LOUIS, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 15, LATEST EDITION CHAPTER Il, — — Of the Story of Frand and Cor. ruption at the Late Election. One Hundred and Fifty-One Forgeries Discovered in the First Ward. A Preliminary Chapter Explaining the Power of the “Ring” and the Influence of “Bosses.” Glaring Revelations of Fraud in the Tenth Ward. Dead Men, Non-Residents and Myths Carried on the Poll Books as Voters. Registrations from Lumber-Yards and Va- cant Lots Carefully Carried, While Old Citizens and Householders Were Stricken Off Without Cause—Discoveries Made by United States Supervisors—Voters that Were Never Known at Their Residences —Why Were They Carried on the Books and Permitted to Stand as Correct by the Champion Reviser of the City?—More Light fer the Grand-Juries. The Fost-DispatcH to-day presents another installment of the evidence of fraud at the election of November 2. It goes far towards explaining to the un- suspecting citizens the management of ward machinery and the corrupt control or @iéctions. The Post-DisPatcna draws which the evidence is submitted. So long as there is a single chance of the long list of suspected parties being inno- cent of criminal wrong-doing they should not be arraigned by publication. Every detail of the frauds will be submitted for the guidance of the citizens and officers of the law who have undertaken to purify the elections. To-day the evidence shows that the law was plainly violated and that in a single ward 151 forged entries of voters were made on the books of the deputy registrars which legitimately could not have passed into the hands of more than four or five men during the time the ward registra- tions were made. How many of these forgeries represent real persons, and how many are myths, only intended to ma- terialize by a “strikers’’ impersonation on election day is a problem that cannot be solved at this early stage of the investi- gation. It will, however, receive further attention before the cause of the honest citizens against corrupt ward politicians and rings“ and ‘‘bosses’’ is submitted for judgment. Below will be found some startling evi- dence of fraud. Large numbers of voters who had moved into other wards and other precincts were carried on the poll- books in the Tenth Ward on election day. Dead men were carried on the books as voters. Registrations from lumber- yards, vacant lots and bogus numbers were entered on the books“ as those of qualified electors, while the names of old citizens and property-owners within the same block were stricken from the lists, and on election day were de- prived of the right to vote. It is not probable that all the persons who moved, as shown below, willingly forfeited their right to vote from their new residence. If any of the list did avail themselves of this right, the question arises as to how the names appeared on the old precinct’s books. In some instances the parties car- ried as qualified voters had left the city as ong as three years ago, though the names have ever since been carried on the books. The full significance of these false entries, carrying over dead men, non-residents and removes“ will be shown in later chapters of this gigantic fraud. The books of the deputy registrars of the First Ward have been impounded in the United States court under & subpoena. They are the registers alternately used for the canvass of the ward. These were sub- mitted to an expert in handwriting, who pronounces all but two or three out of 154 of the entries forgeries. The law specifi- cally requires each applicant for registra- tion to write hisown name if able,or to touch the pen in the presence of a witness as it is written on the reg- istration books. This is one of the laws explained fully in which no legal voter can be ty ignorance of after he has him- Notwithstanding these * John Shean, 606 8. Broadway. Broadway. John and Pat Hartigan, 627 S.

THE TRANSFER OF THIS POWER and definition of the duties of the deputy recorders is made by Sec. 11 as follows: An office for the registration of voters shall be opened in each ward of such city in such manner and for such times and under such conditions asshall be provided by the recorder of voters ot such city; and the recorder of voters shall appoint such deputy recorders of voters as he may require, whose duty it shall be to register such voters of the respective wards as may apply to them to be registered, upon taking the necssary oath (or affirmation) required by this act and said deputy recorders of voters are here- by empowered and authorized to admin- ister the oath or affirmation required by section 3 of this act and all other oaths necessary in the registration of voters, and if any person shall falsely take and subscribe before any of said deputy re- corders of voters the oath prescribed in the third section of this act or any other oath herein by them authorized to be ad- ministered, such persons shall thereby in- cur the pains and penalties of perjury * ® ® In spite of this plain wording of the law, according to the statement of an expert in handwriting, whose testimony is ac- cepted by every court in this city, 151 FORGERIES APPEARON THE FIRST WARD BOOKS.

VOTING DEAD MEN. The books furnished at polling place No. 106 in the Tenth Ward on last election day contained a large number of names rep- resented as being the names of persons qualified to vote. On Friday, October 29, Saturday, October 30, and Monday, No- vember 1, the last day preceding the elec- tion, F. W. Mathias, the Democratic United States Supervisor, and George M. Plunket, the Republican United States Supervisor, went through the precinct to investigate the names of these alleged vo- ters whose names appeared on the poll- books after the champion Democratic re- viser had turned in his books. Their re- port to Chief Supervisor Wood concern- ing these alleged voters is as follows: The following list shows (1) the number of the vote as recorded in the registration books furnished the judges and clerks on election day; (2) the name and address of the party; (3) the facts showing that they were not legal voters at the time they were so carried on the books of the Re- corder of Voters and permitted to stand as correct by the Deputy Revisers. 1.

In this same precinct the following named citizens appeared at the polling place on November 2 and offered to vote, but found that their names had been stricken from .the list without their knowledge, although they lived at the same numbers since registering or trans- ferring: John W. Brans, 906 N. 20th st. William Grosch, 908 N. 18th st. Jacob Galzmann, 1827 Franklin av. O. D. Develin, 1822 Wash st. Fred Miller, 923 N. 19th st. Ed. E. Edwards, 1926 Franklin av.

ONE INSTANCE in this list will give grounds for serious charges. Henison Chamberlain lived at 1817 Franklin avenue, and though entitled to vote from that number found that he had been stricken from the list. The name of Aug. Laffing, who had moved away from 1817 Franklin avenue four months prior to November 1, 1886, was, however, permitted to remain on the books. NAMES OF DEAD MEN, REG- ISTRATIONS FROM LUMBER YARDS AND VACANT LOTS WERE CARRIED ON THE POLLING BOOKS, WHILE LEGAL VOTERS, HOUSEHOLDERS AND OCCUPANTS OF THE SAME PREMISES FOR YEARS WERE STRICKEN OFF OF THE VOTING LISTS. On last election day the following names and addresses appeared on the poll-books of Ninety-seventh Precinct as those of legal voters. Under order of Chief Super- visor Wood, who was acting under the in- struction of the United States Court, the census of this precinct was taken Novem- ber 1 and showed that the books carried THIRTY-SEVEN FRAUDULENT EN- TRIES. | The number of the registration book, name of the person, address and facts in the cases as they appeared from investi- gation November 1, 1886, are given in the following list: | 1.

LEW WALLACE, A Talk With the Author of “Ben Hur” About His Books—New Work. Lew Wallace was at the Planters’ this morn- ing. The author of Ben Hur’’ and ‘The Fair God’’ sat in the hotel office with the mining expert, the up-country politician and „hair boarders’’ reading a morning paper. His heavy overcoat, trimmed with astrakhan, lay on the back of another chair, anda seal- skin cap was drawn down somewhat over a broad forehead. He is in no sort a dilettante in appearance, rather he has the look of a military man, and history knows he won the title of General by gallant service. A gray beard, not white entirely, yet of mod- erate length, softens the lines of his face. He wears gold-bowed spectacles that have worn a deep red line onthe bridgeof the nose. His manner and address is that of a ®an who has had experience with the wor!ld—tull of dignity and courtesy. The author of ‘‘Ben Hur“ has a larger number of readers interested in his personality than any other American writer if Harriet Beecher Stowe be excepted. On the list of; Houghton, Mifflin & Co.’s books, **Uncle Temes Cabin’’ is first in number of sales per annum. The Fair God’’ is second. Harper Bros. have ceased the issuing of editions of Ben Hlur,’’ and are now printing it continuously. The plates are never off the press. The one hundred and forty-second thousand has been passed and the demand is wagrensing rather than diminishing. **There is astory that appears frequently in the reprint ends of papers occasionally to the effect that a conversation with Robert G. Ingersoll induced you to write ‘Ben Hur,“ a reporter remarked in the course of a conver- sation with Gen. Wallace. I have seen several stories and I do not know to which one you refer, but they are all correct in some particulars. Ihad written the firsts book when I met Mr. Ingersoll, and a conversation with him in- duced me to take up a course of study to satisfy myself of the existence of a god and as to the divinity of Christ. I suc- ceeded in convincing myself on both ques- tions, and out of this study came the desire to owe a my book on to the, crucifixion of „But where did the idea come from?’’ From a boy 1 was always attracted by the three or four verses which told of meeting of the Wise Men, and I often won- dered where they came from and what became of them. I imagined many wonderful things about them, and finally wrote that first book. If you will read ‘Ben Hur,’ you will see that with the com- mencement of the second book the narrative begins as most novels do, and the foundation is laid for the incidents that follow.“ is there any historical warrant for the in- citient of the tile falling on the head of Vale- rius Gratus?’’ None at all. It was pure invention.“ „And the discoveries in the prison?“ None except that with the beginning of 4 new Administration it was always customary for the new Governor to investigate the pris- ons so that they might start with as little re- sponsibility as possible.’’ „And Simonides, is be a purely fictitious character?’’ ‘*Eutirely so. I made use of no historical characters except those readily distinguished, I finished the novel in the palace at Santa Ve when I was Governor of New Mexico, That was in 1880. It was offe to Harper Brothers and referred to two readers, both returning very compli- raga reports, but both advised against its publication, as they did not think the pub- lic would take to it. The subject was not one that would make it popular. When it came back from the second reader Joseph Harper, the eldest of the brothers, read the manu- script himself and decided to publish it. It has sold very well. ‘S Are you writing anything now? „Tes, I have something on hand all the time. i carry a pencil and scratch book with me, and whenever! get an opportunity, ina hotel or railroad train—anywhere, I write a little.

Mortey and the Prince of Wales—The Prince Imperul Sensation. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lorpos, January 6.—The round tabie con- ference met again yesterday and sat for three hours, after which its members went to their country places to keep other engagements which will occupy them until after the meet- ing of Pariiament. Morly went straight from the conference to Sandringham to pay his first Visit to the Prince of Wales. What happened fs képt a profound secret. Even the best in- formed profess to not know anything. The general view credited by the press is that the prospects of conciliation sre not regarded as hopeful and that Chamberlain has not seen any Peas0n to change his attitude, On the other hand, I have just received a letter from “one who is an intimate personal friend and political confidant of both Hartington and Chamberlain, from whom have had on pre- vious occasions, information of the first ſin- portance which says: ‘‘I hear the conference Was a great success. Harcourt, at any rate, fs in tremendous spirits this morning. Giad- stone has written expressing his willingness to postpone the question of home rule proper for ayear if his representatives and Cham- berlain can come to an agreement about the Irish land bill.’’ 1 quote this letter with all reserve, as it conflicts with everything else I learn about Gladstone’s state of nfind. THE PRIXCE IMPERIAL’S ILLEGITIMATE SON. The story as to an illegitimate san by an English mother, alleged to have been left by the Prince Imperial when he went to Zululand, fe attract so much attention that the Empress has ordered it to be very carefully investigated. The story, however, of a room m London to which he used to go without the knowledge of his mother or friends, is dis- posed of by a statement, from an intimate friend, that thie was a room in a house over the shop of the hair-dresser of the late Em- peror, and the room was at the service of any old customers for the purpose of changing their dress before going out in the evening, to save trouble of taking a room ‘ata hotel. This, of course, does not dispose of the whele story, but merely one version of the details. „HARD Arr.“ The production ot H. A. Jones’ play, Hard Hit, on Monday night, of which the scene is laid partly at Clapham and partly at a bachel- or’s chambers in London, is awaited with much interest by theater-goers, on account of the controversy which has been raging over the merits his melodrama, ‘‘A Noble Vaga- bond,’’ running at the Prineess Theater. Several leading London critics have de- goribed this as one of the best melo- dramas of modern times. An onslaught was made on it and the author, however, by the Daly Telegraph and Truth, from the pen of one person, and in deference to messe papers, so influential, there was some talk of withdrawing it. But it has been played to increasing houses every night for a fort- night. It seems now on the way to popular puccess, which it certainly deserves. A MIRACLE WORKER. An alleged miracle worker, George Milner Stephen, cousin of Sir James Stephen Leslie Stephen, bas turned up bere. Having been Gonspicuously interviewed, be has taken handsome rooms in a fashionable street, and is apparently reaping a rich harvest out of hundreds of credulous people of all classes.

