dismissal Of negro troops by order Of
the president. Sergeant Israel Harris.
formerly Of Company d, who has OBJ
tanned employment as bank porter in
Boston, swore he did not know who did
the shooting, that he had been aroused
by the firing at midnight and found
all his men present upon the roll call.
Next morning on inspection all of the
guns and ammunition were found in
proper condition. On cross examina-
ton he admitted having heard Of trou-
BILE between the soldiers and the citi-
gems.
Sergeant Fraser, formerly of the
same company. who called the roll at
sunrise after fhp riOtinp said his FIRST
impression was that negro soldiers did
the shooting, but that after studying
the question he concluded that citizens

had shot up their own town in order to
obtain the removal of negro troops
forms of the disguise were obtained
when a portion of the Twenty sixth

acts as limitation to the other.

Thaw Skeletons In Court.
After the opening addresses It be-
came apparent that if the celebrated
trial of Harry Thaw at New York
should not result in the verdict of MUIR
der in the first degree 1t would be due
mainly to the supreme sacrifice of his;
wife and of his mother as witnesses
for the defense. The case for the
state was outlined with marked brew
ity and directness by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Garyan, who said it
would be shown that Thaw killed

ASSISTANT DlStTlcl Al IaLQerl naI night
torney Caravan Lawyer Gleason,
opening for the defense, said they
would submit evidence to prove that
Thaw was insane at the time of the
shooting, his act being the elimination
Of two years of mental upset, toward
which he had a hereditary tendency,
but which was impelled or provoked
by circumstances concerning his wife
and White which would be revealed on
the stand; also that Thaw thought he
was acting in self defense and as the
agent of Providence. Counsel would
not invoke the higher or unwritten
law in the slightest.
DIR. Wiley of Pittsburg, who was the
first witness for Thaw, made a failure
of his testimony as to the defendants
mental unsoundness, District Attorney
Jerome tangling him into hopeless con-
tradiction and inconsistency. This
caused the retirement of Gleason and
the recognition of Delmas as head
counsel for Thaw. Under the Delmas
generalship the defense showed great
er strength at once, and the witness
bullying tactics of Jerome were met
with the dignified poniard-like thrusts
of the Californian. One Bouman, door
keeper of the Madison Square theater,
told of hearing White say he would
shoot Thaw because the latter had
carried of Miss Nesbit after the play
some two years before the shooting
thus laying the first stone in the foun-
dalton of the self defense plea. A re-
porter who was an eyewitness said the
defendant appeared irrational after the
fatal shots.
The tragedy of the murder itself be-
came subordinate incident when Eve
ign, the much pictured young wife Of
The accused murderer, took the witness
stand and repeated with unsparing de-
tail the confession she had previously
made to Thaw before conserving to
marry him. 1t was the pitiful story of
her relations with Stanford White
Low he had taken her at the age of
sixteen to his giIded den, drugged her
into Inconsistencies and accomplished
her ruin. The object was to show the
tremendous strain thus placed upon
Tbaw's mind. During the recital jury

that is not much better than no kind

can get them; these do not make any
body warm. You might freeze to

of these fallen trees. il you had no

The Journey Of Life.

You will find this journey Of life Is
not always what it seems, nor that 1t
lies all the way through verdant val
legs and flOwery meadows. 1t is not
always bright with the sunlight of
pleasure. You will not find a. oed of
roses to recline upon every time you
are weary. Don't expect It, or you
will very likely be disappointed.
You will find that about the time the
path gets past the schOOlhOuse it
switches of into some rather rough
country. You will very probably
find some rough hills to climb and
some deep gullies to cross. The
briarS will tear your nice clothes and
the stones will wear out your fine
shoes, aud you will have blistered
heels and StOne-bruiSes in plenty, be-
fore you get through.
There is only one way to avoid all
this. That is to sit down., a whin-
ing beggar by the roadside, despised
and self-deSpiSing. But IL you are
going through you must brace your
self for hard climbing. You will find
plCLCy vi tooCo Wy Utlc way, UuU Utlcy
grow among thOrnS, and Ii you would
gather them you must not he afraid
OF a few scratches. All the fruits
worth having are rear the tops Of the
trees You can have your game sup
per and your quail on toast, too, but
the game is wild and the birds roust
high, and you can't put salt on their
tails to catch them. You al have
all this, we say, but just as likely aS
not when you get it you will have no
teeth to chew il with, SO you mustn't
build toe much Oh that.
Yes, young man, the glaciers of
life are hard to climb, and you will
never make the trip without a guide.
The name Of the guide is Work. ~
Tie yoursel. to him, young man, and
he will pull you through all right.
He is rouge and rugged, as all noun
taineerS are, but don't despiSe him
that account. Don't despiSe his
homely garments; he is a brave, true
hearted fellow, who led thousands
through, and will do the same
by you il you will trust him.
