NEGROES BRUTALITY ASSAULT
WOMAN NEAR MARCUS HOOK
Mrs. Archie KHOttS Knocked Down and Stripped Of Her
VaIuabIeS Her ASSaiIantS Thought 10
Be From Delaware

the negroes appear in either place, they
might be arrested.
Mrs. Knott thought the negroes had
ridden towards Chester. but was unable
to give a very good description of them.
The Chester police kept sharp look
out, but up to the time of going TO
press had not seen the men. They had
robbed Mrs. Knott of her watch and
chain and rings, stripping the latter
from her fingers in the most brutal
manner.
Last night It was learned that Mrs.
Knott was suffering from shock. She was
able then to tell a more connected
story of the assault, and said that she
had been calling upon friends in Rid
ley township and was on her way home.
Just as she was passing Iikens on the
pike near her home, the negroes ap-
preached her. One asked her for
money and terribly frightened as she
was. Mrs. Knott gave him an evasive
reply. Then she was struck "a cruel
blow.
Mrs. Knott was formerly Miss Hen
derson, of Ridley township, and has
been married not quite two months
The story of the assault has aroused
the neighbOrhoOd. and until late last
night. patrols were searching for the
negro bicyclists, who are thought ia
have come from Delaware.

FIRE DEPARTMENT POLITICS.

T HE UNDERSTANDABLE PURPOSE
1 Of the Republican city administra-
tioa to turn the police and fire depart
ments into political machines at the
earliest possible moment, was never
more clearly demonstrated than in
Mayor Thompson's refusal 10 concur
IN the appointment Of Charles z. Wood
as assistant fire chief. No question is
raised as 20 Mr.. Woods fitness. Chief
Dev.ne, his immediate superior. is in a
position 10 know him and his work
thoroughly. and It was the chief who
made the appointment. The only rea-
son offered by Mayor Thompson for re-
fusing to concur is the fact that Wood
is not a partisan Republican
Neither is he a partisan Democrat.

ROBBERS AND ROBBERS.

# HREE OF THE MEN who con-
spired TO divert the Cuban postal
funds from the government treas
airy into their own private exchequers
have met the fate which justice should
deal out TO all malefactors. So many
rascaIs in official life escape unscathed
these days that. while The Herald
bears the Cuban criminals no more i'll
VIII than it does any other law break
ers, it notes with pleasure their fines
and sentences. Neeley gets ten years
in prison, coupled with a fine Of $50,
701. His associates, Reeves and Rath-
bone, viii also sojourn behind steel
bars for ten years, besides paying fines
Of SS5.516 and SS5,S24, respectively.
When thieves are as coarse about
their work as these fellows, your Uncle
Samuel Is pretty nearly sure to reach
them. They may try TO hide in the
uttermOst parts Of the earth, but. soon
er or late, a government detective slips
handouts over their wrists and hales
them before a high court There are
so many better ways OF looting the
treasury than by the simple process
Of putting ones hand in and helping
ones self that the last mentioned
method is decidedly out Of date. The
danger of crude pilfering has just been
noted.
Now. if Medley. Reeves and Rathbone
had been smart men they would have
attained their object in a far more sat
isfactory way. judging by results, and
they would also have continued TO be
respected members of society. They
should have formed a syndicate
for the purchase of government bonds
at a ridiculously low figure for the pur-
pose of selling them over again to
higher bidders. They might have got

think all these things over and wonder
why they made such ridiculous asses
Of themselves. If it was all to be done
over again they would undoubtedly
work differently.
After all, the country has little to
fear from postofice thieves. It is the
man who reeklessly votes to corpora
tons and trusts great amounts OF pub
lie money; it is the favored contractor
who furnishes our armies with rotten
beef and shoddy clothing for high
prices who is most dangerous, for he
is very rarely caught.

No play could be more humanely in
teresting than The Professors Love
Story" which was presented by Mr. z.
5. Willard at the Theatre last evening.
And no play could be more charmingly
presented The perfection of art was
about it all. Il didn't seem mere act
ing; il was rather that some unknowa-
bic power had quickened Barrie's char
acters into life and they nved the
sweet, wholesome story in the presence
Of the audience. The greatest charm
Of the play is its naturalness. Real
men and real women are on the stage
and the emotions they display, their
loves, their hopes and fears are all real
and present.
The plot is a simple One-the story OF
a gray-headed professors love for his
secretary. There are complications, of
course, or there could be no story and
no play. But the complications are
natural and they are overcome by nat
ural means. Nothing in the success OF
the play or its presentation is owing
TO artificial means. The delight Of the
audience was due entirely TO the
charming love story that was lived for
their pleasure.
