New York, March 13. James Clinch Smith, Stanford Whites brother-in- was called again as a witness in the Thaw trial to-day. MT Smith was tardy in arriving and Mir Jerome summoned Abraham Hummel to the stand. Humnel had scarcely taken his seat when Smith appeared. Thereupon Hummel was temporarily excused and Smith took his place in the witness chair.

 As remember the message said Mir Smith, 1t read Your evidence most important. Your attendance de- sired"

PANIC INVERTED
Lightning Struck Grand Theater at Chicago Comedian Crack
 cd Jokes to Quiet People
SOME THROWN DOWN

Chicago, March 13.-A dispatch from Newport, Ky, says: Between 400 and 500 persons, principally wo- men and children, in a state of panic when lightning struck the Grand the- ater here last night, were quieted and many were saved from death by the presence of mind of comedian per forming on the stage. As it was, scores of women and children were crushed under foot While the per- formance was in progress there was flash and the theater was in dark ness. The audience rose to its feet and made a rush for the exits. Vail ing women, screaming children and shouting men aroused the crowd to an excited frenzy.
 In the midst of the panic Albert Dashington, the comedian, appeared on the stage with a candle in his hand and began making jokes on the thunderbolt and subsequent dark ness. His words soon pacified the audience.

With the consent of the govern ed,' in the Philippines, but some of them seem to think that nothing can be done in the regulation of railroads without the consent of the railroad managers. The important part of that announcement, however, is that the railroad managers want the su- pervision of the railroads transferred to the federal government, that they nay avoid state legislation and this contradicts the presidents theory that the corporations favor state rights as means of avoiding federal control.
 ..The great corporations would much rather risk control by con- gress. which is far away from the people. than by state legislatures which are close to the people,"

MANY USES OF THE BANANA.
Product Of Entire Tree Utilized D,
 West Indian Natives.

In this country the banana is re garded mostly as a food product, but in the West Indies the natives find a use for the entire tree. and well it serves its many purposes. When the young coffee and cocoa plants need protection from the fierce rays of the sun banana leaves give the desired shelter. Physicians and nurses use the tender. unopened leaves for dressings. and the old leaves are made into twine and boxes- in Malay the stalks and leaves are made into a soap for laundry pur- poses. and solution forms a valuable salt. From banana juice and the skin of the fruit preparation is made for blackening purposes and the juice alec makes a good indelible Ink On the under side of . banana leaf . wax forms which is very valuable and is one of the export products of the island of Java In some coun- tries a dye stun is produced from the ashes of the fruit and leaves and the banana fiber is used in making manila hemp. from which rope and cordage are manufactured Tn SwitxerIand . very fine hat braid is made from this manila hemp.

STOLYPN STOPS II

St Petersburg, March 13.-Statis- tics published to-day regarding the drumhead court martial show that up to March 5, when their activity was suspended by Premier Stolypin on account of opening of parliament, 764 persons were executed, an aver age of almost five daily. The ma jority of the executions occurred in Poland and the Baltic provinces.
 Milan. Italy, March 13.--About 2,000 peasants were rendered home less at Borsano, not far from here, to-day by a fire which destroyed all the houses within very wide area. The only building left standing was the church, whose bell continued ringing for help until the last mo- ment, which the peasants considered to be a miracle.
 Fortunately all the houses de- stroyed were insured, which appar- ently made the population of the viii lage reluctant to assist in extinguish- ing the flames, the authorities being eventually obliged to have recourse to coercive measures. The difficulty experienced in combating the con- flagration, in spite of the fact that firemen and troops were sent to the assistance of the villagers from Milan, Gallarato, Legnano and Busto- Arsizio, was increased by the lack of water. The authorities also had to cope with a number of theives, who sacked the burning houses. while the peasants looked on, apparently part ly paralyzed by terror and the excess sively cold weather.

 Fire Losses Paid Out.

Hartford, March 13.-Frank Healy to-day made public statement of his own position in the matter of his removal from the office of tax com missioner. In a portion of the state- ment he says: ''I offer no apologies for my labors for the success of the republican candidates nor for the principles for which they stand, but I do contend that the case should have been decided on the evidence and that the power invested in the governor should not be used as a playto the galleries or to further the political ambition of certain gentle men in this state, who at the present time, are trying in every way within their power, to direct the pawns on the political chess board"
 Hartford, March 13.-The state ment of George L. Fox was made to
 the senate committee on contested elections this afternoon:
 As an election court is denied me by a technicality. ask your honora' ble body to make a finding of facts
 and report 1t to the senate, in answer
 to certain questions, viz:
 Did Senator Homan and his politi
 cal agent, Town. Clerk Frederick E
 Whitaker. either together or separ
 ately, within the two months before
 election. resort to large number oi
 saloons in the tenth district and treal
 the voters gathered there, in order te secure votes for Homan?
 Was not this action violation oi

 which prescribes that any senator
 who shall distribute gratuitousl,

 any liquors in order to secure theil
 votes. shall be considered guilty oi

What is patriotism? Is it narrow
affection for the spot where a man
was born? Are the very clods where
we tread entitled to this ardent prefer
ence because they are greener? No.

virtue, and It scars higher for its OBJ

Cling with all the enjoyments of life
and twisting itself with the minutest
flaments of the heart It Is thus we
obey the laws Of society. because they
are the laws of virtue. In their au-
thority we see not the array of force
and terror, but the venerable image
OF our country's honor. Every good
citizen makes that honor his own and
cherishes it not only as precious, but
as sacred. He is willing to risk his
life IN fts defense and is conscious that
he gains protection while he gives IT.
