Two Aguree stood out prominently In the picture, one of Btanford White, al ways seeking to drag the girl down, the other Harry Thaw, always trying to save her, to protect her and to try to lift her up As the trial progresses, one strange thing becomes mare and more apparent, and that la that out of the mire In which all the personages concerned In this case were sunk, there bloomed one white flower of purity and goodneee. as a lily might spring from a muck heap, end that was Harry Thaw's lavs for Evelyn Nesblt.

Somewhere his affection for her stuck down Its roots In his heart until It cams to where the eternal fountains flow, and he gives to her a love that baptises and redeems them both, lt Is a love so vast that It rovers her past with a mantle of forgiveness, so protecting that It seeks to shield her even from neraelf, ao tender and comprehending that ti might he -tha love of n mother brooding over her babe. No better nronf of this Is needed than the itteket of letters, some addressed to Evelyn by Thaw, some addressed to his lawyer. Mr. Longfellow, that were read at the opening of court. They were not good letters trom a critical, aplstolatory standpoint. They were bungling, frag mentary, disjointed, but they were the letters of a man not accustom'd to much writing, and who was helpless In the grasp of emotion which he did not know hotv to express on futper. Above all. though, they were moving and convincing human documents, breathing In every line of passionate devotion a high delicacy of feeling, and a reverence and pity for the woman hs loved, that knew no bounds.

Mr. Delmaa—the foxy Delmaa—got these letters Introduced to show that Harry Thaw waa of unsound mind, and wrote rambling love letters. Perhaps lovers are all-insane, hut It would be a mighty hard thing to get a verdict brought In to that effect. And the foxy Ivlinas did more, kept Thaw's girl wife telling over and over aseln-. the .details of .her. life, so that when adjournment of court' waa taken until Monday this pitiful story wee ell that the Jurors had to,think about for two whols days—Saturday and Bunday. for the court does not alt on Saturdays. Mr. Jerotpe will have a difficult teak In tryb the effect of Evelyn the Jury. FIGURE IN THAW TRIAL IT ELL KNOWN IN MACON Special to The Georgies Macon. Gn., Feb.

Our story printed on this page, and our editorial* have spoken of the needs and impor tance of this institution. • It is the "bird in the hand”— « Twenty-five women are struggling to keep it alive. A. G. Bhodea gave the beautiful block, worth $20,000 to $25,000, on which it ia located. The womqn. built the $13,000 building— , The city gives it $1,500 a year, about enough to light uud heat the home. The county pays 13 cents a day for each of its patients. Just now there is $14 in the treasury. There are 20 patients to be cared‘for and fed—five of them have consumption—some have canoer. There ia one child with heart trouble. There are paralytics and other*. Only two day and two night nuraea—a negro janitor, a cook and a helper—to do all the work. ■ No reaident physician, aud nothing with which to pay oqf. There were 29 conaumptivea taken care of last year, and Mrs. Jackson says that had it not been for the few pay patients, they would have had to elose up the home. There ia room to handle 40 patients, but they cannot make brioka without straw— Are there 100 people in Atlanta who will pledge $5.00 a month indefinitely to support this, the moat pitiful plea in our cityt We-believe there are, and wo believe this call will reach the hearts of our people.

With hardly anything to hope for In this world, with every reason to only the dark aide of life, they are cheerful—the strongest advocates In the world of the phlloaophy of Mrs. Wlgge of the Cabbage Patch.
