SAID TO BE OPERATED WITH PERFECT SAFETY. The Auto-Trucks Take Up Less Room, Movi Faster and Are Under Bet- ter Control Than Teams of Horses. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—The New York Auto-Truck Co., with a capital of $1,000,000, has been incorporated. With this capital it is proposed to auto-trucks, oper- ated by compressed air, in the streets of the city. At present the only persons whose names are made public in connection with this scheme are James E. Hoadly and Henry KE. Knight, Mr. Hoadly is president of the Compressed Air Power Co. Mr. Hoadly and Mr. Knight combined their interests in compressed air motors some years ago and William C. Whitney became interested in their company. Their motors have recently been adopted by the Metropolitan Traction Co. for use on the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth street crosstown lines, and will soon be in operation. Joseph Leiter recently acquired a controlling interest in the foreign rights of the Hoadly-Knight patents. in an in- terview, Mr. Leiter spoke guardedly of his Plane for placing automobiles in London and other foreign cities, but said that it was merely a matter of time when all great cities would be compelled to adopt some form of motor.in place of horses. Mr. Hoadly declined to state whether the Capitalists back of the New York Auto- Truck Co. were Mr. Leiter and Mr. Whit- ney or tell who they were. He said that the organization of the company is not yet completed and that until it is the names of its officers or directors would not be made public. Of the plans of the company he also spoke guardedly. “We have built @auto-trucks,”’ he sa‘d, “and used them at our works in Massachu- setts. We can haul a load of eight tons 25 miles without repienishing the air. It is easier for our trucks to move eight tons than for three horses to haul six tons in an ordinary street. On wet asphalt horses are almost helpless, and with the substi- tution of asphalt for paving stones the horse must go." “I'rom a sanitary standpoint and in the matter of cleanliness it would make a great d‘fference in the city if the 150,000 or 160,- 000 horses in its streets were done away with. Our trucks will take up less room and will move much faster than an ordina- ry team, and they are under such perfect control that there is less danger to life and limb than with horses. “Electricity cannot be used for trucks designed to carry heavy loads, owing to the weight of the storage Dbatter'es that would be required. It does very well for cabs and light delivery wagons, but trucking is an- other matter. If we had our trucks in the city when that last snow storm fell we could have removedalt in 72 hours at the outside.’’ ? ' An attempt 1s to made to absorb the principa! trucking interests.in the city, and so gradually replace horse-drays with auto- trucks without antagonizing the present owners. The plan proposed is similar to that followed in organizing trusts, Sé¢pa- rate interests are to fe purchased and truck drivers are to become motormen, If this plan does not work there will be a fight between the old methods and the new. COLLAPSE OF A BUILDING.

Patrick Dorkin's leg was wrenched, but his injury is not serious. Tulley and Dorkin were laborers employed on the building. The building was a two-story etructure, and had not been quite completed.: On the west side of the buliiding, on the second floor, a New York concern was erecting two mammouth ovens. A score of work- men were at. work around the building. Luke Tulley was beneath the ovens mixing concrete when the crash came. One of the iron pillars that sustained the weight gave way. In an instant. the ovens plunged downward, taking wth them great stee! eye-beams and girders. The front wall of the building fell forward, and the bricks were thrown in a pile on the pavement. Tulley, who was at work immediateiy under the ovens had no chance to escape. He was caught under the mags of bricks, mortar and steel. It took the firemen four hours to remove the debria that covered When reached Tulley was dead, but it appeared the debris had eo fallen about him that he was smothered instead of crushed. Tulley's wife and several cail- dren are living in Cincinnati. Ane carefully ~*~ — any —_. to-morrow ursday's ‘ost- FIVE MEN INJURED. Switch Engine’s Crown Sheet Blows Out With Great Force.

ANARCHIST JOURNALS TO BE SUPPRESSED AND EDITORS ARRESTED. PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ALL SUSPECTS TO BE SECRET. Result of the Conference Just Con- cluded in Rome for the Suppres- sion of the Menace to Governments. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. ROME, Dec. 28.—The Post-Dispatch ccr- respondent has secured from a delegate the result of the anti-anarchist conference re- cently held here, whose proceeding have previously been kept secret.- 1. An International Bureau of Police for the surveillance of anarchists is to be es- tablished at Berlin, consiating of nine members, German, Austrian, French, En- giish, Italian, Russian, Swiss, Belgian and Dutch. This bureau will correspond direct with all the police of Europe, and will be rep- resented in each country by special agents. All the States represented wilil contribute equally to the maintenance of the bureau. 2. European Governments are to nexo- tiate for extradition treaties governing an- archists. Anarchists are defined as all those who make a public profession of the anarchist faith, who are found in possession of anar- chist publications, bombs and letters of an anarchistic character, and all members of anarchist societies. A perso. convicted of an anarchist crime will be puntshed according to the law of the countgy where the crime was com- mitted. Anarchists’ journals are to be placed un- der censure, their circulation interdicted, their editors, printers and distributers pro- céeied against as anarchists. All proceedings against anarchists are to be conducted in secret. These decisions were accepted by the del- egates from Germany, Austria. Russia, Itaiy, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Montenegro, Servia and Rou- mania. but England, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Greece rejected them. It is probable that the ultimate result of the conference will be establishment of an international peace bureau. WILL REST IN HAVANA. Bodies of Gen.

