A Negro Who Is Alleged to Have As
saulted Many Women.
Joseph Jones, colored twenty years old.
who lives near 18th and B streets south
east, was arrested last night by Detectives
Father, Browne and Watson and locked up
at the fifth precinct station on charges of
assault. For several weeks a colored man
answering his description has been annoy
ing ladies in East Washington, particular
ly along the line of East Capitol street. In
almost every case reported to the police the
assailant put his hand his victim and
made use of an insulting remark When
arrested the detectives found in his pocket
some filthy literature, some Of which con-
tanned the language alleged to have been
used when the assaults were committed.
Jones has been positively identified by
Miss Maggie Wilkinson of 81 18th street
southeast and Miss Stotsenburg of 1000
South Carolina avenue as having assaulted
them. 1t is believed by the detectives that
Jones is another Max, Krebs, who cut so
many dresses in this city about year ago.
Eleven ladies, who have been assaulted or
insulted by man answering Jones' de-
scription during recent months, will call at
the police station tonight and see If the
prisoner is the man who assaulted them.

which was adopted, directing that the sew
eral communications received by the board
of education and such as have thus far ap-
peared in the public press upon the subject
of the hymnal in the schools Of the District
be referred to the committee on Normal
and High Schools, with instructions to
give due consideration to the same and re-
port upon the questions involved at an
early day.
Reorganization of Committees.
Committees were reorganized as follows:
Committee on ways and means-Boynton
Harries and Bunday.
Committee on buildings, repair and sani-

Gordon and Francis.
On the recommendation of the committee
on Industrial education it was decided that
candidates passing examinations in all lines
of industrial and special work, including
kindergartens. be considered eligible for
appointment for one year from the date Of
examination. =
Miss Nettie Burt was promoted from the
first to the second grade, fourth division
without change Of pay, and the names Of
Burns and Irah Richards were appoin, ed
substitute kindergar EN- teachers. Miss Bes-
sic M. Ridgeway was placed on the eligible
kindergarten list.
It is understood that General Boynton
the new president of the board has sug-
the present system Of secret meetings Of
the board. He takes the ground that the

from permitting the attendance of represen-
tatives of the press, as was the custom
under the former regime.
1t is expected that the question will be

MONTERREY, Mexico. Nov. 9.-La-
borcrs employed in the Nclad6ra mine,
situated near Here, have opened up Il
large cavern 10y means of Il tunnel. In
it We're found the skeletons of fifteen
men, surrounded by ancient mining
tools. Piled up in the cavern were
more than two carloads of horn silver
and galena, with wire silver, all of
great richness. The old Spanish rec
ords show that this mine was worked
more than 200 years ago, and the skcl-
etons are of miners who are supposed
to have been sullocated by cavein.

Miss Jane Toppan, who is suspected OF
of nearly dozen murders and who was
arrested in Boston for the murder of a
woman named Mary Gibbs, was the
nurse who cared for Mrs. Edna Banister,
widow of Almon Banister of East Ran
dolph, who died at the home of her
brother, o. A. Brigham, in Lowell, Mass,
August. 25. There are suspicious cir
cumstances which lead many to desire
an investigation. Mrs. Banister was
buried in the cemetery at East Randolph.
The body may be exhumed later. Miss
Toppan was foster sister of the deceased
wife of Mr.. Brigham, and it is said made
DO secret of her desire to become Brig
hams wife. In the event of Mrs.
Banlster's death, only one brother, Mr..
Brigham of st. Johnsbury, it is said,
stood in the way of Miss TOppaI's In.
hertng Brigham's property.

Child ScaIded to Death.

Bertha, the three-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Still of Burlington,
met with mos t horrible death Saturday.
About 0: 80 o'clock in the morning she
was playing about the kitchen while her
mother was hopping the floors. She
walked backwards and striking the pail
of hot water fell into it. The pail was
overturned and the hot water scalded the
little one fearfully. Medical aid was
called and everything was done for the
unfortunate child, but after few hour 5
of intense suffering ne died shortly after
10 o'clock. This blow is particularly
sad one to the family as they were called
upon to part with another one of their
children scarcely a week before.

HOYT'S JOKE ON M'KEE.
How the Playwright Had hit of
Fun with His Manager.

On one occasion Manager Mckee
was watching n performance from
box where he was seated with some
friends.
During the first act an usher came
to him with the information that n
gentleman was waiting at the door to
see him on most important business.
TEL him l can't come out-Fm very
busy" was the answer.
The usher returned in n moment to
say that the man insisted on seeing
Mr.. Mckee, who again sent out word
that it was impossible to see him.
The man outside then sent in the
message that he was an author and
had a play that he wished Mckee to
read Immediately.
This incensed the manager, who said
to the usher:
"Tell that fool out there that this is
no time to bring a play to be read.
Get him out of the place. won't see
him. won't read his play"
A few minutes later the usher came
back and informed Mckee that the
man utterly refused to go without see
ing him, and that he must be granted
an interview, also that he was quite
sure that the manager would not only
read his play, but he would also pro-
duce it, and added that he would bet
81 900 that Hoyt & Mckee would be
only too glad to get the play.
At that Mckee became furiously
angry, and, excusing himself to his
party, left the box with the intention
of personally inviting the persistent
author to begone.
"Wheres that idiot who insists on
seeing me?" he asked of the treasurer
at the box office. Then the treasurer
pointed to man standing in the shad-
ow with n roll of manuscript under
his arm.
1t was Hoyt, with his newly finished
play, which he handed to Mckee, who
said to those present:
It's on me-what'll you have, boysF

In This Case the Work was
Properly Done.

Any reader who has had backache and
found relief by rubbing the back with
