Soldiers Worked Up the Entertainment and Bid “Fame,” “Wealth,” “Honesty,” Instead of Cold American Coin. s ——— Men, women and, children crowded into the Salvation Army barracks at 1413 Frank- lin avenue Friday night, and paid’ 10 cents each to see an auction sale of children. Some had pockets crammed with money, and others who didn’t have so much said they would put in a bid for a girl or a little boy. “I have no children and it will be a grood opportunity to get one,’ said an old, well- dressed Woman. Another responded that she thought it Was a shame to sell children like so many slaves. One woman threatened to notify the Flumane Society.

There was 6-year-old Clara Rausman' and her 9-year- old brother Clarence. Ensign Mrs. Haack announced that she had brought the little ones to the place. “Say, I'll buy ‘em both,” sald a kind look- ing old man. But the little girl cried and ran away from him.

LONDON, March 19.—The Pall Mall Ga- zette this afternoon says that Mr. Glad- &tone’s general condition isa appreciably woprse. It adds: “It was his own wish to be moved to Hawarden with as little delay as possible. Whatever the precise naturo of the facial pains, neuralgia or the pres- ence of eome unhealthy 1 a teed, there can be no doubt that, though intermittent, they have occasioned severe suffering, and it necessarily follows that his physical pow- ers and heart’s action have become grave- ly enfeebled.”’ The health of the Marquis of Salisbury is greatly improved. A SERIOUS THREAT. C. P. Michaelis Receives a Letter From Whitecaps. SEDALIA, Mo., March 19.—Cole Camp, a small town in Benton County, on the line of the Sedalia, Warsaw & Southwestern Rallway, is considerably excited over a threatening whitecap notice which was sent to C. P. Michaelis, recently appointed postmaster of Cole Camp, and who expects to take possession of the office Aprill. Mr. Michaelis is a prominent Republican of that mrt of Benton County. Recently he moved rom Cole Camp to a farm residence one mile west of Cole Camp. The white cap notice, which was written under the guise of a letter from one of his suburban neigh- bors, warns Michaelis to remove from the neighborhood immediately, threatening him with death if he does not heed the warn- ing. The notice also orders Michaelis to go back to Cole Camp to live, but in no event to take possession of the postoffice, or he will suffer the eame punishment fixed for him if he stays at the farm residence. The letter, which is couched in| profane and obscene language, has been placed in the hands of a Government official, and an effort will be made to locate the writer. J. F. COATES’ DISAPPEARANCE. A Check Comes to Light That He Is Thought to Have Passed. T. W. Aldrich, the insurance man, who befriended the strangely missing John F.

AN INTERSTATE. CRIME, Peculiar Conditions Result From the Death of Green Lawson. A queer complication has arisen in the case of P. J. Robinson, the Iron Mountain engineer who shot and fatally injured Green Lawson, a negro porter, at Warren, Ark., two. weeks ago. The negro and the engineer were both em- ployes of the same railroad, and had the game run. While en route to St. Louis and while the train was stopped at Warren, Ark., Robinson and Lawson quarreled and the shooting resulted. The wounded negro was brought to the Missouri! Pacific Hospital in this city, where he lingered until two days ago. Although the crime was committed in Arkansas, the negro died in Missouri, thus the inquest devolves upon the St. Louis Coroner. Robinson, the defendant engneer, is in Arkansas and refuses to come to St. Louis to attend the inquest. Under the circumstances Coroner Wai® ‘ean only hold an inquest and recommen @¢ to the Arkansas authorities that Robinso@ be held for trial. DOGS CAUSE A PANIC, Simultaneous Encounter of, Mad Ca- nines by Two Women. A pair of mad dogs created a panic in South St. Louis Friday evening and fought a furious battle with two St. Louis police- men, who interfered. Mrs. Mary Wagner of 920 Russell avenue walked out inf@Wher rear yard and found a savage dog in ssession, The animal snapped and snaried most vicioiusly, and Msgs. Wagner fled for her life. She ran out upon the street in search of a policeman. By a singular coincidence, rs. Wagner met Mrs. Elizabeth Geran of 100 Ann ave- nue, who was out on a similar mission. “There's a mad dog in our yard,” the women exclaimed simultaneously. They reported to Officers Ryan and Con- nors, who hastened to the rescue. Connors a anied Mrs. Wagner, while Ryan went to Mrs. Geran’s place. The dogs showed fight the moment the officers ap- peared. They sprang forward, but their attack was cut short by bullets that were well aimed. Both dogs died and the panic ceased, BANK ROBBED. Burglars Loot the Franklin (I1l.) Bank of $8000. JACKSONVILLE, Ill, March 19.—Bur- glares entered the Franklin Bank of Frank- lin, near here, last night, and blew open the eafe, securing between $5000 and $8000. They stole a handcar and escaped, and so far there is no clew. The loss is covered by burglar insurance. The bank will not be | affected. NEGRO CONVICTS KILLED.

FRIENDLESS GIRE GIVEN OVER TO HIS WIFE INSTEAD OF TOA POLICE MATRON. BERTHA HARING’S DANGER. Found Sleeping in a Vacant House After an Innocent Tour for Work on Chestnut Street at Midnight. —_—_—_— Here ie a good-hearted policeman, a blue- coat whose star is not a badge of brutality; an officer of the law whose heart is not merely a blood-pumping machine. His name is Louis Fritschle and he walks a beat in the Seventh District. During a comparatively short career as a patrolman he has shown that he is capable of doing things that make a man proud of being on the same planet with him. Patrolman Fritschle’s latest good deed saved a girl just budding into womanhood from a fate one shudders to conjecture. Pretty, intelligent, but unsophisticated Bertha Haring owes him more than even her deep gratitude can ever repay. To-day she has shelter in a pleasant home. But for the promptings of the heart be- hind the sheen of a patrolman’s star she might have been a wanderer, starving in the midst of plenty, forgotten in the selfish- ness of a city’s life. If not unnoticed she might have been food for moral vultures. Bertha Haring is a sweet-faced German irl with bright blue eyes and rosy cheeks. Fike many another country girl she came to St. Louis expecting to find in the great and busy city a field for honest endeavor. She was strong and accustomed to work. What more was required. Surely the grand ladies who kept servants would be eager to bid for her services. When she stepped from the train at Union Station Thursday night she had not a eent. But that mattered not. She would get the position awaiting her, Absolutely ignorant of the town this guile- She walked west on Murket street to Twenh- tieth street, then north to Chestnut street. Here a wonderful sight met her untrained gaze. Stretching before her were blocks of brilliantly illuminated houses. Carriages were lined along the curbs. tee yal this was where the grand liadies ved. The country girl walked up the brilliant street mae from door to door for em- provesent. he knew not that in those ouses there was no place for honest work- ers. There must have been hearts there, though, for Bertha reached Jefferson ave- nue without learning of the moral danger through which she had passed. She walked over to Pine street, then west. It was nearly midnight. Bertha was fatigued and hungry. It was raining. Bertha saw a “For Rent” sign on a big brick house. Drenched and weak she tottered into the ‘ard. She found a rear door open. Once floor. At noon next day Patrolman. Fritschle found ner. Most policemen would have taken her to the station, where she would have remained ina cell until morning. From there she would have been taken to the rooms of-the Four Courts’ matron. _ HE COURT OF INQUIRY STILL IN SESSION. Its Investigation Continued on Board the Battleship lowa Off Key West. Capt.

