Mrs. Helen Cornelius of 24 North Comp- ton avenue submitted to Judge Spencer Sat- urday her answer to the habeas corpus pro- ceedings instituted against her a few days ago by Charles Burns for the pessession of hig 3-year-old daughter. The plea was re- ceived and the case laid over until next Wednesday. Burns in his application to the court stated that Mrs. Cornelius was his wife's mother, and was illegally restraining his daughter. Friday Mrs. Bessie Burrs instituted pro- ceedings for divorce from him, alleging cruelty, drunkenness and general indign!- ties, and that he beat the children and was neglectful of them.

THE ARREST MAY LEAD TO FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS CONCERNING THEM, THE POLICE The Young Blacksmith Showed the Old Man’s Shrewdness in Making the Arrest of the Culprit. Additional disclosures are expected in con- Nection with the recent systematic robbery of Cupples Station wholesale horses. Acting under the authority vested in every citizen to aid the police in the suppression of crime, Ed Butler, Jr., made a capture Saturday morning that is probably of more than ordinary importance. He arrested Abe Lipechitz, a 14-year-old incorrigible, well Known to the police. The boy is charged w:th theft. That there is a foundation for the charge is shown by 32 costly specimens of pocket cutlery found upon the person of the youth, The knives belong to the Simmons Hard- ware Co., one of the Cupples Station vic- tims, In the face of such overwhelming evi- dence the boy admitted hienself guilty of theft, and said he took the knives from a counter on the second floor of the Simmons building. That feature of the story is not accepted by the police. Capt. O’N —@ / is working on the theory that young Lipschitz has been acting in league with employes of the Simmons establishment, and Special Offi- cer Keely was detailed Saturday to make an investigation along that line. Capt. O’Malley’s theory is concurred in by Supt. Pliicher of the Eimesone company, who called at the Four Courts’shortly after the arrival of the prisoner. “IT can hardly see how this boy could get his hands on so many knives without some assistance,’’ said Supt. Pilcher. When quéstioned by a reporter for the Post-Dispatch, the boy emphatically denied that he had any accomplice. “I don’t need any help,’ he said. The story of how the junior Col. Butler made the arrest is interesting. Young Lipschitz appeared at the Butler horseshoeing e:tabijiishment Friday evening and offered to sell a knife for a quarter. It was easily worth $1.25. Thus suspicion was created. The lad was told to call again. Meanwhile Col. Butler, having recognized the knife as a Simmons brand, notified the He Was requested to detain the youth if he returned.

Officer Harlow respond- ed and took the prisoner to the Central Station. Special Officer Keely took the Lipschitz boy to the Simmons establishment, where the sweating process was applied. After two hours Or more the oner was returned to the Four Courts, R@re he was locked in the holdover. He made no material devia- tion from his original. statement—that he himself was alone in ‘the theft. “It is possible, of course, that the boy operated independent of any accomplice. He is one of the smoothest thieves we kKnow,”’ said the officer. The boy has been arrested several times before on charges of theft, and was at one time sent to the House of Refuge. The knives found in the lad’s possession are valued at $33—enough to constitute a charge of grand larceny. NO HONEY FOR A DOCTOR, Death of a Woman Whose Life Might Have Been Saved. Because of poverty Mrs. Mary Schiller, a widow, died without medical attention, that might have prolonged life. The lack of attention was due to extreme sensitiveness on her part. Mrs. Schiller and her two children lived in squalid apartments on the third floor ofa dingy brick building at 812 Geyer avenue, They could mot bear the idea of accepting assistance. : A week ago Mrs. Schiller became ill, but would not allow a doctor to be called. Friday night she became Sha was seized with a convulsion. The anxious children ran out for help. They found Dr. Ehriich of 1823 South Ninth street. The widow breathed her last just as he arrived. He could not, under the circumstances, iesue a death certitiéate. and the attntion of the Coroner was called. Deputy Coroner Gast viewed the body Saturday and decided that death was due to natural causes Mr. Gast says that he found evidence of distressing poverty. DIED IN THE PENITENTIARY.

Viola Heitman, Three Years Old, Sus. tains Serious Injuries. Viola Heitman, 3 years old, living at 2915 South Tenth street, climbed on a washing machine and reached the top of the ratling of the second etory back porch Friday after- noon. The child lost her balance and fell to the ground below. She struck the edge of the porch in her descent and sustained a deep gash in her forehead.

At the Planters’ Hotel later Mr. McCall was visited by a number of loca] insurance men, who congratulated him on his stand on the question of war rates. In conversa- tion with his visitors, Mr. McCall said:- ‘We will not only maintain our present rates even on the policies of holders who are likely to go to the front, but we will make null and void all restrictions hitherto in force. A large number of our old _ policies contain clauses ere the holder from oiling to war, That claim has been annulled.

MARKETS DECIDEDLY NERVOUS They Opened in New York With a Downward Slide. NEW YORK, March 26.—The stock mar- ket presented a lively appearance at the opening, owing to the liquidation of large holdings, based on the grave aspect of the Cuban-Spanish situation. The announce- ment of the nature of the Maine Board of Inquiry’s report and the unsettled condl- tion of foreign markets, prepared the local traders for a vigorous downward move- ment, which developed at the start. The nervousness of the specuiation, owing to the preponderance of the Cuban factor, was amply illustrated by the rapid drop in prices which followed attempts to dis- pose of any large offerings. The specialties as of late, were further demoralized an gave way substantially. Sugar, Manhattan and Metropolitan street railway figure for 2 points loss, and a point or thereabouts was noted elsewhere in prominent\shares. The secondary quotations indicated a some- what steadier tone. The market displayed considerabie nervousness with ind.vidual transactions very large.

The rebound in prices was very significant and carried the average level of prices above yesterday's close. Sugar and Manhattan recovered fully and Metropolitan Street Railway attained 128.

WATERFORD, Ireland, March 2.—The Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Audaz has arrived here almost a complete wreck. Her bows are stove in and her stern is terribly twisted. The curve begins about 10 feet from the stern and extends to the extreme fv.rward part of the slender, racy crait. She is in such condition that the town- folk who manifest an interest in the com- lications between Spain and the Unite! tates are drawing comparisons between her fate and that of Philip’s invincible Ar- mada, part of which was wrecked on the Irish coast, after running away from the English fleet. People take whisky for two things; first, its pleasin effects, and secondly, for its flavor. This being true, it does seem strange that so many well-informed pefsons will use whiskies of which they know nothing and which ony. nauseate them when taken. The celebrated and popular O. F. ©. whisky is guaranteed by the Gov- ernment, possesses qualities such as jus- tify its indorsement, and it also pleases the palate of the most fastidious. At the same time it costs no more than ordinary | whiskies. SPANISH JOURNALS ‘MADRID, March 2%.—The Ministerial or- gan, El Globe, yesterday remarked that the panic of the last few days increases rather than diminishes. It added: “Fortunately the political situation must not be judged by the state of the money market. “Senor Moret (Minister of the Colonies), in his speech at the banquet at the Mod- erne Theater, gives the real state of affairs when he describes the present clouds as re- sembling the heavy smoke which rises from an expiring conflagration. ‘‘People will do well to place reliance in the authoritative words of a responsible Minister rather than in the baseless and pernicious rumors of the stock exchange.’ El Liberal attributes the fall in Spanish securities to the ‘“‘jingo talk of some of the Spanish press.’’ It says that “silence has now become a patriotic duty,’ adding: ‘Let Spain make every preparation to defend herself, but let it be done quietly and with- out ostentation.’’ Continuing, El Lfberal says Senor Sa- gasta has informed the Queen Regent that the state of affairs did not warrant the be- lief that “‘we were face to face with an imminent conflict with the United States, though he did not conceal the existing dif- ficulties nor the dangers of the future.”’ One reason assigned for the mysterious ' TAKE VARYINC VIEWS OF THE CASE. ) visit paid to Madrid by the Spanish Am- bassador to France is the following: “It ap- pears,’ says E] Imparcial (Independent), that the Philippine refugees who recently arrived in Paris have been invited by Dr. Velances and other friends of the New York filibustering Junta to conferences, in which the subject of a fresh rebellion in the Philip- pines was discussed. It is added that the rich Amertean banker, Monroe, who on sev- eral occasions has unsuccessfully sought the support of several Spanish politicians for the purchase of Cuba, is the person who at second hand is offering to find the funds required for the rising. Senor Leon y Castillo, the Spanish Am- bassador, on learning their maneuvers, had an interview with the French Minister of State, and as a result, it has been decided in Madrid to present a note requesting the expulsion of the Philippine refugees from that country.”’ . The Heraldo (ndependent), attaches great importance to the hurried visit the anish Ambassador to France has paid to Madrid, It does not for a moment credit the rumor that it is due to electoral reasons, consider- ing that so important a personage would not have left his post except for an affair of national interest. “Although it Is very difficult to penetrate the mystery,” the Heraldo thinks that fin- —— | ancial questions are at the root of the af- fair.

