Turbulent Vagrant.

Six Policemen Required tO krrest a
Turbulent Va&rant.
New York, June 20.--Policeman Morris
Cohen had fight with a beggar in front OF
the Astor House last night. The vagrant
was overpowered. but it took six police
men to carry him to the Church Street
station.
The beggar was George Watson, fifty
four years old. a machinist. He appeared
in front of the Astor House and tried to
collect aims from the men sitting in front
of the hotel. He was unsuccessful and be-
gan abusing them. Cohen came along and
ordered the beggar to move on.
Cohen is only about half the size OF
Watson. The latter grabbed the police
man about the neck. and then. jumping
away. kicked him on the jaw. Cohen seiz-
ed the beggar and the two fell struggling.
Cohen jumped up and was kicked again.
He drew his club and pounded the sidewalk
for assistance and then pounded Watson on
the head.
A crowd of a hundred had gathered, and
there were cries Of 'Shame'" and Don
club him!" Others who had seen the row
from the first yelled Give it to him.!
Watson still fought. and Cohen was fast
being overcome. when five other police
men arrived. The six carried the beggar
to the station, Watson fighting all the
way.
w. A. Stevens. of No. . Barclay Street.
and John Wills. of No. 70 Ann Street. went
to the Church Street station and compli-
mented Cohen before Sergeant Porter. and
said they were ready to go to headquart-
ers if anybody complained about the row.
Cohen rested an hour and went back on
his post.

CHILDREN EAGER TO MURDER
4 Girl Attempts to Kill Her Two Lit
tic Brothers.

New York, June 20.-Two cases of ho-
micidal mania in children Ave years old
came TO the attention OF the authorities
, among the physicians charged with the
care of such cases.
The most serious was that of Jennie
Fiero the daughter OF Joseph and Marie
Fiero, of No. $50 Morris Avenue. The
father is laborer and is in poor health
The mother is healthy and has four other
children. all OF whom are normal. Little
Jennie, however. is a typical criminal de-
generate. She began two years ago to ex-
hibit traces of mental alteration, but the
extent of her abnormality then was an
aversion to sleeping in bed and eating
wholesome food. She preferred TO sleep
on the floor. and devoured refuse which she
found in the streets.
Her parents had her committed TO the
institution for feeble-minded children on
Randall's Island, where she remained ff-
teen months. About three months ago
they took her home again ,and for a time
she was apparently much improved, but
few days ago she again began to exhibit
marked symptoms Of mental alteration.
Her mania took a homicidal turn, and

day bore on his face several severe

The girl obtained possession of large

stealthily up behind the baby. She was
about to plunge the knife into his side
when Mrs. Fiero seized her daughters
arm. A little later she tried to split the
skull of her nine-year- brother with a

in crawling on all fours.
DR.. Joseph ]. Smith. Of No. $40 East
143d Street. who was called in by her pa
rents, decided that the child was insane,
and advised her parents to try to have her
committed to an institution.
They took her to the Morrisania Police
Court yesterday morning. and there Mag
istrate Kudlich committed her to Bellevue
Hospital for examination as to her sanity.
In court Jennie was with difficulty re-
strained from crawling around the floor on
all fours. and when the magistrate asked
her what was the matter with her she said
that she was "sick in her head
When the child was taken to Bellevue it
was found that there was no provision for
the care of children in the pavilion for
the insane. She was turned over to George
Blair, Superintendent of the Outdoor Poor,
who sent her at once to Randall's Island.
1t is thought that her mania is the result
Of an epileptic tendency.
The second case, boy of the same age,
was taken to Bellevue Hospital by his
father an hour later. The father. who did
not give his name, said his boy was not to
be trusted with other children, and had
several times tried to kill his playmates

Excellent Showingof Three Is
lands Under the Conditions.
Estimate of the Financial Returns
With Peace Established.
Prospect of LOsses Soon Being Made
Good After the SuPpressi0n of
the RebelliOus Natives.

