M; JURY SAYS THAW IS SANK. aw May be Eccentric and Mental Weak, but Not Harmful. New York, July 14.?Harry Ke 11 Thaw was declared sa'ne by a j which for nearly three weeks h<* tened to testimony given in tl prenie court here before Justi ter Hendrick. Forty-eight mi is were consumed and two ballo re taken in reaching a verdict. It was at the end of a day of a ?sses by counsel and the charge stive Ilendrl.k and the jury r ed. While the twelve men we liberating the crowd in the cou jin and about the court house w gniented by scores of people, wl lieved that a verdict quickly wou found. Shortly before 4 o'clock ilift came from the jury room ai ormed Justice Hendrick that a ve :t had been reached. The doors ii >diate!y were locked and Justi ndrick, ascending the bench, war the spectators against any demo ation. Then the jury came in. ply to a question by the clerk art as to whether a verdict hi en reached the foreman hand* er a sheet of legal paper, whii is passed to the Justice. Justi mddick read it and handed it bathe clerk. Verdict Announced. "Gentlemen of the jury," said tl ;rk, "the question you have be* ked is this: Is Harry K. Tha ie?' Your answer is yes." Despite the warning several pa as stood up in front of their seal e court room hummed like a d mo. Justice Hendrick and a doz< art attendants rapped for order Meanwhije Thaw, who until tl rdict was announced sat at tl ansel table with his chin resting handkerchief, had turned afoui d grasped the hand of several s counsel. Then he went to whe > mother was sitting, a few fe ay, and, throwing his arms abo r neck, kissed ner twice. Mi aw at the same time patted h ughter, Mrs. George L. Carnegi the shoulder. Immediately John B. Stanchfiel ief counsel for Thaw, made a m n that the commitment, signed 1 stice Dowling, following a verdi not guilty on the ground of insar which was returned by the ju Thaw's second trial for the mu r of White, be vacated. Time for Appeal. Deputy Attorney General Beck juested time in which the Sta ght prepare an appeal. Justi mdrick reminded the lawyers th had not given. his decision, ai it consequently it had not been lly decided which side might d e an appeal. He set 11 o'clock t >rrow morning as the time wh< would receive briefs and hear a ments in his chambers upon tl >lion. ine jury uiouiai^ d court adjourned. As soon as the jury was dismissi aw crossed to the box and shoe nds warmly with each of the me s mother also shook hands with tl rvmen, saying to each: "Thar u so much for all that you ha' ne." One of the jurors asked her whet she had ever had any doubt of tl suit of this proceeding. Mrs. Tha liled and said no. The jury ai aw then filed into a room adjoi j the court, where photographe re waiting. Thaw himself movi i benches and chairs around in tl 3m so that he and all the j\irym< ght get into the picture. It w; th great difficulty that court a idants and deputy sheriffs preven scores of men and women fro shing up to Thaw in the cou 3m to congratulate him. It w; th much more difficulty that tl >wd was cleared from the cou use. Thaw Cheered. Outside the court house there a ,r stone steps, which have be< >wded all the afternoon.

