Both Arc the Expression Of . Desire 10
Grow Rich without Work.
Gambling and burgling always occupy
. good deal of public attention during
the course Of a year. There is not q
very obvious connection between the
two, yet the subtle moralist may find an
association. Both are pursuits Of men
who ought to be otherwise, and more
profitably, engaged. Both are the ex-
pressions Of a desire to acquire riches at
one stroke-or, at the most, two strokes
and to avoid the monotony of con-
tinuous labor. And both are the re-
suits Of radical misconceptions on the
part of the individual practitioners.
Nobody ever gets rich bv gambling;
but it is open to demonstration that, il
the same amount of skill, Of cerebral
energy, Of mental dexterity and of acute
perception were expended in productive
work OF some kind as is expended ON
games of chance, the rewards would be-
substantial and certain. Again, the
burglar who burgles on a large scale is
playing against fearful odds. and is GER
tain to come to grief sooner or later;
while, if he burgles on a small scale, he
can but snatch a precarious and in
significant pittance, considerably below
what he might easily earn by legitimate
industry in lawful hours.
There is, perhaps, a charm of excite
ment in burglary which fascinates the
ment of the turf or of cards enthralls
the professional gambler. But to take
plain, practical view of both pursuits,
and one apart altogether from the ethics
of the matter, is to lead one to the con-
clusion that neither game is worth the
candle.
The law. of course, takes other views
of both. The burglar INDUCES in his
exciting career at the expense of the
community, and Injuries every body, IN
Guiding himself. The gambler INDUCES
in his habitual excitement without in
juring directly any body but himself
and those dependent on him, who, from
a social point of view, may be regarded
as part of himself. The burglar, there
fore, is objective in his existence; the
gambler, subjective. To put it other
wise, the burglar is a common enemy,
and the gambler nobody's enemy but his
own.
The great fact which the community
has to consider, and the law to provide
for, is that the burglar is one who is in
permanent rebellion against society,
and is, by the very nature of his en-
ployment, both degraded and desperate

Women Lawyers.

. Women are rapidly proving their ca
pacity to become successful lawyers,
despite the arguments and adverse
prophesyings which have been hurled
at them. Detroit's woman lawyer
Mrs. Martha Strickland-has recently
won case in the Supreme Court of
Michigan which has been closely con-
tested for two years, and which all &C
knowledge would have been lost but for
her faithful and skillful efforts in behalf
of her client. AS often as defeated in
the lower court she applied to the Su-
preme Court for relief, and has won
three successive victories, the case final
ly terminating in her favor. Evidently
the proverbial feminine desire for the
last word is quality that may be
used to advantage in the practice of the

It Was Universally Entertained as Late AZ
the Seventeenth Century.
A writer in late medical journal
takes for his subject the interesting
theme of ''DemOnology and Witchcraft,"
showing how some of the learned Chris
tian writer's of only two centuries ago
accepted such uncanny doctrine as be-
yond dispute. Sir Thomas Browne, one
of the master minds of the seventeenth
century, declared that those who denied
the existence of witches were not only
infidels, but also, by implication at
least, atheists. II have ever believed"
he says in his "Religio Medici," page
"a, edition of 1912, land do now know,
that there are witches; they that doubt
them do not only deny them but spirits,
and are obliguely and upon consequences
sort, not of infdels, but of athe-
lists" Shakespeare again and again
refers to belief in demonology. Bacon,
in one of his most important works, his
Advancement of Learning" pro-
nounced the three destinations from re-
ligion to be ''heresies, idolatry and
witchcraft." 10,
In 1868, only leg years ago, John Yves
ley wrote as follows: at is true, like
wise, that the English in general and,
indeed, most of the men of learning in
Europe, have given up all accounts Of
witches and apparitions as mere old
wives fables. L am sorry for it, and
willingly take this opportunity of en-
tering my solemn protest against this

are at the bottom of the Outcry which has
been raised, and with such insolence,

opposition, not only to one Bible, but to
the sufferings of the wisest and best of
men in all ages and nations. They all
know, whether Christians know it or
not, that the giving up of witchcraft is,
in effect, giving up the Bible" During
the Middle Ages, the devil was believed
to be everywhere-u6igue demon. There
was one religious sect who continually
kept up hawking, splitting and blow
ing at the nose, with view to expel
the devils swallowed in breathing. A
trace of this still remains in some local
tiles, where one who sneezes is greeted
with God bless you!" Such beliefs
were universal, as the reader may inn

The Latest I'm Gloves,

The latest continuance which is inter
esting the ladies is a glove with pocket
in it. The pocket is tiny affair, fixed
in the palm of the eftgloye, and is thus
silent testimony to the fact that most
women are right-handed. 1t is for nick
els and dimes. On entering a car or
stage the fingers of the right hand deft-
ly open the little pocket and the neces-
sary change is easily secured. 1t is a
question whether the gloves will be-
come a rage. Most women are mighty
particular about the fit of their gloves,
and whether or not the insertion of .

of one of them mars the symmetry of

MANIFEST MALICE. a,
Misstatemcnts Made Concerning Woman
Suffrage In Wyoming.

