Allow it to remain in the oven with the door closed 15 or 20 minutes. No turnin is required. At the end of this time it wi be found nicely cooked ready to serve. THIS IS THE IDEAL WAY TO BROIL MEATS. There is no taint of coal-gas or smoke, and the meats are more tender and betterin flavor than those broiled over the coals. he convenience or broiling in the oven will be appreciated by every house-keeper, and adds another to the many reasons why the Charter Oak Range or Stove with the Wire Gauze Oven Door should be preferred to all others now in the market.

LATEST EDIMON SUBMISSION, How the Legislature Stands on This Important Question. Eighty-Seven Members Favor Sub- mitting It to the People, While Sixty Are Opposed and Twenty- Seven Are Doubtful. 2 — Poll ot the Missouri Legislature on the Great Topic of the Session—The Expression of Individual Opinions—Will a Submission Resolution Be Passed ?—The Senate and House on the Subject from a Party Stand- point. Special to the Post-DIgPATCH. a JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., January 18.—Tbe question of the submission ofa Prohibition Constitutional amendment being one of the most prominent and important subjects which will come before the Legisiature for consider- ation this winter, the POST-DISPATCH has made an effort to obtain, in advance ofa vote upon the question, the opinions of every member of the General Assembly. In a few instances the members when interviewed supplemented their statements with aremark to the effect thgt their desire to vote a certain way might be changed by aconflict with the ruling senti- ment of their county or district. In all such cases the member was counted as doubtful in the general summary. The result of the interviews is as follows: In favor of submission, 14 Senators and 73 Representatives; opposed to submission, 16 Senators and 44 Representatives; doubtful, 4 Senators and 23 Representatives. Of the Senators in favor of submission, 9 are opposed to submission, 10 are Democrats, 5 are Republicans and 2 Greenback-Labor. Thirty-six Republican, 34 Democratic and 3 Independent Representatives favor submis- sion ; 34 Democrats ,9 Republicans and 1 United Labor oppose it, and 16 Democrats, 5 Repub- licans and 1 United Labor are doubtful. IN THE SENATE it will require three additional votes to defeat submission and four additional votes to pass it.

Directly north of here the cold was the greatest this morning, and St. Paul witn $1 below had no reason to complain of unpropitious weather for the opening of her ice palace. The change in t his city from the slush of Sunday to the intense cold of this morning would have caused much suffering had it not come radually and been announced by the Signal Service warnings of Sunday afternoon. Dur- ing to-day the wind has veered only slight- ly, getting into the northeast by3p.m. The indications are that the mode eration will be but gradual between now and to-morrow, and that windows will present a well-frosted surface to Wednesday morning’s sun.

A MARRIAGE LICENSE ISSUED TO AUGUST SPIES AND MISS VAN ZANDT. The Culmination of a Remarkable Romance —Miss Van Zandt’s Infatuation for the Condemned Anarchist—Wealthy Relatives Enter a Strong Protest Against the Con- templated Union. ; Curoaco, January 18.—There was grave doubt yesterday that the marriage between August Spies, the anarchist, and Miss Nina Van Zandt, which was to havé occurred in the county jail on Thureday, would be permitted. The marriage-license clerk, Mr. Seegur, yes- terday said that he would not issue the license until he was compelled to do 80 by legal process. The whole affair, he thought, was a scheme hatched out by some friend of Spies whereby he hoped to create public a, re for the man and secure a commuta- tion of his sentence. James K. Van ’ the father ot the young woman espoused to Spies, was seen and said that he did not think the marriage would be had on Thursday as originally intended, but it was probable the event would take place within a week, al- though he could not say definitely. THE ROMANCE as obtained from parties connected with it and who are supposed to know, is as follows: Miss Nina Van dt is the only child of James . Van Zandt, a chemist and rfumer in Kirk’s factory, at No. 370 North Water street. The family residence ls at 336 Huron street. Miss Van Zandt had read the accounts of the famous anarchist and became interested. During closing days of the trials she was a regular at. tendant. She was dressed with delicacy and taste andin the latest fashion. She expressed herself as of the conviction that the men, of whose personal description she had formed an altogether erroneous idea, were not as guilty as they were made out to be and she was par- ticularly struck with Spies. Thenceforth she visited the jail dall and even went so far as to induce her pa-. rents to accompany her. Having been once misled as to the personal appearance of the anarchists, she was naturally led to relieve her mind of the impression she had formed of their moral character and by degrees began to value Spies very highly. This attachment rew on both and resulted, while notin a ormal betrothal, in a mutual understanding which, in fact,amounted to almost the same thing. The young lady’s father knew ofthe attach- ment and its probabie outcome from its very inception, but being of a liberal disposition and an open mind, put no barrier between his daughter and the object of her strange affec- tion. He disclaims all sympathy with the an- archist movementin any form. The reason he gave for withholding all objection to his daughter’s plans was that he knew it would be an utterly useless act and that she would gratify her ambition in spite of all remon- strance. Yesterday afternoon Marriage License Clerk Seeger received a dispatch from Mrs. John Arthurs of Pittsburg ordering no license Iis- sued for the marriage. Mrs. Arthurs is the aunt of the prospective bride and it is said, is quite wealthy. MISS VAN ZANDT herself is but atrifle over 21 years ot age. She is midway between blonde and brunette. Her eyes are dark and expressive, her form grace- fuland above the average height. She is firm in ber resolution to ma Spies and will carry her wish into execution if es by the law. The relatives and friends of the Van Zandt family in Pittsburg are greatly excited over the matter, and Mrs. Arthurs, it is said, has been prostrated by the blow. THE LICENSE ISSUED. By Telegraph to the PosT-D1sPATCH. CuiIcaGco, III., January 18.--A marriage license was issoued at 11:6 this morning to Anarchist August Spies and Miss Van Zandt. A LAUGHABLE MISTAKE. CHICAGO, January 18.—Miss Nina Van Zandt, the young woman who is announced to be married to the condemned anarchist, August Spies, took out the usual form of marriage lprense this after- noon at the office of the County Clerk. She was accompanied by Capt. William P. Black, the chief counsel for the anarchists. The pair did not know the location of the office of the County Clerk, and by mistake entered the insane department of the County Court, and after inquiring for the clerk, discovered their mistake and were directed to the proper office, accompanied by the smiles of the officials of the insane depart- ment. When Miss Van Zandt called poe Spies at the jail, this morning, she found him in conversation with Miss E. Constance Locke who lives in Calumet avenue, and who is said to have taken an interest in the fate of Spies. The Mystery Explained. All persons desiring to see the mystery of the Pine Street Spectre’’ exposed, and wishing to aid the parties endeavoring to fathom it, will please assemble on either side- walk of Pine street between Twenty-eighth street and Compton avenue at 4p. m., this evening; but under no consideration remain in the middle of the street. Upon the ap- pearance of the Spectre Horse and Buggy’’ do not attempt to molest or hinder it in any manner. Proper authorities will be present to see that everything is properiy and satisfactorily ex- plamed and executed. MEXICAN VETERANS. The Old Soldiers Get Their Pension at Last — The Secretary Talks. The morning telegraph to-day brings news from Washington of the passage last evening of the Mexican veteran pension bill, by the provisions of which each Mexican veteran re- celves $8 per month during the remainder of his life, at the conclusion of which the pension passes to his widow or minor children. The widows or minor children of such veterans as have died before the passage of the bill are also entitled to the pension. The bill has its operations chiefly to ‘*scalpinpg.’’ Mr 2 who was until recently a director o? „aid that the affairs of this firm, nsuch confusion that it was impossible for him to make anything /ike a reliable state. ment.

The Denver Range Journal takes a favorable view of the project of constructing new stock yards west of the city. The contracts have been let and the yards are expected tobe ready for operation in the spring or summer, with a capacity of 3,500 head ot cattle, 5,000 head of sheep and 7,500 head of hogs. In comment- ing on the enterprise, the Range Journal states that the new stock-yards cannot fail to offer superior advantages to the stockmen and dealers. The passage of the interstate com- merce Dill will prevent discrimination in rates and the coset of yardage will be much less in St. Louis than in © hicago. The stock of the Chicago yards, it is stated, has been watered from a cost of $1,500,000 to 813, 000. 000 This extra burden must be borne’ by the cattiemen. The St. Louis yards will cost about $1,000,000 or possibly 81 500, 000 and operated on a fair basis it is believed that the stockmen will benefit by their construction. The enterprise is in the hands of cattiemen and the Journal predicts excelient results to the cattle trade in general and to the St. Louls market. The Coal Supply. The strikes of miners in the Fast and the high price of hard coal have given rise to apprehensions that the St. Louis supply may be drawn upon to such anextent as tocause an increase in prices here. Mr. E. J. Crandall, President of the St. Louis Consolidated Coal Company, said to-day that there was little danger that the price of coal here would be affected in any way. The mines tributary to St. Louis are worked only to asmall percent of their 8 and a demand from abroad would be hailed asa blessing. St. Louis is now sending about fifty car-loads a day to Chicago and is also shipping to Omaha and other Northwestern oints. The Hlinois supply, it is thought, can e made plenty large enough to meet all foreign demands and leave sufficient for St. Louis at present prices. Advance in Western Rates. PITTSBURG, Pa., January 18.—At the meet- ing of freight agents of the railroads shipping west from Pittsburg now in session here, the following schedule of rates on first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth classes respect. ively. was adopted: . Chicago 30 2212 17 East St. Louis .... © 0 $8 20 21 Detroit 0 35 2 14 Cleveland. . Cincinnati 34 20 5 12 The advance in the rates will amount to 163-16 per cent. in several instances, but will av- erage about 15 per cent.“ The new rates will go into effect on the Ist of February. This afternoon the rates to intermediate points will be arranged. Railroad Notes. The work on the extension of the Missouri Pacitic between Lexington and Boonville is 1 slowly owing to the cold weather, ut a force of menisonthe ground selecting the route and making preparations tor the work of construction when the weather opens. General Manager Talmage and Traffic Mana- ger Smith went to Chicago to-day to attend a meeting of the Western Traffic Association. There are matters between the division of the Wabash which require attention, and after settling his business in Chicago Col. Talmage will go on to New York to attend to Wabash affuirs there. The meeting of the Central Traffic Associa- tion which was to be held in Chicago Wednes- day has been postponed. Noreason has been given for the postponement, but there can be little doubt that it was for the purpose orf awaiting the action of Congress on the inter- state commerce bill which would, of course, seriously affect arrangements of the Associa- tion. Commissioner Blanchard and others think that pooling will survive the passage of the bill not on a money basis, however, The old tonnage plan will return, but railroads will have agreements on business and the statis- tics compiled by the pools will be necessary. A POOR ARTIST. Struggling Against the Tide With Only 84, 000 in His Possession. Justice Ryan yesterday issued an attachment upon the baggage of Mr. H. Krekorian, an artist rooming at Twentieth and Pine streets. The writ was eworn out by the business man- ager of a local weekly paper and was to secure a debt of 8 to the paper incurred by the artist. Mr. Krekorian was about to leave the city and upon the arriva! of the constable at his house it was found that his trunks had gone and the only attach- able article was avalise. The constable took possession of the bag. His action developed the fact that Mr. — himself had a very decided attachment for the property, as he exhibited the keenest anxiety. as to its disposition. An examination of the contents ofthe bag, when conveyed to the Constablie’s office, disclosed the presence of $3,500 in crisp government bonds and $500 in cash. The eee was too great for the debtor and the $8 and costa were quickly forth- coming. The novel security was turned over to him and be departed. THE LUMBER MEN.

