Cmies of m hlartliiiK Nture Hi-ought to Light by tho IViiiikj I vmil Society for the lrotec-tiou of Clillilrru. It li;irlly 8vui8 poshiblo that a man with the figure of un athlete and the j strength of a Sanihon would deliljerately wtriko a chiM of mx yearn full iu the face with all the force of his brawny fist, and, as if to make it further deplorable, tho poor, defenseless little creature, his own offspring. But such brutes exist, and this case is considered a mild one in the annals of pitiless deeds that come under tho notice of the Pennsylvania Society for the Protection of Children from Cruelty. At tho society's new home Mr. Crew, the enthusiastic secretary and prime mover in all the good work done, in a conversation yesterday unfolded experi ences such as would apjiear to belong to the times when torture was a recognized mode of pnnishment for old and youug. Some of the cases would put to blush even tho most cruel practices of those olden days, and yet they are occurring daily hero in Philadelphia, and the victims one and all are children. To the parents who regard tho treasures in their homes as tho most priceless boon that heaven ever bestowed, and whoso every thought is for the care and com fort of their little ones, this society pecu liarly apiieals. How a mother's heart will bleed if through accident or disease a little son or daughter must endure tho pangs of buffering, and if punishment must be in flicted it falls more heavily on the parents than on the little offenders. Yet there are mothers, and fathers, too, who somehow seem to have been given tho children, but the love that comes with the lirst weak cry has never found a place iu their hearts. To them they are a burden, a constant source of annoy ance, and only fit to slave and toil, ami as their reward receive cuffs and kicks, sciirs and braises. A CHAMBER OF nOKUORS. In their new building the society has secured a long felt want. Sujiplied with every convenience and many comforts it must appear a veritable haven of refuge to the little waifs that are rescued from the streets or out of the clutches of the inhuman monsters they call father and mother. In a room set apart for the purpose is a collection of straps, whips, bludgeons, knives and chains, an asortment worthy of a chamber of horrors, yet each one has been taken from the hands of some fiend in human form, and bears a history that seems almost iurprobable in this city of homes. A heavy chain, thirty inches long and weighing from four to six jiounds. with links strong enough to secure some wild beast, was taken from around the neck of a frail little boy, whose case had been reported to the society by outsiders, who heard the child's cries at the torture inflicted. His little sister, frightened at the ter riblo punishment, attempted to escape by crawling under the table.. The in human father ceased from beating the boy and turned his attention to the littlo girl. He dragged her out by the arm, then holding her by the ankles he thumped her head up and down on the Moor until the child became unconscious. When the officers of the society arrived at tho house it was discovered that the child's wrists ami ankles were broken anl she had to be at once removed to the hospital. AX I Nil I'M AX MOTHER., Another case in which a woman and a mother figures is one of the most heartless instances on record. A long, cruel knife elicited the history, and for cool, hard hearted indifference it has no equal. A woman with her three chil dren, living in one of the worst sections down town, reveled in all sorts of vice and wickedness and regarded her little ones as obstacles standing in her way. Of a very excitable and ungovernable disposition at all times, she was, when under the influence of drink, a veritable fury, and had frequently beaten them with heavy clubs, bludgeons of wood with protruding nails, and, in fact, any thing she could lay her hands on, until their bodies and faces were in the most fearful condition. Not content with this, she turned them out in the streets one bitter win ter's day insufficiently clad, and too ter ror stricken to attempt to return. Neigh bors saw them and warned her that unless she speedily gave them shelter complaint would lie made against her. Owing to this threat she took them in, but only to vent redoubled fury on the already half dead children. That night one little chap, worn out with the trials of his lot and exhausted by lack of food and ill treatment, fell into a sleep only to be rudely awakened by heavy blows because he breathed too loud. The final act which brought her before the magis trate was that of stabbing her little girl because she asked for a piece of sugar. On being brought up for examination he expressed no regret for what she had done, but said she hoped the child would die, as it would only take fifteen dolhirs to bury her. and she' would be through with -the brat."

