TnAW MUST STAY IN ASYLUM.

Harry X. Thaw must remain in
the State Asylum for the Criminal
Insane at Matteawan, under de-
cision rendered recently by the APP
pellate Division of the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn. Thaw's appli-
cation for a writ of habeas corpus
releasing him from the asylum was
dismissed by a justice of the Su-
preme Court several months ago.
He then appealed to the Appellate
Division, which sustained the low
err court and dismissed the writ.
Thaw's application was based upon
the contention that Justice BOWL
ing's order committing him to the
asylum, after he had been declared
not guilty of the murder OF Stan
ford White was illegal. ,
The court ruled that Justice BOWL
ing acted according to the law and
that when Thaw was able to prove
his sanity he could obtain his re-
lease by writ of habeas corpus.

PATRICK MUST STAY IN PRISON,

Albert f. Patrick's appeal for
liberty or death was denied by the
Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn last week. lie
had asked that court for hearing
on a writ of habeas corpus obtain
ed from an individual justice OF the
Supreme Court, ordering the pros
ecuting officers to show cause why
he should not be released tfom
prison or put to death for the MUIR
der of millionaire William Marsh
Rice.
In support of the writ Patrick
several weeks ago made a personal
plea to the Appellate Division, de-
claring that the Communication OF his
death sentence to that of life i'm
prisonment by governor Higgins
constituted the imposition OF sem
tence worse than death. Patrick
also attacked the legality of his con-
viction on the ground of consplra-
cy.
All the justices of the Appellate
Division concurred to day in dis
missing the writ of habeas corpus.
The court sustained the judgment
of conviction, and the communication
of his sentence, and ordered Pat
rick to be remanded to Sing Sing
prison.
William L. Mcdonald. Patrick's
counsel, said:
"We shall promptly take steps
to bring the case into the
higher courts. We have not an
appeal by right from the Appellate
Division, but that court can grant
US an appeal if so disposed. If
this is not done we shall get writ
of error and carry the case to the
United States Supreme Court"
Twenty-three times has Patrick
made his fight for freedom in the
courts. Seven times has he heard
the Judge pronounce his death SEN
tence, and undismayed, started in
for another legal battle.

and the free offer was made to the
mechanics Of the world that If they
opened the safe the money contained
therein could be taken for their sue

Tom Watson's Epitaph.

From the Jeffersonian, May 81
Commenting editorially upon the
efforts of the Jeffersonian has been
making to arouse the common peo-
pie against the robber trusts, the
Washington Herald says:
"Mr. Watson has long champion
ed the cause of the masses against
the classes. He is close to the
common people, if any man is. His
following is surely made up of con-
sumers. We never heard of a cap
italist who had a very kind word
for Tom Watson; but we never
heard of a pillow hand who had
not"
1t is something to have so lived
and worked as to win the tribute of
that last line. One of these days
the frozen hands will be folded; as
the restless toiler enters the dark
house and the long rest. Those
who love and survive me could not
easily find words for an epitaph
that would please me better than
the generous testimonial of this
brother editor.
The capitalist needs no champion
he is able to take care of him
self; it is the man at the plow-han-
die, the man with the hoe, the man
at the forge, the man with the pick
and shovel, the man in the mine
and quarry, the man feeding the
engine, the man at the throttle, the
man in the mill and the stockyards,
the man, woman aud child that is
"foredone at the wheel of labor"
these are the people of the whirl-
pool who need champions to plead
their case, to fight their battles,
and to do it year in and year out
without much help or encourage
ment from the poor people them

BAD SNAKES IN WEBSTER

The Gauley Record says that
last week while driving along the
road near Addison, Jasper Angus
tine and his son, John, were star
tied by huge snake which sprang
from the roadside and wrapped it
self around the wheel of their bug
gy and stopped the wheels revolu-
ton.
The snake was about five feet
long and had a body very thick and
heavy. The two men were driving
down hill and suddenly the snake
jumped from a little ditch and
coiled itself around the wheel, and
its great strength and weight almost
stopped the buggy. John struck
the reptile several heavy blows
with his whip and the horse pulled
the buggy ahead and with the
snakes ENHANCEMENT in the wheel
and the beating from Johns whip
Its lie was cut snort.
This snake seemd to be new
species that no one around Addison
remembers having seen before two
years ago. However, quite a num-
Der of them have been seen in the
last two years, but as no one has
been bitten by themit is not known
whether their bite is poisonous or
not. They are usually from four
and half to five feet in length and
very thick. They have red head,
green eyes, short legs and web feet
and are great jumpers, usually
springing eight to ten feet.
These reptiles seem to be vicious
and will jump at any person or OBJ
ject. Two years ago one jumped
at Jasper Augustine's son, Ross,
and catching his trousers near the
knee chung there tenaciously and
the boy ran two miles before be was
able to get the snakes hold releas-
ed.

The ordinary course Of such work Is
by the use Of cutting shields proceed

and from the footings Of the shafts.
These shields are to be llkened to

ity keeps the tunnel quite clear of
gases and makes the safest light for
the workers.
In rare cases the rock through which
the tunnel Is bored is strong enough
to support itself. But in most cases
the engineers prefer to line the bore
with brick. as rule, and this lining
is set in place right In the path Of the
cutting shield. After long weeks and
perhaps months Of work the time
comes when the different bores meet
and the tunnel Is single underground
