Here is the transcribed text from the newspaper clipping:

VERY MONOTONOUS.

People have a right to complain when they see the same thing in print day after day. Likewise the reporter has a right to "kick when he is called to chronicle the same sad story of the "Servant girl" night after night. It is rough on the readers, it is far rougher on the reporter. It makes him prematurely gray, and superlatively profane. It happened again Sunday night. The victim (No. 36) was a young girl — a Swede — employed on the premises of Mr. Abe Williams, the well-known clothing man — the same gentleman who was robbed while on his way from the theater, not many weeks ago. It was late in the night. She was awakened by a noise at the door. It was locked and the intruder then tried the window. This scared the girl, who ran for protection toward the main house. The "villain still pursued her," and catching up with her endeavored to drag the girl off the gallery. She scratched his face fiercely. Finally her screams brought Mrs. Williams to the door and the brute fled. The girl could not say whether it was a white man or a negro.
