Street.
How the excessive Indulgence of the appetite
may alter or entirely destroy the finer sentiments
OF the human character Is theme which finds
continual analysis in the books OF novelists and
the plays Of dramatists while in real life the
fact that brutality Is made to SUD-
plant human love in all its phases
is every day shown by the act OF some one mad
dened Dy drink. Men are more apt to become
violent toward others in the derium which iol-
lows the qualification of a gross desire, than
women; the latter debase themselves cover
themselves with filth in the mire OF shame, and
in numerous instances end their existence
in sudden and self-sought death. There
have, however, been examples OF women, who
excited with drink and voluntarily cut loose from
all the better instincts OF
THE FEMININE NATURE
have done deeds that "make high Heaven weep y
The list OF horrid crimes done by women was
added to yesterday, and the latest of the cata-
logue is the most revolving and seems
more in opposition to true womanly ma
ture than any OF the Others. Yesterday

hands or her mother, Isabel Jan1sch. The residence

information about the affair. He learned
from the physician who treated the child that her
feet, legs and BODY were horribly burned and that
her suferings before death were OF character to
draw out the sorrow OF the least tender hearted.
The child struggled at times In the most irightful
commissions, which would then give way to periods
OF the most utter exhaustion, during which
she would be little more than able to feebly
sigh out the expression OF her pain. Just
previous to her death the poor little one endured
one OF the most awful OF these attacks. Medical
skill could neither save her nor allay her pain.
During the time Of her suffering there was an In
tense, though quiet. sentiment among the
people OF the neghborhood against Mrs.
dead the most bitter reproaches and charges OF
the most horrible crime were cast at her mother.
All the people declared that the imbruted woman
was haDitually drunkard; and some declared
that in moments OF drunken frenzy she was in the
habit OF beating her child. There was a division OF
opinion as to now Carrie had been so fearfully
with having llltreated her enid said that It was
the sole work OF her drnk-inhamed brain to devise
ways OF torturg the poor creature so as to satisfy
the strange and disgusting desire OF her own
suffering suffering. It A, was charged by by these people
who were bitter IN their reproaches to Mrs.
Janisch that she had inflicted the burns upon
Carrie; that in frenzy she had danced and
