was threatened with legal interference
for a time yesterday. when attorneys
representing James Summons and
John Lynch, under death penalty for
the murder of salOOnkeeper Patrick
Barrett. began habeas corpus proceed
ings. No judge could be found. how
ever, who would agree to grant the re
quests. The lawyers first sought the
appointment of a commission to take
the evidence of Neidermeier as to his
knowledge of the murder of Barrett.
Neidermeier some time ago made a
statement that he and two companions
had killed Barrett and that Summons
and Lynch were innocent When the
lawyers failed to have a commission
appointed they filed applications for
writs of habeas corpus for Neider,
meier. Judges Clifford, Gary and Bren-
tanO in turn refused to grant either or
the demands of the lawyers, declaring
that the writs asked for would not lie
because the accused had already been
sentenced and no trial was at this time
pending. The lawyers for Lynch and
Summons stated that they will try
again this morning to have the execu.
ton of Neidermeier stayed. ANY eff

viii Bid Son Farewell.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 22.-Mrs. Van
Dine, mother of one of the condemned
bandits, was on the point of departure
for Pittsfield to see Governor Yates to
make a personal plea for clemency
when she changed her mind, fearing
that if she were not successful she
would not arrive in Chicago in time to
bid her son goodbye. She according.
ly sent Governor Yates a telegram to
that effect and asked that a respite of
a few hours least be granted in order
that she could bid him farewell. She
left for Chicago at noon Governor
Yates telegraphed Sheriff Barrett of
Cook county TO allow Mrs Van Dine to
see her son last night, no matter how
late she might arrive at the Jail. Mrs.
Van Dine received a copy of this mes
sage when her train arrived at Joliet.

ANoEHgR RARNINe.

The gypsy moth continues to scare Massachusetts. and we were told the other day that all New England ought to be scared by it. We guess it will have to be if what Professor Morse of Salem says about the work of the moth egg destroyers is true. From four trees alone, where they had been seraping of the eggs, he collected nearly third of a cupful, numbering over seventeen thousand. The ground was fairly strewn with the eggs. He says that, if citizens even faintIy realized the misery in store for them, they would devote a few min utes each day to their destruction. Chil- dren can assist in the work, in which as much pains could be taken as in seeking pests within the house, like buffalo bugs, moths and other insects. Profess sor Morse says that the eggs should be burned or thrown into cesspooL As a result of his note two little girls started out with spoons and cups ana brought in cigar box full of the eggs-the mak. ing of half a million or more caterpil- lars-scraped from a few trees on the street. But then there are lots of clus- ters high in the trees which children cannot reach. The trouble with scrap ing off the clusters is that many eggs may remain or fall to the ground, leav- ing the place more or less infested.
 There are those who hint that as long as the appropriations hold out in Mas sachusetts the gypsy moth will hold out theA. The situation is an unpleasant one for Connecticut as well as Massa- chusetts. No gypsy moths wanted here. Why can't good old Massachusetts hon. estly and thoroughly wipe them out?.

NOT ApKGT40HLIR.

The Japanese navy didn't do the Rus
 sian navy up as quickly and completely
 as the United States navy did the navy
 of the poor spaniards, but it has managed to make the Russian navy ipretty innocuous. Its work is much admired by naval officers in Washing
 ton, who are reported as saying that
 the Japanese have shown that they
 care nothing for the spectacular fea- lures of warfare, They adapt business
 principles to their battles and that is all Tn the case of the Novik the Japa-
 nese vessels began their attack on the
 afternoon of the goth. Having heav- fer armament they stood off and bat tered the Novik at long range, where the return fire from the latter was per Ifectly harmless. When darkness fell, 1 the Japanese ships ceased firing and
 waited for morning, when they renewed the attack in the same fashion, Final ly the Novik was practically shot to pieces and beached. The engagement
 was not spectacular or interesting from a sentimental point of view, but, ac- cording to the naval authorities, it was fine business" Admiral Togo, they say, followed the same general scheme lin his battle with the Russian Port
 Arthur squadron, The Japanese Admi- ral played a waiting game, trusting to the better marksmanship of his men at long range, and while he did not anni- hilate the Russian fleet, he inflicted
 material damage without much harm to
 his own force. It is the hardest possl-
 ble thing for a naval commander to sacrifice every particle of the spectacu- lar from his work, the naval critics say. and they all express the greatest
 admiration for the Japanese comman- ders-in-chief for their success along this and other lines.
 Perhaps when the Japanese are about
 to conclude their careful arrangements,
 or prearrangements. they may throw lin something spectacular. Perhaps they have some good words all ready to say when they get ready to make history etc, etc, They are wonders.

