Permit me to call the attention Of
the police to a dangerous nuisance
committed by boys on the sidewalks
near the public schools. / refer to the
sliding places which have caused
numerous accidents to pedestrians and
to email children. The recent snow
has given the boys an excellent OPP
portunity to make the sliding-places
and they have taken advantage Of the
condition Of the weather, and on OF
near every school pavement one may
see one or more slides. The boys
form these slides by packing snow on
the sidewalk and smoothing 1t over
with water. The water gives the slide
q slippery covering and then the boys
slide from end to end. In shart time
the slide is as slippery as glass, and
many pedestrians who step on the sur
face fall violently to thee sidewalk.
Painful injuries have been sustained
IN this manner and think 1t is time
for the police to break up the practice.
There are other places where slides can
be made and under no condition should

is THE SPEAKER TAKING oRDERsp

THERE is a disposition, and we think with
4 cause, to find fault with Speaker Hodgson
OF the House of Representatives for the manner
in which he is referring bills to committees. One
OF the most important committees in the House
is that on Public Corporations, of which Robert
Keenan,, of this city, is chairman With one or
two exceptions, Speaker Hodgson has not re-
ferred to the committee any of the many bills re-
lating TO and affecting public corporations. Our
opinion Of Mr.. Hodgson has been such that we
are 10th to accuse him OF being influenced in an
improper way in the discharge of his public dut-
les but if he continues to ignore the Committee
on Public Corporations he will undoubtedly sub
ject himself to an adverse criticism that will add
nothing to his honor or credit. He has had too
much experience in the Legislature to not know
the proper committees to which he should refer
bills for consideration.

The Lighted Match.

Editor The Evening Journal
The danger OF throwing lighted
matches in waste baskets and about
the floors of public buildings, depart
ment and other stores has been called
to the attention OF people so many
times that one would imagine that
careless persons who do such things
would begin to take warning That
they do not do so has been manifested
on many occasions by numerous fires,
which. fortunately were discovered be-
fore they had time to gain consider
able headway. such occurrences
should cause thoughtless persons TO
think OF what serious consequences
might result from their carelessness.
There Is not only the probability OF a
great loss being Incurred by the total
destruction Of building catching fire
from the cause mentioned, but there
IS also the danger Of persons being
trapped In and being burned to death
before they could be rescued.

Asks for Wide open Churches.
Editor The Evening Journal
There Is one thing that has always puz-
zied me a good deal. and that Is the small
number Of churches that keep their doors
omen during the week. The Catholic
churches and a few OF the Episcopal
churches have their doors open all the
time. so that people can enter the edifoe
AT any time and offer up a prayer. VIII
noincton is known as a religious city yet
Il Is astonishing how few Of the many
churches that we have keep their doors
omen except on Sunday. In other cities
one can enter churches Of every denomi-
nation during week days.
Churches are for public worship, and
IN my opinion. they should be kept open
ALI the time. There are many people who
are compelled to work on Sunday and arc
perforce. unable to attend church but who
would gladly enter an edihce during the
week and offer up prayer, no matter
how short n might be- But those not Of
the Catholic faith do not feel as If they
could willingly enter that church 20 offer
up a prayer. although all cdifices are

MUTILATED
BODY FOUND
In an Erie Box Car at
Gallon.
MURDER THEORY REVIVED
Clue Found Here Last Week
May Prove Valuabls.
Investigation May Result in Dis.
covery That Victim was Murder
ed In Local Yards.

The finding of traces of what
might have oeen a murder, near
the Erie tool house south of Cen
ter street about a week ago, is
revived in the reported finding of
the badly mutilated body of a
man in an Erie box car at Gallon
Monday night.
1t is stated that the authorities
there found the body of man
who had evidently met with foul
play in an empty box car which
had been standing in the yards
for about a week. The car was
sent to Gallon from Cincinnati.
1t will be remembered that a
pool of blood, several handker-
chiefs soaked with blood and a gas
pipe with blood smeared on one
end were found near the Erie
tool house. 1t was claimed by some
at the time that Hnrder had been
done and that the murderer had
chucked his victim into one of the
cars of a passing freight train.
thereby covering up all traces of
his deed. People who lived in tho
vicinity were greatly excited over
the find and many incidents were
brought to light which tended to
show that murder had been com
mitted.
The police took different stand
believing that some one stealing
ride on a train had attemVed to
alight at the tool house and had
crashed against that building when
getting off the freight. hence the
pool of blood and the other
finds
When they learned of the report
ed find at Gallon the police en-
deavored to learn more Of it
but have as yet been unsuccessful.
The police have been informed
that freight train stopped at
the point where the "findr was
made and that there were several
cars of hogs on the train. They
believe that one of the cars was
opened and a hog or two killed
and carried away by some of the
foreign element that makes its
headquarters in that section of the
city.
The reported find at Gallon will
be investigated and If It can be
connected in any way with the To-
cal case an effort viii he made
to clear up the matter.

she had gathered them together TO
show them how they could get as
thin as they cared to be without di-
citing, exercise or taking the waters:
emancipate them, in other words, of
their over-abundant fat and from the
