The municipal corporation has formally shouldered the task of encouraging society functions for the purpose of bringing to- gether the young people of that beautiful suburb.

NDW YORK, Dec. 3.—Thurlow Wee Barnes has brought suit tn the Supreme Court against the American-China Devel- opment Co, for $1,000,000 for services in ob- taining railroad concessions from the Imper- ial Chinese Government, through the Chi- nese Minister at Washington. These concessions are worth profits of at least $12,000,000 to the company, and they may be worth $24,000,000 and $300, OHO iS alli that was su'bscribed of staked. The grants — the most valuable ever made by the hinese Government to foreign capit talists. aad the terms are more favorable than the concessions obtained in recent years by Mrench, Belgi tn, ienglish and Russian syn- dicates, he trial of the suit will be of interest and will be carefully watched by representatives of the great finunct: il insti- tutions in all the money centers of the world, as the testimony wil] reveal in de- tail all the manipulations consequent upon the perfecting of one of the highest finan- Clal operations of the king ever conducted.

To-day Sheriff Davenport went to Spring- field in compliance with a letter from Will, who stated he had sent the 32 to the Springfield authorities, and the prisoner would be turned over. It was the Sheriff's last official act, as his successor assumes the office Monday. He reached Springfield at noon, the prisoner’ was turned over to him, went willingly, and was driven to the Chicago & Alton depot. The train left Springfield at 4 o'clock.

These cases have attracted wide atten- tion from the legal fraternity on account of the questions of law involved, and have excited iocal interest by reason of the prop- erty values affected; while the Iiterateur @nd student of history finds a peculiar charm in the quaint methods they reveal of conducting business and correspondence fin the early days of Missouri's statehood.

He had ter- rible trouble there, he said, trouble to break hia heart. Even to her he could not talk of it. She remarked that in these he always brought out a box tographs and selected a few, at which he gazed. These pliotographs were of a beau- tiful woman—a Woman with the eyes and Ups and form of a Venus. In one ghe was @rrayed like a fairy. Stars gleamed on her forehead and she. seemed to float upon clouds. In another e6he was in fleshings of silk; another, robed like a Japanese woman, she ‘held her gold embroidered kimono with one hand and twirled a fan coquettishly over her head with the other. In yet an- other she was in a sumptuous gown resplesdent with might rik ' Mrs. Abel knew that these pictures were those of her husband's sister, the famous prima bellerina of Vienna, Mile. Katie Abel once, now the Comtesse Verich de Slavetie. Why the sight of this radiant creature should always bring the look of gloom to her husband's face she did not know. Some- times he spoke of her beauty and kindneas of heart. And when the howling of the wolf was loudest outside the door the wife would suggest that the artist apply to this rich, kind-hearted sister for help. But his stern answer Was aiways, “‘No, that is im- possibiec."’ “Why was it {mporsible? What undeviating path this manly young spirit had marked out for himself? Why, he was ready to drop by the wayside, not the glitter of his sister's gold tempt him? Because it was the price of dishonor! the hus dark hours of old pho- gems a princess was the lives In Vienna in the State of a queen. She has a court all her own. Certain Austrian lords neglect the levees of lranz Josef for hers. She has carriages, horses, jewels. She is the envy of many women in Vienna.

A fam- ous theater manawer chanced to seg ber dance at the house of a friend, She was yoon in the opera, the idol of Vienna.

Her afternoon drives were hke the passing of royalty, for all gorts of peopie fiocked to see her drive by, en- veloped in laces and furs and carrying it off with the manner of a Duchess. Katie Abel had a fine establishment, her own Carriages and servants in livery, Her enliary was the largest ever paid to a dancer in Vienna.

LOUIS AND THE WORLD'S FAIR. lo the members of the Citizens’ Committee of Fifty on the Centennial Celebration of the Loulsiana Purchase realize the ‘meaning and force of the resolution adopted as the conclusion of the committee's work? That resolution merely provides for a convention of delegates from the several States and Territories in the Loulsiana Pur- chase, to be held in St. Louts “for the purpose of determining the time, place and manner of fittingly commemorating the centennial anniversary of the acquisition by the United States of the Loutsiana territory.” The issuance of the call for the convention, the appointment of delegates, and all the necessary preliminaries to securing the co-operation of the other States are left in the hands of Gov. Stephens. There is in the resolution no affirmation on the part of St. Louis that a World's Fair or any other form of celebration should be held. There is no assumption that 8t. Louis is the leader in the movement fof a celebration. There is no statement or hint of the paramount claim of St. Louls as the location of any centennial celebration of the Louigiana Pur- chase; nor is there the slightest expression of desire on the part of St. Louls to have the celebration. What must be the effect of a resolution of this kind emanat- ing from the representatives of the citizens of St. Louis? Does it not create the impression that 8t. Louls Is indifferent, if not opposed,’ to a World's Fair, or any other form of publie celebration? Does it not appear from the reading of the resolution that St. Louis has practically surrendered the,lead- ership of the movement and is willing to have any other city assume it and secure the honor of holding the cele- bration? Does it not turn over to the convention the entire determination of the question of celebrating the event, of the time and location, without the slightest intimation that St. ' Louts ts a candidate for the place? There is no reason to believe that Gov. Stephens is opposed to St. Louls, or would oppose any claims that 8t. Louis might bave as the location of the Centennial celebration. But the St. Louls people, through their committee, place in his hands _ the power of initiative and the practical direction of the con- vention. In short, St. Louls places herself wholly in the hands of the Governor and the convention, and throws aside as a matter of indifference the celebraffon itself, the time, location and form. What*must be the consequences to St. Louts of a failure to have an adequate centennial celebration of the Louisiana Purchase, or, if such a celebration is held, the failure of Bt. Louls to secure it? When the question of the location of the Columbian Expo- _gition was_up for determination, St. Louls was a pressing The St. Louls business men guar- Representatives eandidate for the honor. anteed a fund of $5,000,000 for this purpose. ef St. Louts pressed the claims and advantages of the eity, and made her a strong competitor of Chicago, In the selection of Chicagg as the location of the Columbian World's Fair it was thoroughly understood that the next great World's Fair should be held in St. Louls. Chicago's repre- sentatives pledged themselves not to oppose, but to co-operate with St Louls to this end. Since then it has been generally understood that a World's Fair would be held tn St. Louts In celebration of the Centennial of the Loulsiana Purchase. This has been looked forward to as the next great exposition event In the United States. St. Louts Inaugurated the movement in this direction, and the press of the country has freely dis- cussed it and accepted the matter ag practically settled, de- pending wholly upon the energy, public epirit and resources of St. If St. Louls permits the Loutsiana Purchase Exposition to Grop, or if it permits any other city to secure the exposition, what must be the inevitable effect on the reputation and the fortunes of the city? WIll there not be a general conclusion that 6t. Louls ts incapable or afraid to undertake the task? Itis @ point of great import in the history of this city, and will De regarded as a crucin! test of the spirit and capacity of Ft. men. If we fail in this ef gaining the prestige which a successful World's Falr would Louts. Loutls’ business matter, instead give, we shall be tn danger of dropping back as a city in- tapabie of realizing or seizing an opportunity. Si. Louls is the omy proper loeation of the Centennta!l Cele- bration of the Louisiana Purchas®, The primary object of the purchase of Louisiana Territory Waa te secure to the United States & ods the mouth of the Missivsipp! River and the free navigation of the stream. Pres- Went Jefferson personally expressed this object, and the orig- imal instructions to the commissioners was to secure New | oe he : La 4 + * “ha ee ¥ > ee i ee oa Te eae 4 ? en: Orlenas and territory contiguous to the mouth of the Mis- sissippi and free navigation along its entire length. Out of this negotiation came the purchase of the entire Louisiana Territory. The chief significance of a celebration of the Louisiana Purchase would be to commemorate the beneficence of an act which secured to the United States not only the free navi- gation but the absolute possession of the great inland sea which divides the continent, with the magnificent domain contiguous thereto on the west. In short, it would be pecu- liarly a Mississippi! Valley and Mississippi River celebration. St. Louls is the metropolis of the Mississippi Valley. It is the prircipal port of the Mississippi River. It would be as absurd to held in New York a centennial cele- bration of the founding of Washington City as to hold In any city not on the Mississippi River the centennial celebration of the Louisiana Purchase. The river must be an essential part of the exposition. Properly there can be no competitor of St. Louis for the honor of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition except New Orleans, and New Orleans is out of the race. 8st. Louls ig the only place for the celebration. No other form of celebration except a World's Fair will se fittingly and beneficially commemorate the event. It must be @ great international expusition, exceeding in scope and magnificence any ever given in ‘this country, That is the only kind of fair that St. Louis can afford to give. Itrwill pay. All of the money that Chicago paid into her World’s Fair has been paid back, not in actual receipts from the fair itself, but In prestige, growth and business advantages, three times over. Chicago gained ten years’ of ordinary growth from the World's Fair. St. Louis will do the same thing. It will be an international advertisement of inca)- culable value. The cost of a World's Fair in St. Louis five years hence will be.far less for the same results than the Chicago World’s Fair. Chicago bore the cost of pioneering. St. Louis will profit by her experience. Omaha has shown that an exposition can be managed without pecuniary loss on the actual investment. St. Louls can distance Omaha. The best way to secure a permament memorial of the Louisiana Purchase is through a World’s Fair. Some of the buildings will be permanent, and St. Louis may, as Chicago has done, lay the foundation of a memorial of great value. There must be a World's Fair commemorating the Centen- nia] Anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase in 1903. St. Louis must have it. j = = ! a 4s Commissioner Harden’s Report.—Special Commissioner B. w Harden,who was appointed by the United States Government to investigate the financial and trade conditions in the Philip- pines, has made a thorough and comprehensive report, which once more gives evidence of his ability and industry. Commis- sioner Harden finds that the Filipinos are very conservative in financial matters, and that it will be difficult and tedious to educate them up to American methods. It will be ramember- ed that, priorto his aypointment as Special Commissioner, Mr. Harden won world-wide recognition as the wide-awake corre- spondent of The World and Post-Dispatch. His dispatch telling of Dewey's wonderful victory enabled the Post-Dig- patch and World to give the news not only ahead of all American newspapers, but of the entire European newspaper press. It was oneof the most striking newe beats of the century. ‘= The United States have bought over $5,000,000 worth of goods from Germany during the last quarter of a year in excess of the amount purchased during the corresponding quarter of 1897. This does not look as if Germany could well afford to fall out with Uncle Sam. = = ae The trade in bogus life preservers must be good when so many vessels have been provided with them.

Congress may have to make an appropriation to “win over” the insurgent leaders In her newly acquired islands. 8o many bank consolidations may lead some of our American bank clerks to look up the possibilities of agriculture.

Mr. McKinley hopes to make his message something that will outclass the farewell address of President Washington, which Is now so much out of date. In setting up the “right of conquest” as aclaim against undis- turbed possession of the Philippines our Filipino friends are fol- lowing a mighty bad precedent. It is time that the children should be looked after when maid- ens of 18 years are applying for marriage licenses. They should be either spanked or sent to good Aunt Mary for advice.

Miss Sue Jordan Volunteers to Nurse Smallpox Patients and Goes to Her Post of Duty With a Smile on Her Face. > A. —— | i ie MISS SUE JORDAN. Miss Sue Jordan is a heroine. She denies it, but that makes her the greater heroine, She has done that which calis for greater bravery and greater fortitude than men need who go into battle. She has gone to face all the dangers which the soldier goes to face. the same virtual certainty of suf- fering, the same chance of death. But her action is on a higher plane than that of the soldier. The soldier is sustained by the sense of numbers, inspired by mar- tial: music and cheering comrades, gteeled by war's passions and urged on by hopes of glorious reward. Miss Jordan goes alone into the quiet chambers where death lin- gers in loathsome form. She is sustained, inspired, steeled and urged on onty by her sense of duty. Like the soldier, she is a volunteer, Bhe has volunteered to nurse the victims of emalipox at Quarantine. Wihen smallpox broke out in the Lindsley family of 3696 Finney avenue and it became necessary to isolate at Quarantine three members—Ashby, Bradley and Baby Ruth— the need of a trained nurse arose. There is a resident physician at Quarantine, Dr. M. C. Woodruff, but nurses are only sent down there when they are especially need- ed. One was especially needed to nurse the smalipox victims. There are nurses in the employ of the city who could be assigned to the hazard- ous task, but this is never done, A volun- teer is always called for to Miss Warr, Superintendent that he needed a nurse for quarantine. Miss Warr called the trained gether and told Health Commissioner Starkloffm sent word graduated of the Ele | liott School for Nurses at 1224 Dillon street, | nuree, |eontracted smallpox nurses to- | Tuttle's them what was wanted. — eak of the There was no need for her to: t involved, dangers. They all knew what Miss Jordan said she would go. Within an hour she walked into the office | of Chief Dispensary Physician Jordan, who her cousin, “They want a nurse to go to quarantine,” she said quietly. “I guess I may as well gs She asked him how great would be the danger of contracting the disease. He told her that vaccination made one less lable to contract it, but was not by any means infallible. Still, if one who had been vac- cinated should contract the disease the probability of a fatal termination was very greatly diminished. “Well, vaccinate me,” she sald, “and I will go.’’ It was only the work of a few moments to vaccinate her, and with a cheerful “‘good- by’’ she left the old City Hall and took a Sixth street car. At the barracks she was met by a quarantine attendant with a bug- gy and driven the remaining mile and a half to the lonely quarantine. If Dr. Jordan's expectations of an epil- edmic of smal)ipox are realized it w'll prob- ably be many long weeks before she comes back. And she may never come .back. She may give her life.for others. She may con- tract the terrible disease and die there, If she should her last resting place would be among the victims of other plagues—the quarantine cemetery. It might be supposed that Miss Jordan would be well-paid for all this. She will not be. The uniform price paid by the city is $140 a month. If Miss Jordan were nurs- is ‘ing a privaie patient in a private West End residence she would be getting $3 a day. Miss Jordan is well equipped by knowl- edge and experience for her task. She has served two years at the City Hospital and During the epidemic of 18% a trained Miss Hunsacker, and Dr. Tuttle at Quarantine. Dr. attack was mild. but Miss Hun- sacker came very near dying.

