In the recent debate In the Senate on the question whether to describe the war ef secession as a "rebellion” or a “civil war," to which we have already referred. Senator Bacon In the course of his speech, said: "Some time, I think about tbs year IttO—I have forgotten the exact year—there was a vary re markable libel case tried In the city of Boston, In which Daniel Web ster waa the prosecutor and a man whose name I have forgotten, a prominent man, was the defend ant. In that suit tbs prosecution was based on an alleged libel against Daniel Webster, the great advocate of the doctrine of the supremacy of the Union and the great advocate of the maintenance of the Union. There cou:d have been no case in which he could have been more directly Interested or In which every utterance must have challenged his attention, be cause the prosecution—It" was not a civil suit, but a criminal prose cution—grew out of an alleged libel against Daniel Webster, charging him with having been in active sympathy with those promi nent Influences in New England which opposed the war of 1812 and threatened secession on account of that war. "I have a book, unfortunately not now at hand, which was sent to me from a gentleman In Boston, Col. Benton, who prepared a his tory of that libel suit. In which there Is not only a narration of the suit, but there are also copious extracts from the record, among other things, of the argument in the court, the opinions of the court, etc., and in the course of It, with Daniel Webster an interested par ty present, the fact is stated not as an individual opinion, but as a conceded fact and principle of the Government. I think by the court, or in the argument in the progress of the case, that it was the right of a State to secede; and Daniel Webster present and the proposi tion having a most material bear ing upon the case In which he was ao deeply and personaly interested, and neither he nor any other per son present challenged the state ment that auch was a generally conceded proposition.” The book referred to by Senator Ba con la a monograph written by Joslah H. Benton, Jr., (Goodspeed, Boston, 1904), entitled "A Notable Libel -Case” and Is the story of the criminal prose cution of Theodore Lyman, Jr., by Daniel Webster in the Supreme Judi cial Court of Massachusetts, November term, 1828. The attention of one of the editorial writers for The Telegraph waa recently called to this interesting reproduction of forgotten records by Mr. Chailea Francis Adams, of Massa chusetts, who delivered the Lee cen tennial oration at Lexington, Va., on the 19th of last month. The interesting passage referred to by Senator Bacon will he found on page 90 and occurs in the argument of Samuei Hubbard, who defended Ly man, and who waa afterwards a justice of the Supreme Court of Massachu setts. His assertion, which apparently was not challenged by any one, was as follows. "A confederation of the New England States to confer with each other on the subject of dissolving the Union was no treason. The several States are independent and not dependent. Every State has ■ right to secede from the Union without committing treason.” For this reason, Hubbard argued, the accusation made by Lyman against Daniel Webster could not be regarded as libelous. The well known charge of John Quincy Adams that from 1807-8 to the end of the War of 1812 the lead ing Federalists of New England were engaged in plots to sever their section from the Union was referred to at this trial. 