Street Temptations.

There are parents who were
shocked by the recent revelation
of vices in London, and yet who
are unconscious Of the fact that
they are permitting their own chill
dren to be exposed to the same
temptations that brought the youth
of London to ruin. In every city
in this country tits usual to find the
streets crowded in the evening with
young people-boys and girls
who are treading dangerous paths.
Any evening you will find boys at
the corners or Longing by doors of
saloons listening to the ribald talk
of those inside. These boys are in
the nursery of crime. The ranks of
criminals are being constantly re.
cruited from this class. They grow
with marvellous rapidity. Girls in
their teens are also found on the
streets. You see them going up
and down or lettering on the cor
ners by twos and threes; girls Of
respectable parentage, who per.
haps have their mothers consent to
walk out awhile, not knowing that
frequently by their actions these
young daughters are encouring the
familiar attentions of those scaven.
gers Of the devil, the male firts,
whose notice has so often been the
forerunner Of moral degradation.
Whenever a girl chafes at the love
guard which mothers anxiety
throws about her, she has started
on the downward course, the end Of
which is blasted home, a mothers
heart broken and fathers head
bowed in shame. If fathers and
mothers wish to save their children
they must make their homes happy
for the boys and girls within them,
and thus keep them ont Of the
streets. -[Exchauge.

SOME years ago the sending
Of cheese to England would be like
sending Goals to Newcastle. But
now the dairymen Of England are
forced to admit the superiority of
American cheese, and English con.
samers are using it freely. One day
last week twenty-five car loads Of
cheese were shipped from Sheboy-
fan county, Wisconsin, to England

PARNELLs BOLD PLAN.
Old England Alarmed by His Cry of
DtsuniOn.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-Mr. Parnelps Dub
lin speech of yesterday has thoroughly
aroused the Conservative press of Eng
land. The Times says that no prudent
politician can huderrate the Importance
of the action taken by the Irish National
lists at their conference in Dublin yester-
day. "Mr. Parnell's programme" con-
tinues the Times, ''may, however, meet
with fate similar to that which befell
OCOnnelPs at the time when the Irish
were as confident as they are now. Mr.
Parnell demands the repeal of the Union
So the Irish question Is no longer a ques-
ton Of local self-goYernment. This might
be acoeded to by England, which will
never listen to plan for separation OF
Ireland"
PARNELL's STRENGTH ADMITTED.
The Standard says: "Mr. Parnell has
declared war. 1t will be a shame and
disaster II English statesmen Of both par
ties fail to battle him We do not pretend
to ignore the danger to which imperial
unity is exposed. Mr.. Parnell now holds
a strong band. The late Liberal majority
in Parliament could afford to ignore him,
but it will be different in a Parliament
evenly balanced between the two parties.
Mr.. Parnell has, however, rivals by the
score. He knows very well how preca-
rious his tenure of authority is. If both
Wings and Tories make it clear from the
outset then Mr.. Parnell's demand for
home rule will be met with firm OppOsi-
ton. His influence will be doomed"
The Nel1S takes advantage of the ex-
citement over Mr.. Parnel's bold declara-
ton for Irish independence, to exhibit the
advantage which large Liberal majority
would be- to the country. The Liberals,
argues the NelCS, are more likely to OPP
pose Parnellite demands than the Conser-
VatiVes.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin will give a
banquet at the Mansion house next Tues
day TO MIR. Parnell and his Irish col
Ieagues in the House Of Commons.

Germany's Seizure of the CarOlines De-
nOunced in All the Provinces.
MADRID, Aug. 26.-Count de Beromar,
the Spanish Ambassador to Berlin, tele-
graphs to-day that Germany states that
she declared protectorate over the Caro-
line Islands believing that they were un-
occupied, and that before doing so she
informed Spain that Germany was willing
to discuss the question of possession with
Spain, or, if necessary, to submit it to
arbitration.
Meetings were held throughout the
provinces to-day for the purpose of pro-
testing against Germany's seizure Of the
Caroline Islands. The proceedings at all
places were orderly.
In the past twelve hours IA new cases
and IA deaths have been reported in Mad
rid. Suspicious cases of sickness are re-
ported at Malaga.
HOPING FOR AN AGREEMENT.
BERLIN, Aug. 20 The Cologne Gazette
publishes an amicable article on the Caro-
lines trouble, and says that it hopes the
difficulty will soon be removed, and that
mutual good will strengthen the old
friendships between Germany and Spain.
1t is denied that Germany has refused
to submit the Carolines dispute to arbi-
tration, as reported, and it is stated
that the question of arbiErating the diff
Guilty has not yet been moOted by either
Spain or Germany.
VICTORIA NOT TO ABBITRATE.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-The rumor that
Queen Victoria will arbitrate the Caro-
lines dispute between Spain and Germany
is not believed here, as England joined
with Germany in the note of opposition to
Spain's claims.

AUFDEntORTEs CAPTURE.
Assertions That He Was Given Up
Without Proper ExtraditiOn.


Without Proper ExtraditiOn.
From the Nel0 York Herald.
LAREDO, TEX, Aug. "a. - Singular
stories are current here relating to the
manner in which John T. AutGemorte,
the defaulting redemption clerk of the
United States subj easury of New Or
leans, was successfully brought from
Monterey, Mex, and landed on this side
of the Rio Grande. Fuller details Of his
capture say that Deputy United States
Marshal Parker was dispatched to NJ on
terey for the prisoner, and upon his arriv-
al made formal charge against Aufde-
mOrte OF embezzling United states funds
and demanded the eXtraditlon of the pris-
Oner. Autdem0rte was given hearing
before a Mexican tribunal, was ably rep
represented by local legal talent and sue
ceeded in defeating Deputy Marshal
Parker, the court holding that the exist
ing treaty between the two governments
did not make it obligatory upon either to
surrender embezzlers, even though they
had defrauded the government.
PRACTICALLY KIDNAPPED.
Extradition was therefore refused, and
AufdemOrte would have been released but
for an old Mexican law which provides
for the expulsion from Mexico of any and
all perniciOus foreigners. This, coupled
with the fact that the CITY officials Of Mon
terey being aware that a large reward
was offered for AufdemOTte. uade them
plant agents in aiding in the Kidnapping
OF AufdemOrte aud bringing him TO Lare-
do, where he was taken into CUSTODY by
Deputy United States Marshall Parker,
and lodged IN Jail. Yesterday morning
