WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. July 27?
William T. Jerome, district attorney
of New York, today introduced the
greatest sensation of all the testiinoujj
relaveirt to the Thaw case, when in
l the hearing on Thaw's sanity he plac
ed Susan Merrill, a New York lodging j
house keeper on the witness stand. I
She swore that Harry Thaw under I
the name of Reid conducted a fake
[ theatrical agency in New York in.
1900 and 190t and enticed scores of
young girls to his rooms and that
frequently he lashed them unmerclfull
with a whip to gratify his un-natural
desire to see pain and suffering.
Mrs. Merrill swore 'hat she paid
out thousands of dollars to these girls
from Thaw to obtain their silence
about these events.
It is believed that Evelyn Thaw
gave Jerome the Information which,
lead to the placing of Mrs. Merrill up
on the witness stand.,
GRAZING LANDS FOR THE WORLD
Arriving from Kodiak and other
islands to the westward on the Ber
tha today were W. A. Gossett and
son. Charley Gossett. cattle and
business men of Maker City, Oregon,
who have been looking over the coun
try with a view of investing. They
left on the Bertha for the south, but
expect to return lat.-r.
.Mr. Gossett says the Aleutian
chain of islands will, in time, be the
grazing lands for the world's market
of horses, cattle and sheep. The
grass is even superior to the famous
bunch grass of the West, and enough
wild hay can be put up to keep vast
herds for the short timo for which
they will have to be fed during the
winter months. He believes that
stock can be shipped from the
islands cheaper via water to ports In
America, Alaska and Asia than from
any part of the western hemisphere;
certainly much cheaper than from
east of the mountains, where a rail
haul Is neceseary.
He believes thait goats will prove
more marketable and valuable at
the present time than sheep. He has
plans under way for a big farm and
is now enroute outside with a view of
arranging the necessary details. ?

