pletely corroborated the claim that
the girl who was to become his VIE

with Stanford White much as she has
related it upon the stand at this and
the former trial.
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw told her
story for the second time. The repe'

recital, but the great crowd In the
courtroom, which Justice Downing
had refused to exclude, listened in
tently. District Attorney jerome then
subjected the witness to pltiless
crOss-examination.
Both Evelyn Thaw, the wife, and
Mrs. William Thaw, the mother OF
the defendant, were on the witness
stand, and just as the former was
about to relate anew the story OF her
life, as she told it to Thaw in Paris

arose and suggested that in the inter

Astoria is quiet just now, but 1t IS
a quietude with nothing dubious about
it; ii is an expression OF the annual
reaction that follows the holiday

gency that preceded the holidays but
there is nothing acute about 1t.
The talk about the city and county

her mills yesterday; the Simpson
plant is expected to reopen in a
week or two at the farthest; the
Tongue Point plant is again IN
operation, and there are rumors OF
resumption everywhere.
Astoria is alright; her people are
practically all busy, and while indus

there are general conditions that

draws on, the word of animation and

FLORIDA OPENS THE BALL.

The state convention OF Republi-
cans OF Florida has been held; the
first OF the year 1908, and, by and near,
it was not very creditable example.
There were knock-downs and drag
outs and a wholesale split; two sep
arate factions, and two organiza-
tions, on the same floor, with attend
ant uproar and discord Of all kinds.
But then that is a hot latitude and
much may be excused On the score
of surplus heat and the peculiar ap-
titude of the gentlemen OF the South
for a scrimmage when ample cause
is presented and there are enough
men in the opposition to make it real
interesting.
However, both factions endorsed
Roosevelt and Taft, showing that
they reverted, for passing moment
to the realities of the occasion anc
what was expected of them by thu
country The national political bal
has thus been started rolling, anc
will continue its movement until tn
hours of elimination at Chicago ant

off. The thief escaped, but that was
not her fault.

THE NoN-FILLABLE BOTTLE

A young man Of this city claims to
have invented a non-hllable bottle
(or. rather non-rehllable bottle),
that can be marketed at a cost OF
from 4 to A cents, within fraction
OF the limit set by the great users OK
such glass commodities. We hope he
has. Such inventions are epoch
making in their application TO the IN
dustries and commerce OF the day;
and if this young glass-worker has
achieved all he claims he is IN line
for the $4,000, which has stood tor
years as the reward OF such genus
It takes very practical knowledge to
work out problems like this and the
reward will not fall amiss wherso-
ever it shall lodge. 1t is fine incen-
tive and should be duplicated IN
every instance OF intense utility OF
this sort.
