A Heart To Heart Talk With The
Women and Girls of Penn
SVIVanid.

Why a woman's page? Must
women be fed ON special and di
luted diet? Can they not read as
men read?
They do read as men read-and
all that men read-and add the
woman's page to it.
Rightly conducted, it is the
earnest journalistic attempt to in
struct more than to amuse; well
edited, it steers clear of the en-
cyclopaedia and the boudoir.
1t should be all that well.
rounded, interesting, helpful woman
is-reaGy to put out a strong
hand wherever it is needed.
1t must take itself. 1t must be
honest. 1t must reflect what
might be.
A great class turns to the
woman's page for council for ad-
vice, for suggestion. The ready
made conventions OF one set of
people would be a misft on
another set, so why tell a woman
who has to cook and wash for a
husband and six children how to
instruct a footman to receive the
cards of callers?
A woman's page should be all
things to all women.
No woman's page deserves sue
cess that does not give to its least
reader a respectful hearing and
the best advice in its scope. 1t
must be kindly. 1t must inspire
confidence. 1t must enter into all
the homely duties of the. house
wife with zest and enthusiasm. 1t
must hold the affectionate friend
ship of its women.
All these things the woman's
page of "The Philadelphia Daily
Press" is and does-it is beyond
doubt the m )st practical and truly
ard helpful woman's page ever
offered Pennsylvania women. You
cannot afford to miss even one day.

A SENTENCE OF DEATH.
Tragic Ending of a Murder Trial In
Western Court.

a Western Court.
zone of the most tragic scenes l
ever witnessed" said an aged lawyer,
occurred in a small town in one of the
western states The judge was a man
of sixty or more, and i'll addition to a
most venerable and dignified appear
ance and manner he was the saddest
faced man ever saw. He had come to
our town ten or a dozen years before
him except that he was an able lawyer
and jurist and that his wife, who was
the only other member of his family,
and himself had some great sorrow.
'One night our town was all torn up
by robbery and murder and the cap
ture Of the killer and thief almost in
the act For wonder he wasn't lynch
ed then and there, but he wasn't, and
as soon as daylight came proceedings
were instituted against the prisoner,
and was appointed, with another
youngster, to defend him.
REALLY there wasn't any defense,
and l was frank enough to tell him
that he might be thankful If we could
save him from a lynching. He was a
stranger in the town, evidently led
there by some stories he had heard
of an old miser we had among us, and
was a man of perhaps thirty three or
thirty-four with most unprepossess-
ing appearance, greatly accentuated by
a weeks growth Of rough whiskers,
years Of dissipation and hard living.
In those days and in such cases the
laws delay was not much in force, and
by o'clock of the second day the pris-
oner was standing before the judge to
receive sentence. AS he stood there
that day harder looking customer |
think 1 never saw.
"'Have you anything to say why
sentence of death should not be pro-
nounced upon your said the Judge aft
err all the preliminaries were over.
"I have, your honor, If you are to
pronounce that sentence replied the
prisoner with an air Of almost imperti-
hence. AT least he added half apollo
getically, possibly under the circum
stances you might not care to pro-
nounce it.
'This was entirely out of the ordina-
ry, and / touched my client on the arm
and was about to remind him of the
customs Of the court when the judge
requested me to leave the prisoner to
him.
xviii you be kind enough to ex-
plain? he said in a strangely excited
tone.
"'Well, your honor responded the
prisoner without quaver Of voice, as
I'm your only som
But the judge heard no more. 1t
was evident that he knew the prisoner
was telling the truth, for, with a groan,
he threw up his hands and fell forward
across the desk in front of him, dead,
a little stream of blood trickling from
his lips. The excitement was terrific,
and in the midst of it the prisoner
dashed through a window and would
have escaped, but timely shot from
rifle in the hands of man on the out
side settled him forever. And, best of
all, his mother never knew. She lin
gered a few months after her hus-
bands death, and the entire popula-
ton of the town considered it to be
sacred obligation to lie to her about
the whole affair"

light of reason as applied to the or
binary rules of practice, and give due
weight to the later section Appar-
emily the object Of this legislation was
to prevent the granting of extensions
and the meddling OF Judges in cases
which they had not tried or which
were not properly under their control,
and yet in the case of the absence or
inability of the judge who tried the
action, to grant relief, or allow ex-
tensions to be made to deserving liti-
giants.
The argument advanced comedies
that if Judge Murphy had gone to
Reno and entered the order in open
court it would have been good but I'M
der this contention if he had stepped
through the door into the chambers
and made it, it would have been void.
Orders extending the time for filings
are business usually, or properly
transacted in chambers ana under
Section G573 can and ought to be
made as effectually in any part of the
State by the judge having the case in
charge, as if made by him in cham
bers or IN open court. Judge Murphy
was merely acting for Judge Curler
during his vacation. but by analogy
the construction claimed, if adopted,
would, in every case where a district
Judge dies, resigns or is succeeded,
invalidate the orders extending time
under section 1877 made out Of court
by his successor in office, although
they are of that character ordinarily
granted in chambers. This would
icti fUn
filing orders of the same kind,
and that the Judge who had tried the
cause as Judge Curler had done in
this instance. could make the order in
chambers, while his successor could
50 make it only in the cases tried By
him. and would have to be in court
to make these simple orders extend
ing time in actions which had been
previo sly tried by another Judge.
Appellants desired and We're entifl
ed to the time granted for the pur-
pose of enabling them to secure from
the court reporter who had lett the
State. transcript Of the testimony
given on the trial. which would ena-
BILE them to properly prepare the state
men,.
Under Section 1913 Judge Curler
could have made an order granting
them the extension at any place in
the state, and as during MS absence
Judge Murphy was requested by the
Court minutes to attend to all bust
ness for him. we conclude that he was
empowered to make the order at Car
son City as he did. and as Judge Cur
Ter could have done, and that it wa
not necessary for him 70 make the trip
to Reno and undergo the formality OF
opening court to enter ex parte orders
simply extending time, such as ara
usually made out of court.

for new trial and to strike out tbs

into it that year. Others stated that
water was running in the ditch and

were APPARENTLY in the same place and
of about the same capacity as 1t
present.
On behalf Of the defendant other
witnesses testified that they were
over the ground and saw no ditch
and that none existed there during
those earlier years. 1t is unnecessary
for us to detail the conflicting portions
of the evidence. These were careful
fully considered by the district court,
and Tor the reasons stated in it's deci-
sion, enforced by statements in deeds
made many years before any controv-
ersy arose, the finding that this ditch
was constructed and a prior approp-

titic and other departments each be-
came separate college, independent
Of the rest but all constituting the
university. Thus the farmers school
received the same recognition and sup
port as did each Of the others and the
young man who desired to learn the
science of farming was no longer dis
suaded from his purpose nor regarded
as lowering himself in the estimation
of the other students. 1t has taken
long to convince the world, and even
farmers themselves, that farming is q
science and this recognition is due in
very large measure to the persistent
work of the Grange. Thanks to our
order the agricultural college stands
in public and popular estimation on a
level with the legal, medical or classic
al colleges. There is no sneer to-day
at the young man who desires to edu-
cate himself for farmer. The college
graduate is not afraid to bury himself
on farm nor does he lose in popular
estimation in so doing. On the con-
trary the world is learning to expect
more than common from such a man.
