Burglars early In the morning en-
tered the farm home OF Emil Koch,
near BloomingdaEe, and assaulted and
probably totally blinded Minnie Mertz,
sixteen years old, and severely injured
her eighteen-year-old sister, Gertie.
The young women are sisters of Mrs.
Koch, and were spending the summer
with her. Minnie's face was severely
burned with sulphuric acid, her hair
destroyed and she was threatened with
total blindness Gertie had a broken
nose and other bruises and was In

the same room. They We're aroused
shortly before daybreak by a noise at
the window as three men climbed into
the room by means of ladder. They
came so quickly" Gertie Mertz said,

One of the men dashed something from
q bottle in the face of my sister, and
the other hit me on the face with
heavy instrument. We screamed,
alarming Mrs. Koch. who was asleep
in another room. BE still, you--v
one of the men shouted, and he turned
as if to strike me again, but disap-

Mrs. Koch's husband was in New York
City. She found the burglars busy in
the dining room, and ran out of the
house, screaming for help, but before
assistance came the burglars fed. Mr..
Koch came home while the excitement
was at it's height. He and Constable

long after daylight, but they could not
find the burglars. DR.. Day said Min

The terrific chastisement of Russia
enforces at least this moral, that bad
government at home is condition
most unfavorable for success in wars
abroad, says the New York Times
There is no natural reason why an
autocrat should not wage war with
brilliant success-indeed, in history au
tocratic rulers have been great war
riors. But if an autocrat is to make
war it is in the highest degree neces.
sary that his autocracy should be eff.
lient, that he should be man of
first-rate capacity in civil business
The example of the Gar of Russia,
whose Government is one of the very
worst in the world, makes all that very
plain, indeed.
