JUDGE ELECTROCUTE6
John H. Hickman, of Defiance, Kill
ed in His Bathroom.

Toledo. Ohio, Oct 1+-Former Probate
Judge John H. Hockman, the Democratic
candidate for Common Pleas Judge in
the third subdivision Of the third Judi
cial district died suddenly at his resi-
ence in Defiance late last night
He was electrocuted while turning on
an electric light in his bathroom as he
was preparing TO shave. Burns on his
fingers and the fact that a neighbor on
the same line was shocked the same
evening make the electrocution theory
proposed by the family and physician ex-
ceedingly plausible.

Bell. Gen. Leonard Wood. Chief OF star
and Gen. Oliver, Assistant Secretary oF
War, greeted him besides Gen Allen
After few words Of greeting, 8Ir. White
Went 10 the Metropolitan Club, about two
blocks away where he had lunch, re-
turning TO his aerial carriage and start
ing again for Benning at 10 o'clocL,

Flight Gives War Tip.
The airship is essentially necessary
in war, and military specialists Of every
country on the face Of the globe have
admitted IT," said Maj Gen. Allen last
night. THE small passenger carving
capacity is more than overcome by the
velocity with which they can travel
quote an English army officer who IS
high up in the service OF his country
when / say. whether the nations OF the
world like il or not, the different forms
Of aeronautical devices are as necessary
in time OF war as anything that can be-
mentioned.
The Aeronautica1 Reserve is great
patriotic movement, from the fact that
they are trying 10 induce young men 10
become interested in aviation as a means
Of national defense Without regard 10
the future improvements in aeroplanes.
As it stands to-day il is very necessary
to the armies.
i don't think that one airship could
dc q very great amount Of damage. but
if a fleet Of dozen or more were 10
descend on the city from a hostile army.
they would leave ruins and debris behind
them"
Gen. Miles Says So. Too.
Gen. Nelson A Miles was OF the same
opinion as Gen Allen. 1T has been sug-
gested that as a means Of defense
against an aerial feet the vertical gun
wot1d be formidable. To my mind tho
vertical gun gould be as dangerous 10
the army firing it as ii would he 70 a
fleet Of airships, because if you miss one
of them your shell viii le just as dam
gerous 10 you as it would have been 70
whatever goes up has 10 come down and
I think that the army tacticians who have
proposed this form Of defense have not
taken ii into consideration.
Not only is it dangerous foe 10 the
landsman, bat It IS more so 10 a ship.
One aeropIane could annihilate an entire
fleet by dropping bombs upon the deck
or the more vital spot-their engine rooms
by way OF the tunnels. A fleet Of aero
planes could very easily be carried by
feet of battleships and the airnen be ex.
posed 10 less danger than the ordinary
sailor on one OF he battle ships The
parent ship. the one that would carry the
aeroplanes. could very easily lag behind
the feet for about fifty miles. Fifty
miles is a very short distance for an
aeroplane. It is not essentially necessary,
either. to have a parent ship for the
aeroplanes. Every ship could carry a
platform that could be strung out in the
back. and act as a station for the aero
plane. In this way every ship could carry

England Has Largest Eggs.

Egg cups are bigger in New York
than anywhere else in the world ex
cept England" said a globe trotter.
II can't say the same for the eggs,
although the hens in this part Of
the country perform their duty of
helping to feed the human race pret-
ty creditably. Still, they cannot
come up to the English hens. Their
contribution to the food products are
extraordinary in size, hence, the cor
responding capaciousness of the egg
cups. The further south you go on
the Connecticut, the smaller the egg
cups grow. In Egypt they dwindle
away to the size of the average thin
BILE. Their diminutive proportions
are commensurate with the size OF
the eggs, however, which are small
est laid by self-respecting hens any
place on earth. Place an ordinary
Egyptian egg in the British cup and
it is absolutely lost. In order that
eggs may be decapitated gracefully
the authorities at Alexandra have
given orders for the Importation of
several thousand extra cups to fit the
native eggs"

GREAT MYSTERY or SEX
r. lessor Zueblin's Views on Free
Love and Children Without
Marriage.

Houghkeepsie, N. Y. Professor
Charles zueblin, former professor of
sociology in the University of Chica-
so, stirred up this city in lecture in
Nassar Brothers Institute on the topic
Education and Life" In the audi
eI,e were members of the faculty of
Nassar College, clergymen of various
denominations and the representative
literary persons OF the place. The
part of the lecture which made the
old town gasp was as follows:
IF the average woman is blessed
with the maternal instinct why should
she not satisfy It? She is dependent
on being able to marry a man, a man
whom she may or may not love, man
who may or may not support her prop
erly. Is there any reason why won.
an who longs to have children should
not do so, regardless of any of the
conventions Of society? Yes, there
are the children to be considered.
That is our chief obligation-to care
for the children
''It would seem as though a woman
who wants children. and who tenderly
cares for them. ought to have them.
That is her prerogative. and we ought
to make the opportunities for young
people to meet each other more fire.
quent so that the proper conjunctions
will take place, and we ought to see
that the children which are the result
of these unions are provided with
proper physical protection. AS a mat
ter of fact no genuine mother minds
laying down her life for her little
child. That is part of the great mys-
terry of SEX"

Weekly Holiday Enforced.

In New Zealand everybody IS
bound by law to take a weekly half
holiday. and there must be no shirk-
ing the obligation. The Grand hotel.
Auckland, was recently crowded with
guests. and several waters, instead
of obeying the law and taking their
prescribed weekly haIf-holiday, re-
mPiined at work on the promise OF
extra pay. But the authorities came
to- hear of 1t and the proprietor OF
the hotel had to appear In court,
where he wag convicted and pun

FRIED sPUDs IN SOAP.
Doting Husband Tried to Cook a Meal
as Surprise for Wife.


Chardon, O.-It would hardly be
fair to give the name of a Chardon
man and the supper he tried to cook
as pleasant surprise for his wife on
her return from protracted session
of women. He feels mortified enough
without it.
1t looked like the real thing when
he got it done. and just as his wife
reached the house he had it ready to
set on the table. The fried potatoes
were specially brown and crisp look
ing. But they tasted brown. That
was the trouble. One bite for Mr..
Amateur Cook and one bite for Mrs.
was as far as they got.
What did you fry them in, Henry,
dear?" said the wife as she smothered
a grimace.
I'm that basin of grease that was
on the stove" said Henry.
And then Henry nearly tainted
when she told him the basin contained
a washing compound which she had
dissolved ready for use.
