Great Men.

One of the special privileges that
New York offers is the facility with
which the New Yorker, or the sojourn-

all kinds of men. but many men of a
kind. Thus the other evening stroll

running my eye over the customers
who chanced to be in at that particular
time recognized distinguished men,
ber of Congress, two journalists whose
renown reaches beyond seas, q great
actor whose name is familiar in every
country where art is known, cham
pion prize-fighter, various other celeb
rites in differing walks of life, and Eve
murderers. In the last mentioned
class one of the chief figures was the
gambler-thug, murderer of Jenny
Elliott, namely. the picturesque and
barbarically splendid Jere Dunn. The
others were murderers of lesser degree,
speaking with reference to the popular
excitement which their crimes created,
but all murdercrs. and all in familiar
association with the member. of Con-

A Faithiess Wife, Cay Drummer
and a Wrati1fuI Husband.

The above is the title OF Chicago sem
sation, sad but true. The Sherman House
was the scene. The wife OF Henry c. Ber-
ry, who keeps q boarding ouse. displayed
a fondness for j. FL. Wilson, a New York
salesman, who makes frequent visits to
Chicago. Wilson arrived on the 18th and
registered at the Sherman house under the
assumed name OF j. H. Dangels and was
assigned to q room. He was watched
and was seen to dispatch messen-
ger with a note. Later he was seen with a
heavily yelled lady at State and Washing
ton streets, and after going to a restau-
rant, they went to the Sherman house.
Half an hour later the husband, the at
torney, o constable and the hotel clerk
went to the room. No response was re-
ceivcd to a knock, and the constable look
ed over the transom. He saw enough to
warrant the clerk climbing over
the transom and unlocking the
door just as Wilson sprang up,
scantily dressed. armed with q revolver. He
was at once arrested. Just then MIR. Ber-
ry, who mad caught sight of his wife s
form. sprang forward with a yell OF rage
and leveled a revolver a. Wilson. The at.
torney caught him and threw him upon
the floor, while Wilson was led away.
When Mrs. Berry few moments later had
prepared herself for appearance on the
street, she too was taken into Gus tody
and before Justice Bradweli.

the last and spent most OF the night in
chatting with his keepers. At 8 o'clock
Friday morning Sheriff Gushing entered the
