city. The signature is spelled “Lutrigart,” and this alone, they say, is enough to brand the letter as a fraud. The letter is quite long and is written in English, which, it is said, the missing woman was unable to speak. It states that the writer is now living with a family at 304 Palisade avenue, Jersey City, and that she was doing chamber work at the Metropole Hotel. The writer implored Chief Kipiey to save Luetgert, as she said he was innocent of the charge against him. The letter stated that Mrs. Luetgert would never return to her husband, because she was afraid he would kill her. and that she was going to Germany as soon as she could earn money enough to take her there. Her whereabouts since her disappearance last May is also given. According to the letter, Mrs. Luetgert first went to Wisconsin, then to Flint, Mich., then to Detroit, and from there to New York city. Nothing New But the Name. CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—“ Der Wurst Fabrikant von Lakevtew,” otherwise ‘‘The Sausage Maker of Lakeview,” which was advertised as a dramatization of the Luetgert murder case, proved a veritable gold mine for its producer last night. The aisleways, chairs, boxes, beer tables and everything else around the hall where a man or woman could sit were occupied. And it turned out that there is nothing new to the play but the name. The manager of the little German theater saw an opportunity to catch the public eye and he exchanged the name of the familiar German comedy by Blumenthal and Kahlburg, known in English as “The Two Escutcheons.” The smart thing iu this is appreciated when it is remembered that in the comedy as it stands in the original the central male character is a manufacturer of sausage and hails from Chicago. Adolph L. Luetgert and his cellmate. Nic Marzen, who is under sentence of death for murder, helped make up a congregation of 400 male prisoners at the jail last night who took part in a Christian meeting.

Friend, Mrs. Augusta Nack has sent word to District Attorney Young, of Queens county, that she is ready to tell ail she knows about the murder of William Guldensuppe. Mrs. Nack asks in return that the authorities allow her to plead to manslaughter In the first degree. The maximum sentence for this offense, if accepted, will be imprisonment in state’s prison at hard labor for twenty years. District Attorney Young has thus far refused to consider the proposition made by the woman. He is willing, however, to accept a plea of murder in the second degree, which w’ould carry w’ith it a sentence by the court of life imprisonment. “Unle-s Mrs. Nack makes a full confession before the end of this week,” said District Attorney Youngs, “I will not accept her plea, as we have an excellent case against her. Our case against Thorn, who is indiettd with Mrs. Nack for the murder of Willi rn Gu densupp.?, is also complete. 1 feel conndent that me jury will finu him guilty of murder in the first degree. The statements of Frank Clark completes the rase against the man. Our case against the woman is Just as strong. I have not TtCflvrd her full confession as yet, but 1 would not consider her plea if the price for it would be my consent to have her plead to manslaughter in the first degree. That time has pass, d.” ‘lf that is the case,” says Mrs. Nack, “then 1 will go to the chair with Thorn.”

GLASS FAMINE FEARED ONLY FOl'R WINDOW PLANTS IN THE COUNTRY IN OPERATION. State Federation of Labor Meets at Marion To-Day—Desperado Joe Ilorton Captured. Special to the Indlinapqlis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind.. Oct. 11.—'The windowglass trouble is becoming more aggravated The stand of the blowers and gatherers, who now control the original Window-glass Workers’ Association from which the flatteners and cutters withdrew and established their own national unions, is set forth by the following statement by President Burns: "The plants at Ithaca, N. Y., were fired the other day, as the firm had signed the scale submitted to then) by our organization. They had been working one day, however, when it was learned that the firm had also signed the scale of the flatteners and cutters, which they had submitted independently of our organization. The membership of the Window-glass Workers’ Association recognizes no scale but their own, and as soon as we learned that the firm had signed the other scale we called our men out and the plant Is now idle. The cutters and flatteners had r.o right to withdraw from our organization and we will not recognize them as a separate body. There are only four plants running, those at Covington. Pa., Bellefonte, Pa., Elwood. Ind., and Wilmington. Del., and in all of these our scale alone is signed and recognized. Several others are about ready to start, but the present difficulties with the flatteners and cutters is a partial hindrance.” The flatteners and cutters insist that their scale must be signed. They are independent organizatiens. If it is not signed they will not return to work. Thus the windowglass market Is tied up and a glass famine is threatened. The plants referred to by Burns represent only forty of the 1,700 pots in the Nation. Their output is but fifteen thousand boxes per month. Imports have never amounted to more than 100,000 boxes per month, even in the years of greatest building activity. They have latterly fallen to 42,00) boxes per month. The product of Belgian glass factories has decreased fully one-third since last July. The coal miners’ national organization in Belgium has given notice of a demand for a 15 per cent, advance, or a general strike will be declared in November. Everything points to lower imports. The stocks in manufacturers’ hands are small and considerably broken. The average normal consumption of the country is 440,000 boxes per month. The available supply, consisting of present domestic product and imports, is less than 100,000 boxes per month. Stocks In manufacturers’ hands cannot possibly exceed 300.000 boxes at the present time. It is safe to predict that there will be no general resumption during the month of October. The Mahler Glass Company, Dubois, Pa., reported last w r eek as having signed the f*ale. will not resume till a general settlement has been reached. From these facts it is clear that window' glass will be scarce by the end of the present month, and desirable sizes of good quality will be at a premium.

