PRETTIER THAN PINKERT0N. TOO.

Are women crowding men out of bust
ness? A discussion Of this important
subject IL now going on in the letter
column on this page, The men seem to
think the women are pushing them out
OF positions; the women declare cmphat-
ically hat they are doing no such harm.
but are taking the places in the ranks
Of wage-earners to which necessity forces
and for which their mental capacities 1T
them.
The discussion In still young. and much
remains to be said on both sides. There
Is no doubt. though, that one woman In
this town Is doing a great deal towards
crowding some men out OF business.
She is a young woman, too, with "A pretty
face and a heaming eye. In the past
week she has knocked nine men o OF
work. And the alarming part of the
situation Is that she Is laying for men
of the same sort to do the same thing
with them.
There IL much bitterness OF feeling
among the men who have been done
up" by this young lady, and as they sit
in jail playing with their Adams apples,
they feel the rabidest kind Of resentment
ranking In their bosoms against the fair
sex In general and their fair disturber
In particular. The young lady belongs
to the celebrated Sleuth family. She's n
Sleuthess. She wears no SLOUGH hat or
heavy tragedian's entry cloak, but she
gets there all the same.
She sleuths for a Broadway novelty
house. Her record OF capturing nine
thieves In one week should make old
Vidocq crawl to the door of his tomb
and peep out to see what Is going on.
Perhaps after the rush of the holiday
season Is over this young lady will give
private lessons to some of Inspector
McL.aughlin's sleuths. She catches on"
splendidly, but she hasn't caught the
right man yet. for she is not married.

sire Of the citizens for his retention. lie

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Within a few hours the drop scene
will fall on the performances of 1898 In
LIES Theatre. and the curtain VIII rise
on those Of 1894. Whatever the plays we
have witnessed or in which We have
taken part during the last year, whether
tragedy or comedy. drama or farce.
they are ended now and the scenes can
not be enacted over again.
There Is no good reason to feel dis
satisfied with the year about to close.
1t has treated us fairly well on this
side OF the Atlantic Ocean, and, indeed. 1t
has not been very hard with any portion
OF the civilized world. There have been
no great, devastating wars to gather In
the lead and infict wounds on the
hearts OF the living. The pestilence.
which seemed to threaten Europe and
extend Its shadow over America, has
been merciful in its vlsltations. All
countries have had their financial diff
~culties. but they might have been worse
thar they have been.
Perpetual sunshine Is n thing unknown,
and we have had some cloudy weather
and occasional storms since we stood be-
side the grave of 1892. But nothing has
occurred to check the onward rogress
of the United States. and republican
government based on equality of rights
Is stronger than ever In the affections OF
the people and safer than ever in their
intelligence and constancy.

NO POLICE INDICTMENTS.

The Extraordinary Grand Jury yester-
day refused TO indict Inspector Williams
and Capt. Schmittberger or the com
plants made against those officers by DR.,
Parkhurst and his agents. The report
handed to Judge Barrett gives as the
reason the fact that the evidence was
not sufficiently clear to warrant an In
dictment, but the Grand Jury desires at
the same time to impress upon the Po-
lice Department the duty that lies upon
1t to use every effort to suppress vice,
and suggests that with such an object
in view the officials OF the Department
should cooperate as far as possible with
the Society for the Prevention OF Crime.
The Evening World' showed yes
terday the need OF a revision OF the laws
and a clearer definition OF the powers
and duties OF the police In the suppress
sion of disorderly houses. The result of
the Grand Jury's Inquiries ~sustains the
position of the THE Evening World"
There Is no doubt OF the existence OF
such places In the precincts named by
DR.. Psrkhurst, but the question was as
The evening world., 1893-12-30
to the extent to which the police can and

to the extent to which the police can and
ought to 10 in suppressing them.
Common sense suggests that coop
Grafton between the police and "A society
such as that OF which Dr. Parkhurst Is
the head would be effective In suppress
ing vice. But there does not seem to be
any disposition on the part OF the Society
TO trust the police, and an antagonism
has arisen between the two. for which
probably both are in a degree to blame.
DR.. Parkhurst's energy in his work Is
not TO be censurcd. but there are other
duties to be performed by police officers
than that OF suppressing disordcrly
houses, and such fearless. resolutc and
efficient officers ~ Inspector Williams
and Capt. Slevin. who have time and
again risked their lives In putting down
rufhanism and crime and bringing
thieves and murdercrs to justice, have
a strong claim on the confidence OF the
