"Let the Women Keep Silent."
When St Paul declared that it was a
shame for women to speak in the church,
he little thought that enlightened chris
tian women would for years be debarred
thereby from taking their places in the
pnlpit Yet strange as it may seem,
that very utterance has been a great
stumbling block in the way of woman's
progress. Could the good saint once
hear this utterance of his aired by some
opponent of equal suffrage, he would, no
doubt hold up his hands in holy horror,
and at once set about righting himself
before the world. His first step in that
direction would probably be to refer his
hearers to a Greek lexicon. Therein they
would discover that the word translated
"speak" meant, in the original, "to chat
ter like monkeys, to twitter like birds."
Having fixed this in their minds, St Paul
would then explain that, in his time, the
Greek women were in the habit of going
to the synagogues and there keeping up
a constant chatter; sometimes breaking
in upon the discourse with innumerable
and irrevelant questions. Small wonder
that he at last became so exasperated
that he requested them not to "chatter
like monkeys"; almost any publio speak
er of today would do the same under the
circumstances. So St Paul was not so
much to blame after all, if we consider
his words in the light of the foregoing
explanation.
And with this bit of scripture, so it is
with many others, which at first seem to
bar the pathway of woman's progress.
Seen in the shadow, they appear like
huge monsters from which there is no
escape, but once turn on the searchlight
of truth and reason and they quickly
vanish into their native nothingness.

According to the estimate of the post
master general, says the Omaha Bee,
31,000,000 of the 76,000,000 people in the
United States now have the benefit of
free delivery of mail. The rapid devel
opment of the rural mail delivery system
promises in a few years to place half the
population of the country in a position
to enjoy these privileges. Such a record
would not be considered anything unu
sual in the older and more thickly popu
lated countries of the world, but is cer
tainly a great achievement in view of the
great expanse of territory over which the
population of the United States is spread.
What is more remarkable is the fact that
with most moderate rates of postage the
postal department is almost self-sustaining.
There is no department of the gov
ernment which comes into so close rela
tione with the people as this one and
none from which they are so constantly
and persistently demanding still more
and better service or which has so rapidly
responded to the demand.

The Kansas City Star of the 15th gives
details of the desth of Mrs. Ayers, for
merly of this city, in the following:
Mrs. Annette Avers, s woman about
fifty years old, who came from Msroeline,
Mo., was found unconscious in her room
at the New Albany hotel at 6 o'clock
Thursday evening. She wss suffering
from the combined effects of a dose of
laudanum and two self-inflicted knife
wounds, apparently inflicted before her
arrival at the hotel Wednesdsy evening.
Dr. Manahan, assistant polios surgeon.
wss summoned and the woman was re
moved to the city hospital where she
died at 11:45 o'clock Thursday night
A telegram for Marceline says that
Mrs. Ayers had been in a hospital the
greater part 'of the year at her home in
Columbus, Neb. Recently she had been
visiting her parents at Brookneld, Mb.
Wednesday she went to Marceline to
visit her daughter, Mrs. J. T. Hier.
Upon her arrival at that place Wednes
day morning she was in a helpless con
dition. Despite the protests of her rel
atives she insisted on leaving Marceline
Wednesday, saying she intended to join
her husband, who is a railroad man
working in California. The dead woman
is a sister of Mrs. F. B. Tayler, wife of a
wealthy farmer living near Marceline.
There is scarcely any doubt that the
woman was insane and that her mental
condition was the result of continued
sickness. But her case is almost with
out a parallel in the annals of Kansas
City. ShemuBt have suffered frightful
agony before death finally cam'e to her
relief.
WAS DETERMINED TO DIE.
Dr. Manahan's examination was thor
ough and developed that the wound in
the throat, a deep narrow cut had par
tially severed the windpipe, making
breathing difficult and speech impossi
ble. Mrs. Ayers appeared st the New
Albany hotel Wednesday evening short
ly after the arrival of the Santa Fe train
from Marceline. She either pretended
to be or was deaf and dumb and had
written the train conductor a note ask
ing him to direct her to a quiet hotel.
On the bottom of the sheet the conduc
tor had written a line directing her to
the New Albany hotel.
Mrs. Ayers indicated to the hotel clerk
that she could not talk and wrote a note
saying that she was going to Bakers
field, Cat, and also informed a Santa
Fe agent of her intention to go to Cal
ifornia. Mrs. Ayers wss assigned to a
room. She did not go to the dining
room for breakfast yesterday morning
and when the ticket agent called later
she pushed a note under the door in
forming him that she wss too ill to
travel and would not go west. At noon
yesterday the door wss found to be open,
but Mrs. Ayers was apparently sleeping
quietly and she was not disturbed. But
when she did not come down for supper
the hotel attendants became alarmed
and opening the closed door found the
woman unconscious. A two-ounce bot
tle that had contained laudanum was
near the bed. It had been purchased in
a drug store in Marceline. Then the
doctor was summoned.
The purpose to .commit suicide was
startlingly apparent The wounds in
her throat and abdomen were from forty
to sixty hours old. It wss only by hold
ing her head forward that she could
breathe because of the wound in her
throat It wss a marvelous exhibition of
stoicism this woman from Marceline dis
played. With two gaping wounds in her
body she did not call a doctor. But she
went to her room in the hotel where,
alone and uninterrupted, she completed
her preparations for death. She had food
in her satchel and would allow no one to
enter the room. The talk with the rail
road agent wss probably to divert sus
picion from her avowed purpose to dee
troy herself.
A marginal note stated thst she had
$65 in money in her skirt pocket. Still
another note read: "I tried to murder
myself before I left mamma."
The note to the train conductor read:
"Please assign me to a hotel that is not
noisy if you can, as I need rest"
Within the envelope addressed to Mrs.
Hier wss the following note: "I went up
stairs when -Gray went to dress. He
stepped to my door and said to me you
had better kill yourself or leave the state.
I tried to kill myself with a butcher
knife, and could not, so I left the state
to die. Gray said best to let me (here
illegible words.) Gray said Frank Tay
lor talked this over and they thought it
was best My mind is ss strong as ever
it was. Do not think me insane."
From letters in her possession it is
evident thst her household goods are
stored in Columbus, Nebraska, with a
Mrs. John Dietrich. There waa evidence
that she had purchased the laudanum
from N. L. Bolles, a druggist in Mar
celine. Dr. Wheeler, coroner, was not notified
of the death of Mrs. Ayers until Fridsy
morning. He directed that the body be
removed from the aty hospital to Carroll-Davidson
undertaking rooms. An
inquest will probably be held. Messages
were sent to Msroeline, Mow to saoertain
what her relatives wished done with ths
body. They telegraphed that they would
be here.
