Lutgert Expert Pronounces 1t the Femur
 of a Human.
 Chicago, Oct. 1.-The monotony of the scientific and painfully technical pro- ceedings of the Luetgert trial to-day was relieved by a hearty laugh at the expense of Dr. Allhort, the chief ostero- logical expert for the defence, during the afternoon. He had identified a piece of bone as the femur of human being. He observed that the bone would indicate that the person had been large and strong.
 "Yes, I suppose he was," observed Assistant State Attorney McEwen. ''He was a gorilla"
 The severe cross-examination took a considerable of positiveness out of the witness. The questions put to him by MT McEwen, but framed by Professor Dorsey, tested his knowledge of bones severely After falling into several cleverIy laid technical pitfalls, pr. AL hort became mixed. His answers were not as decisive as before.
 The experts are not expected to finish before the middle of next week. When they get through Luetgert is expected to go on the stand.

INDIA'S CASE FOR SILVER
PEOF. 4. s. GHOsH or CALCUTTA, 4
 NATIVE INDIAN, PRESENTS TT.

Severe Arraignment of England-says She
 Has Confiscated Half the Wealth of the
 People of the Indian Empire-The Last
 Hope of That Country Must Lie in MT.
 Bryan.
 New York, Oct. Prof A. s. Ghosh, of the Calcutta university, a native h. dian, will set forth in an article en- titled "India's Case for Silver" in the October number of the North American Review to be published tomorrow, the reasons why the people of India desire the reopening of the Indian hints.
 Prof. Ghosh arraigns the British gov ernment for blocking the way to an irl- ternational agreement for the remone- tization of silver charging that by clos ing the Indian mints it has confiscated one half of the wealth of the people of opinion that England may be forced out ofregard to her own interests to change her course and he concludes as follows:
 "If however notwithstanding every entreaty, she proves false to her own and the worlds interest, then she may learn to her cost that other nations can act without her and may see the very thing come to pass in retribution which she so long opposed. If she still con- tinues to block the way, if Senator Wolcott's mission fail and the Indian hints remain unopened, then the last hope of India must lie in MT. Bryan.
 If three years hence his efforts are crowned with success, which necessa- rily they must be if nothing is done meanwhile to solve the great question, he will perhaps find the gold worship pers of Europe, headed by England, waiting In trepidation in his ante chamber to entreat an international agreement. That will be the hour of his triumph, and in the anticipation of it the SOO,000,000 people of India will wish him God speed"

SPURIOUS CH FOX CROOK.
Boston Police Nab a-Forger Who Had
 Planned to do Big Work.


 Planned to do Big Work.
 Boston, Oct. 1.-Detectives exposed to-day a bold scheme to build up a bus- mess by spurious check process. A man supposed to be c. P. Neuberger, but who claimed to be Louis Shapiro, a dealer in trimmings, is under arrest, charged with uttering forged check on the Continental bank.
 The prisoner, it is charged, secured a bank book from the Continental bank showing deposits aggregating $9,250.9S upon checks and drafts purporting to have been made payable to the Man haitian Clothing company, of which he was proprietor, by Siegel, Cooper & Go. and Smith, Gray & Co. of New York.
 Several checks of small amounts, pur- porting to have been made by Smith, Gray &, Co.,, payable to the Manhattan company, were placed with the Conti- mental people the day following. Later a check for $1, 400, made payable to the Manhattan Clothing company by one "P Cohen" through the Bowery Ma tional bank of New York, excited the suspicion of the Continental people, and in reply to an inquiry the Boston bank people were told that no such person as P. Cohen had an account with the Bowery bank.
 To-day when Neuberger called at the bank to make deposits he was placed under arrest and taken to headquar- ters. A conference between Captain Dugan and the firms mentioned in the checks showed that all the papers were forgeries

For Months the Daily Record of Self
 Murder Has Averaged Two.


 Murder Has Averaged Two.
 New York, Oct. IA wave of suicides which in one instance led to the de- stroying of the lives of four innocent children passed over this city to-day. For months the daily record of cases of self murder had the average of two. The weather here for several days has been balmy and delightful and yet to- night the bodies of nearly dozen per- sons who met tragic fates are being prepared for burial.
 The first of the series of suicides was reported from the Hotel Devonshire on Forty-second street. Next man over six feet tall and weighing 225 pounds, who had registered as c. F. K. Royce. San Francisco, was found asphyxiated by gas in the Grand Union. He had no papers. This was followed by the find ing of Mrs. Caroline Rednes and her four children dead from asphyXiation, the gas turned fully on and the win dow panes covered with wet paper.
 Dr. R. N. Flagg of Yonkers, N. Y., after breakfasting with his bride of a day suddenly became insane and jump ed from a fourth story window and was instantly killed
 In the suburbs of the city several self murders are also reported. One worth mentioning in this connection is the mysterious death of Frank HaWley and E. I. Hoffner of South Norwalk, Conn.,, who conducted a shooting gal lery range at the White Plains fair. The men stopped at Matthies' hotel. This morning they were fouDd dead in bed, the room full of gas. It is be- lieved that their deaths was the result of an accident, however.

