lainy have been unearthed by the Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty Go Children.
This society, best known by the name OF its
chief organizer, Elbridge 7. Gerry, has in
the II years of its existence rescued over
10000 children from cruel parents or guard

10000. and in all these fdhnd but five cases

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 Her
plea, OF rather that of her lawyers, was that
she had right to be hanged according to
the original sentence, and as the date fixed
was long passed she had right to be re.
leased. OF course the supreme court decid.
ed that the power Of pardon was, as the
constitution declares, an the discretion OF

proved-if human testimony can prove any.
thing-that this woman had deliberately
fed her brother poison from day to day, had
witnessed his hourly increasing misery, had
tenderly, soothingly raised his head and
with truly feminine or feline treachery had
pressed to his lips the cup of liquid death.
The same is charged against Mrs. Sham
and against hundreds Of other women, and
two important points must be borne in
mind. One is that the cases reported in the
papers and tried in court are certainly not
as one in three Of those in which the life
insurance companies have good cause tc
suspect foul play. The other is that of all
forms of murder that by poison-and most
of all that by slow poison, as in these cases
implies the most fiendish guilt. BY the
very nature of the case poison must gener
ally be administered by trusted one--most
often by q near relative, by wife, sister, or,
horrible to imagine, by mother or daugh.

MCKINLEY AND THE SUGAR TRUST,

A new. issue has been precipitated
into the Ohio campaign, which Gov
ernor Mckinley must meet. 1t is the
assertion Of Congressman George i. Per
kins, of Iowa, that "vast lump sums of
money" were offered by the sugar trust
to the Mckinley Committee to secure
legislation in their interests.
Concerning Congressman Perkins
assertion, In the Sioux City Journal,
that he has made public what no other
Congressman had dared to assert, thus
intimating that there are others who
know of the sugar trust bribes but who
have been afraid to speak out, the
Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette says:
MCKINLEY is a candidate for the
office of Governor of Ohio, and cannot
afford to remain silent under the impu-
tation. He is not member of Con-
gress but has many supporters in that
body and through them should demand
an investigation. The people of the
United States do not send men to Con-
gress to shield corruptionists guilty of
Offering bribes to representatives. The
case is more scandalous because mem
bers were approached while sitting on
the chief committee of the house of
representatives. How came these trust
officials to have such easy access to the
committee room2 By what right did
they know the provisions of the bill be-
fore it was read in Congress? Were
they there to help form that bill? 1t
looks that way"

THE EXTRA SESSION

1t will be agreed that If Congress is
to be called in extra session before the
time fixed by law, December 4tb) the
sooner the better. 1t will take the
House at least O month to elect a
speaker and organize its committees,
and no bills can be introduced and
referred until the committees are
appointed. 1t is not reasonable to
expect any legislation until the last of
September, even IL majority should
be developed in favor OF the line of
policy recommended by the President.
1t Is conceded on every hand that the
present crises is the result of unwise
and vicious legislation, every line of
which 10 the work of the Republican
party; but just what legislation is
probable to remedy the ills that beset
us is q question that no leader or
statesman, of any party, is able to
predict.
The present indications are that
party lines will not be drawn; and that
party caucuses will fail to hold the
members OF either party to any party
plan.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, who is the
ablest Republican Senator from the
Rocky Mountain region, says the issue
to be met and determined will dissi.
pate all party lines and that there will

The free silver men will not consent to
the repeal of the odious Sherman silver
law without some legislation recogniz-
ing silver as money, and providing for
its continued coinage. The advocates
of silver will first make a fight for free
coinage, on the present ratio, but if
they fail in this then proposition will
be submitted for free coinage of silver,
on the ratio of 20 to l, or on the basis of
the bullion value of the two metals In
the markets of the world.
Those who expect to see this question
settled in month will be disappointed.
There is u great debate to precede any
legislation, and with over three hun
dred statesmen in the popular branch
of Congress, half of them raw in legis-
lation, the prospect for speedy solu-
tion of the financial problem is not flat

tional 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-but enough. The inn
agination sickens. The treachery is worse
than the main crime II 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 certain life insurance company
paid the burial expenses of $40 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. sThe agent must personally
see and investigate each case before the APP
plication is admitted. The amount paid is
limited to $15 if the child is too young to
work-that is, so young that a profit might
be made Of its 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 or
be the payee of another's life insurance un-
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 wife could insure
her husbands life when she depended on
1t for her income, but 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.
1t 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 n war dance. But
the time is not yet. The legal proof is not
quite sufficient. JEROME JAcQUIN.

A WIFE WHO SAVED TOO MUCH.

Canton furnishes many exceptions to
the common rule. 1t is frequent
enough nowadays, when the men
desire to cut the matrimonial
bonds, to charge their wives with
extravaganza, love of dress and general
prodigality, but it remains for Canton
to furnish man who found his wife
too economical for family comfort.
Judge McCarty, after hearing the
evidence of grasping stinginess, Intro
duced by Canton husband, yesterday,
had no hesitation in granting a divorce,
on the grounds of "gross neglect of
duty"and the Judge is proverbial y care
full in granting divorce DEGREES.
The evidence showed that the hus-
band was thrifty, industrious and a
good provider, but that the wife was
too saving to allow him and his family
enough to eat, or even to provide her
self with proper clothing,

eled and stomach and intestines destroyed
by means unknown. His mother, Mrs.
Matte Shann, is now in prison charged
with both crimes The young mans life
wss 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 lss0-90 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 as most benevolent one, and only the
most suspicious person could have looked
for such evils as actually resulted. BY the
payment of mere trife-usually 8 to :
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 hastened
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 itwas
found that three companies were doing a
heavy business in child life insurance,
1t 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

the case OF army nurse pensions, by de-
Gliding thst the women who superin-
tended the preparation of food in the
diet kitchens of the war are entitled to
pensions, equally with those who nurs-
ed the sick and wounded. The diet
kitchens, connected with the camps
and hospitals, were established through
the efforts OF Mrs. Annie Wittenmyer
and the women employed were ladies,
who substituted delicate soups and ap-
petizing dainties for hard tack and
bacon, thereby saving the lives of tens
of thousands who would otherwise have
died for lack of proper nutriment.

WHY?

Why do you forget so often?
Why do you speak words that you SO often
regret?
Why do you take up with new acquaint-
anees, forgetting old friends?
Why do you not use clear judgment instead
of too often acting upon impulse?
Why do you persistently neglect your health
when it is your duty to take special care oft?
Why are you so careless when a sudden chill
headache, tired feeling and general disgust
with life come over you?
Why do you not stop to think that little
timely caution of the right kind VIII overcome
all these troubles and put you in possession of
good health and feelings once more?
Why do you not remember that the pest
physicians, scientists and the leading people of
the land all recommend pure whisky as the
proper thing TO take at such times?
Why do you not recall the fact that there is
only one pure medicinal whisky known to the
world, that it is exceedingly popular. that it
has been in use for twenty years, and that it
is Dufy's Pure Malt?
Why do you not denounce any druggist
grocer or dealer who tries TO offer you some
other or inferior whisky, saying it is just as
good?
Why do you not always insist upon having
just what you require, just what you desire
and just what you know to be the purest. the
best and most efficient?
