White Plains, N. Y, Aug. 9.-In a

hold him sane or declare him a luna
tic. The hearing in the supreme court
in the habeas corpus proceedings
against the state Of New York, ended
when his attorney, Charles Morschau-

and daughter-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Jo-

movements after that will be governed
largely by Justice Mills decision.
Thaw's mother and his brother and
sister have not missed a day in court
since the hearing began and Mrs.
Thaw's statements show that if this
case goes against her son she will lose
no time in trying to free him by other
means.
While habeas corpus actions like
the one just closed are open to Thaw
Indefinitely, it is likely that if Justice
Mills rules against him he will hang
his next upon the state court of ap-

KILLS WIFE, DAUGHTER, SELF.
Barron, Wis, Farmer Commits Afro
clous Crime.

clous Crlrne.
Barron, Wis, Aug. 9.-When the
older children of Christ Hanson en-
tered their farm home near Cameron,
on returning from picking berries in
the field, they stumbled in the dark
over the dead body Of their mother.
On lighting a lamp it was found that
the woman's throat had been cut from
ear to ear.
In horror the children ran from the
house and walked to Cameron, two
miles distant, for help. The village
marshal and a doctor returned to the
farm house with them.
Besides the body of Mrs. Hanson,
the corpse Of a 6-year-old daughter
was found in a manger in the barn,
with the head nearly severed. In the
hayloft Hanson's remains were found,
also with the throat cut.
No motive for the crimes Is known,
but Hanson has been regarded as men
tally unbalanced for some time, II not
actually insane. Recently he sold a
fine large barn lear Barron for less
than half it's value and has otherwise
acted strangely. He was in good fin
ancial circumstances and owned two
farms in Barron county and n in the
state of Iowa.

particularly temperate. Mrs. Mary c..
Thaw's personal attacks on him were
passed without mention, and of Thaw
himself Mr.. Jerome spoke plying as
"Thaw, poor boy"
Only two witnesses among several
hundred that testified for Thaw at his
trials and hearings were picked out
by Jerome for rebuke. These were
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and DR.. Britton
D. Evans, Thaw's chief %alienist. With
out raising his voice, but in the frank
est language, the district attorney said
that in his belief Thaw's pretty wife
had deliberately and willfully falsi-
led" His attack on DR.. Evans after
their skirmish Friday was mild.
Evelyn Thaw came in for condemna-
ton from both attorneys. Mr.. Nor
schauser said that the reluctance she
expressed to testify Of Thaw's alleged
threat to shoot her was all assumed.
He said that on the night before she
testified she had consulted with DR..
Austin Flint, in Mr.. Jerome's Office
and had formed a combination with
the alienist against her husband.
The district attorneys summary
lasted an hour and t%hirty-five minutes.
Mr.. Morschauser talked for two hours
and fifty minutes. Mrs. Thaw EN-.
phasized her opinion Of Mr.. Jerome
and his efforts by reading a magazine
straight through his argument. When
her sons attorney began she laid the
pamphlet aside and listened intently.
She and her SOL whispered together
and twice Thaw wrote notes apparent
ly at her dictatdon and passed them to
his lawyer.
There was some talk of taking Thaw
back to Matteawan, but Justice Mills
allowed him to remain in the local Jail
until his application is decided.

Drink Causes Insanity

Dr. Forbes Winsow one of the greatest Englisl
physicians and authorities the subject of insanity
says
cat the present day, when an indulgence in alco-
ho poison is exerng it's sad but dreadful effects
humanity when our lunacy statistics show that the
increase Of insanity is really due to increase in
this vice, it behooves to consider briefly the
question. The recent publication of the London
asylums' committee s annual report shows that in
one large asylum the medical superintendent states
that out Of nine hundred and ffty-eight inmates
ceived two hundred and seventeen Of these admis-
sions were due to 'ntemperance in drink
"Onefourth of the insanity, then, is attributed
to vice which is, to speak, selfnfiicted. These
statistics also compare well with those issued by the
unacy commissioners, and on taking an average for
the last five years, drink averages 2O.9
per cent Of the admissions.
t'When we take into consideration the fact that
there is disease whose germs are handed down to
posterty to greater extent than this, shudder
to think what the condition of the descendants of
these alcoholic degenerates must be. 1t is law OF
vital physiology that, as like begets like, so do
drunken parents often transfer their brutaizlng
habits to their unhappy offspring who, if they do
not actually follow in the wake of their parents
exhibit some form of moral and mental oblquity or
a nervous disorder clearly raceable to deteriora
ton of physical structure all probability seated
in the brain-caused by long and persistent indu
gence in the Of intoxicating liquors. What Bur
ton said years ago remains true at the present day.
that If drunken man gets a child, it will never
likely have good brain

by his statistics that, out Of three hundred idiots
whose history could be traced one hundred and

