Frederick Shick and Miss Julia Ahearn, of St. Louis were married for the second time in Belleville Friday, and upon their return to St. Louis each went for a second time to his and her respective home to live ‘gingly. Mr. Schick {s 22 years old and lives at 2837 Ohio avenue with his parents, two sis- ters and two brothers. , Mrs. Schick, nee Ahearn, is 19 years old and lives at 613 Walnut street. Saturday morning at 8 o'clock Mr. Schick the groom, was sieeping soundly at his home on Ohio avenue. His mother was busying herself about the household duties and there was not a ripple on the surface of the family’s affairs. Mrs. Schick, the groom’s mother, re- og to a ring at the doorbell and was then informed for the first time of her son's marnthace. “Well,” sald she, ‘the never spoke a word about it to anyone. I'll wake him and find out if it's true,’’ and @ehe hasfened back into the house, her curiosity much aroused. One of Schick's younger sisters said she did not know anything about the young woman in the case. . bea 8a ys she added, with childish aAivete, “an¢ 'm not. surprised at any- “ns he does.” : es y thie time the mother returned.

He told me ft was my duty to care for the family, and if I could care for a wife alao I was justified in marrying. “Friday I met Julia and she wanted to urry our affairs, and we decided on mar- ———— rying and living separate so that my father would be none the wiser. We were married by a justice of the peace, “Julia has had a disagreement with her uncle, who lived at 1425 Olive street, and I rented a room for her at 613 Walnut street, “I can support her and contribute my share towards keeping up my home MNere. “IT am 21 years old and over, and can do what I please,’’ he added in an ‘‘aside,’’ as if in answer to the amazed looks of his auditors. Schick then explained that he fully in- tended to inform his mother and sisters of the marriage, but he wanted to withhold the news from his father. Mrs. Fred Schick, the bride, was found in a neat room at 613 Walnut street, as Fred had stated. She is smaW in stature, a brunette and pretty, as her picture shows. “Why,"’ she exclaimed to the reporter, “this is the second time we have been married. The first time was Feb. 4 of this year. “Fred said that his father objected to the marriage and concluded to marry regardless of that if we could do it secretly. Fred knew a justice of the peace in and the justice said he would marry us and Julia) no one would ever know anything about it. | He performed the same ceremony, asked the same questions as he did yesterday, ex- | ; ¢ontinue to - |in behalf of his lunatic nephew, King Otto. cept that the first time we marriage license. “Iam a Catholic and have been in Amerit- ca only five vears from Ireland.

THEY DROPPED A CLOCK AND GAVE THE ALARM. Patient Jumped From a Sids Window and His Companions Fled With the Doctor’s Satchel ‘and Surgical Instruments. Dr. Charles Heyer of Tenth street and Franklin avenue was the victim of a bold robbery at the hands of three cunning young men. He was returning from a sick call about midnight, when a man stepped from an alley on Tenth street, between Franklin avenue and Morgan. ‘Doctor,’ said the stranger, ‘‘I have been waiting for you nearly two hours. I am awfully sick and need immediate attention. Dr. Heyer asked him the trouble. The fellow said he had chills and fever. While walking towards the office Dr. Heyer and his patient were joined by two other men. They saluted the doctor’s partner, who invited them into the physician’s apartments. The stranger was taken into an inner room, where Dr. Heyer made a close ex- amination of his physical condition. Meanwhile the stranger’s friends were helping themselves to articles of value in the doctor’s outer office. The first object they seized. was a leather satchel contain- ing an expénsive surgical outfit. Then they sought a valige and took therefrom a case of medicines. But the robbers were foiled when they went after the clock. It was fastened to mantelplece and a jerk knocked the clock to the fiaor, and upset the unbalanced intruders and threw one of them to the floor. The loud noise thoroughly alarmed the physician and he rushed from the surgical room, At the same time the sick patient leaped out of a side window. Dr. Heyer was nonplussed for a moment. He could not imagine what had ‘happened. He racked his professional brain awhile longer and then he knew he was ‘‘taken in.”’ Without losing any time he endeavored to get on the robbers’ trail. He worked hard but could find no clew. The doctor says the “stranger’’ mistook the relative value of his surgical-instruments. He can identify the thieves if they are arrested. “IT am 60 vears old,’’ said the doctor in narrating his experience, ‘‘and but for that I might have given the robbers a run for my property.”’ IN GRIEF FOR THE EMPRESS, Prince Regent of Bavaria Stricken in Vienna Beside the Coffin.

He° was deeply attached to the late Empress, who was his first cousin. Like the Emperor, who kissed the coffin again and again, he was overcome with grief yesterday while kneel- ing beside the remains, and = suddenly reeled and fell to the ground. The Prince, who is a widower, has been regent of Bavaria ever since the insanity of the late King Louis rendered it neces- sary that he snould be put under res- traint. In the event of his death or incapacity from continuing to administer the regency he will be succeeded by his eldest son, who, like himself, bears the name of Leo- poid, and who is married to that Austrian Arch-duchess, Marie of ‘Este, garded by the English Jacobites as the de jure Queen of Great Britain, being the last lineal descendant of the Stuarts, and much less remotely descended from that ill-fated English dynasty than Queen Victoria. Spe has no less than fourteen children. Her husband, Prince Louis, cordially dislikes Emperor William, has on several occas- jons given public expression to hie sentl- ment, and is never tired of drawing ye tion to the fact that Bavaria is not the . latter’s : > vassal of Prussia, but the latters ully CROWN PRINCE ESCAPES DEATH.

GETCHER GUNN, The committee appointed by Battery A Auxillary and Relief Association left on the regular Wabash train at 9:10 o'clock Saturday morn:ng. At Decatur, Ill, their coach will be side- tracked to await the coming of the soldier train over the Nickel Plate road. The car will be atached to this and come in with Capt. Rumbold. “The committee is present to a man,”’ said Col. John I. Martin, who was among the first to arrive at Union Station. The train had been made up and was in the shed, so Col. Martin immediately took. pos- session of the rear coach. Half an hour later the sides were hidden under a pro- fusion of bunting On either side in the center of the car is a long banner reading “St. Louis Royally Welcomes Returning Soldiers,’’ Surrounding this are streamers in the national colors, Bunting is entwined througa windows the entire length of the Car, giving the whole a most pleasing patriotic effect.

