New York, Feb. S.-Evelyn is ex.
pected to complete early today her
direct testimony, and begin the cross.
examination. Jerome disbelieves
much of the story, particularly Sc.
duction by drugged wine, but even il
he proves 1t wholly false it must
leave the legal status the same, as the
jury is only to- determine If the story
would contribute to the mental un-
soundness of the defendant.
Jerome early this morning had ar
rested Maize Toilette, Anna Crane
and Edna Chase chorus girl friends
of Evelyn, and is looking for Hittie
Forsythe and Paula Desmond. who
are expected to testify to the rela-
tions of Evelyn and White after the
alleged seduction.
Thaw's Crazy Letters.
Delmas read the postscript of a let
ter from Thaw to Longfellow which
was submitted in evidence yesterday.
and showed it to be incoherent and
wherein he spoke of himself as the
third person. Evelyn testified he
meant her in writing of a third per-
son and expressing, sympathy for the
subject of the letter. discoursing upon
the lies she had been told. Delmas
brought out the peculiarities of the
letter. The reading of the letter oc-
cupied some time, the phraseology
and authorizations being confusing to
the counsel and the contents a jumble
of ideas.
A letter by Thaw to Evelyn with
the same confusion of ideas was read
1t contained the sentence. II promise
never to hurt you again"
Jerome expects to controvert Eve
lyn's statements that Thaw was al
ways good to her and refute her tes-
timony that he did not abuse her in
Europe.
Evelyn Thaw on the Stand.
Evelyn resumed the stand at the
opening of court.
Delmas asked Evelyn, did you at
any time tell Thaw about the episode |
relating to White from the time of !
your arrival in New York in Novem-
ber, 1908, until Christmas next?" |
Evelyn said, "He asked me why l had |

there were but 40 seats left on the
lower floor and they were poor ones.
The best remaining seats were taken
this morning, and this afternoon onIv

gallery remains.
However, those who want to see the
play need not be deferred from going
through lack of seats. The gallery

The railroad situation while look
ing much better this morning is de-
cidedly worse than ever this evening.
No trains reached the city from the
west today, and it Is likely that none
will arrive from that direction until
late tonight. No. 8, the morning
train, was expected to arrive at 2
o'clock and was so bulletined until
noon when it was annulled and all
hope of an eastbound train was
abandoned.
One easthound train which arrived
last night carried very small guam
tity of Portland mail, several days
old. but nc late mail was received
from that direction.
All the streams along the line are
now very high and number of
bridges are endangered. The warm
er weather of last night and today is
also softening the snow in the Cas-
cades and the slide situation is made
worse by rising water and 1t Is
thought that the worst is yet to come.
The ice on the Columbia at and
below The Dalles Is beginning to
break up and will soon block tho
locks at the Cascades so it will be
impossible to use boats within
short time.
The o. r. & n. bridges at Des-
chutes, John Day, Arlington, Heppner
junction and other places are all in
danger and the track is soft and much
damage is expected when the snow
begins to melt rapidly There is a
heavy snowfall all along the Columbia
and every stream is now very high
and rising rapidly.
Pendleton Still Cut Off
Locally, the situation is no better.
The Walla Wala branch Is still
blocked, the w. e. c. r. Is not yet
opened and a washout on the Spo-
kane branch from Umatilla has stop
ped all traffic in that direction. East
ward the lines are still open and No.
l, the wectbound morning train pass
ed this afternoon shortly after (
o'clock.
Railroad men look for n serious
tieup within a few days when the |
heavy snow along the Columbia be- |
gins to melt. All the available forces
of the system are now employed in |
the blockade. over 400 men are at |
work on the snowslides west of The
palles.
To complicate the situation, a num-

possible to relieve the situation and

flc but the heavy snowfall in the Cas-

Practical Arithmetic.

A teacher received the following
from complaining parent few days
ago, says the New Zealand Graphic:'
Sir: Will you please for the future
give my boy some eesier scmes to do

gallons Of bere will fill thirty-to pint
bottles, how many pint and half bot

tried and could make nothing Of it all,
and my boy cried and sed he wouldn't
go back without doing it. So had to
go and buy a nine-gallon key of bere
which could ill afford to do, and then
we went and borrowed a lot of wine
and brandy bottles, besides a few we
had by us. Well, we emptied the keg
into the bottles and Their were nineteen,

Doing as They Are Told.

Native servants in India have the
generally desirable though sometimes
inconvenient virtue of the Chinese
doing exactly as they are told. The
trouble is that they seldom use judg-
ment.
Lord Roberts, during a campaign in
India, had ordered his man to prepare
his bath at a certain hour. One day
a fierce engagement was going on, but
the servant made his way through a
storm of bullets and appeared at the
commanders SIDE
"Sahib," said he, your bath is
ready"
Even a better story comes from an
unknown soldier, who was awakened
one morning by feeling the servant of
a brother officer pulling at his foot.
''Sahib," whispered the man-"sa-
hib, what am 1 to do? My master
told me to wake him at half-past 6,
but he did not go to bed till T."

