THAW LUNACY COM
MISSION SURPRISE
IS SPRUNG
They Turn Out Lawyers and
Witnesses and Examine
Case For Themselves.
WILL MAKE REPORT TO
THE COURT. TOMORROW

New York, April 3.-After hearing
two experts as witnesses today, one
for the state and one for the de-
fense, the commission, which is in
quiring into the present condition of
Harry X. Thaw, went into executive
session and conducted its last mental
and physical examination of the de-
frndant
Even the lawyers on both sides
were barred from this last sitting, the
commission intimating that after the
mass of contradictory expert testi-
mony placed before It, the members
believed they could get all the in
formation they required from Thaw
himself. The commission expects to
report its conclusions to Justice Fitz-
gerald tomorrow, at which time the
trial will proceed, or an order will be
issued committing Thaw TO Mattewan
asylum for the criminal insane.
Battle of Experts.
The determination reached last
night, after eight hours of close at
tention to expert alienists, that the
commission would today make its
own private examination of Thaw,
came as a complete surprise. Yester-
days work was but another battle OF
alienists. Those engaged by the dis
trict attorney declared Thaw abso-
lutely incapable or understanding MS
condition, of realizing the nature of
the charge against him or of ration
ally comforting with counsel, while
those engaged by the defense declar-
eI Thaw throughout the trial had
acted in a rational manner, had ra-
tionally advised his counsel in their
hearing, and fully understood and
appreciated everything connected
with the trial.
"a aI
mitted that they had reached their
conclusions as to Thaws present state
of mental unsoundness from distant
observations of him in the court room
and from writings alleged to have
emanated from him during the trial.

FIERCE FIGHT WITH WOLVES.
Last of the Brutes ChOI<ed to Death
by the Mighty Hunter.

Last of the Brutes ChOI<ed to Death
by the Mighty Hunter.
Clancy backed up against tall t1r,
kicked off his skees and stood ready Tor
them. In a moment they saw him,
stopped and separated twenty feet, as
to attack him on the side and rear.
Taking careful aim at a gray wolf as
1t came at him, Clancy fired directly
in It's face, dropping it; he whirled TO
fire at the one to his left, when the
third sprang upon him. A flash ana
howl that told the second animal was
wounded; with a powerful kick he
caught the third between the forelegs
and sent it flying BACKYARD. For
moment the two beasts staggered. He
tried to fire again, but found that he
had dropped the revolver. In frenzy
he seized the dead wolf and flung it at
the others as they came on. He struck
one q fierce blow under the jaw with
his boot and made a slashing cut with
his long knife, at which one of the
wolves sprang around behind. At this
he unslung the child and, holding it
high in air with one hand, attempted
to toss it into the low shell-1ike
branches of the tree. But as he held
it aloft the wounded wolf sprang upon
him, sprang and met the long blade
that sank into it's throat.
The force Of the rush threw the man
down and away from the tree. Drop
ping the bag into the soft snow, he
seized his long slzee that he had thrust,
end upward, in the snow and waited.
The white wolf, the specter Of its kind,
ran back and came at him with many
false starts, then with a yelp dashed
straight on. Clancy intended to use
the skee as a club, but the thought
suddenly found Judgment in his be-
number brain that if this broke he was
lost, so he dropped it and sprang to
! meet the brute with maddened cry
gr-r-r-r-r-in his throat.
The VOLTS mouth was open and with
a movement like the flash of light he
grasped the lower jaw, back of the
sharp CANNES, bent 1t down with his
giant strength, at the same time grip
ping the throat with his left hand, and
the two rolled in the snow from which
came horrible cries, growls, impreca-
lions, the sounds that go with enforced
strangulation and despair Of man or
beast. Not for a moment did the des-
perate man release his grip; the huge,
doglike beast tore ridges in his face
4 with it's fore claws, while the man
beast, bearing it down, in turn tried to
fasten his teeth upon the animals
throat. Slowly and surely he clicked
! 1t, not releasing his hold until the
brute was almost stiff. -McCIure's

simple device. The clasp which fastens
on the chair or other support is pivot

the clasp are an eye and hook. Slid

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.

Rash Covered Face and Feet-WOuId
Cry Until Tired Out-Had E'CrRd1e
Cap" TOO-Speedy Cure by Cutt-
cura.
my baby was about nine months old
when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. 1 had always used Cuticura
Soap myself, and had heard Of SO many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I
thought would give them a trial. The
improvement was noticeable in a few
hours, and before I had used one box
Of the Cuticura Ointment 4 her feet
were well and have never troubled her
since. I also used it to remove what
Is known as "cradle cap" from her
head, and it worked like a charm, as
1t cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Now I keep Cuticura Oint-
ment on hand in case of any little rash
or insect bites, as it takes out the in
1ammation at once. Perhaps this may
be the means Of helping other suffering
babies. Mrs. Hattie Currier, Thomas

Many persons Will be surprised to
learn, as they may from a report Of
Consul General Michael of Calcutta,
that most of the finest rugs which are
shipped from India to the United
States are made In factories controlled
By American capital, and on designs
which have been worked out In Ameri-
ca, to please the American customer.
One firm alone controls ten factories
and employs fifteen thousand hands,
divided between spinners and weavers.
This firm would prefer to do its rug
making IN the United States, but 1t Is
impossible to induce the best Indian
rug-makers to leave India, and Ameri-
cans viii not make rugs by hand.