Urged by thé Edwardsville officers and Thiel detectives, who made the. arrésts uboard, as told exclusively in Friday’s 7 o'clock Post-Dispatch, the captain of the ferryboat turned his craft back to shore, postponing the landing at North Market street wharf on the Missouri side, thereby avoiding the necessity for extradition pro- ceedings. When Biz Four Railway officials heard of the arrests’ they were more than pleased, for in the round-up of this @xtette it is believed a body blow has been struck at the big freight car thievery conspiracy in St. Clair and Madison counties that has cost the traffic interests thousands of dollars in the Jast few years. When the ususal crowd that patronizes the East Side pool rooms and the,other passengers stepped over the gang-plank of the boat Deputy Sheriff J. A. Barnett, another officer and the three detectives mingled with the throng. They waited for six men whom they had spotted,’ Nor were their expectations ill-founded, for the sus- pects marched boldly on deck. As soon as the boat had cleared the land Barnett walked over to the group, flanked by his posse, and placed the surprised fellows un- der arrest. Fearing they might seek es- cape by jumping overboard, he ordered them into tne cabin, where they were manacle-4 in pairs. Few of the passengers realized what was going on until the boat backed up again and the 11 men trod:.the soil of Illinois. They are now im the Edwardsville jail. Friday morning the prisoners, consisting of Frank Burns, George Pierce, W m., Flow- ers. Simon Green, George McCauley and Andrew Anderton—the last four being col- ored men—waived preliminary hearing at Kdwardsville, lll, and their trial was set for Sept. 26. : Meantime Thiel operatives are searching for the remaining members of the gang, who it is believed are in St. Louis. “We worked up this case at the instance of the Bie Four Railway,” said Gustaye H. Thiel, ‘and it required laborious, careful watching to get at the ringleaders, The rascals stole at night, breaking the car seals in the yards. The car doors are not locked, and it is an easy matter to break off the tin seals, or with a wedge to strip the wire from the stronger kind of seais, which are sometimes utilized on cars. operated over a wide area, and it is hard to tell how much they got away with. The plunder was disposed of in many places.

CHICAGO AND BUFFALO BANKS REPRESENTED ON THE BOARD. * al Further Decline of More Than One Point, and an Apprehension * " Among the Local Holders That Misrepresentations Have Been Made to Them. Developments in the deplorable National Linseed Oil situation came rapidly after the publication Friday by the Post-Dispatch of the story of millions lost on the stock In St. Louis. A meeting of stockholders was hurriedly called to meet at the brokerage office of A. G. Edwards & Sons Friday evening. Wur- ing the afternoon Meyer Bernard, a Wis- consin stockholder, filed in the United States Court at Chicago an application for a receiver for the company, cla!ming that its affairs Had been mismanaged. At the meeting at the office of A. G. Ed- wards & Sons about $3,000,000 of etock was represented. This is one-sixth of the total capitalization, got together at a few hours’ notice. Nothing was done at this meeting except a decision to ca!l a generul meeting of St. Lou's stockholders at the Mercantile Club Tuesday next. At this meeting the St. Louis stockholders will determine their attitude toward the re-organization scheme proposed by the directory, of which a com- mittee consisting of Frederick Alcott, Gen, Samuel Thomas and Henry W. Poor was asked to take charge. Mr, Charlies Hodgman, a St. Louls dire*- tor in the company, commends this move on the part of the stockholders here. ‘You may say for me,” he said Saturday morning, “‘that I think the object of the meeting called for Tuesday is a good one, and I am willing to helo the St. Louls stockholders in any move that will be to their interest. I would suggest to them that at the meeting Tuesday they selett from their number two men of.the highest standing to go to New York and confer with Mr. Olcott and the gentlemen associated with him on the proposed reorganization committee. I am sure Mr. Olcott would be glad to see them. I cannot discuss the affairs of the company further.” St. Louis stockholders are inclined to hold back from participation In the pro- posed reorganization until they can learn more of the plans for carrying it out. They want to be certain that it is conceived en- tirely in the interest of all the stockhold- eye, and not In the interest of a few who are on the inside and a lot of creditors. “We thave been taken in so often.” said one stockholder, who preferred that his name be not published, “that naturally we are wary. Here is a point that it wil! be well for St. Louis stockholders to con- sider. It has been stated that the RBoard of Directors has appointed a committee consisting of Franklin P. Locke of Buffa- lo and James H. Eckels, former Comp- ' troller of the Treasury of Chicago; to con- fer with Mr. Olcott’s committee. Now Mr Locke was taken into the Board of Direct- lll , Ors recently as a concession to ccaada October Buffalo banks that are heavy creditors of the company, and fn all conferences with *the proposed reorganization committee he will represent the Buffalo banks who re tain him on the board of directors. Mr. Eckels, of course, represents the banks of Chicago, which are creditors of the come pany, Mr. Locke being a member of the Board of directors, is in position to find out the true condition of the company, and to use his best endeavors to protect his banks accordingly.” “This is all very nice for the banks of Buffale and Chicago, to have a couple of astute gentlemen representing them and conferring with the Olcott reorganization committee, but where does St. Louls come in? It is supposed that nearly one-half of the steck is owned here. If so, it bee hooves the St. Louls directors to watch their interests closely and acquaint them- selves thoroughly with the true purpose of this reorganization, to after they have gone into It they may not find that Chicago and Buffalo, through their representatives, have bagged the game, “it is the general impression among S&t. Louis stockholders,’ continued this gentie- man, “that President Alex Euston of the company has been given too free rein in the management of the company, and that the other directors have not properly acquaint- ed themselves with the true cundition of the company. It looks to us as though Mr, Euston was the whole show. It seems yond belief that a company could get inte the condition that the National Linse Co. is in without the knowledge of the rectors, “The situation in St. Louis is truly @ able. Millions of dollars have jiteraliy wiped out by the continuous decline im the Vaiuve of the stock.”’ St. Louis stockholders Saturday received circulars from the company, asking them to go into the reorganization scheme. The quotation of the atock Saturday morning was 24, with no buyers, a drop of more than one point since Friday. Relative to the manner in which 8t. Low sane came to be caught, a stockholder said: “We were advised by directors whom we trusted to hold on to our stock, even when it Was on the toboggan. Owgr advisers may have been misinformed. We were told that the company was earning fabulous sums monthlv and that it was all right.

