Foiled by n Brave Woman, Notwithstand
ing Threats.
A smoothfaced tan-colored negro
entered d. X. Briggs yard at the corner
of Wheat and White streets yesterday
evening about dusk, and acted in a
very suspicious manner. Mrs. Briggs
noticed the negro, and going out,
demanded of him what he wanted. The
negro said he was looking for DIR.
Koiner's, and being told he did not live
there, started out, taking garment off
clothes line as he went and stuffed it
under his coat
Mrs. Briggs called after the negro
several times to stop and followed him
up. The scoundrel stopped. and, draw
ing a revolver, pointed it directly at the
lady and said:
"You get back in the house, or I'll
shoot you down."
But Mrs. Briggs was not frightened
in the least, and told the burly negro
she was not afraid of his shooting her.
With pluck that would have done honor
TO man, she seized the thief and took
the garment away from him. The
negro then left Two men came along
about this time, and Mrs. Briggs pointed
the negro out who, was then some dis
TANGO away. The men followed the
thief until he reached the Roanoke and
Southern, whence he made his escape
beyond the river.

The Paris Salon But a Memory.

At time when Mrs. John Sherwood and
other apostles of culture are preaching the
coming of the salon as an American institu-
ton it is of interest to note the statement
made upon high authority, that the Paris
literary salon as it existed in the Seventeenth
and Eighteenth centuries. and even in the
first half of the present century, exists no
longer To-day the salon is but memory in
Paris perhaps because the art of conversation
died with Old World courtesy perhaps be-
cause, as one may say and write what he
pleases in public places, there is no need for
a private spot for such discussions; perhaps
because the magazines and reviews have taken
the place OF the spoken exchanges of opinions
of long ago II connot be that the ladies who
were the centres of these reunions have no
worthy successors to-day. Even now it Is
pleasant b talk literature at Nine. Adams,
and politics, say, at the Princess Nathildes.
But the old glory of the salon has departed.
