LECYURE ~ THE COLLEGE.
Professor Mason Interests and Instructs a
Large Audience.

Professor Otis T. Mason delivered an
interesting and highly instructive lecture
last night before the Geographical and
Historical Society of Richmond College.
The chapel Of the college was crowded 10
its utmost capacity. The students attended
IN a body. while the seminaries Of our city
sent their contingent of beautiful girls
TO grace the occasion.
At the appointed time Professor Mason
BEGAN his lecture. 1t lasted for over an
hour, and during that time his audience
were treated TO a splendid lecture. lie
spoke in clear, easy tone which was
distinctly audible 10 everyone. Professor
Mason is recognized as the leading au-
thority in this country upon the sciences
Of ethnOlogy and anthropoogy. He fas
studied his subject for twenty-five years,
and for the last nine years he has been a
member Of the STAFF Of the Smithsonian
Institute.
He is one Of those genial, whole-souled
gentlemen who wins the hearts Of his au-
dience by the delightful manner in which
he simplifes and makes dlgestible to any
mind, perhaps the greatest Of modern
sciences.
The sum and substance Of the Profess
sors lecture bears with great force upon
the leading political questions Of the day,
and especially upon the tariff question. AS
science the Professor said, it was the
only true solution 10 political and social
economy, a reality that sooner or later
must demonstrate the fact that we have
to turn at last TO nature and ask for the
answer and solution to our social and
political problems. In a strong argument
he showed how the government has turn
ed 10 his science, and asked for aid and
advice upon many of her most puzzling
questions. He further demonstrated the
fact that the fate OF nations past and
those 10 come can, TO a large extent, be
foretold by the aid Of the great science
20 which ne has devoted his life.
Not for single second did the audience
tire not for a second was the intense
interest Of the listener broken, and when
Professor Mason concluded, the audience
awoke 70 the fact that for over an hour
they had been held spell-bound, listening
10 a great science being discussed by q
perfect scientist.

ATTEMPTED OUTRAGES.

ASSAULT WHITE WOMEN.
Both Attempts Were Made Near the Same
Place and Jime-The villain
IL Mt Large.

on M street near Twenty-hfth last
Saturday night bold attempt at criminal
assault took place. the would-be villain
being a negro and the young lady upon
whom the attempt was made being about
sixteen years old. Her home is in New
York, and she is visiting friends on
Twenty-sixth street. Shortly after Q
o'clock the young lady, in company with
two girl friends, left the house for a
walk While passing an alley. which
runs back Of G. w. Bradley's grocery
store, a negro emerged from the dark
ness. and. selling his victim by the
throat, threw her on the sidewalk.
Screams from her companions soon
brought several gentlemen to the rescue
in time to see the villain escape through
an alley. The marks Of the brutes fin
gers were seen on the throat Of the young
lady, who was found in a hysterical
condition.
In a few minutes the corner OF Twenty
fifth and NJ. streets was crowded with
indignant men, who were anxious TO get
their hands on the negro. The latter,
however made his escape

Officer Hackett arrested negro
on suspicion Of being the guilty
party. The prisoner was carried
TO the house Of the ladies, but
proved 10 be the wrong party Another
negro was carried before the young lady
by officer Kelley Sunday night, but she
failed TO identify him, and he was re-
leased.
The man is described as a middle-aged
man Of q gingerbread cast. lie wore
slouch hat and blue overals. The young
lady is doubtful as to whether she could
identify him.
another Assault.
About an hour later, a Mrs. Melton,
while on her way home from a grocery
store, where she had gone to make
some purchases, was accosted near the
corner Of Twenty-seventh and clay
streets by a negro. who threw his arm
about her neck. and attempted TO take
some Of the packages she had. Her
screams brought TO her assistance a num-
Der Of gentlemen, and the negro made
his escape.
Vigorous Search.
Parties were at once organized, and a
vigorous search made for the man until
late hour but without success. II

outrlges. The police are working up the
case, and think they have a good chance
