LOUIS POST-DISPATCH-J ALL STIL FOR BRYA ILLINOIS STATE OCRATIC COMMITTEE AGAIN PUTS ITSELF ON RECORD. ~~ SALEM MAN IN NATIVE STATE. Hundreds Crowd to Touch His Hand and His Reception Recalls the Meetings of 1896. SPRINGFIELD, Il, Jan, 5.—The hearty indorsement of William J. Bryan by the Democratic State Committee seems to have surprised the opposition. For several months the story has been going the rounds that a determined coalition had been formed to turn down Bryan and Altgeld in lliinois, largely in favor of Carter H. Harrison, the Mayor of Chicago, who, industrious rumor said, was the favorite of Tammany, representative of the Democracy ol the East, and the one man who could bring back to the fold the gold Democrats. Never- theless, Bryan came to Springfield and the Democratic State Committee postponed ac- tion until after developments at the re- ception tendered at Music Hall. The mem- bers of the committee saw the hall packed ‘to its doors: they saw an ovation of the Nebraskan not exceeded in respect and enthusiasm by the notable gatherings of 1896; they heard his argument for sliver and against expansion interrupted by cheer- ing fcr minutes at a time; they saw hun- dreds use force against each other to gain the privilege of touching his hand; they heard one veteran Democratic legislator shout, “I want to shake with the man who got six and one-half million votes and did not steal one of them,”’ and they heard the prolonged huzzas that followed expres- gion of sentiment; then they resolved for Bryan, against expansion, for the Chicago platform in toto, and they resolved with unanimity and enthus-asm. Bryan spoke at Music Hall to all the -building would hold. Hundreds who failed of admission stood about outside and talked Bryan and Bryanism. “ae you will study the science of govern- ment,’ said he. ‘“‘vyou will get a rule, a fun- damental principle, that will enable you to solve all the great public quest.one. It is the old Jeffersonian principle that all men are equal before the law. Every wrong complained of is a wrong because it gives some persons an advantage over others.’’ Then he referred to the campaign of 1896, fn which peuple studied economic questions as they never had stud.ed them before, and the reason the supporters of the Chicago latform are to-day so firm in the faith is hat thev learned what it meant. They liked it and it cannot be taken from them. The gold standard was denounced in much the same terme as in many other addresses by Mr. Bryan, and the point was made that while the Republican press were striving to show what a good thing it was ‘Mr. McKinley had sent a commission to Europe to get away from it and adopt bi- metallism. “During the campaign,” aseerted the ora- tor with great earnestness, “you heard me called many bad names—Soc.alist, Anarch- ist, demagogue, disturber of the peace and the ~ ee f of the chtuntry. Why? Because I declared that, so help me God, no handful of men in London should ever control the financial policy of the United States.’’ Was greeted with a storm of ap- Plause. His declaration for the Chicago platform and the free coinage of s lver and old at the ratio of 16 to 1 was seized upon y the audience for a demonstration that He pointed to strong in its declarations against the trusts, but the people had lost «ght of the fact Guring the intense campaign. Develop- ments of the last two years had borne out the prophesies of the platform and his own Fetatements during the campaign. ut F the subject of annexation he quoted from Jefferson, Blaine and McKinley's %, Message of 1897 at the regular session of Congress, and asserted that he stood just where McKinley stood then. “The party that is willing to oppose a Old standard because it is wrong,’’ he eclared, ‘‘ought to be willing to oppose an English co.onial system because it is wrong. We should strive to apply to the questions before us the doctrine that gov- ernments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. It is as- tonishing that any man living in this age of the world—living in the United States— should uphold the doctrine of securing land oy conquest. In December, 1897, President cKinley sa'd: ‘I speak not of forcible an- 7, 1 lan, becauge that i¢.not to be thought a "wot imgler our code of morality that would be criminal aggression.’ I stand where Me- inley stood, and to*the place to which he must return if the American people support him. “President McKinley said he learned the sentiment of the people on this question during his trip through the West last fa]l. You cannot find out the sentiment of the people on a great question by just going eae the country and gathering it up. If he had asked me, I could have told him how careful he ought to be about estimat- ing the sentiment of the people from the rear of acar. (Great laughter.)

The follow- ing resolution also was adopted: Resolved, That the Democratic State Central Committee of Illinois, in harmony with the pammeetaty of the State. hereby ndorses the pripolp es of the Chicago plat- orm, adopted at the Democratic convention of » and especially its declarations in , Favor of the free and unlimited coinage of h silver and gold at the present estab- ished ratio of 16 to 1, by the independent ng yA IM States, without wait- .fo e or cons nation. ent of any foreign “Resolved, further, That we recogn 4 J.

Bed “Accident.” is lacked up on suspicion of causing the death of Mrs. Lucretia Kent. Mrs. Kent's body wam found last Saturday night at her home in the fashionable residence dis- trict of Springfield. The woman's right hand had been caught between the springs of a folding bed, and there, it was at first supposed, she had been held until she had starved to death. An examination of the body resulted in the finding of marks on the throat to indicate that she had been chocked. Other bruises were also found. It is the theory of the police that Fuchs and the woman quarreled; that the man struck her; that the folding bed was pulled down in the scuffling and pinioned the wo- man’s arm; that in rage Fuchs left the house without releasing her, and that she slowly died from hunger. Fuchs and Mrs, Kent are said to have quarreled frequently. COL. W. H. MABRY DEAD. od He Was One of the Most Popular Vol- : unteer Officers of Texas. HAVANA, Jan. 5.—Col. W. H.

