Family Disagreement


Family Disagreement.
New York, Jan. 2G.-Three days
OF the trial of Harry X Thaw have
passed and he network of all this
time has been the selection of seven
jurors. To get these seven jury
men 10 talesmen, halt Of the panel
drawn, have been examined While
the lawyers engaged have got so taat
the examination at the talasmen con-
sumes the time thai was aiken in the
early Stages OF the trial the tllesmen
themselves rave become more weary
apparently and the excuses pnt for
ward for not serving are varied and
Ingenious 1t is possible ti.at the re
naming five jurors needed will be
found in the lG0 alesmen still await
ing examination.
The chief reason for the general
desire not 10 serve is probably found
in the order Of Justice Fitzgerald
practically locking the jurymen from
the time they are drawn Hntil the
trial is over. This is an unusual
proceeding and as most of the ,ales-
men are active business men, involves
possible financial loss besides the
hardship
About the only physicai exercise the
jurymen selected enjoy or are likely
to enjoy for scme weeks is that little
walk twice daily by court officers
to and from the Broadway Central
Eotel and The court house. The men
are practically prisoners The men
spend the evening in chatting until
they retire
Every letter that is sent to the ju-
rors is read by Police Captain Will
liam J Lynch, who has immediate
personal charge of the jurymen This
is not done with the mail of prisoners
in the Tombs. No newspapers that
have In them any reference 10 the trial
or tragedy are permitted to be read
by them. Captain Lynch cuts out
the parts of these papers that refers
to the case and the jurors have to
be content with his censorship. Even
the books and magazines are subject
ed to the same sort of scrutiny.
The men are comfortably housed
at the hotel, II rooms, with baths,
and a private dining room, having
been engaged for them The ju-
rors so far selected are taking the
situation in a philosophic way, and
most good natured way

about the time Pompey had come from

warmly advocated the appointment Of
Pompey to his high commands. He

Cicero was born at Arpinum Of 4

Another political figure Of the time
was Crassus. He was a typical capi-

the owner of thousands of slaves

that the greater part Of Rome came
into his hands. He was an accom-

army by paying. soldiers regular

Marius as leader of the popular party

radical democracy had full swing. OF
its enactments one was compelling
Senators to take an oath to execute
their laws under penalty Of fine and

Caesar, Pompey and Cicero

Caesar Was born at Rome in the year
100 b. C. At the age.of is he married
Cornelia, the daughter of CHINA, and
both by his connection with Marius
and CHINA he became allied to the pop
ular party. Sulla proposed that he
divorce Cornelia, break his associations
with the democracy and marry some
lady he himself would provide. Caesar
refused. Sulla tried coercion and de-
prived Caesar OF his priesthood. took
his wffe's dowry from him and con-
heated the estate inherited from his
father. This producing no effect,
price was set upon his head and
he ned into concealment The College
OF Vestal Virgins interceded and his
pardon was reluctantly granted.
Pompey had seen service with Marius
and Sulla in Africa ana was one Of the
favored lieutenants OF SuIla in his
campaign against Mithridates, and for
his success in pursuing the remnants
of the popular army In Sicily and A.

aeials, although nothing definite has been
decided.
White River Junction Is a big rail-
road center. There are many men in
the employ Of both railroads who are
obliged to remain there many ls5tfs
during the day and also over night.
Many Of these men have their homes
elsewhere and would greatly appre-
eiate a comfortable place to pass their
time while in White River Junction.
Already many Of the younger citizens
Of the place have interested themselves
IN this work aud have organized class
with twelve charter members. A. G.

there, and Is doing much TO create an act

cured The money has already been
pledged and work on the grounds will
be begun soon. II is proposed TO have

part of the state. lighted by electricity
so athletic events can be held in the
evening. Tournaments will be held with
other Y. Nj, c. AS in the county and
the place win be made a. attractive as
possible.
As there are more than $50 railroad

men are holding their meetings in the
office of DIR. Cobb and later it is hoped
that the committee will be able to Sc.
cure some rooms that can be fitted up
for this purpose.
Mr. Hurd, who has been for the past
three years secretary Of the Brooklyn

along these lines and the committee is
fortunate in securing his services for the
Windsor county work Although he has
been there but three weeks, he has done
