and may not if at ALL before the close of this week.
but the question naturally comes up why the ne

Miss Duer carry pistol. if not from the promptngs

peculiar habits such noteriety. A contemporary who
seems to have studied the case well. says:
Whatever may be the issue of this great Duer-
Hearn trial. and whatever verdict the people may
form as to the cause of this lamentable affair it
pretty well established that Miss Duer formed the
taste for pistol and shooting around at random, and
for doing other unique and outofthe-way things by
novel reading. She was a constant reader of the
thrashiest cheap novels of the peried-those miser

every necessary occurrence of daily life trivial

set at nought every received old-fashioned prin-
cipal Of faith and morals. and whose heroines
defy every tme-honored canon of good taste and
good manners. We verify believe that this popular
literature is day doing far injury to the youth
of this land than the rum shops Even If they fail
TO corrupt the morals these novels vtiae the taste

tellect and destroy that innate power Of discrimina

and the rightly forbidden. which every healthy
