Cairo, ILL.,, Nov. 12.-After night

der OF Miss Annie Pelley, and Henry
Salzner, a<white man charged with
the murder of his wife. Cairo was com
paratively qniet this morning.

though a mob of 1900 people is still
cpngregated along the levy and about
the city jail. and the saloons are open.
no further serious trouble is aHtici-
pated. = 4
= At least five more companies of
militia win arrive during the day and
Governor Deneen, who is hurrying to
Springfield, said over the long dis.

would be ordered to Cairo if they were
needed.
Arthur Alexander, the negro impli-
Gated in the assault and murder of
Miss Policy by the confession of the
tlynched negro, James, was safely
lodged in Jail this morning after a
night spent with the officers dressed
in an officers clothes, and fleeing
from furious mob.
The lust for blood seemed to dis
appear with the coming of dawn, and
no attempt was made to get him.
What the authorities most fear is that
the prejudices aroused by last nights
lynchings may result In repetition
OF the race riots and destruction Of
property that characterized the work
Of the n1obs at Springfield, H., and
for this reason troops are being rushed
to Cairo to be kept here till ali dan
ger of further rioting is past.
Mayor Parsons said today he did
not think any of the city officials
should be blamed for the 1ynchings.
He said the majority of the citizens Of
Cairo deplored the lynchings, but he
believed the result would be salutary.
"There has not been an official ex-
ecution in Cairo in ten or fifteen
years." he said, "and yet the city has
had its full share of murders. Jurses
have failed ito convict in homicide
cases or have convicted only for
minor degrees. In fact, murder in
Cairo has, regret to say, been toll
erably safe"

stIS LIFE WORTH LIvING2"
Chicago Record-Herald.

The suicide of Alice Law, a young
woman of 26 who had found life ''un-
endurable," although the circum-
stances of her ease as described by
herself indicate that she had much to
be thankful for, will doubtless rexive
the discussion of the old, old question
as to the pain-pleasure balance iE this
strange world of ours.
! Miss Law seems to have had anus
ual abilities and sufficient practical
fitness to earn a salary which certain
| ly meant neither physical hardship
nor exclusion from the comforts and
some Of the luxuries of life. She had
| a passion for music and was able to
crafty it in large measure; she was
a reader Of serious books and some
thing of philosopher. Tens of thou
sands would have considered her lot
enviable, yet she herself condemned
that lot as stoo hard
Her explanation Of the fatal step
| in the mote" she left says sweepingly
| that there is too much work, too
much monotony, too much weariness,
and not enough art, recreation and
rest" Many might say this with
| much greater reason than she ;appar-
emily had, yet, after all, they find the
balance a favorable one. Any normal
person of intelligence and average
education should succeed in making
life tolerably varied and enjoyable
In city like Chicago there is enough
art" in the forms of music, drama,
paintings and sculpture to meet reas-
enable needs, and as to rest and re-
creation, surely the ordinary work
day does not unduly encroach on their
allowance. One may set aside seven
or even eight hours for sleep and yet
have enough time for reading, for
walks, for social calls, for entertain
ment.
Doubtless with further progress life
viii be made more attractive than it
s to large classes OF toilers, but even
N our present stage of civilization
none but the exceptionally unfortun-
ate, the morbid, the victims of unhap-
py dispositions or Of very bad habits
tending to produce depression and
melancholy can complain of exces-
sive monotony and lack of sunshine, |
beauty and interest.
