Mary Lehlbach is the child's name.
Years ago her father maintained one of
the most prosperous barber shops in the
lower portion of the city. When he and
his wife died Mary went TO live with her
grandfather at No, Coles street. With
out parents watchful eye she soon had
her own way. She consorted with girls
great deal older than she was. Although
only fourteen years old, 1t was common
occurrence for her TO remain away from
home until three and four O'Clock in the
morning at some dance in the low halls
of the city. Patrolman Gaynor, who
knew the child, noticed her on several
occasions aud acquainted her grand
father The grandfather told the police
man that he was unable to DO anything
with the child. A day or two ago Mary
stole dollar bill from her uncl e., and it
was on this charge that she was locked
up this morning.
A SENSATION.
When Court Officer Bob Pearson called
the name of Mary Lenlbach in Court the

plUCKY MRS. EMMA BEssINGER.
A Fresh Clothes Wringer Canvasser Fares
Ill at Her Hands

Ill at Her Hands,
John H. Webb, a canvasser, living at
No. 278 Grove street. met with an ex-
perIence this morning that he will not be
apt to forger. At eleven o'clock he
called upon Mrs. Emma Bessinger, of No.
81 Pine street, and attempted TO sell ner
a clothes wriDger. Mrs. Bessinger told
him that she did not want the
machine, and requested him to
leave her apartments. Webb, however
placed the wringer which he carried on
the table. and started in to make himself
comfortable. He sat down in a
chair and surveyed his surroundings.
"I'd like to board here" said he to Mrs.
Bessinger. He then walked over to
where Mrs. Bessinger was standing and
put his arms around her waist. He also
attempted to kiss her. Mrs.
Bessinger said nothing, but quietly
took red hot curling iron from the stove
and applied it to the fresh canvasser's
lips. The howl that followed
would have done credit to a
Commanche Indian. Mrs Bessinger
then called a policeman and had Webb
arrested. He was taken to the Third
Police Court and Justice Kimmerly fined
him $50.

GLADSTONE Is WISE.
Bg Gable to The United Press.


LONDON, April 10, 1S93.--A deputation
of coal miners from Durham visited
Prime Minister Gladstone today to ex-
press opposition to the enactment OF q
ompulsory eight hour law.
Mr.. Gladstone replied to the deputation
that Parliament never could be compe-
tent Judge of the question. His own
prepossessions on the subject had been
derived from an enlightened statesman
who feared the effect of legislative inter-
terence with adult labor. He regarded
the making of terms between employers
aud employed as the pormal method for
adjusting the hours of labor. 1he work
ers, Mr. Gladstone added, should respect
Individual freedom. Nevertheless, eight
hours a day was long enough, in mis-
opinion, for labor underground.
Hoods Sarsaparilla positively cures even
when all others fail. 1t has a record of sue
cess unequalled by any other medicine.

Carlisle's Financial Policy.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-A financial
plan involving a very complete reorganiza-
ton of the present system of the govern
ment is occupying the serious attention Of
the secretary of the treasury. The full de-
tails have not as yet been announced, but
enough is known to warrant the state
ment that the secretary's plan, which he
will submit to congress next fall, includes
the repeal OF the silver purchasing clause
of the Sherman law, the repeal of the state
bank tax and the issue of state bank cur
rency under the supervision of the nation
n government.

WASHINGToN, March 16. = From early
yesterday morning until l o'clock in the
afternoon Cleveland was kept busy receiv-
ing official visitors and then went into the
east room to shake hands with a large
crowd of people. Among his callers were
a delegation of Episcopal ministers consist
ing of Bishops Paret, of Maryland; Potter,
of New York: Whitaker, of Pennsylvania,
and Hare, of South Dakota. They saw
President Cleveland and Secretary Gresham
in the library of the White House and ex-
planned that their mission was in reference
to the Chinese exclusion law The law, they
said, was extremely harsh and worked in
jury to American interests in China. They
hoped the president would secure some
modification of the act, but had no definite
ideas to advance. Cleveland told the dele
cation that he was to great extent power
less in the matter because he was bound to
carry out the law, but he promised to do
what he could

When the president passed into the hall
after his conference with the bishops, on
his way to his Office, he was waylaid by
several congressman, and stood for quite a
time in the hallway talking to them.
Among these were Senator Roach, of North
Dakota, who came with Judge Benton, OF
his state, an applicant for the commission

Daniel M. Ransdell, marshal for the Dis
trict of Columbia, and one of General
Harrison's most intimate friends. had a

he rendered his resignation informally.

