A voluntary petition In bankruptcy
was filed Frldny night In the United
e'tatcg court at Pittsburg by Attor
ney Charles Morschauser, New York,
representing llnrry K. Thaw of that
city, who Is now confined In the Dutch
ess county, N. Y., Jail.
In the petition Thaw states that l.ts
HHsets are $128,012, and hla llabilltHs
$453,140.
Roger O'Mura, a well-known Pitts
burg detective and personal .'.lend of
the Thaw family, was appointed re
ceiver. Hii) bond was placed at $200,
000 and John Newell and JaniM W.
Piatt, two prominent business men ot
this city, became security for Mr.
O'Mara.
The most interesting Information
Riven regarding the proceedings Is to
be found in the petition asking for the
appointment of a receiver, in which it
is alleged the action is taken for the
purpose of preventing his property
being dissipated In litigation over
claims, many of which are unjust.
The figures in the bankruptcy peti
tion show that this refers to the law
yers and doctors.
Thaw states that he is confined In
Jail in Dutchess county, N. Y and Is
likely to be there for some time. He
Eays some of his creditors have com
menced suits against him and others
are contemplating similar action. He
Is nnnhle. he says, to give the litiga
tion his attention, owing to tho con
finement. Loans amounting to $191,500 from
his mother, Mrs. William Thaw, are
not disputed.
Among the disputed claims are the
following: John H. Gleason, New York,
$80,000; llartridge & Peabody, New
York. $ilO.()00; J. J. Graham, Now

Battleships In New Zealand.
Cloudy weather greeted the land
ing Sunday of Admiral Sperry, com-mander-ln-cliief
of tho American fleet,
and his olllcers, at Auckland, N. Z to
receive official welcome to Austral
asian waters at tho hands of Prime
Minister Sir Joseph George Ward of the
government. The landing was made
at the newly erected quay at the foot
of Queen street, the city's principal
thoroughfare, at the shore end of
which an elaborately decorated stand
had been erected for the reception.
Grouped about tho prime minister
were the members of the cabinet and
various town, borough and district rep
resentatives of the dominion.
Immense crowds thronged tho
streets and the verandas and roofs of
houses adjacent were moving masses
of humanity. It was a great recep
tion ar.d unbounded enthusiasm pre
vailed. In his address Sir George eulogized
President Roosevelt as representing
the best traditions of the common
blood of two countries. He then pre
sented to Admiral Sperry for Presi
dent Roosevelt a decorated gold and
silver album, suitably Inscribed, of the
visit of the fleet to New Zealand.
The American commander-in-chief,
In replying to the prime minister, said
that no greeting would appeal more
strongly to President Roosevelt than
that coming from a people small In
number but great In achievements. A
reception of the American fleet, the
admiral continued, showed that the
ties of blood and friendship meant
more than people understood.
In his address of welcome on behalf
of the citizens of New Zealand, Lord
Plunket, the governor, said that King
Edward and President Roosevelt were
honored, not because of their posi
tion but for the noble work they had
done and were doing for their coun
tries and for humanity.
Merchant and Priest Killed by Auto.
When an automobile plunged over
3 steep embankment on the Michaw
road near Sylvania, Ohio, on Sunday
morning, Charles W. Pohlmann, a
wealthy Cleveland importer and mer
chant ' tailor, and Father George Va
lley, pastor of St. Columbklll's parish,
Cleveland, were Instantly killed be
neath the car.
Mrs. Charles W. Pohlmann, her
daughter Florence and F. C. Dletzel, a
Cleveland dentist, were in the car but
were saved from injury by the up
right at the back of the ton ilea u.
The automobile tumbled to the bot
tom of the embankment bottom side
up. The priest's head was crushed,
and Mr. Pohlmann, who was driving
tho machine, had his chest crushed.
Father Vahey died instantly and Mr.
Pohlmann lived less than a minute.
The party left Cleveland at 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon and spent the
night in Fremont. They arrived In
Toledo Sunday. Mr. Pohlmann guided
his machine to the side of the road
to avoid a deep hole In It, but the
sides of the embankment are thickly
lined with shrubbery and Bmall- trees
and the party did not realize that
they jncealed a steep bank.
THAW
BANKRUP
WRIGHT'S AEROPLANE.
