CHILDREN SEE THEIR MOTHER SHo1

CHILDREN SEE THEIR MOTHER SHOT.
Clara Gregory, thirty years old, was
shot in tho temple last night by her
husband, in New York. The woman
died in the ambulance on the way to
the Roosevelt Hospital. Jealousy was
the motive of the murder. The woman
refused to live with her husband, ow-
ing to his conduct. He made his way
to her sisters house last-night, where
Mrs. Gregory was staying with her
children. He crew revolver, and,
standing on the opposite side of the
room from where she was, fired two
shots. They both missed, and she
started for the door, when he fired
again, and the bullet struck her in the
right eye.
The little girl Hattie ran to her
mother screaming, and caught her
around the neck as she was falling, but
the child was not able to sustain the
weight for more than minute, and
the woman fell to the floor unconscious,
with blood pouring from the wound in
her head. AS soon as the father began
to fire at the mother, Jennie, the Oldest
child, ran down the stairs, and made
her way to the police station, where
she informed the police that her mother
had been shot. Patrolman hurried to
the house, and found the woman un-
conscious in the hallway, and called an
ambulance from Roosevelt Hospital.
When the ambulance arrived, tho We
man was placed within it, but died be-
fore it had gone more than few blocks.
Immediately after Gregory had shot
his wife he ron downstairs and disap-
peared.
Professor Dobbs visited the police
station, and, after examining the body,
said that Gregory had really committed
a double murder, for the woman would,
in two months, have become mother.
Jesse NJ. Gregory, the murderer was
found in his furnished room at No. 374
Hudson street this morning suffering
from three bullet wounds and cut on
his left wrist. He had inflicted the
wounds in vain effort to end his life.
Gregory confessed his crime and said
that he killed his wife because OF jeal-
ousy. He said he knew that she had
been unfaithful to him. 1t is not
known whether his wounds will prove
fatal or not. He was removed to the
hospital a prisoner.

According to Jeanette Wilder, the

one of DR.. Max Nordau's degenerates.
She Is the creation Of a writer who Is

world takes her as something that real
ly exists ITO be sure. there are plenty
Of women with 'pasts' and with 'yearn-
ings,' and there always have been and
probably always will be, but 1 doubt II
any woman outside Of an insane asylum
talks the rubbish about spiritual I'M
pacts, tells that we are tones Of one
chord and about the vile slavery OF
marriage, as do the women OF Miss
Pendered and Grant Allen. Writers or
this sort do not represent the women
of the day any more than the painted
women of the, streets represent the
women. OF good society. The jaundtced
writers of The Yellow Book cannot
be expected to give us pictures of
healthy lives. Their tastes run to worm
eaten fruit. They have no liking for
hat which is red with the hue of health.
They prefer the yellow hue of decay.
Dr. Nordau is quite right when he calls
1t disease. The heroines of The Yellow
Book of 'Discords' and of .Wreckage'
might have been taken from Lam
brosa's study of the female offender.
If they exist outside of their creators s
brains, their cases will be found re-
corded in scientific studies of criminol-
ogy or in the ordinary police reports.
The new woman as find her outside
of the pages of fiction is an industrious,
healthy-minded, healthy-bodied young
person, with a certain amount of inde-
pendence who cares more for out-of-
door sports than for indoor follies and
who if she has work to do does it and
does not waste her time in telling about
it,

One of the strongest arguments in
favor of dress reform, especially of the
bifurcated skirt, Is its economy. One
reason why women wear out more
shoes than men do is because they are
much shorter steppers. The average
woman will take about one-third more
steps. than man will to progress a
given distance, hence her shoe soles
come In contact with the ground 50 per
cent. oftener than do those of a mans s
hoes. Even with the same material
and quality of shoe, she would natural
ly wear out three pairs to a mans two,
at least at the bottoms. allowing a
slight discount on this average for the
lighter weight Of the woman's body.
She takes shorter steps for two reasons.
First, she doesn't care to stride with
long. military step, and, second, her
skirts impede the motions of the knee,
and to take long steps would be quite
uncomfortable. This difficulty will,
however, disappear as soon as the
new habiliment Of the new woman
comes into general vogue; and with Its
disappearance Will come a marked de-
cline in the annual total Of milady' s
snoe plils. 81. IL.
