Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 12.—Col. Wm. H. Phelps didn’t tarry long in Jeffer- gon City yesterday. He came in on the noon tra'n from St. Louis, received the homage ‘of the multitude, visited the Capitol and ileft on the 2:35 p. m. trai‘n. As he walked to the station, he remarked to a friend who expresed chagrin on behalf of the Colonel's friends; that he was go!ng @way so soon: “Yes, I leave them to the tender mercies of the ticket agent.” A Sedalia (Mo.) newspaper bas aroused members of the Legislature and loyal Jef- ferson Cityans to a high pitch of indigna- lurid editorial picture of the w'ckedness of the capital city.

STATE BOARD OF BARBERS. Bill to Create a System of Inspection of Shops and Licensing of Men. Senator Rollins of St. Louis has intro- duced a bill in the Missouri Legislature to create a State Board of Barber Inspection. The bill is backed by the three organiza- tions of barbers in St. Louis, and J. J. Far- stind and Jesse Turner of St. Louis are in Jefferson City to talk for it. The bill provides for the appointment of three inspecters by the Governor irrespec- tive of poiitics. The barbers say they don’t care a rap about the pelitics of the mem- bers :f they know the tonsorial profession. The bill limits the Governor, however, by providing that he shali appoint men rec- ommended by the three barbers’ organiza- tions. This board shall meet four times a year, and the members. shall receive $3 a day while actually in service. All barbers now in the business are al- lowed 60 days after the bill becomes a law in which to apply for licenses. They must pay $1 apiece tor the licenses. Atter the 60 days expire licenses may be had only upon a satisfactory examination and the payment of $. Apprentices are to serve three years and are then to pass an exam- ination. The sanitary condition of barber shops is to be regulated by the board of inspection in conjunction with the State Board of Helath. WARM FOR HENRY NEWMAN. Democrats of the First District Present Grievance by Resolution. Special to the L’ost-Dispatech. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 12.—Chief Clerk Henry A. Newman of the House was made a target for the indignation of mem- bers this morning. The complaint was that he was guilty of gross discrimination in distributing the patronage at h:s disposal. Judge Hawkins of Marion County, one of the oldest members, started the trouble by offer.ng the following resolution: “Whereus, In the distribution of the patronage of his office, the Chief Clerk of this Mouse has given no recognition or appointment upon his clerical force to any member or citizen of the First Congression- al District; and, “Wnoereas, Said Congressional District gave at the last election a majority to the Democratic ticket of 3862 and is represented on this floor by seven Democratic members whose w.shes and requests for the appoint- ment from said district have been wilfully disregarded and refused by said Chief Clerk; and, “Whereas, The Committee on (Clerical Force apportioned to said Chief Clerk is 112 assistants, being 30 more than the total Democratic strength of th.-s body: there- fore, be it “Resolved by this House, That said Chief Clerk be required to reform his force and give to eacn Congress:onal District an equitable proportion of said force accord- ing to its Democratic strength and mem- — ste Phere floor.”’ e resolution was signed by Hawkins, Chinn, Coffey, McKim and "MéRoberte Representatives of counties the First District. Judge Hawkins moved the adoption of the resolution. He declared that the patron- age of the House was not the personal property of the Chief Clerk, but the com- mon property of the Democrats. ‘l do not believe,” he said, ‘‘that the Democratw majority will allow this out- rage to go unpunished.”’ _Hamilton of Daviess, in defense of the Chief Clerk, demanded to know how many places the First District got on other cler- ical forces of the House. Hawkins ad- mitted he had secured one place in the other service of the House. Johnston of Cooper moved that the resolu- tion be referred to the Committee on Cler- ical Force. Clark of Audrian declared it was unfair to attack Newman and net condemn the heads of other departments. Hawkins made a hard fight and handled Newman without gloves, but the resolution was referred by a vote of /55 to 24. The discontent of certain’: members over Major Newman's distribution of patronage wlll not stop here. He is charged with having given 15 places to men from his own ¢ounty, Randolph. St. Louls city got only four ‘places and the members from Jackgon County secured the appointment of only two. “Of course,’’ said Judge Hawkims, “I had no hope of my resolytion being adopted. The pap hunters were against me, and the Republicans did not + ety < ye in the fight. But if I had my way, the House Would compel the Chief Clerk to report the names of his appointees and the counties they come from.” ‘ Ellis of Bates offered a resolution in the House, commending the volunteer goldiers from Missouri who joined the army during the war with Spain, which was adopted. NEW REGISTRATION IDEA. Each Voter to Be Given a Certificate— Bills Introduced. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 12.—Cara- well of Jackson County this morning in- troduced in the House a Dill providing that in registering voters each voter as he reg- isters shall iven a certificate of reg- istration, a blan form for which is given in the bill Pope of Gasconade presented a bill pro- viding that te | courts shall furnish school books to the children of indigent parents.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 12.—It is now certain that the St. Louis Lexow (Ccm- mittee will not eave Jefferson City before next Wednesday night. The members. of course, Wish to participate in the re-elec- tion of Senator F. M. Cockrell, next Tues- day evening. The next day, Wednesday, has been set aside by the Senate for memorial services in honor of the late Senator Wells of Platte County. Senator Hohenschild will deliver an oration on that occasion, and others who are members of the committee wiil wish to pay tribute to their late colleague. Wednesday evening, therefore, is the ear- liest time when the committee can start for St. Louis. It will probable spend Thurs- day getting ready for the investigation. It is probable that a room will not be se- lected untii after the committee’s arrival in St. Louis. The Democrats on the committee are in- clined to be amused at the Repubiican claim, which proceeds from certain quar- ters in St. Lou:s, that the investigation can- not be fair/because the Republicans are in the minority. They ask whether the Re- publicans admit the application of the same rule to President McKinley's War In- vestigation Committee, in which the Re- publicans are largely in the majority. “A bi-partisan committee,’ said a mem- ber of the Major Committee, ‘‘would be in- effective from the start, because there would be a tie-vote on the first question invo.ving a partisan question, and unlese impossible event— It would be one side submitted—an the investigation would stop. a farce.’’ The Republican Senators, with the ex- ception of Rdllins. are not in sympathy with the bi-partisan jdea. They all voted against the Rollins bi-partisan resolution, and Senator Schweickhardt spoke against it. Even Senator Rollins has intimated to his friends that he introduced the resolution oniy to eatisfy clamorous constituents. Aydelott’s resolution in the House was in- troduced with much the same purpose, to give Republicans a-chance to go on record against a purely Democratic measure. Most of the Republicans take the view that this is a Democratic Legislature, and therefore the Democrats are entitled to control in all matters pertaining to the ses- sion. The members of the committee are un- animous for open sessions. They say they cannot allow the whole public to be present but they can admit the press, and they express an earnest hope that the newspa- pers will publish as much of the testimony verbatim as possible. It is the opinion of several of the members, also, that the committee should make partial reports to the Senate, as the investigation proceeds. That ts, the plan suggested contemplates making a report to the Senate of the evi- dence regarding each department as it Is completed. Members of the committee are inclined to demand of the Police Commissioners a written guarantee that no officer under them shall suffer as a consequence of his testimony. “About the first thing we will do,”’ said a member, “will be to cal] the commis- sioners before us and ask them fo give us such a guarantee in writing. I know that is in line with the .Governor's wishes, and it will give the officers who have in- formation thre nerve to speak out.” It Is probabl~ that Mr. Filley may be of value to the committee. He will not, of course, appear before the committee, but it Is understood that he is in possession of information which will be valuable as tips to the investigators. The Governor also has a Mass of evidence of various kinds which he will turn over to the com- mittee before it leaves Jefferson City. The Collector's office will probably be the first to come under 4: view of the com- mittee. It will go back into the Ziegen- hein administration, agd will make an at- tempt to learn something about why Mr. Wenneker’s collections the first ‘year have been nearly $1,000,000 greater than those of the Mayor’s last year. They wil] also in- quire into the disappearance of the Zie- genhein books. Julius Wurzburger’s loy- alty to the Mayor will be put to the su- preme test in this line of inquiry. The matter of counsel for the committee seems settled. The members with the ex- ception of the two Republicans favor call- ing upon Attorney-General Crow, and that will be done. MAY TRY TORRENS SYSTEM. Representative Mann Proposes New Law to Govern Real Estate. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFF BRSON CITY. Mo., Jan. 12.—Repre- sentative Mann of Kansas City to-day in- troduced a bill to make the Torrens 6ystem govern real estate transactions in this State. The bill comes here with the in- dorsement of the Commercial Club of Kan- sas City and other similar organizations. The first section of the bill abolishes e¢6- tates of dower and courtesy and provides that a husband may sell, convey, mortgage or encumber his real estate, except the homestead. without the consent of his wife. The wife is given the same exclusive con- trol of ner real property, and the covenants of a married woman contajned in her deed affecting real oe shall be binding upon x and her heirs. Pan ball makes recorders of deeds regis- trars of title, ex-officio, in all counties. They are required to give bonds in addition to their bonds as recorders of deeds. No regie- trar may practice law or belong to a firm of lawyers. He Is required to appoint two or more lawyers as examiners of titles. The owner of an estate or interest in land, whether legal or equitable, may have his propert: registered by following a process minutely outlined in the bill. No mortgage, deed of trust. lien, charge or Jjesser thana fee simple ehall be registered unless the fee simple has first been registered, but it ic not an obligation to bringing land under the proyisions of this act that it Is so enoumbéred and subject to lesser estate. Title derived through tax sale can not be registered until it has been shown that the claimant has been in undisputed possession ten years and hag. paid all the taxes for seven consecutive years of that time. Applications for registration must be made in writing and the applicant must state whether he \s single. married or divorced, and must give the name of his wife. Applications may be made to the Circuit Court. which will then proceed to aecertain all the interests involved and determine just what they are. The examiners of title are to ascertain these facts for the court. When the court has entered its decree no erson, not in possession, May assert any right in or Hen or demand upon the same, or make entry thereon adversely to the title or interest as found, except within two years thereafter. When property is teansferred, there is an alaborate provision for regietration of the transfer. ' TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tabiets.