The senti- ment about the local signal office presages such a chauge, which would be warmly wel- comed ifitshould come. The observers are very chary about committing themselves, and Sergt. Weber waves off all inquiries. But a ear or so ago when the change was not so mminent the logal weather men other than the Sergeant, re not 80 reticent, and commented favorably on the scheme. Gen. Hazen, as is well known, was u vigorous op- ponent of the change, and to his fight is at- tributed the present existence of the service as a military institution. Now that he is out of the wert, the advocates of the pro- pe new order of things are expected to orce the agitation again. The reason why the observers are in favor of the change is because it would add permanence to the corps of men in the service. Under the men ssogueny remain in the service only lon enough to get a — sit in some other busi- ness. With the increased compensation that would come from the civil control, the ob- servers would take more interest in the work. No cityin the United States would feel the results of this change more guic than St. Louis. The station at this point is the largest distribution center for sigual — 1 and indications in the country. Despite this fact the observers are being constantly changed under the inexorable military law, and @ consequence the Signal office in this city has been for a long time nothing but a school for breaking in new men.

The True League, as it would be named in English, is a St. Louis order, having but small strength outside the city. The secretary’s report, readthis morning, shows there are 1,778 members State, and of this number 1,500 are in the City of St. Louis. The order originated in this city a few years ago, and it is in a way a copy of the Legion o onor. Beside its social features death benefits are paid, $700 to a member’s family on bis decease, and — to a member on the death of his wife. Siek bene- fits ranging from $5 to $8 are paid. All tne grand officers are residents of St. Louis and are as follows: Phil H. Zepp, Grand Master; Henry Nagel, Deputy Grand Master; August Fischer, Grand Secretary; Louis Grund, Grand Treasurer: Henry Norris, Grand Mar- shal. Forty-five representatives from subor- dinate lodges were present. The treasurer re- orted twenty-five members and nine mem- ers’ wives had died in the t year, entail- ayment of $19, death benefits; $8,000 sick benetite had also been paid, and there still remained in the treasury $6,000 sur- lus, The meeting will terminate this even- ng, and the present corps of officers will probably be re-elected.

COERCION. . GOVERNMENT DECIDES ON A AND IMPORTANT BILL. Sia Ab Aw and Intimidation to Be Sum- With-The Turkish Crisis— ‘got TORY NEW Irish Tenavts—Big Steal by a Post-Office Official in France—Foreign News. \egram to the Post-Dispatch. —— 18. — The Government bas at last screwed itself up to the coercion pitch. 1 is known for a fact this morning that Satur- day’s Cabinet Council determined to bring in a bill at the beginning of the session to em- power the Crown in certain cases to special jurors, and, if neces- ummon — to change the venue, and also confer on magistrates powers to deal summarily with inciting to conspiracy, intimi- dation and boycctting, the punishment not to exceed there months imprisonment. The striking feature of this news is that even a Tory Government no longer dares introduce a coercion bilt for Ireland alone, for the new bill will be applicavle to the whole United King- dom. The day of exceptional REPRESSIVE LEGISLATION FOR IRELAND 18 PAST. The obvious comment on this is that no re- pressive legislation for England is needed. The news has already been parodied by the remark: Give me leave to tread on the Jrishman’s corns, savs Salisbury, and to re- move any Objection you might have, I will tread upon your corns at the same time. THE TURKISH CRISIS. The information published from Constanti- nople to the effect that there is a ministerial crisis has caused Salisbury to see that his Bul- garian policy would really not work. Both Austria and England accordance chiefly with the Suitan’s wishes. It is probably true that the Sultan will be primarily influenced by Germany. Bismarck, as his speech showed beyond doubt, would go as far as he possibly could in acceding to the jegitimate demand of Russia. Therefore, the news, if true, indicates that the solution of the Eastern question is nearer than bas been for along time. It is always dangerous to speak of Glad- stone's ill-health. This time, as usual, he has recovered immediately and is now fairly well again. To-day being Iddesleigh’s funeral, the American Legation is closed out of respect to im. England. A GREAT INDIGNATION MEETING. LONDON, January 18.—The Liberal and Irish Nationalist Clubs of London are arranging to hold a great public meeting at St. James Hall to express indignation at the cruelty and in- humanity shown in the recent evictions on the Winn estates at Glenbeigh, County Kerry, Ire- land., The Rt.

UPCHURCH. Death of the Founder of the Ancient Order of United Workmen. By Telegraph to the Post-DiIspatTcu. CuBA, Mo., January 18.—J. J. Upchurch, founder of the Ancient Order of United Work- men, died at his home in Steelville, this county, this morning at 2 o’clock, of pneumo- nia, after an Ulness of eight days, aged 67. He formed the first lodge of the order at Mead- ville, Pa., October 27, 1868, and it was named Jefferson Lodge No. 1. A. O. U. W. No one has been known to dispute his claim to the honor of founding this order now so extensive. The interests of the working men were the study of his life, and he did all in his power to prevent strikes so disastrous to both employes and employers. Nowthatheis gone he will be mourned by thousands who have received benefit from him. Who He Was. H. L. Rogers, Grand Master of the A. O. U. W. in Missouri, received telegrams this morn- ing announcing the death of J. J. Upchurch, and wired the information over the country tothe Supreme officers. Mr. Upchurch, he said, was about 60 years old, and had been a resident of Steeleville since 1880. He organized the first lodge of the order in Meadville, Pa., in 1886. There were fourteen members taken in at the first meeting. At the next meeting only seven appeared. They strugsled along for more than a year before the society was firmly established. Mr. Upehurch was a machinist in the employ of the Atlantic & Western Railroad. His idea was get all classes of ngs oe together in order that they might benefit each other by ex- changes of information. Reading rooms and libraries for their use were features in his scheme. The beneficiary features added later overshadowed in a measure the points of the original design, but the prin- ciple of the original organization remains. „The order las groben to nearly two hundred thousand members, said Mr. ers, more because it answered a need of the times than for any other: ison. an inspiration, later societies, of Honor, Royal Arcanum, and on are founded. We cannot say that any one man is responsible for its growth after the foundation by Upchurch. He was not an in tellectual man, but a mechanic of more than ordinary intelligence. After the order had begun to grow Up- church went to Atianta, Ga., and later came to this State, working at Maryville and Sedalia. In 1879 a subscription of 10 cents per member was taken up in the order for his benefit, and with the proceeds he went into business in Steeleville, en home in a dangerous condition. Subs Selected.

Swope and Taulbee, respectively, and the favorable minority reports by Messrs, Conger and Morrill It is understood that the basis of the opposition to the bills is a reluctance on the part of the majority of the committee to the continuance of the policy of granting high ensions to widows of officers who did not die rom injuries incurred in the service. The only precedents for passing such bilis are found in the cases of the widows and families of Admiral Farragut and Gens. Hancock, Thomas and Grant, and the majority of the committee believe that it would be bad policy to follow these precedents in view of the fact that there are about one bundred surviving widows of officers who would be then entitled to pensions who are now excluded by the gen- eral law. A Quarantine Refused. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 18.—A letter was recently received at the Treasury Depart- ment from Mr. R. G. Head, President of the International Range Association, asking that an order be issued prohibiting the importing of cattle into the United States from all coun- tries where contagious diseases exist. The Secretary has informed him in reply that under the existing Department § regula- tions the importation of meat cattle from all foreign countries, except Canada, is only permitted under strict quarantine. He says further: ‘‘A late careful investigation, made by this department through the Depart- ment of State, shows conclusively that no in- fectious cattle disease now exists in the Do- minion of Canada, and recent advices received from the Commissioner of Agriculture (who, under the law, bas charge of all quarantine matters) are tothe effect that no contagious diseases have been introduced into this country from other foreign countries. In view of these facts the department must decline at this time to force the prohibition requested in your letter. A Black Eye for the Pacific. By Telegraph to the PFosr-Disr ATN. WASHINGTON, D.

Dille, a Cab- inet Maker on Angelrodt Sstreet—~The ‘Man Will Live—A Terrible Scene. At 2:30 p. m. to-day Wm. Dille, a cabinet maker, living at 1924 Angelrodt street, at tacked his wife with a butcher-knife after a quarrel growing out of some family matter. The attack was a brutal one and the woman was so hacked and cut that she sank tothe floor. Before the neighbors, who heard her screams and cries, rushed in She was dead. Near her stood Dille, with the knife in his hand, apparently exulting in the deed. Next he drew the same knife across his own throat and a flood of blood rushed down his breast. An ambulance was sentfor, and when it arrived Dille was loaded into it and taken to the Dispensary. 3 THE CORPSE of his wife was left at the house. When he ar- rived at the dispensary he could walk around, | but the knife had severed his windpipe and he could not speak. In answer to questions he wrote the answers, giv- ing his name, occupation, etc. He stated that he was 45 years of age, but would give no reason for the crime. Soon after he begun to sink. His wound was then dressed and he was sent to the City Hospital, His injuries are not necessarily fatal. In fact, the Dispensary physicians think he will surely recover. HOW THE TRAGEDY WAS DONDB. Fuller accounts of the tragedy was received later. Fredericka Dille, the murdered woman, was standing in the kitchen of her home engaged in the preparation ot dinner. Her husband had been out of the house, and he returned about 2:30 o'clock. He entered the kitchen, and; before she perceived him, he took a _ butcher knife from her hands and plunged it into her breast. She fell to the floor the blood gushingthe wound. He then stripped the clothing from his wife's form and dragged the body to an inner room. The clothing was thrown into the coal box of the stove and fire set to it. Returning to the kitchen Dille took a chop- ping knife and endeavored to efface the evidences of his crime. He could not remove the stains of blood, and with the knife he had used in murdering his wife cut his own throat. When Policeman Haley entered the room, having deen called by the fright-— ened chidren, who escaped from the house when the woman was stabbed- -Dille was found ENDEAVORING TO HANG HIMSELF Blood was flowing from the wound iu his throat, and he was becoming rapidly enfee- An ambulance was summoned and he was taken to the City Dispensary.

