COURT HOUSE, SHERBROoKB,
Que, Aug. 27.-The most remarkable
demonstration ever witnessed In a
court of justice in Canada took place
here today. Harry X. Thaw, slayer
of Stanford White, was cheered to
the echo as he sat in open court And
the cheers went without rebuke from
the white haired, black garbed Judge,
who had Just granted Thaw the pre-
liminary victory in his fight for lib
erty from the Matteawan asylum.
Thaw was in court SO that his law
yers could have their application for
a writ of habeas corpus dismissed.
Attorneys Of New York headed by
Jerome demanded they be heard. They
insisted the committing magistrate
had erred In his action in sending
Thaw to jail. They suggested that he
might be liable for damages for false
arrest. When Attorney Jacobs, chief
of the New York legal battery, start
ed to explain his point he was curtly
rebuked by the court. you have no
standing here" said the Judge. This
| Is an ex-parte matter and only the
man Thaw and his lawyers can be
heard"

With the word. a young girl. mag
nificently garbed in black, shouted In
a shrill soprano voice: "Hurrah fol
Canada, equal jutice for all" The
effect was electrical. From every sec
ton of the room came roar of sound
which swept out on the street and
was caught up and carried back BY
the crowd there which had been un
able to get into the court room. The
cheering continued for five minutes
while Judge Globensky waited ane

his decision at o'clock whether he
will permit Thaw's attorneys tt

It was impossible to estimate tho
crowd that came to Keokuk yesterday
until the day was over The number
seemed to be growing all the time
From the best information the cele-
bration committee can get 1t Is be-
lieved that an estimate OF $4,000 visr-

there we're about 1900 people who
came on special and regular trains
yesterday, about 1000 people who
came by steamboats, and other river
craft. as many as 1000 automobiles
carrying 5000 people, 1000 horse

At least 5000 people crossed the

BY actual count over $500 peopls

MONTENEGRO MUST
SURRENDER SCUTARI

The new frontier which it is stated
Montenegro has proposed as compen-
sation for the loss of Scutari would
run northwest of Vraka through Kop-
lik to Kaldrum on Lake Scutari
This slip of territory, although very
mountainous, is important to Monte
negro because it affords a natural
road to Ipek, avoiding a great detour.
From Berdica the line would run to
the coast north of San Giovanni de
Medua.
According to the latest news, Aus
tria has not stipulated any time limit
for the evacuation of Scutari. 1t is
reported that Austria has an expedi-
tion of 10000 men completely organ
lied to coerce Montenegro, if neces-
sary.
Serious pro-Montenegr demonstra-
tions occurred among Austrian Slav
subjects on the fall of Scutari at
Prague, Wagram and other cities.
They were suppressed by the police
and all demonstrations have been for
hidden.

AT THE
LAWRENCE MINE

Many readers of the Star-MirrOr will
recall the advertising done by the
Lawrence Mining company of Clarks-
fork, in Bonner county, in this paper
last fall 1t will be interesting, es-
pecially to those who were SO fort
unate as to buy stock, to know what
has developed at this property, pro-
nounced by State Mine Inspector Bell
as something especially good.
The money for 50-ton concentration
was raised before the first of the year,
and the mill is now working steadily
with no stock for sale. The f1ume
and water wheel, when started, will
provide a surplus of 15-horse power.
At present nine men are employed,
but this crew is soon to be increased,
and the work of extending the tunnels
and blocking out ore will be continued
on larger scale. The April payroll
was met from proceeds from the
property, and the stockholders are

Turnbow of Palouse, raised the funds
required to erect the new mill, and
they are feeling happy, not because
the property is making good, and those
who invested will be rewarded, but
because of the many predictions that

Mining men who have inspected the

next big mine in north Idaho. The

score his cattle and horses. He
feasted the boys and declared they
were goin' some This school has
over $500 worth of apparatus in it's
agricultural laboratory.
Another novel idea was the credit
ing by the school of all home effort
efficiently accomplished by the high
school pupils. Increased proficiency
in milking COW, preparing and
serving meal, sewing or mending
ones own clothes, sweeping a room
or office or progress in score of
other household duties is recognized
as education-character building-and
as such raises the school record of
the pupil. In other words, schoolroom
education is regarded as only a part
of a child's education and his rec
ord or report is based on all of his
training.
'Up-to-dateness' expresses the sit
uation in most of these schools Lots
of money is being spent but it is
bringing big returns. Judging from
the enthusiastic reception given the
university visitor a goodly number
of these boys and girls will enroll at
the university in the next few years.

graduating class is planning to be
here next year"

Y. M. c. A. Boys Go TO Troy.

A team of five members of the Uni
versity Y. Nj. c.. A., under the direc-
ton of Professor Steinman, left fol
Troy today to spend three days in an
evangelistic campaign. They will be-
Gin with an entertainment tonight
which will be followed by a series of
religious meetings. The object of the
trip is to make an appeal to the men
and boys of the community for de-
cision for the higher Christian life.
The team consists of Chester Smith,
president of the Y. NJ. c. A; Frank
Osborn, j. Dewitt Davis, George
Isaman, and Paul Wenger. Miss Cert
rude Byrnes accompanies the party
to assist with the music. Mr.. Silvanus
F. Suen will join the team on Sun
dav to lead one of the missionary
meetings.
The team made a similar trip last
Christmas to Juliaetta and secured
very gratifying results, including four
conversions, the organization OF
troop of Boy Scouts, pledges from
score of boys to abstain from liquor
and tobacco, and to lead cleaner lives,
and a general quickening of religious
interest and activity throughout the
community. Even greater success is
anticipated on this trip on account OF
the hearty cooperation of the local
church.