MONET RATE GOES UP.
Sudden Rise on Call Loans from 3 to
 Per Cont,

New York. Oct 1.-Just before the close of the stock exchange here to-day money on call, which had remained at per cent. for fortnight, jumped to per cent. The sudden rise was explain ed by the fact that to-day is the first day for paying taxes and that large sums of money had been withdrawn from the banks by big property owners for that purpose.
 This had created a scarcity of money, which, however, will be only temporary. For the last week or so there has not been the usual amount of ready money, because money here had been sent west in large sums to defray the cost of transportation of the wheat to the sea- board. It is expected that money will be easy on Monday.

AFFAIRS IN SPAIN.
Formation of New Liberal Cabinet a Difficult Matter.

Madrid, Oct. 1-Marshal Martinez Campos was in conference with the queen regent to-day for an hour and a half. He expressed the opinion that change of policy was possible with the present chambers, if the majority SUD- ported the new cabinets economic atti- tude toward the colonies.
 After the queen regent receives Senor sagasta and Senor Pidal, president of the chamber of deputies, tomorrow, she will .4,aHe her decision.
 Her majesty to-day expressed a de- sire to retain, if possible, the present chambers, believing that general elec- tion would have a disturbing effect. For this, however, a conservative cabi- net would be necessary. None of the liberals is inclined to accept office, as they would find themselves at the mer- cy of the conservative chambers. Gen. eral Campos has been endeavoring to effect arrangements whereby the cham bers might be retained in case the liber- als were to take office, but so far he has been unsuccessful.
 During the conference of leaders of the dissident conservatives with the queen regent Senor Silvola declared that, in view of the difficulties in the way of dissolution, it would be best to retain the conservatives in office under the leadership of Campos. and he said that, on the assumption that the cabi- net would receive the support of all clements, a majority of his own section would give it enthusiastic support

6O,OOO PEOPLE SAW HIM DO IT
STAR POINTER LOVERS WORLD,S
 RECORD IN 4 MATCH RACE.

In the Last of Three Heats He Covered the
 Mile in 2:OO m. 1-2 sec.-Also Won the
 Race-Joe Patchen Won tho First Heat
 In the Second Heat Pointer Made a
 Quarter in 29 1-2 Seconds.
 Spring, H., Oct. In a race that was witnessed by about 60,000 people Star Pointer on the Illinois state fair ground not only maintained his repu- tation as the king of pacers but he also lowered the worlds pacing record in a match race by half second.
 He was welcomed by tremendous cheering by the assembled thousands as he passed under the wire in the third heat and the announcement that the worlds pacing record had been broken was received with wild applause. The great race between the fastest pac- CTS in the world had the result of bring ing on the fair grounds the largest crowd ever assembled. In the grand stand not ever standing room was oo- tainable. Thousands lined the race track on both sides for fully one third of it's length.
 The track was in splendid condition and there was fast time and sensa- tional finishes in several races. When the two great pacers made thelr ap- pearance they were greete1 with cheefs. On the first trial they got nice start, Patchen having the pole, but after go- ing a few hundred feet Star Pointer broke badly and before he recovered Joe Patchen was about an eighth Of a mile ahead of him. Joe Patchen fin- ished the heat in jog in 2:l4 amid cheers, with Star Pointer 300 feet be- hind. The first quarter was made in :3O1a, the half in 1:02A, three quarters in 1864 and the mile in 2:14.
 Star Pointer was given the pole in the second heat, but the two horses started even. Joe Patchen soon broke and lost dozen or more lengths. He gained on Pointer toward the three quarters and rapidly overhauled him, McCleary holding his horse back. Down the home stretch it was pretty fight between the two, but Pointer maintain ed his lead and passed under the wire half length ahead. He made the first quarter in :30R, the half in 1903, the three quarters in 1862 and the mile in 2:06h, the last quarter being made in :291a.
 The next heat was an exciting one. After three intellectual attempts the horses got off together. Pointer soon took the lead, and in the first quarter he was one and half lengths in the lead. The black horse soon pulled up some toward the half and when the half was reached Pointer was but three quarters of length ahead Then Patchen lost, but gained again. When near the wire Patchen fell behind, how ever, and Pointer won by five or six lengths. The time by quarters was as follews: First, :29%; second, 1900; third, 1:301s; mile, 2:001a.
 The weather was intensely hot, and scores of men and women of the thou sands who had stood in the sun along the race track for hours with the mer- cury at 94 degrees in the shade, faint ed. Summary:
