OBSERVATIONS. [By “'Doc. The saddest thing in this world t's better to smile at nothing than to frown at everything. The ear does as much to circu- late scandal as the tongue. He darkens his own way who makes light of the troubles of others. Nothing keeps people faithful: better than your faith in them. No body of religious truth is complete without the religion of the body. The man who is hunting for a martyr’s crown never has head enough to hold one up. eEpe———— LOCATED IN ENGLAND. Kidnapped Delaware Boy Said to Be in Portsmouth. ‘Washingten, March 25.—Third As- sistant Secretary of State Wilson has received a cablegram from the consul at Portsmouth, ng, saying the au- thorities there have a boy who an- swers the description of the kid- napped Marvin boy, for whom a gen- eral search in being made in this country.

Mr. Wilson stated that this government stands ready to co-operate with the state authorities in every way possible in the efforts to ascertain information relating to the kidnap- ning l ENIES DECLARE THAW SANE DELMAS AND ABSOCIATE COUN. SEL FILE AFFIDAVITS IN RE- PLY TO JEROME. INSANITY IN THE FAMILY MRS. WILLIAM THAW GOES AT LENGTH INTO HISTORY OF ANTECEDENTS. New York, Magch 25.—Affidavits of the defense of Harry K. Thaw as to his mental condition and whether or not a commission in lunacy should be appointed to examine him were filed at noon with the clerk of the supreme court. There were eight afidavits, of which that of Delphin M. Delmas, of the Thaw counsel, was first. Mr. Delmas in his affidavit declares it to be his opinion that Thaw has been and is capable of understanding the nature and object of the proceed- ings going on against Lim; of com- prehending his own condition in ref- erence to such proceedings and of conducting his defense in a rational manner and that, during the whole oi the triel, he has understood the nature and oblect of suchproceedings; has EASTER ; Only this week and then the Easter holidays for which most everybody---men, women and children---have new garments of some kind to wear.

'hig opinion, the afiidavit says, is ased upon the professional relations Mr. Delmas has had with the prisoner since the Lvginning of the trial and the many communications he has sent to Thaw and recelved from him. Eighteen letters recefved by Mr. Del- mas from Thaw during the trial and several slips of paper containing sug- gestlons with reference to the conduct of the proceedings actually going on, which were handed him by the de- fendant in the courtroom, are made a part of the afiidavit. Makes Suggestions to Counsel. The letters attached to the afidayits contain nd¥merous suggestions con- cerning the conduct of the case. In one instance Mr. Delmas is requested to personally conduct the examination of all witnesses. In a letter sent dur- ing the examination of Mrs. Thaw the prisoner said: “My wife’s strength is ebbing. She cannot recuperate until after the cross-examination. It will be unfortu- nate if she broke down and her testi- mony was stricken out. Her condi- tlon of mervousness and sadness Is grave. Cannot Dr. Evans be kept back?” Mrs. William Thaw, in her afidavit, denles that in the direct line of de- scent for four generations there has been any taint of insanity or epilepsy |in the family of Harry K. Thaw. She denounces what she terms the “ma- licious misrepresentation and gross exaggeration” on this subject. She goes at great length Into the family history of the Thaws and the Copleys. She denies “the brutal assertion” that Henry W. Copley was “an imbecile from birth.” Two vicious boys fright- ened the lad at six years of age with borrible masks into a state of terror. He was ever after of feeble intellect. All of Thaw’s attorneys make affi- davits in which they declare he is perfectly capable of understanding the nature of the proceedings against him and of advising with counsel. The allenists, Doctors Evans, Wagner, Jelliffe and Hammond, make similar declarations and set forth daily coh- versations they have had with Thaw since his trial started. RESULTS IN THREE DEATHS. Officers Rald Gamblinghouse at Fort Worth, Tex. Fort Worth, Tex., March 25.