Phone Rang Just in Time.

Attacked ia her apartment, 235 west
One Hundred aud Eleventh street, New
York, by masked negro, Miss Eliza
beth Solomon was saved from robbery or
injury by the opportune ringing of her
telephone bell, which frightened away
the intruder. He was pursued into Gen.
trail Park, but escaped.
Miss Solomon lie daughter of the late
John Solomon, an Irish inventor and
iron manufacturer, who came to this
country many years ago and accumu-
lated a large fortune. She lived on the
fourth floor, with her sister Catherine,
so years old, until last May, when the
latter became blind and it was necessary
to place her in a sanitarium. Miss Sol
ONION, living there alone since then, was
cleaning her diamond rings and earrings
few days ago when the bell at the
front door of her apartment sounded. She
left the Jewels on the washstand to an-
swer the bell
Opening the door Miss Solomon was
confronted by tall negro, who wore a
brown mask. He Immediately clutched
her throat, but not before she had been
able to scream so loudly that she was
heard by small boys in an adjoining
apartment.
At the same moment Miss SolOmon's
telephone bell rang close beside the ne
gro who was choking her. Her guardian,
Joseph w. Monshan, had called up
his ward. The burglar evidently thought
the bell had sounded an alarm, for he
dropped the woman and fled up the
stairway to the root just as Mrs. Bern
stein, occupant of the apartment across
the hall, opened her door. Her boys
had heard Miss Solomon's scream.
Running To the roof aud over it to
235 west One Hundred and Eleventh
street, the negro dashed down through
the house and into the street. Miss
Solomon tainted and it was an hour be-
fore she revived.

ACCORDING to dispatches received in
New York, the historic island OF Juan
Fernandez, at one time the solitary
abode Of Alexander Selkirk, has sunk in
the Pacific ocean, and will consequently
pass out of biographies of the future.

Scotchmau, who lived a solitary exist
tence on the island for four years, is said

TUESDAY EVENING. AUG. 81, 1906

DURING THE past few days two more
voung women have been maltreated and
murdered by negro brutes in the southern
part of the country. In one instance
the fend, who had been captured, was
shot to death at the scene of his crime.
Assaults and lynchings south OF Mason's
and Dixon's line are becoming more
frequent and hardly week passes
wi,nout such occurrences. Some have
supposed that the use OF liquor and CO.
csine by negroes often convert them In
- irresponsible brutes. A dispatch from
brentwood, s. c., last night tells OF the
arrest and placing in Jail Of Bob Faust
coIored, thirty years old, who yesterday
afternoon went crazy thinking over the
recent lynchings, and announced thai
he would assault every woman he met.
Three times he attacked colored women
and was driven away without doing them
injury. Then he entered the premises
of Benjamin King, white farmer living
in the Coronaca section, loudly proclaim
ing that he meant TO assault the women
of the place. He had gun, but King
succeeded in disarming him, and later,
securely bound, he was taken to Green
wood, apparently rsving lunstic.

II. RI. Officials Lacked lin.

Brooklyn Rapid Transit officials found
themselves in a serious plight yesterday
when bail was refused and two of them
were placed in cells on charges of incit-
ing 10 riot in the recent troubles between
the company and its passengers who re-
fused to pay two fares to Coney Island.
They were General Superintendent
Dow S. Smith and Chief Inspector Will
liam Eewberry. Two others-General
Manager John F. Calderwood and Vice.
President Timothy II. Williamson
raigned on The same charge, were adj
mitted to $4,000 bail each. They were
arrested last Friday.
When the cases came before Magis-
trate Higginbotham yesterday afternoon
the defendants attorney asked that ex
animation of the four men be waived and
that they be bailed. Lawyer Mcdonald
Dewitt, from the Office of Clarence j.
Shearn, counsel for William r. Hearst's
Municipal Ownership League, made the
point that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
officials we're charged with melting TO
riot; that a murder had resulted from
the consequent riots, and that, according
ly, the magistrate had no right to fix
bail. The magistrate decided TO hold
the prisoners. as stated, without further
argument.
Smith and Newberry were later released
from their cells in Raymond street Jail by
Judge Jaycox, who, in the Supreme
Court, Brooklyn, late yesterday afternoon
issued a writ of babess corpus and &C.
cepted 50, 500 bail from each.

LET ALL bear this fact in mind; all
subsidies. petty or great, are paid out OF
the revenue collected by taxation from
the people. The ides that this govern
ment is rich is q false idea. 1t has
nothing but what it takes from the
peoples pockets. The rich pay federal
taxes only in the proportion OF the
poor: and that is an insignificant pro-
portion; and even that proportion is off,
