his youth with little innocent tip
ping. Surely no harm could come
of that. Neither was a man ever
guilty of outrage, who did not be-
gin his course of crime against
woman with little innocent "fun"
at her expense, such, perhaps, as
kissing handsome young woman
who didn't want to be kissed" If
it be true that che comes too near
who comes to be denied" it is
equally true that he comes too near
who kisses a woman against her
will. If tipping is the begin
ming of drunkenness, the kiss
ing of women against their
will is the beginning of licen-
tiousness. If it can be said Of the
young man who never tipples, that
it is moral certainty that he will
never be drunkard, then if boys
and young men have too much re-
spect for woman's personal rights,
that is, her right to be free from
masculine Intrusion, ever to think of
kissing women against their will,
then it is equally moral certainty
that they will never be guilty of
outrage and seduction neither will
they be builty Of inflicting blows
upon the person of women who, in
after years, may become their wives.
Kissing women against their will
is the incipient, the germ-crime,
from which develops all other crimes
against woman; for the boy or man
who, making pretense of self-re-
spect, yet brings physical force to
bear upon a woman by kissing her
against her will, is just as selfshly
bent on pleasing himself, regardless
of her right to control her own per-
son, as is the tramp who is guilty
of outrage.
"Warm-hearted young ladies
with bouquets, ought to crowd the
corridor of that Jail every hour of
the day" "Warm-hearted" young
ladies who respect themselves will
do no such thing; for why should
they crowd the corridors of that
Jail with bouquets, in sympathy for
a boy who has been guilty of the
incipient outrage of kissing young
woman who didn't want to be
KISSED" any more than they would
if he had "filled up the measure of
iniquity" against her, by the devel-
opment of outrage. Instead of
running to the Jail, those "warm-
hearted" young ladies will do well
to stay at home and put on their
thinking-caps, for the time is COM
ing when society will make a very
clear distinction between the young
women who, attaining to some
measure of moral development and

JURY NOT YET DRAWN.
Very Slow Proceedings in the Graves
Murder Case.
THE THEORY OF THE DEFENCE.
All the Government Witnesses but One
Now on the Ground-Dr. Graves Ap-

DENVER, Col, Dec 2.-Mrs. Conrad, Miss
Maud Barnaby and Detective Hanscom
have arrived and all the government wit
nesses are now here with the exception Of
Prof. Haynes of Chicago, the expert who
made the analysis of the viscera obtained
from Mrs. Barnaby's body.
The court room was again packed this
morning. Each side has five more per-
emptory challenges and IL Is not. believed
the drawing of the jury can be concluded
until late in the afternoon, even II 1T Is
concluded then.
ings has DIR. Graves looked so well as this
morning. His face was flushed with the
bright glow of health and he appeared
calm and confident. The deep lines about
his eyes had almost disappeared. The
attorneys for both sides came in early and
had pleasant word for each other, except
Col. Rickard and Mr.. Ballou, who posi-
lively refused to speak.
There are several theories as to the line
the defence will take. One is that the
cause of Mrs. Barnaby's death has never
been finally determined. She had been in
i'll health for years and addicted to taking
quantities Of patent medicines, and the
claim will be made that the arsenic found
in her body after death came from these
nostrums. The certificate of death given
by the attending physicians also gives the
cause of her death as lung trouble.
Another line of defence which it is inti-
mated will be made is that, while DIR.
Graves acknowledges that he sent the
whiskey to Mrs. Barnaby, a claim will be
made that it was poisoned by the Worrels
after it arrived here, the object in desiring
her death being to secure the
$4,000 left them by Mrs. Barnaby's will
The prosecution claim that they have
sufficient evidence TO convict, but refuse
To state what their case is. The trial
promises to be the most sensational ever
held in the West.

SUCCESS OF RECIPROCITY.
Barbados Now Wants to Enter
Into the Arrangement,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Two representa-
tives from the island of Barbados are
here in conference with Sir Julian Paunce-
fote regarding reciprocity arrangement
with this country in behalf of the British
West Indies. The representatives ap-
preciate the Importance of keeping the
American market for their cane sugar, for
il is their principal article of of export,
and they shipped to the United States this
year AZ, 131 hogsheads, while they sent only
5,4S3 hogsheads TO Great Britain. They
say that the United States is bound TO OBJ
tain the Barbados market for everything
which she can produce nearly as cheaply
as Great Britain can produce it.
Barbados takes already all her food
products-wheat, -four, canned meats and
pork products-from the United States.
and her trade in manufactured articles is
gradually shifting to this country.
The representatives believe that they
already offer a fair return for the free
market for their sugar which is offered
by the United States, and they hope TO
convince the State department that no
discriminating duties should be imposed
upon their products.

FIVE DEAD IN A FIRE.
Father, Mother and Three Children
Burned.
AN AWFUL SCENE IN DETROIT.
Flames Break Out In the Early Morning
While All Are AsIeep-Two Children
Jump into the Arms of Firemen and
Are Saved.

DETROIT, Dec. 2-At 2:20 o'clock this
morning a fire broke out at the residence
of G. j. Ries at the corner of Catherine
and Orleans streets There were seven
occupants of the building and all were
asleep at the time. When the fireman
and the police arrived at the scene of the
fire, flames were bursting from many of
the windows and il appeared that there
was little chance of saving the property.
A cry was heard through the cracking
OF the flames, and looking upward the
firemen were Mortified to see two small
children aged 3 and years, at one of the
windows which they mad managed to open.
Smoke encircled them and made them in
visible at times but their pitiful cries
could be distinctly heard.
The firemen called to the children TO
jump and two of the most stalwart mem
bers of the force took positions beneath
the window. The little fellows bravely
followed the instructions given and one
after the other climbed upon the sill and
jumped into the arms of the men below
and were carried to a place OF safety.
Meanwhile the nurse to the two children
had made her way to another window and
from there dropped to the ground.
These three were all who were saved OF
the eight occupants of the house. After
the flames had been extinguished the fire
men broke in the front door, and at the
foot of the stairs they found the body of
Mr.. Refs and his wife suffocated TO death.
They had died in each others arms after
seemingly vain effort TO get the door
open. In small bedroom at the head of
the stairs were the bodies of two of the
Refs children, one slightly and the other
badly charred, and in another room was
the body of Charles Refs, the oldest son
aged - years. He also had been badly
burned.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
