ANARCHIST FATALLY SHOT.

Voltarrine lie Cleyre, noted anar-
chist and teacher of languages, was
mysteriously shot and mortally wounded
by Herman Helscher, former pupil, in
Philadelphia yesterday. The woman is
dying in a hospital and Helscher is in
custody. Unrequited love is said to
have prompted the deed. When ar
rested Helscher's only explanation was
the following: "We were sweethearts,
she and l. She broke my heart and
deserved to be killed" Miss le Cleyre
is thirty-six years of age and her as
sailant is twenty-four. The shooting
occurred on the street in broad day
light, and was witnessed by score of
persons Miss le Cleyre was standing
at street corner awaiting car. Hels-
cher, who had disguised himself by
means of false mustache, approached
her from the rear and accosted her. AL
most at the same moment he drew re-
volyer from his pocket and pointed 1t at
the woman, who turned and attempted
to run away. She had gone only few
steps when Helscher began firing upon
her. After discharging five shots at the
fleeing woman, three of which took eff
feet, he replaced the pistol in his
pocket and started to walk away.
He made no effort to escape and
was Immediately arrested. Miss lie
Cleyre ran short distance and
then sank exhausted upon door step.
She was carried into the house and from
there removed to a hospital. In her
statement to magistrate she denied ac-
quaintance with Helscher, but when he
YVES brough. before her minus the false
nustache she at once recognized him.
She declined. however, to accuse him OF
having shot her, but asked the police II
he had admitted it. Neither would she
state the nature of her relations with
Helscher. Two bullets took effect in the
woman's right side, below the shoulder,
and another EMBEDDED itself in the right
side OF the chest. The physicians hold
out no hope for her recovery. Miss le
Cleyre has attained wide spread notoriety
through her anarchistic utterances and
her intimacy with Emma Goldman and
other anarchists. She is an accomplished
linguist and musician, and has written
much anarchistic literature and many
erotic poems. Helscher is a cigar-maker.

AN OLD SOUTHERN CHRISTMAS

When the family were all up ana
dressed, then the great bowl of eggnog
was distributed in punch cups to the
family, thinibleful to the children, a
tumblerful each to the servants, and
then breakfast. Wafies, hot corn
cakes, faky rolls, beaten biscuits, white
and light as feathers, broiled woodcocks,
with their heads tucked under their
wings; quail on toast; French coffee,
which stained the proclaim cups yellow,
it was so strong, and the white children
each had his favorite negro child,
usually about his own age, brought in,
who squatted on the floor close to the
little master and shared everything in
common with him, Notwithstanding
the threat of the older servants, de-
livered in an undertone 'Dem good
things wasn't made for you. | got a
great mind to bust you wide open p
which only brought grin to the shin
ing, fat little faces. Breakfast fairly
over, the baying of hounds could be
heard, and the neighing of horses. One
neighbor after another came in, with
game bag over his shoulder, his boots
outside of his trousers, with shotgun in
hand and copper powder flash tied about
his neck with cord. They took a
glass of eggnog, and by the time they
had all assembled 5 or 20 mounted men
and several negroes on plow horses clat-
tered off across the prairie. The
game was in immense quantities,
wild ducks, plover, wild geese,
deer, sometimes bear and more
rarely still "painter" Qanther), now
called mountain lion or wildcat, and
they brought home a wonderful harvest
of game. As the day wore on the negroes
serenaded the ''great house" by singing
their own hymns, such as
If you want TO make ole Satan run,
Why, shoot him with yo' gospel gun.
Load yo' gun with hope and grace,
And shoot ole Satan in de face.
Thanksgiving has too lately passed
for me to describe the huge turkeys, the
roasted sheep and the other good things
provided for the Christmas feast, to
which the hungry hunters did full JUS
tice, while the wide-eyed children lis
tened to their talk with silent delight.
Our old overseer had been of the hunt
ing party and remained to dinner.
Proud of his achievement, he narrated to
the assembled company that he had re-
Gently learned to read, and he found the
Bible "a bully book" The only per-
son he 'could not stand was old Abra-
ham; he was too forgitiul for any use; he
not only forgot Isaac and Jacob, but he
forgot the II tribes of Israel" For the
few survivors of those happy days, time
will soon be no more, but to have lived
them in an era of universal good-fellow-
ship, which hope now is again promis-
ing "peace on earth and good will to
men," is happiness for which | thank

