NO CONFESSION.
So Far Martin Burke Has Failed to
Throw Light on the CrOnin Murder.
Officer Collins Turns His Prisoner Over to the
Sheriff and He is at Once Placed
in the Common Jail.
A cRoN1N coNsptRAroR.


MONTREAL, 2. @. Aug. 8.-Deteetive
Keller left for Chicago last night. He
says Montreal has been a hOtbed of Gro
min conspirators one OF whom he has been
shadowing for months. He declares the
man viii be arrested in forty eight hours !,
but declines to give further information
BURKE DELIVERED TO THE SHERIFF..
CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. S.-Officer Col
Inns, who acted as extradition messenger
of the president of the United States in
bringing the Cronin suspect Martin
Burke from Winnipeg, delivered his
prisoner to the sheriff this morning and
Burke was locked up in the boys de-
partment of the common jail and guard
placed in the corridor to prevent anyone
from seeing him. This action relieved
Officer Collins of the necessity Of produce
ing his prisoner in court under the habeas
corpus proceedings before Judge Baker,
and as it satisfied the contention of Law
yer Kennedy by placing the prisoner
where his attorney could communicate
with him, the habeas corpus proceeding
was dropped. States Attorney Louge-
necker denies the truth of the statemeEt
that Burke has made confession
BURKE MADE no CONFESSION.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Aug. S.-The
Journal's Winnipeg special says: Chief
of Police MeRae gives denial of the re-
port that Burke made auv confession to
him, but he admits that Chief Hubbard
wants him in Chicago as q witness in the
case. This indicates that Burke made
damaging admissions while here. Chief
Hubbard intimated it was Alexander
Sullivan who had sent Lawyer Kennedy
to Winnipeg with the view of closing
Burke IS mouth.

Pa-WelI, let me see if can illustrate.
You know, am often discourag ed, aud

hopeful. Then l was an optimist. Now

ence between a pesslmist and an opti-
mist?
Small boy-Oh, yes; one is married
and the other isn't.

 OUR KALEIDOSCOPE.

On Saturday, July 18th, the Association of Western Writers concluded very interesting ses- sion of four days duration at Warsaw, Ind, and bade the "City of Lakes" farewell. The following programme for the last evening of the session was carried out and fully appreciated by the large audi ence: Music poem, J. C. Ridpath; Salvation Army, Mora Marks" music; recitation, J. W. Riley "Street Crossings" by l.. May Wheeler music; recitation, by Clarence A. Hough poem, by Mrs. J. N. II. Rooms a chapter, by Mrs. Nj II. CAtherwood music; recitation, by W W.

The recitAtions by various members of the association, as we'll as the readings and papers, all excellent and every body pres ent was we'll pleased. The entire four days session was a very pleasant one.
 There are some newspapers and also certain iDdi- viduas here In the west that are inclined to poke fun at the Western Writers Association; but glancing over the names of its leading members, l am led to think 1t body eminently worthy of the highest respect and consideration When such writers as John Clark Ridpsth, the well known historian; Mary Hartwell Catherwood, whose recent novel, "The Romance of Dollard," in the Century, has brought her both fame and money i; James Whitcomb Riley, General Lew Wallace, Ju0ge cyrus MCNutt many others sCArcely less known among western authors, are its leading spirits it is not to be sneered at organization composed of "lot of incapable, soured and disap- pointed aspirants for literary honors."

She had just returned from Warsaw and enthusiastic over the suc- cess of the meeting, especially its social features and its advantages in thus bringing together a choice lot of kindred spirits whose interests and lAbors are closely united
 Speaking of Mrs. Catherwood and her novel, "The Romance of Dollard," reminds me that 1t is soon to be brought out in book form by the Gen. tury Co. She also has another story, which Is an historical romance of early times in Canada and the northwest and which will soon be published in book form
 am glad to note that at last, after some ten or twelve years, during which time, she has done much good literary work years of toll and wait ing Mrs. Catherwood has won deserving recogni- tion She is a most careful and painstaking writer strong and vigorous in style, and possessing the rare faculty of sustaining the interest of story, both in its dialogue and descriptive parts. She told me that she spent three years gathering the material for "Dollard" before she put her pen to paper. When she had it completed she bundled up the MS, went down to New York and succeeded, when the average persop would have failed, in get