The Iron Chancellor’s Arguments Indorsed by the French Press. New York, January .—A Parise special to Le Oourrier des Etats Unis says: The dif- ferent speeches delivered by Prince Bismarck in the Reichstag, which have been followed by the rejection of the army bill, havé caused gteat excitement in Paris. All the papers, without exception, approve of Prince Bis- tmarock’s frankness. They discuss the argu- monte he made and consider that they give a reassurance of a general peade in Europe. In the highest political circles this reassurance is also entertained. The National thinks that the danger which Prince Bismarck pointed out, of a war being used eventually by the French Ministry as a diversion from home affairs, isa real danger. As long, it adds, as the Chamber of Depu- ties will pers'st in overtartiifig ministers who have some feeling for the dignity of the country, 60 long will it be possible for am- bditions men who seek to d p their popu- larity in the sacrea flag of Revanche to get into power. , The Liberte does not fear such a result; it Geciares that the strength of those interests which demand peace isso great that, except when it is necessary to defend the territory of the country, pubiic sentiment will be opposed „and would break out into a an aggressive war. The Temps says that Prince Bismarek sup- frontiers, and that as long as she Continues to „ brood over repairing her defeats she will oon - sider nothing has been done, Tuo justice of argument,’’ continued the Temps, ‘is incontestible from a foreigner’s point of view; en see it otherwise.

RUSSIA AND PRINCE NICHOLAS. St. PETERSBURG, January 15.—It is an- nounced in semi-official circles that Russia, having been solicited by the powers to name @ candidate for the Bulgarian throne, designated Prince Nicholas of Mingrelia. Austria stated that any candidate would be acceptable to her, provided he was not a Montenegrin Prince. The reception of the nomination of Prince Nicholas convinced Rus- sia thata preconceived disposition existed to reject it, more because the nomination was advanced by Russia than from any objection to Prince Nicholas personally. Any other candidate that was patronized by Russia would encounter the same difficulty. Hence Russia is not disposed te chose another candi- date, though Europe might possibly accept him. Russia desires that before the candidature of Prince Nicholas be de- cided the regents and their supporters withdraw their opposition to him. and that he be fairly presented tothe Bularian people who shall be allowed to freely decide whether they will accept him or not. Russia will not consider the question of presenting the name of another candidate until the Bulgarians re- ject Prince Nicholas under the conditions mentioned above. South America. CHOLERA EPIDEMIC.

PROBABLECONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION OF PACIFIC BAILROAD CORRUPTION. A Joint Resolution Before the House to Ex- amine the Books, Acceunts and Methods of the Pacific Reads—Judge Holman Discouraged — Opposition to the Logan Pension Bill— Congressional Proceed- ings— Washington News. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPraTou. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 15.—The Pa- cific Railroad Oommittee, which in the past has been so persistent in bringing about the passage ot the Pacific railroad fuad- ing bill, chanBed front to-day and created something of a sensation in the House by refusing to bring up the bill, but instead in- troduced aresolution asking that a commis- sion be appointed to first inves the man- agement of the road and the methods of book- keeping that has prevailed for the past ten years. This that the bill will not session, and that the opponents of the measure have compelled the committee to desist upon rail- roading the bill through. Upon the whole it isa victory for the opponents of the bill, leav- ing the committee in à humiliating position. The Logan Peasion Bill. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 15.—There are indications that the House Committee on In- valid Pensions will report adversely to the Senate bill granting a pension to Mrs. Logan. It having been stated in the pavers of this city that up to the time of his death Senator Logan had received no returns from the sale of his beok, the publishers have sent a statement te the Associated Press, which says that from the time the book was issued up tothe death of the Senator, the publishers had paid about $1,000 a month to the distinguished author. Since the death of Mr. Logan, they state that the sales have been so great that they are unable as yet to figure ap how much is due Mrs. Logan. The Constitutional Celebration. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 15.—The Sen- ate Special Committee on Centennial Celebra- tions held a meeting to-day, and decided with reference to the centennial of the promulgation of the Constitution that the celebration shall consist of an address and some civicand military displays—the details of which are to be settled hereafter. With re- spect to the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America, it was decided to recommend that a joint committee of the two houses be raised to take the subject of an appropriate celebra- tion in 1892 into consideration. Judge Holman Discouraged. By Telegrarh to the Posr-Drer ron. WASHINGTON, D.

He is very much discouraged and says that the general Democratic outiook there is as bad as can be. Investigating the Pacific Roads. WASHINGTON, D. O., January 15.—In the morning hour the House proceeded to the consideration of the joint resolution authoriz- ing an investigation of the books, accounts and methods of the Pacific railroads which have received aid from the United States. * House. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 15. —Mr. Crisp of Georgia presented the conference report on the interstate commerce bill, stating that he did not do so tor the purpose of asking for action upon it at this time, Dut in order that it might be printed in the Record and in bill form. This was ordered;and Mr. Crisp gave notice that he would call up the report at an early day.

Mr. Scott of Pennsylvania, from the Com- mittee on Ooinage, Weights and Measures, re- ported back the Senate bill for the retirement and recoinage of the trade doilar. Committee ofthe Whole. The House then, in the morning hour, re- sumed the consideration of the resolution re- ported by the Committee on Mines and Mining, setting apart Wednesday, January 19, for the consideration of business reported from the committee. After a short discussion upon the merits of the McGarrahan relief bill, the res- olution was, on motion of Mr. Hammond of Georgia, laid on the table. Mr. Richardson (Tennessee) on behalf of the Committee on Pacific Railroads, called up the joint resolution authorizing an investigation of the books, accounts and methods of the Pacific railroads which have received aid from the United States and the House proceeded, in the Committee of the Whole (Mr. Blount of Georgia in the chair), to consider the same. Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio hardly thought it necessary to say anything in favor of the reso- lution. No information had ever been ren- dered to Congress in official form by which it could ascertain the value ofthe security which the Government had for the payment of ite loan to the Pacific railroads. In opposing ihe funding bill the gentleman from Indiana (Holman) had stated that at the end of ten years there would be the surplus of $144, 000.000 of assets of the company over their indebted- ness tothe Government. He assertéd that an examination of the assets would show nota dollar of surplus. Mr. Crisp of Georgia gave notice of an amendment directing an inquiry as to the kind, character, and amount of the assets of such Pacific railroad companies as have re- ceived aid from the Government in bonds, and what assets of each company are now subject to the lien of the Government. Mr. Anderson of Kansas gave notice of an amendment directing an inquiry as to whether any dividends have been unlawfully paid on the capital stock of the Pacific companies and whether any new stock has been issued or any guarantees or pledges made without any authority of law; also to inguire into the facts relating to the ot mar consolidation of the Union Pacific ilroad, the Kansas Pa- cific Railroad Company and the Denver Pacific Railroad Company into an alleged corpora- tion known as the Union Pacifie Railway Com- pany. The morning hour having expired, the committee rose without action. -_ „ — QUIET AND FIRM. The Strike of the Lorillard E mployes—The Coal-Handlers. Jersey Crry, N.

Terese Horn, Ind., January 15.—At 8 o’clock this morning an alarm of fire called the department to tue Terre Haute Distillery, where a fire was found to be raging in the up- per floor of the main building,in which are the wine and beer rooms and the wine vats. It was found impossible to reach the fire with the stream, and for the time being the efforts of the firemen were turned to saving the surrounding buildings from destruction. About one thousand tons of hay are racked in the yard contiguous to the building. The firemen re- DN extinguished the flames which had started in the roofs of dwelling houres adja- cent. The roar of the flames and the hissing of the burning liquor was fearful, The crash- ing of the ponderous vats, the — 2 ap- paratus, the stills and all the network of ma- chinery wus appalling, At 4:30 a. m., the upper floors of the walis of the south wing went down into the seething mass of fire with a thunderous crash that made the groundtrembie. The fire spread downward through the building, and soon the boller- room was burning from end to end; tremen- dous ciouds of sparks and living coals of fire filled the air and were spread broadcast by the wind. Great fears were entertained for the safety of the bonded warehouse, but it was saved from destruction. In the building were not less than 65,600 gal- lons of highwines and 20,000 gallons of low- wines and rectified whisky. A large amount of rye malt and oats were in store also, and about ten thousand bushels of corn. The building is a total wreck. James Nugent, watchman,is supposed to have been buried in the flames, as he cannot be found. Mr. Crawford Fairbanks, principal owner, estimates the loss at $100,000; insurance will aggregate about 70,000. The building will be rebuilt as soon as possible. At 9 a. m. there was nothing standing except one brick wall. The Fire Department still have a number of streams playing on the burning ruins. One year ago this month a boiler explosion at the distillery killed seven men and causcd heavy damage to property. Foundry Burned. Prrrs gon, Pa., January 15.—Fulton & Son’s foundry and machine shops were damaged by fire this morning to the extent of about $4,000. It was the most ex- citing fire that has occurred here fora long time, and several employes were injured while attempting to escape from the burning building. The flames cut off egress from the upper floors and two workmen were compelled to seek safety by the windows. The fire was caused by an explosion of gasoline. Two Blocks Burned. BURLINGTON, Vt., January 15.—Fire broke out on Strong’s block shortly before midnight last night, and the building, with Ethan Allen's engine-house and Samuel Hunting- ton’s block, were totally destroyed. Loss, $50,000; insurance, $30,000. Electric Light Works Burned. PROVIDENCE, R. I., January 15.—Fire this morning at the Rhode Island Electric Light Works did considerable damage to the ma- chinery.

Judge Turpie's argument occupied nearly two and a half hours and was considered exceedingly able and exhaustive. At its conclusion Judge Alex. ©. Ayres said that he would withhold his decision until Monday morning at ¥Yo’clook. There was a well-filled court-room, many prominent poli- ticlans of each of the two parties being present. Ex-Senator McDonald was an attentive listener to the argument of Mr. Turpie. The chief point made by Turvie was that the Constitution only provided for the election of Governor and Lieutenant-Gov. ernor every four years,and that,in case of death, the offices were filled by succession; that these four-year terms were im the nature of a reign, or dynasty, and that vacancies could not be supplied at a biennial election, even though a Governor or Lieu- tenant-Government should die immediately after induction into office. He heid strongly that there had for this session been no election of Lieutenunt-Governor. Judge Ayers’ decision will be followed by an immediate appeal to the Supreme Court, and a final ruling may be Landed down on Tuesday, but this is not probable. Present indications are that two joint conven- tions will be held, and that the Democrats will elect Judge Turpie as Senator andthe Republicans Gen. Harrison. It is not theught the Democrats of the Senate will unseat more than one Republican, and it is probable that action in his case will be de- ferred until Monday. The Senator to be un seuted is W. N. McDonald, who is charged with procuring votes by bribery. BOLD BANDITS, Train Men Have a Desperate Fight with Masked Robbers. PITTSBURG, Pa., January 15.—Five masked robbers boarded a Panhandle freight train near Sheridan Station, just at the outskirts of the city last night, but they were detected in the act of throwing freight from the moving train, and in a desperate fight which ensued Fireman Curley was shot through the right thigh, and a _ brakeman was knocked senseless with a stoné. The train-men then gave up the fight to attend to the injured men and the thieves escaped. The train was loaded with merchandise, and express matter, and when nearing Sheridan tunnel, the engineer noticed that nis train was dragging. Upon investigation it was found that the brakes had been set on three cars. The train was stopped and the rob bers surmising what Was u jumped from the cars. A hand-to-han struggle followed, but the robbers soon gave up the fight and started to run. Fireman Ourley and a brakeman gave chase and were fast rufnin their game down, when the pursued turne upon their purstiers, and while one shot Curley the other knocked the brakeman senseless with astone. The injured men were carried back to the train and their wounds dressed. Curley bied profusely, but was not fatally wounded. Guns, ammunition, etc., which the thieves had thrown from the cars, were found nearly a mile back from the oint where the robbery was discovered. It 8 supposed thatthe brakes were set by the thieves to prevent fast running while they were engaged in distributing their plunder along the road. _ Coroner’s Inquest. James Malin, a wholesale liquor dealer, doing business across the street from the fire, was the first-witness called when the inquest on the remains of A. W.

