SLOWED HER HAND.
Miss Mary Abberding Pelled a
Mirthmaker
&c Had Taken the Liberty to Tap
Her With His Club.

he new woman WAS InuCH III
evidence at Eighth and Jefferson
streets last evening. The young
man wearing a Mardi Gras costume
who attacked her will perhaps be
careful in the future when he
tackles woman with a club in
these days and times. He left the
scene of the conflict badly used up
in body and equally as much ruff
fed in spirits. But he counts wis
dom gained for something.
About 6 o'clock Mary Abberd-
ing and Maud Linking were pass
ing the corner when they saw sew
eral young men approaching them.
The young women were about eigh-
teen years of age and the young
men were about the same age.
One of the boys carried a good-siz-
ed club in. his hand and he had on
a most ridiculous costume. On
approaching the young women this
particular individual began swing
ing his club in threatening man
ner as if to intimidate them. How
ever, the latter were not that sort
|
of material and continued to walk
down Jefferson street without pay
ing them the slightest attention.
The young man seemed determined
to annoy them and continued to
follow. They had behaved likewise
to number of other persons who
had passed that way during the
afternoon.
The young man with the club
finally gave Miss Abberding gen
tie tap with his club and followed
it up with a somewhat harder one.
The young woman turned in an in
slant. She looked at the ruffian
for a moment as if to determine
what he meant, but she saw no
change of expression. The face
was masked. The young man
brandished his club again and the
girl decided it was time for action
, Her hand shot out like a flash and
: blow straight from the shoulder
knocked him to the pavement. He
fell with heavy thud and he lay
as if he had been struck with his
own club.
The women turned and started
to leave, but the young man arose
to his feet and made an attempt tt
strike her again with his club. He
anger was at white heat by this
time, and, running up to the MAJ
whom she had just felled so easily
wrenched his club from his hands
She then proceeded to give him I
s sound beating that he will rcmcm
Der all his days.
All this time the other men hat
y stood amazed. They seemed afrai'
= to take a hand. The girls com
panion also took no part, but tn
expression on her face showed tina
she would do so if she saw it wa
necessary. A crowd of peopl
gathered about the scene and ha
not the the young men made thei
escape they would in all probabil
ity have been handled otherwis
than with kid gloves. The youn

CONCERNING THE INDIANS.

The annual report of the Commits
the total number of Indians in the
country, exclusive of the five civilized
tribes and the remnants of New York
tribes, is III, 235. That is to say, this
is the present strength of the wild
tribes that formerly possessed the
West, and that are now under the di-
rect care of the Government for the
purpose of civilization. The impress
sion prevails that these national
wards and pensioners are deere asing
on account of their condition Of tran
sition from a nomadic and Warlike life
to something better; but there is rea-
son to believe that this is a mistake,
and that in fact they are steadily in
creasing. It is contended by the best
Investigators that the early histori-
cal records of the numerical force of
the Indian race are unreliable, and
pervaded by a general tendency to
exaggeration, owing mainly to the
difficulty of obtaining trustworthy in
formation on the subject. The first
really accurate enumeration was not
made, they say, until 1886; and since
that time there has been a regular in
crease. It is easy to believe that the
vitality of the race has gained by rea
son Of the comforts and advantages
the shelter, clothing and food-that
the Government has literally provid
ed, and that the philanthropists and
have no cause to wor-
ry about the approaching extinction
of the Indian population.

1t is likely that if Ii Hung Chang
can retain his hold at home his inf1u-
ence may work in time to the improv-
ing of the whole condition of women
in China. He took very kindly to west
ern women as he saw them in Europe
and America. Their freedom and in
telligence seemed to please as we'll as
astonish him. He has shown the eff
feet of these new ideas upon him in
his appointment of two Chinese
women delegates to woman's con-
gress which meets in London in 1898.
The women are converts to the Chris
tian faith. This action is something
unheard of in China. If Ii could have
his way, he would bring China out of
darkness into light. The danger is,
however, that the councillors to the
emperor in the old rotton kingdom
will prejudice him against Ii, and so
render null all that enlightened
statesman's plans for redeeming his
native land. There are symptoms
already of this.

POSITION OF THE SOUND MONEY
DEMOCRATS.