If there is one long felt want in the country, one thing which the people yearn for, it is a larger supply of bronze equestrian statues in Washington City. — — — — AccORDING to our reports from Jeffer- gon City, there is an almost certain majority for submission, the Senate count- ing 14 submissionists to 16 anti-submis- sionists, with 4 not declared. In the House there are 73 submissionists to 44 anti-submissioniste, with 24 not declared. This would give a total of 87 in favor of submission to 60 against it, with 27 doubt- ful or unknown. It is not at all likely that all of these 27 will vote against sub- mission, and this indicates the passage of a submission resolution. It is announced that Senator STANFORD will defy any investigating committee to wring from him a statement of what he Aid with over $700,000 entered in the Cen- tral Pacific accounts as paid by him with- out vouchers. He was not a Senator when he used that money. He says he ex- plained the items to the satisfaction of the company, and that nobody else has a Tight to know anything about the matter. This kind of talk will probably reassure a number of trembling statesmen, but it ‘will be generally accepted as a confession ‘that the money was put to a corrupt use. The presence of a Senator who is on reo- ord as the disburser of over $700,000 of un- explainable boodle, pending a single act of Pacific Railroad legislation, is a dis- grace to the American Congress, no matter show rich and powerful he may be, or mittee, has not been directly or indi- “rectly connected with a railroad for “@ighteen months,’’ and Mr. Ourrtiss himself says that he if in favor of en- forcing « ; 1 — uon by “ade — — e re vy 1 19 * 1 = w . ao 4 _4 Legislature, Tiss had not before served in the If Mr. Ourtiss then made a record as a supporter of adequate legislation for the enforcement of the railroad provisions of the Constitution, the Speaker might point to that record as a sufficient justification of his confidence in Mr. Curtiss. It is possible, however, as Speaker ALEXANDER seems to imply, that Mr. CuRriss’ views on the subject of railroad legislation when he is only a member of the Legislature and is not **connected with a railroad’’ may be quite different from what they were when he was both a legislator and a railroad at- torney. b KAISER AND REICHSTAG. If BrsMaRCK’s dissolution of the Reich- stag is merely an appeal to the country to decide a dispute between the Executive and the Legislature as to whether the in- creased appropriation for the army shall be for three years or for seven, a majority elected in favor of the longer term will clothe his policy with the proper sanction and leave no occasion for a coup d’etat in- volving a vital question of constitutional authority. But itis given out that BISMARCK and the Kaiser will not yield the point in dis- pute to any Reichstag that may be elected, and will continue to dissolve each new one which refuses to pass this bill, governing in the meantime without a budget. Rather than see matters brought to such a pass many voters, at heart unwilling to concede the seven-year appropriation, may deem it best after all to avoida crisis by yielding the point and letting the willful Chan- cellor have his way. Ifthe threat is put forth for electioneering effect only, backed as it is by the authority and pres- tige of such men as WILHELM, BISMARCK and Von MOLTKE, it may well serve such a purpose. There isa suspicion abroad, however, that the occasion of a critical state of affairs in Europe has been seized upon and an army budget utilized for precipi- tating a contest, the realaim of which is to render the Imperial Executive more in- dependent of the Reichstag. When that body offered to vote the ap- propriation for three years and to renew it as often as circumstances should still justify such action, BIs- MARCK fiercely resented the proposition that the Reichstag should presume to claim the right to exercise any discretion about such a matter, or to do anything but sanction the amount and duration of the increased expenditure according to the Kaiser’s present estimate of what the public safety will require for seven years to come. Read through American spectacles, the Chancellor’s declaration seemsto obliter- ate the vital distinction between auto- cratic rule and free government. If the discretion of the Kaiser and not that of the people's chosen representatives in the Reichstag isto determine what legisla- tion shall be enacted, what appropriations shall be voted and how long they shall be payable, then the Reichstag is not to wield any real authority, not to represent the National will, but to obey the orders ofthe Kaiser in regard to leg- islation and clothe his edicts with a coun- terfeit semblance of popular sanction and Legislative authority. When the veto power is not enough and the Executive as- sumes also the right to compel the Legis- lature to go through the form of enacting bills it does not approve, then the Legis- lature which places itself in such an atti- tude of subordination and obedience to Ex- ecutive mandates is in no sense a deliber- ative body, in no sense a legislature. The very idea of a legislature seems to be de- stroyed by supposing it to be bound by the mandate of King or Kaiser to make laws contrary to its own judgment, or con- trary to its understanding of the will of its constituent electors. _ BOGUS TITLES. The papers have recently announced the death by suicide in Cincinnati of @ young German named Schaar, who sought to throw a romantic halo around his memory by calling himself the “Earl of Durkheim,’’ and we have also read the notice of the death of “Sir Tuomas May of Louisiana.’’ These are evidently bogus titles. There are no earls in Durkheim and no baronets in Louisiana. The gentleman who playfully called himself Sir Taomas May varied his fantastico aspirations to a title by creating himself Earl of Mayfield,” an earldom not marked on any map of Louisiana. The real earls and dukes and barons of this country are the railroad kings, the Standard Oil nobility, the ce@f baronsand lobby lords. They do not wear fantastico titles. On the contrary, they studiously avoid such display. But in real power and influence they are stronger than any House of Peers has been in the last two hundred years. TOO LATE. From the anti-monopoly element of the Republican party in Lilinois comes a loud call on the Democrats to drop MorrRIson and heip them rid the Republican party of its plutocratic yoke by uniting with the minority of the Republican caucus to elect Payson, or either of the defeated caucus candidates over FaRWELL. It must be very mortifying to the masses of the party to see a millionaire promoted over the head of a man who has served so long and so ably in the House as Cannon, or to see one of the capitalists of a great land monopoly syndicate nominated over Parson. who ran on his record of 1 having taken a leading part in passing a y . & ee through the. House forfeiture bills restor- ing to the public domain and to the people enough land to make three States as large as Illinois. By nominating FaRWELL over Payson, the Republican party of that State repudiated the record of its Congressmen on the land forfeiture bills, indorsed the opposition of the Senate to those bills, and sent another millionaire to increase the plutocratio composition and tendenoy of what the New Tork Wor.p calls “the House of Purses.’’ But the Republicans opposed to that sort of thing surrendered both the right and the power to elect some other Repub- lican over FARWELL when they went into the caucus and bound themselves to abide by its decision, There are circumstances under which @ minority party may render good and patriotic service in helping a minority of the majority party to put its best men in office. But the appeal.of a caucus minority to the opposite party from a caucus decision is always made too late for any practicable or proper relief. A WOMAN'S WILL. Society, which has recently grown ac- customed to repetitions of the familiar shock experienced when the heiress elopes with the coachman, is now called on to endure a convulsion over the an- nouncement that a young woman in Chicago, a young lady of refinement, education, social position and wealth, both actual and prospective, proposes to marry the condemned anarchist, Spigs. Well may society exclaim with Ko-Ko in the Mikado, Here's a state of things.“ The father of the eccentric damsel seems to know her very well and says that he has not opposed the idea be- cause he knew it would be no use, and the Sheriff of Chicago, who has charge of the future bridegroom, seems to have an accurate knowledge of the situation in general as expressed in the sententious opinion: “If people want to make —— fools of themselves I know of no law to prevent them.“ But it is needless to say that the wealthy and aristocratic relatives of the bride- elect are ma state of mind. The wealthy aunt has disinherited her disobedient niece, and the Marriage License Clerk of Chicago has assumed the guardianship of the moral interests involved by sitting as a judge in the case and declaring that he will not issue a license for a marriage he does not approve of. It might be well to remind those who think of further interference that there is a good old English rhyme which says: „Ha woman will, she will—you may depend on’t; And üshe won't, she won’t—so there's an end ont. — . — — THE LAW OF DIVORCE. The present session of the Legislature promises to be occupied largely with ques- tions which are rather moral than po- litical. The submission question has been forced on the Legislature by a strong pressure of public opinion. It involves the settle- ment of the prohibition question. In addition to this non-politica) issue, the Legislature will be called on to deal witha bill materially changing the divorce laws of the State. At present divorce is practically within the reach of any discontented married couple. Lax as the laws are aud numer- ous as are the legal grounds, it is to be feared that at least one-half of the many divorces granted in this State are obtained by illegal collusion between ill-mated couples who wish to be free. The new law would make adultery the sole ground on which a divorce could be obtained. Such a law is undoubtedly in accord with the higher and better moral senti- ment of the State. That sentiment be- lieves that laxity of divorce is an insidious injury to the cause of morality. The fam- ily tie is one of the strong safeguards of society, and any law which weakens this tie lowers the moral tone of the people. The religious sentiment and the family senti- ment are alike opposed to the prevalent facility of divorce, and will support any such legislation as is proposed. — —— tp — — ATTORNEY-GENERAL CASSIDY has scored another important victory for the Consti- tution and the people of Pennsylvania in his campaign against law-defying corpo- rations. In spite of the statute forbidding foreign corporations to hold lands in that State, the Erie Railroad bought the whole of the capital stock of the Northwestern Mining and Exchange Company, including about 30,000 acres of coal lands belonging to that company. In a proceeding to have these lands declared escheated to the State, Attorney-General Cassi has ob- tained fromthe State Supreme Court a decision that, ifthe evidence shall show to the satisfaction of a jury that the Northwestern Mining and Ex- change Company is a mere device to conceal the true ownership of the land in question, and to evade the law when the Erie Company is the real proprietor, then the lands afore- said escheat to the State, unless the Erie Company can show affirmatively that it has been authorized by special law to ac- quire and hold said land. Thus again has the device of a dual incorporation failed toenable corporations to evade the laws of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Vanderbilt’s Beautiful Necklace. From the Chieago Tribune. There was a new operas and a new necklace for the fashionable people to see this week. The opera was *‘Merlin,’’ and it was well enough in ite way. The triumphant article was the famous string of pearis which had to dazzle beholders accustomed to lavish adornments. It consists of 6 Oriental pearis, set in a golden chain, and it was valued then at about $150,000. Napoleon’s widow put it into a safe deposit vault in Paris on her retirement to Ohiselhurst, and there it lay until the recent sale of her useless effects. William K. Vanderbilt and his wife were in the French capital. and they purchased it at $130,000. They bought other things from the Eugenie collection—mostly household em- bellishments—and these will be disclosed at next week’s reopening of the Fifth avenue residence. But Mrs. Willie Vanderbilt put on the necklace for the opera. It was WOrn across the top of her head, thénce down the back of her coiffure to her neck, which it encircled, with enough left to hang down on her bosom. Not a singer on the stage, and hardly a dan- seuse, commanded so many glasses as did Mrs. Vanderbilt and her necklace. The Vote on the Cullom Bill. From the Chicago Tribune (Rep.). With an exception or two hardly worthy of mention the Senators who voted against the Interstate Commerce bill all come from a nar- row strip of country along the Atlantic sea- board, with Boston and New York as the seats of influence and power. These Sena- tors are the creatures of the Eastern pluto- crats—representatives of a few thousand con- stituents who own several billions of railroad stocks and bonds, largely watered. The Sen- ators controlled by the Eastern bond and mortgage holders and stock and currency manipulators voted solidly against the bill, and up to the last moment they bad the sym- pathy and support of a few recreants living outside the plutocratic section ofthe Union. Some of these unfaithful Western Senators got on very thin ice in their attempts to have the bill recommitted and so killed, for the present session at least. They made wry faces when brought to face the main question, but when there was no longer an opportunity to snift or evade the issue they took their medi- cine and voted for the bill, but were swearing mad. Still the proposition to recommit was the real test, and the people ofthe West can safely balance accounts with their Senatorial representatives according to the way their votes were cast on that motion. Speed of Toboggans—Not so Verv Fast. From the Spirit of the Times. A time test was made January 5 on the Ridgefield slide, near Albany, N. I. The slide was clear of snow, and the bed smooth and clean. From the top of the slide to the bridge, a distance of 240 feet, the time was 4/2 seconds. This ts at the rate of a mile in 1 minute 39 seo- onds, but the speed is maintained only down the slide, and falis off at once on the level. During the past week Mr. W. O. Eschwege, Captain of the Nassau Tobogganing Club, has supervised a series of trials on the huge slides at Washington Park, Brooklyn, and, with everything in perfect order, the fastest time made down the 200 feet of platform was 4 sec- onds—not quite as fast as the Ridgefield trial. The fastest time made over the 660 feet of the Washington Park slide and runway has been 16 seconds, which would be at the rate of a mile in 2 minutes 8 seconds. And yet with these and similar facts in easy reach, fools and liars continue to prate about 1,400 feet in 12 seconds at Orange, a mile in 30 seconds at Tuxedo, and three miles in a minute on the ‘‘expert’’ toboggan. Coal Pool Squeezes Miner and Con- sumer. From the Philadelphia Record. The Commonwealth introduced some valu- able testimony yesterday in the suite against the coal pool. Through Mr. John L. Butler, Clerk in the State Bureau of Industrial Sta- tistics, it was shown by the returns of the em- ployers that the average weekly wages of per- sons employed in and about anthracite coal mines have been as follows: The JBUB. . ccccccccccccccsccoccccescovcoeccosass 99594 $7 58 1883 «„ „ ee ee eee eeeteeeee rears Ser eeet „„ 7 40 1886Gũm ] „„ cosecese 6 90 USSD 2 neces soccccccccccsescseccoececes ——ͥL—ͤ 6 47 These figures come from sources that can- not be questioned, aud effectually upset the declarations of the coal companies that they maintain the poolto keep up the payof the miner. The coal pool squeezes the miner at one end and the consumer at the other end. They Don’t Want Office. From the Toledo Commercial. There is evidence to show that in the Ameri- can newspaper man has been developed that rarest of living things—a man who does not wantoffice. Editor Childs of Philadelphia declined the Mayoralty of that tity. Editor Pulitzer of the New York WORLD accepted an office, but soon resigned. Editor Grady ofthe Atlanta Constitution does not want to be Vice-President. Editor Medill of the Chicago Tribune declines the Illinois Senatorship. The excess of modesty of the profession is shown by the fact that most of these declina- tions are made before the offices have been offered.

THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. NEw Tonk, January 18,—The WORLD says: „There is naturally much speculation at Washington as to the use made of the two millions of Pacific Railroad money for which the officers would give no explanation. Sen- ator Sherman says: ‘Ican’t see for the life of me howthey managed to dispose of such enormous sums. Then he advances the theory that ‘the accounts were fixed up so as to get the benefit of the Government 25 per cent allowance.’ Lobbying at Washington does not explain it all. The railroad kings found it safer and cheaper to defeat their op- ponents and elect theirtools, than totrust to buying votes in Congress. Hence their $100,- 000 contributions to Republican campaign funds. Hence Stanford, Stewart, Dolph, Mitehell, Bowen, Teller and their corporation protecting associates in the Senate. Hence the defeat of honest representatives like Lawrence of Ohio, and the effort now making to beat Senator Van Wyck. Thisis ‘where the money went. No wonder the disbursers re- fuse to expilain,’’ THE TIMES. The Times says: It an officer of the United States army were to make a political speech for Henry George or for anybodv else he might properly be called to account for it, quite as sharply as Dr. McGlynn has been, and it would be quite as ridiculous to describe his citation as an attack upon his political belief. A man gives — some ot his natural rights when he subscribes a creed or signs articles apes join- ing a profession. If he insists upon being un- trammeled in the enjoyment of his natural liberty, he can regain it by leaving his church orresigning his commission. The question whether he has violated his professional obli- ations fs one to be tried by the 8 tri- unals, and no tribunal would be proper which cared what the Central Labor Union thought about the merits of the case. THE SUN. The Sun says: The name of Gen. Boulan- er, warrior, now fills the world. Perhaps fr. and Mrs. Boulanger of Brayes County, Michigan, have 72 done as much to make the name worthy of fame. In two years they bave added nine little Boulangers to the pop- ulation of the Wolverine State. In France this enterprising family would receive a bounty. In this country they must be content with an honorable mention and the reflection that the arts of peace are greater than the arts of war.’’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘‘In the French Senate yesterday it was announced that the Govern- ment was wellaware of an outrage perpetrated on the French fishing vessel St. Malo, in the waters’ near Newfoundland; that the affair was now the subject of inquiry in England;. and that appropriate orders had been sent from Paris to the commander of the French naval station. Now, despite the dislike which the English feel for French people, and the respect they profess for the United States, has any man outside the State Department at Washington any doubt as to which nation will et the earliest satisfaction out of Great ritain?’’ ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Queen Victoria’s Coach for Court Functions During the Jubileé Year—Prince Roland Bonaparte’s Marriage — The Manor of Maynooth for Sale-A Grand Ball-The Jerusalem Bishopric Fund—Praising Lord Iddesleigh. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lowpon, January 18.—[Copyright, 1887.]— The Queen’s coachmakers at Derby, the Messrs. Holmes, have just renovated one of Her Majesty’s six-seat coaches In preparation for the court functions of the jubilee year. The door hanales and armorial bearings are of gold, as also are the crest and order of St. George upon the roof. The body of the car- riage is of vermillion, picked out with gold, and the springs and all the ironwork are gilt. Representations of the crown and Garter are among the adornments of the equipage, which is lined with biue silk. No fewer than 4,000 leaves of gold were used in the decoration. APPROVED BY EUGENIE. Ihear from Italy that the ex-Empress Eu- genie has in person communicated her ap- proval of the marriage of Princess Letitia to Prince Roland Bonaparte, and has signified her intention of settling a dowry on the young lady and of presenting her with all her jew- elry. But the course of what may be pre- sumed to be true love, nevertheless, does not run smooth, although it is true that the pater- nal Plon-Flon is quite willing that his daughter should wed the son of his despised cousin Pierre, and of the milliner; Clemence Rufling. King Humbert remains obstinately opposed to the match, his repugnance being caused chiefly by the circumstance that Prince Ro- land’s income of over $150,000 a year is derived from the profits of the Monte Carlo gaming tables. He was penniless until he married Marie Blanco, who died in 1882, leaving behind her an infant daughter who is one of the wealthiest children in Europe. THE MANOR OF MAYNOOTH. It is said that the Duke of Leinster, who has already made arrangements for selling the bulk of his property in Ireland to his tenants under Lord Ashbourne’s act, has offered for sale the manor of Maynooth, which has been in his family almost ever since the Conquest, and which includes the splendid castle, now aruin, from which a monkey, according to the tradition, rescued the heir of the Fitzger- alds on the occasion of a fire, whence the monkeys in their armor tal bearings to this day. A GRAND BALL. I hear from Cannes that the dance at the Hotel de Californie, on Tuesday, almost eclipsed the ball at the Circle Nautique, on the previous evening. Among the guests were Gen. Palfrey, U. S. A.; Mr. Myburghb, Q. O.; Mr. Ashmead Bartlett, M. P., now thoroughly rested from his political labors and once more thirsty for the fray; Miss Grant, Miss Mulhol- land, Miss Pole Carew, Mrs. Salisbury Hughes, whose husband helped Miss Harvey to lead the cotillion, and Miss Holland. The dancing was kept up till after dawn. UPTON PYNB CHURCH. Lord Iddesleigh read the lessons at Upton Pyne Church, of which his third son, the Hon. and Rev. John Nortbcote, is rector, the Sunday before his death. The church was built in 1328 and restored about ten years ago by Sir Stafford Northcote, who was lord of the manor, patron of the living. GOING A- BEGGING. It is not often thereisasum of something like $110,000 going a-begging, but this is the condition of the condition of the Jerusalem Bishopric fund. Originally the English and Prussian Governments endowed it with 75,000 each, reserving the right of alternate presentation. The first turn was given to our Government, the intention being that Dr. MacCaul, a well-known biblical scholar of the day, should be appointed. How- everit was given to a Mr. Alexander. The next time Dr. Gobat was nominated and at his death Dr. Barclay was consecrated, but he died in a year or two. Now, the Prussians, or, it may be properly said, Prince Bismarck, have other fish to fry, and they desire to wash their hands ofthe whole thing. In the mean- time the English fund, by reason of frequent vacant intervais and compound interest, has reached the figure named above, $110,000. SOUNDING LORD IDDESLEIGH. The resourcefulness of the ‘‘picturesque biographer’’ has been somewhat heavily tuxed during the past week in the attempt to do justice to the memory of Lord lddesieigh. It has never seemed sufficient to say that he was a fine type of the English gentleman at his best, but we have him ‘‘the white flower of a blameless life,’’ ‘‘a very parfait knight,’’ and so on, over and over again. Some papers have attempted to define what they mean by a gentieman, forgetful that it has been accom- plished once for all by a master band. I won- der that nobody has thought of annexin Thackeray’s words at the conclusion o The Four Georges’’ which describe the late Lord Iddesleigh almost as if they had been written for him: What is it to be a gentleman? It is to have lofty aims, to lead a pure life, to keep your honor virgin, to have the esteem of your fel- low citizens and the love of your fireside, to bear good fortune meekly, to suffer evil with constancy, and through eviland good to main- tain the truth always. Show methe happy man whose life exhibits these qualities, and him we will salute as gentieman, whatever bis rank in life may be. Show me the prince who ossesses tuem, and he may be sure of our 1 — — loyalty.’’ Nowhere outside his native land, I am sure, will Lord Iddesleigh’s death be more sincerely lamented than in the United States and at Washington, especially, where be made hosts offriends during his stay inthe American capital as one of the British commissioners on the Alabama claims. As an ex master of fox- hounds, he showed the whole field the way in a hard run with the Maryland bunt. In nota tew Washington houses there han to this day a large photograph ot the five British com- missioners, prominent in the foreground of which are the phenomenally thick soles of Sir Stafford Northcote’s boots, which, for the time, quite set the fashion with the ped of Pennsylvania avenue.

