A woman's place in the world is
measured by the space she can fill in
these days, and not estimated by the
most meagre corner in which she can
be crowded away from the light, her
inspiration stitled and her individuality
crushed. Her capacity has grown by
exercise, and men under the stimulat-
ing power of her presence in every
walk of life have been spurred to added
effort. Chicago Graphic

A HOB0KEN DIVE.

Chief Donovan Should Inquire Into this
Arrest at Once.
John McIlhaney, a steamboat fireman
of New Brunswick, arrived at Hoboken
yesterday and at once started in to
have good time. He was we'll sup
piled with money, and about six
o'clock last night he was in
the saloon beneath the insurance office at
Second and River streets. This saloon Is
operated by Mrs. Weber and is notorious
resort. The principal attraction besides
Mrs. Weber are four painted sand pow
dered young women.
McIlhaney spent his money freely and
treated all hands. He gave Mrs. Weber a
$5 bill, and in the change he received was
"a leaden fifty cent piece. He called Mrs.
Weber's attention to it, but she said that
he must be mistaken, McIlnaney was
disposed to be argumentatlve,
and in less time than it
takes to tell it two burly fellows pounced
upon him and threw him violently into
the street. Then one of the bouncers
called an accommodating policeman who
hustled McIlhaney off to the station
house, where he was locked up on
charge of assault and battery.
The saloon kept by Mrs. Weber is a
disgrace to Hoboken, and it seems strange
that the police cannot close it up. Mrs.
Weber has been arrested twice for keep
ing u disorderly house, and she is now
under bail for trial by the Grand Jury.

said. First, because 1t will bring the

second, because it will increase the as

what good would it do? The Supreme
