West Side miner Since last Thursday
he had been looking high and low for
his 17-Near-old daughter who. after a
ilars- up with her step-mothor ON
Wednesday, left the house vowing she
would never return. She didn't return
that night nor the next day, and when
the father returned from work in the
evening and found his daughter still
absent he set out to look for her.
Every spare moment during the day
and long into the night he trampcd
the city looking ana inuuiring every
where for his runaway girl. He did not
rotify the police. because he hoped to
find her without creating any scandal.
Last night. as usual, he was plOd-

streets. pcering into the face of every
girl that looked anything like his Cas-
ste" Ten o'clock came and he was pre-
pared to return home to report another

NEW WOMAN AND OLD MAN.
Colonel Balm Discusses the Two Be-
fore a Large Y. VI. &. A. Audience.

Colonel Balm, the brilliant Kentucky
orator spoke to a large audience last
night al Y. NJ. 6. 4. hall on THE New
Woman and the Old Man" The sub
ject was one that naturally attracted
much attention and no one could have
been disappointed in the original and
clever manner in which the eloquent
speaker dealt on the many phases of
the questions instanced.
Throughout the course Of the lecture
the idea that women should move i'm
the sphere for which they are indi-
vidually best fitted was earnestly ad-
vocated. Colonel Balm started out with
the statement that many people are
disposed to apply the Monroe doctrine
upon the new woman, in the belief
that she is already gaining title to too
much of mans territory, besides daily
encroachng upon more. Man is him
self responsible for this In that he has
substituted for woman's handiwork I'm
washing spinning. weaving, etc, the
labor-saving devices Of the age.
In closing, Colonel Balm said that
most OF the hard times and general un-
rest could be attributed to the two

SUIT AGAINST A CONSTABLE.
lie is Charged With Badly Beating
Mrs. Elizabeth NcHahon

Another chapter was yesterday added
to the tale of bother between Mrs.
Elizabeth Mcmahon. of Providence, and
Constable Seth Smith. Mrs. Mcmahon,
through her attorney, 7. p. Duffy,
made an allegation to the effect that
the constable beat her 50 badly on De-
cember Is. last. that for a time her life
was despaired Of, and she demands
$1,000 damages as a balm for her in
juries.
The trouble grows out of fight over
the possession of property i'm the Third
ward. The attempt to dispossess Mrs
Mcmahon entailcd a long string Of
civil and criminal suits, scarcely ses-
sion of court, of any kind, during the
past year being free from at least one
case in which the fight figured.
