    IHI IS HELD SINE
ALIENISTS DECLARE SLAYER'S
MIND NOT AFFECTED.
REFUSES TO BE EXAMINED
Speculation Regarding Gotham Trag
edy—Letter from White Said to
Have Been Cause of
Murder.
New York. —That Harry K. Thaw,
the slayer of Stanford White, is per
fectly sane was the report made by the
alienists retained by the 'district at
torney's office to examine into the
prisoner's mental condition. This re
port was made after the physicians
had spent an hour with Thaw, who,
in defiance of the advice of his coun
sel, former Judge Oleott, refused to
anyswer any questions and declared
that nothing short of actual force
■would compel him to submit to a phys
ical examination.
It was announced at th<- office of the
district attorney that Dr. Garvin, who
is preparing the case against Thaw,
had discovered a witness who alleged
that he overheard White make derog
atory remarks concerning Mrs. Thaw
while in the Cafe Martin a few hours
before he was shot.
With the police, coroner's and dis
trict rttorney's office working practi
cally day and night to learu all the
circumstances which led up to the
murder of Stanford White by Harry
Thaw Monday night, and all sources
silent as to their discoveries, there
•was much room for speculation
Wednesday on all phases of the case.
The motive for the murder, 'he police
believe, was outlined by Thaw's brief
statement that his home had been
ruined, and with this as a basis of in
vestigation detectives were sent in va
rious directions looking up Thaw's
habits in New York and investigating
the many stories told concerning Stan
ford White's conduct.
Perhaps the most interesting devel
opment was the announcement that
Mrs. Thaw told her husband's law
yers that sh-J had received many let
ters from Mr. White since her mar
riage. One of these she threw on her
dressing table a few days ago and her
husband found it and vowed ven
geance on the writer. While the find
ing o" this letter may have been the
direct cause of the tragedy, Thaw's
jealousy of and hatred for White were
of long standing, and the young man
made frequent threats to kill his sup
posed rival.
Mr. White was astonished some
months ago to find that detectives
were lollowing him wherever he went.
At first he had some doubt whether
the men were really dogging his foot
steps 01 whether it was a mere acci
dent that the same faces appeared
when'he left his office, his home or his
club st morning, noon and night.
When he had become convinced be
yond a possible doubt that reports ol
his movements wercv being prepared
for somebody, he took steps to have
some detective work done cn his own
account, and to have tois shadowers
foHowed.
He employed a man togo after him
wherever he went, so far as possible,
and Then he amused himself by giv
ing Ihe slip to the first detective. The
person he employed discovered that
the other detective reported to Thaw.
In thi-s way Mr. Whit* was able to
obtain ample warning that, the wealthy
young man from Pittsburg suspected
him vixd was preparing some unpleas
ant fjurprises. Mr. White took occa
sion to mention this fact to some of
his associates and commented that one
reason, he assumed, that Thaw was
angry with him because he was famil
iar with a document drawn by the
present Mrs. Thaw before her mar
riage. The nature of this is not
known.
There are many stories, too, of
haw's first meeting with White,
h!ch is said to have taken place fn
Paris last spring, after Thaw and Miss
Nesbit were married and in the course
if which Thaw threatened White.
Agnes Palmer, a chorus girl, is
loted in an interview as saying that
. White had told her that he knew
law was "gunning for him."
Funeral services over the body of
anford White, the murdered man,
ill be held Thursday. The body will
a taken to St. James, L. 1., in a
pecial train. The services will be
held in the Episcopal church there,
and the body will be buried at St.
James.

