A Kansas man killed himself be­ cause he was tired of getting up at three o'clock in the morning to milk the cows. Apparently it never oc­ curred to him to get married. The cigarmakers' union of Boston has decided to bar married women from the shops unless their husbands are invalids. What a shock for those poor men who married for homes. New York.--A series of surprises brought the Thaw trial near a crisis Friday. Both Evelyn Thaw, the wife, and Mrs. William Thaw, the mother of the defendant, were on the witness stand, and just as the former was about to relate anew the story of her life, as she told it to Thaw in Paris Jn 1903, District Attorney Jerome arose, and suggested that in the inter­ est of public morals all persons save those immediately interested in the case should be excluded from the courtroom during the recital of what he termed "a horrible* tale." The de­ fense agreed and Justice Dowling ad­ journed court until Monday morning, when, he said, he would decide the matter. Suggestion Is a Surprise. The district attorney's suggestion was a distinct surprise and called forth the remark from Justice Dow­ ling that it would have come with greater force at the first hearing of the case. When Mr. Jerome arose it was generally believed that he was about to contend against the admis­ sibility of young Mrs. Thaw's testi­ mony on the ground that it could not have had a very serious effect upon the mind of the man' who subse­ quently became her husband, inas­ much as the homicide did not occur until three years thereafter. Mr. Jerome had previously objected to Mrs. Thaw detailing conversations she had with Thaw three years prior to the tragedy, but Justice Dowling ruled that t^, declarations of the de­ fendant were admissible on general principles and without any reference to the Wood case, under which the evidence in dispute was admitted last year, and which Mr. Jerome had been expected to ask a construction of this year. "I will not except to your honor's ruling," said the district attorney as he took his seat after his objection, "for the state has no power of ap­ peal." Tears Evelyn's Story to Pieces. Then Mr. Jerome attacked the wit­ ness in another way and, by standing immediately in front of her and ob* jecting to practically every question which Mr. Littleton asked in his pre­ liminary examination as to her early history, cut the young woman's re­ cital from the effective narrative form it assumed last year into a hundred fragments. Many of the objections, based upon irrelevancy and immateri­ ality, were sustained by the court. When these failed the prosecutor wn« Aver ready with cithers unlii the testimony fairly was torn into shreds and had lost entirely the many little touches of human interest which were a part of the narration last year when no objections were offered. Mr. Jer­ ome said his objections were intended to cut out all stories about pet cats "and a lot of other stuff" which had no place in the trial. Elder Mrs. Thaw Testifies. The day, however, was one of good progress for the defense. The .elder Mrs. Thaw, pale and weak from her recent illness, was assisted to the witness chair and repeated a large part of the testimony she gave a year ago. Her appearance and the sincerity of her evidence as she told of her son's strange conduct after meeting Evelyn Nesbit and hearing her story had a marked effect upon all who listened. On account of her weak condition her examination was inter­ rupted by consent, to be resumed some time next week, when she will tell of Thaw's infancy. District Attorney Jerome'i manner while the mother was on the stand was all deference, and it was his sug­ gestion which led to the respite in her ordeal. But when the young wife took the stand the change was marked. Jerome glared at her from the very first and his objections were fairly shouted in her ears. Well ac­ customed to court usage from her former experience, the young woman waited patiently for a ruling as to each objection. When they were sus­ tained she was silent; when over­ ruled she was ever read with her re­ sponse. A prominent Washington physician •ays that "mince pie is not injurious if you can digest it" It might be add­ ed neither are carpet tacks--so much depends upon that little word "if." Wearing a peekaboo shirt waist in winter is highly recommended for women who want to catch the grip.

