Ladies Welcome the Aid Of Women
Who DO Not Care to Take Promi-
Gsnt Part in the Movement.

News is so strongly espousing the cause
of social purity in this city. While
would certainly urge greater vigilance on
the part OF the police In regard 10 closing
the houses OF iil-fame. I would also de-
msnd that those In authority shodlI ap-
point men on the po.lcs force. whose pri-
vate lives should he "a guarantee OF their
desire TO serve the city properly in this
respect.
IT would strongly advocate the passing
of a law restricting the walking of yor1g
girls on the public highways, In the even
ings, unaccompanied by suitable guard
ians. A law of tn; kind rigidly enforced
might shelter young girls Oc to is years
old from temptation. and perhaps keep
them later on from licentious life.
which oftimes has its beginning in the
reprehensible custom of spending the
evening hours paradng the streets to see
and be seen.
Would not this tend to lessen the
houses of ill-fame In the future7 II any
one doubts the wisdom of this law let
him who cares for social purity walk on
Westminster street some Saturday or
Sunday evening and see for himself IL the
law had not better restrain where the
parents cannot or will not"

A reporter Of The News called upon
the wife of a prominent citizen living on
the East side this morning and asked
her this question:
do you think the women of Provi-
dence should use their influence with the
men Of their families to secure nominees
for mayor and council pledged to enforce
the law In the Tenderloin?"
Yes" said the lady, II do

When this statement was shown TO one
of the leaders In the movement, she said
with enthusiasm.

OF women the movement most needs.
There are only comparative handful

While the Indictment. which was very
long, was being read Bresci was appar-

the audience without any signs of fear
or effrontery.
The indictment showed that the assas-
sin induged in incessant target practice
and that he prepared bullets so as to
render them more dangerous.
The witnesses were then introduced.
There were eleven for the prosecution
and five for the defence.

From Chambers Journal.
1t would be hazardous to conjecture what
the first wick consisted of; but WHEN we
come to consider the iron lamp or .'crusie"
we know that the wick commonly used
was the pitch of the rush, which was gath
cred and partially stripped of its outer green
covering. cut into proper lengths, dried, and
tied up into bundles, ready for use The
iron lamp was hammered out of one piece
of iron, in stone mold. This was usually
done by the blacksmith and the molds are
still to be sem in museums in the hands of
private collectors. and no doubt at some of
the country blacksmiths shops. They are
of one uniform shape, with some slight va
rieties. The lamp consists of two cups, one
suspended above and inside the other The
able the upper cup. which holds the oil and
wick to be shifted to keep the oil constant
ly in contact with the wick The lower cup
catches the drip of the oil, which can be
easily replaced in the upper cup by lifting
1t off until the oil is poured into it. The
upper cup has sometimes a movable lid
There is a remarkable resemblance not
only between the iron crusies in this coun-
try, but to those on the continent and in
Egypt. They preserve the same general
shape. but dIifer in the material form in
which they are made. The Pompeian
lamps, or at least some of them might be
described as three crusies in one. The cup
of the lamp is the same but 1t has pro-
vision for three lights The oil used in the
Scotch lamps was of the coarsest kind. On
the west coast the OIL used was and Is still

And, We gods. feast they did, No one who

conducts the operat ton of feasting is
unique. Opening his mouth wide, the mack

length In an instant one of these is to
be seen sticking half in and half out of
his mouth. Then the mackereI gives one

skirt the pool. and painting their lives ont
