talesmen for the jury which will her for the
murder of Stanford White is completed She Is

able to attend court for another ten days more.
Her testimony will be necessary for the insanity de-
fence which will be feature of the second trial,
and she will her strength for that ordeal.
Josiah and Edward Thaw and Thaws sister, Mrs.
George Lauder Carnegie, will reach this city to-
night and be in the courtroom when the first tales
man is called.
The trial, unless halted by the appointment of a
commission to pass on Thaws sanity, will probably
be one of the longest the criminal annals of the
state. In view of the District sAttorney eancelling
all social engagements for January and February
it is thought that intention of asking for
the appointment of such commission.
The trial will be held in the same branch of the
Supreme Court as previously but before Justice
Victor j. Dowling instead of Justice FitzGerald.

Mrs. Thaw, it is said, will undoubtedly repeat her
story of her relations with Stanford White. The
announcement that Anthony Comstock would
testify had been accepted in quarters as

stand the second time.

at that time pleased the Commissioner much
that he determined to place him in the position
again.

WHAT SCIATICA IS
a FORM OF NEURALGIA AFFECT
ING THE SClATIC NERVE.
Why Il 10 Called Scistic rheumatism
and How Or. Williams Pink Pills,
the Great Nerve Ionic, Cure u.

sciatica is neuralgia Of the sciatic
nerve Its origin is generally rheumatic
and is the direct result OF taking colo.
For this reason the disease is commonly
known as ssciatic rheumatism"
Lack OF blood is almost always associ-
ated with neuralgia. One medical au-
thority has defined neuralgia a. "the cry
of the nerves for better blood This n
true because the nerves receive their nour-
ishment through the blood. Build up the
blood, the Impoverished nerves are fed
and the neuralgia pains disappear.
Absolute rest Is the best aid TO proper
medical treatment. Rest and Dr. WI
Iiams' Pink Pills will cure most cases.
This treatment cured Mr.. W. q Wh-
coxon. the well-known jeweler OF BIB
Main street, Coshocton, Ohio, who IL en-
thusiastic about the remedy. He says
81 suffered for nearly two years with
sciatica. The pain extended from my hip
to the heel of the left foot and was so ter
rible that could only bobble around
With the use OF a cane. ] could not sit
down without suffering intense pain and
even TO turn over in bed hurt me 80 that
could hardly endure il. The only rest
could get was by having my leg propped
no. / could not put on or take ofsiny
81 was under the care of four doctors
and took several medicines but not one
of them did me any good. Electricity
also failed to help me. One day j read OF
a cure OF sciatica by DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and wrote to the person who was
cured for information about his case
The reply praised the pills so highly that
/ began to take them at once The pills
Just hit my case and in two weeks time i
was a great deal better. | took them
while longer and was cured and have
never been troubled With sciatica since. B"
Pain that seems almost unbearsbie i
characteristic OF sciatic rheumatism. In
some cases the pain is knifelike. sharp or
shooting; in others Il is dull and aching.
In acute cases there is some fever but in
the more frequent chronic cases there Is
little or no heat in the affected part.
Sciatica Is stubborn in resisting treat
ment and the patient frequently suffers
for years. DIR. Williams Pink Pills do
not simply relieve pain but they cure dis
cases caused by depraved or yitiated
blood. They actually make new blood
and have therefore direct and powerful
curative effect on such diseases as rheu-
matism, anaemia, general debility and
after-efects OF the grip. As the nerves
depend upon the blood for nourishtbeDt
and medication, DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are uncqualed for the treatment of even
the most sssere nervous disorders. such
as neuralgia, partial paralysis, ST. Vitus'
dance and loeomotor staxia. As a tonic
for the blood and nerves they are used
everywhere with the greatest success,
building mp wasted bodies aud bringing
the glow OF health to pale and sailow
cheeks.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or sent by mail, postpaid, on
receipt Of price. so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams

Zed s. Stanton a Cancidate.

The Journal is authorized to announce
that the name of Hon. Zed ;. Stanton OF
Roxbury will be presented to the state
Republican convention as a candidate for
governor. This decision has been
reached at the earnest solicitation of his
friends and is announced at a time when
there can be no suspicion Of a deal with
any other candidate. In announcing his
candidacy, Mr.. Stanton says
81 shall enter this canvass free from all
alliances and owing no political debt. /
shall approach public questions with an
open mind and decide them solely upon
the ground of public policy. No prom
ises, expressed or implicit, viii call for
future fulfillment on my part, and my
course will be determined solely by the
public welfare.
~ believe in the enactment Of laws that
will render all taxation equal and just
without imposing a double burden upon
any, and expect that the commission
created by the last legislature, which is
now at work upon the problem, will col
lect such information and furnish such
suggestions as viii serve as the basis for
legislation needed TO equalize state and
local taxstion and prevent the evasion OF
the tax laws.
''The continued Improvement OF our
highways is Of such prime importance
that we should only be limited in this di-
rection by the necessity OF not imposing
too serious or untimely burdens on the
taxpayers.
sour recent progress in school legisla-
tion ought to be considered merely the
beginning OF a steady and progressive
movement toward the very best educa-
tional establishment which our condi-
tions will admit.
vermont has over thirty commissions
with a large membership. ! am in favor
of reducing the number and size OF these
various commissions SO that the business
of the state can be conducted with equal
efficiency and at less expense.
81 believe in legislation for the benefit
of people who make Vermont their home.

