Says the Philadelphia Ledger: It
is a curious fact that far more homi-
cides are committed in the United
States by persons who have employ
ment than by those who are unem-
ployed. The census of homicides in
the United States taken in 1890 by
Frederick II. Wines, special agent on
pauperism and crime, a careful in
vestigator of these subjects, shows that
those charged with this crime who
had employment at the time of their
arrest numbered 5659. Those who were
unemployed numbered 1925. If these
figures are reliable, and there is no
reason to challenge their accuracy,
since they are matters of record in
the courts, it would be an unsafe gen
eralization to say that crime like
that of Prendergast has any connec-
tion with the "hard times" and the
"age of discomfort"

Overproduction has become a sub
ject of serious concern with those in
terested in several prominent indus
tries of the West. There is pros
pective decrease in CALIFORNIA; vintage,
little money in cattle raising, and
horse raising has similarly slumped.
A few days ago the Missouri State
Horticultural Society occupied itself
in serious consideration of the topic.
Secretary Goodman said that so many
millions of apple trees have been
planted in the past few years that soon
there will be portions of the country
where it will not pay to gather the
fruit. Something like 100, 900 acres
have been planted with apple trees in
the past three years in Southern llli-
nois, Missouri and Arkansas One
speaker thought the fruit business
would meet general failure soon and
later would become a success with a
few after many had gone to the wall.

Maryland is in fair way to be
blessed with the good roads for which
the State Road League has been so vi
gorously agitating. The bill which
has been prepared by its committee
for submission to the Legislature IL
the result of much labor by engineers
and scientific road builders. Its
thoroughness may be judged from the
fact that it contains thirty-four sec
tions The duties of State road and
highway engineer are first defined. 1t
is provided that he shall be provided
with suitable offices and equipment,
and be empowered to employ such en-
gineers, clerks, and other assistants at
snch salaries as the Board of Public
Works may approve. Upon the "p-
proyal of the board the State engineer
shall be empowered to purchase stone
breaking machines, to set them up ut
convenient places, and to supply stone
to county boards at cost price The
bill then provides for the appointment
of a road board in each county. Ihe
board shall elect its President and
Secretary and make its own bylaws
II shall have general charge of the con
struction and maintenance ofthe roads
and bridges. The board shall adVer-
tise for proposals for any work to cost

materials costing over $500 shall also
be purchased by contract. The bllI

Terro Haute, Ind, is about the only
American city in which the anti,vac-
cinationists have been able to gain al.
herents, AYERS the Chicago Herald.
There have been anti-vaccination
troubles in London and in the foreign
quarters of New York City, but in both
cities the compulsory vaccination law
has eventually been inforced. In
Terre Haute, however, the courts have
decided that the Board of Health can.
not compel compliance with the local
ordinance requiring all school children
to be vaccinated.

BURNED HIS WIFE.
Then Stayed Drunk for Week While
She Suffered without Food or Aid.

The ncighbors OF Michael Hennessy, OF
New Milford. Coun.. an old farmer who has
long been kr0wn AS Il quarrelsome fellow,
had not seen either him or his wife for a
week. The bleating Of the cattle in the barn
annoyed the nnighbors SO much that they
visited the premises, where they found Hem
nessy's wife unconscious in the house with
out clothing, her body mass OF burns, the
flesh in many places being rolled up. Her
husband was lying on the floor, stupid from
drink.
When Mrs. Hennessy was revived she told
the neighbors that her husband, q week ago,
while drunk, took hold of her and dragged
her to the open fireplace and pushed her in
over the blazing logs, setting her clothing
afire. He looked on with delight while she
burned and laughed at her agony. He re-
fused to call in medical assistance afterwards,
and she had suffered untold pain for Il week.
A physician who attended the woman says
that gangrene has SGT in, AMI that she cannot
live. HenneSsy has been arrested.

our oft-repeated professions and by the em

In 1852 he was recalled in order to
assume command of a division in the
Cr1mean war, where he distinguished

o In such a manner Athat he was
created senator. In 1859 he made him.

ton of 1871, he was elected president in
1878. His government was a strong
one, aiming at the rebuilding of French
power. He resigned in 1879, and has
since lived in retire ment.
