NEARING THE CLOSE.

Railing nv the Court In the Cronin Trial
Causes the Prosecuting Attorney to Rest
His Case
CHICAGO, Nov. 14-At the opening
of the Cronin trial yesterday morning,
Judge Mcconnell announced his deci-
sion on the question of going into the
past history of the Clan-na-Gael.
The last witness on the stand tho
previous afternoon was Expressman
Brown He is an ex-member of the
Clan-na-Gael. He was asked whether
or not he preferred charges against DR..
Cronin in 1885, the States Attorney
explaining that he proposed to show by
the witness that this was fact; that
Daniel Coughlin was member of the
trial committee, and that DIR. Cronin
was expelled from the organization.
The logical consequence of the ad-
mission of this testimony was a COM
plete investigation of the Clan-na-Gael,
at least so far as it could be made, to
show causes for animosity against DIR.
Cronin on the part of any one of the
prisoners at the bar.
This offer led to the most earnest and
prOtracted argument between counsel
for the State and counsel for the de-
Tense that has yet taken place during
the trial. Nearly every lawyer engaged
in the case on either side had something
to say during its progress, and there was
much plain speaking. The talk oc-
cupied the time till adjournment and
Judge Mcconnell announced that he
would hold the matter under advise
ment and would render his decision
yesterday morning. In accordance with
that arrangement when the court was
called to order yesterday morning
Judge Mcconnell announced his opin-
ion to be that the evidence sought to be-
elected from Expressman Brown on
the points named was incompetent and
ruled it out.
This decision, of course, rendered
any further attempt to examine Ex-
pressman Brown futile, and Officer
McKinnOn, of Winnipeg, who was on
the stand Tuesday, was recalled. He
testified that Burke told him he had as
sumed the name of J. w. Cooper be-
cause two men were watching him.
At the opening of the trial in the at
ternoon States Attorney Longeaecker
said that in view of the courts ruling
in the matter of evidence as to ;,ist do
ings of the Clan-na-Gael, the State
would only put one more witness on
the stand-a man named Chancey,
from New York, who, he said, was not
now in the city.
1t was suggested, in view of this an
nouncement, that the court adjourn
until Monday to give the defense time
to prepare its case, but it was finally
decided to adjourn until Saturday
morning, which was accordingly done.

-~x-.n consul speaks DisparaginEly
Of Their Methods Of AGricuiture.
WASHINGTON, Nov. A-Robert n.
Turner, Of Kansas, the new Copsul to
Cadiz, Spain, has only recently arrived
at his post, but his first report to the
State Department has just been pub
hshed. Mr.. Turner has been accus-
toned to the methods OF agriculture
observed in Kansas, and he concludes
that farming in Spain is in primitive
state. He is accordingly convinced
that Spain offers an excellent market
Tor American farm machinery.
The primitive methods of farming
were a surprise to me,n says Consul
Turner. Grain is cut with small
reaping hook and threshed as in the
time Of the Caesars, that is. by tramp
ing it out with asses hitched to a stone
boat. The pillow is crooked stick
pointed with iron. In the towns are.
to be seen heavy wooden carts drawn $
by oxen. Most of the carrying.
transferring, etc., is done by
donkeys. Sand, brick, lumber-in
fact, almost every thing that has to be
moved is carried on their backs.
These animals are used all through
Spain and for every purpose, in the
same way in which we use them in the
almost impossible canons of the Rocky
Mountains. Around the depots I saw
no such things as trucks for moving
trunks and freight. All such work is
done by men,. Saratoga trunks are
loaded on their backs and carried from
cart to cart"
Mr.. Turner says that while Spain is
almost exclusively an agricultural
country, it is not farmed. He thinks
it fought to be electrified by American
machinery" and then Spain could pro-
duce its own food, with the exception
of tea, coffee and rice, and have a.
large surplus for export.
I'm the meantime" he says, "Amer-
| lean shippers and packers will find it
much more profitable to supply these
markets with meats and breadstuffs
direct instead of through English and
German channels"

THE TRIP ENDED.

