The ignorance Of these Italians Is simply tn-
hclleVaole. They cannot be Americanized. The
latest practice at our public dinners is to re-
fratn from offering even the most conventional
courtesics to the Chief Executive of the 'sov-
crciEn people Of the United States" but a poor
Italian workingman carried a large wreath Of
holly 10 the White House on Christmas morn

II is reported that died of heart dis
ease the other day upon drawing four aces in
poker hand. This affords a new suggestion to
statisticians who are trying to explain the nm
usual increase I'm deaths due to cardiac all
ments. We suspect. though. that this rising
mortality rate must be traced back to -four
hushing.' not to four aces. The strain of
keeping up the bluff of amazing prosperity is
more fatal than prosperity itself

There seems to be sound sense behind the sug-
gestion that Congress authorize the representa-
tives of the Treasury To receive certified checks
in payment of dues instead of insisting cash
payments. The government would be only ac-
conmodating itself thereby to current and mod

Sympathy for Juror

New York, Feb. 15.-When formal an
nouncement was made in court yester-
day afternoon Of the death Of Mrs. 10.
seph Bolton, wife Of juror no. IL, the
trial of Harry X. Thaw for the murder
of Stanford White was adjourned until
Monday morning. The court also or.
dered, with the consent of counsel, that
the other eleven iurymen be given their
liberty and no longer be held together.
admonished the jurors to be guided
Il. their honor and their oaths and not
to read the newspapers or discuss the
Thaw case with anybody.
The death Of Juror Bottoms wife cast
a gloon over the criminal courts build.
ing, and had a particularly depressing
effect upon everyone connected with the
trial. The prisoner seemed to feel the
matter quite keenly when he was brought
into court yesterday afternoon to hear
the formal announcement Of the order
for pcstponement of his further hear
ing.
The fact that the Thaw jury has been
kept in close confinement since they
wer selected for trial service, and that
Mr.. Bolton had been allowed to visit
his home only three times during his
wife's fatal illness, lent pathetic aspect
to the case, and the greatest sympathy
for the afflicted man was expressed BY
all sides.
