As soon as the latter arrived Justice Fitzgerald took his place on the bench and Clerk Penny began to call the roll of the jury. When this was over he turned to Thaw and in a loud voice said:
 The defendant will rise''
 Then for the first time those in the court room knew that the end of the famous trial was at hand.
 Clerk Penny turned next to the jury box and said:
 'Tae jury will rise'
 Then he went on:
 Defendant, look upon the jurors; jurors look upon the defendant. Gen tlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon verdict?'
 We have not quickly responded Foreman Deming B. Smith in voice that was audible in every corner of the court room.
 Little Mrs. Thaw reached up and grasped her husbands hand. Thaw sat down Imply beside her. She whisper ed comforting words in his ear and told him she believed, from what coun- se had said, that there was good chance of his being liberated on ball.
 Justice Fitzgerald, turning to the jurors, said;
 Gentlemen of the jury, I have deem- ed it my duty to keep you here as long as there was a possibility of your lreaching a verdict I have arrived at the conclusion that it will be impossi- ble for you to do so. I have consulted with counsel for the defendant and the learned district attorney, and I am go- ing to discharge you from further con- sideratlon of the case, the public pros lecutor and counsel for the defendant lconsenting to such discharge" | Justice Fitzgerald called upon Dis trict Attorney Jerome and Messrs.. Dan liel OReilly and Clifford Hartridge, of Thaws counsel, to arise and formally enter their consent.

 District Attorney Jerome said there were reasons which made it necessary that the January term of the court in which the trial of Harry Thaw was be- gun should not yet be adjourned sine die, He asked that such adjournment be taken as would comport with the convenience of the court
 Justice Fitzgerald then ordered an adjournment, at ASA, until Monday, April 29
 MT. Jerome later said that the ad- journment until April 29 had nothing to do with the Thaw case.
 The district attorney also stated that he considered it would be his duty to put Thaw on trial again.

WHERE BIRDS SLEEP IN WINTER

In zero weather, when the night is pitch dark and there is a piercing wind driving biting snow, perhaps you have wondered, as I have, to think how the little wild birds could man. age to sleep and not freeze, nor be covered up with the snow.
 One stormy winter night, while walking through Central Park, New York City. partly answered the ques- tion. A branch of a large pine tree swung close to, and 8 little above street lamp. The branch and its twigs were quite free from snow, the dense leaves or needles forming a roof above them and catching the snow which had quickly filled up the spaces between the slender leaves. Here and there under the most cosy-looking of leaf clusters was little group of Eng fish sparrows looking as comfortable as could be. The were somewhat dis turbed by my pausing to watch them, and a few left to find a perch on some higher branch. Probably there were scores of these sparrow in this tree, for I was able to examine only the branch near the light. Who know but that every pine in the park, and many a one in the woods as well, is a very tenement for the birds?-St. Nicholas.

AMERICAN EXPANSION.
ADDRESS DELIVERED BY HON.
 CHARLES EMORY SMITH

Before the Yale Law School Political
 Club at Hendie Hall Last Night
 Distinguished Scholar Tells Whnt
 We Need to Gain Commercial Su-
 premacy and Other Interesting
 Things.
 The following Is an abstract of the address delivered before the members of the Yale Law School political club last night by the Hon. Charles Emory Smith of Philadelphia:
 Constant expansion has been a dis tinguishing feature of American growth All the movements have been in the line of natural development. Our earlier expansions were contigu- ous and coterminal. We had to arch the continent and fill the space be- tween the seas. We had to have the Wfle continental base for a great pow CT. Our lotest expansions have been transmarine, and they have been just as opportune as the others. In the earlier days we needed room. At the present time we need commerce. Then we wanted land for material growth. Now we want the sea and the sea-footholds for commercial commu- nication Then we required the broad ani solid foundation on which we could build the agricultural and industrial supremacy to which we were destined. Nok we require the outposts along the lines of commercial outlets for the sur plus of producing power which sur passes anything the world has ever Aseen and which should lead at no dis tant day to commercial supremacy as distinct and undisputed as our as- cendancy in agriculture and industry. As to the acquisitions which came with the Spanish war we can all agree at least that they were unforeseen and unintended. Whether they could hon. orably have been avoided do not now propose to discuss. My present pur- pose is to consider where they have pleased us as a nation and whether the moral and material gains are not im- measurably greater than all the cost and trouble This point will best be H.
 
 frustrated by taking a great world chapter and measuring our American relations to it at two different dates. We all viyidly remember the violent Boxer outbreak in China. It was a momentous contest between civilization and barbarism. It carried with it a tremendous import as to the desainy of China and as to it's moral and political aspects and It's trade possibilities in the future. Had that vital chapter come in 1897 the United States would have played no part in it. England, France, Germany, Russia and Japan would have furnished the allied forces for the subjugation of the uprising and would have decided all the questions which grew out of the conflict, and the United States would have exercised no more voice in their determination than did Belgium or Holland But the chap ter came in 1900, instead of 1897, and the United States, instead of looking on in helpless horror, played a great and lealng part in the stupendous drama. Our troops were among the first to reach the Chinese capital and raise the lurid embargo, Our counsels were controlling in shaping the settle ment It was the United States that prevented the outbreak from becoming a general war by insisting that 1t

POLICEMEN GIFT TOGETHER.
Appoint Committee Which Will Work
 for Increased Pay.

It was decided to appoint a committee of five members consisting of an officer from each sta tion and the detective bureau. The men on the committee are Sergeant Watrous of station 8, Detective James Ward, Officer Tiernan of station i, Of fieer J. H. Moore of station 2, and Off, cer J. T. McGrath of station 4.
 This committee was given full pow CT to take such action as it dees best. The general opinion is that both the firemen and the policemen should re- .ceive more pay. Not only has the cost of living increased but the cost of the uniform which the men must W ear has gone up nearly 20 per cent.
 In the absence of Captain Cowles, Vice President Cornelius j. Eagan nre- sided at the meeting. Captain Cowles, who has been absent in Molibe, Ala, in connection with a federal court case, is expected home tonight.

 When he look his leave he told the queen the reason for his midnight row on the river. In pity she generously gave him all the gold he could carry. Count Robert, oversoyed. told her he would return after paying his debts and meke her his bride. After an affection ate adieu. stout mermen bore him to the shore.
 But now that Count Robert was again very wealthy he quickly forgot his promise to the queen. and straightway began to court the baron's daughter.
 A day was finally appointed for their wedding. All the city fiocked to see the ceremony.
 Just as they were about to be married 1t grew dark as night. so that the church had to be lighted. Then came peal after peal of terrible thunder. The door opened. In ran a fisherman.

 When the moon was at its full he loosened his skin as 1t lay at its moor ings and padded toward the middle of the river. The water was too shallow near the bank, and if he were to die he lived. In the most comfortable and ele- gant style possible.
 Count Robert ceased padding. A deep sigh escaped him as he thought of the jolly life, he had once led; but then. refecting on the emptiness of present existence, he rose in despera- ton to cast himself into the water when. chancing to look at the massive rock rising from the river nearby, he beheld a beautiful maiden.
 Now, the count was very courteous, especially to ladies, and he certainly couldn't do such an ungentlemanly act as drown himself before the eyes of this beauty. In fact he didn't feel half the moment before.
 And when the beauteous maiden, af- ter smiling sweetly upon him, glided into the water, what could the gallant count do but plunge to her rescue?
 Down he travelled until he stood on the rivers bottom. To his astonish- ment the bewitching lady stood right before him. still smiling and seemingly not in the least need of rescue.
