ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. FORTY PAGES. ~ VOL. 50, NO. 159 SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS—JANUARY 22, 1899 STOLE TO SAVE HIS WIFE'S L —_— Pathetic Confession of a Con- fidential Clerk. HIS PRETTY BRIDE WAS DYING. CNLY A TRIP ABROAD MIGHT CHECK CONSUMPTION. To Enable Her to Make the Voyage and to Buy Her Delicacies He Forged His Employer’s Name to Large Amounts. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—This life romance fs nearly at an end. In a few hours the wife of Louis J. Snure will have passed away the doctors say. Then the husband can go to State Prison content for a long term of years. The wife for whom he stole $20,000 will have no more need for money. May O’Brien was a pretty giri. Half the young men in her block were head over heels in love with her. 3ut it was Louis J. Snure, a good-looking young fel- low, who won her fancy. He was confiden- tial clerk for Mandel, Pursch & Weiner, avholesale clothing merchants. “We'd trust him. with every dollar we have,” said one of the firm, when the girl's mother called to ask about the young man who loved her daughter. That settled it. The engagement was announced, and two years ago last March they were married. They were happy, but sorrow came as come it must to most of us, It was ail so sudden. One day a cough, the next a slight flush and a little fever. The doctor whispered ‘‘consumption”’ to the husband. What could the young man do with $15 a week when the doctor talked of a trip to the Riviera—the south of France. He would work, work, work. But his salary was not raised, and day by day the flush mounted a little higher and day by day the place where dimples once smiled on him were now sunken spots. When he went home one night the doctor was there. “Your wife cannot stand an- other month of this weather,’’ he said. For an hour next morning the young man set at his desk his head bowed in his hands, When he arose it was with a clear pur- pose. With a steady hand he wrote out a check for $450, to which he signed the firm's name, as he hed a right to do. But that afternoon he cashed it as he had not a right to do without the knowledge of the firm. He hoped some day to pay it back. That night the feverish young wife had delicacies she never had .seen before—flow- ers and rare fruits and the new medicines the doctor had prescribed. Hardly a day passed after that that Lou!s Snure did not cash a check at the Pacific Bank. He was hoarding every cent for the trip to the Mediterranean. But not a word of it to his loved one. One day he lost a check in the etreet. A policeman picked it up and took it to Mr. Pursch. “It’s ours,” replied Mr. Pursch, “but I don’t know any such person. How about it, Mr. Snure?’ handing over the check to his clerk, all unsuspic‘ous. “A forgery,” exclaimed the clerk, “I think you ought to go to the bank right away, Mr. Pursch.” Seizing his hat Mr. Pursch hurried over to the Pacific Bank. When he returned Louls Snure had gone. Next morning the police found Snure and his wife had dropped out of sight. Within a week they were on their way to Europe, the wife overjoyed at the fiction that the firm had sent him on a vacation trip and had paid his expenses, “Too late,”’ said the French doctors of the Reviera when they saw the frail young wife. They went to the Southern coast of Ire- land. There was a little rally for a time. Then the wife grew weaker. Wyoming was suggested. The husband clutched this hope like a drowning man. Back they came, to go West. Then the money gave out. Snure tried tu get work under another name. Day by day the white cheeks grew paler. ‘Take me home to die,’ she whispered two weeks ago, while Snure was on his knees at her bedside asking what he could do to ease her sufferings. And eo they came home. O'Brien, the mother, took them in. It wasn’t a week before the police found it out. For five nights Detect- ives Gallagher and Deevey watched the house They knew that within lay a dying woman, for the doctor had told them. “We couldn't arrest the man and kill his dying wife,” said Deevey. At last they could wait no longer. The arrested Snure. He was disguised, but he made no attempt te conceal his identity. “Yes,”’ he said, “I did it. My wife was dying, and it was the only way I could “get money to take her away in the hope of saving her life. But I had hoped to be with her when she died.” They took him to police headquarters, but the poor little woman who was gasp- ing away her life did not know. But soon there came a faint call from the sick chamber: “Has Loule come yet?” “Not et, dear dearie,” answered the mother, Ith a cheerfulness of voice her face be- lied, “But he'll be here any minute now. Go to sleep and I'll wake you when he comes.” In the District Attorney's office Snure confessed everything. He said his steal- ings had amounted to $20,000. : “It Was to save my sweetheart, my wife, that I did it. When she has gone 1 will be content to pay the penalty.” eee ° To-day news reached the Criminal Court The law p Pag Pee Ten cali OE bn hs ap Pee eae Be en i Ae, Mrs. Mary 7 . : q 4 : + 4 ie |: a _ ‘ ~ S re ys ‘ , af, = to Rat ate eget EY en aaa wry DARE NOT VOTE ON THE TREATY, Administration Senators Are Now the Filibusters. THEY ARE SHORT SIX VOTES. SENATOR DAVIS PRACTICALLY ADMITS DEFEAT. The Anti-Imperialists Have Shifted Responsibility for Delay’on to the Shoulders of the Friends of the Treaty. Snecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—The treaty of peace lacks six votes of the necessary two- thirds required for ratification. It may be withdrawn. Yhe Post-Dispatch corre- spondent is authorized to make the former statement on the authority of Senator R. F. Pettigrew, who with Senators Hale, Hoar, Caffery and Jones. is leading the fight against ratification. This positive an- nouncement was made shortly after the Senate adjourned to-day and after a careful] poll of the Senate. The Pettigrew count is regarded as official and the antis are prepared to make their stand on it. Immediately after the official count, Senator Davis was called into the cloak room and told that the opponents are pre- pared for a vote. While this announcement did not come as a complete surprise, he was nevertheless constrained to regard the anti-opposition figures as a bluff. He was forced, how- ever, to admit that he could not agree to set a day for a vote. He endeavored to evade the direct ques- tion of a vote by saying that he desired time fora “fall and free’’ discussion. Every- one knows what this ‘‘full and free d.*cus- sion’’ means. It can have but one inter- pretation—he is afraid of a vote. Senator Davis is a much disappointed man to-night. As the Post-Dispatch told to- Gay Senator Davie is personally in favor of a resolution disc!aiming permanent oc- cupation of the Philippines, and he believes the only hope of passing the treaty at this session lies in the Administration weak- ening. The Democrats made a shrewd move. when they thus shifted the blame for pre- venting a vote onto the shoulders of the Republicans. Administration Senators have sought to chastise the Democrats for their filibustering tactics, but the whole responsibility for preventing a vote now rests on the Republicans. Senators Morgan, Pettus, Gray, Lindsay and Faulkner are the only Democrats who will vote with the Republicans for the rati- fication of the ‘treaty. The indications to-night clearly point to the belief that Senator Davis will withdraw the treaty and consideration at this session will cease. Senator Gorman denies a etatement ac- credited to him that the treaty will be ratified at this session. LOOT OF BANK BURGLARS The Arthur Robbers Abandon a Tin Box Containing Papers Worth One Thousand Dollars. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ARCOLA, IlL., Jan. 21.—A tin box contain- ing checke, certificates of deposit, notes, money orders and other valuable papers aggregating over $1000, and the property of the State Bank of Arthur, which was looted by robbers early Friday morning. was found in a box car by Everett Thomas and Lawrence Lyons in this city today.The car had been switched from the Vandalia road from a point close to here. The thieves abandoned the handcar on which they came to this city at the Thomas Lyons & Co. broomcorn shede, on the Illinois Cen- tral, and the box’ was found when the car was being cleaned for loading. The valu- able little tin receptacle was turned over to the officers of the State Bank of this city, and will be returned to Arthur Mon- day. The find offers no positive clew to the identity of the robbers, but the fact that the negotiable papers were undis- turbed leads to the conclusion that the robbery was not the work of professionals, and that the guilty parties are amateurs, who will yet be captured. A_ vigilant search is still being pursued, but up to a late hour this eyening no clew had been de- veloped. WHY HE VOTED FOR A WOMAN Utah Legislator Perry Praises the Plural Wife of George Q. Can- non’s Brother. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 21.—E. D. #. Perry, Jr., the State Senator who voted for Mrs. Martha Hughes Cannon for United States Senator, gave his reason to the Post-Dispatch correspondent to-night. He Said: “Martha Hughes Cannon, although the plural wife of George Q. Cannon’s brother, is, in my opinion, thoroughly competent for the office of United States Senator. She has served as a member of our State Sen- ate for two years with credit, deserves promotion and is entitled to the promo- tion. She is a representative Democratic woman of the State; her jabors for the success of Democracy have been indefati- gable. She is a public speaker of abil- ity. She is cultured, independent and a physician of recognized standing. “My vote for her was, in a measure, a compliment to the woman herself. I don’t regret it and would support her again if -,sutncient members of the Legislature YY By ee Se ke x 2 ee OC * ‘e 4 - . & " me to J, « a Se aa ees a a .

The Widely Published Story That They Had Buried the Mutual Hatred of Past Not Borne Out by Facts. Special te the Post-Dispatch WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 21.—The al- leged reconciliation between Mrs. Cushman K. Davis and Mrs. Merriam, wife of an ex-Governor of Minnesota, although pub- lished with great detail, has but little foun- dation in fac& The ladies concerned and their friends are much annoyed that euch notoriety should have been given to a very trivial event. ” Mrs. Merriam is coming to Washington to spend the winter and intend'!ng to take a part in society, incurred all the social ob- ligations incumbent on the votaries of Van- ity Fair. One of these obligations is to call on the Senatorge and Representat:ves from her own State. Her call on Mrs. Davis was a simple act of courtesy, the neglect of which would have been a rudeness. The re- port that Mrs. Merriam sent a note to Mrs. Davis announcing her intention to call is not true. There has been no exchange of letterge between the ladies, and their social feud stands exactly where it was before Mrs. Merriam’s call. Each lady meets the other pleasantly in off:cial society, but there is no pretense of friendship between them and there never can be. Mrs. Merriam was accompanied in her cail on Mrs. Davis by ex-Senator Pavey of New York, who is an intimate friend of Gov. Merriam. E€he remained in the house but a few minutes and then called at the home of Mrs. Nelson of Minnesota, where a re- ception was in progress. She called also at about ten other Senatorial houses, On Tuesday of this week she paid her re- spects to many of the wives of the Minne- sota Representatives. Both Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Merriam are very popular in Washington, and there is no doubt that much pressure has been brought to bear to cause a more cordial feel'ng between them. This is particularly true since Governor Merriam aided Senator Davis in his recent fight for the Minnesota seat. According to the testimony of those in close touch with both ladies their present feeling is one of polite indifference. They have a different set of friends, and they are not congenial in their tastes. But they treat each other with perfect courtesy when they are thrown in contact, and that Is all either of them desires. Mrs. Merriam is at home on Monday, and ehe expects Mrs. Davis to return her call then, and with this exchange of courtesies their intercourse for this season will end. “Ne ee The feud between Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Merriam is of about 20 years’ standing. Mrs. Davis was of humble origin, a milliner, and was not in society until she married Senator Davis, then a young man with a firm grasp on the future. As Mr. Davis became politically prominent his wife naturally began to look around in the so- cial swim. But Mrs. Merriam, whose fam- ily connections went back into the early life in Minnesota, never looked her way. Once a milliner always a milliner was her platform and on it she stood, Mr. Merriam prospered and so did Mr. Davis. Each success made the women more révengeful and the mutual dislike be- came a feud. Its end is not in sight. TORMENTORS CAUSED DEATH Mischievous Boys Stone the House of an Aged Married Couple With Fatal Result. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Ind., Jan. 21.—Henry Myers and Mrs, Sarah Sherbourne, aged 75 and 64 respectively, were united in mar- riage last Monday. Since then boys have stoned the aged couple’s house nightly. Last night several more etones were thrown against the house, and the feeble old bride started for a side door, thinking she might get to see who the boys were. The room was dark and the cellar door open. She feil headlong down the steps, crushing her skull. She is rapidiy sinking, and death. is but a question of @ few hours. DIAMONDS WILL BE COMMON. Marked Increased Demand for These Gems by the People of the United States. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch, Copyright, 1889, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Jan. 21.—South African papers state that one of the most remarkable in- dications of the increase of wealth in the United States is the largely increased dc- mand for diamonds in _— So great has been the demand during the past few months that an appreciation of 20 per cent has taken place in the price paid by the public.

