Asserted That the Prosecution
Will Close Its Case and
Judge Bowling viii Charge
The Jury Before Noon.
SUMMING UP OF EVIDENCE
TO BE CONCISE 1T is SAID.
Both the Defense and Prose-
Cution Desire to Bring the
Hearing to a HaIt-EveIyn's
Testimony Will Stand.

New York. ain. 2S.-Attorney Little
ton, for the defense, announced that he
would begin summing up in the ThaW
Trial tomorrow morning. Jerome
said it would take him only about
three hours TO close the prosecution
case. Judge DowIing's charge to the
jury will begin probably Thursday
morning and the case will go to the
Jury, it is thought, by noon Thursday
Hummell's testimony was admitted
and was read in return for cOnces-
sion. Jerome consented to the adnlis-
sion as evidence the ThaW will which
was made on his wedding day. Several
minor witnesses were examined in re
buttal.
An English physician, one of the
three men OF medicine who testified
yesterday, gave the name of 'mania-de-
pressive" or sub-acute mania to Thaws
mental condition. DR.. Sydney Russell
Wells. of London, made the diagnosis
during an outbreak by Thaw in Lon
don in 1899. when, with a normal tenn
perature Thaw demanded that the
walls OF his room in q ursing home be
torn down that he might have air and
put twenty tons of ice in the apartment
to cool it.
Mr.. LitletonS question which was a
complete resume of the evidence. with
the exception. as District Attorney Jer-
ONE pointed out. of the thestimony of
James Clinch Smith. brother-in-law
of Stanford White. who talked with
Thaw for fifteen minutes just before
Square garden. The question contain
ed some sixteen thousand words.
Explains "Mania-Depreesive" Insanity.
DR.. Wagner was asked to explain
nia-depressive'' insanity to the
jury. one of the foreign physicians hav-
ing employed this term to Thaws out
breaks abroad. The witness said il
was a circular form of insanity where
the periods of maniacal violence were
followed by spells of depression or mel
ancholia and then by period of san
ity, the same process recurring from
time to time.
Justice Bowling put a series of very
important questions to the witness ev-
identity for the purpose of his own
guidance in the event of verdict of
acquittal on the ground of insanity
when it was in the discretion of the
court to commute the defendant to an
asylum for the criminal insane.
EVELYN Thaw's Evidence Stands.
District Attorney jerome moved
that all of the evidence of Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw be stricken from the record
on the ground that she had not pro
duced in evidence the fourteen letters
from Stanford White she showed
Thaw in Paris. He said that only part
of her story had been told SO that Ger
tain evidence had been selected fOl
presentation and other evidence left
out. Mr. Littleton objected to the dis
trict attorney making speech and
Justice Bowling said there was nc
necessity to proceed further. He ov
erruled the motion.

HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE
MAKES TON
Thinks Pension Roll Should Be
S15O,OOO,OOO.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-The house
subcommittee on pensions has agreed
to recommend pension roll of $780,
O00, 900 for the fiscal year ending June
80. 1909. This will be about $1,000
GOO in excess OF the pension roll of the
present fiscal year. The increase is
largely due to the provisions OF the
McCumber bill. effective in February,
1907. by which the enlargement Of
pensions in accordance with age and
the adjustment of physical eXamin-
alton as a prerequisite to the estab-
lishment of pension claims on account
of physical disability were brought
about. The secretary Of the interior
and the commissioner of pensions
have been invited to appear next Mon
day before the subcommittee and sup
port the recommendation that the
number of pension agencies in the
United States be reduced from eigh-
teen to nine or to one only at Wash
ington. The proposed reduction has
been suggested in the interest of econ
Omy.

LIGHTED Streets In Europe.

The best lighted street in Europe,
declares a weekly paper. is Inter den
Linden, in Berlin. Perhaps it is, but
we would not be sure. In the torrent
scanned hills of the Jura. where water
power is as cheap as anywhere in the
world. there are little French villa ges
in which every tiny cottage has its
electric light installation, and the cen
trail street. that one could almost jump
across. is flooded by the beams Of arc
lamps that would do credit TO the
Strand. However. the Berlin boule-
ward. otherwise a disappointing thor
oughfare. is certainly we'll illumi-
mated. Plate glass, Pilsener and police
men are the three most striking fea-
lures of that capital. but the lighting
Of the streets is a good fourth.-Lon-

COTTON IN india.
The Way It Was Discovered by Man
Who Was an Observer.


A remarkable story is told about the
discovery Of the cotton plant in India
some years ago. Two gentlemen were
driving out to dinner near Bombay,
one the host and the other his guest.
On both sides of the road were hedges.
1t was getting dark. but the guest
noticed some white stuff on the top OF
the hedges all the way along and at
length told his friend that he thought
it looked like cotton. His friend order
ed the native driver to stop. and the
two Englishmen got down and exam
ined. The guest was right 1t was cot
ton Of an extraordinary strong staple.
Both men were cotton experts. and
yet the host. who had driven along the
same road for years. had passed the
cotton without recognizing it. The
guest Immediately proceeded to buy
up these hedges. for except them there
were none that he had seen during a
twelve years residence in India.
During his Investigations he discov-
cred that natives often had one or two
cotton trees in their gardens. and the
English club compounds possessed
three or four in different parts of In
bay district did he see cotton growing
in such luxuriant abundance.
He bought up every tree and plant
he could, for not a single native Euro
pean imagined that it was a cotton
tree that he possessed in his garden

