FRIDAY. JULY. III. 1000.
THE WAGES OF SIN.
On a scaffold In the Jail yard this
iiiumlng Andrew L. Davenport will
pay the penally for a heinous crime.
With an almost fiendish deliberation
ho planned the details of a murder
Irom which oven the most hardened
criminal should have turned with a
shudder. The plan was carried out.
furnishing to the world u type of cal?
lous brutality almost Inconceivable.
Rucaiiso the law demands a life
for a life lie today pays the penalty
of that crime. There are one or two
lessons which may profitably be con?
ned w'hllo the lifeless body of Dav?
enport dangles from the end of the
rope. One Is that the highway to
quick ami sure gain Is not. a prim?
rose path of virtue and of inspiring
thoughts. Another Is that "honesty
Is tho best policy," to say nothing
of the. moral status of Uie Issues In?
volved. Murder does not always out,
notwithstanding the old saying t:>
tho contrary, but there Is within
nwai a monitor which coaslessly dogs
his footsteps, no matter how Iguoi
nut his fellow-men may be of his
crimes, his -hypocrisies ami his de?
ceits. Suppose Davenport';) well-laid
plan had gone through without a
hitch, rs It to bo supposed that the
blood-stained money would have
soothed the seared conscience of the
murderer? In fact, we bcllovo that
in the miscarriage of the plan 1n tho
short, sharp lesson of death he had
leas ppniahment Mian he would have
. received, walking up and down the
earth with the brand of Cain lu his
forehead?only to learn In the end
the bitter truth, "Tho wages of sin
U depth."
?Mlany murders have been commit'
? ted in Newport News, hut this is the
first time In, the memory of the pres?
ent generation bhat the outraged law
has been fully vindicated. Might not
the citizens of the city learn a ios
?aon from the grim Incident? ir It
had boon thoroughly understood that
murder meant detection and that de
" faction meant hanging Is It difficult
to imagine that Willie Thomas
might bo alive today? Those with
criminal propensities as well as the
law-abiding setters. Judge a city by
the manner lu which the laws are
enforced, and when murder becomes
a safe pastime In any community,
those who Indulge In that form of
amusement are little more gullly
than the smug, self-satisfied com
tniinlty which stands for that sort of
thing.
"RAGE OF EXPECTORATION."
In a suggestive article under tho I
foregoing head, the Pilgrim touches
upon one of the must vicious habits |
of th.e American people and one
which is sadly In need of reforming.
Our contemporary says:
"If is to be hoped that when slav?
ery in all its manifold forms of I
child-labor and sweat-shops lias beeji |
dilven from our midst; when the
questjon of woman's suffrage has I
been satisfactorily adjusted; when|
the tariff question shall no tnoro
trouble the perplexed voter; then?
ah then!?we hope the men and wo
nien of a civilized nation (supposed?
ly), will band thenuelves together in
a . vigorous and effectual organiza?
tion for a salivary reform. Emer
eon once characterized a habit
'.?wtilqh . has become disgraceful
' pcbmtnent. in American streets, as
.'the rage of expectoration,' and de?
clared that aa men 'we deser*? to
\>f, while that habit clings to us, ?n
ftbnoipinattou to- angels and women
:&$Mw?f2Ste&^^ ''J' ':
and to tlio majority ot descent men
In other countries as well bb our
own fellow-citizen.'
"Comment Is unnecessary, signs
by health boards, erected on street
corners and placed in public build?
ings and pubTlc conveyances, are fu?
tile as long as the offender knows
full well Unit no penalty follows tho
offense. And until a self-respecting
public assorts Its own senso of de?
cency and demands Justice, every
woman of culture must he subject
to an annoyance Indescribable every
time she walks the streets or rides
In tho electric cars of our American
cities. And Americana have no
right to call themselves freemen un?
til they rid themaolvcs of this nefar
1 Ions habit or confine It within the
['hounds <>f common desconcy and or?
der."
There Is no lack <>f laws bearing;
on the subject, but there does seem
to bo a lack of enforcement. In our
own city there Is an nidlnnuc.c pro?
hibiting spitting on Din sidewalks
and In public buildings, It seems to
be more honored In the breach thnu
h< the observance however, and we
do not recall a single Instance in
which an nrre.d has been inudn for
violation of Ihn ordinance slneo Its
passage. IL.may be thai no member
of the police force has over Mcon the
law violated, but II Is n fact that the
streets are almost as filthy from ex
pcctorlatlons now as In tin; old days
before the law wns passed.
Such mailers are difficult (o regu?
late and reform by law. An effort
|.should bo made to teach children
the Hit Illness and the danger of the
habit of wholesale spitting. Then,
with a little assistance' from the po?
lice In the matter oT punishing per?
sistent and out breaking violators of
n sanitary regulation (lie reform
might be accomplished.
CALLS VENGEANCE DOWN.
Street Preacher, Asking License,]
Threatens Ashbury Park Council.
ASMimUY, PAUK, .Inly 12?"Col
will surely deal with you as of old.
when Sodom and doilierrah were de?
stroyed," was the warning received
las night by the Common Council In
a communication from Gustav Aug
erstellt asking asking for a permit to|
preach In tho streets.
"This message," the writer con-|
tinned, "Is n last warning from Qotl
lo you through me, tint! should you
disregard It. you can only blaiuo your?
self If Cod destroys you."
The eouncllmon, despite the warn-1
lug. refused Angersloln's request.
"IT SAVED MY LIFE"
PRAISE FOR * FAMOUS MEDICINE
Mrs. WMadsen Tells How 8he Tried Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Jost
In Time. _
Mrs. T. C. WUlodsen, of Manning,
Towa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
Dour Mrs. Pinkham :?
" I can truly say that you have saved mr I
life, mid I cannot express my gratitude to ]
you in words,
*'Before I wrote to you, tolling you how I
felt, I bad doctored for over two years steady
nnd spent lota of money on medicines besides,
hut it nil failed to belp me. My monthly pe?
riods bnd censed nnd I suffered much pnin,
with fumtbig spells, headache, backache nnd
l>earlng-<iowu pains, ami I wna so weak 1
could Yiardly,keep nrouud. As a last resort
I decided to write you nnd try I.ydin R. Pink
hnin'B Vegetable 'Compound, and I nm so
thankful that I did, for after following your
instructions, which you sent ine free of nil
charge, I became regulnr and in perfect
health. Had 11 not been for you I would bo
in my gruvo to-dny.
" I sincerely trust that this letter may lend
every suffering woman in the country to
write you for help as I did."
When women are troubled with Ir?
regular or painful periods, weakness,
displacemcntor ulceration of an organ,
that bearing-down feeling, inflamma?
tion, backache, flatulence, general de?
bility, indigestion or nervous prostra?
tion, they should remember there Is
one tried ami true remedy. I.ydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at oscc
removes such troubles.
No other f emnlcmedloine In the world
has received such widespread and nn
qualified endorsement. Refuse all sub?
stitutes.
For 25 years Mrs. Pinkham, daughter
In-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, has under
her direction, and since'her decease,
been advising sick women fr?e of
charge. Address, Lynn, Mass.
