The three young men who tried to

1t was reported last week that an
other young couple had fallen. The
young man was Of this place-the
young woman Of a distant city, of
whom we know nothing. But if the
charges are true we think it strange
that the young man should fall so low
as to forget his mother and sister, to
say nothing about his associates. And
where is the mother that would treat
the man as they would the woman
pass him by without noticing as tho
he were a dog? But no, society is a
strange thing. With most people
girl is disgraced beyond redemption,
but when they meet the man (who is
the greater sinner it is Mr.. sO-and. so.
) II the charges are false then those
2 starting the report have committed a
] crime by trying to blight the charac-
ter Of Others.

= piece and performer. Suffice 1t to say
that everybody was well pleased. The
band, however, deserves more than a
passing notice. 1t was organized in
1885, with ten or twelve members and
struggled along for sometime without
an instructor and disbanded. After
time it was reorganized, and W. j
