Miss Atkins showed a great amount
of fortitude, never faltering when death

the family and friends who lovingly did
for her all that they could do to make
her remaining days as comfortable as
possible. The greater part of the care
has been upon the sister, Flora, who has
left no stone unturned. The blow falls
heavily upon the family, as the mother

WITH INJURED ARM.
Jabez White Stood Up Ten Rounds Be-
fore Joe Cans Last Night.

National Athletic Club, New York,
March 13.--Joe Cans, former light
weight champion Of the world, easily
defeated Jabez White, the English light
weight champion, in ten round bout at
the National Athletic club last night.
It was a tame exhibition and the big
crowd was disappointed for the men
were slow and many of their blows
lacked force.
White used his left cleverly in the
first two rounds but in the third he
changed his tactics replying mainly on
his right. Two rounds later the cause
OF this shift was apparent. White
broke his left arm sometime ago in
England and he hurt it early in the
third round last night.
He was knocked down once in the
sixth, twice in the seventh, when the
bell saved him but one second, and
once in the eighth.
Cans was far from being the Cans of
even two years ago for he missed sew
eral blows, misiudged distances and
failed to take advantage Of many op-
portunities.

Run Down by Policeman After Attack
on Woman.

Berlin, Feb. 27.-The man who dur
ing the last fortnight has been max
ing a series of attacks upon women
on the streets has been captured. He
made an attempt to stab woman on
Friedrich street, one of the crowded
shopping streets of the city The
clothing of his intended victim was
cut, but she herself suffered no harm.
The woman screamed and her assail-
ant fled into house on an adjoining
street, where he was at once seized
by policeman. This attempt was
the thirty-sixth ripper" case since
the beginning of the outrages. The
descriptions of the assailant do not
agree and for this reason it is be-
lieved various men may have been
engaged in the work. There has been
an actual state of terror among the
women of Berlin, many servants re-
fusing to go on the streets alone after
nightfall
