Boston Transcript. . , We have heard a great deal lately -if suffragist and antl-suffragists, of voting "yes ' and voting "no." or of not voting at all (for the purpose of expressing a "no") on the question of municipal suffrage for women; but very little has been said of the large number of women who cannot fairly be- counted as belonging to either sl.le. These-women, who have said nothing and done nothing-and belong nowhere, are, perhaps, as numerous as the women of definite opinions, and it U in the nature of things that they ?hmild become an important factor in settling tho vexed Ques-, tlon an their minds become stimulated into greater activity by the repeated asking of the old question. At least, their mere existence disposes of the anti-suffrare claim that al! women not voting "yea" have meant to express "no." A bright young believer in the political dutlex of womankind has been making a Ptudy of these silent women In a small New England town. She divides them into the dormant, the dumb anl the defiant and she reports the following conversations with three ladles who severally represent their. several clfssen: i!.1! lrs' A" are ou KoInflT to vote with the rest of the women?"

ISFIED WITH THE VERDICT. He filTen Many Reasons for Another Hearing Double Murder nud .Suicide- In Texas. rillLADELPIIIA, Nov. 13. II. II. Holmes, 4he alleged multi-murderer, who was recently convicted of the murder of U. P. Pietzel, to-day, through his counsel, tiled reasons for a new trial. The grounds laid, which will bo argued next Monday, are mainly: That the verdict was against tho law and the evidence; new matter discovered since the trial; for the reason that the district attorney, in .his opening tpeeeh, .made statements which related . to other crimes which could not be part of the evidence, and they were of such a terrible 'nature 'that their effect on the jury was so adverse to the defendant that it was impossible for them to decide purely on the evidence in this case; for the reason that the district attorney, in his closing speech, mentioned the death of the children and the finding of their dead bodies in the morgue. The court erred in allowing Mrs. Pietzel to testify or state what her husband had told her; in not allowing Mrs. Pietzel to testify of her own knowledge to the doings and troubles of her husband in Terre Haute, Ind.; in allowing the testimony of Mrs Pietzol relating to 'the bottle of nitroglycerin; in ruling that tho defendant's wife was a competent witness; allowing evidence of the whereabouts of the children and finding their bodies in Toronto; in permitting Jurors to enter the box on their statement they had formed and expressed an opinion regarding the guilt or Innocence of defendant: in charging the Jury by giving undue prominence to the evidence favorable to the commonwealth and not sufficient prominence to the evidence favorVble tu the prisoner. DO I DLE MURDER ANDy SUICIDE. V William Knnti Kills . a, "Woman and Daaghtcr and. Later Himself. LAREDO, Tex., Nov., 13. Last Monday a man, accompanied by a middle-aged woman and an eight-year-old girl, registered at the Hamilton Hotel as C. Schuler and family, of San .Antonio, In conversation the woman had stated that she and her husband were from St. Louis and more recently from Fort Worth.- where her son kept a hotel. Her husband had a position in view, she said, with a railway company in, Monterey, and they were to leave for that city Tuesday afternoon. About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the man procured a horse and buggy, ostensibly to drive his wife and child to the depot. About 4:C0 he returned the buggy and proceeded to the hotel, ate supper and retired to his room. Very early this morning a Mexican shepherd discovered two- bodies lying in some brush about three' miles northeast of the city. He immediately notified the city ofliclals, who brought. the remains to the morgue. They were Identified as having been seen with the so-called Schuler. The chief of police Immediately called at the Hotel Hamilton, where he had registered. Tho proprietor, Mr. Christen, called to him over the transom and immediately received a response. He was asked where his wife and child were and waa told thatMf. Christen desired to see him. He replied that he would come to the door very shortly, but after some delay a pistol shot was heard. - It was some time before the police could enter the room. The man was found lying dead on the bed, with a bullet in his heart. Under his pillow was found an insurance policy for $3,000-In his own favor and a deed