WANT CASE SETTLED
WITHOUT A TRIAL
Friends of White on Side of
Mother of Thaw.
EACH INTEREST ANTAeoNlsTlc
Should All Resources Fail Thaw's
Mother Will Apply to Court for APP
pointment as His Legal Guardian So
She May Act With Free Hand.

New York, July 21-Following the
report Friday that Harry Thaw had
been reported insane by alienists en-
ployed to make preliminary examina-
tions by William K. Olcott it was as.
serted that although without co-opera-
tion the the friends of Stanford White
were On the side of the mother of the
prisoner in an effort to settle the case
without the necessity of a trial
Still far apart are the divergent in
terest8 in the case. Thaw, his wife
and Mr. Hartridge, his personal coun-
sci, are for a trial, where a plea of
justification on the "UnWritten law"
or emotional insanity" will be made.
The district attorney believes the ends
of justice would be served by a trial
Mrs. William Thaw and the firm of
Black OlcCtt, GTuber and Bonynge,
which she sill retains, although the
engagement is net recognized by her
son, are against the trial. Mrs. Thaw
has set to herself the task of bring
i2g her son to her way of thinking in
the mater Of retaining tne Ol4ott firm
and accepting advice regarding the
plea Of insanity. Thus far she has
gained little ground and her failure
has not served to increase the cor,
diality of feeling between herself and
her daughter-in-law, who Is support
ing his position.
Should the other resources fail, 1t
was said that the elder woman would
apply to the courts for an appointment
as her sons legal guardian on the
ground that he was mentally unable
to take care of himself She would
thus become a committee of his per
son and estate and have the right to
take any steps she might deem to his
advantage. The half dozen or more
prominent alienists who were retain
ed several weeks ago by Black, Oh
colt, Gruber and Bonynge, are not, it
is believed, to work for Thaw's new
lawyers or to make any report to
them. These alienists have. been re-
tanned by Mrs William Thaw.

The Dublin BrickIayers Are Up
AGAINST It.

Dublin, Ga, July 21.-A fight on the
Bricklayers' union has been started
here, and will not be stopped until
the union is routed out of existence.
Practically every mechanic in the
city has signed an agreement not to
work on any job inside the incorpo--
ate limits of Dublin where a member
of the Dublin Bricklayers' union is
employed-Spd nearly every contractor
in the city has agreed not to employ
a member of the union. In addition
to this, nearly all of the property
owners in Dublin have signed an
agreement not to work on a job where
a member of the union is employed.
The Dublin Bricklayers' union is
composed entirely of negroes. They
were organized a few years ago Ey
a white man who came to Dublin fGs'
that purpose. The members of this
union have become so arrogant that it
is deemed necessary to destroy the
union.

ARRIVED AT A GREAT TRUTH.
Conclusion Of Absent-Minded Man
That Was Very Natural.

Daniel Drew was an exceedingly abb
sent-minded man, as Depew In his
charming anecdotes has had occasion
to remind us. Here is a story, how
ever, that Depew got hold of:
Drew made a point of buying all
his own clothing, against repeated
protests from his wife, who was fire.
q~uently at her wits ends to know
how to manage his somewhat illy-as-
sorted wardrobe.
Daniel" she said one day, "you
must get some un~derdrawers." (She
spoke of course in the seclusion OF
their WI apartments.)
Yes, my DEAR" was the reply; and
that night Daniel came home with a
bundle containing undershirts. Under
shirts he had in great abundance, but
Of the article his wife had suggested
his buying the specimens on hand
were almost past wearing. The good
lady's patience was exhausted. When
next she prepared clean clothes for
him she laid out two u%ndershirts and
no underdrawers. When he had
dressed and gone out she found evil
dences of his having donned both gar
ments.
Among that days items in his note
book the following was subsequently
discovered:
"The underwear of to-day is not
what it used to be. Underdrawers are
made much too small in the legs-so
much so, in fact, that one has to slit
them up to make them go on. They
fit loosely about the waist and are not
an aid to a mans sitting down. In
fact they seem not at all suited to the
needs of the human frame."-Lippin-

sandpaper Block.

A very handy article for the tool
worker is a sandpaper block, which
may be made as follows: Take a
block of wood and cut it 5 inches long,
2h inches wide and "a of an inch
thick. Round off the edges of N
end of the block and the other end
bevel, that is, cut it ~diagonally instead
of straight. Then u two little Sits
called "rabbets," about one and a
half inches from each end, making
two little blocks to fit the "rabbets.'
A strip OF sandpaper the width of
the block should then be strenched
over the bottom and brought across
the ~"rabbets," where it is held in
place by the small blocks being put
over it. The sandpaper may be taken
out when worn and a fresh piece put
in.

Where is the boy who has not had

Like in the picture, you have only to
get a good sleigh and a hill covered
with snow, and start from the top,
when away o go rushing along
faster, and still faster, till you almost
lose you breath before you reach the
bottom; then jump up and pull your
sleigh to the top and repeat your
journey till you are tired. If you
want to be weatherwise during a
snowstorm, look to the west; if the
sky is red and the wind is north, you
are safe for a coasting trip next day.

This is made by rolling a SNOWFALL
until it gets too large to be moved,
you then cut away the sides and
place a smaller one on the top for
a head, carve out his nose and legs
and place two pieces of coal or stones
for his eyes. You can then make a
number of snowballs and pelt him
from a distance. trying to break his
nose and fill up his eyes.
