EVELYN N. THAW AND
MOTHER LONG ESTRANGEp
c. J.. Holman Says His Wife Has Not
Communicated With Her Daueh-
ter Since Marriaue.

S''SS WA 'eSOs
PfTTSBURG, Jan. g. Charles j.
Holman. step-father OF Mrs. Harry
Kendall Thaw. made a brief reply to
the many contradictory stories con
corning the relations of his wife and
her daughter yesterday, when he de.
cfared that the reports that Mrs. Hof.
man was seeking revenge against her
sonin.law were entirely untrue.
Furthermore" he added. "she new.
er expressed herself in any such man.
rer nor has she had any communica.
ton with Mrs. Thaw since her mar.
rage"
The announcement of this long es.
arrangement coupled with a statement
that Mrs. Holman had not seen her
daughter for three years was a great
surprise to many of the friends Of
the Hoimans and Thaws.
Recent statements by Mrs. Thaw
that her mother was soon to be her
guest in New York during the trial,
were thus igven a sharp denial.
That she will probably be called
upon as a witness by the State is gen.
orally conceded, but Mr.. Holman wants
1t understood that his wife Is in no
way actuated by any spirit of revenge
in what she may have to say OF the
relations between Stanford White
with her family.

Don't Let Them Get PENIS Body,
Writes English Divine in Panic.

London.-Some notion of the fear
of American enterprise entertained in
certain quarters may be judged from
the following amazing letter written
by DR.. Rendel Harris, one of the most
distinguished nonconformist divines,
to the London Young Free Church
mems league on the occasion of the
annual pilgrimage to PENIS and Mil
toms country at Jordan and Chalfont,
st. Giles, Buclinghamshire. He says:
BE careful not to let the Ameri-
cans do any damage if they come with
you, for they have plots laid to un-
earth William Penn and exhibit him
as a relic of Philadelphia. This cam
not be permitted. They will also want
to cart away the house at Chalfont,
where Ellwood tried to teach Milton
the doctrines of paradise regained.
Don't let the Americans carry that
house Off. 1t ought to be government
property. 1 will buy it myself pres
emily and present it to the Free
Church council

"An' me to pay for it!' Tom had

since that fatal night In April, now
eight long months ago. nor, when he

She cut him some mutton and a slice

"Ah. now, pluck up! she coaxed.

SUBSTITUTE COPPER FOR GOLD.
Bank of England Branch swindled in
an Unusual Way.

London-A remarkable story Of
halfpennies being substituted for half
sovereisns was told at the Manchester
city police court the other day, when
Henry Douglas Anderson, who had
been employed at the Manchester
branch of the Bank of England and
after absconding had been arrested in
Canada, was charged with stealing
91,0S1.
In stating the case for the prosecu-
ton, F. 3. Smith, NJ. P, said that the
prisoners duty was that of separating
light weight gold coins from those
of full weight and he had to put the
full weight coins into bags which he
had to label and sign. On July 81 he
absented himself, and on August 2 the
bank issued 25 bags of half sovereigns
to Messrs. Williams. Deacon's bank.
and Ia of them, which had been made
up by the prisoner. were found to
have been tempered with. half sover>
eigns having been replaced by the nee
essary number of halfpennies to make
up the correct weight. Two other
bags in the banks treasury were also
found to have been tempered with in
the same way, and the total sum
missing was G1,0S1.
On September Is the bank received
a letter from the prisoner in Winni.

his guilt and made reference to the
mad act he had committed.
Evidence was given by number of
bank clerks, including a retired de-

GIVES DEATH WARNING
OLD CLOCK TELLS APPROACH OF
GRIM REAPER.
Family at Loss for Explanation
Owned by Prominent Physician
Whose Relatives Are Ones
to Lose Lives.

Huntington, Tenn.-Stored away in
a dusty attic at the home of Doctor
w. I. Porch, the Oldest and most
prominent physician of Baskerville, in
Humphreys county, is an old-fash-
toned Seth Thomas clock. Dust COW
tired and timeworn, this old clock
many years ago refused to further re-
cord the fleeing hours, and was
stored away in the attic with cast-off
plumber. Doctor Porch is quite aged,
and had been married three times,
and the old clock occupied a promi-
nent position on the mantel in the
family room from the first day he be-
gan keeping house until it was cast
away as being worthless.
Shortly after the death of Doctor
Porch's first wife he was called to see
a gentleman residing in the neighbor.
hood who was quite i'll. The patients
wife that night dreamed that her hus-
band died and that she afterwards
married the physician. She also
dreamed that she became the mother
of twin children and at their birth she
years Doctor Porch and the lady were
married. They lived happily together
for some time, and finally twins were
born to the union, but the mother
never lived to see the children, death
resulting at their birth. Doctor Porch
ffhe Gle e death t oh be eee!sxes the dream had
story of the old clock.
After a lapse of some time Doctor
Porch was again married, and the old
clock occupied its accustomed place
on the mantel as heretofore. To this
last union We're born several children,
among them being Carrie, John Boy
and Porter Porch. One Sunday
morning, long after the clock had
been discarded, and as Doctor Porch
and his daughter Carrie We're prepare
ing to attend Sunday school, ten plain
and distinct strokes rang out from the
old clock in the attic. But little at
tention was paid to the incident at the
time, and it was believed that a mouse
Or rat had become entangled in the
clock wire and caused 1t to strike.
However, 1t was noticeable that the
ten strokes We're as plain and distinct
as If the clock had been running.
Shortly afterwards Miss Carrie COM
planned of not feeling well and stated
| that she would not attend Sunday
school, She rapidly grew worse, and
| at exactly 10 o'clock lapsed into un.
consciousness and died. Then it was
that the striking of the old clock was
| recalled, but Doctor Porch is not q
| superstitious man, and would not be
lieve that the clock had anything tc
do with the death of his daughter
Time wore on, and the next Oldest
child, John Boy, was taken sick. Fol
long while he fingered between life
and Death, and one night, as friends
and members of the family sat arount
the bedside, there rang out, clear ant
distinct, from the old clock in thu
j. attic eight strokes. The puzzled lool
} on the faces of the members of tn
family evidenced to the friends pres
ent that they feared the worst an
recalled the first warning of the oil
timepiece. Next morning at oclocl
John Boy passed into the great III
. known, being unconscious at the tim
. of his death.

1t with imperturbable civiiity.
MIR. Nat was driven into deeper plots.
He had never been bested by a convict
yet. And now at last Tom read re-
venge in the jaundiced eyes. but re-
venge for what? He felt more mysti-
fed than afraid. All he had to do was
to keep his temper, but what had he
done! To nobody on the farm had he
breathcd word about uught that hap
pened i'll Sydney or on the road. He
never ventured within the paisade.
What. then. was his offense?
One night as he lay puzzling his head
about 1t and yet half asleep, sound
startled him.
1t came from the saddle room next
door. Tom sat up in his bunk.
The sound was very thin and wholly
metallic. as the scraping Of dinner
knife between the prongs of fork.
Suddenly bolt shot back, with little
slam.
