The Woman Responsible.

The Old Maid who takes up the gaunt-
let thrown down by the London Daily
Telegraph reminds one to wonder again
why it is that the woman is always held
responsible if marriage proves failure.
viii you kindly allow an old maid to
give her opinion as to why marriage IS
so often a failure. LOOkers-On always
see most of the game, and l, being one
of those whose lot 1t is to take care of
other women's BARNS, have had some
experience, both of the homes where

dead failure. and | maintain that in

ness, but the wife who, neglectIng to

worries her husbands life outage, and
her children's, toby fretting over
trifles. Ii a girl was taught to be wo-
manly and true and to understand that,
married or single, there will always be
work to do and trials to endure, and
that a Woman'S lot is flowing and CIV

there will be no fear of her degenerate

The Dollars in the Case.

A man takes up the discussion in the
Herald and arrives at the conclusion
that matrimOny IS a luxury which the
poor should not presume to know.
If man is rich he can afford to get
married five or six times if he lives long
enough and wives die young.
He can afford to feel that marriage is
a success. but if he is a mechanic or a
door tradesman the best thing he can do
is to stay single.
| wish | had stayed single.
My wife does not know that these are
my sentiments: if she did there might
be more reason than ever for my beliey-
ing that marriage is failure.
She is an angel. is my wife, until Won
cross her. and when yOn do YOU realize
the meaning of Paradise LOST in vOur
own little home.
My home has never been what Won
would call an out-and-Out Paradise or
Eden, for we have never had money
enough to purchase a piece of it either
since our first three children were born.

peck or gallon, just as the dealers
choose to take it.
Since you are discussing a subject
dear to me | should like. through YOUR
paper. to give a little sound advice to
manageable girls.
Girls. don't marry in hurry!
Don't marry simply because you are
in Lowell
Don't marry for the fear of being an
old maidl
As rule. don't marry before you are
twenty-four years old!
Look at marriage in a sober. business
like. but conscientious way. You meet
men every day whom you know to be
sober, industrious. honest. companion
able and capable of taking car of YOU
comfortably. and whom YOU can respect
and admire if you do not love. Throw
sentiment to the winds. consent to
marry one of these estimabe young
men and love is as sure to follow such
a union as summer follows spring. Too
many girls, not of the sentimental kind,
hesitate on honor. for fear of violating
nature, because they have secretly been
expecting that some day that great
overwhelming passion love would take
possession of their hearts.
Some years ago, before | had happy
home of my own. 1 studied we'll the
subject, and found, after careful in
quiries, that nearly ali the marriages
contracted in good faith. after the above
rule, in after years were productive of
happy results. While on the other
hand it was utterly discOuraging to any
young person to note the results of the
SO-called love Matches" contracted
mostly before the contracting parties
had reached what we now call years
of discretion"

4 Tartar She Loved.

A young girl fresh from school gives
her views on the question of marriage
in the London Daily Telegraph. Her
ideas will doubtless call forth from the
experienced sneers about the foolish
faith of ignorance that removes other
peoples mountains.

band l would choose. | imagine a

WOMAN MURDER IN NEW YORK.
Startling Statistics of Crime I'm the
Great MetropOifs.


The criminal records bear mention OF
twelve murders committed since the Let
Of January in this city, and the dozen
murderers are now in custody awaiting
trial. The number OF murders IL far in
excess Of the usual average, and it is
further remarkable that OF these twelve,
eight, or exactly two-thirds, were wo nan
murders, the victims ranging between
the ages of 20 and So.
Here is record of those charged with
woman murder since this year began
Patrick H. King, February LIST; Charles
Giblin, February 18th; Amio Oebel,
March LIST; Frederick Feuerbach, March
23d; Golden Robinson, March 30th /;
Patrick Packenham. April Cd; Ferdinand
Carolin, April 9th, and William Arm
strong, April 9th.
The last execution which occurred in
this city was that OF Daniel Driscoll, con
victed of the murder Of Bezie Clarity.
The murderer last sentenced in New
York was Francis Pittman, found guilty
Of the murder OF his own daughter,
Rachel; and the murderer next to suffer
the death penalty here, if the courts do
not interfere to stay the execution, is
Adolph Reich, who killed his young
wife OF whom he was jealous, in Norfolk
street several months ago.
The number of woman murders is en-
tirely unprecedented. In the cases where
women are the victims the plea OF self
defense, SO generally relied upon in other
instances, can rarely be interposed. The
woman, unarmed, ,unnerved, passive,
and sometimes pleading, is at the mercy
OF the assailant, whose stronger hand,
surer aim and steadier purpose deals
