MEANT MURDER.
A Lone Woman's Desperate Struggl
With Cowardly Burglar.

A Lone Woman's Desperate Struggle
With a Cowardly Burglar.
"If you come in here FL shoot you," was
the remark Of Mrs. Martha a. Rogers. wife
of Ira t. Rogers of Bordentown, on Friday,
to Wesley Lansing, a desperate who had
broken up the door of her residence.
You will. will you?" he exclaimed as he
rushed in and grappled with her. He was
big strong man and she weak woman,
and he soon succeeded in wrestling the gun
from her grasp.
Il have made up my mind to kill you and
rob your house." said the brute as he put
bis hands around her throat aud commenced
to choke her.
Murder! murderv' she shrieked at the
top Of her voice and as only frightened
woman can scream.
There was q rush of feet and two men
entered the front door.
Seeing he was likely to be captured he
picked up the gun, intending to make a
desperate resistance. On second thought,
however, he quickly closed the inner door
and hurried out the back way.
There he goes!" exclaimed Mrs Rogers,
and tainted dead away.
The two neighbors made rush after the
retreating rascal, and were soon joined in
the chase by number of others.
The City Marshal, who happened to be
coming from his office, saw the man coming
on dead run, followed by fiercely Yell
ing crowd, pulled his revolver and halted
the villain. Not, however, without a strug-
gle was he arrested. He was taken to the
lookup. Meanwhile kind-hearted neigh
bors went TO Mrs. Rogers relief. and by the
application OF rest0ratives soon brought her
round. In little while she was taken to
the lookup and confronted with Lansing.
That is the man." she said. "See what
he did" and she exposed her neck where
his two great hands had encircIed it in his
attempt to strangle her.
What have you to say?" asked the JUS
tice.
Nothing" was the reply.
" He stole lot of jewelry." said Mrs.
Rogers.
He was searched and the missing jewelry
found upon him.-Philadelphia Item.

things an upright and God-fearing man,
even as King Hezekiah was. His prin-
eiple was An for God; not to
me, but to thy name" In all his
worldly dealings Mr.. Mccormick was
Innocent, child-like and honest; manly in
defense of his church and the right; lamb
like at all times. He had enjoyed the SUI
preme delight of raising a family in the
same principles which had guided his own
life. Even though removed from the active,
living world for year past martyr to his
intirmity, unable TO leave his chair, unable
even TO lie down, he had died in harness,
ana one of the latest and noblest of his edi-
torials was penned under these circum-
Stances-a mastery treatment of the en-
cyelical. Such an example is worthy for all
men to follow.
ENJOYING HIS REWARD.
Turning reyerenty toward the casket, on
which the candles burned brightly, like
taper fingers pointing beavenward, the
preacher intimated bis firm conviction that
the soul of Stephen j. Mccormick was even
then enjoying the beatifc visions of an On
nlpotent God revealed in the Apocalypse
He had fought the good fight; he had fin
ished the course; he had kept the faith"
chbishop Riordan, having changed his
robe and assumed the inter, sprinkled and
censed the casket and pronounced the abso-
lntion. The congregation then dispersed to
the strains of Chopin's Farewell March, ,"
and the remains were removed to Holy
Cross Cemetery for interment

THE PANEGYRIC.
The pall-bearers and friends took their
places in the front row of seats immediately
in rear of the casket. After the usual
requiem mass had been celebrated Father
James Rooney of the Dominicans assembled
the pulpit and delivered a Danegyric on the
deceased from the familiar words of st.
Paul to Timothy: II have fought the good
fight; l have finished the course; L have
kept the faith"
In the course OF his remarks the preacher
said: From whatever point of view death
may be considered it is most advantageous
TO the pious man. 1t delivers him from the
burdens of life, from the evil examples he has
had to contend with, from his struggles
with human passions. The most glorious
result of Christian life is to be able to an
swer at the supreme moment, What shall
be able to separate me from my God? Is it
persecution, or famine, OF peril, password ?"
I GU can easily perceive the trouble we
have TO endure in this place of exile, this
land of misery.
After contrasting the glorious departure
OF soul at peace with God, the preacher
drew melancholy word picture of the man
who has striven by all means to achieve
worldly success, yet is forced to ask him
sell the bitter scriptural question: "What
advaEtageth it a man if he shall gain the
Nhoie WoIlu ana 1853 his own s0ul?"
Death is terrible to a man who is brought
face 10 face with his Maker and knows
that he is not ready to give an account of
his stewardship.
UPRIGHT AND COOPERATING.
The case of King Hezekiah furnished the
preacher with an apt illustration of the
career of the deceased journalist. Citing
the reply of St Chrysostom to an Empress
who sought to terrify him, Il fear only one
thing-to offend my God" the preacher said