Club Snubbed Her, but She Captured the New Governor for Her Private Dinner. ALBANY, Jan. 21.—Albany society is gos- siping over an incident connected with the Fort Orange reception, recently given for Gov. Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt. A prominent society woman, Mrs. John V. IL. Pruyn, asked for an invitation to the reception, but was told that invitations would only be sent to gentlemen and their families and that none would be extended to individual ladies. Mrs. Pruyn is a w‘d- ow. Indignant at the refusal she sent forth invitations for a large dinner party to take place on the evening of the Fort Orange re- ception. The Governor and Mrs. Roosevelt accept- ed Mrs. Pruyn’‘s invitation and were eariy arrivals at the dinner. In the meanwhile the patronessees and others assembled at the Fort Orange Club and awaited the arrival of the distinguished guests. An hour passed and a member of the House Committee tel- ephoned to Mrs. Pruyn that 200 ladies and gentlemen were waiting for the Governor. The answer came sweetly over the tele- phone that ‘‘Gov. Roosevelt is enjoying him- self with his after-dinner cigar and can- not be disturbed.”’ The Fort Orange assembly had been wait- ing about two hours when the Roosevelts came, and while the reception was polite it was scarcely enthusiastic. The club sub- scribed $1500 for the affair and the mem- bers were naturally ind‘gnant over Mrs. Pruyn’s coup. They said it was the last time they would ever give such a function. When the Governor was told of the affair he laughed heartily, but announced that he would not accept any more invitations to private dinners. Mre. John V. L. Pruyn has long been the leader of Albany society. She is about 50 years of age and wealthy. HUNTING FOR LOST TREASURE. Sons of an Illinois Farmer Who Hid His Plate and Wealth May Be Late in Their Search. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NASHVILLE, Ill, Jan. 21.—For the past two weeks a force of men, superintended by Albert and Charles Wunderlich, have been minutely searching for buried treasure on a forty acre farm south of this city, which formerly belonged to August Wun- derlich, who died in the northern part of the State about the close of the civil war. Somewhere on the old farm there is sup- posed to be buried an iron chest contain- ing the family plate, which was brought from Germany, Wunderlich’s native Jand, and the life-time earnings of the thrifty farmer. That the money was at one time buried on the farm is positively known, for the old German had no confidence in banks and always kept his earnings secreted about the home. When Sam Hilderbrand, the famous Missouri guerrilla, appeared in southern Illinois during the civil war the was hiding were panic stricken and most frightened of all was Wunderlich. The fact that the farmer had money secreted about the house had long been common talk and the old man feared to attempt to escape with it alone, as to leave his house would be to invite a raid from the guerrilla band. Wunderlich seized the only avenue for safety and buried his treasure at the dead of night. Soon afterwards he sold ls farm and moved to the northern part of the State, where not long afterwards he suddenly died. He made a partial statement while on his deathbed to his daughter concerning the money. The sons, who are now search- ing for the money, say that it was not sought for sooner because it was not need- ed. They think the box contains a large sum. It may be possible that the money has already been found, for some few years ago a wandering Frenchman, named Jules Chenot, was engaged to work on the farm, which had. passed into other hands. While grubbing stumps one day, Chenot suddenly quit his work and disappeared. In a few weeks he returned, well dressed and with a roll of bills; then he again disappeared. The Wunderlichs intend to prosecute the search for the treasure until every inch of ground shall have been searched. MONTE CRISTO FOR A MINUTE Paris Laborer Finds a Packet Con- taining $120,000 Worth of Bonds in a Sewer. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch, Copsright, 1809, by Press Publishing Company. PARIS. Jan. 21.—Osias, a -sewer man, was for a few short minutes last night a Monte Cristo. In a big sewer he found a large packet containing railway and other securities worth $120,000, He reported his find to the police and was complimented on his honesty. It is supposed that the securities were either lost by @ bank messenger or were dropped into the drain by a pursued thief who hoped to do away with evidence of hig guilt. THEIR THIRD TIME TO WED.

LOUISANS I | BG COMPANY Compressed Air to Be Used as Motive Power. TO OPERATE STREET CARS. RICHARD CROKER HAS COMBINED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Ex-Gov. Francis Said to Be Largely In- terested in the New “St. Louis Auto-Truck Company,”’ Just Organized. A corporation to be known as the &8t. Louis Auto-Truck Co. is to be formed in St. Louis. Its purpose will be the opera- tion of street cars and other vehicles with conpressed air as a motive power. The first-intimation that this move was contempiated was in a publication in the local columns of the Post-Dispatch two weeks ago. The company, which is to have a cap- ftalization of $5,000,000, will be the St. Louis end of Richard Croker’s New York Auto- Truck. Company, which has $10,000,000 cap- ital. Other branches are to be the Phila- delphia Auto-Truck Company, $10,000,000, and the Chicago Auto-Truck Company, $10,- 000,000, making the total capitalization $35,- 000,000. The St. Louisan most prominently men- tioned in connection with the enterprise is ex-Gov. David R. Francis. The backers of the Central Traction Company, repre- sented by Broker John H. Blessing, are said to also be heavily interested. Sufficient capita] to insure the incorpora- tion of the St. Louis Company ifs said to have been pledged. Ex-Gov. Francis is eaid to be enthusiastic in his advocacy of compressed air as a motive power. At two public speeches re- cently at World’s Fair meetings he took occasion to mention it as an agent des- tined to supplant electricity. The object of the New York company, to which the St. Louls company will be tribu- tary, is to purchase or compete with all truck men and delivery wagons of the cities named. It can operate on an ex- tensive basis at a minimum of cost and can thereby take contracts at the lowest figures possible. The same persons who will control the operation of auto-trucks own the company which has the patents, hence the great corporations are wheels | within ima, ns The Philadelphia Motor Wagon Co.,, $1,500,000 capital, with privilege of enlarge- ment, was incorporated in New Jersey yes- terday. There is a connection, it is believed, between this company and the Auto-Truck | Co., of New York, of which District Attor- ‘ney Graham of Philadelphia, is counsel. The New York Auto-Truck Company is ready to work for Uncle Sam. It made its first bid for business by offering to take the contract to carry all imported mer- chandise to the appraiser’s warehouses and bonded warehouses in New York city. The price asked is 10 cents—four and one-half miles each for cases and bales and \% of a cent each for sample packages. There has always been eager competition Usually the successful bidder has found it too big for him, and has had to get other truck men to help him ou. It has amounted to about $200,000 a year. The Auto-Truck Company sent a check for $1000, with ite bid to bind, should it be accepted. The promoters of the St. Louls company have used figures freely in showing the economy which is expected to result from the substitution of compressed air for electricity. Among the arguments ad- vanced was the following table, showing the comparative cost per car mie as shown from the figures compiled in New York and London. The figures given for air power ar computed per car mile by a conservative engineer from the showing of the air mo- tor cars in their trial service: AWAREEE occecncceeseceseccees Sestcccccece Cable oe Electricity emo a ; Electricity (overhead) ....

With them was a Post-Dispatch reporter. “We have not yet solved the problem of carry'ng air motors on auto-trucks. The turning of a curve bothere us,” said J. Craig, Superintendent of the American Aly Power Company to the reporter. Mr. Craig is the builder of compresaed alr motors for street cars. “Mr. Craig does not know what he is | talking about,” said Joseph Hoadley, Pres-— ident of the Auto-Truck Company. when the remark was repeated to him. “He does not know what I. have in my factory in Worcester, Mass. I have a high board fence around the machinery and men guard it with shot guns.” “You can run auto-trucks around a cor- ner at the rate of twenty miles an hour, can you not?” asked Richard Croker of Tt Hoadley, for the benefit of the reporter. “Yes, and cary twenty tons at that,” Was the prompt reply.

NINETEEN PERSONS ON BOARD. SWEPT HELPLESSLY NEAR TO THE CATARACT. Tirally, After Striking the Bridge, the Boat’s Engines Forced Her Clear of the Ice and Saved Her Passengers. i BUFFALO, N. Y., Jan. 21.—Locked itn a huge ice floe the Canadian ferry Niagara, with 19 persons on board, was swept help- lessly down the Niagara River to-night and dismantled by the international bridge. The boat, which plies between this city and Erie, Ont., left her dock near the mouth of the river in the early evening on her last trip of the day, having on board 15 passengers, six of whom were women and two children. He? crew con- sisted of four men. The river was full of floating ice that was drifted in from Lake Erie, but the boat, heading diagonaliy against the current, made her way to the center of the stream. Here she became imbedded in a great fleld of ice and her engines were powerless to propel her. The current at this point is exceedingly swift, and the momentum of the ice field carried the ferry with it. The passengers, real- izing their situation, were horror stricken with the fear of being carsied over the falis and the more imminent danger of being dashed against a pier of the international breyo. The calls cf the ferry whistle at- tracted attention from the shore, and fire tugs were started out a mile above to rescue the helpless craft. The passengers and crew of the Niagara put on life preservers and stood with blanched faces, while the boat swept on- ward. River navigation being closed, the draws of the bride are inoperative and the draw engines dead. It was @Vident that the upper works of the boat could not clear the span, but the great menace was the piers of solid masonry. The current favored the boat, and swept her between the spans a little to the east side of the center of the river. The iron girders of the bridge raked the boat clean off her second deck, carrying away smokestack, pilot house, hurricane deck. The passengers and crew were below deck and escaped injury from the wreckage. Swinging clear of the bridge, the Niagara broke free from the fioe and drifted into a path of clear water. A hand gear was attached to the rudder, the engines, which were uninjured, re- sumed their duty, and the dismembered craft was slowly worked to the dock on the American shore.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. : WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Secretary Alger to-day characterized as absurd the pub- lished reports that he intended resigning from the Cabinet. The statements that Gen. Nelson A. Miles is to be removed is denied by mem- bers of his staff, as well as other officials of the War Department. It is asserted the President would gain nothing by reé moving him at this time, and that had a removal been contemplated, it would have been done during the war. The Eagan episode has developed that Gén. Miles hae some strong friends in the President's official family. They protested against action in Gen. Bagan’s case that would involve the Commanding Genaral, as ‘ the Secretary of War sought to do. Hav- ing so deeply interested themselves in his behalf in that respect, it is reasonable to take for granted that they would enter a : most vigorous protest egainst any action ; looking to his removal. The President has learned, too, that pub- lic sentiment is largely with Gen. Miles, and that to interfere with his official status would invoke public disapproval. The court-martial that will try Brigadier : General Eagan will hold its sessions in the Ebbitt House, commencing at 10 o’clock on Wednesday. It is now contemplated that the hearings will be public as that is the universal rule. Gen. Fagan was at the De- artment to-day in an unofficial capacity. ecretaryv Alger evinces a sympathetic feel- ing for the Commissary General and freely gives him an audience. It can not be seen by army Officials how Gen Miles need be called before the court as he knows nothing of his own know- ledge of the charges preferred against Gen. Eagan. It is held that the offense com- - mitted by the Commissary General bears no S relation to the issue between the two of- = ficials. Just what attitude the President may , assume in the event-the court dismisses Gen. Eagan from the service is purely epeculative at this time as he hag not [n- timated to his closest advisers how he will treat the findings of the court. Gen. Eagan remains reticent, having been advised by his friends and counsel to ray nothing for the present. ; Gen. Miles, likewise, declines to disc..8s the subject and even refrains from corm- menting upon the character of the com- munications upon condemned beef which he is in receint of dally. ACIDS IN THE MEAT. Chemists Substantiate the Testimony of Surgeon Daly. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Prof. F. Wiel- aski, chemist of the United States Geolo- gical Survey, to-day reported to the War Investigating Commission that his test of the powder furn'shed by Surgeon Daly ‘as YO Ne, a Ee al tee ca cf a portion of the condemned beef on the boric acid was unobjectionable and that it had no offensive odor. Prof. Clarke took the w'tness stand and Was closely examined. He said the powder was of a brownish color, while pure borax is white, but did not explain the difference. Witness said he could say nothing of the origin of the materials tested or could he state the probable amount of these chemical agents used that would De ex- tracted in making tea from the beef with- Out more material and longer time. Lar- ger quantities of such chemicals for pres- ervatives, however, he said, would be un- necessary and would be ane expensive | Waste. The boracic acid he said, imparts no eget odor whatever to meat. The salicylic acid also, he said, was odorless and he could not say whether it forms any compounds with the flesh of cattle that would produce odor. “Would it not be probabie,””. he was ‘ asked, ‘‘that meat. kept for a time vary- ing from one to twelve weeks in cold stor- age covered by cheese cloth, would be af- fected by substances in the cheese cloth?’ you examined came from beef tea.’”’ “No, I did not inquire into its origin.’’ Gen. Beaver read from Surgeon Daly’s report on the beef on the Panama procured at Ponce, saving eome of it “Tasted like Se decomposed boric acid.” “Now,” he aeked, “if there ts no per- ceptible taste In borte acid, would its use in any quantity in meat imparf any such taste?’ nee “Lehould say not,”’ answ? the witness. “Then we have disposed of that,’*’ com- mented Gen.

The use of the boric acid on meat furnished troops, in his cpinion, would be of very little importance from a health view, but the salicylic acid would be ob- Jectionable. The effect of the preservatives Was tu make the meat keep longer. If the meat were kept 4 hours after leaving the . refrigerator. the chemicals might retard putrefaction. 3 “If the boric acid were used in the meat F % . would it impart, as has been testified to, a taste so bitter, nauseaus and unpalatable as to make it unfit for use?’ witness was asked, and he réplied: “No, sir.” Paymaster Henry G. Colbert of the navy estified to large purchases by him of beef or the navy. The purchases were from the same firm which supplied the army. He gaid the meat gave general satisfaction and there were no complaints. When aeked if there were any evidences of chemicala be- ing used he answered in the negative. SCARLET FEVER AT LINCOLN.

