This shrewd move it is said is intended
to block the prosecution putting

COULDN'T BE BLUFFED.
The Judge Raited, but the Culprit
Promptly Called.
A correspondent spuds In the follow
ing account of no incident which oe
cunvd lu his presence In a Kentucky
courtroom:
Under U10 laws of Kentucky the
Dcualtr for tintiihiir I a Mn, rr,n
f.H) to r0. Judge W. W. Jones was
holding a term of circuit court, nud
wlwn the case of the commonwealth
of Kentucky against Puulel Cross was
called lie asked Oiiulcl If lie had a
lawyer to defend hint, PniiTel said ho
bad not, and Judge Jones asked him
what he wanted to do about his case,
which was a charge ofmilng.
"I dou t know, hardly, Judge," said
tynulel. -I thought I would Just pay It
off."
"Were you actually pluylugr said
the Judge.
"I guess wo were." Daniel replied.
"About how muck were you playing
for, Daniel r the Judgo asked.
"Oh, nothing uiucli," said Daniel,
"Just a nickel or dime on the corner."
"Well, Daniel." said the Judge, "I
will see your dime and ralso you $2f."
Daniel looked rather crestfallen for
a moment; but, catching the force of
the Judge's remark, be Quickly looked
up at the Judgo and said. "Well, Judge,
I am satisfied that you hare got me
beat, bo I'll not ralso you, but I guess
I will have to call you." Law Notes.
EXPENSIVE BOOKS.
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.

CIRCULATES MILLIONS.
Emigrants Returning Home Forced to
Disgorge Hoards.
XKW YOltK, Jan. 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.
