Aluminium Bank Notes

The Young Mems Day" on Sun.
day In the Astoria churches proved d
decided success and not only were
the meetings very well attended, bui
the congregations were interested
and impressed by the discussions on
the question Of the Young Mems
Christian Association. As result OF
the meetings Sunday, and the gencr-
a feeling on the subject among many
men and women in the city, Is
thought to be very likely that steps
will be taken to start a branch OF
the association here. One OF the
ministers said last night that inside
OF two years there viii be a Y. NJ. c.
A. in Astoria. So wonderful has
been the progress and growth Of this
institution all over the world in the
past 10 or IS years that II seems even
extraordinary that there is not a
branch OF it in this city. In many
cities OF this size there are Y. NJ. c..
AS with buildings that cost from a
quarter Of a million to a half million
dollars and probably there are few
other towns as big AZ Astoria in the
United States, II any, which have no

until there is radical change in the
habits Of certain young folks here
about.
The young man in question is but
l9 years Of age, and the girl i6. and
their story is but replica Of the
tale that is woefully frequent in this
day and age. Steps will be taken to-
day to put an end to the trouble that
attaches in this case, and in such
fashion as shall be warning to other
misguided youngsters in and about
Astoria.
Both are in durance at the city
hall. both are deeply conscious Of
the fact that limit is to be set

a test is to be made Of their case, for
their own redemption, as well as for
the benefit Of many others; and the

will be awaited with interest by all
interested in the safety of Astoria's

The Human Appetite.

OF all the whimsical, shifting. unre-
liable, treacherous, exacting things IN
the world, the human appetite for the
right thing to eat is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious'
There are those who humor it; 9th
ers who defy it; and all men are more
or less inclined to treai 1t with con-
sideration, To find a place where
these varying attitudes may be fos'
tered, at the least cost in each case,
and yet keep the appetite in proper
and peaceful subjection, is always
desirable information, One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted t
this, is the Palace Restaurant, just
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, in this city. Try Z
once, and patronize it always; that l.

A SIGNIFICANT ARREST
MADE LAST NIGHT
TWO YOUNG PEOPLE RUN IN
BY PATROLMAN LINVILLE
UPON GRAVE CHARGE.

There was an arrest made in this
city last night, by'Patrolman Thomas
Linville, that has peculiar signih-
canoe for the parents and guardians
of young boys and girls, since it is
the forerunner Of series of arrests
that are to be made by the officers
generally. Chief Oberg having decid-
ed TO put an end to the reckless and
ruinous intercourse Of young people
in this city, who are allowed far too
much license in their coming and 60
ing after nightfall.
For some time Officer Linville has
had his official eye upon a young man
by the name of Henry Back. who is
at present doing duty as a boot
black, who has been once under police
supervision and compelled to leave
the city as a medium for escaping a
heavy penalty for man-handling a
Chinaman with piece of gaspipe, and
who has lately been working up a
dangerous intimacy with young girl
by the name Of Rosie Neuquist whom
he had enticed to his room in the Bay
CITY House on Tenth street, and
where they were found last night by
that officer, under circumstances
that warranted their instant arrest.
| At the police station the girl con
| fessed to her undoing by Back and
admitted enough to render her sub

to have had at home; though those
with whom she is living "a sister and
brother-inlaw), have trusted her inn
plicitly and allowed her leeway that
has apparently been grossly abused
They are very respectable young
couple and have sought to do their
whole duty by the orphan sister un'
der their charge and have failed only
I in permitting her an undue freedom
of movement after dark; condition
that is far too prevalent in this city
and which has grown to such a pass
that police intervention has become
imperative, and it is to be pursued

the cost will be cannot now be fore
told, but it is not likely to be a very
great sum. Very little Of interest
arose for discussion last night, ex-
cept that one of the members said he
