Recommended.

A device for the kitchen sink that
has proved successful In keeping the
drain pipes clean is made OF wooden
frame and ordinary window screen.
Make q wooden frame, about two
inches high, just wide enough to At
nicely into the sink. and not quite as
long as the inside of the sink. On
one end of this nail board, covering
about half the length Of the frame;
on the other end, on the opposite side,
nail q piece of wire window screen.
This device may be kept in the sink
always, the dishpan set on the wooden
part, and anything poured on the other
part will be strained before reaching
the pipes. This may be easily cleaned.
and the wire screening renewed at
small expense, when worn through.
1t is better than the ordinary sink

JEROME FIRED FROM CASE
Nine Years Unrelentlne Pursuit Of
Harry Thaw Ended BY Attorney.
General E. E. Woodbury..

New York.--William Travers JeI
ONE, for nearly nine years known as
Harry Kendall Thaw's nemesis. was
removed from his position of special
encouragement of the state of New
York, by Attorney-ae General Egbert B.
Woodbury. aud at once ceased his
fight to have Thaw sent back TO Mat.
tewan.
Just why Jerome was removed is
open to much conjecture. Jerome says
that he was tired OF the case, shrank
from the publicity It entailed and had
grown sensitive to the calumny of the
crowds who cheered Thaw as a perse-
cuted hero and hooted his prosecutor
as little old man of the sea.
The reasons that actuated Attorney
General Woodbury. are embodied In the
telegram OF dismissal which he sent
to Jerome. The telegram reads;
"You and Mr.. Kennedy ought to be
congratulated upon the successful
elimination of your efforts for the re-
turn OF Harry X. Thaw to the rightful
jurisdiction Of the courts of this state.
In this accomplishment you have full
filled the purpose Of your designation
as special deputy attorney-generai.
The case will now be handled by the
attorney-general's office through r.
Kennedy and Frank X. Cook, assisted
by the district attorney OF New York
County. where the indictment against
Thaw for conspiracy to escape was
found.
Il thank you for your services and
shall feel free to call upon you by rea-
SON of your Familiarity with the case
should occasion require.
Il do not, however. feel justified in
continuing special counsel in the case
at the expense of the state unless un.
usual circumstances arise which seem
to render such assistance necessary
or advisable.
"EGBERT e. WOODBURY.,
Attorney General"
Thus ends the long prosecution OF
Thaw by Jerome. And thus one Of
the greatest obstacles between Thaw
and freedom is removed. Without any
reflection on the ability Of Messrs.
Kennedy. Cook and Perkins, Thsw's
friends are openly predicting that his
chances for victory In his coming fight
are now more than bright. Jerome has
been connected with the case since
the night the Pittsburgh millionaire
shot and killed Stanford White. nine
years ago next June,

The STRAIGHT issue.

Lincoln once said that this republic
was founded ON the rule of root. hog
or die and women are no less amena-
BILE TO that principle than are men.
The amiable theory that it is mans
function to provide and woman's func-
ton to be sheltered is a living lie, as
millions of w0men wage earners can
testify. Sometimes man provides and
sometimes he doesn't. The woman
who is sheltered today may be work
ing in a factory tomorrow to support
herself and her children. Hunger
knows no sex. Want knows no sex.
Necessity knows no sex. Law knows
no sex. Property knows no sex. Only
the ballot box knows sex.
But the ballot box once knew rank.
Ii once knew land and primogeniture.
It once knew income and money and
family. lAll those paraphernalia of
privilege have been swept away. and
the disability of sex will follow. In
the steady sweep of democracy the
time will come when the present OPP
position TO woman suffrage will seem
as shortsighted and senseless as the
former opposition to manhood suffrage
now seems.
Democracies always nov forward.
That is their law of self preservation.
IL they stand still or %retrograde they
are lost.-New York World.
