The Trials Of Women.

The homes Of this country are filled
with women whose trials utterly de-
stroy the joys of existence. They are
the victims of female disorders and they
do not get relief, and they are forced to
drag through the weary years without
the hope of better days. All such should

the officials feel il necessary for their

shoot down the canvicts like dogs. but
they 90 not interfere with the inhab-
itants when they are merely murder

murder is committed somewhere on
tie island every Gay. While Mr.. Halves
was at the little settlement of Alexan-
drovsk four murders were committed,
one. that of boy, in the house where
he was stopping. He photographed
one man who had a record Of eight
murders and he was considered a dis

on by the murGerers. The most
atrocious murderer on the island,
