The Fulton County News McConnellsburg, Pi. WOMAN'8 ABILITY. The late Premier Stolypln's recog Dltlon of the cupaclty of women for public business took a very practical form, which Is pleasing to the women of Russia In general as well as tc tbe strong-minded Dowager Empress A. Is displeasing to men who are can didates for official honor, as It makes women In certain cases their success ful rivals. It Is true that by an amendment ordered aftor the original promulgation of tho order only one In five of the civil service staff can be a woman; nor ran a woman rise higher than the seventh of the twelve ranks In tho service, says the Milwaukee pvenlng Wisconsin. So men will con ttnue to monopolize the coveted title "High Excellency," and the chance, that a woman will be a cabl let minis ter Is very remote One roteworthy feature Is that women receive tie fame pny as men In positions of equal rating. Women officials are to receive full pensions, even If they marry bo fore leaving the service, and theti children will get the same pensions as If they had fathers In the service When both pnrents serve, they wlli get almost double xnslons. In ali cases, the women are to have thd same salaries, lodging and traveling expenses as tho men. This latter feature of the Stolypln system Is the one that Is likely to make the deepest Impression on the women school teachers of the I'nlted States. Alfred Tennyson Dickens from fai away Australia plunges Boston fem Jalnlty Into gloom by observing that In respect to ankles "the beefy sort greatly outnumber those graceful ap pendnges that linger so much longer In man's memory," says the Boston Globe This Is one of the effects ol the recent rainy wenther. and Is not to be taken too seriously. Uesldes, so far as our observation goes, tbe crltl clsm is grossly exaggerated, not to say unfounded. Mr. Dickens must have poor vlBlon or perhaps he spent all his time In the shopping district where, to be frank, the display of an kles Is very prosaic. Our women who are strl-lng to bo beautiful of course will feel downcast over the unartlstlc picture that Mr Dickens frames. Our ladles are accustomed to reduce their weight or Increase tholr avoirdupois, as tbe case may be. to become more Venuslike, but nobody yet has ever ad vertlsed an ankle-reducing emporium nor does It seem possible that such an establishment could operate to adv.m tage. Probably this Dickens man. a perfect Shylock on fashion, would sug gest that a pound of flesh be taken from each ankle, so that it might lin ger longer In his memory. The thing about Paris that seems to have most impressed our great fel low American. Edison. Is that the CI amps Elysees Is a twilight lane In the country compaied writh the great white way in little old New York. It is to be presumed that this Is the fault of Paris' age Being somo thou sand years tf.e senior of Manhattan she is rather averse to casting too much Illumination on her features tbe same feeling has b?en known by a part of humanity, It Is said. It takes Irrepressible youth to stand the daz rle of Broadway But If Paris doesn't burn so many electric lights, it Was charms that Gotham cannot match. When she learned that her husband had fallen heir to $1,000,000 a woman who had gone to Reno for the purpose of securing a divorce decided to with draw her application. Now If she can convince the gentleman that she lovei him for himself alone all will be well Jamaica has a new banana disease With modern methods of tracing the origin and communication of dlscnse it should be easy to bundle it. If tbe banana tree were a slow grower, the outlook for this Jamaica lr.dustr would bo worse. A hlstorlr.n declares that the "early Christian fallnrs protest! ngalnst the wearing of false hair." But at usual, under such circumstances, th;y fail ed to say anything about padded shoulders. A Gotham minister says that bnppl ness la the best cosinotic. This Is a valuable hint to husbands who dislike tbelr wives to wear artificial complex ions. Only In essentials does the spiral glide performed by an aviator differ from that of the bibulous clubman re turning home late. They tell ub that this Is a busy world, but one gains a different im pression by watching a crowd around a scoreboard. Mr. Edison's remark that aviation needs telcntific revision should give the aviators pause. How strange it ts that some para grapher has not tal'en tt upon himself to call alimony the grass . widow's mite. Experts tell us ti'nt the high cost ol living makes people eat less and llv longer. Let s ail stop eating and live forever. Boston now has the blteless mos quito to Increase its great and growing fame. SLAUGH I IT Missionaries Tell of Horrors of Chinese Massacres.

