Jealousy the Cause. A Husband’s Infatuation. Pathetic Recital. Other Kinfolks to the Rescue The jury decides quickly-- the guilty man not at the trial. ONe of the most remarkable cases in the criminal annals of this country has been recently been concluded at Atlanta, Georgia. All of the parties to the unfortunate affair are white people and residents of that state. It is evident that lawlessness begets lawlessness. As they have sowed now they are reaping. The Atlanta, Georgia Constitution in its issue of the 28th ult. Tells of the trial of Mrs. Willie Standifer, who was the self-confessed murderer of her own sister “We the jury, find the defendant not guilty.” That was the verdict reached in less than ten minutes in the case of Mrs. Willie Sandifer, who was tried in the criminal branch of the superior court yesterday for the killing of her sister, Miss Chappell Widenany on March 9, last. The verdict given at 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon was received in silence that was oppressive. The stillness was so intense that the breathing of people in the packed courtroom was audible. There would probably have been an outburst of applause if Judge Roan has not commanded that there should be no demonstration, no matter the verdict. He called to the sheriff to stop the jury, as it was about to file into the courtroom, and said. “There must be no demonstration whatever the verdict in this case may be. This is a courtroom, and I instruct deputies to arrest the first person who makes a demonstration.” That was why the verdict was received in such deep silence. The woman who sat near the prisoner, her sisters and her friends, dropped their faces in their hands and wept. Mrs. Standifer looked about her like a frightened child, and clasped and unclasped her fingers nervously. Last Chapter in a Pathetic Tragedy. The last chapter in one of the most pathetic tragedies that ever occurred in Atlanta had ended. A poor frail woman upon whom death is about to set its seal in “consumption’s ghastly form,” had been arraigned at the bar of justice for slaying her own sister. Her plea was that she was so goaded to desperation by her heartless husband, who had found in her young sister a victim for his faithfulness, that she became so madly insane that she slew her sister to save her from dishonor, and to protect herself and little child from the social ruin that must follow… Location Upper Left Quadrant Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Student Name Emma Roberts Summary A young girl and her male teacher physically fight each other in the classroom after “war was declared” between them, the girl proving “that the American girl is abundantly able to take care of herself.” Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP19060310&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Women Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Young Miss Whips Her Male Teacher Fight creates pandemonium in a school-house Girl “sasses” pedagogue Latter soon learns his mistake when he attempts to punish her--Help finally comes to his rescue. Maryland, N.Y.-- Last Friday was a day of unusual activity in the school house in the Gurney district on Crumhorn. On the previous Wednesday, so the story goes, the teacher, Charles Tubbs, had an altercation with two of his scholars, Otis Blencoe and Frank Hitchman, about eating candy in school. Both were told by Tubbs to go home. Hitchman obeyed, but the Blencoe lad refused to budge. When leaving the school house that afternoon he was told not to return until the following noon. He replied that if he could not return in the morning he would not come at all. He did not present himself at school the following day. On Friday a bout of words took place between the teacher and Miss May Blencoe, the 15-year-old and buxom sister of Otis. It is alleged that the young miss “sassed” the teacher, who seemed to think the dignity of his position had been assailed, and he ordered her to take her belongings and go home. This she peremptorily refused to do. At this point war was declared, and the teacher cleared the deck for action. Seizing a heavy stick, he demanded the young lady’s hand- not in marriage-- but for the purpose of playing a tatoo on her pal,. She refused to to present her hand, and the blows from the stick descended thick and fast on her shoulders. This was more than her American girlhood could endure, and she made a catch -as-catch can rush on the rural pedagogue, with the result that he found his pedal extremities flying in the air and his black resting on the uncushioned seat which had been occupied by his strenuous pupil. This was only the opening of hostilities. The girl had scored in the first round, but the schoolmaster was determined not to be done by a schoolgirl. Pandemonium reigned supreme. The small children rna from the building crying from fright. The teacher called upon one of the pupils for assistance, but this was refused. Finally his hands found the white throat of his adversary; but this did not work, for a longer arm than his own fetched down on his larynx and a muscular hand made his breathing heavy and difficult. The young girl’s hair was disheveled and hanging down her shoulders. Seeing this, Tubbs grabbed the golden locks, and it is said he gave them a severe pull. This redoubled the anger of Miss Blencoe, and she raised her assailant up and threw him on the floor with a dull thud. With a firm hand she gently pressed the teacher’s windpipe, while her knee made his vest grate on his spinal column. In this manner she held him until assistance came, when she released him, and, taking a younger member of the family with her, she quickly left the schoolhouse. It is said that her waist was nearly torn from her body and that her back and shoulders were literally covered with bruises. She has demonstrated what has often been proven before, that the American girl is abundantly able to take care of herself.

