Many of the regular liners and steamers which were due early Sunday morning, failed to arrive on time, being obliged to keep at sea until the storm abated. The French liner, La Touraine, first encountered the storm on Nov. 20, but came along steadily until the night of the 26th. when the snow and wind became SO blinding that at a distance 0! miles from port the vessel Was. slowed down and barely held her way. Phis was continued until at 5:15 p. m., the vessel was anchored outside the bar. The Fur- nessia had the gale, as did also the Thing- valla: the latter reported the strength of the gale as 12, the highest the Beaufort scale gives. Both, however, came along without any difficulty as they were run- ning near the end of the storm. LONG ISLAND CUT OFF. |All Trains Snowbound and Some Stuck in Drifts. NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Points in Eastern Long Island, which have been cut off from railroad communication with this city since Saturday’s storm, are still without train service, and the present prospect is that the tracks will not be cleared until to- morrow. The towns in Suffolk County, east of Babylon, have had no train serv.ce since Friday evening. The Montauk line of the Long Island Railroad is open to Babylon, 'From Babylon to Greenport, a distance of lies from 12 to, or | Stuck in snow drifts. about fifty miles, no train is running and none is promised by the railroad before to- night at the earliest. There are two trains Both were eastbound and were caught on Saiurday.night. One is on the Montauk division, between Bay Shore and Islep. The other is on the man line and was last heard of at Farmingdale. There were but few passengers in the trains and the railroad officials had them cared for in hotels. The railroad cuts about the Shinnecock H.lls are reported to have 10 feet of snow in them. SNOWING IN NEBRASKA. For Twenty-Four Hours the Beautiful Has Been Coming Down. OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 28.--Snow has been falling the past 24 hours throughout Ne- barska.

This situation results from the fact that sheepmen have kept’ their sheep on the mountain ranges as long as possible on account of the dryness and lack of grass outside.

GLOUCESTER, Mass., Nov. 28.—Nine ves- seis were lost in the blizgard at this port, but nothing could be learned this forenoon as to the loss of life.

QUINCY, Mass., Nov. 28.—The three- masted steamer which went ashore near the National Sailors’ Home here yesterday, is the steamer John J. Hill, bound for Hulls- boro, N. B., from New York. She was an- chored in the Nantucket Roads when the storm struck her. She dragged her anchors and was gradually driven before the ter- rific gale until she struck the shore. The steamer is now on shore and is apparent-, ly not damaged. The John J. Hill was engaged in the plaster trade. She registered 947 tons and was built in 1892 at Marine City, Mich.

The defendants were not in court, their interests being loked after by Attorneys E. Shapley and A S&S. L. Shields, Immediately “upon the opening of court Attorney Shapiey filed demurers to four of the five indictments found against the defendants by the grand jury and also filed a motion to quash the fifth indictment. Arguments on these demurrers Was pro- ceeded with by Mr. Shapley. In a general way the objections to the indictments were based on contentions of insufficient speci- ficat'ons, complete failure to charge any un.awful act and an absence of allegation that the defendants unlawfully obtained any money either from the bank or from any other source. If the defendants did, as the indictments charge, purchase stocks and bonds through Cashier Hopkins, as agent, Mr. Shapley claimed that no unlawful act had been com- mitted. He claimed that banks every day act as purchasers for their depositors or customers. Regarding the allegations re- specting the use of State moneys he argued that all money deposited ip a bank got into the general fund of the bank and that therefore the indictments are defective in charging misuse of State funds obtained from the Peoples’ Bank, whereas, if any monev was obtained from the bank, it wae funds of the Peoples’ Bank and not State funds. Furthermore, these State funds were deposited in the bank by various State treasurers in full authority of law. AN IMPORTANT ARREST, Femous Criminal Suspected of Several Recent Robberies. Detectives Walsh and MoCarthy arrested Tony Anderson, alias Montgomery, alias Burkmann, at Fourth street and Clark ave- nut shortly after noon Monday. The police think the arrest is an important one. Anderson’s picture is in Chief Desmond’s gallery and in the rogue’s gallery in every b'g city in the United States. A year ago he was arrested here and given hours to leave town. Anderson was exceptionally well dressed. He had on silk underwear. In his pockets were found several waten chains, some smaller jewelry and a dozen solid silver spoons. The police believe all this was stolen. It is thought the clothing he had on was stolen. He is being held in the hope that’ he will be identified and connected with some of the recent burzlaries.