FRENCH LICK SPRINGS FIRE. Windsor Hotel Hurned anil Guests Lose Their Valuables. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRENCH LICK, Ind., Oct. 11.—Fire destroyed the big Windsor Hotel at this place between 1 o’clock and 3 o’clock this morning. All the contents were lost and many of the guests lost their effects. The fire originated in the bake shop and was under headway before it was discovered by the watchman, and soon the entire building was a mass of flames. The guests were given the alarm and soon they were rushing out into the drizzling rain dressed in their sleeping gowns. It was for a while thought three people had perished in the building, but on investigation it w r as found all had escaped. The Windsor was the main building at the springs and contained the kitchen, dining room and storerooms, which is a severe loss to the company. The Clifton pavilion and Casino stands but a few yards away, and would have been destroyed but for the downpour of rain since 10 o'clock last night. Some of the guests left diamonds and other valuable effects, which loss will possibly reach $3,000. The loss to the company will exceed $50,000; insurance about $25,000. One of the guests says: “The fire broke out in the large dining ‘room, which is only used during the height of the season, and, consequently, had been shut up for some time. It was discovered by one of the guests, a lady of about seventy years of age. Her room was over the dining room. She Immediately gave the alarm. There were about sixty guests in the hotel, about twenty of them being women. There was almost no excitement or panic, and there were no narrow escapes. A ludicrous feature was the appearance of a very pompous old gentleman, who rushed on the lawn in front of the building clad only in a night shirt and a shiny silk hat. A white woman servant rushed from the building in her night robe with a satchel containing her valuables under her arm. “Many of the guests lost their effects in the flames. A lady from St. Louis lost S6OO worth of diamonds, besides other jewelry. The same lady, who was staying with her invalid husband and child, seized the latter when the alarm was given, took it to a place of safety, and then returned and helped her husband out of the burning building. Considerable comment was made cn the fact that the management made no effort to give the alarm to its guests, and it was only by luck that things came out as well as they did.” The fire lasted about two hours. The covered porches, which connected the pavilion and Clifton houses witli the Windsor, were torn down and both buildings were saved. The only water at hand was that obtained by means of small hose used for sprinkling the lawn. A building known as the club, which was only a short distance from the Windsor, was also burned. It was stored with dressed lumber. The origin of the fire is supposed to be incendiary, as there had been no fire in the dining room for tw r o weeks. The guests spent the remainder of the night at West Baden Springs and at Well's Hotel. Some of them did not go to bed at all. The hotel contained 175 rooms and had a capacity of about eight hundred guests. A dispatch from Louisville says: The stock of (he French Lick Springs Company is owned almost exclusively by Louisville people. The president is Mr. Samuel Ouerbacker, of the Ouerbacker-Gilmore Company. The vice president is Mr. W. S. Wymond, of the Cness-Wymond Company, and the secretary and treasurer, Mr. John C. Howard. The stockholders are Messrs. W. W. Thompson. D. W. Sperry, E. H. Bowen, W. H. May, George Ouerbacker, John Ouerbacker, J. M. Fetter, W. W. Compton, Stuart R. Knott, Lee Bloom, Will Gaulbert, John Doerhoefer and Mrs. Samuel Ouerbacker, of Louisville; Messrs. James Duffy and George Pfau, of Jeffersonville, and Mr. George Overton, of Memphis. Mr. Ouerbacker said this morning that the total Insurance on all the buildings was about $45,000. He did not know how much of this was placed on the Windsor. He said that there was no suspicion of incendiarism in the origin of the fire. INDIANA OBITUARY. Otlinicl Beeson, Formerly Well Known In tlie State. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

