President Mckinley probably will 60

arranged, but he has been asked to WIS.,

time.

1t is not probable that the McCoy-Cree-
don fight or any other finish fight will be
brought off at Fort Erie or in any other
section of Canada. For some time a party
of New Workers have been endeavoring
to secure in Montreal letters patent of the
formation of the Canadian Athletic Asso-
citation. it's object being to give exhibit
tions of an athletic character. including
boxing. Such letters were issued. last
week. by the Lieutenant Governor but
before signing the papers. the clause rela-
tive to boxing exhibitions was stricken
out ard any attempt to bring off the fight
under this charter will be severely pun
ished. There is a clause in the Canadian
laws permitting glove contests. but OFF,
GERS of the law are always present at such
affairs and stop the exhibition when the
slightest brutality is shown.

PLENTY OF BIG GAME.
Estimated that There Are 10000 Deer Run.
ming Wild in the Woods.

Pennington. Oct. S.-Today terminates
the first week of the deer hunting season
and the woods are full of eager sports
men. One of the oldest guides and most
experienced hunters estimates the number
of deer running at large in the wild for
ests and land of the State at 10000. The
outlook for getting deer is therefore very
good. while the chances for bringing in
moose and caribou are slim. Birds. espe-
cially partrdges, are less numerous this
year than in former seasons.
Since the two large deer that were ta-
ken. last Saturday, near New Vineyard
that had an aggregate weight of almost
700 pounds a good number have been
shipped through this place, all rather
above the average weight. John Fellows,
q local sportsman. shot good-sized doe.

Senorita Cisneros Escapes
from Her Cuban Prison.
At Roll Call, Thursday Morning, the
Little Patriot Is Missing.
Mad Aid from Outside Friends and Govern.
msnt Has No Clue.

Havana. Oct. 1.-The beautiful little
Cuban patriot, Senorita Evangelina
Cossioy Cisneros, heroine of the sensa-
tional adventure with the Spanish gov
ernor Of the Isle of Pines, escaped, last
night. from the Casa de Recogidas
(house Of scrapings) where she had
been confined for several months on
charge Of conspiracy against the crown
Of Spain and of an attempt on the life
Of Gov. Berez, Governor of the Isle of
Pines.
According to the statements of the
jailers or attendants, she made her
escape, some time last nignl. At this
mornings roll call she was missing and
when search was made for her, the at
tendants found that one Of the iron
bars of the room in which she had been
confined had been filed and bent out
ward. The bar could not have been
moved except by great outlay of
stength and all the circumstances go
to prove the cooperation Of outsiders
in her escape.
The authorities have not yet secured
any clue as to the whereabouts of the
girl. Several Of the employees Of the
establishment have been arrested.
The fate of Senorita Evangelina Cis-
neros has excited the interest and SYM
pathy of all Cuban sympathizers in
this country. This feeling has been all
the more acute because of the report
widely circulated some time ago that
If found guilty Of the charges preferred
against her, her sentence would be
banishment to the Spanish penal col
ony. although the Spanish authorities
have expressly disavowed ever intend
ing to infict this penalty.

BAD DAY FOR LUETGERT.
Testimony Of Two Of His Principal Witnesses
Torn to Tatters.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-One more day of evi-
dence and the finish of the Luetgert
murder trial will be in sight. The state
announced, today, that it had but few
more witnesses and that it would get
through with them without much de-
lay, tomorrow. An adjournment Will
then be taken until Monday, when the
defence will offer a small amount of
sur-rebuttal and the way will be clear
for the arguments of the attorneys
which will take about one week.
This was bad day for the defenc..
The evidence of two of their chief wit
nesses was almost destroyed, Mary
Siemmering and VIM. Charles, Luet-
gert's business partner, being the suf-
ferers.
The rebuttal evidence of the prosecu-
ton, in the afternoon, made serious in
roads upon the directh testimony of the
defence. The evidence given by each
of the impeaching witnesses called was
sharp, crisp and to the point. Mary
Siemmering's evidence was torn to
tatters. Members of the grand Jury
which indicted Luetgert appeared on
the witness stand and testified to ad =.
missions the young woman had made
before that body as to her relations
with Luetgert until Judge Tuthill tired
of it.
Then came horde of witnesses to
impeach William Charles, Luetgert's s
business partner. Mr.. Charles sat in
the court room and listened to his rep
utation assailed right and left.
Abraham Selg, who bought the gro
Gerry department of Luetgert's sausage
factory, testified that he found 15q
boxes of soap in the store and that
much OF 1t was scrub soap. This was
brought out to show that Luetgert did
not need to make soap with which to
clean the big sausage factory.

The above liberal offer is made to ad-
vertise the old reliable Diamond Dyes and
to get their book upon home dyeing into
the hands of women who want to dress
well by making their old clothing look
new.
Diamond Dyes have special dyes for
cotton, different from those that are used
for wool. and are the only package dyes
on the market that can be relied upon to
give colors that will not fade or crock.
The fact that Diamond Dyes have been
the standard home dyes for nearly twenty
years and that their sale increases from
year to year. is proof positive that they
have never had an equal.

Rlosy PARK SEASON CLOSES.
Record, Favor and AleIdalia Take the 2.i5
rrot, 2.12 Trot and 2.i4 Pace.

Portland, Oct. 8.-The season at Rig
by closed, today, by three good races
before crowd Of about 300 people The
first thing on the programme was the
conclusion of the 2.15 trot. The three
heat winners, Louis, Victor and Record
who had two each to their credit, and
Nicola, who had one heat, came out for
the word to settle the race. Record
was not headed for the mile. Louis
Victor went all to pieces on the back
stretch and finished last. Record won
the heat and the race very handily.
Dexter K, a Deering horse, landed
fourth money and this was very pleas
ing to the crowd.
There were five starters in the 2.12
trot, which proved to be lively one.
Alcidalia was the favorite and carried
about all of the money, although Dick
Hubbard was thought to have good
chances. The finish in the first heat
was very exciting but the favorite won.
In the second heat Dick Hubbard won
by nose and in the third heat he was
an easy winner. The third and fourth
heats were taken by Alcidalia in hair
horse all the way around. The fighc
for the third and fourth moneys was
one Of the interesting features of this
race. Van Zandt finally won the third
money after a close call in the fifth
heat.
There was only one thing in the 81!
pace and that was Favor, owned by
Charles Smart of Connecticut. He
took all three heats. AS a matter of
fact this event was not very interest
ing and went as it was anticipated It
would go. The summaries:
