Leneve Qlrl la Acquitted.
Lonilun , Oct. 2f > . After n trlnl last
ing but n few hours In the Now Unlloy
criminal court todny , n Jury found Eth
el Clare Lonevo not utility as tin ac-
ossory after the fact In the murder
of Cora Hullo Crlppon , for whoso death
the lattor'H hiiHlmnil , Dr. Crlppon , will
lie on the gallows November 8.
AH upon the occasion of the pliyscl-
dan's tilal the couitroom WIIH crowd-
oil with inumhoi-H of the legal profos-
Hlon and tin many others us could so-
euro a place by right or liilluenco.
There was this difference In the aud
iences :
If Crlppen bad any wollwlahora they
1opt in the background while tbero
was a Hontlmunt of sympathy for the
Klrl wlio , for love of a man nearly
twice lier age , had sacrificed her repu
tation , deserted homo and fHondo and
remained true to him even when their
association made her liable as an ac
cessary to a brutal murder.
Miss Leiievo was capably represent
ed by counsel who took advantage of
every technicality of the law to pj-o-
tect their client.
According to the prosecution , Miss
Lioiiovo'tt relation to the crime as an
accessory began very soon after the
loath of Mrs. Crlppen. On the case
made out against the doctor , Mrs ,
Crlppen or Hello Klmore , aa she was
known on the stage , was murdered on
the morning of February 1 and her
dismembered body burled In the collar
of the Crlppen homo at It ! ) llllldrop
Crescent. Miss Lenove slept In the
Crlppen home on the night of the day
following.
As Miss Lenovo sat In the prisoner's
dock today she was a pathetic figure.
She Is 27 years old , medium built ,
light brown hair , grey eyes and excel
lent teeth.
A Prepossessing Woman.
Her face Is pretty and she Is trim.
She wears good clothes becomingly
and Is naturally buoyant and affable.
She Is a prepossessing woman.
She was attired In the same neat
1)1110 ) costume which she wore at. the
preliminary hearing in * the police
court. She entered the dock between
two wardresses and remained standIng -
Ing during the few minutes occupied
by the swearing In of the jury.
Miss Loncvo was an object for keen
Bcnitlny on the part of the women who
composed the majority of the specta
tors. On the reply to the formal
charge of being an accessory after the
fact to the murder of Belle Elmore ,
the girl pleaded "not guilty" in a
voice that was scarcely audible. Lord
Chief Justice Alvcrstono thereupon
called Richard D. Mulr , the crown
prosecutor , who outlined the case
against the accused.
It was clear , Mr. Mulr sam , unit the
4ntrigue between Dr. Crippen and Miss
Lonevo constituted the motive for the
murder of Crlppcn's wife. Ho dwelt
tipon the evidence given by Mrs. Jack
son , Miss Leneve's landlady , at the
preliminary hearing and which will bo
introduced at the trial.
Illness Due to Horror.
The Illness of the accused on the
night of the interview with Mrs. Jack-
won was not , the prosecutor said , an
ordinary illness , but a condition of
horror , the explanation of which was
the knowledge that had come to her
that Ciippen had murdered his wife.
MANY AFTER THIS TITLE NOW.
Death of Stanley Ketchel Is Bringing
Forth Several Aspirants.
New York , Oct. 25. The death of
Stanley Ketchel doubtless will be the
means of stirring up the middleweight
division in pugilism. There are quite
a number of middleweights In the
-country. Some are fairly good , others
are not finite so good , and still another
Rood sized bunch that might bo class
ed as "punk. " But that will make no
difference. All may be expected to
rush forth with their claims for the ti
tle held by the late champion. But
before anything definite is reached ,
quite a process of elimination will [
have to be gone through with In or ;
der to find the right man. The mid
dleweight division at the present time
is in a rather muddled condition. Bil
ly Fapke and Jack "Twin" Sullivan ap
pear to have the best claim to the
title. Both can do the weight , and
no doubt will rush their claims for all I
they are worth.
