A LEoHERous REPTILE.
Frank Perntti Arrested for Promiscuous
Advances TO Women.

Frank Pcratti, who keeps n fruit stand
at No. 1881 Main street, is vile old sinner
In addition to the industry Of selling
stale fruit-pcanuts. bananas, etc.-hc has
the yillainous habit OF attempting bcastly
liberties with women and girls who come
within range OF his dago tongue.
On several occasions Officer Kehoe has
been informed OF Pcratt's insulting al.
vanccs 10 females. At firt he confined
bis attentions TO those passing his dingy
little stand. In one ease, the husband OF
lady thus treated paid his respects to the
eyil.minded dago, knocking him down.
In another, kinsman Of two young ladies
shocked 10y his conduct, complained 10
Oiliccr Kchoe. "I'll arrest him, II yousay

kinsman; III don't want those two girls 10
be compelled 90 appear in court against
him" Thus have the instances OF ferat.
It's infamous advances grown and multi.
piled until no woman who even walked by
his stand was safe.

Pundita Ramabai.

Pundita Ramabai, the Hindoo widow, is a name
that has become very familiar to all newspaper
readers in the last four months. A very interesting
account of her life, by Frances Willard, appeared
in the Union Signal short time ago. This was
condensed in "Justtia" of Chicago, from which
The CHRONICLE gains the following facts in her his
tory:
'She stands before u.s., writes Miss Willard, a
young woman of medium height and ninety EIGHT
pounds weight not thin, but small boned, muscu-
lar and light, straight as an arrow, quick and
graceful. Her simple dress of gray silk, gutless
of occidental humps and trains and furbelows, with
boyish turn-down collar, and her native chudder
the white wrap of the East-attest her freedom
from the bondage of mantua-maker and milliner.
The spirited pose of her head when the chudder is
removed, gives fullest revelation of her character
The close cut blue black hair permits clear show
ing of those noble outlines, where perception con-
science, beneyoence and indomtable purpose hold
lofty thrones She has dark gray eyes full of light,
straight nose, with tiny tattoo between the eye
brows, high cheek bones, mobile lips and perfect
white teeth" Ramabai is the daughter of a
Marathi priest, and received an education at her
