ESPIONAGE OVER HARRY IS CONSIDERED Stanford White's Slayer Recentty Got Lost While Fishing, But Made No Effort to Escape Refugee From Matteawan Quietly Waits at Gorham, N. H., for the Next Move in His Long and Strenuous Fight for Liberty. Gorham, N. II. Harry K. Thaw, who la quartered horo with his secretary nnd two bodyguards, appointed by tho court to see he does not escape can walk out of his hotol, Jump Into an au tomobile and fleo practically any tlmo it suits his mood. Apparently, however, the slayer of Stanford White, whoso extradition to New York stato and roturn to tho stato hospital for tho criminal tnsano at Harry K. Thaw. Matteawan is sought, has no deelro to quit Gorham. Whether this Is becauso ho bollovca tho cdurts will ultimately froo him or ho Is content with his sur roundings, 1b problematical. Whon tho village thawed out last May, White's slayer packod his bag gaga and came horo from Concord with Sheriff Holman A. Drow, in whoso chargo ho had been placed; Deputy Bhorlff C. D. Stevens, assistant to Drow, and II. J. Rico, who for somo timo has acted as Thaw's socrotary. A suite of four rooms and bath had been engaged for tho party on tho third floor of tho Mount Madison house, and hero they havo slnco enjoyed Ufo pend ing tho noxt legal movo in tho famous case. Gorham waB selected as a summer headquarters from which to direct Thaw'B "liberty campaign," because it Is but a fow miles from Berlin, tho homo o? Sheriff Drow. Tho sheriff is an elderly, stout and good natured of ficial whoso duties do not appear to weigh heavily upon him. Ho spends such tlmo as suits his convenience in the Thaw suite and tho balanco whero ho pleases usually at homo. Bodyguard Stovonu Is a bit moro at tentive to his chargo, but his cares havo not whitened hts hair. Possibly tho only timo ho has been at all wor ried was a fow days ugo whon Thaw got lost on a trout fishing trip. Ho otruck in nt ono point on Nineteen Mile brook and Stovons on another. Along about nino o'clock In Uto eve ning, when nothing had boon heard of Thaw, tho deputy sheriff callod up tho hotol and a searching party was or ganized. ThlB was led by Rico. With tho aid of lanterns Thaw was found about two o'clock In tho morning seated on a rock In tho middle of tho stream calm ly and with good senso waiting for somo ono to como for him. Ho wus hungry and wet, but not otherwise the woroo for his experience. Ho might havo been dcoply buried In tho Malno woods by that hour had ho beou so Inclined. This oplsodp, aa well as others, is protty good proof that Thaw can escupo If ho is so mlndod. Gorliam is a smart little summer ro sort In the Androscoggin valley, and Is one of tho gateways to tho White mountains. Tho Huzo range flauks It in the rear, while in tho front rlso tho twin peaks of Mount Mudlson, and tho fharp crags of Carter, the Imp, Sur prise and other peaks of Carter range. " IN- TWO SECONDS Si . 3JIr. K. IN HI OF JOKE Roads and paths radlato from it like spokes In a wheel. When Thaw first camo hero all tho year round residents ovlnccd groat curiosity In tho slayer. Not knowing tho symptomB of paranoia, they expect od to seo a veritable madman, wild oyed and at least crazlly erratic. They wore dlsnppolnted. It Is true that Thaw today has tho same staring oyes which havo marked him for years and that he is orratlc, but ho hasn't como up to expectations by a long shot. So after n tlmo thoy gave up paying much attention to him. Visitors from tho city ore equally curious upon their arrival, but their lnqulsltlvonoss shortly subsides. Thoy And Thaw to bo very much llko tho other guests, savo that ho Is some what oxclusivo. Much of his tlmo Is spent in offices ho has established in tho Noyes building, centrally located In ono of tho fow streets this llttlo vil lago boasts. Tho rest of his day is occupied In autoipoblllng, Ashing and tramping. Thaw recently bought n flve-pnssen-gor car. Tho report that ho mixes with tho gueste and takes them on ils outings is erroneous. ,In truth, this is quito contrnry to the facts, as, with but ono excoptlon, his parties havo been mado up of tho sheriffs, his sec retary and himself. Tho exception has to do with a tramp up Mount Washington early In tho month. This was mado ovor tho northern end of tho Presidential range by way of Crystal