HONOR TO A HEROINE
Public Appearance of Senora Cibiieros
in New Yorir City
The popular reception to Miss Evange
liue Cosio y Cisneros in Madison Square
New York the other night was an extra
ordinary demonstration Fully 50000
persons probably one third of them well
dressed women crowded Uie upper half of
Madison Square park and filled Broadway
and FifUi avenue and waited patiently for
Uie congratulatory speeches to lie finished
and the Cuban heroine to appear
J Lincoln De Zayas was speaking when
a carriage containing Miw Cosio and Carl
Decker her rescuer appeared at the
stand Attired in white satin and envel
oped in a htre fur caped cloak the Cuban
girl mounted the na low steps to the plat
form bowing and smiling to the people
Once on the platform Mr Decker led his
charge down the aisle between Uie musi
cians to the front of the platform Miss
Cosio Cisneros appearance was Uie sig
nal for a tremendous demonstration by
Uie crowd which stretched out for 100
yards before her The men yelled and
waved their hats the women waved their
handkerchiefs and the band played a Cu-
ban bntUe song WiUi a bouquet in her
right hand and a pleased but diffident ex
pression on her face Miss Cisneros bowed
to her audience and then turned to Mr
Decker indicating that she wanted him
to understand that the applause was as
much for him is for her
For several moments the two stood
forth while the cheering continued Then
Miss Cisneros was led back to the rear of
the platform where she bowed and smiled
to the crowd on Uiat side of the platform
Then she descended the steps to the car
riage which was driven around the square
and back to Delmonicos and the recep
tion was continued Previous to the
A 4
pea ranee of Miss Cisneros on the plat
form there were a number of short
speeches interspersed with selections by
the band Murat Halsted was chairman
and Introduced the speakers United
States Senator Thurston of Nebraska was
the first speaker He was very hoarse
and could be heaid for only a few feet
away from the stand Senator Thurston
said it was the duty of our Government
to grant belligerency to Uie Cubans
If 1 had my way said he not only
would the belligerency of Cuba be recog
nized but I would send a battleship to
anchor in Havana harbor in order to in
spire with hope and courage thoe who are
struggling for freedom

speaker and he was followed by Doctor
De Zayas who was the chosen represent
ative of the Cuban colony in New York

DEATH OF HENRY GEOFGE
NMcd Apostle of Single Tax Succiiuiln
to Apoplexy
Henry George the apostle of single tax
died suddenly at o oclock Friday morning
n his room at the Union Square Hotel
New York City Apoplexy was the cause
Mr George made four speeches Thursday
night in his campaign as candidate for
Mayor of Greater New York and was
very fatigued when he reUred It is be
lieved the sudden attack that raided his
life was brought on by the unusually se
vere strain occasioned by his speech-making
Henry George was Uie mayoralty can
didate of the silver Democrats of Greater
New York He had made up to Uie night
before his death a red hot campaign in
which he promised if elected to do hi
best to send Richard Croker to the peni
tentiary To his denunciations of Croker
ae added denunciations of Senator Thorn
is C Piatt He had entered the contest
with great earnestness and his campaign
speeches throughout were marked with
IIEXIiY GEOKGi
reat fervor and earnestness His ex
haustive labors are thought to have led
lirectly to his death
Henry George was born in Philadelphia
dii Sept 2 1S39 and as a boy went to
California He drifted into journalism
n San Francisco and attained some celeb
rity as a writer on political theories In
IS79 he published Progress and Poverty
tvhich acquired a world wide reputation
u it he gave Uie result of liis investiga
tions among the poor of the great cities
and his theories for reform About the
same time he first expressed his plan of
taxing property on a single value Uiat is
taxing the land itself and not the im
provements thereon This was the origin
Df Uie single tax doctrine
In 1SS0 he removed to New York The
following year he published a volume on
Ireland and England His publications
3f various theories on political economy
made him one of the best known men in
the country In 1SSG he was the candi
date of the laboring element for Mayor
3f New York but was defeated by Abram
S Hewitt by 22000 votes He led Theo
dore Roosevelt the Republican nominee
by S000 votes Ever since then Mr

The Luetgert Trial
The Luetgert jury wisely refused to es
tablish a precedent for hanging men on
expert testimony Milwaukee Sentinel
Mr Luetgerts lawyers will probaly be
magnanimous enough to refrain from in
stigating proceedings against the court
and prosecution officers New York Jour
nal
TlO disagreement of the jury was an
outcome of this sensational case
The evidence was altogether too circum
stantial to make an easy finding possible
Boston Herald
7ho Luetgert trial should be a warning
le t its laxity and irregularities are fol
lowed in other cases until the administra
tion of justice in the United States shall
fall into utter contempt Boston Tran
script
There has never been a more conspicu
ous and disgusting exhibition of judicial
unfitness and professional triviality in the
United States than the Luetgert trial and
that is saying a great deal Indianapolis
JouniaJ
The failure of the jury in the Luetgert
murder ease to find a verdict is not sur
prising to anybody in this part of the
country There is actually matter for
surprise that an acquittal was not en
tered New Orleans Picayune
The result is only a repetition of the
experience that the courts in all countries
and particularly in the United States
have had where expert testimony is intro
duced to establish the prosecution or sup
port the defense Philadelphia Times
At prc ent whatever may be the instinc
tive feeling regarding the guilt or inno
cence of the big sausage maker impartial
judgment can hardly be otherwise than
that his guilt was not proven beyond the
shadow of a reasonable doubt Cleveland
Plain Dealer
In the looseness of proceeding the lack
of intelligent and strict direction of the
work and the haphazard method of secur
ing expert testimony the Luetgert trial
gave peculiar emphasis to Uie faults of
practice in criminal trials St Louis
Post Dispatch
The result of the Luetgert trial is what
was generally expected In a case of this
kind men hesitate a long while before
sending one of their fellows to the gal
lows on purely circumstantial evidence
supported wholly by expert testimony Uiat
the layman cannot understand St Louis
Republic
The three dissenting jurors are not with
out justification for their action In Uie
absence of positive proof that Mrs Luet
gert was really killed it s cems to us un
necessary to advance any discreditable
theory of their pertinacious refusal to con
demn Luetgert to the gollows Roches

quests to Charitable Institutions
The will of the late George M Pullman

Islands in the St Lawrence river is given

with the furniture for life
The eighth provision is as follows In
as much as neither of my sons has de
veloped such a sense of responsibility as
in my judgment is requisite to the wise
use of large properties and considerable
sums of money I am painfully compelled
as I have explicitly stated to them to limit
my testamentary provisions for their ben
efit to trusts producing only such income
as I have deemed reasonable for their
support Accordingly the bonds and oth
pr securities set aside yield each an an
nual income of 3000
