after dusk. AS she drew near her
house, on lonely portion of the
road, she was seized. choked, chic
reformed, robbed and brutally NAL
treated She was found uncon-
scious. several hours later, and de-
scribed her assalant as a small,
thick-set man, with dark features,
with staringly brilliant eyes and
dressed as a workman.
The second outrage happened the
last week of June, when the lady
superior of an orphanage, 73 years
old, was found lying insensible in
the street right in front of her own
door She had ben dealt with in
a similar manner.
In July, two sisters of charity
were the fiend's victims. A young
school teacher came next, and a IA
year-old girl was carried off, one
night, under her mothers eyes. The
mothers screams frightened the
wretch and he released the terrified
child, after carrying her short dis
lance.
Up to the present time. no one
has seen any suspicious characters
in the neighbOrhood, and these
crimes can hardly have been done
by an escaped lunatic, as some
have supposed. and the police SEEM
ed to be entirely at loss to &C
count for the crimes, and yet find
no trace of the criminal.

A F|END WORSE THAN
LACK THE RIPPER D
A FRENcH<VILLAG HAS BEEN TERRoRlZED BY A MYSTERl
Gus MURDERER WHO ONLY ATTACKS WoMEN-ELEVEN
HAVE BEEN ASSAULTED IN FOUR MONTHS.

PARIS, Nov. 25.-The dark deeds
of Jack the Ripper" seem to have
been outdone in righteousness by
the fiendish hand of some mysteri-
Gus murderer in and around the
village of Bour-la-Reine. The re-
cent murder of an officers wife has
redoubled the alertness of the po-
lice officials of the district In their
effort to solve the mystery. The
fiend has frequented the neighbor-
hood for several months, and it has
become absolutely unsafe for wom-
en- to venture out unattended after
nightfall. Men are never molested,
and the victims, both old and
young, are handled alike.
The monster has made no less
than IL attacks upon defenseless
women since last July. He rushes
up to his victims, clutches them by
the throat. pushes a sop of chloro-
form under their nose and then
robs them and maltreats them.
They are invariably found with
their clothing almost entirely torn
from their bodies, and the crimes
are without exception committed
on Thursday nights, which also
adds mystery to the affair.

June 7, on the person of Nine. Lii

Sixty-two persons were present,
Including Is ladies and four clergy

Proceedings were commenced by
the reading of the Ninety-first
Psalm, followed by prayer and an
address by the chairman, directed
principally against the saloons and
Sunday traffic. The speaker also
read synopsis of the state laws
covering saloons, gambling joints
and houses of prostitution.
1t had not been the intention Of
the w. c. T. U. to hold a public
meeting and they were somewhat
disconnected to find newspaper re-
porters in the room and as a conse-
quence the meeting was without
definite issue.
Mr.. Mintzer, the presiding elder
of the M. Il. church, made a forci-
BILE speech. urging sympathlzers

play of fireworks but to push the
campaign with persistence. He
asked for the formation Of COM
mittee to consider ways and means
and decide on plan of campaign,
and offered to such committee the
services of well-known lawyer,
who will undertake to conduct the
legal side of the undertaking with
out remuneration, even to the SUI
preme court of the United States.
DR.. Lambert followed with an eff
fective speech, urging business men
to come forward and take up the
cudgels. you don't want preach
ers. you want business men,"
A discussion arose as to whether
the future sessions of the league
should be executive or not.
There were no specific reasons
urged against publicity. but after
some discussion a motion was put
and carried that the meeting ad-
journ, with the understanding that
those present and in sympathy with
the movement would sign roster
and from the names there regis
tered the president should select a
committee to take active steps in
the advancement of the campaign.
DOC" Brown of the Owl club and
others interviewed failed to see the
object of secrecy, pointing out that
whatever steps the Law Enforce
ment league may take must Of ne
cessity be taken in public.

CARNECIE'S BIRTHDAY.
PHILANTHROPlST PASSES THE
SIxTY-FivE MARX.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.--It is just
Go years today since a baby boy
destined to become world famous
as a philanthropist first saw the
light of day at the little town of
Dumferline, Scotland. The boy was
Andrew Carnegie. His parents
brought him to this country while
he was still a mere child and at 10
years of age he began his career in
the blue uniform of district mes
senger boy in Pittsburg. city
which has since benefited incalcul-
ably through his benefactions.
In most of his biographies the
date of Mr.. Carnegie's birth is
given as 1885, which would make
him 81 years old today, but Mr..
Carnegie himself is authority for
the assertion that he is hut IS. AS
a matter of fact the lord of Skibo
is as sensitive regarding his age
as he Is concerning the subject of
death. Those most intimately &C
quainted with him aver that the
mention of either subject in his
presence Is offensive to him. How
ever true this may be number
of his friends and business associ-
ates of this city made bold today
to cable their congratulations ON
the occasion of his birthday. Mr..
Carnegie is now in London recov-
ering from slight illness. With
in a fortnight he is expected to re-
turn here and take up his residence
for the winter In his magnificent
new home at the corner of Fifth

called the lord provost, sends the

this line. He shows that under mu-
nicipal socialism the water rate has
been reduced so per cent, and the
gas rate so per cent, while at the

1t Is also interesting to note that,
after taking over the street rail-

of the employees 25 per cent, and
increased their wages 25 per cent.
Glasgow also has its own telephone

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25-The
presence of numerous army officers
in full dress uniform gave a pretty
setting today to the wedding of
Miss Katherine Craig, daughter of
Lieutenant Colonel and Mrs. Robert
Craig, and Harold Williams. Jr., of
Boston. The ceremony was per-

George Mcclure Sargent of Boston

ceremony at the church there was
a large and brilliant reception at
the Craig residence.
Quite romance attaches to to-
days wedding. At the time of the

parlor entertaining Mr.. Williams
The fire had penetrated to the very
door of the drawing-room before the
young people discovered their dan

arms and fought his way through
the flames to small veranda,
where both were brought to the
pavement by tiremen. The engage

LONDON. Nov. 25.-Through the
columns Of the Times and other
papers there has recently been a
concerted attack upon what is
called municipal socialism. 1t Is
claimed to be unfair competition,
and to be largely responsible for
present commercial dullness in this
country. Influential English and
American company promoters are
fighting municipal socialism in
every possible way. Gas, electric
and street car stock is deprecated
in value because so many English
business into their own hands and
either bought out or frozen out the
companies.
The London Municipal Journal,
however, turns the attack with a
long article showing the benefits of
municipal ownership from the pub
lie point of view. In the town of
Darlington, 1t says. municipal gas,
water and markets have produced
a net profit of $3.50, 900, so that an
average reduction in taxes to every
citizen of 81 year has been eff
fected.
In birmingham the profits of the
gas and water undertakings during
five years was 5000 900. This was
applied to the relief of taxes. The
manufacturing town of Bolton
cleared Sl,000,000 from its markets,
gas, water and electric light and
power The city of Manchester
earned 5000, 900 during the same
period in the same way, though in
Manchester water profits are not
used to reduce the general taxes,
