that the sponge or mOistened roller
is used. So here we have the specta-
Gle of thousands of really decent and
cultivated people daily guilty of an
offence which they would not dream
of committing at the table.
The man who would swear and the
woman who would faint at the sight
OF some one at the table placing the
blade of the knife in his mouth, lick
inc it vigorously. and then using it
to cut a piece Of butter from the COM
mon dish and deposit it on his neigh
bors plate, expecting the recipient to
ear it without remOnstrance. will do
the same thing without hesitation or
repulsiOn when it comes to inclosing
postage stamps in a letter. So uni
ve1sal is the custom that the United
States government. when notifying
you by card that letter is held for
insufficient postage. prints COnspiCu-
OusIy as part Of the notice an instrUC-
ton TO inclOse the stamps loose in
stead OF fastening them to a card.
This filthy custom rises from
thoughtIessness. and from fear that
Ons or two stamps, if placed loose in
letter, may remain unseen in the
envelope or drop from the opened
letter unseen and thus be lost. But
there are two satisfactory ways of
avoiding this without touching the
adhesive surface of the stamp
Stamp sheets always have at the mar
gin a strip OF the paper on which they
are printed. which is adhesive on its
under side. If the stamps on the row
next 10 this border are saved. as they
should be, for remittances. the border
strip can be glued to the letter, the
stamps attached remaining perfectly
secure. but perfectly free.
Where these are not available, sim
ply take a penknife and cut slit
about half an inch long in the top of
the letter sheet. where you wish to
attach the stamp through this until
it fits tightly. and it Will be securely
fastened. This notice Of an appar
entity tritiing affair is worth while if
it shall serve to correct a sin against
,iecencv that is committed by tens of
thousands of people in this country
every day in the year.

COLORED BROTHER WAS SLIGHT

The "Piemaker' of the Seattle Re
publican says:
The Piemaker regrets to have to
take note of the fact that at the pres
ident's reception not a single negro
rectly, to participate In the city Of
Seattle there are three attorneys at
law, one retired army officer, one bus
mess man having property conserva-
lively valued at 800 600. and other
men in business. and yet the commit

zeal standpoint. did not see fit to ask

Tie Statesman is informed that the
saloon men of the city have formed
an organization for the purpose Of
promoting the reelection Of Gilbert
Hunt as mayor and the election Of
\. F. KEGS as chief of police SO far
as the Statesman knows the OppOsi-
ton 10 the Hunt administration Will
be chiefly on the issue Of a better
business administration Of the city.
No one proposes any persecution OF
the saloon men. although there will
unquestionably be a demand for q
better enforcement of the laws
against gambling and the sale Of
liquor to minors. Under the circum-
stances. therefore. it would seem 10
be the part of wisdom for saloon men
to remain neutral in the municipal
contest. merely exercising their right
to vote as individuals, the same as
other citizens Butting in sometimes
results disastrOusly to the butter. a
word to the wise should be sufficient

1t will not be easy to arouse much
indignation in the United States over
the threatened absorption of Man
churia by Russia. 1t is only in line
with the doctrine Of expansion
preached in our own country and by
virtue Of which we have acquired the
Philippines. Russia has just as
much right to seize Manchuria as
Great Britain had to seize Egypt or
France to take possession of NADIA
gascar So far as the trade of the
United States with Manchuria is con-
cerned there is little reason to doubt
that it will be just as safe under
Russian control Of the country as un-
der Chinese ownership.