Student Name Emma Roberts Summary The whole world takes notice when Miss Alice Roosevelt is married because “it is not every day that the daughter of the president gets married.” Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP19060210&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Women Times Repeated 2 Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound The most conspicuous young woman in the world The White House Wedding Nuptials of Miss Alice Roosevelt and Representative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio in the East Room of the Executive Mansion on Feb 17--- The groom and His Ancestor--- Miss Roosevelt’s Interesting Career--- The most conspicuous Young Woman in the World-- Preferred a Man Rather Than a Title-- Her Piquant, Independent, and Vivacious Personality It is not every day that the daughter of the president gets married, nor is it every president that had a daughter like Alice Roosevelt. So it is not to be wondered at that the American people- and the whole world, for that matter, are interested in the event of Feb 17th. Even the kings and emperors are sitting up and taking notice. Practicality every potentate of Europe is to send a wedding present. It is said that the pope will honor the occasion by a token of remembrance, and it is not improbable that the sultan of turkey, the empress dowager of China and the mikado of Japan may get into the game. Your Uncle Samuel has grown big enough to be the fashion, even though his republican notions are not exactly acceptable to the royalties who remain to pester the world. Let it be said that the honor of Miss ROosevelt that she decided to marry a man rather than a title. That the man is an American is all the better. After the alliance of so many of our heiresses to princes, dukes, counts, and other weaklings with novel nicknames this is a grateful variation. This is an age of men, not of titles: of deeds, not of seemings. In America this is especially true, for ours is a land of men and of deeds, and it is well that the daughter of a president who is himself so demoncratic should thus honor the genius of her country. Yet high society in Washington long predicted that the daughter of the White HOuse would wed a title. Rumor in that city of rumors has it that there is not an unmarried titled member of any foreign legation at the national capital that had not had designs on her. Besides, the castles of Europe are full of more of the sort. Then there is Asia. She might have been sultanate of Sulu. True, she denied that story about the sultan of many wives offering her his hand and the upper left hand corner of his heart, but others of the Taft party insist that the proposal actually took place. It is too good a tale to be snuffed out be a mere denial. Why spoil so exciting a romance by the proxy statement that this is not a fact? Washington rumor also says-- but what does it not say?-- that Congressman Longworth had to propose seven times before he was finally accepted. There is a man after our own heart. He deserves her. All the world loves a lover and especially a lover who knows what he wants and will not take no for an answer. Lucky seven! The mystic number that had been sung by oriental poets and is held in reverence by people even further west. Never did it turn the trick in a better cause. That union, dependent on a seventh “popping of the question” by a persistent lover, should be a happy one. ONe other thing is there that should not be overlooked. Mr. Longworth-the Hon. NIcholas Longworth-- to whom be all honor for his good taste, luck, and perseverance, hails from Ohio. Does that not solve the riddle? The state that gave to the world a Grant, a Sherman and a Sheridan; where were born a Stanton, a Howells and an Edison; that was the home of one Harrison and the birthplace of another and that was both the home and birthplace of three other presidents; the state of Corwin, Giddings, Chase, Thurman, and Taft-- to say nothing of Hanna, John, Sherman and Rockefeller! There are people who have gone so far as to say that the only thing President Roosevelt lacks is an Ohio birthplace, but if he cannot have a BUckeye birthplace, he can at least afford a BUckeye son-in-law. He can have the state related to him by matrimony if not by maternity….

Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP19030117.1.2&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Women Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound The New Fashionable Figure The straight-line rule in fashion has resulted in a remodeling of the feminine form divine. No longer are graceful curves desired; now the lines must be straight and angular. The change in figure is coming much more rapidly than the untutored might think possible, and the designers are lending every aid t its rapid development. It matters not that it is far from the beautiful so long as it is fashionable. “The new figure,” explained a specialist, “follows the perpendicular as nearly as it is possible for a woman’s outline to do it. In acquiring this figure a slight woman will have a great advantage over her stout sister. The only hope of the latter lies in her corset. “A straight front is to be accentuated, not only below but above the waist line, and the back, too, must look as if a board was strapped to the spine. [illegible]... only spring or curve permitted [illegible]...lower part of the corset is at [illegible]... which does not mean, however [illegible]... large hips have come in fashionable [illegible]. “On the contrary, hips are to be compressed as much as possible. As a means to this end the corset is cut longer than it has been for years, particularly over the hips and abdomen— as long, in fact, as it can be and permit the wearer to sit down— and the most strenuous efforts of the makers are directed to using down and holding down the flesh on the hips. “And with the help of heavy bones and steels, also strong straps, the latter fastened to the edges of the corset on either side and then to haters clasped below the knee, it is marvelous what sylphlike results are obtained. The stars, as many be imagined, are the least comfortable part of the apparatus; nevertheless, some women wear four of them, two in front as well as two at the side the better to keep the corset firmly in place. After the figure begins to fall into the new lines the stars are less important. From the waist line up there are also marked changes in the cut of the up-to-date corset designed to mold the new figure. As most people are aware, the models wire during the last year or two have been cut very roomy immediately above the waistline in front. This was to give the effect of a low bust. In fact, a low bust has been perhaps the most distinctive feature of the fashionable figure for more than a year. “Now all that is changed. Fashion commands that the bust shall be high in order to promote the straight line which she has made the keynote of the new figure. Therefore, the corset is now fitted quite smoothly in front to some distance above the waistline, and very closely indeed under the arm. “Necessarily, the bust is much heightened. The corset, too, is cut much higher than it was a few months ago.” Location Upper Left Quadrant Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
