The Woman's Death Recalled.

1t was shown by the records that the
woman had died in the Emergency Hos
pital the afternoon of January IA, having
been taken from the 10th street house the
morning Of the 18th. The police believe
the woman consumed the poisoned bever-
age about midnight Of the 18th, although
1t was some time after midnight when
she was taken to the hospital
Mrs. Lillian Doss was unconscious when
she reached the hospital more than a
year ago, and her death occurred without
her having regained consciousness. The
| police of the first precinct made an inves-
| tigation and reported that Cora Wood
ward said she had heard Mrs Doss
| threaten to commit suicide. Doss went
| to the hospital and made inquiries about
the condition Of his wife. and physicians
at the hospital recall that he seemed Wor-
| ried about her and appeared anxious that
she should recover
Coroner hewitt gave a certificate of
death from carbolic acid taken with sui
| cidal intent. He had to rely upon the
| police report Of the affair. The case. it
| is suggested, shows clearly the need of
a detective connected with the coroner
| office. DIR. hewitt has made a number of
requests for the detail of such an officer,
and. it is said, this is one OF the few
cities in which the coroner does not have
Cora Woodward. whose name appears in
the suicide report as a witness, could not
be found by the police last night. Her
testimony, 1t is believed, will have an
| important bearing upon the case.
Doss' Confession in Chicago.
| Doss told the Chicago police, accord
| ing to the press dispa tches. that his con-
science had troubled him ever since he
| administered the fatal dose to his wife,
and he is now anxious to pay for his
crime. He set up the plea of insanity as
soon as he seemed to realize what he had
done.
Il don't know why killed her. he is
| reported to have stated, unless I was
crazy. We did have a quarrel before I
gave her the dose
| When Doss entered the 22d street pO-
lice station in Chicago and told Police
man Thomas 'Halligan that he had COM
mitted murder the officer doubted the
| tail, however, and Supt. Wood notified
Maj. Sylvester Of the arrest.
II killed my wife in Washington; she
| did not commit suicide. You had bet

is said to have made to the policeman
at the station. He added:

Whiskered Jurors.

An Illinois Judge, whose name we
will not give, made recent address
before the Illinois State Attorneys
Association, in which he told of the
tricks Of lawyers to win cases. Speak
ing of the prejudices of jurors and
of judges he said:
"Whiskers play a great part in law
suits. At present the prejudice in
Chicago is against jurors with whis-
kers. 1t formerly was the other way.
know a Judge who thought he was
without prejudice and thought only
men with long whiskers made good
jurors. The prejudice now is the
other way and attorneys here gener-
ally reject men with long whiskers."

is not widely prevalent, for if it were

Boy Tortured by Eczema,

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and We tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.

AN "ORGANIZED GOSSIP"
Dissenting View on Prof. Cooleys
ANALYSIS of a Newspaper.

Analysis Of Newspaper.
Prof. Charles II. Cooley, in his re-
cent volume ON Social Organiza'
tion,' has discovered that the mod
ern newspaper is the organized Cos
sip" in the actual process of nervous
communication in the new social
Leviathan. Admitting that the news
papers essential function is a "bul-
letin OF important news and medium
for the interchange Of ideas" he
adds:
The bulk of its matter, however, is
best described by the phrase organ
lied gossip The sort of intercourse
that people formerly carried ON at
cross-road stores or over the back
fence has now attained the dignity
of print and an imposing system.
That the bulk of the contents OF
a newspaper is OF the nature Of gos-
sip may be seen by noting three
traits which together seem to make
a fair definition Of that word. 1t is
copious, designed to occupy, without
exertng, the mind. 1t consists most
ly Of personalities and appeals to
superficial emotion. 1t is untrust.
worthy-except upon few matters OF
moment, which the public is likely to
follow up and verify. These traits
any one who is curious may substan'
tate by study of his own morning
Journal.
Allowing the difference in the ways
different readers might classify dit
ferent items, and also for variations
from the journalistic mean which the
paper in question represents, it would
seem that the bulk Of the contents OF
newspaper is very incorrectly de-
scribed by the term organized gos-
SIP" at least IL gossip is used in our
professors disparaging sense. AS to
the charge of lack OF veracity. pro-
fessional modesty iDpels us to be re-
ticent. But if the reader, in quiet
hour, will recall the Information he
acquires from other sources than the
daily papers upon matters or mo-
ment, we doubt not that he will think
better Of tie hasty verdict which
brings the accuracy OF the newspa'
per under the condemnation of habit

characteristic OF gossip, that ut IL

Prof Cooley implies. seeming worse

We venture in difidence to suggest
