THE RAISING OF osTRIcHEs.
Five Farms Now Carried on in the
United States.

Five Farms Now Carried in the
United States.
There are now five ostrich farms in
the United States-two in California,
one in Texas, one in Florida, and one
in Arizona. The last named, although
the youngest, is the largest and most
fourishing in the country. It is To-
Gated near Phoenix, and the Salt river
valley seems we'll adapted to the At
riean ostrich No protection whatever
is required for the birds during the
winter. They Craze the entire year in
the fields, the same as horses and cat
tie, and are healthy and thrifty. The
man in charge of the Arizona farm,
who spent Is years handling ostriches
in South Africa, says the birds do just
as well in the Salt River valley as in
Africa, and that the climatic and other
conditions surrounding them here seem
as well adapted to their requirements
as those existing in their native home.
After the birds attain the age of four
weeks there is little danger of their
dying from natural causes for many
years. 1t is not positively known how
long an ostrich will live under normal
conditions, but there are birds on South
African farms which are believed to
have reached or passed the century
mark, many of them having been in
captivity there over fifty years. Most
people have the idea, obtained, prob
ably, from their old Biographies when
they were children, that the female
ostrich, after laying her eggs in nest
scooped out of the desert sands, COW
ers them UP with the sand and leaves
them, trusting to the heat of the sun
to hatch them. This is not the fact
The birds always pair off during the
breeding season, the male bird making
the nest by resting his breastbone on
the sand and turning slowly round and
round, scratching the sand away with
his feet until shallow hole is made,
some three feet in diameter and about
a foot deep. The female then lays, usu=
ally, Is eggs, and the birds take turns
sitting on them, the female sitting
during the daytime and the male at
night, except that the male allows the
female about an hour in the middle of
the day to feed, when he takes her
place On the nest.-Boston Herald.

PATERSON, N. J.,
 HAS SENSATION Five Arrests Follow a Woman'S
 Suspicious Death AN ALLEGED CONFESSION One of the Prisoners Whose Name is Death Says That Knock Out" Drops Were Administer
 ed to the Victim
AN ALLEGED CONFESSION

New York October 23.-Late last night George Kerr, Walter McAllister, William Death and Andrew Campbell were arrested by the police of Paterson, N. J., accused of having caused the death of Jennie Bo- schieter, the young woman whose body was found last Friday on the outskirts of Paterson. Kerr and Death are married men. The police say Death has made a confess sion, saying that the four were drinking with the girl and gave her knockout drops. They then took her in buggy across the bridge into Bergen County, pass ing the girls own home on the way to the spot where the body was found the next ], morning. In the struggle which occurred there one of the men, which one is not stated, tripped the girl, throwing her hav- fly to the ground. The fall rendered her un- conscious and the men became frightened. They put her in the buggy and started back to Paterson with her. but changed their minds and again brought her back to the spot where the assault had occurred. Leaving her there, they secured a doctor, whose name was not given He pronounced the girl beyond help. The police say they know who the doctor is.
 Detectives employed on the case assert
 
 drops given her and not by the blow on the head
 Death is an insurance collector, Mccall lister is a son of well-to-do silk throw- ster, Kerr is q member of a wealthy family and brother of former Judge Kerr, and Campbell is foreman in silk mill.
 fifth arrest was made today, Garrett A. Stowrie being taken Into custody Stowrie made statement stating that he was hired by McAlllster, Kerr, Death and Campbell to drive them, with Miss Boschieter, in two-seated rig last Thursday night. He said they stopped at saloon, where the girl, after drinking, became stupef1ed. Stowrie said he understood she had been given "knock-out' drops. They placed her in the rig and she became unconscious. The men became frightened, as the girl did not re- vive, and they drove to the office. of pr. Townsend.
 The girl continued in an unconscious con- dition, and the men were advised to take her direct to her home. Subsequently they drove to the house of two other physicians, but did not succeed in getting medical aid, and so went back to the office of Dr. Town send When they got there this time the girl was dead. They then drove out to the place where the body was first discovered, near the Wagarrow bridge, in Bergen County, and left the body lying there.
 Kerr, McAllister, Deaton and Campbell were successively arraigned before Re- corder Senecer and were all held without bail to await the action of the grand jury. They were charged with murdering Jennie Eoschieder by giving her powerful drugs, of which she died lingering death. It Is said that Death has been married only few months.

WOMAN IN POLITICS
By Susan B. Anthony.

There is no point which ought to be so strongly emphasized. no fact which so needs to be impressed upon those women who are | now organizing to work for the different 1 political parties, as that of their utter pow ] erlessneSs to help or hinder. Senator Jones H. Lane, of Kansas always used to say to those who came begging him to assist their pet measures: "Well, what do you propose to do for me in returng
 This was brutally blunt way of putting | into words what every politician says in effect when he ingnores the prayers and petitions of women.
 It is the philosophical and inevitable con- | sequences of our democratic-republican form of government, in which position and power are conferred by the electors. Those who desire promotion must establish them selves in the favor of those who grant it, and there is nothing to be gained by catering to any other class.
 This may be placing government on 8 low plane. It is altruism with limit; a desire to help others in the exact propor- tion that others help us. It is the golden rule read backwards-Have others do unto you in the precise ratio that you do unto them.
 of the individual, but the result of the system-the electorate governs. It gives and 1t takes away. All outside of this body are without power to do either.
 This is the position of women. Their in- terest in political issues, their ability to comprehend them, their desire to influence them cannot be questioned. All of these be- come more evident with each national cam paign
 By the 9th of next November there will be scarcely a women in the United States so devoid of patriotism as not to wish to cast her vote for one or the other of the presidential candidates.
 It is because women long to assist the par ty which represents their ideas on public questions that they form their political or ganizations, open their headquarters, fly their literature, make speeches and march in processions.
 The party leaders welcome all the grist which comes to their mill; they do not re. ject any fuel which makes steam they ac- cept every element which increases the en- thusiasm, and they honestly desire the sym pathy and cooperation of women.
 In politics neither the labors nor the opin- ions of women have any appreciable nfu- ence unless enforced by the ballot. There are object lessons without number to prove this assertion.
 The old Abohtionists were perfectly will ingly to have women share their obloquy and ostracism, but when they became strong political party they refused to divide their power with women.
 The Prohibition parry was feeble and in- effectual until reinforced by the eloquence, enthusiasm and organized effort of the Wo-