Rudyard Kipling has again struck a sturdy human note th Ris poem on Kitchener's School, published tn another col- umn. 4 in Kipling the vigorous characteristics which have enabled , Anglo-Saxon to overrun and dominate the world seem to | weil nigh perfect literary expression.

The boodlers get their money and then the bribers sell out to speculators from abroad. There is a rake-off for everybody but the taxpayers, whose property is sold under their noses by a gang of sharps who have no right whatever to it. -— — = -~ - NOT CHILD'S PLAY. Judge Spencer is inclined to matter. In refusing to grant Mrs. Yerger a divorce he emphatically ceclared that incompatibility of temper was not a sufficient cause. Incidentally the Judge read a lecture on marriage in which | he clearly showed that in his view the word duty and the thing it represents are not obsolete in the relations of hus- band and wife. He actually intimated that a woman ought not to seek a divorce merely because she did not love her husband and wanted to be free, but ought to try to make the best of her compact and to make the husband, so long as he leved her, contented. This is strange doctrine in these later days. There has been astrong inclination in society and the courts to elevate desire above duty, or perhaps it should be said, to eliminate duty al- together in considering the matrimonial tie. It is a good thing to have the fancies and the ordinary roughnesses of individual tempera- ments and tempers are not good reasons for breaking the legal tie. It may have a wholesome éffect on those wha are in- clined tu treat matrimony with all of its high obligations, re- Marriage is not child’s play. Eee benefactors of mankind will the One of the greatest be writer of a law that will prevent unnecessary delay in litigation. In many cases, long delays are all that a defendant expects to rain, and by them he may obstruct the course of justice for years. The purposely delayed case should be the first to re- ceive the attention of a court. oe Paris is so bad that an American lady says: “If we must have a French education in music, art, literature and lan- guage, found a college in America and bring the French teachers here.” This is undoubtedly the best thing to do. The atmosphere or Paris is highly un-American and morally unhealthful. \ 2ee Rudyard Kipling never indulges in “taffy,” but he came very near to it in his comment on the understanding between Great Britain and the United States in last Sunday's Post- Dispatch. Kipling is one of the elemental forces in the world and it is to be hoped he will keep his head clear of sentimen- tality. = = ™ ~~ = = The machine that is to receive eight or ten telegraphic mes- Sages at once may be in use in the course of the new year, and it ought to very much lower telegraphic expenses to the business world.

To Morra’s Grandson: I dreamed that mamma and I were talking in the kitchen when my grand- mother, who has been dead for several years, opened the door and walked in so haggard and broken down. She had an old umbrelia in her hand and her mouth was open and I could see biood in it. She walked over to my mother and tried to throw her fo the ground when J put up my hands and screamed, I woke up. lease in- J thie for me. A READER Your terrible dream is a warning to you you should change your ideas of the so-called dead. Try to picture ‘them to yourself as still living, and cast from you all the « 4. foolish terrors of death and the grave, that are inspired by visits to grave- yards and foolish tales, “There is no death,’’ and if our departed relatives are allowed to be near us, it is not as ghouls or terrifying ghosts, but as living guard- jans. “A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM.” Moyra's Grandson: Please tell me the meaning of this dream: I thought I was walking one even- ng a few squares from my home, when | met a little child apparently about 3 years of age. He seemed to be oy picked him up and carried him home, telling bim I had some pretty fish in a bowl, which I wanted to show him. While I was carrying him home I thought he fell asleep, but when I got him te the house IT laid him in the hall and found that instead of being asleep he was dead. Afterwards I found that his parents lived in the neighborhood and had the body returned to them. DREAMER. The finding of a little child means your discovery of a new truth. of life—some thought that you will care for and your own. The apparent death signifies that you ehould allow such new truth to lead you up higher, as the child’s soul goes upward. PLEASANT THOUGHTS, Moyra's Grandson: If you wil! interpret my two dreams I shall be much indebted. 1 dreamed 1 found a seven-leaved clower: second, I received a beantiful turquois ring, which I lost, but recovered. Very traly, MUFFIE, St. Louis. These symbols seen in dreams merely in- dicate that pleasant thoughts are passing through the mind. “ON THE FENCE.” To Moyra’s Grandson: 1 dreamed I was being married to a young lady to whom I am engaged. Everything was going along smoothly until the preacher came to where | was to promise to obey my wife. I objected to this and he left it Hie then went on until the young lady was romise to obey me. I objected to this also. He fort it out and went on. I do not remember any more of the dream after we were married. Do not remember of leaving the church or anything else. What does the dream mean. SKREVTICAL. The dream signifies that you are “‘on fence’ as to questions of morality and the conduct of life. Interpreted by symbols. vou do not desire to be guided by the af- fections (meant by the wife). On the other hand, you do not think the affections should be subjected to the reason (symbolized by yourself in the dream). Hence the vision breaks off suddenly! because you are ina quandary and don’t know what to do. LOVE THE CHIEF THING. To Moyra’s Grandson: Last night I dreamed that I had, or rather, found, a little vellow dog. It seemed as though I thought a great deal of it. I showed my appreciation for it by constantly kisa- ing and hugging it. Vapa told me I had better send it awav, but mamma told me to keep it,. be- cause she said it would be a great comfort to me when I was married. Please tell me if this has aby particular meaning, and oblige H.

