ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE.
William III. DOrtic VIII Plead Self
Defense ON Murder Charge.

For the murder of Jack Deegan, Will
liam H. Dortic will be put on trial for
his life in the Superior Court this
morning. Twenty-Five witnesses have
been subpoenaed by the state and de-
Tense and the trial promises to be an
interesting one.
Dortic was a bartender at the time
of the shooting and Deegan received the
wounds that caused his death in a sa-
loon. The trouble occurred on Dec. 81,
and Deegan died several weeks later
at St Joseph's Hospital. William KAY
anaugh was accidentally shot by Dor
tic at the same time, but recovered, and
will appear as a witness for the state.
All of the persons connected in one
way or another with the homicide are
well known, and considerable interest
has been manifested in the case. The
state will be represented by Solicitor
General Osborne, who will contend that
Deegan was on his hands and knees.
trying to get away from Dortic when
the mortal wound was inflicted. 1t will
be further contended that he was I'M
armed at the time of the shooting The
prisoner is represented by Twiggs &
CllVer and the contention of the de-
tense will be that the killing was JUS
tlf1able homicide. 1t will be alleged that
Deegan was the aggressor and went to
the saloon in search of Dortic. with
whom he had had previous trouble.
Dortic claims that to avoid a difficulty
he ran upon that occasion, although he
was armed at the time.

FOR THE GREENE FUNERAL.
Probable That City Council VIII
Help Make Arrangements.

Help Make Arrangements.
The petition of Mrs. Edward Karow,
requesting that a committee be named
from the City Council to act with a
committee from the Daughters of the
American Revolution and a committee
from the Sons of the Revolution was
read last night at the meeting OF
Council and referred to the Committee
of the Whole. The committee will be
named, and it is possible that the city
may defray the expenses of the REIN
terment of the remains of Gen. Ma
thanael Greene, which is the work upon
which the committees will engage.
At the meeting of Council We're Act
ing Mayor Dixon, Aldermen Holland,
Thomas, Horrigan, Schroeder, Frank,
Watson, Garfunkel, Bacon, Jones,
Colding and Canty. The business was
dispatched quickly, being of a charac-
ter to admit of greater CELEBRITY than
usual.
The Watson ordinance to secure uni
fcrmity in sidewalks on certain streets
was adopted as amended, the amend
ment providing for the sidewalks being
laid whenever a resolution for a side
walk on any streets is passed by Coun-
ell.
A resolution by Alderman Watson,

luton, which was adopted, providing
for the painting of the interior of the
fire stations
The appointment by Mayor Myers of
Mr.. Walter ,Coney upon the board of
pilotage commissioners was confiremd,
though a question was raised as to
whether this was an appointivesor an
elective position. If it is found that it
is an elective position, Mr.. Coney will
be elected.
1t is somewhat unusual for petitioners
who have had their petitions granted
by Council to express their thanks, but

MRS. STANTON ON THE BIBLE.

The last published communication
from Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the
following letter to the New York Even
ing Post:
'.In view of the recent judicial decis-
ion that the Bible shall not be read in
the public schools of Nebraska, l sug-
gest that inasmuch as the Bible de-
grades woman, and in innumerable
passages teaches her absolute subjec-
ton to man in all relations, in the
state. the church, the home, and the
whole world of work, it is to her inter-
est that the Bible, in its present form,
should be taken from the schools and
from the rising generation of boys, as
it teaches lessons of disrespect for the
mothers of the race Or else to get out
an expurgated edition of the Book,
putting in one volume all the grand
declarations, the moral lessons, poetry,
science and philosophy, and in another
all the Christian mythologies, for those
who would value it as ancient Htera-
ture. The first would then be fit to
place in the hands Of the rising gen

PLANTS THAT COUGH. .-rs.a =,

Man has not monopoly of coughing.
Before there was a vertebrate on the
earth, while man was in process of
evolution through the vegetable world,
Etada tussiens-that is what botanists
call him, while we know him as 'the
coughing bean"-coughed and blew
dust out of his lungs. Recently botan-
lists have been giving special attention
to this bean, and tell interesting things
about it. 1t is a native of warm and
moist tropical countries, and objects
most emphatically to dust When
dust settles on the branching pores in
the leaves of the plant and chokes
them a gas accumulates inside, and
when it gains sufficient pressure there
comes an explosion with sound ex-
actly like coughing and the dust is
blown from its Judgment And, more
strange still, the plant gets red in the
face through the effort

OLD MEN WORKERS.

