Washington’s Bed Is Chloroformed and Robbed, ‘ Police Say, by Blacks, IDIANAPOLIS, May 23.—The Booker T. Washington-chambermaid incident has gained fresh interest. Retribution fas overtaken the Prof. Washington hotel maid of the sheet and pillowcase who refused to make the bed of the man. who obliterated the .vlor line in the tablecloth at the White House. This chambermaid, Mrs. Lulu Hadley, awakened from a dose of chloroform to discover that robbers had despolled her house of all its valuables, including 1,500 in cash. Since the day Mrs. Hadley declined to @hake a sheet over the bed of the Presi- dent of Tuskegee Institute she has been in receipt of anonymous letters warning her that her aifront to the distinguished fepresentative of the colored race would ost her dearly, For several nights dusky shadows tiit- ted through the yard of Mrs, Hadley's abode and the first thing the threatenea chambermaid knew she awakened In ‘the early morning to ask herself whether the gas was leaking or whether she had gone to bed leaving the cork out of ner perfuine bottle. Then she felt a moist cloth laid upon her face and with a sigh she sank back to sleep. When later he etruggled out of the deadening fumes whe found that intruders had practloaliy broken her up in housekeeping. The house had been rifled not only of intrinsic treasures, but pictires had ‘been taken from the wall and bric-a- ‘rac had been emashed to pieces.

In the Inst few days the Grand Cer- tral Station has been a eritable bower of vanishing beauties, a dissolving view of girls, each one prettier than the last. The waiting room 1s thronged hourly with smartly clad young women leaving the city on their annual pleasure trips. ‘The ferry-boats between New York and Jersey’ are packed with the departing summer girls, and the Long Island. Rall- road trains are freighted with them, The pretty girls are leaving New York —that Is, the more fortunate pretty girls who can put its grime and heat and subway noises behind them during the hot weather, But the supply of fem- inine loveliness reaching from the Hud- son to East River and the Battery to the Bronx ts so great that only when one sees the departing hosts does one realize what the city 1s losing. ‘As seen in railway stations and on piers this week the summer girl is gray as to frock and red as to hat, though she will probably discard her present startling headgear of poyptes or geraniums for some cooler-looking hat when the realiy warm weather artives. Her frocks are of almost as many grays as there are summer girls, but th favorite tints are -called “smoke,” “pigeon and “subway gray,’ the last named a glorified dust color. Theos gowns show the popularity of the lons, tight-titting coats with a skirt which came in this season, ‘The summer girl who does not wear one of these in fit- ting about the stations and piers has « Jong travelling coat of pongee or pin- check taffeta, the latter of the prevailing ray. ‘ ‘Already Fifth avenue and sections of the upper west side have begun to lool deserted, and the bright frocks and gaudy hats and parasols which made New York crowds seem like peripatetic Tuinbowe have been distributed through the neighboring States. The summer girl leaves the scene of her winter triumphs without regret. Har thoughts are all of the hearts she will break with her pink chiffon ball gown,’ the fortuncs that will bow before her white Hnen frock, the obstinate bach- clora who will succumb to the flaming witchery of her golfing garb. Judget by the pretty girls who left town this week, the summer girl is pre- pared to slay her tens of thousands, It wil be her record-breaking year ——T FELL THROUGH A SHAFT. River Pret of Mind Saved Him from Serioas Injury.
