BOYD MURDER.

The police doubt If Mrs. Boyd's as

! still that some clew will yet be given
| which will lead 10 their arrest. Mean
while. public sentiment has become
| aroused and is demanding that the To-
| calitv OF the murder be better lighted
| and cared for. The police beat in which
| il is included is a large one. and the
| force at the disposal OF the department
is not adequate to properly protect IL,
| For wears il has been known as the
''ice house" beat. In earlier years OF
the department ii was one Of the most
undesirable patrol districts i'm the city,
and an officer assigned To il was re-
garded as being punished for official
peccadill0es or political opposition TO
the reigning powers at Headquarters.

lence Of which Lowell has been the

claimed by some. is largely the result
OF the use OF raw alcohol and low grade

The Women of Egypt.

The woman of ancient Egypt was
versed in every branch of literature
and art. She not only reigned as
queen and shared the public life with
men, but she also held important
posts in the priesthood. The woman
of modern Egypt is seldom taught to
read or write, and not many of them,
even among the higher class, learn to
say their prayers. The girl of the
middle and upper classes is brought
up in absolute idleness. She is taught
nothing save respect to her parents.
Disobedience, being accounted one of
the seven deadly sins, is an unknown
quantity in an Egyptian household.
She is sometimes taught her prayers
and to recite few chapters of the
Koran by sort Of governess. Only
very occasionally is girl taught to
read and write. She has more often
a teacher who instructs her in sewing
and needlework. The girl of the
poor leads an equally idle life, and,
though schools are numerous, her ed
ucation is confined to sewing and en-
broidery. Free Press.

SERPENT ENTERED THE EDEN
OF PITCAIRN ISLAND,
Double Murder Done the Home of the Munees
First Serious Crime in o Years.

For the first time in all it's romantic
history, Pitcairn Island has been the
scene of murder, says the New York
Press. For nearly 40 years the
mutineers of the Bounty and their de-
scendants lived on Pitcairn an ideal
existence. Then young man named
Christian, a descendant of the leader
of the mutineers, killed young wom-
an and her little child and threw their
bodies into one of the ocean caves. He
wanted to get rid of the woman and
child in order that he might marry
another young woman on whom he had
cast his eyes. The rulers of the
island had decided that if he married
any one it must be the young woman
of whose child he was the father;
that, in fact, he was to all intents and
purposes the girls husband. One
evening Christian met the young wom-
an and her child in the forest and
killed them. He was suspected of the
crime and accused, whereupon he con-
fessed.
1t was the first capital crime ever
committed on the island, and the
islanders were much excited over it.
