THE Folly or WOMEN.

The discussion of what makes wom-
en- do crazy things has occupiet the
attention OF mankind to q large ex-
tent ever since the world was created
and It must be conceded that nobody
has ever solved the problem. And one
of the strangest lines of iunacy tnat
woman follows is becoming infatuated
with and yielding to the blandish-
ment of the most uepraved and dis
reputable characters. Mother Eve
started II when she let the devil coax
her into eating green apples. and no
amount of collie has prevented her
daughters from following her example.
The last sensation of this kind is
the Biddle tragedy in Pennsylvania.
The wife OF the jail warden, middle
aged woman. with four 2hildren-the
Oldest a girl OF fourteen years-be-
comes enamored OF m0st villainous
murderer. aids him and his brother to
escape, fees with them, and attempts
TO die with them. She betIays her
husbands trust, and throws away the
decent reputation of lifetime for an
unprincipled scoundrel, who would in
all probability throw her over when
ever it suited his purpose. Why did
she do it? One is inclined to say wiki
Hamlet:
You cannot call it love; for at your
age
The hey-day in the blood is tame;
'tis humble.
And waits upon the judgment; and
what judgment
Would step from this to this?
You cannot account for it any more
than Hamlet could account for his
mothers folly 1t Is simply fact that
manifests itself from time to time.
Only a few days ago William Pinker-
ton, the noted detective in an inter-
view in the St Louis Republic de-
plored this strange frailty of women.
and stated that his detectives were
then watching prison in which
desperate murderer was confined, and
where they were expecting the jailer's
wife to attempt to aid his escape
There are hundreds of well-authen-
ticated cases of the kind. and doubt
less would be thousands more If op-
portunity were presented. for there Is
seldom a vicious criminal sentenced
to execution that one or more wom-
en- do not bring him flowers and other
wise manifest their sympathy for him.
Perhaps the most rational expana-
tion of it is tnat it is an abnormal
development of the sentiment of pity
which has been so strongly implanted
in women for benefcent purposes. We
all join in the plaudit-
When pain and anguish wiring the
brow,
A ministering angel thou
And perhaps we should recognize
the imposslbility of always curbng
that divine gift Of pity by the exercise
of reason and judgment. But at the
same time women must remember that
when she does gives way to such an
impulse, towsru one who does not
deserve pity, she invariably brings
shame and ruin to herself

or quit. Upon the refusal of the super
intendent to do this, the men struck.
