NelUS From the Tripod
DEATH BY GOSSIP,

(From Memphis Commercial-Appeal.)
There is a set of malicious, prating,
prudent gossips." remarks Sheridan in
1.-THE School of Scandal" both male
and female, who murder to kill time
and who rob young fellow of his
good name before he has years to know
the value Of it."
Last week an Ohio woman shot her.
self because gossiping neighbors made
her life miserable.
Less than year ago young girl in
Philadelphia, of beautiful character.
whose life was the clean and pure life
of any honest girl, was made the mark
of gossp's tongue. Unsigned letters
were sent through the mail to her
neighbors, assailing her character.
Even the secret service men of the gov
eminent could not find the evil-minded
gossip. In the end the young girl. so
racked with worry and so helpless to
defend herself against these masked az.
saults, killed herself.
The coroner would have been tusti.
fed In ordering a verdict of death by
gossip
The curse Of the world today is the
habit of gossiping. Truth is not excit-
ing enough for some people. They de-
pend upon the character and lives of
their neighbors for their amusement.
More and more the fact ia impressed
upon us that if all persons know what
each said Of the other there would be
but few friends in this world.
In the case Of the two women who
destroyed themselves to escape the evil
ongue Of gossip there is ample room
or sympathy. It was the extremity of
oily to resort to suicide, about the
poorest answer possible to give maljci-
us gossips. 1t looks too much like a
eHfession.
On the ether hand, mental torture
rives men and women to extremes,
nd especially with a woman whose
irtue is her greatest jewel. She
annot stand the pricks and stings of
'andal like man. She is helpless
hen her honor is assailed. She can
'otest, but there will always be some
lie who will believe that there must

lsly made.
Narrow minded and ignorant per-
ms talk about their acquaintances

his Is why gossip is the bane and dis
ace of so large portion of society.
Gossiping is low, frivolous, dis F
lsting, dirty business and should be f
scouraged by all self-respecting men II
ID women. 1t can do no possible A

Tense but to ignore it, and it takes h
determined character to ignore such
llicious attacks.

Not Necessary To Wait Arrival
Of Medicine From
Lexington.

Godfrey Morgan, County Agent,
has arranged with the Kentucky Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station to
make Hopkinsville cold storage de-
pot for anti-hog-cholera serum. This
will enable orders to be promptly
filled Often the delay in getting the

hogs to be lost that should be saved.
When cholera strikes a herd, owners
want serum Immediately. This phase
of the subject was presented to the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station by the swine raisers of Chris
tan county, and in order to over
come this difficulty Mr.. Morgan will
be allowed to keep the serum for
sale at one cent per cubic centimeter.
1t takes from 10 to 100 centimeters
per hog, according to the size. 1t is
put up in bottles of $50, 500, 1000
and $500 cubic centimeters. Details
as to its use will be supplied by Mr..
Morgan. The serum is distributed

In Mexican Revolution Fought
At San Pedro This
Week.
REBELS WIN THE VICTORY.
Federal Loss About $500 And
Rebels Heavy But Not
So Great.

San Pedro De Las Colonias, Goa
hula, Mex, April 15.-(Via Torreon,
April 17.)-A survey of the battle
field Of the last week shows that the
battle for possession of this city,
which engaged practically the full
force of rebels and federals, was the
bloodiest of the revolution.
The battle was at its climax Satur-
day, Sunday and Monday, and on the
last day the rebel loss in wounded
alone was $50 men. In all 1900
rebels were wounded so seriously as
to require hospital treatment. The
rebel dead may never be known
owing to the wide area covered by
the battle.
The federal loss was at least $500
killed, wounded, prisoners and "dis-
persed.." By dispersed ismeant those
federals who we're separate from
their commands and fled individual
ly or in small detachments to the
hills or into the desert, probably t
perish there for lack of food anC
water. Twelve hundred regular
were captured by the constitution
alists. The men were mustered int
| the rebel ranks while their officer
will be held as prisoners. A numbe
of so-called volunteers or red flag

NEW ROLLER
is AT WORK
Tried Out With Entire Success
On Rebuilding Virginia
Street.

