Two Versions of an Assault Case--The
Man Held.
Henry Hoff, of No. SIG Grove street, was
arraigned before Justice Stilsing this
morning charged with attempting to as
sault Mrs. Dorethea Schuman, of No. 219
Provost street, on Saturday night last.
Mrs. Schuman. who is said to be a rather
prepossessing middle aged woman, was
not in court this morning. Ia hav-
ing the warrant issued for Hoff's
arrest she testified that Hoff offered her
inducements to become his mistress;
that as foreman of u gang of men en-
pioyed at the Hudson River tunnelh he had
sent for her TO come to his house. and
promised her that he would secure for her
husband a better job if she would comply
with his solicitations. When he found
her obstinate she said he attempted to
assault her. To s~ubstantiate her charges
she produced a dress waist that was liter
ally torn to shreds-in the scufle she
said.
In reply to her charges Hoff has made
he following afidavit:-
Il, Henry Hoff, make oath and swear

at five p. m. There was no one at home
at this time, and Mrs. Schuman made
advances to me, asking me to lend
her ten dollars that her husband
was no good, and that he was sick,
and did not give her any money. She
then said she wanted to start II boarding
house, and wanted the money to start
with. She commenced then to sit on my
knee, and tried to get me to forget myself
with her, but IN finding she could not get

"She asked me to get some beer, and l
did SO, when she drank four to five glasses
and then commenced to make advances. /"
Hoff was seen by a JERSEY CITY News
reporter after the adjournment of court.
He refused to say anything beyond what
he swears to In his affidavit.
There was no formal investigation, but
he was held in the sum of $500 on the
of assault and battety.

Making Beds for Sick Patients.

tress not too hard, and, if possible, on
a single bed. Cover over with a sheet,
tucking in well; then across the bed
| put O. piece of rubber oil cloth, about
a yard wide and long enough to tuck
in each side; then | take a sheet, fold
it once in half lengthwise and place it
lengthwise over the rubber cloth.
tucking it in ON n side. This leaves
more than is necessary to tuck in on
the other side, so | draw tight across,
and the surplus fold flat and put un-
der the mattress. This / call a draw
sheet, and should be placed so as to
come we'll under the patients hips, so
that in using the bed pan, in case of
a mishap, the under sheet will not get
wet. Now, If the draw sheet should
get soiled or wet / untuck it. and
being over a piece of rubber cloth it
will slip very readily.

and draw my patient to the edge of
the bed. Then go to the opposite
side, take out the folded part and
smooth it out. The surplus sheet in

hands press down the mattress. NV
patient turns over; he is on a clean
sheet and without being lifted. /
then go to the other side Of the bed
and fold in the same manner as before
| had done the surplus clean portion.
Ii there is any odor, or it is at all
soiled, l put a clean n on. In
that case before turning my
patient pin to either
one of the sides of the soiled
sheet my clean one, tuck it in and
fold, taking under my patient as before
described. Often the patient is living
at the side of the bed. In that case he
is moved only once.

NINE. BarrIos.

Nine. Barrios, widow of the we'll
known Central American dictator,
who was killed a few years ago in a
revolution, says the Denver NeacS, is
not yet thirty-ive years of age, is the
mother of even children and is worth
81, 000, 900.
She is II Of the prettiest women in
Washington and New York, and is of
a dark, South American type that is
rare in this northern climate. Her
story is filed with romance.
The dictator, Barrios, who was then
nearly forty years old, caught sight of
her one day when she was in her four
teenth year.
She had reached that sudden de-
velopment which comes to girls of the
South soon after they reach their
teens. Barrios was inspired with a
sudden passion and demanded her
hand.
The girl rebelled, her parents OBJ
jected, and the lady was whisked off
to a mountain convent.
The dictator's next move was to
clap the lovely senorita's father into
Jail and to inform him that he would
remain there till his pretty daughter
became Nine. Barrios.
The senorita suddenly reappeared
and was welded with great pomp to
her hardy wooer.
Barrios fell head over heels in love
with his bride and began investing in
property in the United States and
France against a rainy day.

Alice K. Ives, Crank and Mischief
Maker.
A mischievous crank in petticoats,
who may be a very famous crank in
deed, but whom, we confess, we never
heard of before, has been permitted
to write a foolish article for the Sep
TENDER number of the Forum. Her
name is Alice E. Ives. and she seems
to be on the whole an even more in
furious person than Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps, who is only a ridiculous old
maid.
Here is a specimen of Miss--she
must be Miss Ives reflections on
married life:-
Men who are rated as honorable, upright citi :
Gems, dealing justly with their fellow men, will,
when q question OF money comes up, treat their
wives, the mothers of their children, with less
honesty than they do the tax assessor, and with
much less consideration than they do their
office boys. The children, when not granted a
certain weekly allowance, are tipped oc-
casionally, but nothing goes to the wife without
some haggling, duplicity or humiliation on her
part. Let it be understood that reference is
made solely to the pitiable state Of things
which so widely prevails In the disburs-
Ing OF moneys In the household, and the wife's
kAAF&to . al tuSbtuc6.-fOE twenty
years Mrs. Brown had been q faithful wife and
mother, a prudent, industrious housekeeper,
and o woman much beloved and respected by
oil her friends. MI. Brown was rated as q pros
porous business man, and as generous as most
mon. But all this time Mrs. Brown had no
money that she could absolutely call her own.
The credit system prevailed, and il by any UNI
usual means q piece of money passed into her
unaccustomed palm it had TO be scrupulously
accounted for to the chancellor of the domestic
exchequer. She was a long suffering woman,
but her soul had chafed and worn
against the yoke till it was sick and sore.
Still, she had too much self-respect. even under
these degrading conditions, to whe edle, lie, or
descend to small deceptions to gain her ends,
and she abhorred a scene" as much as any
man living. So the little gifts she felt like send
ing to o friend, the few flowers to an invalid, the
Bit OF damask to cover a chair seat, or the small
surprise for the children, had to be passed by
with sometimes q rising lump in her throat,
In private. Still, she made no remonstrance
She was proud in a certain way, and she be-
heved the existing state Of things irrevocable.
1t seems to us that to exploit a
statement of this kind as a true repre-
y~entation of married life is to commit
\ social and moral crime.

Lounge Language.

It is quite easy to judge of a per-
sons character by the way she uses
the multifarious lounge pillows in
vogue at present. If a person comes
in, sits carefully down with a worried
look behind her at the pillows,
cautiously sinks back in some space
between them and avoids them with
her elbows, beware of such a person.
She will have prune sauce and
toast for lunch and won't let
your dog come into the YES
thule; her husband will walk six
blocks to avoid two horse car fares
and go with his wife dry goods shop
ping. But the people who sink back
with a sigh of satisfaction into the
pillows, put there for that purpose,
who will get one behind the spine,
another behind their head and n
under each elbow, and beam in com
fort at you from their midst, are all
around good people, and not to be
scratched off the ticket.-MaSS Mean
