FfMGW THAW Fay Tincher Also Acquainted With Stanford White. Tells of Latter Sending Her Hunches of Violets. DIDN'T KNOW HIM WELL Had a Season Box at the Weber Music Mall. Sent Loads of Flowers to Girls in the Company. One Topeka girl has the distinction of an acquaintanceship with the princi upals in th New York tragedy that is occupying the attention of the world at thi.i time. Miss Fay Tincher, of No. 122 Tyler street, is at home. Her rapid rt.ie in The theatrirf.I world since entering the chorus oC "The Prince of Pilsen" three years aeo. is well known. She is now jayin,g important pa) ts with the com pany at Weber's music hail. Miss Tincher was acquanted with Stanford White, the famous New Tork architect, who met a tragic end at the hands of Harry K. Thaw, the young Fiushurg millionaire, and she also knows Thaw. She talks with reluctance of the principals in the Madison Square Oarden tragedy, but declares in the most matter of fact manner that she knew both of the men. 'My acquaintance with them was limited," she adds. "Everyone in New York knew Stanford White. However, .1 had only a speaking acquaintance with him. The same was true of Mr. Thaw. I was better acquainted with Kvelyn Nesbit. while she was on the stage and before she was married to J-iarry Thaw." Miss Tincher declares that she will r.ot be a witness in the court trial of Mr. Thaw when it comes off in Oc tober because she has never been a fruest at any of the studio entertain ments for which Mr. White was famous, t "To teil the truth I know but little cf the things that have filled the pa pers lately. I do know, though, that there are loads and loads of scandal, the details of which I have no knowl edge, that will shake the very founda tions of the social world of New- York city when this case comes into court. "Mr. White's brother, who is taking the leading part in the effort to convict Mr. Thaw, is immensely wealthy and influential, and he will do everything in his power to secure punishment of I-Jr. Thaw. "Everyone about the theaters in Kew York knew Mr. Wnite and Mr. Thaw. Mr. White bought a seat for th? whole season at Weber's music hall, and almost every night he was to be seen in the same place. He didn't always stay for the whole performance, and his seat was always vacant on opening nights at the other theaters. "Stanford White sent loads and loads of flowers to the girls in our company. Often costly pieces of jew elry would be hidden in the bouquets. "He often sent me bunches of violets, but it seems he always forgot to enclose anything from the jewelry ghopR."

Chicago before opening in New York city. The Weber company will present "Twiddle-Twaddle" on the road trip, and rehearsals will prepare a new piece for presentation at the New York opening. Miss Tincher wears a stunning gown in "Twiddle-Twaddle," which rah all of last season in New York. It is a handsome green tailor-made garment and she wears a monstrously large green hat to match.

A recommendation that every public library in this country- should be equipped with books intended to help immigrants to become citizens was made to the American Library asso ciation today by James H. Canfield of the Columbia university law library. He said: "Immigration to this country has become so enormous and is affecting so directly all the conditions of urban life that we must assimilate these people by the most rapid methods. It is a mistake to consider their presence a menace. There ought to be in every public library in every city of any size at least the classics in several lan guages, to win the confidence of these people and to draw them to these libraries. Once there they should find elementary text books in civics and other literature that will be helpful to them in their new relations, translated from Knglish into their own language. In other woras. securing mem as pat rons of the public library by their own classics, we should minister to their needs precisely as we minister to the needs of our own people. No such texts exist, even in English. It is this very point upon which discussion ought to turn what this association may be able to accomplish in the way of preparing or securing the prepara tion of such texts." Noted Poctor Dies. . Washington. July 6. Dr. C. H. Stites. of the public health and marine hospital service, today received notice of the death at Oenoa of Dr. Fritz Shaudins, of the imperial German health office.