De —_— BAD FOOD AND IMMORALITY. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. -_-———_ the guardian of a pupil In the school, testi- fied that during a religious service her ward was taken ill. She sent word to Dr. Sibley of the child’s illness. The child became very ill, and although Dr. Sibiey was notified re- peatedly he did not call to attend her and the child died. Mrs. Pefiy also stated that the religious influence in the school was not good, because none of the pupils were converted. “i Know,” said the witness, ‘“‘that when any of the children came under the deep conviction of the Holy Ghost, which leads (oO salvation, they were . discouraged.” Witness knew nothing of the charge about bad food, neglect of duty, immoral- ty and dishonesty, Haley stated that unless it could be | specifically that the fostering of religious influences was a part of the superintendent’s duty, questions relating ae religion in the school would be ruled out. _ Dr. Young supported this position, stat- ing that the blind school was a State in- stitution, supported by religionists and non- ‘eligionists, aad that all testimony relat- ing to these matters were irrelevant. On examination by Col. Hill Mrs. Pefly testified that Dr. Sibley did not cail upon the sick girl. The chiid died of spinal meningitis. On cross-examination by Mr. Kern, she Stated the proper sprit was not shown in the conduct of Sunday-school and prayer- meeting. Another statement was that the pupils were not allowed to go outside the institution to certain, missions. Mrs. Pefly stated ‘that. she kept the sick girl two days, bat called in no doctor to attend her. She sent for Dr. Sibley. She didn’t believe {n doctors. Do you expect Dr. Sibley to attend pupils when they are away from the institution, and at home with their parents or guard- laus?’’ Objected to, and objection sustained. William Douglas testified that Dr. Sibley failed to dress a sore on his hand; neve saw him in a class-room; that the foo was bad and insufficient. He had no com- plaint to make about the bed linen. and Knew nothing of the immorality and dis- honesty charges. On examination by Col. Hill witness said the meat served was often tainted. On cross-examination witness said the bread was musty last Saturday morning. He has been in the school only since Oct. ll. Three times week before last the meat was bad. The second week of his stay in the institution the sausage made him sick and there was bad meat and half-cookeqd po- tatoes. The next week the meat and po- tatoes were bad. Witness had never com- plained to Dr. Sibley or the matron. He had never known Dr, Sibley to visit the classroom, Henry Atkins, a pupil who has been in the institution seven years, testified that Dr. Sibley never visitpd the classrooms. Witness was not sure-the doctor might not have visited the classrooms without his knowledge. On the subject of food the wit- ness said that after a hard day’s work many times the puptls got bread, molasses and tepid coffee. He said good meals were the exception. Witness said on one occa- sion Dr. Sibley had overcharged nim 25 cents for a railroad ticket. He said enaete on or beds Rating often left sojled e knew nothing abou -harg ' morality. : cee SaarEe 05 Oe On examination by Col.

Mr. Lionberger said he wanted to know *. Sibley’s good points as well as his bad points. He asked witness what was his objection to Dr. Sibley. j : “My chief objection was that he was never around when I wanted him.’’ i He said the doctor objected to the de- bating society because he didn’t want the girls and boys to mix. He said the doctor never interfered with his religious devo- iris Sharp | Phelan | numerous | commercial bodies throughout the United States.

On cross-examination by Mr. Kern he Stated that meat Was served twice a day as a general thing, but that sometimes ft was not fit to eat. The fare was bad of- tener than good. At more than haif the meals meat that was either tainted or bad- ly cooked was served, On the matter of the overcharge of 25 cents by the doctor, witness stated that tn ll! other financial transactions Dr. Sibley acted honestly. Witness had frequent- y borrowed money from the doctor, James Walden, a pupil since 1898, who is blind, was the next witness, He the doctor had never visited the class rooms. The food was poor in quality ‘(and insufficient. He testified that Dr. Sib- ley visited a lady teacher’s room while the witness was in the room, and that the wit- ness left it. He testified that by reason of rumors of Dr. Sibley’s immorality the Sunday-school and prayer meeting were broken up. Dr, Sibley had never shown the witness any kindness or attention. He saig the doctor visited his room once or twice a year. William A, Lomax produced a notification card for a registered letter which had con- tained $10, and which Dr. Sibley received. Dr. Sibley gave witness $5. Close question- ing developed the fact that witness owed Dr. Sibley $8 and that the remaining §% was by witness’ order applied to this debt. Lomax told of an instance when Dr, Bibley visited the room of a mney teacher. He knew nothing of the debating society, but knew that Dr. Sibley had broken up the yrayer-meeting P When questioned by Mr. Abercromble, witness said he was suspended two weeks ago.

