Natural Migrants, All Of Us.

There has never been a time when
men did not wander from desire for
change, a desire to flee from the mo-
notony of mere existence. There Is
fever in the blood which drives men
to wander, affecting rich and poor
alike, and this is a factor which no
legislation can ever entirely eliminate
in dealing with the true vagrant class.

TWO MORE ADDED
 TO COOPER JURY
l,l95 TaIeSmen Have Been Examined l. Judge Hart Orders Another Venire
 of 800 Men for Today.

Nashville, Tenn. Jan. 29.-The ninth day of the trial of Coll Dun- can 'B. Cooper and John D. Sharp Tor the murder of former Senator k. W, Carmack closed with two additions having been made to the jury, which now numbers nine. The two recent acquisitions are Gus Knipfer and F. O. Beir- man.
 Up to tonight 1895 talesmen have been examined in an effort to get the 12 men, Of Ghose qualified the state challenged 13 the defense challenged 23 and the court summarily excused two after they had been declared satisfactory to both sides.
 Of the last venire of 800 men 19o have been called. It is con- ceded that the action of the state in charging two taleSmen with perjury has greatly reduced the chances of getting jury atOnce Many of those summoned say they may have Expressed an opinion at the time the murder occurred and for fear of an in dictment they disqualify them selves.
 Those who are left on the ven ire will be examined tomorrow and in anticipation of a failure to complete the jury from those remaining, Judge Hart has order cd a fresh venire of 500 names. This will exhaust the names in the jury wheel

Chicago, May Startling ar
raignment of the big department
stores of Chicago for the recruiting
for white slavery in their waiting
rooms Is contained in report Of the
Juvenile Court COMMITTEES as a result
of careful investigation covering
several weeks. Conditions are found
so bad that free employment
bureau for girls and women has been
opened where they may escape their
tempters when their empty purses
make temptations strong.
The report declares women are
the worst offenders against their sex
and throws newt light upon the
pitfalls spread for needy girls in big
cities. The report transmitted TO
the Committee appointed by the
Woman's World to conduct its sys-
tematic campaign against the white
slave traffic stated that inyestiga-
tion was confined to the nine largest
department stores, tnat during the
investigation sixteen arrests were
made-fifteen men and one woman
and all sixteen convicted.
"The first thing which was noted
during the visits" the report de-
clares, was that the waiting rooms
in the stores particularly those
which were large and comfortable
were being used by number OF un-
employed girls. In one or the wait
ing rooms at one particular time
there were seen forty-eight girls
ranging in ages from fourteen tc
twenty. A large number of these
girls seemed to be continually study
ing the want ad columns of the news
papers. Many girls we're there alone
and spent the entire day without
food.
I'm all of the big waiting-rooms
there was constant stream of men
particularly before we were very
we'll known who seemed to be al.
ways looking for some one. Al,
sorts of schemes were used by them
to get girls into conversation. A
very common way of starting was tc
offer a girl newspaper. When you
know that many girls come to these
rooms without even a penny with
which to buy paper and sit and
wait in the hope that some one will,
be forgetful enough to leave a pa.
per which will tell where to find
work, one can easily sec how effect.
i've this simple method of starting
acquaintance Is.

ALMSHOUSE
"The Lovely MolIie Doty" is
Found in a Room Almost
Starved.

Pittsburg, May 25 -.Baronness L.
Lagerfelt, who in her youth was
universally admired as "the lovely
Mollie Doty," of Steuberville, o.,
whose father, Calvin b Doty, was
one of the wealthiest men of this
section, was admitted to the poor
house at Altenheim, w. Va, at her
own request yesterday.
Miss Doty married Baron l.. Fred.
erick Lagerfelt, scion Of a fine old no.
ble Swedish family, vice consul Of
Sweden here in st. Paul's church,
Steubenville, Dec. 12 1884, and there
by broke the hearts of many Amer
lean suitors. Five years afterward
Baron Lagerfelt disappeared and
charges OF forgery were made against
him. Three years later mis- broken
hearted wife divor. ed him.
1t is not known how the baroness
exhausted her resources. She spent
her last penny three weeks ago.
Friends of her youth found her

becca street, North Side, here. Proud
still, in her misfortunes, she refused
to occupy the quarters they provided
for her or the money offered her,
and applied for admission to the
almshOuse.
Calvin w. Doty was the largest
stockholder in the Jefferson Iron
works and large stocl1holder in the
La Belle furnaces at Wheeling, W.
Va. After his marriage Baron Lag
erfelt devoted himself entirely 10 his
sather-in-la laws business and Mr..
Doty had him elected vice-president
of the Jefferson Iron works. Lager
felt vanished; then It was charged
that he had forged the names OF the
president and secretary or the iron
works TO blo.ks OF stock on which
he had borrowed large sums from
banks and individuals.

cesslve tariff rates as lead to the
building up Of monopolies and the
oppression OF consumers.
Efforts were made by several Sena-
tors to learn why there should be
higher duties on orange mineral and
white lead, both of which are made
from lead, than on lead itself. Senator
Aldrich openly scoffed at Senator
Burkitt when the Nebraska man
insisted that, as both white lead and
orange mineral were largely used in
paint, the farmer who bought them
to paint his barn was entitled to as
much consideration as the Smelling
Trust. SO apparent was this sneer
that Burkitt replied to Il.
AS the tariff situation now stands,
the Finance Committee is determine
ed to force through its bill, without
material change, and with as little as
possible in the way of information

to them are LaFollette, Clapp, Nelson

IL frequently, happened that two

An effort was made Dy Judge Wells

"After watching these stores fol

"1st: The waiting room OF tho
large stores furnish an opportunity
for the procurers to ply their trade
and this opportunity is not being
neglected.
End: Girls are frequently taker
from among the clerks but as they
are better protected, at least in the
majority of the stores, by managers
through the cooperation of theil
floor walkers, this is probably less
often done.

used for the same purpose as the
store waiting room by the girls out
of employment, and these girls are

A STREAK

"
New York, May %. "A vivid streak
Of FIRE shot half way across the Hud-

the flame disappeared the $4,000
motorboat Libbie was totaa wreck
and the four persons who had been
gaily sailing down the river in her

Albert Hartog owned the motor
boat. He and his son Ferdinand, the
engineer, Ralph Stendson, and the
latter's assistant, a boy, naG made
several trips as far as Fort Lee Fer
ry. On the last trip an explosion
occurred and the forward part OF tho
boat caught FIRE. The boat was then
in the middle of the river and the
steersman headed FOR shore at full
speed.
The Gibbie shot straight across the
river, her whole prov ablaze and the
wind caused by the great speed driv-
ing the flames back into the faces OF
the four men. Before the boat
beached ITSELF however, the flames
got too hot for those aboard and they
all jumped and safely reached shore.
The boat was completely destroyed.

Some OF those Mexican veterans
who returned sixty years ago are yet
hale and stout. There will still be a
few left for a number of years. And
as for the veterans of the Union
armies while many fall under the
sickle OF the Great Reaper yet body
of men contains some who are long
lived and when put up against an
individual life, although that one be
young, they will stand the best
chance to win out in the race. When
one thinks that those Mexican war
veterans grew up to manhood, then
enlisted and braved Mexican fevers
and bullets and after returning home
have lived sixty years, some OF them
serving again in the Civil War. and
that they still are stout and erect he
is amazed at the possibilities of a
