COMPANION FALLS IN FAINT
Attacked by Robber in Full View or
Hundreds, Mrs. Mize -Resists
and Meets Death Mur
derer Makes Escape.
CHICAGO. Aug. 22. Mrs. S. E. Mize,
of New York City, was murdered to
night by a robber, while talcing- an eve
ning walk in One ot the fashionable resi
dent districts on the South Side. For the
greater part- of the Summor. Mrs. Mize
has been a guest at the Del Prado Hotel,
which fronts on the Midway Plalsance.
Tonight, in company with Mrs. R. F.
"Wilson, of Ia Cruces, Mexico, also a
guest at the hotel, she went out for a
short "walk.
They had reached the corner of Fifty
ninth street and Washington avenue, two
squares from the hotel, when they were
confronted by a man, who demanded their
money and valuables. All along Fifty
ninth street and on Washington avenue
people were sitting upon verandas and in
the front yards of their residences, and
Mrs. Mize. evidently expecting help from
some of them, vigorously attacked the
robber, at the same time calling loudly
for help. Mrs. Wilson turned and ran
fcack toward the hotel.
Mrs. Mize was able to utter two cries
for aid when the robber shot her through
the heart, killing her instantly. Mrs.
Vjlson. who was looking back at the
time, fell in a faint and, when the resi
dents of the .neighborhood came run
ning in" response to the calls of Mrs.
Mize, they found both women lying upon
the sidewalk. Mrs. Wilson, still unconscious-,
was taken to the Del Prado Hotel,
-while the body of Mrs. Mize was carried
by the police to an undertaking estab
lishment near at hand.
The murdecer. after shooting Mrs. Mize,
fled into an alley between Fifty-eighth
and Fifty-ninth streets and disappeared in
the darkness. He was seen by nobody ex
cept Mrs. Mize, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs.
Martha Schanlon, a guest of the hotel,
who. hearing the shot, looked nastily out
of the window and saw the man running
into the alley. She was not able to de
scribe him and Mrs. Wilson was so ut
terly .prostrated1 that .she could' give no
details to the police.
A swarm of detectives and uniformed
policemen was on the ground within a
few -minutes, but for the time being at
least the murderer made good his es
cape without leaving a tangible clue.
MAKING A'' JAP GARDEN
Mature, Taste of Artist, Personality
of Owner Considered.
Adachl Kinnosuke in County Calendar.
Many a wise man from abroad has said
of the pictorial artists, as well as of the
masters of landscape gardening in Nippon,
that the one master to whom they go for
lessons and guidance Is Nature. They are
wrong as critics in general, and the im
ported ones in particular are :pt to be.
The landscape gardener in Nippon, like
all our artists,- serves two masters Nature-
and his own personality. With us the
mere copy of Natude Is little better than
a caricature of a good and great thing;
natural scenery should he seen and ap
preciated in its original state as the gods
had left Jt on the canvas of their own
choosing, on the same ground that you
should never see a counterfeit of a mas
terpiece of painting.
Nature plus the man is the beginning of
art in Nippon. Sometimes the landscape
gardener in Nippon Is called upon to
serve three masters. Added to the fidelity
of Nature and the play of his individual
taste, he Is called upon to take serious
thought unto the personality of the owner
of the garden. And perhaps that Is the
reason why the art of landscape garden
ing Is considered, with us. as one of the
most difficult of fine arts. A man's garden,
like his dress and his library, must first
be a mirror of his personality.
The tale it would tell when the friends
of its master came to see It must be about
the master himself It must tell this story
not only in the terms of art, but so plainly,
too. that the guest, looking at the garde
and pleased with the beauty thereof,
would only see in what pleasing torms Its
author has interpreted Its master's per
sonality through all. The chlof thing
which a good garden ought to show t
the eyes of men ought to be the man and
not the gardon Itself.
The "Good Old Times."
Henry Wattorson in The Louisville Cou
rier Journal.
I take no stock in the lamentation of
the sentiments about what they call "the
good old times." There is a deal of stuff
and nonsense trolled off on this text.
Every man over 50 who is not precisely
a boor is described as "a gentleman of
the old school." We need but turn to
the English satirists- from Fielding to 1
Thackeray to learn that all the essen-
tlal Ingredients of "Vanity Fair" had
their existence 100 or 200 yoars ago. In '
the proportion that there were more na- j
ture and coarser fiber there were live
lier doings. In proportion that there
wore fewer dramatis personac upon the
stage there was better play for the in-
dividual. I confess that I like a little
blood In mine. Sincerity even In wick-
edness has a flavor quite Its own. But i
he who falls to see the world as It is I
and refuses to take It as he finds It, falls
inevitably betwixt the three-legged ctool
of a very false philosophy and the high
backed chair of a very ill-judged per
versity, with consequences sometimes
serious and always humiliating.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22. Tho steamer
Athos, 17 days late, with eight passen
gers and a cargo ot rotten bananas, and
the bones of half-eaten sharks on board
to Indicate the perils of her voyage, ar
rived off Scotland lightship last night.
On July SI. the Donald Steamship Com
pany's steamer Athos left Port Antonio,
Jamaica, for New York, a six days voy
age, with provisions In plenty for this
short period. Three hours out of port an
eccentric-rod on the engine nroke and
from that hour until last Sunday, pro
ceeding sometimes only an hour a day
under her own steam., the Athos drifted
at the mercy of storms, in constant dan
ger of famine, once without drinking
water and receiving supplies from time to
time off passing vessels until, August 30,
the disabled steamer gave up and signaled
the stcamor Altai for a tow. This steam
er brought the Athos to New York. The
trouble was in the engine all the time.
On August 9, some sharks were caught
to cat, but the meat made ill the persons
who ate of it, and the flsh were thrown
into the sea. On August 10. the last tank
of water was opened and was found to
be tainted with the Juice of rotting ba
nanas. Dolphins Satisfy Hunger.
Some dolphins were caught two dayB
later, and on August 13, the incipient fam
ine was further relieved by the steamer
Montevideo, which supplied provisions.
For nearly a week, between August 10
and August 17, the engine's shaft was
usoless, and not only was the steamer
forced to drift about while repairs were
under way, but for two days of this period
a great storm and high seas broke over
the helpless steamship. The log, mean

