The women of the Ohio crusade and the members of the Francis Murphy movement wore a blue ribbon as the badge of their teeto- talism. The women of the W. knot of white picot-edged ribbon, whose signifi- cance has been known to puzzle the student of the entire movement. It is ali very clear to the members of the W.C.T.U. locally and through- out the world. It is worn now as the badge of the organization and means total abstinence If the doors were closed upon them the | from all intoxicating beverages and a united women kneeled upon the sidewalk and prayed | effort on the part of the wearers for the entire for thoss who despitefully used them and their mission, It was a matter of uo little quiet esting among the Iadics that those of the lethodist faith were more effective workers in the street than were their sisters of the Pres- byterian persuasion, but the latter were most warmly congratulated when in some instances thi strong in public prayer. Besides praying and singing in the streets the ladies “picketed” the joons whose doors were closed to them; that is, they sat upon kegs or chairs that were brought them from neighbor- ing Offices for their comfort. One or two ladies would guard a saloon and be relieved from hour to hour, completely barricading the shop. Those who were in remained in seclu- sion und those who were out would not venture in sight to have their names put upon the list that was kept. The crusaders bad the popular sympathy. Everrbody knows something of the great good work that resulted immediately from the crusade that soon extended from Ohio into other states. Saloons were closed and the late suloonists were helped to succeed in other business. In many towns the trafic was ruined for months, and those who kept their bars abolition of their mauufacture and sale. The white ribbon does not mean simply the promo- tion of social purity aud the saving of fallen meu and women, though this is au important department of the W.C.T.U. work, but it means first and foremost and all the time un- compromising hostility to the saloon us a legal institution. It means no ill will toward saloon keepers, but a determined opposition to their business. It does not mean loyalty to the pro- hibition party, but loyalty to prohibition prin- ciples in any and all parties where such princi- ples are advocated. PROHIBITION AND WOMAN SUFFRAGE. The W. C. T. U. of this District, stand- ing upon the broad platform of prohibi- tion, te and national, promises its prayers and influence to the party that pledges to throw its power against the liquor trafic and favors giving woman the ballot that she may assist at its overthrow. And while it is auxil- iary to the National W.C.T.U. itis, with all other auxiliaries and local unions that are the asso- ciates of the auxiliaries, free in all matters of opinion upon the suffrage or uny other ques- open did so only through being supplied free from the potter emits and wholesale dealers with their stocks in trade. It was not all fair sailing for the kneeling women always. ‘They were often brutally treated; they fered cold and hunger and cruel buffetings, and were often in peril of liberty and life. Some of them received their death ailments in that Winter, but their works livedafter them. THE PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. The permanent result of the supernatural manifestation called the women’s crusade is the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. ‘Lhe women who had developed decided apti- tude and gifts for the work continued te carry on temperance meetings, distributing the ledge and working in consonance with the Y. toe and the churches, The blue ribbon of Francis Murphy was worn by the tetotalers. ‘The women began to organize into local unions, and in Cleveland, Ohio, in November. 1874, the National Women’s Christian ‘Temperance Union was organized. Mrs. Annie Wittenmyer of Philadelphia was made president and Misa Frances E. Willard of Chicago reresing secretary... The first annual meeting was hel in Cincinnati, November 17, 1875, and dele- gates from twenty-two states furnished their credentials, THE NATIONAL BODY. The National W.C.T.U. has now forty-three auxiliary state and eight territorial unions,be- sides that of the District of Columbia, It is the largest society ever composed exclusively of women and conducted entirely by them. The ledge taken by all members of the W.C.T.U. be as follows: “I hereby solemnly promise, God heiping me, to abstain from ail distilled, fermented and malt liquors, including wine, beer and cider, and to employ all proper means to discourage the use of and ic in the same.” Miss Frances E. Willardis now presi- dent of the National Union. ORGANIZED IN THE DISTRICT. The W.C.T.U. for the District of Columbia was organized in September, 1874. - The first meetings were held in the ¥.M.C.A. building, Lincoln Hall, corner of 9th and D streets. Mrs. Anna M. Linville was elected president, Mra. Noble, Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Roach were the vice presidents, Miss A. W. Kerr and Mrs, Church were secretaries to the organization, and Mrs, Bradley was the treasurer. The history of the temperance movement in this country, in Great Britainand Canada, Aus- tralia, Hawaiian Islands, New Zealand, India aud Japan, Madagascar and South Africa, has been the history of it in the District of Colum- bia—progress in all good work, advancement in ebarity for all and a fruitful growth in grace. From small beginnings in the District there are now fifteen auxiliary unions, with a member- ship of five hundred and fifty: beside there are young women’s unions and bands of hope for ‘the children, The District officers of the local union are: President, Mra, 8.

