gardlng Dr. Dritton d. Evans he says:
''Ho experienced great difficulty In
reconcilinc his present opinion with
his previous attitude IN connection
with the homicide trials and. to my
mind. did not entirely succeed In SO
doing"
Thaw evidently made bed impress
sion upon the Judge by his actions
both on and off the witness stand.

cially during the last afternoon of his
testimony, when for twenty minutes
he spoke IN justification of ~his ex-

The court. Ia conclusion, expresses
hts sympathy with the distress OF
Thaw's mother, but declares that. in
his opinion, her criticism of District
Attorney Jerome is unwarranted.

White Plains. N Y, Aug. 13.-The
state of New York won complete
victory over Harry K Thaw when JUS
tico Isaac Y. Mills decided that the
slayer of Stanford White is still in
sane and sent him back to the Grim
inal insane asylum at Matteawan. Not
one of the many contentious made by
Thaw during the three weeks OF his
recent hearing were sustained. He Is.
however, somewhat better off than be-
fore he brought the present suit. be-

suggests-and the suggestion amounts
practically to an order-that Thaw at

The following persons visited

While visiting schools recently,
we inquired of the teachers
whether the directors and pat
rons had visited their schools,
and we are sorry to say that the
teachers had very few to show on
their visitors list and some had
no list at all. One teacher said
that she had tried hard to have
directors in the district to visit
the school, but so far they had
not been to school. Directors
and patrons have interest in the
schools and why not encourage
your teachers by paying them a
visit? If you go in the right
spirit, you will do your school
good. Do not 90 for profession
