THAW IN A MADHOUSE KING AND PRINCE KILLED
He Begins The Simple Life at
Matteawan.
EFFORT TO GET HIM OUT
His Nextdoor Neiehbor in the Dor
n1ftory Crazy Chinese
Murderer.

Mateawan, n. ", Feb. 2. Harry
Kendall Thaw spent his fret night III
the Matteawan State Hospital for the
Criminal Insane in Ward No. 1. His
companions. numbering about SO. paid
no more attention to him than ID ac-
corded to any other new arrival at
the institation. When he said Good
by to his counsel, Daniel OReilly
and A. Russell Peabody, on satur-
day evening he stepped down from
his high pedestal as the spoiled darl-
ing Of wealthy house, and for the
first time In his life became one Of
the common herd. He was assigned
to cot beside Quimbo tppo, the
Chinese murderer, who slew Paul
Kelly, he prize-fghter SO years ago.
and for an hour or two was compelled
to listen to the maudlin rawlings Of
the old celestial who imagines that
he Is the owner of hundred or
two s10.000.00O hotels and all that
goes with them.
Thaw passed a very restless night
and had juat slipped the leashes from
his feyered brain for few moments
when he was awakened by an atten-
dant in company with other inmates
of the ward. He went TO the shower
Hair n
toilet in time to march to the mems
dining hall, where 900 inmates are
served by the more rational inhabi-
tants. He ate sparinglv of the food
which is wholesome and well cooked.
Breakfast over, he was taken to
the day room of Ward ! North and
assigned to chair. Newspapers and
magazines were placed at his disposal
and when not trying to avoid CONVEX
sation he attempted to read. He could
not keep his mind on the books and
papers, however, and his glance wan
dered furatively about the room and
a hunted look came into his eyes as
he for the first time began to realize
the grim tragedy of his situation.
The worst hardship he has had to
undergo as yet is being deprived of
his cigarettes. He is an inveterate
smoker. and being compelled to break
off suddenly has resulted in q great
strain upon his nerves. He became
angry about it at first, but the doc
tors were inexorible, and as DR. Bak-
err. who is in charge of the ward,
said eff smoking We're permitted in
the building, it would probably be
burned down in time"
The patient may be allowed to
smoke out in the court when taking
his daily exercise, although this de-
ponds largely upon circumstances,
Thaw took a light exercise during
the morning, and had for dinner
roast pork, potatoes, sauerkraut and
coffee. He ate more hearty than at
the morning meal. His supper con-
sisted of preserves, cake and tea.
1t was one one of the visits of the
ward physician that Thaw's first taste
of discipline came. 1t is the GUS
tom, when one of the physicians en-
ters the room for an attendant to call
out Seats" The odd inmates know
what this command means and are
not slow in scurrying to their chairs.
Thaw hesitated moment, then am
bled over to his seat.

Th-iIIcd--city Band Played.

The second Of the series OF mems
.neetings under the auspices Of the

noon in the opera house. Notwith
standing the very cold weather the
main auditorium was well filled. Rev.
Or. Canter Of the NJ. Z. church.

Before he service began the City

sacred character.
The service commenced at forr o.

er BY Rev. W. D. Mccurdy. The au-

The Address.
The address OF Rev. Mr.. Prettyman
was mastery and scholarly effort.
In thought, imaginary, manner of
treatment and style Of delivery its
equal has rarely been heard in Mar
tinsburg. The speaker held the clos
est attention of the audience for
three-quarters OF an hour, evincing
the profound impression produced.
The speaker took John the Baptist
as the model man, and whom Christ
said was the greatest man born OF
woman In his life. said the speaker,
we have personality against institu-
tionalism, which is the distinguish
ing feature OF Christian civilization
Il believe" against Eve believe" The
speaker then took up the subject of
Man" and eloquently portrayed the
sort of high ideals with which he
should be imbued. He said men to-
day as never before are awakening
to their own powers; but they must
proclaim their ideals If imbuei with
Christ's 81 'rit. The need Of the age
then is a Yoiee-a human voice Gpir-
itnal vision, said the speaker, ia bet
ter than historic ideals. Human wis
dom alone is not sufficient for human
life. and without spiritual vision there
is no rrimacy of moral ideals or en-
thusiasm OF endeavor.
At the conclusion Of the eloquent
address Rev. Mr. Trump offered pray
er. The meeting closed with the sing
ing of the hymn My Faith Looks Up
TO Thee" and the benediction by
Rev Mr. McCurdy.