Information given out at the Treasury
Department estimates the cost OF prose
cutting the war against the insurrectionists
in the Philippine archipelago at about ST.
100000 a day, under the present condi-
tions. The amount has varied from a
much smaller figure since the precipitation
of hostilities by the rebels on February 4.
and has gradually increased. Naturally.
the longer the insurrection Is allowed to
exist, the United States becomes more and
more involved. while, with a sufficient
troops to terminate the rebellion in the
immediate future. there are indications
that after a few years of peace and pros
perity in the islands, the United States
will be fully compensated for its expendi-
ture of dollars.
Since the advent of the year 1899, three
OF the islands, Luzon, Panay and Cebu. it
is estimated. have netted the United States
about $3,500.000. During this period 1t
should be remembered. the archipelago has
been in a disturbed condition with war rag
ing most of the time, which practically
causes a stagnation OF business. 1t is
again estimated that the various islands
will place into the United States Treasury,
under prosperous and peaceful conditions
about $i,000,000 a month. which amount
will gradually increase as the Inhabitants
grow in civilization and trade progresses.
The customs reports at the War Depart
ment for the first four months Of the
present year. place the receipts from Ma
nila, Iloilo. and Cebu at 81, ,55i. .99i.6S, di-
vided as follows: Customs receipts at Ma

AN ADVERTISING SHOW.
Unique Exhibition Showing the Arts
Employed to Gain Trade.
(From the London standard.)

Fro,n the London Standard)
The art of advertising has attained to
| such diversity of method that an exhibition
| was inevitable. At Niagara Hall. West
minister, may be seen during the next fort
| night a display of some of the means by
| which energetic and enterprising men keep
| their business before the public. The me-
dium which, as the catalogue frankly ac-
knowledges lis looked upon by most ad-
vertisers OF sound views and experience as
that which brings most grist to the milr'
| is the newspaper. a collection of journals
| is not in itself an overpowering attrac-
| ton. yet il can be made useful when ar
| ranged in typographical divisions. as at
Niagara Hall. and supplemented with es-
Inmates OF the cost of advertising over q
particular county or district. These COM
| parative tables for newspapers, biil-post-
! ing. and house o-house visitation show
| that the first is not only the most ef-
| fective but also the cheapest medium. OF
the more snowy methods there is be-
wildering variety, ranging from paper
knickknacks to huge posters. Pictures
have been used for advertising ever since
the art was known. Only in recent years.
however, has pictorial advertisement ar
rived at any refinement. Cheret. Willetta.
and Mucha revclutionized the poster, and
set an example which has banished Iinny
of those puerile monstrosities that once
did service on the boardings. How wide
ly the new style differs from the old is
revealed by glance around the artists
gallery Here are some striking speci-
mems of effective design and color.
OF show cards, enamels. and electric
signs there is an endless display. Dutch
German and French challenge our su-
premacy in these departments, and have
sent many attractive exhibits. The Dutch
for some reason, have manifested especial
interest in the subject. and are repre-
sented by no fewer than ten firms. 1t is
satisfactory, however. to note that Brit
ish firms are unsurpassed by any of these
foreign competitors. The brightness, nov
city, and artistic finish about much of the
work in this department should appeal to
many who are not directly concerned in
the art which it is intended to serve. The
electric sign is one of the latest additions
to the mechanism of advertising. How ef-
fective it can be made-at any rate. in
winters seen in the Central Hall, where
is a dazzling array of colors and of pic
lures illuminated by a contrivance that
resembles the metallic web of music box
or the cardboard pattern in jacquard
loom. Examples are given of window
dressing. in which there is evidently abun-
dant opportunity for uniting the pictorial
art with the material whose uses are to
be impressed upon the public mind. Among
other objects deserving attention are those
illustrating methods that may be employed
with advantage in railway stations and on
tramcars and omnibuses. 1t will be seen
from this brief survey of the contents of
Niagara Hall that the exhibition is likely
to be of interest as well as of service to
all who make use Of public advertisements
in their business or pursuits.

