Painter Of "The Roth" Offers Treas
ure On Itcmnnd.
I'ittiburg (Special). McKeesport
has a very unusual and mysterious
series of cases which are baffling
the police department. The art stu
dio of H. j. Ward, artist of that
city, was robbed a few days ago of
$8,000 worth of paintings. A few
days later, in broad daylight, two
trango men called at the house rep
resenting themselves as book agents
and asked for a rope to tie some
books together, but Instead tried to
tie Mrs. Ward, Who Was alone in tho
house, so that they apparently could
rob the place.
A strnni man since has called
at the house while her husbnnd watt
out, and told Mrs. Ward ho would
kidnap her only son If she did not
give up a picture railed "The Bath."
Mr. and Mrs. Ward are terribly
worrlod and fear harm. Mr. Ward
now announces he Is willing to give
up the painting to the thieves If they
will only let hlra and his wife and
son alone.

Reading (Special). "This thing
is all wrong. I read In the pars
only the other day that President
elect Taft said all the courts were
a little loose," declared Frederick
Snyder before Judge Bland in the

Newton M. Snyder, of Boyertown.
The latter had been arrested on a
capias to answer a charge of con
tempt In not having complied with
a former order to pay 50 entrusted
to him in the estate of Abigail Mas
aer, hla defense being tli.it he had
performed work for it.
Judg Bland Interrupted tho fath
er with the remark that Mr. Taft had
nothing to do with this case. But
that the opinion of the President
elect would probably be that Snyder
must produce or go to jail, which
the court made as an order.
Snyder was saved from Jail by a
friend.

Drain.
Lancaster (Special). Israel B.
Beebler and his sister, Maria, resi
dents of West Earl Township, aged
between 50 and CO years, have been
arrested on the charge of cruelty to
animals, the specific allegation being
that they starved to death a horse,

drain on the public road along the
Delbler property. The farmer Immedi
ately closed It, and after this perform
ance was repeated several times, the
supervisors brought suit and Delbler
was fined $10, which he refused to
pay. Execution was Issued agaltiBt
htm and the sheriff will sell hlB farm
to satisfy the $10 execution.
Delbler said the water turned on
his farm by the drain opened by th
supervisors was poisonous to his
stock, and as they would die any way
they might JuBt as well perish from
starvation.

New York City. In a remarkable
edltorjnl The World writes as follows
about a quiet revolution that Is be
ing wrought by the women of the
United States:
A REVOLUTION.
Here are these three matters of
fact: The spread of the suffragist
movement despite the laughter of a
world of men; the general Invasion
of Industrial fields by women; wives
outnumbering hiiBbands two to one
as plaintiffs In the $46,(100 divorce
cases of the last twenty years in the
United States.
It Is customary to treat separately
the throe Issues thus presented. They
are all manifestations of one general
movement a Re-volution of Women,
due chiefly to the new industrial re
gime under which a woman can do
a man's work nnd earn what was a
man's wage hardly a generation ago.
Woman is no longer afraid ot free
dom. She can make, her own way,
Splnsterhood has ceased to bo Inevi
tably a burden. Marriage when it
becomes a disaster or a despotism
need no longer he home aB the pen
alty of dependency. In her new spirit
of Independence woman may turn
naturally enough to politics, though
the snffragist movement In the United
States is tints far least important
among feminist agitations.
Other revolutions have changed
mafis, dynusties and governments.
A Woman's Revolution may greatly
affect the destinies tT the whole race.
An Issue Is presenting Itself which no
prudent utatesmanship can safely un
derestimate or ignore.
WOMEN LED REVOLUTION IN TURKEY.
Now York City. The Rev. Charles
E. Jefferson, pastor of the Broadway
Tabernacle, recently returned from
Turkey, where he was at the time the
Bultan's declaration of the new con
stitution was announced, spoke be
fore the Buptist Ministers' Confer
ence, in the Madison Avenue Baptist
Church Hall, on the "New Regime"
In Turkey.
He described the Sultan going to
church with ills thirty wives and said
the Sultan painted his cheeks and
dyed his hair. No monarch In the
world, he said, had such a gang of
scoundrels and thieves around him
as had the Sultan of Turkey .before
the next constitution went Into effect.
Since that lime the 26,000 antes had
been dismissed, the police had been
deprived of their grafting methods
and that, every one vas happy under
the new order, so much so, that even
the cab drivers accepted a small fare
without protest, but -with smile.
Forty Turkish women, the preach
er snld, had been most Instrumental
in carrying on the revolution in Tur
key, carrying dispatches to all pointR
of tho empire rn behalf of the pa
triots. These women had been joined
by thousands of otherB since the con
stitution had gone into effect, and
were establishing women's clubs, and
that the era of new womanhood In
Turkey had apparently dawned.

secondly, by the prevalence of di

is the duty of the Christian Church to
speak out. There has been a decline
in the birth rate In every Western
country, most marked In the EngliBh