Is Released an Bail--Charged with If- "'••-^ragular Acts 'While Visa v! id#Rt ef Institution.-- ~j,r ^ New York.--The special grand Jury which was sworn In to Investigate the conduct of certain banks in New York cqunty returned two indictments Wednesday against William R. Mont­ gomery, president of the Hamilton bank. The charges, Involving over-drafts and over-certification, have to do with acts alleged to have been committed by Montgomery while he was vice president of the instlttuion. When E. R. and O. F. Thomas retired from their banking interests Mr. Montgom­ ery succeeded the former in the presi­ dency. The Hamilton bank suspended on October 23 last. Recently the courts decided that the receivership should not be made permanent. The de-( cision was made the qgcasion of a joyful demonstration on the part of the depositors who, headed by a band of music, marched to the home of the president and cheered him until he responded with a speech in which he declared that his personal vindication as an officer would follow the investi­ gation of the bank's affairs. At the tithe Montgomery had been accused of lax management by Receiver White. Montgomery Was present when wanted Wednesday and in the crim­ inal branch of the supreme court pleaded guilty with the usual reserva­ tion of his right to change his plea or demur to the Indictments. The $5,000 bail required was furnished l)y William H. Birkmlre, a" director * of the bank. > « One indictment charges that on August 29 last Montgomery drew a check for $12,950, payable to B. F. Strassburger, a Maiden Lane jeweler, and caused it to be certified. This transaction, it is alleged, constituted an overdraft of $12,869. The second indictment sets forth that on September 6, last, the defend­ ant drew a check to the order of Dr. L. C. Warner for $21,000, at a time when the maker's balance in the bank was only $5,918. This balance, it Is charged, had been further reduced to $154 when the check in question was presented three days later and was paid by the bank. REAL LEAP YEAR WEDDING. Minneapolis Romance Is to Culminate In the Jail. Minneapolis, Minn. -- Miss Emily Steger, 729 Fourth avenue south, Thursday took out a license to wed Charles Eakin, and Minneap­ olis' first real leap year wedding cer- mony is to be performed in the county jail. Eakin, the groom, is serving a five months' term in the jail on a charge of grand larceny in the second degree. Miss Steger is 22 years old. Eakin's age is the same. The wedding will come as the cul­ mination of a friendship which has lasted since their childhood and which developed into love only after Eakin had been convicted. Unwilling to ask the woman of his choice to marry a man who had been convicted of crime, Eakin believed that he and Miss Steger would never be wedded. It was here that leap year entered the romance. Miss Steger visited Eakin in the jail, told him that she would marry him if he wished, and when he had consented she arranged the de­ tails of the jail wedding. RENT RIOT IN NEW YORK. One of the college professors wants to know why a professional man should be more highly esteemed than a chef.

Among the buildings destroyed are the commer­ cial houses of Herrmann, Adlor & Jolibert Officers Attempt to Evict Tenants and Are Mobbed. New York.--Forcible resistance by tenants whom an upper East side landlord was trying to evict resulted Friday in the gathering of a crowd of 2,000 or more sympathizers in the neighborhood, who made so much trouble for the police that the precinct reserves were called out During the rioting four women and a number of men were taken into cus­ tody. The immediate purpose of the dem­ onstration, however, was effected, the marshal deciding not to attempt the serving of more dispossess warrants at the time.

Fatalities from Awful Playhouse Dis­ aster Likely to Reach 180, Say Officials. Boyertown, Pa. -- This little borough, which lost one-fifteenth of its population In the opera house horror, Thursday turned to the task of burying its dead. Because of the condition of most of the bodies the borough authorities have ask^d the bereaved relatives to bury the dead within three days. All night long scores of men worked in the morgues preparing the identified bod­ ies for removal to thfeir late homes or to the cemetery. A long line of death wagons moved here and there about the town distributing the corpses ahd by nightfall most of the dead were ready for Interment. There was a slight hitch in the work of removing the remains from the morgues, through the action of Coroner Strasser forbidding the re­ moval of any bodies during his ab­ sence. It rained slightly Thursday, and there was a little fall of snow, but this did not deter the work of digging graves. A force of men started to dig graves in Fairview and Union cemeteries and they were relieved at intetrvals. The borough has decided to buy eight lots for the burial of the unidentified dead. In the center of the plot sufficient space will be left for the erection of a monument. The death list continues to grow, and it is now feared that the number of victims will reach 180, and pos­ sibly higher. Thursday Mrs. James Fryer, who was injured by leaping from the burning building, died, mak­ ing the total number of known dead 172. Druce Witness Arrested.