Mr. Vogel now claims that sum under his power of attorney and he contends that the Public Administrator should not have received it under the circumstances. THE SUFFERING POOR.

SPEAKER ALEXANDER is a misfit. 1 CuarrTer II. ot the story of the election frauds. etn ee Vorers of St. Louis! Read the story of your registration. THE people of St. Louis are beginning to learn why it is that St. Louis casts so small a vote. - -_ 1 — REJOICINGS over the defeat of the rail - road candidates for the Speakership were premature. Tun majority tor the interstate com- merce bill in the Senate exceeded general expectation. Tue bridge bill will not pass. The only thing tobe done is to get upa bridge bill that will pass. - SPEAKER ALEXANDER’S committees are a gevere comment onthe pretences under which he was chosen. Wi believe that St. Louis can show a larger number of dead men voting than any other city of its size in the country. — — — ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR forgeries in the registration from the First Ward is rather a large number of forgeries for one ward. rr COUNSEL Dyer is prepared to „make Rome howl,’’ if necessary, but the chances are that he will make some- one squeal. a — — 9 2 — YEsTERDAY we gave some interesting in- formation about the Second and Tenth Wards. To-day we put the First Ward SENATORIAL opposition has killed the St. Louis bridge bill. St. Louis is treated nearly as badly at Washington City as at Jefferson City. THE Post-DisPaTcH has just begun un- earthing the registration rascality. It proposes to keep on at it until punishment reaches the rascals. _ * — 9 — Fravup, forgery, bogus registration, and fllegal erasures of names of qualified voters; these are the leading features of registration in St. Louis. oo LeGIsLaToR Curtis of the law firm of Portis & Ovrtis, attorneys for Jay Goup, is Chairman of the House Com- mittee on the Judiciary at Jefferson City. — — . e. — — Sou complaint about the lack of recog- nition given to the St. Louis delegation at Jefferson City might be avoided by send- ing a delegation that would compel recog- nition. Do THOSE members of the St. Louis delegation who petitioned for the reten- tion of HOBLITZELLE in the Recordership approve of the way in which he kept his books? 2 Ar attempt from any source to make it appear that politics has anything to do with the prosecution of the election frauds, is an attempt to thwart the prosecution. Fraud has no politics. Peruars Speaker did not know how difficult it is to throw a brick ors chairmanship at the St. Louis dele- gation without hitting somebody who is a railroad attorney either in fact or in ex- pectancy. hae ae Ir Judo Nonmm ts disqualified from sitting in cases of frauds in the election at which he was elected, the bar can choose a Judge for that special instance. But there is no reason why Judge NorMiz should not sit. Tun City Council is compelled to admit that it removed Judge Dentson illegally. The court has reinstated him, but the City, is a converted railroad lawyer, simply a plain railroadlawyer. Mr. Con- Tig should define his position. Senate to Mr. Dran has accepted his appointment as special counsel to prosecute the election frauds, but itis reported from Washing- ton that no further assistance will be given him and that he will have to con- duct the prosecutions single handed. If this is the decision of the Depart- ment of Justice it would be just as well for the confirmation of Basnaw until after the trials, and to allow Mr. BLiss to carry on the work which he has thus far conducted satisfactorily. Unless the whole resources of the Dis- trict Attorney’s office are placed at the disposal of the prosecution it is almost hopeless to expect sucoess. With any in- fluence of the District Attorney’s office interested in thwarting the attempt to bring the election rascals to justice defeat would be certain. To appoint Mr. DrEras Assistant Dis- withhold the trict Attorney and then to deprive him of decency. the resources of that authority which he is expected to assist, ould bea cynical mockery of justice; it would convert the whole proceeding into a farce and bring the cause of election reform into con- tempt. We trust that we on to denounce any such violation of thwart the prosecution now would be a worse crime on the part of the Department of Justice than any crime which the prosecution at- tempts to punish. Yet we must confess that it looks very much as if sinister in- fluences at Washington were working to produce just some such result, not be called Fortunately the true situation has been laid before the Cabinet and the Senate. THE CITi’S SOLDIERS. Nobody grudges the pension paid to the If the President allows the Department of Justice to carry on these prosecutions in such a way astothwartthe ends of jus- tice he will doit with his eyes open. If the Senate allows this to be done witha full knowledge of the circumstances, it will surrender one of its high privileges and converta bulwark of justice intoa protection for crime. 19 maimed soldier. Nobody denies the claim of the slain soldier’s helpless widow and orphans upon his country’s gratitude. But the soldier’s is not the only perilous and noble duty in which men daily risk life or limb to save the lives and property of others. Within a month past two firemen were crushed by falling walls at a fire in Phila- more. delphia, and several more were killed by the fall of a ladder at a flre in Balti- The companies of men engaged daily and nightly in fighting fire in our cities are not large, and no appalling rec- ord of casualties impresses the danger of their work upon the public mind. is doubtless true that proportionally more of them are killed or disabled for life every year than of soldiers in time of war. The thunder of drums, trumpets, ‘‘the noise of the captains and But it the blare of the shouting, the glory and the sweet madness with man while all the world looks on— of battle“ where man strives all these nerve the soldier to his duty and mitigate the pangs of death on the battle- field. Butthe firemen who daily brave death in far more horrible and appalling forms have no such accessories to nerve them to their work, andit is a shame to any community served by them that they cannot even in their dying agonies have the consolation of knowing that a pension pittance willsave their bereaved families from utter destitution. Public sentiment in their behalf has been awakened and pension funds pro- vided for them in the leading American cities. and St. Louis will never permit her- self to be pointed out as the only first- class city which withholds such provision. It is known how our firemen have suffered in the recent bitterly cold weather, and that the Pension and Relief Fund to be raised forthem is but a trifle compared with the value of the property their prompt and dutiful exertions have saved in that time. _ FRENCH'S DISCOVERIES. The country is indebted tothe New York WoRLD for another startling expose of By pushing the sale of tick- ete to the Firemen’s ball on the 26th, their friends can insure the accumula- tion of the required amount. the dealings of the Pacific Railroads with the Government. It is a startling and suggestive thing that such official infor- mation, long in possession of the Govern- ment and accessible to both houses of Congress, can be kept in the background, and that all suits and investigations with reference to it can be suppressed while a bill is pending to ratify such enormous swindles; to cover them with oblivion and to crown the efforts of the swindlers with a Pacifico Debt Funding bill which is prob- ably the most gigantic swindle they have ever tried to perpetrate with the consent of the Government. But there are the transcripts of over $2,000,000 entered as legitimate expendi- tures by the officers of the Central Pacific, but rejected by THEOPHILUS FRENCH dur- ing the three years he served as Commis- sioner and Auditor of Pacifico railroad ao- counts, and there is the fact that HuntT- Council last night refused te him his iInaTow and Staxrorp submitted to the ~ rejection rather than explain what was done with the money, $783,000 of which * salary for the period during which be was 3 maegally kept out of office. . * . ms was entered in sums ranging from $5,000 c is some uncertainty as to whether | to $171,000 as expended by the railroad’s Mr. nau Curtis, the Chairman of the | President, LELanp Sraxronb, who is now . 8 1 1 ‘ "a ‘44 hfs As „ .

To ignore such suggestive revelations and pass the Pucific Debt Funding bill without any further scrutiny of Pacific Railroad affairs, and without any motion to rectify or rebuke the monstrous wrongs which the managers of those roads have perpetrated in defiance of publio justice, would be so gross an out- rage upon common sense and common decency that we cannot believe the pres- ent House capable of doing any such thing. PROTECTING VOTERS. Gov. PaTTIson of Pennsylvania in his last message to the Legislature refers to sundry devices and expedients for destroy- ing the secrecy of the ballot and enabling employers or vote-buyers to spot“ and intimidate voters at the polls, Where it is lawful to use election tickets of a great variety of shapes, sizes or colors the use of tickets of some particular shape, size or color renders entirely practicable the ‘‘spotting’’ that is necessary to control the voting of employes or the casting of bribed votes. To secure greater inde- pendence to the voter and at the same time to render vote-buying more impracticable, Gov. PaTTISON recom- mends that the law be so amend- ed as to require that all election tickets shall be of a uniform size and color prescribed by law. Our Missouri law pro- vides against misleading headlines, and that each election ticket shall be ‘‘a piece of white paper, but leaves ample room. for ‘‘spotting” by the use of tickets of dif- ferent sizes, and it is notorious that, with- out fear of the law, means can be and are safely and successfully, used to compel men to deposit the tickets that are placed in their hands. For the opportunities of fraud inseparable from the so-called se- cret ballot system, that system yields no compensation unless the seoresy of the ballot is so guarded as to be absolutely inviolable, and the Legislature should guard it with effective regulations and protect the freedom of the voter with se- vere penalties. — . —j—ñĨ — WHERE a party polls for years not only a minority but even less than a plurality of the lawfully polled votes in a State, yet keeps control of the Legislature of that State, its government may be republican in form, but certainly is not in spirit or in fact. New York has had a long succession of Democratic Governors elected by the people, while the Legislature has re- mained Republican by a large majority. The districts have been so gerrymandered that the Legislature was bound to represent the minority rather than the majority or even a plurality of the votes polled. In Connecticut a similarly constituted Legislature is not only authorized by the Constitution of the State to thwart the declared will of the people in matters of legislation, but to elect as Governor the candidate whom the people have just rejected for that office by a plurality of over 3,000 votes. To guard against the election of a Governor by a minority vote, the Constitution of the State absurdly provides that a plurality, when less than a majority, shall not count, and that a Legislature which does not repre- sent even a plurality may, in such case, elect the candidate who has been most plainly rejected by the people. 0 — — — INA labored effort to make it appear that Illinois is growing in population as rapidly as Missouri is the Chicago Tribune credits the increased population of Kansas City to Kansas. There is just as much reason for crediting the population of St. Joseph, Springfield, Carthage and Jop- lin to Kansas, and the population of St. Louis to Illinois. If Mis- souri has been such a sour step- mother’’ to her cities that they should be taken from her, why is it that the largest cities persist in growing on the Missouri side of the line all around her borders? Both Kansas City and St. Joseph are far ahead of any city on the Kansas side of the line, and even the great State of Ili- nois has failed in all of her attempts to build up a rival to St. Louis anywhere on her Mississippi River front. — Tue Senate mustered thirty-six votes against, to twenty-five votes for, the indi- rect murder of the Interstate Commerce bill by recommittal, and then agreed to the conference report by a vote of forty-five to fifteen. Quite a number of Senators shrunk from a test which did not admit of any quib- bling. The Democrats who voted with the twenty-five were BROWN of Georgia, Hampton of South Carolina, MORGAN of Alabama and Pax of Ohio. BROWN, HaMpPpTON and Payne remained with the fifteen after even Paywne’s col- league, Mr. SHERMAN, had gone over to the majority. Brown and PayNE area pair of Democratic millionaires who are generally found on the side of the cor- porations in every division. -~ — — — So IT seems that there | are some traces of O’Day’s influence in the composition of the committees at Jefferson City after all. or too much reason for suspecting that this where a scoundrel has committed a hun- dred and fifty forgeries, the Judge be- lievesin giving him a hundred and fifty sentences. The forgers of the First Ward registration lists would do well to paste this in their hats. nn ~ _— —_—_ FOREIGN ECHOES. THE event of the week in Europe has bean the discussion of the army bill, which pre- ceded the dissolution of the German Reich- stag, especially the speech of Bismarck. As every newspaper has noticed the speech, a vote on its meaning would prove very inter - esting, one-haif of the able editors showing that the speech means war while the other half are prepared to show that it means peace. It undoubtedly means an increase of the army for Germany, acorresponding increase for France, a pur- chase of Mannlicher rifles for Austria, a roll- ing-up of sleeves in Italy, anxious expecta- tions in Switzerland, and grim gatherings of the legions of the Colossus of the North. THE speech certainly served notice on France of what Germany would do in the event of that big war, say in 1890, in comparison with which the war of 1870 was mere child’s play. In describing the possibilities of a German defeat he said Germany would have to deal with the same French who had ruined them from 1807 to 1813, and who would permanently weaken thé Empire. This means, of course, that if Ger- many is victorious she would treat France justas France would have treated Germany. The demand to give up Hanover would be met by a demand to give up French territory, and France would be permanently disabled.“ There is no mistaking the meaning of this. OnE of the interesting features ofthe dis- turbance is the report thatthe Pope and the Papal Court will, in case of war, move to Monaco. There is probably nota grain of truth in the report, but the mere suggestion of a removal of the Papacy turns the mind back to the period when Avignon and not Rome was the residence of the head of the Catholic Church. If the Pope should need money to pay the costs of removal, he has been informed by the Italian Government that the accumulations of his untouched annuity now amount to some $10,000, 000. THE rejection ofthe billand the immediate dissolution of the Reichstag bring us face to face with the threat thatthe rejection of the bill would mean war. Bismarck is not accus- tomed to talk for mere buncombe, and in a speech intended for all Europe he must have weighed his words well. He also knew that the Reichstag would reject the bill, and it remains to be seen whether this threat was a prophecy orabiuff. A few weeks will see a new Reichstag elected, which is ex- pected to be equally stubborn and then the European crisis will be intensified. THERE is nothing but military news from Europe. Even England’s Government is shaped by warlike currents. Lord Randolph Churchill leaves the Cabinet because he does not approve of Salisbury’s army estt- mates and Austrian alliances; Lord Iddesleigh is dismissed from office to heaven to make room for Salisbury’s foreign policy. In France the Simplon tunnel project is set aside for the St. Bernard tunnel on account of the superior strategic advantages of the latter, and the progress of the century is marked by France tunneling a road to Italy under tnat pass over which Napoleon rode on a mule when he abolished the Alps.