MUNCIB, Ind., Oct. 11.—Muncie will send more than tw T enty delegates to the annual meeting of the State Federation of Labor at Marion to-morrow, and the indications are that there will be more than two hundred delegates present to consider the important points that will probably be discussed. For some time there has been a strong inclination among the local labor unions to right the wrong impression that has been formed by connecting the name of Chairman George F. McCulloch, of the Republican state central committee, with the management of the nonunion Whiteley Malleable Castings Company, of this city. The report was circulated broadcast witli a view of picturing the head of the committee as antagonistic to the cause of organized labor. The facts are that Mr. McCulloch owns no stock in the company, much less having a voice in its management, and the reason that his name appears as a member of the board of directors was for a personal reason and to fill out the board. Mr. McCulloch is at the head of the Muncie Electric Street-railway Company, and the employes of this company have long since had one of the strongest labor unions in the city, and will have representatives at the meeting tomorrow. Very likely a set of resolutions indorsing Mr. McCulloch will be adopted, as there is a disposition among the local men selected to have such a step taken. Federation Programme.

Tracy, former secretary of the navy, and candidate for the office of mayor of Greater New York, w’as the leading orator at the first Republican mass meeting held in Brooklyn at the Academy of Music on Montague street to-night. There was a large attendance. General Tracy, as he rose to deliver his address, was me recipient of applause which lasted several minutes. Mr. Tracy referred to Tammany Hall and Bryanism as the chief opposing forces of the Republicans in this campaign. He referred to Henry George as a candidate on the platform of Bryanism. There was still another party which had made its appearance as a separate and independent party for the iirst time in its history—the party known as the Citizens’ Union, of which Mr.. Low was leader. Mr. Tracy devoted his time to the discussion of the Citizens’ Union, and, among other things, he said: “The success of the Citizens’ Union here is the destruction of the Republican party. If Mr, Low is elected, of course all the influence of that great office will be used to itTsist on a citizens’ government at every municipal election. The Republican party will be called upon to disband, to disintegrate, to dissolve ourselves into our individual capacities and to act as individuals. We will not be permitted to act as an organization.’’ Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, was the next speaker. He closed by saying: “There will be no more Republican Presidents of the United States m your life or mine, may be, unless you elect Benjamin F. Tracy. Tnis is no local issue; it may, and it will, affect the political control of this country for years to come. It will make the work of the Republican party harder in every campaign, it may once more retire to the outcome of uncertainty and doubt the great business, industrial and commercial interests of this country.” Paul Goebel has been selected to succeed Richard H. Adams as the Citizens’ Union nominee for register. Mr. Goebel is a lawyer, is president of the Liederkranz. a member of the German Reform Union and a member of the Citizens’ Union organization committee. Henry George’s Principles. LONDON, Oct. 12.—The Daily Chronicle publishes this morning an interview which its New York correspondent has had with Henry George, in the course of which Mr. George is represented as saying: “I refused to be a candidate until the Democratic nomination showed that it was to be a perpetuation of Crokerism. Then I consented solely as a matter of duty. I am a Democrat in the fullest sense of the word; am absolutely a free trader, because protection is incompatible with a genuine republic, and 1 want to see the government return to iirst principles, I am in favor of scrupulously preserving the rights of property. My followers support me simply as an expression of their uissatisfaction with the existing condition of things. The Bryanites support me not on account of silver, but because Mr. Bryan hits advocated a return to iirst principles. I am no more an advoacte of silver than of gold. Both are relics of barbarism. I am a greenback,: r. I do not believe in government issuing unlimited money. Money should be issued on the credit of government, which is all that is necessary to assure safety and ability. I believe 1 shall be elected, but defeat would not cause me a single pang. In that event 1 shall return to my literary work.”

