weist Du NIGHT.

ROME, May 6--This city has been treat.
cd to genuine old-time brigand episode.
The sufferers we're the duke and duchess
OF SAKE. Mc,ningen. The duke and
duchess, 1t appears, were travelling in
cognito in Italy, and were returning with
small suite from paying q visit to tho
poet Woss. Near Fracati, about twelve
miles from this city, their carriage was
stopped In true brigand style by two
masked men. who leveled guns at tho
ducal party and demanded money or their
lives. The duke threw them his purse,
which contained only 50 lire (about sip,
and tho carriage was allowed to proceed.
The duchess naturally was much upset
BY this strange experience, ard upon ar
rival here the duke notified the police au.
thorities. A detachment Of gen darmes
was promptly sent to the scene OF the
brigandish exploit, with orders to return
with the freebooters, dead or alive. They
returned with the two brigands, who wcro
badly scared and clearly showed them
selves to be amateurs. They were found
swallowing the proceeds Of their hold-up
In tavern convenient to the scene OF
their cEime, and were hustled of to the
prison amid much clatter Of arms and ac-
coutrements.
The under secretary of state for the in.
terror called upon the ruffled duke and
duchess Of Sake Mciningen and humbiy
expressed to them the sincere regret Of
tho authorities that they had been sub
jectcd TO such an outrage almost within
sight OF Rome. The duke expressed hm'
self satisfied with the prompt and success
full measures taken for the arrest Of the
brigands, and ms satisfaction can have
been in no way lcssened by the fact that
the bold marauders had not had time to
cxpcEd any great portion Of the 81 lire
which they captured at so much risk to
themselves

Is compared with many of the Mag

stal-like appearance of Pipestone Mag

Chinese BARRIERS do no use lather. but .nnist-

d mixture of warm water and novah. a
Chnese perfume With a very queerodor.
Another peculiarity of a Chinese barber
Is that he wiilnot under any Circumstances
shave the head, face or any otherpart the
anatomy of foreigner. Their razors
are thn-hladed and of superior steel, and
require boring once every day.

mead rests for the patron to doze on while

sit upright while he is icing worked upon.

ALMOST ANOTHER CRIME.

Through the timely action Of he sheriff
Of Prince Geo.gs colnty l. p ,o.n, . Mary-
land have been spared the shame and dis
/ grace eofanother iynching within the borders
| of their State. A mob was really to take u
| man from Marlboro jail an iiang him, who
is accused of having ;i.ortally injured an
other in n quarrel, but declares that
someone else, not he, did the deed. Out
side of his cell he heard people discuss
the prospective lynching. AMI but that tho.
sheriff removed him quickly to Baltimore
there would have been now a third VIC
tim of mo b violence
Ii anything further had been needed t.
demonstrate the necessity for vigorous ac-
tion in the Charles county ana Montgpm-
cry county affairs 1t has been furnished by
this manifestation o I la wless spiritin Prince
George. Lawlessness is a contagious dis
ease, and readily becomes epidemic If rot
checked in the beginning by vigorous treat
ment. Had the Charles COUNTY autEorisics
taken energetic measures to bring Cock
ing's murderers tn justice it is quite piob-
able that the Montgomery county mob
would have hestated about numbering
Randolph, and prompt action in the latter
case could not have failed to make an
impression in Prince George. Bat the com
placency with which the Charles ami Mont
gomery county authorities looked dIoa
the shocking events, OF course encouraged
the law -defying element of Prince George
to indulge in the same pastime with which
their neighbors had diverted themselves.
To temporiZe with crime is to encourage
it. The only effective means to check
ii is stern, unyield:ng, prompt enforce
ment of the law. Tucall lynching anything
but murder, or designate Il lyncher by any
other appellation than that Of murderer, is
euphemism of the most extravagant sort.
AS a matter OF fact, there is no appreciablc
difference between the fellow that as
sassinates man on the highway and the
other who joins a number of congenlil
spirits, and with them drags man from
Jail and hangs or shoots him, except that
the former is coura geOus enough 10 re:pe-
tratc his crime openly and lie known as a
foe 10 society, while tie lyncher is coward
who disgu guses his face, and later paradcs
as yirtuous and law abiding member cf
the community. 1t is Bill Sykes oh Tire
one side, and Chudband, PecEsniff and
all the other scoundrcls combined in one,
on the other.
There can be no que stion as to which one
of these types is tie more dangerous to
society. The one defieS law; the other un-
dermines it, because lie associates with
him Others in his misdeeds, which he pro-
fesses 10 execute for the good of tie cori.
munity. lie mocks and staSs justice, while
claiming to serve her. Bat for the lyncher
no less than for any other murderer, there
should be the prison, the court and the
gallows.
