IRELAND'S HANGwOMAN.
The Very Last Position for Which
One Would Expect n Member of
the Gentle Sex to Compete.

Women compete with men in many
trades, professions and other means
of obtaining livelihood, says the Lon
don Chronicle, but the very last in
which one would expect to find the
gentle sex is that which was so re-
Gently followed by Mrs. Ellington.
"Hangwoman" is an Objectionable
term, but is duly entered in the ''New
English Dictionary" The woman and
the word are both nineteenth century
productions. "Lady Betty" as she
was called, was not ill-favored, either,
and is described in the Dublin Uni
versity Magazine for January, 1850,
"as a middle-aged, stout-made, dark
eyed, swarthy-complexioned,b but by no
means forbidding woman" Ireland
was the scene of her labors, and she
officiated unmasked and undisguised
as a hangwoman for great number
of years, and often fogged in and
through the streets, being extremely
severe, particularly on those of her
own sex.

INSANITY RIFE IN SIBERIA.
Startling Revelations Regarding Ex-
listing Conditions by an Emil
nent Specialist.

DR.. Briantsoff, an eminent special
ist in brain affections, has published
some startling details regarding the
high proportion of insane persons in
Siberia. On this side of the Ural
mountains one person in every 500
is weak in mind, in Siberia one in
224, says recent report from St.
Petersburg.
"To Siberia" he says, "are sent
the high criminal elements of Rus
sian society, the depraved, the abb
normal. Besides, drunkenness is
fearfully prevalent. In the province
of Tomsk, with an area of 100000
square miles and a population of
100000, there is accommodation for
only eighty insane persons, and such
accommodation in other districts is
no better"
DIR. Briantsoff has visited such es-
adjustments as exist, and says they
remind him of some terrible passages
in Dante's "Inferno." There is no
proper sanitation, and the patients
often suffer from hunger and extreme
cold. Medical attendance there is
none, and when the patients are un'
ruly the ''wardens employ their OWL
methods"

NOVEL CURE FOR PROFANITY.
A Tin Medal That Was Put 10 Coed
Use In a Country-Town High
School.

1.-TWO boys in our high school have
a novel method of breaking them
selves OF swearing" said gentle
man from a country town. relates
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
THE habit of swearing had grown
among them until it was noticed by
the principal. He called them to-
gether and after showing them the
wickedness and folly of profanity
suggested a remedy. He had pre-
pared tin medal to be worn by the
last fellow using a cuss word. and
this, he said, would be hung on the
wall till the first oath was uttered,
when the swearer must wear 1t till
the next man swore, and so on. The
boys agreed to the plan and the
medal was hung up in view of all.
"The noon recess came and in five
minutes several of the boys came
running in TO get the medal. John
Smith had used an oath and they
wanted TO pin the medal on him.
John did not wear II long, for an
other boy soon forgot himself and
the medal was transferred. Before
the close of the noon recess seven or
eight had worn it. For several days
1t changed hands pretty often and
went nearly the round of the school.
Then it's unfortunate wearers found
1t hard to get rid of.

IOWA LEGISLATURE
Is Still Wrestling With Railroad
Bills and and Taxes.

Des Moines. Feb. 22.-Neither
house of the legislature was in ses-
sion today, adjournment being made
in respect to Washington's birthday.
An Intellectual effort was made in the
senate ways and means committee
Friday to force into publicity the
written communication embodying
the views of Lieutenant Governor
John Herriott upon railroad tax
legislation transmitted by him to the
which has drafted
amendments to the present railway
assessment law. Senators Crossley
and Trewin are understood to have
urged the subcommittee to divulge
the Herriott communication. A
declination is rumored to have been
followed by an acrimonious discus
sion and an agreement that the views
of the lieutenant governor shall be
read to the full committee later.
The senate railroad committee took
up the Ball and Hartman interurban
trolley railroad bills. The Ball bill
applies all of the existing statutes re-
lating to steam railroads TO inter-
urban electric roads; the Hartman
bill provides that cities may grant
these lines fifty year franchises,
them the right of eminent
domain and authorizes supervisors to
grant them the use of highways under
drastic conditions. The bills went
tn a sub committee composed of Hub
bard, Smith of Mitchell and Maids.

man for several months to collect bill

He works at night and never gets up
till noon. He won't be up for two
hours
"'Very well,' I said, I'll be back in
two hours
"'It won't be worth your WHILE she
said; I'm sure he hasn't got Sc, and
even if he had, shall see him before
you will. If he has any money in his
clothes'you can bet your life I'm going
to get it myself. I don't think you
stand much chance around here.

while to go back"

FREE AT LAST.

