SHOOTS GIRL WHO
REFUSES TO WED HIM

New York, December 12.-Anger
cd by her refusal to marry him af
ter they had been engaged severa
months, William Brennan, Is year:
old, shot Miss Mabel Habit, 81, in a
hallway on East Seventy-eighth street
where she ran to escape him Thurs
day morning. The young woman
will probably die. Brennan surren-
dered Immediately after the shoot.
ing.
Brennan had planned the shooting
of the young woman two weeks ago
when he first suspected she did not
want to marry him. At that time he
left her to go for a marriage license
and she told them they would have to
get a witness. He understood that a
witness was not required and believ-
ed the girl was deceiving him.
Brooding over it, he bought a re-
volver with the apparent intention
of killing her if she again refused to
accompany him to the marriage
license bureau.
He arranged an appointment for
this morning. He was there half
hour before she arrived, and when
she came along he impatiently asked
her where was the witness she had
promised to bring along.
will, don't want to get married
yet," the girl said. I'm young and
so are you. Let us forget about it
for a tim eat least.
Brennan threatened her and raised
his voice until she started to walk
hurriedly away. He followed, plead
ing with her. Suddenly Brennan drew
the revolver. She heard him threaten,
turned, and when she saw the re-
volver started to run.
Screaming for help, the young
woman turned into the hallway. In
a half swoon she fell upon the stairs.
A second later Brennan entered and
fired at her. The bullet pierced her
right lung and lodged in her abdo-
men. When witnesses of the shoot
ing followed Patrolman Gamble into
the hall a moment later they saw
Brennan kneeling at the side of the
girl. The revolver was on the floor
at her side.

Christmas time has once more roll
ed around and the question of how
to spend the holidays to the best ad-
vantage again faces US. 1t has always
seemed strange to us that the birth
day of our SAVIOUR should be a sea-
son of much drunken debauchery
and that fireworks should play such
an important part in its celebration.
Why should we show our apprecia-
tion of the fact that on this day the
man who brought us redemption for
our sins was born into the world by
making as much hellish racket as
possible? Is this the true Christmas
spirit? Do we suppose our SAVIOUR
is gratified by looking down on a
world one half of which is deliberat-
ly getting drunk, not because it is His
birthday but because it is a national
holiday and on that day we may all
debauch with impunity. On Christ
mas day the story of the life of Christ
should be taught to every child in the
world. They should be made to
know what the day means. The Gus
tom of burning up thousands of dol
lars worth of fireworks has gradual
ly grown on the world until it is al
most impossible to make the average
boy see that his idea of jubilation is
all wrong. What could be more ri
diculous than spending a day which
should be full of soulful joy and
thankfulness, day full of deafening
clamor and thoughtlessness. Don't
make the mistake of suddenly refus-
ing to furnish the where-with for the
fireworks but teach the story of the
worlds redemption to your child so
wildly that he will see his mistaken
idea of how the day should be spent.

All we can say to Mr.. Stanley's
having gone on the wagon is that he
has our best wishes and we are going
to watch him stick on. We hope that
at the end of his administration he
can not only point out the fact that
he has kept his resolution but can
show us some results in the way of
good things accomplished. Such a
resolve would be very commendable
in anybody, but in MIR. Stanley We
regard it as marvellous. Hail Ken
lucky, she has Governor who does
not drink. We don't suppose there
are more than forty states in the un-
ion which are fortunate enough to
have a dry governor.

CZARINA'S MIND SAVED BY
HER WORK AS WAR NURSE

Peirograd. Dec. 11.-If the war
has brought, lnspeakable horro: IN
tie Russian people, it has $50
brought comfort to the Imperial
household OF the car. Prior to the
war 1t was no secret that the car
ina suffered from am arked form of
melancholia with other mental pecu-
liarities. The fear was held in the
close intimacies of court circles that
she was drifting into hopeless in
sanity.
But since the Czarina with her
two daughters, the Grand Duchess
Olga and the Grand Duchess Tati-
ana, have entered activity into their
work as Red Cross nurses, the
word has gone thorugh all the
Russias that the mental sickness of
the czarina has been cured.
To her constant and self-secrific-
ing labors in the Court Hospital"
at Tsarskoe Selo, the village where
the famous summer palace of the
ear is located. is credited the re-
lief which has come to her mental
ly.
The czarina and the grand duch-
esses took a thorough course in
training in the care of the wounded
soldiers. She threw herself into
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1915-12-17

The organization of the hospital with
enthusiasm and had 1t equipped in
the most perfect manner.
The work was placed under the
direction of the Princess Gedroye,
one of the higest nobility and who
has won a national reputation in
Russia as one of the foremost wo-
men doctors. The czarina with her
daughters works at the hospital
every day from 8 a. m. to 2. p. m. and
often later.
So impressed are they with tie
seriousness and the humanity of
their services that they often re-
turn in the evenings, and when
they have dangerously wounded pa
tients they say all night. The car
ina has also equipped a bath train
and presented 1t to the soldiers in
the field.
The Court Hospital has accommo-
dations for 200 soldiers and 80 Of
ficers. The regular nurses uniform
which the royal nurses wear is made
of white with red cross on the
left arm. The example of the car
ina and her daughter has induced
many women of the Russian nobil-
ity to devote themselves to Red
Cross work.
Some of them have turned over
their residences in Petrograd as
we'll as their estates in the country
to the soldiers for hospitals. The
Grand Duchess Olga is 20 years
old and her sister, Tatians, II. Both
of them have been gazetted colon
els of two crack cavalry regiments
in their fathers service.

