William C. Brown, a deputy sheriff.
Wounded:
Deputy Marshal John J. Jackson.
Dr. G. H. Pitt, Town Marshal Wat

Frank Howard Watson Pelly.
1t is probable the house will be
burned in an effort to arrest the ne
gro. Sunday afternoon Shaw was ter
rorizing the community around Wait
man and an appeal was sent to this
city for help. posse at once formed,
but as soon as it appeared the mad
man opened fire.
Town Marshal Watson was shot In
the face and Deputy Marshal Jack
son in the back. Others wounded
were DR.. G. H. Pitt on the hands,
a boy named Howard and another boy
named Pelly in the legs.
Yesterday morning a posse headed
by Sheriff Kelly went to Waitman
and found the negro sitting on his
front porch. Shaw Quickly barricad-
ed himself in the house. The posse
tried to storm the house, but the ne
gro opened fire, wounding James
Ford and John Robinson.
He apparently only had small shot,
which saved the lives Of those he shot
at. He had two revolvers, but an.
nounced that he would save them for
work at close quarters. A great crowd
gathered around the house, keeping at
a safe distance.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
w. c. Brown, a deputy sheriff OF Han
cock county, volunteered to go to the
house and take Shaw. When within
fifteen feet of Shaw the latter fired,
blowing Browns head completely on,
The body now lies at the door Of the
house and can not be recovered.
The burning of the house is now be-
ing discussed by the posse. and this
probably will be done.

The continued growth and progress

Gar Grants the Sex All Privileges
Before Restricted to Men.
The Woman's Medical Institute in
ST. Petersburg, on its foundation. was
hailed as the only place in the world
where a woman could take out med
zeal degrees. 1t was unendowed and
vas kept going by voluntary sub
scriptions and by the sacrifices OF pro-
fessors, whose zeal was even greater
than their skill.
But though it was looked toward
by many as a beacon Of ADVANCE, the
school in reality had only trembling
vitality, knowing well that the lifting
OF the eyebrow of any powerful per-
sonage was enough to send 1t tump-
ling down. AS mater of fact, the
school was closed in 1886 by the mini
ster, Warrowsky, and was not re-
opened until eleven years later, when
1t lived on, if possible, in more
trembling condition than before
1t has now assumed sudden I'm
rcrtance. 1t has been brought from
its struggling retirement. All the
world has been told of its existence
and called upon to give it recognition.
An edict from the car has given II
status and a substantial grant. Its
students get all the privileges hither'
to available to men.
The reason of this sudden change OF
official attitude is that the war is tax
ing all the Russian men doctors, and
II their places are not supplied the
country is at the mercy of any cpl
demic that would come along. Hence
the thoughtfulness and the generosity
which has been suddenly developed to
ward the woman doctor.
