Large Crowd Assembled.

The largest crowd since Thaw was
first taken to the TOmbS had assembled
in the street outside, and the police
made a narrow passageway through 1t
for Mrs. Thaw to reach her carriage.
Her driver was compelled to force a
way through the crowd, which fairly
blocked the street.
While the elder Mrs. Thaw was IN
conversation with her son his wife,
Evelyn, remained seated in the corri-
dor about fifteen feet away from the
cell, where she could see mother and
son without being seen.
After the mothers departure young
Mrs. Thaw spent a few minutes with
her husband and then hurried to the
office of Mr. Hartridge, where a cOun-
Gil was held.

Money Was Paid.

Mrs Labaree asked that the strongest
measures be taken by the United States
government to see that if indemnity was
in the end exacted it should not be ex-
1Orted by the Persian government from
the innocent people of the province where
the murder occurred.
In spite of the protest, $4,000 was act

thirty-day period named in the ultimatum
of the United States had expired This
sum was three times greater than the
maximum ever paid by the Persian gov

Washington, July 16.-In the Persian
correspondence in the portion of the Red
Book on foreign relations, which was
made public today by the state depart
ment, is contained a strong protest ad-
dressed by Mrs. Mary Schauffler La
baree, formerly of Urumia, Persia, to
American Minister Richmond Pearson at
Ieheran, against the exaction by the
United States government of an indemnity
OF $So,0y0 for the murder of her hus-

Visit to Oicott.

After her visit to the Tombs Mrs.
William ThaW was driven to the office
of Louis Delafield, where she took part
in conference with William NJ K. Oh
colt, her son, Josiah c. Thaw; her
daughter, Mrs. George Carnegie, and
Louis L. Delafield Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
was not present.
The object of the conference was said
to be- first, to induce Olcott to again
take the main hand in handling the de-
Tense, and, second, to buttress the plans
for having Harry Thaw tried by a lu-
macy commission. 1t was regarded as
almost certain that Mr.. Olcott would
agree to re-enter the case in Difference
to the personal plea of Mrs. Thaw.
Mrs Harry K. Thaw returned TO the
Tombs later. accompanied by Mr.. Hart
ridge, and called on her husband. The
attorney remained only a short time,
but Mrs Thaw remained at the cell
about an hour. Thaw today declined
an invitation by the warden to eXer-

warden:

CHARLES HENDERSON
 OF TROY IN THE RACE
Sets Forth His Reasons for Belief That He Will Make an Efficient
 Railroad Commissioner.

Troy. January 91.-(speeial )-Charles Henderson, Mayor of Troy, announces to- day for associate railroad commissioner, subject to tine action of the democratic primafy.
 He makes the following statement of his position
 Tn announcing myself as a candidate for associate railroad commissioner, sub ject to the action of the democratic pri- mary. I will state that I shall stand un- equivocally for the principle of rate re- form.
 AS an occupant for the office for which I am a candidate I shall use every ef- fort within my ability to secure to each individual, industry and community that protection and security from the arbitrary dictates of monopoly to which they are entitled in accordance with our form of government
 Every one conversant with the present conditions must be impressed with the fact that the upward swing of the de- velopment in our state is so pronounced that an unwillingness by the transporta- ton companies to yield to the demand for reasonable and equitable rates is to act in obstruction to the great struggle for advancement. which our people are mak- ing.
 Tt is true we have made great progress in industrial lines during the past twenty years, but this was not accomplished by

BOY DOES SOME SHOOTING.
Fires Gun on Two Men and Strikes
 Them Both In Legs.

Annston, January a.-(Special.)- Harry Wright a youth about F years of age, has been arrested on the charge of as- sault with a gun on Calvin Loge and Joe Whitman. All three of the parties reside in Corning, which is now known to the police as the Wild and Woody Wset" and the shooting is said to be the result of quarrel early in the even ing. te
 From what information can be learned. the Wright boy got the worst end of the deal and returned home, secured shot gun and went to the scene of the quarrel. Loge and Whitman were standing side by side when, without warning, the boy fired one charge from the gun, hitting both men in the legs. Loge was the most severely injured, but no serious re- suits are anticipated. The police were notified of the shooting shortly after it happened and young Wright was placed under arrest on two separate charges. The residents of that section of the city are becoming justly alarmed at the man. ner in which the small boys are handling dangerous firearms and measures will be taken at once to prevent that all too com mon custom among the children Of that district.

 Hermis again holds second place with 127 pounds. Ort Wells and Oiseau are again given even weights at 125 pounds with Stalwart at the same figure. Artful, Harry Payne Whitney's 4-year-old Ham burg fare. regarded last year as the only serious rival to Sysonhy. is allotted 123 pounds, one more pound than she will have to carry in the Brighton, which she won last season. All of the better class of horses are entered in the Suburban and the scale down to 90 pounds.
 Weights for the Brooklyn handicap to be. run at the spring meeting at Graves end were also announced tonight, the al- lotments varying but little from those in the suburban previously scheduled. Sy- sonby again leads the list with 131 pounds. That the Burns handicap winner, Dr. Leggo, ran In that race to 13 pounds above his recent form, Is shown by the fact that Mir Vosburgh who gave him IL pounds in the Brighton, the handicap having been made before his winning race, has increased his allotment to 11S pounds in the Brooklyn.

"eLlTHEsr MOMENT" OF LIFE.
To Be Young, Strong, Good, King,

Perhaps this is the blithest moment of his life" write Vance Thompson in His Majesty the King of Spain,' in Ev erybodys for February ito be twenty years of age-the monarch of fair land and to ride abroad, from court to court. seeking the princess of his heart; it is like the things that come to pass in fairy tales. And indeed. his life so far has been little else. What character can T lad of his age have? He is frank, cordial and good. No vices have taken hold upon him. He has courage and affection and what passes-in kings-for wit and wis dom. Every year thousands of such boys come from the schools and colleges of every land and set about the business of life He would be more than prophet who could forecast the life of any one of them. Those who know Alfonso best can only say of him that he is promising young man-braVe and clean and good. His little life history far is summed up in lessons and sports and the parade of royalty. Alfonso XIII is the fifteenth Spanish sovereign who was crowned while still a boYs Each of those who came before had his own destiny and went to good or evil and of the last of these fifteen boy kings no man can say what the future will be. In 1898 he was too young to realize the tragic signii- canoe of the Spanish-American war. Since then there has come no great event to test him; but so far as he has had any influence 1t has been for the good of his country. His very youth has served him. The chivalrous Spaniards made peace around him. The republican agita ton has almost ceased-for who would rob child of his throne?-and the Carlst rebels have cried a truce. All this is a tribute to youth. His destiny, as the des- tiny of Spain, depends upon the man. hood into which he is entering.'

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature. but few realize
 it's value when taken into the human
 system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t is not drug at all but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after
 smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves
 the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
 further acts as a natural and eminently
 safe cathartic
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels it
 disinfeets the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best char coal and the most for the money. Is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other ssrmless antiseptlcs in tablet form or rather in the form Of large. pleasant tast.1g lozenges. the charcoal being mXed with honey.

 sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of 1t is. that no possible harm can
 result from their continued use. but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says q advise Stu arts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion, and purify
 the breath. mouth and throat; also be- lieve the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them: they cost but
 twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense patent preparation. yet I believe I get more and
 better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Log i enges than in any of the ordinary char coal tablets"