I'npke is at present in Australia
and is said to be under contract to
Hugh Mclntosh to engage In a certain
number of battles In that country. If
ho Is lucky enough to get back home
without being defeated , he will no ,
doubt Insist on standing at the head I
of the line.
I'apko fought Ketchel four times
for the title and won it decisively In
twelve rounds at Los Angeles two
years ago. Moreover , ho should have
scored a victory In their last battle
had he not shown the canary. Billy
Koche , who refereed the battle , has
since stated that Ketchel's victory on
that occasion was due entirely to the
fact that Papke quit. It was a twenty
round affair , and during the nineteenth
and twentieth rounds Kotchol was un
able to raise his hands , and yet all
Papke attempted to do was to clinch
and hold on.
"Had Papke mustered up sufficient
courage to deliver any sort of a blow
with either hand , in either of the last
two rounds , " said Referee Roche ,
"there is not the least doubt In my
mind but that ho would have scored
n knockout , as Ketchel was absolute
ly helpless. "
But , of course , this Is all ancient his
tory. The question now arises : "Who
is to be the rightful successor to Ket-
chol ? "
The lightweight division Is almost
In a similar predicament to that of
the heavier class. Of course , the pres
ent title holder Is not dead , as is the
case with the middleweight champion ,
but he might as well be , according to
reports , for all ho will over do again
In the ring. Wolgast'a arm Is report
ed to be in such a disabled condition
as to make it Impossible for him to
ever engage In another glove battle.
There are about as many lightweights -
weights claiming Wolgast'a title as
there are middleweight ) * proclaiming
themselves eligible to the one hold by
Ketchel. Battling Nelson , who lost
the title to Wolgast , Is again In the
harness , and Judging from the show
ing ho made at Kansas City the other
night against Monte Dale , will have
to be reckoned with. The Battler is
out for the championship and doesn't
draw the line against anyone who can
do the weight. If Wolgast Is really
Hit of the running , the Battler doesn't
scorn to have a very .hard task In front
: > f him to regain the title. In looking
aver the list of those who can make
the required weight at ringside , there
Isn't one who appears to have oven
i chance with Nelson In -in-round
battle , providing , of course , he regains
In a measure bis old form.
The Willie Lowls-Sallor Burke bout
at the National Sporting club Friday
night will bo the big event In aportdom
this week. Burke , according to Tom
O'Rourko , who visited him at Strat
ford Sunday , Is in line condition and
expects to win handily. Burke declares
that no one will have cause to criticise
him this time. "I'll bo right and will
win , " was Burkc's positive statement
to O'Rourke.
As for Willie Lewis , he'll be there ,
too , with the condition. "Kid" McCoy ,
his manager , goes out to Willle'a train
ing quarters every day and Is much
Impressed with the condition of his
man. "Lewis Is strong and fast , " said
McCoy to me yesterday , "and should
win by a knockout as lie did before. "
With both these men In good trim
the members of the National Sporting
club will be sure to witness a hurrl
cane battle.

Matrnu's Position.
Norfolk , Neb. , Oct. 24. Editor
Vows : In your report of the Flcharty
Meeting you make me aay that "It Is
lone of the farmer's business whether
Norfolk has saloons or not. " I made
10 such remark In my plea for the
right of Norfolk and other cities to
egulato their own affairs under our
iresent local option law. I am op-
(
) oscd to county option because I be-1 i
love in home rule for cities , which ! '
ve now have under the Slocumb law , I
ind I so stated my position at that
neeting. I believe the proper enforce-
nont of law in cities is everybody's
inslncss , Including farmers , but the
Ideation of having saloons or not
should not remain as it is now.
Yours truly ,
H. C. Matrau.

CLUBHOUSES _ RF ) [ EMPLOYEES
Prussian Railway Managers Introduce
l Conveniences For Trainmen ,
The railway authorities In Prussia
evidently mean to be up to date In the
matter of care for the comfort and
well being of their employees. Their
last movement in this direction Is to
1 provide clubhouses for employees who
end the day's sen-ice at a point dla-
' tant from their homes.
