All the officials are at work loss, The robbers spurned silver, probably as too heavy to carry, and several thousand dollars of the white metal was left scat- tered about the floor. The robbery was evidently committed by experts, whose work is pronounced by the safe experts who have examined the vault, been unusually clever. Entrance to the bank must have been forced early in the night, as the work could not possibly have been done inside of sev- eral hours. The safe was of more than ordinary thickness, and must long have re- sisted the best of drills. A hole was first drilled in the outer door of the safe, hut it shows no sign of having been blown. ‘The inner mechanism, it Is evident, was overcome by tools, something unheard of with thorities of this vicinity.

Lp > el Five Trainmen Killed and a Number Severely Injured, but Passengers Escape With- out Serious Wounds. ——_—_ 2o—__—_— WILKESBARRE, Pa., Nov. 11.—A heavy express train dashing down one of the steepest grades of the Pennsylvania moun- tains at thirty miles an hour, with use- less brakes and no power to save; another coming at rapid pace, with the straight track and no apparent fear: a collision at a curve and death, This {ic the story of wreck on the Lehigh Val- ley, near Newport Station, before daylight this morning. The bodies of five trainmen lie in Gebris; it is not believed that any of the passengers were seriously hurt. The killed are: WILLIAM TOXHEIMER, fireman, FRED GLASSER, fireman, JI. Cc.

The trains Were to pass on Wilkesbarre Mountain. The Buffalo Express was in charge of En- gineer Rohbling, one of the oldest engi- neers on the road, and one whose bravery had been proved by many acts only sur- passed by his courage and self-sacrifice to-day.

Many of these were thrown out of their berths by the shock. The engines and baggage and, express ears were piled up in a heap in the cut. The passengers rushed from the cars on hearing the cries of the injured trainmen in the wreck. It was almost impossible to render any assistance. Flagmen hastened to the nearest telegraph office and sent word to Wilkesbarre. A wrecking train with a number of phy- siclans and two clergymen were at once sent to the scene of the wreck. As soon as possible the dead and injured were taken from under the engine and cars, The train going east consisted of an ex- press car, combination baggage, one day coach and four Pullmans. The passengers were brought to this city and later a train was made up and sent over the ‘cut-off’ branch road. The road is completely blocked and will not be cleared for some hours. | CUULON'T LOSE EACH OTHER —_—_——_——- > —-----—" Edwin Moritz Eloped With a Kentucky (Girl.

That he ‘figured suc- cessfully on a matrimonial contract, which was not in his instructions from his office, love. Mr. Moritz may thank a badly dis- ordered liver for the prize he has won. Lust August Mr. Moritz was afflicted with a bad case of malaria. His friend, Mr. Wade H. Bush, who is employed in an ab- stract office on Nurth Ninth street, was also a sufferer from malaria. Mr. Moritz went to’ Michigan and Mr. Bush went to his old Kentucky home at Lancaster. Lancaster is only a few miles from Stanford, Miss Elkins’ home. After Mr. Moritz had been in Michigan a short time he telegraphed Mr. Bush: “Any malaria down there?” mes come down,” replied Mr. Bush, by wire, As quick as steam could carry him, Mr. Moritz traveled to Lancaster. Cupid had ar- ranged all this, of course, and Cupid carried out the programme with elaborate regard for appropriate detail. The very day Mr. Moritz reached Lan- caster, Miss Mary Elkin arrived there, to v.sit her cousins. Of course it was only a co- incidence to mortals, but to Cupid it was a well laid trap to snare hearts. From that time Mr: Moritz and Miss Elk.n, according to Mr, Bush, ‘“couldn’t lose each other.’’ The hazy air, the humming of birds and bees, the caressing breezes, the bursting flowers of that Kentucky Arcadia, are the natural accompaniments of love, and this wooing proceeded with all the joyousness and ease of the murmuring brook beside which the twain sat in sweet converse. No- body heard Mr. Moritz say anything about malaria after he arrived. The disease had done its work, and Cupid had no fur- ther use for it. Before Mr. Moritz’ vacation ended he had declared love and the maid had surrendered. They told her father and mother. These objected to the early marriage that Mr. Moritz asked, because of their daughter's vouth. The young people gave * seem.ng consent, and Mr. Moritz came to St. Louis, Nov. 2 he started for Cincinnati to figure on that contract. When he told his friend, Mr. Bush, good-by, the latter said laugh- ingly: ny belleve vou'll be a married man when you come back.” After the contract was figured on, Mr. Moritz went to Stanford, Ky. He wrote his friend Mr. Bush that he was there. Thursday the couple eloped to Jefferson- ville, Ind., and were married. It is not known when they will reach St. Louis. *““T have no doubt,” said Mr. Bush, “that 4ey have been forgiven and blessed. There’ was no real objection.

The other party (to the contract was Miss Mary Elkin of Stanford, Ky., a Blue Grass belle, whose fame for beauty, withal she is only 17, had spread over severzl counties. 7 The negotiations preceding the signing of the contract were short and impetuous, as befitting a high-spirited St. Louisan woo- inc a Kentucky girl. | They met in August and were married Thureday. In the language of Mr. Wade H. Bush, Miss Elkin’s cousin, “After they met they couldn't jose @ach other. The history of this courtship and mar- tage shows strikingly how Cupid uses the saant commonplace incidents of life to bring two hearts together. In this case it was malaria that led to her youth. I want to deny the report that Moritz was engaged to a girl in St. Louls. That is false. 1 can’t help regretting this hasty marriage, on my own account, be- cause I expected to be best man, and have lost that pleasure.” Mr. Moritz lives with his parents at 5885 Bartmer avenue, THE WEATHER FORECAST.

