The news of the arrest of Jim Cummings. the Adams express robber, in Chicago this morning created the widest sort of comment althrough the city this morning. Many were inclined to discredit the news and to look upon it as a Christmas tale. The Post-DIsPaTCH made all possible efforts to gather the news from its corps of corres- pondents in Chicago, and the results of their labors are given below. But, inasmuch as this isa general holiday, and as even the Associated Press had suspended work for the day, the detalls received are necessarily meagre. The PosT-DISPATCA however, telegraphed to the General Superin- tendent of Police of Chicago about the matter, and through his kindness it is enabied to lay before the public the fact tat Jim Cummings’’ is really under arrest and is now on his way to St. Louis. The fol- lowing telegram was sent to the Superintend- ent of Police at Chicago: St. Louis, December 28. Superintendent of Police, Chicago, IN. Has Jim Cummings, Adams Exprees robber, been arrested in your city by the Pinkertons? Please answer. PostT-DisPaTcH. To this the following reply was received at 2:80 p. m.: CHICAGO, December . To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Yes, and left with officer for your city this morning. F. EBERSOLD, General Superintendent Police. This establishes beyond a doubt that the re- doubtabie ‘‘Jim’’ is now within less than four hours’ ride of the St. Louis Union Depot, the scene of his now famous robbery of the Adams Express Car on the Frisco road. Confirmed. Adouts o’clock Chief of Police Anton Hueb- ler received the following telegram from Chicago: ‘‘Three men have been arrested here supposed to be Jim Cummings and his two pals. They had $5,000 in their possession. They are now on the way to your city.’’ This telegram was also signed by General Superintendent of Police Ebersold of Ohi- ning detective, and not only was she accompanied here by One of his men, but make a move without being shadowed. About three weeks ago the ons of Mr. Pinkerton and his X were CUMMINGS JOINED’ HISLADY FRIEND, and began his careusai, Cummings seemed to suspect tha something was wrong and was of daylight, and he seldom, if ever, the house except after dark. When he did go he was never lost sight of by the detectives, Who did not want to arrest him until they ared his partners. They let him play his sting out. About 9 o’ clock Friday morning they visited the house on Halsted street and learged that the three men were still in bed. A little strategy opened the doors leading to the three apartments, and : AFTER A BRIEF STRUGLE, the three men, together with their fe- male companions, were securely hand- cuffed. Then the house was searched and it is said that over $20,000 was recovered. One man had $5,000in an inside yest pocket, and this package, it is said, was identified as one taken from the express car. With- out exciting the attention of those who might gossip about the affair the entire party hurried away to the Pinker- ton agency. There they were taken into a back room and one after another was led into an adjoining apartment and bjected to a se- vere examination. It is rumo@red that A FULL CONFESSION OF THE CRIME has been extracted from the youngest of the three men, but this is somewhat doubtful, as Mr. Pinkerton persistently réfuses to give any of the details for publication. He ordered the front doors leading to the agency securely locked, and the watchman was forbidden to admit any one but employes. HOW THE ARREST WAS DISCOVERED. Robert Pinkerton, Charley Wappenstein, three special Pinkerton operatives, the woman, Jim Cummings and two of his con- federates certainly took the Alton train here at Twenty-second street fast night. They may have gotten off at Belleville or East St. Loomis. The discovery of the arrest was made by the woman of Cummings inguiring at the Police Headquarters for Cum- mings, after his arrest by the Pinkertons. This putone of the police reporters on the qui vive. The woman is believed to have been an inmate of Belle Dimmock’s bagnio here, and went by the name of Kate. HARD TO GET FACTS. Ihave just seen Robert A. Pinkerton, so he was not of the party that left last night. Wap- penstein, however, who worked up the case, is certainly out of town. At Pinkerton’s office now one cannot even get into the door and the slightest hint of information is peremp- torily refused. At Belle Dimmock’s, over on Desplaines street, where the woman lived, it is denied that the arrest was made, or that they knew any of the facts. ——ͤ — WHERE Ar Efforts to Ascertain the Whereabouts of the Prisoners. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. CHICAGO, December 25.—The news of the capture of the express robbers published in one of the morning papers is believed to be correct and in full. No new facts here are ob- tainabie. Billy Pinkerton is furious and will not talk. The prisoners were never taken to the County Jalil or some other public lockup. The theory is that the party dropped from the train at East St. Louis, or that the captives are still locked up in the strong room of the Pinkerton agency. The latter theory is probable, as Pinkerton has doubtless not yet secured a requisition. _ — . BILLY PINKERTON MAD, The Detective Refuses to Talk and Damns the Newspapers. By Telegraph tothe Posr-DisrA Tren. CHICAGO, December 25.—It has thus far been impossible to get at the true inwaraness of the reported capture of Jim Cummings and two of his pals. Both the Pinkerton people and the express authorities decline to talk on the subject, but it is evident that there is some foundation to the story, and that Cummings is in custody, either here or in St. Louis: The Pinkertons are apparent- ly greatly chagrined over the publications this morning, and from the head of the agency down to the newest patrolman all preserve an owl-like silence. When approached by the — of Jim Cummings was published in the Ro- publican this morning, together with the statement thatthe prisoner and his ‘‘pals’’ would arrive on the Chicago & Alton train from Chicago this morning in charge of Pinkerton. Accordingly a crowd of eurious hered at the Union Danes to welcome tpl gee train was nearly an hour late and mented it led in the time valuable rumors that directions. — — dee the train at East t. Louis. Another rumor was to the effect that he had been sep On another train at M 4 h 2 & Alton train n had left East St. Louis. As she pulled into the Union Depot the crowd rushed to track No.6, on which she was puffing. ‘‘Is that prisoner on board?’’ the engincer was asked. Have you got him?’’ they called to the express man. The men looked at their questioners in amazement. A Fosr- DISPATCH reporter boarded the first car and passed through the train. There was no prisoner upon it. Conductor Holmes, who brought the run in from Chicago, said that there had been no man or men on his train under arrest, and none who answered the descrip- tion of the robbers. Baggage Checkman Cook, who passed through the train and had boarded it at Bridge Junction, East St. Louis, had seen nothing to justify the report. Most of the crowd dispersed after the arrival of the O. & A. train, but a representative number awaited the arrival of the Illinois Central which came in some halt hour later, but without the distinguished prisoner. = The only other train from Chicago this morning was the Wabash, and the men did not come on it, and consequently did not come in this city this morning. - n CLOVER AND MACDONALD. What They Say and Think of the Pinkerton Arrests. Circuit Attorney Clover thinks the men ar- rested in Chicago were arrested by Pinker- ton’s men as Jim Cummings and his pals and are the men the agency have sus- pected for some time of being the robbers. His reasons for thinking so are that a short time ago they came to him and got capiases for the arrest of the men, and stated at the time that they had them lo- cated. At that time they had them located in the western part of this State, but he sup- poses that the parties probably left there sinee. About a week ago he was informed, though not by the Pinkerton people, thatthe men had been located in Chi- cago and were under surveillance. Hesays he has been expecting to hear of their arrest any a aes the capiases were issued by him. hile they may not be the right parties, he feels sure they are the men Pinkerton sup- poses to be Cummings and his pals. Assistant Circuit Attorney McDonald claims that there is nothing in the reported arrest. He says that if Cummings was captured in Chicago either ex-Judge Laughlin or him- self would be immediately wired about it. He also says that he knows that the Pinkerton 3 have not deen working there on the case, but have located the men in the western part of the State, and he knows what working is going on there. It is merely a case of other par- ties being arrested for another offense and being mistaken Dy newspaper men for Cum- mings and his — Mr. McDonald admitted, however, that it might be Cummings and his gang, though he thought it altogether im- probable that it was. The capiases issued for the men were not good outside this State, and requisition papers would have to be se- cured to get the prisoners here. If the men were willing to come without papers they would have reached here this morning. After making this statement, Mr. McDonaid said he had met Detective Cleary of Pinkerten’s Agency on the street in the meantime. Cleary had charge of the case here and had just re- turned from the West. If the arrest had been made in Chicago he would certainly have been notified, but had received no word. The men arrested were men Wappenstein of Cincinnati had arrested for some other offense and he had taken them to the Queen City or some other place. Wappen- stein was not connected with the Pinkerton Agency at all. „ n THE ROBBERY. Fotheringham’s Story of His Adventures with Jim Cummings.” On the evening of October 2 the regular St. Louis & San Francisco express leit Union Depot at 8:25 o’clock. When it reached Mincke the train was blocked by a huge rock which had fallen from the bluff above. While the ob- struction was being removed the conductor endeavored to get into the express car, but found the door locked and was unable to arouse the messenger. The train pro- ceeded guietly to Pacific, where cries were heard proceeding from the express car. The conductor then broke open the door and found Dave Fotheringham, the messenger, bound to the safe, his hands and feet tied. The safe door was open, and silver dollars were scattered over the floor of the car. Fotheringham’s story, as told the con- ductor and others, was hat a man had presented himself at the door of the car at the depot at St. Louis bear- ing a letter purporting to be signed by Super- intendent Damsel and Route Agent Barrett of the Adams Express Company, instructing bim to take im Cummings“ out on his run and ‘‘break him in!. He took the stranger aboard and gave him some packages to assort. Meantime he took off his coat and with his back to ‘‘Oum- mings’’ wentto work. When the train was St. Louis Smeiting and Refining Com- pany who havetheir works at Cheltenham. his company shipped seven bricks of silver by the Kirkwood express on accomo- , the front portion baggage and express car and the rear n a passe was allowed to stan at the depot and was then p — 4 Fourteenth street bridge by a swi engine to make way for other trains. When it was backed down tothe depot some time after, two bricks of silver were MISSING FROM THE CAR there being only five of the seven bricks left. A careful search of the car failed to disclose their whereabouts. and the matter was imme- diately reported to the police. ves Badger and — * were assigned to the job, and made a careful search of the neighborhood, deeming it impossible that the bars could be carried far in so short a time, This morning they brought John Ryan, the express messenger, and Avery, the baggageman and brakeman of the train, to the Four Courts and questioned them regard to the robbery. When the train reached the Union Depot Ryan said he left it and reported to the Express Company. He says he locked the door of the car, which after being hauled down from Fourteenth street was FOUND TO BE OPEN. Avery, it was said, was on the train all the time, but he denies this. He says he went to the car twice, once got his lamps, and another time to get a match out of his coat. Both times he found the uestioning them fully the po- them o, and Avery toon his run this afternoon. The police feel confident that some one who knew of the bricks being in the car, stood in with the robbers. They are working on it on that theory but claim they have no one un- der arrest for it at present. 0 After let THE NEWSBOYS’ DINNER, The Little Fellows are Given a Feast by Mn. Joseph Pulitzer, The Christmas dinner given by Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the Post- Dis- PATCH and New York WORLD, to the news boys of the city occurred at noon, to-day, at Morton’s New Eng- land restaurant on Olive street, de- tween Third and Fourth. As quite a percentage of the boys have homes at which they took their di- ner to-day those A Guest. that assembled at the Post-DISPATCH office numbered a little less than a hundred. They were formed in a column with their right resting on the Grand Opera-house matinee sign and their. jib-boom bearing mainly on the nor’east. The columam was under the command of Mr. Wm. ylor, assisted by Grand Marshal Mike Gallagher. The various divisions were under the immediate direction of ‘‘Overcoat Jimmy,’’ Man Eater, The Light- House Kid’’ and Greek George. Each of these division aides has earned his spurs in the line of duty. ‘‘The Light-House Kid’’ was named because of his penchant for sittin u nights in b iar rooms. The „man - cater’s title is a compli- ment to his phys- igque. ‘‘Over- coat Jimmy’s’’ envied distine- adjective that precedes his Christian name. When the column was put in mo- 9 tion it counter- marched to sixth street, over which it moved to Olive and east on that street to the commis- sary’s. The large room of Morton’s place was fitted with long narrow tables on which were spread clean white cloths, Eight pretty giris stoodina line near the ammunition wagon waiting for the starter’s signal, The boys were very orderly and were soon seated. The first course consisted of oyster soup, after which, by unanimous consent, the regu- lar order of business was suspended and the batter cakes, which were printed at the bot- tom of the bill of fare, were brought in. The boys had long looked in through the front windows of various factories pro- ducing this line of ods and were now in ossession of the long-desired delicacies. or the third course the waiting giris came fromthe magazine laden with plates of carved turkey. The provender already contributed had limbered up the conversational powers of the guests, and the young women were reward-’ ed for their attention by flattering and candid remarks about their onal appearance. In the line of edibles the boys gore their most articular efferts to the solids, paying, Ses Regie attention to the frilis or relishes. hen the pie was passed the young gentlemen violated no canon of good taste by any use of their knives.

