COLUMBIA, Mo., July 21.—Becauae pretty Cora Havens is bashful two persons, the girl's lover and her mother, died in this county by their own hands. The last tragedy was a seque! to the first. It occurred early this morning, when Mrs. J. P. Havens, wife of a Boone County farm- er, who lives at Hallisville, laid in a mud puddie near her home, and, holding her head under the water, not two feet deep, Stranglied to death. The other sucide, which was responsible | _ him; at any rate, she accepted his proposal of marriage. The day wae set and prepare- tions for the happy event were completed. But Miss Havens was bashful. In the pres- ence of men she was always timid and afraid, she pondered on her approaching marriage, and the wedding began to appear to her more in the light of an ordeal than a pleasure. False modesty in view of the anticipated honeymoon began to destroy her resolution. She wavered between love and dread, and finally, on the very day set for the wedding, gave way to modesty and for her death, occurred July 6, when C.

An extraordinary feature of the tragedy Waa the fact that he drew a diagram of the grave in which he wished to be buried He seemed to give the disposal of his body Much thought and left directions to his friends, calling them by name, as to the exact manner in which he wished to he laid away. The notes were written with a pen- cll on small scraps of paper. Several were Gated July 5; ethers bore no date. Here they are, just as he wrote them, with the spelling preserved: i Cora Havens—Oh Dear: crack of the smoke house, in the crib one of them you sold Mose, no more. phine as a means of ending his life. No one was surprised at his death, but the sequel came from such an unexpected source as to cause consternation in the quiet neigh- borhood of the former tragedy. Mrs. J. P. Havens, mother of the girl whose modesty caused the suicide, was an amiable, kind-hearted woman of such a eympathetic nature that the death of her daughter’s lover, whom she had always liked and favored, crazed her mind with grief and pity. Her despair grew darker and more hopeless with every passing hour.

She wants nobody to suppose that she will Stop playing the piano entirely between 5 and 6 a. m. daily. If the neighbors are not satisfied with the muzzle she has put on the sonorous tones of her piano, “‘they can lump it,”’ so far as she is concerned. That is her ultimatum. She delivered it to a porter Thursday morning. “I want it distinctly understood,” she said, her brown eyes fiashing and her red lips curling scornfully, “that I intend to prac- tice on my piano be tween 5 and 6 a. m. every day, law or no law, neighbors or no neigh- bors. It is my right, and I won't be perse- cuted into surrendering a right. So there!” she concluded in true w&Sman fashion. Already victory has perched upon Miss Armour’'s banners. She says Dr. Jerome K.

DEPUTY WARD ADMITS AN OR. GANIZED AN OF THEFT THOUGHT OUT BY POPP. DETECTIVES SUSPECT EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS. Bold Work of the Chicago Ex-Convict Discovered by Accident, but Many Unexpected Develop- ments Are Following. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, July 21.—Frank Popp its a ge- nius. It takes nerve to steal; more nerve to steal by wholesale; superlative nerve to drive through the gate of a penitentiary. load up a wagon with pelf from the big. gun-guarded workships and drive away again. This was what Frank Popp did. And he did it under the further disad- vantage of being known. Three months previous to his champion bit of rascality Popp had been released from the State prison at Joliet, where he had been con- fined for burglary. Popp was arested in a house in Jefferson, a suburb of Chicago, and his booty from the penitentiary was found on the same premises. The facts regarding his audacious theft did not come to light fully until at his preliminary hearing yesterday. He even stole the team and wagon em- ployed in his nefarious work. Popp was arrested just as he was etart- ing on a second 4-mile drive to Jollet. He is ingenious as well as daring. So far as the thief-watchers in the State’s prison are con- cerned he might have carried off one of the buildings before long. ¢ The Chicago police captured Popp and fin- ally pleced together the facts of his record- breaking robbery. They did it by luck more than by management or any noteworthy sagaolty. Popp was first arrested on general prin- ciples. Taken to the police station the buggy and team were at once recognized by printed description as stolen property. Then the sleuths were called In and assigned to the- 'orize as to what Popp meant to do and had he was awakened by her plano, A half- | » Introduced aa | t» | the | been doing with such a conveyance. The others implicated in Popp'’s crime were Deputy Warden Luke, two guards whose names have not been made public, and Convicts Joseph Dreill, James Johnson and George White, between whom and Popp there long existed a bond of friendship and chains. When the arrests were made Popp con- fessed. Then Luke confessed. All the details of how Popp secured his first wagon load of penitentiary furniture from the warehouse of the prison con- tractor, the Joliet Rattan and Reed Co., have not yet been made public, but it is eupposed that the three convicts on the in- side who were employed in the warehouse fixed the bolts and bars as they should be fixed for a quick, smooth bit of work by Mr. Popp and the deputy warden and the guard conveniently shut their eyes when Mr. Popp drove up. But all ths doesn't detract from the glory of Popp. The deputy warden is eager to admit that Popp’s was the master mind; that it was Popp who led the guard and h.mself from the noble paths of rectitude and tempted the poor striped men inside from intend: d reformation. It was Popp who planned and Popp who executed; Popp who secured the needed horseflesh; Popp who made the long drive; Popp who took all the chances Inside the prison «walls, where the others took none; Popp who lioaded the booty unassisted: Popp who eached it; Popp who dd everything, ex- cept slp a bok and shut eyes, and who, though he failed to dispose of the stolen property, figured out avd con-ummated the boldest robbery ever recorded in I1}.inois, failing only as a Napoleon falled. in coping with fate backed up by a charge of gen- eral priaciples, Popp, too, the deputy warden confesses, prompte } him even to the larceny of tallow. te property of the Sta‘e of Illinois, val- iin all at $400 though just what part PP took in disposition of the tallow 1s ated, The detectives have an unconcealed ad- miration for Popp. They think him a still greater man in his touching way than has been told. They are working on the theory that he has influenced dens and guards, probaby others by sev- eral, and that tallow valued in all at $40) and rattan furniture are a very small part of the loss of the State owirg to the fertile mind of Mr. Popp. AN OLD BANK FAILS.

