The Trouble.

Miss Jolllett —It isn’t true, Mr. Cynicus, that a woman cannot keep a secret.” Cynacus—l’ agree with yon; but the trouble is that she cannot disguise the fact that she is keeping one.—New York Tribune.

Couldn’t Do It.

Mr. Figg—You should not have told Jimmy Briggs he was a liar. Tommy—Yes, paw, but he was a liar. ‘•Probably. But you should have told him he was mistaken.” “And then I would have been a liar.” —lndianapolis Journal. Fire and sword are but slow engines of destruction in comparison with the babbler.—Steele.

Spanish Courtesy.

“Oh, we cannot stand on ceremony ! The world goes too fast for that.” The excuse is the modern apology for that lack of courteous kindness that everybody feels and few people enjoy. Courtesy, however, has not quite died out of the earth. Mr. H. C, Chatfield-Tay-lor, in “The Land of the Castanet,” says that in Spain tru£~ courtesy yet survives. It must be so when Spaniards will go to great pains to pay the smallest attention to a stranger tramping from church to church, and from gallery to gallery to show him the sights, taking him shopping, calling at his hotel twice in a day to offer their services, and doing a thousand things that neither an American nor an Englishman would dream of doing. A Spaniard will send the stranger flowers, take him to drive each day of his visit, and bestow countless little attentions that show a real interest in his welfare, and an earnest desire to please. When he parts from his visitor, the Spaniard will make him feel that he Is losing a friend. The little courtesies of every-day occurrence in Spain contrast forcibly with the offhand manner of more West--ern people; —No oue eulets a Spanish railway carriage without bowing to every occupant, or leaves it except with the same polite acknowledgment. On taking a seat at a hotel table It is customary to salute each of the guests, and it is bad manners in Spain to go into a shop and ask for what you want before you have greeted the shopkeeper. On his part the “God be with you,” or “May all be well with you,” will not be wanting when the wouldbe customer leaves, though he may have failed to make a purchase. It is only in commercial Barcelona that anything comparable to Incivility is apparent, and Barcelona is the home of socialism and anarchy; its society io composed of the class of people the French call bourgeoisie.

Jim and John.

Jim and John were townsmen and ■chums, and went out to see base-ball. It was a red-hot afternoon, and the bleachers were like frying pans at breakfast time. Jim had a bald head and John had a crick in the back. They sat for an underdone roast and laughed at everything. Jim’s bald spot was a shining mark, like a brass dopr-plate. A stray ball, fierce and sharp, from a false bat, struck the spot and ploughed a furrow. It dazed him. Jim’s eyes and face looked like a sick owl’s, and John laughed. He laughed an hour straight along. The game ran late into twilight. Meanwhile, John had shed his coat, aud a cool, damp draft got In its work on his back. The time came to leave, but John couldn’t. He couldn’t bend or get up. Lumbago had set In in its worst form. He laughs best who laughs last, aud Jim had revenge. But they got down town to Jim’s room, when he said; “Here’s something all those athletes use for hurts and ailments, and it’s the best known cure for lame back.” He rubbed it on John’s hack and some on his own head. They were both feeling cured and comfortable from the use of St. Jacobs Oil, which Jim always kept In a handy place. He was a sport himself and knew what was best. They went to bed. John laughed In his sleep. Both rose In the morning fresh as daisies. Then Jim laughed at John.

WILL LAST A MONTH.

CHICAGO’S GREAT MURDER TRIAL DRAGS ALONG. Case of Sansagemaker Lnetgert Is Far from Being; Ended—Bhotgun Quarantine in Texas-Irrigation Congress Meets—Government Report on Crops, End Is Not Near. The beginning of the sixth week of the Luetgert trial in Chicago brought to the court room a large and more heterogeneous crowd than usual. Long before the court room doors were open, men, women and children surged about the main entrance of the criminal court building and made violent efforts to get in. Policemen and court bailiffs on duty at the doors had much difficulty in handling the crowds and admitting those with tickets. The State’s Attorney’s office was overrun by people who importuned Assistant State’s Attorney McEwen for pnsses. State’s Attorney Deneen and Assistant State’s Attorney McEwen avoided the solicitations only by locking themselves in the State’s Attorney’s private office, where they consulted for half an hour with Police Inspector Schaack and Police Captain Sehuottler. Luetgert came into court smoking a cigar and greeted his attorneys and his son, Arnold, pleasantly. The alleged wife murderer seemed to be in an exceptionally pleasant frame of mind and joked and laughed with his son and Wm. Charles, his business partner, until Judge Tuthill appeared upon the bench. Mary Siemering, the servant girl, whose cross-examination was in progress Saturday when court adjourned, was called. Around this witness, according to the theory of the prosecution, the motive for the alleged murder of Mrs. Louise Luetgert centers. Luetgert’s infatuation for his pretty servant girl is claimedby the prosecution to have been the instilling motive to this celebrated crime. When she went on the witness stand to again endure, as she supposed, the cross-examination of State’s Attorney Deneen, Mary Siemering appeared composed and defiant. Her cheeks were flushed, which indicated apparently some mental excitement, but the young woman, it was evident, had made up her mind to control her feelings, and not permit the State’s Attorney to confuse her. His efoss-examination was not severe. “Did you not say before the grand jury that Mrs. Luetgert was a good and kind mother?” asked Mr. McEwen. “I did,” confessed the witness. “Now you say she beat her children and was cross with them?” “When I went to the grand jury room

