Bill Elliot in The Pen
itentiary
Who is He and What is His
Crime.


Crime.
There has possibly been no case
in the criminal records of this
country that has attracted more
public attention since the trial of
Getteau for the shooting of Gar
field, than did the case of Elliot in
Columbus for the killing of Os-
burn.
During the long trial of Elliot
under the awful charge of murder
in the first degree, his wife and
his children sat by him, giving
such comfort as natural affection
should and would bestow. Good
and true men who built that mag
nificent Court House, and who
elect the men to the high offices
they hold, stood with bated
breath to hear q decree.
1t has come A life sentence
in the pepitentiiary.
Who is this man Elliot and
what is his crimeP Now that the
most righteous judge has denied
him new trial, and Elliot is a
convicted felon, we are at liberty
to speak.
Some years ago a poor boy in
Cincinnati. struggled up from his
gravel shovel to a position of de-
served observation. Gov Bishop
appointed him supervisor of pub
lie printing. In this Office he had
the determination of expenditures
of more money than any appointee
of the Execu tive. His discharge
of duty in this Office met with
public appreciation, only one man
censuring his conduct, and that
man who had been charging mile.
age from Marion to Columbus
3 state official broke up and went
west and killed himself.
Later on Gov. Foraker appoint
ed Elliot to perhaps the most re-
sponsible position n his gift. 1t
seems to us down under the haw
bushes, that two governors would
not have appointed to prominent
state Offices a maxwell such as
the courts of Franklin County say
is felou. Coming into the terrible
of the killing of Osburn
The man killed wrote a letter to
Elliot which is in evidence, 81

in his paper stated that Elliott's
mother was buried in a paupers
grave, that his wife was a whore
and his children bastards. Bill
Elliot was gallant soldier. He is
IN Irishman. When he incident
y met the ruffian who had invad-
I'd the sanctity of his home, ira
lucing the character of his wife
md children and his long time
lead mother, he killed him.
Our good brethern of the Col
lmbus press, who were frequent
p charging that Garfield was a
.hief, that Grant was drunkard,
hat Hancock was a TRAITOR, that
rilden was a fraud, now set up
loly howls against Elliott's person.
j journalism, when before Elliott
vas behind the bars, helpless and
efenseless, they were too coward
y to attact him.
Elliot did about what most men
n this country would have done

HOME LIFE FOR COLLEGE, GIRLS
How Social Duties May be Combined
with Classical Curriculum.
From the Ne1o York Fvenino Post


with Classical Curriculum.
Prom the Ne1o York Evenino Post
The warmest advocates of the higher
education Of women have noted with regret
a certain aggressivenoss Of manner which
marks large proportion of girl graduates
As this popularity is In DO wise connected
with the study OF mathematics or the
classics 10 must be assumed TO be the result of
the long period Of life as one Of a crowd and
the absence Of the friendly friction Of the
family circle. II this be really tho root OF
the trouble we may hope much from the ex-
pertinent Of bringing the college to the
doors of tho home.
The girl who pursues her college course at
home has. no doubt, a harder task in order
ing her life than the girl who goes away to
place where everything Is subordinated to
study and the school room routine is still
paramount; but the home-stayer has tho
advantage that she Is shaping herself day
by day and the more thoroughly because
unoonsciously, to the life which she Is to
take up after graduation, while the other
has the whole work Of adaptation awaiting
her at the end Of her four years Of seclu-
sion, four years during which the outside
world is seen quite out Of perspective with
the class room and the study.
But here comes Ia the practical question.
How can girl of IS combine study with So
ciety and neither crowd out one nor break
down under the weight Of bothi She can
do It just as her brother does It, by taking
society as a diversion, not q duty. IL 10 the
distinction between the vocation and the
avocetion.
A woman, like a man, Is better and
healthier for having both, but one must be
subordinated to the other.
The college professor might well give his
pupil the advice which famous physician
gave TO his nervous patient that she was to
consider herself under bis orders 30 do moth
ing socially which she did not enjoy. IL IL
not dissipation, be insisted, but obligation 1,
that skaters the nervous system OF women.
1t is an inestimable misfortune for a
woman TO lose the girlhood out OF her life
Once dropped IL can never be picked up.
With all its crudity, 1t Is the season of gen.
erous impulse, hearty sympathy, and sim
cere convictions, and It lie the time, above
all others, wheo q wise homo Influence is
potent both to encourage and restrain.
Scholarship is only one OF the ends of col
lege training. The true ideal Is the SYM
metrical development of character, and this
includes many things not laid down In any
curriculum. An attractive, sweet-voiced,
well-dressed, well-bred woman draws stu
dents to her college as the captain Of the
winning boat crew and the foot ball team TO
his. In both cases their fellows fell the
magnetism of success outside the realm OF
text books, which will DO poten as long as
manliness in man and womanliness In
woman shall be recognized az the founda-
ton Of character.

