The business of registering and triplicate

an end to the personation frauds so preva-

tracing when studied In parallel columns.
The London Chronicle does not spare US in
scathing condemnation. at least OF the capl-
talist class. "Hordes of vulgar office-ssekers
have" 1t saws, ''been permitted to fatten on
the public BODY; great cities are given over
to men who ought to be in prison, and mil.
lions on millions of acres of public lands are
given with light heart to railway corpora
tons which now threaten to strange the
republic in their octopus-like grasp. This
is the real, practical anarehsm which ruins
states, compared with which the anarchism
OF handful of desperate fanatics is almost
innocuous." This is not idle fitting at wind
mills. California can take to heart some of
this journalistic truth.
A correspondent of THE CALI, in Enc.

of his country, thus describes the situation

become out-and-out Tory. and, in stead of
supporting Liberal measures as they
used to do, utterly oppose or run
down every measure proposed or adj
vocated by Liberal statesmen. The
reason OF this is that the proprietors
of those newspapers fear that the march of
reform has become too rapid, and now that
every wOrkingman has vote they imag-
Inc that the numerous privileges of the rich
may be swept away. What is called the

IN CONSTANT FEAR.

Insults and Attempted Assaults on Un-
protected Women.
NORTH ATTLEBoRo, Dec. 7-Womsn in
the Attleboros have been in con st ant
state of fright for the past two weeks. ss-

that kept them out late at night, and
who have had to walk dark streets to
reach their homes.
The cause 10 an unknown rascal, who
seems TO spend the majority of his time
following unprotected women, and not
only insulting them, but attempting, n
all stories are true, to assault them.
Scores of cases have been brought to the
notice of the officials in Attleboro, and
they have been particularly numerous
during the last week.
This unknown rascal evidently changes
his operations from Attleboro to this
town occasionally, aud is without doubt
the same person who practises peeping in
the windows of the apartments OF wo-
men. Two young ladies In particular
have been the objects of this mans at
tention, and the thing has become such =
common occurrence Hs to cause several
small chastising parties to be organized
for his capture.

An Unique Undertaking.

ON Monday Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week, Calender, McAuslan a Troup Co will In
augurate the supreme novelty OF a grand free
exhibition Of luxurious Oriental art and magnin-
cenCe.
Some seven eight months ago, The Syndicate
Trading Go Of New York City, Of whio h Calender,
McAuslan Tronp Co. are members, sent one OF
the very best rug experts In this country over TO
Constantinople and all through Persia Turkey
Afghanistan, India and In fact all over Turkey
Europe and the Orient In search OF the incest
choicest and finest rugs and carpets that could be
found In the most famous rug countries in the
world. He had unlimited capital behind him
Time also was unlimited.

and European buyers Il ninety days from New
York or London back To New York or London

than ever before male by foreign buyer In the far
away and sacred cast.
The result was an invoice of sI35. 900 90 OF the
hnest richest. most royal and largest collection
OF genuine antique Oriental rugs and carpets that
came out of the port OF Constantinople at one
time or ever came into the Custom House at New
York.
The stock has been fairly divided pro rat, be-
tween the eleven large firms compr sing the syndl
cate Trading Co. Each lot Is To be sold at auction

September.
The for this method is evident I'm the nd.

none OF the stores would consider for a minute the
idea OF carrying continually I'm stock ten or fteen
thousand dollars worth OF these magnificent ana
valuable rugs and carpets but In this way they give
their patrons once a year all the advantag - and
the opportunity To select from "a stock OF SIa5oO 40