'Being one of the leading Feder alists and an early disciple of Timothy Pickering, Webster was included in the charge made by Mr. Adams. Professor Van Tyne in his recent "Letters of Daniel Webster” has shown that the great New Englander, speaking on the floor of the House at Washington dur ing the War of 1812, intimated that. If driven to it, his State would defy the Federal Government and secede from the Union. When Webster "threatens that the State Government will inter fere,” pointedly observes Professor Van Tyne, "we wonder if Hayne and Cal houn went any further.” The suit against Lyman in 1828 indicates how sensitive about his early record Webster—then and ever thereafter a champion of the Union—had become. The record of the trial in the book referred to shows that the Jury disagreed and the case was dismissed. Senator Bacon might with point have added that Massachusetts threatened defiance of the Federal Gov ernment as late as 1844-5 in the reso lutions of its Legislature on the sub ject of annexation of Texas. Review of Thaw Trial Up to Date By JAMES H. MOORE. The first week of the Thaw trial has passed with varying fortunes fully as sensational and pyrotechnlcal as any one could have expected. The tedious work of selecting the Jury having been finally concluded the previous week. District Attorney Je rome made a quiet but masterly pre sentation of the case of the State against Thaw, showing to the jury in the briefest way the cool, deliberate, apparently unprovoked act of Thaw walking up on White from behind and without warning shooting him down, firing two bullets into him after be was dead, in order to make sure of his work. Having averred in the indict ment in the time-honored words of the law, that the prisoner took White’s life deliberately and with malice afore thought, it was only necessary to show the simple facts of the killing, as the by his poetic pleader that he put him In charge of the "conduct of the case, unceremoniously displacing the Napo leon of the “unwritten law” trans planted from California who had held himself in reserve to take up at the proper stage the conduct of the case along the lines upon which Thaw's chances for life really lay. Gl.eason was not fortified with either facts, wit nesses or technical knowledge to es tablish his arbitrary theory of tempo rary and single subject insanity. He led off with a presumably expert wit ness who was as illy qualified as him- so:f both in facts and technical knowl edge of the subject of insanity, to sub stantiate the theory and they both fell into the trap that the wary Jerome had ready for just such a situation and which they should have foreseen, but did not. Jerome had studiously qual- national bank notes—we had In the country in the fall 'of last year nearly $7,300,000,000, less the 8337,000,000 1“ the treasury. We had a per capita cir culation of J33.OS, or nearly eight dol lars more than the abundant circula tion of 1896.” ■•H-H-i-H 1 i-H ■l-I-I 'l-I-H-l 1 H-l-H-fr Caught on the Wing -H- -l-M-M-I-i-l-l'H-i'H'l-l-i-H- By JOHN T. BOIFEUILLET. There are thirteen thousand dollars ($13,000) worth of memorial windows in the magnificent new St. Joseph’s Catholic church, in this city. They are all beautiful, but some are more elaborate than others. The colorings and finish are exquisite, the product of the finest art. Biblical Incidents, scenes, figures and groups are por trayed upon the glass; some are very impressive and teach enduring les sons. For instance: One that shows our Lord as a child in the work-shop of St. Joseph might serve as a regu lar kindergarten for the children of the church—an object lesson. And then side by side are Saint Aloysius and Saint Berchmans; the former was prince and heir to the throne of other was the great abbess of many monasteries in Ireland. The following windows are In the left nave of the church, extending from the transepts: St. Peter Clnver, S. J., who had special care over negroes. Is upon the window given by Mrs. S. L. Taylor. He was a favorite apostle. The window given by the Dingier family represents St. Vincent of Paul, founder of the Sisters of Charity. The window with St. Veronl-ca was the gift of Mr. and Mrs. M. Callahan. This Saint holds in her hands a towel with the Imprint of the Lord's face upon it. When our Savior was on His way to Calvary bearing His cross He sank to the earth exhausted, from the weight of his burden, and His face was covered with sweat. One of the women who met him in the way wiped His face with a towel, and the imprint of the face was left upon it. erected. Father Wlnkelrrii has bee at this church since isss.

