The Watson murder has passed into the
history of Salem county and will for many
a year to come be remembered with a thrill
of horror and will be narrated by many
fireside. 1t were well if few of the les
sons it teaches might be remembered for as
long time as the event itself. And one OF
these lessons is that it is absolutely unsafe
for unprotected women or girls to go upon
the highways after nightfall, if not indeed
in broad daylight. 1t matters not that the
case under consideration is the first of the
kind in this neighborhood, the very fact
that it has happened proves that the dan
ger is there. No doubt poor Ella Watson
had often traversed before the road that at
last led her to her death, and that she felt
perfectly secure i'll SO doing. It'll more than
probable that her murderer knew of this
and that the deed had been meditated be-
tore and suggested by the very circumstan-
ces that made it easy of accomplishment.
How oft the sight of means to do i'll deeds,
Makes i'll deeds done"
The girl or woman who except upon the
most urgent necessity trusts herself unae-
companied upon the road after nightfall is
unwittingly offering opportunities to some
lecherous devil who lacks but the opportu-
nifty to perpetrate as dastardly crime as
that of last week. Within the last few
days instances have come to our knowledge
of young girls living outside of Woodstown
coming alone into town i'll the evenings and
returning the same way. We give them
credit for their courage Girls are gener-
ally regarded as timid, and it is refreshing
to find one now and then who is no coward,
but prudence is not cowardice. and in these
days of tramps and midnight providers,
prudence demands that our women should
not unnecessarily expose themselves to
dangers to which their sex renders them
particularly liable. We speak plainly for
the occasion demands plain speaking, and
THE MONITOR would not be true to its
name and object if it failed to raise a warn
ing voice in this matter.
The press daily brings to our notice just
such outrages occurring i'll different parts
of the country, and when we realize that
every day some community, far or near, is
going through the same terrible experience
as ours has passed through so recently, we
think it would be wicked to remain silent.
1t is not only on the lonely road that dan
ger lies. Have our readers ever thought
Of the number of farmers houses lying at a
distance from other dwellings, out of sight
or hearing perhaps, where all day long
women are left unprotected, the men of the
family in distant fields or away on the bus
mess of the day? Those farmers who are
SO situated as to make this state of things
necessary, should see to it that no means
i'll their power to give protection to their
families in their absence be neglected. 4
good dog, who will stay at the house, a
loaded revolver within easy reach and skill
in its use, or some other means of protec-
ton should be at hand.

sharp pain in his right arm followed by a
copious discharge of blood. DR.. Garrison

was relieved BY the Doctor lying heavy
pressure on the wounded member, The
pain was so great that during the operation

was right And at this very

nothing, Cleveland was addressing

Blaine to take steps to hberate McSweeney;
Afterward, when Arthur had footballed
Blaine out of his position, McSweeney was

This was but one of the good points
made BY Mr.. Pendleton. All were equally
acceptable to the audience and were stated
in that glowing language peculiarly his
own. He closed the meeting brilliantly
and sent everybody home happy.
