A Chicago woman has come into
temporary publicity in Connection with a
plan to regenerate the ghetto"
through the establishment of a model
tenement house Her further claim to
notoriety is based on the fact that she
Is the author of several books which
have been more or less read-princi-
paIly less-and that she is "a sister of
Charles ]. Guiteau, the assassin of
President Garfield. Her maiden name,
of course, was Guiteau, and her first
husband was George Seoville, a second
or third rate lawyer, who bought a
farm and established a home near one
Of the lakes in northern Indiana. The
woman has a record of considerable
activity in the formation of women's
clubs and phiIanthropic societies for
the benefit of women and children. Her
hrst husband, Scoville, was the attor-
ney who defended Guiteau, and he
made an ingenious and able defense
of the assassin.
She stood by her brother until he
was executed and after his execution
she wrote an alleged novel in which
she tried to prove that he was not the
assassin Of Garfield, although nothing
was clearer. Then she brought suit
for divorce from Scoville who charged
her with insanity. a charge which she
disproved, and she finally obtained a
divorce, In her present scheme of es-
tablishing q Utopian tenement house
she claims to have the backing and
support of a Chicago official who will
finance the work. while she does the
headwork. The fact that she is will
ing to be known as the sister of Cult
eau-now one of the most odious names
in American disappointing with
Benedict Arnold and Wilkes Booth
and as the divorced wife of the man
who defended him, shows at least that
she has nerve. But we should not
think that her name and family rec
ord would lend popularity to a phil
anthropic movement. The best service
the relatives of Charles J. Guiteau
could do the family would be to let
the name die out of all remembrance.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-WHEAT-A half
cent range for the entire day was the
extent of the market today. The ten
dency of the trade was little more
optimistic than yesterday, however.
and prices for the December and May
option ruled slightly higher Copious
rains in the Northwest which will re-
tard harvesting in that section for a
few days at least. There were liberal
offerings of wheat on the advance by
one of the large elevator houses which
caused a slight reaction to the early
prices. The export demand for both
spring and winter wheat is reported
poor, only five loads worked for export
today The market closed steady with
out any particular feature.
CORN-Ranged higher mainly in
sympathy with the strength in oats
because of nervousness over the pre-
dietions of colder weather in Iowa and
lower Minnesota. which may possibly
affect I growing crop. The market
was generally oversold in anticipation

bringing about the rally today and
closing the market firm

prominent and active than any of the
other grain markets. The same peo-
pie were buyers today that were SO
aggressively bullish yesterday The
cash market is reported one cent higher

The Porcuptne.s Quilts.

The spines are very loosely attached
to the porcupine, and they are very
sharp-as sharp as a needle at the
outer end. At almost the slightest
touch they penetrate the nose Of a dog
or the clothing or flesh of a person
touching the porcupine and stick there,
coming away from the animal without
any pull being required. The facility
in catching hold with one end and let
ting go with the other has sometimes
caused people to think that the spines
had been thrown at them. The outer
end of the spines, for some distance
down. is covered with small barbs.
These barbs cause a spine once imbed-
ded in living animal to keep working
farther in with every movement of the
muscles, so that it is not a pleasant
thing to get stuck full of them.

Earthquakes.

Among the many strange relation
ships which earthquakes hold TO vari-
Gus natural phenomena there is posi-
bly, one between the times of their oc-
currenee and Of irregularities In the
revolution of the world. For many
years 1t has been observed that there
are slight but irregular changes in lati-
tude, or in other words, the axis of our
earth does not always point in the
same direction. The pole wanders
about In mean position, sometimes
IN a path that is nearly circular, while
at others it appears to be exceedingly
irregular and even retrograde. The
world top is not spinning truly, but 1t
slightly wabbles. When the change in
direction of its axis is sharp large
earthquakes have been frequent. II a
swiftly moving body Is, so to speak,
compelled to turn a corner, that it
should be subjected to strains which
might result In yielding is easily con-
ceivable Regarded from this point of
view, the times at which strata in
seismic strain give way are to some
extent governed by erratic movements
in the rotation of our sphere. The
earthquake and the Wabble may, how
ever, be due to a common cause and
the question therefore Is one which re-
quires closer examination.--John Milne

A good horse cannot be a bad color.
1t is said. 1t is certain that Derby
winners are not drawn from certain
colors. Has a gray ever won the race,
or a dun or a slSewbaid or a piebald7
Has there ever been a thoroughbred OF
the latter type? Quite black thorough
breds are rare, white still more so,
gray uncommon even among the less
exalted of public performers. The
"Stud Book" would not bear out these
statements where colors uncommon on
the race course are described. The ex-

ton was correct at the time 1t was en-
tered. Other owners, less certain as TO
what color may appear when the first

WITH THE EDITORS.

