THE TRAGEDY OF TWO MOTHERS.

l Day by day the miserable story of the Thaw family scandals is being unfolded. The degeneration of young Thaw which has it's appropriate eli max in the killing of another of his kind has required the tearing of the covering from the Thaw family skel- eton and the laying bare of all that the members of that unhappy family have endured through the escapades of a scapegrace son. AS if this hor- TOT were not enough. the family had to confess to a taint of insanity in the hope that this would save Harry Thaw from the electric chair.
 i The most pitiful feature of the trag- edy is the appearance of Evelyn Nes- bit Thaw on the witness stand to tell morbid crowd the narrative of her own unhappy career. Although young in years this poor woman has run the gamut of worldiness that would cause hardened wretches to blush. Her story, wrung from an agOnized heart, is that of girl who was practically sold by her own mother. Some blame attaches to Evelyn for the life she led, but back of it all is mother guilty of a monstrous wrong. Ac- cording to the daughters testimony she was deliberately transferred to Stanford White at the tender age of 16 years by her mother, and her subsequent career of dissipation be- gan with that episode.
 This tragedy is really the tragedy of two mothers. It was Mrs. Thaw who indulged her frivolous and indo- lent son in everything money could buy. It was she who watched him grow up in ignorance and profligacy and it was she who furnished him with more spending money than any man ought to have. There is noth- | ing to indicate that Harry Thaw was naturally depraved. He appears to have been a pretty decent sort of a fellow, considering the unlimited re- sources at hand for being a cad and blackguard. Under different sur roundings and with mother who was devoted to his education and training he might have become good man
 As it is he is the victim of family indulgence, and all the avenues o1
 sin were opened to him by the we,
 man who bore him.
 In this tragedy of two mothers we
 see a girl and boy sent to sure de- struction. On the one hand mother
 deliberately bartered her child to g
 noted roue for money. On the other
 hand mother. by neglect and ig'
