ST. Louis, Aug. 27.-The new Ameri-
can party was launched Thursday by a
convention OF between 40 and 30 dele
gates. who have been in session In this
city for the last few days. They rep

"Snce nearly or quite 20 per cent OF al

A GREWSOME TALE.
Story or Witness for the State
In Luetgert's Trial.
He swears That I'm Cleaning out the
Famous Vat After the Alleged
Crime He Found Bits of
Flesh and Homes.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-The event Of the
day in the LuetRert trial was the testi-
money Of Frank odorofsky. formerly
smokehouse keeper for the accused
man. His statements tended to place
the defendant in the position of trying
10 destroy the evidences of his alleged
crime. He is the man who broke up the
crude potash for the defendant and put
the small pieces into three barrels
which stood around the middle vat.
Odorofsky claims that Luetgert tried
70 purchase his silence by promise of
a life position. Both Odorofsly and
Waterman Bialk were suspicious from
the first that the sausage maker was
preparing TO make way with his wife.
Bialk thought that this was what was
being done on the night of May /. but
he dared not protest or make an inyesti-
CATION. Both witnesses tell much more
than they did at the preliminary hear
ing or the hearing before Judge Glib
bons.
Odorofsky told of the appearance
Of the stuff in the middle vat on the
day following the alleged crime. He
said the vat was partly full OF stuff
which was pale brown, Shiny and
greasy. Mr.. Luetgert told him 10 put
IL into a barrel and spread ii all over
the backyard. lie put some of II on a
shovel and took il over TO the window.
Then he got piece OF wood and spread
itout on the shovel. He found in IL pieces
of flesh and some small bones. He
asked him what the stuff had been used
for. He was told that IL was all right.
and that if he did not say anything
about IL TO anyone he could work for
Luetgert as long as he lived. Mr.. Luet-
CERT came TO the vat and he was angry.
As he stood by IL he wrung his hands.
When he was told TO scatter the stuff
over the yard, witness said instead OF
doing so he dumped it in one place and
put some dirt over IL. The witness said
that after the police began their inves-
legations in the case he showed them
where he had placed the material from
the vat and they took part Of il away.
At the close OF the session Luetgert
asserted that Odorofsky and Bialk bad
committed perjury, and that he would
prosecute them when he obtained his
freedom. Attorney Vincent said that
the witnesses had been drilled and
their stories prepared for them. Nc
jury would, he declared, convict his
client on such testimony.

STYLE In Literature.

"Style in literature] has been written
about very learnedly by learned men,"
says writer in Ladies' Home Journal.
''In its highest development it is very
complicated thing. 1t is the very essence
OF culture, knowledge and artistic tenn
permanent that gives a flavor OF its own to
every sentence that an author writes.
But without entering into the subtlties
OF style, it is surely evident to every
reader of average intelligence and sensi-
bility, that there is a great difference in
the manner of telling a story, for in
stance. 1t does not require Il subtitle mind
to feel the difference in the telling of
Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter and Hugh
Conway's Called Back.
"By common consent, Hawthorne is ac
know!edged the best master of style that
America has produced. w hen you have
read one of his stories no matter how
dark the crime that he has studied in it
you never feel hat he has dragged down
your thoughts. 1t is not only because he
is great moralist in his stories, but be-
cause he is q great master of style also.
His language is elevated, poetic, fascinat-
ing. 1t makes the appeal to what is fine
in your nature, rat her than to what is
gross
