Magazines, Ete.
What's 1x MeCrvne's?—The August fiction
number of MeClure's is an excellent illustration
of the development which has taken place in this
magazine during the past year. The fiction num-
ber of 19% was remarkably good. The fiction
number of 1907 shows a marked growth in the
distinetive quality of its stories, the power and
authoritative value of its articles, and the general
broadening and deepening of its editorial policy.
The Orchard Confession, which appears in its
second instalment, increases in interest, not only
as a remarkable contribution to the literature of
criminology, but as a human document which
throws light upon one of the most intricate
economic situations which has ever existed in
this country. Truman Bartlett, the American
sculptor, contributes a strikingly illuminating
study of Lincoln's physiognomy. The seventh
article of the Christian Science series takes up
the most interesting aspect of the whole mes.

brought by the State of Massachusetts against

TRIED TO WRECK TRAIN
Wreckers Placed Obstruction in Front
of Pennsylvania Flyer.
Belvidere, N. J., July 30.—Detectives
for the Pennsylvania railroad and the
local authorities are making an inves-
tigation into an attempt to wreck a
Pennsylvania flyer near Harmony by
some unknown person or persoms. An
obstruction was put on the tracks,
composed of a number of railroad ties
placed across the rails.
Engineer Richard, in charge of the
train, did not see the obstruction until
he was close upon it, and then the lo
comotive struck it. The cowcatcher
and the cylinder of the locomotive
were broken, but the train was not
derailed. None of the passengers
were injured.

HOB TRIED TO LYNCH SUSPECT
Berlin, July 27.—A series of cold-
blooded crimes, singularly resemb
the “Jack the Ripper” murders,
for the fact that instead of the
victims were little girls, followed one
another with I celerity al-
most in the center of the city and
aroused the most intense excitement
and indignation. Within a short space
of time the assassin successively en-
ticed three girl babies, the oldest only
6 years old. into doorways of houses
and stabbed them several times in
| the abdomen with a sharp instrument.
As a result, one of the children Is dead,
another is dying and the third is dan-
gercusly wounded.
The first knowledge that the crimes
had been committed came when an oc-
cupant of the house at the corner of
Ryke and Belforter streets found the
body of Margaritha Prawitz, aged 4,
| lying in the doorway, bathed in blood,
| the bowels protruding and the lower
part of the body horribly gashed. This | *
was immediately reported to the po
lice, who were about to proceed to in-
vestigate the case, when reports came
that Bertha Lenst, aged 3 years, and
Elly Knispel, 5 years old, had been
found similarly outraged, but still|d
alive, in Prenzlauer Allee and Hensers-
dorfer street, respectively. The inhab-
itants of the neighborhood became in-
tensely excited. Mothers sought their
children in the street and made them
return indoors in fear that they might
meet a similar fate. Crowds gathered
about the police station, shouting ven
geance against the murderer.
Shortly after the crimes were com:
mitted a slip of paper, with a death
head sketched on it, was found on a
public site in the square near the
| scene. On it was scribbled in a ram-
bling hand:
“Away, away; in five minutes there
will be a corpse. There is a child mur-
derer in the neighborhood. Deliver this
pote to the police. I have killed chil
dren in Belforter, Prentslauer and
Hensersdorfer streets.”
The note was attached to the seat
by means of a sharp single scissors
blade, and it is assumed that the
crimes were committed with the other
half of the instrument,
“Ripper” Still at Work.
Berlin, July 30. — Another “ripper”
outrage has caused a wave of nervous
fear and dread in that city. A woman
| on opening the door of a flat surprised
Walter Osman, wife and family came up | a man in the act of striking down an
11-year-old girl. The woman scream-
ed and the man ran and succeeded in
getting away.
This occurred in the neighborhood
of the previous outrages. The resi-
dents of this section are in such a
state of excitement that they fell up-
on and beat fearfully a harmless man,
because he had offered a child a plece
of candy.
Although the entire police force has
been constantly on duty in the hope
of apprehending the “ripper,” he has
thus far evaded capture.
MANIAC RAN AMUCK
Delegate to Iron Molders’ Union Pro-
nounced Insane. .
Philadelphia, July 29.—John Baur-
taugh, of St. Louis, a delegate to the
convention of the Iron Molders’ Union
of America, which is in convention
here, was pronounced demented by a
police surgeon and sent to tha Phila-
delphia hospital.
Baurtaugh, who was stopping at a
Chestnut street hosteiry, went on a
rampage. He attempted to shoot two
men who tried to quiet him. He final-
ly escaped and, running downtown into
the wholesale district, got into the
storerooms of warehousing company.
He emptied barrels of sugar from the
third-story windows into the street
and threw boxes of canned goods at
people passing by. After his capture
the Molders’ Union arranged to reim-
burse the warehousing company for
its loss.
100 Years Old, He Harvests His Hay.
Middletown Springs, Vt, July 30.—
Alpheus Haynes celebrated his 100th
birthday by working in his hay field.
He was escorted to the field by a brass
band, and his neighbors helped him
clean up his harvest. In the evening
there were some speeches, and the
aged man received a gold-headed cane
as a present from his friends. He is
in good health and hopes to live many
years. He has lived for 75 years on
one farm and cultivated it every sea-
son.