The whole situation IN Cuba as re-
vealed to date is well summed up BY
the Kansas city star thus.
There is little probability that the
conferences now under way in Cuba
will Immediately lead TO a discontinue
ance Of the insurrection. The insurg-
ents have not gained courage with
their advances. They have not been
met with either a strong force or a
determined administrative policy. Their
demands at this time are likely to be
greater than they would have been
before taking UP arms. To meet those
demands. or even some of them. under
stress Of hostile demonstration
would be such a confession of weak
ness as the government would be very
loath to make. and certainly would not
make except through fear OF ulti-
mate defeat And il does not seem
reasonable that such defeat should be
feared. much as the intervening strife,
bloodshed and disorder would be de-
plored. But the government. whether
il adopts a drastic and warlike policy.
or whether il endeavors TO make peace
on terms that would not be beneath
its dignity 10 accept. has behind il the
moral support of the United States. the
political sponsor of the young repub-
lie And with this support President
Palma can take heart Of circumstances.
and should be able TO maintain toward
the disIoyal citizens OF Cuba a strong,
dignified attitude.

age. While he has not Travelled much

constantly. He was not strong in body
or health, could not sleep or secure any
rest, and doctors and medicines afforded
him no relief. He had pains in the

LINCOLN's LAST TREE.
Relic of Mnrtyred President Split up
for Souvenirs.

Petersburg. ILL.,, Sept. 1.-THE last
tree planted by Abraham Lincoln at
his old home at Eighth and Edwards
streets in Springfield. was the victim
of a recent severe storm. The tree was
an elm and the last survivor of num-
Der planted by the martyr President
over sixty five years ago. and while he
was a lawyer in Springfield
Early the next morning, when work
men began to chop the tree to pieces,
preparatory to carrying it away, curl
Gus people began to gather at the scene,
and in a short time there were many
persons standing about. eager to pro-
cure some part of the elm to preserve
as mementoes. One man secured a large
stick of wood about four feet long and
a foot in diameter and will convert it
into penholders which he will sell as
souvenirs of the capital OF Illinois. Al
most before daylight most of the small
er branches had been broken off TO be
used as walking canes and by the time
that the workmen had completed their
task of cutting the trunk of the tree
into sections almost the entire remain
ing portion had been carried away.

A Sad Picture.

At VarZin once. after sitting for some
time sunk In profound reflection, Bis
marck lamented that he had derived
but small pleasure or satisfaction from
his political activity, but, on the other
hand, much vexation, anxiety and trou-
Bile. He had. he said, made no one
happy by 1t, neither himself. his family
nor any one else, but probably" he
continued, many unhappy. Had it not
been for me there would have been
three great wars the less, the lives of
$4,000 men would not have been sac
rificed and many parents. brothers. sis
tiers and widows would not now be

There is one Unborn admiration in
mankind about which nobody Is heard
to argue or condemn. and that is love
for fine horse There are plenty of
people who don't like dogs, but those
who do not like so well are so bigoted
In their affection that there is no SYM
patty between them and those who
do not like the CANNES.
But when it comes TO fine horses. the
admiration seems to be universal. In
tlividuals may disagree on what horses
are admirable, but not on the general
proposition that some horses are adj
mirable. Horses and their owners
come nearer to the spirit of eomrade-
ship than dogs and their owners. At
least it is a higher place of eomrade-
ship.

FALSE ALARM BANK run.


The run of the past couple of days
on the Pullman Loan and Savings Bank
is merely a reverberation from the
Stensland crash and that which car
ried down the Real Estate Trust Co. of
Philadelphia. failure of magnitude
Is bound to be far-reaching, but when
the responsibility rests on the criminal
operations of the banks officers, one
can naturally look for disaster of a
still more universal character follow
ing in its wake.
There are always plenty Of people to
point the finger of mistrust toward men
of unimpeachable integrity. especially
when they can back up their suspicious
by a horrible example" Sometimes
these people are natural pessimists,
sometimes they have personal ends to
gain. Quite as frequently as not the
latter is the case, and many a mis-
guided savings depositor has been
known to listen to the voice of the
tempter, and withdrawn his account.
only to have what he has accumulated
by years OF frugality fall into the
hands of the sharper who warned him
against the savings bank
In the present instance the savings
deposits in Chicago have fallen off just
three per cent. That the decrease is
directly attributed to the Stensland
failure. is scarcely to be doubted for
it Is the first instance in years of a
baclx-slidi at the time of the year when
deposits should be greater instead of
less. IN view of the extent and char
acter of the above quoted failures the
percentage of Withdrawals may be re-
garded as small, and this fact would
appear to demonstrate cool-headed
confidence of the people generally in
the integrity and judgment OF the rep
resentative men TO whom they have en-
trusted their savings.
That the people are wise who refuse
to go into Mysteries because one good
map, or two or twenty for that matter,
have gone wrong. is evident when the
extremely small percentage of default
ing banking officials is taken into ac-
count. or course the name of every
back-slder is shouted from the house
tops and while the excitement is at its
height, people are disposed to forget
about the thousands of calm and hon
est men, who are keeping to the path
of quiet conservatism from which they
never swerve throughout their lives.
Instead of a warning to withdraw
their money from institutions which
they have always regarded as safe. the
example Of Stensland should increase
the confidence of depositors in mer
whom they have no reason to mistrust
Their money is certainly as safe as il
was before the Milwaukee avenue fail
ure or the Philadelphia bank crash
and should be safer. The disgrace ant
punishment of every betrayer of his
trust who is brought to justice, shoulC
serve as an example pointing out tn,
by bankers no matter how sore tn,
temptation to traverse it.
