MAY NEVER BE FOUND.
Professional Wreckers Think Larch-
mont Is Beyond Locating.

New London, Ct, Feb. 25.--It is now
thought that the sunken steamer
I.archmont may never be found. The
T. A. Scott Co, with representatives Of
the Joy Line, passed today making
soundings to learn the depth Of water
near where tho steamer is supposed to
be. The Scott GO. tested every theory
advanced BY members cf the crew Of
tie schooner knowlton, the crew of the
Larchmont and of fishermen who
thought they had located the wreck
Soundngs were made until complete
circle within a radius of one mile had
been covered.
There is, it is stated, no possibility of
the Larchmont being raised, even if
she is found, on account Of the great
depth of water making it impossible for
a diver to work. SOundings made by
the Scott Co. showed in some cases
depth Of 2. fathoms, and in only one
instance was found as little as 90 faith
oms. The wrecking company has given
up all hope of recovering anything
from the steamer.

Although Jerome would be willing to

lawyers for the prisoner said yesterday
they still were unalterably opposed to
seeing their client committed to an in
sane asylum and that they would do
everything IN their power to prevent

They said also they felt Mrs. Thaw
had already undergone such a terrible
ordeal that she is likely to arouse the
sympathy Of the jurors if Jerome
presses her much harder, and that a
reaction would set in that would make
Thaw's acquittal almost certain.
I'VE realize narrowing experience
is before Mrs. Thaw when she goes on

lawyers said; but, nevertheless, we
feel that the best thing we can do for
her is to compel the district attorney to
push her cross-eXamination to the end.
Every interruption of her examination
causes her and Thaw additional worry,

ceive for their work, and the clubs the
other half. The clubs have yet TO give
their decision and, pending it, Mr.. Mel.
son has undertaken to do the work
himself, says Reader Magazine. He
has investigated for several weeks
past every application to the. truant
officer for permits for children under
age to work. in the factories, and has,
at the present writing, found seven
worthy cases. Each week these chill
dren call at Nelson's Office and receive
the money they would have been paid
for working-an average of three dol
lars a week. Then the children have
been returned to their schools. In
less than one-third of the cases inves-
Itigated by Mr.. Nelson did he find the
people to be actually in need of the
children's services.

They are led to believe that what they

that they are buying the cheapest

Trouble Ahead.

! The trustees of the public library at
Maiden, Mass, announce that they
will not put in circulation a novel
which decent woman may not read
to a decent man without blushing." AS
this is-a standard of excellence which
cannot be applied priori, 1t may be
necessary to appoint committee to
exercise the novel censorship. The
difficulty of finding decent man will
be equalled only by that of submitting
a decent woman to such an ordeal,
says the New York Post. The latter
might, after time, grow hardened
and maintain deathly pallor while
reading aloud from dubious works. 1t
would not always be easy to distin-
guish blush of modesty from what
novelists call flush of vexation."
The man might even blush while the
woman remained pale, and, lastly, the
blushing might be caused not by the
book, but by the presence of the man.

Going to Get.

At the same time the merchant at
home has the goods on the shelf in
his store waiting for them to be taken
away SO that he can replace them with
newer goods, thereby keeping his
stock fresh and up-to-date. If he has
not the article wanted he can order 1t
from the wholesaler or manufacturer
and 1t will be sent to the purchaser
in as good condition and short time
as II it had been ordered from cata-
logue house. The home merchants
business must be kept up and in order
to do this 1t is absolutely necessary
that the people at home patronize
him and help him keep up with the
times, or else he will soon be out of
the struggle for existence among the
country people. 80
The home merchant should not be
expected to pay the highest price for
produce and farm products and then
be turned down by the seller of these
articles when he wants anything In
the merchants line. He should be the
first one to be consulted when the
farmer intends buying. He should be
seen and arrangements made for the
purchase of the article. II he does not
carry 1t In stock.
The home merchant adyertises or
should advertise, in the home paper.
This keeps the home paper in the field
and helps the community along. The

it gives. all the local news that they
