The Family While at Breakfast Wan Startled by Pistol Shots..-Found Wife DyVA A srecial dispatc.h from Spartan bt..-g to the Columuia Record sy Mrs. Marion B. Jennings committ-d suicide Thurs.iay morning by shoot ing herself in the left temple. The shots. two in number. aroused the family as they were at the break fast table. and Mr. Jennings ruslied into his wife's bedroom and found her already dying. lying in a great pool of blood. For four months Mrs. Jennir.gs had been in ill health and had re-, cently been suffering greatly from melaneholia. *t it was not feared that she would do herself injury. On Thursday morning she sert n.-r youngost daughter out of her room. saying she desired to be left alone. to sleep. and the act was evidently .hen meditated. Within a few minutes two shots were heard. MOrs. Jennings secured an old pistol that had been lem!ft in the bedroom. The pistol was placed against her left temple and the head was practically torn completely off. The family are prostrated with grief. Mrs. Jennings was about a year or more ago married to Mr. Marion B. Jennings. son of Strte Treasurer Jennings. Mr. Jennings haviP4 for meriy lived at Yorkville, where he practiced law for several years after leaving Columbia a few years ago. Mrs. Jennings was also a former Co inmbian. Miss Emma Hanahan. a sister of Dr. Hanahan of Columbia. She was first married to Mr. Er nest Beard. of Yarkville. and by that marriage his four daughters. all of whom are at home except one. w-hose home is in Yorkville. About a year ago she was married to Mr. Jen nings. and they made their home in Spartanbur where Mr. Jennings is practicing his profession. Mrs. Jen nings was 37 years of age. rOUTED THE IEtIELS.

One of the insurgents was killed in stantly. while Miniet and two others were taken prisoners. The rest of the band is being hotly pursued by the rurals. None of the guard was hurt. The prisoners were taken to San iago, whence they will be sent to) Haana for trial on the capit~a charge of engaging In armed rebel 'lion. Another armed party is still beleed to be in the field.

It is one of he results of a general movement tbroughout the South in the direction f diversified agriculture-a move nent which we are endeav->ring to ncourage and assist as far as we an properly do so.

Iurglary and Thuism Has Given Way to a Very large Extent to the Slicker Game of Pirkpockets. Forgers and Confidence Men. "In exact ratio to the ablitty of .he law to discover and promptly Lad eV' ciently punish a certain clas >f crimes. will the criminals who live y them be compelled to seek other lelds of occupation." This is the tatement of Judge William N. Gen nill. of the Municipal court. of Ch!c tgo. a man who has made a study of time and criminals during the long ind honorable career he has had on he bench in the Illinois metropolis. rhere is no other man. In Chicago .hat knows more about the under orld and its operatizns in that city han Judge Gemmill. and he Is re :gnized as an authority upon mat ers of this sort. Criminal statistics prove that the :rimes have increased or decreased ust in the poportion that the pun shments therefore have been swift ind cetain." continued the judge. 'Highway robbery, for instance. is lmost a lost art and one does not ave to seek far for the reason. U he robber escapes death at the ands of the victim he becomes an utlaw and is hunted like a wild >east. In Chicago arrests for rob ery have decreased from 1.200 in 905 to 7:!) In 19n. "Twenty-five years ago the bur iar was more feared by the public ban any other criminal. Today iousebreakinc in the night is al nost unknown. I have or had a ingle case of such housebreaking n the 8.000 criminal cases heard by ne during the past three years. -In Chicago arrests for burglay Lave deceased since 1905 from 1.780 o 1.263. a detrease of 34 per cent. * five years. What has brought bout the change? It is not that he .burglar has become more honest. >ut it is because be has found the ousiness more dangerous and its ounisiment more certain and swift. *Certain crimes. however. are on he increase. We hare In Chiaao iot less than 500 professional pick >ockets. If the criminoligisti could ramine their heads they miight be aken for nank clerks. They are of he beat dressed and best looking oung fellows in the city. They ravel in groups of thr-e or four. hey haunt the crowds and ply their allin: with a skill scarcely equalled n any other profession. They hire heir lawyer by the year and send ui a Christmas present at Christ nas time. "Their number is constantly In reasing. Why? Because they know hat they have ni.:e chances out of enu to escape punishment. Seldom lo their victims discover thse loss i~f heir pocket books before they have nae. good their escape. "Counterfeiting was ones. the be ,.eting crime or the nations. The -ountereiter has become rare. but~ in ii' plac" has come~ the smn>oth con idec- man. The number ot these elows has increased ->0 per ceot in Thicago in five years. It is the saf st criminal buasines outside of Lhat f the pickpocket. / "'The same conditions apply to for ;ery. and ns a consequence the ar rests for that crime hare increased 46 per cent, in the last five years. 'here have been reformed robbers ndh burglars. but sj far as I knw -ever a ref'ormaed former or cni ience man. ".Much that is hopeful has been accomnplished in Chicago during the last few years. Of the 202.924 crim inal cases brought into the courts of the conuty i the last three years ~per cent. were tried within 24 hours from thcir arrest and 9- per cent. within ten days from the ar rest. "While crimes based upon fraud uent business transactions has.e in creased. all of the more serious crimes have decreased. This does not include' homicide. which has re maned almost statio:!ary.
