IS IT JUST?
Mrs. Aggie Meyer, a Kansas
' City woman, is under sentence
of death by hanging. The crime
of which she has been proved
guilty is' the murder of her hus
band. She was assisted in the
' crime by her paramour and the
details of the . affair was most
cold-blooded.
. As is usual in cases where a
woman is under sentence of death
there is considerable, hysteria in
evidence and, many really good
people preach of the community
disgrace attached to th e hang
ing of a woman. There is no
denying that it is an awful thing
to be compelled to take the life
of a woman for a crime that she
has committed it is equally aw
ful to inflict the . death sentence
on a man for a like crime. . " ,,.
There is a shrinking from pun
ishing a woman as one would a
man, and this feeling is domin
ant in the hearts of all'good men.
But one must be just and the
mind must not be swayed by sen
timent. ' A good man's instinct
is to shield woman, but he can
hot pass two- sets of laws pre
scribing punishment for the same
crime one for woman, the other
for man.
God knows it is a pity that wo
man in her high place in the
hearts of men should stoop to
cold-blooded and premeditated
. crime of any nature. It is like
wise deplorable that man, with
his more rugged nature, should
commit criminal acts, but the
punishment must remain the
same or there is no justice. It is
sad that it should be so, perhaps,
but it is just.
1HINK RIGHT.
All who have visi'ed the Lewis
and Clark Fair agree that it is
fine, that, it is a credit to, Port
land, t6 Oregon, in short, to the
entire West. That this is true
there is no doubt, but as to the
conditions after the Fair that is
different.
If the people of this state as a
whole are. to be benefitted by the
Fair they must take matters in
their own hands and in no weak
-or timid way. If they set de
termined that there shall be no
stagnation in conditions 'and bus
iness affairs as entail of: the Ex
position all will be well But if
they allow themselves to figure
on business depressioh,Isuch as is
likely to follow, as sentiment,
. healthy 'or ''unhealthy, cuts ho . in
considerable figure when backed
by the .whole people.
In many -affairs of a public na
ture stfccess depends upon the
way the public look at the mat
ter and the, fact remains . that.it
is ottenr a case oi . tnmising
makes it so." 'If such be true,
it behooves the people ta4hink
rio-Vir Triia is , nnr. nlwnvs r ip
case, bt there is no denying that
public s ntiment for or against
cuts a figure in affairs.
SCARCELY DARE.
Many people incline to the be
lief that Germany and France
will have ' a game of war before
the Morrocco 'question is settled
There is a s trong war feeling
in France; but there really is no
promise of war at present.
That the .French people would
embrace death for the glory of
wresting from Germany the prov
inces of Alsace and Loraine there
is no question. But just at present
France dares nut attempt a trial,
' although sorely tempted. Rus
sia is an ally of France arid the
feebleness of Russia is so appar
ent, Germany does not hesitate
to take advantage of conditions.
; France never has and never
will forgive Germany for taking
from, her Alsace and Loraine, and
tKefdream of every loyal French
mis' to retake those provinces
But the , cool heads of France
know that the Tvrpspnr. ? nnr. r Iia

to some extent, so far as the Mor
rocco incident is concerned, in the
hands of her friends and her
enemies.
Mrs. Eddy's Home.
Mrs. E. W. S. Pratt, of this
city, has requested that we pub
lish an excerpt from the Boston
Herald on Mrs. Eddy, the found
er of Christian Science, and the
following:, relating to her home
was submitted:
Among these was the gold
scroll on which was inscribed the
invitation from theMother Church
in Boston for Mrs. Eddy to visit
and accept the edifice as a testir
monial from the loving hands of
4000 members. This scroll rests
in a case upon a table which is
covered bva silk embroidered cov
er brought from Pekin by Mrs.
Conger, wife of the former minis
ter to China, who, as is well known,
is a devout Christian Scientist,
and practised her faith among the
frightened prisoners at the siege
of Pekin during the uprising ,of
the Boxers.
Under this table is a large rug
of ostrich tips sent from South
America. On another table lies
a copy of "Bohemia" dane in
white vellum, beautifully printed
and illuminated, being the sec
ond impress of an imperial edi
tion of 50 copies of this, work,
this number being especially
printed for Mrs. Eddv. There is
a large tapestiy painting on one
of the walls, of Jesus as the Good
Sheperd, with the inscription,
"His banner over me is love."
Another painting ' which is par
ticularly prized by Mrs. Eddy,
having been given her by a stu
dent, is "The Anger of the
Resurrection."
On the table in the back parlor
lie the two silver trowels which
were used in laying the. corner
stones of the churches of Con
cord and Boston. The trowel
used for the Concord church was
given Mrs. Eddy "by .Lady Vic
toria Murray, daughter of Lord
Dunmore. .
In the library is a loving cno
presented by the executive mem
bers of ' the Boston Church.
This is a beautifully embossed
silver .urn, in the rim of which '
are set 12 large pearls." There
are also some miniatures in this
room of great value and beauty.
There are portraits of Kins Ed
ward and Queen Alexandria of
England, and paintings of "The
Medonna and Child," and "The
Holy Family, "done by a pupil
of Raphael, and presented to Mrs.
Eddy by Lord - Adinger. ' His
crest is on the back of the frames,
and under this is written, "From
Abingeran admirer, to the Rev.
Mary Baker Eddy." - . ; t
v On the wall bangs-a Persian
rug which was wrought for an
empress, and which is valued at
$5000; but .no.., one couid. quite
tell its history. ,-,The 1 us - was
woven by hand, and required r8
vears in the making. '" There was-
an old Bible in this room printed
in 1551. and a quaint
old clock
which seemed to have a history
i hid away -somewhere. There is
also ,a beautiful old clock in the
hall, whose slver chimes ring out
I seated by her church, its
kind there are but few in exisf-
I ence.

' Eight months ago I was so ill
that I 'was compelled to lie or sit :
:dowii nearly all the time. My
' stomach was so weak and npset
that I could keep nothing on it
and I vomited frequently. I
could not urinate without great -pain
and I coughed so much that
my throat and lungs were raw
and . sore. The doctors pro-
nounced it Bright's disease and
others said it was consumption.
It mattered little to me what
s they called it and I had no de
sire.to live. A sister visited me
from St. Louis and asked me if
I had ever tried Wine of Cardui.
-1 told her I had not and she
bought a bottle. I believe that
it saved nay life. I believe many
women could save much suffer
ing if they but knew of its value.
