To Regulate Journalism

Representative Jones of the state Of
Washington has introduced in congress
bill which provides that hereafter no
newspaper shall be carried in the mails
unless the name of the proprietor or
the names of all the stockholders are
placed conspicuously at the head of
the first editorial page. with the number
Of shares they own. The bill also pro-
vides that the name of the writer of each
editorial shall be appended thereto.
Mr.. Jones says that he has two-fold
reason in presenting the bill In the
first place, he thinks that the editorial
writer ought to get reputation for his
work, which Is now anonymous.
In the second place. he says the edi-
torial writer, under the present system,
lacks responsibility and becomes sim
pie writing machine for his employer,
irrespective Of his own honest convic-
tions.
consequently" said Mr.. Jones, "ths
reading public is losing all confidence
in the great papers to which they were
wont to go for their information and
argument. I believe that the reading
public has a. right to know the sources
of the editorial literature which they
read and the influences that dictate
such utterances." Fourth Estate.

dark tragedy is card from the victim
of the lynched negro's lust. Mrs. T. M.
Gaumer. Mrs Gaumer's card was given
to the press today. It contains the fol-

with a sorely chastened hand and
mind, I desire to take this means of
showing to our friends our heartfelt
appreciation of the many kindnesses
shown US during the sore trial OF our
recent aff1iction.
mot only are we thankful for the per-
sonal calls Of sympathy at our door. for
flowers and cards from our neighbors,
but for sympathetic messages from a
distance. Almost from beyond the
ocean have come to us loving words of
sympathy.
"God bless our noble men and women

that 1 may once more take up the cares
and burdens Of life.
May our loving Heavenly Father
help us to lay off the shackles Of for
mality and meet those kindred spirits
who have SO grandly come to us in our
hour of bitter trial, that we may go forth
in the field that is white for the harvest
for good; that we may walk more hum
bly,. more submissively, that the strifes
we have borne may render us ever more
thoughtful Of Him, who, while on earth.
knew nothing else but sorrow and aff1ic-
tion.
God bless our noble men and women
Of the Christian land Of ours, our COVER
nor, our adjutant-general, our mayor
and our city and county officials and citi-
zens of every walk in life, who not only
so nobly gave sympathy, but faced the
bayonets that the foulest stain upon our
city's most sacred page might be blotted
out, that their homes, their loved ones,
may be shielded from such a fate as
that Of a fair name that throughout life
must feel even deeper sorrow than that
Of the parting of loved ones.
Never did soldiers die on any battle
field for more holy and righteous
cause than did these brave boys for the
purity of their homes, for mothers,
daughters and sisters. They should be
looked on as heroes, willing to spill their
blood for the holiest Of all and any cause.

STRANGLED TO DEATH
AN AGED WIDOW HANGED BY A
HANDKERCHIEF
Found in the Basement Suspended
From a Hook on the Wall-Sup-
posed to Be Suicide

Mrs. Mary Newman, a widow, aged go
years. who has been living with her
daughter, Mrs. Charles Reich, at 637
Sichel street, was found strangled to
death in the basement of the house at
o'clock yesterday morning. Her body
was suspended from a hook on the wall
by handkerchief tied around the neck.
The case presents every evidence of be-
ing suicide. The chair upon which she
had stood had been kicked away, leaving
| the body suspended Death had resulted
from strangulation.
Mrs. Newmann has been in poor health
and low spirits for several months. al
mentioned contemplating suicide. Yes
terday morning she arose early and went
into the basement, presumably on some
errand. She had not been gone very
long when one of the members Of the
Reich family went into the basement and
found her dead body. Mrs. Newman
always wore handkerchief tied around
her neck This had been caught on Il
hook fastened in the wall about five and
half feet from the floor, and when the
chair had been kicked away left the
woman hanging until she strangled to
death.
Mrs Reich was almost Frustrated when
she learned of her mothers sad death.
She rejects the idea of suicide, and says

rash act, but believes that 1t is case
Of accidental hanging. Mrs. Newman
was subject to fainting spells, and her
daughter thinks that she must have gone

she climbed upon the chair to reach
something on a shelf above, when she
was overcome and slipped down, acci-
dentally catching the handkerchief upon
the hook.
Mrs. Newman has lived here for sew
eral years and has large family. An

MANY STILL USE LEEcHEs
Bloodsuckers Yet Employed by Medi
cal Men in Various Countries

A young man with black eye was led
into a Brooklyn drug store in Fulton
street the other night by some friends
to see what could be done to make the
eye presentable. The druggist said that
he could not paint the eye, which the
young man said was the only proper
course, but leech could be applied.
There was some argument to the effect
that leeches were old-fashioned, but the
young man consented to an operation.
The druggist brought out a jar six
inches in height and fished aroud inside
with one hand. He brought out q
crawling, black object, that he imme-
diately transferred to little pasteboard
box, in one side of which he had cut a
small hole, near the edge in the cover.
Holding the hole up to the young mans
eye the druggist shook the box little
and the leech's head was soon at work
reducing the size Of the dark patch un-
der the eye. Meanwhile the company
got some instructions about leeches.
1.-THE indicative leech is not so much
in demand as it ought to be-" said the
druggist, land the main difficulty In
this country is to get leeches that will
not cause blood poisoning. The decrease
in the use of leeches by the medical pro-
fession is remarkable. In England the
largest two hospitals formerly called for
about $4,000 of them; now they call for
so or 100 leeches at irregular intervals.
Owing to lack of demand and over
production in the old country the price
has fallen there to about one~half of
that easily obtained fifty years ago. In

said the sufferer, wincing 1T pulls

"Oh, you will feel as lively as a cricket
after this Is over" said the druggist
You needn't be afraid of any impuri-
ties, such as some have complained Of
when using American leeches. Some
are raised in Florida, but they are not
held to be very good. The danger of
having leeches raised in warm coun-
tries is that the bite Is dangerous, CIV

WOMEN MAY VOTE
It transpires now that tax-paying
women of Arizona may-by virtue Of a
law passed by the last legislature-vote
at all city elections. General w. O.
O'Neill the mayor of Prescott and pop
ulist leader of wide influence and per-
sonal popularity, is the author Of this
bill In the closing days of the unla-
rnented nineteenth, after two equal suf-
frage bills had been set up and knocked
down, this bill of General O'Neill's s
slipped through as If creased, and scarce
ly anybody but it's author seemed to re-
alize that it carried with it a very de-
cided equal suffrage section. The Sec
ton in question reads that "At any city
election every tax payer is entitled to
vote, without distinction of SEX" The
remainder of the law relates to municipal
regulations and was altogether too
lengthy and dry to command much seri-
Gus attention. from a legislature in its
dying hours. In toto, however, the law
has proved good one, and at least one
half of the populations Of the territory
is eminently pleased at the discovery that
it entities tax-paying women to vote.
