WANT THEIR MOTHER HANGED
A Wife Excites Her Children's An
ger by Assaulting Her Husband.

A sad drama OF domestic depravity
brought on by the inordinate use of
strong drink. was enacted in the little cot
tage of Andrew Howard at 1882 Shotwen
street last evening, in which Agnes How
ard, the wife OF Andrew Howard. and the
mother of four little children, ranging
from one to seven years of age, was the
aggressor.
The husband and father of this unhappy
family is Woodworking, Industrious
man, who follows the business of a furni-
ture polisher In the firm OF Paterson q
Sehemp, at All 'Shotwell street. On his
return from work yesterday evening at
haif-past o'clock his wife asked him for
some money for liquor This he refused,
which angered his better half TO the ex-
tent that she seized a lighted coal oil
lamp and threw 1t at him, breaking a
large mirror in doing so. Not satisfied
with this mode of revenge, she picked up
a small butcher knife and made fur
Their assault on him. This time she was
more successful, as she plunged the steel
blade into his left arm, making an IN
cision. eight inches long, from which the
ering one of the large tendonS
Howard closed in on his Infatuated wife.
when he got another jab of the knife in
the back of the head. In the meantime
the blood from the wound in his arm had
spurted over his wife's white muslin
dress.
While this unnatural scene was being
enacted in the little cottage the oldest
child, little boy, ran ipto the Seven
teentn street ponce station ana INFORMED
Lieutenant Price that his mother was
killing his father. Price dispatched Of
ficers Crowley and Graham to the place
mentioned by the boy. While the officers
were on their way to the house Howard
entered the station and toiu his story to
Price. The patrol wagon was at once dis
patched to the house and the half-drunk-
en- woman and her four children brought
to the police station. Her appearance.
smeared as she was with the blood of
the husband, presented disgusting
sight The little children begged the Of
ficers to hang her, and In their grief over
the fate of their father wanted their
mother sent to San Quentin, where they
hoped she would be burned up How
ard was sent to the City and County Hos
pital, where Drs. Hopkins, Treuholtz and
Gibbons put fifteen stitches In the man $
arm and dressed the wound in his head.
which was but slight On his return to
the police station Lieutenant Price sent
him and his little children to their home
and booked the woman with an assault
with q deadly weapon. She was immedi-
ately transferred to the Central police
station.
This unfortunate woman has been re-
peatedly arrested for drunkenness within
the past year, and when the services of
the officers are required to take her to
the station 1t invariably requires two of
the stoutest of the force to handle her. as
she is a powerfully built woman, weighing
over 200 pounds while her unfortunate
husband is small. delicate man.

Jumped Out of a Window.

Rudolph Kopke, who lives on Bryant
and Eleventh streets, called upon Miss
Mary Foley at 1928 Howard street late
Thursday night. He had been drinking
heavily. and while waiting for her ap-
pearance he fell asleep. Miss Foley re-
turned with friend about ! o'clock yes
terday morning and seeing a man in her
room concluded that he was a burglar.
She screamed. which awakened Kopke
out of his sleep, and in his muddled con-
dition he rushed TO the window and
jumped out from the second story. A
few minutes later Policemen FARRELL and
Ward found him unconscious on the side
walk and sent him to the City Prison in
the patrol wagon, where a charge of
was then taken to the Receiving Hos
pital where DIR. Hartley found that three
fingers of his left hand and his eyebrow
and chin were cut, and his right wrist
sprained. He was released yesterday

lation to the Philippines makes her the
great factor in the questions that are
being considered, and l want to say to
you that if you cast your vote against
the Republican nominee it will be &C
cepted by this country and by Europe as
a reputation of the course of the ad-
ministration through this war. This Is
the real issue.
They have voted against every meas
ure that would help this State, in this
war, in the matter of Hawaiian annexa-
ton and in everything else. Are you go
ing to vote for men thus handicapped by
objectionable transgressions?
why, to excuse themselves for voting
against that $500, 600 900 war bond issue
they are saying that they thought there
was enough in the treasury, and more
might not be needed. And in response to
that call, for which they did not vote.
there came an offer of 81, 400 600, 900 instead
of $500 900 600: and that offer by our own
people showed Europe and every other
country on earth that they wanted no
trouble with us. 1t was worth more tnan
500 900 soldiers in the field.
And yet they cast their vote against it.
They placed paItry dollars higher in the
scale than the blood of thousands of our
soldiers, and that sort of patriotism is
not of the American kind"

The most critical period in a wo1nan's
life may be properly called " Blossoming
Time" It is the period when she blossoms
from girlhood into womanhood.
At this momentous time the best rnedi-
cine for woman to take is DR.. Pierce'e
Favorite Prescription. 1t acts directly up
on the delicate and important organs that
are to bear the burdens of wifehood and
motherhood. 1t makes them strong,
healthy and vigorous. It corrects all
irregularities and displacements and stops
exhausting drains. Taken during the pc
rod of expectant maternity, it banishes
the usual annoyances and makes baby's
coming easy and almost painless. 1t in
sures the newcomers health and an ample
supply of nourishment 1t TRANSFORMS
weak, sick1v, nervous, complaining wo-
men into happy, healthy wives. Thou
sands of women have told over their own
signatures, the story of the marvellous
merits of this great medicine. An hon
est dealer will not try TO persuade you
to take something different from what you
ask for, for the sake of few pennies adj
ded profit.
