PETTY THIEF.
HE WAS CAUGHT STEA LING
DINNERS AND sOUNDLY
THRAsHED.

Car Inspector George Richardson,
of the Illinois Genital, who has spo.
cial police powers, has adopted a nov.
el method of Furnishing negroes for
petty thieyery. For several days past
some one had been stealing the work
mems dinners and although every
effort was made to apprehend the gull
ty party the sesrohers could not locate
their man. Yesterday Mr.. Richardson
caught a strange negro lifting" a
dinner and he seized him and called
the workmen TO his assistance. 4
long piece Of hose was procured and
while the negro was held every one
took turn about thrashing him with
the tubing. The thief will probably
not be able to sit down for some time
to come and it is safe to say will not
come around the yards again.
Mr.. Richardson thinks tins a letter
punishmt n than placing them IN the
lookup as they rather like the latter
having little 10 DO and getting their
meals free. This same method will
proba bly, be practieed permanently.

CHILD WEAKNESS.

small fraction of the good that
comes from little daily doses

This unfortunate weakness

is not a matter of a day-but
the cure is almost vital to the
child's success in life.
The full benefit of all the

WHITE SLAVE TRADE.

What Is known as 'the white slave
trade furnishes an evidence OF the
difficulty Of suppresslng even recogniz-
ed evils os the gravest character The
traffic IN young women is said to be on
the increase. notwithstanding the
spasmodc efforts made at ending It.
Several international congresses have
been held for the discussion Of that
particular evil, and lately one was held
in Paris. Albert Gigot, a former chief
Of police IN Paris and an authority on
that question. had been entrusted with
'he task OF forming a program which
was carefully considered by the con-
Rress, but II was not formally adopted.
The result was rather negative. the
difficulties OF efficient action being bet
ter understood than ever.
1t was found, for instance, that in
order 10 suppress that horrible traffic

the victim is a minor, and even then

THE MAN HUNT.


citizens Of the State OF Washington
seem TO be impatient AT the slow
progress made in the matter of capture
of the convict, escaped from the Oregon
penltentlary The hunt has been long
and exciting. and although the reports
have been numerous 10 the effect that
he would be run down soon, he always
has had a way OF escape. and a habit
OF turning up In the most unexpected
places, OF course. the newspaper re-
ports have only reflected the impress
slons, OF the hunters The other side
has not been held up to public view,
except when some dramatic incident
occurred that attracted attention. II Is
the story over again, Of a war in which
the news distribution Is controlled by
one side.
The probability is that Tracy has
numerous alders and helpers. Some
body must supply him with arms and
ammunition. He must have had his
stock replenished several times since
his escape. Then, in all probability, he
has friends who secretly furnish him
with shelter when most needed. II Is
not impossible that some OF the people
who have reported that they were held
up by him. willingly gave him the as
slstanoe he demanded, and then re-
ported his deeds OF daring, to free
themselves from suspicion.
At present he appears TO be In
country with which he is thoroughly
familiar. For time he may succeed
in eludng pursuit. The officers know
that his aim is unerring and they will
no doubt keep out Of the range OF his
rife as much as possible. But the hunt
win continue. Those familiar with the
country think that II Tracy succeeds in
gaining the Olympia mountains, he will
disappear as completely as II the earth
had swallowed him, except when he
energies TO commit some act Of law
lessness, II is TO be hoped, then that
his retreat into the mountain recesses
may be cut on.
The courage, endurance and resource
fulness Of this man have attracted
much attention, and some admiration.
There is always some interest shown in
a game where life is at stake. But the
pity Is that the qualities mentioned are
not put TO better use.

A QUESTION OF LOGIC.

'Tt Is estimated that there are eighty
fve churches and missions OF various
non-Mormon faiths--seven denomlna-
lions in all-ln Utah. with a member
ship OF $500. The gains are slow--Only
about 200 last year. all told. Much OF
the field Is not surpassed IN difficulty In
the densest part OF heathenism."
The above has been handed to the
'News." It Is a paragraph quoted from
local religious periodical. The point
Of II Is that because OF the slow prog
ress OF the churches IN Utah, the pre-
dominant religion can properly be COM
pared TO heathenism.
our friends In other churches always
objected to the Mormon" custom Of re-
ferring TO non "Mormonsr and nom
Jews. as "Gentles," although no op-
probrlum was meant or attached TO that
term. but they evidently feel perfectly
justified in calling the "Mormons"
heathens.
But apart from this peculiar exhibit
tion Of UNCONVENTIONAL courtesy the
comparison Is hating. It does not fol-
low that because the churches advance
slowly, the field is beset with heath
enish difficulties. That conclusion is
not necessary from the premises. 1t
Is more natural &c conclude that the
churches themselves are not suitable
missionary agencies for this field. They
may not have the light and the power
needed They may be behind the time
in these respects and stand in need OF
enlightenment. A household already
supplied with electric Hight for all pur-
poses. would not be a good field for an
agent selling tallow- dips, no matter
how excellent these might be OF their
kind. Some improvements in the fix
lures already in use might be welcome,
but there would be no likelihood OF a

better understanding OF the Filipino
character and aims. The war IN the
Philippines has been declared at an
end. Those who participated In 1t on

Aguinaldo, like the rest Of the Filipinos,
must be made to feel that the peace
which has been declared is real
peace. and that in proclaiming Il we

success IN the Philippines depends
largely on how far this government
