trial of Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White was resumed today. The first announcement made was of the exclusion ef all women except the six actively engaged newspaper writers. There was great indignation among the fair ones. Thaw looked fresh and in good spirits, but appeared disappointed at not seeing the members of his own family in court.

J. D. Lyons, vice president of the Union National bank of Pittsburg was the first witness called by the defense. He was put on the stand for the purpose of identifying Harry Thaw's will. Jerome immediately launched into a fight on the admission of the will and entered an objection to Lyons as a witness.

In an answer tor Justice Fitzgerald during the discussion, Delmas declared that while the defense has abundance of expert testimony proving Thaw insane at the time of the killing, it was the purpose of the defense to introduce facts that would first enumerate Thaw's eccentricities and then clinch the case by the introduction of experts at the close.

He declared that the envelope had remained unbroken during the time it had remained in his possession and up to the time he had surrendered it, the latter part of November, 1906.

Rev. W. N. Baily, in Trinity church yesterday morning. and the discourse was one of the most earnest ever preached by him.

In the course of his remarks on helt denial and the proper motive therefor, i.e., trying to get nearer to Christ, he deplored the publication of the testimony in the Thaw murder trial which, he said, spread before the people in newspapers every day in all its the hideous detail the very evils of the flesh that they were trying to get away from at the beginning of Lent. On the question of motive, he said that the abstention from luxuries such as candy, sweets, tobacco, in lent, even if the money saved thereby was given to the church, was all very well and braisworthy, in its. way, but the real efficacy of it depended to a great extent upon the motive. In giving out notice of a collection to be taken up next Sunday for foreign missions, Mr. Bally said that it there were any who were compelled to choose between giving to foreign missions and to the expenses of their own church (regular contributions) they should give to the latter, for 'Charity should begin at res membering, however, the widow's mite and that the Lord loves a cheerful giver, no matter how small the contribution might be, At the morning service yesterday the vested choir sang Woodward's "Te Deum." the soloist being Miss Margaret Widdemer.

PASTOR ASSUMES REGULAR CHARGE Rev. John T.

Nichols Warmly Greeted at First Congregational Church. Rev. John T. Nichols, the new pastor of the Congregational church, took up his work in this city yesterday and was greeted at both the morning and evening services by good sized congregations, Many came forward at the close of the services to congratulate the new minister and wish him success in Asbury Park. Rev.

Mr. Nichols' theme of the morning sermon was "The Ideal of a Christian Church." The discourse was replete with good and timely suggestions of an introductory nature and depicted the great amount of good the church has an opportunity to do and the high ideals it ought to attain. The evening sermon subject WaS "Salvation an Achievement." The words of the text were: "Work out your own salvation." The preacher said in part: "These words were written to the Christians at Phillippl, and one of them was the jailer to whom Paul had said: 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt 1 be These two different sayings of Paul on the same questions suggest that the first word in salvation is not the last word; that it is a process of character development, rather than a ticket of admission to heaven. So the New Testament speaks of those who are being saved rather than those who are saved. We are saved as a free gift from God, but the gift is only the beginning -the opportunity to work out our own salvation.

It is like title to a farm given by a father to a son. It is a free gift and there 1 is living on the farm, but only as he works it out. It means that 'when we can read our title clear to mansions in the skies' we are not 'to sit and sing ourselves away to everlasting "Salvation, in its last analysis, is character. It is the kingdom of heaven getting into us, rather than us getting into the kingdom of heaven. And character is always more of LED achivement than 8 gift.

Here, everywhere else, there is 'ni hil sine la "We have to work not only for salvation, but against sin. Growth In years and in character do not free us from temptation. Those of middle life are different but 110 less dangerous than those of youth. The path of the just, which shines more and more, should not dazzle our eyes but show more and more clearly our imperfections, "We should also remember that when we work, God works with 118. The two must work together.

As Paginini could make divine music when all but one string of his violin was boken, so if there is only string of our lives responsive to God, He can awake the music of heaven within us."

Sergius A. Alexandrovsky, late governor of Penza, Russia, who was 81100 and killed by a Russian terrorist last week, was a personal friend of Dr. O.

G. J. Schadt of Ocean Grove. Several years ago, when chamberlain to his majesty Nicholas Il. and a prominent official of the department of finance at St.