Joyfully she started to the grocery store about 9 o'clock Friday morning on an er- rand for her mother, proud because she was given the privilege of going shopping nlone, only to meet a cruel fate under the fender and wheels of Mound City electric car No. 425. Almost in front of her home, No. 1105 North Ninth street, the little girl was run down by the car before-the eyes of many women who are wont to congregate on the sidewalks in that neighborhood. In crossing the street Josie dropped a i- cent piece which she carried for buying pur- poses, and it fell in the soft mud. Motor- man W. E. Heady of No. 2109 North Jeffer- s0n avenue passed the Carr street crossing with brakes set, but started the car north- ward. It was.too late to stop the car on the Slippery track, and the child was knocked | down. Heady dropped the fender, but was unable to reverse the power, and the help- less girl was drawn under the motor. Misses Annie and Yetta Survinsky, sis- ters, who were in charge of the grocery at Ninth and Carr streets, towards which the unfortunate girl was headed, screamed to her to look out for the car, but their well-meant warning was fruitless. The little girl’s screams rent the air, as soon as she was struck, reaching her moth- er’s cars, and bringing to the spot hundreds of people whose sympathy went out to the child, whose curls were mixed with mud, whose blue eyes looked appealingly up- ward and whose pale face showed too plainly the shock she had sustained. Josie was curried into a near by drug store by Officers Lang and Healy. Dr. M. I. De Vorkin gave prompt attendance, rein- forced soon after by Dr. A. V. L. Brokaw. Both surgeons said that her recovery was hardly probable. The entire leg had been severed close to the hip and after their patient rallied somewhat she was sent to St. John’s Hospital in a carriage. Before the conveyance came a dozen Italian women crowded into the drug store and their wails .were pitiful. The child gazed blankly at her mother and relatives, conscious and not tearful. Some thought- fuf bystander gave her .a bag fuil of cookies and Josie clasped them to her side and ate one while her mother and sister bent over her in mute despair. “The motorman lost h‘s head when He saw the child’s danger and kept his car going forward instead of backing it up,” said Meyer Kaemens of 929 North High Street. “The women's screams seemed to get the motorman rattled”’ said M. Siegel of 1226 North Eighth street. Thomas O’Brien of 4150 Lexington avenue was the conductor. The mangled child is the daughter of Bart Gillardi, a fruit dealer. She was the youngest member of the family. IT 1S THE MARIA TERESA Wreckers Found the Warship Stranded on Cat Island. NASSAU, N.

His career is reiated in Chapter XVI to- day. SYNOPSIS PRECEDING CHAPTERS. (The Strange Courtship of Albért O’- Haver and the Widow Hudson, as Related by the Principals.) In December, 1895, Aibert O'tiaver was injured in a collision on the M., K. & T. at Texas Junc- tion. Noveinber, 1598, found him a conductot on the K. line, in love with Mrs. E. F.

O'Elaver ordered the goods sent to the Hudson home C, O. D. The wedding was to occur that night, but the goods did not come; they were held until O' Haver should pay tbe bill. The morning of the 3d O’Haver disappeared. The widow became hysteri- cal, and Dr. Otto [. Claus, 2625 North Ninth street, was called.

At 9 o’clock the next morning O' Haver walked in Dr. Ciaus’ office, but Dr. Johnson did not come.

Nov. 11.—The Heraldo this morning asserts that the Spanish Govern- ment has resolved to maintain Spanish sovereignty in the Philippine Islands, and that it has been suggested that Iemperor William of Germany, who is expected to visit Cadiz and Madrid soon, on his way back to Germany from the Holy Land. be asked to arbitrate the question in dispute between Spain and the United States in the event of the peace commissions of the respective countries now in session in Paris failing to come to an agreemen* upon the terms of the proposed treaty of peace.

Mo., Nov. 11.—The Re- publican city administration is revenging itself on the negroes for their generous support of the Democratic ticket in this city by ousting all the colored men in the employ of the city. Even Nelson Crews, the famous colored orator, it ts said, is to be dropped as Clerk of the Police Court, or at least his position will be made so uncomfortable that he will be glad to quit. County Chairman Charles Yost, who is also City Assessor. is perhaps the sorest man at the City Hall. * “The negroes be damned,” said Yost. ‘ ; bi aa sh a .

The Republican party owes them nothing from now on.” Last year Mr. Yost had negroes employed for several months at $3 a day making the assessment. He is selecting white men ex- clusively to do this year’s work. Superintendent of Streets Sloan laid off his negro clerk, L. W. Spencer, and every negro street sweeper yesterday. Auditor Cecil will drop his negro deputy, James Cole. MAY DISFRANCHISE THE BLACKS Democrats Also Contemplate Impeach- ment of Gov. Russell. WASHINGTON, Novy. 11.—Senator Butler (Pop.) will give place to a Democrat as a result of the overturn in North Carolina. The Legislature is controlled by the Demo- crats, and Butler will be retired. Josephus Daniels, the Democratic National Commit- teeman from North Carolina, is prom.nently mentioned for the place. The Legislature gph, | gone heavily Democratic, it is mot unlikely that Gov. Russell will be impeached. This, it is thought, will certainly be done if the re- quisite two-thirds Democratic majority be returned Meantime a constitutional amendment dis- franchising negroes will, it_is believed, be submitted to the people of North Carolina. ‘STILL HUNTING THE NEGROES. South Carolina Election Trouble Has Caused Probably Seventeen Deaths. GREENWOOD, 8S. C., Nov. 11.—Eight ne- groes are known to have been killed at Phenix in two days as the result of a race riot precipitated there on election day by the killing of Mr. Etnriage, a prominent white man. For miles around the country is alive with armed white men searching for partia- ipants in the murder of Ethridge. Suspect- ed negroes have been shot down and their bodies left lying where they fell until their friends or relatives get a chance to give them burial. Many others are missing, and it is believed they are dead in the woods. The general opinion here is that g2 to 15 negroes have been killed and a large number wounded. Two white men, it is believed, will die as a result of their wounds. The list of Known dead and wounded is as follows: J. L. Ethridge, white; killed at the polls. Thomas Tolbert, white; mortally wound- ed. Wade Hampton McKinney, negro; dead. Jesse Williams, negro; dead. Drayton Watts, negro; dead. “Lum” Jackson, negro; dead. Essex Harrison, negro; dead, Ben Collins, negro; dead. Sidney Tolbert, white, 15 years old; dan- gerously wounded. John R. Tolbert, white, Collector of the Port of Charleston, and chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee; wounded. Stuart Miller, white; mortally wounded. ee Fleming, white; shot in the shoul- er, M. J. Younger; wounded. Cleave Armstrong, white, who tried to protect the negroes; wounded, Essex Harrison, who, it is said, admitted having been with the party o negroes which killed Ethridge, was yesterday marched down the road by 15 men to the woods where the bodies of four negroes had laid in a pile from the preceding day, and was riddled with bullets just as’ he reached them, his body falling on those who had died ahead of him. John R. Tolbert, Collector of the Port at and Joseph Tolbert have left uietly and are going to Charleston. eed Tolbert has gone to Greenville. Ezra Tolbert is quartered with friends. His son was shot, and this fact, together with the plea that he is a non- artisan, has nine children and a good Yemocratic wife, has saved him from death. A committee waited on J. W.

