DESERVES MERCY AT LEAST.

The recent killing of Architect White
in the roof theater of Madison Square
Garden by Harry Kendall Thaw closes
one chapter in the life of three persons
who have received more than their
share of notoriety during the last few
years. .F
So far as the dead man is concerned
1t is impossible to weave a halo of
honor about his head for he has been
dissolute character for years.
Possessed of abundance of money and a
profession which brought him an en-
ormous income he has utilized his
ability for the worst purposes.
His acts and conduct has put to
shame the vilest denizens of the tender
loin in which he was a familiar char
acter. Nor has he stopped at the as
sociations of the worst elements of the
under world but by posing as the friend
of destitute actresses and these seek
ing to secure foot hold on the ladder
of stage fame he caused the ruin of
dozens of young women.
That he had bounded the wife of
Thaw and forced his attentions upon
her even in the presence of her hus-
band has not been denied. Under
these conditions there was sufficient to
provoke the wrath of the murderer to
lift his hand for the purpose of killing
the man who had made his wife's life
veritable hell.
1t is no eXtenuating circumstance
in favor of the dead man that before
her marriage, the wife of Thaw had
been one of his innumerable victims.
She had perfect right to leave the
life she bad lied and the man who
pursued her for the sole purpose of
again dragging her down deserved
little sympathy from the right think
ing people,
1t is indeed serious matter to
take the life of fellow being. 1t is
more serious matter to permit one
person and that one swayed by jeal-
ousy and hatred, to become the judge
of whether or not that life shall be
| taken. 1N @ft'
But if the stories of the persecu-
tons and insults offered Mrs. Thaw be
true, there is something in the act
which will commend the murderer to
mercy if not to acquittal.

crowded to its capacity. The same
followed its bringing out in the
United States This play had run
for over seven hundred nights in New
York City. Mr.. Ganthony has written
other plays, but it is doubtful if he
will ever be able to construct another
that will meet with such great favor
as has "a Massage from Mars" This
comedy will be seen here at the Met
ropolitan Wednesday, July 4th, when
it will be presented by large number
of the identical company that appear
ed in it in London and New York. Mr..
David Proctor is the star, and has
won for himself splendid reputation
as an actor of fine qualifications,
whose future is assured and whose
destiny seems without limit in the
theatrical horizon.

LOSING TRADE ADVANTAGES.

For some time it has been apparent
to the careful observer that there was
need of some change in the methods
by which we have been holding our
trade in the countries of South Amer
lea. 1t is now claimed by experts that
instead of holding that trade, we have
been gradually losing 1t to Dur more
aggressive and business like compel
itors, and that in time, unless some
thing is done to change the course of
events we must be driven from the

GETTING A CLAIM.

1t is becoming quite a serious mat
ter to prove up on claim now. Time
was when the matter of residence
counted but little and when almost
any sort of testimony was accepted to
prove that the improvements required
by law had been made. Itsiis not so
now. 1t was so in former years large
ly because there was tendency to
get the public land under ownership,
and It was regarded as something of
sacrifice for man to prove up on a
claim, especially if he were compelled
to live on it the statutory period. 90 Is
But since it has been found that
almost any sort of claim lis worth a
snug little start in life there have been
more people wanting themithan there
were claims, and SO the man who
would secure title to his land has
been compelled to comply strictly with

She's So Different.

She doesn't seem to want to sit
For hours together at my side.
She doesn't seem to care a bit
For things she cared for as bride
For moonlight walks and certain books
Chock full of mushy sentiment.
She doesn't care how much she looks.
She used to be SO different.
My word is not law to her,
AS she declared it long ago.
To my opinions she'd defer
And marvel at the things I know
She has opinions of her own,
And to maintain them she is bent.
Her obstinacy makes me groan,
She used to be so different.
She used to pet me quite lot, 6 TX.
But now she pets the kids instead.
She calls attention to the spot
:: That's slightly bald upon my head.
She loves me, but she doesn't let ~
The fact become too evident. 81
