An aged couple by the name of Ham
mOnd, reached here yesterday from
Michigan penniless, having been sent
from place to place by the poor authori-
ties on their way to Green Bay which
was their destination and where they
have relations, They looked, as if the
world had not dealt kindly with them
and while poorly apparelled, were clean
and neat. showing that although they
had not been prospered in the accrmu-
lation of any Of this worlds goods,
they were respectable and entitled TO
kindly treatment and sympathy. The
city authorities furnished them trans
portation for a part of their way to
Green Bay, which it is hoped that they
will reach in safety and find relations
who will give them home and that
their evil days will be over.

ging ahead of the rest Of the world

Up to last year we suffered the
modification of seeing Italy leading
us in the percentage Of criminal
population, but with the true
American spirit we crowded on a
little extra criminality and wrested
the proud distinction from the
land of the garlic eaters. Now we
can boast Of 115 known criminals
in every million of population,
while Italy shame-facedly puts
forward an average Of but 1O5.
Far in the rear comes England
with %, France with 10, and Ger
many with 13. BY the time the
trusts and muck-rakers get
through, Jul percentage of known
criminals ought to he the despair

The musical and vocal contest
at st. John church last Tuesday
evening, was indeed musicale,
and was attended by one Of the
most appreciative audiences ever
assembled in the city. Each con
tributor to the program seemed
a special delegate from the world
of music and its rendition proved
in exalted terms the musical abil

The vocal duet by Misses Retta
Davis and Allene White was
good and had very soothing
effect upon their auditors
The Instru. duet by the Misses
Mckinney was perfectly render
ed and was fully equalled by that
of Misses Ethel and Edith White.
Miss Hortense Mosby is in
deed little artist at the piano
and her instrumental solo, was
as usual, above the standard.
Miss Jessie Nelson has long
ago established her reputation as
an expert at the piano and it still
holds good.
Miss .Allene White exhibited
natural ability on her violin and
will hereafter be distinguished as
a coming viOlinist. The solo was
excellent.
When Miss Retta Davis begins
to sing every one knows what to
expect She appeared like the
lily, "arrayed in her glory" Her
solo c'Spring Song was en-.
Enthusiastically encored, and she
responded with "Violets." "
The female quartette was sim

a hearty applause.
