Noted AIIenIsts in court

! NOICu AUc0lSIS IN OouTI
The presence Of three noted alien
lists in the court room as prospective
witnesses for the prosecution created
some comment.
Thaw sat during the day at the table
set apart for his counsel. At times he
seemed to take a lively interest in
the examination of the men summoned
to decide his fate.
Again he would seem listless and his
eyes, deep set and having something
of a stare, roved about the court room.
His face was pallid, doubtless due to
his seven months confinement in the
Tombs.
Just behind the prisoner sat the sew
eral members of his family. They
greeted the prisoner with smile as
he strobe past on the way to his seat.
Thaw bowed to them graciously. Mrs.
William Thaw the prisoners mother,
was dressed in black and wore a heavy
black veil, her white hair showing in
striking contrast against the somber
costume. She sat with her eyes fixed
on her son and spoke seldom to her
children about her.
The countess of Yarmouth, who was
Miss Alice II NV. followed her mother.
Her gown was of brown, cut with
coat effect. There was a decided muir
mer as the spectators noted the stril<-
ing resemblance between the countess
and the prisoner.
Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie, an
other sister of the defendant, came in
with the countess.
Woman in Case Present
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw around
whom the storm of the great trial will
rage, appeared with May Mckenzie,
the actress, who has been her sole
companion since the night of the
tragedy when the artists model wife
of Stanford Whites slayer, fled to Miss
McKenzie'S apartment. The young
Mrs. Thaw was dressed in dark blue
and wore a plain dark hat, which was
almost entirely covered by a white
tulle veil.
Not once during the day did Mrs.
Thaw remove the veil, but her features
were plainly discernible and there was
about them much of the beauty which
caused her to be so widely sought as
a model for noted artists
She seemed to take the keenest in
terest in every question and was con-
stantly nodding her head as though to
give assent to some mental conclusion
she had reached. Hardly once during
the day did Harry Thaw take his eyes
from the front and look at his rela-
tives.
The family party was escorted to
automobile cabs at the end of the day
by squad of policemen.
Aside from the members of the fam
lily there We're only four women in the
court room and these were newspaper
writer's. The attendance today was
confined to newspaper people and jury
talesmen.
The two Jurors selected were turned
over to a bailiff who will have them
in charge until the end of the trial.
They are Deming B. Smith. a retired
manufacturer of umbrellas, and
Charles Fecke, an employing teamster
There will be two daily sessions of
the trial, concluding each afternoon at
o'clock.

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The resig-
nation of Theodore p. Shonts as chair
man of the Isthmian canal commission
was announced at the White House
today. It will take effect not later
than March 4, Mr.. Shonts having been
elected today as president of the Inter-
borough Metropolitan company, which
controls the rapid transit and many
surface lines in New York
No announcement was made as to
who will succeed Mr.. Shonts as chair
man of the commission, but it was
learned authortatively that headquar-
ters would be removed from Washing
ton to the isthmus and that a high sal
aried chairman to serve in that Capa-
city alone will not be named.
This being admitted it follows that
John +. Stevens, the engineer in charge
of the construction of the canal,
would not be made subordinate to an
other official on the isthmus. 1t is re-
garded as a certainty that Mr.. Stevens
will be named as chairman of the COM
mission in connection with his post as
chief engineer.
Mr.. Shonts' retirement does not come
wholly as n surprise. 1t has been
rumored persistently that as soon as
action had been taken on the PROPOSE
tion to build by contract Mr. Shonts
would resume a calling more Congenial
to his taste. Secretary Taft today con-
firmed that rumor by saying that Mr..
Shonts' resignation was voluntary,
which fact is borne out by the presi-
dents letter in accepting it.
The correspondence follows:
MY Dear President:
81 hereby tender my resignation as
chairman of the Isthmian canal com
mission, effective at your pleasure, but
not later than March 4, 1907.
1T is unnecessary for me to assure
you of my great appreciation of the
confidence you have reposed in me and
of the splendid support you have al
ways accorded me since my first APP
pointment by you.
Very sincerely yours,
'T. p. SHONTS."

Nine.Gored Skirt.

The nine-gored skirt that is made
with inverted pleats is most salts
factory one from every point of view.
1t provides sufficient fulness for grace
and flare at the lower edge, while II
is stitched flat over the hips and ID
without bulk at that point. Again.
it requires only a small amount Of
material where the cores can be cut
in and out, and even where material
must all be cut one way, leaves suM'
GENTLY large pieces to allow OF cut

paratively small pattern. In this in.
stance the material is a novelty goods
of wool with threads of silk and the
trimming is bands of taffeta, but
braid can be similarly applied. Bands
of broadcloth are well liked on rough
material or on velvet or velveteen
and again the skirt can be finished
with a stitched hem only. All sea-
sonable materials that are used for
walking skirts are appropriate.
The skirt is cut in nine cores. these
cores all being cut with extensions
below the stitchings that are laid In
inverted pleats and pressed fat.

