New Trial for the Anarchists.

Secretary Manning Thinks Himself
Able to Resume His Official Duties.
CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
They VIII not be Granted New Trial.

Ahof VIM HVt ne ufdHtcuh New Ifidl,
CHICAGO Oct. There was a great
deal of suppressed excitement about the
criminal court building this morning, in
anticipation of Judge Garys decision in
the anarchist case. Shortly after 10
O'Clock the judge commenced reading
his decision. He started in on a review
of the law points in the case and went in
to the minutest details. 1t was the gen
eral opinion that he would override the
motion. The prisoners listened to what
the judge was saying with the strictest
attention, but were evidently nervous.
At 1915 this afternoon Judge Gary
overruled the motion for new trial.
This decision leaves the prisoners I'M
der the same penalty as prescribed by the
jury-death to Spies, Schwab, Parsons.
Fischer, Lingg and Engel, and imprison-
ment of fifteen years for Neebe. 1t is
thought counsel for the defense will now
make an appeal to the supreme court.
Judge Gary in delivering his decision
reviewed at considerable length the evil
dence brought out at the trial, and said
the case is unprecedented. There is no
example of any such crime having been
committed there is no precedent of any
case like this having become a subject of
Judicial Investigation, but the principle
of the law is well fixed. / think upon the
whole proof that no case could be tried
of such magnitude as this with less in
ways of irregularity of proceeding in
the trial than was done in this case.

LOUIS LINGG, THE BOMB MAKER,
expressed a wish to have his say in Ger

service. In deep chested tones Lingg
exclai "A: "Court of justice, with some
contempt, | have tried to live humanity on
this American soil. | am now granted n
privilege 20 speak. If do speak it is
because indignities have been heaped
upon me in this court"
Lingg declared it had not been proven
that any bombs made by him had been
taken to Haymarket. He accused the po-
lice of stealing his books and clothing in
the station and then perjuring them
selves against him on the witness stand.

the intensity of his feelings. His frame
shook with passion and his cultural voice
poured forth torrent of emphatic SEN
fences in his native language. He STROBE
impatiently back and forward while the
interpreter translated each sentence and
occasionally emphasized his words by a
violent blow upon the little table in
front of him. At last turning fiercely
to States Attorney Lingg, he roared;

Capt. Black here asked the court to ad-
journ as the time for doing so had arriv-

desired to speak. The court adjourned
till 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

How the First Lady Amused Herself at
Saranac.
Albany Journal

Saranac.
Albany Journal
Have you received from the presidents
bride a cardboard with a leaf, cut neatly
out of birch bark, pasted in the center,
and under that the autographs of herself
and husband. You might have got one
if you had asked at the right time and
place-that is to say. while she was in the
Adirondacks. An artist named Leutze
from Albany was in the hotel and one
day he fashioned a bit of bark into leaf,
penciling it a little to perfect the SOM
blance. Mrs, Cleveland CHANGED to see
it and her admiration was girlishly
emotional She declared that it was Just
too lovely for anything at all except to
adorn the page of an autograph album,
and to that end she put it. Somebody
has mailed an album to her, begging that
she would return it with the presidents
and her own signatures. She en-
bellished a leaf of the book with the birch
leaf, got Mr.. Cleveland to write his name
and then signed her own. The result
pleased her, and she responded to every
call with similar souvenir | have one
before me as ! write. 1t belongs to a
friend who was at Saranac a week du ring
the stay of the presidential party. She
says that Mrs Cleveland made not less
than hundred, and that every applicant
for an autograph got an example.
Louie did the cutting and tracing, but
Mrs. Frankie's own hands completed the
jobs, except that the president beng in
'terrupted in chat, awakened from a
doze, wrote his name in nonchalant ODE
dience to her request.
But / fancy that Mrs. Cleveland won't
spent any time on such things now that
she is back in Washington my inform
ant says indeed, | imagine that she will
be totally different sort Of creature
from the schoolgirlish, unaffected, chatty,
and totally undiplomatic girl she was at
Saranac. She seemed to have thrown off
all vesture of dignity and was like a
bright country lass. Although old
enough, she is not yet matured as to fig
ure and her mind is childish that is,
simple and charming. She wore
more than nything else flannel
suit that never cost more than
$50, and her feet were mostly in
brown canvas CATERS. No guests III the
little hotel was kept from her acquan-
lance. Her favorite hat was a big faring
straw, but she had a habit of exchanging
with the other women, and was seen in n
half dozen different ones in day. We
all liked her immensely. But it seems
to me that she will have to assume a dig
nifty, as mistress of the white house,
which was quite unknown to her in the
Adirondacks"

TnE supreme court of Pennsylvania
has decided that the store order systen

Two new varieties of fish have recently
appeared in the markets of San Francis
co, Cal. They were caught of Santa
Barbara. The name of one of the fish is
not known to the fishermen. The other
kind is the sheepshead, which is deli

specimens of this fish will weigh from
twelve to fourteen pounds, and Is pecul-

of the fish, not tapering TO the semblance
of a nose, but ending abruptly, making d

is situated at the lower part of this

with few large teeth, placed not very
near together, and in form like the canine
teeth of q dog, long, round, and blunt.
The other fish of which several speci-
