BRUTALLY
BEATEN
BY NEGRO

New York, Nov. lO-An assault was
committed by n negro on Mrs. Belle Lip
pincott, who is a housekeeper for James
Robinson. farmer residing near Quln-
ton, y. j. The woman was beaten with
club until she was unconscious, and
then robbed OF the rings she wore.
The negro made his escape and is now
being pursued by the sheriff and posse
numbering about 30 men
The negro called al the farmhouse
when Robinson and his men were at
work In the fields. some distance from the
house. IL is believed that he watched
outside until he saw the men leave the
house and knew that Mrs Lippincott was
alone.
He walked into the house without
knocking and asked the frightened woman
where the men were. Before she had
time 10 reply or 10 utter cry for help
the man struck her on the head with a
club that he carried and she fell 10 the
floor.
The negro struck the woman again and
again until the blood spurted from her
ears. When she was almost unconscious
the man seized her hands. tore off the
rings and fled from the house.
Robinson returned TO his home soon
afterward and found Mrs. Lippincott on
the floor. As soon as she had revived
sufficiently she told what had happened,
and the farmer at once raised an alarm.
The sheriff was notified and a posse was
quickly organized 10 run down the negro.
The only description Mrs. Lippincott
could give OF the man was that he Is
about % years old and OF the coal black
type. The chase had continued at dark
last night to piece Of woods about FIVE
miles from Quinton. where IL Is thought
the fugitive may have taken refuge
Mrs Lippincott is suffering from many
wounds on the head and face. and her
face is terribly swollen where the negro
rained blows upon her She says her
assaiant's sole purpose seemed 90 be rob
berry.

HOBO WORE
EVENING
CLOTHES

Waterbury, Conn. Nov. 10.-James
Montague OBrien. Prince OF Wander
ers'' by his own word, plain hobo by the
blotter OF the police, sits jauntily in the
Plainvlle police station.
The police gathered I'm Mr.. OBrien this
morning because they had previously re-
ceived one Henry Wall, another tramp
with six stab wounds near the heart and
suspected that O'Brien inflicted them.
When they brought O'Brlen before him
Wall cringed and said he did not know
how he was hurt. The other hobUs in
the station made reverence to O'Brien.
And well they might: for never was a
tramp so sartorially splendid.
He wore Il is true, the customary fan
mel shirt, but he wore as well a suit OF
evening clothes and a French opera hat
which he rested gracefully on his hip
when arraigued. He fairly dazed the
court.
He carried a tomato can as a receptacle
for his valuables his hands were gloved
and ne had turned up the tails OF his
dress coat and pinned them under his
arms.
O'Brien told the court that he was the
wandering son OF a Hungarian count, ana
that he had chastised Wall for failure TO
respect his rank. He denied, however
that he had stabbed him. and insisted THAI
he had not stolen the dress clothes. He
will appear in court tomorrow.

He ERECTED.
STATUE To
THE DEVIL

Detroit Nov. 1o.--To show his con-
empt for religion. Herman Menz. con-
tracing stone mason yesterday unveiled
a statue OF Satan. which he had erected
himself, in front OF his home. No. BOG
Stanton avenue. The neighbors knew
ne had been erecting something, but
were horrihed when they found the nature
OF the work. Churchgoing people are
freely expressing their indignation. and
there are hints that the sacriligious
statue may be wrecked
on the base OF the statue is this m
scription in sort Of dog-Latin:
Homo non est creatio. sed evolutio.
Deus non fecit hemnem, sed homo fecet
deos." (Man is not a created being, but
the product OF evolution. God did not
make man, but man has made gods)
Menz has long been an avowed inhdel,
and last summer when evangelsts were
holding tent meetings he appealed 10 the
city council to have them stopped or
licensed like any other humbug."
Asked about his unique monument, he
said he didn't believe in God. but did
believe in the devil. $50 why shouldn't
he erect n statue 20 him?"
The monument is IA feet high and
stands on an elevation commanding
good view of the neighborhood. Satan is

SHE WANTS
MORE OF THE
100000

Chicago. Nov. 10-James c. King. mill
lionaire and phlanthropist. recognized a
potent argument I'm the suggestion OF DR..
Osler. When Mr.. King died last week he
left 81 10000 for a home in Chicago for old
men. The recently organized Anti-age
League was cheered by this piece of luck.
Now comes the young widow OF Mr..
King and threatens TO contest the will.
Mr.. King was more than seventy when
he married Miss Robinson. who is under
thirty. By an ante-nuptial contract she
was TO receive 100000. Now she says the
contract should be set aside because she
did not know he had so much money.
A dozen old lawyers have volunteered
10 assist the counsel for the estate in a
desire To win the home for old men. The
provisions OF the will limit the inmates
TO business and professional men Who
failed and are sixty or more.

BENEFIT. from Volcanic Eruption..

1t appears that the volcanic
eruptions which devastated Qua
temala last year were really
blessings in disguise. The coffee
fincas, or plantations, suffered
severely, and so gloomy was the
outlook that many planters aban.
doned their ash-covered acres and
considered themselves ruined.
As it happened, the ernptions
were followd by heavy and long
continued rains, which washed
away a large proportion of the
ashes and Incorporated the rest of
them with the soil. In the result
the mixture proved of great ben
eft to the coffee trees and the new
crop is said to be as large again as
last years. Now the planters
who did not get their share of
volcanic dust are lamenting their
plight and looking forward to
more eruptions as soon as may be.

LIoHrENs THEIR LABoRs.
Firm Of Cigar Manufacturers Enter
tain Their Employees with
Music.

A modern philosopher has cx-
pressed his approval of the man
who sings at his work, says Cas-
sells journal.
A recognition of the fact that
work ia improved by being per
formed under cheerful conditions
has led a certain Arm of American
cigar manufacturers to entertain
their employees with music.
Every day a performer on the
guitar attends at the factory, and
plays and sings to the operatives.
The musician sits in a chair and
thrums out the popular melodies
of the day, thus putting the work
ers in the best of spirits.
AS the factory is a large one, the
troubadour shifts his position
from time to time, SO that all the
workers shall have the benefit of
his music.
Some Of the cigarmakers are Of
Spanish blood, and at times it
happens that they become so en-
crossed in the music as to cease
their work. When this occurs the
minstrel promptly recalls them
to their duties by moving on"
The proprietors find the little
innovation entirely beneficial. for
1t prevents the sullenness and dis.
content that proceed from close
confinement and monotonous
work.
