VOL. 50 NO. 158 PETTING AT THE SWORN FIGURES, Certified Statements in Mul- lanphy Bank Case. MARKED DISCREPANCY SHOWN. THE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS CALLED UPON TO EXPLAIN. Startling Testimony Produced in the Civil Suit for $250,000 Now Pending ~ Before a Court Referee. Since the doors of the Mullanphy Bank were closed, Feb. 27, 1897, there have been many developments of unusual interest sug- gesting negligence or worse in the manage- ment of the affairs of the bank. All of these developments have been significant, but mone of them conclusive. . The discovery of falsified bank statements, of which the Post-D-spatch told exclusively Friday, has interested Receiver Stone and his counse!] and the depositors. The statements are regarded by the re- ceiver’s counsel as the misé6ing links in the evidence. They are expected to elicit an ‘expjanation from President Rottmann, Cashier Kammerer and the directors who aitested them ‘as correct. Gov. Stone and his counsel rely on them more than anvthine else to win the geuit for $250,000 against the directors. What further confusion the documents may bring to the bank officers and direc- tors will rest with the depos.tors., Gov. Stone does not regard it incumbent upon him as receiver to lay evidence before the grand jury. ' A number of the larger depositors: have had the intention all along of laying before the grand jury the evidence brought out in the civ.) proceedings. The discovery of the alleged falsified statements will no doubt contirm their intention. The sworn statements are peculiar. In every bank a general balance book is kept, in which is set down in itemized form the exact condition of the bank at the close of each day’s business. The statements for- warded to the Secretary of State are pre- fumed to be copied verbatim from the en-.- oe of even date in the general balance ok, On April 22, 1893, -a statement of the bank’s condit.on was drawn up in which there Were discrepancies from the general bal- ance book. few minutes’ comparison by. even a frson not familiar with bank books would ave resulted in the discovery that: the Sworn etatement gave the deposits as $118,- 0147.57 more than the general balance book and the total assets as $100,779.9 more than the general balance book. It would have been seen at a glance that whiie the statement gave $9,932.41 overdrafts by solvent: customers, there was no entry of overdrafts at all on the general balance book. But by turning to the individual ceamer 3 weenie have been seen almost as readily that the ovedr: rere kt gy irafts on that day were Cushier Kammerer swore that the state- ment Was correct; President Rottmann swore it was correct, and Directors E\}- brecht, Klages and Marks attested under Oath that it was correct. The possibility is suggested that the gen- men were too conscientious to certify the $117,941.28 as overdrafts by “solvent” cus- tomers, when $87,570 of the overdrafts had ~ seme own Bod the Consumers’ Coal Co. chwartz ros. Commissio : Nolte & Dalch Fertilizer Co. «gloat ats The individual ledger shows that on April 22, 1893, when the overdrafts Were certified to the Secretary of State as $9932.41 there was an ovedraft of $34,901.53 to the Consum.- ers’ Coal Co.,, one of $24,461.93 to the Nalte & Dalch Disinfectant Co., and one of $28,- a to. the Schwartz Bros. Commission At the last day’s hearing another state- ment was introduced in evidence which Was only referred to in Friday’s exclusive story. : It- pretended to give the exact condition of the bank on Sept. 16. 1893. It gave the loans that day as $825,108.15. The general balance book gives them on that date as $746,386.68, a discrepancy of $78,716.47. It gave the deposits as $872,703 51. The gen- eral balance books gave them as $777,284.74 Pa ecrepancy Of $95,418.77. a eS Rave the overdrafts as $2316.80 y overdrafts were entered in or eee balance book. Overdrafts of $90,963.98 were entered in the in lividual balance book. The discrepancy between the Statement and the individual balance book Was $88,647.18. On this date there were overdrafts recorded in the individual balance boek of $47,101.11 by the Consumers’ Coal Co., and $20,805.50 by the Schwartz Bros’. Commission Co.

The Hanover | National Bank was the New York corre- spondent of the Mullanphy Bank. That Is, {it cashed Mullanphy paper. The Mullan- phy would be presumed to have money always on deposit at the Hanover, or be indebted to it on account of money paid out on Mullanphy paper. But there is an en- try on Sept. 16 that the Hanover owed the Mullanphy $7894.33. The ease with which the discrepancies might have been discovered is shown bY the fact that no pains were taken to ever have the footings on the statements and on the genera) balance book agree. The footing on the April 22 statement was he org On the ort. balance book or that day it Was $1,373,019.82, a discrep- ancy of $99,759.75. _— The footing on the Sept. 16 statement was $1,133,589.45. On the general balance book for that’ day it was $1,063,889.51, a discrep- ancy of $69,699.94. Under the law all overdrafts should be entered on the general balance book as assets. For ten years this was not done in the Mullanphy Bank, although = small amounts of overdrafts were always certi- fied to the Secretary of State. It is said all the sworn statements filed in the office of the Secretary of State from April 22, 18938, to the time the bank was closed were as glaringly incorrect as the two which have been introduced in the hearings before Referee Seddon. Nine certified copies of statements are in the possession of Gov. Stone and his at- torneys They are said to contain dis- crepancies as startling as those in the two which have been introduced, but the figures cannot be obtained until they are given in evidence. This important testimony was only dis- covered by Gov. Stone’s attorneys a short time ago. Omissions found on the general balance book by one of Gov. Stone’s as- sociates suggested to him that the bank statements might have been falsified. Cer- tifled copies were obtained from the Sec- retary of State and the discrepancies im- mediately discovered. Until the statements were introduced be- fore Referee Seddon the defendants and their counsel did not know they were in Gov. Stone’s possession. Their introduc- tion created great surprise and some con- sternation. The purpose of the suit is to recover $250,000 from the directors on the ground they are accountable for its loss to the de- positors. The directors sued are Fred S. Bolte, Casper Gestring. Conrad Kellers- mann, H. Klages, Joseph Marks, J. H. Rottmann, Charles Schumacher, J. H. Jo- hanning and-John G. Brinkmeyer. Director G. H. Elbrecht is now deceased. There is a formidable array of legal talent in the case. Gov. Stone, the re- ceiver, himself a lawyer, is represented by Granville S. Hoss and D, C. Reeves. Geo. ’. Lubke appears for Rottman, Klages, Bolte, Marks and Schumacher. Henry Clover appears for Gestring and Kellers- mann. G. A. Finkelnburg and Paul Coste appear for Johanning and Brinkmeyer.

Katie Vazies’ father is a coal dealer. Their home it at 2001 Carr street. A few weeks ago she was forwarded to the City Hospital for observation, owing to sym- toms of mental disorder that had been more pronounced since Thanksgiving day. The young woman met a man named Joe ata party that night and he made quite an impression on hér. In lucid intervals she would moan continually for Joe and her family has made every effort to trace the man in the hope that it will affect a res- toration. They have not succeeded and it may be that he is simply a-creation of her mind. The young -wonan has again been sent to the hospital for treatment. DEATH OF EDWARD P. KINSELLA Veteran Merchant of the Coffee Trade Passed Quietly Away Satur- day Morning. Edward P. Kinsella, the well-known cof- fee and spice dealer, died at his home, 4232 West Pine boulevard, at 6 o'clock Satur- day morning. The late Mr. Kinsella had been in ill- health several years. Four years ago he re- signed his position as Treasurer of the Hanley-Kinsella Coffee and Spice Co and took a long rest, passing two years abroad. When he returned, however, he was still in poor health and did not resume his old po- sition. Nevertheless he was at the office every morning, and in spite of his age he looked after his business. He passed 90 vears of his life in the coffee and splice business, hav- ing been in the employ of several well- known firms. He came to St. Louis in 1864 from Cleveland, O., where he had been em- ployed by an iron manufacturing company. During hs residence in St. Louis he has given thousands of dollars to the poor.

