UNUSUAL MOVE FOR THAW.

says ThaY Wiii Never bc Tried.

The World to-morrow will say. liar ry Thaw will never be placed on trial for the murder of Stanford White. An application will be made for the appointment of a commission to in- quire into his sanity There is no doubt that he will be declared insane and sent to the Hospital for the Grim inal Insane at Matteawan.
 "This authoritative statement was madeto the World last night immedi- ately after the conclusion of a con- ference st the Hotel Lorraine by one who had been present. At this con- ference, which began shortly after o'clock, were Mrs. William Thaw, mother of Harry Thaw; Lewis l.. Dela- field, her personal counsel William M. K. Olcott of Black, Olcott Gruber & Bonyngc, young Thaws former coun- sel. Josiah Thaw and George L. Car negie. son and son-in-law of Mrs. Will liam Thaw. Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw ] was present, but took no part in the cconference.
 " Mrs. William Thaw met Judge ol- Scott for the first time and insisted up- on his resuming the defense of her son, which she said he could direct in any manner he saw fit Mir. Olcitt promised to take the matter under ad- visement, but said he could give no final answer until he had conferred with the other members of his firm. The probabilities are that the firm will again take up the direction of the de- fense of Harry Thaw.
 "Mr. Olcott gave Mrs Thaw informa- tion which convinced her that her son was mentally irresponsible on the night he killed White. He said that a number of the greatest alienists in the country who had been retained by the the defense were honestly convinced that the young man was irrational.
 District Attorney Jerome is not ex- pected to interpose any serious objec- tton to the appointment of a commits sion to inquire into Harry Thaw's san ity. Some of the alienists retained by the district attorney have reported to him their belief that Thaw is mentally Irresponsible. Many friends of stan ford White have asked the district at- torney to consent to such a disposi- tion of the case rather than have the notoriety of trial.

 by the time we got there the gold ill., | ing had been shaken out of our teeth.
 Gee! Tn half an hour I could not see to collect the other parts of me be- cause my eyes were shaken loose. Tt is my opinion that there is con siderable of hot air about the old coun- try's naval outfit Ships that figure in 1 the prospectus as the genuine block 1 tin, and only assay out as painted over wood, make big four-flusher of a lnavy any way. There may 4e parts of plymouth and sections of the Channel

 old stock.

 q have had a fried sole for break fast, and 1t is Londonberg for mine till the fall Little Willie is going to have the time of his life over here, and take in everything on both sides of the troll ley line, so when Broadway school opens up again in September he will be so English he will be standing knee deep in dropped matches, and won't be able to see a joke without assistance.
 Tt is dead easy for me to get next to this little summer resort, for my folks come of English stock, and to tell the cold truth l was raised this side myself. But after a man has been located in New York city for an unin- corrupted spell aggregating almost two months, like l have been, he has been there all his life, His broad As and his philosophy get narrower He has more to do and less to think about His part is forever past. and the days when he used to take his bath in bath tub.

 Now that l am over this side again have the same curious sensation of strangeness on returning to once fla miliar surroundings that an egg would have. I crossed by the American line ferry. I wanted to land at Plymouth and enjoy the sensation of feeling like a Pilgrim Father coming back to the pace he started from. And l want to say right here and now that when an American lands at Plymouth he gets a flashlight revelation of the reasons the crew and cargo Of the Mayf1oWer had for quitting 1t. Plymouth as a jump ing-off place can give cards and spades to Hoboken. Outside of the fa- vored sections on the exhaust side of Pittsburg 1t is the smokiest city I ever was up against.
 Tt was all doped out in the instruc- tions that passengers were to be land ed at Plymouth from a well appointed tender at ocean Qpay. Ocean Quay! You expect something from a name like that, and all across the Atltntic had been trying to feel worthy of landing there. I suppose 1t is the un- eradicated remnant of English in me. but Ocean Quay set wheels going to my imagination, and l had been hand ing out a strong line of talk to the other Americans in the smoking room

THE CITY MUSIC.

Two Later Strains in It That Are Pe-
 culliarly Modern and Stirring.
 Peculiarly modern among the city's sounds are the res onant rattle of the peneumatic riveters, and the incessant purring of the pneumatic stone carving tool the first coming down to us from the lofty skeleton of some steel frame building under construction and the latter from the stone front of build ling upon which men are doing the finish carving.
 Both sounds make music so full of energy and hustle that it may cause men to move faster when they hear it. Let these tools be in use where they can be seen nearby and men will halte at the sound of them to look on. Familiar as they have now become they still seem marvellous, so everlastingly does the pneumatic 9riveter beat the old time riveting hammer and the pneu- matio stone carving tool the old time nallet and chisel
 Here were carvers, a canvas curtain hung behind them, sanding on the side- walk in front of a new building on lower Broadway carving a pattern marked on a course of stone set in the building down there close to the ground pretty much all stone carving on the buildings is done nowadays after the stone has been put in place.
 once the carving was done before the stone was brought to the ground; now they carve capitals, anything, after the stone has been set in the building and do in days, or in hours, with modern tools, work that used to take weeks
 It was granite course that these men were at work upon in that build ing in lower Broadway, while groupe of men stood at the open ends of the cur- tains hung behind the carvers and watched. Hard stone, granite; but the pneumatic tools making a hundred strokes where a man with a mallet and chisel could have made one bit into it all the same As the lockers on stood and watched with interest the manner of handling the tools and listened to their inoessant purring they could see the carving grow.
