for little thirty-two page pamphlet, which
was subsequently printed in the Office of
the Daily Ncws. The title of the book is
''The Sporting and Club House Directory
of Tacoma On the cover is also printed

standing this. for gratuitous distribution,
and were gotten up simply as an adver-
Using dodge. Tbs would all be legitimate
enough were it not for the startling fact
that it is an advertisement for the houses
of ill-repute in the city, and secondly for
any one who might patronize. Unfor-
tunate women were charged enormous
prices for having their names and addresses
printed on its pages. Merchants paid high
rates for space between its covers. All the
disreputsble houses in the city were flooded
with them and many of the merchants
have them secreted behind their counters
to distribute when occasion presents itself.

Runaway.
Washington City Post June 90.
When Miss Frederika Prescott, the
daughter of President John A. Prescott.
of the Lincoln National Bank, started out
for a drive Tuesday evening she didn't
anticipate the dangerous experience and
narrow escape from serious injury, if not
death, which she met. With her in the
double-seated carriage were two lady
friends. They drove out through the Sol
diers' Home grounds as far as the Catholic
University. Turning back. their horse be-
came frightened and broke into a run,
becoming Immediately uncomfortable. He
dashed at full speed through the driveways
of the grounds, narrowly avoiding collision
with other vehicles. and shot through the
west gates without diminishing in the least
his headlong run. Every effort made to
stop him was unavailing.
Coming over the rise into Whitney ave-
nue., the runaway was espied by Mr.. Nor
man r. Smith. who was out riding with
Miss Portia, daughter of Mrs Kate Chase
They were mounted on pair of Mrs
Chase's thoroughbreds. With great pres
ence of mind Mr.. Smith forced his CON-
panion's horse TO the roadside, and, turn
ing, charged without hesitation for the
head of the runaway. A big black horse
boiling along down grade like an express
train is not a comfortable object to oppose,
but the gallant horseman was in the mid >
die OF the road in an instant. He had no
spurs, and had to rely on the bride for
guidance. The runaway dashed into him,
xhirling the lighter horse completely
around and almost off its feet, the wheels
grazing its legs sharply. But the blooded
horse was up like a flash. its pIucky rider
again in the saddle. Again he dashed for
the runaway. Ranging alongside he
leaned forward and grasped its bit, and by
continued and violent exertion brought it
to a halt. though not without several mar
row escapes from collisions with the trees
which divide the avenue.
By this time the carriage was surrounded
by crowd of people, who congratulated
the rescued ana compiimented the rescuer.
1t was with great reluctance that Mr.. Smith
was induced 10 make known his name.
He is the son of gentleman who was edi-
tor Of the Cincinnati Commercial before the
war, and afterward co lector OF customs for
the Puget sound district. Mr.. Smith him.
