Bitter struggle with Poverty of m

From the London Telegraph.
Under the title Of alone in London

story of a little London girl beyond

but at the same time, we fear, of con-
slant occurrence. Jessie Smiths tale.
told by her own little starved lips, is,
however. not less full of grave sub
jects for reflection because 1t is or
binary. She had tasted the solitude
worse than that Of the unpeopled des-
ert or the unpeopled ocean. In a pop
ulation of some 5.0O00 900 this city maid
en- of II years was without one single
friend or protector.
Up to the age of she had lived in
some precarious and miserable man

court abe seems to have oscillated

up a sixpence now and then, 1t ap-

babies, running errands and the like.

of an Arab of the pavement.
A month ago her mother uied, and,
deprived os such scant assistance as
her poor hands had rendered, Jessie
was at last conquered In her long
fight with hunger. sickness and pow

crust of bread and drunk her watered
milk there was no longer sixpenees

TRIED TO LYNCH ITALIANS.
Infatuated Pcnnsylvanfans Did Their
Best to Get Them From Officers.


Fest to Get Them From Officers.
New Kensington, Pa, June 21.-Dcm-
mick Sandof, Tony Madron and Louis
Madron, Italians, narrowly escaped
lynching early to-day at the hands of
an Infatuated mob of several hundred
men and boys. Late yesterday David
James, a prominent citizen, was as
saulted by the foreigners, and Frank
James, his son. who rushed to his res
cue, was mortally wounded. Imme-
diately after the shotoing the assail-
ants fed, but were overtaken and
lodged in the police station.
A mob of about 500 soon gathered
and demanded the prisoners, but they
were quickly taken to the railroad sta
ton for removal to the Greensburg
Jail. One hundred armed men were
deputized as officers to protect the
prisoners, but no sooner were they
landed in the station than a rush was
made for them. The building was
partly wrecked. but the officers kept
the mob at bay with drawn revolvers
until a carriage was procured and they
were hastily driven to Pittsburg.
Hundreds of the mob pursued the
carriage, but the horses were fresh
and soon out dfstanced their pursuers.
Later the prisoners were safely
lodged in the Greensburg jail.

her pinching hunger.
London children Of this unhappy
class never think until the last turn
of the screw about invoking the aid of
the police. They are, on the contrary,
brought up to regard the copper" as
their natural enemy, and we can make
some estimate of the depth of despair
reached by Jessie Smith when we learn
that at last, at the bitter end, the lit
tie maid of the pavement, broken,
beaten, crushed by calamities, gave up
all and asked a policeman" Very
kindly he took Jessie into custody for
the crime of being starved, ragged,
friendless and without visible means
of subsistence"
Thus her pathetic story came out be-
fore Mr.. Plowden, at Marylebone Po-
lice Court, but accompanied by such
copious floods of tears that IL was
necessary for the court missionary to
hear her story in private and then to
communicate 1t to the Bench. Then did
little Jessie Smith find that cop
per- can be, as 1t were, a messenger
of mercy and a magistrate as good as
a fairy godmother. The only bit Of
blue that ever showed in the sky of
her life broke now through it's dark

any more. You have gone through a

to which Jessie Smith belonged, Lon

terror. The points in the story which
are strange. If truly narrated, are. first.
