FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 90, 1906.

The KILLING of Stanford White by
Harry Thaw in New York last Monday
is bringing volumes of the private his
tory OF the slayer and his victim to light
which are read with svidity. 1t is said
that White spent about 5000, 600 year
on his appetite and Thsw in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. The latter, a
spoilt child, was reared enid the great
est afiuence. He soon developed into
a cigarette fend, and he imagined his
mission in life was to have to kill time
and squander money. White, while
practising a profession, was oil type
who see nothing in life but swirl OF
sensuaIity. The last sound that enter
ed his ears WAS the voice Of an actress
10 the Madison Square Garden. The
murder has removed the lid from the
social life of certain class in New
York, and the details are sad to contem-
dlate. When Thaw shall have been
placed on trial supplementary volumes
will be in evidence. A propOs OF the
above, Mr.. George Bernard Shaw, the
author and dramatist, 10 an address in
London yesterday said: "a great pro-
portion of the people in society are ras-
Gals; in fact we are sll more or less
rascals."

The LongWorths at Court.

A dispatch from London sayg that
yesterdays court was made notable BY
the presentation OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Nicholas LOngworth. The royal circle
was numerous, and the procession of the
king, queen, and officers of State was
exceptionally brilliant. The kings
breast glittered with orders, and the
queen wore beautiful jewels.
There is no doubt that interest in the
court for majority OF those attending
centered chiefly in Mrs. Longworth.
She was the cynosure of all the English
court danes, not excepting the royal
prlncesses. Etiquette and "the repose
which stamps the caste of We're De
We're" prevented conspicuous quzzing,
but the curiosity of those who had not
previously met President Roosevelt's
daughter WAS expressed as isZ IS possible
within the limits 81 soc.ety's precepts of
decornm,
Mrs. EongwOrth passed through the
ordeal with great self-possession, and
received the special notice which the
king and queen and other members of
the royal circle markedly bestowed on
her with modest ease.
After the presentation King Edward
and Queen Alexandra passed to the sup,
per room and Immediately SAINT tor Mr.
and Mrs. Lonswoeth to Join them.
AIRS. Longw1rth wore her wedding
gown, with a diamond ribbon at her
throat, and her hair was simply dressed.

rules q separate vote could not be had
on the pipe line provision, which he
characterized as Outrageous" and fore
ed into the bill "by the infamous mono
poly 4" the standard oil. He said that
for time the big stick and the pitch
fork had been aligned together against
the oil trust, bat when the pitchfork got
to the firing line, tt saw the big stock s
coat tails husting toward the rear,
and the last seen of the president
was a sliding on all fouTs to get

He said that otherwise the rate bill was
good one, and he gave the President
full credit for securing such legislation.
"He drove it through Congress, as be
drove the meat inspection rough shod
through the House," he exclaimed,
"oecause public opinion was behind
him. Public opinion would be behind

Mr.. Cooper replied that he did not
mean to impugn Mr.. DalzelPs motives,
but that he had no apology to make. He
charged that Mr.. Dalzell's evident ami

Escaped from Penitentiary.

Walter STARS, white convict, who
disappeared in the Richmond peniten-
tiary June Is, made his escape Wednes-
day night after having concealed him
self during the entire interval under the
floor of one of the shoe factories. By
some means he had accumulated sup
ply of provisions in his place of conceal
ment. He escaped by cutting hole in
one of the foundation walls. The aG-
thorities were satisfied that he was hid
ing within the institution, but all efforts
to find him were unavsiliug. STARS
waited patiently until the watch which
had been placed on the wall for the pur-
pose of preventing his leaving the build
ing had been withdrawn, and then he
cut his way through the walls. The
man evidently had accomplices, who APP
prised him in his hiding place of the
withdrawal of the guard.

DURING the first half of the present
wear a total of about 1898 miles OF rail-
road we're constructed, which fact leads
the Railway Age to declare that the
record for the year will exceed those
made in 1902 or 1903. This means
that the total railway construction for
the year will approximate 5000 miles
of roads, ss the record for 1903 was
1886 miles, and for 1902 1854 miles.
With the exception of 1902 the record
for the half year exceeds any made
during the part Is years. The irst
half of the year 1902 saw 2Sl4 miles OF
track completed. In a recent issue OF
the same journal it was stated that
there we're fully $4,000 miles of rail
way nnder construction in the United
States. 1t is now stated that additional
contracts haye been let which will add
many hundreds of miles to the total
number of miles being built at the
present time. According to the Age,
the number of railways in the hands OF
receivers continues to decrease and the
numbers have been more than offset
by the number which have been taken
out of receiyerships by foreclosure or
by friendly reorganization without sale.

New York Stock Market.

New York. June 29.-The improvement
which was in full swing in the stock market
yesterday afternoon has not been maintained
in the dealings so far today. The chief reason
for the decreased strength is that room traders
believe that the most urgent buying on the
late rally was due to covering Of shorts and
not any accumulation of stocks for long ac-
count The sentiment Of the room and the
street is almost wholly bearish. Price move
ments were all dOwhwards snd the high rate
for call money this morning helped traders to
depress prices, but on the low levels reached
business slackened and at times the market
was extremely dull.
