ThaW In Tears As Counsel Plead
 In His Behalf

Concord, N. H., Sept. 23-Harry Kendall Thaw wept, today, as his counsel pleaded with Gov. Felker not to surrender him to the authorities of New York who were determined to return the fugitive to the Mattea- wan Insane Asylum from which he escaped.
 Travers Jerome, Thaw seemed to fol- low the arguments closely but when his eyes were not blinded by his handkerchief they were fixed intent'y on the face of the special deputy at- torney general of New York as though the head of the opposing counsel was the man to be convinced. By his side sat his mother and broth CT.
 Jerome opened the extradition ar guments by merely saying that the duty of the governor to grant the pe- tition for extradition was plain.
 William M. Chase, of Concord, for mer judge of the superior court, and William A. Stone, of Pittsburgh, for mer governor of Pennsylvania, ar gued for Thaw. They occupied an hour and a half after which an ad- journnent until o'clock was taken.
 This afternoon was given to MT. Jerome to reply. Judge Chase and. Governor Stone declared that the pe- tition for extradition was insufficient essary evidence and that the State of New York, having through it's courts declared Thaw could not request from New Hampshire his extradition for a crime which, by it's nature only a sane man could commit This crime was conspiracy to escape from the Matteawan Insane Asylum

 He was appointed by former Mayor Denis MulvihilI on February 8, 1902. For S27 nights he was night watchman in the old building during the period when the building was being remod- eled. When. the remodeled building was opened MT. Callahan again as sume the duties of night watchman.
 Although his term does not expire until October 1st each year, it was the custom of other mayors to appoint him at the same time that the day watchman was named. Mayor Wilson did not do this and MT.

sTRINeINe EN- on THE CAR
Wife Prepared the Beans on Her Way
Home From the Market 90 - (
i i to Have Supper on Time.

I On an eastbound Euclid car in
Cleveland, O., the other afternoon .
buxom woman took her seat and pro
ceeded to 60 on with her work. She
was oblivious OF the fact that the car
was filling up; she got 4 place to sit
and she proceeded with her knitting.
Only it wasn't exactly what you might
call knitting. She had purchased
some string beans at the market and
on the way homo she was stringfng
them.
It was like this, a. she explained.
From the market to her home it took
rs minutes: She couldn't get homo
till quarter of six. Dinner was at
quarter past six. All right. It takes
a6' minutes to prepare string beans
for the pot and at least ten minutes to
cook 'em. Why buy string beans
downtown and then waste almost half
an hour when you get home? Why
not save time? There's only one an
sWer to that.
Hereafter, when We see, woman
stringing beans or peeling potatoes or
onions on a car, we'll know that some
fortunate man is going to have his
dinner on time and that his wife has
saved him bit of money in spite of
the cars.

often exceeded the profits on those sold.
