THAW WILL LIVE UNLESS HE
HAS TAKEN POISON

Philadelphia, JAM II. - Harry K.
Thaw will live, despite his attempt to
end his life by cutting his throat and
wrists yesterday, provided he did not
swallow any of the deadly poison
tablets, discovered to be missing
from bottle found in his pocket.
Thaw's physician said today that
If any of the poison had been swaI-
lowed death would be certain. Every
preventive to counteract the action
of the poison, if Thaw did take any,
which physicians seem to fear, is be-
ing employed.
Thaw. had revived somewhat this
morning from the stupor in which he
fingered throughout yesterday. He
could not talk but further efforts will
be made by the police to get state
ment from him sometime today.

BOY SAYS THAW BEAT HIM
UNTIL HE KISSED HIS TOE

Kansas City, No., Jan. 12.-Fred-
erick Gump, 19-year-old Kansas City
boy upon whose charges Harry X
Thaw was indicted, has been reduced
from a strong, athletic young man
to a mental and physical wreck, "be-
cause of his terrible experience with
Thaw," according to DR.. w. F. Kuhn.
Thaw, armed with two whips, one
of which was knotted, dashed him
for more than an hour, the boy, said,
while he fought with him. Finally,
weak and exhausted, the boy says he
fell to the floor and pleaded for
mercy.
Not until then did Thaw relent. He
made the boy, according to Gump's
story, kneel on the floor and kiss
Thaw's toes, hands, cheeks and lips,
forcing him to repeat after him: 81
am your slave for four years. You
are my master. 1 will obey your or
ders. At breakfast, Thaw, with the
menacing whips always at hand,
forced the lad to kneel by his side
while he fed him with his hands.
After each mouthful the boy was
made to say: Thank you, MASTER.

Jersey City, N. j., Jan. 12.-Inter-
mittent explosions, caused by burst
ing of stray shells, could still be heard
early today in wTeckage Of plant of
Canadian Car and Foundry Co., de-,
stroyed late yesterday with loss esz
timated at between 100000 and
$5,00O,000.
Stored in two concrete buildings,
as yet unchanged, are tons of pri-
nytrotuluol-the most powerful of
explosives-used in making high
power shells.
Scores of employees who were in
the plant when the fire started were
still being placed in hospitals today.
They were suffering mostly from ex-
posture, In the wild panic which fol-
lowed the first burst of flames ana
the first explosion men began leaping
from the windows Of the plant. They
fell into the river along which the
sheds were built, After struggling
in the icy waters they then fed
across the frozen marshes.

The public generally is glad to see
Schuettler get the place. Hundreds
of boost stories have put-Schuettler
before the people as a fierce fighter
of crime. His record in the Haymar-
ket riot, in which he was made a
hero, in strike situations and big
crime mysteries, where he has al
ways gotten the break Of the news,
gives him a good send-off with the
people Of the city.
And the strength of his friends
outside the department will enable
him to run the Office without inter
ference from petty Thompson lieu
tenants who want little favors Of the
kind that is credited with putting
Healey off the job.
SchuettleT's first official act was
to make a newspaper statement, con-
demning the parole law. He says he
wants regular criminals sent to
prison, where they belong. Most Of
the city's crime is committed by old
timers who are paroled They be-
long in prison, he complains.

Of black cambria, which they wore in
connection with the glazed caps COM
monty worn at the time.
Colonel George p. Bissell, who was
marshal, noticed the uniform, put the
wearers in front, where the novelty
Of the rig and its double advantage
Of utility and show attracted. 1t was
proposed at once to form a campaign
club of fifty torch bearers, with glazed
caps and oilcloth capes instead of cam
bric. A meeting to organize formally
was appointed March 6, but before the
new uniforms were ready Abraham
Lincoln addressed a meeting in Hart
ford on the evening of March 5. After
his speech the cap wearers of the pre-
vious meeting. with a number of 9TH
ers who had secured their uniforms,
escorted Mr.. Lincoln to the hotel.
The club was definitely organized on
the following night. Just one year
thereafter this club attended the In
auguration of Lincoln in a body. The
Wide Awakes were organized by both
political parties in later campaigns.

Apple Butter.