HANOVER, Pa., January 7, 1887. Receivers of the P. q R. R. R. Co. GENTLEMEN: I herewith return to you the railroad pass so kindly proffered me by your General Manager for the following reasons: First—I find in article VII, section 1, of the new State Constitution, which was part of the oath administered to me, the following: 1 will support, obey and defend the Constitu- tion of this Commonwealth; that I will not knowingly receive directly orindirectly, any money or other valuable thing other than the compensation allowed by law. Second—I also nd in article XVII., section 8, of the new Constitution the following: No railroad, railway or other transportation company shall grant free passes, or passes at a discount, to any persons except officers or employes of the company. Hence, I cannot consistently accept any free passes over any railroad. Respectfully yours, I. C. DELLONE. A Mansion and a Parrot. From the Chicago News. Col. F. B. Stockbridge, who has just been elected United States Senator in Michigan, has one ofthe finest private residences in the West. He is ratherahale and hearty man himself, and doesn’t care much for the fash- lonable or the luxurious. However, just to please the home folks, he spent a cool $100,000 on the Kalamazoo mansion. Shortly after the completion of this splendid edifice he invited one of nis old friends, a Michigan horseman, to inspect the premises. After looking at all the fine things this friend said : ‘‘Wa’al Frank, you’ve gota mighty fine house here, and I reckon there's nothin’ more you want. **Yes,’’ answered Stockbridge, ‘‘I suppose tis very recherchy. but there's just one other thing that’s lackin’.’’ What's that?’’ asked the visitor. A parrot, said Stockbridge. A parrot!’’ cried the visitor. Now what on airth do you want of a parrot, Frank?“ Id Uke to have him set right up over the front door,’’ said Stockbridge, ‘‘so that every time he saw me he’d flop his wings and holler: Here comes that —— fool agin!’ ’’ Bounties All Round. From the Boston Herald. The Hiscock revenue bill does not go far enough. Instead of selecting the raisers of cane, sugar, beets and sorghum to be ex- pressly favored, all sorts of producers should be paid bounties. The New England farmers Pending the Speakership contest, the Post-DisPaton suggested that the proof of the pudding would be in the eating, | and that, no matter which candidate should be chosen, only the final result of the session would show whether O’ Day is | need bounties on Indian corn, potatoes, rye, wheat, bops and beans. Blacksmiths ought to have bounties for making horseshoes. News- papers should come in forashare. Daily news- papers ought to have a cent on every copy sold, and weekly newspapers2cents. Olergy- men, lawyers and doctors, architects and teachers, horse railroad men, flremen and policemen, do not make so mach money as still running the concern or not. Per- haps a consciousness of the fact that they are to be jealoudly watched may haye an educational effect on some rather unprom- ising committees. ea — ——— a _— a - Jupax Tunar has on previous occasions they could use. Let us all have bounties or pensions. The President’s Presents. From the Indianapolis Sentinel. **People generally have very little idea how many presents the President really does ac- cept,’’ said a merchant the other day. 1 imposed cumulative sentences. That is, * * 1 * .. know be refuses 4 great many, and keeps ‘shat she suffered from was in not having her London, within the bounds of propriety, but a large number of trinkets of more or less value find alodgment at the White House or Oak View. Within a year they aggregate no inconsider- able sum. Many of the presents are unique. The other day W. w. Kirby, bailiffinthe Dis- trict Court, presented to tne President for his country home a set of old bedroom furniture which has been in the family for more years than the memory of man runneth back. The presentation was made through Marshal Wil- son. The bedstead was of mahogany and of antique design—so antique that it was pat- terned in the dark ages. A great many nice little keepsakes go to Oak View from every part ot the country nowadays, and they all make a collection which the President will highly prize some day. Von Moltke in Battle. * From the London Daily News. Since Moltke’s important speech at the Reichtag the papers are full of anecdotes re- lating to the Generel, and the following is one of them, related by Bismarck: ‘‘When on the eve of war even Moltke becomes talkative, and when we marched in 1870 he at onve grew ten years younger, spoke with vivacity, took pleasure in champagne and choice cigars, and lost all his pedantry acquired while resting on the laurels he had gained in 1866. During the battle of Konigsgratz, when victory was doubtful for hours, Bismarck approached Moltke, tormented by doubts and fears as to the result of the terrible struggle. Moltke sat silent on his black steed. He was observing the course of the battle, and it was impossible to attract his attention. But Biemarck had a little case in his pocket containing two cigars, one of excellent, the other of inferior quality. He offered the case to Moltke, and, without speaking, the General took it, examined the two cigars, and chose the good one without thanks. But Bismarck understood him. He put spurs to his horse and cheerfully returned to his post, for, thought he, if Moltke is still able to make choice of a cigar with such calm- ness of mind it means that all is going on well.“ Van Wyck’s Palace. From the Chieago Herald. The railroad interest in Nebraska, which is inimical to Senator Van Wyck, is circulating a clever photograph of his Washington pal - ace’’ in the hope that it will beat him. The picture is so taken as to represent two or three other houses, and a stranger might think they were all one structure. In truth, how- ever, the Senator’s mansion cost $17,000 in- stead of $200,000, as is alleged, and on warm days it is said that he maybe seen out on the porch in his shirts sleeves, with his ‘‘galluses’’ hanging down, just as if he was at home in Nebraska. A photograph of him in this attitude would do much to offset the evil effects of the other one. 1 1 MEN OF MARE. PROF. DAUNDORF, the German sculptor, is making a bust of Bismarck. ABRAM S. HEWITT tis still confined to his room with an attack of rheumatism. FRANCOIS BOUVIN, the French genre painter, has become blind. He has painted forty years.

DON CARLOS, the Spanish pretender, is very tall, broad-shouldered and strikingly hand- some. He keeps up a miniature court at Venice, where he is now living. THERE is a probability that the Duc a’Aumaie will be recalled from exile, as the French Academy is going to petition for a rey- ocation of the decree against him. GEORGE W. CHILDS hasbeen sitting up for two days, although still confined to his room, and he may be regarded as out of all danger of serious results from his recent fall. ANENT Lord Tennyson’s bitter reference to **the suffrage of the plow’’ in his latest poem, it is recalled that less than three years ago he made one of his rare appearances in the House of Lords expressly to vote for the franchise bill, which gave Hodge the ballot. H. WAGNER of Boston sent nine carrier pig- eons to London in October, where they were given their freedom. Three have reached home. One went direct to Boston, one was found near New York, and the third on the summit of the Alleghany Mountains. THE Pall Mall Gazette is not an admirer of Lord Randolph Churchill. The late Chancel- lor of the Exchequer, according to the Pall Mall, is a political Fiibberty-Gibbet, whose mind is as nimble as a lively mouse in a windy barn, and who is the most reckless of political gamblers.“ MICHAEL DAVITT says he will sail for Ireland on the 20th inst., to get there, he hopes, be- fore all his friends are putin prison. When asked what he proposed to do after his arrival in London be replied, somewhat laconically: „Talk, write; and if there is any fighting go- ing on and I can beof service I propose to take a hand. GEORGE R. FROST, a rich citizen of Cairo, has worn the same hatfor twenty-six years. The other day while he was getting shaved some one stole it and put a new one in its place, and Mr. Frost got out warrants for four or five persons, paid a private detective $15 to work up the case, and will do his best to teach his neighbors to mind their own bus! - ness.

THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. New YORK, January 15.—The WORLD says: „„The passage of the interstate commerce bill in the Senate, by the decisive vote of 43 to 15, is a triumph ofthe people over the corpora- tions, the pool makers and the stock gam- blers. The bill itself may not be either per- fect or adequate in all its details. Undoubt- edly itis not. But there is sufficient discre- tion given to the Governmental agents and enough adjustability in the provisions of the bill to insure against any great injustice or harm tothe railroads. The important thing was to assert the power of the people over the corporations tha they have created for their service, but which have proved in too many instances instruments of oppression and ex- tortion. The bill does this. It proclaims that the master has not yet abdicated to the sery- ant. Itis gratifying to note that the Senate of the United states is occasionally responsive to the will of the people. THE SUN. The Sun says: ‘‘It is reported that Inasmuch as Mr. Randall opposed Col. Morrison’s bill, Col. Morrison is determined to resist the enactment ofthe scheme to reduce taxation which is to be presented by Mr. Randall. There is one great difference between the plans of these two revenue reformers, which should cause Col. Morrison to refrain trom treating that of his fellow-reformers in the manner ex- —— Col. Morrison’s bill could not have een passed and be followed by Democratic success in 1888. Mr. Randall’s plan, on the other hand, can be adopted, and still the Democrats can winin the next National can- vass. Furthermore, ifit does not pass, it is difficulg tosee how a Republican victory in 1888 cafi be prevented. If the Democrats have serious thoughts of retaining what control of the Government they already enjoy, they will do well to think these facts over carefully.’’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: Tue debate in the Senate over the interstate commerce bill ended late last night in the passage of the measure by a vote of 48 to 15. he size of the majority will surprise most people. From the Tribune’s point of view, the success of this billie to be regretted. In our — 4 — it is nota wise meusure, and we believe that it will disappoint the people who supported it. It will probably cause less harm than its enemies expect; it will certainly do less to — out the wishes of its projectors than they anticipate.’’ THE TIMES. The Times says: Tue truth is that the taxes on whisky and tobacco are only the remnant of an extraordinary and most comprehensive system of internal taxation, devised during the war to pay war expenses, and almost en- tirely swept away after the war was ended. But with that system of internal taxation was established a scheme of taxation on imports which depended upon it. The import taxes were war taxes, but after the internal taxes, upon which they depended and with which they were linked had been swept away, they were retained. They exist to-day and are most emphatically war taxes.’’ ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS, JANUARY.—Louise Alcott is still living. O. W. 3.— Three acres square’’ is nine acres.

An Interesting Statement of Facts by Mr, hilus French, Formerly Commig, sioner and Auditor of Pacific Railroad Accounts—Over 82,000,000 of Improperly Disbursed Accounts Rejected — Senator Stanford’s Expenditure of $733,810.70 1, Influence Legislation—Huntington’s Lit. tle” Account. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPatcar. New York, January 15.—The Worrp lishes to-day eight colamns of an — of the doings of the Pacific lobby during the 15 with figures and names of the paid agen ot the corporations at Washington. The Whole story is summed up in the introductiog a, follows: Theophilus French was for eight of the principal accountants in the He was Gen. Spinner’s Chief of Acc ntants, He was for three years Commissioner ang Auditor of Pacific Railroad accounts. }, organized that bureau and drafted the lay which gave it its present authority. ur. French assisted Mr. Thurman wuen the latter succeeded in passing through Congress a law known as the Thurman act to compel the Pacific Railroads to take some steps to meet their obligations to the Government. When Mr. French was at the head of the last-mentioned office he made 3 thorough examination of the books of the Cen- tral Pacific and Union Pacific roads. Mr. French was given his place in the Interior De. partment on account of his superiority as an accountant. Having expert knowledge, ac. quired during his eight years of official work, he was able to bring to the examination of the Pacific Railroad’s accounts unusual require. ments and accurate powers of discernment, He made during the three years he was audi. tor more thorough examinations of the books than have ever since been made by any andi. tor. During his three years of official service he rejected in the accounts of the Pacific Raliroads over $2,000,000 as having been improperly dis. bursed. These rejected accounts need a brief explanation in order to fully comprehend them. Underthe Thurman act 2 per cent of the net earnings of the subsidized roads has to be paid into the Treasury of the United States toward wiping out the debt due tne Government In order to arrive at the correct amount of the net earnings it is important to scrutinize closely the items of money dis- bursed. Money improperly disbursed cannot be deducted. Mr. French found in the short time that he was in the office accounts to the sum just named which the railroad officials would not explain. This was the manner of their discovery : THE DISCOVERY. Mr. French, in running through the ac- counts, would und an itemof large expend. iture in the name of C. P, Huntington, Leland Stanford, or other prominent representatives ofthe road. The sum would be on the books without explauation. Mr. French would ask: What is the meaning of this expenditure? For what was the money paid out? There are no vouchers here. In no instance was an explanation ever offered in the list of accounts rejected by him. Mr. French warned the rall- road officials thatif the accounts were not ex- plained they would have to be rejected. In several instances the officers of the road withdrew and consulted about explaining the items questioned, but refused to explain For the first time these accounts are given to the public. The large amounts in this ac- count indicate a most reckless expenditure of money and demand an investigation. Tho Government is entitled to 25 per cent of this . if properly expended. It is a part ot the history of these roads’ operations in Washington that suit was ordered to be brought against them by French, when he was Auditor, to recover money alleged to bave been illegally expended. But through the Department of Justice prosecu- tion failed and was never heard of. he total ofthe rejected accounts running througha eriod from November 6, 1869 to December 31, 0, reaches the enormous sum of 51,986, 516.80. The amount disbursed by Leland Stan- ford alone, the present Senator from Calafor- nia and which henever soughtto expiain, reaches the enormous aggregate of $733,810.07. Huntington’s unexplained disbursements during that time were $675,900.80. Under the head of legal expenses direct were a number of large items which were also disallowed. The amount of legal expenses rejected were $187,564.43. This makes a total over $2,000,000 of rejected accounts. OFFICIALLY CORROBORATED, The story is important because, among other reasons, it comes from an official source. It represents the result of Mr. French's in- spection, and the correctness of his examina: tion is further attested by a prominent official now actually employed under the Govern- ment, who assisted him in woking the examinations of these books and who helped him to take off the items of the disallowed ac- counts. In this connection itis interesting to read through the letters of Mr. Huntington, which were brought out in the latter part ot 1883, in the famous suit brought by Mrs. Col- ton against C. P. Huntington. It will be re- membered that these letters to a great degree covered a period when Ur. Huntington was working very earnestly in the interest of legislation at Washington. These letters, published ata time when there was no particular legisiation pending, did not appear to have very much point, but viewed in connection with the disallowed accounts they have much more point and meaning. If the Pacific roads were ready then to pour out money like waterto carry out their purposes it is reasonable to conclude that they have not ay changed, and that the pending legis- lation in Congress to-day, in their interest, s backed up by the same class of arguments and manipulations as those so elogquentiy de- scribed by Mr. Huntington in his letters to Friend Colton. POINTED COMMENTS. Commenting on this the WORLD guys: Sen- ators of the United States will find in the WORLD to-day facts and figyres which should cause them to pause and reflect before grant- ing seventy years more oblivion to the Pacific Road's debts and accounts. The corporations are practically 8 with the Government in the ownership of the great properties which they control. They have obtained 4 magnificent domain and invaluable franchises from the people. Their projectors are many millionaires. The companies owe to the Gov- ernment a large amount of money, the payment of- which they seek to evade on the plea of inability.

For this reason | think that the League will do well to * club in the Association. THE NEW PITCHING RULE. A great deal of misinformation bas been pub- lished about the new pitching rule, which is to govern the game this year, says an expert. About two out of every three papers which have observed the rule have done it on the theory that both feet must be on the ground when the ball leaves the pitcher’s band; and that the left foot must be kept to the left of a real line drawn through the middle of the box. The facts in the prem.- ises are these: The right foot must be laced on the rear line of the ox when the position is taken, and the left foot must be placed to the left of an imaginary line from the right foot to the center of the home plate. Thisimaginary line does not necessarily run throagh the center of the box, but can take a diagonal course, ac- cording to the position of the right foot—as it may bein either of the rear corners of the box, as well as on the center part of the right line. The objectof this imaginary line pro- vision is to prohibit the practice most itchers have of throwing the lett oot around so far as to partially turn their backs to the batter. When the ball is delivered the pitcher can raise bis right foot at any time, but the moment he does raise it the delivery begins and the base- runner can be off. He must take but one step forward, but can make that step a jump if be desires, and have his right foot completely away trom the rear line when the ball leaves his hand. This can be best illustrated by the peculiar delivery of Mullane. In his double step and ump he always delivers the ball with his left oot on the ground and the right foot elevated considerably. Again, the practice so many —1— have assumed of concealing the all behind them before delivering is prohib- ited, and they are forced to bold it fairly in front of their bodies in plain sight of the um- pire. Pechiney, Caruthers, Foutz, Hecker and Lynch were good examples of the pitchers who hid the dall“ before delivering it, the object being to prevent the batter from getting his eyes on it until it was fairly on the way to the bat. Such pitchers as young Hart of the Athletics will not be affected by this provision of the rule, since he holds it squarely in front of his face before delivering, as though taking deliberate aim. Again, the rule radically dif- fers from that in use last year by the American Association in thatit permits the movement of the left foot in throwing to bases, but not the right, while last season the right could be lifted from the ground, but not the left. In other words the pitcher pivoted on the left foot last season, but must pivot on the right foot this season. ABOLISHING THE 8LIDE. Perhaps it has not been generally observed, but itis a fact nevertheless that this new- fangied pitching rule will abolish a practice which had became ap almost indispensable at- tachment to most of the players on the Brown Stocking Club, namely the slide. No more, under the new regime will Latham be heard to cry; ' Now. Commy, get a good, long slide there; no more will the guardians of the geo- ond and third bag on opposition teams stand ball in hand to regard with pain the chap in pose socks clutching the base with extended nd. Under the new regime the good base- runners wiil virtually walk to second, and it was no doubt in anticipation of the coming r . ceased to prac- ce an nh which they w expert. y were becoming 60 THE YOUNG BLOOD IDEA. Mr. O. P. Caylor, the able base ball writer of Cincinnati, is engaged in the commendable effort to impress upon the minds of the man- agers of the Porky City Club the necessity of discrimination in contracting with ball play- ers for the season of 1887. Mr. Caylor inti- mates, that with the barrels of young blood on board the club, the Cincinnatis will wind up in the fifth notch. Cleveland, by the way which will carry a full cargo of dry bones. has high ambitions and even counts on passing (innatl in the race. Presideat Stern may verightin his theory that among eighteen youngsters there cannot butbe at least four phenomenons, but the chances are im- measurably against him. nm BLACKLISTED BURNS. President Day of New York Will Endeavor to Secure Him. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcn. NEW York, January 15.—At the last meeting of the Arbitration Committee on base ball the question arose as to whether Tom Burns, the third baseman of the Newark Club, should play with the Baltimores or New York Club. The New York Club has a personal contract with him, while the Baltimore Olub has a club contract. The decision of the committee was that botn contracts were worthless, and that Burns should stand sue become a League Club the rs of the National agreement will be begin How? I'll tell you.

Sylvester accompanied him, and they will take up their residence in St. Louis for the winter. Sylvester is a little taller than Robin- son and weighs about 140 pounds. Hels re- Gossip of the Rail. The players in Schaefer’s 14-inch balk- line tournament are not in the best of humor. That isto say, the majority of them are not satisfied with the way in which the games are going, and not a few vigorous objections have been made very recently to the distribu- tions of the handicaps. ‘‘I notice,’’ said Cat- ton to-day to a reporter for the Posr- Dis- PATCH, ‘‘that somebody says I’m quitting. Well, all I gotto say about that is that a man don’t need to quit when the games are given uway on bim. To show you how they work, I have made bets on twent games played up to date an I've lost every one of them. And I'ma bill- lard player, too, and I ain't crazy. The handicapper talked so much to us, explaining how he made the handicaps, that he is now in bed suffering with quinsy. He held out one week and then threw ip his hands. LAST NIGHT'S GAMEs. Gallagher and Hatiey played the first game last night in the bulk-line tournament, Hatley receiving 75 points. Gallagher wun, making 800 in 19 innings. His average was 15 15-19. Hatley scored 232. The second game was be- tween Brown and Reid, Brown receiving 400 and Reid 135. Brown won by eight points. THE TOURNAMENT.

Catton and Hatley played at balk-line,tourn- ament odds, Catton 270 to Hatley’s 225, for $50, Catton winning. Ullman and Gallagher played 100 points for $50 at cushion carroms, and on this occasion the Chicago man was defeated. Schaeter is — daily for the coming 15- ball pool match with Henry Claes, alias „Plug. Jake is getting in great form. Cole Uliman played two games, cushion car- roms, with Magnus, who allowed him 30 per cent ju 100. Ullman won both games, which were for $20 a side each. Among the many who managed to take a memento from the three-cushion champion was Eugene Carter, who defeated him at his own game, 20 points, for $10. L. L.