HER HUSBAND TOOK A HAND, BUT HE WAS ROUTED QUICKLY BY AN EX-POLICEMAN. , An East Side Theatrical Controversy Which Resulted in Many Ar- rests and a Number of Fines. A new “Faust,”” with Lewis Morrison as Mephistopheles, will be the Sunday attrac- tion at the East St. Louls Opera House. A private rehearsal of a new prologue to the piece was held in the Thespian temple last night, with a continuous show thie morning, in which Manager William Knup- fe] and his wife assumed a double role, the other members of the cast’ being constat- bles. Louls Marsh of Winstanley Park, Harry Thompeon and John Hester, ex- Policeman Fitts, Mrs. Mary Moseley, John- ny Smith, a 12-year-old messenger boy, and Justice George A. Boyne. One of the acts consisted in the arrest of Manager Knupfe)] on a warrant for assault- ing Constable Hester. The arrest was ac- complished, it is said, only after Mrs. Knup- fel had defeated all three of the constables in hand-to-hand encounters. Her final coup was the result of a p'ece of strategy, in which the messenger boy Smith caught the manager's wife napping early this morning and enabled Constable Hesier to serve the warrant on the woman. Then she was arraigned in Justice Boyne’s court with her brother, a Mr. Phillips. as her general prompter. : Another act was the arrest of ex-Police- ‘ man Fitts on a warrant at the hands of | Manager Knupfel. The ex-policeman had ummelled some of his name into the elligerent manager, the latter escaping with a badly colored eye which will be hid fro.: Mr. Lewis’ audience next Sundav by the .act that Knupfel is leader of his or- chestra and he fronts in the other direction as cog nent hours.

There is another statemerit that it is the bursting of a storm cloud that has been hovering over East St. Louis’ chief seat of amusement for several moons. Anyhow, Manager Knupfel claimed yes- _terday that Fitts owed him $13 for theiuter tiekets—or something. He went to Mrs. Fitts and undertook to collect the alleged debt in the absence of.Mr. Fitts. The Fitts family lives on the fourth floor of the “opera’’ house. Manager Knupfel and his Wife are at home two tiers nearer the earth. Mrs. Fitts told Manager Knupfel that her husband would settle all bills. She says the manager insulted her. When her hus- band came home last night he was told of the occurrence. “Why,” said the ex-policeman, “that man OWes me $35 for labor. I'll go and take the balance out of his hide.”’ And he. did. \(Phe-scene that followed Manager Knup- fel's visit to Mrs. Fitts was supplemented by an alleged attack of the manager on ~Mrs. Moseley, his landlady, who rents the fourth floor of the opera house and keeps boarders. Mrs. Moseley also has a lease on the room adjoining the theater lobby, which she uses as a confectionery and cigar stand. The opera house saloon is in the base- ment of the building. Manager Knupfel Wants the cigar stand quarters for the saloon location. He told Mrs. Moseley so peter ean. after the first Fitt’s visit. Mrs. Moseley said: ‘“‘No sir, you can’t have that reom until my lease runs out at the close of the amusement season.” The manager knew the little woman meant every word she uttered. Nothing daunted, however, he took the law in his .OWn hands and removed the contents of the little store into the street. rs. Moseley consulted Lawyer Flanni- an and the result was the filing of a $5000 amage sult against the hasty manager for trespass and assumpsit. z Ex-Policeman Fitts heard Mrs. Moseley’s @tory in-addition to his wife!s troubles in the afternoon.

Preliminary Trial cf the Six Outlaws Is Still Ozark City of Mans- field. in Progress in the MANSFIELD, Mo., Jan. 12.~Traftnrobber Kennedy stands nearer the shadow of the gallows to-day thin he ever did before in all the many crimes he has been accused of. He has been fully identified as the leader of the Macomb hold up, and convic- tion under the Missouri law means death. The mysterious ‘Jennings’ is a mystery no longer. He ‘s Bill Ryan, one of the old James Gang. Ryan was in the Glendale robbery, and he still carries scars and wounds received at that time. He was arrested for h!s part in that robbery, convicted and sentenced to 2 years in State's prison. He was pardoned in 1882, and hae since that time been in Texas and the Indian Terr-tory. This community is stirred to its founda- tion over the capture of the bandits and the preliminary trial of Ryan, which {1s in progress in Justice Kittrell’s stuffy, little court room over the postoffice. The whole country side was in town early this morn- ing. Before the fog had lifted horses splashed with mud and streaming with the heat of hard rides were hitched about the streets and farmers crowdeod the stores and street corners to talk about the big sensation. Justice Kittrell never dreamed when he was elected squire that he would ever be called upon to try a case involving the life or liberty of men. He is astonished: £O are the townspeople and the side. When Ryan and Shepherd were led through a muddy alley and up a rickety flight of stairs at the rear of the court room this morning, they passed between files of substantial looking farmers. These. files closed in’ behind the prisoners and rushed pell mell up the stairs, soon filling the little room which does service as town hall, opera house nd court room. On an elevated stage, above which hung a drop curtain, sat ‘’Squire Kittrell, resolution written upon his face. The Squire was flanked by half a dozen farmers who talked of the merits of the case in stagy whispers. Superintendent Hammond of the Memphis, whose private car brought John Kennedy here flying, took a seat ‘on the stage, fol- lowed by J. A. Schumacher, the Pinkerton superintendent, and a small herd of detec- tives. H. H. Ball, prosecuting attorney, seated himself very near the ’Squire. The house was full and the audience ready for the show to begin. rhe evidence was voluminous, but it was all one way. Bvery one of the six men wich identified as the men who robbed the This morning the defense rested without introducing any testimony in case against Train tobbers Jennings and Shepard.

After the arrival of Kennedy here on a special train from Kansas City, handcuffed and under the guard of half a dozen armed men, Kimer Byron, who confessed to par- ticipation in the Macon robbery, was taken into the car and positively identified Ken- nedy as the leader of the robber band. who was known to him as Jack Wright.: Ken- nedy was lying stretched upon a ear seat. surrounded by the officers, when Byrum was led in. Kennedy half opened his eyes and looked up. The flickering rays of dawn fell upon his face and Byrum scanned Ken- nedy’s features closely. him,’’ he exclaimed. anywhere.” “But you said he had a mustache,” some one suggested. “He has cut it off. It’s him. That’s the man that rode to the Macomb hold-up with me,’’ Byrum replied. Kennedy sneered and looked away. He was confronted with the strongest evidence that he ever faced in his life. His bragga- docio and show of nerve that carried him through two trials in Kansas C'ty left him. He looked dejected and downeast. He re- alized that for once in his life ‘he was truly in the stern hands of the law. and sees that it is unrelenting. Byrum was taken back to the hotel, just across from the depot where the other rob- bers were sleeping, guarded in the'r beds. whiie a porter was beating a breakfast gong furiously upon the platform. The Kansas City train pulled in, and the passengere be- gan piling out to get a look at Kennedy. He was led down the platform through the crowd, neither looking to the right nor to the left. His coming had aroused the little town. Men eame from the stores and ev- erywhere to sec him... Kennedy pa‘d no at- tention to them, At the hotel he was taken upstairs and intd room, “T’d know ) a.

He might jump out the window.” “Well, when he gets away. I'll let you know,”’ said Cantrell, looking out from un- der the r-m of his broad white hat and shifting two long revolvers that hung at his side. Just then the door of the next room opened and the man believed to be Bill Ryan, and Joe Shepard, shackled together, were led into the hall. Ryan swore roundly because the shackles were tight on his legs. he old robber hobbled down the steps, cursing everything and everybody, and dragged his chains into the crowded dining room where the passengers were eating breakfast. There was a lull in the rattle of Knives and forks as the guests stepped eating and gazed wide mouthed at the peers. Ryan and Shepard sat down and vegan to eat ravenously, but Ryan was sti]] muttering imprecations upon his captors. Juet then a deputy marched Jack Ken. nedy into the room, handcuffed but cleanly shaven, well dreseed and with smoothly parted hair. “An!’’ exclaimed the waiter kirle. John kept his eyes on the floor and followed the deputy across the dining room Where the handcuffs were taken from his Wrists and he was seated facing where Ryan and Shepard eat.