The Pan-Americans Close Their Junket-
ing Tour.
WASHINGTON, Nov. I4.-Just forty
two days after the morning of October
8, when the special train bearing the
international American excursion
party pulled out of the Pennsylvania
railroad station in Washington, the
same train, headed by the same loco
motive which has drawn it nearly 5000
miles, rolled triumphantly into the cap
itol city and drew up at the station,
having successfully completed the most
interesting and, from a railroad stand
point, the most extensive trip ever UNI
dertaken by one train. How the ex-
cursiOn has resulted in furthering the
important objects which the Amer
lean conference was called to attain
has been eloquently told by the dele
gates themselves through the me-
dunn of the Associated Press. But
it might be proper to add upon the
authority of one of the United
State delegates who had accompanied
the party over several of its thousands
of miles traversed that the effect upon
our own people had been most bene-
fetal, and that as q consequence OF
their association and exchange of ideas
with the delegates, many of the mer-
chants and business men in the diff
ferent towns and cities where the
tourists have been entertained and in
structed have had their attention
seriously directed to the vast COM
mercial possibilities of the nations
lying south of the United States, while
the people generally are awakened to
the fact that we should feel the deepest
interest in the welfare and prosperity
of the sister Republics,

FROSTY HUMAN NATURE.

What q Reporter Heard In Stove Store
One Cold October Morning.
A Free Press reporter was in stove
store on Michigan avenue when man
came rushing in and said to the pro-
prietor:
Have you gone into lying for a
trade?"
"Oh, no."
swell, you lied about that stove"
''Man on his way up there now to put
it up. Rushed to death, you know. Hope
you haven't suffered"
The next caller was a woman, who
fastened cold glare on the stove man
and deliberately said:
''I'll never do a cents worth of bust.
ness with you again if I live here fifty
years!''
''Stove-pipe is on the wagon there and
ready to go up, ma'am. Woke up in the
night to hope you wouldn't be put out. u
The third caller was a boy, who stood
in the door and called:
"Hey, you! My father says he'd like
to knock your head off,
''Oh, yes, you are Mr.. Blanks SON

that damper ten minutes ago. Lost the

How Sauer-Kraut is Made.

Sauer-kraut is net laughed at as much
IS it used to be, and is eaten more. It's
consumption is no longer confined to
Germans, and it is sold here in large
quantities to almost all restaurants and
eaten by people who like stimulating
food. At picnic this month 1 sold ten
barrels of it, dealt out in saucers.
Doesn't that show that it is favorite
article of food? The business of making
sauer-kraut is confined to a very few
people in the city. They buy the cab
bage-hard and compact heads
are the best-cut it up, salt
it down and allow it to
ferment. Then they sell it to the
places where it is retailed, and at these
the last touches of flavor are added. It
is these last touches that make the diff
ference in sauer-kraut, and sometimes
the quality of the kraut at one place
will be so much better than that at
others that lovers of the dish will travel
from one end of the town to the other to
etast it.-St- Louis Globe-Democrat-

Uuser Heinrich.

ser's brother. is the idol of the Ger
man naval service. He is the "Unser
Heinrich" OF the navy. just as his inn
perial father used to he the ''Unser
Fritz" OF the army. and countless sto.
ries are told to illustrate his good ma
tnre, his devotion to his profession
and his phv steal prowess. Once, when
the Olga, of which he was then q
watchkeeping lieutenant, was lying in
the Gulf of kiel. the order was given
through him for all hands TO battle.
The weather was chilly. and an OFF,
Ger remarked To the prince that the
water must be far too cold to be pleas

order should be aunuiied. Without a
word Prince Henry, who was on the
bridge, sprang thence into the sea.
SWAN to the Jacobs ladder astern,
climbed on board again, and mount

officer do you say SO now2" There
was no reply. and the prince, instead
Of going below to change, remained on
the bridge in his wet clothes until his
watch Was relieved. Another story II.
illustrates the princes activity. One day
at Wiihelmshsven he put thaler be
tween his teeth and dashed up the
rigging OF his ship. crying, He whe
catches me shall have the thaler.
Although he was pursued by thu
whole OF the ships company not or

swinging himself by q rope to the
deck, he turned 10 the nearest OF hi:
pursuers and said laugbingly: IF yor