Thompson and Mrs. Blackford. “These vice presidents of the District union are the presidents of the local or auxiliary unions, and several of them are at the bead of unions composed of colored people. Some of the young women vice presidents are Miss Ida Hodgkins, Miss Lena Summy, Miss Louise Strobel, Miss Maggie Leceomk, Miss Bessie Taylor and Miss Ide Yen Sharp. SUPERINTENDENTS OF DEPARTMENTS.

How a Bond Robbery Was Perpe- petrated and the Thief Captured. A REAL DETECTIVE STORY. How a Trusted Treasury Clerk Fell— His Ingentous Method of Defranding the Government—The Way He Was ‘Tracked by Detectives and Captured. eseitiintinten NITED STATES vs. WALLACE W. WHITTLESEY. One day in March, 1866, the docket of the Criminal Court contained the above case and thereby hangs @ tale. Tue Whittlesey case was a famous one at the time and involved an attempt qn $108,000 worth of government bonds, consid le more than most people carry around except on salary Jim McDevitt, the well-known Washington detective, was the main instrument in making it possible for the case to be on the docket of the Criminal Court that snappy day in March, 1866, when most people were thinking of re- construction, or a spring overcoat, or, in short, of anything except such sums as $108,000, A TRUSTED CLERK. Whittlesey in 1865 was one of the clerks in the Treasury Department, popular with his fellow-clerks and trusted to an extraordinary degree by his superiors, His populurity, to a inne ecto peobatly coused his downfall Practically entirely in his charge was the pay- ing off of the United States bond coupons, which were sent in by mail, Whittlesey at this time, living beyond his means, spending considerable sums in nightly dissipations, having a young wife whose beauty was recognized by all aud whose extravagauces kept pace with his own, naturally in a ver short time felt a pressing need for a fres supply of the sinews of war. His first plan was to obtain what might be called loans from tne government, HI8 SCHEMF. The scheme was simple in execution, but decidedly difficult of detection. On every coupon from a $1,000 bond which came in $30 in gold, which was considerably above par, was to be paid. Whittlesey would take the coupons which arrived, for instance on Monday, cash them and appropriate the money to his own uses; when another accumulation had arrived he would likewise change them into gold and pay off the Monday’s lot. ‘ ‘This brilliant little pian was carried on for some time, the young man getting more and more behind in his payments, until at last a crash and disgraceful exposure stood staring the trusted and respected clerk in the face. A DESPERATE MOVE. The end of the borrowing business having been reached, Whittlesey determined to grasp as much as possible and depart, no doubt, as he hoped for an indefinite period. A large number of fresh bonds had just been issued, many of them to replace oid ones. The waiting man watched his sprecvenitye and when, as he thought, the bonds were ‘com- pleted, considered the time to strike had ar- id, Whittlesey asked for a leave of ab- sence, which was freely granted. Stepping immediately from his chief's room he picked up a basket containing the new bonds and calmly walked off. “A brilliant scheme! “A fortune gained! “No more desk work! “One hundred and eight government bonds! “Of with you, communication is not very easy! “Sell them in lots, each one is worth $1,000! Vhittlesey, you are a made man!” SOME MISCALCULATIONS. Fortune, however, is a young lady, and just at this point she showed how fickle she could be when she tried realhard. After having smiled for some time in her sweetest manner on the now flying man she had just jilted him in the harshest manner. The body of the bonds were incomplete, signatures were still wanted to allow them to pass the scrutinizing eye of a buyer; but wait, something is still secured from the wreck. The coupons, at any rate, are entirely finished and at ailevents can be sold. A small matter com- pared to tke fortune he had hoped for, but still not to be overlooked. INVESTIGATING THE CRIME. In the meantime the loss had been discov- eredat the treasury and prompt measures taken. Noone as yet suspected Whittlesey. He, of course, was spending his leave at some quiet country nook. Jim McDevitt and his partner at that time, John W. Clarvoe, were called inon the case. The two men went vigorously to work, but fora time no trace could be found. At length coupons from the missing bonds commenced to come to the de- partment to be cashed. These coupons usually came from banks in and around New York. ‘TRACING THE COUPONS. As soon as a coupon of this description ar- rived at the department, one or the other of the detectives would start on the often difficult task of tracing it back to the original seller. Shortly after this the Treasury officials re- ceived another