some pretty plain truth by this irri

the order of Justice Bowling changed
Mr.. Jerome saws he does not care
where Harry Thaw is confined so long
as he is kept safe and not allowed tC
escape, and Justice MorSchauSer is in
clined to favor him in this respect
holding off the execution of the order
until Thaw's counsel shall have made
their attempt. In the event of being
set at liberty. on which he had count
ed, Harry Thaw had planned to take 9
trip thru Switzerland with his mother
and after years rest spent largely in
making automobile trips over Europe
to settle down in earnest to business
following in the footsteps of his family
who made their money in coal. He
firmly believes that the sympathy OF
the world is with him in the killing
of Stanford White, who richly deserved
his fate. He thinks that the publicity
given the matter will act as warn
ing to other wicked men, and will
open the eyes of unsuspicious girls
placed in the way of temptation; that
his act will protect, in the future, all
attractive young girls living in that
dangerous atmosphere which surrounds
the stage, who wish to remain pure,
from the advances of such men. In a
recent interview he spoke of his wife
simply, but with deep feeling. saying
she had never deserted him and that
he had the keenest appreciation of
her worth. Nothing was said about
her recent attempts to obtain a divorce,
his property. In all this miserable
affair. Harry Thaw has said or done
nothing which would show that he
had changed any in his feeling for the
unworthy girl who bears his name. Call
it love or what you will, it seems to
be a genuinely deep feeling which led
him to a defiance of all the conven-
tionalities, to the committing of the
crime, to the wrecking of the happi-
ness of his family and his own life.
And even now he apparently clings to
her and believes in her. 1t is a strange
and, fortunately, an unusual case.
Anna Gould, or more properly
Madam Gould, as she has been called
since her divorce from little Count
Boni, has emerged with bands play
ing and coiors flying, so to speak, from
the recent family controversy anent her
proposed marriage to the Prince de
Sagan. The head of the family,
brother George, says she has not only
his consent but blessing, and that every
member of the family approves of the
alliance Madam Anna and Prince
Helie have decided not to be married
in France, since they fear that little
left-out- ir-the-cold Boni would do all
in his power to make things unpleasant
for them in the case of that event.
They will probably betake themselves
to merry England for that felicitious
affair, and if brother George is abroad
at the time. he having sailed for Eu-
rope few weeks ago, he will play the
part of the good big brother and lend
dignity and propriety to the occasion.
The philanthropical duties of Miss
Helen Gould will prevent her from at
tending the wedding, which looks
little suspicious. Anna Gould has evil
IDENTIFY won OUT in this matter. but
altho her family have probably thought
it best to give in 10 their headStrong
sister, and make the hest of things. yet
they have not changed their opinion of
her. and especially is this SO of sister
Helen.
The suffragettes of England have
achieved decided triumph. They have
forced Prime Minister Asquith. who
has been bitterly. Opposed to them from
the first to definite deal whereby the
votes for women the principal issue
in the next general election. This AS
quith would never have done had he
not felt that the political situation COM
PEELED il. Altho the women of Eng
land have had no vote, they are a great
political force, and the suffragist move
ment, carried on with such determine
ton and spirit, has gained great
strength among the liberals, so much
so that the radicals realize that they
are doomed to defeat unless they get
on the good side of these women. til
certainly looks now as if this question
will be brought to a direct issue in
soon. Apropos of Mr.. As
quith his recent refusal to allow Eng
lands flag, the Union Jack, to float
from the Government buildings on EN-
pire Day will not win the admiration
Of Americans, at least. Mr. Asquith
said he saw no reason for starting
this custom. which would be a de-
partUre from the practices of his pre-
decessors, and went on to ironically
