window Glass Trust Erfeotually Smashed.

Pittsburg, Pa, January 1.-The last
hope of those members of the American
window glass workers association that

furnished by their attorney, who says
that under the present laws, no char
ter of Incorporation could be obained for
the association. This decision being ad
verse, the rapid dissolution of orzaniza-
tion is predicted. 1t is probable than
an application will soon be made for the
appointment of receiver to wind up
it's affairs.

Women In Public Life.

LyncAings for 1897.

The Macon CGeorgia) Telegraph says
that since January /, 1897, there have
been in the United States an aggregate
of ninety-seven lynchings, or little
more than twelve per month. Texas
heads the list with record of nineteen;
Alabama is good second with twelve;
Mississippi is not far behind with ten;
Georgia and Louisiana have eight each;
Tennessee. seven; Florida. six; South
Carolina, Kentucky and Arkansas, five
each; Missouri, three; Virginia, two I;
and Arizona and Maryland, one each.
In the North, California, Ohio, Nevada
Alaska and Illinois have had one each /;
of the victims of these lynchings, eighty
have been negroes, fourteen whites and
three Indians. Ofthe negroes, the great
majority were lynched for the crime of
murder, only fourteen having thus been
punished for outrage or attempted out
age of women. The contention that the
after crime is the main cause of the ad-
ministration of this irregular and unlaw-
ful punishment is thus shown to be with
out foundation. The lawless and savage
impulses of the communities among
whom it occurs afford a sufficient ex-
PLANTATION of its cause, and the only true
one.
