NEW YORK. Oct. 18. - Charles A. Dana, editor of The Sun, died at hip home on Long Island from cirrhosis of the liver. His family and physicians were at his bedside when the end came. CHARL:Es A. DANA. On June 10 he was taken ill and never afterwards visited "New York. George William Curtis used to say that if there had been no such thing as journalism in existence Ch aries A. Dang would have created the business of gathering news and selling it and com menting upon it in such a manner as to attract attention. Of all the men who have gained fame and fortnue by news paper work, Mr. Curtis believed that Mr.- Dan was the best equipped for such enterprise both y native ability and acquired endowments. Greatest Amnerician Journalist. Although -Mr. James Gordon Bennett will probably maintain so long as jour talism lasts the fame he won as the founder of a modern American journal ism, and although Horace Greeley will stand pre-emicent as the political jour nalist, and H nry J. Raymond as the politician journalist, it is probable that the traditions of journalism as they shall be told in the future, will point to Mr. Dana as the greatest of American journalists. He was born at Hinsdale, N. H. on Aug. S, 1819, and when he was 16 years of age he entered Harvard college, im mediately giving evidence that he pos sessed unusual mental gifts. But he was obliged to give up his college course. Soon after Mr. Dana thought of a shmercantile career, and he went to But talo. then a thriving villae, where with a relative he sold goods over the counter. A short experience was suffi cient to satisfy him that his calling was dnot in trade. Anions to put himself in touch with the world, Mr. Dana went to Europe. He had already learned to read French and to speak it fairly well. Ile Spoke French kluently. Frhwith lency, sold aoos overwas cther.

Undomubtedly this work brought Mrf Dana in clos~e relations~ with The Trib une, for sooni after lie accepted an offer from Horace~ Greely to become manag ing editor of that paper. Mr. Dana's connection with The Tribune gave him an intimate acquaint ance with most of the great men of the: Republbean party, and when in 186i, owing to a disagreement with Horace Greeley respecting the attitude of The Tribune upon the conduct of the war, he retired, he was esteemed as one of the infuaertial younger men of the party. Edn ini M. Stanton, the secre tary of war, who knew Mr. Dana well, offered him the post of assistant secre tary of wvar, and he undertook these labors with extraordinary energy. Much of the tune lie was with General Grant in the west. He was several times under fire, showing great coolness and courage. Takes Charge of The sun. After the war Mr. Dana might have accepted several offers to re-enter busi ness life, but the~ :ascinations of journal ism caused him ;o'dechtne every propo sition of that sort made to him. A company was organized to publish a Republican newspaper in Chicago, and Mr. Dana was offered the editorship, and a small interest in it was given to him. At chat time, however, Chicago was not the great metropolitan sity that it is today, and Mr. D~ana found diffi culties of various erts in establishing the paper. He so out his interest, re ceiving therefor some $7,000, and that was the first time in his life that he found himself possessed of any consid erable sum of money. A friend advied him to invest it in a house in New York, which he did, and others of his old time Republican friends, notably Colo: al Fred A. Conklin g, brother of Roscoe Conkling. subscribed a sum spfficient o buy for Mr. Dana the New York Sun, which was to be published as a lowv pricedi R.epubiican newspaper. Mr. Dana took charge on Jan. 1, 1868, the pape: then h avingaout 40,000 cia-. ation. ani :, a ouspicuous career begua with tham:. - - ': the papie. He called about him a c-ompcezen staff, and in less thant. -.' years had in many re opects revolutionized journalistic nmeth ods. Those who knew Mr. Dana well have always zelt that the single limitation of his character was that he could not always control his prejudices. He w:as as stanch and true as steel to his friz: d:, even though others accused scme of them of abusing the friendship, -and lie was also persistent, vehement and, his enemies used to say, malicious in his antagonism.