Il believe that communications with the

expected; indeed. that our whole religion

matter of fact, We practice intercourse
with the spiritual world every day of our
lives. l feel bound TO respect the testi-

jects.
when / lived near Boston l had fIe-
quent conversations with Prof Hodgson.
American Secretary of the English Society
of Psychical Research. He had given his
life to the study OF mental and psychical
phenomena He told me he had investigat
ed $50 instances of 'spiritual.sm' in Amer
lea, and had not discovered one fact which
could not be accounted FOX on ordinary
natural grounds. This was in 1892. Since
then l have heard from him that he has
changed his judgment: that in continuing
his studies he has been compelled 10 face
facts which could not be explained on any
ground except tnat OF Supernatural d5ea-
cy. He is convinced that there are some
facts-a small Quantity-mingled with an
immense amount Of trickery and fraud in
the so-called phenomena OF spiritual!sm.
Now. mark you. if there is any res;du-
um of fact whatever. il must be accounted
for. 1t cannot be ignored.
"Spiritualists and mediums have existed
since the beginning of the world We be-
lieye that mediums and those who apply
to them are deliberately deceived by evil
spirits: that II any real communication
comes from the invisible world ii doss not
come from the deceased person al all. but
from a lying spirit who personates the de-
ceased person. The fruits of sp-rtualism
convince US that the whole system eman-
ates from that cunning. malignant spirit.
Satan, the bitter enemy OF Jesus Christ.
Every time you go TO med um or

TRIES TO BLIND A GIRL.
An Assault Made With Pepper and
Needle Points.

| Needle Points.
Danbury, Conn, June 20.-An unknown
assailant attacked Miss Ollie Richmond
near her home in the main street of this
city last evening and attempted to destroy
her sight by dashing into her face hand
full of cayenne pepper, in which had been
mixed the broken points of fine needles.
Miss Richmond. who is nineteen years
old. lives with her brotherin-law. Will
liam Slade, at No. 313 Main Street. She
had been to the house OF a neighbor on an
errand, and was returning home alone.
Her route lay along Main Street for few
hundred feet.
There is vacant store close to her
home. and her assailant was evidently hid
| den in the shadows Of the doorway. The
electric lights DO not burn on moonlight
! nights, and it was difficult TO distinguish
form close to the building.
| Miss Richmond heard footstep behind
her as she passed the vacant store. and
| as she turned a rough hand was placed
| over her mouth and her head was drawn
| back. She had brief glance at her as
! sailant. and then she was blinded by
cloud of pepper which was flung into her
eyes. The burning of the pepper was ac-
companied by a singing sensation as she
attempted to wipe it from her eyes. Her
assailant released her in an instant. and
she heard his footsteps as he ran. appar-
emily through an alleyway which leads OF
from Main Street at that point.
Nearly blinded and in great agony, Miss
Richmond groped her way to the gate of
her home and attracted the attention of
her sister who assisted her into the
house. Poultices were applied to her eyes
until DR.. Nathaniel Selleck arrived The
physician discovered that mixed with the
pepper were many minute pieces Of steel.
some of which had worked their way be-
meath the eyelids and were causing ex
cruciating pain.
1t was feared that other pieces of steel
had entered the eyeballs. but today Miss
Richmond recovered her sight, and it is
believed that all OF the steel has been re-
moved. Microscopic inspection showed
that the steel points were the sharp ends
of many needles. The needles had been
broken Off close to the points. The as
sailant evidently expected that his victim
would rub them into her eyes in trying to
wipe away the pepper.
Miss Richmond has been unable to give
the police the slightest clew to the iden-
tity of her assailant. She knows of no
one who could wish to injure her. Persons
in the vicinity saw a tall man, who wore
dark clothing and black hat, drawn over
his eyes, lettering about the doors of the
vacant store for some time before the at
tack was made. BY many 1t is thought
that the attack upon Miss Richmond re-
suited from mistaken identity-that the as
sailant mistook her for another young wo-
man with whom he had quarrelel or OF
whom he was jealous.