Astonished to see her bending under the weight of her burden, he asked her what she was carrying. She replied “Roses.” He opened the mantle which she kept pressed against her, and found in it nothing but beautiful red and white roses, although it was not the •aw would infer the malice, under these ! ified himself to discuss the subject of ■ Italy, but he resolved to leave the al- i season for flowers.

The life of Saint Joseph, from his espousal to his death, is rep resented upon five of these windows. The center window, showing the death of St. Joseph, In the company of Je sus and Mary, was given by a friend of the church. The window at the right, showing the nativity of our Lord, was the gift of Miss Amelia, Henry, Julius and Ed ward Horne. The window at the left, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Burke, represents the annunciation. The espousal of St. Joseph to the blessed Virgin Mary is upon a win dow erected by Miss Josephine Greene City Mules and Farm Mules.

His chief grief seemed to be that she would fall into | the hands of some heartless farmer.

Discussing the appropriation by the House of 11,000,000 for the Jamestown Exposition, with rulings safeguarding Its return to the Treasury, the Wash ington Post says: "It Is now certain that the celebration of the founding of the American nation will be on a sca.e worthy of the historic Importance of the event and of enduring benefit to all Americans who flock to the Old Do minion to see with their own eyes the marvelous contrasts between the past and the present which will be visible on every hand.” The Exposition man agement will be pushed to employ the money to advantage within the limited time. The appropriation should have been made long since. There has been much said and writ ten about the "unwritten law,” but it was not until quite recently that any one had ever essayed to definitely set it forth or codify it. Judge Thomas J. Kernan, of Louisiana, in an address before the American Bar Association last summer on the “Unwritten Law” enunciated ten cardinal laws of this "Jurisprudence of lawlessness,” which have no pi:ace in the statute books but which, nevertheless, In so many cases shape and dictate the verdict of juries. The two laws of this decalogue bearing most approximately upon the Thaw case are given here because of the large part that the "unwritten law” will play in the trial and its determina tion. They are as follows: LAW IT. Any man who commits adultery may be put to death with Impunity by the injured husband, who shall have the right to determine the mode of exe cution, be it never so cowardly. LAW in. Any man who seduces an Innocent girl may, without a hearing, be shot or stabbed to death by her. or any near re.ative of hers, and If deemed neces sary by the slayer, such shooting or stabbing may be done in the back, or while laying in wait. There are some distinctions that must be broadly stated ’before Thaw’s case Is brought under these outlawed statutes. The injured husband is pre sumed to have the right to avenge his present wrong, but haw No. II does not ha\e any retroactive provision which J ba ] r of his precious carcass may be reaches back to a time when the hus band was not and had no rights. On sanity and the effect the teMing of It to Thaw Is alleged to have had to drive him mad? The one essential fact re mained that it would go to the jury and nothing could ever erase it from their minds. They would lose sight of Thaw and his crime in the enormity of White’s murder of a soul. What booted It that he might pick the story to pieces, mayhap force Evelyn out of her own mouth to confess she had lied again and again In the construction of her story to meet the case? White Is dead. His lips are closed. He cannot rise from the tomb to defend himself against the woman who once called him friend. Possibly he would not If he could. Who knows? He had his sins—black ones possibly—but not as black as painted. Not black enough to add one straw to the infamous or deal which Thaw, out of alleged love for his wife, has subjected her to in the effort to rescue himself from the pen alty of his crime. White was human In his frafAIes—human doubtless in his better traits. It is very possible to conceive of him destroying the body of Evelyn Thaw for his pleasure, but to drag her woman’s soul through the hell and grime of a public avowal and exposure to a gaping world to save himself from the penalty of his sins, it is easy to believe he was too much of a man for that That remained for the spoiled boy who never was denied any thing; who coifid not take his own pleasure without adding to others’ pain; who is still the spoiled boy at 36; who cannot let his own lawyers con duct his case without capricious In terference; who cheerfully involves his entirely family connections in a plea of hereditary Insanity and bares his wife’s shame to a maudlin puttie that not one Mr. Crutchfield's br Upon the window over the main en- i Adams and others, used to send the r trance of the church is Hoffman’s pic- 1 mules out to the firm of tne tlir of - VI > _ « ' YTrt _ aIA Vir-Kn* filirl AT 1Y> by Mr. Pa Over S one of the entrance doors is a j preparatory for the winter’s work.