the moaning wind and drilling rain with

on his nerves. These surroundings were
productive Of frightful dreams after he
was wrapt In slumber.
Suddenly the boy leaped out of bed and
uttered a wild scream as he struggled with
a phantom on the darkness. He was dream

and one of them had awakened him by
bending down over his bed. In his dreams
the burglar by his bedside was pictured as
Misunderstanding individual, whose sharp
piercing eyes peered out from behind a
black mask as though they were serpent's.
In his struggles young Bowen pushed the
imaginary burglar to deep, plate-glass

THE WOMEN OF BOHEMIA.

They Have by Noble Effort Established
Gymnasium or Preparatory School for
Girls i'm Prague.
After a hard battle against ignorance
and prejudice the women of Bohemia
have succeeded SO far as to open gym
nasium, or preparatory school, for girls
in Prague.
Last summer when the question of
admitting women to the university was
raised. it awakened storm of ridicule
and opposition. But the women re-
fused to be alarmed or discouraged.
They drew up petition and presented
it to the reichsrath, where it was so
favorably received that there was no
longer any doubt about their admit
lance to the university upon the same
terms as the men.
SO much gained, the next question
arose as to how the girls were to gain
the preliminary education required for
the entrance examination to the univer-
sity. As yet the state would not open
to them the doors of single gym
nasium The soul of the new move
ment was Elisha Krasnohorska, the
most popular author in Bohemia. This
little woman, full of enthusiasm, said
LET us start gymnasium of our own"
This would be an easy task in America,
but not so under the despotic govern
ment of Austria. Merely to obtain per
mission to organize such school meant
an endless amount of labor. Miss
Krasnohorska, however. was equal tC
the task. She reasoned, pleaded, coax
ed, sent letters in all directions unit

WOMEN AND THEIR WORK.

NINE DE STAEL said that what she
was most proud of was the fact that she
had acquired seventeen trades, by any
one of which she could make liveli-
hood.
NEW industry for women is putting
lisle-thread feet in the legs of silk stock
ings, and New York girl, consignoi

week at it.
WOMEN are beginning to excel IN
handicrafts. Three classes of art work
stood out prominently at the exhibition
in London recently-these were the en-
broideries, wood carvings and leather
work.
IT is stated that there are over $500
women physicians now earning good
| living by their practice in this couttry.
In thirteen states women physicians
have been employed in insane asylums,
reformatories.a and other public institu
| tions of which women are inmates.
THERE are 100000 factory girls in

women have been but family recog-
nized by the benevolent agencies. 1t
has been estimated that fer every

for the benefit of men. While $780,
900 has been given by government for
technical education of men and boys,
nothing has been done toward the tech

A CONTEMPORARY suggests as new
pursuit for women, that they should
learn the use of the turning lathe. 1t
says it is a pleasant and profitable en-
ployment, as lathes can be secured that
require very little bodily exertion. 1t
also suggests as an avenue now open,
the making of the picture frames which
are now made to harmonic as much as
possible with the picture. For in

chessmen to bread-boards can be turned
