New York, July 24.--In the
strange, uncanny and ominous inter-
val between the time that the entire
American people were breathless In
their interest in the fate of Harry X.
Thaw and the approaching time when
the young millionaire shall again
stand in the fierce glaree of publicity,
what is he doing?
Moreover, how does Evelyn Nes-
