WOMAN WITH NERVE
Alone and. Unaided She Holds Up "a z Ho1d-Up Man.
Eccovers Not Only Her PoclSetbooG, But Also Enough Change to Fill It-And the Mnn Felt Like
 Less Than Thirty Cents.

According to the Chicago Times Herald this incident happened on State street the other day North side woman, being tempted by the attractive display in the window of big jewelry shop, stopped to admire. She had heard of pickpockets and was always careful at circuses and extra times like the G. A. R. gatherings to put her pocketbool1 "where moths could not rust nor thieves break in and stcal,'' at least not without good deal of hard work.
 This North side woman had some difficulty in elbowing her way to the glass case where the diamonds spar kled and the rubies and emeralds g,eamed. Soon she found herself wedged in tightly by the men and women pressing behind and around her. As she showed close to the win dow to make more room forAhe oth- CTS she was dimly conscious of blue coated man at her right. Suddenly she felt just the hint of touch on her dress skirt in the region of her pocket. At first nothing suggested itself to her except that there was little extra crowding. and she contin-
 
 like a flash the thought of pickpoclS- cts went through her brain. She inn mediately felt for her pocketbook. It was gone.
 Very quietly and quickly she left the crowd, and as she got to the outer edge of it she saw two men before her wearing blue coats. They were not together. "Now,' she thought to her self as one turned to the left across State street, "IH see If he walks off as if he has a definite object in view" He did There was no mistaklng the businesslike air of the man. The sec ond sauntered slowly north, giancing furtively back several times and up and down Washington street. That's my man." thought the woman. Then she walked slowly after him, deter mined to work out the case herself. The man crossed to the opposite side of State street and stepped inside the entrance of a big building. Crowds

Large Crowd Present. at Democratic
 @ Rally Last Night.

There was a large crowd present at the democratic rally in the opera house last night. Upon the arrival of the speakers, George Fred Williams of Boston on the GAO train he was es- corted to the Commercial hotel where he was entertained by the committee until 1:15, when he was driven to the opera house, preceded by the drum - corps and a line of red fire At the opera house MT Kennedy, chairman of the meeting, arose and, addressing the audience, said that the last rally of the campaign would be held there Monday evening and that Homer $. Cummings of Stamford, member of the national democratic committee from this state, would address the rally. He next introduced the speaker of the evening, George Fred Williams, who then addressed the audience on the main issues of the day. Ar Will Hams delivered .a very able address touching on the different subjects and showed that he was thoroughly famil- far with the issues of the day. He first compared the two parties of the day to the two parties of Jefferson and Hamilton's time, stating that almost the same issues were to be cOntended with then as now. He touched on the question of national banks. and their contributions to the republican cam paign, stating that in return they were given the control of the monetary system of this country, thereby leav- ing it in their power to create panic at any time that they saw fit. He then spoke of the trusts and the oppo- sition of the democratic party to the same. He quoted the last letter of Thomas Jefferson and said thot the same conditions exist to-day as eN- iSted at that time. He stated that we do not need any special legislation for the supervision of trusts as the laws on the statute books are enough if they are enforced. but that the present attorneygeneral, Mir GriggS, will not prosecute the trusts as was shown in his statement after he was elected: Il have no time to bother with trusts.
 MT Williams touched very briefly on the Porto Rican bill, imperialism and the Chinese question. explaining each to the audience very clearly and briefly. The address lasted from : :25 till S:45. about one hour and ten min utes. The speaker was then escorted to the train where he was met by the Waterbury committee and taken to Waterbury. where he delivered an
 other address wholly on imperialism. After he finished speaking in the opera
 house three cheers were given for Bryan and Stevenson and the speaker.

