Chicago, Oct. 25.-Five dead bodies.
four men and one woman. were stolen
last night from the morgue at Dunning.
The corpses were stolen by men who
forced the doors Of the morgue open.
The bodies those OF paupers who
died at the county asylum. The robbery,
from all indications, had been carefully
planned and was done in a deliberate
way. The lock on the door had been
broken and the windows covered with
straw board. Superintendent Lang Is

PROSECUTION AWAKE.
Luetgert viii Probably Be Put on Trial
Again This Week.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-There is a possibili-
ty that the second trial OF Adolph L..
Luetgert, the alleged wife murderer, will
begin This week. States Attorney
Deneen said today that unless the de-
tense asked for a continuance and still
persisted in their demand for The release
OF the prisoner on bail, he would put the
case on trial for Wednesday. The states
attorney does not know what judge will
be selected to hear the second trial.
Judge Horton has beeen suggested. and
the case may CONS up before him.
The second trial will not be as long
as the recent trial was" said States At
tcrney Deneen. I'VE know the defense
now. We are also better prepared with
cur own evidence. and there is much OF
il that was submitted during the trial
just ended that will be omitted in the
new trial. We have considerable new
evidence. But now that we know the
situation thoroughly the progress Of the
new trial will be more rapid, but noce
the less interesting than the first one.
We shall not consent 10 bail. and il the
defense will not ask for a continuance,
the trial will proceed as indicated"
The states attorney will insist that
something definite be done in the case
this week. He does not intend to permit
the defense to spring upon him the tech
meal assertion that Luetgert has been in
Jail four terms OF court without a trial,
and is therefore entitled to discharge.
With the close of the present week four
full terms Of the criminal court will have
elapsed since Luetgert was indicted. As
the case now stands the same as il no
trial had ever been had. the prosecution
fears the defense may next week urge
that Luetgert has been in jail four .e.ms
and ask for his release upcn this tech
nical construction Of the law.

Charming Little Functions of Foreign
Life Asserting Themselves Here.
Fashion is mending her ways in the
direction of sense and sincerity in lines
of social intercourse. The woman who
designates upon her visiting card an
"at home" day must always, whatever
temptation may arise to be elsewhere,
be tastefully gowned and ready to re
ceive her friends at the appointed time.
The hostess who does not restrict the
visits of acquaintance TO any day may
still retain their good will and her own
telf-respect She is no longer mot at
home" but more truthfully regrets
that she is engaged" by this message
protecting her own conscience and that
Of her servant as well. The well-bred
visitor will accept This graciously,
/ knowing from experience how impos-
sible it often proves under existing cir
cumstances to set aside pressing du-
/ ties for the chance caller. Formal visit
! ing is now limited TO afternoon hours,
! as less liable to conflict with necessary
appointments of daily life. The latch
string of hospitality still remains out
for close frendA, who drop in at all
times, according to impulse and con-
venience.
A fine line of courtesy leads the visit

but to inquire if Mrs. Blank is receiv-
ing. If answered in the affirmative,
asks if she will see Mrs. s.. If in
| the negative, then the card is left in
evidence of the call Cards are in Il
measure falling into disuse, the Eng
lish method of announcing guests be-
ing very generally accepted in the best
circles of society--a pasteboard only
left when the lady is out or not re-
ceiving. At social functions. aside from
the dinner of ceremony, guests are not
expected to take leave of the host and
hostess when departing, a card left on
the hall table covering this point Of
civility. This method is the outcome
of afternoon teas and evening recep-
tions, at which people come and GO con-
stantly between the hours prescribed
by invitation. keeping the hostess oc-
cupied in receiving from first to last.
These affairs afford opportunity to en-
terrain twice the number of guests
without the discomfort of a crowd
when the service in the dining-room is
continuous. Perfect independence is
granted each hostess in the matter of
menu and decorations, light refresh
ments and a few cut flowers now re-
garded as true hospitality in the same
degree as the more elaborate efforts of
the florist and caterer. The woman
who ''cannot afford to entertain" at the
present day is hindered by pride and ig
norance of society's ways rather than
light pocketbook. We have much to
thank our sisters across the water for
in this matter, so surely but certainly
are the charming little functions of for
eign life asserting themselves in is
country.-Table Talk.

NO "WILLIE'S" GAME.
Golf Requires Endurance and Any Novice
Will Tell You So.

