Frequent
Ths'0hhiklg
Headache.

There's many a cause for headache.
Men are not often troubled by headaches
When they are it is generally due to bill
iousness or indigestion. But women
have headaches which seem peculiar to
their sex, frequent nervous throbhing
headaches. Does it not seem az II sncn
headaches peculiar to women must be at
once related to womanly disease! Won-
en- who suffer with diseases peculiar 10
the sex do not realize the drain OF vital
strength and nerve force they undergo
as a Consequence of disease. II IS this
which causes the familiar headaches OF
sick women.

A FEARFUL FALL.

Mrs. A E. Johns, of New York city,
who has been staying in the Yosemite
valley for few days, was found yester-
day morning in a steep crevasse back Of
Sentinel Dome. On Monday Mrs.
Johns started from Glacier Point Hotel
to walk 10 Fissurcs, located some two
miles from the hotel, and did not
return that night Early yesterday
morning searching parties started out
and one of them made a discovery that
filed the spectators with horror. Far
down the Sentinel Fissure, whose Gre
vases drop in some places for thou
sands of feet, suspended on ledge that
iutted out from the steep side, the al
most lifeless form of Mrs. Johns was
found by Mr.. Potter, hotel clerk.
She was too weak to speak, but was
able, by feeble signs, to make Mr..
Potter know that she still lived. After
trying in vain to work his way down
the mountain side TO her, Mr.. Potter
was forced to go to the hotel for help.
Provided with plenty of ropeo, and
carrying stretcher, party oil eight
made its way back to the crevasse,
where the work was begun of trying to
extricate Mrs. Johns from her danger
Gus situation.
The relief party found Mrs. Johns's
position to be critical in the extreme.
Her escape from frightful death had
been remarkable. She had fallen dis
tance of 5000 feet from the crevasse walls
and had partially broken her fall by
catching atjuniper bushes and scrub trees
as she plunged through their branches.
When the rope had been lowered Mr..
Potter descended to examine the ground
and determine the best way to get Mrs.
Johns from her perilOus position. There,
lodged upon two-foot ledge, with her
clothing torn to fragments and her flesh
scratched and bruised lay Mrs. Johns,
weak from exhaustion and lack of food
and benumbed by the frosty night.
With difficulty the rope was securely
tied around Mrs. Johns's waist and an
effort made to help her to the rim above.
This attempt proved futile because of
Mrs. Johns's weight. BY leaning over
the abrupt precipice Mr.. Potter could
discern another and larger ledge hun
dred feet below, from which was sheer
drop of hundreds OBJECT. He determined
to try this plan of rescue.
Giving the orders to those above to
lower the rope, Mr.. Potter swung the
inanimate form of Mrs. Johns out from
the tiny strip of rock upon which she
had braced herself for Is hours, and, by
swinging the rope to and fro, Mr.. Potter
was able to lodge the body of Mrs.
Johns on the larger ledge. He then de-
scended himself. Calling to one of the
mountain guides above, Mr.. Potter had
him drop the rope 10 the ledge upon
which all three were now resting. Then
the two picked up Mrs. Johns, and to-
gether they made their difficult way
around dangerous ledges and over yawn-
ing precipices beneath, until, almost
worn out, they finally reached the rim
above once more Mrs. Johns is suf
fering much from nervous shock, but as
no bones were fractured she will recover.

ASSAULTED BY NEGROES.

Thomas Drum, otherwise Thomas
Thomas, a negro ex-convict, yesterday
morning broke into the residence of
Mayor o. E. Davis, at Red Bank, n. j.,
and not only secured what plunder he
could, but also attempted to assault
Miss Grace Davis, the mayors daugh-
ter. Drum, on making his way to the
room where Miss Davis was sleeping,
aroused her by stumbling. She scream
ed aud fought the negro, who attracted
her. In the struggle he struck her in
the face several times with his fist The
girls screams attracted the attention of
the family and the neighbors. Search
being made Drum was found by Chief
of Police Wilson hiding in the barn.
In his possession a quantity of jewelry
belonging to Miss Davis was found.
Another negro named Daniel Webster
was discovered in the balm with Drum,
and both were hurried off to the country
jail at Freehold. Miss Davis's face was
cut and bruised, and she is also suffer
ing from shock as the result of her terri
bic experience. Drum. after gath
ering up the jewelry and a
pocketboOk which was lying on Miss
Davis's dressing C se, walked over to Il c
bed and attempted to remove a GOLD
chain from her neck. Then followed
the desperate struggle with her assailant
He told her If she did not stop scream
ing he would kill her. Mayor Davis
heard his daughters screams, and was
the first to go to her assistance. Thomas
heard him coming through the hall and
he made his escape by jumping from a
secsnd-story window. Public feeling in
the town ran high against Drum aud
Webster and especially against the for
mer, and talk Of lynching was freely
heard.
The quick wit OF deputy sheriff al
Coxsackle, N. Y, yesterday afternoon
prevented the lynching of james Little,
a l9-year-old negro of Summerhurst n.
j., who early yesterday morning, neal
New Baltimore, village in Greene coun-
ty, New York, feloniously assaulted
Emma Cole, IL years old, daughter Of
Joseph Cole, a farmer living one mile
from New Baltimore. The deputy quiet
ly took the negro down the river to Cats
kill and placed him in Jail. The child is
seriously injured, but may recover. Her
father and the neighbor;ng farmers are
in terrible state of excitement, and but
for the deputy's quick action would GER
tainly have lynched the negro.

BETTER PART OF VALOR
Arrested Automobiles Forfeits Collat-

Unlike the majority of Automobiles
in Washington who are defiant to the
core, and stoutly protest to policemen
and Police Court judges when they are
arrested, Harry G. Wagner, George
town jeweler, and an automobilist as
we'll. forfeited $40 in the Police Court
yesterday for operating his machine on
Brightwood Avenue at a greater rate OF
speed than the law allows,
Policeman Nebb saw the jeweler
speeding along the thoroughfare at q
clip of about twenty-eight miles an hour
Tuesday night and arrested him. Prof
iting by the experiences of other
"speeders'' who have braved the dan
gers of the Police Court. and evidently
anticipating a heavier assessment than
$40, Mr.. Wagner remained away from
the dingy old building at Sixth and D
Streets, and forfeited the amount he
was required to pay before he was re-
leased from custody Tuesday night.

OWNERS TITLE INTACT
THOUGH ANIMAL DEAD
Court of Appeals Decision in Case of
Patrick Mann.


The Court of Appeals for the District
has decided that the death of an animal
does not annul. nor take away from the
owner, his property right in IT. The
question came up for consideration in
the case of the District against Patrick
Mann, who was charged in the Police
Court with violating the police regula-
lions relating to the removal of dead
animals through the streets. Mr. Mann
carcass of the animal hauled through
the streets of the District and across
the Long Bridge. The Police Court held
that Mr.. Mann had no right TO cart the
dead horse through the streets because
the contract for the removal of garabge
was let to a certain firm.
In the opinion written by Justice Nor
ris. the Appellate Court held that the
death of an animal does not terminate
the owners property right in It, and
while he may be required to dispose of
1T. the authorities cannot deprive him
of it by giving 1t to another, and that
the owner may say what disposition
shall be made of 1t outside of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Accordingly 1t was
held that the man was acting lawfully
in carrying the horse outside the city,
and it was directed that he be dis
charged without costs.