At certain points along the various
lines they have built two story houses
i with comfortable sleeping and eating
' rooms , where engineers , conductors ,
inspectors and section hands can pass
I the night and take supper or break
fast. The dormitories contain two ,
four and six beds , and there are acp-
I arate sleeping rooms for specially priv
ileged ollleluls.
Each railroad man actually employed
I on a train who has to pass the night
away from bis home la supplied at the
point of departure with a bedding out-
tit packed In a hnudy case. If he
wishes he can take provisions with
him. which he con have cooked or
warmed up at the sleeping station.
Some of the newly opened houses are
I supplied with a small library of books
' * r a few of the day's papers. No
charge is mode for the accommodation
or service.

GOD'S PARENTHESES.
Text , "Judas ( not Iscnrlot ) . " John xlv , 1
22.
In this matchless chapter of St. John ,
amid Its pearls of comfort and hope ,
there occurs this little parenthesis that
i wo skip over In our eagerness to feast
our eyes and hearts on the words of
our departing Saviour. The apostle ,
quoting Judas , takes pains to assure
us that the speaker was not the traitor.
Judas bad seven namesakes In the
Bible , and probably none of them rel
islied bis cognomen resemblance to the
betrayer. St. John realized that all
future readers would confuse the
speaker with Ills odious double , whose
name was to bo a hissing and a by
word , and so carefully adds , "Not Is
carlot ! " Good. A parenthesis of God
outweighs a paragraph of man. Wo
are careful to place dollars and cent *
In separate columns , but we confound
men. motives , errors and truths.
The Rarity of Charity.
Accuracy Is divine. .Mathematics
arose In the councils of ( Sod. To err
IH human and human alone. Occa
sionally It Is Inhuman. Voltaire. Paine.
P.iirns , Byron these have long stood
as convenient pegs to hang Illustra
tions that lack but one feature to be
forceful they arc not true. Phillips
JSrooks of beloved memory was care
ful to write "Not Iscarlot. " One
searches Ills sermons in vain to find j
a hasty Imputation or thoughtless at- { !
tack. We public speiikers sometimes I
have a trick of using Illustrations of a
,
color that an.r good student of history
knows will not wash. Labels are excellent - I I
cellent things , but they should bo properly - '
erly applied. When wo remember our j I
own leanings from the perpendicular !
j
we ought to be shy of calling every
Judas an Iscarlot. It Is a little con
fusing to think that some day the mag
nanimous sod will cover us all without
reproach. Among men of my craft
many a good "call" has been carefully
boxed. Its freight paid and the train
started with prayer , only to lie ( lagged
by a zealous brother who forgot the
parenthesis. "Not Ncarlot. " 1 do not
know where either of the Judas breth
ren may be. I leave that to those who
like to map the world above and that
beneath. I do know that God's ledger
is evenly ruled. No confusion there.
No auditing required. Judas , the true ,
has one page. Judas , the false , an
other. In our ardor we quickly gum
and afllx our little tags. We use the
terms "crank , " "eccentric. " "fanatic. "
"unbeliever. " but God's directory of
"Who's Who" remains the same. With
him every Judas Is not an Iscariot. I
am glad the higher critics allow this
little parenthesis to remain. It Is a
little gem of charity hidden amid the
exhaustlcss mine of God's word.
Drawing Inferences.
"Mose , " said the employer to his
colored teamster , "can yon draw an In
ference ? " " 'Deed , boss , dem mules
can tote any Inference you want If do
tugs hold out. " An ancient story , of
course. But Inferences and weakness
of harness go together In drawing In !