Thursday morning a stranger called at the home of Mr. Duffner and bought some wine of Mrs. Duffner. He said he wou!d call again in the evening after some more wine. At about 6:30 o’clock that evening Mr. and Mrs. Duffner were in the vard, when tw9 men walked in and demanded money. The men wore false whiskers and Mrs. Duffmer stepped up to one of the men and pulled off his mask, whereupon the fellow drew a re- volver and fired at her, the bullet grazing the side of her head. : Mr. Duffner jumped on the man, and @ tussle ensued. Otto Duffner, a grown son, seized the other man by the arms from be- hind and kept him from using his gun. Mr. Duffner succeeded in getting his knife from his pocket and slashed his man across the throat, which caused the fellow to fall to the ground. Young Duffner called his fa- ther to his assistance, and he rushed at the second robber and slashed his neck with the knife, but the wound was not 6e- rious, and before he could strike again a third robber, who had been watching in the road, appeared and shot Mr. Duffner twice in the back, killing him almost tnstantly, The son then let go of his man, and the two robbers dashed off in the direction of the horse lot, with a rope and a strap, and took the road to the north. At 1 o’clock the Sheriff arrived and or- ganized a posse and started in pursuit of the robbers. The body of the dead robber was taken to Buffalo by order of the Sher- iff. Mrs, Duffner is prostrated by the ter- rible affair, and it was with difficulty she told the story of the murder.

He had a great mass of figures tn a little notebook to which he constantly referred, After he had loaded the jury up with statistics he slowly straightened up and held his hand out impressively, while he gravely referred to the testimony of tne defendant’s mother- In-law, Mrs. D. B. Swift. who was brought into the eourt room in an invalid chair by her devoted husband. “Ah, gentlemen, I may be wrong in my figures and my deductions from this evi- denee., I may have made mistakes, for which I trust you will pardon me, But there is one person who testified who must be be- lieved {f anything on earth is true.

SMOCK OOOO LOD OOO LORE et . MACON, Mo., Sept. 17.-The most impor- : , tant criminal case on the Macon County | Circult Court docket is that of the State of | Missour!l against A. T. Smock, which is to be tried a second time Sept. 26. It has been | tried here once, and four of the jurymen were for the State, the other eight being , uncompromisingly for the defendant. Smock was a young druggist of Shelbina, | He Hiad been married two years to Dolly Swift, the beautiful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Swift. Mrs. Smock is impulsive and nervous. She was the only child and idolized by her parents. She had heard of or read somewhere that men were going abroad in the‘land seeking to devour youth and innocence. Her source of information on tnis subject, however, had failed to give her the ability to discriminate between the “roaring lon” and the gentleman. The night of July 22, 1897, some thrifty church eociety gave an ice-cream BOcial 1h a@ jittie plot of ground between the main street and the railroad, which the inhabi- tants dignified by cailing a park. Smock | took his wife and her young woman fr.end, Nellie Hopper, and ieft them with the good folks there assembled. He returned home. Mr. and. Mrs. M. L. Cheuvront were uiso among the society's guests, and it unfortu- nately happened that the gentleman's posi- tion was near Mrs. Smock. She fancied that Cheuvront was looking at her and asked Mies Hopper to accompany her home. They left the park and soon after- ward Cheuvront lit a cigar and strolled out for a walk, telling hie wife he would re- turn for her in a‘few moments. He walked some distance behind the women, as to whether by coincidence or premeditated design is the bitter contro- versy in the case. At any rate, the !adies rushed into the Smock residence and in agitated tones told Smock that Cheuvront had been following them. Smock grabbed a revolver, rushed out into the street, and in a few minutes three shots were fired. (heuvront fell, mortally wounded, and in his dying declaration swore that he begged Smock not‘to shoot him, as he had done no harm and didn’t know who the ladies were. Among the many sensational Incidents that ‘occurred during this long, hotly con- tested trial the speech of J. H. Whitecot- ton, leading counsel for defendant, stands Out pre-eminently as the most. striking. Whitecotton is a member of the Legisla- ture from Monroe County and is spoken of for Speaker of the-next House. He is large and finely proportioned, and his dark hair and eyes, closely cropped mus- tache and short side whiskers add to his striking appearance, He looks to be an Englishman. He was assisted by seven or eight other attorneys, but merely employed 3 them as a sort of advisory counsel. He ‘ examined all the witnesses himself. made ‘ the opening statement and closed for the defendant. ‘ ga WHITECOTTON’S FAMOUS SPEECH. Whitecotton'’s voice and manner are at times bitterly severe and threatening: he possesses, however, the faculty of chang- ng in an instant to the gentleness of a woman. He knew he had a hard case to defend—no man knew it better. A jury in the same court at the same term had found a defendant guiltv in one of those “unwritten law’ cases, when the provoca- tlon appeared to be much greater than in this one. It is a great thine to have the law at your command and to be thor- ing life in her bosom until this session came on? Ah, IT will tell you what kept the dying epark alive. It was because the Father of the Universe, who always stands by poor, unfortunate humanity, de- creed otherwise and issued the fiat that she should live to save her boy—to save her hoy! Thanks to the great merciful God of Heaven for it! Take her now from her misery: take her away to her heavenly home, for she has said before a jury of her. countrymen: ‘My boy was assaulted there, and what ne did was done in defense of his life And she told you exactly how and where this tragedy occurred.’’ LIKE A CAMP-MEETING. seems ridiculous that the members of the jury, after having been so carefully warned by the attorney to refrain from giving away to their emotions, should do that very thing, but they did. Several of them shed tears and not only they, but one of the defendant's counsel had to mop .his eyes frequently with his handkerchief. The women spectators ‘‘boo-hooed.”” The whole affair resembled an old fashioned country camp-meeting. All ot this may have been according to the rulec of evidence and the cold facts and all of that. but every one in the courtroom felt certain at the conclusion of Whitecot- ton's speech that that jury would never find the defendant guilty. In fact, it is said, one of the furymen remarked as soon as he heard Mrs. Swift testify that he would have hung out until doomsday before voting to hang the defendant. Mrs. Swift will not be present at the trial this month, and the pathos of her condi- tion cannot be exhibited to the gury. as «he is dead. The attorneys for the State said they were perfectly willing to admit the entire truthfulness of every word Mrs, Swift uttered, but that her testimony was immaterial, And yet it was one of the great factors in winning those eight men for the defendant. Much new evidence has en discovered by both sidés and the second trial promises to be longer than the first one. The attorneys in the case are, for the de- fendant: J. H. Whitecottén, Paris; Dale & Shain, Shelbyville; Humphrey & Ellison, Shelbina: R. W. Barrow, W. H. Sears and Dysart & Mitchell of Macon. For the State: R. A.