A dog’s resigned and pathetic expression in the bath is a study for artists. After trying to sneak down the back stairs* and being captured and shut in the bathroom he gives up like a good boy and hops into his own special tub, where many a scrubbing has been undergone. He sits on his pathetic tail and his wet curls cling to his sides. One foot after the other is delivered to the spoiler with customary obedience; his sober, pleading eyes lifted through streams of suds. It is as if he said; “I will endure this because you think it best, and also because a certain comfort results from it which the unwashed dogs I meet upon the pavement do not enjoy. But O! if you have any compassion, rinse me off quickly, and dry me and let me out, where I can roll and bark!” A painter desiring the best model of resignation will do well to take a decently groomed and trained dog in his bath.

NEAL DOW AND HIS LAW. The Last Interview with the Advocate of Prohibition. Boston Letter in New York Sun. What was probably the last interview’ bcDow and a newspaper occurred last summer. Until now nothing has been printed about it. General Dow was confined to the house, and, indeed, falmost to his bed from then until the day of his death. The prohibition of the sale i manufacture of intoxicating liquors had advocated by him for forty-seven years he looked back on what he and his Cw ljutors had done with feelings of satisfaction, limited only by the reflection that the sale of liquor has not been entirely stopped in the State of Maine. General Dow said that there would not. be a drop of liquor made or sold in this country if the church members did their duty and voted against the traffic as strongly as they talked against it. A year or two ago he created a sensation at a Methodist camp meeting ir Massachusetts by declaring that it was tha church people of this country who were responsible for a continuance of the liquor traffic rather than the men engaged in it. “If all the church members,” he said, “would vote and work for prohibition, the liquor business would be driven out of existence: but this they will not do, and they continue to vote w r ith either the Republican or the Democratic party, and as the managers of both these parties are irretrievably pledged to encourage the liquor interests as a matter of political necessity, there is nothing to be hoped for in either of these directions.” For the reason that the church people will not cut loose from the old parties and vote as their convictions indicated, he said, he did not hold membership in any church organization and would not, so long as the church members professed to be Against the liquor traffic and at the same time voted to continue it. When General Dow was asked if he knew' that liquor was ueing sold openly right in his own city of Portland, he said regretfully: “Yes, I know it, but I think the evil has been reduced to the minimum, and it is not the fault of the officers of the law or the law itself that it is permitted. In spite of all that has been said to the contrary, the prohibitory law of Maine is a success; but it is not perfect.” Then he went on to relate how he first became interested in the prohibition movement. In 1850, when he was mayor of Portland, he had a neighbor who was employed by the government in a lucrative office. The man had a large family, and, in the main, was a good provider, but was addicted to going off on long-continued sprees, during which he would neglect both his business and his family. Finally the man was about to lose his office, and his wife came to General Dow and told him that she had been to the saloon keepers to ask them not to sell her husband any more liquor, and that the principal offender had refused to stop selling to him. General Daw agreed to see the saloon keeper and ask him if he would not reconsider his decision. “This man,” said General Dow, “treated me with scant courtesy. He said that he paid his money to the city for the privilege of selling liquor, and that he w’ould continue to sell it to the man under consideration as long as he had money to pay for it- It made no difference to him, he said, what became of the man’s family; that part of it was none of his business. I told him that if it were possible I would stop the sale of liquor in the State of Maine, not only by him, but by everybody else, and I started out right there and then to do it. “I began making temperance speeches, and I not only made them at home, here in Portland, but I drove all through the State addressing the people on the subject and getting recruits to aid me in the crusade. By the following year, 1851, we had aroused such a public feeling on the matter in the State that two days before the Legislature adjourned we went to Augusta with a prohibitory bill and got it passed by both branches. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 15 to 10 and the House by a vote of 86 to 40. I did not relax my efforts in the matter, and although many attempts were made to have the law repealed they were thw r arted, and in 1883, after the people had had nearly thirty-three years of prohibitory law, they were in j state of mind to vote for a prohibitory amendment to the State Constitution, and they carried it by a majority of 47,075. In ' 1803 some people here thought that the law had become so unsavory that the amendment to the Constitution could be repealed, and the Democrats adopted a liquor policy in 'the state election. This election was for the purpose of choosing thirty-one senators and 151 representatives to the State Legislature. The Democrats failed to elect a single senator and succeeded in electing but five representatives. “Before the prohibitory law was enacted in 1851 there were thi.'ty-five distilleries in Maine, and of these two were located in Portland. Now' there is not a distillery or a brewery in the entire State. Such liquor as comes into the State has to be smuggled in. It is not too much to say that not onehundredth as much liquor is sold in the State of Maine as there was before the prohibitory law w'ent into effect and this, too, with a largely increased population. The law’is defective in many ways, for when a man is convicted of selling liquor the judges have considerable latitude in imposing sentence, and no dcubt there are some judges on the bench who have been elected by the liquor influence for the very purpose of inflicting light fines or suspending sentences. As 1 drew the original law. the judges had no discretion in the matter, but were obliged to sentence a convicted rumseller to both fine and imprisonment. Before the prohibitory law went into effect the State of Maine was the poort-st State In the. Union. Wo now' have over 800.000 population, and although as regards population Ohio and Illinois are over five times as large as we are, we have twice as many savings banks as these two States, and if the money in the savings banks in all three of the States was to be divided pro rata, each person in Ohio would reeeiv'o $6, in Illinois sx, while in Maine he would receive about S9O. Prohibition is winning all the time and the outlook in this State is most hopeful.”

MME. RGCAMIER. Tlie Woman Who ('hnrmetl Three Generations of Paris. Paris Letter in Courrier des Etat Unis. There has been recently sold at the Hotel Drouot, in Paris, a Louis XIV mantelpiece in white marble, ornamented with gilded bronzes, the memory of which awakens in the mind a whole epoch. This relic came from the salon of Mine. Recamier. the beautiful woman who gathered around her tho elite of three generations of Parisians, and at the recent sale was purchased by an amateur for 5,00 b francs. Mme. Recamier. the divine Juliet, had just married M. Recamier an opulent banker of twice her age, who looked upon tier rather as his daughter than his wife Her intelligence and her beauty rendered her doubly celebrated. Every one -elicited the honor of being presented to her. Her salon was crowded by the literary aristocracy of birth and talent. M. Recamier. who had realized enormous sums through his financial operations, had just acquired the hotel of M. Neeker, situated in the Rue Mont Blanc. He had this property so enlarg' and and embellished as to make it a dwelling worthy of her who was to inhabit it. All the furniture, even to tht last armchair, was designed and executed expressly for the purpose. The Hotel of the Rue Mont Blanc soon became the center of fashion and intelligence. Fete succeeded fete. Mme. Recamier. radiant as a spring morning, received her friends and guests with incomparable grace. Her salon was a kind of neutral ground where mm of all parties met, mingled In the same admiration. There were the Prince Luelen Bonaparte. General Bernadotte, Adrian and Mathew de Montmorency, the philosopher Ballanche and Camille Jordan, who, like many others, paid assiduous court to Mme.

