Lisbon could not leave for home until
s2:30 Saturday SO another game of
seven innings was played in the fore
noon. It was just another chapter Of
the story. The Ransom county team
had but one pitcher with them so
Oakes chose one of hers by lot to lend
them and it fell to Bennett. He
pitched good game against his team
and would have held them at two
scores but for the errors behind him.
Killilea was in the box for the locals
and toyed with the batters from the
Cheyenne holding the hits down to two
but one was a three bagger and let a
man across the plate. The figures:

entering found Miss Pierce lying on a
couch in the sitting room with q towel
over her head and one hand holding the

The cold touch told the tale. Miss
Hurlbert at once summoned Mrs. Quigg,

RESUME OF THAw TRIAL.

What promised to be a very dun
session of the Thaw trial was made
notable in the court annals of New
York city by District Attorney Jerome
placing himself in the position OF
openly defying the presiding judge.
He declined point-blank to submit GER
tain authorities to Justice Fitzgerald
on the ground that the question OF law
involved was so elemental and the au'
thorities SO abundant that he must as
sumo the court to have knowledge or
them. DR.. Wagner was on the stand
all day, Mrs. William Thaw waiting In
the witness room.
Mrs. William Thaw took the witness
stand in behalf of her son Harry ana
told of the change in his mental state
after he had heard Evelyn Nesbits
story. She broke down twice, ana
was treated with great consideration
by Mr.. Jerome. In dispute with
Mr.. Delmas, the district attorney
made his first public threat OF asking
for a commission in lunacy.
District Attorney Jerome completed
his cross-examination of DR.. Britton
d. Evans, alienist, in the Thaw trial
and began cross-questioning DR.. Wag-
ner, another insanity expert Both
witnesses admitted that Thaw had an
insane knowledge" Of what he was
doing when he killed White.
Counsel for Harry K. Thaw sur
prised District Attorney Jerome by
announcing that their case was closed.
Mr.. Jerome said that on the evidence
as it stood he would got to the jury
and not ask for a commission in
lunacy. He thought the case might
be given to the jury by Friday, March
Is.
The defense In the Thaw case hav-
ing rested, the trial was adjourned to
give Jerome a chance to arrange his
testimony in rebuttal. Mrs. Evelyn
Thaw was subpoenaed to bring into
court letters from Stanford White.
May Mackenzie and Howard Nesbit
also will be called on to testify. 1t
was reported that If Thaw is acquit-
ted his family will seek to separate
him and Mrs. Thaw.

The windfall of penencence to
American education naturally arouses
something akin to envy on the part
of foreign institutions which are not
so well favored by private munifi-
cence. The duke of Devonshire, chan
cellor Of Cambridge university, issues
an appeal for $7,5OO,OOO, which he
says is sorely needed. British news
papers support the appeal, and in
articles on the subject allude to the
poverty Of English colleges and the
splendid gifts of Americans, and also
lament the Indifference of English
men of wealth. This Is a matter re-
garding which outsiders should hest
tate to comment. But it is not
wholly out of order to note that some
of the largest benefactions to educa-
ton and charity in the United King.
dom have come from American citi.
gems.

The way to keep children IN school
is to make the school the most valua
bic place to them. The school must
be made attractive. We must change
front and recognize that the school
room Is made for the child and not
for the teacher. At present only the
appurtenances Of the teacher are
placed in it and whatever may be
done for the children is done only be-
cause the teachers interest can best
be served by such. The schoolroom
must be made for children, declares
Arena AS the business room is made
attractive and fixed up for customers
and whatever Is done for the salespeo-
pie is done only because thereby the
best interests of customers can be
cared for, SO in the schoolroom the
interests of the children must be con.
suited and those things done for chill,
dren which will make the schoolroom,
next to the home, the most attractive
place.

Good Roads.

The good cause of highway Inn
,rovement is making steady advance
nent in this country, and still there Is
room for more of the same sort This
ls big nation, with great territory,
and much of the land is comparatively
new to the business. But when
state like our own votes S50,0O0,OOO
for good roads and other states are
putting forth creditable efforts in the
same direction the ultimate result
must be satisfactory. And we need
not be above borrowing practical ideas
from other sources. American Con-
sui Hamm, writing from Hull, tells
of the roads in that vicinity and what
the English do to keep their famous
highways in trim. For 1,094 miles OF
road in Yorkshire last year the total
of $910,750 was expended-SS32.5 so pei
mile. The consul adds: 1T is a rare
sight to see rutty or muddy coun
try road in this neighborhood. Most
drained and kept in good repair. AS
a consequence one horse can draw
a load which would require two OIL
three horses over the usual country
road in America" That last sentence
speaks a volume. Good roads, de-
clares the Troy IN. " Times, mean
economy, because when they are fur.
nishe>4 the wear and tear on horses
and vehicles are reduced by many per
cent. This is a phase of the subject
which is not kept in view as promi-
nently as should be the case. The
owners of light pleasure rigs" and OF
automobiles are not the chief benefi.
Charles of good roads. The greater
good is that which comes to the far
mer and teamster in lessening the
cost Of hauling loads over the high
ways.

DEPLoRES SUBSIDY DEFEAT
Argentine Leader Says That Measur,
Would Help Both Countries

Buenos Ayres, March 11.-Estanis.
lao Zeballos, minister of foreign at
fairs and former minister Of Argen-
tina to the United States, in an In
terview deplored the defeat of the
ship subsidy bill in the United States
congress. He said that both coun-
tries demand measures for the ex-
tension Of commerce through better
ocean communication.
Senior Aeballos pointed out that
legislation had been enacted long ago
granting subvention Of 100000 an
nually for steamers performing a
regular service between Argentina
and the United States, and the Ar
gentina government, he said. was
prepared to make tariff concessions
to facilitate commercial intercourse.
Senior Zeballos said that he was
confident that when the trade posi-
bilities between the two republics
ere understood in the United States
the American congress will see the
desirability Of mutual comm errial re-
lations, the balance being always In
the favor of the former country. The
minister thought that it would be a
matter for deep regret IL the SPLEEN
lid effects of the visit and declara-
tions of Secretary Root should be
minimized by apparent indifference
as to q commercial policy which,
while beneficial to Argentina, would
be doubly so to the United States.

PRIEST BRINGS DIAMOND
RINGS TO THE POLICE.
Says They Were Given to Him by a
Parishioner of His-Belong to
Woman Who tainted.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Refusing to
give his name or address, a Catholic
priest, at / o'clock this morning, walked
into the office of Captain Shevlin, Of
the Adams street station, Brooklyn, and
placed four diamond rings on the desk,
saying:
"a parishioner of mine has turned
these rings over to me. She says they
may be worth 5000 or so. She says she
found them in a Fulton street restaur-
ant yesterday afternoon. l cannot tell
you the woman's name"
1t was learned later that the rings
belong to Mrs. Isabel Kinpin, of 659
Tenth street, Brooklyn. Mrs. Kinpin
had gone into the restaurant and sud
denly felt faint. She fell and was aided
to a dressing room by Sadie Hessel-
blum, of 10 East Second street, and
Sadie Cummings, of 21S0 Fulton street.
They saw her remove her rings. Mrs.
Kinpin was to bewildered that she for
got she had left the rings in the dress
ing room. After being revived, and
going back to the dining-room, she re-
membered them and hastily returned.
The rings were gone and she reported
the matter to the police.
There were eleven rings, h said,
but only four were given to Captain
Shevlin. Evidently the parishioner who
had found them gave h foul to the
priest, knowing that his parish was in
the precinct where the gems were lost.
