ONE YEAR IN PRISON
THAw KILLED WHITE A YEAR
 AGO.
The Slayer of the Famous Architect Still Feels Confident of AcQuit- faI At His Next
 Trial

New York, June 25.--It was a year ago to night that Harry Thaw shot and Killed Sanford White. the architect on the Madison Square Roof Garden, during the initial performance of the musical comedy. "Mamselle Cham paGpe."
 Since the tragedic night, Thaw has most absorbing trials in the criminal annals of this or any other country; his mental state has been made the theme of innumerable opinions, law and expert and 1t has been passed upon by a legally constituted commission; his town. his wife. and his familys acts, positive or negative. have been related even to the most ordinary de- tails; his wife has been the object of a prodigous amount of newspaper re- porting and illustration; the procedure of his trial has been made the subject of international comment and finally. twelve men picked with extraordinary care, have disagreed in his case. after probably the most popularly excit- ing deliberations in the history or any trial for murder in the Uniteo States.
 Thaw has many more days in the Tombs ahead of him for 1t Is certain that he will not be tried the second time until late in the fall and there is oven a possibility that he may not be tried again this year. But he seems sanguine and cheerful. notwithstanding the confinement and scenes of depres- sion he is obliged to undergo. He is in good health also, though pale from his prison life.
 T feel confident of acquittal at my next trial" he is quoted as saying.
 Thaw has struck up a decided friend ship with 1.affael Gascone, who is charged with the murder of a fellow Italian and after months spent in the death house in Sing Sing prison, is awaiting the time set for new trial Thaw and Gascone spend not 8 little time pacing the corridors and chatting together.

Over a quarter of a cen- tury ago a paper of ours on this subject was pub lished by one of the lead ing and oldest medical so- cieties in the United States, was referred to as showing ability and Eclen- tifie research of the high est order" Our conciu- sion, as then expressed, proved that VaricOcele was in reality due, in the first place 10 an exhausted con ditlon of the nerve center that gives tone and vital ity to the affected vein. This has since been ac- cepted by the profession. Surely we speak with a degree of authority on the subject. A large propor- tion of cases cdn be cured 4ctthoWt on OpeFdttoH--our records prove this.

 Selma, June 26.
 Citizens of Selma read with regret this morning the dispatch in The Ad- vertiser from Spartanburg. s. C., an- nouncing the serious illness of Bishop Capers of that State at his summer home at Cedar Mountain.
 For a number of years Bishop Ca- pers was the rector ofTSt. PauPs Epis- copa1 Church in this city and had charge of that church when he was
 During the years which he had charge of St. Paufs Episcopal Church he made q large number. of friends Throughout this section of the State, and these friends have watched his career with interest since he left Ala bama.
 The last time Bishop Capeers was in Selma was few years ago, whea he came to attend the funeral of the late Bishop R. W. Barnwell of this city.
 Working for Encampmemf.
 A committee began the work this s1,20o fer bringing the encampment of the 2nd infantry regiment ae,,oa of the the annual practice camp.
 The committee was most successful during the few hours which it worked this morning and there Is little doubt that the amount will be raised and that the encampment will be held here.
 The encampment of the regiment which was held here last year proved a most successful one, and the commit tee which this morning visited the mer. chants to raise the subscription heard of but one complaint against 1t. This complaint was that the purchasing of ficer of the regiment had bought the most of the necessary supplies from merchants in Montgomery instead of purchasing them in Selma, where the encampment was held. For this reason some of the merchants and business men did not subscribe to the movement as readily as they would have done.
 Resisted an Officer.
 On warrants charging him with wife beating and with having resisted being arrested by an officer. Gale Brown, a negro, was tried in police court this morning.
 One evening last week at his home in the eastern part of the city, Gabs' Brown whipped his wife. Some of the neighbors complained to the officer pa- trolling that beat, and when the officer went to arrest the negro, he resisted and the officer had to hit him over the head several times with his club before he consented to go to police headQuar- ters.
 The case against the negro for wife beating was heard. and after the evil dence had been submitted he was dis charged of that offense. In the case for resisting an officer he was fined $25 or fifty days at hard labor on the streets of the city.

