NO VASSAR GIRLS
EVER IN DIVORCE
Swarthmore Also Has SINH
lar Record which Aston
isles Plebians.

NEW YORK, Oct. IS No gradu-
ate of Vassar college has ever obtain
ed or been involved in a divorce
No woman graduate of Swathmore
college has ever sought relief from an
unsuccessful marriage in the courts.
Miss Elsa Cunningham, principal OF
Nassar, which first opened its doors
in 1867, is authority for the first
statement. Miss Henrietta r. Meete.
er, dean of the women's department OF
Swathmore, which is a coeducational
college, makes the second declara.
ton. Both these powers in the edu.
cational world believe that the in
fluence of the women's colleges OF
America will ultimately eliminate the
divorce evil in the United States.
Higher education, as it is taught to
girls in the women's colleges, they de.
clare, means higher responsibilities in
the household, higher ideal in the
home. In other words the college wo.
man makes the best wife.
The record of Vassar, which limits
the number of it's students to one
thousand, is certainly phenomenal
Not single matrimonial failure
among the students it has graduated
in forty-four years.
1t may be that college women do not
marry as readily as the girls who stay
at home. 1t is often remarked that
the number of college graduates who
are wives is small compared with 9th.
er types of women.
But DR.. James Monroe Taylor, who
has been president of Vassar for TWEEN
ty-five years, says that college women
marry as early and as often as their
girl friends who stay at home.
ANY one who attends one of our
class reunions soon realizes the fall,
lacy of the idea that college girls don't
marry" DR.. Taylor said.

Rev. Richeson Had UnsavoU Reputation
in Kansas City Where Resignation Asked

We didn't bother him, but let HIM
keep on preaching every Sunday.
Finally. two women in the consre.

Richeson preach every Sunday, all
came to church together one Sunday
morning. They sat together on .
bench in the front row. Our pastor
looked kind of worried when they
came in that way, but he went right
ahead with his sermon, looking over
at them pretty often. He preached,
as remember 1t. on Temptations of
Young Girls in City, and it was .
great sermon, too.
Right after the service was over
the three women who had come In to.
gether went up to the preacher. One
of them was q grass widow. and the
others were young girls.
''You promised to marry me- said
the grass widow. Are you going to
do it,
"'You promised to marry me, too
said the girl from Liberty. Are you
going to do it,
young girl, crying. How about me!
They'd rehearsed 1t all beforehand,
probably, but it gave the congrega-
ton a greater thrill than a play by

must be some mistake about this

He Feared Lynchinq.

The Lexington police were notified
sent to Richmond after him. Apkins
feared he would be lynched at Lexing
ton. but he arrived and saw only two
newspaper reporters and the usual
hangers-on about the union station to
receive them, and then saw the mas
sive walls of the county JAIL he knew
he would be safe from that fate, any
way. So he recovered somewhat the
spirit of bravado which up to that time
had been entirely missing
To a correspondent Apkins said he
Is a Russian and that he had come to
this country late in 1905. He went to
Chicago from New York. arriving
there the day before the Iroquois thea

companion when the fire broke out. He
says his companion was killed and he
himself so badly injured that he was
in hospital for nearly year. He
bears many scars about the head
which he says were received from his
injuries there.
Apkins has never secured an attor-
ney and laughs when asked If he will
employ one. He says If he does he will
send to Chicago.
In the meantime, the Baxter family,
who reared Miss Young, have been un-
firing in their efforts to get evidence
to either send him to the penitentiary
for long term or to send him to the
electric chair. J. M. Baxter told report
ers he had asked the States attorneys

wick Miss Young died, whether an in

evidence was taken before the grand

ATTACK ON CHURCH
CAUSED SENSATION
National Body Has Power to
Purify the Whitewater,
Says DR.. Davis.
(National News Association

SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. 28.-David
C. Coates, commissioner of public
works in Spokane, might as we'll have
nests as to attack the Christian reli-
gion in its present-day practices of the
profit system, which he discussed at
a meeting of working men at Carpen-
ter's hall. The replies of the preach
ers, headed by the Very Rev. William
c. Hicks, dean of All Saints Episco-
pal church, are full of barbs and the
end is not in sight.
Mr.. Coates, who was at one time
lieutenant-governor of Colorado, de-
clared in his address that the church
itself is the chief stumbling block to
a Christian life. He charged the
church with responsibility for social
and economic environment of the
day, which, he said, kept men and wo-
men from leading Christian lives. He
also flatly accused organized Chris
tianity of being mercenary in its atti'
tude, saying it supports the profit sys-
tenn because this means money.
If all the money in the world, multi.
piled million times, were spent and
all the pastors should preach without
ceasing it would not alter conditions y
he asserted. 1.-THE modern church, SO.
called, is dead. 1t has nothing to Of
fer the man who works with brain
and Drawn, and still the preachers ask
why thinking men do not attend
church. The church denounces the sa'
loon, but it does not make a move
to eradicate the system which makes
the saloon and other places possible
1t harbors the human agents respon.
sible for these evils and places the
hand of commentator upon their
heads"
Mr.. Coates referred to the union re
vival meetings in Spokane recently
when Gypsy Smith, an English evan
gelist, conducted the services, adding
in closing: Until justice takes the
place of charity, the church will full
fill its mission, and it will remain a
stumbling block in the way of Chris
tian lives"

Whv Turkish Women Go veiie

Why TUFkioh Women 60 Yelled.
Turkish women do not wear wells
because of their religion. as many sup
pose. 1t is merely the survival of an
old custom. When the Turks still
lived in Tartary. before the time of
Mohammed. it was the habit Of the
men to steal such women for wives as
attracted them. This led to SO much
fighting that about the second century
after Christ the Turks came together
and decided that henceforth the wo-
men should so yelled and should not
meet men. but dwell in harems, as
soon as they arrived at womanhood
which was at about eleven years Of
age.-Mrs. Kenneth Brown in Metro.

KANSAS CITY. Oct. 2S-The Rev.
c. Y. Richeson, who is held in Bos-
ton on a charge of numbering Miss
Avis Linnel. to who he had been en-
gagged, formerly was pastor of the
Budd Park Baptist church, in Kansas
City. The name of the church has
since been changed to the Bethany
church. Mr. Richeson was the first
pastor of that church. and held his
post from 1901 until 1904, when he
was asked to resign on account of the
sensational disclosures of three wom-
en-, two of them members of his con-
gregation. each of whom accused him
of having been engaged to them.
Their disclosure their disclosure was
made Immediately after MIR. Richeson
had finished his sermon one Sunday
! morning.
when Mr.. Richeson first became

CATION said this morning. The was q
student at William Jewell Case col
lege at Liberty. He came down to
Kansas City Saturday night and
preached sermon every Sunday.
"Mr. Richeson preached good ser
mons, too. He was fine looking
young man, black haired and fiery
and all the women liked him. Most
OF his sermons were about young girls
how their mothers should look at
ter them and guard them against
<.H1 ~s-l-
selves should stay at home nights and
strengthen themselves against temp
! tation. 1t made a big hit with the
| mothers, but the men sort of noticed
that the preacher didn't think enough
| of his own sermons to prevent him
| in the church out at night. And the
girls all liked him, too.
THE congregation was a small one
then, only about sixty or seventy
members, and the church building it
self didn't amount to much. When
ever there was anything to be chang
ed, or a new chair to be bought, We
sort of had general meeting of all
the members of the church to decide
just what should be done about it.
"One Sunday, after the. service, Mr.
Richeson told all the members of the
congregation that he wanted to have
| a short business talk with them. and
| we all stayed.
THE pastor told us about leading
| the strike in St. Louis and he had
made enemies he feared would as
sassinate him some night while he was
| preaching. For that reason he want
ed the window panes painted. This
| was done.
Some of the older heads In the
| church got to thinking more about il
afterwards. They'd heard stories
about their handsome young pastor
that weren't quite up to the standard
set for a minister. He was a good
talker, all right, but the people on,
in that end of town aren't accustomed
to such sort of action and some &C
cused Mr.. Richeson, among themselv

ing those windows painted black fol
! personal reasons. Also, they said
| there were some strange goings on In
the church building Sunday nights at
ter the services were over.
"Other persons finally got to talk
ing about it, too, and the upshot OF
the whole matter was that the pain,
on those windows was the end of Mr.
Richeson at the Budd Park Baptis,
church. The women got to gossipine
about him and whispering. 1t broke
up all the good feeling in the church
but he was such a good talker tina,
