The lot of Lizzie Borden for the rest of
her life cannot be an enviable one. The
recollection of the fiery ordeal through
which she has passed will try the iron
self control of even this woman with the
blood of 10 generations of stern Puritan
ancestors in her veins. This inheritance
it must have been that kept her up SO
bravely during her trial. The trial will
go on record as one of the most famous
in the history of murder cases-as IA
nous as that of Carlyle Harris. Let us
hope now that this extraordinarily nervy
girl has been pronounced guiltless no
human being will ever manifest to her
by any word or sign that the accusation
against her is remembered. It is enough
that she has been pronounced guiltless
by jury Of 10 men in unanimous YER
dict. It is moro than enough that she
will always have to remember the fright
full ordeal to which she has been sub.
jected. It will haunt her like night.
mare the rest of her days.

two Important points must be borne in
mind. One is that the cases reported in the
papers and tried in court are certainly not

eled and stomach and intestines destroyed
by means unknown. His mother, Mn.
Matte Sham, is now in prison charged
with both crimes The young mans life
was insured, his mother being named as
beneficiary. His father had died but few
months before under suspicious circum-
stances, being insured for the benefit of the
widow. The insurance company has paid
the claim in the case of John Sham, but
Mrs. Sham will be tried on the charge of
murder.
In the winter of 1sS9-90 a regular panic
was created in London by publications on
the horrors resulting from child life insur-
ance. The original plan of insuring infants
was most benevolent one, and only the
most suspicious person could have looked
for such evils as actually resulted. By the
payment of a mere trif1e-usually 3 to 5
cents per week-the parents were insured a
sum varying from $40 to $50 in case of the
child's death, the design being that they
should thus insure money enough to pay
the burial fees and expenses of sickness.
Yet it was proved beyond the possibility of
doubt that hundreds of drunken or brutal
parents deliberately calculated on the
speedy death of their infants and FASTENED
that death by means which it sickens one
to think of, much more to describe.
OF course these revelations set the Amer
lean authorities to investigating, and it was
found that three companies were doing q
heavy business in child life insurance.
It was also found, however, that these
companies work on an extremely cautious
and conservative system and never insure
where their agents suspect an intention to
commit fraud or crime. Yet in spite of the
companies precautions few cases of vii
lainY have been tunearthed by the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
This society, best known by the name of its
chief organizer. Elbridge T. Gerry, has in
the II years of it's existence rescued over
sc, 600 children from cruel parents or guard
ians and investigated the cases OF about
1SO, 900, and in all these found but five cases
| in which life insurance cut any figure. In
| New York~city about $4,000 children were
insured in 1892.
| Many readers remember the case of Mrs.
Victor, who died few years ago in the
Ohio state prison. She had been condemned
to death, and when Governor Hayes Cater
president) committed her sentence to i'm
prisonment for life she stoutly denied his
right to do SO without her consent. Hel
plea, or rather that of her lawyers, was that
/ she had right to be hanged according K
the original sentence, and as the date fxe6
was long passed she had right to be re
leased. OF course the supreme court decid

tonal attitude Of womanly tenderness, she
mixes the supposed cooling or healing
draft, she raises the sufferers head, per-
haps rests it upon her bosom, and while the
languid eyes of the invalid look up with
loving trustfulness-b enough. The i'm
agination sickens. The treachery is worse
than the main crime. It implies the pre-.
meditation of devil.
Yet life insurance is good thing. Even
the insurance of infants in New York city
has proved to be on the whole productive
of much more good than evil. On one day
recently a certain life insurance company
paid the burial expenses of 379 children
whose little bodies must otherwise have
gone to the potter's field. And the search
is so thorough that, as the company claims,
it is now impossible for cruel frauds to be
perpetrated. The agent must personally
see and investigate each case before the ap-
plication is admitted. The amount paid is
limited to SIS if the child is too young to
work-that is, so young that a profit might
be made of it's death. The premium in
creases from year to year so as to create an
increasing interest in the child's life, and
finally the agent who makes the weekly
collection must see the child each time and
report if there is anything suspicious.
Graveyard Insurance" was heading
which had great run in the papers few
years ago, and many painful facts were
brought to light while the interest con-
tinued. The original rule of law was that
no one could insure the life of another OF
be the payee of another's life insurance I'M
less such beneficiary possessed an interest
in the continued life of the insured as great
as any possible gain derivable by said in
sured's death. Thus a wife could insure
her husbands life when she depended on
it for her income but a husband could not
insure his wife's life unless she had an in
come on which he depended for living
and that income terminable at her death.
The relaxation of this rule has wrought
great evil.
It is hard saying, but as human nature
now is we cannot risk the giving Of one
person an interest in another persons
death. There are many, many people for
whom the temptation is too great. All the
large life insurance companies have secret
agents at work collecting facts such as are
here limited at. Some day these evidences
will be published, and the world will stand
aghast. The skeletons will walk out of
many closets and have a war dance. But
the time is not yet The legal proof is not
quite sufficient. JEROME JACQU1N.

Protection Against Snakes

Once more Sir Joseph Fayrer has urged
upon the government of India the expedi-
ency of circulating among the people of In
dia information which would enable them
to take better precaution against snake
bites and the attacks of wild beasts. More
than ID years ago he provided the govern
ment with pictures of the most destructive
of snakes, and he thinks that if copies of
these were struck off and widely distrib-
uted people could not fail to recognize the
poisonous species and destroy them.

What They Think of 1t.

The New York Herald has formed q
consensus of foreign opinion about the
Worlds fair by making collection of
extracts from newspapers abroad. They
are chiefly from French, German and
British papers, though one bitter COM
plant comes from Bombay, India, that
tho fair managers themselves TRY to
make as much of the almighty dollar as
they can and squeeze it out of the I'M
fortunate people who have unconsciously
placed themselves in their clutches" On
the other hand, the correspondent Of
the London Globe declares that one Of
the biggest of the big things in con-
nection with this fair is its deadhead
list and that on a certain Sunday there
were not less than $4,000 admissions to
the grounds on passes. A Berlin cor
respondent afirms that the manage
ment of the fair would be glad to sell
the prizes to the highest bidder.
It is q pity when a woman writer is
caught deliberately lying. It somehow
goes against all newspaper women. We
regret, therefore, to see that the letter
of the lady correspondent of The London
Hawk is one tissue of spite and false
hood. She tells her paper, does this We
racious ''lady," that Mrs. Potter Palmer
regularly dresses in purple velvet and
wears diamonds to breakfast; that the
husband of this lady, who "leads 'sas-
siety' here in Chicago" is man that
"keeps drinking bar and hotel" By
the way, we wonder if it is any worse
for an American millionaire to keep a
hotel than for noble duke to run line
Of cabs in London or for a titled lady of
the British aristocracy to draw her in
come from a milliner shop? The woman
speaks of Mrs. Palmer's funny zen
deavors to ape the manners Of the Brit
ish aristocracy." If Mrs. Palmer had
no better manners than many of the
British aristocracy have, her country
men wouldn't own her.
The morsel Of truth and decency that
is found in the criticisms seems to be
that there was in the beginning a lack
Of the organization and foresight neces.
sary to conduct the fair in the best man.