Unfortunately his name is unknown.

as brought him TO the public notice tho
other day.
1t was at the Burlington station. A
big, honest Swede, about to depart for
the coast, was bidding his sweetheart
goodbye. As the train was about TO
start, he clasped the young woman in
his arms md planted tender kias on
her lips. Some young women standing
nearby Uttered.
Then the brakeman stepped INTO the
breach. "Shut up." he said. you'll
never do that kind OF thing; your heads
are too hollow"
1t wac not courteous rebuke, but
the form may be forgiven because OF its
honesty. The young women deserved
the censure.

Senator Depew recently delivered n
speech in the senate in support OF the
ship'subsidy bill in which he advanced
some Of the strongest reasons for the
passage Of the bill that have yet been
given. The advlsability of such legis-
Iation is not by any means onesided
question. There is good ground for
argument both Tor and against such leg
isiatiou. The discussion OF the bill in
the senrte shows this. The bill as re-
ported by the committee received
severe criticism in some provisions by
some republican senators showing plain.
ly that the consideration OF the measure
is not being made strictly aloug partisan
lines.
The state herald., 1902-03-21

Several times the national house OF
representatives has passed joint reso-
luton for IN amendment to the constitu-
tion providing for the election OF
United States senator by direct vote Of
the people, but never till the present
session have there been enough members
OF the senate favorable to such q meas
ure to even succeed in having such q
measure reported out by the COMMITTEES
for consideration. The joint resolution
recently passed nv the unanimous vote
OF the house has not yet been reported
on by the committee to which it was re-
fered IN the senate bat vigorous de.
mand for such report has been made
by the advocates Of the measure and
there 20 good reason for believing that it
willbe reported, There is very little
prospect for the passage Of the joint
resolution when reported but dircus.
sion OF the question will be had and the
general public can learn from that on
what ground the objection to this pro-
posed change in the mode OF slscting
senators is based. Nineteen states
through their legislatures have declared
in favor Of this amendment and there is
no question about large majority OF
the voters OF the nation being in favor
of the amendment. The proposed
change will however be fought by some
OF the oldest and ables. Of our senators.
These men will oppose the change not
from partisan or personal motives but
because they believe there are good
grounds for protesting against such q
radical change IN the mode Of selecting
senators Us handed down by the trainers
OF the constitution. It's probably all
for the best that the senate has treated
thus matter in such conservative man
ner for 1t may be that thorough dis
cusslon of this question will have a
tendency to somewhat cool the enthusi.
asm that has for several years been de-
manding an immediate change. 1t will
ft least give time and opportunity for
cool and careful consideration OF the OBJ.
iections to such change.

Denver paper expresses regrets at the
fact that the bill to repeal the act sub
mitting the Buckllu tax system to a
vote OF the people failed to pass at the
extra session. The extra session did a
very proper thing when 1t refused to re
peal that act, That question was re.
gnlaily submitted to the ,o.ers of the
state by the action oi the legislature
and, that having been doue, the voters
OF the state and not the legislature
should pass uopn the question. The
parties who urged the passage OF tn.
repeal measure must have done SO
either because they were afraid to trust
tho voters to settle n question OF this
kind or because they feared that to leave
the question for settlement at the polls
might be used as political capital IN the
campaign. The question can now go TO
the voters and can be fought out on it's
merits. 1t will be quite . relief to the
voters to have the campaign orators
spend part OF their time In talking on
questions of this nature md not as much
time ms common on the question OF who
s TO be the United States senator. Ifa
fight il forced on s,x constitutional
amendments, the campaigners will have
very little time to talk about the
Offices.
