Britons' Heads Not Shrinking.

London.-That the British head is
shrinking and British muscles are de-
generating, as recently charged by
certain scientists, was refuted by evil
dence introduced at the meeting OF
the British association at Leicester.
Records for the last twenty years at
Marlborough college show that the
fourteen-year-old boys there average
five pounds heavier and nearly an
inch taller than those of 1885. A

were rarely demanded, while now
hats 22h inches in circumference are
needed continuously.

Long Time to Sweep.

Everything, even a magnificent
church, must be regarded from the
point Of view of the beholder A Lon
don paper says that two country girls,
who acted as if they might be enjoy
ing a holiday from domestic service,
were observed walking down the
aisles of st. Paul's Cathedral. Under
the great dome one of them stood
and gazed around her with an air of
such wonder that spectator might
well suppose that she was awestruck
by her solemn surroundings But
when she spoke, the idea was dissi-
pated. ooh, Sarah,' she exclaimed,
wouldn't this place take long time
to sweep"

Year in Pennsylvania.

philadelphia than 1000 per-
sons were killed last year in the
coal mines of Pennsylvania, accord
ing to the annual report just issued
by James Roderick, chief Of the de-
partment of mines. The figures show
that many of the accidents resulted
from the victims own carelessness
and that of the remaining third
may be taken as the reasonable per-
centage of accidents to miners. The
accidents left nearly 1000 widows,
with 3.41O children under 10 years
of age.

MONSTER CROWD GATHERED.
The elder Mrs. Thaw and her two
daughters followed the examination
of prospective talesmen with the clos
est interest, and showed that they
realized, more than anything else just
what the entire proceedings meant to
their family name. There was a great
crowd on hand when the court room
opened in the morning, and for time
! it appeared that the police guard
would be inadequate to control the
curiosity seekers, but by the free use
of their fists and the ends of their
clubs the blue-coated guardians were
able to get the mob back into the cor
ridors and only those entitled to
were permitted to enter the court
room. 1t was shortly before 10 O'Clock
when Thaw's relatives entered the
court room accompanied by Messrs.
O'Reilly and Peabody of counsel for
defense. The party consisted OF
Alice, Countess of Yarmouth; Mrs
George L. Carnegie. Mrs. William
Thaw, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, and May

served for them and remained there
Throughout the day. Harry Kendall
Thaw, the accused. came In some
time afterward and sat down along

greeting his relatives. So soon az
Justice Fitzgerald took his seat on

for a moment in silence while the

BELMONT
FROM PRESIDENCY OF
METROPOLITAN.
Hostile Attitude of P atr0nS
Responsible.
TheodoreShontsEievated
to Position-McDonaId
Elected President Of
marlborough Line.

New York, jan 23-The INTERIOR
ough metropolitan Railway company,
of New York city, frightened more
than ever in its history, because Of
the hostile attitude of It's patrons to
the methods it has pursued in the
past, and also fearing an opposition
line that might seriously interfere
with It's revenues, today retired from
it's presidency August Belmont, the
millionaire financier, race track pro-
moter and member of the civic fed
Grafton, and elevated to the head of
its affairs Theodore p. Shonts who
has been chairman of the Panama
Canal commission. At the same time
the Interborough company elected as
vice president John B. Mcdonald, the
contractor to whose sagacity, fore
sight, and ability is absolutely due
the present subway system of New
York. Mcdonald was forced out of
the subway system by Belmont, be-
cause he desired to give good service
to the public at large, and have the
city of New York, which financed the
construction Of the great subway sys-
tenn, receive real rapid transit
system. At the time Belmont made
severe structures Of Mcdonald, and
Mcdonald prepared TO arraign himself
on the side of an opposition company,
and build New York's new subways.
Since then, however, Charles q.
Hughes has been put. In the saddle"
as governor of New York state, and
he is known to have no love for the
present transit methods In this city,
which compelled patrons Of the var
ious railway lines to submit to in
human treatment in order to get to
and from their work. Mr.. Shonts,
who succeeds Mr.. Belmont, who by
the way, is continued as financial
head of the Interboroukh, Is rail-
way man of vast experience. 1t is
understood that he comes into the
New York traction muddle absolutely
untrammelled and has been promised
free hand in dealing with the intri-
cate transportation problems that are
coming up. Mcdonald Will be or
great help to him inasmuch as he,
more than any other New Yorker, has
studied at first hand the narrow island
of Manhattan. Today's changes in the
Interborough- metropolitan system are
bound to work out for the benefit OF
the people at large, especially as 1t
is understood from those on the
"know" that it has been decided that
the Interborough in its new relations
with the people will deal from the
Shonts-McDonald and not from Bel
mont attitude. Mr.. Shonts' resigna-
ton as chairman of the canal board
will be accepted by President Roose-
velt within the next 80 days and his
successor appointed.

VETERAN AS FOREMAN.

Harry X. Thaw, if you intend to
challenge an individual juror, you
do SO when the juror appears and
before he is sworn" Mr. Smith, who
was selected as foreman, was the sec
end Juror called. He Is a veteran
citizen who has served upon many
jurics, and he calmly told the court
and tie attorneys that while he had
'ormed an opinion regarding the case,
that opinion would not influence him
in any way, and he was selected. The
balance of the days proceedings were
monotonous in the extreme, the attor-
neys questioning all prospective jury
men at the greatest of length and
much time apparently being wasted.
The defense was chary of its peremp-
tory challenges and in cases where
|talesmen were not acceptable every
effort was made to have the court dis
qualify them for bias. Despite this,
though, it seems certain that a jury
will be secured within few days.
When Thaw was taken back to his cell
tonight, he expressed himself as well
satisfied with the result of the days
proceedings, and 80 did his attorneys.
He denied himself to visitors and
newspaper correspondents who tried
to get word to him and retired after
eating a large dinner to rest up for
tomorrow's proceedings.
The women of the party were near
| ly mobbed by the crowd at recess as
the police on hand were not suffi-
cient to protect them and as result

 York to Paris.

New York. Nov. 2S.-The first definite entry for the automobile race from New York to Paris, which will be held under the direction of Le Matin. the Paris newspaper. comes from an American. He is C. H. Tangeman of the Automo- bile Club of America. He will drive a twenty five horse power car and is en- thusiastic over the plans for the race.
 Le Matin originated the race last summer from Pekin to Paris. which was a great success. The route for the pro- posed race is from New York across the continent to the Pacific coast, through Alaska, across Behring Straits. through Siberia and Russia, and thence through Germany and France to Paris.
 A number of foreigners have declared that they will probably enter the race. but no formal entry has been made pending the announcement of all the details of the plans. MT. Tangeman is a young man. but is a veteran automo- bile driver. He has made long jour neys in America and has toured in AL geria and Egypt as well as every coun. try in Europe.