Tol- bert, the father of all the men figuring t[n the Phenix affair, and his son Joe are in this city. Albert Tolbert’s body is cov- ered with wounds. Prompt arrest and the securing of his incarceration tn the State Prison for the present has probably saved his life. Word has been received in Columbia from Phoenix to hoid John R. -Tolbert and his son, Sidney, who are in the penitentiary there. -The telegram says that affidavits implicating the Tolberts in the recent race troubles are on the way to Columbia and it is now believed that it {is the intention to bring the Toiberts back to Phoenix City. If this is done, it is feared further trouble will result, although leading citi- zens are deprecating any further violence.

CARLINVILLE, I1l., Nov. 11.—That the Virden riot will be thoroughly probed is now manifest. Over 100 witnesses have been subponaed by the grand jury and as the evidence discloses other persons who were connected with or know anything of the affair writs summoning them to appear are at once issued. There are new legal moves on foot in which the Chicago-Virden Coal Company. the miners, through their attorneys, and the C. & A, Railroad figure. There is no telling where it will all end. The coal company seems determined to indict every striker implicated in the battle. On the other hand Attorney Mooney, for the strikers, declares that President Loucks, Manager Lukens and Agent York of the coal] company are guilty of conspiracy to commit murder. ‘ The grand jury is moving slowly thoroughly, and it is confidently expected that between the pressure brought by both sides the State will be enabled to get at the truth.

The shrieks of the baker brought the police to the spot, and Schnei- der was overpowered. The bakehouse presented evidence of a frightful struggle having taken place there. It was splashed with blood and strewn with tufts of hair.

When O’ Haver revisited the store Thursday after- noon he said he would return promptly at 3 o’clock w.th the money, but the afternoon passed and he did not come. Friday morn- ing they gave him another chance, but he did not come, and orders were then given to replace the goods on the shelves. All of the beautiful gowns came out of their Silken folds in the boxes and went back to their cases; the capes and cloaks and the and the hundred and one things a Wuman so loves came sailing out df the varcels labeled, “Mrs. E.

All Friday O’Haver did not call at the store. He was as lacking in punctuality as the mysterious Dr. Johnson. CHAPTER XVI. The Mystery Cleared. Atl o’clock Friday afternoon the Post- Dispatch received a dispatch from Han- mbal, Mo., that gives the record of Mrs. Hudson's flance. The message reads: O'Haver was arrested, prosecuted and sent to the peatton tary in Illinols before the officers of Hannibal had an opportunity to arrest him. He came to Hannibal over (wee years ago and being a cousin of Chas. O Haver, who was at that time auditor for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway Company, he obtained a suit of clothes from Little, Dave & Sam's clothing store by false statements. He told the clothiers that Charles O’Haver had sent him there «td would pay for the suit. He then went into another store and stepping to a telephone told Dave & Sam that he was Charles O‘Haver and for them to let Albert have the clothing on his credit. They did.so and did not dectect the fraud for two weeks. In the meantime O’Haver went to Pike County, Ill, obtained money from Condue- tor Steve Ryan of the Wabash under false pretenses. He cut a wide swath in Pike Cotfity. hired fine rigs and-obtained mone in various ways. He was finally arrested, prosecuted and sentenced to the Illinois nitentiary for a term of three years. He s well connected by family ties, but is a black sheep in the flock. When he came to Hannibal he represented himself as being a conductor on the Wabash but it was as- eertained that he had never been in the employ of that company. His relatives in Hannibal ignore him.

BUT INDICATIONS ARE AGAINST THIS CLAIM, a ee It Will Require Official Returns From Eight or Ten Ccngressional Dis- tricts to Determine the Exact Strength. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—It will require official count in eight or ten congres- sional districts to determine the exact strength of each party in the next Con- gress. The Democrats do not concede that the Republicans will be in control, but the indications to-day are that that party will have asmall majority over all opposition— possibly $ to l4, Chaisman Babcock of the Republican Congréssional Committee has practically completed a list of the Representatives- elect to the lfifty-sixth Congress. The lat- est authentic advices received by the Re- publican committee indicate that two dis- , tricts are in doubt yet, viz: The Second , California and the Twelfth Texas. In both, | however, Mr. Babcock concedes that the ' chances are favorable to the Democrats, He claims neither of them. Babcock’s figures show the election of 18 straight Re- publicans 163 -Democrats, 6 Populists and one Silver Repubiican. These figures do not include the two doubtful districts men-° , tloned.

Little information of ae definite nature has been received to-day by the Democratic (‘ongressional Committee.

Croker Explains Why the Democrats Lost New York. NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—‘It was Roose- /velt’s war record that etected him. The ‘chief cause of Van Wyck’s defeat was the popularity of the soldier candidate. Had Roosevelt run for Governor a day after he returned from Cuba ‘he would have been elected by 100000 majority. Had the elec- tion been held a week later he would have been defeated by 2,00.. If Adm_ral Dwey ran for Président of the United States to- morrow on the Democratic ticket he would carry every State in the Union. Had Ad- miral Dewey opposed Roosevelt as the Democratic candidate for Governor the Re- publicans would have been overwhelmed.”’ The above is Boss Croker’s explanation of the e.ection in New York. “The Democracy of Greater New York,” said Mr. Croker, ‘never did better. It gave 84, 0 majority to the ticket. Flower was elected Governor when it gave only 49,000. Hiili himself when a candidate never car- ried the territory by any such vote. The success of Capt. Chanler over Quigg illus- trates the popularity of the soldier candi- date. He won in a d@iaetrict that was Re- publican by 11,000 and carried it by a hand- some majority.” “What else have you to say in regard to the conduct of the campaign outside of the city ?’’ “Tl had nothing to do with the campaign outside of New York. The rest of the State was in charge of the State Committee and others. As to what they did I have nothing to eay.”’ Richard Croker has arranged to sail for England Saturday on the steamer Cam- pania.

