4 WOMAN.

A woman in Connecticut has been SCI
%suffragettes mostly or altogether, pro
test against her execution. She had &C
lively assisted i'm the murder Of her nus
band by her paramount. The ob 'ection c
her execution is not based on an thco
nv of her innocence but solely on tn
fact that she is a woman. On that sub
iect the New York World SAYS:
The Connecticut woman suffra-
cist who protests against the move
ment to secure a pardon for Mrs.
Wakefield. sentenced to be hanged
fn, numbering her husband is made
of sterncr stuff than most OF her
sex. and than most men. too. She
has the strength Of mind to regard
only the fact Of the hidcouS crime
committed and the extreme pcnatN
held to he just in the eyes OF the
law. and to cave aside the question
of the muriererS sex
The average person is filled with
horror at the thought Of q
being hanged, While accepting d i
matter of course that the law
should claim the life of the male
criminal guilty of murder. Whcnef-
er a case arises like that Of Mrs.
Wakefield. il is made the occasion
for an outbreak of false sentiment
i'm which every circumstance but
one-that a woman is to be put to
death-iS overlooked.
Peop'c do not rebel because muir
dcrers ar made to fee the hang
mans knot. They do not demand
the abolition of capital punishment
as a survival of barbarism. They
clamor that the law be SUSPENDED
for the sole reason that the muir
derer happens to be a woman.
The law should take its course
i'm Mrs. Wakeficld's case. The pen
atty fits the crime under the Con
nccticnt law. and the law recog-
nizes no exceptions for the benefit
of wives who kill their husbands.

MAY WAR On
DANCES
Atlanta Diocese Expected to Fol-
low Lead Of Catholic and
Presbyterian Churches.

ROME, Nov. 1.-THE introduction
by DR. R. c. Reed, of Columbia, S. c,
Of a resolution denouncing the tango,
turkey trot, grizzly bear and other
modern dances and its passage by
the $50 commissioners to the Synod
of Georgia, in session this week, has
created a sensation here. The Atlanta
Diocese of the Episcopal Church
meets here next week, and there Is
much speculation as to whether that
church will follow the lead of the
Catholic and Presbyterian Churches
in condemning the dances.
Immodest dress was scored also in
the resolution by DR.. Reed. 1t calls
upon the parents, especially the moth
ers, to guard their daughters against
all forms OF worldliness and prohibit
them from wearing slit skirts and
dancing the tango. It calls upon the
members of the church, as presbyte-
rians, to Danish from their social lives
such evils.
Discuss Dance War.
Before the session this morning
there was much discussion among the
ministers about the resolution.
1.-The movement started by the
Catholic Church against the modern
dances and immodest dress" said one
prominent Augusta pastor, 'fs most
commendable one, and should be
taken up by every denomination. I
only wish that the resolution was
stronger, so that dancing and tango
or wearing a slit skirt could be suffi-
cient cause to eXpel a member from
the church"
Many other ministers and laymen
expressed their strongest condemna-
ton of the evils, some even declaring

that they were worse than whisky

Local Presbyterie1s, as a rule, are
in favor of the resolution, several of

the dances and slit skirt and passed
resolutions deploring the decay of ETH
