A GIRLS PERIL.
OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT MADE By A TRAMP
AT MOUNDSyLLA
Tbs Misrsans Arrested and Nearly McbhM-Hs Il
Committed to Jail Yur Hearing
This Morning.

The town of Moundsville was thrown
into a state of excitement yesterday al
ternoon by the announcement that a
tramp had attempted criminal assault
upon the person Of Mamie Roberts, the
nine-year-old daughter OF Fletcher
Roberts, whose home is just west OF the
penitentiary and facing the mound.
The excitement in the town, when the
crime was discovered, was greatly in
tensified in the evening when Z. u.
Daken brought the fellow into town on
the'7 o'clock train from Rosbys Rock, and
for time it looked squally for the
wretch, there being number OF sug-
gestions TO hang him, etc. de was
finally hustled off to Jail.
Mr.. Roberts is gate-keeper at the
camp grounds, and was absent from
home during the day. Early in the
afternoon Mrs. Roberts left the house
to visit neighbor, living few yards
away, leaving the daughter at home.
While the girl was in the kitchen, the
tramp came to the house and attempted
to make sale of some polish 10 r
Frightening metal. Finding the
girl was alone in the house,
the tramp made an assault upon her,
but the girl made her escape after a
struggle and ran screaming from the
house. The neighborhood was at once
alarmed, but the fellow made a rapid
cut across lots for the B. & o. railroad
TRACKS and disappeared. Mrs. Roberts
caused telephone message to be sent
to the Mayors Office, and Chief-of-
Police Velton and Prosecuting Attorney
B. F. Meighen, with other officials Of
the town, at once took energetic steps
to head of the tramp. Telegraph mes
sages were sent to points out the rail-
road, east OF Moundsville, and during
the afternoon Mr.. Daken and several
others captured the fellow at Rosby's
Rock, and started In on a freight train
with him, arriving about 7 o'clock. just
as Chief Velton was on the point OF
going out.
The prisoner was at once taken to the
Office of Justice Criswell, which was
soon filed and surrounded by crowd,
whose disposition was TO make short
work of the fellow. The tramp gave
the name of John Maloney. He is
about six feet high, with a smooth face,
andOhails from no one knows where.
His bail was fixed at $500. and as he
was unable to give 1t, he was remanded
to Jail for hearing at nine o'clock this
morning.

openinr of the Opera House.

Manager Reister announces as the
opening attraction at the Opera House
Friday evening, w. S. Cleveland's New
Consolidated Minstrels. This will be
by far the most important minstrel COM
pany to be seen here this year. Every
thing is new and bright this season, not
a vestige of the old show remaining.
Mr.. Cleveland's idea of making his
shows larger and better with each sue
ceeding year, he decided to put more
money and better talent in his "Big
City show" and devote his time to max
ing this Company the greatest Minstrel
enterprise ever organized. The Com
pany numbers over fifty performers,
each and every member carefully select
ed personally by Mr.. Cleveland, which
is a guarantee of excellence. The CON-
edians are all clever, and the singers
are pronounced by all critics to be the
best ever heard outside of Grand Opera.
No "old favorites" has been Mr.. Cleve-
lands motto this year, because, he says,
they cannot do but the one thing
they've done all their life, at any rate
they never change their business. You
will not find single ''old timer" on his
roll call. All his comedians are young,
and as he put it "full Of ginger" and
really clever; the vocalists are the
best.

that were in Geo. E. Stifel &c Co.'s new

thousand people being in the store dur
ing the day, and at times the aisles
were so filed that 1t was necessary TO
close the doors for time to get the
customers waited on and avoid ca
lamity. Upwards of 10000 yards OF
these special goods were sold beside the
regular lines of Dry Goods, and the
courteous and business-like way the
salespeople handled their trade during
this rush reflects great credit on the
firm and their efficient corps Of help.