Fritschle took the little fellow home and kept him there until his mother claimed him. | STAR ROUTE CASES ABANDONED i The Old Scandals Will Be Buried For. | ever in a Few Days. ) SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.~—Assistant | United States Attorney Knight said yester- day that telegraphic instructions had been received from Washington to dismiss the. Star Route cases. These old suits were be- gun by the Government to recover about $500,000, with interest, from the year 1852. | The principal sum was alleged to have been obtained from the Government by system- atic fraude, practiced in the charges by | mail contractors and sub-contractors for the carriage of the mails. These suits went to the Supreme Court | of the United States in 1887 on demurrer and slumbered there three or four years. Mr. Knight said it would be useless to pros- ecute them, as the Government has no evi- dence on which a ——— could be made. The routes were in Montana, Nevada and adjacent territory. a. ¥ TRIED TO SNEAK IN. | | Fifteen Chinamen With $5.25 Capital Arrested on the Coast. | SANTA ANA, Cal, March 19.—Fifteen Chinese who were smtiggled into this coun- try from Ensenada, Lower California, through the port of Anatieim, have been They were landed on Tuesday ight by an unknown vessel.

In accordance with this intention a sep- arate form of requisition has been prepared and all amounts allotted from the fund are made up on the direct order signed by the President himself. ““The President wants to re- port to Congress just how every cent of this money is spent,’’ said a mem- ber of the Cabinet to-day, ‘‘and for this reason is adopting the course above outlined.”’ The amount pald for the Mayflower was about $400,000. > * * WASHINGTON, March 19.—The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, which has been ordered here to have her guns repaired, arrived at the Navy ; Yard this morning, having remained at the Indian Head proving grounds over night. It is expected the work necessary on the vessel can be com- pleted within 15 days. Lieutenant Commander John F. Pillsbury is in command. * FORT MEADE, 8. D., March 19.— The Black Hills ranges are being scoured by the United State’ agents for horses suitable for the cavalry. A contract has been made with one large horse company near here to furnieh 2000 horses as soon ag they can be brought In from the range. Negotiation? are also being made by the Government agent here at the post for several hundred more horses from other ranches.

The Michigan at Erie, Pa. has enlisted 55 men so far and good reports come from all quarters. The Columbia and the Minneapolis are still 210 men each short of their proper force. This is accounted for by the fact that fire- men, machinists and coalpassers are wanted. An officer at the department said that 5000 jandsmen could be se- cured in a day if they were cesired. ll i i . ee Ne Ne Ne te Oe 4 : 4 ; 5 . > «'e's els > > > et > > > o@,@, * 7 ..8-8 6: > . > *. > >.

Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1838, Special to the Post-Dispatch. KEY WEST, FIl#, March 19.—At the solicitation of the Post-Dispatch, Capt. Sampson, president of the Maine Board of Inquiry, sent the following response to an inquiry as to when the report of the board would be made: “Our repog has not yet been made to the President. It is absolutely impossible to fix the date when it will be made. It would not be proper to fix a date, we might have to ‘disappoint the public. “We are working hard on the testimony.” The Post-Dispatch statement that Lieut. Holman had taken information to Washington for the President is correct. It is possible that from this circum- stance arose the rumor that the report would be in the President’s hands by Satur- day. Lieut. Holman may inform the President briefly of what the report may be expected to contain. 7 Lieut. Holman took copies of some of the testimony with him. Officers of the Maine now here are beginning to get restless. They feel their enforced inactivity very much. They do not see the necessity of staying longer. Until the court decides that there is no further need of the officers they will be kept here. They are wishing to go home to see their families. The officers say if they could be given duty te perform while here they would not feel their position so keenly. - i i a ? ° > : eo - a 22a ar" 44442 ~ 2~ . 4 4~ 4 2 2.

WASHINGTON, March 19.—Count Cas- Bini, the newly appotnted Ambassador from | the Court of St. Petersburg, has started on his journey to this country. and is expect- ed here some time next week. This news’ has caused much gossip in diplomatic cir- cles. It is universally believed that only the most important. developments wouid have caused the new envoy to change his plans, which had officially been announced Aas necessitating his presence in St. Peters- burg until May. Count Cassini is account- ed one of the shrewdeat diplomatists in ku- rope, and it Is reported that he will convey fome very significant hints to this Govern- ment when he presents his credentials, he Washington diplomats think that the c is between the*United States and Spain has small part in bringing Ceunt Cas- sini here so summarily, and that he is em- powered to treat with the Ambassa‘ors of the other great powers represented here in trying to arbitrate differences. “It is impossible to express how ardently all Europe desires tao prevent this trouble The result of an investigation which has been going on conjointly between the rail- roads and the Board of Directors of the Interstate Merchants’ Association has un- earthed a conspiracy between certain St. Louis and Kansas City ticket brokers and employes at wholesale houses in this city to secure the validation of return certificates fraudulently. Only members of the Interstate Mer- chants‘ Association, properly, identified by the wholesale houses, are entitled to attend the meetings at special rates. There was such a large attendance at times that the certificates for validation have been col- lected by the wholesale houses and sent up for proper certification to Mr. Singer, as- sistant secretary of the association. Some time since he observed that a large num- ber of certificates were being presented through a local wholesale house, issued by the Missouri Pacific at Kansas City, and pan investigation was at once ‘instituted. Mr. Singer appealed to -H. C. Townsend, Seneral passenger agent of the Missouri Pa- cific, who responded as follows: “I beg to return herewith the ten certificates which you left with us and which we un- derstand were all sent in through one firm, and would state, from the result of investi- gations which we have made both here and at Kansas City, it is our understanding that the matter is handled in the following manner: A passenger at Kansas City wili go into a broker’s office for ticket to St. Louis; broker will tell him he has none, but that if he will go to the Missouri Pa- cific office, buy a gicket to St. Louis and take a receipt therefor, he will give him one-dollar for the latter.

When she had crossed Broadway, on Anna street, she evidently felt the stroke coming on and wandered into Meneke Bros. grocery store, where she fell prostrate. Dr. Anderson of 2617 South Broadway was sum- moned and administered restoratives, but without results. Charles Meneke recognized her and telephoned her son, Louis Gutting, who is employed at the Moser box factory, Third and Elm streets. Young Gutting was soon at the store and took his mother home in a carriage.

During the spring meetings, however, and since you left St. Louis, I find that the certificates have ‘been frequently in the hands of the brokers, and that one broker, especially, seems to have made an arrangement with a broker in Kansas City whereby he obtains a regular supply of certificates of purchase, entitling the holder to a@ return ticket for one-third of the regular fare, and that this broker has been inducing some members of our association among the wholesale houses to send up those certificates to my assist- ant secretary for validation, entering into a conspiracy with employes of the twhole- sale firm for that purpose.

