wit PLEAD WITH FITZGERALD
Little Likelihood That Judge Will
overrule Findings of Lunacy Com
Acknowledgements to Begin Mon
/; day and Case to Go to Jury We'd
: nesday or Thursday.

New York, April 5.-Much uncer-
tainty again invests the ThaW case.
Thaw is sane, according to the finding
OF the commission in lunacy, and he is
sd3udged quite competent to consult
his lawyers. But this triumph by him
over the prosecution may end with the
report and he may have to spend many
weary weeks Of Imprisonment before
his fate Is decided.
This contingency, if it should occur
will be because of District Attorney
Jerome's uncompromising attitude, for
he has determined to appeal from
Justice Fitzgerald's ruling that he cam
not inspect the minutes of the commits
sion. The appeal will he in the nature
Of an action to obtain view of the
Justices decision. 1t will be taken In
the appellate division of the supreme
court and by it Jerome will seek either
writ Of prohibition or writ of man
damus.
Such application will act as a stay
of proceedings, and if granted, will
halt the trial. which has reached its
last fphase, for perhaps weeks OF even
months. Jerome is proceeding on the
ground that he cannot, without having
examined the minutes, make an intelli-
gent argument against the adoption of
the commissions report. Fitzgerald
has not yet confirmed the report. but
doubtless will do so next Monday. The
Jury in the meantime is excused until
that day. What effect possibly long
S drawn out break in the case will be
upon Thaw remains to be seen. He
was decidedly elated when he learned
of the commissions report about him,
and 30 was his wife, and all the rest
OF his family.
AZ for his lawyers, they are conf
dent the district attorney stands little
chance of gaining his point and the
interruption of the trial much longer.

Not Yet Found

CLARKSBURG. Nov. 2G.--So far no
trace of James Wamsley and Maud
Lindsey has been found. 1t appears
that the young couple did not so to
Fafrmont. but left the interurban line
a short distance from that city and
took a different route with the hope
of their friends not being able to 10.
cate them. And 1t does seem that
they have been able to accomplish
their purpose.
Since Wamsley left the city 1t. has
developed that he Is a married man
and IS o interested in a divorce
case. his wife having recently insti.
tited proceedings against him. He
is also a member OF Company X. The
officers who were endeayorIng to To-
cate the couple returned to the city
Monday without learning anything
about them.

Offices at s Congress street. in that
city. has recently come out with a very
strong statement.
In the widespread. discussion over
Cooper's new theory and medicines
which has spread over the country SO
rapidly. Mfr. Hutchinson has taken the
side of those who say that Cooper's
theory is correct and his medicine all
that he claims.
Mr., Hutchinson.s emphatic state
ment,is as follows: ANY one afflicted
with chronic Ill health and a general
rundown condition caused by stomach
trouble. who does not try this mar
Cooper's medicine, is very foolish. l

Vanished

In the latter part of the mesozoic age
there was Il great inland ocean. spread
ing over a large part Of the present con-
tinent. The lands then above water
were covered with IL flora peculiar to
the times and were inhabited by some
of the animals which later distinguish
ed the cenozoic age. In the seas were
reptiles, fishes and turtles of gigantic
proportions. armed for offense or de-
Tense. There were also oysterlike bf-
valves. with enormous shells. three or
four feet in diameter, the. meat OF
which would have fed many people.
In time this great ocean, swarming
with vigorous life. disappeared. Noun
tain ranges and plains gradually arose,
casting forth the waters and leaving
the monsters to die aud bleach in
tertiary suns. As the waters remain
ing divided into smaller tracts they
gradually lost their saline stability.
The stronger monsters gorged OH the
weaker tribes until they, too, stranded
on rising sand bars, lost vitality and
persisted as the waters freshened. In
Imagination we can picture the stron.
gest, bereft of their food supply, at last
doundering in the shallow pools until
all remaining mired or starved.

How 10 Speak Correctly.

Say the alphabet aloud. and when
you have flushed ask yourself if every
letter would. be perfectly distinct and
Ineligible to any II who might be
listening. Here lies the fundamental
principle Of all speaking. Every ele-
ment of every spoken word should be
distinct and ineligible. In repeating
the alphabet each letter ought to make
a perfect escape from the lips of the
speaker. Doesi 1T make such an escape
when you say it? Do YOU send it out
vigorously? Watch yourself as you
speak each letter and g what hap
pens to it. If 1t gives you the n OF
hanging about your lips. or If 1t does
not seem absolutely to separate itself
from you. or If 1t drops into your throat,
say it again and will it to go boldly
out. Try to think of it as being out
side yourself as a thing apart. When
You succeed in thinking Of it in this
way, If you don't care for words or
II YOU have never thought about them,
YOU, will have taken the first step to-
ward the mastery Of good speech. To
speak we'll yon must love words and
their elements. You must love indiyid-
ual letters.-Hmper's Bazaar.

Lette, writina Made Easy.

"The picture postal card is not the
only factor that is reducing letter writ
ing to a lost art" said the woman who
has many correspondents. 1.-THE news
paper clipping is also a serious foe to
the we'll written letter. Almost every
day | get a heavy mail, and frequent
~ half the communications are made
up largely Of clippings from the daily
press. Persons who. ii obliged to do
their W writing. would express some
opinion on books. plays. clothes. vaca-
tons. clubs and current events can find
something OH those very subjects in the
daily paper. So. instead Of writing.
they simply cut opt the article that
meets their needs, paste it on to a sheet
of paper. say These are my senti-
ments, too and thus expeditiously con-
duct their correspondence.
81 must confess l am falling into
the same pernicious habit. Yesterday
l wanted to jolly a friend who has a
strong prediction for ghostly litera-
ture. l read a paragraph in a paper
that exactly expressed my meaning. 30
instead of digging into my own
thoughts l sent the clipping. To anoth-
r friend whom I wished to interest in
a book I sent another printed article
that admirably answered the purpose,
Since every subject can be found ade.
quately treated in the newspaper aud
on post cards it is no wonder that an
accomplished letter writer is now q
curiosity."-New York Press.
