New York, Feb. 13.-The opening
of the Thaw trial was delayed untfl
2 o'clock this afternoon, because the
wife of one of the jurors was stricI-
EN- with pneumonia last night, and
the juror accompanied by two other
members of the panel and two court
officers, left the court building this
morning for his wife's bedside. IL Is
not known how seriously III the wo-
man Is. In event of serious illness or
death of the jurors wife, IL is proba-
BILE the panel will be dismissed and
the case declared a mistrial.
Attorneys Clash.
phine NJ. Delmas came together to-
day in the severest clash between the
counsels that has yet occurred in the
Harry Thaw trial. The California at
torney. who is directing the defense.
took exceptions to certain statements
of the prosecuting officer and had in
serted in the record of the case a
protest against the misconduct OF
the learned district attorney"
Jerome hotly accused the defend
ants counsel of trying to instill into
the minds of the jury the implied
that. the operation per-
formed upon Evelyn Nesbit in 1903
before Thaw took her to Europe was
"of a criminal nature" when, cas- a
matter Of fact" he said, cit was for
appendicitis"
DeImas Takes Serious Objection.
Delmas called the attention OF
Justice Fitzgerald to this. saying
that the district attorney was stating
facts not in evidence and that "a
very serious exception must be taken
to his remark"
"send the jury out of the room il
you want to-" exclaimed Jerome."I
am going to get this thing straight. I
am not going to have these false i'm
pressions fostered before this jury
anu III ihc uiiuuo vi lhtoc WITNESSES.
During the tilt Delmas inquired of
the district attorney as to how he
came into possession of the knowl-
edge as to the character Of the oper-
alton upon Miss Nesbit without a vi
olation of confidence. Jerome said ne
had been told OF it by Miss Nesbit's
mother.
1t thus became known for the first
time, that the district attorney is in
possession of a long statement by
Mrs Holman, who now is in Pitts
burg but who, it has been reported
from time to time, might be called as
a witness by the state in rebuttal.
DR.. Evans was ON the stand all
day.
He detailed to the jury his obser-
vations and examinations of Thaw
during eight visits to the prisoner in
the Tombs and declared It to be his
opinion that Thaw was suffering from
"a brain storm or an explosive, or a
condition OF mental un-
Isoundness," at the time he shot ana
killed White.
Sanity Follows Insanity.
DR.. Evans gave many and elabo-
rate reasons for his opinion and dur
ing his examination Delmas deity
brought out the fact that whereas
Thaw was suffering from storm and

in GRIP OF GRIP
PADUCAH CAUGHT
Five Hundred Cases from Mild
to Severe Reported
Everybody Nearly Is Suffering with
"Co1d and Backache" and Doc
tors Are Overworked.
AND POLICEMEN.

Is the epidemic of grip and pneu-
monia which ravaged Chicago sweep
ing southwark?
In the remarkably mild winter Pa
ducah has experienced this year. a
new record will be made; but the sea-
son will be marked by an epidemic Of
grip and pneumonia unequalled be-
fore. There are probably 500 cases
of grip of various degrees Of severl-
lty.
January passed without any abnor-
NAL amount of sickness, except to-
ward the last of the month, and thus
far In February, the doctors have
been kept on the run answering
cases of the grip. 1t is now apparent
THAT the altogether unusual warm
weather in January was a seed time
and terminating period which is just
now ripening into an epidemic OF
sickness
Chicago only recently has emerged
from the worst epidemic of pneumon-
ia and other serious diseases in It's
Ihistory. Following the subsistence
of the. endemic there, many cities
south of Chicago are experiencing
similar epidemics, and the fact that
grip is infectious, indicates that the
epidemic is nationwide. Paducah is
in its wake
Many Are Sick.
Beautiful as the present weather
lis. more homes In Paducaih have sick
members who cannot enjoy it than
in many years. Few business houses
can report full forces at work. Many
of the cases are reported by the doc
tors as more malignant than usual.
The number of cases reported is
growing each day.
One doctor saad that most of the
cases he had seen we're a combina-
ton Of system chock full of malaria
and accumulated colds. In the pres
ent state of the epidemic, an ounce
LOT prevention more than equals a
pound of cure. Don't neglect cold.
II that is generally followed, the doc
tors will have less to do, but If you
really know the heart of the doctor,
he does not thirst after sickness. He
lis even an ardent advocate of the san
itary regulations which control the
roots OF epidemics.
The proportions the epidemic may
assume in Paducah are indefinite be-
cause the whole population has been
subject to the same unhealthful con-
ditions of a mild winter. Only the
degree in which preventive measures
promptly are adopted. Will limit the
sweep of the disease.
In the Schools.
Grip which seems to be epidemic in
the city schools is affecting the pupil
and teacher alike, and in two weeks
eight teachers have been unable to
lattend regularly on its account. Five
were out Monday before last and last
Monday three were out. OF this num-
Der one remains out. Miss Mabel
Mitchell, of the Jefferson school.
