sermons upon 1.-The Devil in Lansing.

Public Schools" The sermon was re-

preacher condemned the senior ball held
at the close of the schools last year and
inveighed against what he described
as the projection of the ideas OF mod
ern society into the schools and the IA
miliar and precocious familiarity pe-
tween the sexes. -,
He commended the board of education
and the city superintendent OF schools
for their efforts to prevent the use OF
tobacco by pupils, but he wanted dane
ing prohibited for the reason that IL
interferes with good student work. AS
an instance he cited young miss OF
16 summers who had proudly boasted
that during the two years she had peen
in society she had had seventeen di1-
ferent escorts, fifteen of whom had
been permitted to kiss her. The IN
stance he thought was bad enough.

ooSsp1nAoY AGAINST LEUrGEnr.
His Counsel wili Attempt to Prove That
 One Exists.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-It was predicted that the fiercest legal battle of the Leutgert trial will come when Police Inspector Schaack, who has been &C., tive in ferreting out the mystery sur rounding Mrs. Leutgert's disappear ance, takes the stand, should 1t hnally be decided to call him as a witness. It is at the door of the North side ln- spector that Adolph l.. Leutgert lays his present troubles.
 The accused sausage maker is ex- tremely bitter against Schaack, and his attorneys have tried to bring out evidence to show that witnesses were coached and even that money has been used by the police in fixing" testimo- ny. Efforts were made to show the po- lice methods in the instance of Gottnepa Schimpke by trying to draw from her that the agreement with the police mat ron was merely scheme to keep the girl under police control.
 This, taken with the bitter personal feeling which Attorney Vincent is said to harbor against Inspector Schaack, would likely make the court room scene that would follow the introduction of Schaack as a witness one of the most exciting features of the trial. In fact, it has been learned that the defence has planned to make this a strong feature of it's side of the case Attorney Vim cent has, it is said, some twenty-five witnesses who will be put on the stand for the purpose of impeaching the testi- mony of the inspector.

The republican aldermen will hold a caucus this evening just before the meeting of the Board of Aldermen is called to order, and some of the demo- cratic aldermen say that they will also hold a caucus at the same time. When the announcement was made that the republicans would hold a caucus it was also announced that the purpose was to consider means of securing money to meet the current expenses of the city government for which in the present financial straits of the municipality there seems to be no ready funds avail, able. The democratic aldermen say that they will strenuously oppose any attempt to settle the financial difficulty in partisan caucus, and that at their caucus this evening they will settle upon some plan to defeat any such at tempt that may be made They say, however that if the matter is brought up in the aldermanic meeting without recourse to caucus schemes they will heartily support any advisable means of securing money to meet present. needs. Any attempt to pass the reso- lutfon for street hardening over the mayors veto they will oppose.