caught. Finally on August IS, tho coup

accept the offer of a tow. This did not

From Planters Against Tariff
American Vuelta Tobacco.
Houston Post Bureau.

Washlncton. March SO.
A delegation of Cuban Planters waited on the
president today to secure bis aid toward a pro
hibitive duty on Cuban Vuelta sprouts, now-imported
into the United States and raised in
Texas. Into a tariff tobaccoleaf. This delegation
represents a newly formed organization, calling
itself the Tobacco Growers' Association, with
headquarters at Havana. The Cubans pointed
out the inroads that American Vuelta tobacco is
already making In their exports, especially with
the duty against them. They showed hows

ATTITUDE TOWARD AGE
Deference Qncc Shown to Older
People Is Disappearing.
Philadelphia Record.
A distinguished mark of the modern
attitude has been a "decline in super
annuation." It Is not that people live
longer on the average than they once
did a disputed point of vital statis
tics but that they live longer during
a normal Hfo In maintaining activity
of Interest up to the last. This is evi
dent, despite an occasional, and per
haps a growing tendency to Impose an
ago limit of 40 In more strenuous phy
sical service where, under pressure of
competition, full bodily vigor Is re
quired for efficiency. In social life,
notably, the peculiar badges and dis
tinctions of age are increasingly dis
carded. The passing of a once familiar typo
of grandmother, at least to the oldest
of us. Is an illustration a lovely old
lady In a black silk grown, wearing a
cap with strings and a neckerchief, the
Inevitable book or workbag in her lap.
conversation with her being supposed
to be concerned principally with "what
she did when she was a glrL" It 13
this type a social chronicler pictures
for us in an account of a reception
given in New York about 60 years ago
to the "venerable"' widow of Chancel
lor Kent, a vigorous and alert woman
of 70, who "sat In a chair of state in
one. corner of the drawing-room all the
evening. The guests, including many
notables of the day, paid their respects
to her, exchanged a few words, and
then withdrew." This conformed to
what was then the ritual of life, to
pay ceremonial deference to age, ac
cording to an arbitrary distinction of
birthdays.
This change in social attitude toward
age truly reflects, as is widely recog
nized, the changed actual attitude, the
-attitude of encouragement to continued
activity in business, professional or
political effort, regardless of conven
tional limit. That such a change con
tributes greatly to the promotion of
individual happiness In the aggregate,
however it may handicap race efficien
cy In an industrial age, is hardly opon
to question.
Umbrella Thieves.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
A Massachusetts Judge has officially de
cided that an umbrella is property and
fined a man 510 for appropriating to his
own uso one belonging to another person.
Unless this opinion be reversed by a
higher court, its effect may be salutary in
checking an abuse which has grown
chronic of late years and causes much In
convenience. In addition to a certain e-
cunlary loss. The appropriation of other
people s umbrellas has become so common
that It has ceased to bo a joke. The tak
ing of them seems to be regarded as le
gitimate as picking up a lost Din. and the
public conscience has become so demoral
ized that the name of an owner with his
address, attached to an umbrella, is no
safeguard to it If left In a public place, or
against appropriation by persons who
would be shocked to be thought to be
capable of stealing any other species of
property. There is scarce an individual
who has not at some time been a sufferer
from, this kind of petit larceny, and if
trutn oe Known it would be quite as diffi
cult to find one who has not retaliated
after the same fashion. In this way thero
has been something of an equalization or
evening up of losses. But the decision of
the Boston Judge, backed up with a fine
of 510. may tend to quicken the public
conscience and bring about a respect even
for ones property right In an umbrella.
such as prevailed In England under the
reign of Alfred the Great, when It is said
a gold ornament could be hung on a bust
by the highway without danger of being
appropriated.