It is intended that she shall accompany the Porto Rico expedition, and ‘preparations will be hurried in transforming her into a hospital ship and transport for wounded soldiers. The Missour!l will accommodate about 600 men. The vessel was to be provided with an ice plant and a carbonating plant. If there is not enough time to put in the ice plant she will carry a supply of ice on board. Capt. A. M. Stark has been de- tailed as executive officer, and Dr. Brown has been“detached from the Olivette for service on board the Missouri. Surgeon E. M. Parker will also be on the staff. There will be 20 men in the hospital corps, 10 con- tract nurses and 4 stewards. The present captain and crew will ac- company the vessel. The Missouri will have two launches, an electric plant and 200 electric tlans. Maj. Arthur expects to have the vessel in readiness in- side of two weeks from the day she arrives in this port.

WASHINGTON, July 21.—The President expects United States troops to land at Porto Rico Saturday or Sunday. It is believed the landing will be made on the south coast and the army moved overland, 40 miles, to San Juan. The fleet will blockade San Juan, but will not bombard until the army is in position to attack the Spanish intrenchments. Gen. Miles will make good use of his artillery and try to avoid the useless sacrifice of lives in storming the Spanish work. No official reports were obtainable this morning at the War Department, as to the yellow fever among the tmoops at Santiago. The officials are resting easy, how- ever, under the assurances conveyed by Dr. Greenleaf that the disease is mild in type. Instructions have been sent to Gen. Shafter to have Brigadier-General Duf- field sent nogth. WASHINGTON, July 21.—President McKinley is thoroughly aroused over the delay which has occurred in the starting of Gen. Miles and the expedition under his tins, Tae for Porto Rico. For several days Gen. Miles and his troops have been aboard thefr trancpe Playa Del Este awaiting the naval convoy which is to be furnished by Admiral | Sampson. The troops have been sweltering in the crowded ships under the broiling , heat of a tropical sun, while Gen. Miles has been chafing under what he believes 'to be inexcusable delay and is bombarding the War Department with dispatches urging in the strongest terms that the navy be hurried in its preparations for the ‘expedition. Instructions of the most positive nature have been cabled to Admiral Sampson to supply the necessary convoys for Gen. Miles’ transports, but notwith- standing these instructions Admiral Sampson has proceeded with his preparations —o-0-—-0—-0—-0—-0--0-0---- 0-0-6 | for the expedition with a deliberation that is exasperating officials here. . The President, who has been giving the Porto Rican expedition his personal attention, finally became deeply concerned lest the part of the Porto Rican expedi- tion that has already sailed from this country should arrive at the point of rendezvous in advance of Gen. Miles and the navy. It is feared that if Gen. Wilson’s command, | which sailed from Charleston, should arrive in advance of Gen,’ Miles and the naval convoys, serious danger and possibly disastere might result, as Gen. Wilson's shipe are absolutely without protection. The distance from Charleston to Porto Rico is over 1300 miles, while frogs Playa Del Este to Porto Rico is about 700 miles. The comparative distances which Gen. Wilson and Gen. Miles have to travel to reach the point of rendezvous are rendered the more nearly equal, however, by reason of the fact that the former has more than a full day’s start. Fully appreciating these facts an@ realizing the necessity for prompt action in getting Gen. Miles and his expedition started, President McKinley this morning issued personal orders through the Secretary of the Navy to Admiral Sampson that he should proceed immediately to Porto Rico with Gen. Miles. The President's ore ders are susceptible of no misconstruction. They are imperative to a degree seldom employed except in cases of extreme emergency. They are of the sort that will brook no delay in their execution. ARMY SAILS FOR PORTO RICO. Wilson Leads the First Expedition From the United States. CHARLESTON, S. C., July 21.—With bands playing and 30,000 people cheering the first expedition to ‘ink Gen. Miles to Porte Rico got away from here at 7 | o'clock last evenimg on two transports. The expedition 1s under command of Major- | General J. H. Wilson, and will when complete consist of the Second and Third Wise consin. the Sixteenth Pennsylvania Regiment and two companies of the Sixth Illi- nois. Each of the ships carries a large quantity of supplies, and on one there are 1000 head of mules and the wagon train of Gen. Wilson's division. These men, to- gether with those of the Sixth Illinois and Sixth Massachusetts, which sailed from here last week for Santiago, constitute the First Brigade of the First Division of the First Army Corps. For two days and nights the work of loading baggage and provisions on the transports has been going forw ard under rush orders. Stevedores in the city were employed at it. They were assisted by details of men from the various regiments and the 500 negro laborers employed here by the Government and destined for works on the roads and bridges in Cuba. The scene which accompanied the departure of the vessels from their docks was one of indescribable enthusiasm. Practically the entire population of the city was in evidence. As the vessels made the stream the bands on shipboard and ashore played national airs and the thousands of people cheered. The expedition will sail directly for Porto Rico. An —— GARCIA’S SECESSION. It Is Said That He Declines to Further Co-operate With the American Army. WASHINGTON, July 21—A report from unefficial sources at Santiago says that Gen.

