Read about a cur--a brute more
savage than any wild animal that ever
made its lair in jungle.
II is not a pleasant story
IL is printed because it may arouse
public sentiment in favor Of the more
thorough punishment of a class of
human brutes who are growing all too
numerous
II is the story of Edward Gaffney a
New Yorker, of whom Judge said:
q have sent a great many men to Jail,
and sometimes / regretted It; but
take real pleasure in giving you the
full limit"
Ganney is q champion wife-beater. "
He has gloried in his brute s rength,
and turned its full force on shrink
ing litle woman, who clung to him
why, God alone accepted
bruises and curses, and calls him
husband toNhis day.
He was lazy-most wife-breaters
are. Tie ate the breal mat she earn
ed. all blacked her eyes because Of
The ecanty supply They were mar
rled in 1877, and since that time Gaff-
ney has spent 10 years in prison for
wife beating on - sentences. AT
present he is serving hye-year SEN
tence, with $1,000 fine
There should be no mercy Tor WIFE
heaters. The man who strikes a wo-
man is a coward, and there is just one
proper place for him--a cell. 1t is a
pity that the laws are no, SO construc-
ted that these maulers of women
could be compelled to work, which in
itself would be punishment; paid by
The state or municipality, and every
dollar of the earnings turned over to
their families.
And the sentences should be so long
and severe that the very thought OF
beating woman would make the
perspiration start and rear creep into
the heart

TO ABANDON ITS
 STEAMSHIP SOURCE

San Francisco, May 3.-With the sailing of the America Maru on the 18th inst, the To yo Kaisha will aban- don it's steamship service between this port and the orient until the close of the war between Japan and Russia. This information has been given out officially. It is almost certain the Nippon lfaru, sister ship of the Amer ica Maru, has been sunk by the Rus sians
 The company has therefore no yes sels for its San Francisco service. Even if the company had available steamers, it is doubtful if it could do any business in and out of this port. War insurance is up to 45 per cent on cargoes on Japanese vessels.
 Up to the present time the company has been unable to secure any freight or passengers for the return voyage of the American Maru, and according to present indications she will not carry pound of freight nor single passen- ger. She will leave here in ballast.

FINAL SETTLEMENT OF
 LAWLOR-SCADDEN CASE

The LaWlOr- -Scadden case was set tied up yesterday, some $5,5OO having been paid over to the plaintiff, Mrs Mary A. Lawlor who sued for some $14,0O0. The jury's verdict gave her $9,200, but the defendants, represent ed by Attorney John O'Neill, moved to have the verdict set aside on the ground that it was against the evil dence, and Judge George w. Wheeler stated that he would grant the motion unless Mrs Lawlor would agree to re- init $4 4,5OO.
 Mrs Scadden had distributed that amount to friends and relatives of her uncle, Michael McGivney, as he had directed her before his death, and Judge Wheeler did not think it right that she should be made to pay out this sum- Mrs Lawlor agreed to the courts suggestion. The case then went up on costs and this matter was decided last week. The money which Mrs Lawlor has received was paid out of the sum left Mrs Scadden by her uncle. On the whole the deter min'ation of the case is victory for both Mrs Lawlor and for the Scad- dens. The latter have the house MT McGivney gave them and the former has received almost one-half the amount she sued for.

FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Attorneys Trying to Save Mrs Powell Who Is
 Charged With Murder

Dover, Del, May 3.-The real light for the life of Mrs Mary Ann Powell began to-day. Attorney General Ward called the states witnesses in rapid order to prove that the prisoner had wantonly and brutally murdered Essie Albin on February 9 last be- cause of jealousy.
 The first few witnesses were dis missed without lengthy cross-examin- ation by the defending attorneys. For mal establishment Of the girls death was made, the location of the Powell farm house near Bowers Beach was established and diagrams of the build ing and rooms were shown. Stolid, but keenly alive to every move and question of the attorneys, Mrs Powell sat in the dock.
 As Sheriff Riley Melvin brought Mrs Powell into the court room, her husband, Alfred Powell. addressed a few words to her, but she passed on without replying. The sheriff said his charge passed a restful night, al- though she said she was beginning to feel worried last evening after her first day in court.
 It was stated today that Mrs Pow ell will be placed on the stand, but the line of defence has not been announc- ed by her counsel

WILL AGAIN LOCK HORNS.
Republicans to Meet Thursday--Sop
 Will be Given to Reformers.

The republican town convention will be held in the aldermanic cham Der on Thursday night when B. R. Kelsey. with a small following from the third ward, will go up against John Kellogg, backed by solid dele gation from the other four wards. If they care to do it the old-liners will be in a position to swallow" the op- position, but it is said that they will not attempt to wipe them out Things have come to a point where the Kel- seys and Peasleys have to be recog- nized, else they, will tip over the ship and land the whole crew in the water and the wise heads see this and are already making oyertures to the mi nority. There does not appear to be much difference of opinion regarding presidential nominees, all favoring Roosevelt, but there is a lively race on for places on the town committee and if the Kelseys and Peasleys do not get their share of the berths fur will fly at the next city election. Some very prominent republicans claim that a false impression has been put abroad on account of the constant reference to the Peasleys and Kelseys. From all accounts they are by no means the leaders of the opposition. It is said that the younger element nave grown tired of boss rule and want the people to have a trifie more to say in the management of the party. At the present time half dozen men can throw you down and there is absolute Iy no hope of ever getting right side up again. What is wanted is fair vote at the caucuses and this it is said, would soon result in a knockout blow for those who act as if they had a divine right to hold all the fat offices in the gift of their party and rule those under them with an iron rod.

RAILROAD
 WORKERS Held Conference at
 New Haven. Wage Demand Was the Chief Subject Under Dis cussion--President MelIen Having Gone West Was Not Present.

New Haven, May 3.-A conference between representatives of the various craftsmen employed in the car shops of the New York, New Haven I& Hart ford railroad and officials of the road was held to-day at the office or Percy R. Todd first vice president Before the conference began, it was under stood that the chief subject of discus sion would be the demand of the men for an increase in wages, and it was believed much depended on the result. The men expressed determination to present strong plea for some conces- sions in the way of a wage increase, but declined to venture any prediction as to whether a refusal on the part of the company would be followed by a strike. Outside the members of the committee, however union men seemed to hold the opinion that a strike was imminent
 While no official statement from the company was given out. there was a strong opinion among clerks in the big office building of the road that the company would decline to grant any wage increase whatever. It is said that the departure of President Mel len last Saturday for weeks stay in the west meant that he considered that the roads position had been suf- dciently defined to the car workers and machinists' committee in previous conferences and that there would be no deviation from that position, and no further concessions granted, the nfne-hour day demand of the men hav- ing already been allowed Tn view of this situation the outcome of the can ference to-day was awaited with great interest.