The exhibition of fancy billiards given at the St. Louis Club last night by Jacob Schaefer and Louis Shaw was well attended. Schaefer won easily in a game at balk-line rules, 200 points, and was defeated by Shaw in a game of bank billiards, 25 pointsup. Prof. Shaw then gave an exhibition of marvelous shots with cue and fingers. After the entertainment an elegant lunch was served. It is told of Louls Reid that when he was in- troduced to Hatley a short time ago he re- oe him with considerable curiosity. atiey, although an old player, is extremely youthful in personal appearance and it was this which puzzied Reid. After a moment of careful examination Louis suddenly broke out, Oh, yes; you're Old Waukegan. Don’t you — n played against you away back in Bowling.

John Lad 31 MRS. C. WILCUS. Sr. LOUIS. January 15. 1887. This is to certify that I, Jane McIntosh, ama col- ored girl and that I have worked asa servant for Mrs. C. Wilcus for nearly one year, and certain parties claim and have published that Mrs. C. Wilcus hada colored girl. as well as her nephew, to assist her as a fortune-teller by their conversing and talking through abrass ball. Such statements are false, I never speaking a word through said brass ball. and I never said one wrong word against Mrs. Wilcus, but, on the contrary, I have always praised her, because 1 was ina great deal of trouble and had her to give me advice in What to do. Ihad a good home while I re- mained there with my two children, and I say to those who are in trouble ofany kind go direct to Mrs. Whlcus and there receive the good advice and teach- ings of an intelligent and honest lady, and if you fol- low her instructions 180 will never go astray or be- come a sianderer. It is a falsehood that I stated there was some one ta the garret to assist her in tell- ing fortunes, and the oue who published that card in the papers published a lle. Mrs. Wilcus never de- ceives you, and if she cannot do you any good she will tell you so at once. I am the colored girl they say assisted Mrs. Wilens. I Wyed with rs. Dr. Eddy, the fortune-teller. and worked for two others; butI never, in all my experience, found one who could do the work or equal Mrs. Wlilcus in the art of telling one’s past, present and future events of one’s life, and any party who states that while I lived with Mrs. way that I stated anything but what was in praise of Mra. Wilcus makes a false statement, and, again, to those in trouble of anv kind, should cali upon the most reliable and trustworthy of them all, for she will not humbug you outof your money, and any one who wishes to see me can call upon Mrs. C. Wilcus and get my address for further statements. I do not * there is a better-hearted lady alive n Mrs. O. Wilcus of 1400 Olive — JANE ** MCINTOSH, Mark MARY MCAVOY.

The market showed no sign of breaking, offerings were light and a heavy snow was failing. Shorts began to come in and prices advanced, principally on their buy- ing, which was not heavy.

A DANGEROUS PET. Mir. Samuels Ritten by His Pet Dog, Dies of Hydrophobia. ,Curcaco, January 15.—Mr. 8. Samuels, a Polish Jew living at No. 64 Liberty street, was bitten in the finger by a pet bog belonging to him about three menths ago. The wound was not considered a serious one at the time of its infliction as the dog’s teeth produced so slight an abrasion of the skin as to merely draw the blood. Wednesday night Mr. Samuels complained of feeling ill, but no importance was attached to tne mat- as he had forgetten the ocircum- ances of the injury. Thursday morning he re- fused to get up, and manifested symptoms of nervous trouble.

The commencemert exercises of the St. Louis High School Literary Society took place at the High School yesterday afternoon. The programme was opened with an overture by the High School Orchestra, of which Mr. Nathan Sacks is leader. The orchestra is com- posed of High School talent, and it is deserv- ing of much praise. Mr. Paul M. Miller, the President, then made a short address, com- menting on the „ condition and pros- pects. This was follewed by an oration, **ambition,’’ by Mr. William B. Hance. A eo On ‘*Nanon’’ was played M ne O. Brockmeyer, who all the airs with preat cleverness. Mr. Sacks’ reading, The Adventures of Bishep Potts,“ was well re- ceived. The orchestra gave another selec- tion, and this was followed by a recition, ‘‘A Kiss in the Dark,’’ by Mr. S. A. Abeles. A vocal solo by Miss A. E. Helmers was received with eat applause, and the young lady elded to the applause of the audience the endition of anether selection. An address y Prof. W. J. 8.

Aronson, Kan., January 15.—A dispatch received last evening states that the parties arrested for and charged with the Dunbar (Neb.) train wrecking have made a full con- fession. The men are Dan Heffman, a farmer Ming near Umadilia, and Jim Bell, un- known in this vicinity. The men made contradictory statements uatil embarrassed by the testimony of Hoffman's wife, whosaw them coming from the direction of the wreck before it pappened, a@ fact for which they failed to account. They then broke down and confessed, saying that they threw the train from the track for rob- y, but the enormity of their crime and the resence of 60 many passengers uninjured tened them away.

THE REALISTIC “CULT” THE FLESHLY SCHOOL ILLUSTRATED BY MISS EASTLAKE’S GREEK COSTUMES. The Sensuocusness of Fine Physique and Clinging Fabrics—Argument for an Anti- Whalebone Cenvention—“‘Clito’s” Lesson in Stage Art—Wlisen Barrett as an Actor— His New Hamlet and the Impressions It Makes—The Bensberg Operatic Perform- ance—Annourncements for Next Week—The Hat Reform Gossip About Piays and Players—Coulisse Chat. The ‘‘cult’’ ef physical sensuousness and natural realism in speech and dress which rules in anti-Philistine circles has strong ad- vocates in the play of ‘‘Clito’’ and in the dress of Miss Eastlake. It is the fashion in this set to abjure pru - dery, to regard all nature as clean, to talk of things as they are and to glory in physical per- fection. Not only to glory in it all alone in the inner consciousness and the retired bou- doir, but to permit others to revel in glimpses ot what mature has done for stalwart or fair philosophers. It is the realistic school of society. It is akin tothe Greek school, which held beauty as a good and worshipfal quality, and magni- fied not enly the senses but the power to de- light them as almost divine. It feund expres- sion in the practice ef exalting a splendid specimen of manhood above his fellews, and ef placing the lovely courtesan of ancient times on a pinnacle of admiration and devo- tion from the best and west intellectual men of the community. The ‘‘cult’’ believes in realism in all things— that the most beautiful thing is nature in per- fection, aud that art is good only in so far as it copies nature. It joins the highest refinement with the plainest speech and the best intel- lectual achievement with delicate sensuous- ness. It aims, however, to aveid sensuality and revels in the airy indulgence of ideal en- joyment in beauty. Olito expresses this idea in certain ways with a suggestion of gressness and with the ruin ot the good. Miss Eastlake has the task of presenting beauty as an evil, to be sure, anda temptation to wrong, but in its most alluring form and in the guise of light and goodness tothe man who is to fall by its charms. Her means to this end are a voluptuous and fine physique, India gossamer and silk mull or some other gauzy and clinging fabric. The resources are ample for the purpose and Miss Eastiake handles them well. She is a large woman, not fieshy, but fall in outline with a rounded, classic neck, ample, smooth shoulders, arms of a Juno, and—well the silken fabric that fits as a glove has nochance for subterfuge or story- telling and its outline fulfilis the promises made by the revealed charms. Theredoes not appear to be any discount on the promises if strong Opera-giasses are to be believed. When Miss Eastlake steps into the studio of Clito in her clese-titting garmert, enveloped in India gossamer and with bits of drapery looped and tacked here and there just to make the telescopic search for star points interest- ing and tantalizing,there is a decided sensation in the audience. The dudes careen toward the stageas if they were hangingto strapsin a cable car swinging areund a cerner, and there is a strained appearance about their eyes and a restiess movement of the glasses that indi- cates extreme anxiety not to lose anything. Tights, drum corps and first opera bouffe rev- elations fade away into obscurity as charm-dis- coverers before this new outfit. It does not make a cast-iron medel of the upper half of the body and leave the limbs dangling out in smooth primness. It does not make itself lia- ble to arrest for false pretenses by giving a whalebone outline which will accommodate all kinds of variegated articles behind it. It is natural realism enhanced by a shifting of the points of interest and a hide- and-seek coquettishness of revelation and concealment which has a charm of its own. It discards corsets as utterly abherrent to its notions of soft and gruceful modulation of surface; it dotes on a giove-fit which preserves all the undulating grace of the feminine waist in warm flesh and changing motion, and it clings to the tieback as a necessary accentua- tion of swelling lines. It is early spring clothed inthe airy and changing vapor of its own zephyrs, or summer enveloped in gathering end dissolving fleece-clouds. With whateyer it may be compared it starts a distinct thrill which ripples around the heuse as the undu- lations of the fabric begin where the pink of the skin ends and pass over the figure merg- ing into wavy shimmers on the limbs, in har- mony with the movement ef the woman. The electric climax is reached when Miss Eastlake throws herself over the fur covered couch in artfully artless abandon while incense fills the air and music invites to luxurious repose. Itis sensuous beauty hiding behind cob- webs and covering its tinted grety in fairy fossamerand it is realism in disguise with the mask off, and if the revelation of what it can accemplish does not result in a conven- tion forthe abelition of whalebone andthe prevaience of Greck costume the dudes are sunk beyond recovery ina condition of in- nocuous desuetude,’ In several respects ‘‘Clito’’ is a revelation ot stage art. Take its accuracy of representa- tion, its series ot pictures, its marvelous fidel- ity to detail and its smooth, effective stage business, and it surpasses any production that has been seen in St. Louis. Some of its busi- pees is wonderful in taste, fitness and effect. Mr. Barrett in the studio does some finely which is delicate and scarcely noticeable, but, nevertheless, makes the complete and finished whole. S0 too in the room of Helle everything that ingenuity, study and intelligent taste can suggest is made te contribute to the natural realism and the effectiveness of the sceme. The admirabiy selected music, the incense, the studied dis- order of cushions and furniture making it ap- pear a habited apartment where the mistress and her attendants are at home and at ease are alladmirablyarranged. It would be need- less to attempt to analyze the entire preduc- tion er to show the myriad particulars in which study and intelligence are displayed. The fight at the finale of the fourth act is a wonderful piece of business because it is made to appear natural. Everyone knows that a stage fight or mob scene is asa rule a laugh- able farce. Mr. Barrett gives a valuable lesson in stage management right here. The farce, as a rule, in such scenes is caused by the slowness or almless and blun- dering movements of the partici- pants. What dees Mr. do? He evidently has all and each of his aids instructed thoroughly. Each man and woman has a certain thine is on. Each one does it promptly, yigor- ously, quickly. There is no hesitat on, no lagging, no aimless movement. The con- fused and yet orderly scene is complete for a moment, fullofactien and spirit and the cur- tain drops. The effect has been gained. That effectisthe ciear impression of a fight or a mob and this once gained the scene isended. Thereisno time te analyze the elements and to discover flaws. In gain- ing this effect quickly and dro ping the cur- tain lies the whole secret of making a moving stage picture. The same effect is ained in everything and it is this ntelligence and fidelity to nature and art in language, sentiment, costumes, scenery, accessories, business that makes the produo- — great and bespeaks the ability of Mr. Bar- rett. — work, The greatness ofan actor does not consist only in vecal power, mobility of countenance, physique, excellence o elocution or reading power of delineation or any other one thing. It is not always necessary that each one of the qualities of great actors should be possessed by one man to eéntitic him to the name. Greatness is above any one quality or at- tribute. It consists more in power of concep- tion, of execution, in intelligence and grasp of a subject in all its bearing, in the ability to adapt means to ends and to achieve great re- sults with the materials at hand. It is in these things that r. Barrett’s greatness lies.

