LOUISE VERMILYA AND WHAT FAMOUS STUDENTS
OF CRIME SAY ABOUT COLD CRUELTY OF WOMEN

OF CRIME SAY ABOUT I
History Shows Women Grim
inals Are More Ingenious,
More Ferocious, More Diabol-
ically Cruel Than Men.
A terrible point of superiority
in the female born criminal over
the male lies in the refined, dia-
bolical cruelty with which she &C
conplishes her crime.-Lom-
broso.
The perversity of woman is so
great as to be incredible even to
its victim.-Caro.
Feminine crirninality is more
cynical, more depraved, and more
terrible than the crirrlinality of
the male.-Rykere.
No possible punishment can
deter women from heaping crime
upon crime. Their perversity of
mind is more fertile in new crimes
than the imagination of a judge
in new OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The violence of the ocean
waves or of devouring flames is

but woman is more terrible than
all else.-Euripides.
The cases of Louise Vermilya
and Jane Quinn have features
that call to my mind some of the
famous cases in the annals of
criminology.

dead-these are things that make
her case of peculiar interestto the
student of crime.
The utter heartlessness of Jane
Quinn in twice going through
wedding ceremonies while the
bodies of murdered husbands
scarce were cold in the grave, and
her utter lack of emotion when
charged by the police with three
murders, make her case rank only
second to that of the Vermilya.
Passing over the case of LII
crezia Borgia, that much malign-
ed Italian lady whose character
recently has been patched up by
the dissipation of the myth re-
garding her propensity for poi
soning folks, we find in criminal
annals many cases that go to sub
stantiate the assertion of LON
broso, the great Italian Grimm
ologist, that though females
born criminal are fewer than
male they often are much more
ferocious."
History" he says, ''has re-
corded the mingled cruelty and
lust of women who have enjoyed
royal or popular power. We
know of instances among Ro-
mans, Greeks and Russians, from
Aggripina, Fulvia, Messalina,
down to Elizabeth. of Russia,

A Match For the Bishop.

In the days when church disestab-
lishment was being very warmly dis
cussed in Wales Mr.. Lloyd George
won great local repute by his cam
paign against the bishop of st. Asaph.
AT a meeting held in F1intshire the
chairman, a Welsh deacon with very
strong convictions, got up to introduce
Mr.. Lloyd George.
"Gentlemen," he said, Il half to in
troduce to you tonight the member for
the Carnarvon boroughs. He bass
come here to reply to what the bishop
Of st. Asaph said the other night
about Welsh disestabIishment. 1t ISIS
my opinion, gentlemen, that the bish-
op of st. Asaph ISIS one Of the biggest
liars in creashon. [Cheers. But l
am glad to say that we half a match
for him in our speaker tonight"
Mr.. Lloyd George afterward said the
only thing that saved him from going
to pieces was the roar of applause
that followed the speakers astounding
statement.

a Quick Stop,

John Billiards. brother, the Judge,
was once hearing a case where Law
yer Lawless prosecuted. Lawyer Law
less was notorious for his long wind
edneSS. He would sometimes speak
for days and days. On this Occa-
sion he had been spouting forth his
concluding argument for six hours
and the end was nowhere in sight
when Judge Ballard beckoned his
brother John and whispered:
Cant you stop him, Jack?"
"T1l stop him in two minutes" John
Ballard replied confidently.
And he wrote and passed to Lawyer
Lawless the following note:
My Dear Colonel-As soon as you finish
your magnificent argument l would like
you to join me at the Revere House in a
bumper Of rare old bourbon.
Lawyer Lawless. halting in the
midst of an impassioned period, put
on his glasses and read the note that
had been handed him; then he re-
moved his glasses again and, taking
up his hat and bag, said:
"And now, may it please the court
and gentlemen of the jury, I leave the
cas- with you"
A minute later he was proceeding
in stately fashion in the direction Of
the Revere House bar.-Washington

John Barrett, director of the inter
national bureau of American repub-
lies, now has a thorough knowledge Of
the meaning of the word ''stung" as
it is used in a popular sense.
One of his bureaus principal duties
is to promote trade relations between
this country and the Latin American
republics, and Mr.. Barrett does every
thing in his power to make good on
his job. Not long ago he had a new
idea. He turned to the bees of Mexico
as a means of increasing business be-
tween the United States and that
country and put out a bulletin. Ac-
cording to the printed pamphlet, Mex
lean bees were the best bees that ever
buZzed. They were docile. They were
affectionate. Finally, they were sting
less, biteless and warranted not to
sting the baby. All this information
was widely distributed among bee fan
ciers and honey producers of the Unit
ed States.
The other day Mr.. Barrett received
this letter:
Dear Mr.. Barrett am a Missouri
farmer, and l e e where your trade
bulletin said that Mexican bees are
stingless. l sent to Mexico for some
of these bees. You are a liar!'-Pitts-
burg Post.

