The first thing of note that Harry
Kendall Thaw of Pittsburg, who re¬
cently shot and killed Stanford White,
the famous architect, on the roof of
the Madison Square Garden at New
York, ever did was to begin smoking
cigarettes when he was a lad In knick¬
erbockers, says the New York World.
HU mother tried to stop him, but
could not When he went to Wooster
university. In Ohio, In 1887, his addic¬
tion to this form of smoking was so
great that tbe other boys nicknamed
him “the cigarette fiend.” Harry was
lazy and indifferent to any form of
study. Full of the assurance that his
father’s wealth and his mother’s rich
gifts to the university protected him,
he devoted much of his time to play¬
ing pranks that were astounding in
their freakishness, but never vicious.
The only form of exercise for which
he cared was lawn tennis, and this he
pursued with great application.
President Scovel of the university
sent for the boy one day and sadly
urged him to go to work.
“It U your mother's wish,” he added.
“Tell me what branches of study_you
Intend to follow.”
“Oh, I’ve chosen all right, all right,”
said the heir to millions, and he pulled
out a gold cigarette case and opened It
“And what might your choice be,
pray?” asked the Rev. Mf. Scovel.
"Penmanship and lawn tennis,” said
the youth as he struck a match and
blew rings of smoke Into the face of
the university president
It was only a week after this that
young Thaw decided to lay aside his
chosen branches, penmanship and lawn
tennis, for the time. He fled- to Eu¬
rope, wiring back that he had gone
over to get some cigarettes. He re¬
turned In a month and was not chided
or sent from school. Harry brought
back to the university several trunks
fuU of cigarettes, which he distributed
lavishly among his friends.
The fledgeling millionaire became not¬
ed for his attentions to girls, especially
to girls in theatrical troupes, and occa¬
sionally he got into scrapes on account
of them. Once he got into a fist fight
over a girl. He was always lounging
about the Wooster theater or the hotel
In which the show girls stayed. On
one occasion he persuaded all the girls
In a comic opera company to wear
garters and bows of the college colors
during the performance. Tbe act made
a hit with the students.
Young Thaw was sent to Princeton
lu 1894, but he did not take life seri¬
ously enough and he never was grad¬
uated. He made many friends, who
still refer to him pityingly as a good
fellow. When he left college In the early
nineties he returned to Pittsburg and
devoted himself still more seriously to
having a good time. '
Long before this, of course, he had
learned to drink. One night he walked
through a big plate glass window In
the Hotel Imperial In New York. He
paid well for the window, of course.
The Incident was considered a great
bit of humor. No important arteries
were cut, and the young man was con¬
sidered to have had a very good time
indeed.
His wildest escapades while drinking
happened In Pittsburg. He would visit
the local Tenderloin with a party of
friends, close up the houne and fairly
wallow In champagne. His excesses
and abuses Included all manner of vi¬
ciousness. He would remain in a house
for days at a time, and when he had
tired of it, would give the proprietress
a check for the amount of his bill. It
was these checks constantly coming
Into his mothens hands which so wor¬
ried ber. She could not help but know
how the money had been spent.
Young Thaw often came to New
York on visits to attend to the Impor¬
tant business of having a good time,
but he never forced his way Into print
until he arrived in Paris In May, 1900,
and gave a dinner that cost 850,000 In
honor of Llane de Pougy, Nellie Neu-
stretter, Anna Robinson, La Belle Ote¬
ro, Cleo de Merode and other noted
beauties. The dinner was served In a
restaurant In the Champs Klysee, the
most who expensive In Europe, chef kept by a
man was once to the czar.
All that Thaw insisted upon was that
the dishes and the wines should be the
costliest possible. In this project he
had the hearty co-operation of the pro¬
prietor. The souvenirs were trinkets
of diamonds, pearls and sapphires.
This dinner gave young Thaw a fine
status In the world of people who
spend all their energy In having a good
time. He returned to Pittsburg pres¬
ently and further distinguished himself
by losing 840,000 one night In a game
of poker. At 7 o'clock next morning
he wrote checks for all the other play¬
ers in the game. (The cashier of the
bank refused at first to honor the
checks, having heard that they were
for poker losses, but Harry Thaw gave
him an angry lecture about “honor,”
and the checks were paid.
Thaw’s famous $50,000 feast in Paris
was duplicated In New York with
more beautiful women and a greater
disregard for the conventionalities. It
was followed by a feast at Sherry's at
which Thaw was the host and Miss
Nesblt. now Mr. Thaw's wife, the
hostess.
The exact cost of that entertainment
never has been revealed, but it is
kuown that the order was given to
spare no expense either in the prepara¬
tion of the menu, tbe decorations or
the favors. Miss Nesblt selected tbe
guests, and she took care to bring, tb
getber beauties to outshine the Paris¬
ian collection and .Its replica In the
Tenderloin. She called the girls to¬
gether and gave them full Instructions
as to costume and makeup. There were
only six men In the party besides Har¬
ry Thaw. The young women were the
pick of the stage beauties then In town.
After coffee had been served there
was a vaudeville performance, in which