Cas- sius Marcellus Clay, the hero of White Hall, has fought another battle with Cupid and won tne contest. Only one week ago his child wife, Dora Clay, obtained a divorce from him, the Gen- eral agreeing to the petition. Three days after the decree was given her Dora an- nounced that she intended to marry Riley Brock, a sawmill hand, who won her heart, it seems, while she was the General's wife. The wedding was set for vesterday, and was to have been solemnized at Pinkard, in Woodford County, where Gen. Clay had purchased a farm for his divorced wife. But Gen. Clay got wind of the scheme and sent a man on horseback to summon Dora to White Hall. She obeyed the call, and was instructed by the aged warrior not to marry Brock. Gen. Clay is reported as saying to Dora: “TI took you from the peasantry and by my marriage to you elevated you to the aristocracy, and you are the mother of my child, and must not stain his name by be- coming the wife of a peasant. I will not have it.’’ What other argument the General used ts not known, but when she returned she sent for her peasant lover and told him not to get the marriage license. Brock pleaded with her, but she refused, stating that Gen. Clay had been too Kind to her to refuse even such a request as this made by him. Gen.

Under the operations of the law Admiral Sampson gets $100,000 prize money, while Admirals Dewey and Schley re- ceive $9000 and $5000 respectively. If the achievements of naval officers are to be rewarded in money there ought to be some proportion between accom- plishment and its recompense. Dewey destroyed the enemy's fleet in Eastern waters, en- larged the dominion of the American people and opened a new chapter in history. Schley directed the fight off Santiago, and expert examination showed that his flagship bore the brunt of the battle. He annihilated Spain’s sea power and virtuaHy brought the war to a close. Sampson occupied his time in chasing merchantmen and looking for a Spanish fleet he did not find. : : The relative capabilities of the three commanders are not in question. The point is that Sampson's actual effective war work was very much inferior to either Dewey’s or Schley’s, and, assuming the propriety of money payments for patriotic gervices, his prize should be in proportion. As long as prize money is distributed it should be divided with some reference to actual desert. ——_ 0 0...

He Says that this can be obtained in sufficient quantities to support life on 8 cents a day. This beats Fdward Atkinson and his cooking stove as a solution of the “social question.”” When a man can live on 8 cents a day the trusts, which have such hard work to make both ends meet, will get their labor at a nominal cost and the sums hitherto spent in wages will go to swell their profits. The wealth of the world is bound to increase enor- mously. There will be billionaires where now there are mil- lHonaires. The wonder of it is past conception. Dr. Lillienfeld is a benefactor. Mr. Edward Atkinson falled to convince the workingman that his own extravagance and ignorafice of cookipg were at the bottom of his troubles, but he may now take comfort. Economy is within the reach of all, without hygientc cooking and almost without price. With a good business city administration, divorced from politics, we should not lack money for parks, hospitals or streets. & a ed — LT ANOTHER PROFITABLE OPPORTUNITY. “ cable to Hawall is absolutely necessary for public pur- poses and it ought not to be granted to a private corporation for private profit. In entering upon a career of expansion, where new ideas can be introduced in new conditions, the wisdom gained by -domestic experience should be utilized. We have learned that corporations enfoying public franchises are a prolific source of corruption. Let us get along without them, or if it is found more convenient to employ them, limit the possible return to a fair profit, all beyond that to go into the Treas- ury. This will remove all temptation to corrupt the public service. Outdoors and indoors, St. Louls’ big annual shows are the Greatest In the country, Everybody should be in 8t.