Pirmly Set in the Conviction That the United States Must Forever Re- tain the Whole Archi-. pelago. Special to the Post-Dippatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—The Post-Dis- ‘patch correspondent is authorized to 6ay ‘that the Administration has no thought of giving up the Philippines. Senator Fora- ker’s speech yesterday was without au- thority, and the President does not feel himself bound by it. ' The President is in favor of extending to the inhabitants of the islands a meas- ‘ure of home rule, but he is set in. the conviction that the United States must forever retain: the islands as a part of the territory of the United States. Senator Foraker was forced by the heat and excitement of debate to make a mis- iJeading and unauthorized statement. He told. hia fellow-Senators. that the purpose of the Administration is not to retain per- manent sovereignty over the Philippines, but to maintain megely.temporary juris- ‘diction until the Filipinos shall have had jan opportunity of erecting.a stable gov- ‘ernment of their own. He also said the 'President is in favor of givin Mi- pinos an independent form of.government,. “Both of these statements are inconeist- ent with the President’s policy, Senator ‘Foraker would not have made them in a cool calm and wunimpassioned speech,”’ said a Cabinet Minister to the Post-Dis- patch correspondent. He said further that Senator Foraker was without warrant for making any euch etatements, and he seemed much surprised that he had given voice to them, After Senator Foraker concluded several Senators pressed about him and asked for further information about the President’s policy. This was sarcasm, as Foraker has been for many years and still is at odds With the’ President. His attempt to out- pine the Administration’s policy with re- ‘Bpect to the Philippines would not have been considered except in jest had it not deen for the fact that it is likely to prove Misleading to the people who do not know ‘of the relations between the President and the Qhio Senator. The Cabinet officer. referred to above of- | part, I am undecided at prerent as to what oe we should pursue in the Philip- pines.”’ Senator Lodge remarked: “For my part am confident the American people are capable of meeting any emergency which may arise. Whether we will establish a protectorate or aliow the Philippines to set‘ up an independent form of goverhment or create some other form of government will be determined later on.” Senator Allen of Nebraska favors the es- tablishment of a joint protectorate in the | Philippines and gaid: “TI suggest that we must assist them in ‘establishing a form of.government some- thing in line with the present government of Samoa, although I would not advocate setting up a King.” Genator Teller of Colorado, who favors expansion and will vote for the ratification of the treaty, says he favors the estab- lishment of an independent form of gov- ernment in the Philippines. He would have the United States exercise supreme control over the islands until the natives demon- strate their abflity to maintain an indepen- dent republic and then the United States should exercise a sort of protectorate over the islands. Senator Morgan of Alabama says he would favor the establishment of a civii or military form of government in the Phil- ippines, under the control of the United tates until the natives have demonstrated théir ability to govern themselves. At present we have no assurance that they are capable of self-government and until that uestion is fully determined the United dtates is in duty bound and is expected by the nations of the earth to exercise a vir- tual protectorate over the islands, PROTECTORATE IN PHILIPPINES Prof. MaGill Said to Have Voiced President McKinley. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 12.~Ex-President E. H. MaGill of Swarthmore College, de- livered an address on the Philippines be- fore a Friend's Association Monday even- ing. “Before preparing this address,” said Prof. MaGill, ‘I deemed it prudent to seek a personal and private interview with President McKinley. He granted me this the day before New Year’s, and during a conversation of nearly half an-hour he sent for a paper, which he had dispatched, but had not yet made public, as instructions for Admiral Dewey and Gen. Otis at Ma- nila, and from this read me the essential passages. “This interview left on my mind the de- cided impression that the treatment of the Philippines is to be on the line of preserv- ing gga among the imperfectly civilized peoples and preventing the incursions of other nations who might be inclined to re- subject them to the servitude from which we have delivered them.’’ President McGill's address was referred before delivery to President McKinley, who slightly amended and approved it. Solicitor General Richards wrote to Mr. McGill in the President’s behalf that Mr. McKinley found nothing in it that ought to be elimi- nated. Prof. McGill discussed various pos- sible courses as to the Philippines and said: “Would it not be better for the United State to continue its protectorate over these people, avoiding by all means, treat- ng them as a conquered nation, but rather regarding them as friends and allies and securing their co-operation in establishing a system of self-government? Our pro- tectorate must be of such a nature to pre- vent the other nations from interfering with this interesting experiment in train- ing other peoples. “By pursuing this course, too, we should avoid the charge of national expansion, which threatens thus early to become a watchward with the next Presidential cam- paign. This would be unfortunate, for as soon as any form of words becomes a party cry in a political campaign all hopes of reasoning on the subject vanish. “Why may not the course proposed for the ‘Philippines be as practicable for them as for Cuba, where we are bound to apply it, even SO much nearer home, or break our most solemn pledges? “We should make no promises as to the duration of the rotectorate which we would establish and maintain over these in- cipient nations, but leave it to time and evolution of the peoples concerned.” SHAFTER FOR SLAUGHTER. ah ae ea aa ra Dananananannannaranannnnnnnnnrnnnnnnnnnnnmnn \ 250 Plush Capes, as cut, good quality plush—black silk serge lined, worth $5.00, re- duced to PER Ladies’ Corsets and Muslin Underwear Not the cheap,° flimsy sorts that are made up for special sale purppses— but stylish, dainty, well- made goods, warranted to wear to your entire satis- faction, and offered at the lowest prices yet touched!

NINE DAYS WILL DETERMINE. Only One Death at Quarantine and All but One Patient Either Conval- escent or Discharged. A critical «tage of the smallpox epidemic has been reached. The next nine days will determine whether it has been checked or whether it may continue until warm weather pute an end to ft. Chief Dispensary Physician Jordan, as- sisted by Dra. Johnson, Reber, Specht, Niedringhaus and Voge}! is watching it as he might a treacherous serpent. He sleeps at the Dispensary every night, g0 that he may be at hand if a suspicious case develops or any other emergency arises. His corps of assistants keep constant vigil over the places from which esemalipox cases have come. There are now three of these, the Ashley butiding, the home of August Lueking at 1455 Benton street and 1414 North Twenty-first street, from which the gir) Bernie Michalek was taken. The time has passed within which cases would have developed from exposufes at the other places where victims were dis- covered. Testimony to the vigilance of the Health Department and the efficiency of the treat- ment at Quarantine Is borne by the fact that only one death has oceurred. Mary Baleerozak, otherwise known as Mary Brown, died Tuesday. She was taken from the Ashley building Jan. 4. The vitality of Minnie Lucking amazes Ir. Jordan. She was sent down to Quaran- tine on the 6th. She wae very sick then. On the &th her condition was reported dan- gerous, Monday when Dr. Jordan tele- phoned down, the physician said she was dying. She has been hovering between life and death ever since. Dr. Jordan says if she Hves until to-morrow she will prob- recover. aurhe other patients are all doing well. ‘Iehmon Hart, the negro sent down from a grading camp across the river, will be discharged in a day or two. Albert Ross of 1622 Wash street is convalescent, Ber- nie Michalek is stfil in bed, but out of denger, Mary Gucha had only a mild care of varioloid. Her sister Annie had a se- vere case. but is now convalescent. All of the Lindsay family have been 4d’s- ‘charged. “Tf no new cases develop between now and the 2ist.” said Dr. Jordan, Friday. ‘we will be out of the woods. In persons who were exposed to the Gucha girls, the disease will not develop after the 16th, in those exposed to the Balcerozak girl and Miss Lueking not later than the 20th and | in those exposed to Bernie Michalek not later than the 21st. “A good deal depends upon the weather. Cold weather is favorable to the spread of the disease, not because it affects it di- rectly, but because it forces people to keep the'r houses closed tightly and fresh air ia not given a chance to exercise its puri- fying functions.”’ Miss Lueking contracted the divease at a rag factory at Main and Brooklyn streets.

An é@mploye of Underteker Bengiek brought ina death certifica’'e which stated that “Phthisia Pulmongs}iis’ had died at 1325 Franklin avenue, at the age of 58 years. The cause Of death Was given as pulmonary hemorrnherse. The certificate was signed by Dr. Jacob Brim of 2612 St. Vincent avenue. é; “Phthisis Pulmonalis—that’s no name,” said Dr. Karges. ‘That's her name,” sald the undertaker’s assistant. “It is pecullar, but you see the certificate says she was born in Russia. I've seen Russfan names that were’ worse than that.”’ “Rut’' Phthisfs Pulmonal's” ts not the name of a persow.’’ shouted Dr. Karges. “Tt Is the name of a disease.

The evidence showed that Hopson lived at 818 Wailnat street and kept boarders, among whom was Fannie Wilson. Walsh used to keep com- pany with her, but ghe tired of him, and when he sent up Ris card a few days ago Mies Wilson de«lined to see him, This an- gered Walsh and he created a disturbance. Hopson ordered Walsh to vacate, but he refused to leave. Then Walsh had a fight, but he was not in it. Hopson escaped without a scratch, ' Judge Peabody asked Walsh if he were married. Walsh’ said he wae married six years ago. Then he asked Miss Wilson if she were married to Walsh. She replied no. Then the Judge told Walsh he ought to be charged with perjury.