This was the evident in- tention when the army left the United States, but the condition of theemen now, according to the physicians and command- ing officers, is such that the entire corps should return North at once. Gen. Miles has cabled that he does not want and will not need a single man among them, and he believes that after their hard campaign they should be given a rest of at least two or three weeks. Gen. Shafter’s messages to the same ef- is re- fect have been most urgent, and the doc- tors say the men should be given a rest of at least two or three weeks. The doctors say the men should be sent into camp in the mountains of North Caro- lina for a month. Washington agrees (to this, and will do everything possible, the cable dispatches to-day say, to carry the army away from here. But there is a lack of transporte. The cavalry 4itision has been sent into the mountains at its own request to see if it can not get into shape to join Gen. Miles and if no fever develops, the men may go to San Juan de Porto Rico. The Mth Infantry is acting ‘as guards and as nurses at ‘the hospital at Juragua, and ecnore of them are needed. The colored troops are all likely to remain here to at- tend the sick and hold Santiago. yen. Bhafter has cabled to Washington that it is imperatively necessary that he should have more immunes sent to him quickly and the probability is that a corps will leave within the next ten days. All our men are now encamped on the fighting line, where ‘they have been for two weeks, except Gen. Wheeler's men, who have been sent into the hills. Gen. Wheeler is still ill, but he resists the pleas of his friends that he return to the United States. PEACE PROSPECTS ARE DIM. Spain’s Government in Fear of the Reople,Who Are Divided Into Many Factions. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. MADRID, Spain, Wednesday Night, July 20.—(Message forwarded privately across the Spanish frontier.)\—The prospects of peace have perceptibly declined, and rumors of a Cabinet crisis have increased. A Pola- vieja Cabinet fs again talked of. The Republicans fancy they chance, while the Socialists and the Fed- erals, led by Senor Margall, are for peace at any price first and revolution afterward. The Carlists are delighted to see all the other parties wrangling and the regency floundering in the midst of so many em- barrassmentse.

Premier Sagasta thought he would avoid many difficulties at home by letting the Spanish people find out about the fall of Santiago as they learned about the dis- aster at Manila—through foreign news— while the official departments at Madrid affected to know nothing. 50 when the official-confirmation of thé news came it was received with indiffer- ence Verg.ng on anaes.

CHICKAMAUGA, July 21.—Owing to a délay in Washington in completing plans for the Porto Rican expedition, delay in the of Miles or other here, Gen. Brooke has regiments are to be (7en. some cause not stated not yet started what sent out from here when they will go. (yen, tTaines’ Brigade, under orders to move, did not get out this morning. as was expected, but may go to-night to-mor- row. The three regiments are in complete readiness to move and are only awaiting the necessary order. There is a growing impression here that Gen. Brooke desires to ta his entire First Corps with him to Porto Rico. carps is well equipped, well trained and in or or This | oe every way ready for service. This corps in its entirety was ordered some time ago to prepare to go to Porto Rico, but later it was stated that only two divisions would be sent. Orders designating the regi- ments to go are eNpected hourly. Persistent petitioning and letter-writing by wives and mothers of the soldiers has had the effect of closing up three of the regimental canteens at Camp Thomas. It is said that several others are scheduled to £0 in the near future. Col. Hartsuff. the chief surgeon at the camp, is not a friend of the canteen and is doing all in his power to discourage the use by the men of alco- holic beverages, The women of the W. C. TV. U. have made an appeal to Gen. Brooke and have gained his sympathy, but he is powerless for the reason that they are provided for in the army regulations. WEYLER MAY FORM A CABINET. LONDON, July 2L—According to a special dispatch from Madrid, Senor Sa- gasta, the Premier, has again offered to resign, and has been counseled by the Queen Regent to advise with other political leaders relative to his future course. It is also reported that Gen. Polavieja’s return to Madrid is closely connected with a change in the Ministry, and that Gen. Weyler will form a Cabinet in which Gen. Polavieja will be Minister for War. This combination, it is further asserted. will support the dynasty, repeal the suspension of constitutional rights and con- tinue the war to the utmost limits.

Women at San Sebastian Look Anx- iously Out to Sea Watching for Watson’s Fleet. Se Speclal Correspondence of the Pust-Dispat ob SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, July 7.—The feeling seems to exist If the United States that any American caught alive in Spain | would be torn limb from limb. It is not so. The chivalry of the Spanish, which has been their boast for generations, is as alive |now as ever it was. One other American gir] and I have been traveling through Northern Spain this week quite without protection and have received not the slightest discourtesy or in- , convenience; nor was it necessary for us 'to conceal our nationality. Every one knew we were Americans and all were , quite willing to talk about the war. In fact the Spaniards introduced the subject in every ‘instance. All Spaniards believe that the United States is in the war for what she can make vut of it. The idea of a philanthropic mo- tive is Iincredible.to them. They have for- gotten their boast of four months ago: “We will teach the Yankee hogs a lesson and wipe them off the earth.’’ Now they ask pitifully: “‘Why does your rich, pow- erful nation bully us?’ The women look apprehensively out across the sapphire bay and ask: “Will the American fleet bombard San Sebastian?’ We assure them that we do not believe it will, but they are still restless and say: “We are onl women here. They will gain nothing but the boarding house keep- ers’ signs.”’ San Sebastian, usually full of gay Span- ish life, gathered around the court of the littl King at this season of the year, is quite empty. The shop-keepers are dis- couraged, and exchange is so high that buyers come over from the frontier French towns and carry away 80 much from the market that there is actually not enough for the poor Spaniards. Some of the better class of people realize that the end of the present regime is close aut hand and look despondingly into the future, expecting to be ruled by the ‘‘Car- lists or Republicans or devils." But most of the people cherish their indomitable faith in the valor and proweas of the Span- / .ish arms. The day after Schley’s victory at San- | tlago, the newspapers here, unaware of any battle, gleefully announced that Admiral Cervera had escaped with hig entire fleet | from the “hole where the Americans had BISSSS QUSSSSSSSSHISSSHISIssSIHSSISSssssesss .

