CHIEF COUNSEL pELhiAs SAYS
CASE IS SIMILAR 10 TtIAToF

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Harry X.
Thaw's fight for life is to be made
much as Congressman Daniel E. Sick.
les won his fight for life and liberty
nearly half a century ago in Washing.
ton. Chief Counsel Delmas has in.
stanced that case as one which JUST.
fes his contention that the average
juryman upholds the force Of the SO.
called higher law" or "anwritten
law which permits man to slay the
destroyer of his home and Of his
wife's honor.
Both cases are similar in that the
assaIlant and his victim caught sight
of each other shortly before the shoot
ing. Harry Thaw caught sight of Stan.
ford White in Martins safe just be.
fore both, with their respective par
ties of friends. adjourned to the MadI.
son Square roof garden.
Thaw hurried away procured PTS
tol and, rejoining his wife and the 9th
ers Of HIS party, fingered moment at
their table before seeking out White
and killing him.
Sickles had heard his wife's confes.
sion of guilty friendship with Philip
Barton Key, then District Attorney Of
Washington, and was brooding over
her words when Key passed the win.
dow out of which the sticken husband
was gazing. The uRsuspecting Key
waved his handkerchief, the signal
Of Mrs. Sickles to join him at their
usual rendezvous. After a brief
search for weapon Sickles hurried
into the street, overlook Key and shot
him.
Counsel for Slckles contended that
the mental condition of sensitive,
high.strung man of honor who had
just caught sight OF the Individual
who had ruined his happiness and be-
smirChed his honor could not posi-
bly, be described as normal. Such a
man would necessarily be so beside
himself with battling emotions as to
be unaccountable. Congressman Sick
les took it for granted that Key. who
was his friend and was made welcome
at the sickles home, entertained only
an honorable liking for Mrs. Sickles
and he was convinced that his wife
was simply pleased to have the atten
ton Of an entertaining, educated and
well.bred cavalier. Long after rll2
rest of Washington was aware of tho
scandal he was still unsuspicious and
confding. The sickles trial was the
sensation of the day.

An Hour Before Dawn.

A curious mystery is the temporary
uneasfness of animals about an hoRr
before dawn, no matter at what hour
this occurs. Children turn and moan
elderly people awaken and turn over
for another sleep, cocks crow, dogs he
come uneasy and horses and cattle
moe about for short period, when
stiffness returns for a time. What is
the cause? Are the animals affected
by some magnetic wave which pre-.
ccdcs slTnlIght an hour or so. or is the
habit one Of herdity passed down
through numberleSs generations from
an original wild state. when III alert

Philadelphia Record.
Philadelphia prints more than one
quarter Of all the music in the Unit.
ed States, and the total amount Of it
is six times as great as 1t was Is
years ago. But, while Europe shows
no such Increase as that, this coun-
try's total output Is still less than
that OF Leipsic, Germany, and less
than that Of several other European
cities. In this city the amount Of in
strumental music printtd used to eX-
coed that of vocal music. This was
due, it is said, to the cheapening Of
pianos in recent years and the popu-
larity Of banjo and guitar music. Now,
however, the banjo, at least has lost
some Of It's popularity, and the gain
in vocal music-until it is about equal
to the Instrumental in quantity-is at
tribnted 10 the current prevalence Of
musical comedies. In vocal music the
comic and the sentimental keep about
even. The gain in religious music has
;not been so great as that in other

the Gibson art supplement gives every

For the time being the collection of
