THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 48. PLEA OF INSANITY Will be Made in His Behalf and Some of New York's Noted Lawyers Will Defend Him. New York. — Frankly admitting that he killed Stanford White, the famous architect, and pleading in justification of the deed that White had ruined the life of his wife, the beautiful former chorus girl and artist's model, Florence Evelyn Nosbit, Harry Kendall Thaw, of Pittsburg, brother of the countess of Yarmouth, occupies a cell in the Tombs awaiting the action of the grand jury on a charge of murder. His counsel will offer the defense of insanity and the prisoner was examined Tuesday by eminent alienists retained on his behalf by the district attorney's office. The coroner's inquest will be held on Thursday and in all probability the case will then be considered by the grand jury, when the prisoner's wife required to appear before that body, having been served with a subpena white in consultation at the office of her husband's counsel, the effort is now being made by both sides to expeditate the legal preliminaries so that the arrangement and trial may take place at the earliest possible date. Rarely has the case against any prisoner moved with more rapidity than did the proceedings Tuesday which ended in Thaw's formal commitment to the Tombs. Save in this unusual haste the routine followed and the treatment accorded to Thaw differed in no respect from that meted to an prisoner charged with a capital of ten years early in the morning from his cell in the West Thirtle station station house, Thaw, attired in fresh clothing brought to him by his valet, was shackled, in spite of his protestations, to a detective and taken in the patrol wagon to police headquarters. There after waiting his turn in the long line of petty criminals arrested during the night, he was photographed and his measurements taken on the Bertillon system. Again in the patrol wagon he was taken to the criminal court building, where a great multitude gathered to catch a passing glimpse of him, and was arraigned in the police court. There the proceedings were of the briefest and after the arrest of the defendant was undergone Thaw was remanded to the custody of the coroner and on his order committed to the Tombs to await the result of the inquest, which was set for Thursday. Through the proceedings Thaw showed little evidence of agitation except when the detective approached him in the station house to affix the handcuffs to his wrist. Then he protested vehemently, but on being assured that this was the invariable practice, he submitted without further words. While leaving the station house and even in the court room he was compelled to run the gaudiett of batteries of cameras, from which he shielded himself as well as he could by covering his face with his unshucked hand. It is reported on the authority of several cameras interested in the case that Thaw's defense will be that he was and is insane. New York — Stanford White, the eminent architect, of the firm of McKim, Mead & White, was shot and almost instantly killed last night by Harry Thaw, a member of the noted Pittsburg family, during the performance of the musical extravaganza, Mamelle Champagne, on the roof of Madison Square Garden. Mr. White died before an ambulance could be summoned and Thaw was arrested immediately after the shooting. A $60.000 JEWELRY ROBBERY. It Took Place in the Pittsburgh Residence of the Thaw Family. Pittsburg, Pa.—Following closely upon the sensational shooting of Stanford White by Harry Thaw in New York comes the disclosure of still another incident that brings the Pittsburg family into public notice and that was disclosed last night while information was being sought as to the presence of the various members of the Thaw family. A $60,000 jewelry robbery from the Thaw home on Beechwood boulevard, one of the most fashionable districts of the city, is said to have been made through a dropped by one very close to the family. The exact time of the robbery is not known, but it occurred while the Thaw family was in the city a few weeks ago, and although the police and detective forces of the city were immediately notified the matter has been kept under cover until now. Mayor and Policemen Were Arrested Mayor and Policemen Were Arrested. Rock Island, Ill. —Charged with obstructing the operation of railway trains without due process of law, Mayor G. W.

Kansas City, Mo.—In the United States district court here Friday Judge Smith McPherson, of Red Oak, Ia., passed sentence upon the seven defendants recently convicted in this court of making concessions and accepting and conspiring to accept rebates on shipments.