Each reaffirmed that his government—Minister Woodford speaking for the United States and Senor Gullon for Spain—would be guided by the report of its own naval court. One report said the explosion which sank the Maine came from the outside; the other asserted that the battleship was wrecked by an accidental internal explosion. With equal firmness they urged the conflicting views of their respective governments in regard to the Cuban war situation and the condition of the reconcentrados. When they separated, after two hours’ earnest argument, neither had yielded an inch. The two governments were as wide apart as before. Spain is on the eve of a momentous election. The fate of the Liberal Government—and perhaps of the dynasty—hangs upon the result of next Sunday’s voting for members of the Cortes. I have carefully inquired among the numerous political parties and I cannot find a single party, nor even a solitary candidate, who will consent to the sacrifice of “Spain’s rights in Cuba.” Indeed, the candidates of all parties rival one another in the intensity of patriotism and the willing- ness to fight if necessary to save Cuba for Spain. ee The government has received full details of the report of the Spanish Commission on the Maine catastrophe. It declares positively that the explosion was accidental. | Admiral Bermejo, the Minister of Marine, communicated the report to the Queen Regent and to Premier Sagasta at the palace. The Queen kept Senor Sagasta to lunch. Afterward Senor Sagasta telephoned for the Ministers of Foreign Affairs (Gullon) and of the Colonies (Moret), who joined him promptly. The three had along conference with the Queen Regent and then went to the Foreign Office. Finally it was decided to cable to Marshal Blanco to send a copy of the report of the Spanish Commission to Washington immediately. An officer bearing the report will reach Washington Wednesday. Spain thus wishes to give fresh proof of her conciliatory attitude. ARTHUR E. HOUGHTON, Special Correspondent of Post-Dispatch. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. (Dispatch sanctioned by the Spanish Government and passed by the Censor.) MADRID, Spain, March 26.—-The critical moment has arrived. Statesmen in and out of high positions, politicians of every party and degree, are even more plain spoken in saying so than the press and the tone of the newspapers, unanimous on this point, has been very striking. Public sentiment in Spain is irresistibly forcing the government to declare that it can go no further in the way of concession to avoid more strain upon Spain’s relations with the United States. The Spaniards lay the responsibility of the crisis and of subsequent events upon the Ameri- cans. It is maintained here that American public sentiment, President McKinley, the Government at Washington and the Representatives of the United States in Cuba have taken advantage of every incident, circumstance and pretext to gradually play into the hands of the jingoes in Congress in order to find plausible grounds for an attempt to compel Spain to accept American intervention in some shape in settlement of the Cuban question. The last straws were the petition to remove the Maine wreck and a dispatch from the Spanish Winister at Washington reporting that President McKinley will send to Congress next week the finding of the American Naval Court of Inquiry, accompanied by consular reports upon the state of Cuba, and will propose to send relief to the distressed Cubans by war vessels, under the superin- tendency of United States Consuls. : : The Spaniards resent these things bitterly. There has been great activity in official and political quarters all day. At a Council of Ministers in the palace, presided over by the Queen Regent, Premier Sagasta explained the situation in detail. He informed the Regent that the government had instructed Marshal Blanco to refuse the new petition made by the American Naval authorities—this time for permission to remove the wreck of the Maine without the use of explosives. Senor Sagasta said that Spain intends that the wreck all remain untouched until the whole affair is settled. With a view to reaching a settlement the Minister of State, in a note to the American Govern- ment, broaches the idea of not communicating the reports of the two investigating commissions to the parliaments of the respective countries until the two cabinets have recéfved the full reports and are able to examine the conflicting conclusions and to discuss the means of arriving at a satis- factory agreement to avert a collision. Nothing is known among diplomats and government officials here of any alleged understanding between England and France to offer to mediate. vailed.

NEW YORK, March 26.—James B. Eustis, former American Ambassador to France, said last night in reference to an interview otaux, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the attitude of the French Government with regard to the Spanish-Cuban question, in which the Frenchm was quoted as say- ing that “‘there mus no conflict’’ be- tween this country and Spain: “Since this Spanish-Cuban question has become serious the attitude of the French Government has become one of extreme delicacy. Having frequently discussed this — with M. Hanotaux, I have always ound that his attitude as regards the Spanish and United States was exceedingly correct. ‘The affinities of race and community of religion between France and Spain are not sufficiently strong to destroy the additional friendship between the French and Amer- ican Republics. It is true that the French capitalists have great interests in Spain, but it would be difficult to discover how their interests could be subserved by en- tangling France in any conflict with the United States.’’ SAY IT IS ONLY FOR POLITICAL EFFECT. WIASHINGTON, March 26.—It developed to-day that the State Department had in- structed Minister Woodford to intimate to the Madrid authorities that the departure toward American waters of the flotilla could only be accepted by this Government as an act of unfriendliness. This view of the matter was promptly communicated to the Spanish Government, and it was expected that the American ob- jection would prevail. The only explanation which appears to have been vouchsafed to the American Min- ister at Madrid was that the departure of the ships from the Canaries was without hostile intent, and that the movement was rendered necessary in order to appease the Spanish populace, This explanation has not been recognized by the Washington authorities as gatisfac- tory. Some of the President’s advisers are in favor of sending a large fleet of warships out to intercept the flotilla without delay, Governments cepting that the operations are likely to be confined to keeping the flotilla at Porto Rico instead of turning it back in the mid. Atlantic. The fact that the American suggestion referred Dy Minister Woodford thas been genored increased the apprehension of the officials here. oa NO DOUBT AS TO THE FINAL ISSUE. NEW YORK, March 3%.—**There could be no doubt as to the final outcome of a war between this rich and powerful coun- try and little Spain,” said Vice Admiral Makaroff, of the Russian Navy, who is on leave of absence from his command of the Baltic squadron, in an interview yes- day.

March 2.—It has trans- pired here that Lieut. Charles 8S. Ripley of the Marblehead disappeared from his ship while she was at Tampa, about March 16. Inquiries made by the ship's officers at the Port Tampa ticket office showed that a man answering to Ripley’s description had pur- chased a ticket as far as Jacksonville. No motive for desertion was known, and it is believed that Ripley was at least tempo- rarily insane. A brother of Lieut. Ripley has informed Commander McCalla that the Lieutenant reached his old home in Con- necticut in a demented condition. Ripley was appointed by the President in a few months on the Marblehead.