To Moyra’sa Grandson: I dreamed a few nights ago of an angel fiying across me. it spread its hands over me and then flew north through the wall. Please tell me what this dream means. St. yuis. MRS. B. The angel symbolizes protection from danger and falsehood. This protection you will nd by being true to yourself in all things. OPPOSED TO FRIVOLITIES. To Moyra’s Grandsén: I am a young lady and the other night I dreamed 1 received a hat as a present, but it was only a child's bat, and had an elastic sewed in it. On the elastic was a plain gold ring Il didn’t know who sent it. Dut sus- pected a certain gentleman, and so I would not have anything to do with a rotted ring. After yutting both away in a box, awoke te g JENNIE JUNE. This dream signifies that you are op- posed to false pretenses and frivolous ideas, even when some good thing seems involved in them. THOUGHTS AND AFFECTIONS. To Moyra’s Grandson: I dreamed I started out walking with a lady friend; suddenly I lost her, so» I walked alone for awhile until I came to a beautiful lake, where many people were walking, especially darkies. An old white-halred lady epoke io me and I said to her: ‘‘Whenever I see a large body of water I feel like jumping in, even at the risk of drowning. While there I lost my muff, with my purse. I started for a street car, stopped in a store to ask directions, when a man whom I took for a woman, came in ctying bitterly. I tried to comfort her, during which I kissed her several times. Suddenly he took my hand and led me to the street car, when I saw a large drove of cows, one of which (a black and white one) followed me around and around until I mixed up with a lot of children so the cow could not find me. Then 1 awoke. Please interpret this dream for DREAMER, symbolical of the following the peo- merely in truth, is affections, lake means it, thought. Your Inclination signifies that you are fond of the truth. The mistake in regard to the person you saw signifies that the mind has limitations. The cows signify affec- tions on the lower plane. The children, higher affections and desires. This dream thoughts and order: The ple around to leap in THREE DREAMS. To Moyra's Grandson: (1) I have been out of school for six years, and I dream three times (on an average) {n a week of going to school. (2) 1 can- not sing por play any kind of an instrument, but I so often dream of singing very beautifully. (3) I often dream of seeing some one that has been dead for a long time, or see some one dying. Please tell me the meaning of these dreams. Yours truly, DREAMER. Your first dream signifies that your mind is still developing. Your second that your thoughts are usually harmonioue. Your third that your mind is apt to dwell on the future life, and you have an insight of its being a continuation of this one. DON'T FLIRT. To Moyra's Grandson: I dreamed that a lady friend and I went in a hor aml it seemed to me that it was a house that I¥lived in once in Call- fornia. In the room there lay a girl, sound asleep, on a bed, covered up with a white dress, and the lady of the house woke her up, telling her it was time Benny was coming. Then she left us for awhile and when she came back she said that there was a man outside that wanted to know If there was any girl here that would let him kiss her hand as long as he wanted to. I spoke up and sald that be could kiss away till he dropped dead, and when he started to kiss my hand my arm apd my whole body began to swell and the cold sweat rolled off. Then my dream changed; it seemed that someone wanted us to advertise something for the loth, bat the notice came too late on the 12th, and the parties were mad and the No. 13 was rnonning through my mind the rest of the night. Will you please tell me the meaning of this dreani, and oblige, » TTIE. St. Louts. This dream is a warning against indul- gence in flirting. You must be careful of yourself. The heart is not to be trifled with. The girl asleep in white signified yourself in your pristine innocence. Thé swelling and cold sweat indicate that er- rors in love bring suffering. The change in the dream and the worrying about the number 13 means that such errors produce confusion and trouble. eee Pe vee ae aR TE ET SMES G6 ERR EI oe RRR MRE | LETTERS FROM THE ia x POST- DISPATCH porr.

