CURSING WOMEN.

Erlinda Gomez and Victorianna GO
mez, two Mexican women, were before
the recorder this morning, charged
with using insulting ana abusive Ian
guage toward Marconia Gomez and
Rafaella Rosalez, two other Mexican
women, whom, as the testimony devel-
oped, they cursed near the cemeteries
yesterday without any provocation.
It grew out of an old quarrel between
the women some time ago. The re-
corder fined the two offenders IS each,
but dismissed the case as to Erlinda
Gomez upon reconsideration, she hav-
ing an infant child and no money with
which to pay her fine, which would
have necessitated her either taking
the child to Jail or being separated
from it until her fine was paid.

A SMOKY QUESTION.

1. H. Tanner, a colored barber, con-
Quoting a sop at sic East Houston
street, was before Recorder Lewis this
morning complaining of the smoke and
odor emanating from the kitchen OF
John Miller's lunch stand in the rear
of the Maverick building.
The recorder heard the testimony
and dismissed the case against Miller
but instructed him to raise his stove
pipe and try and prevent the smoke
entering the barber shop.
In this case Recorder Lewis and At
torney Hertzberg placed different con-
structions on the ordinance regulating
nuisance, Mr.. Hertzberg claiming
this case came under that head while
the Judge thought If the wind carried
the odor the defendant could not pre-
vent it and was. therefore not response
BILE for it, being merely in connection
with Mr.. Miller's business.

RELIABILITY VS.. CHANCE.

When buying a piano or an organ
it would be well for the purchaser to
consider carefully the reliability of the
party, or house, he purchases from.
If you buy from a reliable house, you
are protected and if the instrument
they sell you, does not give satisfaction,
you'll find no trouble in adjusting the
matter. If, on the 9th n hand, you
buy from travelling commission agents,
who are here today and away tomor-
row, you may find it difficult to find
such persons, should the piano they
sell you prove defective.
DON'T GIVE LIEN NOTES WHEN
BUYING PIANOS OR ORGANS.
Commission agents demand them to
satisfy the manufacturer, as they are
used as collateral, and must be met at
maturity. After the lien notes are
given, the title to the piano reverts
back to the manufactuI or holder
of the notes, unless they are paid.
Another point we'll worthy of consid-
Grafton, is the bill of ladimg. Demand
this before you receive the piano in
your house, and you can see by it
whether the piano comes direct from
the factory, and WHEN.
We do not demand NOTES when sell
ling pianos or organs; We have beer

HENRY TERRELL RESIGNS.

George Dullnig Appointed General
Manager OF The Gulf Shore
Henry Terrell, who was appointed
general manager of the San Antonio
and Gulf Shore railroad several
weeks ago, has resigned. The only
reason of this action that can be
learned is that Mr.. Terrell is DESTROYS
of reSuming his law practice. 1t is
said that he rendered his resignation
Tuesday evening, effective yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Terrell was seen by a Light re-
porter on Tuesday and said that ev-
erything was moving along nicely d
the road, but intimated nothing of the
subsequent turn Of affairs. 1t is I'M
derstood from other sources that part
~ the cause of Mr.Terrelrs resignation
is that his ideas and those of others
did not coincide regarding a num-
Der OF proposed changes in the road.
Mr.. Terrelrs successor as general
manager is George Dullnig. who was
appointed by Mr.. Oscar Bergstrom
as trustee, yesterday.
A deed was filed yesterday. convey

JOCKO'S SUNDAY OUT.
Monkey Has a Good Time in a
Boston Bird Store.
ne Released the Parrots and other Crea-
lures and Dined on Dainty Gold
fsh-His Tragic Capture by
Two Policemen.

A sad-faced monkey with a fringe OF
agricultural chin whiskers got out OF
his cage in bird store on Broomfield
street, says the Boston Evening Trans
cript, and, owing to the absence OF
everyone from the store, he was not put
back i'll il again until about IL o'clock at
night. When he did go it was at the
instance of two policemen armed with
long poles, who had broken through
the door in order to stop the devasta-
ton which he was causing in the in
terror, and he returned to imprisoE-
ment with the proud consciousness that
he had done everything which mon
key could do to make it interesting for
the other occupants of the store.
His first act on escaping from the
cage appears to have been to let out the
Parrots. There are many brilliant
Eued African parrots in the store, and
the color scene created by their re-
lease seemed to please the monkey i'm
mensely, for he attempted a closer ac-
Quaintance with them. The parrots,
however, were coy, and sought the
cages at the top of the store, so that the
monkey was only able to pull out the
tail of one of them. After this, the ar
tistically arranged cages in the window
caught his eye, and for awhile he
amused himself by piling these up in
heap on the fooI, but soon he longed
again for the pleasures of the chase.
There were several rabbits in the store,
which he let out and chased round and
round, finally choking them to death.
about this time he began to gethungry,
and his eye CHANGING to light on the
goldfish which were swimming about
in glass globes in the center of the
store, he thought they would do for a
meal. He first tried to snatch them
out, but this process was too slow, and
he pushed one of the globes over,
smashing it, and scattering the fish
about on the floor.
The monkey picked them up and ate
them, and then pushed over another

CAME TO SEE A BICYCLE.
Owned a Horse Ranch and His Business
Was Ruined.


