He stated that ho wished it understood that from now on nothing would nppear In tho newspapers credited either to Thaw or his wife that would bo authentic unless it camo through ht3 hands. Ho stated that under no circumstances would he, until tho trial began, give even a hint as to what line the defenso shall take, saying that to do so would be unfair and unprofessional.

STRIKE OF MILTON DETCH CONFIRMED Former Richmond Man Becomes Immensely Wealthy Through His Gold Mine. WILL BE A MILLIONAIRE IT IS OPINON OF MANY MINING MEN IN NEVADA THAT RECENTLY DISCOVERED lIdGE OF ORE IS BEST DISCOVERY MADE. Publishers' Press Goldfield, Nev., July 15. The new strike recently made by Detch & Brewer in the sixty foot level of their lease on the Daisy is now reliably confirmed. Last week a party of prominent mining engineers and newspaper correspondents visited the lease and were allowed to inspect the lower workings. Entering the shaft, they climbed down to the sixty foot level and from there passed through a cross-cut to the north 180 feet, where they beheld a small army of miners at work in their usual routine of breaking down and sacking ore. The ledge was carefully examined, and was found to measure four feet In width, with an extremely rich pay shoot three feet wide, which is said to assay over $2,000 to the ton. In this shoot of ore the free gold was plainly visible. All the ore is being screened and sacked by candle light under ground. Passing further to the north in the same drift, they were shown the underground orehouse, where the treasures of this mine are being stored for safekeeping. It is estimated by the superintendent, J. H. Blanchard. that fully $40,000 worth of gold is now stored and sacked in the mine awaiting shipment. This amount of ore will make about two solid car loads, and only represents a meager portion of the vast fortunes available from the present development. The leasers are now drifting on the vein, the entire face of the drift being in solid ore. and every shot means added riches to the owners. A fifteen horse-power hoist is now on the ground and will be placed in position in a few days. It is difficult at the present time to estimate what the actual production will be, but based on the present ore values and the seventeen months' time for which the lease has yet to run. it is estimated by those who have examined the property that this lease will probably net Messrs Detch and Brewer over $2,000,000. In the opinion of many mining men here, this strike is the most sensational gold discovery that has ever been made in the Goldfield mining district, not excepting the Mohawk, Reilly, or other famous bonanzas. The Detch spoken of in the above dispatch is Milton a former Richmond man who went prospecting in Nevada a few years ago and has had extremely good fortune.

SPOKE ON "JESUS AND THE FAMILY" Rev. Alfred T. Ware Thinks Laws Too Lax Regarding Marriage and Divorce.

WAS A STRONG SERMON SPEAKER STRONGLY URGED THAT WOMEN SHOULD LIVE UP TO A HIGH IDEAL CALLING FORTH NEEDED RESPECT. Rev. Alfred F. Ware, pastor of the East Main street Friends church preached to a large congregation on the subject: "Jesus and The Family" at the open air services last evening. He traced the formation from the creation of man to the present day, following it through the maze of history and demonstrating the attendant effects upon its life. He stated that now to every six marriages there is a divorce and that the home life is responsible for it. He drew the comparison of the Pagan ideal of marriage, composed of the three parts, 1, civil contract; 2, copartnership; 3, dissolvible at pleasure and its likness to the present conditions. This Pagan idea of marriage was opposed and overcome to a great extent in early days, by Christianity. The old Jewish laws supported the principle of marriage of one man to one woman and not the free-lance will of man to take unto himself whom so ever and as many as he dosired. "Jesus has said that the one and. only cause for divorce should be fornication, and that marriage is not a contract of any sort but a divine ordinance. Supplementary to- the other is the Independence of woman which is considered to be another prime cause of the divorces of today." To get a divorce nowadays the man and wife call in a few neighbors. These witnesses that the husband strikes the woman and that she returns the compliment. Then a decree of divorce on the grounds of inhuman treatment, separate and perhaps the same day marry another man or woman. The law in many cases, is too lax and almost amounts to nothing as regards divorce. He strongly advocated the mateing of the proper persons and the point that a woman should live up to the high ideal in which man naturally nolds her and should not lower herself to those coarser things which are by right the lot of man. That she should cultivate that gentle and sweet nature which makes and holds her so dear to the hearts of her hus band, children and friends.

The needle of tbe machine was old and a cloak had been thrown over the trumpet to deaden the sounds that the mistress might not "fall to it." Frenchmen Relieved. (Publishers' Press! New York.

HAS A MANIA TO MURDER LEAVES HIS HIDING PLACE LONG ENOUGH TO TRY AND KILL THREE YOUNG WOMEN OFFI CERS HUNT FOR HIM. Rensselaer, Ind., July 13. (Spl.) The southeastern suburbs of Rensselaer and a large section of adjoining country side, has been so completely terrorized for over a week by the actions of a supposed insane man or fugitive, that even the young boys go about armed and the men cannot go away from their homes, because of the fears of the women.
