LAUGH BETRAYs MURDER.
The Funeral Is stopped and the
Corpse Examined.

from the Philadelphia Record
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June IA most re-
markable murder was discovered to-day
Just as the remains of the murdered man
were being borne TO the grave. The sus-
victim are now in jail
The dead man is Andrew Nocksta, a
boarding boss Of this city, and the suspect
Is Anthony GimitiZ, orc Of the hoardcrs.
Gimitiz, IL appears. is in love with YOck-
sta 5 wife, Annie, and il is believed NV
the police that they planned the murder,
which was executed with fiendish skill.
The men We're miners in the Blackman
shaft, and worked in adjoining openings.
The police believe that on Friday after
noon Gimitiz went to Yocksta's cham
Der and shot him twice i'm the breast and
once in the forehead. Death was instant.
In order TO cover up his crime and pre-
vent detection, the murderer burned the
dead mans face and hands with his mine
lamp so that hardly feature was rec
ogniza BILE This was to give the impress
sion that an explosion had occurred Then
he piled mass Of coal upon the body
II is known that Gimitiz ran from the
mine shouting that his friend had been
killed by an explosion and a fan of coal.
The body was dug out and sent home,
where the widow received it with hysteri-
cal grief The funeral was to have
occurred to-day, but at the last moment
was stopped.
Undertaken Roman. who had dressed the
body on Friday night, thought at the time
1t was strange there were so few bruises
after death had been caused by fall of
coal. This morning his suspicious in
creased when he saw Gimitiz and the wild
ow laughing together and apparently as
happy as it was possible to be
These suspicious warned him. and he
went to see DR.. Nornagris, a friend OF
the murdered man, who advised him TO
postpone the funeral. The two went
TO the house, and the undertaken said il
would be impossible to bury the body until
a doctor had examined it. The widow
and Gimitiz objected They said it was
time for the funeral, and the pallbearers
were just preparing to carry the coffin to
the hearse. The undertaken, however in
sisted. and at last they allowed the doc
tor to look at the body alone He soon
discovered that a murder had been COM
mitted. But not to give warning to Gimi-
tiz, he announced that the funeral could
not take place until he prepared some pa
pers. Then he sent word to the police, and
soon Gimitiz was in custody. He broke
down when arrested, and between his sobs
said he was innocent. 1t was not until
afterwards that the wife was arrested,
suspicion being aroused by what the I'M
dertaker saw, and some words dropped by
Gimitiz. The police have found cartridges
in his trunk, but cannot find the pistol.

unique-even the manner OF conduct
ing the exercises. Before the particu-
lar lobbyist announced on the pro-
gram speaks each member of the So
ciety is required to name the particular
hobby which she thinks best suited to
the speaker. The guesses set the meet
ing in a glow of geniality, and that they
frequently fall short of the right an
swer adds all the more to the merri-
ment.
The officers of the Hobby Club are
Miss Blanche Levi, president; Miss
Carol Massman and Miss Sue Stuart,
vice presidents; Miss Helen G.. Lovett,
secretary and treasurer. Upon these
slight shoulders rest the responsible
ties and trusts of this novel organiza-
ton, whose delightful meetings are
among the brightest pages in Normal
School annals.
In one OF the finely equipped labora-
tories, which to every visitor are de-
lightful and inspiring revelation Of the
educational advantages which lie with
in the reach of the women Of to-day,
one comes upon the serious and digni-
fed special physics and chemistry
class. This organization, which meets
each Tuesday and Thursday, is COM
posed of students who, desiring to pur-
sue these studies beyond the limit pre-
scribed by the school curriculum, have
persuaded Prof. Skidmore, who directs
the department, to give them more Of
his special subjects. Prof. Skidmore's
long experience with girl students has
made him wise and he has cheerfully
given them the freedom Of the labor
atories. Among them is the right to use
the fine apparatus which the professor
himself employees in demonstration,
and which has, up to the present time,
been limited to his use. The man who
thinks that girls are not so fond of re-
search as men and less enthusiastic as
scientists, should visit this class of busy
special workers enthusiastically pur-
suing under the guidance of their
teachers investigations which are be-
You'd those generally supposed to in
terest young women. The class has not
found it necessary to have officers.

Alteration of wealth.

A very serious and noticeahly grow
ing evil, which 1t behooves all right"
minded parents to carefully consider
and endeavor to eradicate, is the I'M
mense Importance that is attached 10
wealth and its Injuries by the chill
dren of this generation in what Is
known as the smart set" 1t would be
amusing, If II we're not sad, to see the
exaggerated respect which these ignor-
ant and necessarily discriminating
little beings feel for money and mon
ey's worth and how they choose their
friends, not because they are lovable'
but because they are in a certain set
and because their parents are known
for the position acquired by large pos
sessions. Even the little ones esteem
it an honor to be among the intimates
of those who possess the lions share
of this worlds goods. 1t is a curious
and melancholy study to note how this
faint Of the almighty dollar" runs
through modern childish life.