Warrier B TOWNSEND ROSLYN, L. I., Nov. 11.—It is a race now between life and death at the little house in Roslyn where Mrs. Harriet Byron Town- send lives with her granddaughter, Mrs. Alexander Kilpatrick, cared for by her own daughter, Mrs. Hastings. If the aged lady survives until Nov. rounded out the 102d year of her life. But Mrs. Townsend is failing very fast. Day by day she slips further away from life. Until a year ago everything in life interested her. Since that time the breaking up of the physical machine has been so rapid that each day seems to make a difference in her strength. “I don’t see why I have lived so long. I don’t see why I am left living,’” mourns the old woman, as aimost blind, hardly able to catch a tone of her daughter’s voice, and shut off by failing faculties from in- tercourse with those about her, she sits for hours propped in her old-fashioned arm- chair or rests on her couch. In the last few weeks nothing interests her. No desire even for delicacies moves her. A bird-like appetite is easily appeased. Sundays she recognizes from the lack of haste about her in the household. Then she repeats to herself the litany and pray- ers of the Episcopal Church, into which “Loo long, too long,’’ she murmurs, when her approaching birthday is spoken of. Mrs. Townsend’s life has been very un- eventful. When its important events are asked for, her two marr:ages are suggested as its most momentous occurrences. ADp- yarently they were, for all her life has een passed in the duties of a housewife. She has never kept domestics in her family and for more than seven decades her first thought was housekeeping. Her second husband lived to be over 90 years old. It is only since his death eight years ago that she has been unequal to taking care of herself. Five years ago she came to Roslyn, and now is finishing her life in almost a etrange place. “It’s a sad thing when a woman lives to be so old and «66 helpless and life is worth so little.’ moans Mrs. Townsend. MRS. GLADSTONE’S MISFORTUNE. LONDON, Nov. 11.—The American friends of Mr. Gladstone will hear with regret that his estimable and beloved widow jis no longer mistress of Hawarden Castle, and that this historic residence will not in future be her home. There has been a con- siderable amount of friction and unpleas- antness in the Gladstone family since the old statesman’s death, mainly in connec- tion with the disposition of his estate and in the control of the rg 2 f bad feeling being engendered in the minds of the sons and daughters of Mr. Gladstone by the altered position in which the widow of his oldest son--Mrs. Willam Henry Gladstone~— has been placed by his death. It is proba- ble that henceforth and for the remainder of her days the elder Mrs. Gladstone will make her home in London with her son Hubert, and be cared for and nursed by her daughter Helen. 27 she wiil have | PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11.-Mrs. Jane A. Smiley arrived here this morning from her home in Schenectady, N. Y., the $5000 worth of jewelry that she lost in the Broad Street Station Oct. 7. The de- tectives of this city and of all the large cities of the country had looked more or less diligently for them during the past month. The finder of the jewels is Mrs. Sarah Jamison, who lives at the home of her son, at Ardmore, Pa. After a shopping trip to this city on the day in question, she was returning home with a few parcels in @ small brown satchel. She sat waiting for her train several min- : it was called | did | utes and got ont.

But her surprise was nothing then com- pared with what it was when she opened the strange satchel. a { w toilet articles, her eyes fell upon @ dazzling array of jewels. Here is a list of them: Large breastpin, with cluster of pearis; diamond and sapphire ring. Two opal and. dia- mond rings, three-stone diamond ring, tur- quoise and diamond ring, sapphire and dia- mond ring, pair of solitaire diamond ear- rings, opal stickpin, gold-bar breastpin, with diamonds; knot chatelaine.

She | know what todo with the gems, and in her ignorance of the ways.of the world she feared that she would be suspected of theft | if she toid the police or took the bag back to the railroad station. So she’ kept the matter to herself and the precious articles locked up in her bu- reau. Meanwhile the matter weighed heav- ily upon her mind, and finally she appealed to a prominent manufacturer at Wayne Junction. who had been a friend of her hueband's. This gentleman was greatly surprised at her keeping the valuables so long and ad- vised her to go to Captain of Detectives Miller and tell her story.

HERR WOLFF WORSTS CHEVALIER DE GNIEWOSZ. LATTER'S HEAD CUT TO THE BONE AND ONE HAND AL- MOST SLASHED OFF. THE COMBAT CAUSED BY RACE HATRED. Editor Wolff Had Denounced the Poles as a Swarm of Frarasites, Sucking the Life Blood of the Aus- trian Nation. Special Cable to the Poa«t-Di«enatrch. LONDON, Nov. 11.—The Vienna corre- spondent of the Mail telegraphs: A fierce quel between the notorious Herr Wolff and the Polish Deputy, Chevalier de Gniewosz, is the talk of the city. The cause of the duel was Wolff’s remark on Tuesday’s sitting of the Reichstag that the Poles are a swarm of parasites sucking the lifeblood of the Austrian nation. This in- sult roused the anger of the Polish Dep- uties, who rose as one man and made for Wolff. The latter was quickly surrounded by a ring of German Deputies and a sharp tussle ensued between the representatives of the two nationalities, in the course of which Wolff was badly knocked aDBout by the Poles. When the storm subsided De Gniewosz declared, in benalf of the Polish party, that it repudiated with scorn the “insults of a street cad like Wolff.”’ Wolff immediately challenged De Gnie- wosz. The latter selected swords, and the duel was fought under life and death condi- tions. Wolff, a journalist by following, is ‘short, slightly built and lame in one leg. De Gniewosz is tall and stout. He former- ly was an Officer. When the word of command was given the two Deputies began a furious combat, thrusting and parrying with a rapidity which was bewildering. De Gniewosz, carried away by rage, di- _ Tected blow after blow at his adversary. | Wolff parried the ex-officer’s wild on- slaughts with cool judgment, and within 'five minutes caught his rival off his guard and wounded him in two places. De Gniewosz’s head was cut to the bone, while a part of his right hand was hang- ‘ine by the skin. But in spite of his seri- ous injuries and the umpire’s command to cease, De Gniewosz followed his ad- versary, slashing at him savagely, until his own seconds seized and. disarmed him. He was removed to his house; where he | will be confined several weeks. Wolff sauntered to his office and a leading article for his newspaper nouncing the Poles.

At times I would feel well enough, and other times was miserable. So ft went on until last October, I felt something terrible creeping over me, I knew not what, but kept getting worse. I can hardly explain my feelings at that time. I was so depressed in spirits that I did not wish to live, although I had everything to live for. Had hys- teria, was very nervous; could not sleep and was not safe to be left alone. ‘* Indeed, I thought I would lose my mind. Noone knows what I endured. ‘*] continued this way until the last of February, when I saw in a paper a testimonial of a lady whose case was similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta- ble Compound, I determined to try it, and felt better after the first dose. I continued taking it, and to-day am a well woman, and can say from my heart, ‘Thank God for such a medi- cine.’”’ Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering women to write to her at Lynn, Maes., for advice.

