SESSION ENDED.
North Carolina Lawmakers Finish
Their Work and Adjourn.


The sixty day limit of the legisla-
ture expired Saturday, but because
Of much unfinished work the body
was forced to meet again Monday.
The investigating committee made
is report exonorating the conference
committee on the rate bill from the
charge Of being influenced in fixing
the famous 60-mile limit.
A feature of the day was a red
hot speech by Speaker Justice, who
took the floor and denounced in bit
ter language the Senators and others
who had opposed his amendment to
the antitrust bill. The Speaker. how
ever, later apoligised for his action.

Both branches Of the general as.
sembly had busy day Saturday. The

on the antitrust bill, and were dis
charged. Most of the members were
restless and wanted to wind up the
business of the session and get home.
There were many bills ratified.
The bill regulating the Investment
OF the reserve fund of inusrance COM
panies doing business in North Caro-
lima, being reported unfavorably by
the committee, Mr.. Lockhart, its au.
thor, brought it up on a minority re-
port.
A joint resolution that the general
assembly adjourned at II clock Mon
day, provoked much discussion. Mr..
Justice, from the floor. called atten-
ton Of the house to the many very
important bills which had not been
passed. He said that unless the SEN
ate moved faster than it was doing,
and this house passed a resolution to
adjourn Monday, the probability was
that members would go home dis
credited by not having fulfilled their
pledges to the party and to the peo-
pie. Mr.. Blount, and other members
spoke on the same line, declaring that
it was the duty Of the members to
stay here month longer if it should
be necessary to carry out Democratic
pledges, or to enact laws necessary
for the good of the state.
Mr.. Clifford, the introducer of the
resolution, Withdrew it.

children under 5, but the new bill

JEROME Is BLOCKED
FEATURES IN TRIAL OF TnAW
Wen Nigh Ceasiess Battle Between
Leading Ccnsei for Defense and
Prosecution In Thzv Case.

New York. Speeial.-0n the first
day Of the States case in rebuttal
at the trial Of Harry X. Thaw Dis
triet Attorney Jerome came TO a
temporary standstill against the prac-
tieally solid wall the rules of evidence
have built around the story of Evelyn
Nesbitt Thaw. Mr.. Jerome began TO
attack this story as soon as court
opened. There ensued a well nigh
,easless battle between the prosecutor
and Dolphin NJ Delmas, the leading
counsel for the defense, at the end
of which Justice Fitzgerald upheld
the rule laid down at the beginning
Of the trial-that young Mrs. Thaw s
story was admissible only as tending
TO show the effect it might have had
in unbalacing the defendants 5 mind
and that its truth or falsity is not
material.
Mr.. Jerome tried TO avoid this rule
by declaring be was endeavoring
merely to show by inference-by
and details in the story that Mrs.
Thaw could not possibly have told
the story to her husband.
May Attempt an Alibi.
Although he will doubtless be
blocked by the same rule when the
time comes, it is said the district at
torney may attempt in the same way
to prove an elibi for Stanford White
on the night he is alleged to have
maltreated young Miss Nesbit.
Nlne-tenths Of the days sessions
were spent in the argument and in
nearly every instance when the smoke
Of conflict cleared away Mr. Delmas
had won his point as to the law.
while Mr.. Jerome in the very argu-
nent itself had got before the jury
a perefct knowledge as to what his
witnesses would have testified to had
they been permitted. The distric:
attorney called 10 witnesses during
the day, but aside from drawing from
he States eye-witnesses to the
ragedy the opinion that Thaw
seemed rational the night he shot
md killed Stanford White, little real
iadway was made.
Lining up all his forces in rebuttal,
Mr.. Jerome decided to open his
light upon the defense by attacking
the story told the jury by Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw. He called to the stand
Frederick w. Longfellow, formerly
an attorney for Thaw, and asked him
first concerning the case in which
Ethel Thomas is alleged to have sued
rhaw for damages because of cruel
treatment. Mr.. Delmas AFFECTED to
questions along the line under the
professional privilege Of lawyer and
client. but before Justice Fitzgerald
sustained the objection and ruled out
the evidence, Mr.. Jerome declared:
"The story Of the girl tied to the bed
post and whipped by Thaw is the
story of Ethel Thomes. This poor
girl is now dead" Here Mr.. Del
mas interposed an objection to the
district attorneys remarks and the
latter began an attack along a diff
ferent line.