of trust executed for property in East St. Louis. Several letters wero found in trunks from various persons, some addressed to William Kuntz, Ft. Louis and Fort Worth, and several others to Mrs. Caroline Mann, East St. Louis and Dallas. Over $1,600 in $100 bills was found on the man's person: also two watches and a charm, with "Kuntz" engraved on it. From papers found it seems that his home was at St. Louis. Large photographs of tho man who committed the murder, of the beautiful little girl and another woman, perhaps twenty-eight or thirty years of age were found in his room. One letter addressed "Willie." written in German, evidently came from Hoboken, N. J.. or Kingston. N. Y. Underclothing was found marked "Kuntz," which was evidently the man's , real name. It appears that Kuntz had been a stationary engineer in St. Louis. The woman with him said he was to be superintendent of some railroad works in Monterey. The Fort Worth police were wired and her son. named Mark Ilarrold. will arrive to-morrow. It Ik snipposed, the murderer wanted to rid himself of .his .two companions. The woman said the money they had had been left her by her father who had died. A dispatch from. Kansas City says: In July last William. Kuntz, who was employed here as chief engineer at the Fordhelm brewery, left Kansas City to go to Fort .Worth, Tex.i where ho claimed to havo a -brother living. Kuntz came here from. St. Louis In February last, bringing a woman, who passed as his wife, and one child. At St. Louis he was employed as master mechanic in tho Green Tree brewery. . V. The Hynms Murder Trial.' TORONTO Ont., Nov. 13. The defense In the llyams murder trial scored another signal victory to-day when the court ruled out tho experiments with tho elevator and weight, by which the prosecution sought to demonstrate the' impossibility of the weight becoming accidentally detached and falling upon Wells. A section of the hoist' was exhibited In. court and the evidence of expertbuilders was soueht to be introduced by the prosecution showing that tho weight cooict not nave been loosened except by design. The Judge ruled. however, that changes might have been made since the fatal occurrence In the warehouse and that if these experiments were accepted as evidence tests with other elevators would be equally, admlssable. The most important testimony -brought out to-day was given by builders John Aldridge and John Fensom. who declared that, admitting the possibility of there having been an obstruction in the elevator shart, there could have been none of the proportions neccssarv to overcome the impetus of the descending weight sufficient to cause a slack In the rope and let the weight tip and fall.

It is gratifying to note that just now the star of the pugilistic actor is in apogee and that nobody regards him with greater contempt than the admirers of real pugilism. An ' Actor's Wrenth.

Majority WoMld ItnVe Ileen Democratic Had .They Voted. Washington Post.- . t . "Had the .women of Utah been allowed to vote this year," remarked Gov;. Caleb W. West, chief executive of that- Territory, at the Riggs, "there is every reason to believe that the Democrats would have been successful in the. late elections. The bulk of the Mormon vote favors tho Democracy, and the Mormon ladiesMn a great majority of cases would have been found supporting our, ticket. The new constitution provides for, woman suffrage on an exactly even ' footing -with men, but the Republicans tooic.care in the constitutional convention to. Insert a clause that prohibited them . fr.om voting until 1S06. While on the subject, I don't mind admitting that I am a convert, to the cause of female suffrage, and am sure, ithat so far as the West is concerned it is a good thing. We had it once in Utah; it was taken from us, and ever since the people have agttated for its restoration. Had it not been granted by our organio law the agitation would have gone on indefinitely; so it was best to settle the matter for alt time." "To what do you -attribute the defeat of the party in Utah?" "Well, besides the. general causes operating over the rc8ti(rtfiUe . country there were some , special reuens f or our misfortune. The campaign-was not conducted with marked wisdom on our side in any respect. One big blunder! was the nomination of United States Senators in the State convention against the protest of Weber county, of which Ogden is the county seat. Again, the pronunciamento put out against the Mormon Church was not a politic or necessary move, seeing that. tho church, as a religious organization, has