A traveling man landed at a cer tain pretentious city not far from Charlotte some days ago tired, hungry and strapped, but knowing a check from his house, awaited him there, ha proceeded to the hotel in high spirit and was made happy by the receipt of a hundred dollar New York check. All wa merry until Just before time to take a train for, another point, when be hastened to a bank with proper- Identification to get his hun dred dollar check cashed, and wa quickly Informed that the banks were ' not cashing checks, or drafts, But says the traveling man, is this check not good? I haven't a cent of money, I owe my hotel bill, and am through with my work and must make the first train to Charlotte, which Is due in a few minutes, and I must have money Well, said the traveling man, can't We have money, hut can't pay out any currency, said the paying teller. you let me have twenty-five dolars and hold this check until I can make other arrangements? No, sir, replied tho teller, we can't accommodate you. The time was drawing near for the train, and taking a new thought, tho traveling man asked the banker what amount he would charge to cash the check. Eignt dollars was the re sponse by the banker. No, sir. re plied the traveling man,-1 will not pay it. I knew you would not pay 4t, said the banken lg why I asked you 'eight dolars. The traveling man had mileage and made the. train without a cent of money, leaving hlg hotel bill unpaid, r.nd with certain impressions of that city, which he will not forget. Reach ing Charlotte In due time, he made his way to a leading hotel on South Tryon stret, told the genial proprietor his experiences, and the two walked the street to a bank and the hundred dollar check was canhed without any questions being asked. Now, the above littlo transaction Is only one- of many similar experi ences with the traveling man, but a the "Knight of the Grip" Is general ly a resourceful fallow, he Is hard to down. It is not known whether this trav eling man Is a member of the V. C. T.'s or not, 1 but it is not probable, a U. C. T. men don't have any fears of getting In auch embarrassing places. The boys would suggest to this broth er that he come to Charlotte and Join the U. C. T. Council No. 297. THE POPULATION 26,755.

" : ,? iiiAvr -trial i: ja:;uaiiy (ConUnut-d from r.!,:5 Orf). fendmt and his wife. Mr. Jerome da- i clared the tragedy was nothing morej than "a common, low, vulgar Tender loin murder." To the Jury he de scribed Thaw as a "wilful wretch," j indulged from his youth by wealthy parents and at last turned loose to 1 "float his way through the Tenderloin on 280,000 a year." , The seemmgly Irrational writings of Thaw, which were placed In evidence, were dismlss-i ed by Jerome as the work of a "rich Illiterate and nothing more.' 1 : ; CHANGE IN ATTORNEYS. District Attorney Jerome and Fran cis P. Garvan, hia first assistant again will have charge of . the prosecution. but Thaw has made , an important change of attorneys. Replacing Mr. Delmaa as chief, counsel will a Mar tin W. Littleton, of Brooklyn. Mr. Littleton is known as k capable law yer and brilliant orator. At the' Dem ocratic national convention of 1904 It was he who nominated Alton B. Park er for the presidency. Mr. .Littleton la a Southern man.: having been born la Tennessee Just - thirty-five year ago. Hods what J9 generally termed a self-made man, having educated himself. He began the practice of law tn 1801 and moving to Dalla. Tex., serving there for a term aa as sistant prosecuting attorney. Later he removed to Brooklyn and at once became a prominent figure to politic and at the bar. For four year he was assistant district ' attorney of ; King's county, and under the first Mc Clellan administration In Greater New York was president of Brooklyn bor ough. Just who will be associated with Mr. Littleton may hot be defi nitely known until the day the trial beglna. At present . Daniel ' O'Reilly and A. Russell Peabody are he only member of the former array v of counsel credited with being In Thaw service. Because of Thaw's Impetu osity it was not always known dur ing the former trial Juat who his at torney might be the next - day. The opening day of the coming trial un doubtedly will settle whatever misun derstanding may exist among coun sel. It is the hope of the prisoner' friend that hi cause may1 not be hampered this time by the wrangle among counsel which were frequent last winter. WILL EVELYN TESTIFY ? There is much speculation as to whether or not Evelyn Nesbtt Thaw, the sohoolglrl-llke figure about which the storm and tempest of the first trial beat out ita fury, will again take the stand In her husband' defense. A report has been current for some time that she will not, but the Thaw case always has been surrounded by every class of rumor and suggestion that human Ingenuity can Invent. A deflnlte decision s to the matter of placing' the girl again uponJhe stand may not be arrived at until the trial is well under way. Without her testi mony there would be difficulty in making out a case of emotional in sanity a defense which would have to bo relied upon to gain Thaw abso lute freedom. If medical or heredl tary insanity be the plan of the de fense. the best Thaw can hope for Is an Indefinite commitment to the State Hospital for the Criminal Insane at Matteawan. Neither Thaw nor his wife relishes the idea of placing the girl at the mercy of another cross-examination by Mr. Jerome, who, unmoved Iby her tears or her burning cheeks of shume, forced her to admit the long-contln ued relations which existed between her and Stanford White, and to ,tell the Jury lh plain words of the two European tours she made with Thaw before iregomlng his wife. It wa on ono of these tours, the girl declared that Thaw demanded to know of her the reaeon why she would not consent to become his wife. Then she told mm ner h re-history and or the al leged wrong which wa claimed to have ruined her career. Told for a secona time the wonderful story might lose much of the dramatic eN rect of its first offering, and it Is not generally believed that young Mrs. Thaw, In the knowledge of the cross examination that would come, could hold herself together a well a she did et the-flmt trial, when Mr. Je rome freely proclaimed her a one of the best witnesses he had heard any where. The second trial may not last more than a few weeks. Its length will de pend almost entirely upon the Itm required in securing a Jury. This is expected to be tedious work, as there are few persons In New York county wno aia not reaa tne detail of th rormer trial end who have not some prejudice or bias In the Question of Thaw' guilt. Once the Jury box I filled, however, the attorneys expect to move forVard rapidly, and with few Interruptions. Constipation, Indigestion, drive away aopetlte and make yon weak and rlok.
