AGAINST THE SOCIAL EVIL.
Basis for Judge Noonan's very
Severe Charge 20 the
Grand Jury.

The law passed by the Lass leeisla-
ture defines disorderly houses very
exactly, and makes the penalty on
the keepers of such houses quite as
heavy as upon the inmates. The law,
as it is prescribed in the enactment,
was made the special feature in Judge
Noonan's late charge to the grand
Jury, and is as follows: ga disorderly
house is one kept for prostitution or
where prostitutes are permitted to re-
sort or reside for the purpose of plying
their vocation, or any theatre, play
house, or house where spirituous,
vinOus or malt liquors are kept for
sale, and prostitutes, lewd women, or
women of bad reputation for chastity
are employed, kept in service, or per-
mitted to conduct themselves IN a
lewd, lacivious or indecent manner, or
to which persons resort for the pur-
pose of smoking or in any manner
using opium"
This will play havoc with Mr..
Chinaman's trade, and will prob
ably have tendency to quell
the variety theatre impulse. The
penalty is prescribed in the following,
which also pays some attention to the
owners of property rented for such
purposes, viz:
ANY owner, lessee or tenant, who
shall Keep, or be concerned in keep
ing, or knowingly permit the keeping
of q disOrderiy house, in any house,
| building, edifice, or tenement, owned,
leased, or occupied by him, shall be
deemed guilty of keeping, or being
| concerned in keeping, or knowingly
permitting TO be kept, as the case may
be, disOrderly house, and shall be
punished by a fine of 5000 for each
day he shall keep, be concerned in
keeping, or knowingly permit to be
kept, such disorderly house. Any
owner having information that his
house is being kept, used or occupied
as a disorderly house shall be held
guilty of knowingly permitting his
house to be kept as disorderly house
under this act. unless he shall i'm
mediately proceed to prevent the
keeping, using, or occupying of such
house by giving such information to
the county or district attorney against
such lessee, tenant, or occupant, or
take such other steps as may reasOna-
bly, accomplish such result"
The penalty for keeping such house
is not less than 500 and not more
than 500 fer each day such is kept.
Sheritfs and deputies, constables and
deputies, the mayors of cities, towns,
police are specially charged to dis.
cover violations of this law, land report
to the proper legal authorities, and
the district judges are required to
specially charge each grand jury as to
this law, and grand juries are re-
quired to regularly call before them at
each sitting each and all of these Of
ficers as named, and examine them
under oath as touching such viola
tons.

SMOOTH FACES IN FASHION,
Lates Whin7 of Young Men Who
Pretend TO be in Style.

Lates. Whin1 of Young Men Who
Pretend TO be in Style,
New York S N.
1t is becoming fashionable for men
TO shave their boards and go around
with smooth faces. This applies par
ticularly 10 the young men who have
been wearing close-cropped pointed
boards and mustaches as long as the
points of their boards. 1t is not con-
sidered the best of form for these
young men 10 be seen in public
barber shop. OF course to have their
faces constantly smooth they
must shave themselves or get
shaved somewhere, but there
is beginning to be prejudice against
sitting in line in "a public barber shop,
lust as there has been for some time
against sitting on the public boot
black stands at the street corners. a
man must have his shoes shined, UNI
less he wears patent leather or russell
shoes. and even then they need some
looking after, but he is expected TO
have the work done in some place
where he will not be seen during the
process.
The recent whim against appearing
in the public barber shops Will, not
hurt the barber shops any more than
the prejudice against pubic boot
black stands among the same class OF
men has seriously injured the busl-
ness of the bootblacks. The class o.
men who pay attention to all these
things is not so large as to hurt the
trade of more than a dozen places.
The theory of the matter is that q
man is shaved by his valet, ana
! that every man who can afford TO De
sufficiently good form to pay atten-
| ton to all these things has enough
| money or credit to have a valet; or, If
| he has not valet, to make bluff at
| it. On the same assumption that his
man looks after his clothes and shoes
| is the other assumption that his mar
also shaves him. No fashionable
| young man would be seen taking his
clothes to his tailor's to be pressed,
and though most of them who have
| the creases /" their trousers frequent
ly renewed, get the work done at their
| tailOr's, they make pretense of hav-
| ing it done by their man, and to the
| other duties of this man, in many cases
| suppOsltiOus being, is added the
! care of mis- masters face.
The fashion of the smOOth-shaven face
| is said to have come from the actors.
Just as actresses influence the styles
OF dress of women, actors have been
| to q less extent influencing the APP
parel and appearance of a certain
| class of men. The way of wearing
the hair which was prevalent year
or two ago was begun by actors. AL
most ali actors have smooth faces. es-
pecially almost all the actors who
pose on the stage, and who attract
| audiences of women to admire them.
The fashion of having a smooth face
is just coming in, and it has not yet
been taken up to great extent. A
man may sacrifice his beard, but if he
has bad mouth or face which would
be harsh in outline without the curves
of his mustache to change it, he will
not abandon his present advantages
quickly.