Was an Engineer on the Road, Owned a Nice Home and Was Earning $150 to $200 Every Month. ~~ _— ELI J. STUBBLEFIELD, The robber who is said to be insane, was educated for the ministry. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SEDALIA, Mo., Dec. 3.—James I. West, a locomotive engineer, who is in jail here in company with Eli J. Stubblefield, a for- mer conductor on the charge of having at- tempted to hold up a Missouri Pacific pas- senger train five miles northwest of Se- dalia last Tuesday night, furnighes another instance of a man living a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde life. West is about 45 years of age, and was married a few years ago to a widow with two daughters, but has no children of his own. He has been running a freight en- gine on the Missouri Pacific between Se- dalia and Kansas City for the past seven years, and until. the present trouble there Was never aught against his good name. He owns a cosy residence on East Fifth street, and as he had a regular run on the road, earning from $180 to $200 each month, the general supposition was that he waé laying something by for a ig day. He belonged to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and stood well with the mem- bers of the order. He was also a member of the East Broadway Christian Church and no later than last Sunday he passed the contribution box at the @vening se: ‘ The.church to which West belonged erected a new church building during the past summer. The congregation is made up largely of railroad men and not one was more enthuelastic in raising funds for pushing the work than he, He contributed liberally himself, and never failed to upon his fellow Sunday. His home life, so far as known, all that could have been desired, and no wonder that the greatest surprise expressed when he was taken in custody Tuesday night, charged with being the leader of the Missouri Pacific holdup. During the past three days, however, the public has been thoroughly informed as to the other side of West's every day life. It has been learned that for months past he has been an inveterate gambler, the game of craps having an especial fascina- tion for him. It is told of him that no sooner would he get his check cashed than he would proceed to one of Sedalia’s pambiins dens, where he almost invariably ost a good portion of his previous month's earnings. So great was his mania for games of chance that he has been known to loan money to an acquaintance and then sit down in a game of poker with the same in- dividual in the hope, of winning it back. This has been going on for several months, It was generally known among the sport- ing fraternity, and West was looked upon as a “dead easy mark.”’ To Rev. F. L. Cook, pastor of the East Broadway Christian church, and the mem- bers of the congregation nothing was known of the shady side of West's life. To the non-church members who ran on the road with him West was known as a “lusher’’ as well as a gambler, and to his drinking ts largely attributed his downfall. Between liquor, dice and cards West began running behind financially, and it Is claimed that to-day he owes the local banks and railroad friends about $900, all of which has passed over the gaming table. Immediately after lg arrest’ Tuesday night West was committed to the County Jail. He was considerably under the in- fluence of liquor, and one-half an hour later he was sound asleep, nor did he STIX BAER.&FULLE .

During the forenoon he was Visited by numerous acquaintances. and then for the first time he apparently real- ized the serious predicament in which he had placed himself. Among his visitors was his pastor, Rev. Cook. -They conversed for several minutes and West wept as he realized his deep disgrace. To the divine the prisoner admitted that drink and gamb- ling had placed him where he was. but he begged that his friends would not desert him. “If Ll only get out of this,” he said I will show the world that I’ can be a true man.’ To representatives of the press West had nothing whatever to say. “Not one word,” he said, when asked by a repre- sentative of the Post-Dispatch if he had any statement that he cared to give to the public. There has been talk to the effect that the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- ineers, as a body, would do al] possible to eep West from donning the stripes, but this is denied by those who know whereof they speak. He has made his bed, they eay, and must Iie in it. Opinion has been divided as to whether West or Stubblefield was the originator of the holdup. Supt. L. D. Hopkins has talked very little regarding the case, but does not hesitate to say that it was West who planned the job. Ex-Mayor P. D, Hastain and Hon. John Cashman, two of the best criminal lawyers in Centra) Missourl, have been retained to defend the accused hey will not admit that the case is a bad one for their client, but Sedalians, without exception, think that if they get for West the minimum punishment—1l0 years’ ~ onment in the penitentiary—they W!! oe doing exceedingly well.

Otto, Manager of Hephzibah Rescue Home, has met Mrs. Mattie Block and had several conferences with the col- ored people, with a view of starting a Rescue Home for colored girls. They have succeeded in organizing a board of 14 colored women. A committee from this board met yesterday with the Board of Hephzibah Rescue Home, and it was de- cided to render the colored people assist- ance under the direction of Mrs, Otto, who will keep a close oversight of the work and see that it is carried on properly. Mrs. Block will be in charge of the Home and its interests; also will be authorized to collect for the work. The plan is to have a Rescue Home and influence all the colored girls to attend it and undergo a course of training spiritu- ally, metally and morally, as well as a course of training for household duties; and making this an intelligehce office for people who desire colored help, letting the money thus coming In go towards the sup- port of the Home. Anyone wishing to aid in starting this work may send money di- rect to Mre. M. E. Otto, 2813 Lucas avenue, designating that it is sent to the Colored Hevhzibah Rescue Home. The subject of a building came up in the board meeting, and it was decided to ask the ladies of the Institutional Mission Home, 2628 Lucas avenue, to turn over that building, as they are no longer doing rescue work. While the money collected to pur- chase the puneine and furnish it was for a rescue mission, If this building can be gse- cured there will be no need to call on the public to house the work. If not, quarters must be rented. TO-MORROW BEGINS MERMOD & JAC- CARD’S MEMORABLE GRAND CHRISTMAS OPENING AT THEIR THREE (3) GREAT STORES NEAR BROADWAY AND LOCUST. SEE THESE GREAT DISPLAYS.

Hc Was a Well-Known Physician and Had a War Record. Dr. John C, Cummings, one of the oldest and best-known homeopathic physicians in the city and State, will be buried this after- noon from his late residence, 3614 Olive street. . The doctor was a resident and prominent physician of St. Louis for 23 years. He was one of the founders of the St. Louis Chil- dren's Hospital and was its consulting phy- Sicilian until shortly before hig death. He was also for a number of years consulting physician for the Memorial Home of Mis- souri for Old People, and shortly before his death resigned the chair of hygiene, sanita- tion and children’s diseases in the Homeo- pathic Medical College of Missouri, He resided in Kansas City and New Or- leans before he came to St. Louis. He served with distinction through the Civil War as surgeon in Virginia, Tennessee, Loulsiana and Mississippi, and at its close was surgeon in chief of the Transmissis- sipp! Department of the Confederate States. When Gen. Buell, of the Union forces, en- tered Nashville he found Dr. Cummings in charge of the hospital there, with both Union and Confederate wounded under his care. The General gave him a safe pass- port through his lines and told him to take all the quinine and medicines he wanted with him for the use of the Confederate sick. He was a graduate of the Universities of Tennessee and Pennsylvania and received the degree of M. A. from the former short- ly after the war. He became a convert to homeopathy in New Orleans after the war. He was well known in both schools and was a frequent contributor to the leading medical journals of the country of both schools. .

A small but ap preciative class listened to a learned and eloquent discourse on “Ethics.” This class will get a text book and go to work in earnest. Mr. Collins, on “Realism in Education,” drew a large and appreciative audience, This may also be said of the popular and gifted lecturer, Mr Francis E.

Bratton, the well-known horse- man, and probably the best four-in-hand whip in the country, is home again after a successful Campaign at the New York Horse Show. “I can honestly say,’’ laughed Mr. Brat- ton Saturday morning, “that I broke in front and was in at the death at the great exhibition at Madison Square Gar- den. Sampson opened the ball for me the first night of the show by capturing the blue ribbon for single high-steppers, and Sampson and Sigsbee danced in the last set the closing night, when they car- ried off the blue ribbons and the cham- pionship cup for carriage pairs. “Of course, there were differences of Opinion as to the merits of the horses sho®n, and with some of the awards made by the judges. AS an example, i the class for high steppers, not under all-round artion only to be considered, ny horse Sampson could outgo all his oppo- nents at a fast gait and should have been given the blue. “In the ‘competition. for was universally admitted that my team was the fastest, as well as the easiest driven in the ring. Bates beat me solely because my horsés had not entirely covered from the gruelling they got at the St. Louis Horge Show.”’ read fours, it rP-- “Hlorse shows have come to stay.” con- tinued Mr. Bratton: “Their usefulness and value is more fully demonstrated each succeeding vyear. The St. Louis Horse Show has afforded a multitude of’ obiect lessons to our citizens who wish to ride behind a good horse and has helped to make St. Louis the best horse market this side of the Allegheny Mountains. The speed sale to be held at the National Stock Yards from Tuesday to Friday of this week will brine under the hammer the greatest collection of race and road horses, trotters and pacers ever seen this side of New York. Consignors of such acknowl- edged business ability as H. L. Duvenick, J. T. Crenshaw, J. T. Fargason & Son, J. P. Arnold, Enos and Irwin. Hickory Grove and Maple Springs Stock Farms have de- cided that St. Louis offers the best mar- ket for the disposal of their horses and have given expression to this belief by sending their stock to the National Stock Yards. “As an evidence of the extraordinary high class of the horses to be offered this week, that stallion now being exercised in the midway is Massowa. a 65-vear-old son of Mazatlan, whose sire was the great Elec- tloneer. Massowa is bred on ultra fash- ionable lines. H's pedigree is simply a re- cital of the names of some of the greatest broodmares that ever wore a halter, such as Rosemont.

The statement that Charles Mitchel] is coming to this country to fight Tom Shar- key has occasioned considerable surprise in boxing circles. Mitchell has no more business with Shar key than a blind man would have. Four years ago Mitchell met Corbett at Jacksonville, Fla., and in the three rounds they fought Corbett used the other fellow as a mop. He literally wiped up the floor with him. Then and there Mitchell proved himeelf a very poor “hus been.” He was never in it with Corbett, and the cleverness that were his when he fought with Jack Burke and later with John ‘L.

The fact still remains that McVey came into the ring at a time when he could not have claimed a foul or been there to save Corbett from defeat, as he now claims. ‘There was no foul being commlit- ted at the time. Corbeit, in the opinion of the referee, hag none the worst of it and was no nearer beaten than Sharkey All the meetings and family investigations which can be held in a year cannot con- vince the public of the innocence of the officials of the club, the fighters or anv one concerned.

Does the Lenox Club expect the public, which believes the bout to have been a farce, to go out and find McVey. or any one else? The public is waiting for the proof which the Lenox Club was to produce that the bout was perfectly square. It would be a good with the public.

At the Kremlin, Moscow and also at the winter palace, His Majesty has rooms especially fitted up for this exercise. He usually dons four-ounce gloves and the airy costume worn by gym- nasts, and for an hour each morning boxes with some member of his household. To refuse a bout with the Emperor offends iim. So hard a hitter jis he that less athletic noblemen about the court stand in posit.ve terror of a command to spend an hour try- ing to stand up in front of their imperial master. Recently however, he met his match in Prince George of Greece. When that blonde giant was told. by the Czar to box as though he meant it. he promptly let go his left, and with such force that the little father of all the Russians landed on his back. Raising himself on his elhow and rubbing his head he said: “George, you see me as every government in Europe TIPS FROM THE TURE LOTS OF NEWS OF INTEREST TO THE FOLLOWERS OF THE RACING GAME. TOM NEPPER’S GOOD LUCK. He Is Cutting a Wide Swath at the Meeting of the Crescent City Jock- ey Club With Bennett’s Horses. The most satisfactory feature so far de- veloped at the New Orleans meeting is the phenomenel form displayed by the horses owned by turfmen who annually patronize the St. Louis Fair Grounds meeting. Saturday was only the ninth day of the 'Crescent City Jockey Club season, yet Geo. (. Bennett, J. T. McHale, old man Ben- son and others have already reached the condition of **being on velvet,”’ which is generally gained only after a long and ar- duous compaign. George Bennett’s luck at New Orleans has been really remarkable. With a very small stable of horses he has averaged a race a day since the meeting opened. Thursday he capped the climax by pulling down three purses in one aftermeon. A somewhat singular coincidence about the winning horses which for 90 days this season were campaigned at the local Fair Grounds, is the consecutiveness of their successes at the senior Southern track. Hittick and David have each captured three _ races right off the reel. Forbush, Laureate and Miss Lizzie have won twice. “Follow St. Louis” has of late been as good a tip as the famous one given out by Baron Roths- child of ‘“‘Follow the Baron,” the year the millionaire racing banker made almost a clean sweep of the great English events with his great pair of mares, Hanneh and Corisande. In far distant California the St. Louis horsemen wintering on the Pacific Coast are also getting a share of the plums hand- ed out by the Ingleside and Oakland track managements. Dan Honig, with Zamar IIl.. Ed Gartland II., Our Climate and oth- ers, has got his hay and oats money for many moons to come. Barney Schreiber’s horses, whose special forte in the early days of the California season appeared to be the acquisition of second place, have happily taken a tumble to themselves, and, thanks to the efforts of Jerry Hunt, Im- perious and Greyhurst, the Master of Woodlands has struck a winning gait, which probably came none too soon. W. Overton is temporarily on the shelf, and will be an absentee in the $2000 Pre- liminary Derby to be run at New Orleans Dec. 17. The elimination of the Schorrs colt from the lst of probable starters gives a more open look to the race and will en- courage several owners to incur the start- ing fee, whose horses, had W. Overton sported silk, would have remained in their stalls. Mr. Schorr is momentarily in hard luck. Macy and Sea Robber can land in second place, but the Memphis brewer has yet to handle the pretty silk purses hung out by the Crescent City Jockey Club and which carry with them the biggest end of the money. The let-up of W. Overton may be a bless- ing in disguise. A good long rest is what the colt needs, and at the Memphis meeting 1e should easily make up for his present term of enforced idleness. A particularly healthy symptom of the increasing popularity of racing among rep- resentative St. Lou'isans is the recent ac- quisition of high-priced and fashionably bred thoroughbreds by men well known about town. C. C. Maffit has added the speedy sprinter Tom Collins to his small but select stable. Col. Cass‘dv last week commenced to get together the nucleus of a new string of horses by the purchase of Air Blast and Kitty B. W. E. Jordan, who acted as Cassidy’s commissioner at the Igexington sales, also brought home with him a beautifully bred St. Florian. Ambu- lance Youngster. A new aspirant to local racing laurels, John S. Bratton, brought back from New York three well-bred and racy-looking fillies. One of these fashion- able juveniles is by A, Cussatt’s great sire The Bard, out of the imported Macaroon. The remaining two are by Tat- tler, out cf Gem and Melinda respectively. Larry Kavanaugh, the well-known horse- man, will on Monday act as assistant auc- mare | — EDWARD HART J TAILOR, N. E.

