Men TO Fight the MusseImans.
Chicago, Feb. 16.-The spokesmah
for the Greek colony Of Chicago DE
clares that one-half their number
have already enrolled their names for
enlistment in the expected war with
Turkey at the headquarters, No. ~
Dearborn street.
The president of the six local Greek

ty of every race are invited TO beg pres
ent. ~
J. c. Palamaris seemed to be spOkeS-
man of the majority Of the Greeks
who gathered at the headquarters. He
was cheered repeatedly as he declar-
ed the willingness of himself and 90
out of every 100 men Of Greek birth
or parentage in Chicago to return TO
their native land and fight for Greece.
Mr. Palamaris detailed the opera
tiOns of a great pan-hellic Greek So
ciety under the name Of the Nation

to be used in the war against the Mus
sulmans. The society, according to
Mr. Palamaris, is supposed to be COM
posed Of the leading Greeks in King
Georges kingdom and throughout the
world, though the names Of the guild
ing spirits are unknown. II is said that
100 million francs have already been
collected and partly used in supplying
arms to the Greek soldiers Of Abdul
Hamid for use when the natiOnaf
leagues or King Georges shall pro
claim a general instruction.

MILLIONAIRE HANGED.
DIR. ARTHUR DUEsTROw PAID THE
PENALTY TODAY.
He Murdered His Wife and Child in Gold
Blood Without Any Oause-He
Was a Drunkard.

Union, NO., Feb. 16.-Dr. Arthur
Duestrow, the St. Louis millionaire,
who on February 10, 1894, shot and
killed his wife and child in cold blood,
was hanged here at 1853 today. Thus
ended one of the most sensational muir
der cases ever tried in the courts of
this state. After every effort had been
made by his attorneys to save his life
and Governor Stevens had refused to
grant a respite in order that the case
might be carried to the United States
Supreme court, the fight was finally
given up. Ever since the murder three
years ago, Duestrow tried the insanity
dodge. Not until today has he even
shown any signs of realization of his
fate. This morning he caught the
first glimpse of the gallows through his
cell window and he broke down COM
pletely Il know have got to die" he
said. II killed my wife and child, but
it was not my fault. 1t was something
within that made me do it. 1t was
not myself" These words were re-
peated over and over again as he lay
on cot in his cell, his tears flowing
fast and sobs occasionally checking his
utterances

The crime for which Arthur Dues
trow met death on the scaffold at I'm
ion, Mo, today was committed on the
afternoon of February 10, 1894, at his
residence, 1,724 South Compton avenue,
this city. On that day he had been
drinking heavily. During the fore
noon he had called at a livery stable
and ordered a sleigh for the afternoon,
stating that he intended taking his wife
and two-year-old son riding. A few
moments before 4 o'clock he arrived
at his home and found the sleigh
awaiting him.
The generally accepted version of the
crime proper is the testimony given by
Katie Hahn. a domestic in the Dues
trow household. She said she met
Duestrow at the door and asked him
II he was going to take his wife riding
This question angered Duestrow ana
he ran upstairs to his wife's room and
after some words slapped her face.
Mrs. Duestrow upraided him for his
conduct which seems to have worked
the murderer up to the point at which
he could no longer restrain his patience.
The Hahn girl says she heard Mrs.
Duestrow exclaim: Don't shoot Ar
thur; don't"
Three shots followed in rapid success
sion. The servant rushed upstairs
and found Duestrow standing over the
body of his wife, revolver in hand cry
ing: Goodbye, Tiny, are you dead?"
At this point the mans fury seemed
to be diverted to his child. Grabbing
it up in his arms he held it against the
wall and emptied the other two cham
bers OF the pistol into its head. 1t
died Immediately. Duestrow then
went to the police station with the re-
volver in his hand and surrendered.
He was sobbing at the time. IT have
killed my wife" he cried, but ii was
an accident. suppose they will say
/ am a murderer, but am not; ii was
an accident"
He tried to explain that the revolver
was discharged while he was hand
ling the weapon.
On February IA the doctors removed
two bullets from the head of Mrs. Dues
trow and it was thought she might re-
cover, but on February II she died,
having never regained consciousness.
Duestrow, by the terms OF his IA
theirs will, would draw Sc, 666.66 a year
as long as he lived. Duestrow's IA
Their, Louis Duestrow, died a few days
prior to the murder leaving an estate
of $4,000, 900.