Councilman Louls J. Walker of Philadelphia has confessed that he took a bribe of $500 for hin vote to lease the waterworks.

No actual evidence has yet come out that the St. Loul,s grabbers and city lewmakers are in similar “busi- ness.” But everything points strongly in that direction.

It is to be hoped, therefore, that something may be done to stop the fleet, while still unarmed, and before it can assume a warlike character. If itis true, as reported in“Administration organs, that Spain was notified that the appearance of the fleet In Cuban waters would be accepted by this Government as an act of un- friendliness, there is nothing more to be said.

A true warrior would prefer to be hit by almost any other shells than eg«-shells. Gov. Ellierbe of Gouth Carolina says there are 4000 militiamen in that State who “would fight a circular saw to protect the honor of the American fiag.”’ If we could just say that we had seen 4000 South Carolinians fighting a circular saw, we should hasten to tell the Spanish people what we saw.

WASHINGTON, March 2%.—Strange con- ditions prevail at Middlesboro, Ky., ac- cording to the report which Surgeon Gen- eral Wyman has received from Surgeon Wertenbaker, who was sent there to make an investigation of the smallpox epidemic. The population numbers about 4200, and con- sists chiefly of the employes of the furnaces and a tannery and miners, who live in the town and work in adjacent mines. Nearly, if not quite, half the population are negroes. The town has been absolutely quarantined since Feb. 28, no one being allowed either to enter or leave it. Since the Board of Health took charge 1960 persons have been vacci- nated, and forcible vaccination is still pro- gressing. There have been 169 cases of smallpox and three deaths. The patients are without food. A com- mittee of citizens m nd discussed tae mat- ter, ont has wired the situation to the Goy- ernor and the State board, asking them to request the assistance of the Government, ‘‘Numerous little towns and ‘villages with- fh a radius of ® miles have instituted ‘shot- gun’ quarantines, and will allow no one to enter or leave them, though they have no smallpox in them.”’ KNOWN ONLY AS A FREAK. A Supposed Millionaire, Wanted in Berlin, Must Be a Romancer. BERLIN, March 26.—The police have is- sued a circular containing a personal de- scription of Edward Stempel, described as an American millionaire, born at Rock Island, Ill., and lately residing in a suburb of Berlin, asking for his arrest on the charge of committing a deadly assault upon a fellow passenger on a train. Stem- pel is said to De stopping at Nice with his family. ROCK ISLAND, Til... March 26.—Edward Stempel has not lived here for sixteen years. He became a museum freak, posed as an India rubber man and also did a “turn” as a magician. He was known pro- fessionally as ‘Signor Ferrerili.”” He was for several seasons with Barnum & Bal- lev’s circus, and when that organization went to London he accompanied it. Stempel managed the Iron Theater in New Orleans at one time, and was success- ful as a manager in St. Louis ,but it was not known here that he was a millionaire, SHE RESISTED ARREST. A Woman Lawyer Resists the Sheriff and Makes Her Escape. FORT SCOTT, Kan., March 26.—Attorney Isabel Darlington, daughter of ex-Con- gressman Smedley Darlington of Pennsyl- vania, forcibly resisted arrest for contempt yesterday afternoon. In her struggle with the Sheriff the officer tore her dress, but she got away from him and left on a train for her home in Westchester. Miss Darlington has been here representing an Bastern capitalist who loaned money through H. . Butler, a missing attorney. T secure alleged losses she obtained a bill of sale from Mrs. Butler on his l- brary. The next day the library was ate tached by a widow, and Miss rlington was subpenaed to the Probate Court to testify that Butler had abandoned the property, which would otherwise be ex- t. “'she failed to appear, but was driven in a closed carriage to a suburban station, in- tending to take a train for home to avoid testifying. An attachment was issued in- structing the Sheriff to bring her into court. TO USE CARRIER PIGEONS. Case of Accidents. WONDON, March 2%.—The French Line steamer La Bretagne, which egails from Havre to-day, takes 100 carrier Pigeons with the view of testing the possibility of establishing communication with the shore in case of accident.

LOUTS ts to be congyatulated on her S very handsome new history, compiled and published by John Devoy of this city. The title is “A History of St. Louis and Vicinity, From the Earliest Times to the Present.”’ It is a large volume of 415 pages, profusely and finely illustrated, printed in clear type, on heavy calendered paper, with wide margin, and bound in leather. It would be acceptable as a presen- tation volume, but while its contents will be interesting to all, its chief use, of course, will be as a reference work, and newspaper offices and public men will find it inval- uable. Besides the strictly historic matter the book contains views and descriptions of all the modern improvements—parks, pub- lio and commercial pbuildings, schools, churches, etc.; also a large and well Se- lected set of biographical sketches, with portraits of the brainy and progressive mea who are now making history in St. Louls. There dfe also sketches of the clubs, social organizations, commercial bodies; statistics of the railroads, libraries, newspapers and almost every other branch of industry and municipal life. The book is a credit to its compiler and to the city of St. Louls. ARPER & BROS. have just published H a condensation of John Lothrop Mot- ley’s celebrated work, “The Rise and Fall of the Dutch Republic,” by William Elliot Griffis, author of ‘“‘The Mikado’s Em- pire,” etc., member of the American His- torica® Association and of tthe Society of Netherlandish Literature of Leyden. This book is not a reprint; it claims independent consideration, Seven hundred pages out of the 900 odd contain a condensation of Mot- ley’s “The Rise of the Dutch Republiic,”’ to which Mr. Griffis has supplied an introduc- tion and frequent foot-notes. To this he has added a historical sketch of the Dutch peo- ple from the death of ‘William _the Silent'to 1897. As he says in his concluding sentence, “In all the earth there are no peoples who ought to be more familiar with Dutch his- tory than those who speak the English lan- guage, Of all the nations, none ought to be more grateful thay the United Kingdom and the United States, since from the Northern Netherlands theythave in blood, speech, law, industry, inventions, art and ideas bor- rowed so much.” It is from this point of view that he has written the sketch, which is not only an epitome, complete in itself, but a broad foundation on which the student may build further study. BARING GOULD has gone back S into ‘the eighteenth century for e material for a tragic romance, “Bladys Stewponey,” on the lines of Maurus which is constructed Jokal’s medieval story of horrors, “Pretty Michal.” In both stories one of the chief characters is a pub- lic executioner, and as in Victor Hugo’s terrible tragedy, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,’’ the brutalities of public executions are graphically portrayed. The incidents in “Bladys Stewponey” ‘ as odd and im- robable as the name of the woman which s used as title, but the author shows in his process that he hag historical ground for oth. The West of Englanad is the scene of his picture, and that picture is an im- ressive one, drawn with masterly hand. New York: Frederick A, Stokes Co.)

