I AROLD GOODWIN was quite sure that there
not another little boy in the whole world who was
as happy as he. He lived in big, old-fashoned
house, whose large pillars reaching up the peaked
roof, trunks of tall trees brought from Nor
and every spring were given fresh coat Of clean
white paint
Harold was the next to the youngest of large family
and the only boy Although at times he thought it
disadvantage to have SO many sisters especially when
they all agreed that his face was dirty and his clothes
also yet he loved them all dearly that he did not see
how any boy could be happy with one sister less The

lessons and walked in the way he should go And there
was baby Edith the youngest of all Then there was
Henrietta called Hetty for short who never forgot to
make special little pies and tarts for him on the semi
weekly baking day. But Harod's fayorite-his chum,
as he called her-was Bess, who although ten years
older was ustas much interested in everything in which
he delighted as if she we're boy herself
Bess had some fine chickens which were her special
care and pride They gave her many anxious moments,
however for having the large farm about which to wan

hatched their young in ou-oftheway places Bess had
agreed to give Harold from every dozen eggs or
chick from every nest that he discovered
One spring Bess was given twelve beautiful white
eggs which promised as many beautiful chickens She
made comfortable nest for noisy old hen which had
been cucng and scratching in obrusive manner for
some time, and she and Harold watched the weeks go
by until one day they found eleven brand-new chicks all

it to be hardly fair he had found something that
never lost However as he much disappointed,

To keep them warm she brings;

OF Girls---New Chapter in History of Young
Man Is Unfoded in Court

White Plains, N, Y, July 27.-Harry
K.*Thaw sat in the supreme court to-
day and heard woman's testimony
that amade his pallid face flush He
saw a pearl handled dog whip ex-
hibited and'he heard the witness swear
she had seen him weld it on the bare
flesh Of girls. The prisoners wife
heard the testimony, which was of
such q nature that Justice Mills pre-
ceded it's presentation With the warm
ing that no woman should stay in
the court room unless she is willing
to hear everything. Two girls left.
The witness was Mrs. Susan Merrill,
a buxom woman OF about 81 years,
and she opened a new chapter in the
life of Standard Whites slayer She
told of alleged acts of his between 1902
and 1905, when he was a bachelor
about New York before the tragedy
on the Madison Square roof garden
that resulted in his being placed in the
state asylum for the criminal in
sane from which he is now trying to
escape by proving himself lane. Her
testimony was in marked contrast to
that of two alienists who gave Thaw
clean bill of health, declaring that
in their opinion he was sane. She tes-
titled that during the three years
named she kept in succession two New.
York lodging houses, where ThaW
rented rooms under as assumed name,
and to which he brought at various
times more than 200 girls. After
ThaWs Imprisonment she said she
paid these women at least $25, 600 as
the price of their silence and to keep
them from bothering ThaW's wife or
his mother One of them who she
said passed as Thaws wife, received
$1,000 The money came from Thaw.

wrapped and pearl handled whip
about three feet long was brought into
view. With this before the eyes Of
the court and spectators the woman
related series OF stories about find
ing ThaW on several occasions lashing
the girls upon their bare arms and
bodies. ThaW, she said, had posed as
theatrical agent and had 1ured the
girls to his rooms With promises of
engagements. When she demonstrated
with him, She testified, his excuse
was that the girls were not smart
enough and could not fill their pesi-
tons and deserved a beating"
She testified further that Thaw had
frequently behaved violently and that
she considered his acts irrational Mrs.
Merrill's testimony was stopped when
Mr.. jerome intImated that it might in
jure innocent persons Under cross
examination by Charles Morsehauser,
counsel for ThaW, the witness was at
tackled fiercely He brought out the
fact that she had been recently ar
rested on charge of perjury after
an unsuccessful suit to recover 100000
damages from a man.
The woman emphatically denied that
she kept any of the money that
passed from Thaw through her hands.
Then why did you stand for all
this from Mr.. Thaw?" asked Mr.. Nor
schauser.
"oh, / felt sorry for him. was her
ansWe.,
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw appeared dur
ing the proceedings today. but did
not testify. She smiled at ThaW sev-
eral times, but he paid no attention
to her Aside from Mrs. MerrIls tes-
timony, the alienists took up the re-
mander of the proceedings and testi-
fled in ThaWs behalf.

LOWER HOUSE SUCCESSFUL IN
FIGHT FOR CHANGES
IN DUTY. -" ...
An, INCREASE ON HOSIERY. '.
Information Is Secured to Effect That
an Agreement Has Been Reached as
a Result of the Houses Surrender
Of Its Position Regarding Lumber,
Coal, Iron Ore and Paper

Washingtos, July 27.-From The best
information obtainable tonight it app
pears that tho house has won it's bat
tie for free hides and oil and increased
rates on gloves and hosiery in return
for surrender to the senate lum-
Der, COAL iron ore and print paper.
The rates on these schedules, asten-
tatively arranged, pending the accept
tlnce by both houses of the program
for reduction in the duties on
manufactures OF leather below the
rates fixed by the house, follows:
Oil, free; hides, free; COAL As cents
a ton; print paper, $3.50 ton; iron
ore, Is cents a ton.
Lumber, rough, $l.50 per 1000 feet;
one side finished, So; two sides fin
ished, $2.25; three sides finished, which
may include tongueing and growing,
$262h; four sides finished, &c.
Gloves, 81 per dozen pairs, not ex-
ceeding ID inches in length, which is
the standard length. Exceeding IA in
ches. IS cents per dozen is added for
each inch. This rate does not apply
to the Schmaschen, or cheap gloves
on which the senate rate of $l.25 per
dozen pairs III retained. Tho latter
rate isa reduction from the Dingley
rates, but the house rates accepted on
the higher grades of gloves represent
heavy increases over existing duties.
Hosiery Higher.
Hosiery valued at ST or less per doz-
en- pairs, 10 cents as against the sen
a+a ,,1 ic+i vat cF tc
X Although new oaths OF secrecy We're
taken by every member Of the confer
ence before the sessions adjourned
1t is well understood that the fore
going rates represent the understand
ing reached on all of the subjects
which engaged executive attention.
The senate's chief victory was the
retention of it's duties on lumber.
These represent reductions from Ding
ley rates, but are not nearly as low
as the house rates, which began with
81 on rough lumber. Likewise, a vic
tory was won by the senate through
the acceptance by the conference com
mittee of a rate of $3.50 a ton on print
the house. @
WI ." -.
The placing of oil upon the free list
was a foregone conclusion by reason
of the strong opposition in both
branches of congress to making this
article dutiable. There seems no
doubt that the house leaders will be
able to put through a rule permitting
tho conferees to make reductions in
the rates on manufactures Of leather.
IT there is any danger of the pro-
gram failing, the trouble is in the SEN
ate. Senator Aldrich talked with

day and some stlll oppose 1fee hlaes