Knew Him at Once.

There are other sure ways of bring
ing a man to mind besides mentioning
his name. Among the candidates who
were sent from Princeton to q Philadel-
phia church was one young man whose
language was of the sort which dazzles
and delights the younger members of
q congregation and sometimes pleases
the elders as well.
In this case the committee were be-
sieged to ask for the young man again,
and they consented, but unfortunately
the man to whose lot it fell to write
the letter had forgotten the candidates
name. Nothing daunted, he wrote to
one Of the seminary professors:
"Please send US that fioweret,
streamlet, rivulet, cloudlet, starlight
and moonbeam young man again. We've
forgotten his name, but we've no doubt
you'll recognize him."
"We do wrote the professor; and
the desired candidate was sent, and
subsequently was called to the parish.

When our grandparents were sick,
1t was their custom to go into the
woods, gather the roots, flowers or buds
Of some well-known plants, bring them
home and from them prepare tea or

The timely use of these Roots and
Herbs would assist nature to cure dis
ease and restore strength and vitality
to the whole system.
Gentian root was used to restore the
appetite, Rhubarb and Aloes to move
the bowels, Blackberry root and Ginger
to check them, Bloodroot and Wildcher-
ry bark for throat and lung troubles,
others were used to cure and prevent
fevers and so all along the line it was
found that kind providence had provid-

1t can be safely predicted that this bag
will never be universally adopted-no
matter how useful 1t may be-simpty
on account Of the probable prohibitive
cost. The profit of the storeke6per

Socrates used to teach that sin is ig-
norance. In many cases the identity is
evident without philoSophic explana-
ton. Recently the United States Civil
Service Commissioners received an IL
literate letter from a candidate for
the place of rural carrier In a small
town in New York. The writer naive
" hoped that the gentlemen would find
his papers ''sadisfactor," and said, "I
will be pleased to make you gentlemen
4 present of two hundred dollars If you
will make 1t in my favor" The next
thing he knew he had been fined two
hundred dollars and sentenced to q day
sn prison for attempting to bride q
government officer. The fact that this
unhappy offender put his offer in writ
Ing and addressed it to public officer
shows that he was not q deep-dyed sin
ner, but a foolish man who believed
the sensational charges that most If
not all public officers are corrupt.

The "Old red school house" Of fancy
is fast becoming a Renaissance in this
country. The day when the district
school" played an important part in
every rural community Is long past.
The original idea Of dividing town
ship up into fairly regular sections, In
each Of which was to be school house,
was a progressive one. 1t had favor
even among those whose own educa-
ton was scanty, but whose hopes for
their children were high. The present
tendency toward the consolidation Of
schools In the country does not indi-
cate a backward step. 1t points rather
toward greater efficiency. The system
was all right when it was planned. The
present trouble is that there are few
pupils. The country people, like their
city kinsfolk, have small families,
where the settlers Of two generations
ago reared large broods. 1t is no I'M
common thing to hear a man of 90 de-
clare, When I was a boy there were
fifty Of us attending the school In this
district. Now there are only ten pu-
pills, representing three or four fami-
lies" When three school directors
found themselves meeting to arrange
for a teacher for half a dozen pupils
and for coal or wood and janitor SER
vice, and then found by comparing
notes that their neighbors in the adj
Joining district were facing the same
situation, 1t was easy to consider
proposition to unite the two schools
under one teacher, thus saving expense
and adding to the zest Of teacher and
pupil alike by the inspiration of larger
numbers. Certain new questions at
once arose, notably that of transporta-
ton, thing not always easy during the
winter months. If the school privileges
formerly enjoyed near home were made
more remote it was only fair that the
children be carried to the more distant
location. But this did not prove a seri-
Gus difficulty or one Of prohibitive ex-
pense. A little experience showed q
saving in every way In the case Of the
single school with one teacher, one
janitor, one bill for heating, and a con-
veyance for the use Of pupils, when
compared with the two schools with
two teachers, two janitors, two bills
for heating, and no provision for trans
portation. Nor was combination linn
tied to two schools, for often cases
arose where the arrangement Of the
roads made 1t possible for successful
union Of several small schools in one
large one, with much better equipment
and teaching staff. The plan has been
steadily growing in popularity, so that
1t may be regarded as the practical
thing to do in the majority of country
districts with fairly limited territorial
area. Despite veto by Gov. Yates the
Illinois school authorities were enabled
to give 1t a trial in several counties,
and with good results. When 1t Is
shown that the cost per pupil in some
OF the country schools reaches $92, as
compared with less than $40 In the city
schools, the saving by combination is
readily apparent. If combination meant
retrenchment in the facilities for In
struction It would rightfully be unpop-
ular. But where 1t means better schools
. and better equipment there is every
thing in its favor.