She was well dressed and appeared to be young, and spoke like a refined woman. She observed much mystery and seemed to be extremely nervous. She demanded a private conference with the officer of the law, and without divulg- ing any names she told her story to him. ‘I belong,” she said, “to a well Known family in this city. I have been accus- tome to every comfort and never had to Want for anything within tne bounds of reason. My parents are indufgent, but if they Knew I had got into this trouble l couid never face them again. ihree months ago a young man who is a clerk in a railway orice and lives in tne West kind asked me to marry him. ‘He sa:d Wwe wouid have to keep the matter secret as he was afraid of the opposition of both families. He promised that after a wniie we could announce the wedding. I didn’t Want to agree to this, it seemed underhand, but I never suspected any wrong in it and I finally consented. “On Nov. 3 we went before a man who has an office on the second floor of a building in North St. Louis—I think in the neighborhood of St. Louis avenue and Six- teenth street. J remember that, because we took a Mound City car on Ninth street. “The man I suppose is my husband said this man was a justice of the peace—a friend of his—and that anywhere else the record of the marriage would be published. “I thought for a long time that we had been legally married. We returned to our respective homes, but we met frequently. “I asked him several times to announce the matter. He put me off. Finally I had a little quarrel with him and said that he muést be ashamed of me. ‘This made him angry, or at least he pre- tended that it did, and he left me. “Since then I have not seen him, I wrote, but received no answer. ‘‘Now, I don’t know what to do; I have no proof, as he kept all the papers, and he knows that if I had the truth published it would hurt me as much as him. “If you can give me a warrant against him and keep the names.from being made public, I think he will come back to me.’’ Mr. Bradens, with as much gentleness as possible, told the young woman that he could issue no warrant for wife abandon- ment without maBing it public. Besides, she had no positive proof of her marriage. He advised her to go to see the man and demand that he live up to his word. The woman left the office even more ner- vous and excited than when she had come in. She would not discuss her plans. “That poor creature has been deccived,”’ said Mr. Bradens, ‘“‘and has no recourse. I don’t know of a fate mean enough for the fellow who betrayed her. I would like to know his name. I think she will come here again.” When the visitor left the Four Courts ehe boarded a south bound Union Depot car. JAMAICA ISLAND SHAKEN UP.

JUDGE CLARK HAS AN OPINION. CITY COUNSELOR sCHNURMACH- ER INDORSES THE VIEW. That Is, That Nobody but the Grand Jury Can Now Investigate the Court of Correction Clerk’s Office. From developments in the Wagenmaa case Saturday it is evident to a few that a Clerk of the Court of Criminal Correction may steal with impunity and both hands, so long as he staves off discovery unt.l after the end of the term during which he may have enriched himself from the public purse. Mr Schnurmacher, Counselor of the City of St. Louis, looked up the law in the case for Mayor Ziegenhein and delivered his opinion that Judge Clark is right in his position that no matter how many thous- ands of dollars may have been diverted from the safe of the court prior to his election, he has: no jurisdiction over the subject, Mr. Schnurmachers opinion makes it the grand jury’s next “say.”’ No person or court has authority, according to this opin- ion, to order an ravesrapetios of the busi- né:s of Wagenman’'s office prior to Dec. 1, 1898. wher Judge Clark ascended the bench. hatever agenman did or did not do durirg hig first term as clerk, was the action of Wagenman No. 1, Judge Mur- phy had jurisdiction over him and when the metalic magistrate retired from tne bench any crookedness that may have ex- isted in the clerk's office was free from ex- posure, save by criminal proceedings. By the same token, being Mr Schnur- macher’s opinion, the Mayor and all others at the City Hall and elsewhere are ab- solved from responsibility to order an ! vestigation. There is joy in the heart the City Hall officeholder and a sparkl@ in his eye—Al Wagenman will not be sus- pended or investigated. , ‘I’ve got nothing to do with it,” says Julius urzburger. We've got nothing to do with it,” says “How do you know you have nothing to do with it—because the office is in a dif- ferent building?” the Mayor was asked. “No, we wouldn’t say that; just say that we've got nothing to do with it,”’ feplied the Mayor. “‘What was Mr. Schnurmacher’s interpre- tation of the law in the matter, given after your order for the same?’ “I didn’t order it. I didn’t know any- thing about Schnurmacher. We've got nothing to do with the Wagenman case; that is all we have to say.” The goesip which politicians laugh over is that as soon as the expose of alleged thievery in Wagenman’s office was made Wurzburger and the Mayor leaped for «hel- ter from the impending shower of odium through political affiliation and official al- nce “The City Counselor, that wise man of the administration,” says one of the poll- ticlans, ‘“‘was crdered forthwith to look up the law and find refuge for Wurzturger and the Mayor, The discovery made yes- terday that ‘We've got nothing to do with it’ made Wurzburger and the Mayor throw Wagenman overboard lke a bag of sand ballast: let him sink or swim or do what- ever he may.” The same gossiper relates that one week ago, when Wagenman called at Collector Wenneker's Office and that official called Wurzburger in to hear the confeas'ons of a man in trouble. ‘We’ were much worr'ed and remained in that condition. It ts the theory that the worry was about how to keep the thing quiet for the greater glory of the Ziegenhe'n machine. “We remained worried, but never thought of the law until public'ty came. Then it was sought for pro- tection, and promptly furnished. ’ Extracts from the etatutes bearing on the case, made by Mr. Schumacher, follow: The Judge of the Court of Criminal Correction only has authority to investigate the Clerk's office.

SATURDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JANUARY 25, 1899 _ WHITECOTTON ~HAS GONE HOME, At Present the Governor Ts in Smiling Mood. ~ FILIPINOS HAD HIM WORRIED. THIS INDICATED BY HIS LETTER OF DENOUNCEMENT. oe re Considerable Feeling Arousec by the Bailure - of Hohenschild and Majors to Get Committees They Wanted. epevlal to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 21.—Inter- est in the Legislature was divided yester- day between the Governor’s office and the Senate. »* From the Governor’s office proceeded &a statement in denunciation of Representa- tive Whitecotton and his Filipino move- ment that has been the talk of the mem- bere since, Whitecotton and the in a much similar way Sion two years ago, and liked each other since. mate a personal fight candidacy for Speaker. Whitecotton was defeated, and he immediately about putting himself in a position to ‘‘get even’ when the opportunity offered. He organ- ' ized the Filipinos, and with 16 or 18 votes étood ready to knock on the head any lez- islation which would reflect any glory on the Speaker or add anything to the power or patronage of the Governor. He did not hesitate to announce that he would oppose any legislation that tended to put the local affairs of the cities any more in the hands of the Governor. Finally he let a Republican paper inter- view h.m on the subject. He clainis the Republican paper mgsquoted him. At any rate, it made him say that he was in con- trol of the House. This is the part of the interview he claims is incorrect. his was the Governor's chance. He im- mediately wrote ae statement based on Whitecoton's alleged interview, in which he took several hard falls out of the Fil- ipino leader. Whitecotton replied briefly and contemptuously, and then packed his valise and hied himself to Monroe County. And the Governor smiles. The significant feature of this fuss is that the Governor considered the Filipino move. ment important enough to trouble himself over denouncing its leader. Governor clashed during the ses- they have not The Governor on Whitecotton’s set Interest was attracted to the Senate the announcement of the Lieutenant-Gov- ernors committees. After they were an- nounced it became evident that they had not been made up without much worriment to the Lieutenant-Governor. Then the Story came out, which was told in the Post-Dispatch yesterday. Senators Major and Hohenschild, who are very close to the administration, had been disappointed, and the latter was so chagrined that he could not refrain from protesting to the Lieuten- ant-Governor. It was understood among the Senators that Wilson was to get the Revision Committee. Notwithstanding the fact that he had secured the chairmanship of the most important committee of the Senate, that which will investigate St. St. Louis affairs, Major coveted the Re- vision Committee, and made a demand for it. Hohenschild wanted the Appropria- tions Committee, and he and Major joined forces and went at the Lieutenant-Gover- nor hammer and tongs. Major succeeded apparently in getting what he wanted, but Hohenscild missed. Thursday night other Senators learned what was going on and set to work to undo the work of their two colleagues. They Succeeded, and Wilson Fot the Revision Committee. There is considerable feeling among the Senators ova this matter. They feel that when Major and Hohenschild got on the Lexow Committee, which may make them famous, they. should. have been content. DIAMOND JOHN STILL SMILES. Nevertheless, He’ll Keep Closer Watch on Improvident Borrowers. Special to the Post-Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 21.—Rep- resentative “Diamond” John Smith of St. Louis is the “angel” of that part of the clerical force that comes from St. Louis. He is a little in doubt about whether he will continue the role. Like most “angels” he doesn't find it profitable. — None of the clerks received an the State until Thursday. Louis found in John a friend in need. He knows all about lending money and 10 per cent a ant ig one such things, although he vows that in this case he didn’t ¢ boys anything. a He staked the St. two or three wee the paid. ward. by y pay from Those from St. Louis clerks during the ks they were here before ghost walked. Thursday they were They didn’t find John right after- They found the official crap game that is a fixture in the capital instead. They had all heard of craps and were anx- ious to see what it was like.

SEEKS HER WIDOW'S PENSION, Lost It by Marriage and Being Di- vorced Now Asks That the Pen- sion Be Renewed. Mrs. Sophia A. Dieder‘ch of 4259 Fair ave- nue, who was divorced from John Miller recently, is trying to have the pension wWnich she lost by her marriage with Miller, re- newed. Mrs. Diederich is the widow of Hehry Diederich, a brave soldier, who received many wounds during the Mexican War and was killed during the Civil War. In 1870 she was awarded a pension of $12 a month by the Government, and continued to draw it until 1874, when she met and married Miller. The marriage stopped the pension. According to her story, D‘ederich soon began to treat her unkindly, and eventually failed to make any provision Whatever for her support. She saye she subsequently learned he had another wife and that he spent all his wages for her benefit. She separated from him, but did not file a divorce suit until last year, She claims now that she hus been di- vorced from Miller she is entitled to the pension which she was receiving when she married him. Congressman Joy has prom- ised to render her any assistance ‘n his power. Mrs. Diederich was at the marriage Hi- cense office Saturday searching the- records for the maiden name of Miller's other wife. As licenses have been issued to several John Millers her search did not y:eld any gatis- factory results. HRS.

WILL CALLTHE BOSSES T0 ORDER, — City Democratic Committee Meets Saturday Night. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AT WAR PRIMARY ELECTION TO NAME PRECINCT COMMITTEEMEN. Jefferson Club and Executives May Try to Unite Against the City Committee’s Plan of Hold- ing an Election. The signs portend a torrid period at the Jefferson Club Saturday night. A meeting of the Democratic City Central Committee is to be held. It will begin at 8 o'clock | Nobody can tell when it will end. The purpose of the meeting is to arrange for holding primary elections in each of the 426 precincts of the city on Feb. 7, from 8 to 10 o'clock, for the purpose of electing a member of the City Central Committee from each precinct, A difference exists as to the manner of selecting a new City Central Committee. One party, apparently constituted of a ma- jority, wants to have the committeemen elected by the voters of each ward, and have these select the members of the Executive Committee. An element in the Executive Committee, with a following of uncertain proportions, -wants to have the primary elections held under the State pri- mary election law, the voters to select the members of the Executive Committee and these to appoint the precinct committee- men. In the old times the members of the Ex- ecutive Committee were elected at a City Cor vention and they appointed the precinct committeemen The appointive power gave the Executive Committee other powers, The arrangement was not satisfactory. There was a revolt against the committee. The State Central Committee was called upon to come to St. Louis and deal with the situation. The State Committee came in January, 1897, and met at the Planters’. A temporary reorganization of the City Central Commit- tee was effected by adding one new member from each ward and nine at large, to neu- tralize the condition in the committee. The State Committee provided for se- lecting new precinct committeemen on the first Tuesday :n February by primary meet- ings, the precinct committeemen eo elected to effect precinct organ‘zations by the elec- tion of chairmen, secretary and treasurer and two members to represent the precinct committee on the Executive Committee. The present City Central Committee was select- ed in this way two years ago, and the cen- tral committeemen named the Executive Committee. The State Committee at the same time recommended, it is contended by the one side, that in the future central committee- men should be chosen by the voters at pri- marv elections. The rules of the City Central Committee provide for the holding of these primary elections, and the duty of calling a meeting to arrange for the primary elections is placed on the Executive Committee, but the right is reserved to the Central Committee to act if the Executive Committee failed to do so The Executive Committee having failed to take any steps toward holding the primary elections, the meeting of the entire Cen- tral Committee has been called for Satur- day night to supply the deficiency. A proposition to go back to the old plan of selecting committeemen was brought for- ward Monday night at a meeting of the chairmen of pre-inct committees and voted down. Thursday night it was brought be- fore a meeting of the Executive Commit- tee and voted down again. The opposition in the Executive Com- mittee to the plan of electing precinct committeemen have appointed a commit- tee to confer with a similar committee of the Jefferson Club, with a view to marshaling force enough to carry the roint. OThe advocates of the precinct election plan contend that the Icexecutive Commit- tee derives all its powers from the Central Committee and has no authority to re- organize the committee. Those in favor of electing the precinct committeemen argue that the plan is the only Democratic one, as the people them- selves select the precinct committeemen and they control the Executive Committee, instead of the Executive Committee con- trolling the Central Committee, as was the case under the old plan. The opposition will make an effort at Saturday night’s meeting to get a large enough following to revive the old plan, GOING INTO A LARGER CHURCH. Hope Congregationalists Expect Soon to Be Housed.

C., Jan. 21—In debate in the House yesterday arising over the pri- vate claim bill of Shipbuilders Cramp & ons, Congressman Lew's of Washington made the charge that contractors during the recent war had supplied the American troops in some instances with “rotten and decayed food which had been prepared for the Chinese-Japanese War. It was moesed and blue, putrid and corrupt,” he said, ‘‘but {t Was sent to our soldiers at the front and they perished from it as from the plague.” Continuing, he declared that these men had earned the ignominy, reproach and con- tempt of Congress. If he were Attorney- General he should arraign before the grand — of the country those men who had urnished poisoned food to the army, those who had sold armor plate to the enemy and those who sold coal for the use of the ene- my's fleets, and he would convict them of treason and have them shot, as Napoleon did, or have them imprisoned, as Grant did.

