FIRE GRENADE AGENT FOOLED.
The Proprietor of the Hotel Lost q
Good Customer

Good Customer.
The proprietor of suburban hotel has
son whose sense of humor seems likely to re-
suit in the destruction of the business of the
house. Recently one of the guests was the
travelling representative of fire grenade
manufacturing house, The .grenades are
green glass bottles filled with a compound
that is said to smother fire. They are hurled
into the center of the blaze, and, bursting
with the force of the impact render an
engine and a line of hose unnecessary.
The fire grenade agent remained several
days at the hotel and advertised that before
his departure he would give grand exhibi-
ton of the efficiency of the green glass bot
ties. Early in the evening when the exhi-
bition was advertised to take place a large
and curious crowd gathered in front of the
hotel. The agent caused fire to be built in
the street, boxes and barrels being piled
many feet high. After seeing that the fire
was roaring merri1y the agent made his ap-
pearance bearing an armful of fire grenades.
He hurled the bottles one after another into
the blazing pile, but instead of smothering
the flames the grenades seemed to have the
opposite effect The fire blazed up nearly
ing buildings began to shed their paint,
while the crowd drew back from the fierce
heat.
The agent was the most astonished man in
the group until he learned that the son of
the hotel proprietor had extracted the gren-
AIDES from the sample case, poured out the
contents and then filled them with gaso-
grenades had been "doctored," and Wells of
derision nearly drowned the protests of
the agent as he attempted to persuade the
hotel proprietor that the house should pay
the costs of the indulgence of the small bows

The nurse is often brought to closer OBJ
servation of the effect of any medicine than
the doctor himself. In constant attendance
upon the patient day and night, he observes
the effect of every dose of medicine, while
the doctor only sees the patient occasionally
and must rely, more or less, upon the re-
ports of the nurse. Pe-ru-na is in high favor
with the nurses. 1t is specific for catarrhal
diseases of all varieties. 1t cures catarrh
of the head, catarrh of the throat, catarrh
of the lungs, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh
of the kidneys, and that form of catarrh so
common among women, known to the pro-
fession as pelvic catarrh. ordinarily called

The silver star., 1898-10-20

when Merry was sent to murderefg
row. The reprive having expired, .
new date wat set for the execution Of
Marzen, and the jail ofacials expected
to legally strangle him at the same
time that Merry was executed.
Marzen all along has maintained his
Innocence, and has seemingly never
lost faith in an ultimate acquittal. Yet
twice he has seen the ugly moose be-
fore his eyes and has lodged by the
shortest Of noses. When the gallows
was erected which took the life OF
Merry a second place was hxed for
Marzen. But the mandate of the su-
preme court giving the condemned man
new reprieve was received the day
before. and once more Mic Marzen was
sent back to his cell to wait on the
courts. His faith has received justin
cation, for the court Of last resort has
said he did not receive substantial
Justice in the former trial and has
sent his case back for retrial. BY
this action all but the indictment ID
wiped out, and Mic Marzen Is today
the same man before the law that ne
was when the grand jury returned the
true bill. His prior conviction goes
for naught. He must be tried as II
that trial had never taken place.
Some unaccountable delays have TAX
en- place in this case. Even II the de-
fendant should be guilty legal ques-
tions have arisen which might negative
all the proof that might be offered OF
his guilt. The law says that man
shall be speedily brought to trial. or
having been tried, that no unnecessary
delay shall prevent the execution OF
sentence. Yet four years almost have
elapsed since the arrest and still the
man Is prisoner in the Jail. The man
date Of the supreme court for a new
trial was made in June, yet two months
elapsed before 1t was received in Chi
cago.
But whatever the result Mic Marzen
holds the record for length Of confine-
ment in jail. He has not faced death

penitentiary under sentence Tor fei-
ony. Holzhueter was killed on Jan.
so. 1895. Marzen was arrested a few
weeks afterward and has never been
outside of the Cook county Jail since.
He has long ago exceeded all previous
records for continuous confinement In
the county prison, as nearly four years
have passed away since he entered 1t
as a prisoner charged with capital
crime.
: Marzen's case has few parallels In
criminal annals. The length Of the
term during which he has been ten
ant Of the county Jail is in itself fea-
ture Of unusual interest. But this Is
been in the shadow Of the gallows for
over three years, and still Is not to be
hanged unless another jury assesses
the death penalty. His day of execu-
tion has been fixed twice, but an at
torney has interposed as often to pre-
vent the strangling rope from cutting
short his existence. Once but few
minutes of life were legally remaining
to him when a mandate commanded
the sheriff to suspend proceedings and
the prisoner was remanded to his cell.
Marzen's fight for life has been a legal
marvel. Arrested within a month OF
the death of his supposed victim. con-
victed on the only trial he has faced,
he Is still. four years later, about to be
called upon to face new jury which
shall have full power to pass upon his
guilt or innocence. Over 1900 times
has the sun risen since he was locked
in the Jail. AS many times the sun
has set and he has still been prisoner.
Twice the moose has dangled from the
cross beam, but as often executive or
judicial interference has prevented the
rope from putting out his life.
For four years the county has kept
this star prisoner. Nearly $1,000 has
been spent to furnish him food, to say
nothing OF the good things passed in
by his faithful wife, who has run the
saloon all the time to earn money with
which to battle for her husbands life.
Murder cases cost money, no matter
how few witnesses are used. Take
all the funds needed and used in the
prosecution and defense Of this man
and Cook county Is at least $ZO,OOO
poorer because of his long confinement.
Half dozen thousand will be expended
In the new trial.
Holzhueter was killed by somebody
on Jan. 80. 1895. The body was found
nearly q month later under a tree at
Ninety-first street and Western ave-
nue.. Stab wounds told the story Of
how the man came to his death, al
though an effort had been made to Gre
mate the body. This was not success
full, and the slayer or slayers-for
whether 1t was the act Of one man or
more is not an absolutely settled fact
decided to abandon the remains and
take chances. The dead man and the
prisoner had been friends. and the lat
ter admitted that he was with Fritz
when the German was last seen alive.
Robbery is the alleged motive against
Marzen. Holzhueter was n drover-
butcher and was supposed to have
some money. He occasionally carried
considerable sums with him. Marzen
Ia charged with having slaughtered
the man in woodshed. robbed him.
and then attempted to destroy the
