nj EW YORK.-The ending OF the
~ Thaw trial will no doubt bring
relief to a large number of people.
AS TO the justice OF the verdict the
consensus OF opinion is that 1t was
practically the only one the jury
could return.
While the Matteawan Asylum for
the Criminal Insane is not the most
pleasant place In the world to live in.
there are also many less inviting
places. The distinguishing feature of
the asylum is the absence of anything
In the extensive buildings or the broad
grounds that surround them to sug-
gest that the patient is in a jail. Bar
ring few details rendered necessary
by consideration of the safety of the
inmates, the person who dwells there
might well think that he was In some
we'll ordered hotel, where he Is spared
the necessity OF work to meet the fire.

Moral Effects of Athletics.

Aside from it's physical effect, d
moral effect of athletics, in the cd
of the soldier at least, is of no sm5
value. My experience has been u
men are less likely to drink in I
football or baseball season, eES
though they may be addicted to 4
use of intoxicants. And thus no 81
cial effort may have been made alos
these lines by those in charge of d
sports. The class of men whe
in for athletics and excel in sud
contests are the most desirable Sd
diers and the best all around me
Still another advantage of athleti}
is that good athletic teams and II
reputation for post of having chad
pion teams draw good recruits al
soldiers to enlist there.--Army ID

FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY
NEW YORK ENTHUSED
OVER FIRST CABLE

New York, Aug. FIFTY years
ago today, cosmopolitan New York
presented a frenzy of enthusiasm.
Bells and whistles rent the air win
sounds, artillery iSare.., the fire de-
partment paraded the streets. citizens
marched in shouting columns, and
such great bonfires were built around
the city hall that .he cupola took fire
and burned. The occasion for SO
much hilarity was the receiving of the
first message over the Atlantic cable.
The cable was finished from Ireland
to New Foundland on August 10, 1858,
and on August 16 the first message
was sent over it. The success of the
undertaking did not reach the people
of New York until the afternoon Of
the 18th and then their enthusiasm
went beyond bounGs The gigantic
undertaking was fathe=ed by the late
Cyrus w Field. For thirteen years
preceding the successful laying of the
cable frnnght with hardship and fail
ure. he was the victim of criticism,
ridiclle and the loss OF millions. But
this did not deter Field and the few
resolute men who believed in him.
and they worked on and on until the
undertaking so deyoutlv 10 be wished
was accomplished. The first message
read: Europe and America are
united by telegraphy Glory to God
in the highest, on earth peace, good
viii toward men"
