AN UNSATISFACTORY OUTCOME.

The disagreement of the Thaw jury
/ is a most unsatisfactory termination of
/ that celebrated case. 1t has been a
great many years since a trial of as
much interest to the general public was
conducted in a court of justice. The
case has been discussed from one end of
the country to the other. Nor has the
interest been confined to the United
States alone. Thaw and White were
both well known abroad, and so. in less
degree, was Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.
The mistrial must be regarded as a
victory for District Attorney Jerome.
Probably eight observers out of ten
thought that Thaw would surely be ac-
quilted. Yet a dispatch says that seven
of the jurors stood out for murder in
the first degree. The others were in
favor of acquittal. There will not be so
much surprise over the disagreement
as over the way the jury stood for all
the prophets predicted either a dis
agreement or an acquittal, with the
chances in favor of the latter.
The trial of the case began on Jan.
| %. 1t lasted therefore. nearly three
months. And it was probably the most
expensive criminal proceeding ever con-
Quoted in this country. The taxpayers
of New York will be called upon to pay
many thousands of dollars for expert
testimony and for other witnesses, sal
aries of court attaches and jury fees
How much the bill of the defense will
be the public will probably never know,
but its payment will take slice of
tune. perhaps $25o0 And all of this
outlay results in absolutely nothing.
Announcement is made that the case
will probably be set for hearing about
next October. The second trial will
| cost both sides as much. certainly, and
perhaps more than the first trial And
the second trial may likewise result in
a disagreement by the jury. If Mr.. Je-
rome has his way Thaw will spend an
other summer in the Tombs prison, an
other summer he will face the electric
chair. And for approximately another
year his family will continue to under
60 the terrific strain under which it has
been laboring for nearly a year.
And, in way. the result will cause
some comfort to people who imagine
that the weight of money influences
American courts. Thaw had every ad-
vantage that money could give him, but
1t did not avail to free him.

FAMINE In RUSSIA.

Twenty millions of people will starve
to death I'm Russia before the next har-
vest. This is the statement made by
DIT. Kennard. commissioner of the So
ciety of Friends, who was sent to the
Russian famine district some weeks
| ago to investigate conditions. Twenty
million human beings will starve I'M
less they receive aid promptly Il is
hard for Americans to appreciate the
magnitude of this impending disaster
All the standing armies of the world
do not contain 20. 900 soldiers. If
20, 100000 people should perish in the
United States within a few months
practically one-fourth of the population
would be wiped out.
The country shudders when it hears
of a railroad wreck involving the loss
Of a score of lives; we grow terrified
when we hear of epidemics that carry
off a hundred people. And if the cpl
demic is in our immediate vicinity we
make plans for moving away. Yet we
can view with calmness the prospect
Of a famine slaughter that has no par
aIlel i'm all the history of the world.
And the bitterest note in. the impend-
ing tragedy is the fact that Russia her
self views it with calmness.
a nation that can spend millions upon
millions of dollars for war, a country
that loads its favOrites with wealth
which they cannot use, a country with
millions of acres of rich agricultural
land lying unused, with wealth unim-
aginable locked up in its mines, can do
nothing for it's starving millions. Will
the millions sit and watch indifferently
the approach of their awful death ?
VIII they wait until they are too weak
to strike a blow before they think of
saving themselves
DR.. kennard writes that in the prov
ince of Samara alone thousands are
dying. and 100000 are starving. OF the
80, 600 less than half are being assisted
i'm any way. This minority is receiving
two pounds of bread and a bowl Of soup
every twenty-four hours barely enough
the poor meal is divided among many
mouths. Babies are being fed on
crushed acorns and cucumbers and
powdered wood. Anglo-Saxons are
asked to. contribute s2,5OO.OOO toward a
salvation fund.
But the Russian millions have their
own remedy at hand, A famine to
which the ruling powers paid no whit
of attention preceded the French revo-
luton. VIII not the Russians follow
the example of the French? The world
would applaud, rather than condemn a
revolution in Russia. Not only sympa-
thy but substantial help would be as
suTed from most of the civilized coun-
tries of the globe. And the time to
strike the blow is while there is still
strength in the arms of the people.

ton. Tricks In all trades. The oil bar
rels, as every well Informed man
should know STANDARD Oil being the
biggest thump in the WORLD, are blue
as to bilge and bulge and white as to
heads. The completed barrel Is rolled
into the shop by thousands. A man
steps up with a brush OF white paint
and with three swipes executes a de-
sign upon the head, then spins the bar
rel along. 1t is caught by another man
with a brush deeply dipped in blue
paint. He takes the rim between his
thumb and fingers, gives 1t whirl and
while that barrel Is spinning runs his
brush up and down. In less than three
seconds that barrel is all blue. Then
as it spins along the man with the
white paints keels 1t over and with
three more swipes makes the other
head white. Talk about your bowling