It Is a Gorgeous Creatién, but No Doubt It Is Quite the Proper Article. SO “Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Another Amer- ican impression has been’ shattered by the disclosure that Commodore Per- ry, the hero of Lake Erie, was not a hero after all, but only a Plain captain. This came out dur- ing the discussion of the naval person- nel bill, and it afforded Mr. Foss of Illinois an opportunity to make an effective re- rejoinder to Mr. Bailey. The Democratic leader had criticised the bill because it abolished the rank of commodore. Just think of it,’’ exclaimed Bailey, dramatically, “Perry was a commodore, Schley was a commodore, Dewey was a Commodore and now Congress proposes to ryt ina with this time-honored American S. This led Foss to look up the naval re- cords, and as a result he informed the House that there was no such grade. as commodore until July, 1862. Perry was a captain at the time of the battle of Lake Erie, and he had the title of commodore only by courtesy, the same as in the hos- pitable State of Kentucky every mun _ to- day has the title of Colonel. But Foss’ most effective point against Bailey was in answering the statement that commodore was a time-honored American tiie. He had traced the derivation of the title, and found it to be derived-from the Spanish ‘“‘commendador,” which was hard- ly as American as Mr. Bailey has insisted. “Dont’s” for New Congressmen. The following ‘‘don’ts’’ are written for the especial benefit of the new Representa- tives, who will come into office March 4. Don’t antagonize Speaker Reed. Make him your friend, and you will get along Swimmingly. Make him your enemy and he will crush you. Don’t ask to be placed on the Rules Com- mittee. If you do you will probably get a S6eat in the committee which looks after the ventilation of the Postoffice Depart- ment. Don’t make yourself too conspicuous dur- ing the first part of your term. If you do the older members will frown upon you and brand you as an upstart, to be: plucked in the bud. Don't interrupt a big man while he is speaking for the purpose of getting your name in the Record. The big man will. of course, listen, but he will swear between h‘s teeth, and you gain his {]] will. Don’t spend too much time tn the House restaurant where ‘“‘sherry” is the pdss- word. Remember one is known by the company he keeps, and the tabooed mem- bers can usually be found in the restaurant drowning their sorrows. Don't visit the White House every day because your commission as a Representa- tive gives you the entree. The President often extends the icy hand to constant call- ers. Don't firit with the girls in the galleries; this is etrictly forbidden by Congressional etiquette. If you must flirt, do it outside the capitol. Don’t be seen in the company of lobby- sts. Hanna Has a New Waistcoat. Senator Mark Hanna has a new watst- coat, which he wore for the first time to- day. It is a double-breasted affair, with small polka dots looming up conspicuously over a dark blue surface. The Senator is evidently very proud of the new article of raiment, for he displayed it without the slightest provocation § to every one with whom he talked. Usually his coat is closely buttoned about his form. but to-day it hung loose and he dug his handa deep down in his pockets, flaring his coat back, and showed the new waistcoat in all its splendor. The Hanna waistcoat may be quite the roper thing, and it certainly is, else the enator wouid not wear it. but no one can deny that it Is a boisterous garment.

And this is but one of many things. There are other stories of St. Louis you must read. You must know that a man who is recognized as one of the brightest and most entertaining fellows in American literature was born here in St. Louis, and that the house of his birth, all forgotten in its distinction, is still standing. May- hap you see it every day and do not know what you see. To-morrow’s Sunday Post- Dispatch will tell you this story. Another Stanley has just come out of the wild wilderness of the Dark Continent. If you would read his own story of the wonderful men and beasts he saw read to-morrow’s Sunday Post-Dispatch. A Missourian well known to the people of St. Louis has gone to England upon an errand which has directed to him the interest of the English and American people.

This much-abused double of a bad man tells this story in Post-Dispatch, and the oldest locomotive engineer in the world will tell how he brought the first English locomotive here in 1829 and ran it upon an American track. And if you don’t like stories of this sort we can show you pictures—pictures the prettiest and newest, and all printed in the most artistic way.

Stored away in the basement of this building are records of priceless value, and every county and every citizen in the State is directly or indirectly interested in their preservation. ‘‘Besides these valuable records, the State owns a law library worth $100,000. If this building should burn, it would be impossible to save the library or any considerable part of it. “The courtroom is an oven or a cold storage place, just as you please. It can- not be properly ventilated. When the windows are opened the Judges freeze and when they are closed the Judges melt. Lawyers who come here to argue cases almost invariably go away with bad colds. “An objection will probably be raised because of the expense. This objection wil} not hold water. There can be no heavier taxatiow than at present, so that no tax- payer will have to »ay more if a new building be erected than at present. The revenue Of the State is spent anyhow, and the only question to be settled is whether money shall be used for this necessary im- provement or for some less worthy im- provement.”’ It is thought by those who have con- sidered this matter that for $70,000, if the contractor is given the privilege of using convict labor, a fire-proof building can be erected. The present building is a mongrel struc- ture, patched and added to until it has neither shape nor semblance of architec- tural beauty. It is built of; wood and brick and the steam heating apparatus was put in long after it was built. Most of the building has no basement, the floors rest- ing almost on the ground. In some places the joists have rotted and the floors have sagged. Naturally the interior arrange- ment of the building is inconvenient. WENTWORTH SCHOOL QUIET. Major Sellers Believes He Has Quelled the Insurrection. LEXINGTON, Mo., Jan. 21.—Mayor Sel- lers, principal of Wentworth Military Acad- emy, believes he has restored discipline. Nineteen cadets have been sent home, 17 having stood by two expelled. At the school it is stated the cause for the rebellion was that the boys wanted to run affairs regardless of orders. Maj. Sellers said: Several members of the graduating class, despairing of passing their intermediate examination, seemed to have acted as promoters and succeeded in arousing a pretty formidable insurrection. When the situation was fully realized, the faculty met the students on their own ground, offering them unconditional sur- render or the packing up amd leaving the barracks. Immediately seven cadets were expelled and 12 were permitted to leave honorably. ‘‘The best results are expected from this prompt discipline and no further trouble is anticipated.” This statement agrees with cadets, except those expelled. TRYING TO ELIMINATE INDIANS. Senator Dravelle Means to Present a New Primary Law. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 21.—Sena- tor Drabelle will soon introduce a Dill which he thinks will reform primary elec- tions and drive the “Indian” out of busi- ness. The bill provides that the primaries of all political parties shall be held on the same day. This is the first blow at the ‘Indian.’ The next blow is the provision which makes it necessary for every man who intends to vote at the primary to en- roll himself with the Election Commission- ers as intending to vote with one of the parties at the primary. No man can be that of the 'enrolled who is not a registered voter. He enrolls just after he registers and up to within 30 days of the primary. Then en- rollment ceases, and those who are not en- rolled are not permitted to vote at the primary. The Dill puts all the machinery of the primaries in the control of the Elec- tion Commissioners, and makes primaries offici@l. Col Swift Has Established a Rock Pile for Gamblers.