L. 7 He Will Not Resign, But Will Go Peaceably. a “> BRADY HARMONY A FAILURE. ANDY BLONG WILL BECOME THE HEAD OF FHE CITY DEMO- CRATIC COMMITTEE. “BOSSISM TO BE RESTORED.” ——— Mr. Lee Explains Why He Is Being Opposed and Tells Who Are Conducting the Op- position. John A. Lee declares he will not resign the chairmanship of the Democratic City Central Committee. He may be ousted, and he will go peaceably if a majority of the committee «0 determine at the Monday night meeting, but In such an event he will consider the harmony agreement made re- cently at the Jefferson Club a torn, tattered and useless thing. Mr. Lee says: “I think there is a plan to depose me as chairman at Monday even- ing’s meeting of the committee. I am mak- ing no effort to combat It. The position its one of grave responsibility just now, and if eome one else wants to assume it, and the tee favor. the change, I will con- tier that I have been relieved and that others have assume” the party accounta- bility. , “There are several reasons, I suppose, for opposition to me, the principal one being that I am bitterly opposed to the return of the old system of bossism, which is fa- vored by those who oppose me. They have hey favor and intend to announced that they Pancsosn Posy advocate, at the coming cit an entire reorganization of the party ma- chinery, the election of 28 members of the executive committee instead of 56, as at present, and the appointment of the 426 srecinct committeemen by these proposed ward bosses, who can thereby perpetuate themselves in power. “The present plan is to elect the 426 pre- cinect committeemen by the people and have them in turn elect members of the executive committee. It gives the power to the people, Instead of the bosses, and l therefore favor it. This is the chief rea- son for opposition to me. “Tt is true that I have spoken at Meri- wether meetings and all other kinds of meetings of Democrats for several months past, and my eubject has been harmony peace and unity. think it is the duty o every Democrat to do all he can aiong that line. “Il have done more to publicly indorse and sustain the present State Administration than any man in the State, and yet I have refused to co-operate with either - faction in abusing the other. “It is true that J favor the nomination of Judge Valliant for Supreme Judge. _ It is my privilege to advocate the nomination oc any one think best fitted and strong- est. “I have worked hard to put the committee into a good shape and have succeeded in that particular. I have made no public criticism of the appointees of the Governor, and if things are done by them contrary to paesy policy it is my duty to complain pri- vately and personally to the Governor, to have such things rectified, I did write a let- ter to the Governor aeking him to confer with me and others, whom he might desig- nate, in order to compromise impending differences, and I laid the situation before him. His reply was to the effect that he by me or anybody else. Tt seems to me that the spirit of dictaajion is on the other side.”’ “The whole story ts just this,”’ says one of Lee's co-workers. “Shortly after it had been agreed that all the factions should et together, and Stone, Meriwether, Bra- y, Butler and had shaken hands over it, somebody jum the track. At least Lee found before he could issue a call for f mass meeting to indorse the harmony preposition that Democratic harmony “on a ugh Brady basis did not give promise of rmanence. ‘ “lee wrote a letter to Gov. Stephens, suggesting that he pay St. Louis a visit and quietiy call down some of his friends who were inclined to do as they pleased and keep the party tn a turmoll. The Gov- ernor wrote a sharp reply, saying he con- sidered Lee something of a ‘factionist him- self. The Chairman responded in kind and the battle was on. ° “Under the plan of reorganization, which was disapproved by the City Committee at its last meeting, the ward members are to appoint the precinct committeeman. This - a return to the old system which for so pointments ong a time enabled Brady to perpetuate himself in > tend The election of Andy Biong to the Chairmanship of the City Com- mittee will now follow the ousting of Lee. It simply means that harmony is impossible on a Brady basis, and that the Democratic factions in St. Louis can do nothing fur- ther than proceed to fight it out, with the possible result of defeat to the party.” CARPENTERS’ COUNCILS Trouble That Led ‘to Injunction Pro- ceedings Explained by a Member. All union labor ia interested in the in- junction proceedings before Judge Klein nat the Carpenters’ District Council. It is authoritatively announced that whatever be the court’s decree it will not affect the present attitude of the council regarding those who were suspended from the organi- zation. “The facts In this case are these,” said Secretary Davenport, ‘“‘The men do not recognize the applicants for the injunction as being union workmen and will not work with them under andy circumstances, “Fred Swain, deputy bullding inspector, is leading the fight on us.

Accommodations on Certain Necessary Measures Before the Contest Was On. Mayor Ziegenhein affixed his signature to the ward redistriction bill Friday afternoon. The Council confirmed the appointment of Benjamin Schnurmacher as City Counselor Friday night. The first mentioned act was cause. The second was effect. The deadlock between the Mayor and the Council is as strong as ever. Neither has made any concession to the other. The members of the Council realized that they could not hold up the appointment of Schnurmacher long without seriously embarrassing the city and bring- ing down condemnation upon their heads. The Mayor realized that, although the ward revision bill was objectionable. it would hardly do for him to veto it and give the Democrats a chance to change the ward lines to suit themselves. Under such circumstances they were both anxious for a “‘swap.”’ The decks are now cleared for action. The Charter amendments will be held up until assurances are received that the Mayor will sign the new North and South bill. The introduction of the United Traction bill will also serve to strengthen the dead- lock. The Council’ and House are in favor of the Central Traction Co. bill. They will pass it in preference to the United Traction “o. bill. e latter company offers $1,750,000, or $750,000 more than the Central Traction Co, Mayor Ziegenhein is friendly to the Scullins. It is probable that he would sign the bill if it should be passed, as it would give facilities to the people in the south- western part of the city without increasing the tracks In the down town district. NEW LAW ON CORPSES, NO BODIES MAY NOW BE SHIPPED EXCEPT BY LICENSED UNDERTAKERS. § Under a recent ruling of the State Board of Health permits for the shipping of dead bodies will be igsued only to licensed un- dertakers and embalmers. This is the re- sult of a movement begun by the State Board of Embalmers, indorsed by the Funeral Directors and Undertakers’ Asso- clation of Missourt. The many unlicensed undertakers in the city and in the State will fight the new enactment. It will be claimed that the State license law conflicts with the city li- cense, and that it is not constitutional. Several of the opposing undertakers de- clare that they will ship bodies anyway and that thé railroads will not refuse to accept them, To prevent this, J. C. Herns, secretary of the Embalming Board, is now soliciting the co-operation of the railroads. Mr. Eberle of the firm of Eberle & Keyes of this city, who is aiding in the work, de- clares that there will be no difficulty to get the co-operation of St. Louis lines. In addition to the provision of the new bill, baggagemen, undertakers or other per- sons receiving any corpse in bad condition, is pledged to notify the tate Board of Health and Embalming Boafd, and if proof of violation of pledge or incompetent work is sufficient, the license of the embalmer will be revoked. Mr. Eberle says that all over the country the art of embalming has bee. grossly vio- lated, to the danger of the public health. “The issue is a national one,” begun by the National Association of Undertakérs and Funeral Directors,”’ said he. **Mis- sourl was the first to @ecognize the impor- tance of the issue by adopting the law. “The Missouri State Board of Embalming has been created with M. H. Alexander as President and J. C. Hernis of Neosho as Secretary. They are to act jointly with the State Board of Health. Under the new law the Board of Embalm'ng is author'zed to issue licenses to qualified embalmers, the same to be revoked if embalmers are neg- lectful or fail to arterially embalm under the present rules. No bodies can be shipped until examined and legaliy labeled, and to this end the American Association of Bag- gage Agents have agreed to assist the movement. “The enforcement of the law, though just Inaugurated, we feel wil] have easy sail- ing. There may be some Movement against it. Of course many embalmers and appli- cants will not be licensed at al!!.”’ SALE OF UNION STOCK YARDS. by Trustee Wernse.

