BRUTALLY ASSAULTED,

Horrible Treatment of a Minnesota
 School Teacher-Death Ensues from
 the Result of Her Injuries Her
 NIurderers Locked Up.
 WINNEBAGo CITY, Minn., Feb. 2.-Miss Lena Lent, the school teacher who was so brutally assaulted by the Cruzen family few days ago, has died from her injuries. Miss Lent, who was teaching in country school near this place, had occasion to punish girl named Cruzen. The girls sister ran home and told her parents. They became so enraged that they went to the house and assaulted the teacher Mr. Cruzen struck Miss Lent with school book and knocked her down. The en- ragged mother then grabbed Miss Lent by her hair, which was loose over her shoulders, and dragged her around the room until the cap of the skull was par tially torn from it's place. With the aid of her husband the wife picked up the prostrate form of the teacher and threw it out of an open window, the head striking stone. A panic ensued and the children scattered to their homes, where they re- ported the assault. The greatest indigna- ton prevails. The Cruzens, father, mother and daughter, were arrested and have been placed in jail.

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
A Sailors Thrilling Account of Il Wreck of His Ship and His Escape

A Sailors Thrilling Account of the
 Wreck of His Ship and His Escape.
 ST. JOHNS, N. F., Feb. 2.-The follow ing account of the loss of the schooner Sailors Home while on a voyage from Sydney to St. Pierre, is given by Mate Philip Elford:
 "At a. m., December 9, it blew strong gale. I was at the helm, when a heavy sea broke over the ship, washing me overheard but fortunately I caught the boom tackle and on the next lurch of the schooner I was landed again on the ves- over the ship, carrying overheard the cap tain, the cook and the wheel. Not seeing anyone on deck first thought that was the only one left on board. The next mo- ment I noticed the cook, Benjamin Mills, clinging to one of the stern davits, which was hanging in the water. He became ex- hausted and let go. There was no sign of the captain I next found that two other members of the crew had saved them selves by clinging to the rigging.
 About midnight next day the vess ell | struck broadside against a cliff close to Miquelon head. Then one of us jumped ashore on crag. The vessel went off with | the sea, but was again hove against the | cliff, when another of the crew jumped ashore. The vessel was again carried off with the wave and again came in with another wave, striking the cliff for the third time, when I succeeded in jumping to the crag. The space on the rock to which we were clinging was so small that we had to hold to each other to keep from slipping down. The schooner bounded of a short distance, capsized and sank. We managed to reach fsherman's hut where we remained for the night"

The PhrsioIoHH Of Evil.

In his curious study of the physiology
Of Evil" DR.. B. W. Richardson declares
that the man of science finds two natural
causes of evil in mankind-hereditarya and
early environment The operation Of these
causes is made conspicuous in novel in
vestigation carried out by Professor Dug
dale, Of New York, who has been able to
trace one criminal family back to the set
tlement of it's first members in America.
He has found that from this parent stock
has sprung 100 descendants. The lives
of 100 of these have been closely followed
by Professor Dugdale, the result of the in
vestigation showing that not one of the
709 had escaped the contamination of evil
or its consequences. His researches also
show that the crimes Of this one family
have, during the last seventy-fve years,
cost the state of New York 8, ,200, COO
Those who are born bad, however, are
not always incurable. Mr.. Isaac Ashe,
president of the Central Criminal asylum,
Dublin, Ireland, has suggested that in
herited tendencies to crime can be treated
in the young by teaching useful occupa-
tions, which viii call into play the facul-
ties exercised IN criminal acts. Thus the
child of a clever forger may be educated
into an honest craftsman; so may the
children Of several generations Of pick
pockets be taught clever handiwork. such
as matchmaking or other work requiring
fingers Unusually deft in their movements

Saved by Thoughtfulness.

