SeNATOR GRAY HAD NOT HEARD ABOUT BRYAN. —— But He Says He Has No Doubt That There Is a “Sober, Thoughtful Opinion” in the Country Against Expansion. NEW YORK, Dec. 24.~Judge William R. Day, Senator C. K. Davis. Senator Geo: ge Gray, Senator W. P. Frye and Whitelaw Reid, the United States Commissioners to arrange a treaty of peace with Spain, eached home to-day on board the steamer Louls. Holding that the rules gov- erning their diplomatic mission are still in force, none of the gentlemen would speak regarding the work at Paris. They took the first train to Washington, car- rying the treaty of peace with them. J. Bassett Moore, Secretary and counsel of the Commission, and Arthur W. Ferguson, translator, were with the Commissioners. Mr. Reid said he and his fellow com- missioners were very glad to get back, but they could not discuss the treaty. “We are going to Washington this after- noon by the first train we can get,”’ he said, “and shall report immediately to the Presi- dent. It was understood among us that we should say nothing about our official busi- ness when We arrived. When the treaty was signed it became an official document, and it must be left for the public of the United States and the President to decide what shall be done with it.” Mr. Reid would not discues the published translation of what purported to be the text of the treaty, nor would he 6ay anything about Montero Rios’ recent criticism of the commission. “As & newspaper man I should like to speak,’ he said, “but as a public official I cannot.” --e Senator Gray. the iy Democrat on the commission, was told of W. J. Bryan's re- cently declared attitude on the question of expansion. “Um,” said the Senator, “I am not on to |. Bryan's curves yet.”’ The enator admitted that he had an opinion concerning expansion. “IT have no doubt,”’ sald he, “that there ts a sober, thoughtful opinion in this country against expansion—there must be. The treaty gives us control of the situation. We can do as we please. We can keep the Fhilippines or not, aS may be determined in the future.”’ Senator Frye sald: “At the opening of the session the Spaniards first wanted to give us the ‘Sland of Luzon; that we refused to take alone. Then came a equabble about the Cuban debt. We were not inclined to pay that, and after a hard fight of days and days our opponents finally yielded to our claims and sigried the treaty, which I have ’? in Paris HAPPY FOR FIVE MINUTES Cutter Owned a Bicycle That Filled His Heart With Joy. Cc. E. Cutter, the diligent news gatherer who represents the Aseocilated Press in St. Louis, was the happlest man in the Imperial City for five minutes of the noon hour Friday. During space of time Mr. It was a ‘“‘beaut,”’ high grade, '99 model, d®uble jointed, acro- batic. echatinless, fitted with combination handle bars, rat trap pedals, automatical pneumatic saddle, with the name blown in the tires. The thing was all but automobile. For lo, these many months Mr. Cutter has wanted just such a wheel as flashed in the sunlight before his dazzled eyes when he called at the express office response to a telephone meseage for a bicycle shipped to C. E. Cutter. He rolled hoofs; patted the saddle and felt of frame; there was bliss and anticipation in the eyes of Mr. Cutter. And the weather was just right to ride it home, too! Would he sign for it? Well—rather! He grasped the pen and proceeded to adjust it to the proper angle to affix his John Hancock to the receipt book, when—O, misery for Mr. Cutter. It wasn't for him at all. The consignee was F. E. and not C. E, Cutter. The clerk had made a mistake. RAY HEARS OF BANDITS. ee eee Reports That Insurgents Are Arming in Guantanamo. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dee. 24.—Lieut. Col.

MANY THOUSANDS OF CASES IN ST. LOUIS. FORTUNATELY, THE DISEASE IS IN MILD FORM AND WITH FEW FATALITIES. PNEUMONIA IS THE DANGER TO SE FEARED. Doctors Say the Grip Can Hardly Be Prevented, but With Care the Pa- tient Recovers From an At- tack in Four Days. Despite Health Commissioner Starkloff’s statement to the contrary, grip is epidemic in St. Louis. The disease is not confined to any par- ticular section, but is prevalent all over the city. : In houses where it exists at all there are as a rule more than one case. Dr. Amand Ravold, the City Bacteriolo- gist, whom Mayor Ziegenhein desired to be made Superintendent of the City Hos- pital. says the grip is contagious, The germs are in the air, blown out of the ée- cretions from the noses and mouths of grip patients. The . present form is characterized as mild, but among the possible developments of grip, pneumonia is thé serious conse- quence feared. Grip appeared in scattered cases eariy in the week and assumed the proportions of an epidem'c Friday. Inquiries made by the Post-Dispatch Sat- urday morning showed that the number of cases had increased abou: 25 rer cent over those known to exist Tnursday. This information was furnished hy phy- s:clans at large. Those interviewed rom the localities in which they practice may be said to speak for the medical profes- sion of the city.