The erriggiiag Gear* 1* labeled “Crum.” the contrary, the civil law has a maxim which bids the buyer beware of a questionable contract, and Thaw was fully advised of the character of the transaction into which he entered with open eyes. Neither would Law No. IH appear to cover Thaw’s case, as at the time of the alleged wrong done Evelyn Nesblt by White Thaw did not stand in any of the relations requisite to qualify him as her avenger. To plead this law woU:d also imply a retroactive pro vision to which it makes no pretense. However, the court trying Thaw does not, as before stated, recognize these laws although It is highly probable the whole case will turn on them in reality. Mr. Gleason, who mad* the prelim inary address for the defense, stating the grounds they would go to trial on and the facts they expected to prove in support of them, disavowed the "un written law” plea and built up in his own mind and outlined to the Jury a defense constructed on the theory of Thaw’s hereditary tendency to insanity being wrought on as a result of White’s conduct and excited to a pitch where he truly if Illusively regarded White as a "demon glaring at him” and one whom It would be pleasing In the sight of Providence for him to re move. Thaw was so pleased with the fanciful and unreal picture presented singed or one moment of his vicious freedom curtailed. And all this in the name of the "unwritten law” usually invoked by supposedly manly men to protect the weaker vessel. In the transept before the altar of the Sacred Heart of Jesus are the fol lowing windows: One, representing the agony in the garden of our blessed Lord, with three of His apostles, was erected by Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Cusson, in memory of their young son, Leon, Who was drowned in the Ocmulgee river a few years ago with Gordon, the son of Mr. Jerome B. Pound, of Chattanooga. A gift, by Mr. John Lacey, shows our Lord blessing the children. The apparition of our Lord to tho blessed Margaret and Mary, is shown upon the window given by Mr. T. C. Dempsey and family. The window portraying the appari tion of our Lord, after His resurrec tion, to Mary Magdalene, was the gift of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Schoneman. Saint John reclining on the bosom of our Lord at the last supper, is shown upon the window erected by Mr. Dugei Fern in memory of his father and mother. In the transcept before the altar of the Blessed Virgin Mary are these windows: The first one In order Is a gift of friends of the church, representing the apparition of the blessed A r irgin Mary to the shepherdess at Lourdes. Next comes the window given by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Sheridan, Il lustrating our Blessed Lady, at the age of three years, being presented by her ■mother in the temple to the high priest. The assumption of our Blessed Lady into Heaven appears upon the window erected in memory of Mr. and Mrs. A. McKenna by their children, S. E., William, Nora and MacSelino. This window is from the famous painting by Muriilo. The Sodalities of the Blessed Virgin Mary gave a window representing Saint Dominic receiving the rosary from the Blessed A r irgin Mary. Our Lord as a child In the work shop of Saint Joseph, is the scene upon the window presented by Miss E. A. Ward. THE MONEY WE HAVE. "Have we enough money?" asks Harper’s Weekly—meaning, of course, as a nation. In 1896 the amount of money in the United States was equiv alent to 825.62 a head, while only 821.44 of this was in actual circulation. That is. the business, pleasure needs, and extravagances of the country had use for about four dollars less than could have been had from the banks and the treasury. Since then the vol ume of money 'ha3 Increased, both In this country and In Europe, and the volume of business also. “In the mere matter of coin, the United States is coining annually about 8300,000,000 in gold; Great Britain, nearly 860,000,000; Australasia, a littie more than Great Britain: France, about 835,000,000; Germany, about 825,000,000; and Ja pan, more than 830,000,000. In this country the amount, on the 1st of Oc tober, of gold and silver coins and cer tificates and of United States and na tional bank notes, was 83,148,735,532. Besides the actual money in the coun try, there were in the banks Individual deposits to the amount of 84.199,938,310. If we add to this amount, against which checks could be drawn—and checks constitute currency as well as In the right nave of the church, ex tending from the transepts to the prin cipal entrances, are the following win dows: First, Saint Patrick, illustrating to the King and Queen of Tara, through the three leaves of the piece of sham rock which he holds In his hand, the doctrine of the Trinity and the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost This window was erected by Mr. W. P. Doy:e in memory of Mr. P. Doyle and family. Saint Alphonsus Liguori, a great doctor of moral theology, is the sub ject upon the window given by Mr. and Mrs. M. O’Hara, Air. and Mrs. Ignatius Daly gave a window having Saint Antony of Padua with the Infant Jesus in his arms. The gift of the Cassidy Brothers is a window containing the figures of Saint Rose of Lima, and Saint Agnes. Saint Rose has the distinction of be ing the only American saint represent ed on any of the windows in St. Jo seph’s church. "This lovely flower of sanctity, the first christened Isabel, but the beauty of her Infant face earned for her the title of Rose, which she ever after bore. As a child, while stiil in the cradle, her silence under a painful surgical operation proved the thirst for suffering already con suming her heart. At an early age she took service to support her im poverished parents, and worked for them day and night. In spite of hard ships and austerities, her beauty ripened with increasing age, and she was much and openly admired. From fear of vanity she cut off her hair, blistered her face with pepper and her hands with lime.” 'She was forever do ing pennance.

Wronkow bought the property last August from the Roosevelt Homo Club, an organization formed to pre serve it on account of its associations. The club bought the house in 1905 and used it as a club house, and several meetings were held in it to raise sub scriptions to pay off a mortgage given to cover the purchase price of $60,000.

