COUNTING THE COST;
What It Has Cost Cook County, Illinois,
Thus Far in Hard Cash oil Account ot the
Hurling of One Dynamite Bomb. Xot to
Speak of Consequential Damages — The
Ordinary Business of the Courts at a
Standstill.
Cuicago, Aug. 0.—“I suppose this
week will end the agony for the time be
ing,” remarked State’s Attorney Grinnell,
as he entered, court this morning. This
at least its the present outlook. The evi
dence in defense of the Anarchists lias
occupied precisely one week, or one-third
of the period which had previously been
claimed by their leading counsel. The
State’s evidence in rebuttal may extend
over to-day and Tuesday, and the ad
dresses to the jury will be under way by
Wednesday noou.
According to the present programme
the State will open, the defense follows
with two speeches, the State with one,
the defense with still another, and Mr.
Grinnell will close this brauch of the
case. The twelve addresses should he
concluded by Saturday noon at the lat
est. The judge’s charge may not occupy
more than one hour. Then the case
will go to the jury, and hence,
unless in the event of a dis
agreement, the prisoners will
know their fate ere another Sabbath’s
sun has dawned. These arrangements,
of course, are open to alteration,ami it is
possible, but not probable, that the talk
ing may break into another week. The
jury, however, are showing sigus of fa
tigue, and it is the opinion of people who
have watched them closely that the
counsel on both sides will best consult
their own interests by making the r ad
dresses moderately brief and particularly
lo the point.
Now that the trial is so near its end,
the total cost of the half hour’s out
break in Haymarket square is beginning
lo be figured up. On Saturday next the
trial will have reached its forty-eighth
day, not counti.a# Sundays. The ex
penses of the prosecution have averaged
3750 per day. which w ill make a total for
lie eight weeks of $30,000. Between
he arrest of the prisoners and the opeu
ng of the trial nearly seven weeks
'lapsed, during which the expenses
if the State averaged $3,000
-er week, or §21,000 additional,
riien there has been an expenditure of
it least §5,000 on necessary incidentals,
i'he cost lo the county of the treatment
d the injured policeman will reach §15,
1 00, and will go up to §25,000 if the ph\
iciaus and surgeons’ bills for extra
ervices are allowed. Of the §1)0,000
■ ibscrioed by the citizens for the ielief
•>f the wounded officers fully §50,000 lias
dready been distributed to the families
if the deceased and those of the snrvi
crs, or laid aside for their specific pur
>o te.
It will thus be seen that the financial
esnlt of the solitary bomb thrown in
iaymarket square, on the night of May
t, not including the cost of maintaining
ml trying the twenty-six men now under
ndictment for conspiracy, in connection
vith that affair, the depression of busi
ess,which was the natural outgrowth of
he excited state of the city, or the cost
if subsequent proceedings, should the
efendants be convicted and .the decision
ppeaied, reaches the enormous aggro
ate of §137,000!
Meanwhile the regular business of the
riminal Court is at a standstill. The
date’s attorney and his assistants can
•ot be in half a dozen courts at the sunn
ime. The jail is crowded with crim
:ials awaiting trial, and the sheriff’s bill
or board is mounting up iiito big figures.
io case of similar character or iinpor
ance, involving such an outlay, or tie
essitating such a clogging of the wheels
if justice, has ever before been tried in
his country. It is a cause eelebre which
■vill be a prominent feature of law reports
md legal works for a century to come.

