CHICAGO, June 22.-An important witness in
the Cronin case has turned up. He is George
L. Brooks, a news agent, running on one Of the
railroads coming in at the Union depot
His story is to the effect that on the night of
May he was driving in Lakeview with his
sweetheart, and that happening along Ashland
avenue he saw three men loading the trunk
into the wagon at the Carlson cottage, and that
about half an hour later he saw the same men
dumping the contents of the trunk into the
catch-hasin in which the body of DIR. Cronin
was found
He also says that he saw the men distinctly
and that he will be able to identify them, and
that his female companion also saw them and
that she, too, will be
ABLE TO IDENTIFY THEM.
He is ready to produce the young woman as
soon as the authorities want her.
In explanation of his failure to tell his story
before is that he was afraid of losing his life.
as he believed the men concerned in the mur-
der were SO desperate they would kill any one
who they thought might turn up as a witness
against them. He said the knowledge pos
sessed had SO weighed on his mind that he
could not keep il to himself any longer
and believing it a duty he owed himself
and the community he had at last decided to
tell all he had SEEN
ne urst stipulated tnat ne De given protec-
ton. This was promised. His story was par
TALLY told at the Desplaines-street house
about o'clock last night. Its Importance was
appreciated at once, and the man was sent to

until nearly midnight. He described the three
men whom he saw. and his description of one

last night to the effect that seven members of

IN regard to the Cronin mystery was to be set

Dillon at McCoy's hotel and will probably re-
main here for some time. The captain declined
to be interviewed last night saying that on the

talk about, but at present he had nothing to
say beyond the fact that he came to JOIN forces
with Luke Dillon in helping the authorities
run down the murderers of DIR. Cronin.

New YORK, June 22.-It was reported to-day
that communication had passed between the
police of Chicago and this city with view of
connecting the man, Richard Hallagher, who
shot and killed himself yesterday, with the
murder of DIR. Cronin. Inspector Byrnes said
to-day that no communication had been re-
ceived here from Chicago on that subject, and
he secuted the idea that the dead man had
anything to do with the Cronin murder. On

From .Ieat To Earnest.

1t is often but step from the jest to
the truth. Many years ago three young
English officers stationed at Madras went
down to the beach one evening to re.
fresh themselves by bathing in the sea-.
The sharks were abundant and hungry.
but the young men were Indifferent to
the danger, Cor they did not believe that
these sea wolves would venture so near
to the shore.
They stripped and began frolicking on
the beach and digging holes in the sand.
Lets dig grave for B. and bury
him." said one Of them.
mo, you won'tv' he shouted, and
dashed into the sea. A frightful scream
told them that shark had seized him.
His two companions, splashing in to his
rescue, got hold Of him and the shark let
go. Before they could drag him out the
fish returned to his prey, fastened upon
him, and quickly got him under the
water.
His comrades held on and pulled him
to the beach. They succeeded in rescu-
ing him, but hewas so torn and mangled
that he bled to death on the sands. -Ex-

Proper Credit.

There was simple old Irish gardener
who had laid out his masters garden
very beautifully. He took that pride in
it that all gardeners take in their work.
We all take moro or less delight in our
work, and artists who paint pictures,
men who write books, machinists who
run engines and everybody who has con-
genial work and congenial implements
gets up a certain affection for them. But
did you ever see gardeners hang over
their flowers? Something Of the love OF
mothers for children seems to animate
them. They watch them grow from bud
to flowers with wonderful interest; they
take them up tenderly; they touch
them with care, and when they wither
they cut the withered stem with q Ger.
tain pity which is very creditable to hu.
man nature. This old Irishman was
showing stranger over the grounds,
and with enthusiasm he explained how
he had done everything. what idea he
had in the designs of the flower plots,
and he was taking great pride in it all.
The stranger would frequently point to
some little bit Of design and remark on
its beauty. The Irishman would say:
Eyes, sor. did that"
The stranger pointed to a spreading
tree that threw shadow over the center
of the grounds
"What beautiful tree!"
''Indade it is, sor. God Almighty did
that, sor."-New Orleans Picayune.

