Never
 Did you ever give your brother money to purchase revolverY
 T never did"
 "Isn't 1t fact, Mrs. Thaw. that you sent your brother to Siegel- Cooper's to buy a revolver for you. as you were afraid that MT. Thaw might attack you?'
 "Inever did"
 'Is it not fact that you told your brother that all of your statements about Stanford White were pack of liesy'
 T did not"
 Mrs. Thaw seemed fairly bristling under this new line of attack by the district attorney, and her answers were all sharply defined. The prose cutor tried seven varieties of the same question to get from Evelyn the ad- mission that she had sent her brother to department store to buy her re- volver. Failing, he said, with a wry smile:
 That is all"
 MT. Delmas did not ask any ques- tions, and Mrs. Thaw returned to the anteroom.
 MT. Delmas intimated that he hoped to be able to close the case for Thaw this week.
 Interest centers now in the maneu- vers of District Attorney Jerome, who seems to give further indication of his purpose in the >aar future to apply to the court for a commission in lunacy to report upon the present condition of the defendants mind.

SQUARE JAW IS AMERICAN.
Type of Man Who Makes His Way in
 Spite of All Obstacles.

In commenting on the British Med. ical Journals statement that "The American of to-day presents . firm. square jaw, broad brow and clear, keen eye, which together usually ren. der the recognition of his nationality matter of no great difnculty." New York editorial writer says:
 From these features we single out the square jaw as the American fea- ture. The American nose Is not much to brsg on, and if the American fore head is unusually high, that is . case for the hair specialist, not the phre- nologist But no other race of men have such jaws as the American. If anything, they may be a little over- done. There is too much bone. The chin is long, square. overassertive. It initiates against the perfect oval of the classic countenance. Some of us are inclined to the prognathous. It would seem that the house of Haps- burg has cousins among us. But all in all, 1t is good fault. Thank heaven, we are not . sheep-faced folk. a
 The history of this people is re- corded in their jaws. not in their noses. Their individualistic jutting chins tell that they have had to make their way and have inherited nothing but the disposition to do 1t. The receding chin. the fish jaw are the penalties of being born with . silver spoon in ones mouth"

SPOILED EFFECT OF SCENE.
Unfortunate Tipping of Candle Too
 Much for Audience.

The late Joseph Jefferson took de light in telling a story of business" in the earlier days of the Walnut Street theater, Philadelphia. Cam. file" was being played and all was go- ing with intensity. Then came . scene between Camille and Armand, in the course of which . servant was to enter with lights. Tn those days" said MT. Jefferson. "sea island cotton was stage ice cream just as molasses and water were stage wine, sherry or port. according to the proportion of molasses. Armand and Camille were seated at the table. where they had been enjoying such viands as these. &nd their dialogue was making the very best of an impression on the crowded house. Then in came that maid servant with the wabbliest sort of a candelabrum. The scene was SO expressing that she was scarcely no ticed, but when she sat down her bur den between the lovers and one of the candles toppled out and put the ice cream in . blaze-well. the strain was broken. The entire audience burst into laughter and the curtain had to be rung down."-Harper's Weekly.

DEPUTIES REDUCED BY TWO.
Situation at Windsor Locks Quiet
 Eight Deputies Left.

Windsor Locks. Feb 2S.-It now looks as if the stay of the deputy sheriffs in town will be short as the strike situation is quiet. The force of ten deputies has been cut down to eight, two men leaving yesterday, Deputy John M. Foote of West Hart ford and Deputy Charles Taussig of Hartford. There have been on duty at the mill and guarding the bridge and railroad crossing four deputies, George H. Hall, Edward A. Welch, Leroy M. Cowles and E. J. Lacey. They have taken turns in changing their beats to vary the monotony and it is not like the lively time they had in Manchester in 1902.
 Things at the mill do not show any effects of the long shut down at the freight yard Is fast filling up with cars loaded with stock and the busy workers about the mill show that the men are glad to be back again after Q month of idleness