scare. Two coupons arrived at the department bearing the same number. This was a serious matter, as it was at once thought that s perfect counterfeit was being issued. Finally, however, it was discovered to be another expedient of the mysterious stealer of 108 unfinished bonds. The numbers of the stolen bonds had been sent to all banks and the thiet, whoever he was, now found difficulty in disposing of the coupons. He had found it neeessary to change the numbers, and this had been done in a very clever manner. Wherever on the coupons in his possession the figure 4 appeared he had by a judicious application of acids erased the angle and left the figure a 1. The two detectives by this time had obtained by quick jumps from place to place a very fair description of Whittlesey asthe seller of the stolen coupons, Sure of the identity of the man they were after the only question was to catch him, but thie was hard matter and re- uired a shrewd and skillful detective trick. Seblgor an See an ys Scape to trace compared with the seller of those coupons, AT WHITTLESEY’S HOME. Whittlesey's wife had remained quietly at home in this city and as far as could be learned had no communication with her husband. Finally, however, she advertised the furniture in house in which she was living, on G street, opposite the Patent Office, as for sale, ‘This was thought to be a move toward Joining the missing man, and it was determined to make a new move on the enemies’ works, Clar- voe called on Mrs. Whittlesey as a possible pur- chaser of the furniture. He expressed the greatest delight with the whole outfit, but re- marked thatas she wasa married woman it would be necessary of course to deal with her husband, Mrs, Whittlesey phe oe that in that case he could never buy the furniture, as she had no idea as to her husband's whereabouts, A GOLDEN Barr, ‘The first effort in the way of securing infor- mation from the wife was therefore a dismal failure.

Municipal Reform and Presbyterian Revision Both Receiving Attention. THE MAYOR CHECKS THE LATEST ATTEMPT TO DIG UP STREETS—SQUALLS AHEAD OF THE CENSUS MAN—ATTENDING THE PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY AT SARATOGA. Correspondence of Tux Evzxro Stan. New Yorg, May 23. Long-suffering Fulton etreet has been torn up by so many companies for so many differ- ent objects that its chronic volcanic condition has become a by-word. Beneath its seamed and searred surface are so many systems of Pipes for such varied purposes that if the up- Per crust were removed the appearance pre- sented would probably be similar to that of the gentleman in the physiologies, who for the in- struction of the youthful mind poses gracefully without his skin the better to display hie com- Plicated systems of veins, arteries, muscles, &c. A new company has recently applied to the board of aldermen, no doubt with the usual substantial arguments, for permission to add another to the intricate network of pipes under this battle-scarred thoroughfare, and promptly received the desired boon from’ that generous body. But the mayor has arbitrarily stepped in with a veto for the resolution on the ground that the city gets no compensation for these privileges. He claims that such cases should be referred to the sinking fund commissioner to fix the value of the privilege and thatthe amount be paid into the city treasury. This will probably be a discourager to new companies, which may feel that alder- men came high enough, but sinking fund com- missioners may be a still more expensite luxury. HARD TIMES AHEAD FOR RXUMERATORS. Mr. Murray, the chief of the census enumer- ators, has made application at Washington for an additional allowance of clerks and enumer- ators, It is to be hoped that in selecting these assistants careful discrimination has been used, They will undoubtedly need to be men of iron resolution as well as trained athletes, for the indications are that they are going to have a pretty stormy career. Most people are more or less uncomfortably conscious of their own private and particular skeleton in the fam- ily closet, but as a rule they prefer to keep him there in genteel retirement and not get him out and rattle his bones for the benefit of a government official. A vast number of people are not sufficiently discrimi- nating to reflect that their individuality is quite lost sight of in statistics and that they are only parts of a per cent, and these superficial observers indignantly inquire what difference it can possibly make to the government if their house is mortgaged or if they themselves have chronic catarrh or are a little hard of hearing. Naturally human pature must have a vent and, as Mr. Porter himself is not get-at-able, the eas- iest course will be to take it out on the enumer- ator who cross-examines them. ‘Those who were sworn in here this week looked like able- bodied