Ivory Enamel.

In place of the pure white enamel
some of the new furniture is tinted a
slight cream color, about the shade of
the celluloid articles with the old
ivory finish. AS a rule, this furniture
is not severely plain, the rocco de-
sign giving better opportunity for
bringing out the ivory tones than
would smooth surface.

The viscount put his head under his
hands and wept The count, behind
him, viciously gnawed his mustache,
shrugged his shoulders and frowned.
For him, usually SO cold and correct,
to betray his inner feelings like that,
by outward signs, the count must be
very angry. He was. He had seen
his brother return from a rapid and
mysterious journey in an alarming
state of health. The explanation that
followed was unsatisfactory and the
count asked Christine Daae for an ap-
pointment. She had the audacity to
reply that she could not see either
him or his brother.

Judge Chase, in pleading for Tnaw,
stated thai criminal intent was the
essence of crime Against criminal
intent, insanity was complete
defense. Thaw killed a man, ne said,
but was regarded innocent of the
crime because his act was decided by
a jury to have been that Of an in
sane man. He was thereafter con-
fined in the Matteawan asylum until
the alleged act of conspiracy took
pace.
Which is He?
"The State of New York has no
right to question the findings of its
own court that Thaw was insane.
But it has charged this insane person
with the criminal act of conspiracy,
especially requiring the exercise of
sanity.
."Thaw was in Matteawan not as a
punishment for crime, but as pro-
lection to the public against the acts
of an insane person"
Gov Stone, who followed, dwelt
upon the fact that the request for eX-
tradition was not accompanied by an
indictment. The requisition papers,
he said, did not comply with the re-
quirements of the State.

and adjournment until . o'clock was
taken.
Gov. Stone this afternoon asked
for time to file supplementary briefs
and was granted until Monday. The
hearing was then declared at an end.

Gov. Stone charged that the deputy
attorney general had bounded Thaw
from the night that Stanford White
was murdered.