Republican, not long since, in the course of some remarks about hypnotisin and “suggestion,” asked whether the President was not under some such in- 7 fluence when he talked so largely about “destiny” and other ; occult Influences. An inquiry was then. addressed to Dr. Auguste Forel, an eminent man of science in Switzerland. In his reply the learned man dwelt briefly upon ‘‘conscious- ly concentrated hypnotism,” “hypnotic antitheses,” “action and reaction,’ “unconscious suggestion” and “auto-sugges- tion, «sides several other cloud-like but important notions, and then observed: “As regards your honored President, Mr. McKinley, I must declare my perfect incompetence to an- Bwer your query; and I only venture a single and humble Wish in the name of our little Switzerland—that his grand Suggestions of civilizing conquests may de-hypnotize him a little from his protectionism in the extreme.” The doctor a humorist. But there common sense in his suggestion. “Suggestion” operates powerfully upon a peo- ple, especially a people wrought up by a great national idea. The “psychology of croWds” is reckoned with by all clever politicians. If the “suggestion” of expansion has also “‘sug- gested” to the President and his protectionist followers that itis worth while to expand trade as well as dominion, it not altogether evil. It is to be hoped they will brood’ over the suggestion until they manifest its hypnotic power. > » 1s is is ——_—_-—_— Zmperialism Openly Admitted.—There is no longer any timid- ity on the part of imperialists concerning either the policy or the name of the policy they want. In the local Republican organ it is stated that Secretary Long and others have urged the President to £0 to Boston and that it is taken for granted he will say something there “in behalf of the imperial policy.” Imperialism ts no longer a Vyonary bugaboo, & is ramping among us, - & > ree POPULAR VOTE ON FRANCHISES. One of the probable results of the attempted hold-up of Cht- cago by the franchise grabbers will be a law to submit all franchise propositions to popular vote. Representative-elect Dennis Sullivan of the Chicago delega- tion has prepared a bill embodying this improvement on ex- isting methods, and says he will introduce it when the Legis- Jature meets. : Mr. Sullivan's bill provides that no franchise shall be granted to a street railway under the Allen law until the proposition has been submitted to a popular vote in the municipality di- rectly interested. The referendum is particularly applicable to grants of fran- ‘chises. The unblushing greed of the franchise grabbing cor- Porations is maxing it a necessity. | ———- 9-02... ee Old Glory Has No American Enemies.—The patriotism of Gen.

The rule adopted by the Chicago & Northwestern R. R. Co. and affiliated corporations that women shall no longer be em- ployed on their lines throws several thousand employes upon the chances of a not over friendly world. The reason civen is that women, while competent for many selérical positions, are not able to render necessary service ‘under ihe exigencies of circumstances which often arise. Men ‘only can always be depended upon when the routine is broken fand sudden calls for special duty are made, If the view shall be generally adopted by employers great {euffering will result. Many women are breadwinners for themseives alone or for families. But the view is not Iikely to be generally adopted. In the rush of women into employ- ments hitherto occupied by men, mistakes have been made, but the sexes will adjust themselves to suitable employments and their reepective values will be recognized. The adoption of a rule against female labor, on account of sex, would be a great injustice, the consequences of which Cannot be contemplated without a shudder. —_——_____ee4 AM amusing .incident of these expansion days is Senator Hoar's motion that on Feb. 22 Washington's farewell address ehali be read in the Senate.

