Better Police Protection.

Better FOflce froteclon.
 The residents of the Eighth ward, especially those residing in the vicinity of Humphrey street and Whitney ave- nue are very much incensed over the brutal assault made at s:S0 Thursday evening on one of the daughters of a prominent professor of Yale university, who lives in the neighborhood. Their indignation has reached such a high pitch that 1t is their intention to com bine with the residents of Prospect street in an effort to find the villain or valiains and thus put ali end to this menace to the welfare and safety of women of the neighborhood. especially those who chance to be on the street after dark.
 This brutal attack, following so close on that upon Miss Peterson, which oc- cured recently on Prospect street, has caused the good people to resolve themselves into vigilance society, if the assistance of the police is not time ly, and proper steps are to be taken immediately to track down the guilty
 With respect to the attack on the young lady Thursday night, Professor Kent and Charle s. DeForest last night made the following statement:
 "A brutal attack was made on Thursday evening upon the daughter Of a prominent Yale professor. As the young lady was walking through Hum phrey street, between Whitney avenue and Orange street, after mailing let ter at half-past eight o'clock. man crept stealthily up behind her, sudden ly covering her eyes with his hands, and then struck succession of blind ing blows across her face and eyes, finally throwing her down backward, still continuing blows in the face. Her screams for assistance soon reused the neighborhood and the assailant disap- peared. She was assisted into a near by house, when physician was quick ly summoned to care for her bruises, which were very severe

graph Instruments Confiscated.
 New York; May 2O.-Simultaneous raids on twenty-two alleged poolrooms and poolroom exchanges were made here to-day by the police. Axes. ham liners and crowbars were used at many
 of the places to batter down iron and
 steel doors and to gain entrance through barred windows. Seventy pris- oners were taken and many telephones and telegraph instruments were confis- Icated, besides a number of books and racing charts.
 One of the places raided was in the
 Edison building. on Broad street, in small vine-covered house, on the roof lof which thirty-four telephones and
 thirteen men were found. The police
 claim that this is the chief headquar tiers of the poolroom syndicate in the distribution of each day's racing infor-
 nation, and the raid was regarded as
 the most important of the day. as the
 entire Wall street poolroom business
 will be seriously affected, if not ruined, by it.
 Another raid was in the Syndicate building on Park Row, where twenty
 prisoners, thirty-three telephones and three telegraph instruments were taken.
 Police Commissioner McAdoo said af-t ter the raids T will not discuss or di- vulge the details of my operations or lm my intentions in the future against the
 poolroons, except to say that am do- ling everything in my power to break up the system in New York. No mat ter what the poolroom men may say, the public can rest assured that the
 blow delivered at the system to-day is a very serious one

MARRIED THE "HIRED
GIRL"

Not long ago DR.. Louis Haltendorf.
a young physician of Cincinnati.
eloped with Pearl Simpson, "a do
nestle employed at his fathers
house. The couple went to Michi-
gan, where they were married.
1t is said the young doctor went to
Michigan to marry the giil because
he had Il simpering sister with arts

choice precluded a "hired girl" as
sIster-in-law.

marriage.
Perhaps not. Her case is chronic.

was violently in love with her and as
he is said to he a young fellow of dis

for granted that the girl is worthy

THE DULL SCHOOLBOY,

II that boy of yours who is report
ed by his teachers to be duh in his
school work is bright enough about
other things don't borrow trouble
concerning him. He will come out
all right.
There are plenty of instances of
brilliant men who We're slow in
school.
For instance: There was Robert
Burns, the poet. always at the foot of
his CLASS, caring for nothing bnt
sports. And Walter Scott, the nov
elist, of whom an Edinburg professor
said, Ounce he is and Ounce he al
ways VIII remain
There are good reasons why some
boys fail to make good record in
school.
The really bright boy may be pur-
suing a line of his own. He is
studying outside the curriculum.
His predictions sway him and he
thinks of the things he wants to
think about rather than of the things
in the textbook. UncOnsciously he
is educating himself He is working
out his individual problems single
handed.
Or, it may be the teacher does not
know how to elicit the boys interest.
He struggles along and is rated low.
AT the same time he may be picking
up more than he is given credit for
He absorbs something from recita-
tioms And it may be that he is get
ting a better grasp on the salient
features OF subject than some of
the bookworms.
If the boy has a healthy body and
a healthy mind don't worry about
him. The prize student who gradu-
ates with houors not infrequently
makes a failure in after life.
When life's school opens for the
boy who has been dull in school life
be is often found to be a diligent and
successful student.

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS

The educational value of il presi-
Dental campaign is rarely taken into
account.
Business men deplore the fact that
the commercial progress OF the coun
try is interfpred with by these quad
rennial contests. The Interference,
while largely imaginary, is never
theless real in its effects.
But, then
There are some things more valua-
BILE than business. Civil liberty is
one of them.
If this government was worth the
sacrifice aud blood of the fathers, the
maintenance of ITS mission among
men is worth more than mere
temporary Oss of bus ness.
During presidential campaigns the
country resolves itself into a school
of politics. There are debating So
cieties on the streets. The people are
studying civics and economics. The
sCleuCt anu Tue hlt VI P'P"I''i oN'
ernmemt are themes of every day
conversation. The people are get
ting information about their govern
mental affairs.
1t may be urged that parIyism
rather fhan patriotism is fostered by
these heated Campaigns. But, after
making full allowance for party
spirit and partisan prejudice, it is
easily seen there remains IA pride OF
the citizen i'll his republic ADD a 10y
atty to its Institutions.
In a government of the people
there must be seasons of education.
