A Score of Them Make Raid ON the
City-Their Methods.
Last night two malodorOus. dissoute
characters were arrested on Fourth street
BY Officer Mccarthy. Against one he pre-
ferred the charge of begging, and the other
was arrested for drunkenness. This pair is
the first of gang of Il score or more of beg
gars and petty-larceny thieves that the
Police Department were informed had come
to this city from Washington and Oregon.
When arrested they were prosecuting their
III odes of gaining livelihood and two cti-
Gems had to resort to physical force to elude
their opportunities.
At the Southern Station they were put
into separate cells facing each other and
about eight feet apart. This did not hinder
them making exchanges of cigarettes and
matches, which they did by swinging a coat
across the passage from one side to be
caught by the occupant of the cell on the
other side. This is said to be trick Of jail
life never before practiced in this city.

DANGERS OF THE STREET.
Rev. John Gray Enumerates Some of the
Most RrnIninent.

Most Prominent.
Rev. John Gray, rector Of the Church of
the Advent, the services of which are now
held in Metropolitan Temple spoke to a
large congregation last night an " Dangers
of the Street" SIN this practical age"
said he, "our children are greatly educated
by object lessons, The object lessons of the
street are very frequently of incalculable in
jury to them. 1t is not right that pictures or
statues of nude subjects should be exhibited
in shop windows. Nothing is so calculated
to blunt the moral sense of the young as the
vile pictures of the illustrated weekly pie
torials so openly displayed. The pictures
are even more i'm raj than the stories. II
this city was a city of homes and not of
boarding houses the young of both sexes
would not use the streets for Fairgrounds
and pass most Of their time promenading up
and down hearny and Market streets.
Much harm results from informal acQuaint-
anees there formed. If there were
more homes there would be less i'm
morality. 1t IS hard TO suggest cure
for this curious way of making friends. But
all those licentious beings called statues
should be made to feel the force of public
opinion. Another danger is the filthy, OBJ
scene language so freely heard on the
streets. The foul -mouthed beings who use
it should be arrested. As to the saloon and
gambling dangers, they are questions by
themselves and are Immediately ameaable
to the law. Shameful vice IS rampant in
the city, and the young, nflamed by the
licentious pictures | Lave spoken Of, fail an
easy prey to the vicious inmates of these
open, Haunting dens. A strong crusade
should be commenced against all the above
named evils.
Il notice that there is bill before the
Legislature to allow girls Of 10 years of age
to contract marriage, and | think this is
meant in some measure 10 cOunteract the
deep undercurrent OF lecherous Immortality.
Now Is the time Tor tine new city govern
ment to cleanse the streets of the dangers l
have named"
