New York, June .27.-With the police,
coroners and district attorneys offices
working practically day and night to
learn all the details of the events which
led up to the murder Of Stanford White
by Harry K. Thaw, and all sources
silent as to their discoveries, there
was much room for speculation today
on all phases Of the case.
The motive for the murder, the police
believe, was outlined in Thaw's brief
statement that his home had besn
ruined and with this as a basis Of in
vestlgation detectives were sent in vari-
GUS directions looking up Thaw's habits
In New York and Investigating the
many stories told and published con-
corning Stanford Whites conduct. !,
Thaw, advised by some of the most
prominent lawyers Of New York and
Pittsburg, is silent.
Mrs. Thaw is with friends today
ready to respond to call from the dis
trict attorneys office.
Letter in the Case. ~
Perhaps the most interesting devel-
opment late last night was the an
nouncement that Mrs. Thaw told her
husband 8 lawyer that she had received
many letters from Mr.. White since her
marriage. One Of these she threw on

her husband found it and vowed ven
geance on the writer. While the finding
of this letter may have bee1 the direct
cause Of the tragedy, Thaw's jealousy
Of and hatred for White were of long
standing, and the young man made
frequent threats to kill White.
| T. Detectives Dogged White.
Mr.: White was astonished some
months ago to find that detectives were
following him wherever he went. At
first he had some doubt whether the
men were really logging his footsteps
or whether it was a mere accident that
the same faces appeared when, be left
his office, his home or his club, at
morning, noon and night.

They tell this one on former Gov.
George Hoadly of Ohio:
Once upon a time, in the midst OF q
campaign, Mr.. Hoadly was to deliver
a speech at a little town in the great
and glorious Buckeye State. When he
reached the one hotel the town boast
ed he walked up to the register and
wrote his name. The proprietor-head-

sleeves, his hat on the back OF his
head, and a cigar stump held between
his teeth. When the visitor had put
down his John Hancock, the factotum

With more hauteur, and almost
quivering with outraged importance,
the guest said impressively:

the state of Ohio!"
Turning, then, with a look of ex-
asperated impatience on his face, the
hotel man exclaimed:

DIFFERENCE OF DEGREE.
Roth Parted Their Hair in the Mid
die, But Ones Part Was Much
the Wider.

One of the veteran lawyers of Bur-
lington, VT, is A. V. S~palding, writes
F. H. Kelsey of Lowell, in the Boston
Globe. One day when he was trying a
case in the Chittenden county court
he called as a witness a stylishly
dressed young mar who parted his
hair in the middle, a practice that
used to be regarded as indicative of
a dude" The young man, however,
gave his testimony in a plain, straight
forward and resumed his seat.
When the argument came to be
made by the counsel opposed to Mr..
Spalding, reference was made in a
peculiarly cutting manner to the fop-
pish looking witness who parted his
hair in the middle.
On rising to reply, Mr.. Spalding
said: 81 fail to see how the fact that
this young man parts his hair in the
middle has any bearing in this case.
He certainly has a right to part his
hair in the middle, and he parts it ex-
actly as my brother on the other side
does his, only" he added, pointing to
the perfectly bald head of the oppos-
ing lawyer, che doesn't part it quite
so wide"

Man Who Tried to Sell

A young bond salesman for a New
York house interviewed the late Mar
shall Field in the spring of 1905 with a
view to selling him a number of Penn
sylvania railroad guaranteed bonds,
yielding a little less than four per
cent. Young man." said Mr.. Field,
relates Worlds Work. you are only
wasting my time and yours. I like
your bonds. When the trustees Of my
estate come to investing the interest
on my investment 1 hope they win
buy that kind of bonds, but I am a
business man, and do not care to put
a large part of my surplus in a fully
developed property any more than I
should care to buy out a business
enterprise that seemed to me to have
reached the limit Of its growth, no
matter how solid it might be. Your
bonds are too good for me-" Mr.. Field
it will be noted, invested his surplus
on the same principle upon which he
built up his business, namely, to put
the money where it has a chance to
grow.

