New York, March 21.--That Justice
Fitzgerald will appoint commission
in 1unacy to inquire into the present
mental condition of Harry Thaw seems
to be a foregone conclusion. That this
commission will find that Thaw is now
insane is the opinion of most of those
who have closely followed the trial.
DIR. Allan McLane Hamilton, one of the
country's most famous alienists, has
openly expressed the opinion that
Thaw is now insane, and that he is
incapable of conducting his own de-
Tense. DIR. Carlos Macdonald and DIR.
Austin Flint, also noted alienists, have
expressed the same opinion, and affi-
davits are expected from all three as
we'll as from other doctors familiar
with the history of the Thaw case and
with insanity, which is said to have
been present in both sides of his an
cestry.

WEARS EMBLEM or ILLS.
orientaIist Says Jap curios Shouldn't
Adorn Owner.

Paris, March 21---If there is any
faith to be placed in the working Of
charms and the significance of talis-
mans Ii might be well worth while to
know and understand some of them.
Foreign curios, for example, are in
great demand, and many are bought
and worn without the slightest knowl-
edge of what they mean or were in
tended to be used for Not long ago
a well-known society woman Durchas-
ed an attractive Japanese charm which
bore an inscription In Japanese.
The fair purchaser liked Its style; IL
was quaint and odd looking, and ii was
just the thing to hang on the orien-
tai chain she possessed. But 1t so
happened that whenever she chanced
to wear this ornament some Ill luck
came to her or her friends usually
her This iii luck was so marked that
she finally laid 1t TO the charm. and
In order to find out whether there
could be any evil omen In the charm
she sent 1t TO an Orientalist and had
the design and Inscription read.
What was her surprise TO find that
the ornament was the Japanese em-
blem of sickness Needless to say, 1t
never again adorned the fair owner,
who has since made il d rule to know
something about the significance OF the
foreign curios she Is tempted to buy.