—Fol- lowing a raid on a gamblinghouse, County Attorney Jeft D. McLean was shot and killed and Hamil P. Scott, a member of the ralding party, fatally wounded by Willlam Thompson, pro- prietor of the resort. Helf an hour later Thompson was surrounded in a lumber yard and cap- tured after a desperate fight in which Thompson received fatal bullet wounds. The series of tragedies was wit- nessed by hundreds, including mem- bers of the legislature here in attend- ance on a stock show. CHARGED WITH ' MURDER. Negro Arrest. Hattiesburg, Miss, *March 25.— Joseph Pettus, president of the Peo- ple’s bank, a negro institution of this city, has been arrested and charged President of Bank Under b2 | with the murder of Edward Howell, the cashier of the bank, who was way- laid and shot to death here on the night of March 19. Pettus and Howell were the only persons who knew the combination to the bank vault. After the murder the vault was opened and several notes Pettus owed the bank and $2,700 in cash was taken out. This led to the arrest of Pettus. Brutally Whipped by Whitecaps. Gallipolis, O., March 26.—Moses Shoemaker, a well known farmer liv- Ing near Kyger, was visited by a mob of whitecaps, who whipped him nearly to death because he was reported to have maltreated his blind son. Shoe- maker begged for mercy and was told he would be killed the next time. His condition is eritical, MAYOR WEDS MANY GOUPLES FORT DODGE (lA.) “MUST MARRY” ORDINANCE HAS WONDER- FUL EFFECT. Fort Dodge, Ia., March 25.—Mayor Bennett is busily engaged performing ‘without fees the marriage ceremonies. of those who desire to escape the penalties of the new Fort Dodge or- dinance aimed at marriageable people who refuse to marry.- Much of his time is also taken up in answering the telegrams and letters of expostula- tlon which he is receiving from bach- elors and spinsters in all parts of the country. The “must marry” ordinance was pasgsed Wednesday night. Thursday, to the utter disgust of the Fort Dodge clergy, Mayor Bennett performed nine- teen marriage ceremonies and Friday fourteen. The Fort Dodge Ministerial associa- tion threatens to pass caustic resolu- tions, alleging that the sacred charac- ter of the marriage relation is being vitiated by such spectacles. English Capital for Filipino Bank. ‘Washington, March 2;—American capitalists have not taken kindly to the plan for an agricultural bank for the Philippines and it now seems likely that the bank will be estab. lished with English capital, as finan- ciers in the United States manifest little interest in the plan for relleving the condition of farmers in the isl- ands. Congressional Party Returns. New York, March -26.—Thirty-nine congressmen, who have made a Visit of inspection to the Panama canal, have arrived here on board the steam- er ‘Panama" from. Colon. The party left New York on their tour of in- spection on March 6 and arrived at Célon on the 12th. They spent five days in the canal zone and during that time examined the work on the canal, Members of the party ex- | pressed themselves as favorably im- Dressed with what they saw. e e ami PEASANTS TAKE TOWNS OF PLACES NEAR THE ROU- MANIAN FRONTIER. TROOPS UNABLE TO REPULSE ATTACK MANY KILLED OR WOUNDED ON BOTH SIDES IN ASSAULT ON MISAILONL. | - 2 4 I Vienna, March 25.—According to a telogram received here from Czerno- witz, on the Roumanian border, Ver- pole and Pudesti have been captured by peasants, who took the places by assault and pillaged and devastated them. The attack on Misailoni, Roumania, continues, the peasants persistently assaulting the town. The troops have thus far been unable to drive back the peasants and many have been killed or wounded on both sides. A letter has reached the Israelite alliance from Poduilaell, Roumania, stating that every Jewish building there has been destroyed and that a great many Jews and their wives and children have been injured. The peas- ants who attacked the place were in- cited by speeches delivered by a teacher belonging to one of the public schools, who urged the expulsion of all Jews from the farms and resl- dences occupied by Jewish tenants. Cacona, Bosia and Paprikani, Rou- mania, are reported to have been com- pletely destroyed by a band of 2,000 peasants. Only buildings where the inhabitants placed crucifixes between lighted candles in the windows were spared. INCITING THE POPULACE. Roumanian Capital Flooded With Rev- olutionary Pamphlets. Bucharest, Roumania, March 25— King Charles