Jt was bright in colors, and bright and sparkling in its news. It contained be- side its news service, spicy editor.als, and special articles by Gov. Stephens and other writers, and messages of peace bys Mrs. U. S. Grant, Mrs. Jefferson Davis, Cardinals Martinelli and Gibbons, Gens. Miles and Wheeler and Admiral Dewey. Neatly Answered. From the Houston (Tex.) Post. In one of his pyrotechnic talks recently in defense of his “branching out’ views, Henry Watterson with more pointedness than reason or basis of fact, exclaimed: ‘We are a Nation of producers, hindered by overproduction.” The St. Louis Post-Dispatch neatly an- swers this favorite but false argument of those who are crying out for expansion because of a production that has outgrown the home market. ° Married Women’s Rights. From the Kansas City Journal. Judge Wood's decision is a triumph of “ceommon sense’ over “common law.” TJ' should be haltled with delight by women everywhere as a recognition of their righte as “‘individual entities.”” This decision should make Missouri popular as a place of residence for married women with mon- ey of their own, BITS OF INFORMATION.

To the Editor of the lost-Dispateh. In answer to a West End bachelor’s idea! wife. I think if there were more ideal men there would be more ideal wives, Giris have to be afraid to marry nowadays. Some young girls have a iittle experience of an ideal man as there aren't enough ideal fathers and mothers to teach thelr children to be ideal wives and husbands, My pare ents have been married for many years, but do not agree, as mother works all day to make things pleasant, but it seems the more she does the more disagreeable father is when he gets home and she does not spend anything for theaters or fine cjothes, wearing her dresses two or three seasons, Perhaps this West End bachelor can sug- gest some way to begin the New Year m a different way. Not until I find an ideal man will I disbelieve in single blessednesa, Pe pia’ BUT EXPERIENCED GIRL. t. Lovis. ‘“‘Hangman’s Day.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I desire to hear from the readers of your paper the'r op-nions as to changing “Hang- man's Day,’ that belng on Friday, the day, under the Jewish calendar, on which Jesus Christ, the Savior and Was executed, Was it intend the Son of God, should be claesed inals and murderers? Or was it that they who were executed might appeal to Christ as did the thief on the croas for recognition and help? It seems to me that enlighten. ed nations and Christians ought not to set apart the day on which the world was redeemed from sin for the purpose of exe- cuting its worst criminals. INQUIRER.

In the battie of Manila when these vessels were sunk their Spanish crews ag- Bregated 631 officers and men, their com- piements being d.stributed as follows: Don Juan de Austria, 28 officers, 179 men; Isla de la Cuba and Isla de Luzon, each $31 offi- cers and 156 men. It is beieved by Admiral Dewey that he can reduce these crews vy nearly one-half without destroying the et- ficiency of the officials for the purpose of cruising and guard duty in the Philippine gZrouyp. The personal resources of the navy will be severely taxed in sending these men to the Pacific just now on account of the statutory limitations onthe number of men allowed in the service.

Several] thousand applications from these short-time men have already been received at the Navy Department, and confidence is expressed that no difficulty will be encount- ered in securing enough good men for the vessels which must necessarily be kept in commiesion if Congress wiil give the requis- ite authority.

The Buffalo is to be coaled at Port Said,.and will not stop again until she reaches Hong Kong early next month. Reports received from Norfolk indicate that the Yosemite, which will follow the Buffalo sailors and 100 marines, will get away within two weeks.

Dr. Neilson, the speciajl agent of the Illinois State Board of Health, has been in attendance on the cases at Biggs- ville for a week.

