THAW DEFENSE.
Napoleon Of the West Already Has
Great Record In caIifornia-Has
No Desire for Political Office
An oId-SchooI Orator.

New York.-Delphin Michael Del
mas was brought into the limelight of
metropolitan life for the first time
when he assumed active charge Of
the defense of Harry X. Thaw. Every.
thing seemed to be against him. He
was called upon to stay the tide OF
adverse circumstances that was jeop-
ardizing the life of the young Pitts
burg millionaire. Mr.. Delmas was Q
stranger to many details of the prac-
tice in the New York courts. First he
showed his daring by ruthlessly cast
ing aside the debris of Thaw's case
and arranging campaign of his own.
Then he won a point and surprised
District Attorney Jerome by intro
ducing testimony tending to show that
Stanford White had threatened to kill
Thaw.
Mr. Delmas is Napoleon" Of the
west In more senses than one. Those
who know him best say he rather
prides himself on his resemblance to
the Corsican conqUeror There Is a
suggestion Of Napoleon in the poise
OF his head, his profile and the shape
OF his temples. His facial resem-
blance to Napoleon is emphasized by
his habit of wearing a pointed lock
OF hair over. his forehead, like that
seen in the portraits of the French
emperor. His friends In San Fran
cisco have twitted him on story that
he was, indeed, a descendant of Ma,
poleon. Some Californians even be
lieve that, Mr.. Delmas being Of French
extraction. there is some kinship be
tween the two men. When the story

Animal. Never Commit Suicide.

I do not believe that animals ever commit suicide. 1 do not believe that they have any notions of death, or take any note of time, or ever put up any bluff game, or ever deliberate togeth- ar. or form plans, or forecast the sea sons. They may practice deception, as when a bird feigns lameness or paral- ysis to decoy you away from her nest, but this, of course, Is instinctfve and not conscious deception. There is at times something that suggests cooper
 ation among them, as when wolves hunt in relays, as they are said to do. or when they hunt In couples, one en- gazing the quarry in front, while the other assaults it from the rear. or when quail roost upon the ground in ring, their tails to the center, their heads outward. or as when cattle or horses form a circle when attacked in the open by wild beasts, the cattle with their heads outward and the horses with their heels. Of course all this is instinctive and not the result of de liberation. The horse always turns his tail to the storm as well. and COWS and steers, if remember rightly, turn their heads.-John Burroughs in Outing.

The doll contest proved win ner for the carnival, netting about $89 Thursday evening the carnival committee and others who helped make the carnival success held dance in Memorial hall. Music was furnished by Orcutt's orchestra, and light refreshments were served. This occasion proved very enjoyable one, and those who participated certainly deserved the good time. The books during the fair were not pushed as hard as they might have been, but brought in $247. The baseball practice proved a winner. Yesterday noon Ed.

 Mrs. Elizabeth Barr, about 80 years old, died from the effects of dose of laudanum about noon Monday, and it is supposed that she took the dose with the intention of ending her life. Mrs. Barr lived in the basement of Mrs Ellen Parker's house on South Main street with her son, Benjamin Barr. Just before noon Mrs Parker was called downstairs by the son, who said that he thought his mother was dying, and it proved to be true. Dr. McQuaid, who has an office next door. was called on at once, but she was dead before he arrived. Assistant Medical Examiner O. W. Jackson was called, and it was found that she had taken enough of the contents of a half pint bottle of laudanum to cause a fatal result From appearances she had taken quite large quantity. Just what the motive was will prob ably never be learned, as she had been in very good health for woman of her age. and so far as could be learned had been about the house as usual. She leaves one son, Benjamin Barr, of Monson, and 8 daughter, Mrs. John T. Melbourne, of Stafford Springs.

A Little Indefinite.

A prominent New York lawyer says that in his earlier professional days he was glad to expand his slender income by bill collecting. On one occasion he had a bill against a man who incl dentally has since achieved a success which puts him beyond the necessity of such an indefinite statement as he made on that occasion. The young lawyer found him with his feet prop ped upon his desk, while he gazed dreamily at the ceiling through cloud of tobacco smoke.
 "But, really, sir, must insist that you give me some definite idea as to when you will settle." the lawyer said after having been gently rebuffed.
 The author consented to lower his eyes and to wave his pipe 'languidly.
 "Why. certainly, sir, though there seems to me to be a rather unneces- sary commotion about this trifle," he drawled. "I will pay the bill as soon as I think of it after receiving the money which a publisher will pay me in case he accepts the novel which I will write and send him just as soon as feel in. an energetic mood after Q really good idea for 8 plot has occur red to me- -Harper's Weekly.

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand ap- brooches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes p painful symptoms.
 This Is the most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglects the care of her health At this time invites disease and pain.
 When her system is in a deranged condition or she is predisposed to Apoplexy or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this r d likely to become active and with 8 host of nervous irritations make life a burden. At this time also cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work.
 Such warming symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, baclxaches, melancholia, dread of inn pending evil, palpitation of the heart, Irregularities, constipation and dizzi- ness are promptly needed by intel hgent women who are approaching the period of life when this gre a t change may be expected.

 "Indeed I will," was the cheerful re- ply. 'In fact. promise to you that will never commit another crime, but will lead an exemplary life to my dy- ing day"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu- tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition Of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is 1nflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hear ing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition Of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir. culars free.

Moral snobberv.

One of the commonest forms of snob- bishness is not social at all. but moral. Many people are moral snobs who have not a grain of social ambition. When Napoleon said, '1 am above mo- rality," he not only gave expression to what some great people have secretly thought about themselves, but to what thousands of their small admirers have openly said of them. They do not reflect, perhaps, as they justify their heroes, that to declare any one in the world above morality is to say that morality has ceased to exist, has been found out and exploded, nothing re maining but some utilitarian rules suit able for the guidance of mediocre minds. The moral law must be su- preme or nowhere. Yet this, as it seems to US, self evident proposition is by no means easy to apply. Most of us feel that for any one to lay too much stress upon the moral shortcom- ings of a great man is a sign of small mind or at least of defective education. We do not habitually speak of Nelson in respect of Lady Hamilton, of Burns in respect of his marriage, of Bacon in the matter of his proved corruption, of Coleridge in connection with his opium habit or of Charles Lamb in his cups as we should speak of Smith, Brown and Robinson in like circumstances. Must we, then, admit ourselves to be moral snobs? The prima facie evidence is very much against us-London Spectator

Aluminium.

Aluminium, it is generally known, is a metallic element found in clay and is the same material of which rubies, sapphires, emery and alum are made. It enters into the composition of large number of other materials, and 1t is estimated that in its various con- pounds aluminium forms about one twelfth of the crust of the earth Every brick in every building is said to be 30 per cent aluminium. It is produced by the decomposition of clay, which is salt composed of silicic acid combined with aluminium. The aluminium is separated from the silica by the appli- cation of electricity.