Newspaper Storiea.

"Oh that's only newspaper story" is
an expression that falls with special dis.
favor upon the ears of the journalist.
1t is the voicing of sentiment that finds
its growth and development in the in.
creasing recklessness Of the effervescent
reporter and the laxity Of the average
editor and proprietor Of the daily paper.
To get the news first, and to estimate its
truth afterwards, is the dominant idea
in modern journalism to entirely too
great degree. To such an extent has
this evil grown, that, to stamp state
ment with the faint of improbability, to
give it the cloud of doubtfulness, it is
only necessary for it to appear in daily
paper, Our brethren Of the diurnal
press must curb their reportorial Ana.
masses lest they put their papers in the
position occupied by Esop's young man
who cried "Wolf! wolfp when there was
no wolf.-Pittsburg Bulletin

The Lady of LYONS"

1t IS remarkable how so many of our
leading performers have all eagerly come
at last to attempt these favorite charac-
tiers. The interval between the days of
the classical Macready and the roman
tic irving is filed by regular line of
distinguished players 1t must be adj
mitted that there is certain high
flown strain in particular passages, GER
tainly "bombastic.r and which are al
most impossible to deliver without pro-
voking a smile.
Such is the we'll known description of
the palace with which the sutton at
tempts to dazzle the imagination of his
mistress. To the ordinary player this
is, Of course, inexpressibly dear, and
perhaps the most precious morsel Of
fiat" in the whole. Mr. Coghlan, who
played the part with Mrs. Langtry, Judi
ciously leveled down the strained tone
into a more prosaic shape, with excellent
effect. A rather ludicrous tradition
seems to have been jealously preserved
by all performers of the character.
When Claude returns from the wars and
meets his mistress, it is obvious that the
mere change of costume would not pre-
vent instant recognition. which is, how
ever, happily averted by the device Of
sheltering his face behind his cooked
hat and spreading plumes
The gracious, winsome part of Pauline
has been essayed by all our most charm
ing actresses, after being created by the
once irresistible Miss Helen Faucit, and
all, down to Miss Terry. Miss Anderson
and Mrs. Langtry, have increased their
regulations by the performance For
over fifty years it has held it's ground
and is always performed. Nay, it has
been said that there is not a theatrical
night in the year on which it is not being
played at some theatre of the kingdom.
The young beginner, just stepping on the
boards, turns fondly to the effective
gardener SON., and is certain he could
deliver the passage ending, ''Dost like
the picture? "a burst often laughed at,
but never failing to tell Every charac-
ter is good and actable. and, though we
may have seen it fifty times, as most
playgoers have, there is always reserve
OF novelty and attraction left which is
certain to interest. In his preface to the
play the author explains that he had
founded it upon his imperfect recollec-
ton of pretty little story called ''The
Bellows Member" This is the exact
truth, for the main or root" idea is
thus suggested, viz. that of girl being
deceived into a marriage with one of
low degree to crafty the revenge of a
rejected sutton, and being afterward
gained over to love her low born adj
mirer. The character of Pauline is to-
tally different, the original being a rather
energetic person who asserted her rights
in very vigorous fashion. The Gentle

Cellulold for Mathematical Scales,

Surprise is expressed by Photographic

negative was taken, a series of transpar.
ances could be produced at a very low

be, and the production of an intricate
and elaborate scale would in practice be
no more difficult than a simple open di-
vided scale with the usual eighths, quar-
tiers, etc. For calculating scales, slide
rules, ETC., it would be equally applicable,
and seeing that the original scale might
be made on paper Of large size there is
no limit to the accuracy and variety Of
matter that might be included. AS to
exactitude, the finest details would rival
those done by the most accurate dividing
