Pittshure Heiress and Beauty Who Is
 Now Countess of Yarmouth.
 The Countess of Yarmouth, who came to America to attend the trial of her brother, Harry K Thaw, for the killing of the architect, Stanford White, was Miss Alice Thaw, and her marriage on April 27. 1903, at her mothers home in Pittsburg to the Earl of Yarmouth was one of the leading society topics of the year.
 According to some authorities, it was Harry Ihaw himself who brought about the marriage between his sister and George Francis Alexander Sey- mour, earl of Yarmouth and eldest son and heir of the Marquis of Hertford.

 At any rate, in signed statement is- sued after the nuptials the young man now on trial for his life wrote:

 The earl had good many financial troubles in this country prior to his marriage to Miss Thaw. Tailors, land. lords and other creditors put him through some rather embarrassing ex. periences.

and tempest of the first trial beat out It's
fury, will again take the stand In her
husbands defence. A report has been
current for some time that she will not,
but the Thaw case always has been sur
rounded by every class OF rumor and sug-
gestion that human ingenuity can in
vent.
A definite decision as to the matter OF
placing the girl again upon the stand
may not be arrived at until the trial is
well under way. Without her testimony
there world be difficulty in making out a
case of emotional insanity-a defence
which would have to be relied upon TO
gain for Thaw absolute freedom.
II medical or hereditary insanity be the
plan of the defence the best Thaw can
hope for is an indefinite commitment to
the state hospital for the criminal In
sane at Matteawan
Neither Thaw nor his wife relishes the
idea of placing the girl at the mercy of
another cross-examination by Mr.. Jerome,
who, unmoved by her tears or the burning
OF her cheeks with shame, forced her to
admit the long-continued relations which
existed between her and Stanford White
and TO tell the jury in plain words of the
two European tours she made with Thaw
before she became his wife
The second trial may not last more than
a few weeks.

PRESIDENTS HABIT
OF PREACHING GROWS

washington, Nov 25.-Nothing that
President Roosevelt has given to the pub
lie lately illustrates more clearly his
growing habit Of preaching" than the
little lecture he delivered in the letter
which he wrote TO Secretary Cortelyou
congratulating him upon the plan for re-
lieving the financial stringency by issu-
ing Panama canal bonds and "Roose-
Welt" certificates.
In that statement the president In so
many words admonished the public to be
good and promised them that II they did
everything would come out right, and IL
not things would all go wrong
However. like almost everything else
that Mr. Roosevelt does. the little unim-
portant feature OF II has been lost sight
OF In the Importance OF the main trans
action. II matters not now whether Pres
ident Roosevelt or Secretary Cortelyou or
some banker in New York was the au-
thor of the plan OF furnishing the much
desired flow OF currency.
The fact that II is flowing; that after
all is the object sought so the public will
soon forget all about the presidents lit
tie lecture. They will be good, just as
he tells them to. and the country will
again take off its hat to the president OF
the United states and the secretary. OF
the treasury.

WAY DOWN EAST"
TONIGHT'S ATTRACTION

That delightful play OF New England
life, way Down East" will be the at
traction at the Providence Opera House
all week. beginning tonight and those
who have witnessed it's presentation here
in seasons past will no doubt go and see
1t again. There is something that is en-
ticing about this play and that il has lost
none OF its popularity with theatre
goers is evident from the immense
throngs of people II attracts In every city
1t visits. For number of years this
homely story has attracted to II hundreds
OF people who await it's annual visits
with keen anticipation, for they know
that they will see play that is pure and
wholesome.
Lottie Blair Parker builded better than
she knew when she constructed "way
Down East" and she has given the
American stage a play that will live for
years-perhaps forever. The characters
In the piece are human beings who live
and are to be found In every little settle
ment In the state OF New Hampshire
where the action OF the play transpires
The play fairly abounds in "Atmos-
phere' and one can almost smell the fra
grant odors OF the New Hampshire pines
as the delightful and interesting story is
unfolded.
One great secret OF the success of "way
Down East" lies In the fact that Man
ager Brady has never allowed his pro-
duction to grow old or shopworn. AS each
season has closed the production then In
use has been cast aside and a force OF
scenic painters Immediately put to work
painting a complete new production
