New York. April 2O.-James A. Ora ham of Newburgh. engaged by liar ry K. Thaw about two weeks ago to take legal steps to bring about his release from Matteawan asylum, said tonight that an application has been made to Justice Horscheuser at White Plains. for an order to permit ThaW to sign an application for hab baas cor pus. a preliminary step in the hearing to determine the sanity of Thaw. Gra- ham added that it probably would be several weeks before the application would be made for habeas cotpus.
 He added: Since I was retained in the case by Thaw, about two weeks ago. ] have made a careful study of his condition, and l feel perfe, ,tly sat- isfied that Thaw is sane man. There is a deep question in my mind wheth- CT he should ever have been sent to Matteawan. notwithstanding the nor bid influences to which he is subjected at Matteawan he is much better than he was. I cannot say just when the for nal application for the writ of habeas corpus will be made but the order is likely to be returnable in eithac New burgh or White Plains"
 When told tonight that an effort was being made to have Thaw releas- ed from Matteawan asylum. District Attorney Jerome said that he and As sistant District Attorney Frank IT, vine would go before Justice Hor- schausen of White Plains if the latter granted Q writ of habeaS curpus to James 4.

MOST SUICIDES IN VIENNA.
More Men Than Women GreatesN
Number Last Year in April.

More Men Than Women Greatestl
Number Last Year in April.
Among all the, European capitals
Vienna has long enjoyed an unenvia-
BILE pre-eminence for it's number of
suicides.
Unfortunately. the figures for last
year tend to enhance this reputation
The Official records show that 356 men
and 10S women committed suicide, as
compared with 315 men and 40 women
in 1906, a total increase of 80. Be-
sides this, there were no fewer than
739 attempts at suicide, AL by men
and 298 by women.
The preponderance of men over
women appears somewhat striking
three to one-but taking the cases OF
actual suicides and attempts together
this proportion is reduced to less than
two to one. Illness and mental disor-
ders were responsible for more than
a fourth Of the total suicides; un
happy love affairs accounted for twen-
ty-five, povery for thirty-two and dis
satisfaction with their surroundings for
thirty-fiye.
The highest number of suicides took
place in April, sixty-one, and the low.
est in May and September, with thir-
ty-one each.

HIGH PAY IN COLLEGE CHOIR.

Amherst Men Get Remuneration. but
There Is a Lack Of Enthusiasm.
There was a service on a recent
Sunday in the Amherst College chap
ell, in which for the first time that
was recalled there was no choir. This
body of singers is made up of stu
dents, and although numbers have
varied, ordinarily there have been
enough to make up a considerable
choir. r..
The college catalog says: "The
duties of the choir are to lead singing
daily at morning prayers and at the
Sunday morning service. Students
may become members of the choir
whenever there are vacancies. They
receive remuneration for their serv-
ices"
The Amherst Student, the college
paper, says: "The remuneration
clause is somewhat indefinite. In
spite of this it has been learned that
the dispenser of funds has<been most
generous. For instance, one member
received remuneration for singing at
chapel and church. at the rate Of. 8
131-10O0 cents day. The maximum
daily pay for one individual was 10
43-100 cents. Furthermore, 1t has.
been the custom to subtract one-third
for hardness. With such magnani-
nous liberality we see no reason for
dissatisfaction"

FOOD FRAUDS
Minnesota Dairy and Food Com.
mission Puts Several Things
Under Its Ban

The following bulletin, under dat
of Oct. 8, has just been issued by
the Minnesota Dairy and Food Com.
s1ission: -..~ '-...~ s.s..--. -
This department has been giving
particular attention to food displays
the past few weeks at the state fair
and at various county fairs. The OBJ
ject in view has been to inform pur-
chasers of food products in regard to
methods employed by dishnest manu-
facturers in adulterating and mis-
branding food articles and to call at
tention to the necessity of state
supervision.
In making these exhibits attention
has been called to:
Butter" which was oleomargarine
colored with coal-tar dye.
Tomato Catsup" made from can
ming factory refuse, colored with coal
tar dye and preserved with salicylic
acid. .....5
"Olive Oil'' composed chiefly of cot
tenseed oil.
Maple Syrup" composed chiefly OF
cane syrup.
Pepper" composed chiefly of
ground olive stones, cocoanut shells
sawdust or other inert material.
"Currant Jelly" manufactured from
refuse apple stock, commercial glucose
and gelatin and colored with coal-tar
dive, preserved with salicylic acid and
favored with current juice.
"Cider., Vinegar made of diluted
commercial acetic acid and colored
with burnt sugar.
Coffee adulterated with chicory.
Cream" testing IL Per cent but
terfat, thickened with gelatin and
colored with annato.
Pickles" colored with copper salts,
hardened with alum and sweetened
with saccharin.
Prepared Mustard" made of wheat
flour, mustard hulls and adulterated
vinegar and colored with coal-tar
dye.
Fresh Meat" taken from cold stor-
age where it had been held for six
months.
These analyses are representative
of the more flagrant violations dis
covered by this department in en-
forcing the pure food laws. While
the great majority of violations do not
comprise such serious authorizations
the analyses quoted, are genuine and
demonstrate the extent to which some
manufacturers will go in putting their
products upon the market.
am very anxious that the findings
OF our chemists shall be given the
widest publicity possible, believing
that in no more effective way can
the pure food work in this state make
progress.
In this connection I wish to state
The Sauk Centre herald., 1908-10-15

