SECRETARY wINDoMDEAD.
His Life Terminated Suddenly
at the New York Board of
Trade Banquet.

NEW YoRK, January 29.-Just
as Secretary Window concluded
his speech at the Board of Trade
dinner tonight he grew deathly
pale, his eyes shut and opened
spasmodically and he fell inert on
his chair. Tuence he slipped to
the floor, where he lay uncon-
seious. The most intense excite
ment Immediately ensued. Judge
Arnoux, exSecretary Bayard and
Capt. Snow were the first of sever
al who ran to MIR. Windom's aid.
They found him apparently uncon-
scious. They lifted him gently
and carried him into an ante-loom
where several physicians proceed
ed at once. to his assistance. He
was soon pronounced dead and the
result attributed to heart disease.
William Window Was born in
Belmont County, o., May 10, 1927.
He was appointed Secretary of the
Treasury by President Harrison,
and has since served in that capaci-
ty. He left Washington this
morning apparently in perfect
health, to attend the banquet Of
the Board of Trade and Transporta-
tion at New York this evening,
where he Was to make an address
outlining the fiscal policy of the
government.
DR.. Robinson, when asked as to
the immediate cause of the Secre-
tary's death, said But for the
previous history of heart disease,
l should have diagnosed the case
as one Of appoplexy. Secretary
Window never recovered conscious
ness after he fell. His death was
practically instantaneous, though
we noticed three or four irregular
pulsations of the radial artery"

Some Things That DeterWOmen
From Marriage.


From the North American Review.
There are three general causes
which bring marriage into disfavor
with women F.: philanthropy, high
er education and self.analysis.
The first has been a powerful fac
tor in It's subtle influence against
marriage. TIE mental atmosphere
is permeated with the idea of
responsibility for another's hap
piness. Woman now feels herself
accountable for the welfare of
humanity, and through the exer-
else of that responsibility has found
occupation for mind and heart,
which has prevented absorption in
her own affairs. Higher education
has affected marriage, inasmuch as
it has opened new avenues of
employment for women, has forti-
fed them for life as a whole, and
has led them to regard marriage as
an incident. It has given girls
communistic feeling which makes
them prefer to teach where there
are other teachers rather than to
live on hilltop and read aloud to
their parents, or to retire to farm
or a tenement and bake and brown
for their husbands. The higher
education has separated marriage
and motherhood. Almost all
women love children and would
gladly use their knowledge for the
delight and profit of family, but
they do not want the intervening
marriage. Analysis has advanced
from being a method in text books
to the study of ones self. The age
is analytic. Once work was so
constant that married women did
not realize their loneliness or the
| want of appreciation which befeli
them. Now society and the mid
die class have leisure to examine
their states of mental solitude, and
to see just where husbands are
| wanting

TAUBENECK ANGRY.
He Demands an Investigation of
the Published Charges
Against Him.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 3d.
Mr.. Taubeneek, the f. NJ. B. A.
member, against whom a st. Louis
morning paper is making sensa-
tional charg 8, declares to-day that
the mere that paper prints on the
subject now the stronger his case
will be when he enters suit. He
was IN Dakota during the entire
time covered by Dyer's statement.
He introduced a resolution this
morning setting forth that notwith-
standing the result of the inyesti.
CATION made by the Legislature last
week, the libelous rumors have
again been put in circulation, and
in justice to himself, to his con.
stituents and for the honor of the
body of which he is a member, he
asked that the same committee be
authorized..o so to Columbus, o.,
and make thorough investigation
of the matter and sift it to the bot
tom. He also asked that he be
sent with the committee, saying
that "If Mr.. Dyer could reoog-
nize my photograph, he certainly
can recognize me-"
The Democrats asked that Mr..
Partridge, of the Republican House
Steering Committee, be added to
the Investigation Committee to 90
to Columbus, so that the Republi.
cans would have representation in
the Investigation. Ibis was agreed
to and the resolution was adopted
by a unanimous vote amid pro.
longed cheering. The entire As.
sembly appears to be in sympathy
with Mr.. Taubeneck. He de-
nounces the publication in the st.
Louis paper as infamous persecu-
cution, and says he defies the world
to produce one scintilla of evidence
to support the story, aud that he
will leave nothing undone to put q
stop to the SANDER and bring the
publishers to justice. Messrs.
Ramsay of Clinton, chairman of
the committee, Mr.. Moore, leader
of the F. M. B. A. party, Mr.. Part
ridge and Mr.. Taubeneck leave on
the 8 o'clock Wabash train tonight
for Columbus and will immediate.
Iy enter upon the prosecution of
the investigation.
There will be no full sessions
