Not a regiment is yet prepared to go, and not one of them will go until it is prepared. The men have no suits yet for the tropical climate. They will have to be furnished. There are nearly enough on hand in the Quartermaster’s De- partment, but other things may be wanted. Many more abdominal bandages are needed.

The young lady didn't appear, but was represented by John Geekle, who works at the next desk to Maj. Smith. The Recorder's clerks got wind of the Major's new role almost as soon as he reached the license office, and they flocked around him with boisterous congratula- tions.

Recruiting Sergeant Coburn wants to break his record by enlisting 600 men during May, and as he lacks only 29 to date, and will get them easily in two days, he will succeed. A good deal of misunderstanding exists as to how the 75,000 additional men called for by the President are to be recruited and many young men anxious to get in under this call have applied to the regular army recruiting stations, causing much an- noying explanation to the officers in charge. None of the regular army recruiting sta- tions have anything to do with enlisting men under this call. They will be enlisted in much the same manner as the lot of volunteers were taken in, Col. G. C. Smyth, Deputy Quartermaster, has a large amount of money at his com- mand for the gg prone of equipment for troops. In the St. Louis po peng there are $2,000,000, one-fourth of which belongs to the fund for national defense. In New York there are $600,000 subject to his call.

The location is superb, in all directions. That part of the city sur- rounding it is old, aristocratic and popu- lous. Residents feel that the continued ex- istence of the ruins is a disgrace to the city and an injury to their section. They are constantly reminded every time they step from their door of the terrible calamity that befell the city, that ruined so many years ago. ruins they could forget, in a measure, the calamity that cost them so much. is almost,;as pretty as ever. The homes that were destroyed have been rebuilt. All traces of the devastation wrought by the tornado are obliterated, and in no other part of the city have the authorities per- mitted their property to go to ruin.

Mayor Ziegennein deplores the fact that this state of affairs exists, but he says that up to the present time the city authagrities have been unable to correct the evil. time is near at hand, the Mayor thinks, for the beginning of a change. “The wreck would have been cleared away long before this,’’ he said, ‘“‘if it could have been done without great loss to the city. It is unsightly, I know, and the good peopie of South St. Louis deserve to have it removed and a handsome. structure put there in its stead. And that is just what we | are working for. “Tt was estimated that It would cost the city $5000 to have a wrecking company clear away the property. It would not only be that much money thrown away, but much valuable material lost. There are more than a million bricks in those old walls.

Bradley has sent out no- tices to the alumni of Washington Uni- versity calling a meeting of the graduates of that institution at 8 o’clock Monday night in the university chapel to organize a company of volunteers. All the graduates have had the benefit of thorough drilling in their school days and know considerable of military tactics, giving them a large advantage over the average volunteer. It is understood that a limited number from the outside will be accepted to make up the necessary number if there should not be enough alumni offerings. tenmamned> ap 7 | : i . oa % / A * > eet reePawc wate eG Se te Oy Ay 3 4 ; E - + ‘ . ‘ ° pe i . . ; . ; , . meso arp 7 Oe 2. e > er meet ~ . .