Me SURGEON-GENERAL WOLSELEY. I notice that some papers speak of the late uty Surgeon-General Wolseley, who met Dep his death 10 an accident in India the other day, as aving been Lord Wolse- ley’s only brother, while other journals aim at na this statement by pointing out that in Col. C. B. Wolseley, C. B., one of Se Adjutant -General ofthe Bengal Army, his Lordship has yet another brother. a matter of fact Wolseley, until the misfortune which he m „Burke 's Peerage’’ is in error in Lord W baronetcy. This right came through his grand- father. His father abandoned all claim to the title and was educated for the Catholic priest- hood, but gave up his Profession, married, and moved to America. The Mays originally lived in Ireland, and Chief Justice May, who resigned his seat at Dublin a short time since, was Sir Thomas May's cousin. Sir Thomas died a dis- appointed and broken-hearted man. A bitter estrangement sprang up some years aco between him and his wife, who is an accom plished American lady, and he has never seen her since he came to live in England. She ig now in Virginia. Three children, a daughter and two sons, were born, but he has left all the property to the two sons, cutting both wife and daughter off with a Shilling each. At one time he was very wealthy, inheriting a larce estate in Louisiana from his father. On this estate there were 2,000 slaves, but Sir Thomas was opposed to slavery and set them all free just before the outbreak of the war. He had been ill with Bright’s disease many months previous to bis death, and had received the kind attention of a few very devoted friends. His recognition as a baronet came but a short time before he was taken III. **HARD HIT.’’ Hard Hit,’’ the new comedy drama ot Mr. Henry Arthur Jones, was produced at the Haymarket last night before a large and brilliant audience, from whom it obtained a most unequivocal approval. It is a remarka- bly strong play. Its story, while not alto- gether new, has some striking, novel features. stephen Cudlip is a schemer and a bad young man. He isasolicitor by profession, and has learned that a certain young girl, Bertha Saxon, has $400,000 in Chancery. lie seeks to marry her, not knowing that she has been secretly married already to Geoffrey Calvert, a reckless young man, who loses everything in betting on horses, but is honorable and has a good heart. Everything goes against the husband, and Cudlip takes advantage of it with the aid ofa woman who isin love with Calvert, and who, like Cudlip, does not know that he is married to Bertha Saxon. The compi cation of the plot is sufficient to keep up the interest until the very last act. Mr. Jones has shown great skill in reserving the denoue- ment to the very last act. The strongest scene in the play is in the last act, when the wife, whose honor had been assailed, and who hai been deserted by her husband, stood face to face with the man who had done her the wrong. The audience was most em- phatic in its and the author ———, was enthusiastically called before the curtain at the conclusion. Miss Marien Terry played the part of the wife with touching earnestness and affection, while Mr. E. S8. Willard has a most effective character in Tony Saxon, the father. The other characters were generally well taken and the piece was weil mounted. It was one of the most successful first nights seen in London for some time past. PAULINE HALL’S HUSBAND. Those who know Miss Pauline Hall of the Casino at New York will be Interested to know that her husband, Edmund White, has just closed the sale of the celebrated gold mine, Lady Franklin, in New Mexico for $1,000,000, The papers were signed last Thursday, and the transaction is now complete. The negotia- tions have been in progress for nearly a year, and Mr. White has made three tripsin the meantime to New Mexico. He has a large in- terest in the purchasing company, and has re- fused an offer to * 80,000 sharesjof the stock at par. Mr. White is supposed to have made a small fortune and is going over to Carlsbad to enjoy himself. THE NOBLE VAGABOND.’’ The Noble Vagabond,“ atthe Princess, is not to be withdrawn afterall. Ittook a sud- den turn for the better, and the business has been so good lately that all thought of its failure has been dismissed. Mr. Jones, the author, is feeling quite cheerful over the happy outcome and thinks the plece is now sure to go to America. THE IRON MASTERS. »The Iron Masters. George Ohnet’s story, which was dramatized and unsuccessfully produced by Steele Mackaye in New York, two or three years ago., has deen drama- tized by the author himself and brought out at the Gymnase Theater in Paris under the name of La Comtesse Sarah. The part of Miss Sarah, the princi. pai character, is taken by Mile. Jane Hading. Sarah is a beautiful Irish girl of the lower or- der, who had been lett a fortune by the Countess O' Donell, by whom she had been adopted. She married the gray-haired Gen. De Canalheilies, and then falls in love with his aide-de-camp,whom she had at first hated. Blanche De Cygne, a pretty and accomplished girl, turns up and robs Sarah of the affections of the aide-de-camp and the drama ends by Sarah’s throwing herself into an Irish lake. The performance ts described by correspond- ents of the London papers as haying deen successful, the piece being full of brilliant dialogue and dramatic situations. Mile. Jane — is particularly praised for her fine acting. — A TERRIBLE VOYAGE. The Experience of the Steamer State of Pennsylvania in a Heavy Sea. New Tonk, January 18.—The State Line steamer State of Pennsylvania looked as though she had passed through a naval battle as she slowly steamed upto her dock at the foot of Leroy street.

The four lite-boats were gone, together with their davits, and part of the port rail abaft the bridge had been torn away and the rent patched up with ropes and leces of board.

Capt. Mann says he neyer experienced such a xigantic wave befor and the passengers, who were la to get on terra firma, described it as awful. The steamer was five days over-due and has occupied seventeen days in the passage from Glasgow. Rough weather all the way retarded her passage, and the ac- cident made matters worse. It was on the lith inst., that the steamer was olf the banks of Newfoundland. Capt. Mann had just re. tired to his cabin to obtain a little rest, and Second Officer Walker and Third (Officer Arthurs were also in bed. Chief Officer Down- ing alone stood on the bridge. The vess+i was steering west-southwest, rightin the teeth of the wind which was blowing fresh. Suddealy the officer saw A TREMENDOUS SEA ADVANCING. It was in the form of a pyramid and seemed to tower far above the vessel. It came down onthe deck just abaft of the bridge, and swept toward the stern, carrying everything with it. The stout life boats were crushed to ments, and two of them, stocked with 4 week's provisions, carried overboard.

The huge late lass of the skylight was smashed and tons of water, carrying broken glass and movable articles from the deck above, poured into the saloon. mony of the saloon passengers were at dinner and the scene that followed almost baffles do. scription.

Oficial reports of the Deputy United States supervisors made to Chief Supervisor H. D. Wood, are herewith submitted in evidence of the extensive frauds committed in this city on last election day. As it was expected that the State Grand-jury, now in session at the your Courts would take up the investigation during the adjournment of the Federal jury, so far has been confined the inquiry to points touching the Congressional election. Even many of the offenses discovered during the inguiry so directed are not punishable in the Federal Courts. fteadfastness is one of the characteristics that marks Judge Treat’s conduct on the bench, and there is no doubt but thatthe offenders who are caught under the Federal law will get their ques, but as no statutory provision ie made in the Federal law for such offenses there is a possibility of some of the criminals going unpunished. In view of the abundance ot evidence already presented, the public must wonder why the State Grand-jury is so backward in inaugurating an investigation into the frauds committed at the election of State and municipal officers last November. What compromise the State offi- cers and jurors may be able to make with their consciences in this matter is something only they can tell. A mass of evidence has been presented already, but to-day the Post-Dis- PATCH gives the official reports, made under oath to the Chief Supervisor of Elections for the Eastern District of Missouri by the depu- ties, who canvassed the precincts in the cen- tral portion of the city prior to the election, and who attended at the polls on election day.

GIETNER, United States Supervisor, On receiving the poll-books of the nintb precinct on October 29, after the Boards of Revision and Review had completed their work and approved of the registration, De- puty Supervisors Martin and Zimmerman made ‘canvases of the precinct. It was found during this verification that names of persons were carried on the booksas gualified to vote when in reality the parties had removed long before the election. With this information the supervisors stood ready to challenge the ballot of persons appearing at the polis on election day to vote on these names. The results are shown in the reports to Chief Supervisor Wood. By arather peculiar Oversight no in. structions were given the deputies on the sub- ject of arresting or causing the arrest of illegal voters or persons attempting to cast illegal votes. As their identity is known, however, in nearly every instance, this mistake can be easily rectified by the Grand-juries. In Fre- mot No. 10 three persons illegally scratched were refused the right to vote. In a fourth instance the judges accepted the vote never- theless. The strikersin this ward evidently weakened as no one appeared to vote some of ; the false registrations. 14TH PRECINCT, FIRST WARD.

Challenges. Poli-book, Time. they had completed the canvass they found that over one-half of the registrations were fraudulent. These included straw men, non- residents, removais, eto. Following their in- structions the supervisors on the following day took up their stand at the poll determined, as far as possible, to prevent further wrong in ‘the conduct of the election at that precinct by challenging any persons not entitled to a vote and who offered to cast one. At 10;15 on election day John Mitchell and W. B. Christian, or at least two men who represented that such were their respective names, approached the polling booth. They were registered from Hotel Brown, corner of Twelfthand Olive streets. On consulting their book the supervisors challenged the votes. They demanded the reason, and were told that it was because they were fraudulently registered. Supervisor Smith had ascertained that they did not live at the Hotel Brown and could find no trace of the men there during the precinct canvass. The men volunteered to get certificates from the Recorder of Voters at the City Hall. The men were warned that it they voted they would be arrested. They dia vote and were taken in charge by the Marshal on instructions of the supervisors. The pair were marched down to the Custom house to the office of the Vistrict- Attorney. When they reached the third floor the Marshal walked ahead of his prisoners until he entered the offices on Locust street when he found that Christian bad given him the slip. Mitchell was held and that afternoon Capt. Brown of Hotel Brown called on the District-Attorney to assure him that Mitchell was a guest at his house. In further proof ofthis statement he presented the register and the cash book of the house bearing the hotel registration and what purported to be Mitchell's account. Mr. Bliss informed Capt. Brown that these facts might be established before the United States Commissioner on the following day. in the meantime the books containing the evidence and supposed to be forged and manufactured were seized and are now held for court. Mitchell was not kept in confinement very long, as Ed Butler, the son ofthe First Ward ‘‘Boss,’’ furnished bond. Since Mitchell's indictment he has jumped his bond and is now mysteriously missing. Owing to the lack of instructions in the ques- tion of arresting offenders or those attempt- ing to cast fraudulent votes, the supervisors remonstrated with the parties offering, instead of at once resorting to the sterner methods and placing the parties under arrest. In many instances, when the supervisors found persons on the point of offering illegal ballots, they argued with them, showing that they knew the votes were not legal, and the citizen, repeater, striker or whatever he hap- pened to be withdrew his offer to vote and no further action was taken. This will explain the entries ‘‘withdrew offer to vote’’ in the above report. In the 98th Precinct, Tenth Ward, the judges did not even give many of the colored voters a show. Several of them who had been stricken from the poll books in the wholesale wiping out of the colored vote had secured reinstatement by making the legal appeal,but on election day they found themselves as badly ott as ever. Though their names, addresses and registration numbers appeared on poll-books and were undisputed the judges and clerks would not receive the votes as the word ‘‘colored’’ inserted under the provision for the better identification of the voter had been marked out by some person. Advantage was taken of this to disfranchise a large num- ber of voters as reported by Supervisor Kraut to Chief Supervisor Wood as follows: 98TH PRECINCT, TENTH WARD. 75.