FARM NOTES.

The small farm with the small herd
is vastly better than a large farm
with large herd, because the small
farm will do more in proportion than
the large one.
1t is estimated that an active man
and an active boy can attend to if
teen cows. These on fifty acres Of
land near a good town ought to make
for him good living.
Salt, thoroughly rubbed around on
the inside of churn, after it has
been rinsed with hot water is a first
rate thing to make it clean and sweet.
Rinse the salt out with water.
The following figures show how i'm
portant it is to exercise care in wash
ing out milk pals, for in an actual
experiment there were found: In the
first washing 7,SS9,OO0 bacteria, in
the second washing $4,000, and in
the third washing $4,000
Under present conditions only the
best sheep will yield profit, and the
poor ones are burden on the bal
ance of the flock.
IL sheep are kept IN hooks OF not
more than fifty, they will do best,
especially if they are of the western
breeds.
To make sheep most profitable or
at once profitable, no source of
revenue must be neglected, whether it
be mutton, fleece or increase.
Old sheep should always be kept
out of the flock. as young sheep clip
heavier fieeces, require less atten-
ton and are more profitable.
While grades often make the best
mutton sheep and are the most
growthy, the second class is not near
ly so valuable as the first
In nealy all cases the lower wool
and sheep are, the better the sheep
must be. and the heavier their
feeces to return a profit.
1t costs from forty to sixty cents
to thin a good tree and it increases
the value of the crop very much, as
the remainder grow so much larger. BY
doing this you can take OF all de-
formed or wormy fruit. 1t should be
| done when the fruit is not more than
| an inch in diameter.

these shirrings can be drawn up by
means of ribbons inserted in castings
or simply formed by gathers as liked.
There is a seam at the centre back OF
the head portion which can be Joined
or tied together at the edges, this lat
ter plan being by far the better one
when washable material is used, as
the cap can then be laid open quite
smooth and fiat and Numbered with
perfect ease. 1t also allows choice
of plain finish or the revers and the
revers for either cape can be cut on
the outlines illustrated.

THE HORSES. FEET.

Many farmers do not think about
the necessity Of not only feeding
their horses and keeping them proper
iy bedded, ETC., but also caring for
their feet. They leave that work to
be done in the blacksmith shop when
necessity compels something of the
kind to be attended to. There should
be in every stable a pair of hoof
pinchers. They were frequently re-
ferred to by my old associate, DR..
VIM. Dixon. The pinchers have sharp
edges and a good throat. so that they
can be easily applied to the rim of
the hoof when upheld, and the wall
of the hoof pinched OF back to
proper length. When horses are run
ming in pasture or are upon the roads
so that they wear on this growth,
then there Is but little need of this

the exercise should be such that the

doing it, Outlines we see hens con.
fined in coop or yard, walk back
and forth eagerly seeking some place
by which they may gain their liberty;
this is exercise, but the wrong kind,
the kind that does more injury than

By scratching in litter the hens
may get large percent of the much
needed exercise. 1t is a natural and
agreeable way and the hens will
truly enjoy it. The blood is kept in
circulation and the bodies are made
warm.
1t is an excellent idea to have
scratching shed in connection with
Inc putty mousse proper, especially
dring winter, where the fowls can get
fresh air and sun during the long cold
days. 1t should be built adjoining the
house and have large windows on the
south, SO as to admit plenty of sun
light. 1t is necessary to double-board
it as it is merely scratching place
for the hens during the day. Keep
a litter of chaff, leaves or cut straw
on the floor, and upon this throw the
grain. The litter may be FIVE or six
inches deep. Some use it ten or
twelve inches deep, but this does not
matter much if the grain is in it, for
the hens know it and they will lose
no time until every grain is found.
When the entire meal is intended to
be given in the litter, be sure to give
enough to satisfy the appetites, else
the amount of feed obtained will not
supply the amount of energy lost in
searching for it. On winter mornings
we give half feed of mash, then the
remainder of the meal in the litter

The new necklaces are accepted as
welcome substitutes for jeweled dog

would be a boon to scraggy necks,

the beauty doctors really have left

Warm Winters I'm Europe.

A Russian meteoroligist, Woeikof,
has been studying the temperature
recorded at Stockholm, Sweden, for
the $50 years which precede 1906.
He finds that there is a disposition
toward warm winters there about
once in eight years. This period does
not correspond with that of sun spot
frequency or any other phenomenon
external to the earth. Woeikof
therefore attributes it to such
changes in the distribution of air
pressure as alter the direction of the
prevailing winds. He has discov-
cred that the situation at st. Peters
burg corresponds rather closely to
that of Stockholm, but he declares
that when the winters are mild In
Northern Europe they are usually
severe in the south, and especially
in the southwest.