has refused to receive in audience a delegation of students from Jassy university, who desired to urge him to support the peasants in the present movement. The delegates, incensed at his majesty’s refusal, is- sued several pamphlets inciting the population to assist the revolted peas- antry. These are now being widely distributed in Bucharest. A deputation of landowners, headed by Prince Ghika, was received in au- dience by King Charles and assured that no efforts would be spared to end the peasant troubles. The king promised to devote his most earnest atlention to restoring order in Mol- davia. He held politics responsible for the whole trouble and said the country was better governed thirty years ago than it was today. The present administration did not answer to the needs of the time. The poli- ticlans, his majesty declared, must forthwith set to work and solve the agrarian and Semitic questions. The king’s assurances have made a good Impression on the publie. WORSE THAN FIRST REPORTED. Devastation Wrought by Peasants Is Widespread. Czernowitz, Austria, March 25.—A merchant who has arrived here from Jassy, Roumania, says that the devas- tation wrought by the peasants is far more widespread than reported. For slx days Jassy has been besieged by thousands of raiders. Every morning the commander of the troops tries in vain to negotiate for a settlement with the besiegers, but the latter will not budge until forced to do so by the arrival of additional troops: The residents of Jassy fear that unless outside regiments are quickly brought in the local soldiers may join the peasants. From Panciu, district of Fokshanu, comes a report that the banks there have been pillaged. Numbers of the Jews fled to Marashostie, but only to be driven out, many of their women and children being obliged to flee half dressed. Spreads to Bessarabla. Kishinev, Russia, March 25.—The agrarlan disorders in Roumania have incited a sympathetic movement on the Bessarablan side of the Pruth. The peasantry are in a ferment every- where and the villagers of Mindger have taken possession of a private estate. A detachment of Cossacks has been sent to Mindger. PEOPLE PANIC BTRICKEN. Severe Earthquake Shock at King- ston, Jamaica. Kingston, Jamaica, March 25.—A se- vere earthquake shock occurred here during the night. The people were panic stricken, but nobody was hurt. A number of walls damaged in the big shock were thrown down. Speaker Cannon and the other American tourists just missed the ex- perience, their ship having salled shortly before the shock occurred. Icemen Must Stand Trial. Cincinnati, March 25.—Judge Brom- well of the superior court has over- ruled the demurrers of the Cincinnati icemen Indicted last summer on a charge of maintaining a conspiracy in restraint of trade und those indicted will be compelled to stand trial under the provisions of the Valentine anti- trust Jaw. STEEL PLANT FOR DULUTH. Plans for Construction Will Soon Be Completed. Pitteburg, March 25.—That the United States Steel corporation will build a $10,000,000 plant at Duluth is confirmed by Judge E. H. Gary, chair- man. of the executive board. The corporation intends to locate the plant at Duluth to be in a better position to fight the Illinois Steel company. The corporation ships a large percentage of its product over tie Great Lakes and thence to Chi- cago, which is & distributing pofnt, d FRIEND TO FRIEND. ‘The personal 7ccommendations of peo- ple who have been cured of coughs and colds by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy have done more than all else to makeita staple article of trade and commerce over a large part of the civilized world. Barker’s Drug Store therefore a plant sich as is proposed would add greatly to its resources. “Officials. of our company,” said Judge Gary, "for some time have fa- vored the erection of another plant. At one of our meetings we took offi- cial action on the matter with the re- sult that a committee was appointed to look into the feasibility of the mat- ter and also to look over the ground, select a site, prepare plans and esti- mate the cost of such an undertak- ing.” Another official of the Steel corpora- tion says it is a foregone conclusion that the corporation will soon com- plete plans for the building of an enormous plant at Duluth.