President Young Tenders Some Valuable Advice on the Subject. I have been asked this question, writes President Young: Suppose A reaches first on called balis; the pitcher sends the next three men to base in like manner, forcing A to home piate, is the run earned? I would say, most emphatically, yes. The new rules give a bats- manthe premium of a base hit for patiently waiting for a good ball, and though the pitcher is fined to the same extent, any run so gained is earned. This query has also been propounded: A reaches first on a safe hit; B forces him out at seconad--no chance fora double Play; B finall scores a hit; is B's run earned? To this would answer, no. A man must earn bis first. Had A not occupied tne base B would probably have been retired. It would be be manifestly unfair to credit B with an earnedran after he had forced a man out by his weak batting and scored on the hits of other plavers. The same rule would, of course, hold were B to reach first on being struck by the pitcher or upon an legally delivered ball. I have seen it stated that the pitcher is not to receive an assist for a strike-out under the amended rules. This is an error, the rule ex- pressly providing that the pitcher shall be given an ussist as well as a credit for the strike-out in the summary. I have been asked where the line of demark- ation lies between a base hit for a batsman and an error forafielder. I am free to say that the distinction is frequentiy so fine as to be simply a matter of personal opinion, thougha few general considerations should govern the majority of cases. In the first lace I would adopt the player’s standpoint n scoring hits. It is, of course, impossible for the scorer to accurately estimate the abil- — of each particular fielder, nor can de tell whether the players are in good form. While these important points cannot weigh with the reporter, be can judge as to the honesty and sincerity of the effort made and the result ob- tained should be considered in that light. Record players are soon recognized and should be unsparingly dealt with. The fielder of the future is the man who tries for every- thing and allows his ‘‘average’’ to look out for itself. Hot drives to the infleld should be held or handled if they go directly to a player. A first baseman is sometimes to be excused for failing to hold a liner from a left-handed batsman, for those bitters certainly screw a ball around to first with terrific force, but balls batted directivto a fielier should not go througu him. There is a certain bound in the outfield, between the short-bound— which is easily picked up by the skilful layer—and the long bound, which can be judgea with little difticuity. It strikes a few eetin frontofa flelder and is liable to car- rom atany angle, usually leaving the ground sharply and going over the fleider’s shoulder. Ifthe player stops it he is assisted by chance to a great degree and should not be given an error if he fails to do 80. To score an error against a fielder who makes a long, hard run fora fly the ball shouid strike his hands fairly and constitute a palpable muff. These catches are drilltant points in fielding, and attempts at them should be encouraged in every legitimate way. — DENNY AND NEW YORK. Manager Mutrie Makes a Proposition Which Is Too Light. Manager James Mutrie of the New York League Club arrived inthe city last evening and registered at the Lindell. Mr. Mutrie said that he took the trip West from the metropolis in order to relieve a severe cold which he had contracted on a toboggan slide, but his real reason for coming so far away from home was to secure Jerry Denny, the fa- mous third baseman of the St. Louis Club. Since Esterbrook’s release Truthful Jeems’’ has been after Jerry, but never was he so near laying his hands upon him as he was last night in a brief consultation with President Strom- berg in the hotel lobby. The conversation was something after the following mauner: „Mr. Stromberg, I thought I would ask you about Denny while I was out here.’’ Tes?“ „„es. You know I’d like to have Denny, and Denny often said he’d like to play with us. Now, what can we do about it? What do vou think?“ „Weil, suppose you make a proposition?’’ Mr. Mutrie then made a proposition some- where ia the neighborhood of $2,500, but this Mr. Stromberg thought too light a compensa- tion forthe right hand corner of the ‘‘granite wall’’ and refused. The matter stands in this condition atpres- ent, but Mr. Mutrie says he may communicate with Denny before he feaves town and it is not altogether impossible that Jerry will be ‘*fixed’’ before James returns to the toboggan slide.

John Lawrence Sullivan, the hitter, is going to make a book bearing his name as author. A contract binding him to this work is reposing snugly in a drawer at one of the publishing houses iu this city. This instrument is signed also by Patrick Sheedy of Chicago, the hitter’s bosom friend and only manager. It waits no more than the triumphal return of this pair frum knocking out various obstacles in the West to begin the work of composi- tion. The book will then be rushed as rapidly as possible to completion. The name under which it will be issued is not fully de- cided, but it will probabil be ‘‘Memoirs. by Jahn L. Sullivan.’’ II it ſs not this it will be Reminiscences.’’ It is said that Sullivan favored ‘‘Memorabilia;’’ but Sheedy reminded him that this title, though strikingly signifi- cant and appropriate intrinsically and phil- Ologically considered, was associate in the minds of the literary public too closely with men noted for their peaceful ten- dencies; and that, moreover, many people 91 inclined to underrate Mr. Sullivan would be still more deeply prejudiced by this title, seeing in it only a sly attempt to knock out of literary estimation by comparison the man whose name has been for a score of cen- turies associated with it—the genial Greek historian Xenophon. S8ullivan’s generous nature yielded to this argument and ‘*Memo- rabilia’’ was abandoned. The suggestion of this enterprise is due to Sheedy, though its basis ig a deeply seated grudge of the pugilist against his enemies—the news- papers. Sullivan has long felt that a good shaking up of the journalistic profession wowd be of inestimable satisfaction to him. But, he . lem hers du combat in this matter. at go round the country knock- ing out the editors Ill get jugged. [The literary John has a delig ~ gm naive wa of using the popular dialect of the time.

A portion of the publisher’s du under the contract will be to#upply for Sullivan a competent amanuen- sis. John L. probably does not wish to risk the enamelled hardness of his fists with the enervating use of the pen. He will talk to the amanuensis in his own free fashion about his life, hie training, his encounters, his social suc- cesses and particularly about the newspapers, against which he makes the terrible threat that he will call them by name! The penman willthen transfer John L.’s reminiscences narrations, and opinions to paper in goo English. It may be luferred that the amanu- ensis will de a very important factor in the construction of this literary work. Perhaps he will;the publishing house has not yet se- cured a satisfactory man for the undertaking, and is still looking for him with a limited fist- ful of money. — — .. _—_—-_-- NO HIPPODROMER. What George W. Atkinson Has to Say About Jem Smith. George W. Atkinson of the London Sporting Life has written this letter: ‘‘Jem Smith, the famous pugilist and the recognized champion of England, will sail from Liverpool for Amer- ica on January 29. The objecS of the cham- pion’s visit to the United States is not to en- gage in any hippodrome matches, as several of the American papers claim, but to contend for the diamond belt which, it is thoroughly understood, represents the championship of the world. On Smith's arrival he will be prepared to arrange a match for £200 and upward and the champion beit of the world. Should there be any hitchin the arranging of the match, Smith will be ready to meet all comers for £200 and the belt. It is Smith's intention not to contend for the championship of the world underany but the London prize ring rules, which have governed ull encoun- ters for the championship both in England and America for the past forty years. and it is only by said rules Smith will contend in any contest in which the championship is involved. Smith isa clever, gentiemanly boxer, with no pretensions of boasting, and he is a scientific, courageous pugilist, and possesses all the qualifications necessary to be achampion. He is temperate in his habits, young, strong and sturdy, andthe best man that ever stood in the orthodox twenty-four foot ring since Jem Mace was in his prime. No matter what those opposed to him may say, the ee Eo trons ofthe prize ring in America will find him to be a sterling pugilist and a man that is well worthy of being classed champion of En- gland. Smith was in no way to blame for the fiasco with Knilton, and had the battle been fought Smith, bar wrangling, would no doubt have won. Gentlemen’s Driving Club. The Gentlemen's Driving Club held their an- nual meeting last night in the rooms of the Mercantile Club. The report of Secretary Clark showed that forty-one races had been trotted and paced during the past season. The treasurer's report showed receipts to be $1,870; disbursements, $1,706.32, leaving a bal- ance of $163.68. Messrs. J. H. Clements, Chas. Evans, W. N. Tivy, S. C. Bunn, E. F. Wiil- iams, Frank Doan, C. H. Scarritt, Edward Martin, Hugh Milis, John F. Gilbirds, Leo Moser, I. R. Trask and F. X. Barada were elected directors. Messrs. Tivy, Clements, Evans, Gilbirds and Scarritt were appointed a committee to secure a track for the coming season. Sporting Gossip, Alf. Powers is said to have an unknown 120- pound man to match against Willie Clark. Paddy Smith of Brooklyn has challenged Jack McAuliff to fight for $800 or $1,000 a side. The John L. Sullivan Combination is said to have cleared $12,000 by exhibition in Montana. Tom Cannon, the wrestler, bas arrived in Australia and made a match with Prof. Mu- ler. Jack Dempsey threatens to open a $10,000 barroom up town in New York, unless he arranges a match soon. Jem Mace will leave for America in March with his string of unnamed English boxers. Henry J. Rice of New York City wiil manager. Pete McCo has arranged with Reddy Gallager of Cleveland for a glove fighttoa finish, im the latter part of January, for a purse of $1,000. Tommy Warren and Tommy Danforth still steer clear of Willie Clark. The latter has backing for $2,000, but the so-called ‘‘ban- tam’’ champions do notseem anxious for a fight. John P. Clow writes from Denver that he isready to fight Jack Dempsey with skin gioves to afinish fora stake of $1,000 or $2,000 aside. He adds that he will meet Pat Killen shortly in a public glove contest of six rounds for a stake of $500 and gate receipts.

CLEARING THE JAIL. Figures“Which Show That the Good Work Goes Bravely On. There are at present in jail just 128 prisoners, which is the lowest number that has been in that institution for nine years. The fact is all the more remarkable because this is the sea- gon of the year when the place is usually most crowded, the number of prisoners in January rarely ever falling below 19. No- yember, December and January are the three Dig months ofthe year. There are two potent eauses for the reduction of the number of .

There are nine men under sentence to the Penitentiary from the Criminal Court, who have pot yet been taken to Jefferson City, and ten convicted murderers, most of whose cases are now before the State Supreme Court.

