THAw's MOTHER WON'T PUT UP
It is Reported She Could Not Muster
Huge Bail Fund.

Pittsburg, April 16.-"It Is exceed
ingly doubtful If Mrs. William Thaw
could furnish the bail which would be
that the rest of the family don't care
to take chances in the event that the
could would admit Harry Thaw to
bail"
This remark made by one close to
the Thaw family, voices the opinion of
many Pittsburg residents.
Although Harry Kendall Thaw, by
his escapades of the last fifteen years,
has not really broke" his mother, he
has made big inroads on her fortune,
so that those who know believe she
could not stand more than another
trial like that just ended for Harry.
Mrs. Thaw has for some time been
trying to sell "Lyndhurst," the IA
nous Thaw residence here, and is Of
fering it at sacrifice-$400 000-in
order to get cash.
When Harry X. Thaw killed Stan
ford White, Mrs. William Thaw's
wealth amounted to about 81 500 900.
IhlS comes from one very Close TO the
Thaw family and who is in position to
say that reports of the Thaw fortune,
So far as Mrs William and Harry X.
Fhaw are concerned, have been exag-
gerated
Friends of Mrs. Thaw here declare
that she was held up" at fearful
rate by all who came in contact with
her. Aside from the huge cost of the
recent trial, 1t is estimated that Harry
X. Thaw cost his mother $1,000, 1000 of
her own private fortune previous to
the killing o. Stanford White. Since
Harry Thaw was 20 years old he has
spent no less than $125,0O0 per year
and in the fifteen years almost half
Of it has come from his mother.

Appears Before the Footiishts, Mr.
Drew Rushed Into Eating House
Carries Three Cara.
[From Tuesdays Daily.l
John Drew spent twenty minutes In
Norfolk at noon. Mr.. Drew, playing
this season in His House In Order

lincoln to Sioux City. The company
travels in a special car, while two
coaches are required to carry the spe.
eial scenery used In staging "His
House in Order"
Mr.. Drew, whose face is familiar In
saricature the country over, rushed
from his private car to lunch at the
depot eating house in common with
Dinety-one other transient passengers
who stopped at the Junction Tuesday
noon. Lunch over, Mr.. Drew hurried
hack to his car which left Norfolk at
noon with the M. & o. passenger for
Sioux City.
The arrival and departure of Mr..
Drew at noon, with his brief stay of
twenty minutes during which he hur-
riedly consumed soup and coffee and
pie, marked the visit in Norfolk Of the
most famous actor that has ever come
to town and withal the most popular
player John Drew not only stands as
one of the very foremost actors on the
stage today, but he is as well one of
the most popular society men, person
ally, known to New York City. 1t will
be recalled that Miss Isabel Irving,
who recently appeared here, had for
three years played as leading lady to
Mr.. Drew.
Mr.. Drew, in street costume, looks
just the same as John Drew before
the footlights. His eyes, his nose and
moustache were readily recognized at
the station as the eminent player
rushed out of his car, by the many
who had enjoyed the treat of seeing
Kim on the stage.

MISS PAINE, PRINCIPAL
WAYNE TEACHER FOR HEAD OF
NORFOLK HIGH SCHOOL.
MISS Won eoETz NOT APPLICANT
The Board Of Education viii Receive
Bids For New High School Building
Next Mondsy-A. Morrison Reports
on Work Of Razine Walls.

Miss Amy l.. Paine, at present in
structor in science and mathematics at
the Wayne high school, was elected
principal of the Norfolk high school at
a special meeting Of the board Of edu
cation last evening Miss Paine sue
ceeds Miss Ida Won Goetz, who de-
clined to be an applicant this year for
reelection to the principalship. Miss
Paine was elected at a salary of $85
a month and will have charge of the
science work in the high school. Miss
Paine had been offered position this
year as instructor of mathematics in
the Hastings high school.
The only other business coming be-
fore the board last evening related to
the work now in progress of cleaning
up the bricks and rubbish about the
old high school building. The board
again last evening refused to definite
ly commit itself on the question of
discarding the old foundations in re.
building. In addition to the six regu-
lar members of the board Messrs. Deg
ner and Shively, members-elect, were
present at the meeting last evening.
Save 100000 Brick.
A. Morrison reported to the board
last night the total expense incurred
up to that time in the work about the
old high school building as follows:
George Stalcop, leveling walls and
tower, $50; A. Morrison, general SUI
pervision, 1872; pay roll, cleaning brick
$22S.10; pay roll, cleaning out base
ment, $45; total, $455.1O. Mr.. Morri-
son stated that the walls had been
leveled to the foundation, one of the
basement rooms cleaned out and 49,
247 brick cleaned for salvage He
thought that 100000 additional brick
were still to be secured. The total
cost of cleaning brick and removing
the debris would amount to about ST.
900.
Says Foundation is Unfit.
In reply to questions Mr.. Morrison
stated that in his opinion less than half
of the old foundation was in a condi-
ton to warrant it's use in rebuilding.
Mr.. Morrison was authorized to make
an opening in the foundation at one
of the entrances to permit workmen
to get at the rubbish inside the foun-
dation with wagons. BY using the
old entrance the foundation proper
will not be taken down in making the
opening for teams.
The board voted to accept a propo-
sition from A. ]. Durland that he be
given the broken brick-bats from the
high school building providing that he
remove all debris not needed by the
board from the premises not later than
June 1.
New Plans Next Monday.
The board adjourned to next Mon
day when they will meet to receive
plans for a new high school structure
to be presented to the board on that
evening.