Gillett, the ‘‘Cattle King,’’ cause of it all, ‘Io apparently on his way to Spain. A telegram received yesterday from Gil- lett by his brother-in-law said that he was about to sail for Cadiz. feside a casual query about his wife and baby, the tele- gram said nothing else. It was generally believed that G.llett had | first gone to Texas and from there to Old Mexico, a traveling man claiming to seen him in Chihuahua. have telegraphed friends at Kansas City on | last Friday from Texas that he was then en | route to Old Mexico, and, by some, this is believed to have been a “‘blind’’ to give him time to get to New-York and set sail, In an interview J. HNHollinger, president of the Gillespie Commis¥ion Co., whose at- tachment caused Gillett’s collapse, is quot- ed as saying that Gillett had planned for his departure for several days previous thereto, and that he had taken $20,000 in cash with him. Gillett is said to|his Kansas farm. There is current rumor that Gillett had been shipping cattle to Utah under the of his papcr, but the young man was with him at Fort Worth Thursday, where he had. followed him, begging him to give him a share of the spoils. He got nothing. The employes on the Gillett ranch have | deserted their posts. On a side track are | ‘the twenty car loads more of Herfords and short horne suffering in the storm with no one to care for them. They had arrived on the date of the failure. Every hour's investigation at name of a young man who had signed much | Woodbine i ularly difficult for him, for he had an un- pleasant record among the gossips of this section to overcome. He is about 6 stoutly built, man of 31. feet tall, broad shouldered, weighing about 180 pounds. He 1s blue- eyed, smooth-shaven, with a full, ruddy face, and has heavy dark-brown hair. His voice is loud and he cuts a great dash about everything. Many. people are still inclined.to think that Gillett “intended all right,’’ and a number of ‘his creditons still hope he was “honest but careless.’’ But one or two transactions have come. to light the last few months that would in- dicate that if honest he certainly was most astonishingly careless. Those who know Gillett and have bar- gained with him down at the Stock Ex- change say he is a pecullar man. He did his first trading here in a modest way about six years ago. In those days he was content with buying twenty-five or Gillett is a have | thirty head of cattle and shipping them to When his luck changed and he made several thousand dollars by judicious tfading, he would do some most colossal buying and selling. He was recog- nized here as a free-handed, optimistic man. with more luck than business ability. His luck was something wonderful. Those who knew him best declare that this un- accountable luck, rather than business sa- gacity, won him his thousands. “He is a good fellow who means well, but he has bitten off more than he can chew," a prominent commiesion man who knew him well sald yesterday. “I believe he realized that his job was too big for him and that he went away to escape it all.”’ another one said. When Gillett was in town last he was the jolliest man in town. He laughed and talked with several of his business friends, and looked the last man in the world to be in debt $1,000,000, CROOKED EARLY IN LIFE. Beginning at the very beginning, as the old three-volume novels used to say, be- of the affairs of Gillett puts a worse light In the midst of a snow storm, while commission firms’ reperesentatives last night struggled over their claims, five hundred head of cattle stood on the train all day, while attorneys fought for thelr possession. All day firms were cut- ting out what they could, and getting them to the station One bunch of 300, which no one present had a claim on, will be ships ed and placed to the ranch’s credit. About » head remain, and there is feed for three days only. The more the commission men investigate e more complicated matters appear. Gil- lett’s favorite method appears to have been to mortgage a bunch of catile in his own name, then remortgage them in the name of his brother-in-law, father-in-law and em-, ployes. One herd of hW cows in the terrt- tory are mortgaged five times, a total of $176 a head. It pears safe to say that the amount of Gillett paper out is not less than §,000,- 000. As has been said, Gilett Kept no books. He oarried all of his affairs, transact.ons aggregating millions, in his head. ‘This ma it almost impossible to straighten his liabilities out. An expert from Chicago, who is here working on the herculean task, said impat.entiy, when asked if it was true as rumored, that Gillett had mort-| gaged and remortgaged the same cattle | several times over: ‘“‘Now, how can any | man teil about that?

