Novel treatment for Insanity.

DIR. Henry s. Atkins superintendent of
the ST. Louis Asylum for the Insane, has
been testing an entirely new course Of
treatnsnt for mild cases of insanity
among the woman patients, it being moth
ing more or less than Christmas shop
ping expedition. 1t is his theory that
anything which occupies the mind pleas
antly without causing too much excite
ment must be beneficial. He therefore
sent about twenty of his patients under
the charge of trained nurses, and each
supplied with a moderate amount of
money, to the department stores. The
entire party was so dressed and conducted
that no intimation was given of its real
nature, and this was not suspected by
the other shoppers, the unfortunate wom-
en- deporting themselves in the most con-
ventional and natural way possible.
Luncheon was essen at the restaurant,
which all enjoyed, and it was with re-
luctance, but no attempt at resistance,
that they returned to their quarters in
the asylum.

BOMB EXPLOSION INJURIES TEN.
EeSement House Is Wrecked and

TeSement House Is Wrecked and
Tenants Thrown Into Panic.
Ten persons were injured By an ex-
plosion of three dynamite bombs, which
partially wrecked a six-story tenement
building on East Sixty-fourth street,
New York. The injured were removed to
Flower hospital. The bombs were plant
ed in the cellar of the tenement and ex-
plodsd one after another in quick sac
ression. The explosion threw TIE occu-
pants of the tenement into panic, and
there was much excitement among the
patients and nurses of Flower hospital,
which is only short distance away.
Scores of people rushed from the ada
cent houses, and the police had all they
could do to quiet the terror-stricken ten
ants. The first explosion occurred di-
rectly under the front windows of the
tenement; the second in the cellar was d.
rectly under ehe hall, which wrecked
woodwork for several flights, and the
other directly under the sleeping apart
ments of Andrew Acquario, who lived
with his family on the first floor. The
police would not allow tenants to use
the wrecked stairway, as it was consid-
cred too dangerous to use. An alarm OF
fire had been sent in soon after the ex-
plosion. and the hremen helped the ten
ants out Of the building by means of lad
aers. There are a number of Italians
among the tenants in the house, and the
police think the bombs were exploded by
members of the Black Hand Society.

Young Millionaire Who Shot Stan
ford White Again Faces the
Charge of Murder.
SCENE IN NEW YORK COURT
Evelyn VIII Repeat Her Story, but
"Unwritten Law" Will Not Be
Relied On.

The second trial of Harry Kendall
Thaw. the young Pittsburg swell and
spendthrift, for the murder of Stan
ford White, the New York architect
and man about town, is again under
way. 1t was tedious work securing
jury. The first trial was reported SO
completely and was so widely read in
all its sensa sional and nauseating de-
tails that an attempt to secure twelve
men who had not read of the case and
formed more or less of an opinion was
hopeless The NEST acceptable jurors
then, were those who could swear that
despite reading an opinion they could
judge Thaw's guilt or innocence purely
on the evidence submitted to them.
As to the actual commission of the
deed, of course, there is no question.
The defense is not to combat that pal
pable fact Neither is it relying, as
Delmas did in the first trial, on "the
unwritten law" Martin W. Littleton,
DelmaS' successor as chief counsel, de-
ponds entirely on the plea that Thaw
was insane and irresponsible at the
time of the shooting.
The prosecution is devoting itself to
proving the commission of the crime
and to controverting the evidence for
the defense Littleton will put Evelyn
Thaw upon the stand and she will tell
her story all over again. This is neces-
or sv N, nvdn 70
was reason for Thaw's attack of brain
storm or insanity, but the young wife
will not be handled as tenderly by the
prosecution in cross-questioning as she
was before. Jerome has had one of
his assistants follow out the European
tour, mile by mile, which Thaw and the
girl took before marriage and will be
able to catch up the witness at every
misstatement as to that trip.
Evelyn has so far been in daily at
tendance on the trial ard is putting up
the same bluff of appeal 'ng in the SIM
pie garb of an ingenu Gus school girl,
though she is mature woman with ex-
periences enough back of her to fill sew
eral lifetimes. Her girlish, almost in
fantile, appearance and her counterfeit
ing of confiding innoceD-e at the first
trial had a tremendous effect 1t is
doubtful if they will be much of lever
this time in moving public opinion or in
impressing the jury.
Judge Victor J. Bowling is doing all
he can to expedite the proceedings.
There has been at this second trial no
great crush to attend the proceedings,
though there Is daily assemblage out
side to see Evelyn pass from her auto
mobile to the court room or to see
Thaw cross the bridge of sighs'' on his
way back to the Tombs.
Thaw is in good health. Regular
hours, plain food and forced decency of
life have had good effect on his ply
steal condition.
