TRENTON, N. J., Feb, %9.—The af- vent of a highwayman in skirts who “carries a gun" is the latest freak at South Trenton, Mra. Alfred W. Bethke, who runs a res- taurant at No, 701 South Clinton ave- nue, thought she heard some one out- nlde lifting up the cellar door. Visions of a thief seeking a vantage place from which to rob in the night rose before the woman, but she mustered up enough courage to push aside her ren- taurant curtains, and there directly be- fore her stood a “woman” levelling « revolver at her head. Mrs. Bethke fainted after one scream. Her fall caused four men customers to rush forward, and as they saw the sup- posed woman outside with a gun they Promptly forgot their humane errand And every one dropped on all fours and crawled under the tables. The “woman,” keeping the interior of the restaurant covered with the weapon, moved toward the door, ap- parently to enter. Just then the negro porter summoned courage enough to smash the big ofl lamp hanging from the celling. He used a long broom, and so effective was his in darkness, Under cover of the darkness every man made a break for the door, but the highwayman in skirts had escaped. By the size of his footprints in the Ught snow outside the highwayman wore No. 18 boots and must have been a man in masquerade. How he got away #0 quickly no one seema to know, but last night the porter of the place said that he belleved it must have been “a few minutes before any one summoned up Jenough cou to go out to look for ; that woman with a gun.” Mra, Bethke was revived and the po- ee summoned, but as yet there ts no f THE WORLD: MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 29, 1904. Vino! For Weak Lungs — Consum, Hon. | | Vinol will strengthen and cure weak-lungs. For years cod liver il has been recognized as the greatest known specific for all lung troubles and wasting diseases. fore the discovery of Vinol it was prescribed more by physicians than any other remedy known to the profession, but now Vinol accomplishes far greater results, and for this teason it is fast taking the place of the o/d fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions. In hundreds of cases where cod liver oil failed, Vinol has healed, strengthened and cured weak lungs. Nothing will so quickly drive away chronic cough, or heal sore, irritated lung tissues and build up the strencih as Vinol. Even in cases of actual consumption, Vinol will do great good by strengthening the patient and easing the lung sore- ness and cough. While we do not guarantee that ‘Vinol will always cure consumption, we publish herewith extracts from some of the letters received on this subject, which prove that while we may be conservative in our claims, Vinol has certainly cured these people. Tirs. J. G. Brown, of Anderson, Ind., writes: “Our daughter Mary was in consumption, and given up to die by our family physician. She was very weak and emaciated, but cod liver oil had any virtue —and we know it had in the treatment of throat and lung troubles — Vinol, of course, is of far greater value; for it not only contains all the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil, lclew to the “woman highwayman with ®& gun.” THOUGHT IT WAS ARLMIANN'S GHOST | Eight Women Servants in Rich- mond Country Club Flee in Terror at Sight of Man Clad in Dead Cashier’s Garments.