A Letter Gives a Clew to the Murderers of Mrs. Adams and Henry C. Barnet. NBPW YORK, Jan. 21.—A piece of evidence tending to connect the murderer of Mrs. Adams with the death of Henry Crossman either tend to olear the person most under suspicion in the Adams case. or to establish the fact that he had an accomplice, nas been discovered by the police. According to an admission made by Capt. McClusky to- day the discovery came about through an inspection of thousands of requests for samples of Kutnow powders, which the po- lice some weeks ago admitted were in their ands. It was a Kutnow powder containing cy- anide of mercury that was sent to Barnet and the handwriting on the Cornish pack- age and that of the request sent to the Kutnow people asking for a sample of the powder is the same, according to William J. Kinsley and David Carvalho, the hand- writing experts. This request asks for a Sample of the powder to be sent to a pri- vate letter box address in this city. Post- master Van Cott denies that it is a post- office letter box, and it is believed that the address was a private letter box in an up- town cigar store. It is said that the police have accepted the theory that two persons were concerned in the poison plot, and that Capt. McClusky believes that ihe poisoner’s accomplice wrote the letter now in the possession of the experte, as well as the address on the package sent to Cornish. As €00n as the latest reports are made by Kinsley, Carvalho and Prof. Witthaus an arrest, or possibly two arrests, will be made. Capt. McClusky gaid to-day that when an arrest Was made it would not be in Brooklyn, nor Newark, but in Manhattan. DISPLAY TO THE CUBANS. ——— - American Troops Will Be Sent March- ing Over the Island.

TRUNK LEFT BY A BOARDER. ™M™. LABBEE TOANED A STRANGER TEN DOLLARS ON IT. Owner Disappeared and After Four Years the Laborer Found It Con- tained Securities and Railway Bonds Valued at $60,000. CHICAGO, 01, Jan. 21.—In an old trunk that had been hypothecated to him for the eum of $10, M. Labbee of 315 Englewood ave- nue found enough municipal, government and railroad bonds to make himself and family independent for life With the finding of the valuable secur!l- ties, Labbee, who is an employe of the old Chicago Storage and Loan Co., encountered a mystery which no one seems able to ex- pialn. The bonds represent a face value of $60,- 000, but are actually worth double this sum. Among them are $15,000 worth of bonds is- sued by the government of Mexico and guaranteed by the United States at the set- tlement of the Mexican War. These bonds are dated 1849, and as none of the coupons have ever been detached ‘persons knowing of Labbee’s find believe that the bonds were probably the result of some big robbery or crime committed half @ century ago, and that when the numbers vf the bonds are made % the police or overnment agents will be able to trace hem from the original owners. With the Mexican bonds in the ancient trunk Labbee found ten $1000 bonds issued vy the Illinois Central Railroad and about worth of municipal securities. Four years ago a stranger of middie age, whose name Labbee refuses to make known, roomed in the same house with the storage employe. The men became good friends and four years » when the stranger told Labbee that he was ing away, the latter loaned him $10, retaining his trunk as security. Little more than a year before his re- moval he received a letter from the origi- nal owner of the trunk, telling him that he could keep it and its contents if it was not redeemed within one year. This letter was indorsed by a United States Marshal. When he set the iron box away he made @ mental caloulation of the date upon which the year’s time for redemption would expire. ‘Ba me Fortune was not kind to Labbee. On more than one occasion he saw his fam- ily in actual want. Suddenly he remem- bered that the old trunk now covered with cobwebs and a thjck layer of dust was his prepery: With a hatchet Labbee forced the ock, A few garments of doubtful value _ met his gaz a.

But the defendant brought out the fact that if the strychnine had been taken in milk in the crystal forma- tion it might have taken a half an hour longer before the symptoms would have shown themselves. And so at this most interesting point Prof. Haines had to halt. He could not testify as to what the strych- nine was taken with. Salts were found in the stomach as well as milk, and between these two ints the battle of the legal giants will be fought. The matter of the financial standing of the deceased was gone into. He had as- aets to the amount of about $13,000, but his liabilities were so heavy that he would have hardly pulled through even. At the most he would not have had to exceed $1500.

Gonflicting Reports Concerning the Landing of Gen, Miller’s Troops on an Island Near the City of Iloilo. MANILA, Jan. 13, via Hong Kong, Jan. 21.—The Americans and Filipinos were prob- @bly nearer a conflict this afternoon than a@t any time since the occupation. Fortu- nately the matter was amicably settled.

As the Filipinos disobeyed the command to hak, deployed in the cane- brake and assumed a determined, threaten- ing attitude, Lieut. Jansen, who was in command of the post, telegraphed to brigade headquarters and Gen. Otis per- sonally investigated the matter. The Fil- ipino Captain was summoned and he was also found to be excited. As a result of the conference he admitted that the Fili- pipe Lieutenant had exceeded his authority. is men were drawn up in line, saluted, courtesies were exchanged and the Fiii- Bipos Evieed. 1¢ incident is significant as it show tendency of the Filipinos to disregard Bes. ets, knowing that the Americans are not willing to commence hostilities, and it also demonstrates the danger of irresponsible junior officers of the Filipino army pre- cipitating trouble at any moment. Another proclamation, purporting to b issued by an American and signed “W, T.,’ appeared on Friday and appealed in broken Hnglish to brother Americans and com- r des to let the Filipinos alone and that f their officers compelled them to fire Please fire in the air.” The proclamation 4150 appealed to Americans to disregard Filipinos “who pretend to favor annexa- tion, “amd alleged ‘that the American agitation to hold the islands is fostered by p ~ ew officers whe are making money there- yy.’ The proclamation concluded with para- phrasing the Monroe Doctrine in the words ‘The Philippines for the Filipinos.” . native dentist here named Arevelo has cen arrested.

The Escolla, the usually busy thoroughfare, was deserted on Sat- urday night. A score of groundless alarmist rumors are still abroad, but confience is being re- stored. NO NEWS FROM OTIS. Nothing Definite to Indicate That Mill- er’s Men Have Landed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ’ WASHINGTON, Jan, 21.—Secretary Alger said late this afternoon that no new ad- vices had been received from Gen. Otis giving information of the situat‘ton at Ilo- ilo. The officia) information received yes- terday led to the belief that Gen. Miller's forces had landed at‘ Guimarls, but up to a jate hour this afternoon the Secretary had received nothing to indicate that Gen. Miller had been repulsed, as stated in dispatches from Hong Kong. Yesterday's information was that Gen, Mililer’s expedition had landed on Guimars Islands, three miles from lloilo, without opposition. The landing, it was said, necessary because of the crowded tion of troops on the transports. ence has proved that soldiers lose spir't and fighting qualities when confined long on board ship, so the War Department asked Ger Otis to ascertain if it was pes- sible for Gen. Miller to land his exped'tion near Iloilo. He wag reported to have eabled that it was and to have been then instructed to order a landing. it was deemed imadvisabie to have this expedition return to Manila without hav- ing landed because it was feared the na- tives of Luzon would think the Filipines at Iloilo had repulsed the AmericaNs. MANY IMMUNES ARE SICK. Capt. Whitaker Says Hundreds Will Die Unless Brought Home. Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Cavt. E. &. Whitaker of the Fifth Regiment Volunteer Immunes to-day called at the War Depart- ment in company with Senator McEnery and Representative Davie of Louisiana, They held a protracted conference with the Adjutant General regarding the regiment, which Capt. Whitaker claims is in a most deplorable condition. He asked that it be brought to the United States, as otherwise the men would die by the hundreds. “That would be equivalent to mustering them out,’’ said Gen. Corbin. ‘‘We have no need for them here.”’ ‘That’s exactly what we want. A ma- jority of the regiment desires to quit the service and return to their homes,’’ re- plied Capt. Whitaker. At the combined request Gen. Corbin promised to look over the copies of the sick reports submitted and stated that if possible he would comply with the request, The officials of the War Department are very much averse to mustering out regi- ments until Congress makes some provision for increasing the army.

SPRINGFIELD, IIL, Jan, 21.—Harry A. Kumler, a member of the Legislature from this district, and his partner in the publi- cation of the Daily News, Herman D. Schlick, were to-day indicted by the grand ont for criminal libel. In the issue of Jec. 24 of the News there appeared an item to the effect that it was rumored on the street that Edward McDermott of St, Louis, interested in the Citizens’ Coal Mining Co., had abscOnded with $7000 of the company’s funds. Kumler being a member of the Legislatu.e¢, could not, while a member of that body, be arrested. Schlick, as soon as he heard of the action of the grand jury, furnished bond. McDermott brought a suit in foreclosure in the United States Cireuit Court against the Citizens' Coal Mining Co. He forecloses on a mortgage held against the company for $7000.

SAMOA AND THE TREATY. The present tripartite agreement under which Samoa is ‘‘protected’’ by the United States, England and Germany grew out of the trouble which began in 1886, when the German and American Consuls came into conflict. The Malietoa then on the throne wes at war with the native rebels, when an officleus German Admiral seized upon the occasion to assure the rebel] leader that he should be supported. Out of the complications then arising sprung the con- ference of the German, British and Ameri- can powers in Berlip in 1889. treaty then formed bound the contracting parties to maintain Samoa as an independent, neu- tral aud autonomous government, under their protection. The Samoans were to have the right elect their own King and choose their own form of government, but in the event of a failure to make a peaceful choice, or of any conflict among > the natives, the power to decide the case at issue was vested in a Supreme Court, which consists of a single Judge, appointed by the three powers, who is Judge Cham- bers, an American. In the present conflic the natives, instead “2 decision of the Supreme Judge, went to war, and defeated Malietoa Tanus, whorn o Supreme Justice Chambers had declared to be elected after the death of King Maliet- toa. It is now repgrted that the German Consul not only péfused to recognize Mal- fetoa, but took’ it upon himself to defy the Supreme Judge and close his court. There the matter rests, and though the British and American Consuls, acting in concert with a British warship, have In- sisted on the restoration of the court, they have recognized, for some mysterious reason, the provisional government set up with German approval and await instruc- tions from their respective governments. The Samoan group comprises 13 islands, of which three are of considerable size, The largest, Savaii, is 40 miles long and 20 miles broad, and bas a population of 12,500. Of less extent, but greater popu- lation, is Upolu, on which Apia is situated, This istand bag an area of some 550 square miles, and containg about 16,600 inhab- itants. It is the richest of them all and the head center of political controversics. The total population of the islands is about 35,000. Samoa’s chief value to the three inter- ‘ested powers lies in its position. It is an excellent naval station, lying on the route from Hawaii to Australia and New Zealand. There are few foreigners among the per- manent residents, and these are classified as follows, according to the latest statis- ‘ties available: British subjects, 203; ‘German, 120; American, 26; French, 26; ether nationalities, 25. Samoa is 2000 miles from Hawall and 4000 from the Philippines. ~— Med lie Me A > e~* en + ot pd bt Oe ed ~ eat s Ct oe oT be he to TOOTH ORR EA ~ it appears that ubmitting to the > os © on * oe * CPG CHO ah en? a.m, . e _ OO + af = YY 5 ° > . POO WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—It can be stated authoritatively that if the published re- ports of the events at Apia are true, that the acts of the German Consul Rose, and of the President of the Municipal Council, Raffel, were not the result of instructions from the German Government, and so far as theee acts were violative of the trealy of Berlin, it is not believed at the State Department that they will receive the ap- proval of the German Government. The German Ambassador, Dr. Von Hol- lenben, called on Secretary Hay at the State Department to-day and presentetd twe important dispatches from the German Government relating to the critical condi- tion of affairs in Samoa. Following this an extended conference was held between Mr. Hay and the Ambassador and then be- tween Mr. Hay and the British Ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote. The dispatches communicated by the German Ambassador dealt not only with the question of policy involyed but are understeod to have pre- sentated in detail the facts of the recent collision in Samoa as viewed from the German standpoint. They differ in many essential particulars from the statement made heretofore. It was stated after the several conferenees by a diplomatic official high in authority that the latest aspects ot the case were such as to make a peaccful adjustment probable. The impression pre- vails in diplomatic quarters that Germany will repudiate the action of her Consul. it is stated positively that the United States Government had not, up to noon to-day made a protest, either alone or in conjunc- tion with Great Britain. _— RANGES.

Story on the Administration Mouth- piece by the Beacon Light of the Pacific. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. #1.—J. Ham Lewis, whom Uncle Joe Cannon dubbed ‘‘The Bea- con Light of the Pacific,” told a good story in the House in his remarks in reply to an attack from Gen. Grosvenor, the ad- ministration whip. Here it is: “In observing this never-failing resort of my friend from Ohio, I am reminded of an incident related of a gambler on the Mis- sissipp! River. After pursuing his vocation for a long time it came to his lot to become a Baptist clergyman, after which it was his pleasant duty to engage in the immer- sion of his fellow-beings. On one particular occasion the banks of that noble stream were lined with people to watch one of these baptisme. “The old gentleman had a little grandson who well knew his grandfather’s past pre- dilections, and. who managed to slip into the old man’s pocket a pack of cards. ‘‘The time came for the baptism, and the old gentleman, amd the hosannahs of the throng, proceeded into the water, when all at once there slipped from his pocket on the stream an ace of diamonds, then a king, then a queen and a jack, and following that a ten spot. When the boy’s mother saw this she knew what had occurred, and whitened with dismay. she turned to the boy and said: ‘O, Jackey, what lave you done? Dear, dear! your poor old grandpa will never get out of there alive!’ ‘What's dat?’ said Jackey. ‘Never git out of dere alive? Well, if grandpa can’t get out on dat hand. he a'n't de man he used to be.’ ’’ A sreat peal of laughter greeted Mr, Lewis’ co*ciuding words, Republicans and Demo- crats joining in. TO RETIRE THE GREENBACKS. House Committee Sets the Gold Dollar as the Only Standard. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. — The House Coinage, Weights and Measures Commit- tee to-day by a strict party vote ordered Representative Hill's bill to fix the stand- ard of value in the United States and for other purposes.. The bill provides in gub- stance that the standard of value in the United States shall be gold dollars, that all contracts existing and in the future shall be computed in reference to the standard, that there shall be established in the Treasury a department of issue_and redemption, that the greenbacks shal] he retired and upon retirement that gold bills shall be substituted therefor.