STARTLED BY EVANS
Expert Tells Court "Thaw Is
 Not Insane, Never Was"
"IDID NOT co ARNED," SAYS EVELYN
Wife of Prisoner, Recalled by Je- rome, Denies Telling Howard Nesbit That White Story
 Was . Lie.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Dr. Britton D. Evans, authority on mental disor- ders, who was on the witness stand in the Thaw murder trial most of the session, was brought right down to the nub of the case by one question fired at him by District Attorney Je- rome.
 Do you believe the prisoner is sane or insane?" he asked.
 He is not insane, and he never was," came the reply.
 This answer created ripple of sur. prise in the court. It was quite unex- pected in Its directness, and 1t appear ed to tickle the accused nightly. A satisfied grin overspread his features, and there was suggestion of the "ex- aggerated ego" in his eyes.
 Dr. Evans soon explained what he meant by saying that Thaw never had been insane or demented. He asserted that although the defendant was suf- fering from temporary insanity, he was not suffering from dementia, and therefore, although he was not respon- sible for his act at the time of the shooting, he was perfectly sane now.
 The cross examination of Dr. Evans was not finished when court was ad- journed. It is said Jerome will put forth his best efforts to break down the testimony of the witness because of the seemingly good impression Evans made on the jury. Jerome and Evans are not on good terms, the district at-

torney having refused to accept the hand of the alienist in the corridor of the courthouse.
 ''I do not think you are a truth tell ing man, the district attorney said.
 And you're no gentleman was the experts retort.
 In his cross examination of the med- ical witnesses of the defense Jerome tried to show that Thaw was suffering from paranoia, an incurable form of insanity, and therefore must be insane now.
 In the midst of the cross examina- tion of Dr. Evans the prisoner began to write busily. He told the reporters he was preparing a statement.
 His lawyers tried to dissuade him from doing it, but he persisted. Final ly he gave out the following slip:
 "This is the second statement given out by Mir. Thaw since Aug 10:
 "with chances of a million to one against her, 1t is wonderful that Mrs. Thaw's testimony prevailed against the district attorney and his black legs"
 Dr. Evans was led along by Jerome on the subject of melancholia, system atized delusions and other crazy things. He finally drew from the doc tor the opinion that Thaw was insane on just two occasions-when he mar ried and when he wrote the will which was submitted in court.
 The trial produced one surprise. which came in the shape of battery of questions hurled at Evelyn Nesbit Thaw by Jerome tending to show that she feared death at Thaw's hands. This was on the occasion of her return from her second trip to Europe.
 The district attorney called her to the stand soon after court opened. He began to question her with the intent of bringing out that Thaw had made threats to kill her and that she had sent her brother Howard to purchase a revolver for her self protection. To all questions along this line she gave a positive No"
 Jerome got his best foot forward in this effort It looked like carefully laid plan to use young Howard Nesbit as q witness for the state to corrobo- rate Abe Hummers prospective denial cf Evelyn Nesbit's account of her fa- nous visit to his office in 1903 at Stan- ford Whites behest
 Mir. Jerome said that there was one point he wanted to clear up in connec- ton with an alleged statement Evelyn made to her brother. Howard Nesbit.
 The prosecutor asked the witness if she had seen her brother upon her re- turn from Europe in the fall of 1903. She said she had seen him at the Ma varre hotel.
 Did you then tell your brother" asked Mir. Jerome. that you had been beaten and cruelty treated by Harry Thaw. who abused you in order to in- ,iuce you to make statements against Stanford whIte:-
 -I did not" responded Mrs. Thaw. with a snap in her voice that was al- most shrill.
 Did you not tell your brother that MT. Thaw had beaten you and used you cruelty In Paris in order to make you say lying things against stanforS white-in or.Ier to Is-z2e you say White had dragged and wrongei you!

ADJUSTMENTS

The much talked of too much writ ten of "Parsifal'' has come and gone. Pine Bluff people were pleased with the great story that was simply and powerfully told. Shakespearean in- terpretations have also come and gone, but "Parsifal' is greater than them all in this-that what Shakes peare loses in arrogant abundance of character "Parsifal' gains in the sim pie application of single idea ma> jestically worked out There is no by-play in "Parsifal' The idea is one that may be caught by the un- initiated in the first scene and retain ed through succeeding scenes without a thing to detract and lure away. The idea is developed simply along usual lines, but with a grace and power seldom seen. Music, art, literature and, above all, life-these abound i;l "Parsfal.'
 Of course, what we saw was but the dramatic version. There has been
 lost much of the beauty in translation
 and there has been lost a little of the mysticism of moderniZation, but
