room during his absence in case his
presence was desired.
The crowd which surrounded the
lriminal court building and jail at
night surpassed in number anything
witnessed since the opening Of the trial.
Men, women and children lined the
pavements in front OF the Michigan
street entrance, and the line extended
to Dearborn avenue on the east and
North Clark street on the west. The
tops of the three-story buildings across
the street from the court building had
crowds of spectators, and every win
dow in the structures facing the build
Ing had it's occupants.
Deputy sheriffs guarded the entrance
to the court and denied admission ex-
cept to a favored few. Sheriff Pease
late in the evening issued an order to
keep the crowd out Of the building, as
demonstration was feared when the
verdict was received. Enough people
got in, however. to completely fill the
courtroom. But three women were
present.
The crowds in Michigan street were
augmented by over a score of men from
the vicinity of Luetgert's sausage fac
tory. They were unruly and demanded
admission to the court building. This
was refused them, but they were so per-
sistent that word was sent up stairs.
The deputies at the door, fearing a rush
for admission, telephoned to the East
Chicago avenue police station for more
officers. The alteration drew crowd
which quickly choked the entrance The
police on duty were entirely incapable
of handling the crowd. Captain Hoff-
man of the East Chicago avenue police
station sent a patrol wagon filled with
officers to the scene. When the officers
reached the building, they drew their
clubs and, aided by a score Of deputy
sheriffs, drove the crowd back. The
friends Of Luetgert had by this time
been re-enforced by about 200 other
persons from the crowd, but they re-
treated after a few vigorous applica-
tions OF the clubs.

They Dined on His Chimney.


An unusual case came up for trial in
q rural Justice court recently. One
manwas suing another for allowing his
children "to eat his chimney"
"They two boys of his'n," explained

"Are you the only man the children

ships That Have Sailed from Port
Not to Return.
It is some four years now since the
last mysterious disappearance Of a
great ship. says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. This was the Naronic, a freight
steamer of unusual size, which sailed
the Atlantic and was lost in 1898. Pieces
of wreclSage from this vessel have been
picked up, however. which has not hap
pened in all such cases. Among the
mysterious disappearances of the PAST
were the steamships President, City of
Glasgow, Pacific, Ocean Monarch and
City of Boston, the ironclad Captain,
and the Liberia and Barton.
Twenty-seven years have passed
away since the City of Boston was
placed on the missing list, but some are
now living who had friends and rela-
tives on board of her.
The City of Boston cleared at the port
Of New York on Tuesday, January %,
1870. She sailed for Liverpool by the
way of Halifax, with - cabin and IS
steerage passengers. Since she LEFT
Halifax no vestige Of her has ever been
seen except a plank upon which was
scratched a message saying that the
ship was sinking. Her exact fate will
never be known.

MISS WATTS. OF NEW YORK.
From Her Desccnded a Marquis and
Earl OF Great Britnin.

From Her Dehccndcu q mufQuth anu
Earl OF Great Britnin.
People talk of international mar
riages as if they were an invention Of
recent years, and are obliyious TO the
fact that British peers huve shown their
good sense by marrying American girls
for over n couple of centuries, and there
is large amount Of American blood in
the British house of lords.
Everyone going UP and down lower
Broadway notices the statue of John
Watts in Trinity churchyard. 1t was
erected by his descendant, Gen. De
Pcyster, who has prediction for that
sort Of thing. Now, old John Watts,
besides being the progenitor Of Gen. De
Peyster, was the progenitor Of the pres
ent marquis Of Ailsa and earl of Cas-
stills before Mary Queen OF Scots mar
ried the dauphin of France, and there
were Barons Kennedy before Columbus
discovered America. On that wild Qoast
which looks out on the Scottish islands,
where Ailsa lifts her head above the
foam. the Kcnnedys have always
reigned, and Capt Kennedy. Of the
royal navy, married a Miss Schuyler,
of New York. who Is put down in the
records of the College Of Heralds as
coming from New Jersey. For his sec
ond wife he married a Miss Watts, Of
New York. and from that union sprang
the second marquis of Ailsa and earl
of Cassillis. The man who married Miss
Schuyler came TO his earldom and his
estates on the death of his brother, after
a contest between the earl of March and
Ruglen about the succession, which was
decided in favor Of thecaptain'sbr brother
1t was the same sort of contest
which was waged by Rev. Bryan Fair
fax and by Lord Stirling, withthe po-
tent exception that two of the Ameri-
can claimants were successful, and the
third, Lord Stirling, was not. The fact
that William Alexander fought bravely
in the cause of the colonies may have
had something 20 do with his lack Of
success before the house of lords. How
ever. the American blood in the earl OF
Cassillis advanced him TO a marquisate,
and Gen. De Peyster has erected q mon
ument TO old John Watts. One of the
earrs sons married the daughter Of Gen.