Tho wife OF William Spencer. the
murderer of Detective Charles McFar'
lane. who Will be electrocuted at Sing
Sing next week. attempted TO jump
from the window of her home at No
1o4 West Twenty-fourth street. to end
her life to-day. Her great size made 1t
impossible for her to get through tho
window and 1t required the strength Of
six policemen to hold her in the ambu-
lance. She was taken to the New York
Hospital, where she is now 4 raving
maniac, strapped to a bed.
Since her husband was condemned to
death Mrs. Spencer has said little to
those about her. AS the day of his exc
cution drew nearer 1t became evident
to those who knew her that she was los
Ing her reason. h seldom slept. and
at such times would awake with a start
as II from some horrible dream. AS a
result she has been closely watched.
Early to-day she arose and paced the

Magnolia and Mrs. Mary West. who
lives on the same floor, were awakened
by her moaning and grumbltng. Mrs
West came into the front room Just as
tho frenzied woman put up the WINDOW
n started to jump out.
The child was aroused and aided by
Mrs. West chung to her mothers dress
Their combined strength would not
have been sufficient, but Mrs. spencer
weighs more than 800 pounds and her
hips would not go through the narrow
window.
The screams OF the child attracted the
attention of Policeman Standish. OF the
West Thirtieth street station. He ran
To the house and pulled Mrs. Spencer
from the window. Seeing the police
mar she tore her throat with her long
nails until the blood ran freely from a
number of wounds.
Standish saw that he could not cope
with her alone. so he despatched one OF
the many neighbors who had by this
time been attracted. TO the house for
aid. In a few minutes Ave men from
the station-house came, and 1t was all
they could do TO overcome her. Her
clothing was almost torn from her body
before she was strapped to a stretcher
and placed in the ambulance
The doctors at the New York Hospital
say h her mind Is a wreck from
worrying over the fate OF her husband.
Neighbors say that whatever his other
faults, the murderer was kind to his

FARM MEMORIES

He wanted me to prepare II even
oftener, but did not do so, for I vas
afraid he would take a dislike to the
food by getting too much OF Il, and |
felt certain it would help him IL he
would only continue its use.
He began to pick up rapidly, and
now he is well and strong again and
has gone back to business. and he
holds with honor a position that is

GIRL LASHED
At THE POST
Stripped to Waist and Whipped
with a CoWhide on Prison
Farm Until Blood Flowed and
She Sank Exhausted.

MILLEDGEvILLE. Ga. Aug. s.-The
fact that a Young woman was stripped
to the waist and dashed until exhausted
At the prison farm. near this place. has
created q storm OF protest and indig-
nation throughout the county.
The entire State Is becoming aroused
over the brutal exhibition. which may,
It Is predicted. result In the shaking o.
the entire convict system.
h act Is considered all the more
d~issraceful in view OF the fact that
the young woman. who Is serving a
term for defrauding Savannah jewellers,
was considered insane when she COM
mitted the thefts. She is Miss Manic
De Crist and comes OF an excellent fam
lily. Before her imprisonment she moved
In good society In Savannah and At
lanta.
Rebelled at Jail Rules.
Being a hiEh-spirited young woman,
she would not submit to some of the
severe disciplinary regulations OF the
prison farm and was charged with be-
ing refractory. She was sentenced by
h warden to be whipped and was
taken from the dormitory by two guards
and tightly dashed to the whipping post
near the prison yard.
Denuded of attire TO the waist. the
young was mercilessly dashed
with a cowhide In the hands OF a pow
erful keeper. The whipping continued
while the prison pyslcian stood by with
several attendants, noting the effect on
the prisoner. The physician was pres
ont simply to see that the young wo-
man was not punished beyond human
endurance. A description OF the whip
ping by an eyewitness Is as follows:
The lash was applied by a prison
farm guard. The young woman shrieked
and covered under the brutal blows and
was barely able to stand. her body cov-
cred with welis, from SOM OF which
the blood flowed hen she was released
and taken to her cell"
On her trial Tor obtaining jewelry
under false representations Miss De
Crist entered a plea OF insanity, de-
claring that she was not aware tina
she was guilty OF a crime. This did not
save her. however. and she was SEN
fenced to two years at the prison farm.
Miss De Crisis friends declare that "
she displayed any refractory tendencies
In prison they were due 10 her un-
sound MIND These friends will de-
mand q rigorous Investigation.
