Bramante and Michel Angelo" that is, the
nave and transepts are shorter than usual and
their intersection will be crowned with great

main entrance is under a monumental arch

front entrances leading to the vestibule located

one to be the founders chapel, the other to
contain the baptismal font" while at the ends
of the transepts will be the two great chapels

the jurymen afterward said that the only reason why the jury took so long was that one of the members thought that twenty minutes deliberation was required by law.
 In the second case, that of Katie Fetsch, aged 19, who shot and killed Frank l.. Mischler, a boilermaker, on the night after the Mclaughlin girl was acquitted, it looks as though she also would be freed by a jury.
 After the acquittal, followed by the second killing. growing distaste for the unwritten law became evident The Sunday after the killing a num- Der of clergymen preached about the case, and two out of three were against the unwritten law. A num- Der of criminal lawyers have spoken against the violation of the written law. District Attorney St Clair Ad- ams, who prosecuted the Mclaughlin girl with a vigor seldom shown by prosecuting officer south of Mason adn DiXons line when a woman is concerned, has denounced the action of the women in trying to upset the written law.
 The extension of the unwritten law to cases in which the killing is done by women is not the only reason for the present state of public sentiment regarding it. There has been an in creasing distaste for it because the unwritten law defense has been over done There was, for example, the Smith case in Mississippi. in which the slayer alleged that the man he killed had betrayed his daughter.
 In this case the jury found him guilty not alone of killing the man, but also of lying about his own daughter to save his life. The girl on the witness stand had a hard choice confronting her. She realized that in order to save her father she must sacrifice her honor and blacken her own character and that of the dead man. She refused to do this and told the truth, with the result that her father was convicted. It has been suggested that a case might easily arise in which a woman in the same situation as this daughter might be tempted to perjure herself to save a near relative.
 There was another case in north Louisiana not so long ago in which a man, already elected to congress, shot and killed a physician. He never made a public statement of his reason beyond saying, "I was justified" His evidence. if he gave any, was heard by a grand jury, which promptly set him free. Cases like these had been tending to bring the unwritten law into disfaVor.

hind the skirts of women whose names they dragged to utter ruin to save themselves.
 Now these two girls did not appeal to their male relatives. They acted on their own initiative and they them selves killed the men who had wrecked their lives. Under the written law their respective acts were murder, but under the unwritten law, which in its day has set many a man free, their act was more than justified.
 For had they not as much right to protect themselves as men have to protect their homes? The suffer- ing of a man who sees his home broken up is terrible. but is it one thousandth as bad as the utter dis grace which comes to a woman when her betrayal becomes known to the world and utter social ostracism be- comes hers? Therefore we demand for these women the same rights that juries in the past have given to men"
 In the case of Mamie Mclaughlin, who was IS and who shot and killed Hugh Smith, Jr., a saloon man, this plea was successful. The jury took only twenty-five minutes to bring in a verdict of not guilty, and one of
Arizona republican., 1910-10-02

selves together to procure the first girls freedom, paid her lawyers fees by subscriptions among themselves and claimed for her the same right of acquittal under the 'unWritten law as has been granted to men who have entered that plea.
 Now the Era club. an organization of 1,500 women in New Orleans, has adopted resolutions pledging the club to the same stand in the case of the second woman as the organization took in the case of the first woman. A subscription list is being passed around and a lawyer has been en- gagged to defend the second woman.
 We abhor murder" say the women. We detest crime and criminals. We believe in the written law as it is laid down in the statute books but for decades men in this state have killed other men who they believed had transgressed the sanctity of their homes They had only to raise this plea to be freed.
 Practically no investigation was ever made as to the truth or falsity of their statements, so long as they protected themselves from the conse- uuences of their. crimes by hiding be-

THE LIBRARY REST CURE.

A Chicago woman has found a new use for the public library which every large city and many a small one pos sesses. She utilizes it for purposes of rest The reading room of a library. she says, is about the only place left in the modern city where the rule of silence is enforced. Everywhere else in the daytime, she declares, the demon of noise is rampant In the average household where there are children silence is the scarcest of human blessings. After the children are asleep the mother is too tired to do much reading. The theater is all right for amusement, but it is a strain on the eyes and the brain to follow the performance on the stage. The auditory nerves of the city dweller re- quire periods of absolute rest. A well known neurologist comments the practice of the Chicago woman of re- tiring to the public library for refuge from noise, and asserts that if more persons would follow her example they would experience a direct mental benefit that would surprise them.
 The benefit. of course. is attribu table to more than merely getting away from the noise. The knowledge that one is secure from interruption means much to OvertaXed nerves, while the morbid self-consciousness is lost in the absorbed contemplation of some interesting work of literature Pittsburg Gazette-Ttimes.

OBJECTS FOUND
 IN THE THAMES

At different times, extending over a period of more than 2000 years, Old Father Thames has become the re-
 pository of objects of all kinds, from statue to a humble coin, which have found their way into the thick by accident or design, and have some of them remained there for many hundred years, until chance, in the shape of a dredger or a fisherman, has brought them to light once more. Many of these relics have passed into the hands of private collectors, and a few have found their way into muse ums. so that it is impossible to know of all the treasures that have been recovered One of the most ancient and, strangely enough. best pre- served-relics was found in 1868 near Waterloo bridge. This is a Celtic helmet of bronze more than twenty centuries old. The staf4 of its pres ervation is marvellous, the ornamen- tation being almost as unworn as when the helmet was first made. In 1856 a bronze shield of about the same date was wrested from the riv- CT mud near Battersea, together with great number of swords, spears and other weapons. This shield is the finest of it's period in the world. It is fourteen inches wide and thirty inches long, and somewhat highly or