Constantinople, Feb. 24.-Miss Ellen
M Stone, the American missionary,
who with Nine. Tsilka was captured
by brigands in the district of Salon
aka September 3 last, has been re-
Leased and arrived at Strumitza, Mace
donia, at three o'clock Sunday morn
ing. Nobody was at Strumitza to meet
Miss Stone, as the brigands had given
no indication where they proposed to
release the prisoners. Nine. Tsilka
and her baby were also released at
the same time. They are all well.
Miss Stone immediately made herself
known to the authorities at Strum-
1tza. The first news of Miss Stones
release was contained in a telegram
received by Mr.. Dickinson, the Amer
lean consul general at Constantinople,
from the American vice consul at SAL
onika. The telegram gives no details
of the release. AS Strumitza is near
the Salonika- Uskub railroad Miss
Stone will proceed to Salonika with
out delay.
Boston, Feb. 24.-Dr. Judson Smith,
one of the secretaries of the Ameri-
can board, called at the residence of
Mrs. Benjamin F. Stone, mother of
Ellen NJ. Stone, the missionary, in
Chelsea Sunday afternoon, bringing
a cablegram dated Salonica, Febru-
airy %, containing the one word
"Safe," signed Haskell" DR.. Smith
understands this dispatch to Indicate
that Miss Stone, Nine. Tsilka and the
latter's baby have been delivered into
the hands of the American repre-
sentatives at Sores, Macedonia. The
-cablegram is from Mr.. Edward B.
Haskell, one of the missionaries of
the American board stationed at Sa-
lonica.
Washington, Feb. 24.-The state de-
partment has received a dispatch
from the United States legation in
Constantinople regarding Miss Stones
case. It was encouraging in character
and while it did not report Miss
stones release as an assured fact, yet
the tenor was such as to lead the Off
Gals confidently to believe that such
a happy contamination was matter
of a very few hours.
London, Feb. 24.-The press this
morning expresses its pleasure and
relief at the release of Miss Stone.
These expressions are coupled with
comments upon the danger that all
persons travelling in eastern Europe
are likely to run after such an unfor-
tunate precedent. although it is adj
mitted to be difficult to suggest an
effective remedy.

SPECIAL SERVICE.
Day to be Observed at
Stone chapel Sunday

Next Sunday morning at the regular
hour for service there will be a special
service at the Christian church. For
some time plans have been going for
ward to this day. 1t is to be the an
nual Foreign Missionary Rally of this
church. A special program, partaking
of the nature of symposium has been
prepared by the pastor, and will be
given by number of the members.
Judging from the program rich treat
is in store for those who attend.
There will be no collection taken for
this work or pledges asked for.
The growing interest in missions
within the Christian church, or Dis
ciples of Christ all over this country
reminds us again of the wonderful
power of the Missionary movement.
now every nation in the earth is open
to the Gospel. 1t was not so CEN
fury ago.
The Christian church has missions
in India, China, Japan, Africa, Turkey,
England, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Cuba, the Hawaiian and Philippine Is
lands. They have 271 workers and
stations in those lands. Strongest men
in this brotherhood are in these mis-
sion fields. These men are helping to
shape a new Christian civilization on
the ruins of hoary faiths. In Japan,
for instance. there is a public school
system which will compare favorably
with our own in America. The Imper-
ial University IN Toxic has more than
1000 students. The postal system in
Japan is thought to be as good as that
in America. Telegraph lines stretch
to every part of the land. All of this
and more has been done since the ad-
vent of the missionary into this land
less than fifty years ago.
The annual offering for Foreign Mis-
sions is taken in the Christian church
es, the first Sunday in March. The
churches have been asked this year
for 100000, and the church in Oska-
loosa is to have some part in this
work and hopes to raise not less than
s125.00. The purpose of the Rally
mentioned above is to create interest
and enthusiasm for this offering. We
wish the Christian church abundant
success in the effort TO raise the $780,
900: Tie Christian church has become
one of the leading bodies in the U. s.
numbering now more than a million,
ana their increase for last year is said
to have been about $4,000. The num-
Der of their churches is over 10000,
and are increasing at rapid rate each
year.