The question of libel was recently the subject of an exhaus- tive inquiry by the Incorporated Law Society of England, in the course of which the “champertous and illegal” contracts between unprincipled attorneys and men “whose character is hot worth twopence” are severely denounced. There is too much ground for this denunciation In this coun- try. It is safe to say that no well conducted newspaper ever ia guilty of willful and malicious libel. Misinformation some- times misleads even the best newspapers, but whenever a wrongful staterent is uttered a retraction Is cheerfully and promptly made: The cases of actual wrong are very rare. This ts acknowledged by all impartial meq, and lawyers Who irapect thenwelves and thelr profession®,o not take ad- s vantage of misstatements Innocently made and withdrawn. But there is a class of attorneys who lie in wait for such opportunities and enter into the “champertous” bargains de- nounced by the English society of lawyers. The view of reputable lawyers everywhere is expressed in the conclusion of the Incorporated Law'Society, and this practical formulation of it should prevail as the professional code. A number of violators of the Chicago smoke ordinance have fust been fined, some of them as high as $25. It is sreatly to be regretted that a law is necessary in any city to prevent the filthy smoke blanket which is so annoying and so costly in the laundry way. Public spirit alone ought to be strong enough to do away with the smoke nuisance. i A PUSH THE BARRACKS. In appointing a committee to push the plan to advance Jefferson Barraeks and to secure a Government supply depot in St. Touls the Business Men's League has acted wisely. There never was a better opportunity to’ secure the utiliza- tion of Jefferson Barracks which its advantages merit. ‘The enlargement of the army and the need of healthful and con- venient posts for the soldiers bring the Barracks to the fore- front. Having broken the inertia of the officials, which kept the TGarracks in practical disuse, St. Louisans should see that the advantage gained is not lost. As to a Government supply depot the lack of one in 8&t. Louis has been a matter of unprofitable discrimination on the part cf the Government. The arguments in its favor are unanswerable and they should be pressed to practical results. Push the Barracks. A physician is to be employed in the Chicago PostoTfice to prescribe for the employes and look after their health. He is to be a Government official with a salary of $1700 per an- num. His office will be in the Federal building. The idea is new, but has been approved and adopted by the department on the recommendation of the Postmaster, who thinks it will not only save money, but improve the efficiency of the service. i = = — sa The Swiss Government has reduced rates on the State rail- ways recently acquired to a very low figure. An annual ticket, non-transferrable, on which the holder may travel as much as he pleases, is sold for $115. This is cheap enough. Baggage, however, is not carried free.

Having read in the Post-Dispatch of last evening in regard to earache of a little child 10 years old. I wish to say that I have raised a large family. Many of my children suffered with earache. To cure {t I would roast a large onion, cut in half and put to the ear—not too hot, but as warm as the child could stand it—and relief wil] come within a few moments. MRS. MIXER. Coronado Beach, Cal. DO NOT BOX THE EARS.—Blows on the head of any eort are apt to be permanently injurious, and any one who as atudied hysiology, however superficially, will read- hy understand how easily a violent box on the ear may rupture the ear drum and perhaps produce incurable deafness. There are many such cases on record, and parents who do not understand the danger of such chastisement will do well to take heed and avoid it. COLORED SLIPS.—Dainty garments can be made for the baby by putting on delicate colored slips under dimity dresses, such as pale green, yellow, lavender, red, biue or pink Persian lawn. It is a yard wide and costs 25 cents a yard. The yoke of the dress may be trimmed with Swiss embroidery, with baby ribbon of a shade to match the slip run through it. This is an especially appropriate mode for a child of 3 or 4. TO SAVE TROUSERS’ KNEES.—This Is the season of marbles, and the small boys’ trousers and stockings suffer in conse- quence. Knee protectors are sold in all the stores, and may be easily made at home, They are simply diamond shaped proces of black cloth, made double and ound with braid on the edges, which cover the knees and are kept in plece by elastic straps passing under the knee. One ingen- lous mother makes knee protectors for her small boy from the tops of the stockings, hemming them at the bottom and running narrow elastic tape in the casing thus formed. This holds the knee protector in position below the knee. Above it the gar- ter retains and keeps it smooth. Many of the trousers sold for boys now come with pleces for mending. When this becomes necessary neither patch nor darn the knee. Instead rip both seams, cut the worn part off evenly and set the patch in carefully, taking care that the figures, whether Stripe, thread or check, match exactly. Then press the seam, and if your work is fone aon it will require a sharp eye to de- ec ; CHILDREN ANP WATER.—Most chil- dren lik+ to play in the water, and it is quite an art to teach them to do so with- out getting wet. There was Once a sen- sible mother whose small boy found in the hydrant, as so many emall boys do, a mag- net whose attractions no punishment could outweigh. She made him a water- proof garment—a sort of overall with sleeves—bought him rubber boots, and, thus protected, let him play in the water, only insisting that he must pas on his waterproof before going near the hydrant. No colds" were taken and no harm done thereafter, while watering the flowers and the grass plot became one of that small boy’s best beloved occupations. CARE OF A DELICATE CHILD.—"“A delicate child ghould not be fed more fre- quently than one of robust health,"’ wave the Ladies’ Home Journal. “In fact, the robust child would have greater power of endurance and could digest and cast off @ greater amount of food. The delicate child must have time to grow. and while he needs both fuel and muscle food for de- velopment, it must be given in small quan- tities—in fact, just enough for him to di- gest and assimilate. More than this would clog the machinery and probably upset the child. Do not change the food at every suggestion. Seek out and consult a gen- sible physician and follow carefully his out- line. The child born in a weak pbysical condition 1s likely to take twice as long to walk and to talk as an ordinary healthy child. S8o if your child at two vears old does not walk do not be discouraged, but keep right on giving him me hours of sleep. simple, east! digested ton and an abundance of fres r. Clothe him in warm, loose clothing.

