Only One FniIing.

If what DR.. Forbes Winslow says about
kleptomania is true. many unfortunate
women are the victims of injustice Dr.
WinsIow is an eminent London specialist
in nervSus diseases. In a recent article
in the Pail Mall Gazette he gave to the
public some interesting facts respecting
kleptomaniacs. There are women who
are afflicted with a sort of moral in
sanity They are seized with sudden
and uncomfortable desire to take articles
which do not belong to them and hide
them Very many women thus afflicted
are found in insane asylums. As rule,
they are women who suffer from physical
weakness, or nervous disorder of some
sort.
They know, of course, that the articles
they take do not belong to them, but they
are not conscious of the fact that they
are committing a criminal offense DR..
winslow says that, curiously enough,
women so afflicted are as a general thing.
honest and truthful in all other respects.
They have only this one failing, that of
taking and hiding things which do not
belong to them. Most of the women so
afflicted take things for which they haye
no use, and of which they make no use.
They simply hide them.
Men are never afflicted with klepto-
mania. DR.. winslow says he has never
found keptomaniac among men. And it
is not difficult to distinguish klepto-
maniac from a thief.
+ No doubt many women arrested as
shop lifters'' are kleptomaniacs. Women
arrested for stealing. therefore, should
have the question of their sanity inquired
into before being pronounced guilty and
punished.

From Quitman (Ga) Fress Press Oem).

All thinking men see that if this coun-

would be a financial panic such as the

 The attorney-general has been asked to appoint an assistant to take charge Of the prosecution of the viOlators of tho prohibition law, as the county attorney has refused to interfere himself. So far the attorney general has been unable to find reputable attorney in Wichita who is willing to assume the duties of the po- sition.

A DEADLOCK.
The Situation Between the Carpet Manufac-
 turers and Weavers


 Philadelphia, Pa, July 24.--The situa- tion between the ingrain carpet manu- facturers and the striking weavers has assumed the nature of a deadlock. Both sides are awaiting developments and overtures from the other, and both are equally confident of their ability 10 hold out.
 While eighteen of the manufacturers have already signed the 71a per cent ad vance scale, there are as many more who refuse to do SO and in this number are included the largest of the mills. The manufacturers who refuse to sign the scale, however, are practically in favor of paying the increase demanded on De cember 1.
 If a compromise shall be arrived at it will probably be in the form of the manu- facturers agreeing to grant the advance at an earlier date. The strikers are re- ceiving sympathetic letters from individ- uals and organiza tions outside of the labor organizations in addition to proffers of help from labor unions.

London, July 24.-The Daily News will say tomorrow that the Japan govern ment has intimated it's desire that China should pay the war indemnity to Ja- pans agent in London. The paper will add that this is rather a surprise and has somewhat displeased the French and Russian financiers, who are finding the money. Negotiations have already been opened concerning the remittance of the money from France and its custody here, but in the present plethoric condition of the government there is no great desire felt for taking the responsibility for han ding the money. Two important houses who were consulted declined to handle the money. The paper will further say it learns from another source that part of the fund has already been deposited in the Bank of England, but that it has been enabled to confirm this.