ilNI IN PORT
Comes Laden With a Valuable
Cargo.
NEW CAPTAIN IN CHARGE
Big Ijiner Makes Fast Time From
Hongkong In and May Drydock
Here Flour Tariff to the
Orient Reduced.
The big Portland and Asiatic liner.
Numantia, arrived In at 7:30 last night
direct from Hongkong. She had fine
weather nearly all the way and made
the trip in excellent time. Sixteen days
and 17 hours was the exact time across
the Pacific
She brings a very valuable cargo of
tea, matting and silk, in all about 4000
tons, 3600 of which is overland freight:
the rest for Portland and vicinity.
The Numantia will not go out on her
regular time this trip, but will sail a
few days before the next regular liner,
about September 15. Tho Numantia Is
held over for the reasons: There is no
rush of freight Just at this time, while
in the middle of September there will
be immense shipments of flour, wheat
and barley to the Orient. A great
amount of this has been carried in
ships Independent of the regular lines,
the rates being lower on the indepen
dent ships, but the regular lines have
reduced the rate from $5 per ton to $4
per ton. and It Is expected this will
bring them all the freight they can
carry.
It is rumored that the Numantia will
be dry-docked here during her lay-over
period. Negotiations to that effect hav
ing been going on for some time. The
-Numantia comes with a new captain, H.
Feldtman, who succeeds Captain Bra
mer. Captain Feldtman was formerly
captain of the C. Ferd Laelsy, one of
the largest steamers of the Hamburg
American line plying between Hamburg
and Oriental ports.
Pilot Archie Pease had some trouble
in making a landing with the Numan
tia on account of the ferryboat Webster
obstructing tho channel by extending
out beyond the harbor lines almost half
her length.
The Numantia is berthed at Columbia
dock No. 2.

A SHAM "SHAM" FIGHT.
Wild Cavalry Charge at English
Army Maneuvers.
London Mall.
The field operations carried out the oth
er day by the First Cavalry Brigade and
the First Foot Guards Brigade at Alder
shot ended In an exciting manner.
The guards were fighting a rear guard
action from the Hogs Back to the Fox
Hills, and were retiring over Normandy
Common when the cavalry charged them.
The dragoons were so excited that they
charged right up to the guards, and act
ually slashed at them with their swords.
For a few minutes a scene of the wildest
confusion prevailed. A guards Adjutant
who was surrounded by half a dozen
troopers, put spurs to his horse, and was
chased a good distance. In the fight his
horse was disabled by a sword cut. A
Sergeant of the Scots Guards, who was
defending himself with his rifle, had the
foresight of the weapon cut off.
The cavalry then rode down a group of
cyclists, who left their machines and scat
tered hurriedly, the bicycles being
smashed up by the horsemen.
Altogether, considerable damage wan
done before the cavalry could be got un
der control, and it Is remarkable that no
ono wa3 seriously Injured.
Heinze Buys Mexican Mines.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 22. F. A. Heinzet
of Montana, has purchased the San Mar
tin copper mines, in tho State of Oaxaea.
The San Martin mines were worked by
Spanlards centuries ago, and prior to tho
conquest of Mexico the native Indians
operated them. In modern times the
mines have always' been a large and
profitable producer of copper.
