Mamie Rowland, Colored, Was In
jurcd, Possibly Fatally.

Mamie Rowland, colored, was seri-
ously, may be, fatally injured at
Purse and Jones streets this morning,
having been beaten on the head and
back with baseball bat, in the hands
of an unknown negro man. The
woman, in an unconscious condition,
was taken to a house on Guerard
street. The police, after a fruitless
search for her assailant, returned to
the house, but found the woman had
been taken away, presumably by rela-
tives. Her whereabouts could not be
discovered this morning, consequently
the extent of her injuries has not been
ascertained.

The Smith brothers, Dargen, and two
other young men were going east on
Broughton street. They passed the
High Life restaurant and were going
to the B. & B. for something to eat.
The negro was going west and met the
white men in front of the Hub. They
were walking abreast and according
to young Smith the negro showed

men drew back to strike the negro who
stepped from the sidewalk and drew
a revolver.
Barney Smith shouted that he had

There were half a dozen officers with

minute or two before it became known

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Newspaper Truth

From the Buffalo Evening News.
It is a noteworthy fact that at the
recent meeting in Minneapolis Of the
National Educational Association, one
OF the prominent speakers, Archbishop
Ireland. not only deemed it proper TO
refer to the newspapers as an educa-
uonal medium. but took occasion TO
defend it against the unjust attacks OF
those who assail it as a malign in
fluence. Peculiarly significant, too, is
the fact that the title of the address
OF the distinguished prelate was not
education in a general sense, but
Devotion to Truth" He decried the
unfounded assertions OF those who de-
clare the newspaper TO be merely a
circulating medium for sensation with
out regard TO exactness, and said that
he regarded the province of the news
paper OF today TO be the narration OF
facts. It is evident that he believes
that the vast majority OF newspaper
endeavor TO confine themselves to thil
province.

It appears that the general public
considers the army a refuge for those
who cannot or will not make a living
in civil life. A talk with Sergeant
Gilbert, in charge OF the recruiting Of
fee at Fourth and Shipley streets,
would convince one to the contrary
Sergeant Gilbert says that during the
present month forty-three men have
applied for enlistment, only six Of
whom have been accepted. The age
limits is from 21 to 80 years for original
enlistments, but no limit is given for
those who have had previous service.
When "a young man presents himself
for enlistment. the first duty of the re-
cruiting officer is to satisfy himself
that the applicant is sound physically.
That, with the assistance Of the exam
lining physician, is an easy matter.
Next, he wishes to ascertain whether
the man is sound morally, or not. This
might seem to be difficult matter, but
by close questioning the officer gem
orally can tell whether or not a man
is what he represents himself to be.
No applicant is required to furnish

HenrY MilIerIs superstltIon

Actors are quite as superstitious 80
the majority of humanity, and there
are some now in Henry Miller's COM
pany, who believe they know the true
and convincing reason for the great
success of darcy of the Guards" q"
which appeared at the Opera House
here some time ago. The story
runs in this wise: Last June, while
Mr. Miller was playing his regular
summer engagement in San Francisco
and preparing for the first production
upon any stage of darcy of the
Guards" there was much perturbation
among all concerned as to it's probable
success. Mr.. Miller had been mostly
known ito the public in rather lugubrious
characters, and now be contemplated
appearing in a part purely comedy
and in a play which had no soul-stir-
ring scenes nor highly sounding, heroic
phrases. Would the public accept
him in such a play? To discount fail
ure as far as possible Mr.. Miller had
devoted a great deal OF attention at
rehearsals TO the meeting of officers in
the third act-the scene which has
been so we'll received here, quite es
much lor its clever business as for the
introduction OF the ever green old bal
lad of Sally in Our Alley" These
rehearsals were held so frequently
that they interfered with the comfort
OF the old black cat Of the theatre
pet with everybody and accustomed to
receive many dainties at their hands.
So occasionally she interrupted the
grave deliberations of the officers over
the plans OF battle with mild protesta-
tions against her neglect.
When the scene began on the night
OF the first performance, and the
bright redcoats were seated about the
round table smoking their church
warden pipes and slipping the punch
supplied from the huge bowl in the
centre OF the table. Mr.. Miller was al
most paralyzed with fear 10 find th'