= ANSON AGA ON TP. ia | 7 : : : | THE VETERAN PLAYER REALLY HOLDS AN OPTION ON THE CHICAGO CLUB. IT EXTENDS UNTIL APRIL 15. Ti He Makes the Purchase He Will Take Hold at Once and Jim Hart Will Have to Go. In the Post4Dispatch of Thursday after- noon there appeared an Associated Press Gispatch from Chicago stating that A. C. Anson had been given an option on and was likely to buy the White Stocking club. Now the Chicago papers are chock full of ’ ’ ’ ’ | at | : _ that story. It Was said in Thursday's dispatch that A. G. Spalding had given Anson the option. Spalding is one of the chief owners of the Chicago club, and controls some of the stock which he does not own. In that way he was in a position to give Anson an op- tion on the bulk of the stock, or e h of it to put the veteran in complete con- trol. Other owners are James A. art, John R. Walsh, Thomas A. Barrett, John Addison and one or two more who own but email pieces of stock. The ciub is capitalized at $150,000, there Deing in all 1000 shares of stock at $150 apiece. Anson now owns 130 shares, It is un- derstood his option includes enough of the Dalance to clinch control of the club. The veteran was in rare good humor Thursday night while discussing the probable sale at dig-home in Thirtieth street, Chicago. “Is it true, Captain, that you are trying to raise enough capital to buy the “Chicago Baseball Club?’ was the first question esked of the veteran. “It certainly is true,’”’ was the firm reply, and the Captain's face became wreathed in emiles at onfe. “Just ask me all the ques- tions you want and I will answer as many of them as I can consistently and without violating any confidences.”’ “Are you sanguine of being successful In your efforts?" “T have every reason in the world to think I will be successful.’’ “You have an option,\then, on enough of the stock not owned by you at present to se- Cure absolute control of the club?” “That's the idea exactly. The option I have on the club is good until April 15, and the price set is $150,000. That is 1000 shares at each. As I now own 130 shares of club stock myself, with a value of $19,500, the required capital is but $130,500.’ : ; : : ’ : ’ - : : e) “Who is backing you in the purchase?” “Chicago capital, undoubtedly. My Chi- cago friends are coming to my support most satisfactorily, and 1 hope to have the required amount pledged in a few days, or in a week at the latest.” “Have you had any outside offers of as- sitance?”’ “Yes, I have been in correspondence for Bome time avith New York capitalists, but am holding off with the hope of securing the necessary money in Chicago. It is the Chi- team, and I would much rather it be o eapital and Chicago enterprise in Chicago. money is good enough for me.” “If the transfer Is made, will you assume Pentre! of the team? : : I will take the team ptetenl most of the men myself, and nat- urally I am well satisfied with my own selection of players.”’ “Does this new scheme remove the pos- sibility of your going into business with Mr. Mussey?’’ “It does not. It is not at all improbable I will go in with Muss He will have the finest place in the world, is a prince of g¢ fellows, a shréwd business man, and we are ve g00d friends. You may @aiso see me in the billlard business.”’ President Hart of the Chicago club re- fused point blank to talk of the matter. He was annoyed apparently that the story had leaked out. It has been known for some time that he is not on the best of terms with the veteran, although to outward ap- pearances there was nothing but the best of feeling hetween them. The club Presi- dent has attended to the business end of the Chicagos’ affairs, and always left the ac- tual workings of the team to Captain Man- ager Anson. There was little friction in that way. ‘When the announcement was made that Anson would be allowed to go at the expiration of h's contract, Feb. 1, President Hart naturally felt extremely del- icate about the matter. The entire affair was put on his shoulders and that made it worse for him. Asked if there was any truth in the story, Mr. Hart said he had refused all day to say one word about it. The most skillful questioning was unavailable. He would not make definite reply to any of them, begging coldly to be excused. Even to inti- mate friends he would say nothing more. A. G. Spalding is in California. The big man has a habit of being out of town when interesting news is current regarding the doings of the Chicago Club. When he went to Europe last fall, taking Anson with him, all kinds of stories were rife. When he re- turned he remained in New York and con- tinually dodged the interviewers. Now he is again safely away from them. ST. TERESAS VS. ALL ST. LOUIS. They Will Play a Game of Football at Sportsman’s Park. Manager Tim Hurst of the St. Louis Browns has decided not to play baseball to- morrow afternoon. The football cranks will have a chance to see one of the best foot- ball games of the season. The contending teams will be St. Teresas and the All St: Louis team, captained by Dick Jarrett. The team will be composed of the following player: Jarrett, Reed, Kane, Erman, Mc- weeney and Hogan forwards; Dan Daly, Milne, Finnegan for Shaughnessey, hal backs; witth Quinn, Patrick McDonough, Haves, Nolan, full backs, and McCormack er Vien in the goal. An effort will be made to have Joe Sugden, the Browns’ catchér to refree the game. Mr. Sugden is one of the finest football players in or around Philadelphia, having played with Moynihan and Robineon of the St. Teresas. CROSS-COUNTRY CBUB. It’s New Quarters to Be Opened at Grand Avenue and Pine To-Night. The Cross Country Club's new clubhouse and headquarters at Grand avenve and Pine street will be opened to-night with a “smoker.’’ The club has sent out 100 In- vitations and the opening promises to be an oceasion long to be remembered Fulford Stil?

KID M’COY AT CINCINNATI. His Hands Are All Right and He Is in Good Shape for His Meeting With Bonner. Gus Fredericks, the young St. Louls boxer, lost a fight last night at Sandusky, O., but he went the 20 rounds all right. This spe- cial to the Post-Dispatch from Sandusky tells the story: Sandusky, O., March 2%. Tommy Cav- anaugh of New York and Gus Fredericks of St. Louls fought 3 rounds in this city this evening at the Nielsen Opera House. George Siler of Chicago was referee. Cavanaugh was seconded by Charles Koch of this city and Jack Rayborn of Cincinnati and Tommy Fallon of Cleveland and Jack Keebe of Cincinnati were behind Fredericks. The men entered the ring shortiy after 9 o’clock an@ from the first they seemed to be wary of each other. Referee Siler cau- tioned the men that unless they stood up and fought he would declare the contest a draw. These remarks were greeted with ap- Plause from the 500 ectators. From the third round until the close ff was give and take, but Cavanaugh, seemingly the heavier of the two, had the best of the fight all through, and at the close of the 20th round appeared as fresh as when he entered the ring. He was awarded the fight by Siler. The purse was $500. Kid McCoy passed through Cincinnati peaseusey en route to New Orleans, where e meets Jaek Bonner Monday night. He was accompanied by his new wife and by Doc Payne, his trainer. He said his hands were all right, and when asked if he had traiped any for his fight with Bonner r#4 don't belleve in traini weeks,’’ said the Kid. * en you do that you expend all your energy training.