By Telegraph to the Post-Disratca. New Yorn, December 25.—The dissatisfac- tion of the Knights of Labor at the alleged unconstitutional action of the General Assem- bly at Richmond in increasing Mr. Powderty’s salary to $5,000, creating am office for Ohas. Litechmann at $2,000, reducing Fred Turner’s salary to $2,000, adding two members to the General Executive Board at $4a day and ex- penses, and increasing the terms of office to two years, is widespread and increasing. Be- sides the unfortunate ending of the big strike of butchers in Chicago, the letter of Mr. Powderly denouncing the Chicago anarchists and forbidding District Assemblies 24 and 54 from paying the money that had been collected for the defense of the anarchists, and the last assessment of 25 cents ordered by the General Executive Board in the face of the fact shat the expenses in the item of salaries slonehave been well-nigh doubled, have started a move- ment which will in all probability leadtoa special session of the General Assembly. Sev- eral District Assemblies have already refused absolutely to pay the last assessment on the ground that it is legal and many more sepa- rate local assemblies in various parte of the country have done the same. It is necessary under the laws of the order for five District Assemblies in as many different States to de- mand a special session, and then the General Master Workman is bound to callit. District Assembly, No. %, of Chicago, to which the anarchist circular was addressed, has taken the initiative in the matter and will in u probability prefer charges against the General Master Workman before the General Execu- tive Board for ABUSE OF AUTHORITY. This body has also decided to sign a call for a special session of the General Assembly to be held soon. There is little doubt that the necessary five States can be secured. At least one District Assembly in New York will sign the call, and there are districts in Connecticut, New Jersey, Indiana and Michigan which are anxious to have the matter settied as to whether the Knights of Labor are a constitu- tional body, or whether they are entirely in the hands of the Executive Board, with no right except that of getting out reserves for the members. Should there be a special session caliéa there is little doubt thas there will be a serious split in the order. Many of the most influential men in it, even in District Assembly 49, are d ted with the way things are going. One of them said day: ‘‘Powderly has acted like a fool in this matter of anarchists. It isnot a matter sympathy with them; it is a matter as to her they shall have fair og 4 The official organ of District Assembly No. 24, which Pow- derly rebukes for raising funds for the defense of anarchists, had an editorial shortly after — arrest of the anarchists which reads as ollows: „Let it be understood by all the world that the Knights of Labor have no n, .

Business, therefore, was not what it might have been at several of the houses. The Gypsy Baron“ at Pope's, taken alto- gether, is one of the finest productions of light opera that have been seen in St. Louis. The cast, while it did not develop unusual indi- vidual strength, was evenly excellent, the chorus was large and admirably drilled, the scenery fine and spectacular parts of the performance, the march and mise én scene were splendidly and _ artis- tically treated. Of the opera itself, there is little to add to what has been said. With stions of d opera in some pas- — — it unds in autiful music, exquisite * „ inspiring marches and pretty airs. tis a work which would be more e able at the second or third hearing than at the first. audiences have been good but not what an _ ~~“ of this magnitude deserves. is doing earnest, genuine work in 1 and while the houses have not large at the Olympic 4 per- formances will make a successful week. 11 * has done as well as it deserved, rT Play is an over-ambitious attempt of ttle interest and the — — this year is vent hee chief redeeming feature being Cor- COhanfrau would do well totry his mettle on pmething new, where his own merits could determined more accurately than in Kit.“ For next week there 1s promise of variety nd of the best class of entertainment. When Rose hian appeared here last year in ‘‘Onr Joan, she scored a hit, but the — really offered her little opportunity to display her best talents and there was a general demand to see her in the sterling high comedy roles in which her greatest reputation has been made. demand has the artiste year in a splendid of comedies and with a mons compan). comedies, too, are beautifully mounted, and this superb artiste will be seen at her best, if reporte of the press wherever she has ap- d may be trusted. Miss Coghian has had e best of training in England and in this ountry, having held with signal abiljty the sition of leading lady at K 8 beater. It was in high comedy there t her greatest success was achieved though her training has been rounded d finished in all kind of work. Not only in r art, which is intelligent, meistye and clean-cut with that üne quality which is in- describable and is only felt, but in her oharm - ing 3 is Miss Coghlan delightful. She has few equals inthe particular fleld in which she shines. The repertoire at the rand Opera-house will be as follows: Sun- 2 „Lady of Lyons; Monday and Friday, _ hool or Scandal;’’ Tuesday and New y Year’s Night, Peg Woflington in ‘‘Masks and Faces; Wednesday. ‘‘As You Like It;’’ Thursday, London Assurance; New Year’s = matinee, School For Scandal.“ The company contains some of the best sup- 2 that can be secured.