Nelson Knutson of 929 Ann avenue, who started at8 a.m. Friday to drink 120 glaes- es of beer on a wager of #0 with John Bochler of 919 Ann avenue, as told itn Fri- day's Post-Dispatch, not only won his bet, but went some 50 glasses over the limit. Mr. Knutson got away with 70 glasses between ihe hours of 8 a. m. and 1:30 p. m. Then he went up town to attend to some business, He resumed unloading beer glass- @a between 2 and 8 o’clock and before 8 o'clock he had won the bet and was atill, apparently, sober.

Still, if Called Before the Grand Jury, He Would Refuse to Divulge His Information. Attorney Simon Bass will not go before the grand jury and tell that body what he knows about the John E. Riedy embezzie- ment. About the first of April John E. Riedy, the defaulting ex-treasurer of the Police Relief Association, will go with a crowd of other convicted felons to Jefferson City to enter upon his term of two years’ im- prisonment for betraying the trust re- posed in him by his brother officers and robbing them and the widows and qr phans whom the association was intended to benefit. Although Riedy went into open court and entered a plea of guilty and accepted his sentence without a murmur, his attorney has given out an interview, authorized no doubt by Riedy, saying that Riedy is a martyr and is sacrificing himself for his friends. There are those around the Four Courts who believe that Riedy spoke the truth when he said that otherg in police circles benefited by his stealing@. In the absence of positive proof they are compelled to remain eilent. So far as known Mr. Bass, who conducted Riedy’s case from start to finish, is the only person in St. Lou's who has positive pres as to who are the parties who profited y Riedy’s stealings. And Mr. Bass will not tell, just now, who these parties are. “Perhaps I should not have spoken so freely on the subject to the Post-Dispatch as IT did the day Riedy was sentenced,” said Mr. Bass, when asked if he could name the policemen who profited by Riedy’s. betrayal of trust. “However, every word that was printed is true and can be sub- Stantiated. It will be dono if it is neces- eary. Otherwise it will not. No, sir, I will not lay the matter before the grand jury with a view to punishing those who were once Riedy’s friends. And were to be called before the grand jury I could and would decline to beste the information. The statement Riedy made to me as his attorney was a privi- leged communication and there is no legal body in the world that can command me to divulge the communication. “I have in my possession irrefutable proof that what I claim for my client: is true. I have notes and dye bills ffom a number of sergeants and policemen made. out Riedy, and some of the amounts are large. These notes are within my reach now. I will show them, but of course ths signatures I would be compelled to cancel. Neither Chief Harrigan nor any membér of the Police Board has approached me, and if they should I could give them no more information than I have given the Post-Dispatch.** Police Commissioner Kingsland was seen by a reporter. Mr. Kingsland had _ rea ~ ¢: ane y case as told in the Post-Dis- ch. “I do not see how we can ‘take any action the way the thing now stands,’ said Mr. Kingsland. “There are no charges pre- ferreé ggairst any individual members of the force. Riedy makes a vague charge, but we can put no credence in his state- ment. His plea of guilty makes him a con- vict and takes away from him the weight his words might once have had. f we pa'‘d attention to his charges it would be to dis- credit the entire force, and we cannot do thet. 2 do not beileve Riedy’s statement that others benefited by his stealings.’’ Chief of Police Harrigan said he had no occasion to alter the opinion expressed by the Post-Dispatch for him a few days ago. When he said the word of a convicted thief against a\man he believed to be honest should have no weight. “Riedy has admitted that he its a thief,"’ said Chief Harrigan. “His statements also prove that he is a liar. Before he was ap- prehended he wrote a letter to a member of the force in which he declared he was, the only person implicated, He either lied then or he is lying now.”’ The letter referred to by Chief Harrigan was written by Riedy on Sept. 22, and was addressed to Patrolman Cornelius Hough of the Central Police District. Riedy was then in hiding and said in his letter that he could remain concealed as long as he liked. The part of his letter in reference to his being alone in his shortage reads as follows; *“ * * * Con, I want to state, as you and others have stated, that there is no one connected with the Police Department that owes me a 5-cent plece, or through me, the Police Rellef Association.

Mrs. Ellen Slattery of 804 North Jefferson avenue was treated to the surprige of her life when she returned home at 10 o’clock Friday night. Her apartments on the sec- ond floor were in complete darkness. Mrs, Slattery distinctly recalled that the lights were burning when «he departed for church earlier in the evening. z ‘‘Burglars have been here, I suppose,”’ re- marked Mrs. Slattery to herself. Suddenly her attention was attracted by loud snoring, and the woman listened .in- tently, and the noise grew louder. Un- dauntéd; she struck a match and ran to the front room. There she found an old woman lying on her ‘bed, sound asleep. “Get out of here and be quick about it,” exclaimed Mrs. Slattery.

The slow blood stream gets choked with an ac- cumulation of waste matter that declares its presence in twinges of rheumatism, lumbago, neuralgia and inability to sleep. All these unnatural conditions can be cor- rected and permanently done away with by vigorously cleansing the blood and regu- lating the tardy ulation. Paine’s celery compound is pre-eminently capable of doing this beyond any other remedy. There is nothing vague about the sort of “good health’’ that ds promised by Paine’s celery compound and vouched for by men and women who have used it. It means, among other things, firmer nerves, com- pleter digestion, sweeter breath and more fegular bodily functions. Paine’s celery compound secures these where other reme- a ' through.

Gov. Stephens must face the question concerning his policy suggested. by a dispassionate view of his action in the Coombs case and in the Monrotus-Forgey case. When Superintendent Coombs of the Fulton Insane Asylum qas forcec to resign on account of improper conduct, proved to the satisfaction of the Board of Managers, the Governor had his Board of Charities review the case, reorganized the Asylum Beard and reinstated Dr. Coombs, What must be the effect of this action on the morality and discipline of the institution? When it was clearly shown that, by order of Vice-President - Lewis, the Board of Police Commissioners of this city, with- out @ hearing and without cause, had reduced a sergeant of police who had an excellent record, to make room for & patrolman with a bad record, and that the Polloe Board ap- proved of this act of injustice, Gov. Stephens took no eteps to right the wrong. What must be the effect of this precedent on the efficiency of the police force? Does Gov.