No one is ready to go into ‘CARRIED HIS DEBTS IN HIS HEAD. ' people know it was over a queer transac- | farmer fore Grant Gillett was born, 40 years ago, an Englishman, James A, Gillett, emigrated ° to this country and took up a-farm, which is now the site of Woodbine. He was an industrious, thrifty man, and he got on. After a time he married a young woman of the countryside and they together built up a happy home, They had three sons and a daughter. The sons were Grant G., G. G. and James A. Jr. The daughters are now Mrs. Joseph Reed and Mrs. W. H. Hollinger, whose husband is a son of J. 8. Hollinger, a member of the firm of A. J. Gillesple & Co. of Kansas City. The little town of Woodbine grew up on and about the farm, and the elder Gillett became known as a rich man; he was worth per- haps $25,000 or $30,000. About ten years ago Grant 8. Gillett, then 20 years old, went to Lost Springs, Kan., a litle station on the Santa Fe, to buy grain. He met the station agent, a dashing young woman, and fell in love with her. Before long they were married. After ot into some details about it now, but ail over Abilene tion in wheat. Young Gillett, it is said, shipped several cars of wheat to Kanéas City. His wife, as station agent, sealed the cars and issued the bille of lading. These were sent to Kansas Cit¢ and a loan was negotiated on them. Then, when the cars arrived, it is said, only a sprinkling of wheat, 10 or 12 bushels or so, was found in each. There was a back-fence scandal. Young Gillett left suddenly for the South. hiis wife and he separated. A few years later Gillett married the Woodbine school mistress. Alma Baum- baugh, daughter of a staid and quiet old of Moon} ght. J. S. Baumbaug, who besidés tilling the ground is a Dunk- ard preacher times since his new son,gin-law entered the family. So, for that matter. has C. 1. Baumbaugh, Mrs. G_llett’s brother. Directly after his second marriage Gillett began (to speculate in ‘feeder’ cattle. small bunch, borrowed against them, bougnt corn, fed the corn to the cattle, sold his / cattle fat and realized enough to pay all he had borrowed and had several thousand souere besides. He had hit the market just riant. This first speculation was such a success that he tried tt again on a larger scale. Again the market turned just toe suit him and he realized a big profit. This was three years ago. He has been repeating the transaction over and over again ever since, with steadily grow.ng amounts, The year the Presidential election he is sald to have cleared $150.000 {in 6 months. How much truth there was in this no one can Say. Gillett was a prodigious “blower.” But however large or sma)! his pr&lits there can be no doubt about the enormous 68.ze of his transactions, It is fon really’ loates. that his “profits” were. often if he had ever stopped to ba but he never st dealing in bigger figures, till at last the amounts inscribed on his checks, notes and mortgages caine to look strikingly like gun club scores. HIS RELATIVES WERE “IN IT.” And such a boom as the Register of Deeds Office of thie county had in chaitei moft- gages! Page after page of the records is devoted to the Gillett deeds. In January of this year the name of G. G. Gillett ap- pears on this index 124 times. the amount involved has been §$40,0v0 and over. Seldom has it been under $10,000. After winning in a few of his deals Gll- lett began to wear diamonds and expensive clothes. He would talk of buying anything in the cattle line that was to be bought. Money Was no object to him. He cut a swath like a Vanderbilt. He kindly let his fatner-in-law and his brothers-in-law and his brothers and a number of his neighbors in with him‘“in deals. And jt must be said they made money. Father-in-law Laum- baugh was very skittish about the specula- tions at firet, but after he had hauled in $ouu0 or so clear profit last spring and was able to clear up all his obligations against him and put money in the bank, his doubts vanished. He trusted ‘his gifted son-in-law in everything without question. He signed all the papers he was asked to sign, and never even read them. He was sure all was right, and he sat back waiting for his div- idends. What his signing has done tor him will be seen shortly. What was true of the father-in-law be- came true of all of Gillett’s relatives and connections. He let them all in. And most of them are now in. And Gillett beeame more Vanderbilt-like all the while. He got more diamonds. He used to carry a handful of gems loose in his pockets, and while conversing with commission men and others, woula take them out and carelessly play with them as other men play with kevs or a handful of ‘jingle money.” It Lelped his credit, of course, but people never thought of that in the great days. The diamonds were-omy one of the ‘“‘king’s”’ extravagant fads. Then Gillett developed the private car habit, and soon he organized his famous Cowboy brass vand of twenty pieces. This aggregation he has taken with him everywhere the past two years. He took the whole outfit to the Fort Worth stock- men's convention on a epecial train, and put up at the best hotel in $5-a-day style, and the whole band was with him. The band he took with him on his bdbuy- ing trips to Texas and the dash he cut was wonderful to see—think of a bediamonded buyer who-took a full brass band with him! As for buying, he never haggled or beat his man down. “How much?” he would say, after looking carelessly over a herd of 4000 cattle or so. “So much,” the owner would say. ‘‘Take ’em all,”’ the king would answer. ‘‘Have ’em ready to ship at such and such a time.’’ And of he would go. A little later he would negotiate a nice loan on the stock and pay for it. Buying was a joke to him. And the same extrava- gant largenéss was shown in everyth.ng he d.d. He bought buggies by the half-dozen. Harness the same way. He took life in- surance by the $100,000. Insuring was one of his especial fads. He is said to be the most heavily insured man in Kansas. He has now in force these policies: STUPENDOUS IN EVERYTHING. New York Life, through its Kansas City agent, $100,000; Union Central, through C. C. Wyandt of this city, $100,000; Northwest- ern Mutual of Milwaukee, through its To- peka agent, $75,000. On many of the policies a premiums are paid six years in ad- fance, When he disappeared he had $20,000 in accident insurance, which he had taken out only recently... He went to C. C. Wyandt, a local insurance agent, about two weeks ago and asked for ‘all the accident insgur- ance he could get.’’ He said he’d like ‘“‘one Or two hundred thousand.” He got four $5000 policies, one each in the Aetna,. the Travelers’, the Fidelity and Casualty Co. and one in another company, whose name the agent does not recall. He paid the pre- miums for a year. It was the same way with fire and light- ning insurance. Agent Wyandt wrote him policies on ‘50 horses and 50 mules,"”’ on ‘'15 wagons and buggies and 15 harnesses,”’ and so on. Within two weeks he wrote one $8000 fire policy on the ‘“‘king’s’’ new ele- vator at his Woodbine farm. He also car- ried a $100.000 fire policy on a lot of corn he had in Smith County, but this was some time ago. Giilett Is not such a man as would im- press most people used to refined city life ner would he be apt to get very mutch cred- it in any ordinary line of business. But he was a “cattle king,’’ and’ he did the part to perfection. That was the secret of his success. He was gs0 hearty and whole- souled about everything, so lavish in his generosity, so careless about things. that many people make much of, that he begot Similar~and yet greater carelessness in others. The enormous business deals of Gillett seem wonderful when it is remembered that four years ago he hung around the town of Abilene all summer trying to get the position of deputy sheriff at $50 a month. A HYPNOTIST AS A BORROWER. Among the paper of Gillett that is out- Standing in the hands of innocent purchas- ers is $300,000. the proceeds of the big deal in Oregon cattle made by Gillett a few months ago. In this deal Gillett borrowed $200,000 from different firms in Kansas City, and with it bought 15.000 head of Oregon cattle. Every dollar of that $300,000 was put into chattel mortgages on the cattle. These catle have been shipped to Kansas and are mixed up with Gillett’s herds at different Places here, and every dollar of the notes he gave for the $300,000 is in the hands of innocent purchasers. This would be all right if the cattle were here ready for mar- et, because then the commission men who held the mortgages would come in and rush their cattle to market and realize enough to meet the notes when they ma- tured. But the cattle are in no condition to market The money advanced was to help ay for feed, too, and there is no feed on Haris. It is feared that these cattle. have been mortgaged two or three times. The indications are that $2,000,000 worth of his paper is out. Though it seems re- markable that Gilett could have begun three vears ago on nothing and done the enormous business he did when the man, ‘his methods and the system by which the cattle businese is carried on are considered it is not so strange. A dozen different com- mission men, in speaking about Gillett to-day, said: “He could just hypnotize a man.” Looking back at it now they won- der how they were so easily duped by this man. They all admit that they knew the crash was bound to come somet'me or an- other. but they did not expect it so soon. Bach was suspicious of the man, but they made big profits through his deals and they hoped to get from under before the bubble huret. No one of them imagined that Gil- lett was doubling up on _ his mortgages. They thought that even !f he should fall they wouid be ampmy secured in the cattle. J. iS. Hoilingwer said to-day: “Gillett was all right up to two weeks ago. util that time his deals were all on the square and he thought he could pull through. But 10 days or two weeks ago he realized that the end was coming, and I think he just got what he could by hook or crook and skipped. I believe that the most of his paper wil turn out to be goood A group commision men were talking in the 1 office in Woodbine to-day. One said: Gillett better not come back here Another asked: “‘Why not? If commiaeasion men all over again. a DRINK A SIN, BRIBERY NOT. The Rev. H. V.