The Beautiful spot Where the Actress’ Re- mains Are Lying. From the Boston Record. We drove out, through South Kensington and passed a beautiful spot called the Boltons, a kind of park, in which such a pretty ivy covered stone church is situated. At the entrance to this park was a great, somewhat gloomy looking detached residence, set back in grounds that were filled with shrubs and trees that seemed likea bit of country that had been transplanted within — gates. On one side of the house there were long French win dows that, as the day was warm and pleasant, stood wide open, with lace draperies that floated quietly in the summer air. At one window there was a life-size bust of a young woman that had a familiar look. As we drove slowly by a siight, elderly little woman, with snowy hair and a sweet face, passed within our range before one of the windows. It was she whom the world knows best as Jenn Lind, but whose musical caaeer is now sun in private life into the individuality of Mme. Goldschmidt. On the opposite’side, just within the Boltons, there dwells another singer, whose pame is stillin ita zenith. She is Mme. Albani. Her home is one of the pleasantest in London, not for ita splendor or palatial surrouadings—for it is only a pretty ordinary, semi-detached London house, w th its bit of lawn in front, with one side bounded by an iron railing fence, inside of which is a low hedge—but for the happy family circle that dweils beneath its root, and where its hospitable door is always open with a cordial word of welcome to Mme. Albani’s innumerable host of friends. Brompton Cemetery is but a short distance beyond the Boltons, and the glimpse I had of the quiet, peaceful dwellings wherein two other famous artiste will dwell made the ob- ject of my visit to the pretty cemetery doubly sad. We found the only home this earth can ever give to the lamented Neilson on the border of a broad path that wound its way from the main entrance gate to a little stone chapel just beyond. There was no mound above her grave, but a long, almost square plot where the mound ought to have been was covered with ivy and geraniums that were rich with scarlet blossoms, and that seemed somehow characteristic of the splen- did beauty Adelaide Nelison possessed. At the head of the grave a great rough-hewn ranite cross stretched out its arms, and on ts face was inscribed in large letters: ‘*‘GIFTED AND BEAUTIFUL.’’ ‘‘RESTING.’’ She was, indeed, gifted, and the most beau- titul woman I ever saw on the stage, and I have often thought that the word ‘‘unforgot- ten might have been addded to those already on her tombstone. Greater actresses may have played many parts on the world’s stage, but none have ever trod its boards whose memory with us remains so green. Scarcely a week passes that I do not hear any number of times comparisons made between her and many of the actresses who are now appearing in the plays in which she appeared. The Ballet Dancer’s Training. The Grand Opera in Paris, writes a Paris correspondent, has a ballet school of its own, at which afew recruits are accepted from a multitude of applicants every year. The giris are urst obliged to submit to an examination. The physicians see that their lungs are sound, their knees straight, and their ribs not grown over one another. Dancing shoes and skirts are provided for them and for an hour and a halt daily they go through a process of training. For three years they receive no remuneration save 40 cents an evening when they appear in some spectacle to complete the mise-en-scene, At the age of 18 pupils of fair ability are pro- moted to the second quadrilie, and are paid $180 ayear. Out of this grade the most BEC: ficient pass to the first quadrille, from which the coryphees are selected. These latter receive $320 per annum, and from their num- ber are chosen the ‘‘first subjects, some of whom eventually become stars, with an in- come of $10,000 or more. It is a simple illus- tration of the survival of the fittest. He Forgot the Last Words. From an Exchange. The itinerant preacher and actor, Elder“ Adams, wasavery eccentric character. One night he appeared before a crowded house as William Tell, and atthe cluse of the last act he received a tremendous recall, with loud demands foraspeech. Putting his head out from the wings, he bowed gravely to the au- dience and said: ‘‘Ladies and gentiemen, I beg your pardon, but I forgot to mention that ‘Switzerland is tree. Sounds Like a Play. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. As is known, the daughter of McVicker, the elder, married Edwin Booth, but it is not gen- erally known that when their marital relations became strained McVicker sided with his daughter and that Horace MoVicker (her brother) took up Booth’s cause. This led to an estrangement between McVicker and his son that absolutely separated them. Time passed on without the breach being bealed or overture being made. One day, long after the Orst troubie, McVicker pere, journeying on the cars, by chance made the acquaintance ofa little girl—a mere child—whose beauty and winning ways fascinated him. Just be- fore he left the cars he asked her her name, and she answered ‘‘McVicker.’’ Scarce be- lieving his ears, the old man went to the child’s nurse and inquired again as to her name. she is the child of Horace Mo- Vicker, was the reply. Without a word the father wrote on a ard: Horace, come to me at once, signed his name to it, and sent it by the nurse to hisson.

When the lamp-lighters made their daily trips to extinguish the gas-lights which guide the belated pe- destrian through the night they met only the policemen on their rounds and a few patriotic citizens who had sat up all night with occasional stimulants. The owl cars ad done alittle heavier business during the night, but the first cars down in the mornin lacked the crewds of busy workers tha make them the avenues to the wmer- cantile hive. The cheery factory-girl was missed from the streets. Even the newsvoys were sporadic, and the chronic call of ‘‘mornpin’ papiz’’ was not on the atmos- phere to the same extent as usual. Thestores, with few exceptions, were closed. Some houses kept open until noonto supply the demand of the young mar who received his invitation late, and a few stores where hats and ladies’ wraps were dispensed were partially manned to catch the thoughtless gentleman who had neglected his wife’s interest in the season. The most populous resorts were the saloons which emitted sounds of laughter on periodi- cal breezes laden heavily with the odor of spices and rare nutmegs. As the day woreon the voung man withthe silk muffler came down town and bought two matinee seats. He was met about half way up the block by the individual without an overcoat, who was a baker just arrived from Peoria, and who hada job at which he was to begin work on Monday, ut who needed 15 cents to tide him over the interim of commercial depression. The group of three young with saliva on their mustaches and dented hats organized a parade with tin horns, but the ex- citement was not adequate to convey an im- pression of activity. The theaters were all wide open and all did a remarkable business at their matinees. Toys were given to the children who attended. All banks were closed, as were also the Merchants and Cotton Exchanges. A few brokers gathered on the Third streeg curbs and discussed prices and prospects, but the material was absent and the sales did not occur. The post-office was open until 10 a. m., Dut failed to draw its usual congrega- tion. The carriers made but one delivery but it was a banner distribution, and the men came down the steps of the building loaded like epistolary Kris Kriagies, which they were. AT THE HOTELS. Christmas at the hotels was observed ina very quiet manner. The arrivals were few and the usual crowd was absent from the lob- or All the hotels spread aspecial Christmas dinner with fancy menu cards and appropriate reetings. Altogether it was the quietest hristmas day known in St. Louis for many years. Ir You WOULD STOP THAT CouGH before it develops into a serious lung or throat disease use at once Dr. D.

The Land of the Otter and Seal—Wenders of Climate and Scenery— People and Pro- ducts—A New and Interesting Work. OUR AROTIO PROVINCE. By Henny W. Exttrorr. HENR New York; Charles Scribmer’s Sens, 1886. 1 vol., cloth, Svo., illustrated. Not because it isfar away and out of the reach of excursions are the people of the United States to be deprived of a knowledge of their Arctic territory. Of making books there has been no end, and it would seem as though every educated person who has visited Alaska must have sat down and straightway written a book on the distant colony. No less than three of these works have been noticed in the PoOsT- DISPATCH within the past two years, and it is only because the present effusion covers a wholly different field to that mapped out by its predecessors that a rechauffe of the tasty dish is served out to our readers to-day. The present volume is evidently the work of a thoughtful man, with a strong leaning toward natural history, who has devoted the best years of his life to preparatory study amidst the scenes he describes. Obviously and pre- sumably, Mr. Elliott is rather a naturalist than a geographer; given rather to the study of animal life and habits, human and bestial, than to thatof the inanimate beauties of na- ture. Apparently this characteristic of his own has somewhat disturbed the writer’s peace of mind, for we find him from time to time launching out into laborious descriptions of natural scenery, evidently materialized by the same process as ‘‘conscience money.’’ When all has been said ‘that he can grind out by the page upon the subject, our author goes back with a full heart and a very apparent improyement in his style of writing to careful studies on the ways and habits of the fauna of the district and the wild Indian of theforest. Hence we have but three or four pages descriptive of the geographical features of this marvelous Yukon, while a dozen are devoted to the natural history of the plants, Indian and wild life upon its banks, and nearly 200 most vivid accounts of the quest of the otter, the wonder- ful seal islands, and the habits of the animals who congregate there in almost incalculable thousands during the season for procreation. Leaving this most interesting subject fora second and necessarily more lengthy paper, we will devote our attention to a brief review of the author's conception of Alaska in gen- eral, its natural features and the hubits of its people. From the excursionist’s point of view Alaska is not a promising territory for investigation. „»The bewildering undulation and endless length of the coast, the thousands of islands and islets, the numerous volcanic and tower- ing peaks, and the maze of large and small rivers make a comparison of Alaska, in any other respect than that of mere superficial area, wholly futile when brought into contrast with the rest of the North American continent. Barred out as she is from close communion with her new relationship and sisterhood in the Ameri- can Union by her remote situation, and still more so by the unhappiness of her climate, she is not going to be inspected from the plat- forms of flying express trains, and, save the littie sheltered jaunt by steamer from Puget Soundto Sitka and immediate vicinity, no ocean tourists are at all likely to pry into the lonely nooks and harbors of her extended coasts, surf-beaten and tempest-swept as they are every month in the year.’’ It is, therefore, only from the works of official or trade-involved residents or by join- ing that noble army of martyrs ourselves, that we can arrive at a full understanding of Alaskan life and resources. The climate is peculiar—extraordinarily so considering the latitude. You are not going to be very cold here even in the most severe of winters, nor will you complain of heat in the most favorable of summers; it may be best epitomized by — in brief, that the weather is sue that you seldom or ever find a clear cake of ice frozen in the small fresh-water ponds six inches thick and you never will experience a summer warm enough to ripen a head of oats. The first impression usually made upon the visitors is that it is raining, raining all the time, not a pouring rain or shower, then clearing ap quickly, but a steady driz—driz—drizzie. t rained upon the author in this manner seventeen consecu- tive days in October, 1866, accompanied by winds from all points of the compass. There fore, by contrast, the relatively clear and dry months of June and July in the archipelago are really delightful—ciear and pleasant in the sun, and cool enough for tires indoors—then you have about eighteen heurs of sunshine and six hours of twilight. So much has been already noticed in pro- vious reviews on the wild grandeur of Alas- kan scenery we may safely leave this portion of the work to such as care to read it for themselves. Whatever resources Alaska may hold concealed for other forms of industrial enterprise, it would appear that farming would be ata discount, since Mr. Elliott remarks on pages & and 35: 8 hundred-acre steep mountain wal Fortunate, however, it is, that much of the provender necessary to animal life thrives in -from idle. — into the living arboreal boughs and green | mosses forming great club-like masses on the branches. The Indian is somewhat dramatically tntro- duced into the volume while negotiating a sale ma manner peculiarly his own. The account is so picturesque that we give it verbatim: In a small, frame, one-story house, not usually touched by paint, the trader shelters a general assortment of notions and gro- ceries, but principally tobacco, molasses, blankets of all sizés and colors, cot- ton prints and cheap rings, beads, look- ing- glasses, etc. He stands behind a rude counter with these wares displayed to the best advantage on the shelves at his back, a wood burning stove diffuses a genial glow but no chairs or benches are convenient. A Siwash (all savages are called by this name up here—the sex being indicated by buck and equaw) and his squaw deliberately and gravely enter. The Indian slowly looks up and down tbe room and then proceeds to price every ob- ject within his vision, no matter whether he has the least idea of purchasing or not. This is the prelude and invariable habit of a Sitkan Indian, and it arouses a large amount of suppressed pro- fanity on the part of the outwardly courteous trader. But our savage has come fn this time benton buying and — too; his female pee has a bundle carefully done up under er blanket, and which she wholly concealed when she squatted down on her haunches the moment after entering the door. She also has a number of small silver coins in her mouth, for, funny as it may seem, this worthy pair have carefully agreed upon what they shall spend in, the store before coming in; so the woman has taken out from the leathern purse, which hangs on her breast and under her chemise, the exact amount and, returning the pouch to the privacy of her bosom, she places the available coin in her meuth for safe keeping ad interim. Finally the Indian, in the course of half an hour, or perhaps a whole half day in prelimi- nary skirmishing. boldly reaches duwn for his bundle and in the squaw’s charge; then having, by so doing, given the trader to fully understand that he has something to sell, as well as desiring to buy, he reaches out for the roceries, the cloth, the tobacco, or whatever e may be fully decided to purchase. A long argument at once ensues as to the bottom cash price, and in every case of doubt the squaw decides; all the arti- cles are done up in brown paper and neatly tied with attractive parti-colored twine. Then the dusky woman arises,and with an inde- scribably vacant stare, bends over the coun- ter and lets the jangling silver drop upon it, pausing just a moment until the tired, but triumphant trader counts and sweeps it, still moist, into his till, Now the Siwash having bought proceeds to sell, and he does it in his own peculiar way. He unrolls his package of furs; he eloquently discourses as he strokes each pelt out upon the counter, in turn praising its size and quality. The trader, meanwhile, sharply keeps one eye on the savage and one eye on the furs, and afterthe story of their capture and quality has been told over the third or fourth time, he asks, How much?’’ The crafty hunter promptly demands more than they would retail at in London. The trader answers with great emphasis and a most disgusted headshake, ‘‘No!’’ He then offers jus half or one-third the sum named whereupon the Indians, g great contempt, both shout out kla, roll up their furs and hustle out in a huff, still respondingin sonorous unison „ klaik, ‘‘kiaik,’’ (mo, no.) Then they go to the rival trader’s establishment, and to all of them in turn, even if there are half a dozen, not leaving one of them unvyisited; they finally finish the rounds in the course of a week or so and then quietiy march back to the trader, who offered them the most, and laying their peltries down in perfect silence on his counter, hold out a grimy hand for the exact sum he had previously proffered. The Indian village and totem posts were sufficiently described in a former work. Out- side of the duty of accompanying her spouse on his hunting expeditions the Sitkan squaw has a somewhat busy life. True-she has no washing of clothes to do for anyone but her- self, for in this land of liberty every one washes or leaves unwashed such portions of his apparel as he thinks fit. The squaw there- fore has no washing and no sweeping or dusting to do. She does not even wash the dishes. Still she is far She has to hew the flrewood and drag it in; she has to carry water and attend to all the rude cooking and filling of the trench- ers; she looks alter the mats and the sewing of the children’s furand other garments, and if she has a pappoose it needs as much eare as if it were white; she has to make ail of the tedi- ous-berry trips, picking and drying of the fruit, as well as attending to the preservation, inthe same manner, of the fish and game brought in by the male animal of the estab- lishment. The one thing of joy, of delight, and of in- finite use to the Sitkan Indian is his canoe. Life indeed would be asad problem for him were it not for this adjunct of his own crea- tion. Upon its construction he lavishes the best of his thought, the height of his manual skill and hie infinite patience. The result of this attention is to fashion from a single cedar log a little vessel which challenges admiration invariably for its fine outlines, its seaworthi- ness and strength. Our author bas kept us so busily oconpied with the numerous items of interest in his first few chapters that we have scarcely time to dip further into this most interesting vol- ume. Moreover, the entire contents of the work might be reviewed, for there is not a dull page in the book, but this would be scarcely fair to the author. We can only advise a careful perusal of the work itself, which will richly repay the time spent thereon, and in the meantime, at an early opportunity, we hope to append a brief account of the otter and seal fisheries, the sqa-lions and other in- teresting natural fauna.

