WHEN FOOD WAS SCARCE.
Prices That Ruled In Paris During tho
Sieoc Of 1870,

Prices That Ruled In Paris During the
Siege Of 1870.
The following interesting statement
Of the prices that were paid for food
during the siege of 1870 is taken YER
baIly out Of the journal Of French
officer stationed In Paris at the time:
Toward the middle Of October we
had to make up our mind to sacrifice
the animals Of the geological garden.
The elephants and many other beasts
were bought by NJ. Debos. the owner
of the English meat shop In Av.
Friendland. The meat Of the elephants
was sold from $40 to $12 kilogram
two pounds), the trunk commanding
the highest price, SIG kilogram. The
trunk and feet were both declared de.
licious by all gormands. In the same
shop pair of young wolves were sold
for $3.50 per pound. The meat was
soft and without taste. The biggest
price was paid for young live lamb
that had been swiped by 'franctireur'
from the enemy. One hundred dollars
was paid for it.
Here Is an exact price list Of some
yictuals toward the end Of the siege:

sEven the rich had to live on the
meagerest diet and to take into their
menu things that till then only the
trapper in the virgin forests was sup
posed to eat. I leave 1t to you to inl-
agine what kind OF meals were served
In the small restaurants and boarding
houses.
Moreover, everybody had to submit
to the strictest orders. People stood In
file before the butcher and baker shops
to wait for their turns. Each household
was furnished with card from the
municipality authorizing the bearer to
bread. The cook, the housewife, the
young girl. the little child (men never
60 shopping In France), were posted for
hours before the shops In rain and
snow, with wet feet, shiverlng with
cold. The unfortunate ones endured
without a murmur these hardships.
Women throughout the time OF the
Siege were setting an example Of cour-
age and self abnegation not always fol-
lowed by men.
1T was sad and touching spectacle,
these long files of women, nearly all
dressed in black, grouped before the
doors of the dealers, watched by the
national guard, with whom they at first
We're laughing and chatting, till the
sufferlngs from the cold had silenced
the laugh and sometimes brought forth
the tears.
But in spite of all precautions the
stores one by one were exhausted, the
provision put in too late before the
siege, were used up, and, while the ba-
bies, deprived OF milk, died in great
numbers or, fed ON sweet wine and
bread, pinned slowly away, the big peo-
pie tried to find new resources to pro-
long their lives"

q shade of gloom over the more en-
thusiastic Dolliver supporters. Later
they We're cheered by the arrival Of
Senator Long, from Mr.. Delivers
home. While the senator had no
specific assurances to give. neither
had he any encouragement and the
Dolliver movement was revived with
feeling that if the lightning struck
in the northwest it would find the
senator from Iowa willing to yield
to the behests of his party.
The Minnesota delegates continue
the agitation in favor Of Frank B.
Kellogg, of ST. Paul, and they pro-
fess to find much encouragement in
developments Of the day. Mr.. Kel-
logg finds himself much embarrassed
by the situation. He is supporter
Of Senator Dolliver, and has done
all that he could to discredit the
movement in his behalf.
The platform came in for renew
ed consideration during the day as
Senator Hopkins of Illinois, who is
to be chairman Of the resolutions
committee, held lengthy conference
with Wade Ellis of Ohio, who is a
custodian of the Taft platform en-
bodying the Roosevelt Taft II ideas.
When quizzed as to the platform,
Mr.. Hopkins remarked:
'tYou can depend on it, there will
be no platform until the resolutions
committee appointed by the conven-
ton considers it fully and passes
upon it finally
This was accepted as technically
exact, but it was none the less be-
lieved that most Of the essential fea-
lures of the coming document had
been sketched with exactness and
awaits only the formal approval Of
the platform committee. .s
Those who are directing the Taft
forces are responsible for the an
nouncement of two important devel-
opments today respecting the plat.
form problem.
One is that Senator Albert J. Hop
kins of Illinois. will be chairman Of
the resolutions committee, and the
other that the Roosevelt Taft plat
form will be adopted in the precise
form in which it was approved in
Washington before being brought to
Chicago by Wade Ellis, who compil-
ed the document under the instruc-
tons Of conference recently held
at the White House. q,

SUICIDE OF BROTHER OF NO.
ToRIoUS SAUSAGE MAKER.
Kills Himself in Spectacular Manner
at an Amusement Park
in Elgin, Ill.