nothing to do with political parties.Jand was in no wise to blame for the attitude of any individual member. This undoubtedly cost the Democratic party a-lot ofi votes. "Tho Governor of the new State is a young Salt Lake bahker, H. M. Wells, a native of the Terrltory,!I think, nnd the son of General Daniel-. II. - Wells, who was associated with Brigham Young in conducting the first-presidency. He is a man of high character and will make a good Governor. ' " '' . "I think It quite certain that Hon. Frank Cannon will be one'pf.the United States Senators. In fact ' that " is looked on as settled. Editor Goodwin, of the Salt Lake Tribune; Col. Ifaaq, Trnmbo, who is a familiar figure here, and Messrs. Brown and Bennott, Salt Lake lawyers, are the leading aspirants for 'the other Senatorship, Goodwin having,, r?rhap5, ' a shade the best of the field." "Utah will not become a full fledged State for somo weeks yet, probably not until early. next year.--The election returns must bo canvassed and sent , on here; the Constitution Inspected and approved in Washington, and then the President will issue hia proclamation. ..The new State will start out under falr4auspiccs, and my belief Is that it is .destined to - become one of the most progressive ami prosperous of the sister commonwealths on. account of its splendid resources and enlightened population." - ' . Gay VeM for -Men., , New York CommerJcj'aV.Adve'rlU'er. A remarkable collection of vests is owned by a New Yorkef. who Is one of the most distinguished cf editors. He' prides himself on his personal appearance, and he 1 always well dressed. His waistcoats, however, are 'wonderful.' When the day is gloomy this venerable gentleman will come out In a cheerful -waistcoat, in some bright, yet subdued, red ; or" blue figures. Then, when the day is gvmny, he will wear a less conspicuous vest of a soft brown or buff. His vests invariably lessen the gloom of a rainy day and soften the glare of the sun on a cloudless day.. JThis same gentleman said recently: "Men are growing too prosaic In their dres." It seems as if dealers are intentionally heeding that expression of the well-dressed editor of seventy-threo years. We. see in the shoo windows rare and radiant arrays of ready-made new-fangled walstcoais. some in-red,' some in-blue and som in buckskin cloth. In the higher priced tailors we see the cloths for , the' same. I have seen but ono man.in;a bright red vest, and he was a Columbia College freshman. Graduallv men are - getting up courage enough to appear in buckskin vests, but such extremes, except for the paddock or horse tdiow, are looked upon as not being of good taste.. However, corduroy vests are more generally worn, though corduroy waistcoats have a bit of sporting blood in them that he.rs thm from, the abdomens of certain men. But buy yourself a buff vest or a vest-with some white, blue or deep red figures in it and you will be looked upon as being up to the hour without appearing extreme. Don't say, "Oh. I can't afford one." For $3 or $4 you can purchase a beautiful vest of some fancy design. Don't be prosaic, bat' avoid extremes. School Stat Nile. The Outlook.' x Dr. William T. Ilnrrh!. tho United States Commissioner of Education, has Just made HJ fifth annual report, which covers the si-hool year ending Novemben 30, 1S93. Statistics show-that' in that year the whole number of pupils enrolled in schools and cailcges, public -and private,- in the United States was about 15.oan.ooo or nearly a quarter of the entire population. The enrollment of pupils in public schools increased nearly two per cent. : over the preceding year, and the. average attendance three and one-half per cent. In that year there were employed 122.000 male and 250,000 female teachers. Since 1S9 there has been a decrease in the number of malo teachers, but the number of female teachers has increased nearly three-fourths. The number of school-houses was 235,000. valued at nearly four hundred, .million dollars. For the year the school revenue wms $165,000,ono, and the expenditures $;n3.0.'H).0O0. Jn the last twenty years the -value of school property In the United Ftates and the common-school expenditure have more than doubled. In professional educatlotl it is Interesting to note that theological schools are more heavily endowed compared with. 'their expenses than any othrx, class of institutions. Of theological students one-half get their educational training in denominational schools, one-sixth In non-sectarian schools, and only three per cent, in State universities. Zzeclai Bath Rcca Tilts.