On the evening of her wedding day, with the music of the marriage hymn ringing in her ears, Cecilia, a rich, beautiful and noble Roman maiden, renewed the vow by which she had consecrated her vir ginity to God. The death appointed for her was suffocation, and she remain ed a day and a night in a hot-air bath, heated seven times its wont But "the flames had no power over her body, neither was a hair of her head singed.” The lictor sent to dispatch her struck with trembling hand the three blows which the law allowed, and left her still alive. For two days and nights Cecilia lay with her head half severed the pavement of her bath, fully sensible, and joyfully awaiting her crown; on the third the agony was over.” The ladles of the Altar Society, and the League of the Sacred Heart gave the window, St. John and St. Andrew.

As a con sequence the public did not respond’ to the appeals, and the club was glad to sell the property to Air. Wronkow at the price he bought it for. At the time the club was soliciting subscriptions It was charged that Its officials were using the names of prominent men without their consent to swell the net amount. Representative Herbert Parsons took an Interest in the plan at its start, but he soon dropped it. Scarcely enough money was raised to pay the expenses of the club for stationery and postage. When the Roosevelt Hocne Club sold the house it did so with an option to buy it back any time within three years. It is understood the last sale is subject to that option. Between the lower windows are scenes beautifully Carved In Carrara marble representing in fourteen sta tions the passion, or way, of our Lord from the palace of Pilate to the sep ulcher.

St. Joseph's church cost as It s'-inds about one hundred and fifteen tho sand dollars ($115,000.00.) The church now has only three hells, but these will be returned to the fac tory and a chime of twelve bells will be obtained, which will play almost any thing. They will cost $6,600. Father Joseph M. Winkelried is the frithful priest in charge of the parish. He is a holy and much beloved man. By his earnest labors this magnificent new SO. Joseph’s church has been , Porcelain Houses Coming. London Cable New York American. The dweller in glass houses may be a more or less Tabular idea, but the dweller in a china house will soon be a common personage. The home of the future will be built of porcelain. It is now possible to build cheap, simple and cleanly houses with, sheets of porcelain instead of bricks and slate and concrete, and to dispense with paint, wallpaper, and spring clean ing. The porcelain used for building this Utopian house is produced by a new metn- od, in sheets about an Inch thick, but equally as strong as a brick wall. It is made of a mixture of Cornish clay and French flint bowlders in certain propor tions. The raw material is worked into a liquid state, then pressed and rolled into sheets. When dry the sheets can be decorated in colors, by hand or by a printing process. The final process is glazing and firing used in the ordinary potter's trade. Glazed on both sides, the porcelain walls reduce construction and interior decoration to simplicity itself. The out side and inside walls of the house have decorative schemes burned into them in delibly before the house is put together. Cleanliness Is one of the greatest merits of the porcelain house. Water and wash- leather only are needed to replace the annual household terror known as "spring cleaning.” r Lonely In New York. From the New York Sun. “Lonely in New York!” exclaimed the little woman. "I was never less lonely in my life. Before I came here from the West I thought I should probably never make any acquaintances, but. on the contrary. New York seems to me to be the easiest place in the world to ge ac quainted. True, you may not know your next door neighbor. Acquaintance does not go by locality here but by similarity of tastes. If you can get the tiniest open ing wedge, in the shape of a club or a church guild or a charitable society or a political history class, the whole of that world receives you. If you play bridge, or even euchre, you can make acquaint ances at once. You need not even wait for invitations. There are places where bridge is played for charity. Those are available to any lady who cares to buy a ticket, and there she will make many acquaintances. New York hostesses seem to me amazingly hospitable. I have known more than one of them to Invite entire women’s clubs to receptions, when perhaps they had never seen or heard of a large number of the women." Set Fire to Carload of Paper. From the Baltimore World. Nicolo Donata, driving a junk wagon loaded with scrap paper, jumped off at One Hundred aod Thirty-eighth street and Willis avenue, yesterday afternoon, to chase small boys who threw snow balls at him and hit his horse. One small bc.y sneaked back and set fire to the paper. Somebody ran to a fire box and called the engines. , . . . The fire engines rushed up. whistling and clanging, and Nicolo turned and Saw his wagon afire. The small boys danced around and sang. The horse became frightened and ran away. Small boys, grown-ups. Nicolo and the fire engines chased after it. The horse outdistanced them and got to-One hun dred and Forty-third street, where a po liceman stopped it. and the fire engines poured water on the fire. There was nothing left of tho scrap paper and the wagon; but what broke Nicolo’s heart was to see that his good horse had all the hair singed off his tail. The small boys escaped.