Pollman, the sprinkling con- tractor at 1400 Bremen avenue, wil) prefer charges Friday night before the Council against a superintendent of sprinkling and @ sprinkling inspector. At the hearing which will follow Mr. Poliman believes enough will come out to prove conclusively the connection of cer- tain city officials with a combination that has worked to the detriment of St. Louis. He hopes it will result in the itmpeach- ment and removal of a certain city official, not connected with the sprinkling depart- ment. as well as the superintendent and the inspector. Mr. Pollman has Q@gainat Contractors J. KE. Sippy before Improvements, alleging that Sprinkling according to specifications. Mr. Pollman ceclares that he ‘will make War on the combination and its retainers Among city officials until he either iands some of them in prison or is run out of town himeectlf. He has clear evidence showing that thera is existing in St. louis at this time a combination of sprinkling contractors Which includes all except four in the city. coarges that every sprinkling con- tractor in the combination turned over to an executive committee at the time the agreement was made a bill of sale on every Wagon, horse and article of harness he pos- sessed and that this property is now ab- Sa.utely under the control of the executive committee, which transacts Dusiness in a room over 112 North Broadway. He charges that the executive committee Was given plenary powers by the con- tractors and may do asa it wills, controlling ae absolutely the sprinkling contracts of those in the combination as though they were made out in its name. He charges that ‘this combination was made at the Cherokee Garden, and that a certain city official was an active factor in ite formation. Me charges that this city official attempt- ed to form a like combination in 1897, and asked Mr. Vollman to go into it, because it Meant money in the official's pocket. He charges that because of the failure of the persons aforesaid to form a combina- tion in 1897 the cost of sprinkling was but $103,000, as againet $158,000, the cost in 1893, when a combination exists. He charges that the members of the com- bination had nothing to do with the bid- ding this yenr, except to sign their names to blank bids. These blank bids were turned over to the committee, which fixed § the @mounts of the bids. All these things Mr. Pollman believes can be proved if an opportunity is afforded for the hearing of testimony. He charges further that a certain superin- tencent of sprinkling was himself a sprink- ling contractor as well as superintendent in 18% and 1897, and that he during those Scasons compelled other bidders to stay out of the contest for districts that he wanted, ahereby mulcting the city out of $1500 in one year on the work In one district. Ife charges further that another city of- Hicial is in reality a sprinkling contractor. @ithough the contract was awarded in the mame of his brother, and that up to this year he was his own inspector. The list of sprinkling contractors in the combination, as given by Mr. Polman, is @s follows: Hienry Mueller Coal and Heavy Hauling already filed charges George Schroll and the Board of Public they are not ** 7) orge Schroll, ‘ lam Gartenbach. ‘ ros.

Mr. Pollman had paid no attention to the other communications, bute he was curtous to know what the City Register wanted to see him about. “I called on Mr. Besch in response to his last note, said he. “‘He had sent both requests by especial me@sserger and I knew his business must be important. He told me he wanted me to go inti the sprinkling combination. “*You know.’ he said. I"m not working for my health, and if we can fix up this combination there will b@e something in it for me. I only want you to remember me.’ “I refused him point blark. “While these meetings were being held and adjourned because I would not atténd two men frequently called upon me as a committee from the contractors to persuade me to join the combination. I refused all their requests and the combination was not formed. “The contracts that year amounted to $103,000. This year, when the combination was formed, the contracts amount to $158,- 0 and the city is getting no better service. “Now we come down to this year. Here is the notice I received to attend a meé¢ting of contracters at the Cherokee Garden.” The notice was written on the letterhead of Wade Bros. Construction Co. it follows: Feb. 11, 1808.—Important meetmg at Cherekee Garden, Saturday, Feb. 12, at 3 p. m. Respect- fully, Ss. 8. WADE. For HW. C. Pollman. a “I did not attend that meeting, as I knew well enough its object. But I have been told by a member of the Executive Committee all that was done. An or- ganization was formed by the election of Henry Mueller as chairman. An execu- tive committee was then elected by ballot, as follows: Henry Mueller, George Schroll, S. S. Wade, J. P. Schureman and Barney Berglar of the Rosedale Contracting and Supply Co. This committee is still in ex- istence and meets in a room wver 112 North Broadway. “This committee was giver plenary pow- ers. It had blank bills of sede printed and the contractors filled these out and signed them, turning over all the'r wagons, teams and harness to the committee. This placed them absolutely in the power of the com- mittee and also served to coral nearly ail the eprinkling paraphernalia in the city. The contractors in the comldination then signed bids in blank, which were also turned over to the committee, which fixed the amounts of the bids. The committee thus fixed the prices for almost the entire clty. ‘The next work of the combination was to buy off one construction company, which had made a custom of bidding on all eprinkling contracts to keep down prices. The combination paid #71000 to that com- pany, “The combination then tried to beat me out by picking out the. districts they thought I would bid for and running*the price down low. I got six contracts out o4., “Now work of NOG Olfve m. You of let me exp/aln some of the fine the combination. The first bids. Feb. 8 on the Thirty-sixth District were as follows: FE. TI. Taafe bid $3885. J. RB. Sippy $5300 and J. P. Schureman $5240. On March 4, at the second letting, Taafe cap- tured the contract with a bid of $4900, $1015 above the firat bid, which was rejected on an irregularity. which was of the combina- tion's own making. “On District 0, the combination held off the first letting and there were no bids. On March 41 bid $3283, and the combination bids were: Sippy, $6000; Turley, $5590, Schureman, $5740, and Fellbusach, $4700. “There would no®@have been any bids had I entered Into the agreement with the oom- bine. They were not sure of me even at this time, as is shown by this note dated March 2, two days before the letting: MH. ©. Pollmen—Please have certificate of sopout on district 34 at 112 North Broadwa Ir March 4, 1805, et 0 a. wm. Yours rely.” ” s. 5. WADE. “That was a feeler. The members of the combination had to turn over to the Exe- cutive Committee the certificates of de- posite with the City Treasurer, made to guarantee performance of contracts. If I had turned over my certificate of deposit to the committee that would have been equivalent to joining the combination. Even at that late day they expected me to surrender. I fooled them. “Charles Ladenberger of 813A California avenve oan tell about how the combination biked him.

