still incomplete. More than a score of as
sassinations have been brought home TO
this bloodthirsty wretch, and scarcely a
day passes that another is not added TO the
list Ii is doubtful If the murderer him
self knows the number of his victims He
nonchalantly tells the story of some fresh
tragedy 10 the examining magistrate from
time To time as the details recur TO his
diseased mind. Investigation in each case
SO far has produced full corroboration OF
the murderer's narrative.
The story of this man. who killed mere
ly for the sake of killing. should lie made
known throughout Chrstendom, for it
constitutes the most startling warning of
modern times against the criminal folly
of turning loose upon society an individ
ual subject 20 fits of homicidal mania.
Nacher who is only about 20 years old,
was at one time confined in an insane asy-
lum as dangerous monomaniac," but
was discharged rs fully cured. DIR. Gilbert,
the well known expert in mental diseases,
says that the physicians at the asylum re-
leased Vacher, although they knew he was
not fit to be at large, because they were
afraid of an outcry in the press against
the arbitrary confinement Of a citizen un-
der the pretext that he was insane.
That was three years ago. Since that
timc Nacher has wandered through the
country districts of France, leaving every
where n trail Of blood, but undetected,
even unsuspectcd, until by mere chance
he was caught almost redhanded near
Lyons about three weeks ago. Most of his
victims were shepherd boys and girls
whom he found tending their 1ocks in
lonely fields or on hillsidcs, but sometimes
he killed men and women.

MARY LYON, FOUNDER OF MOUNT HoLYoKE
COLLEGE.
add $50, 900 as soon as the alumn9 can
raise $3.50, 000 Two-thirds of this sum has
already been given by various Holyoke
graduates, and the rest of the alumn1
have recently been stirred up to complete
the sum
They will do It without doubt, for
Mount Holyoke women are noted for their
intense loyalty to the institution, which
has the proud title of mother of women's
colleges. :" Founded in 1887 at South
Hadley, Mass, il began its existence as
girls seminary at a period when the high
er education of girls was looked upon as
sort of foolish luxury But Mary Lyon, the
noble woman whose broad mentality and
splendid courage prompted her TO defy all
such Puritan prejudices founded on solid
principles of common sense an educational
monument which marks the date of the
emancipation Of the American woman.
1t is somewhat remarkable that the
lines along which Mary Lyon began TO
work go years ago should have been so
closely followed Mount Holyoke college
is today just what she intended it should
be, "a permanent institution consecrated
to the work of training young women To
the work of greatest usefulness; designed
TO be furnished with every advantage that
the state OF education i'm this country will
allow; to put within the reach of students
of moderate means such opportunities that
none can find better ones" These were
the words in which Mary Lyon expressed
her purposes concerning Mount Holyoke,
and they fit the college just as well now as
they did when they were spoken
LII, 10 Ia of
ed, for if it is anything it is progressive.
The words, with every advantage that
the state OF education in this country will
allow" provides for that and demands it.
So as the state of education has been bet.
tered the advantages of Mount Holyoke
have been increased Another idea in
Miss Lyons policy, the retention of which
has given to the college distinctive char
acter, was to divide the household work
among tho students Her design was not
TO teach domestic work to young women.
Home was the place to learn that, she
said But IL cut down the expense bills of
the students, added certain dignity to
labor and acted as IA constant check on
any attempt TO establish lines ofs caste
within the college walls.
1t Is this feature of Mount Holyoke
which makes its graduates respected
among sensible people. Thc young woman
who knows how 10 make bed as well as
n synthetic analysis, who is capable of
managing a broom as well as calculating
the time Of an eclipse is the sort OF young
woman whom you meet in Mount Hol-
yoke, and just the sort of young woman
Mary Lyon planned to send into the world
from the doors Of her seminary
This feature Of the college life has been
much misurdrrstood. and there are manv

What. then, viii the future bring
forthi We discover grave faults in
modern industrial. social and politi-
cal institutions not faults pointed
out by the individual critic, but those
which are universally conceded.
What changes will the future compel
to eradicate these flaws and bring
society nearer an ideali Thousands
of thoughtful! men and women,
quick to feel the sense OF duty OF our
generation to prosterity and future
civilization, have sought to answer
this question and, in consequence,
almost countless movements have
been inaugarated which their found
ers believe will one day produce a
better and higher order Of things.
The agitation, in its appeal to brain
and conscience, constitutes the law
of progress of our generation. The
man and woman well grounded in
the knowledge that there will come a
time of better conditions and who
feels conscientious duty toward
the future, will be slow to cast slurs
upon any new idea which claims to
offer remedy for the present evil.
Instead, he will give it careful ex-
animation, and only after it has fail
ed to pass the test of reason will he
condemn 1t. 1t is in this spirit that
study of all Social Problems and
their proposed remedies should be
appreciated. 1t should never be for
gotten that the agitation of each
and every one must, of necessary,
be beneficial since the evils to be
corrected are rarely imaginary, and
public attention is at least called to
their existence. Whether the par
ticular remedy proposed is wise of
foolish, the result of its discussion
cannot fail TO arouse the public con-
science to a more active sense of it's
duty, and it is therefore entitled to
respect. 1t must be remembered
that the Association is itself non
partisan reform body representing
only one proposed change. Iu no
sense does it espouse any of the So
lutions proposed for the Social Prob

Woman and Reforms.

The National American Woman
Suffrage Association present this
tall the third year in the Course of
Study in Political Science. In their
announcement the Committee say ::
THE third years work in Political
Science consists of a study and dis
eussion of Social Problems. The
first year was devoted to the study
and analysis of the Mechanism of the
Government. The second years
work was study of Political Econ
omy and an analysis of those great
principles which underlie commerce,
trade and property and an oppor-
tunity was given the student to be-
coms familiar with the claims, pro
aud con, of the much vexed tariff
and money questions. The third
year is devoted to Sociology and en-
tors the realm of philanthrophy and
reform.
So long as humanity exists, the
Law d Progress, which has devel-
.oped our modern civilization from
the barbarisms of the past, will not
fail TO operate; and unquestionably
society will continue in its erolution
until it reaches degree of idealism
beyond the comprehension of our
generation. Social Progress is not
wholly an unconscious and mechani.
gal obedience to material force, but
is as well the natural response Of the
human mind to the appeals OF lead
ers of thought, who have possessed
the intelligence to conceive, and the
---.oral courage to espOuse new
truth. The reformer who perceived
',hat better conditions were possible
and clearly foresaw the medium
through which to accomplish the
change has at all times been power
society could not withstand. It has
ostracised and prosecuted, scoffed
and jeered to no purpose sooner or
later the intelligence and justice Of
the people have compelled them to
accept his cause. He may have died
scorned and hated, but few years,
generation. q century, has seen
the truth he advocated triumphant.
Such have been the wonderful forces
Of evolution.