Christ's Character, Free From "Vain o- Constructions," Guide. by ct When Charles Dickens's son went ii- to Cambridge the great novelist ry wrote: ir- "As your brothers have gone away one by one I have written to each of them what I am now going to write er to you. te "You know that you have never ce been hampered with religious forms of restraint and that with mere an 1U meaning forms I have no sympathy. fi" "But I most strongly and affectione" ately impress upon you the priceless ?" value of the New Testament and <he study of that book as the one unfail r" ing guide in life. "Deeply respecting it, and bowing 2(* down before the character of our Saviour, as separated from the vain constructions .and inventions of men, )k you cannot go very wrong, and will n- always preserve at heart a true ke spirit of veneration and humility. lk "Similarly I impress upon you the habit of saying Christian prayer every night and morning. "These things have stood by me all through my life, and remember that w 1 tried to render the New Testament 1C* intelligible to you and lovable by you n_ when you were a mere baby." rs Antiquity of the Hog. le in The two most important and as intimately associated products of Indiana vare corn and hogs. A lt~ French statistician with a newly m sharpened pencil and sufficient leisrt ure once figured out that the product as of a single sow with only six young IP at a time will amount m ten genera rt tions to about 6,.r>00,000. Of course, he left hog cholera and other diseases out of the calculation. The re Chinese claim to have bred and doin mesticated the hog 4,000 years before 16 the Christian era. The ancient i6 Egyptians knew the hog and this animal depicted on their monuments. in The use of the meat of the hog was ' f prohibited by the Jews as it was considered that in hot countries it pro16 duced skin diseases. The Moslems 6 under Mohammedan law are also proa hibited from using pork. The hog >w , was unknown in America until introduced from Europe by the early navigators. In the South American for16 ^ ests are great droves of wild hogs, the descendants of hogs brought over bv the Spaniards. When it is taken into account that the ordinary female.swine will produce twice every vear and usually eight to twelve at a birth one cannot help but wonder ' ' that the market price of pork should of , _ " .. be as great as it is. in _ 1 ' In response to the advertisement a( of the United States navy department for 1,500.000 teak decking logs, a .Manila lumber firm has submitted an ? offer of 500.000 feet of yacal. a Philr (. lippine wood resembling teak, which is regarded as the equal of teak for construction purposes. This is the at first time such offers of Philippine woods have been made to the navy. MIDDY BLOUSES.

Compared with j such men, the proverbial nine-lived fi cat is nowhere. B.ut as one reads IE \ jthe stories of great wars of the past's Ithe manner in which famous gener-p als have played touch-and-go with a ! death is little short of miraculous, ifi The wonderful esiapes of Napol-jb ,eon and Wellington were proverbial.) Though bullets grazed them and rid- j ^ idled their clothes and both had;*1 horses shot under them, yet both;u ! passed through a life of battle and a j danger with two or three slight j >" i wounds apiece. General Blucherp ! did not fare so well. Wounded sev- j ; eral times while serving under Fred-ju 1 erick the Great, he retired from the iv i army when that irascible monarch Jb swore at him. In response, however, to the pa-1 jtriotic call, he took up arms against; j Napoleon and was seriously wound-' J ed at Lutzen. At Lingv, too, he was j j thrown down and ridden over by the I j, i French and Prussian cavalry; but by | ^ drinking quantities of his favorite j. gin and water- the old war-dog was | _ iable to lead his troops on the follow- ; j ing day, and to materially assist in ; the winning of the battle of Water loo. Marshal Ney, the bravest of thein brave, was continuously fighting for j i 28 years, yet he escaped with onlyj0 !a few slight wounds to meet a trait- I jor's doom at the hands of the Bour-|i! boa king. He headed countless |" I charges, had dozens of horses shot jsl 1 under him, eagerly courted death j ^ : when leading the Old Guard at Wa-|C' ! terloo, and yet was never seriously jh j wounded. B I ti I Few cases are more remarkable, a' ! however, than that of General Sken- j la jzyechi, who got 30 bullets through; jhis cloak during the battle of Ostro-j^ llenka in the Polish insurrection of i ^ 11831, or Sir D. Lecy Evans, whose j ear was perforated by a bullet in the,^' Carlist war of 1837. Garibaldi, too. I i . si I had many narrow shaves but? none j = ! closer than when resting one day atj iVolturno.

The number of men who have escaped death through having a Bible, . a coin, love letters or some article in their pockets, is legion. During the South African war. one man owed1 his life to the fact that the queen's) ' chocolate box, which he carried in J the breast of his tunic, stopped a| well-aimed bullet. In another case, a man found a bullet embedded in aj small book he carried in his pocket, and a third owed his escape to certain silver coins which defected the " i i f ^ f trimmed in blue and red.