Spanish insurrections are always about to be suppressed. General Bianco has told Senor Polo that the esituatton in Cuba is quiet and satisfactory, and the Spanish Am- bassador at Rome assures the world that the rebellion will be ended by April Ist. The Minister of State says thet the uprising in the Philippines is insignificant and will be ended immediately. Philippines and Cubans are about to be good. It is always so. Weyler said so, Canovas said so, Campos said so. Spain is about to be blessed with peace and harmony and tove and goodwill. é is are optimists: They are like peculating bank tellers, who are always sure their speculations will turn out well and save them from the consequences of their misdeeds. But their optimism is not catching. The Spaniards have announced the coming of peace so often that the rest of the world has grown skeptical, while the wolf continues his rav- changing the name, which is that.of a hero who successfully ages. Their promises have failed so often that they are fought Hispania. , . worthless. a A mayor should feel lonesome, not when the boodlers stay echo.

Representative Dockery of Missouri, in a speech tn the Tiouse a few days ago, observed: “I look forward to the com- ing time when the protective sentiment will be more strongly entrenched in the South, and New England will be following the banner of free trade.” There is much reason in what he says. Communities change their coats as often as individual men and from the same motive. Net: England was once a free trade community, and Daniel Webster furnished the great American classio on that bject, while about the same time South Carolina eupported @ policy of protection under the lead of John C. Calhoun. New —ongland is feeling the effects of Southern competition in manufactures, and may find it to her interest to put her capital in ships instead of mills.

In extending a helping hand to them, there is no need to forget or neglect the struggle for better conditions at home, The workers cannot afford to narrow down their struggle to a mere class fight, selfishly shutting their eyes to every one else's wrongs.

The franchise grabbers are watching to see what the As. sembly and the Mayor will do about the new North and South bill, They believe if this bill goes through they will be ina position to get anything they want. And their wants are only bounded b\ the capacity of the city to give up. The LindelRailway is ready, it is said, to ask for an omni. bus franchise which will run for 60 years, and include a con- necting line through Tower Grove Park. An ordinance has been introduced in both Council] ana House, providing for a gridiron franchise for 50 years for the United Traction Co., with the privilege of running through Forest Park. Here are two conditions that ought to make it absolutely impossible for them to get such franchises as are outlined, The city ovght not to grant any franchise extending over 50 years. Fifty years—nearly two generations—what will St. Louis be at the end of that period? What was St. Louls 50 years agot Any amount Offered for a specific franchise now will certainly appear preposterous long before such a period expires. As for the proposition to run through Tower Grove Park, the people will never consent to it. The parks are the people’s playgrounds. The people, and especially children, must not be constantly in danger from surface railways in the parks. The grabbers are getting bolder. The people must watch’ and fight to save their property.

In January, this year, pneumonia killed 93 people, bronchitis 40 and other res- piratory diseases 3. In February pneumo- nia killed 126, bronchitis 30 and other res- piratory diseases 20. So far in March pneu- monia has caused the death of 86 persons. The members of the Board of Health blame street cars for a part of this mor- tality. They think damp, cold floors cause damp, cold feet, and damp, cold feet cause pneurmmonia and death. An effort will be made to compel the street car companies to-do their share toward stopping the drain on the population. The matter was brought up at the Board of Health meeting by Dr. C. H. Hughes, one of the members. He expressed the belief that much of the prevalent pneumonia was due to riding in unsanitary street cars with damp floors. He, introduced a resolution asking the etreet car companies to keep the cars dryer and in a generally better sanitary condi- tion. If the request is not complied with the companies may be prosecuted on the general ground that the cars are if a bad to health. Health Commissioner Starkloff said Sat- urday: “Dr. Hughes introduced the resolu- tion, and I entirely agree with him. Damp, cold feet are responsible for more colds than anything else. Colds are the founda- tion for pneumonia and kindred diseases. “We, unfortunately, are handicapped by not having a sufficient force for inspection work of that character. But all the inspec- condition of the cars they ride in and make street cars on account of their unsanitary condition and order prosecutions.” WILL NOT GIVE UP. Up the Fight.

There are eight divorce cases and one breach of promise case on the docket. The largest case, In point of damages asked, is that of Mrs. Mattie Truit vs. Lewis Hughes et al. There are six defendants in this case, all saloonkeepers operating in the small towns in the northwest part of the county. About two years ago J. K. Truit, husband of the plaintiff, was run over by a Santa Fe train et Ethel, Macon County, and instantly killed. Soon afterwards the widow filed suits against the defendants for selling intoxicating liquors to her husband. Two petitions were filed, each nearly as voluminous as a book. One of the petitions contains 182 counts and the other 32, making a total of 214 alleged causes of action. The defendants and their bondsmen are asked to pay not less than $580 nor more than $00 on each count; also forfeiture of defendants’ bonds is asked on the grouse that they have violated the law in selling Trult liquor, after cher had been repeatedly warned not to do so by his wife. If fa gment is rendered for the plaintiff on all of her 214 counts she would receive $10,700 worth of consolation. If the juries happened to be generous and give her the limit for each time Mr. Truit slaked his thirst the widow would receive $107,000 to erect a suitable monument end to deck herself in becoming attire of ‘“‘widow’s weeds.”’ She has engaged eminent legal age Pigg will test her right of action to @ limit.

It is believed that two men were in the cabin ly in wait to rob him. Roberte, as he was ut entering the cabin, struck a match, the light from which showed that tn his other hand he carried a revolver. The men inside then fired and Roberts 4d dead. H man took to his heels and escaped with the money and gave the alarm. A posse was at once organized and is now the murderers, but with slim chance of catch- ing them. TWO MEN KILLED.

SPORTS AND PROFESSIONALS. Those 014 Rivals to Meet in a Contest in Which the New Rules Will Be Tried for the First Time, If the sun will only shine out bright and fair the baseball season of 1898 in St. Louls The Gports and Professionals will then meet in a game at South Side Park. The game will be interesting for many reasons. First of all it will not only mark the opening of the season here, but # will introduce the new playing ‘code of 1898 to the home public. The players will put vim and life into the game from start to finish, but there will be no rowdyism or objection- able features Umpire Jack Brennan will have cha¥ge of the field. He will umpire according to the new rules, which prohibit kicking and that eort of thing, “Wt the public will be able to see for itself what a game looks like with kicking barred. Brennan says that the new rules will insure a good clean game and that while no kicking will be allowed spir- ited coaching will be a feature. The series layed between the Sporting News and Pro- eesionales last fall resulted in a stand-off, each team having won a game and the third resulting in a tie. The grounds are in fine shape.