Boil down sweet cider until 1t is
thick and sirupy. Pare and core good
cooking apples. Quarter and cook in
boiled cider until soft. Mash with po-
tato masher and then add a cupful of
sugar and two cupfuls of boiled cider
to each half gallon of apple pulp. Sea-
son with ground cinnamon, cloves, all
spice and grated nutmeg (half a tea
spoonful to each quart makes a spicy
butter). Cook until the mixture thick
ems like marmalade, stirring to keep
from burning. A wooden paddle is ex-
to use In stirring. This kind of
apple butter will keep in crooks all
through the winter. Where cider can
not be had, cook the apples until ten
der and proceed as above, only you
will have to use a good deal more
sugar. One-third sugar is the usual
proportion. This apple butter should
be sealed in hot sterilized jars to in
sure keeping.

DIR. Grenyille NJ. Weeks of Newark,
N. j., who was wounded on the Moni-
tor, went to Washington to apply for
appointment on the medical staff Of
the army. Secretary Stanton gave him
no encouragement.
DR.. Weeks heard that President Lin
coin was holding a reception and
crossed over to the White House to
pay his respects. AS he was about to
enter the room where Lincoln was
standing an officer gruffiy told him to
fall In at the end of the line.
Lincoln overheard the order. He re-
called DR.. Weeks and, turning to the
officer, said:
thereafter, whether the caller is an
officer or private, major, be a gentle
man." separating the syllables of the
last word and, emphasizing the first

Then, turning to DR.. Weeks, the

Lincoln "Wide
AWakes" OF s

~ NE of the peculiar introductions
into the first Lincoln political
~ campaign was the Wide Awake
marching clubs, which, 1t has
been claimed, went very far toward
winning for him the election. These
political marching bodies met with so
much success that the custom was con-
tinued for more than a score of years
thereafter, says the Philadelphia Press.
The uniform of the Wide Awakes
consisted of a cap and a large cape of
enameled cloth, and each one carried a
torch. The capes were of a variety of
colors, and naturally a procession of
Wide Awakes was picturesque and
striking. Many of the clubs had wide
Awakes' stamped upon the capes as
well as other insignia. The torch was
a small tin fount with a burner and
wick for kerosene fastened to a stick
about the size and length of a broom
stick. Toward the end of this cam
paign a few companies came out with
a swing torch.
The Wide Awakes were carefully
drilled by their captains, ans many of
them on parades would go through in
tricate evolutions. These clubs were
organized all over the country, and if
an outlying town or village had a pro-
cesslon or flag raising the clubs of the
vicinity We're supposed to turn out and
frequently marched several miles In
doing so. 1t has been estimated that
there were more than 100000 voters
In duly organized Wide Awake clubs.
Some historians have made the as
sertion that it was the Wide Awakes
that elected Lincoln, and this is prob
ably not very far from the truth. The
movement seemed to be a spontaneous
outburst of the people from one end of
the north to the other. Every town,
village and city had its company Of
Wide Awakes. marching, drilling and
m~aneuyering.
The Wide Awakes organization grew
out of the first campaign meet
ing in Hartford, Conn.,, on Feb. %,
1S60-the state election campaign.
Hon. Cassius M. Clay was the speak
er, and after the meeting was escorted
to the Allyn House by a torchlight
parade. Two of the young men who
were to carry torches-D. G. Francis
and II. P. Blair being dry goods
clerks, in order to protect their cloth

Upon the Recommendation of DR..
Leonard N. Case, acting territorial
veterinarian, the board of agriculture
and forestry this afternoon voted to
lift the quarantine from the T. F.
Farm herd at its isolated corral in the
beach and to notify the owner that he
may take the animals back.
Mr. Farm, who was at the meeting,
stated that he will probably hold an
auction sale on Saturday~to dispose
of the herd. The board will pay the
expenses of feeding until Monday,
however, if the cattle and horses re-
main at the corral. 1t was felt that
this is only fair to the owner who has
no land to which his animals may be
returned. Saturday, September Is,
was placed as the latest date on which
they may be removed.
Mr.. Farm and his attorney, Wade
Warren Thayer, expressed satisfaction
with this decision. 1t was stated at
the meeting that the anthrax epidemic
is believed to be successfully stamped
