PLUCKY “DOUGLASS ~ CLARKE.
Only 14 Years old, Yet 1 He Tried to Trap
Busrglars Without Waking His Father.
Dongless Clarke, 14 years old, the son
"of Arthur M. Clarke, of 111 Church lane,
Flatbush. did his best at 8 o'clock one
morning recently to capture two bur-
glare who had entered the dining room
of his father's house and were packing
| AWAY the silverware.
The burglars gained an entrance by ;
prying open a rear window in the
basement. ‘They had reached the din-
ing room on the floor above when the
noise startled the dog and he began
barking. The barking aroused Doug-
‘lass. He did not disturb the rost of the
© family, but with a Fghled lamp he
started down stairs. He canght a
glimpse of two men in the dining room
and b+ softly ascended the stairs again.
His mother and sister were awake by
‘thia time,
“There are thieves in the house,
manuna,” he said, “but don’t be fright-
ened. They won't come up here. I'll
just rum out and get a policeman in
_ thres minutes.” :
~~ As he went off on his errand his
father awoke. Mr. Clarke armed him-
self with his revolver and went down
stairs, but the burglars too had been
startled by the dog and had disap
peared. They took all the small silver-
ware with them. When Douglass re-
tamed. on schedule time with two
policemen all that remained to be done
‘was to give alist of the stolen property.

A TRADES SCHOOL.
AN EPISCOPAL CHURCH DOES PRAC-
TICAL WORK FOR BOYS.
Youths of St. George's College Instructed
fn Various Parsuits by Competent Mas-
ters. Carpenters, Printers, Plamburs
and Telegraphers Display Their Skill.
The trade school of St. George's Prot-
estant Episcopal parish, New. York, is
the successful evolution of an idea to
keep youngsters ont of mischief at night.
It oceurred to the rector of the church
and his assistants abont five years ago
that it wonld be a good plan to arrange
some form of entertainment that would
attract a certain class of boys in the
parish off tic streets evenings. Word
went forth that boys would be wel-
cemed to the Memorial Building from
seven to nine o'clock, and there in the
basement the clergymen and others,
who volunfesred their services, gath-
ered them f{ zothey and told them sto-
ries, and read to them, and diverted
them in other w a amusing and
instructive. : :
From this arose the Boys’ Club of St.
George's. The lads took readily enough
to tha amnsement offered, and in their
enthusiasm often (ried to help matters
along by getting np diversions on their
own acconiit, and it was not nnusual for
the person reading or story telling tobe
interrupted by the uproar of impromptu.
wrestling 1:atches suddenly entered |
apon by the more spirited lads.
Indeed, th on v. Theodore Sedgwick,
‘recently, referring to the early days of
the club, sii ne never put a picture on
the walls but iehow or other it was
smashed before tha end of a week, while
he rantost: pleasure of the boys seemed |
to be to pail down the chandelier so the
pas would have to be tarnel off, the
darkness givin a chance for rough and |
tumble spor. But the growing good
influences of the club were apparent de- |
‘spite these frolies, and some of the
. wealthy men of the parish decided to
enlarge its field of usefulness.

THE LAW OF SELF-DIFENSE.
A Man Not Obliged te Retreat When About
to Be Attacked on His Own Premises.
Supreme Court of the United States
previonz to that of adjournment was
that of the appeal of Babe Beard from |
the judgment of conviction and sentence
to eight years imprisonment for man-
slavighter in Judea Parker's court for
the Western District of Arkansas. The
opinian of the Supreme Court rev ersing
the judgrient below was announced by
Mr. Justices Harlan, who has filed the
views of the contt in fall with the clerk.
They are important in that they set forth
the law of self-defense.
Beard had three brothers-in-law, young
men, who came to his Bouse in his ab
sence with the expressed determination
of driving away a cow, ownership of
which was claimed by one of them and
also by Beard, after the latter had
warned them not to come. While they
were disputing with Mrs. Beard her
‘husband returned home. One of the
brothers, Will. Jones, advanced upon
Beard, who had a gun im his hands, and
made a motion as if to draw a revolver
from his pocket, which he had grasped
in his hand. Beard straek him over the
head. inflicting a wound from which he
died. On. the trial Jolge Parker, in-
structed the jury in regard to the law of
splf-defenss. to the effact that Beird was
compelled by that law to avoid danger
at Jones’ hands by getting onl of the
way if he could, and tha$ the only place
where he need not'retreat further wae
his dwelling house. :
This charge, Justice Harlan says, was
objectionable in point of mw on several:

