A YOUNG MOTHERS DEED.

Mrs. Lizzie NJ Ellis, comely young
woman, was arrested in Richmond last
night for the murder of her sixteen
nonths.od baby girl. She gave ii
i4udabum on Tu, sday, night, and took
pme herself. Tie child died, and she
woke again to find it cold and stiff al
ler side. She screamed, and when the
inmates Of the house reached her she
was hystericatiy trying to swallow
more OF the drug.
When the coroner was called to view
be remains of the child, which was re-
ported as having been found dead in
,ed, the mother told most improbable
story, but on being Informed that she
vas not believed, she made full con
iessioE. She said she had been deser.
ted by her husband that she could not
support her child, and that she had
bought the drug in Farmville, and come
20 Richmond with the deliberate pur'
p3se OF killing the child and tiking her
Jwn life.

when mustered out deserted his wife,
and she has not seen him since or had
my support from him. She says she
made a fruitless struggle to support
aerself and child, end made up her
mind two weeks ago to end it all.
The mother is not quite seventeen
gears Of age now. Her father lives
near Farmville, is highly respectable,
nut very poor. The young woman de-
;lares she will gladly surrender her life
@ the verdict of the law. Much sym
patty is felt for her in Richmond.
A dispatch from Farmville says that
he friends and family of Mrs. Ellis ex.
press great surprise at her crime, and
give no reason for supposing that her
husband deserted her. He is said to be
in Petersburg. He served in

this morning for the murder of his wife
at their home near Hummelstown on
August 26, 1896. A crowd Of 200 per.
sons witnessed the execution. Holm
ger was the coolest man in the crowd.
He trembled slightly however, when

cap pulled over his face. On the way to
the scaffold, Hollinger passed the cell OF
Albert Smith, colored. sentenced to be
hung July IL, for poisoning his wife.
The two shook hands. Smith told Hol

demned man wanted to witness the
execution but was persuaded to remain
outside by DR.. Bagley. He cried bitter
ly when the casket Tor his father was

was brutal one. He practically saw

after first knocking her down and hold

that they would be so well cared for in

SENATOR PLATT manifestly believes
in war. He says ''peace is beautiful,
but is not for this age" But he is
neither as manly nor as patriotic as the
late Senator McDougal of California,
who, on the floor of the U. S. Senate,
said he believed in war, wine and
women. Men who believe in war
would be respected great deal more
if they would manifest their belief by
heroic deeds rather than by heroic
words. Words are breath; they Cost
nothing, and are therefore at every.
body's disposal. People who have ex-
perienced the horrors of war would
sooner see the devil in any other
shape, and the preachers who advocate
war, for humanity. may be sure of a
not time the night when they reach the
