LUETGERT HAS A TEMPER.
Quarrels With One of the Lawyers in
His Case.

Chicago, Oct. 3O.-There is strong
probability that ex-Judge Vincent will not
appear as counsel for Adolph L. Luetgert
in his second trial, which is scheduled for
next week. Luetgert sent for ex-Assist-
ant States Attorney Ramsay to consult
with him relative to taking charge of the
new trial A very heated converse ton,
it is said, took place between the sausage
maker and his counsel at the all. Elk
Judge Vincent asked Luetgert to agree
to a reasonable continuance of the case.
but he was obdurate. Mr.. Vincent then
told Luetgert that he had neglected his
own business for three months to try
the case and he now proposed to have
little time for himself. Luetgert became
very angry and sent for Attorney Ram
say.
Luetgert appeared before Judge Chef
lain with Attorney Phalen and had his
case continued to the next term of court
on his own motion. States Attorney De-
neen was present. Previous to the con-
tinuance it had been positively agreed by
counsel that Luetgert's second trial
should begin in November, and Luetgert
wanted this understood. It was necessary
to have Luetgert ask for the continuance,
as under the law of Illinois a prisoner
held through four terms of court without
a trial is entitled to his freedom. Luet-
CERT had been held that length of time, as
the disagreement of a jury counts no
trial. Unless he himself asked for the
continuance, States Attorney Deneen
would have placed the case on call and
brought it up for trial at once.

1T WASN'T PULLMAN
But I. 7. Woodruff Vino Invented
the Sleeping Car

Watertown, N. Y, Oct. 3O.-The popular
notion that George NJ. Pullman invented
the sleeping car is incorrect. The fact
is that Theodore T. Woodruff, for many
years a resident of this city, invented and
patented the first sleeping car, and
George NJ. Pullman paid him SlS6, 900 for
his right to the invention.
Woodruns first patent was granted
early in the sos, and after considerable
difficulty he got permission from Erastus
Corning, then president of the New York
Central, to place it on that road for trial.
He ran it for six months, and then took
it to the Pennsylvania road for inspec-
ton. Thomas Scott and James Roberts
saw it at Pittsburg and made a bargain
with Woodruff for it,
Pullman then began to contest Wood
rufus patents and was defeated in the
United States courts. He then bought
Woodruf's patents and the latter retired
from the business in 1861.
Pullman made improvements on the
Woodruff car, but the original plan never
was changed, and the present sleeping
car is on the same principle as the one
built by Woodruff.

THIS SOUNDS so FRENCH.
Miss Van Zandt Used to Divert a
Demonstration Against NJ. Ferry.

Paris, Oct. 3O.-A remarkable story is
going the rounds as to the real animus
of the tremendous demonstration in
March, 1885, against Miss Marie Van
Zandt, the American singer. NJ. Goron.
formerly a high official at the prefecture
of police, declares that the memorable
and offensive attack upon the singer was
engineered by the followers of M. Ferry
to counteract an intended demonstration
against him by the Radicals and Social
lists after the disastrous defeat of the
French at Lang Son, AMMAN.
M Camercase, the project of police of
the day, was consulted as to how to pre-
vent the intended demonstration against
the unpopular NJ. Ferry, and, according
to M. Goron, he suggested a monster
demonstration against Miss Van Zandt.
All the available detectives and theatre
cal cliques We're sent to the Opera Com
ioue to. howl at and hiss the American
singer.
Whenever there was a lull in the up
roar the cry was raised that Miss Van
Zandt was going out by another door,
and so successful was the trick that the
excitement was maintained until mid
night and the attention of the intending
anti-Ferry demonstrators was diverted
until it was too late to go to the foreign
office.

BACK FROM EUROPE.
Mr.. and Mrs. n. C. Bowman Return
From Two Months Travel.

