THE OTHER DOOR.

AT last everything is put in order,
and we are established in our new
home. Dear me, try as L will, l find
il impossible to become used to it.
You see, we, that is, father, mother,
sister and I, have always lived in the
little village of b. Father had been
preacher there long before ever l
was born. All my friends, pleasures,
in fact, all things concerning me, were
centered in that dearly beloved viii
lage.
All of a sudden father is offered n
more lucrative position in New York
and without hesitation we pack up our
things and leave the home of our
childhood, with many vain sighs and
tears, on my part, at least.
The weather has been so lnclement
since we have lived in the city, and
today has been one of those days that
puts a damper on the brightest of
spirits.

provoking to me. can stand it no
longer. l put on my hat and mackin-
tosh and tell Eunice 1 am going to the
store to purchase some floss for my
fancy work.
After shouting at her several times,
Isucceed in rousing her from her book,
and she tells me in a dreamy manner
it is too late to be out on the street
alone. She does not, however, offer
to accompany me.
But L do not mind, for am per-
fectly confident that know the way,
so brave the drizzling rain and the
foggy atmosphere in better spirits than
have experienced all day.

purchased and trudge back again to-

but this only serves to make me feel
rather adventursome and l hasten
along as best l can.

off my macintosh and rubbers, and
then the dining-room door opens and
somebody stalks into the hail whistl-

at home. 1t is not papa, for papa Is
not so tall as this person. Who can it
be? Why, the man turns up the gas,
then he secs me, and We both stare at
each other.

what are You doing heref"
He smiles: through all my astonish-

a very pleasant smile.

WANT TO INITIATE PARIS.
A License System Sought for Boston
Houses of I'll Fame

BOSTON, Sept. 27, 1894.-A "Landladies'
Union," the purpose of which is to secure
a system of municipal license and inspec-
tion for disorderly houses in Boston, was
organized yesterday afternoon. The meet
ing was attended by 23 women who be-
fore the police closed them out kept re-
sorts in the city.
Resolutions were adopted that this il
licit traffic has not been suppressed, but
transferred to other localities. and that
many girls formally protected by the land
ladies are now destitute, homeless and
sick. A committee to las the petition of
the Union before the Board of Police
was appointed. The call to the meeting
contains this significant Item
There is $5,000000 year in this busi-
ness in Boston. Who is going to con-
troll it?''
But, however the money question may
enter into the scheme, the women claim
that if they carry their point they will
be public benefactors. 1t was estimated
that there were not less than 5000 girls
in the resorts of Boston at the time they
were closed out on a twenty-four-hour
claims that so many women in a desper-
ate condition, without money and with
out ambition to secure it through reput-
able efforts, have been a great menace
to the morals of Boston. Today many of
the girls have left the city, but most of
them are wandering around the streets
sick and half-starved.
The members of the union say that
they are going to petition for a sort of
pay a fair license, and go by official

THE COMING CYCLONE.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 1S94.-Reports
received by the United States Weather
Bureau this morning show that the hur-
ricane now prevailing in the South is in
creasing in force and slowly but surely
moving northward 1t is believed that it
will reach this vicinity either tonight or
tomorrow morning.
The storm centre today is along the
coast of the Carolinas, the lowest baro-
metre being at Charleston. 1t extends
over an area with radius of almost 1860
miles and is moving northeast. It's travel
however, is slow, its centre having chang
ed but little in the past twelve hours,
The velocity of the wind in the region
of the hurricane varies from forty to
seventy miles an hour. 1t is accompanied
with rain.
Mr. Dunn, speaking of it, said this
morning:-'I never before heard of such
a rainfall as they have had in Jackson
vile. 1t is unequalled by any hurri-
cane I have ever known of along this
coast. In that city 1852 inches fell in
thirty-six hours. Last week we had 5
inches in forty-eight and We're flooded
A large number of ships are lying at
anchor about the Liberty Statue and
down in the Lower Bay awaiting the
passage of the storm before sailing. The
violence of the gale is so great that skip
pers fear to risk their vessels out at sea.
Mr. Dunn said that the ocean steam
ships going east from here yesterday
would escape it, but that those sailing
from European ports at the same time
for this side would run into it.

CHOKHD THE mail.
Over Two Thousand Letters
Stopped in the Davidson
Building Chute.