A World’s Championship Race at St. Louis— The Bulletin’s Explanation. One event which will help make the L. A. W. meet at St. Louis the most memorable ia the history of cycling has been already de- cided on. The American Wheelman is so pleased over the success of its last year’s road race at Olarks ville, Mo., that it proposes to giye another next spring in connection with the League meet. It bas deen practically settled that the meet shall be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 19, 20,21. The idea is to Have the road race a fifty- mile contest, on the Belt road, so arranged as to satisfy the racing con- ditions. The race coming off Saturd an excursion runnin from purtunity of taking in the race, and on the next day enjoying a ride over the Pike County roads. The American Wheelman’s intention is to make the race a werld’s championship. To do this the consent of the American Cyc- lists’ Union and of the National Cyclists’ Un- ion of England will have to be obtained, which, it is said, is n a fair way of bel done. Assurances have also been receiv from all the leading makers that they will enter theirmen. Gormully & Jeffrey will con- tribute Whittaker; Overman his team of Ives, Rhodes aud Stone; Smith Manufacturing Com- any, the long distance champion, M J. he prize, as now arranged, will be a cup val- ued at $250. The road over which the race will be run is the one on which George We broke the world's 50- mile record last spring. BELDING AND THE BULLETIN. The editor of the Bulletin, official organ of the League of American Wheelmen, writes to the Post-DisPaTCH explaining that the letter of H. W. Belding was published as soon after its reception as possible. He claims it was dated October 6, recetved at the Bul- letin, October 7 a day too la for issue that week, but appeared October 15. The Bulletin“ s letter closes with the usual threat, this time that the editor will print a photographic copy of Mr. Belding’s letter, with an expert’s affidavit that the date has not been changed. Theeditor says he has written Mr. ne and hopes to get a correction from D m. The editor of the Bulletin dodges the issue when he tries to’ make it appear that Mr. —2 3- charge is based upon only one de- layed letter. In the Post-DisPaTCH of De- cember 4, Mr. Belding clearly mentioned two distinct letters as having been delayed. This other letter, the Bulletin’s editor says nothing about. Mr. Belding is read it red-hot for the official editor. He for bear, and when the time cemes he will refer toa certain communication which he sent to the Bulletin, to be published over his League number, warning ue members ainst a certain paper. will tell ow that letter was sent back to him on the ground that the personal relations’’ existing between the editor of the paper and editor of the Bulletin were so pleas- ant as to preclude the publication. How much of a correction the Bulletin’s editor will get from Mr. Belding may be judged from the fact that the latter wrote to the editor of the Bulletin this week, stating that the latter’s threat to publisha 2 copy of his letter didm’t scare im atall, and that he stood ready to meet the Bulletin’s affidavit with his own affidavit. One of his sentences written to Bulletin’s editor is esas enough to show Mr. Belding’s determination. 0 writes: I have my kneebreeches on and can follow you into just as deep water as you can find.’’ About this photograph business, the St. Louis Spectator says this week: ‘‘The sight ot a photographic letter in an official organ will be interesting, but not so much so as the discussion by the Board of Ufficers on — auditing of the bill for the photograph- ng.’’ the A PHOTO on the Ohristmas tree From Strauss will fill the folks with glee.

The net earnings amount to 8 per cent and pay pearly 4 per cent on all the ‘‘watered’’ stocks and “sugared” bonds of all the railroads, the broken down and bankrupt ones included. If the net earnings of all equal 8 per cent of the cost of all, the prosperous roads ‘must yield a very much larger return on the investment. These figures make it 9 plain that our railroad system can stand cs ® considerable curtailment of earnings * without being ‘‘ruined’’ or crippled in 3 any respect, except in the matter of con- ‘tinually agumenting their fictitious cap- italization and compelling the country to pay the current rate of interest on it after paying all the cost of operating the roads and their expensive pool systems. warning words in Henry Grorap’s “Prog- 0 “I speak without preiu - | still an honorary member of ss tthe union, which, whileworking at my “see: The methods by which a trade ] Gon of tend. some strong points to commend them. **force its demands, is a destructive con- “test. © „„The struggle of endur- ‘‘ance involved in a strike is really what „eit has always been compared to—a war, „and, like other wars, it lessens wealth. „And the organization for it must, like “the organization for war, be tyrannical. | “As oven the man who would ight fer fne0- “dom must, when he enters an army, give “up his personal freedom and become a “mere part in a great machine, se must it “be with workmen who organize for a “strike.