Beard was-in the lawful parsnit of his
business—tiat is. doing what he had a
right to do ny. after pataerninge home
in the afternoon, he went from his
dwelling honse to a part of Lis premises
near the orchard fence, just oniside of
which his wife and the Jones brothers
were engaged in a dispwbe—ine former
endeavoring to prevent the cow from
being taken away, the latter trying to
drive it off the premises. Was: he not
doing what he had the legal right to do,
when, keeping within his own premises
. and pear his dwelling, he joined his wife;
who was in dispute with others, one of
, whom, as he had been informed. had al-
| ready threatened to take the cow away
Lor kill him? We have no hesitation in
| answering tliis question tn the siirmae
tive.
| “In our opinion the court below erred
“in holding that the accused, while on his
premises, outside of his dwelling house,
was under a legal duty to get out of the
way, if ha could, of his assailant, who,
according to one view of the evidence,
had threatened to kill the defendant, and
in execution of that purpose had armed
hims#if with a deadly weapon. with that
weapon concealed upon his person went
to the defendant's premises, despite the
warning of the latter to keep away, and
by word and aet indicated bis purpose to
attack the accused. The defendant was
where he had the right to be when the
deceased ad vanced upon him in a threat
ening manner and with a deadly weapon; |
and if the accused did wot provoke the
assavit and had at the time reasonable
grounds to believe and in good faith be-
Tleved that the decedsed intended to take
his life or to do him great bodily harm,
he was not obliged to retreat, nor to
! consider whether he could safely retreat,
but was entitled to stand his ground and
‘meet any attack made upon him with a
deadly weapon in such way and with
such force as, under ail the circam-
stances, he at the momeat honestly be-
lieved, and had reasonable grounds to
believe, was necessary to save is own
life or to protect himself from great
bodily injury.

the bottom. This mighty ship of 10,231
tons displacement, the largest Wir ves-

a veritable colossus of the sea, which
cost the Government millions of dollars
and was capposed to be impregnable, is
now known to be at the mercy of new-

As a result of these tests important
modifications will be made in the arma-

the armor men have got the worst of it.
There bas long been pending in the Navy
Department a contest between the Con-

Bureau regarding the main batteries of
the two new baitle-ships.
The Construction Burean is conposed
of the ~hisfs of the various naval bo.
resus, and hitherto they have favored 12-

has been decidadly in favor of 13-inch
guns. An inch is a small matter for two
dignified bodies of men of this kind to
quarrel about, bat it means that in the
present cuse the oniy way to settle the
matter was by a practical tost of armor

GIANT ICEBERGS AT SEA
They Are Made Plcturesqe by the De-
structive Action of Ocean Currents.
‘Otto Nielsen, the Westernland’s chief
officer, as hearty an old salt as eve trod
a quarter deck, declares that he never
saw larger or finer bergs during the
whole course of his experience than up-
on his last trip to New York.
“Wa were approaching the ice circle
off Newfoundland,” he said. “‘Puesing
steamers had signalled us that lots of
icebergs were drifting about, and we
kept a sharp lookout. The day was fog-
gy. and smashing into an iceberg in the
dark is no joke, let me tell you.
“Fina\ly the fog lifted, and the sun
shone out bright and clear, As we were
speading along I' noticed a white speck
off tho starboard bow in the San.
. "There she is!" [ exclaimed.
* ‘What! queried a timid passenger;
‘do yon call that little speck an ice-
berg?
“ “That's just what it is,’ said, ‘and
it's fully twenty miles away. It will be
big erough when we get near enongh to
take it all in.’
“We approached the berg sanklly. It
appeared to grow right out from the
sea. What a sight it was’ It had the
‘shape of a pyramid 100 feet high and 800
