aid. Thaw was not brought into the
courtroom An adjournment was
taken and the trial postponed until
Thursday morning, at which time
the impeachment Of n jury to try him
commenced.
Thaws defense. as stated by Del
mas and McPike, his attorneys, will
be emotional insanity. The lawyers
are confident that they can prove
Thaw was momentarily insane when
he killed White, although II is admit
ted by them that he is sane ut the
present time. Thaw does not agree
with the men who are to make a
fight for his life. He scouts the idea
of insanity entering into the proceed
ings In any way, shape or form, eth
er before, at the time, or after the
tragedy.
From proceedings SO far II Is quite
evident that Thaw intends to take a
very active part in the trial. He has
lately been studying up on noted
criminal trials and In the selection
of jurymen he made an. exhaustive
canvass of each, and no Juror was ac-
cepted unless with his approval. His
exhibition of stubbornness so far has
caused his attorneys some apprehen-
sion. and II Is whispered that no sur
prise would be expressed II one or
more Of them withdrew from the
case.
II will certainly he the case of the
century according to preparations
that are being made. over 200 APP
plications for seats have been made
by representatives Of newspapers.
and several English and French news
papers have sent men.
Just outside the courtroom the
Western Union Telegraph Company
has fitted up an Office with dozen
or more wires In readiness for sensa-
tional happenings that are sure to
come, for II is the intention of
Thaw's attorneys to bring out. II per-

Many noted criminal trials have
been held In the United States dur
ing the last decade, hut none have
excited the interest, not only In this
country but in foreign lands, as has
this trial of Harry X. Thaw.
On Thursday, January "a. tho
talesmen, 200 in number, nearly fill

was to be held. The small space left

the trees on the property would be
cut down II It remained In private
hands. Such "a contingency would
have been very serious for property
holders on Makiki plain. with tho
Tantalus slope deforested. there
would be nothing to hold back the
flood waters created by the heavy
rains that fall on Tantalus, and at
any time the water might have come
down in such volume as to cause
great damage.

As regards the value Of the prop

Territory has been assessing II at

strange for the Government to go
back on It's own assessment values
and claim that the property is WORTH
less that It has been making the own
ers pay taxes on for some years.
II cant see, said Mr.. Pratt. that
II makes any difference whether
those who offered the property in ex-
change for the Lanai lands got It for
less than It's value or not. That does
not affect the real value of the land"

a buzz Of excitement went through
the courtroom when the Court an
nounced that accepted jurors would
be kept In custody from the time OF
their acceptance until the close Of
the trial There were hut two out OF
nineteen prospective jurors who sue
ceeded In running the blockade OF
rapid-fire questions of opposing
counsel.
All of the talesmen who were ex-
amined seemed anxious to serve on
the jury that shall pass on the JUS
tice of Thaw's claim To commit muir
der under the circumstances set
forth.
District Attorney Jerome PERSONAL
~ conducted the examination of the
talesmen. Two talesmen who gave
their business as architects were per-
emptorily challenged by the defense.
The usual questions were propoun.
ded to the talesmcn. The exact
status Of insanity. regarding its re-
sponsibility for crime. was explained
by jerome to each talcsman separate
ly.
Doctors Mcdonald. Flint and Ma
bin were given seats near the clerk =
desk. They are noted alienists and
will he witnesses for the prosecution.
Young Mrs. Thaw was present at
both sessions and seemed to take a
keen interest in every question put
to the talesmen. Aside from the
members OF the immediate family
there were only four women In the
courtroom.
The two jurors selected are ID. u.
SWith. retired umbrella msnufac-
turcr, and Chas. II. Fecke, "a team
stcr. They were turned over to the
bailin.
At the end of the second days ex-
animation of talcsmen three more
jurors had passed the broadside of
test questions. The day passed with
out any exciting incident. Thaw
still exercised his right in accepting
men that may send him to eternity.
He scans the faces of each talcsman
In search of some fitting expression
that he might construe as going
against him.
The three Jurors selected yester-
day are II. G. Harvey. "A piano deal
er: Geo. Pfaff. dealer in machinists'
supplies. Arthur S. Campbell. a su.
perintendent of telegraph. These
three jurors were locked up with the
first two selected on the previous day.
The restraining OF selected jurors
from their liberty is within the juris-
diction of the Judge but is a practice
which has not been put into force
before for nearly thirty years.

The First Stove.

The most important uses of fire
were taught by fire itself AS the
primitive man stood near the flames
of the burning tree and felt their
pleasant glow he learned that fire
may add to bodily comfort; and
when the flames swept through for
est and overlook a deer and baked
1t. he learned that fire might be used
to improve the quality of his food.
TIC hint was not lost. He took q
burning torch to his cave or hut and
kindled him a fire on his floor OF
earth His dwelling filled with
smoke, but he could endure the dis
comfort for the sake of the tooth
someness Of the cooked meats. At
ter a time a hole was made in the
roof of the hut, and through this
hole the smoke passed out. Here was
the first stove. The primitive store
was the entire house; the floor was
tie fireplace and the hole in the roof
was the chimney. The word stove"
originally meant "a heated room"

GROWTH OF CHURCHES IN 1905
Roman Catholics Made Largest Net
Gain. EpiscopaIians Highest Rate.

S~N~AhOA-NC
Gain. Episcopalians Highest Rate.
Some figures on the relative
strength and growth OF the various
Churches of the United States are
given by Dr. Carroll IN the Chris
tian Advocate.
In the year 1905 total number OF
communicates was 31,14S,445, a net
gain for that year OF 519.155. This
membership was distributed as fol-
lows: Roman Catholics first, with
1878, 496, net gain 192,122; Meth
odists second, with 6,429,815, gain
101,S92 Baptists come third, with
4,974,O47, gain 1861; Lutherans
fourth, with 1,S41.346. gain 81 $50;
Presbyterians fifth, with 1,723,S71.
gain 26,174; Disciples of Christ
sixth, with 1,235,294, gain OF 1,42S;
Episcopalians seventh, with S27.127,
gain of 19,203; Congregationalists
eighth, with 6S7.042, gain, 1921;
Reformed Dutch and GERMANY
ninth, with 405, 022, gain 1921.
The percentage of gain is inter
esting, for the largest denominations
are not, except in the case of the
Methodists, enjoying the same rate
o. growth as some of the smaller
ones In their percentage of increase
thev stand in this order: Lutheran.
OPS; Episcopalians, OPS; Congrega-
ga ionalists, .019; Roman Catholics,
.01!, Methodists, OBS; Presbyter-
ians. obs; Baptists, Ola; Reformed.
00S; Disciples of Christ. .001.
The large rate of increase of the
Lutheran denominatiqs, may be part
" accounted for by iiffnigrason.
Methodists aud Bapticts are doing
most for the negro Of the South and
are very strong IN that section. The
Baptist growth in the North, where
,hey number 1075.833, was but
4,SG4; but the Methodist Episcopal
Church North, 2.910,779 strong,
had a growth of 62.847

Census Taking IN China.

In China an odd way of taking the
census prevails. The cities and towns
are arranged in groups of ten houses.
The oldest man in each group visits
the nine houses. which, with his
own. makes up the group, counts the
members of every family. and sends
his report to the Imperial Census
Bureau.
