Citizens.

Newport, Aug. p0.--An attempt to
mob Chief of Police Hinman was made
Friday afternoon and but for the timely
interference Of a prominent citizen the

that the man resisted arrest and man
ifested it by a vicious kick and followed
it by attempting to strike the policeman
with his fist. In the niixup it was nee
essary to use club which was very
effective. Barr got very severe zeat-
ing and when put ineo carriage which
took him to jail was o bad looking
specimen. His nose was severely bumped
and bled badly which made him lock
worse than Ne really was. Here IN where
the people got excited who were watch
ing the arrest and supposing the man
was nearly killed, gathered together
and waited for the officer to return
When the officer came down the street
he walked into the crowd and some
shook their fists III his face and others
threatened to give him severe whip
ping The crowd gathered until there
were over 100 and the excitement ran to
the highest pitch when Town Clerk I'll.
S. Root appeared and ordered the crowd
to disbWrse and be quiet. This had the
desired effect and the noise subsided
There is still loud talk ON the street
but there seems TO be no official com.
plant against the officer. The attend
ing physician said that the man was
not badly hurt The man was brought
into court yesterday and pleaded guilty
to intoxication and was fined S5 and
costs which he paid BAr stated that 4
member of the board Of trustees and to
the town grand juror that he had. no

ships Fruit to This Country and
Gets Growers from 1t.
1t Is said that the orange crop
which was gathered In Cuba in Janu-
ary Is the largest the island has
known. Nearly 100000 crates were
shipped to the United States.
AS for pineapples, the shipments
from Cuba to this country grew from
341,657 crates In 1900 to S7S,962 crates
last year.
Cuban tomatoes, raised in large
quantities near Guines, forty miles
from Havana, were commanding $5 a
crate in New York on New Years day.
About 100000 crates have reached the
United States this year.
Tomato raising Is a new idea in
Cuba and has not as yet been entered
Into very extensively, but growers are
devoting more attention to tomatoes
than ever before. They can be raised
much more cheaply than any other veg
etable grown on the island, and thirty
five acres can be set out at cost of
less than 500.
Buyers on the island pay so cents a
crate and often 81, during the season.
The duty Is only 10 cents and the
freight 35 cents. The heaviest ship
ments are made in March and early
April, at time which Is not interfered
with by the Florida vegetable.
Early In January the exports of on.
ions began from Cuban ports, and
these proved greatly in demand in New
York, selling for $3.25 crate. The
stock Is reported nice and clean, but
exceptionally scarce.
Until recently conditions In Cuba
have been unsettled, because the
wealthy Spaniards who have been ad
vancing the grower money were no
putting any money out for fear ther,
| might be another insurrection wher
the American soldiers withdraw II
June. But this situation has been re
lieved by American importers wh,
have ready advanced what money wa
necessary.
The number Of growers in Cuba ha
multiplied over that Of year ago
More than six hundred citizens Of tn
United States have acquired lands Of
the island and are setting out orang
groves, sugar and pineapple planta
tions, tobacco fields and the like.

La Milo, the most famous beauty IN
Europe, and who artists declare could
have served as model for Venus de
Milo, declares that physical culture
threatens to spoil feminine pulcritude.
II don't recommend physical culture
which develops muscle and makes one
part Of the body abnormal at the ex-
pense Of the other" says La Milo. "A
woman does not want to have great
muscular limbs. She ought to 60 to
the famous statues and study them.
The poetic ideal Of the sculptor repre-
sents the highest form Of feminine
beauty, and all a girl should desire In
the matter Of physical loveliness Is to
reach, as far as possible, the exquisite
proportions of the craven gems which
are sheltered In our sculpture galleries
Physical culture Is against all canons
of true art for women. 1t was never
intended that a woman should emulate
a man, whose glory lies in his strength
