PASTOR TELLs U. .'ra.u nal KILLS
Rev. Madison Peters Draws Moral te Warn Young Men and Women of Stain That Mars Our
 American Life.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S-The trial O, Harry K. Thaw for the killing of Stan ford White was resumed here today with the examination of talesmen fol the jury. five being yet required tt complete it.
 Thaw, 1t Is said, is much enraged by the false stories in the papers and broke out into imprecations wher he read of the reported intention O. the Countess of Yarmouth to return tt England. The seven Jurors already SC lected spent the first Sunday of theil confinement at their hotel under tht guard of Captain William J. Lynch and six officers of the court.
 One of the counsel for Harry K. Thaw states that neither emotional in sanity nor the ''unwritten law" will be pleaded in his defense. The defense will require about five days for presen. tation of its testimony to justify Thaw's killing of Stanford White.
 Dr. Madison c. Peters in his sermon in the Majestic theater pointed oui some lessons which, he said, needed t, be learned from the Thaw-W White trag edy and emphasized the fact that haG young Thaw but learned some of these lessons himself he would not today bt an accused murderer in a prison cell He continued:
 "There are many of his kind in New York today who are going the pace that kills, youths whose pockets are plethoric with money they never earn. ed and money oftentime coined out of the blood of the poor.
 If all the evidence is brought out We will have written during this trial the blackest page that has ever stained our American life. It will tell a story of crimes worse than murder, the sto ry of men of large wealth who are making it their business to degrade womanhood, turning the rotting force of wealth to the corruption of innocent girlhood whose only misfortune is its poverty.
 Sad to say, there are too many among us who look with lustful long. ing upon every innocent girl who has beauty enough to attract their atten. tion, men who use the power of their money in seeking to encompass her ruin and who ever partake of chang. ing feast where virtue is the first dish.
 Disgusting as will be the details O. the present trial, nevertheless it vii work good in the end if the peopl learn the practices of the so calle, high, life of New York-high life run low.
 'The lesson which neither White no Thaw ever learned was that of sel cOntrOl.'

1t Saved More Than Labor.

Labor saving devices always make for prosperity" MT. Garfield said "The accusations brought against them are rarely logical. On the contrary, these accusations have as a rule as little logic in them as had the claim of a tattered tramp.
 "This tramp, appealing to a kind old farmer for help. whined:
 "'Wunst I wuz in fair way ter be- come a millionaire, but one of these here labor savin' devices knocked me out
 How so, my poor fellow? the farmer asked.
 CT wuz doin' fine,' the tramp ex- plained, 'holdin' down bartender's job in saloon, when the boss went and put in cash register"

Light backgrounds marked with stripes in the same color but much deeper tone are unusually effective in the new velvets, which are made up in the long, close-fitting coats. Often the skirts are finished with bands of the same material piped with bit of, dark cloth or satin, and 1t Is seldom that the trimmings are limited to the, frock's own material.

Young Merchant Killed by Police.


 DANVlLLE, Va, Jan. 2S. - R. D Reynolds, young merchant, was kill ed in a pistol duel with three police officers in the Tenderloin here. Prior to the killing Reynolds had shot and injured Tom Corbln while in house of questionable character He ran out of the house. and the officers took him to be Albert Adkins, an escaped pris- oner, and commanded him to halt. fir- ing at the same time to frighten him. Reynolds returned the fire. Eight or ten shots were fired at him before he fell dead. None of the policemen was injured. The victim was about twen- weight years old and well connected. Corbin's injuries are not regarded as fatal,

ftttIno a skirt.

Trouble is sometimes experienced in fitting skirt to a stout figure, but little insight into the correct method of changing the pattern will be say. ing of time and patience. After cut. ting and carefully basting the seams try the skirt on. It must be pinned smoothly around the hips. the front gore hanging perfectly straight. The fullness of the back should now be laid into plaits and pinned into place. In cutting the skirt for a stout person it is well to cut the front and first side gore little longer than the pattern. It is very essential that the front gore be kept in the position in which 1t is now pinned. To do this the side gores will have to be lifted.

sINeULARLY SEVERE DISCIPLINE
UNDER WHICH He LIVES.
Monastery Near Rome Where Vows
of Silence, Penanoe, self-deniaI
and Work Are Taken by
the Inmates.

In that part of the Agro Romano,
where malarial fevers reign supreme,
at a short distance from the Via
Ostensi high road, appears in its sol.
emn solitude the Abbey of Ire Fon-
tame, at the end of magnificent ave.
nue.. 1t is a fit place for meditation
and melancholy.
A Trappist never speaks-such is
the rule. His voice is only heard,
monotonous and weak, almost drowned
by the notes of the organ which ac-
company his morning psalms or even
ing prayers in the large church of the
convent, with its huge arcades and
high, dark ceiling. Trappists do not
cultivate art. In their churches are
no imposing tombs, nor do they adorn
their choirs with those fine stalls that
are masterpieces of wood-carving and
inlaid work, and which are to be ad.
mired in most abbeys Of the Benedic.
tines. The Trappists instead sit in
poor stalls, the boards of which are
roughly put together.
The order Of the Trappists is most
strict and requires men having a true
vocation and strong will to persevere
IN it. Silence is undoubtedly one of
the greatest punishments that can be
,cdictod, even temporarily, upon pris.
oners; we may therefore guess how
much strength Of will and self-denial
are required to keep it spontaneously

