THAW IN FORMER QUARTERS
His Mother Will Take Up Residence
at Matteawan Tomorrow.

White Plains, n. Y. Aug. 10
Harry X. Thaw is back in his old
quarters in tle Matteawan asylum for
the criminal insane. He babe good
bye to his mother in the consultation
room of the Jail here
Mrs. Thaw bore up well and will
move to Matteawan on Friday to re-
sumo her residence near the asylum
Before leaving Thaw issued the fol
| lowing statement:
Il don't question Justice Mills hon
esty, but surely his opinion is not as
good as Dr. Adolph Meyers, or DR..
Schmidt and all the otner alieniests
who examined me, or the judges or
laymen who know me well. The
Judge was wrong in relying upon DR..
Baker as impartial, when out of 267
clippings he produced 81 connected
with Stanford White mounted on
pasteboard, but completely left out
240 others containing quotations
from Lincoln's speeches. articles by
Professor Brashner, etc. Also the
Judge was mistaken in trusting any
thing DR. Baker said after he swore
ne had forgotten that he told DR. Pill
81 III anu MI ItdUouN anu ilt at lilt
end of eleven weeks of careful exami-
nation that he and DR.. Lamb were
positive | had no trace of paranoia.
He also swore he had told Mr. Ora
ham that he and DR.. Lamb had found
no evidence of il after, as told by his
own testimony, | had fully answered
all their questions. Did the Judge
forget that Mr.. Jerome was afraid to
let Dr. Baker testify as an expert?
Il visa to express my appreciation
of the respect and courtesy the Judge
showed my mother, but if my mother
breaks down or the bad conditions at
Matteawan surrounded by dangerous
lunatics and general privation should
ruin my health, Justice Mill will be
responsible for sending me there, for
his decision is not supported by the
lawful evidence.
1T was hard to be acquitted by
twelve men and then locked up by
one. One man should not be permit
ed to imprison another man for life.
This same judge over year ago
stated in this same court that he be
lieved the time would come when Mr.
Thaw should have a trial by jury
(Signed) II. X. Thaw."

Poets Wills.

Famous poets make interesting
wills. Browning's was written in his
own beautiful hand, with the initials
of all the nouns substantive in CAPT
tails, after the olden use; and the at.
testing witnesses were "a. Tennyson'
and IF. T. Palgrave." Matthew Ar
nold's, also referred to, was remarka-
BILE for its breyity. A bakers dozen of
words we're deemed enough: 81 leave
everything of which die possessed to
my wife Frances Lucy" This, how.
ever, because no executor was ap.
pointed, had to be set aside for letters
OF administration; but the result was
the same. These two famous Wills
form, with Shakespeares, the most
notable trio perhaps ever handled by
probate In England.

Burlington seems to be a hard city
to police, not to keep in order but to
secure a force that is not continually
in trouble of some kind. The latest
incident is the pounding of hackman
by a policeman and the infiicting of
sucn punishment that action cannot
be taken by the authorities until after
the extent of the mans injuries, which
are serious, are ascertained. During
the tercentenary celebration one of
the policemen at Burlington cut open
mans head with a billy just because
the visitor to the city, who had been
drinking more than was good for him,
did not move quite soon enough to
suit the temporary wearer of a big
badge. Whoever is responsible for
the selection of the police force in
Burlington is either not much of a
judge of human nature or is guided by
motives other than the good of the
city.

Many parents call in the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage of what the physician told
them when he was first called in con
sultation. All good family physicians
say: Give the children Castoria.
Healthy parents know this remedy of
old, for they took ii themselves as
children. 1t was more than tnirty

these much-read-about families. Here
is what he says:
"As the father of thirteen children

my years of practice. found Castoria
popular and efficient remedy in al
most every home
Charles II. Fletcher has received
hundreds of letters from prominent
physicians who have the same esteem
for Castoria that DR.. McCrann has.
Not only do these physicians say they
use Castoria in their own families,
but they prescribe it for their patti
ents. First of all it is a vegetable
preparation which assimilates the
food and regulates the stomach and
bowels. After eating comes sleeping,
and Castoria looks out for that too.
1t allays feyerishness and prevents
loss of sleep, and this absolutely
without the use of opium, morphine
or other baneful narcotic.

Most labor-Savers cost money.

A new-fangled washer, an electric sad

out a good sum to start with.
But Fels- Naptha Soap will save you
more work than all these other things put
together and it costs no more than other
soaps.
Labor-saving and economy are COM
bined in Fels-Naptha
And labor is not the only thing saved
When you wash with FelS- Naptha Soap
the Fels-Naptha way, in cool or lukewarm
water, it saves the clothes.
No boiling to soften them; no hard
rubbing to wear them out.
They last twice as long.
No matter how big the washing is, it
doesn't take half as long as if you boiled
and hard-rubbed the clothes.
They'll be sweeter, whittier and cleaner.

Be sure and use cool or lukewarm
water in Winter or Summer-no boiling
