An Impenitent Thief is Jerked to Jail
With q Swiftness That Surprises Him.
Two men named Frank Maloney and
Butch O'Donnen were arrested yesterday
morning at sn early hour for carrying
valise to which they could give no explana-
tion as to their ownership. They were ar
rested on suspicion and held till last even
ing when they were tried before Judge Lip
pincott sitting as a Justice OF the Peace,
for petty larceny. O'Donnell annoyed the
court by his drunken interference and was
granted severance by being waited down
to the dungeon by two of the finest to cool
off. Maloney is an Unlocking duck with a
look of unholy and vagabond sh thirst in
his face which would prompt him to take
anything not nailed down. even a red hot
stove. In the present instance he must
have been after 8 stove, and took the
yalise as she handiest to lift, for the cook
in the Arion restaurant missed it out OF the
kitchen that is at the foot OF the stairs on
Main near the Comique upwhich hedouhtless
sneaked it as soon as his turkey -buzzard
eye fell on it. The act was not witnessed
and furthermore could not be proved to
have senUshim up for burglary. The evi-
dence of the COOK as to his property was
plain. 1t was only a question of value so
as to determine the gravity of the crime.
The cook had only a vague idea OF the
value OF the stuff in the broken old valise
and was inclined to raise the limit indeh-
nitely on it. But Mr.. Malones took IN the
situation like an Old Bailey lawyer He
pounced on thecook in most approved style
and metaphorically speaking shook him by
the collar until he dropped the figure below
$40. That saved Mr.. Maloneys g bacon
from a charge of grand larceny and he only
got 500 fine, 80 days imprisonment and
costs and had civil judgment entered
against him for the amount. This quite
unneryed Mr., Maloney, who said since he
had to 60 up he might as well state here
that the other man-meaning O'Donneil,
who got the abrupt severance-was lnno-
cent Of any connections with the case, but
Judge Lippincott will take tie trouble to
satisfy himself on that point first, at
o'clock this evening,

DREADFUL PREcIPIcE
ORDER UNITED WORKMEN.
Another Appeal to Fathers of Families to
Provide for the Hour of Need.


Provide for the Hour of Need.
Ogden Optic of December 3, 1887: Almost
daily appears in the newspapers: "Wehave
a most unpleasant task to perform. Yes
terday one OF our most respected citizens
left his wife and five little ones unprotected
and heavily in debt. 1t is also said that
he (this model husband1 had mortgaged
their home and furniture TO the iBsilest ex-
tent This is case of charity, and as
such we recommend this deserted family to
you, and extend our sympathy"
How did this man (who, I know, when
you read the foregoing, will be pronounced
brute perform such an atrocious ac1?
How could he abandon his loving wife and
-s.44o zssr,nhz
act demands condemnation, and such a
fiend in human shape should be lynched.
The story is very simple. He only did
what you are perhaps doing to-day, tried
to save money, failed in doing SO, pretend
ed to love his family whom he had brought
West, caught pneumonia or typhoid, and
died without having attempted to assure
to his loved ones a beneficiary certificate
in the A. O. q. W. What epitaph shall be
inscribed on his nameless grave in the
potter's field? take care you do not de-
serve similar one.) Here lies the body
OF one who left the world worse than he
found it.
Nautilus rightly said, but practiced
wrongly, No man has right to throw on
society greater burden than it already
bears" Have you the right to leave your
wife and family burden upon it? Another
point is: You may never save $4,000, but
die you must. Ii you become member OF
the A. o. U. W., you have already saved
it, and at death-come when or where it
may-the money will be paid. Can you
afford to risk the repetition OF another
such notice in your case? Or would you
rather squander the small monthly dues
in luxuries? Who will buy Tommy's
shoes? Who will educate dear little Mary
when you are gone? What will the partner
OF your many sorrows and few joys do?
Fancy, if you can, their fearful faces cry
ing Tor bread, and their shiyering forms
barely clad trembling in winters blasts;
think, if you ever have the chance as some
people believe, of looking down from spirit
land, and seeing the family circle broken,
your orphans waits on life's stream, ragged
and neglected Think, say, and tell me ii
you would not act like Old Scrooge in
''Christmas Carols?" To-day, you can;
tomorrow, perhaps, the will may exist
without the ability to crafty it. Seize the
ever blessed present; don't chance the
future. Act like the earnest man you are
in business, and send in an application Tor
membership at once, and let society see
how much sincerity there is in your alleged
love for your family. A little money is the
test, a mere monthly bagatelle. What's the
answer to be? HoTSPUR.

woman's Rights at the Theater.

The proper thing now with the Summer
girl is to go out between the acts, just like
man, and drink soda water. A duo or
trio OF the girls often go to the theater un-
attended by male escorts, always adopting
the English plan, and each paying for her
own seat. At the end of an act they get up
and file out to drink soda water, one Of
them "standlng treat" for theentire party.
Then they walk back, laughing and chat
tering for all the world like their brothers.
Lots OF the girls also accompany their es-

badly enjoy the opera eby not sitting in
their seats while the curtain is down.
