NeWS From Across The
- Puddle e@e

LONDON, Nov. 26.-The immoralit-
is on the increase among the women OF
England, and especially among gentle
women and so-called respectable girls
is the striking statement made by
clergymen and sociologists at the re-
cent conference of the Moral Educa-
ton society in Manchester One
prominent clergyman openly declared
that he was not so much concerned
about the girls who did not go to
church as the girls who attended the
Bible classes, meetings, and church,
and he was afraid, also, a great num-
Der of communicates. They got it
from the police reports, also, that this
kind of immortality was tremendously
on the increase among the so-called
respectable girls.
Rev. Dr.. Goodrich, who presided
referred to the need of more enlight-
eminent among the young, and said the
l secrecy or the silence that was OBJ
| served nowadays with respect to NOR
al questions was frequently interpret
ed by young people as "a sort of per-
mission for error with respect thereto.
Rev. A. E. Reardon said they ought to
amount of knowledge that existed If
| there was an ignorance of that which
was right, he was quite sure there
| was very great knowledge of that
which was wrong He had to deal
with hundreds of young men and
| women in the young peoples clubs in
Manchester, and he knew that the
| knowledge the young people had
would appeal most to them. He knew
| of one place in Manchester where sew
| eral hundred girls were employed, but
| the workmen could not possibly be
| brought in until the forewoman had
oblterated the epithets written on the
| walls by the girls in the workshop.
Miss Rose, secretary of the Liver
pool Branch of the National Vigilance
association, delivered an outspoken
address on the morals of young peo-
pie. For long time they had felt that
| it was absolutely criminal of parents
| to allow their children to go out into
the world without telling them some
thing of the dangers they would have
| to face Speaking of the causes that

girl was enticed away for bad pur-

There were other influences and diff

not think they liked to realize the
life.
Lawyers all over the world have
been discussing the Steinheil case, re-
Gently concluded in Paris, and have
made it a text for vigorous criticisms
of French judicial procedure Much
more remarkable than that famous
case, however, was the recent trial Of
a man named Stora, in the Seine AS
size court. Stora killed his mistress.
Mile. Muguet, music hall dancer At
the trial he did not deny the commits
sion of the crime, nor was it alleged
that he was insane The counsel for
the defense urged, as an extenuation
that Stora had spent large sums on
the woman. and that she had treated
him in an inconsiderate manner, and
finally repulsed him For this he shot
and killed her. AS this was the first
time he had ever murdered anyone,
and as the court considered that the
victim had been inconsiderable of
Stora's feelings, he was mercifully
acquitted.
According to Stora's story on the
fatal day, February II, Stora escorted
his mistress to a boulevard cafe fire.

gagement stay here at the door and
wait for me-" she said as she went in,
leaving the unlucky man with her dog
out in the bitter cold. Hours rolled
by, and there he stood like an unre
lieved sentry. Meanwhile Muguet,
was chatting gaily with friends in the
warm cafe, and making fun of her
lover as he shivered in the cold out
side: but no one joined in her merri-
ment, for they all pitied him. At las
she condescended to join Stora. who
took her off to dinner at a restaurant
AS they passed by flower stall he
bought her a boauet of violets, and
she threw it in his face. Even whnr
they had returned to her abode, MI
guet kept on haunting him. Smart
ing under these indignities from his
mistress, Stora secured revolver
and shot her. Former lovers of the
woman were called as witnesses, and
all declared that Muguet had verv

nesses declared that the only way he
could reduce her to submission was
by shooting at her. although. he said
he was always careful to miss. After