J. i. secreta | SOCIETY ASURANCE SECRET ORDERS MUST BE EQUAL - LY RESPONSIBLE WITH OLD LINE COMPANIES. CONTRACTS DETERMINE CLASS. Companies Cannot Waive Their Lia- bilities Under the Law by a Clause Excluding Suicide. The decision of the Supreme Court of Missouri in the case of Sophia Toomey against the Supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias; is of far-reaching importance to all fraternal and benevolent societies which issue to their members life insurance poli- cies for a specified sum of money at fixed monthiy or annuel premiums. It decrees their status before the law and places them upon the same plane with “‘old line’’ insurance corporations. Hereafter all such organizations, not- withstanding their benevolent, charitable and fraternal features, must comply with all the laws regulating “old line’’. insurance companies, and no preference will be shown them. The obligations, which they may assume in their policies, will be interpreted strictly. and they may not insert provisions into their contracts, avoiding their liability under certain contingencies which do not involve fraud, In the case before the court Dennis Toomey, the plaintiff’s husband, had taken a policy on his life for $2900 In the defendant society. In the policy there was a provision that the insurance obligation should cease if the insured should dic by him own hand, Toomey committed suicide, and, when bis wife demanded payment of his insurance money, the defendant contended that the suicide clause of the policy avoided the ob- ligation. In the opinion the court gays: “There are three kinds of insurance un- der our law: First. regular; or old line, where, for a fixed premium, payable with- out condition at stated intervals, a sum certain ‘s to be paid upon death without condition; second, insurance companies on the assessment plan, where the assessment is fixed, but the amount to be paid is de- pendent upon the collection of an assess- ment upon persons holding similar con- tracts; and, third, fraternal—beneficial as- sociations where the assessments are fixed by the association and the amount to be paid in case of death Is derived from the proceeds of assessments upon the members of the association. ‘As to the first class, the statutes pro- vide: ‘In all suits upon policies of insur- ance on life hereafter issued by any coro- pany doing business in this State, it shall vr no defense that the insured Committed suicide, unless it shall be shown to th satisfaction of the court or jury trying the cause that the insured contemplated suicide at the time he made his applica- tion for the policy, and any stipulation to the contrary in the policy shall be void.’ This provision applies only to the firs: class, or old line companies. “It is clear the liability of the defendant depends upon the class to which it belongs It had power to insure the lives of mem- bers of the Endowment Rank of the order for a certain sum, upon the payment of fixed monthly premiums, and it exercised that power when it issued the policy sued on. The amount to be paid does not de- pend upon the coijlection of an assessment upon persons holding’. similar contracts; and hence, it is not an assessment com- pany; mor is the amount to be. paid de- rived ‘from the proceeds of assessments upon the members of the association,’ and therefore, it is not a fraternal-beneficial association. The premium to be paid bv the insured its fixed, and the sum to be paid by the defendant to the beneficiary is certain—$2000 flat. “It is immaterial what name-a company may adopt, its liability is determined by the character of its contracts of insurance, and the law then places the company in its proper ¢lase. It is also immaterial that the defendant is also a fraternal benevolent organization as’ to all the members of the endowment rank. anf also as to the other 9) per cent of its members; who are not members of the endowment rank, for that feature of the organization was totally dis- tinct from the endowment rank, as to its methode,-character. sources of revenue, purposes and charities, all of which features might be eliminated and it would remain an insurance company.” The court held that Mrs. Toomey is en- titled to recover the amount of her hus- band’s policy, and that the fact that he committed suicide is not a defense, notwith- standing the provision to the contrary in the policy. The laW regulating old line insurance companies must apply, and the statutes expressly say that suicide clauses are of no avail in old line company policies if it is not established that thé policyholder contemplated suicide when he purchased hig policy. There was no evidence to that ef- fect in the Toomey case. SCHOOLS AND CITIZENSHIP. Prof. Draper’s Address Before the Min- nesota Educators. ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 28.—Put the schools on a business and padago- gical standard, train the children into life, not owt of it, and then the public schools will make much for good citizenship.”’ In this sentence may be summed up the address delivered before the Minnesota Ed- ucational Association by Dr. Andrew 8. Draper, President of the University of I)- linois. Dr. Draper’s subject was “The Public Schools and Citiznship."” On the public school system, he eald, depends to a great extent the security of our citizenship. The best possible qualities are necessary to the State and to secure them the State has arranged this wonderful system of schools and makes education compulsory. The American people are able to govern themselves, and the echools will do their share in making good citizens if the people will support them. The country is not an- archistic, and the great experiment of democratic government is fast nearing the point where it may be eaid to be successful. ‘The country is not afraid of the man on horseback,”’ he said, “or of his more popu- iar and more powerful brother, the man on the bridge of a battleship. The American people need not worry themselves about the stability of the Government. It has a great problem before it just now. the reatest it has ever had, but it does not en- danger its stability.”’, Housewives ide What to buy for home or friends A Gu for will be found in the bargains in to-morrow's (Thursday's) Post- Dispatch. MANY LINCOLN SOUVENIRS. Tjlinois State Historical Library Has Secured Valuable Documents. SPRINGFIELD, IIL, Dec. 2.—The report of the Board of Trustees of the Illinois State Historical] Library, just finished, will show the total number of books, pam- phlets, unbound matter, duplicates, etc., now in the State Historical Library to be 10,091, divided as follow6: Pamphlets, 345; books, 6546. Among the important contents of the re- port are two works compiled by Prof. James, one entitled “‘The Unpublished Laws of the Illinols wovrmesz.” and the other a bibliography of the early newspapers of the State. The library has also recently come into the possession of a number of valuable Lincoln souvenirs, in the way of historica] documents from the vaults of the Sanga- mon County Courthouse. Many of the in- struments are in Lincoln's handwriting, and the collection is considered of inestimable value. The report will ask the Governor to secure for the library more floor, shelf and stor- age-case room, the present quarters being inadequate. CAPT. STEADMAN DEAD.