New York.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Relief from drouth in many important farming sections restored prospects of bountiful harvests, and the business of the nation has maintained a volume that is exceptionally heavy for the season. Some evidences of conservatism regarding production beyond assured demands are noted, but in many of the leading industries contracts have been placed for the entire output during the balance of the year, while steel mills are booked well into 1907. One of the best features of the week was the settlement of coal mining troubles in Ohio, concessions being made by both contestants that resulted in resumption of work by 35,000 miners. Failures this week numbered 185 in the United States, against 195 last year, and 20 in Canada, compared with 29 a year ago. MORE TROUBLE FOR OIL TRUST.

From the attorney general, however gives notice that in all probability should the investigation he is still making justify it, he will bring further action against the Standard Oil Co. under the terms of the Sherman anti-trust law and also will take steps to insure against the continuance on the part of the company of discriminations in trade and transportation not now subject to prosecution under existing law, but especially provided against in the pending rate bill.

KONGO CRIMES Hundreds of Natives Murdered, Maimed and Tortured to Enrich a King — A Missionary Who Spent 45 Years in Africa Tells Truths. Six months before the first gun was fired upon Ft. Sumter, Rev. Dr. Robt. H. Nassau, then a young Presbyterian minister, set off to act as missionary in Africa. He spent all the years since then, in Kamerun, the German Kongo dominion in West Africa. Dr. Nassau has for years witnessed the horrible arocties of the white men upon the unfortunate natives, and has returned to New York with the report that conditions have not improved despite the soft promises of the royal slave masters of Europe. While he has not labored in the Kongo Free State rubber plantations, which are the peripheries of the Leopold of Belgium, he has frequently associated with missionaries from that brutalized country, and he speaks with authority. Dr. Nassau declares that the cruelty imposed by Leopold and the kaiser's representatives are unparalleled in the world today.—Editor The Cleveland Press. It is a great mystery to me why the civilized nations of the earth permit the atrocities upon the natives of the Kongo to go on. There is no pit in hell that can adequately punish the money-mad king of Belgium for his crimes. The cruelty of the soldiery of the kaler is almost incredible. King Leopold is holding off the world by saying that he cannot interfere with the interests of his people and by denying the reports that reach the outside world. Belgium legislators claim that nothing can be done because the atrocities complained of are upon private estates. The king owns personally the vast rubber properties where untold thousands of black slaves add more gold to his great fortune. He pacifies his people by building an occasional temple for their edification. The Wrong Goes On. That is the situation. The king and his legislators are both protected in their claims and the awful wrong goes on. I believe the kaiser is kept in ignorance of the abuses of his soldiers in Kamerun. I have faith in William. But the people of the country from which I come are slaves and worse. "Get the rubber!" That is the cry of the white man. They do not count cost so long as it is in the blood of humanity. In Kamerun they make slaves of natives by arresting them on trumped up charges. A town or tribe may resent the rule of Germany. Instantly orders are sent out to have the town burned and the men and women taken into captivity. These expeditions are really for the purpose of putting the natives into bondage to slave the rest of their lives gathering rubber for the enrichment of a great civilized nation. Awful Methods. It requires a good stomach to recount the horrible methods of punishment inflicted upon those who rebel. A soldier governor orders a certain tribe to gather 5,000 pounds of rubber in a given time. The native representative replies: "We cannot do that much work and raise food enough to live on." There is a flash of steel and the native's ears come off, his nose disappears or his hand is severed. A white trader will seize a good looking native woman. If her husband or brother objects death will be his lot. The allotment of work is always at the maximum. Failure means death by torture at the hands of brutal soldiers. Natives who are given authority are more brutal than the whites. One black lieutenant murdered no less than 100 men and women who had failed to gather the specified amount of rubber. He was tried, but the governor excused him after he had testified that all who were killed had refused to work at his personal command. Utterly Cowed. The people are utterly cowed in most districts. They fall upon their faces and beg for mercy when a white man appears. The treatment of the women is beyond public discussion. There can be no such thing as morals under such a rule. There is no means of escape for the GAZETTE. native, except by death, which thousands of them welcome. The only hope for their rescue lies in a worldwide protest which will compel the monster Leopold to practice his oft repeated false promises. I have faith that the truth will eventually reach him. I have a stop to the cruel methods of his soldiery.—Robert H. Nassan, in The Cleveland Press.