STATE ATTORNEY DINEEN SPEAKS Ho Defeuds several of the Y.eading Wit. :esse{ For the Pruoecution-Great Crowd In Attenxdance on the Last Day--- Ihe Al. leged Ife Mur.icrer Appare.:ly Iii it Pleasant Frame of Mind. CHIcAGO, Oct. 18.-The ninth week of the famous Luetgert t:iti opened with the greatest crush yet seen at the criminal court building. It was known that this would be the closing day of the great trial and that State's Attor ney Dineen would make a speech. Thousands of persons formed in line before the criminal court building a: early as 7 o'clock in the morning. Luetgert came into court smiling and apparently in a pleasant frame of mind. He shook hands with a number of his friends and took his accustomed seat. State's Attorney Dineen promptly be gan his closing argument. He opened with a defense of several of the leading witnesses for the prosecution. "After four or five days of oratory on the part of Judge Vincent and Attorney Phalen, what have we to answer?" asked State's Attorney Dineen in quick, emphatic style. "Simply ridicule. I shall not waste time answering the assertions of orators who assail the reputations of men of learning who are recognized authorities upon the subjects upon which they were called to testify. State's WItne-ses Defended. "Professor George B. Dorsey, a Har vard professor, who has charge of a de partment of the Field Columbian mu seum, is referred to contemptuously as a bird stuffer. And that is all they say in reply to the evidence of one of the most expert osteologis:s in the country. Professor Bailey. a graduate of Ca i bridge and a man of brilliant attain ments, is dubbed a mechanic; Mrs. Christine Feld, who toli how Luetgert had borrowed money from her and who identified the rings. is designated as the woman with the alabaster neck; Pro fessor Howse is sneeringly referred to as a janitor. This is the mode of arga ment adopted by the defense. Ridicule is usually the weapon of those who have not fact to support their conten tion. Professor Dorsey did not come into this case voluntarily. He was sum moned' by the people of the state of Illinois. And lie was one of the best witnesses among the experts. Profes-or Delafontaine is called an owl by tuo de fense. This mode of attack upon the witnesses for the prosecution pai took of billingsgate in which I shall not in dulge." Tne state's attorney then proceeded with his argument, promising that it wonid be brief. The state's atto said: "There are three ers of vital im portance which are desarving of discus sion in this great trial. First, the theory of soap. Second, the -evidence of the Schrimpke sisters. Third. the mysterious woman at Kenosha. I will take these points as my text, and may also discuss some collateral matters. The theory that Luetgert desired to scrub his factory in order to sell it to a syndicate has been exploded. If it we: e true, why should he desire to make soap at night. "1t has been shown that the sausa e factory had not been in operation for sevr ad months. Luetgerr was~ not busy during the daytime. W y shiould he make soap at night ? It was s iowa that the middle vat in the basement was scrubbed the day before." Ex-Judg.' Vancenat !,nterrupts. "-Hold on, Mr. Dineen, that state mente is incorrec t," in:errupted ex- Judge Vincent. "T'he scrubbing did not occur the day before Mrs Luetger; disap peared, but several days before." "Weli, we will not oiscuss that point further-there are other~thm;;gs to con sider of more importance. But I want to say a word right here with reference to the polhce report. The deese has heaped abuse upon Inspector S-chaac-k ano the policemen who have for months been connected with this case. They have been called perjarers. Gentlemnen. there nre 6.000 cases and more tried in this court each year. and the polite at-e the prosecuting wi~tneses in all of them. Were they perjurers all the time? F& diculous.

Tiiai duy .ispired himu to avenge her death. 1 ha t rested neithcr day nor nigtu. to b'-n' the slyer of his sister to justic. He is deservin~t of praise and not cruoi and: dishonzest crit jsm." State's Attorney Dmnen ne'xt devoted hs attention to time bones found in thme vat. The memnbers of thme jury paid the closest attention to the eloquent spe-ech of the young state's attorney and the vast crowd that packed :hme courtroom listened with breathless attention. Out side in the corridors could occasionally be heard the loud arguments of people who held passes, but who were refused admission by the bailitfs because the courtroom was packed to suifocation. Luetger to opeu a Natoon. Cmciao, Oct. 38. - Luezgert has fnally dedided on his plans if he is ac quitted. Instead of exhibiting himnself and the middle vat through the coun try. as he had contemplated, he expects to purchase an interest in a downtown saloon or open one himself if a promi nent location can be secured, and the vat, the steampipe and the great Dane dogs will be exhibited as a sort of side show while Luetgert passes out bear over the bar. While getting ready to oen a saloon 1Luetgert will exhibit hiself in some local museum if lie can find a manager willing to pay his price. Luetgert is now demanding N.000O for a month's exhibition.

Fully Prepared for the Fall Trade in E.very Respect. o+o+o~o++oo~ In our long experienee i1: merchandising we have never procured goods in every line more satislactorv with a view to low and suitable prices than during our recent visit North. We allowed no opportunity looking to this most important end to pass us. These bargains we pledge ourselves to give our customers the full benefit oL. feeling sure that we could not give more practical shape to our sense of sympathy and gratitude to our country friends. We know by experience the special wants of our farmers. wiiose friendship we think we have a peculiar right in claiming, inasmuch as our firm it was w hich was the pioneer in this section to operate first with the various ftarmer Alliances. and that our dealings with these gentlemen were most satisfactory in every particular and were appreciated is cearly evinced by the present enormous increased volume of our business. We take much pride in this and are determined by continued conscientious dealing, and the lowest possible prices to retain our hard-earned pop ularity. Our store is frequently literally packed with cus tomers during the busy season, and this fact can be verified by a visit, and certainly most emphatically sustains the cor rectness of our statement.