ALTSHELER, author of 7 ‘‘A Goldier of Manhattan” and other | historical novels, growing reputation by has added to his the completion of A Herald of the West,” just published by D. Appleton & Co., New York. This is a romance of the stirring period preceding the war of 1812. It is told by the hero. in the first person, who recounts in a simple, clear, narrative styje his ad- ventures while feeling the temper of tne large Eastern cities regarding the forth- coming break with England It is as a herald from the West and South that young Ten Broeck, the hero, roes to New England in behalf of the Fed- eral government, at the time when James Madison was President and the Capitol at Washington in process of building. Great Britain was then getting ready for a lif® and death siruggle with Napoleon, and neither English nor French cared much for the rights of neutral nations, The government at London, particularly, persistently ignored the wishes of thej United States, and allowed British ships to kidnap and impress American citizens without redress. At the botn nations used American sulted their own convenience. These conditions and the Intense popular feeling against Great Britain, tempered hy the hesitancy of the New England com- mercial class, Kept the country in a tur- moil, especially the coast cities. The re- sult was that a man of enterpriee, great strength and courarge, such as Mr. Alt- sheler endows his hero with, was in con- stant hot water, and his adventures fur- nish material for a capital romance. The Altsheler historical novels are noted for a clearnesa and pleasing fluency of stvle. and critics who have read all of them are of opinion that “A Herald of the West” is best. Most, if not all, of it was probably written before the “era of good feeling’’ which some profess is now on be- tween American and Great Britain began. There was certainly no love lost between the .two countries at the time of ‘Ten Broeck’s journey, and students of history must conclude that Mr. Altsheler has pro- duced a faithful and most interesting pic- ture of one of the most critical periods in the life of this country ARRY CASTLEMON {s a H author of books for boys. est is No. 3 of the “Afloat and Achore Scries,.”” and ts entitled “A Ten-Ton Cutter.” It ts a story of how a boy with a lazy, good-for-nothing father, wrested fortune from untOward conditions.

I missed the owl car 'n hadda walk about @ biocks in th’ snow. That Wasn't so worse, but I lost th’ seMpty cents which I had fer egg-nog at th’ club on Christmas day, ‘n th’ gang fouidn’t stand fer th’ story, an’ they gimme th’ marble heart. ° * * * Kut I don't know—I wish this was th’ same Christmas. Yu see, me kid brudder got married since then ‘n I gotta stand fer a touch every payday—hobby horses are cheap now. Speakin’ about this Christmas, I was aginst it good 'n plenty yestiday.

