THE CRONIN CASE,
The Murderer Believed to be In New
Mexico and Ceughlin is His Name.

/ CHICAGO, May 25.-The only man who
heard DR.. Cronin's dying cries except his
murderers have been found. He is Will
| liam Merits, milkman who lives near the
cottage where the assassination was COM
mitted. On the night OF the murder he
saw two men drive up to the cottage in q
buggy. One dressed in Il long brown over
coat, such as Cronin Wore, got out. The
other, answering the description Of the
man who came for Cronin in the buggy,
drove rapidly away. Cronln, ii it was he,
went up the cottage steps, the door was
opened before he reached it. AS soon as
he got inside it was closed and the milk
man heard the cries as ii men were fight
ing. He believed then it was the time Of
his death. Revelations this morning
throw strong suspicion OF completely in the
murder of Cronin on detective Dan Cough
lin, Of this city police force and show
gross incompetency if nothing worse, Of
Capt. Shack, OF the north side police,
under whose orders COughin works. To
begin with, it is known, in fact he admits
it, that Coughlin and Cronin were men,
bers of the same Irish political societies
and were enemies.

facts. On the morning OF the day OF the
murder Couglin engaged from Livery
Stable Keeper Dinan horse and buggy
for friend Of mis-, to be called for that
evening. Also the time when the man
who decoyed Cronln away would have
called had it been he, this friend Of Cough
lin called at the livery stable. He closely
resembled the man who did drive away
with Cronn. He was given q white
horse and drove toward Coughlin's house
The horse was out for two hours and
came back having been hard driven.
These facts were reported to Capt. Setback
by Dinan. Schaack says he called Cough
lin to account. Coughlin said the man
he hired the buggy for was friend OF his
friends in Michigan, that he sent Cough
lin out to see this man, that COughlin re-
ported he found and questioned him and
was satisfied he had nothing to do with
it. Setback admits that he did not re-
quire that man to be brought before him,
but allowed Coughlin, who was himself
under suspicion, to make areport without
any check to prove its truth or falslty.
Setback says he took the horse to Cron-
in's house and the houSekeeper said il
was not the one behind which Cronin
drove away. The housekeeper contra
diets this, and Oman says Coughlin told
him he could not find the man from
Michigan. Coughlin says he is now il

Cattle Business Subsidized.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-E. S. Baker,
United States consul at Buenos Ayres, in

"The cattle industry of the Argentine re-
public is in such languishing condition

says it is understood that several estab.
lishmentS are preparing to take advantage
OF the guarantee and are going into the
business on large scale with a special
steamer fitted up for the traffic and ware
houses in England and France. Great
things are expected from this law by the
Argentines, but Consul Baker says he does
not believe it will hurt the United States
beef shippers much under the methods
adopted for the preparation OF beef for ex'
portation. The number OF sheep in the
Argentine republic is estimated at 80 900
600 and horned cattle at 10000 900.

A SOUTHERN APPOINTMENT.

John r. Mizell, appointed marshal OF
the northern district OF Florida, is chair
man of the Florida Republican state COM
mittee. He was Harrison man at the
Chicago convention. Hitch was indorsed
by the senators from Illinois, it is true,
but he was also indorsed by the Repub-
lican repl lesentative from southern Hi.
nois and by other Republican representa-
tives in the state. He was from the first
the leading candidate for the position.
The fact that he was an original Harrison
man in the state which cast its vote at
the Chicago convention for Gresham, is
said to have been an important factor in
making him the leading candidate with
the politicians.

INFECTION IN BOOKS.
A Source of Contagion Which Has HIthert
Been Neglected.


Since it has become pretty well
established that most, if not all, of our
so-called infectious and contagious
diseases, such as scarlet-fever, diph-
liberia, measles, ard possibly typhoid
fever, are produced and conveyed from
one person to another by means of
minute vegetable germs, much patient
study has been devoted to the question
how these germs find their way into
the human body. and what precautions
should be taken to avoid, as far as pos.
sible, the danger of infection.
The subject of the isolation of pa
tients suffering from contagious dis.
eases has been discussed very thor
oughly in medical societies and jour
nails, and in some countries the most
stringent laws have been made in re-
gard to the isolation of the sick and
the fumigation of houses and clothing.
One source of contagion which now
seems self-evident, but which for a
long time escaped attention, is that of
books from public libraries. When we
reading may have been last in the
hands of some one convalescent from
dread disease, or that it may have
been lying for days or weeks in rooms
far from clean in medical sense. then
the possibility of danger becomes at
once apparent.
Some physicians will not permit
their children to take books out of the
public libraries, thinking it wiser to
avoid all risks.
1t is very possible, however, that the
danger is less than we should be led by
some to suppose, and that it is more
necessary to prohibit the reading of
books for whose cleanliness we can not
vouch, than it is to tell our children to
stop breathing, simply because they
undoubtedly take into their lungs at
every respiration some of the germs
which are known to be constantly
floating through the air.
Yet it is safe to caution those who
read books that have been through
many hands not to moisten the finger
in turning the leaves, for if that be
done, there is afforded better oppor-
tunity for the transfer into the body of
any germ that may be clinging to the
volume.
On the other hand, it is to be re-
membered that we probably run no
greater risk in turning the leaves of
book, even though it has been in homes
of doubtful sanitary condition, than we
do in riding or walking beside people
about whose health we know nothing.

pos of the perils of welded life, which
the Governor told ut his own expense.

little after midnight" One evening
instead of making the inquiry, she said:

TASTE IN DRESS.
A Pleasant Field in Which Many Women
Find Employment.

| Find Employment.
| A young lady who was about selecting
chapeau in one of our leading business
houses the other day remarked that ''it
was enough to make ones hair grow
gray to select something becoming from
the bewildering variety displayed in
the military show-room;' and there is
little doubt but that many women add
several wrinkles to their countenances
each season in this way. 1t might be
supposed that most women would have
little difficulty in suiting themselves
with styles and colors suited to their
complexion, but such is not really the
case, for frequently an article that ex-
cites admiration to look at is quite in
appropriate and unbecoming to wear.
In Europe wealthy women are will
ling to pay high prices to artists in the
millinery lipe for making the selection
of the attire most calculated to enhance
their charms or conceal their defects,
and give themselves no further trouble
except to pay the bills. This is fol-
lowed to some extent in New York.
There are several competent women
who make a business of buying goods,
and are also at the service of any lady
who wishes for their company upon q
shopping expedition.
They are thoroughly posted regard
ing the latest fashions, the prices OF
materials, where the cheapest and best
articles can be found. and their advise
is valuable in regard to what is most
becoming and suitable for those who
employ them. They make no charge
for their services, as the merchants
are willing to give them percentage
on their sales. These ladies are regis
tered at the leading establishments,
and consequently thoroughly reliable,
and as the goods in such houses are
marked in plain figures, no extortion is
possible. Any number of women with
artistic tastes should find employment
in this field. but it requires thorough
acquaintance with every class of wares,
constant study of fashionable liter
ature, business ability and, above all, a
facility of producing the best effect in
dress upon all varieties of age, style
and complexion.
A lady who was always attired with
great taste told us her secret was to
copy the dress of a woman whom she
met on the street, counterpart of her.
SELF and who was dressed to perfec-
tion. 1t is rather a pity that ladies of
wealth should not follow the example
of those of other countries and employ
a lady's maid and companion, as there
are SO many agreeable and well-edu-
Gated young women who would gladly
occupy such a position, and the num-
ber is increasing every day.-N. Y.
