JOHN KING TERRIFIES RESI-
DENTS OF DETROIT.
HAuNrs LOCAL CEMETERY.
Imssines euryins Ground Contains

turn to Asylum.

I'etroit, Mich.-Afraid of their lives,
feaiful of leaving their homes, the
children in the vicinity of Mt. Elliott
ana Monroe avenues have not played
In the streets for several nights.
Older persons, too. remain on front
por:hes and do not wander far from
the open doorway, through which they
may flee at moments notice.
John King, a man with wrecked
mind, is the cause of the commotion
that exists in that vicinity, and al
though hunted by officers, he has elud-
ed them and a complete reign of ter
Elliott cemetery.
King is a powerful young fellow
of about 25 years. After his mind
gave way he was taken to the Dear
bori retreat, but about a month ago
returned to his home in this city.
For several weeks there was no in
dication of anything wrong with the
young man. But, suddenly, he began
to develop fondness for the solitude
OF the cemetery, especially at night,
and forsaking his bed at home, he

stoGes and slept on the limbs after
the primitive fashion.
King had the idea that the GENE.
ters contained a great lake and that
on its shores was the ideal camping
place. And at night. to avoid the
heat, he would steal away to his tree
bed.
Neighbors who knew of the occur
renee notified the police at the Elm
wood station. Several men were de-
tailed to effect the capture of the
young man. and nightly they have
patroled the vicinity, three or four of
them frequently being seen in that
portion where the demented man was
supposed to be.
Often King would leave the seclu-
sioh of his haunts in the cemetery and
walk with quick, jerky stride along
the walks adjacent to the cemetery.
One night, when an officer accosted
him, King, it is said. wheeled and
struck the officer a violent blow. fell
ing him to the ground, and, turning,
ran north.
The demented man is also alleged
to have grabbed young man by the

A MENACE TO LITE AND PROPERTY

avenue the principal business thoroughiare of the town of Nogales, has been always very much of a ! nuisance, increasing constantly with the growth of the town and | consequent increase in the use of the highway, until now t has ceased to be a nuisance simply and hecome menace to life and property. The street is very mar row, hardly room 10 turn a team and vehicle, and is in constant use, being the most convenient route in and out of town toward the north, and being positively necessary for use by all having any business to' transact. Over a distance of about five hundred feet any team passing has to travel closely to the track, frequently with train Of moving carson pulling, snorting locomotive right alongside, which are not con- ducive to quieting the nerves of a high-spirited and nervous horse. Upon that very account there have been many narrow escapes from severe and serious accidents and sooner or later, there will occur ! mishap 10 someone which will be appalling
 There have been made many efforts by the town government and by individuals to induce the railway company to remove the track. In the nearly twenty acres of grounds they have there is surely sufficient track room with out having to maintain that nui- sanee and menace to the safety oi the public having to use the thor oughfare. And at one time the authorities Of the railway company made an agreement for a consider ation to do SO In the minutes of the meeting ot the town hoard there is spread a copy of tele- gram received by the then mayor Of the town in 1899, which reads as follows:

The Old. Old Story

Danville m to the front with an
other story of sin and shame and death
"a fallen woman named Nettie Fox,
one Of the hardened creatures Of the
Crack Head street variety, took a dose
OF cold poison and died. 1t was car
bOlic acid which she drank-and thus
made her death as horrible and as
painful as possible. In her life there
had been some hOpe-once she was the
respected daughter of a good family;
once she was fair of face and feature
but with a sister she chose a life Of
shame, and at the age of 33 ended it.
The sister gave out the story that The
parents were dead, but that two broth
ers were living and were respectable
gentlemen; but she would not give up
her real name-and it were better that
it was that way.
And here is something interesting
in the lives Of these hardened wrercnes
these hays who traffic in their souls
and die. A young man goes away from
home, and no matter much what be
dOes-gets drunk, fights, goes to police
court and prison-so long as he is not
guilty of some terrible crime, he clings
to his real name and the parents and
the kith and kin are made to suffer.
But when a woman enters upon her
life of sin, upon her life of degradation,
she always has enough respect for her
people-fOr herself, if we will admit
ito put her other life far away from
her. She changes her name. and be-
comes FlOssie or Lizzie or May Or
Maud-and no one will ever get her t
divulge her real name. And so she
sins and suffers and dies unknown:
and herein the woma part of human
nature is stronger than the man part
of human nature.
Of course we have the exceptions
now and then so far as the man is
concerned, but generally speaking the
man is a weakling and just when he
should not turn up he is writing home
for money or disclosing his name or
whereabouts in some way Or other.
But the woman who knows that she
has soiled her soul; who knows that she
has sunk deeper than the brute; who
realizes that her toouch would be on
tamination, and her tongues pnrest
word a lie-creeps in the shadows and
hides behind IN assumed name. Honor
to her-if it be due her kind-fOr the
courage she displays, even unto death,
an protecting the fair name of a
mother and father who are innocent
of her crime.-AI Fairbrother's Every
thing.

question OF the constdtutionality of
city ordinances requiring separate dc
commodations for members OF the two
races in the city street cars. In one
case it declared the city ordinance I'M
constitutional because of discrimina-
ton. This law providing for the sep
arate compartments made an exception
IN favor of "colored nurses having the
care of white children Or sick white
persons" was declared to be void for
discrimination. In the other two
cases the supreme court upheld the con
s~titutionality of the city ordinances
requiring separation Of the races on
street cars, one making an exception
in favor Of all nurses and the othe:.
making no exception at all.

the popes have not ventured outside

the necessity of acknowledging al
legiance TO the kings Of Italy. They
nave refused to do this since the
