Washington's orderly bopk records the closing inci- dent in a widespread Tory plot, the object of which was to capture and imprison the general, assassinate sev- eral of his officers, blow up the powder magazines and demoralize the Army of the continent. Hickey was a member of the gen- eral's personal bodyguard. He was hanged in the sight of 20,000 persons pleading as his excuse that he wished to gain favor with Tryon in order to be assured of friendly treatment when the British capture New York. The conspiracy had_been directed, it is believed, by William Tryon, former British governor, and ) Matthews, though declaring guiltless, is known to have been impli- cated.

EAR MISS DIX: Is there a man-made law to punish “the woman in the case?’ We know there is a God-made law that will surely be enforced hereafter, but why can a woman With the subtlety of a serpent and the allure- ments of youth step in and take the husband from the wife, the father from his little children, the son from a mother, rob the man of his honor and his respectability, and go unpunished? T. D. N. ‘We have a law that permits the aggrieved husband or wife to wrecker and demand a monetary consideration for the alienation | of the affections of the errant spouse. | You can hardly pick up a paper in which you do not read of some man who is demanding forty or fifty or a hundred thousand dollars as the price of | hts wife's love, which some other man has stolen away from him, or of some woman who is suing some other woman for a Jarge sum for having purloined her husband’s affections from her. It is a grotesque and sordid thing to assess the damage done in breaking up a home in dollars and cents; to try to heal a hurt with a_ poultice of | greenbacks. But so far it®seems to be the only method we have been able to ! devise for punishing those who commit the most dastardly and the most | terrible of all crimes. For the sheik and the vamp are worse than thieves and murderers. Those who rob a woman of her husband and little children of their father | have taken from them something infinitely more valuable than gold or Jjewels.

But there never can be any man-made law that can deal adequately with | such criminals, because home-wrecking is always an inside job. The love | thief has an accomplice.

They, at least, opened the window and left the door unlocked. | To save his face, every man whose wife is ur | that he was the helpless victim of some man who captured her and bore her | shrieking away from him.