Judge GrEsHaM’s intention in appoint- ing Judge Coorey receiver of the Wabash was, doubtless, to give us one example of @ legally administered receivership, one example of a railroad run according to law. The cross violations of law which Judge GresHaM found in the Wabash re- ceivership were just what managers of solvent railroads do every day, and what the great majority of receivers have done without a thought that they were doing wrong and without being exposed or re- buked for it in court. The receiver of the Cleveland & Mari- etta read thought he was merely carrying out honestly that road’s contracts with the Standard Oi] Company when he charged that company only 10 cents a barrel for carrying its oil and charged all other shippers 85 cents, and paid 25 cents of that 35 tothe Standard Company. The Court would have known nothing of this if Mr. Gronez Rice of Marietta had not carried the matter into court. Judge Baxter of the United States Circuit Court, following the decision of the Ohio Supreme Court in a similar case against the Lake Shore, held that the discrimina- tien was outrageously illegal, removed Gen. Prasz, the receiver, and said he was sorry the Court could not go further and severely punish him (for at- tempting to carry out a contract so illegal and contrary to public policy. The same Mr. GEeorGE RIcx is now asking the courts to restrain the Louisville & Nashville Railroad from carrying out a similar contract with the Standard Oil monopoly. If he can prove his case, or the courts can get at the truth about the business of a solvent road as management, the decision will be in his favor, because there can be no question about the authority of the courts, little as that authority has been exerted against railroads, to restrain common carriers from practicing unjust discriminations and executing contracts that are in re- straint of trade. Judge Coolrr knows the law on this subject too well to execute apy illegal contracts between the Wabash agents and the Standard Oil Company or any other parties. He is familiar with a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court that all railroad leases and guaran- legislative enactment are void. An example of one railroad operated in voluntary obedience to law is much needed inthe United States. -_—————_ o> — — — CARPING CRITICISM. The New York Sun is afastidious paper, and sometimes leunches its gravest censure against the breezy methods of the booming West. It has just administered a dignified rebuke to the deportment of a Chicago audience that assembled to see the per- formance of Lakme“ by the American Opera Compeny. The matters which were such a grievous offense to our metropoli- tan contemporary are thus described by a writer in the lnter-OQcean: It was my misfortune to sit in the parquet in front of a proscenium box occupied by prom- went society people. They kept up a contin- uous chatter, ridiculing the performance and appearing to consider u very condescending on their part to sit through it. Such expres- sions as: ‘‘Isn’t he just too cunnin’?’’ Now hug ber tight?’ ‘‘Oh, yum!“ and—when the ballet appeared— Don't you think we'd better adopt that for a summer costume?’’ might be expected from an audience at a variety show, but hardly from ladies who pretend to move in the ‘first circles’”’ of society. Their con- stant jabber was a great annoyance to at least fifty people in their vicinity. The conduct described by this indignant eontributer would not be admissible in the great centers of organized social life, where the grace of respected traditions and the inherited refinements of past gen- erations still hold sway; but, in this case, much is io be said against hasty judgment and harsh criticiem. If the Chicago peo- ple fall short of the usual standards of taste and manners, it should be remem- bered that their pretensions in such a direction are very modest; and in epite of their deficiencies, they have When a wealthy citizen in a proscenium box adjusts the wrong end of a lorgnette to his eyes and screams to an actor on the stage “Now hug her tight!” it betrays o volume of sensibility welling up from the inner depths of his nature that must glad- den and inspire the people on the other side of the foot-lights.

ELLA GOODELL against CHARLES GOODELL, they canin the case of a receivership | a Methodist minister, was begun in Provi- Chief-Justice DURFEE, many ladies were present, made the fol- lowing warning remarks: ladies in this court-room to-day. From the nature of the testimony brought out in the other case, which affects this one, I am led to believe that there will be testimony given in this case which will be of a distasteful charac- ter te ladies. there is anything distasteful to a lady the door of egress will then be as open as the door of ingress was before. and considerate warning produced no ef- fect, the ladies all keeping their seats with tees which are notexplicitly authorized by | the determination to hear the salacious testimony to the bitter end. and its influence is sometimes dishearten- ing to those who love to take an opti- mistic view of humanity. served that the ladies who @isregarded the Judge’s offense much greater than the mere dis- play of a feminine willingness to hear and see the forbidden, which might have been passed over as a verial transgression; they tacitly, but openly, proclaimed their keen desire to hear in open court the foulest testimony that can be elicited from the witness-stand, and they defiant- ly challenged the censure and scorn of the clares that the American upper classes have no breeding whatever; that they are, in fact, the worat-bred people he ever met.

Freneh in warlike preparations. The ruling minds of Germany heave enough sagacity to perceive that they are to-day more than a match for France. This is patent enough also to disinterested people whose sympathies are not involved. In order to account for the German un- easiness at the ceaseless activity of the French in strengthening their armament and inereasing all their warlike resources, it is necessary to go back a few years and review the wonderful history of the rehabilitation of Franee, covering the time which has elapsed since the elose of the Franco-Prussian war. That struggle | left France fer the time prostrate and powerless; and her present thorough equipment and astonishing strength have been achieved as the result of a contin- uous growth and expansion which show no abatement. It is not the present showing of French strength that is so disquieting to Bismarck and his country- men as the fact that such strength has been reached through a continuous in- ternal expansion that is still going on, and which becomes more and more formid- able as time passes. It is true, moreover, that Germany cannot keep pace with France in the race of preparation and armament without imposing an intoler- able burden of taxation which the people will not bear. This is true on account of the superior resources of France, which confer an enormous advantage, although she has a smaller population than Ger- many and owes the largest national debt It is not the France of to-day that dis- turbs the imagination of Bismarck; it is It is clear more rapid expansion which has made A few days ago the divorcee ease of Lov- dence, R.

The Sunday newspapers of New York are marvels of journalistic enterprise and suc- cess. Before the advent into this city of Mr. Joseph Pulitzer from St. Louts to take charge of the failing New York WORLD establishment Bennett’s Herald was almost out-of-sight ahead of any other city journal. Now the WORLD leads the Herald by over 100,000 copies of its Sunday issue. For the last six weeks the WORLD has published a Sunday edition of over 250,000 copies and of twenty-eight pages. No other paper in the world can boast of such success. The truth is Mr. Pulitzer is a man of broad views, and although nominally Demo- cratic he spares not his own partyin his eriticiem of public affairs. This growth in the field ef journalism, however, is not to be credited to the talent or business capacity of any one man.

Gift-Giving a Feature of the Feast in All Places. “Merry Christmas” as It Looks in Old and Young England—The Curious Features of Its Observance in Bussia—The French Fashion—A Series of Interesting Descrip- tions. The institution of the istmas festival is attributed to Pope Tolisphbrus who died in the year 188. At firstit was one of the most movable, of the festive daye of the chrfesian Charch, and was often celebrate * in the months of May and April. An investigation concerning the date of Christ’s nativity instituted In the fourth century resulted in an agreement upon the Sth of December. There was no authentic proofofthe day, yet the decision was uni- formly accepted. The Roman Catholic cus- tom Of ushering in Christmas day with three masses, one at midnight, the second at early dawn, and the last in the morning dates back tothe sixth century. The day has been considered in the double tot of a holy day and a cheerful festival and js been marked by devotion, vacation from wsiness and by merriment. The custom of ung ing carols, which recalled the songs of the shepherds at the birth of Obrist dates fom the time when the common people ceased to understand Latin. In the middle ages the songs were often enlivened by dances and by the music of tambours, guitars, violins and organs and the lower clergy often joined the populance in the carolling. These carols sometimes took the place of psalms in church. IN EARLY ENGLAND Christmas revels used to begin on Christmas eve and continue until Candiemas (February Y. Every day was a holiday until Twelfth- ight (January 6). In the homes of the Duty it was the custom to appoint a lord misrule’’ or ‘‘abbot of unreason,’’ and @dominion lasted from All-hallow Eve (Oc- mer 81) to Cand‘emas Day. The tenants entertained at the hall and the lord his lady encouraged every n. The larder was filled with ons, hens, turkeys, geese, ducks, beef, ton, pork, pies, puddings, nuts, plums, sar and honey. A glowing fire made of fs, among which was the yule, burned ightly until Candlemae Eve. he yule log en almost burned was put carefully away, d its charred biock served to light the fire of he succeeding Christmas. The black was supposed to bring good luck to the house in which it was kept and to bea kind of talismanio insurance policy against accident by fire. During. these early revels the contents of the well-stored larder was shared amid music, conjuring, riddles, hot cockles, fool- plough, snap-dragon, jokes, forfeits and dances. The generous wassail bowils and bowls of punch were passed, and never failed to bring tumultous joys. The first and prin- cipal dish on Christmas day was a soused boar’s head, which was borne to the table with great state and solemnity. The houses and churches were decked with evergreens, as it was an old belief that sylvan spirits might flock to the evergreens and re- K Mu unnipped by the frost till a milder sea- gon. The holly, ivy, rosemary, bays, laurel and mistietoe furnished the favorite trim- Mings, and were not removed till candlemas. Chapiets ofthese were also worn about the head, a practice to which the phrase to ‘‘kiss Under the mistletoe is an allusion. The last Memorable appoiatment of a lord of misrule was in 1627. ENGLAND TO-DAY has lost much of its old boisterousness, and in the pressing economy of the time the long holiday season no longer obtains. The zam- bols and carols bave nearly gone by and the family reunions and evergreen trim nings are nearly all that remain of the’ Various rough merriments which used to mark the festival. Among the children there are still echoes of the revelry, especially in the rural districts. The Villagers go to the doors of their friends and sing the old time carols, The yule log is burned and the children go to the woods to gather the mistletoe and holly.

