THE BOWKER TRAVEL TALKS.

With three such topics as The Trans
vaal, Spain and Hawaii, the paradise of
the Pacific, DIR. Bowker's programme
ought to prove of exceptional interest.
No one as yet has ever presented The
Transvaal in America save DR.. Bowker,
and the reports of this lecture are most
fattering. He travelled extensively over
South Africa and this talk wildly de-
scribes the greatest resources of that
wonderful land which ID destined to our
own, traversss the gold lands of johann
nesburg, the lovely colony of Natal and
the diamond fields Of far famed Kimber-
ley, where Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Belt and
the late Barley Barnato made their mil
lions. The present status of the Briton
and Boer is fully discussed under Kruger's
rule and the talk ends amidst the dreamy
beauties of Cape Town, that exquisite
maritime idyl Of the far away southern
seas. The fawless atmosphere of South
Africa is favorable for photography and
the illustrations to this talk are especially
fine, being made by Lemon of Cape Town
and Meldebrook of Durham, photographer
by appointment to the Queen. The
lecture will beIgiven at the Jefferson to-
night.

hundreds stood outside, to bestow trlb-
ute of respect over the remains OF Clar-
ence NJ. Richardson, and to listen to the
funeral services which were held yester-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock from his late
residence SIS Portland street.
Cbandler's band of 20 pieces, in dress

the beautiful and impressive hymn,
"Dennis. Rev. Mr.. Phelan of the Preble

A LAMP HER WEAPON.
Trouble in a Brown Street Boarding House
Last Night.

A young man with bleeding head,
and his clothes dripping with kerosene
oil, dropped in at Guppy's drug store,
about 1920 last night in quest of surgical
attention. The night manager of the
store brought out sheet of court
plaster, a sponge and basin of water
and proceeded to dress tho wound.
The patient was piled with questions
by several customers who were in the
store at the time and by piecemeal his
story was obtained. He said he had been
calling on lady at Carleton's boarding
house on Brown street, and while he was
there another woman to whom he had
paid some attention of late, called. Be
fore he had time to say a word to the
newcomer, she snatched lighted hand
lamp from table and struck him over
the head with it. That was all he cared
to say about the case.
Meanwhile. Edward E. Carleton, pro.
prietor of the boarding house, had run
across Officer Rowe and summoned him
to the house to arrest the intruder.
Officer Rowe found her justl outside the
door. When he placed her under arrest
she turned upon him and Selling one of
his fingers between her teeth held on like
grim death, making wound that will
bother him for weeks. The officer sue
ceeded in getting his hand away from her
mouth and restraining her from doing
further injury.
EA call was sent in and in few minutes
the patrol wagon arrived, and Officer
Rowe's prisoner was bundled into it and
taken to the police station, where she
passed the night. She said her name is
Mary Riley. She was not at all laxative
when she reached the station, preferring
to wait till morning before telling her
story.
Mr. Carleton name is down on the
notice station slate as complainant in the
case. He informed the officers that Miss
Riley had assaulted one Of his lady board
ers. and wanted her brought before the
court, not only on a charge of assault,
but also for breaking and entering.
If the prisoner decides to stand trial
some racy testimony is likely to come
out at the municipal court this fore
noon.
Nobody seems to know the name of
the man over whose head the lamp was
broken.

love and high appreciation of the Chris

church and Sunday school to draft reso-
lutions on the death of Mr.. Crosby.
