There was evidence offered by the

other evidence. The verdict settles the
matter, unless there was error in the
trial.
1t does not appear, except as 1t is
to be inferred from the verdict. whcth-

before or soon after the death OF her

defendant. In the recent cases cited

SECLUSION OF TURKISH WOMEN
Gondon Skctcho

The seclusion of Turkish women
when al home within the precincts Of
the harem. and the concealment of
their persons when abroad with veil
and cloak are by no means as is gem
orally imagined. a consequence OF their
degraded" position but precaution
for their greater safety. declares the
Cosmopolitan. The seclusion of women
is an Oriental custom far Older than
Islam. which has in all ages been
practiced under certain social condi-
tions, and chief among these condi-
tions has been the neiGhborhood OF
people of an alien race Nor is il IN
variably or exclusively under Isla m
that such seclusion is practiced at the
present day. For in the rcmotcr part
of the Ottoman Empire the Christian
women, Greek and ArmeiNln, live in
the greatest seclusion and go abroad
only when cloakcd and yelled: while
the Moslem women Of the Albanian
and Kurdish highlands enjoy an en-
ceptional degree of personal indepen-
dence. Among the Kurdish mountain
GERS, and especially the nomad tribes.
that equality OF sexes'A so yearned
after by the New Woman would indeed
almost seem to be an accomplished
fact.

The German Navy

The bill for the increase of the
German Navy was introduced last
week in the Reichstag. 1t provides
for increasing and strengthening the
Imperial Navy, and also for dockyards
deepened harbors, etc, and in fact
all the necesSaries for a we'll equip.
ped Navy that would give Germany
a place among the sea powers of the
world.
The Emperor and his Councillors
have long been endeavoring to bring
about this much desired cOnSumma-
ton but their efforts in this direc.
tion have met with determined OppO-
sition in the keichstag, especially
on the part OF the socialist party.
The leader Of that party recently
stated ia a published interview that
his party and sufficient of the other
parties in the ReichStag representing
the agricultural element, would uni
te in such determined and effectual
opposition 10 amy further increase of
the peoples burdens to CRAFTY, the
military ambition of their warlike
Emperor as TO prevent any legisla-
/, tion increasing The Navy or making
any appropriation, emergency or
otherwise, that could be used to fur
ther the Emperial plabs.
He added, significantly that times
changed in Germany since the
days of the Grand father of the pre-
sent Emperor and his able Chance
llOr Bismarck, and that the German
people would not now stand repeti
tiOn of the coup d'Etats of 1870 when
the war with, France and the great
advantage to be derived from con-
SOlidation of the German kingdoms
and principalitieS furnished an ex
cuse for arbitrary action.
In spite of this opposition however
the present commercial condition
favor the Emperor in his desire fol
strong Navy.
The seizure Of German merchan-
tmen by England has given the go
vernment the most powerful argu-
ment it could have for an efficient
Navy.
Moreover, the war spirit is now
4tabioad on the earth " in all coun-
tiles and German national pride will
prove great and strong factor on
Emperor Williams side of the ques-
) tiOn.

The Kentucky
Trouble.

The situation in kentucky remains
unchanged. Gov. Tailor has not
yet assented to the agreement made
by his friends. One of the articles
of agreement provided that the Goe-
bel election law should be repealed.
and fair law passed to regulate fu-
ture elections. 1t is said that Gov.
Taylor insists that security shall be
given for this article. He requires
the signatures of the Democratic
members of the Legislature to a
pledge of this kind. We think that
he is not asking too much in this
matter. The Democratic members
of the Legislature are not bound by
a paper signed by third parties. They
might profit by the compromise and
then repuGiate their part of it the
next day. If the quarrel is to he
settled by compromise, then security
should be given for executing all its
parts in good faith.
