NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Harry K.
Thaw has collected about him more
of the forces that may send him to
eternity. and it IS called good day.
Five Jurors in all have been named by
the State accepted by him, told off and
locked up against the trial. The case
Is still a clear tablet. no word OF evil
dence has been heard no impression
has come, vet these five amateur judges
have been cut off from the outer world
and held TO await the choosing of their
seven fellows.
Has Thaw gained a point? Has this
trea tment of these men, good and true.
caused any resentment in their minds?
ONLY once or twice. so far as 1 know,
have Jurors been isolated from all COM
mlnication in the early stages of a
criminal trial. Will they consider IL
reflection on their honesty? They were
selected with care, by the State, again
chosen by the District Attorney, taken
by Thaw and his counsel. Will they
think they should be trusted at least
until facts and law shall be placed be-
fore them on which they are to decide
whether or not a man shall live or die?
The Jury is a slow fuse The bring
ing together of its component parts is
a long and a cumbersome process, yet
nothing in its preparation will escape
the eye of Harry Kendall Thaw. He
scans the features Of the talesmen one
by one. is satisfied that this face or
that one shows an unbiased mind. then
he catches hitting expression, which,
after the last challenge is sped. causes
him to doubt his own intuition. An
other glance and hope returns.
The jury system is Inaccurate sThe
innocent are not always acquitted, the
guilty sometimes go unpunished. Much
of its work must be done over and
over again Francis Wellman says
that of the cases appealed. 43 per cent
are reversed and new trials ordered.

OBITUARY NOTES.
Captain William Gleeson-offlcer in
 the Old Ninth c. V.


 William Gleeson, one of the best known grocers of this city and vet eral of the civil war, died at his resi- dence, 69O State street shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 MT. Gleeson served in the Ninth regiment during the civil war and he was man liked and respected by all who knew him.
 MT. Gleeson was sixty-stx years old. William Gleeson was born in this city sixty-six years ago and had lived here all his life. As a boy he attended St. Patricks school and later went to the old Lancasterian school. He was the son of Dennis and Margaret Cleo son.

girl answered such a request about ev-

girl answered such a request about ev- cry nine minutes.
 This in itself may not seem to be very much but it must be borne in mind that this is not the only work that is being done by the information operators. In addition to this she is answering about 10 calls d day for the weather. And half that number of calls for the tide during the sum CT months. While No. 25 is often called upon to give out information regarding fires the demand on her for this information is cut down by the new system of giving it out to the subscribers regarding it direct from the switchboard.
 The duties of No. 25 by no means stop here however She is supposed to receive complaints of any nature and notices of line in trouble or
 out of order. Then come the count
 less requests for numbers that have
 been changed or which are not in the
 directory It Is an interesting fact
 that of those who call in for num-
 bers, the girl is able to find approxi- imately fifty per cent. in the telephone directory which is isued for the sub scribers use. It is easrer to ask 25 than to look it up and possibly the calling party may be in the dark or unable to read.
 In addition to these matters there are the requests that come in from children whose parents have tele- phones. Had the day on which the above record was taken been a school
 day. it would have been considerably larger These litle friends of "25" keep her busy between 8 and g o'clock giving the time, many of them proba- | bly, being unable to read the clock. A stormy day is also a gala one for the
 little ones who put in their requests | for information as to one session and | at Christmas time many of them call up to inquire as to whether Santa Claus has a telephone.
 Thus 1t may be seen that No. 25 is
 a very busy person and also that the Telephone company IS doing more for its patrons than merely furnishing them Wltn SeFVlce TOT WHICH SuDScrlD-
 CTS pay. It has in addition to this,
 an organized and effectlv7 bureau of information of which all sorts of in 1 formation Is requested. Occasionally
 8 subscriber is liable to lose his tenn
 per when he has to wait for "25" He
 would hardly do this were he aware of the duties that face her and the ex- tensive use that is made of these
 operators by the public.