A Bs THURSDAY—ST, LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JANUARY 5, 1899 HE WAS GUILTY, Murderer of Weinand Sen- tenced to Ten Years. CONFESSED TO MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE. @Is FIRST PLEA OF NOT GUILTY WITHDRAWN WHEN THE TRIAL BEGAN. SUDDEN TERMINATION OF A FAMOUS CASE. “Dublin” Roberts to Be Punished by Imprisonment in the Penitentiary —Two Men Were Acquitted of the Crime. The last chapter of a famous murder case was closed Thursday, when William Roberts, alias ‘‘Dublin,”’ was sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years on a plea of guilty of murder in the second degree. This disposition of the case created sur- prise, as it was generally believed that Roberts would stand trial. He had already pleaded not guilty of murder in the first degree and the case was set for trial in Judge Talty’s division of the Criminal Court Thursday. *“Dublin’’ was one of three men accused of murdering Jacob Weinand at Broadway and Bellefontaine road, in December, 1897. Weinand was an old man and lived with bis wife in a frame cottage. On that day Mrs. Weinand visited friends. When she peturned home in the evening she found Rer husband lying dead in the kitchen. His hands and feet were bound and there nowledged his own. connection with th murder. On the first trial of Nolan the jury dis. agreed. A second trial, at which “Dublin” for a third time told his story, resulted tn an acquittal. When “Dublin” was arraigned to answer a charge of-murder in the first degree he plead not guilty. This was against his own wish, but he was advised that his own confession could not be and sufficient additional evidence could not be brought forward to convict him. When the case was called for trial Thure- day morning only three unimportant wit- nesses for the State appeared. Assistant Cireuit Attorney Krone stepped forward and said: “Your Honor, the de- fendant desires to withdraw his plea of not guilty of murderer jin the first degree and enter 4 plea of guilty of murder in the second degree,.”’ “Dublin” was escorted into court. He was well dressed. well groomed and _ looked aggressively healthy. In response to ques- a he stated his desire to withdraw his ea. When Judge Talty fixed his penalty at ten. years in the penitentiary ‘‘Dublin” JAMES MURPHY, (Acquitted of the Weinand Murder Because pers te. 1 Would Not Believe Dublin’s Story. ~-e-_— smiled broadly. He looked supremely henpy as he walked back to the cage. The disposition of the case caused much comment about the Four Courts, from the fact that ‘“‘Dublin,’’ after turning State’s evidence and testifying for the State in two trials, was in the end the only one of the three accuséd punished. Assistant Circuit Attorney Krone was satisfied with the outcome. “Ever since Cromwell's time,” he said, “it has been the custom to extend clemency to prisoners who turn State's evidence. It is a mistaken popular notion, however, to suppose that there is anything in law which calls for their complete deliverance, though that hss .been often done. ‘It is customary to permit the prisoner to withdraw his plea and plead guilty to a lesser degree.

From the start the police believed that robbery was the motive and this opinion Was strengthened by the fact that an impression had long prevailed that old man Weinand was wealthy and had a large amount of money concealed in his isolated little cottage. The arrest of Willlam Roberts, alias “Dublin,” Willlam J. Nolan and James "Murphy followed on Christmas day, 1897, @s the result of work by Detective Sam ‘Allender.

Mrs. Carrie T. Alexander of Belleville, Department President of the Woman's Re- lief Corps, has been appealed to by the Mill Shoals Corps to use her influence to- f ward procuring a pardon for William New- by, who was sent to the penitentiary for an alleged attempt to obtain a pension fraudulently.

GRIPE Is Now Raging in Ail Parts of the United States, Striking Down Its Victims Every- where. HIGH AND LOW, RICH AND POOR, GREAT AND SMALL, ARE FALLING ONE BY ONE. fatal disease. Its ravages are not so alarming as diphtheria, or so much dreaded as smallpox, but ite number of vic- tims is greater than either. Silently—insidiously—it gathers ‘n its fear- ful harvest of precious lives. It does not spread from man to man like a contagious disease, nor does it belong to lim'ted local- ities like malaria. It is in the air every- where. It is of climatic origin. No man can escape from it, no woman Is safe fromm it. La grippe is epidemic catarrh. La grippe is acute catarrh excited by peculiar climat- ic conditions. It sweeps across a continent in a single week, like the blizzard of winter or the hot wave of summer. It does not de- populate whole villages like the black plague, nor desolate a home like malignant diphtheria, but it counts its single victims here and there incessantly, night and day, week after week. La gr‘ppe is acute.epidemiec catarrh. Our climate at all times, especially in the win- ter, excites numerous cases of acute ca- tarrh. Just now the climatic conditions are such that very few escape. It is called by the French name, la grippe, but in plain English it is catarrh—acute catarrh. The last two weeks manv hundrede have dicd of it. In the coming four weeks many thou- sands more.wi!l die. Unlike the hot wave, we cannot flee from la grippe by going to the mountains. Unlike the winter blizzard, we cannot escape la grippe by going to Southern climes. As to the nature of la grippe authorities differ. Even now the New York Board of Health .is declaring it to be a contagious disease, while other men of equal authority do not regard it as such. And what is worse yet, doctors do not agree as to the remedies for la grippe. No school of medicine or set of doctors have reached wny definite con- clusion as to what remedy or remedies will either cure or prevent la grippe. One doc- tor says this and another savs that, and in the meantime the people are dying all around us. The Greatest Scourge of the Century is Feared, La grippe has always been a peculiarly | through four or five epidemics of la grippe. During all this time he has conducted an extensive practice of medicine. Few (if any) physicians preseribe for so many patients. His experience in climatic diseases has been simply prodigious. Thousands of patients are continually under his directions, either personally or by correspondence. The Doc- tor’s fame in treating la grippe is known from the Atlantic —— Lacific. The Doctor believes that he has fiever yet lost a case of la grippe, and is enthusiastic in the convic- tion that he never will. The remedy upon which the Doctor has rel‘ed for the cure of la grippe for over forty years is Pe-ru-na. Pe-ru-na is a sci- entific catarrh specific. It cures catarrh whether acute, or chronic. La grippe is simply acute catarrh, which sometimes rages as an ep'demic. Almost everybody knows that Pe-ru-na will cure acute ca- tarrh. But not manv know that la grippe is simply acute catarrh. If they d':d they would use Pe-ru-na with the same surety of a cure as in any other case of acute Ca- tarrh. But the people are quick to learn. Already the news is spreading rapidly that Pe-ru-na is a prompt and unfa‘ling remedy for la grippe. The demand for Pe-ru-na_ North, South, East and West is taxing the utmost facilities of the drug trade. The present epidemic of la grippe will increase th‘s de- mand four-fo'd. The resources for the man- ufacture of Pe-ru-na are not unlimited. This extraordinary demand may exceed the possible supply of it. Every person, especially every fam‘ly, should provide themeelves at once with a supply of this well-tested remedy for la grippe. Fe-ru-na has been the regular prescription of Dr. Hartman for over foritv vyeare. It has become the safeguad of thou- sands of households. In the midst of this epidemic no one should fail to take a dose of Pe-ru-na before each meal to guard against the possibility of an attack. Those stricken with the disease should begin with teaspoonful doses of Pe-ru-na every hour, and continue until the acute symptome sub- side, after which two teaspoonfuls before meals and between meals will be sufficient to continue the treatment until camplete recovery. . eS a Since 180 Dr. Hartman has passed HE OWED RANDALL —_— JANITOR BEVERLY LET THE FIRES GO OUT AT THE FOUR COURTS BUILDING. WAS HIS SECOND OFFENSE. Building Commissioner Admits Loaned Money to Beverly, but Says, He Has Censured Him. There wae no ‘heat in the Four Courts Building Tuesday night. The prisoners and the officials almost froze. The fires went out completely. Thomas Beverly, colored, is the night fireman. It is his duty to keep the fires: up. Beverly left the building at 8 o'clock in the evening. On one of the coldest nights of the pre- vious cold spell ‘the did the same thing and there was real suffering on the part of the building’s occupants. A report of the facts was made to Jailer Huebler. He said he was powerless to do anything with Beverly. Thomas Beverly was appointed to the po- sition by J. Harry Randall, Commissioner of Public Buildings. Thomas ~~ owes J. Harry Randall money. This is admitted by the latter. If Randall discharges Bev- erly, Randall will not get his money. Beverly has been insubordinate in other ways. He does as he pleases. Beverly was formerly a janitor at the old City Hall. At one time he told a story, which was published, about alleged usurious practices of Randall with his colored appointees. Subsequently the was discharged for a certain cause, About the ist of kst November Build- ing Commissioner Randall sent to Presi- dent McMath of the Board of Public Im- provements the appointment of Beverly as night fireman at the Four Courts. In view of the cause for which Beverly had been discharged as janitor, Président Mc- Muth did not consider his appointment as night fireman a fit one. He sent it back indorsed, ‘“‘not approved.”’ Mr. Randall hastened to Mr. McMath’s office. He made a moving plea. “Beverly owes me some money,” he said. “T want to appoint him to a job down Eee, 60 that I can get my money out of 1. The argument did not change the Presi- dent's view of the unfitness of Mr. Beverly. He declined, as he did more recently in the case of Alfred Smith, to become Mr. Ran- all’s assistant collector. ; Randall went away and the late Adam Ziegenhein was the next caller. He said he would like to have Beverly appointed. Then Beverly came in thhimself. He de- clared an injustice had been done him in discharging him as janitor and pleaded for a chance to redeem ‘thimself. President McMath finally approved the appointment. ‘I appointed Beverly,” said Randall Thurs- day,’ at the request of Adam Ziegenhein. He was not appointed because he owed me —— money. Yes, it !s trne he owed me. He owed me about $75. He owes me less now. He paid me part of it. But I did not ap- point him on that acegquni. ‘‘Most.of the money [had loaned to him. I stood good for him om two notes, one for $20 and one for $9. . 3 “I had him up heré.this morning about the builaing being cold2Tuesday. He had a good excuse.