NOLENT VACCINATIONS

St. Louis, January 2S-His ire
sistibIe desire to yawn compelled
John r. Barnes. a 3rintcr, to seek
medical attention six times in one
day.
One morning, eight years ago,
when Barnes arose from bed and
yawned he found he couldn't close
his jaws. He consulted a physi
clan. who set the dislOcatiOn. Since
then Barnes has never yawned
without the penalty Of a visit to a
physician.
He was eating sandwich in
restaurant on Saturday and opened
wide his mouth. His jaws imme-
diately became dislOcated. He went
TO the City Hospital for treatment
and returned to finish his meal.
The same thing happened again,
and the next day he made no few

ACADEMIC COSTUMES.
Square Cap or Berretta Hood Survival
Of the Ancient Cope.

or tne Ancient Ccpe.
Academic costume was originally the
ordinary dress of the period in which
it was prescribed. Medieval statutes
were directed not to the wearing of
any particular robe, but against cx-
travagant taste in or deficiencies of
dress. At Heidelberg, for instance, stu
dents were forbidden to go out without
ing to the heels" The most purely
academic part of the costume was the
square cap or berretta, with a tuft on
the top lin lieu of the very modern
tasseD, which was the distinctive
badge OF the mastership. Its posses
sion was much coveted. and, according
to one authority. lit is only in post
medieval times that the berretta, first
without then with, the sacred apex
has been usurped, first by bachelors,
then by undergraduates and now tout
side the universities by mere choris-
ters or school boys" The gown. or
toga. on the other hand was an IN
official robe or cassock Of various col
ors the favorite at Oxford being
green, blue or blood COLOR
The hood is a survival of the ancient
cappa, or cope, which is still to be seen
in the official robes Of the chancellor Of
Cambridge It formed part of the gar
ment, like the cowl Of a monks robe,
and was not restricted to graduates,
being the ordinary clerical dress. and
not even exclusively clerical. 1T is
only the material OF the hood which
was Chars cteristic of degree or office"
the use of minever, for instance, being
confined to masters "Silk hoods came
in perhaps toward the end Of the four
teenth century az a summer alterna-
tive for masters. whose winter fur
hoods were something more than an
honorary appendage in the mwarmed
schools and churches of medieval
times" At oxford undergraduates lost
their hoods in 1890, but II was not till

PARIS IN 1869.
Never Had the Empire Seemed Moro
ArSnreJ More RriIIiaot

Assured, the Court More Brilliant.
The last flicker of the candle. the
last dame OF the dying fire, is ever the
brightest, and so it was with Paris in
1869.
Never had the empire seemed more
assured the court more brilliant, the
feteS more gorgeous. The light heart
cd PariSianS reveled in the daily sights
of royal professions and cavalcades.
The Bots de Boulogne and the Champs
Elysees, where we were living at that
time, were crowded with splendid
equipaSes. l remember often seeing
the Empress Eugene. then the hand
soonest woman in Europe, driving in
her daumont, the green and gold liv-
cries of the positions and outriders
making a brave show. Nor We're four
horses and positions the privilege OF
royalty alone. Princess Metternich,
the wife Of the Austrian ambassador,
often went out in similar style. The
beautiful Nine. de Canisy and the
Duchesse de Mouchy. the empress
greatest and perhaps only intimate
friend, and host of court ladies' habit
ually drove out in great state and help
ed by the magnitcence of their ap-
pearance to give to Paris that air Of
elegance and distinction which could
neither be surpassed nor emulated by
any other capital in Europe. Even
among those who had forebodings of
the gathering storm no one had de-
serted the black shadow cast on the
blue sky by the approaching figure of
Bellona, her fierce eyes fixed on happy,
smiling, tranquil France.-Lady Ran
dolph Churchill in Century.

TAILORS IN A RIOT.
Refused to Permit Performance That
Satirixed Their Craft.

In 1869 Foote had produced a bur
lcsgue. the author of which has never
been discovered. entitled The Taiors;
u Tragedy For Warm Weather" Dow
ton announced the revival of this piece
for his benefit. AS the title implies, It
was satire upon the sartorial craft,
and upon the bills being issued an in
dignatiOn meeting was convened by the
knights OF the needle, who vowed to
oppose the performance by might aud
main.
Menacing letters We're sent to Dow
ton telling him that 1900 tailors
would attend to his piece. and one,
who signed himself Death" added
that 10000 men could be found if nee
essary. These threats We're laughed
at by the actors, but when night came
it was discovered that the craft were
in earnest and that with few excep-
tons they had contrived to secure ev-
cry seat in the house, while mob
without still squeezed for admission.
The moment Dowton appeared upon
the stage there was a hideous uproar
and some one threw a pair OF shears
at him.
Not word would the rioters listen
to. nor would they accept any compro-
mise in the way of changing the piece.
Within howled and Kissed without in
PERMISSION hundreds Of exasperated
tailors; outside howled and beloved
thousands Of raging tailors, who at
tempted to storm the house. So for
miIable did the riot wax that a mag
istrate had to be sent for and special
Consta bles called ont. but these were
helpless against overwhelming odds. so
a troop of life guards was ultimately
summoned, who. after making sixteen
prisoners. put the rest to hight.-Amer-
lean Tailor and Cutter.
