Winter Green Crooks.

Last Saturday two strangers ar
rived in the city who attracted the
attention of the police officers. Night
Watch Posey interviewed them and
later took them in charge as Migrants.
The next morning they were released
under promise of Immediately leaving
the city. In the mean time the sher-
ifs learned that two men answering
the description of these two were
wanted at Darlington for burglary,
they having broken into the postoffice
over there. Sheriffs McGonigal and
DYER went after them. They found
one of the fellows near the stoekyards
and invited him to a private confer
ence, He wished the sheriffs the en-
joyment Of living in a land that is
warmer than this and striking out at
full speed across the wilds of ''North
Dakota made tracks for the region Of
the Aurora Borealis. Then followed
a race worthy the pen of Lew Wallace.
The only weapon in the whole party
was a iack-knife in the hands of the
fugitive. Just how the race would
have terminated is uncertain had not
the party ran upon James McBrien
who was out hunting. The sheriffs
called for his assistance and ordered
him to shoot, if necessary. The
burglars refused at first to obey Jim's
order to stop but catching the merry
twinkle of the glance of his eye along
the gun barrel concluded that discre-
ton was the better part of valor and
came to halt.
After lodging this burglar behind
the bars McGonigal found the other
one at about the same place the
race for the other began and captured
him without much difficulty.
Search for their belongings revealed
a pretty complete burglar outfit Sc
GREETED at the stockyards. There were
three drills, can of powder, piece
of horn for blowing powder into a
hole, and two pieces of homemade
fuse.
On Monday the sheriff of LaFa, cite
county took the two men who gave
the names of John Winter and John
Green, to Darlington. These are
without doubt the same gentlemen
whom Marshal Shelliam of Platteivlle
attempted to arrest as tramps but
who got the drop on the marshal and
persuaded him to ''take walk" while
they made safe their escape.
There seems to he no doubt that
the two men captured here are guilty
of the burglary at Darlington ard it
is to be hoped that they will get the
punishment they SO richly merit.

Post and Corps Install.

A public installation of the officers
of Tom Cox Post and Corps was held
last Saturday evening for the MEM
bers and families OF the two or

stallation ceremonies in his usual inn

After the installation Of the Corps
officers, Mrs. Strong. the president,
spoke on the progress and work of
the corps substantially as follows:
Il desire to thank Col. Clark for SO

the new officers to their seats.
We the officers and members of

While our state has been saved
terrible disasters by flood or fire, and
we have had few calls for charity out

labors have steadily increased.
We give not only our money but
ourselves in our sewing circle and in
visiting our dependent ones, thus con-
Meeting our aids with the latest forms
of philanthrophy.
We know the success of an organi-
cation depends upon the interest of
the members as individuals. When
each member is anxious to lend a
helping hand the best work follows,
and upon each member rests the res
possibility of success or failure. There
is always work for each one to do in
some direction. As each year passes
the work grows more arduous and will
continue to exact more of its leaders
as the members broaden in mind and
widen its field of labors. 1t has been
my feeling from the first that while
we give freely we receive much more

national seeretarY's repol i think
the corps is one of the potent forces
for the educating and uplifting of the
women of our order and to my mind
this is one of the grand results of our
work
Comrades, you have for an auxiliary
the largest charitable organization of
women on the earth.
Only few days ago said the hand
of Death had touched no member of

A MIGHTY GOOD LAW.

There has been introduced into the House
of Representatives a bill providing that all
juvenile offenders of the law under the age
of II years shall, when brought to court,
be accorded trial in a room separate and
distinct from the department in which the
Older aud more hardened criminals are
tried. There is every reason to hope that
such bill will become law.
The rractice OF herdiGS children in whom
the spirit OF depravity is not yet matured
with the coarsest and vilest of the creatures
OF this footstool is reprehensible in the
extreme. II contributes, as much as any
other agency, to the filling of our prisons
with real criminals. The impressions re-
ceived by an introduction to crime in its
depraved form has lasting and destroy
ing effect upon the young mind. Few
children under IL years of age are real
criminals. They have within them some
of the spirit OF Adam, but they are not
often really depraved. Housed with the
dregs Of society, however, they soon be-
come so.
Let there be a distinction between the
youthful endeavorcr in crime and the
hardened professional. Contact with the
latter soon makes very bad citizens out OF
the former.

THE ASSEMBLY.

A final adjournment OF the Genera
Assembly is expected next Wednesday.
Some work OF importance has been trans
acted this term, but there is n good deal
more TO do before the Public Statutes Of
Rhode Island are what they ought to be.
In the first place, no promise has been
made for equalizing the discrepancy be-
tween the receipts and expenditures OF
public money. The legislature went into
session with very distinct understanding
of the serious condition Of the State finan-
ces and with the shadow OF a bond issue
hanging over 1t. The debt will 20 on
piling up for another year, at least, and
perhaps for a much longer period. There
is as little hope OF seeing the expenses cut
down as there is OF an increase in the rev
enues.
Nor has the Assembly seen fit TO do any
thing drastic in the matter OF improving
the highways OF the State. II is true that
q resolution has been introduced for the
appropriation OF $4,000 to build half mile
samples, which has gone TO the Committee
on Finance, but a general provision for
the prompt building OF roads OF a good
quality, II not Of fancy price and design,
has not been made. IL will, we fear, be a
long time before anything substantial II
done In the way OF good road building.

THE TROLLEY XRSTYBULE.

1t is the opinion of most people that
sooner or later some steps will have to be
taken to compel the trolley companies OF
the State Ito make provision for the better
protection of motormen in the winter
season.
We scorn John Bull because he provides
only an apology of cab for his locomotive
driver yet we have in this country an in
stitution OF equally barbaric principle.
The man who drives the trolley car is ex-
posed to the worst of winters rigors. He
Is absolutely without protection from cold
and storm. Often these employees become so
chilled by exposure as to be utterly unable
to perform their duties with promptitude.
A stiff and frozen motorman might In a
sudden emergency, be unable to stop his
car in time to save human life, and vet
we go on from year to year saying that it
Is the company's business whether vesti-
bules are put on the cars or not.
Public safety as well as the comfort Of
the employees Of the roads demand that the
trolley cars Of the State shall be vestibuled.
III the companies refuse to make the
change, then State law should be passed
compelling them to do so. 1t was found
possible to oblige the steam roads of the
country to Iput automatic couplers and
and guard rails on their freight cars, and
equally potent compulsion can be effected
In the case of the trolley and vestibule.
