AS soon as the drillers saw the flames
several climbed into the derrick to smut

the remaining slycerine in the empty
cans standing in wagon near the der

Chicago. Sept. s.-When Luetgert. the
alleged wife murderer. entered Judge
Tuthiifs court room yesterday he smiled
and nodded at the thejury. The first tusi-
ness taken up was the reading Of transla-
tons of letters written by the de-
PENDANT to Mrs. Christine Feldt, and
this reading could hardly have been
pleasant to Luetgert. or to his attor.
neys. Luetgert's leading attorney. ex-
Judge Vincent, smiled when the SEN
tence was heard in which Attorney
Vincent was termed greedy" The let
ter went on to state that Luetgert in
tended to release Attorney Vincent, as
he did not consider him able to handle
SO important a case. In another letter
Luetgert wrote to the effect that on
the first day of the trial there was to be
q great surprise for the police and the
state. An attorney of worldwide fame
was to be engaged. and when the dogs
Of police" saw who It was they would
quail with fear. This as yet unknown
lawyer. Luetgert continued, was to SUI
persede Attorney Vincent and then the
case would he properly conducted.
Mrs Feldt was then recalled and the
defense proceeded to lay the foundation
for an Impeachment of her testimony by
asking her q number Of questions about
her financial relations with Luetgert.
She said she had received eight letters
from Luetgert and the defense expects
to prove that she received more AMI
wrote more to Lustgert than she has
testified to. Nicholas Faber, an ex-em-
ploye of Luetgert, testified to having
seen Luetgert and his wife enter the
factory on the night Of May l. Under
cross-examination Faber was forced to
admit that he did not know anything
that happened on any other particular
date near May 1. He was unable to tell
whether the night was moonlight or
cloudy. He simply stuck to the fact
that he had seen them enter and heard
the two talk.
Charles Hengst told about having
heard the cry of some person in the fac
tory that fatal night, but was consider
ably confused when cross-examined as
to his testimony at the preliminary hear
ing. 1t was shown from the records of
the hearing before the justice that
Hengst had admitted his ignorance as to
whether the cry was that Of a human
being or an animal. Yesterday he said
he was positive it was the cry of a HUI
man being. Fritz Figel, VINO worked for
LIetgert on May 4. told how he had
implied q barrel of ashes in the alley
and Officer James Smith testified as to
having found particles Of bone and two
corset steels in the pile of debris where
the ashes were emptied.
Frederick Augustus Schultz, testified
as to former quarrels between Luetgert
and his wife, in which Luetgert had
threatened to take her life. The witness
Is II years old, and so deaf that Inter-
prefer Liebig was compelled to stand
close to him in order to repeat the ques-
tions of the attorneys. The defense felt
that it had undermined his testimony to
large extent when it gained from him
that he was 100 feet away from Luet-
CERT at the time of the quarrel.

At the sale of the Ashbuiuham library
in London q copy Of the Mazarin Bible
brought the good sized sum CT sac, 900.
The Mazarin Bible is so called because
. copy Of it was first discovered BY d.
Bure in the library Of Cardinal Mazsrin,
in Paris, about 1850. Its value for book
collectors lies in the fact that il is the
first book Of any magnitude printed
from movable types. It was issued by
Gutenberg ut Mainz, in 1906, and for
that reason Henry Stevens calls it the
Gutenberg Bible. 1t is divided into two
volumes, the first containing 324 and
the second 81 pages, each page consist
ing of two columns. The characters,
which a.: q Gothic, are large and hand
some and very much resemble manu-
script. Before the discovery of this Bi.
be the so called Bamberg Bible Of Pts
ter was generally regarded as the first
printed book, but that honor is now
universally accorded to the former work.
According to DR.. Austin Allibone.
there are six known copies q the Maza>
rim Bible on vellum, ore Of which is the
volume found in the Mazarin library.
The copies on vellum, however, are later
than the copies ON paper, ~ of which
are known to be in existence. There is
a vellum copy Of the Bible in the Brit
ish museum and paper copy in the
Lenox library of this city. The present
value of a perfect copy of the Mazariu
Bible on paper is about $15. 900, and
those on vellum are valued at about
100000. Practically, however, theil
value is variable quantity, depending
ON what the book collectors are willing
to give for them. 1t has long been 8
matter of dispute whether the types en-
ployed in printing this Bible were me-
tallic or wooden. but the question II
still undecided. As q specimen of early
printing the work is magnificent, con.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24-The pre-

the war department Lieut.. Devere
and DR.. Jackson were busy this morn
ing making final preparations for their
trip to Lapiand, and will start for New
York tonight in order to sail on the
Lucania tomorrow morning. Secretary
AIger has cabled to Mr.. Kjellmann, at
Alien, Norway, to contract for 800 head
of reindeer in advance of the arrival
there of DR.. Jackson and Lieut. Devere.
This was done to save time 50 that
all will be ready for the final purchases
and the shipment of the animals when
DR.. Jackson arrives at Alien.
Lieuts. Preston and Ryan, of the
Ninth cavalry, have been ordered to
take charge of the pack trains which
are to be gathered up from points in
Wyoming, and convey them TO Vancou-
yer barracks. Secretary Alger believes
that these trains will of great use in
getting supplies through to the interior
Of Alaska. They will be pushed for

that by proper use of the trains a
large amount of food supplies can be
gotten safely through White Pass and
placed in q camp to be established
there which will afterwards be used as
the starting place for the reindeer
trains. If this calculation proves to be
well founded the reindeer will find q
comfortable corral ready when they
arrive in Alaska and so can be used &c
great advantage.
There is a disposition just now, on
the part of the officials who are arrang-
ing the plans for the expeditions, &c
abandon the Dalton route and instead
to take the Lake Lindeman route. TINS
would involve the use of the frozeT