He was a good cornet player, his The old man has seen lively | He bought a; health was poor, and when Gillett offered him the leadership of the band he. accepted at $* a month. Gillett said he organized the band to please his loved music. He was his wife. Gillett himeelf know one tune from another. He took the band on special cars with him to cattle con- ventions, and on cattle buying trips. Gil- lett was charitable. He paid al! the expen- ses of keeping up a hall at Woodbine in which the Rev. Scholes preached and the band played at the services. He sald to the reacher. “I've got no religion myself, ut religion is a good thing and I believe in pushing it along,”’ Gillett never drank a drop. There were two joints in Woodbine and when the Rev. Mr. Scholes started out with a band of crusaders to close them Gil- lett went along and helped and told the whisky sellers: “‘We've always had trouble since whisky was sold in this town and we will wet along without it.” Gillett belleved that every man had tis Frequentiy | price and he d!d business on that theory. hen a man brought a suit against him in Abilene once, he went to the attorney of the man and offered him $1000 to “throw his client.”” He paid lawyers twice as much in fees as they expected and gave his preacher presents of $) at a time. The town of Woodbine. where Gillett lived, in a cluster of twenty or thirty houses, three or four stores, a bank, an elevator and Gillett’s big barn. The barn and home area mile southeast of the depot. Gillett lined this road from the @epot to his home with a hedge and set out trees along it. When a reporter called at the Gillett home Mrs. Gillett, a plain woman, who Was a school teacher, came to the door. HIS WIFE IN TEARS. “Have you heard from Mr. Gillett since he went away?” she wad asked. y (0.”’ Ro you know where he is?’ "No.’ “Did vou know he was going away?’ “No, I did not.’* ‘Is there anything at all about your that husband’s you wish disappear- : og a word. ’."? She had been weeping and there were tears in her eyes. The house is the old Gillett homestead. It is a very old frame house which would look very shabby if it had not been recently patched up and Painted a bright yellow. The home and barn stand in the center of a great level plain which is circled a mile or two away with hills. Off in the distance a bunch of Several hundred cattle were huddled to- gether lowing for feed. Commission men in carriages splashed to the eyes with mud, were dr.ving in all directions over the roads, hurriedly going and coming in search of cattle. In Woodbine Gillett was real king. There is one barber ahop if, the place. When Gillett called to be shaved {t made no difference if twenty people were wait- ing their turn, he was always “‘next.”’ Gil- lett had forty men working on his ranch. The married ones live in cottages he built for them. The unmarried ones sleep and eat in the big house. These men are un- easy. Most of them will get no wages from Gillett’s interests and will have to hunt jobs elsewhere. Everything will be sold off now to pay his debts. ss LEITER’S MILK TRUST. Chicago Will Soon Be Under ‘he Thumb of the Combination. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 28.—It is stat- ed that John Le Feber. of North Green- field, a suburb of this city, is working in connection with the rumored milk trust with which Joseph Leiter and the Kee- Chappell Co. of Chicago are connected.

