Knowing the grief that entered that home as he departed, we, his brother editors of the Great Northern Editorial association, tender to you our sin- cerest sympathy. “While we can do but little to lighten the burden of your sorrow, a knowledge of the esteem in which the departed was held by his asso- ciates will doubtless be to you a consolation.

As workers with him in the field of his profession, we share in the loss that has come through his depart- ure.

New York, May 2—Evelyn Nesbit Thaw did not go to Ludlow street jail. Instead representatives of Dan- fel O’Reilly, her counsel, paid over to George B. Hayes, the receiver ap- pointed to take charge of Mrs. Thaw’s affairs, the amount of §$250, the fine imposed upon her by Justice McAvoy for contempt on failure to appear in supplementary proceedings. Accord- ing to the court’s order this sum is to be applied to the extinction of the Judgment for $253 secured by Elsie Hartwig, a milliner, upon which the proceedings for supplementary pro- ceedings were taken. ¥rhere still re- mains to be paid a sum of nearly $100, made up of costs in various courts and the receiver's fees, before Mrs. Thaw can have her affairs taken out of the hands of the receiver. Two Girl Students Expelled. Minneapolis, May .—Two co-eds were expelled from the University of Minnesota by Miss Ada Comstock, dean of women at the institution, for stealing. Dean Comstock refused to divulge the names of the girls whom she expelled and also refused to state the nature of their thefts. Uncle Joe Is Seventy-three. ‘Washington, May - .—Joseph Gurney Cannon, speaker of the house of rep- resentatives. more familiarly known as “Uncle Joe,” has reached the sev- enty-third milestone in his active career, mostly spent in public life. Independents to Consolidate. Chicago, May 10.—It is stated in financial circles that all of the inde- pendent glucose concerns not connect- ed with the Corn Products Refining company are about to consolidate for the purpose of bringing all of their plants under one management, con- trolled from one central point. Castro Joined by His Wife. Santander, Spain, May 10.—Senora Castro, wife of the deposed president of Venezuela, arrived here on the steamer Guadeloupe from the West Indies. She was met by her husband, who came down from Paris. NOT AFFECTED BY THE VERDICT Mrs. Boyle Calmly Hears Declaration of Guiit. VEIL CONCEALS FEATURES Following Reading of Jury’s Decision She Quietly Draws on Her Gloves and Accompanies Sheriff Back to Her Cell—Maximum Penalty in Her Case Is Twenty-five Years in the * Penitentiary. Mercer, Pa, May 10.—Manifesting the same stoical indifference to her fate which has characterized her throughout her trial for the abduction of Willie Whitla Mrs. James H. Boyle sat immovable as the jury returned a verdict of guilty on the second count of the indictment against her. A heavy veil, which she has worn throughout the trial, concealed her features, so that it could not be seen whether her color changed, but there was not a movement of her body to indicate that she so much as heard her doom pronounced. Her indiffer- ence was even more pronounced than it has been during preceding portions MRS. J. H. BOYLE. of the trial. The -courtroom was crowded almost to suffocation when the jury filed in and the foreman an- nounced they had agreed. ) The crowd in the courtroom was warned that no demonstration would be tolerated and the verdict was read in silence. Quietly, as though prepar- ing to go out for a walk, Mrs. Boyle drew on her gloves, arose from her chair and went with the sheriff back to her cell. Judge Miller, Mrs. Boyle's attorney, announced that he will make a motion for a new trial. It is be- lieved here that the motion will be overruled and titat both Boyle and his wife will be sentenced. The penalty in Boyle’s case is from one year in the penitentiary to a life sentence and in Mrs. Boyle’s case the maximum is twenty-five years. On her way to the jail after her conviction Mrs. Boyle expressed the belief that she had heen convicted to satisfy the venom and jealousy of some Mercer women. “Had I been a plain girl,” she said, “these same women would have pitied me. If the jury had acquitted me I believe these women would have tarred and feath- ered me. A sacrifice had te be made and Jimmie and I are the victims.” HALF THE TRUTH NOT TOLD Mrs. Boyle Says Principal in Case la Still at Large. Mercer, Pa., May 10—“Life in the penitentiary would kill me in a week or ten days and rather than submit to this I would take the ‘Dutch route,’” said Mrs. Boyle. Like her husband she is anxious to tell more than has been brought out in the trial of her- self or her husband regarding the kid- napping of “Billy” Whitla. “If Jim- mie and I are sent to the peniten- tiary,” she said, “we will fiot go alone. Others will go with us or join us soon there. Half the truth has not yet beeni told in this case. One other man who planned the whole affair has not been arrested. I am willing to suffer for any crime I may have com- mitted, but there is no evidence that I have been mixed up in this case and rather than suffer injustice from the court I will quit this earth and take justice from my Maker.” Baroness von Hutten Divorced. Rome, May 10.—Baroness von Hut ten, author of “Pam” and many other novels, was divorced by her husband in the German court. The ground for the action was desertion. There was no alimony and the baroness will be allowed to see her children for one month each year. Baroness von Hut- ten, before her marriage, was Miss Betsy Riddle of Erie, Pa. Plans Army Reorganization. ‘Washington, May 10.—Secretary of ‘War Dickinson’s first annual report will include the tentative plan for army reorganization now being draft- ed by the general staff.

