Attacks Young School Girl on Her Way
Home on Public Street

In broad open daylight. on one of the
Irequented streets OF Atlanta young lady
was attacked and 1nsulted by black
wretch Tuesday afternoon about half past
l o'clock.
The young lady wah Miss Alice Sisk, the
thlrteen-year-old daughter of Rev. John
Sisk, who lives at 1GI Mangum street, this
city.
She was returning from school ut the time
and had Just left a young lady companion.
The scene of the attack was Hobo Hollow
that section of the city made notorious by
the rendezvous of the famous Hobo queen
Jessie Bone, and her followers.
The big wretch walked straight up to her,
and before she could spring aside elude
him i'll any way he caught her by the arm.
He held her roughly and began cursing
her. Frightened half to death by the sud
denness and uneXpectedneSS of the attack,
she could hot speak or cry for an instant.
Then. summOninG all her courage and
strength, she screamed as loudly as she
could
The neGro's grasp on her arm frightened,
ai with an oath he cautioned her not to
utter another sign at her peril.
Still terribly frightened she continued to
cry out. The locality roundabout the place
where the attack occurred Is mostly in
habited by negroes. and th3 horror of her
situation caused the blood to run cold in
the young girls veins.
She continued to Shrek and at the time
when she had about given up Ill despair,
and was making a last desperate effort to
free herself the negro suddenly lOOScned his
hold upon her arm. and turning ran rapidly
away.
The school girl ran quite as rapidly in an
opposite direction. She ran as fast as she
could until her home was reached, and run
ming brcathlessly inside, she related to her
father what had occurred.
Rev. Mr.. Sisk. the father of the young

away he found Patrolman Cochran, and
hastily telling him Of the attack upon his
daughter, the two started in pursuit of the
villain.
AS PatroIman Cochran and Mr.. Sisk hur
ried along they met Mounted Officers Patter
son and Bethea, and the latter of
ficers joined them i'll the search.
Quite a crowd soon gathered. and
in a few minutes was in hot pursuit of the
fleeing negro.
Patrolmen Cochran, Patterson and Bethea
kept on track of the negro until they came
off duty at o'clock. Officer Patterson be-
lieyes from the description given of the ne
gro that he has clue to who he IS.

tinction must be kept in mind. For
instance, Excelsior" is a ballet, but
verging on what is merely spectacle.
The ballet in its truest form is very
much a work of art-art in the per-
formers, who must have intelligence
of conception as well as technical
ability. Thus it comes about that
art is also required in the audiences
the art of understanding and de-
handing what is art. This is what
we in America must learn, especially
of the dance; and it is harder for us,
cut off as we are from tradition. use
and familiarity. Thus, again, the
ballet may either be what it is
too often taken for in our country
anatomical display-or it may
be a representation of the higli-
est refinement-a higher pleasure,
wherein the mind of the spectator re-
poses in the conscious and natural ac-
tivity of the performers. To this
sense OF harmony, which Ito the spec
tator) is not different from the
thoughtiess grace and action OF young
children, there is added the joy of
historical recognition and recollection.
with poetry and fable, while the eye
S pleased with color and with motion
and the ear is soothed with melody
which it is not necessary to unravel
out of tangled harmony.
In the Puppenfee, which is the chill
dren's story of the fairy who animates
the dolls at midnight in the dolls
fair, there is, if you will, a nurses
tale that is not fit for grown folk.
Yet when you have dancers who can
act, when you have a German poet to
conceive the plot, you may have
touches of nature and charming cpl
sodes such as the Greeks-whose
actors all wore masks-might not de-
spise.
1t is said that Vienna ballet dane
ers ask their weight in gold to be
transferred from their beloved
Hof- Operntheatre on the Vienna
Ring to the stage of other cities.
One thing is certain that ballet in its
grandest form can scarcely be seen
without them. To the frequenter of
such amusements. the Vienna ballet
is a revelation of what can be done
with this wonderful art by way of
p~ortraying powerfully the movements
of history and poetic legend and-I
would almost say-of religion itself.
1t is the nearest modern approach to
the part of the chorus in the plays of

for sick benefits, still the orfianization is
in healthy financial condition. The con-

among the carpenters this season. Trade
will be exceedingly brisk for carpenters

IGNORED THE COURTS ORDERS.

James b. Craft Win Next Time Act
With More Discretion.
Addison c. McEwen's affairs were
we'll ventilated this morning in
the Orphans Court before Judge
Hudspeth, and James B. Craft, his as
signee. who has ignored orders of the
Court, was committed to the Coun-
ty Jail for thirty DAYS and
subsequently,. released in the custody of
his counsel Herbert Potts. He
was also given fourteen days
in which to comply with all
the orders of the Court, and to file an
account OF his transactions with
Court or pay a fine OF $3.50
and then submit to Imprisonment
until the proper accounts are made, Adj
olson McEwen was at one time
a wagon and truck mannfac,
and decided to invest a sum Of money in
a building at Washington and Bay
streets. The building was heav-
lily mortgaged. and from this
fact arose McEwen's troubles. The
mortgages were foreclosed and Nc
an assignment. His indebtedness
at that time was discovered to be about
S14. 900. while his liabilities were about
81, 200. Craft, VIC is a refriger-
ator manufacturer, failed up to a
week ago to fill n account
whatever of his dealings. in McEwen's
estate. When warned that he would get
into trouble if he did not com ply with the
orders of the Court, he filed with the
Surrogate a garbled statement which
showed extravaganza and lack OF
business application. Craft has been
removed from the responsibility OF
assignee and has been succeeded by
Mr.. Fessenden. Crafts contempt OF
Court has gotten himself into such a
serious scrape that j. Herbert Potts is
somewhat worried over his future safety.

all the samples of Chicago River water
examined showed an appalling pol

The pollution begins at the mouth OF

the maximum is reached in the vicinity
OF the ssockyards. near the
southern branch OF the pumping
station where the filthy cond1-

points the condition of the Chicago
