 Her Life.

Her Life.
 A domestic employed by Mrs. Whit comb of Woodmont was held up by an unknown man Saturday night at Wood mont about o'clock as she was waiting for a trolley car. The stranger demand ed the servants money or her life.
 As it turned out the would-be robber was lucky to get off with his own life, as she grappled with the man, throwing him to the ground. She then ran back to the Whitconb house. II her flight she ran against cltohesline in the dark, and the jolt threw her into mysteries.
 Colonel John w. Lowe teleDhoned to police headquarters that the highway man was in his way to this city. but the local police think he didn't come here as a close watch was unsuccessful- ly kept for him. He is described as a short thick-set, smooth-faced man, wearing a dark suit and in disregard of the fact that they have been called in. a straw hat.

A--><~~A
 This Evening
 Among other things s:s= s= brought before the board of aldermen at the regular meeting this evening will be the first step in movement to have all the wires in the city placed underground. It is said that those be- hind the plan are determined to. have the board of aldermen take some action which will remedy the conditions caus- ed by the network of overhead wires.
 The following resolution will be i'm troduced at to-night's meeting: To the Honorable Board of AIdermen:
 Whereas, There are in our city number of corporations which. in the conduct of their business, make use of wires strung from poles and running overhead along the streets in this city; and
 Whereas. The number of these wires, in accord with the growth of the busi- nesses of said corporations, is constant ly increasing and being added to, until at present they have becpme unsightly to gaze upon. dangerous to the travel- ing public and a hindrance to the proper performance of the various de- partments of the city;
 Therefore, Be it resolved, That tfa committee on ordinances hold public hearings to receive the expressions and sentiments of the people and parties interested with regard to placing said wires underground, in conduits, and tc draft suitable ordinances regulating the manner and time for doing thu same, if, after said public hearings, thu committee deem it for the best inter- ests of the city so to do, and to repori the same to this board. The resolution is most sweeping iI its terms and includes all overhead wires, trolley, fire alarm, telegraph and telephone.

BROTHERHOOD ST. ANDREW
HOLDS ANNUAL CONVENTION AT
 DENVER, OCT. s-11TH.
H. F. BIogg and Frank westervsIt to Represent New Haven Chaptsrs-DeIe- gates From All Over the Country to \.
be Present.

The annual convention of the Broth erhood of St. Andrew to be held at Den yer, Col, October to Il, promises to surpass even the most sanguine expec- tations of the Brotherhood. Delegates from the east will be present amongst others men from New Bedford, Boston, Providence, New Haven. New York, Philadelphia, Pitts. etc. The organiza- tion has made rapid strides during 1903, over 200 new chapters have been added, forty-four of which are in New England and eight in Connecticut. Another forward movement fund of s10.000 to be pledged at the coming convention is practically assured. The following is the Archbishop of York's opinion of the Brotherhood fo St. Andrew: s.
 Tt is no mere society for the holding of meetings and the collection of offer- ings; but it is simply a Christian union or fellowship. the vital principle of which is the recognition of the duty of every Christian to do something to promote the spiritual interests of his fellow men, And she obligation takes this simple form: to select from time to time some individual friend or ac- quaintance, making him the subject of microscopy prayer: and to endeavor unobtrusively to find opportunity from time to time Of speaking to him as 8 brother about the spiritual life. It is by such private efforts as these even more than by public addresses, that we are often able to promote the spiritual welfare of our brethren to the glory of God.'' sas
 An unusually low rate of SAP to Dem yer, Colorado Springs, and return, via Nickel Plate route, and special Brotherhood train from Chicago is as sured. Good from October 3 to October 31. H. F. Blogg. ssa Chapel street. has charge of the matter fo this section.

 Those who have seen this pantomimic production in the past will scarcely rec ognize it-so many and so novel are the new features which have been injected in it. Notably among these are bright, catchy songs, wonderful calcium effects, and gymnastic potpourri that has never been excelled. The music of the play is tuneful and of the light, popular variety, while the mechanical effects follow each other so fast that it is be- wildering. The Byrne Brothers are won |derfully agile and clever pantomimists. John F. Byrne is the inventor of the
 
 vellous, and he is also the author of the lines. All of the brothers are agile ac- robats that would do credit to any cir GUS. It is not hard to conceive that such people associated together could keep things lively and that is just what they do.