The Football THE LEAGUE OF AMERICAN WHEELMEN HAS FOUR CAN- DIDATES TO CHOOSE FROM. ALL ARE FROM THE EAST. The Referee Tells How Things Are Standing and How the Political Pot Is Boiling and Bubbling Over. Thomas J. Keenan, Jr., of Pittsburg is the latest nominee for the office of Presi- dent of the L. A, W. This makes four possible candidates but he is the second one to announce himself for the much-coveted place. At the present those spoken of as the leaders of the wheelmen, tn addition to Mr. Keenan, are Isaac B. Potter, C. F. Kireker and George D. Gideon. Potter has not ad- mitted to any one that he would run for a third term, though this is not expected at the present time, as the wily Eastern politician never telis his plans and will not take the public into his confidence. It may be that he is laying nis wires quietly and then again he may be tired. The most probable eituation is that he has not de- cided what he will do, and does not wish commit himseif or say anything now which would compromise him later. C. F. Kireker of that he was a candidate, sidered a factor and is riously., New Jersey hae said but he Is not con- not regarded se- Following Potter’s plans, George D.

It tacitly understood at the last assembly when the Pennsylvania division decided to support Keenan and Potter, that those delegates only pursued that course be- cause they had promised to support Potter in advance and that in the year 1899 Pennsy would be out for the presidency itself, with Gideon as the leader. Keenan got the frst vice-presidency. He was on the Potter ticket and the Keystone men felt that they could not have two candidates. Their de- sires were for Gideon, but they stuck to their pledge to Potter. Pennsylvania is to-day the leading di- vision in the L. A. W., having recently passed New York in point of numbers, and feels that it is entitled to the chief office. With either Keenan or Gideon she ought to win. Ae for Keenan's candidacy, while it might have been expected, it is looked upon as an ungracious act. Every one Knew that his State would want the présidency in 1899, and it was chiefly for this reason that Keenan was so anxious to secure the first vice-presidency so that he could keep him- self before the public. When the dispute over the ticket in Pennsylvania came up last year, the sentiment was very strong that Keenan should get off the Potter tick- et and allow the State to support Gideon, but Keenan forced the de:egates to keep their word. And while they did so, and while there Was no contract, it was the general understanding that Keenan: would get out of Gideon’s way in 1899, and leave a clear field for the latter. But Keenan has used his office as a stepping stone and will give battle for the higher one. He wil] have to fight it out in his own State, for if Pennsylvania decides to support either him or Gideon, the other will be out of it. It has been said that Gideon went against his own State by running against Potter, but Gideon did not run. Some of his friends put his name up and voted for him but he made no effort at all. But then Gideon may refuse to run this year and that would simplify the whole thing. For the Vice-Presidencies, two men have been spoken of to me, although they have not come out publicly. Wallace Sherwood, Chief Consul of Indiana, wants the first, and George D. Locke, Chief Consul of Ili- nois, wants the second. Sherwood is an ag- gressive, energetic man, and has done much for his division. He won national publicity by advocating a plan to have the L. A. W. members club and buy their bicycles at wholesale reduced rates. This plan caused the manufacturers to rise up in arms, and it was abandoned. Locke has been Secretary-Treasurer of his division for several years, and this year he caught his opponents napping and cap- tured the Chief Consulship. The I[llinols di- vision has been asking for office for many vears In vain, and the condition of the di- vision, which has such a large city as Chi- cago in it, has operated against it. Locke 1as a few months before the assembly meets to show what he can do with his division, and if successful with that he will, no doubt, be rewarded. The Century Road Club of America has nominated A. L. Mace of St. Paul for its President, and C. M. Fairchild of Cleve- land for Secretary. For the Missouri Di- vision Dr. J. T. Sibley is nominated for Chief Centurion and Frank Stark for Sec- retary-Treasurer. The six-day grind has commenced In New York, and the promoters of the big race have shown themselves adepts at clever scheming. At the last assembly the L. A. Ww. assed a by-law forbidding races of over 72 hours in duration, and even then the men were to have two hours’ rest each day. It will be seen, then, that no race could be run which lasted longer than three days, This wus done in the interests of humanity, as the reports of the six-day race last year showed that the riders suffered terribly, and the L. A. W. was blamed for sanction- ing such events. Of course the promoters in New York did not wish to abandon the event, for it is a great money maker. They wanted the coin, and as they had to have riders to race they ylanned to get all of the big men out of the Pp. A. W. before the time set for the race, This was why the rebellion took place last fall. It was fomented by the six-day pro- moters, and they succeeded in having the principal racing men suspended. Now the race will be run without sanction. But what will the riders do when the race is over. The New York promoters cannot support all the racing men, and other pro- moters will not hgaye outlaws. The rating men have been play ed upon by the money- getters, and will be left to hold the bag.

As it was, there was no marked advance until] Thursday. In fact, until then, December wheat was down % and May up only 14, but with higter cables, reports of extremely low stocks in the United King- dom and clearances on that day of over 1,600,000 bushels. December advanced 14¢c and May %@#fle, but this advance did not hold through Friday, which saw a decline of ‘sc. Still there was a gain of le for December and *sa1c for May for the week ending yes- terday. In spite of the extraordinary large clear- ances, however, the rece.pts at primary points were so lurge that the visible supply will doubtless show a fair increase. Chi- cago estimates the increase at 1,125,000 bu, but this is probably too liberal, and more conservative estimates place it at between (Wi Du to 1,000,000 bu, with probably the iowest figure nearer the actual. How long will this European demand keep up’ If anyone could foresee that he would be able to make a better guess on the pros- pects. It has kept up now longer than any- one expected, and but for the large crop prices would now be not far from the point where Leiter forced them at this time Iast year, eome 2c per bu more than at pres- ent. Excepting only certain districts of Russia, crop reports from Europe have been uniformly good, still the demand for American wheat keeps up right along; nor does the European visible supply increase proportionately to the exports, while the United Kingdem visible decreases, at Liverpool being particularly low. ; a sort of Egyptian puzzle as to what Eu- rope is doing with all the wheat are sending over there. It must be remembered, however, that the European crop jis harvested very much later than ours, and by the time threshing is over, and the grain marketed winter has set in, and the crop movement is hardly got well in full swing. It is therefore to be expected that. when Europe begins to move its wheat freely that the demand for Amer- ican will slacken, and with a more pro- nounced accumulation of stocks prices will show a tendency to decline. May ie now lc lower than December and July—just put on the speculative board—is ic lower than May, but of course the July price contem- plates the crop of 1899, the acreage of which promises another bumper, with ordinary weather and conditions. The big shortage in materialize. On the last day of November when, if at all, the shorts were to be squeezed, prices went slightly down instead of- up as a result of liquidation.

Parker's grief at being separated from her son was deep and she determined, if possible, to have him with her in spite of the court's order In Aug., 1898, the boy was staying with his grandmother, Mrs. Mary kK. Varker, near Quincy, lil. Mrs. Parker, Jr... went to the home of Mrs. Parker, Sr., secured the child and, with- cut the knowledge and consent of hig grandmother, brought him to St. Louis. Mr. Parker was soon informed of the .dia- tppearance of his child, and he immediate- y instituted proceedings against Mrs. Park- tr to compel her to return the child to him. Mrs. Parker did not deny that she had possession of the child, but she maintained that she should not be compelled to restore him to his father until Mr. Parker should arrange to have him cared for by some other person than the senior Mrs, Parker. whom the defendant believed to be unfit to rear a child. Mrs. Parker, junior, elleges as proof of her unfitness that Mrs. Parker, senior, is a fortune teller, palmist and phrenologist and that on every occasion that she has told the fortune of Mrs. Parker, junior. she has pictured a gloomy future for her and assured her that she would never mount to any higher place in the world than that of boarding-house keeper. These predictions have always caused great distress of mind to Mrs. Parker, ju- rer, and have crushed her ambitions. She fears that her son, whom she says she loves dearly, may be subjected to the samé dis- couraging experiences and have his hopes in life blighted by them It is admitted that Mrs. Parker, senior, has always manifested great interest in and affection for her grandchild, and that fhe has taken good care of him. The only ground upon which the defendant refuses to give up the boy is the fear that his £randmother will do his energy and ambi- tion great injury by unfolding to him a dark and unhappy life. Che child was with his mother during the trial, and testified his affection for her by lounging on her lap and putting his arms about her neck frequently. The defense attempted to make Capital out of these vemonstrations, urging upon the court that the wishes of the child to be with his mother ought to be considered in the final decision. But Judge Spencer said that the child was too young to exercise any dis- cretion in important a matter. — as See four- 229x125 sold to men. is good, with 6 on residences with money good se- central A Ee tan eg L, Personal.

The most important all-cash transaction of the week was the Sale by Peter O'Neil to Daniel Catlin of the lot 29x109, with the five-story building, Nos. 1128 and 1130 Olive street, at the corner of the 20-foot alley immediately east of Twelfth street, for $70,000. The mercantile structure is an ex- ceedingly good one, has the alley at the side and one in the rear, is equipped with every modern convenience, is leased to a furniture house for $4100 a year and is | valued at about $18,000. This would make | the transfer equivalent to about $1800 a front foot for the ground alone, or about $2400 for the ground and improvements. Mr. Catlin owns the 48 feet next adjoining th’s on the east, improved with a building erect- ed at the same time and harmonious with | this one. and the purchase gives him, there- fore, 77 continuous feet from the alley east.

The present Duildings, which were built in 1892 and are as good as new, cost $21,743.15 and the machinery and tools, which are in first-class order and condition, cost $41,438, besides thousands of dollars worth of ger and new machinery added. To this we vave acded the Standard Nut Lock, approved by the Pennsylvania Railroad officials, also one of the best gas and gasoline engines on the mar- ket and the ‘‘Aetna Safety Water-Tube Boiler,’ patented by J. Hazlett of Kingston, Ont., and quite extensively in use there. For particulars 6ee our prospectus, CAPITAL STOCK, There are 25,000 shares of capital stock, par value $100 each, and a majority of these are held in escrow with the 275 lots for parties put- ting up the necessary cash to move the plant and pay off the remaining indebtedness and creat- The stock issued for val- uable patents and services was issued without Lots only accompany stock when the par- up cash, making their money a safe and sure investment. Also putting the in the hands of stockbolde “VALUE OF STOCK, The present plant and machinery cost over $63.- 000, besides new machinery added, In addition, the plant eite, three and one-half acres, with free fuel, worth £5000. with the lots worth at least 50,000, making the stock worth in real assets $4.00 on the share Thus making $4.00 in stock and $2.00 in city lots for every dollar invested. DIVIDENDS. With the large trade of the o'd Duvall En- gine Co., and the large orders for our Nut Lock, and with free fuel. we think that within a very reasonable time after we get started to manu- | factnring we can pay dividends on the capital stock, one per cent on capital stock bought at two cents on the $1.00 would be fifty per cent on the investment, while the money that is invest- ed can be doubled by the ea'e of the real estate within a year. $25,000 would be one per cent on the capital 6tock. If the plant could earn year, that would be six per cent on the capital stock, and put the stock to par: mak- ing $50,000 to every $1000 invested, besides the rea! estate or city lots.

Will a coal mine fail? The evidence is the gas will last for years. Millions have been made in the past ten years, and millions more cap be made in the next ten years to come. Then we are near the great coal fields, and can get coal cheaper than St. Louis, which solves the fuel prob- PLACE TO LIVE. Flwood {is a hea'thy city and growing, and a Pleasant place to live in; but many men who have made their millions there do not live there, but have their offices in large cities, like Chicago. Pittsburg and New York. They invested their capital and put competent men in to manage for them. Why cannot St. Louls capitalists do likewise ? We have competent men to run our plant. Mr. Korte, the genera! manager, has been with the p'ant since 160. Messrs. Taylor and Hazlett sre also competent machinists to super- intend such a plant.

It is not a substitute for individual Christianity. It holds that Christian socialism follows from individual] Christianity. Christian socalism enounces the social law it has learned from Christ. It declares tat all men are the children of God's creation; that they are not merely Individuals; that they are born pnited; that the worid is one organism. ‘They find the law for the social life in the Mosaic revelation, which founded a theocracy, No jAndividual could own the land in fee simple: He could only use it. It cared for the unfortunate, It forbade usury. It defended the worker in the own- ership of clothes, tools, etc. The law was truly socialistic. It provided in the name of society for both land and capital for every family. “Christian socialism would strive to ful- fill the social law by striving to build up practicaily a socialism based on Christ. it would ald the eight-hour movement, It would reduce the hours of labor. It would favor direct legislation through the tInitla- tive, the referendum and proportional rep- resentation. It would emancipate woman, as well as man, It would develop a true municipalism. It would have the city em- ploy the unempioyed in ways not to com- pete with present Iabor. It would have cities obtain the funds for doing this by conducting gas works and surface frall- roads for a profit for the city. “Chistian Socialists would have the na- tlons own and manage railroads, the tele- graph, expressage,.etc. In every way it would replace competition by fraternal com- bination, and it would press toward reform in all these ways. It is not one reform. It is many reforms on one principle. Per- haps most-important of all is land reform. Christian Socialism would revert to the Bible principle that God is the owner of all the earth and men only entitled to its use. It would therefore favor the reclaimipg of all the land for the use of all the people by taxing land values on a graduated scale and increasing every few years until finally the whole value of the natural resources of the earth be taken for the people and not for the favored few.’”’ Mr. Bliss was in Constantinople. His father was a missionary. He was a Congregationalist before he became an Episcopalian. He became interested in so- cial questions through observing the con- dition of workingmen in factory villages. He progressed rapidly to a Christian So- cialist of the most advanced type He Is only 42 years old, but he has written sev- eral books and many pamphlets on Chris- tian Socialiem, and edited a pretentious encyclopaedia of social reform. He has edited the Dawn and the Amer- can Fabian, Christian Socialist monthiies. He organized the Church of the Carpenter in Boston, which carried out, as far as possible, the principles of Christlan social- ism. His home is now in Alhambra, Cal. His work is confined to lecturing. His personality conforms well good-will gospel which he preaches, lie is ~wentle, as an altruist should be. He has magnetism. He is a man of force and decision. He is an organizer, a man of practical methods. He has a tre- mendous grasp of detail. He tells how a thing can be done, rather’ than what schould be done. He does not denounce capitalism and capita He says capl- talists are not necessarily bad men. Many of them would do justly if they could. Put he denounces unsparingly the mis- taken system which makes capitalism pos- born with the personal lists. sible. Mr. Bliss is Hie wears a tall aac Spare, settlements, beard. He has refined features and a cul- tured enunciation. He is not an entirely effectivé public speaker. His addresses are well organized, but they lack cumulative effect. He presents his facts convincingly, but not in a manner to appeal to emotion. He has great earnestness and convinces all who hear him of his sincerity. EV. GUSTAVUS TUCKERMAN is a unique man, doing a unique work. He is the parson—borrowing a desig- nation from him—of St. Stephen's Epiecopal Mission House, at Sixth and Spruce streets. Few people, as numbers go, know of its existence. Fewer know for what the name stands and what is going on, what problems of tremendous import are being worked out, in that odd-looking building. The people who know Rev. Gustavus Tuckerman and St. Stephen's Misssion intimately are the people who are deeply Interested in those problems. If St. Stephen’s Mission were located in London, probably as many people in St. Louis would know of its workings and something of the personality of its ‘“‘par- . WHAT CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM IS. By Rev.