I. would fire him as quick as anybody else. I hevVer expect to get my money back from him,Rny way.”’ ‘“‘How much interest did you charge him on the loans?’’ “Not a cent. And I didn’t charge him a cent before, over at the old hall, either. That story of his -was a lie.’”’ - ELECTRIC LIGHT BANQUET. Old and New Incorporators Will Be Toasted Thursday Night.

Tipton thas no saloon to keep open, but the evidence was that he had at one time in his career teld the Lebanon saloon- keepers that he would not prosecute them any more for keeping open on Sunday, and although it was shown that Tipton’s object was to give the Lebanon city administra- tion a chance to vindicate its promises to keep the saloons closed, the magistrate adopted the contention of the prosecution hat Tipton’s announcement was in the na- ure of an incitement to vioiate the law, ‘and found him guilty of complicity before the fact.

As a matter of fact, pro- ducers, loaded for many months to come, are keeping within a narrew circle of regu- lar cusiomers, and are inclined to discour- age anything which must foster specula- tion. How heavily the steel works are en- gaged is indicated by the fact that one lafge concern has 1,000,000 tons of orders on {tg books, while similar figures relatively are reported from other works. One factor is now coming to the surface, and that is that the railroads, with the heavy tonnage offerings, are withdrawing the special freight rates on iron and iron products, thus enhancing the delivered prices. In the cruder materials the markets are relatively quiet at stationary prices. This ig notably the case with Bessemer pig iron and with steel billets and wire rods. In finished material, however, in which values have been lagging behind, the first impulse is coming. The Beam Association has advanced prices for beams $2 per ton, and other forms of structural iron are also up. Bars are advancing, the large demand continuing. Our Chicago correspondent notes the sale of one biock of 10,00 tons to an- agricultural implement maker. Plates are stiffer and business is only restricted by the inability to make deliveries. Chicago notes a sale of 60,0W tons, delivery at tne seller's option. In the rail trade the Western mills have raised prices $2 per ton, which seems to have ciinched a number of outstanding options. The Pennsylvania Railroad is re- ol to have placed its order for 105,000 ae. distributed among the mills on the nes. ; A meeting of cotton States tie manufac- turers is now being held in Pittsburg to reach some arraligement by which the pevese fight in Southern markets may be ought to a close. In apite of the advancing tendency export orders continued to be placed and a good deal of tonnage igs being offered. A number of manufacturers express their determina- tion to make sacrifices to hold the trade which they regard as very valuable. It will be revalled that some time ago the German Merchant Pine Comb-nation. tight and powerful organization, dropped . prices in order to freeze out the American works, which were invading the market. It is interesting to note, in view of th‘s effort, that the National Tube Works Co. of McKeesport, Pa., have just sold 400,000 feet of pipe for deliverv in Germany. Beyond the facts already given in con- mection with the wire consolldat:on, little that is new has transpired. The American Steel and Wire Co. has practical control of the iron barb wire trade, the Pittsburg Wire Co., the rod and wire plant of the Shenango Steel Co. and of the Cleveland Rolling Mill Co.. Negotiations are still progressing with the Oliver interests at Pittsburg and with ‘the Washburn & Moen Manufacturng (Co, We understand that the capital stock of the ; anany a Steeland Wire Co:, now $24,060,000, 5 ¥ divided between common and pre- afar ke ‘se to be increased to close on to $10,000,000, wlso equally divi’ed between common and preferred, Ff has it that megotiations are proceeding for a steel plant in Centra! Ohio. The American Tin Plate Co. has not yet announced its selling policy, but an early settlement is looked forward to. It is stat- ed that no comprehens ve arrangements as to the supply of tin plate for the whole re. quirements have been made, although cer- tain sections are taken care of. Report has it that negotiations are proceed'ng with one steel plant, and that the erection of new eteel works is under consideration as an. al- ternative. The success of the recent consolidat’ons is reviving many o!d efforts in that direc- tlon, and it ig: responsible: for the appear- ‘ance of new schemes, one of which is the concentration of a group of blast furnaces, The latter propect has nothing to do with the movement by a syndicate to acquire Panrre V' port fal 7 “Yes, sir.