OUTRAGED WOMEN! Southern Rebel Soldiers Who Criminally Assaulted White Northern Women. Dear Editor—Indeed the truth of this shameful rape upon union white women by Gen. McGruder's confederate soldiers can never be destroyed or forgotten by those who were readers of the northern press. It is not a fabrication. It was just after the terrible Fort Donnelson massacre. I was serving at the time as recruiting officer for the 55th Massachusetts, being organized by Major Geo. L. Sterns, of Boston. I was in Indiana enlisting soldiers at the command of Col. H. Clay Condee. The southern heart was fired and rebel commanders were desperate. I remember well the shocking account given of this disgraceful affair as given out by the northern press, especially that as published in the New York. Tribune. Gen. McGruder's soldiers had captured a small town along the lines between Pennsylvania and West Virginia. At the approach of his army, the union men "suckedaddled," leaving the women behind. These women were defiant, violent and abusive of the soldier placed in confinement and subjected to criminal assault. For a while the whole north was aroused and strong men wept as they passed through the streets in their northern homes. The account is not a fabrication. The world will never forget the audacity of the act, though history refuses to record this, the most dastardly and accursed crime of all the centuries.

E. conferences throughout the country and a prominent member of that church, recently wrote the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger under the head of "Midnight's Musings," that he was at Normal, Ala., when Rev. R. C. Ransom, now of Boston, was there a few weeks ago. Mr. Stewart says he called on Mr. Ransom at the home of Prof. Councill and found him in bed with his shoes, hat and coat on, and that when he spoke to him Ransom got up staggering and acting like a man under the influence of whisky, and that he "smelt whisky on him." Mr. Stewart further says that at that time Prof. Councill did not know anything about Ransom's treatment on the train. Star's "Champs" won the game at League park Tuesday afternoon in the last half of the ninth innning, the E.C. C.'s holding them 2 to 2 until then. Decidedly the star of the game, however, was the E.C. C.'s pitcher. He overshadowed all so completely as to merit a better result. Both catchers and first baseman. Early and Fairfax, played well, especially the latter, but the second baseman of both teams seemed busiest side-stepping and ducking both thrown and batted balls, although each made one good catch—a thrown and a batted ball. Both of the "Champs" pitcheres were batted freely, Bright making the better showing of the two. Neither one, however, seemed in the class of the E.C. C.'s pitcher. Ragged fielding characterized both teams' work, though that of the "Champs" was the better. The Turners played well in the field and Ford at third for the "Champs" did good work. "Star" nearly lost his nose before the last half of the ninth innning, twitching it in fear of defeat, and the E.C. C. catcher got a, crack in the head from one of Bright's wild pitches that sent him galloping into dreamland for a time. He was game, though, and came back and finished the game. The only criticism that can be passed is that there was just a trifle too much youth by who played on both teams who showed on the field while in action. The umpire did good work. Ford immortalized himself and showed "good breeding" when he headed off the camera man who had been prompted by some "smart alek" (white) to snap the catcher and those who were trying to revive him while he was stretched out on the ground as a result of Bright's wild pitch. A good crowd was in attendance and included a number of women. $300 Subscribed. Findlay, O.-Master J. T.

All Indicted for Peonage. Cape Girardeau, Mo.—After a two-day investigation the federal grand jury called to look into the evidence on which charges of peonage had been preferred against New Madrid county farmers, reported two true bills to Judge Finkelburg of the United States district court. Every man arrested by United States Marshal Morssey and his deputies in the recent raid on the farm was named in the investigation, and the courttained 44 counts. Each represents the testimony given by an Afro-American said to have been held in slavery on the Smith farm. The large number examined is a surprise and is considered proof that the government is going thoroughly into the case. MAKE MONEY!

WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.