There is q new baseball nine in the
field now, and it's crack one, too.
Last night the bartenders about town,
many of whom have won laurels on the
diamond, got together and organized a
team to be known as 1.-THE Pilgrims"
The captain of the new band OF ball
artists is Jack Sheppard, bartender at
the Buffet. Jack was out practicing In
the alley yesterday for while, and did
some great pitching. Jack will hold
down the box for the new team, support
ed behind the bat by Tom Finnegan. Jack
Crogan will occupy first base, Joe White
second and Lou Miller third. Joe
Hazlett will probably play short, while
Charles Fox. Jack O'Malley and Mike
Warner will cover the outfield. There
is some good ball material represented
here. There was some talk at first OF
playing the street car conductors and
operators, but the chances are that the
latter would not be 'in it," The Pill

DR.. Alice b. Stockham, an energetic, in
teifigent woman who has made a name
and place for herself in the medical world
by attention to the prevention as well as
the cure of disease, says that the condition
known as a common cold" is absolutely
~avoidable. II one is exposed to draughts
or other conditions liable to result in
taking cold" the sensation of chilliness
can be dispelled by closing the mouth and
inhaling fresh air deeply through the
n~ostrils, holding the breath long enough
to count fifty each time. This simple
treatment, coupled with a resisting
thought avoiding fear of attack, will, she
insists, surely ward off the disagreeable
and more or less dangerous condition
which is the Common result of draughts,
wet feet, sudden changes of temperature,
etc.
The trouble with all such remedial or
preventive agencies as this is that they are
too cheap to attract the attention or en-
gage the confidence of the people. Persons
who would scorn to practice a simple proc
ess Of this kind for the prevention of cold
will not hesitate a moment to incur the
expense, Inconvenience and suffering of a
trip to Berlin for treatment-.when the
cold has developed into consumption. To
thoughtful people, however, who believe
that an intelligent jurisdiction may be
maintained over physical conditions to the
comfort Of the individual and the increased
longevity of the race, such a suggestion as
the above appeals strongly, and the hint
that it gives is especially valuable at the
season of fogs, raw winds and liability to
sudden changes.

On one of the South Sea islands the old
king, Tanoa, ordered that fourteen women,
prisoners Of war, should be killed, offered
in sacrifice, and then cooked and eaten in
honor of some important visitors at Bau.
There was a mission station at Viva, oo-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Calvert and Mr..
and Mrs. Lyth. The men of the party
were away on a distant island when the
dreaded tidings reached Viva, but at once
these noble women resolved at all hazards
and what awful hazardsl-to attempt to
rescue the victims. Taking a cAnoe they
rowed themselves to Bau, and before they
reached the shore the firing OF muskets,
piercing shrieks and the beating of the
death drum told that the butchery had be-
gun. Undeterred by the horrors Of the
scene, they thrust their way through the
mRddened crowd of cannibals into the
house Of King Tanoa, where entrance was
forbidden to all women excepting those be-
longing to the household.
With the offering Of a whales tooth in
each hand they sought to propitiate the
king. and then pleaded with such intensf-
ty for the lives OF their lark sisters that he
was overcome, and saying, ''Those who
are dead are dead, but those who are still
alive shall live" he ordered the five sur
vivors to be given into their charge.
Some time afterward, when Capt. Erskine,
R. N, was cruising among the South Sea
islands, he wrote, after visiting Viva and
Bau, and meeting Mrs. Lyth and Mrs. Cal
vert, IF anything could have increased
our admiration OF their heroism it was the
unaffected manner in which, when pressed
by us to relate the circumstances of their
woful visit, they spoke of it as the simple
performance of an ordinary duty."-Vin-
dex in London Times.

A lady s~tenographer says: The numbers
of our calling are constantly on the In
crease, and most of those lately coming
into the business are not we'll prepared for
IL. A good English education is required
to become even a passable shorthand
writer, and n great many young women
who have the merest smattering Of knowl-
edge are trying to prepare themselves for
otice work they will never be able to do
because OF insufficient knowledge of the
simplest English branches. There is no
hope of our ever being able to form a union
for our protection, for a woman does not
care a button for principles or labor maxims
when She van a place, and in this city
the graduates of the same commercial
school will go and underbid each other to
get a situation.
They work for less wages than men be-
cause the most of them live at home and
do not require so much for their support,
knowing that they ave relatives on whom
they can rely. And. besides, not one in a
thousand regards her position as anything
more than temporary, and IL she can get
along somehow until she gets engaged and
her wedding clothes made, that is all she
looks forward to, not expecting to do office
work after she gets Il husband. Blu the
Introduction of women into offices has had
a good influence on the women and on the
offices, too, and several young girls who a
few years ago began as stenographers are
now filling responsible positions in bust
ness houses at n salary three or four times
that paid to ordinary shorthand writer's
