My Dear Mr.. Diggs:
I have just learned of the death of
Mr.. David G.. Worth. While I met him
only a few times, I esteem it a great
privilege to have had even a Slight ac-
Q~uaintance with him.. AS I recall the
occasions when we were thrown to-
gether. I am now impressed with the
fact, that at each time he was giving
his time and strength to the work for
the young men Of Wilmington. How
much they ought to appreciate his in
terest as evidenced not only by his
large gifts to the Young Mems Chris
tian Association Of Wilmington, but by
the giving of himself to work for their
spiritual welfare.
Mr.. Worth was, indeed, q Christian
gentleman Of the highest type. One
could not come in contact with him
without feeling the ennobling influence
of his royal nature, which had been
enriched and made more sympathetic
through his intimate knowledge OF
Jesus Christ.
Will you convey to his family and
friends my sympathy.
Very sincerely,
FENNELL p. TURNER.

LUEVGER1'S SECOND TRIAL
The Case Begun epttons by

Progress In Securing "A jury


Chicago, November 29.-The second
trial of Adolph L.. Luetgert, for the
mrder of his wife, was called before
Judge Gary today. The big sausage
manufacturer was represented by ex-
Judge Lawrence Harmon and Attorney
Mat. Riese-AItorney Fhalen having
withdrawn from the cas yesterday af-
ter a heated interview with Luetgert
and the new lawyers. The court room
was packed with spectators when the
court was called to order. Most of the
session was taken up by Mr.. Harmon
in arguing that Judge Gary should not
try Luetgert, on the ground hat he
was not qualified to sit as criminal
judge. Judge Gary Overruled the mo-
ton of the defense, ~intimating, how
ever, that he was willing that some
other judge should sit in the case pro-
viding counsel for the defense could
come to an agreement with the prose
cutiCn as to who should near it. Attor-
neys Harmon and Riese held a consul
tation. this afternoon with States At
tOrney Deneen with the object of de-
Gliding on some other judge to hear the
case.
When the court reconvened at 2
o'clock p. M, the attorneys for the de-
Tense that they had been
unable to reach an agreement as to a
judge to hear the case in their consul
tation with States Attorney Deneen.
Attorney Harmon. however, entered
exceptions to Judge Gary's overruling

made a motion for a continuance of
four weeks, stating that both he and
Attorney Reise were not prepared to

ruled after some discussion. Examina-
ton of talesmen was then commenced.
1t was late in the afternoon when the
task Of securing a jury was entered
but by the time court adjourned
sixteen veniremen had been examined
and two jurors were accepted by the
state, although the defense has still the
privilege Of rejecting them.

Dear Mr.. Diggs:
I heartily sympathize with the people
of Wilmington, and with the associa-
ton particularly, in the loss Of Mr.. Da-
vid G. Worth. I held him in the high
est esteem for his high Christian char
acter and sound judgment, n I was
led to the deepest confidence in him
and in his spiritual life. Happy is the
association which has enjoyed his aid
and cOunsels; happy is the church
which has so rich a legacy Of Christian
living, and happy too. the community
in such citizenship. With sympathy
and respect, Your obedient servant,

of eternal fixedness. His heart was
too warm, too living. too loving to be
properly likened to snow. And it was
not lifted up thousands of feet above
the level of his fellow beings, but beat
in ready sympathy and loving touch

to be quite SO intimately associated
with Mr.. Worth as some who have
spoken, but as we do not have to

THE teachers of the county will be
interested in knowing that the new
school law abolishes all county boards
of examiners and provides for the
marking and grading Of all papers in
the Office of the state superintendent.
All certificates issued will be valid
throughout the state and only one
third grade certificate will be issued to
any teacher. All applicants for GER
tifcates will be required to pay an ex-
animation fee of S1.O0, which will be
placed to the credit of the institute
fund of the county in which the ap-
pticant takes the examination. The
law makes the furnishing of free text
books optional with each district, re-.
quires the display of the United States
flag at the expense of each district,
provides for the establishments kinder
garten schools to be maintained by spec
ial tax, and directs the apportionment
of all state school funds on the basis
Of days attendance, each district being
given credit of 1900 days, which, on
the basis of about q cents per day per
pupil, will give even the smallest dis
tricts credit on the levy of about $50,
or enough for four months school, at
the low rate of wages for teachers
which they ordinarily pay. But unless
the new revenue law greatly reduces
the percentage Of delinquency in the
payment of taxes, the smallest districts,
where the total days attendance does
not exceed 1000, will be fortunate if
they secure enough from the general
apportiOnment to maintain the three
months school now required by law.

The 011cial Paper Of San Juan County.
THURSDAY. APRIL LIST, 1897.

The publishers of THE ISLANDER
feel warranted in saying that they be-
lieve that the county commissioners
will make mistake if they undertake
to contest the application of Mr.. e. G.
Earle to purchase the tide land abut-
ting the upland owned by the county
here, without at least first making an
effort to settle with Mr.. Earle upon
Just basis, which we understand has
not yet been done. Litigation is ex-
pensive. The questions of fact relative
to the rights of the county in this case
are easily ascertainable. Like hundreds
of individuals it has slept on its rights
for six years, and there is scarcely any
room for doubt that the unimproved
tide land abutting its property here has
been open to purchase by any applicant
for year past. Such an application
has been made and however much it
may be regretted there isn't much use
to squeal about it. 1t is condition
and not theory that confronts the
county in this matter, and the main
question to be considered is how to &C
quire title to whatever is desirable at
the least cost. It is fortunate for the
county that the application to purchase
has been made by a man as honest and
reasonable as Mr.. Earle, and 1t is be-
cause we happen to know him to be a
man of integrity and just views that
we venture the opinion that he will
not take any undue advantage of the
county in this matter if approached in
the proper spirit by the proper authori-
ties. We respectfully suggest that be-
fore taking any steps to institute con-
test in the courts the commissioners
should instruct the county attorney to
communicate with Mr.. Earle and ascer-
tain upon what terms he will relinquish
whatever rights he may have acquired
to the tide lands AUDITING the county
property. 1t is not improbable that a
settlement can be made with him at
very slight advance, if any, over the
cost of the lands if purchased directly
from the state, and if that can he done
1t is certainly preferable to legal con-
test which would necessarily involve
considerable expense, and in which the
CHANCES would apparently be against
the county.