Cascade trail and was uneventful. A friend from Con cord mado up tho fifth member of the party. Tho Jaunt proved Thaw to bo as hard as nnlls and an excellent can didate for tho Alpine Climbers' so ciety. Thaw Is too busy with Ills "liberty campaign" to pay much attention to tho gucstB of his hotel or to tho resi dents of tho placo. Ho has the repu tation of being uniformly courteous to women and to such men ae seek his acquaintance, but ho seldom seeks an Introduction on his own account. Ho prefers to remain In the background, which Is unusual In vtow of IiIb past performances. Tho refugeo from Matteawan 1b a fair trout fisherman whon It comes to landing flsh in'MooBo river, Nineteen Mile brook and Peabody's rlvor, but what ho would do with a trout ovor eight Inches long can't bo prophesied, for tho reason that thoy don't grow William Travers Jerome. any longer than that up hero. Whon ho UbIiob, Stevens goes along, but ho whips a different section of tho brook, that bolng the way of real Bportsmen. Every onu around Gorham is under tho Impression that Thaw has an in como of $100,000. It Is known that ho has Just como Into over $160,000 from his father's cstato. Tho amount of his Income has been Industriously and nn mysteriously circulated, but not by Thaw. Whatever tho flguro may bo, Thaw is not spending as large amounts as tho natives hoped he would. He payB woll for what ho gets, but he doesn't want much. Ho lives on the samo fare tho oth ers get, nnd there Is no reason why ho shouldn't, li vlow of its excellence. Ho patronizes tho local stores when ho happens to need what thoy can supply,, and when thoy fail him ho sends to New York or Boston. It is nn excel lent guess he hasn't expended much for clothing, for ho is fairly slovenly In appearance. At any rate, If ho has bought much apparel ho hasn't eeen fit to wear It. Dr. Austin Flint, alienist for Now York stnto In tho Thaw trials and hearings, and William Travers Jerome, chief of the state's prosecuting officers, have Bald Thaw's-great danger !les In alcohol. They havo stated to tho courts that should the slnycr take so much ae ono drink, especially of cham pagne, he would likely enough again develop homicidal tendencies. Thaw hasn't had a drink slnco he camo here, although ho has had plenty of opportunities. There is a bar in the hotel for guests, and wines and liquors may bo had on tho table or in tho rooms. So far as can be ascertained Thaw has never been in tho bar nor has ho had intoxicants sent to his room. Ho Is now a total abstainer. His one vice, it it can bo called a vice, Is smoking. Outsido tho fnct that he doesn't drink nnd is more moderato in his speech, Thaw doesn't seem to havo changed much slnco tho dnys when ho was n well-known character on Broad way. He Is still nervous, nrrogant, ex citable and suspicious. His mandatory nnturo continually assorts Itself, but ho can bo winsome If ho chooses. It Is unquestionably a fact that Thaw Is trying his best to conduct himself properly and to win support In that way. In a measure ho Is succeeding, but tho natlvce will never condone his offenso ngainst society. Somo have no hesitancy in thus declaring them selves, but a good many bellevo ho has been nmply punished. Others openly declaro ho should bo returned to Mnt teawan to spend tho balanco of his lifo. Thaw expects tho next movo In his fight will bo mado in September. Ho Is optimistic as to the outcome, and the chances aro ho will remain hero quietly to await results. If ho has reason to change his mind ho will have no difficulty In escaping. TEXAS FAMILY AT CAPITAL Daughter and Grandchildren of Post master General Burleson Spend Summer In Washington. Washington. Mrs. Richard Van Wyck Nogley and her two llttlo sons Mrs. Nogley and Children. aro the daughter and grandchildren of Postmaster Genoral Durleson.

Sho wns walking In tho Tullorlea gardens, whero onco stood her splen did palace, nnd picked a flower from tho bordor. An attondant saw her and said: "Picking flowora is strictly forbidden. I muBt report you." Ho demanded her name and address and sho unswored timidly: "Eugenie." Tho attendant was struck by tho melancholy aspect of tho nged woman and rolontcd, saying: "That Is not a name. Howovor, never mind this tlmo, but do not do It again." Woman Causes Riot on Beach.