NEW CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH
RECENTLY DEDICATED IN BOSTON
Beautiful Edifice Has Cost Nearly Two Million
Dollars —Higher Than Bunker
Hill Monument.
Boston —Rising above thereof tops
the church spires of the Black Bay
district, and reaching a height loftier
than Bunker Hill monument, looms
the magnificent new cathedral of
Christian Science, at once the largest,
the costliest church edifice in this part
of the country and one of the most
remarkable church structures in the
world, it was dedicated on Sunday,
June 10.
It is two years since the corner
stone was laid, and day and night
since then more than 300 men have
been employed to hurry the structure
to completion.
It is 12 years since the first church*
of this new denomination was built,
and 30 years ago in July the first
Christian Science was formally or
ganized.
The cathedral adjoins the "mother"
church, as the one built 12 years ago
is called. This is at the junction of
Norway and Furmouth streets and ex
fS&it " v -
tends back to St. Paul's. The build
ers planned for an auditorium which
would be the largest in New England
in its seating capacity. Space was
provided for more than a mile of mag
nificent mahogany pews, which give a
seating capacity of 5,000, which is
more than five times the capacity of
the old South church, more than three
times that of Trinity and twice that of
Tremont temple or the cathedral of
the Holy Cross.
The auditorium contains seven gal*
leries, two on each side and three at
the back, all so arranged that not a
pillar or post interrupts the view of
the platform from any seat. The roof
of the auditorfum rises to a height of
108 feet from the floor, the entire
weight being borne by four arches
resting on four massive stone piers,
BLIND GIRL IS A LAWYER.
Leads Graduating Class in California
School—Will Take Up Music
as Livelihood.
New York. —Miss Christine La Bar
raque, now 28 years old, who has been
blind since she was a baby, is a law
yer. She was graduated at the head of
a law class in e. California law school,
and has been admitted to the bar in
that state.
Miss La Barraque is a remarkable
young woman. She is a graduate of
the University of California, a finished
linguist, an accomplished equestrienne
and a musician. She is now in this
city completing her musical education.
Getting her degree, she announced
that her ambition was to become a
lawyer. The professors told her it was
absurd, but she insis'ted and became a
night school teacher to earn enough
money to carry her through the law
school. There were 75 men in the
class, and at the end only 39 remained.
MISS CHRISTINE LA BARRAQUE.
(Blind Girl Who Has Been Admitted to
the Bar in California.)
In the final examination Miss La Bar
raque led them all.
"Of course, I realize that a blind
woman could hardly practice law suc
cessfully, so 1 decided to take up
music as xr.y livelihood," she declared,
' and 1 know 1 shall succeed."

which form the four corners of the
auditorium.
The dome is more than twice the
size of the dome on the state house.
Notwithstanding the greater elevation
of the site of the capitol building the
church dome rises to a greater height.
The top of the state house dome is
110 feet from the street and the street
is 100 feet from the level. The Christi
an Science dome is 224 feet above the
street, and the street there is only 15
feet above the sea level. The state
house dome has a diameter of 53 feet
and a height of 35, while the church
dome is 82 feet in diameter and 51 feet
high.
The area occupied by the church is
42,000 square feet. The first course
material in granite from Mrs. Eddy's
home. Concord, N. H. Above that the
material is Bedford stone. The semi
domes, the domes and the cupola are
of gray semi-glazed terra cotta. The
auditorium is up one flight. The first
| floor contains two stone and marble
! columns. In the center is the Sunday
I school room, with a seating capacity
jof 700. As t'ar as possible the building
is fireproof. The interior finish is of
marble and Bedford stone. The seven
I staircases are of bronze, marble, Bed-
J ford stone and steel.
The church cost nearly 12,000,000. It
, was erected by popular subscription. A
remarkable feature is that the build
! ing is entirely free from debt. Twice
i in the history of the Christian Science
church in Boston it has been found
necessary to invite the members to
| discontinue contributions to its build
j ing fund—once in 1595. when the orig
inal church was dedicated, and again
now when it was found that more
than enough money had been received
to pay for the extension of the church.

