This announcement was made today
by Mr.. Beare, who had long confer
ence with his client.
Anhut will. however, deny the bride
story, and will declare that he, though
now counsel for Thaw. never made
such an offer TO DIR. Russell, or to any
one else. His efforts to secure the
freedom of Stamford Whites slayer
were concerned soiely with plan TO
em.toy various Western alienists to

Thaw May BE Heard.
There is a possibility that Thaw.
himself, will be taken before the COM
mission. or that the members of 1t will
go to Matteawan and talk with him
there. Mr.. Beare admitted that he
and Anhut had talked over the pos
sfbility OF asking that Thaw be called
as witness, but he had not reached
a decision.
Anhut has been seriously III. for sew

kept out OF sight to facilitate his re-
covery. and to prepare for giving his
testimony ais soon an possible.
One of thu things that Anhut will

Cambridge. Mass. = Prof. Dallas
Lore Sharp of the department Of Eng
lish at Boston university inclines to
twenty-five years as the ideal age at
which men should marry.
There is nothing particularly Cod
fearing or discreet or reverent about
thirty" said DR.. Sharp. Thirty is the
tfmid age. Forty is the dangerous
age. Twenty is the ageless age, the
silly. milky, tasseled age, when a boy
is still liable to be croupy and to need
castor oil and his mother.
Marriage is not a matrimonial
proposition but family affair, first
and last, and should be entered into at
time best calculated to promote the
increase of bibs about the dining
table.

Grand Junction.-Thc annual meet
ing of the Grand Junction Fruit Grow.
ers' Association will be held here Feb
ruary 90.
Because of the low prices received
for fruit the past year there Is much
discomfort among the ranchers of the
valley, who believe that the method
of selling their fruit should be
changed. In the past the fruit has
been sold through agencies and COM
mission men in the east, often going
through the hands of as many as six
different middlemen before it reaches
the consumer. The finest Grand Val
ley apples are selling for more than

little more than $1.25 is received here.
There are two proposals under con-
sideration. One is union of the
three fruit growers associations oi
the Grand Valley, and the ultimate
combination of all in western Colo
rado. The other is that of employing
travelling statesmen. There is doubt
In the minds of some growers about
the legality of western slope com
bination. Some believe that 1t would
be a monopoly and subject to dissolu.
ton under the Sherman antitrust law.

THROAT GROWN TOGETHER.
Thirteen. Year-old Girl Eats FRS
Time Since Ace Of Two.

Fort Wayne, Ind.-For thirteen
years Katherine Besse of Milstadt, ILL.,,
has been kept alive by pumping food
into her stomach through her side, but
now she is beginning, at the age Of
fifteen years, to eat food, and for the
first time in that period to know how
food tastes.
When she was two years old, at
Milstadt. she drank lye and her throat
was SO badly burned that it adhered
and closed the esophagus.
The girl is now in st. Joseph's hos
pital In this city.
At first, silk threads were given her
to chew, and these threads gradually
worked down through the trachea and
in the course Of few weeks it was
possible to reach the tissues of her
stomach and treat them.
Then the girl was able to begin. to
eat, and the first thing that was given
to her was candy.
