SCARED BY WOMAN
Residents Afraid to Venture
Out at Night.

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 18.--Man-
chester, about nine miles east of this
city, has a mystery. 1t is what the
people call "the woman in black" The
mysterious woman first made her ap-
pearance about three weeks ago. So
much is she feared that lights in dwell
ing houses are now put out shortly
after supper, and the members of the
family who are not inclined to sit in
darkness make an early retreat to bed.
The woman in black was first seen in
a poorly lighted street in the village
and she was then seen in other unfre-
quented streets. Her tall figure and
black dress made her a thing for
women and children to fear and re-
member, while the veil that covered
her face completely hid her identity.
1t has been her custom TO follow the
women and children whom she en-
counters, but to flee at the approach Of
e. man. No man has yet been able to
get up to her. At first the men were
not inclined to believe the reports that
their wives and sisters and daughters
brought home. They attributed them
to the natural timidity of women at
night, but the evidence has accumu-
lated to such an extent that no one
now doubts the existence of the mys-
terious woman.
So much do the women fear the
stranger that few of them now venture
to the church services, none of them
without escort, and the night trade Of
the village stores has dropped to prac-
tically nothing. Merchants sit on the
counters and twirl their thumbs, de-
claring that 1T would be more profitable
to close at dark, as there is not enough
business at night to pay for the lights.
Up to the present time no attempt
has been made by the mysterious Wis
itor to molest any woman, but there is
general anxiety as to what her inten-
tons are and what she may do next.
One of the current theories in the VIII
lage is that the masquerader is a man,
who is either bent on mischief or Is
mentally unbalanced. Others say the
walk and general appearance are
feminine.

said that the danger of conflict, which
was real few days back, seemed to
have been averted, and that if ever a
conflict came it would not be provoked
by Russia. He added;
Our rights in Manchuria are unde-
niable. We made the country, which
until quite recently was a mere haunt
for bandits We now have a vigilant
police there, and, moreover, we have
built the railroad. This does not mean
that we intend to annex Manchuria, but
having incurred enormous expendi-
lures, and possessing immense interests
there, we insist that these be safe
guarded, and we expect to realize our
legitimate benefits. The powers un-
derstand this SO well that none, except
possibly Japan, seriously contemplated
insisting that the evacuation he eff
fected Oct. 8. Russia cannot evacuate
Manchuria before obtaining the guar
antee to which she has a right from
China and all Europe, including even
Great Britain, recognizing that their
interests are united with those of Rus
sia.''
LONDON, Oct. 1S.-Cabling from
Tien-Tsin, the correspondent of the

Shan Si province reports that Gen.
Tung Flu Slang is attacking the Rus
slams in Mongolia. The correspondent
explains that this possibly refers to

DR.. Greth. of San Francisco.
Has an Airship That Sails
Satisfactorily.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 18.-Dr.
August Greth, who for year past has
been unostentatiously working on an
airship, today surprised the residents
of San francisco by sailing over their
heads for two hours, directing his ma
chine almost at will and demonstrating
that in many essentials he has solved
the problem of aerial navigation. Dr.
GTeth had previously tested his air.
ship Ly making ascensions with the
balloon held captive by long rope,
but tcday was the first time that he
had gone skyward free.
The ascension was made from a lot
almost in the heart of the city, and
DR.. Greth attempted to encircle a tow
ering newspaper building about mile
eastward, but found the high currents
too strong for his power and then
turned in an opposite direction. The
winds carried him oceanward and for
a time he lowered over the vicinity of
the Golden Gate, making various sue
cessful trials of his steering gear. The
currents threatened to take him out
over the Pacific and he decided to make
landing on the parade grounds of the
Presidio military reservation. but made
the mistake of letting out too much gas
and landed in the bay about 200 feet
from shore. The crew of the life-sav-
ing station rescued the aeronaut and
his flying machine, which was little
damaged.
The balloon of Greth is cigar-shaped
and has capacity of $4,000 feet Of gas,
with lifting capacity of 1900 to 1000
pounds. The car is similar in con-
struction to that used by Santos-Du-
mont, and weighs about 500 pounds.
The engine is a 12-horse power gaso-
line motor, and the total weight car
ried skyward, including that of the
inventor and 260 pounds of ballast, was
about 1,400 pounds. For some mex
plicable reason the motor would not
develop more than 6-horse power,
and Dr. Greth found considerable diff
f1culty in making headway against the
current.
He expects to make another ascen-
sion in few days, when he will have
repaired the minor damage caused by
the salt water bath and remedied the
minor defects brought out by his two
hours cruise in cloudland.

