A RIPPER CAUGHT IN BERLIN.
Thirty-six Women Have Been Stabbed
 In That City.

Berlin. Feb. 27.-The man who in the last fortnight has been making a series of attacks upon women on the streets of Berlin was captured Friday morning. He made an attempt to stab 9 woman who was walking on the Frederick Strasse, one of the crowded shopping streets of the city.
 The clothing of the intended victim was cut, but she herself suffered no harm. The woman screamed and her assailant fled into a house on an ad- joining street, where he was at once seized by a policeman. He Is young man, but he has not yet been identi- fed.
 This attempt was the thirty-sixth ripper" case since the beginning of the outrages. There has been an actual state of terror among the women of Berlin, many servants refusing to go on the streets alone after nightfall. The police have made every effort to apture the assailant. They even had specisl detectives dressed up as wom- n and saunter through the streets, inviting attack, but all to no purpose. The assaults have been made by day s well as night and on the open street md in the halls and stairways of houses.
 The assailant would approach his in- ended victim quietly, strike at her wiftly with sharp stiletto and then aake his escape in the ensuing con fusion.