Wo Truth in That Story of Kid McOoy’s Defeat at Walkerton, Ind. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 19.—The fake sent out from Walkerton, that in the recent MocCoy-Hardenbrook bout, at Fort Wayne, Hardenbrook not only stayed four rounds, but he floored McCoy once, and had hire against the ropes several times, is clearly disputed by the reports of the Fort Wayne newspapers the following day, all of them making merry over Hardenbrook’'s effort. Before the match came off the Fort Wayne Athletic Club offered Hardenbrook — if he would etay six rounds with Mc- Yoy, but Hardenbrook refused to appear under any conditions. Finally he consented to go on four rounds, provided McCoy would agree not to hit hard, and so the club persuaded J, J. Bates to go against McCoy fora knock-out, while Hardenbrook was engaged to “box for points.”” Bates lasted two minutes and 82 seconds. Wher it came Hardenbrook’s turn to enter the ring his seconds again made McCoy prom- ise to spare the Walkerton man, and als¢é insisted that he don pay yt te gloves. Within 80 seconds McCo ad etruck Hard- enbrook two blows, and Hardenbrook be- agn beefing about McCoy’s hitting powers. cCoy laughed at him, and said he could not strike a lighter than he wag doing. MoCoy slipped and fell during this bout, but almost instantly he regained his feet. He was not struck by rdenbrook, who was unable to get homé on him at any time. In the fourth round Hardenbrook de- veloped sprinting powers of no mean abil- ity, and he repeatedly looked at the time- keeper. McCoy simply played with him, and yet before the round ended Harden- brook wag collapsed, and he needed the attentions of his seoond before he could leave the ring. It is dollars to doughnuts that if McCoy ever again meets Harden- brook the Walkerton scrapper will think THE FAR ASSOCIATION — IT WILL ELECT ITS RACING OFFI- CIAIS AT A MEETING TO BE | HELD TO-DAY.

The St. Louts Fair Association will hold @ meeting this afternoon and appoint the officials who will have charge of the race meeting which ig to be commenced at the Fair Grounds track on Saturday, May l4. It is said Secretary Joe Murphy wiil again receive the appointment of official judge John Hachmelster, ‘clerk of scales, and Kitt Chinn, starter. But the Fair Grounds folks will say nothing until they make their regular official announcement after to-day’e meeting. Jockey Charley Kuhn has been reinstated and will ride for Capt. Sam Brown this year. For several years Kuhn has been making his livi riding on the outlaw tracks around Baltimore, and like all other boys at those tracks had his share of bad luck. During the racing at old Sportsman's Park, St. Louis, which was the last of the outlaw tracks to close in the West, Kuhn received a b injuries. He was unable to ride for months, but finally recovered and gought reinstate- ment on the Turf Congress tracks, but did not succeed. Kuhn then concluded to stay with the outlaws and went to Elkton Barksdale and Iron Hill, where he took mounts until he received another bad fall and had to quit riding. When the Turf Congress passed a resolution reinstating all the outlaw jockeys in the West Kuhn made another effort to get back, but his application was refused on the grounds that the New York Jockey Club would first have to take action on his case before he could be given a license. Now that Kuhn has been put back in good standing by the jockey club of the East, he will have no trouble getti back into the legitimate fleld of racing in the West. The horsemen who come from there say the only bills in circulation at the New Orleans race track are the feed bills. The association which owns the track capone the feed and has a rope around near y ev- ery horse now at that track.

JEFFRIES AD JACKSON JIM, THE GIANT, AND PETER, THE GENTLEMAN, TO MEET NEXT WEDNESDAY. A GREAT BATTLE LOOKED FOR. The Once Famous Colored Pugilist Has Surprised His Friends by the Way He Has Got in Condition. Next Wednesday night, at San Francisco, occurs the next big prize-fight. Peter Jackson, at one time the daddy of all the negro pugilists, and who stdéod with Corbett at the top of the heavy-weight ¢ class, will then meet Jim Jeffries, the Cali- fornia giant, who has been doing some tall yp fighting on the coast recently. Both men have been in training for sev- eral weeks—Jackson at Croll’s Gervena, ameda, and Jeffries at the Reliance Club, Oakland. So far as Jackson is concerned, his affair with Jeffries is virtually a return to the ring, as he has not figured in a glove fight for several years. It was thought that the clever colored boxer might have some diffi- culty in getting into condition, but the manner in which Peter has rounded to has surprised all his old friends, So far as personal appearance is con- cerned he does not seem to have altered a bit. His work in the gymnasium seems to indicate that he Is as sprightly in his move- ments as ever, and such being the case the sports of San Francisco are looking for- ward to a highly interesting tussie when Jackson faces the young Hercules from the orange Delt. SPORTS AT BADEN. Boating, Fishing and Other Pastimes to Be Made Popular There. Boating, fishing and entertainment galore will form the nucleus for unlimited pastime at Baden the coming summer. A ewell athletic organization Is now form- ing, under the direction of Ernest Over- beck, the well-known merchant. The bowling alley. team will co-operate with the new body to a man.

The plans under consideration are un- usually elaborate. The building ts to be of buff brick. A gymnasium, bowling alley, handball court, swimming, together with dancing hall, library and reception rooms will be important features.

Nevins escapes from confinement, after demand- ing the return of the hat Loring and Blake conclude he will attempt to recover them by force, aided by the bandits that infested Arizonia in those days. bey take precautions, but Loring is infatuated with Pancha, the niece of the rascally Mexican who keeps a ‘‘dinner ranche’’ on the way from Camp Cook to the coast. Blake and his escort are drawn away. by a ruse and Loring is robbed of the jewels. After recovering somewhat from the blow be re- coived on the head, he boards the coasting steam- er for San Francieco. Ae it bappens, Pancha comes board also, her relatives having concluded to send her away because she knew too much. Pancha faints on roougpising Loring. Pancha’s relatives, the Mecalentes, bave intrusted the purser of the ship with a package, in Pancha's name, but pot subject to her order, which Loring believes contains the missing jewels.

He comes to the conclusion, after a number of chats, that she must be innocent. Shortly afterwards the vessel is wrecked. Mutiny breaks out, but is sternly re- pressed by Loring, who shoots the ringleader. The boat containing Loring and Pancha is lifted into a passing steamer and they are rescued. The fret mate of the sunken ship allows himesc/f to be feted as the hero of the mutiny while Loring re- mains silent.