The new international roller pur-
chased from C. H. Bornhauser. local
agent of the international Co., has
been received and is now at work on
the streets. 1t was put to work on
Virginia street between Seventh and
Eighth streets Thurday. The scarf
flying attachment was first used and
the old roadbed torn up under the
direction of City Engineer B. F. Nc
Claid. Then the split log drag was
used to grade the loose stone "a the
center and crown the street, d ter
which the roller was passed over the
entire street service. The effect was
to leave the street in about as good
condition as is possible to make
maeadam street without a binding
course. The work is done at COM
paratively small expense and the
roller is expected to pay for itself
over and over again in the material
saved.

Public Meeting Was Held At
The Avalon Thursday
Night.
JUDGE WINFREE PRESIDED
Miss Lily Ray Glenn Presented
The Arguments For WC-
man Suffrage.

A large audience greeted the suf-
rage speakers Thursday night at the
Avalon and number of men and
women signed the cards of member
ship in the Christian County Woman,
Suffrage League. 1t is a non-dues,
paying organization, and does not
bind its members to anything except
a belief in woman suffrage. All who
live in Christian county are invited
to join this league.
Judge w. P. Winfree, in introduce
ing the speakers, spoke briefly in
endorsement of the cause of 'equsi
suffrage. He refuted the argument
that women should not vote because
they could not fight, drawing a sharp
contrast between the physical weak
ness of Alexander Stephens and the
brute strength of Corbett and Jack
johnson.
Miss Lily Ray Glenn said that ev~
cry good movement must go through
the stages of contempt and ridicule,
and that the woman suffragist is no
longer looked upon as an umbrella
waving, disgruntled woman. Women
of today owe their opportunity for
higher education to those pioneer
suffragists who fought against pre-
ljudice and superstition to gain for
girls the same educational advant-
ages enjoyed by the boys.
Judge w. T. Fowler stated that
wherever women vote you will find
the greatest array of laws safeguard
ing women and children. He point
ed out the bad laws that exist in
states where women do not vote
for instance in some states, hus-
band can will away the custody of
minor child, even an unborn child.
Only two years ago, Kentucky wo-
men were given equal guardianship,
with the husband and father over a
minor child, the Kentucky Equal
Rights Association having secured
this legislation.
The members of the new league
were to meet yesterday afternoon at
three o'clock, in the Avalon, to elect
their officers.
Miss Glenn left last night for
Owensboro and from that city will
go to Louisville to continue her work.

GEN. HUERTA
CLIMBS DOWN
Will Salute Stars And Stripes
And Crisis
Passes.
FIRM STAND WON OUT.
Congress Stood Ready To
Back Up The Adj
ministratiOn.
FIRM STAND WON OUT.

Washington, April 1.-THE Unit
ed States government has accepted
General Huerta's offer to salute the
stars and stripes as an apology for
the arrest of American blue jackets
at Tampico a week ago Thursday.
ThelHuerta governments salute to
the American flag will be answered
with salute to the tri-color of the
Mexican nation.
This arrangement, the details of
which were being finally arranged in
an exchange of official messages be-
tween Washington and Mexico City,
ended, in the view of allhigh admin
istration officials, the crisis that had
resulted in the dispatch of American
war fleet to Mexican waters. Execu-
tive officers and congressman breath
ed sigh of relief that the tension
had passed.
No time had been set for the fir
ing Of the salute, and until the
details are arranged, no further ord
ers will be sent to American fleets
now proceeding south. 1t is prac-
tically certain, however, that for
while many of the vessels will be
maintained in Mexican waters.
Huerta's offer and request for
return salute caused President Will
son to ask'for an opinion from the
counsellor of the state department
and navy department officials. All
reported that it was the invariable
custom in naval practice to return a
salute and cited precedents. The
President also was informed that
Rear Admiral Mayo, on making his
original demand for salute, agreed
to return the courtesy.
Mr.. Wilson said a return of a sa-
Lutte under such circumstances did
not involve recognition Of the Huer-
ia government, but was merely an
act of the same character as grasp
ing the hand of an individual who
was apologizing as he extended it.
