CHICAGO, Dec 20.-Jack, the hair cutter,
has swooped down on Chicago at last. He
has come with his shears and supreme
nerve His first exploit here was recorded
yesterday morning. when he invaded
the home OF pretty Mrs. Stomer. at 6lS
North Lincoln street. and after a fierce
light choked her into Inconsistencies and
then stripped her OF her splendid brown
hair. Mrs. Stomer's husband, who is a
plumber, left home to go to work about 2
O'Clock. Ten minutes after he had gone a
tall stranger, whose features were partly
hidden by the broad brim of SLOUGH hat,
rang the door-bell and Mrs. Stomer, who
answered the summons, admitted him to
the parior, thinking he had some business
to transact.
The Rape of tho Locks.
The instant the fellow was inside he
seized Mrs. Stomer by the throat with
both hands and choked her. Unable to
make an cutlery that would bring assis-
lance, the plncky little woman fought
desperately with her hands and feet until
her strength failed, and she fell TO the
floor unconscious. When she was awak-
ened fifteen minutes later she was lying
on the floor and several women of the
neighborhood We're bending over her, anx-
iously watching for signs of returning ami
nation. Her beautiful brown hair, which
was her pride and the envy of her female
acquaintance, was gone
Almost Scsiped the Woman.
The stranger had cut it off close the
scalp. and in his hurry and anxiety TO get
the tresses had sent the keen blades of his
shears into the flesh in n number of
places, leaving wounds, which were bleed
ing freely Mrs. Stomer when she saw
herself in looking glass nearly
tainted at the sight. The meta
morphosis was as complete as q pair OF
shears welded by rufiian could make il.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20-Speaking of 'Un

Century clubs symposium in the assem-
bly, rooms of the Metropolitan opera
honse Thursday night, Theodore Roose-
welt said: ''Mr. Ward McAllister has

1t Is true that the typical man Of the

they are drawn. IL would be better to
draw material for great nation from
them than from the class typified by the
Four Hundred As Mr.. McAllister's con-
stituency was well represented these senti-
ments were applauded with discretion.
Later on Roosevelt turned his attention to
Henry James and other Americans who
live abroad. He classified them with the
Pennsylvania Dutch, as neither fish, flesh
or fowl. He said: II see undesirable peo-

Roosevelt; "but we have the right to de-

Vybec the rennblican Il oislsture In 90

When the republican legislature In 1881
gerrymandered the congressional districts
Of the state. 1t supposed the Eleventh
Illinois was one of the districts
which would rcmain steadfastly repub-
licsn for the ensuing ten years. The re-
publican legislature was justified in
such belief. too, as on presidential vote
the counties comprising the district gave
several thousand republican majority at
the November election preceding. and
has continued republican on like vote
ever since. But the intent and ambition
OF the gerry Wanderers failed Of realiza>
ton in three Of the five congressional
elections in 1882, IA and 90.
The spport:onment question is again
up for consideration. Fortunately for
the democrats. they win control the
next Legislature and will then be able
10 correct the past republican abuses by
redistricting The state in an impartial
manner. While republican precedent
would amply justify retaliation OF par
tissn spportionment, it is most unlikely
that the democratic legislature will restort
10 such questionable methods. A plau.
however, should he formulated. that will
reduce the ungsinly proportion of some
Of the districts, and equslize their area
without undue regard for their political
complexion. The Quincy Herald thinks
it is probable that Adams county will be
attachedt to this district, where it natar
ally belongs. 90 this subject IL says;
In the coming reapportionment of con
gressional districts by congress and
the redistricting of the state by the legis-
lsture. IL is possible that Adams county
will be detached from Pike, and the
counties 10 the south and east, and Joined
10 the Rock Island district TO the north.
