JUSTIFEABLE HOMICIDE
Reason for Belief That This VIII Now
be Thaw's Plea.

New York, June 27.--The Tribune, af-
ter commenting on the alienists' deci-
sion that Thaw is sane, will say to-
morrow:
This fact it is now believed will
change the defense, and will cause
Thaw eventually to be brought to trial
under indictment for homicide.
I'm the belief Of the defence that
Thaw has an excellent chance of ac-
quittal, various episodes in the life of
Stanford White. quoted yesterday in
dicate that a defense of juttifiable hom-
icide will be entered, and that Thaw
may be able to prove that the shooting
was justifiable. 1t is understood that
the famous case of Major General Dan
lei e. Sickles, who shot Barton s. Key,
in Washington, will be held up as a
precedent. Sickles was acquitted with
out the jury leaving the box, it being
held at the time that he was justified.

Reported to the Senate and the Measure
Passed

Washington, June 27.-The pure food
bill was agreed upon by the conferees
for the senate just efore adjournment.
The house bill was taken as a basis of
agreement and into this were grated
many of the important sections of the

great attention by Sem to McCumber
and Reybursn, extending over three
sessions of congress.

the bills were not materially different.

compel the person selling drugs or ar
ticles of food to furnish samples of such

UNCLE SANS WASTE PAPER.
1t Brings Him In n Tribe of About
$4,000 Year.

$OOgOOO ~
Economy is said to consist in the
care of trifes, and of this the waste
paper department of the United States
governments stationery office affords
an excellent example.
An official of this department while
in New York recently gave an interest
ing account of the system.
mo less than $4,000 is saved an
nually by the government waste paper
basket" he said. at was not so very
long ago that the waste paper of the
government offices was an unrecog-
nized perquisite of the heads of depart
ments and many of the minor Off
Gals, with the result that no small
quantity of good stationery was
thrown away, and in some cases large
amounts of government property were
systematically misapprOpriated Not
only was this the case, but papers of
an important and confidential charac-
ter found their way into the hands of
outsiders, sometimes with very I'M
pleasant consequences.
"a visit to the waste paper depart
ment would forcibly illustrate to you
the enormous amount of correspond
ence and clerical work with which the
various government offices have to
deal.
ITO the departmental is really a
large warehouse-come 5000 tons of
waste paper every year, the average
days receipts varying from ten to
twenty tons. How vast is this amount
will be better realized from the fact
that If a single weeks waste paper
from the government offices was
thrown into Washington square it
would come pretty near burying the
Washington monument. Vast as the
present quantity is, it Is steadily in
creasing at the rate of about twenty
tons every year.
1.-THE paper received Is of the most
old letters, state documents, printed
matter, old account books and the like.
On receipt it Is at once handed over
to the sorters, who classify 1t under
twelve heads and pack it separately in
large sacks. The sacks are then ship
ped to pulp mill. Confidential docu-
ments receive careful and effectual
treatment They are thoroughly sliced
up by cutting machine. When pa
pers of an especially secret character
are dealt with the middle section of
each pile is taken out and placed in a
separate receptacle from the rest The
cut fragments are then placed In a
sealed sack and are conveyed in charge
Of an officer to the pulp mill and there
reduced to pulp under his eye.
Another section of the waste paper
department contains the used ribbon
from the Morse telegraph instruments.
This pours in at the rate of about 1900
hundredweight per week, measuring
approximately 900 miles.-New York

Bradford is not large place,
we grant you, but we should
have a community of interests
the same as a larger place. Our
friends in st. Adams, Waterbury
and other places have been hav-
ing "Get together" banquets, for
the purpose of promoting good
fellowship among the business
and professional men of the town,
with view of getting together
to help along the progress OF
their own home place. Why
shouldn't Bradford have a Get
together" banquet? We have
very reason and need of such an
occasion. Our interests are all
closely united, and there is no
reason why there should be a
division into cliques and oppoS-
inc factions when the interests
of all are being considered. The
sooner that we realize that the
welfare of one is the welfare of
all, the sooner will added pros
peritv come more than half way
to greet us. A "Get together
banquet is a tirst-rate beginner
along this line.
