She claimed he cursed her and beat them, and threatened in her presence to kill them. The next charge ie that he ha3 been guilty of Jadultery with divers women, whose names are unknown to the complainant.

Further than this, says Mrs. Parrish, the defendant holds moneys of hers, amounting to $500. Thirteen and one-half acres of land, which she claims is her own, he eleo holds.

CYCLISTS MUST SIT UPRIGHT.

Washington's Rigid Ordinance Against the Scorcher.

Nearly all the cities of the country now have ordinances for the punishment of the scorching cyclist. Washington, D. C., a paradise for wheelmen, has gone a step further, and has enacted into law a provision against, the very appearance of "scorching."

To "scorch" 'the cyclist must have low handle bars and bend over them with his bafck-bowed and bent to the degree of deformity, says the -New York Journal. A man sfttifag up straight may whiz down a boulevard at the rate of -twenty miles an hour aid not excite the suspicion or invite the interferemce of the bicycle cop.

The bent over scorcher is a nuisance on the cycle paths, a menace to the safety of others and in danger himself of collision, for he cannot see where he is going when in that position.

It is for 'that reason that the commissioners of he District of Columbia have decreed by ordinance as follows: Every bicycle on a public highway shall at all times bounder the control of the rider. Riders of bicycles on public highways must not sit with their heads or bodies bowed down so as to thereby expose themselves or others to hazard or injury. Not more than three persons shall ride abreast on any public highway.

The ordinance in this shape meets with the approval of the best konwn cyclists, who have ever sought to suppress the "scorchers," and physicians hail the measure as one that,»if enforced, will prove beneficial to the riders who are blind to the injuries they are working themselves.

Dr. Y. E. Allison, who is an enthusiastic cyclist, saysc: "The practice of stopping over the handle bars .defeats entirely the beneficial effects of the riding, for it compresses the lungs depriving them of the opportunity to expand and take in the fresh air. Then the abdomen is compressed into & bunoh which can only be hurtful. The strain on the bacbone As constant, abnormal and injurious, the muscles are at high tension, the eartlleges between the vertebrae are 'too compressed and permanent injury may result from persistency in the practice. The heart is also affected and its operations are circumscribed. "The effect of curving the spine is to impair the circulation in the spinal column by compressing the blood vessels, and iu a •crofukis patient might easily bring on spinal disease I think the rule adopted by the District Commissioners of Washington is & vary wise one, and hope it will be enforced. It cannot fail to be beneficial, preventing 'the turniug of a healthy exercise'to one which may be very deleterious to the health of the cyclist "The action-of the Washington commissioners has revived arecurring question regarding the .position assumed by bicyele riders. The change in sentiment among wheelmen in the matter of the shape of handle bars has been decided during the past, year. Th,e majority of the racing men now use the upturned bar when riding on the road, and are gradually assuming a more erect position even on the track. The effect of £h change is seen among the younger riders. They are gradually forsaking the exaggerated stoop.

Committee.

Some Boys antl a Dog.

W. A. Matern, chef of the New Filbeck, had William Horseley arrested yesterday for assault and battery upon his colored servant, Arthur Covington. The defendant was a boy of about 14, about the age of the negro he was alleged to have beaten. Covington, it seems, was set upon by the defendant and two others and kicked and beaten. The trial took place in the afternoon and resulted in the dismissal of the case. The evidence was very conflicting and the important witnesses left the path laid out by their interlocuters to discuss extraneous Subjects. Chief among the latter was a 'dog, the merits of which the one Praised and the other derided.

Itmi Away With a Team

Albert'Stump of this city has got himself into trouble]" He hired a rig of City Marshal Lou'derhaclc at Brazil Sunday and brought it over to Terre Haute.

The horse and buggy were left with De Baun, the liveryman, for a time.

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE

ANNUAL SESSION Uf VIQO COUNTY'S INSTRUCTORS OPENED IKSTKWIA*.

More Than 3Q0 Teachers Were Present When the Convention Opened Yesterday Morning.

