A Victim of Tight LacinC.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept 12.-The craze for
slender waists has found a victim in Miss
Mary Crawford, a young lady living al
Delray. She was attending a dance and was
in the midst of the quadrille when she sud-
denly cried out and fell, but was caught by
her partner, who carried her to lounge,
where she seemingly tainted. 1t was found
impossible to resuscitate her, and a physi-
clan was summoned, who pronounced the
young lady dead. An examination revealed
the fact that she had died from tight lac
ing, the stays in her corsets having been
drawn so tightly that her flesh lay in folds
beneath so that the exertion OF dancing
caused the bursting of blood vessel Miss
Crawford was to have been married Tues
day, and her betrothed is completely pros
trated.

Forty years ago the chief duty Of an editor, in
view of his limited facilities, to gather all the
news he could and print it. Intelligence was
transmitted slowly; many occurrences OF interest
were never heard Of beyond their immediate
locality ocean mails were long in transit, and the
overthrow of an European dynasty was not known
here until long after the event. Suddenly there
came change. The railroad and the telegraph
superseded old methods, and the newspaper was
literally flooded with news. The death Of petty
ward politician in San Francisco, the result of a
Presidential election, the accession Of sovereign,
the outbreak of war, and notice that shanty had
beenburden in Texas all were hurried over the wires
into the newspaper offices, and there being ,.s nj