It would reduce the hours of labor. It would favor direct legislation through the initiative, the refer- endum and proportional represen- tation. It would emancipate wo- man as well as man.

That is what consti- tutes its uniqueness. It is a mission and a social settlement. It is one of the very few exegmples of a successful combination of ‘alled ‘‘social’’ work. St. Stenhen’s Mission stitutional adjuncts and sectety so- is a mission and there are social but nowhere in St. Louis, and in few places in the country, are relig- ious work and institutional work being car- ried on together in such @ manner as at St. Stephen's Mission. What the mission Is for is due to Rev. Gustavus Tuckerman. He found it a miss'on. He broadened its mission In.its present aspect it represents in a small me: what he is, what his else and what it stands isure WHAT IS CHRISTIAN SOCIALI aspirations are and what he hopes to make it. He is an advanced Christian So- cialist. That is, he believes that the only solution of social questions and the only solvent of social ills is the gospel! of Christ, lived literally and applied organically. He is living it as literally as hampering con- ditions will permit. He is wretched be- cause he cannot live !t completely. He lives witmphis family in the mission building. Miss inker, who ts In charge of the distinctively settlement work, lives there, too. ‘There is a beautiful chapel, a library, reading rooms, kindergarten, rooms for boys’ and girls’ Clubs, baths and nearly every facility for ministering to the religious, moral and physical needs of the dense popwation among which the mis- sion exists and does its work. Several hundred families came under its influence. It is what is called an Institu. tional Church, but Mr. Tuckerman does not like the word institutional. “There is too much institutionalism in society and in the church,” he said. “The need is for personal contact and personal work. Institutions as means of personal work are all right, but institutions are too often substituted for personal work. “St. Stephen’s is not a parochial mission, A parochial mission is one supported by and drawing its sustenance from a parish. This work is in direct connection with the mission board of the church. I sustain the same relation to it as if I were out itn the country as a pioneer. It receives the neces- sary support from the board. The money raised by it goes into the board’s treasury. I hope it will never be otherwise. I have attended board meetings and heard joy ex- pressed over this or that mission becoming self-supporting. It always pained’ me. It meant the beginning of institutional selfish- is destructive of the unity which, in my conviction, is the true principle. ‘“‘My salary is paid by the board. It Its my dream to be able some day to say with Paul: : ‘““*Yea. ye yourselves know that these hands have ministered unto. my necessities and to them &hat were with me.’ “The church is akin to a close corpora- tion. Iam ata distinct aalvantage in going among the people as a paid servant of euch a corporation. The poor are intensely sus- picfous. They regard the church as a money-making institution and the purpose of it to equeeze as much as possible out of them... What a»commentary! “My idea of I'fe would be to form one of a colony of like-minded people who showld support themselves by the labor of their hands. Some might work while others went forth to preach and lecture, and vice versa. But I don't know what I could do that would enable me to make enough to work effectively. I wish that I had spent five years in business before I entered the ministry. I have no trade.” ness.

The things in Hfe which are inno- cently humorous appeal to him, but there is no place tn his hard tasks for humor, and he has placed his sense of huaggrm on a shelf. He takes it down sometimes and permits it to frisk, but he has developed a proneness to catch it and twist it into something grim. Wihen Rev.

Young and vigorous, he Was undaunted by the fact that seemingly unsurmountable difficulties confronted him. He labored fa thfully and succeeded in establishing a church; a hum- ble church, to be sure, but good enough for immediate needs. From this humble begin- ning he expects and hopes to build up a flourishing congregation and eventually to erect a church in a more desirable neigh- borhood.

He found several huhdred families of Slavonians, none of which was more than moderately prosper- ous. He found them attending the Bo- hemian churches, mainly, though some of them worshiped with Polish congregations. Retween these three languages—the Sla- vonic, the Bohemian and the Polish—there gulf, but the difference is so marked that the Slavonians desired to have a church and a pastor of their own. On this account the coming of Father Duchon was hailed with gladness, and by that same token he found his work easy. Although most heads of familles belong to the laboring class, he succéeded in a comparatively short time in raising siz. This amount was paid for the church building, and $80 more will be spent in decorating the interior. “Tl will reside in St. Louls permanent'y,” said Father Duchon. ““My congregation al- ready numbers 20, and I shall endeavor to have every Slavonic family in the city become communicants of my church at he earliest date posslbte. “The church willl grow as the Slavonians in the city learn of it.

Fowre days arco my lord of Buckingham from london, and calling me to closett, bade me make ready the one my lady of Shrews- mv lord’“Sandwich, the Ve- netian for Mr. Samuel Pepys, and the roome at the end of the gallery for Captain Conquest. Moreover, I was ordered ttock my larder with extraordinary cheere and bid the cook prepare a great gelatine with gely, and that pretty dishe of calves head enforced in a Surprize. And in glancing through my roome, after the mayds had tidied it, 1, too, had’a Surprize—to finding in a drawer one of her ladvships kissing strings, once pink and fluttering and now faded and soeyled and fitt for nothing so well as to furnish forth a text for some Puritan psalm- finger.

And my Lord did meet my Lord Sandwich very briscke, albeit they have In past times had one or two fallings out.

Conquest from the coach, having a rapier as any of my lord’s buck’ed about galligaskins and a faint white scar athwart the face. Then, after they had whiled away an houre at billiards to take the stifness from their legs, they supped that Mr. Pepys continued till my Lord, with a the lute my Lady left last which he, himself, had freshly tuned the morninge, and they all fell upon Mr. Pepys with many Oaths and protestat ching Bm to sing “Beauty, Retire!” at long last he was prevailed upon to touching the lute with a master’s deftnesrs in harmonies eweete as a memorie of the gentle days by- gonne and with a dying full at the end that brought a lump in my throat, were, to think that some wild love ts spent.

So I saw them no more till] high noon, when, es they stood in the hall looking at that tattered frag- ment ofthethe Roundheads battle flags which my lord has at the celling so to say hanged and quartered, I announced that dinner awaited their coming. Whereat Capt.

Rut much of their converse, be it confessed. was above my reach, Notwithstanding it made me right glad to see that the garnishing of the table gave them content, with !ts white cloath. and bugle hornes of double malted ale and two dozen oysters fresh from the brine, witha female lemon in their midst before each plate. And at either end was a filagon of canary sack, and on the dresser the gelan- tine and a langdebef boyled, and Mr. Pepys did notice the French silver forks and the Apostle spoone. Then the walters served a white pottage done in a casserole, and the rapes in {t were the cause of much seatter-brained jesting; though later, when the cowcumber was served flavoured with sweet-lips and naked ladies, my lord Sand- wich did erack such jokes as might have made a Tom Catt hide ’s face. So when had eaten a Ragoo they fell aboard their Christmasse turkey, stuffed with plums and tr'mmed with rosemary and laurel, drinking claret bumpere the while; in the midst whereof. without mincing matters. my lord bantered Capt. Conquest, asking why, throegh all these malievolent times, he had never felt a lust to marry. Whereat the Captain answered very gravely, “I have done with the whole gid- dy, giggling, gim-crack gang of them!’ And despite they plied him with Mala- aga and besought him to disclose why he was so scurrilous upon the pettycoats, yet for a long time he merely shook his head, though, to intimate it was a thing s0 particular and private as not to be broach- ed; till at length my lord protested it should go no further, begging him to take compassion now their relish for the tale was whetted. So coming from the pant- ler’s closett to serve herring roes, bedevilled mustard, which were to follow a stately pye by way of stomake-closer, I found the Captain had begun his narra- tive, albeit with a sailor’s customary hem- ming and hawing, and he w@s telling of Queen Henriette Marie’s being in Holland, and how she sold the Crown Jewels to the Dutch, which matter set him cursing Ruy- ter the Rotterdam Dogge, and the whole bleating flock of them, and he sayd: “Those were tragicall times, my Masters, with the Whyte King reduced to scruvy makeshifts, his munny sequestered, his plans miscarried, scarce one wise man at his Council Borde, every month as full of Surprizes as the fifth act of a comedy, while the Rumpers, ever more and more cantank- erous, came on apace, and it was nothing but alarums and ghastly scarecrows and fireballs and the Headsman’'s Axe, all over England. In those days—28 years syne come Candlemasse—I, with many other officers and servants, was with the Queen in Hol- land, where she raised two Million Pownds by sales amongst their High Mightinesses, they as with an& much of this having been sent to the Kirn® a part of the remainder was laid out in arms.,and martial stores wherewith we were presently to sayle for England to make a Diversion. And I was on the ship wherein the Queen sayled, which was com- manded by Captain Hyde, the same, wist ye well, that at St. James Palace—when the Queen nicknamed the first of the levellers ‘round-heads,’ because of their cropp’d polls—offered to clip their Eares that stuck out from under their hats, whereat they were sore-angered.\ “Amongst the ‘Queen's French damsels was one whom by your leave I will call only Yolande. And the véry first time I laid eyes upon her, I thought her as fayre a lass as ever was seen On the longest summer's day, and my harte wént pit-a- pat, so gMat all of a sud I knew what is meant by love at first Bight. And. the next thought that came into my noddle was that I would rather see her with a peddler’s pack at her back than married to ‘another. So as the dayes passed with oc- casional converse between us, and gantes and dances for ‘all in the evening for Her Majesty’s diversion, I once saw her dance les vieux sabots, which is a merty fan- dango the fine French ladies copied from the Normandy fisher gyriles, and with the beating of their leathern heels and toes make a noise akin to the clang and clatter of the fish-wenches’ wooden shoon. And whilst Yolande wheeled and curtseyed with quickened tolour, the rattle of her heels beating melodious time with the surpassing sweete tinkle.of the lutes, she cast a glance at me with her soft brown eyes— and in that half same instant I vowed within myself she should be my wife. The next evening as we were playing forfeits I wrote on a scrap of paper which the game caused me to put in her hand a saucebox rhyme; then beheld I that she pondrred the words and straightway smote me.-to the harte with a swift, stealthy look— and the very next day Miss None-so-pretty and I were secretly betrothed. Soon after we all embarked for England, Yolande be- ing sore afeared of the sea, but seeming somewhat hartened by the talk of one of the Queen's Gentlemen, the Vicomte de Malingre, an officer of the King’s monsque- taires and a mely-mouthed pickthank knave as ever went honey-mooning with the wenches. Now, you all know that on that voyage we were nearly cast away, the ship be- ing in no small jeopardy—the Queen alone of all the ladies preserving @her courage, and seeming as fit to reign over the storm tos’t waves as Gueene Bess in the Ruff ever was, and lustilvy calling to the land- lubbers and to the fayre Moppets about her. ‘A Queene of England was never vett drowned!’ Nevertheless, she could nowise revive their courage. and the day her women-folk being out ef wittes ‘twixt sea-sicknesse and the feare of Davy Jénes. some of them beside themselves to confess their misdeeds did sett upon a cer- taine Capuchin fryer, which was one of Her Majestie’'s Retinue, and had become so famous a favourfte with high and low as to seem the Anthony-pigge of all fryers. But he. being no little distraught with own ailements, could scarce hold up head to listen to the fine dames that jos- tled and clamboured their sinnes, entreat- ing to be ehriven ere the ship sink. And ‘twas a picture to ralse a smyle, even in that serious howre, as I passed by, to heere the galantnesse thus nolsily unfold- ed.’’ “The Queene,’’ remarked Mr. the Captain paused to sipp a glasse, our Englishe tongue with a twang canary seeds in a gingerbread.” “She spoke it thus!’ cried my lord, read- ing from a scrap whereon he scribbled and which I later found on the floor. And he began, in this queer satyr upon a letter writt by the Queene to ape the frenchified second their his ’s as “spoke lixe Pepys, * att z “| , wa _ “vig ~~ by : re - beg hie way z ’ 2 3 ~_ wen fe sf ; - Bile’ a? a eee ae re , » a er eee, a a ft, arn oe K ; - Z ey fe ee ei 5 iN a * a iy) xig.!

From its earliest settlement Hancock County, of which Greenfield ts the county seat. be- came one of the hottest political whiripools in the State. The boys from Hominy R.dge, which was then the only part of the county that was well out of the swamp category, used to ride into town! on election day and fight out their battles |with the town folks on the single street of the village After the street flatts were over they would ex- ercise the great American priv.jiege of the ballot box. Then they would ride their horses into the salooris, end after drinking ail the whisky in eligfit they would shoot out the lights and start for their homes on the r.dge like good, peareable and law-abid- ing oltizens. All through the latter part of the ‘30s the Whigs had thinge pretty much their own way in Hancock.’ For a long period they had experienced no difficulty in main- taining their ascendency, but in 184 the Demooratic leaders of the State concluded that it was high time for their party to make @ struggie In Hancock County and attempt to carry thelelection for State lepresentative. Tom Walpole, Gaya, was the ticket, and Joe Chapman was his Demo- cratic opponent Chapman thought he saw Gefeat in the alr and wag not making much of an effort to capture the office for which he had been nominated by his party.