oesTAcLEs TO REFORM.
Even in "A Little Matter Like This
There Is Dinnculty.

A short time ago am order went into
operation upon the Boston street rail
ways requiring conductors to address
feminine passengers as Madame"
The always cheerful Chatterer of the
Boston Herald tells us that, in pursu-
ance Of the order, the conductor is try
ing very hard to cure himself of his
habit of calling his feminine passen-
gers LADY" and "Nrs. Lady" but he
has not as yet hit upon a uniform meth
cd of addressing them, and, in his in
decision. has resort to "hi," say"
"missis" and "ma'am;" but he viii
doubtless settle upon the right thing
eventually. The other day, on Hunt
ington avenue car. n conductor, who
had evidently given much attention.
TO the subject, won special distinction
for himself by the use OF the word
madame" in this regard. But there
is no rose without n thorn. Among his
passegers was a. colored girl, who car
ried q large bundle, doubtless the
weeks wash of some patron. She
asked him to stop at a certain street,
and when the car arrived there he said
TO the gentle Afro-American; This is
your street, madame" She at once
gave him an angry look, and said with
marked asperity: who's yer calm

THE ATTRACTIVE WOMAN.
what one Observer Thinks and says
AbSut Her.

About Her.
That superintendent brain and sur
passing beauty may but seldom be
counbined; yet it does not follow that
all women of good sense and sharp in
tellect are necessarily plain, says an ex-
change.
That bright thoughts enliven the
most ordinary face until the reflection
of the mind shining out in all its radi-
ance makes one forget that the features
are not pure Grecian, and leads us 20 be-
lieve that such a woman is in reality a
great beauty.
That the vivacious creature of vary
ing moods and quaint fancies is the one
to charm. A man forgets all the type
of beauty she may or may not possess,
so interested does he become in the
pleasing study of a mind that renders
her face ever winning, irresistible and
pleasing. because, like the surface Of a
lake, there comes a change with every
varying emotion.
That the attractive woman should cul-
tivate the mind for grace of soul and
education of spirit counts for more
than limpid eyes. a rosebud mouth and
dimpled chin.
That she should ever be teachabie, for
there is not one iota Of lovableness in
the man or woman who thinks he or she
knows Il all.

HIS LIFE AT STAKE.
Luetgert's Case Placed In the
Hands Of the Jury.
TEXT OF JUDGE TUTHILL'S CHARGE.
While Waiting For the Verdict a Riot
Is Precipitated Outside the Criminal
Court Building, and the Police
Have to BE Summoned.

CHICAGO, oct. 19-At 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon State Attorney De-
neen finished a powerful address to the
jury, and after a short recess Judge
Tuthill began his charge to the u men
with whom the fate of Luetgert rested.
Judge Tuthill instructed the jury as
follows:
Before a conviction can be had in
this case the state must prove beyond
a reasonable doubt and to a moral GER
tainty. first, that Louisa Luetgert is
dead; second, that she came to her
death on the 1st Of May in the county
of Cook, state of Illinois; third, that
Adolph L. Luetgert the defendant,
willfully, maliciously feloniously and Of
malice aforethought killed and murder
cd the said Louisa Luetgert by some Of
the various means charged In the in
dictment or by means unknown. The
burden of proof rests upon the prose-
cution to make out and prove to the
satisfaction of the jury beyond all rea-
sonable doubt every material allegation
I'm the indictment, and unless that has
been done the jury should find the de-
fendant not guilty. 1t is not incumbent
upon the defendant to prove that
Louisa Luetgert is alive, OF her where
abouts. or what became Of her.
IF it is possible for you to reconcile
the facts in this case upon any reason
able theory consistent with the inno-
cence Of the defendant, it is your duty
to do so and find him not guilty.
You are instructed, as a matter OF
law, that If you believe from the evil
dence beyond a reasonable doubt that
the defendant assaulted and killed Lou
lisa I,uetgert as charged, under circum-
stances showing no considerable provo
cation. but showing an abandoned and
malignant heart on the part of the de-
fendant and a total disregard of hu-
man life, then the law pronounces such
killing to be murder and jury should
so find. 1t matters not that such evil
dence is circumstantial. or made W
from facts and circumstances, provided
the jury believes that such facts and
circumstances, pointing TO the defend
ants guilt. have been proved so that
from a consideration of all the evidence
in the case there is no reasonable doubt
in the mind of the jury as to the guilt
of the defendant. Direct and positive
testimony is not necessary to prove the
intent. 1t may be inferred from facts
and circumstances shown by the evil
dence
mo man may be convicted of a crime
until what is known as the corpus de.

