that he had been with the woman, put

The Thaws.

The real reason for Harry X. Thaw's
desire TO be admitted to bail immeoi-
ately pending his retrial aside from
his natural craving for freedom, Is
that he fears his wife may utterly
collapse unless he can get her away
from New York at once.
Evelyn looks a wreck. The greatest
worry of the whole Thaw family is for
Evelyn's health
Since last July" said a friend,
Mrs EVELYN Thaw has wasted away
so per cent She is only shadow OF
herself. II she should catch cold and
it settled on her lungs, in her present
condition, IL would mean almost GER
tain DEATH"
His wifes condition furnishes the
real motive for the demand Thaw Will
make for his release under $25O,0OO
bail. Evelyn refuses to leave New
York without her husband
Persons who do not look kindly on
Thaw's defense are inclined to find
in his anxiety regarding his wife, and
especially interest suddenly being
shown in her by his relatives, selfish
motive. They point out that the only
thing which gave Thaw the ghost oil
a. chance in his recent trial was
Evelyn's appearance on the stand. II
she should die or should fail so that
she would be unable to go on the
stand and repeat her story opinions
generally agree that it would take fal
less than AZ hours for a jury to agree
and that it would probably be the
| death chair for Harry.
Although Evelyn Thaw Will no
leave New York without her husband
his other relatives are not so devoted
Already they are planning trips TO
themselves to various resorts. All o
them feel the need of rest, and viii
recuperate in some quiet place.

Tried to Kin Carnegie.

An armed anarchist was arrested
while trying to force his way into the
apartments OF Andrew Carnegie in
Pittsburg.
He was carrying an open penlnife.
partly concealed under his cuff, and
vas trying to gain access TO the main
lobby of the Schenley, where Carnegie
was, when Policeman John Kennedy
seized him.
He told Kennedy he was Frederick
Slagel, 33, of Los Angeles,'and begged
20 be allowed TO enter the hotel, as
le wished to speak with Andrew Car
negie in regard to the sale of a pateDs
for milking COWS Kennedy hurried hi
prisoner to the station. Whes
searched Slagel was found to have
1851 on his person.
Slagel was locked up charged with
being a suspicious person. The arrest
caused a very close watch to be kept
on every person to guard against pos
sible assassination or injury TO any OF
the notables.

makinn Binder Irvine.

That the governors proposed bind.
er Irvine plant would be a paying
proposition to the state is the opinion
of Warden A. n. Armstrong. of Jack
son prison. who adds that the legisla-
ture SHOULD make provision to pay
prisoners making the twine for over
time, as do private contractors in the
case of prison labor.
There are a thousand ways in
which the prisoners could slight their
work" says Warden Armstrong, and
II a prisoners heart is not in his work
the result is the same as man on the
outside. The contractors pay by the
piece on overtime. Many workers earn
as high as $15 a, month, and 1t makes
them feel as though they were of
some account A great deal of this
money goes TO help support wives,
children and parents outside. The eff
feet is good. The success of the bind,
err Irvine plant depends on running il
on business principles"

stop improvements.

An official OF the Detroit a Mac
kfnac railway SAYS that because OF
the passage OF the two-cent fare bill
they will not expend any money for
improvements for some time, and says
that the Michigan Central and other
roads will also adopt the same policy.
The ID. & Nj. is not affected directly
by the two-cent fare bill but. this Of

as it has longer mileage between the

sengers for 1A cents per mile.

$365,O00 elevator property. AS mat

SOME FLOWER LORE

How to Get Rid Of the Pests That
Attack Plants-Easy 70 Make
Liquid Manure Fertilizer
The Geraniums.

For worms on petunias apply weak
solution of hellebore.
The easiest way to make kerosene
emulsion is to dissolve good tobacco
soap, a bar To two quarts of boiliag
water, then stir In one teaspoonfui OF
kerosene. Use this occasionally to
sprinkle the flowers with.
Throw away bulbs which have been
forced. They are lacking in vitality
and seldom give good crop of flowers
the second season.
Here is very good method OF MAX
ing liquid manure fertilizer: Take
small sack like the one salt comes ia,
put the manure in dry, tie it up aad
put it in a can or bucket and pour
boiling water over IL. Let it set until
Ii looks as strong as tea, and then wa
ter the flowers with it. One should re-
member, however. not to apply a fer
tilizer to any kind until the plants
show signs of growth.
Begonias are we'll worth cuitivatiag.
They are in some respects among our
most beautiful ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
free-blooming and not difficult to raise
IL only care is bestowed.
1t seems to be a general opinion that
young geranium plants will bloom best
and give the greatest satisfaction. The
fact is that old plants in healthy con
dition, are far preferable to young
plants for winter blooming. 1t takes
at least year to make a geranium into
a fine plant, and on this account it will
be readily understood that it is impos-
sible to get much returns fiorally while
it is under training

Business Injured.

The Sault Ste. Marie Commercial
club has begun battle for lower
railroad fares and express rates. Mem
bers of the legislature will be Dom
barded with kilograms and letters
from their constituents demanding
that northern Michigan roads be
placed on the same basis as the ROADS
below the straits.
During the past few days an in
yestigation of the existing conditions
has been going on. Figures obtained
from Railroad Commissioner Glasgow
show that, although some OF the up
per peninsula roads have been crying
poverty, they are making enormous
profits.
A campaign is also to be inaugural
ed against express companies when
charge extortionate rates north oil

taken up with the interstate com
merce commission. 1t is charged that
business is being materially injured
thereby and the development OF north

Don't Oil New Furniture.

New furniture should be kept as long
as possible without the application of

Furniture finished with shellac or
varnish should never be washed with

First of all take some soap and rub
it we'll into the linen, then scrape some
chalk very finely and rub that in also.
lay the linen on the grass, and as it
dries wet it again. This done twice or
thrice should remove the mildew
stains. Another way is 10 mix soft
soap and powdered starch with half
the quantity of salt and juice of a
lemon. Lay this mixture on with a
brush, and let the linen lie out on the
grass for few nights and the stains
will disappear.

Mint with Peas.

The Virginia housewife seldom di-

OF her green peas. which is obtained
by cooking with them a few sprigs of

may be renewed when stale. An apple

same purposes as the bread, and
