Old Times and New.

DIo imcS ana NcW.
There is said to be decay Of po-
l1iteness among our children whose
fathers and mothers were brought
up to be very respectful and ceremo-
nious in behavior. Perhaps nova
days the young are too independent
and that reverence for old age went
lout with the substituting OF yes and
mo for the afiirmations to which sir
and ma'am were attached in the old
days. So, too. the adoption Of the
words man and woman for lady and
gentleman may have made the young.
sters and their sisters more forward
and presuming, and 1t may be that
the Punishment of the curtsey has
made girls less modestly blushing and
sentimental than their predecessors
in the juvenile world. Still, the TAX
ing off of the hat to women by boys
and men of all classes is more general
than 1t used to be, and we believe
that profanity is less prevalent than
1t was once, for the vigorous fathers
of the republic were somewhat given
to using strong expressions, and even
the august Washington was accused
of uttering big. big D under the
stress of powerful emotion. And 1t
must be acknowledged that there was
"a good deal of hypocrisy in the fine
phrases that were current In the days
of hoop and gown, and that youth
was made familiar with hard drinking
earlier than 1t is to-day. There is less
leisure now than formerly, says Bos-
ton Budget. and people do not have
time TO cultivate the graces OF their
forefathers, but at heart they are
quite as refined in feeling and less
cruel in punishment than were their
ornate ancestors, and the boy and girl
of the present only illustrate other
times and other manners and not de.
generation.

When the first news OF the plot
leaked out the whole machinery Of the
secret service was put in motion, not

lists, but also to prevent any overt act
that might cause alarm throughout the
Nation.
The most elaborate precaution were
taken to protect the person OF the chief
executive during every moment Of his
attendance at the Tercentennial. A
strong force Of troops lined the space
in front Of the grandstand, half hun.
dred secret service men mixed with
the crowd and everybody who at
tempted to cross Lees Parade to get
to the stand was stopped.
When the president left the stand
he was hemmed in on every side by
the secret service men and detectives,
who were never more on the alert.
It was probably due to the excellent
police arrangements that no untoward
event happened to mar the presidents
visit. Just before the president ar.
rived at the exposition grounds, let

Washington police contained the infor.
nation that a notorious Chicago an.

Fort Collins, Colo.-The town OF
bellevue, twelve miles northwest OF
Fort Collins, is aroused to fever heat
as the result of an attack made on the
aged bride of N. S. West, pioneer OF
that place, by member OF charivari
party, and if the identity Of the guilty
person is established he will be sum-
marily dealt with. Red pepper was
dashed into the eyes of the woman, and
it is feared she will lose her sight.
The affair is said to be the outcome
Of feud between residents Of the dis.
trict over certain land lines, in which
West was involved The son of men,
ber of the rival faction is suspected.
No warrants have been sworn out
pending an Investigation to definitely
establish the identity Of the persons

whether or not to push the prosecu,

that the guilty parties will be brought
TO justice even If it is necessary to
take the law into their own hands.

couple was about TO retire, the chari!
vari party began the serenade. Little
attention was paid to them until. fall
ing to get any response to their noises,
they became boisterous and began to
throuw rocks through the windows.
West requested the boys to leave the
premises. but he was jeered and
hooted until forced to go back into the
house. The throwing of rocks against
the house continued until nearly every
window light was broken. West then
attempted to talk TO the youths, but his
voice was drowned by the noise.
Mrs. West leaned through one OF
the broken windows and attempted TO
advise the lads. She had spoken but
a few words when one of the number
ran up and threw the pepper into her
face. Her eyes were filed with the
burning substance and SO excruciating
was the pain that she almost com.
pletely collapsed.
A physician was hurriedly sum.
moned and spent the entire night in an
effort to relieve the pain. She Is stin
