1t would take a large volume to mar
rate the details OF the many ugly Incl
dents affecting the morality OF this COM
munity, in which this high-p placed
scoundrel has figured as the predomin-
ating spirit OF evil. Rivera of tears
have been shed, hearts broken, and
promising girlish careers blasted by con-
tact with this human brute, whose
moral attributes would shame even
Frankenstein's monster. and which are
laid on such vile and infamous lines
that even the bawdy wind that kisses
all 1t meets would stop the nose at. For
time this man had charge OF
a building in well-known location,
and this was an opportunity to give
rant play to his sensual faculties. 1t
WAS not long until he had converted the
place into harem, in which be figured

enticed young girls scarcely III their
teens, and then in turn were used as de-
coys to draw other victims into the dark
cave of this deviliish, who waited,
coldly calculating and insidious with all
the ignohle genius OF q postmaster in
the arts of seduction until he could
weave his fearful Vaccinations around
some unsuspecting girl. still, mayhap,
in short dresses. AS the harem in
creased in the number OF its regular and
transtory habitues, it became the scene
OF orgies moot bestial that would bring
crimson blush to the cheek of the most
hardened harlot. At length the owner
of the building became aware of the in
famous purposes to which it had been
prostituted and it underwent q moral
disiniection. The case OF the two young
girls in public Office who were secri-
feed is story that has been often told.
The time is approaching when this arch
seducer will be dragged out of his shell
OF hypocrisy and exposed in all of his
most supsrbuman wickednesa to the
eyes OF all virtuous women and God
fearing men.