Then follows Shafter’s dispatch to Adju- tant-General Corbin on July saying San- tiago could be taken in a few hours if Sampson would force an entrance. If the army: alone was to do it, he would require 15,00) troops. Gen. Miles says that, on re- ce_pt of these communications, it was de- cided that he should immediately go to Santlago with re-enforcements. He pur- osed landing on the west side of the har- r to open the entrance and take the Span- ish in the rear. Then follows the details of the negotia- tions for surrender of the Spaniards con- ducted by Miles. The General then goes on to say that, after ekamining the entire portion of the siding along the trenches from right to left, he returned to Gen. Shafter’s head- quarters. Before reaching that point he re- ceived the following cablegram from Wash- ington in reply te his of the evening be- fore: WASHINGTON, D. C., July 11, 1898.—(Received 2:45 p. m.)—Maj. Gen. Miles: You may accept surrender by granting parole to officers and men, the officers retainig their side arms. The officers and men, after parole, to retura to Spain, the United States assisting.

Then follows the story of the Spanish surrender, after which Miles gave orders for the separation of the fever-infectea troops, Included in these orders is a tele- gram from Secretary Alger, dated July l4, as follows: The conditions are such, on account of yellow fever, I have ordered all further shipments of troops to Santiago to cease. We are pow arrang- ing transportation for 25,000 men to Porto Rico. As soon a8 matters are settled at Santiago, I think you had better return, and go direct with the expedition. Yellow fever breaking out in camp at Santiago will, I fear, deprive you of the use of our forces there. However, can be determined later. As soon as Santiego falls, the troops musi all be put in camp as comfortably as they can be made, and remain, I suppose, untill the fever has had its run. It is the difficult problem to solve, but we are sure you and Gen. Shafter, with the aid of the surgeons in charge, will do all that can be done. Gen. Miles replied that he had anticipated the advice as to the troops and wouid consult with Sampson as to rendezvousing the troops at Porto Rico or an adjacent island. He also telegraphed Gen. Henry, at Siboney. and Admiral Sampson that the enemy had surrendered. He added that there was some delay in the final capitula- tion, owing to disagreement over the dis- position of the Spanish small arms. teturning to Siboney, which he parti- ally burned, he received this dispatch: July 16—Gen. Miles: They surrender. SHAFTER. Ufon which he sent renewed congratula- tions and gave further instructions as to the care of the troops, including some rec- ommendations by Chief Surgeon Greenleaf and other medical officers. He a:iso di- rected Gen. Shafter to make dally reports to hendquartere of conditions. This mess- age called forth the following exchange of telerrams: » SIBONEY, July 17.—Gen.

It eeems, from your orders given me, that you regard my force as part of your command.

I wili furnish the information called for as to condition of command to Gil- more, Adjutant General, army headquarters. SHAFTER, Major-General. In reply to Gen. Shafter's telegram Gen. Miles sent the following message: Headquarters of the Army, Playa del Este, July 18.—4en. Shafter: Te’egram received. Hare no desire, and have carefully avoided any appearance of superseding you.

Four of the men arrived at the Exchange Hotel here to- gether and two others came about an hour later and inquired for the first four. Each had large revolvers.

PAUL, Minn., Nov. 11.—The Great Northern Express Co., whose local safe was blown open in the train held up last night by masked robbers, near Ae mg Falls, to- day offered a reward of $5000 for the arrest and conviction of the robbers. The express Officlals say the loss was very small, the safe not conta‘:ning money. The train passed through Fergus Falls at 7:30 p. m. Two of the robbers evidently boarded the blind baggage. The train was scarcely out of town when these two climbed over the tender, and presenting revolvers, told Engineer Brace and his fireman to stop at a lonely spot near the Pelican River bridge. At this place the engineer and fireman were compelled to leave the cab. The other members of the gang rushed from the woods and boarded the express car. All wore handkerchiefs over their faces. The gang was regularly organ.zed and went by numbers. When the tra.n stopped the conductor and brakeman started forward to find out what the trouble was, but the banadits fired a number of shots and warned them to keep back. They then compelled the express messenger to leave the car, and while three or four stood guard the others proceeded to blow the safes. The through safe wes drilled and dyna- mited, four charges being used. The jacket was blown off, but it was found .mpossible to reach the inner part and get at the cash.

With the New York Legislature Republican, the election of Chauncey Depew to the Senate seems pretty well assured. Mr. Depew will nominally represent the State of New York, but really he will be an agent of the Vanderbilt interests and allied corporations. Whenever a question arises between the public good and the Vanderbilt millions the Senator from New York will not be found on the popular side. The Senate is on the toboggan slide. There are a few members who cling to the majestic tradition of that body, some who feel themselves responsible to the people for the honest dis- charge of the trust committed to them. But for the most part special interests have their attorneys on the floor, and if the general good is consulted it is because for the moment the special interests see no profit in neglecting it. The Senate is thoroughly Hannaized. Tuesday's scratchers did not win, but they have the satis- faction of knowing that they did their duty as citizens. De- serving success is nearly as good as achieving it. ~@¢¢ POLITICAL AND FINANCIAL COMBINATIONS. [tis announced with considerable show of bravery that the Washingto.u Government will not be frightened by any com- bination of European governments, but will press the Philip- pine question to ua settlement as a purely American matter. Perhaps sa; the political influence of a European combina- tlon need not be greatly feared by the American republic. But the combination of financial agents is to be reckoned with, and experience does not justify any great hope that the McKinley Administration can stand out against pressure from the banking houses of Morzan, Ickleheimer, Rothschild and the Barings. They are determined to save the debt of Spain and will shift as much of it as they can to the United States, calling it “purchase nwney” for the Philippines or some other fine name. Are the American people ready to save Spain’s “honor” by Paying $150,000,000 for islands they do not want, at the dicta- tion of a financial syndicate? ee ee ee, Lh ha hip —" The State of Illinois and the United States should act to- gether in preventing the flow of Chicago’s enormous filth into the Illinois and the Mississippi. = = ANTI-CIVIC OBSTRUCTION. The continual disagreement of the Board of Public Improve- ments and the City Council in regard to a new lighting ordi- nance makes it almost certain that the city’s interests will be Sacrificed in making the new contract. The Board insists that a five-year contract is too short. Yet St. Paul, Minn., is getting its lighting done on a one-year con- tract, and paying only $69.50 per arc lamp for all-night serviee, while St. Louls pays $74.95. There are other cities—Erie, Pa., Lock Haven, Pa., and Herre Haute, Ind.—that have five-year contracts and pay less for all-night arc lamps than St. Louis. The City Council claims that the present form of contract is Satisfactory, and some of the councilmen want to confine the bidding to St. Louls companies, which may not he conducive to St. Louis’ interests. The Board should submit a short term contract, with such reasonable provisions as are necessary, and the Municipal AB8- Bembly will alone be to blame for obstructing the lighting of the city under conditions Satisfactory to for selling out the city to a monopoly. the citizens, or "= — >. i i Co].

