TRUNK MURDER PUZZLES
POLICE HOLD ITALIANS ON
TECHNICAL CHARGES.
Physician Believes Moses Sachs Was
Packed Alive in a Trunk
and Suffocated.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-Three Italians
were arrested this afternoon in connec-
ton with the murder of Moses Sachs a
jewelry salesman, whose body was
found packed in trunk in the hallway
of house on Goerick street, on the East
Side.
The police have few clues to work
upon. The detectives seized upon two
faded red table covers in the trunk as
furnishing probably the most likely aid
in tracing back the crime.
The similarity of the case to that of
Meyer Weisbard, jewelry peddler,
whose body several years ago was also
remarked The Weisbard mystery was
never cleared UP.
Sachs had been missing since l O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. 1t was only short
time before the body was found that

that their father had left home yesterday
afternoon with 5000 worth of jewelry in
his possession and had not returned

the police to remove il. The trunk was
taken to the nearest police station, where
the body, bent double, was discovered
in the trunk.
According to a coroner's physician who
conducted the autopsy, Sacks died of
suffocation. He believes the aged mer-

der.
Sachs was reported missing last night
by his sons, who appeared at the police
station again this morning in time to
identify the body.
Efforts to find a merchant who sold the
new trunk in which the body was found
proved fruitless tonight. Several women
who saw the eXpressmen who delivered
il also baked police efforts by refusing
a description of the men. The only
clue the police have is furnished
by two red table covers which were in
the trunk.
Sachs had been in this country twenty
wears. He was reputed to be well off
and usually carried considerable money.

Hang on to the Horse.
During the second Cleveland cam
paign Colonel John =. Irish. the golden
tongued orator, and Judge Kline of
Waterloo. Ia. the man with lungs of
brass. were stumping Iowa in behalf Of
the Democratic candidate.
They were driving in buggy on the
road to Sidney, young city in the
southwestern part Of the state, when
they came to fork Of the road where
there was no sign board. Which turn
to take was a question, as they had
barely time to make the town anyway.
There's a farmhouse over there a
bit. You sit still. and III go over and
ask questions" said Irish, and. climb
ing out, he started for the desired in
formation. He got it and on his re-
turn saw the horse. evidently fright
cHed at something, tearing down the
road u, runaway speed. Instead of try.
ing to stop the horse, Judge Kline
dropped the reins, climbed over the
seat and dropped off the back Of the
buggy into the road.
When Irish caught up to him the
judge was busily busting himself of
after his roll in the roadway, not in
the least disfigured by his acrobatic
stunt
you're on the right fork of the road
all right, Judge. but why didn't, you

laughing heartily. .

TEMPTING TABBY.

Ruse That Won Satisfactory Pose
For the Camera.
The repairs on the house were COM
pleted and the shavings swept out; also
a new coat Of paint added dressiness
to the outside. What next but a pho
tograph Of its new angles? That be-
ing considered, the question of mo-
ment was how to pose Katusha.
Rolled into ball every cat looks
like every other cat; hence it was Ka-
tusha in action that must grace the
foreground. Being abominably cod
died and fat, action was the last thing
that appealed to Katusha. Coaxing
and likewise prodding made no effect.
She had been known upon occasions
to be stirred by a morsel of de!ectable
food. But fancy an aristocratic feline
pictured in the attitude of tearing at a
chicken bone! Impossible for Katu-
sha.
There arose an emergency and with
it the mistress, who disappeared into
the house and brought forth a branch
Of Japanese paper cherry blossoms. A
wave Of them before Katusha's eyes
was like making some hypnotic pass.
She got up, stretched her body, while
her nose just reached the pinkish flow
ers. That was it! They appealed to
her aestheticism.
Snap went the camera. 1t was per-
feet.
''How"- began the man Of the
house.
"Just the alluring fragrance Of q
silver Of chicken secreted in the
bough," said herself as Katusha rolled
back into ball.-Kansas City Star.

Tho Great Humorist Always Had a
Relish For Personal Effect.
At the time of our first meeting
Mark Twain was wearing a sealskin
coat. with the fur out, in the salts
faction of caprice or the love of
strong effect which he was apt TO in.
!dulge through life Fields, the publish
er, was present.
l do not know what droll comment
was in Fields mind with respect to
this garment. but probably he felt
that here was an original who was
not to be brought to any Bostonian
book In the judgment Of his vivid
qualities. With his crest Of dense red
hair and the wide sweep Of his fam
Ing mustache Clemens was not dis
cordantly clothed in that sealskin coat
which afterward, in spite Of his own
warmth in 1t, sent the cold chills
through me when l once accompanied
1t down Broadway, and shared the
immense publicity it won him.
Clemens had always relish for per-
sonal effect, which expressed itself in
the white suit Of complete serge which
he wore in his last years and in the
Oxford gown which he put on for
every possible occasion and said he
would like to wear all the time. That
was not vanity in him, but keen feel
ing for costume which the severity OF
our modern tailoring forbids men
though it fatters women to every ex.
cess in it.-W. D. Howells in Har.

Tho Cow Decided,

A peasant living in the village Of

lost his COW. About two months ago
he happened to be standing at the
railroad station watching train load
of cattle about to be sent across the
frontier. Suddenly he gave q shout.
That's my cow"' he cried, running
toward one of the cars. ...
The trainmen only laughed at him,
and he went before the magistrate.
This good man listened to the peas
ants story patiently. Then he pro-
nounced this judgment: ''The COW shall
be taken to the public square Of Pre-
deal and MIXED. Then If it goes Of its
own accord to the plaintiffs stable it
shall belong to him."
The order Of the court was carried
out, and the, COW, in spite Of its ten
months absence. took without hesita-

Etiquette.

The very high sounding word eti-
quette had very humble origin. for
etiquette meant simply label. 1t de-
rived its present meaning from the
fact that Scotch gardener who had
laid out the grounds at Versailles for
Louis XIV. was much annoyed at the
courters walking over his newly made
paths and at length had labels placed
to indicate where they might walk
At first these labels were ignored. but
a hint from high quarters that in flu
ture the walks Of the courters must
be within the "etiquettes' or labels
was promptly attended to. To keep
within the 'etiquettes" came to mean
to do the correct thing.
