LEE C. THAYER,

Staid, Old Philadelphia Gives Evidence of Sin.

WHAT THE PREACHERS SA¥.

Same Old Story of Political Influence Controlling: Elections Prevails—Immorality Visible in All Shapes and Forms A

Parkliurst Inquiry Xeeded in the Ouakt-r City. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.—There has

perhaps never been an occasion in this city when the prevalence of vice, immorality and crime has been so prominently brought before the public as at yesterday's session of the senate investigating committee when Lawyer Pettitt resumed the inquiry into the police bureau. Evidence was given in a general way indicating that houses of ill fame, "speak easies," policy shops and opium "joints" flourish in the police districts in the slums and under the very eyes of the patrolmen with apparently but little interruption.

Rev. Dr. Gibbons, a Presbyterian clergyman, living in the slum district of the Fift-li ward, drew a most harrowing picture of the condition of things there. Immorality in all shapes and forms was openly visible, and had defied the efforts of the best citizens to stamp it out. The police, he said, were well aware of it and had said they were unable to do anything. The vicious class, he said, seemed to be protected by a powerful political influence that controlled all elections. The police openly electioneered on such occasions. He knew of policemen who had made efforts to better affairs who were discharged from the force. The same kind of testimony was given by Rev. H. L. Phillips, a colored Episcopal clergyman, as to the slum sections of the Fourth, Seventh and Eighth wards.

A general idea of the condition of things in "Chinatown," on Race street, above Ninth, was given by John Duke, janitor of Redman' hall. Opium places were abundant, gambling everywhere and Chinamen consorted with the most degraded of white women. All this under the eyes of the police. At one time, he said, 23 gambling tables were operated in this small section and $15 from each of them was laid aside each week for the police, he understood.

Eugene Lyon, a private detective, told the committee of an investigation he made as to the number of houses of illfame he had found in 13 police districts. They amounted to 639 280 were in the Eighth district, and 115 in the Sixth district. Thre.se two comprise the Philadelphia "Tenderloin."

He said Margaret Langdon, one of the keepers of a house in the Eighth district, had admitted paying Special Officer Ritchie money for protection. The woman, being placed on the stand, denied ever paying any money.

Annie Jackson, colored, said she paid Constable Jones $10 when she was arrested recently and $24 to one of the no tori' ns Poop brothers for going her bail. The committee adjourned until today.

DARDANELLES.

British and Italian Gunboats Have Passed Through. ROME, Dec. 13.—A dispatch received

here yesterday from Constantinople says that the British gunboat Dryad and the Italian gunboat Archimede passed the straits of the Dardanelles owing to a brawl at Stamboul.

A panic is said to prevail at Galata and Pera.

Scandal Monger Sentenced.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 13.—James B. Wilson, editor of the Indianapolis People, was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary and fined $250 by Judge Baker of the federal court yesterday. The paper, a weekly issue, was accustomed to writing up scandals and obscenity. Wilson wielded some influence in politics, having a following among saloon men. He was both feared and hated here. In pronouncing sentence Judge Baker characterized him as worse than a murderer.

Blown Out to Sea.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—A special to The World from Portland, Me., says: There are fears that the United States revenue cutter Woodbury has been disabled at sea. She has not been spoken since she left Rockland on the 8d inst., to patrol the coast. It is customary for the cutter to put into Portland. Many believe that she has been blown out to sea, while others are of the opinion that she was disabled or wrecked during the storm last week.

Fatal Accident.

WEST POINT, Miss., Dec. 13.—Captain George F. Coleman, who was killed by falling from a Baltimore and Ohio train near Mitchell, Ind., was, until recently, a resident of West Point. Captain Coleman was one of the most prominent hardware merchants in the state but met with severe financial reverses. He was on his way to Philadelphia when the accident occurred.

SCRANTON, Pa., Dec. 18.—E. P. Duff, a Philadelphia traveling salesman, was found dead in his room in the Westminster hotel yesterday afternoon. One two-ounce laudanum bottle empty was found on the floor, while another bottle filled was found in his overcoat pocket.

A 1)1 wardt Lectures to a Small Audienco Against the Jews. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Herman Ahl-

wardt, who recently came to this country to lecture in opposition to the Jews, made his first appearance at Cooper Union last night. An admission fee of 50 cents was charged, and this served to turn many people away who went to the hall out of curiosity. Less than 300 people 'heard the lecture. Many of those present were not in sympathy with the speaker and frequently interrupted him with hisses and groans. Ahlwardt argued that while the Jews produced nothing, they managed to live well upon the labors of others, and were in consequence a burden to the rest of the world. The lecture teemed throughout with denunciations of tiie Jews.

AXIOMS FOR YOUNG WOMEN.

From the masculine point of view,, writes Walter Besant in London Queen," one would beg young ladies to consider the following axioms:

First.—A girl cannot expect a man to be made on purpose for her. Second.—A girl who cherishes an Ideal man that is half a woman courts certain unhappiness.

Third.—Every feminine gift has Its masculine counterpart, and they are never the same. Therefore a girl should look for unlikeness—not likeness.

Fourth.—Ihe "friendship of chums" can never be arrived at by the man trying to become a woman or by a woman trying to become a man.

Fifth.—The happiest marriages are those» which develop and intensify the mental distinctions duo to sex—not effaco them.

Sixth.—In love and marriage it is the ideal which awakens and which preserves affection.

Seventh.—Every girl should therefore find out what is the ideal wife, as commonly accepted by men of worth, and should aim at that ideal.

Eighth.—A wife's duties depend largely on the income. If a girl marries on a small income sho must not mind having to do somo of tho household work.

Ninth.—In essentials, though the new woman may bo more literary and more artistic than her mother, she can certainly do no bettor for tho good of herself and tho general happiness of the world than follow in the footsteps of the old, or former.
