GERMS FOUND IN

EytOrtiOniSt Threatens Death Of

CHICAGO WOMEN RECIPIENTS
Gelatin Sent to Mrs. Frederick Steele

Upon Receipt of Which Writer

Would Forward Antidote.
Chicago, Oct. 22-Search for the
mysterious sender of the microbe
message to Mrs. Frederick NJ. Steele,
resident of Highland Park, went on
with desperate haste When it became
definitely known that the threatening
letter really contained number of
disease germs unknown to science.
1t was upon this that the threat of
the sender based his attempt at eX-
tortion. He claimed that within the
letter were germs the effect of which
he only could offset and on this
treatment he set the price of $4,000.
Contained Germs.
General James E. Stuart, head of
the postal inspectors, at once sent the
letter to the Columbus laboratories.
Within a short time report was
made. The gummy substance in the
letter had Eeen found to contain a
number OF germs. These, said the
analysts, were undoubtedly disease
breeding germs. The exact nature of
the bacilli, however, the experts were
unable to determine.
The letter threatened that if the
$500 is not paid within nine days
Mrs. Steele will be beyond any hope
of recovery, even that which the
writer boasts is contained in a phial
he will exchange for the sum mention
ed. If he is arrested, the letter send
er says, it will mean Mrs. Steele's
death
He directed that the money be de-
posted in an arch of the Grant monu-
ment at Lincoln park.
Watch has been kept at the monu-
ment, but it was thought scarcely like
ly that this means would result in the
capture of the sender of the letter
Another Woman Menaced.
''The same man who sent that letter
to Mrs. Steele wrote letter to one of
the best known and most prominent
families in Chicago" General Stuart
is quoted as saying Just after he had
made public the letter received by
Mrs. Steele demanding $4,000. 1T
was written on the same typewriter
and on the same sized paper, but of
different color.
at demanded $4,000 to be left in
spot in Humboldt park. The writer
asked for it in 500 bills, 90 $50 bills
and 200 $50 bills, The paragraphing
was practically the same and the en-
tire getup of the two letters was the
same. The same person or persons
handled them both. I expect to have
the person who actually wrote them
in custody very soon"

For the Uplih.

1t is a common saying that the
churches are losing their hold on the
people. Some claim that the churches
have already lost their hold. With
that observation, generally a personal
one, in mind, it is interesting to note
that today the activities, present and
prospective. of religious organizations
n Washington, whether they be called
churches, societies, or leagues, or aSso-
ciations, are greater than ever before.
Aside from the conventions which
bring 10 Washington representatives OF
religious organizations of the nation,
Or of an extensive local territory, the
religious organizations of the Capital
are working out truly remarkable pro-
grams. 1t may be, indeed, that much

was known as church work" But
there is none OF it that is not done

no matter how few its dogmas or how
simple its creed.
knowledge is being diffused through
schools made useful TO those who
otherwise would lack the opportunity
or the desire 10 be raised up out of
ignorance. Gymnasiums, where bodily
strength and health may be increased,
are offered to boys and girls, young
men and women. The needy are be-
ing aided; the sick are attended; the
distressed are comfoued by the rep
rcsentatives of these religious bodies.
These things are being done, where
hey are done well, without sanctimony,
without the pressure of ecclesiastic in
huencc, and really without the obi
cation of any formal religion. YET
these many good things that are being
done are done through organized re-
ligion. and by these works organized
religion, generally known as the
churches, is Tightening, rather than los
ing its hold on the people. Perhaps
the process of the churches is what

Iigion," but, however described, il is
effective. The churches are gaining.

TIRED OF HoUsEwORK.

From the Brooklyn Eagle
1t is possible that the unknown woman
in Raymond Street Jail, who stole goods
In department store so openly as to
provoke arrest. may have one eye on the
vaudeville stage. or even be planning a
lecture before the wCman's clubs on
household drudgery. But II hers is a

and spades and beat the Norwegian hero
Inc as a social revOlutionist.
Nora was a plaything: this woman. on
her own showing, was drudge. Nora
vanity was wounded because her hus-
band would not take her intellect seri-
ously, although at the beginning of the
play her mental processes were about
those of pretty kitten. But like the
kitten, she was sleek and well cared for.
her husband petted her. and her children
no doubt declared that she was just
the sweetest little mamma that ever
lived. No wonder it has taken the world
a generation to understand that Nora
had a grievance, or that the first night
audience in Vienna persisted in regard
ing the play as a farce
The woman in Raymond Street Jail has

son and little daughter Of ten And
then she adds: 1T wasn't the work that
brought me here. 1t was because nobody
ever thought l ought to have a smile or
a kind word" Before Indiana had re-
placed New England as the literary Gen.
ter OF the country, there used to pour
out from the New England writers story
after story depicting the loneliness and
drudgery Of the farmers wives in the
hills, while about the same time statis-
tics from the insane asylums showed
that such women made up a very large
percentaGe OF their inmates. The city Is
not lonely. There is a wide variety OF
diversion In its streets, its shops and its
multitudinous free shows. That a woman
should be driven TO desperation amid such
surroundings shows a lack of considera-
ton in her home which would have
shamed even the selfish New England
farmers of Miss Wilkins and Mrs. Cooke
But that she was desperate Is shown
by the remedy she chose. There is stark
tragedy in a state Of mind which would
welcome a year In prison as a relief
from the care of husband and children.
Nora went out into the world free The
worst that could happen to her was to
fan to find job. ard thus have to come
back penitently 70 the husband who had
humiliated her. But a prison cell is not
nice place in which to pose as a martyr.

or much suffering. In any case, this

greater publicity than she ever dreamed

lectures on the brutality OF the tyrant

year. Before the reformers OF her own
sex BEGIN 70 exploit her. however, II
would be well to have a diagnosis Of her
condition by competent physicians. A
campaign for a reform of the domestic
relations based upon the freak of crazy
woman would be neither edifying nor
salutary.
