quonock. Miss Niles’ uncle, the late
John M. Niles, was at one time post-
master-general of the United States
and had served a term as senator from
Connecticut in theUnited States Senate.
The family is most highly respected
and well-to-do. Last night Miss Niles
had a friend visiting her, Miss Annie
Ennis, and these5 two, with a servant
girl, Alice Daly, were alone in the
house.
At half past 12, Miss Niles who slept
up stairs, heard suspicious names on the
outside of the house, as if a ladder was
being raised. She kept still a moment
and then heard a window broken in.
In another second a man stole into her
room and she began to scream. She
was'dealt several blows on the head
and was cut on the left side of the
head, the gash being long and deep.
She received another gash under the
left eye and several blows on the body.
She resisted as strongly as she could,
and the noise awakened Miss Ennis,
who slept in the next room.
Miss Ennis ran into her friend’s room
only to be met by the burglar, who left
Miss Niles tqi'attack her. He slashed
her a cut over the right eye and dealt
her some terrible blows about the body.
In one of his blows his club, or blunt
instrument, fell to the floor, and Miss
Ennis ran out of the room, slammed
the door in the burglar’s face and
locked herself in a front room.
A negro named John Tyler was ar-
rested, and it is not doubted that it was
he who committed the assault.
In his pocket was found a slung shot
or “ black jack," bound With heavy
string and straps, a buckle protruding
on the end. This had fresh blood on it.
WOMAN'S FEAR OF- MlCE.
One of the Fair] Sex Essays in Vain tvo-
count for It.
As a woman, and I trust a brave one,
a lover of animals and a. student of
natural history, I ask the vexed ques-
tion in all seriousness, Why are women
afraid of mice? says a writer. Why
should the sight (I had almost 'written
the name) of a tiny, harmless, graceful
little creature strike terror into the
stoutest hearts that beat in feminine
breasts? Echo answers: “Why?” The
fear of mice is an hereditary curse, an
inherited weakness, a fatal fee which
it is useless to combat, a foolish dread
of which we ought to feel heartily
ashamed, and yet it is a. real and for-
midable terror. It is never assumed.
It may be exaggerated by a fit of hys-
terics or a. succession of piercing screams
but the genuine peur a faire fremir is
there all the same—and why? I re-
-member once reading a. story about a.
coterie of strong-minded women who
gave a series of lectures upon female
virtues, in an old town assembly room.
One of their number was chosen to de-
liver a lecture on valor and selected for
her subject the history of J can of Arc.
But when the evening arrived and
she was discoursing_ upon the valor
of her sex in general a mouse ran
across the platform and the lecturer
and her strong-minded sisters jumped
onto their chairs, clutching their petti-
coats in a manner not altogether pic-
turesque. But I maintain that the
fear of mice has nothing whatever to
do with the lack of real bravery and
that J 03.11 of, Arc would probably have
clutched her petticoats in precisely the
same manner. ‘
A mouse in the chamber of Marat
would, I believe, have deterred Char-
lotte Corday from her dreadful pur-
pose; and the tail of one popping op-
portunely from the carving of Tuilla’s
chariot would have prevented her.
from driving over her father’s corpse;
and I could cite many instances in
which mice might have changed the
history of the world. th0 can doubt
that Cleopatra and the other swarthy
Egyptian beauties held the sacred cat
in special veneration on account of the
part he played in ridding them of their
pet aversion? Everyone knows that if
a cat has a. weakness it is for a plump,
Well-matured mouse, and puss has. per-
haps, for this reason earned the affec-
tions, because the gratitude, of our sex.
The story of a prisoner who was
cheered in captivity bya. mouse is fami-
liar to us all—but the prisoner was a
man. Equally familiar is the fable of
the grateful mouse which gnawed the
net, but again—the prisoner is said to
have been a. lion, not a. lioness. I be-
lieve there is a mutual antipathy be-
tween them.
Most women have experienced the
sensation. You are sitting alone read-
ing,’ playing, writing, painting or work-
ing. Suddenly you instinctively feel a
sensation of horror of some evil influ-
ence that is present but as yet unseen.
You lift your eyes. You behold, glid-
ing over the carpet towards you with-
out noise, — apparently without the
It stops,
it fascinates you. You drop your book,
your music, your brush, your needle,
whatever it may be, but you make no
other sound. You feel your blood
freeze and your limbs slowly paralyze,
your heart stops beating, your breath
ceases, a cold chill creeps over you. In
your imagination you feel the soft
touch of an army of mice running races
over your face and hands and making
nests in your back hair. You start to
your feet * ‘“ * and then * * *
well, women take these things so dif-
ferently. Are women afraid of mice
simply because it is born in them?
There is no reason why we should be
afraid of them. but the fact remains
that we are, and I have long since re-
signed myself to the fact as an evil for
which there is no remedy. -—London