CUILLE DlUe Tnctitr, Eiteniion DrptrtiDCDt Mood liibl Institute, Qjictgo TEXT Then the soldiers, whon they find cvttclfloil Jesus, took his ferments and mado four parts, to every soldier a part: end nlso hts coat; now tho cont was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore nmoiiK hemsolvjB, Lot us not rend It, but cant lots for It, whose It Bhall be. John 19:23 21 Tho only legacy of material things which Josub Christ loft on earth was his gar ments. And theso, being tho common costumo of a Gall lean, displayed his poverty and tho simplicity of his lifo. Though ho was God, by ,whom "were all thingB made" and who "upholdoth all things by tho word of his pow er," as man ue woro tho clothing of a poor artisan. Do "ye know tho grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, vet for your sakes he becamo poor, that yo through his poverty might bo rich?" It w.i3 customary for tho Roman eoldlers, who officiated at nn execu tion, to tako tho garments of their victim as a foo. But, though n Ro man custom, unknown In David's time, It was written by him in the XXII Psalm, "They part my garments among them, and cast lots Upon my vesture," and In the words following tho text it Is explained thnt what tho soldiers did was "that this scripture might bo fulfilled." So tho spirit of God writes It down as a part of Holy Scripture, that whenever tho story of tho cross Is told, tho story of Jenus vesture must bo told also, for that seamless robo that must not be rent is tho flguro of another robe, who can doubt? Tho full heart of the prophet sings of it, In Isaiah CI: 10, "I will greatly rejoice In the Lord, my soul shall be Joyful In my God; for he hath clothed mo with tho garments of salvation, he' hath covered me with tho robo of righteous ness." This is that "best robo" which the father puts upon tho prodigal to displace tho rags of tho far country and to make him fit for tho father's house. For Whom Provided. And for whom is this robo provid ed? Kor his enemies. Tho soldiers whoso hands aro stained with his blood, who with wicked insults havo nailed him to tfeo awful cross to them his "vesture" fajla. '.'When we were enomies we were veconciled to God by the death of his nr." (Rom, 5:10). As Tha sandal tree perfumes when riven Tho ax that laid It low So The very spear that pierced His side, Drew forth tho blood to save. How Provided. Tho meaus by which "tho robe of righteousness" is provided aro pic tured in Eden. Adam and Eve have "sowed fig leaves together, and made thomsolvea aprons." Awakened to the shame which sin has wrought thoy would by their own efforts patch up tho ruin. With their own sinful hands they would coyf the naked ness which sin has made manifest, and so make them wives fit for tho UrfHCTjca of God. Hut, not by that mis erable Invention can thoy stand be fore him. And in grace ho comes to provido garments for thom. "Unto Adam also nnd to his wlfo did tho Lord God mnko coats of skins, and olothod thom" (Gen. 3:2l). Hero Is tho first emorgonce of tho truth of vicarious atonomont: thoso animals must needs die, their blood must bo shed, In order to provido a covering In which tho man nnd tho woman could bo accopted of God. And it is God who did it! With his own hands ho mado thoso "coats of skins." Who Receives It. In Provorbs 16:33 It Is written: "Tho lot is caat into tho lap, but tho w&olo disposing thereof la of the Lord." That Is, tho casting of tho lot meant that tho cholco was in God's hands. What, then, is his "dis posing" as to this robo of righteous ness? Lot tho apostlo answer: "But now tho righteouBUoss of God without tho law is manifested, being witnessed by tho law nnd tho prophots; oven tho righteousness of God which Is by tho fnlth of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all thom that bollovo" (Rom. 3:21-22). Tho righteousness of God Is offered to all, It Is put upon the bollover; held out to ovory man, given to whoever will rocolvo It. I,who have no right eousness of my own, do but look upon that blessed one hanging on tho cross and say, "It was for me 'Tho son of God loved mo and gnvo himself for mo,' " and Uiub receiving him by faith am "mado tho righteousness of God lu him." No angel can say "Christ 1b my righteousness," but tho poorest, fee blest believer in htm can say it! O soul, hast thou this robo? w t&M&S&&M&W$ I - & " Don't ihlntc you havo a corner on the troubles mnrlcpt. I could mention sev eral vnrlotlcs you've never even heard of. What you need Is tho philosophy of cheerful anduranco. Then you will begin to accomplish. Lloyd. GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE.
