New York. March-Harry K Thaw may never again face the jury empan- eled more than nine weeks ago to try him on the charge of murder in the first degree Justice Fitzgerald having unexpectedly named a com mission in lunacy to inquira into the present state of mind of Stanford Whites slayer The decision oi the three disinterested men named to conduct the inquiry will guide the flu ture action of the court as to ordering Thaw to an asylum for the insane or directing that the trial that has been interrupted shall proceed. Justice Fitzgerald announced the appointment of the commission privately in cham bers. Evelyn Thaw was there with the lawyers, and it became her task to break the news to her h2sband in the Tombs.

Hope for Settlement.

Chicago, March.-No progress was made Tuesday toward reporting a set clement of the controversy between the Western railroads and their em ployes, who voted to strike unless certain demands were complied with by the general managers. A commit tee representing the men met with the general managers and submitted the result of the vote The meeting was held behind closed doors. and while nothing official was given out it was stated by those in authority that no definite basis for settlement WAS reached. Anoher conference has beea arranged for, when the efforts for a peaceable adjustment of the difficulty will be renewed. While both the op posing interests on the surface appear to be determined not to concede any. thing, it is the general belief that the trouble will be settled satisfactorily to both sides without the men quitting work

In point of diversity of charac- ter the old soldiers in the national home are not unlike what they were during the civil war Character tends to fiXcdncss. Habits are not easily changed. Among the mem- bcrs of the home are many whom any man would be glad to know :; and if there are othcrS-as 1t was indeed in the civil war, both m the army and navy-l find it hard to think anything unworthy ot one who still wears the coat of the long ago days of the civil war. Time has dealt not altogether kindly with the men in every respect Many of them for years had good homes from which, for one cause CT an- other. the light has gone out. In the hospital one day l came 10 the bedside of a veteran who told me he was S5 years old.
 "Have you a wife:'I asked. He said he had.
 And how old is she? 2 I inquired.
 "Eighty-threc,' was the reply.
 "Well," 1 added, it is certainly hard for you to be separated at this time of life"
 Yes" he said, but the pension money was not enough for us both; and so I came here in order that she might have it all. "-World To-Day.

The yeara of '97 and '98 l was confined to my he'd most of the time. I was under doctors, treatment but found no relief. My legs were swollen from the hips down. ward and red blotches appeared All over them. Frequently they pained me so that I had to bind them tig1tlv with strips of linen. This sometimes relieved the pain but at other times failed to do so. At times 1 had to crawl to my work, using two crutches. During these spells l suffered greatly from pain around my heart which at. tributed to the rheumatism
 "At last my mother wrote me and asked me to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I did and in a short time l found myself getting better and have had no trouble since. l may here add that I consider myself perfectly cured I have not had the least sign of the disease since and feel better now than I ever did. For these reasons
