Cultivation Of Punctuality.

But p~unctuality can be cultivated.
Slow coaches can be cured. Some one
has said that the only way to catch a
train is t. start in time; and in this
pithy sentence lies the gist Of the only
cure of the habit Of unpunctuality.
Two rules grow out of it. One is, AL
ways begin in time to get ready" and
the other is, when there are several
things to be done, decide which is the
most important and do hat first" Per-
haps these rules are best explained by
illustration. No. 1 mean hat if you
have an engagement for 5 O'Clock, and
it takes you thirty minutes to get
ready, start promptly at 4:30, and let
no siren voice tempt you to delay be-
ginning until ABS. Be resolute, be
firm in this.
But in No. 2, suppose you have to
dress to go out by a certain hour, and
o have also a note to write. You de-
to write first; the note lengthens
into a letter, your pen runs rapidly
away with the time; you add a post
script for a very important item, and
then you have barely time to dress,
using all speed, and as o begin in
haste a button pops off, or you cannot
find your gloves, and after this una
voidable 90 delay you hurry to your
rendezvous to find your friends wait
ing. In spite of their gracious assur-
ance that it makes no matter" You
know that it does. But suppose you
had thought your engagement of para
mount importance, you would have
dressed first, mended the button calm
ly, then written the note without any
frightening of it, and neither your
friend nor your correspondent would
have suffered.
Believe it, punctuality is a comforta-
BILE virtue in a family, and entirely de-
pendent Upon your will.-Philadelphia
Ledger.

The Burglar Again

On Saturday night the residence of
DR.. Wright Hall, on Front between
Castle and Queen streets was raided by
a burglar. The doctors pans were
fished from his room, as supposed, by
a pole run in at a window, and $7.55 in
money and a sgold watch were stolen
from the pockets. The watch chain
was found in the yard Sunday Tor
ing, where 1T had been dropped.
The r~esidenee~of Mr.. George A. Bish-
op, a street car conductor who resides
on Ninth street $between Market and
Dock streets, was entered by a negro
man Sunday morning about Z O'Clock.
Mr.. Bishop was lying in bed and saw
the man come in the gate and enter h
house. He watched him and saw him
ransack a wardrobe and other furni-
ture in and adjoining room, and got up
as the fellow was approaching his
room. He stoed at tthe DOR with 8
stick and when the man started in he
knocked him dewn and beat him. He
then let the intruder go his way.

Bad Accident to Mr.: Arringdale

Mr.. Fl. l.. Arringdale, superintendent
of the logging camp of the Cape Fear
Lumber Company Of this city, situated
on Mr.. Mauger Scott's lands, thirty-six
miles from the city, up Northeast river,
met with a bad accident at the camp
yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. The
company has a logging railway
trough the timber, and Mr.. Arringdale
while walking down the track stepped
from a log over a small drain and set
his foo on a small root or chip that
twisted his ankle, swapping both bones
in his right; leg just above the ankle.
The height he stepped down off h log
was only about a foot and MI. AIRING
dale could hardly believe that his leg
could have been broken so easily, but
he distinctly heard the bones crack
when his ankle turned. He was put
on the logging train and carried to a
cross Dad and taken thence in a bug
gy to Rocky Point where he took the
train on the Atlantic Coast Line which
arrived here at 5:45 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. He was removed to the ecity
hospital where Dr.. w. J. H. Bellamy
set his leg. When visited last night at
9 o'clock 'by.a Messenger reporter, Mr..
Arrfngdale was getting on quite well.

THE CORPUS deficit.
The Prosecution in the Luetgert Case say
They Have Convincing Proof Thereof-A
Fierce legal Battle Expected.

Chicago, September 6.-An important
conference was held today between the
state's attorney and the experts in the
Luetgert case. The vital question Of
the corpus delicti' was under discus
sion. If the state can prove conclu-
sively the corpus delicti'-can show
that portions Of the body of a human
being were taken from the fatal vat
and from h ashes from the
it will have a case of remarkable
strength. The conference lasted for
several hours. The great point is the
Identification as human bones the par
ticles found near h house where
Frnak Odorofsky said he dumped the
residue of the vat, and of the bones
found in h ashes from the furnace
None of the parties of the conference
would tell definitely of the results. 1T
can be stated" said States Attorney
Deneen and Assistant States Attorney
McEwen, that the state has found
hat it can produce convincing proof
of the corpus delicti.' Further than
that it would be unwise to state at the
present time"
1t is predicted hat the fiercest legal
battle of the Luetgert murder trial will
come when Police Inspector Setback,
who has been very active in ferreting
out the mystery Mrs.
Luetgert's disappearance, takes the
stand, should it finally be decided to
call him as a witness. 1t is at the door
of the north side inspector that Adolph
L.. Luetgert lays his present troubles
The accused sausage maker is ex-
| tremely bitter against Setback and his
attorneys AVE tried to bring out evil
dence to show that witnesses have been
cached and that money has been used
by the police in fixing" testimony.
| Efforts were made to show the police
| methods in the instance Of GOttlieba
[ Schimpke, by trying to draw from her
! that the agreement with the police
| matron was merely a scheme to keep
the girl under police control. This,
taken with the bitter personal feeling
| which Attorney Vincent is said to har-
| Dor against Inspector Setback, would
| likely make the court room scene that
| would follow the introduction OF
| Setback as a witness n of the most
exciting features Of the trial. In fact
it has been learned that the defense
has planned to make this a strong fea-
ture of it's side of the case.