net all. The rule of fasting is peremp-
tory, and is also observed in case of
sickness, unless the doctor finds it
necessary to order a different diet.
The cooking does not, afford many re-
sources, as meat, eggs, and even fish
are excluded-thus their meals are
purely vegetarian. Dinner consists of
a soup, vegetable, and fruit; supper of
potatoes, salad, and water-without
speaking of all the fasting days, dur
ing which they only take little bread.
It could not, indeed, be otherwise, for
the orders of the Trappists, or, rather,
the order of the Cistercians, Of which
the Trappists are branch, was found
ed for penance, self-denial and work.
The bed of a Trappist consists of a
plain pallet without any bedclothes,
for he goes to bed dressed, wearing
his everyday clothes. At two o'clock
in the morning bell is heard calling
the monks to church. In the dim light
of Pickering lanterns they go down to
church to recite, in chorus, the seven
penitential psalms.
After the morning prayers have been
recited, they go to bed again, but not
for long; at dawn the bells are heard
through the convent. 1t is time to &c
to church again to sing Mathis, After
wards the Trappist attends to house
hold affairs, and then sits down t.
breakfast, a plain meal consisting o
a piece of bread and a hot beverage
But the vineyards and the orchards o
the convent are of an abundance which
contrasts greatly with the poverty o.
che monks existence, The Trappist;
cultivate a very extensive property
where fruits of all kinds grow plenti
fully, the grapes being most abundant

opening of the club Col. Howe said
to them
eYou are men now, and are about
to be thrown with men in all kinds
of positions, and we want you to get
into the habits of men as far as the
limited opportunities here will per-
init. We want you by your personal
practices to become familiar enough
with tRose habits that when you meet
men outside, no matter where, you
can conduct yourselves with proper
self-reliance and savoir faire. We
want you to be ready to enter fully
upon the responsibilities and obliga-
tons of mans estate.
Greater privileges carry with them
greater responsibilities, and it is i'm
portant that you learn this lesson
well.
This idea is a radical departure
from the disciplinary policy of the
military academy in SO far as you
cadets of the first class are concerned.
To a large extent your time now be-
comes your own, to be disposed of as
you may choose. With the privileges
accorded you In connection with this
club, you have at once a distinct and
dignified status, In many respects
identical with that which you will
enjoy after graduation. In other
words. you have assumed to a con
siderable extent the prerogative of
regulating the minor details OF your
own lives, Upon you, as the first
cadets TO enjoy these privileges, de-
wolves the duty and responsibility of
demonstrating that this prerogative
has not been injudiously extended

WEST POINT CLUB THE TRAPPET monk
SENIOR CLASS OF ACADEMY PER-
MlTTEp TO ORGANIZE.
Innovation Instituted Under the ri.
rection Of Col. Howe to Supply
Need Of Larger Liberty for
Graduate Glass.

No fraternities are permitted In the
United States military academy at
West Point and for this reason there
has always been an apparent lack Of
sophistication and self-reliance on
the part of the senior class at the
time of graduate. Denied the privil-
eyes OF free social intercourse with
one another, save such as was per
mitted in common with all the other
classes of the academy, there has
been no opportunity of developing
that degree of self-reliance which is
so essential to the cadet when he
gets out from under the rigid discip-
line of the academy after graduation
and mingles with men. To those who
have studied the conditions 1t has
been recognized that to hold the cadet
to the same rigid order Of discipline
through his entire course left him in
a measure unequal to the broader
frecr manner of life which was to
follow graduation, and for this reason
the first, or senior, class has with
the beginning of the new year been
permitted to organize a club a
large room in the academic building
has been fitted up as comfortable
reading, writing and recreation room
or the exclusive use of the men o.
Dtha first class.
For many years it has been th,
desire of the authorities to differen-
tiate the senior class from the res
of the corps and at the same time to
There to the disciplinary require
ments of the academy. The problem
has been of particular interest to the
present commandant of cadets, Col.
Robert L. Howe, and he has under
taken it, solution in part by the es.
tablishment of this club.
The working hours of the cadet be-
gin at 7:15 a. m, at which time he
has put his room in order. has had
his breakfast and is ready for study
and recitation. From that hour until
ten p. m. his time is occupied with
official duties, with the exception of
about an hour and a half, divided
into two or three periods. With the
exception Of these periods he is re
quired to remain in his room prepar-
ing himself for recitation.
The radical feature of the new
club is the privilege accorded the
men of the first class of visiting it
whenever they may choose in the
study hours. They are permitted to
spend as much time in the club as
they may desire and to employ thai
time as they see fit. No restrictions
are placed on them in this respect,
except that the existing standards of
academic requirements will not be
lowered. The conduct Of the club
will be regulated by a board of gov
errors from among the cadets under
certain club rules framed much after
the bylaws Of the average club.

first class on the occasion of the

The monks manufacture from the

tine, and they also produce an essence
and an oil of eucalyptus. The money
derived from the sale of these is used
for the payment of a debt to the
Italian government. The debt was
contracted for retaining the Agro
Romano near the convent.
The reader may ask himself how
the Trappists spend all their money.
This cannot be positively stated. At
Durham, in South Africa, in a place
which was once only a desert the
monks bought $4,000 acres, every bit
of which Is cultivated now. They
founded warehouses, kitchens for the
poor, mills, a telegraphic and tele-
phonic Office, a hospital with labora-
tories, and free schools, where thou
sands Of Kafirs are fed and educated. |
They accomplished all this with the |
money belonging to the order. the |
amount of which is not known to any |
body. Trappists never speak, as the
rule says, but were they to do so they |
certainly would not tell anybody about
the mysteries Of their Rules"