to testify Inspector Schaack was there, lie told me if I did not say what I did he would punish me," said the witness. The photographs which were identified by witnesses from Kenosha wehe handed to the witness and she identified them. The picture which included Mrs. Luetgert and her two children was taken two years ago, the witness said. Several questions of an impeaching character were asked and Mary Siemering was excused. She left the witness stand with a smile and took a seat within the inclosure and remained to listen to other witnesses. Jacob Melber of Wheaton, 111., testified that on May 0 he saw a woman at the depot in Wheaton at 5 o’clock in the morning whose description resembled that of Mrs. Luetgert. She inquired the way to Elmhurst. Melber is a butcher. He said he saw Mrs. Luetgert once last March. When asked upon cross-examina-tion to describe the missing woman he could not do so and was excused. Charles Boehnke, who had worked for Luetgert for sixteen years, testified that on April 28 he had a brief conversation with Mrs. Luetgert. She seemed much depressed, the witness said, and remarked that “things were going bad in the house.” She said, according to the witness, that she would go to the country and go to work as a servant. “We are about ruined and I will go to the country and work out. I cannot stay here,” the witness said were the words of the apparently distracted woman. “I told her that times were as hard in the country as they were in the city,” said Boehnke, “and advised her not to go.” When Mrs. Augusta Koch, a neighbor of the Luetgerts, who knew Mrs. Luetgert well, was called to the witness stand, Juror William Hurler was called upon to act as interpreter. Mrs. Koch said she had known Mrs. Luetgert for eleven years and had lived near her most of this time. She saw and talked with Mrs. Luetgert the last week in April. Mrs. Luetgert was depressed and talked about going away. She told the witness, according to the statement of the latter, that Luetgert had been swindled by a man who had promised to pay a big sum for an interest in the sausage factory. Luetgert had let the man have a large amount of money and the man had run away. This evidence was in support of the statement of ex-Judge Vincent at the opening of the trial to the effect that a promoter had swindled Luetgert out of $25,000 and that this was the beginning of the troubles of the sausage maker. Other witnesses testified along this line. William Charles, Luetgert’s partner, testified that the caustic soda taken to the basement of the sausage factory in March was brought there for the purpose of cleaning the establishment. Several barrels of tallow and a barrel of chipped bones were emptied into the middle vat to make soft soap, according to the witness. The first of the sealing fleet to return home to Victoria, B. C., the Casco, brought 1,064 skins, taken off the Japan coast and Cooper Islands. She reports that the Calotta, with 1,400 akins, and the Director, with 1,000 skins, are close behind her.

BARRIOS IS HUMBLED.

Guatemalan President Sues Morales for Peace. A private cipher cable dispatch received in San Francisco from Guatemala, when deciphered, reads that the revolutionists have Barrias cornered ahd that the general has been trying to compromise with Morales. He has sent word to the insurgent leader that he is ready to sue for peace. The proper construction to put on the message is that Barrios has probably been compelled to accept terms of surrender from Morales. The members of the Central American colony in New York are horror stricken over the news of the shooting of promi-

nent people on Barrios’ orders. They say that if Barrios is bold and cruel enough to cause the murder of so eminent a man as Aparicio he will not hesitate to carry out wholesale slaughter among the people who oppose him, and the Guatemalans in this vicinity have the greatest fear for the safety of their families and friends at home.

SHOTGUN QUARANTINE RULES

Great Yellow Fever Scares Rage in All Parts of Southern Texas. " The yellow fever fright has struck Texas in earnest. Nearly all of the towns in eastern, central and southern parts of the State have declared shotgun quarantine against Houston. In Brazos County, County Health Officer Tabor has given out orders to the effect that every road entering the county will be closely guarded and no passenger trains will stop

in the county hereafter. There will be no papers or other mails received. The Houston and Texas Central has practically abandoned its train service out of Houston, only one train a day running. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad is running trains through Houston to Galveston, the cars being locked through Houston and nobody permitted to enter or leave the train. Galveston’s quarantine against Houston is absolute. Nothing but telegrams are permitted to pass between the two places. The Board of Health for the State of Louisiana announces the status of affairs in New Orleans as regards yellow fever to be as follows: “During the twenty-four hours ending Tuesday at 9 p; m., there were: Cases of yellow fever, 19; deaths, 2. Total cases of yellow fever to date, 179; total deaths from yellow fever to date, 21.”

Judge Best was there as the representative of the Federal Government to submit a plan of donating all arid lands to the various States in which they are located in return for their reclamation. This will wipe out the account of the Government with the arid lands, and it is said the Government thinks this desirable. W. J. Bryan addressed the delegates on the agricultural situation.

GOOD FOR HARVESTING.

Past Week Ha. Been Too Dry for Fal lowinK and Seeding. The weekly crop bulletin of the Agricultural Department says: Except on the Atlantic coast, where rains have fallen, the week has been exceptionally dry, and upon the whole very favorable for maturing and gathering crops. Like the preceding weeks, however, it has been very unfavorable for the germination of sown grain, as well as for fallowing and seeding, which is much delayed generally throughout the central and western and in some of the Southern States. In Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and Virginia late tobacco has been seriously injured by frosts.

Los Angeles called the convention to order in University Hall, 121 delegates, representing thirteen States, responded to the call for their credentials. Gov. Holcomb delivered an address of welcome, which was followed by the president’s annual address. Among those seated there were: J ames A. Davis, Chicago;