CHICAGO, October 17-Arnold Luet.
CERT. brother Of Adolph L. Luetgert, the
Chicago sausage maker whose trial and
conviction for the murder OF his wife a
few years ago was one Of the most sensa-
tional in the criminal annals of the coun.
try. committed suicide in a spectacular
manner at Elgin. ILL.,, yesterday. His
identity. however. was not discovered un-
til today.
Luetgert was visiting an amusement
park when to attract the attention of the
crowd he fired three shots into the air.
With everybody staring at him. he then
sent fourth bullet into his head. The
suicide. who in his career had been a
butcher. school teacher and at the time
of his death was in the real estate bust
ness was a daily attendant at the trial
of his brother. Adolph.
According to the testimony at the trial
Adolph Luetgert killed his wife and de-
stroyed the body by boiling it IN a sau-
sage vat. Only small sesamoid bone
was found. but around this the police
built a circumstantial structure which re-
suited in Luetgert being sentenced to a
life term in prison. After serving a few
years there he was found dead In his cell
one morning.

NEW YORK, October 17.-There was
no direct and specific explanation Of the
heavy tone which characterized the deal
ines upon the stock exchange during the
greater part of this morning S business
session. The London stock market was
however, also weak in all departments
partly because of renewed uneasiness as
to the Balkan situation and further ap-
pearance of some serious business en-
barrassments in the provinces. The linn
tied operations here for foreign account
were practically all upon the selling side
of the market.
The usual weekly reports of the mer-
camille agencies upon the stale of the
country's trade set forth reactionary tend
encies In various lines, accounted for
chiefly by the unseasonably warm
weather.
Little interest appeared to be taken In
the outlook for the weekly bank state
ment, largely because the preliminary
forecasts indicated that little more than
q negative exhibit could be expected
Transactions in the stock market were
in light volume and were productive OF

manufacturer of High Point and nominee

c. F. Toms of Hendersonville. nominee
for lieutenant governor.
Your visit to North Carolina gives
me the firm belief that not only will you
carry the state, but that the state ticket
will be elected" was what Mr.. Cox told
Judge Taft as he and his running mate
joined the Taft special. I'VE are sure
Of electing two and there is a possibility
of electing one more republican repre-
sentative" he added. In outlining the
situation to Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Cox said that
he was nominated unanimously and that
he had made a campaign Of the state.

negro question has been eliminated he
added, by an amendment to the state
constitution. which it Is estimated will
limit the negro vote to five thousand in
the state. This was tho action of the
democrats. who declared they were not
DISTINGUISHING the negro but enfranchis-
ing the whites"
This information caused Judge Taft to
add an expression Of satisfaction that he
had taken his southern swing. He spoke
briefly at Statesville and at this place,
and during the day and evening will adj
dress meetings at High Point and Green's
boro in this state. and at Danville and

GREENSBORO, N. c.. October IL
At High Point Mr.. Taft was introduced

ductor, who Is the republican nominee for

KAISER STANDS BY AUSTRIA.
Letter Promises Support Of German
Army to Francis Joseph.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
VIENNA, October 1.-THE Emperor
William is the first sovereign to reply to
the Emperor Francis Joseph's letter an
nouncing the annexation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina by Austria Herr Won Tsch-
rschky. the German ambassador. had a
special audience with the Austrian en-
peror at Budapest, and presented the
kaisers letter to Francis Joseph. 1t is
reported that the letter approves the an
rexation and promises to support IT by
Germany's diplomacy and. If necessary,
with all her military assistance.
Although no authorized official state
ment can be obtained regarding the Brit
ish, Russian and French agreement. it is
known that Austria has not receded from
her first position which was that she
would have nothing to do with any con-
ference if it was proposed to review her
annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Moreover. she has not the slightest inten-
ton of compromising Servia.
These views are supported by the news
papers. The Allgemeine Zeitung naively
asks where the compensations to Servia
and Montenegro are to come from II they
are not to be at Turkeys cost.
BERLIN. October 17.-Laying stress on
the view that the British. Russian and
French program cannot be discussed as
indicating the scope OF the proposed Euro
pean conference, 1t is intfmated in official
circles here that Germany is likely to re-
ject every proposal to which Austria
objects. and equally. although Austria
may approve. will reject any which Tur-
key does not accept
The newspapers criticised adversely the
triple scheme, all making the point that
Great Britain has deserted Turkey for the
purpose of promoting closer Russo British
relations. The Post, which is guided by
the opinions of the ministry of foreign at
fairs. says after criticising the scheme
sharply:
after the experience at Algeciras and
The Hague the powers cannot be offended
II we do not show much enthusiasm over
an international conference. Germany
best program is to keep her powder dry
and her sword sharpened.