What VIII Be Their Final Action on
Saturday Night?
The Joint Committee, n. S. G. W., will
meet on Saturday evening, the I'D inst, to
take final action regarding the annual ex-
cursion of the order. At the meeting on
Thursday night number of delegates re-
Trained from voting, not having received in
structions from their parlors. Before the
next meeting, however, each parlor will
have had an opportunity TO instruct its rep
resentative. The Exempt Firemen, who
were invited by the citizens of Santa Cruz
to parade with the Native Sons on Admis-
sion day, have declined the invitation and
decided to parade with the San Francisco
parlors, in whatever place the latter may
select.
Stanford Parlor adopted resolution at
its meeting last evening declaring that in
view of the fact that its Celebration Com
mittee has entered into a number of con-
tracts from which it cannot withdraw, and
that it is the earnest desire of the Santa
Cruz parlors that the celebration be held in
that town, therefore the parlUr will attend
the celebration at Santa Cruz as originally
intended, and its Celebration Committee
was instructed to continue the preparations
for the accommodation Of the parlor's men,

To-Day's Game.

In to-day's game BALI and Hoffman will
do the pitching with Hurley and Spies for
baekstors. Spies was pretty we'll dis
gusted with the pitchers he had yesterday.
but with Hoffman in the box the team has
better show for success. 1t is probable
that two or three Of the released Sacramento
players will be taken back into the team,
and when Bowman and the new pitchers
arrive the McCloskey- McGuirk combination
will be in 1t once more. The new owners
are rustlers. and all they ueed is time
enough to get the players here.

Sir Richard steele buried in ST. Peters Church
Carmarthcn. in september, 1929 in a vault when
already contained the remains OF two members OF MS
wife's family: but it has only just come TO my
know ledge that few years ago this vault was opened
and all that remained OF the famous esSyist was seen
bv various persons The facts IN this letter were
supplied To me by Mr.. T. T.. Brigstocke, OF Caf
marthen eye witness.
In July 1875. workmen were taking mp the hags IN
the COn.story Court at st. Peters IN order tt they
might be eyelled before being covered over with en-
calIstlc tllcs-an Improvement paid for by Mr. Dawes
who at the same time erected a tablet In steeles

cOf.us-thOSe OF the ScurlOcks-were Observed under
ncafh The then vicar, on hearing OF tile discovery
had the scull removed 10 the vestry, and caused a
small eaden coffin inscribed with steele's name, TO
be made for IT, This small coffin containing the skull
was then put back in the vault the remainder OF The

small was well preserved. and some OF the teeth still
tied down under the remains of periwg with a silk
hand running back from the forehead. The

accounted for here as it can in Hungary by verse
structure. but il can be found in the specimens
of African music which have got into the books
of travel Unfortunately again In this feature
the contribution of DIR. Fewkes and Mr.. Gilman
is defective, since the words of the songs are
omitted. A study of the text Of the last of the
songs. the "Shi-vo-la," or Buffalo Song as Ut.
Fewlees calls IT, would probably disclose the rea-

rhythmical figure is looming up formidaoly In the
study of fok-music. Only few weeks ago n
paper was read before the Musical Association
in London in which it was described as The

In his account of the ruins In the Zuni Reserva-
ton, DR.. Fewhes has raised some difficulties IN
the way of the plausible hypothesis set forth by
Professor BaDueuer concerning the iutHiuy VI ''iN
Seven Cities which doomed so large TO the Spanish
imagination in the sixteenth century. His sug-
gestion that the word Cibola was, in fact, an
effort Of the Spanish tongue TO reproduce the
Zuni name of the Buffalo Dance, Shi-vo-la, Is
certainly very attractive. The inference would
be that the Spanards simply misunderstood the
phrase and supposed place was indicated, when
really only festival was meant. The result
would be the same, so far history is concerned,
since it is pretty clear that the Shi-vola has
been celebrated within a somewhat narrow circle
Of territory for ages The annual pilgrimages to
and from this region, the name of which might
have been a matter Of comparative Indifference
to the natives would to confirm the for
eigners in their error as to the meaning of the
word which they heard. Whatever may be the
result of further investigation to the ruins
identified by Professor Bandelier and Mr.. Cush-
ing with the Seven Cities, there appears to be no
longer room for doubt that the ancient legend
as understood by the Spanards pointed nowhere
except to the narrow district which the Zuni
tribe has occupied apparently so long.
The volume is illustrated by several wood
cuts and by q chart showing the location of the
numerous ruins examined by Dr. Fewkes.
