OFF THE STEAMER.
Arrest of a Fallen Woman and
Her Intended Victim.

The police received information yesterday
that May Hayward. the keeper of house
of bad repute at Guatemala, was about to
depart on tile steamer New York with three
or four girls, who had been enticed from
their homes.
Officers Lean. Hanley and Anthony were
sent 10 the wharf TO intercept any girls I'M
der age who might accompany the woman.
They arrived too late to see all the passen-
gers go aboard, AMI SO the vessel was
stopped out in the stream after leaving the
wharf, to give the officers an opportunity to
make thorough search.
Locked in a state-room on the lower deck
the officers found rather good looking girl
about II years of age. She had no ticket
and confessed that she had gone aboard to
accompany May Hayward to Guatemala.
She gave her name as May Gardiner, aud
the tug Miller was brought into reQuisition
to convey the two Mays ashore.
They were taken to the City Prison,
where the Hayward woman was charged
with felony ami the rescued girl booked for
the Magdalen Asylum. 1t is said that the
Hayward woman had made arrangements
to have two other girls go with her, but
their relatives heard of 1T in time to prevent
their departuTe

Prevalence of La Grippe - High Death
Rate for February.
According to the monthly circular just
issued by the State Board Of Health the
mortality reports received from eighty-fve
localities with an estimated population of
$4,000, the percentage Of deaths amounted
TO 1.66 for the month, or an annual mortality
Of 1892. This is much higher death-rate
than usual for California at this season,
and is attributed to the great prevalence of
diseases of the respiratory organs. as there
Is but little infectious zymotic disease pre-
vailing.
Among the prominent causes of death
during the month were: Pneumonia, with
l6O victims; bronchitis. with "A; Group,
with %, Of which % cases occurred in San
Francisco; heart disease, 100; consumption,
167; dphtheria, 81.
Pneumonia is reported as having been
general throughout the State. Bronchitis
also prevailed TO an alarming extent, but its
type was not Of serious character. Diph-

epidemic is the frequency with which cases
occur in which the coughi is almost entirely
absent, aud others in which pneumonia OF a
low type is almost certain to be developed
The debility accompanying the disease is
invariably present and must be treated by
stimulants literally given. The origin of
the disease being unknown. the power of the
santarian over it is exceedingly limited, and
consists chiefly in advising the avoidance of
all depressing influences that might deteri-
crate the healthy constitution or impair its
strength.
Speaking of diphtheria, the circular says
that the spread of the disease might be ma
terially lessened if the public could be taught
to look upon it as it does upon smallpox,
and take the same precautions in isolating
its victims as it does those Of the more loath-
some disease, which, while disagreeable to
wait upon, is not half so deadly in its re-
suits as the diphtheritic poison.
II also informs the public that where an
infectious or contagious disease occurs in a
nome, and tho washing of the patients bed
ding or clothing is sent away to be washed
without first being thoroughly disnfected,
tue Washerwoman or any of her family who
thereby become infected can recover dam
ages in a court of law, if not previously noti-
fed or warned that the clothing is infected.
A few successful suits of this kind would
engender caution and realization of the
fact that public protection must be afforded
against infectious disease,

YOUTHS DIRECTORY.
The Annual RepOrt-Some PERTH.
nent Suggestions.

Rev. D. o. Crowley has just made his an
nual report of the Youths Directory to his
Grace Archbishop Riordan and the men,
bers of st. Joseph's Union.
The document, which Is an exhaustive
one, reiterates the continued progress of the
institution in all departments save the en-
plOyment bu-eau, which, during the past
twelyemonth, has not kept pace with the
increased amount of good noted in the other
departments. This Is accounted Tor by the
ia ct that the two gentlemen in charge of
the bureau have all they can do to keep it
to its present standard of efficiency, and Il
suggestion is made that they be given an
assis ant, who shall devote all his energies
to that branch of the work.
Attention is drawn to the fact that many
Of the boys who have been apprenticed to
trades have to shift for themselves as soon
as their proficiency brings them sufficient to
pay their board and living expenses else
where. This Father Crowley regrets, as he
believes it would be hetter for them to be
kept under the mild but firm discipline of the
Directory Tor year or two longer, but
the accommodation Is SO limited and
the demands upon IL so pressing that
under present circumstances this cannot be
avoided. As the boys under the present
system of apprentcing them make far bet
ter progress in their trades than If in
structed in technical school or reforma-
tory Father Crowley hopes that some public
spirited citizen will come forward and en-
large the present building so that the boys
can be accommodated at the home until the
close of their apprenticeship.
During the year fifty boys living with their
parents or guardians were provided with
situations, as follows: Shops 143, factories

During the same period 462 boys were
