Warning to Girls The 'Methodist Herald' has the follow- ing timely words in regards to the dan- gers encountered by young girls who go alone to the great cites in the search of ethployment: "At a meeting of the preachers of all the denominations held in St. Paul re- cently, a-,notiee was passed calling the eioa df the pastor oty Minnesota- an neighboring states t " o the danger of allowing young women and girls to come to these large cities unattended. Such girls are met an the train by some man or woman who claims to know their friends or else promises to take them to some good hotel, or to get work for them.' If a girl comes to the depot alone and her friends are not there to meet her, some man steps up and asks her if she is looking for friends. If so, he states that he is sent to look after her or will take her to them. The young girl does no; know what to do. The man is assiduous in his attentions and she goes with him. The ' wine room, the cheap hotel, the bawdy house, are the steps to her ruin. It is probable that some of these tales about being deceived are made up, but enough are genuine to justify widely published warnings to all young girls and their parents of this danger. There is not a girl above eight or ten years old in either of these large cities that ought not to be warned repeatedly in refer ence to going with any strange man or woman anywhere. If parents are either toe ignorant or thoughtless to give attention to this matter, ministers and the public press ought to speak of it occasionally as a warning to both parents and children.

Winghani During the past week petitions have been circulated through- out thetown and have been signed by nearly everone, praying that in case. the men Harrison, Manse, and Phippen are found guilty of manslaugher, they will be dealt leniently with by His Lordship Chief Justice Meredith.