Oplaaa Saaaggted Within a Iaad Bady. A remarkable smuggling story is ro tated by a reliable resident of National City, Cal. According to the story m corpse was brought across the line from Mexico, ostensibly to bo shipped to rela tives in San Francisco. It was not exam ined very closely, as the mourners would have resented too close an inspection of the dead body, but the informant hap pened to be there and his curiosity was aroused. He therefore investigated. No sooner was the solemn procession well away from the line than it changed its course, and instead of going toward San Diego went rapidly toward the east, climbed the hills until it reached Otay mesa, and stopied at a house where the coffin was taken in. It was by this time growing dark, and the jierson who was following it was puzzled how to continue his investigations. He rode boldly up to the corral and put up his horse. The occupants of the house were too busy to notice his arrival. Ho then walked to the house and looked through the win dow cautiously. He saw tho whole crowd of mourners busily engaged in taking out small tin boxes of opium from the cadaver and piling them on the table. The observer, feeling that he al ready knew too much for his own good, and fearful of detection, went quietly to the corral, saddled his broncho and de parted. He knows the names of the parties, but will not disclose them. Ho said. however, that the procession was com posed of Mexicans, but the house where the supposed corpse was taken belonged to an American. Cor. Portland Orego- A rurenllesH Nest Full. The passengers on the 7:20 western bound passenger train of the Pennsyl vania railroad Friday evening had their hearts moved by a most touching sight. Huddled together in two of the train seats, facing one another, were eight lit tie children, the eldest not yet in her teens and the youngest a tiny balw. which opened its eyes to tho light on Christmas day. These poor little onej were all brothers and sisters, but father less and motherless, left adrift thus ear ly in their lives without a single rela tive, save one in fat off India, whither they were Injund. The birth of the little babe Christmas morn had proven the death of its moth er. The anguish stricken father, a poor mechanic named Robert Graham, turned from the sad bedside a heartbroken man. His sense of the overwhelming responsibility thus imposed upon him combined with his great grief to pros trate him, and from the severe fever which ensued he never recovered. New Year's day his silent remains were borne to the gravevaid and laid to rest beside those of his wife. But for the charity of a kind hearted neighbor the eight little orphans must have fared very ill in their lonely state. This neighbor learned of the where abouts of the relative in India, corre sponded with him and left with the little ones last Friday. Philadelphia Record. Built His Own Church. The new Hovey Avenue Baptist church building is a handsome one, for which its pastor, J. C. Jacob, is entirely re sponsible. A year ago he began to agi tato the building of the structure, but meeting only with rebuffs he decided to go ahead with the construction. Accordingly he begged the lumber from prominent firms of the city, and with his o-vs-n hands laid the foundations and erected the superstructure. Six days out of seven for nearly six months past he has toiled earljr and late on tho structure. With his own hands he ha3 painted the entire building, and his own ingenuity is responsible for the beauti ful inferior finish of butternut, syca more and black ash. Though the prop erty as it stands is worth nearly $5,000. the cash out' ty by the church has been less than 1,000. Muskegon (Mich.) Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean. A lirave Pilot. Captain John Stout, a Mississippi pilot, died recently in New Orleans. His life was distinguished by several acts of bravery. He was at the wheel of the steamer Robert E. Lee when she was burned at Yucatan plantation, in 1882. On that occasion he saved a score of lives by remaining at the wheel and holding his boat to the bank. He re mained on the blazing vessel until the very last moment, and only escaped by sliding down the log chain. Captain Stout was on board the steamboat J. W. White when she was burned above Bayou Sara in 1886,' and jumped over board to escape the flames. He was picked up almost lifeless. Philadelphia Ledger. ' When the Men Were Saved. A small Victoria trading sloop was water logged, her mast having fallen through her bottom, in a recent blow off Cape Flattery. Wash. Some Indians went off to the boat, but refused to take the men off until they agreed to give t he Indians all the contents f the sloop, wh'ch they did, and the red men then towed her into Cape Beal. The Port Angeles Tribune calls the Indians along that coast regular freebooter sharks. A Sevtn-Year-Olil Hero. Des Moines has a veritable hero seven years old, named joim tireen. l lie four-year-old daughter of Senator Lewis was playing in a neigboriug yard, and while crossing a cistern the larls broke and dropped her into seven feet of water, ten feet from the top. Green was near and plunged in after her and held himself and child above water until help came, which was not for fif teen minute. Exchange. ' " PLACES OF WORSHIP Tha Interest oa Twenty Dollars.