Sailed Up and Down the Field at
Varying Heights.
.Lemons' Aug. 1. After two false
starts Wilbur Wright, the Dayton, O.,
aeroplanlst, made a sucessful ascen
sion here. The machine flew about two
kilometers (1.24 miles) In one minute
43 seconds, official time. Owing to
the '.uteness of the hour Mr. Wright
decided not to try a longer run. The
flight was viewed by several thousand
people. Mr. Wright divided tho morn
ing and the afternoon poring over and
testing his aeroplane and trying to
ward oft the active army of photogra
phers who were clamoring to take a
picture of himself and his aeroplane,
lie rights for which have already been
rontracted for. When a French army
captain snapped the machine, Mr.
Wright insisted that the plates be
handed over to him or destroyed.
The evolutions were carried out
with tho same ease and mastery as
those of Saturday. Mr. Wright caused
the machine to swerve out of a direct
line of flight and to describe two loops,
like a great figure eight.
The first false start was due to the
clumsiness of an assistant, who held
on to the aeroplane too long, thereby
causing Its right wing to touch the
ground and giving the machine such
an unmanageable tilt to starboard
that .Mr. Wright made a landing after
traversing only fifty feet.
On the second trial Mr. Wright got
away well and the machine rose to
thirty feet. It had traversed 600 feet
when suddenly it approached too near
the branches of some trees. The mo
tor did not perform Its functions prop
erly and Mr. Wright landed In good
style.
Undismayed by these two failures
Mr. Wright. Just at dusk, again as
cended and this time sailed up and
down the field at varying heights and
finallv landed directly In front of the
grandstand, to the accompaniment of
a burst of applause.

Irish Sarcasm.
A happy and humorous example ot
sarcasm as apart from repartee Is af
forded by the following anecdote. I
quote It on the authority of a friend,
who, I am afraid, was ttie villain of
the Incident: A most imperturbable
man was followed from Westmoreland
street, Dublin, over the O'CouncIl
bridge to the general postolliee by two
little street aralis, who Importuned
him for the end of his cigar. "Throw
us the butt. sir'. Ah, sir, throw us the
butt!" cried the youths, but as the man
did not betray the slightest conscious
ness of their existence they gave 111 ill
up at last in despair and disgust. "Ar
rnh, let him alone," said one, with the
most scorching scorn. "Shure, it's a
butt he's picked up himself."
I once heard a bumptious little man,
who, act inn us steward at athletic
sports lu Dublin, was very assertive
In keeping back the crowd, thus ad
dressed by 1111 angry spectator: "If the
consate was taken out of yez, ye'd be
uo bigger than a green gooselierry,
and ye're as sour as wan already!"
London Standard.
Happiness From Troubles.
Being hmiiiin. happily or unhappily,
we cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the reflection that misery
never lucks the company It loves. We
all have our troubles, and some of us
derive much satisfaction from the con
templation of them, indeed, there are
those who are happy only when wretch
ed, but these we believe to be as few
lii number as they are disagreeable In
association. The vast majority of hu
11111ns are normal and disposed, there
fore. In conformity with natural law,
to smile when the skies are clear and
to grieve under the portent of clouds;
hence the ease with which worry takes
possession of the mind, colors the dis
position and makes a cripple of effort.
That causes abound we know and
must admit, as we do almost uncon
sciously the certainty of death, but
too little cognizance Is taken of the
fact that the effect of mere apprehen
sion, which Is all that worry really Is,
may lie subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcome. George
Harvey In North American Review.
Vernet and the Veteran.
"When Horace Vernet, the great
French painter of battle scenes, was
at the height of his lame," said an art
ist, "when the prices be was getting
were enormous, a grizzled old veteran
came to liim one day and said:
" 'I want you to make my picture to
send home to my son. What, though,
Is your charge?"
" 'How much are you willing to pay?'
saiil Vernet, smiling.
"'A franc and n hall',' was the an
swer. " 'Very good.'
"And the artist, with a few quick
strokes, dashed olT a wonderful sketch
of the old man.
"Tin! old man paid, tucked the sketch
under his arm and carried It out tri
umphantly to a comrade who awaited
him outside.
"'But 1 did wrung not to haggle a
bit,' Vernet overheard liiiu say. I
might have got it for a franc.'"