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM TOQUE.—Ths French toques of gathered velvet are all worn very flat and wide across the face, resting almost entirely on the back of whe hair. A pretty model has a full brim of black velvet with a bunch of ragged chry- santhemums in front and wings from be- hind these to the right and left. Among the rich shades in chrysanthemums, helio- trope and deep damasks are much worn. Another toque is made with a soft crown of green silk. A long feather encircles the brim and slightly to the left side is a drooping tip and a handsome cut steel buckle. THE EVENING BOA.—The evening boa is not only not obsolete, but is more in evidence this season than ever before. Smart women wear them to the knees, made of the softest liberty silk poppies etals, falling one thickness over the othee, he center‘of the boa is usually a long roll as big as one’s finger, stuffed with wool and thoroughly impregnated with souve- nir du jardin, a delicate and popular new perfume. OIL OF ROSES.—Two pints of olive oll, one drachm of attar of roses, one drachm of oll of rosemary. Mix thoroughly. and color it, if desired, by steeping a_ little alkanet root in the oil (with heat) before scenting it. GLYCERINE BALSAM.—Take one ounce each of white wax and spermaceti, half a pound of almond oil, two ounces of giy- cerine and a quarter of a drachm of attar of roses. WHITH LIP SALVE.—Almond oll, quar- ter of a pound; wax and spermaceti, each one ounce: attar of almonds, half a drachm; attar of geranium, quartér of a drachm. Heat and mix thoroughly. LIME-WATER.—To make lime-water for home use secure a piece of fresh Hme the size of an egg; put it into am ordinary fruit jar, cover with a quart of water; al- low it to stand over night, drain off the water and bottle for use. HATR TONIC.—Take a small quantity of rosemary, strip the leaves from the stalks and place them in a jar with nearly half a pint of cold water. Place the jar near the fire and let the contents simmer gently for an hour or two without settling or burning. When the water is somewhat reduced, the infusion will be eufficiently strong. Add half a pint of rum and sim- mer for a while longer. When cold, strain the liquid from the leaves and Keep it in a bottle ready for use. Apply to the roots of the hair with a emall sponge or picce of flannel WHOLE WHEAT BREAD WITH BAK- ING POWDER.—Put four quarts of whole whet bread into a bowl: add aix teaspoon- fuls of baking powder, sift it several times, then moisten with cold water: divide Into four loaves, knead lightly, put each into a baking-pan, brush over the top with melted butter, and bake in a moderate oven at least one hour, or, better, one hour and «& quarter. Be very carefel that the | oven is not too hot, or a heavy non-con- ducting crust will be formed at once, pre- venting the heat from reaching the center of the loaf, thus leaving it moist. Bake in the ordinary square bread-pans. WALDORF SALAD is made from apples and celery. Use mayonnaise dresaing, into Which you have stirred whipped cream. Pure the apples and chop them rather fine; cut the celery, mix the two together, and sprinkle over a little lemon joice, salt and | pepper. Make the mayonnaise exceedingly stiff; just before mixing it with the apples and celery stir into it sufficient whipped cream to make it light in color, but not enough to speil its consistency; add a few drops of green coloring: mix the whole together and serve on lettuce leaves. COCOANUT KISSES.—Beat the whites of eight egevs until frothy, then add gradually one pound of powdered sugar, that has been sifted, with a tablespcontul of vavila Sugar. Beat until stiff, and white as snow, Wrop by speontuls on white paper, place on a board, dust thickly with sugar, blow off all that does not stick, and place the: board in a quick oven; watch carefully until they are hard and a light fawn color, For cocoanut Kisses add a cup of grated cocoanut before they are dropped on the paper. SALTED ALMONDS cannot be called an entree as we use the word. Almonds In small quantities ald digestion, and may passed throughout the meal. No other nuts will take their place. One May ug6 pecans or pignolias at luncheon or dinner; they are not, however, aids to digestion. NURSING MOTHER.—A nursing at all times eat sufficient, good, wholesome food, Puree of beans, peas and lentils are said to be milk-producing foods. They muat, however, be thoroughly cooked and siowly eaten. A mother should but not overeat, GLUTEN GEM8.—Put a pint of ice-water in a boiler.

THEY WERE WARM FRIENDS. Communicants of Visitation Church Are Perturbed by the Prospect-of Losing Their Popular Pastor. It is reported in ecclesiastical circles that Rev. Father Edward Fenlon will be ap- pointed to the pastorate of St. Bridget’s Church, made vacant by the death of Mgr. William Walsh. He now has charge of the parish of Visi- tation Church at Taylor and Easton ave- nues. There are a number of candidates for the position, but the chances are al) in Father Fenilon’s favor. He was an inti- mate friend of Father Walsh for many years and delivered the panegyric at the funeral. He was also identified with the movement to have the present metropoll- tan, then Bishop of Wheeling, W. Va., transferred to St. Louis. Archbishop Kain sees an opportunity, it is argued, to repay this kindness and will, if the inner circles — not in its predictions, take advantage 9) Father Fenlon is one of the best known and most popular priests in St. Louls. He is about 55 years old. He has had charge of Visitation parish since its establishment, 10 years ago. The congregation is a large one, considering the population of the par- ish. The church edifice is a frame struc- ture. A new edifice is contemplated, the building of which would entail a vast . mount of labor and worry on Father Fen- on, St. Bridget’s is the second largest pas- torate in St. Louis. It contains nearly 6000 communicants. The church and echoo;s of the parish are entirely free from debt. rr. Thomas Walsh, who is temporarily administering St. Bridget parish affairs, de- veloped such executive and financial ability under the training of Mgr. Walsh that it would surprise no one that if in the event of Fr. Fenlon not being appointed, he should he chosen as rector. He has been stationed at St. Bridget's for four years, going there direct from Rome, where he was ordained for the priesthood. It is not customary, however, to give so young a riest charge of so important a _ parish. he salary of a pastor, provided the parish income Warrants it, {s $1000 a year. In addition are the fees for marriages and baptisms and other incidentals, which foot up quite a penny. Mer. Walsh's income was large, but he gave a great deal of it to the poor and for the education of strug- gling students. The rumor that Fr. Fenlon waa selected for the vacancy gained general credence tn the Visitation parish Thursday. So Thurs- day night in inform 1] meeting of prominent parishioners was held to discuss ft, “We want Fr. Fenlon to stay right where he is.’ said one parishioner. “True, there will be considerable work there in the near “uture, but Fr Fenlon is the man to ac- complieh xood results. I know he {fs not be gen- is understood that It Archbishop Kain ‘will not make the appointment until after January 1.