ferences one Is apt to forgot "not Is-
carlot. " An inference is defined as "a
probable conclusion toward which facts
point , but do not absolutely establish. "
When Hannah knelt praying In the
temple her lips moved , but her word *
were not audible. Ell , the prlost. in
ferred the godly woman was drunk
and so accused her. When Paul was
shipwrecked at Malta he helped gather
the sticks to make a fire. A deadly
viper fastened Itself on Paul's hand
The barbarians Immediately Inferred
that he was a bad man. "No doubt a
murderer. He escaped drowning , but
the viper is God's avenger on him for
his crimes. " When Paul didn't fall
dead from the viper's venom they
drew another Inference "be must be
a god. " When John came "neither
eating nor drinking" some Inferred he
had a devil. " When Christ came
doing both they inferred he was "a
glutton and a wine bibber. " Of John
Christ said. "None greater born among
women. " Of Christ God said. "This
Is my beloved Son. " "Not Iscarlot. "
Mrs. Jones' eyes look red as she de
scends the steps. Her neighbor "In
fers" that she has quarreled with her
husband. "Do you notice how often
our pastor goes to Brown's ? lie
knows on which side ills bread Is but
tered. " Go slow in your inferences.
You may later have to write with
shamed face , "Not Iscarlot. "
Your Neighbor's Name.
Wo owe it to our neighbor not to do
him au Injustice. A man's character
is one thing , bis reputation another
Ills character is what he is , his repu
tation is what you say he Is. Jesus
Christ had n good character , none bet
tor. He could say truthfully , "Satan
cometh and flndcth nothing in me. "
And yet his reputation during most of
his public life was bad , very bad.
Many men In public life have a good
character and a bad reputation. Wash
ington was such a one. So was Lin
coln. Want to make your blood boll ?
Just read the journals of their time.
Yon are anxious that "not Iscnrlot"
should follow your name. If your
morning's paper says a man In your
town was arrested for some crime , you
feel like writing n note to the editor
something like this :
Dear Sir Plense call the attention of
the public In your next Issue to the fact
that the John Smith who was arrested
yesterday for heating his wlfo wus an
other John Smith , not the one who lives
In my sticet and at my number. Respect
fully yours. JOHN SMITH.

WITCHCRAFT ENTHRALLS
PHILIPPINE ISLANDERS.
Tender Portion of Victims Appears to
Be the Neck.
That a firm belief In witchcraft per
sists In some parts of Pampanga prov
ince Is the purport of a communica
tion received In Manila from an Inves
tigator who has Investigated the
claims of Filipinos that they were be
ing aflllcted with various bodily Ills
by persons who are called Magcalums.
While the educated Inhabitants scorn
j at the belief , it was found to be wide
spread throughout the towns as well
as in the agricultural stctions far from
larpe centers of population. Extracts
from the communication follow :
"Tho belief Is an old one , probably
coexistent with the tribes. It Is not
' confined to one or two towns , but ex
ists to a preater or less degree In all ,
j though the Idea probably Is having a
greater hold upon the people of Lubao.
I Macabebe and Masantol than any of
the other municipalities.
| "The belief is that a person who has
this power can create illness in anoth
er , provided the other is a believer In
Magcnlums. A careful and extended
search bus failed to produce a single
Pninpangan who Impressed the Inves
tigator as being entirely free from the
Idea that people might have this pow
er. Many laugh at the mention of such ,
n power and in a general way say that
they do not consider It possible , yet
references to specific cases will usual
ly elicit the fact that they can ascribe
no other cause to certain effects.
"It would seem that the tender spot
of these near divinities Is the neck of
the intended victim , the Magcalums
causing an enlargement of that part
of the body
"Sometimes the Infliction Is related
to a specific event. For Instance , In
Arnyat a woman once told a prospec
tlve purchaser that she had no eggs ,
which the customer found out to be
false. L : tor It was said a chicken grew
Inside the stomach of the woman
"Another account Is of a Magcalum
who was bound and an attempt made
to burn hol. , In her face. The In
struments made no Impression upon
her. but the marks of burns appeared
upon the face of the woman who had
Instigated the maltreatment. "
ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS.
Making a living is such an easy
taak with aome men that they find
time to play dominoes.
Still , you don't have to fool all the
people all the time to make the ven
ture reasonably profitable.
If you want to avoid an argument
with the average farmer , always pre
dict higher prices for corn.
You are at a disadvantage If you
are crazy over your friends ; they are
probably not crazy over you.