HITS AT MOBS AND COURTS Colonel Roosevelt Attacks Lynch Ings In Unmeasured Terms. New York. Declaring that legal delays often result in exhibitions of lynch law and demanding that crim inal assault upon women be made a capital crime for which there must be nn immediate trial, Theodore Roosevelt, in the Outlook, attacked lynching In unmeasured terms. "The repeated race riots and lynch ings thut have occurred in the North ern States during the last decade must have convinced the least observant that neither race feeling nor the tend ency to lynching is in a sense peculiar to the South. It is a horrible thing for which the whole country must bear responsibility. Lesser Of Two Evils. "But mere denunciation of the crime of a mob nmuunts to little or nothing. We must recognize what the facts are that excite the mob to act. Dreadful though It is for the mob spirit to be roused In a community by such a crime, It would bo an even worse calamity If the community did not feel the fury of indignation which produces the mob spirit. Courts Largely To Blame. There is no question that there are serious breakdowns in the adminis tration of justice in America. Slow ness in deciding coses, readiness to admit appeals, the subordination of justice to legal technicalities, the Ir ritating deluys in getting tho machine of the law into motion and the utter ly Improper attention paid by the courts to the sharpness of lawyers in Invoking technicalities nil of these result in frequent miscarriages of jus tice and in delays which, if long enough, amount, especially in thoir effect upon tho public, to un absolute miscarriage of justice." Federal Officials and Recall. Washlneton. . Federal oliiclals should not be invested with the power of the recall by their right to dismiss accounting ofilccrs who pass upon their expenditures of public money, ac cording to R. J.

He expressed the belief that the accounting ofiicers should be directly responsible to Congress alone for their official actions. Making Gold Easy. Chicago.

FOR MURDER OF HIS WIFE Was Attended By Spiritual Advisers Last Chapter of the Revolting Midnight Crime on the Mid lothian Turnpike. The Confession Given. I, Henry Clay Beattle, Jr., tie sirous of standing right before God and man, do on this, the 2,'id day of November, 11(11, confess my guilt of the crime charged against me. Much that was published con cerning the details wus not true, but the awful fact, without the harrowing c.'.cumstancea, re mains. For this nctlon I nm truly sorry, and, believing that I nm at peace with God, and am soon to pass into His presence, this statement Is made. Facts About Case. July 18, 1011 Mrs. Henry Clay Beat tie, Jr., murdered. July 21, 1911 Henry Cluy Beat tie, Jr., arrested. August 21, 1911 Trial begun at Chesterfield Courthouse. September 8, 1911 Verdict of guilty; Beattie sentenced to death. November 21, 1911 Death sen tence executed. Richmond. Va. Henry Clay Beattle Friday morning paid in the electric chair the death penalty for the mur der of his wife. The electrocution, -In accordance with the rigid law of Virginia, v.os shrouded in secrecy, only the officials and State's witnesses being admitted to the death chamber. Every effort was made by the au thorities to keep for a time the details of the execution from becoming pub lic, but within a few minutes of tho time that Beuttie breathed bis last the word was passed among the throng outside the penitentiary walls that it was all over. Long before tho hour set for the execution crowds begnn to assemble, eager to hear the least word of what was taking place within the cold grim prison-house where Virginia puts to death her murderers. There appeared to be nn undercur lent of hysteria. In the throng, and not a few appeared to expect up to the last moment that something would intervene to save the prisoner from the death chair. For the prisoner there appeared to be very little sym pathy, as the brutality of his crime was such ns to leave him, save for his family, almost without friends. Every person who entered the peni tentiary was carefully scrutinized by those outside, and wtien one was recognized his identity was passed from one to another through 0e crowd. Ilenttie's splrituul advisers were known to be w ith him long before the execution, and that, they accompanied him to the death chamber. Virginia law does not permit the presence of newspaper reporters when the death penalty is Imposed, or the publication by Virginia newspapers of the gruesome details of electrocutions. But Instead of stilling, this fact seemed to whet only the more the curiosity of the peoplo of Richmond, to whom Reattie's execution was al most the sole topic of conversation for days. The crowd outside was orderly, am', generally speaking, n silent one. And when the information was had that Beattle had died under tho electric current, there was virtually no demon stration, grim visaged men in tho main contenting themselves by walk ing silently away. .
