THE SUPREME COURT of Missouri has
been wrestling violently for some weeks
with the technicalities of murder in the
first degree, and they have inculcated
the theory that premeditation and
"doliberation are highly different things
when applied in this connection to the
criminals act. In other words, in order to
make out case of murder in the first
degree, there must be season of intel
lectual planning, cold delibcmtion, an I'M
mense amount of malice and no end of
phlcgm. Any killing that takes place while
the blood Of the slayer is hot is simply a
second-rate affair. The beauties of this
plan will probably increase the penitcn-
tary tax in that desperate State.
The st. Louis Post Dispatch, which ought
to know all the facts in its bailiwick, re-
marks that it used to be thought that emo
tional insanity" was enough TO battle the
hangman, "but the ruling Of our Supreme
Judges make it doubtful whether that OBJ.
solete nonsense will ever be heard Of again
| in our courts. As we remarked once before,
il is possible that some such distinguished
lawyer as Chas O'C0nor could commit a
real murder in Missouri with such exact
ness as to bring hmselfwithin the require
mcnts laid down by the Supreme Court,
but certainly no ordinary, uninformed man
could perform first degree job without a
prolonged season Of practice"

QUEEN VICTORIA is credited with main
tanning privately strong, conservative
prejudice againt female physicians By
virtue of her prerogative it would seem
that she might be allowed to enjoy this
prejudice in peace, but to disturb her tran
quillty, the Maharanee of Punnah sends
special request to her Majesty to send a
number of competent English female doc
tors to the relief of the suffering women
of India, who are now compelled to rely
solely upon the assistance of the ignorant
native women.

Lair was growing thin on top, but he
labored to conceal this by carefully
plastering it down with bandolines and
cosmetics. One day Speaker Hamlin
called him TO the desk and said, in
what he intended to be q very funny
way -

refused to vote for him. and the other