The Spanish Commissioners having accepted the American terms the annexation of the Philippine Islands may now be considered an accomplished fact. It were,a waste of time to regret this step. We have got the elephant and we must now study how best to meet the situation and deal with the perplexing problems of govern- ment. | These are not simple. Questions of administration are com- paratively easy, but the revenue, the regulation of commerce, the relation of the islands to foreign governments and to the United States, the adjustment of the tariff in such wise that other nations may be satisfied without disparaging our own “intereste—these and a thous#nd more demand the best in- telligence of the American pe Most important is the fact that America is no longer isolated, but is in the thick of Euro- pean and Asiatio politics.

Brigham H. Roberts, the new Congressman from Utah, does not deny that he has three living wives and that he has practiced polygamy since Utah was admitted to the Union, on Jan. 4, 1896. The excuse Mr. Roberts puts forward is a plea against breaking up his interesting family, which was formed before the United States and the State of Utah prohibited polygamy in his old home. Mr. Roberts points out that he has “moral obligations,” from which no act of the State can release him. No one would question Mr. Roberts’ right to appropriate a portion of his income to the support of certain women and children for whose condition of dependence he felt himself morally liable. But this is a very different thing from continu- ing a plural marriage relation after it has been prohibited by the law. Mr. Roberts is evidently an unregenerate Mormon, who lives up to his given name. = = i i The sandbagger and burglar are busy in ell the large cities and the smaller ones are not being neglected.

It seems pretty certain that in a short time we shall be able to insure against every conceivable evil, from the cradle to the grave.

Wakeful baby insurance—to compensate papa for losing his job after he has walked the floor so long at night that he makes el] kinds of “breaks” down town next day.

The story is inherently probable and an English newspaper of high cl@tracter declares it has the best authority for it. The American people are pulling a bushel of chestnuts out of the fire for a gang of monopolists. This is the consumma- tion of patriotism and national fervor. It accounts for the “development” of the President’s foreign policy, and, for aught anybody knows, it accounts for much British enthusiasm for our new colonial schemes.

In the opinion of ex-Governor Johnson, three of the indict- ments of City Register Besch for bribery in office are de- fective and will not stand the test of trial. The validity of the fourth is in doubt. If the trial should prove the correctness of this opinion, As- sistant Circuit Attorney Hodgdon must confess either that he is incapable of drawing up a proper indictment, or that he knowingly and deliberately made the indictments defective for the purpose of defeating the ends of justice to protect an official of his own party. In the one case he is unfit for his office; in the other he is guilty of a greater crime than that of which Besch is accused —one of the greatest that can be committed, because it cor- rupts the springs of justice. In view of the tricks that have been played in the adminis- tration of justice in this city to protect influential ‘“wrong- doers, thé public will not be slow to arrive ata conclusion, if the prosecution fails on account of any blunders in the pro- ceedings. The prosecution of the case will be closely watched and failure to convict because of any trickery or avoidable mistake will meet with scorn and condemnation. 7éeoo.

Doesn't the high tariff give enough protection to justify the American woolen trade in refraining from using a foreign name to sell inferior goods?

He took in every detail of the surround- ings as he walked along the beach in the direction of hie aunt’s house. There was the very “spot he had first seen her on that bright spring morning. How often they used to talk about it afterward! Presently he saw coming toward him in the distance an old lady, walking very slowly. With her was a brignt little boy of some four summers, toddling on in front. The old lady the Major recognized as his aunt: the child must be his son. There was also with them another lady whom the Major did not know. The greeting of his aunt was most cor- dial, for she was sincerely fond and proud of her soldier nephew. Then the Major took up his little boy on’ his one arm, and told him he was his father, and the boy shouted lustily and called him dad. and then asked in a whisper where his other arm was. And as the Major loked at the brave littie fellow—a son that any father might be proud of, with thick golden curls and deep dark-blue eyes—the thought came upon him of how this meeting might have taken place, and a peculiar feeling came into his throat and he coughed and glanced sternly seaward. declaring that the weather was changing, he was certain of it.

To dream of a lake of clear water, with water running through it, and grass and vegetation under and around, signifies that your mind is to be bright and active. You will have little trouble solving prob'ems. The gist of any matter you may take up will be patent to you. But too great mental activity may lead to loss of affection, sym- bolized by the temporary loss of your mother from your field of vision.

