Ii is a question whether the man Tout-
sey. on trial at Georgetown. Ky. as a prin-
eipal in the murder of Governor Goebei. is
really in a state OF physical collapse, or is
enlE shamming insanity. The latter theory
is the popular one on the ground. It is
said that at different times Youtsey has
made two confessions of his share in the
killing The first. to Arthur GoebeI. was

OLD MAIDS REASONS
Nine Points Scored by a Chicago
Spinster School, Teacher.
Miss Gosgin's Answers a. to "Why 1
Am single" Stir Up a Contro-
versy with New York Women
of Single Blessedness.

Nine reasons for spinsterhood were
given to the Catholic Woman's Nation-
al league, of Chicago, in an argument
the other afternoon. Miss Catherine
Goggin, who has been grade teacher
in the public schools for 20 years, who
is president of the Grade Teachers fed
Grafton, and now is engaged in tax in
vestigations, told the story of her life
to the club women by request. Miss
Goggin prepared ten-minute paper
on why | Am Single. There were nine
answers, as follows:
Because he might not be an orphan.
Because he might like tides.
Because he might be fond of using pet
names.
Because he might part his hair In the
middle of his head.
Because he might demand an itemiZed
account of household expenditures.
Because dinner would have to be taken
with the same person each day.
Because marriage would neeessitate
daily letter writing when either he or
she might be away.
Because all the good men seemed to he
married already.
Because he has not proposed"
If Miss Goggin had contented herself
with woman's bulwark of defense "be-
cause" and had not entered into spec
ificationu No. /, No. 2, etc, all would
have been we'll; but when the nine par
ticularized becauses reached the ears
of New York old maidens there were
as many objections and additional be-
causes as there were spinsters to make
them.
81 am one of those old maids" said
DR.. Ellen Miles, of New York Sorosis,
'who lived to be over 30 without ever
having an offer of marriage. To take up
Miss Goggin's objection to marrying
becat,se her husband might demand an
itemized account of household ex-
penses, | should think such an account
quite fair if he would render one in
return. Pet names oil the wheels of
married life. and letters should be love
letters to the end. Nor can agree that
all good men are disposed Of"
Miss Mildred Britton Fairchild, of
the City History club, believed that
Miss Goggin's real motive in keeping
single was the fact that she had been
earning her own money too long to be
satisfied with the modicum doled out
by any man.
"The term old maid,'" she said, mo
longer exists. Women don't grow old
any more. We have lost the distinction
of age in dress. The girl of 16 is gurbed
as soberly as her mother. The woman
of to-day is as old as her interests. A
,ynmnn'c rnarrio n Crrn ble nue is tbare-
fore, not to be limited. 1t is rash to
say that all good men are already mar
ried. believe that every woman has
had a proposal, and that most Of them
have been engaged"

Here is a story which was told by
Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson at
the Twentieth Century club in Boston
recently; A country clergyman called
on Henry Ward Beecher and asked his
advice about what TO do with persons
who go to sleep In church-something
which had become quite prevalent in
his congregation. Mr.. Beecher listened
very attentiyely, admitted that it was
serious, and then saidi when / first
came to Plymouth church l thought
about this problem, and 1 will tell you
the course decided upon. The sexton
was given strict orders that if he saw
any person asleep in nay congregation
he should at once go straight into the
pulpit and wake up the minister"
