Count de Chambord Mover Permitted
Aimeelf to BE Called a Kinrlx Tifla

Count dc Chambord Mover Permitted
himeeif to BE Called Kingly Title.
Baron Pierre do Coubertin, a leading
FRENCH statesman, has written an article
entitled "Royalists and Republicans"
giving MS impressions of political society
In Paris, and this appears in Tho Century.
M. do Coubertin says:
Inc master of Frohsdorf, since he could
not be King of France, was content to be
Count dc Chambord. He Judged the title
to be worthy of him. The magnificent
chateau Of Chambord had been offered to
MIN by national subscription tho year Of
MS birth, and he could not have borne
name moro truly French. In speaking to
him one addressed him simply as mon
seignour He did not like to DO designated
as Henry V, albeit he had been proclaimed
king In 1880, and several acts had oven
Deen executed under his authority. He
mover permitted in speaking or writing tho
words "sire" or "your majesty" In all
such matters ho showed tuct as well rs
wisdom, but his followers would have pre-
ferred n holder and less scrupulous chief.
They sought perpctually to push him be-
yond legal limits.
For long time they talked much of
coup d'ctat, Of an appeal to tho army, of
sudden appearance in Paris. Later, when
the prctcnder's age had rendered all such
designs moro than over unrcnliznble, tho
royalists took refuge in oxuberant and
sterile manifestations. They congregated
on fixed dntes-on July 10, tho princos
fete day, and ON Sept. go, his birthday
Royalty was proclaimed OH all these occa-
sions, not only as u right, but ms u fact.
Declarations were mado that it was close
ut hand. The opportunity was improved
to draw up violent indictments against tho
republic. To monarchy was attributed the
power of healing all social ills, even us u
mere touch of tho kings hand had once,
in the popular superstition, had tho power
to cure all persons afflicted with the
kings evil
Tho functions of July 10 were more par-
ticularly of II religious nature. On Sept.
20 there were banquets, to which II dem
ocratic character was given. They took
place Mt Paris in some cheap restaurant in
tho workingmon's quarter. In the prov
inccs the fotc was celebrated in some gran
airy, festooned with green's and with whito
sheets covered with the flower do luce cut
out of gold paper. The notabilities of tho
royalist party were present and presided
with sort of smiling condcscension.

each individual member?

Each member will receive fourteen
admissions for his So, which means a
cost of only about 3519 cents for each
admission. 1t usually costs 81 to see
an ordinary theatrical attraction. By
this plan you hear really great man
talk or lecture, or listen to a fine mu-
sical organization for one-third of the
money.
How about persons who are not
original paid members?
They must pay so cents admission
to each entertainment. This fund
may prove sufficient to secure addi-
tlonal lectures during the season, in
which event the original So members
will have the privilege OF attending
them without extra charge. The more
members the more entertainments for
your So.
Is there any private profit in the
scheme?
None whatever. The finances, etc.,
are managed by the officers elected by
the members, and full account must
be made of all transactions to the en-
tire lyceum.

An 0ut,Of-Town Merchant Found
Murdered Near 4
Savannah.
He WAS GOING TO THE CITY.
Had Seventy five Dollars in His Pockets
With Which to Make Purchases.
No Clue to the Assassins.

Savannah, Oct. Sc. g. Goodwin, a
merchant at Burroughs station and
man we'll. known in Savannah, was
brutally murdered some time last
night within few miles of his place
of business. The particulars of the
tragedy were brought to Savannah
this morning by W. s. Pemberton, his
partner, who came 10 invoke the as
sistance of the authorities and to
make arrangements for an inquest.
1t appears that about 10 o'clock last
night Goodwin left his store to go to
his home, which was situated about
two and a half miles away. He had on
his person about SIS, with which he
intended to come to Savannah this
morning and make some purchases.
Nothing more was heard of him un-
til this morning about O'Clock, when
his horse was found grazing on the
highway about quarter of a mile
from his home, between Miller's and
Burroughs. An Investigation was
made, when the body of Goodwin was
found in dense thicket where, in all
probability, it had been dragged by
his murderers.
The head of the deceased was fear
fully mangled by wounds inflicted from
slugs or nails from shotgun or mus
ket. and bloody rails about the place
suggested the probability that he was
beaten and mangled by the murderers
after the shots had been fired.
The deceased was about 80 years of
age and very popular, He was
splendid business man and commanded
the respect of all with whom he had
business relations.

Savannah, Oct. 5.-The Millen and
Southern railway was sold at public
outcry today and knocked down to c.,
d. Baldwin, of the firm of Peacock,
Hunt & Co., of this city, for $4,000.
The sale was conducted at the court
house by Auctioneer G. H.. Dorsett.
Baldwin was the only one who COM
piled with the requirements by depos-
iting his certified check for $4,000 as
an evidence of his good faith as a bid
der. When the property was put up
for sale Mr.. Baldwin put up the only
offer of 100000 for the road.
The road was sold to satisfy a mort
gage deed of trust executed to the Cit

Luetgert is Not Allowed By His
Counsel to Make a State
ment.
DRAMATIC CLIMAX OF THE Case.
The Defense Has Explained Every Fact
Brought Out By the State-NOt
the Right Ring.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-The defense in the
famous Luetgert murder trial rested
its case today after two witnesses had
testified. Luetgert's attorneys re-
fused to allow HIM to go on the stand.
He accepted the situation with a
frown.
The first witness called today was
Henry J, Cox of the United States
weather bureau. Witness Cox came
with chart and data to prove that the
night of May l, 1897, was cloudy in
Chicago and vicinity. This evidence
was brought out by defense to count
eract the testimony of witnesses who
had sworn that they stood across the
street at IL O'Clock at night on May l
and saw Luetgert and his wife walk
ing toward the factory.
Mrs. Mary Charles. wife of Luet-
gert's business partner, testified that
upon several occasions Mrs. Luetgert
had said to her:
Il am going away my husband has
failed and people will now point
their finger at me and say she is the
wife OF the sausagemaker, who failed.
l cannot stand that"
A dramatic scene followed. Lieut.
CERT had offered an explanation of
everv accusation of the prosecution
except the rings found in the vat in
in which the body of Mrs. Luetgert is
alleged to have been disintegrated.
The defense put off the explanation
of the rings until the last moment, 1t
was the climax of the sausagemaker' s
story.
"Dld you ever see Mrs. Luetgert
wear finger rings?" asked Attorney
Phalen.
81 have" answered the witness.
"How many2"
Two" -
"Were they gold rings ?"
"They were."
"You saw them often?"
every often"
"Describe them"
"Both were plain gold rings nearly
equal IN worth. One l am sure, per-
haps both, contained Mrs. Luetgert's
initials"
'Did you ever see this ring l now
hand you? 1t was one of the rings
found in the vat"
"No, sir; never saw that ring be-
FORE" she finally answered. cit is
narrower than either of those Mrs
Luetgert wore."
The other ring was handed her and
witness gazed at it some time.
"This ring is about the size of one
of the rings she wore," said Mrs.
Charles finally, "but cannot tell
do not think it is one of them."
The unexpected cessation of evil
dence of the defense found the prose-
cution was unprepared to 20 on with
it's rebuttal, and the court adjourned
until tomorrow morning.
