STANTON MURDER A PUZZLE.
Three Charges Pending in Which
Relations Are Accused
Each Time.

Stanton, Va, June 23.-An UNI
nsnal situation exists just at this
time in the criminal courts of Staun-
TON and Augusta county, where three
mnr3er cases of a nature to call Tor
I+ba talents of Sherlock Holmes are
|pending. In each case relative OF
the victim is in jail charged with the
lcrime.
The evidence against the accused
|person in each instance is clrcum-
|stantial. and the impelling motive for
|Sbe crime is either untraced or is
very obscure.
The cases are those of Mrs. Mamie
Bridges, charged with numbering her
husband by administering strychnire
lin apple tarts; Charles Donaghe,
charged with numbering his sister in
their secluded home, the crime having
been committed with a club; and
Harry and Lee Greaver, charged with
numbering their brother-in-law, Ed
ward Miller, and laying the body on
the railroad track to conceal the
crime.
The latter case has been pending
two wears, Miller's death having been
let down as am accident, but the po-
ice have been working on the case
bn the theory that it was murder,
and recently the arrest of the Greav-
hrs followed.

The Truth About
Electric Cooking

For large families where
the average domestic help is
employed and a large
amount of cooking done,
Electric Cooking will be
found more expensive, and
in most cases not advisable.
In small families, where
no help is employed, and
where nice equipment is de-
sired, Electric cooking will
be found many times more
convenient, more certain in
results and safer in opera
tion-as well as reasonable
in cost.
In every family a few
utensils for early breakfast
emergency and special uses
and for cheering up cold
meals with a warm dish or
two-is highly advisable
from every standpoint, in
Guiding that of economy.

Comstock Defines
Immoral"

NEW YORK. April 10.-An-
thony Comstock, head of the So
ciety for the Suppression of Vice
recently defined the word s'im-
moral" as accepted by the gov
eminent. to be anything that
tends to destroy the dignity OF
womanhood, or to display the fe-
male form in an irrevelent man
ner.',
According to Comstock, this
was the definition set by the
court of appeals, but he added a
more literal definition would be:
Anything that has a tendency
to corrupt the minds of persons
open to such influences.
No one revers the female
form more than r., said the we'll
known reformer. I'm my opin-
ion, there is nothing else In the
world so beautiful as the form of
a beautiful maiden-woman-noth-
ing. But the place for woman's
body to beer. denuded---is in
the privacy OF her own apart
ments, with the blinds down."

formally presented to President Viii

his visitors he had not made up his
mind on the suffrage question.
"The president was courteous and
sympathetic throughout said Mrs,

Of the leaders OF the National Wo-

there were many pressing questions
to come up at the extra session and
that if he did not recommend action
on the question, he did not want It to
be taken as an indication Of his gen
eral attitude, as he was not commit

Other members Of the party said
the president viewed the woman suf-
