The ball itself cost $4,000. and this expense was undergone jointly by the Baptist State Mission society and the Baptist Young Peoplo's Union of the Wyoming association. Mrs. S. A. Trevor, a wealthy Philadelphia woman. made a gift of $500 to tho building fund, and in recognition of her generosity her name was given to the hall. Contributions ol various sums have been made to tho work by ihe members of Baptist societies and others throughout the State. While the mission is being conducted under Baptist auspices, it has appealed to members of other societies, especially in West Pulsion, who have recognized the value of the work and have gladly given it practical encouragement.

It has been made clear in an extended statement to the public that the action is in no way directed at Christian Science, but the complaint contains assertions to the effect that Mrs. Kdd.v is in the weak mental and physical condition alleged several months ago and then so vigorously denied by members high in office in the Christian Science church.

Bywaters an hour after they had forced him to marry their sister. Tho rain and sleet storm of last night played havoc with the schedule 01 the Laurel Line. It has been proven «iiat a sleet storm is harder on the. line iM.tn a blizzard and tho elements last night caused more trouble than any storm 01' the winter. For the first time trains made no pretense of keeping on time. At one time about t»: :5o no Laurel Line car passed through the city for an hour. The sleet clung to tin third rail, although the weather was not freezing, and prevented the shoo from taking tho electric current.

The coining of these people has been so gradual that even those English-speaking residents who have been most familiar with the transformation that the social life of the community bus undergone fail to appreciate tho extent of the change until something special awakens them to thti truth.

The outside dimensions "Emotional Irresponsibility" Urged ment. well lighted, which can be- used for cooking classes (being equipped with a range), reading room and 1x4(1 feet Thor,e is a hifih base- this move by the defense was to block the manifest determination of the prosecution to ask for u conviction for manslaughter, it having practically abandoned any idea of murder-conviction. The defense is trying to impress upon the jury the utter inability of the men to control themselves when they found out that Bywaters was seeking to desert their sister after marrying her. The attorneys call it "emotional irresponsibility." Four Allegations Made, pmii' room o. A modest gymnasium equipment if also in prospect.

Of a. surety, these seek„( r:: for a hotter country ;ire hero in vast numbers, and tiif• problem of tho hour is how most quickly and most thoroiiTi'i" to assimilate them into our American life.

The delusions apparent in the letters were more concentrated in the will and codicil, executed April 4, 1 '.105. and when taken by themselves indicutid a paranoic form of the insanity of adolescence. On June KMX!, when Thaw shot and killed Stanford White, Dr. Evans said the defendant was suffering from an explosive outburst of adolescent Insanity. "Sirs.
