In December 1897, woman named
Augusta Mack was sentenced to the
penitentiary Of New York for fifteen
years for killing William Guldensuppe.
She was discharged in July, 1907, after
ten wears service. The man who with
her conspired to entice Guldensuppe TO
a lonely house and there to kill him
was hanged. Mrs. Mack returns TO the
world to find all the world turned
against her The story Of her life toi-
lows her wherever she goes. From the
moment she left the Auburn prison
the photographers followed her, ana
her picture appeared in the New YORK
papers, with the story Of her crime

hotel after another. Everywhere sne

punish her. She found herself an ISM
maelite, a stranger in strange world

told the reporters that her mother was
still living in Germany, whom she had
deserted years ago; that mother was
the one person in all the world willing
to receive her and shelter her. The
wages Of sin Is death. This woman
has found the truth of this proverb.
New York, August 10: Governor
Glenn Of North Carolina. who is In
New York to consult with the attor-
neys in charge of the states case In
the hearing Of the Southern railway
injunction suit, talking Of the situa-
ton Of the state, as brought about by
the act Of the Legislature to regulate
the railroads, said: II have no patience
with this cry that legislation in our
state and elsewhere in the south along
these lines Is going to retard the de-
yelopment Of the southern states by
frightening capital, hurting railroads
and in effect, killing the goose that
lays the golden egg. I am an indus
trial governor have always made 1t
a point to protect capital and protect
the railroads from anything that was
unfair. but when the railroads try to
run us, then 1t Is time to call a halt.
There was only once that this matter
became serious. Had Judge Pritchard
tried to get our prisoners away from
US and adjudged Judge Long in con-
tempt, certainly would have backed
up Judge Long with every soldier and
every deputy sheriff in North Carolina.
OF course, II President Roosevelt had
sent troops into our state the state
would have had to throw up our hands,
as one state could not fight tie Union,
but we should have appealed - the
voters of the country and think they
would have been with us. There is
only one way Of dealing with these
railroads. The point should be, Is the
railroad making money? If 1t Is maxi
ing money over reasonable profits,
then it should submit to. a reasonable
reduction in rates. The North Caro-
lima law permits the roads to make 10
per cent. think that is a pretty good
profit"
New York August IS: Leslie NJ.
Shaw, formerly secretary of the treas
ury. now president Of the Carnegie
Trust company, authorized the follow
ing interview on the present financial
and Industrial condition today: "Our
farms produce more than $6,500 ,000,-
900 per annum, and the prospect is
good for an average crop. Our mines
produce more than $1.500,000.000. and
our forests more than $1,000,000 900
And neither of these sources of wealth
has been exhausted. The output of
our factories, in other than food pro-
ducts, Is approximately $l2,OOO,OOOO OOO
and no fires have been eXtinguiShed
The railways earn more than $4,000
OOO,O 900 and they are all in successful
operation. The payrolls of our fac
tories and railways aggregate approx
imately 5OO.OOO,O0O and the scale OF
wages has not been reduced. In other
words. the real sources of the peoples
wealth have not yet been affected and
the ability Of industrial concerns to
pay dividends is not measured by the
market price OF their stocks. Logical
reasons for serious conditions are
therefore. wanting. Psychological rea-
sons are never wanting. If l judge
correctly, the people will have exactly
what they expect. If those who have
money in banks withdraw it and lock
it up: IL the banks refuse to grant ac-
commodations, and If the consuming
public still declines to place orders,
then we will very soon witness the ef-
fects. Let those who think that times