Golf Requires Endurance and Any Novice
will Tell You So.
The idea of golf that is prevalent
among most devotees of football, base
ball and other rougher sports is that
the game is a cross between tiddle-de-
winks and croquet-a sort of glorified
"nigger baby" with the most amusing
feature of "nigger baby" left out. There
is one old football man in this city who
doesn't think so now, although he did
once.
The gentleman in question is an old
Harvard football man. He is a great
admirer of the manlier athletic games
and he held up his nose at golf, as man
naturally would who thought it a game
for women and "Willies," but not for
men. Recently while on visit to New
York friend persuaded him to visit the
Morristown golf links and finally to
take a stick in the game.
Here is what the football man told
a reporter of his adventures:
"My friend introduced me to the men
who were to be my opponents. All of
them had on golf suits and most of
them had single eyeglasses in their
eyes. / knew that they were 'Willies'
the minute l set my eyes on them, and I
was mighty cool in consequence, be-
cause l don't like 'Willies.' The game
was explained to me as consisting in
batting a ball into a couple of dozen
small holes with the least number Of
strokes possible / made the first hole
all right with no more strokes than
most of the men playing, and looked
around for the next. 1t was farther off
than the first, and the fourth and fifth
were still farther apart. I began TO
grow tired, and by the time that the
sixth hole was reached / was putting
and blowing like a porpoise. looked
for my companions, and they were
strolling after their balls apparently as
fresh as when they started. followed
1t was necessary to set my teeth and use
all my determination to keep up with
them, but l did, and finally completed
the first round.
mo one knows how many strokes
made. Considerably more than have
ever been made on those links before,
at any rate. All that could do was to
sink down on rock completely ex-
hausted and endeavor to get my wind.
While was still there wheeling like u
rusty pump one of the 'Willies,' whom
] didn't despise any more-I was too
tired to despise anyone-strolled up to
me with pronounced English accent
that would have caused a riot on the
Strand. and said:
"I say, old chappy, we're goin' ovah
the blasted links again. Wouldn't you
like to come along?
81 told him that had an important
business engagement that would pre-
vent me, much as | would like to do
SO, and I dragged my weary legs off
those links. And if anyone tells you
that golf is Willie game just refer
him to me, because know that it ism :"

Only rich man may become arch

described as something prodigious.
Officials of all kinds, government, court

for all manner of services. There is All

view of these e%actions, that the late
Or. Magee, when he was consecrate
archbishop of York, took for the text
of the first sermon that he preached in
the cathedral: "And certain man

tains her title as Lady So-and-So or the
Hon. So-and-So, and ranks just as
she did when single. But if she marries
an earl or baron she is degraded to the
rank of countess or baroness. In the

Ounce Lifts a Ton.

The shelless limpet pulls 1884 times
its own weight when in the air and
about double when measured in the
water. Fleas pull 1,493 times their own
adweight. The Mediterranean cookie
Venus verrucosa can exert a pulling
power equal to 2.071 times the weight
of its own body. So great is the power
possessed by the oyster that to open Il
a force equal to 1898 times the weight
of its shelless body is required. If the
human being possessed strength as
great in proportion as that of these
shell fish the average man would be
able to lift the enormous weight of p

and fatigue to himself by riding after
the style of racing cyclist. The po-
sition for good road riding is with the
body straight, with slight bend from
the waist, and not from the back, and
the head. up. The racing position is
just the opposite.
According to the opinions of numer-
Gus wheelmen an easy riding carriage
cannot be obtained by having the
handle bars on almost level with the
upper brace or top tube. The handle
grips should be so elevated as to be par
allel with the seat, and the seat so adj
iusted as to permit the heel of the shoe
worn by the rider to rest lightly upon
the pedal when the leg is fully extended.
In the correct position the cyclist
should at any moment be able to take
his hands off the handle grips and not
alter his position in the slightest. 1t
gives him perfect mastery over his
wheel in case of danger. In the racing
style there is hardly a muscle above
the waist that is not thrown out of it's
proper place. The shoulders are forced
back until they almost meet, while the
neck and lungs are misplaced, thus pre-
venting proper breathing and action
1t also slowly butsurely works physic-
al deformity in the carriage of the
| rider when off a wheel.
1t is a mistaken idea that the tighter
one grips the handle bars of the BIZ
cycle the better one can ride. The bal
ancing is not done by the hands after
once knowing how to ride, but by the
feet upon the pedals and the legs
against the frame. The handle bars are
only necessary for the purpose of steer
ing, mounting, dismounting and for
leverage. In the correct position the
arms of the rider can be perfectly
straight, with the elbows set if desired,
or slightly bent at the elbows, so that in
going over rough roads he is able to pre-
vent much of the jolting that naturally
occurs.-N. Y. Post.

Ia wheeling, as in horseback riding,
driving, etc. there is a correct and an in
correct position, often the result, to
greater or less extent, of the position of
the handle bars. An awkward carriage
or position is evidently the rule with
the majority of wheelmen. A prevalent
idea is that the nearer the position as
sumed resembles that of the racing cy-
clist the nearer perfection it becomes.
This assumption is decidedly wrong.
The two positions, that of the racing
man and that of the road or pleasure
rider, are not related and should not
be confused. The racing man in the
correct position of the road rider could
not obtain anywhere near the speed
