Tramp Assaults Woman After She
 Gives Him Meal
Especial from United Press.)

&OpeCldl rom OnIteO PreSS.)
 Winsted, Aug. 2-The town of East Norwal is seething, today, over the story of a dastardly attack by an un- known tramp on a married Polish woman, name not known. last Monday, in the absence of her husband. The tramp asked for food and the woman gave him good meal. When he had finished partaking of her hospitality the tramp knocked her down and, flashing a revolver and threatening her with death, if she made an out cry, criminally assaulted her.
 She was not discovered until the ev- ening of the same day. Sheriff Mid dlebrook, of this city, was notified and started hunting the unknown. Theoron Wedge, an East Cornwall lumberman, spent all Monday night searching for the tramp The scene of the crime is in the lockwood and the nearest neighbor is over a mile distant.
 The. tramp is described by his vic tim as about 35 years old, of Irish descent, having mixed gray hair. He is said to have worn overalls and Brown shirt and hat. The woman's condition, today, is serious.

TROPICS NEAR ARCTIC CIRCLE.

Superintendent A. B. Snyder, como manding the Royal Mounted at White horse, Yukon Territory, reported to the Commissioner in 1909 that from north of the Porcupine there had come repeated rumors of the existence of still inhabitated by maStOdons.
 'sThe Indians," concludes Superin- tendent Snyder, report having seen the gigantic tracks of these animals
 But little attention was paid to these stories, until in November of last year c. J. Mcintyre and two com panions made a most amazing dis- covery north of the Porcupine. They were travelling by dog-sled, with the thermometer at forty below, when to their astonishment the temperature began to rise so fast that within a, space of two hours they had thrown off their warm garments, and the snow was soft underfoot
 .'It seemed,'' said Mcintyre, "as though we were suddenly passing from winter into spring. Soon after they came upon the first of numberless hot springs, the snow disappeared entirely and dense vegetation took the place of the stunted bush and necessarily slow travel on foot the explorers were not able to determine the extent of this wonderful oasis in the midst of an Arctic desolation. They found several good-sized rivers flowing with warm water and teem- ing with fish, and the country was alive with bear, caribou, ducks, pheasants, wild geese, and other game, and gold was found in a num- Der of the creeks. Mcintyre will soon start at the head of a second expedi- tion ito this mysterious country Games Oliver Curwood in Success

Something New
 In The Line Of
 NuptiaI Contract
(NeW York Sun.l

Here is a contract dated January l, 1911, on which Elsie R. Hollande CT of 62 West 115th street is suing Ma than Erteschik of g Clinton Street, q garter manufacturer, for $10,000 dam- ages for breach of pronise:
 To happy fate, May it rise and sprout like a fresh garden. "He who found wife found happiness"
 To begin with the young man above named takes it unto himself to mar ry the bride above mentioned, and take her to. himself as wife by Con- opy, and sanctioned according to the laws of Moses and Israel. They shall not divide or hide any portion of money one from the other, but should share their property alike and equally, as is the custom of the land.
 The groom takes it unto himself to give presents, as is the custom, and the above named bride takes 1t unto herself to give as dowry $"; also clothes, pillows and coverings, as usual. The wedding shall take place with good luck. A penalty from the one who breaks this contract should be according to the laws of the land. Pledged by the clasping of hands and affirmed by handing over a which is even f1rmer than surety and better than a form of contract and of value and fit to buy by
 This document both signed with the amount of the dowry left blank. The plaintiff, who had the defendant ton, said 1t was agreed that the we'd ding should take place on June 10 and was to be followed by reception and that for some months the defen- dant either called or telephoned daily and talked of his undying love and prayed the day when the mar riage should be at hand" Toward the end of April, she said. he began to show less attention to her, and when she asked if he had suffered a change of heart he told her he had heard that her parents were wealthy and that it was no more than right that he should have $1,500 from her father to use in his business She told him her father would help them after their marriage, but didn't men ton any figures.
 On May 5, the defendant address ed a letter to Dear Father -in-law" which read in part:
 Seems to me your whole dealing is something neither one way or the other. You make suggestion and said so let us talk open. You promise to give me s1,500 and you thought of making the wedding. Out of my business I cannot support wife as needed, and if you do not want to or cannot put down the promised dowry shall be obliged to wait till God will help me that will be able to marry without dowry.
 The plaintiff said she became fran tic with grief when this letter arriy-1 ed because many other opportunities had presented themselves during her. courtship with the garter manufac-1 turer, but she had turned them all aside. Then she sent Cousin Jacob Goldberger to question the defendant and to him Erteschik said that be- cause of the cost of getting married he would have to get dowry of $1,- 500. Goldberger asked the defendant if he was marrying the money or the girl, and the defendant said he need ed the money in his business.

ANOTHER sANAToRIUM FOR TT.
BERCUL0SIS.

BEhCUIOSlS.
There is little doubt that the commits
sion which was appointed by Gov. Mead
yesterday to investigate and report con-
corning the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing
a sanatorium for advanced cases Of tu-
berculosis will discover that there is a
great need for such an institution in
Vermont; in fact, need for more than
one, as tuberculosis is one of the great
est destroyers Of life in Vermont at the
present time. The Proctor sanatorium
at Pittsford is doing effective work in a
small way, but its sphere is eircum-
seribed by limited accommodations and,
at the same time, it win not receive pa
tents who are in advanced stages of the
disease. That leaves the major por-
ton of the population, having the dis
ease, without medical treatment, except
that afforded in their own homes and
under the care of resident physicians.
Without question, a great deal Of good
might be done among the patients who
are not acceptable to the institution at
Pittsford; and from the economic stand
point the state can afford to invest in
at least one institution OF this sort. 1t
is to be hoped that the state will find a
way to provide for the establishment of
the institution proposed.
