A, 'N Til IICj01 |BLIGHTED BY THE THAW CASE The fecent conviction and senteno ing to state prison of Dan O'Reilly for his participation in a theft dommitted in New York serve to draw attention to the remarkable series of misfor tunes attending various persons con nected.with the Thaw case. O'Reilly was one of the lawyers on the Thaw side and has never had a day's luck since he was mixed up in it.' While the crime for which he has been sen tenced and which disbars him as a lawyer had nothing to do with the case of Thaw, many believe that it was the nemesis of the White tragedy which worked his undoing. So far the lives of thirteen persons mixed up one way or another in the case have been blighted. Of the other lawyers besides O'Reil ly who figured in the case Clifford W. i\, ~ Hartridge is facing disbarment pro ceedings growing out of statements made in connection with it. He had to sue Mrs. Thaw, mother of Harry Thaw, for his fees and a bill of particulars was demanded. In furnishing this he told of trips he made seeking witnesses, of sums of money paid to buy the silence of certain persons and of excursions to various resorts entail ing large expenditures. His revelations brought upon him the censure of the New York Bar association and proceedings to disbar him are now in the courts. A. Russell Peabody, who was associated In Thaw's defense, is dead and so are two other lawyers-John and George Lee, members of an old southern familf. Still another was Delphin Michael Delmas, who came out of the west and who on the second trial of Thaw introduced the famous plea of dementia Americana or brain storm. Fle has had no big cases since. MISSES HIS WEATHER GUESS "Professor Moore's rainstorm" has been the topic of much jocund com ment in \Vashington. Before now the weather tvmau has played a potent part in fixing the fame of great men. Noah, for example, might be compar atively unknown save for a rainstorm of unprecedented violence, and sub sequent history abounds in similar in- IN stances, culminating in "Professor Moore's rainstorm" of the night of the lawn fete which crowned the silver wedding anniversary of the president and Mrs. Taft. Twenty-four hours previous, when Washington was bedecking itself and joyously entering upon the task of making the silver weddirig anniver sary a close second to the corona tion festivities of that pther Anglo Saxon ruler, George of Gitaat Britain; when Washington was donning its most spotless duck trousers and sheerest" gowns, Professor Moore, sequestered in the innernost cham ber of the weather buregi building, announced that it was going to rain. I , "' Washinryn drooped; it talked sadly of the impending down F6 . 1 fbrellas and goloshes. But the Moore rainstorm was like ub o the mystery of the empty box-there was nothing in it. A tranquil afternoon was followed by an ideal evening. Every silvery star that was permitted by astronomical laws twinkled down on Washington. Therefowe, there is much jocund comment on "Pr-ofessor Moore's rain, storm." And, coupled with the "storm," are many mentions of that other day in President Taft's administration which the weather likewise made memorable-the day of the inauguration. The weather man predicted that March 4 would he a pretty fair day, a serviceable inauguration day if not an ideal one. Then came the blizzard that buried Washington inches deep in slush, broke down telegraph poles, tied up train service and almost snowed in the weather office. ITHREATEN SENATOR'S TOGA1 ~~ It is repor-ted in Washinglon that the election of Senator Stephenson oi Wisconsin, the lumber king, is to be investigatedl by the senate committee on privileges and elections. - Senator Isaac Stephnenson is a na. tive of New Hampshire, where he war born in 1829. After a brief residence at Bangor, Me., he located in Wis -~ consin and for a time was a farm Ia borer. Seeing the prospect of mak / ing money in the lake transportatior business, he purchased a schooner anc I '~ff ~,operated it successfully between Mil 7 waukee and Escanaba. His savingm he invested in timber lands, whici then could be purchased cheaply, anc gradually became the owner of vast tracts of valuable standing timber Years ago he was a multimillionaire and every day now adds to his im Si monse hoard. He is also a banke1 - -.---and is financially interested in varn ous enterprises. Hack in the compar tively early days of his career he was elected to the Wisconsin legislature and sat in that body fr-om 18664 to 18G8. In 1883 he was elected to congress retaining his seat until 1889. and in 1907 he was elected to the United Stater senate to fill an unexpired term ending in 1909. It is his subsequent election for a full term that is to be made the subject of a senatorial inquiry. One of the most deeply beloved of the royalties of Europe is ex-Queen Margherita of Italy, who, it is said, will pay a visit to the United States in the fall. It has long been her am- - bition to see the country whereo so/ many of her race have found a home, / but even royal personages cannot\ travel when they choose, and the visit had to be postpone~d. It is probable of her coming. The ex-queen is a daughter of the- / late Prince Ferdinando of Savoy, ii1 duke of Genoa. When only 16 years I old she became the bride of King Hlumnbert, second king of United Italy, which this year is celebrating ~ the fiftieth anniversary of its inde pendence. Eleven years ago she was left a widow owing to the assassina tion of her husband by the Anarchist Blrescia. She is now 00 years old Y and still retains much of her beauty. (~ Since her husband's death she has devoted herself greatly to charity and has endeared hrerself to the Italians.

Up11 to now the largerI portion of the fleet has been kept in Atlantic waters, but with the canal open It would be possible to effect a change of position in case of need without serious delay. A writer signing himself "Navarch" emphasizes, in an article on "The Dis position of Our Fighting Fleet," in the Columbian Mlagazine, the importance of the new naval stations in the Pa cifle. Hle speaks particularly of Pearl Harbor at Hlawaii, where a naval base Is now being established, and of the dry dock Dewey at Olongapo, sixty miles fromn Manila.

Last summer I was taken with severe pains in my back and sides. I could not breathe without difficulty and was nearly wild with the desire to urinate. Was compelled to do so every ten nin utes with the passage of pure blood with the urine. I tried all the different doe tora from far and near, but they said it was no use to doctor as I would die any way. I was at the end of ray rope and was so miserable with pain and the thought that I must die that words cap not tell how I felt. One day a friend told me of the wonderful help she had received from Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. She gave me one of your pamuphlets which I read and determined to try Swamp-Root. After taking half a bottle I felt better. Have now taken ten bottles and am well as I ever was, thanks to Swamp-Root. I wish to tell all suffering people that have hid ney, liver or bladder trouble, that Dr. Kil nier's Swamp-Root is the best i6edicine on the market.

A burglar was arrested for robbing a house up the state some t ine since, and the next morning the victim rush ed wildly into the magistrate's office. As soon as lie could get his breath to working again h3 told the ofliCial that he had come to see about the pris oner. "Glad yout came down," was the af fable response of the magistrato. "I sutypoSe y*ou wan' to appear against him." "Well, I guess not!" exlailied the victim with a glad smile. "I want to kiss limin on the brow and give him $10. Among other things that lie stole from the house was a package of love letters that I wrote ot my wife before we were married." PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA "A few days after birth we noticed an inflamed spot on our baby's hip which soon began spreading until baby was completely covered even in his eyes, ears and scalp.
