AGE NO DRAWBACK.
Youth is Not Essential to Wicked
ness

The case of Nellie Bradshaw and Cathe-
rine Stewart, charged with stealing S15
from Constant Evan, sailor, was called
IN the recorders court yesterday morn
ing. Nellie Bradshaw is white woman
and Catherine Stewart is dark mulatto.
They are inmates of a house back of Gas
house hill. Evan is an old, shrivelled up
and ignorant Frenchman. In his native
country he would be called a sans-culotte.
Last Wednesday afternoon he left his
ship and went to the house on Gashouse
hill. Some time afterward he was set
upon by the women and knocked down
and robbed of his money.
Evans statement in court was made
through the medium of an interpre er, as
he could not speak English. He pointed
out the Stewart woman as his assailant.
His testimony was corroborated by
several colored witnesses. 1t was proven
that the Bradshaw woman had no part in
the robbery, but only received
some of the stolen money She
was released, but Catharine Stewart was
turned over to the city court for larceny.
She will go to the court after serving
thirty days on the chain-gang for disor-
derby conduct on the same day she was
arrested Tor robbing Evan. The inter-
prefer explained that the old fellow had
800 franks, or about S12, when he arrived
in port, and not cent remains to him.

TAKEN ON SUSPICION.
A Negro Arrested as Supposed Purse
Snatcher.

Andrew jackson, gingercake colored
young fellow, was arrested by Mounted
Officer Murphy at Whitaker and Hunt
ingdon streets early last night on the
suspicion of being one of the pocket-book
snatchers.
jackson was noticed by the officer act
ing in suspicious manner, hiding be-
mind the boxes and apparently lying in
wait for some one. He ordered jackson
10 leave. which he did. The officer no
iced however, that Jackson re-
turned to the same locality and
ontinued his suspicious actions. He then
placed the man under arrest and brought
him to the barracks.
If any of the ladies who have been so
unceremoniously robbed of their pocket
books in the southern part of the city can
identify jackson as the man who robbed
them he viii hardly have an opportunity
of continuing his work soon.

Close observers testify that the feast Of
st. Nicholas, which falls up Dec g. is
more distinctly characteristic of the SlaV
than OF the German race. The Germans
regard it merely as a prologue to the
great children's festival Of the year To
the Austrian S!ay the feast of st. Nicho-
las is a great holiday revel, and royalty
do they celebrate it, There are prayers
in the morning and revels later. In the
afternoon number of youths gather to

The good children are exempt from
their interference, but the ounces are at
