About o'clock last night when two ladies from Crest street had just turned into Park avenue and were coming to the business district of the city, two negro purse snatchers ap- preached them from across the street. each grabbed at the hand bags the ladies carried, and one negro slap. ped one of the ladies to terroTize her as they turned to run after securing their purses Fortunately the negros did not get any money for the ladies had no change in the purses.
 Night Captain Dave Young and Ofn. cer Moshier hurried to the scene and found the negroes had fled over the mountain. They have good descrip- tions of the negroes, and both may be captured yet.
 One of the ladies told Captain Young the story of their fright. They just left their home on Crest street and turned into Park avenue When along about opposite the cottage on the old Barnes House property, two negroes approached from across the street. They paid little attention to them until they stepped on the walk just ahead of the ladies. Then both reach ed out and grabbed the bags the la dies were carrying. The negro that grabbed one of the bags found it d1ft1- cult to take from her wrist at a grab and reached out and slapped her in the face They then secured the bags and turned and fled through the open property formerly occupied by the Waverly hotel, crossed the small creek there, and took to the dark of the North mountain.

never did anybody any harm but
whose long life has been q general

never be understood-especially by
the youngsters. Perhaps Santa Claus

they did not carry the required

Shaw's Irish Nurse

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and
Bernard Shaw were among the speak
ers at a big meeting of Protestant
Home Rulers In London. Shaw, in q
speech which was mainly an arsu-
ment for a cessation of petty religious
strife In order that Ireland might pro-
coed with social reform, introduces a
story OF his childhood.
MY father" he said, was an Irish
man and my mother was an Irish wo-
man. Both were Protestants, the In
tensity OF whose faith would have
been described by a large number OF
their fellow countrymen as sanguinary
Professionalism. A lar/e part OF my
mothers duties to me were discharged
by an, Irish nurse. That nurse was a
Roman Catholic, and she never put
me to bed without sprinkling me with
holy water"
Referring to the laughter, which
greeted these remarks, Shaw added:
IL cannot imagine anything that Ii
less worthy to be laughed at or more
touching than this picture Of an Irish
Catholic woman sprinkling holy water
and you know what holy water was
to heron q little Protestant child
whose parents grossly underpaid her"