Lively Scene Was Caused by a Motion to Consider the Anti- Scalping Bill. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan, 21.—The anti-scalp- ing bill, which prohibits the ‘‘scalping”’ of railroad tickets, was brought before the Senate to-day after an exciting scene which came near ending in a personal al- tercation between Senator Tillman and Senator Sewall of New Jersey. Immediately after the passage of the Nicaragua Canal bill, Senator Wolcott of Colorado moved to proceed with the con- sideration of the House scalping bill. Its opponents were taken by surprise, as they understood that the bill was not to be considered at this session. Senator Tillman jumped to his feet and protested. He moved that the House Dill be sent to the committee. This being a privilege motion, and always in arder, it carried. Then Senator Wolcott moved to take up the Senate bill, which is almost a duplicate. There was a running fire of debate in which several Senators joined, Tillman and Sewall being the principals. Senator Tillman ac- cused the friends of the bill of bad faith, inasmuch as there was a tacit agreement that it should not be taken up without the consent of the Interstate Commerce Com- mittee. Senator Sewall resented the im- putation, and there was an exchange of sharp words. The Vice President was com- pelled to rap loudly for order. And after a parting blast at Senator Tillman the New Jersey Senator was seated. Senator Wolcott, who was still standing, insisted upon his motion. Senator Chandler, another opvonent of the bill, endeavored to make a personal explanation, but Senator Sewall, who was very. angry, objected, and the New Hampshire Senator was forced to his seat, Senator Chandler was considerably irri- tated and defied the New Jersey Senator by moving to proceed with executive business. A roll call was demanded and the motion was defeated. Again Senator Wolcott renewed his mo- tion to bring up the Senate bill, and it was earried by a vote of 21 to 33, and the bill of unfinished business. The vote in detail was as follows: AYES.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 21.—General freight agents of the Southern railroads spent another day in Birmingham, hold- ing conference with reference to rates on Southern pig iron.

The Southern furnaces are in a position to stand the advance as the foreign demand is very active and the foreign trade more remunerative than the domestic business. So much so that South- ern furnaces have practically ceased to compete for current domestic trade. FAVOR AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY. Bricklayers Leave Final Decision to Their’ Executive Committee.

The deorkeeper asked the boy—for the freight happened to be of this gender— to wait a moment, but he insisted that his card be taken in at once, ~~ In a few moments Representative Norton appeared. He asked the boy who he was and what he wanted.

WOBBLING Aguinalde Whitecotton’s Ferces May Disintegrate. a ees en ee SOME ONE HAS BLUNDERED. — INSURGENTS WHO WON’T BE LA- BELED “ASSISTANT RE- PUBLICANS.” — ee Many Prominent Democrats Who Voted Against Ward Will Not Be Led Into a Crusade Against the Speaker. ee Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 21.—trov. Stephens’ vicious attack on Representative Whitecotten drove a wedge into the Fili- pino orgunigation in the House, and to- day several-members who were counted as joyal “insurgents” are hedging. Whitecotton's unfortunate interview, printed in a Republican organ, which he claims was garbled and incorrectly quoted ‘4 weveral important passages, gave the Governor wu chance to put him and his fol- lowers in the attitude of assistant Ke- publicans, “Ir Jim Whitecotton said he had from 2 to 2 followers with whose votes he cou,d absolutely control legislation, he is not 60 wise us 1 thought he was,"’ said onc member,.. who has been counted as a Fili- ino. “If such were the case, it would be d politics to say 50." | Such men as Hall of Saline, Hawkins of Marion and Slute of Maries, who were will- ing enough tv assist Whitecotton in all legitimate efforis to restrict legislation in the direction of increasing the Governors putronage and legislation which tends to unduly interfere with strictly local affairs, ure not. willing to have their constituents and the peopie of the State generally hbe- lieve they are in league with the Repub- licans to block legislation that really may be needed, but the passage of which may reflect some degree of credit upon the Ad- ministration and the Speaker. They regard such a course as suicidal, and are letting ii be known that they are not blindly fol- low'ng Whitecotton or anybody else. “This Filipino movement,” said Hall yes- terday, “has been exaggerated. So far as [I am concerned, I wear no man’s _ collar. There are a great,many members like my- eelf who propose to vote as they think right, and who will oppose any measure that they do not approve of, regardless of who may be behind it. Some of these voted for Ward and some did not. I object to be- ing placed in the position of conniving with the Republicans to satisfy personal re- venges and animosities.”’ Judge Hawkins. was aghast when he saw the Whitecotton statement and the Gov- ernor’s reply. The Judge is one most fearless members on the floor, Was an ardent supporter of Whitecotton for Speaker, but he repudiates any design to ally himself with Republicans for the purpese of embarrassing the Speaker or the Governor. The truth of the whole business is that the men who voted for Whitecotton for Speaker and a few who are discontented over committee assignments, were willing to support him in his fight against the pro- »sed political raid on St. Louis offices; ut they did not see far enough into the future to discern where their movement might lead them unless their leader was very careful and possessed of excellent dgment. The eves of some of them have en opened and they are bunting for cover. Whitecotton gave his enemies further ground for suggesting that he was not sin- cere in his motives, and especially his an- nounced intention of preventing extrava- gance, by offering the resolution to give each member who is not the chairman of a committee a clerk at $2.50 a day. The adoption of this resolution would add $240 a vo to the expenses of the House, or $14,400 additional for the period stated in the resolution, 60 days, This additional expense, in view of the fact that this session is vastly more expensive than others because of its revision work, is regarded by most members as absurd, and Whitecotton is given no praise for introducing it.

Delay in the Repoft of the Board of Equalization. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON OITY, Mo., Jan. %.—The annual report of the proceedings of the State Board of Equalization is nearly six months overdue, and the delay in its is- ne has caused much comment among those who are inter is that important a - - =~ 2 Many excuses have been offered for this delay. The real reason for it is that there is a disagreement between the members of the board over certain parts of the the roceedings which one faction wishes pub- ished with the report and the other fac- tion does not wish published. The section of the Proceedings in dispute is that part containing a number of reso- lutions offered by Attorney-General Crow calling for a more rigid 48sessment of the propery of certain great cor vrationg like the Western Union Telegraph Co.. the 8t. Louis Terminal Railway. Co., the Laclede Gaslight Co, and a numer of other fran- chise-holding corporations, These resolu- tions caused a hot discussion and some feel- ing at the t.me. They were voted down by three mempers of the Board, constituting a majority. After the session of the Board was ended and the time arrived for print- ing the report the dispute arose over the same resolutions. The Attorney-General in- éisted that the resolutions were a part of the record and muet have a Place in the re- port. he three members who had voted them down opposed their Insertion in the report. Ine dispute has delayed the iseu- ance of the report to this time. Atiorney- General Crow still sticks to his 20sition and it is understood that he stands ready Me Ape at Se ~ gounts if necessary to com- € e Board to print th 3 ons ihe an ing p the resolutions in ust how the matter will be settle known, If the Board persists in Ane the resolutions and the Attorney-General! resorts to the courts the resolutions wil! be given more publicity than if they went into si Pi A hc question, orney-General Crow declines t ise tne matter, and Auditor Seibert, a ge member of the Board, says the report will be Out in a few davs. LINDELL RAILWAY SUIT. The Supreme Court Will Hear the At- torney-General Monday. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 21.—The Su- reme Court will hear the caseof the At- torney-General against the Lindell Railway Co. on Monday afternoon next. The case will be argued on a motion filed by the at- torneys of the railroad companies on the pleadings. This motion sets out that the Suit was prematurely brought, and hence the railroad company Ought not to have to answer by presenting evidence, but that it was entitled to judgment in its favor on the pleadings. The docket for court en banc has been set, beginning on Tuesday morning next and continuing for three days. Among the important cases docketed for hearing at this time are those against the express companies doing business in the State, to compel them to pay the war revenue tax, which they have so far required the ship- pers to pay. The suit of the Attorney-General against the foreign insurance companies doing bus- iness within this State, outside of St. Louis and Kansas City, for forfeiture of their li- censes for violation of the State anti-trust law, is set for hearing at this time. There are 738 defendants in this suit. The case of the Missouri Railroad Com- missioners against the M., K. & T. R. R. to compel the defendant to do away with its arbitrary rate over the Boonville Bridge ‘has been continued to the April term on stipulation. ROZELLE-CARROLL FIGHT. Call for a Meeting of the Populist Com- mittee Is Significant. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 21.—Secre- tary A. C. Talley of the Populist State Central Committee, has called a meeting of the committee to be held here on Wednesday next, ostensibly to wind up the business of the committee for the last campaign, but it is generally accepted here that the committee is called to meet at this time to take action in the labor com- missioner contest. Talley is a friend of the present commissioner, A. Rozelle, and wants him to be re-appointed. M.'V. Car- roll, chief clerk in the office, is making a strong fight for the place as a Democrat, he ‘having affiliated with the Democratic arty in the last cempaten. It is general- y understood that Gov. Stephens has paid his debts to the Populists for helping to elect him Governor and that he is ready to appoint a Democrat to the sition and since Carroll has secured the indorsement of a majority of the Democratic members of the Legislature and from many lead- ing Democrats, it looks like he would get the appointment, notwithstanding the Pop- ulist committee does indorse Rozelle.

PROVIDES FOR TRIAL BY JURY INSTEAD OF JUDGES. The Law Has the Indorsement of Good Lawyers and if Passed It Will Stand the Test of the Courts. LS Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 21,--An anti-trust bill that is unique will be intro- duced in the House Monday by a prominent member, who prefers that his identity be not revealed in advance of the bill’s in- troduction. ; The measure has the sanction ot Attor- ney General Mdward C. Crow. He does not claim its authorship, but he hada ve eparation. He evays it is the work os “ peanber of the best lawyers in the State and that it will stand tne test of the court. : The feature of the proposed law that makes it unique is the provision which makes the operation of a trust in the ate cepted sense of that term of any kind or Gescription a high crime and misdemeanor, and provides for the prosecution of the offender or vffenders by criminal process, including trial before a jury, instead of a judge. A close study of the accompanying copy of the bill shows with what carefulness it was drafted. The bill follows: An act in relation to the punishment of persons and corporations for oppressive and injurious acts * Saree against in- dividuals or partnersnips. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, ae follows: Section 1. Any person or persons or assocl- ations of persons or corporation who shall hereafter, directly or indirectly, oppress Or injure or defraud or hinder any person or Eersons or partnership of persons in their usiness, trade, occupation or means of livelihood by selling the like or a similar article or articles, or products or manu- factures, of whatsoever kind, nature or character, while such person or persons Or partnership of persons may have for sale, at a lower rate or price than the same can then and there prima facie be sold at the then and there existing market rates, w'thout seeming or apparent loss, or shall give away or cause to be given away any such like or similar articie or articles, or products, or manufactures, of whatsoever kind, nature or character, with intent or with a view to injure, de- fraud or oppress or hinder or break down any other such person, persons or part- nership of persons in his, her or thetr busi- ness, trade, occupation or means of live- lihood; any such person or persons or as- sociation of persons or corporation so of- fending shall be deemed guilty of a high crime and misdemeanor and on conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1000, and in all prosecutions or suite under this act the jury trying the cause shall, under the di- rection of the court, determine the law and the fact to the same extent as in cages of libel. Section 2. If any person or persons or part- nership of persons shall be, directly or indirectly, broken down or defeated in his, her, or their business aforesaid, by any of the acts and doings aforesaid, then the fines mentioned in the next pre- ceding section may be increased, at the discretion of the jury, 50 per cent. Section 8. All the prosecutions had under this act shall be by indictment or infor- mation and shall be conducted by the At- torney-General in the Circuit Court or Criminal Court of the County or City in which the indictment may be found or the information may be filed. Section 4. Any person or persons or part- nership of persons who shall, directly or indirectly, be oppressed or injured or de- frauded or hindered or broken down in his, her or their business, trade, occupa- tion or means of livelihood, by any person or persons, or association of persons, or corporation, by “~,§ of the means or meth- ods aforesaid shall have a right of action against whoever shall, directly or indi- rectly, be guilty of any of the acts or do- ings in section 1 of this act described. And if damages are recovered they shall be for a sum not less than $200 nor more than $000; and such damages thus re- ageeres may, 7. oe ma 5S te of the trial co » ON motion for that purpos doubled by such court. ayant Section 5. Whenever any conviction shal) be had of any corporation under the pro- visions of this act, the Attorney-General, acting under the provisions of this act, may proceed against such corporation by quo warranto, and on proper proof made the court hearing the cause may award judgment of ouster. And this section and this act ehall apply as well to foreign cor- orations doing business in this State as o the domestic corporations of this State Section 6. Whereas, There exists in thie State a practice by corporations, trusts and others of oppressive and injurious acts and doings so numeroug and flagrant toward small dealers as to create a neces- sity and emergency, that this act shall be enforced at once, therefore, this act shal) take effect and be enforced from and after its passage. It will be observed that trust offenders are first amenable under the law as crimi- nal offenders and may be fined up to $1500, They are then open to prosecution by their victims, who may recover damage up to $10,000, and finally they are subject: to quo warranto proceedings by the At- torney General. The emergency clause is added with a purpose. Attorney Genera] Crow is pre- pared to put the act to practical test as soon as it is approved. He has the evidence in the peculiar civil suit heard at Joplin, this State, recently, in which the trial judge ruled that a cor- poration which was a part of a trust co not collect debts by legal process, inasmuc as the trust has no standing before the law. This suit was filed by the Aetna Pow- der Company against a local dealer at Jop- lin for the recovery of a sum due it for goods furnished. The defendant set up the novel defense that the plaintiff was part of a trust and, therefore, in violation of an existing anti-trust law of the State. The evidence in the trial of the case sat- isfied the court that the plaintiff was a part of a trust, and the defense was held . Testimony of the character brought out in this suit is hard to get, and Attor- pey-General Crow secured a transcript of t. Immediately upon the passage of the above measure he will commence pro- ceedings against the corporation involved, under this act. In the prosecution. the tes- timony in the Joplin case will be used to make a case under the new law. “T am sure,” said the Attorney-General, “that this law, if enacted, will etand the test of the courts. I did not draw it alone, Some of the best lawyers In the State have had a hand in it and we are all confident of its validity. It Is unique tn that it pro- vides a new way to get at the trusts. By trying offenders before juries instead of judges we have more chance of securing convictions.” The Fiorida Air Line—most attractive route to Jacksonville, via Lexington, Chat- tanooga, Atlanta and Macon.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Jan. 21.--Dr. Anh- drew Jackson Blackwell, whose death at his home in David,O.T., occurred this week. was decidedly one of the characters on the Southwest border. Of his early life but iittl is known, ag he was always reticent on that subject, but his queer deeds for the past quarter of a century, since he became a noted character in the Southwest, are talked about by ev- -_-_—__ hw uy) oL. A.J. BLACKWE! -_—_— erybody. Although he claimed the Indian Territory as his residence, he was just as much at home anywhere within a radius of 200 miles surrounding. He had a way of making himself known wherever he went. He was a strange combination of the good and the erratic. He would kill a man, or he would befriend him; he would preach a funeral sermon, or play a stiff game of poker; he would make a trade by which he would profit thousands of dollars, or he would give away as much and say noth- ing about it; he would lay down his life for a friend, or he would pursue an enemy to the brink of the grave; he built towns and railroads, and he destroyed towns and railroads. In short, he came very nearly doing just as Dr. Andrew Jackson Blackwell pleased. Of magnificent physique, magnetic man- ner and strong personality, he stood strong among men. And the title of king aptly applied to him so far as his relations with the dwellers in the Cherokee Nation were concerned. There is probably not another man in the world just like Dr. Blackwell, and there probably never will be. His disposition to do as he pleased re- gardless of all laws and customs once re- sulted in penitentiary incarceration. That was when Joplin was a new mining cam a score or more years ago. Dr. Blackwell lived there then and he was one of the most conspicuous figures in all the mineral belt. , His shrewd foresight told him that Joplin was destined to be a town of permanent importance, and he set all of the idle workingmen in the camp to erecting busi- ness houses which ne rented. Among others was a costly opera house that would do credit to a town three times the size of Joplin. One day while Dr. Blackwell was superintending the work on the opera house, a Government detective tapped him on the shoulder and said he wanted to see EEE ES AS ROIS Pm DTuNKeNness Cured.

