To secure jury, $50 citizens were examined
before the twelfth was selected. The first
sensational event of the trial was the testi-
mony of Gottfried Walters, an Anarchist,
who, turning states evidence, swore- that he
had belonged to an armed body of Anarchists,
and who described in detail the preparations
that had been made by the leaders the de-
PENDANTS on trial. for the capture of the city.
1t was, he said, the purpose to disable the fire
department as well as the police. He descrbeda a
meeting at which he said it was decided that
they We're to kill everybody who opposed
them. 1t was also proposed at that meeting
that Anarchists should mingle with the
crowds in the city's streets, and kill everybody
right and left The state has also produced
witness, William Selinger, who swears that
Louis Lingg was the man who made the fatal
bomb, while other witnesses testify that Spies
Lit the bomb and Schnaubelt threw it.
Other sensations of the trial was the gradual
DEVELOPMENT of the fact that the Chicago
police, as well as the Canadian government,
have had several detectives sworn in as
members of these Anarchistic societies, and
these detectives assisted in the plotting and
kept their respective governments posted
on every move of the Anarchists. Besides
this each detective was unaware that any
other but himself was in the organization, 50
that the authorities were assured that each
detective was performing his work honestly
and Loyalty when the reports of all the re-
porters agreed. This last feature of the case
will strike terror into similar organizations
throughout the world, for it proves the i'm
possibility of keeping their secrets from the
government

On the summit of Jackson hill, now more
familiary known as Mt. Auburn, was built
in 1872 mammoth pleasure pavilion SOx2OO
feet, and an amphitheatre which is used for
dramatic and circus performances and
dancing. The grounds are divided into lawns
and flower gardens, and beneath the broad
spreading shade trees are refreshment tables.
The grand pavilion is not unlike in design and
detail like resorts at Coney Island. 1t con-
tains 200 refreshment tables, special and
private dining rooms and grand orchestra
This pavilion and grounds will comfortably
accommodate 5000 persons. Since the Look
out house, as it is called, came into existence,
1t has undergone many improvements. The
principal amusement at the present time is
dancing and German concerts.
The success attending the opening of the
Lookout house was nothing if not phenomenal
Thousands flocked to the pavilion and flooded
the grounds to overflowing. Thus it was that
the thousands who were daily turned away
for lack of room needed another "hilltop" re-
sort, and they were not long in having their
wants supplied.

elegant statues in stone, bronze, iron and

be seen for five miles, spanned by three mag

Said to BE Divinity.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 3.-A curious religious
frenzy has pervaded certain circles in Ohio
Tor the past fourteen years, or ever since the
crusade which was inaugurated about that
time, when bands of women went about
praying in the saloons. This enthusiasm has
gone on intensifying until now the matter has
assumed such strange Importance as to be re-
garded as q serious phenomenon. About
thirty persons, men and women, have aban-
doned the churches and formed an esoteric
band, whose inner mysteries have not been di-
vulged to the would. All these people are
far above the 9kerage in intelligence
and social position. One of them is the
widow of an ex-member of congress and
territorial Judge of Kansas appointed by Bu-
chanan. Another is the wife of an ex-judge
of a court in Cincinnati. Several are girls
barely out of their teens. Men of means, en-
gagged in business, and some mere boys have
ioined the band Some have sacrificed their
occupations to join it, and are depending upon
the Lord to provide for them. Meetings are
held in a beautiful home on Walnut Hills,
owned bv a man and his wife, who are MEM
bers.

One of the unique features of Cincinnati,
which attracts the stranger more particularly,
are its hilltop resorts, the city being situated
in an amphitheatre formed by hills, which
rise 400 or 500 feet on the north, east and
south. 1t was long thought that these hills
would form an insuperable barrier to its
growth, but by the happy expedient of the
inclined railways these obstacles have become
the crowning glory of the city. For in the
cool and invigorating atmosphere of these
hills have great portion of its citizens built
delightful country homes, and for the great
mass of people, who can only spare time for
an occasional visit to the hills, there have been
constructed at the head of the several inclined
railways pavilions and pleasure grounds
which are open, free to all. As these resorts
have been the scenes of historical political
conventions, and are often alluded to in the
press, a brief description of them will not be
found amiss

