MORAL PAUPER, SAYS
ROSE PASTOR STOKES
OF MISS MOROSINL

New York. Nov. 27.-Miss Giulia
Morosini's, declaration that she spent
100000 a year in dress has called forth
a spirited reply from Mrs. Rose Pastor
Stokes, who brands the young womap
of wealth as a moral pauper and says
n squanders fortunes while thousands
of her fellow beings starve.
Tt is because such ome as Miss
cost that the woInen of the working
class are compelled to think constant
ly what the things cost. That rudo
awakening is bound to come to all Of
us some day, perhaps at a greater cost
than we can afford, unless such women
who spend great wealth which they
never have done anything to earn beA
gin to think Of the deep injustice UNI
derlying our economic and social con.
ditions.
why do not women who live on thu
sweat of other women's brows ever
think of the injustice of their position?
Miss Morosini y I never would
wear anything imitation
1T may be a mark Of good taste tc
wear nothing imitation, but it is a mark
of far better taste and culture to de-
sire to be nothing imitation.
THE women of Miss Morosinis class
may not be aware of the fact that they
are paupers, but they are. A pauper IA
pne who, either from inability or I'M
willingness to support himself, is sup.
ported at the expense of the comnluni-
ty. The truer pauper of the two, ii
seems to me, is he who can but is I'M
thrown upon the shoulders of the com.

ing. AT Slater the robber, wearing a
mask over his eyes, boarded he train
and made fifteen passengers shell out.
When the train stopped at Arm
strong on orders officers boarded the
train and caught the robber red handed.
ST. Louis, Nov. 26.-Conductor Hey

new STAMPS TO AID
IN TRACING ROBBERS
ISSUE Of 1907 Will Bear Names
Of Cities and States in Which
They Are Sold.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2s.-Postage
stamps of the issue of 1907 put on
sale at the 5000 presidential postoffices
Twill bear on their face the name of the
state and city in which the postoffice
lis situated.
The chief reason for this innovation
is said in the postoffice department to
be the belief that it will help do away
with the big p~ostoffice robberies and
make it much easier to trace criminals.
The postoffice robbery in Chicago a
few years G is q good example of the
ease with which stolen postage stamps
can be disposed of, for no trace of the
!perpetrators IA ever discovered, al
though nearly 500, 900 worth of stamps
were stolen, and these mostly of small
/ denominations.
Another reason for the change is to
enable the p~ostoffice department to de-
termine the mou of business done
by the different postoffices and to pre-
went padding through stamps sold at
some offices to residents who do bust
ness in adjoining cities.

NUN AS A WITNESS,
COURT IN CONVENT
Testifies Behind Curtain i,
Case Of Woodcutier Charged
With Stealing.

Vienna, Nov. 2S.-The criminal court
at Salzburg has been forced to hold a
sitting in a convent, owing to the re-
fusal of a nun to give evidence in pub
lie.

convent on the Nonnberg was on his
trial for stealing, and the evidence of
Sister Celestine, Of the nuns, vas
material. She, however, refused to at
tend the court on the ground of her
vows, which forbade her to allow her
self to be seen by men.
{; An appeal to the archbishop of SalZ-
burg elected the reply that only the
pope himself could release the sister
from her VOWS. SO arrangements were
made for her to be examined in the
convent.
The judge and the counsel were ac-
.icommodated in the visitors room, while
Sister Celestine, supported by the abb
ibess, took her place behind a curtain
$50 that she could be heard but not seen.
The sister then underwent an exami-
nation and cross-exarnination, and on
sher evidence the man was condemned
Ito two months Imprisonment.
The anti-clerical papers here protest
against evidence given in this way be-
ing admissible.

police stations or hospitals suffering

that the wounds had been inflicted by
an aged humpback of extremely ugly
appearance.
He invariably offered money to tho
women to allow him to draw blood from
them with a penknife, but the sight OF
blood seemed to put him in a frenzy,
and he would proceed to slash them
about the neck, arms n breast.
Then he rushed off and apparently
changed his dress to avoid identiica-
ton.
The police searching for him believe
he is an old man of great wealth, noted
for several years past for his eccentric
habits.
