Teniremen remain and the third hunJred of the original special venire reported this morning. It is probable that a second venire of 300 or 400 men will be issued by the court today. One of the attorneys who has been conneoted with the case almost from the night of the booting stated last night that he be Eeved that it would require at least two weeks longer to secure a jury which would be perfectly satisfactory to both ides. The night sessions which Justice Dolling has insisted upon add two hours a, day to the time of the court and al though they are trying for the attorneys who are devoting all their energies to this most important stage of the trial the extra hours will materially shorten the time' required to obtain the jury. Later. XEW YORK, Jan. 8. Work of secur ing a jury in the Thaw, case was half completed when the court adjourned to aight before 0 o'clock. The original Tenirc of 300 men having been exhausted the customary night session was not held. Two hundred additional talesmen have been ordered to report tomorrow Morning. Besides the ix men to whom the oath has teen given, there are to night three additional provisional jurors in the box thee lieing subject to peremp tory challenges The defense has now nscd eleven of its 30 challenges and the prosecution eight. The defense is so conducting the ex amining of jurors as to impress upon them if the defense introduce evidence tending to show Thaw was insai.e on Ithaca Friday night the night of the tragedy the burden of proof will fall upon the shoulders of the district attorney and he must prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the de fendant was legally sane. Thaw's attorneys today furnished the first big surprise of the trial by admit ting that several alienists who testified in behalf of the prosecution in the first trial, and who declared, when Jerome made his plea for a lunacy commission, that they believed Thaw so insane as forgeries and that thousauds of poor people are being swindled each week by fake concerns which pay a small prize here and there to keep up interest in their enterprises. Postal Inspectors say that in spite of the utmost vigilance of the state and department officials, a considerable number of tickets from the big lotteries in Germany and South America find their way into this country. Their number is small, however, com pared with that of the Fictitious con cerns Prices That Prevailed Before the In- vsntion of Printing. In the present day it seems very strange to read about the prices of books before the Invention of printing. King Alfred gave a very large es tate for a book on cosmography. In the year 1174 Walter, prior of St. Swlthln's at Winchester, purchased of the monks of Dorchester, ' In Oxford shire, "Bede's Homilies" and "St. Aus tin's Psalter" for twelve measures of barley and a pall on which was em broidered In silver the history of St. BIrlnus converting a Saxon king. About the year 1400 a copy of John of Meun's "Itoman de la Hose" was sold before the palace gate at Paris for 40 crowns, or about $175. The Countess of Anjou paid for n copy of tho "Homilies of Ilalmon," bishop of Haiberstedt. 200 sheep, five quarters of wheat and the same quan tity of rye and millet. In 1471. when Louis XL of France borrowed the works of Ithasls, the Arabian physician, from the faculty of medicine at Paris he not only deposit ed by way of pledge a considerable quantity of plate, but he was obliged to procure a nobleman to Join with him as surety In a deed binding him self under a great forfeiture to restore the books. 1j my.

The Parisian men are not likely to grumble at being asked to dine In dress clothes In any particular London restaurant, for they have In Paris one dining place where this unwritten law has always been enforced. No man ever goes to dine at the Armenonvllle In the Bols de fioulogne without put ting on his dress clothes.

S.-.Mthough the it ii ruing emigrants took on! of the country a sum estimated by steamship managers to have been not less than $1 10,(KHt,0O0 last year, the annual migra tion is held by heads of the big steam ship companies to be a benclll and not a detriment to the country. "It releases and puts into circulation a large sum of money," said Custave II. Schwab, of the Xorth-Cerman Lloyd Line. "This money has Ix'en saved up und the trav eler is forced to pay it out in, railroad anil steamship fares, baggage transfers and living expenses on the way to the seaboard." Mr. Schwab's estimate is that no less than i);.,000,000 was paid in 11)07 by travelers for steerage accommodations on Atlantic liner. Of this sum fully $15,000,000 was spent by homeward bound aliens, is the estimate of steam ship men. In-coming aliens are esti mated to have brought upwards of $27,- 000,000 into the country during the year. JOHN FOX, Pres. F. U BISHOP, See, ASTORIA 8A VINOS DANK, Treat. NK.LSOS TR0YER.