Gentlemen:—It gives me pleasure to cer- tify to the good effects from Paine’s celery compound for my patients in gegeral de- bility and liver complaints. Andrew L. Lundgren, M. D. Why do the ablest physicians in America openly prescribe, ‘use and recommend Paine’s celery compound? First, because Paine'’s celery compound tis not a patent medicine. It is not the dis- covery of some quack doctor of whom his profession never heard; it is not a concoc- tion put up by some man who first invented a name, and then adopted a preparation to fit it; and it is not a secret remedy. But it is, first, the result of the life long study of the greatest physician America has produced, a man whose reputation was world wide years before he had ever ar- rived at this wonderful formula; a man who has received the highest degrees from the best colleres, who was at the time of his great discovery a professor at Dartmouth and a lecturer in other universities, a scholar and a member of a family which has made its mark in every department of public life in America—Prof. Edward BR. | Pheips, M. D., LL. D. " Why do progressive and hae ag 7 sicians of every school prescribe Paine’s celery compound in preference to any other remedy? Because it has prolonged the lives of thousands of sufferers; it has made their sick patients well. The best test that can be applied to Paine’s celery compound fs to use it. f one is “run down,” feels without en- erzy, lifeless, useless, fretful, take this great remedy, and note the change. In its peculiar ability to at once invigor- ate the body, to make new blood and to regulate the nerves, lies the great value of Paine’s celery compound in all wasting diseases and disorders of the kidneys, liver and stomach. A neglected complaint, though slight at a lifetime of misery. The ringing in the ears, the backache or the general debility teach one by bitter experience that ease can creep through very small holes. kidneys, improves the appetite and di- gestion, drives out any serofulous tendency in the blood and actively encourages the nutrition of the nerves and organs with the result that the whole body takes on flesh and color—the surest indication of improved health.

Mr. Depew will tell Depew stories, but he will cast railroad votes. He will represent a railroad system and a family of railroad magnates. Mr. Depew as Senator suggests the great poet's saying that & man may smile and smile and be a villain—not that Mr. De- pew is a villain, because he is not; he is an amiable gentle- man, but behind his Senatorship is a piece of political villainy by which a great interest is given control of a voice and a vote inthe United States Senate. | | ‘a pes | | — S— = An Inebriate Defined.—A new law in Germany describes an in- ebriate as “one who, in consequence of inebriety, cannot pro- vide for his affairs, or brings himself or his family into danger of need, or endangers the safety of others.” ‘This law places the inebriate among persons liable to-be placed under curators or guardians, who are empowered to put him anywhere for treatment until he ts discharged by the court.

Mueller inhabited for some time. One day there was a shortage and everybody knew it; the next day the shortage had disappeared and nobody knew anything. Mr. Wagenman seems to have changed his mind entirely with regard to the situation and all of his official associates who claimed to know about his difficulties have forgotten in a day all they knew. The case would be amusing if it were not serious. We have had trequent evidences of the treacherousness of official mem- ories and of the capacity of the official mind to juggle with office records. We have found how hopeless it is to expect truth or justice from officials under the control of a partisan machine. Fortunately there is now another source of hope for St. Louisans. The Lexow Committee will soon be at work and it is fair to expect that it will be measurably free from the iniluences which Have suppressed the truth in all investiga- tions wherein the power of the local party machines can make itsel? felt. There are ugly features in the Wagenman case and his re- mark that he could burn up the town if he felt like it was a hint of more scandal than has been brought to the surface. Whai the St. Louis people want is the whole truth. —& >> i i A The poorest State economy would be a delay in appropriating a liberal sum for the World's Fair that is to make Missouri known to every country on the globe.

We always think it so easy to do an- other man’s work until we try it. Just the minute’ you think your place can’t be filled just that instant it ought to be. A man is never so embarrassed as when he is expected to be sentimental over the telephone. A place to work and a place to play are never so happily combined as in a-school of music.

It is a city without a municipality, without a center, without a civic history; it has no newpa- pers, magazines or journals; it has no uni- versity; it has no colleges, apart from med- icine; it has no intellectual, artistic, *c.en- tiflc, musical, literary center—unless the Crystal Palace can.be considered a center; its residents have no local patriotism or en- thuriasm—one cannot imagine a man proud of New-cross; it has no theaters, except of a very popular or humble kind; it has no clubs, it has no public buildings, it has no West End.

Sleeping or waking, alive or dead, they are always wide open. This is be- cause there are no eyelids. The eye is protected only by a strong scale, which forms a part of the epidermal envelope, and is cast off with that every time the reptile molts. This eye plate is as clear and transparent as glass, and allows the most perfect vision, while at the same time it is so hard and tough as to perfectly protect the delicate organ within from the thorns and twigs among which, in flight from enemies or in pursuit of prey, the reptile in so often hurriedly glides, observer of the babits of the readily discover. “FOOLISH ATLAS. eee “Who is that?" asked the school boy’ father as he glanced through the text book. “Why, that's Atlas.

The State legislators who, according to the Post-Dispatch’s Jefferson City réports, are not awake to the importance of promptly makis:g liberal provision for the St. Louis World’s Fair and who are talking economy with reference to it, do not appreciate the Siate’s opportunity or the sentiment of the people. No project in connection. with St. Louis and the State has received so spontaneous and enthusiastic a response as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Not only do the newspapers of the State unanimously indorse the Fair, but they urge the Législature’to make a IMberal appropriation. Missouri is as deeply interested as St. Louis in the success it will be-bocated in her principal city. She is the leading State of the Louisiana purchase territory. Other States look to Missouri for example and leadership. A liberal appropriation this winter would be an assurance of success and would start the ball rolling in time. Ready money is not needed, but provision should be made in advance for an ample fund. Let Missouri lead off. ictal nticilpanntinmaccincsallel Two Good Reasons for Getting Out of Cuba.—Gen. Wood's estimate of 60,000 soldiers as nectssary to be kept in Cuba because the climate causes so much malaria and other sick- ness that not over 25 or 40 per cent of the force may be capable of effectual aggressive action, presents a very good reason Why Wwe should get out of Cuba at an early day. An- other good reason is that we owe it tu the Cubans to get out. eo WITHDRAWING THE TREATY. The reports from Washington that the peace treaty may be Withdrawn go to show that the administration will evade the issue during the existence of the present Congress. The President can withdraw the treaty now, assigning any reason he pleases, and submit it again in exactly the same shape after March 4, when the Senate is expected to be more complaisan.. This is not a very seemly way of dealing with public ques- tions; it will not indicate much respect for the Senate. It:is to be hoped that the President will not resort to such a method of accomplishing his designs, whatever these may be. But if he does, it will simply amount to a reference of the Whole imperialist question to the people, and it can hardly be doubted that the popular sentiment asainst annexation is fathering strength with each new development. The Presi- dent will procure the confirmation of the treaty by such pro- cedure, but he is likely' to pay for this temporary success by the loss of public confidence and certain defeat in 1900. >> a i There is a tide in the affairs of cities as well as in those of men.

He Leaves for His Home on Sunday and Carries Away Many Pleasant Recollections of St. Louis. John Davidson, the speedy skater of St. Paul, returns to his native heath Sunday with a record of having captured every race but one decided at the Ice Palace. Friday night Davidson stacked up in a free-for-all mile contest with Siward Husby, the Norwegian champion; A. H. Jones, late of Winnipeg; EF. C. Gilmore of St. Louis and an unknown, who skated under the name of Ponti. The five men received an even break at the start, but Davidson had the first run and quickly assumed the lead. At the quarter the St. Paul lad led by ten yards from Jones. At this point Husby and Gilmore simul- taneously spurted and were rapidly over- hauling the leaders when they came to- gether and in the mix-up both went up in the air. Husby was hurt, but pluckily re- mained in the race. At the half Davidson, who was going at a terrific clip, had an advantage of 490 yards, Jones second, the others a lap away. At three-quarters Davidson was half a lap to the good and retained the lead to the winning post. Jones, who is rapidly getting into con- dition, put up a good even race, and finished second half a lap in front of Gilmore. Husby was a distant fourth. Ponti, the unknown, threw up the sponge in the eighth round. he time, 3:091-5, was very fast, and established a record for the Ice Palace. The judges were G. G. Burdick, Louis L. Singer and Charles Schrocter. Pope Stur- geon held the watch, and C. S. Dusard kept the tally of the laps. -——~— - - & +--+ -- THE NEW ‘ROTTING CIRCUIT.

