THE THAW DIVORCE CASE.

The rawlings of Harry Thaw because he is not given his liberty long enough to contest the suit of his wife for separation and annulment of marriage appear to vindicate the verdict of the jury when it sent him to the Matea- wan asylum. Bad as is his chorus girl wife. one cannot blame her for desiring a divorce. If ever a woman earned the right to generous treat ment from a husband, Evelyn ,ThaW did when she went on the stand in Thaws murder trial and laid bare to the public gaze a career which reeked with debauchery, and if her husband is rational he should not oppose her desire for separation. if for no other reason than gratitude.
 It is reported that Harry Thaw has cast aside the advice of his mother, his friends and his attorneys in seek ing to contest the divorce suit. Be- cause his mother, who has stood by him so nobly, does not now accede to his puerile demands, he asserts that she has deserted him. What com forting recompense this silly attitude must be to the old mother. Already her murderer son ,has cost her a for tune, to say nothing of mental an guish. yet he demands that she shall still indulge his whims and yield to his weak judgment.
 Evelyn Nosbit Thaw is entitled to all she can get from the Thaw family ill the way of money payment. Few women. even lost to shame as she was, would have stood so Loyalty by the man who never really deserved the name of husband. If she can se- cure separation from the Thaw fam ily and will retire permanently from the public gaze, she will be credited with the best possible solution of a problem that is bad enough at best Kansas City Journal

New York, April 29-Under the in fluence of a better Liverpool cable our market opened to 12 points higher and upon some active local short cov- ering gained another ten points and has held the rally very we'll. Liver pool closed we'll up and much of the more favorable local sentiment was reflection from that market. Temper atures were around the freezing point in North Texas, which helped values as did a report that China and Japan were entering the market for goods. The South, who has been sell ing in this market lately, were buying today. There is nothing in the gen eral situation more bullish today than yesterday, when cotton sold at tho lowest of the season, but the decline has been severe and it is possible that the natural upward reaction may go still further

 Parker at Hot Springs. a sister of the late Mrs. Reinach. The money left to the Orphans Home was left in the name of his dead mother, father and wife
 Nose Reinach, brother of the de- ceased, was named as administrator in the will, which is ill J. l.. Reinach s hand writing and he requested that his brother be not required to give bond. In the event of Nose Reinachs $ death before his own, the deceased provided that his other brother, Ro- land Reinach of Little Rock, act as administrator without bond.
 The will also gives Nose Reinach the authority to place the money left the little girl in some trust company and that it remain there until she reaches the age of twenty years. She is to enjoy the interest from same, as well as the principal which will be turned over to her when she reach ed the stated age.
 To his brothers, Nose and Roland Reinach, the deceased bequeaths 55 and 45 per cent respectively of the following sums: From the Knights of Pythias, $3,00O; Equitable Assurance Company, $2,000 and $5,000 accident Insurance.

THE UNCERTAIN JURY.

Yesterday. at Des Moines, in Iowa, eleven white men voted to convict a physician on trial for the murder of his wife, says the St. Louis Times. The twelfth juror, a negro, voted to acquit. The argument in the jury room lasted for hours and grew very heated.
 When. at last, the jury was dis charged without finding a verdict, the eleven men who wanted to convict set upon the lone negro and would have done violence to him but for the interference of the police. Thus We are confronted by the spectacle of an attempted violation of the law by men who were supposed to be equipped for sober interpretation of it.
 Attacks on the jury system come from time to time, but the system, be ing correct, will remain. The failur, ot an occasional juror or jury shoult

NEpEN AT FOL R.

Not many days ago, in New York Senator Chauncey NJ. DepeW cele- brated his 7ith birthday. There was d dinner, with some speaking. Many friends were present and many good stories were told as the fellowship proceeded.
 Senator DepeW is grand old American. A few years ago he was assailed for his connection with a life insurance company. It may be that his fair name suffered somewhat, but for this incident he has not been gen. erally condemned, for the reason. perhaps, that the old railroad presi- dent had so long aided the country to merriment that he was forgiven as soon as accused.
 Depew is an interesting personality He has been force for good cheer. He has been the best story teller of two or three generations. He has been builder He has done more good than harm, which leaves the bal ance in his favor. The other evening, at his birthday dinner, he said that he had long practiced vegetarianismt He said that too much beef and beer meant rheumatism, that old age came with too much living, that efficiency at 70 is nowadays greater than eff. ciency at 50 in the good old days of heavy feeding.
 Thus, ill his old age, is Senator De- pew interesting and instructive. Ii may be that he will not be returned from the State of New York when his successor is chosen. but if he is not he will hold high place in the menl- ory of Americans who like cheerful ness-St. Louis Times.

Honor to Whom Honor Is Due.

A brief but exceedingly impressive
memorial service was that which
stopped every wheel on every Chica-
go. Burlington & Quincy locomotive
and car for five minutes, during the
funeral of Charles f. Perkins, a for
mer president of the road. Precisely
at three O'Clock all trains, no matter
where they We're, came to standstill,
and remained motionless until five
minutes past three. Work of every
kind was also suspended in every of
flee Of the company. The man thus
honored, in a way which he would
probably have appreciated more than
any other, was a rich man who had
worked his way up from the lowest
round of the ladder by means which
disarmed enemies and made friends,
and his honor was more to him than
his money. When a bank in which he
was shareholder and director was in
troube-a trouble known to him, but
not to the depoistors-he came to the
rescue with his whole fortune. Al
though his legal liability was only
$4,000 he poured in million. and
suffered heavy losses for the sake of
saving small depositors, who. before
he died. never even knew what they
had been saved. Such a man, says
Youths Companion, deserves well Of
his country 1t is fitting that the
wheels should stop for a little space
when he goes out.