Present Laws He Considers Ineffica- cious in Many Respects and Generally Wrong. Chairman George W. Jones of the Board of Election Commissioners has prepared a pamphlet containing a large number of , recommendations to the Governor, the Leg- ! IsvY, at | house . braska, articles. islature and citizens generally for changes in the present election laws ag applied to St. Louis. The most radical change suggested is that the number of commissioners be re- duced to one, to be appointed by the Gov- ernor at a salary of $3600. If this is not adopted, he suggests that the provision that the minority member of the Board shall appoint one-half of the assistants be stricken out, thus giving the majority mem- , bers the appointment of as a assistants as they ee with to henaioe Another important change suggested is that the power to review the entire list of judges and clerks be taken from the Cir- cuit Judges. Mr, Jones would have the judges and clerks appointed by the com- missioners from lists made up by the two |S ea parties, and he would give the a ousaee — iy ten a, only upon i@ appeal of a citizen fro the Fe OneTS, = he Cree ae Ot less In importance Is Mr. F - gestion that the separate ballet, “ohinn was adopted two years ago, be abandoned. He says one trial has demonstrated its expen- siveness, cumbersomeness and tendency to confuse voters. He favors the Tennessee ballot, upon which candidates are grou alphabetically, and upon which the politic parties are not mentioned at all. Failing in this he would return to the blanket ballot but would do away with the scratching system and would have voters designats their candidates by cross marks after the names. Mr. Jones suggests that the Com- m_ssioners be empowered to select election officers from any part of the city without reference to what precinct they reside in. He would give the Commissioners power to select the newspapers in which adver- ne, shall be done. , n important change suggested !s addition to the precinct reaietration "the Commissioners be empowered to register voters at the‘r office during the whole of the month of September each year. He points out that by the present system, with the short time allowed for registration many qualified voters who are unable to register on the designated days, are dis- franchised. Mr. Jones suggests that-it be made man- datory that a police off.cer accompany the clerks in their canvass after registration: and he would empower the police officer to report any derelictions of duty upon the part of the clerks. Police officers for this work should be selected by the Chief of Police and should be required to be present on re- vision day, when names are erased, so that he may answer any questions the judges may propound to him. , He would require the Commissioners to publish the full list of registered voters in one dally paper. He suggests two days in- stead of one day of intermediate registra- tion. A number of suggestions are made intended to prevent fraud in the counting of ballots. He would empower the Commissioners to employ an attorney, and would give them the authority to make contracts for printing and binding. He would increase the pay of judges and clerks of election from $3 to $% a day. He suggests that the provision requiring all ballots to be num- bered and marked with the initials of judges be stricken out, claiming that thou- sands of voters are disfranchised by the carelessness or inefficiency of Judges in this respect. Finaliy. he would give over to .the Com- missioners the power to change ward lines, which is now vested in the City Council. Mr. Jones also suggests a number of changes in the primary law. He would have the primaries of both parties held on the same day under the direction of the same election officers, and would have the candidates for nomination to city offices be voted for directly at the primary, thus do- ing away with the necessity for city con- venticns. DRAMA OF “CAPT. DREYFUS.” Play Presented to a Jewish Audience in Yiddish at Chicago, CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—At Glickman'’s The- ater last night “Capt. Dreyfus,” a four-act play, was presented by Jews to a Jewish audience. The languish was the Yiddish of the Nihilists. The drama is from the pen of P. Tomas- hefsky. And most of Jewry was there; not the Jews of the Hebrew charity ball or the Hebrew bazaars; not the millionaires of Drexel boulevard, but the Jews of the Ghetto, who talk Yiddish and remain «@ separate people, proud of their descent. And what a hero is Dreyfus! The firs secene shows the black hearts of Esterhaz and Henry and the perfect manliness of Dreyfus.