IN PUBLIC LIFE 43 YEARS. Thirty-One of These Were Spent in Continuous Service in the Upper Branch of Congress. WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—While arrange- ments for the funeral of Justin 8S. Morril! of Vermont, senior member of the United States Senate, have not yet been decided, it ig probable that public service will be held in the Senate chamber. Senator Morrill died at 1:30 o'clock this morning in the 89th year of his age, after an illness of less than a week. With him when the end came were hi: sister-in-law, Miss Louise Swan; his son, James; Mr. Benjamin Durfee, for a long time associated with the Senator in his Finance Committee work at the Capitol, and Col. 8. E. Chamberlain, an intimate friend. Senator Proctor was in the house at the time, as were also several other friends, The Senator never recovered from the un- conscious state into which he lapsed early in the day, and his death was calm and peaceful. The immediate cause of death was pneumonia, which developed from an attack of grip contracted about a week ago. The venerable Senator was confined to his home but seven days. About ten days ago the weather here was cold and foggy, and his physician thinks that exposure to its rigors brought on the dttack of grip. The day before Congress adjourned for the Christmas hol- idays the Senator was unable to leave his residence. ‘he remains of Mrs. Morrill, who died during the present year, are now in a vault at Rock Creek Cemetery, near this city, and it may be that the Senators body will be deposited there pending re- moval to Strafford, Vt., where a mauso- leum is now in course of construction. Justin Smith Morrill was senior’ member of the Senate in point of service and its oldest in age. He had served continuously in the Senate for more than thirty-one years and he was 88 years old on April 14 last. With the single exception of Galusha Grow of the House of Representatives, he was the only man in Congress whose con- gressional career began prior to the be- ginning of the civil war, and he had the honor over Mr. Grow in that his congres- sional service had been continuous, cov- ering, in the Senate and House combined, forty-four years. Mr. Morrill was a native of Vermont. He was first elected a member of the House from that State as a member of the Thirty- fourth Congress, taking his seat at the first assembling of that body after March 4, 1855. He was re-elected to the Thirty-fifth, Thirty-sixth, Thirty-seventh, Thirty-eighth, and Thirty-ninth Congresses, and was, in 1867, elected to the Senate to succeed Luke P. Poland. He had held his seat in the Senate since that day without interruption, having been elected six terms successively. His present term, to which he was chosen in 1896, would not have expired until 1903. Previous to entering Congress, Mr. Mor- rill had been engaged in mercantile and agricultural pursuits and much of hig pub- lic life had been.devoted to the uplifting of interests dependent upon these lines of business. He had receiyed in his youth an academic education and was from his early days a close reader and careful analyst of public questions, It was at the beginning of the war that Mr. Morrill’s practical business training brought him forward as a man of national reputation, He was the author of the Morrill tariff act of 1861, which was the basis of all the tariff lezgis- lation of war times. In 1864 he became chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, the principal committee of the House, and at that critical time of espe- cial importance. After entering the Senate Mr. Morrill con- tinued to give his attention largely to fin- ancial and commercial questions and dur- ing the greater part of his term of service he was identified as a member of the Com- mittee on Finance, which committee deals especially with these subjects. e first became chairman of this com- mittee in 1877, succeeding Senator Sherman when the latter entered the Cabinet of President Hayes, and he held this posi- tion continuously after that date except during the Forty-sixth and Fifty-third Con gresses, when the Democratic party con- trolled the Senate, and during those inter- vals he continued at the head of the Re- publican representation on the committee. In recent years he delegated the greater share of the details of the committee work to the younger members of the committee, but there had been but few times when he was not a regular attendant upon the com- mittee meetings, and many instances are related of his surprising activity in direct- ing the affuirs of the committee up to the last. He had at his fingers’ end a wealth of information concerning the tariff and financial questions, which were always use- ful in the elucidation of problems then un- der consideration. During his long career, Mr. Morrill gave his attention to many question and no man in public life was more given than he to taking up a subject and holding on to it through years and years until consum- mated. He was the real father of the scheme for the construction of a building for the Congressional Library and to him and Senator Voorhees, who early joined him in pressing this question upon Congress, is the splendid library building a monu- ment. ‘ . Very near to his heart aleo was the plan for the erection of a sister building for the Supreme Court. He had been pressing a measure looking to the construction of such a building for many vears and had on ihree different occasions prevailed upon the Senate to pase h's bili for that purpose. His last appearance in the Senate was on the 19th inst., when he made a speech of | | | | | | i ' SENT FREE TO M A Most Remarkable Remedy That Quickly Restores Lost Vigor To Men. 4 FREE TRIAL PACKAGE SENT BY MAIL TO ALL WHO WRITE cS. _ j - THE WORLD RENOWNED SPECIALIST.