Afterthe snowball tourney the girls retire to their co-operative boudoir and make up for thetr evening calls. At nightfall the festive board is spread. The gitls are seated on one side and the ‘‘elected’’ on the other. The job lot of old folks that drop in are located according to their social an financial desirability. Everything on the table from candles to cheese is at the disposal of guests. The girls eat sweetmeats onl and boys who have stood outside the gate the afternoon eat nothing as of the girls is supposed sufficiently sustaining. The host passes the wine to each guest who goes through the pan- tomime of — gy, it and being urged and then accepting it. if he is avery Uant fel- low he refuses a third time, which is a signal for the hostess to join in the invitation, which is invariably successful. After the banquet the cats depart, each old couple carrying off their daughter; the streets are lined to see them depart and the crowd of commoners make it a night of outdoor revel. IN ITALY the Christmas season begins nine days before the day and is called the Novena. Great prep- arations are made for its celebration. For days the carpenters and scenic artists of the cities and hamiets are at work. The manger is built in all the churches and in the majority of private houses. The madonna made of wax is seated in the stall, while above her are the ox and the ass. The abundance of tropical Italy breeds a prodigality in the scenic artists and on the painted backgrounds of the manger a whole menagerie of animals are pat. The impression would de that the story of the ark had become confused with the more tender legends. Candles are placed about the stall, and to the mimic scene of Bethlehem they lend their light, made sa- cred by the sanction of the church. Detail is a recommending feature of the ecclesiastical drama and the star that guided the wise men over the plains is not forgotten by the artist. Itshows upon his canvass atmosphere just above the horizon, heroic in size and circled with lurid rings like a switch tar- get. When the preparations are com- pleted much time is spent by the people in visiting each other’s mangers and expressing mutual approval, and there isa renewed interestinthe church. The day be- fore the Novena is the time for the arrival of the Zampognari or Shepherds from Abruzzi. These are regarded with holy reverence by the eople as tradition has them descended direct- 5 from the shepherds of Bethlehem who on that star-lit night so many centeries ago sang inthe frosty air. They are dressed very pic- turesquely in goat-skin knee breeches. About their calves a coarse worsted stuff is wrapped and cross-gartered with bright ribbon. heir vests are of goat skin with the long hair left on it as on their breeches. A cotton shirt and a draping Spanish cloak, parti-colored and with many patches, completes the make-up, which is surmounted by the conical Calabrian hat with plumes and ribbons. They play on a kind of bag-pipe, 1 custom with which they have probably afflicted the communities for some centuries as Raphael in his manger scenes has painted them, The Zampognari, immediately upon their arrival, go from house to house and bargain with such ofthe inhabitants as desire to cele- brate the season to furnish the music. In proof of contract a wooden spoon is given to the householder. This he hangs over his door-posts, as the Israelites in olden days smeared them with lambs’ blood that the death angel might spare the first-born of the household. The simile ends there, however, asthe wooden spoons are signals for the visits of these mes- sengers. On Christmas eve the pipers come. The neighbors and the family gather about the manger, a bagpipe prelude is played and the pipers sing to their own accompaniment. For ever hallowed be The night when Christ was born, For then the saints ald see The holy star of morn. St. Anastasius and St. Joseph old They did the biessed sight behoid. A chorus is then joined in by those about. The Christmas feast consists of capitone, a kind of conger eel, which the poor wil sell their very beds to procure, as its consumption is of far more importance anda more patri- otic act than the destruction ofaturkey is in the United States. A fire is lighted at 2 a. m., and the feast, in training for whicn they have fasted four and twenty hours, is spread. Be- sides the capitone, there are fish and maccaroni dressed in oi). No dancing is indulged in, and only the more quiet games. A favorite and one which brings the simple people in close proximity with each other is to sit about a table, while high in frontof each player is placed a pile of nuts. These he tries to re- move, oneatatime, without disturbing any nut but the one de lifts. The game is like that of jackstraws. At s a. m., for then it is said the infant Christ was born, the people form in their respective domestic processions and deposit the babe in the manger before the Madonna. A large procession is formed for the performance of this ceremony in the churches, and is headed by the officers of the church. After this the eople go on the streets and chant all night. — dreworks are used. A pretty custom with the peasants isto approach the roadside shrines, with which the country abounds, and gin to the Virgin’s image witha view of cheer- ing her in her approaching hour of labor. FRANCE the custom of observing Christmas differs with the sections of the conntry. In the North, upon the Belgium line and near the impertal territory of Alsace, the German habit has its influence. In the South, and near the Spanish line, the customs of the warmer countries obtain, influenced and modified by the dominating religion. The peasants have their dances and the feasts of Christmas Eve. The manger is built in the churches and the village procession attends the ceremony of placing the babe in the manger. It is a great drinking festival and the native wines are served with a liberal hand. In Paristhe tender custom of making presents to the kinfolke is carried to an excess, and the volatile politeness of the Parisian causes him to include on his list not only friends but mere acquaintances. This abuse has come to be such a tax upon those of more modest meuns that a kindred wrong has grown from it. The giving is but a matter of form. and one gift, like the fabled and nimble penny, is made to discharge many debts. As, for example, M. Henry presents early in the day his sweetheart with a bottle of per- fumery. She in turn gives it to her cousin Fiorette. Florette has a little obligation to discharge, so she chan the pink ribbon which ties itforascariet one and gives it to Pierre. Pierre in turn presents it later to the pretty milliner, who uses it as a gift to the grisette who does her sewing, and so in time, after playing many parts, the bottle may be handed back to M.

In the countries of Bcua- dor, Peru, British, Dutch and French Guiana the weather is sultry at Christmas time, an the streets at night are more inviting than the house. When the Noche Buena comes the Indians go ones the streets selling ice which is atonee t necessity and luxury of the climate. Crowds are on the streets. Ne- are in time with an accompaniment by shaking and — pebdles calabashes. Processions quickly py BH, these negroes in the lead. The dian women follow with long slender wands on which are streamers of ribben which they wave in the writhing evolutions of a graceful dance which they keepup. They are attired in loose and flowing, though scanty robes. They sing very softly their pretty native melo- dies in which they are sustained by harps and flutes. In eve house there ia music and the doors and windows are thrown open wide. As in Spain the dances are in progress and every stranger may wander in. No introduc- tion is necessary, and the new-comer Is priv- lleged to speak to auy lady who may be disen- ged. Cigarettes are provided and cooling — Some of the women wear mantas or loose Vells af weven silk with which they conceal all the face but their eyes. manta is inviolate and its wearer takes every liberty she may desire in her remarks about the company, which are often of a witty nature and sometimes yery caustie. A favorite custom is to burn pastiles and the guests are often covered withashower of perfume, that being considered a great compliment to friend or stranger. A midnight mass is celebrated. 4 pro- cession is formed of the villagers headed by the military which marches to the cathedral. The women in mantas guy the the sober monks as they march past, and if mer can induce the reverend gentiemen to 100 aside great mirth is provoked and monks themselves join with a smile. The Madonna, as in Spain, is personated in the procession by a maiden. After the mass the streets are scenes of unabated revelry until daylight and through the Christmas day, which is brought to a characteristic finish with the bull-fight. IN THE UNITED STATES the Christmas custom isa mongrel—a com- bination of many customs. in New England itis more a day of family reunion, and but little levity mars the atmosphere that is a legitimate outgrowth of the bequeathed though modified ideas of the Purtian fathers. In Southern New York and through Pennsylvania where the inhabitants are largely of Dutch descent, the German oustoms of gift-making and the Christmas-tree celebrations are in vogue. In all sections the day is one of feasting. In the majority of the States the day is a legally recognized holiday, and its celebration varies with communities, often being different in places but a few miles removed from eachother. Through Kentucky and some ofthe Western States the occasion is regarded as one to be celebrated by — all temperance resolutions and reparing for a season of repentance with the nooming year. In all places religious services are held and the taverns sustain their reputations as molders of public sentiment by presenting free grog to their patrons. Butfew games are indulged in and nothing approaching the carnival com- plexion of the older countries occurs. Of late years some unseen influence is securing the ntroduction of fish horns amongthe juvenile and the rollicking members of the older classes, but a growing and righteous indig- nation promises an early suppression of th emphasis.

New YORK, December 25.—The announce- ment cabled from London that the ocean yacht race for 1,000 guineas, to be sailed under we auspices of the Royal Thames Yacht Club pext summer in honor of the Queen's jubilee, gill be open to the whole world, created a twely feeling of interest among yachtsmen on gis side. The question invariably was: “What American yacht will go over and get we prize?’’ The chance of any particular yacht contesting in the race could not, of tourse, be definitely discussed, but knowing yachtsmen could form some pretty shrewd Yankee guesses concerning next season’s de- velopment. These guesses were remarkable for the gnanimity with which they selected THE SLOOP PURITAN u the yacht almost certain to go over. There gre a good Many reasons why the Puritan may be @xpected to enter thelist. She is second gly to the Mayflower in point of speed, she is scrack sea boat, and, most significant ot all, er owners are known tobe anxious for an portunity of again doing America honor vith her racing qualities. tis believed that with possibly one excep- ton the Puritan has the best chance of any gnerican yacht of winning the English race. Mypesent it is thought unlikely that the May- r can go over at all as she may be needed this side to defend the America’s cup next on from the attempts of James Bell's bh Thistle. As the final plans of the four yachts that are to compete for the honor racing the Thistle have not been made ng to some uncertainty concerning the h of the Thistle’s water-line, it cannot fully determined until well into next sum- whether or not the Mayflower may not be mpelled to remain here at least until after races. That would prevent her from — to England. Th ritan ia then left free band come as sh leases, and as things now she will, w the exception of one t, havethe best show for representing erica in the internationai contest. That F ption isthe schooner yacht Sachem. - As Sachem was new last summer it is not just ly known what she can do, but enough already been seen of her to justify the be- at she is the fastest schooner afloat. Be- the Sachem got after the English bullt oner, the Miranda, last summer, the nda was eonsidered something of a won- The ease with which she was beaten by Sachem, therefore would seem to show the Sachem would have no difficulty in me around anything in England in te ANY KIND OF A RACB, | especially in the kini of a race contem- ed by the Royal Thames Yacht Club. 4 . achtsmen agree that it stands to reason that the Puritan can beat the Sachem she can ring home with her this Queen's jubilee prize money. It was not known what the owner of the Sachem will do. It is thought to be only reasonable, however, that, as he has a fast yacht and no obligations to remain here to defend the America’s cup, he will welcome an opportunity to sail achts of the world. 18 particularly Well an poean race. The English course will be in all probability eighty miles in length. Not only he Sachem but the Puritan could do it beauti- nlly and carry sail with the best of the English titers. was rumored yesterday that Thistle’s keel i been laid and that her water-line length i been laid out as eighty-one feet.

