.iIIAN DEFENSE RESTS

OF Lawyers.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SURPRISED
Defense Believes No Better Climax
Could Be Reached Than Mothers

sion More Than Verdict.

New York. March S.-There was an
other quick turn OF the cards In the
trial of Harry X Thaw when the de-
Tense announced that 1t had concluded
TO rest its case Dolphin VI. Delmas
chief OF the Thaw counsel. called Dis
trict Attorney Jerome on the telephone
and made the announcement.
The district attorney was. perhaps,
the most surprised man in New York
The sudden decision Of the defense
came after a conference Of Thaw s
lawyers in Mr. Dclmas Office II is
understood that lawyers Daniel
OReilly and Gleason were with Mr.
Delmas during the discussion as u
the best course to pursue. When an
agreement was reached Mr. Delmas
Immediately notified the district al.

busily al work on a hypothetical ques-
ton. which will be p-opOunded 10 the
experts for the state. There are nu
merous witnesses that could be called

state. who have been in court every
day since the trial opened. studying
Thaw Howard Nesbit brother OF
Mrs. Harry X Thaw. May Mackenzie
and others have been on call daily
and may be summoned. The general
supposition is however that adjourn
ment will be taken that Mr.. Jerome
may mature his plans
II was understood that the defense
will attempt 10 conclude its cross-ex-
animation speedily, dealing very brief
ly with the alienists How long Mr..
Jerome will take on rebuttal is an
other question OF importance. The
case may close with his rebuttal,
although the defense has a chance for
sur-Tebuttal
On good authority it was said that
Delmas would sum up for Thaw. This,
too has been a question under discus
sion
The close of the defense was with
the testimony Of Mrs William Thaw,
mother OF the defendant, and it was
said that at the conference IL was de-
cided that no better climax could have
been reached by the defense.
Several of Thaw's attorneys visited
him in the TOmbs, and he was mott
fed OF their decision, and cOncurred.
The question of a lunacy commits
sion looms prominent still. Mr.. .Je-
rome may ask for the appointment
of such a commission at any time and
this may halt proceedings.
Thaw's lawyers and the defendant
himself. il is said, have more fear OF
suspension of the trial in favor OF
a commission than a verdict by the
present jury. The defense is prepared
to fight such an appointment, how
ever.
Mrs. Harry Thaw visited her hus-
band. and remained long while. She
seemed bright and cheerful Mrs. Will
liam Thaw and her daughters, the
Countess of Yarmouth and Mrs. Car
negie. also visited Thaw.

LETTER TO a. FRICke
Fredericksburg Va

Dear Sir: II you should bake bread
that people like better than any other,
and at less cost by the day, you'd have
a pretty good business, wouldn't yon?
We have just such business az that
in paint; gallon goes further than any
other gallon OF paint in the country
that's bread at less cost by the day; but
the difference isn't so small as 1t Is IN
bread. And a job wears longer-that =
bread at less cost by the year. People
hate to paint it costs money to paint;
and they hate the fuss. They like our
bread by the year.
II your bread is better than anybody
else's. and costs less too, you've got a
good trade: for people do like good
bread; and people like money. ltdoesn Z
take long to find-out; give 'em time.
But you can't bake better-than any
body -else's bread for half the usual price
for q breakfast, can you?
Devoe is just such paint as that. The
price by the gallon or loaf is no matter.
Count by the day week month year life
time. Devoe is the bread. We hope
yours is as good.
Yours truly
"a FW DEVOE & co

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.

The work OF the 59th Congress is
over. and its record of work done has
passed into history. From many
points of view, and especially in the
way OF what may be termed radical
legislation. its work has been
unique. The work accomplished by
Congress. however, reflects only par
TALLY the temper OF the people s
minds. Possibly the most notable
work of the session was the passage
OF the railroad rate bill, and while
there is no little objection TO many
features of this bill on the part ofthe
railroads., yet the bill, in its present
form, does not fully reflect the views
OF probably large majority of the
people in their ideas as to the extent
to which the railroads ought to be
controlled. The trend OF the times
is to put an absolute check to corpo-
rate power, and there is no question
but that the people have gone ram
pant about it, and that if they were
given full sway in the matter OF
legislation with reference to cor
porations, gross injustice would
be done to property interests,
which would later serious
ly iDjure the people themselves.
Congress has, in our opinion, gone
far enough, for the present, in cater
ing to popular demand. Corporate
power has been an insidious and
slow growth and any sudden and
radical changes of present conditions
would be inimical to business and
the peoples interests generally. Re
forms are needed, and needed badly,
but they should be gradually adopt
ed in order that radical experiments,
resulting in more dangerous predlca-
ments than those from which the
people now suffer, or imagine they
suffer, may be avoided. The think
ing people OF this republic, therefore,
ought to return thanks to their reps
resenuatives that their customary
conservatism has held in check to a
safe degree this wild demand for sud
den and radical change.

Speaking of the names of towns
and their origins, Metropolis. H.. is
a monument to somebody's blunder.
Located at an historic point. whose
name is familiar to readers of his
tory and the romance of early west
ern development, the town bears a
name significant of nothing, a name
we'll chosen for the purposes Of OBJ
security
Old Fort Massac, Of Indian fame,
the resting. place of Aaron Burr. is.
perhaps, the most beautiful and
conspicuous promontory along the
shores of the Ohio river. The Daugh-
ters Of the American Revolution have
erected grand monument. the
breastworks are restored and mount
ed with brass pieces, a river wall
and terraces, drives, walks and spa
cious lawns nave made the place a
perfect delight. Shortly representa-
tives from all over Illinois and the
Mississippi valley will assemble
there. and the whole United States
will hear of the restoration of Fort
Massac.
Beside the old fort, Metropolis
H.. viii nestle, secure in its obscure
~ of appelation, even with all the
attention attracted to its park. The
majority of visitors, unable to re-
member two names in connection
with the fort. viii forget the pretty
little town, where they left the
train. The outside world will hear
nothing of Metropolis. That is why
Metropolis is suffering from a blum
der.
