MUR!DEROUS ASSAULT.
Providence Diamond Ven.
der Nearly Killed.
STRUCK BY A SLUNG SHOT.
Assailant Runs Of With Tray of
Jewels, But is Captured.

A bold and daring diamond robbery
took place on Westminster street In Prov
idence in broad daylight yesterday after
noon at o'clock, and one of brace OF
unknown and desperate crooks was cap
tured by patrolman Richard Clarke.
The robber attempted to murder Louis
Goldstien, diamond merchant, before he
began plundering his place.
Westminster street was crowded with
pedestrians when two strangers were seen
to enter the Barnaby building.
One OF the men remained on guard at
the entrance to the building while the
other went at once to the place OF Gold
stein.
The crook said he wanted a good sized
Goldstein turned to bookcase to secure a
sample book of settings.
The crook then bounded on the dia-
mond merchant and dealt him blow on
the head with heavy doork mob wound
up In handkerchief.
Goldstein fell to the floor and the
crook seized tray OF valuable jewelry and
diamonds and ran out.
Goldstein recovered quickly and called
loudly for help.
DIR. Rowe and others started IN pursuit
of the thieves, who took to the crowd in
Westminster street and eventually turned
through Union street.
One of the thieves dropped his revolver,
but the one who stood on guard was well
armed, and he covered the retreat of
both.
The thieves were soon being chased by a
couple of hundred men and boys, and
some Of the jewelry and diamonds were
dropped on the street.
At Friendship street Officer Clark cap
tured the crook who made the assault up
on Goldstein.
He proved to be an ugly customer and
he made an attempt to kill the policeman
while on the W av to headquarters.
His companion escaped by running
along Friendship street and into an alley,
where he jumped several fences.
The prisoner said his name was Shaffter
and that no was known in New York
where he came from, as "Shef."

A case OF mans inhumanity to man and
another OF the charity that should be

who has sons that are wealthy, one worth
over 100000 and one an ex-Councilman
of this city, was arrested while under the

costs. His children would not pay his
fine and as he was being led out OF the
station to 60 to Jail one OF the officers was
moved by pity to pay the si.60 necessary
for the old mans release. Such is life.

4 BiCNCle Idea.

Philadelphia has mounted part of her
park police force upon regulation army
bicycles. and they patrol their beats in
that manner. Philadelphia is the first
city TO do this, but the example is good
one. The steel horse costs nothing for
keep. and his repairs amount to less than
the shoeinG of a four footed horse would
The bicycle does not wear ont in long
run. Mounted upon it park policeman
IS enabled TO catch a wrongdoer very
quickly. He can overtake and stop fast
drivers and riders and can even head off
a runaway horse.
In case of accident, too, guard can
speed away on his wheel TO a telephone
box and send for an ambulance or sur.
geon. \ thief or rowdy on foot would
have no chance at all against a champion
sparrow cop" bicyclist. Paramount
park. Philadelphia. contains $500 acres,
it being the largest single city park in
America.
Doubtless the other cities will follow
the fashion set by Philadelphia, and to
their manifest advantage. At the horse
shows at present there is always a prize
offered for skillful riding of the mounted
park policemen. In a few years perhaps
the bicycle shows will offer prizes for
the most expert police cyclists. 1t will
certainly add to the attractions.

Gentlemen Mechanics.

The chief distinction between the gen.

the first takes baths, the other does not
\ Brooklyn iron working firm engaged
in the manufacture of drop FORCES has
dropped an idea on the world in connec-
ton with showing the gentlemanliness
of its employees that is worth initiating.
1t is we'll known that, however gentle
manly the man who works in iron and
coal may be, and however much he is
respected by all, especially by candidates
at election time, he cannot show off for
the fine man he is when he goes home
from work grimy faced and soiled as TO
his clothing. He is undoubtedly worth
a dozen of the dudish looking young fell
lows about him in a street car, yet when
we'll dressed woman comes in she will
instinctively seek n seat beside the dude
rather than the gentleman who works
in iron.
The reason is that the gentleman who
has wrought all day with his hands is
not cleaned up. The Brooklyn drop
forgers have provided a way whereby
their employees may obviate this diff
Guilty and board street car in a condi-
ton that will exhibit their manly good
looks to the best advantage.
They have provided first class bath
house on their premises where the work
men can take thorough wash in five
minutes. The bath consists of boxlike
partition large enough for man to
stand up and move around in. There
are dozen of the boxes. In the ceiling
above are shower baths of both hot and
cold water. Soap and towels are pro-
vided, and the employee may stand I'M
der the grateful torrent, rub himself
from head to foot with soap. wash it all
off, scrub himself with the towel, jump
into his street clothes, and in an incredi-
bly, short time step out as clean and
agreeable in appearance as any dandy,
| and good deal better looking than the
dandy. Then the gentlemanly mechanic
will be all ready with clear head to pur-
sue his studies in the evening and think
out that invention which is going to
make n millionaire of him. The fellow
who is SO far gone as not to avail HIM
self Of this luxury will never be any
thing but day laborer and an uncom-
monty poor one at that.