He was in the Senate for 29 years. Before that he was for six years a member of the Houee, so his Congressiona! term was longer than that of Benton. His namesake, Rufus King of New York. was in the Senate for nearly 20 years, but not continuously. Henry B. Anthony of Rhode Island served almost as long a term as Mr. Mor- rill. He was in the Senate consecutively 25 years and e6ix months; and if he had served out his last term he would have completed 30 years inthe Senate, Like Mr, Morrill he was elected five times. He was never in the House of Representatives. He died in the service Sept. 2, 1884. KILLED BY FALLING CLAY Christ Goebel Buried Beneath an Ava- lanche of Dirt. Christ Goebel died at his home at 3716 Tainer avenue at 4:20 o'clock Tuesday after- noon from injuries received by being buried under an avalanche of clay a few hours previous, Goebel was a laborer, employed by the Christy Fire Clay Works and at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning he was &at work in the clay pits. He dug too far under an em- bankment and a great bank of the aticky clay fell on him and pinioned ground. Other workmen rescued him and he was sent to his home. A physician was called and it was seen that three of his ribs had ' been crushed in and he was otherwise in- half an hour’s duration in advocacy of the} Supreme Court same time prevailed upon the Senate to pass the bill in the face of some opposi- tion.

He*> was the author of the orig:nal bill giving aid to these colleges from the proceede of the sales of the public lands, and he had never refused them the encouragement of his assisfAance. He op- posed the annexation of the Hawalian Is!l- ands to the last. and he was understood to be averse to the exercise of any sort of American sovereignty over the Philippines.

Yet all this is the result of poor digestion, an insidious form of dyspepsia which can only be cured by a remedy specially intended to CURE it and make the digestive organs act naturally and properly digest the food eaten.

Thousands of People Have Dyspepsia in Its Worst Form and Do Not Know It. A weak stomach is the cause of about nine-tenths of all disease, yet in most cases the wrong thing is treated and the true cause overlooked This is because a weak digestion pro- duces symptoms resembling nearly every disease because it weakens and disturbs the action of every nerve and organ in the body; poor digestion causes heart trouble, kidney troubles, lung weak- ness, and especially nervous breakdown or nervous prostration; the nerves can- not stand the wear and tear unless gen- erously fed by well-digested, wholesome food. Keep the digestion ood and no one need fear the approach of disease. ; Mrs. H. M. Lee of Rocheeter, N. Y., Writes: “For the sake of suffering human- ity I want to say that from a child I had a very weak stomach, threw up my food very often after eating, and after a few years nervous dyspepsia resulted and for more than twenty years I have suffered inexpressibly. “T tried many physicians and advertise? remedies, with only temporary relief, for nervous dvspepsia, and not until I com- menced taking Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets last September, six months ago, have I been free from suffering caused by the condi- tion of my nerves and stomach; in short, chronic nervous dyspepsia. “T have recommended Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets to many of my friends. and now I want in a public way to say they are the safest. pleasantest and, I believe. surest cure for stomach and nerve troubles. I write my honest opinion, and I wil) gladly anewer any letter of inquiry at any time and feel that I am. 'n a small way, delp- ing on a good cause.” Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a pat- ent medicine. but they contain only the fruit salts, digestive ac'ds, and peptones necessary to help the weak etomach to promptly and theroughly dieest food. All druggists sell Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab- lets at 50 cents for full-sized package, and anv one suffering from nervous dyspepsia, sour stomach, headaches, acidity, gases, belching. etc., will find them not only a quick relief, but a radical cure.

Interesting Experience of an Indianap- olis Gentleman. No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured. by nerve medicines and spring remedies. The real seat of the mis- chief is lost sight of. The stomach is the organ to be looked after. Nervous 4 yspe ptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual esymptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in neaftly every organ. In some cases the heart pal- pitates and is irregular; in others the kid- nevs are affected; in others the bowels are constipated, with headaches; still others are troubled with lose of flesh and appe- tite, with accumuiations of gas, sour ris- ings, and heartburn.

