II. 1HAW Was SWIFT
HARRY HAS A RECORD As FAST
SPEKDER OF MONEY.
His Family, Who Live in Pittsburg,
Are Rich-Harry Was Black Sheep
of Family-Few of His Escapades
Given-Had to Go to Paris to Spend
Money Fast Enough.

Harry Thaw, slayer of Stanford
White in New York recently, has a
record as a spendthrift that few young
men, or older men, for that matter,
have equaled.
Harry Thaw's family is among the
most wealthy people of Pittsburg. His
father was, at the time of his death,
a multi-millionaire, who had made his
millions out of manufacturing indus
tries. Hundreds of the most valuable
acres in and around Pittsburg belong
to the Thaw family, says the Chicago
Tribune.
The Thaws are of Quaker origin,
and most of the members of the fam
lily adhere to the traditional religion
of the family. Harry Thaw has been,
since his early youth, the black sheep
of the family. When the elder Thaw
came to dispose of his millions pre-
vious to his death he cut Harry off
with $500 year because of his way
wardness. Mrs. Thaw later remedied
the discrepancy in the young mans
financial expectations by making him
an equal sharer win the other heirs
in the estate, thus insuring him an
annual income of $4,000.
After he came into his patrimony
through his mothers generosity Harry
Thaw cut wide swath in certain So
ciety circles of Pittsburg, New York.
London and Paris. He was known as
spender before he left Pittsbnrg for
New York. When he arrived at New
York he set himself the task of main
tanning his reputation and succeeded
beyond even his expectations. Here
are few things he is accredited with
doing after his arrival in New York:
He raced a cab down Broadway in
the middle of the day when Broadway
was crowded from curb to curb.
He threw theatrical performance
into panic by throwing bottles at a
soubrette who didn't sing to please
him.
He caused the proprietor to close I'D
famous night restaurant an hour
earlier because he stood on a table
and threw IS bills to all the walters.
He went to the Waldorf one night.
sat by himself at a magnificent table.
and ordered a $50 dinner. When it
was finished he sent for the chef and
gave him $25.
One night after the theater, when
he found his cabman asleep, he got
astride of the horse and drove the cab
and the sleeping cabman through the
most brilliantly lighted thoroughfares
of New York.
When a woman's eyes pleased him
he would send a pair of rubies to
match them, or emeralds, or SAP
phires, las the case might be.
He made it a point never to tin a
waiter less than IS, no matter what
was served.
Thaw couldn't spend his money fast
enough in New York, and so sought a
more expansive field for spectacular
extravaganza in Paris. lie succeeded
so well in the gay French capital that
IN single night he sprang into fame.
He gave dinner in midsummer to
about rs women. 1t cost $4,000. It
made Paris sit up and gasp.

SPORTING NEWS.

Harvard's varsity crew triumphed
over Yale at New London Friday
before the greatest crowd that ever
gathered there on a race day. Har
ward won, but Yale rowed a race
that will long live in the annals of
college sports. Not only from the
start, but until the last sixteenth of
a mile did the shells cease to lap each
other. The men in the rival boats
could see each other for more than
three miles and a half, as first one
coxswain and then the other called on
his crew. Harvard won the race by
less than two lengths and half. Her
time was 23:02; Yale's 23:11. While
the crews had the tide with them
they had a brisk quartering wind,
which made fast time impossible The
record for the course is 20:10, made
by Yale in 1888.
The race between Harvard and
Yale crews was the 10th that has
been rowed between the two big uni
versities, and the score between the
two now stands: Harvard IS, Yale
%. The first race was rowed in 1852
and was won by Harvard. In the last
20 years, however, Yale has won all
but four races, Harvard winning in
1885, 1891, 1899 and 1906. The record
time over the four mile course at
New London is 20:10, made by Yale
in 1888. Gordon Glass, son of Ches-
ter Glass, and for most of his boy
hood and young manhood a resident
of Spokane, was a member of the
victorious Harvard crew, rowing in
No. 5. Glass is in his sophomore year
at Harvard. He was the only west
erner in the Harvard boat.
Yale's representative crews in the
regatta with Harvard last Thursday
were two of them heavier than the
Crimson, but her varsity was the
lightest that has sat the shell in
years. Harvard had So more pounds
in her regular boat than Yale, or an
average of about seven pounds more
to the man. Yale's varsity eight
averaged 1881 pounds, while that
of Harvard was 1751s pounds. Rare
ly has Yale sent a varsity eight
which weighs less than an average of
10 pounds to the man into the big
race. Sometimes the crews average
up to IT'S pounds.

When Saloon Business Prospers
the People Suffer

The business argument that favors
the prosperity of the brewery and the
distillery, that favors the prosperity of
the organized forces of the liquor trade,
is the argument that always proves the
poverty, the destruction and the desper-
alton of the people. 1t is the one bust
ness among all other kinds of traffic
whose prosperity always indicates the
poverty and degradation of the people,
When any other business prospers in
the community, everybody is proud of
it. When we hear that the building
trade is prospecting we say that is evil
dence of prosperity and progress. When
we hear that the dry goods merchants
are growing rich, we say, GLOW pros
porous this community is becoming
When we hear of the farmer paying off
his debts and mortgages, we say, "What
splendid evidence of our country's pros
perity," and everybody rejoices. We
even rejoice when we hear that the
plumber is making money, for we say,
"Of course that is legitimate line of
trade and we are glad to hear of it,
But when we hear that the saloon trade
is prospecting, and that the brewers in
the city are getting rich, no one is pre-
pared to claim that that is any evidence
of prosperity and progress in that COM
munity. On the contrary, everybody
says, "That is surely an indication that
people in that community are going
backward, and that they are inviting
poverty and want and degradation and
ruin for themselves So it is a aar=-
