A WOMAN WINGS A BURGLAR.
BRAVE DEED OF MRS. JOHN p.
McMANUS.
She Shoots and Wounds an In
truder While the Sergeant
Sleeps Peacefully.

Most women scream when in the
presence of great danger, and not
few faint away, but Mrs. John p. Nc
Manus, wife of Police Sergeant Nc
Manus, is an exception to the rule, and
for downright bravery and grit takes
the lead of Sacramento women, so far
as heard from.
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning
while, the worthy Sergeant was sleep
ing the sleep of the just, his good wife
was wide awake, because there is a
baby in the house which asserts its
rights. The little one had been quieted
and sent 10 napland, and Mrs. McMa-
nus was wide awake.
She was just getting ready to court
sleep when she heard some fancy dishes
on a center-table in her rear parlor
rattle. She understood what that
meant-a burglar was in the house.
The Sergeant slept peacefully on, and
Mrs. McManus thought fast. TO wake
her husband meant that he would make
noise, investigate, and probably get
shot, so instead of doing what almost
any other woman in town would have
done, she merely reached out and took
the Sergeants trusty 3S-caliber revolv-
er from the stand at the head of the
bed and settled down to await develop
ments.
The wait was short. The bedroom
opens into long room, which connects
with one of the parlors by set of
swinging doors, and in the course of
his operations the burglar soon reached
them.
Mrs McManus heard the burglar
walk to the doors, and an instant later
they began to move inward as he press
ed against them. Not wishing to culti-
vate a closer acquaintance with the
thief, she concluded the proper mo-
ment had come, and without more ado
leveled the revolver toward the door
and fired
The burglar made a run for the bay
window of the front parlor, through
which he had effected an entrance, and
the Sergeant, rudely aroused from
pleasant dreams, landed in the middle
of the floor and inquired whether or
not the chimney had tumbled down.
Mrs. McManus simply said, Burg
larsi' and the Sergeant made a run
for a second revolver and darted out
of the room, preceded by his wife, who
puSHtO Ilil udCh, anu lIlSlSiSu tildt Siic
could get the THEFT was her game.
The burglar was gone, but he had
been winged by the plucky woman. The
bullet from her revolver had crashed
through the jamb of the door, and that
1t connected with the hand Of the burg
lar, with which he was probably stead
ying himself while he investigated, was
evidenced by copious sprinkling of
blood where the ball had cut through.
The burglar had evidently thrust his
wounded hand into his pocket as he
ran, for just inside the window through
which he made his exit was handker-
chief literally soaked with gore, and
the curtains of the window were also
bloody where he had grasped them in
making his escape. Several drops of
blood We're also on the window sill, and
at least one burglar knows what it
means to run against a woman who
knows how and is not afraid to shoot,
and to shoot for keeps.
Captain of Police Fisher occupies the
upper part Of the house, but he was
absent when the plucky wife of the
worthy Sergeant held the fort.

PROBABLE SUICIDE.
Mysterious Disappearance Of s
Lower L-Street Woman.

There seems to be good reason for
believing that Philomene Grignon, 9TH
erwise known to habitues of lower L
street as French Jennie has com
mitted suicide.
The unfortunate woman has been
missing from her usual haunts for two
days but all of her wearing apparel
and other effects are still in her room
at 2OS1a l. street.
Some days ago she limited to another
woman of her class that she was not
long for this world and wanted her
friends to accept her rings and other
trinkets.
Police Captain Fisher, who has been
on the lookout for her, is of the belief
that she has sought death in either the
river or China Slough.

MASCAGNI'S TROUBLES.
He Complains Of Persecution by
False Newspaper Reports.

