What will the week in the Ohio leg
islature bring forth?
1t may be said with some confidence
that it will bring forth 2-cent rail-
road fare measure, or a rough house.
1t will also bring forth some other
important legislative matters, but the
2-cent fare bill, hasinl' already passed
the senate, is the only piece of import
ant legislation that is likely to be en-
acted. II requires action on the part
OF the house. but it first requires ac-
tlon on the part of tho railroads COM
mittee of the house.
From the temper of some Of the
members of the house and one or two
members of the committee, 1t is alto
gether probable that either the bill
which passed the senate will be re
ported out favorable within the week
or one OF the house bills, differing only
In detail. but still retaining its iden-
tity as 2-cent fare measure for
steam railroads will be Submitted.
There is disposition to disagree
with the eight miles feature of this
senate bill, and. there Is also dis
position on the part Of friends OF com
mercial travellers to demand, In addi-
ton. that a SIS mileage bill be added

DELAY THAW'S TRIAL.
ATTORNEYS FOR DEFENSE OF
WHITES MURDERER NOT
READY TO GO TO COURT.

NEW YORK, Nov 7.-Notwith-
standing expectations to the con-
trary, Harry X. Tbaw will not be
placed on trial this week for the
murder of Stanford White. It was
definitely learned today in the face
of the reports this morning that
Thaw's trial might begin this week
IN general sessions that there was no
prospect Of reaching the trial so
soon.
There are several reasons why the
case could not be reached for some
time. It was said today that the de-
fense was not yet ready TO 20 TO
trial. Although there are a number
Of lawyers who have been looking
after his interests since he has been

CLEMENCEAU'S
COMPLIMENT.

Clemenceau, the new French
premier, has the ready Jest, the
brilliant trait, the touches of ma
ture which one hardly ever-if ever
finds In the specifies of Hrst-class
second rates. Nobody can touch him
In spur-of-the-moment samples. The
complexion of his wit and OF his
mind generally is peculiarly Celtic.
He can be charmingly familiar. Thus,
when woman with pretty Saint
Hermine cap threw boquet into his
carriage he picked up the flowers,
doffed his hat and cried:
What pretty cap you weari !
never see cap like IL In Paris with
out wishing to stop the wearer and
say to her, Bon jour. mon pays"
O'Connell would have ventured on
complimenting country woman In
a crowd on her nice cap. But could
you imagine John Russell or a
Robert Peel prompted by aholiday
spirit or the exhilaration OF a pub
lie triumph to stoop SO low? BE as
sured that every Vendean woman
wearing a similar cap will hence
forth think kindly of Clemenceau.
even were the bishop OF La Rochelle
to declare him publicly an incar-
nation Of Satan.-London Truth.

ADVANTAGES OF
THE POOR BOY,

My most serious problem is how
can give my children the advantage
OF the poor mans" A popular mag
azine quotes rich man as saying
this.
Most rich men In this country have
themselves been sons OF poor men.
The old European laws OF primo
goniture and entail being imperative
WIN u.s. every man stands on his
feet and depends on his own head
and hands for his fortune.
Even the heir to wealth must use
ms own brains and energies To take
care or II, or 1t soon slips away. And
II Is a fact, which the rich man
quoted seems to have noticed. that
not all, nor most, children of the
rich have ability even TO hold wealth
dumped In their laps.
''"i oH VI Tlcn men have
notably made their inherited wealth
a great blessing to themselves and
mankind but they are precious few.
Call the roll of the men and wo-
men who have achieved the highest
fortune or fame I'm this country, and
an overwhelming majority will be
found to have come up from the
lower walks" OF life and to owe
their development OF character to
struggle and self-denial.
10 Is OF these twin blessings in dis
gulse that We gain strength, skill,
sympathy purpose.
Tho child pampered In idleness
and luxury knows little OF these vi
tai things. and when he meets in
contest the uncouth but toughened
boy from the farm or the side street,
he has poor chance Of holding his
own
We are accustomed to think OF
the advantages" OF the children
OF the rich But all history of human
life since the world began proves
that the real advantages" are on
the other side.

Atlantic City, N. j., Nov. THE
coroner's jury In its verdict today
holds the bridge tender responsible
for the accident of October 2Sth, and
assigns as the cause of the accident
that the rail on the draw had not
fallen into the pocket when the draw
was closed after letting through the
sloop Sinbad. The bridgeman failed
to fulfill his duties in not making sure
that the rail was down before he
signalled a clear track to the wreck
ed train. Daniel Stewart, the bridge
tender, will perhaps be arrested to-
morrow. The verdict was the result
of the testimony of metal expert who
examined the rail, bridge and trucks
of the first car, and testified that the
rail stuck up and was struck by the
pilot.
