NAILS INTO WIFE's SPINE
Husband Alleged to Have Inflicted
Torture in Form Preferred by
Ancient Jezebei.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Accused of inf1ict
ing on his wife the weird and deadly
form of torture which the ancient
Jezebel preferred for her most dead
~ foes, Stanley Vehenas is under ar
rest here. It is alleged upon corrobo-
rated testimony that the man actually
drove two nails into his wife's spine.
Jealous rage is given as the cause Tor
the deed.
Vehenas lived in community OF
aliens in a settlement where several
families of foreigners herd together,
using what few household effects
they possess in common. Under these
circumstances, it appears, Vehenas
grew jealous of fellow foreigner and
several times uttered threats of VIC

thing Developments.

Philadelphia dramatic incident
occurred the other afternoon in
St Paul's Protestant Episcopal
church, Fifteenth and Porter
streets, when pretty Eleanor Rogan,
q years old, Of No. 1859 Wallace
street, put to an unexpected end the
wedding of James R. Sencenick, a ma
rfne stationed at the Philadelphia navy
yard, and Ruth Myers, 20 years old, Of
No. 2a4O South Rosewood street. The
rector, Rev. Edwin F. Carson, had just
asked the formal question whether
any one objected to the union, when
Miss Rogan stepped up the aisle and
declared that the ceremony should not
be continued.
Sencenich, it is said, is a friend OF
both young women. who were formerly
chums. For some time he paid atten-
ton to Miss Rogan, and there was an
understanding that they should be
married. His love, however, turned to
the young woman's friend, Miss My
ers. and the two became engaged. La.
ter he procured a license, giving MS
name as James r. Hale.
Miss Rogan learned Of all that was
going on. and went to the Detective
Bureau and later procured a warrant
for the young marines arrest. Ac
companied by Detective Haley she
went to the navy yard and told the
commandant her story. He told he1

chaulain's Religious Chats.

At a recent meeting Of the guard
fans OF Keynsham workhouse. near
Bristol. England, the chaplain of that
institution stated that for some time
past he had been having chats with
the tramp inmates, each Sunday, In
stead of conducting regular services.
He said he had given the talks re-
ligious turn, and the venture had met
with varying success, for some of his
hearers had expressed their apprecia
ton by concealing themselves in
straw, while others had tried to escape
into the bathroom (Laughter). The
rest, however, had welcomed his Wis

CLUBS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
Various Agencies Have Taken lnitI-
alive In Movement Under Par
ttcuIar Local Conditions.

There have been rev develop
ments in recent yearsof greater edu-
cational interest and significance
than the work done by associations
Of boys and girls in agricultural and
domestic-art undertakings. As rule,
these have had their beginning in
some form OF competitive contest for
special occasions or awards. The or
ganization OF clubs has usually been
an incidental outgroWth Of the plans
for these contests, and the name ap-
piled to the organization itself has
varied widely with the different pur-
poses carried forward. Thus we find
clubs for corn growing, cotton grow
ing, potato growing, fruit growing,
poultry growing, livestock study, bird
study, home culture, and high-school
Improvement. All Of these have been
more or less agricultural in their gen
eral character.
To any who are unacquainted with
the nature Of such clubs 1t may be
explained that corn-groWing club is
an association of boys who enter into
a competition to determine which can
grow the most or the best corn on a
certain area Of ground under definite
rules of planting, cultivation and ex
hibit of their produce. A cotton
growing club would undertake sim
liar competition In producing the best
yield of cotton under prescribed con
ditions. For girls these contests have
! frequently taken the form Of bread
making, sewing, or joint contests witt
boys in gardening or poultry raising
Various agencies have taken the In
itiative in starting this movement un
der particular local conditions, but tht
inspiration for statewide activity il
these lines has generally come from
some individual or official source con
nected with the state department o
education, the state agricultural col
lege, or the United States department
of agriculture.
The first statewide movement O
this kind began about 1898 in New
York, under the auspices of the Co,
lege of Agriculture Of Cornell univel
sity, as developmen t from its ne
ture-study lessons. This work ha
now gone over the whole state an
has taken a variety Of forms.
Other states were quick to take u
the work and the splendid result
have been demonstrated at "cor
. shows" and other exhibitions, but th
most wonderful part Of all is the a
} tual increase of crop yields shown
many localities where these "clut
workers are active. Some of til
southern states-Texas, South Car
lima and Georgia, have been esp
} cially active in organizing this kin
} of work, and much of the developmel
in the Gulf and South Atlantic stats
has been greatly assisted by the boy
demonstration work.
The recent Southern Corn show fu
nished splendid exhibition OF col
products, the effect Of the boys col
, clubs being widely shown, and Il
, cultivation of corn in place OF the e
elusive growing Of cotton, was gtvs
an important impetus.
