Mind; Other Indicates
Weakness

NEW YORK, March 23.-Affidavits
in defense of Harry K. Thaw as to
his mental condition, and whether or
not a commission on lunacy should
be appointed to examine him, were
filed today with the clerk of the su-
preme court.
There are eight affidavits, of which
that of D. M. Delmas, Thaws counsel,
was first,
Attorney Delmas declares 1t is his
opinion that Thaw is capable of un-
derstanding the object of the proceed
ings against him, of conprehending
his own condition in reference to such
proceedings, of conducting what is
done in a rational manner, and that he
has done all these things.
Thaw MisspelIs Words.
Eighteen letters and several slips of
paper containing suggestions in refer
ence to the proceedings are made a
part of the affidavit
In attempts to show that Thaw is
insane, District Attorney Jerome has
filed a number of letters written by
/ Thaw to his bankers in Pittsburg. The
/ letters are mainly disconnected sent
ences with numerous misspelled words

NATIONAL WEALTH
SIO7,|O4,I92,OOO
Annual Increase Wealth Per
Family From 1900 to
1904, $lS2

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March "a
The total estimated value of national
wealth in 1904 was $107, ,104.192,000, ac-
cording to a special report issued to-
day by the census bureau, which rep
resents an increase in the four years
period from 1900 to 1904, of 1885,
600.
This advance in the national wealth
has no parallel in the history Of the
United States, except the decade from
1850 to 1860. In 1850. when the first
estimates of the national wealth were
made, the figures were only $7,135,-
100000. The most potent cause of the
increase of the nations wealth from
1900 to 1904. 1t is stated, was the re-
action from the low price period OF
depression from 1893 to 1896.
The annual increase of wealth pei
family from 1900 to 1904, was $1s2.

TO HELP BOOST

Letters Bear Statistics
On the Valley

That the Lewiston business men,
should adopt a uniform stock of sta
tionery on the back of which shall be
printed the story of the wonderful re-
sources of the Lewiston Charleston val
ley, is suggestion which is offered by
Gus A Swanson, last night elected
second vice president of the lewiston
Charleston $4,000 club. In the letter
Mr.. Swanson says:
II suggest that Lewiston and Clarks-
ton business men, and also private in
dividuals, procure stationery to be
supplied by the promotion bureau for
their correspondence and by this
means become active boosters for the
twin cities.
II would suggest that the resources
of all kinds be explained on the back
of the sheet: the advantages of oul
climate, timber, mining, farming, fruit
raising, navigable rivers and every
thing hat will tend to boost the citie:
be given the majority of the space, thu
remainder of which might be devoted
to a map Of the country.
These are my suggestions, but an
ready to adopt any plan that woult
be a better booster. It is the best re
suits that we are after, regardless o
methods pursued 50 long as hey ar
honorable"

beyond Olivet on that day so long ago
He had gathered together with His
special. disciples at Bethany, and there
had outl.nad His work and foretold Il
them what was awaiting Him in thu
city of the Jews.
One particular feature of this triun'
phal entry was the spirit shown b!
the children. They cried out all a1on'
the way:
] "Hozana to the Son of Dayid. Ho
zana in the highest" and Christ tol,
the people that If the children we"
to hold their peace the very stones
would cry out
What followed was in strange con
trast to what took place that day al
along the eastern side of the valley o
Jehosaphat, for the old road ran dow
from little above Bethany to wher
it crossed the valley in going over int
Jerusalem end alone this road Chris
and the multitude came.
The church has honored this even