BOWLING. The New Northern League—Good Individual Scores—Gossip. George Garban, the bowler, has been at work day and night on his pet scheme for the formation of a new Northern League of bowl- ing men during the past week, but he com- plains bitterly of the lack of support shown by the principal clubs in the West and North. A mecting was held in the early part of the week at which were delegates from the West ft. Louis Club, the Exceisiors, the North St. Louis Club, the Franklins, and a few others in the North End. The question of the new league. was discussed pro aud con foran hour or more. The scheme was looked upon favorably by a majority of the bowlers while there were two or three who entere odjections against it. The main difficulty it Appears was found to lie in the matter of al- leys. Onceform the aseociation;it was ar- pred, and disputes would arise as to the alleys n which the matches would be rolled. One delegate was of the opinion that these dis- putes would prove a constant source of an- noyance and trouble in the association. It was decided finally that the delegates would call meetings of their various clubs, lay the matter before them and that another delegate with power to act tor his club would be ap- pointed to attend a general meeting to be held next Tuesday night. It is said that this meet- A non either in smoke ora new bowling Individual Scores. Some good Individual scores were made this week at the Grand.

Iod Medal Balk-Line Tournament—Gossip of the Rail. Now that the long drawn out cushion carrom | ‘atch between Schaefer and Slosson is over, me local interest begins to center on Schaef- r l4-tnch balk-line tournament.

The prize consists of a pair of diamond sleeve buttons. Baker, Harris and Peters will play for the tourth and fifth prizes next week. Sam Baldwin has concluded to wait until the 14-inch balk-line tournament at Schaeter’s is finished to open the 10-inch tournament at the Grand. He says the majority of bis players are entered in Schaefer's tournament also and that it would never do for them to play two styles of billiards at the same time. —, ARE THEY ROMANCES? The Btories Afloat About Indianapolis, Kan- sas Oity, St. Louis, et al. The repeated reports from Indianapolis respecting the formation of a baseball organ- ization there, which, itis said, will be admitted to the National League, coupled with insinua- tions that Kansas City and the St. Louis Maroons are to be dropped, demands more than a passing notice. It is particularly inter- esting to baseball men in this city, for in case the Le s Club here should drop out or be dropped out, the reputation of St. Louis as acl capable of supporting «a an American Association club The latest report comes from Pittsburg in the shape ofan interview with an anonymous director of the mye poy Club. It sta that the proposed deal will be accom- plished within two weeks at the farthest and that Indianapolis will by that time be a League cit > The matter, or the most of it at least, can be traced back either direotly or indirectly to A. G. Spalding of Chicago. hen questioned about the case the ae ory of the St. Louis Maroons reply that in so far as they are con- cerned the story is a lie, pure and simple. They claim that the President of the National League, that a few of the Eastern presidents, that Stearns of Detroit and 1 Spalding, have been very frank with them tn mapping out plans for next sea- son. They further claim to know, as members of the National League, just what city will be dropped in the spring and have assurances from the committee for the appor- tionment of players that certain men will be thrown in their way in case they desire to take them. In as muchas it has been stated that the National League will drop the Maroons, the attorney og the ciub and the resident int to the case of ‘iman an the American Association and say that it necessary every dollar in the business will be spent in fighting the matter in the courts. ‘‘If a League franchise is not worth the paper it is written on,’’ says Strom- berg, ‘‘it will be worth the time and the money we will spend to prove it. If the stories at present spreading like wild- fire over the copntry are untrue the St. Louis League team sould silence them by bringing forward proofs sufficiently strong to set the matter at rest once and forever. George Munson’s Christmas Gifts. Mr. George Munson, Secretary of the Ma- roons, has had prepared a number of hand- some portraits ofthe late David L. Reid who was well-known from his connection with the Post- DISPATCH, and among base bali enthus- lasts generally. Mr. Munson was Dave's“ most intimate friend prior to his death, and in bis last moments showed him all the kindness of a brother. He yesterday sent some of the portraits to intimate friends ofhis own, whom he also knew to have been friends of Reid. The gifts were accompanied by a note, in which Mr. Munson suggested that the offering would serve to keep green the memory of a friend in this season of se festivity. The gift was highly appreciated by those who received it. Base Ball Briefs. Perry Werden, who has been signed to play 1 na mata for the Topeka Club, is still in the city. Frank 8. Flint, the Chicago catcher, says he will stay sober next season, and prophesies that Keily will do the same thing. After all the rumors to the contrary it would seem that the only two of the Old Chicagos“ who will not play with the champions next year are Dalrymple and Gore. Robert Oaruthers is still playing at his old game of bluff. He adheres to ee theory of not pitching next year for $3,000, and ap- pears in print to that effect about every three weeks. Advices from San Francisco have it that Charley Sweeney has developed into a great first baseman. Itis consoling to know that Sweeney has developed into something, no matter what. The Detroit Club will open the season in the South. Manager Watkins has ciosed amonth’s lease on the baseball park at Macon, Ga., and the members of the team will report there for duty instead of going to Detroit. Unless Gore changes his habits next sea- don, says Capt. Anson of the Chicagos, he will have more trouble than he ever had. The club he signed with is not noted for sobriety, and the chances are that he will not improve in habits or playing.’’ CLOW BESTED. Jake Kilrain Handles the Western Cham- pien with the Greatest of Ease. John PF. Clow, the Western champion, sparred four rounds with Jake Kilrain Wednes- day night at the latter’s benefit in Baltimore. In describing the set-to the Baltimore ameri- can says: „As soon as quiet had been restored Prof. McGraw advanced to the edge of the ptatform and announced that the entertainment would conclude with a bout between Kiirain and John P.

New YORE, December 25.—The dispatch from Berlin that Socialist Von Hofensteitin, who was Lassalic’s second in a duel with Racovitza aboat a German lady who now yesides in New York, was dying, caused some purprise here. The lady in question is the wife of 8. O. Schewitech, editor of the Volks Zeitung, the Garman Socialist paper of this city. She was born Helena von 2 and — ihe daughter of a Councillor of tate in Hanover, who had represented the kingdom at tome. When Fe Lassalle was at the genith of his fame he met this at Berlin.

LOUIS’ TRADE IN GLASS, QUEENSWARE Window Glass Ahead of Former Years—Syn- dicate of Western Manufacturers — St. Louis the Center for Dry Plates—Fall Fes- tivities’ Influence—Increased Business in Farm Machinery. The following reviews of the business of the year in three lines are additional contribu- tions to the PostT-DisPaTcu’s valuable sym- posium on the year: Window Glass. . ‘ There are in the City of st. Louis three | 0 houses dealing exclusively in window glass. These are Drey & Kahn, F. A. Drew Glass Co. and Glenny Bros. Others as Platt & Thorn- burgh handle the commodity as an incidental of their business. Mr. Drey of the first men- tioned firm is responsible for the following estimate. He said: I prefer to speak of the business of St. Louis in this line rather than of the business ef our individual firm. The demand for window glass which had been cur- tailed in the spring owing to thestrikes and labor troubles is keeping up unusually will for the season anda lively trade all through the summer has made up the de- ficiency. The sales exceed those of former years and I think easily surpass last year by 25 per cent. The prospects are very fair for a larger demand for next year. The prices of American glass are now regulated by @ syndicate composed of all the Western manufacturers, and as the object of this com- bination is only to maintain a uniform and rice and to do away with continual cut- ting in prices, we consider that it will work to the benefit of the trade and a greater increase in receipts in the future, The present stocks throughout the country are light and trade is therefore in a healthy condition. One thing the year has shown is a remarkable increase in the demand for plate glass. It is taking the lace of sheet glass in nearly all building. Phe factories are still working on orders taken early in the summer. To meet the demand several large factories have nearly doubled their capacity. The large works at Albany are now producing 80,000 feet per week of finished lished plate glass. St. Louis can boast of he two largest factories in the world for the manufacture of ‘dry plates“ for photographie use, in the production of which only the finest imported cylinder glass can be used. One firm alone has during the last six months paid over $20,000 for duties on imported glass for this use through the St. Louis Custom-house. Aside from this we estimate the total sales of window-giass in this city, both for home use and shippin the territory St. Louis sup- lies, to be $50,000 boxes annually, represent- ng over $1,000,000 in money. The sale of other glass used in building amounts to an- other million. A remarkable increase is shown too in the consumption of stained glass. The country has grown in appreciation of this beautiful decoration, and where glass ordered a year or two azo cost $1.50 per foot, the same quantity is sold but of a finer quality and representing $10 per foot. If we should name the percent- age of increase in that line of goods it would seem inoredible. One thing in particular that stimulates the demand for stained glass isa comparatively recent improvement in its manufacture. Every stained glass design is made ot small pieces combined. Under the old method it was necessary to form a frame- work of lead fittea to the sizes of the glasses, after which each ye of glass was placed in a grove fitted for it and carefuily soldered at the corners. By this method it required some- times two weeks to finish a complicated design of twenty square feet. By the new process the glass is laid in immeasurably small leces in position according to the design, eaving sufficient space between each piece for the molten metal which is to fasten them together, after which they are put between — tay boards and the met poured in. This finds its way into every crevice and a solid piece of workmanship is the result. The actual time im casting is about five minutes and the smallest particles are joined without showing the heavy lead lines of the old pro- cess. he process is just being introduced, but it has already so increased the possibility inthe way of designs that there is a great growth in the demand and application of stained glass, and no one can tell how much it will affect the trade of the future.’’ St. Louis in the glass trade controls a fair portion of the South and West, but by no means what she is entitled to or could control ifshe was treated fairly in the matter of rail- road rates. Except the glass used for the r plates mentioned and for silver- ng there is little plate glass imported. The American plate glass for glazing and other or- dinary uses is as good as * imported. The milis could sell twice that they now produce. There is perhaps no business in St. Louis for which the future holds greater possibility than for the glass trade. Glass and Chinaware. The glass and chinaware business of the year just closing has not been as satisfactory as was hoped for bythe dealers. The bad feel- ing existing hetween the principal dealers renders it impossible to gather the statistics of the volume of business. Preparations were just being made last spring to replenish the exhausted winter stocks when the Southwest- system strike came on delaying the work, and ruining the spring and early summer trade. The dealers in this line of business have great- er reason to be grateful to the fall festivities than many others. The outlook at midsummer was extremely dull when the hotel meu instituted a boom by ordering new — — of tableware and toilet sets, in an- ticipation of the rush during the Triennial Conclave of the Knights Templars and the fall festivities. The following two months were dull again, but a good holiday business came to the rescue of the closing year. The Uhrist- mas stocks this year included a number of new articies, and showed that the artistic is finding place in the business. The glass and chinaware dealers expected agood holiday trade and laid in large stocks, which were pretty well sold out during the holiday shopping. The St. Louis dealers made several heavy importations during the year and ex- press themselves as well pleased with the rates obtained. Agricultural Impiementa. The trade in these has been from 80 to 50 per cent better than that of last year. Not that that was up to the legitimate, but simply that 1885 was a fearfully bad year. The sales then were net one-half of what they ought to have been. This was due to 2 routh, and bad crops upon which the sales of farm im- lements, of course, wholly depend. ; his gain 8 has not put up 84. The sections tribut to St. Louis are Southera IIlinoie, Missouri, Southern Iowa, Arkansas and the Southwest in general, and in a sporadic way portions of country along the Gulf. From thess sections come promises of a fair trade in 1887, larger than that of the past year, but not ex- cessively larger, nothing like a boom. The in- crease is expected to be from 25 to 30 per cent over 1886. he depression in 1884 was caused by overstocks of goods among small dealers. Now prices are ing generally.

