PITTSBURG. ian. II. - Pitssburgers
have talked Of nothing else ali day but
'stuporous melancholia."
Harry Thaw's boyzood friends have
stopped each other on the streets and
talked it over. 1t was believed that
Attorney LittietoR was going to strike
a new road over which he was going to
fight for the freedom of his client, and
the plan of the defense was eagerly
awaited, but nothing % startling as
''stuporous melancnolia' was ever
dreamed Of
One prominent physicieI Hcrs, WREN
asked what it all meant. sid: Pitts

for strange naladies seem to spring m
here like Mushrooms"
Another learned physician SAID that
the phrase really meant case Of plain
bugs"
DR.. John x. Storett. nervous disease
specialist, said he had never heard OF
such a term.
Attorney John Marion, with an extern
sive criminal practice, said:

tense than the 'dementia Americana
Neither do I think that chasing a man
into a public garden, drawing pistol
and shooting him down with such sure
aim gives much OF a stupor TO Thaw's
action. On the contrary, ! should judge
him 10 be very lively"
Attorney William Blakely said:
Il am not prepared to say just how
much weight 1 think stuporous melan-
cholia would carry. However. any i'm

il be from melancholia. or stupidity, or
anything else, Is "A good defense: but IL
must be shown that the reasoning DOW

Thaw was needed at her sons trial she
would be there.

Evelyn's Burden Lightened.

during the nrSt trial IL was EVELYN
Thaw who went through the most
nerve-wrecking ordeal. In the present
instance she will not bear the brunt of
the fight alone. Though Thaw will not
be put on the stand, a hard ordeal is
IN store for the prisoner.
One Of the vainest Of men, Thaw will
be forced to sit in silence. while his
acts are recited and hear himself pic
tured, not as a chivalrous knight err
rant as Delmas sought 10 draw him.
not as a Justice-backed avenger of a
wtfe's wrong, but as a mental Weakling
sprung from tainted stock.
If Harry ThaW stands the test IN
finchingly he viii surprise those who
have watched him day after day in The
court. Nervous, twitchipg. -mpulsive. he
appears constantly on the point of an
outbreak, even during the ordinary mo
ments of the trial And If, during the
most trying part Of his arraignment,
the prisoner should suddenly rise and
seek TO thwart his counsel. or create a
scene, his action would occasion no sur
prise to those who are acquainted with
his temperament.
Late this afternoon IL was announced
at Attorney LittletOn's office that the
term ''stUpOrOus melancholia' would be
the designation Of Thaw's mental weak
ness The announce meut is unimpor-
tant, save that It shows the determine
ton OF the new counsel TO get away
from ''dementia Americana" and all the
other phrases and markings Of the Del
mas defense.

There Will be no escape.

niekels they'll be looking for.
The Woman's League sof the National
Junior Republic has hit on the most
novel, the most ingenious and, it mighs
truly be said, the most productive
scheme for raising money. and the
''raisees" will be on hand TO see that
the money Is Forthcoming. They nave
organized themselves into a Band Of
Beggars, and hard viii the heart be
that can refuse these fascinating sup
plcants for aid for the National Junior
Republic.
Date Of Campaign.
Thursday and Friday, January % and
"a, have been selected as the days on
which a generous public is expected to
turn its nickels into the cutest little re-
ceiving baskets ever designed These
baskets Will be set OF beautifully deco
rated tables in every department store,
bank building, and hotel in the city,
and back of each will be two members
OF the Woman's League, OF which Mrs.
Charles Warren Fairbanks. wife of the
Vice President, is the head.
Some months ago It was decided that
a new plan must be adopted 10 collect
money for the Junior Republic. Enter
tainments Of every description had been
tried and it was found that the pablo
was tired OF them. All sorts Of schCmes
were considered and finally IL was decid-
ed 20 turn beggaTs. The idea proved so
novel 10 the women, many Of whom are
the most prominent in the social set IN
Washington, that everybody grew en-
thusiastic over Il and the whole mem
bership scrambled for assignments to
the various places decided upon.
Stands at Every Turn.
Not only will the stands be in the
places mentioned heretofore. bus certain
members OF the league Will be stationed
and at their own request-on the most
prominent thoroughfares OF the city to
catch the nlckels OF those who lave
no business in hotels. shops or banks
All the members viii ask viii be

person dropping in dollar OF two. It

are charitably inclined 10 help along and

pockets for a nickel.

Scher-o Never Tried.

It is hardly necessary to say that the

just dying for the days to come when
she can 90 out and plead for the Junior

a reminder that these days are coming,
for when they dawn there Will be no
