AN ASSAULT
Made Upon Twelve Year Old Girl, in
Gilmer County, w. Va.

Made Upon n Twelve Year Old Girl, i'm
Gilmer County, w. Va.
PARKERsBuRG, w. VA, March 2O.-
Details of a dastardly attempt to out
rage the person of Fairy, the little
twelve-year-old daughter of Mr..
Chrisman, residing near Stout's Mills,
in Gilmer county, were received here
today.
About noon Friday the little child
was despatched to- the store, about a
mile from her home, on a purchasing
trip. When at lonely place in the
road, high bluff, near the Marshall
homestead, a stranger grabbed her.
The little girl began to struggle and
made an attempt to cry out. when the
brute clutched her throat and in formed
her that should she make an outcry he
would kill her and throw her into the
river, at the same time endeav Jripg to
force her over the bluff.
The little heroine fought like a man,
and in the struggle her clothing was
torn to shreds, and but for the noise OF
an approaching vehicle the child would
probably have been forced over the
precipice into the river below. When
the noise of the vehicle was heard the
man released his hold on the child's
throat and fed. ...

afternoon, to hear the Rev. Mr. Coil
talk on the subject of Psychological
Phenomena"
Mr. Coil instructed and entertained
in manner peculiar to himself. He
related number of instances where
events of peculiar psychological inter-

considerable thought and research.

old, presented herself at the desk Edging
up to the front of the line of waiting aliens,

that he did not mean to be Impairment

seems to be an unlimited quantity. 1t is re-
ported that one man picked up In single
DAY 100000 worth of gold. This report has
net been verified and, though probably true
to some extent has been magnified. There
is no doubt that enormous sums OF gold

Continuing, DIR. Day said: Depending on
the present wages, which are largely based
on the cost OF supplies, neither the miners
nor their employers can afford to touch dirt
which will yield less than $40 day TO each
man employed. That IS, each man must
earn at least $40 every day, otherwise it is
Improbable for them to work at all. Under
present conditions there is very little gold
work being done there which is yielding less
than $50 day to man. In other words,
as soon as they exhaust the earth that pays
bilities being that just as good dirt is found
as soon as they finish work on their present
stake. 1t is very likely that improved meth
DDS and considerable capital will be put in
there so as to make it pay to work S. dirt,
and soon as this is done and the less
richer earth is worked there will be an
enormous increase in the quantity of the
gold output; for, instead of having to hunt
around for the creamy jobs, they will be
able to work everything right along |
judge that the output will be increased
twenty times.
What is more valuable particularly to
the American side, is the probability of
striking quartz veins of sufficient value to
Justify the putting up of improved ma
chnery to extract the gold, and feel quite
sure that as soon as that is known as a
matter Of fact there will be more than
enough capital ready to start the work in
the hope of making a big strike. In a word,

Preston's estimate of the amount Of gold
taken from the Klondike is, in round num-
beers, Sc, 100000. 1t is at present, however,
exceedingly difficult to obtain anything, like
authentic figures on the output of gold, as
the Treasury Department here only has
quarterly returns from the mint at San
Francisco, and what is received there by
no means covers the amount brought into
this. country. Some is deposited at Helena.
Seattle, and quite quantity has come as

are only received annually; so it is plain TO
see that anything like accurate figures Will
not be had for some time.

Children and Music.
New York Times.


A good many people seem to have rather
curious ideas about the proper way to edu-
cate their children to artistic taste. Most of
up their children to love music Hence they
take them constantly and relentlessIy to
hear the most solid works. 1t is little short
of pathetic at times TO see boxes full Of
heavy-eyed, long-faced little folk vainly
struggling to swallow such compositions as
SchumannS overture to Manfred" or
BrahmS's symphony in d. But at the opera
these little ones must have an even worse
time of 1t, for there they are confronted
with action for which they naturally seek
some explanation. How intensely interest ed
must little children be during that long
scene in which Wotan and Mime hurl the
conundrumS of creation at one another. or
during the dialogue of Faust and Marguerite
or during the contest in the hall of song in
Tannhauser." How easy it is to explain to
them the ethical significance of such
scenes, and how simple must the story of
such a work as Der Prophet or Der Ring
des Nibelungen" appear to them They ask
questions, for their minds are inuuisitive
and then comes trouble. One child recently
demanded why Marguerite was put i'm pris-
on, and was told that it was because she
had married against the wishes of her fam
lily Another child sits matinee after matinee
waiting for the dragon. WheA Siegfriad
winds a blast upon his horn and brings the
childS eyes sparkle with Joy. 1t is the one
thing that he understands in all the opera.
And after the dragon is dead the rest is ali
wretchedness for him. But he is having his
musical taste cultivated Poor little music
