oughly familiar with everything around
these byways. Indeed it may be said
that a majority of the inhabitants OF
| these places have records which can be
found in the police court. Rattlobaag
frame buildings are the rule in most of
these places, but occasionally a small
brick row can be found. All of the
houses are cellarless and therefore
lamp and unhealthful, many of them
containing cesspOols under their ricllety
! floors, from which all kinds of fatal
miasmatic germs ascend, to be breathed
into the lungs and disseminated through
the system.
Poverty and crime dwell together all
too frequently. Poverty is no doubt
many times the cause of crime, while
crime is almost always the precedent Of
poverty. Down by the oyster wharvcs,
described in q recent letter, there are
many of these alleys and courts in
which the poor are huddled. and from
these places enanate the criminals Of
this city in great numbers. They know
and help each other with all the ma
sonry and fraternity of their kind.
These are the razor carriers who cut
and slash their victims upon the slight
est provocation with that most deadly
of all weapons. The highway robjericz

population. To the north of it, extend

Gordon of crime, lasciviousness, lewd-

densely populated with wicked women
as well as criminal men. South of the
great park are the alleys adjoining and
contiguous to the wharveS. extending
clear across to the eastern branch of
the Potomac. 1t is into this section of
the city that the investigator, the homo

Out in the northwest section Of the

was accompanied by the heavy basso of

WAR OF DETERMINATION.

Remarks Made BY Baltimore Colored
Preacher at a Convention of ClerSymen-
BALTIMORE, Md, April 9.-The coll
ored movement denOuncing mob law in
the south has reached Baltimore Some
fifty colored ministers Of all
denominations responded to
call sent out for them to meet
at Bethel church to arrange for
meetings May 81 to protest against the
lynching, shooting and burning of col-
ored people in the south. After some
discussion a committee was appointed
to act on the matter. The committee
submitted a report indorsing the resolu-
ton with the exception that Sunday,
May 20, be the date of the meeting in
place of May 81.
Rev. c. W. MosSel said: IF this
thing cannot be settled amicably it
will then have to be settled with the
sword until one or the other is exter-
minated and the man who is not will
ing TO cast his lot with the other as an
offering on the altar is not worthy of
being called an American citizen"

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, April 9.-Ac-
cording to reports received from points
on the line of the Mexican National
railroad the cattle business is in de
plorable condition. Bones of animals
which have died recently are being put
in huge piles at every station. Stock is
dying of starvation and crops in most
most places are lost for the year. On
the Aqua Dulce river stOckmen are
feeding their cattle on moss and prickly
pear TO save them until rain comes to
make grass. The drouth is the worst
known for many years, and unless rain
is had very soon the damage will be
beyond estimating.

the church together. At the door Mar
garet was met by tall, fine-looking
young man. What. No. Why. yes il
as" he exclaimed to himself, as he saw
them coming IF 1t isn't Dot Hallow-
well and her father-and with mamma,
too! What can it all mean?" John
shook his hand silently, heartily, as
they met. This was no place for ex-
planatiohs, so they fastened to leave
the throng.
There was room for but two in Mar
garet's carriage, so VIII Lyford (for
the young man was none other than
he), gracefully resigned in Hallowelrs S
favor. As for Dorothy and himself,
they much preferred to walk; and so,
when the carriage had passed out OF
sight. they turned their steps toward
Glenmere.
Mutual explanations and mutual for
giveness were the happy results of the
homeward ride OF Margaret and her
husband. 1t was all arranged before
they parted that she should assume her
former position as mistress at Glen
mere. But she had SO many business
affairs to arrange, and so much TO do be-
fore closing up the house, that Saturday
night arrived before Margaret, with
her father and Will Lyford came to
live again at her former home; though
it may be said, by the way, that since
the previous Sunday Will had spent
the most of his time there. His many
years of separation from Dorothy had
made him realize that he was far, very
far from being her brother, and now
that they were brought together again,
he found that his affection for her had
taken a new and deeper turn.
The next day was Easter Sunday.
Dinner having been finished, Hallowell
and his wife strolled out together, and
their steps led toward the front of the
house. Margaret stopped abruptly as
her eyes fell upon the fallen trees AT
first it puzzled her, but suddenly she
remembered and n panied expression
crossed her face. 'Iave it taken away,
John" was all she said.
He caught her to his arms. "Yes,
dear" he said, 1--WE viii bury the past.
To-day shall be my Easter. We will
look to the future and both rejoice in
our resurrection of love"
If just at this moment we could have
looked inside the house, we might have
seen Dorothy and VIII in similar at
titude. Theirs was newborn, not a
resurrected love; but their happiness
was none the greater.
As the years roll on and the holy day
returns, it brings joy and praise into
many hearts. But to none is it day
of greater gladness and thanksgiving
than to the four who always bless the
anniversary of John Hallowell's Easter.

Pauline Luccs's Training school.

