In another column of this issue ap.
pears letter from DR.. Edward Brooks,
one of Americas foremost educators. DR..
Brooks first distinguished hlr self in
educational lines as principal of the Lock
Haven State Normal School of Pennsyl-
vania. Later he attained eminence as
superintendent of the public schools OF
Philadelphia succeeding DR.. James Mac
Alister. DR.. Brooks in his letter states
that many reasons can be given why
women should occupy places on school
boards. He says they are servceable in
many ways in Philadelphia. They
would likewise be serviceable in this
city. Place woman on the Board of
Public Education and estimate her value
as member thereof and an educator
having the interests of the boys and the
girls education at heart. Women know
and understand children. The advice OF
woman would stand the members of
the Board of Education in good stead.

In Cleveland, O., there is planted upon
the heights of the literary world a bat
tery-The Gatling G,m. At the breech
stands frank, fearless, independent and
intellectual man-Walter Hurt. The
shots fired by this editor burst forth in
seething sentences of truth and right.
Under Hurts direction The Gatling Gun
is a good distributor and with unwaver-
ing precision sends its shots straight to
the vital point.
He has trained his literary gun on the
principals In the Dunning murder and
with full supply Of the best ammuni'
ton The Gatling G'm pours shell into the
depths of the mysterious case. In the
October number Mr.. Hurt says
"Murder by mail is new and notable
departure in the assassination industry,
and there is no doubt that 1t will become
a very fashionable fad in the more eau
tious circles of the sanguigenous set if
the poisoner OF Mrs. John p. Dunning,
of Dover, Del, succeeds in slipping the
leash of the law, and it is more than
likely that he will | say "he' advised
ly, for more than half believe that the
vile husband of the victim was the party
of the first part in her untimely taking
off.
"The rather rapid Frisco female, Mrs.
w. A. Botkin, who stands accused of the
crime, is hardly the kind of creature
who would put her head in halter fol
any one man. She has too many strings
to her bow for that ard Dunning doesn't
seem to have been her favorite parainou'
by any manner OF means. Vain, frivo
lous, superficial, butterfly of the demi
monde, she strikes me as being capable
OF loving no one intensely-save her owr
silly self. -.
"But what of Dnnning. With a wife
and child in Delaware, he formed an il
licit intimacy with this California cy
prian; and the very moment he heard
of the tragedy, he tipped off tale to the
police that put them on the track of the
female who is looking at life through
dungeon bars today.
"False to the woman he had sworn al
the altar to love, cherish and protect
false to the female he had followed dewr
"the primrose path Of dalliance," h.
stands before the public as a perjuret
scoundrel, whose principal stock in trade
is perfidy, and who is, therefore, quail
fed for any crime that his personal in
clinatiOns may suggest.
"The evidence against Mrs. Botkin il
purely circumstantial, and it has beer
discovered that part OF it was manu-
factured-presumably by the San Fran
cisco police, who have been houndinl
the woman down with ferocity tina
would do credit to pack Of Siberian
wolves. Governor Budd, of California
has been SO impressed with this new fea
ture of the case that he has fatty refused
to extradite the prisoner-and there yo'
are!
"1n the mean time, Dunning is a
large, and his wife is rotting in the clos
confines OF her doorless domicile."

HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"King's Evip' with blood poi
soning and it is interesting to
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
a few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, etc., by his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became unil
versally known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such a
method of cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, but history does not san
tion this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac'
tees of the Divide in curing dis.
ease. The exact words used 70,
the cure of Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-"Le roi te
touche, Dieu te guerisse.'
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough te
trust a case of Scrofula to a King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had q
diploma or two from medical
colleges of good repute. At this
writing none of the Kings i'll ou,
circle of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru'
man, Lemon City, Fla, for
bottle of "Marvelo." There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel.
