peals to which Thaw' referred is
one which has been under consid-
Grafton for some time. It came
before Justice Mills last October
when Thaw applied for an order
setting aside his commitment on
the ground that the court which
had committed him was without
power to issue such an order mas
much as Thaw at the time was not
on trial on a question of sanity.
At the same time he asked to
have the question of his mental
condition submitted to a jury.
When Justice Mills promptly de-
MED this application the case was
carried to the appellate division
which sustained Justice Mills.
Thaw's attorney has already
made a second appeal and it is up
on this appeal that Thaw says
his efforts will be based.

G ALT LAKE, Utah, Aug. 12.-Sam-
uel r. Vansant, former governor
of Minnesota, became comman-
der-in-chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic today. He won over Judge
VIM. A. Ketcham of Indiana, by a
vote of 5S7 to 156.

elected over Mrs. Belle Harris of Kan
sas, by vote of 213 to 80.
Both elections were held in execu-

choice would be necessary to secure
full expression of the will of the
majority. In addition to Commander
Vansant the following officers were
elected:
Senior vice commander, W. M. Bos-
taph, Ogden; junior vice commander,
Judge Alfred Beers, Bristol Conn. !;

MOTHER DYING; IN WANT.
"Wait Till l Get Work." Says Boy
of 12 Years.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-For more
than a year Abraham Estrine, iron
worker, living at No. 1861 Bathgate
avenue, has been making gallant
fight to support his wife and eight
small children on salary of So a
week. Now he has reached the end
of his rope, as he puts it, and unless
some philanthropic persons help him
out there is no telling what will hap
pen to the family.
The mother is in F'ordham hospital,
dying of a complication of diseases.
She has been there two weeks, during
which time Mrs. Pastor, mother of the
former Rose Pastor, now Mrs. ]. G.
Phelps Stoke, has visited the home
and, with Fannie Estrine, IL, the old
est child, has cared for the children
washed them, dressed them, fed them.
Neighbors, none of them being blessed
with too much money, have aided so
far as they could.
everything will be all right when
mamma comes home" said Fannie. Il
can take care of the others here while
pop is working. Mrs. Pastor has been
awfully good to us. She's a grand
lady, she isl"
"Yep," chimed in Frank, almost II
years old, "she's fine. An I'm going
to work as soon as l can get a job,
and help along. Pop works every day,
but times are hard and he don't make
what he used to when Nom was with
us. It's tough luck, eh? But wait'll
start working. Well get along,
pal"
"Must have been hungry once in a
while" suggested the reporter.
Sure" said Frank "But we got
along all right, didn't we? An We'll
get along all right after this, too"
Whereupon the little philosopher
trotted off to quiet the 5-month-old
baby crying in the other room.
They have only three rooms, these
children and this father, and there
are no pictures on the walls and no
carpet on the floors-just few
couches and rude table and chairs.
But everything is clean as a new pin
in the house of sorrow.

Thaw, waiting in the White
Plains jail, received the news with
an outward calmness which APP
peared more forced than real.
The members of his family and
his attorneys seemed stung by the
thoroughness of their defeat.
Thaw declined to give out any
statement, contenting himself with
the assertion that he was not dis
heartened and would at once con-
tinue his fight for liberty.
"My next effort,'' he said, "will
be centered upon the court of ap-

secure a hearing before jury in

Two thousand names were |

L WI IuOuSduu names were
drawn today for the Flathead
Indian reservation and Joseph Furry
of Warsaw, Ind, was the winner of
the lucky number one. A crowd of
500 people assembled to hear the
names of the winners and throughout
the day there was about the same
number around the drawing stand,
many coming and going The weather
was cool and the sky overcast at the
beginning but it soon became ex-
tremely hot Judge Witten, superin-
tendent of the opening, made brief
address at the outset explanatory of
the method to be pursued in the draw
ing of names, his speech being vir-
ing of the Occur d'Alene drawing on
Monday.
The 1888 applications, each in a
buff envelope, had been dumped upon
the platform and ]. G. Witten an
nounced that 1000 would be drawn
today, 1000 to $500 tomorrow and
the rest on Saturday. The first en-
yelope was picked up by Little Miss
Donlan at 10:30 a. m. and the an
nouncement of the name of the win
ner was greeted with cheer.
A striking oath was found in the
application of Miranda Dickey of Pull
man, Wash, who received an excel
lent claim and who swore that she
was 85 years cd, weighed just twenty
pounds and put Goliath to shame by
measuring SO fee 125 inches in
height. Judge Witten allowed it.
When the name of N. d. McPhee of
Coeur d'Alene was announced as win
ner of No. 1874, young lady in the
crowd gave a hysterical shout and
made a wild dash to carry the news
to father. The first woman to win
was Elanore Mcclellan of Missoula,
Mont, who stated in her application
that she was 70 years old.
