THE SUMMER THIEF.
He Burgles and Makes Love at About the
Same Time.

One of the most attractive of the sum
mer boarders ut Cochecton, N. ~, Is Miss
Mamie Fuhr.
Miss Fuhr went to her room the Other
night and after preparing for bed sat down
TO read her prayer book. She fell asloeI
with the book In her hand
She was awakened by hand on hen
shoulder. Her lamp had been burning
when she fell asleep; when she awoke, the
room was dark. Somebody was standing
beside her.
"who is itp What's the matter?" asked
the young woman, supposing she was
speaking to one Of her woman acquaint'
ances In the house.
At first sound of her voice the rays from
a dark lantern flashed upon her, and by
the light she saw, bending over her, an
elderly man who had thrown her kiss
early In the evening. He pressed a long
dirk knife against her throat.
"Give me all your money" muttered
the burglar, "and don't speak above a
whisper, OF I'll kill you"
Miss Fuhr was frightened speechless,
and 1t was several seconds before she could
find voice to reply. Then she protested
that she had no money. He, however,
compelled her to open her trunk, and
searching its contents he found about 50,
which he put In his pocket. After satisfy
ing himself that there was no more money
In the room the burglar made the girl
clasp her hands While she held them to-
gether he tied her wrists securely.
Picking up the prayer book, the thief
held 1t to the girls lips and made her
swear that she would not tell Of the nights S
occurrence, forcing her to kiss the book
after she had repeated the oath he exacted
from her.
Miss Fuhr had begun to recover her self
possession, but the next proceeding on the
part OF the invader filed her with alarm
greater than that she had felt before. Sit
ting beside her and taking her hands, the
thief began to make love to the girl. In
her terror she tried to scream. With a
warming that II she raised an alarm he
would carry out his threat to kill her, the
man snatched towel, bound 1t tightly
over her mouth, then left the room.
AS soon as she could command sufficient
strength the girl rolled of the bed and
beat upon the floor with her heels to call
assistance. The noise aroused the other
occupants Of the house, who hurried to
Miss Fuhr's rom. She was unconscious
Restoratives were applied, but 1t was long
before she regained consciousness, and 1t
was several hours before her nervousness
would permit her to tell her story.
The burglar has not been seen since he
fled from Miss Fuhr's room.

Were Women Free.

The only reason why women ever as
sumo what is more appropriate to men is
because they prevent them from finding
out what Is lt for themselves. Were they
free, were they wise, fully to develop the
strength and beauty Of women, they would
never wish to be men or menlike. The
well instructed moon flies not from her
orbit to seize on the glories Of her partner.

Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1895-07-01

AS the carriage bowled away from the
door amid shower Of roses and good wish
es and worn little slipper or two the girl
leaned forward, and drawing the picture
from its hiding place slowly she looked at
1t and then into the face of her husband,
who sat watching her with quiet happi-
ness. Then, with happy, girlish laugh,
she answered his implied question:
Yes; / carried It there all during the
service, right next my heart. But, Frank,
dear, you are much handsomer than you
were two years ago. o."-E. j. Appleton In

social conscience. Is 1t not the public press
which at the proper time should make
known to the makers of law what should
or should not be done for the common wei
faye? Can anyone deny to the public press
the right, in matters which concern the
people at large, to estimate value of public
acts? And especially does this public press
act as the public conscience since the mass
of the people think, speak and act under
the influence of Impressions received from
the daily papers
so great being the Importance of the
public press, it is evident how much they
who labor in this ministry merit the good
will and esteem of the people.
From the day of my arrival in Amer
lea down to the present moment l have
had every reason to feel pleased with the
press of this country; to conceive the most
exalted opinion of it: to appreciate Its
great Importance, to nourish for 1t feelings
of sincere and imperishable gratitude. If
you desire to know my mission among you.
you Will find 1t expressed in the conditions
enuncated for my favorable reception here
by q well meaning but msled writer in the
Forum two years ago. 1t is to help to
teach the ignorant, to raise the fallen; to
lead the guilty and penitent to an invisible
and divine Savior who alone has power TO
forgive sin; to console the sorrowing; to
edify the believing, to promote righteous
ness. liberty, sympathy and the spirit of
Christian brotherhood throughout the land.
If you want 10 know what my mission Is
not. you have 1t in the words of this writer,
in which he explains 1t as he thinks It.
He asserts l am here to further the claims
of the pope to a Kingdom of this world
"A kingdom which embraces the whole
world all the Kingdoms of the world and
the glory of them In my own name and
in that of Leo XIII, who sent me. j re-
pudate any such purpose. And, when 1t
shall please the pope to recall me, trust
Ing in the kindness and rectitude of the
public press, as Samuel of old. on laying
down the government in Israel, appealed
to the assembled people to express their
