The Carlyle Harris case cost the

trials Of DIR. Kennedy cost about
$4,000.

NOW YORK, Feb. 4.-When the
Thaw trial is ended, and the smoke
clears away from the field Of battle,
how will the Thaw fortune fare? What
viii the expense be? More than
that Of any other murder trial that has
ever taken place in New York.
Never before in the court annals Of
this city has such an expensive array
Of legal talent been gathered together
in a criminal case. II is expensive not
only on account of ability, but because
Of the disposition Of the Thaw family
to throw open the doors Of their money
vaults and "go to the limit for the
defense of the man on trial
The Thaw fortune. according to
.Pittsburg estimates. is about 100000
000 All the tremendous strength of
this fortune has been thrown into the
battle to save Harry X. Thaw from
the death chair.
The array of lawyers, counsellors and
what not consisting Of Messrs. Hart
ridge, Peabody, Delmas OReilly. Glea-
son and others. will cost the Thaw es-
tate before the trlal is over at least
S200,0 000 Apportion it as you may. you
cannot go much below this figure.
Scores of detectives working in div
ers parts Of the world for many months
will cost $4,000 more. Then there are
the services Of Roger O'Mara, the for
mer chief Of police Of Pittsburg. whose
expenses will be reckoned In the thou
sands. as well as heavy outlays for wit
nesses whose time and expenses must
be paid by the Thaws. There is at
least a dozen local detectives con-
stantly on the go on behalf Of Thaw.
They look up the records of talesmen
from the time they enter the court
room until they are accepted or ex-
cused.
Taken in its entirety the Thaw trial
will cost in the neighborhood OF $685.

How Eyes Are Injured.

It is very injurious TO the eyes to ex-
pose them to sudden changes of light
or long exposure 10 exceedingly bright
light. as the glare of snow. or ocean or
stretches of white sand. Glaring col
ors of any kind should not FREEDOM
mate in the everyday surroundings.
Green. as experience has taught the
unlearned. is most pleasing and restful
to the eyes, and so is counted by most
people beautiful color and best
adapted for house furnishings All
soft. neutral shades are acceptable to
the eyes. though they should not be

Every consideration of expediency
prompts the location of the state capt.

General Bradley. IF the city is large
enough to afford the members of the
Legislature slight diversion without
distracting their attention from state
affairs, 50 much the better. When the
capital of Michigan was located in
Lansing the primeval forest was stand
ing here. There were several populous
cities in the state at that time bat
merely population was not permitted to
have determining influence in the
contest. The people wanted central
capital and the fact that there were dt
that time practically no inhabitants OF
the proposed capitol site was not a
serious objection"
THE location Of the state capital u.
Lansing has always resulted satisfac-

''The results might have been different

most populous city Of the state The