Prophested Teddy.s Greatness.

More entertaining, perhaps, and
equally interesting, are the anecdotes
which are told about our President by
the Minkwitz family. Frau Fischer
distinctly recollects that once she
prophesied the future greatness Of
young Teddy. She says: zone day I
had a conversation with Mrs. Roose-
velt who said to me, I wonder what
is going to become of my Teddy? 1
replied, You need not be anxious
about him. He will surely be one day
a great professor, or, who knows, he
may become even President Of the
United States Mrs. Roosevelt re-
buked me. She said such thing was
impossible, and asked how l could
have struck upon such an absurdity.
But, perhaps on account of my impul-
sive remark, 1 have since continually
watched Theodore Roosevelt's career,
and have always been glad when he
has made a step forward in the
world. "-From "Roosevelt's German
Days." in Success Magazine.

Worthless Tonic Feeds.

Chemical and microscopical analyses
of a number of continental and tonic
stock foods and proprietary feeds are
reported from the Pennsylvania sta
ton. According to the author, what
ever claims may be advanced for the

quantities of tonic substances in the
continental foods, or for the she'll

pounding these proprietary articles,
that the farmer can easily make for
himself simple tonic mixtures, and
that the prices asked for these pro-
prietary preparations are enormously
beyond their commercial worth" A

claimed by the makers would remove

found to contain saltpeter as the active
agent, with some charcoal and COM

Inbreeding Fowls.

It Is only among mongrels that you
need to greatly fear inbreeding. For
at least three years, with pure breed
and by judicious selection of the best
fowls on each side, we can breed our
own fowls among ourselves. The rea-
son so many fear the effects of in
breeding is from their experience rum
ming along the lines of culls. They
kill and sell the best always, leaving
anything for breeding purposes. No
wonder the fowls get smaller and
scrubbier each year. When you build
up a good strain you must always
make choice of your best among your
own, irrespective of relationship, and
one can to some extent follow this out
among our general utility focks. 1
do not approve of it too far, but for,
say, three years, it is all right if you
select your most perfect males and
females for breeding purposes.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Loss of Three Wives as Told by In
scriptions on GraYestones.

6Cr1pt1OuS on OraVeStOneSs
While on recent trip to the historic
old town of Dover, in Delaware, an
observant Philadelphia visited the
quaint graveyard wherein lie the nom
ored remains of the famous John NJ.
Clayton, who was the author of the ia
nous Bulwer-Clayton treaty. and
whose memory is much revered in
Dover. While the local historians are
proud to point out the magnificent
tomb of the great Clayton, they also
show with a great deal of satisfaction
what they facetiously define as "a
kind of hard luck story" Included
in this strange narrative are four
graves. They are not close together,
but are far apart and with no ap-
parent idea of continuity. Three of the
graves are similar and signify that be-
meath each of the big recumbent mar
Bile slabs repose the remains of a
wife of Alexander McClyment. On the
first stone is inscribed:
SACRED to the conjugal affection and
to the memory of Mrs. Sarah Nicely
ment, wife of Alexander McClyment,
who departed this life April 4, A. D.
1911, in the twenty second year Of her
age. This stone is inscribed as a small
tribute of respect to the memory Of an
affectionate wife"
To the north of the second from it
is stone which indicates that Mr.. Nc
Clyment had met with another Attic
ton and that he was not quite inclined
to take it gracefully. Upon this sec
ond stone is the following inscription:
"Tnsatate archer, would not one
suffice?
Beneath this stone is deposited the
remains of Mrs. Eliza McClyment, the
much-regretted wife of Alexander Nc
Clyment, who departed this life Feb.
2, 1916, in the twenty-second year Of
her age"
To the north of the second grave,
and about fifty feet away, is the third
tomb, upon which is inscribed the fol-
lowing:
"'Thy shaft flew thrice, and thrice
my peace was slain.'
SACRED to the memory of Elizabeth
McClyment, wife of Alexander Nicely
ment and daughter of John Marin,
Esq, and Hannah, his wife, who de-
parted this life Feb. 10, 1923, in the
twenty-second year of her age, after a
very painful illness, which she sus-
tanned with Christian fOrtitude. In
early youth she took her fight TO
heaven, calmly relinquishing to God
| tho off Hold piVQno
Just a few feet from the last grave
is a small headstone, standing upright,
on which is the simple inscriptions:
Alexander McClyment, Esq, de-
parted this life June %, 1851, in the
sixty-seventh year of his age"
The queer fact about the story of
poor McClyment's domestic affiiction
is that each one of his worthy wives
died at the age of % years. The local
historians can give no idea of the late
/ Mr.. McClyment's reason for not bury
ing his consorts close together in one
family lot but they sage'y allow, when
questioned, that McClyment probably
knew what he was about.-Philedal
