New YORK, May 23.-Charles f. w.
Nicely, former chief financial agent of
the postoffice department at Havana,
Cuba, was rearrested by United States
marshal. The arrest was made on a

cult Judge Lacombe in civil suit

is charged with the wrongful CONVEX
sion of $45, 300.26. His bail was fixed

and Frederick p. Smith. Nicely was
sent to jail after refusal to reduce the
amount of bail on the part of the Judge
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The war de-
partment received from General Wood,
at Havana, the substance of two crimi-
nal charges to be preferred against
Nicely in connection with the Cuban
postal frauds.

department of justice. 1t was said they
IRE regarded as necessary for the prose-
cution of the extradition proceedings.
The department of justice telegraphed
the charges to District Attorney Bur
nett, at New York 1t is believed that
the charges are two counts specifying
the illegal conversion of public moneys
to the use OF Nicely.
1t is said keee that the charge upon
which Nicely Is now held i'll New York
is of the very slightest character. Hence
there is necessity for Immediately

ALTHOUGH this period is being referred to by
many as one that will be designated by the rising
generation great reform epoch, there is appar-
emily little effort being made toward lifting an un-
fortunate woman who has fallen from her exalted
pedestal of honor and virtue. When she is betrayed
by in whom she has trusted her honor and social
position she invariably lands into seething vortex
from which loving hand will stoop to lift her out
It is strange, but nevertheless true, that father
husband and brother will generally denounce her
and henceforh remain Indifferent to her supplications
for mercy and forgiveness This is an undisputed
fact, for thousands of such cases are to be seen
yearly. But let lordly drop from his semi
santed position into the very teeth of hell, and a
hundred arms are outstretched to rescue him. He
can become habitual drunkard; afflicted with the
most loathsome of diseases; become fugitive from
justice in foreign cline; prosecuted by his fell
low man and landed in the penitentary and his wife
will heaven and earth to follow him. to assist
him and to comfort him amid the strife and bitter

RIGHT AND WRONG.

The sense of right and wrong developes by the
exercise of reflection. When the mind becomes &C.

images of rules of conduct, with their obligations
and conventionalites, are formed by the reflective
faculty dwelling the rights of others and incu-
eating respect for them AS this respect strength

the initial move of reflection and is the safeguard
against impulsiveness.
Wrong, in it's relation to the emotions is the
outgrowth of tendencies lacking the check-rein of
reflection to bride their Natural qualities
Of goodness may be presented and yet lack the per-
ceptive faculty Of distinguishing the points of differ
ence between right and wrong. The inclination may
be wellintentioned, but the power of directing it
developed.
Reflection has for its moral functions the duty
of directing good Intentions inducing thought and
teaching the limits that confines right within it's
sphere of action. Right appears best when battling
with wrong. The weapons of the one are justice
and purity, of the other rdicule and corruption.