Tangier.--News has reached here of a terrific ten hours' engagement in a ravine near Settat Wednesday be­ tween a French column under the command of Gen. d'Amade, and a col­ umn commanded by Mulai Rachid, one of the chiefs of Mulai Hafid's forces. The French gained a splendid vic­ tory in the face of heavy odds, suc­ ceeding in dispersing the enemy and occupying Settat. Twenty of the French soldiers were wounded, but- many of the Arabs were killed- The latter not nnlv offered a dogged and fearless defense, but returned repeat­ edly to the battle after they had been routed, and attacked the French from three sides. In the later hours of the fighting Mulai Rachid's column was sudden­ ly re-enforced by the powerful Chaouia tribe, which figured in the massacres at Casablanca and which had arrived from the mountains at the very mo­ ment when Mulai Rachid was about to retreat. Under the combined charge of the now confident.Moors, the French not only held their ground, but steadily threw back the enemy, driving them eventually in mad haste to the hills. The engagement between the French and the Moors followed immediately upon a 25 hours' march of Gen. d'Amade's column, and under these trying circumstances the French forces are considered to have shown more than ordinary stamina and bravery. The French wounded in­ clude three officers. After destroying the camp of the enemy at Settat, Gen. d'Amade pushed forward and occupied Kasbah Ber Rohid. Harrlman Must Answer. New York. -- E.

PLOTf©F ANARCHISTf TO PE- STROY THEM IS DISCOVERED. FOILED BY RIQ POLICE Jean Fedher, Arch-Conspirator, May Be Arrested--All Have Fled to Interior -- Surprise In ? Washington. Rio Janeiro.--The Brazilian police have discovered an anarchistic plot here having as its object the destruc­ tion of part of the American fleet now lying in the harbor. The conspiracy while centering in Rio Janeiro and Petropolis, has ramifications in Sao Paulo and Minas Geraes. An individual named Jean Fedher, who resided in Petropolis, was the chief conspirator here although it is understood that foreign anarchists are deeply involved in the plot. Fedher is believed to have fled to Sao Paulo and the others have taken refuge in the interior. One of the detectives, who was well acquainted with Fedher, having served on the police force at Petropolis for some time, returned from that place Snnday, after having made investigations there, and had a long conference with the chief of po­ lice at Rio Janeiro. The latter frave it to be understood later that the Sao Paulo police are on the track of the arph conspirator and expect to arrest him soon. In an official note the chief o f po­ lice says: "Some time before the arrival of the American fleet'at Rio Janeiro, the Bra­ zilian government received word from Washington and Pavis vhat an­ archists of different nationalities in­ tended to damage one or several of the ships of the American fleet. The names and addresses of the conspira­ tors were indicated by information which the police here had received previously from France and Germany. The police of this district arc work­ ing with the police of Sao Paulo and Minas Geraes and I am sure every precaution will be exercised and the most rigorous vigilance observed both on land and at sea to prevent any in­ jury being done." Washington.--Rear Admiral John E. Pillsbury, chief of the bureau of navi­ gation of- the navy department, was greatly surprised to learn Sunday night of the discovery of an anarchis­ tic plot In Rio de Janeiro, the object of which is the destruction of a part of Rear Admiral Evans' battleship fleet. It was the first intimation the admiral had had of such a plof. "I cannot be­ lieve It; it seems preposterous," said Admiral Pillsbury. AND THERE WAS! i*-, .2 TRAIN FALLS FROM TRESTLE.

Va.--Late Wednes­ day afternoon the coroner's jury re­ turned its verdict in connection with the investigation of the Monongah mine disaster, it finds that the ex­ plosion was due to either a blown-out shot or to ignition of powder which in turn ignited the gas in the mine.