Mr.. H. c. Bowman and wife returned
yesterday from two months tour of
England and Scotland. eve left New
York on the Mohawk on August 20" said
Mr. Bowman. There were about 60 pas
sengers aboard and 400 head of cattle. We
were twelve days between New York and
Liverpool. The water was as smooth as
a mill pond. Lieutenant Gregg of Fort
Leavenworth was the only other passen-
ger from Kansas. He was on his way to
St. Petersburg, where he will spend the
winter.
I'VE were in Scotland most of the time.
The railroads are far behind those of our
own country. The service is poor and
the third class is no cheaper than our
first class. The hotels are excellent and
are very comfortable. The baggage is
not checked, but each passenger looks out
for his own. The man who takes your
vaIise to the cab expects tip, SO does the
man who puts it on; the driver will not
touch it. The porter who takes it off
wants a fee, and in fact every employee
everything he does Things are not
cheap there as they are in this coun-
try.
AT present Great Britain is greatly ex-
cited over the engineers strike. 1t is
good thing for the american producers,
and the English markets are being sup
piled from this country. The scenery of
Scotland resembles that of our own noun
tain country, but cannot say that as a
whole there is any more magnificent
scenery there than here. The weather
is very damp and to me disagreeable.'

SUNDAY PERFORMANCES
Are Likely to be Abandoned at the
Coates.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 3O.-Kansas
City society has not sanctioned the
opening of the Coates opera house for
regular performances on Sunday night,
and the experiment viii probably be
given up.
Manager NJ. H. Hudson was not to be
seen, but his brother, Lon Hudson, said
that there were only a few Sunday
night attractions booked for this sea-
son, and he did not know whether
others would be engaged or not.
There have been but two - Sunday
night openings at the Coates this sea-
son, both of them being '-frOsts' of the
first quality.
It was the boast of the late Colonel
Kersey Coates that the house had new
er been opened for theatrical perform
ances on the Sabbath. Not until the
death of Mrs. Coates last summer,
could the other members of the family
be induced to consent to the plan which
has been recently tried with such indif-
ferent results.
1.-The members of the family have al
ways been opposed to opening the house
on Sunday for anything except Iect-
ures and high-class musical entertain
ments," said Postmaster Homer Reed,
a SOn-in-laW of the late Colonel Coates
and representative of the Coates es-
tate. AT the same time I believe the
patrons of the house resent this de-
parture from Coates house traditions.
Nothing is said about it in the will.
However, Mr.. HudSon's lease contains
a clause which was intended to prevent
the giving OF certain classes of enter
tainments, such as light opera on Sun
day We never thought it would be
necessary or profitable to depart from
the standard established by Colonel
Coates, and I regret that the condition
of the theater business in the last few
years has made the experiment seem
advisable to Mr.. Hudson"

HENRY GEORGE

There are few men living in the
New York today whose death would
cause that intensity of sorrow and re-
gret which has been OccasiOned by the
sudden and tragic demise of Henry
George. There are doubtless men as hon
est, men as pure, men as patriotic. men
as philanthropic, men as able, men as
high minded as he, but there are few
men in whom are found combined all
these qualities to so large a degree.
The best years of his life have been
spent in an unceasing effort for the bet
terment of humanity in its relation to
the economic problems of the age and
he died in the harness.
He was ever the friend of the down
trodden and oppressed. He yielded
his life to their service.
He was an enthusiast in humanity's
cause and his enthusiasm FASTENED his
end. His physical frame was unequal
to the task of keeping pace with his
mentality.
He can lily be spared. The country
and that part of it in which he resided
especially so-needs more men like him
Whatever views he held and however
radical none will say that he was not
honest in them or that he did not be
lieve his theories put into practice
would lead to the betterment of man
kind
Considering the fact that he has been
almost continuously identified with the
politics of the country and has twice
been a candidate for office, perhaps no
greater compliment could have been
paid to his integrity and manhood than
that of Senator Hanna who said of
him yesterday: He was no dema-
gOgue''
Mr.. George was one of the few public
men who believe that the decologue and
the Golden Rule have place in poll
tics.
He is dead but his work will live. He
has left an imprint on the public mind
which cannot be effaced.
The seeds which he continued to SOW
almost to the very hour of his death
have fallen on fallow ground and will
bring forth an abundant harvest. It
may not be ready for the reaper next
Tuesday, but if the disciples of the
great tribune were as sincere and as
faithful to his teachings as they would
have been to the teacher had he lived
there could be little doubt of the re
suit of the approaching election. When
he told them that the election of Seth
Low would be victory for himself he
pointed out the way that they should
go
The president of Columbia university
is now the only candidate who stands
for the people as against the bosses
for good government as against ring
rule and all that it implies.