Then of an even- ng—’’ “But, good gracious!’ cried Jones, ‘‘you don’t mean to tell me that the laborers at- tend those lectures?’ “That they does,"’ said Mr. Giles. ‘They be that daft on ‘culture,’ and “eddication’ and suchlike nowadays. Or, even if they hatn’t fools themselves, for one thing there’s the county council bribing them handsome (out ofjthe rates) to come, and then there's their women folk egging of them on. You've brought a cook, gir, J hope?’ he broke off. “A cook?” said Jones, with dismay, “No; why, I thought that Mrs. Giles—’’ “Farming hain’t no account nowadays,” She spends her time a-reading Browning, and the gals are learning painting and the violin. As for food—well, in the old days as you knows, sir, we got what we coul eat. Now we eat what we can get—and be thankful, or otherwise, according to our dij- gestions.”’ “And is your old father alive? And what does he think of this system” “Father,” said Mr. Giles, smiling for the first time, ‘‘is a sight for to see—let alone to hear, There’s a new course of lectures on Wordéeworth, for ‘Infants and Senile Aduits,’ and parson’s wife, she came along and dragged off father to the school for it, And the language the old gennelman used about ‘lectures!’ Well, you should have heard it, sir.’’ “But what becomes of the farm, Giles?’’ “Farming bain’t no account nowadays,” said Mr. Giles decisively. ‘‘Missus finds that American flour very good, and our butter comes from Norway. We does a little our- selves, of course, so long as it don't jnter- fere with lectures. And—'scuse me, Mr. Jones, but I’m due at one now—'tis on ‘Ruskin and Ideal Art’—and my missus, well, she just makes me go. Make your- self at home, sir. There’s some bread and cheese, and we'll be back about 9.”’ But on his return he found that Jones had taken the 8:50 express for London. REMARKABLE PROPHECY.

Thou shall rule and destroy and thy work shall be an emblem of thy house and shail teach mankind. Thy ancient tower, a woman’s dower, in which a King wags nursed, shall be a ruin, and thy wife sacrificed. Three children shall be born and grown that shall never‘see the light. Horses shall be stabled in thy hall and a weaver throw a shuttle in thy chamber of state. Thy. castle shall be a ruin and a peaecon until-an ash saplin shall spring from the topmost stone.

From the Detroit Free Press. “It would have been all right if the other fellow had stayed away,”’ complained the young fellow to his friend, ‘‘You could have knocked me down with a feather when I called upon her the other evening and squad that other fellow there as big as ife. “IT at once made up my mind to simply ignore him and not jet him know gy word or sign that I was aware that he was with- in 40 miles of the place. Would you be- lieve it, he had the nerve to play at the same game, while the girl simply laughed at both of us. “He was a stayer, too. I made up my mind that I wouldn't leave before he did, and it was evident that he was waiting for me to go. When the clock struck 12, and the girl sighed and yawned, we fixed up a truce with our eyes and left together. “T was mad clean through when I called tH@ next evening to find that fellow there ahead of me. We went through the same performance and departed at midnight. “We kept that thing up for two weeks and the girl commenced to loze weight for want of geep. “Last Saturday night I reported there as usual], and I hadn't been in the room more than five minutes when I discovered a sign hanging on the wall right before me.

Gov. Stephens has challenged the proof of Virgil Conkling’s charges by denouncing themas lies. He says he is not owned -tailroads and that he did contribute to the party's campaign fund. “But in answering the charges the Governor made several statements that require explanation. Remarking that he had given away in the campaign about $3000 the Governor adds, “Itis true that Mr. Higgins and Mr. Dick Speed, who are my appuintees, heiped me in the contributions, but that I did not contribute personally is false.’ How did Mr. Higgins and Mr. Dick Speed help the Governor in his contributions? Did they turn over to him sums of money to be used in his name as he thought best? The Governor ‘seems to intimate that because Speed and Higgins were his @Pbdintees he had’ 2' right»te-their purses.

That he is disappointed in the result of the American in- tervention in behalf of his countrymen is clear.- He hoped for the immediate establishment of a free Cuban Republic which should tuke its place among the nations. of the earth. Instead he sees the affairs of his people are managed by a for- eign government whose proceedings seem to be unnecessarily arbitrary. It is not strange that he should feel depressed. But it is inconceivable that the American people will permit their gov- ernment to stuitify itself by refusing to fulfill its pledge given at the outbreak of the war. © General Gomez has not lived in vain. His dreanr will be realized. And the Republic of Cuba will come into being, the fruit of a self-sacrificing devotion which places him and his colleagues among the historic patriots of the world.

Poor- houses 142 children under 15 years of age, and points out that the surroundings in such places ‘‘are inimical to the moral development of these children” and such as to turn them into tramps or worse. Here is a good field of labor for humane citizens of the State. These children do not deserve their hard fate. They should be rescued arid given an opportunity of becoming self-respecting members of the community. = = = a me NEGLECT OF THE UNFORTUNATE. In its report on the Poorhouseg the State Board of Chari- ties makes a powerful’appeal for better treatment of the inno- ent unfortunates who are forced to become inmates of these inatitutions. : The board says truly that poorhouses properly come under the head of charity, but as now conducted might well be called penal institutions. “The penalty for being poor and afflicted is executed witn neglect, amounting to severity. The poorhouse Was originally designed to be a home for unfortunate tax- payers. The prison idea was never contemplated.” Several instances of horrible conditions are given by the board. “In one poorhouse an intelligent young lady who had geen Leiter days was found in a room with a poor, driveling idiot. Just acrdss the hali could be heard the wild shrieks of the insane.’ ‘ . ‘Other examples are given where maniacs were found in likely “to be unreasonable They will no doubt if they accept while of free- THURSDAY—ST.

That a bill for the reorganization and increase of the St. Louis police force will be introduced in the State Legislature this secsion may be regarded as settled. A strong delegation of police officials, headed by Vice-President Hawes, is now in Jefferson City to push the reorganization plan. It is understood that the bill will provide for the increase of the force in accordance with the plans of the present police ad- ministration and for sufficient appropriations from the: city’s revenues to support the increased force. The present situation of the Police Department is about as bad as it can be. The force is inadequate for the city’s re- quirements. The majority of-the Police Commissioners being Democrats holding commissions from the Governor. and the majority of the Municipal Assembly being Republicans in subjection to the Republican machine, it is impossible to get the two bodies together for the betterment of the force. The Municipal Assembly refuses to sanction the increase of the force without compensation in the form of police appointments. It has reduced the department to appropriations so meager that the present inadequate force must be laid off' a month to make both ends meet. This condition reduces the police situation to an intolerable absurdity. In the organic law of the city the Police Depart- ment is made a State institution. The police power resides in the State government and all the machinery for the sup- pression of crime is controlled by State officers. It ‘seems ab- surd to invest a State Board with the control of the police but nake it dependent upon the: city legislature for support. It is helpless iu the hands of a body which may be inimical to the police management, and which by cutting off supplies can render the Board unable to exercise its police power or main- tain a eufficient force of patrolmen. But if the State Legislature steps in and taking the whole matter into its hands provides for the increase of the force and the pay of the men it should at the same time give the people of the city assurance of the honesty of its purpose. It should so frame the law that existing partisan abuses shall be cut off and the force shall be safeguarded from future abuses. Two provisions to protect the force from partisan abuses an? assure its management for police purposes alone should be inserted in the bill. The Board should be bi-partisan and the appointment and promotion of patrolmen placed absolutely on a merit basis. Public policy and common decency demand that if the State Legislature take the control of the police wholly out of the hands of the city it shall guarantee its management for public objects alone and the security of the police fiower from parti- san abuse. v4 ~ Cuttings through which railways run or cliffs at the side of tracks ought to be blasted gx.dug down to a slope that would remder landslides pracWéally Rhpessible; “Some territile catas- trophe will be the result of neglecting this precaution. -@ 0:00..."

