Tho Bride Fell Down.

Sadly funny was little drama at
recent swell wedding The bride"
whispers a woman who attended. was
costumed after the approved direc'
toire fashion, which calls for corsets
down to the knees. a collar up to the
eyebrows, and tight sleeves that pin
ion the arms to ones side. She could
not manage her long skirt and she fell
Fat as she tried 10 reach the cbancel,
:ier father. who was giving her away,
was unprepared for the fall and was
dragged down by his white satin and
lace daughter" This looks bad, not
for the bride. but for the costume.
The directoire woman simply can't sit
down, and when she walks she is In
danger OF performing that clumsy and
sometimes dangerous feat known as
falling all over yourself"

THAW TO Be GIVEN
TRIAL FOR HIS
SANITY
CASE WILL BE HEARD BY A NEW
YORK CITY JUDGE.
His Mother Petitioned For Trial by
Jury, But Justice Tompkins De-
MED That Part Of Request.

Nyack, n Y, Jan 16,--Harry K,
Thaw will be given trial in New
York City TO determine whether he is
zane or insane. An order TO that eli
feet was issued today by Justice a. s.
Tompkins, to whom an appeal, asking
fer trial, was made by Mrs. VIM.
Thaw, Harry's mother.
Under Justice Tompkins' direction
Thaw will not be given a trial by
Jury, Mrs. Thaws petition requested
such a hearing, but as Justice NILS
had already refused 10 grant a SINH
lar request, Justice Tomplins denied
that portion of the petition and order
cd that the case be heard before a
court or Judge of New York City. with
or without the assistance of a refe-
rec, as the trial judge may decide.
The questions presented to Justice
Tompkins for his decision include the
validity OF the commitment the pres
ent mental condition of the prisoner,
and whether 1t is now safe for him
10 be at large. Justice Tompkins de-
cided that he will not consider the
question OF validity. as that has al
ready been passed upon adversely by
Justices Morschauser and Mills, and
is now on appeal TO the appellate di-
vision.
The question of Thaw's present san
ity. Justice Tompkins says, is en-
titled to be fairly tried and determin-
ed.

HAS A
CLEAR CASE CT
GR AT I
CITY DID NOT ACCEPT THE LOW.
EST BID FOR REPAIRS.
The City is Out Se6,501 and the Law
Department Offers No Hope
Of Help.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Commissioner OF
Public Works Hanberg has discov-
cred that, within the year, the city
las paid, or contracted to pay $315.
Ill for street repair work. whereas,
IL It had accepted another bid the
total cost would have been S2l8.610.
What makes it worse for the COM
missioner's feelings is that most OF
the money comes out of the wheel tax
receipts, with which Mayor Busse de-
sired to make the best showing pos
sible.
Such state of affairs is result OF
probably the oldest trick known 10
street paving work. 1t was so trans
parent in this case that 1t would seem
that the bid of the winning contractor
would, on Its face. have been a dan.
ger signal to every one concerned. But
the bid went through and the city IS
cut s96.501 as a consequence. More
over, the law department can offer the
commissioner no hope OF help. The
trick consisted in a composite bid, of
Kidding low on one item and high on
another. so as to make the average
lower than that Of competitors. But
the low bid is one on which little
work is done, and the high bid Is for
work on which a great deal Is done,
with the result that when the bills
come in, the supposed low bidder re-
celves far more money than would
have to be paid in case the bids had
been divided and the contract award
ed the low man in each class. The
trick has been worked more than once
n the city hall and the courts have
held that as long as the work was done
the city must pay according TO the
terms OF its contract.

IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCURATELY

Messina Jan. 16.-An estimate of
the dead in Messina, as a result of the
catastrophe OF December 2S, made by
Stuart K Lupton. the American vice
consul, on benalf of the American om-
bassy at Rome. places the number at
10000. Mr.. Lupton estimates also
that there arc today still 10000 people
in the city. The work of getting infor-

were in Messlna al the time of the

there undoubtedly still are tens of
thousands under the rains and other
tens of thousands have scattered them