The General in cOmman bis fellow officers appear to believe in his gullt and inquiries are instituted. . bent on ruining his character. Her actions on board CHAPTER XVI. The worst of having a man of More- land's views present on such an occassion is that the whole thing is sure to be noised abroad with scant reference -to military propriety. Moreland told the owners of the steagner line, the Chamber of Com- merece, the easily gathered audience on Rush and Montgomery streets, the usual customers at Barry tg Bo Meer the loungers in the lobbies of the otels—everybody who been a sallor, faced down that quartette of ‘“blue-bellied lobsters’’ up at head- quarters. The General was not a popular character. His principal claim to distinc- tion during the great war seemed to be that of being able to criticise every other general's battles and to win none of his own. “He never went into a fight that hea didn’t get licked,”’ declared the exultant Moreland, “and now he’s bowled over by his youngest lieutenant.” The story of that interview went over the like wild-fire and etirred up the fel- the Presidio and Angel Island, while the islanders of Alcatraz came bus- tling to town*to learn the facts as detailed at the Occidental, and to hear something more about that queer, silent fellow Lor- ing. Among the junior subalterns in the artillery were one or two who knew him at the Point, and they scouted the story of his having ever stolen a cent’s worth, or the idea of extracti anything about the matter from his lips. The latest yarn in circulation was that after the now fam- ous interview, Loring had “laid for’’ Capt. Petty, the alde-de-camp referred to, a young Gothamite of good family who had got iIn- to the regulars in the war and out of com- any duty from that time to this, and, hav- ing met the aide-de-camp, Loring had there- upon calmly pulled the géntiema&n’s —- nose for him. Petty could not be found. Had ne to Fort Yuma on important busl- ness for the Department Commander, was the explanation, The General properly re- fused to be interviewed by reporters of the Stage and couldn't be approached by any- ody else on the subject, Only two ings were positively known. Lieut.” Loring had received telegraphic notification from the Chief of Engineers of his relief from duty in the department and his assignment to similar work in the Deparment of the Platte, and it was ru- mores, cue it could not be confirmed, that General had been directed by tel- egraph to designate a staff officer to re- celpt to Lieut. Loring at once for the public property for which he was account- able, in order that the latter officer m t take an early steamer for the Isthmus, as his services’ were urgently needed at his new station. t was an open secret that the General considered himeelf aggrieved by the action would listen, and who would not? how that brave fellow Loring—who ought to have! of the authorities at Washington and said 50. He had made no charge against Lieut. Loring. He had merely called that gentieman’s attention to the ver Ngeriods allegations laid at his door, and tis was true. On the other hand, people who had been permitted to know anything about the matter, notably certain senior officers of the Engineers’ Corps not under the Gen- eral’s orders; and one or two staff depart- ment officers who, unhappily for them- selves, were under his orders and subject to his semi-occasional rebuke, now openly said that not one allegation against Lor- ing came from a reliable or respectable source, and that it was an outrage to have held him even to inferential account on the Statement of such a cad as Bscalante’s agent, who hadn't been near the office since the recove of Capt. Moreland, the insin- uations of Mr. Percy Traynor, now totally vanished, and the rumored aspersions of a fair ges age known only to Capt. Petty, a man who had few associates in the “Line’’ or outside the limited circle of the General's personal staff, and who was not too well liked even ere. And, as the revulsion of feeling get in, Petty set out for Yuma. ‘“‘Where ere is so damned much smoke,” gaid he, as it later tra fired, ‘‘there must be some fire,” and the eneral had bidden him go to Yuma, to Gila Bend, to Guaymas, to the devil, if need be, and find out all the facts. But the linesmen at Presidio and the jovial blades at Moreland’s elbow were loud in their laughing statement that if Petty were looking for fire he could have found, it here In abundance, Loring could have giv- en him more than he wanted. Then came the order in the case of Capt. Nevins, dismissing that worthy from the service on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and awarding a year’s imprisonment at such penitentiary, etc., as the reviewing authority should di- rect, and by the same post the official or- der transferring Lieut. Loring of the en- Gaeere to duty in the Department of the latte, and then what did the steamship company do but issue invitations for a din- der to be given in honor of that distin- guished young officer, and great was the noise thereof until it was known that the gentieman had gracefully, but firmly, de- clined. Then the papers said “it was ru- mored”’ that the General had forbidden his Recoptanes. despite the fact that the Gen- eral had expressed publicly his gratification that the company had at last done some- thing in r@cognition of ita indebtedness to the army—which was most adroit and equally impersonal. And all the while Loring himself was hav- ing anything but an enviable time of it. A man go reticent and retiring could not but be annoyed by the persistent calls and cross-questiong of all manner of people in whom he had but small personal interest. He wished to have nothing whatever to say on the subject, denied himself to re- porters and relapsed into impenetrable re- serve when importuned by brother officers whom he but see knew, One or two with whom he wou . ook have held counsel were far removed, one at least for- ever from his circle. The stalwart old In. spector, Turnbull, lay sleeping his last sleep in the cemetery oy, Montesey. The veteran who served as sident of the Nevins court was in far Arizona, and Blake, sound of hed@rt, if not of head, was under a cloud at Yuma. His forceful expressions con- cerning the imbecility of de tment offi- clals led to his being confined very closely to company work and minbdr, yet exacting duties at the poss. all because of his aban- donment of Lieut, Loring at a critical mo- ment, said the few defenders of the depart- ment’s letter to the Post Commander on that subject. “All because of his too ve- hement defense of Loring,” said everybody else. With feverish eagerness Loring awaited the sailing of the next steamer, ery item for which he stood accountable was then at his offic invoices and receipts made out in full, othing was need but the officor designated to relieve him. The Co- lumbia was to leave on Saturday and up to Thursday evening no relief h appeared. Friday morning the Adjutant Genegal re- ceived a written communication most re- __— yet urgent in terms, requesting that the officer might be designated with- out further delay, and as no answer was received up to noon, Loring followed it with a rsonal call upon the chief-of-staff, who eaid the General had the matter under ad- ic, visement. “My luggage aboard the Columbia to-night «ir, and I should be aboard by 10 o’clock to-morrow morning,” sald Loring. Col. Strain weg er dubiously. “It might be impracticable to relieve you from duty so soon. The General is in com- munication with the War Department upon . ossibly if—you—had ~— Pall upon the General chief-of-staf!, and to ex- thing might have the mo- ave Sound or upon me, his fain’ your wishes the een arran ; Loring flushed. He gaw throu tive at a glance, and could not it easy to express an opinion in very few words. There are times when @ man is #0 goaded that an outburst is the only natural relief. but it is nome the less fatal.

They say the newspapers are to Wlame for it all. If the newspapers will just be quiet for a little while and permit public opinion to be di- verted from the subject, the committee will undertake to strangle the merit system amendment with neatness and dispatch. The members of the committee explain that they cannot proceed with their great act while there is confusion in the audi- ence. They require absolute quiet. If the ople will kindly go to sleep, so much he better. “As long as the newepapers keep abusing ue and trying to use compulsion.on us,” eaid Mr. Gast Friday night, ‘“‘we will not report the amendments, hey cannot drive us or bulldoze us."’ Chairman Charley Thuner has decided to wreak revenge on the newspapers which have exposed his attempt to throttle the merit system amendment to the charter. He will denounce them from the stump. He will call them “‘scandalblatts” and other bad names, and expects to. drive them all into the river. Since Thuner began getting his name in the papers he has been etriving night and day to convince the world that he enjoyed it. toons?” he asked In grieved tones. “They | B#Podi Cn ies ) e : are not funny and nobody reads them.

OSCl0LA ST ass bevel rntons Delegates. One of the wisest of the wise men says he expects to see at least eleven of the hated breed in there after the next election. The wards now represented by Democrats are the Fourth, enth, Fourteenth and Twenty-sixth. In addition to these, the First, Néneteenth and Twenty-fourth Wards were always con- sidered to be Democratic, but at the last election they sent Republicans to the House. The new wards which leading Republic- ans admit are now Democratic are the Third, Fourteenth, Eighteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-first, enty-second, Twenty-third, Twenty-fifth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty-sev- bill and evolved, in the opinion of Repub- lican politicians, about the worst botch yet. It went after a Republican gerrymander it back a Democratic gerryman- “This is a Democratic gerrymander or we are goats.” The members of the House of Delegates said, that being the case, the wise men were probably at least of a goaty ances- try. The House passed the bill. The Council listened to the wise men and molded the bill a little more into the outward seeming of a Republican gerrymander. The House protested against this sacrilege and threatened to knock the little bill in the head, but after thinking heavily a while, they said let ‘er go at that. There are at present only four wards represented by Democrats in the House of Mayor Ziegenhein has signed the ward redistriction bill. It will go into effect in 10 days. But for the fact that to veto it would give the Democratic Legislature a chance to do the work, he would not have approved it. It did not meet his views at all.