The instructors of the youthful mind in Vigo county are in annual session at the Indiana State Normal building this week. The opening session. was held yesterday, and in points of attendance and interest it wa3 one of the most successful days 'in the history of the teachers' association. There were 217 teachers in the hall when the choir sang, "Come Thou Mighty King." After scriptural reading by the Rev. I|r. Dunn, of Mont Rose church, and the signing of "America," t{ie regular programme prepared, was taken up. The instructors at the institute are E. W. Bohanxian, Student Olark university, Worcester, Mass Mrs. A. Kate Gilbert, instructor, Southern Indiana. -Normal college, Alitcneii, lncl. William H. YVuey, superintendent schools, Terre Haute, Inu.

The first top.o on the programme was the "Methods of Child stu-jy," by 13. W. iiohannan, who endeavored to show the value of child stuay to teachers and ine ways in which chlluren have been studied, viz.: (1) Undirected, unsystemat.c observation 2) -Systematic general ooservation (3) reminiscences (.4) personal journals ani letters (v) literature ana art (W direct study (biographical). Profesora Bohannon said that the inheritance of past tendencies must be taken into consideration by teachers. Many of the old leaders in edueaiionai thought have left us valuable thoughts. Good ideas may" yet be gained rrom "Oomenius" and from PestaiOMi's Leonard and Gertrude. However, Pestalozzi was a decided failure in the school room as was also Kosseau.

In studying the mind, he said, the question comes up to what mind should be studied, that is whether it should ue the a^lult mind, or the mind of the immature. But the best results are obtained by studying the mind of the individual from birth to old age and in that way seeing the changes and the growth. Jbrofessor Bohannon, taking up the question of child study literature, said that there were a number of scientific works which teachers should read. He named several of them, and in doing .so pointed out many of the good points to be found therein. He called particular attention to the government education reports. "School (Management," was the subject of Mrs. Kate Gilbert's talk. She said in part: "We must have a high ideal for the nation, community and individual, though we know we can not obtain it. "What is the government? We say there, are different departments of the govern-' ment. We find that in every department are men from the states, the cities, the smaller towns and rural districts. In the president's room we find a man who came from a certain place. And that Is why the teacher should have in mind the perfect citizen, the ideal state. "The laws are the result of the sentiment of communities and in order to have this perfect government we must have perfect in the minds and lives of every boy and girl in the school the idea that 'whatsoever ye would that others shou:ci unto you do ye even so unto them.' This should be a rule to do away with the selfishness that causes the evils and disturbances in our country. However, we dare not be utterly" unselfish. There should be a certain selfish! unselfishness in guarding ourselves. "In the formation of the citizens we must? consider several factors. We have the home in Which the education should look toward the home which is to be. The teacher cannot influence the home training, but we must consider the result of the home training of the rhildren. The teacher's province is made up of children from twenty to thirty homes. "Next after the home is the street influence You may call that society. It is the same thing which the teacher can scarcely touch. The little child has its own society. Then there is the business world which controls so very much the things of life. Then the Sunday school should probably have been named after the home as a factor. Then there is the church and the various parts of the general government." ..

Professor W. IT. Wiley, princip.e or the city schools, spoke at considerable length on the subject of "Law in the School." He said in part: "Law as a rule established by authority able to enforce its Will. This is a broad definition. The state, school and community all have laws. Law reaches down even to two persons. In order to make law of effect a penalty must be attached. Sometimes the penalty is fine, imprisonment or personal punishment. There should be uniformity in the penalty and also certainty in its execution. Law must be adapted to the persons to be governed. The will of the people should be embodied in laws. As peonle advanoe laws and penalties are changed through growth. We see frequently laws passed in good faith that soon become dead letters. In our own city we have many laws that are a dead letter because they do not meet our reauirement. or at least people whose] duties it is to enforce them do not think, thev meet our requirements. ,s "The tendency is toward a multipiican tion of laws. We come to an idea. that laws will cure by the evils. That is onq great reason why many laws are voi3. Soj we ought to stop and think whether.iaws cures. Herbert Spencer says there are some evils which no law can reach. Each new law is a kind of class legislation.

TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS. TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 7.1897.

For Instance we pass an ordinance covering the entire city. Then we pass an ornance affecting only a part of the city and that is a species of class legislation, suppose, for illustration, the council passes an ordinance requiring the street south of us be paved in a certain way and paid for by ,„the people living on the street, while the rest of us by another law have the use of the street. I do not say It is unjust but it iJlustrates the point. "Law i»n not govern. It may restrain.

It is the person behind the law who makes it effective. He is the person who finally governs. He should make t^o law bear equally as possible on ail persons. There are many times legislatures too willing to throw responsibility upon others. Then there are executives aso who try It. We aso have a movement trying to throw the responsibiity upon the department of justice. There are thousands and thousands 'of cases pushed to the courts that should never come near them. "There should be some place to begin learning obedience to law and that place 'Is in school. The children should -be taught a system of obedience to a certain line of habits which wifl fie them for their place in the community.

Just prior to the close of the afternoon's work Professor Bohannon spoke on the isubject of "Results of Investigations of Child Study." He was fcClowed by Mrs. Gilbert, who talked for half an hour on "Arithmetic." During the afternoon there was a resolution introduced and adopted that the institute send a floral offering to the residence of Miss Idella Davis. Frank Casey, Jennie Alison and Fred Ogle were appointed a committee to draft resolutions on the death of the popular young teacher.

A short intermission in tne regular programme was filled in with a decJamatkm. rendered in pleasing style, by "Master Walter Wiilison. He gave' "The Ride of Jennie McNiel."

STAfB CLAIMS TO SHOW IT IN LOVB LETTSRS FROM A. L. LCKTGEKT.

band Collapses.5

§4

Chicago, Sept. 6.—The Times-Herald of Sunday gives the following review of Saturday's proceedings in the Luetgert trial. Love letters penned in jail by Adolph L. Luctgert are produced in court by the woman to whom they were written—IMJrs. Christina Fcldt. The state triumphantly places her on the witness stand and claims to have proved by her testimony and the letters that tihe accused man had a motive for committing the crime charged.

Luetgert collapses as Mrs. Feldt strikes the hardest blow the defense has received and his lawyers are visibly agitated. This woman had been counted a3 the sausagemaker's surest ally, and their intimate relations were reckoned on to keep her on the side of the defense. How the state caused (her to desert her old friend and almost crush him is unexplained.

Mr. Luetgert said: "I am having a great deal of trouble in my factory. When that is over I will settle with my wife. I cannot live any longer with my wife. I will not live with that carcass any more. If my wife does not behave I will send Mary to the office aud make a place for her there." He told me that whenever h« wanted to make ihis wife mad he mentioned my name. He sent for me and I went to see him iu the jail. While there he told me that if I went back on him he would kill himself. I saw him at his home on May 5. While there I asked Mary Simmering where 'Mrs. Luetgert was, and she said Chat she was downtown making some purchases. I told Luetgert that she ought not to lie that way.—From the testimony of iMrs. Christine Feldt. .•

When I entered our front gate I saw Mr. Luetgert and his wife. They walked past the office of the factory and came back again. Then they went down the street leading to uheir home, and when they got to the alley back of the factory they entered it. I watched them go down the alley till I could see them no longer. I think it was about o'clock. It was on the night of May 1.—From the testimony of Gottiieba Schimpke.

I had those rings on wheu I had my picture taken nine years ago. Yes, they are t)he same rings. They belonged to U£rs. Luetgert.—From the testimony of Mr3. Anna Grieser.

The strongest blow of the week was given the defense yesterday in the Luetgert trial. Mrs. Christine Feldt, in whom the state at first expected to find the motive for the alleged crime, took the stand for the prosecution and furnished the most sensational episode of the hearing.

Sthe related declarations made by the defendant which tendtd strongly to show that he purposed doing violence to his wife as soon as his business troubles were over and settled.