Look out for the locomotive Whether the bell rings or not. Boston's spectacles, when she looks at her new railway station enlarge the scenery too much. She should have her eyes tested again. The whole monkey creation must feel more or less humiliated over the conduct of the baboon that got drunk in Omaha the other night. There are portraits of Lincoln and Grant on the new silver cer- tificates, and no doubt Judge Day is wondering why the portrait of Mr. McKinley has been left off. Senator Cullom did not look so much like Lincoln when he sprawled on an icy Pavement the other day. There is no Sena- torial courtesy in a slippery pavement. Boston real estate has been very dull for a year past. If the Hub, with all its intellectual attractions, cannot make ground valuable, what hope can other cities have? As each of four of our Justices of the United States Supreme Court tips the scales at more than 225 pounds, full weight must be given the decisions of that lofty tribunal. Some of the Cubans appear to think that they have exchanged the Spanish heel for the Ameriéan heel, and our own anti-expan- sionists are sure that Uncle Samuel is “putting his foot in it.” = ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

He was to ride away, never to return, and his horse was to return riderless. I was sorry, but we were both in good spirits and didn’t seem to care much. I was almost falling from my horse, but finally that danger was over and I was again riding easily. Please give the meaning of this. ADELAIDE KELLEY.

I called for help, but all of no avail. I thought these two men took me with them, and ip about two minutes a lady friend came to my rescue and took me with her. I thought I was very sick, and I thought she tried to choke me to death, and at iast I asked for a drink. While she was getting it I ran upstairs and locked myself in a room and never saw her again.

She took me to some house I! had sometimes seen before, but it seemed changed, and there she told me to wait for her returning, as she intended to visit some friend of hers. While standing in the stairway I noticed a large basin, which seemed to stand on a high table among fine plants and flowers. I walked closer, because I thought the basin contained gold fish, but as I looked I saw a very large, but beautiful snake. which opened its mouth very dangerously. I stepped back frightened. Now the reptile came | out altogether, springing towards me, and I hit at rt. Interpreted by Moura’s Grandson. it with a little toy whip I had in my hand.

' To Moyra’s Grandson: I am a great believer mn dreams and am anxious to know about this one, as I hope it will come to pass in full. I dreamed that I was at a picnic In the country within one mile of where I was born. I was very happy and enjoying myself hugely when some gen- tleman friend stepped up to me and said: Johu. your wife is prettier than she was the day you married her, and does not look a day older. : then looked around and saw a young-looking lady standing by my side. Sbe is a young lady that I have dearly loved for two years (been engaged since). and I still love her and always will, and it I don’t get ber some day I will be badly fooled; but back to my dream. I saw her etanding near me: also four beautiful, well-dressed children, that were the Image of the lady (my wife). I also thonght that the gentleman friend said that the children were pretty and nice. The two girls, aged 4 and 12 years, favored their mother, and the two boys (my boys), aged 8 and 10 years, favored me. We were all very bappy. I bave studied a great deal about the dream and cannot understand it, but am anxious to do so, and ho you will tell me as I hope to see the dream fuititled some day. am 27 years old and 1 girl 23. Yours truly, LAWYER. Humboldt. Tenn. The dream is a warning to you that time is passing and that if you really desire the picture to become material, you should strive to make it so. FINDING EGGS. To Moyra’s Grandson: Please explain this dream for me. Last night I dreamt I fonnd four or five nests of chicken eggs, near my home. There were so many eggs in the nests that I filled my apron with them, and left almost as many behind as | took with me. I bronght them home, and gave them to my mother. The house seemed to be filled with company when I returned, and ae I awake. Finding eggs signifies that your mind is expanding. New thoughts and ideas are coming to you daily. AN OVERTURNING OF OLD IDEAS. To Moyra’s Grandson: Last evening I dreamt that all the folks were home and as we leoked out of the windows we could see long pillars of light- ning rolling in the sky, and 1 thought my father bad something to do with it, but what it was I could not determine, but all of a sudden the house swayed to one side and fell with a crash, and just as it fell I juinped in the air to avoid the jar. I got up and was not hurt and all the rest of the family were unhurt also, but the house was in ruins. If possible, kindly interpret this for me, and oblige. W. H. EPNIERT. St. Louls.

THE GREAT EXPLAINER. Further Remarks of the State Press on Ex-Gov. Stone’s Political Acrobatics. An Agile Political Acrobat. From the Hermitage (Mo.) Index-Gazette. Ex-Gov. Stone turned a double summer- sault and landed squarely in the anti-expan- sion ranks. But bis feat was premature. Bryan has declared in favor of ratifying the treaty with Spain, and now it behooves the Governor to again get in line with the expansionists. He will doubtless be equal to the occasion. as he is an exceedingly agile political acrobat. Kept Busy Denying. From the Quincy (ll.) Herald. Gov. Stone is kept busy denying that he has held a conference with Croker and Carter Harrison over the possible future policy of the Democratic party. He de- clares that he has never even seen Croker in his life and that no conference was dreamt of. No one should doubt the Gov- ernor’s word, for he is the soul of honor. Waning Influence. From the Benton Newsboy. Within a year from now ex-Governor William J. Stone will have as little in- fluence in party affairs as has ex-Gov- ernor Francis. A Howling Success. From the Slater (Mo.) Index-Gazette. I=x-Gov. Stone is éndeavoring to explain i's position on expansion. His radical ut- terances on this question at the Springfieid convention last summer do not harmonize with the ultra anti-expansion views of Senator Vest, Congressmen Balley and Bland and other Popocratic statesmen, but the ex-Governor is now trying to convince the people that he is not an expanelonist. He was only talking for political effect at the Democratic State Convention. As @ political juggler W. J. Stone is a howling success. That Pairing Scheme. From the Calumet Banner. Ex-Gov. Stone has accepted an invitation to deliver an address at the “Pikers at Home’”’ banquet. We hope he will take oc- casion to explain what he got for “pair-; Ing’ with Hanna, for jamming war issues up against Bryan, and for turning down Bland at Springfield. Somebody Must Jump. From Jule Coe’s Weekly, Warrensburg, Mo, Gov. Stone is just now subject to a cross fire. He is responsible for the expansion| plank in the State platform. Vest and, Cockrell don’t see it as Stone does. Some-; body’s got to jump. His Own Medicine. From the Wellsville Dispatch. Billie J. Stone, who sat down on Bland, should be given a large dose of his own medicine, : Not So Much of an Expansionist. — From the Slater (Mo.) Rustler. Willlam J. Stone of Missouri don’t seem to ba as much of dn expansionist as he Doesn’t Know It. From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald. Icx-Gov. Stone expects to find himself before 1900, but. just now he does not know “where he js at.’ . The eye of grey, Wise persons say, Controls and shapes the world’s desire.

