A NUDE COSTUME.
A Mother DepriYes the Stage of Her
 Shapely Daughter.

ShapeIy Daughter.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The stage has been robbed of what might have been at least 8 conspicuous figure by mother who is old-fashioned enough to object to her daughters appearing in the glare of the footlights in tights. Miss May Bennett, pretty girl of Hoboken, re- gently applied to Manager Paulscraft, of the Germania Tneater, for place as chorus girl in a travelling theatrical company.
 Paulscraft interceded with Manager Oppenheimer, of the Fay Foster Bur lesque company, now at the Germania theater, to employ her in the chorus. Oppenheimer consented. Miss Bennett attended full dress rehearsal last Sun day. but did not return the next day, as she had promised.
 It was found that her mother attended the full dress rehearsal and when she saw her daughter on the stage in tights she was shocked.
 "I understood that my daughter was to sing in the chorus, ''said Mrs. Ben nett to Oppenheimer, "but I never thought she would be asked to appear in a nude costume"
 Oppenheimer released Miss Bennett. Her mother says that she will never appear on the stage again.

PEDRO ESCAPES.
An illustration of the Advantages of
 Education.

An illustration of the Advantages of
 Education.
 Pedro Johnson, the Indian student who stole Charlie Genung's horse from Kirkland valley, escaped at Wicken- berg on the night after MT. Genung left here with him for Prescott.
 The first night they stopped at Agua Fria and they reached Wickenberg the second evening in time for supper.
 MT. Genung got careless. He forgot that though his prisoner was an h. dian, he was an Indian who had en- joyed educational advantages. Pedro didn't look as if he knew enough to escape, but all the time his pampered intellect was at work; he was looking for an opportunity.
 It was served along with the supper. MT. Genung rightly conjectured that his prisoner could eat with greater freedom without handcuffs, so he took them off and he has never replaced them. His attention was directed to something beside Pedro for moment and by strange coincidence that hap pened to be the moment Pedro chose for his departure. Nobody has seen anything of him since.

 The speaker alluded to anti Catholic societies and said that they will die out in their own time unless Catholics themselves furnished a pretext for their continuance.
 The frequency with which Catholics are found in the saloon business was deplored. "Now," he said, "the man who is ashamed to beg and too lazy to work opens saloon. It is nice, easy job for man without much self respect"

THE FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE.

II am free, at last,'' the fugitive cries:
For cleft the iron bars.'
On he speeds, like tho hunted stag
And the whirlwind footsteps never lag,
Till daylight hides the stars.
Then he crawls in the byways, white an
starved:
He dare not beg for crumbs:
For he reads the law in every face
He hears the rush of an eager chase.
In every sound that comes.
He starts.-at the laugh of a merry child,
Or a mother softly cooing-
He hears from the branches overhead:
Hanged, by the neck, till he be dead.''
Hark! 'Tis the hounds pursuing!"
He envies the man he slew, tonight:
The gallows ere the tomb.
He thinks Of the mother, who tried to save
Her boy froE. the horrors of grave,
Beneath the gallows' gloom.
The people cry, in wild uproar:
They've caught the boy-'tis well!
The mother steals from the anxious mob,
Her prayer is just one lonely sob:
God save his soul from hell.''
