A dispatch from Williamson says
Mrs. Mary Terrell was lodged in the
jail there under the charge that she
had been particeps criminus in the
burning of the Terrell residence at
Matewan some time ago. 1t Is believ-
ed however, that she will be released
on bond, as she has many wealthy
and influential relatives who will not
ever bond may be necessary 20 secure
ever bond may be Necessary toseccure
her release. Sensational reports con-
corning the case are numerous and
are quite damaging to the woman.
Among these reports is one which
sa' S she had endeavored 10 get per-
sons to burn the house, and it is
alleged that she had sent her son TO
Matewan for that purpose. Another
report YVES circulated to the effect
that she had desired that her hus-
band, A. j. Terrell, should be burned
~ in the building, but this latter
report has been fully cOntradicted,
as she was in the house with her
husband at the time the fire occur
red and he has stated that he was
awakened by her and was thus enab-
led to make his escape from the
burning building.

Chicago, March 3.-Women are
the same IN the society circles of
New York and Chicago and in the
jungles of benighted Africa, accord
ing TO Prof. Frederick Starr, of the
University Of Chicago. In maya
Zine article the professor declares
that this moral identity of savage
and barbarous women with the civ
ihzed can be demonstrated by thou
ands Of examples. Thus:
"The bargain counter morals are
the same.
Both classes eff women wall sub
NIT to any amount of torture for
fashions sake.
"Woman's clubs exit in Africa as
well as in America.
Women are sod as wives in New
York and Chicago as well as in At
RIGA.
The subject of modesty ariseo
from the same cause in both cases.
THE question of personal adorn-
meat is Of great Importance IN both
cases.
THE mother-in- law is omnipres-
ent in savagery.
African and American women
both seek the last word"

Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1909-11-25

Cherry, Ill.,, last week was the scene
of a terrible mine disaster, which WHIP
ed out the lives of over 300 bold min
ers. By order of the authorities the
saloons of the place were closed for
fear that men maddened by drink
should start riot, and make the ter
rible conditions worse. But the sal
DON keepers grew FESTIVE. The money
had been stopped from pouring in to
them and when pay day came they
could stand it no longer 30 they APP
pealed that they should be allowed to
oren especially as it was pay day. !"
The miserable creatures had no sense
of the awfulness of the calamity. and
while the place echoed with the weep
ing and wailing of widows and or
phans, wished to resume their wicked
business of dealing out drink. What
devils men can be for money!
