Porter's Statistics.

Superintendent Porter is responsible
for the statement that there are five
million more women than men in the
United States That would account
for the increasing number of unmar-
ried females, but it is hardly safe to
take Porter's word for it. That the
census is grossly inaccurate has been
fairly proven, and as an addition to the
statistics of population in this coun-
try is utterly worthless. That the
female population is unevenly dis
tributed has long been known, but
that there is any such difference be-
tween the sexes in the aggregate is
highly improbable.

Clever Women in Close COMPETE
tion With Unsophislicated
Beauty.

With the abolition of other social
preiudices, honored of time, modern
society has come to regard a disparity
of years as no sentimental obstacle
whatever in the wedding of "hearts
that beat as one.p All the old songs
and stories instilled an utter abhor-
renee of brides who plighted troth to
bridegrooms who discounted themsin
age. In such instances love, we were
told was wrath. Let the marriage
bells ring never SO blithely a horrid
clink of gold drowned all their
merry music; orange blossoms were
poisoned by unholy ambition, and
remorse, like hungry vui-
ture. only bided its time to devour the
maids who thus brazenly set romance
at naught. But all that is changed i'll
these days of feminine supremacy,
when parents obey their children,
husbands are meekly submissive to
wives. and the millennium threatens It's
advent at any moment, says the Ittats-

not a round dozen of years may be
counted between the respective ages
of Darby and Joan, and, still more
surprising, it appears TO make very

And, after all, this is not so astonish-

with considerations created by educa-
ton that impulse and instinct only
occasionally stir it's polished surface.
Men moved by conplexity OF inter-
ests find no inclination for the eXer-

lilah sheared Samson OF his locks, or
how the small mouse was able to DO

The Question Asking Habit.
Like most other things. curiosity
may be either virtue or a vice. With
its proper use we have no present
concern. We are only to consider one
of its most disagreeable manifesto
tions.
The English have an old proverb to
the effect that those who ask no ques-
tions will be told no lies 1t would be
well to bear this surly old proverb
ever in mind when tempted to make
idle inquiries. There are SO many
reasons why reticence is wise and
right, and the knowledge of the truth
might be harmful, that the temptation
to evade or deny the truth is very
strong to those whose politeness makes
it difficult for them to refuse to answer
even an irnpertinent question.
We NAV have no bad motives when
asking Mrs. A. how she became ac
quainted with Mrs. b.; we may not,
in fact. care much about the matter;
but it has occurred to us to wonder
how, why and where lady Of such
elegance and fashion as Mrs. A. should
have become so intimate with the
humble and unattractive Mrs. B. that
the one can rarely be met without the
other.
So far no harm has been done. AS
we have asked no questions, no mis-
chievous surmises have been set
afloat and no rudeness has been com
mitted. 1t may be that neither wo-
man would object to making known
the origin of their friendship; but it
may also be that TO tell it would be
to unfold a long story of sorrow or
misfortune.
Everyone detests the scandal
monger, but his occupation would be
gone without the aid of the question
er. The latter's motives may be inno-
cent, but the results of his vulgar inn
pertinence are often disastrous. Ev-
ery one who feels in himself a rising

William Miller Gives Up His Life
for His Horrible Deed.
New York, Nov. 2.-The murderer of
Minna Rauhauser, William Miller, was
found sitting bolt upright against tree
on the brink of the Palisades, between
Fort Lee and Coyetesville, with bullet
hole in his temple, two ugly stab wounds
in his throat and three small cuts directly
over his heart Apparently he had fled
directly to New Jersey after locking the
door ypon his lonely victim in the little
fiat at POI West Sixty-seventh street on
Friday morning.
An examination of the murdered wom-
ans wounds vas made by DIR. Conway,
Which revealed the fact that the story
of her struggle for life and her honor
had not been half told. The only cuts
that had been seen were those that had
nearly severed the girls head from her
body. DR.. Conway found no less than
eight others. There was another cut in
the thigh near the abdomen that sug-
gested Jack the Ripper Two fingers Of
the left hand We're nearly severed, as
though she had seized the knife blade
and he had drawn it through her hand.
All the wounds were ON the front of
the body and all were pointed down.

Nina Rauhauser was II years old and
was known as the prettiest girl in the

hair, blue eyes and regular features.

account of the moving OF Emerson

condensed the truth in the most out

tached, as they did not owe any rent,
but the landlady wished to hold them
for the rent until March 20. The man
did not fall into the water and get a

any OF the party held under peace
bond or lined.
They did not move until last Sat.
urday night, and when they did, set

were not seized, and when Mrs. ELI
OFT attempted to stop their moving
before March 25, the constable whom
she had summoned. told her he had
no authority TO act In the matter. as
the rent was paid up to date.
Mr.. Cline did not pay her Sl2, as
stated, for tho very simple reason that
he did not owe 1t. Neither Mr.. Cline
or his wife was fined, and to take the
case all through, there was nothing in
it except what originated In the dis

who was anxious to secure an item for
his paper, without any respect to its
truth or falsity.