The Advocate: w. w. Jones, of the
Mineral Point Zinc Co., was in town
Tuesday completing the details of the
transfer of the j. j. Wiegel farm to
the New Jersey Zinc Co.
The Kennedy mine is carrying 115
men on the payroll and is producing a
car of concentrates daily. Nearby the
Mills Mining company is operating
steadily with seventy five men. A big
run of milling ore above average grade
was discovered here under the oil rock
which in this portion of the field is be-
lieved to be cut-Out strata. The Mills
has been for several years one of the
heaviest producers in the field, but the
ore is far below average grade. The
new strike promises ore of better quail
ty. The surface equipment represented
in the first instance an outlay of $50,
900. Many improvements have been
made since and the ore is mined through
both vertical and incline shafts. The
Winnebago ground, between the Mills
and Kennedy mines, is now owned by
the New Jersey Zinc company, but no
effect has been made recently to mine
this property from which over a quarter
of a million dollars worth of ore has
been extracted.

John X. Perry.

The West Briton and Cornwall Ad-

has the following notice of the death of
Mr.. John r. Perry, who is still kindly
remembered by many of the older peo-
pie of Mineral Point and vicinity.
"Redruth has lost a respected inhab-
liant by the death of John R. Perry.
Deceased, who was seventy-four years
of age, was a native of Wendun. He
went to America at an early age and
was one of the earliest prospectors of
the California gold fields. He had also
travelled extensively in British Columbia
and other places. Retiring about ten
years ago he settled down at Redruth.
About a fortnight ago he caught a chill
which ultimately led to his death. He
leaves a widow but no children"

From Missouri

Editor Ed. L.. LUCKNOW, in Sank
County Democrat: Folks familiar with
the practices Of legislative bodies know
how often measures are rushed through
without giving them due consideration,
and it has happened that men voted
for measures without being able to tell
even the substance of the law after it
had passed.
The other day al effort was made to
railroad a bill through the state legis-
lature but objection was made by AS
semblyman Oscar Roessler, of Jefferson,
and by the way he is a democrat from
a democratic community and a news
paper publisher, too. His objection
was raised to immediate passage of the
bill because he did not fully understand
it and he carried his point. Later ne
investigated and decided that it would
be well to offer an amendment to the
insurance committees bill, allowing
compensation for examiners working
for the insurance commission. 1t will
change the committee bill considerably
by providing that examiners shall be
reimbursed only for the actual expenses
which they incur in their duties. The
amendment complies with the COM
mittee's statement as to the object Of it's
measure, although it holds the expend-
itures down to the actual expenses in
Rurrad.

Reception to Miss Asenath Oates.

Last Wednesday night, at the Lecture
room of the Primitive Methodist Church,
a reception was given Miss Asenath
Oates in honor of her completion of %
years as superintendent of the Primary
Department of the Sunday School.
During these years Miss Oates has
enrolled $50 pupils. Two hundred and
twenty of the present membership of
the school have been received by her.
But five times in the last thirteen
years has Miss Oates been unable to be
with the children. 1t was a very great
pleasure to the three hundred persons
who were present on this occasion to
indicate their appreciation of such
faithfulness.
A very interesting program was
rendered, consisting of songs by the
choirs of the church and Sunday School.
A solo was pleasingly sung by Mrs.
Pringle, two quartettes by George
Huxtable Mrs. Pringle, Nettie Wallis
and Henry Bray and an interesting
recitation by Hazel Suthers.
Mrs. James Brewer and Miss S.
Penhallegon read letters from several
former members of the school.
James Kitto presented a list of names
of those who have been members of the
school for 80 yeaIs or more.
Thirty four gold stars were given to
pupils for perfect attendance during the
last year.
The pastors address was the conclud-
ing number. At its close, in behalf of
the church and school, parents and
friends, he presented Miss Oates with a
very substantial sum of money as a
fitting expression of their great ap-
probation of her valuable services.
Refreshments were afterward served
and a very delightful evening was
brought to a close.
The P. NJ. school, throughout, is in a
perfect state of organization and with
its corps Of earnest teachers is doing
most excellent work. It's progress is
steady with an average attendance for
the year Of about 210.
Mrs. johnson of Wausau and Mrs.
Peters of Dodgeville, former members
of the school, attended the reception
and discussed old times with friends of
Aud Lang Syne.

O RECIPROC ITY

Press dispatches bring the good news
that on Tuesday night the house of rep
resentatives ratified the reciprocity pact
with Canada, by a vote of 221 to 81.
The Democratic vote was 143 aye and
5 noes. The Republican vote was 7S
ayes and 81 noes.
Because it is a step away from com
mercial restriction and a step towards
commercial freedom the adoption Of
this measure would promote the general
welfare. It strikes at some special
privileges, and therefore should be sup
ported by all those who stand for equal
rights for all.

he went into business for himself, and
many of the old homes in Mineral Point
were built under Mr.. Healy's super
vision.
In 1866 he married Miss B. O'DOwd,
