At no time front t.'vj moment the

tU he should he pronounced cured. ]
f District Attorney Jerome told re- ;
jwrters that he would place Thaw on
trial<*!?ain, but not until tho fourteen
homicide cases now pending had been
Opposed of. This means that the sec
ond trial cannot possibly ta"ko placo
until late fall or early winter. In the
meantime Thaw must remain in the
Tontba, because Mr. Jerome has said
that he would oppose any motion to
sid/ait the defendant to bail, and it Is
scarcely likely that any Judge would
grant a motion in face of tho District
Attorney's decided opposition.
.Mr. Jerome says there is a possibil
ity that a change of venue Hiay be
applied for. Jeromo has his doubts
about that, however,and believes that
a Jury can be fobnd in New York
County that will declare Thaw guilty.
Of course, iu tho eyent that Thaw
should develop insanity to a marked
degree in tho meantime ho would be
wnt to Matteawan without being
compelled to undergo another trial.
ThaVv is in good spirits. It was ex
pected that he would break down and
shout to be liberated* He did nothing
of the kind.
As soon as the courtroom had been
cleared the Thaw women went to the
pen above the courtroom under tho
escoyt of Lawyer O'Reilly, thero to
console Harry. They found that they
needed more consolation than did tho
man they had hoped to tako to their
home with them.

Now Vork City.?Special dispatches

Pittsburg, St. Louis and Chicago?
show no appreciable falling off In

Pittsburg expects some Blackening

St. Louis is enjoying the greatest

FIFTEEN KILLED IN WRECK.
Injured Passengers Burned to Death
on the Canadian Pacific.
Fort William, Ont. ? Fifteen por
sons were killed and twenty injured
in the wreck of a Canadian Pacific
passenger train near Chapleau, 300

injured passengers.-^Werd pinned in

When the.train struck tho broken
rail five tourist cars near tho middle
of the train broke loose and roiled
down the embankment. One of the
cars was entirely submerged. The
other four stopped closor to the shore
and were only partly covered by
water. The latter caught fire nnd
tho passengers imprisoned in a mass
of wreckage were burned to death.

bt Forty-five Fir Cent. In Uecade,
Washington, D. C.?Tho total ?-x- !
portation of meats, dairy products
and food animals from the United
States last year aggregated over
$250,000,000 in value, according to j
p Mfttemint issued by the Bureau of
statistics of the Department of Com
merce and Labor. This represents
an increase of $70,000,000, or forty
live per cent, during tho decode 1896
to .1906. More than sitty jier cent,
of last year's exports went to the
United Kingdom. Even thin large j
percentage, however, Is less than that |
of a decade ago, when Great Britain j
took over seventy per cent, of Amer
ican exports.

The farmers of America are en
Joying their full share of the general
prosperity of the country. The re
port of the Government recently made
public announces thai tho value of
farms Increased thirty-three per cent,
iiy five years, from 1900 to 1906.
This increase extends to every Stale
In tho Union in greater or lesn de
gree. Oklahoma shows the largest !
Increase, forty-three per cent., but j
even New England, which does not
lay claim to much of a farming coun
try, shows a gain of eighteen per '
cent. I
This great increase in our farm ;
wealth is, of course, duo to tho re- i
markable advance in the value of |
farm products, which is estimated to !
be about forty per cent, increased j
earnings have come with better
knowledge of conditions and better |
methods of farming,' and as these
methods are constantly improving, I
our continued prosperity seems as
sured.
COST OF LIVING LESS.
commodity Prices Fall, Partly Because the Hon
is Busy.
New York City. ? A decline of
nearly two per cent, in commodity
prices is attributed by Dun's Index
Number in largo measure to the
Bpring activities of tho American hen
and the consequent decline in the
price ot eggs o? ten and a half cents
a dozen, which Resulted in a heavy
increase in the per capita consump
tion.
It is usual at thi3 time of year for
the prices of dairy and garden pro
ducts to recede, but last month the
decline was exceptional. Comment
ing on tho causes of the decline, out
side of tho influence ot the break in
eggs, Dun's mentions the relief to
railway freight blockades, that made
It possible to move grain and many
other products more freely to mar
ket, and ?the feeling of conservatism
in some industries, which restricted
purchases of raw materials.
A BILLION PAID FOR AUTOS.
rronch Statistician Says That America Now
Leads the World.
Washington, D. C.?M. Fnroux, a
French statistician, according to a
report received by the Bureau of t
Manufactures, estimates that about '
550.000 motor cars have been maim- j
factured in tho nine /ears since the 1
experiment of self-propelled road ve- j
hides first succeeded. These ma
chines sold for more than a billion
dollars.
Until a year ago France, the pio- J
neer, led the world in tho production i
of the motor vehicle. Now the United |
States has taken the lead. Accord- >
ing to M. Faroux, the United Statp3
built 60,000 automobiles in 190G,
France 55,000, England 28,000, Ger
many 22,000, Italy 15,000 and Bel
gium 12,000. In 1001 the United
States built only CI4 ears, and- that

The Blizzard That Bllzzest
"H!!/.ziind" Is an American word.
Tim date and circumstances of its .
origin arc obscure. Though it wa?
first commonly by Lho American
newspapers as a good word for a snow
squall In t.'io Avintor of 1880-1881, it
is said to have boon known to tho
well in that Hontio nearly twenty
years earlier. From an iKngllsh writer
of 18:54 i iiia Hentonco is quoted": "A ,,
gent Ionian at dinner asked mo for a
toast, and, supposing lio meant to
have some fun <?t my expense, I con
cluded lo go ahead and giv? fttm ajjd
Iris likes a blizzard." Hero "blizzard"
might well mean a metaphorical TOl-.,t
ley, which would square with tho e^A
dence of a correspondent of an Ampr