Ji_Is Being Specially Prepared for Star Pointer, the King of the c _ Pacing Brigade. \ the Fair coming Already the mile course at Grounds is being prepared for the of Star Pointer. The runners are not allowed on the mile course these days, and ail the work being done by them is being done on the inner circle. On the big track a big roller is worked dally, and the soil is packing tight, and each day the track is faster than it was the day before. By Fair Week if the weather stays clear the track will be lightning ‘fast and the prospects of Star Pointer lowering his record will be first-class. : “All we need ja fair weather,” said Presi- Gent Robert Aull of the Fair Association yesterday, “and then you will see as perfect a racetrack as you ever looked at.” | Superintendent Sappington, who ‘s pre- paring the track, indorsed Mr, Aull’s state- ment, and with fair weather he will be a disappointed man should Star Pointer fail to equal or lower his great record of 1:59%. A pleasing tribute to the health-giving qualities of harness racing was brought out at Concord, N. H., Wednesday of last week, by the appearance in the sulky of a driver 92 years of agwe. His name is Charlies Taylor, hailing from White River Junction, Vt., and in the 2:12 pacing ciass at the Coneord Driving Park he drove the bay Although the horse did not Mr. Taylor's fauit. going at such speed! have noted as he of life. Walter gelding, Robert B. not win it was Think of a man 92 What ‘progress he muat oggead down the line ‘inans, the well known American genile- man now living in England, should have had this nonogenartan at his elbow when he wrote the {mportant chapter on pacing in the Encyclopedia of Sport. Taylor could tell him, probably, something about the earliest pacers, of which Mr. Winans says: ““The first pacing record which has heen preserved is in 1835, when Oneida Chief, chestnut. gelding, by Kentucky Hunter, dam unknown, went in 2:31." To think of 2:31 as a record when a man of $2 drives in the 2:12 pace! Of course, all know about Star Pointer’s 1:59%, and probably before the veteran driver of Vermont finishes his career on the turf that mark will be low- ered, a The heavy rains of last night may inter- fere with the races of the Gentlemen's Driv- ing Club, arranged to take place over the lorest Park course this afternoon. The ex-champion pacer, John H. Gentry, now heads the list of 2:44 stallions as a:sire of speed, having three in the list, with two of them inside of the 2:20 list. Jim Ramey, the latest and fustest of the trio, is appro- priately named after Gentry’s first driver. Direct, 2:051¢, has 10 2:20 performers to his credit, If the rule against hopples is enforced Next season there will be some very fast racers kept in the barn. Chehalis and Anaconda, the much-news- papered Pacific coast champions, were both defeated at Charter Oak Park by Frank Bogash, Planet and Bumps. The fastest heat was 2:044, made by Bumps. Directam Kelly, 2:08%, Caid, 2:09%, and Jupe, 2:10%, are illustrations of the fact that it does not alwayveeruin youngsters to trot them as colts. Caid captured a 2-year- old record of 2:22, a 3-year-old one of 2:141%, a 4-year-old one of 2:11 and 1s this year credited with a record of 2:09%4. Directum «Kelly as a 2-year-old went a mile in 2:23%, was let up on his 3-year-old career and is to-day the coming champion of the 4-year-old brigade. Jupe rested on his 2-vear-old laurels of 2:18% until he came out this year and cut his mark down to 2:10%. 7 Frank Frazier. the wealthy Oregon sheep herder and owner of Chehalis, stood the qucaee at the Buffalo meeting on their eads by declining to allow another driver to take his place behind the sensational pacer. To a friend in St. Louls Frazier graph- ically descrilfs the trouble between the judges and himself. ‘I lost,”’ he writes ‘the first and second heat at Buffalo, and then had a lively time with the judges. They were going to take me out of the sulky, and called for a driver. I told them it would not go. I would drive Chehalis or he would not go; they might rule me of, but at that no driver could drive him when I was out to win. They let me alone, and I took the next three heats and the race In 2:06%, 2:06 and 2:06. It was just a jog for me, and Ed Geers told me after the race that he believed Chehalis would be- fore long come close to the two-minute mark." John Condon Goes Blind.

Carr considered Black Venus a cast-iron, copper-riveted cinch, but she never got a call in the race, which was captured by the Hibernian-naeed Acushla, the joint prop- erty of ex-Corporation Counsel Clark and ex-Grand Sachem Dick Croker. “I am absolutely at a joss to account for the wretched showing of Mrs. Pepper's good filly,” said the genial Frank. “Black Venus won the Great Eastern handicap with such ease that I do not belleve seven pounds more could have stopped ber.

It is one of the mode! thoroughbred farms of the country and costs a mint of money to keep up. Burns & Waterhouse won $54,000 in stakes and purses during the winter campaign of 1897-98, but since then the earnings of the stable have been small. The partners are big losers on their racing and breeding investments and as a result are anxious to dispose of a number of their horses in tra ning and one half of the mares at their ranch. Green B.

Johnson eeems to have a better triplet team to furnish his pace than the St. Lou’s boy. Manroe, Bowler and Lawson: will get up for the famous record-breaker, while Fisher, Irons and David will probably pace McCarthy. There is one advantage in McCarthy's favor in that the triplets only carry the men four laps, leaving them to fight it out by themseives on the last lap. If McCarthy keeps with Johnson till the last fifth the chances are that he will lick the Minneapolis man. Charlie is taking Johnson game. at his own The start, which will be a flying one, favors Johnnie. He will ride a gear that is a trifie over 10), and when he gets it moving it is hard to stop.

The Browns could only find Lewis in the serond inning, when thev batted in the only two runs they made.

I have been bathing and drinking hot water at the Hot Springs, Ark., but it seemed everything failed to do me good. After I saw your udvertisement I thought I would try your pills, and have nearly used two boxes; been taking two at hedtime and one after breakfast, and they hate done me more good than anything else I have used. My trouble has been with the liver. My skin and eyes were all yel- low; I had sleepy, drowsy feelings; felt like a drunken man; ogy right above the navel, a MANION | as if it was blie on top of the stomach.