The ubiquitous reporter has turned up
in new role. He was riding up town in
a Sixth avenue surface car, when a boy
was knocked down by the horses, and be
fore the car could be stopped his foot wan
cut off just above the ankle. A crowd
gathered and waited in absolute helpless
ness for the arrival of an ambulance. Then
IL was that the reporter in question ell
bowed his way through the crowd.
Skillfully twisting his handkerchief
into bandage, he bound it and knotted it
just above the wound. Then he ran 8
stick through the knot and twisted it
around with all his might. The bandage
sank deep into the boys skin, but it saved
his life, for the flow o: blood was stopped
The ambulance surgeon on his arrival
complimented the reporter for his dexterity
and presence of mind.
There is no moral attached to this tale,
and there is no reason why a reporter
shouldn't be just as dexterous and nervy
as anybody else. Only it happened in this
instance that the reporter was very much
more thoughtful than anybody else in q
crowd of perhaps 200 persons, and it also
happened that when he had completed his
work he slipped OF into the crowd without
q shade of self Importance. The little suf
ferer whose life be saved will probably

1uE CLAIMANTS TALK.

NEW YORK. Oct. Sat the meeting in
this CITY tonight to ratify the nomination
of Roswell P. Flower for governor. Mr..
Cleveland was one of the speakers. Among
other things, the ex- president said:
''The Democratic party has at all times
been by profession and by tradition the
party of the people / say by profession
and tradition, but | by no means intend in
the use of this expression that in its con-
duct and action it has failed TO justify Its
professions or has been recreant TO its ira
ditions. 1t must, however. be admitted
that we have had our seasons OF revival,
when a consciousness of what true democ-
racy really means has been especially
awakened, and when we have been un-
usually aroused to a lively appreciation Of
the aggressiveneSS and activity which con-
science expects of those who profess the
Democratic faith, and who are thus en-
listed in the peoples cause. we contem-
Mate tonight such a revival and the
stupendous results which have thus far
attend it. In view of these things, we
cannot be honest and sincere and fail to
see that a stern and inexorable ouSy Is
now at our door, We saw the money OF
the people unnecessarily eXtorted from
them under the guise Of taxation; we saw
that this was the result of a scheme or
caxation perpetuated for the purpose OF
exacting tribute from the poor Tor the
benefit of the rich; we saw the party
which advocated and defended this wrong
gaining and holding power IN the govern
ment by a shameless appeal to the selnsh-
ness which il invited; we saw the people
actually Furnishing the bonds of mlsrep-
resentation and misconception which held
them in, and we saw sordidDess and the
perversion of all that constitutes good cltl-
zenship on every hand, and sturdy Amer
canism in jeopardy"

Prince and Flower Seller.

A pretty story of the late Emperor Fred.
erick is told in one of the German papers.
Some years ago, shortly before the death
of the old emperor of Germany. a tall,
handsome gentleman jumped into third
class carriage of local railway at Berlin
just as the train was leaving the station.
An old flower seller, with a basketful of
newly cut hyacinths, was the only other
occupant of the compartment He asked
the old dame to sell him bunch, and mol
lifted by his suave manner she chose the
freshest and largest and handed it to him.
It's price was a penny, but as the gentle
man had no coppers and the old woman
no change, not having sold any of heI
goods yet she was paid with mark piece,
which, as she said at once, was a thing that
had never been heard of before in third
class railway carriage.
Presently the stranger and the f1owe,
seller were deep in conversation, and it
turned out that the poor woman was the
only breadwinner of family of four. Her
son was crippled, her granddaughter
little school girl, and her husband had for
some months past been out of work, since
a new railway official had dismissed him
as being too old to do much work The

apply, on her husbands behalf, to the
railway authorities. THAT is no good
whatever" she replied, as she wiped her
tears with her apron. ''If you haven't the
pope for your cousin nowadays you can't
get anybody to listen to you" "Then try
the emperor" the stranger went on
"Alssp she sighed, eff the old gentleman
was allowed to see the petitions that are
sent, it might do some good. but he does
not get to know about us poor people"
"Well then, let your husband write to
the crown prince" YES" she said, she
might do that" and she would tell him so
soon as she had sold her flowers. By this
time the train had got to the terminus,
the old dame bundled out her basket and
noticed with astonishment that the officials
and the crowd on the patform looked at
her carriage and saluted and cheered
whats up9" she asked. "Why, the
crown prince was in the same compart-
ment with you?" Then the flower seller
held her head high and told every syllable
of what had happened to the delighted
crowd. Her flowers were sold before five
minutes were over, and fortnight after
ward her husband was at work again in
his old place.