Letters to The Editor
The state And Its officers,

Editor Advertiser:
 The following extract from the opinion of the Supreme Court in Chicago and Burlington. etc, Railroad Company vs. Chicago. 166 U. S. 233, sheds great deal of light on the idea so frequently advanced of late that q state could effect things through it's officers, contrary to the Constitution Of the United States. The court said
 But 1t must be observed that pro- hibitions of the amendment refer to all the instrumentalities of the, State, to its legislative. executive, and Judicial authorities and therefore whoever, by virtue of public position. under state government, deprives another of any right protected by that amendment against deprivation by the state, violates the constitutional inhibition, and. as he acts in the name and for the state, and is clothed with the States power. his act is that of the State This must be so. or, as we have often said. the constitutional prohibition has no meaning. and the State has clothed one of its agents with power to annul or evade 1t. These principles were en- forced in the recent case of Scott vs. McNeal. 154 U. S. 34, in which it was held that the prohibition of the Four teenth Amendment extended to all acts of the State. whether through its legis- lative. its executive. or It's Judicial authorities etc."
 Equity.

ways, by the intsuRpsrate threats and Pronunciation of men who went into the courts and the court which heard their complaint.
 1 Are not our people already suffering enough from the distress and panic which pervades all sections of the country. without adding to it here the further harm from vicious and sense- less agitation in the effort to keep men out of the courts of the country, who complain of the invasion of prop erty rights? Has not our credit been 1 sufficiently impaired? Have not enough laboring men already been thrown out of employment? Has not public conf :. dence been sufficiently shake en. with out adding to 1t the i'll effects of a struggle to override the Constitution and laws? All further harm from this kind of agitation can be evaded. by simply letting the law take it's course" and fghtifE out the cases in the courts where they belong. and where the questions must be decided. Does any one dream that the decision can be made elsewhere or that any good can come to anybody in the effort to prevent the operation of the powers of the court? Anybody knows what must happen then. Nobody doubts what the result will be. Above all things the people of Alabama need rest. They are not in the humor to tolerate disturbers of the peace. They are exceedingly wearied of the effort to injure litigants for going into the courts. and of ef- forts to intimidate the court whose particular cases.
 There are, of course, honest differ ences about the reasonablness of rates. and no one Is censurable for voting for rates which he really believes are req sonable. The party platform contem- plated that the courts should sdetermine this matter. It was so construed and understood. It's spirit and purpose were carried into effect in one of the repealed laws, which not only provided for relief by injuhction. but that the court might, if the circumstances re- quired it, suspend the operation of the law pursuant to the State statute. The party platform never required any one to indulge in the harrassing legis- lation to drive men out of the court, or which might be provocative of col lision with the Constitution and laws of the United States. Indeed. the con stitutional safeguards prescribed in this matter by the Federal Constitu- tion are not one whit broader than the safeguards the Constitution of Ala bama prescribes. The question is in no sense a political one. Partisanship has no place in 1t. The issue is whether an attempt shall succeed to overthrow the Constitution and laws of our country. About which side one ought to take on such an issue, no patriotic man ought to doubt

ATTACKS ON THE JUDICIARY.

The people have recently been treated to a series of denunciations of the judiciary. Such things have always been regarded as an attack upon the liberties of the people. Judge Story, one of the ablest Jurists who ever lived in America, in his work on juris- prudence. depicts the consequences of such assaults in the following strong language: "So long as our judiciary remains fearless and firm in the dis charge of it's duties. corrupt and popu- lar leaders, those who pine for public favor, and hope for political advance ment. cannot oppress the people, and if the liberties of the American people are ever destroyed 1t will be when pub lie opinion shall lose confidence and respect for the integrity. honor and justice of the judiciary"
