A TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK

New York, Sept. 9.-Charles O'Neil,
a janitor, died in hospital early this
morning, and his wife Ida was found
dead in their apartments, with two
bullet wounds in her body.
The tragedy followed a quarrel, In
which O'Neil accused his wife of hav.
ing been unfaithful. According to tho

he thought his wife was out Of the city
on a vacation she had been stopping at
a hotel in New York with another man.
Last night be accused her of this. and
told her that she would have to sign a
confession. Taking an unloaded re-
volyer from his desk, he put it to her
head. She begged him not to kill hory
saying she would confess. He lowered
the revolver, and as he did SO she ran
from the room. She returned in few
minutes with revolver, according To
O'Neil, and shot him twice. Impae.
diately afterward she turned the re-
volver ON herself and fred twice. 5no
fell and died instantly.
A coroner, who went to the O'Neil
apartments, found O'Neil's empty re-
yolver, but he also found slip Of paper
which seem to indicate that O'Neil
meant to load and use the revolver boz
fore morning. On the paper was writ
ten in mans handwriting: "Three
letters on the gas metre will explain
ALL" The letters were addressed ia
relatives of O'Neil, and asked for for
giveness for what he was about to do.
One of the letters disposed of his
property and life insurance to his sister.

1.-THE Farmers Balance Sheet for
1902, as prepared by W. R. Draper
and printed in the September Review
OF Reviews, shows that there are
o,43s, 922 persons engaged in agricuI-
tural pursuits, while all other in
dustries engage Is, $40, coo. One third
of the entire area OF this country is
devoted to tilling of the soil. There
are today 3, 739, ISL farms in the United
States, and the value of farm property,
including improvements, stock and
implements, is $50, 5l4, 0O1, 1888. The
number of farms mas quadrupled in the
past fifty years, while the value of the
farming land today is five times as
great as the selling price of fifty years
ago. More than LOCO, 600 farms have
been laid out and fenced in by settlers,
principally in the West, in the past ten
years. Fifteen thousand farms were
given away by the government during
1901. When tho Indian Territory is
opened for settlement, about 1901,
1900, 600 acres of fine farming land
will he offered for sale at low prices,
and farming will receive another
valuable acquisition to its ranks. There
are 3o6, GOO, 600 acres of unsettled land
in the United States ready for imme.
diate occupancy.
The total acreage used for farming
purposes is s4l, oo0, 600 acres-an ares
which would contain England, Scot
land, Ireland, Wales, France, Germany
Austria, Spain, Japan and the Trans
vaal, leaving sufficient room for severa
smaller countries to go in around tn
edges. None of these countries, or al
of them combined, would make
respectable showing with our agricul
tural products. The value of FAIR
exports in 1901 was 1851, CPS, 33l.

PUNISHMENT FOR WIFE BEATING.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 9.--Ths
establishment Of whipping post for
wife heaters was suggested by Judge
Finletter, inf Quarter Sessions Court
No. /, yesterday in imposing four
months sentence in the county prison
on John Groome The defendant pleaded
guilty to assault and battery on his
wife, Mary Groome, who said that her
husband frequently beat her and made
her life unbearable by his abuse.
1.-The punishment for wife beating,
Judge Finletter said, "never falls upon
the criminal, but upon his wife and
children. After so years. experience
in this court, l have never known a
case, however atrocious, that wife
did not intervene. The Biblical law
of an eye for an eye and tooth for
tooth suggests that the wife beaten
should be punished in kind. He should
be beaten with many stripes"

Speaker Henderson of the House of
Representative is reported as saying,
with reference to the plank in the Iowa
Republican platform which demands
reduction of those tariff duties that
shelter monopoly" that there are no
such duties.
And yet, by reason of tariff duties
that protect the American manufactur-
ers against foreign composition, and
enable them to form combinations that
prohibit competition at home, the
American farmer is compelled to pay
sl4 for pillow which is sold in foreign
markets for sl2.60. The Steel Trust
sells its steel rails in this country at
s25 per ton and in the markets OF
Europe at s23 per ton. American
barbed wire is sold at % per loo
pounds abroad and at 50 per 100 pounds
at home. American axes command
$. 20 per dozen in this country, but
are sold at $3.50 per dozen in foreign
markets. American table knives that
sell for sl5 gross at home may be
bought at sl2 a gross in Europe. And
American sewing machines are sold al
81 less apiece abroad than at home.
If the duties that allow such dis
ordinations against the American
people by manufacturers protected b!
the tariff are not sheltering monopoly
what are they sheltering?" inquire;