He says a city official told him if he would drop his contracts he (the official) would get back his deposit money from the City Treasurer for him, although the contractor is supposed to lose these deposits when he does not carry out a contract. ‘“Ladenberger agreed and the contractée were dropped. The combination fixed it so that the reletting would be postponed until March 8 seven days before the date for sprinkling to commence, so as to prevent outside competition. They failed on that. I got one contract and Eyermann got an- other. The fifth went to the combination. The combination purchased two of Eyer- mann’e contracts, paying him $1200 for them. Ladenberger claims the city official never kept his promise to return the deposit money. “I will prefer charges Friday before the Council! against a superintendent of sprink- ling and an inspector. I hope all the truth will come out.” Charles Ladenberger, who has a coal and wood yard at 8116 California avenue, bid on the city sprinkling for districta No. Hl, 12, 18. 14 and 15, and was awarded the contract Feb. 8, 1898. After a few days’ considera- tion of the work and expenses the new job would entail, he decided to forfelt his con- tract with the municipal authorities. Mr. Ladenberger had put up $1092 as an evidence that his contract was bona fide, and when he concluded to drop the work he was assured by various officlals that he could secure the return of his money, al- though it would involve a viclation of the rule made by the Board of Public Improve- ments. The promise was s0 apparently reliable that Ladenberger acted upon it, with the resuit that he is out $1092. Contractor Ladenberger admitted Thurs- day that a certain city official had told him when he was forfeiting the contracts that he could probably get his money back without unnecessary trouble. One ex-mem- ber of the House of Delegates also in- formed Ladenberger his forfeit money would be returned, Pressed for a further explanation of the city official’s connection with the subject, Ladenberger said: “IT lost the $1002 deposit money through my own stupidity and the city official is in no way responsible for my misfortune. An ex-member of the House of Delegates said he thought I could get the money returned to me if I went to the Board of Public Im- provements. I had two bids made out; one was low and the other a high one, for the contract. I eent tn the low one through error and then found I was unable to fulfill the contract according to the termes espec'- fied. I knew there was a combine and that was one reason why I had concluded to sub- mit a high bid. I gave up the contract at once and was surprised when President Mic- Math of the Board of Public Improvements told me I was not entitled to a cent of the $1002 I had posted arith che City Treasurer, “The same contracts were awarded March 8, and the bids were about $1500 higher than the one I had previously submitted, 1 didn’t go in the second time because ! knew it wouldn't do any good. The cards, it was plain to see, were stacked tgainst me, and not every day can I afford to lose $1092. | SOME SOCIL NOTES —————e / MIDSUMMER MOVEMENTS OF THE FASHIONABLE WORLD OF SOCIETY. ee GOING NORTH BY STEAMER.