In fact, Chapman thought so little of the letter from the Constitution office that as soon as he glanced his eye over it he dropped it on the floor of the postoffice without even going to the trouble of tearing {!t up. Kicking {It to one alde he walked out of the postoffice’' and thought no more of the Pattison eplstle unt!l his attention was called to {t very forcibly a few days later.

The foxy Walpole was always of an inquisitive turn of mind, and when he saw an untorn letter lying on the floor he 4'd not hesitate to pick it up. When he saw that it was ad- dressed to his political opponent his atten- tion was riveted at once. And when he found that the letter was of a political nature Walpole’s eyes began to bulge out and he read every line of it with tremen- dous glee and ill-suppressed excitement. After he had finished reading the epistie he tried to calm himself so that he could think. Finally he smiled and said to himself, “Eu- reka!" or worms to that effect. The next tesue of the Indianapolis Jour- nal, which was then a weekly paper, con- tained Pattison’s letter to Chapman in full. The Whigs took up “Crow, Chapman, crow,”’ and yelled it In derision at the Dem- ocratic candidate. “Crow, Chapman, crow,” had endurance, but not in burlesque form. The Democrats themselves drew in- spiration, even if Chapman did not, from the three words and soon they brought out the only real and genuine past master in the art of crowing, the rooster, and in a short time he became the recognized em- blem of the Democratic party. om © EOE Ok 6 RRR: ERE. . . = . . . n . ta Reve 2 - Z York, and merchant- of New apparently out rot well them were since we both of men. “ine day.

The Ship ’s band of about 1O pieces was got up on deck shortly after I took my post and played until 7 o’clock. The boys enjoyed themselves waltzing, most of them in their bare feet. After hammocks Call was sounded a boxing exhibition was given or the starboard side, while on the port punching the bag was the main attraction. Inone of the 8-inch. gun turrets the phonograph held a small crowd spell-bound. pelled to:-take part In the proceeding. Those who wanted to escape the penalty could do so by staying below all day and being guyed by the jollier crowd-for the rest of the trip. ‘There were very few who took advantage of this alternative, for the sim- ple reason that it would have taken about a dozen Turkish towels to keep one man dry on the berth deck that day. It would be a case of sweating to death. Outside of the above mentioned way of escaping no- body was expected, uniess they could show a certificate that they had crossed the line before, and this very few could do. The of- ficcers dexterously bought their way out by giving Neptune and his followers beer and cigars. As soon as Chief Neptune's au- thority was made known some 25 odd p»o- licemen, togged in gay savage costumes, begun their search for victims. I was on post from 8 to 10 o'clock, and as long as I wore the belt I was safe. As soon as I was relieved I was pounced upon by half a dozen savages who had been lying in wait for me. They dragged me up to the bridge. It was useless for me to resist, but I managed to gain a respite long enough to change my clothes, So, putting on an old undershirt and white pants, I ac- companied my captors to the executioner, and I had soon paid the customary trib- ute, which I will explain as best I can. Up on the bridge was a chair and into this chair I was hustled to get shaved. I no sooner sat down than I was smeared all over with a mixture of flour and molasses. Down my back, In my eyes and hair it went, rubbed on by a dozen hands, while a dozen more were whacking me with rubber clubs. The barber, with a wooden razor about the size of an axe, unmercifully plied his trade. Then, before I had time to think I slid down a wooden chute into four feet of salt water, which was held in a canvas about 30 feet square. There I was ducked and tossed until half drowned by the bears, as these latter tormentors were called. Then I was hustled out, only to give way to the next victim. I gonsidered myself lucky after watching a dozen or more get their dose. Those who were fools enough to kick got it all the worse, and then you were It was mney Island all Chrougts: = and had their pictures taken with the plg in the center of the group.

This is an old custom and takes place on every ship cross- ing the equator when there are land lub- bers aboard. We are now running smoothly at seven knots an hour, and !f the lowa don't break down again, we ought to reach Bahia by next Tuesday. Yesterday both ships were stopped close together and a board of in- spection from our ship visited the lowa. We then traveled on a couple of hours end ships drew together and our Officers returned with thelr report.

Those who know him well swear that the only thing he won't steal is a very, very warm stove. — Brother Coyote ia never troubled with dyspepsia. He can eat anything. Ranchmen aver that the coyote and the buzzard are mortal enemies, and that the bitterness of the latter is tinged with envy; all because the former will make a good meal off odor- ous edibles which the broad-winged carrion bird will sail contemptuously over. The coyote likes jack rabbita, and will some- times dine off prairie dogs, but he will eat any thing from a greasy, worn-out eaddie to the carcass of a steer ‘“‘ten days gone.” N the language of the cowboys [ ranchmen The coyote ts the vagabond of the four- footed animal! world.

He {ss always followed by a few rifle balis and a blue coated stream of profanity, but generally manages to escape unhurt. The coyote can run like “greased light- ning."’ He can run circies around an ordi- nary horse and not half try.

The Miseovr! Historical Society took the first steps ir calling a meeting to discuss the appropriate celebration of great event. Out of this and subsequent meet- ings, came the formation of a committee of }) whose duty it wae to take the first Gefinite steps toward starting the move- ment. This commitee of § selected 10 of {ts members to act as a committee on form and design. This small committee wae com- posed of Pierre Chouteau, Chairman: D. R. Francia, F. W. Lehmann John H. Terry, Halsey €. Ives, W. S. Eames. Wm. Hyde, (since deceased), Julfue Pitzman. Dr. Wm. Taussig and Prof. Sylvester Waterhouse. This committee of ten held a large num- ber of meetings, and then visited the Omaha Exposttion. Tt also invited several heads of departments of the Chicago World's Fair to come to St. Louls and give their views on the wisdom of a world's fair ae the form for the celebration. The com- mittee began much prejudiced against a world’s fair, but gradually it wes converted to advocacy of that form of celebration. Arriving at this conclusion it decided that the question was too momentous to be decided by so small a body. It, therefore, reported last Monday night to the com- mittee, givingeits opinion that an exposi- tion was tho best form of celebration, but recommending that the final cholce be left to a convention composed of delegates from the States and Territories included tn the Louls'ana’ purchase. This recommenda- tion was embodied in the following resolu- tlon: Resolved, There should be held a convention of delegates from the States and Ter- titorles In the Louletana purchase, In the City of St. Louis, Mo... not later than the 10th day of January, A.

Something of this spirit has lingered to the present day. If St. Louis is to march In the front rank of progress, {t must dis- play that spirit of co-operation and that devotion to the public welfare which have made other American cities great. If St. Louls ‘# once committed to an exposition, local patriotism apd the fear of failure will force our citizens to that concert of action which will insure success. The educational effect of a great fairin developing unity of effort would be nighly beneficial to thie metropolis. Latterly expositions have been financially profitable. The Omaha fair has been eminently successful. According to the press, it has not only paid all its debts, but has a surplus left. It has aleo increased the beauty and the trade of Omaha. “Recently six chiefs of departments in the Columbian Exposition visited St. Louis. While here they had a conference with the Committee of Ten. Their statements were highly interesting and instructive. They eald that many investments itn connection with the Chicago Fair hed been unprofit- able; that, when the excitement of the exposition subsided, the reaction seriously injured many firms; but that, upon the whole, the Columbian Exhibition thhad been a great benefit to Chicago; that during the whole period of the fair the deposits in the banks at Chicago averaged a million dollars a day, and that the Exposition had added not less than 200,000 to the popula- tion of Chicago. They stated that the economic value of a healthful adult is $1,000, and upfn the assumption that only one out of fivegin the 200000 had reached maturity, the vglue of the population which the Fair aided to Chicago largely exceeded the whole cost of the-ddsposition. They also asserted that the rich people of Chicago have since and in consequence of the Exposition dis- played a more unstinted liberality to char- Itable, literary and istic institutions than ever before; that the endowments of the Chicago University, the Art Institute of St. Louls and o-0—0—0-—0—_0—_0—_U-—- 0-00-00 0-0 0009-00 00-0) THE GREAT WORLD'S FAIRS OF THE CENTURY, Chicago, 1893...

The acquisition the territory known as Louisiana was since the Declaratfon of Independence. In STORY OF LOUISIANA In 1802 President Jefferson instructed James Monroe and Robert Livingston, American envoys at Paris, to buy an island and a dock yard and negotiate for the free navigation of the Missis- sippi River. For this purpose he placed at their disposal $2,000,000 to ‘smooth matters,’’ which meant to bribe the First Consul’s Ministers. Instead of following his instructions they bought a magnificent domain, the nogotiation being the largest real estate transac~- tion in the world’s history. This is, in few words, the story of the acquisition Of the Louisiana Ter- ritory by the United States. The burden of the American case was the free navigation of the Mississippl tiver, which had been secured, as was thought, by the treaty with Spain of 1795. but was imperilled by the retro- cession of Louisiana to France. The whole territory known as the Province of Loulsiana was a French possession until 1763, when it was ceded to Spain. After the establishment of American Independence, settlers flocked across the Alleghenies and filled up the valley of the Ohio. Men like Washington, Jefferson and Mon- roe gave much thought to the pros- pects of these citizens and foresaw that the welfare of the new Western States depended upon a free outlet by water to the Gulf of Mexico. To this end negotiations were begun with Spain immediately after the Rev- olutionary War, but with indifferent success, until in 1795, a treaty was concluded. By thia:treaty “His Cath- olic Majesty agrees that the navigation of the said river (Mississippi) in its whole breadth, from its source to the ocean, shall be free to his subjects and the citizens of the United States un- lees he should extend this privilege to the subjects of other powers by convention.” Another article provided that “in consequence of the stipula- tions contained in the fourth (just quoted) His Catholic Majesty will permit citizens of the United States for the space of three years from that time, to deposit their merchandise and effecte in the fort of New Orleans and to export them from thence without paying any other dutwv thana fair price for the hire of the and His Majesty promises either to continue the permission, if he finds during that time that it is not prejudicial to the interests of Snain. or if he should not agree to continue it there, he will as- sign to them.on another part of the banks of the Miesissippi an equivalent establishment.” This was eatisfactory to the people of the Western lands and a br'sk commerce sprang up. The waterways of the West were free and the products of the West found an outilet’to foreign market through the port of New Or- leans. The concession waé vital to the the new States, because the land transportation at Spe cial article stores; condi- that TERRITORY way of the Atlantic ports. But on Oct. 1, 1800, Spain ceded by the treaty of St. Ildefonso the whole territory to France, and tho next day the Span!sh Governor at New Orleans abrogated the treaty provisions re- lating to the free navigation and the right of depos“‘t. When the news of these transactions reached Washington there was great consternation. A resolution was in- troduced into the Senate which de- clared “‘that the free navigation of the river and the privilege of deposit at New Orleans was a clear and un- doubted right of the United States; that the late infraction of this right by Spain was an act of aggression hostile to the honor and interests of the United States; that the people of the West were deeply concerned in the possession of a place of deposit on the island of New Orleans; that the President should be €iuthor'zed to take possession of some ‘such fit place of deposit." The President was further authorized to recruit a military force to carry out this purpose. This meant war with both Spain and France. It wae argued that New Or- leans shogld be seized and after that nats for the navigation of the river might be undertaken. But owing to partisan differences th’s resolutions was lost. Besides, Jefferson was a man of peace and pre- ferred to negotiate first, although he foresaw certain war in case the ne- gotiation falled. In 1802 he wrote to Robert L‘vings- American. Minister to France: takes possession of New Orleans the United States become allies of Great Britain.” He sug- gestedthat if the First Consul persisted in his intention of taking the territory from Spain by the treaty of St. Ilde- fonso he might be induced to cede to the United States the island of New Orleans and the West Floridas, the being a strip of territory lying f the. M'’ssissippi, south of the and bordering on the ton, “If France east oOo Zist parallel, Gulf. Jan. 10, 1893, President Jefferson nom- inated James Monroe Plenipotent-ary to France with power to negotiate for the purchase of New Orleans and se- cure guarantees for the free naviga- tion of the river. The Senate promptly confirmed the appointment and voted $2,000,000 to promote the transaction, When Monroe landed in France ne- gotiations had algeady begun between Livingston and Talleyrand. On April 10 Livingston sent a letter to Monroe, then on his way to Paris, informing him that he had suggested the American desire for privileges of navigation and had also suggested the purchase of New Orleans. In reply, the minister of the First Consul asked what the Americans would give for the whole territory. In a subsequent dispatch he told Monroe that he did not believe the offer to sell the whole territory was made in good falitn; IN CELEBRATION OF THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE IN the most important event in this country the patriotic celebration proposed to be held all of the 17 States and Territories embraced in the Louisiana Purchase are imterested.

