FROM HEARING
Only Canadian Lawyers at llm
Writ Argument
JKFEAHED CROWDED COURT
Sherbrooke Is Filled With Thousands
of Strangers and Any Move to Hand
Over Prisoner Ma Be Resented.
Sherbrooke, Que., Sept. 2. No New
York attorneys were admitted to the
superior court this morning . when
Harry Thaw appeared before Magis
trate Matthew Hutchinson on the
second habeas corpus proceeding con
ducted In his case here.
Magistrate Hutchinson was him
self responsible for the order which
directed Sheriff Aylemer of Sher
brooke to arrange for the hearing In
chambers and not in open court.
The Canadian attorneys retained by
New York state were admitted to
argue the writ. They were S. W.
Jacobs of Montreal and Hecter Verrett
of Coaticook.
The entire Thaw battery of Cana
dian lawyers was admitted, however.
If William Travers Jerome felt any
resentment at the slight offered him
and his legal associates from New
York he did not reveal it.
"It is doubtful," said he. "if we
would have appeared had the hearing
been public instead of in chambers.
There has Leen so much talk about
our coming here and trying to ride
roughshod over Canadian laws that
we feel some hesitancy just now about
showing our hands in any direction."
Magistrate Hutchinson did not have
much to say regarding his order for
locked doors.
"We didn't mean to slight the New
York attorneys," he remarked, "and
feel that we are quite within our
rights as thiy huve mi legal status in
Canadian courts."
Aside from the question of showing
the attorneys from New York the
courtesies of the superior court, It Is
known that Magistrate Hutchinson
whs afraid that had Thaw been ad
mitted to opon court there would have
been another demonstration in his
favor such as that which occurred last
week.
The town Is filled with provincial
farmers and small tradesmen from
towns so far away as Montreal and
Quebec. They have come here for the
township's agricultural exhibition.
The police authorities have not
made a secret of the fact that they
fear a riot by the thousands of Thaw's
sympathizers if he is released on the
writ of habeas corpus and turned over
to the Immigration otliciuls to be
taken to Coaticook to uppeur before
a board of inquiry.
Thaw was lu an excitable frame of
mind this morning over the day's
prospects. He didn't try to conceal
the hope that hurrahs would greet him
as he ielt the Jail and proceeded to
the courthouse.
"My publicity campaign lias done It
all," ho exclaimed. "'1 here is nothing
like letting the people understand
just what conditions are existing."
Jerome is not growing in popularity.
One can walk along any street in
town and fail to hear a kind word for
the man. On the other hand he Is
the victim of pretty general censure
and has received a bubhel of letters

tained by appealing to either the ct urt

said they could block execution ol
the writ by this means have hedged a
bit. Mr. McKeon said:
"I don't know what we shall do tf
the writ is sustained. It's a case of
the cat under a sofa."
Alexis Dupuis, the Justice of the

faulty commitment on which Thaw Is
confined, announced that he had per
suaded his wife to permit him to con
sult with Magistrate Hutchinson on the
advisability of his summoning Thaw

ORDERS TO R.D. PATRONS
Carriers Are Not to Pick Up Loose
CI-anQe in Boxes.
Picking up loose money has grown
to be such a hardship for the over
worked rural free delivery carrier that
the postofhee department warned reck
less citizens against leaving loose
coins lying around. Hereafter ooins
must be tied in bundles or inclosed in
envelopes whenever the patron of a
rural route wants stamps from a car
rier and leavos the amount in tho box.
The attention of postmasters at
rural delivery otllcen and of rural cur
riers Is again directed to the fnct
that rural carriers are not required to
collect loose coins from rural mall
boxes. Patrons should Inclose coins
in an envelope, wrap them securely in
paper or deposit them in a coin hold
ing receptacle so they can he easily
and quickly tuken from boxes.

SEPTEMBER.
Fall by the calendar and many unmistakable evi
dences in nature of the advent of this most delightful
season. The falling leaves, the crisp cool mornings
and evenings remind us forcibly of the early approach
of autumn.
The progressive merchant needs not to be re
minded by either nature' or calendar. For many
months in advance of its coming preparation must be
made for its arrival.
A complete transformation is rapidly taking place.
Summer goods are being relegated to the rear and
everywhere in every department both up and down
stairs their place is taken by the arrival of new fall
merchandise.
Of this a series of important announcements will J
soon appear.
Englishman's Tea.
If an Englishman could put his gos
pel of life into words he probnbly
would say, "Give mo liberty and tea,
but If 1 can't have both I'll take the
tea."
There nre few differences between
Englnnd nnd Americn so marked ns In
this matter of preference for' a hot
drink. The United Kingdom uses C.5
pounds of ton per capita per year. Tho
United States uses only n little over
one pound per enpitn. and probably the
bulk of this Is consumed by Britons
nnd Canadians living In this country.
On the other hand, (he American peo
ple use O.fi pounds of coffee per capita
In the course of twelve months, while
Britishers consume less than a pound
each in the same period.
This Inst Is not sni prlsinir. however.
Any American who has made acquaint
mice with the stuff thai bears the nnine
of coffee In KiiKlnnd. especially that
served nt the breakfast table, will won
der why Britain uses any coffee nt all.

The Romantio Salute.
The yoiiuir lieutenant in his trim nnd
elegant uniform saluted in the stiff
and yet somehow graceful military
manner a pretty matron.
"The military salute." he said, "Is
peculiarly appropriate to you, madam.
Do yon happen to know Its origin?"
"No."
"Well. Its origin goes linrk to the
days of chivalry, to the tournaments
of the middle aires. In those tourna
ments the knights, before the combnt
betfiin. rode past the queen of beauty
ou her throne. As they caracoled by
her they simultaneously brought the
hand to the horizontal position nbove
the brows, then dropped It to the side
again a genuine military salute. And
this tho.v did in their chivalrous way
to protect their eyes from the blinding
rnys of the queen of beauty's loveli
ness. That, madam. Is the origin of
the military snlute, nml that Is why
the military salute is so appropriate to
one like yon." Ixis Angeles Times.
