NEGRO FOLLOWS
GIRL; TROUNCED
Unknown Black Severely Chas-
tised for Advances on 12-
Year Old White.
WOMEN APPLAUD BEATING
1t Is Administered by William Smart,
Street Car Conductor-Sensa-
ton in East End.

An unknown negro made an attack
upon 12-year-old white girl yesterday
noon and as a result he was beaten
almost into Inconsistencies by white
man who happened to be near at hand.
The little girl was going to her home
and the course led through the passage
way from Fifth to Fifth-and-a-half ave
nue. where Twenty-ninth street should
be. The negro followed her into al
alley and when he thought no one was
looking he made a dash for her and
caught hold of her.
The girl screamed and William
Smart, a street car conductor, who
happened to be passing, came to her
rescue. He seized the negro and start
ed in to give him a dreadful drubbing.
He knocked him down several times
and beat his face almost into a pulp.
The blood streamed from his wounds,
and he cried for mercy, but made very
little attempt at fighting back, being
principally engaged in protecting him
self as far as possible.
Spectators Encourage White.
A number of spectators gathered.
many of them being women, from the
neighborhood. and when they were ap-
prised of the reason for the drubbing
which was being administered TO the
negro, they applauded the white man
and made no attempt TO stop him.
When the negro was beaten into an
absolute state of submission, the white
man suffered him to depart with
warning that death would be his lot if
he ever attacked another white girl
No arrest was made, as it was thought
that the negro will take heed and make
himself scarce in these parts.

Cut yourself?" asked the man in
the chair.

the barber-"an ingrowing hair under

The man in the chair laughed.
Fact" said the barber. ''It isn't an
uncommon thing either. In giving a
customer hair cut "a bit of hair often
lodges under the finger nail, and if il
isn't removed it is apt TO tester and
get sore. Sometimes we don't even
know it's there until it begins to get
in its fine work. 1t hurts like the
dickens sometimes. If you don't be-
lieve me. ask any barber and he'll
tell you the same thing."-New York