ONE FIGHT ALMOST TO DEATH. ——— Strikers Fired Upon by a Non-Union Man, Though Unrrmed, Retaliate by Nearly Kiiling Him. Qparial to the Post -DMiepated PANA, lil., July 21.—An attempt to oper- ate the Pana mines with non-union miners this morning nearly resulted in a tragedy. Union miners thelr wives, as has been the'r day and night custom. had esur- rounved the Spring-ide, Penwell and Pana Mires to intercept non-union miners No Men appeared for work at the Penwell or Pana. Two men, farmers, however, started for the Springside mine and were met by Union miners, who, aprpoaching them asked them for an interview and were erswered by one of the men drawing a revoeiver and firing into the crowd anc morphine and | RIVER AND HIS BODY WAS NOT RECOVERED. | BLES AN ‘Clark Was Sent to the Workhouse Un- der a $100 Fine, Which Is Equiv- alent to a Year’s Servitude. Old James Clark was another Work- house prisoner who believed death prefer- able to the surroundings he encountered at the city penal institution In South 8t. Louls. Sume Workhouse prisoners have managed to obtain poison and kill them- selves and others have contrived to gain possession of knives with which to take their own lives, but olé Clark didn't have friends on the outside and he knew his only chance was the muddy Mississippi, a few hundred fect away. The venerable prisoner—Clark was @ years ol\d—was sent to the Workhouse from Judge Peabody's court on June 27 to serve a $100 fine. Such a fine is equivalent to one year’s imprisonment, and a year passed in such a way to a man of Clark's age is worse than death. Clark realized that there was no euch thing as escape for him. He was not quick witted and he waé not fleet footed nor vig- orous of body in an encounter with the guards. To attempt to escape was certain recap- ture and a longer sentence for him. The best he could do was to commit suicide. Thursday morning he found his way tot the Workhouse quarry, which is about 560 yards from the prison. The guards per- mitted him to pass, believing that he was going to the quarry to labor. Having gained the bed of rough stone Clark quick- ened his steps In the direction of the river, still another 50 yards ahead of him. He waa half running, half walking, desperate on ending his troubles, when Guard Leo- pold Natt eaw him from the hill. The Workhouse guards are heavily armed with shotguns, but they do not use them unless they are sure a prisoner is at- tempting to escape. Natt called to old Clark to halt, but no heed was given the word, Then Natt fired at the retreating figure, but Clark continued to run ahead. As Natt was preparing to send another shower of shot after him, Clark was seen to drop suddenly. Natt thought the first fire had taken ef- fect and that the old fellow had tumbled from weakness and pain. He was mistaken. Natt and several other guards hastened down the slope to pick up the gray-haired prisoner and bring him back for medical aid. When reached the spot where icy Clark was oo to fall they were astonished to find no traces of him. They bent their gaze on the eoftened ground and the tracks in the mud explained everything. James*-Clark had crawled through the big sewer on the east side of the quarry and made bis way to the river. His body had arisen and sunk for the last time while the gwuards were specuiating upon his dis- appearance from the spot where he fell. Clark's death was not that of a desperate man who wished to evade pursuers. It was deliberate suicide. This is borne out by the fact that he had familiarizeg him- self with the lay of the land and had gone straight to the sewer when he left his ceil, He knew the sewer led directly to the river and once tnaide the foul tunnel there was naught ahead but death by drowning.

BE PATIENT WITH THE CUBANS. insubordination at The Importance of Cuban Santiago should not be overrated. The islanders are, for the most part, unfamillar with gov- érnment except in its Spanish form as misgovernment and lawless tyranny. Ordered freedom under the regulation of law is known to them only a8 @ Vague rumor, a millenial hope rather than an attainable fact. They have always been “agin” the Spanish government, and with good reason, and in the first mometits of surprise over the expulsion of the hated oppressor they appear dissatisfied with all government. But do not forget that they have proved their manliness in a long struecet in the brush. They have been starved, murtieted, mutilated, outraged in a thousand ways, and it is only natural for them to show their teeth in the hour of their deliverance. Give them time. Be patient and forbearing, holding the reins with a firm hand. They ean probably be licked into shape and put in the way of real self government. The prob- lem for the United States is not easy of solution, but it can be solved without wronging the Cubans and without violat- ing the pledge given or compromising our government in the eyes of the world. ae Missour! has answered the nation's call by sending more of her sons than were required.

He has told a committee of the House of Delegates that money spent for repairing wood, granite and asphaltum pavements “might just as well have been thrown away.” In other words, it has been thrown away and the city has peceived no benefit. Mr. McMath’'s testimony is certainly ‘supported by the condition of the streets. | The defeat of the Charter Amendments seems to have had ‘@ sobering effect upon city officials. They clamored for new taxes on the ground of absolute necessity, but it now appears that economy and honesty in the administration of revenues already provided are absolutely necessary. . The confession is important. Its bearing upon public im- provements will not be overlooked. —_eee. — ———— The Chicago City Counc!] wanted $750,000, it is asserted, to pass the Yerkes atreet railway grab bill, and, not getting ‘60 much, virtuously adjourned until autumn.

As an inducement the commission SugEests salaries than those pald to women. Women ought not to be placed at any disadvantage tn any of the professions.

