'Story of the Race.
With new faces in the Ut of candi

who have been entered the fourth day
of the Palladium and Sun Telegram
Jamestown, Exposition contest be
speaks a most successful race. One
thing which shows especially the pop
ularity of the contest is that up to date
most of the votes cast, have come
spontaneously from all parts of the
city and county. As yet the candi
dates have not fully organized and be
gun a systematic effort to land the
rrlze. Next week will see this phase
of the contest begin in earnest. From I
then on there will be greater interest
than ever. '
Just now a few of the candidates
are-, laying their plans for an active
campaign for votes. They are work
ing on the theory that it is good to get
an early start. ' A word spoken to a
friend early. in the game will, get his

ASSETS IN EXCESS
OF THE LIABILITIES.
Effort to Enlist Additional Cap
ital Was Not Successful Al
though the Location Is Con
sidered a Good One.
Saturday of this week the property
of the Richmond Hat Manufacturing
company, which has had a strenuous
existence since ' its organization, two
or three years ago. will be sold at pub
lic sale. All the valuable machinery,
fixtures, stock on hand, etc., will be
put under the hammer.
It is stated that the liabilities of
the company amount to $7,500, and
the assets are estimated at $1S,000.
About one-third of the creditors are
local people. The other creditors are
mostly eastern men of whom the ma
chinery was purchased. It is expect
ed that air the creditors will receive
the full amount of their claims.
Mortgage for Creditors.
About a year ago the company
nearly went into the hands of a re
ceiver, but it was finally decided that
the company execute a mortgage in
favor of its creditors. Officials of
the company thought that within a
year's time this mortgage, which was
held by .a trustee, W- K- Bradbury,
for the creditors, could be lifted and
that the concern could then continue
business unhampered of its financinl
burdens. The time ; for paying thi3
mortgage expired -ttte for faur weeks
ago, and the company had been un
able to lift it, consequently Trustee
Bradbury reached the conclusion that
the concern was a losing venture, so
he had the mortgage foreclosed.
An Unprofitable Venture.
It is stated that the Richmond Hat
Manufacturing company proved an un
profitable venture owing to the insuf
ficient capital invested in the con
cern. Frank C. Kibbey is the princi
pal stockholder, and president of the
concern. At the time the mortgage
was executed in favor of the credit
ors of the concern, it was thought by

TRUSTEE BOWMAN'S PAPER.
HE GIVES HIS IDEA IN REFER.
ENCE TO A SUCCESSFUL TEACH
ERPOPULARITY NOT ALWAYS
A TEST.
At the April meeting of the town
ship trustees, held at the office of the
county superintendent of schools,
there was a general discussion of the
school laws passed at the last session
of the legislature and which went into
effect on Wednesday. All these laws
were carefully explained to the trus
tees." Some of the new acts met with
universal favor but others were not
favored.
L. S. Bowman, trustee of Jefferson
township, read an excellent paper on
"My Idea of a Successful Teacher."
Mr. Bowman, said in part: "Appearan
ces are often deceptive. The popu
larity of a teacher in a certain dis
trict is not an absolute guarantee of
excellence. It is possible for a teach
er to go into a school and by reason
of agreeable social qualities gain the
respect and confidence of most, or all
of the pupils and patrons of the dis
trict and yet not be an excellent tea
cher. .
Reasons for Failure.
"Indeed the teacher himself, in the
absence of any friction or criticism,
may think of his work as being very
successful. " They may all be for the
the time mistaken. On the other hand
a teacher' may go Into a new district
to teach "and the fact that he does
not do just like previous teachers did ;
that his personality is different; that
a few patrons were opposed to him
because he did not belong to their
church, or lodge or club, and that they
knew a third cousin or his who has a
bad reputation all these reasons may
temporarily cause a low estimate to be
placed on the teacher's work and abil
ity, when in reality he may be doing
most excellent work, almost wholly
unappreciated
Popularity is usually
but not always a safe guide in meas
uring the -value -of a good teacher."

By the Jurors, Who Bat

THAW MAKES
A STATEMENT
(Bulletin)
New York, April 11 Judge
Fitzgerald announces he will
expect the jury to bring, in
some kind of report by six
o'clock. He will insist on this.
At 3:20 the jury asked to
be read a part of Delmas's
speech which Fitzgerald re
fused, saying it was not evi
dence. New York, April II. A verdict r
expected any moment in the Thau
case. The jury has aked for addi
tional information and It is said thcy
are nearly of one mind. One rumor
floating about the court room! says
the jury stands 10 to 2 for acquitUl
and another that only one man wai:t,s -Thaw
convicted.
Thaw Was In Hurry.
All through the lonz night a vx.sr.j
was kept by court attaches. The Ju
rors kept at their argument and at
times their raised voices could be
heard in the room adjoining the ju
rors room. Before he had anv
breakfast Thaw asked to be hurried
over to the prisoners' pen In the court
building, so he could get the first
word of the verdict. He was not ta
ken over; however, until the jurors re
turned from breakfast. At S:'J the
furors filed out for breakfast, and i
turned less than an hour later. Tliey '
wore a haggard look and seemed sol
emn. Asked for Exhibits.
After returning to the room It wnw
sot long until they, asked to send
word to Justice Fitzgerald. Immedi
ately it was rumored that & verdict
was about to be' returned. However,
they asked for practically additional
instructions in request for exhibits in
the trial. The jurors filed into tho
court room. District Attorney Jcr-
ome was there, as was also Justice
j Fitzgerald. Thaw's lawyers were
'sent for and soon arrived. The f-x-ihibits
asked for follow: Plans of the
Madison Square roof garden, the
I Longfellow letters, Thaw's will an I
j codicil, the Comstock letters and Je--onie's
and Delmas's hypothetical ques
tion. 4
Feverish Mob Gathers.
Outside the court house a feveri.'tt
mob gathered, swelling momentarily.
Saloons in the neighborhood did a
land office business. Mrs. William
Thaw, Countess of Yarmouth, Mrs.
George Carnegie and Edward Tha'.v
arrived at the court house at half pat
nine and waited for the Jury's action
in Justice Fitzgerald's private office.
The jury then asked before returning
to deliberate, that the testimony ct
Meyer Cohen, witness for the state,
who testified to seeing the shooting,
be read to them. Judge Fitzgerald
so ordered. , Cohen told how Thaw
changed his course while leaving the
roof garden, so as to walk past Stan
ford White. The testimony of Paul
Brady, fireman at the roof garden,
was also read to the jury. Brady
took the revolver away from Thaw.
Meanwhile Thaw had written a,
statement to the newspaper men, re
questing that each man sign his name
on the back of it and return it to the
warden to be preserved.
Packed,1 Ready to Leave.
Thaw's note read: "I am told It V
impossible to tell beforehand just
what a jury will do, so I am attending
to my ordinary affairs and preparing
for the best as it is simpler to unpack
if necessary than it would be to re
turn here for my things if the verdict
is favorable. I am packing my be
longings. I had a good cold bath this
morning and a good breakfast. De
tails ofvthis trial have proven of great
Interest to the public at large and nat
urally we are hopeful for a epeedy
verdict.
While some of Thaw's letters were
being read to the jury. ' Thaw wrote
another note to the newspaper men,
saying: "I wish they had sixty-four