were passing in and cut of the cle- met man friend who seemed sur priscd at the hurried bow he received.
 The blue-coatcd man, who was well dressed and carried cane, hung the stick on his arm, and, slipping his hand into his side pocket, took out the little flat pocketbool in the pres ence of its owner. By this time she was right beside him. Clasping his hand with the poclletbool in it, she exclaimed: That's my poclletbool!"
 The man seemed turned to stone. He never said a word, but he grew white as death and seemed unable to take his eyes eff his accuser.
 Pretty business you are in," she said, "robbing women on the street. Will you tell me what possesses a well dressed man as you are to follow such a coursc?' By this time he got his breath and answered.:
 ''I wanted to get some prescriptions flled.'
 That's a nice story to trump up," was the scornful reply. Do you sup pose for an instant that I believe .. would turn you over to the police, and 1 would do it too but l cannot go to the trouble of prosecuting you"
 All this time the mans eyes never left Ter face, and the people passed them going to and from the elevators. The woman then opened the pocket book and found it empty. For an in stant she.was disconcerted. Then, re- solving to make bold face, she said:
 Give me that dollar bll.''
 The man still, without taking his eyes from hers, went into vest pock- ct and drew out the bill.
 'Now, I'll take the 5o-cent silver piece"
 That, too, came forth.
 "Now the quarter"
 The coin was handed he-.
 "You may go now" said this holdup woman, 'bGs if I ever meet you on State street I'll call the police and have you arrested" The man lifted his hat and, passing onto the side walk, turned ~ west on Washington street and disappeared. Then the woman went into a drug stcre and <ook dose of promo seltzer.

The concert given by the ladies of
st Paul's Guild, at the opera house

both financially and as an enjoyable
entertainment, and was far above the
average of such performances usually
given by amateurs.
The selections given by the maudo-
lin club were excellent aud perfect in
time and harmony. Piano solos, By
Mrs. B, B. Wescott, we're highly appre-
eiated, and showed not only thorough
musical culture but, also, remarkable
technique.
The vocal solos, by Mrs. William
Walker, Jr., Miss Susie Stewart and
Mr.. J. D. Boyle were very fine, indeed.
Mr.. Boyle has a superb bass voice and
Miss Stewart, as a soprano singer, has
decided vocal talent.
The violin solo, by T. G. Sunderland,
with flute accompaniment, by g. R
Norris, was a performance Of high
merit The piano solo, by Miss Nellie
Harman was received with marked
favor By the audience.

as usual, received unstinted applause
A reading, by Mr.. Norris, although
somewhat impromptu, called out much

bers on the program. An hours dan

IHPRIsoEED FOR FIGHTINe.
Ed Cole and Lewis Cullins Given Thirty
Days IN Jail for DisordsrIy Conduct
At a Country Dance.

Ed Cole and Lewis CulIins were
members Of q surprise party one night
last week and Wednesday afternoon
they we're given a surprise in Justice
CalVert's court when they were each
sentenced to 30 days IN Jail and to pay
the costs OF suit. They are now serv-
ing their sentence.
Last Thursday night hthe pleasantest
surprise party Of the season" was held
at the home OF Carl Rohr, in Voltaire
township The parties who got up the
surprise" ali live in GoOdIand and
Cole and CuIIins we're mem bers Of the
party. When they arrived at the Rohr
home the family had retired for the
night, but they were aroused out Of bed
to be surprised and surprised they
we're before the party left. It was de-
cided that dancing was to be the main
feature Of the evenings festivities, and
while the dance was going on with joy
uncOn6ned Cole sprang the chief sur
prise Of the evening which marked the
close Of the dancing feature.
The '4manly art" exhibition came
like thunder from a cloudless sky.
Cole walked up and struck Lewis Cul
Inns a cruel Highlander on the jaw,
as be thought Lewis was the cause Of
his partner leaving him on the dancing
floor. Then the event was on, and it
is said that it was the real thing until
hostilities ceased a half hour later.
Cole was being wOrsted all the time,
bat like a bulldog, he wouldn't give up,
and time and time again when knocked
down be would rise again! Finally,
not being satisfied with being soundly
thrashed BY Lewis Cullins, he attacked
John Cullins, a brother Of Lewis, and
after trying to persuade him to desist
but without avail, John was compelled
to strike Cole in self defense.
It was the knockout blow! John
landed a hard one on Coles face.
knocking him down. Tt was all of with
Cole-he was licked, badly, and Orna
mented with as beautiful pair Of black
eyes as anyone could wish. John Cul-
Inns suffered from the fracture of a
bone in the right hand, the result Of
the blow to Cole.
During the melee which took place
in the house, Mr.. Rohr and wife ex
erted considerable effort. to part the
pugnaciOus men, but without result,
and at the sig ht of the blood that
flowed from a wound Of one Of the
one of the girls tainted.
Chairs, window lights and a door
we're b rOken and the carpet was blood
soaked. For this damage was asked by
Mr. Rohr, but Cole and CulIins re-
fused to pay. ROhr then had them
arrested, charged wit b breach of the
peace, and the +sur prise" was on them