Since time began The brainy mar Was he with eye the hue of ashes, Whose brilliance lit The world with wit, And charmed the million by its flashes. And women, too!

I read the article in the Suhday Poste Dispatch about Tell City with great in- terest. Every such article published tends to help the race forward. But the writer of the article is very much too optimistic in saying that Tell City is an example on a small scale of the co-operative commonwealth. On the con- trary. it is an example of co-operation in the crudest form. It contains in itself the seeds of dissolu- tion, by allowing members to hold as many shares of stock as they can grab. An ace quisitive person could, by persevering, get hold of all the stock in a given concern, or all of them, and then abol.sh the profit sharing feature. The modern co-operative colonies, Ruskin, Equality, Brotherhood, etc., allow no meme ber to hold more than one share of stovk. The rule is, one man, one share, one vote, And the stock is not transferable. If @ shareholder wants to get out he can onl sell to the association. Hence the sgtoc cormorant has no chance. CO-OP. St. Louls. Seats in Street Cars. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I desire to call the attention of your readers to a rule, which in my judgment, should be adopted by the street railway companies, Sasneisti That no seats shoal be turned facing the front of the car. There are a number of selfish people, Usually women, who, when there are three In the arty turn one seat facing the one behind ft Now there are many people, myself among the number, in. whom it causes nausea to ride backwards, but when they get on a car and the only Vacant seat is backwerds they must either stand or be sick. Not only that. if they take the seat the three aforesaid females glare at her. or him, as though she or he Were intruding, which makes it doubly uncom- fortable.

CHARGED WITH FRAUD. Decatur Street Railway Man Indicted in the Federal Court. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Jan. 5.—C. N._ Wil- coxon, Superintendent of the Decatur Street Railway, is charged by the United States grand jury with making false representa- tions througn the mails to secure his posi- tion. IIe was formerly superintendent of the Muncie (Ind.) lines. W. L,. Ferguson of Decatur conveyed the information that led to the finding of the indictment. It was he who was induced hy the representations said to have been made by Wilcoxon to give up his position as su- perintendent of the Decatur Street Rail- way Company, thinking that he had a better position with a company known as the Richmond-Eaton Traction Company of Richmond, Ind. When Ferguson went to Richmond he found that no such company existed. Wilcoxon had previously resigned from the Muncie Street Ra.lway Company, and when he heard that Ferguson had gone to Richmond he went to Decatur and got sition. gk ie reported the matter to the pos. tal authorities, and since last June. they have been working on the case. The let- ters written to Ferguson were signed by C. A. Case, resident of the fake company. Postoffiice Inspector O'’Laughliin several days ago got track of Wilcoxon, and the indictment followed. Several stenographers from Muncie and Richmond testified before the pene jury that hey had written let- ters for a man named Case to Ferguson. Another Mattias Trail Struck.

He was sent to the City Hospital Thurs- day morning, where he lies in a serious cendition. Hartmann is 69 years old and, the city physicians believe, dementetd. He has @ wife and five children at his home. For fear these would attempt to stay his hand, the old man left the house after supper Wednesday evening. He boarded a South- ern Electric car and rodemmouth. He left the car when it reached the top of the hill beyond River des Peres, and entered the wooded tract that stretches from_ the tracks toward the Mississippi river. In his pocket was his freshly whetted razor. Before using it he decided to take a nap, and says he believed he slept several hours before. bcing ‘awakened by the cold. The care had stopped running he says and no one was in sight. He sat on the ground, and propped him- self comfortably against. a tree, then ssed the keen blade across his throat. he incision, varying in depth, reaches nearly from ear to ear. It is deepest near the windpipe, which is believed to be unin- jured. Hartmann remembers the gush of blood, @nd says he lost consciousness then. The sharp morning air partially revived him, and the loud clanging of the car gongs did the rest. He knew he had been unsuccess- ful and decided that he would go home. Pulling a black muffler up over the gap- ing wound he scrambled down the embank- »ment and hailed a northbound car. Conductor August Schultz of 4041 South Broadway noticed the old man’s weakened condition, but gave it. no thought until Hartmann carelessly shifted his position, disarranging the black scarf. One end of the long cut was thus exposed. Schultz said nothing, but kept a sharp eye out for a policeman. Patrolman Ward was pissing along Jefferson avenue on his way to the Second District Station. Schultz hailed him and he took charge of Hartmann. e old man offered no resist- ance, but stared vacantly at the officer and mumbled to himself in German. An ambulance was called and the old ‘man sent to the City Dispensary, where Dr. Kearney gave the attention most needed. " There Hartmann said he wanted to die be- c the world conspired to cheat him out of a living. He said every contract he bid for was taken from him because somebody. found out his figures and told them to the other bidders. e counted 10 good contracts which. he says he lost in that way. He has a ful] white peard and speaks no English. He was forwarded to the City Hospital by Dr. Kearney, where an investigation will be made as to his sanity. MARRIED HIS FIRST COUPLE.

I only married the young Illinois couple because they did not think they could find the office of a Justice. Be- sides, I have only been an the bench two days, and I naturally wished to exercise my prerogative of performing wedding cere- monies, just to learn the sensation. I also wanted a little practice, as I romised to marry some of my clerks, and do not want to fail on state occasions. Did I get through without any trouble?