Retired Commander Opposed to Power of the Bureaucracy. WASHINGTON, Dec. &—Gen. O. VO. Howard, in testimony before the War In- vestiguting Commission yesterday, said he strongly opposed the bureaucracy and thought a commanding general should be in absolute control of his camp and corps, Gen. Wilson became interested at this and asked !f Gen. Howard thought the mmun- agement of Camp Thomas had been hampered by bureaucracy. It took about fifteen minutes to get a direct answer. But on the third repetition of the question, ( . Howard said that he thought there might have been something of the sort in connection with Camp Thomas. As to the lessons of the war, Gen. How- ard said he thought it had been thoroughly proved that the troops could not be ae- elimated in Southern camns for service in the more malwrial fections of the West Indies.

ITs SILVER IN GENERAL FAVOR, Old Spanish Dollar Satisfactory, De- spite Inflated Value, and Read- justment Will Be Difficult. HAVANA Dec. 244.—American contro! of Cuba is so close at hand that it 's possible to see clearly the work ahead. Maintain- ing orders Dy means of the troops is a pre- liminary condition so well understood that it does not cali for explanation. All classes in Cuba know why the soldiers are here, and knowing, they acquiesce. That know!}- edge in itself ‘s the best guarantee of tran- quillity. Isolated instances may arise which will cali for repression, but these will not affect the general good order. They will be no drawback to tne Measures of ladies trial and commercial! reconstruction, which necessarily precede the pol'tica! govern- ment of the islands as it may be determined in the future, The commercial classes are showing the qrontent adaptability to the new conditions, Vithin a fortnight after mulgated business wil] be moving smoothly In its accustomed channels. The only un- certainty of the future is that which will oune from the shifting of the money stand- So far as preparations can be a change of this kind. the business houses of Havana have made it. They do not as yet know positively ‘that Customs duties are to be paid tn the currency of the U'nited States and they are not certain that the inflation will be squeezed out of the Span- ish and French and gold coins, but they anticipate a modification of eome kind. This is the one cloud that hangs over the business community. The sentiment aga:‘nst changing the present artificial re- lation of values appears to be growing. The merchants and bankers who are op- posed to a change advance some strong arguments against modifying the pre:- ent system. They take the ground that since the United States ex- pects to collect the customs reven- made for change is not desirable. By the in the goid coins by which everything from an ounce down to a doubloorm or a French basis. Through all the eriodsa of intern: war and industrial anarchy gold eS te oto in the island and the paper issue, known as ‘“‘Weyler’s script’’ did not make headway or debauch the currency. That is one ren- eon the merchants who oppose a change in the present artificia) values advance. They think that as gold has been kept in the channels of trade it will continue to flow in the same channels without the neces- sity of squeezing out the inflation. The readjustment of financial Values in Its in- fluence on the debtors and creditors of the island is something that cannot be fully analyzed. The banking houses and firms which re- celve deposits will all adhere to their agree- ment and repay their depositors on the basis of $17 for an ounce, $5.80 for a cen- ten, $4.25 for a doubloon and $4.24 for a louis, Becaure of the are urging the withdrawal of deposits while these values prevail. It is a pecullar con- though only a temporary one. The debts As the sugar planters and everybody else is in debt, the repayment under new con- ditions ment. irms in the United States, money during the period of the insurrection usually stipulated that repayment should be in American money or its equivalent They are not certain what wil] be sidered the equivalent. The use of silver in the daily transactions promises to be the most troublesome of all the questions that must be settled by the United States. The merchante, the sugar planters, who are opposed to a change in the present system, say the transition to a different basis cannot be made without industrial disturbances and without great hardship to all employers of labor. Wages and salaries are paid in it. Not- withstanding the fluctuations in vAlue as measured by the daily quotations against gold, it serves all practical purposes, I[n the country districts the mass of the popu- lation never see any money except silver “pesos” or dvullars, “pesetes”’ or 20-cent pieces and ‘‘reales’’ or dimes. The rate of daily wages is ordinarily a silver dollar. The purchasing power does not follow the fluctuations so closely as might be sup- osed. This has been illustrated during the aet three months. Though the “centen* now buys only seven Spanish silver dol- lars, where formerly it bought eight, the Wuage-earners are not able to purchase more wit their wages.

