German Etlanette.

Perhaps the best criterion of the
minuteness of German etiquette is the
little unwritten code on pocket man
ners. German good form is shocked by
the helter-skelter condition of the
American pocket. A well-bred German
never allows his keys and his jack
knife, his small change, his shoe but
toner, and his cigar cutter TO jingle
about loosely in his trousers pocket.
The greatest offense against German
pocket manners is to carry small silver
coins loose in the pocket. A German
lieutenant may have only half dollar
TO his name, but he carries ms. big q
purse as il he owned all the notes. of
the Imperial Reichsbank. In paying
for five cents worth of beer he goes
down into his trousers and draws out
his habby pocketbook with dignity,
thanking heaven that he is mannerly,
high-born Prussian, and not a vulgar
tradesman like the American at his
side, who has just slapped down on
the table mess of gold, silver. keys,
aud manicure apparatus. The small
German schoolboy is not even allowed
to carry his car fare without purse.

ANOTHER MYSTERY.
Dr. John Mcmerny Said to Have Recn
Lured West and Murdered.

Dr. John Mcmerny Said to Havo Recn
Lured West and Murdered.
NEW YORK, July 1.-Dr. John Nc
Inerny, one of the four men who are al
legged to have been doomed to death by tho
inner circle of the Clan ma Gael, Is missing.
His friends claim that he was killed before
Cronin was. Shortly before he was last
seen in the middle of April, he received at
the Catholic Pi otector a telegram from
Omaha offering him a good position IL he
would come there Immediately 10 take it.
1t is assumed that he started for Omaha IN
time to have arrive IN Chicago en- route
on April 81. His friends in New York
have written to Omaha to inquire about
the telegram and the alleged position
awaiting him, and have received
replies that after diligent inquiry
no one could be found who was
interested in McJnerny's going TO Omaha,
nor had he been seen there. John Devoy,
who was McInerny's associate in the Irish
Nation, believes McInerny was lured to
his death by the telegram. All agree that
there Is just as good ground for belle wing
that McInerny was assassinated as for tho
assertion that Cronin was slain by the in
ner circle Of the Clan ma Gael, which had
doomed Cronin, McInerny, Dewey and DR..
McCahey, of Philadelphia, to death.
There is evidence to show that traps were
laid for McCahey, just like those that at
first failed with Cronin. Dewey has been
OF enly threatened, rnd men have watched
his movements, not knowing that their
movements were also watched.
Since McInerny disappeared from this
city on April a letter has awaited him
at his address here in which young mar
ried woman seems to hint at an intrigue
witt the missing man His friends hero
believe that he was m, rdered in the Carl
son cottage before Cronin, aud tat the
arrangements made for tn, disposal OF tho
latter's body, but Interrupted, were
carried out i'm McInerny's case.
DIR. McInerny was the most secret and
most trusted agent of tine Irish revolution
ary organizations on both sides OF
the Atlantic. McInorny was the
GO between for the triangle COM
posed of Alexander Sullivan, Michael
Boland and ID. c. Teely OF the Clan ma
Gael here, and the extremists of the Irish
Revolutionary Brotherhood IN Ireland. He
was the man Of all Others who had the key
to many a secret transaction; who was In
full possession OF the underhand workings
OF the Clan-na-Gael. And more than all,
1t was he who, as general agent, knew just
how much money each man sent across to
the other side received from the triangle In
America.
When McInerny began TO compare notes
with emissaries who had returned from
England and Ireland he found that there
was screw loose In the financial depart
ment, and then, having found this out, he
despised the executive and made no secret
of the fact that somebody was dishonest
Hara rhan is n sufIicient cousa for believinQ
that McInery has teen murdered.

A National Nuisance.

Only few days since gentleman
was asked Of the standing and ability
of an individual who wanted an Office.
Il never heard of him." was the prompt
reply. "Oh, yes, you have,p was the
retort. II saw your name on his petit
ton" Why men who know what diff
ficulties beset those who have appoint
ments to make should give their APP
proval to candidates of whom they
know nothing is inexplicable. A gen.
tleman of this city, who. when he ap-
pends his name to an application for
an Office for friend, does so with a
realizing sense Of the more or less i'm
portance which attaches to the act, was
asked to sign request to the Presi-
dent. He declined the importantly of
a third party, stating that the pream-
BILE set forth that the applicant was
personally known to the subscribers.
Il don't know the man." he urged.
"But / tell you he is all right" "That
may be, but must refuse to commit
forgery. He was right. Not only is
there injury done to the public service,
but it introduces q system of hypocrisy
into politics which is most demoral-
izing. Not long since high city Off
cial who had vacancy to fill was called
upon by gentleman who requested
him not to pay any attention to his
name attached to petition for Mr..
Blank, as he only gave it to get rid OF
the fellow. The citizen did not stop
to reflect that his name influenced 9th
ers, and that he owed it to them to
make the explanation he gave to the
city official If he wished to protect his
own honor. or.-BOstoI Journal.

SEVEN INDICTMENTS PRESENTED
AGAINST CONsPIRATORs.

Tho Names Of Ceughiin, Burke, Cooney.
O'sullIvan, Beggs, Woodruff. and John
Kunxe Included No Prcsentment Re-
turned by the Inquisitors Against Alex
ander Sullivan. sk
A Chicago dispatch OF the 1st says:
The special grand jury in the Cronin
murder case has found indictments
against seven men, four OF whom
are now locked up in the county
fail TO await trial for the murder DIR.
r. II. Cronin. The men indicted are;
John #. Beggs senior guardian OF the
famous camp 20 OF the Clan-na- Gael, who
is believed to know something OF the or
ganizing of the mo * tribunal which con-
demned Cronin to death.
Dan Coughlin, the ex-city detective,
who Is supposed to have found the active
men for the work aud TO have been general
director OF the conspiracy.
Martin Burke, the Winnipeg prisoner,
who is believed TO be one of the men in
the cottage at the time of the murder
Patrick Cooney, the "Fox," who was
Burke's "pal" He Is now a fugitive.
p. O'Sullivan, the Lake View iceman,
whose contract with Cronin male IL easy
for the other conspirators to lure the d oc-
tor TO death.
Frank Woodruff, aliar Black, who con-
fessed that he had carried the butchered
body TO its catch basin tomb
John Kunye, young German. His
name had not been mentioned in connec-
ton with the case until the indictment
against him was returned before Judge
Shepherd.
Kunze was a henchman of Dan Cough
Inns and accompanied the deta tive to
d ha xyfci xxroo do To-
Spelman. He Is brought into criminal
connection with the murder through h is
relations with Coughlin, against whom
some new and startling evidence was al
duced just previous to the adjournment
Of the grand jury. when it was CLEANED
that cnnghlin had entered the Carlson cot
tage on the night OF Mey q ase Ju-t noyue
the time tho murder was done, He was
driven TO the place by Klfnze, whose Dict-
ure has been identified fully by Milkman
Mertes. The same picture was also iflen-
tilted as that Of a man who had been seen
around the rooms at III Clark street when
the fiat at that number was occupied by
the furniture afterward found in the Ca l.
son cottage. Kunze had been In trouble
before he became acquainted with Cough
lin, and the detective protected him and
made him q ready tool In his murderous
schemes.
There was considerable surprise OK
pressed over the failure OF the grand jury
to inclrde the name OF Alexander Sullivan
in the list of indictments, bit despite tho
most earnest efforts the jurors were u1a-
BILE to secure any evidence Of nature
that would justify the return OF tie
bill. What was heard was damning in
implication, and some OF the jurors were
anxicu; to base an indictment Oh it.