Despite the fact that the open:ng was set for Feb. 8 not a movement has been made. The visit of the promoter, Columbus Simons to Cincinnati is said to have been to see Johnny Payne, the Covington poolroom man, in the hope of raising money, and in this m-ssion he is sald to have failed. Not a hammer hae been put on the grand stand or stables, and men who were thought to have been inter- ested in the new track are now said to be out, principally beciuse they own good he@wses which run on the regular tracks. Yespite the fact that dates were assigned the Washington Jockey Club, there is some doubt as to whether there will be any rac- ing there next —. This is owing to the prosecution of the officers of the club, in- stigated by a lot of boss gamblers of Wash- ington and Baltimore last fall. Indictments of the officials and of bookmakers who did business at Bennings are still pending. If on trial the club wins the cases there wit, no doubt, be racing at Bennings. Other- wise there will probably be none this year. The injury gamblers of the rule-or-ruin stripe have done to racing during the past 10 years can hardly be computed.

It ts all settled, and soon there will be a genuine prize fight, with Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Jeffries as the principals. On Wednesday of this week Fitz over his own signature issued a sweeping and gen- eral challenge to any white man in the world, Sharkey or Jeffries preferred, He offered to fight either of them to a finish, or he agreed to waive his right to insist upon the articles calling tor a finish fight, but insisted that they read for a contest of 25 rounds or more. : : In his chalienge Fitz said: ‘If Sharkey refuses to meet me, then my ofter stands good to any white man in the world. In fact. 1 challenge the world, Jeffries pre- ferred, because he is the only heavy we.gnt of any consequence I have not defeated.” Jeffries is in San Francisco, but Billy Brady, his manager, is in New York, and as soon as he read Fitz’s statement ne covered the latter’s forfeit of $2500, which has been on deposit in New York for some time. While putting up his money, Brady said Jeffries was willing to meet Fitz either in a limited round bout or in a fight toa finish. Being willing to meet him either way, a mil] between the two big fellows of the prize ring is now assured. Maher, like Fitz, has been barred by Tom O’Rourke from ever fighting before the Lenox Athletic Club. Fitz was: barred for claiming the club was unfairly conducted, and Maher for refusing to fight Jim Jef- fries, and thereby give the club a chance to get back the $300 which they paid Jef- fries to come to this city several months ago and fight Maher. The latter, it is al- leged, refused to do so after having told O’ Rourke he would. “When you see a guy getting Into the ring and putting his hands up open, i' you've got any money on him bet again, says Jimmy Barry. ‘You can tell whether a fellow can hit or not. With his hands open he loses time and never gets in for a punch. I was always taught to have my hands clinched ready for anything whén I began. Some fellows teach to rest the hand by keeping it open. Then_ th: other young fighters forget to close them when they are in a good fight and can’ hit.’’ “That's right.’’ Says Harry Gilmore “There's another funny thing about teach- ing. I've known fellows to take lessons that could just about stand their teach- er off. yet when they.get out and fight a professional they go up in the alr They get used to the style. J think it a bad thine for a fellow to show too muc’ of his style to the man he is going to fight. Take Tommy White. When he goes in to fight a man with whom he has been practicing for a jong time he finds th fellow has his stvle down fine and ¥row how to keep away from his left. where Kerwin gets a joi of these ILe.- lows with that funny way of his. It keeps ‘em guessing from the jump and they never can get it. “One time when I was running a show Mike Boden and Mike Queenan were on. 3oden's style was well known and hi didn’t like the way things were shaping, I guéss, for all of a sudden he stoops down and grabs Queenan by the ankies an jerks. Queenan went down as stiff as a board and hit the back of his head on th floor. He gets up quick and gets Boden's head under his arm and punches him. “ ‘Tt is rough and tumble you want.’ he savs. ‘I'll give it to ye.” The funny thing about it was nobody in the crowd yelled foul. Now if a man makes a move in clinch the whole audience wants him dis- qualified.’’ Entries to the West End amateur boxing tournament, which is set for next week are coming in rapidly. The latest are those of Peter A. Simmons and Frank Johnson in the 105-pound class, making, e total of six in that class; Michael Lone in the 125-pound class, bringing the total in that division up to eight: Guy W. Erb Ed. Mevers and Otto Wir‘ers in the 135- pound class. making ei™t in that di- vision, and Jim Williams and Thomas H Finnegan in the 145-pound class, makings eight of the welters now seeking th championship. No new entries of 115-pound men were received, there being still eigh’ entered in that class. Quite a number of additional entries are expected to-day. Joe Frede of the West End Club has peen matched to fight Jimmy Murray ]' rounds at Hot Springs, Feb. 15. Murray will be remembered as the man who boxe¢ with Ed Lally in the Oriental) Theater las’ winter. His hands were very sore then and he made a very poor showing. Mike Mooney of the Business Men's Gymnasium has arranged a great _ pro- gramme for Tuesday night. when Morrt: Rtauch and Frankie Noel, the crack ban- tams, are to furnish the piece de resist- ance. The fun will commence with four-round bout between Mooney and A' Newton. . — Se ee EIS BEST,” IF KEPT es WITH _SAPOLIO _ DENTISTS.

He Believes the Issue Dead, While Sen- ator Jones Presents Estimates to the Contrary. NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—In an intervie® given out here Richard Croker reiterates his declaration that, in his opinion, “the 16 to 1 issue is dead."" He says further: “Why should we carry a dead weight? The times of four years ago are past. ‘o- day the times are different and the issues are not the same, “Speaking for this section of the country, I say that if the 16 to 1 Is again brougnt before the people there will be felt again throughout the nation the same distrust that prevailed in 1896. “From the South and West there always comes the hue and cry against New York because it is the money center of the United States. But whenever there is any great public improvement to be made in any section of this country, the first loom for help is toward abused New York. “If this silver question comes up again before the people and is made a factor in the nationai platform the moneyed men of the East will look for investment outside of this country and the banks in the other States of the Union will be unable to bor- row money in the East. The result will be that the poor will be the great sufferers. “The free silver issue is merely a local issue In the sections where free siiver will benefit the residents it is but natural! for them to declare for 16 to 1. But here in New York we must see to it that the position of our party on the money ques- tion must meet the requirements, not of any one section, but of every section of the United States, When, in convention as*em- bled, the majority of the delegates demand a coin standard or a certain reform, New York will, as she ever has, fall faithfully in line without a moment of opposition or a murmur of protest. “But the Democratic platform of 1900 has not yet been written.” CHICAGD, Jan. 21.—In a letter to George S. Bowen, Assistant National Secretary of the Amer.can Bimetallic Union, relative to the present and future prospects of siiver in the Senate, which has been made public here, Chairman J. K. Jones of the Demo- cratic National Committee, says: “The claim of the Republican papers tna that Senate is already irrevocably against silver, and will so stand until 193 at the earliest, is, like many of their extreme chaims, not well founded. “A gold man has since been elected fror Oregon, and of those who voted in favor of that a gape at that time, seven Sena- tors will probably be succeeded on the 4th of March next by Senators opposed to the unlimited coinage of silver, namely, Senators Allen of Nebraska, Mitchell of Wisconsin, ‘Murphy of New York, Roach of North Dekota, Smith of New Jersey, Tur- pie of Ind‘tana and White of California. “This will leave the two sides equal, and the deciding vote will be in the hands of the Vice-President. “This year an unusual proportion of bi- metallists who come from close states have had their terms expire. In 1900, however, all th‘s will be evened up by a larger pro- portion of gold men retiring, who come from ciose gates. ‘The terms of 30 Senators expire in 1991. Of these 11, who are now friendly io silver, may safely be counted as absolutely cer- tain to be succeeded by silver men. These Senators come from the following States: Alabama Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The following States may be expected to elect gold men to succeed gold men at that time: Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. ‘‘New Hampshire is now represented by a silver man, whose term will expire In 1901. If he should be succeeded by a gold man, Louisiana and Kentucky, now represented by gold men, are certain to send two bi- metalliets in the’r stead, “In two States—South Dakota and Dela- ware—where we now have silver Senators, there will be contests, and the most that can be claimed by the god men is that we are not ositively certain to hold these States; while the following States, now rep- resented by gold men, can certainly not be claimed ae sure to return a solid gold dele- gation, namely: Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska. New Jersey, Oregon, West Virginia and Wyoming “From all this, it is perfectly safe to as- sert, without fear of contradiction, that if the bimetallista succeed in electing the President in 1900, they will unquestionahly have a clear working majority in the Unit- ed States Senate.” “EDUCATIONAL. 14 words or lesa 20c. — EDUCATIONAL~ Boxing tauglit privately by acten- tifle expert; no singginge.

SATURDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JANUARY 25, 1899 “IRELAND WINS HIS NOTED CASE Archbishop Will Be Given Title to Large Tracts of Improved Lands in Minnesota. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—The Secretary of the Interior to-day affirmed the decision of the Commiselioner of the General Land Office in the famous case of Archbishop Ire- land, involving title to 33,178 acres of land In Minnesota. He holds that under the first contract made with the St. Paul, Minneso- ta & Manitoba Railroad Co., July 17, 189), Archbishop Ireland ws not a purchaser, but that under the second contract, made March 3, 1883, he was a purchaser. Ac- cordingly the lands covered by the first contracts will not go to Archbishop Ireland, whiie he will receive those under the sec- ond contract. The cAse has been pending fora number of years, and involves the homes of a large number of gettlers. The Archbishop se- cured the lands for the purpose of. locating an Irish colony. Most of the lands have passed to these settlers. There still re- mained, however, a good many acres not sold or only partially paid for and on the plea that-the Archbishop had simply a con- tract to dispose of the lands as an agent, an attempt was made to prevent a transfer of these other lands. The contention of the Archbishop is sustained and he will receive all the lands under the second tract. Title to the lands has been unsettled because of these suits for a good many years and this final decision of the matter will come ae a relief: not only to the settlers on the lands but to all residents about Graceville, where the bulk of the lands are located.

DAWSON, Dee. 22, via Seattle, Wash., Jan. 21.—The situation here is gloomy. The number of sick is increasing, and the six hospitels are full. The mounted police have donated for the help of the poor, some $30,- OM in cash from their treasury. This leaves them with but $4000 cash on hand. Commissioner Ogilvie called a meeting to decides on a ways and means for reliev- ing the situation, and a memorial asking for aid will be sent to Washington. It is estimated that $9000 a month will be re- quired to pay for the treatment of indigent patients. The death rate this winter has been almost as great as in the summer. Several stampedes to new fields have re- cently oceurred, but in each case the gold- seekers were disappointed. RESULTED IN A MISTRIAL. Eliza Brennan’s Suit Against the City Failed of Decision.

ATTEMPT -T0 BREAK A WILL Three of Mrs. Agnes Keating’s Sisters Claim That the Document Pro- bated Is Not Valid. Mary Jane Fitzgibbon, Ella Bannerman and Anna K. Lancaster will attempt to break the will of their sister, Agnes Keat- ing, who died Sept. 1, 1898. They allege that the document, which was filed in the Probate Court a few days after Mrs. Keating’s death, and purported rr contain the dying wishes in regard to the stribution of her property, was not really her last will, They charge that the will was made a year before the death of the testatrix, While she wag of unsound mind and was under the influence of her sister, yd, wo Killian, who is named as prin- cipal beneficiary. The alleged will is a peculiar one. It is written with a lead pencil on a cheap grade of paper. It is not signed by Mrs. Keat- ing, but Daniel, Pierce and Genevieve Kil- lian say that they saw Mrs. Keating write it and sav that they heard her declare that she wished it to be her last will and testa- ment. The will was admitted to probate on the strength of their testimony, Judge Rassier holing that that evidence. to- gether with the fact that the first words of the will were “I, Agnes Keating,” was eufficient to give the document the appear- ance of Mrs. Keating’s will and the right to stand as such until it should be ppoven not ta be, SUIT FOR ITS BONDS.

WON'T TELL HIS REAL NAME A Cattleman From Colorado Robbed by Disreputable Women Is Ashamed of Himself. A stranger in St. Lauis was robbed of nearly $400 in a panel game in a Chestnut street resort Friday night. He told a reporter his name was John Lewis and then, a moment later, said that was not his name. If the police have his name they do not admit it. Five women, inmates of Maggie Geek's resort, are locked up pending investigation. It is the same old story. A cattleman from Colorado, with plenty of money in his pockets and with time hanging heavily, went out for a good time. “T would not have my right name get in the papers for $1000,”’ he seid. I am well connected at home and my father is a Baptist minister. I am 40 years old and ought to have known better than to enter such a place. I will know better next time.’’ EDITORS ELECT OFFICERS.

The wreckage is conclusive evidence little vessel was cut in two and ehattered either by the elements or an explosion on board. The power of the ves- sel Was Supplied by gasoline, of which there was a large quantity on board. The wreckage was fownd by oystermen a week ago. They towed the stuff to Breton Island, but made no report of the matter until they made their weekly visit to Cub- bit’e Gap for provisions Friday. Following this report the Pansy went to Breton Isl- and and confirmed it. Trunks containing the clothing and other articles of those who sailed in the Paul Jones were also found. No information concerning anyone on board has been had‘since Jan. 3, when the Jones left New Orleans for Pensacola, after a run down the Mississippi River. The crew consisted of three men. Lioyd G.

ARMORY LEASE RENEWED. Business Men’s League Supposed to Be Behind the Incident. Col. Edwin Batdorf, in behalf of the First Regiment, Missouri National Guards, has renewed the lease of the armory. Before the lease could be given he was required to be- come personaliy liable for the payment of the rent. It is believed this action indi- cates the Business Men’se League has de- termined the First Regiment must not be disbanded and has agreed to make good all deficiencies in the General Assembly appro- riation for its ma ntenance. Otherwise, it 8S argued, Col. Batdorf would not have given his personal guarantee that the rent would be paid when the reg'mental finances are in such a deplorable condition. Members of the regiment now believe they will not be forced to disband as an organ‘- Zation. They are holding meetings at the armory every evening and they say all! that is needed to put them in good fighting reba * mon meena Col. Batdorf is en- voring to secure this from Adjt.-Gen. M. F.

