THAW TRIAL RESUMED
OR. EVANS, ALIENiST, FIRST WIT
NESS ON STAND.
SAYS THAW WARNED JEROME
According to Prisoners Story to the
Aiienist, District Attorney
Wouldn't Act

New York, N. Y.-Harry K.
Thaw's trial was resumed Monday and
DR.. B. D. Evans, the defense's a~lienist,
was recalled as the first witness.
In the course of his testimony DR..
Evans described several examinations
of Thaw in the Tombs, and testified
that Thaw had told him of a visit to
District Attorney Jerome to complain
about Stanford Whites alleged perfor-
mances in his Bohemian studios. Thaw
told the alienist that District Attorney
Jermone had refused to take steps
against White, advising him to drop
the matter. Thaw insisted that he
wanted White brought into court,
where the story of his relations with
several young women could be told,
but said he could not get the authorl-
ties to arrest White. Finally, he said,
Providence led him to Stay the archi-
tect.
Thaw told the alienist also OF a visit
to Anthony Comstock, where the com
plants against White were repeated,
but led to nothing. Later Thaw said.
he discovered that Comstock's lawyer
was also Stanford Whites attorney.
Thaw believed there was a conspi-
racy to kill him. He told the alienist
that the Monk Eastman gang had been
hired to beat or kick him to death. AL
so, he believed there was a conspiracy
between the District Attorney and first
firm Of attorneys employed to defend
him to railroad him to an insane
asylum. Thaw objected to the rail-
reading" process vigorously, declaring
he was not insane.
During the period of the long adj
iournment there had been many
rumors of a conflict among the defen-
dant's counsel, but at opening OF court
Monday all six attorneys who have
represented Thaw during the proceed
ings were at his counsel table, consult
ing together as usual. Even Mr.. Nc
Pike, who had not been included by
Mrs. Thaw's official list of attorneys
as given out Saturday, was In his &c
customed place at the prisoners right.
Mr.. McPike is a partner of Mr.. Del
a
DR.. Britton D. Evans, superintendent
of the New Jersey State Hospital for
the Insane at Morris Plains, was on
the stand last Thursday when the
trial was adjourned and was recalled
Monday as the first witness.
Mr.. Delmas took up the direct ex-
animation of the witness, thus resum-
ing his position as leading counsel,
DR.. Evans was asked to relate the
conversations he had with Thaw dur
ing his first three visits to the de-
PENDANT in the Tombs.
District Attorney Jerome submitted
to the court the contention that the
witness should produce any notes he
may have taken at the time of the
interviews.

PHYSICAL Condition of the Poor.

THISICdf SOtIQlsIOff ~ IhS U WIZ
1t is an old saying hat every inch
a man adds to his chest measure adds
to the measure of his days. America
can show twice as many physicians to
population as Great Britain, and four
times as many as Germany. We have
70 times as many physicians in pro-
portion to the general population as
physical directors. We permit this
disparity on the theory, perhaps, that
an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure. Prevention needs more
numerical representation. l am, then,
pleading, contends Stickney Grant in
North American Review, that the fol-
lowing steps may be taken in public
school instruction: 1. An effective sys-
tenn of physical education to be a rec
ognized part of our public school sys-
tenn. BY effective" l e. n that
does for a boy, so far as his physique
is susceptible, what the United States
army setting-up exercises do for a re-
cruit. The precise system to be es-
tablished by a committee of experts.
2. Athletic exercises in schools, using
gymnasiums, baths, etc. 8. Open-air
exercises and sports under official SUI
pervision. 4. Summer camps, free Of
cost and compulsory in attendance,
for boys of school age. 5. A noon
meal for Door children in elementary
and high schools.

The Small Boys Rights.

