MANIAC RUNS WILD.
TWICE HE LEAPS FROM SPEEDING AM

LEFT-EXHAUsTED POLICEMEN FIGHT
PURSUE AND CAPTURE HIM

PURSUE AND CAPTURE HIM
Fighting desperately with raving maniac
two policemen and a surgeon had the battle OF
their lives last night in an ambulance that
dashed at a mad pace for Bellevue. Twice the
maniac overcame the trio and escaped from the
ambulance. knocking down pedestrians and
causing women and children to flee in all drec-
tions as he rushed screaming through the street
striking at everybody near him.
The maniac John Langfelder. twenty-eight
years old, whose occupation and home are
not known by the police. He was found last
night at Delaney and Chrystie SITS fighting a
mob of men and boys He is a massive fellow
standing about six feet five inches, and weigh
ing about 225 pounds Policeman Fitzpatrick
Of the Eldridge-st. station, placed him under
arrest on a charge of disorderly conduct. The
prisoner went TO the station without giving
trouble.
TRIES TO CHOKE POLICEMAN.
The sergeant at the station saw that the pris-
demented, and called an ambulance
from Gouverneur Hospital. DT. Ryan respond
ed. and. after examining Langfelder. pronounced
him as suffering from acute mania He was
placed in the ambulance and Policeman Fitz-
patrick was sent guard him.
The ambulance had not gone a block when
Langfelder became violent and attacked the po.
liceman and the doctor. Both saw that they
were no match for the maniac, and that they
had a poor chance TO get the restraint belt on
him. They put back to the station. where they
got Policeman Kilday TO assist them
I'm the strongest man in the world" Lang
fielder cried out he sprang from the couch
and clutched Fitzpatrick's throat and attempted
to choke him to death But Kilday and Dr.
Ryan grabbed him and forced him back on the
couch. The driver of the ambulance had been
instructed make Bellevue Hospital with all
possible speed. and the ambulance shot ahead
Despite the efforts of the policemen and the
doctor. they We're unable to quiet Langfelder.
II and at First-st- and Second-ave. he jumped
from the ambulance. DR.. Ryan and the police
men were completely exhausted but the latter
pursued the maniac. Women and children fed
in terror as Langfelder came dashing along
and several men who walking along the
street were felled to the ground by his powerful
blows.

caught him. but he fought them off Closing

Is the Actor IIIiteratef
By Stuart Robson, in the August
E0riIrn

By Stuart Robson, In the August
Forum.
Impartial observers of present day
players will admit that they are men
of intellect and refinement, and stu
dents on whom the badge of iliiteracy
cannot be consistently placed. The
very nature of their profession pre-
cludes the possibility of ignorant actors
winning the laurel. Intellectual dis
cernment, if not education, is essential
for the proper Interpretation of the au-
thor's thoughts. The parrot actor is
generally relegated to the rear rank.
A man of limited brain capacity may
become a successful stage critic. in the
popular acceptance of the term, but not
a successful stage exponent. 1t is easy
for the facetious critic to tear down in
a single sitting the structure which the
actor has spent weeks of studious prep
aration to erect. The pen Is mightier
than the buskin.
If actors were the untutored barbara
ans described by certain writer's, pub
lie patronage would be withdrawn from
the theater; every drama would be-
come a farce and Shakespeare. an
abomination. Imagine a company of
stupid, uneducated Thespians trying to
produce one of the plays Of the immor-
tai bard! Charles Dickens said that
some writer's labor under the impress
sion that their mission is to amuse the
reading public at the expense of the
player. Their pens are stepped in ridi-
cule, though their wit seldom enter
tains anybody but themselves"
The scurrilous type of some alleged
critics causes a suspicion that IL they
should depart from their accustomed
methods and treat the actor seriously,
the managing editor would quickly call
for their designations. Fortunately,
such men do not represent the many
fair-minded newspaper writer's OF
which this country Is justly proud. The
standard of the theatrical profession
cannot be measured by those alleged
actors the hight OF whose ambition Is
to pose on public thoroughfares. Real
actors have neither the time nor the
inclination for such statesque displays.
They confine their acting to the stage.
For more than three centuries the dra-
matte literature of the world has been
largely furnished by actors. The great
est play of any time, with the single
exception of the Sheridan era-from
Ben Jonson, Shakespeare, Moliere,
down to T. w. Robertson, Dion Bouci-
cault and Augustus Thomas-has been
written by an actor. The actor Shakes
peare invented so many new words
that since the time when learning
triumphed DER her barbarous foes" no
clerical denunciator of the stage and
its people has been able to denounce
them without using the very words