NO POLITICS IN THIS SERVICE.

Light Keepers and Life Savers Need to BE
Highly Kmcient.
WASHINGTON March 1e-Secretary Car
Isle defined his policy yesterday as to ap-
pointments in the lighthouse and life
saving service in the following letter in re-
ply to a request for the removal of two Re
publican lighthouse keepers in New York
harbor to make room for Democrats. ain
reply beg leave to inform you that the
positions for which Mr.. Green and Mr..
Burger apply are not vacant and no cause
for the removal Of the present incumbents
is known. The great number OF light
keepers employed, and their isolated sitha-
tions, prevents anything like constant over
seeing of their work, and a faithful per
formance of their responsible duties, In
volving the safety of the vast amount OF
property and the number of lives entrusted
to their care, depends upon the good char
acter and competency of the keepers thea
selves.
No Removals Except for Csuse.
at has been and is the policy of the dc
partrnent and of the lighthouse, estab-
lishment to encourage and insure a high
standard among them by retaining them
in the service during competency and good
behavior. and by promoting and trans
ferring them TO better stations and rewards
| for good service. Light keepers are held
| to a strict performance OF duty, but unless
some incompetency or neglect on their
part is shown they will not be disturbed in
| their tenure of office. 1t has been the Gus
! tom for many years to regard the lighthouse
! establishment as u non-partisan service.
| 1t is my intention 30 continue that custom
No light keeper will be disturbed by me ia

political opinions

GONE TO INVESTIGATE HAWAII.
Only One Member on the Commission and
His Name Blount.

Only One Member on the Commission and
His Name Biount.
WASHINGTON, March l6.-The selection
of ex-Representative Blount. who left
Tuesday night for San Francisco on his
way to Hawaii, as the agent of this govern
ment to investigate the situation in the
Islands, has caused great deal of gossip
among the public men and officially to
the majority of whom the presidents ac-
ton was n complete surprise. While the
radical annexationists are inclined TO criti-
cize the action the more conservative
members of both parties are more than
pleased that no decisive step is to be taken
until the government is fully informed as
to the exact status of affairs in Hawaii and
the causes which LED to the overthrow Of
the monarchy.
Cleveland Not Yet Satisfied.
The selection of BIouaf indicates that
Cleveland is not yet satisfied that Hawaii
, should be annexed to the United States,
but has not made up his mind 10 oppose it.,
and it is probable that his future course in
the matter will be largely governed by
Blount's report. Blount's mission is a
/, secret one. He will investigate the man
ner IL which the government was over
thrown and whether the present provision
al government actually represents the SEN
timent of the people, regarding which
some OOu DTS are entertainer Dy Tue aOLnlu-
istration.
BIount a Conservative.
: Blount has occupied a conservative posi-
! tion on the annexation of Hawaii ever
i since it was first broached by a secret COM
mission from the island last winter He is
| credited with having suspicion that the
| United States officials might have encour-
| aged the revolution and thereby put them
selves in position to be accused of hav-
| ing part in the establishment of the gov
ernment with which they were now asked
! to treat. Blount, ii is further said, will
| investigate the questions as to how the
! overthrow of L:lioukalani's government
was accomplished: whether or not the pro-
vsional government really represents the
popular sentiment of the islands.
! Only Against Foreign Aggression.
! 1t is further asserted that Blount will in
! form the provisional government that the
! United States will not aid in maintaining
! it against any but foreign aggression. 1t
will not sustain it against any other form
of government the people of the island
may see fit to attempt to establish.
Republican "Chiel" to Take Notes.
/ Representative Hermann dur ing the
! summer proposes to visit Hawaii and per
sonally investigate the condition Of affairs
| on the islands. Hermann says that he pro
poses to do this because the people of the
Pacific slope are very anxious for the an
| nexation of the Sandwich islands, and be-
! cause he thinks ii will be advisable to have
some one on the Republican side of the
house to look into the facts.