that the people of this state owe the
public press a debt of gratitude for,
the high quality of foodstuffs on the
market. The. work of this depart
ment is peculiar inasmuch as it's
effectiveness is dependent upon pub
licity.
Public attention has been directed
to the question of purity in food pro-
ducts and the dealers of the state
have evidenced great interest in
handling legal goods because their
customers have demanded it. The
success of the work in the future will
necessarily depend upon the amount
ct publicity given to it. 4.

CAUGHT IN A PRAIRIE BLIZZARD.
How School Children of a Nebraska
Town Were HELPED to Homes.

4
Town Were Helped to Homes.
Last Sunday was the twentieth
anniversary of the great blizzard of
1888 in Nebraska and northwestern
Iowa." said G. D. Riggs the other
day. II was living in O'Neill, Neb., at
the time, and had just left the Office
to go home for dinner when the bliz-
zard struck. ..-..
II started to cross the street to a
drug store, but when / reached the
other side l found myself half way
down the block from my destination.
"The fine wind-driven snowfiakes
field the air so that l couldn't see
my hand before me. finally worked
my way back to the drug store, where
a number of other men had taken
refuge from the storm. -a1..r .-
School had just been dismissed for
the noon recess and we know that
nearly 800 children were out in the
storm. Securing long ropes, the
crowd started out to rescue them. We
found them huddled in doorways and
by the sides of buildings. The chill
dren caught hold of the ropes and
were led to shelter by their rescuers,
whose sense of direction gradually re-
turned to them. Every one of the
800 school children in the town was
got home in safety.
"But seven school teachers were
frozen to death in the country during
the blizzard and thousands of cattle
died. The thermometer fell from
about the freezing point at noon to
20 degrees below zero that night. 1t
was the worst blizzard l ever saw
and l never want to experience an
other like it."

Mans Modesty.

Men are more self-conscious than
women in public, according to the Bos-
ton Herald. A man would be much
more disconnected to find his stocking
curling over his boot when he is en-
deavoring to be agreeable in a parlor
than woman would be if some such
trivial accident befell her. Mans mod
esty is often synonymous with self
consciousness or vanity. The Oriental
woman yelled her face and was not
disturbed if other parts of her body
were revealed. What normal man
would be brave enough to attend din
ner party with bare shoulders and a
low-necked shirt? Modesty, in the
conventional meaning of the word, is
governed by custom, time and coun-
try.

With this she turns abruptly to the
left, and Barnes following her, they
struggle up couloir filled with mas
sive boulders, but nearing the summit
the mist becomes colder, the wind
sharper and the gloom more deep. Sur
rounded, as they are, by frightful
precipices. this is appalling.

her voice low with faintness, but a
moment after she cries: "Ah, see the
granite cliff. Follow it's wall! The
cabin is beneath it. But beware!
beyond the cabin there is very deep
crevice."
The wind bowls about them. The
night is even blacker, but keeping the
sheen of the cliff close at his left,
Barnes stumbles over the granite
slabs almost carrying the exhausted
girl. Finally, compelled by the howl,
ing of the wind, he calls into her ear:
Courage! l see the hut. Thank God
someone has fire inside it,"
Perhaps it is made by the awful
bandits, the Rochini and Romano who
murder so many poor travellers
shudders Marina.
But undeterred by this, using the
light as a beacon, her escort rapidly
approaches the open door of the little
cabin, from which issues a cheerful
| CLEAN.
Suddenly they pause, for a deer

terror; ''Hola, if you are gendarmes