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 anything good to kill moth?' he asked, relates the Chicago Record-Herald. "Yes," said I, "we have moth balls, the best reedy 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 of the day before. After I had waited on my customers in their turn I walked over to another counter 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 me the thin things wistidy? 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 mon games I've run up against in me tome, this bates thim all, he said. 'To think of onone running a decent down-town store selling the lokes of thin things to kill moths with, or onanything 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 with, or onanything of thin balls quick enough to kill a moth I'll not only ate ivory wan of thin yez have in stock, but I'll say nothing about the picture the ould woman and meself broke in the faine little game yez would have us play." ODD HAPPENINGS. While scratching his nose with the end of a loaded revolver a man in Paris accidentally pulled the trigger and blew off the tip of the nose. In the midst of an electric storm the Mariette fire whistle called out the men, who rushed about in the rain till the apparatus was drenched before it was discovered that lightning had played a prank on the department. There is an ordinance against turning in a false alarm. The death lately occurred at Westbury workhouse, Wiltshire, England, of a 46-year-old "baby." The person was born in Westbury, and at the age of 12 months its further development, both physically and mentally, was arrested. Throughout its life it was attired in baby's frock clothes, and continued to act and play and had to be fed and tkken care of precisely as an infant. An extraordinary sudden death occurred the other day in Paris. A sexagenarian went to have his photograph taken. He sat in a chair before the camera, and as the photographer uttered the customary words, "Please don't move," down fell the old man on the floor. It was naturally supposed that the sexagenarian was in a fainting fit, but he was in reality dead, as the doctor who was sent for tentified after a brief examination of the body. No Such Temerity Meekly—Yes, we're going to move to Swamphurst. Doctor—But the climate there may disagree with your wife. "It wouldn't dare!"—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Nobody who understands the law of prices will wonder at a man making himself scarce when he feels cheap—Puck. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1906. TEETH THAT WERE USELESS Puzzle to the Man Who Had Suddenly 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 to go into the city every day, relates the Saturday Evening Post. Wilson was doing nothing but loafing. He loated artistically, and from time to time met and had fun with some of the natives of the place. One day he 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 survey and two horses. "Can you drive?" asked Wilson. "Sure," one of his sudden friends replied, "it am a fine driver." They got 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 vallantly steered the horses into a telegraph pole and Wilson and his two friends were thrown helter-skelter into the road. Wilson slowly gathered himself together. One of his friends was sitting if the ditch rubbing his brushes and the other stood in the middle of the road gazing in tearful misery at two front teeth which he held in the palm of his hand. "Pretty 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?" Give and Take "Gracies, my dear," said the first society belle, spitfully "I do hope you're not ill. You look so much older to night." "I quite well, thank you, dear," replied the other. "And you—how wonderfully improved you are. You look positively young,"—Philadelphia Ledger. You may have observed that dressmakers never seem to tire of their efforts to improve on the work of nature. There is always room at the top of course, but sometime it's a whole lot more sociable at the bottom—Puck. THE DOCTOR'S WIFE A trained nurse says: "In the practice 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 impossible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find Grape-Nuts and albumen water very nourishing and refreshing. This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful 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 nourishment that even the weakest stomach can assimilate without any distress. "My husband is a physician and he uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it many times for his patients. "Personally I regard a dish of Grape-Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the ideal breakfast for anyone—well or sick." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. In any case of stomach trouble, nervous prostration or brain fag, a 10 days' trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders toward nourishing and rebuilding, and in this way ending the trouble. "There's a reason" and trial proves. Look in pkgs, for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Our Pattern Department A DRESSY SHIRT-WAIST SUIT.

