past the bailiff at the door. Monday
morning the women stOrmed the por-
tails again, but in vain.
In the belief that young Mrs. ThaW
was again to be the central figure
in the famous trial, the women were
anxious to hear the final details of the
life narrative of the prisoners wife.
Their indignation knew no bounds
when the court officers repulsed them
with the statement that the courts s
order excluded every one except such
as were working newspapers reporters
Many of those who had occupied the
front seats during the last week were
led to believe that the order could noi
possibly include them, and they re-
manned about the corridors for a
long time in the hope that there might
be some relaxation of the rules. They
were doomed to disappointment, and
at last, reluctantly left the building
AS a result of the order barring all
women there were several rows of va
cant seats whes4 Justice Fitzgerald
took his place on the bench and Har
ry Thaw was called to the bar. The
prisoner walked to his place at the
counsels table without single
friendly nod to greet him. No mem
ber Of his family was in court.
That the defense would proceed with
the struggle to have Harry Thaw g
will accepted in evidence, as testi-
mony to his unsoundness of mind
was indicated by Mr. Delmas, who
asked that j. d. Lyon be called as the
first witness of the day Mr. Lyon
was sworn, and stated that he had
lived in Pittsburg all his life and had
been engaged in the banking business
for more than quarter of CEN
tury. He is now connected with
the Union National bank.
You are acquainted with the de-
fendant, Harry K. Thaw?" asked Mr.
Delmas.
Here Mr.. Jerome objected He pro-
tested against the defense proceed
ing with a new witness While the ex-
animation of Mrs Evelyn Thaw re-
mains uncompleted. Mr.. Jerome,
after a short whispered conference
with Mr.. Delmas, withdrew his OBJ
lection, and Mr. Lyon was permit
ted to give his testimony.
Mr.. Lyon testified that he held the
will till the latter part of November,
1906
John B. Gleason, of Thaw's coun-
sci. was called to the stand Mr..
Gleason said the will had been in his
possession since December IL, 1906.
Mrs. Thaw was recalled. Mr..

ENGLISH ARSENAL

Huge Hole In the Ground Is All

SITE OF wooLwIcH ARSENAL
Conclusion Was Felt In Towns Forty
Miles Distant-No Loss of Life, but
Buildings for Miles Around Were
Generally Wrecked.

WoOlWich, Eng. Feb. 11.-A huge
hole in the ground is all that marks
the site of the chemical research de-
partment of the Woolwich arsenal and
the cordite magazine, which exploded
early Monday morning with such ter
rible force that the concussion was
felt in towns forty miles distant, and
the whole countryside was thrown
into panic, owing to the belief that
violent earthquake occurred. There
was no loss of life, but buildings for
miles around were wrecked.
Within few minutes after the ex-
plosion, thousands of terror stricken
people, many of them half clad, be-
gan to throng towards the arsenal.
There were large holes in the walls
of neighboring houses and on all sides
shattered doors and windows and
wrecked roofs testified to the appal-
ling force of the explosion.
The arsenal and magazine were
practically swept away, the big blocks
of stone of which they were construct
ed, being scattered for hundreds of
yards on all sides
Yesterday being Sunday, there was
no night shift working, hence the alb
sence of casualties.
The people of Bainbridge, 40 miles
distant, were thrown into panic
by the shock of the explosion, while
in nearer by towns windows were
shattered and chimneys demolished.
The cause Of the disaster has not
yet been ascertained.

or Interest To Women.

To such women as are not seriously ouG
of health, but who have exacting duties
to perform, either in the way of house
hold cares or in social duties and func.
lions which seriously tax their strength,
as we'll as to nursing mothers, DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has proved most
valuable supporting tonic and invigorat-
Ing nervine. BY its timely use, much
serious sickness and suffering may be
avoided. The operating table and the
surgeons knife, would, it is believed,
seldom have to be employed if this most
valuable woman's remedy were resorted
to in good time The "Favorite Prescrip-
tion" has proven great boon to expectant
mothers by preparing the system for the
coming of baby, thereby rendering child
birth safe, easy, and almost painless.
Bear in mind, please that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not a secret or
patent medicine, against which the most
intelligent people are quite naturally
averse, because of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,
but Is a MEDICINE OF KNOWN COMPOST
TIoN, a full list of all its ingredients being
printed, in plain English, on every bottle
wrapper. An examination of this list Of
ingredients will disclose the fact that it is
non-alcoholic in its composition, chemic-
ally pure, triple-refned glycerine taking
the place of the commonly used alcohol,
in ITS makeup. In this connection it
may not be out of place to state that the
UFayorite Prescription of DIR: Pierce is
the only medicine put up for the cure OF
woman's peculiar weaknesses and all
ments, and sold through druggists, all
the ingredients of which have the I'M
animous endorsement of all the. Leading
medical writer's and teachers of all the
several schools of practice, and that too

old dietetic habits are resumed, suffering,
of course, speedily returns, to be again

time when the body revolts against this

the price has to be paid for past folly.