| LYNCHING IN MARYLAND
Negro Murderer Beaten and Kicked t@
Death By Mob.
Crisfield, Md., July 29.—James Reed,
| colored, was lynched here. Little more
| than a dozen hours before he had
| crept up behind John H. Daugherty, a
policeman, and fired a bullet into the
| latter's brain. Daugherty died in
stantly.
Daugherty arrested on a warrant a
| megro named Hillery Jones, a com-
| panion of Reed's, and was taking him
| to jail. Reed borrowed a revolver
| and, catching up with his friend and
| the officer, fired the fatal shot into
the back of his victim's head. The two
negroes fled, Reed taking possession
| 9% a bicycle he found nearby. Pursued
| and fired upon, he soon abandoned the
wheel and took to a sailboat, in which
he headed for Tangier sound, with the
hope, it is presumed, of reaching Vir-
ginia. He was becalmed in the soupd,
however, and pursuers, learning that
he was afloat, followed him in power
boats. One of these, on which were
Captain John Shelton and a number
of armed men, overhauled Reed. The
negro, seeing Captain Shelton’s ves
sel approach, jumped overboard and
endeavored to escape by swimming,
but was finally captured. He at first
denied his identity, but afterward
made a full confession and ackuowl-
edged that he was not under the in-
uence of liquor when he killed Por
ceman Daugherty.
As the boat bearing the negro ap-
proached the wharf here a crowd
gathered quickly. There were angry
exclamations, and some cne struck
Reed a blow with his fist that knocked
the negro senseless. Immediately those
fn the crowd pounced upon the pros
trate man and beat and kicked him to
death. A rope was tied to the body
and it was then dragged to the scene
of the shooting and in a moment was
dangling from a telegraph pole. There
it remained, viewed by hundreds of
people, many of whom drove in from
miles outside of town when the fact
of the lynching became known.
MOWER CUT OFF HAND
Farmer Cutting Hay Ran Over Hie
Little Daughter.
Washington, N. J., July 27.—A little
3-yearcld gir! had a remarkable es-
cape from death when a mower which
her father was driving ran over her
and the sharp knives cut off her hand
at the wrist. The child owes her life
to the fact that she was lying flat on
the ground when the knives of the
mower, which was geared high, passed
over her, She would not have lost her
hand had she not raised it in the air
just as the reaper reached her.
George Hummer had been unable to
get farmhands to help him in harvest.
ing his crop, and his wife, taking thelr
two little children, went into the field
to help her husband. One of the chil
dren, 3 years old, lay down on the
ground and was soon asleep. Her
father, driving the mower, not know-
ing that she was in his path, did not
see her until it was too late.
BLACK FLY PEST DEADLY
Six Canadian Campers Die From Blood
Poisoning Following Bites.
Eagt Aurora, N. Y., July 27. — A
startling tale of fatalities has reached
here through John Griffin, who has
just returned from the Algonquin Park
| locality of Canada. Mr. Griffin went to
| the woods in the Dominion on a hunt-
ing and fishing trip about a week ago.
He expected to be gone for several
weeks, but the faact that six deaths
resulted from blood poisoning follow-
ing stings of black files near his camp
drove the veteran home.
Mr. Grifin has hunted in the region
of Algonquin Park for many years, and
he pronounces the pests the most nu-
merous and deadly he has ever seen.
SMOTHERED IN GRAIN BIN

South Windsor, Conn., July 30.—Etta
