Girls as Highway Robbers

The latest highway robbery in the
vicinity of Fall River, despatch from
that city says, has SO much of the ludi-
crous surrounding it that the serious ma
ture of the crime is almost lost sight of.
Alice Greenwood and Agnes Sexton, each
about twelve years of age, were the vic
Tins They were walking along Pleas
ant street, near the Merchants Mill, Sat
nrday evening, when they We're aecosted
by three other girls of about the same
age. The three strangers demanded the
purse which the Greenwood girl carried.
Naturally she objected. Then the three
girls held her up in the most APPROX
ed Western style. One OF them held the
girls arms, while another of them put
snuff in her nose When the victim
sneezed she loosened her hold upon the
pocketbook, and the third young rob-
Der improved the opportunity to snatch
it from her hand. Then they ran around
the corner and disappeared down Four
teenth street
The Greenwood girl ran after them
crying. and was met by James Irving,
the goal-tender of the East End Foot
ball Club He was informed of the rob
berry and joined in the chase. He found
the girl bandits seated behind a stone
crusher dividing the spoils. The pres
ence of a man among them took away
their courage, and they readily surren-
dered the money. While Mr. Irving was
looking for "a policeman the girls escaped,
and have not yet been caught.

lis paper on The Future of Fruit in
Virginia was highly commended, as it
was interesting and practical
In it he referred to a neighbor of his
in the mountain district OF Virginia, who
last year cleared more money in three
weeks of his cherry season than he
formerly did in a years hard labor in his
tobacco fields. Almost all known varie-
Ties of peaches can be raised with success,
while her apples stand unrivaled, the
Albemarle pipin being the queen in the
galaxy of apples.

National Women's Alliance

A dispatch from Topeka, Kansas says:
Shortly after the election in this State
last fall Miss Fannie Mccormick, the
Peoples party candidate for Snperin-
tendent of Public Instruction, declared
in a speech that if the farmers wives had
been properly organized the Alliance
would have elected the entire ticket.
Yesterday the charter of the National
Woman's Alliance, with Miss Fannie Nc
Cormick as its president, was filed with
the Secretary of State. The incorpora-
Tors include. the wives of each Of the AL
lance congressman, and Mrs. Senator
PETER heads the list.

The Real Aim of the Silver Men.

The purpose of this treatise is to present this
case in such a way that it may become apparent
to any person of common Intelligence that mere
free coinage is not the true object of those who
advocate the unlimited coinage of silver dollars
at the present time without any change i'll the
present acts OF legal tender There two
classes or parties now engaged in this effort
First, the owners of silver mines and their adj
yocates, both in Congress and without, who de-
sire to sell silver bullion to the government at
twenty to thirty per cent more than it is worth,
taxing the people or this country for their own
profit without any regard for any other interest
than their own.
Second, the misguided persons who think it
NAV be more profitable especially to the farm
ing community, to deprive them of any further
credit by enabling them to pay their present
debts in cheap money or, in other words, in de-
preciaJed coin. With these misguided persons
may be counted the politicians who mislead
them in order to secure their votes by advocat
ing measures which they know to be wrong

The MERIDIoNAL Anti who wroteoA
lotteries in France, is. ignorant of the
French Government. He does not
know that there are now many. lotte-
ries authorized by the government and
under its control. There is Vile de
Paris, credit f~oneier, Les Foncieres-
You must reflect STANDARDIZATION
Star.
The following from the sEncyclope~
dia Britannica a standard authority,
shows that the MERIDIoNAL Anti did
reflect.
"There is no doubt that lotteries had
q d~enoraligiag effect in French society.
They were denounced by the eloquent
Bishop Of Aat@m take notice Mr..
Voicil, as no better than the popular
games OF belle and birth they we're
condemned on financial grounds by
Turgot; and Condillac compared them
to the debasemet of money which was
practiced by the Kings of France. The
"Loterie Royalen was ultimately sap
pressed in 1886. Under the law of 29th
May 1874, lotteries meg be held for the.
assistance of charity and the fine arts.
The s'Societe du Credit Foncier" and
many Of the large towns are permitted
TO contract loaaes, the periodical Sepay-
meats Of sohac1 are determined By lot
This practice which is prohibited in
Germany and England resembles the
older system Of giving higher and lower
rates of interest according to lot.
If there is any affinity between the
aCredit Foncier1, "Ville de Paris and
other loan associations and the Louis
lana State Lottery We fail to see it.
The "Loterie Royalen was of the same
stamp but it was suppressed, and fur
