Miserable creaturei
Consider what the bag Of gold
might have brought the woman. She
could have had pretty clothes and
comfortable surroundings. plenty to
eat. medical attendance In her sick
ness. perhaps a prolongation Of life.
She might have had the countless
little delicacies and the attentions
craved by the normal woman who can
afford them.
But
She evidently preferred barren and
comfortless surroundings. rags and
bare subsistence Why? That she
might close the shutters. Of her win

There are business men who will
deny themselves the common joys of
friendship. the companionship Of their
families. the vacations they sorefy

Like the woman. they are money

They are monomaniacs.
Also there are women who care more
for social pleasures than for the well

Everywhere are those who sell their

Why?
Because of misccnception of the

are not worth while. things that can
not permanently satisfy, things that
do not abide.

 None of the prisoners, three of whom were negro men and enc a negro wom- ami had yet been captured tonight. Hamilton, central figure in the escapade was released from his cell in the city prison on $100 bond, He will be tried in the city court tomorrow afternoon on a charge of disorderly conduct Later he will face charges before the board of police commissioners.

MAGNATES GATHER IN NEW YORK FOR
 LEAGUE MEETING

New York, December S.-Baseball men began their invasion of New York to- day. National league activities will begin tomorrow afternoon with a meeting of the board of directors, which will try to straighten out the dispute between Roger Bresnahan and the St. Louis club over the former managers contract.
 The annual meeting of the National league will be held Tuesday. The big business before the league Is the election of president. At this time, in general baseball opinion, as moulded by the re- cent special meeting which sustained the leagues president in the Fogel case, the reelection of Thomas J. Lynch seems as- sured.
 Robert W. Brown, Louisville editor, was a candidate for the office a few months ago, though Mr. Browns friends were doing all his campaigning. MT. Brown, however. has said he does not want his name put before the meeting unless he is sure of election.
 President Lynch had little to say to- day about the prospects. T never asked man to vote for me in my life, and l do not propose to start now he said. T am willing to stand on my record. The league has had some internal disputes in my ad- ministration, but l have always done my best to run the organization on pros porous business like basis

Wife Suffragist, Husband Will Not

From the London Chronicle.
 As he refuses to pay duty and costs" amounting to over f3T. due as tax on his wife's income, Mir. Marx Wilks, assistant schoolmaster at Dalg- lcish street school, Stepney, and liv ing at Upper Clapton, was yesterday arrested and taken to BriXton prison
 His wife, Dr. Elizabeth Wilks. has a touch larger income than he, but she is a suffragist and a member of tho committee of the Women's Tax Resis- lance league. Her husband agrees with her contention that tax resistance is the best way of protesting against the votefess condition of women, and therefore he has refused to pay her income tax Several times distraints have been levied. but when hailiffs re- gently called for this purpose they were informed that the furniture be- longed to Mrs. Wil<s.
 A curious point is that although ac- cording to the married women's prop e-tv act. a womans property is en- tirelv out of the control of the hus- band. he is still liable for her income tax
 Mrs Parkes. of the Women's Tax Resistance league, said yesterday that the law provides that the person in rrison has to remain in custody till the debt is paid As MT. Will<s would never nav. he would have to remain in GUS tody forever. Demonstrations of pro- test are being organized.