FAVORS MILITIA
RECEIVING PAY
GEN. TANDY ELLIS THINKS 1T
WOULD BRING GUARD UP
TO STANDARD.

Lexington, KY, Dec. 14.-Adjut-
ant General ]. Tandy Ellis said that
he hoped that the plan of secretary
of War Garrison for a paid militia
would be put into effect.
Military routine is monotonous
and to many men uninteresting," he
said. at is difficult to bring the Ma
tional guard up to the standard in
numbers and in efficiency without
some inducement to the members to
give their time to drill and maneuv-
ers and the study of tactics.
IF the national guard of the state
could be placed upon a basis where
by the men would receive some pay
for the time they give to drill and
instruction, l believe it would re-
suit in the better attendance of men
at drill, it would make the instruc-
ton more effective and more thor
ough and it would certainly have
the effect of increasing the number
of enlistments.
IF the national program of pre-
paredness is to have a reserve of cit
liens who can be called upon at short
notice in time of war, it is folly, in
these days of highly specialized war;
fare to put them in the field without
considerable training and familiarity
with their duties as soldiers.
1T is also essential that there
should be an army of reserve of suf-
ficient numbers to make prompt mill
tary operations on a large scale pos
sible, and it would seem that the
most effective way to build up such
an army would be to pay the men for
the time they give to military duty.
I have no doubt but that under such
an arrangement every state in the
union would be able to so increase
its national guard that it would be
readily available for military opera
lions of considerable scope"

BILL Is PROPOSED
FOR THE LEGISLATURE

The County Judges Association OF
Kentucky hopes to see the next Leg
islature pass a bill providing for
jurisdiction by county judges of all
misdeanor cases, according to Judge
S. E. DeHaven, of Oldham county,
who is attending the annual meeting
of the association at the courthouse.
At present the county judges have
jurisdiction only in misdeanor cases
where the fine is not more than 500
and the jail sentence is not more than
fifty days.
The last Legislature passed a bill
intended to bring about a change
in the scope of jurisdiction. he said,
but a Covington man had inserted a
provision that he law could not ap-
ply to cities of that class. AS all
County Judges must have uniform
jurisdiction, the provision nullifed
the law.
The second days session of the as
ISOLATION were held Friday. A num-
Der of the judges on the program did
not attend. Those reporting to the
secretary, who had been assigned sub
jects, included these: ID. Il. Halter,
Simpson; j. b. Wilson, Ohio; S. w.

placed control OF her affairs in the
hands of her sister, how she vainiy
struggled to be permitted TO have
voice in her own affairs and finally had
used yesterdays subterfuge to escape
from the house to consult with the
magistrate.
The justice Of the peace called in
Attorney George II. Furman to repre-
sent her. and reported the affair to the
District Attorney. 1t was on the sd-
vice of both lawyers that she took
suite of rooms at the Townsend Hotel
with her grandmother and maid. The
guards who are on duty yesterday were
supplied by the prosecuting attorney.
One Of the first moves OF the lawyers
for Miss Teixeira will be TO demand an
accounting Of the estate held in trust
for her by her father. Then, in view
of the fact that she is twenty-four
years old, it will be demanded that con-
troll of it be given 70 her. The young
woman said that her father had at
tempted to have her pronounced insane
by two physicians he summoned to the
house, but that they had not only pro-
nounced her normal. but had advised
her to go to the justice Of the peace
and ask for protection.

800 In DANGER
ON CRIPPLED SHIP
Friends Pray That Thessa-
loniki Will Dock Before
Big Storm Breaks.

Somewhere east OF Sandy Hook the
crippled Greek steamship Thesssloniki
with her 800 passengers is wallowing
in the heavy seas that have been run
ming since Sundays gale. Her engines
partially disabled. the boiler room
awash and with a heavy list to star
board, she Is slowly making for port,
while the friends and relatives Of those
on board pray that she may arrive be-
fore another heavy storm predicted for
this morning breaks upon her.
The latest wireless message from the
Thessaloniki, at 1880 o'clock last night,
said she was 100 miles away and max
ing only four knots. All on board were
reported we'll.
In response to a delayed wireless
message for help the coast guard cut
ter Seneca went racing TO the Gresk
ships aid early yesterday. At a late
hour she had not sent word of finding
her.
Great anxiety has been felt for the
Thessaloniki since she sent out her
first "S o S" call last Wednesday. She
was then about 700 miles from the
American coast, and reported her boiler
and engine rooms partially Hooded. Inc
Italian liner Stampalis went to her aid,
and after standing by through the
night came on to New York the next
day when the Greek ship signalled that
she was out of danger.
