District Assessors,

In the appointment of the asses
sors of the District of Columbia.
the Commissioners appointed two
menin the persons of Messrs. Nye
and MaKinsie. Both men are COM
petent and The Bee is certain that
their appointments are acceptable
to the people.
There were several cOIOred candi-
dates for appointment, particularly
Mr. John F. Cook who represents
no one and never did. except John
Cook and his closed pocket book.
Just why he continues to be an nap-
plicant for Office after having been
in offieef for twenty-fveyears or more
and has never taken any interest in
the people and ne never wants them
until he is a candidate for some
Office no one knows. And those

ers representing to them that Mr.
Cook W, uld be acceptable 70 the col
ored people lied. The B as we'll as
the cOlored people have been cooked
enough. Of course The Bee would
have been pleased to have some de-
serving negro appointed and it is
of the opinion that none was any
more deserving than its Editor.
Fortunes sometimes come to those
who are patient, offices very often
seek the deserving and whereas
the Commissioners did not find a
deserving negro among the hundred
applicants, the editor excepted to
be sure, because he was not an ap-
plicant. 1t is about time for Mr.
Cook to "gO way back and sit
down" and get rid of his mania for
office. Let him live on the inter-
est of his money and rent from his
houses that good white citizens &C.
cupy. 1t is hoped that this ancient
candidate for office will retire.

KILLED THIRTY-0NE
Many Startling Crimes Committed
by Jane TOppan.
Administered Morphine and Afro
pine TO Her Victims-PassiOn TO
sIay and Burn Developed
in Childhood.

Not since the days Of Lucretia Bor-
gia and the other subtle poisoners
of the middle ages has there been
known equal to Miss Jane TOppan,
who has been locked up III the Iaun-
ton, Mass, insane asylum for. poison
ing Mrs. Mary d. Gibbs at Cataumet,
Mass, last August. By her own con-
fession the nurse has killed 81 sick peo-
pie who were under her care duringthe
past ten years. Some she murdered
by giving morphine and atrOPhine, and
others with pOisons she cannot re-
member, and when not gratifying her
passion by killing people she set fire
in the houses where she was a guest,
or was employed in a professional
capacity.
When Judge BiXby, Miss Toppan's
senior counsel, first visited her she
told him her dreadful story without
eliminating the revolving details, and
named 81 people whom she had killed
by administering poison. She seemed
to gloat over her success in hiding
from the physicians JAt TRUE CAUSES
of death in these instances, and then
she wanted TO know Of the lawyer how
she could be insane when she knew
she was doing wrong every time she
killed any one.
Miss Toppan began her revelation to
Judge BiXby by admitting at once that
she had poisoned Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs. Cor
don and Alden p. Davis, just as the
three indictments against her charged.
Doses of morphine and atropine were
used, she said,
Then she told how Mrs. Davis had
called upon her at Cambridge last
June to collect a note. She said that
she was seized with a paroXysm 10

that l had never known a drawer to
stick so in all my experience. I got
hold of both handles squarely and

that's all; I'd get about half an inch

And by Jimmy hoe-cakes, the
drawer was locked. The key was IN
the lock, and somebody had some
time or other turned it, and it had
never occurred to me TO try it now.
In fact, 1 never thought anything
about the key or the lock at all, one

It is possible that the hard require

in great measure for the great fall

should be our aim to give bim all

phine to Mrs. Davis. The old woman
partially recovered, but before she was
well enough to leave for her home at
CataumeJ Miss TOppan was melted TO
try again, and this time death followed
the injection of diluted morphine and
atroPine.
First she spoke of recent eases, those
of whose deaths Judge Bixby had read
in the newspapers. These were the
deaths Of Mrs. A. 0. Brigham, daughter
of Mrs. Toppan, the woman who had
taken her from an insane asylum: Miss
Florence \. Calkins, the hOusekeeper;
Mrs. Edna H. Bannister, sister of Mrs.
Brigham; Miss Myra COnnOrs, of the
Episcopal theological school at Cam
bridge, the woman who had given her
employment at the institution hospi-
tai and who had giver her a summers
outing at the marine biological station
at Woods Hole. and Mrs. McNear, Of
Watertown, who had befriended Miss
Ioppan in many ways.
She went back over the preceding
years and mentioned the names Of
the others whose lives had been put
in her professional keeping by doctors,
but which trust she had violated.
The lawyer said: Miss Toppan,
you must be insane"
'Insane?" she repeated. "How can
be insane? When / killed those peo-
Dla I knew that I ES-ac doir ~ ,,-rCro. I

From The Pine Bluff Herald,
This country is all stirred up by one
of the most hendish and dastardlv
crimes ever committed in this CITY,
The regilenCe of the officers of the
law alone averted a lynching perhaps
IN Pine Bluff. The four or FIVE wear
old little child of Mr. Frank Murray
a Well-knOwn white citizen. was most
hendiShlV and brutally outraged bv
young negro boy 70 or 20 years old by
the name OF Dan Kidd. a Young school
boy attending the Branch Normal Col
lege here last season. Kidd had work
ed at Mr.. MurraY'S house while going
to school, and in this way was enabled
TO perpetuate the crime. When the
child's condition was made known and
Kidd accused of it, he confessed. and
Mr.. Murray beat him into insensibilitv.
He should have killed him and saved
the county the expense and the other
negroes OF the community the disgrace
OF the crime and the humiliation of
mob vinlence-Kidd was spirited off to
Little Rock and is nov in the pen for
safe keeping.

izations, societies. and churches to