Twenty-four new names were added to the Civic league yesterday. Josiah Jordan is going it alone now. Some people state that you can en joy only one attack of chigres during a season, but the word of truth is not in them. About two hundred of the poor chil dren of the city were given a picnic at V.'newood park today by the Salva tion army. James and Will Stewart left yester day for a fishing and hunting trip to Canada. The boys will be gone for some time. , .The Independent Telephone com pany is now putting in their conduits on Sixth avenue and the pavement across the avenue is all torn up. A scarcity of children on Kansas avenue prevails today. The Salvation army has taken them all out to Vine wood and will show them a good time. The Topeka ball team certainly has a lot of hard luck. After taking three out of the four games at Joplin they drop three straight on their home grounds. At a Fourth of July celebration in the country where there was dancing in the barn, a phonograph was used to furnish the music, and it did it in a most acceptable fashion. The book agents are getting higher classed than ever. One came into the city yesterday who claimed that he was an Italian count, could speak 48 languages and . write 208. No one asked him to prove it.

WHEAT IN GRAHAftV Governor Hanna Says Crop Will Be About 40 Per Cent. "Our wheat crop in Graham county will be about forty per cent on the acre age planted," ;aid Lieutenant Governor David Hanna, who was in the city for a short time today. "With a seventy thou sand acreage this ought to make the crop yield about a half million bushels as it will thresh out an average of from twelve to fifteen bushels an acre. This is not a record crop for the county f y any means but we are satisfied with it under the conditions which have pre vailed. The straw is not long but the wheat is of excellent quality and I don't believe there is any in the county that will grade below No. 2. "Present indications are," continued Mr. Hanna, "that, we will have a bum per corn crop out there. In fact the corn is in excellent condition through out western Kansas and it looks a good deal' better there than it does in the Kaw Valley. The alfalfa crop in Gra ham county has been exceptionally good, and taken all in all the condi tions in the county are most prosper ous."

Every Sufferer from Rheumatism Should Read This Statement of a Grateful Wcman. Rheumatism can be inherited and that fact proves it to be a disease of the blood. It is necessary, therefore, to treat it through the blood if a per manent cure is expected. External ap plications may give temporary relief from pain but as long as the poisonous acid is in the blood the pain will re turn, perhaps in a new place, but it will surely return. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism because they go directly to the seat of the disorder, purifying and enriching the blood. Mrs. Henry Cota of West Cheshire. Conn., is the wife of the village ma chinist. "Several years ago," she says, "I was laid up with rheumatism In my feet, ankles and knees. I was in con stant pain and sometimes the affected parts would swell so badly that I could not get about at all to attend to my household duties. There was one period of three weeks during which I was confined to the bed. My sufferings were awful and the doctor's medicine did not help me. "One day a neighbor told me about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to try them. After I had taken them a short time I was decidedly better and a few more boxes cured me. What is better, the cure was permanent." Remember Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do not act on the bowels. They make new blood and restore shattered nerves. In this way they carry health and vigor to every organ and fiber of the body. They are sold by all drug gists, or will be sent, postpaid, on re ceipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50. by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. COPPER THIEVES BUSY. They Are Playing Havoc With City Lighting Plant. Copper thieves are playing havoc with the circuits of the city electric light plant. They have already made way with several blocks of copper wire and have not yet been apprehended. One time they may have cut several hundred feet in one location, at another they may have stolen as many feet on the opposite side of the town. It has become so marked that linemen are sent out and a test made of the circuit several times during the day to see whether any breaks exist. The trouble started during the first big wind storm about ten days ago. A strand of wire which had been grounded by the high wind was discovered cut off by pliers when linemen went to make repairs. From that time on the acts of the copper thieves beoame more and more frequent. Finally they surpassed all their efforts by making way with two blocks of copper wiring in North Topeka. This seriously crippled the service until the wiring could be re placed. "The thefts have cost us pretty dear," said H. K. Goodrich, superintendent of the plant. "Copper is expensive and there is a very ready market for It." TURKEY REPULSED. Her Troops AVill He Withdrawn from Persian Frontier. Constantinople. July fi. Turkey"s attempt to seize further territory on the Persian frontier has been check mated by the governor of Pushkar who repulsed the invading force of 300 Turk ish regulars and 700 mounted Arab reg ulars with considerable loss to the raiders. The council of ministers here has now instructed the Turkish com mander. Zekki Pasha, to withdraw his troops from their most advanced posi tions and to avoid further causes for a rupture with Persia. TOPEKA MEN'S INVENTION. It Is a Sewer Cleaner That Will Really Clean. The credit of inventing a sewer clean er which has been able to successfuily clean sewers in Topeka where trials of eastern sewer cleaning firms proved failures belongs to Wm. King, assistant city engineer, and Chas. Wingert. The two are associated together in the in terests controlling the machine. Though built on very simple plans the machine was given a trial on the most difficult piece of sewer cleaning that exists in the city, the sewer at Ninth and Quincy streets. In just one hour and forty min utes the debris was all removed to the satisfaction of interested committee members of the city council who were invited to watch the trial performance. The sewer was partially choked with dishes, towels, pieces of brick, and a sediment of tar. Eastern firms made an unsuccessful attempt to clean this same stretch of sewer about a year ago. The machines patented by King are made in sizes to correspond to the sewer in which they are to be used. King wants the city to assume the cost of patenting his invention and will then in return make a satisfactory arrange ment with the city for its use. It is probable that the cleaner will be used extensively in the sewers of the city, a number of which are badly in need of a cleaning. AN I NTKR ES TIN G BOOK.