A PARENTAL BRUTE.
Nearly Kills his Little Boy with a
Strap and Buckle,

Nearly Kills his Little Boy with a
Strap and Buckle.
Geo. Staudt, who runs a kind Of
boarding house on Austin street near
the Sunset depot, while partially in
toxicated and thoroughly enraged
this morning beat his little seven
year old boy so badly over the head
with bis fireman's belt and heavy
buckle as to nearly kill the child.
This was done, he says, because the
child did not wash the dishes clean.
Staudt is a member of the Sunset
Hose company, or at least, has one of
their badges in his possession, and
also belt. He has made a practice
of beating and illtreating his
children and this morning the
boy, who is puny little child, was
so badly cut about. the head and
shoulders with the metal buckle,
that his blood covered him and filled
his little shoes. Policeman Miller ar
rested the brute and the recorder
fined him $3.50 for the otfense, and
when Staudt began cursing in court
the recorder fined him S25 for con-
tempt three times, making his total
fines amount to 1925, all of which Mr..
Staudt should very righteously be
made to serve out in Jail.

The Mayors Message to Chicago.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June ia Pitts
burg special to the Tribune says:
Messrs. Onahan, Reind and Ballard
of the Chicago relief committee this a.
m. received a message from Mayor
Gregory saying: "Our funds are for
the immediate want of the living;
consider this.n The committee at
once went to see Treasurer Thomson
of the general relief fund and with
drew the Chicago contribution of
twenty-seven thousand dollars, say
ing they would take the money
with them to Chicago and hold
it until they knew definitely what
action the governor would take in re-
gard to taking charge and paying for
the removal of debris at Johnstown.
They were requested to leave the
funds sealed and placed in vault
only to be opened upon their order,
but they preferred to take the money
and did so. On their arrival in Chica-
go they said they were disgusted at
the way in which money sent had
been perverted to clean up state
highway instead of being devoted to
the homeless and suffering poor of
JOhnstown.

Rain and Gloom In the Valley.

Rain and Gloom IN the valley.
JOHNSTOWN, June 1l.-This is the
last day for clearing away the effects
of the flood by the civil authorities,
tomorrow the state takes hold of the
work of restoring the valley to its
condition before the flood, and all
work done after today will be I'M
der the supervision of Adjutant
General Hastings. The weary
and dreary succession of rainy
days since the flood continues and
broke into a drilling rain. But
while rain has made the work more
disagreeble, it has had some good re-
suits. But for the almost continuous
rains, the river at this point would
have become too low to float away
the debris that is fast being losened
and thrown into the river. The hor-
ror of the situation has not dimin-
ished, but rather grows. Search for
dead bodies continues and in all Sec
tions and directions the dead are being
found. Numbers of bodies are now
coming to the surface of the waters.

A large number of people from the
West side attended a picnic at Steiffel'S
park Sunday afternoon given by the
Cleveland Grove of Druids. Every
thing had been done to make the event
a success, and all was merriment until
the intense heat produced a craving for
ice cream among the ladies ana chill
dren of the party, and large can of the
frozen Tactical was produced and dis
cussed with great avidity. The re-
suit was startling. In very short
time all those who had partaken of the
cream were taken violently i'll with
symptoms of arsenical poisoning, and
many had to be conveyed to their
homes. All interest in the days pro-
gTamme was lost in the anxiety felt for
the sufferers, and general rush was
made for medical aid. Luckily but
little of the cream had been consumed
by any of the young folks, or the result
might have been more serious than is
the case.
poison were Mrs. Sergt. Hanft and
children, Mrs. Gus Hanft and family,
Mrs. Henry Gross and children, Mrs.
Anton Melyer and two little girls, and
six children of Mrs. Nascher. All were
on the road to recovery when
seen last evening. Mrs. Steiffel, who
made the cream, is unable to account
for the effect it produced, saying that
she was extremely careful in its manu-
facture, and used the best material OBJ
tainable. All the West side medicos
were busily engaged during Sunday
night in resascitating those who had
partaken of the deadly mixture.

County Guardians Go In for It.
Yesterdays Business Record,
The county commissioners, at their
meeting yesterday, sat down on the
board of control and put a check to its
unwarranted expenditures. Several
weeks ago the board Of control resolved
to send a delegate to the San Francisco
convention of charity and correction
workers, and yesterday the county COM
missioners were asked to make an an
preparation for that purpose. But MIR.
Boyd thought the poor fund was already
sufficiently drawn upon, and he moved
that no appropriation be made. The
motion prevailed. Mr.. Boyd then toed
the mark for another round with the
board of control in general, and j. P.
Wright in particular, by introducing
the following resolution, which passed:
Resolved, That the board of control is
hereby directed not to eXpend, incur or
cause to be expended any money orindebt-
edneSs whatever for the services of purchaS-
ing agent of the almshouse hospital or super
intendent Of construction until further
notice from this board.
Mr.. Wright has been drawing salary
for filling those two offices in addition
to his regular salary as member of the
board of control.
H. P. Halls objection to the publica-
ton of the detailed reports Of county
officials was not sustained. The board
ordered that the publication of the re-
ports be continued.

