Worse Than a Blow.

Another sufferer from the brutality of
husband writes to The Star as follows,
Withholding her name from publication:
while advocating the whipping post for
the wife beaters' could those husbands
who daily trample on the wives hearts be
included for punishment?
What are few flesh bruises; yes, even
IL the blood flows, compared to the life
blood dropping from the heart of the ne
elected and deserted wife. Time will cure
the physical pain, but time only makes he
other agony grow deeper. To know that
ones husband devotes all his time and
money to another woman, not a known
courtesan, and that the wife is compelled
to remain at home to take care of her little
enes. is harder lot than that of the wo-
man who has been beaten with a stick.
Where one wife can show the bruises on
flesh, dozen are weeping silently at home.
The first becomes public property, the lat
ter is hidden from the eyes of the world
by the wifes love and pride.
II write of what 1 know for I have en-
dured it ALL.

The Lash for Horse Beaters, Too.

The IaSn 1Or dOrSe-bedterS, 100.
Mrs. jeanette Knoble other uses
for the whipping post than the punishment
of wife-beaters saying:
while the whipping post has been sug-
gested as the best and only adequate pun
ishment for wife beaters, why not include
horse -beaters,' who are the worse fiends of
the two? A wife can strike back in her
own defense or get redress in the courts,
while the numberlesS poor beasts of bur-
den must go on and bear their torture at
the hands of beings whom name fifty
describes. The whipping post is the only
real remedy for such fiendshness. When
the court accepts a fine for cruelty and
crime it licenses the same If the brute is
able to pay his fine he is at liberty to go
out again and repeat the offense with in
creased animosity and spite. And a Jail
sentence in default of fine is yet more in
adequate punishment for the culprit,
who in all probability, is being better fed
and sheltered than he would otherwise be.
Filming such fiends for their cruelty and
brutality will never stop, or even have
tendency to curb the evil in the least.
almost daily witness scenes of cruelty to
animals that call for the whipping post. l
hope that every one who sympa thizes with
the poor dumb brutes will keep this SUBJ
ject agtated and constantly before the pub
lie and especially Congress, until it be-
comes a law. For, to give horse-beaters
dose Of their own medicine is the best
and only remedy for this greatest of all
lie

The oriental liner Aragonia. which

proceed to sea this afternoon. Yes
terday orders were received for the
vessel TO depart today and she win be
taken out at high water. just what
prompted the charterers to send the.
ship to sea could not be learned. but
II Is supposed the mild treatment
which was received by the Arabia, the

Russians, probably lessened the fear
that the vladivostok squadron would
confiscate the entire cargo Of any ves-
sci seized. A Toxic dispatch received
yesterday conveyed the information
that the Russian ships would probably
be brought to bay or driven of, and
this may have had a tendency TO re-
store confidence.
