People living on I street southwest be- tween 3d and 4% streets were greatly ex- cited last night between 10 and 11 o'clock when a dastardly attempt at assault was made oa Mrs. Alice Thonpson, the wife of a well known citizen. Robert Jones, a strong man, who was barefooted and with- out a coat, committed the crime and then made an effort to escape. But Policeman Harrover arrested him, and when tried in the Police Court this morning Judge Kim- ! ball sentenced him on a charge of va- grancy to ninety days on the farm, when he might have given him six months. Later in the day a charge of assault was filed against him. This was called for trial in Judge Miller's court, but in view of what had happened in Judge Kimball's court, Judge Miller had some doubt about iis legal right ‘to hold him, as he thought it inight resolve itself into a second punish- ment for one offense. He would not dis- Pose of the questicn, however, because he considered the offense a very’ serious one and one which could net be properiy pun- ished under the vagrancy law. The Assault. Mrs. Thompson was seated on the porch in front of her house last night, enjoying the bright moonlight and cool air, and was waiting for her husband to return home from work: It was twenty minutes after 10 o'clock, and“in five minutes’ time her husband would be there. The colored man came along, and almost stopped when he zot in front of the house. Mrs. Thompson was the only one in sight, and because of the lateness of the hour Jones thought there was no one about to see him. But, to make certain of this, it is thought he walked down the street, and being satistied that there was no cne about to apprehend him, he returned and entered the front yard of the Thompson house. “Give me a piece of bread,” he said, In a commanding tone of voice. “Give you what?” inquired Mrs. Thomp- son. But before there was even time for an answer the man grabbed at Mrs. Thomp- throat with both hands, but she drew back far enough to prevent his getting a Sood hold on her, and because of this fact she was able to make a faint outcry, for she was so thoroughly frightened and weakened that she was unable to make a physical resistarce. Fortunately, Mr. John Davis, who lives on the opposite side of the street, was aiso enjoying the bright moonlight night in front of his door, and had watched the cclored man’s movements. The instant he saw the man’s hands near Mrs. Thomp- scn’s throat he made a rush for her as- sailant, at the same time making a loud outcry to attract others and make the men’s capture more certain. His cries attractd Policeman Harrover, as well as a number of citizens, and Jones was cap- tured after a short but exciting pursuit. There was no question about his identity, ror was there any doubt as to what he had actually done. His statement that he lived in Sullivan's alley with mother and worked for a man named Golden on an ice wagon. After being sei d to the farm for soner was taken to Judge already stated, and ¢' a hearing. Judge Mille Miller had s Remarks, Judge no doubt about the prisoner’s guilt of the charge of simple a ult, and he thought the man’s inten- tions were probably even more serious. “If a woman can’t sit in front of her own house in security,” “it is an rdingly serio The que: of former c 1, and Mr. Mullown: - prosecutor, said he did not undersiand how the man have becn held as a suspicious ch ter on the proof, as he was arly guilty of assault, Judge Miller, commenting on the ¢ said there is a difference between a sus picious character and suspicion of an of- fense. A man supposed to have committed a particular crime is not necessarily a sus picious chcracter, and should be charged with fhe specific offense. Jones was then questioned, and he ad- mitted that he went to the house and ask- ed for bread. But when Judge Miller ques- tioned him he admitted that he was not in need of bread, and said he had had his supper earlier in the evening. statement convinced the court that visit there was not for bread, and if he could see his way clear to do so he will certainly give him the pvnishment his of- fense deserves. The case was continued until Monday, in order that the court may look further into the question of law. _— REPARATION DEMANDED. Anked of Spain in Delgndo's Case. Official confirmation has been made at the State Department of a statement made in The Star more than two weeks ago that Minister Taylor at Madrid has been in- structed to make strong representations to the Spanish government fo. reparation for indignitles to Dr. Jose Delgado and other naturalized American citizens in Cuba. Minister Taylor, who was in Paris at last accounts, has been instructed to return to his post for the better consideration of dip- lomatic negotiations pending between the two countries. It is understood that the purpose of the administration in the case of Delgado and others is not so much to press a pecuniary claim at a time when Spain ts embarrassed as it is to insist on the right of full protection to the persons of Ameri- can citizens in Cuba. Mr. Olney's insiruc tions were sent before mecting Dr. Delgaco and his father, who are now in the city, but their presence here affords an opportunity to secure such full detail of the indignity as may become desirable when Mr. Taylor acts on his return to Madrid. Under the rules of the department, a claim for pecuniary damages must state a fixed sum, with the circumstances of the claim. It is believed, however, that in the Delgado case the pecuniary claim for dam- age lo the Delgado plantation, etc., will be subordinated to the personal indignity in- volved, which is construed as serious main- ly through its offense to American citize ship. After that is settled, the pecuniary loss of the Delgados doubtiess will be the subject of a claim for indemnity. See Hawthorne Could Work. Rose Hawthorne Lathrop in Cambridge Magazine. Hawthorne could work with his hands, too. He hoed many a vegetable garden, planted sunflowers, of which he was a thor- ough admirer, cut bean poles cheerily and eat his personally-raised fresh vegetables with the best of us. It would be hard to say how many splendid cats he had appro-+ priately named (Beelzebub and Blot need no better description than these titles) and stroked unflaggingly. He did not fear io help his wife, in their early married life, by doing the housework when she was ‘not strong enough. Moreover, he did not do it with surly innuendoes and sudden snarlings, nor did he abruptly stop and sit down to niggardly reproach. He washed dishes and cleaned knives and cooked like a prince of fairy-tale reliability and gentleness. No doubt he swore—but no imp of the kitchen could make him swear aloud. This is the princely nature of the worker who is a true man.

In its early days it was occupied by the famous actress when Charles was either at Kew or Hampton Court, from which royal palaces he could easily enough ride over to visit her “sauciness.” The bil- Nard room was destroyed, but the main portion of the house, and the most_his- tcrically interesting, was not much affect- ed.