about fifty dead bodies would be ex-

By the Chamber OF Commerce for
DereIiction in Waterway Appro-
priations.
There were but few members of the
chamber of commerce present. yester-
day morning, but the discussion pro-
ceeded as usual. The delegation which
attended the waterways convention
submitted report. which included the
following, signed by G. c. Andrews, a.
Pugh and ID. d.. Merrill: ..-.
Your delegates would call attention to the
fact that in appropriationsf for improving the
navigation of the great lakes, congress Is lar
behind shipbuilders and the United States
engineers. 1t is behind for this present us
cal wear to an amount exceeding S3, 10000.
The United States engineers 9who are al
known to be conservative, and liable to err,
if at ali, on the sidesof eaution,O estimated
that the following amounts Tor the spe-
cifc improvements mentioned could De
nrofitably expended in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1890 but no part of which were
appropriated namely: Lock for twenty feet
navigation st. Mary's canal, 81 23o, 80; I'M
provement of Hay lake channel so as to save
eleven miles, and secure safe navigation at
night, $500. 900; st. Glare fats canal, SlSl.-
$50: Crosse point channel, at foot OF Lake
St. Claire, $2Oo,O0O: in all, So, 116, 12o.
lacking for this fiscal year. It's not too
much to say that the Accomplishment of the
projects for twenty feet depth of navigation
at these four places, thus securingit partially
for that depth from Buffalo to Duluth, would
afford saving to the people sending west OF
the great lakes of several million dollars
year.
If our country were surrounded by power
full nations and obliged to sustain vast stand
ing armies, if its treasury was empty ana
credit poor even then there would be slight
excuse for dallying with the Navigation OF
the great lakes, but under all the clrcum-
stances the small interest congress seems TO
take in the matter is amazing.
The point raised was discussed and
then recommitted for appropriate reso-
lutions. Col. DayiSon's resolution pre-
vailed, urging city officers to push the
litigation against the Milwaukee road
to determine the city's rights in cases
of adverse possession. John w. Foroee,
of the Nelson county, North Dakota, re-
lief committee, wrote that %, 700 would
be necessary to tide over the drought
sufferers in that county. Mrs. Anna NJ.
Rice gracefully acknowledged the
chambers tribute to her late husband,
Hon. Edmund Rice. James Gordon
Bennett, of the New York Herald,
wanted an expression of the chambers
preferences of location for the worlds
fair and whether national subsidy or
personal subscription should raise the
funds. DR.. Ancker gave the chamber
an overhauling for unjust criticism OF
the hospital commission, and at his re-
quest the committee on sanitation was
deputed to join him in an investigation.

AT THE NEW HARRIS.
The Opening With Martha"
Creditably Consummated.

The Opening With martha"
Creditably Contaminated.
The whilom Peoples theater has dis
there opened the doors of the handsome.
bright and cosy Harris theater, as de-
lightful and inviting Thespian temple
as one could desire to enjoy. With taste
and skill the changes have been
wrought, until now the transformation
is complete-a symphony in white and
gold. Interest in the new management.
curiosity to see the new theater and the
prestige of the Morrissey company COM
bined to make the opening a peculiar
success. About every seat in the audi
forum was taken, and though every
box was sold, the unpleasant weather
caused some of the seats to remain
vacant. 1t was very brilliant
audience, and typical st. Paul
gathering. Among those who occupied
boxes were the following: Hon. Alex
Ramsey and family, Hon. J. G. Flynn
and wife, Aid. Walter II. Sanborn and
family, j. A. Wheelock and family,
Hon. Stanford Newell and family, Gen.
Hahn and family, Minneapolis; E. A.
Merrill and family, George r. Finch
and a Minnetonka party, 81. P. Hall and
family, Hon. e. ID. O'Brien and family
and Capt. George Schoeffel and wife.
The Morrissey company is good one
in all essential details and numbers, and
has several exceedingly fine voices.
While the opera billed was Martha"
the sweet music of which is uneXcelled,
yet it is doubtful whether one of the
new and taking comic operas would not
have been a stronger bin under the cir
cumstances. Real lovers of music
would prefer martha" to all the comic
opera eXtant, but the mass of theater
goerS are not musically well
educated. Still, some of the solos
and quartettes were so very
well rendered as to compel the ap-
plauSe and encore even of auditors on
whom lesser beauties were lost. st.
Paul people have frequently heard
Karl, Clark, Marie Stone and Agnes
Huntingdon in the leading roles of
"Martha," and MessrS. Baxter and
Mama, Mile. Bouer and Aida Varena,
who took the same roles last night, did
not suffer by comparison. The good
night song was warmly applauded, and
Mile. Varena's rendition OF The Last
Rose of Summer" received double en-
core. The choruseS are well trained
and sustained, and the opera creditably
put on. both in stag ing and music.
"Martha" will be the bill for the first
half of the week, and Faust will sue
ceed it.