'lie Case Appealed by Cutting’# Attorney,
Appointed by the Court — A Mexican
Pamphlet on the Matter — A Greaser
Tackles the Wrong Man—A Smoldering
Volcano.
El Paso, Tex , Ang. 10.—The only 1
etvs iu the Cutting case is the fact that
e was brought before tlie Court again I
aid told that his attorney (who had been {
ppointed by the Court), the young law
tudent, Jesus Yslas, had appealed his
ase to the Supreme Court of the State, ,
nd the appeal had been granted. Yester
day morning’s Mexican Central
rain brought in abundant quan
ities of pamphlets printed in
’hihuahua and entitled “The Im
risonment of the American, A. K. Cut
in".” It is a twenty-three page docu
nent. written by an eminent Chihuahua
uwver, Jesus Maria Palacios, and dedi
ate’d to Francis N. Ramos, the Chief
fustice of the State, who was here some
lays ago. The argument is based solely
ipon the much quoted article 186, and
Attempts to prove three propositions.
1. That the said article of the Chihuahua
State laws is the only one applicable in the
case of Cutting.
2. That said article is perfectly consistent
witli Mexican constitutional precepts an I
with tlie treaties they have made with the
Cnited States.
3. That the said article is a clear and con
cise expression of modern do' trines.
In regard to penalties and international
rights, lie quotes international law from
such authority as Fiorre, Arreosa,
Aherns, Hcfter, Foclix, Ortolan and
Blumtchiil iu support of bis position.
Many of thece pamphlets were dis

Dar' am sartin people who war’ bo’n

Dey am ns outer place as a blind boss

smartness to steal nor de spirit to work.
Dey am too cowardly to suicide, an’
not bravo’nuff to face de problems of
life. Dey am mean ’nuff to covet, bat
not reckless ’naff to steal. Dey begin
on Sunday mawnin’ to predict short
crops, an’ wind up Saturday night by a
prophecy of airthquakes or cholera.
On de front doah of cbery sieh man
should be nailed a sign readin’: “It
am better to pass on to de next

when I have room ’nuff?
On my table am co'n beef, ’taters,

please my taste, satisfy my hunger an’
put fat on my ribs. Dot's any jnillion

De panes in my windows am small

can’t do any better. Deir glass maybe
larger an’ cost mo' money, butildoan’
keep out mo’ weather.
I'ze got a bit of a garden in which
I’ze growin’ 'taters, lettuce, onions,
beets an’ de like. De Queen of Eng
land kin have a bigger garden, but her
wegetables must grow in de same way,
an’ would taste no better.
I'ze got plenty of fuel fur cold

I’ze got a lot all paid fur in de grave

De great trouble wid aiverage hu

would hardly buy ap’ons fur de wives
of workin’men to-day. We am full of

am part of our stock in trade. Envy
an’ jealousy am drivin’ out charity an’
contentment. Fifty y’ars hence, if dey

MODERN CALICO.
Why Woolen.Good* Have in a l.-.irgv Mea«
ure Supplanted Cotton Material*.
The calico made years ago would
wear twice as long without washing
as tin' modern calico. More substance
in actual liber is what is wanted
to regain popularity. Another reason
is the. low price that wool has ruled
at for several years past, enabling our
manufacturers to make woolen dress
goods at a very low figure, and these
goods do not require washing. Some
may ihink they absorb just as much
dirt without showing it, but they do
not. Cotton warp goods with combed
wool filling can now be sold almost as
cheap as calico used to be sold for.
But let clean wool again run up to one
dollar and over and calico would again
be more in demand. It might be in its
.new form and under the more fascin
ating name of sateen, which is but the
game fabric with the same material’and
process of printing, only it is wove on
three, fbut or live harness, which en
ables the manufacturer to make what
we call a warp or satin face. Sateen
is, in weaving parlance^ “quarter satin”
—both these fabrics take their name
bom the method or manner of weaving.
Satin is wove on sixteen harness, wi’h
fifteen threads up every time a tilling
pack is thrown in; while sateen is
wove on four harness, usually with
three warp threads up every time a fill
in'; pick goes in. All observers will
have notic'xl that satin will not hold
dust, .and will repel all kinds of dirt,
although silk in other weaves; such as
eros-fT!tm^, will catch and hold, not
only dust, but any foreign snbstauce.
Cotton does nut * have the repelling
power of silk, because it is not so dense
or so lustrous, but is a quick absorber
of moisture, and has an equal atiinity .
for dirt,—Fitter and Fabric.