HAD DETERMINED TO LET HIM- SELF DIE FROM ABSENCE OF FOOD. FAMILY TROUBLES LED HIM TO SELF-DESTRUCTION. Kern Was Reputed to Have a Compe- tency, but Owing to Domestic Difficulties Life Had No Attractions, The most remarkable case of self-inflicted death that ever came under the observation of St. Louis physicians is that of Anton Kern, who died Friday at his home in Ball- win, St. Louls County. The man was more than 78 years old, and had been a resident of St. Louls County over half a century. | Kern literally starved himself to death. There were family troubles, he told his phy- sician, and life no longer had any attrac- tions for him. He did not want to commit suicide in the ordinary sense of the word, and ne thought by simply refraining froin taking food nature would revolt and he would die a natural death and be absolved When pangs of hunger came and the stom- ach became sick and faint, and when the pain was like that of a ravenous beast gnawing at his vitals, the old man would not consent to taste food. He was deter- mined to die by starvation, and he re- pressed every effort to force food upon him. Dr. Maise, the family physician, could do nothing for htm. Kern simply would not do that which the doctor prescribed. He wanted to die and he was determined to starve himself to death. Dr. Thompson of the etaff of City Hos- qe physicians was the guest of Dr. aise and went with him to see his strange patient. The old man was weak and emaciated, but steadfastly refused to take food. Dr. Thompson ha experience with pris- oners from the Workhouse who re food for various reasons, and he suggested that food be forced upon the patient, but Kern protested and the relatives also ob- jected to force, Dr. Thompson says. ‘We frequently have to force food down persons,” said Dr. Thompson, “and it fs not so difficult a matter. When a stomach pump ia forced down a man’s throat sufficient liquid food can be administered to sustain life a long time. Then the operation is so nauseating that the potas will ordinarily take rood willingly to escape the forcing operation. Even if the patient rebels and bites the rubber tube there is another way of introducing food. The tube can be in- serted through the nostrils, and sufficient food administered to sustain life. “TIT never knew any sane person to at- tempt suicide by starvation before. De- mented persons have n known to try it, but it is not once In a thousand times they succeed. Kern, in “= opinion, was not insane. There were family troubles, as I ed it.” Kern was born in Germany. He leaves a wife and several grown children. He for- morty kept a saloon and grocery at Ball- win. DESTRUCTION AT DALLAS, Nearly Half a Million of Property Lost in a Fire, DALLAS, Tex., May 2.—Nearly $400,000 worth of business property was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. At least one life was lost and four persons injured. The fire started in a vacant storeroom on the north side of Elm street, Nos. 251 and 253. From there it swept rapidly north- ward and westward, until it has eaten a hole in the block 176 feet wide by 200 feet deep, and consumed, approximately, all the contents of the buildings destroyed. ag aria wag in the best business district of allas.

Word comes from Washington that no army or navy move- ment will be attempted until the Cape Verde fleet is dis- pesed of. According to the best available information the Spanish fleet is bottled up in Santiago harbor, where it must stay or risk destruction at the hands of Commodore Schley. It is at least penned up so that it can do no harm to either the troops or warships on the north side of Cuba. To a layman it would appear that the quickest way to dis- pose of Cervera’s fleet would be to attack Havana by land and sea. Cervera must then come out to the rescue of Ha- vane or suffer the humiliating admission that he is afraid to come out and that his mission to Cuba was a mere piece of fruitless trickery. | It seems folly to hold our forces idle while a small part of them scheme to destroy Cervera in his pen. It strengthens the impression that the jobbers and contractors are running the War. It is a sutler’s way of making war. = = = fe i We do not want an increase of Decoration Day ceremonies. Bo let us make the Spanish war a short one. ~~ Fr AN OBJECT LESSON IN NATIONAL UNITY. Whatever may be thought of the propriety or expediency of the boycott on French goods, it seems to be gathering ngth and certainly indicates a unanimous sentiment of patriotism, Right or wrong, Americans are for America. The object lesson will not be lost on France and other European nations. In every one of those countries, save and, faction is at work to disturb and paralyze govern- mental action. Republicanism, socialism, anarchism are act- ive influences in all of them, and they will have to be reck- oned with when war cemes. It is quite possible the most dangerous enemies of the governments of Europe (rs right at home. Russia, France and Germany, to say nothing of Italy, will think twice before they provoke a war with a united nation in which the whole population will fove as one man. Tt is more trouble to vote than to sign a protest; but if the St. Louis voter does not desire an extra expenditure of $20,000,- 000 more under the spoils system he must certainly expect to vote. "= = i i 4 QUESTION OF PROFIT AND LOSS: If Schley smashes the Spanish fleet immediately we lose the chance of capturing ships worth $15,000,000, but it would probably bring the war to an end, Suppose he blockades the Spanish and at the end of a month compels their surrender. It will have cost us, at the present rate of expenditure, $30,000,000, and the fleet will bd ours; net loss in money, $15,000,000. But many things may happen in 80 days. Foreign interven- tion and other costly contingencies may arise, to prolong the war and add to its uncertainties, Go is it not best to smash the fleet at once and bring the @ony to an end? Financially and morally the smashing policy seems most economical _-_ = —— a Bteve Hikins wants us to take the Philippines, Porto Rico, - ¥ewali and also a coaling station in the Mediterranean.

