HURLED BRICKS AT POLICEMEN.
Reserves Called Out to Suppress Riot
Attacked from Housetops.

The police reserves OF the Clymer street
station, Williamsburg. were called out just
before noon yesterday to suppress a riot
In front of the shop Of Isaac Newman, a
manufacturer Of trousers at No. 25s Wall
about street, and while they were at the
scene they were showered with bricks
thrown from the roofs Of buildings. The
riot was due 10 the efforts OF about a
dozen tailors for several months to per-
suade Newman TO unionize his shop.
Some OF them and their sympathizers, II
was said, lay in wait for him yesterday,
and when he and his wife, Mary, and their
son, Isaac. eighteen years old. left their
house they were Immediately attacked,
whereupon men and women swarmed out
of the neighboring buildings and joined in
the onslaught
Patrolman Benk soon was on the spot,
but he was no match for the mob, and he
telephoned for the reserves. Captain
O'Brien and Lieutenant Lyman responded
at their head. Many Of the policemen were
hit in the bombardnent from the house
tops that awaited them. but kept at their
work and soon succeeded in dispensing the
mob.
The Newmans were badly beaten. and

THE NATURE OF WOMAN.

The idea that the nature of woman II
naturally gentle and peaceable IS scarcely
borne out by the history OF primitive peo-
pie. A recent traveller in Borneo says that
the head hunts OF the Dayaks. which were
continued up to twenty-five years ago.
were inspired not so much by the ferocity
Of the men as by the admiration OF the
women for that amiable quality. They
usually considered it beneath their dignity
to marry a man who possessed none OF
these trophies. and often man was actual
ly forced 10 get a head If he wished TO
marry. A story is told of one native who.
having been persuaded by the missionaries
to give up head hunting, was refused BY
the object OF his affections on this account.
and that notwithstanding the fact that the
passion was mutual The girl told him to
dress in women's clothes. for he had no
longer the courage of a man. and he. goad-
ed by her taunts. went away and returned
with four heads. AS he opened the sack
and the grewsone love tokens fell upon
the floor the girl fell on his neck and en-
braced him. but her joy was short lived. for
the heads were those OF her father, her
mother, her brother and the rival OF her
lover.

much later no woman who had any respect
for herself would have worn Jewel that

ornaments. The modern woman has per-
haps fewer treasures. butsshe has an end

are often of trifing cost. but which enable
her to give just the right decorative touch

These things are of more use to her than

GEORGIA WOMAN A SUICIDE.
Police Believe She Was Led to the Act
by Poverty and Hunger.

Georgia Mcclellan. who was said TO have
come here from Georgia about two years
ago, killed herself yesterday morning by in
haIing Illuminating gas in her room on the
top floor Of No. 131 West 125th street.
She had evidently prepared for death by
tearing up all her letters and had taken off
her shoes and stockings and then lay on the
bed TO await asphyxiation. A single soda
biscuit in a pasteboard box and bottle
with a little sour milk in it were all the
food that was in the room, leading the
police to conclude that poverty and hun
ger had driven her 70 suicide.
Mrs Almira c. Lawton, the young wom-
ans iandIady, said that Miss Mcclellan,
who was twenty-five years old. but very
small. had been an apprentice in shop in
West s3d street. but had lost her position
last week. She told Mrs. Lawton OF her
trouble, but did not mention that she was
out of funds and facing starvation

Roll the croquettes in a little egg yolk
and bread crumbs, and then fry them in

sausages may be used, but the sausage
makes an attractive croquette to serve

An invalid in Pennsylvania wrote that there
had been nothing to eat in her house for a
week but bread. and three months rent is
due. The money that was sent to her will
get food and pay something to the land
lord, but the outlook is very dark for this
member. A New Jersey "shut-in" received
her sunshine in time to buy little coal

for rent keeps her in trouble, as the pa

to the storm, her husband, who is a fisher

ROSS AUTOMOBILE
 INTO DIFFICULTIES

Following the mishap of two weeks ago when his automobile broke through the ice of the Idit arod river, Ross has been having i'll luck with his freighting propo- sition from Dikeman. The machine went through i'll comparatively shallow water, but it was some time before he could get 1t out and some time after before he could re- pair it.
 He had succeeded in making two trips bringing up three and four tons at trip, and could then make the return run in a day. However, since the teams quit the river trail and took to the cutoff, the snow has hindered him, and ii is doubtful if he can compete successfully with the horses unless he devises some means of shoveling the snow away.

NEW FIRE HALL NOW
 HOLDS CHEMICAL

With Chief Bruntlle and six men sleeping in the hrehall next to a telephone and tue chemical, the first real semblance of fire protection came into existence early last week, when the fire department took up quarters ill tue new building OH First street, which was placed there by the city trustees as temporary housing of the fire apparatus.
 There will be men sleeping in the place now all the time, for be- sides BrunelIe and bis assistants at night, Wa,chman Wallace will slumber there ill the day time, where he can be aroused by any call phoned ill. Arrangement have also been made to call the Northern saloon at any time, so that should the fire house be empty, someone can run over from tie corner and ring the alarm
 The big bell which has hung at the N. c Co corner oi Richmoud court, was placed on top of the fire hall, and if fire should be dis covered, the quickest way to raise an alarm would doubtless be 10 run to the hall and pull the bell rope.

What Will the CraVeIS
 Of Glen GuIch Say?

In the ardor of developing far and supposedly greener fields the good things of the immediate vicinity are being overlooked, and there are very few people who know that Carl Ram stadt and John Hewitt at the mouth of Glen gulch have struck considerable quantity of the richest pay in the camp, They can rock out $lO0 in day easily enough, and two and three-dollar pans are said to be common.
 In addition, they have ditch of sev- eral thousand feet which will bring water to Glen next spring. Lack of water has held this pup back since the camp started, and with plenty of it on the ground next spring, Glen will take a prominent place among the pro ducers ot the district.

Frank B. Stanley, the hotel man out at Flat City has a Christmas tree bug ln his bonnet and he phoaed in the other day to tell us that the only way he could get rid of the thing was to have the Christmas tree.
 Hence he is making plans out there for one big jollitication on Christmas eve, and has had big crew of men out in the hills for week or so looking for the largest evergreen tree in the Idit arod watershed.
 This specimen of forestry will be set up in the big dining room of the Stan ley house on Saturday evening, Dec. 24, and all the children in the entire coun- try are invited to be on hand and play ring g-arouud-the-rosey. There will be candles and popcorn and candies and presents, and Santa Claus will be there with a whole string of reindeer. Frank got wireless from St. Nicholas the other day, saying he was getting ready to leave .Ketchumba early and would be on the job Ut the appointed hour.
 Following the visit of Santa Claus and the distribution of presents, every body will turn to for one big dance, of the kind that has made Flat creek fla moO.
