The Baby Was Avenged.
I was sitting in the shade of
ravine resting from the mid-day su
when a company of baboons cam
clambering down the opposite wa
toward the water that trickle
through the gully. I sat 'still an
watched them. A big male led, an
after satisfying himself that all wa
safe uttered a few deep notes.
Reassured by the call, the othei
quickly followed; a mother, with a
i ever watchful eye on her two youn
ones, brought up the rear.
Suddenly, like a streak of ligh
ning, a leopard sprang from behin
a rock and with one blow of his pa
felled the little baboon nearest hin
But before he could make off wit
his prey the furious mother attacke
him. The attack had come so quid
lv that the rest of the company hare
ly realized what had happened. Bi
at the mother's cry of rage they a
at once turned and fell upon th
robber.
In a moment the leopard was su
rounded and almost covered wit
furious baboons. The battle waxe
hot. Although numbers of baboo*
wpnt down before the powerful pav
of the cat their places were imnr
diately filled by others. It was n<
long before the leopard began to tin
he could make no noticeable impre
sion upon his assailants and h
strength was sapped by their shai
teeth. He struggled bravely, but :
vain; slowly he sank out of sig]
beneath the fiercely chattering f<
that he had despised.?From d;

: PHTTDRKX BURNED TO DEATH.
Trapped in Burning Barn?Probably

^ Playing with Matches.
Pittsburg, Dec. 5.?Trapped in a
burning barn at Universal, a borough,
-three small children were
n slowly burned to death to-day while
& their mother listened to the children's
screams and tore frantically
t_ at the weatherboarding of the barn in
^ a futile attempt to save them.
The dead are Elizabeth Sophan,
'* five; John Chasley, four, and Mary
k Randa, aged eight. They had visited
^ the barn to play and are thought, to
l~ have had matches. The children had
" closed and fastened the barn door.
lt The flames were discovered by
^ Mrs. Sophan. She knew the children
ie were in the barn and her cries
brought Mrs. Chasley and Mrs. Ranr"
da. Screaming and crying the three
' mothers tried to break down the
:C* door and failing, attempted to pull

bpards from the side of the building, j
,s The pitiful cries of the burning chil-|
e~ dren drove the mothers into a wild
frenzy. When help arrived the three
^
" women were practically maniacs.
s" They were carried to their homes.
ls and meanwhile rescuers cut a hole [
. in the barn. Before they succeeded
m the cries of the children ceased and
later the three charred bodies were
j
recovered,

A. h
WOMAN POLICEMAN.
Miss Rupp, of Spartanburg, Enters j
Upon Duties with Board of Health.
"Have you fought a duel since
1881?" was one of the questions asked
.Miss Annie Rupp, of Philadelphia,
by Mayor Johnson this morning,
as she was being endowed with
the powers of a police officer. Miss
Rupp is perhaps the first woman officer
in the South and certainly the
first one in this State. She stated
that she had not fought such a duel,
and also that she did not intend to
fight one in the immediate future.
Miss Runn is th<* trained nurse
employed by the "Spartanburg
Health League" in its war on tuberculosis.
She will do other work,
however, and now since she has the
powers of an officer she can force persons
to clean up their premises and
make their residences more sanitary.
She can enter any home and advise
the occupants as to how best to combat
germs and disease.
At a recent meeting of the board
of health it was pointed out that Miss
Rupp's work was somewhat handicapped
because some persons who
needed her services were reticent
about allowing her to administer unto
them, and on one occasion she was
oraerea irom a ceriam nouse m
which there were several children ill
with pneumonia and r ot a single pillow
case or sheet in the entire house.
Miss Rupp was forced to leave the
house, despite her explanations that
she was there to aid the suffering ,
children. She did not stay away,
however, and the next day found her
at the door with a quantity of linen;
which was gratefully received by the
sick children Und their peculiar parents.
These people did not understand
the nature of Miss Rupp's
work.
Now, since she has been empowered
with the powers of an officer, she
can order any person to clean up his
or her yard. She can wear a policeman's
badge, can carry a billet or a
pistol, if she wishes, and has the same
powers as the policewomen in western
cities.
Miss Rupp is doing a wonderful
work in and around the city of Spartanburg.
and already has visited numerous
patients and has found condiI
tinnc ovtrpnio nnvprtv which hflVP
.been reported to the proper authori- I
ties and have been aided.?Spartan- |