Leven ventured to laugh, but it seunded se hollow, unnatural and sepulchral that it startled me and nearly gave the valet and Stoker convulsionsefterror. Irving sim- ly leoked surprised.

TosaythatI was overwhelmed scarcely expresses it, and sat up against the orchestra with feelings of aman who has been singled out by royalty for especial favor. Mr. Barrett has little of this, and is the better for it. He is easy, frank and cordial. -_ — — THE NEW “HAMLET.’’ Mr. Wilson Barrett's Presentation Last Evening of the Play. Tradition received a black eye at the Olym- pic last night. It was not killed, but was in- jured in some parts by contact with the pro- gressive spirit. The new Hamlet of Mr. Wil- son Barrett was presented te a large and intelll- gent audience and the audience gave it warm approval, and at times enthusiastic applause. Mr. Barrett's Hamlet cannot be treated lightly or superficially merely from the stand- point of grace of action, ease or smooth and flowing reading of the lines. One must probe Zooper than this for the concep- tien of Hamiet and then for the fidelity with which this conception is given form. Mr. Barrett commands adiniration for one fine quality particularly. That is his bold vigor. He goes t the heart of things and is not afraid to expose what he finds there. Neither prejudice nor tradition, both high barriers to progress in the minds of the masses, deter him from giving expression to what he thinks is right and in accordance with reason. This is the stuff that advances the world a peg and teaches it that a new thing may be a good thing. There is no need to demolisha cherished idol. There is no need to blot out forever the beautiful picture which has stood for the Hamlet in the affections ofall. Let Edwin Booth be placed in his niche in the temple as the perfect model of the long-accepted Ham- let. Poetic, tinged with the sombre melan- choly of a soul that is sick and weary of life, that is crushed with a terrible load of crime and an assumed responsibility to punish it; a delicately sensitive and philo- sophic soul, with purpose paralyzed by con- science and vain reasoning, dreaming, stum- bling, halting, he goes down into the black- ness of death and despair with the probiem of life and duty lightened with vivid flashes of inspiration, but unsolved, with yet a great mystery enveloping him and his conclusion, One is in doubt if he be really sane or insane, and one is not eure whether he loves Ophelia or not. Undoubted decisi to be revenged and to punish crime never rests fully on his shoulders. In Mr. Booth’s hands this intel- lectual and poetic character is a work of art beautifully molded, exquisitely suggested and interpreted with a rhythm and beauty of read- ing that charms the ear and fascinates the mind. But is this all? Shall it be said finally that this ends Hamlet; that no mind can fathom his depths or ascend his heights; that he himself, his real nature, his genuine motives, his reasens and conclusions, sbail remain in obscurity and above humanity? Shall all light on the subject be rejected and cast out as worthless? Shall it be forever de- nied that there is any other standpoint from which the human creation of human genius may be viewed? Shall certain lives remain forever in uncertainty? This would bar all original study and progress. Here comes a youth of noble nature, with fine intellectual powers, touched with moral- izing and daliying philosophy, and yet with the heart of aman, with his passions, his emotions, his impulses, moved by the consid- erations that move men, with strong purposes to gain, and yet with natural doubts as to the — on means and as to what his duty is. He as an end in view and in studying how that end shall be reached, hits upon a strategy—feigned insanity. This is in the lines and cannot be controverted. He loves ardently, passionately, and yet stern purpose crushes this love, and it lies bleeding at his feet, sacrificed to asense of duty. Here are some plain points in his conception of Hamlet, his strong humanity that is moved and swayed by all that appeals to man, his sanity, his genuine love for Ophelia. These are vividly and unmistakably developed. Mr. Barrett's character of Hamlet cannot be separated from his production ot the play. It must be taken in its entirety asa complete interpretation ofthe creation. To stop at his own methods and find their faults would be an easy task. One could say at once that his pe- culiarities of modulation and acertain jerky rapidity of speech mars certain passages for the ear, but this does not make Hamlet and his interpretation of the character as a whole This in clearness of concep liminary whispering prefound silence reigned.. d sycophancy that an fasufferable — even to at the People's agaim next weex. in this play, which was produced first under tion, in the vivid light that is thrown on the | central object from every side, in mastery and perfect arrangement of details is superb. The love of Hamlet for Ophelia was graphically por- he handlin of the King and Polonius behind the arras an Hamlet’s discovery of them there with the struggle for mastery between his love and the necessity of — it was splendidly de- icted. The scene in the oratory, where umlet discoversthe King on his knees, the scene between Hamlet and the King when he is ordered to England are new arrangements full of meaning. Innumerable bits of busi- ness pregnant with intelligence were given and Mr. Barrett’s readings in the essential points were often without lis peculiarities of speech and were pithy and fine. The entire production as the interpretation of the Hamlet of Mr. Barrett’s conception, wholly human and comprehensible, was a revelation. While his treatment of the char- acter 1 shock at first and may not convince at once, itis serious, it is finely intelligent and is based on sound reason. It is, moreover a decided view which is full of interest and power. Next to Mr. Barrett’s Hamlet the at- est interest centered in Miss Eastiake’s Ophelia. Her earlier scenes were — with grace, feeling and attractive sweetness and her mad scene was a revelation in the realistic depiction of insanity which held her audience breathiess. It was us, origi- nal and artistic, the final fury o pictured for an instant in beating arms, wilid- eyed terror and shrieking laughter on the background of tossing tapestry was a superb 1 of the scene. .

She was coached by Oates, but was nerveus, and her acting gave no promise. Her singing. however, made a hit, Few, if any, ‘ ited her with talent, and no one expected her to make any great headway on the stage. The theater led, and the Oateses, mari et femme, Sapo from view. The very next season, however, Alice came to Mozart Hall, Cincinnati, as Index in a ‘‘Naiad n' organization headed by Emily orne, and took the public by storm. Her improvement as asoubrette was almost inored- ible. She reached her zenith when Bob Miles organized the Oates Comic Opera Company and put his pretty ballet girl, Pauline Hall in as a chorister. The careers since of the prima donna and the chorus girl, who is now the premiere of the New York Casino, illustrate most emphatically how time changes. The Hat Reform. The high hat reform will be given. a chance at the Olympic and will be inaugurated with the en ement of Held by the Enemy.“ Mr. Short has up a comfortable room with racks and will have a woman in at- tendance who will take care of the high hats and will give ladies who desire to take them off for their neighbors’ sake an opportunity to do so. The reform should receive hearty in- dorsement from the St. Louis ladies. Coulisse Chat. It is said that Mrs. Cleveland is a clever dra- matic critic. Kate Castleton will play a return engage- ment within a few weeks at the Grand. Bob Morris has written another play. Itisa comedy, and is called Charlotte Passe. Tony Hart in ‘‘Donnybrook,’’ his new Irish play, will follow Effie Ellsler at the Grand. Fred Warde in his spectacular ‘‘Galba’, will be one of the attractions of the near fut- ure, According to a cablegram, Sardou’s ‘‘Crooc- odile’’ has played in seventeen nights to l4l,- 877 francs. Chas. Louis Whitehed, son of a wealthy Trenton (N. J.) banker, has married Emma Thursby, 80 it is said. Tickets for Gen.

The rock should be covered with | garlands. Joe and Dan Morata, who are clever gym- nasts and bar performers, and are graduates of the Missouri Gymnasium, haye started on a professional tour. The statement is made that Lillian Olcott is negotiating for the American rights to Sar- dou’s ‘‘Crocodile,’’ with the chances in favor of her being successful. Verdi's Otello“ will be published by Ricordi of Milanin February or March. The firm pay the composer £40,000 and half the author's fees, or about £40, for each performance. In its answer to the allegations made by ex- Stage Manager Parry in his suit for two weeks’ salary, the National Opera Company declares that Mr. Parry was discharged tor incom- petency. The McCullough Club’s performance of Mrs. Barton Harrison’s comedy adaptation and of „»The Medical Student’’ at the Pickwick to- night should draw a fine audience, and doubt- less will. Miss Genevieve Ward will be at Pope’s week after next in ‘‘Forget Me Not’’ and ‘‘The Queen’s Favorite,’’ the German version of which will be given at Pope’s to-morrow night by Eisenstein’s Company. After ‘‘Held by the Enemy,’’ the attraction at the Olympic will be Fanny Davenport in a repertoire including ‘‘School for Scandal,’’ „As You Like It, Nancy Sykes, ‘‘Lon- don Assurance. and Fedora. William F. Blood, known on the stage as William F. Blande, at present acting with, and stage manager of, Robert B.

Rhea bids adieu to the American stage in April, and will then play her farewell en- 1 in New York, appearing in twoof er latest plays, The Widow’’ and Fairy Fingers, in both of which the actress was seen in Boston recently. Acting Masager Short of the Olympic and Grand will receive his benefit on January 31, during the engagementof Lotta. Mr. Short is one of the gentiemen whose benefits are events ofthe season and always call out big audiences for he deserves it. Atthe rehearsal ofthe Choral Society on Tuesday night Mr. Otten presided at the con- ductor’s desk for the last time previous to his departure for Europe. After a short farewell speech he resigned the batonto Mr. Froelich who will lead the society inthe next two con- certs. A new and very nice but very naughty operetta, by Charles Lecocg, entitled Les Grenadiers de Montcornet,’’ was produced last week at the Bouffes Parisiens and made a de- cided hit. The principal part was taken by Mile. Ugalde, the ruling queen of the Parisian opera bouffe stage. Miss Eastlake’s oddity of dress, which was noticed on Wednesday evening in ‘‘A Clerical Error,“ is one of her peculiarities off as well as onthe stage. She never wears stays, and has the oddest gowns that ever came from a modeste’s hands. They are all of her own creation and they look it. Miss Katherine Kidder, the young actress who has been playing Rodert McCreary in Heid by the Enemy,“ refused to play on Sunday evening last in Chicago on the ground of conscientious objection, and was summarily released from her connection with the com- pany.

The canons are filled with deer, mountain sheep and bear. There are thousands of cliff houses; every available spot is covered with them. ‘They are more numerous in the canons running into the main canon than in the ‘Main canon itself. Some houses are so high and built to conform with the outline of the cliff as to be almostinvisible. The buildings were built for comfort; the ceil- are high walls, are built of fine sand- _ stone, plastered with gypsum, immense beds of which can be found almost any e in Southern Colorado. Some of rooms will compare favorably with ‘the best work of to-day, though it has been thousands of years since they were built.

The water cut away the softer Strata of sandstone, in some places five feet, in others * feet, and even more, and varying n depth, sometimes fifty feet back in under the overhangin cliff. Thus roof and floor are of solid sandstone. In some aoe the overhanging cliff protects the ulldings, so that there has never been a drop of rain or flake of snow touched them. This accounts for thestate of pres- ervation in which they are found. During my stay in the canon I gathered dozens, yes hundreds, of relics that would have made the heart of an antiquarian giad, but did not carry one away with me when I left. I found many specimens of * Everything from drink n cups to water pots holding fifteen or twenty gallons. The pot- sory is decorated in many curious designs. In different ruins I found moccasins made from the leaves of the soapweed, or Span- ish bayonet, varying in size from No. 6 to No. 9. In many places the —~, oy of a hand covered with gypsum can be found. The hands are all small, though from the moccasins their feet must have been those of average size peonle. I found a great many coils of twine and pieces of Tepe ‘made of fibre resembling hemp. The ‘twine was not larger than a large-size fishing line, and time has not hurt it in ‘the least, as it isso strong that a man cannot break it easil ywith bare hands.

