CHONED BURGLAR I HARD BATTLE Herman Kopke, a Brooklyn Grocer, Grabbed Thief Whom He Found in House and Both Tumbled Downstairs. THIEF TRIED T OSHOOT HIM. Btruggle Continued Until the Bur- glar Was Overcome—He Carried a Cane Wh ch Was Provided with Small Electric Light. Herman Kopke, a grocer, of No, 109 Somers street, Brooklyn, had a desperate battle early to-day with a very up-to- date ‘burglar, whom he finally choked into submission and turned over to the , police, Shortly after midnight Kopke heard a noise in an adjoining room and got up to Investigate. He tip-toed into the half and through the door of the adjoining room and saw a man golng through his trousers. “What aro you doing?” shouted the grocer. The man turned upon him and Gashed a bright and dazzling light in his eyes. The grocer was dazed for a moment. The invader made a break for the stairway. He had taken only a few steps when Kopke, who is almost a giant in height, was upon him. Seizing him around the waist, Kopke threw the burglar to the floor. A violent scut- fle followed. oBth men tumbled down- stairs, fighting and struggling as they bumped from step to step. When they reached the bottom of the stairs the big grocer grabbed the burglar's right hand as he was reaching for a revolver Then he clasped the burglar’s throat and strangled him until his struggles ceased. By that time the noise of the struggle had attracted the attention of all the tenants !n the house and people In the street, who rushed to the grocer’s as- sistance. In a few minutes the burglar was turned over to Policeman Master- fon, who took him go the station-house. It was then found that the man, who was young and good-looking, was hand- somely dressed and carried a cane which was a novel burglar’s tool. The head of the cane concealed a small electric Nght. The batteries which tur- njshed the light were in the hollow of the cane. When a little, almost invis- ible, button was touched near the head of the cane a light from six to eight eandle-power was made, There was also found in the pockets of the burglar $38, which Kopke iden- tifled. When arraigned in the Gates Avenue Court to-day the man described himself as Frank Smith, twenty-nine years old, of No.9 Stone street. Brooklyn, where: he had lived for four days. He came from Bridgeport. He was held for the Grand Jury. WOMAN DOCTOR SHOOTS BURGLAR Grapples with Him and,Although Struck in the Face, Frees Herself and Fires Five Shots at Fleeing Marauder. BLOOD SPATTERS ON DOOR. Dr. Caroline 8. Marsh, of No. 78 Liv- imtgston avenue, New Brunswick, N. J., was attacked this morning by a burglar whom she found in her room, she sprang from bed, seized her revolver and commanded the man to surrender. Fnstead he grappled with her and tried to seize the revolver. Miss Marsh is’ a wiry athletic woman and her strength and grit were equal to the burglars. Breaking away, he struck her in the face and darted downstairs. She pur- sued, firing all five shots from her re- volver. Three went wild, but it is sup- posed two hit, for the panels of the door were spattered with blood and there were blood stains on the steps. A woman ‘living on the first floor, hearing the shots, ran to a neighbor's house, but Miss Marsh coolly called for the police and was dressing herself when the police arrived.

How « Diner-Out with Three Cents Capital © a Fare Home, ‘The swellest “newsboy" who ever yelled ‘extree” in New York called his wares at the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge early this morning. With silk- ned overcoat and a diamond scarfpin, this elderly man took his position at the bridge. A pair of gold-rimmed specta- cles added dignity to his appearance, ‘rhe stranger attracted the attention of a policeman. He sald he had been out to dinner with friends and after starting for home found that he had only three cents. The pawnshops were gloged, so he bought: three cents worth of eveninig papers and started to earn his way across the bridge. ‘The policeman offered him a nickel, but it was refused. Finally a conduc: tor saw. two clears protruding from the “newsboy's'” pocket and offered" him five cenis for one of them.

Coffee was first discovered in the sixth century by an Arablan shep- herd, who, having observed the goats of his fiock skip about and display other signs of intoxication after eat- ing the coffee berry, concluded to try its effects on himself, and thus dis- covered its exhilarating property. This discovery proved the poor shepherd's undoing, for he indiscrim- inately used large quantities green for its exhilarating effect, and soon died, poisoned by its use, In the sixteenth century it was in- troduced into France, and was used so strong and excessively, particu- larly by the Parisians, that it was found to injure alike the complexion and digestion. This discovery pre- vented its general Introduction into other European countries for the next century. Since that period {ts growth has gradually spread through the civil- ized world, despite the fact that pain and destruction follow its path, dys- pepsia having been hardly known before its introduction, It is a “nerve stimulant” and narcotic pol- son, and though in no sense a food, is used for its stimulating principle, Caffeine, which excites the nerves unnaturally and wastes the reserve force of the body. Coffee drives the nerves for a time, stimulating them beyond their natural function and using up all their reserve force. After the first effects are past comes breaking down of the nerve centres and general nervous derangement. Following this In many but not all cases is a long train of misery, among which the principal symptoms are dryness in mouth and throat, headache, biliousness, pains in stom- ach or abdomen, pain in eyes and head, loss of appetite, dyspepsla and so on through a long, long list; but the one cause of all the different symptoms fs the same, The nerves have been broken down; their reserve force is gone. Many of the symptoms of poisoning are—extreme nervousness, restless- ness, anguish of mind and heart, ex- cessive relaxation of body and brain, gloominess, inability to think cor- rectly. sleeplessness at night, drows!- ness in the morning, &c. * A lady from Sebastopol, Cal.. writes: “I was a sick and poisoned woman when T began to use Postum Food Coffee in place of coffee, and after two years’ steady use I find that Postum soothes the nerves and /builds them up, storing reserve force and strength for time of need, en- abling one to sleep well, awake re- freshest and bright for each day's task; tones up the stomach and also builds up a good, strong brain, ready far any mental strain or toll.” Name ae by Postum Co., Battle Creek, “HURT W AUNT Maxwell Stevenson, of Hempstead, 1. 1., | | With boldness the young woman put)? however, and made light of the SSeASHE| names of the most eloquent orators in| ‘Archbishon Farley will preside at the! it digests easily, builds and | ton SHE ESCAPED THE KNIFE.