Now, who the deuce is going to send an order to a florists for an oak tree and a poteto to let a friend know that his or her hospitality and benevolence are appre- clated? £h? ' “IT see, too, that a xeranthemum means ‘cheerfulness under adversity.’ Of course we should all be cheerful under adversity, but why xeranthemum? Tell me that. What is a xeranthemum, any- way? Again, ‘idleness’ is represented by a mesembryanthemum. It deserves it, don’t it? Let us all be diligent, then, and escape the mesembryanthemun, if possible. 7 “Here, too, are some strange things. A cabbage means ‘profit,’ a currant ‘thy frown will kill me,’ a lemon ‘zest,’ a quince ‘temptation,’ an olive ‘peace,’ a lettuce ‘co!d-heartedness,’ a wild grape ‘charity,’ a filbert ‘reconciliation,’ a fig ‘argument,’ a gooseberry ‘anticipation,’ a pear ‘affection,’ rhu- barb ‘advice,’ and a walnut ‘intellect’ or ‘stratagem.’ Now, why do those vegetables, fruits and nuts mean those things?” “Perhaps the feller that made up the list just invented ’em as he went along,” suggested Puggs. “Ah, perhaps. In that case he hit on some good things once in a while. For instance, a watermelon means ‘bulkiness’—though almost self-evident, one would think; rosemary, ‘remem- brance’—he got that from Shakespeare, of course; prickly pear, ‘satire’—very good, I think; pepper- mint, ‘warmth of feeling’—especia!lly in a julep, eh? “Pennyroyal, ‘flee away’—ha, do you see the connection, or don’t you? Hemlock, ‘you will be my death’—naturally, if the fellow drinks it; daisy, ‘innocence’—but is that the kind of person one speak of as a daisy? I rather think not. Cranberry, ‘heartache’—what’s the matter with ‘stomach ache?’ ° “Cloves, ‘dignity’—by Jove, I hardly think so! A dead give away, if anything. Chicory, ‘fru- gality’—very good also, with a suggestion of boarding-house about it, eh? Camomile, ‘energy in ad- versity’—sort of reference to the pill there, isn’t it? Broom, ‘neatness’—quite apt, that; apple, ‘temptation’—Adam and Eve, I suppose. “Well, there are some that I see the point of very easily. But there are other flowers that seem to have no connection whatever with the meanings attached to them.” “What, for example?” asked Puggs. “Well, take ghe apple-blossom; it means, according to this chap, ‘Fame speaks him great and good.’ I'll give a month’s salary to any one who'll explain to me why an apple-viossom should mean that. It’s absurd, absurd. “Then there’s the pink convolvulus; that means ‘worth sustained by judicious and tender affec- tion.’ Did you ever hear such tommy-rot? Then, if you want to tell a man ‘ycur temper is too hasty,’ and he’s bigger than you are, and there’s no telephone handy, you send him a gramman- thus chloraflora, whatever that may be. A mushroom means ‘I can’t trust you,’ which is idiotic, unless the idea is that it might be a toadstool and therefore poison. Possibly. “A peach signifies, ‘your qualities, like your charms, are unequalled.” Why does it, tell me? Do you suppose that’s why we speak of a girl as a peach? Hey? Listen to this, now. A ste- phanotis means ‘will you accompany me to the East? Ha, ha! It might just as easily mean ‘allow me to pass you the mayonnaise as not, you know.” » “Well,” murmured Puggs, “if there’s to be a flower language at all, the things have got to mean something. Why not one tning as well as another?” “That’s all right,” said Muggs, “but let there be some congruity to it all. Now, I wish I may die if I see the point to a calceolaria-(I wonder how much they are a dozen?) meaning ‘I offer you pecuniary assistance!’ ”’ And Muggs flung the little hand-book down in the corner.

In midst of human seas, Behold the steamship of life; On it moves before the mental breeze, Stocked with thy children and thy wife. It’s but a waif on such a deep, That laves on mortal shore: Oft the passengers in sorrow weep, For, alas! too oft they see the ship no more. On human seas we all set sail, There to find failure or success; Sometimes a spanking gale Strews the deck with slippers and distress, Then to save the ship we deeply think To throw overboard some matter; poetry for him. LANCASTER ACCOMMODATION. By J. F. Signers, Lancaster, Pa. One day while George had his vacation, Took the Lancaster accommodation, And happy like a clam’s shell, To see his Mary this you could tell. But in the car he started war, Till the conductor rang the bell. He will remember the day of the Lancaster, Pa. And its accommodation while on his vacation. When George recovered from his shock, Wondering where he was he took good look; Repairing quietly to livery stable for steed, Drove out for Mary on Monroe street. Now happy like a lark at Conestoga Park, Smoking an “aromatize” weed. : He will remember, &c. When George’s steed was covered wit foam, He turned swiftly around for home. Then Mary’s desire was for home to go. But coming there he met her other beau; d by One Naughty Boy and a Little Piece of String.

We return cur thanks—not so much for the poem, but for your frankness in assuring us that we are not being buncoed. Much of the best poetry we received is rejected by us through fear that it has appeared elsewhere. Last week we received eight poems en- titled ‘‘The House Where I Was Born.”’ As they were identically alike, we suspected that we were being flamboozled, and returned them all but one. We will pay a reward of $3 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the seven poets who tried to hoodwink us. THE RAGGED FLAG. Words and Music by William T. Cassidy, No. 74 Bre- men street, Newark, N. J. ’'Twas Independence Day, the cannons were roar- ing, many houses were decorated with flags, At a humble homestead, hanging from a window, appeared an old banner that was shot into rags. A foreigner passing espied our loved emblem, he swore in his rage at the red, white and blue. “That dirty old rag is a disgrace to all nations, -909-$-09-$-0-0-0-0-00-0-0-0-0-00-0-0-09-0--0f 00-0 fee OOo rr Or 9 Oo Oe he oD I’ll always love that dear old flag, to protect it q hard I'll strive. And if you dare insult it, you will never walk away from here alive. (Two more verses to come.) . We acknowledge the accompanying explanation: “I like poetry, as I have some talent myself on @ 800g writing basis; that is, I form an idea for a song, then write the verses and chori, then sing them ts my friends. They all declare my compositions are ‘all right.’ Still I am not entirely satisfied, and I have * concluded to send you weekly or every fortnight one . of my compositions, which will be original in every respect. Kindly insert in your ‘Poet's Corner,’ and I ask yon to kindly criticise the same. If it. ls correct please inform me. If at fault let me know, as I am anxious as to my standing.” It ts difficult for us to do ourself justice with such a small fragment before us. We must handle large masses of your poetry in order to come to decisions that we will be able to maintain, should they be carried to the Supreme Court. , We will say, however, that we think we like your barrel.