' | STOCKS ON ARISE FERIOD OF URGENT LIQUIDATION IN THE MARKET HAS BEEN PASSED. THERE IS NO LACK OF MONEY. Foreign Trade Statement Shows a Bal- ance of $35,000 in Our Favor and Bears Try to Cover. NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Evidence was forthcoming already on Monday that the period of urgent liquidation in the stock market was passed. The bears were able te prolong the depression by skillful at- tacks upon vulnerable stocks, Sugar being conspicuous in that list. Large demand from the bears to cover at the decline first Started the rise. The way in which prices were bid up suggested that there had been a quiet absorption of stocks at the low prices by interests sufficiently powerful to guard their holdings well. The subsidence of apprehension over the money market outlook made further post- ponement of the advance in prices impos- sible. There has been no notable easing of money rates, but fears for the future are entirely dissipated. A study of the statis- tics of the country’s increased circulation during the year and the August foreign trade statement, showing a balance in our favor of over $35,000, convinced careful ob- servers that there could be no real need of money in the country. Later came utterances by Treasury offi- Clals pointing out that the demand upon New York banks for payment .of Govern- ment loan subscriptions was about over. The Government’s deposits in national banks were also largely increased by rea- son of the newly issued bonds becoming available as security. With fears of tight money removed prices ef stocks and bands rebounded quite buoyantly, the Pacffle railroads and industrial specialties taking the lead. Net changes in the railways are te u 2 o © rae : , ap ‘. ae ES AGUINALDO ADMITS IN AN IN TERVIEW JUST HOW LIT- TLE HE KNOWS. IS AUSTRALIA IN AMERICA? This Is a Sample o: the Questions Asked by the Would-Be Dictator of the Philippines. MANILA, Sept. 17.—The Philippine N@& tional Assembly was inaugurated at Ma- lalos Thureday with great enthusiasm. There were thousands of visitors from the provinces and a great display was made. Aguinaldo, who was received with cheers and also with cries of “Vive America’ by the large crowd of natives inside and out- side the hail, read a decree convening the members, who included several Spaniards, He next read a message eulogizging the army. Continuing, panes urgently and elo- quently exhorted the assembly to “follow the noblest principles’’ and invoked the “spirits of the martyred Filipinos." The assembly then adjourned, The correspondent of the Associated Press had a private interview with Agul- naldo, who professed entire ignorance of the autonomous systems in vogue in the Britieh colenies, of protectorates and of American State autonomy. He said that he was unable to understand the .dea and oniy understood “absolute independence.” ” had not studied po.itical economy and knew nothing about the various forms of govern- ment. He inquired whether Austrailia was an American colony and said he had never heard of a Malay protectorate. Continuing, the insurgent leader said that there was 1.0 need of protection for the Philippine Islands, because the Filipinos were able to cope with any army. He ad- mitted that he had never eeen a forel army, with the ~_ oo of the garrisons at Hong Kong and Singapore, and he had never seen these troops on parade. Aguinaldo decl.ned to discuss the Ameri- can army and protested his undying grati- tude to the Americans. He said that they had come to the Philippines to fight the Spaniards oniy and, now that they had finished the task, it was to be expected that they would return to America. He was —S to believe that the Amert- cans would demand a reward for an act of humanity and declined to admit tne necessiiy of a quid pro quo. The Filipino leader expressed himself confident that the newly founded Govern- ment would build a navy ultimately. In the meantime, he said, the great nations should protect and aid a young nation in- stead of grabb:ng her territories. If the Americans sheuld refuse to withdraw, the national assembly, he said, must decidé the policy to be pursued—a policy which he declined to forecast. Further conversation was prevented by the etrains of a brass band, but Gen, Aguinaldo was interviewed also by a dozen American journalists and one Japanese, IRS. HASSE ASKS A WARRANT, V’ifc of the Ex-Policeman Claims She Has Been Beaten. Mrs. Catherine Hasse, wife of ex-police- man Emii Hagsee, tried Saturday afternoon to get a warrant against her husband fur assault and battery. Her request was taken under advisement. Mrs. Hasse told Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson that for three days her llege lord had been missing, which caused her on Saturday to try to ascertain hs whereabouts, She found him itn Cela‘s saloon,Twentieth and Pine streets, but in- siead of receiving a welcome received, as she alleges, a severe beating. She called in Officer Burke to take Hasse into cus- tody, but he declined. She threatens to sue for divorce. Haese was dropped from the force on Augurt 15 on the charge of entering @ house on Chestnut street when he should have been attending to beat duty. HEALTH OF THE SOLDIERS.

Fifth Infantry, at Santiago, Corporal Kempner’s company did not ge te Cuba until after all the fighting had been done, and it now forms part of the garrl- son at Santiago, Extracts from his letter are as follows: eaten what I cam learn there is no yellow fever bere now, and I do firmly believe that if men take proper care of themeel ves and don't eat any of the fruit here, there won t be mucb sickness, but at present we have ten meh is our company of 80 men In the hospital, mostly fever.

THERE 1S NO LACK OF MONEY. Foreign Trade Statement Shows a Bal- ance of $35,000 in Our Favor and Bears Tr7z to Cover. NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Evidence was forthcoming already on Monday that the period of urgent liquidation in the stock market was passed. The bears were able te prolong the depression by skillful at- tacks upon vulnerable stocks, Sugar being conspicuous in that list. Large demand from the bears to cover at the decline first started the rise. The way in which prices were bid up suggested that there had been a quiet absorption of stocks at the low prices by interests sufficiently powerful to guard their holdings well. The subsidence of apprehension over the money market outlook made further. post- ponement of the advance in prices impos- sible. There has been no notable easing of money rates, but fears for the future are entirely dissipated. A study of the statis- tics of the country’s increased circulation during the year and the August foreign } trade statement, showing a balance in our favor of over $35,000, convinced careful ob- servers that there could be no real need of money in the country. Later came utterances by Treasury offi- Clals pointing out that the demand upon New York banks for payment .of Govern- ment loan subscriptions was about over. ‘he Government's deposits in national banks were also largely increased by rea- son of the newly issued bonds becoming available as security. With fears of tight money removed prices ef stocks and bands rebounded quite buoyantly, the Pacffic railroads and industrial specialties taking the lead.

The police came and Brewer was removed to the dispensary and then to the City Hospital. The doctors found a com- pound fracture in his skull, a five-inch cut to the bone on the wrist and bruises of boot and bludgeon blows all over his body, each of a half dozen of them enough to in- flict dangerous iniernal injuries. There is scarcely any AOpe for him.

