1r1ai-Judge Has Point to Decide.
Chicago. Sept. pa wrangle between
the prosecution and defense over the ad-
INSTABILITY Of evidence tending to show
the motive for the murder Of Mrs. Luet-
CERT prevented the state from closing
its case as it had expected to do Satur-
day. Judge Tuthil took the matter un.
der advisement and the case went over
until tomorrow. Not only were the at
torneys for the prosecution and defense
at variance over evidence, but there
was trouble in the camp Of the defense,
vincent, senior counsel for Luetgert,
assuring the court that he objected to
evidence showing motive, and Attorney
Phalen, Junior counsel, informing the
court that he had no objection in the
world to the introduction Of the testi-
mOny.
The evidence the state desires tointro-
duce will show Luetgert's immoral re-
lations with a couple Of women, and
Vincent's objection was that such rela-
lions do not necessarily imply a motive
for getting rid Of mans wife. Judge
Tuthirs view was evidently that Of the
defense Saturday. He warned the
states attorney that he was so far
against the Introduction Of the evil
derce. and that it would take some
pretty good authorities to change his
mind. The other proceedings Saturday
were not interesting. the states evil
dence being 20 show that the bones, etc,
really were found in and about the
sausage factory.
1t came to light yesterday that Luet-
CERT INDUCED in a fight last Wednesday
afternoon with William Young, q pris-
cner in the jail. and that was the cause
of Luetgert's lameness.

Event Long Expected Comes Of at Madrid
without q Declaration.
Madrid, Sept. 20.-The Duke Of Tetuan
had a long interview yesterday with
the queen and United States Minister
Woodford.
London, Sept. 20.-A dispatch to The
Times from Madrid says: The confer
ence between United States Minister
Woodford and the Duke of Tetuan last
ed about two hours and has given rise
to good deal of excited surmise. Little
appears to have been said, however,
beyond the interchange of the custom
airy courtesies and mutual assurances
of pacific intentions and good will. The
conversation was carried on through
a high official Of the foreign Office as in
terpreter''
The excited surTlise doubtless had its
origin in the Washington specials, which
told all about Woodford's instructions
to practically inform Spain that she
must accept the dictation Of the United
States as to the conduct Of the Cuban
war. in which event other specials from
Madrid said Woodford would be given
his passports instanter.

Compliment That Cost a Barrel of Apples.

CohhpliLnenC InaC COST n Barrel OF Apples.
A Stafford Springs man will probably
use discretion hereafter in distributing
compliments. He had been collecting
rents among the italian tenements, and
at II house he commented to the
housewife on her baby. In joking way
he told the woman he would give her a
rooster for the baby. She did not seem
then to be impressed with the offer, but
a few days deliberation and probable
consultation with her husband had an
other effect, for on the following Sun
day she appeared at the mans house and
offered the baby, at the same time de-
manding the rooster. 1t required a great
amount of argument and explanation to
convince the woman hat there was no
market for her child, even at such a rea-
sonable price, and she could not be per-
suaded to take it home again until she
had been promised a barrel of apples

NO MORE THORNS,

The Perfection to Which Fruits and Flow
ers Are Developing.
The limit of improvement is not
found in producing fruits of great size,
beauty and sweetness. There are other
desirable qualities that the horticultur-
list is anxious to obtain, and toward
this end he is devoting his energies.
One of the most noticeable trends of the
science of fruit culture is toward the
elimination of undesirable organs. The
thorns of some of the citrus fruit trees
and the prickles of such small berry
bushes as the ~gooseberry, blackberry
and raspberry are protuberances that
have outlived their usefulness and are
highly unpleasant. They not only pune
ture the ripening fruits, but they often
make harvesting exceedingly ~inconven-
lent. Gardeners have long wished to
do away with these thorns and prickles,
but it is only comparatively recently
that systematic efforts have been made
to eliminate them.
The thorns are conspicuous organs OF

dens and fields. They should have been
exterminated long ago Through the
careful selection of plants that happen
to be thorpless, stocks are obtained for
a new race Of thornless plants Others
are noted for the few thorns that grow
on them, and by judicious selection OF
seeds and gratis from these the same
work is continued. Already gardeners
have cultivated raspberry and blackber-
ry Il that are entirely thornless, and
by grating improved varieties on these
the desired end will soon be reached

Foreseeing the snow.
The hoar-frost lies white on the bars.
This is the royal time:
The partridges out of their covers;

And the sun and the hill are as lovers;
The cattle in the stall;
The pastures forsaken and lone;

And the thistle seeds withered and blown;

With the great moon watching all white.

For the ponds will be frozen tonight.

+. How to
Catapph.

Every sufferer from Catarrh should
know that it is impossible to cure the
disease with sprays, washes, inhala-
lions, ETC., which are universally used.
In fact, the experience of growing
worse all the while is proof that the
treatment is all wrong. Many
who have been under treatment for
years and met with disappointment in
stead of benefit are willing to doubt
that there is any cure for Catarrh.
The trouble is that all of the treat
ment they have received has been mis-
directed, and has not touched their
trouble. Catarrh is a stubborn deep
seated blood disease, and everybody
should know that to simply treat the
surface, that is, the local irritation,
does not reach the disease. A blood
remedy is needed, but it must be a good
one; a remedy which goes down to the
very bottom of the trouble and forces it
out. SIS. (Swift's Specific is the only
one which can have the slightest effect
upon Catarrh, for it is the only one which
goes to the seat of the disease, and per-
manently gets rid of it. This is the only
reasonable way to treat Catarrh.