Federal officers had been working on the case for several months, and aithough a shrewd dector had covered hia tracks well, he had failed to burn all of the bridges, and at last enough evidence was secured to warrant his arrest. Joplin and the whole mineral region of Southwest Missouri had been flooded with spurious bank notes, 5° cleverly executed that none but an expert could detect the difference. His arrest was a@ great surprise to the citizens of the com- munity, for the word of Dr. Andrew Jack- son Blackwell had been law to them. it afterwards developed that he had paid for several of his buildings with the counter- feit issue. He was tried and‘ convicted and sen- tenced to ten years in the penitentiary. He wanted to go to the Missouri penitentiary if he must go, dec’aring that if the authori- ties would allow him to serve his sentence near ,ome, he would be able to carry on his vullding boom by issuing directions from behind prison wails. But the Gov- ernr’ent was not interested in his personal affaires, and he was sent to the Detroit penitentiary. He was a model prisoner, and although hundreds of miles away from Joplin he directed the finishing of his pro- jected buildings by mail. He compromised with the Government by surrendering the outfit with which he had made the queer money. This happened a few months after he had donned the stripes, and at the ex- iration of the first year of his sentence ~ was pardoned by the President. He then returned to Joplin and made fur- ther investments. He cleared Up a4 fortune and taking it with him went to the Indian Territory and married a Cherokee belie. That added te his wealth, for with the bride came vast landed ssessions. By one scheme and another it was not long until the “white Medicine Man,” as, the na- tives called him, had a corner on much of the best land in the Cherokee Nation. The Indians, even the big chiefs, were awed when in his presence, and he seemed to hold the red men spellbound by some su- pernatural power, When civilization encroached upon the In- dian country Dr. Blackwell was in high glee, for he went right to work surveying townsites and selling options on lots. It was impossible for him to give a warranty deea, but he gave the purchasers to under- stand that the deed would be forthcoming as soon as the laws were modified so that such document would be recognized. He made the town of Blackwell, which is named fer him, and after he saw it grow into a ari place, he moved to another location an started a town which he called David, and which was thereafter his abiding place so long as he lived. He was also instrumental in the founding of sev- eral other Oklahoma and Indian Territory towns. The towns that grew up under the hand of Blackwell were no pine vil- lages, but substantial towns, for it was in his power to make or break, and a town that had his good will was sure to have at least a few ovretentious buildings, and other evidences of progress. There is more than one thrilli chapter in the story of Dr. Blackwell's life. Not- able among these was an incident that oc- curred many years ago, before this ec- centric man had secured full control over the redskins. He had made some geeatic land deals, that displeased the tribe and a council of war was held. It was decided that nothing but the scalp of Blackwell and some white cattle men he had imported would satisfy the grievance. Accordingly a band of painted savages swooped down upon them. The whole party ght have been scalped, but for Blackwell's calmness and the magical work of his wife. She made an appeal for her husband. Mean- while he stood boldly out, and his bluff and the native influence of his wife combined to save him. He was never bothered by the Indians again, although he did not en ag his course of land speculation in the east. Of late years, however, he encountered trouble with the white population of Black- well, by importing a carload of negroes. Public opinion was decidedly against the black man, and there was a general up- rising. Blackwell then left Blackwell for a time and aevoted attention to David, The title of ‘‘doctor’’ originated because he had been a medical student whep he was a young man. He did not practice medi- cine, and was quite as generally known by the title of ‘“‘colonel.” One of his hob- bies was to ‘“‘stake’’ country newspapers. He has furnished printing outfits to several tramp printers and some of them are now prosperous country editors in Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. To Col, Blackwell rr as much as to any other individual] is due the credit for railroad building through Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. His personality was of the strangest, bordering almost upon in- sanity, yet behind all his peculiarities there was good business judgment. Six years ago Blackwell came to this town looking more like a tramp than the railroad magnate which he claimed to be. It was his purpose, he said, to build a rail- railroad southwest from here into the Indian Territory. When he arrived here he wished to buy 300 cots for the use of the graders and men which he intended putting at work on the new line. A representative of the local paper interviewed him at the time, and while it agreed with him that such a road would be an advantage to this cliy, the paper thought he was a little too precipi- tous. His scheme at that time was not carried out because of the lack of capital, but now the road which Col. Blackwell planned is more than half completed. At the time of the opening of the Chero- kee wets in 1893. the Colonel laid out the town which bears his name, and soon had a church, hotel, and several other public buildings built there. About two years later he had a misunderstanding with the town authorities and left Blackwell, going into the Indian Territory, where he laid out the town of David, Here he met with misfor- tune and was arrested for some alleged violation of the Federal laws. He experi- enced considerable difficulty in getting out of jail, but was finally liberated on the rounds of insanity, and the case against Fim dismissed. Several months ago Col. Blackwell re- turned to Blackwell and immediately in- myer new life into the town. It was large- y through his efforts that the Hutchinson & Southern Railroad was induced to build into that town, and at the time of his death he had on foot a scheme for the building of a local road from Blackwell to Kildare, a distance of 14 miles, to take the place of the stage line, the ony means now of transportation between the two towns, About 10 years ago he was married to his second wife, the half-breed Osage Indian. She and the two sone born to them, Solo. mon and David, survive. At the time of his death he was 63 years of age. Biackwell, at the time of his death, wag reputed to worth several hundred thou. sand dollars, all of which he has made in the last six years, since his second start in business. He was known all over Kansas as “Prophet’’ Blackwell on account of his claiming to be able to foretell events. MAY NOT GET THE MONEY. Assistant Attorney-General’s Claim for a Fee Startles Texas. Special to the Post-Dispatch. AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 21.—A special dis- patch printed in the morning papers this morning announcing that the County Com- missioners of Bexar County, at San An- tonio, had appropriated $38% to pay Judge E. H. Hill for services In securing the ap- proval of the Attorney-General of $389,600 refunding Bexar County bonds, caused @ commotion here in official Judge Hill was office assistant in the At- torney-General’s office under Mr. Crane, and held over a day or two under the new Attorney-General, Tom Smith, who took his office last week. Judge Hill, as ass'‘st- ant, retained his position until Thursday, and on that day. acting as Assistant At- torney-General, he approved the Bexar County bonds, for which he received the fee referred to. The dispatch this morn- ing called attention to the facts, and At- torney-General Smith promptly revoked the approval and recalled the bonds from the Registrar's office. The incident is causing much comment. McNamara Removed to 110 South Sixth street, No Election in Nebraska.

Sed Mf HON. JOSIAH B. Hon. Josiah B. Allen, Clerk of the 8u- preme Court of Ohio, was a captain in the army of the rebellion, where he lost an arm: Clerk of Common Pleas Court of Athens County two terms; Sergeant-at- Arms of the House of Representatives; and is now serving. second term as Clerk of the Supreme Court of Ohio. COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 16, 1897. The Pe-ru-na Drug M’fg. Co.: Gentlemen—I have been afflicted with a disease, commonly known as la grippe, every winter since that disease was dis- covered. I have tried many remedies without success.. This spring I was in- duced to try a bottle of Pe-ru-na. I have now taken two bottles and have re- ceived much benefit therefrom. In fact, all symptoms of the disease seem to have left me. Therefore, I cheerfully recommend the virtues of Pe-ru-ne. Yours truly, JOSIAH B. ALLEN. La grippe has been justly called “The Scourge of the Closing Years of the Nineteenth Century.”’ This disease runs a course of very uncertain duration and severity. It leaves the system in a de- plorable condition. It weakens the nerve centers. it impoverishes the blood, dis- turbs the circulation, clogs up the excre- tory ducts, and depresses the whole vital system, There are thousands upon thous- ands of people in this condition as the re- sult of la grippe. Pe-ru-na cures :a grippe. As to the after-effects of la grippe, so with the acute stages, Pe-ru-na is a spe- cific. It seems to be thoroughly adapted to this disease in all its phases. A great many letters are received by Dr. Hart- man every year in which Pe-ru-na is ex- tolled by the people as being a prompt and reliable eure for la grippe. ta grippe is in reality & catarrhel disease. It would be properly named acute epi- demic catarrh. A few specimens of the letters received by Dr. Hartman op this subject will be given: vit iit Wi Sa 48 wt) The Sisters of st. Francis of St. Vincent's Orphan Asy- lum, East Main street, corner of Rose Av., Col- umbus, Ohio, in a letter dated June 2, 1898 to Dr. 8. B. Hert- man say: “Some years ago a ‘ friend of our in- Kise. 3 stitution recem- mended to us Dr. Hartman’s Pe-ru-na as an excellent remedy for grip, of which we then had several cases which threatened to be of a serious cheracter. We began to use it and experienced such wonderful re- suits that since then Pe-ru-na has become our favorite medicine for influenza, c- tarrh, coughs, colds and bronchitis.” Mr. Sanford Rob- inson, Adrian, Mich., writes: “I was taken very sick with la grippe last winter. [I could sit up only «4 few moments every day. I could eat nothing. I got a bottle of Pe-ru-na and began to take it. The im provement was prompt. In ten days I was able to be out of doors. It only required one bottle of Pe-ru-na te cure me. I think a great deal of your medicines and recommend them to the people, who all speak well of them. I am 7 years oid.” Mre. J. B. Allen, Pe- toskey, Mich., writes; “Both my husband and myself were seriously iii with la grippe. Fi nally I took to my bed, but my husband woald not give up. One day I saw an advertisement of Pe-ru-ne in @ peper and asked him to get me «@ ® bottle. He had no faith in it, but got the medi- Mr.J.B. Allen. cine.

