FRIDAY EVENING. JULY %, 1904

ONE SELDOM glances at paper now
without reading of the inhuman conduct
unon the part of some brutes against I'M
orotected females. This crime seems
upon the increase and is now face to face
with some northern people who years
ago, not approaching the enormity OF
the crime, sought to pooh-pooh it. The
rapid railroading to trial and the SEN
fencing for life of the three black bruteS
in Burlington county, New Jersey, last
week to prevent a triple lynching, and
unon which occasion the presiding judge
EXPRESSED regret that the law did not
hermit their hanging, has an aftermath
The reports from the scene OF this out

as much detested and abhored by Presl'

ner in which the President has discussed
and handled the negro problem, especially
his "not closing the door of hop" efiu
sion has made many negroes foolish
and may yet add to the bad tendencies o
the more depraved. The thousands 0

auy trouble that might arise over mem
beers voting who have no right to do so;
The changes made in the ritual were all
of minor importance, it is said. They
only simplify matters.

Incendiorism and burglary.

Kearsarge Village, n. H., July u
The summer visitors and the VILLAGERS
we're thrown into a panic last night,
when a two story building, opposite the
Russell cottage, was destroyed by an
incendiary fire. While the fire was
raging and people we're fleeing from the
hotel, three burglars entered the house
from the rear and made their way to
the rooms of the guests, which they
rummaged, securing several hundred
dollars in cash and several hundred
dollars worth of jewelry. They were
detected in the act by guests and tight
ensued. The robbers fought them OFT,
however, and escaped. The burglars
had fred the building opposite the
Russell House cottage as means OF
gaining access to the hotel while the
guests we're watching the fire.

to his death with the secret of his crime
unreyealed, and refusing to accept the
comforts of religion. He came from the
death cell to the chair chewing gum.
The electrocution was as successful as
any in the history of the prison. On
the night of November 22nd, 1902,
Stimmel and a companion, both masked,
entered the grain store of Allen and
Aminger, in Dayton, and shot and
killed Joseph Shide, the book keeper.
Both assailants escaped. Stimmel was
caught in the following August, but the
accomplice has never been apprehended.
