Berry May Run For The Senate.

Little Rock, Oct. 9.-The state ment that former United States Senator James H. Berry may be in the race for United States Senator to succeed Senator James P. Clarke, has started a train of reasoning and scheming among the knowing ones which is liable to upset considerable of the plans which have been laid heretofore. Senator Clarke will not discuss the matter in any manner, ,and beyond the fact that it is known that he is a candidate to succeed himself, he appears to be a diSintereSted party. Where the rumor originated, nor who is responsible for it, can not be learned, but at Morrilton, on Monday, when George Donaghey opened his campain for governor, it was noised around that Senator Berry might be in the race. Whether this is true or not can not be determined, from the fact that Senator Berry has stead fastly refused to discuss state politics in any manner since his return from the United States Senate His closest friends in Little Rock are inclined to doubt that he will be in the race, and from outside points this appears to be the prevailing sentiment. Yet politics produces peculiar conditiOns-in Arkansas and a statement from the aged states man will be necessary to set the rumOr at rest

A Few Corrections.

A few things picked up from child's schoolbook: Never say, T don't think 1t will rain." What you mean Is, "I do think it will not rain." "All over the world" Is bad; say "Over all the world" :" 1.-The reason why" Is not only incorrect, but doesn't sound as we'll as "The req son that" In the King James version of the Bible, quoted by some authori- ties as standard of pure English, one may find the following, which occurs in Isaiah xxxvii, 36: Then the angel of the Lord went forth and smote in the camp of the Assyrians hundred and fourscore and five thousand, and when they arose early in the morning, be- hold they were all dead corpses." In other words. the corpses arose early in the morning and found themselves dead. Don't say "A man fell of the dock" A man might fall into a dock, but to say that he fell off dock Is no better than to say he fell off hole.

THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

Va, Jan. 23.-In this section of the tidewater of Virginia where the
 weather is at all times superb it has been exceptionally good this winter and as a consequence greater progress has been made on the exposition works than was anticipated when they were commenced. Most of the build ings were enclosed and many of them are nearing completion. The super structure of the great government piers that extend far out into Hamp- ton Roads are showing excellent pro- gress and a great transformation is taking place. Between the two gov- ernment piers the forty acre basin is being dredged so as to afford a suffi- cient depth of water even at low tide for all small craft, and there is now no doubt in the minds of the manage ment but everything will be fully ready for the millions who will be
 waiting for the gates to open. The district all around is being beautiied and nothing is being left undone for
 the reception of the visitors from all
 parts of the inhabitated globe who
 will be present. President Roosevelt
 will open the exposition on schedule

The Crested Rat,

The crested rat of East Africa is re- markable, first because of the great length of the black and white hairs down the ridge of the back, which are rendered the more conspicuous because the hairs along the sides of the body are so short and SO differently colored, being brownish gray and looking for all the world as If some one had taken a pair of scissors and maliciously shorn off the decorative hair, leaving only a dull underfur. Secondly, 1t is remark able because the skull has a roofing of bones exactly resembling that of some turtles, while, furthermore, this roof has a granulated appearance recalling that presented by the skulls of certain fishes. In its habits 1t appears to be arboreal while from the structure of its teeth 1t would appear to be at least partly insectivorous.

 New York, Jan. 22.-With the date set for trial of Harry K. Thaw for today, this famous case has again become the chief topic of con versation in the metropolis. Not since Edward s. Stokes killed Jim Fisk, in 1871, has tragedy caused such universal comment in this city. The prominence ot both assassin and victim, the dramatic method of the crime and the scandals with which rumor have given an element of tragic interest to the case sufficient to arouse the curiosity of the most blase of New Workers.
 Regarding the main facts of the killing of Stanford White, the dis tinguished and wealthy architect. there is no doubt and it is likely that the prosecution will spend lit tie time in presenting it's case. Four or five witnesses will tell the stor;r of the shooting of White by Thaw at the Madison Square roof garden on the evening of June 25 last. it was during the first performance of a frothy frivolous play known as ! Mile. Champagne" and while a man on the gaudy stage was sing ing 'I Could Love Thousand Girls" that a pistol shot put an end to the festivities. Stanford White
 lay dead at the table, and Harry
 Thaw, smoking pistol in his hand
 was heard to say:
 N You ruined my wife, damn you
 and now I've got you"
 Thaw was immediately arrested and lodged in the Tombs prison ere he mas been confined since the tragedy. His wife, pretty Evelyl

 s declared that she will testify against her son-in-law. She declares that Tnaw had no reason to be jealous of White who had always treated Evelyn with the ut most consideration.
 Jerome to Conduct.
 The prosecution will be per sonally conducted by Attorney Gen. eral Jerome and the examination of witnesses for the state will prob- ably consume but few hours Probably not until the prosecution has completed the presentation of it's case will the people of New York know the answer to the question which has been agitating them for Weeks-whether Harry Thaw will insist that the defense be based on the unwritten law, which permits man to slay the despoiler of his home, or whether he will yield to the entreaties of his mother and sis ter and allow plea of emotional insanity Thaw's sister, the Count ess of Yarmouth, who is now here to attend the trial, has brought all her influence to bear in favor of the latter course. It is rumored that Thaw's attorneys and relatives
 a combined on a plan to have an insanity commission appointed at the last moment, hoping that he may be sent to the asylum for the criminal insane and ultimately be released and acquitted on the ground of insanity.
 From the time he was arrested the young assassin has insisted upon the "unwritten law as the line of defense, and in this he is supported by his wife. Dolphin M. Delmas, the California attorney employed to assist in the defense, is noted for his success in 'unwritten law" cases. He was advisory counsel to Truxton Beale of San Francisco when the latter was tried for shoot ing Frederick Marriot, editor O.? the San Franciscoo News Letter, for publishing a scurrillous par agraph concerning the woman who afterward became Beale's wife. It is curious coincidence that Trux- ton Beale should have been one of the witnesses to the tragedy on Madison roof garden.
 Unwritten Law.
 A recent revelation indicating | that the defense will be based on the "unwritten law" is found in the suit filed by Father William Blasowysky, Polish priest of bayonne, N. J., against 1haw. The priest asks for $500 and his sworn claim is based upon an all legged arrangement made by him with Thaw to obtain for his de 1ense the testimony of Polish girl who came to this country i, 1902 and is said to have become a member of Whites "harem." Ac. cordlng to her story she was taken from the Ellis Island immigration station by man whom she did mol Know and conducted to Whites premises on Twenty-sixth street where she was kept virtual pris- oner for several months. Later she appealed to Father Blasowsky. who sent her to her former home at hrakow, Austria. The priest says ne secured the testimony at the request of Thaw, who afterwar1 refused to pay the sum aere d upon.
 It is certain that if Thaw's de- mands that the defense n1ead "ius- tlfiable homicide" are carried ont there will bs much airing of dirty

BUYING AMERICAN CARS.
Canadians and siexicans Have Pref.
erence for Our AutomobiIes.

Canadians and Mexlcans Have Pref
erence for Oar Automobiles.
Though the demand for domestic auto
mobiles IS far in excess OF the supply, the
situation for manufacturers is becoming
more complicated because of the tremen-
dous demand for cars made in the United
States on the part of purchasers in both
Canada and Mexico.
Until recently Canadians seemed to pre-
fer machines built abroad, and the de-
mand in Mexico was very limited, but in
the past year a phenomenal degree of
prosperity has obtained across both bor-
ders.
The Wayne Automobile Company, of
Detroit, has sold large proportion of the
American cars now in use in Canada. ae-
cording to Jess S. Draper, general sales
