SCHMIDT HURLS
BEADS At CROWD
As Jury Prepares Collection For
Burial of AumiIIer Girl
Laugh From Spectators Sets
Prisoner in Frenzy.

NEW YORK. Oct. 3.-Just as the
millionaire" jury in the court Of
Coroner Feinberg was finding Hans
schmidt. the renegade priest guilty of
the murder of Anna Aumuller, a Ora
matte incident interrupted the inquest.
Coroner Feinberg appealed to the
jury, which was headed by Theodore
p. Shonts, president of the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit Co, for funds to
bury the dismempered body of Anna
Aumuller to save it from the potters
field Before a member of the jury
could move there came shower OF
currency and silver from the back of
the room. The spectacle caused some
one among the five hundred specta-
tors to laugh.
Schmidt. with a scowl on his face,
sprang from his chair. and tearing a
string of beads and a crucifiX from
his throat, hurled them into the crowd
behind him. In addition to Foreman
Shonts. the other members of the jury
were Vincent Astor, G. G. McDuH,
Marcus Loewe, Mortimer Rosenberg.
Benz. j. Greenhut, Geo. w. Fairch1ld.
Chas Dickery Edwin MarstOn, How
ard Weir. Latham Reid and Halleck
O'Laughlin. Most of the members of
the jury are millionaires, prominent
in the world of finance.
After hearing the evidence 1t took
the jury just 20 minutes to reach a
verdict This was, in effect. that An
ma Aumuller came to her death at
the hands of Hans Schmidt.
The, prisoner, slovenly and unkempt
in appearance, looked coldly into the
jurors eyes but gave 10 show OF
feeling.
AS Schmidt was led back to his cell
men and women in the crowded court
were lighting for the beads TO carry
home as souvenirs.
The sight aroused Schmidt.
Fools. fools" he muttered.
thought they were laughing at me.
AS he was being locked up in his
cell he broke out again:
why all this nonsense? ," he cried
'They know 1 killed my Anna. They
know she died. This is all unneces-

WASHINGTON. oct 3.-The feder-

up the qnuestion of Thaw's sanity.
Solicitor JOS w Folk of the state

1T looks as though Thaw is
making a monkey OF the New York

The state law regarding sentence Of
instantly instead Of sentences of guilt
I'm murder cases is wrongly construed.
The New York law is faulty and
should be changed.
The present plan cOntemplates an
appeal TO the federal court at Boston
III the decision of Gov. Felker in New

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN
THE NEW YEAR.

While wishing every one of you the
best. that the New Year can bring, it
is always d question what that best
may be. 1t is not always the sunshine;
for sometimes too much sunshine is
worse than less would be; it may not
be the clouds and falling rain; for the
supply of these may already be more
than your life can bear. We can not
all be happy; neither is it well to be
always merry, or even joyous. What
might be to one the height of pros
perity might bring to another only
disaster. So, we can think of nothing
better for you than that you may be
among the worlds workers, in one
field or another, busy with hand and
head and heart, in the ministry unto
others that alone brings the "peace
that passeth understandings Joy
that makes of even the shadow bless
edness. Every day, the people of the
world are cropping after the light; try
ing to find the paths that lead TO the
greater heights: many may stumble
and fall, and others may sit down dis
couraged; but few brave, enduring
souls will yet find the door, and shall
open the way for the world that fol-
lows. Light is breaking through the
gloom on all hands-faint, far specks
of radiance in most cases; but every
year we are getting closer to the Liv-
ing Sun, and realizing more and more
that we are "our brothers. keeper"
in more than a material sense. Sc,
dear readers, the best that we can
wish for you is to go on, with strength
to endure, growing nearer and nearer
every hour to the blessed "Well
done"' that will be spoken, and that
you shall hear, if only you shall Cen
dure to the end" Faithful in little
things, day by day becoming conquer
ers over the evils of the world, even
though your feet may falter, and your
mistakes may be mauy, the way shall
be open bye and bye, and you shall
follow the light into the Glory of the
New Day.

HOME AND HAPPINESS

We are not angels, we are only men
and women and we share the imper-
fections of manhood and womanhood.
We are not perfect apples; we are
speckled apples, all of us. We do not
care how deep and sweet and tender
home life, it cannot but happen that
in the close contact in the everyday
openness and disclosure of the home.
our bad points will come out. No fla
mily is made up perfectly of straight
sticks, but crooked ones; and when
they are piled together in the close
ness of home life the crookedness will
appear. The man and woman married
the most utterly, married along the
whole line of their natures must yet
find some point where there is not COM
plete contact. There is dissimilarity
of temper, there has been dissimilarity
of education. Before musicians can
pour forth a perfect harmony they
must bring their instruments into tune.
Before two hearts can perfectly strike
together they must be keyed to the
same note, and that cannot be alto
gether before marriage. The exact
real self does not appear in courtship.
1t is the best robes of manners and
sentiment and self, the self dressed in
the best wardrobes of manners and
sentiment and sacrifices that appears
then. After marriage the self puts on
its common habits and appears for
what it is Then each real self must
adjust itself; then must each bear and
forbear. Then must any incompatible
ity be met and mastered by a mutual
charity which suffereth long and is
kind, which never faleth. Now it is
just here in this closeness and dis
closure of the home that the heart
publication Of the Blessed Spirit is
most needed, and with the sweetness
of enduring patience and love put
under any miserable pride of self as
sertion and kept there. Heavenly
calmness, tenderness and self sacrifice
must dwell in the heart Of each and
then shall home be the counterpart of
Heaven.

You know the grievances that beset
your own path, the shadow that hangs
over your own home, the fears. often
groundless, it is true, of impending
calamities that disturb you, but you
cannot lift the curtain that conceals
your neighbors misfortunes; the door
will not swing back to reveal the
skeleton in their closets; and you can
not realize that every one is loaded as
you are; and every home however,
charming to the outward, has yet
within, trials as severe as your own,
and heart aches that would make
yours seem light in comparison. We
each have our own peculiar troubles
as we have our own countenances and
our own hobbies, and we cannot es-
cape them.