In the case of Willie Temple against
the McComb City Electric Light Com
pany Chief Justice Whitfield of the
supreme court gave emphasis to the
fact that the court recognized the in
alienable right of the small boy to
climb trees which are the property OF
the public, if he is able to do SO. The
parents of Willie Temple brought suit
against the electric light company for
injuries which he had received while
up a tree iu which an insulated wire OF
the company had been strung, the boy
having come in contact with a live
wire. 1t is time, the chief justice init
mated, that pubic corporations should
learn to exercise mor care in the
stringing of loaded wires, and the plea
that the company had no idea that
Willie Temple or any other boy would
climb that tree was untenable.

U. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained in Perfume.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh7 Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such a catarrh remedyp Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
a of the principal ingredients Of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis c~anadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh of the shomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca-
tarrh of the liver) and in diseased
mucous membranes Of the pelvic organs.
It is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms Of diseases pc
culiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also
Is cubebs classed as a stomachic and 40
q tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds Is another ingredient of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that it Is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of ~dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as a sub
stitute for q%uinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient Of
Peruna, is classed by the United States
Dispen satory as a mild stimulant and
diuretic. 1t acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. It acts as a stimu-
LIANT on the genito-urinary membranes.
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys-
EMERY and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.
Send to US for a free book of testimo-
malls of what the people think OF Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony of those who
have tried it.

EDITING the Consular Reports.

In the bureau of trade relations the
consular reports are carefully read
and, when necessary, so revised as to
eliminate everything unsuitable for
publication from the standpoint of the
interests of the government. Not In
frequently a report is Of such charac-
ter as to make it i~nexpedient to pub
lish any portion, in which case 1t is
filed in toto in the archives OF the de-
partment of state for future reference.
All statements in the reports calcu-
lated to cause adverse criticism in a
foreign country, or to bring o
diplomatic representations on the part
of another government, or to embar-
rass the administration of any execu-
tive branch of our W government
are omitted from the material trans
mitted to the department of commerce
and labor for publication. Under the
head of matter that Is Objectionable
because of it's probable effect in a for
eign community, explains Jonn HAL
Osborne in Atlantic Monthly, come
sighting illusions to any nationality
or race; adverse criticism, even i'm
piled, of the political, social or reli-
gious institutions; d~isparaging state
ments in regard to the enforcement OF
the laws; charges of dishonesty and
ineficiency of the officials, etc. In
short, anything that reflects on the in
tegrity and efficiency of the foreign
administration, or that might offend
the sensibilities of the people of the
country, is eliminated in the state de-
partment, which is, of course, the best
Judge of the diplomatic proprieties.

Use for Hot Potatoes.

DR.. Herbert Claiborne Of New
York, something of an inventive
genius and noted for good looks as
we'll as for medical skill, suffers from
cold hands in winter. And nothing
will warm his fingers except hot
water, a hot fire or a hot potato. He
can be seen almost any frosty morn
ing marching along at five miles an
hour with a hot potato in each over
coat pocket and his hands grasping
the tubers. He has two big potatoes
piping hot wrapped in silk handker-
chiefs for this purpose. They will
keep your hands warm for hours I'M
less you happen to sit On en- he
says. ''They are great for a football
match or when you go sleigh riding"

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

0Fs Williams FI1k FlllS.
Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause of your
suffering. That is the message which
a former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in it's grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may aus temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return WITH
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
my trouble began about six years
ago and l did not rest as I should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After a time I became so
weak I could not do any work at all.
/ had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times I saw black
spots before them. 7 consulted sew
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
II lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost in despair
when a friend recommended DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. / tried them ac-
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end of three
months I had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble with
my nerves. / have been in perfect
health ever since nd can heartily
commend DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent postpaid, on re-
ceipt Of price, so cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co. Schenectady, N. Y.

Corn Contests.

The corn contest idea in connection
with the rural public schools seems to
be gathering Roadway and extending
wherever the subject is seriously o n
sidered. Superintendent Whitfield will
endeavor to have the subject considered
and acted upon at the Gulfport conven-
ton of the State Teachers Association
as we'll as at the State normals and in
stitutes, during the summer vacations,
and in that way the subject will be dis
cussed and talked about and thus be-
come agitated until its significance is
firmly grasped.
