Rome. April 20.-Turkey has acceded to the Italian demand for Italian post offices in Turkish territory, in order to avoid a naval demonstration in her waters. Italy insists, however. that her other claims against the Ottoman empire be recognized and an active ex- change of dispatches between Con- stantinople and Rome is going on.
 Turkey has communicated officially to the Italian government that 1t does not object to Italian postoffices in the Turkish cities wh ere the other powers have like institutions. Furthermore the Porte has practically acknowledged the other Italian claims In the matter of the right of Italians freely to pur- chase property on Turkish territory and with regard to coast navigation. As a result of these concessions. the Italian government has issued orders to the fleet that was about to depart for Turkey. to remain in Italian wa ters and the Incident is regarded as closed.

FOR THAW'S RELEASE
NEW COUNSEL APPLIES FOR HA-

J. c. Graham of Newburg Secure. an Order Favorable to the Young Miliionaire's In-
 fereat

Poughkeepsie. N. r.. April 2o.-The first step toward the release of Harry K. Thaw from the Matteawan Asylum for the Insane was taken today.
 James c. Graham of EewburE, of Thaw's counsel. made application to Justice Morsschauer of White Plains for an order directing the superin- tendent of the asylum to permit Thaw to sign formal application for a writ of habeas corpue. The order was grant, ed and when Thaw has made applica- tion he will probably be brought be- fore justice for a hearing to deter~ mine whether or not he Is insane.
 According to the usual procedure In such cases, Thaw will sign the appli- cation for a writ of habeas corpus, which will then be submitted to Jus- tice of the Supreme Court. probably Justice Morschauser. Then Thaw will appear before a Justice of the Supreme Court for a hearing to determine whether he should be released from the asylum as sane.
 Probably this hearing will be held before Justice Morschauser at Pongh- keepsie.

CONSCIENCE HAD SLEPT LONG.
PurIoiner of Cake of Soap Makes
Restitution After Twenty Years.

Imagine a conscience that would
span 20 years and drive man to re-
member a theft of cake OF soap.
That there is such a conscience, how
ever is proved by the receipt few
weeks ago Of two cakes of soap by a
storekeeper in a little town in Mime
sofa. Twenty years ago this man,
Edward Hamilton, had a small store
in st. Paul. In front of his establish
ment he had a showcase in which he
displayed several large cakes OF soap
of special make. One morning he
found the glass broken open and one
of the cakes of soap missing. The
theft was so small that the matter was
never reported, and Hamilton had for
gotten it, till he received letter from
the thief, which read:
Dear Sir: l send you two cakes
of soap in payment for one I took from
your showcase in st. Paul many years
ago. l recently saw your ADVERTISE
ment in a country paper and learned
of the change of your place OF busi-
ness. l regret deeply having taken the
soap, and trust that this which l send
will satisfactorily take its place.

pointed out however, that the varie-

to the first syllable, "y' being letter
lacking, or having only an Indifferent

the most peculiar spellings, while
"Whypserlanter" and "Hipasslander"

PAYS THE PENALTY
CHESTER GILLETTE PUT TO
DEATH IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
IN AUBURN PRISON.
CONFESSED TO HIS SPIRITUAL ADVISORS
While the Confession Was Not Made
Public the Preachers Declare That
No Legal Mistake Was Made In Gil
Iette's EIectrocution--Went to Chair
Without Emotion.

Albany, N. Y, Mar. Chichester H.
Gillette Monday paid the full penalty
of the brutal murder of Grace Brown.
He went to his death in the electric
chair at Auburn prison without sign
of weakness and with the same lack OF
emotion which has characterized MN
from the day he was arrested charged
with the crime. Gillette appeared to
have been fully reconciled to his rate,
and in a statement given out by MS
spiritual advisers Immediately after the
execution, it is indicated that ne had
made a confession of his guilt. This
statement was signed by the Rev. Hen
nv McIlravy of Little Falls, and the
Rev. Cordello Herrick, the prison chap
lain. who had attended Gillette since
he has been in the death cell at the
prison. 1t was as follows:
Because our relationship with Ches-
ter Gillette was privileged we do not
deem 1t wise to make detailed state
ment. and simply wish to say that no
legal mistake was made in his electro
cution."
Gillette himself, so far as the public
was concerned, never admitted his
crime. His last word, in the form OF
a statement which he prepared with
painstaking care Sunday night, was
made public after he had been put to
death Monday morning. In this state
ment Gillette implored young men to
lead Christian lives.
Any fear which the prison officials
may have entertained that Gillette s
remarkable composure would desert
him at the last moment was quickly
dispelled when he stepped from his
cell to the corridor leading to the
death chamber. His step was firm and
strong and he walked rapidly toward
the instrument of death. Not ever
by the culver of an eye lash did he be
tray the least sign of emotion and al
no stage did he require assistance from
the keepers and his spiritual advisers
who accompanied him in his last walk
He seated himself in the chair, the
straps and electrodes were placed ant
within two minutes Gillette had beef
officially pronounced dead.