We tried Pe-ru-na and his hemorrhages stoppe’l, and he soon got up and is well and is hard at work. He has hed no more hemorrhages.”—Mrs. C. R. Harden, Evansville, Wis. Mr. Trylof, Mt. Clemens, Mich. writes: “I will let you know what f think of Two years ago I Aug. medicine nteen a Mr. Aug. Tryloff. took Pe-ru-na, but ft did me no good. I then took Pe- ru-na—about five or six bottles. It did me more good than all the rest put tee gether.”’ Mrs. Anna Har- mening, Mazo Manie, Dane county, Wis., writes: “I can- not praise your rem- edy too highly. Last winter I had la grippe, and hemor- rhage of the lungs followed. All ® the doctors around here tcld me I had to die | of consumption. Mrs. Anna Har Then I thought Il mening. would ask Dr. Hartman's advice, Ww I did. He prescribed Pe-ru-na for me I took it according to his directions and was cured in a short time. I advise every~- body that Is troubled with lung disease te take Dr. Hartman’s treatment. I am sure they will not regret it if they do. I am now enjoying good health and can thank Pe-ru-na for it.” “Last winter, both myself and mother were severely attacked with la grippe, and by using Pe-ru-na we recovered without having a physician. I think Pe-ru-na is just the thing for suffering humanity. I highly recommend your remedy to all suf- ferers."’"—Master Ross, Oshtemo, Mich, Mrs. Eliza Guest, Kearney, Buffalo county, Neb., eaye! “I took your Pe-ru- na for some time for oatarrh and am hap- py to state that I am entirely cured of it. I took both Pe-ru-fa and Man-a-lin. I am still taking Pe-ru-na for la grippe and find that it helps me greatly. I ee in- fluenced several others afflicted with chron- ic catarrh to take Pe-ru-na in this locality and they are improving.” Mrs. T. V. Rogers, Flushing, Mich., @ years of age, was three years ago taken with pneumonia, and while recovering #he caught la grippe. She had two relapses and was given up by two physicians, A friend persueded her to try Pe-ru-na, after taking three bottles, she was able do ber own work. She is completely “I took your Pe-ru-na for deafness and consider my- self entirely cured. I can hear now as well as 1 ever could, end hall always feel very thankful to you for your kindly advice. My fa- ther wae greatly benefited in a severe attack of la grippe by the use of Pe-ru- na.’'—Miss Esther Luther, Franklineviliq, Bape.

REWARDS OF POLITICS. Gov. “‘Bob” Taylor in retiring from the office of Governor of Tennessee embodies his experience of politics in the following remarks: “While I believe that the good in politics outweighs the bad, vet how thorny is the path, and how unhappy the.pil- grimage to him who dares to do his duty! There are no flowers, except a few bouquets snatched from the graves of fallen foes: there is no happiness except the transient thrill of cruel triumph which passes like a meteor across the heart. To me there is nothing in this world so pathetic as acandidate. He is like a mariner without a compass, drifting on the tempest- tossed waves of uncertainty, between the smiling cliffs of hope and the frowning crags of fear. He is a walking petition and a living prayer; he is the hack horse of public sentiment; he is the dromedary cf politics. And even tf he reaches the goal of his ambition he will soon feel the beak of the vulture in his heart and the fang of the serpent in his soul.” To the majority of men in } olitics this is true. Ambitious men about to enter the poljtical field should give Gov. Taylor’s words due consideration and be prepared for all possibilities. But the view expressed, while common among men who have spent their lives in politics, tells only half of the truth. Men who go into politics for the so-called honors and emoluments, or who lay great store by them must find bitter disappoint- ments. Honest men who depend upon politics for a living SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JANUARY 22, 1899 fine names invented to conceal] the plundering of honest men and the murdering of peaceful men under the phrases of mobilization and war?” To Tolstoi, the Czar is a plunderer and a murderer. Yet he permitted himself to be kissed publicly by this representa- tive of all that he has for years anathematized and held up to public condemnation. At the end of the century, the lion and the lamb have lain down together. And the lion is on his way to put a stop to the slaughter of lambs. But why, in the meantime, does the lion continue to whet his fangs? Two Modern Martvrs.—Robert Jefferies, Englishman of leisure; Ed Jeffers, wealthy land-owner, and E. Webb, boot and shoe man, are in jail at Hopkins, Mo., because they have not paid their dog tax. They occupy one bed and their méals are sent to them from a restaurant. . It costs the other taxpayers $10 to $15 a week to keep them, but they declare they wil! deeay before they will pay the tax due from them. What is the heroism of the imprisoned Judges of Clay County com- pared with the article these dog-tax martyrs are displaying? The Missouri version of the Davy Crockett motto ig “Be sure you're right, then stay in jail.”’ THE BUSINESS VIEW. “Expansion is a magnificent game,” said Senator Caffrey in his Post-Dispatch interview, “but is it worth the gate money ?” This is one view of the question which should be taken into consideration with other arguments. One of the advantages continually urged by imperialists is that of trade expansion and profit. We are told that trade follows the flag and that it is necessary to acquire new territory in order to get new trade and to back commercial enterprise with conquering arms, Senator Caffrey contributes valuable material to the answer of the question he asks. Footing up the items of cost of an imperial government in the Philippines he finds that they ag- gregate a total expenditure of $221,350,000. Probably the greater part of $60,000,00u of revenue now collected on imports of sugar and tobacco will be lost. * Spain was always a good revenue squeezer, but she was never able to squeeze more than $13,000,000 out of the Philip- pines. The total foreign trade of the islands does not ex- ceed $30,000,000, so that if we got all of it the balance against us would be not less than $200,000,000 a year. Capitalizing $200,000,000 at 3 per cent the expenditure would represent the interest on a debt of $6,700,000,000, which is three times as large as the civil war debt. We are pledged to the “open door’ in the Philippines and to the admission of Spain to the commerce of the islands on an equality with ourselves for ten years. So that if the theory that trade follows the flag and must be supported by conquest were not thoroughly riddled by experience we would have no assurance of a monopoly of Philippine trade. To the ethical and political objections to annexation of the Philippines must be added the business objection that it is a losing deal. It does not require much business acumen to see the absurdity of an enterprise which will result in an annual loss of $200,000,000. ‘ ree E. W. Harden, as Secrétary of the Philippine Commission, may make himself useful, but he will not have the opportunity to startle the world by another great news beat as he did when the Post-Dispatch and New York World got his exclusive dispatch about the naval battle at Manila. = = * THE PORTO RICAN PcTITION. The petition of the Porto Ricans presented to the President indicates a good understanding of American ideas and a desire to become possessed, at the earliest practicable moment, of all the rights and privileges of American citizens. Thev ask the appointment of a territorial governor and the institution of an elective legislature, the abolition of the pres- ent oppressive f&panish laws and the establishment of the Constitution of the United States or that part of it known as the bill of rights, the reduction of the army and employ- mentof native militia, an extensive public school system to in- clude schools of law, medicme and agriculture, and absolute free trade between the island and the United States. In other words they ask a territorial government essentially the same as that which prevails on the continent. There is nothing unreasonable in this. On thecontrary it is a hopeful sign of political understanding. The Porto Ricans should be given self-government without any unnecessary de- lay, for the sooner they begin to learn the responsibilities of freedom by aciual] practice the better it will be. >> i In arguments for the perpetuation of the gallows, it must be taken into account that there are many criminals who, like other men, will risk their lives in doing whatever they may desire todo. The exact value of the gallows as a deter- rent is not easy to determine. There was proportionately as much stealing in London when men were hanged for theft as there is now. Perhaps there was so much hanging then that people got used to it, just as they became accustomed to the guillotine of the French Revolution. . ah 1. oe = “Don’t antagonize Speaker Reed; he will crush you,” is a Post-Dispatch telegram’s advice to new Congressmen. There must be very little sense of justice in the Czar if he is so much of acrusher. The Speaker who does not show himself to be fair toward those who oppose him is scarcely fit for his live in hell. There comes a day of defeat when they are cast “great office. aside as battered hulks. But to men who rightly value the so-called rewards of poli- tics and who take office to do their duty and serve the public there is substantial reward which no ingratitude or defeat can take away. They have the satisfaction of doing honest service. The best reward a man can get in any line of en- deavor is the juy of his work and his own satisfaction. All else is the sport of circumstances. = = = li a Empress An’s Pitiful Strugegle.—The particular Josh wor- shiped by the Chinese Empress An and her followers is the God of Things es They Are in China. But the God of Things as They Are in Europe and America will prevail over Em- press An’s Josh. The high priests of the conquering Josh are the editors of foreign newspapers, which the great Em- press cannot suppress. = = “= i i EMBALMING LIVE SOLDIERS The danger of being embalmed alive is not altogether an im- G@ginary one to soldiers fed upon ‘embalmed beef.’’ The power of salicylic acid to preserve flesh and vegetable tissue consists in the freedom from chemical change it possesses, while per- meating the tissues and displacing more easily decomposed substances. Hence, not being acted upon by the animal or vegetable Salts, the salicylic acid or other similar aseptic would naturally accumulate in the system as the preserved food was eaten from day to day. This accumulation of a powerful chemical would certainly result in chronic dyspepsia, and ultimately would: probably @ degree as to induce a vrocess in the living body similar to |S aceree the resisting fluids and tissues of the body to such % ee Nat ee mbalming. It is a well-hnown fact that these chemical preservatives Gestroy the flavor of food. This again would hasten the ‘march of dyspepsia and its graver results. Dr. Daly's testimony that salicylic and boracic acids were actually used to preserve army beef seems to be the most im- portant yet given. If his analysis is found to be correct, it should’place the authorities on their guard against future at- tempts to embalm our soldiers alive. There may come a Franco-German-Russian dreibund for “War purposes, but not this season. hihi hie ~~ ww SS THE KISSING OF TOLSTOL {t must be presumed that when the Czar kissed Tolstol on the mouth and cheeks the great apostle of non-resistance allowed the act as an exemplification of his btwn doctrine that evil must not be resisted. For, in the nature of things, what worse thing could happen 't> a man who tries to be the very embodiment of the idea ef Peace than to be kissed by a man who is the chief of ‘one of the world’s mightiest armies and who is at the moment engaged in buying monster guns and increasing the strength of that army?

In Hawaii, where the language is as soft and smooth and flowing As the sound of waters gurgling or of boets by moonlight rowing, They have syllables far eweeter Than a poet’s softest meter, And they are delightfully expressive to the knowing. Would you bid a friend good morning? Would you ask him “How d’ y’ do?” Would you say “My friend,” “Companion,” or “Old fellow” or ‘“‘Halloo?” All you have to do is murmur, In a softer tone or firmer, As the case may be, “Aloha,” and he’ll see your meaning through. Hast a girl in Honolulu? O’er ea trellis fondly leaning, Would you tell her that you love her, with mo parent intervening? Whether of her tongue you know a Thing or not, just say “Aloha!” And her native education will interpretate your meaning. Would you call her “Sweetheart,” “Baby,” for the precious love she bore you? Would'you say “Farewell” or ‘Dearie’ or ““My sweetness, I adore you?” Sey “Aloha’—just ‘Aloha’’— And if I may claim to know a Thing or three, you'll find that others— many—have been there before you!

No matter what a man may say about himself, Concerning his ambitions and his labors, It’s always well enough, in sizing of him up, To wait until you’ve heard from all the neighbors. - An Illinois Congressman has discovered that Commodore Perry was not a Commo- dore at all, but only a Captain. But what of that? Dewey was not an Admiral until after the battle of Manila. AS USUAL Said Smith to Jenkins: ‘“‘Why sg0 sad?

Erroneous ideas prevail with the public in reference to the conditions which exist at Quarantine. As no one is permitted upon the reserve except patients and the at- tendants, any account of same must come from those who have been confined at the institution. I was an inmate recently for a period of 40 days, I feel fully capable as well as at liberty to give my experience. I left my home, which is as comfortable in every respect as the great majority of homes in this city, with great reluctancé, notwithstanding the assurances of Dr. Jor- dan that I would encounter nothing ob- jectionable at Quarantine. Aside from the journey to Quarantine, which has to be made in an ambulance, which the city might better by putting a car at the service of the health authorities, I found nothing at Quarantine that was not commendable—a kind physician of ex- ceptionable ability in charge of and master of the entire premises, good, kind nurses, both night and day, the sick wards al] new and clean and properly furnished, the food healthful and well prepared and the attendance in every other department per- fect. It ts an tdeal place for the treatment of that disease which the laws of this city command shall be isolated. Let me a to those that may be afflicted as my family were, to allow no feeling of repugnance to Quarantine to prevail witn them, that no such attendance and care can be had in ordinary homes except at great personal sacrifices as can be had Quarantine. 4 St. Louis. Committee’s Report on Chicago Canal. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Are the newspapers going to quietly ac- cept the report of the committee, the mem- the promoters of the Chicago canal, in which the impurities from Chicago sewage would all have settled long before the wa- ter reached St. Louis, etc., and that more filth would have come from the Missouri River than from the canal? If distance and sandy bottom counts for anything, the water from the Missouri should be quite ure. The said committee is of the opin- on that quite a purifying process would take place bétween where the water from the canal entered the Mississippi River and the Chain of Rocks. And yet they claim more pollution from the Missourl River than from the canal. HENRY P. JONES. St. uls. More Policemen Needed. From the La Grange (Mo.) Indicator.

Brunswicker. The delegates to the Louisiana Purchase Convention .adopted resolutions declaring in favor of St. Louis as the location for the World’s Fair in 193. The people of that city have been given a great task to perform and they should unite as one man to make it equal to if not surpass the World’s. Fair of Chicago. The various States in the purchase territory should make a lfberal appropriation for a State exhibit and the Missouri Legislature should lead the way by making an appropriation double that made for the Chicago Fair. Let there be no niggardly spirit shown in this matter, as every dollar expended will be returned with interest in the increase in value of real estate and money brought into the State by visitors.

