Matteawan, n. Y, Aug. 21-Mr5.
Mary Copley Thaw, mother of Harry
K Thaw, today made public a state
ment criticising the treatment &C
corded her son in the Matteawan
state hospital for the criminal in
sane since his return to that institu-
tion by order of Justice Mills. Mrs.
Thaw said not only that the com
forts accorded her son when he was
6rst sent to the asylum were not re-
stored after his recent return, but
that he had been lately denied priv
iIeges he enjoyed for the eighteen
months he was in the asylum. Dr.
Lamb, the superintendent OF the hos
pital, Mrs. Thaw said, when asked
the reason for the discontinuance or
privileges to Thaw, answered that
what had been done for him was not
appreciated.
Mrs. Thaw said "even the privilege
is denied me of giving my son the
whites OF eggs and orange juice pre-
scribed for him by his own and my
physicians, and which heretofore L
have given him each afternoon when
1 made my visit
For the first time in these Is
months they have denied him the
privilege Of playing the piano.
he Is still locked up in the bare
cell, which I described in court, at
o'clock, although other patients,
some of whom do not work, are al
lowed to remain UP till 9 o'clock.
DEPRIVED OF FOOD.
Yesterday my son had nothing
whatever to eat from 6;15 a. N. to
5:45 D. m, because a lawyer came
to see him at the noon dinner hour.
Even the keepers wished TO get him
something to eat, but DR.. Baker gave
special orders that they should give
him nothing during this eleven and a
half hours of starvation. We inquir-
ed of DR.. Lamb the reason for the de-
privations. He answered that what
they had done was not appreciated
much when we went to court To this
Harry replied:
"'Dr. Lamb.yI treated both you and
DR.. Baker much better than you de-
served, as YOU know, when testify
ing. So this must be revenge for
what my mother said DR.. Lamb
made no denial. We asked DR.. Lamb
If he had any further reason except
revenge toward me and the desire 20
enfeeble my sons health so that he
would not be able to testify next
time as he had done when opposed
to Mr.. Jerome at the late hearing.
DR.. Lamb could give no reason for
this infamous conduct"

The Zelaya-Madriz Shuttle.

President Zelaya of Nicaragua has
stepped down and has set MadriZ up in
his place, evidently hoping by this ruse
to escape punishment for his rascal
ity and also to still retain his power
over Nicaragua and her people. No
one believes for a moment that MadriZ
will do anything contrary to Zelaya's
wishes. 1t is generally conceded that
he is but a puppet in the hands of the
most experienced criminal who has
improved his years of power in build
fortune.
1t has been suggested that Zeaya
will now retire to France to live upon
the fortune he has won from the
Nicaraguan people. If he is permit
ted to do this it will be blot upon
civilization. Abdul Hamid, the Turk
ish ruler, had his German bank to
which he rushed the fortunes he
wrung from the people. Castro had
his French bank and men close to
Zelaya say that he was similarly
provident. Abdul Hamid has not been
permitted to profit by his foresight
nor should he be. Castro has been
more fortunate. What of Zelaya?
Whatever information has been per-
mitted to come to light indicates that
Zelaya murdered two American citi-
Zens and as an individual deserves
punishment. He slipped from the
Presidents chair just before it was
kicked from under him by Uncle Sam
The man who takes his place is a part
of the conspiracy which has kept all
Central America in turmoil for
years. There is no reason to believe
that any one of the Zelayan policies
will be dropped. General Estrada now
at the head of the revolutonists will
have nothing to do with him. saving,
Peace in this country can only be as
sured by the complete exclusion of
Zelaya and his followers. We will
continue fighting until this is secured.
In the name of liberty and justice on
our side, We ask you to recognize my
Government"
Americans may well view with fore
boding Zelaya's quick change of front.
1t promises no better conditions in
Nicaragua. Perhaps Estrada would
do no better, but it would seem to be
wisdom to give him chance.

Christmas.

"And there were in the same coun-
try shepherds abiding in the field
keeping watch over their flock by
night.
| "And, TO- the angel of the Lord came
upon them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them: and they
We're sore afraid.
"And the angel said unto them, Fear
not; for, behold, 1 bring you good It'd
ings of great joy, which shall be to
all people.
For unto you is born this day in
the city of David a Savior, which is
Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manager
"And suddenly there was with the
angel multitude of the heavenly
| host praising God, and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men"
Thus does st. Luke tell the beauti-
full story of the manner in which the
tidings of the birth of the Savior were
spread among the people. The mes
sage of the star and of the shepherds
has come down to us through the CEN
turtles unchanged and undimmed. To-
day the whole civilized world has
paused, to spread abroad the doctrine
of peace and good will toward men. A