The kaiser's latest fad is photogra

erected at his palace of Monbijon, and
either works there himself or poses to
others. In the latter case he changes
his costume up to 60 times—green coat,
red coat, of the Order of the Garter,

TEETH THAT WERE USELESS
Puzzle to the Man Who Had Sud
denly Sustained the Loss
of Them.
Harry Leon Wilson, author of"The
Spenders," was domiciled for a summer
In Connecticut with a colony of artists
and writers, all of whom had togo into
the city every day, relates the Saturday
Evening Post.
Wilson wis doing nothing but loaf
ing. He loafed artistically, and from
time to time met and had fun with
some ol the natives of the place. One
day lie found two men in the road who
seemed congenial, and he struck up an
acquaintance with them. He proposed
a drive and they got a surrey and two
horses.
"Can you drive?" asked Wilson.
"Sure." one of his sudden friends re
plied, "1 am a fine driver."
They get aboard and started down
the road. Before they had gone half a
mile the team was frightened by a
passing automobile and ran away. The
driver valiantly steered the horses
into a telegraph pole and Wilson and
his two friends were thrown helter-
Bkelter into the road.
Wilson slawly gathered himself to
gether. One of his friends was sitting
In the ditch rubbing his bruises and
the other stood In the middle of the
road pazing in tearful misery at two
front teeth which he held in'the, palm
of his hand.
"Pre'ty lucky escape, wasn't it?"
asked Wilson, for want of something
better to say.
"Yes,' replied the man with the
teeth, weeping afresh, "but please, oh,
please, tell me, what shall I do with
these?"
There Is always room at the top, of
course, but sometimes it's a whole lot
more sociable at the bottom. —Puck.
THE DOCTOR'S WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food.
A trained nurse says:"ln the prac
tice of my profession I have found so
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that I unhesitatingly recommend
it to all my patients.
"It is delicate and pleasing to the
palate (an essential in food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
of teeth renders mastication impos
sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet I find Grape-Nuts and al
bumen water very nourishing and re
freshing. This recipe is my own idea
and is made as follows: Soak a tea
spoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass of
water for an hour, strain and serve
with the beaten white of an egg and
a spoonful of fruit juice or flavoring.
This affords a great deal of nourish
ment that even the weakest stomach
can assimilate without any distress.
"My husband is a physician and he
uses Orape-Nuts himself and orders
it many times for his patients.
"Personally I regard a dish of
Grape-Nuts with f'-esh or stewed fruit
as the ideal breakfast for anyone—
well or sick." Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, M>h.
In any case of stomach trouble,
nervous pro«tratic.n or brain fag, a
10 days' trial of Orape-Nuts will work
wondtrs toward nourishing and re
building, and in this way ending the
trouble. "There's a reason" and trial
proves.
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
fcook, "The Road to Wellville."

INVESTMENT IN MOTH BALLS
Manner of Using the Preventive
That Proved to Be a Sig-nai
Failure.
A State street druggist, telling of the
quaint characters whom he encounters
in his business, recently said: "Late
one afternoon one of the 'ould sod'
ambled up to the counter. 'Hov yez
onything good to kill moths?' he asked,
relates the Chicago Record-Herald.
" 'Yes,' said I, 'we have moth balls,
the best reemdy known.'
" 'Give me tin cints' worth, thin,'
says he.
"I made up the package, handed it to
him, and he ambled out again. I had
forgotten all about my customer until
about four o'clock the next afternoon,
when I was forcibly reminded of the
transaction ol the day before. After
1 had waited on my customers in their
turn 1 walked over to another coun
ter and was there confronted with my
moth-ball investor. Without giving
me time to make an inquiry, he said:
" 'Are yez the young mon that sold
t me thim things yistiddy?' showing me
the remains of about half a dozen of
the white balls.
"I answered in the affirmative, and
also inquired what the trouble was.
" 'Av all the con games I've run up
against in me toime, this bates thim
all,' he said. 'To think of onyone run
ning a decent down-town store selling
the lolkes of thim things to kill moths
with, or onything else, for the matter
of that. They might be all right for
playing marbles, but for killin' moths,
niver. I may not be as young as yez
are, young mon, but I'm just as stiddy,
and I want to tell you wan thing. If
yez can show me the man or woman
that can throw wan of thim balls
quick enough to kill a moth I'll not
only ate iviry wan of thim yez have
in stock, but I'll say nothing about
the picture the ould woman and meself
broke in the foine little game yea
would have us play.' "
A man finds it easier to boast of
the glories of the past if there are not
a few old-timers around who remem
ber it even better than he does him
self.
A man who speaks from experience
says that it costs almost as much to
keep a wife in clothes as It does to
keep an automobill in repair.