Hot Weather Tempers.

1t is much easier to keep good hatured
in cold weather than in hot. One may
be uncomfortable in cold weather, but
there is seldom the active irrItability
present that there is when the ther-
mometer begins to soar. Sometimes it
seems as if ones fortitude and powers of
endurance and self-control were of those
chemical compounds which evaporate and
disappear with a high degree of heat.
My heart opens with unfeigned SYM
pathy to those who detest hot weather.
and those tempers show this detestation
by putting forth thorns. The cold blasts
of winter may not tend to amiability,
but compared with the torrid breath of
summer they are as nothing in the way
OF provocation of plain. old-tashioned
crossness says Home Chat.
The housekeeper should make an es-
pecial study of hot-weather tactics. The
much-praised. much -bejeered simple life
should be followed as far as possible.
Pussy" dressing should be abjured.

About the Collecting Craze.

Every one in these days collects some
thing or other, or If they do not themselves
collect, they are generally interested-or
try to be interested-in the collections Of
other people, especially when those ''others"
happen to be world wide celebrities.
Miss Ellen Terry, with her usual en-
thusiasm, has for many years past made
collection Of the pinces- -nez and monocles
of famous men,
carved oak, inlaid furniture and old-time
gloves are among the many things that en-
thusiastic twentieth-century collectors go
almost crazy over
Broken china Is another hobby that can
give a great deal of pleasure for COM
paratively small outlay, says Home Chat.
An old Dresden china cupid complete
would be a very expensive thing, but minus
a wing or a leg he is of but little value to
those who collect perfect specimens and
pay prohibitive prices for them; but should
the enthusiastic collector of manned china
come across a broken cupid, he is at once
purchased for a comparatively small amount
and carried off in triumph
In the same way dainty old cup that
whole would have cost several shilingS or
pounds maybe, can, in a handleless or chip
ped condition, be picked up for few pence.
Hobbies open up endless possibilities, and
provided the collector does not become a
crank, they give an added interest to life
and help to keep the heart young.

The All-White Hat.

There is nothing prettier in hats than the
all-white chapeau, and especially If 1t be
trimmed with ostrich plumes. Though es-
sentially expensive neadwear, it is practical,
being smart with any dressy costume with
which one chooses to wear it. The model
is broad-brimmed white Neapolitan, rolled
smartly at the left front. and the crown
is encircled with long white plume, the
stem of which is turned against the crown,
and directly on the back of the crown is
tackled an exceptionally beautiful white
plume beneath a bunch of white roses This
hangs straight over the back brm and
curls around the right shoulder a favorite

white, then the lace frill may carry out the
shades of the embroidery.
While the larger collars are extremely
handsome I doubt whether the result will
be worth the expenditure. Entirely of one
color embroidered In white I can imagine
its being pretty, but not especially so while
combined with white lace fancy the effect
would be patchy whether worn over white
gown or one its own color. Things appear
SO different when viewed in the privacy of
ones home, and so to avoid future disap-
pointment the question of buying, or rather
just what to buy. should be first well con-
sidered, for these hlmy trifles by no
means inexpensive.

The Return of the Long Sleeve.

The newest gowns seen among elegant
women do not have the long slope of the
shoulder. All japanese effects have dis

Shirred unlined tulle or mousseline sleeves
almost covering the hand are finished at the
shoulder with smart little putting, giving
quite a narrow, high effect by contrast to
the kimopo droop. Many are the white
gowns covered with shawls or huge searfs
of colored chiffon, some plain, some with
printed or painted borders. Filet and Irish
laces, mingled with null embroideries, still
hold their important place, and so many
redngotes and loose sacques of Irish lace
are worn, loaded with fringes and passe-
menteries, that one gasps breathless at the
costliness of the apparel of a handful of

Day dreams are all we'll enough in their

but to dwell continually in their rosy mists

1t Is a fine thing to have high ambitions,
but don't get them 80 high that you can't
see the everyday duties that await you.
Many girl spends hours dreaming OF
the happy home she will queen It over at
some future time. But she does nothing
toward fitting herself to rule over her king
dom when she comes into 1t. She forgets
that instead Of dreaming she ought to be
working hard and gaining all the useful
knowledge she can, says Home Chat.
And she must not forget that the most
important thing of all is that she should be
good and true. and sweet.