Petersburg, he proposed DI. Schadt as American member of the Russian Imperial commission at the St. Louis exposition and secured him the appointment at a salary of $200 per month and expenses. When the Russo- Japanese war broke out in February, 1904, Mr. Alexandrovsky, who was the commissioner general of Russia at the exposition was made head of the Red Cross 80- ciety of Russia and was obliged to go to Siberia with the Russian troops where he distinguished himself in ministering to the dying and wounded.

He took most of the Russian officials with him who had been preparing the numerous exhibits for the St. Louis fair. As there was no available man competent to act as commissioner general at the fair, Russia withdrew all participation in the great exposition. Dr. Schadt, after six months stay in St.

Petersburg and work in the deapartment of finance, returned to his family in Ocean Grove, rather than accompany the other commissioners and army officials to Eastern Siberia and the seat of the war. Dr. Schadt, as is well known, was United States commissioner to the International exposition held in St. Petersburg in the fall of 1903 and personally addressed the empress of Russia and the Russian court in the royal palace of the Tauride, where the opening ceremonies took place, and which palace is now used by the douma, the Russian congress or chamber of deputies.

He was intercepted there by a sister, Miss Margaret E. Whetston, and taken to her apartments at 275 West One Hundred and Fortieth street, New York. The mind of the young man, who lives with his mother, Mrs. Margaret Whetston, at 708 Agbury avenue, is completely unbalanced and he will probably be taken to an asylum.

For more than four years Whetston has been employed as clerk in the Frank Daley grocery at the corner of Asbury avenue and Main street. He has long been affected with peculfar halluciations, but his condition did not develop seriously until the past few months. During the winter he grew steadily worse. He believed himself detective, a secret service man, and at times he would be happy in pursuit of anarchists. At other intervals he would be in fear because the anarchists were pursuing him.

Saturday Mrs. Whetston realized that his condition demanded that he be watched and she telegraphed to his sisters, Misses Mary and Margaret E. Whetston, who have a dressmaking establishment at 275 West One Hundred and Fortieth street. New York. Whetston declared that he would procure a special train and gO to Washington.

Arrived at the capital, he would marry the daughter of Pregident Roosevelt. Which daughter was not specified. Miss Mary Wetston arrived here Saturday night at 8.30. When she entered the house John slipped out and stayed away all night. Yesterday morning he took an early train for New York.

Miss Margaret E. Whetston, the other sister, was telegraphed and last evening at 11 o'clock she found John in the Central depot at Jersey City. He still declared his intention of going to Washington, but was hampered on account of scarcity of funds. He was taken to the sisters' home. E.

Again the strike of the Italian laborers oft the New York and Long Branch railroad has failed. Superintendent Rufus Blodgett of the Rail'road company sent word to the gangs that had struck Saturday that unless they returned to work on time this morning their places would be taken by other men. This peremptory demand from the superintendent had the desired effect and the men returned sullenly to work this morning. They had 1 been promised an increase in their daily wage scale. Asked this morning how much the daily raise was, one of the would-be strikers replied, "Wanna postage stampa," 1g two cents.

On Jan. 10 last the first strike began. The men all along the line from Perth Amboy to Point Pleasant, some 350 in number, were out for several days. They had asked for a raise in their daily wages from $1.29 for nine hours work to $1.43, the scale on both the Central and Pennsylvania Superintendent Blodgett refused their demands and after the strike had continued for three days had three of the strikers arrested at Matawan for coercion and sent to Freehold in default of $500 bail each, under which they were held by Justice Sickles of Red Bank. This action and the promise of the desired increase had the effect of breaking the strike and the men returned to work with the understanding that when the 10 hour FL day schedule was put on they would receive $1.57 a day.

The 10-hour schedule went into cffeet today, but on Saturday the laborers learned that instead of $1.57 a das, as the other roads were paying for 10 hours, they were to receive only $1.13. the amount they had asked for a ninehour day. Enraged at what they may Was the breaking of Superintendent Blodgett's, promise, the Long Branch gang struck and immediately divided into two gangs, one going north and the other south in an effort to prevail upon. all the men to go out. Two of the gangs north of Asbury refused to go out and the men sent south only reached this city when it came time to quit for the day.

The Asbury Park gang was out. Along with Saturday's demand sent by the superintendent was a promise of a two-cent raise, making the pay for 10-hour day $1.45. This the men, by returning to work, have accepted. altho with grumbling and mutterings of discontent. While the strike is over for the present it is said to be not finally settled and it la possible that more serious tieup will follow when the men have had time to determine upon a course of action.
