Mrs Rich finally quieted down to
some extent and complained that the
picture of herself published in the
HERALD did her an injustice.
YOUTHFUL PHOTOGRAPHS.

of them" and she left the grated door
of her cell to return in moment with
a handful of photographs taken in
Chicago.
One of them represented her clad in
pink tights with a sash wound about
her waist standing in the attitude OF
pugilist and confronting young man
also clad in tights. If the photograph
was true to life the woman has GER
tainly not been bad looking in her day
and the unfortunate Rich can not be
blamed for becoming infatuated.
"Many nice young man have |
knocked off his pins in my time," said
the woman smiling; 81 made good mo-

FINALLY they had the body convey

the head by the hair and carrying it

stripped the body of everything vslu-

pay the fine and the men for carrying
the body they confiscated his clothing,

That's the reason Mr.. Rich made
me promise not to tell the authorities
that he was shot. He did not want to

MRS, RICH'S
DARK THREAT
MARX My Words" Said
She, "Mexico Will Not
Get Me"
SHE SAID NAGLEY AND
A Pine Box We're Preferable To Rot
ting In A Mexican Prison And u
innate Death, And Left No Room
To Doubt That She Meant What
She Said.

Public sentiment seems to have I'M
dergone a radical change in the Rich
case.
Many women contend that if Mrs.
Rich really did murder her husband
she did the proper thing and that
death is too mid punishment for so
aggravated an offense. The HERALD
is receiving letters daily from women
who proclaim that Mrs. Rich should
not be surrendered to Mexico.
They seem to think that American gal
lantry ought to see to it that the wO-
man charged with ruthlessly shooting
down her husband in a fit of jealous
rage is not handed over to Mexico for
punishment
Women agree that of the two the
husband was guilty of the greater
crime and that in the Rich case the
punishment of the husband by the out
ragged wife was not severe. A few
women, however, are to be found who
disagree on this point. One young
woman in speaking to q HERALD re-
porter yesterday said that she did not
think that Rich should have been kill
ed, but only shot in the leg.
There is no doubt about it but that the
newspapers all over the country will
find in the Rich case q splendid op-
portunity for long winded editorials
and be quick to avail themselves of the
opportunity.
Yesterday afternoon when q HER
AID reporter dropped in at the Jail
while making his rounds Mrs. Rich
sent word down stairs that she wanted
to see him.
ST just wanted to ask" said she, as
she peered out through the iron lattice
work, "'what you newspaper men have
against me that you want to engage in
this conspiracy to get me back across
the river to be shot. II you are getting
paid for it, see that they gay you we'll,
for they have got plenty of money and
are spending it like water to have me

Since few cases of smallpox have
again made their appearance in this

bullfghts, are extremely dangerous to
public health.
Vaccination is q personal self pro-

disease, smallpox, may be carried in
clothing to the unprotected. I there
fore request all Americans to abstain
from visiting the bullfghts, as on such
days it will be my unpleasant duty to
disinfect all persons who visit Juarez

Position and Sleep.

The position affects sleep. A con- strained position generally prevents re- pose, while comfortable one wooes sleep. Lying flat on the back, with the limbs relaxed, would seem to secure the greatest amount of rest for the muscu- lar system. This is the position assumed in the most exhausting diseases, and it is generally hailed as token of revival when a patient voluntarily turns on the side. But there are several disadvan- tages in the supine posture which inn pair or embarrass sleep. Thus in disor- dered conditions of the stomach the blood seems to gravitate to the back of the head and to produce troublesome dreams
 Nearly all who are inclined to snore do so when lying on the back, because the soft palate and uvula hang on the tongue, and that organ falls back so as partly to close the top of the wind pipe. It is better, therefore, to lie on the side, and, in the absence of special disease rendering it desirable to lie on the weak side so as to leave the healthy lung free to expand, it is we'll to use the right side, because when the body is thus placed the food gravitates more easily out of the stomach, and the weight of the stomach does not com press the upper portion of the intes- tines. A glance at any of the visceral anatomy will show this must be so.- Exchange.

Whether a luxury diminishes indus trial efficiency depends on what sort of 8 luxury it is and what sort of an in dividual is using it. Because some lux
 uries are bad we should not leap to the conclusion that all luxuries are to be condemned. The economist who indicts luxury on the ground that it makes men lazy loses sight entirely of the ef- feet of the prospect of luxury in making men work. If luxury itself tends to slacken the energies of individuals, the desire for luxury tends to quicken their energies The second tendency is at least as strong as the first. am in clined to believe it the stronger. Men would probably work less rather than more if the prospect of luxury were taken away A very powerful motive to industrial activity would thus be de- stroyed. IF.

skyscrapers Very old.

Lanciani, the famous Roman arch @ologist, has shown that in the Rome of the Caesars trouble was experienced with high buildings. A law was passed restricting the height of fronts to 60 feet. In order to evade it builders adopted the practice of carrying up the rear portion several stories more. Other laws bearing on the heights of buildings were passed in olden times. There was a tendency to diminish the height of stories as the buildings in- creased in size, and height of 130 feet was probably attained. It is believed that the ceilings were so low that a man could not stand upright in the rooms. ms.-Green Bag.
