bounded by set of men who desired to
injure him in his position. Mr.. Mere

a Colored young lady to place at

young lady. She was opposed by the
plate printers who were promptly lin
formed by Capt. Meredith that unless
they would work with other employees

In 1882 Mr.. Moore came to Chicago
with $l65 in his pocket. He obtained
work as coachman and saved every cent
of his wages. In 1885 he secured EN-.

In 1888 Mr.. Moore secured a patent
for mop which is said to be the best
article of its kind in the world. In the
manufacture of mops it is customary to
make them of one long piece Of twisted
raw wool, which is alternately folded
back and forth and narrow band sewed
across the center at the point where it is
to be doubled over. The breaking of
this band permits the mop to fall apart
In Moore's improved mop all this is OBJ
Waited. In the manufac, ure of the i'm
proved mop, take what is known as ten
strand mop yarn, 80 inches in length and
tie them together at their middles in
punches of s ropes by cord, there be-
ing knot between ch bunch of ropes
until a sufficient number of punches are
| tied together to form mat II inches
wide the punches of rope forming the
same being entirely independent of each
other, SO that in case of breaking of cord
only the bunch at the point where the
cord breaks will be effected. Mr..
Moore has met with unparalleled sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of his
improved mop. From small beginning
in room set apart in his coal house, he
has increased his business until he now
has factory where he turns out mops

by some folks he had friends by the
score, and these friends thought him

such thing as star boarder Lotion
held the position. The best ofthe house
was always given to him, and everyone
about the house thought him to be a
perfect gentleman and treated him as
such. But he has betrayed their trust.

daughter of Mrs. Andrews into his room
and detained her there until some time
after 10 O. CLOCK, the absence Of the child
from her proper place was noted and
search was made for her on the return
of her mother about 10 O'Clock, when
she came out of Lotions room. Her
mother asked where she had been and
what she had been dong, when the little
one told all, and gave evidence ofa Grim
inal assault being made by Lotion. The
mother of the child was paralyzed. She
went to her mother and told her what
had taken place and asked advice. Mrs.
Mink has bad much trouble in this life
and fearing the scandal and worry that
would arise, advised Mrs. Andrews to
make no fuss about the matter until Lof-
ton could be seen. The next day she
saw Lotion and talked with him and he
offered a compromise which Of course
was Indignantly scorned. Lotion SEEM

Mrs. Andrews and her mother were at a
loss what to do, they did not wish to ar

thing should be done. Finally the mat
terleaked out. A friend Of Lotions