DAY FOR MOTHERS AND LABOR Will Be Observed Throughout the United States. Philadelphia, May .—To a Phila delphia woman, Miss Anna Jarvis, be- longs the honor of originating the ob- servance throughout the country of the second Sunday in May as “Mothers’ day,” a day set apart for the mothers of the natlon. Reports coming here from all sections indicate that the day will be more generally observed tomorrgw than jt was last year or the year béfore, When the ob- servance of the day began. The outward sign of the observance is the wearing of a white carnation. In an address to the people of West Virginia asking the people of the state to remember the day Governor Glass- cock requested them to wear the white carnation ‘“because its -white- ness stands for purity, its form for beauty, its fragrance for love and its lasting qualities for faithfulness—all a true motker’s virtues.” General Henry M. Nevins, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, and Edgar Allen, Jr., commander-in chief of the Soms of Veterans, have asked the members of the two organ: izatlons to wear the emblem of the day. In South Dakota “Mothers’ day” has. been set aside as a state holiday By Governor Vessey. Throughout the country services will be held in the churches in honor of the mothers. In most of the Presbyterian churches of the country and in some of the churches of other denominations to- morrow will also be observed as “La- bor Sunday.” The second Sunday in May has been designated by the Amer- ican Federation of Labor and by the department of church and labor of the Presbyterian church as “Labor Sunday,” to be observed by the at- tendance in church of labor union members and by the discussion from the pulpit of some phase of the labor question.

REFUGEES DARE NOT RETURN Grain on the Plains of Adana Ripe for the Harvest. Adana, Asiatic Turkey, May 8— Macedonian soldiers sent here by the authorities are faithfully guarding the American schools and mission resi- dences, but otherwise the city is de- moralized. The grain on the Adana plain is ripe for the harvest, but no Armenian refugees dare go back to their farms, as the surrounding country is still dangerous for any man not a Turk. The relief work is being carried on systematically in Adana. Special camps have been established for per- sons suffering from contagious dis eases, such as typhoid fever and small- pox. It is costing about $1,250 a day to run these places. SERIOUS STATE OF AFFAIRS Brigandage Carried on in Suburbs of Constantinople.

The fallen lay in wind- rows, rolling and tossing in agony, fighting to regain their feet, many dropping back with limbs broken or blood pouring from wounds on head or face. The runners had finished between two solid lames of spectators and many of these were badly shaken and knocked about as the bodies fell from above. Many were knocked down and trampled on in the wild and aimless surges of 500 people temporarily in- sane from fright and the sight of streaming blood. Jackson and Crabbe, the runners, each fell under the weight of the fall- ing bodies from above. Neither run- ner was seriously hurt. A dozen physicians were in the audience and they, with the athletes and guardsmen, took charge of the sltuation, so that order was soon re- stored. Other physicians, firemen and policemen were summoned; aid was given to the injured and the sufferers were taken to their homes or to hos- pitals.
