A Brutal Murder.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May 12.-One of the most brutal murders ever com mitted in this city took place at the Att lantic hotel yesterday. Lawrence Bres- sano, fireman in the hotel, crept into the meatroom and split the skull of Michael Tornish, the chef. with meat cleaver. He then took large butcher knife and slashed the body in most horrible manner. He cut off the nose and ears, gouged out the eyes and then cut strip after strip of flesh off the face of the unfortunate victim. When the upper part of the body was unrec- ognizable, Bressano jumped on the body and danced from the head to the feet of his victim until the police, at tracted by the frenzied yells of the murderer arrived. Bressano then turn ed his attention to his would be cap- turers and was not subdued until one policeman broke his club over his head and another knocked him senseless to the ground with the brass buckle of a belt. Bressano at police headquarters admitted the murder and said he felt better for having committed it.

Tribute to Our Old Kitchen,

rar back in my musings my thoughts
have been cast
TO the cot where the hours Of NV child
hood were passed.;
love all It's rooms to the pantry and
hall,
But that blessed old kitchen was dcarcr
than all.
Its chairs and its tables none brighter
could be,
And all It's surroundings were sacred
TO mo
TO the nail in the ooiling, tho latch on
the door,
And love ovcry crack on tho old
Kitchen floor.
| remember tho tiro- place with month
high and wido,
Tho old fashioned oven that stood bv
its side,
Out OF which, each Thanksgiving,
came puddngs and pics,
That fairly bcwildcrcd and dazZlcd our
Aud then, too, st. Nicholas, slyly and
still,
Camo down overy Christmas our stock
ngs to fill;
While the mark OF the axe handle out
by the door
Did not pass for his hoofs, while carry
ing his store,
lint the dearest OF memories I've laid
up In yorc,
Is the mother that trod ON tho old
kitchen floor.
Day in and day out, from morning Til
night,
Her footsteps were busy, her hca TT al
ways light,
For 1t seemed to me then, that she
knew not II care,
The smile was SO gentle her face used
to wear;
! remember with pleasure what joy
filled our eyes,
When she told us the stories that child
rcn so prize;
Thcy wore now every night, though
we'd heard them before
From her lips, at the wheel, on tho old
kitchen floor.
| remember the window, where morn
| ings I'd run,
AS soon as the daybrcak, to watch for
the sun;
Ana thought, whom my head scarcely
reached to tho sill
That ttslcpt through the night in the
| trees on the hill
| And the small tract OF ground that nv
| eyes thero could vicw
Was all tho world that my infancy
| knew;
Indeed, cared not to know OF it
more,
For world of itself was that old
kitchen floor.
Tonight those old visions come back
at their will,
But the wheel and it's music forever
are still;
Tho band is moth .caten, the wheel
laid away,
TO be used on our cart on those bright
sunny days;
The hearthst0ne, 80 sacred, is just as
twas then,
And tho voices OF children ring out
there again;
And yo who do daily, cross over that
sill,
Step lightly, dear children, for think
| OF her still.
I ask not for honor, but this would |
crave,
That when the lips speaking are closed
In the grave.
My children would gather theirs round
by their side,
And tell them Of the mother who long
ago died;
"Twon Id bo more enduring, far dearer
to me-,
Than inscription on granite or marble
could be-,
TO have them tell often, as l did OF
yOre,
{. or the mother who trod on the ole
kitchen floor.

After sojourn Of a number OF months
in Europe, MI. Jacob Lauritz HORT, the
lyric tenor and teacher Of voice culture,
has resumed his musical work in Mime
apolis, and as teacher at the Lutheran
Ladies' Seminary Conservatory of Music
in Red Wing. The greater part of the
season was spent in London studying
with George Henschel. While studying ora
torio, special work and attention was also
given to Schubert's songs. Mr.. HORT tells
of the splendid opportunity afforded this
season in London in hearing concerts and
grand opera. Among artists he mentions
having heard are Melba. Patti, Albani,
Clara Butt, Marie Brema, Anna Crossley,
Plancon, Ben Daviss, William Rumford,

IS HE A BURCHARD?
Appleton Incident Has Caused An
other Break Between Stalwarts
and Half Breeds.
Organ of the Former Declares La
Toilette a Bolter of the
Worst Type.

Special to The journal
Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 28.--Wil F. w
Heinemann of Appleton, go down in the
history of Wisconsin, as the Burchard Of
the gubernatorial campaign Of 1902?
This Is the question the, managers OF
Governor LaFOllette's campaign are try.
ing to solve. Certain it is that he is re.
sponsible for breaking out afresh Of the
fact1onal fires in the republican ranks
Whether the question he propounded tC
the governor and the latter's answer will
defeat the republican ticket is as vel
problematical, but.the half-forgotten fgh
is on again in all i4sspristine vigor, and il
warts and halfbreeas uhtA one Of the fac.
lions has been zannihilated.
At Appleton the governor had finished
addressing an enthusiastic meeting
Many of the people, in the audience were
quitting the house and the governor was
preparing to leave the stage, when Mr.
Heinemann arose and asked the governor
if he would answer one question. The re.
ply was in the affirmative. Then Mr.
Hefnemann said:
''Governor, in view Of the brilliant
record made by Senator Spooner, tt
which you have SO eloquently referred. : in
your speech, and in view of the splendid
campaign he is making for the entire re-
publican ticket, are you in favor Of the
CAASOAAuAIAO1Ao1 ASIQAu u SpOOneT
to the United States senator"
Without any perceptible hesitation, Gov
ernor LaFollette answered In tones that
had in them a ring OF Defiance:
II will answer you In this way, sir: am
for the success and for the principles OF
the republican party, and the day and
hour that Senator Spooner raises his
voice for the principles of the republican
party, as laid down in the state platform,
I will raise my voice for his reelection
to the United States senate; because /
then can do SO in conformity with the
platform of my party"
The stalwarts in this city received the
governors pronouneement as a throwing
down Of the gage Of battle and they i'm
mediately prepared to resume the fight
The Sentinel, in a double-leaded editorial,
calls the governors attention to the fact
that at least 80 per cent of all the repub-
l1can candidates for the legislature have
pledged themselves to vote for the return
of Senator spooner,I and insists that he is
now setting himself above the party and
calls him bolter Of the worst type. The
Free Press, on the contrary, which is the
governors personal organ, asserts thai
Mr. Spooner should be obliged to give his
Endorsement to the entire republican plat
form Defore any more political honors are
bestowed upon him.
" ShreWd politicians estimate that the
governors declaration will cost him thou
sands OF stalwart votes that would other
wise nave gone to him.

Boston Globe. -..-
Mr.. Hort doubtless has one Of the best
tenor voices heard in this city this sea-
SON. His high notes were especially sweet
and clear and the range Of his voice
quite remarkable. One very pleasing
feature Of his singing was that his enun-
citation was so distinct that every one in
the audience could understand every word
he uttered. Mr.. Hjort's selections were
such that they gave him plenty Of oppor-
tunity to display the excellence Of his
voice. In oratorio work, for which he has
been fitted by eminent professors, he
testified to his capabilities in the render
ing of a recitatiVe and aria from Elijah"
Other selections in which he displayed his
voice to good advantage were: IF I
Should Sleep" by Bartlett, and 20, Dr.
vine Redeemer," by Gounod.-Hoboken