BOLD ROBBER CAUGHT

STIt K ETCA II COXIJVCTOIl WISDEV STOPS THE GAME OF A TRIO. TJicIr Scheme to Rob Condacto Wlsbey, on Hln Guard, Capture - William Meyers. By a bold piece of work Alonzo Wisbey, a conductor on tho Masachusetts-avenue car line, succeeded in capturing one of a trio of highwaymen who have been working a new scheme. Their plan was to enter a car together, one remaining on the rear platform. At the first favorable opportunity .the man on the platform would pull the trolley off the wire and the car would be plunged in darkness. In the confusion that would ensue the two confederates would undertake to rob the conductor of his money belt and push their way to the rear platform when they and their confederate would escape. The game was successfully worked early last evening. The conductors were warned to bo on their guard, and when the men got on Wisbey's car he was on the lookout. They rode up and down the line several times. Shortly before 11:30 last night they got on his car and at the corner of St. Clair street and Massachusetts avenue the man on the platform threw the trolley off. Wisbey was expecting some such occurrence and had his eyes on the two men on the inside. Ho grabbed one of them, but the other two Jumped to the ground and ran away. Wisbey followed them outside, forcing the man he had captured to go before him at the point of his revolver. Wisbey turned his man over to the motorman and started in pursuit of the others. He lired several shots after the fleeing highwaymen, but they escaped. The man captured was turned over to tho police. Ho was brought to the station house by Sergeant . Mc-fford and officers Sheridan and Negley. At the station house he gave the name of William Meyers. The police are looking for the other two. Meyers is believed to be one-of a gang who successfully worked tho same game on a conductor on Noble street earlier in. the evening. They jumped off the car at Spring street and escaped. ' . BUTLER'S FIRST VICTORY. She Defeats the Kniglitfttovrn Team 1y nn IK to O Score. ' The Butler football eleven, of this city, played the Knlghtstown eleven at Bushville yesterday afternoon, the former winning by a score of 18 to 0. It was Knightstown's first defeat and Butler's first victory. The game was one between a strong town team and a " trained " college team, ' and the coached men won. 1 Butler played the best game she has played this-season, for there was an indication of team work, the necessity of which Marshall Flint, the coach, has tried to impress upon the team. . Moore appeared at center for the first time for Butler, and it was shown that he is a strong addition to the eleven. Last; year he played with the High School team. Butler has been weak this season at center and in one or two other places, which are being strengthened. . The size of the crowd which witnessed the game was fair. Rushvllle had never seen a real scrappy game of football In which college men were interested, and many turned out to judge for themselves regarding the alleged brutality of the game. A special from Rush ville Indicates there is a difference of opinion o;er the game as played. Some think it was a fine exhibition of sprt, while others believe it was' brutal. Butler made the first touchdown by a series of rushes In three minutes.. . The same tactics were pursued by-the collegians when the ball was brought out again. Butler bucked center and the left- end of Knightstown's line, making a second touchdown and goal. Rhlnehart, of Butler,, made, a fine run soon after tho- two elevens lined up again, and this was followed by rushes which carried the ball across the Knlghtstown line for the third and last time, fixing the score at 18 to 0. In the second half Butler played a defensive game and worked at interference, a thing which has been a weakness of the team. Knightstown played a better game in the second 'half than in the first and made some very clever plays. A. It. Herkless, . who captained the Knightstown eleven, played with Purdue at one time. Other members of the team are old collego players. Mutz, Moore. Loop, Lister and Rhlnehart made star plays for Butler. Saturdav the Knightstown team plays that of Earlham College.

BIG DIAMOND STEAL RUMORED THAT A ST. LOl IS MEHCIIA.XT I,OST ?10,000. Robbery Alleged to Have Occurred on - Biff Four Xo Corroboration of Informant's Story. It was reported on the street last night that J. L. Enslght, of St. Louis, a diamond dealer, had been robbed of a valise containing $10,000 wortfi of diamonds on the Big Four train that leaves here for Cincinnati at 6:20 in the evening. A man who gave his name as Clark and sail he was a switchman in the Big Four yards told the story, but seemed to know little about it. It was not reported at police headquarters nor to the offices of the Big Four road. Nothing was known of it at the Union Station., The story as told by Clark Is that Enslght was on his way from St. Louis to Cincinnati and had two valises, both of which contained diamonds and other jewelry. When the train left here he was siting ' in a scat alone with the valises by his side. When the train reached pie Belt road two men entered the car 'and passed along the aisle until they came to Enslght, One of them grabbed one of the valises and the two- men then Jumped from the moving train and disappeared. According to Clark's story it is supposed that the men belonged to what is known , as "Big" Ed Ryan's gang, of Chicago. They. had followed Enslght from St. Louis and simply awalted their opportunity to get the valuable!!. The story could not be corroborated either here or in Cincinnati. At the Union Station It had been heard, but the report was taken there by a man who was described in such a manner as to lead "to the conclusion ihat It was Clark. The men at tho station do not believe the story, because they say It would havo been reported Immediately after it happened and they would have heard of it through official channels. It had not been heard at midnight at the office of the general manager of the Big Four. . PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. May Wrlsht Sewall will return from New York Saturday. Mrs. A. L.
