Cruelty to Children.

Eds. Record Union: Complaint has
been made against the Society for the
prevention of Cruelty to Children for
interfering with the Banvard perform
ance at the Pavilion, wherein a child
is thrown from one trapeze performer
to another alternately, sometimes SOM
ersaulting in the passage. Our society
is exceedingly careful not to interfere
except where the law of the State JUS
titles and the right of the child is in
fringed
To complainants we sumbit the fol-
lowing letter of the law: Statutes of
1877: ANY person who shall ex-
hibit or employ under any pretense,
any child under the ages of sixteen y
in or for the vocation, occupation,
service or purpose of gymnast,
contortionist of, for or in any
business, exhibition or vocation, injuri-
Gus to the health, or dangerous to the
life or limb of such child shall be gull
ty'' etc, ETC.
Again, another section reads: Every
person who takes, receives or employs,
or has in custody such child" ETC., is
guilty. And again, Section 3 takes such
child from such custody and requires
the Magistrate to commit the child to
better care. And again, Section #
reads: Whoever shall willfully cause
or permit any child to suffer, or who
shall inflict thereon unjustifiable pain,
or mental suffering or permit the
life or limb of such child to be endan-
gered, or the health of such child to be
injured or to be placed in such a
situation that its life or limb NAV he
endangered, or it's health shall be like
ly to be injured, shall be guilty" ETC.,
ETC.
1t will be seen that the law is explicit
and that the Society is acting clearly
within the lines Of it's duty; disagree
able duty, but one not to be evaded on
that account. Very respectfully,
THE SOCIETY.

CoNNoRs LIKELY TO DIE.
He Makes an Attempt to Identify
His Assai1ant

John Connors, the mining man who
on Wednesday night last had a bowel
lacerated from kicks which he says
were administered by a bartender in a
downtown saloon. is still alive, but
his death is thought to be only a mat
ter of time.
Yesterday morning, in the presence
of the City Attorney. the shorthand re-
porter ard the police officers detailed
on the case Connors made an ante-mor-
tenn statement in which he gave fair
ly accurate description of the man who
so. brutally kicked him. He was in
great agony, but seemed to have his
wits about him.
Acting on the information given by
Connors, the officers took to the County
Hospital the proprietor and bartender
of a lower K street saloon, and an
habitue of the place, and marshaled
them before Connors. requesting him
to point out the man who had kicked
him, if he was present.
The hack driver who had taken the
party out had gone into the room out
of curiosity, and it was he whom Con-
nors picked out as his assailant, and
as a consequence the suspects were
given their liberty.
The officers are of the opinion that
Connors' sufferings have affected his
mind. and doubt whether he, even
should he live for number of days
which is not considered likely, will be
of any material use to them in ferret,
ing out his assailant. They are, how
ever, looking for another man. who is
suspected, and expect to soon lodge
him behind the bars