Sterrett, who so successfully managed Missouri’s exhibit at the Omaha Exposition that more awards were procured by our State Commission than were by IIli- no's, Iowa and Kansas combined, be put very prominently to the front. That he will aid in bringing credit and glory to this great enterprise will be readily conceded by all acquainted with Col.’ Sterrett’s patriot- ism, executive ability and energy. The Money and the Brains. From the Paris (Mo.) Appeal. St. Louis is arranging to have a bigger and better exposition in 1903 than Chicago's great World’s Fair was. And she will have it, too, as St. Louis has the money and the brains to carry out any project she undertakes. Of course, queryeody from this part of the State will take in that great exposition. The Biggest Thing. From the Paris (Mo.) Mercury. St. Louis is going to make the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1903 the biggest af- eed of the kind ever held in the United tates. St. Louis Has Never Robbed. From the Knob Knoster (Mo.) Gem. St. Louis w'll be the World’s Fair City henceforth. The ce’ebration of the acquis. ition of the Louisiana territory in 1208 will be duly celebrated in St. Louis in 1903. and steps are already being taken to make it an affair that will ecl:pse all former efforts in this country. It was said at the close of the World’s Fair in Chicago, that no per- son who visited it would ever see the like again. But St. Louie will eclipse it oniy 10 vears afterward. There ‘s no city so weil qualified as St. Louis to prepare for and entertain the people. They have been doing this for half a century and they have never disappointed their guests nor robbed them by extortion. We are glad St. Louis was chosen as the place for the centennial] celebration of Jefferson’s purchaee. When St. Louis Takes Hold. From the Glasgow Missourian. St. Louls people are working hard to per- fect plans for the great Wor'd’s Fair to be held there in 1908, in commemoration of the Louisiana Purchase. When St. Louis takes hold of a project of this character its suc- cess is a foregone conclusion. A Guaranty of Success. From the Osceola (Mo.) Democrat. St. Louis has begun preparation for a. World’s Fair in 1903, ‘n celebr Louisiana Purchase. For eatin noe ee terprise St. Louis is without a peer and the selection of that city as the place for hold- ing the proposed fair is a guaranty that the scheme wiil be pushed to a successful ter- mination. The Legislature’s Duty. From the Gallatin (Mo.) Democrat, We hope that the Legislature whic makes the appropriation for the AB of the World's Fair at St. Louis will deal liberally with that enterprise. Such an op- portunity to advertise this great State has never before been given us, and it should be improved to the limit. We want to see an exhibit made at St. . Missourian can be a of which every Pun for the Ladies. From the Southeast Missourian. St. Louls will have a W , sour! always did have he ale Fi fae (This is intended for the Mis- world’s fairest. eye of ladies only.) Keeping Up With Development. From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald.

However, it rogues an exposition every year to show o what the country can doin the way of development A Grand Success. From the Mexico (Mo.) Leader. The fair will be a grand success. 7 > Arise, O Christ, arise!

MUCH PATCHE AND CHANGED The Nicaraguan Canal Bill Has Passed. ———— SENATE VOTE WAS 48 TO 6. ee IT HAD BEEN RAILROADED WITH- OUT ROLL CALL. On Demand of Senator Vest the Meas- ure Was Reconsidered and Final- ly Went Through With 6 Nays Against It. Special te the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—The Morgan maritime cana] bill, amended until it bears slight resemblance to its former self, and patched up in euch a way as to be sat- isfactory to the administration, passed the Senate this afternoon by a vote of 48 to 6 after a protracted and bitter struggle. Senator Frye of Maine, who was in the chair, laid the bill before the Senate, and it passed without a dissenting vote, Sen- ators Caffery, Vest, Cockrell, Pettigrew, Mantle and one or two other prominent opponents were out of the chamber at the time and were dumfounded when they re- turned to find that the bill had passed without a roll call. Senator Vest was angry, and rising in his Place, he demanded a reconsideration of the vote by which the bill was passed. He said the action of the Senate, on a matter of such magnitude, was unprecedented. Senator Morgan, knowing that he had suffi- clent votes, agreed to the reconsideration, and the bill was passed by the vote as given above. Although Senator Morgan and the friends of his amended bill will endeavor to secure immediate action in the House, the out- look for its passage is not promising. Since 1893 this bill, in one shape or an- other, has been before the Senate. In its original form, it provided for the purchase of the stock of the defunct Maritime Canal Co. It also provided that the canal should be the property of the United States Gov- ernment for a period of 99 years, at the ex- iration of which time it should revert to icaragua. This was the principal objec- taion to the bill raised by the Administra- tion and by many Democrats. An amend- ment giving perpetual ownership was adopted. Another amendment, which is regarded as the most important addition to the bill, provides, “that if the President shal) be unable to secure from Nicar a and Costa Rica such concessions as will enable the United States to build and perpetually own and contro! said canal, the President is authorized to negotiate for a control of or a right to construct, maintain and per- etually control some other canal connect- ng the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans,” and “that no payments shall be made under the provisions of this act to or for the benefit of the stockholders of the Maritime Canal Company or for any of its property unless the President shall decide to construct a canal under the concessions granted to said company.” ‘s is the Administration amendment, as offered by Senator Spooner. Senator T'llman of South Carolint was reluctant to ermit a vote, believing that the bill, even n its amended form, is far from satis- factory. He consented to a vote on the condition that he should have printed, as a part of his remarks, every Dill amendment and substitute relating to an isthmian canal, presented since 1893. The Senate agreed to this request and the bill was put on its passage. Following is an analysis of the measure as it passed: The bill continues the name of the mar'- time canal company. It provides for the Ifs- suance of 1,000,000 shares of stock of $100 each. The canal company is required to call in all the stock issued except that held by the Nicaragua and Costa Rican Govern- ments. The compare is aleo required to re- deem and cancel bonds and script hereto- fore issued by the company and to sat'sfy all cash Habilities. To enable the company to comply with these requirements treas- urv warrants to the amount of $8,090,000 are authorized, with a proviso to the effect that only so much of the amount shall be paid as sha)l be required to pay the actual cash value of the right, privileges, franch‘ses and property at the time of the payment, ers 6% done the Secreta thorized to subscri stock for the Government. rectors are then to em and a bo eeven is to be appointed in sisting of five on behalf of the United gua and Costa Rico.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Jan. 21.—From Van Buren, Crewford County, Ark., comes «a strangely romantic tale dating back to slavery days. It is the story of two sisters who were torn in bondage and who saw each other for the first time a few days ago. One is 70 years old, while the other is about ten years younger. The principals in this remarkable ro- mance, separated by crue] barter, are Anna White and Drucilla Barrett. Seventy years ago Anna White was born near Pa- ducah, Ky., on the plantation of Col. J. H. Thompson, who counted his slaves by the hundreds. Col. Thompson became Involved financially, and among others of hie cred- itors was Col. A. 8. Smith, who had left Kentucky and settled in what is now Jas- per County, Mo, Col. Smith appeared at the Thompson plantation one day and de- manded his money. Col. Thompson was unable to meet the demand in cash. “But, by Gad, sah, I’ve as likely niggahs as you can find anywah, sah, and I can pay you that way if you will accept.” Col. Smith accepted and agreed to cancel the obligation if allowed to take his choice of the women slaves. Piqued at his inabil- ity to meet the obligation with cash, Col, Thompson consented to this proposition, Col. Smith gelected the mother of Anna White, then known by the family name of Thompson, Anna was then ¥ years oid, The oiacK Motner being bartered into new bondage, begged piteously to be aiiowed to take uer Chi, Dut that was not a part of the deal between the two coionueis, so Wilh- out ceremony or display Of seuliment, Col.

The onan are restricted to $20,000,000 annually. The canal is to be large enough “for the use of the largest sea-going vessels at a cost not to exceed the estimate of the eng'- neers and not to exceed $115,000.00." Thisa amount is made a permanent appropriation for the work, to used as occasion may require. The bill gives the Government a fen upon the property to secure the repay- ment of the moneys advanced, and the President is empowered to_declare for- feiture of the property to the United States without the necessity of judicial or ascertainment. resident is authorized to suspend payments at any time. The Pres- ident is ates authorized to secure any change in or modification of the terms of the concession either from the concess-on- aries or from Nicaragua and Coeta Rico. In case of failure in such negotiation the President is also empowered to negotiate for another route across the isthmus. He je further requested to open negotiations for the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty or any other treaty found to be in existence and standing 1% the way of the cons ction of the canal. The neutrality of the carral Is aranteed, | but the right to protect it against the in- terruptions of business between the Atlan- tic and Pacific Coasts of the United States is te ved. "The r yotes against the bill were cast by Senators Bate, Caffery, Cockrell, Man- tle, Martin and Smith. SMALL WORK IN THE SENATE. Bridge Across White River Ope of the Things Authorized.

DALLAS, Tex., Jan. 21.—Joseph Hancock, 88 years old, a native of New Hampshire, but who moved from Pekin, IIll., to Texas in 1842, arrived in Dallas to-day on a visit, after an absence of more than half a cen- tury. Fifty-«even years ago Mr. Hancock located on 640 acres of public land of the Republic of Texas. His old claim is now included in the site of the city of Dallas. Nearly every foot of the ground is built over in paved streets, railroad tracks and buildings, big business blocks and public parks, the property being worth more than $50,000,000. Mr. Hancock tired of his farm after two years’ occupancy and moved to the Red River Valley, about 100 miles north of Dallas. Five years later the gold fever took him to California, where the followed mining until a few years ago, whe® he moved to Montana, his present heme.

All these are dead, Moore and M&@as having died near where Hancock lived in California. Thie pioneer of Dallas is now very poor. He says that for years he has heard of the wonderful growth and importance of Dallas, and had such a desire to see the city which has been built on h's old aban- doned farm, where he fought Indjans and that he determined to come and look upon it in his old days before it would be too late. ‘Had I remained here, destiny would have made mea millionaire, but my fore- sight wae not good,” said the vid man this evening, ‘n @ tone of regret.

LONDON GOSSIPS’ LATEST ITEM. GRANDMOTHER MAY SUCCEED IN FORBIDDING THE BANNS. Incidents in Which Titled Ones of Queen Victoria’s Realm Play Parts, Which Show They Are Much Like Plain People. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Jan. 21.—The Duke of Man- chester is engaged to marry a comic opera queen, so it is currently reported. The gossips are enjoying the morsel and cite in proof of it the alleged fact that he was not among his grandmother's guests at the now famous“ball at Chatsworth last week. It is said that last week the grandmother stepped in just in the nick of time to pre- vent him from marrying the woman. There was great consternation at the possibility of such a match, but a remark- able thing is how easily the Duke takes these repeated obstacles to the smooth course of his true love. He has a decided talent for acting and will almost certainly end by going on the stage. His mother, the Duchess of Manchester, is at Saint Moritz with her delicate daugh- ter, Lady Alice Mantagu, whose health is mending slowly, though she is never likely to be robust. The Duke's absence is not the only juicy bit of gossip that found birth in the Dev- onshire ball. Another incident is the sin- gular circumstaance that Sir George Sit- well, baronet, on whom fell the honor of opening the ball with the Duchess of Dev- onshire, appeared two days later in the Bloomsbury County Court to defend a suit of his bootmaker for the payment of a bill amounting to $100 for his wife’s footwear. Lady Ida Sitwell, who was a daughter of the Earl of Loudesborough, was origin- ally proceeded against, but the plaintiff found that she had assigned her income to Sir George in consideration of his paying her debts, amounting to 2700 pounds, The judge said that this arrangement looked like an attempt to evade payment on the part of this titled pair and the suit was not finished. This repudiation of a wife's debts appears to be becoming quite fash- ionable, as only recently Mr. Hwfa Wil- liams set up similar pleas against a claim for 400 pounds for his wife’s millinery bills. ‘Mrs. Hwfa Williams is one of the ac- knowledge leaders in the smart society. She felt this publicity so keenly that she left London, The Duchess of Mariborough, who had the first dance at the Devonshire ball with Lord Rosebery, was much admired, She wore white tulle, elaborately pailletted in pave pink and blue flowers ceinture and a ow of pink velvet with a crown of dia- monds. She also wore a superb collar with diamond clasps and a chain of the same costly gems. @ Dowager Duchess of Sutherland {s obliged to abandon all hope of recovering the bulk of hes jewelry stolen a couple of months back at the Gare du Nord in Paris. The thief, Harry the valet, very cleverly outwitted the authorities in connection with his sentence. When they refused to make terms should he confess he risked a trial and was indicted for larceny, the maximtim penalty of which is seven years; a most lenient course. The valet instant- ly pleaded guilty, but refused to give any clue to the whereabouts of the jewels. By good conduct he can get out in less than five years, when he will have his swag to live on comfortably. Sir Tatton Sykes before leaving for New York en route to Mexico, accompanied by his nephe@y, Reginald Cholmondeley, ar- ranged all differences with Lady Sykes. He settled a handsome tncome of $25,000 a year on her for Hfe and made her a pres- ent of the late (Christopher Sykes house in (hesterfield street, Mayfair, as well ae all the furniture ehe desired from their former town house. He also arranged the liquida- tion of all her debts. No doubt is enter- tained that they will ultimately be_ re- united, About this time last vear M‘ss Chetwynd, daughter of Sir George Chetwynd, a noted _ @porting man, made a most brilliant match, marrying the Earl of Uxbridge, heir of the wealthy Marquis of Anglesey, who has since died. After passing six months to- gether, during which time the young Mar- quis displayed an eccentric love for jeweiryv and disp'ay of all kinds, the couple separ- ated, and the Marquis is now on a visit to America. Their separation, which was due purely to the freak on the part of the Mar- quis, has not been legally arranged. The Marquis allows the wife $15,000 a year and $7500 to pay debts contracted when thev were together. Next year if thev are still separated she is to be allowed $20.00 and the year following,.$% 000, and so on rising $5000 every vear until the allowance has reached $50,000. At present Lady An- glesey and her sister, Miss Chetwynd, are living quietly in a pension in Paris, and it is rumored she expects an hetr. LIPTON HAS HIS DANDER UP.