His ts—or ought ‘to be-—one of the learned professions There is no nobler . than the childish and youthful mird. He who can it for its appointed work is one of the most useful The schoolmaster journalism attempted a cowardly disparagement of the work of the Post-Dispatch. This conduct provokes one to be unfeelingly plain. The facts are given in another column, What are these facts? On February 10th the Post-Dispatch opened the fight against the Charter Amendments, the issue of that date con- taining a complete exposure of the pjot to smother the merit system, which was demanded by an overwhelming public sentiment as the only safeguard of the taxpayer, and his only protection against the raids of irresponsible politicians and corrupt oontractors. The Republic editorially approved Mayor Ziegenhein’s mes- sage on the, subject. February 11 the ‘Post-Dispatch called attention to existing corruption In the City Hall, backed up its argument with facts and figures and insisted upon the merit system as an essential element of the scheme If it were to be free from jobbery. On the same day the Republic had this to say of the merif System: “At best the merit system could only establish a plodding and indifferent efficiency.” And further on it ob- served: “We are not carried away by enthusiasm over the anticipated results of civil service reform.” February 12 the Post-Dispatch presented more facts and figures, all tending to show the need of adequate protection for the taxpayers and the public treasury. The Republic made a grudging half-hearted concession of merit in the merit system in this wise: “It may be that the adoption of the merit system in municipal employment would lessen this danger’ (of corruption). The editor was still in the sub- junctive mood. It might, but he wasn’t sure. February 13 the Post-Dispatch set forth the whole spoils programme. The Republic told the Mayor it would be “well worth while’ to “weigh in perfect fairness of spirit the arguments in favor of the merit system.” February 13 to 26 the Post-Dispatch contained editorials supporting the merit system, pointed out the dangers lurking in the amendment scheme and attacked the spoilsmen every daw. During this period the Republic gave space to occa- sional contributions from persons interested in the merit system, but editorially was occupied more in pointing our the defects of the system than its virtues. At the same time it printed interviews tending to show that the merit system had no merit. March 27 the Post-Dispatch printed the announcement of the Citizens’ Committee that it would fight the amendments From this date to the end the Post-Dispatch contained daily editorial and other articles showing every aspect of the question and manfully fought the battle of the taxpayer and decent government. The Republic printed occasional languid editorials. BUT ON MAY 21 SOMETHING HAPPENED. THE CITY PRINTING CONTRACT,*WHICH HAD BEEN HELD BY THE REPUBLIC, WAS AWARDED THE GLOBE-DEMO- CRAT—THE TRANSFER TO BE MADE JUNE 15. Then the old grandmother woke up and did some spanking work for the right. It is singular, however, that she was not sure of the right until her “cinch” on the city treasury was lost. . The Republic’s record from Feb. 10 to May 21 and that from May 21 to election cannot be reconciled. They are ut- terly different ahd opposed. Its condemnation is read in its own columns. The case is too plain for controversy. When we graciously threw our mantle of charity over the old lady .and the convicting chronologue of the $30,000 city printing contract she should not have pinched our legs. — “You don’t get the etreets cleaned much by employing in- spectors.” says President McMath.

When beauty of face and form is supple- mented by these attributes the world gives way before it. When [t is devoid of them it is often as ineffectual as a show image to arouse more than a passing notice, But even she who is possessed of all the charms must yield her scepter eventually to time.

St. Louis Boulevarda To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The idea of widening Twelfth etreet from Cass avenue to Park avenue, thus creatin a magnificent boulevard, originated wit Mr. Julius Pitzgman, and nobody else. Mr, Pitzman suggested the idea years ago, when the first movement for boulevards in the city of St. Louis was on foot. Mr. Pitzman prepared preliminary plans and calculations and estimated at that time the cost at $2,500,000. A great number of citl- zens were invited to interest themselves in the matter and the question was not only discuesed privately but peor, ata ban- quet of the Architects’ Club. he realiza- tion of the project was shipwrecked by the campaign on the money question. While Mr. PitZman’s plan was to concen- trate the boulevard interest of our whole community into this grand scheme and carry this one through, the city authorities in their profound wisdom created a dozen or so boulevards—on paper and sign-boards —and passed boulevard lawe, which were nullified by the Supreme Court and conse+* quently were not worth the paper they were written on. This boulevard question, as so many other thingw in our city government, lIa- | dey under one great evil—it was over- one. if Uncle Henry and his great Board of Public Improvements as they have begun O—o0—-0—0—0—-0— 0—-0--Q--0-—-0—-0—-0 —O-0—0—0—-0—-0—-0--O A MUSICAL PROGRAMME. | O-—-o—o—0—-0—-0—- 0 —0—-0- Miller removed his eyeglasses and looked, at Villard with a calm but scrutinizing gaze. Villard was in evening dress. He had just come in and had cast his overcoat | on Miller’s sofa and was waiking aimlessly | about the room humming “Only to love her, nothing more,”’ in a soft undertone, He | also glanced at himeelf in the mirror, but | furtively, not openly. His frank vanity rad often amused Miller (the men had been liv- ing together a year), but he appeared now not quite sure of his good looks. He eyed the mirror questioningly as well as fur- tively. “Where did you go to-night?” Miller asked. “Did you meet Carter?” “I met him, yes—we didn’t go to the the- ater. We went uptown to call— Only to bless her, o'er and o'er, And to her emile to— Carter is a conceited donkey!” ‘Is he?’’ “With women he ts. Well, I'm going to bed. You'd better, too. One o'clock.

To possess a fine voice and to know how to use it may mean a great deal to the fortunate being thus endowed, It may mean a great deal to others as well, but the meaning will not be quite the same. Villard sang more than he talked, but he said more in his singing—this also happens sometimes—than in his conversation. Three months after the early morning hour in which Villard had called his friend Carter a “donkey” and had left his over- coat in a heap on Miller's sofa he came in late with a springing Step, his hair slightly disordered, breathless a Iittle, but very good to look at in the debonair grace of outh and the exuberant strength of man- few Miller took oft his giasses—the usual sign that he wished and expected to talk awhile. “Fine night,” he remarked, as a briliiant beginning. Vitlard crossed the room and sat down opposite to him, with meaning tn the act. ‘It ig the finest night that ever came to me.” he said rapturously ‘the greatest, the sublimest! Do you know that, old boy?’ “Well you don't,” the other responded triumphantly, “because you cant know it. Iam going to tell you, though. I am going to astound you.” % He leaned forward, putting his han@ on Miller's knee, and looked at him with smil- ing. sparkling eye® By ou don’t believe in mind reading, by Miller, taking the hana up and shaking it absent-mindedly, “but a very curious {instance has just come to my e . re ‘eae lid notice.