If you have made a discovery of benefit to your baby’s health or mental development share it with the mother read- ers of the Post-Dispatch. If your baby has said original and funny things, as only bright babies can, they will be acceptable to this department, BABY'S FLANNEL BAND. My first baby is only three months old, and I feel that I am very ignorant. Will you please tell me why a baby should wear a flannel band? The purse told me I must keep one on my little one, but I cannot understand why, during hot weather, she shwuld be made to wear what seems such an uncomfortable garment as this band is. A YOUNG MOTHER. The flannel band protects the abdomen, but its most important use is to support the abdominal wall in very young infanis. It should be worn snugly for at least five or six months. A healthy infant may wear a knitted band after that time. The flannel band unquestionably often preventa the occurrence of rupture in young ba- bies. It equalizes the temperature about the abdomen also and prevents the child from taking cold should the temperature Suddenly change. BABY NOTICING AND BEING NOTICED. When my baby was six months old. ghe sald ‘“‘momma’’ and ‘‘papa.’’ At 11 months she e@akl ‘“‘grandpa’’ and ‘‘no,"’ and several more words.

A little girl explained God's omnipresence thus: “He was everywhere without going there.”” A little boy. reflecting on the mis- deeda of Satan, said to his mother, “Ma, Satan must be a great trouble to God, mustn't he? I don't see why he turned out ¢0 bad when he had no devil to put him up to it!" Better, perhaps, is the remark of a 3-vear-old, who said, “I want God to take care of me nights; Il can take care of myseif lays."’ AN IN HER SEWING. said a mother to her lt- tle daughter, who was crying, “what are you crying about?’ ‘“C-cause,”’ sobbed the little miss, ‘‘I s-started to m-make dolly a b-bonnet and it c-comed out b-bloomers.” WALKING WITH PAPA'S LEGS.

He spoke at length of the relations of science and religion, holding that there was conflict between true religion and true science. He arraigned the churehes for lack of effectiveness, but pictured with hopefu.ness the world movement “back to the Bibe and the Christ of the Bible” Dr. Dungan of the Mount Cabanne Chris- tian Chureh, confined hs discussion of the paper to an unreserved expression of ap- proval of it in ite entirety. Rev. McCullough of the Glasgow Avenue Presbdyierlan Church said he did not epeak in unkindness, but Dr. Jctinson’a paper re- minded him of some of the political speeches that ate to be heard. He thought Dr. Johnson's conrecliusions had not been en- tirely definite. The paper reminded him of the historical personages who went up the hii and then came down again. Rev. McCullough was humorous, harmouy with the audience. Rev. T. ¢. Tit of Salt Lake City. Su- vrintendent of Methedist Missions in ‘tah, was introduced «and made ai few remarke. He pleaded for a stirring up of public sentiment whieh would send Con- sreseman-ciect Roberts, “an avowed and defiant polygamist,’ back to his ‘‘multi- piled fami.y responsibilities,’ The speaker was warmly aplauded.