From the Chicago T!mes-Herald In the flood of news which came fn da:ly over the wires recently about Fashoda there was a congtant reference, an itera- 10h And Telteration of one word which, while persons Who read might surmise it ieferrea probatiy tO a tth, yet had no positive proof of exactly woat it meant. anal one Word Was invariab.y prefixed to o.r Herbert Kitetener’s name—the S:rdar. Now, what meant this word Sirdar? -A Quarter of a-century ago or there- abouts, at the time when Great Britain by mght of we gt and not for any other reason occupied Egypt and took the Su}- .an’s khedive under ius tutelage, one of its first acts Was to reorganize the Egypt.an army. British officers wére sent to Egypt and placed at the head of the native troops. Chese officers drilled the troops, taught them the manual of arms ana graduaily -NSt.led in them that same esprit de corpe and enthug.asm which makes the. Briti:h Army itself such a compact and formidabie y. Tae native troops were allowed to retain their colors, their flags and ins_gnia and all the paraphernalia of war distinc- tively the attribute of an unconquered peo- Die. British statesmen went further. They even allowed the same military titles to re- main. It was a tactful thing to do. Britain lost no‘hing thereby, and the Egyptian Watr.ora retained all that was sentimental- ly sacred to them. Thus, therefore, the very ancient words Sirdar, bimbashi, jJougoul, etc., remained in the army. The Sirdar of the Egyptian army is the General-in-Chief. The bimbashi is @ major; the jougoul a Captain. Sirdar, literally, it means officer, is as old an ex- pression almost as the country of the Pha- raohs itself. In Arabic the word means head man.’ There needs be little stretch of the imagination to see how the term Came to be given to the commandant of the Egyptian forces. Sir Herbert Kitchener is the second sir- dar of Egypt, the first to bear that name being Mejor-General Sir Francis Wallace Grenfell. Sir Herbert Kitchener became Sirdar in 1897. It is not a generally known fact that he wa: a fellow student of the ‘ate Prince Imperial at Woolwich Military Academy. Born in 1857, he was, so to say, brought up in a barracks. His father. Col. Horatio Kitchener, was a soldier, and the future hero of Omdurman dreamed of sol- diering in earliest boyhood. County Kerry, Ireland, was his birthplace. and on the dowrs near Cratta House, his home when a lad, a fine old mansion on the road to Tralee, the battle of Omdurman was really fought. He thus possesses British tenacity and Irish pugnacity. And only 48! What great eminence may he not then reach? THE YOUNGER BOYS. Model Prisoners Who Hope to Breathe _ the Air of Freedom Again. From the Sedalia Capital. Rev. J. H.- Albert of Stillwater, Minn.. chaplain of the penitentiary there, was in Sedalia several days ince and talked in- terestingly to a Capital reporter of the Youngers. After paying a high tribute to the mantiness of Bob Younger and telling of his death, he sabi: “Cole Younger helps in the hospital and has all the privileges that are granted in the prison. His deportment has been ab- solutely correct. Not a demerit mark has ever been placed against him in nearly a quarter of a century. He weighs about 190 pounds, ig aS straight as an Indian. sandy hair and Is bald headed. natural leader,” said Mr. reads a great deal and is the best informed politician in the State. He is an ardent Democrat and almost fanatically In favor of free silver, “Jim Younger ts librarian and mail car- rier. He is the busiest man in the prison. He is inclined to be cynical and stoical. though the convicts like him and he talks to the men as though he were a missionary or an evangeiist. He never attends serv- ices in the chapel or participates in any of the holidays granted the inmates. Cole, also, 's denied attendance at chapel serv- ices, for at that hour he is busily engaged in distributing milk in the hospital. The brothers are allowed to visit each other once a week.”’ Mr. Albert thinks that if the release of the Youngeis were left to the vote of the people of Minnesota it would win. but the project has been and will be bitterly fought by the banks, the railroads and a majority of the citizens of Northfleld. where the great raid took nlace so manv vears ago. “The fact that they were Confederate sol- diers,”’ sald the chaplain, ‘‘cuts no figure in the case, nor ig politics cons'dered. Their fate {is left in the hands of a Board of Pardons composed of three nersons. The boys still bave hope that thev wi!l yet some day breathe the air of freedom again.” GUN CAMERA Used for Taking Wing Pictures of Fly- ing Birds. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.

ow eee Oe SE ee Se . ita, Bae. er ata. Pe ee ms > i i 4 —_—_—_——— A GRATIFYING OUTCOME. It is but ‘natura] that the Post-Dispatch should fee! grati- fied at the splendid outcome of its agitation in favor of a World’s Fair at St. Louis as the proper way to celebrate the Loulsiana Purchase Centennial in 1903. The Post-Dtfspatch was the first to propose such a celebra- tion and the first to point out that a great World’s Fair would be the most suitable and comprehensive means ‘of celebrating. The outlook for success has not been bright. On the con- trary, there has been much apparent apathy on the subject. That this apathy was but superficial is proved by the en- thusiasm exhibited toward: the end of the campaign. But the seeming lack of pu'lic interest was sufficient to dis- courage other newspapers. The Post-Dispatch, however, con- tinued the agitation, believing that St. Louis would arouse herself to the greatness of the opportunity before it was too late. ) That faith has been amply justified. A World's Fair that will.turn the eyes of all the nations towards St. Louis will be its result. = = * The new law which provides that a lawyer who is a mem- ber of the Legislature can continue a case until ten days after the adjournment of the session may be a Bood thing for the lawyer, but it makes a serious delay that ou tolerated. Every litigant is entitled to as early] a decision of his case as ‘is possible. The world is full of the sorrows brought abdut by matri- monial mistakes. The young people of St. Louis/are fortunate in having so sincere and wise a counselor the Post-Dis- patch's Aunt Mary. Many people’not yousfg have also been benetited by reading her well-considered advice. If the Louisiana Purchase advances as rapidly from 1903 to 2003 as it has done from 1803 to 1903, what a vast city St. Louis will be and what a marvelous territory the purchase will have become when its annexation shall again be celebrated in this city. > wwe Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon Bonaparte are the two great names inseparably connected with the Louisiaha purchase. We must make our big World's Fair large enough to accom- pany these names. Kae D-H —-—— Undoubtedly there may be evils in municipal ownership, but can they be compared with the evil of the continuous public rebbery that is so conspicuous in many cases of private ownership? A city in which four blocks of ground are ‘worth as much as the entire original cost of the Louisiana Purchase ought to be able to celebrate that purchase effectively and St. Louis will do it. “Tell the truth,” says the Governor. ‘Tell the truth,” say the people. Now let us have the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. + && Are the people awake to,the fact ‘that an.iron and brass bedstead trust has been formed? Even in their sleep they must pay tribute to monopoly. 2d~ >. i A genuine Lexow investigation cannot be éxpanded too much. + &->-. ft i POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. Sharkey has powerful fins. Why was Miles expected to be mum as to mummy beef? Whiteside is showing the dark side of Senatorial contests in Montana. Pennsylvania banks do not seem to have had much trouble with Boss Quay’'s identification. Perhaps Secretary Gage would rather be known as ‘‘His Knobs” than as ‘“‘the keyhole of the administration.’’ Mr. Beveridge, the new Senator from Indiana, will perhaps find Washington stimulants as exhilarating as those of Indianapolis if. he is not pledged. How will that. dueling member of the Hungarian Diet, whose face has been cut open from his mouth to his ear, take any comfort in his own diet? When Champ Clark's heavy cowhide boots are'theard on the floor of the House, do they remind Sergeant-at-Arms Russell of an invincible Missouri tread? When Senator Mason makes his great speeches he takes his family to the Senate Chamber to listen to him. It is well that Senator Mason is no Mormon, The Alaskan climate seems to produce a perfect thirst.

BEAUTIFUL FINGER NAILS. i Mad Harriet Hubbard Ayer Tells Post-Dispatch Lady Readers How to Treat “Moons” and “Story Tellers.” Written for the Pgst-Dispatch. é ANY of my correspondents ask how to create the moon at the base of the nail and why white spots come upon the fingers nails, what will remove them and what they are the sign of. Contrary to the general opinion, at least ; Up to within a few years back, the moon ‘at the base of the na‘l is eimply an indica- tion” of g00dshealth and excellent circula- tion, while the white spots, it is conceded, are always the accompaniment of a highly ee 4 She: Good Hevings!

The common idea that an external appll- cation will cure the ed 5 spots is errone- ous, and my readers afflicted with the lit- tle ‘“‘story-tellers’’ would far better turn their attention to securing perfect physicial health, in the assurance that the little spots will disappear wih improved circulation and perfect digestion. It is not possible to create moons at the base of the nail: frequently the moon is there, but through ignorance or negligence it is covered by the scarf skin, which, with- out daily attention, will grow upward over the base of the nail. This selvedge or skin Should never be cut; it should receive treat- ment after washing the hands while it is softened from the water, and only requires to be gently pressed back in a neatly rounded circle: this method will give the base of the nails their natural outlinegand prevents the formation of agnails, “nail springs, cracks, etc., about their roots. It ——— ee ee ———E He: Ha! Story-tellers on your nails!