Six months earlier she had tried to kill
herself because Harry Thaw would not
marry her. JT year later the young

traordinary revelling at the Moulin
Rouge, a private exhibition of tbe
Grand Opera ballet, a tea party at the
Cafe Madrid, with Llune de Pougy and
ail the other great beauties, etc.
From Port Huron, Mich., where Har¬
ry Thaw’s brother, Joslah Copley
Thaw, two years ago married Miss
Mary Harrington Thompson, with Har¬
ry as best mao at the wedding, cam*
a story recently describing one of
Thaw’s typical escapades which now
are brought forward by his friends as
proof of insanity.
With a party of Pittsburg friends,
Harry Thaw was stopping at tbe Har¬
rington hotel. The young men from
Pittsburg had a lively time from the
start, but tbe climax came one evening
when Harry Thaw bought out the Ho¬
tel Harrington bar for $350.
The cash register was thrown out
and the bartenders and attendants
were Instructed to fill all orders, but to
accept no money for the drinks they
served. All callers were welcomed.
The patrons were mystified at first
when their money was refused, but got
used to It very soon, and nearly all
the masculine population of Port Hu¬
ron called at the bar that night.
MAN EATING STURGEON.
Bor Swimming In Allegheny River
Seised by Huge Fhk.
A gigantic sturgeon created a panic
the other afternoon among a crowd of
boys who were swimming off Pater¬
son’s coal float In the Allegheny river
at the Pittsburg end of the Sixth street
bridge and nearly drowned one of
them, Bays a Pittsburg special dispatch
to the New York World.
When the fish came among the boys
they shrieked and swam for the land¬
ing. Tbe fish tried 1o head them off,
but all reached the boat In safety ex¬
cept William Wtderselm, n ten-year-old
lad. Before he could get out of the
water the fish grabbed him by the
right leg and was dragging him to tbe
bottom when Jacob Miller, the watch¬
man of the coal float, attracted by the
cries of tbe boy, ran to tbe spot and
pulled him aboard.
The fish clung on until It was drag¬
ged halfway out of the water. Miller
seized a baseball bat lying on tbe float
and beat the fish over the head until It
was dead. It was only after life was
extinct that Its big teeth could be ex¬
tracted from the boy’s leg. An Alle¬
gheny physician dressed the boy’s
wound.
The fish measured almost six feet
•nd weighed elghty-ulne pounds.
COLLEGIAN’S LONG WALK.

L. G. Hall ofChieago, a freshman at
Trinity coHege In Hartford, Conn.,
who has won laurels this year as a
pedestrian, will put himself to a su¬
preme test In attempting to walk a
distance of 1,200 miles over rough
country roads in less than a month,
says a Hartford special dispatch to the
New York Times.

Michigan. He was accompanied on
his first day’s journey, In which be

astic crowd of his classmates. Hall ex¬

The first society fad of tbe season at
Newport was Introduced the other
morning by Miss Mildred Sherman,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs, William
Watts Sherman, white driving her fa¬
ther to the Wlckford boat, says the
New York American.
Miss Sherman, who Is a clever whip

tantes, with her slater, Miss Irene
Sherman, wore a heavy double veil of

eat* side of her hair, the veil spanning
le face and leaving an opening for
eyes and forehead, a fashion much
ln N gvldence with the women of Malta
and Tqrkey.

made plalk by the presence of ber fa¬
ther and sister, together with tbe hand¬
some and hlglKstepping team of horses
which are so Wqll known In Newport.
The new fad attracted no little atten¬
tion and bids fair to becorrfe popular
among the younger set-ufJ>yewport.
Novel Experiment in « Mine.
A party of American, mining engi¬
neers In Mexico have arranged to take
photographs by sunlight on June 21 at
the bottom of a 2,000 feet deep shaft
at Somhrerete, state of Zacatecas, says
the New York Sun. The town Is off the
tropic of Cancer, and at meridian on
iune 21 tbe sun’s rays fall vertically,
so that tbe mine shafts are illuminat¬
ed to the lowest depths. The Illumina¬
tion lasts about three minutes, the light
entering a hole In the'roof of the head
house and making tbs shafts so light
that a person standing over the shaft
can discern small objects on the floor
of the 2,000 foot shafts. At the sum¬
mer solstice the light comes suddenly,
shining straight down the shafts, giv¬
ing rainbow effects to tile spurting
waters of the mine leaks and paling
the electric lamps. In three minutes
the sunlight disappears for a year.

BENSON NO “DARNED FOOL"
“All a Park of Lira That He’* to Re-

Senator A, W. Benson of Kansan,
who recently took the oath of office as
Joseph R. Burton’s successor, declared,
according to a Washington dispatch to
the New York Herald, that he was not
tbe “darned fool” western dispatches
had represented hint as being.
"It’s all a pack of lies,” said the new
senator, "that I ever said 1 was com¬
ing here to reform tbe senate. And
that does not mean I bad Intended to
do so when I left Kansas anil quit
when I got here and smelled petroleum.
If the senate Is going to be reformed
I don’t think I will have any hand
In It.”
“What about your remark that it
would be a good thing for the senate
to have one honest man In ItY” the sen¬
ator was asked.
‘‘l,e t he who is without sin cast the
first stone!" replied Mr. Benson. “1
never said I was an honest man while
all the other senators were rogues.”
’•Were i-on delayed long In Kansas

“Just one day. They make clothes
quick in Kansas. How do you like the
cut?”
The cut of Senator Benson’s nett
Is all right. The suit Is a frock
and a pair of mild striped trou¬
sers.
Senator Benson attracted-considera¬
ble attention and was Introduced to
the other senators, who welcomed him
warmly. He had to bp introduced also
to most of the members of the Kansas
delegation in the house, few of whom
had ever seen him.
Mr. Benson joined the class Of sena¬
tors known as the “Short J-eggors.”
'Hiis means exactly what Jt says.
There are several senators whose bod¬
ies are long and whose legs are short.
These Include Messrs. Alice of Dela¬
