EVELYN THAW NEVER DID
TELL HER OF HER
WRONGS
4 Still LOVE NY Child
IF Had Known / Would Have Kin.
ed White Myself Says Mrs.
Holman

Pittsburg, April I6.-(Copyright,
1907, by the Pittsburg Leader Pub
fishing Company
The Pittsburg Leader this after
noon prints six-column statement
from Mrs. C. ]. Holman, mother of
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, in which she de-
tends herself against the accusations
expressed and implied against her
during the Thaw trial.
The statement opens by saying that
two nights after the night upon which
Harry Thaw shot Stanford White,
she received this telegram from her
daughter:
1T is most important for you to
say absolutely nothing"
Until now she had remained silent
and has been forced to take the de-
fensive because of the attacks made
upon her by Mr.. Delmas in his clos
ing address to the Thaw jury.
She denies that she aided the dis
trict attorney in any way and that
she had been seen by Mr.. Jerome, Mr..
Garvan, or Mr.. Hartridse.
Mrs. Holman then details her
struggle following the death of he
first husband in her efforts to prop
-erly raise her two children and says
her daughter first posed for an ar
fist named Storm, of Philadelphia,
Pa, who met Evelyn at Cresson, Pa,
summer resort, when a little girl.
Florence" she says, was in love
with the stage" e.,
= She did everything to discourage
her but it was useless. .l-
The story of Florenee's first meet
ing with Stanford White, she says, is
substantially as told by her on the
witness stand. When. Florence re-
turned she told her mother she had
met the grandest man, and later
when Mr. White sent for her she
went to his Office
Mr.. White, she said, warned her
specifically against several young
men with whom Florence had become
acquainted, but did not refer to
ThaW.
His manner, words and actions
were the personifcation of whole
hearted disinterested generosity,
Mrs. Holman says, and if ever a VIC
man repOsed confidence in a man she
says she did. Mrs. Holman asserts
that if Florence underwent the ex-
perience that is said to have befallen
her, she did not take her into her
confidence.
Continuing. she says:
Had she told me what she told the
Thaw jury ii would not have been
necessary for, Harry Thaw to kill
Stanford White. l would have done
it myself.
| Speaking of the European trip.
Mrs. Holman says:
Every detail of the trip was and
is a nightmare to me. Mr.. Thaw
Joined us in Paris. Florence and l
shared the same apartments Mr.
Thaw had apartments by himself.
J There was no pleasure in our tour for
me- The things which appealed to
Florence and Mr.. Thaw in Paris did
not appeal to me. Florence testi-
fed that We quarreled frequently
while in Paris, in fact, continually
; The disagreements were caused by
> my protests over visits to star res.
taurants"
In closing Mrs. Holman says:
Il solemnIy affirm that my love fol
D my daughter is as deep and intens'
as it was when l first held her in m.
4 arm a helpless babe. Regardless o
r all that has transpired, my affection
j is unaitered. The door Of my hom
is open to her and will swing wild
e at her slightest tap, today, tomorro,
and always while / live"

THE SHIP OF STATE.

The People, of Baton Rouge, OF re-
cent date. in a political review says
The Ship of State is steered without a
chart Or definite aims other than that OF
constantly favoring the few at the tx-
penSe OF the many.
We see this in the monopolies that the
Republican tariff has foStered BY giving
them the power to tax the masses, and
Ill the unequal impoistions OF the bur
denS OF taxation.
We see this in the extravagant ex-
pendltures which usually find their way
in the direction Of the favored, and in
the absence OF all effort to Tighten the
burdens weighing chiefly upon the
masses
We see this in the creation and main
"'""ce OF slnecures and in the increases
of the salaries of those public officials
who are the best provided for, where
common justice would dictate the oppo-
site course"

Miss Marg, Scoheid spoke interest

introduced ME- B. -Herndon of the
school board, who had kindly consented
to contribute to the programme Mr..
Herndon's talk was characterised by
point and brevity, qualities that every
speaker should hold to, if they wish their
remarks TO be effective. The particular
point in Mr. Herndon's paper was most
timely and pertinent. the Importance of
correctly spoken English. Carelessness
in speech should be closely watched by
teachers, he said, and at once corrected.
Line upon line, precept upon precept,

complSh the purpose of the teacher,
Nothing is so important in all the range
of subjects taught as correctness in

marks were appreciated and warmly ap-
plauded.

graceful and much enjoyed contribution

NEWS IN BRIEF
A Budget of Interesting Items Gathered
by Caucasian Representative.

The new year has come in with sun
shine and the fragrance of flowers. Roses
and geraniums are still blooming in the
garden, though frost has been sprinkled
over their leaves, they still bloom on,
defying the nipping touch of winter
The refreshing sweetness of bunch
OF flowers is so evidently tonic to tired
nerves that it is easy to understand why
the ancients attributed magic properties
to scents. Greece set cinnamon gates to
its elysium and surrounded it with a
scented river a hundred cubits broad,
through which souls swan, and thereby
purged themselves of earthly dross.
Pliny records elghty-hve remedies de-
rived from odorous rue. Pure violet es-
sence is said to be especially suitable to
nervous people. But from the flowers
themselves, not the chemical limitations.
Chemically derived perfumes are lrrltat-
ing, poisonous even. to persons OF espe-
cially sensitive constitution. True flow
err scents are obtained in three ways.
First by spreading fresh blossoms upon
glass thickly spread with pure grease,
letting them stand in the sun, and as
they wilt replacing them until the grease
is as fragrant as the flowers. Second, by
repeatedly infusing fresh petals in Oil ;
and third, by infusing them in ether,
l. L,ef,tfaI 70 Dr., eN1td
All the citrene scents, bergamot, ne
roll, orange flower water, are refreshing,
and in degree stimulating if properly
prepared Lavendar is peculiarly suited
to high-strung tenperapents- 1t is said
to be soothing, refreshing, and not too
stimulating. Jasmine should always be
used pure. Alone it tones and braces the
whole system, but in almost all of its
compounds is singularly depressing.
Neroli is the exception. Jasmine and ne
roll taken together make a delightful,
soothing perfume.
THE GOLDEN YEAR.
We sleep and wake and sleep, but all
things more,
The sun flies forward to its brother sun,
The dark earth follows wheeled in her
ellipse,
And human things returning on them
selves,
Move onward, leading up the golden
year.
Fly happy sails and bear the press;
Fly happy with the mission of the cross;
Knit land to land and blowing heaven
ward
With silks and fruits and spurs clear of
toll,
Enrich the markets Of the golden year
But we grow old. All, when shall all
mems good
Be each mans rule, and universal peace
lie like a shaft of light across the land
And like lone of beams athwart the
Through all the circle Of the golden
year?
live on, God love Us, as if the scotsman,
rapt
Upon the teeming harvest should not
plunge
lis hand into the bag: but well know
That unto him who works and feels the
work,
This same grand year is ever at the door
