Publishers PressJ

Paris, Feb. 9.-Max Nordau, the
famous French criminologist, is one of
many students of crime on the CONT
nent who have refused fabulous sums
to go to New York and write up the
Thaw case from a scientific stand
point.
Il would not have my name connect
ed with the case for a million dol
lars" says Nordau. Several others
were as curt in their refusals. The
Partisan public are Unsuitable, howev-
er, in its thirst for detailed accounts
of the trial. Five columns of cable
dispatches from New York are print
ed daily.
The general belief in this capital is
that Thaw will probably be freed, or
at least not given the death penalty.
Since Mrs. Evelyn Thaw testified, the
gossip is that an American jury will
give the plea of justification more
weight.
All the actions of Thaw and White
while residing in Paris are reviewed
and discussed at length. Many mu-
sic hall artists have appeared at
newspaper offices with tales of their
alliances with and cruel treatment by
Thaw One woman who appears in
playhouse in the Rue Des Martyrs,
says Thaw not only delighted in par
boiling his women friends, but gave
them ecstasies of delight with mag
nificent presents, only to--seize the
gifts and hurl the recipients into de-
spair.
II intend says this woman, ITO
go to New York after the trial and sue
him for the diamonds and furs he gave
me and then stole from me-
White lived quietly in Paris among
architects of gentility and culture and
his actions were such that all the
miles of printed denunciation and
sloughs of sworn testimony have not
succeeded in allie mating the adherence
of his French friends.

Assistant Ticket Agent George Hous-

terday said that the traffic to the
western and California points, and the
southern resorts, eemed to be equally
divided this year. Many people have
gone to the Pacific coast this winter
while equally as many are sojourning
in the southern states. The traffic
to southern points has never been SO
heavy as this winter.

Fancy Baseball.

Last Friday at 4 O'Clock, two picked
mines of high school boys led by Prof,
Rusterholz and Supt. Woodburn,
played a very exciting game of base
ball at the fairgrounds.
Basehits, errors and S~trikeOutS fol-
lowed each other in wild p%rofusion
and at no moment was there any
dearth of cheering and coaching OF
the most approved style. The Rusty
ties got off in the lead by nearly
knocking Pitcher WOODBURY. out of
the box at the outset and the score
stood 4 to ! in their favor. In the
fifth inning Ringheim and Braith-
waite essayed to relieve Mr.. Ruster-
holz in the box but were oon driven
to tall tim Der by a fusilade of hits
that made the score stand IL to 4, the
other way, but in the sixth and sew
enth innings they worked hard and
brought it to a tie at IL. In the
eighth, each side got two o leav-
ing the score IL to Ii. AT this junction
all six Of the spectators departed for
supper and the mothers and wives of
the players Swarmed on the field and
insisted that the players go home,
which they accordingly did.
The tie is to be played off at some
date in the near future when each
side confidently expects to carry off
the victory, and it will be a game
worth any money to see. The LEAD
Err will have two full grown reporters
on the field to do both sides Justice.

A Bazaar.

The ladies aid society of the Luth-
eran church held a bazaar last week
beginning with a dinner on Thurs
day. A splendid display Of fancy art
icles greeted the visitor and a num-
Der of exceedingly pleasant ladies
made n feel at home.
Lunches were served every after
noon from Thursday to Saturday at
4 O'Clock, when preparation was made
for an elegant supper during a storm
OF sleet and snow, but a storm had no
effect on those who wanted to attend.
A fine musical program was rendered
each evening WHICH was heartily en-
joyed.
The final sale of fancy articles was
put over TO Monday when the most
successful bazaar ever held in Canton
came to an end. The proceeds ex-
ceeded expectations and resulted in a
total of nearly $4,000. The refresh
ments and fancy articles brought
$42O.S1, and the candy and orange
booth a trifie over 1913.
1t would be a difficult task to name
all the willing workers who did SO
much towards the success OF the bazaar
for the ladies all worked with a
hearty interest for success and many
of the gentlemen did yeomen service
helping the ladies', and up 10 tne laSu
hour on Tuesday We found Otto Her
Wig helping the ladies remove the fur

hope to continue their good work IN

dollar of debt paid. This is the spirit
that brings Christian unity and has
done so much towards bringing the
LutheraDs into a compact and har-
monious body. the result of which
will be one Of the finest churches in
the state.

President Thorson of the First Ma
tional bank loves to see trees, shrubs
and flowers grow everywhere and he
never gets weary of well doing or
planting. He has made Thorson Park
that beautiful elevation around the
standpipe, a thing of beauty filed
with many of the most beautiful
shrubs and flowers to be seen any
where. That charming little park on
the highest elevation around Canton
is a veritable paradise for the birds
and a place where q lovers heart
might gain strength to give the lips
power to say the sweetest things ever
said by man, and from the base of the
standpipe n can see many miles over
a landscapesunsurpassed for beauty in
the entire west. MI. Thorson says
that in target practice around the
park the boys have injured many Of
the most beautiful trees which he
hopes will never be repeated. He has
been planting trees and shrubs for
nearly q week. Out on his north
farm and along the farm lines outside
the fence he has a mile or more of APP
pie trees and walnuts growing for the
benefit Of the of the public and the
apple trees will begin bearing this
year. During the spring when the
roads were bad some people drove in
to the apple line and injured a num-
Der Of trees. Last Saturday he plant
ed a number of handsome plants and
Towering shrubs in the southeast
of the high school block and
had it fenced to protect them, and
still he has more to plant. He has
exhausted the catalog of one nursery
as to varieties.
