  Thaw, who identified the writing as that of Stanford White. The envelope was postmarked Boston, January 20, 1902, and WIS addressed to Charles Hartnet, Whites private secretary. It read:
 Gives Her Money.
 Dear Hartnet-Please telephone Mrs. Nesbit to let you know whenever Miss Evelyn decides to go on her vacation. Then send this note to the Mercantile Trust company:

 STANFORD WHITE. !" The introduction of this letter and sev- eral checks signed by Evelyn Nesbit and her mother refreshed Mrs. Thaw's mem- orv to the extent that she said she lived at the Audubon apartments from Feb r,arv 10 to April 1, 1902. Between April 1 and April r, 1902 Mrs. Fhaw and her mother went to live at the Hotel We'll ington The district attorney spent some time in developing this point and appar- ently attached much importance to 1t.

ENSLEY MERCHANTS

Better Lines Are Carried Than
 Ever Before
REAL ESTATE IS ACTIVE
Many Tickets Have Been Sold for the Entertainment Tonight for the Benefit of the Public Library.
 Other Ensley News.

Ensley, February 5.-(Special )-The Ensley merchants have been making eX- tensive improvements lately several of them having had the plain glass windows taken out and replaced with plate glass, and the fact that a great deal more atten- ton is being paid to the dressing of their windows is very noticeable. Spring goods have commenced to arrive, and from the amount of stock some of them have pur- chased for the spring trade 1t Is a good indication that they have had a prosper ous season and have reason to believe that their spring sales this year will be larger than ever before.
 One of them in speaking of the outlook called attention to an invoice of a large consignment he was checking, and said that two years ago he would not have dared to put his money into as fine a quality of goods as he now buys, but that the trade was demonding a better class of goods, and that he found by carrying a good assortment of the best quality goods he had much less stock to carry over at the end of the season than when he had handled the cheaper grades
 A few of the most progressive ones have begun to run their stores distinctly on the departmental order, and are much pleased with the change. It gives them better ideas of how and what to advertise, and they can IL 1gcES asily tell the result ob- tained when specials" in their different lines are being pushed.
 A. Poss is very optimistic in his views as to Ensley's future from u mercantile standpoint, and believes that q good per- centage of the trade that formerly went to Birmingham is being kept in Ensley, and is laying in a heavy spring stock, and many of the other merchants are of the same ODlulOn.