PURCHASE. that the Frenthman was playing a game and wanted time. On the 2th Monroe arrived in Paris. Livingston was despondent; he told Monroe that the only way out was war; that the American Government should take forc!ble possession of New Orleans and negotiate afterwards. He had told Talleyrand on the Ilth that the United States wanted only New Orleans; and he refused to believe that Bonapart was sincere in his larger offer. Meanwhile war had broken out be- tween England and France and the First Consul found himself in need of money. On the night of April 10, 1803, he sat in counc!] with Talleyrand, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Mar.- bois. Minister of Finance. discussing the situation. At daybreak of the llth the council broke up. Napoleon rose, and with terse rhetoric ordered his ministers to sell the entire territory to the Americans for 50,000,000 france if they could get no more. and to press the negotiations to a speedy conclu- sion. Napoleon’s necessity and Monroe's enthusiasm soon overcame Living- ston’s doubts and the treaty was drawn up and signed. Jefferson was surprised at the turn of affairs when the treaty reached him but ft was in harmony with his dreams of American destiny, He had sent Monroe to Paris ona comparatively unimportant mission and his Minister returned with an empire in his pocket. Throughout the entire discussion of this transaction from the time the treaty of St. Ildefonso became known to the end, there is no hint of reflec- ton or desire @n the part of any American statesman to obtain the ter- ritory of Louisiana. Public thought was occupied wholly with the naviga- tion privileges and the rights of de- posit. And to show how littie Ameri- cans, even of broavest views, under- stood the tmportance of the ‘‘deal,” a citation from one of Livingston's letters will suffice. He wrote to Mon- roe that the outlay ($15,000,000) might be reimbursed by the sale of the terri- tory west of the Mississippi with the right of sovereignty to some power in Europe whose vicinity we should not fear. The object sought was New Orleans and free navigation of the river. The object gained was an enormous em- pire, : The centennial of the celebration would not be consistent historically if this fact were hot made most promi- nent. The Louisiana territory would not have’ been purchased had it not been for the commercial necessity of the Mississippi River to the people of the West. The negotiations was be- gun with only this in view. That more Was done Was due to a crisis which had no relation to the object of Mon- roe’s mission. for stockholders, ajthough State fairs eo J almost uniformly been money making. Te | Chicago World's Fair was the first to break this record, In spite of the fact that it was the most costly show ever held in the world, The total receipts from all sources were $28,151,168.75, nd the net profit was $1,862, 485.08. The Abel Atlanta and Omaha Expositions were also profit makers, and it is believed 7 a world’s fair may be held in St. Lois that will eclipse in interest the Chicago fair of 1893 and that Will earn a larger profit.

Few people were aware of the fact that this charming young woman was descendant of the Mexican General whose name is inseparably connected with the fall of the Alamo.

The famous prisoners of Mier adored her, and the few who returned to Texas never tired of talking of her beauty and tenderness. Shs came to the prison to see them frequently, and on her death- bed she secured from her cruel husband a promise that he would release the sor- rowing prisoners of Mier. One of these, who saw Senorita Gratia, says that she has inherited much of the wonderful love- liness of her grandmother. There is cer- tainly nothing In her face that resembles the sullen countenance of her grandfather. Senorita Marie was born on the Isle of St. Thomas, where Santa Anna had a large Plantation, which he bequeathed to his gon. She was educated in Paris and has recently traveled extensively in Hurope. She is an orphan and ts traveling in com- pany with her guardian, Senor Juan An- Kulnola, a lawyer, of Porto Rico. Her bus- iness in Mexico was to look after the fine old hacienda where Santa Anna died. it is very valuable and only recently a de- cision of the Supreme Court was obtained which maintains her rights a6 the only helr of the General and enables her to take possession of the property. The object of her visit to San Antonio would certainly, rel ect ua \ S\ ‘ by most pérsons, be regarded as very cred- ftable. Of this matter she had nothing to Say, but her lawyer made no secret of it. About the time that Santa Anna Itnvaded Texas there was a young girl in San. An- tonio of such extraordinary beauty that her fame had reached the City of Mexico. Santa Anna had no sooner pitched his tent within sight of the Alamo than he began to make inquiries about this fa- mous beauty. Some villain, eager to win the favor of the commander of the army, soon found the young girl and brought her trembling into the presence of the wretch. It {s a matter of history and there its at least one old woman living who is familiar with all the revolting circumstances of the affair—Mme. Candellar!. Santa Anna af- fected to be almost struck speechless by tbe dazzling beauty of the voung Mexican girl and he tnstantly offered to make her his wife. Astounded at euch a proposition and almost frightened out of her wits the girl was unable to do more than mutter a few unintelligible sentences. The lower class of Mexicans at that time regarded Santa Anna as littie less than a god and all of them were eager to obey his slightest request. General Cos, Santa An- na’e brother-in-law, who at the very mo- ment was acting In open violation of an oath that had gained his life, was one of the most criminal participants in this ain- ful affair tle told the girl that Santa Anna had seen her picture and that he had | long before declared that if ever he found Bio 4 ‘ Ape mY ' iY " unguer j inde ° the origina! he would make her Queen of | ounger of the Kindergarten work in Mexico.

Louls as the city for the Fqir because we did not think it wise policy to make such a recommendation. It would never do for St. Louis to call a convention of Stateg to decide a question which It has already settled. The other States would he more than likely to let St. Louls run things by Iftself if ft followed any such policy. Our idea was to bring the delewates here and then tf St. Louis has not push and energy sufficient to win them over to us. St. Louts ts not the place for the celebration. No, we decided that the best policy was to leave the question ef place entirely open, feeling sure that the delegates would recognize the superior claims of St. Louis over all other cities. “The St. Louis! committee could not call the convention. That would be manifestly improper. Then who should call it? The Governor, of course. He ts the highest of- ficer In the State, and the proper person to act N such a matter. By the terms of our resolution the Governor ie to act In con- junction and with the assistance of the Ex- ecutive Committee. If St. Louis cannot counteract any influence against 8t. Louis, St. Louis does not deserve to have the cele- bration.’’ BY PIERRE CHOUTEAU. HIE idea of the committee was that - St. Louis should take no advantage. Everybody should be given a fair show. If some other city should get it we would take off our coats and go in and help make it a success, although, of course, we could not be expected to give as much money. For St. Louis to seek an advantage at the outset would cause the people of the rest of the territory embraced in the Loulsiana purchase to lose interest. They would say it was a packed affair in which they had no proprietary interest. This is to be a fair for 17 States and Territories. “We can go into the convention without fear. St. Louis has the best claims to it. Historically i[{t is the second city In the purchase. On historical grounds New Or- leans is unquestionably entitled to it, but New Orleans will not want it. I am con- fident Loulsiana will send a solid delegation for St. Louis. “St. Louis apart from historical considera- tions, ts the best place for holding fair because of its transportation facilities and its ability to handle large crowds, St. Louis has shown that, It is a convention cita.”* BY JOHN H. TERRY. é¢ E have received repeated aseur- W surances from Governor Steph- ens that he Sa with us, hund and heart and we feel contident that he wiil treat St. Louis justly in his ap- pointments. Although as yet qover- nor Stephens has not pox.tively an- nounced his choice of St. Louis as being the most suitable place for ho'ding the celebration, we have every reason to be- lieve that he will give our city tne prefer- ence and eelect those men as delegates who will pledge themselves in favor of the Mound Clty. ‘Thus we willl be assured, at least, of the support of the entire Missouri delegation— 19 strong—and though there have been several cla'ms put forth by other localities it is my honest belief that the sentiment of the people concerned ts largely in favor of St. Louis. And this Is as it should be, for. clearly and indubitably, our city can present more good reasons to show the justice of holding the centennial celebra- tion here than can any other situation. Many of the reasons are obvious, but among the others I would draw especial attention to the following: ‘First, it is the largest city now fncluded in the original purchase and therefore bet- ter able to meet the demands imposed by a world’s celebration. “Second. The mere fact that nut only were the purchase negotiations carried on here, but the plans were consummated and the ceselon treaty signed in St. Louis, should be sufficient to cause this city to be the convention's choice. “Third, and one of the moet cogent rea- sons, is that owing to her larger Congres- sional representation, Missourt «ould get a larger appropriation than could anether a ee eee ee ee a large appropriation from i the Thie is erpecialis important, tn that rathone State.

HE committee was agreed that the first thing m@ceesary was to get all the States and Territories in the purchase to want a celebration. The pur- pose of the convention is to ascertain if the celebration is wanted. The committee of fifty has not even gone so far as to de- clare what form it thinks the celebration should take. The committee of ten recom- mended a world's fair. The report Was re- ceived but not adopted. It was felt that it was not within the province of the come- mittee to say at this time what !t cone siders would be the best manner of cele- brating.

GREAT RENUCTION IN DEATH RATE PREDICTED, Nothing has ever occurred in the his- tory of medicine which has brought so much joy to the medical profession as the announcement that the new cure for diseases of the respiratory organs would be placed on the market in such a manner as to enable the poorest suffering to re- ceive the benefits which are to be derived from this wonderful treatment. Ever since the discovery of this new germicide, and especially since they have found it a positive cure for Catarrh, Bronchitis and Consumption, physicians have used every effort to persuade the manufacturers of Hyomei to bring their remedy within the reach of all, but having given away over two million sample bottles of Hyo- mei free, treated over seven hundred thousand sufferers with less than one hundred failures and returned the money to all those wh» had not peen cured. the R. T. Booth company elt that they had done enough to prove to any sensible person the true value of their new discov- ery, and refused to make any further con- cessions. Strong pressure was brought to bear upon them by the medical profes- sion without results, until the proofs were furnished that the methods of introduc- tion employed by them had been used tor years by quacks to inveigle sufferers to their offices, where they frightened them into purchasing their treatment or medicine—in fact, so often have people heen deceived it is now almost impossi- ble to persuade them to invest one dollar until! they know that the remedy will benefit them. To be sure, over seven hun- dred thousand did purchase Hyomei in 1898, yet as the physicians expressed it, this number was but a drop in the bucket when compared with the vast army of | Organs | people who are suffering from these dis- eases. You must remember. said one, that there has never been a cure for these scourges before, and the use of danger- ous sprays, douches antl atomizers has only augmented the number of suffer- fers, until to-day over two hundred thou- ‘sand men and women die annually from these. diseases .in this country alone. Something out of the ordinary must be done to reach the people. They have lost courage through their bitter experience with advertising specialists. They, will not trust free treatments, for it means to them another scheme to get their money. You must adopt some other! method. The R. T. Booth Co. have fol- lowed their advice, and to-day sufferers from Catarrh, Bronchitis, Consumption, Asthma or any diseases of the respiratory: can obtain A COMPLET TRIAL OUTFIT, comprising an alumi-| num inhaler, dropper, gauze and su‘ficient Hyomei to last two weeks for 25c. Of course, it is. cheaper to ‘buy the $1.00 size, as it contains six times the quantity, but the smaller ones will undoubtedly in- duce thousands to test the new cure, and accomplish the object for which the medi- cal profession are striving—the universal use of Hyomei by the public. When this has been done there will be no further reason for fearing these diseases. HYOMEI CURES BY INHALATION Your money is returned if it fails to cure. Sold by all druggists, or sent by mail.

Confederate Veteran Would Have Sat- urday for Thanksgiving Day. « The Confederate Veteran contains an ap- peal for the changing of Thanksgiving Day from Thursday to Saturday, whith will doubtless attract much attention, It says: The Veteran suggests a change of day in the week for national thanksgiving from Thursday to Saturday, and hopes it er | be accomplished. Many of the other holidays could not be changed—the Fourth of July must remain as it is, as must Washington's Birthday and Christmeas—but Thaksgiving Day, set apart by the President, ought to} ‘shed their Temples of Its nature sug- | pressed their tablets. He gave common peo- be changed to Saturday. gests that the family board be occupied as fully as practicable; that members especial- ly endeavor to assemble and revive remi- niscences of other happy days. Besides, it ought to be arranged in the most economical way possible. and, if scat. tered families could unite for Saturday and Sunday jointly, {t would be much better. Mammoth businesa enterprises could be stopped for the two days together much more practically. Many drummers would be diligent to spend the two days with their families, while, as it is, they can’t travel far to spend Thursday, and then re- sume their labors for the other two days of the week. If Saturday were the day the world’s workers would hasten to get things in order Friday evening, and Thanksgiving Day would be ushered in with increased zest, because it would prom- ise all that its adoption implles, and the blending of it with Sunday would make both the more sacred. comed by servants with all the greater hap- piness, for then they could have Sunday off sure, as the cold turkey and multitude of other good things of like kind would be considered along with depleted appetites. There are many g00d reasons for the change. If you concur tin the guggestion, write to your member of Congress or di- rect to the President. If this suggestion be taken up, it will be a blessing to the many | millions of people who observe the day, THINGS GOOD TO ENOW.

SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—DECEMBER 4, 1898, THOMAS CORWIN ILIFF of avho has been a DV. Balt Lake City, resident of Utah twenty-five years, and superintendent of Methodist Episcopal Missio in the Territory and Btate for more than twenty years, was in St. Louls last] week as the guest of Rev. William Wigt King at #41 -Lindell boulevard. ok Dr. Iliff is almast 70 years of age. Of great physical an mental vigor, he is recognized as one jof the best of authori- and religious conditions just returned from a North and Fast, and been besieged for ‘his ted prevalence of plural in deflance of the law and the agreement] under which the terri- tory was admitted] to Statehood, and the sentiment of the paople in Utah concerning the election of rigcham H. Roberts, a polygamist, to Comgress. Before his departure for Utah Mr. Iliff gald: “In order to giv Dispatch an oppo thoroughly the pol in Utah, an under: full appreciation o nificance of Con election to the Ge the State, I will religious history of ter of a century tn ‘ worked there. "The great evangelical churches were just beginning their work in Utah 2% years ago. Bishop Tuttle) your resident Bishop, was one of the early workers who lald there the foundation for a better society and a better home. “The fight upon Mormonism in Utah has been carried on by six evangelical churches —the Methodist Episcopal, the Protestant Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist, Congre- gational and Christian. These churches went to Utah with four purposes in mind, First, to lay the foundations of a pure evan- gelism; eecond, for a pure home, a home in which there should be but one wife and one queen, and she living In the whole and full love of her husband; third, to lay the foundations of the American idea of the public school; fourth, to emphasize the !m- for tiles upon political in Utah. He has trip through the everywhere he hats opinion of the repo marriage in Utah readers of the Post- tunity te understand tical-religious situation tanding necessary to a the discouraging sig- essman-elect Roberts’ tile church-workers of view the political and tah through the quar- rhich I have lived and portance of obedience and loyalty to the laws of the nation. “The churches have been true to these principles from the time they entered Utah, and they naturally had much to do with laying the foundation of the State. Their influence has favorably affected the true Christian sentiment of all classes of the people, Mormon and non-Mormon alike, and it” tas*?ided in sécuring better educational advantages in the State. Their influence upon the one special need in Utah —that of the home relation—hae been ef- fective in two ways. First, by setting be- fore the people of Utah a proper example of the true home. Second, by calling the attention of the country at large to the necessity of legislation to correct the evils of plural marriage. This was a long, up- hill fight, but the evangelical churches had fone into Utah to win. They had the right upon their side. They had the people of every other community in the United States behind them, and they were sup- plied with much money with which to maintain the fizht. “The first fruit of victory ripened when Congress passed the Edmunds law more than twenty years after the churches undertook the fight. When we went to Utah Mormonism was preached in all the churches and practiced in every part of the territory. It was looked upon with prefer- ment and honor, polygamists generally holding the highest offices in the Mormon Church. And yet there has never been, to my Knowledge, a time when there was not great opposition to polygamy among the Mormons, even though they believed in the revelation. “The rigid enforcement of the Edmunds law during the incumbency of Chief Justice Zane and Gov. Eli H. Murray and those associated with them, together with the influence of the Christian churches in and out of the territory, and the incessant war waged upon polygamy. by the Salt Lake Tribune, forced the first presidency of the Mormon church to issue in 1899 a mani- festo suspending polygamy. This edict was hailed with gladness by Christian people everywhere. We believed it the beginning of the end of many things we had hoped to see abolished in Mormonism, and for which we had gone to Utah and struggled through all those years, “It was then that Statehood began to BRIGHAM H.