A Blind Spot In the Eye.

1t is remarkable that although
the optic nerve is Of all parts of the
eye the most sensitive to light, yet
should an object fall on it as we
look around us-and some object
must always be thrown on tit is
invisible to US, and in our field of
vision there is in reality a gap,
though in ordinary sight the sur
rounding edges of this gap draw up
together and SO fill it. But by clos
ing one eye by practice one may
actually force the object which is
reflected on to the optic nerve to
disappear completely from the field
of vision. Bernstein tells Ms that
even the sun itself can be made to
disappear if it falls exactly ON the
blind spot where the optic nerve en-
tiers the eye. This may account for
the fact that some people can close
one eye and stare the summer sun
without WincinH.

conuineina Evidences.

In the Afghan war of 1878 some
British forces under the late Sir
MOntagu Gregory came upon the
only Sikh temple in Afghanistan
and heard the story of the laying
of its cornerstone from a member
of the gallant warrior tribe.
A Sikh who had saved the life of
the ameer then reigning had re-
celved permission to erect shrine.
One of the native prophets was in
vited to be present at the laying of
the cornerstone of the building; but,
being unable to accept, he sent four
bricks, one for each corner of the
temple, and the message, Il will be
with you in the spirit"
To make assurance doubly sure
the prophet explained that by the
sound Of the rushing of horses
through the air the people on the
scene might time the arrival of him
self and his disciples.
Did you hear them? ?" inquired
Sir Montagu at this point of the
Sikh's recital
NO, but l saw the bricks" re-
piled the native, with perfect COM

Lord PIunkst,, Bad Cook.

In chapter on verbal infelicities
the author of "Collections and Rec
elections" relates an anecdote con-
corning Archbishop Trench, a man
of singularly vague and dreamy hab-
its, who resigned the see of Dublin
on account of advancing years and
settled in London.
He went some time after to pay
visit to his successor, Lord Plum
ket. Finding himself back again in
his old palace, sitting at his old din
ner table and gazing across it at his
old wife, he lapsed in memory to
the days when he was master of the
house and gently remarked to Mrs.
Trench:
81 am afraid, my love, that we
must put this cook down among our
failures"
What the feelings of Lord and
Lady Plunket were on hearing this
comment history does not relate.

A Family Mix un.

This always seemed to me very
funny story:
married widow who had a
grownup daughter. My father Wis
tied US often, fell in love with nv
stepdaughter and married her. Thus
he became M son-in-law, and my
stepdaughter became my mother,
because she was my fathers wife.
Soon after this my wife gave birth
to son, which of course was nv
fathers son-in-law and my uncle,
for he was the brother of nv step
mother. My fathers wife also be-
came the mother of a son. He was
of course my brother and also nv
grandchild, for he was the son of
my daughter. Accordingly my wife
was my grandmother, because she
was my mothers mother. l was nv
wife's husband and grandchild at
once, and, as the husband of a per
sons grandmother is his GRANDPA
ther, l became my own grandfather.

The New Candy Girl.

'The way we escape the contin-
gency of having all our goods eaten
by our salespeople," says the man
ager of a large candy shop, is to
place no restriction on them what
ever. Indeed, when we find new
girl has an unusually large sweet
tooth we are apt to tell her or let
her know in some way that she is at
liberty to help herself. She takes
advantage of this license for a pc
Rod of time, ranging from two days
to a week, but she generally gets
enough IN a shorter period than the
latter and thenceforth lets the can
dy severely alone. Sometimes, in
deed, the odor of the fresh candy de-
stroys all appetite for it much as
the smell of cooking food eliminates
the cook as hearty eater. a little
Whit of it sharpens the palate, but
full inhalation of the supercharged
atmosphere is equivalent to full
meal. ".Philadelphia Record.