While McCoy waa in Cincinnati a mes- Sage was received from New York to the effect that it was desired that his fight with Gus Ruhlin take place in the metropo- lis. “‘]’ll never fight in New York as long as Tom O'Rourke is at the head of the pugi- listic game. I can’t forgive him for the way he always treated me,” said MoCoy. “Tl am sure that we will get a good purse somewhere. According to my agreement with Madden, I can’t box over four rounds with anybody until after my go with Ruh- lin. That doesn’t prevent me from taking on two men, four rounds each, the gsamé night. I intend to do this in the shows I will give after my return from New Or- leans.”’ Some time ago the manager of the Metro- politan Club of Wheeling, W. Va., offered a purse for a W-round go between Aus. | tralian Jmmie Ryan and Doc Payne. Doc Said he was perfectly willing to make the match. Mrs. McCoy will accompany her husband to New eans. Jack Bonner, who has been trained at New Orleans for his fight with MoCoy, says he is going to lick the Kid. O, hush! : Billy Madden and his protege, Gus Ruh- f— who is matched to meet McCoy, are at Indianapolis. A special from there says: During his stay in this city Ruhlig is de- veloping into a glutton for work. This week he has been putting in his time at the Marbarger 4dymnasium, and to-day, to show his wers of endurance, he boxed for fifty minutea without cessation taking on Marbarger, Kid Williams, Joe Haspwel and a stranger in rapid succession, one after the other without stopping. Ruhlin’s wind is first-class and he has the appear- ance of a man whocan stand a good deal of punishment. In all his work he is carefully coached hi Madden, and he seems to be @ docile pupil. He is anxious that the details of the coming match with McCoy be ar- ranged so that he can begin training in earnest.”’ Beside all the other good goes to be brought off at McCasland Opera House Bast St. Louig, Thursday night, there will a six-round o . between Frank Cabrilliac and Billy Brennan, two bantams of the first class. Cabrilliac has met such men as Richie and George Dixon, and Bren- nan has fought “Swipe the New York newsboy. Lee Leblanch may not be able to get in condition to me@#t Kid Foutz, and in that event a go between Joe Frede and an Bast St. Louis boxer will be substituted, The next big prige fight will probably be that between Tom Sharkey and Jim Jeffries, and it will likely be brought off be- fore the Olympic Club in San Francisco. Peter Jackson celebrated his defeat by Jim Jeffries at San Francisco by getting gioriously drunk. STARTER Cul RLY BROWN. He Is Still in New @rleans and Facing Matt Foster’s Charges. NEW ORLEANS, March 26.—Curly Brown put In an appearance at the track this afternoon, his first since his recent trouble with Mat Foster at the West End on Sun- day. The reports sent out in connection with that scrap, to the effect that the starter had eluded the local police depart- ment and left the city prove to have been unfounded. e has not been out of the city, but, acting on legal advice, he did not make his whereabouts known until this morning, when he reported at police head- quarters and was released on a bond to appear at the Fourth Recorder’s Court on Saturday morning, when the case against him will come up. He asserts that the Foster brothers were the aggressors in the wrangle in the bet- ting ring Saturday and that it was reported to him that night that they had threatened to do him up when they met him away from the track. He says that when he met Mat Foster at the West End Sunday he asked him if he (Foster) was ready to make good his threats, and on replying in the affirmative he struck h!m with fhis fist. A friend of his adversary, according to his statement, then made a moye as if to at- tack him, when he struck him with the butt end of his pistol. As Foster returned to the attack he struck him over the head with the pistol. That, in substance, is his versien of Sunday’s difficulty. He denies that he was lying in wait for Foster, as charged in the affidavit against him, and says he will hold him to legal account for making such affidavit, As he cannot establish the charge. Bro Says he not only did not leave the city, but that he at no time even contemplated doing 6o. Wwill foodward, Loge Laudeman and meary Brown will leave for Memphis to- orrow. Friday’s Track Winners.

The captains of the crews and the coaches held a conference and decided, in view of the unfavorable conditions, which looked likely to grow worse during the afternoon, that the start would not take place until 3:30 p. m.

Loring and Blake ude he will attempt to recover them by force, aided by the bandits that infested Arizonia in take precautions, but Loring \|s ncha, the piece of the rascally ho keeps a “@inner ranche’’ on the way Camp C 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 he re- colved the bead, he boards the coasting steam- er for San Francisco. As it happens, Pancha comes on board also, her relatives baving concluded to send ber away because she knew too much. 4 ots on izing Loring. Pancha's pepes fi ave Soerusted the pureer her order, which Lori belleves | e+ Pancha is almost pulled overboard by a big dol- i. She ‘s caught in time by Loring and the ice s thus broken\between them. He comes to the conclusion, after a number of chats, that she must e innocent. Shortly afterwards the vessel is wrecked. Mutiny breaks out, but is sternly re- pressed by Loring, who shoots the ringleader. The boat containing ra and Pancha is lifted into a passing steamer and they are rescued. The first mate of the sunken ship allows himeec)f to be feted as the hero of the mutiny while Loring re- mains silent. The package of diamonds is missin and the purser, who bas been saved. says he tosse it to Loring in the confusion. Geraldine Allyn and the agent of the Escalentes also try to the crime of appropriating the package on him. The cloud hangs over Loring, who is assigned to office duty in the engineer department in Califor- nia. The facts, however, as to his quelling the mutiny come out. The General in command and his fellow officers appear to believe in his guilt and inquiries are instituted. Loring receives orders to report for duty in the Department of the Platte. He hopes to vindicate himself fore leaving, but is implacably pursued by a etaff officer named Petty. who seeme deter- mined to ruin him. He finally concludes to go, but is placed under arrest at the General's order. Loring’s Washington friends in the service come was his desire to find a quiet place in the the new city, Lor- ing had moved back to the hotel. aving told the rector he desired to obtain table board at Mrs. Burton's, it of course resulted that the worthy ecclesiastic should speak to her at first opportunity, and that ehe should sp ly come in search of Mr. Loring to inguire why he had failed fo carry out his plan, and further to intimate that on the strength of the rector’s representations she had ordered a much nicer set of china and laid in a stock of provisions that just then were to be had at lower rates, which ex- cept that she expected him she could not have thought of doing. Indeed, Mrs. Bur- ton not only called once at his office, but followed it up by a visit to his lodging, where she shed tears in the presence of the person from whom he rented his rooms, and, this still proving ineffectual, she came again to department heatiquarters with the manifest object of taking the General and his staff into her confidence, to the equally manifest dismay of the chief and the dis- gust of his adjutant general, neither of whom could check the volume of the good lady’s words of woe. Loring found his sol- dierly commander rinning whimeically when he dropped in to say good morning. +The General wag that rare combination—a devout churchman and a stalwart fighter. Time and money had he devoted to the building up of this little church in the wild- erness and the communion service was his gift. More than once had he knelt to re- ceive the sacred elements from the tremb- ling hands of the worthy rector and listen to rs. Burton’s effusive “Amen!’’ on his left ere she parted with the cup that was then passed to his bearded lips. At the chancel rail all good Christians knelt in common and meekly bowed their heads, but when Mrs. Burton came up to head quarters with a rail of her own the Gen- eral couldn’t stand it, and said so to wor- cculisenes, and the two young men, clerk- ing in the new stores, no doubt, were as eager. But it became apparent within 24 hours that she held herself above and de- sired to hold hereelf aloof from them, which led to a dissection of her personal] charms on the part of the women, and of her mental wry on part of the men. Mr. Lambert ad commanded her to the care of Mrs. Burton. Her board was paid in advance and no questions asked. She went to church and sang softly, but in a voice 80 exquisifely sweet and penetrating that it tempered the strident melodies of the de- vout Omahannas, and caused many a head to turn. She spent the first few days at the rector’s or in her room. Then came a roomer with the rumor that she had a fol- lower, and for two evenings she was seen with a strange. young man, pacing slowly up and down the walk, but never going into town. Within 10 days after Loring settled in Omah& Mrs. Burton’s boarders were en- rossed in just two topics—the young lady n the second-story front, and the story of the young officer who first would and then wouldn’t be one of her number. No excep- tion to this statement as to Mrs. Burton’s poarcare is made in the case of the damsel erself. Loring frankly told his story as to Mrs Burton to the General. He had merely gsked Mr. Lambert if he could tell him of a lace to board. Lambert had led him ¢o Mrs. Burton's. He found it too far out and other- wise unsuitable, and had abandoned the idea. He had never seén Mrs. Burton or author- ized any one to speak to her for him. The General laughed and eaid he understood it all, was perfectly satisfied, and never thought of questioning him, and satésfied he was for several days. Then sudden! it was announced that Loring had decid | nly to return to the hotel for table but was actually rooming there, and dlord of whom had rented his turned up with a grievance, at least | ese use for them. Ten minutes later the Lieutenant found the office in commotion, clerks and orderlies hastening about with ave faces. Stone and Stanton with the eneral in his room; the General himseif, pellid and mopping his wet forehead. "This is horribly sudden,”’ he gaid, as he thrust an open dispatch into Loring’s hand. It was the brief announcement that the neral commanding the Department of Eanttornta, the chief Loring had so recently left, had dropped dead at his desk the night pefore. Littie as he had liked him, the en- gineer wamshocked and eved. “It may make grave changes,’ said the Adjutant General a little later. “It may send our kind and thoughtful chief to thé Pacific coast and give us—who?”’ “Tt will make one at least,’’ said Stone impetuously. ‘“‘It’ll send that galoot Petty back to his regiment right here in Ne- braska, and give him a taste of service he will little like.’’ “Why do you say back, Stone? Where did Petty ever serve with it except when tt was in the garrison of Washington?7eé asked the Adjutant General, “You know him, I g?"’ ' “I know him—yes.”’ ne hink he’d pan ’ t ‘* ‘He might.”’ ‘You're an optimist, Loring,” said Stone, who was ever seeking yet never succeeding in the effort to etrate the armor of Loring’s reserve. hink ever Burleigh would fight at a pinch.” ‘I'm sure he would,” said Loring, as he walked thoughtfully away. ‘‘That’s the dash, dashest man I met,”’ sald Stone, in terms he never know- ingly used in the hearing of his commander. ‘What he’d say to a man I can only from a letter Skinny wrote traz after that row they had ‘Il believe you t ‘out well in an Indian ever kindly. “Let me remove your ecruples, | Maj.