citizens, but they will need all their r sources, for their job is not what is popularly known as *‘a soft snap.” ERICS8ON’S JOURNEY HOME. In accordance with the promise made to the executors of the estate of the late John Ericsson, as well as the Swedish government, the body of the great inventor of the Monitor will be sent to his native country for burial at his birthplace. The promise was that it should be carried by the first United States vessel that went to Europe in the spring, and the in- dications a ow that the Essex will have that honor, ‘This vessel is ready for sea and while uot quite so stylishly modern as those of the squadron of evolution, she is yet a respectable and tine-looking vessel and will represent the country creditably in European waters. From an anchorage in the Hudson opposite Gen. Grant's tomb she will take part in the services of Decoration day, and will probably start on her cruise very soon after that. Jack Tar, it is well known, ig not fond of a corpse for a ship- mate, but perhaps he will waive his prejudices in favor of a hero of such a brilliant marine success as the Monitor. THE INTEREST IX REVISION. New York often scems like a heathen city, but perhaps after all it is only because of the fact that the outward manifestations of heathenism are more spectacular than those of the more religious element. At eny rate when the general ‘assembly of the Presbyterian Church held its annual session here last spring Dr. Crosby's church, in which the body met, was uncomfortably packed from the first sitting until the last and many stanch Presbyterians were turned away, for itis a mournful fact that the grace of God did not seem to make its possessor a bit better satisfied with back seats in the gallery or standing room at the rear of the church, This year the greatest interest seems to be felt in all thinking circles in the meetings of the assembly at Saratoga. Of course the revision question is the one of inter- est to most people and the assembly's action is watched with careful attention by many who are not connected with the Presbyterian church, Saratoga is so nearas to very convenient for the New York clergymen of that denomination, and almost toa man they have found it more than they could stand to scent the battle from afar and have run up to personally inspect the battle- field and so asthe: might to mings in the thickest of the fray. They all had their innings at the pro- longed discussion inthe presbytery here,where there were some notable presentations of both sides of the great subject. But each one of them is more confirmed in his own opinion from the mere fact of having formulated and committed himself to it then and is more than ever anxious to hear the intellectual giants that will speak on his side when the discussion is fairly opened at Saratoga. A WAVE OF REFORM, We are proving our Anglo-Saxon origin by indulging in one of those virtuous spasms which Macaulay said struck England about once in so often, In truth we sadly needed a little reform, and there 1s no danger that we shall overdo it. Two police captains are under the harrow, one for b! eta theatrical manager and the other for defending a notoriously disreputable resort against the wrath of the neighborhood. Then all the police force have been sworn in latoons that they bear no interest, direct or saloons. A Tam- many “leader” has been __ sentenced, though, alas, not yet sent, to the penitentiary fora frightful assault on a poor wretch who braved him, and another orna- ment of local politics is under trial for an at- tempt to gouge his enemy’s eye out. A con- certed attack has been made on the disreputa- ble resorts and several tainted neighborhoods swept with the besom of indignation. Tho big Tammany chiefs, for the moment, are enjoying @ lull, but the papers are crowded with wretched scandal about underlings. Thus it appears that the milk inspection is so impreg- mated with whisky and bribes as to give the effect of a bad milk punch, Rather a dingy chapter, this, for the metropolis, but then our historians are fond of turning its seamy side indirect, in liquor out, ICE AT HIGH PRICES, The terrifying announcement has come, as we all knew it would, that ice is to be a cent a pound, Dollar wheat is well enough, but dol- lar ice is awful, But the worm has turned, The long-expected artificial ice movement has taken aggressive shape, and under the pres- sure of Sahara prices for the natural article the company will start with hopeful prospects, THE TARIFF BILL, The passage of the McKinley bill by the House occasioned no surprise here. This step | in the struggle was not seriously contested, But now look out for squalls, If the critics of the bill don’t manage to make themselves heard and felt before the end of next week I shall lose all faith in omens, The big import- ers are loaded for b’ar, Hexrr RB.
