STARVED TO CHEAT GALLONS.
Samuel Monich Hanged For Murder
of Mrs. Harriet Decker.

Morristown, N. Weak and ema-
ciated. Samuel Monich, who shot
and killed IRIS. Harriet Decker,
daughter of Wilbur Kayhart, a
wealthy farmer of this city, on jan
nary Is, was led to the gallows in
the Morris County jail and hanged.
For two months Monich has re-
fused to take any solid food and it
was necessary for the prison off,
Gals to force whisky and milk down
his throat in order to keen life in his
body. So weak did Monich become
that Sheriff Shaw dispensed with the
death watch.
Monich was employed in the Cap
stick Mills at Monville, and although
he had a wife and three children liv-
ing in Hungary, became infatuated
with Mrs. Decker. She was sepa-
rated from her husband and lived on
her fathers iarm, a short distance
from the boarding house of Monich.
He went to the Kayhart farm and
concealed himself behind come
bushes. When Mrs. Decker, hearing
a peculiar noise, went from the house
to investigate, Monich fired five shots
at her, all of which took effect. He
then reloaded the revolver and shot
himself our times.
g Despite his wou-d DIS he managed to
reach his boarding house, where he
was arrested later.

KISSING BARRED IN INDIANA

Season Rules.

indianapolis, Ind.-Indianapolis
and Indiana generally are laughing
at and Quizzing the State Board of
Health. To block consumption, tu-
h srculosis and incipient germs of the
white plague the board thinks that
kissing should be stopped.
kissing on the mouth is particu-
llarly Objectionable, and in a set of
rules for school children" the board
speaks especially of the kissing habit.
do not kiss any one on the mouth
or arrow anybody to do so to you,"
the rules say.
In the opinion of the board the
germs of consumption may easily be
communicated in this way, and it is
suggested that not only children, but
grown people, may well do away with
the habit of kissing each other on the
mouth when they meet in the street
or in the home.
Among other suggestions to school
children are the following:
do not put your fingers in your
mouth; do not wet your fingers in
your mouth when turning the leaves
of books; do not put pencils in your
mouth or wet them with your lips.
do not hold money in your mouth;
do not put pins in your mouth; do
not put anything in your mouth ex-
cept food and drink; do not swap
apple cores, candy, chewing gum,
half-eaten food, whistles, bean blow
ers or anything that is put In the
mouth: peel fruit or wash it before
eating it; never cough or sneeze in a
persons face-turn your face to one
side or hold a handkerchief before
your mouth; keep your face and
hands and finger nails clean; wash
your hands with soap and water be-
fore each meal; when you don't feel
we'll, have cut yourself or have been
hurt by others, do not be afraid to
report to the teacher; learn to love
fresh air and learn to breathe deeply.

aE1a
: New York City.-Inspired by the
unexpected success of the crusade to
close the gambling-houses in Sara
toga, the anti-gambling element in
tho State. a already begun an az
tive campaign to stop betting on ace
tracks.
The Cassidy-Lansing bill TO pro-
hibit "a track betting, which was
buried in committee in the last Leg
islature, will be introduced at the
next session and a determined effort
will be made to pass it, regardless of
what political party is successful at
the polls next November. -
Governor Higgins is on record
against race-track betti 6. At the
time the Cassidy-Lansing bill was in
troduced he gave it his Endorsement.
from a moral viewpoint" said
the Governor, lit is impossible for
me to understand how the act CT a
man on one side OF a fence inclosing
a betting ring can be legal when on
the other side of the fence it is a
crime"
If ace track patrons cannot bet on
the track they will not go to the
races. This has been established
many times in various parts of this
country. Immense sums invested in
race tracks in New Jersey and Mis-
souri, we're recently rendered profit
less by the passage of a law prohibit
ing betting. New York capitalists
started a running meeting up at
Salem, N. H., last month. The au-
thorities stopped the betting feature
and the first meeting was a paralyz-
frost.
The growth of racing in this State
In the last few years has been phe-
nomenal. From 1000 to 10000 peo-
pie attend the metropolitan tracks
every racing day, a great majority of
them paying So apiece for a badge at
the gate. On big days the attend
ance runs up to $4,000 and 10000.
Within the limits of Greater New
York OIL on its borders there are six
great r~ace-tracks, representing an in
vestment of probably $4,000, 900 at a
conservative estimate. The other.
tracks in the State are at Saratoga
and Buffalo. During the season
there are q~uartered around the Long
Island tracks upward of 1000 racing
NURSES, Oy an army OF
trainers, stable hands, Jockeys, rub
bers and general hangers on.
It is the contention Of the reform
ers that the race tracks constitute
a damaging drain, that they make
thieves and forgers and broken
homes-that they are, in short, an
evil demanding eradication.
The Rev. A. s. Gregg, Field Secre-
tary of the National Reform Blu
reau, is at the head of the fight
against the race tracks. He is one of
the busiest men that aver engineered
a crusade. Ever since the opening of
the racing season he has been at
work personally and through agents.
He appears to have limitless sums of
money and is tabulating evidence by
the bale.
He expects to show the Legislature
that bettiug on the race tracks is
open and fiagrant, that pool-rooms
cannot be cut o. from the news of
the ace ~acks and that the Jockey
Club-indirectly but none the less
certainly-proits by race track bet
ting and could not maintain it's ex-
pensive establishments were it not
for the fact that gambling on the
race tracks is allowed.
