But there is a more terrible n subtle cause for his action. Every now

There are people all around you who are lonely.
Much of their loneliness is the result of themselves not of you-but that

Let those who have children steer clear Of divorce. If for nothing else, let
them try to fight the trials and trbu1ations in this world for the sake of the

life of eparation from the child who loved him. The mother might probably
have had good cause for separation, but N would think that almost anything

MINER.
molly Maguires was a secret order
which existed in 1S54-77, and possibly
a~fterward, in the anthracite coal min
ing region of northeastern Pennsyi-
vania. About 1866 the Molly Maguires
first became generally known as a Ian
gerous organization. In 1875, having
been instrumental in forcing a general
strike in the coal region, IT succeeded in
obtaining AT ascendency in the councils
of the miners, and from that period
was prominent in assassination and
other outrages. committed usually on
the persons and against the property of
justices of the peace, police officers and
mining bosses.
The final exposure. capture and pun

largely due to the energy and deter

The INCREASE OF CRIME.

That crime is on the increase in New York and very much So is shown
in statements made by Police Commissioner Bingham. In the week ending
February Is there were D cases of robbery. Last week sixty flats we're
robbed. The crimes are mostly against property and the Police Commissioner
attributes the main cause to hard times which is logical enough. The New
York police are hauling the crooks in by the carload but the robberies go
IN jus. the same and in increasing ratio too.
When there is a large increase in crime in the two cities OF New York and
Philadelphia some of it overhows into New Jersey We get from both cities
much Of the crime and pauperism that cur State has to deal with The moral
is that We should relax none of our police protection and that or courts
should not run too close 10 a dangerous Ieniency. A state that has the repu-
tahon for a stern administration of its criminal laws is a state that criminals
like to keep out Of An inhexibe administration of the criminal laws is the
best barrier we can set up against any unusual influx of crime from the two
large cities that flank New Jersey at either end.