With annual sessions, with the power of annulling the Mayor’s veto, with a membership easily influenced by corrupt private in- torests, the Municipal Assembly can become a public enemy in American cities unless the citizens are alert and active in the guarding of their rights. A clean sweep-out of the present Municipal Assembly of St. Louis would be better for the city than an increase of power. S = 9 i The Post-Dispatch is the only St. Louis newspaper which has submitted all of the books and Papers bearing on the subject of circulation to a committee of disinterested, prom- inent citizens and expert accountants. Its announced circula- tion is not a matter of testimony from within the office. It is attested by reliable, disinterested witnesses, who took a month for the examination of the books and papers. The re- sult of this examination showed an average circulation in April for the Daily Post-Dispatch of 119,700 and for the Sun- day Post-Dispatch of 123,904. For the first four months of this year the average circulation, daily and Sunday, of the Post-Dispatch was 104,866—two-thirds of which, according to the report of the committee, were distributed within the city and suburbs of St, Louis, a i i THE WATERWORKS AMENDMENT. Among the charter amendments to be voted on July 12 is one so worded as to give the impression that it forbids the *ale or lease of the Waterworks, but in reality providing the conditions upon which the works may be sold or leased, The conditions are severe, requiring the unanimous consent of the Board of Public Improvements, the Municipal Assein- bly, the approval of the Mayor and the consent of five-sixths of the voters at a special election. But why should any conditions for the sale or lease of the Waterworks be provided in the amendments? The Water- works are thoroughly guarded by the present charter, in which no provision is made for their disposal in any manner. Why should an amendment, under pretense of guarding the Waterworks, but in reality providing terms for their sale or lease, be submitted to the voters? The Waterworks constitute the best investment St. Louis ever made. They give the people cheap water and pay all expenses and betterments. Is there a job lurking behind this apparently innocent amendment? = = — ‘In the daily newspaper man lives the whole world’s life throb by throb,” said Rev. R. A.

The work of the team Tuesday was very leasing to the coach as well as to Capt. Bteinwender. -The entire team, with the exception of Gamble, is in fine condition. Gamble injured his finger in the game with the alumni on last Saturday, Stockton is improving steadily. It will be a great surprise if he does not fool some of the men on the university team.