The position of the democrats of the
democrats who voted for the election
of Mckinley was well given by
Bourke Cochran in speech made at
a dinner in New York recently. He
said: eve must recognize the fact
that the Republican party has saved
the country, and we are bound to sus-
tain this Republican administration
and even the adoption of its party
policies. We have voted to elect a
protectionist with our eyes wide open
because we believe that the issue of
protection or free trade is a minor
one when the existence of the gov
eminent itself is placed in peril. am
free trader. I will never be found
again masquerading before the peo-
pie as a tariff reformer. I have don
ned political DISCUSSES for the last
time. I believe that protection is an
adherence, but recognize the fact
that the country is today without suf
ficient revenue, and I believe the
president should have power to name
the means by which it shall be re-
plenished. IF the question were re-
ferred to me, should favor diminu
ton in the rate of taxation as the best
means of increasing the revenue, but
that is not the view Of the party that
has just been successful at the polls.
Tt is better for the people that in re-
gard to the tariff we should have
some policy than that we should have
no policy.
'The tariff on the statute book was
established on no principle which any
man can avow. 1t was the outcome
of secret intrigue. It was the result
of a surrender by the house endowed
with the power or originating re-
venue measures to a cabal of five
members in the other branch of the
Federal legislature; as between a
tariff founded on an idea which is
a mistaken one and one founded on
jobs which are corrupt? prefer the
one on which the people can fix the
blame or credit for the result

Signor Arditi, the veteran condu c-
tor of italian opera, seems to be a
man of ready wit, to judge from an
anecdote in his "reminiscences"
On one of his American tours he re :
ceived one day check from his man
ager. It was already near the expira
ton of banking hours, and having
need of the money, he jumped into a
carriage and drove to the bank. On
handing the check to the the teller,
however, he was met by the state
ment that it would be necessary for
him to be identified.
''But don't you know me?" asked
the musician. 81 am Signor Ardity."
The teller still shook his head. He
was sorry, and all that, but he could
not pay out the money without an
Identification A sndden idea came
to Arditi.
''Do you ever go to the opera?" he
inquired.
Eyes, often," was the teller's re-
ply.
"Well, then, see here;" and at the
word Signor Arditi turned his back
upon the teller and took off his hat,
exposing his bald head, with the sight
of which all opera goers were fami
liar. "Don't you know me now?''
A smile spread over the teller's
face. "Hes," he said, ''you are Sig
nor Arditi.'' And with that he hand
ed forth the money.

Mrs. Thomas A. Edison has been a
source of great encouragement to the
inventor, having always been in COM
plete sympathy with his work, and is
supremely happy over the wonderful
success he has attained in the field of
science. She is at once a loving
mother, an affectionate and dutiful
wife, and a helpmate. She reigns
queen of the Edison home in Lew
ellyn Park, while her husband yields
the magical wand of genius ii his
labratory atOrauge, N. J. She often
visits him at his laboratory, even as
sisting him at his experiments. On
some occasions, when he is after
some important secret, and his ex-
tended Investigations impel him to
remain at his work continuously for
days at time, she has remained with
him the entire time, sleeping on a
cot near his work bench. That is the
only kind of a woman who could live
happy with genius, the only kind of
a woman that is a suitable and agree
able wife to man whose whole being
is devoted to the interests of sci ence.
She reflects the lustre of his name in
a creditable manner.

1t appears from the reports that
have become current with regard to
that portion Of the Presidents mes
sage relating to Cuba, that he will
make no recommendations to Congress
on the subject, but will pursue his
present policy of strict neutrality un-
til the close Of his administration.
It is understood that several differ
ent offers of mediation have been
made and rejected by Spain. 1t is ex-
pected by members of the foreign re-
lations committee that the President
will take occasion to say what he has
done under the resolution odopted by
Congress at the last session, in the
way of exercising his good Offices, al
though he has not seen fit to recog-
nize the lligerency Of the insur-
gents. # this is correct the President
has then done more than he is credit
ed with, ard it has been the fault of
Spain that no benefcent.results have
accrued.
This may be. good diplomacy, but
the great mass Of the American peo-
pie, whose sympathies are with Cuba,
would have been better satisfied had
the President taken more decided
