WOMAN CURES PEEPING TOM.
Girl Severely Frightens Man Who
Tried to Watch Her.

Superior, Wis, Aug. 15.-Miss Marie
jacobson of the east end, popular and
pretty young lady, proved more than a
match for prominent young man who
was caught peeking in at the window
of her apartments as she was retiring
last night. The young lady was In the
act of laying off her wraps when she
caught sight of the eye at the window.
She ran to the door and the man bolted
into a hiding place. A passerby was
summoned; he dragged the prowler
from the hiding place and held him
while the enraged young woman got
revolver and took couple of shots
in the direction of the offender. He
was not hit, but was badly scared and
Miss Jacobson says that she believes
he has effected more permanent cure
than an arrest could do.

EARLY SPECIAL SESSION.
Senator Spooner and Others Think II
Highly Desirable.

Oyster Bay. Aug 14.-At a confer
ence between senators and the presi-
dent, serious consideration was given
the legislation proposed in approval of
the Cuban reciprocity treaty ratified
by the senate last spring
Three of the senators present are
members of the senate committee on
relations with Cuba-Platt, chairman;
Aldrich and Spooner. All, particularly
Plat, regard the necessity for the en-
actmont of the Cuban treaty legsla-
ton very urgent. The President en-
tertains the same views.
1t is understood that the suggestion
Of an extraordinary session of con-
gress at a date earlier than November
8 was made by these senators because
of the urgency of Cuban legislation.
On many accounts that is regarded as
desirable, and it would be a great con-
venience not only to the president but
also to the members OF both the SEN
ate and house.

one of the most threatening evils for
our republic.
The origin of the mob spirit is not
always founded in evil. 1t often en-
lists men, who are pleased to call
themselves the respectable element OF
society, and are in the main well
meaning. It's Indictment is generally
some real or imaginary wrong or some
aggravated crime. In the moment of
unguarded passion such men forget
their duty to themselves and society
and lend countenance and aid to the
lawlessness, thoughtless alike of its
consequences to themselves and soci-
ETY. in thus taking the law into their
own hands. There is however a per-
centage of every community whose
criminal lives tend to lawlessness
This element is constantly on the alert
and scents coming violence, as a
sleuthhound scents blood When mob
law prevails, this element becomes the
follower of the most degraded, whose
society under ordinary circumstances
would be Stunned with as much care