"The Coming War, - a * tears Economical and Political Aspects.” The author is a Wareaw banker and a writer of note on political subjects. E After drawing a grewsome picture of the horrors of the next great war, the banker-author goes on to recommend a. se duction of armatnents without disturbing the relative strength of the nations. ‘If the relative strength remaing the same,”’ he says, “it matters little what the absolute forces of each country are. Therefore, they might all be divided by any given number—the greater the better—without giving the least advantage to any one.” He further recommends a Supreme Court of Arbitration, whose decisions shal! be fina! All this is agreeable to reason, common sense and humanity and no doubt will make a due impression upon the public mind of Europe. If the dream is not immediately realized a step forward will be taken. But more than this cannot be expected. Selfish interest lies at the base of politics whatever politicians may eay. Interest makes short work of reason common sense and humanity, especially when it is backed bys power. Now it is the essence of power to enlarge itself.

It is to be regretted that St. Louis is without an adequate free library building, but the conclusion that neglect alone and not opposition defeated the tax proposition in Tuesday's elec- tion is not justified by the facts. The vote for the tax Was 42,421; that against the tax was 24,. 693. The total vote cast on the tax proposition was 68,114. Two- thirds of this number ig 45,408, so that it will be seen that the tax not only fell far short of the two-thirds of the total vote cast In the election, but that it failed to receive two-thifds of the vote cast on the tax proposition. If the whole vote on the election had been cast on the tax proposition in the same percentages as the ballots actually cast, the tax would have been defeated. The favorable vote would have lacked severa] thousand of a two-thirds majority. Friends of the Hbrary building movement should not blind themselves to existing conditions and to the difficulties in the way of a realization of their plans. The vote clearly indicates a sufficient opposition to defeat the measure. It is based upon several] causes. One is the view of many citizens that the city should first secure adequate char- itable institutions before investing a million or two in a li- brary building. Another is strong opposition to any increase of taxation until the millions now collected in taxes are economic- ally applied to the city’s needs. A large portion of the people have come to the conclusion that much of the money turned into the city is squandered and stolen and that not only is fresh taxation unnecessary, but that it is designed to provide larger opportunities for extrava- gance and dishonesty. This may be unreasonable tn connection with the new library proposition, but in view of the conditions existing in our mu- nicipal government, it is natural, and is hard to eradicate. Public distrust of tax propositions is profound. Reform and retrenchment in ordinary municipal expenditures would not only provide better adequate accommodations for the charitable institutions, but would prepare the public mind for fresh taxes required for the library and other public im- provements, It is doubtful if they can be secured without radi- cal reforms. ee ———— + All humane people will wish success to the proposed indus- trial farm for children.

Lee would be withdrawn from Cuba. It is clear that only popular pressure caused the President to finally consent to the rescue of Cuba. When Mr. McKinley marched into the White House he dropped Chauncey Depew outside the breastworks. The fact may prove something of an inspiration to the great after- dinner orator when he speaks to-night at the Miles banquet. = = * New York and Washington have the underground trolley system and Chicago may have it before it is adopted in St. Louis.

The election of Pingree by a heavy majority is a fiy In the Republican ointment. Pingree’s ideas of equal taxation are not at all in accord with the views of the controlling element of the party.

The attitude of Chicago in fostering public libraries has been so different, thelr importance has been so fully recognized and their support So cordially given, that the refusal of a citv like St. Louis to provide such an in- stitution for its people seems incomprebeu- sible.

The flower show. like the society which ie expected to attend It, will have on its best clothes Friday evening. The Florists’ Club arranged to have Fri- Gay night for the entertainment of the @emart set when they fixed up the pro- gramme, and exhibitors have saved many of their choicest offerings for the tables Friday. : The feature that will prove most at- tractive to-night will be the awarding oi the liberal prize for the best decoratea table, There will be half a dozen of these tables in competition, and the feature wil e new for flower shows in St. Louis. Messrs.

L. H. Reisig, who is a regular attendant at the St. Lou's Flower Shows and who is in charge of Nathan Smith & Son’s exhibits from Adrain, Mich., reached 8St. Louis Thursday evening and will compete for the big chrysanthemum prize Friday night.

This was artially covered with snowy doylies and raycloths. Not all of the polished surface Was covered. Then handsome silverware and. sparkling pieces of cutglass were ar- fTanged on the table, which was being 6pread for a course dinner. The table was a dream before a single posy was placed on it. After the decorations were finished no pen nor artist’s brush could do it jus- tice In attempting a description. The color scheme for the table ts yellow and pink. The center vase is of yellow or- chids, the Oncidium Flexnosum. This vase is set in a bed of royal ferns which the florists call Odianu! Farlense. At either end of the table ts a vase of pink orchids, the Dendrovien Philanopsis. hese are set in fleur de lis of ferns and the fern beds are sprinkled with lily of the valley, giving @ snow effect. Worked in among the ferns and. lily of the valley and the Syperpidium, @ beautiful pink orchid with its matchless waxlike bloom. The table is lighted with a dozen tall wax candles, in handsome silver stands, covered with yellow silk shades. This sheds a soft yellow light over the table and produces a beautiful effect. The regular flower show tables have on thejr choicest clothes to-day. The 4 splays of chrysanthemums are especially fine. A. F. Bauer. who has charge of E. G.

