he left the Tombs carrying the heavy overcoat under his arm. Another man advised Thaw by letter to allow his hair to grow until the jury had rendered a verdict. Perhaps that is the reason his long, dark brown hair needs trimming and is so unkempt. Prisoners, after they have been con fined in the Tombs, or any other pris- on, for that matter for a length of time naturally grow supersttious. Thaw, however, developed that failing years ago and, it is said, often visited phrenologists and clairvoyants and frequently needed their advice. Dur ing his incarceration in the city prison a number of fortune tellers and spirit ualists have endeavored to secure an audience with him. Thaw carries a rabbits foot in his vest pocket every time he enters the court room. This was sent him from Virginia by pick aninny who wrote that it saved a ne- gro from the gallows.

 He has announced his intention to de- molish the old Dodge mansion, for which he recently paid $500.000, to make his art museum absolutely safe from fire. The museum, which stands on the same block, bounded by Thirty sixth and Thirty-seventh streets, Park and Madison avenues, is a magnifi- cent building, erected at cost of $2,000,000 The museum itself is a thoroughly fireproof structure. built throughout of terra-cotta hollow tile brick, and is considered practically immune from flames. It is store house of priceless art treasures, which constitute one of the most valuable private collections of paintings, tapes tries and worries in the world. MT.

MOVE THEM AWAY

The action of the city council Tues day night in condemning the old cot ton platform on Front Street meets with universal approval among the citizens of Prescott. It has long been an eye-sore and breeder of disease germs, and it ought to be moved. The Railroad Company ought not to object to having it moved. There should be harmony between the town and the railroad. They have many interests in common.
 It is also significant to note the sense of the council on the question of mov- ing the depot out of Main street to a more suitable location. There has been much discussion heretofore about the question. Many of the best citizens of Prescott have been against it, but there has been for some time a grow ing sentiment in favor of moving the depot. There are many reasons why it should be moved. It would reduce the probability of loss by fire of nearby houses. It would tend to beautify the town and give symetry to the busi- ness section. It would relieve the con- gested and dangerous condition of cars and wagons and teams which are some times apparent. It would also take an eye-sore and a disease breeder from the center of the city.
 The strongest argument that can be given against moving the depot is the inconvenience to the merchants in handling freight. The effect it would have on the value of adjoining real estate and the trade center amounts to

One Shall Be Left.

Grown are all the others, some of them
 almost old. But the one that died when a baby is
 mine to cuddle and hold. Married away are the others into their
 worlds apart, But the laughing baby that died lies
 cradled upon my heart Life is crueller than death, for life is a
 subtle thief Stealing by slow degrees till tall past the
 hearts belief The men and the women go-yea, even
 the memories Of childish faces and forms are stolen by
 slow degrees. But the laughing baby that died, the one
 little child I gave Into deaths outstretched arms, is the one
 little child I save Kinder is death than life-oh, lone is the
 twilight gray, With empty arms would I sit had my
 heart not broken one day. Fanny Kemble Johnson, in Youth s Companion.