FLAWS PICKED IN THEM ALL. REQUESTS OF 50,000 VOTERS EN-. TIRELY IGNORED BY THE COMMITTEE. poe SS OTHER “BREAKS” WERE MADE. Word “Botch” Used’ Concerning the Scheme for Streets and “Bcodle” Regarding the Plan to Filter Water. “Botch” and “‘boodile.”’ These are the two words used by promi- nent City Hall officials to express their view of the charter amendment bill sub- mitted to the Council Friday evening by the Legislative Committee as a substitute for the two bills which were pending. “Botch’’,. refers to the gommittee’s work on the street improvement amendments and.the whole “‘get-up’’ of the bill. It Is used by Pres§jdent McoMath of the Board of Public Improvements., “What do you think of the charter amendments?” he was asked Saturday. **Botch,”” he said, explosively. “Please particu larize.”’ He beat a tattoo on his knees with the palms of hie hands and com ressed his lips. “Rotch all oe Phe throu ’ he sald, President ‘s main objection tis based on the go te of assesement for street improvements. The committee Tec- ommended an assessment based on the val- uation of the property in the assessment district. President MdMath denounces this as an unfair plan and will urge upon >the CounchH the substitution of a plan based on the benefits to be derived. “The committee have talked to me about the plan of assessment,” he said. “I have assured them that they will have we vi termined opposition to the assessment cording to the valuation plan. I will een a cotmmaisnnionkiae: to the Council. If the in ee he ‘bill tn mpracticable.”’ e harsh word ‘‘boodle”’ is applied to amendment No. 6. It invests the Healih Commissioner with the power to provide for the sanitary filteration rand clarification of the water supply from the city waterworks, in such manner as may be provided by or- dinance, either by the erection or leasing of a filter plant or by contract, and to Rave reneral supervision over the -sanita fil. tration and clarification of water, and en- fores.0 the performance of all contract work tou such filtration. The filtering op uestion,has been a prolific source of scandal and trouble for years. Almost a score of ordinances have been in- troduced tn the Council, always oupncee? at the instance of filter companies. all provided for doing the work by contract. The charter provides that all such con- tracts must emanate from the Board of Public Improvements. The beard ste fastly refused all inducements to pend in such a bill. It sent “in several bills provid for aoe city acquiring its own filter ant, these weré always turned down ‘by Couspell. Nobody knew the filter amendment w to be presented. It was pinned on to ‘he committee report been taken out or’s hand. The Mayor it was to be presented and expressed gsur- prise when told of it Saturday. He de- clined to discuss it until he had read it, but looked very grave. “The introduction of.the fifth a ment is more than pecullar, * sal McMath. “It takes the matter out of the hands of the Water Commissioner, where it belongs, and places it in the hands of the Health Commissioner. It makes it pos- sible for a contract of the work to be Pet. Recent decisions of the courts have given one company a virtual monopoly on this kind of work.’ The Committee on Legislation, composed of Messrs Thuner, Kratz and Gast, submitt- ed its report Friday night. On the re uest of the 56,000 voters for the submirgion of the merit system amendment, not a word of explanation was vouchsafeds The argument used by the committe all the time was that if it was submitted along with the street im- provement amendments it would lead to confusion and jeopardize the latter. The committee confessed that this objection was not made in good faith by recommending five amendments, affecting the streets, sewers, Water Department and Heaith Department The street improvetnent amendments are about as forecasted in the Post-Dispatch. Two additional offices are provid for, Assessor of Special eames 28 an ees As- sessor, at salaries of Under the plan of canes sug ted by the committee, the total cost o _. gros wl of a street will be charge o the ets in an assessment district, the ines. of which will be drawn paraliel to the street to be improved, approximately halt — between the street to be improved the next parallel at converging streeis. at the option of the properiy owner, a especial tax bill may be divided into six equal parts, Fr able res tively, one-sixth in cas e@ remain ung five-sixths in one, two, “three, four and five years, with interest at the rate of 6 per centum per annum.

Graham, assistant cashier of the Merchants-Laclede National Bank, died suddenly in Alexian Brothers’ Hospital just afier 12 o'clock Saturday morning. Mr. Graham had been suffering for a year with nervous prostration, but it was gen- erally presumed in banking circies that his month’s rest at Eureka Springs recently had effected a cure. Two weeks ago he re- turned to the city and reported to Presi- dent Lee for duty. He seemed much im- proved in health and went to work again vigorously, but after four or five days he broke completely down. His family were staying temporarily with Mrs. Graham's sister, Mrs. George F. Bergfeld, 4180 Morgan street, and Mr. Gra- ham decided he would go to the Baptist Sanitarium for treatment. Me had been there neariy a week when his physictans told him he was worrying too much about his family and he would do better if taken farther away. Then he went down to the Alexian Brothers, Where his death oc- spurred. Mr. Graham was born in St. Louls 26 ears ago and had been in the banking From an humble usiness fifteen years. ition in the Continental Bank he rose O be assistant cashier. When Charles W. sullen reorganized the National Bank of the Republic and became its President, he hamed Mr. Graham as cashier. With the death of Mr. Bullen the stock- holders decided to close out the business of the bank and transferred its affairs to the Marchants’-Laclede, of which . Mr. Graham became assistant cashier. He was married Sept. 28. 18%. to Mise Odie Hufft, by whom he had two children, tata now aged 3 years anda girl 8.months About two months ago Mr. Graham beran to show indications of a breakdown. He had labored unremittingly to build up the busi- ness of the three banks with which he had been connected, and the death of his friend Mr, Bullen, wag a great shock to him. There was a story current which found publication in one newspaper to the effect that his Vacation has been occasioned by the dis- pewnsing of a $5000 note that was shown to be worthless, and that he had been cen- sured for allowing the loan. This was offictally and formally declared by Presifent Lee to be untrue. But the in- cident served to call attention to the fact that Mr. Groham was suffering from ner- yous prostration and was unable to meet the demands of his position. The bank grave him leave of absence, with full pay, and he spent a month at Fureka Springs, as «tated. His return to the bank on coming back to St. Louis also showed he was in favor with the management.

