Whether tho testimony Is entirely true or not, we have no means of knowing. Skillful lawyers, long train Ins, thorough preparation with the arts of the actress might possibly do much to give the Impression of perfect sin cerity to a carefully constructed nar rative. Bat whether that testimony be true or false. It was most admirably and aldllfully rendered, and Its effect can not be over estimated upon an Amerl can jury. The story rings simple and tme, and the almost girlish simplicity and youth of the witness, we may be sure, added a thousand fold to Its Im pression upon those who heard It If only the description of the apart ments of Stanford White were true, and nothing else remained, It would serve to establish Harry Thaw's vic tim as one of the most accomplished, luxurious, admirably equipped rakes and libertines in any metropolis of aoy country In the erorld. "What business." the public may well ask, "had a married man of family for a luxurious home of bis own, with apartments fitted up In the tower of Madison Square with the luxuries of a Sybarite, and with every possible equipment tor the winning and wreck ing of women?" No one who reads this part of the testimony will fall to aed In the very picture of the various apartments from tho bed-ebamber to the banquet table of this married man's down town apartment, the equipment for the ca reer of temptation and ruin which he is reputed to have followed. And the mother of Evelyn Nesblt. carrying her daughter at the tender age of Id to pose as an ertlst’a model before .the Irresponsible bohemians of the art quarter of the metropolis, leav ing her In their hands for hours at a time, and then Anally going away to Pittsburg, with her daughter, scarcely half way In her teens, left under the sole protection.of a luxurious rounder with the reputation of Stanford White. If only half tbe story of Evelyn Nesblt Thaw Is true, It would surround that young woman with a degree of sym pathy and pity for the small chance she has had In life to make anything of herself or to do anything with a life so little guarded and so desper ately tempted as bars has been. The dramatis personae of this fa- mous trial loams altogether In the shadow, with tbe single exception of the mother of Harry Thaw, whaae loy alty and devotion will command the sympathy and respect of the world. COULD CttXAT BXITAIir BXATAHY THUS F0WXB8 AT BX|? Some official figures.published the othar day from The Loodon Times by Sir WlUIsm White end quoted In The New York Hun, indicate that at the present tinge Great Britain's sea power Is mors than equal te tbe com bined naviea not of any two, but of any three other countries In the world. This Is a degree ef superiority which tbe admiralty has not avowedly aimed at. and the fact that It nevertheless has been attained demon strates ths futility of Germany's efforts to vis with Great Britain on tbe ocean. The figures cited by filr William While cover the sis years ending on March tl, 1906. and compare the tonnage of first class battleships built and completed for sea by tbe United Kingdom, Germany, Prance and the United States during that period. Oreat Britain constructed vessels aggre gating 311,886 tons; Germany, 141121 tons; tbs United States. 110410 tons, and Prance. 44.216 tons. It Is obvious that ths assregste tonnage built during the sesennlal tilth by the throe countries lest nsnied fell short of the tonnsge created In the same time In the United Kingdom by 60,000 tons. It may ha admitted that the relative strength of navies should aot he measured by the amount of . tonnage added within so short s term es sis years, because the average period during which a battleship retains It* original eOcieney Is. about fifteen years. As it happens, the conclu sion deduced from Sir William Whltete figures Is confirmed by those of tbe Dtlks return, which gtvec the number of first cleat battleships constructed during ths 16 years preceding ’March 81. 1S0I. It seems that In that time Great Britain jiullt and completed for sea forty-six first class battleships, aa against eighteen credited to Oertneny, fourteen to the United States and eleven to Prance. That Is to say. Orest Britain built three more vessels of tbe type mentioned than did tbe other three powers together. If we compare the aggregate tonnages, British superiority Is more marked. The total tonnage of theft British first class battleships was 661,600 tons; that of tbs 18 German ships, 204,611 tons; that of the 14 American ships, lot,412 tons, tnd (bat of the 11 Prench ships. 127407 tons. It follows that the aggregate displacement of tbe first class bat tleships belonging to Great Britain ou ' Ibe one hand and to Germany, the United Btates and France on the other Is repreesnted by the dif ference between 668,600 tons and 191476 tons, that Is, by about 164,000 tons. In othar words, but for tbe toss of the Montagu, of 14.000 tons. Oreat Britain'* superiority as regards the aggregate tonnage ol first class battleships built In tbe period named to the combined tonnage of Ger many, the United States and France would have been equal to the whole tonnsge of that class of ships built In tbe Vnlte(l States during the fifteen years preceding March 31, 1906. Experts might say that tha relative efficiency of naviea cannot he judged by their relative displacement. In a paper read not long ego in the Boyal United Service Institution Lieutenant Carlyoo Bellsrs declar ed that tonnsge Is not an accurate measure of fighting strength. Nor Is It, because a vessel may have more displacement, but a weaker ar mor or armament. Nobody would pratand that a vessel like the Royal Sovereign, of 14,160 tons, launched In 1S91. Is a better ahlp than the -n«ne.ahi.«.d nf rinflow™,., i«nn»h.<t i n nu)i ti Bfr Winiam White has pointed out, however, displacement tonnsge Is s fair measure of tho misfire fighting capacity of two warships of even date, provided, of course, all tbe elements of fighting strength, namely, armor, armament, coal, endurance and speed, ere combined, as presumably at ths same dale they will be. to equal advantage. What la her* laid concerning Oreat Britain'* preponderance aa re gard* 11 rat data battleahlpa la true of her superiority In reaped or ar mored crulaera. Bo far aa theae element* of fighting atrength are concerned. It aeema demonstrable that she would be s match for Germany, the United States and France combined. It should be borne In mind, however, that her battleahlpa and armored cruisers art necessarily so scattered (hat for her concentration would prove a relatively slow and dlBcult task.

