CROUCH ON RATS"
Martin j. Casey Brings Long Spree to
n Sudden End.

Martin j. Casey Brings a Long Spree to
Sudden End.
Martin j. Casey brought a long spree to a
climax yesterday by taking dose of Rough
on Rats" while in his room at 1151 Market
street. He had retired drunk the night be-
fore. The Coroner was notified of the sui
eide, and the remains were removed to the
Morgue. Casey was about 55 years of age
and machinist by occupation. For a num-
Der of years lie worked at his trade at Mare
Island.
Some years ago he married a young girl in
Vallejo, but led her such a wretehed life
that she was compelled to separate from
him. Hard drink was the cause of Casey's
downfall, and he would go on spree which
would extend into many days. He began
his last spree about week ago, and ended
it in the manner described. His wife,s sister
stated after the suicide had been discovered
that Casey had often threatened to take his
life, and once had cut his throat in four
places, besides making an effort to kill sew
eral members of his family.
This happened on May Sth, and this was
the occasion when young Mrs. Casey made
up her mind to leave her husband. After
the separation Casey drank more than ever.

WoAIEN,s CLUBS.
They Are a Social Factor in the Reforms
of To-Day.


of To-Day.
Note should be taken of the women's
clubs, which are springing up all over the
country. They have evidently come, as the
saying is, to stay. Some little personal ac-
quantance with the work, spirit and per-
sonnet of one such club leads me to believe
that, where they are wisely guided, their
power as an instrument of social reform is
very great, and is to be still greater. In
these clubs questions of domestic economy
such as the treatment of children, the ad-
ministraion of the home, the management
of servants and the mistress duty toward
them, are made matters of free and often
useful discussion. l see no reason why
such clubs should be confined, as they NOW
are to the cities and large towns; no reason
why they should not exist in every village !;
no reason indeed why every sewing society
should not become wOman's club at which,
while the rest sew, one, appointed for the
purpose, should read some paper, original or
selected, on me aspect of social life in which
the women are interested and to which they
can contribute. Indeed, believing as do III
organization, l have sometimes wondered
why the women in every town ana village
might not probably unite in a union,
agreeing on the one hand to admit no
woman into their union, whatever her
wealth or social status, who did not treat
her servants with reason and with justice,
providing them, for example, with decent
and sunlit rooms, with adequate vacation
hours, proper facilities for sunday worship
in the church of their own choice, etc, and
on the other hand agreeing to employ no
servant who came from any other member
without recommendation. This Is perhaps
a foolish masculine dream, but as it may
furnish the feminine reader with amuSe-
ment if nothing else it may stand.-Lyman
Abbott. d. D., in the Chautauquan for Sep
TENDER.

MECHANICS LIEN.
Only Principal Contractors Must File
Agreements.

Only Principal Contractors Must File
Agreements.
The Supreme Court Yesterday reversed
the judgment on demurrer of the Superior
Court in the case of HInckley against tue
Fields Biscuit and Cracker Company. The
complaint was on a mechanics lien, and the
lower court sustained demurrer 10 it and
entered judgment for the defendant.
The decision is one of great importance to
builders and manufacturers. Hinckley, the
plaintiff, is a member of the firm of Hinck-
ley, Spiers & Hayes, owners of the Fulton
Iron Works. The firm sued the cracker
company on mechanics lien for $1,000
The defendant demurred on the ground
that the lien had not been recorded. At
torney- General Hart, who represents d the
iron company, argued against the demurrer
that only the contractor who has charge of
the entire work to be done is comuelled to
file his agreement and although Hinckley,
Spiers IL HAYES had contracted directly
with the defendant to do a part of the
work on the building that was erected, they
were not principal contractors.
The decision, saws the Attorney General,
affects cases now pending, in which millions
of dollars are involved.

THE MIGHT EDITOR.

The night editor of the average city daily
is man who earns his salary. OF course
every one understands how to get out a
paper better than the editors, but notwith-
standing this general idea he earns his SAL
airy. He remains awake while the ordinary
mortal sleeps. The poor fellow who passes
his nights on bed of pain is one who is not
recompensed. 1t is true that if he exer-
cised proper judgment he would be cured,
but every one has not judgment The ex-
perience of others strengthens judgment.