BUSINESS WOMEN.

I J a= The business woman is none the less a, woman because she. is in business, and there is, think, nothing more honorable than the woman who boldly goes out. because necessity prompts her to do so, and makes her way in some financial undertaking, say Lady Henry Somerset in the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 Again and again I have known in stances of men who have failed in business who have had homes of ease and comfort, whose wives have neayer flinched when it has been necessary ! for them to become bread winners and have opened shops in the most fashion, able throughfares. They have not been ashamed to serve behind their own counters and to sell to the friends whom they often met in the equality of social intercourse. For such 1 have nothing but admiration.
 l Moreover, there are many brave girls who find it necessary to earn their liv- ling by working in banks, in the Post
 
 lcial houses today.
 There is, however, as have already said, one form of business life which l strongly deprecate, and that is only too common at the present time. A girl, perhaps, has a good home and nothing much to do. She wishes to in crease her annual income in order that she may have more to spend upon her pleasures, and consequently 1t comes labout that one of the greatest hind rances to the success of the wage earn ling woman is created by the fact that that there are hundreds, especially of young women, who go into the labor market from homes of ease and com parative affiuenee simply to eke out their pin or pocket money.
 By accepting less than 3 living wage { they do an incalculable injustice to their sisters who require a living wage in order to live. Every woman who sets out to earn her own living ought ito see that the fact that she does so injures no other who needs the same provision in order to exist.
 But to turn to the strongest objection against business life for women. I re- cognize, in spite Of all that may be said or denied, that there is no question to my mind that in business life the seri- Ious handicap to woman is generally lhelth. It is useless to minimize this as pect of the question. It exist They do not run an equal race with men in res pect.
 Then there are other difficulties con- nected with clothing, with right feed- ing and with the treatment of the phy- sical side of existence, which must oc- cupy a larger space in a woman's life than in mans Anxiety and uneasiness break a woman quicker than they do q business man. She puts her whole soul into her work with greater eagerness, lexpends more of her vital force, gives herself to whatever she undertakes and

WAKING UP.

England is waking up. One of the signs is the establishment of a faculty Iof commerce and administration at Manchester University. Its aim is to give a systematic training in the high Ter commercial subjects, methods of government and administration, and in economic and social investigation. Among the languages in which instruc- tion is offered is Chinese, including writing and pronunciation, and Arabic, including spoken dialects. Associated with the professional teachers are men engaged in business; banking will be taught, for instance, by men practically conversant with the business of bank. The course of the degree of bachelor will include, besides general studies, two modern languages as we'll as one or two special subjects, while for that of master, bachelors of three years standing who have carried on advanc- ed studies and presented an acceptable thesis will be eligible. The felt need of a broadening of university education is also shown at Oxford by the estab- lishment of a diploma in economics. The scheme of examination combines a general knowledge of the principles of economics and of the recent commercial land industrial history Of the United Kingdom, with a more detailed &C., quaintance with special subjects, to be selected from a wide range of choice, in theoretical, historical, ana applied economies. The lectures and instruc- tion, beginning next October, will be open not only to members of the uni versity, but to others intending to pur- sue business career or to enter the public service, as well as to foreigners and women students.
 England and the United States may yet know as much about some things as Germany does.

President Woodrow Wilson of Prince ton University tells of a certain math- ematician who was remarkably absent minded. One day he was walking along in the gutter instead of on the side- walk, when his way was barred by a carriage which was standing in front of the store. The polished back of the ve- hicle suggested to his mind a black board, so he took a piece of chalk out Of his pocket and began to work on an abstruse problem. Finally the carriage started off and he followed, still keep ing at work, until the pace became too swift for him. Then he looked about him In a dazed way, pocketed his chalk and started for home.