Plenty of Money in Policy Now, With 1400 Good Luck Tokens Distrib- uted Through the City. —— There is joy among the superstitious of St. Louis. For to-day the St. Louis Provident Association gave away 350 rabbits. This, by simpe arithemetic, means that 1400 rab- bits’ feet are abroad in the city. And every one who was fortunate enough 1 Set a rabbit is doing the “pigeon wing” in contemplation of the money he will win in policy. For it’s luck enough to get a good meal, but when four rabbits’ paws go with treed meal, it is an opportunity of a life- Early Thursday forenoon the Provident Association received word that 350 rabbits, presented by the citizens of Cape Girar- deu County, had arrived at. the freight sta- tion of the Iron Mountain railroad. Immediately the association’s clerks were set at work scanning the books for the names of worthy poor and addressing cards to them. These cards informed the recipi- ents that by presenting the card at 1101 cust street Saturday morning they would receive rabbits according to the size of their families. By 11:30 200 cards had been mailed. And then the association's at- tention was turned to getting the rabbits from the freight e6tation. Four boxes and two barrels were deliv- ered, but there was a nhifth box missing. Instead of the box of rabbits, a box of furs appeared. Now, while you can wear furs, you cannot eat them, whereas you can eat a rabbit and then wear his fur. So evidently, the association was the loser by this exchange. The box was therefore returned, but no trace of the missing rab- bits was found. And the cards had been sent out for 350 rabbits. Here was a dilemma. But so many rabbits’ feet cannot be in ee ete ebro np Rirmpacbone their influence. e enough the missin Pacey anereene: ne efore o'clock Saturday the recipients of the cards began to gather at 1101 Locust street. —e sin men, women and chil- colors and all nationalities Some had baskete é others had nothing. a ae At 9 o’clock the door was opened and the distribution was begun under the direction of A. M. Cobb, ore of the association's clerks. Some delay was caused by having to open the boxes, but the crowd was pa- tient. Mr. Cobb inadvertently mentioned that there were a few ’pcssums among the rabbits. And there were ivories among the darkies which would put any dentist’s showcase to the blush. Fo’ de Lord,” said one old aunty, “I hopes I get a *pos’m. I'd gim ma two rabbits fo’ one.’’ “I'll give mah three,” said another, and thereupon the holders of the cards began to bid for the "possums. But Mr. Cobb soon put an end to it all by Saying that he could not find the *possums. And a gloom settled ypon the people which even the rabbits’ feet could not lift. One |after another they came forward and re- ceived one, two or occasionally three rab- bits. As each one received his rabbits, good large fat ones, he cast a furtive glance at cae SORSS, hoping to see a ’possum, but in After the first rush the people came more slowly, but there was a steady stream of them. Some of them said. “Thank you,” when Mr. Cobb gave them the rabbits, and some took them as a matter of couree, with never a word of gratitude. Every time a negro came forward ther was a blinding show of teeth and each one looked most eagerly at the condition of the aws. One old woman wanted to change er rabbit because its leg was broken and | She said “ther man” was bad enough with- out a broken rabbit’s foot to increase it. And Mr. Cobb obliged her.

ST. LOUIS LEADS, AS USUAL. Travelers Who Have to Sleep in Cars at Union Station Will Be Comfortable. Nearly all the railroads running out of St. Louis have decided to place electric fans in their cars during warm weather. Several of the leading roads, among them the Vandalia and the Missouri Pacific, have already arranged to inugurate the improve- ment before May 1. The fans will be operated by an electric battery attached to each car. St. Louis roads, as usual, set the pace for their rivals. Not even Boston, the town that imagined it had the eS railroad station in the world, until cold, hard facts has dreamed of pro- viding the traveling public with such a ot gd as the local roads propose to fur- nish. W._H. Morton, depot passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain Railway Companies, was one of the first to advocate the use of electric fans in passenger cars. “On a hot summer night,” said he, ‘“‘noth- ing is so hard on a man or woman as to ride in a stuffy car with not a breath of air stirring. 'e were able to build mag- nificent cars and fit them up with facilities of constantly increasing splendor, but did not alleviate the travelers’ summer misery. Physically, I’m a pretty ‘husky’ man, and it takes a whole lot of warm-air to melt me. But, I tell you, when speeding across the scorching plains or through swamp land, with the atmosphere like a furnace and the dust flying so that a window can- not be kept open, I sometimes wish I was with the angels. The electric fans give us a practical remedy for the discomfort, and I am con- fident that all the St. Louis roads will 6up- ply their cars with them.” ‘Mr. Morton’s experience in the railroad business, extending over 27 years, qualifies him to speak with force and influence on { the subject of arrangements to make the traveler comfortable and the sentiment among St. Louis railroad officials is Strongly in favor of the proposition to fit up cars wi.h fans. Mr. Morton believes further that the day is not far distant when all passenger trains will be lighted by electricity. Station Master Jerry Coakley is arrang- ing to have all the passenger cars arriving at Union Station fitted up with electric circuits to be attached to the station dy- namo, which will run the fans. “Frequently,’’ said the station master, “a train leaving at 2 or 3 o’clock in the morn- ing is in the trainshed at 9 o’clock the night before, for the accommodation of patrons. But passengers undergo no end of annoy- ance trying to rest in a car when the night is sultry. I had thought of the fan scheme before the railroads took it up. Smoke of- ten gets under the trainshed, and renders the atmosphere well-nigh unbearable.”’ EXSOLDIER KILLS A NEGRO. Young Frank Desmond Claims That He Slew William Winston in Self-Defense. Frank Desmond, a beardless youth of 19 years, who was honorably discharged from the regular army a few months ago, occu- pies a cell in the holdover, and will have to answer for shooting and killing William Winston, a negro, early Saturday morning. Desmond’s account of the tragedy, which is corroborated by the police reports, indi- cates that the shooting was done in self- defense. Desmond is @ bartender in Benson's saloon, Ninth and Walnut streets. Winston was day porter. A few minutes after mid- night, Desmond says, Winston entered the saloon and bought 5 cents’ worth of beer. ‘‘He laid a dime down on the bar,”’ said the young prisoner. ‘I drew the beer and laid the change down. I then turned away. He asked me to treat him right. I didn't understand and said so. Then Winston threw that beer in my face and struck me on the head with the bucket. “He started around behind the bar after me. I knew he had brass knucks because I saw them not three hours before. I got my pistol out and shot him. I didn’t know I hit him until he fell. If I killed him I did it because I had to. “My home is in Lancaster, N. Y.

Actor Students Pleased a Large Audience. Guy Lindley and his pupils entertained a large audience at the Fourteenth Street Theater Friday night in a double Dill, con- sisting of “A Peep Behind the Scenes,” a one-act sketch in four scenes, and “A Cheerful Liar,”’ a farcical comedy in three acts. In the first named the company had the advantage of the fact that at least one of the characters was that of an ama- teur seeking an engagement. This role wag undertaken by Miss Nina Fouke, and well done, whether py good acting or the for- tuitous part, makes no _ difference. Mr. Lindsley played the leading role as Mons Duford. an old actor. Miss Cora E. Smith as Miss Fitzjames, the spolled star, showed ability and promise. W. E Gamage as Ber- tie Fitzdangle, Mr. Charles Mack as Par- nasus, Mr. P. 8 Whitham as Theophilus Vamp, Mr Harman Straat as call-boy, and Mr. H. P. Fairback as Timotheus Flat, ac- quitted themselves well. In “A Cheerful Liar’ J. D. Canty made an excellent judge, Cora E. Smith a dro ola maid, Carrie Arenson a typical Chicago girl, but the surprise of the evening was the work of Harman Straat, a mere boy, who played the scheming preacher. seek- ing a financia] partner for his gvid cure establishment. The crouching, crafty re- quirements and the peculiarly pitched voice together with the realistic make-up brought a recall] and much applause for Straat.
