Proof-readers are commonly de-
fined as correctors Of the press. Che

slips OF the pen made by the persons
whose work they are engaged to cor

are many who act as if they did.
There is no record that Moses needed

Proof-readers are of various kinds
usually classed as intelligent, good,
mlddllng: Indifferent. and rotten.
/. There is one species tina is a
sticklerf for style at no matter what
cost.
2. There is q second species that is
a slave to rules and that will admit
Of no exception even to save time or
money, but he doesn't pay the bills.
3. There is a third species h dab
bles IN languages and will correct the
Latin, Greek. French. or German, but
quite forget that ne is to consid& also

There is a fourth species to whom
everything that is is wrong and who
reWrites or raedits the author and
thereby earns the latter's most lurid
imprecations.
There is a fifth species that
sprfnkles punctuation marks all over

s. There is a sixth species who has
his employers interest at heart and
is content to follow his copy when the
author is right and is sharp at detect
ing errors when the author is wrong.
The Ideal PrOof-reader makes no
more marks than are necessary: keeps
himself well informed, is familiar
with current events; has a good
grounding in history. literature, and

complete contro! over himself that he

custody here for the Federal authori-
ties at Omaha. Nebr who charge him
with using the mails to defraud, was
caught in the act of saving his way out
Of his cell in the city police station.
Lying on his bed were found an iron
saw. several broken blades, a small bar
OF soap, a cheap nickel watch and an
automatic revolver loaded to it's capac-
itv with semi jacketed .3S- caliber cart
ridges.
Thomas had made a confession, but
refuses to reveal the name OF the ac-
complete, who passed the equipment to
him from the outside. A string was
used by the prisoner to pull the tools
into the cell.
w. B. Green, under suspicion in con-
nection with the Thomas case, had
been released, there being no evidence
on which he might be longer held.

COUNTESS DID NOT
DIE BY DROWNING

GOSHEN. \. Y, Nov. 21.-That the
Countess Rosa Menschik Szabo. for
whose murder Attorney Burton w.
Gibson is on trial for his life here. was
strangled to death, was the declaration
made under oath today by DR.. A. P.
Hasking, assistant county physician of
Hudson county, New Jersey. DR.. Hask-
ing was present when DR.. Otto H.
Schultze, coroner's physician for New
York, performed the autopsy upon the
woman who met her death While boat
ing with Gibson on Greenwood lake on
July Is last.
He declared that the autopsy revealed
clearly that drowning was not the cause
of death.
'My opinion is he said, that death
was caused by asphyxia from strangu-
lation produced by force from without
on the upper part of the throat and
floor of the mouth"
Justice Tompllins questioned the
witness to bring out certain facts for
the jury. Although DR.. Hasking re-
NAMED mistaken on cross examination
his damaging testimony did not seem
to worry Gibson.
DR.. Schultze followed Dr. Hasking
and also testified that the cause OF the
countess death was strangulation and
not drowning. With, the conclusion of
the testimony of DR.. Schultze, at 1870
o'clock, the state rested its case