We may trust the university student
readily to agree with the professor
who has made the great scientific dis
covery that tobacco makes a man.
The youth who Is mixing educational
endeavor with a knowledge of the
graceful art of blowing smoke rings
will bite his bulldog pipe the closer in
his teeth and feel that he has been
indicated. OF course, If it isn't wrong
or harmful the pipe will not taste so
good, but then he can get enough au-
thority on that side of the fence to
satisfy himself and the new discovery
of the professors will come in handy
to use in arguments with his parents.
1t is wonderful what a college profess
isor can discover when he sets out in
a certain direction, knowing in adj
vance just where he will arrive.

standardizlna EducatIsn.

When Mr.. Carnegie established his
Foundation for the Advancement OF
Teaching, he may or may not nave
had in mind a unifcation and star
dardizing of college education IN
North America; but that Is something
which his great gift is likely to accom-
plish. The nominal purpose OF the
Foundation is to provide fund the in
come from which may provide rstlr-
ing pensions for aged professors IN
such non-sectarian colleges OF the Uni
ted States, Canada and Newfoundland
as are not supported by the state.
This purpose has been strictly ad-
herel to, but in order that 1t might be
accomplished it has been necessary
for the president and trustees to do
much preliminary work. What is a col
lege? What is "non-sectarian" Does
a small grant from state constitute
state support? These and other SINH
lar questions were fundamental. In
order to settle the first one, says the
Youths Companion, the officers OF the
Foundation were obliged to establish
certain standards of admission, cur
riculum and graduation, to which
every institution which desires its pro-
fessors to benefit by the fund must
conform. The direct result is a gen.
eral raising of the standard of college
education throughout North America.
The result of the investigation into
the sectarianism of colleges is having
the effect of defining more clearly
than has ever been done before the re-
lations between various denomina-
lions and the colleges with which they
have been related by bonds of one sort
or another This, too, is gain. Still
a third result is the establishment OF
q uniform system Of accounting among
college treasurers, which, in TURF, will
make possible better knowledge OF
and a chance for wise suggestions con-
corning the investment of college
funds. The value of participation in
the benefit of this fund is keenly felt
by the colleges, A large part of the
time of the trustees is devoted to in
vestigating the claims of American in
situations which desire that their pro-
lessons shall share in the pensions
Yielded by the fund.

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result 10
Almost Like Magic-useful, Too.

Anything in the nature of chem
zeal experiment is always Interesting
and usually educative. Here Is SIM
nile experiment which any child can
nerform and which Is instructive in
very practical way: Get bit OF Wnlte
Lead about the size of a pea, a piece
of charcoal common candle IN
candlestick, and blow-pipe. scoop
ont a little hollow in the charcoal 10
hold the White Lead, then light the
candle take the charcoal and lead IN
one hand and the blow-pipe in the
other. with the large end OF the blow'
pipe between the lips; blow the hame
of the candle steadily against the plt
of White Lead on the charcoal and II
the White Lead is pure 1t Will pres
emily resolve itself into little shining
globules of metallic lead, under the
intense heat Of the blow-pipe, leaving
no residue.
If, however, the White Lead is adul-
terated in the slightest degree, 1t Will
not wholly change into lead. So, 1t
will be seen, tat this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also OF practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient OF paint,
II should be bought pure and unaduF
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any
one to know whether the paint is the
kind which will wear or not.
The National Lead Company guar
antee that white lead taken from a
package bearing their Dutch Boy
Painter" trademark will prove abso-
lutely pure under the blow-pipe test;
and to encourage people to make the
test and prove the purity of paint be-
fore using it, they will send free a
blow-pipe and a valuable booklet on
paint to anyone writing them asking
for Test Equipment. Address Ma
