MARRIAGE A HABIT TO WOMEN Wrtter Asserts They Want Husbands to Escape Being Called "Old Maids." i ? ^omen have the marrying habit; men do not. This is not strange, for generations of girls have been taught that every woman should be married, and that to remain unwed is a dis grace. Being a "married woman" has been a sort of boast of superiority on the part of wives. Naturally, because their mothers and almost every other person of their own sex put a great deal of emphasis on the desirability of being married, and none at all on the desirability, which sometimes exists, of remaining unmarried, girls looked on marriage as the goal of ambition, and bent their whole energies to getting husbands. Rather than endure the stigma of being "old maids" they took the first man who gave them a chance. Their object was not love, not a husband, but simply to acquire the status, privileges and deference which they had been taught were denied to all of their sex except the "married woman." The same mothers who fairly drive their daughters to marrv are sineru * ' O "" J o larly reluctant to see their sons wed. The mother who is employing all the arts and craft of the chase to entrap some other woman's son for her daughter's husband will weep at the announcement that the other woman's daughter has shackled her son.?

Charleston, November 12:?F W R Hinman, business manager of the Jrcksonville Times-Union, and president of the Southern Newspaper Publishers' association, was fatally wounded and Capt Andrew D Ingram, master of the vessel, and B H Wright of Utica, N Y, a passenger, seriously wounded last night, it is alleged, by George Bactheler Perkins, an architect of Boston, Mass, on the Clyde line steamship Mohawk, when that vessel was off the North Carolina coast bound from New York for Charleston. Mr Hinman died this morning at 8:37 o'clock, 13 ;hours after sustaining the two fatal wounds in the abdomen and tojthe side of the abdomen from a 32 calibre.revolver. Accompanied by his widow and a son-in-law, Mr' Hinman's body was carried late tonight to Jacksonville, Fla. A preliminary inquest was held tonight'by; United States Commissioner ArthurjHuger. Perkins, who. heardlthe warrant read without being affectediand who showed an attitude ofjnot knowing what he had done, did not attend nor did Capt Ingram or|MrlWright, both of whom are in a hospital here. J Waities Waring, assistant United States attorney, questioned the witnesses. It was decided to hold Perkins for trial on the charge of having killed Mr Hinman. It was brought out at the hearing that Perkins had been taking what he called headache powders to excess and his room-mate, N K Went. dm worth of Connecticut, said he was suspicious of Perkins because of this. Soon after 8 o'clock last night Perkins, clad in pajamas and a raincoat, approached Capt Ingram, and Mr and Mrs Hinman, who were in conversation. He addressed a remark to Capt Ingram, who replied that Perkins must wear more suitable apparel if he wished to mingle with other passengers. Perkins whipped out his revolver and fired at Capt Ingram, the bullet taking effect in the Captain's abdomen. He then shot Mr Hinman and turned the weapon on Mr Wright, who was reclining on a settee. He shot Mr Hinman again and tried to shoot Capt Ingram, the bullet going wild. He turned the pistol on himself, but its five cartridges had been discharged. The'steward and assistant steward of the Mohawk and several passengers, hearing the shots, rushed to the scene and overpowered Perkins, who told his captors that they could do as they pleased with him but,! witnesses allege, that he wanted to get others who were on the ship. Perkins was placed in irons and held under close surveillance and when the Mohawk docked this afternoon he was given into the custody of the authorities, by whom he was placed in the insane ward of hospital here. Capt Ingram and Mr Wright are expectedjto recover. Capt Ingram was wounded in the abdomen and Mr Wright in the thigh. VALUABLE FOOD CROPS. Wheal and Corn [Bring Record Prices?Big Potato Crop.
