theory that the material acted upon is
heated at the place OF contact TO the

The high temperature appears to be
confined very narrowly to the point Of
contact, so that a thin cash is cut.
The temperature of the revolving disk
does not rise SO high because of the

She Was Rendered Uncon-
scious by Blow and Robbed
In a Bold Manner.
CRIMES ARE MULTIPLYING.
PIckPockETS WORKED FREELY
AND PURSE SNATCHING WAS
GENERAL AT THE ROBINSON
CIRCUS.

AS a result of an assault made up
on her Wednesday night near the cir
Gus grounds Mabel Ross. a sixteen
years old colored girl employed as a
domestic in the family of H. NJ. SUIT
ton, west Of the city, is in serious
condition and it is feared that she
may lose the sight of one eye.
The assault was a very bold one and
notwithstanding the fact that it was
committed in a large crowd, but few
people noticed it until the assailant
had robbed his victim and made good
his escape. According to the state
ment made to Mrs. Sutton by the
young woman she and companion,
Jessie Page of Eaton, were walking on
North Nineteenth street just south of
the bridge when the assault was
made. 1t occurred about o'clock.
She says she saw man grab
purse a young white girl was carry
ing. The girl screamed and then the
Ross girl turned to her companion and
said, Lets get away from here, | am
scared" She states that the Page girl
asked her if she had any money or val
uables and she replied that she had
gold watch and chain and $1.15. Just
as she said this some body struck her
a crushing blow over the head and
she did not recover consciousness I'M
til she came to in nearby residence,
where the Page girl was bathing her
head
Prosecutor Jessup stated this morn
ing that he had been informed of the
assault by Clara Ross a sister of the
victim who is employed by Mr.. Jes-
sup as a domes He states that
Clara Ross tells a different story of
the affair, and said that she was with
her sister when the assault took place
He is inclined to believe that Mable
Ross received her injuries in some
manner different than stated by the
two sisters.
The assault made on the Ross girl
was not the only crooked work perpe-
trated at the show grounds. Several
people had their pockets picked and
there were several cases of purse
snatching. But few complaints were
made by victims to the police as they
knew it would be almost impossible
for the police to locate their assail-
ants. There were probably more
crooks following the Robinson circus
than any show that has visited Rich
mond for some time

ADVERTISING A BOOK.
How the Author of "Valerie" Cap
tured Pnrisians Long Ago.

tured Pnrisinns Long Ago.
We had some notes a little while
ago ON the methods which some au-
thors have adopted for the advertise
ment of their books. A correspondent
sends us an example of this sort Of
thing, which is the better worth quot
ing because we have never seen it
quoted in this connection before. 1t is
taken from a life of Nine. de Krudner,
whose novel valerie" appeared short
~ after Nine de Stael's "Delphine."
You know quite WELL" the author
wrote to a friend, that neither talent
nor genius nor the excellence of ones
Intentions is sufficient to insure
success. Everything demands some
charlatanism.' And the biographer
proceeds TO tell us how she translated
her doctrine into action.
During several days, he writes, she
made the round of the fashionable
shops incognito. asking sometimes for
shawls, sometimes for hats, feathers,
wreath or ribbons, all "a la Valerie"
When they saw this beautiful AMI ele-
CANT stranger step out of her carriage
with an air of assurance and ask for
fancy articles which she invented on
the spur of the moment the shopkeep-
ers were seized with a polite desire
to satisfy her by any means in their
power Moreover, the lady would soon
pretend to recognize the article she had
asked for. And if the unfortunate
shopgirls. taken aback by such I'M
usual demands, looked puzzled Nine.
de Krudner would smile graciously
and pity them for their ignorance of
the new novel. thus turning them all
into eager readers of valerie" Then,
laden with purchases, she would drive
off to another shop, pretending to
search for that which existed only in
her imaginat ton. Thanks to these ma
neuvcrs, she succeeded in exciting
such ardent competition in honor OF
her heroine that for a week ar least
the shops sold everything "a la Va
lerie." Her own friends. the innocent
accomplices in her stratagem, also visit
ed shops on her recommendation. thus
carving the fame of her book through
the Faubourg Saint-Germain and the
Chaussee d'Antin.-London Academy.

Oyster Bay, July 3.-Kermit Roose-

Yes was the answer. I'VE will

Which museum is likely to get

ed.
"Probably either the Smithsonian OF
