truth of the adage that "a woman who
is not more Pittai is more pitiless than
man.
This sort Of comment is made by
some newspaper on every criminal
trial in which women display their
interest by attending upon the pro-
ceedings of the court The men who
write the articles profess TO be aston
ished and Mortified at what the
Times calls such "indecent curiosity
as if it were a novel aud eXtra0r-
dinary revelation Of the feminine
character; but no trial that bears
any resemblance to the case of Harris
occurs in any part Of the civilized world
without provoking the keencst aud
liyeliest feminine interest. Women are
not stirred at all 10y many Of the occur
rences which agitate men, but when "a
case involving life and death comes up,
a tragic ease, and more especially when
it has about it a mystery i'm which a
woman is concerned, they follow its
course with an intensity of interest
greater than men feel. But il is not an
indecent curiosity. Il is rather akin to
the fascination which fictitious TRACE
dy on the stage has for women, and for
women more than men. They like TO
follow the development Of the plot
The details Of medical testimony
brought out in trial like Harris's are
interesting for them as incidents i'm its
progress to which it might be indelicate
to refer to in ordinary conversation,
bat which the fOrmality aud solemnity
Of the place and the proceedings serve
to cleanse for their ears.
1t is luxury for many good women
to have their teuderest feelings of sym
pathy aroused. They enjoy going to
funerals and wiping away tears shed in
unison with those Of sorrowing rela-
tives. The plays that wiring the heart
are more attractive for them than the
comedies which provoke merriment.
The disposition displayed by Roman
women at gladiatOrlal shows and Span
ish women at bull fights cannot be de.
scnbed as unfeminine. They delighted
ia having their feelings reused to the
highest pitch, and in their excitement
they were piuless, or rather they de-
manded the most pitilul sights in order
that they might enjoy the more the
luxury Of pity.

tide LAND PROBLEMS
Board of Equalization and APP
pea1s Listening to
Arguments
Abutting Owners Right to Pur-
chase to Deep Water
Discussed
Resolution Limiting This Right
viii Probably Not Be
Adopted

The state board of equalization and
appeal was in session all day yester-
day, with Austin Mires, of Ellens-
burgh, in the chair, and Secretary of
State Allen Weir, State Auditor T. NJ
Reed, and c. IL. Warner, Of COlfaX, in
attendance, being the full membership
Of the board with the exception Of b.
l.. Sharpstein, of Walla Walla.
The resolution adopted the preceding
day, recognizing the patent line as the
shore line "wheH made Of metes and
bounds" and accepting the surveys of
the Whatcom county tide land APP
praisers, was modified by eliminating
the words above quoted, limiting the
resolution to the city of Whatcom.
The afternoon session was devoted to
hearing arguments on the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the board interprets
the law to mean that all parties having
the preference right as abutting owners
to purchase tide lands Of the first class,
are restricted to the lots or blocks next
lying Immediately ia front Of or ad-
Joining the lands owned 10y said shore
land owners or abuttCrS; the said lots
or blocks lying cOniOrmable in area
and designation to the official plats Of
the land surveys and confined within
the limitations Of the first tier OF lots
or blocks as Aforesaid.
In other words, the adoption Of this
resolution would leave the abutting
upland owner with no right TO pur-
chase the strip Of tide lands out to deep
water over the plated tide lands, but
only 10 the iir5t lateral street beyond
the shore line. Many members of the
WhatcOm county bar appeared tuargue
on the resolution. The prepOnderance
of the argument was against the rcSO-
luton. The board adjourned without
taking action on its adoption, but it
has been informally decided Chat the
resolution will not be adopted.
Hon. Allen Weir expects to return to
Olympia This morning on business. II
he does Inc will return next Sunday
and be- present with the board when
the first contest Is heard next Monday.
The case set for trial on that day IT. that

WOMEN AT MURDER TRIALS


The Propriety Of it Discussed Philo-
sophically
The two prolonged murder trials re-
Gently before the superior court were
attended throughout by many ladies,
who followed the proceedings with as
much interest as any Of the large num-
ber Of spectators that crowded the court
room almost to sufIOcaton during the
sessions Of the court, In the Swiioos
case there was but little Of the testi-
mOny bearing upon the gastly details
of the killing. \ well-kuOwH attorney,
i'm an address delivered in the NJ. f..
pulpit, soon after the trial, declared
that the spectators who were drawn to
the court room went because their
minds delighted in hearing the details
Of bloodshed and crime, and that the
result Of their attendance there would
be blOodshed on Belingham Bay.
In the Long trial just closed, the tes-
timony throughout was Of a more
sensational nature, The details Of the
murder were more horrible, and in ad-
ditiOn there was much salaclOus evil
dence introduced. During the progress
Of the case in behalf of the state but lit
tie Of an Objectionable nature trans
pired, and the attendance Of ladies in
creased daily. When James Hamilton
Lewis opened for the defense, however,
he sent many ladies scampeTing out Of
the court room. Their places we're
taken by others, however, and the
number in attendance increased rather
than diminished as the case proceeded.
The manifestation Of interest on the
part Of the ladies has been the subject
of much comment in the community
The same subject has recently been
quite thoroughly discussed by the press
.of New York city. During the pro-
gress Of the recent Jarlyle Harris trial
there, a case eXceiiing the Long case i'm
obscene evidence aud sickening detail,
hundreds Of ladies' Of high social stand
ing crowded into the court room daily.
The Times and other papers proceeded
To attribute their attendance TO un-
wholesome and indecent curiosity on
their partn The New York sun, how.
ever, discussed the qu stiJn in q philo,
sophical manner, and pointed out the
reasons Of wOmen's interest I'm trials oi

tracts from this editorial:

yesterday from Olympia where he had

some years ago congress passed a
law authorizing the secretary Of war Ia
establish harbor lines at the various
ports Of the United States, and under
the provisions Of this act lines have
been laid in various Eastern cities
Mr.. Richards continued:
The state commission il anxious Ia
have the cooperation Of the war de-
partment so that the lines, as now
laid, may be approved both by the
state and the general government,
For should the secretary Of war at some
later time lay lines differing from ours

The erear Northern'a Low Grade.

The ST. Louis Republic states that
the Great Northern will reach the sum
nit Of the Rocky mountains with a
maximum grade Of one per cent to the
mile, and this means that an engine on
the Great Northern Will be able 10 pull
more than twice as many loaded cars
over the mountains as an engine of
equal power will be able 10 pull ON any
other Pacific road. Everything else
has been subordinated 10 ibis end in
building the road, and la order to Sc
cure low grades unusually deep and ex-
pensive cuts have been excavated, high
bridges have been built or a detour has
been made wherever 1t was necessary
to keep the maximum grade down to
50. 50 feet to the mile ft Is strange that
the last Pacific railroad built should
have been able TO secure this advant-
age.
