JUDGE EDGAR A. ALDRICH. Postpones Ruling on Thaw’s Ap-’ plication for Release on Bail. Considération of the question of admitting Harry K. Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, to bail in the United Btates district court ‘was postponed until the general habeas corpus hear- ing is held, in an order issued by gludge Edgar A. Aldrich at Concord, . H., The order is a distinct defeat for the Thaw attorneys, who believed the fugitlve would be admitted to bail within 2 week. . An extension of twenty days in which to file their brief in the main case was granted Thaw’s counsel by Judge Aldrich. VICTORY GAINED BY COVERNMENT South African Strikers Re- turn to Work. MARTIAL LAV STILL RULES Iron Hand of General Louis Botha, the Premier, Shown In the Arrest of Union Men for Holding Meeting In Contravention of Military Regula: tions Now In Effeot. Cape Town, Union of South Africa, |8 Jan. 17.—Dispatches from all parts of the Union report that the strikers are returning to work and that victory has been won by the government in the struggle with the Federation of ‘Trades. ’ The iron hand of the premier, Gen- eral Louis Botha, was still in evidence at Johannesburg, where sixty-two members of the Typographical union were arrested while meeting The charge against them was contraven- tlon of the provisions of martial law. The men had just passed a resolution to resume work. At the Salt River railroad works shops, just outside Cape Town, all the men have returned, their leaders having declared the strike ended. STANLEY IS WELL PLEASED Chairman of Steel Trust Probe Hears President’s Message. ‘Washington, Jan. 17.—President Wil. son discussed with the cabinet the completed draft of the message he will deliver next week to congress on the trust question. The president also spent an hour with Representativa Stanley, chairman of the committea which investigated the United States Steel corporation. Mr. Stanley said afterward that he concurred in every line of the message and added what particularly pleased him was that the president outlined the general principles to be dealt with leaving the details and specific meas- ures to be worked out by congress. Although altering the Sherman law in no way specific additions in one sense or another are contemplated to eliminate any uncertainty of interpre- tations. d Those who know what the president had in mind with reference to an in- terstate trade commission said that one of its chief merits would be in its powers of publicity.

By this I do not mean snch animals as the tenor who played the part of Lohengrin and was told by Von Bulow that he was the knight of the swine rather than of the swan, but real bona fide animals. They extend afl the way from Monte- verde to Wagner. About A. D. 1600 it was not unusual to have lions or elephants upon the op- eratic stage. One can never tell what there animals may improvise in their parts. I know of a case where an ele- phant caused a most hasty exit of the |. orchestra in London long ago, when the father of B, E. Woolf, the Boston crit- fe, was conducting. The donkey in Leoncavallo’s “Pag- liacel” has not a-speaking part. yet once that I know of he lifted up his voice and made Canio's great solo an unexpected duet. Balaam himself was not more astonished than was the tenor on that occasion. In spite of the saying. “Thou shalt not yoke the ox and the ass together,” Plerne caused these two to sing a duet in “The Children of Bethlehem.” On this occasion the ass was a tenor, but I do not believe that Plerne meant any reflectlon upon the high voiced frater- nity.—Louis C. Elson in Musical Ob- server. Couldn’t Be Divided. In Felix Moscheles’ “Fragments of an Autoblography” occurs the follow- Ing: Mme. Schumann was wanted to play at a little musical reunion, but she did not respond. Mr. Moscheles was deputed to approach her. “Was she inclined to play?” “Particularly disinclined,” was the discouraging response. The envoy tried again and mention- ed her husband’'s “Carnival” “One part I particularly love, the ‘March of the Davidsbundler’ If I could only hear you play just that page or two!” This roused her. “Page or two, in- deed!” she cried. “Wenn man de ‘Car- naval’ spielt, spielt man ibn ganz.”” (When one plays the “Carnaval," one must play it all.) And she played the whole. 3 Feyther and the Passon, After a Saturday afternoon tramp in Cheshire, writes a correspondent in-the Manchester Guardian, I stopped at o little whitewashed inn, where I heard the following rustic story. Ou a bench outside half a dozen farm workers, with faces and bared arms ly sun- burned. were relating reminiscences of bygone times. “Did Ah iver tell yo' about ma poor owd feyther and the passon?* asked a white whiskered sturdy veteran. “No? Well, passon meets feyther one day. an’ ses ‘e, ‘John, Ah could find yo' a bit o' a job blowin' t* organ up at t' church o° Sundays if o' doan’t mind.’ *Aye. tharkee, sir, ses feyther. *Al'd be very glad, but Ah doubt Ah hevna wind enongh.' ™ ‘No Place For Postmen. The new postman was called before the office superintendent for a repri- mand. i 2 “You were seen loitering in the neigh- borbood of that big fire down the street.” the superintendent said. “I only stopped a minute,” the man pleadsd, “and I was already eight min- Ttes ahead of schedule time,” “It is not a question of time, but safety,” the superintendent _replied. “The last place on earth a postman can afford to loiter is in the vicinity of a big fire. On the contrary, he ought to make a detour to avoid it: “By neglecting that simple precgution more than one postman has had his feather bag drenched by a stream from the hose and a lot of ruined letters harged to his conscience if not to his pocketbook.”—New. York Times. English Words_ In German. Like the word “sport” and many oth- er Bnglish words for which the Ger- map language has no adequate terms, the word “strike” has become one of common usage in Germany. ‘“Start. finish, mutiny. trick, snob, smart, part- ner, detective, picnic. film, handicap and hundreds of other words,” says a letter on the subject, “are used in their original form. with not a letter changed. Panic has been made into ‘panik’ and check into ‘scheck.’ record ag ‘rekord’ when the German uses the word, and strike, in order to preserve the proper pronunciation. is written ‘strefk.” These words look- English enough when you see them printed, but ‘when you hear them you involuntarily think of the ‘English spoken here' signs.”—New York Tribune. Camp Candlesticks. A camp candlestick can easily be made with a piece of stick. Choose a straight stick about eight inches long and one inch thick. With a good knife sharpen one end as you would a lead pencil or a stake. Then split the other end into four , taking care not to allow any to snap. and strengthen ‘the point where they meet by binding with string. The candles can then be placed between the four branches and held in position with string. The pointed end Is then stuck into the ground and the candlestick is ready for use.—Boston Herald. “Farmers,” sai “are just as dislionest as the city milk- “How d’ye make that out?" asked the farmer's “This morni said the girl, accus- ingly. “with my own eyes I saw your hired man water the cows just before he miiked them.”—~Exchange.

A footfall sounded on the stair. ‘“The Lord help you!” the maiden sighed. 4 —Boston Transeript. “Wombat, “1'd iike to ask you a question if you won't get offended.” “Fire away? “Why do you spend so much of your time hanging around a courtroom?” “It's the only you can get away from ragtime orches- rtras and cabaret features.”—Pittsburgh Post.