They do not believe that the laborers on the sugar plantations and elsewhere can be argued into accepting re- duced wages in money of an increased pur- chasing power, because that readjustment would come slowly. The experience of la- borers has not been such as to cause them to wait patiently for the natural change under which values would regulate them-_ selves. They know what a Spanish silver dollar has meant tothem. They will not be easily convinced that S% cents in either Spanish or American silver means just as much. ‘ other hand, the employers as a wages. The add to the difficulties.

The fair hostess has arranged for Santa Claus to be there in person and he will distribute the gifts. Mrs. Milen has been a resident of St. louis but Httle more than two years. She is the wife of Dr. Theodore Milen. She has no children of her own to make happy on Christmas and she is sure that her own will be made the happier by introducing some joy into the lives of twelve little urchins of the street whose advantages have been limited. Mrs. Milen is an entertaining ented woman. The walls of her luxuriant home are decorated with many handsome paintings, her own work. She has written much for the magazines und has published a small volume of poems. She is accom- plished tn music. “I love children,’ said Mrs. Milen, “though I have never been blessed with any of my own. It is just a year ago that a child I had #dopted died, and it was the anniversary of her death that caused me to plan this entertainment for the little news- boys. “Corinne was the name I gave the little girl that died, and I was es attached to her as though she were my very own. We lived in San Francisco when we adopted her. I gaw a pathetic story ina newspaper of a poor Spanish family on whom the hiend of affiilction had fallen heavily. I called at the place. There was a beautiful ‘baby only a few months old. She hed large black eyes, and jet black glossy hagir. When I1 approached the bed on which the babe lay with her mother the little thing held out it schubby arms to me. I took Her mother knew of me, and when i asked her for the baby she gave her to me gladly. In a few days little Corinne’s and tal- | mother died. “IT took the baby home. I dressed her like a doll and was happy with her. She grew more beautiful every day. She leagmed so rapidly after she began to walk and was beautiful. that attracted attention wherever she went. “When we came to St. Louis Corinne had already begun: to fade. There was consumption in her family. She wes only 414 years old when she died a year ago.”’ —_ —— SO she strengthen the mother and child and con. leseent. valescent Woman Rescued by Police. ee —— Supposed to Be George Bates.

Dr. Price’s Cream Baxing Powder combines all the elements of ideal excellence, It is highest in leaven- ing power. It is free from the least taint of impurity. No trial can be too exhaustive, no test too exacting, for its admirable qualities, Cake and biscuit made with it retain their moisture, and are extremely light, flaky and fine grained—not coarse and full of holes as when made with alum baking powders, Alum baking powder leaves a bitter taste in the bread or cake and food pre pared with it dries up quickly. The severest tests were imposed at the World's Columbian Exposition and the California Midwinter Fair, where Dr, Price’s Cream Baking Powder eclipsed all competitors, After full examination and competi- jon it secured the highest honors and a special gold COUNCILMEN FELT SLIGHTED ae They Held Up Dr. Ravold’s Appoint- ment as Hospital Superintendent. Amand Ravold’s appo'ntment as Su- perintendent of the City Hospital suc- ceed Dr. Otto Sutter was rejected by the City Council Friday night, the report of the Committee on Sanitary Affairs, which rec- ommended that he not be confirmed, being adopted by a vote of 9 to 2. It {s probable that any other appointee than Dr. Ravold would have met a similar fate. as the hostility.of the Councilmen is directed against the Mayor rather than against the appointee. The contention of the Councilmen is that » Mavor has not treated the Upper House courteously in the matter of consulting its members in regard to his appointments When ex-Congressman William M. Kinsey was made City Attorney, it was done with- out consultation with that body. Only Messrs. Horton and Uthoff voted tn favor of confirming the appointment of Dr. Ravold.
