Vet Another Brutal Crime.
4 CoLoREp BOYS ATTEMPT TO oUrRAGEA COL


A CCIORED BOZ 9 ATTEMPT To OOThA0b COL-
ORED GIRL.
This morning Officers SaffeIl and McGraw,
Of the second police precinct, arrested col
ored boy named Robert Herbert, on the charge
of attempted rape on the person of a rather
delicate looking cOlOred girl named Mary Z.
Wilmington, who is about II years of age.
The circumstances of the case as recited by the
officers and mother of the girl are that about
u o'clock on the 9th instant, this young brute
entered the house of the mother OF the girl, on
the corner of list and K streets, during her
absence to look after some washing and seized
the girl by the waist, dragged her into a closet
keeping his hand tightly over her mouth to
smother Outcries. During the hard struggle to
OverpOwer her, she screamed and alarmed
three smaller children who were playing in the
yard. Altogether such turmoil was made as
to arouse an old cOlOred woman, Kate JOhr .
son, living next door who rushed in. Herbf ft
finding himself discovered, escaped to- the
county. A report of the case was made al
once to the station house. The Officers named
mounted their horses and pursued the fugitive
ont as far as Montgomery county, Nd, where
he took to the pines and the officers lost sight
of him. The mother of the girl knowing that
the rascal had an uncle living in the country
set to work and succeeded in giving the officers
clue which led to his arrest this morning
Herbert did not deny the indecent assault
and said it was his purpose to keep clear OF
the District. He lives in the nejghbOrhOOd of
the mother OF the girl and took advantage OF
her absence. 1t is not thought that he accom-.
piSheI his purpose, but he does not DENY his
intention nor the assault.
when The officers arrested Herbert this
morning there was large crowd of cOlOred
persons assembled about the station house.
and the Keeling ran SO high that precautions
had to be used to keep the indignant cOlOred
people from taking summary vengeance on
the prisoner; lynching being openly advocated.
In the Police Court, to-day, he was committed
to Jail for hearing.

There is something frankly cynical in the
excuse which is sometimes advanced for
women who do not choose to leave their faces
as Heaven has made them. 1t is argued that
woman should take a wide view of her good
on the whole: She will find on reflection, that
her good on the whole is husband. Now, the
attainment OF good is cOnfessedly duty, and
to look nice is the readiest way of arriving at
this particular perfection. Some people do
not look nice they are pale, have bad figures,
is not becoming. To such persons the advice
to paint, dye, and pad the dress is advanced,
as counsel of perfection. just as novice
with vocation might be advised to under
take all sorts of holy tasks, to be meek, self
denying, pious, Soa young lady whose voca-
alter her figure and change the fashion of her
race The whole argument is an excellent
proof that the character of theories depends
on their ideal. Women who think husband
the end and aim of life, will be just as scrupu-
lOuS as men whose motto is rem, QltOcuT,9ue
nodO rem. The is a practical hitch in the
doctrine, even if we set aside moral cOnsidera-
tons. Men may be more ready to marry pretty
girls than plain ones as a general rule, but
they are also more ready to marry plain girls

earnestly recommend the measure, that over