elation. J
Iu a behind one of the i?riu- j
el|>al dwellings of the ancient city |
of Hctvulaneuiii sat a youth and u I
maiden. Beside the girl. ils I wise rest- i
lng on the marble seal, stood a harp. I
the striugs of \vlii? h slie now and I
again struck plaintively. Above theui j
to the east towered the cone of the I
Vesuvian volcano, to the west reposed .
the pale blue waters of the Mediter
ranean. while to the south were visi
ble the tiled roofs of the temples of
the neighboring city of I'ouipeii.
'?llcra< lea." said the youth gloomily,
"this intention <>f your father to make
you a priestess iu this religion of the
Egyptians will surely bring down upon |
him the wrath <>f the true gods. Yet i
it may l>e that you and I shall go free j
to wed it) a foreign land."
"Have you consulted the oracles, |
GaviusV"
"No: but Hercules, from whom your
city was named and whose name your
father gave to you. last night appeared ;
to me iu a dream and told me this."
"Oh. Gavins. be not deceived! There !
is no hope. Tomorrow, its surely as '
Jove dwells on ? )l.viupus, I must go to
I'ompcil to be initiated in the mysteries I
in the temple of Isis there. My father,
like many others, is infatuated with I
the worship of this foreign goddess,
and though I have wept and pleaded
with him he will not forego his in
tent."
"Trouble will surely come from this
slight to the true gods. The senate at
Home has forbidden it."
"Nevertheless there stands the tem
ple at Pompeii on the slope nenr the
ampitheator You may see its roof."
Meanwhile the voting man was re
garding the summit of Vesuvius,
which was emitting fitful puffs of
smoke.
j "I have not for several days," ho
said, "liked the looks of the mountain.
I fear the earthquake. I?o you know,
Her.iciea. I have a feeling? perhaps it
j has been planted within me by the
i immortal gods that In some way the
volcano is connected with our fate ?
that rather than see you a priestess of
I a false goddess Hercules will emerge
from the crater, descend upon her
temple and destroy It."
"And us. too, perhaps." replied the
girl, giving n frightened look up at the
cone, which at that moment uttered an j
ominous growl.
"Enough of these melancholy words, j
dear heart. With our approaching eter- j
nal separation and the volcano mutter
; ing above us I am plunged in gloom. I
Sing the song I love so well, that old
air brought by your ancestors from the
isles of Greece. It may be the last
time I shall hear it."
The girl commenced to sing in a low,
plaintive tone, accompanying herself
on her harp. The air, though monoto
nous, was sweet, rising and falling at
intervals. The words were a recital
of their grief at their coming separa
tion. The song served to deepen their
gloom. When It ceased Gavlus clasptd j
Heraclea in his arms, and they wept I
silently. Then after au impassioned
farewell they separated.
The next day. as Heraclea, under the
guardianship of her family, was leav
ing for the temple of Isls, Vesuvius
| gave a shudder, then sent up that col
, uniu from the bowels of the earth
| which destroyed the cities at its base.
Gavius, maddened at the prospect of
losing his love, collected n number of
his friends who wore opposed to the
worship of the Egyptian goddess?
among them. priests from the temple of
Jupiter? and, sallying from his house,
ou the main street crossing Pompeii
north and sonth, turned into the one
leading to the Ilerculanean gate. There,
supported by his band, he stood ready
for a desperate attempt to rescuo Her
aclen on her entrance Into tho city.
Put Heraclea did not come. At tha
hour appointed for her Initiation both
Ilerculaneuin and I'ompell were being
covered by showers of ashes and earth
rained down from Vesuvius, while the
mountain roared and the earth quaked.
Gavlus started to Ilerculaneum to
die with his love, but In the darkness
lost his way. Fainting he lay stupe
fied by gases from the volcano, but
was taken up by one of his slaves and
carried to the sea. Later when all wan
again serene he went and stood
ou the crust above the burled Hercu
laneuin. There wandering, he was re
garded by those who were trying to
dig their way down to where they
might recover treasures as having lost
his mind through the terrors attending
the late eruption. When night cam*
they left him there and found him
there again In the morning. The only
words he was heard to say were:
"O Hercules, direct me!"
On the evening of the second day
after the eruption as the twilight deep
ened Gavlus was still wandering abore
the buried Herculaneum. The sea. |
the mountain, the ground on which he
stood, were still. A stream had flowed
on either side of the site of the town, j
Wandering aimlessly toward one of i
these streams, out of the silence there |
came to him a sound. Gavlus listened
vtul heard the plaintive strains of harp
strings. Then came a human voice
singing. lie knew the song Heraclea
sang at their parting.
Guided by the sound, he went down j
near the bank of the stream. Coming
to a small aperture, he widened It, dig
ging his way Into a stone hut. There
he found Heraclea. She hud been tak
en there by a peasant, who had left
her to go for succor and had not re
turned. The hut had been covered by
n stream of mud from the volcano.
Gavlus' dream was fulfilled. He took
Heraclea to Greece, where he built a
temple to Hercules.

CUTICURA A STAND-BY
THAT NEVER FAILS HER
"I lust can't say enough for the Cuti
cura Remedies, I can't And words high
enough to express my thanks to (<od
for hearing or the wonderful remedies.
My baby liad a running sore on his
neck and nothing that I did for it took
effect until I used Cuticura. My faco
was nearly full of tetter or some similar
skin disease. It would itch and, after
scratching, it burned so that I could
hardly stand it. Two cakes of Cuti
cura Soap and a box of Cuticura Oint
ment cured me. Two years after it
broke out on my hands and wrist. I
cured it for a while, but it came again
In the summer. Sometimes I would
go nearly crazy for it itched so badly.
I used ten dollars' worth of go-called
blood medicines which did no good at
all, then I went back to my old stand-by,
that had never failed me. One set of
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Resolvent did the work. One
set also cured my uncle's baby whose
head was a cake of sore?, ar.d I know <>f
another woman's baby who was in tho
same fix and nothing else did any good.
I speak a word of praise for Cuticura
whenever I see a case that needs it.

curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced It a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it Incurable. Selene
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca

only constitutional cure on the mar