F Congressman-elect Roberts is seated the fanatic polygam- ists will feel encouraged and scruple at nothing. If he be kept out of Congress the polygamistic Mormons will be furious and demand their “rights,” claiming that the law touching plural marriages was not retro- active, and the Constitution guar- antees freedom of worship, and hence Mormonism cannot be made a bar to representation in the na- tional legislature. It would be difficult to prove it, yet I believe that polygamy has not been abandoned and that the Mormon Church is more active, more potential than ever, unfor- tunately. I revere the memory of my father, but the present tendencies of the Latter Day Saints, I know, would not meet with his approval. I believe the men who are manip- ulating events in Utah are making serious mistakes. The result of all this imminent outcry and sub- sequent agitation is bound to be untoward for Mormonism.

While it is true that many of us had our misgivings as to the sincerity of some of the promises of many of the leaders of the Mormon church, it seemed only right that they should be given an opportunity to prove the sin- cerity of the promises they had made. Evidently this was the view taken by the press of the country generally and the members of Congress. a ‘The seating of Caeirees: man-elect Roberts would mean the undoing of all the work accomplished by six great evangelical churches in 25 years.

Great interest in the public schools wae manifested from one end of the State to the other. Good buildings and equipments and competent teachers were sought.

There had not been, up to that time, any Indicaton that the Mor- mons would attempt a return to mormon- ism, but in a little while after this second election it began to be widespread that many of those who had polygamous rela- tloas, but had profescedly. under the man- ifesto of the president of the church, given hem up, were returning to their p!ural wives. The Gentiles, having accepted in good faith the assurance of the leaders of the Mormon church that polygamy had been set aside, were siow to believe this, but as polygamy became more and more open they were compelled to accept It.

He stands for all that is orthodox in Utah. His first political work was done seven years ago, when, with many others of his kind, he was drawn into the whirl of a fight in the church itself. In 1896 he was the Democratic candidate for Congress, and in that cam- paign he stood against several of the powerful priests of the church. Ata later time, however, he repented, and was once more taken back into the bosom of the church. Being a Mormon of the Mormons, is a firm believer in polygamy, and has written many high-sounding words in praise of that peculiar system.

A decadent in his writings, the new Prince was in his private life notably well balanced and far- seeing. A long career as professor had given him a certain experience in ruling; and the little court in the rue Amster- dam, with its dignity and loftiness of sen- timent, was such as to silence all mocking comment. Even those who could not in all conscience take the oath of allegiance to its sovereign were giad to have access to, and writers of every school felt a sense of loss when the news spread abroad that the Prince was dead. Then came the question: Who was to succeed him? Many thought that the poets would better fol- low the march of progress and declare a republic, but the Temps opened a ballot, the result of which was that M. Leon Dierx was elected by a majority of 16 volces. All of this sounds like a huge joke, tut it is not. The Temps is, next to the Jour- nal dee Debats, the most serious evening paper in Paris* the men who voted were each writers as Catulle Mendes, Armarde Fylvestre, De Heredia and Rod-*.hach,; while M.

Dierx pronounced a eulogy on Mallkarme, and M. Rodenbach read an address to M. Dierx. Several young actors and actresses then recited different selections from the works of vari- ous decadent writers, and the afternoon closed with a general ovation—the only thing that distinguished it from the reg- ular series of Saturday matinete which have for two seasons past formed one of the features of literary Paris. It is a curious fact that just now, when France seems to be In a state of complete disintegration, there should be a strong reaction in favor of the poet. The plays which have had the greatest success re- cently have been those in verse—"‘Le Chem- ineau,” by Richepen; “Cyrano,” by Ros- tand, and at the Franca:s and at the Renaissance the new plays of the winter are also both the works of well-known poets. It would seem as if the people, sick- ened and discouraged by the reality, were seeking consolation In the ideal; and the manager and lecturer, always eager to turn each phase of national feeling to their prof- it haye responded to the demand by organ- izing a number of entertainments devoted exclusively to poetry.

The Odeon, in her turn, started a series of poetical matinees, at which the poets were invited to come and recite their own works. Here the interest was a double one; the public could not only learn to know poems which they might never have thought of reading at home, they could also see and hear the author. Such an appeal to curi- osity was bound to succeed, and soon the Theater Antoine followed M.

The Crown Prince was treated as no Prince of the blood has been treated before—so that to kill the girl and then kill himself wag the only thing left to be done. At Mayerling nine nuns of the severe Carmelite order, who never slept more than two hours at a time on a bare board, still pray night and day for the repose of the unhappy Crown Prince's soul. The elder Baroness Vetsera, anxious to save herdaughter’s name, wrote a book in which she showed that she had done a mother’s duty by Marie, and put all the blame on Crown Prince Rudolph and Countess Larisch. The Emperor gave her . 1,000,000 fforins for suppressing that book, but {t was circulated privately, and all fingers pointed to Countess Larisch, whose black ingratitude to- ward the Empress, her benefactress, was considerec a thing beyond pbe- lief. Then Countess Larisch also wrote a book, In which she gave all the details, and the Emperor resorted to the same means with her. The court palmer was entrusted With the delicate mission of buying the copyright from an editor who had it al- ready in his possession, paying a round sum down to Countess Larisch, who also obtained an annuity to continue as long as her eilence lasts. Nothing more was heard of her until a year ago, when she left her husband and five children to go and live with a Munich opera tenor, Otto Brucks. It must be supposed that the singer’s in- come, added to the annuity from the book she never published, are insufficient for her wants, and that she is trying for an addition to her income, either by a large sale of the book or by a second suppres- sion of it, for which she would no doubt ask a high price of the Regent of Bava- ria, especially as the mad King, about whom ehe writes, still has a live brother— mad King Otto, who sits on the throne of Bavaria. She cannot expect any pecu- niary help from her father, who only ~~ re —— waited for his first wife’s death to marry another actress, Antoine Barth, who ig his present morganatic wife. She costs him rather more than he can afford. He was 67 years old last birthday. Countess Larisch’s book, “A King’s Fairy Tale,” has already been prohibited for sale in Bavaria, where the poignant feelings ex- cited by the tragic life and death of the'r beloved King Ludwig have scarcely yet been wholly appeased. “A King’s Fairy Tale’’ which she is telling is poetic history of King Louis II. of Bavaria, the key to his mysterious solitary life and the true account of his tragic death. The book will be read with breathless inmterest, as it is known that the author, Countess Larisch, has learned much from her father about King Louis,, and also from her aunt Princess Sophia, who was the King’s be- trothed for several months, The King of this tale does not seem a real man, but a youth from Swanland, who wished to live for a time on earth. The first character reveals the young King in hia private observatory absorbed in as- tronomy. When this professor in astronomy retires the King goes to sleep and dreams a dream, He understands the language of the stars and hears the music of the spheres. He sees three brilliant castles on the shore of an emerald lake, over which eail singing swans.

Very often kings have a pitiable fate; they are not unhappy only because they are hu- man, but devils in friends’ disgulse often accompany them through life. The swan king refuees to be warned; the angel has to consent to his earthly journey, but he com- forts him by promising that a noble human maiden will reveal herself to him with a song. “A limit is fixed for your life,” says the angel, “if you Hve it to the end; but if you leave the earth of your own free will, if you feel your powers falling, then you 4 a will return here and be a swan again.” In the second chapter the reader Is in the ful] relgn of King Louis II., the scene ebing the Lake of Starnsberg, not far from Munich.

Wally von Sartory is no definite character, but a type of of the numerous young singers and actresses and artists who tried to gain the King’s love In those days. In the third chapter the King himself Is shown to the reader in the idyllic soliiude of his castle on the of Starnberg Lake. The castie is Schloss Berg, the scene of the catastrophe in which the King ultimately lost his life, and it is described accurately and minuteiy, together with the shore gong, and he knows a woman will sing it to him some day. The King tells the master a secret, that he never cared for a woman, saw no poetry in any other woman than his mother, and Wagner admits that poetical women are very rare. Wagner, however, returns the King’s confidence, and says he has found such a woman—the wife of a friend. No doubt this Is Cosima Bulow, whom Wagner later married. In the evening of that self- eame day the King walked along the jes- samine paths to the lake, listening to the nightingales in hopes of hearing his song He rowed across the lake to the opposite shore and believed he heard the singing of f 9 rp F pA? : 12 sq, Mahe ee soy Mt wah itd ‘ “a is ,.

Countess Larisch describes the handsome young King with a certain amount of en- thusiasm—‘‘tall and straight, like a noble pine, with indescribably beautiful dark- blue fairy eyes, with curly brown hair framing an open brow, and a sad, sweet expression on a classical cut mouth.”’ The author shows the King deeply inter- ested in a conversation with Richard Wag- ner, whose name in the story is. Reinhard Meister. The King is speaking with Wag- ner on the tradition of the Knight of the Swan, which the composer and poet used in his opera “‘Lohengrin.” The King con- fezsses that he is on the lookout for a song —his own song,- he calls it—which an angel gang to him ina dream. He must have the the swans. It was a mistake. As he @p proached the shore he heard a melodious human voice. He could distinguish the words—it was the song of the wondrous flower—his song, which said the wondrous flower ig the purest love, “This is my song!” the King cried, jumped out of the boat, ran across the lawn to the castle, where a delicate womans figure appeared at an open window. The moon was shining, and she recognized the man below and cried: “The King.” f He confirmed this and asked her to come down. The young lady immediately obeyed and appeared in the frame of a porch in the ivy-grown tower.

Labori's rise in his profession was rapid, and it was his spirited con- duct of the case for he client in the Zola trial which gave him his place i nthe front rank of advocates, No lees than five systems of law are in use in Germany According to the Electrical Engineer there are 245 damage sulte against the trolley roads of Rrooklyn pending on ahe Brooklyn Supreme Court calendar, representing claims aggregating over $2.000.0©.

According to {mmemorial trad!- tion, the government of the czar only allows the publication of news which is in every respect agreeable to ite views and opinions. In certain special cases of great importance, when ft Is thought necessary either to excite or to calm public opinion, }he Russian government ts a trifle more lenient. “Thus, for instance, in 18i2, during the wars ageinst Napoleon IL, two newspapers guddenly made their appearance, which at once became the recognized organs of the Russian chauvinist party; the Russian Invalid, organ of the ministry of war, and the Syn Otetchesva. The first Ruseian newspaper dates from the relan of the Czar Alexis (1645-1676). It was known urder the name of Current News#@, and was only destined for the immediate entourage of the Empercr. The reai founder of the Russian press was Peter the who first started the St. Petereburg Gazeite, the official organ of the Academmy of Sciences, a complete collection of which exists einee 1714. After the firat impetus a number of other periodicals were started «eue- cessively. Among these the best known were the Monthly Writings, in 1735, the Aurora, in 1778, and the Moscow Journal In 1791. These publi- cations were, however, almost entirely literary in thelr character, and never ventured upon the dangerous ground of politics, unless by order of the government.

Every newspaper, every pamphlet, every Rus- sian or foreign book, whether ancient or modern, was first subjected to the censorship. There was even an “upper committee of censors, epecially charged with the supervision of the corps ot censors. Later on during the latter art of Czar Nicholas 1.’s reign, special! censorships were ¢s- tablished. Not only were there ecclesiastical cen- sors. but every government department was in- vested with the power of controlling newspaper or other printed articles published which in any way dealt with the department In question. The many difficulties which Russian authors met in publishing their works resulted in the novel plan of collective publication tn periodical known ag “almanacks.” It was in these almar - acks that first appeared the works of the gte t national historian, Karam/jine, Pouchkine, le‘ montof.

OSE COURTNEY BARNBS, one of the stage beauties of 15 years ago, ‘s another victim of the pace that kills. The news of her commitment to a Connecticut asylum recalls her youth and beauty in the days when the inimitable Col. Sellers made her his wife. “Little Courtney Barnes,” as she was called by her intimates, was but a slip of a girl—such a tiny girl, too—when she appeared in a minor part in one of John T. Raymond's plays. A miniature edition of piquant, dark-eyed beauty in womanhood, at once scored a success, and the prlic, always quick to from the night of acknowledged her she welcome a new favorite, her rst appearance | clam to grace and loveliness with enthus- iasm.

