The Thaw Case.

Harry Thaw's defense depends on
4 tiny note which Tlaw is said to
have intercepted while it was being
passed by Stanford White to Mrs.
EVELYN Ncsbit Thaw in the Cafe Mar
tin four hours before the tragedy in
Madison Square Garden.
Witnesses for the defense will state
that Harry Thaw learned through this
note that Stanford White was still
seeking to renew relationship with
Evelyn despite pledge that he would
not do so. 1t win be developed that
Thaw had eXacted a prom sc from
White not to annoy her with his at.
tentions and his counsel viii endeavor
to show that when Thaw had learned
of Whites alleged duplicity he be-
came filled with an all.con suming de.
sire to destroy the man who, in his
opinion, was seeking out his wife.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. on taking the
witness stand in her husbands de-
tense, will testify to all Of her ac-
nuaintance with White and of the
events which led up to the shooting.

Expert ocean Mai sorters.

One of the most interesting perform.
ances of modern times is the handling
OF the mails in great ocean steam.
ships. Some of the men become so
expert at sorting that they work al
most automatically. many of them be
ing able to put their finger On any
particular town marked on the rack
blindfolded. On an ordinary western
trip they carry on an average about
100000 letters and some 10000 regis
tered packets. The latter have all to
be written up in detail in their books
during the voyage, and this takes
more time than the actual sorting. The
officials do not always manage to fin.
ish the work by the time they reach
port, and when such is the case they
accompany what is left to the general
post Office and complete the job there

days and fined 5000 for keeping the
hotel bar. run in his name, open on
New Years day.

mense crowd of politicians in Lansing
to see the Inauguration of state OH
GERS and 10 prepare for the assembl ne
of the legislature and the opening OF
the senatorial caucus the following day
and evening. The excitement was in
tense the drinking free. One report
was that the bar took in 81 400 in Ole
day that week.
Mr.. DCwney was receiving many con
CALCULATIONS on his entirely remodeled
and enlarged hotel, on the improve
ment of which hundreds of thousands
of dollars have been spent. He kept the
bar open because as he said to an Off
Ger who warned him of arrest, "a man
cannot be hung twice for the same
offense, and might just as well be ar
rested now and have II over with" He
seemed to expect that If he were ar
rested once he would not be molested
thereafter.
He pleaded guilty TO the charge
when arraigned. and II was generally