Recamier, and to whom she said: "Ballauche pleases me by drawing out all the good there is in me. and you please me for just the opposite reason. There was also to be seen Mine. De Stuel, the Princess Uaroline Bonaparte, afterwards the Queen of Naples; Alexander von Humboldt. David and Angers, Eugene Delacroix. General Moreau, etc. This epoch of splendor, however, was not of long duration. M. Recamier, through unfortunate speculations, lost almost tha w hole of his fortune. Mine. Recamier was obliged to sell her hotel, her lands, her burses, even her silver. She took a little apartment in the Rue Basse du Rein part, where, as in the past, her admirers crowded about her. It was at this time that she became acquainted with the man upon whom she exerted the greatest influence—that is to say, Chateaubriand, whom she met for the first time at ttie deathbed of Mme. De Staeb Fresh financial disasters having overtaken her husband. Mme. Recamier sought refuge in the Abbaye aux Bois. where her salon became more celebrated than ever. The Abbaye aux Beta was the home of a religious community, situated in the Rue de Savres at the angle or the Rue de la Chaise. During the somber days of the revolution tiiis property had served as a prison. Under the restoration the nuns of the'community had made it a refuge for women of the w'orld, who withdrew there to taste the pleasures of solitude without at tire same time renounenig those of society. it was while paying a visit to an old friend, the Baroness of Bourgoing, whose husband had been embassador to Madrid, that Mme Recamier conceived the idea of taking up her residence in this peaceful habitation. She was then in the radiance of beauty. When she presented herself at the abbaye there was nothing vacant but a little apartment In the fourth story, inconveniently situated and accessible oniy by a rough staircase. She did not hesitate, however, to take possession of it. The author of "The Genius of Christianity.” who came there every day, has left the following description of it: “The bedroom was ornamented with a bookcase, a harp and a v iw of Coppet by moonlight. Upon the window sill were pots of flowers. When, quite out of breath after having climbed the three flights of stairs, f entered her cell towards evening. I was enchanted. “The windows looked out upon the gardens of the abbaye. where the nuns and their pupils wandered at pleasure. The highest branches of an acacia were on a line with the eye; pointed bell towers cut the sky, and on ihe horizon were seen the hills of Sevres. The setting sun gilded the picture and entered at the open windows. Silence and solitude reigned in the distance above the noise and tumult of a great city.” The Abbaye aux Hois was little known at that time. As soon as Mme. Recamier was installed there, however, the way to her retreat was quickly learned. Upon the death of the Marquise of Mqntmairail, w-ho occupied the large apartment of the first story, the latter was taken possession of by Mme. Recamier. The nuns of the abbaye ceded to her for life the right to this apartment. There she was more commodiously lodged, and Ir was possible for her to surround herself with objects that would recall her princely existence of other days. The friends of former times rushed to see her. and others joined them. All the most noted Parisians defiled through the salons of the Abbaye aux Bois. There w'ere to be seen Sainte Beuve, Jules Ampere, Merimee, Lamartine, Victor Hugo, the Due de Noailles, the poet Lebrun, etc. It was rhere that Lamartine read, before publishing them, his “Meditations.” Victor Hugo, who had just left college, was there consecrated poet by Chateaubriand himself. “She never held such a- place in the world,” says Sainte Beuve, “as when she lived in this humble retreat at one end of Paris. It was there that her gentle genius, disengaged from too vehement complications, made itself more and more felt. It may be said that she perfected the art of friendship and caused it to take on new charms. This lovely woman was gracious and captivating, even in her old age. The day she comprehended that her beauty was waning, because the little chimney sweeps no longer turned to look upon her w'hen she passed, she determined to consecrate the remaining years of her life to the duties of religion and to the cultivation of friendship." a story that would seldom be told if women would but properly prepare themselves for the duties of motherhood. If a woman will take the right care of the organs that make motherhood possible, approaching maternity will have no fears for her. Nature intended that all women should bear children, and did not mean that this duty should be a cruel torture. Woman’s owrt ignorance and neglect have made it so. All weakness and disease of woman’s reproductive organism are cured by Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It acts directly upon these organs. It makes them strong and healthy. It prepares them for approaching maternity. It allays the discomforts of the expectant period. It makes baby’s coming easy and comparatively painless, and insures the health of the child. All good druggists sell it. “I have had three miscarriages,” writes Mrs. J. L. Shaffer, of Ncy, Sully Cos., S Dakota. “ Last Spring I received one of your Memorandum Books iti which I found your * Favorite Prescription ’ recommended to prevent it. I took eleven bottles of it and have a bright boy five mouths old, which I owe to God and your medicine.'* What woman does not wish to make her family cares as light as possible, consistent with her family’s well-being? The greatest care of all is the fear of sickness. It is a common saving amongst conscientious mothers: “As long as the children are well, I don’t mind anything else.” For these mothers Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser would prove “The shadow of a great rock in a weary land.” This book of 1,008 pages, profusely illustrated. give 9 plain talks and kindly sensible medical advice. It is peculiarly valuable for mothers of young daughters. More than a half a million copies of this book have been sold for $1.50 each. Now there is an enormous edition to be given awav.