She produced letters which he had written to her while iri jail. They contained expressions of love, devotion and vows of fidelity. They informed fhe woman that if she would stand by Luetgert he would go away with her When the trouble was over and they would ever after be happy in each other's company.

Luetgert was placed in the strong light of a lover who was waiting to gain his freedom to join the. woman with, whom he was infatuated. "Dear precious Christine* his letters were addressed.

HAD A REMARKABLE EFFECT. Their effect upon the jury was remarkable.

Here was a man charged, with the murder of his wife posing as the lover of another woman and writing her letters which showed dhat their relations dated far "back of the alleged crime.

Luetgert trusted the wealthy widow. He expected that she would furnish him the money to pay for his defense, and when he had gained his freedom they would be happy together.

How the state induced the woman to desert the man who felt that he had the right to send her such letters did not appear. Until recently she was considered the strongest and stanohest friend the defendant had. It even had been hinted that she was cognizant of' the pausagerinaker's guilt. It was known that she had been forbidden the house by the wife of the defendant. It was also known that she had supplied him with money while in jail and •had lent him money before his trouble

OBJECT OF THE WOMAN. It was the original purpose of the state to make Christine Feldt the motive for the crime. There was evidence to warrant this. The woman realized the position in which she had been placed by T.uetgert and determined to place herself right before the public.

If revenge played any part In her-de-termination, if fear Of the consequences had anything to dp with it. if the discovery that Luetgert had other loves thin her. had its influence, !t matters little. The fact remains "that she deserted the man

HIS EFFORT A FAILURE. His effort to appear unconcerned was painful. Slowly the great drops of perspiration came upon his foreCiead and trickled down hris wrinkled face and ran down his huge neck. •At last he gave ud the attempt. The gaper was thrown aside, ahd the defendant fixed his eyes spon the witness. He did not know what she would say. He expected much. The fear-that showed in his face was intense., lie tried to laugh, and it was a hollow shame. Then lie sank deep down in his chair and. diligently wiped from his face the perspiration that was coursing down it. The blow had struck home, and Luetgert was wounded in a tender spot.

In vain the defendant tried to appear not tn listen to the testimony. As the witness proceeded the face of the accused man became aifaen and the wrinkles deepened. His attitude must have produced as decided an effect upon the jury as did the tes* timony cf the woman.

Mrs. Feldt gave her testimony In a clear and decided tone. Her words penetrated to the farthest recesses of the room. The tension was at great height. Once th^ defendant protested that the interpreter had not given a correct translation of the answer made by ttie witneess. Juror Harlev gave a translation, and another juror corrected Harley.

LIST OF UNCLAIMED LETTERS

If not oalled for in two weeks they will be sent to the dead letter office. Letters to traveling salesmen or trans-j lent visitors in the city, where special address may be unknown, should be marked in the left hand corner with the word "transient."

who professed to be her lover, and tf ha troes to the yaHowa Christine Fefidt will have helped weave the rope.

When she was called to the stand there was a photographer In the court room and he 4iad asked the defendant to pose so that he could get a good picture of him and the surroundings. With an effort Luetgert did as requested and never looked at the woman as she swept past him. The picture taken he asked for a German newspaper, and tilting back in his seat read or pretended to read it.

When the letters were produced and handed to his-counsel the defendant eargerly seized them and devoured th&r contents. His hands, as he read, trembled, and he threw the telltale missives lightly aside. Straightening up in his chair a.m\ glancing at the jury he said: *"T want those letters to go into tWe evidence."

ROMANCE OR TRAGEDY? Then he settled back in his chair and bravely tried to assume a defiant attitude. Occasionally his broad shouUdefs would give a spasmodic movement The jury gazed first at him and then at the witness. The impression made by both was evident and powerful. The plain reading between the lines or the woman's testimony dis^ closed a romance that might c-nd in terrible tragedy.

Letters addressed to parties najned below have remained in the 1\rre Haute* Post office for the week ending September 7, 1897. Unless called for within the ten days allowed by the postoffice department, they will be forwarded to tho dead letter offlcg at W ashington, D. C.