Fashion in finger nails (one day pr urncing in favor. of sharp, pointed claws, and another in round or oval CUFV@S) is an absurd attempt at the impos- sible’ You may not change the shape of your finger tips though many people belfeve they can by a,new form of cutting them. If your fingers are pointed at the tips, as seen in the conic and psychic hand: the nails should be cut to correspond, but it is folly to cut them in a point so that the tip protrudes over the round, fat en. of a commonplace finger and the fleshv part of the finger tip protrude at the sides of the nail; it is worse than foolish; it is vulgar. The nails, both for beauty and use. should exactly correspond with the tips of the fingers. To remove ordinary stains and discolorations of the nails, a little ox- alic acid diluted. or even a little lemon juice is almost always efficacious. Oxali-c acid should be used with caution, as it will render the nail opaque and is inju- is a brutality and makes them weak and distorted. In Europe the manicures never touch the nail with either of the steel instru- ments known in this country as the cuti- cle knife and cleaner. An orange-wood stick, pointed at the end, replaces | cleaner, and there is no such instrumen known as the American cuticle knife, 9 tool which is accountable for many nail blemishes, agnaiis and general discomfort. It consumes much more time, of course to treat the nails where the fingers of the operator carefully do the work, which in this country is usually accomplished by a double-quick motion of a sharp knife the result is, however, far more satisfac- tory, at least to the patient. It is not generally understood by_ the laity that the shape and appearance of the finger nails is carefully considered, and form an important factor in the diagnosis of disease. It is said that Cheiro, the greatest student of the hands of this cen- tury at least, can go into a hospital and correctly tell the ailment of every patient by merely é¢xamining his hands. It is interesting in a general way to know that long nails indicate physical weakness, tendency to lung trouble, and that this ten- dency is aggravated where the nails are corrugated and yet more aggravated if they curve from the top back to, the finger and across. Where the nails are long and bluish they indicate bad circulation. This same type manicuvuee 440 MOONMAKER Next! of nail, but shorter, denotes tendency to throat affections, bronchitis, etc. Short, small nails indicate heart disease. Where they are ehort, flat and sunken you may look for nervous disorders. A short nail, pointed almost at the root—that is, almost V-shaped—presages paralysis, Long- nailed men and women are usually more calm, resigned and gentile than short-nalled persons. The long, narrow nail accompa- nies a visionary, artistic and aesthetic na- ture. Frequently this subject reveals a tinge of poetic melancholy, and you rarely see a Man or woman with this type of nail possessed of great muscular strength. On the contrary, you will find short-nailed individuals critical and also logical, with a keen sense of humor and an irrepressible love of the ridiculous. The short-nailed woman will criticise her friends and her foes, but she will criticise herself with the same severity. She is apt to be sarcastic, and sometimes so quick at repartee that she appears almost brutal. The best dra- matic and literary critics are of this type. They are inclined*to be skeptical also. When the short nail is exaggerated so that » “Out! 4 ut, foul spot!” it is broader than ft is long you may look out for a meddling, gossiping nature.

She sighed as ehe placed the last candle, one more than the previous year. How fast these little waxen milestones seemed to multiply. Several years before, when the whole sur- face of the cake was so thickly studded that she could find no place for the new taper, Miss Hancock had paused to ponder. Was not 35 a good age at which to lose count? The temptation was great. But all false pretense was abhorrent to the sturdy Han- cock nature. Prevar.cation even to one’s eclf was not to be tolerated. And what foliy could equal in éeilliness thet of at- tempting to conceal one’s age? The tapers were red, white and blue. The republic and Miss Deborah celebrated the anniversary of their birth upon the game daw. A light tap sounded at the door. Debo- rah carefully locked her pantry door before admitting her visitor. ‘“‘Moth@r wants to know if you won't go over to the picnic with us to-morrow.” ‘‘Me go to the picnic! Why, Ellen Ann. I ain’t been to a picnic for 20 years! Thank your ma, but—” “O, do come, Miss Deb. You know, we're going to celebrate the incorporation of Hil- ton, as well as the Fourth." “Come in and think it over.” With a blush and g'gg.e the gir! cast a backward glance over her shoulder. “I can't come in to-night. But you be ready and we'll stop for you in the morning.” Miss Deborah followed the girl's glance and emiled as she caught sight of a dark ' figure lurking in the shadow of the lilacs by the ferice. “O, it’s Joel,’’ she said. Elien Ann giggled. Perhaps it was the remembrance of her own unfinished romance which made her heart particularly tender toward all lovers. Be that a& it may, she wasthe village con- fidante. Many awkward youths and shy maids blessed her for the kindly way in which she sped their wooing. The next morning, when Ellen Ann's brother with flourish brought his hay wag- on to a stand before Miss Deborah's door, pe found her waiting, lunch basket beside er.

All eyes were upon their illustrious towns- man. Hon. John Smith aid not detain his hear- ers long. He referred to the fact that they were all more eager to attend to the con- tents of their well-filled hampers than to anything he might have to say. He also said that he was anxious to leave the plat- form and come down among them and seek out and shake hands with the old friends. Deborah felt that she must go away by herself and recover her lost equanimity. Seizing upon two pails, she insisted upon going to the spring for water. She started off briskly,’ but behind the firet clump of bushes she cast aside the pails and sat down to give her thoughts full sway. Miss Deborah smiled as she contemplated the mental pictures of her youthful self. There shé stood in her girlish pride, her head saucily atilt, and a mischievous light in her eyes. But thé smile wae quickly fol- lowed by a sigh, as ever faithful memory drew the outline of a tall, aWkward coun- try boy, who stood beside the maid. Ah, now’the girl's lips parted, and, bend- ing her head, Miss Deborah hears the sound of a light laugh. At the sound the youth frowne, then speaks. “Dan Quincy is a common feller, and the irl I've kept steady company with sha'n't ance with him.” Again the girl laughs, and then in mock- ing tone replies: “A common feller, is he?

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JANUARY 12, 1899 =—— — —— THEY ARE AWFULLY SORE OVER HIS DEFEAT AT THE HANDS OF SHARKEY. WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED. The Kid Made a Game and a Great Fight and He Should Take His Beating Gracefully. McCoy's friends are furlous over his de- feat. It is too bad their champion did not get there. He might have won if the had allowed him to use an axe, He would, perhaps, have got there Sharkey worn pillows. His victory would have been certain he worn a coat of armor. He could not haye Jost been prevented from making putting out his tongue at him, It was that little word “if” indeed that did all the mischief and that spoiled every chance McCoy had of winning. a other side had had had and if Sharkey faces To give the devil his due McCoy put up a good, game fight, and no one would have a kick coming at his expense if he would take his beating Jike a man and not try to lay the blame on the shoulders ol the ref- eree~ or any one else. When old Sully fell with his nose in the sand at New Orienas he was picked up by Jack McAuliffe. As soon as he had re- covered his equilibrium he said to Jack: “What happened? What happened, ck?" ony hat happened,’ said Jack. “‘Why you bloimed fool you're knocked out.” “Ie that all,"’ said Sully. ‘1 thought I ll off a bridge.” vg So the crowd yelled for Sully he step- ped to the front, and with a grin he said: ‘The cid) rman went up against it just once too often. He was beaten, but by an American." When Fitz beat Corbett, the Pompadour squealed like a stuck pig and refused to accept his beating gracetully. The world loves a good loser. So if Mc- Coy will dry up and take his medicine as Sully took his ne will not lack for friends, If he sets up a roar such as Corbett did he will soon find himself with few friends as Jim can boast of. McCoy made a game fight and fight in every respect. In the early rounds he had little difficulty in avoiding the onslaughts of the sailor, and he damaged the latter not a little oe keeping out of harm’s way hirr self. Sharkey said after the battle that McCoy could hit as hard as any man he had ever met. Those as a great ‘rho pinned their faith to the Kid figured on his being able to avoid his op- onent throughout the whole of the mill. hey did not expect to see him stop the Sailor, and the knock-downs in the third round came 4s a surprise. McCoy's adherents simply underestimated Sharkey's speed. They knew what their man could do, but they did not figure the other fellow fast enough to corner the artful dodger that McCoy has proved him- self to, be ‘n all his previous battles. Bob Fitzsimmons is now the logical op- ponent for Sharkey, and he must fight him or retire. Jim Jeffries, who has a decision over the sailor to his credit, will probably claim that he is equally as well entitled to first crack at Fitz, but it is pretty generally admitted that the Sharkey of to-day is an improved ‘ fighter by 100 per cent over the Sharkey that fought the Los Angeles giant. Sharkey, as was expected by all who know his work, was untiring in his pur- suit of the shifty and clever Kid. He never for a moment gave the slender, side-step- ping tad a moment’s rest and he showed that to-day he is speedy enough to get to the cleverest of ‘them sooner or later, and that when he does get to his man he ean do a woeful amount of damage in a It was Sharkey's m determination to reach and punish is tantalizing opponent; his stout heart and wonderful endurance under a fire of jabs and hooks that were hard enough to sting and jar and even upset. him—punches that would effectually take the fighting Spirit out of 9 men out of 100—and his ter- rible punishing ability when he finally did Bucceed in cornering his man, that won for him. Tom Sharkey licked and Hcked without leaving an inch of room for an argument—the cleverest fighter of the pres- ent day, anda fighter who showed the dovbters that he can punch hard enough to knock down and stop anybody but a human battering ram. the sailor is en- titled to all credit for his victory. Tuesday night's battle was for a purse of $2,000 and 50 per cent of all the Ae re- ceipts over $40,000, which will make the size of the purse about $30,000. The largest purse ver fought for was that for which Corbett nd Sullivan battled in 1892.

The Stakes Offered Them This Year Richer Than Ever Before. It is pretty well established, with the re- turns all in, that the season of 1898 was the most prosperous that the light-harness tur has enjoyed for several years past, but unless all signs fail 1899 will far exceed it. Just at present big purses seem the order of the day, and the prospect is that the sea- eon of 1899 will see a larger number trotted and paced for than were ever before in a single year. The richest event of the season will be the $20,000 Futurity stake for 3-year- old trotters given by the Horse Review of Chicago. This is really the second division of the origina! stake, which was worth $30,- 000 and of which $10,000 was given to 2-yer- olds last season. Then there is the Futurity of the New England brecders of Boston, worth $10,090, and the Kentucky Matron stake of the Louisville association, worth $7,000, both of which are also for 3-year-olds. The Ken- tucky Futurity at Lexington, as is its an- nual wont, will be worth $15,000, of which 5,000 goes to 2-year-olds and $10,000 to 3- year-olds. For a good many seasons past there have been three annual events that have mo- nopolized the best horses of the year and have become to the trotting turf what the Suburban, Brooklyn = an Metropolitan handicaps are in the thoroughbred world. These are the Merchants’ and Manufactur- ers’ stake at Detroit, Mich.; the Charter Oak at Hartford, Conn., and the Transyl- vania at Lexington, Ky., the first two be- ing worth $10,000 each and the last $5,000.