Many girls who are stout try to reduce their weight by walking. The first day out they return home tired and disgusted. Why? Because they have overdone it. They have started their work on the idea that if a little exercise will reduce the weight @ largo amount will reduce ft more. Of course, that is not the way to begin. You should begin by degrees and gradually work up. Girls who do exercise, as a rule, try to take too violent exercise. For instance, those who go on century runs. That kind of exercise is very harmful and should not be attompted by any woman, no mat- ter how strong and well she may be, for such exercise often brings on cardiac paralysis and other affections of the heart. There aré many women who are not satisfied with exercises that suit thelr sex, but who want to try exercises intended exclusively for men, euch as football. However the fvo*"ball craze among girls’ colleges did not last long, for it marred and disfigured the skin and features too much. But they could not do without some sport of the kind so basket ball came into vogue and is etill played. If a girl wishes to be beaut!ful there are two things that are necessary—rest and proper exer- cise; rest in the form of sleep. I cannot mention t00 strong! the value of sleep. One should have at least ecignt hours of sleep every You will mote that a girl who goes out every night and dees not return until the early morning hours B00N looks pale and languid. Hence she loses her g00d color and dark gather under her eyes, making her look like a ghost than the pretty girl she was at the beg'nning of the ecakon. Among the different kinda holds a prominent place, although img a8 at exercise necessarily the best at ai! seasons of the Short, brisk walks in the snorning before breakfast are good the whole year round, In summer, ewimming is, in Iny opinion, the best exercise, if taken at the proper time and of proper duration. I am afraid the giria at large watering places indulge too frequently in the bath. One bath a day between the morning end noon meal is more beneficial than at a@ny other time during the day. It stimulates the nervous @ystein, which is the main part of the physical economy and promotes free di: wphoresis, aiso aiding the digestion. On the other hand, tf taken too freely it weakens the system by pro- Gcucing anaemia or thinness of the blood. Hence too frequent bathing should be avolded. Next to swimming, tennis is the best exercise, because it brings into play every muscle in the body, Of course, tennis should not be played too long. Like any other exercise, it will make one very tired and not more than one set of singles or two sets of doubles should be played in suc- oession. Girls should be very careful about that one point if they are exercising for beauty's sake, as ewimming and tennis are very deceiving. You may be very tired and not know it until you stop. Bpinal irritation often follows violent ex- ercise, and when once acqu!red your beauty may be said to have disappeared. In the fall horses back riding should be indulged in. Exercise giu@en fn this manner is very fine, as almost.every muscle is exercised by the different gaits, and it fa such exercise as is acquired by maseage. This, with an early morning walk of from three to five blocks makes an excellent exercise for the fall.

As a matter of fact there is but one kind of dandruff that is to be feared, the thick, scaly, yellow kind. That scurf shows growing disease of the scalp; it often comes after fevers, and no woman can be clean or healthy whose head shows it. Fine, white dan- druff is a good indication rather than not, and a etiff, hard brush does not take it out. “Occasionally lemon juice is nice, but the well- beaten egg is better, and after rubbing with the hands, rinsing in clear, cold water and drying in the sun the halr is ready for the application of some reliable tonic used merely to soften end set the secretions in the roots to flowing. “Every night and morning the hair should be let down and the possessor should, with her 10 flagers, gently massege every part of the scalp. This gets up a good circulation and raises all the dandruff that will naturally rise. If she will then gently shake the hair that lies close to the head the dandruff can be easily induced to fall.

The spangled gowns worn by the ladies mentioned by name were made in Paris at an average cost of $00 each. The spangled gowns of the half hundred not men- tioned. by name were made in New York at Paris prices. Next to spangies came veivet, which lf even more costly. Mrs. Elbridge T.

(Continued from First Page.) from a tiny gold and jewelled saddle. For these little pleasures in the resetting of jewelry it is safe to estimate an average expense of $3 for each of the three hundred women, or $15,000 for al). Of course the Six Hundred had flowers, principally violets. Not so many as in former years, but violets at one cent each just the same. Some of the buds and grand dames wore bunches of violets as big as small cannon balls, 2,000 violets to the bunch, price $20. Some wore chrysanthemums at $1 each, others wore orchids at $3 each. Mrs. Clarence Mackay wore a bunch of mauve orchids for which a fashionable flor- ist charged $50 for the bunch. A careful survey of the - An HOW THE FOUR HUNDRED WALK—A CHARACTER STUDY ON FIFTH AVENUE, o@ os EL tre, ye Pettis esegin <r a flower-bedecked waists at the Horse Show resulted in assuming that each of the 300 women spent $20 a day for Mowers, and that they spent $36,000 altogether for the little bunches of angel-painted loveliness. The new coats and wraps worn by the 30 women will be worn throughout the season, but the fact that they were made to figure first and chiefly at the Horse Show makes them legitimate items in the ex- pense account. As mere items they amount to $90,000. for which mogt of those 300 women had not a new wrap or coat or mantle of some sort? The average cost for these was about $900, though Mrs. O. H. FP Belmont and Mrs. Ogden Mills wore regal manties o! sable, each of which cost at least twenty times the average price. Even for Horse Show veils, Horse Show shoes ana Horse Show gloves the thrée hundred millionaire women in the boxes ran up a Dill of $23,400. item, 900 veils at $3 each, $2,700 for all; item, two pairs of gloves each day, or twelve pairs during the week, or 3,600 pairs of gloves in all at $2 a pair, total $7,200; item, three pairs of tiny shoes costing $15 each for each particular pair of tiny feet, or a total shoe bili of $13,500. | Thus of the $1,200,200 spent by the Six Hundred at the Horse Show the women spent fully $800,000. On the list of costs for the men the largest amount is $180,000 for new clothes. Bach of the grand signors had three new suits for morning wear, costing 410 each; ohe new frock coat, costing $100; one new even- ing suit, costing $100, and one new overcoat at $10. The 300 men, therefore, spent an average of $600 each for Horse Show clothes. It must be remembered that the tailors who make such clothes take no order for less than $100. Col. John Jacob Astor, who ieft his wife’s bedside only once to come to the Horse Show, wore a brand new paddock coat of the very latest cut. His single appearance at the Garden was on Friday morning, when he stopped in just long enough to see his two-year-old hackney, take the blue ribbon. For odds and ends, meaning gloves, shoes, hats, ¢ra- vats, coat checks, programmes and servants’ tees these 300 male members of our native aristocracy spent $26,000. ; For carrtages they spent $27,000, an average of $16 4 day each. This does not include the dally expense of their own private turnouts. The money was spent in hiring carriages at times when their own horses were not available or when they preferred, as people who own valuable horses and expensive harness do, to em- ploy carriages outside of their own stables. For luncheons costing $10 for two people each day and for dinners and suppers at the same rates the men spent $4,000. For wine, assuming that each of the Six Hundred drank one quart of champagne at # and one quart of red wine at % each day, the bill was $2x.800. And this figure is by no means large when we reflect that members of the Six Hundred, having opened a bottle, often take only a sip or two and leave the rest. As each of the Six Hundred had at least one guest at luncheon, another at dinner and a4 third at supper, each spent about $15 a day in enter taining, or $4,000 during the week. For the boxes occupied by our native aristocracy 48 seen in the Garden $16,000 was spent-the highest being $410, paid by D. A. Loring for box No. &, the lowest being $150, pald by W. M. V. Hoffman box No. 74 Finally, when 8% a day $15.000 for all for the entire week, ts allowed for dental expenses the grand tota! of $1,200,200 is Such an amount spent in vanities ina by almost any other 6 people tn New have plunged the spenders into the hell Not so the 60 who sat In the bo the $1,200,000 Show.

But take ‘em in general, Kids are as much alike as sardines of the same age would be. Anyhow, I knew a case where a fool of a young nurse mixed up two children at a hotel, and to this day neither of those women is sure that she's got her own.”’ “Do you mean,’ I sald, means of distinguishing?” “There wasn't a flea-bite to go by,’’ answered Henry. “They had the same bumps, the same pimples, the same scratches; they were the same age to within three days; they weighed the same to an ounce, and they measured the same to an inch. One father was tall and fair, and the other was short and dark. The tall, fair man had a @ark, short wife, and the short, dark man had married a tall, fair woman. For a week they changed those kids to and fro a dozen times a day, and cried and quarrelled over them. Each woman felt sure she was the mother of the one that was crowing at the moment, and when it yelled she was positive it was no child of hers. They thought they would tPfust to the instinet of the chil- dren. Neither child, s» long as it wasn’t hungry, ap- peared to care a hang for anybody, and when it was hungry it always wanted the mother that the other id had got. They decided in the end to leave it to ime. li's three years ago now, and possibly enough some likeness to the parents will develop that will Settle the question. All I say is, up to three months old you can’t tell ‘em, I don't care who says you can.” He paused and appeared to be absorbed tn con- fempiation of the distant Matterhorn, then clad in its rosy robe of evening. “But the rummiest wo I ever recollect in connection with a baby,."’ continued Henry after a while, his gaze still fixed upon the distant snow-crowned peaks, “happened to me at Warwick in the jubilee year. I'll never forget that.’’ “Is it a proper story?’ I added, to hear?’ On consideration Henry saw no harm in it and told it to me accordingly. He came by the ‘bus that meets the four-fifty-two. He'd a handbag and a sort of a hamper: it looked to me like a linen barket. He wouldn't let touch the hamper, but carried it up into his bedroom himeelf. He carried it in front of him by the handles, and grazed his knuckies at every second step. He slipped going round the bend of the staira- and knocked his head @ rattling good thump against the balustrade; but he never let go that hamper, only Swore and plunged on.

He flopped the hamper on the bed with a righ of relief, took off his hat, wiped his head with his handkerchief, and then turned to anawer me. “Are you a married man?" says he.

Well, I says to myself, I hope you’re a harmless specimen. Then an idea etruck me, and I stopped witih the kmot in my fingers. “It ain't a corpse,"’ I says, “is it?’ He turned as white as the sheet on the bed, and clutched the mantelpiece. “Good God! don't suggest such a thing,”’ he says; “I never thought of that. Open it quickly.”’ “I'd rather you came and opened it yourself, sir,’’ I says. I was beginning not to half like the business. “I can’t,”” he says, “after that suggestion of yours— you've put me all in a tremble. Open it quick, man, tell me it’s all right.’ Well, my own curiosity helped me. I cut the corm, threw open the lid, and looked in. He kept his eyes turned away, as # he were frightened to look for himself. “Ie it all right?’ he says; “‘is it alive?’ “It's about as alive,’’ I says, “‘as anybody'l ever want it to be, I should say.”’ “Is it breathing all right?” he says “If you can't hear it breathing,”’ I says, ‘I'm afraid your're deaf.’ You might have heard its breathing outside in the street. He listened, and even he was satisfied. “Thank Heaven!’ he says, agd down he plumped in the easy chair by the fireplace. “You know, I never thought of that,” he goes on He's been shut up im that basket for over an hour, and if by any chance he'd managed to get his head entangled in the clothes—I'l] never do euch a fool's trick again.” “You're fond of it?’ I says.

Do you know I have’ discovered that the time-honored suburban plan of going jut in the evening and looking for your non-returning cow with a lan- tern is a mistake. All you need to do is to go out and follow the side- walks till you fall over your cow contentedly lying down ang chewing her cud. There is really no danger in falling over a recumbent cow. Her bulk is such that you slide down the other side, and by a skilful little turn, easily acquired, you perform a somerset as you go down and light on your feet.

The rain began to fall and I hoisted my umbrella, a fine silk affair which I got—it really was an excellent silk umbrella. I was proceeding by dead reckoning and was wondering if the cow was by our fireside or aoroad—it was a wild night for a cow to be out—when suddenly I heard a report, and, looking up, dis- covered that I could see the wicked flashes of the lightning through my umbrella. I hauled it down and found that the cover had been car- ried away and the ribs turned up- ward, making it look like a skele- ton champagne glass. I threw it away and went on home. The cow was there, a strange’ boy having brought her in and collected $3 from my wife for damages done to his mother’s garden. “The next day I got an umbrella the next morning had not the steeple also subsequently been carried away. I then determined on bold. measures, and invented the Poppleduke. Ar- mored Cruiser. “It consists of a stalk of gas-pipe, surmounted by .a sheet-iron cover.

He had given the case of Sam Harris, charged with horse- stealing, to the jury at 9 o'clock that morning. and now it was close on to 10 at night, with no. sign of the twelve men. With the weak defense put up there was every reason to expect a quick verdict, and His-Honor was about to investigate the matter when the jury filed into the court-room. “Wall, hev ye fellers really reached a verdict?” queried the Judge sarcastically, ag he took his seat and prepared for business. “Ye bet, Jedge!" was the hearty reply of the foreman. ‘We've reached thirty or forty of ‘em.” “Thirty or forty of em?" echoed His Honor in astonishment. “That's what we hey.” continued the foreman. “We've got vardicts agin half the town, an’ if we hadn't got so tired and dry we might hev found a few more.” “But—but I don't exactly understand ye.” . “Wall, it's Iike this, Jedge. When we got sot down we figgered it wuz a mighty good time to git squar’ with sartin bad folks we knew of, an’ we purceeded to do it. We found Jim Perkins, who owes me $20 an’ won't pay it. guilty of fraud: we found Bill Bangs, who shot Juryman Smith's dawg last week. guilty of"—— “Stop right thar!” broke in the Judge, as he pounded with his fist until the windows jarred— “stop right thar’! Don't ye know ye hadn't any right to find vardicts agin any one but the pris- oner?”’ “and—and can't ye do nuthin’ to those fellers we found guilty?” “Sartinly not—sartinly sot! Now, render yer vardict In this case afore I'm tempted to fine ye all $100 fur takin® up the Court's time!” “Come—come to think of it. Jedge,” stammered the foreman, looking around sheepishly, “we wuz so busy argerin’ the other cases that we clean furgot this. Come on, boys, an’ we'll go back agin.” And back they shuffled to the jury-room, leay- ing His Honor too dumfounded to speak. He didn't fully recover his voice again until fen min- utes later, when they had brought In a verdict of conviction and been discharged.

A fisherman once took his cornet to the lake with him, in hopes that his harmonious notes would have a hyp- notic influence in attracting the fish to his hook. As soon as he had set his lines je raised the cornet to his lips, and soon made the welkin ring with some of the latest popular airs, but without the ex- pected result of gaining bites. “Perhaps I don't play loud enough,’ he thought. So he blew his cornet louder, but still no nibble. “Confound iIt!"" he exclaimed. are all the suckers to-day?" At that moment he glanced to the op- posite extremity of the lake, where he saw another angler pulling in fish hand over hand, who, seeing he was observed by the cornetist, shouted, “Bravo! En- core!"’ “I am giad that somebody appreciates my music,"" thought the man with the cornet. So, again raising the instru- ment, he accommodated the luckier fish- erman with another effort. “Again! Again!’’' shouted the second fisherman. “Is my music so great?’ hallooed the cornetist. “No,” replied the fisherman, “but it keeps all the fish over at this end of the lake.”” ‘Where IN THE KINDERGARTEN.

He was Cyrano de Hen- tiently. The rector of the Little Church Across the Street waited calmly on a settee, his face un- troubled, a smile upon his brow, for he was there to tie the nuptial knot, and he was being paid by the hour. “In one short hour, if all goes well, I shall be the Duchess de Kartuffel,” the fair girl muttered.
