The fishery commission seems to have set
tied down to state of ''innocuous desue-
tude" NobodJ expects anything to come of
it. Cansdpwants to sell us privileges that
belongs us by right, and, thanks to the brac-
-ipreffect of the action of the United States
Senate, Mr.. Bayard and his counsellors re-
fuse to buy. Apparently the only hope of
solution is in the complete surrender of the
Canadian case by the British commissioners
or the putting Of fish on the free list by Con-
gress. A Republican Senate stands in the
way Of the latter, and the influence of Sir
Charles Upper and the Canadian govern
ment win most likely prove potent enough
to prevent the former. Meanwhile the COM
missioners are frequently invited out, SO
that the situation is not to them without its
consoling features.

is summed up by Professor Lodge, in the

one; and their capacity is increased by con-

SALEM, Mass, August Sian interesting
story was brought to light yesterday at the
hospital when james Murphy was carried
there to have an ugly wound on his face
sewed up. James was a leading member Of
Catholic Total Abstinence society and
was in good standing. On his return from
meeting he found his mother drinking
whisky, it is alleged. He told her that he
too would take to the intoxicating cup if
he ever again found her under the influ-
ence OF liquor.
When he returned for his dinner at
noon. ii is said, his mother was drunk. A
few words passed between them and then
young Murphy took his membership papers
in the Total Abstinence Society from his
pocket, threw them into tine fire and made
q bee line for the nearest saloo He
drank as much whisky as he could hold
and was soon bowling drunk In that con-
dition he presented himself to his intoxi-
Gated mother. She was so enraged that it
is alleged she seized large earthen wash
bowl and struck him squarely in the face,
splitting his face open to the bone. 1t was
terrible wound and will disfigure the
how for life

Esther's friends when they learned Of her
engagement to young man who bore the
reputation of sad fitrt. Esther. however,
knew that her lover had good qualities. and
she was willing to take the risk. In nine
cases out of ten 1t would have proved q
mistake; but Esther was an uncommon girl
and to every ones surprise Fred made q
model husband. How was It? Well,
Esther had cheerful. sunny temper and a
great deal of tact. Then she enjoyed per-
feet health and was always so sweet, neat
and wholesome that Fred found his own
home most pleasant, and his own wife more
agreeable, than any other being. As the
years passed and he saw other women OF
Esther's age grow sickly, faded and queru-
lous, he realized more and more that he had
"a Jewel of q wife" Good health was
half the secret of Esther'e success. She
retained her vitality and good looks, be-
cause she warded of feminine weaknesses

SEX AND CRIME,
MEN ARE MORE PROMINENT, GRIM
lNALLY, THAN WOMEN



The History Of Crime and What Il
Demonstrates "A Remarkable Fact.
ExplAnsti6n i6n-Refornation.
From the circumstance that a much
smaller number OF women than men are
convicted of crimes the conclusion is
drawn that their criminal propensities
are weaker or are under better control.
1t Is seldom taken into consideration thss
young girls are watched more carefully
than boys and are kept ppder greater re-
straint. Neither Is 1t taken into the ac-
count that older females spend almost all
their time at home while males of their
own age are on the street or mingling
with persons whose habits are not the
best. Many of the temptations to crime
come from business complications, In
which women have no share. As women
spend most Of their time at home with
their children and female companions they
are less likely to be tempted to do acts Of
violence. Most homicides are the results
OF anger melted when persons are away
from their homes and families. Violent
quarrels generally take place In the street
and not in the sitting room.
"he history Of crime. however. shows
that most of the murders committed by
the administration Of poison are perpe-
trsted by women. They show careful
preparation and great deliberation. u
simost every instance treacnery Is en-.
ployed. The victim Is generally invited
to partake Of refreshments supplied by
one who is presumed to be friend, and
does 30 without the slightest suspicion.
MURDER oy the administration OF poison is
the darkest OF al crimes, put IL Is the
one TO which women have been addicted

WOMEN CRIMINALS INcuRABLE-
Another very remarkable fact has re-
Gently been contributed to London pa
per by the chaplain of Clerkenwell jail. 1t
Is to the effect that women criminals are
practically incurables. he has prepared
. table extending through ten years and
showing how many men and women have
been convicted OF offenseS more than ten
times during that period. During last
year there were committed to the various
prisons and jails In England and Wales
5,6S6 men and .. 764 women who had been
committed not less than ten times pre-
viously. Such Is the case at time when