It „is situate in Bear Canon (so named by Epospecters), about three miles from the ancos Canon, on the west side. From the bottom of the canon it requires about one and one-half miles’ walk from a point immediately below it to reach it. In climbing the cliffs on the route I took I found footsteps cut in the rock, and think the people who lived here must have gone up in the same way that I did. When I arrived 1 found a perpendicular cliff about forty feet hig , which I climbed, by the aid of a rope which I threw onto a small cedar, at the risk of breaking my neck, but I was well repaid for my trouble by finding a build- ing at least 250 feet in length, six stories in height in the front and from four to six rooms deep into the cliff. This seems to have been a chief’s house, or perhaps a Pan-Electric director, or perhaps a boodle man. The rooms were finely plastered with eypeum, which had a beautiful pink cast. In one room were stone lasts,rudely shaped, but after the fashion of the shoe- maker’s last of to-day. Another room had arrow heads, stone axesand hatchets. There are also two weaving rooms. In one there is a rude kind of loom, in the other shuttles and other implements for weaving; but as I do not understand weaving as well as the ancients, I cannot describe them. I found specimens of cloth resembling coarse linen. At one end I found a chicken-house with roosts for chickens. L[also found juss of pottery made to resemble our white mountain quail, and think —- that the moun- tain quail was at one time the domestic fowl of these people. There is alsoa roomin which venison has been smoked. Every building hasa round water-tank, from ten to fifteen feet across, and the ee buildings as many asthree. The tanks vary in depth from five to ten feet. The kitchens of these buildings seem to have been built weaker than any other part, as they have nearly all tumbled down, while the other parts of the buildings are 14 $ There are bushels of broken pottery in the — fallen down, so I naturally supposed em to be kitchens. I never found a building in which the kitchen was stand- ing, but do not doubt but there are some of them left standing. If one could be found that had not fallen, I think that there would bea great deal of pot- tery found. In every ruin can be found corncobs and husks, squash rinds, bone knives, and curious articles that I could not make out for what use they were in- tended. There are one or more granaries connected with every building. They have doors and windows in which slabs are fitted to such a nicety that a mouse could never get into them. There are also cellars in which Ifonnd large jars covered with smooth, flat stones. hat mer contained I can only surmise, The buildings were heated with a rude kind of furnace, a passageway built of stone and cement inside running the full length of the lower floor, as I supposed for err ying heat to different apartments. The walls in some places are covered with 1 in which red colors predom- te. Pictures of men, women, animals, and birds. There is one oliff about thirty feet square, on which are the pictures of vari- ous birds. That of the stork is the most numerous and is a faithful copy of that bird.

Another picture is of a man with the head of a dog or wolf. Heisalways leading and women Bayee hand. It is the picture identical with bis of the thick twilled silk, and falls in long folds around the body, forming a sort of pad round the neck. In the usual way, a richly embroidered band runs perpendicu- larly down the front; it has no special de- sign. The edges of the chasuble are sim- ply hemmed. The tunics under the chasu- le are also of silk. The upper one is of lighter texture; it showsa pattern con- sisting of lozenges connected by rays. The under tunic shows a very fine interlacing pattern of geometrical design. The stole is worn crossed on the breast, the lower portions be- ing broader than the upper. Its orna- mentation is a pattern of scale-like de- sign, which shows alternately figures of lions and birds set in a pattern of finely traced leaves. The girdle is of silk, but only long untwisted strands remain. The feet and legs up tothe knees are covered with silk stockings, which seems to be of a fine network texture. Three broad parallel bands and as many smaller ones are wound round in spiral fashion, and fasten them. The shoes, which come up above the ankle, and have two deep slits, are made of gold brocade; they are ornamented by circular embroideries sewed on. Thesoles of the shoes are of leather. The pastoral staff lies in the arms, from the right shoulder to the left foot. It is of soft wood, ending with a ferule and spike; at top there is aspherical ball of hammered bronze, out of which issues a crook of soft wood, which ends in a bronze lily set ina square socket. At the feet stands the chalice, also of soft wood, very finely turned; the cup isa hemisphere, and on it rests the natina. A Prospective Banquet. From the Chicago Mail. The presence in Chicago of Mr. James Carlisle of Pueblo, Colo., calls to mind an incident in connection with himself and one of the men who became rich from the output of Leadville which was amusing, and which, though conveying no compliment to Mr. Carlisle, he often tells with pardonable merriment. The bonanzaite alluded to was originally a good-hearted, leisure-loving Dutchman, much of the same character as Rip Van Winkle is painted before his protracted nap in the Catskills. His name is Gus Rische, and when the pres- ent millionaire and ex-Senator Tabor was keeping a store in California Gulch, Mr. Tabor used to “‘grub-stake’’ Rische while he prospected for lead. Eventually Rische and his crony, a man named Hook, al- most accidentally found the great car- bonate lead that quickly built a city among the clouds and boomed Denver so satisfactorily, and madea large number of millionaires. Of course Rische became rich with the others, but, being always a man of unexalted tastes and decidedly illiterate, there came a time within 1 few years in which a social line of demarcation was drawn between the ilk ot Rische and that of greater pretensionsto style. Thus it hap- pened that once, when Tabor and others were entertaining some Eastern magnates and capitalists with a banquet at the Clarendon in Leadville, Mr. Carlisle walked into a saloon and beheld Rische consoling himself with an immense schooner of beer. Hello!“ said Carlisle. you at the banquet?” For der pest of reasons, Chim; I dond get an inwite,” replied Rische. Dem fellers vas too arisdogratig; dey vas too decent unt respectable, und dey dond in- vide me some more.“ “Now, that’s too bad,“ returned Car- lisle. Dond you mind that, said Rische. vill gif a banget myself. I vill get me dot bill of fare und I vill more as dupli- cace it, und I dond hef a decent, respecta- ble son of a gun at der table.“ Then, suddenly, asif remembering something, he added: Dond you get uneasy, Chim; you vill got an inwite.“ Why ain't — — Noted Volunteer Generals.

From the Boston Transcript. J used to think that men had an N pe time, said Mrs. Franks, put I’ve c anged my mind, and here- after I’m going to take all the care of Charles I sib 8 can. You see, the other morning I told Charles we wanted some wood, and to be sure and order some. Well, I waited all day, and that wood didn’t come, and I was almost angry, for, said I, he has * it, as usual. Charles didn’t come home until late long after lI retired. He had to go to his club, and it seems he was detained until after — am He was awfully restless, and kept talking in his sleep, saying ever once in a while, ‘Give me another flollar 7 worth of chips.’ So you see I knew that his mind was troubled about that wood. How much it must have worried him to thus disturb his rest! Hereafter I’m goin d to all house matters ‘a the money he made, Well, not much, perhaps, but enough for us two, and the little room we had down at Kingston, over against the river; only Bobbery was an extravagant lad— not in drink, sir; we were always a sober lot—but in oranges. They were almost his ruin, sir—those oranges. He used to come up-stairs suck- ing them 1 so that I might not hear, and thinking to deceive me; but I some- how smelt oranges, and it always made me sharper to catch Bobbery whistling little tunes to himself on the way up, just to put me off. He made a great deal of me, did Bob- bery—along of being Wind, you see—and so did the neighbors; but I was rare roud of him. You don’t know what t is, sir, to sit alone in the dark all day, and then, on a sudden, to hear a fellow call out, “Here we are again! Come down and feel the sun set, and we'll count the coppers.““ It would make you love any one, sir, who had a voice like that, ik alons a fellow like Bobbery. Perbaps you didn’t happen to be in Kingston, sir, last spring, when the floods had risen and the land was under water for miles around. Bobbery had to wade a little going down to his work, but he rather liked it, he said; and he used to tuck up his trousers and call back to me and laugh as the water crept around his feet; and he said folks wouldn’t want their boots blacked, he feared, for the water would soon take off the polish. I used to sit on the window-sill to feel the sun, and if [ listened very hard I could hear the ripple-ripple of the shallow water at every step that Bobbery made, and it had a pleasant sound, and made a kind of company feeling; but when he was out of hearing and it was still kept rippling up against our wills the company feeling went away and left me lonely, and some- times I thought the water hateful, be- cause it lay for so very long between me and Bobbery. Well, once I was sitting alone on the window-sill and the day was very quiet, so quiet that I did not hear the little rip- pling waves; and in the quiet I grew rightened at last, and stretched out my hands across the sill to feel my way down. I felt something that made me shiver and draw back out of the sunlight—that made my whole dark life grow suddenly a beau- tiful and precious thing—I felt the water rippling almost up to the level of the sill, and I was quite alone, and Bobbery would never know. I did not call out or go mad with fright, as I thought atfirst 1 might do, only I creptaway in my everlasting darkness from the warm sunlight and sat down on the bed where Bobberly and 1 slept to- gether, and put my hands over my cars to shut out the roar of the waters. How long l satthere I don’t know, but I think it must have been for hours, for I felt the sunlight on my face and the waters rushing around me be- fore 1 moved again. I was hun- gry, too. but when 1 tried to get down and reach the cupboard the water took me off my feet and I[ crept back to the bed and on to the shelves of the dresser to be out of the way. I said my prayers two or three times, and I said some prayers for Bobbery, too, for I knew he would be sorry when he found me some day where I had died all alone andin the dark. And then [tried tothink how things looked from our window, with the water sweep- ing up to the very sill, and the red sunset lying on it—and beyond the pretty town and the steeple inthe clock: and 1 thoughtit was better for meto die than Bobbery, after all, for he could see, while I—I had no pleasures in my life. And yet | wanted to live; I wanted to hear Bob- bery’s voice again; I wanted the waters to go down and somebody to remember me at last—for I was afraid. Well, sir, God answers our prayers sometimes in a way that is terribly just. It takes us a long time to find out that everything is very good, I think, but we come to learn it at last—and learn, too, to leave our prayers as well as the answers to God. Somebody did remember me at last and came back—somebody whose laughing voice across the waters was nearer every minute—somebody whose hands were on my shoulders, whose eyes, I felt, were on my face—somebody who had never forgotten me—Bobbery! “Bobbery! Bobbery!“ I cried, and I stretched out my arms to him. Bobbery said: only thin . such a lark! but as I climbed in at the window our tub drifted away. and however we're to get over I can’t tell.“ “You must think of something,“ I said. ‘*Bobbery, it was a long day.” Why, of course it was, Bobbery an- swered, ‘‘without me. river’s rising like fury.“ “Is it very wide?” I asked. “Oh. not more’n a to dry land, but should say, and rising. “But the bed, moubery,.” I said, ‘‘and the other things. “Well, we must it’s all right again.’ “Will it ever be all right?’ I asked. “Why, yes, of course,“ said Bobbery.

MR. AND MRS. BOWSER. Mrs. Bowser Tells How He Repaired All the Broken Things. From the Detroit Free Press. The knob on the cellar door came loose irl at the same time reported a pane of glass out in the kitchen and a broken caster on the exten- sion-table. I asked Mr. Bowser if he wouldn’t send up a man to make repairs and he replied: ‘Twas just ye for something to busy myself at for a few days. I'll get some tools and go through the house and repair and improve.“ —— to remind him that he spent the best part of two days and nights re- pairing the leg of a stand, and that it fell down and broke a $15 vase as soon ashe had pronounced repairs complete, and he put his hands under his coat-tails, called up an awful frown, and replied: Mrs. Bowser, when I don’t know what I’mfabout I'Il look for you to advise me!“ In about an hour after leaving the house he returned with six files, three gimlets, a screw-driver, two hammers, a brace and several bits and drills, a bottle of cement, three pounds of nails, a putty-knife and putty, and various other things, while paint, varnish and Brushes soon followed him. »The whole outfit cost but $13.40,” he explained, as he opened the bundle with a smile of pride on his face, and I can keep the house in repair for two or three years.