There goes one er tn goldarned
things, George!"
The speaker was a white-bearded
man fully 20 years of age and, from his
appearance, evidently farmer. The
person addressed was younger man,
his high-heeled boots and red necktie
also denoting the agriculturist.
1t was at the Morrison street bridge
and just before five o'clock in the morn
ing. The gray night mist had not yet
lifted from the river, but these two men
had risen from their beds-impelled by
curiosity to see bicycle.
''Yes, sir" answered the elder of the
two, in response to a question, were
out yere on this bridge ter see bicycle
"a critter neither of us has ever seen
afore. You see, we live in the noun
tains back in Clatskanie, and bicycles
don't come our way.
Eve come up the river on the G. w.
Shaver, an comm up, George says ter
me: Pop, did yer ever see bicycle? p
an had to admit that hadn't, altho'
/ understand TIL pesky things are
plenty enough, judgin' from TIL figures
published in tn papers regardin' tn
output of tn factories buildin' them.
But this is tn first time I've bin ter
town in nigh on 10 years, an fer tn life
of me KANT recollect seem one of TIL
machines then.
$50 jest asked tn purser where tn
best place to catch sight of bicycle
early in tn mornin' was in Portland,
an he told me tn bridge here ahead
of tn steamer. Well, was that pes
kered to see one that routed George
out so soon as it was daylight, an we've
been standin' on this bridge ever since
waitin' fer bicycle man ter come
along" Then, turning to his compan-
ion, the old man said:
"Well, if I did rout yer out kinder
early, we're the most interested,
George"
Eyer bet 1 ami" George replied; and
then the younger man went on to tell
what the bicycle had done for the horse
raiser and farmer. He has a band OF
some 600 horses on the range and 90
acres of oats. Five years ago these
horses would average $25 per head un-
broken, and he received 60 cents per
bushel for the oats not used in getting
his horses in condition for market. To-
day the horses can hardly be given
away, and his oats bring 81 cents. And
this he ascribes to the bicycle.
And so the two men sat, perched on
the bridge railing, watching, as the
morning grew on, the increased num-

JOCKO'S FISH SUPPER.

globe, perhaps just to see if it would
make as pretty noise as the other.
Then he chased the parrots some more,
and pushed over more globes until
there were none left. After this he
seems to have discovered the supplies
Of different kinds of bird food at the
back of the shop, and began pulling
these packages to pieces and throwing
them at the parrots.
1t was this performance which at
tracted the attention of two policemen.
Looking through the window they saw
what was wrong inside, and, as the door
was locked, and there was no time to go
for the owner, they broke the glass in
the door and gained an entrance in that
way. It hardly. seemed credible that a
man of ordinary girth, to say nothing
of policeman, could get through the
narrow place, but it is on record that
the two policemen did actually go in
this way, for they chased the monkey
at least an hour before they succeeded
in getting him back in his cage. He
showed marked agility in avoiding
them, bounding from the floor 10 the
cages at the side of the room, and from
one side to the other, until their eyes
stuck out of their heads in the at
tempts to follow his movements. FL
nally they determined that the monkey
was better at the game than they were,
and, hunting around, they found two
sticks about six or eight feet long
With these they stirred up the monkey
when he got upon the cages at the side,
but the trouble was that at the same
time they stirred up the parrots, AM
when they had done this the noise anG
confusion were so great that theycould
hardly tell which was monkey, which
were parrots and which were police
men,
Finally the monkey was corneret
and then driven along the wall and.intc
his cage, and the policemen crawled on
again through the hole in the glass
The store looked like moving day, blu
the cause of it all was wholly unin
iured, and in as good condition as evcu
except that he was drinking q goo'
deal of water.

EVIDENCE FOR uueTeeRr.

Three witnesses say They eaw the
Missing Woman on May 8 and 4.
Chicago, Sept. A.-Yesterday's pro-
ceeding in the Luetgert trial were the
most remarkable that have occurred
within three weeks. In the face of the
sensational circumstantial evidence
that has been produced to prove that
Mrs. Luetgert met death in her hus-
bands sausage factory on May l. three
witnesses testified that they saw the
woman alive on May and Z. One of
these witnesses talked to her. and be-
lieved from a description and photo
graph of Mrs, Luetgert that the wo-
man he saw was Mrs. Luetgert. This
witness was Matt j., Sholey. a bar
keeper at the Hotel Maple. Kenosha,
Wis. On cross examination by States
Attorney Deneen Witness Sholey at
first fixed the weight of the woman he
saw at 100 or 140 pounds. Then he hes
itated-said he got mixed up-and re-
marked that the woman weighed 1l5
to 1lS pounds. which was Mrs. Luet-
gert's weight This hesitation and cor
rection was made much of by the pros
ecution. which intimated that 1t indi-
cdteu tHdt onoiey Hau' IorBolten tne
weight that probably had been told him
at first. Policeman Henry Feldshaw,
of Kenosha, Wis, also identified the
picture Of Mrs. Luetgert as closely re-
sembling a woman he saw on May 8,
as did William G. Grunston, a clerk In
the Grant hotel, Kenosha.
Emma Schimpke came into the court
room in the afternoon to hear Rosa
Gleich impeach her evidence given on
Wednesday. She was fighting mad
when she heard herself made out
falsifier. She was called to the stand
and cross examined, and admitted that
she might have told other witnesses
she had testified falsely.
