4 TENDERLOIN HIGH WATMAN.


 Knocked . Man Down and Robbed Him,
 but Was Caught by Policeman.
 New York, Dec. 9.--A highwayman was caught last night in the heart of the Tenderloin, and will have to answer to the charge of highway robbery in Jefferson Market court. His name is John Thomas and he lives at 515 West Thirty-ninth street. { He says he is plumber. but the po- lice say he is a notorious member of the "Hell's Kitchen" gang of toughs.
 AS Arthur English, a dyer, of 412 East Seventeenth street, was passing the stables at 130 West Twenty-eighth street at 10 o'clock last night, slightly under the influence of liquor, Thomas approached him and demanded his money.
 Before English could answer he re- ceived a heavy blow on the jaw and vas felled to the sidewalk. He had Sl27 in one pocket, $19 in another, and y17sin a third pocket.
 The highwayman struck the $19 and S17 pockets first, and was making away when a private coachman, Horace Hain, who had witnessed the assault. came out of the stable and pursued him. call- ing Justify for the police. :.

Lewis Memorial committees Restrained
 From Erecting tho Memorial.
 Sheriffs' notices were served on the members Of the Lewis memorial com mittee last Saturday afternoon com manding them to desist from erecting the memorial in front of the county court building. The notices were ob- tained from Triton E. Dooiittle and his attorney. Edwin II. Rodgers and Judge studley, signed the order restraining the committee from carrying out the plan of the erection of the memorial. Colonel N. G. Osborn. a member of the committee. said Saturday evening that the committee had no Idea of doing anything strategic or underhanded in the matter.
 Another Injunction
 General Ford of the committee said that the committee had disdained to improve the ample opportunities 1t has had for surreptitiously placing the me- morial in position at the disputed spot. For months this opportunity had been open to the committed. and the com mittee had been advised from eminent sources to execute this move and thus gain an important point. but had re- fused to entertain any such proposition seriously. The committee had selected the site now in dispute only because they believed 1t to be the preference of the largest number of the contribu- tors to the memorial, and the commit tee were not disposed to do anything in the case inconsistent with the wish es of the public, no matter how great the temptation.

MISS HILLIARD'S

Recital at Warner Hall Tomorrow Evening.
 Miss Evelyn Hilliard will give a re- cital at Warner hall tomorrow evening and an excellent entertainment is as- sured. By request Miss Hilliard will cite a monologue entitled At the Pho- tographer's," written specially for her by Miss Harriet Ford, graduate of Hill house High school, class of 1855.
 An exchange says: Miss Hilliard will take an ordinary piece of verse and so dress up the idea as to give it a charac- ter. Her program consisted chiefly of light, graceful bits which are most sat- isfactory. Her recitals have delighted friends and strangers alike by their luniqueness.

The New Cure for DiphtherIa

The new anti-toXine cure for diphtberia
is attracting worldwide attention among
the doctors, and is receiving the indorse-
ment of the highest authorities in the
medical profession. Successful experiments
have been made with it in New York, and
1t is being employed to some extent in the
city hospital in Boston, but owing to the
small supply of the anti-toxine, less has
been done there. The New York World
has had an interview with DR.. Roux of
Paris, the discoverer, who says that out of
lis children whom he has recently treated
for either diphtheria or Group, 116 were
saved. "We are only on the threshold of
success" he said. "At the Trosseau hos
pital, where the mortality among the chill
dren used to be 63 per cent it has been re-
duced since the introduction of our treat
ment of diphtheria and Group to "a per
cent. At the hospital of the Enfants Ma
ladies', where | have been experimenting
for three years, the average mortality has
been lowered from IL to one per cent.
This is good confirmation of the value of
our remedy"
DR.. Roux lays special stress upon the
fact that this remedy should be used at the
very IlSl VI lllt disease. ii
used at the outset a cure is practically as
sured, while few hours time may allow
the malady to become so much advanced
that the disease cannot be conquered
The doctor corrects the impression that
death from diphtheria occurs usually from
suffocation caused by the false membrane
in the throat. In niue cases out of 10 the
danger arises from the rapid multiplication
of microbes on these false membranes,
which secrete a poison which finally CON
teammates the blood. The anti.toxine is
prepared from serum separated from the
blood of horses which have been previous
ly vaccinated against diphtherla. The
remedy is expensive, because it requires a
large amount of blood to be drawn from
the horse, and to cure case of diphthera
involves the use of nearly seven-eighths of
a pint of the serum.

From the BicyolI.ts' Standpoint.
From the Bicycling World


Hon. Levi X. Fuller, than whom there
is hardly any better known or more per
sistent agitator for good roads in America,
has just finished his term as governor of
the state of Vermont. One of the most
important topics dealt with in his retiring
speech was the cause of highway improve
ment in his own commonwealth. a subject
that is hardly complete unless linked with
the name of the ex-governor himself
Some of us who are especially acquainted
with Mr.. Fuller's good works in the past
may regret that he no longer occupies the
high office to which the people of his state
called him; but "once an agitator always
an agitator" has become one of the new
est of our proverbs, and we have right
to expect that the good cause fostered by
him during his term as chief executive will
have his aid as private citizen. And it
is in the ranks that any cause is won or
lost. Fuller, the governor, makes way for
Fuller, the citizen.