FLOUR— At least 10 society women have remarked during the past week that ‘‘we are becom- ing quite too cosmopolitan, don’t you know.” So ‘‘we’’ must be reaching a New York City level. Ten consecutive women have noted our rise and all because we have two new diversions—the ice rink and the Boston riding school, The new skating rink on Cook and Chan- ning avenues opened its doors at 7 o'clock Wednesday night to almost four thousand people. The entrance on Cook avenue leads into a broad lobby, on the left side of which is the ticket office. The lobby opens with huge doors into the brilliantly lighted rink, which covers a space of 25,000 square feet. A wide gallery filled with seats ex- tends around the second story of the en- tire rink, and below this are tiers of seats for the lookers-on. In the middle of the south gallery the orchestra is stationed, and right here it may be stated that the band Plays what the little boys call hickey dandy music.’’ The restaurant is in the northeast end of the building and the bar in the southeast end. lhe gallery is festooned with gay colored flags of all nations, and evergreens. All of the attendants and instructors wear white woolen sweaters, black knickerbockers and white caps. ana when the rink is filled with spectators and skaters the scene is dazzlingly beautiful. Last night the Swedish champion, John Sondblom, gave an exhibition of fancy and figure skating that evoked storms of ap- Piause frcm the mass of spectators and created pangs of envy and admiration in the breast of every small boy present. Sondblom wore the national Swedish cos- tume—all in black, with tightly-fitting “Knickers,’’ short, fur-trimmed jacket, tas- 6eled cap and high, fur-trimmed boots. announced the Am- Or- Says That Stock Certificates dered Turned Back Cannot So Far Be Secured.

Virgil P. Kline of Cleveland, attorney for the oil company, was forced to make some very positive statements and admissions. He declared, in the first place, in response to interrogato- ries of the court, that t)je company will not under the former order of the court pro- duce any books other than those already given in evidence. In the second place he admitted that there are still outstanding about $27,000,000 worth of trust certificates of the Sandard Oil ‘Trust, which the court ordered dissolved in 1892, but which the President of the Standard Oil Co. ‘thas all along been trying to get in and is still try- ing.”’ The court hear the arguments of both sides, but took no action. Attorney General. Monnett and Attorney E. b. Kinkead appeared before the Attor- ney General's Department, and Virgil P. Kiine of Cleveland, Lawrence T. Neal of Columbus ond S. B.

Mrs. Schroeder Discharged Because Her Husband Couldn’t Testify. ae * Mrs. Nattie Schroeder, who was arraigned before the Court of Criminal Correction on a charge of grand larceny, was discharged by Judge Clark. The defendant’s husband. who was fhe chief witness for the prosecution, could not testify against her, the law holding that married persons can not testify against each other in criminal actions. Mrs. Schroeder's discharge closes an incident of a peculiar nature, William Schroeder of 1755 South Bigh- teenth street appeared before Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson and asked fora warrant for grand larceny against his wife. He claimed that on November 21 she dis- appeared from his home and took with her promissory notes secured by deede of trust and other papers tto the value of $27,\00, These notes were the property of Crescen- cia Kaercher. The warrant was tssued and Sheriff Troll served vhe papers on Mrs. Schroeder,whom he located at Washington, Mo. She was sick and promised to give herself up soon as possibie. The Sheriff allowed her parole and returned to the ebty. In a few days Mrs. Sehroeder came in and gave herself up. She was held on an _ $800 bond. In the hearing before Judge Clark it de- veloped that the proof for the existence of the papers and of their being stolen de- pended on Scihraeeder’s, testimony and tig he couldn't testify the case had to be dis- missed. As far as is known Mrs. Schoeder is still in possession of the $27,000 papers and there seems to be no way of forctng her to give them up.

Bechtold Was for Twenty Years a Po- liceman, but Is Now on the Re- tired List, With a Pension. —_—= Mrs. Sarah Bechtold of 4241 Garfield ave- nue, applied Thursday for a warrant against her husband, Henry Bechtold, a rtired policeman. She charged that Bech- told abused and threatened her and had tried to have her put in an insane asylum. She went deeply into the detailg and made divers specific charges. Miss Agnes Dowl!.ng, a neighbor, accom- panied her to the Four Courts and corrobo- rated many of her statements. While in Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson's otfice Bechtola arrived. He scowled at his wife, but said nothing to her. After he spoke to Col. Johnson he left. His wife seemed badly frightened, and after he departed she said she was afraid to go home. She said Bechtold spent his pension of $20 a month on himseif and refused to oontrib- ute to her support and was violent in his manner. “Last Saturday he scattered coals of fire on the floor,’ said Miss Dowling, ‘‘and when we started to sweep them up he made us quit and said ‘let it burn.” Some men put him out of the house.” “About three months ago,” said Mrs. Bechtold, “he brought a package of strych- nine home and when I found it and hid it, and spoke to him about it he satd he brought it home to kill me with. Here it ig.’’ Mrs. Bechtold exhibited a package la- belled strychnine, that came from a drug Easton avenue. Col. Johnson advised Mrs. Bechtold to apply for a police summons against her husband. She did so and it was issued. Bechtold served on the police force 20 years. He was diemissed once for ineffi. clency, and was reinstated. He was put on the retired I'st four years ago.