GEN. HHNEST BOCLANGEh.
Gen. Boulanger's career thus far has been
like the upward fight of rocket, and his
future will bear watching. He is the young
est of the French generals, being yet not quite
so. He is the son Of Breton lawyer, while
his mother was English. Thus he combines
the fire and dash of one race with the GOODNESS
and stubbornness of the other. He possesses
magnificent military physique, and since his
recent duel and the publication of an article
In The Paris Figaro, in which Boulanger is
mentioned as "a menace to the republic,
owing to overreaching ambition that will not
rest until he has either plunged France into a
war of revenge with Germany or has had
himself proclaimed dictator"
This article has set all Europe agog, and on
investigation Of Boulanger's career it is found
he has been governed by the principle that
might, under whatever form it manifests
ITSELF overTeaches right in spite of all the fine
essays to prove the contrary, and with La
Fontaine he believes "the logic of the strong
est is always the best"

1t is novel scheme, and originated with
Erastus Wiman, the only man who would be
likely to conceive such thing and be able to
carry it to what already seems to promise
satisfactory conclusion. The idea is this:
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad, as is well
known, is seeking an entry into New York.
When it reaches point in New Jersey about
twenty miles southwest of New York city
there are two courses open to it, and both be-
set with difficulties. One is to make CON-
promising arrangement with one of the rail.
roads who own the whole water front on the
west banirof the Hudson, opposite New York,
The othef plan would be 70 cut across the
Arthur Kills and make the terminus at Staten
Island, connecting by a ferry, of a half hours
sail, with New York. There are some draw
backs to this scheme, but it is said that the
Baltimore and Ohio people have told those
interested in the Staten Island route that if
they will show them traffic to warrant them
building powerful and fast ferryboats they
will be inclined to listen to the claims Of
their island

yet light enough to be easily carried by two
persons. A fridge pole" laid along the bin
from end to end supports the poles while
their feathery load is tumbled noiselessly into
the pockets. Three persons, as rule, work
at one bin, and there is many quaint study

people who enjoy the life in q hop yard and
come mainly for exercise and recreation.
Noise and gayety abound. Children laugh
and cry alternately; mothers scold, work and
gossip with equal facility; there are shrin
cries for hops, the continuous hum of conver-
sation and the rattle of poles. Often a frag-
ment of song, lightly caroled by some happy
girl, will be Aught up by her companions

echoes the refrain. In the evening there is
singing at the farm house, but the singers
there feel restraint, and their song loses the

A Novel Scheme to Create Trafiic-A

The Indian scout blazed the way for the

opened the route for the iron horse. This is
the history of the rails progress across the
country. In advance Of the railroad were
Indian fights and wonderful individual ex
ploits by brave scouts and pioneer settlers;
thrilling trips of the pony express and hair
breadth escapes of the stage coach. Then
came the cowboy and the Mexican greaser,
and coupled with all were herds of buffalo
and deer and droves of wild horses and cattle.
These are things Of the past, one would say,
yet so strange are the mutations of time that
we find these same stirring scenes of the wild
west reproduced in one of the suburbs of New
York city, to lead the way toward the extend

GEN, BOULANCER.
The French Minister of War-Will He
Become Dictator?


Become Dictator?
It is the unexpected that happens in France,
and just now al Europe is expecting some
thing to happen there. Successful as the
present government in our sister republic
seems to be- there is an inborn desire among
Frenchmen for herO-a strong, dashing,
fearless leader, one who will carry himself
far above the law. 1t is the old story of the
frogs desiring king. They treated with
contempt the log king that Jupiter sent them,
on account of the familiarity such a king per-
mitted; but they were compelled to respect
and fear the stork, their later king, who de-
voured them as he willed.
Looking back at the list Of leaders of the
French people, from "Little Nap" to Gam
beta, it would appear that the stork king
was what they most admired, and, judging
from his past career, this is about what they
are going to have in the person Of Gen.
Boulanger, the present minister Of war in the
de Freycinet cabinet.