A small newspaper in Bologna printed
a few days ago a short letter, received
from an occasional correspondent, in
which the astounding statement was
made that Pietro Mascagni, the cele-
brated composer of "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" had tried to commit suicide by
means of three shots from a revolver.
In this silly season. the correspond
ents, especially of foreign papers,
thanked heaven for such a tit-bit The
news went all over the world, and had
to be denied the next day.
Mascagni has taken this opportunity
to write long, witty and telling let
ter to a. prominent Roman paper, in
which he denounces a species Of per-
secution by fabricated news, of which
he is the object AS is known, the
maestro is the director Of the famous
Rossini Musical Lyceum of Pesaro, one
of the highest positions of the kind in
Italy, the giving of which to him has
reused much envy. Some time ago the
Parma correspondent of a newspaper
asserted that Mascagni had been ap-
pointed the head of the conservato DIRE
there-another of the most important
institutions in the peninsula. MascagnI
wrote denying this, and saying that he
had never contemplated leaving Pc
saro The next day the correspondent
denied the denial. and asserted in the
most absolute way" that his state
ment was correct Of course, the poor
maestro did not dare repeat his asser-
ton, fearing something worse, and
there the matter ended.

nounced that he was about to resign
his position in Pesaro. Rememb bering
his former experience. Mascagni kept
quiet and waited to see the effect OF
these tactics. In fact, in a few days
the correspondent from Leghorn, his
birthplace. announced that he had a
telegram from Mascagni authorizing a
denial Of the resignation. OF this cor
respondent Mascagni had never even
heard Then came the suicide. Miss
ing myself three tines exclaimed

was the cause of the attempt on his
own life. Let us see" he says. might

HOW TO KEEP CLOTHING.

Long Worn Garments Should Be Well
Aired.
Everyday garments should be disin-
fected. Brushing is not sufficient, as ii
does not remove the unpleasant odors
that come from long usage. SoJ1e wom-
en- sprinkle their waists and dresses
with scent and use sachet powders to
perfume their bonnets and wraps. AL
this would be admirable were it avail
ing. Scent needs to be overpowering to
conceal the unfragrant emanations from
an old garment. Then the bouquet is
fulsome and vulgar
Better than scent bags or potpourri is
q clothespole and an open window.
Turn the garments wrong side out, and
let the air and sunshine disinfect and
deodorize them. All night airing is
good, but day of blowing winds and
purifying sunlight is better. When a
bonnet lining or set of dress shields
becomes peroeptible, it should be re-
moved Cloth garments can be sponged
and pressed clean. A pint of benzine
costs cents and will clean anything in
the way of kid, silk, lace or worsted.
Camphor is another common disinfect-
ant and not half appreciated If after
brushing the only coat or gown it is
sprinkled with spirits of camphor and
aired few hours, it will be tidy and
grateful. Garments and belongings that
smell of nothing are the oleanest and
most agreeable. There is always sus-
picion of bad health, bad sanitation or
bad habits where there is much perfum-
ing. If q scent is desired to neutralize
what is known as shop smells, emanat-
ing from the laundry, factory, packing
room, etc., orris, muscadine, bergamot
or bit of sandal wood is preferable to
the sickly sweetness Of manufactured
perfumes. Deodorized alcohol, with q
teaspoonful of scent to pint, used as a
spray, will leave the clothing redolent
Of neatness. And for the skin there is
nothing more aromatic and agreeable
than handful of lavender water.

now to Select Your Winter Wraps.

Women who are short and stout
should shun tho long rows of ruffled
capes and elaborate coats, while those
who are tall and slender should never
linger before the graceful sweep OF
wraps whose end and aim is to give an
appearance of height rather than of
breadth in the wearer. This might seem
superfuous advice if one did not see SO
many victims of this very mistake 60
ing about every season and looking as
miserable as they feel. The next thing
is to select the color that will best har-
monize with all probable toilets, and
here the Rubicon is reached. OF course
black is always acceptable and becom-
ing, but black is too somber for young
women and often trying to older ones ;
so to decide upon the exact shade that
will wear nicely, that will not intruds
itself at any time and that toward the
end of the season will still look at least
presentable is a task that tries ones
utmost power of discrimination.
