a Practical Woman.

She was fairhaired lady, an &C
tress by profession, and dainty withal.
Her head was covered by a concoction
in keeping With her general makeup,
Briefly the headgear consisted Of a
howl-like foundation. from which pro.
truded plumes mounted on slender
wires.
She sauntered into theater, armed
with a free pass, and took her seat IN
the pit to witness the great piece,

AS she viewed the stage she felt

THE WHITING or WILLS.


The rule that man who acts as
his own lawyer has fool for a client
appears with special force o persons
who insist upon writing their own
wills. 1t has proved true In the case
of many highly Intelligent persons,
including some lawyers of great re.
pute.
An instance in which the element
OF intelligence seems to have been
lacking has arisen in Lehigh county.
Pennsylvania, Thomas Remaly, who
died month ago, left viii written
by himself which cuts off his five
children by his first wife and gives
his estate, valued at some 100000 to
his second wife and her SIX children.
With respect to the children by his
first wife, the will reads: These
children shall not receive 10 part Of
my estate whatsoever"
Doubtless Mr.. Remaly meant that
these children should have no share
in his estate; but whether the court
viii take that view Of the matter re,
mains to be seen. The law abhors
the double negative as nature does a
vacuum,

to wit: THAT no one shall make mince

the trumpet, drum, and jew's-harp" AS
a means of Notifying the flesh ami
throwing q damper on the joys of the
world this prohibition Of mince pies
was ever regarded as more effective
than placing the aforementioned mu-
steal instruments in unskilled hands
1t afforded almost as much quiet
pleasure to the early New England
conscience as refusing food and lodg-
ing ITO Quakers and other here
ties"
When the reaction set In it follow
ed the pendulous law of reforms and
swung just as far the other way.

became the very touchstone of good

and the raisins first. and then, as q
sort Of afterthought, made casual men.

a case in which the lawyer was in

to be a lieutenant serying on a cub

Of the submarine on when the lieu
tenant was stationed, down went the
submarine below the waves, and the
process server, not being q good diver,
dared not follow It.
The judge looked Up the law,
which specifically states thar when q

was not possible to make an order for

do was to wait until the submarine
came to the surface and the lieutenant
could be caught unaNare and serVel
with the summons TO appear In court.
The lawyer said he would thy that,
but he had his doubts whether his
process server would ever succeed
as long as the submarine was In good
working order and the lieutenant re.

Seneca and Onondaga Will Be
Present at Meeting of Inter-

The Revenue cutters Senaca and
Onondago were today ordered to Phila-
delphia to participate in the celebration
of the meeting there of the convention
Of International Navigation Congresses
which will open May 2S
A request for the presence of these
two vessels at the meeting Of the great
navigation experts of the-world, was
made by President J. Hampton Moore,
of the American Congress nd the con-
vention committee.
The Senaca is known In all European
shipping centers, probably better than
she is In the United States, because OF
her peculiar work. She was built for
the especial work Of destroying derelict
ships and other menaces to navigation,
and the foreign experts were anxious
for an opportunity to inspect the ves-
sci. They are also interested in the
Onogdngaa, which became known
throughout Europe for the rescue and
life-saving work accomplished in the
gales of last winter off the Chesapeake
capCs and of Hatteras.
Capt. p. H. Ubberroth, in charge OF
poerations and personnel of the service,

NEW YORK, May 2.-The market this
morning was firm and strong, with
trading largely confined to specialties.
Generally speaking the impression was
that liquidation for profits had largely
ceased, and the prices under the strong
support of the bulls were due for
rise. The opening quotations and the
early trading semed to justify this view
but fluctuations were rather rapid and
in wider range than usual, showing
an unsteadiness which did not argue
well for permanent rise.
Canadian Pacific, under the influence
OF the London market, opened three
points higher than yesterdays close at
2o6h, but the advance was too strong
to last under the immediate sales fol

THAW ASKS REPORT
ON HIS CONDITION
Attorney Calls Attention to Alleged
Blasphemous Opinions of One
of Alienists at Trial.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, May a.
Clarence ]. Shearn, counsel for Harry
Kendall Thaw, today appeared be-
fore Justice Keogh in the supreme
court and asked for an order requir-
ing the superintendent of the Mattea-
wan State Insane Asylum to frame
and submit to a jury the issue as to
whether Thaw Is now sane. Thaw
was not In court.
In presenting his application for a
jury, M. Stearn made the charge that
DR.. William Hirsch, one Of the three
alienists upon whose testimony Thaw
Is confined, had declared that Moses,
Jacob, and some of the apostles were
afflicted with paranoia. ..
The sole issue to be heard, said Mr..
Stearn, was whether Thaw had par
anoia. and he cited what he called
the blasphemous opinion of the ex-
pert, published in book form, in May,
1911, as leading reason why jury
should be named to try the issue of
fact.