Helped Christmas Trade
Says the Tampico Tornado:

Says the Tampico Tornado:
''Tampico merchants without any exception report
that the trade that they have enjoyed during the
past year, and especially preceding Christmas, was
the best it has been for years.
Cali of the merchants state that there has been
more business than ever done during the past year,
the people have bought better goods and have paid
mostly in cash. which surely would indicate good
prosperous condition in and about Tampico.
''Those who predicted that the closing Of the sa-
looms here would nave marked tendency to hurt
business have evidently been mistaken because Tam
pico has never been more prosperous"

LANGUAGE OF TIE EYEBROWS.
German Way Of Determining DISPOSE
tions and Temperaments.

The eyebrows. declares German
character reader, tell us far more
about the true inwardncss of our dis
positions and temparamcn:s than all
the rest Of the body. Study the eye
brow formation Of your friends and
you will find that where the indica-
lions are similar like personal char
acteristics will declare themselves.
says the New York World. Thus you
VIII discover that the highly arched
eyebrow denotes a sensitive tempera-
ment, although, contrary to the gene--
al opinion they do not always adcrn
persons OF superior intelligence. Thin
eyebrows invariably show lack Of
vitality and those of the thick and
Dushy variety indicate the existence
in their possessors of highly vital
lied temperament together with great
powers of bodily endurance In wom-
en- they denote unusual powers Of
bodily and mental stamina.
When the eyebrows meet, says our
German friend, you may be certain
that a sincere character is expressed,
though here it is interesting to re-
>eNAA, thSAuNh'nilyy lndl cNCIy
reader since the days of Aristotle has
declared that such eyebrows indicate,
unquestionably, a peevish disposition.
Long, dropping eyebrows, wide apart
on the forehead, indicate joyous dis
position and general amiability. If
the eyebrows are more light-colored
than the hair Of the head, 4 distinctly
weak vitality is denoted. Lightly
marked eyebrows, which lie high
above the nose, show a disposition
toward Incidence and general weak
ness of character. Dark eyebrows,
which lend so strong and energetic an
expression to the whole face, are i'll
dicative of patience.
Rarely will you find in persons of
sharp intellect eyebrows of a light col
or, although the color does not count
so much as the shape. Red eyebrows
invariably indicate considerable ambi-
ton. The average eyebrow is a COM
oination Of black and red.

FOR THE BREAKFAST TABLE.
Suggestions for Those Who Would Be-
gin the Day Well.

The average American family 10 fast
following in the footsteps Of foreign
cousins and eating light breakfasts
and one hot dish is considered suf-
flcient. The motherly mother and de.
voted wife may find one or two of the
following dishes tempting. Generally
speaking, something with little salty
flavor appeals to mans appetite.
Ffnnan Haddie and Eggs Select a
thick fish and cut into pieces large
enough for single portions. Parboil
the fish for few minutes. Remove
from the Fan, dry with a cloth. Put
the fish on the fine broiler, rub butter
over it and broil until nicely Drowned
Lay on hot platter, brush once more
with butter, squeeze little lemon
juice over 1t and serve with a poached
egg on each square of fish.
Baked Breakfast Dish.-In the bot
tom of baking dish put layer of
cold mashed potatoes left from dinner.
Sprinkle with bits of butter. Over this
place layer of finely chopped ham
and then break several eggs over the
top. Place in moderately quick
oven and bake until done. Grated
cheese may be added on top of the
eggs If cheese is liked. Many prefer it
without the cheese for breakfast and
with the cheese for luncheon.
Bacon in Potatoes.-Select large
potatoes Of even size and cut small
piece off one end so they will stand.
When baked remove the second end
scoop out part of the inside. Fill this
cavity with chopped broiied bacon,
making a little pyramid in each po-
tato. Serve on hot platter and stick
n sprig of parsley In each potato.
