Streets Late at Night.

Mrs. Joseph McHenery of the
Salvation Army of Mishawaka last
night gave an address at the first NJ.
+. church, under the suspicious of
the Salvation Army, on the White
Slave traffic. Hire talk was very
impressive to the fathers and
mothers, begging the parents to keep
their daughters off the streets at
night. She said it wasn't the bum
in rags that wins the affections
of our daughters but it was the boy
supposed to be of high standard
the one that wears his hat on his
ear. cuffs on the bottom of his
pants and cigarette in his mouth
these are the ones the mother must
watch.
: Let us keep our daughter off the
streets late at night. she said until
they are strong and able to shield
themselves from the devils in sneeps
clothing.
Mrs. McHenery has spent many
wears in this great work of rescu-
ing fallen girls. and has been the
means of leading many poor fall
en- girl to a better life. This work
among the fallen girls is one of the
great features of the Army work

AT last genuine start has been
made by Plymouth toward the
tungsten street lighting. Ever since
this so-called Mishawaka system
was first agitated by Chas. Reynolds
a few wears ago. more or less talk
has been INDUCED in about these
lights. but nothing was ever done ex
eept the putting in of posts and
lights by Mr. Reynolds and the
Trust Company bank.
At every opportunity Mr.. Reynolds
has talked in favor Of the tungsten
street lighting and his constant
hammering has no doubt had some
influence.
The result is that now a real
system Of lights bave been arranged
for on north Michigan street on
both sides from Jackson street on
the north to Madison on tn, south.

Governor Declines to Inter- fere Further. H. Pierce Was Hanged at Ashdown Today.

Ashdown, April PIT h e governor having declined to in. terfere further, Henry Pierce, a white man, was hanged here today by Sheriff A. T. Collins on the charge of murdering his wife near Foreman, October ', last.
 His trial began November 20, and on December ,, he was sen fenced to be hanged January 2S.
 Application was made to Gov. Donaghey for communication of life sentence, but he was too busy then to make an investiga- tion, and granted a reprive for ninety days. This time expired today, and Pierce met his fate on the gallows. Even the plea of Pierce's little daughter that her fathers lie be spared dld not convince the governor that he should interfere.
 Pierce confessed to killing his wife, but pleaded self defense, saying that his wife was advanc. ing upon him with a scale-weight when he shot her through the head with a shot gun, killing her instantly. He also charged his wife with unfaithfulness.