Frank Watkins, proprietor of a livery stable at 1124 Pendleton avenue, was sub- jected to a thrilling experience Tuesday morning, the story of which has just been revealed. According to the story related to the po- lice, Joseph Cafferata, a saloonkeeper at 4173 Fairfax avenue, entered the private of- fice of Liveryman Watkins at 10 o'clock Tuesday and pressing a pistol against Watkins’ temple, demanded $2.50. which he claimed was due him ora debt.. Watkins protested that he owed nothing. Cafferata wouldn't have it that way and de- “lared that unless the money was forth- coming he would do murder. “I will go to the safe and get the money,” Watkins finally agreed. “No, you don't go to the safe; if you move an inch, I'll kill you,” said Caffer- ata, it le alleged. Watkins didn't have the money in his pocket, 50 the best he could do was to eall his foreman and instruct him to open the safe and give Cafferata the amount de- manded. When the saloon man got his money, he jumped in his buggy and drove away, Watkins secured a warrant charging rob- bery in the first degree, and after some dffficulty the police found Cafferata and arrested him. Cafferata is 27 years old and well known a8 a saloon man. His plea is that he knew of no other way . eollect the debt which he claims was due im. Frank Watkins was at one time Chief of Detectives of St. Louis. RECKLESS SPARROW HUNTERS. Ruth Rawson Shot in the Face by a Small Boy.

It Is Alleged He Thought to Work Up Patronage by Creating a Sat- urnalia cf Crime. When Private Watchman Frank Hoker of Baden found the good people of that section did not think his vigilance was necessary to prevent robberies, he pro- ceeded to create a demand for his services by numerous burglaries. The plan succeeded admirably, and Ho- ker might still be playing his Jekyll and Hyde role if Charles Fleming of 2319 Robin street hadn't been attacked by the grip. Hoker lives at 3311 North Ninth atreet. He was commissioned a private watchman eight months ago. He started to work up a patronage at Baden. It is a peaceful section, and burglaries were ,unknown there. A few extra-cautious householders employed Hoker to guard their property while they slept, but a much greater num- ber were deaf to his solicitations. Hoker wasn’t making a living. He saw that what Baden needed to’ create a demand for the services of a private watchman was a saturnalia of crime. Hoker at first thought of importing a burglareor two to create the demand for him. He rejected that plan as too extravagant. He might as well be the beneficiary in a double sense of the burglaries. He would do the stealing. profit by the sale of the plunder and secure new patrons at the same time. So he made a red mask and started on his campaign. As one house after another was burglarized, it was noticed the victims were those who were not guarded by Hoker. Badenites are not dense. The people who were protected by Hoker’s vigilance ad- vised those who were not to employ him. As each man followed this advice, it was noticed that his home became burglar- proof. Several times the burglar with the red mask was seen, but his aspect was so ferocious that none dared attack him. Then Mr. Fleming became il] with the He was one who hadn’t employed He had a trusty revolver and de- pended on that. Monday night he was so ill that his wife sat up all night. A fold- ing door separates the bedroom from the | front room. At 2 o’clock in the morning. Mrs. heard the folding doors creak. Looking in that direction, she saw a face peering through the space between the doors. She declares the face was the face of Hoker. She screamed and grabbed the revolver. The burglar fled, and Mrs. Fleming pur- sued. firing the revolver out of the window at him. Officers Cody and Lee heard the shots and ran to the Fleming home. Mrs. Fieming told them Hoker was the burglar. The officers searched for him in vain until Tuesday afternoon, when they found him at his home asleep. He denied all know!l- edge of the robbery, but could not account for a collar and ‘necktie in his hip pocket, or for the red mask found in his possession. He was locked up and a warrant issued againet him Tuesday afternoon. The police hope to connect him with all the rest of Baden’s burglaries. TOWSER IS ALL RIGHT. Report That He Made Friends With Thieves Was Erroneous. Fleming Mr. August Mastebrook of 620 South Fourth street is aggrieved that reflections should have been cast upon the integrity and fidelity of his watchdog, Towser, who was alleged to have made friends with thieves who fed him weiner-wurst and candy and that he permitted them to rob his. master’s store. Mr. Mastebrook has sent a letter to the Post-Dispatch which is peremee with cheer- fulness and alacrity in the hope that it will reinstate Towser in the good opinion of the community. The letter follows: ST. LOUIS, 12—28, 1898.—Mr. City Reporter, Post-Dispatch: You done my dog Towser a great injustice in your last night Paper. First the goods were not Stolen on Christ- mass day but Monday Morning early from the, front of the Store & Towser has no business outside the Store. Second Towser Says he has not made a liance with the ‘“‘Spruce Str. gang’’ or anny order gang, but if they would. give him a chance to Schake hand with them it would be his greates pleasure. Tough Certain gang did try it four times in twelve month to make his friendship. but he would not have it. Third Towser dont and friendship will not be accepted his weight is 125 pounds, 5 feet long and 8% feet high. Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup cuts short children’s whooping cough and croup. 25c.