Baroness Won Walhofen, better known
by her stage name of Pauline Lucca,
has established an operate training
school in her beautiful villa at Gmun-
den, in upper Austria. A private thea
ter is attached to this villa and during
the summer season, when Gmunden is
thronged with all the great world of
Vienna, the baroness proposes to give
entertainments in behalf of local chari-
ties, at which her proteges will make
their debut AS she is exceedingly
wealthy, her organization of this school
must DC regarded rather as prompted
by love OF art than by any pecuniary
consideration. She has selected the
well-known Viennese basSo. Robert
Muller. as the dramatic teacher and
stage manager. The baroness was q
very warm friend of Emperor Will
liam, who conferred upon her the tito
of court cantatrice. Prince bismarck,
too. was one of her most devoted admir-
ers in days gone by and on one occasion
had himself photographed with her

strange woman. They arose to read
! the psalm and she passed her book To
John. The last verse particularly i'm
pressed him: Il have gone astray like
lost sheep: seek Thy servant; for do
not forget Thy commandments"
Then they resumed their seats and
John ran mis- fingers carelessly through
the leaves of the Look. Suddenly he
started and grew pale The book fell
from his trembling hand. He glanced
quickly at the woman who had passed
it to him, but her hand was raised in
the peaceful attitude of prayer. Doro-
thy picked up the fallen book, ard she,
too, started as she saw on the title page

well, from her husband. Easter, IS"
John was agitated with the desire to
know whether or not this woman by
his side knew anything about his wife.
He went through the service in me-
chaDical sort OF a way. The woman in
black had not thus far allowed her
voice to be heard. Finally they all
knelt for confession, and with wildly
beating heart, Hallowell recognized
tee trembling voice as it said: I'VE
have left undone those things which
we ought to have done; and we have
done those things which we ought not to
have done; and there is no health in us. a"
Oh! the anguish, the longing of his
heart. He could not control himself;
and, still kneeling, he leaned toward
her, and, with stihed sob, whispered:
'Margaret-for-give."
She could not speak; but taking her
hand from the top cf the railing in
front of her. she laid it in that of her
husband This was her only answer;
but John knew its meaning and he
pressed it passionately, tenderly.
The service being finished, they left

NEW TREATY..


A New Extratlition Treaty With Germany
Being Prepared-One That VIII Insure
the Return of American ROgues.
BERLIN, April 9.-Minister Phelps is
making good progress with the new
extradition treaty. The treaties now
existing, made many years ago with the
different governments of the then ex-
listing German Bund," contain many
imperfections, which have led in several
instances to failures of justice. Mr..
Phelps, in conjunction with the Wash
ington government, has been plan
ming for a new treaty ever since
his appointment as minister, bus
the more urgent work on this
pork ordinances delayed attention to
this matter. Last year, however, a case
occurred that showed 50 glaringly the
hnperfections of the present treaty that
Minister Phelps decided to go to work
at once. A man named Hoyt, who had
embeZzled the funds of New York
electric light company, fled to Europe.
He escaped the English police, who
tried to arrest him on board of a
Hamburg steamer, and came on
to Germany, where he was arrest
ed at the request of the Ameri-
can legation. Strong efforts We're
made by the legation to secure his ex-
tradition, but, owing to the fact that
the treaty recognized only the embez-
element of money from the United
States government and not from private
people, the fellow had finally to De re-
leased. He had then the impudence to
apply TO the legation for passport, as
lie could not secure one at Washington
owing to his sudden departure" from
America. Needless TO say that his
modest request was not granted.
This case, added 10 Mr.. Phelps eager
ness to make a new treaty, and the pork
question being out of the way, he gave
his entire attention To this matter.
The new treaty is almost finished. 1t
will contain many important additions
to the present category of extraditable
crimes such as embezzlement. obtaining
money by false pretense, perjury, rape
and crimes committed on the high sea,
like mutiny, etc.
The only point of difference between
Minister Phelps and Baron Won Marchal,
the German secretary of foreign affairs,
is on the question of the provision to be
made for the payment of expenses. The
American idea is that each country
should pay its own expenses.
This is unsatisfactory to Germany.
The foreign office says it has rarely re-
covered Il prisoner from America with
out paying at least $500 and there have
been cases where thousands have been
paid in counsel fees. In Germany, on
the other hand, the duty of secur-
ing the capture and retention of fugi-
tive from justice wanted"
by America devolves upon the
prosecuting officers, and no charge
is made for their services. Hence
the Germans think the present arrange
ment very one-sided. As American law
does not place these duties upon the
prosecuting attorney Germany must
employ counsel and pay fees. The
German officials think, therefore. that
the treaty should make some mutually
satisfactory provision for expenses

BERLIN. April 9.-Near Inowrazlav, n
town of Prussia, province of Posen, DR..
Poninsly, 4 high Polish ecclesiastic,
was waylaid by four men and shot dead,
his body being literally riddled with
bullets fired from the reviewers of the
four men.
A number of villagers pursued the as
sassins and finally brought them to
bay. The assasSins made a desperate
fight against arrest in q locality from
which escape by retreat was not posi-
BILE. Two were soon killed and the
other two committed suicide after a
desperate fight.
The bodies were searched and on each
of them was found red ticket on which
was printed the words: Execution

DR.. Poninsi1y without doubt had, by
his utterances or actions, incurred the
enmity of the anarchists and the four
men were unquestionably appointed by
the central anarchist body 10 murder
