One of Our Girls.


One of Our Girls.
Among the sojourners at Santa Cruz are
the wife aud children of a K-street business
man. The eldest of the children is n girl of
Is years of age, who is regarded as one of
the brightest of the pupils in the High
School who distinguished themselves dur
ing the past term. Yesterday was her
fathers birthday, and he received from his
little daughter letter full of congratula-
tons upon the event. 1t was couched in
language SO choice for one of such tender
years, that an extract therefrom is worthy
of publication-the more so as it breathes
that true spirit of filial affection which is
the glory of every parent who loves his
children, and without which home life is
robbed of its chief feature of happiness
The letter begins:
DEAR PAPA: At this new point in lifes jour
ney, may the road which stretches out before
you be as smooth and pleasant that which
you have already traversed May all mistor
tunes be banished, and only prosperity attend
you. Dear papa, receive lin imaginatiOn) just
forty-three kisses and forty hree embraces from
me fory your birthday.
Surely the parents of such children can
have no personal interest in the oft-repeated
query, What shall we do with our girls p"
Home influences and home trainiug-if the
latter term be not too harsh-will solve the
problem for such as have homes and good
parents. All others are indeed to be pitied.

To-day Judge Henry will pass sentence
upon Louis Verheyan, the six-foot brute
who has been convicted of administering a
merciless beating to Annie Verogan, alias

lowing ground:

the evidence and the complaint-in this,
that the complaint charges battery against
Lille Forrest when the evidence shows
the name Of the party assaulted to be
Annie VerogaH.
Second-That the prosecution were al
lowed to contradict their own witnesses,
when the law binds them to the testimony,
whether true or false.
Third-The defendant entered a plea of
a former acquittal of the charges, this form
ing an issue in the case, 70 be tried by the
Jury as any other issue, and the Court
failed to instruct the jury upon this propo-
sition, and the jury failed TO find a verdict
upon the issue thus raised.