YOUNG MAN OF THE SENATE. eS The Distinction Which Will Come to Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana on March 4. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Albert J. Bev- eridge, who will have the Senatorial seat of the venerable Turpie after March fourth next, will be the youngest man in the Sen- ate. He owes his sudden rise to high pub- lic office solely to his ability as an orator. He went to Indianapolis in 1886, a youth just out of college, where he had worked his way through. He had néjther money nor influence nor friends. Within ten years he had worked his way to the very front rank at the Indiana bar, and now he has as large an income from his prac- tice as any lawyer in the State. He took an active part in politics, but steadily re- fused nomination after nomination to high State offices until this Senatorial opportu- nity offered. He won in spite of the fact that his colleague-to-be, Mr. Fairbanks, is also from Indianapolis. In Indiana, as in almost all the States, the tradition is never to take the two Senators from the same part of the State. everidge has a handsome, powerful face, dresses with great care in the latest fash- ion, has a frank, open manner and method of speech that suggests that he prefers to be on friendly terms with everybody but would not be disturbed by any prospect of enmities. His friends here predict that he will soon be a national figure. One of the warmest of these friends is Comptroller Dawes, the intimate friend of President McKinley. Visitor From Canada. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian Pre- mier, and’a member of the joint high com- mission, was an interested spectator in the Senate yesterday. He occupied a seat to the left of Senator Davis, and sat throughout the Foraker speech. Sir Wil- frid is a very distinguished appearing a | dividual, tall, stately and dignified. The top of his head is bald, but the back and Sides of his well-formed cranium are cov- ered with a luxuriant growth of hair. Sev- eral times during the course of Mr. For- aker’s remarks the Canadian Premier nod- ded acquiescence. When Mr. Foraker con- cluded, Sir Wilfrid, in company with a group of Senators, passed over to him and extended a congratulatory hand. One of the Most Learned. Senator George Turner of Washington, who came into the Senate two years ago, succeeding Millionaire Squire, is one of the most learned men in the Senate. Although he has not taken a conspicuous part in the proceedings, he has nevertheless been a po- tent force in shaping the course of party legislation. urner is a man of exceptional ability and talent, was a Judge on the bench at Wash- ington, and for many years has had much ta do with affairs in his State. Within a very short time he has accumulated a for- tune from the gold mines of the Cascades and British Columbia, and while he was a poor man five years ago, he is independ- ently rich to-day. Lodge Has a Quiet Way. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu- setts is the most active man in the Senate. Young, vigorous, energetic and popular with his collegues; he is a potent spoke in the Senate’s wheel. The task of counting noses when the sen- timent on any important measure is wanted always devolves upon him. He goés about his work quietly, seeing each Senator, and, without divulging the object of his mission, talks quietly with him until he ascertains the Senator’s views. Just now he is en- gaged in making a quiet poll of the Senate on the peace treaty..§When he has con- cluded he will tip the result of his ob- servations to Chairman Davis and the Re- publican leaders. Shafter Not an Idol. Gen, Shafter is a frequent visitor at the Capitol these days. While he is always cordially greeted, his welcome has never been enthusiastic Shafter-is noc a. popu- lar idol in the minds of Senators and Repre- sentatives. The fact that he. was miles to the rear of the firing line during the bat- tle in and around Santiago, with a chunk of ice on his head and a negro attendant keeping flies from hig ponderous body is well known in Washington. And while the army officers have endeavored to put Shaf- ter forth as the real hero of Santigo, the men who make the laws will not recognize him as a great military hero. He sat in the marble room waiting for Senator Mason while a score or more Sena- tors passed by. Every one who knew him saluted, but no one shook his hand. OTTO MATTIAS A AGAIN. Unknown Man Says He Has Found Senator Wall’s Murderer. CARLINVILLE, Ill, Jan. 12. — Sheriff Fabenkrog hag received the following letter: “Would you like to know where Otto Mattias is” I can locate him. as I know where he is and all about him, but I will need assistance to make the capture. He visited me after the murder. as he and I are good frends, and he told me all and where he was going, but thus far I have not revealed it to anyone, and I «hall con- tinue to keep it as a secret unless I am given assurances that the reward will be paid when he is delivered.

Simpson, member of the State Board of Pharmacy, says he will not resign as requested by Gov. Tanner. “The Governor sent for Messrs. Lender, Kodeman and myself,” he said. ‘‘We did all in our power to convince him that politics should be kept out of our board, but without effect. He demanded the removal of Mr. Fleury and the elec- tion of Mr Kuenster. “I shall not resign, but expect to be re- moved with the entire board.” NEARLY 100 YEARS OLD.

Instead of a contrary effect the venom in- aa my blood, and when coursing through my veins exhilirated me to an untuBual degree. “IT began the practice of having snakes bite me for my pleasure early in my ‘teens.

St. Louis Association of Dryas Clerks 28 234 g2°o It costs much money to produce a play In the style that Richard Mansfield produces “Cyrano de Bergerac.” The statement has been made in good faith that Mr. Mansfield gets no profit until his share of the weekly edg reaches $10,000. This be fberal estimate made to Louls engagement alone, but even in that case the res are amazing. An expendi- ture of $400,000 in a season of @ weeks is no mean sum, when it is considered that the success of the investment nds upon the health of one man. If Mr. Mansfield should be prevented from playing for two or three weeks the losses would eat a dangerous hole in the profits, large as they have been. The receipts for the week in St. Louis will be between $15,000 and $20,000 There is no way of lengning the exact pro- portion of this sum that 1 to the the- ater, but it is probably abou per cent. Say this estimate is correct and the re- ceipts are $16,000, the theater's ghare will be $4000. This leaves $12,000 for the Mansfieid management of which is net profit. If any doubts the expen#ive character of the “Cyrano de Bergerac’ production let him calculate the cost of traveling in a special train with 160 people and tong and tons of baggage and scenery; then count salaries and estimate the perishable pro- Pperties used and add to all the weekly —e of the cost of the original produc- on.

The company had a losing season of 14 weeks and when Manager Garen of Havlin’s cancelled the engagement because the advance agent did not arrive here Mon- day, as he should, the tompany went to pieces. The members blame Frank Arnold, the advance man for not coming in ad- vance instead of waiting to come with them. Among the members of the com- pany who are here are Bernard Diilyn, John T.

Daniels Trying to Prove Fraud in the Divorce. The transcript of the record in the case of Lilyon B. Daniels against William C. Daniels and others wae filed in the United States Court of Appeais Wednesday. The case comes from Colorado and in- volves the $2,000,000 estate of William B. Daniels, a Denver merchant, who died in 1890. The plaintiff was Daniels’ divorced wife and she ie now trying to break his will.. She alleges that, in 1886,. Daniels ob- tained a divorce from her by fraud and deceit. She says as soon as she heard a divorce decree had been granted him, she began proceedings in the Denver courts to have it set aeide. Before the ease could be heard Daniels died. By his will she was entirely excluded from sharing in his property. Before Mrs. Daniels can establish a right to have the will-declared invalid, she will be compelled to show that the divorce was wrongfully obtained. The case will be heard at St. Paul in May.

Won His Wife in South Dakota, Both Are Illinoisans and They Come to, Chicago to Wed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Jan. 12.—Out:in the little town of Blackfoot, in the southeastern portion of and within a few miles of Snake a former United States Senator furnished a home that would many palaces of the Lake Shore on Michigan avenue in this elegance artistic taste and modern equipment this home of former Senator Fred T. Dubois” will make the 700-odd persons who com- ose the total population of the town of jlackfoet open their eyes in astonishment, for while the good people of that estimable municipality are accustomed to all the comforts and good things of life, a mod- ern up-to-date city residence right in their midst is somewhat of an innovation. The cause of it all ja that Fred Dubo's, whose term as the representative of Idaho in the Senate at Washington expired a lit- tle less than two years ago, and who is now in his 48th year, oame to the conclu- sion that much more is to be gained by taking unto himself one who will share life’s fortunes with him than by traveiing the remaining yeare of his life alone. Mies Idaho, River, has rival drive city. In The former Senator wooed and won Sdna Maxfield Whited of Dolan, 8. D whose famiiy, prior to taking up their resi- dence in that place, lived in Mofrison, IL. Mr. Dubois himself is a native of Illinois. He ts a son of Jesse K. Dubois, a friend of President Lincoln's and one of the best known men in the State. The marriage took place this afternoon, the couple com- ing to Chicago for the purpose. The cere- mony was performed by the Pride's brother- in-law, Rev. Hanlan fzanson, at his resi- dence in this city. Mr. Dubois recently confided to h's friends that inasmuch as he had waited until his 48th year to take a wife he intended to “do things up as they should be done.” and that his bride should enter as fine and mod- ern and luxurious a home as could be found in the land, even if the town of Blackfoot about. And yet oe is the extreme op- osite of an ostentatious man; in character 1e is simplicity and democracy itseif? In Washington he was generally regarded as a “royal good fellow,”’ without frills or af- fectation. He was one of the poor men cf the Senate. All he had to live on was his salary. He often said it was politics that kept him a poor man, and that once clear of that fas- cinating game he believed he could make a fortune as quickly as any man that lived, He thas made good his assertion. Leav- ing the United States Senate March 3, 1897, he turned his attention to money making. The small savings he had accumulated were judiciously invested. To-day he is a power in stock raising in the West, and where he formerly possessed the title of ‘“‘Senator,”’ he now bears the title of ‘‘cattle king.’’ For ten days past the former Senator from Idaho and Miss Whited have been in Chi- cago. The bride-elect and future leader of society in the State of Idaho is stopping at the residence of her brother-in-law. Dur- ing their stay here the happy couple have spent each day in the big stores of State street and Wabash avenue, and asa result the express company has been delivering every day or so in the little town of Black- foot great boxes of wonderful things that go to make up a refined and luxurious American home, Although a confirmed bachelor all ‘his life, Mr. Dubois has always ‘“‘kept house.” He has never lived in a hotel or boarding house Although until recently a poor man, he pre- ferred to spend his modest income in main- taining a comfortable home. As far back as his nearest personal friend and confi- dant can remember, his faithful ally in kee ping up his bachelor home was ‘‘Char- ley,’’ a Chinese servant. The devotion of this unusually bright and capable celestia! to the Idaho statesman has not wavered during the many years he has served him Charley” is entirely reconciled to the new order of things the coming marriage will ag aetna = a Dubois homestead, but oval of the st ac rh: of seounaey motives.” ee efore leaving Blackfoot to e bride-elect in Chicago, Mr. Dubois called nis faithful Chinaman to his library and in tactful words gently broke the news to him that there would soon be a mistress of the house. “Charley” looked dazed. The idea seemed too deep for him to fully graep. When the Senator finally succeeded in mak- ing it clear to him he made no comment, but it was evident he was sorrowful. oo inally the Senator, who ts fond of a joke, “Now. about it. lots, Charley, because She'll do feel bad help you shouldn't the girl will the cooking and will help on the washee, and maybe sweep, too.” “Glood!