Some Arctic DeIicacies.

From the Youths Companion.
This is the way an Esquimau lady
sits at the head of her table and dis
penses hospitality, and these are the
delicate items in her bill of fare. They
were tested at first hand by w. H.
Glider when, In crossing Siberia, at
the north. he had to accept native Gus
toms with what grace he might.
No matter how early you may awak-
en- in the morning, you will always md
the mistress of the house already up
that is, her position has changed from
reclining to sitting. But as soon as
she observes that you are really awake
she hands you a small piece of meat
to steady your nerves until breakfast
time.
Then she goes into the next apart
ment, which is merely an inclosure for
keeping the dogs away from the stores,
and after fifteen minutes OF pounding
and chopping returns with the break
fast.
A large fiat wooden tray is placed on
the floor, and the landlady takes her
position at one end in the attitude ele-
gantly described as squatting. The
family and their guests gather around
the board on either side. lying fiat on
their stomachs, with their heads to-
ward the breakfast and their feet out.
The first course is some frozen weeds,
mixed with seal oil and eaten with
small portions of fresh blubber, which
the lady of the house cuts with large
chopping knife.
The next course is walrus meat This
is also cut up by the presiding lady,
and is served with not unstinting
hand. At this portion of the meal the
one who can swallow the largest piece
without chewing has the advantage,
and the only way to get even with him
is to keep one piece in your mouth and
two in your hand.
After this point has been thoroughly
discussed there comes a large piece Of
walrus hide, which has a small por-
ton of blubbber attached, and the hair
still on the outside. 1t is about an inch
thick, and very tough. so that 1t is
impossible to affect 1t by chewing. 1t
is therefore cut into very small pieces
by the hostess, and finishes the meal.

"ELECTRIC NEURALGIA"
LondOners Get n New Disease Along
with Their Trolley Grams"
From the London Express.

From the London Express.
Chiswick is nothing if not original.
It has now even invented a new disease
called "electri-currential-a approximo-
neuralgia" 1t is not yet in the Of
fetal nosology, but will find it's way
there if the Chiswickian doctors can
make a successful epidemic of it.
One of them states that he has al
ready six patients suffering from 1t,
and hopes shortly to announce more,
while the medical officer of health is
quite excited about 1t, because none
of the other towns that have electric
trans ever thought of 1T.
1t is defined as "a hybrid, produced
by the incubation of ordinary neural
gia with tram cars" and "An Old CHS
wickian" has written to the Standard
to say that his doctor (the physician
with the six patients) explains it as
produced by the proximity of an cleo
trio current!'
Readers began wondering If they
might be drowned by proximity to the
sea while they sat on the shore, or
shot by proximity to a revolver If they
passed a gunsmith's, and the Express
sent a representative to ask the chief
engineer to the company if he suffered
from neuralgia from proximity"
He said he didn't, and the other ex-
perts who were with him said they
didn't either. They began, in fact, to
smile and make disrespectful remarks
Another said, Ridiculous! Electricity
moves on a defined path; it doesn't go
straying about the atmosphere like
that We couldn't afford to let tive
make 1t to drive out cars with, not to
waste in doles on odd passers-by."
On trying the shopkeepers the only
answer was: "Well, never heard that
the trans had given anybody neural
gia, but know they give me custom
ers-and every one / know is jolly glad
we've got them" This seems gloomy
for the epidemic prospects.
