What Is 1t. a Lobster?

That the methods cf public school instruction as applied in one city at least do not always meet the approba- tion of the parents of the pupils was evidenced when a German man whose bristly blond hair was standing per fectly erect with anger strode into a Baltimore school one day and, ap- preaching the principal, demanded:
 "Vot is it, lobster?"
 The principal explained in his suav- est tone that a lobster was a species of shellfish.
 'How many legs has it-der lob- ster?''
 The number of legs was promptly stated

GLEASON'S WEIRD
 STORY OF ASSAULT
Came from Milford to Col
 lect a Bill and Acquired a Jag, a Broken Arm and
 Other Injuries.

J. J. Gleason, of Milford, appeared at the Emergency hospital last night, badly cut about the face and complain ing of injuries to his arm. His wounds were dressed by Dr. Ives and Gleason passed the night in a cell as he. had been drinkink too much to be allowed to roam about the streets. Gleason told pitiful tale of his ex- periences during the evening. He said that he came to Bridgeport to col lect his his months of service at the
 Rivercliffe Sanitarium which pr. H.
 w. Allen of the Connecticut Electric and Medical Institute owed him. In stead of getting his money Gleason said he got licking and was kicked down stairs. This morning he was dis charged by Superintendent Birming- ham. He refused to make a compla int against Dr. Allen and was given mon ey to pay his fare home. This morn illgn pr. Krause discovered that Glea- sons arm was broken and the frac- ture was reduced at the Emergency hospital Gleason's tale brought him considerable sympathy. He was ad- vised to get warrant for the arrest of pr. Allen. Investigation, however, brought out the true story of Glea- sons condition. For a long time Glea- son was given a home at the Sani- tar1um. He was to receive his board and clothes. Dr. Allen slipped him a little change occasionally. The doc tors say that he was allowed to stay at Rivercliffe more out of sympathy than for any other reason and he nev- CT makes any claims for money due him except when he is under the inf1u- ence of liquor. He has been told re- peatedly to keep away from the insti- ute in this city which is conducted by the same parties as the Sanitarium. Last night he filled up with Water St. booze and as usual conceived that he had a grievance. He visited the Medical Institute and was put out by one of the attendants La ter he returned and was again put out, this time by pr. Allen, xthe man. ager. The steps were covered with ice and it is supposed that Gleason fell, striking the hard ground and stones at the bottom. pr. Allen de- nies that Gleason was kicked down. stairs or roughly handled. He was simply put out and was in no condi- tion to travel even on good going. No one at the institute thought he was hurt, for he walked away all right. His face was cut when he first reach ed the institute. This morning Glea- son said he had been paid $16 but there was still a balance due him. He acknowledged that he had taken a lit tie too much the night before. Glea- son is usually inoffensive but makes a nuisance or himself when intoxicated. His arm is broken close to the wrist and he carried it home in splints His face is covered with cuts and bruises

Iowa Mob Thirsts i'm Vain For Ne
gr0'S Blood.
Ottumwa, Iowa, Feb. 21.-Lack of
leader was all that saved Ottumwa
tonight from adding another bloody
chapter to the history OF race riots i'm
the United States. A mob of men
and boys, which has increased from
100 to more than 1000, gathered
around the city Jail, thirsty for ven
geance on the negro, who committed
criminal assault on white woman
early today. While three negroes
have been placed IN the city jail and
one in the county Jail, and several
threatening demonstrations have been
made, no man was daring enough to
lead the mob in the work they want
ed to do, and it seemed likely that
peace might be preserved.
