TIE THAW TRIAL.

Everybody reads the Thaw murder
trial, which is being conducted in the
oaty OF New York On June 25. 1906.
Harry K Thaw shot and killed Stan
ford White at Madison Square roof
Farden theater. Thaw's wife, Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw. was before her mar
rage to Thaw. a young actress. and
also at one time was the protege Of
Hr. White. Jealousy OF White was
the cause Of the tragedy
Thaw belongs to a millionaire fam
iiy OF Pittsburg, Pa, and at one time
vas a high roller in society and an
eccentric and reckless spendthrift He
fell madIy in love NTH the beau
tffuI young actress. Evelyn Nesbit, and
pronered her honorable marriage,
which. after some hesitancy and much
tormenting delay, was accepted. In
the revelations brought to light by the
trial Thaw appears in an admirable
light as an ardent, gentlemanly. high
minded woOer, tormented to the verge
If not to the reality OF emotional in
sanity, by White, who tried in every
way to baIk Thaw in his sut for the
hand OF the beautiful Evelyn
On the other hand, at the present
status Of the trial. Stanford White ap-
pears as a beastIy monster OF infquity,
drugging and betraying an innocent
girl not yet sixteen years Of age
These charges were expressly made
by Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw on the
witness stand, and were, indeed, alb
sOluteIy horrible in their awful and
damnabIe detail. Any sensitive and
high-minded person cannot repress a
shudder in the reading Of these awful
things; and most men viii say served
him right" and declare that Thaw
is even worthy Of commendatiOn for
removing such a monster as White
from the face Of the earth.
It has also been proved that White
in rage at Thaw, made a threat against
his life with unprintable epithets and
oaths. While the pea Of the defense
in part is insanity, with proof which
is both probable and reasonable,
Whites threat gives good. ground for
defense in pleading justifable homo
eide. White kept up his annoyances
OF Mrs. Thaw even after her marriage,
and added provocation to provocatiOn
for the act OF Thaw on the fatal night
OF June 25, 1906.
Up to the present time, IN the pro-
ceedings Of the trial. everything points
to Thaw's acquittaI by the jury; at
any rate, it is thought no conviction
will be possible. It will be, in that
case, either a new trial or a disagree
ment Of the jury. We give in another
place what Anthony Comstock, presi-
dent Of the New Yory Society for the
Suppression Of Vice has to say.

One day during the campaign OF

the majors auditors was a citizen IN q

omission and interrupted
How about the Philipayins ?" he
asked with a brogue which left no
doubt as to his nativity.
Major Newman continued without
appearing to notice the questiOner.

Half a dozen OF these interruptions
followed with no apparent let-up to
the Irishman's persistence.

length. "Fu tell you about the Philip

The imitation OF the brogue was
perfect. and everybody chuckled-
''Tn tell ycu confidently said the
major seriously, what I'm n favor Of
doing With the Phiil1pzyins. I'd trade
the Philipayins TO Great Britain for

Marx Alfred Carleton, cerez1ist Of
the United States department. OF agri-
culture, strOIled into an ONCE in Chi
cagO yesterday, says the Chicago Rec
Ord-Herald Of February s, in time to
learn that a sale Of 100000 bushels OF
durum wheat had Just been made for
shipment to Russia In 1888 Mr..
Carleton brought over the first durum
wheat ever imported BY the govern
ment, thirty bushels, and his report
upon It was so favorable that a year
later, in 1900, a lot OF 1000 bushels
was brought over and used exclusive
" for seed From this beginning.
which cost the government, al told,
less than $4,000, the crop OF about
so. 100000 bushels durum wheat was
raised last year. The bulk OF this was
raised IN the two DakOtas, although
Mr. Carleton reports that It reaches
its highest perfection in western Kan
sas, and eastern Colorado. It IS a
coincidence that the Russian purchase
Of wheat IS going back TO precisely
the sections from which the United
States made its original importation,
the VOIga district mainly In the
Kirghiz steppes Of western Siberia
whence a portion OF the original du-
rum wheat impOrtatiOns were shipped,
the annual rainfall is s TO 10 inches.
The most arid portion Of the 10000
600 acres Of the United States adapt
ed to the raising Of durum wheat has
a rainfall OF over Is inches In Rus
sia the durum or macarOni wheat
sells at q premium OF about 5 to Z
cents over the best northern spring
wheat, whereas its position in the
American markets is the reverse, its
discount being 8 to II cents now, and
il has frequently sold as low as Is
cents below northern spring wheat
For the benefit Of mfIlers who have
cOntended that durum wheat cannot
be used in this country to advantage
Mr.. Carleton calls attention to the fact
that the same Hungarian roller pro-
cess is used to grind wheat by mills
throughout Russia that is in use in
this country. He also calls attention
TO the fact that visiting Americans
and Europeans have a high regard
for the Russian white bread.