Rockwell, the Red Bank eloper, was put upon trial before Judge Deming yesterday on 4 charge of neglecting to support his wife and é4-year-old child, who have been living in this city with relatives for some time past. The evidence against Rockwell was to the effect that he had given his wife but $25 in several months and that since September he had not given her a cent. Rockwell’s defense was that in this city on Monday written his wife offering reelf and child. He offered p home with his mother for them and the offer was refused. 8 Deming said that ifthe wife was insane, as „Rockwell said she was, her evidence could not be taken, but that Rockwell had ad- mitted enough himself to show that he did not support her. The sentence was that Rockwell should ish a bond for $300 for support and $250 in case he ap ed to the Supreme Oourt, which he will do. to-day. When asked ifit was trne that he was married to Mrs. West on the trip West, he denied it. He is out on bonds. WEST DISCHARGED. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPaTOH. Rep BANK, N.

How Santa Claus Visited the Glasgow Av- enue Presbyterian School. According to notice received from Santa Claus, that he would be present last night to greet the little ones, the Glasgow Avenue Presbyterian Sunday- school room was packed to the doors to watch the advent of the old fellow. A large, old-fashioned fire-place, with mantel shelf, which supported a clock telling the hour of midnight’s approach, loomed up in front of the school. After a twenty minutes rogramme of song and recitations, enthus- astically received, the room was quieted while the old clock slowly marked the approach of 12. When strikin the hour the bells on Santa Claus“ sleigh were heard in the dis- tance, growing louderand louder, until the welcome voice of the old chap was heard checking the famous team Descending, his jolly face was seen looking out of the fire- ne and a warm reception was — him as 6 came out into the room, pulling an im- mense basket loaded with packages. He was introduced to the teachers by Superintendent D Woods as they came 1K — their classes, and after each child had been remem- bered, departed with the hearty ‘‘Good- bye Santa Claus, come again next year,’’ ringing in his ears. The faith of many a little one was confirmed as he looked up 80 atefully into the face of the children’s riend and said Thank you, Santa Claus. Prof. L. H.

Tho advance sheets of the militia bill, drawn up at the Jefferson City conference of State militia officers, willbe ready for distribution among the officers next Saturday, In aconversation with a Post- DISPATCH re- porter Adjutant-General Jamison stated that the clause in the original bill pro- viding that the office of Brigadier- General be an elective one, was subsequently stricken out by him for the reason that the State Constitution makes the office appointive by the Governor. To have left the clause in the bill would have inter- fered seriously with its chances of passage. Otherwise the provisions of the measure re- main as published in the PostT-DISPATOH at the time of the council meeting. NOTES.

Lrrri Rock, Ark., December 25.—The ar- rest of James Bingham and William Perry, noted outlaws, and their incarceration in the Fayetteville jail, has revived interest in one of the most terrible series of crimes that ever occurred in the South. Bingham and Perry are members of a band of desperadoes whose evil deeds inspired this feud and who carried it on from the close of the war up to within is a section of desperate ch numbers of yer 1 0 n were others equally as desperate and who held human life just as lightly. A fight, soon after the close of the war, opened hostilities, and from that date until some time in 1882 life after life was sacrificed. The outlaws carried things with a high hand, and, though the authorities did everything to restrain them, the county was virtually terrorized. SHOOTING AN OUTLAW. In the spring of 1882 the desperadoes’ prog- ress received a severe blow. John Reed and several comrades were in town one night, drinking and threatening. Reed had sworn that no man could arrest him. By some means Marshal W. D. Patton got the drop on him’’ and he was locked up in jail before his friends could resoue him. Just as he was bein placed in a cell he broke from the guards an attempted to get away. Then followed a ter- rible struggle in which Patton played a promi- nent part, The lights were upset, but the fight went on in the darkness, bullets flying in every direction. Reed was armed, and. to him it was a life-or-death struggle. Presently there was a loud cry, then a heavy fall; and, a prison attache appearing just at the moment withalamp, Reed was found dead on the floor with a ball through his head. The kill- ing created great excitement, but popular opinion justified it and no arrests were made. Friends of Reed swore vengeance upon Pat- ton, Deputy Sheriff Mounts and others whom they charged as instigators of the tragedy, and fuél was added to their wrath by a subse- quent bloody event. KILLING OF GEORGE REED. Some weeks later George Reed was in town. He was drinking heavily. Always dangerous, he was particularily so when intoxicated, liquor making him a veritable savage. Mar- shal Patton tried to arrest him, but he was on the alert and resisted, when the Marshal shot him. Hefellonthe ground, dying in a few minutes later. Patton gave himself up; bail was furnished. His trial was set for the next term of Washington County Circuit Court. The killing of George Reed electritied the county. The followers of the dead man de- termined upon retaliatory measures. Patton was advised to leave the country. He refused to do 80; but henceforth lived in constant dread of assassination. Some weeks passed; but the outlaws did nothing. Soon the storm burst. A DOUBLE MURDER, The bloodiest page in the history of these people was written in May, 1882. One night during that month four men rode into Fay- ettevilie. It was nearly midnight. The streets were deserted. Marshal Patton and Deputy Sheriff Mounts were standing on the square conversing. The lights in the houses were disappearing. The town was sinking into repose. The horsemen paused in the shadow of some tall buildings. ta given signal four pistol-shots rang out on the night air, and Patton and Mounts dropped on the ground, pierced with bullets. They lived only A short time. In the excitement which fol- lowed the assassins rode off as quietly as they hadappeared. Largerewards were offered for their capture, butonly last week did these bear practic fruit in the apprehension of Perry and Bingham. Officers are on the trail ofthe remaining two, It is hoped that the feud is ended forever. A letter received from Fayetteville to-day says that it is reported Perry’s friends in the West Fork settlement are organizing witha view of releasing him from Jail, and that the trouble may not be at an en * — NATURAL FRUIT FLAVORS MOST PERFECT MADE Prepared with strict regard to rusty, Strength, and Healthfulness Dr. Price's Baking Powder contains no Ammonia, Lime or Alum, Dr. Price's E Vanilla, Lemon, Orange, etc., flavor deliciously. ic li PROF, MATTHEWS’ DYE WORE S8.

At this season ofthe year, when fiction isa large component part ot the reading matter of the daily papers and the periodicals, the pub- lic relishes a little solid fact. Dr. McCoy has had offices in the Oity ot St. Louis for threes years past. During every week of that time there has been selected from the many cures effected one case in which the sufferer was willing to maks known his experience for the good of others, and statements of these have been published together with the portraitaand addresses of the patients tnat anyone might verify the truth of the printed reports. The leading features in all these cures have been the re- markably shorttime in which they were ef- fected and the reasonable charges made. The cases have been selected in the majority of instances from residents of the city and the immediate suburbs. Of the late ones the fol- lowing are a few that the reader will recall: The subjoined portrait is that of John H. Curley, a foreman in Drummond’s tobacco factory, who lives at 1006 Julia street. Mr. Curley said: I was troubled with my head for several years. Whenever I caughta little cold it gave me more trouble than I had ever expe ced from a similar cause. I was bother with headaches which grew worse and more frequent and finally became permanent. physicians treated me foratime but did me no good. Four months ago I went to Dr. McOoy’s office. My case was pronounced one of violent catarrh. I called twice a week for a little over three months, at the end of which time I was completely well. DENNIS GRIFFIN a worker in the converter of the Vulcan Iron Works at Carondeiet tells asimilar experience. His catarrh was so violent and interfered so with his breathing that he could only breath through his mouth. This made his throat dry at night and choked him. From 206 pounds he wasted to 170. Several physicians treated him and gave him no relief. At last he went to Dr. McOoy’s office and placed himself under his treatment. He says that three months found him completely well andanewman in every respect. The case of MARY SULLIVAN living with Wm. L. at Ellendale on the Missouri Pacific Railway is another ex- ample. The trouble extende woman’s eyes. She hada and the dread was her lungs. A few months’ relieved her completely, and her health and stre were re ed. To these cases are added the testimony of other sufferers. 1 — — man ears of age deaf alf nis life, was ing restored in two months’ treatment. — — . — TI Line of Geuly, Tin and Boy Realy ul Cutumd ——CLOTHING oN Time’ Payments VERY EASY TERMS AND LOWEST CASH PRICES AT THE Strauss-Emerich Outfitting Co., 1114 (live Street HOUSE or PERSON.