Then you began on ‘Some day, some day I! will meet you,’ and you sang it till you did meet her.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your correspondents “Anti-Humbug” an@ “W. 8. B.” should specify in what manner Ireland is so infamously misruled. It hae been shown that they are better treated in the matter of representation than the Ene- lish themselves. And the late Mr. Parne had to admit that under home rule taza- tion would be heavier. It is known all over the world that Englishmen have been try- ing honestly for years to satisfy every reasonable aspiration of the Irish people. Certainly, they do not give them indepen- dence. Neither did the Northern States give independence to the South when they esired to secede; but unlike the Southern States, Ireland has not yet learned the value of unity even in her own land. but presents to the world a picture of a brave, warm-hearted people, the victims of wun- scrupulous agitators, creating enmity end distrust ending in the impoverishment of the people. For Englishmen, who have mi!- lions to invest im any part of the world, rarely if ever invest in Ireland. where it would do good to thelr own citizens. Why should there not be a bond of unity be- tween Great Britain and Ireland—a bond of g00d will? Irish interests lie in close unity with the Great British Empire, and not in weak isolation. 1. 1. H. St. Louis, “Filley’s Motive.” To the Editor of the Post-Di.patch. Democrats and Republicans with a meme ory that will reach back to 1868 will differ with your correspondent’s attack upon Chauncey I. Filley under the above cap- tion in Tuesday's edition. It will be re- membered by them that he resigned his« position as chief executive of thia city at that time and regardiess of whatever rea- sons for so doing ha then publicly pro- claimed, the writer honest belleves, that when he found tiimeself surrounded by a coteries of thieves and embeggiera end the then party machinery under their con- trol, he reeigned, preferrin . a8 he does to. day, to be freed from official responsibility and not be compelled to surrender individual regard for party interest. The result was a elty treasurer and other officials convicted and sent to the Jefferson City penitentiary. Since then our city has been somewhat free from the reproach of having corrupt officials in office, but the time seems to o at hand when a most searching investiga- tion should be made, and that instead of a Charter Revision Committee his henor, Mayor Ziegenhein, should recommend to the Municipal Assembly the passage of an or- dinance authorizing such an investigadion by a non-partisan commission. ta be se- lected, say one member each, by the Mer- chants’ Exchange, Builders’ Exahange, Clearinghouse Assoctation and himaelf, St. Louis.

Judge Kiein rendered an important opin- fon Thursday morning regarding the rights of dead persons and public burying grounde, | $75, JUDGR KLEIN DECLARES THIS, His decision brings to light two very im- portant facta. One is that Calvary Ceme- tery is a public cemetery, in which persons of all creeds may be buried and that the cemetery, if open for the burial of persons of all religious denominations, is a public benefit and can not be disturbed without | grave an@ weighty reasons. The decision was provoked by a motion filed by the city to strike out a part of the cemetery association's answer. Some time ago the city inat demnation proceedings for ihe purpose of | opening a street in the northWest su >u.bea A pam of the line of this proposed strce ran right through the cemetery. The styie of the suit Is the City Louts against Oberbeck and othe:s, among the others being the Calvary Cemetery As- sociation, The Association answered and steted that it had acquired its property from the c.ty by special license and that the land was Deing used as a@ public cemetery, in which Persons of all creeds could be buried. The city demurred to this defense and moved to have it stricken out. The oourt overruled the demurrer, saying that the defense is a good one and tenable under the circume@tances, If the burying ground is in use and not abandoned and is open to the public, it is a public institution and must be guarded and protec ted ag euch.

The two THE REPUBLIC. Feb. 10.—Editorial indorsing Mayor Zieg- enhein’s message; in which he had paved the way for the Charter amendment job and prophesying that a bill of th.s kind would be eubmitted by the Legislative ' Committee. | Feb. 11.—A half-hearted plea for a merit | system which was really an argument against it. It said: “The Republic has never believed that appointment by exam- ination or what is known as civil service reform, can produce the revolution in ef- ficiency which is expected by advocates of the reform. At best the syst m could only esiablish a plodding and indifferent medioc- rity.”’ And it added: “We are not carried away by enthusiasm over the anticipated resulis of the civil service system.”’ Feb. 12.—The Republic became quite can- did, and sad “it might be’’ that th merit system would prevent politics lessening the efficiency of street improvement work. lt said: “It may be that the adoption of the merit system in municipal employment would lessen thie danger, inasmuch as po- litical pulls would not then be so potent in procuring positions in the Street Depart- ment forces. At any rate something over &.000 of the voters of 8t. Louis believe that it would have this effect.” Feb. 18.—Another little sputter of qualified protest. And then the Republic's editorial writers seemed to turn with rellef from a subject which had contained no insp.ration for them. They wound up with this temperate ex- postulation with the Mayor: “It will be well worth while for Mayor Ziegenhein to weigh in perfect fairness of spirit the argu- ° * in favor of the merit sys- tem.’’ During the long period of waiting for the committee to report, the Republic gave space to temperate representations by in- dividuele and organizations touching the merit system. The Republic call d atten- tion editorially to the force of some of these arguments, but destroyed the effect of this implied indorgement by pointing out defects in th: system. Intervi'wa were also printed intended to expose the weakness of the merit system amendment. March 2%—An apolog:tic editoral on the papers, of the committee two days before. The Republic said it was not “favoring a life service tenure civil service In municipal employment,” but theught the represente- tive protest of 66.000 voters was entitied to more consideration than it received.