HAVANA, Jan. 12.—La Discussion de- scribes the finding of 50 human skeletons in | a well on a plantation near Manguito. The writer of the story asserts that these peo- ple were undoubtedly thrown in while alive. He says that in some cases the finger bones ure severed and the supposition is that this was due to the efforts of the victims to raise themselves out of the pit. The body of Senor Pedro Alayon, a promi- nent Cuban, who disappeared mysteriously bo the insurrection, has been identi- ed. La Discussion accuses the guerrilla chief, Antio Ries, Sergt. Jean Peres and Vicenta Salgo, a schoolmaster, of being the authors of the terrible crime. All are said to be in Havana. La Discussion prints also a story from Matanzas of the finding there of. the re- mains of from 100 to 200 parsons in a well near the headquarters of thé civil guard, CHARGES AGAINST A NEGRO. — He Is Accused of Having Stolen a Hat From a Store.

These minions of the law have raised valuations in this city $421,- 612,876 over last year. More than three- quarters of this raise is in New York City proper. The budget of appropriations is so great, however, that the tax rate will also have to be raised from $2.01 per $100 to $2.60 per $100. Taken by boroughs the increased assess- ments are: Manhattan (old New York) Brooklyn Queens Bronx 25 per cent Richmond (Staten Island) 67 per cent The great office buildings are among the hardest hit. The Equitable is assessed at six millions, an increase of two millions; New York Life, three millions, an increase of one million; Exchange Place, increase one million; Washington and St. Paul, half miilion increase each; New Herald Bulid- ing, one mililon, an increase of a quar- ter of a million; Pulitzer Building, one and a half millions, an increase of six hundred thousand; Fifth Avenue Hotel, three mil- lions, an increase of eight hundred thou- sand: Waldorf-Astoria, three and a half millions, increase one and a quarter mil- lions. Theaters and residences are in- creased in similar proportion. The grand total of assessments for Great- er New York is $3,464,000, which, if not re- duced, and the proposed $2.60 tax rate stands, there will be $75,424,000 taxes collect- ed this year. 17 per cent “No trouble to show goods” at the Illl- nois Central City Ticket Office.

A portrait of Emperor Francis Joseph, which his Majesty presented to the regi- of the occa- ment, was unveiled during the dinner. Practice Continue. | SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 12.—In a state- ment issued in reply to the declaration of President Snow of the Mormon Church that polygamy is no longer practiced in the State, the Ministers’ Association says: “This statement from President Snow is the statement of an avowed polygamist, who has been advocating and practicing palygamy for over 3 years, and who is nfw trying to avert the terrible storm of righteous indignation that is beginning to sweep over the country because the Mormon people have recently cappd the climax of political defiance of the American people by electing a notorious poiygamist to Con- grese,”’ The statement declares that President Snow's statement that the Mormon Church is not encourag ng or teaching polygamy is at variance with the facts, as those who live in Utah well know. In reply to President Snow's denial that any plural marriages have been solemnized since the anti-polygamy manifesto was pro- mulgated, the min sters designate certain prominent officials, who, they declare, have taken plural wives within the last eight years. In regard to the election of B. H. Roberts to Congress. the ministers declare that his nomination was brought about through the ‘influence of high officials of the Mormon Church. It is also denied that there has been a separation of church and state in tah, and numerous instances of church interference in political affairs are cited. The atatement closes with an attack upon the Mormon Church creed, claiming that It teaches that Adam is God; that he tis a polygamist, who is now living with his plural wives in heaven; that Jesus Christ if a polygam st; that he was the natural eon of a polygamist, and that the Holy Ghost is a tiuld resembling electricity.

Clark, Judge Melntire has called a grand jury to investigate the sen- sationat charges of bribery made by State Senator Whiteside, who turned over ® bills of the denomination of $1000 each, eaying they were given to him to buy votes for Mr. Clark for United States Senator. The There has in the corrupt jury will be charged Saturday. so far been no other development situation. Concerning the alleged use of money, Mr. Clark makes the follow- ing #@tatement: “The proceedings of money on the part of our opponents ts the reswult of a conspiracy formed for the purpose of defeating me for the United taken and the exhibit States Senate, and we demand a speedy, BIG FOUR ROUTE thorough and non-partisan Investigation by @ grand jury.” Marcus Daly, the chief opponent of Cigars, is in New York.

Facts Come Out at Last in the Noted Case of Murder in Dallas. DALLAS, Tex., Jan. 12.—Testimony giv- en yesterday in the Erwin habeas corpus case presented the first public statement of the alleged reason for the killing of Col. I. G. Randle by H. P. Erwin in this city on Dec. 19 last. Thomas Turney of Forney, Tex., testi- fied that he came to Dallas on Dec. 38 with Erwin, ‘at \the request of the latter, who stated that his business in Dallas was to collect a balance of $360 due him from Randle for burning the Eakins homestead on South Harwood street, in Dallas, the full price for the job being $500, of which sum Randle had paid him only $14. Tur- ney swore that he went to Randle for Erwin and demanded the payment of the Randle became enraged, Turney sai, denied the truth of the alleged transaction with Erwin. and denounced the affair as a scheme of blackmail. When he reported the result of the In- terview to Erwin, the latter became an- gry. declared he had not authorized Tur- ney to see Randle for him, and assaulted Turney with his fists. Turney also testified that he was once iIn- dicted in Southern Texas for killing a ne- gro and that Randle had befriended him in that trouble. Sheriff Cabell testified that several months previous to the killing, Erwin called on him and stated that he wished to have Randle prosecuted for arson; that he had burned a house for Randle and the latter had not treated him right. Sheriff Cabell told Erwm to get his charges supported by reliable testimony and take the matter before the County Attorney; that as he (Erwin) was an ex-convict. his unsupported testimony would be worthless. Erwin agreed to do, this, but Sheriff Ca- bell heard no more om him. J. M. Skelton, Justice of the Peace, tes- tifled that on the day of the killing Er- win called at his office and wanted to prefer charges of arson against Randle. Randle was one of the wealthiest men of Dallas and became notorious through- out Texas. The Eakins homestead was one of the costliest in Dallas. Randle got pos- session of the property several years ago, The house was burned in 1896 and Randle collected $14,000 insurance. WANT A LOAN OF $40,000,000. Gen. Jose Gomez Is Needed to Pay Cu- ban Troops and Resume Im- provements, WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Referring to the report that the Cuban Commissioners in Washington have been advised by the Uni- ted States authorities that an appropriation may be used to pay the Cuban soldiers now in arms and have the army disbanded, Gen. Jose Gomez, one of the members, says: “To remunerate the brave soldiers of our army, and to begin the work of making many pubiic improvements $40,000,000 would not be more than sufficient, There would be ar no risk un- dertaken by the American Government in advancing such a loan to the Cuban people. The American Government has absolute control of the customs of all the ports of Cuba, and will continue to exercise the right of collecting them, so long as it may deem proper. There is no way for Cuba to obtain a loan from private Individuals, by the sale of bonds or otherwise, go long as the American Government imposes and collects all the revenues of the island.” Gen, Gomez stated that he had been ad- vised that @ syndicate of Spaniards had been organized and is now contemplating making the American authorities on the island the offer of a large sum of money in ayment for a license to continue running otteries. The grounds upon which this license is asked is that the Cuban people are deeply interested and approve of such business. On the other hand, Gen. Gomez declares that the lottery schemes have robbed the Cubans, especially many of the poorer opanes, “oe of their hard earn- ngs, an at the Cubans ar the lottery go. © eine to ses NINE PRISONERS BREAK JAIL.

