THE ANGEL-FACED MURDERER.

While there has been much stupid
sentimentality in the case Of the
young wretch in Toledo who muir
dered his mother, the jury took a
severely practical view of the crime.
The only consideration shown him
was on account Of his years. He
was convicted but, instead of hang
ing, the penalty was fixed at impris-
onment for life.
The juvenile monster has been
celebrated as 1.-The angel-faced muir
derer' Like many another vicious
youth, he bears a strong resemblance
to his mother. He killed her in cold
blood with a hammer for purposes
of robbery and spent the proceeds in
dissipation. If determination is ever
justifiable in the case of criminals,
it might have been resorted to with
propriety in this instance.-New

Hester T. Griffith, a prominent tenn
perance worker of this city and the
members of the local W. c.. T. q.
call an educational marriage reform
bill, and they are working to get the
bill through the next legislature.
Mrs Griffith, who is president of
the Southern California w. C. T. u,
had this to say about the movement.
False modesty should not be per-
mitted for moment to enter into
this discussion. Large numbers Of
the people who fill the prisons and
hospitals are there because of the ig-
norance of their parents. Ignorance
is responsible for most of the sins
affecting birth. Even bad parents,
when they are first married, want to
have good children, and, If fully in
formed, will try to take the steps
necessary to have their children well
born.
II believe that putting the right
sort of information into the hands
of prospective parents will go far
toward removing causes that are f1ll-
ing our asylums and penitentiaries.
Facts concerning reproduction can
and should be taught in the public
schools. AS soon as a child begins
to ask questions it is time for him
to be told the truth, if it is presented
to him reverently"
Mrs. Griffith points to the fact that
there are $4,000 epileptic and idiotic
children in the United States, whose
ills in life were caused by ignorance
of parents.
The women of the temperance Or
CARNATIONS are conducting an active
campaign to get their bill through
the legislature.

dressee is notified to remit postage, and
if it be not received, the letter or other

not admitted to the mails of Great Brit
ain, even though the regular postage is
attached. and is admitted to the German