BUT THE ADMINISTRATION FORCES STOOD SOLIDLY. The Democratic Minority Claims That the Lobby Will Be in Full Con- trol of All Legislation. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 5.—The Administration and the lobby scored a yic- tory in the organization of both House and Senate in the Democratic caucuses last night. Ward of Stoddard was nominated for Speaker in the House, and Cornetius Roach of Jasper was nominated for Secre- tary of the Senate. The House caucus did not come up to expectations in point of liveliness. ‘The Only feature of the proceedings that re- deemed them from the commonplace was the speech of Whitecotton of Monroe, withdrawing from the Speakership contest and nominating Matt . Hall of Saline. Mr, Halil got only 16 votes, while Mr. Ward had 66, From the amount of bitterness that was engendered in the campaign tor the Speax- ership, it was expected that the contest on the floor of the caucus would be hard fought. It turned out ‘after al] that Ward’s claims of strength were at-no time exaggerated, and that some of the other candidates made claims that would not hold water, If Whitecotton had remained in the race and had allowed his name to be voted upon, the contest would hav been almost ludicrous in its tameness, But Whitecotton lifted: it out of the ordinary The speech was intended as a declaration of principles, and Whitecotton undoubtedly hoped that it might result in a stampede to Hall, but the Ward forces declined to be stampeded. The speech caused great enthusiasm, which is a tribute to Mr. Whitcotton’s or porical ability, but the effect was not las ng. The House caucus was organized by the election of George ‘'H. Noel as Chairman and R, P. Thompeéon Secretary. The following officers were then elected as rapidly as many roll-calls would permit: Speaker—W. J. Ward of Stoddard. Speaker pro tem ---V. O. Coltrane of Green, P hief Clerk—Henry A, Newman of Ran- olph. Tasistant Chief Clerk—Richard S. Slater of Kansas Cigy. Engrossing Clerk—Joseph Tall of Clark. Enrolling Clerk—Robert Morrow of Maries. Official Reporter—Charles L. Johnston of DeKalb. Doorkeeper—M. W. Malone of Linn. Sergeant-at-Arms—E. M. Bass of Boone. Folder—Miss Iva Dorsett of Cass, Chaplain—Rev. Sam Pollard. The defeat of the Rev. W. N. Prottsman for the chaplaincy will be a sad blow to him. He-is nearly’ 9 years old and enjoys the distinction of*having written the first Thanksgiving pr@éclamation issued in Mis- souri. He.is bling’ and the pay he received as chaplain durfmg many sessions was a great ald to him. ‘ F Re In the Senate Gaucus there was another disappointment in, the weakness shown by H. }. Groves of Independence, the candi- date for Secretary. put forward by the Painter people when the latter withdrew. All day Painter managers claimed that they had Roach ‘beaten. When-they got into the caucus they could show but 8 votes, against Roach’s 14. The Senators who voted for Groves, who wae put forward: as the anti-lobby candli- date, are: Young,.Wilson, Anderson, Mor- ton, Tandy. Vaadiver, Fields and Orchard. Senator McClintic of Marion was @leetéd President Pro Tem. The other officers elected are as follows: Assistant Secretary — Clark Dooley of Texas. Doorkgeper—C. A. Milman of Kansas ty. Official Reporter—J. H. Edwards of Cole. Folder—N.* A. McBride. Reading Clerk—W. W. Waters. Chaplain—Rev. Jas. Bradicy of Audrain. The chief parts of the speech of Mr. Whitecotton, which is bound to add to the bitterness existing between the Adminis- tration and anti-Administration. forces fal- lows: “I went into this canvass, gentle- men, believing that it would be accorded to me as an humble Democrat of this great State and this great party to present my claims to the Democrats for preferment at your hands.

A Story, Originating in St. Louis, Afloat at Jefferson City. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 5.—Is ex- Governor William J. Stone a candidate for Governor? There is a story to that effect here, The story came from St. Louis and originated -at a lunch at Caesars, at which Stone himself, Hugh J. Brney, and Charles P. Higgins were present, rady and Higgins seem. to be responsible for the spread of the astofiishing rdmor ofthe Gov- ernor’s ambition. They have been talking that the ex-Governor to!d them he was a candidate for Governor two years hence. Stone’s friends deny it and say he was only joking and that his remarks have been misconstrued, They say Stone is a candi- date for the Presidency, or rather that he was at the time there was so much talk about it several months ago. They say he really saw Croker tn New York and planned his candidacy with him on the ex- pansion platform. This statement has been repeatedly denied by Stone. The gtory about his cand:dacy for Governor has been spread all over Jefferson City, and has created a flurry. PHELPS APPALLS THE LOBBY. Rumor Spread That He Will Not Re- main at Jefferson City.

The interviews of Messrs. Morton and Conkling were the opening guns of the campaign: which ig to continue until the next State campaign, Although State Chairman Sam Cook is at present silent it is not improbable that he will openl ally himself with the opposition to the ad- ministration. and itg friends. He will car- ry a majority of the State Committee with him. ese gentlemen seem to have ar- rived at the conclusion that if the Dema« cratic party is to perpetuate itself in power in Missouri it must not only bring forward a supply of fresh material, but it must throw off the inflvence of the rail- road lobby which has succeeded in in- trenching itself so securely.

One of Two of Mexico’s Most Noted Men Will Succeed Romero. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—The succession to Ambassador Romero, so far as Wash- ington reports ge, seems to be between Jose Limantour and Ignacio M. Mariscal. Both of these gentiemen are in the Cabinet of President Diaz. Senor Mariscal] is the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, correspand- ing to our Secretary of State. In connec- tion with the mention ef him as Ambassa- dor to the United States it is an interesting facet that he began his public career as secretary of legation at Washington. At four different times Senor Mariscal has filled temporarily the post of Minister to the United States. While the late Ambas- sador Romero . married a Philadelphia woman, Senor parece) married a Balti- more woman, - Pee of a century ago he was recognize s one of the leading diplomats of the world. There is some doubt whether, at his age and in view of the importance of his posjtion at home, Senor Mariscal will desire this appointment to the United States, His writings on con- stitutional law are standard. The trans- lations by Mariscal of Bryant's “Than- atopsis’’ and Poe's ‘‘Raven”’ are considered Span) classies, Se i Don Jose Limantour is many years younser than Senor Mariscal. Senor Lim- antour !s the Secretary of the e Treasury. German Press Urges, the Nation to Watchfulness and dreater Vigor. BERLIN, Jan. 5.—The Kruez Zeitung, in an article, understood to be inspired by the German Foreign Office, eays: “Europe is on the threshold of a new era.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Jan. 5.—There is a possibility that Indianapolis will not be represented in the Western League the coming season, or in fact, any baseball or- ganization, Then again, it may only result in the dropping out of the present Indianapolis Club and the substitution of another by the League itself. All this is brought about by the action of the Indianapolis City Council in determining to cut a street through the Ball Park at Indianapolis. An official of the Indianapolis Club {js au- thority for the statement ‘‘That if the city cuts through the park the Indianapolis Club will go out of business the coming season.”’ These are plain facts and may ¢nange the complexion of the Western League for the season of 1899. When President Killilea, of the Milwaukee Club, was shown a dispatch this morning referring to the matter, he opened up and gave his views in the following language: “It would not be surprising to me to see the Hoosier city out of the circuit entirely, but, of course, I am - not looking for any- thing like that at present. I know that the Council at Indianapolis has ordered a street cut through the park and that will make it very disagreeable for the owners of the club, but just the same it will be possitte to secure other grounds if they so desire. However, if the club does not wish to stund the expense of building a new park Why the franchise will revert to-the League and the latter will be at liberty to place a club in the city or do as it pleases in the matter. It is hard to tell at this time just what would happen in the event of the spusmanetic Club dropping out. I know Mat the city cannot secur “s thi the National League. fe @ franchise in “There will be time te figure on ¢} ez when we hear from the owners of ay dianapolis @lub, out in the meantime the officials of the League will not be sleeping. Mhere is such a thing as the Cleveland and Louisville Clubs being dropped by the National League or else Cleveland and Bal- timore, in which event one or two cities would be available to the Western League. You see, Cleveland and Louisville or Cleve. land and Toronto would fit in nicely with Indianapolis out.