Measurements Made Concerning Woman
Suffrage In Wyoming.
Now that there is every prospect that
Wyoming will shortly be admitted as a
State, with its women exercising full
citizenship, the papers in New York and
other Eastern cities are beginning to
print letters, ostensibly from the Terri
tory, which contains statements going
to prove that woman suffrage is a failure
there. The n. Y. Sun recently con-
tanned such an article. The first state
ment is that:
Notwithstanding her right to vote,
woman's influence is of little weight at
the polls. Men go to the primaries,
make up the tickets, and furnish the
ballots to the women voters, who go to
the polls in cabs, deposit their votes,
and are quietly driven home again.
After the first excitement and novelty
were over, women manifested little in
terest in voting, and their disfranchise-
ment would be met with passivity and
little or no opposition on their part"
| was in Wyoming only little over a
year ago, writes Lilly Devereaux Blake,
in Woman's Journal, and met during nv
stay in Laramie and Cheyenne many of
the leading women of these places. l
can. of nv own personal knowledge, tes-
tify to the falsity of these allegations.
That woman influence at the polls
should be less important than mans is
not surprising when it is remembered
that the men outnumber the women
seven to one. OF course, as men cast
seven times as many votes as women,
they are seven times as important in eff
fecting the results. Men naturally
form large proportion of the audiences
at all public meetings: but to declare
that women feel no interest in politics
and would submit to disfranchisement
with indifference, is wholly incorrect
All the women with whom l conversed
expressed great interest in politics, and
showed an intelligence in regard to
local affairs and officials which | have
never met among women who did not
vote. They were eagerly interested in
the hope for Statehood, and their many
meetings held this summer to enforce
their demand for the guarantee of their
freedom in the new constitution is proof
of their jealous care of their own in
terests.

wOmanly Principle.

In America, certainly, most Of the
prominent advocates of equal rights are
themselves married women and mothers
of families. They are far enough from
setting up as the goal of their wishes a
state of society in which the majority of
women shall be spinsters and bread-win-
ners. They believe that every girl
should receive a training which will en-
able her to be bread-winner in case of
need, because matrimony is uncertain,
and also because, as Margaret Fuller
said, in order to give her hand with
dignity, she must be able to stand
alone" They regret the social condi-
tions which make it impossible for so
many women to contract an honorable
and happy marriage. But they do not,
with Mr.. Grant Allen, regard an unmar-
ried woman as necessarily ''unseyed,"
"defeminized," IAN abnormity," etc.
On the contrary, they hold that the
woman who prefers to live unmarried
rather than to marry without love gives
proof of her good principles and her
essential womanliness.-Woman's Jour-

they were admirable in their conduct.
Indeed, the next assertion of the anony-
nous writer proves his ignorance of the
whole question, for he describes Jury
women as weeping for the babies from
whom they were separated, when every
one in Wyoming knows that women
with young families were never called
on for jury duty. Mrs. Esther Morris,
the famous woman justice of the peace,
is quoted. not over her own name, but
only by her title. as not favoring woman
suffrage. Now saw Mrs. Morris and
had long talk with her while in Chey-
enne, and she emphatically approved Of
all that has been done for her sex. She
wished that women were more active in
politics, but admitted that where they
were so outnumbered by men they were
not likely to do very much.
The article closes by declaring that
the laws are no better for women IN
Wyoming than in adjoining States. In
some respects this is true, since the laws
in many of the Western States are so
liberal for women that they could hard
ly be improved: but the Territory has
one law on its statute books which has
no counterpart in any State, and that is
the law securing equal pay for equal
work to women and men as school-teach-
ers.
The final slur is an intimation that
women are no better off industrially
there than elsewhere. In any State
where there are so few women among so
many men, il is natural to find nearly
all the women occupied in their domes-
tic duties; but, as a fact, women do hold
high positions. They have been clerks
in the Legislature. State Librarians,
etc. The clerk in the Secretary of
States Office is brilliant young lady,
and women hold other positions not
filled by women in less favored States.

A PATHETIC EPISODE IN THE LOUISVILLE
CALAMITY-AwFUL SUSPENSE.
Special to Baltimore American.
LOUISVILLE. April The scenes around
the Falls City Hall after the fatal disaster
were horrible, but they sank into insignifi-
canoe when compared with the scenes be
meath the pile of ruins. Those who were
knocked senseless in the fall of the hall are
considered blessed by those who remained
conscious of the hopelessness of their con-
ditioa, and were able to realise the desola-
ton.
Among the few who were drawn from
the wreck conscious was Henry Felthoel-
ton, saloon-keeper On the corner of
Fourteenth and Market streets. He was
comparatively unhurt physically. but when
taken to his home his hair, that six hours
before was perfectly black, was found
ssreaked with lines of gray and white. AT
the time of the accident Felthoelton states
that he was in the front room on the second
floor, Immediately beneath the large room
where the Knights and Ladies of Honor
were holding their meeting For few
seconds after the crash came not a sound
could be heard. Theu gradually, just
above his head, arose moan from the
dying, and wild shrieks from the unin-
jured. he himself was wedged between
two pieces of timber. For two hours aud
half he remained there, conscious of all
that vas going on around him. He could
hear the voices on the outside of the
wreck, and the prayers and shrleks of those
within. At ore time, on the floor above
him, only one voice was heard. It was
that of woman in prayer. When she
began there seemed to be a deathlike still
ness, with the exception of the creams of
the dying. 81 cannot remember the
Words" he said, ''but her prayer was for
the deliyerence of all but herself. just as
this one voice was ascending like hope from
