TEN on Second Avenue, New York, passed
the severe test most satisfactorily. On Janu-

their schedule trips, although the horse cars
on the same line were running on half time
very trying days, and although foot of snow
fell on the intervening night the cars had no
difficulty in keeping up to their schedule. A
very important feature Of one of the latest
storage traction systems is that the car is no
heavier than the ordinary motor car, the bat
teries being able TO give greater return in
power for the size of the generators than the
trolley, as the charging is more regular;
there were no long stretches of trolley wires
and feeders to waste power and no leakages

Chicago, at the Columbian Exposition, visit

the visitors bad satisfactory evidence, from

The European nations are beginning to
droop and totter beneath the ever-accumu-
lating burden OF military expenditure. There
is hardly 3 country among them that Is not
at the present moment struggling desperately
to choke the deficit which is staring 1t in
the face. In England Sir William Harcourt Is
fye million pounds (s25, ,oo0. .000) short, which
must be provided for by new taxation. The
Indian Empire Is proposing to tax all imports
except cotton eve per cent ad valorem, to
meet It's deficit, besides adopting other e1pe-
dients unpopular but necessary. In France
there 10 . deficit of nearly $50, 900 600, about
half Of which 1t Is proposed to cover by re-
funding OF loans at q lower rate OF interest,
and the remaining half is to be obtained by
increased taxation on incomes and spirits,
with taxes on succession duties. In Italy, the
new finance minister frankly admits the exist
euce Of a deficit of about $50 ,00O, 600, TO be
met no one knows how. The country cannot
bear increased taxation, and the chances OF
any minister who ventured to propose serious
retrcnchment and the disbanding OF surplus
employees would be practically worthless.

The Destruction Along the North Sea
Coast Greater Than Supposed
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 24-The storm news

EMBEzzLER GOT Ss75,OOO.

A Detective Located Him but Became
Friendly and DIdn't Reveal His Name.
SEATTLE, Washn, Dec 2A=An alleged
EN- bezzler from one of the Oldest banks
IN bloomington, Ill, has been run down
by A PInkertOn detective here but the
detective suddenly disappeared after he
became friendly with the alleged em0ez-
zier without even giving the latters
name The detective gave his name
arriving in this city two weeks ago a j.
H. Brooks, but told certain people his
name was William Bell. He was very
anxious to have it understood he was not
working for the PinkertOn Bros. detective
agency.
According to his story, one of the
Oldest and most trusted employees of
Bloomington (IIla) bank, which is d
branch of Chicago Institution. asked
for vacation and went to Yankton, 5.
D., and there applied for an extension of
time and came 10 the coast. His books
were examined He was $375,O0O short.
The case was put In the hands or the
Alien o. T Inkerton agency and Brooks
started out to run his man down. He
trailed him to Kansas City, Ogden,
Butte, Portland and finally TO Seattle,
where he was living under the
name of Walker Brooks after
arriving here claimed to locate his man
and got confession from him that he
had $4,000 sewed up in the lining Of
his coat He said he did not want to
return but would settle if the bank
would give him $4,000 that was owing
to him. Extradition papers were made
out but the matter was kept from the
police because of the danger Of their
arresting the man and spelling the
chance of a recovery Of the money.
Suddenly the detective became
friendly with the alleged embez-
zler and commenced avoiding the
attorney. Then Brooks became involved
with d woman, and after a trip into the
a train for san Francisco, and the next
day the two men followed by steamer.
So far as can be learned nothing has
been done to settle the affair with the
bank Brooks never let any one see the
alleged eIn bezzler. 50 1t is not known
who nor where he IS.

asked "Only ignorance of humanity
could doubt 1t. The men and WOme n
who allow social caste TO separate them
do worse than sell their birthright for a
mess of pottage. Woman's keen sense
moral laws, is not fair expression of
human nature.
st is the resistIess expression of the
inheritance of centuries Of brutal pun
ishment that the superior muscle of man
has inflicted on her. Hence Trilby's
final sense OF shame. The roots OF the
social evil are found in evil environment.
Take the case of TriIby. Her moth or
was a barmaid."
Dr. Dixon gave this sharp rap to re-
formers.
In several of our nearby cities at this
time crusades have been organized
against fallen women. The promoters are
stupid schemers who think they are fol-
lowing in the lead of DIR. ParkhursL
Nothing could be more absurd DR..
Parkhurst never waged war on the un
fortunate but tried to rescue them from

There are $4,000 unfortunates in this
city today and if you could rescue or re-
form or drive away every one tomorrow
in less than years time they would be

Simply because while there are $4,000