MEAGHER DEAD. SiUe Was a Descendant of a Line of Notable Ancestors. New York, July 6. Mrs. Elizabeth M. J. Meagher, widow of General Thomas F. Meagher,' who led the famous Irish brigade in the civil war, is dead at her home in Rye, Westchester coun' v, of heart disease. She was born in South field, Orange county. New York, in 1&30, and wts a daughter of Peter Townsend. Mrs. Meagher's great grand father made the chain that was stretched across the Hudson during the revolution to prevent the British from ascending the river above West Point. Her grandfather was the first man in the country to make steel rails. Mrs. Meagher met her husband in this city while he, an exile from Ireland because of his connection with the pat riotic league there, was becoming fam ous for his oratory. Mrs. Meagher at tended her husband during the civil war and was with him at the first bat tle of Bull Run. She succeeded in nurs ing him back to health when he was given up for dead after the battle.

Meagher had divers hunt for his body but never found it. ,- - - HAS NOT PAID A CEXT. Vienna Insurance Company Has Made Xo Move to Settle frisco Ijoss. San Francisco, July 6. The Exam iner says: The Austrian-Phoenix, an old estab lished insurance company of Vienna. Austria, has so far not offered to adjust a single loss nor has it even admitted liability, although its policies are of standard form and contain no earth quake clauses. Concerning its attitude and affairs, Herr Witt, a representative from Europe, siates: "Insurance peo ple are sadly misinformed concerning the San Francisco conflagration and its causes. I have suggested an ad justment of losses under the principles laid down in the resolutions adopted by the New York conference." ' One hundred and sixty-five settle ments that have been effected by the fire insurance companies, indicate that in the business section of San Fran cisco more than .$100,000,000 will be paid in coin to fire losers on the face of the adjustmlnts made on losses that have already come before committees. The average adjusted loss in the 166 instances mentioned is J84.325, the total payments being $14,000,000. The sound value of 166 properties is given at $19,000,000 by the adjusters. Con sequently the reduction for earthquake damage and for all other causes in the adjustments is $5,000,000. OX TWETVE YEAR TRIP. Silver Trowel Reaches Chicago on . Journey. Around the World.

The impos sibility of forming a coalition ministry together with the strength developed by the government in the council of the empire (upper house of parliament) evidently has had the effect of tempor arily prolonging the life of the Goremykin ministry and also has re sulted in the postponement of the em peror's contemplated cruise in Finnish waters.
