No groater peril than that of allowing
young girls to bo out at unreasonable
hours of tho night, of permitting girls
just out ot thoir teens to promenado
alono or in couples in nny part of tho
town uttor nightfall, could possibly bo
conceived, bocuuso it oubjocts them to
possiblo insults nnd innuendoes from
which ovory right minded parent should
strivo to shiold them. Thoro is neithor
prudery nor ulToction in striving to shiold
girls from tho taint of the etroots uftor

cuuso it is then thnt snuros uro sot for

Thoro nro men (?) who raguitl it u good

Washington. April 10. Senator Pottl
grew of South Dakota, accompantU
his wife, will leave Wednesday forJgyf
rope, expecting to be absent until rmy.
Tho senator Is still of tho opinion that
tho proposed International monetary
conference will accomplish nothing, be-
CHuee tho attitude of England will be
opposed to a change. He said: "I think
It a mlstnko for tho United States to
hnvo manifested nny desiro for such a
meeting. 1 nm one of those who be
lieve there Is n big advantage to be
Kalned by the United States In Inaugu
rating n policy ot free coinage of silver
nlone, nnd I fear the effect of the con
ference, If one be held, will be to dull
Intercut In the question, and thus In
jure the cause here."