He declared that Mr. Gorman's co-laborers upon (lie senate committee on finance, molt of whom are now dead, all bore will ing wltnaaa to ibe fact that never was a modification made of tha tariff bill, and never a atep taken aa to Its revision, or an all*ration proposed or carried Into affect that bad not been unhesitatingly approved and Indors ed, and pleaded for and demanded "by those higher In authority than Mr. Gorman or myself, who afterwards saw fit to denounce It and brand It with the brand of perfidy." We an entirely In accord with our Charleston contemporary In the view, that even If these allegations against Mr. Cleveland are true, snd we have never believed them to - be true, they do not justify tbe Gorman amendments to the tariff Mil admitted In the face of tbe national Democratic platform of *98, denouncing the very protective Interests which were unduly regarded Id the Gorman tariff—In the face of tbe Iowa slate convention of 1199, and In face of the eloquent platform of (be Democracy of Massachusetts and Nebraska, while both Nebraska and Maryland Itself In the same year heartily commended the wisdom snd patriotism which have marked ths administration of Presi dent Cleveland and demanded the revision of the tariff. The singular and gratifying faotln connection with this long and per- slsteat malignancy toward Mr. Cleretasd Is that It seems to hav* no ef fect whatever upon his fame and popularity. Tbe ex-prestdent moves serenely along to hit great.place In history. In Ibe fall present enjoyment of the confidence and admiration of the great bulk of the American people.

BEOHmiNG OF THE FIGHT AGAINST THE WHITE PLAGUE The earnest sffort of The Georgian to arouse the people to a compre hension of the dangerous spread of tuberculosis, and to tbe necessity for sanitary pravautloa and remedy, culminated on Thursday afternoon In a thoroughly representative meeting of eoma prominent gentlemen who had been naked to aaaemble for a preliminary conference upon the subject. The meeting wee thoroughly earnest, snd those who composed It, both among the dtlsens and ths medical fraternity, were men or eucb force and prominence ae to give emphasis to their expressions. It waa notably evident that the puhltc nrtnd had been-very generally quickened to a realisation of tha danger of an even greater spread of this diseess under the carelessneta and apathy which prevails among the people toward It. The meeting was eminently successful In the feet that It created end expressed a profound Interest, and appointed a committee to confer with the other bodies, the chamber of commerce, the city council, the state and municipal boards of health and to ask from these bodies the appointment of cooperative committees to Issue e public address and to call for an other end larger public meeting to awaken further and wholesome Inter est In this groat aud all-important theme. Whan thla meeting Is called, we feel sure that It will be largely at tended, and that the results given to publicity will b* beneficent and help ful. ft wee never Intended to make this meeting the foundation for the building of any particular hospital, or the establishment of any particu lar Institution. Any result of that kind must grow out of It Incidentally and naturally and not by pressure or especial advocacy In any direc tion. The mluion of the movement Is in awaken the people to a sens* of danger, and to the enactment and execution of laws that will protect the public from the dissemination of germs through sputum recklessly depos ited In thousand* of localities where heat of steam or sun dries them and puts them Into circulation through the air which Is breathed Into the lungs ot the public. And out of this movement It Is hoped there will grow e campaign of education against the ipreed of consumption, and per haps e more general comprehension of Its remedy and suppression. And this movement will not be abandoned until these results have been. In pert or In whole, attained.

By CnOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. 0 New York. Feb. I —The tragic death of Lady Dorothy Cutbbert. who waa accidentally shot- and killed by her husband during a pheasant shoot last k at Beaufront Castle, has called public attention to the remarkable ee rie* of tragedies that hav* befallen the earls of Strafford and their connections tn recent years. lady Dorothy was a daughter of ths present earl of Strafford, who succeed ed to the title on the death of tbe fourth earl of Strafford, who married Mrs. Samuel Colgate, of New York. Eight years ago the fourth earl met a tragic death by accidentally (oiling under a railway train not fsr from London. While standing on the sta tion platform at PotteFs Bar the earl was seised with a fit and fell to ths tracks. The Cambridge express came whirling along at the same time and the earl's body was decapitated and mangled almost beyond recognition. The present earl owes his title to a tragedy. The third earl, wbo died In 16(6. was without male Issue, hla two ■one having died within a short dis tance of time from on* another. The he eldest eon waa ting tragical. He was traveling wit father In the Mediterranean, and my»- tertously disappeared from on board the ■htp somewhere between Gibraltar and Malta, the presumption being that he must have lost hla balance and fallen Into the sea, no one being with him at the time of hie disappearance.