M. Von Kadich, who. has suddeniy come into prominence in the exclusive German circles of North &Bt. Louis. Dr. Von Kadich is a fine-appearing Ger- man, of military bearing and cultivated and refined manners. He ‘s about 35 years old and has traveled much. He its intelli- gent, observing and an excellent converea- tionalist. He is of medium height, straigh: @s an arrow, has a brown mustache, long, Wavy brown hair and biaci:, piercing eyes. ' Von Kadich’s cards are handsomely en- graved, and the prefix “Dr.” appears there- on, Attorney Charles Fensky proposes to find out whether he has a right to use the prefix, Saturday morning the lawyer ap- plied for a warrant against Vor Kadich, averring that he was not a registered phy- sician, entitled to practice medicine in Mis- s60ur), Col. Dick 94 wane the Assistant Prosecuting Atiorney, listene d to Mr. Fens- ky’s case, and then told him to return with witnesses and the warrant would be issued. Mr. Femsky is attorney for Adolph Geh, Who conducts a millinery and notion store @t 13825 North Market «treet. Mr. Geh has @ grievance against Dr. Von Kadich and will be one of the witnesses. Von Kadich came to St. Louls last Feb- Tuary. He went to the North St. Louis Turnverein, where he delivered a lecture. He met Geh there. Geh was much im- pressed with the distinguished foreigner and introduced him to his wife. Geh and his wife, Dinah, had been married 13 years and their married life had been unusually happy. Four bright children had blessed the union and no cloud had marred the domestic relations of the Geh home. Now it is differcnt., ife and children are gone. The wife has opened a rival millinery storé nearby, and has made him defendant in a divorce guit. And Get attributes it ail to Von Kadich, According to Geh’s story, the suave for- eigner’ Was ay ‘parently much taken with Geh and his wife, when they first met. He asked permission to call, They were de- lighted to entertain him, The first evening Was passed so pleasanily that he asked per- mission to call again. The answer from both Mr. and Mrs. Geh was that he was more than welcome. He came again, and again. The good impression aas strengthene After several visits Mr. Geh says the doc- tor wanted to prescribe for Mrs. Geh. His kind offices were accepted. Then his visits hecame more frequent. .He also stayed longer. Twice each day Von Kadich called. His hours at the Geh home were at 10 o'clock in the forenoon and at 6 p. m. He stayed several hours on each visit. Mrs. Geh thought the doctor the most charming tg she had ever met. however, began to be jealous. He seh it unnecessary for the doctor to call so often and stay so long. Especially in view of the fact that ‘Mrs. Geh’s health was not bad. hen, he says, the doctor = wp in the parlor "till late nearly every night, J t, laughing and talking with Mrs. Geh. h finally became convinced there was something more in Von Kadich’s visits than friendship. It was about May 1 that Geh came to this conclusion. He acted goug f That night he told Mrs. Geh that Von Kadich’'s oe must cease, Mrs. Geh had not much oO say. She, too, acted. Next day, while her husband was in his store, she ~ acked up some of the furniture and took her four children and left the home that had been hers for 13 vears, She applied for a divorce, alleging cruelty and other things. Then she opened a rival store on ee street, near that of her hus- an Dr. Von Kodich boards at Jefferson ave- nue and University street. He {s said to bea correspondent for several Berlin papers.

In a vigorous protest which the company filed at the Mayor’s office Saturday through F. W. Mott, a director, it sets forth that the Southern Electric Railway -Co,. is furnishing electricity for 600 incan- descent lights at Manion’s Park Theater, at the terminus of the line, opposite Klaus- mann'’s brewery. It is claimed the electricity is fed to the lamps over the trolley and is of such high voltage as to be a menace to lige. The company, it is claimed, has no au- thority under its franchise to furnish light to consumers, but a permit to supply the garden was granted by the Mayor. Mayor Ziegenhein directed Supervisor of City Lighting O'Reilly to make an investi- ' gation as to the voltage. The Southern Electric Railway Co. is said to own a controlling interest in the | garden and it is probable it will claim it has a right to furnish the light. Mr. Mott would like to know why, if there is any force in the claim, a permi:. wag neces- It is saic permits have also been issued tc other electric railway companies, who are interested in suburban gardens, to fur- nish: electricity for lighting.

