 NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-''Get up and give d account of yourself" said quiet looking man in citizens dress to a one legged young fellow that sat with his back against the Forty second street wall of the old Fifth avenue reservoir and held out his battered felt hat to every passerby. The young fellow did not realize that he had fallen in with the one man in New York that he least desired to see, the chief beggar detective of the Charity Organiza- tion society. But he realized that the other spoke with authority, and without a word of protest hc rose and leaned upon his crutch. He was tall, well made youth of less than g, with handsome, sensitive face, conspicuous for a strong, straight nose and full. well cut lips.
 Bcggnr Detectives.
 The few bCggar detectives in New York arc all employed by the Charity Organiza- ton society. They have the laws and or dinanccs touching beggary at their finger ends, and they know every one of the citys permanent mcndicant population. IL is the business of these men as far as possible to protect soft hearted persons from imposition by professional bcggars by clearing the streets of all such as arc not shielded by what is in effect the city $ license to beg, and it is the further duty of the beggar detectives to investigate ev- cry mCndicant that seems deserving and to rescue him from the plight into which he has fallen. The police give themselves small concern as to bcggars and gladly sec all responsibility in the matter assumed by the beggar detectives.
 As the one legged bcggar and the detect i've stood face to face the latter took out u tiny notebook and put the young man through a brief catechism. His eyes winccd and his lips trcmbled as question after question was asked, but he answered without hesitation. His story was that

As an old baseball crank, am glad to see
that Baltimore has paper that takes a lively

in proposing benefit performance. The
boys deserve it, and they should have it.
They deserve unstinted praise for the work
they have done this season. am glad to see
that the pennant is likely to come to Mary

their work is appreciated when they return

A very fair audience saw The
Cricket on the Hearth" Wednesday
evening. The play hardly reached
expectations. Since the above was
put in type the following letter has
been received:
This clever little artist supported by John
Doud and a well-balanced company, pro-
duced the beautiful! Christmas story, 1.-THE
Cricket on the Hearth" at Whites Opera
House Wednesday evening to an audience
Of good proportions.
The action of the piece was greatly handi-
capped by the small stage. but nevertheless
the audience acknowledged their appreciation
by liberal applause.
Miss Weems is winsome little lady and
her work was of a pleasing order.
The specialties of Miss Canning drew forth
rounds of applause. Messrs. German and
Parker deserve special mention. They dis
played their abilities admirably.
Inasmuch as this is Miss Weems' first
starring tour, she is making decided hit,
and under the direction of such an able
manager as James H. Alliger, her success is
an assured fact. J. M. MoRRELL.

Correction.


1t is generally too late to correct
errors occurring in preceding issues,
but the last paragraph of the JOUR-
NAILS "leader," Sept. Is, was so grossly
marred by an omission of four words
that it is actually necessary to repro
duce it as it should have read, in order
that any who may have noticed the
hiatus will be able to interpret it:
How plain it is, too, that no matter how
ostentatious the benefits" may be, they are,
after all, the mere gildings with which stim-
ulation touches up transient conditions to
fool short-sighted economists with the notion
that all is gold that cutters, and that perma-
nent prosperity must be founded upon artific.
lal, not natural conditions.

of City Trustees. After referring the ap-
plication for license to retail liquor to
the Chief of Police, and receiving his
emphatic disapproval in a report brim
full of good reasoning, the board cooliy
granted the license, without giving reply
to one of the objections of the officer, and
at once referred another and similar ap-
plication to the Chief If the board had
set about to snub that official and treat
him with deliberate contempt, it could
not have succeeded better. OF course the
Chief of Police being a man without
feeling, and having no sensibility
regarding cavalier treatment, will
go right on and report upon the
second application, even if there are
twenty saloons in the same block. He
will, of course, being man of no pride
and caring nothing whatever for the dig
nifty of his Office, take this sort of treat
ment as he would a sugar-coated pill and
cry for "More!" The board is entitled to
the palm for GOODNESS, and likewise for
the admirable plan it has adopted of
standing behind and sustaining the ex-
ecutive officials of the city.

AT Redlands a discovery has been
made that a certain fruit packing firm
has been shipping East under misleading
labels and in manner calculated to de-
ceive, a large quantity of frosted oranges,
oranges covered with black scale, and
otherwise bad. OF course such procedure
is calculated to greatly injure the reputa-
ton of California brands, and if per-
sisted in will entail fearful injury. In
fact the damage these shipments will do
to the California trade may be so great
that it will count up into the millions,
and it may take years to undo the mis-
chief. The Redlands Board of Trade has,
with commendable spirit, passed resolu-
tions condemning the shipments and the
practice OF the shippers, and will as
widely as possible distribute the resolu-
tons throughout the East. The press of
the State should aid the Redlands cham
ber in the circulation of its timely pro-
test and condemnation. A full account
of the fraudulent practices and of the
action taken by the chamber will be
found in the Citrograph of the 24th inst.