administration of public affairs and for
the betterment of the state with all the
zeal, fidelity and honesty OF purpose

Brattleboro and st. Johnsbury recently
tried to settle the s'state' basket ball
championship. The way they went
about it was that each town searched
high and low for the best professional
players to be had, regardless of price.
Most of them came from New York and
Massachusetts,. There wasn't a single To-
cal man on either team, we understand.
When the clash came, each side had put in
big money and was determined to win.
st. Johnsbury took the first game, % to
%, with some question raised by Brattle-
boro, and plenty of bad blood in evil
dence. At the next meeting, two players
engaged in scrap at the outset. The
referee ordered one of them off the floor
and another struck the referee, whereup-
on the game and series ended, which was
lucky for the peace and dignity of these
two highly cultured towns, the one 'slily
white,'' the other the mecca of greatness.
Now wouldn't it have been just as well
to have really found out, in pleasant
and friendly contest, which place had the
better set of basket ball players? It is
this desire to win, to win at any price,
for self-satisfaction and humiliation of
the rival, that is the bane of true sport.

THEATRICAL NEWS
How q Colorado Paper Reported
Shakespearian Visitation.


"Julius Caesar was murdered anew at
the opera house on Monday evening BY
Sanford Dodge and his co-conspirators
while the audience looked on in dumb
helplessness. Julius was not the worst
of the bunch, and many felt that it
would have been better had he turned
the tables on Brutus instead of allowing
the latter to stalk through six acts OF the
tragedy. As exemplars OF the legitimate
Mr.. Dodge and his assistants are not
bowling successes. They are entitled to
the belt awarded to the Francesca Lafay-
cite bunch, which was the last company
to assassinate Shakespeare in this city
prior to the offense of Monday night.
Mr.. Dodge, who is responsible for the
present recrudescence of the legitimate on
the alfalfa circuit, is said to be wealthy
man, but that does not palliate bis onense
lit only aggrsvates it and makes him IL
able 20 damage suits. His support was
fair in spots, but in the main it averaged
up with the star in mediocrity. The
Roman populace, consisting OF Joe Fow-
Ter and Tommy Hughes, made the best hit
of the evening because il kept still. The
curtain was unused 70 heavy tragedy,
having been raised on a diet Of minstrelsy
and farce comedy, and it baked at ire
quent intervals, spelling what were in
tended TO be impressive scenes. Owing
TO this innate depravity on the part OF the
drop, the audience was given an oppor-
tunity to see the remains of Julius Caes-
ar, which reposed impassiyely on bier
while Marc Antony was inhaming the
minds OF Fowler and Hughes against
Brstus and Cassius, jump from their rest
ing place and light cigarette. This adj
dition to the regular Dill was hilariously
received by the small boys in the audi
ence and partially compensated them for
the disappointment they felt when Bru-
tus failed TO introduce any local gags and
Calprrnia and Portia omitted the usual
skirt dances and high kicking specialties.
The western slope papers which COM
mended Mr.. Dodge's Shakespearian
efforts will have much TO answer for at
the final accounting. The cold fact is,
however, that Lamar is not educated up
to an appreciation of heavy tragedy.
What the theatregoers here want is pien-
ty of slapstick comedy, interpreted with
whirling lingerie and anatomical flashes.

A Curious Parallel.

Three is sometimes crowd but it has
never been regarded as an unlucky num-
Der. 1t is reasonably certain today that
one of three great men will be the next
president of the United States-Taft,
Hughes or Roosevelt. 1t is equally prob
able that one of three able citizens will
be the next governor of Vermont-Prou-
ty, Stanton or Proctor. 1t is no reflection
upon the other two to say that large ma
jority of the voters in both cases would
prefer the last named gentleman Of each
trio to continue in his respective office
for another term, simply because of his
exceptional success therein. 1t is an en-
couraging note in public life when emil
nent and unselfish devotion in the ad-
ministrative branch of the country and
state is thus recognized by the people.