Broad- head Formerly Give an Opinjon That I Was Legal?—How Judge Portis Construes the Law and Constitatieon as to Street Ratlroads—The Old County Court Order Suit in the Supreme Court. Mr. T. J. Portis, General Solicitor of the Missouri Pacific Rallroad, makes the following statement relative to the argument recently made before the Supreme Court of the State concerning an old County Court order, giving the old Iron Mountain Road permission to lay tracks on certain streets in this city. Mr. Portis has been sick and unable to reply to Col. Broadhead earlier. His statement is as follows: On my return te St. Louis, my attention was called to a publication in your issue of the 12th inst., in which the namesof Mr. Gould, Ool. Broadhead and myselt re quite con- spicuously, and in which, I think, injustice is done to all of us. ickness and pressure of other business have prevented me from at- tending to this earlier. It is difficult to realize that Col. Broadhead made all the statements charged to him in the newspapers about this case. It is true he ad- mitted in open court his utter inability to un- derstand my position, and requested me to state it again, which I declined to do, for the reason that it seemed to be useless after my repeated explanations to the Court in his hear- ing. If Col. Broadhead did state that I de- ceived him as to the question involved, the Court to pass the Oounty " id 80 tor the reason that he did not and could not un- derstand my position; or he stated what he must have known to be untrue. The several points presented in the brief prepared by Judge Pike and myself, and the conciuding clause thereof, it seems to me, cannot be misunderstood by any one. The last clause reads thus: ‘‘Respondent respectfully sub- mits that the decision of the trial court was correct and should be affirmed.’’ To this one question solely all the arguments in the brief and those made orally were directed, There was no other Lu inthe case. The only effort made to inject anything else into it was made by Col. Broadhead himself. I never heard of Mr. Ellis’ connection witn the case until I read it in the newspapers after my return to St. ulis, IN REPLY TO JUDGE NORTON’S QUESTION I stated that the purpose of my argument was to show that the action of the Coun Court was one purely of discretion and not judicial, and, therefore, no appeal would iie therefrom. Andlapprehend Judge Norton and all the other Judges will bear me out in this state- ment, as have no doubt they all understood me clearly. The papers report Col. Broadhead as being greatly surprised at the line of * argument, and that I had misied him, eto. t may be he was misled. Icannot be responsible for his mis- takes. But he will not deny, I presume, that the matter was several times fully discussed in St. Louls by him during the week before the case was ve be tried—first, as he informed me, with Mr. Beil, then with Judge Pike, and then with me. Nor will he deny, I presume, that he knew the case was set for trial on the 10th inst., and that he tried to get both Judge Pike and myself to consent to amend the record so as to put in all the facts which would raise the question of the validity of the order of the County Court, and thus enable the Supreme Court to try the case on its merits, and we declined to consent thereto, He wanted that done de- cause of the interests of his clients who owned property along the railroad. We declined to consent to his proposition, on the ground that the only question in the case was the right of appeal, and we did not wish to have any other question injected into the case. Thereupon, Col. Broadhead told both Judge Pike and myself that he believed our position on that question was correct, and unless we would consent to amend the record as he proposed, so as to let the case be tried on the merits, he would have nothing to do with the case. hat was the last I heard of him until I met him in the Supreme Court room. And when he claims to have known nothing about my position in the case or that he did not know when the case was to be tried until he saw our brief and heard my argument to the Court, (which he certainly did not understand), his memory serves him as badly as it does about the written opinion his firmis saidto have formerly given the railroad company te the effect that it had the legal right to construct and operate the track on Poplar street, and for which opinion, it is said, they were lber - ally paid by the company. ME. BELL fully understood the ease and our position aboutit. so well did we agree about the facts to be presented to the Court that we accepted Mr. Bell’s statement ot them without altera- tion or addition. And he feels, I presume, no apprehension ot our alleged efforts to hood- wink tne Uourt, or that the Court will not fully understand the real question presented if Col. Broadhead can not. As stated to the Court, I do not think I should be beld responsible for his inability to com- prebend the —~ in the case. Nor dol think he or the papers should charge Mr. Gould and myself with deception or trickery because of such inability on bis part. So far as I know and believe all that has been said about Mr. Gould in connection with this mat- ter is wholly untrue. I donotthink Mr. Gould even knew there was such a case. Iam sure he did not know where I was or that the case was to be tried at that time. I knew he was expected to bein St. Louis that week, but I did notknow he was there until after he was gone. Both he and myself are certainly entirely innocent of any collusion, concert of action or design to deceive anyone about that case. It is passing strange that the press and people of a great city like St. uis shouid, on such slight foundation, make such unjust and untrue charges against Mr. Gould. It would seem that any man who would do for St. Louis what Mr. Gould has done, is doing, and would still do, it those most interested would permit him, ought not to be ridi- culed and abused, especially for things of which he is entirely innocent—not even know- ing of their existence—by the very people he bepefits most. There seems to exist a singu- lar misunderstanding of the provisions of the Constitution and laws ofthis State about raii- roads. And even Col. Broadhead, notwith- standing his former opinion above referred to, seems also to have caught the infection. Sec. tion 13, article 12, of the Constitution, reads: Any railroad corporation or association or- ganized tor the purpose, shall have the right to construct and operate a railroad between any points within this State, and to connect at the State line with railroads of other States.’’ UNDER THIS PROVISION, neither the Oity of St. Louis, nor the Legisla- ture of the State, in my opinion, can prohibit such railroad corporations frum constructing and operating tifeir roads between any points in this State, no matter now many streets it may be constructed along, upon, or across. The city by a proper exercise of its police ower mav regulate the manner of exercising such rights so as to protect life, property and the comfort and safety of society. Butit cannot prohibit the exercise of the absolute right given by the Constitution to constructand operate such railroads, nor can it repeal, alter or amend charters. ° Again, section 58, article 4 of the Constitu- tion says: The General Assembly shall not pass any local or special law granting to any corporation, association or individual any special or exclusive right, privilege or immu- nity, or to any corporation, association or in- divi ual the right to lay down a railroad track. It the Legislature is forbidden to authorize railroad tracks to be laid down by special act, can the City of St. Louis, the creature of the State, and subject to the provisions of its Constitution and laws, authorize such a thing by special ordinance? Is the creature more werful than the creator? It never was in- nded to vest such a power in a city or county. THERE 18 0 PROVISION in the Constitution of this State which au- thorizes any municipal authorities to prohibit the construction and operation of railroads along, across or upon streets or highways; nor is there any law in this State which au- thorizes municipalities to attach any con- ditions other than such as come prop- within their police powers, to their assent he manner in which such of the Constitution are timate lice wer life, Dealt and ereperty, and to preserve order. So far as fe grant of privileges by the order of the County Court 11 — all’ 2 in- m that ing of said connection. Ithink ie proper, after all that has been t this matter and myself, to ng statements to show the d them, to the end that both sides of the case may be understood. SPECIAL NOTICE.

T., January 18.—The Hoops wife- poisoning case, which gave rise toa sensa- tional trial at the December term of the County Court, and which terminated in a verdict of acquittal of the accused husband, now basa sequel in the opening of the Coroner’s in- quest under circumstances implying strong suspicions thata lately deceased conspicuous citizen of the county was foully done to death by poison, The investigation is being con- ducted by Coroner Barker and a jury sum- moned by him. The first step was the ex- bumation of the remains of John Griffen, a tormer property-owner and respected citizen of Hobart, who died, as was then ¢ yo of natural causes, on December 23, 1585, and the removal of the stomach and r of the intestines. These were placed in a glass jar under seal, and on Saturday were sent to an expert chemist at Albany for analysis. The e widow is a handsome and lively runette, who formerly moved in the highest charch and social society, and possessed a fair fame, unsmirched by scandal. In April, 1885, as she testified at the late trial, she became acquainted with Arthur F. Hoops, acoachman inthe employ of a neighboring family. He is a well edu- cated and notably good-looking man of 85 years, Prior to Mr. Griffin’s death, Hoops was A FREQUENT CALLER at the house on one pretext or another, and the cordiality between Mrs. Griffin and the coachman became a subject of remark. After the husband's death, oops, having in the meantime quit his place as coachman, was engaged pretty regularly in the fair widow's employ as gardener and overseer of her landed property, and the relations of the two became a matter of wile notoriety. It was at this stage of affairs, and in March last, while Hoops and his wife, who is a pretty, mild-mannered young woman, were boarding ata Mrs. Rollins’, that the alleged attempt by the husband to poison his wife occurred. Somebody, evidently with deadly intent, mixed cyanide of potassium with the salt in the dish placed by the side of Mrs. Hoops’ plate at the breakfast table. The authorities thought they saw a motive for the crime in a desire on Hoops’ part to rid him- self of his wife, that he might marry the widow Griffen, and he was arrested, indicted and brought to trial. At the trial the widow was an interesting and a self-possessed and positive witness for the defense in repudiating any unlawful intimacy with the accused man, She admitted on cross-examination, how- ever, that she GAVE BAIL FOR HIS APPEARANCE for trial because she thought he was inno- dent, and that she had transferred certain real estate to his leading counsel, but she denied that the tragsfer was in payment of counsel fees. The jury on the first ballot stood 8 to (for acquittal, and afterward united inaverdict of not guilty. The verdict was not satisfactory to many minds in the com- munityand when Hoops went back direct from the prisoner’s dock into the employ of Mrs. Griffen, suspicion and scandal were excited to redoubled intensity. The Cor- oner’s inquest now in progress is the outcome of the state of public feeling. The Coroner has as yet ordered no arrests, but it is under- stood that if the chemists’ analysis develops the tact that Griffen was killed by poison, one or more persons will be called to answer at the bar of justice for the crime. The theory is that Mrs. Griffen was to poison her husband and Hoops his wife, so that the widow and the coachinan might marry. The coachman, by accident, was prevented from carrying out his part of the agreement. Make Yourself a New Body. Purge away the old, diseased and worn out body, said Dr. Brandreth. Replace the dis- charged matters of the system with good, sim- ple food and thus build up a new and sound body in place of one feeble and diseased. Every man should know that he must be ‘‘renewed’’ at least once in two or three years, else he would soon break down completely. This re- newing process is easily brought about by purging with BRANDRETH’S PILLs. They put new life into old bodies. A UNIVERSITY SCANDAL. Gifts to the Chicago University Claimed and Sold by a Professor. CHICAGO, January 18.—A replevin suit was instituted yesterday afternoon by Mr. Fer- nando Jones against Louis J.Fraham,a barber, to recover a portrait of Mr. Jones’ father. An investigation by a reporter has resulted in re- vealing to the public a chapter in the affairs of the Chicago University, which has caused great surprise and much unfavorable comment from the local papers. It appears that early in the sixties the ladies of Chicago interested them- selves in fitting up the parlors of the University with portraits of distinguished men, and other articles of use and ornament. These — included portraits of Stephen A. uglas, Gov. Richard Yates, J. K. Pollard, J. H. Woodworth, J. Young Scammon, Thos. Hoyneand 8. Hoard. That of the war Gov- ernor, Yates, was by Antrobus; of Jones by Ooggswell, and that of Hoyne by G. P. R Healey. Mr. Fernando Jones claims it was never understood that these were to become University property, save as trusts in its care. Prot. Galusha Anderson seems to have thought . however, and as Chairman of the Executive Committee he got a mortgage upon them and upon the excellent library, presented for the most part by Harvey Thomp- son, and LEVIED UPON THEM FOR HIS SALARY. The library, itis stated, he traded for real estate, and the — — presented the books to the Baptist Theological Seminary at Wash - ington Heights. The pictares, it appears, went begging for purchasers. Mr. Fraham wrote Mr. Jones the other day asking what he would give for his father’s picture, and when Fer- nando went there to replevin the picture he found a number of the others in the barber’s back - room. Those of Messrs. Hoyne, Pollard and Hoard b ed had purchaser until it isadmirers. Ith SF —— sae at we mised —— the TWO FLAT NOVELTIES. | AUDRAN’S NEW OPERA, “INDIANA,” AND HELEN HASTINGS. — Not Much Promise in the New Musical Work rue New Star and Her Play Prove Fail ures—The Florences at Pope’s—The High Hat Ref a ent Notes, By Telegraph to the Post+-DIsPATCH- New Tonk, January 18.—Audran’s new comic opera, ‘‘Indiana,’’ presented by the McOaull Opera Company, drew & good-sized audience to the Star Theater last night. There was considerable interest to hear the last novelty from the pen of the author of the ‘‘Crowing Hen. The libretto is by Farnie, and his poem is said to have been put to music in its original shape. This was, of course, a very clever thing fora French composer to do. Itisa pity, however, that Audran should have fallen into the hands of so incapable a co-laborer, for he bas some pleasant num- bers in his score, and Col. McCaull has a goodly operatic company fitted for the delineation of better operatic character than the dense brain of Mr. Farnie could ever produce. Among the members of the com- pany who distinguished themselves last night were Miss Lilly Post, who sang several solos as an alleged American girl, Indiana Grey- faunt, (an excruciatingly funny name for an American girl, don’t you know) Mr. Digby Bell, who as the handsome young English operatic miller, Matto’ the Mill, amused the audience by excellent play and dance, as did Miss Annie Myers, the miller’s bride, and Mrs. Laura Joyce Bell, as Lady Prue. Mr. Ellis Ryse, as Sir Mulberry Mullit, was a character- istic figure of an Englishman ofa very old school, strongly feminding one in his make- up of the late Chevalier Wikoff, It would be a difficult task to give in short space any idea of the operatic story of ‘‘Ind- lang, it is so exceedingly stupid, too, that it would scarcely interest the readers of the Post-DISPATOH. Its jokes and puns are 80 poor that one wonders why Col. McCaull does not put his pencil through them and get some- body to rewrite the dialogue from beginning toend. The features of the operetta are the set ofthe first act, representing an English landscape with a mill, and a mill-wheel that Is kept going round by means of real water. The interest of the audience is to some extent kept up by watching the wheel go round and wond- ering how so slightacascade can turn so big awheel. But the second act has some bright features and bright singing. Mr. Digby Bell is funny, the chorus is artistically costumed. However, the judgment on the operetta asa whole must be that Col. McCaull is capable of much better work than is affordéd by ‘‘In- diana. When Farnie is good he is coarse; when he is original he is so unutterably stupid that no composer in the world can get any inspira- tion out of whathe writes. ANOTHER FEMININE IMPORTATION. Miss Helen Hastings, an English actress, made her debut before an American public at the Union Square Theater lastnight. She layed in a new comedy called Pen and Ink.“ Miss Hastings is young and pretty, Lotta- like in her acting and altogether does very clever, kitten ish work. She is badly handicapped, however, by a playthat is hopelessly bad. The author of Pen and Ink’’ is not named but is presumably a woman of the Duchess“ order. There was no stage business and al- most no attempt at acting. The characters came onthe stage, repeated their lines and ambied off again. it was for all the world like make-believe acting, such as all ot ug used to indulge in long ago, when we were boys and irls together and rigged up a stage in the old — he dialogue was drawn out and much of it seemed made up onthe spurof the mo- mentas the players went along. The title Pen and Ink is allowed because a married man and a younggul run away from a coun- try house and start a newsvaper. The young woman (Miss Hastings) puts on boy’s clothes and becomes the office boy, and what slender plot there is hinges’ on the difficulties sur- rounding these two. The humor (what there is of it) is English of the Punch order, and is very trying to the average American. The play was written for English characters and surroundings, but in bring- ing it here the management have tried to lo- calize it,and located the piece at Irvington-on- the-Hudson. The result is that a biond captain, impossible anywhere but in England, masquerades as something or otherina quite too indefinite way. The story of ‘‘Pen and Ink is the story ofany one ofthe cheap ro- mances dished up by the penny dreadfuls. Beautiful Flower Girl's Love““ or Manger, the Marvellous Me- lodeon Player's Bride, would act quite as intelligently if either of them was dramatized. There would at least be action and dialogue more to the point. It is a matter of regret that Miss Hastings does not appear under more favorable auspices. Nothing can redeem the play and her support seemed to take little interest in their parts. Eugene Jepson as the editor was good and Miss Hastings herself was clever, but when this is said allis said. The Florences at Pope’s. There is genuine merit in being entitled to name of ‘‘Chestnut.’’ It at least proves that there is good quality enough in the article to last, so that for my part I confess toa liking for the diet- once ip awhile. Here is ‘‘The Mighty Dollar’’ for inatance. There are more good, healthy, loud smiles in it now for the average audience than in nine of ten of the new comedies or farces, and the best of it is that when vou have spent the evening in laughing you do not leave with the impres- sion you are chief idiot in a company of idiots. The audience was not large at Pope's last night but it was jolly and appreciative, and laughed immoderately at the hits aud misses of Hon. Bardwell Siote and Mrs. Gen. Gilflory. Mr. and Mrs. Florence were as bright, spirited and entertaining as ever. The support did not develop much strength. Mr. Howard Coveney made a fig- ure that was far from romantic, and his little defiance of big J. McCulloch Ross, the Arthur Le Maitre, was on the verge of the ridiculous. Mr. Peronet’s Lord Cangorme was a weak et- fort, and Miss Florence Noble’s Clara Dart was rather poor and unartistic. Mr. Sterling was clever as Charlie Broad — Laura Clairon made a neat part of oy. ——— an Libby The High Hat Reform. The first round between Reform andthe High Hat at the Olympic was a tie. The structure was a little battered, had a pompon disarranged, the algrette knocked off and a feather ortwo plucked, but the walis were standing and it was able to intercept nearly as A of the scene painter’s domain as usual. There was a conacions air of embarrassment he small hats carried themselves jauntily and boidly and actually seemed to invite attention while hats that could not lay claim to diminutive. ness nodded apologeti y to the curious eyes that were scattered in the lobby and through the auditorium. It was a brave big hat that could run the gauntiet of lookers-on and the critical inves- tigation which followed it from the door to the seat in the dress circle or parquet.