PCLICE HAVE TROUBLE DISPERSING THE CROWD. Bitter Feud Grown Out of Continued Insignificant Contests Between the Children cf the Two Races. There,was a fierce riot between whites and blacks Friday evening near Tenth and O'Fallon streets. Stones, revolvers and brickbats pierced the air and several of the combatants were painfully wounded Two policemen who arrived on the scene were put to flight by the maddened crowd. W'hen the policemen displayed their re- volvers the negroes laughed at them. Then ensued another conflict which resulted un- favorably to the disturbers. After swinging their clubs right and left for a few minutes the officers rendered three of the fighters powerless. When an attempt was made to arrest them a free-for-all contest followed and the prisoners escaped. Trouble has been brewing among the white and colored residents in the vicinity mentioned for some time. Only recently there was a terrific battle in what is known as “Cocaine” alley, in which three men were nearly killed. The colored population claimed their white brethren made sport of them. The engagement Friday, it appears, was provoked by two roane, fellows slapping the children of Charles Wade, colored, liv- ing at 1302 North Tenth street. Instantly there was a rumpus. “Go on, you white trash,” said Mrs. Wade, as she produced a flat iron in an- ticipation of trouble. Before she could use it a man struck her on top of the head. Three negro boys thereupon ran to ‘“‘Cocaine’”’ alley, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, to summon aid. They returned with Harry Jones, Mrs. Wade's husband and five other darkies. They carried missiles of offense and defense in their hands, and a few razors in their trousers. When they reached Wade’s housé« the whites were prepared for them, A volley of brickbats opened hostilities. ‘“Smash’”’ ‘bang’ was heard and the next second splintered glass and timber began falling on the sidewalk. Six windows in Mrs. Wade’s domicile were demolished. The succeeding incident was a loud pistol report. The shot was apparently fired in the air, as no one was struck and the opposing armies were within twenty-five feet of each other. The street cars were tempora- rily stopped and word was sent to the Fourth District Station. Policemen Richard and Stewart responded.

Innumerable Divorce Cases on the Usual Grounds of Desertion, ‘Drunkenness and Infidelity. Saturday fheing the last day for filing law suits returnable to the October term of the Circuit Court, there was a rush of lawyers in the Clerk’s office to get there on time. The docket of filings for October is a pe- culiar one in regard to the character of suits filed. Divorces Jed in numbers by a large per- centage, and they are nearly all of the Same character, cherging brutality, drunk- enness or desertion on the part of the hus- band, and desertion or infidelity on the part of the wife. There is an almost endless list of such cases on the October docket, many of which will drop off the books in the course of time, while others may develop domestic tragedies as yet unsuspected. The damage g6uits for personal injuries come next in point of numbers. hou- sands upon thousands of dollars are asked for by persons who have been crippled by accidents or who have lost relatives in the same way. The railroad companies, as usual, are the main ones sued, The filings are not as numerous as they were at the same term last year, and the lawyers are complaining because there is no “big’’ litigation, involving large inter- ests. William J. Klippel sued Annie Berg for possession of a lot of ground on Wiscon- sin avenue and $00 damages. Frederick Waydt wanted $10,000 from the Union Depot and the Missouri Railway Companies for injuries received in a col- lision at Twelfth and Market streets, March 30, 1898.

Bessie Schaeffer, the 13-year-old girl for whom the police have been searching since Monday, was discovered Friday morning at the residence of Dr. James Gibson, on the Bellefontaine road. O'Fallon Park lake was dragged for her body and the police, with her parents, have been exploring the entire country, from Fieldpoint to Baden. Several clews were followed up puf with- out result until Friday morning a Belle- fontaine farmer brought in word to the police station at O’Fallon Park that the child was at the home of Dr. Gibson. The yarents were at once notified. Their visit rought out the story of the girl’s myster- ious disappearance. She had been there since Tuesday. Sha would have been brought back to the city sooner had the physician found the requisite time. Last night Bessie related her adventures. Instead of going to school Monday she started out to the residence of her uncle, Samuel Sanders, on the Gravois road. Uu- familiar with the roads, she lost her way. She wandered about all day until a farmer to whom she confided her troubles took care of her for that night. Next morning she resumed her search, but got lost again. Asking for employment at Dr. Glbson’s she broke down and asked to be sent home. Thursday the doctor asked a neighbor to netify the police. The child offers no rea- son for leaving home.

VILLENEUVE was y COUNT AND IE SAYS HE IS WORTH #70,000. HE TOOK MORPHINE ONLY TO RELIEVE PAIN. fds A Note to Dr. Ussery Proves He Had No Intention of Committing Sui- cide and Never Dd Any Gambling in His Life. Ques Saturday morning found Celeste Ville- neuve, who was sent from the Lindell Hotel to the City Hospital, suffering from morphine poisoning—well enough to be highly indignant over a fanciful and dis- creditable story about him printed in the Globe-Democrat to-day. sae Villeneuve was nervous an Mot able to be up,, but he expects’ to be jwell enough to travel in a day or so, and says he will return to his home at Austin, Tex., with his, wife, who, he says, has telegraphed that she will come to 8S. Louis. Villeneuve is a plain looking man of 42 years, whose voice is soft and rather CELESTE VILLENEUVE. musical and whose manners are those of a well-bred Southern gentleman. Mr. Villeneuve was reading the Globe- Democrat account of him when a Post- Dispatch reporter visited him. He asked the reporter to finish reading the account, as the read with difficulty because of his eyes being weak. As the reporter read, Mr. Villeneuve commented indignantly on the falsehoods in the story. “The very first statement in which I am called Count Villineuve,’’ he said, ‘‘is un- true. I am not a Count and never was. The subsequent explanatory statement that my father paid $25,000 to the French Gov- ernment for the title for me is false. In the next line the paper says lI spent and gambled awey $250.000. I never had $250,000 in my life. My father left me $60,000 when he died, five years ago, and I have that now and $10,000 more. The nearest approach to gambling that I ever indulged in was the loss of $4400 in a grain speculation two years ago. “IT took morphine Thursday night to alle- viate a severe pain in my stomach. I had been suffering from neuralgia of the stomach and last Tuesday the pain became so intense that I went to Dr. Ussery, at the Lindell, for relief. He gave me a medicine which I took until Thursday night. It re- lieved m@ at first, but the pains returned eo severely late Thursday night that I again sought relief rom Dr. Ussery. 1 could not find him. Almost desperate from the pain, 1 went to a drugstore across the street and purchased 10 cents worth of morphine. I had never taken the drug and knew nothing about it. 1 had the clerk divide the amount into three’ parts, think- ing one of these would be a proper dose. **‘f took one of these in my room, but first I wrote Dr. Ussery a note telling him what I had done and why I did it. He will bear out my statements. That is the whole story of the morphine poisoning.
