Notwithstanding Insanity.

That there is something insane in the
modern situation of business which en-
ables capitalists to work up hundreds of
millions in fortunes while they are spend
ing their tine, travelling or hunting, or
other leisure class sports, is the frank
statement made by DR.. Felix Adler before
the Ethical Culture Society of New York
City. He insists that there is no due pro-
portion between the wealth and the needs
nor between the wealth and the deserts.
The, men who, through the commercial
spirit of the day hire child labor or who
sit down and devise ways of cheating
their neighbors by adulterating food so
as to enrich themselves, he declared to
be virtually insane persons who should
be shut up in sanitarums until they can
be cured He admitted that the so-called
captains of industry had carried out great
works, such as railroad building, but that
they had rendered these services only for
their personal aggrandizement. DR.. Adler
does not think that philanthropy solves
the problem of wealth acquired through
foul means. but in spite of all this he
does not regard himself as a socialist

PROGRESS OF THAW TRIAL.
Taking of Evidence Begun in
Famous Murder Trial.

Taking of Evidence Begun in
Famous Murder Trial.
Fhe trial in New York of Harry K.
Thaw for the murder of Stanford White
at the Madison Square roof garden June
%, 1906, was opened Monday morning
by the State without asking for the dis
missal of any more jurors and the evil
dence was begun. Assistant District At
torney Garvan opened with an address to
the jury for the prosecution. Mr.. Car
van congratulated the jurors on their body
having been completed and then outlined
the purpose of the law, which was not
seeking for vengeance, but to uphold the
security of the State. He urged the i'm
portance of the case and a strict observ-
ance of the law in order that a verdict,
fair to all, might be reached.
1t was the claim of the people, he said.
that on the night of June %, 1906, the
defendant "shot and killed, with premed-
itation and intent to KILL" one Stanford
White. He then briefly outlined the move
ments of Mr.. White, beginning with the
Saturday preceding the tragedy and end
ing with the actual scene of the shooting
at the Madison Square roof garden.
Mr.. Garvan told how Stanford White
had on June % last taken his son Law
renee and a schoolmate of the latter to
dinner at the Cafe Martin. The boys
had bought tickets to the New York The
alter roof garden and declined an invita-
ton of Stanford White to accompany him
to the Madison Square roof garden

went to the Madison Square roof garden
and sat alone at one of the small tables
there, watching the production of a play.
The defendant was there with his wife
and two friends. The defendant walked
constantly about the place. In the mid
die of the second act the defendants par
ty started to leave the roof. The defend
ant let his party go ahead and he Jagged
behind. Passing the table where STAN
ford White was sitting, this defendant
wheeled suddenly, faced Mr.. White and
deliberately shot him through the brain,
the bullet entering the eye. Mr.. White
was dead. The defendant did not know
this He feared he had not completed
his work. and he fred~again, the bullet
penetrating Whites cheek. Still, to make
sure, he fired third time"
''The defendant turned and, facing the
audience, held his revolver aloft with the
barrel upside down, to indicate that he
had completed what he intended to do.
The big audience understood. There was
no panic"
Mr.. Garvan concluded by giving the
details of Thaw's arrest and indictment
by the prosecution. Mr.. Caravan Spoke

versational tone. Thaw sat with head

WORSE THAN WAR.
Appalling Fatalities Among Mem.
bers of Americans Industrial ARMY

Appalling Fatalities Among Mem
bers of Americas Industrial Army.
Important steps are soon to be taken
in New York City and elsewhere to es-
tablish system of compulsory and accu-
rate records of the enormous number of
persons who are annually killed and in
jured in Americas vast army of indus
trial workers. In New York City alone
the meager records obtanable are start
ling. In 1901 there were 4,162 persons
killed in New York City through acct
dent and negligence as shown by the re-
ports of the department of health, and
these reports are said to be incomplete.
DR.. Josiah Strong, president of the In
stitute of Social Service, in speaking of
the number of persons killed each year
in our industrial occupations, made some
astonishing comparisons. He said.
1--WE in the United States kill in four
years some $4,000 persons-more than
fell in battle and died of wounds during
the four years of the Civil War. We are
killing more than twice as many every
year as persisted by violence in both the
French and English armies during the
three years of the Crimean war.
There are more killed and wounded
on our railroads every year than the en-
tire losses of the Boer war on both sides
in three years. We have industrial cas-
ualties enough every year TO keep one
conflict like our war with Spain going
for 1000 years or twelve such wars GO
ing for 100 years. Our peaceful voca-
lions cost more lives every two days than
were lost in battle during the entire
Spanish war.
From the best statistics obtainable I
may say there are to-day $4,000 persons
in the United States under sentence of
death to be executed at an unknown mo-
next week and the same number every
week until the CHASTITY work is complete.
An intelligent and earnest effort would
procure the reprieve of a multitude of
these innocent Victims
An exposition will be held in the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History, in New
York City under the auspices of the
American Institute of Social Service for
the purpose of studying and exhibiting
safety devices for dangerous machinery,
methods of industrial hygiene and to set
in motion the movement to establish a
more accurate record of industrial fatali-
ties and accidents in all parts of the
country. At present Wisconsin is said
to be the only State in the Union where
any effort is made of official compilation
of these statistics.
In Europe there are several permanent
museums of this character where experts
are constantly studying how to safeguard
industrial employees and as a result the
percentage of death and injury from acct
dents has been greatly reduced. Ex-
President Cleveland and many other
prominent and influential citizens are in
terested in this new movement.

The Proper Veil tn Wear

Ladies will please take notice that in
Paris they do not wear black wells
of any sort, at least so the New York
papers say, and white and rose color
are on the way to certain doom. The
proper color for the veil is now light
blue and the material the finest tulle.
One veil described is OF pale blue. with
frill of the same shade outlining its
circular form, and over it traverses like
spider web a gold thread. Silver
threads are also in favor but the wom
an with much color in her cheeks
should beware of blue. unless it is lust
the right shade, or it will give her a
magenta complexion.

Work should BE systematized.


An inexperienced young housekeeper
who for the first time tries to manage
home. doing much, if not all, OF the
work herself. will find no end Of diff
culties cleared away if she Will syste-
Matte her daily tasks. The system is
only regularity. doing in order all of
the things that are necessary, so that
before she realizes it everything is
done. and there is leisure to read, sew
or visit. Much less time is consumed
i'm the work. far less nervous energy,
and ones temper is saved no end.
To begin with, if woman does not
keep a maid, she should so arrange her
work that by noon certainly, if not be-
fore. it is all done. and the rest of the
day she has to herself.
OF course, breakfast is the first
away. Many housekeepers bring the
dishes from the table into the kitchen
as soon as the meal is over, but I do
not believe in this, because there is al
ready confusion in the kitchen, and
more dishes simply add to it.
Leave the breakfast table as it is
and return to the kitchen. Begin there
by washing the pots and kettles that
have been used. and then wash what
ever cups, spoons and the like that has
been used in preparing the meal. They
are, of course kitchen utensils, and so
may be put away as soon as cleared.
Wipe uD around the sink, that there
may be a fresh place for the dining
room dishes, and then bring out those.

several at once, but have a tin tray

with a fresh towel, wipe them. Put
each on the tray as it is dry, so that it
may be returned to the dining-room in
one trip. After the glasses, wash the
tea or coffee cups, proceeding as with
the glasses. Then, there being no
grease yet in the water, put in all the
small silver. Let that stay in and over
it put the plates, few Mt time At
