With Negro at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, March S.-While return

three years old. 400 East oath street, was
attacked by an unknown negro. shortly
after 20 o'clock Saturday night, who after
clutching her by both arms snatched the
young woman's pocketbook and started
to run. BY the plucky nerve she dis
played the young woman in all proba-

injury than being seized by the negro. fot
she fought her assailant with an UNI
brella which she carried until he was
scared off by her screams.
To the timely arrival Of Mr.. f. p. Null

proa ching he threw the pocketbook in
the street and took to his heels.

specialized. that of overtaking the girls
party somewhere en- route. appeared a
long one-a gamblers risk. and far too
risky IL he did not exaggerate the urg-
ency of his Grand Rutton's instructions
had. moreover. been explicit upon one
point-Amber was to enter India only by
the port of Calcutta. In deferring to this
the Virgfnian lost several days waiting In
London for the fortnightly P. and o.

have been obviated by taking the over
land route to Brindisi, connecting there
with the weekly p. and o. boat for Bonn
bay, from which latter point Calcutta
could have been quickly reached by rail
across the Indian peninsula

Trio Ate Forbidden Fruit

into a pippin. Stealthily approaching
the spot, the watchers were surprised
to- see two well-dressed women and a
man, whose white tie at once distin-
guished him from the laity, eating the
forbidden fruit with unmistakable
signs of pleasure.
Like unbidden guests at a banquet,
the watchers came upon the scene,
and the trio were taken into custody
and hailed before a local magistrate.
The proceedings were held behind be-
hind closed doors, but the farmer was
there, and, it was learned, talked rath-
er smartly at the parson. restraining
himself from vile words that were
hard to keep down. The plea of the
apple eaters was that they had been
told that the owner of the orchard was
not going to gather any more fruit,
and the public was free to take 1t.
In consideration Of extenuating cir
cumstances connected with the case.
the complainant agreed to take no
further action.

FINDS WATER SUPPLY is BAD
Government Investigators Report on
City and Farm Conditions-Both
Are Suffering.

Washington.-Conditio affecting
the health and safety of people, both
on farms and in cities, are pointed
out in striking manner in a govern
ment publication giving the results of
investigations as to the pollution OF
water supply on farms. The govern
ment experts, who worked in con-
junction with the Minnesota state
board of health, find that the state OF
affairs throughout the country dis
tricts of Minnesota are SO bad that
typhoid fever epidemics are not at all
unusual. The conditions found in
Minnesota are generally applied by
the Investigators.
Both farm and city are suffering
from the careless management of
rural sanitation" says the report pub
lished by experts of the agricultural
department. Carl F. Kellerman and
H. A. Whitaker, experts in water puri-
fication investigations. working with
members of the Minnesota board of
health, collected exhaustive data from
10 farms in Minnesota. OF this num-
Der only 20 were found to have good
water supply. The water supplies Of
the other SO were found to be pol
luted, and in many cases, typhoid
fever outbreaks were traced directly
to them. On at least twenty-three of
the farms it was found that typhoid
fever had broken out.
There must be marked improve
ment of rural sanitary conditions II
danger of typhoid fever and other ILL
nesses due to polluted water supply
are to be guarded against, says the re-
port, in substance. In the majority
of cases the scientists found that igno-
rant management and a lack of care
as to surroundings and locations OF
the wells caused the pollution Of the
water supply. OF the SO polluted wells
reported upon IL are so situated that
even extreme care would not make
them safe. Ten are poorly located,
but could be made safe If properly
protected from surface drainage, and
rs are bad only because of poor sur
face protection and could be easily
made safe for general use.

Parson and Two Women Invade I
Farmers Apple Orchard and
Are Arrested for Theft.

Palmyra, N. J.-One of the saddest
chapters in local history was written
when a well-knoWn parson. who was
supposed to be thoroughly informed
regarding the transgression of Adam
and Eve in the garden, was caught in
the act of taking luscious red apples
from the orchard of a well-to-do
farmer.
The morning dew was still upon the
fruit as the parson, accompanied by
two women, drove by in a carriage.
There were the apples hanging in clus-
tiers from the well-laden trees. They
were within easy reach and no one ap-
peared to be around. The temptation
was too great for ordinary mortals.
and, forgetting himself, the parson,
to use homely phrase, pitched in and
so did the women. They were helping
themselves literally to the fruit when
something unexpected happened.
1t appears that the farmer had been
losing SO many apples that he put one
of his men on watch, and also enlisted
the services of Special Officer Tones.
These men were on duty when they
saw an empty carriage standing out
side the orchard and, at the same
time, heard peculiar munching
sound, such as is made when biting

BRAVE PERILs OF CANYONS
Five Men Set New Record for Naviqat
ing Colorado River-Make Jour-
ney In Row Boats.

Pasadena, Cal.-After having pene-
trated the Grand Canyon from end to
end and completed the longest trip
ever made on the turbulent Colorado
river, julius F. Stone, president of the
Central National bank of Columbus,
O., and party have reached this city.
The party started on September IL,
and for 1900 miles from Green River,
Utah, to Needles Cal, overcame the
dangers of Grand Canyon, Marble Can
yon, Cataract Canyon and scores OF
lesser gorges and rapids in rowboats.
At intervals in the shooting the
rapids in these gorges, the party OBJ
tanned 1000 photographs of hieroglyph-
les made by Indians in past ages and
records carved in the rocks by the De
Julian French party in 1886.
Mr.. Stone had planned the trip for
II years. He was accompanied by
Nathan Galloway and s. S. Dubendorff
of Utah, who acted as guides, and by
Raymond Coggswell of Ellery, O., a
photographer, and c. c. Sharp, BUSH
ness associate Mr.. Sharp left the
party at Hite, Utah.
I'VE are the third party to complete
the trip" said Mr.. Stone. 'The first
was headed by Maj Powell in 1869.
After Is miles in Cataract Canyon
we found the wreckage of the equip
ment of party, evidently composed
of two men and boy. A coat which
we picked up was marked with the
name C. w. Hadley.'"
