MATRoN SEIZED REVOLVER
And Called the Police When Negro
Sought the Girls.

Lynchburg, Va, June 19.-Following
closely upon an attempted criminal as.
sault Sunday morning in practically
the same neighborhood, George Ham.
iett, Colored, was caught in the Van.
dyke League lone, where 20 pretty
working girls were sleeping. He was
heard by the Iuatron, who armed her
self with revolver and quietly phoncd
for the police. Hamlet, hearing an
officer in the house, tried to escape,
but was caught by two other policemen
as he was rushing from the back door.
The polite declare the man was trying
to find the sleeping quarters Of the
girls.
At practically the same time the ar.
rest of Hamlet was effected SO men
and boys presented themselves at the
city Jail and demanded the custody OF
John Robinson, negro, who was
caught in the act of attempting 20
assault Mrs. G. w. Caller. The mob
while seemingly determined, lacked
leadership. Sergt. johnson convinced
1t that the man had been removed
from the jail, although such was not
the case. The NAB was then dispersed
by the police.
These two instances, one following
close upon the heels of the other. have
caused Intense feeling against the
blacks in the neighborhood.

What will induce the well-tO-do to
have more children is an increasing
sense of their own individual welfare.
The considerations which prevent such
persons from having families of more
natural size are those of crude, ma
terial amusement or else those Of half.
baked ideas of culture and develop
ment. If our well-to-dO people are on
the eve of somewhat ripper education,
as we believe they are, the size of the
family will increase just as living in
the country, interest in beauty, free
dom from the need of hectic amuse-
mept, and other signs of choicer
standards are increasing. We have
been rather grossly pTeoccupied with
material accoutrements, says Golfers.
We have had fierce attack of ''gad-
ding" Our women have been carried
into fantastic absurdities by the novel
toys that have become accessible to
them. We prophesy that the wealthy
woman whose thought is devoted to
chasing interesting things to do, or
wishing she could write books or paint
pictures, will soon be as ridiculous
among educated Americans as DR..
Johnson's dancing dog. Let those
families die out which are most inter-
ested in luxury or vanity or shallow
freedom from responsibility: why not?
Their place will be taken by those
which tend like evolution, toward diff
1erentiation of the sexes, not toward
tight against the difference and its
consequences.

CABINET TOTTER|NG.
SITUATION WORSE THAN HAE
BEEN SUPPOSED.
REVOLT IS LIKELY TO INCREASE.
Report is Current That Leader Of the
Disturbing Element is On His
Way to Paris.

Paris, June 21.-The rebellious ex.
cesses and rioting in the Midi are
causing the greatest excitement and
apprehension in Paris. All afternoon
newspapers issued editions every hour,
which woce snatched from the hands
of the venders by the eager public.
The general impression here seems
to be that the situation is even worse
than had been supposed, and that the
revolt is likely to increase, especially
in view of the somewhat violent dis.
positions of the inhabitants of the
southern provinces.
AS the news spreads it is thought
that further disturbances will take
place. The outbreaks in Narbonne,
PerpigIan, Montpelier and other
places are regarded of ominous charac-
ter.
All sorts of rumors were afioat, but
owing to numerous wire Interruptions,
definite and detailed information was
difficult to obtain. One report that
gained currency was that Marcelln
Albert, the leader of the disturbing
element, was on the way to Paris in
disguise and would appear in the cham
ber of deputies.
Premier Clemenceau and many
other government officials will remain
at the ministry of the interior through
out the night. M. Clemenceau stated
that he had the greatest difficulty in
communicating with the authorities at
Narbonne,

of excited deputies. The absence Of
reliable news made them nervous, and
Immediately after the session was
opened there were noisy demands for
full information. Clemenceau was
willing to answer questions, but had
little to inpart beyond what was al
ready known.
After confirming the reports of the
sanguinary fight at Narbonne and
Montpelier, for which he blamed the
local ronghs, the premier declared his
intention to repel the attacks on public
buildings until driven from his post
by the chamber. He added that his
orders to the troops were not to fire
except as a last resort, but he declared
that the use of rifles was necessary to
uphold law and the united republic.

That American women are giving in

outdoor exercises Of all kinds, with
corresponding benefits physically, is
evident. The fact that the American
lady who won the tennis champion
ship in England last year has gone

cessful this year, is made additionally
interesting by the further announce
ment that a party of English women
will return with her to compete in a
number of contests here, including
that for the international tennis cup.
That will put American PLAYERS on
their mettle. Women are making rec
ords on the golf grounds, also, and in

choose to engage are developing ex-
pertness and getting practice which
assure the most beneficial result.
