A Baltimore jury has declined to find
a woman guilty of murder in the first
.degree, although, it is said, all the
members believe her guilty, because
some of, them were opposed to the
idea of hanging a woman. The senti-
ment against hanging as a punishment
for murder is widespread, but as yet

The city council should at once pro-
vide horsés for the hose companies and
keep them in the houses for instant
service. Saturday night when the
companies arrived at the Ellis barn,
some two miles away, the men were
exhausted and~a number taken sick.
It is too much to ask a volunteer de-
partment to drag their heavy apparatus
such-a distance and then expect them
to do good work. .

It is too soon to assume that the light-
ing in the Philippines is done, but we
may assume that the worst of it is over.
The forceful and persistent campaign
of the American army has evidently
astonished and demoralized the native
forces, and they are seeking a cessation
of hostilities. General Otis knows, of
course, how much importance to attach
to this and his judgment may be trusted
entirely. His soldiers doubtless need
a rest as much as the Filipinos, but
they will keep going as long as neces-
sary to finish the task they have under-
taken.
At the same time it is altogether
likely that these pacific proposals may
open the way to some satisfacmry nego-
tiations with the native people that
will lead to peace without any formal
recognition of the authority of their
leaders. The time for treating with
Aguinaldo, if there ever wasatime,
has passed by, but there probably are
other head men among the Filipinos
who could be trusted, and it ought to
be understood that any judicious settle-
ment that could be effected without
unnecessary loss of life would be ac-
ceptable at home, as it certainly would
be to the brave fellowswho are adding
new lustre to American arms.

SHE HAD “PUSH.”
flYonng Woman “Who Got 11 Position,
\Vhile the Other Girl Is Still
Unemployed.
There were two young women sing-
ers who came to New York not long
ago to continue their musical educa-
tions and also to get church positions
to support themselves and pay for their
lessons, says the New York Times. The
absolute necessity of enterprise and de-
ltermination in at least making an ef-
fort to open every possible door in
New York is to be seen in the fortunes
of the two. Both were equally anxious
for positions and equally in need of
them. They were equally attractive
girls and equally ladylike, but’ the one
felt that her efforts must be made only
through certain conventional channels
and the other made an application any-
where she thought there was a possi-
bility of a position, no matter how much
it might be above What she felt she
could do or below what she hoped to
do. Wherever there was a chance of a.
'singer being needed she presented
herself, and sung, always with increas-
ing confidence. If she went to the
organist of a church and heard through
him that a certain man in the congrega-
tion was the one upon Whose vote a.
singer came or went she immediately
presented herself to the man who would
be the one person to help her to accom—
plish her purpose. She was always
ladylike, but she developed that quality
have a position to stay in New York
and she got One. Now she is connect-
ed with one of the largest churches,
while the other girl, who has been in
The city a longer time, is still waiting
for an opportunity. There may be dif-
ferences of character which present ob-
stacles; but with. the great competition
in New York the girl who makes herself
heard is the one who succeeds.
THE NEW “GOSPEL SCOUT.”
\Vith His Clever Slang He Induced
the Slangy Boy to G0 to
Church.
A small Cleveland boy has a dreadful
stock of slang at his tongue’s end, to
the great grief and humiliation of his
mother, says the Cleveland Plain Deal—
er. A good deal of this slang he learns
in the street and some of it he gets from
a wicked uncle. '
The other day, while out with his
sled. he had a bad tumble on the ice
and bruised his side quite se'verely. He
isn’t too big a boy to be petted by
mamma,. and he came hustling into the
house to get her help and comfort.
He bounced into the parlor, and there
sat a kindly-faced gentleman, with big
dark eyes and a curling beard, waiting
to see the boy’s mother.
This is the way the boy described
what followed;
“I knew who it was right away,
mamma, and I said to him: ‘Ain’t you
th’ new Gospel scout to our church?’
An' he kind 0’ smiled {111’ said: ‘You7ve
guessed it, my boy. I’m the new ser-
mon sharp at the brimstone shack
around the corner.’ Say, mamma, he
beats Uncle George clean out o’ sight.
Uncle George doesn’t know no slang
as good as that. Then he saw me
holdin’ my .side an’ he says: ‘What’s
th’ matter? Cracked a slat?’ An’ say,
mamma, he just unbuttoned my jacket
an’ rubbed the pain away, mos’ as
quick as you could, an’ I think he’s the
nicest man I ever kneyy, except papa,
of course, an’ I told him I’d be sure
to come to hear him preach next Sun-
day.”

‘ AMUSEMENTS
. The Real Widow Brown.
If there is any laughter in you, you
want to prepare to separate yourself
from it, for that it surely what will
happen when you attend the reception
to be held by The Real Widow Brown,
at Hoyt’s Theatre, on May 5. This la-
dy is an agreeable personage and fig-
ures as the leading character in one of
the best musical comedies bidding fer
public pltronage, and it has met with
prodigious success under the able'man-
agement of Mr. A. Q. Scammon, whose
trademark is a guaranty of the excel-
lenca of the attraction. This plot is
out of the beaten path, well planned
and coated with the purest of fun, and
affording ample scope for the introduc-
tion of bright songs, merry dances and
pleasing medleys. Surrounding “l‘he
Widow” is a company of recognized
dramatic and fun-making abilities. No
matter how many cares you have you’ll
positively forget them if. you see this
funny and thoroughly entertaining
play. '

Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,Ill.,
makes the statement, that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for a. month by her fam-
ily - physician, but grew worse. He
told her she was a hopeless victim of
consumption and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist suggest-
ed Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption; she bought a bottle and to
from first dose. She continued its use
and after taking six bottles, found her-
self somewhat well; now does her own
housework, and is as well as she ever
was. Free trialbottles of this Great
Discovery at. John A. Riggs’ drug

Gout is rarely known among the