The Little Dog Laughed. A young lady was the object of much teasing on account of her rather unusual size. On one occasion she was playing tennis and jumped to strike the ball. A little man who was present laughed uproariously, and said: "That reminds me of the time when the 'cow jumped over the moon.'" Instantly she said: "Well, you know who laughed."—Stray Stories. Snake Knew Its Friends When the Devonshire regiment was in India, a snake was for many months adopted as a pet, and, though poisonous, it never attempted to hurt any member of the company. When the men returned to England this uncanny pet was left behind. Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. TERRIBLE ITCHING SCALP. Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands and Limbs—An Old Soldier Declares: "Cuticura in a Blessing." "At all times and to all people I am willing to testify to the merits of Cutiura. I saved me from worse than the torture of hides, about the year 1900, with wards and wards it commenced to break out on my hands. Then it broke out on my limbs. I then went to a Surgeon, whose treatment of wards aggravated the disease. I then took to a doctor who would go and see a physician in Erie. The reply was that I could go anywhere, but a case of eczema like mine could not be treated. I was then to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with results I had read of the Cutiura Cutiura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and I tinned taking the Resolvent until I had taken six bottles, stopping it to take the warm water, as now getting better, took two baths to wash the skin, and I let a father of the Soap dry on. I used the Ointment with great effect after washing the warm water, to stop the itching at once, and I treated it as a blessing, and should be used by every one who has itching of the skin. I care, say any more, and thank that I was able to such a curative. Wm. H. Gray, 336, V. Vermont St., Philadelphia, Pa., August 1, 1908. NOTES ON COTTON GROWING. About 70,000 bales of cotton is this year's crop of the Laguna section of Mexico. The Mexican mills will also require an additional 80,000 bales from the United States during 1906. The British charge in Guatemala has forwarded to London a sample of weevil-resisting cotton grown in the Retalhuen district of western Guatemala. It is called "Pachon," is a short-season cotton, productive and with a fiber of good length and texture. The Turkish minister of agriculture is about to buy 2,200 pounds of American and Egyptian cotton seed for the improvement of the quality of cotton raised in Turkey. The seed will be distributed in the provinces of Adana, Aidin and Salonika, according to the Levant Herald. The exports of raw cotton from southern Nigeria in 1905 declined to 36,306 pounds, having been 285,833 pounds in 1904. This falling off is expected to adjust itself during the present year, when the new plantations will commence to yield, state officials said, of the Nigeria protectorate. It has also been reported that there was some cotton to be shinned from northern Nigeria. Low Rates to California.

I have prescribed your Castoria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction myself and benefit to my patients." J. E. Waggoner of Chicago, IL. says: "I can most heartily recommend your Castoria to the public as a remedy for children's complaints. I have tried it and found it of great value." Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria in my myeloid leukemia patients, and have advised several patients to use it for my mild laxative effect and freedom from pain." Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its usefulness in nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, says: "I have used the medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advocate the criminal use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in children." Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the catecone of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprietary preparation. It is the most effective and children. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile alimentés." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me. says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merit. Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years you are recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage. St. Paul, Mina, says: "It affords me pleasure to add my name to the long list of those who have used and now endure the fact of the ingredients being known through the printing of the formula on the back of the book, and the recommendation of any physician. I know of its good qualities and recommend it cheerfully." The Kind You Have Always Bought In Use For Over 30 Years. THE CENTAUR COMPANY, 77 MURRAY ST, NEW YORK CITY. BEYOND OUR BORDERS. An official estimate places the acreage of timber in British Columbia at present at 182,750,000 acres. The number of quart bottles of champagne in the French caves last year was 109,968,363.

The British Zeitung am Mittag says that a Russian some time ago gave a ring worth $250 to a newspaper seller in the Friedrichstrasse for three copies of the Zeitung am Mittag. The period fixed by law during which the Russian could have regained possession of the ring recently expired, and the police have informed the newspaper seller that the ring is his lawful property. It is estimated that from 400,000 to 500,000 natives have died in Africa of sleepiness in the last ten years. The disease is, moreover, spreading with alarming rapidity, yet nothing is done to check it. The weight of opinion is that no person once infected ever recovers. Despite its name, sleep is not an important symptom, as it occurs only towards the end of the disease in a small number of cases. A curious case of museum robbery is engaging attention at Weimar. An agent offered some time ago to the Goethe-Schiller museum a series of Goetic manuscripts, which on examination proved to have been stolen from the museum itself. The agent explained that he had received them in the form of a quarion in Berlin. A search of the antiquarian's house brought to light many other documents belonging to the Weimar museum.

In common with other grateful ones who have been benefited by your discovery, I say, All hall to Peruna." Mr. H. J.
