Which? and Why?

There is food for reflection in a couple Of ad
vertisements which appear side by side in
contemporary which read, with the omission
of address, as follows:
WANTED-Young lady in publishing Office
quick writer; "a week.
WANTED-An experienced girl for general
Homework in family of seven; assisted about
washing; wages "a.
1t will be observed that the rate of compen.
sation is the same in both these cases. but that
while the ''lady" receives simply "a per week
the experienced girl gets in addition her
board and lodging. Whether gentility-the
word most beautifully expresses the thing--is
worth what it costs must seem at least an open
question when the rate is so high.

An ESaISHER's EscAPE.-A passenger train

Plotted to Poison Banker Rawson.

MRS. RAwsoN TRIED TO HIRE A MAN TO PUT
POISON IN HER HUSBANDS GIN.
Another sensation turned up yesterday in
the famous Rawson case in Chicago, where
Mrs. Rawson is on trial for shooting LAWYER
Whitney, her husbands attorney. The sensa-
ton was produced by the reading of the evil
dence before the grand jury on the strength Of
which Mrs. Rawson was indicted, and, singu-
larly enough, this damaging testimony was
presented by the defense. The testimony read
was from the stenographic report of the pro-
ceedings before the grand jury, and included
the evidence given by l.. Fl. Bisbee, a promi-
nent lawyer, at one time attorney for Mr.. Raw
son. Mr.. Bisbee told the grand jury that he
learned of detective named Hogan who was
said to have important information regarding
Mrs. Rawson. Bisbee found Hogan, who said
he had been in Mrs. Rawsons employ several
months. She tried to hire him to put poison
in MIR. Rawson's gin bottle, which he kept in
his bedroom. Hogan said the proposition to
commit murder was made to him by her at the
Leland hotel while he was acting as a de-
tective for her. He left her at once and went
over to Mr.. Bisbees employ. Hogan said that
Mrs. Rawson told him that If he would not kill
Rawson she would send for Lee, her former
husband, who was in the west. and he would
do it. Hogan found out that Lee got as far as
Milwaukee on his way to Chicago, and that
there he received a pOst-ofice money order
from Chicago for $40 and got it cashed.
Bisbee told of negotiations which he had with
NJ. A. Driscoll, a friend of Mrs. Rawson's.
''Driscoll approached me-" said Mr. Bisbee. ION
the subject of settlement. He first said he
wanted $50, 900, for that was what Mrs. Rawson
valued her dover in her husbands estate at. 1
went to Lake Villa to see Driscoll on Friday,
and offered him $4,000. He wanted $4,000.
but he finally agreed upon S32. 500 Driscoll
said he had come from Mrs. Rawson and repre-
sented her. He was sorry, he said, that the
settlement could not be contaminated before
Monday, because there would likely be blood
shed in the meantime. became alarmed at
this, and sent word at once to Mr.. Rawson to be
careful. Driscoll said Rawson was guarded
daily at the bank and at home. and the only
place he was not protected was at church. The
next Sunday he was shot at church."
The stenographer then read the testimony
of Mrs. Hattie Hamilton, woman who said
she lived with Mrs. Rawson before she married
the banker. Mrs. Hamilton said the defendant
was profane and violent, and swore terribly be-
cause Rawson did not pay her son Ralph, who
was employed in his bank larger salary.
''She said" the Hamilton woman testified.
that she would get even with the old Spoken
dyke. She would marry him, make his money
fly and then get rid of him."

The Parnen Commission.
WITNESS WHOM AN ARCHBISHOP ADVISED NOT
TO PAY HIS RENT.


TO PAY HIS RENT.
When the Parnen commission assembled
yesterday morning Sir Charles Russell, of
counsel for the Parnellites, said that,
owing to the publication of later para
graph in the Sheffield Telegraph and in order
to save time, he would not press his applica-
ton for a writ against that paper for issuing a
placard containing Objectionable words with
reference to the case before the commission.
Presiding Justice Hammer expressed his
qualification at this action of the counsel, and
said he hoped that no fresh applications
of a SIMILAR nature would be made. man
named Farragher deposed that Arch
bishop Walsh, in Mr.. Davitt's presence. had
advised him not to pay his rent, and that he
(Farragher) was evicted. He was afterward
employed in the Offices of the Dublin branch
of the league. Witness also testified that he
had carried letters, some of which contained
checks. from Mr.. Patrick Egan to Mullett, the
