New York, June 25.--Harry Ken
dali Thaw, millionaire mailman, will
today begin the third year of his con-
finement behind prison and asylum
bars. 1t was just two years ago to-
night that the Pittsburger fired the
shot which echoed round the world,
sent Stanford Whites soul into eter-
nifty and startled New York as it had
seldom been startled befoe From
that night, when Thaw was led from
scene of revelry, suddenly trans
formed into bloody tragedy, to the
West Thirtieth street police station,
and later to Tombs prison, he has not
known moment of liberty. The mill
lions of his family and friends poured
out like water in his behalf, have not
served to save him. Surrounded by
gibbering, muttering lunatics, by men
whose darkened minds are filled with
insane fancies, widest fears and men,
cries of bloody crimes, he is apparent
ly destined to live out his life.

his wife at one of the tables. They
had been dining at a restaurant and
later reports stated that Evelyn had
shown annoyance at seeing Stanford
White dining there also.
After a time Thaw left his wife and
began TO pace aimlessly about the
roof. He seemed to be looking fol

gray raincoat attracted attention, as
he passed the outer fringe of the au

behind bank of palms at the south
ern end of the auditorium.
The center of the roof was occupied
by rows of theater chairs facing tht
stage. On either side of this square
of seats were tables. At the south

Work is the true friend and con-

his weakness, purifies and ennobles
him, saves him from temptation and

Waste In LAUNDERING.

The forests of the Southern Appalach-
ian Mountains have been cut so eagerly
Tor the valuable hardwoods they contain
that very little virgin timber is left and
about IS per cent of the area is second
growth.
The drain on these forests by many
industries is immense. The lumber men
are going over the land for the third
time. First they took only the prime
oak and poplar timber Next they took
the oaks that were suited for barrel
slaves Now they are after whatever
merchantable trees are left, such as birch,
chestnut, and gum.
Moreover. these forests have been, and
still are, logged very wastefully. Nearly
three.quarters of the timber cut for ties
is wasted. Double or even treble the
number of ties now cut could readily be
secured from the same area without
injury to the forest. BY simply taking
all the suitable trees, IFS ties could be
cut from an acre which now yields only
60, and if all of the wood in the trees
we're fully utilized ITO additional ties per
acre could be secured.
With mine timber the story is the
same. Fully 40 per cent of the timber
handled in procuring them is entirely
wasted.
Finally, fires are injuring the pro-
ductiveness of the Appalachian forests by
running over the ground and killing
young growth.
Circular 1IS, just published by the
Forest Service. discusses the whole ques-
til of managing to better advantage the
secoud growth forests of the Appalachian
region. This publication can be obtained
of the Forester at Washington.

SAVIOR Of the situation and all that sort of
thing. Then when the panic passed there
was great deal Of criticism of him. 1t
was said that he had exceeded his powers,
that there was no need for the bond issue
anyhow, as indeed there was not after it
had been announced that the govern.
ment stood ready to make it. The mere
had checked the panic.
But it is said that the Secretary has in
his files large number of interesting
letters from Congressman of many grades
and degrees praying for the assignment
of bonds in quantities varying from
5000 to $1,000, 900 to their localities.
These letters would make interesting
reading in case of serious criticism of the
Treasury Department and it is said that
the Secretary intends to incorporate them
in his report. If this is the case, Con
gress is likely to get more information
than it thought it would when the reso-
luton asking for report was passed.

Bryan's Strength.

poudent of various republican party
papers and journalist of wide repute,
has different notion of the political
s'r myth of WilHam Jennings Bryan than
those so-called conservative democrats.
who are almost thrown in panic at the
very suggestion of his becoming third
time presidential nominee. Mr.. Well
man says:
"Disregard the professional. politician
aud get down among the people-'the
plain people. Mr. Bryan himself loves
to call them-and you will find that the
Nebraskan is stronger than ever before
As said some time ago. he has worn

people have full confidence. He is the
only democrat who stands in class with
President Roosevelt in the affections oil
the masses Roosevelt and Bryan are
re only universally popular public men
&c have today, and logically. from the
standpoint of the thought and hope Of

Commissioners to borrow two hundred
thousand dollars for permanent road i'm
provement, as WILDE. seen by reference
to the proceedings Of The club published
elsewhere in this issue of the MIDLAND
JOURNAL
II is the purpose of the Club to push
with vigor their plan for obtaining better
roads, as after the expenditure of thous-
ands Of dollars. year after year, on the
public highways, our county has little to
show for it, and should lend hearty sup
port to the efforts which hold out hope
Of progress and reform, and an additional
mileage Of permanent roadway with each
succeeding year.
Meanwhile, as it will require years to
complete any extensive system of durable
roads in the county, and the majority of
mileage in the various sections will be
but dirt roads, it would be saving grace
if our Commissioners would give more
attention to these 10 future than ever has
been the case in the past, and insist on
practical methods being followed in their
care, which would 60 along way towards
giving US reasonably good roads for the
greater part of the year. whereas the

has proven of no lasting benefit what

Farmers League OF Maryland.

A number of years ago, the different
Agricultural Bodies Of the State, realized
among themselves, about the same time,
that many things could be accomplished
for Agriculturalists, ifthese different units
could work through a central organi-
cation.
AS result Of this, representatives from
a large number of the Farmers Cubs.
Oranges, and other similar bodies, met
and formed the Farmers League, an abso-
lutte non-political body. Its constitution
and bylaws are free and liberal.
1t is rather a plan, than an existing
body, but where work is to be accom-.
plished, the officers of the League get
together in close touch with each unit of
the League. and working as body, have
accomplished a great amount OF good in
forming opinions, and directing Legis-
latiou, for the benefit of the farming
community.
Each year, delegates from the bodies
thatcom pose the League, meet in Balti-
more, and this year the meeting will be
held at Mccoy Hall, John Hopkins Uni
versity, Wednesday, Feb. 5th, at IL so
where matters relating TO the good of the
farming community will be talked over
and developed.
Notices of this meeting are now being
sent out, calling on different Oranges,
Farmers Clubs, Horticultural aud Agri
cultural Societies, Seed Corn Breeders,
Tobacco Growers Association, &C., to ap-
point delegates for the meeting. and in.
struct these delegates to state, what mat
tiers of interest, and benefit to the farming
community, should be brought before the
Legislature or Governor, and pushed to
rightful conclusion.

The railroads by their actions are
fastening the day when the government
will take them in charge and operate
them for the benefit of the people, as al
most every law enacted by our Legis.
latures tending to restrain these com mon
carriers in their extortion is promptly de-
clared unconstitutional, on one pretext or
another, by our Judiciary, whose opinions
are Invariably in favor of the corporations.
and against the people A case in point
is that of the two. cent railroad rate law
passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature,
which has been declared unconstitutional
By the Supreme Court Of that State. The
vote of the Court was four to three,
against the law, four men thereby setting
themselves up as higher in authority than
the entire body of the peoples repre-
sentatives and over riding completely the
demands Of the people. 1t would seem
in order for the people, through their
representatives. to shear the judiciary OF
some of its power when it hurls such de-
fance in their faces by setting aside their
demands.

A republican party paper has at last
located the responsibility for the recent
panic. and republicans will not have to
shoulder any further blame for the finan,
cial stringency. Here is where this
modern Sherlock Holmes, who occupies
the editorial chair of the Milwaukee e
News, which is the paper in question,
places the responsibility. "If it hadn't
been for Bryan. Roosevelt might have
stuck to republican policies" and the
panic been avoided. This is remarkable
discovery and will be greatly appreciated
BY Wall Street, at least,