It is Mrs. H. Weeks and Mrs. Jérome Jones are his favorite whites. Silver Cloud is a pink and yellow and is as de.icate in its coloring as is a sunset rose. The Sunstone is his bronze offering, while he relies on the Nyanza for his red. Mr. Reisig is just from Indianapolis, where the Flower Show is in progress. He was surprised at the big improvement made by the St. Louis florists over former years, His Western King, his leading white mum, is only about half grown and if left uncut for two weeks longer would reach perfec- tion. Mr. Reisig says the vases used here for big displays of mums are too small and too much of the follage is lost in crowd- ing them tn the vases. The roses are not going to allow the mums to bear all the honors and their choicest representatives will adorn .the tables to-night. Nearly every exhibitor will have a vase of American Beauties. The Kaiserina Victoria Augusta, another beauty will be on hand. So will the Bride- maid, La France and others. Mrs. Vesey’s roses and carnations took every premium for which they were entered yesterday. For the four best roses her Bridemaid, Bride, Pear and Meteor were easy winners. Mrs. Vesey’s Jupiter car- nations.are wonders. Thursday night a handsomely dressed young woman ap- proached the carnation table. She admired the beauty first and then leaned over and inhaled the fragrance. The odor was al- most overpowering. She asked one of the attendants what perfume was_ used give so strong an odor and how ces there. The querry pleased Mrs. ‘esey, who replied that if she could make such a perfume as Jubilee gave out freely her fortune would be made. There is no objections to spectators smelling the car- nations but they must not touch them, HE LOST HIS SISTER, ————._-— HERMANN SALIN, LATE OF HAM- BURG, IN GREAT DISTRESS AT UNION STATION, WEPT AND TOLD HIS STORY.

WHY THE WAR WAS BEGUN. An Argument to Show It Was Inevit- able and That England Saved This Country From European Interference fHion. WHannis Taylor, former United States Minister to Spain, lectured before a large and distinguished audience at tie University Club Thursday night. He spoke briefly but concisely on the Cuban question and the attitude of this country towards Spain in the peace negotiations. The address was highly interesting and frequently punctured with enthusiastic ap- plause. Mr. Taylor prefaced his remarks with the statement that he had been induced to stay over one night in St. Louis at the iIn- vitation of George D. Markham of the Uni- versity Club. “TI was in St. Louis but once before,” said Mr. Taylor, ‘‘and that was a great many years ago. I had been informed that Edward Freeman, the great English scholar and historian, was to deliver an address in this city. I had read his works and was more than anxious to personally interview the author, whom I had never seen. ‘Upon arriving here I found Freeman in the auditorium of the Museum of Fine Arts. He was rehearsing for his lecture. He had a:red handkerchief around his neck and was in anything but elaborate costume for public exhibition. He accepted my advice to appear in a spiketail coat and a shining white linen ehirt.’’ Mr. Taylor declared the war with Cuba was not because Spain had oppressed the Cubans, nor. as many intelligent persons seem to think, because of the Maine, but as the result of causes beyond the control of any human power. He cited the fact that from the beginning of the nineteenth cen- tury the Latin natives had gradually lost rulership over their colonies in the new world. He cited figures showing that Spain had lost 7,200,000 square miles of territory since 1800 and that France has not 100,000 closing out forever. STRAUS-EMERICH OUTFITTING 60, ou that Cuba and Porto Rico would be even- tually annexed to the United States was in- evitable. Mr. Taylor told an amusing story about a champagne 6upper with several prominent Spaniards shortly after his introduction into office. “One of the dons,” he said, “asked me how I like Spain. I replied ‘It is a grand coun- try, and feel perfectly at home here. I never enjoyed a place more in my life.’ I told them in glowing terms that Spain was just like my dear old southern country. One of them asked why? ‘Well,’ I said, ‘You folks have grand wine banquets, stay up late at nights, have a general good time and get to work late in the morning, care little for business and couldn't build a steam engine if inspired with the genius of Stevenson.’ They saw the point about an hour after I had gone.” Mr. Taylor said the war with Spain did not come like a storm cloud, as many etatesmen claim. He iInsisted that the United States had ample warning that trou- ble with Spain could not be averted. ‘‘And were it not for England, tions of Europe would have crushed humiliated the United States in the crisis.’’ ve the na- and late chael’s in Dramatic Roles.

FELL HEADLONG FROM A POLE. His Skull Fractured and His Death Followed Quickly—Some Mystery About His Name. Another Bell Telephone Company lineman fell from a pole Friday morning and ex- pired soon after he reached the City Hos- ital. Prhere is some mystery concerning the man, whose name is registered at the City Hospital as Charles Furlberin, on the police records as Fulleazerett and at the Dis- peneary as Fuilleverett. On his left arm are tattooed the initials “H. C. G.’’ Supt, Johnson of the Bell Company could give no information concerning the victim. ‘He is one of those sing.e men who come and go, and has not been in our employ long,’’ said Johnson, Furlberin was wo:kKing on a cross-afm on a pole in the teas rear of No. 4061 Washington avenue. In some manner a shock was given ‘him, and it caused him to Jet: go of the arm, and he plunged headlong towards the alley pavement, There was no one near the unfortunate man at the time, other members of linemen’s gang being scattered on the tops of poles east and west of the scene of the accident. Women in near by houses saw the man fall and word was conveyed to Officer Cot- ter of the Seventh District, who secured a city ambulance, the Bell company’s con- tract with St. Mary’s Infirmary to care for its sick or injured employes having expired recently, and it was not renewed. When Furlberin reached the City Hospital it was found that his skull had been frac- tured, the breaks extending up and down the skull and at the base. The 30-foot fall had almost shattered his head, yet he lived 10 minutes after he reached the operating table. The unfortunate man boarded at 1406 Papin street. = Grand.

For a long time he has been doing business at 3023 Kossuth avenue. In these’ 30 years he thas had many queer ex- customers to deal with, but the one with whom he dealt Thursday night was the queerest, it was about 6:30 o’clock. The gas was lighted within and the street in front of his store was shrouded in darkness. The door wus opened and a stranger entered. Mr. Schlagel went forward to wait on him, The Stranger was at least six feet six inches tall. He was as slim as a rail. He wore well worn clothes, a long blue overcoat and a black slouch hat. He was a blonde and Smoth shaven. “l want to get a pair of nice shoes for Sunday,’ he said. “ll want something pret- ty nice and I've got the price.” After delivering himself of this speech he Went to the door, opened it and expectorat- ed, Then he returned and inspected the shoes that the shoe dealer had brought down from the shelves. The usual prelim- inaries were gone through with and the lengthy stranger, after finding a $5 pair that suited, guesed that he thad better try them on, He got the left shoe on and after stamp- ing on the carpeted floor said that the shoe was a little tight, but that didn’t matter. He guessed he ‘nad better try the other one on. And again he went to the front door and spit a larger spit. He returned and put on the other shoe, They are all right,” he sald. “Now I want to buy another pair for every day.