Thrasher Mead, the Notorious Missis- sippi Criminal, Again Under Arrest. ENTERPRISE, Miss., Jan. 12.—Thrasher Mead, the burglar who blew up the Post- office at Enterprise with dynamite Mon- day night, one of the most notorious and desperate criminals in the country, was ar- rested in Mobile and brought back to En- terprise yesterday, but not until after a desperate fight with the officers, A large quantity of postage etamps, blank money orders and $1138 in cash, stolen from the safe, were recovered. Thrasher Mead has a criminal record that is hardly second to that of the notorious Rube Burrows. For nearly ten years he has infested the railroads of Mississippi and Alabama, and is known to have been intimately connectcd with a band of negro robbers in Chicago. Mead broke into the Postoftice at Ackerman, Migs., in the latter part of 1896, and was arrested and taken to the jail at Aberdeen. He sawed his way out in December, 1896, and was next heard of in Chicago. In 1897 he was arrested at Jacksonville, Fla., and taken to Kosctusko. Miss. While there he formed a conspiracy with trusties, who were allowed outside of the cage, and they overpowered and choked Sheriff McMillan, and escaped with six others. Mead.is known to have been implicated in five train robberies, and the Southern Express Co. has proof™ that he blew open safes in their offices at Aberdeen and Durant, Miss., during the past year. He has escaped from 21 jails, and once from the Alabama penitentiary, since he began his criminal career. The Postoffice Department and the express companies of- fered large rewards for his arrest, and the officers who effected his capture will receive several thousand dollars. oe miles east of Pittsburg.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Though seeking to convey the impression that there is no danger of serious friction in the Philip- pines, Administration officials can not dis- guise their dread in the approaching crisis. The President’s one hope is that the con- servative insurgents may be persuaded to accept American control and influence the more rabid rebels. \ The greatest danger is at MA nila. Should Aguinaldo concentrate his forces to resist United States sovereignty there will be a conflict. Gen. Otis’s dispatches have re- lated more to the situation at Manila than at lloilo, although the latter place ostensi- bly has been the seat of trouble. This confirms the belief that the President is more anxious about Aguinaldo than Iloilo. Gen. Ot!s is seeking to conciliate Aguin- aldo. He hag notified the War Depart- ment of the conference at Manila, and his “comforting news’’ of yesterday related to it. Administration officials fear a clash with the rebels might show that the American position in the Far East is untenable. As a display of force at Iloilo might in- cite the natives throughout the islands, the orders to Gen. Miller have been modi- fied by the President, so as to continue the “waiting game.’ WHAT IS GERMANY DOING? Report That Prince Henry Is Backing | Up Aguinaldo. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Not much cred- | ence is given the report that Prince Henry of Germany is backing up Aguinaldo. But it is realized that it is in the power of auy European government as soon as the} aris treaty is ratified to recognize the Filipinos as belligerents, and thus deeply complicate the problem this nation has to solve. According to the rumor from Hong Kong, Prince Henry orders the German Consul at Hong Kong to seid word to the German Consuls or cousular agents at Manila, Lloilo and Malolos to assure Aguinaldo and other insurgent chiefs of the determination of the German Government to aid the Fili- pinos in securing all they ask for from the Americans, The Germans say they want only a coal- ing station, either from Aguinaldo, or else by Aguinaldo making peace with the Americans and insisting on Germany hav- ing one, but they desire to secure a pro- tectorate at least. The feeling in the Ger- man colony in Hong Kong Is very bitter against the Americans. PRATT WANTS DAMAGES. He Was Permanenily Injured by Fall- ing From a Wagon.

Fight for a Constitutional Convention, However, Has Been Begun in Both Houses. SPRINGFIELD, I), Jan. 12.—No business of importance will be transacted by the Legislature this week. The committees will not be announced before Tuesday. The fight for a constitutional convention has begun. Senator Case and Represetative Newcomer introduced a resolution, provid- ing for the submission to the people, at the general election in 1900, of the question of calling such a convention. The House Committee on Rules has pre- pared rules for the government of the House during the present session. No ma- terial change wae made in the rules of the last House. The list of committees was abridged by eliminating the committees on Senatorial and judicial apportionment. Tre ereation of a special committee on street Trailways was discuseed, but it was decided to leave the matter to be settled by a Tesolution of the House.’ It is proposed to keep expenses down to the minimtim point this session. Upon Gov. Tanner's Sherman of the House and president tem. Warder of the Senate and Senators Berry, Busse and Campbell yesterday con- ferred at length with the Governor and Secretary of State Rose. The Governor stated that it was the desire of the admin- istration that the expenses of the General Assembly be curtailed as much as possible this year. Senator McAdams introduced a hill pro- viding for an exhibit of Tlinois corn and corn products at the Paris Exposition. It creates a commission of three members, to ‘be appointed by the Governor, who shall make the exhibit. They are to receive $2000 each for their services and expenses. ‘Lhe bill carries with it an appropriation of <4,- ‘000 to cover the cost of making the exhibi- tion. Among other bills introduced in the Sen- ago, is in the hospital recovering from an ,o eration to remove a needle embedded in the walla of her stomach. The needle was ‘the third to be removed from the young Woman's body, two others having been taken out last March. The Roentgen rays have revealed the presence of seven more. Miss Walshlager Says that two years ago she was an inmate of a convent in Germany, where she had been put by her mother when the latter emigrated to the United States. Miss Walshlager frequently broke the rules of the institution. and, according to her story, Was told to prick herself with a needle for each breach of propriety. The girl tried to carry out these instructions, but her courage failed her, so she arranged a number of needles in the belt of her shirt- waist in such a manner that the sharp points would pierce her whenever’ she moved. She endured this, she says, for several months, then, unable to bear it longer, ran away, and with the aid of friends came te Chicago, where her mother lives. It is supposed that the needles worked their way into the young woman's flesh while punishing herself in this novel manner’, After the seven needles already located” are removed, another skiagraph determine if any more Speaker pro request, will be taken to meedies remain. JUST THE WORK OF GOSSIPS. Miss Le Compte Sets at Rest Rumors About a Warrenton Romance. Some one with circulating a rumor which the interested parties declare untrue, that Dr. Rudolph Kammerer, a veterinary surgeon, and Miss Suean Le Compte of De Hodiamont, were quietly marr.ed in Warrenton, Mo., on Dec. i, 1898 annoying persistency is A ; To all callers—and there have been many —Miss Le Compte, who resides at 6044 Hor- ton place, has denied the story, and asked that congratulations be suspended. They will be more appropriate on and after Jan. 24, when her sister, Miss Marie Le Comnte, ‘will wed Mr. De Barge, the engagement having been formally announced. “Why, that etory is absurd,” Miss Susan Le Campte. “I've never been in’ Warrenton in my life. I have no enemy trat am aware of who would circulate such an untruth. Dr. Kammerer is an old friend of our family, a most estimable young man.” MISS KATHERINE E. OLIVER.

RAISED ON GRASS AND HAY. Denver Will Introduce the New Idea of Trading in Cattle by Sample. —S ———————— DENVER. Colo., Jan. 12.—Great interest is being manifested throughout the West over the coming meeting of the stockmen here during the week of Jan. 23: Besides the Nat'onal Live Stock Convention a range cattle exhibition is to be held at the stock yards, the first exhibition of the kind ever held in the country. Already there have been over thirty cars of cattle entered, and the indications are that there will be about sixty carloads of calves, yearlings and 2- year-old steers. These cattle are range bred and have rever tasted any feed but grass and hay. In addition to the cattle for exhibition it is expected that there will be a large number of stockers and feeders here for sale and arrangements have been made for an exhibition of thoroughbred bulls also. A large number of cattle feeders and range:nen are expected to be present and a new feature in the cattle business will be cattle trading by sample. Most of the cattle on exhibition will be samples of big herds on the range and the owners will try to contract their cattle by showing the sample lots. The cattle for exhibition are coming from ‘all the Western cattle States included in the Rocky Mountain country. It is expected that there will be a strug- gle in the National Convention for the location of the meeting next year. Among the cities that will be in the field for the location are Chicago, St. Paul, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Joseph, San Antonio, Fort Worth and Salt Lake City. Denver has had the meeting for years and will not be a candidate year, A large attendance of stockmen and railroad men are expected from all parts of the country and especially from the West- ern range country. Many of the stock- men are coming here as much for the purfiose of trading as for the pleasure of attending the convention and the cat- tle trade for the season of 1899 will be opened at that time. There is much in- terest to know how Southern cattle wi! sell, as there will be a big demand from the Northwest this year and at the ~res- eni time there is a difference.of nearly $5 per head between what the buyers want 10 pay and what the Southern breeders de- mand. Prices will probably reach a basis dur- ing the convention, JUST LIKE A PLOT IN A NOVEL Young Woman Discovers That the Man She Was to Wed Is Her Brother. iwo this Special to the Post-Dispatch. NASHUA, N. H., Jan. 12.—A few days ago there was a family reunion in this city such as is seldom heard of outside the pages of a novel or on the stage. The people interested are Mrs. William FE.

He proposed and was accepted last Christmas Day, and when her parents’ consent was asked she was told she was an adopted daughter, but her foster parents did not know whose daughter she really was. An investigation was made, and found that she is the girl Roee, the eder Mr. White rlaced out in _ 1871. When this fact became known _the girl fainted. She was the sister of the man she was about to wed. Further inquiries revealed that an elder sister is Mrs. Davis who was adopted by an uncle also in 1871. The family reunton followed.
