Vice i'm New England.

new YORK PreSS.
Strange crimes and stranger denouements
occur in New England. particularly in the
milling districts. Few come to light, and
such as do usually battle the police. Mar
riage and divorce, with attendant incidental
Irregularities are the commoner elements
of social disturbance. A mill owner from
New London said yesterday: 1.-The seeds
of vice are sown thick in every factory
town. Many of the girls become so des-
perate over their hard lot, without hope
of Improvement, that they will marry any,
body that comes along, get a divorce in
two weeks, take another husband, get an
other divorce, and so on. Young bloods go
from Boston, Providence New Haven,
Hartford, Worcester and other large cities
to the mill towns, engage themselves to the
girls, marry some, discard them, promise
others homes and happiness desert them
for new loves and generally prey upon
these unfortunate creatures whose lot in
life drives them to accept any change that
offers. Men marry these girls under as
sumed names. and after the honeymoon
disappear No questions are asked The
situation is accepted matter of course.

choice was made. Another vote will be
taken next week.

question: 'Is there law which COM

law having as basis the question OF en-
tering school, but section 1894 of No. 8
Mills statutes, provides That every
board OF health may require that every
inhabitant in their jurisdiction to be vac

It ia a fact that Denver stores charge
higher prices than our home merchants.
New evidence is furnished by l.. W.

he noticed in one millinery store some

sold by Mrs. Keil for 70 cents, and in an
other place he saw some ladies' walking

for 95 cent?. Moral: Patronize home

"A notable meeting was held in Dem
yer Tuesday evening to ratify the nomi-

Speeches were made by Senator Teller,
Gov. Adams aud Hon. Chas. s.
Thomas, ind the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed. In speaking OF the meeting,
the Denver Republican says: Colorado
will elect the silver ticket by such large
majorities that the east will know and
understand that this state is determined
to continue the fight for bimetallism un-
til at last that cause shall triumph. The
cause which the silver tickets represent
is the chief consideration. 1t is battle
for the great principle Of bimetnllism
through independent action. But in nd
dltion to this inducement to indorse the
fusion tickets, voters have the further
consideration that the candidates are in
the highest degree worthy Of their sup

teemed, and they will serve the people
faithfully in the Offices to which they

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Contentment is . good thing until
it reaches the point where it sits IN
the shade and lets the weeds grow.
Life is . short day, but it is work
ing day. Activity may lead to evil.
but inactivity cannot be led to good.

which nobody else would do It paid

Character is made up oflittle things,
and it is only through constant watch
fitness over the details of right and
wrong that we can hope to build 1t into
fair or enduring proportions.
When ease and comfort and pleas
ure stand in the way of our moral
advancement, they must be swept
away by q hand as relentless as that
of the general who burned his ships
that his army might be compelled to
move onward.
Each time we recall our scattering
energies and wandering thoughts, and
