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.

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.

The Final Argument Made In
the Luetgert Trial.

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.
'-Diedrich Bicknese has also been
abused. lHe is thme origiual m:&m in this
prosecution. It was his siter who w:ss
killed. 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.

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.
We have not. of course. the space to lay before the pub
lie all our ol'ering stock, but can only refer to a limited por
tion. Probably much that is omitted will be found even
more inviting. -
