from Smiths Creek, named Lawrence,
on the 18th ult, about q mile south of
Rattle Run. In raising house for
Halls father, they had the house screw
eel up and on blocks, with the exception
of one corner which needed few turns
of one of the screws, when the struc-
ture slid from the blocks to the ground,
they being caught underneath the
building There being no one around
the premises excepting the mother and
a l4-year-old sister of young Hall, and
the mother being too hOrriied to rem
der any aid the young girl heroically
went around the house calling to the
the imprisoned men until she family
heard their answer, and taking spade
dug them out, both having luckily got
between the sleeEers of the floor as the
house came down upon them and were
therefore unharmed.-St. Clair Repub-

The swindler calling himself Prof. DE

called upon to account for the robbery of q
poor girl named MARY MoDoUoHAL, whom he
~plundered OF 800 at Providence. R. l.. under
the pretense that he could procure her an
expensive plate. which would cure her of q
nervous disease that rendered her helpless.
II is singular that such scoundrels as this
DE BLANC can succeed in finding victims
when people of common sense must
know how frequently they have been
exposed. But the old saying that there
are as good fish in the sea as

were not always to be found credulous and
foolish persons ready to pc robbed. the bust

It is the duty of the press to expose rascal

is practised. DE BLANC would have plum

A GLASS HousR

According to the old saying that persons
who live in glass houses should not indulge
in the pastime Of throwing stones ct their
~neighbors, it will be prudent of the peo-
pie of the Unitod States not to talk
too gibly of the wretched ineficiency
of the London police as shown
in the {, ilure to detect the Whitechapel
fiend, however glaring the stupidity Of that
force may be. The list of undecided crimes
in this country, published in to-day's EVEN
ING WORLD. shows that re have not much to
boast of In our American police.
OF course this does not apply to the New
York force under its present efficient man.
ngement. Supt. murray and Chief BYRNEs
have made our police far better than 1t ever
was before. md as efficient probably as any
large force can expect to be. The New York
detectives are now o terror to evil-doers.
But we have an extensive country,
and In Illinois, Connecticut and other local
tiles, as well as in our own city under former
management, n vast number of heinous
crimes have gone undiscovered. The list
will astonish those who have not given any
thought to the matter. }
It Is to be hoped that under its new head
the London police may soon unearth the
Whitechapel mystery. II Is to be hoped, too,
that in all parts of the United States the at
tempt viii be made 10 bring the local police
up to the standard that has, fortunately, been
attained In this city.

A BOON FOB woRK1NewoMBN.

Several attempts have been made to estab-
lish an institution at which working girls
could spend their evenings and leisure hours
in amusements and in instructive pursuits.
The Manhattan Working Girls Society,
In East Fifty-seventh street, has done some
good in this direction, but Its accommo
dations are necessarily limited. It is now
proposed on the groundwork of that Society
to establish a home where from two to three
thousand w~orkingwomen can be accommo-
dated, and where they will find healthful
recreation and useful instruction compare
lively free of cost.
1t is intended that this institution shall
have reading-rooms. gymnaaiums, bath
rooms, m industrial hall where lessons in
dressmaking. millinery. machine sewing,
thanksgiving md all pursuits fitting
for women will be given, and q
kitchen where plain cooking will be
taught. There will be an extensive library
supplied with all the daily papers. and moth.
ing will be neglected to make the establish.
ment complete. Lectures and occasional
concerts will be given on stated evenings Of
tho week.
Success TO the enter prisei It il one that
ought to succeed. for It Is just what the
workingwomen of New York need for theil
Improvement, health and recreation.

Two belated travellers stepped one night
lately into o small bar-room on Manhattan
pyenue.
The floor was strewn With snwdust. On
the shelves bottles in pink and blue tissue
paper lent a festive air Of gnyety to the other
wise barren look of things.
Not far behind the two travellers q Scotch
piper in full feather came in. having q bag
pipe under his arm. A man clothed only in
the unpicturesque garb Of q .naturalized
American came in with him. They took beer.
While they were drinking a new visitor
came on the scene in the shape of a fiabby-
looking young man.. run to flesh, who was
drunk.
After they had drunk. one Of the belated
travellers Git was now past midnight) said to

hair which o Scotchman wears with his
regalia. Amid the medley of different things
cleaned three inches of red flesh where his
bare legs showed below his kilt.
The three-quarters-drunk man was stirred
by the robust vigor Of the piper, which filled
the little bar-room with q deafening blast as
If ten million bees were humming In the
widest rage. He got up and proceeded to
throw q leg. His dance was better intended
than executed, for at one stirring note be
flung his leg too high and toppled heavily 70
the floor. He was recovered and perched,
non the worse for his fall. on q chair.
After the first tune the thin piper beered
up once more and then hit the pipe
again. The stout young inebriate gave signs
as If he meant to rise, when the other man
sat suddenly on his knees. This kept him
pinned down, although every now and ther
he would give a spasmodic twitch. Then the
sitting man would look down to see If he wat

two belated travellers enjoyed it thoroughly,
but 1t got to be 1 O'Clock and they had to go.