For the past few days the lawyers
in the Davidson Building have been wor-
ried over what they believed to be the
negligence of the local post office em-
ployes. L etters mailed two weeks ago
yesterday had not been delivered and the
cause of the delay was not discovered
until this afternoon, when the engineer
of the building found the mail chute in
the building choked with letters, many
of which were important, being marked
sin haste" When matters were finally
set straight the two weeks mail Of the
building gave the letter carrier. who
dropped in as the chute was cleared, a
load which filed his bag fun to over
flowing. Messrs. Hudspeth and Puster
and Lawyer Robert Carey claim that
they lost considerable money on account
of the delay of the mail. A suit for
damages against the owners of the build-
ing is talked of.

There will be started inside of three
months in this town an industry which
will be, when completed, one of the larg-

Glueck of Cleveland. They have secured
their charter and will begin to make inl-
provements and repair the old mill of the

erdale, which was burned in 1899.
The mill is 275 by rs, and formerly had
capacity of 225 looms A new mill
will be built, 120 by so, in the rear of the
present one. Their purchase also in

INDIANS AT PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

WASHINGTON. Sept. q, 1Ss4--The In
dian Bureau has at last made successful
its plan to have Indian children attend
the public schools in the localities where
they reside. This brings them in direct
association with the white children in the
public schools. The work of inducing the
Indians to attend the schools has been
going on for the past eight months or
more, and the number has increased very
rapidly.
There are now about 700 Indian children
in the public schools, and at the Indian
Bureau, it is said, the number will be
more than one thousand by the first OF
January. The Indians who attend these
schools do not generally live on reserya-
tions. The new policy adopted by the bu-
reau, it is said, will result in an inn
mense saving to the reservation.
General Armstrong, the acting commits
sioner of Indian affairs, in speaking OF
the matter today, said that he considered
educating Indian children in the public
school the only solution of the indian
educational problem, and that in a short
time the great majority of Indian chill
dren would be. taught in these schools.
"Then,' he said, .you may look for a
great improvement in their condition"

power If the Government should again

of Parliament, Mr.. Chamberlain believed
it would cause split in the party.
Mr. Chamberlain also said he had re-

continued esteem, and that the ex-Lead-
er's personal friendship for him had not
been broken or lessened. He had visited
Mr.. Gladstone recently, and had found his
charm of character and grand personality
finer than ever.

THE BEST POLICEMAN.


Many people are in the habit of COM
plaing bitterly of the intrusion of the
newspaper reporter into every nook and
corner of the State, and even into the
privacy of home; but in this extreme
publicity is really to be found new
means of social Industrial and govern
mental reform and progress: There are
many e&aggerat tions, perversions and in
accuraeies in this publicity but on the
whole 1t is ibeneficent and new
agency for the promotion of the public
welfare. Publicity exposes not only
wickedness, but also folly and bad
judgment. 1t makes crime and polit-
ical corruption more difficult and far
less attractive. The forger, burglar and
corruptionist need secrecy for two
reasons-first, that they may succeed in
their crimes; and secondly, that they
may enjoy the fruits of their wickedness.
The most callous sinner finds it hard to
enjoy the product of his sin, II he
knows that everybody knows how he
came by it.. No good cause ever suffered
from publicity-no bad cause but in
stinctively avoids it.. So new is this force
in the world that many people DO not

Rurnors' o a ssm oral Re form League''
to BE Started Here by Ministers.


There is movement on foot among
the ministers of the city to organize a
permanent Moral Reform League"
The principal ones interested in the or
ganizatien of the league are Rev. Edwin
MacMinn of the Summit avenue Baptist
Church, Rev. James A. Parker of the
Second United Presbyterian Church on
Hancock avenue, and Rev. r. H. Wicks
of the Wayne street Reformed Church.
Nothing definite has been done as yet,
but they expect to have the league or
ganized by the latter part of next month.
Rev. Mr.. Parker told a Jersey City
News" reporter that the object of the
league was to see that the laws of the
city were more rigidly enforced. He said
that the police allowed baseball playing
on Sunday, saloonkeepers to keep their
family entrances open to both members
of the family and strangers alike, and
other violations of the law almost in
Vulnerable. He further said that when
the league was fully organized it intend
ed to do some Lexow Committee work.
The league, Mr.. MacMinn says will
be non-partisan and non-sectarian. 1t
is for the sole purpose of enforcing the
laws of the city, and has no connection
whatever with the old Moral Reform
League.