FOURTH STREET HEARD FROM. MAYOR HAS TEN DAYS IN WHICH TO CONSIDER THE LOOP SCHEME. IT NOW RESTS WITH HIM. Delegates Rushed the Through and It Was at Once Signed by Presiding Offi- cers of Both Houses. The fate of the Suburban loop bill now rests with Mayor Ziegenhein. After being passed in the House of Delegates Friday night it was signed by both Speaker Lloyd of the House and President Meier of the Council. Saturday afternoon it will be laid before the Mayor. He has made it known that he is ir favor of the loop, but he will accord du¢ recognition to the protests of the Fourth street interests against thé third track feature. He will probably take the full ten days allowed him by law before acting on the measure. He will sign it unless his view is changed by the protests which will be made. The protest which will be pregented to the Mayor wili be 28 of oy ey le he has ve n called upon to listen to. 7 Blagg Ae he raxched his office Saturday morning Attorney George L. Neuhoff pre- sented a written protest, asking him to withhold his signature because the build- ing of the third track would be a death- blow to business on the east side of the street, would be a menace to life and would cause a great deterioration in the value @I roperty. 7 get signed by owners of about 1000 feet of frontage on the street, of a value, ex- clusive of improvements, of about $2,000;000. The signers were George 8S, Drach, trus- tee: Samuel N. Holliday, trustee; George L. Allen, George L. Neuhoff, for the Gerard B, Allen estate; Hssex Realty Co., John Lee, Arthur Lee, Van Studdiford estate, Turner Real Estate Co., by Wilson P. H. Turner, president; Charles G. Stiefel, Rialto Realty Co., by Festus J. Wade, president; Mary A. Shepley, Charles Parsons, Henry Hitchcock, trustee for Mary Hitchcock; Col- lier estate, J. F. Bolland and the J. Bolland estate. Mr. Neuhoff requested the Mayor to namo a time when the protesters could appear before him. Mayor iZtgenhein said hé would give the matter no consideration un til the bill had been sent to him. Mr. Neuhoff withdrew the petition and seid he would present it agt=in Monday. Mr. Neuhoff said he obtained the signa- tures to the protest in a half hour’s work Saturday morning and could have obtainea as many more if he had nal time. When the Railroad Committee of the House of Delegates took up the Suburban loop bill Friday afternoon it was evident that no ument against would bear a feather wetatt or be seriously considered for am instant. Gen. John W. Nobile, ex-Becretary of the Interior, gray-haired, dignified and elegant, undertook to tell the committee why a third track on Fourth street should not be bullt and that the property owners on that thoroughfare might have some rights. He proved by maps and plans that there are no alleyways back of the east side of Fourth «treet, and that with a third track there would be no room anywhere for the receiving and shipping of goods. The comaittee smiled et the gentleman and, without giving him a chance to retire, said boldly to him: ‘“‘There is nothing in ‘our objections.”” A motion to report the bill favorably was made and unanimously go, ety “Gentiemen,”” said Gen. Noble, with a tinge of sarcasm, “I thank you for having Matened to me, and I can only say that the People’s Railway Co. is in the hands of a receiver, under the direction of Judge Withrow’s court, and we shall probably apply to that court for a restraining order.’’ It was lost on the committee. Chairman Helms pulled the members together, put the question at once, and the bill was ap- proved without a dissenting vote. When the House met, the Dill was re- ported favorably and passed, not a single vote being cast in the negative. Councilmen Ives, Wiggins and Brink- meyer, constitating the Ratlroad Commit- tee of the Council, listened to speeches against and for the North and Bouth bill, Friday evening. The speeches favoring the measure were made by representatives of Gratiot, Lindenwood and arlan, who are now one to two miles remote from street ear facilities. They were H. W. Fay, presi- dent, and J. P. Hof, secretary of the South- ern Improvement Association. They said Scullin had demanded a bonus to extend his tracks in their direction, and they were not able to pay it. If the North and South people would build into their section they avor the road: otherwise not. Attorney Overall and Promoter Blessing were inside the Council chamber, the attor- ney occupying Mr. Utthoff’s desk and Mr. Blessing standing at the end of the re- orters’ tables. Neither of them offered o address the comm'tttee. Silas B. Jones, on behalf of A. D. Brown that portion of the bill which provided for laying a track on St. Charles street, from Eleventh and Tweifth. He said it would amount that block, through to Washington avenue where the business houses had been erected with a special view of using St. Charlies street for Ae~ ap and shipping goods. The street is only feet wide, and a car track would destroy it. He also pleaded that Mr. Brown had just been put to an expense of $20,000 by the ordinance condemn- ing Twelfth street, and compelled to leave $100,000 worth of land in the street, and he thought he should have some consideration in his enterprise of erecting the greatest stee] building in the city.

Afar in the wilds of Australia, on the Tuesday evening preceding the full moon, Bushmen’s Lodge No. 1 had mét to initiate a candidate into the ancient and solemn mysteries of the order. The sepulchral voice of the Grand Boomeranga- ta was heard: “Bring in the goat!”’ There was a pro‘onged pause, then a shuffling noise, and a hollow voice replied: “Tt is done!” “It is-well. Fasten the candidate upon the back of the goat!” “Tt is done! it well. Explode a firecracker under the goat!” . It was done, With a snort of terror the mad- dened animal, with its blindfolded victim tied to its back, sprang through a window and disap- — in the forest, and neither was ever seen again. Partly owing to the hurry of the moment, and partly to the fact that there wasn’: a goat within a hundred miles, the brethren had strapped the candidate to the back of a kangarno. BARAT AHS CHARITY "Yes," remarked Mrs. Henrotin, “the family uext door are piteously poor; their ill-luck is something frightful.” “And do you assist them?” inquired the min- ister. “Oh, yes. When their water pipes froze up dur- ing the recent cold snap, I told them to come in and get all the water they wanted.” 4 : Pe, i 4 SPRING GARDEN PLANTING The Amazing Experience of a Crooked Helmet and a Sleepy Guard. ’ ld Numerous experiments on the part of the editor show that the best way to prepare the garden is to pay the rent in advance. We have often been compelled to abandon our garden during a spell of rainy days because we falled to observe that simple cau- tion. Pickles should.be planted in late February. Do not plant, bowever, so late as the 29th oftener than once every four years. A few trials will convince you of the truth of these remarks. Hares, of course, are planted in March. Select the best variety of mad hares, and plant deep in your old last winter oyeter Your hares w!!] be ripe enough in May to be made up into Welsh rarebite. Do not plant your overcoat earlier than May if possibie. Ours is un- avoidabiy planted now for $8.50; and our mackintosh, out of season as it is, produces chilis.

I got him of Rippem & Snort after their failure up in Malheur County. It was a most distressing and, I might say, embarrassing circumstance that brought it about. The firm had established a worthy industrial enterprise in the shape of a beef-canning and boneless- ham factory, and were doing a rushing business; but success induced greedi- ness, and when cattle were not to be had they chucked in a horse for luck. The horse habit grew on them, and they were soon running at a 2.40 gait on the new material. Finally the thing got noised abroad, and the Pure Food Commission came down to look into the matter. Snort was indignant and gave them the horse laugh. “ ‘Your charges are an insult—an outrage!’ he blustered. ‘Our factory is the pride oi the State, and is regarded as such. From a modest beginning we have, in one year, reached a capacity of forty head of hor—— cattle per day; and, by thunder, I ought to fire the whole outfit of yuu!’ “When he had gooled down a little he told them to inspect the plant, which was then running at full blast, with a charge of good horses in its bowels. It was a big bluff, and might have worked, but the Commissioners thought they ought to do something to earn their fees and began to nose about the plant. “The latest improved machinery was employed, and while a live animal was driven in at ome door, at the other came out the canned goods, all labelled and ready for market. It was the presence of the Commissioners, I guess, that excited the engineer, for he got rattled, touched the reverse lever, and the whole process was reversed. trot out of that plant—dark horses, cray horses and yellow horses—and the poor, crazed engineer, seeing what he had done, fled to the woods, chatter- ing as he went. “It was a horse on Rippem & Snort, and gave the whole snap away. When Snort saw it he laid down his hand and owned up. That ruined the firm, and when the assets were sold I bought one of the horses as a curiosity. I think he must have got mixed up with the other horses tn the process of rebuilding, for you will observe that he has one white ear and one dark one, while no two of his hoofs are of the same size, and his gait is a cross between a pace, a trot and a racking gallop. “No, he’s not for sale.