ST, JOHN'S BIRTHDAY, GOLDEN JUBILEE OF THE FAMOUS PARISH CELEBRATED WITH CEREMONIES. FINE MUSIC AND DECORATION. Eloquent Sermon by Bishop Glennon and Lecture by Archbishop Ryan —An Afternoon Banquet. a The fiftieth anniversary of the birthday of the parish of St. John’s Catholic Church was celebrated Sunday with appropriate and beautiful ceremonies. Three bishops and a priest from every parish in the city assisted in the celebration, and a choir of 50 members, under the direction of Miss Teresa Finn, rendered a musical programme in the preparation of which many weeks had been expended. The interior of the old church presented an artistic appearance, with its handsome and elaborate mural decorations made es- pecially in honor of its Golden Jubilee. Yellow chrysanthemums were used in pro- fusion, and the altar was literally covered w.th them. A large wreath of these flowers adorned the roof of the tabernacle, over which drooped a silken purple curtain. Many amail electric lights, arranged to form a cross, lighted the altar, showing to advantage the painting of the Transfigura- tion, wh.ch covers the whole rear wall of the church. The services of the day began with pon- tifical high mass at 10:30 o’clock. The church was not large enough to contain all the people who had begun to assemble in the early morning to witness this impos.ng sceil™, and many were turned away. These latter, however, had the satisfaction of wit- nessing the procession with which the cere- mony began. As the day was the first Sun- day in Advent the vestments were all of purple. The acolytes and boys of the choir came first, followed by a long line of priests, in the rear of which were the Most Rev. John J. Kain, Archoishop of St. Louis, in full pontificals: Most Rev. P. J. Ryan, Archbishop of Philadelphia, and Rt.-Rev. J. J. Glenn of Kansas Citv. B.shop coad- jutor of the day. The assistants in the mass were selected from the parish priests of St. Louis. ‘Nearer, My God. to Thee.” the “‘Kyrie’’ from Haydn's second mass, “Gloria’’ from Giorza's first mass. ““Credo’’ from Morza’s mass, “O Salutaris’’ from Costa, ‘“‘Sanctus”’ from Gounod’s ‘‘Messe Solene.le’ and the ‘‘Benedictus’’ from Von Weber's mass in G were among the selections sung by the choir. At the conclusfon of high mass Bishop J. J. Glennon of Kansas City delivered the anniversary sermon. He paid a beautiful tribute to St. John’s, which he called the ‘‘mother of churches in St. Louis.’’ He connection with the church and of the wonderful work which he did for the Cath- olic religion in the West. He called the at- tention of the audience to the fact that one- eighth of the Catholic church of the United States is under the rule of priests who*for- merly served St. John’s. The present pastor, Rev. James T. Coffey, was eulogized the face of many discouraging obstacles. Bishop Glennen closed his sermon with a brilliant eulogy of the Catholic church. In the afternoon at 3 o’clock a banquet was given in the hall of St. John’s In honor of the visiting prelates and local priests. letter U. At the head sat Rev. Coffey, with Archbishop Kain on his left and Arch- bishop Ryan on his right. concluded until 6 o’clock. atchman. In the evening at 8 o'clock Archbishop Ryan delivered an address on ‘“‘Art in the Sanctuary” to a large audience of both Catholics and Protestants. He made a profound impression. Archbishop Ryan was formerly pastor of St. John's and it was the first time he had appeared in its pulpit since his consecra- tion, a dozen years ago. The distinguished prelate spoke feelingly of his past connec- tions with the church and the strong affec- tion he entertained for St. Louis. There present. ferred to the ancient cathedrals and the art displayed in them for the glorification of God. He referred to what religion has done for art by supplying ghorious ideals and supernatural motives, and what these arts have in turn done for religion by elevating the human soul toward God and illustrating the sacred doctrines of revealed truth. The fine arts, acting through senses, lead the soul to the unseen God, they purify and spiritualize the grosser na- ture of man and make the beaut. ful that is visible the reflex of the uncreated beauty, on which the human eye cannot gaze, which man cannot see and live. The church taught her children, he said, the deep sin of honoring statues and pictures for thei: own sakes, but taught them also that they might give to them a relative honor for the sake of the originals.

There were army officers there, too, and railroad men and hotel clerks and of the guild that frequents show houses on Sunday evenings. Nearly everybody knew everybody else, and, of course, there Was gossip. But that ts the other story. The show went well. It is a musical comedy in two acts by Edgar Smith and It is produced in elegunt style and the company is a big one and evidentiy expensive. ‘There ifs a os 3 composed of a dozen or so of exceedingly pretty girls and half a dozen or so of young men who can wear dress suits and part their hair in the middle. The theory of the men who built the plece seems to have been that the only really good and pleasing people are the naughty people. It ils about a wild young man, who loves an actress and wants to marry ber, but fears to ask the consent of his straight-laced old father. She won't consent, unless the old man gives hia per- mission. The father comes to the city an ets drunk with his son's bohemian riends and they visit him at his home. He |is a gay old spark at heart, and under pres- ' sure he consents to his son's marriage to the actor lady. The unpleasing good people are discomfitted and the pleasing naughty live happy ever after. It is just the sort of show to please a Sunday night audience. This statement is not intended as disparagement, for Sunday night audiences are sophisticated and dis- oriminating, even if their palates do re- quire piquant condiments.

There are all sorts of funny mechanical tricks and won- derful spectacies in it and no objectionabie features. It might be described as a cross between Hanlons “Superba” and a farce comedy. The compen is large and every- body contributes to the merriment of the audience. There is a good deal of singing and more dancing and some excellent spec- ialties, Sidney R. Ellis, the author, was in the audience last night and appeared Satisfied with the production. In no play presented this season by the Imperial Theater stock company have their capabilities been shown to better advantage than in Hugh Conway’s “Called Back, which was givep its first production yester- day afternoon. It has been ten years since the play has been seen in St. Louis and to many of yesterday’s audience it was new. The story is somber at times, but always interesting and thrilling, and there is an occasional dash of humor. Miss Seligman portrayed the difficult role of Pauline Marsh, the demented girl. It is entirely different from anything she has attempted hitherto this season. Edmund D. Lyons, as Dr. Ceneri, appear- ed to better advantage than In anything he has attempted since he became a member of the company. His death scene was es- pecially strong; but was marred somewhat by Malcolm Williams, who insisted in standing between Lvyona and the calcium light and preventing his features being seen. The part of Macari, the arch v.llain, was admirably presented by Frank Losee. Mal- coim Williams had the part of Gilbert Vaugn. In his love making scenes Mr. Wil- liams was strong, but in the heroics he was artificial. Marion Elmore did a clever bit of character acting as the boarding-house keeper. James M. Colville, the new leading man, reached St. Louts Sunday evening and wit- nessed “Called Back” from a box. He will appear in the title role of “Cyrano de Ber- gerac’’ next week at the Imperial.