A pretty frock or coat is despised un-
less it comes from we'll known and
consequently high-priced establish
ment; while many people of moderate
means find that they must give up en-
pertaining their children's friends al

ical estimation with those whose lux
urious table appointments, flowers and
gifts make a child's party an affair of
absurd cost and consideration. Par
ents have only themselves to thank for
this condition Of affairs. Children are
essentially imitators, and it is the
growing alteration of wealth and its
representatives by their elders that
perverts the minds of the coming gen.

vision was made by Massachusetts, for
the education Of girls, and public
schools were established in Boston for
boys one hundred and thirty-fve years
before girls were admitted to learn
reading and writing for part Of the
year." When Mrs. Willard, in 1921, pre-
scented to the New York legislature the
first plan for the higher education Of
girls proposed in the United States, she
very scrupulously stated that she
wished to produce no college bred fe-
males"
The annual commencements Of our
Girls High and Normal Schools are as
welcome as the June roses. The Amerl-
can eagle spreads its wings in pardon
able pride when one after another
pretty girl mounts the platform to de-
liver graduation thesis. Yet only
fifty years ago Lucy Stone was shut out
of the New England College, to which
her brother was admitted and, journey
ing to Oberlin, extraordinarily liberal
in governmental policy for those days,
when she graduated at the head Of her
class, she was awarded the honor Of a
commencement essay, provided she
would agree to let a man read it! She
didn't!
Fifty years ago is long way off.
The world moves! In Philadelphia to-
day twenty-three hundred students at

beautiful building dedicated to Phila-

725 more names are enrolled,
Every phase OF the life of a large
school is interesting. 1t has been we'll
said, however, that the character and
influence of a school may be pretty ac-
curately determined by the number and
character of the Independent organiza-
lions Of the students which grow out OF
the work or the play Of the school. If
the atmosphere of the school is stimu-
lating and the teachers inspiring the
students catch the infection and sup
plement the work Of the class room
with that of special organizations. In
many professional schools self-interest,
apart from intellectual or social gain,
demands such organization Of stu
dents. Clubs, quizzes and societies are
a familiar adjunct of medical and law
schools. Often the pure love Of learn
ing born of contact with the school
whose spirit is intellectually stimulat-
ing determines the number and charac-
ter Of the students organizations, or
simply affection for the place-that in
tangible something that makes the
students love to linger about its halls
and delight in pleasant memories which
are apparently aroused by the rooms
themselves.

Badges of Matrimony Abroad.

Badges of matrimony were worn by
all other nations, but tabooed by Amer
lean women. The Germans wear lit
tie cap or hood, of which they are very
proud, and looming the cap" is feat
ure of the wedding day among the peas
ants of certain localities. The Rus
slams are always seen, even in the hot
test weather, with thick cloth OF
dark hue twisted about their heads. In
New Guinea the young woman lets her
hair hang about her shoulders, but
when she is married this is cut short.
Chinese matrons braid their hair like
a helmet. In Wadai the wives color
their lips by tattooing them with the
thorns of the acacia, then rubbing with
iron filings. In parts of Africa the
married women perforate the outer
edges of their ears and lips and stick
rows of grass stalks in them, and
among a certain Monaghan tribe, the
Manthes, the women wear suspended
from the ear little basket full of cot
ton TO which spindle is attached. The
universal American wears what she
likes. regardless whether it be matron-
" or not, and the daughters will Sc
lect articles suitable only to married
women.

after school hours. These organiza-
lions are not the outcome Of the sug-
gestions or the direction Of the faculty.
They seem to have developed out Of
desire for increased knowledge which
tho spirit Of the school seeks to stilnu-
late. While the societies are of spon-
taneous growth the faculty Of the school
are not uncoDcerned In their organiza-
ton, Some Of them depend for their
existence upon the cooperation Of the
teachers.
Each Of the Normal School Clubs has
an individuality OF Its own, but by
right Of age and the number of Its
members the Hobby Club stands first.
For simple, unconventional enjoy
ment the Hoby Club is unique. It's
name suggests Its purpose. 1t aims to
allow each of its members to air her
hobby at least once a year. Is your
hobby absurd? Do friends intimate
polltely-that 1t is a bore? In the
Hobby Club 1t receives espectful-seri-
Gus attention The fourishing mem
bership allows of no end Of hobbies
They canter, they trot, they pace, they
gallop and run from light and frivolous
volumes of Darwin and Spenser to pom
derous newspaper paragraphs on the
new woman" AS a rule the meekest-
faced girls scorn any but the most Wig
orous hobbies; leaving humble confess
sions Of weakness to their apparently
strong minded sisters.
Everything about the Hobby Club is