Men of thought have always been
distinguished for their age. Colon,
Sophocles, Pinder, Anacreon, ard
Xenophon were octogenarians. Kant,
Button, Goethe, Fontenelle and New
ton were over 80. Michael Angelo and
Titan were SO and SO respectively.
Harvey, the discoverer of the circula-
ton of the blood, lived to be 80. Many
men have done excellent work after
they have passed 80 years. Lander
wrote his Imaginary Conversations"
when IS; Izaak Walton welded ready
pen at 80. Hahnemann married at 81
and was still working at 81. Michael
Angelo was still painting his giant
canvases at 49,. and Titan at 80 worked
with the vigor of his early years.
Fontenelle was as light hearted at 9S
as at 40, and Newton at SO worked as
hard as he did in middle life. Cornaro
was in far better health at 95 than at
80 and as happy as a sandboy. At
Hanover DR.. Du Bolsy was still prac-

Some months ago Mrs. Roosevelt
commissioned Mr.. Charles NJ Van
Heusen, of the Van Heusen Charles
Company, Albany, New York, to visit
the noted factories, with the idea of
submitting a collection of samples for
her selection. Seventy-eight different
and exclusive designs were brought to
the attention of the lady of the White
House. For months the matter has
been the thought of the most noted
china decorators, and possibly never
before has there been a more beautiful
collection of designs in ceramic art
presented for the consideration of any
one with a similar idea in view. 1t
seemed as though any taste could be
gratified-deep rich reds. beautiful
blues and yellows, Rose du Barrys. and
the different shades of green to the
very simplest treatments that can be
imagined.
The one selected by Mrs Roosevelt
is simple Colonial pattern, with the
diverse, or front. of the great seal of
the United States enameled in color
as the decorative feature. It was made
by Wedgwood. and covers the REQUIRE
ments possibly better than anv of the
others. One disadvantage, however. of
which the democratic simplicity of this
country boasts, is that there are no
heraldic emblems, and Mrs. Roosevelt
was very anxious to have a service
which would be distinctly known as

BIG TIPS IN ST. PETERSBURG. f

Speaking of high prices, Henry Nor
mans new book on Russia throws some
interesting light on what it incident
ally costs to visit St. Petersburg. To
begin with, he tells us every house and
hotel there contains swarm of SER
wants, and each one expects tip. The
man who takes your coat and hat at
private house thinks ten cents is lit
tie enough, and if you give a dollar or
two to the attendant who performs the
same modest service at an official res
idence he is only satisfied. The tips of
a wealthy Russian to a waiter at a
good restaurant are something enorm-
Gus. A decent room in a first-class
hotel costs about 81 day, and closed
carriage to take you to dinner. ten
minutes drive away, costs SIS. A few
sheets of note paper in your hotel costs
you a shilling, and the cheapest kind
of a bath 81. Mr.. Norman is a great
traveller, and it is his testimony that
st. Petersburg is far and away the
most expensive city in the world

KlPLlNG'S "EVIL EYE"

Fishermen in and around Gloucester,

Rudyard Kipling has ''the evil eye"
He wrote book about them some
years ago and named twenty fishing
boats therein. Everyone of those boats
has met with disaster, the last two
having foundered in a recent gale
Among English soldiers there are not
few who also think that there is
something uncanny about Kipling's
eve.

cARlB CANNIBALs.

A recent Colonial report on the
Caribs of Dominica is interesting.
Very mysterious is the origin Of the
fierce savages, now almost extinct, who
were in possession of the smaller West
T1sfSian islands when the first white
man Rurst into that silent sea"
They showed a distinct Monaghan
character, and ft-yould be hard to dis
tinguish a Carib infant from Chinese
child. Some twenty years ago Chi
naman, who had drifted to Dominica,
declared the Caribs to be his own pee
ule, and married pure bred Cari5
woman. The resultant child showed
no deviation from the native type.
Today they have dropped their man
eating ways; but in the sixteenth CEN
tury they secured the Spanish Main in
search of human food, and from Porto
Rico alone have said to have taken
more than five thousand men to be
eaten. Though Spaniards, Frenchmen,
Dutchmen, negroes, or Arrowaks, were
all meat to them, yet these Caribs seem
to have shown preference for certain
nationalities. Davis, for instance, in his
History of the Caribby Islands," tells
us that ''the Caribbeans have tested OF
all the nations that frequented them,
and affirm that the French are the
most delicate, and the Spaniards are
hardest of digestion" Laborde, also,
in one of his jaunts in st. Vincent, APP
pears to have overtaken, on the road.

quilting the tedium of his journey by
gnawing at the remains of boil ed

Arrowaks. Christians" he said, gave
him the belly ache"