g £ HONEST MAN, —— ee Pe ExeCouncilman James Ash- worth Is No More. HIS DEATH OCCURRED | AT THE CITY POORHOUSE. HE ONCE REDTUSED A BRIBE OF $3000 TO VOTE FOR A RAIL- WAY FRANCHISE. BLINDNESS OVERCAME 7 HIM WHILE AT WORK. He Quarreled With His Only Son and in His Old Age Went to the Poor- house and Has Dicd There as a Pauper. ee ee ee James Ashworth, ex-member of the City Council, died at the Poorhouse Thursday at the age of 81 years. The cause of death was apoplexy. The epitaph he wished to be gravén on his tombstone is “Here lies an honest man.” He had gone to the Poorhouse last spring after a quarrel with his son, Bridge Ash- worth, 4419 Blair avenue. The old man claimed he was ordered away by his son, but this the son denied, declaring the old man left. in obedience to a@ fanciful idea that be was no longer want- ed at his son's home. James Ashworth at one time cut quite a figure in the ‘affairs of the city. He lived in the far northern part of town. He ac- cumulated wealth and was honored with election to the City Council. But fortune forsook him. Gradually he Jost what he had, and in his latter years became dependent upon his son, Bridge Ashworth, who !s a paralytic, but who w&as in his active years a steamboat engineer. Bridge acquired some property, including the home at 4419 Blair avenue. The old man lived with them. There were frequent bick- erings between the father end his son and é | — P einees. 7 ~YkeG ABLE BOOK FR 32-Peze Book on Art and Fancy Work Given to Post-Dispatch Readers.

STOP CROWDING CARS RESOLUTION OFFERED IN THE BOARD OF HEALTH ASKING FOR LEGISLATION. THE PARIS PLAN APPROVED. Dr. Hughes Wants a Law to Prevent Street Cars Carrying More Pass- engers Than Have Seats. If the Board of Health takes the action contemplated by a resolution which it adopted at its meeting Thursday evening an ordinance will be introduced in the Mu- nicipal Assembly making it an offense for street cars to carry more people than can be seated. The matter was brought up by a reso- lution introduced by Dr. C. H. Hughes, one of the members. It urged prompt and efficient legislation toward the remedy of the evil of over- crowding. It said in part: “We hold that the people have sanitary rights which even transportation compa- nies should be bound by law to respect, daughter-in-law. The old man was blind and a great deal of trouble. Old age had brought to him many queer turns of dis- position, and the troubles that arose were of frequent occurrence. ‘he od father went to his neighbors for consolation, tell- ing his troubles far and wide. He received a@ great deal of sympathy. One day the quarrel was more bitter than usual and the old- man left the house. He wandered about the streets severa] hours and finally encoutered some friends, who listened to his story and took him to the “yy Hospital. He claimed it had been made very plain to him that he was no longer wanted at his son's home, and that he had gone away, never to return, He wanted to be sent to the Poorhouse. His son, an old man himself, and almost help.ess* with paralysis, and his sen’s wife admitted there had ‘beer quarre}s, but de- riled they had ordéred him out.

THEY REMEMBERED THE MAINE. elle ees ae ee o* rie) eee ee —— a PURSUING THE BOARD — CITIZEN FROECKMAN IS STILL ANGRY ABOUT THE COLLINS STREET POLLING PLACE. WANTS THE BOARD CITED. He Declares the Election Commission- ers Acted in Contempt of Court and Should Be Punished. Wm. A. Froeckman of 823 North Fourth street is not done with the Board of Elee- tion Commissioners. Last week he made them move the polling place of the second precinct of the Fourth Ward, and now he wants them punished for contempt of court for not carrying out fully the instructions. Before Judge Spencer Friday morning, the motion was made to have the Election Commissioners cited for contempt. The motion is supported by affidavits of Froeckman and William W. Becker. The first fight was on the ground that the location of the polls, at 40 Wash Street, was not convenient to a majority of the voters of the precinct, and that the neighborhood was not all that was desira- ble. The case was contesied, but Judge Spencer ordered that the booth be moved rto a more centraliy located building, in a quiet; orderly neighborhood. Voting in that precinct on Tuesday was done at 1014 Collins etreet. The affidavits filed Friday state that a worse neighborhood than that part of Co.lins street could searcely be found, That it is the retreat of thieves, burglars and thugs, and Mr. Froeckman swears that a Republican challenger was chased away from his post of duty and was obliged tu seek safety in another bui.ding. It is claimed, and sworn to, that a great ma- jority of the respectable element of tie precinct remained away from the polls be- cause they claimed it was too tough and from fears of personal violence. It is also stated that a number of good citizens, fearing to walk openly up the street, came down the alley in the rear of 1014 and passed through @ grocery store onto the street within a few steps of the booth. The allegation Is that the polls were lo- cated there for political effect. The affiants claim that the order of the court, wherein it was specified that the place selected should be in an orderly, re- spectable neighborhood was grossly vio- lated. fhus showing great contempt for the court. Judge Spencer will probably pass on the motion Monday. THE WINNER DIDN’T WIN. EE An Election Bet That Proved a Boom- erang in Payment. Thomas McGovern of Rusgell avenue has for a neighbor Henry Letts. McGovern ts an Irish Democrat and Letts a German Republican. Since the election they do not speak. Or hey wagered on the result of Tuesday's balloting, the loser to wheel the winner two mj.es in a barrow. Letts hired a band and urged the crowd’to jeer McGovern, as the latter was paying the bet. This made MeGovern mad and he and Letts fought. Then McGovern jumped on a car, leaving Letts to wheel the barrow home. This he did. through a cheering crowd, THEIR HEARTS WERE TENDER. Now They Are Hardened and William Becker Is in the Holdover. William Becker will have to answer four charges of fraudulently obtaining money. He was arrested on complaint of Mrs. 8. P. Pirou of 6962 Easton avenue. She told the police that a year ago Becker boarded with her. One day he came to her !n great distress. He asked for $6 to finish paying fer his engineer's Lcense, or, he said, he would be arrested. Mrs. Pirou did not gee the young man again until Thursday. He was standing at Broadway and Mound street. The lady called a policeman and had him arrested. He was later identified by Thomas Cor- coran of 4300 North Broadway, Dr. H. M. Roberts, 400 North Broadway and James Duvall, 1010 North Broadway, all of whom had saved Becker from “arrest.”’ EX-VOLUNTEERS PREFERRED. Recruits Are Plentiful for Key West and Huntsville.

The youngster’s papa is a traveling man, and | Clyde says his ‘mamma died a long time ago,”’ Barney Frauenthal was mistaken in counting upon young Clyde asking him a multitude of questions. ‘‘Maybe I ain’t more than a kid,” satJ Master Simpson, “but I know as much as | the to him how teach e does.