ALASKA WINTERQUAKTERS
Steamers Frozen in All Along the
Yukon.

San Francisco, Oct 3O.-The steamer
Excelsior, which arrived from st. Michael
last night, brought the news that the river
steamers Alice and Merwin, with 200 peO-
pie aboard bound for Dawson City, which
were caught in the ice in Boring sea off
the mouth of the Yukon, were released by
a sudden breaking up of the foes three
weeks ago, and are now on their way
up the river. They will not get far, how
ever, and it was the intention of their
commanders to find safe and easy har-
Dor in some slough and there lay up for
the winter, being frozen in where there
would be little danger in the breakup
next spring. They may be able to get
200 miles up the river.
The steamer Mare Island, which it was
hoped would be able to get into the river
this fall is now wintering at Stebbins, a
point in the southern slough of the Yukon
not far from the Boring sea, but suff-
GENTLY inside to be protected from the
storms and to be out of danger of the
ice crush.
The Dwyer is at the same place. The
commanders of both steamers are making
it as comfortable as they can on board
and will stay with the boats until the
ice breaks up next spring. The steamer
J. J. Healy left st. Michael two days be-
fore the Excelsior started south, and was
able to get inside the river mouth 1t
was understood that she would be sent
up a hundred miles and then sheltered in
a slough, to be frozen in.
The Hettie B. and the Stoneman are in
side the mouth of the river and are
thought to be at Stebbins.
Should all the supplies on the Weare,
which is at Fort Yukon, be eaten during
the winter, and should the Healy remain
outside, there will be three steamers, the
Hamilton, which is at the Russian mis-
sion, the Bella and the Alice, each of the
last two with a barge, to start at the
first possible moment and furnish food
for Dawson-nearly or quite a thousand
tons of provisions to go forward the mo-
ment navigation opens, but until then
there will be much suffering.

PALISADES NOT IN DANGER
Members of the New Jersey Board
Says the Hudson's Banks are Safe.

Trenton, N. J., Oct 90.-William CIoke.
a member of the state board of riparian
commissioners. said the other day that
much of the talk about the threatened
destruction of the Palisades was founded
on a misrepresentation of the facts. The
Riparian commissioners. he said, had
adopted measures that would put a stop
to the work of destruction save at a few
spots where quarrying is now carried on
Few people understand said Commits
sioner CIoke, that in the ten or eleven
miles of the Palisades in New Jersey
there are only four quarries. that only
three of these are worth taking into ac-
count, and that only one is actually blast
ing into and quarrying rock from the YER
teal wall of the Palisades themselves
The commissioners will exhaust their
powers and those of the state to prevent
any further DETACHMENT of any of the
Palisades or the slope by any quarrying
firm whose operations come under the
protecting act"

A TINE FOR EXPLANATION.
Ex-Attorney General Harmon Tells
How it was About the U. P. Deal