REFUSED TO BE BRIBED AS A PUBLIC OFFICER. SAD STORY OF A ONCE PROMI- NENT CITIZEN’S PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LIFE. BLIND, HELPLESS AND ABANDONED BY HIS SON. In Four Years Death Swept Away Twelve Children and His Wife —By an Accident He Lost His Sight. ‘While a member of the City Council, in 1867, I was offered $3000 to vote for a fran- chise grant to the Cass Avenue Railway Co. Had I accepted it I would not now be an inmate of this pauper institution.” This is the language of James Ashworth, once a prominent citizen of the community and member of the City Council, whose {stamped my foot on the Assembly I was subjected to tg er ges A tellow member approached and ed me to go in with him on a certain deal. For reply 1 knocked him down. “The first measure I advocated wae the establishment of a boiler inspector office. The scheme met with instant fayor and soon become a law. ‘T introduced several bills on behalf of the laboring men and had the satisfaction of secing them enacted into laws. : “It is a hard thing for a Councilman to be honest. You never know you are bribed until the money is in your pocket. The buying up of votes ts sharp trickery and requires the genius of a scholarly man. ‘Mour different people asked me to help out the promoters of the Cass Avenue Rali- way Co. on their bill They said I could have 3. shares of stock in the new enter- prise, or $3000 cold cash, if I wanted it. I fioor and told those men be if I would sell my soul for a piece of their money, I emphatically declined their proposition, although I needed the money badly, It would have kept me out of here. “There was such vicious corruption appar- ent that I had no desire to remain in pub- lic life longer, so I retired at the expiration of my first term. “In 1872 I met with an accident at the refinery that caused me to lose my eyesight. A heavy iron machine broke and a small bolt struck me over the right eye, almost knocking it out. I quit work and did little for the two following years. I had a large family, just 13 members, which may ac- coynt for my being so unlucky. But we were all so happy until the first one died. Then grief visited us regularly. In four years’ time I had buried six of our loved ones. The older boys couldn’t find much work, and I opened a dry goods store be- tween Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, on Franklin avenue, to keep the wolf from the door. I couldn’t work as a machinist since my sight was growing dimmer each day, I paid out my scanty savings in doctors’ bills, and before I knew it I was penniless. ‘My wife died in 1881 and two boys and a married daughter followed soon after. You cannot imagine how badly I felt as one after another the family disappeared. Even now I often wish that death might come to relieve me of the terrible anguish of it, Along about 1883 I took up my residence with one of the girls, she who married George King, inventor of the patent bur- glar-proof safe alarms. Annie was always kind to me. Every night she would come to my pillow with the eye salve and rub it gently around the lids.

ITS FINAL DISCOVERY WAS ACCIDENTAL. PAINS IN HIS LUNGS AND HEART. FELL ON THE STREET AND CARRIED HOME. Physicians Said It Was Spinal Trouble, but a Surgeon’ Un- earthed the Needle in Dan- iels’ Right Leg. gtaver and newspaper artist, lived with a needle an inch and a half long in his body. At frequent intervals during that period he was troubled with excessive pains in the region of the chest and heart, without being able to trace their origin. Physicians were consulted, but none ever made a cor- rect diagnosis. niels never dreamed that a tiny bar of sharp pointed steel, coursing through his blood, was the cause of his many ailments. He is the happiest and most astonished man in 8t. uis to-day, the presence of the needle having been accidentally dis- covered. About three months ago Daniels felt pains in his ‘right leg. He could scarcely walk. Shortly afterwards he fell down on the street and was carried home. It was thought he had sustained a fracture of the leg and surgeons were accordin ly d. Their investigation revealed Daniels complained of excrutiat- pains, yet there seemed no remedies to viate them. An eminent neurologist was finally called. He pronounced the case singular, but said the patient probably had neuralg'a of the epine. Treatment for this ailment failed to relieve the sufferer. Occasionally the pain ceased ~~ uae but Daniels was still un- able to walk. Last Wednesday ‘he noticed a large swell- ing near the calf of his leg, and he sent for his family physician, Dr. Robert O'Reilly. The doctor made a thorough examination, and after Daniels had strongly insisted he decided to perform an operation. The lance was applied, and when the skin was opened a black object appeared. It was a needle. Mr. Daniels is 31 years old and lives with his wife and family at 2704 Eads avenue. He works for the Missouri Engraving Co. The needle was perfectly black when taken out. Mr. Daniels says he will use it as a tie-pin. NOTABLE CUTS IN BOYS’ CLOTH- ING.
