A Respected Cleveland Woman Proves to
BE Notorious shopiifter.
CLEVELAND, o.. Nov. s-The police
department of Toledo has made an ar
rest which lifts the scales from de-
voted husbands eyes and which will
astonish west side residents of this city.
Word was received here Monday from
Toledo that Mrs Arthur Young
was held there on charge of stealing
pocketbook containing $751; in a mil
merry store in that city. Fer husband
FASTENED TO her assistance and TO
him she denied her guilt. claiming
that IL was another woman whom
she had accompanied to the store
who committed the theft. Her husband
believed her and engaged an attorney
TO defend his wife. Later in the day,
however, his hopes were shattered.
His wife's room was searched and the
pocketbook containing the S1sT was
found concealed beneath the carpet.
Mrs Young turns out To be no less a
parsonage than the notorious Mother
Hubbard" whose sneak-thieving pro-
pensities are known TO the police
throughout the country. Her pic

In many OF the larger cities.
For years she has lived dual
life. While at her home in this city
she appeared To her acquaintance to
he the soul Of honor, and she was
greatly respected. II was noticed,
however. that Mrs. Young often left
home, remainging away for weeks at
time. Nothing strange was thought of
this, however, as 1t was always believed
that she was away visiting friends or
relatives.
The husband was even more deceived
than anyone else. He never dreamed
that all was not we'll with his wife and
thought everything of her. On recent
visit Mother Hubbard" perpetrated
clever job Of pocket-picking at De-
troit, but was caught at IL. In court
she wept, and the judge. taking com
passion on the woman. remitted long
sentence of Imprisonment and imposed
a heavy fine. This she paid after re-
naming in prison a week or SO. She
left the prison and returned 10 this city.
Mr.. and Mrs Young have lived in
Cleveland for several years, their home
being at IA Fulton street, west side
They have enjoyed the highest esteem Of
all who knew them, and 1t Is believed
that Mr.. Young was completely ignor-
ant of his wise's real character.

1t Is Said That Minister Willis Carries
Such Instructions to Hawaii.
ATLANTA, Nov 10,-The Evening Jour-
nal prints a special from Washington
which has this to say in reference to the
Hawaiian question:
ut is announced on good authority
that Willis was sent to Hawaii with in
structions to upset the provisional gov
ernment, and allow the restoration of
the monarchy. The presidents con-
clusions in the matter were based
on the report made by Mr.. Blount.
He holds that an interference by
Stevens and the landing of troops from
the Boston at the time of the revolution
was unjustified. Stevens was United
States minister to a friendly nation and
should not have taken sides. The resto-
ration of the monarchy, Mr.. Cleveland
is said to hold, is matter of justice to
the Hawaiians."

the nearest tree. But it should be re-
membered that every such act is violas
ton of law. The respect for legal aus
thority, the power OF the constituted aus
thorities, the dignity Of the state is put
in contempt every time a mob under
takes to punish criminal by hangman's
justice.
What is the remedy? Simply this:
Let it be understood that the authors
ties will follow up every case OF lynch
ing and will punish ever lyncher. 1t is
disgrace and shame to the fair name
of the southern states, that no instance
can be cited wherein the lynchers have
been punished. Rigid enforcement Of
the law in one case only would have an
effect that would be felt throughout the
whole country. If those who take the
law il to their own hands are made to
feel the terrors of the law, they and all
who know them will have an increased
respect for its power.
But.so long as lynchers go uppunish-
ed, just so long will the south be made
to suffer the stigma of lawlessness, and
every interest shares the burden. Can
we expect that capital will come, that
intelligent settlers will come into reg
ion where mob law rules in any respect?
Certainly not, and so it is We claim that
the first du'y of every good citizen is to
insist upon rigid enforcement of law
against each and every lvncher."
But let all this be accomplished in &C
cord with the most sanguin hope. Let
Iypching cease and the law take the
place of the mob; still every sane man
must admit that so long as rapes occur
communities will be shocked and thrown
into frenzies of excitement The only
remedy for crime is prevention, Gan
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure"
Who can deny that this is tue? Tnen
it is also true that, as Bishop Haygood
says: If the preachers and teachers do
their duty in this particular the crime
would become so rare that lynching
would cease"

IN DEFENSE
A Plea for Bishop Turner's
Proposed Convention.
What is Best for the Negro j
A Reply to "WeSt"
(By 81. r. Jordan)
CONTINUED from last week.

(CODtlnued from last week.
'West' would have it appear, it seems
that the Turner's Convention will mourn
aud bewail the fate of the lynched rap
ist. Nothing could be farther from
the truth. No people under the sun
hate the negro rapist more than the
negroes themselves. The very idea of
social equality is Objectionable to the
intelligent negro, as rule, and it if "a
rule to which, there are but few excep-
tions, In, partial support Of this, let US
remind the gentleman of the loud and
bitter protestation that went up from
the Negroes all over the land when Mr..
Douglass married white lady. In
leaving friend West we notice that his
last expression is the --desire that the
Turner's Convention may prove a
Farce" Now in the name of all that
is holy what good would it do West
or the race at large to have another
"Farce" added to the long list of our
failures We on our part hope that it
may meet in all the dignity that the
learning of the times demand and with
no passion save that which earnest
righteousness envokes. We predict that
no threat will be uttered, that no word
will be spoken to arouse thu yiciousness
of the illiterate Negro and that many
white hearts before unstired will beat in
unison with the long suffering Afro
American. If we ourselves do not live
to see the white harvest of the seed
about to be sowr, shall we for that caus e
pronounce it failure. By no means
The reaper does not always follow hard
upon the heels Of the sower but the time
of gathering comes on nevertheless. In
conclusion Sir: Allow us to say that in
our mind no fair minded man can say
or believe that newspaper editorial is
car able of inf1aming the hearts of the
black man with prejudice against the
whites. The Negro loves the children
Of his ex-master and in many case he
pays frequent calls to the Home house
to do acts of kindness for his ex-owner
The way in which the Negro conducted
himself during the war, the way in
which he strove to support his masters
family to satisfy their wants and FREUD
chip, he must be friendly him self. Let
him remember that intelligence has
always ruled and always will, that social
equality is an eternal impossibility and
should be 80 When the Afro Ameri.
can and the caucasion shall each
decide upon cour g of perfect
honesty and each shall try to do lis
best for the advancement of all, but
each in his respective field, then may
we expect to see the Injustice of Gems
turies up rooted and overturned.
Yours truly.