lictl has been established by the prose-
cutlon and unless you are convinced
by the evidence in the case beyond a
reasonable doubt that Louisa Luetgert
died at the time charged in the indict-
ment and also that she came to her
death in manner and form as charged
IN the Indictment, in such case it is
your duty to acquit the defendant. To
prove the corpus delicti the state is re-
quired to procure only such legal evil
dence as establishes in the mind Of the
jury, beyond a reasonable doubt. con-
viction that the murder charged in the
Indictment has been in fact committed
in manner and form as charged and
that the defendant is guilty of its COM
mission, and it matters not the proof Of
such corpus delicti consists in whole or
IN part of circumstantial evidence, pro-
vided It is sufficient to satisfy the minds
of the jurors beyond a reasonable
doubt of the commission of the offense
charged.
while the statute Of the state pro-
vides that a person charged with crime
may testify in his own behalf. he is not
under any obligation to do so, and the
statute expressly declares that his neg
lect to testify shall not create any pre-
sumption against him."
Silence as still as death pervaded the
packed courtroom while the judge was
reading his instructions. His voice was
clear and strong, and even the throng
which was wedged into the corridor
outside of the courtroom heard every
word.
When Judge Tuthill ceased reading
and reached for the different forms of
verdict that had been prepared. there
was a movement I'm the courtroom. Men
and women swayed backward and for
ward and in minute or two every per-
son in the room was standing on a
seat. The bailiffs did not attempt to
make them take their seats. Luetgert
sat looking at the court. with his eye
brows wrinkled and his face settled
into the scowl which has marked II
from the beginning.
In a couple of minutes the crowd had
become quiet. Then Judge Tuthill read
the different forms of verdicts. which
included one for murder providing for
the death penalty another fixing the
penalty at life imprisonment, the third
providing for a term of Imprisonment
of not less than IA years, and the fourth
was for not guilty

Immediately there was an uproar IL
the courtroom. People who had beer

of bailiffs ordering every one to "si

surged forward and took up every incl

FISH WITH NO TAIL.
Queer Discovery I'm n Muddy Pool I'm

Queer Discovery I'm n Muddy Pool I'm
Dcvonshire, England.
D. A few weeks ago one of the most ex-
traordinary fish ever known came to
light in Devonslrire, says the London
Rambler 1t was a chub, found in a
muddy pool, and certainly it was as
hideous a thing as one could well inn
agine. II was imprisoned, In a sort of
cage formed of the roots of an elm
tree that projected under the water,
and it had evidently wormed its way
into this prison when quite small. Be
ing unable to find its way out, it had
been forced to grow in the shape of it's
cage instead of the natural form that
all club should take. With no room to
develop, the fish's tail had disappeared
altogether, save for a little deformed
stump that had wedged its way be-
tween the roots of the tree. The back
fin had also vanished, for there was no
room for it to grow in. The whole
body of the. luclSless club was dis
torted and had grown into the gnarled
and twisted form of the root cage. The
scales were incrusted with mud and
arranged in layers, like roof states.
1t is puzzle TO imagine how the fish
fed and lived during its growing years
in that watery prison, and what It did
when times were hard and no food
came by. 1t seemed contented enough
and was certainly healthy and strong
IN spite of its distorted shape.
