Day Nursery.

At this season of the year when there is
such a demand for WORKING women to assist
in the spring cleaning of the households. We
would again call attention to the Day
Nursery at Sc Oak street. Here at the low
price of ten cents a.day, or fifteen cents
where there are two children from ono
family. :he little ones can receive food and
care, while the mother is away from home.
Itwould seem to be privilege which should
be more generally availed of since it means
less than the price of one hours work to
the mothers. to be relieved Of all care of
her baby or little one during the day. No
danger of setting themselves on IRE: sure
of warmth. good food and care. Contrast
this with the practice of some women. of
locking the children into the room during
an absence of some hours trusting to a
neighbor who has her own cares ito mind
them once in while.''
The W. G. 7. U. have secured new
matron. who was most heartily recon-
mended by the ladies of st. Luke's. and

TOOK HER TO THE Aims HOUSE.
The Little Girl Protests and the Neigh
bors Did Too-But the Facts Show That
They We're All in the Wrong and the
Police Are Not So Cruel After All.

Yesterday forenoon, ON Myrtle street,
opposite the police station, there was
a loud outcry that around the neigh
borhood little girl about Z or years
of age, was protesting vigorously against
being put into carriage by two men
and taken to the almshouse. She de-
clared that she had an aunt to whom
she could go and made good deal of
disturba The people who live close
by, came out and felt and expressed a
good deal of sympathy for the little
girl. who was well dressed and well ap-
pearing. The two men were superinten-
dent Roberts of the almshouse and Off
GER Frank Merrill.
Mr. S. A Stone, who lives close by, was
good deal worked up over the matter
and made protest against taking the
girl away against her wishes. He said
among other things something about its
making his blood run cold at the way
the police officers treated children. This
that he presumed that the police officer
knew ms much about the matter as Mr..
Stone did. There were other words and
some excitement
Later, MIR. Stone saw Marshal Trickey
about it and the latter kexplained. that
the little girl vas Iva f. Mitchell, daugh-
ter OF Mrs. Annie Mitchell. who had been
aIraigned before Judge Robinson that
morning on tine charge of robbing Ed
ward eastman. and had been bound over
and taken to Jail in default of bail.
The little girl who is eight years old to-
day, passed the night in. the police sta
tion with her mother. She was being
taken to the salmshouse to be taken care
of till today when Judge Robinson
would decide about sending her to the
Industrial School. AS Officer Merrill said,
they certainly knew as much about the
case in the police station rs anyone else,
for Marshal Trickey proceeded to tell Mr..
Stone that the little girl had been living
in low dive that had been raided by
the police several times, that on one ol
these raids they had found the little CIR
in the same bed with drunken man.
that her mother had admitted the fact
that her aunt to whom she wanted te
go, was the same kind of woman as hel
mother. and despite the little girls nat
ural protests, it was better to send hel
to the almshoase, pending the considera
tion as to the sending her to the Indus
trial School, the best thing that could be
done for her.
The above incident is related not only
because it is an interesting and signifi.
can't glimpse sof real life, but because il
serves to show that the people are fire..
quently mistaken (and honestly so, as
to the actions of police officers, and dc
not seem to realize that they are men
with human sympathies, just like Other
people. Although sometimes they may
seem harsh, their constant contact
with the Iaw-breaking portion of the
community, and their extensive knowl
edge of those people, makes them fan
wiser in their treatment of them than
anyone else could possibly be.

STOLE THREE GOLD WATCHES.
Not Safe to Trust to Prepossessing APP
pearance.

New Hired Man Left W. H. Evans of
North Yarmouth Without Saying Good
Bye and Three Gold Watches Left at
the Same Time.
Mr.. W. H. Evans of North Yarmouth, is a
well-to-do farmer and lumberman. and has
had a great deal of experience in.empioying
laboIers, so much SO that he feels pretty
sure of his man after he has once had a
good look at him.
Last Monday he came to Portland looking
for man TO work on his farm. He saw Il
good looking young fellow on the street.
who possessed very prepossessing eye, and
Mr. Evans concluded that here was the man
he wanted. The young fellow gave his
name as Peter Fisher. He was out of work
and wanted the job, and SO drove out home
with M. Evans He went to WORK Tuesday
and worked all day and seemed to be entire-
ly satisfactory.
Yesterday forenoon Mr.. Evans ard his
wife and a man and his wife from Portland,
relatives of theirs, drove to farm few
miles from home, and we're gone about two
hour S, leaving the new hired man alone.
Mr.. Evans had left his gold watch in his
room. because he had dropped it that morn
ing and broken the crystal. His wife's gold
watch was there also, In plain view. and SO
was the gold watch of the Portland lady.
On their return from the drive the new
hired man and the watches were gone. Mr..
Evans house is about two miles from Var
mouth Junction. Inquiries there revealed
the fact that the station agent had seen a
man, answering Fishers description. about
there that morning. and thought that he
took the train for Portland. All yesterday
afternoon Sheriff Plummer and Deputy
Sheriff Dresser, Firth and Plummer were at
work upon the case. They covered all the
ground between here and Yarmouth. both
along the railroad track and the carriage
road. but were unab BILE to secure any clue as
to the direction taken by the theft.
Fisher is twenty-five years of age, of dark
compie xion, five feet six inches tall and
weighs $50 pounds. He has an abundant
mass of dark hair. parted near the middle,
small moustache and very intelligent
and prepossessing eye.
