This Detective Tells n Strange Tale
of the Sea.
did you know that sea gulls got sea-
sick the minute they struck shipboard?"
Everybody in the detectives room at
the Four Courts looked doubtfully at
Detective Henry Frese. That gentle
man had just returned from trip to
Bremen, where he went to settle his
fathers estate, and he has been telling
some pretty stiff stories about sights
and sounds in the Fatherland. He in
sisted that he could produce proof in
support of his story and the brother
detectives at last lent credulous ears to
the tale.
Its queer thing that / don't at
tempt to explain" said Mr.. Frese, ''but

thought / would try it again to Sc.

A NEW YORK CLUB.
Gndcd Youth of Gotham Enjoy Itp
InInMc Attractions.

Unique Attractions.
There be clubs and clubs in Gotham.
The business man has his aerial quar-
ters down town; the millionaire has his
marble palace up town; the politician.
the yachtsman, the actor, the literary
feller," the student, the Bohemian-all
the birds of a feather have some cozy
or quaint retreat where they can flock
together and enjoy themselves on the
quiet. But it remained for the man
about-town, aided by some of the gild-
ed youth of the metropolis, to design
and fit up a clubhouse that carries Off
the palm for odd features. 1t Is To-
Gated in what used to be the most no.
torous house in the most notorious
street in New York, but both were long
ago LeXowed, and would have been for

every reference to this curious club
| revives old memories. 1t is in the very
heart of the old Tenderloin, and is dedi-
Gated to the patronage of swift young
men who need not go to Alaska for
gold so long as pepper and mommer
are easy. The designers of the resort
spared no expense in providing luxury.
comfort and novelty for the members.
| The most surprising of the rooms, so
! far as lavish disregard of cost and novel
beauty are concerned, is the rose
room" Its mirror walls are covered
with silken, artificial roses, inter
spersed with few rose leaves and
branches. The natural flower is ut
| lized in season, at cost of about 5000
a day. The ceiling is an immense mir
ror. An eXtravagant young man tells
the New York correspondent that this
is the only "rose room" in the world.
Another quaint conceit is the log cabin,
located in the basement. The walls
are paneled with Embarked logs, the
chairs are rustic, the tables are oaken
casks, the decorations trophies of the
chase and weapons. The floor is paved
| with cobble stones. 1t contains a rus
tic oyster counter and kitchen range.

other liquids served Then there's the

a tepee stands in each corner, in which
the bibulous ones find privacy. The
decorations are strictly in keeping with
the name. Above is the German hall,
reached by marble and onyx stair
case. This room is Uttered with quaint
articles of the sort to be found in up
to-date resorts of the same class in the
Fatherland. Here all kinds of liquiGs
are served to the thirsty ones. The bar,
which occupies a small room next to
the German hall, is entirely paneled
with bevel-edge mirrors and silver. An
enormous umbrella of mirrors is set
into the ceiling, and from its center de-
pends handle of glass and silver, ter
minating in an electric bulb. Electric
lights hang from each rib of the UNI
brella of mirrors. In this little bar
room the artistic mixing of drinks is
carried on.
The designer of this gilded resort was
backed by so wealthy men at first.
Now the club numbers several hundred.
and in spite of the recent hard times,
it is growing. Dispatch.

Monday night, to listen 10 addresses by
prominent labor leaders brought to the
city by the conference. There wai
much enthusiasm shown. When it be.
came known that Eugene V. Debs, pres.
idcnt of the social democracy, would
not speak, there were signs of indignant
disapprovnl and loud cries for that
noted leader.
Grand Master Workman Sovereign,
who presided, made an impassioned ad-
dress in which he said that the laboring
men of this country are now face to face
with the last great problem of civiliza-

edict that would lead to new era Of

DIG STRIKE MAY SOON END.
Peace Agreement In SiGht-Plnns
Made to Resume Work.

Muue 10 Resume WORK.
Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 81. - When
President Dolan left for the st. Louis
convention he was the bearer of an inn
portant proposition to be submitted
to National President Ratchford, which
asks the privilege of starting some of
the mines. 1t has the sanction of the
district officials, and only needs the
consent of the higher officials.
The smaller operators here will hold
a meeting to-day to agree to make
whatever promises the national officers
Of the miners require. These operators
held meeting last week, and, it is
said, obtained 30 signatures to an agree
ment to pay the rate demanded, and not
to sell coal to the "big thirteen" COM
bination which controls the lake trade.
If Ratchford gives his consent num-
ber of mines will be started at once, and
in that event 1t is predic ed the strike
will soon be ended.
Cleveland, o., Aug. 31.-There is hope
that the great strike of miners will be
settled, temporarily at least, within the
next As hours. On the authority of n
leading Cleveland operator it is said
that the operators have been quietly
negotiating with the miners officers
since the adjournment of the Pitts
burgh conference and a settlement is
believed to be close at hand.
The operators offered to pay the men
"a cents ton, pending arbitration, If
the miners would consent to such an
arrangement, with the distinct under
standing that the arbitrators could not
fix n price below 60 cents or above 69
cents. President Ratchford made \
counter proposition for arbitration,
stipulating that the men be paid GO
cents ton, five cents of that price To
be turned over TO a trustee or trustees
and to be held until the arbitra tion is
completed, and then paid to the miners
if the rate is fixed at 60 cents. If the
rate is fixed below that figure, then a
portion of the amount held by the
trustees is to be given to the miners and
the other rebated to the operators.

LUETGERT'S TRIAL.
Hearing of Witnesses In the Case
Begins in Chicago.


Chicago, Aug. 31.--In an address of
oyel two hours length Assistant States
Attorney McEwen spread before the
Lcutgert jury on Monday an outline OF
tn testimony which the state expects
will bring the sausage maker to the
gallows for uNorcide. The first material
witness in the case was called at one
o'clock in the afternoon, when Diedrich
Eecknese, brother of the missing wom-
an. took the stand. 1t was TO him that
Luetgert reported, in nonchalant
manner, that his wife had disappeared
several days before and that he had
not thought it worth while to report
the matter to the police.
Louis Luetgert, the 12-year-old,
bright-faced son of the prisoner, was
called next. He produced something
of a sensation in concluding his testi-
mony, and it is believed caused counsel
for the prosecution to regret having
placed him on the stand. The boy has
already been examined twice as to his
knowledge of his mothers disappear
ance, and in neither case did he refer
to having heard his mother about the
house after he had been sent to bed.
Monday he recounted how he had gone
to circus on the evening of his moth
er's disappearance. He returned about
10:30 and found his mother, to whom
he described what he had seen at the
circus. While engaged in this conver-
sation, he said, his father entered the
room and ordered him to bed. Later, he
said he heard his father descending the
rear stairway in the direction of the
sausage factory. This portion of the
testimony was identical with that given
at the preliminary hearings. But he
continued by saying that after he had
been asleep for long time he was sud-
denly awakened by hearing rustic in
the room. He called out: SIS that you
father?" but his mothers voice replied
mo; it is me-" The boy declared he
was sure it was his mothers voice which
replied to his query. The states at
torney asked Louis why he had no
told this part of his testimony before
and he replied that no one had asked
him If he had heard his mother afte
retiring. The court adjourned for TIL
day, the defense refusing to cross-eN
anime the boy.