A fortress is not, as might be suppposed, a female fort. Any military authority will corroborate this. As yet nothing has been done to the man who claimed to hold the rank of left-tenant because he gave up his house and went to boarding. Of course. the blue and the gray will make it hot for the foreign foe, but all the veterans of the late war are just a little gray. While women are always patriotic and the younger ones, in particular, very partial to bare arms, they cannot enlist, but while “A woman can ne'er be a warrior, The battle-field isn’t her place; — But ladies who cannot face powder Will oftentimes powder the face.” HON SCRIPTIT.

The war correspondent of the Aroma called at the Waldorf-Astoria last night, where the Wad- burner Guards are becoming inured to the hard- ships of a soldier’s life. Capt. Doem, the gallant leader of this brave band (which is being fitted out at the expense of A. Young Wadburner), in- formed the Aroma’s W2! espondent that he and his men were pr’ ‘ the fray. “We are simply waiting ‘erwes” ‘aid Capt. Doem; “after we receive those and our fur- lined overcoats, then let Mr. Wadburner bring | on the Spanish Army.” * Capt. Doem said _ the « words with no boastful- ¢ ness, but there was a ring of exultation in his voice. THE WADBURNBR GUARDS. EXTRA! CONGRESS RECOGNIZES THE AROMA! EDITORIALS. SHAKB, MANCHESTER, SHAKE! We herewith extend our editorial to William Angus Drago, the young Duke of Manchester, who comes here on a business trip to get a rich wife. If W. A. D. Manchester will drop into the Aroma office upon his arrival he can have the pleasure of meeting A. Young Wad- burner, the most won- derful man of his time. We shall strive to make him feel at home if this paper has to charter every concert hall with- in ten miles of Hunter's Point. Upon the subse- quent morn he will find that his ducal coronet won't fit him unless he lets out a few of the tucks. We also wish to say that if Bill Man- chester is sued for either promise we will stand by him personally and editorially, and A. Young Wadburner will go his bond or buy him anything he wants.

SRS TO LORD BLES'HUGH, IN REPLY WHICH HE TRACES SEVERAL MORE NOTED AMERICAN FAMILIES.

Yours truly, @ Ge change. Yours Ue UFUS KROKER. Kroker family is indeed an old one—from # of the Pharaohs there have been Krokers, every community to this day many of the titizens are Krokers. I am glad to be able ice things regarding Mr. Kroker’s family r the ten pounds came to hand just right, u know. pt it with feelings of satisfaction and with nation to say, “Mr. Kroker, where did you ‘gas some inquiring Americans might.

All ired engage in combat with them lost their “Kroked,”’ to use the old Norman phrase ‘ose from this condition of affairs. weapon selected by these ancestors of my ondent’s family was sometimes a mace and w times a club. To this day the Kroker deemed a very effective weapon and “ma- s also retained out of courtesy for the good ye of the good old days. The Krokers have »,oooooo0o0ooocoo0o0ocseososo been the companions of princes, also kings, queens anl knaves. LORD BLES’ HUGH. Lord Biles’ Hugh, Esq.: Please give me al) the in- formation you can regarding the James family. LI JAMES (his X mark). The James family must indeed be an old one, and must be prehistoric, as I can’t find a word about it anywhere in English history. However, the family in the States have carved out a name for themselves. Representatives of this family reigned in Missouri years ago and many promi- nent people paid tribute to them. So great was the respect in which this branch of the family was held that frequently railway trains would be held and the passengers would alight and stand in line until the Jameses rode by, each holding up his hands as a mark of friendship. Great good was accomplished by the Jameses, who did early missionary work among the natives of the Ozarks, and not only was the moral stand- ard elevated, but business in every way was stimu- lated. Many financial institutions were opened, and the trade in powder and small arnis grew rap- idjy. Some of the descendants of this branch of the house went to Kansas and engaged in the real estate business, where the traits they had in- herited served them in good stead. LORD BLES’ HUGH. Lord Bles’ Hugh: I inclose 75 cents, please tell me all about the Sage family tree. R. 8. Although the “three bob” inclosed rather discon- certed me, don’t you know, I shall try to conceal my chagrin and tell all I cam coucerning the Sage tree family—or rather the Sage family tree. I am so upset by the paucity of the inclosure that I hardly know how to refer to this blooming tree of the Sage family, but here goes: THE SAGE FAMILY.—From the time of fF.u- tareh there have been Sages—men wise enough to take care of the main chance. None was ever known to feed dimes to the ostriches at the Zoo, and from the time of Marcus Aurelius to “act sagely”’ has meant to act economically as regards one’s financial capital. (P. 8S.—This is good enough for “three bob,” don’t you know.) LORD BLES’ HUGH. M000000000000000000000 Gere AR HASTY MAN 9 eeOK% Yeo n’t given to criticisin’ my neighbors, as a 1 rule,” began Miss Philenda Lanks, who vending the afternoon at Mrs. Judge Tub- “and I don’t believe in pickin’ flaws in olks’s conduct, but I must say I think Dea- wkersmith is jest a little mite too hasty for r of the church. But, of course, you won’t what I’ve said?” course not,” replied the other lady. “But vas the Deacam been doin-?”’ m’t know’s I ought to mention it, for mebby make it look worse than ft really was, but t the evenin’ there, night before last, and + spell the Deacon took the pitcher—you that tall one with blue flowers on it that ckersmith got at Pettijohn’s auction four wo come April, and paid 49 cents for it, o the fact that, settin’ considerable store ‘nm’ it *-* ~~* expectin’ to be there herself, wy Ann Pine to bid it in for her, and kinder anxious for fear Lucy Ann at, she went over herself and got there ae to see the pitcher put up and hear an biddin’ on it, and not seein’ Lucy Ann re aroind she went to biddin” against Jabez and Jabez bid against her, and so on, till it was run clear up to 49 cents and anocked down to her, and then she found out that Lucy Ann had asked Jabez to bid for her without tellin’ him that she was biddin’ for somebody else, and I tell you Miz Hockersmith felt pretty small when she found out how it was, and—but, good land, how I do run on! Let me see! Where was I? Oh, yes! “Well, the Deacon started to go down cellar af- ter a pitcher of cider—for our stomachs’ sake, you understand—and right at the top he stepped on the cat and tumbled headlong down the stone stairs clear to the bottom, and it seemed like he hit every stone in the stairway goin’ down with his head or some other corner of his body, and landed in a real painful lookin’ heap at the bot- tom, and lay there groanin’, and of course Miz Hockersmith was a good deal flustered and hol- lered down the cellar stairs: “*Oh, Aaron! Did you break the pitcher?’ ““No! he roared, springin’ up as nimble as a boy. ‘No, I didn’t, but, by gosh, I will!’ “That’s jest what he said—‘by gosh!’—for I heard him! And then he swung the pitcher over his head and smashed it into « thousand pieces on the lower stair. Of course the fall vexed him considerable, but I do think he was a tittle mite too hasty. He ought to have stopped and counted one hundred before he answered, anyhow.” —. = ee > =e ee _-as wr Sa ‘ ~ss ; Ss SS “ y GULLY CELEBRATES ‘APR brooks Day.
