When, recently, in the most learned

upon nerves and blood incident to the
modern, strenuous life-despite the fact
that diseases of the nervous system ap-
pear earlier and oftener among working
people than formerly, nevertheless, with
in the past five or six years the average
life of Americans was materially longer
than it was decade ago-the editors OF
the review pronounced it as their firm

no small degree from the discovery a few

MURDERER PAYS THE PENALTY
Wronged Wife Stayed by Guilty
Man to the Last.

CHICAGO, Oct 11.-Gecrge Dolinski,
convicted of murder, was hanged here
today.
The crime for which Dolinski paid the
extreme penalty was the murder of his
hrother-in-law Anton Isle, a year ago.
Dolinski became infatuated with Mrs.
Isle, his wife's sister. That his clan
destine wooing might not be interfered
with, Dolinski sent his wife on visit to
his parents in the old country. His wife
out of the way, he wished to marry Mrs.
Lisle, who seemed to return his love.
Isle, however, became suspicious. Nov.
q the two men met in pasture north Of
Irving Park. When the police found
Lisle's body there were four bullet
wounds in it and the throat was cut Do
linski was arrested, but he declared that
he and Lisle had quarreled about money
matters and that he had been compelled
to shoot his brother-in-law in self-de-
fence. The evidence against Dolinski,
while mainly cireumstantial, was SUI
ffcient to convince the jury that murder
had been done in order that DolinskI
might marry Mrs. Isle.
Meanwhile Mrs. Dolinski, in Europe,
heard that her husband had been arrest
ed, but the report also said that it was
for her own murder. Supposing that she
could get him out of his predical5ent by
appearing and thus disproving the charge
that he had killed her, Mrs DoIinski,
with her infant, hurried back across the
Atlantic and arrived in Chicago only to
discover the real state of affairs. She did
not abandon her husband, however, but
did all in her power to aid him. She Wis
tied the Jail yesterday. and when she
learned that the supreme court had re-
fused to grant a supersedeas she fell in
a faint. Dolinski made his last confess
sion to Father Rapouz yesterday, and
spent the night in a barber chair. alter

House of Deputies Struggle. with

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-THE cues
ton of marriage and divorce was before
both houses of the triennial convention of
the Episcopal Church of America today.
The bishops adopted a substitute for the
proposed canon 81, providing for the dis
cipline of persons marrying again after
being divorced. The principal change
MADE by the substitute is the provision
that such person may receive the sacra.-
ment on the written consent of bishop.
The house of deputies began the eagerly
awaited debate on section 4 of the pro-
posed canon Sc, which virtually prohibits
the remarriage in the church of divorced
persons. The discussion will be con-
tinued on Monday. The only vote reached
during the day was on proposed modi-
lfication of DR.. Huntington's amendment
providing for determining the cause of
divorce in the case of a divorced person
applying to be married. This was de-
feated