authorities to solve the problem whether
certain old man. whose charred re-

What One of the Members of the Building

One of the splendid institutions OF

last statement, published in another
column.
An Eagle reporter met one OF the
members Of the association yesterday
and was treated to the following exor-
dunn on homes:
THE desire to establish home led
Abraham 70 leave friends and kindred
in Chaldea and locate among heather
strangers in Palestine. In the hope of
obtaining homes the children Of Israel
wandered with Moses for forty years
through the wilderness. The Pilgrim
ia Tiers crossed the unknown ocean and
braved dangers from wild beasts and
wilder savages in the new world for the
purpose of establishing homes.
at is better 10 OWL cottage than to
live in a hired palace and the longing OF
every true heart is for home. no mat
ter how humble. II you have saved
enough from your business or gained
enough from your toll. and have not a
home Of your own buy one, or If you
have not enough money to make the
purchase the associa ton can help you.
The home furnishes safe llarbor for
many husbands who without it would
drift with the tide to destruction. Words
cannot describe what the home means
to the wife and mother. The roses
that bloom there are hors. and the
jesamine and ivy that climb the walls
and porches are hers in a sense that
mere ownership cannot give. but is a
part Of the home instinct that Is implant-
Ell in every human heart. and can be
satisfied only by the fruition Of its
longings.
Home owning is synonymous with
good citizenship. The anarchist is never
bred in the happy vine-embowered
bone. The stability OF republican insti-
tutions. the future OF our loved country
and the spread OF the gospel of Christian
civilization depend upon the home"

FINGER RINGS.

Rings were in common use among tho
early Saxons and British. Some of these
rings were Of excellent workmanship,
beautifully enameled. They wore the
rings on the third finger.
The Bible gives numerous instances
illustrating the Importance of the sig
net ring; Darius sealed with his the
den of lions; Jezebel made use OF Ahab's
ring to seal the counterfeit letters or
dering the death of Naboth.
One Of the oldest rings in existence
Is that OF Cheops, founder Of the great
pyramid. 1t Is of gold, adorned with
.hieroglyphics. The use of carabei and
signet rings by the Egyptians dates
back into antiquity. They were made
of gold, silver, bronze, precious stones
or faience.
Of all ornaments the ring was the
first worn and mythologists tell an in
genious story to account for it's ORR
gin: Jove upon releasing the Titan
Prometheus from his rock of torture
compelled him, as a souvenir of his ex-
perience, to perpetually wear on his
finger link of the chain that had bound
him. All the Hindu-Mogul divinities
are represented as wearing rings and
the gods OF elephants are likewise
adorned

Tammany Platform Is Out.

John c. Sheehan recently outlined
the Tammany platform for the Greater
New York fight before the Tammany
General Committee of the Seventh As
sembly district in that city. q
1.-THE Democrats of this county, next
fall, will have a common platform
on which all can stand, regardless of
past differences. They will have a plat
form broad enough and Dig enough to
hold all Democrats who want good To-
cal government. The result will be the
restoration of the Democracy to places
of authority in the city government"
Mr.. Sheehan's remarks fully con-
firm the news that Tammany Hall
will carefully refrain from any attempt
to drag last falls issues into the COM
ing fight. He added that the contest
in Greater New York, should the
greater city become an established fact
this year, would he along the lines he
had outlined for this city.
The meeting was Que of a series to be
held all over the city. 1t was well at