The principal feature of the first fall

Club. held at the home of Mrs. Florence
v. Frapwell. 60 Midland avenue. yesterday
afternoon. was a talk on Japan, by Miss
Marie Ryerson, who returned a short time
ago from n three weeks stay in that coun-
try.
Miss Ryerson told of how she left Easi
Orange February 20, and sailed from San
Francisco February IS. Five days later
she arrived at Honolulu. where much that
was interesting and amusing was observed,
She said that 1t seemed queer and rather
homelike to see American letter-boxes on
the street corner, and she told of the many
varieties of Northumberland fish to he
found in the Honolulu aquarium.
Miss Ryerson spent nine weeks in the
Orient, devoting most of the time to the
most interesting of the Nippon cities. She
told of the two capitals of ancient regimes,
Kiot and Nikko and OF Toxic. the pres
ent seat OF the national government. II
was cherry season when she was there. a
fact which accentuated the general pic
-turesqueness.
Then there were Yokohama, Kobe and
Nagasaki, where modernism and medieval
ism queerly blend. while Shanghi, Hong
Kong and the Philippines were also halt
Ing places on the tourist chart. Coming
down to the practical Miss Ryerson spoke
especially of the p~redominance of fish
In the native regimen. There were
only 1855 different p~iscatorial varieties,
while cold-storage meats IN plenty pre-
cluded sameness, and awakened thoughts
Of dinners in the States. Another i'm
preston reflected was the one great pre-
vaiiing trait-an ~indisposition TO hurry.
Vacation "Reminiscences were given by
the other club members, who waxed merry
over the recollections of summer joys. Mrs.

One member told of the joys of Olympic

disillusloning trip to Coney Island, where
every show seemed to her to be a fake.

NegHgees.

Every woman loves a pretty negli-
gee, and what beauties may be found
nowadays at comparatively small cost.
I saw one not long ago, of soft raw
ponge silk, embroidered down the
front with sprays of pink n blue
forget-me-nots. There were wide folds
of pale blue silk, piped with pale pink,
around the bottom and at the edges of
the wide sleeves, which were made
wonderfully fluffy with rufffes and
and ruf1es and ruffles of soft cream
lace.
1t was almost too pretty to wear,
and yet there was nothing on 1T that
would crumple readily.
You know the good qualities of pom
gee, and of the way it has of losing
it's wrinkles as Dol as it is straight
ened out.
The tired business woman, who a
been in the hustle-bustle of the city
all day long, loves to get home at
night, and wrap herself in one of those
comfortable garments, maybe not so
elaborate as the one l have just de-
scribed, but soft and pretty and COM
Portable.
In olden days the negligee was but
an insignificant garment, about as
cheap as anything in the wardrobesof
the owner. Today it is always pretty.
and sometimes costs a small fortune,
all depending upon the amount of doh
dars at the command of Milady.

Street Street w. v. SNYDER & CO. ss::;

There's something magnetic about that
girl" / heard a matron say of a we'll
known young woman recently. She seems
to draw people to her. She isn't pretty.
but there is something about her that
fairly fascinates everyone"
The woman spoke the truth. The girl in
question is fascinating, but her charm con-
sists largely in her kindness to others. She
never misses an opportunity to a some-
thing nice to the people she meets. and
no one ever heard her speak d~isparagingly
of mother. She is kindness itself, and,
consequently. her friends are legion.
II is within the reach of every girl to
win friends to herself. Every girl can do
something worth while, no matter how
humble her position.
Because you cannot see the way to do
the something great or SNOWY that you
are longing to do, do not allow the little
things within your reach to slip by I'M
done. To 40 well all that is in your
power is something you owe yourself as
well as the rest of humanity, and youI
success in the little things will very otter
lead up TO the greater things for which
your ambition Graves.
