HARRY K. THAW DENIED
RIGHT OF JURY TRIAL

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Sept. 90
Harry x. Thaw's plea for a jury trial
to determine his present mental condi-
ton was denied today by Justice Mills
in the supreme court.
At the same time, however, Justice
Mills informed counsel in the case that
on October next he would give Thaw
a summary hearing under the applica-
ton, and that in the meantime the
prisoner will be held in the county Jail
here.
One of the interesting developments
of the day was the formal withdrawal
from the Thaw case of District Attor-
ney Jerome of New York. Mr.. Jerome
said he did not feel justified in incur
ring any more expense to his own Of
fee in connection with the case outside
of his own county. District Attorney
Wtnslow of Westminster county will
now assume the conduct OF the case
against Thaw.
Justice Mills today held that the
criminal commitment of Thaw to Mat
teawan was lawful and authorized.

The denial of the authenticity of an

able discussion at Republican head
quarters. r. l.. Oulahan, in charge of
the literary bureau of the Republican
national committee, made the follow

Mr.. Hastings, executor of the Cieve-
land estate, told me two days ago that
he was convinced that the letter was
genuine. This was after the authority
Of the letter had been questioned. Now
he comes out today and says he be-
lieves 1t was not authoritative. Con-
as far as the Republican
national committee is concerned, no
further attention will be given to the

Beauty and
BAD Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter How a
Womun May Try to Make Them

IT does not matter how beautiful
woman may be, If she is afflicted with
bad breath she will be Stunned and
pitied by men, and even women will
studiously avoid her.
If any woman doubts this statement
let her make a point of asking friend
in whom she may confide, man friend
or relative. If he be honest he will tell
her that foul breath from the mouth of
a woman will drive men from her more
rapidly than any other personal af-
Fiction.
Foul breath arouses in man disgust,
and where this quality is brought into
play no amount of self-Conial or rea-
soning can overcome the natural repug
nance which comes to man when. he is
in company with such a woman.
What is true of bad br tn in woman
is not true in so great degree in men.
Women are looked upon as the incar
nation of sweetness, bl, ding, virtue
and refinement. Foul breath will sick
en- a man so that he cannot feel for
such a woman a compcnionship neces-
sary TO make him desire to be in her
company.
There is absolutely no occasion for
bad breath in either men or women.
Charcoal, the strongest absorbent
known, when taken into the stomach,
will prevent this repugnant tendency
or affliction.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold
in tremendous ouar+'t'-- all over
America and Canada. They cure and
have cured all forms Of bad breath. A
single box will convince you of this
fact. One should eat some of these
lozenges after each meal and upon re-
firing. You might eat fifty of them
without harm. They are not medicine,
but pure willow charcoal mixed with
sweet honey to make them palatable
and compressed into lozenge to pre-
serve their peculiar and lasting
strength.
The next time you wish to go into
company and don't want your foul
breath to humiliate you, eat several of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges and your
breath will be pure and sweet.
Every druggist CART them, price
25 cents, or send us your name and ad-
dress and we will send you a trial
package by mail free. Address F. A.
