Scarcely had Thaw the slayer of
White in New York roof garden been placed in
the Tombs before thousands gathered about the
place anxious to get glimpse Of the murderer.
When he was taken from the prison to the court
room the police almost had to fight their way
through the mass Of humanity, including many
young women wrggling and twisting to see Thaw,
and an army of photographers elbowed their way
through the crowd to get snapshots of the man.
At the courtroom immense crowd gathered, and
curiosity was rampant. The prisoner received
large patches of notes from women, and many sent
flowers, says the Birmingham News.
Think Of it! Here is man who spent his life
since he became OF age, fifteen years ago. in dissl.
patton and debauchery. He had broad opportuni.
ties to be something and do something. He sur.
rounded himself with visions element, squaDdered
thousands Of dollars annually on reckless, more
or less questionable set INDUCED himself in most
OF the unknown vices and was not only worthless
as member Of society, but source OF distress to
his family and evil influence to the public After
ten years OF debauchery in Paris, New York and
elsewhere during which he wasted fortune in
riotOus living he married chorus girl Of question
able character, and at least temporarily ended g
pitiabe record Of dissipation and vice by numbering
man about town who had been paying Thaw's wife
attentions for years, and from all accounts spent
more time hanging around the green rooms, OF
theaters than at home with his wife and family.
Both men happened to have money, and both spent
it freely. By reason Of their financial means and
family connections rather than their characters and
morals they went around in society from time to
time, and became known as members Of nearly all
the clubs and buffets and habtues Of roof gardens
and variety Of amusement resorts
Under these conditions we have q widespread ex-
hibitiOn Of maudin sentiment and eversh curiosity
as expressed in scented missives, bouquets and
other evidences of mushy sympathy and an abnor-
NAL desire for notoriety. A contemporary says
along this lines
stLet man or woman be on trial for murder with
AHA
lights Of scandals and unholy intimaces with red
stained aggers and bloody garments and the court
room will be crowded with morbid spectators cram

them But let the case be one in which one friend
less aborer kills another with pickax and nobody

City before the convention OF 1900 the Southern
delegates freely expressed their opposition to him,
and in the committee on resolutions and platform
they we're with great difficulty dissuaded from
throwing him overheard as presidential candidate.
The committee decided, at It's first meeting the
night Of the convention, by majority Of five not to
make free silver plank in the platform, and also
not to present imperialism as the paramount
issue Of the campaign. Mr.. Bryan had urged that
both OF these things be done. When the news Of
the cOmmittee's action was wired to him at Lincoln
he replied at midnight that unless his demands
we're complied with the convention would have to
get another candidate. Upon this the committee
took another vote, and the majority were still in
favor Of leaving these issues ont Of the platform
The majority this time, however, was only twO

earnestly to swing the committee into line They

Another motive for Mr.. Bryan's transparent dis
claimer OF further designs upon the presidency may
be guessed from his saving sense Of memory. He
can lot have forgotten that the Southern delegates
to the national conventions Of 1900 and 1904 were
strongly opposed to him. and he also knows that the
Southern states hold the balance of power in the
national Democracy and have dictated its nOmina-
tions for many years. In their caucuses in Kansas

For the cheerful grin
Will let you in
Where the kicker is never known.
Growl and the way looks dreary,
Laugh, and the path is bright,
For the welcome smile
Brings sunshine, while
A frown shuts out the light.
Sing, and the worlds harmonious,
Grumble, and things go wrong,
Yet all the time

by the slender majority OF one to accede to the
Nebraskan's ultmatum.
The memory OF this narrow escape iE quite sufi-
cient to give Mr. Bryan cause now, particularly in
view Of the fact that amid all the carefully worked
up acclaim for his candidacy in the North and West
the voice of the South is ominousy silent South
ern politicians, with an eye to the windward, may
participate in the greeting to the 'peerless" when
no sets foot on his native health, surrounded by
Tammanyites, but SO far the Southern states have
manifested enthusiasm over the event. They
may be whipped into line later as they in 1900,
but nobody will be able to make them say they
like it.
The dislike of the Southerners towards Bryan
dates back to his term in congress, when he refused
to support Crisp for speaker, and, it is alleged,
made some rather unfattering criticisms of the
South on that occasion Then again, the South is
intensely conservative and steady, and Bryan is
radical and iIlogically unstable at that.

baskets are Of the regular Indian style. and
the poor babies are strapped and laced into
them tight and snug
Some squaws hang their baskets to the

''One rather frisky pony, with a baby on
the horn Of his saddle, wanders from the
bunch and is Immediately surrounded by a
crowd OF dogs. Their barking starts him to
trot and with shrek the mother rushes
from her place in the line TO catch him.
But the pony doesn't want to be caught,
he goes-the basket tapping on his side
only making him run the harder. No one
seems sorry for the poor baby, whose yells
are drowned In the general burst Of laugh
ter that goes up.
Finally the strap that holds the basket
breaks-down comes poor baby, thump TO

The Indian appropriation act for the
1scal year beginning with July 1, 1906 and
ending with June 30, 1877, has passed both
chambers Of congress and is at the
present writing In the hands OF the joint
committee Of conference, where II will un-
dergo its finishing touches before being
presented once more 10 the two houses
for consideration In Its permanent form.
when last heard from, the members Of
the conference had agreed TO accept an
amendment adopted by the senate reading
as follows;
Mission schools on an Indian reservation
may, under rules and regulations pre-
scribed by the commissioner Of Indian
AFFAIRS, receive for such Indian children
duly enrolled therein, the rations OF food
and clothing to which said children would
be entitled under treaty stipulations IL
such children were living with their par
ents.
Two years ago an item was Incorporated
into the appropriation act which, according
70 It's authors was intended 10 convey the
same idea, but which couched it In this
form:
No part Of the moneys herein appro-
priated for fulfilling treaty stipulations
shall be available or expended unless cX-
pended without regard to the attendance
OF any beneficiary at any school other than
a government school.
