The opinion was expressed by many.

have the effect of at least curtailing
a session after the national party con-
ventions in June. A majority of the
members are believed to regard the
plans of adjournment before them as
practicable. Senator Cummins said

ton bill alone would be before the
Senate more than month.
The regular Republican members of
the committee expect to report a sub
stitute for the House free sugar bill,
prepared by Senator Lodge. While it
would eliminate tile differential and the
Dutch standard, it would retain the
present tariff rates.

THE SUGAR TRUST.

New York. May 16.-How and why
the so-called Sugar Trust was form

cial examiner in the gov ernment's dis
solution suit by Julius A. Stursberg
formerly secretary of the Brooklyn Re-
hning Co, who was called as a wit
ness by Henry A. Wise United States
district attorney. Strong competition
was the reason assigned by Mr.. Sturs-
berg. He said the Trust" agreement
was brought about by conferences
which John L. Searles of the Brooklyn
Refining Co. had with the officers of
other companies
Questioned BY District Attorney
Wise, Mr.. Stursberg said that after the
first agreement was entered into in
1885 all the refneries were closed
down 10 days to reduce the overproduc-
ton of sugar.

la plea of insanity was set up by his
counsel and strongly supported by afii-
davits extending over his life. The
character of these affidavits left no
other course for the Governor TO SUBJ
NIT these and the prisoner himself to
an examination by our leading alien
lists. in order TO protect the common
wealth from the charges that the man
was actually insane when the deed was
committed as well as at the present
time
1.-The evidence shows that Richeson's
family is heavily afflicted with insanity,
that he himself is neutroic. a sonambu-
list and neurasthenic; that he is sub
ject to extreme emotional disturbances,
marked by loss of memory, which two
alienists have diagnosed as hystericai
insanity, one physician adding the alter
native term of hysterical delirium, and
the majority opinion indicating that
these attacks are hysterical attacks.
marked by extreme emotional disturb
ances of brief duration, with loss of
memory during the attack and for va
rying period following It,
''The evidence however, while clearly
revealing these attacks indicates that
his crime was not committed by him dur
ing such an attack.
therefore, while there is some diverg
ence of opinion among the alienists as
to whether these attacks indicate actual
insanity. there is sufficient ground for
the conclusion that he is accountable for
his crime. and that the exercise OF exec
utive clemency in this instance would be

bargain with him. If he Is poor
and has no money with which to
pay for his freedom, she does we'll
to go anyway, for there is no other
laborer on earth who works so hard
and gets so little pay as a poor
mans wife. Her only reward. is
the love- and appreciation of her
husband, and if she doesn't get
these her labor is profitless indeed
There is no woman of ordinary
sense and health who can't make a
living in these days and be treated
decently In the bargain, and so
there is no reason for a wife re-
naming with a husband who tells
her how tired he is of her and re-
proaches her with being alive, ex-
cept that she wants to stay.
Unfortunately there are plenty OF
women who justify the old adage.
a woman, a dog and a walnut
tree, the more you beat them, the
better they be-" Such women sim
ply thrive on ill treatment, and the
more they are kicked and insulted,
the tighter they cling to a man.
Nobody need waste any sympa-
thy on them, for they are having
the time of their lives when thew
are believing your parlor carpet
with tears, and taking up your time
telling how their husbands neglect
and Ill use them. They are span,
iels that crawl back to kiss the
hand that strikes them, and they
are subjects for our contempt rath-
er than our pity.
Enjoy Their Misery.
Nothing can be done for these
women except to leave them to en-
joy their misery and to revel in
whining. They are spineIess crea-
lures, worms of the dust without
enough backbone in them even to
turn, but the woman who has
few sections of vertebrate, enough to
make her resent being an unwel-
come wife, has just one chance to
get back her lost happiness.
And that is by leaving her hus-
baad, and giving him a chance to
find out that the blessing he has de-
spised is more necessary to his well
being than he has realized. Moth
ing makes a woman of such value
in mans eyes as to be unattain-
able. Also nothing makes a man so
Indifferent to a woman as for her to
be always Sally on the-spot. The
chief reason that men make negli-
gent husbands Is because they
cherish the idea that a wife is
something you can't lose.
Therefore, a wife's one and only
chance to win back the husband
who frankly tells her he is weary Of
her and sorry he married her Is to
go away and leave him, and give
him the opportunity to find out how
much he misses her, and how much
she is necessary to his happiness. If
he cares for her at all, absence will
quicken love, and he will come back
to her a repentant and a chastened
husband.
If he doesn't come back. il he
really does loathe her, as he says.
then the sooner she knows it, and
can set about making a life of her
own, the better for her.