Cincinnati. O., Oct. 3O.-Judge Harmon,
who was attorney general under the last
administration of President Cleveland, has
given out the following statement regard
ing the proposed sale of the Pacific rail-
ways:
Among the criticisms of the Union Pa
cific situation it is publicly declared by
some that the foreclosure of the govern
ment's lien the main line and of that
on the Kansas Pacific line should have
been in a single suit, and that possible
loss by breaking the unity of the proper
ties might have been avoided by after
ward consolidating the several suits
This statement is wholly unfounded. AS
the property is in seven different states
and judicial districts, a separate suit had
to be brought in each. The disadvantage
of this to the government was plain from
the start. Accordingly, in a bill for
settlement presented at the request of
congress by Mr.. Olney he inserted pro-
vision authorizing foreclosure of all the
government liens in single court, if suits
should become necessary. The bill failed
and this provision with it.
In the attorney generals report for 1895
(p. 25) the subject was again urged upon
the attention of congress as follows:
LAS it may become advisable or neces-
sary for the government to institute legal
proceedings against one or both of the
companies above named, beg to call at
tentfon to the necessity of a law giving
some proper court in the district of Co
lumbia Jurisdiction of the entire property
and of all the parties in interest What
has been hereinbefore said as to the gen
eral necessity of giving one court full
Jurisdiction in such cases applies with
equally especial force here. Such pro-
vision was included in the bill prepared
by Attorney General Olney at the request
of the last congress. (See his report for
1894 p. xvii 1t should now be put in
the form of a separate act, so as to be
made Independent of any particular plan
of reorganization. Until the passage of
such an act, any attempt of the govern
ment to protect its rights by litigation
will be greatly hampered-'
A general law for all like causes was
recommended (p. pa. The attorney gen
eral followed his report by preparing
bill which was introduced by both Sena-
tors Morgan and Brice on December 20,
1895. (54th congress, first session, vol Is,

GOV. ATKINSON on MODS.
Favors Aiming Prisoners for Self
Protection.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. SO.-NIob law was Sc
verely condemned by Governor Atkinson
in his message to the Georgia legislature
He advocates stringent legislation against
mobs, and insists that the legislature
pass law laying every county wherein
such a crime is committed subject to a
large indemnity to the relatives of the
mob victim. The northern lynchers are
spoken of by the governor. On this sub
ject he says:
ern people, who have less excuse to pro-
woke them to it, lynch. Let US not take
them as standard. but rather show a
higher type of civilization in our state
and erect here a standard to which they
may aspire"
The governor is in favor of arming the
prisoners and allowing them to protect
themselves from mobs.

STOCK FROM NEW MEXICO.
The Total Shipments for 1897 Will
Be Over 100000.

Santa Fe, N. M, Oct. so. B. Mandy
of Trinidad yesterday shipped 5000 head
of sheep from this point over the Santa
Fe route via Denver to L. F. Stockweu of
Shelton, Neb., and o. E. Haskins of Lin
coin and today sent out a special train
of $500 sheep to W. J. Farr of Greeley,
Col They were inspected here by P. J.
Towner of the Colorado live stock COM
mission.
To date Inspector Towner says 100, 900
head of sheep have been shipped into
Colorado from New Mexico this season,
and he estimates the total shipments
since June from this territory at fully
half a million, the average price paid be-
ing $3.50, or $S25, 900 in all. The inspector
estimates that cattle shipments since
March Is last from New Mexico have
been 1874, 942 head, sold at an average value
of $40 per head, or total of Sc, SOS, $40. This
with the wool sales of 1900 900 pounds at
an average of over 10 cents yields SO, OOO,-
900 to the people of New Mexico for the
year, which is fraction over $3.50 per
capita for every man, woman and child
in the territory.

The easiest story to start is a mar
rying story.
Did you ever know a good farmer
who was a good politician?
You can see something nice in any
man who gives you business.
Any man who holds a particularly
good job has a distinguished look.
A man whose principal pleasure in
life is eating. soon gets the dyspepsia,
and can't enjoy that
Every woman secretly envies the wo-
man who can get out of work by fall

When a sensible girl gets hold of a
good position, she never resigns, never
marries, and never dies.
After a man gets married, he takes
more criticism from his employer with
out showing a disposition to talk back.