Several ladies then went down with their hats on and considerately took back seats. Others came in, and going to their seats took their hass off and held them in their laps. Three young ladies who had front seats took off their hats and carried them in their hands, receiving a round of applause from the audience. Only two more besides the first left their hats in the rack-room. One of these was a medium-sized bat and the other looked like the dome of the Court-house decorated for the Velled Prophets’ parade. The greater number who deferred to public opinion preferred to keep their hats in their laps or to place them in some vacant and convenient seat. Every retty head that was bare was commended, owever, and hats off’’ was undoubtedly popular. aken altogether the first night of voluntary reform was a success and there is ev pros- pect that it will succeed as the ladies become accustamed to the innovation.

To aid the health authorities in this direction, and to secure freedom from these diseases in our own homes, let us destroy the disease-breeding germs arising from the sewers by the daily use of Platt’s Chlorides. To prevent disease is the ‘‘tendency of mod- ern medicine,’’ and because of the disinfect- ing power of Platt’s Chlorides it has become the sanitary agent adopted by our most eminent physicians. POISONED PIGS’ FEET. A Family at Dayton, O., Make an Almost Fatal Meal. DAYTON, O., January 18.—The family of Ger- hart Stephens bought, some time ago, six pigs’ feet, which were taken home and pickled. A few days ago the meat was served onthe table and Mrs. Stephens, her husband and a daughter 16 years of age ate of the same. On the evening of the same day the father, the mother and the daughter became violently sick, and suffered great pain. The father and mother have partially recoyered, but are still in a dangerous state. The daughter is in avery critical condition and there is but little ey of saving her life. The physician says thatthe patients have all the symptoms of poisoning by strychnine, and he is now examining the meat to determine just what it was that caused the trouble. A dog was fed with the pig’sfeet and died in convulsions. Wonderful Affidavits of cures of Catarrh, Asthma and Bronchitis are those published bythe ‘‘Carbolic Smoke Ball““ Company, which are attracting the at- tention of thinking thousands all over the country.

ARTMENT. BICYCLE BUDGET. A Plea for Fairness—The Ramblers i- Treated—A Happy Lady, It seems to me that the oldest League club in Missouri is entitled to honest and fair treat- ment in the official organ, said a prominent wheelman this morning as he read the Bulletin, „and it the Ramblers, the first club in Missouri to go into the League, is so meanly misrepresented as it is in this week’s Bulletin, I do not see how any other club will be persuaded to join the League. It appears to be the rule that those who join the Le e are the most liable to abuse in the official organ. It ought to be ap- parent to any decent mind that when the old- est Le e club is ing to close its existence honorably, it ought not to be held up to the ridicule of the entire League, even though the paid St. Louis correspond- ent ot the Bulletin is a member of the club. It is a fact patent to all that the official organ ofthe League in its correspondence columns contains more unfair abusive statements about League members and clubs than all the unofficial cycling journals put together. Not all the letters from St. Louis published in the Boston cycling press have contained as much unfair treatment of St. Louis wheel- men as one letter in the Bulletin. Notes. Fred Wood has arrived at Sydney, Australia. The Boston Bicycle Club will visit Montreal during the carnival season. At Melbourne, Australia, the other day, W. S. Maltby, the trick rider, rode a mile ona unicycle in 4m, 84 1-5 8. The Massachusetts Bicycle Club will tender Thomas Stevens a complimentary banquet shortly after his arrival in Boston. The Com- mittee of Arrangements consists of Mr. A. E. Pattison, Chairman; C. D. V. Graves and J. T. Williams. Hendee’s determination to ride the Spring- fleld lever bicycle next year promises to make things livelier than ever. If the wheel proves to be an him ought to be settled. Last year this could not be done, both men riding for the same manufacturer. A lady has been visiting the rink of the Pope Manufacturing Company in Boston daily who is not able to walk without the aid of crutches, but who rides the tricycle with a greatdeal of ease. She was recommended to use the cycle by her —— and she finds that the exer- cise is beneficial. The Springfield (Mass.) Bicycle Club, at its last meeting, increased the Board of Directors from five to seven members. The Secretary’s report showed that out of seventy-one members there have been no deaths, nor bas the club lost a menpber since it organized in 1881.

CORNER BROADWAY AND PINE, REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE, It is a homely but comprehensive old ex- pression that a ‘‘stitch in time saves nine.’’ An example of this proyerb is found in the ex. perience of Henry Nave, u young man living at 408 South Second street and working at the candy factory of Flohr, Hymers & Co. When seen by a reporter Mr. Nave said: ‘‘I had had a cold and thought but little of it until last August when it pressed itself upon my notice by becoming chronis and making me feel miserable all the time. Two months ago I visited Dr. McCoy’s offics and began treatment, and am now entirely well and do not feel a trace of my former trouble. Mr. James H. Barnhart, who lives at 17% North Twelfth street, related to a reporter who called on him a similar experience, dis trouble having become so serious.as to affect his vision and cause a serious chest and stom- ach trouble. Certain Evidences. In the practice of a skillful physician there occur many cases like the cases of catarti mentioned. In many cases the patients have pains about the chest and sides, and some times in the back. They feel dull and sleepy, the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There 1s 4 feeling like a heavy load on the stomach, sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation at thé pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet de- come cold and feelclammy, After awhile 4 cough sets in, at first dry, but after a fer months it is attended with a greenish-colored expectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford ay rest. Afteratime he becomes nervous, irr’ table and gloomy, and has evil foreboding. There isa giddiness, a sort of whirling sensa tion in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times, the blood becomes thick and stagnant, the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the kidney secretions be- come scanty and high-colored, depositing : sediment after standing. There is vently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with § sour taste and sometimes with a sweetisd taste; this Is frequently attended with palpi: tation of the heartand asthmatic symptoms; the vision becomes impaired, with spots de fore the eye; there is @ feeling of great prot tration and weakness. — —— — DOCTOR J, GRESAP Mebol, Late of Bellevue Hospital, New York HAS OFFICES AT 1516 LUCAS PLACE, ST.