Dowie YelIs Salvation at Big
Crowds and Scores Those
Who Walk Out.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Five thou
sand persons were turned away from
Madison Square Garden this after
noon after all the seats in the build
ing had been filed with a great crowd
curious to see John Alexander Dowie,
on his first appearance before New
York audience. Fully $4,000 persons
were in the garden when the services
began with the professional in which
the Zion white-robed choir, TO the
number of about 500, and the capped
and gowned ordained officers Of the
Christian Catholic church in Zion took
part.
The procession ascended to the plat
form, where the choir took positions
behind the pulpit and the officers occu-
pied the places at the sides. When
those on the platform had taken their
places, DR.. Dowie ascended the plat
form, accompanied by Overseers Bry-
ant, Excel, Dowie, Speigner, Mason
and Piper, who took their places be-
hind the pulpit. DR.. Dowie wore the
usual white robe with a black robe
above it.
The service of prayer opened with
the invocation by DR.. Dowie, followed
by the singing Of a hymn. This was
followed by the recital of the creed
and commandments and the reading
of scripture, during which hundreds of
persons started to leave the hall, caus-
ing much confusion. The exodus con-
tinued in spite of repeated orders to
close the doors, until nearly a third of
the audience had departed, many of
the vacant seats being filed with the
waiting crowd outside After order
had been somewhat restored, DR.. Dow

If we have obtained a part it seems

ing if Canada should refuse to accent

they would be in favor of making a

made his guilt almost certain When
Edward Lett awoke from a doze in his
dining room late last night and found
Andrew Schairer, aged 81, standing be-
side him, Schairer said he had mistaken
the house for his brother in-laW's, a
few doors away.
Lett saw his pocketbook lying empty
on the table and beside it penciled
note which read: I'm sorry, but I
need it, 1t must have been the ma
rauder's anxiety to have joke at Let's
expense which resulted in awakening
the sleeping man. He had rif1ed tha
children's bank in the closet and also
emptied Mrs. Let's purse. Burnt
matches strewed the floor.
Policeman Christy arrested the man.
Schairer said his brother-in-law had
left his back door open for him, but
his brother-in-law later said he would
not allow him in his house.
Schairer denied his guilt. In his cell
today he procured all the morning pa
pers and anxiously scanned them to see
what they had to say about the thief
who joked at the expense of his vic
tins. Recorder StackhouSe held him
for trial without bail.
The Camden police have no doubt
that Schairer is the man who robbed
the house on Maple street a few days
ago and penciled on the icing OF
sponge cake: Excuse me; this is too
sweet"

islands to Canada is of no great i'm
portance. The Globe continues:
NO doubt one of the British COM
mlssloners shrank from the dangerous
deadlock that would have ensued had
potn SIDES refused to give way in re-
gard to the ownership of the head of
the Lynn canal. The fact that Cana
dian goods are bonded across the coast
slrlp makes the Lynn canal question
less important than it otherwise would
be. Canada will nevertheless be deem
ly disappointed with the decision in
regard to the ownership of the arms
OF the sea in the disputed territory.
The hnding is compromise in which
neither side gets all it set out to Sc
cure. The decision is final, however,
ana there Will be no barking back.
EVERY foot of boundary line is now set
tied forever, with no possibility of fur
ther strife"
After asserting that the terms of the
arbitration were most unfair and that
the United States showed slight con-
hdence in the judicial soundness of its
claims by refusing to accept a neu-
tral arbitrator, the World (opposition)
will say:
imperial statesmen, or rather Eng
nsh statesmen, for they do not appear
to have grasped the meaning of irnper-
ialism, regard the friendship of the
United States beyond price provided
this country has to pay for it. These
easy trfumphs for American diplomacy
in the settlement of boundary disputes
are full of dangerous possibilities.

One Towns Tribute to the Standard Oil
Trust.
S~tatesville folks are experiencing
the beauties of the Standard OH
trust these days. Some time ago
the Standard raised the price OF oil
two cents a gallon. This necesslta-
ted an increase in the retail price by
the merchants, and a gallon OF kero-
sene now costs eighteen cents instead
of fifteen cents as heretofore.
It is estimated that about 1,50O
rallons of kerosene are sold by the
Statesville merchants weekly; and
the increase in price means that the
consumers of oil in Statesville pay
$50 a week, about $1,000 a year more
revenue to the Standard Oil trust.

will be a long time before North Car
