thusiasts will regret to learn of the
death of Joe Hood of Boston, known
in sporting circles as the champion
trick and fancy billiard and pool shot
of the world, dropped dead at the
home of his sister at Roxbury, Friday
night. Hood at one time held the
New England amateur billiard cham
pionship. He first gained prominence
in the amateur pool tournaments held
in Boston and later branched out in
the fancy shot line. Mr.. Hood gave
exhibitions, some years ago, in MANY
Maine cities, and delighted those who
saw him, by his exhibitions of fancy
shooting.

Stop the Street Walking.

Here is a notion from far west eX-
change, in whose city women have or
ganized philanthropic society for the
purpose of providing a working girls
protective home, the plan at present
including the cooperation of 1000 girls
who earn their living. When the new
home is opened it viii include free
employment office, sewing department,
cafe and laundry. Girls in all occupa
tons, without regard to nationality or
religion, will be invited to join.
Really seems worth while, doesn't it?
Now why not carry it little farther
and cultivate the habit of persuading
girls who parade the streets every
night, to go TO respectable places
Even IN some of our small New Eng
lana cities, men who are in position to
know declare they are shocked at what
they may see in our best cities, any
evening. Young girls exchange vul-
gar and profane badinage with buns
and roues in ali stages of intoSication.
They encourage bold familiarities and
rapidly lose sense of propriety and
honor. Not only that they encourage
unwholesome judgment of the quail
ties and refinement of their sex in the
minds Of clean young men who behold
such scenes.
One of the most degrading evils OF
our social fabric is the tolerated ex-
ploitation of girls upon our public