LABOR PARTY TO THE FRONT. é Parnellites in Dublin Now Appear to Be as Hopelessly Split as the Dillonites. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Jan. 21.—The first elections in Irish cities and towns under the new local government act have been the absorbing domestic political event of the week. The elections in Irish counties will result in a vastly more revolutionary change, ag the new elective bodies will replace the nom- inated grand juries. They have been de- ferred until March. The salient feature of the municipal elections is that from four to six times more votes were registered than heretofore. The labor party holds the balance of power between the Parnellites and the Dillonites, and labor representa- tives declare they are for labor interests first, politics afterwars. In Dublin Corporation, where the elec- ote increased from 8000 to 38,000 voters, necluding for the first time 6500 women, the labor members increased from three to 12, while John Redmond’s party, who held 44 reduced to 2, the Dillonits having increased from about six to 18. Parnellites in Dublin are now as hope- lessly split as the Dillonites. In the Cork Corporation the Parnellites have been re- duced from % to 19, and the Dillonites in- creased from 14 to 18. Labor has nine rep- resentatives, several of them Aldermen, be- ing returned at the top of the poll. The result in Limerick is the most 6tartling of all, for there John Daly, who served 14 years for alleged dynamiting, has won 2&4 out of 40 seats and can be elected Mayor if he chooses, . The Unionists, who have fared badly everywhere in these elections, are blaming their leaders for passing such an act, and there is already a decided tendency on their part to throw up the game of Union- ism and cast themselves in a lot with the rest of their fellow countrymen. The election for Mayor in Dublin, Cork and Limerick takes place on Monday. William Redmond, M. _ is mentioned for the Lord ‘Mayoralty of Dublin, and as he is personally highly esteemed every- where, he would be an excellent choice, but there is a proposal to offer the honor to Lord Iveagh purely on public grounds in recognition of his benefaction to the city. In Limerick the proposal {s made to make a Mayor of the local landlord and peer, Lord Emly, as he has renounced Unionism and become a Home Ruler. It is.probable the Lord Mayoralty of Belfast will be of- fered the Marquis of Dufferin. FYTON WAS VERY POPULAR. Clergyman’s Offense So Grave That He Has Been Compelled to Seek Safety in Flight. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Jan. 21.—The sudden dlsap- pearance of Canon Eyton, a Protestant clergyman of the highest standing, who was vicar of St. (Margaret’s in Westmin- ster, the official worshiping place of the House of Parliament, in which he suc- ceeded Archdeacon Farrar, has created a profound and painful sensation in clerical and social circles. Canon Eyton is 88 years old and was one of the most prominent dignitaries of the established church. He was a famous preacher and was certain to be the recipient of a bishopric. He is charged ‘with a revolting offense. In such cases, where evidence of guilt is positive, as it is alleged to be in this case, an opportunity of fleeing the country to obviate a public scandal. The first known of Canon Eyton’s alleged misconduct was the receipt by the Dean of Westminster of a notification from the Home Office that information had been given to the 36 hours. Eyton; I am informed, took the next train for the Continent, The Dean and Chapter furnished the pi#ess with an intimation of his resignation. , His clerical friends un- officially said that a mental breakdown was the cause, but the Dean and colleagues have refused to make any statement or ex- planation, THE POPE: IS MUCH BETTER, Many Startling Reports Have Been Placed in Circulation at Rome. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. ROME, Jan. 21.—‘*‘There is nothing alarm- ing in the condition of the Pope.”’ Dr. Lap- poni, the Pope’s physician, made that state- ment to the Post-Dispatch correspondent to-night. “‘He is suffering from a slight, cold, and in order to preclude the chance of his getting a bad chill he has remained in his room for the past two days under my orders. He is getting better, but it has not yet been determined whether he can receive the Crown Princess of Norway in private audience to-morrow, as had been arranged. The Poet-Dispatch correspondent mada this inquiry owing to the prevalence of alarming rumors amounting even to a re- port of the Pope’s death, which is heard on all sides in Rome to-day. These reports still cont.nue, though they are denied at the Vatican. Further there are none of the signs of activity there that would follow euch an event, even if Kept secret PIPE TRUST TAKING SHAPE. ooo All Factories to Be Controlled by a §$yndicate. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. &.—The tend- ency of local stockholders in the American Pipe and Foundry Co. is to confirm the re- port that Samuel Thomas of New York is at the head of a syndicate, which has se- cured control of the majority of the etock of that company with a view to cementing & syndicate controlling virtually all the cast iron pipe factories in the United States. John W. Harrison of St. Louis is said to have disposed of his stock to Mr. Thomas and to have arranged for the transfer of enough stock to give Thomas control. This company dictates the situation be- cause it owns antl operates the Southern pipe factories at Bessemer, Anniston and Sridgeport, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn., and their plants are conceded to have the inside track on the export fleld, which of- fers a particularly inviting prospect. F, B.

Meantime the Move Toward Complete Control of North Africa Goes On and France Can Do Wothing but Complain. LONDON, Jan. 21.—Great Britain seems to shake to its foundations whenever Mr. Cecil Rhodes steps foot on thé island. He is the biggest man in the Kingdom to-day. Peers, Cabinet Ministers, promoters with Munchausen scenes, Duchesses craving for tips on ‘“‘Kaffirs’’ or South African securi- ties, workmen who cherish dreams of emli- out of @ seats in the old council, has been | gration and bishops, solicitous for African ' souls haunt his hotel and beg for even the briefest interviews, as though he had already realized his aspiration. The popu- lar mind credits him with being the poten- tate of the African continent. The Cabinet me yesterday, specially to discuss Mr. Rhodes’ scheme for government guarantees of the “Cape to Cairo” railroad and telegraph. Mr. Rhodes afterward con- ferred with Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Rhodes says that 10,000,000 pounds sterling will cover. the entire cost. of the work and there is little doubt that he will carry his point with the government and raise all the money he needs in the city. Before the projectors can act in the matter there will be a form- ality in the shape of a Parliamentary bill, but the imperialists may be backed to drive at the so-called ‘“‘Little Englanders’’ who are preparing an opposition to the scheme, declaring that the Rhodesian empire is making for a gigantic fiasco and that Mr. Rhodes wants the government to lift him out of a hole by throwing good money after bad into a railroad through a wilder- ness. They also find a coincidence in Mr. Rhodes’ homecoming and the revival of newspaper outbursts against the Boers op- = eta of British subjects in the Trans- vaal. By slow steps, so as not to arouse the violent antagonism of the powers, but in pursuance of a definite plan, Great Britain is tightening her grip on North Africa. The Egyptian convention, so far as Sou- dan is concerned, accomplishes all that those who prodded the Marquis of Salis- bury to declare a protectorate could have expected. Great Britain no longer governs through the Khedive. She becomes & co- equal ruler and ignores the mixed tribunals. This means that the Governor General] is responsible only to Downing street and Parliament. The comment of the Liberte of Paris, that treat Britain does not annex the Soudan —she palms it like a slight of hand per- former,’ is a specimen of the spirit in which France, already incensed at Great Britain, regards Great Britain’s progress toward absolute sovereignty in Egypt. IT 1S A BIT STARTLING. Tilinois County Surprised by Indict- ment of a Supervisor. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SALEM, IIl., Jan. 21.—The indictment for an attempt to bribe of Supervisor G. L. Eagan of Kinmundy by the grand jury yesterday, has startled the county. It is charged that, as one of the three members of the Building Committee of the County Board of Supervisors, in the letting of a contract for metallic ceilings in the Court- house here, Eagan told Lee Haworth, also of Kinmundy, that if he would raise his bid $100 that he should be awarded the contract. The grand jury was unable to get Haworth before it, but, it is stated, found the indictment by a vote of 12 for to 11 against, on statements of other wit- nesses. “Eagan emphatically denies guilt, seek to have his trial held at once. Kentuckian Killed Two and Was Then “Dogged by Conscience.” Special to the Post-Dispatch. BOWLING GREEN, Ky., Jan. 21.—Seven years ago at Butlersville, a double murder was committed and ever since the perpe- trator of the deed has been a fugitive. Three prominent men of Butlersville en- gaged in a game of cards and as a result Briggs Caldwell, one of the gamesters, shot and killed Fount Justice and Charles Hancock. A few days ago Caldwell arrived in Scottsville, presented himself at the fail and demanded that he be locked up. He says that he had grown tired of being “dogged to death by his conseience.” He will have his trial at the term of Circuit Court now in session at Scottsville. MR.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLDB ROCK, Ark., Jan. 21.—The House was the only branch of the Legisla- ture in session this morning. After the roll call Representative Sulivan’s bill prohibit- ing all females and sons of members from holding clerical positions in the Legislature was takenup. Many frivolous amendments were offered, all of which were voted down. Finally it was amended by eliminat- ing the eons of members and ordered to a third reading. Much delay is experienced by the Legislature every two years in get- ting cown to work on account of the pro- longed campaign made by the ladies for clerical positions. A strong sentiment In both House and Senate favors the prohibi. tion of the employment of females. After a spirited debate the bill passed the House by a vote of 49 to 3. Mr. Cotton introduced a concurrent reso- lution urging the Arkansas representatives in Congress to use their best efforts to remedy the defects in the Interstate Com- merce Law that it may be effective and so framed that the Commission may be able to operate successfully in conjunction with the State Railroad Commission.

Dr. Blice, who attended him, said concussion of the brain caused his death. August Reitz, a coachman who resides at 4959 Wabada avenue, was in the buggy with Mr. Rotternwann, and tells the follow- ing story: ‘Several daye ago I received a team of horses to drive. The team had never been driven togther before, and, of course, did not go well. One of the horses had never been in the city, and I spent most of my time driving him near the street cars to accustom him to them.

In the month of April, 1896, the books @ghow that $189,583.72 of the bank’s assets were swept into the profit and loss column. June 30, 1891, $3,000 of the indebtedness of the Consumers’ Coal Co. was charged to yrofit and loss and the company was cred- ted with this amount on the individual balance book.

These notes for this amount went to the credit of the company and it was entered on the individual ledger. These notes took up the overdrafte of $80,615.01, $22,500 worth of Consumers’ Coal Co. stock owned by the bank, f a $15,000 note which had been given before. On April 2, 1896, $11,707.22 of overdrafts were charged to profit and loss and the ac- count with the Consumers’ Coal Co. closed. April 16 the directors paid into the bank individually $17,500, which was credited to the Consumers’ Coal Co. account, reducing it from $118,427.61 to $100,927.61. * | April 16, $78,927.61 of Consumers’ notes were charged to profit and loss, making a total of $120,111.85 of Consumers’ indebted- ness wiped out by being charged to profit and loss. This left the company owing just $22,000 when the bank closed. Rottmann testified before the referee that the directors considered the capital stock to have been impaired that much when the $17,500 was paid in. On August 18, 1894, T. 8. Teuscher made eix notes to the bank, one for $25,000 and five for $30,000 each. Cashier Kammerer testified in a former proceeding that this was to make good overdrafts of that amount. At the same time he was in debt to the bank $175,000 on commercial paper made and discounted by him in excess of the amount covered by the notes. The collateral on the notes was found by the receiver to be almost worthless. A reat deal of his indebtedness was charged Oo profit and loss, In his testimony before the receiver President Rottmann swore that he looked at the balance book every day to see if there were overdrafts, ‘Sometimes they were small,” he testi- fied, ‘and sometimes not any, and some- times there was more. I told the cashier not to allow any.” Mr. Hoss asked him if he knew anything about the Consumers’ Coal Co.

Several years ago a similar plant was éeupposed to have bloomed in Chicago, but people who saw it say it had only a short tail. The plant itself was also a great deal smaller. The inside of this plant has a velvet-like coating and lower down a silk coating of purple and white.

TICKET FORGERY IS CHARGED. Detense Maintain That Forgery of a Railroad Ticket Is Not an Of- fense Under the Law. The defense closed their argument yes- terday afternoon tn Judge Klein's Court in the case of the indictménts against the ticket brokers or ‘‘scalpers.”’ The case stands on the record as ‘‘State vs. Jacob H. Friedman” and “State vs. Robert McClusky and William McClusky.” There are two indictments against Fried- man, charging him with forging and pass- ing rai:road tickets, and one against tne MoCiusky brothers, in which Friedman is named as acceseory, Dut all are being tried under one indictment, Judges Klein and ‘Talty sat terday morning. The State open its reply. The case is one which is attracting inter- est from railroad men and lawyers all over the country. In addition to its immediate importance the decision will have the ef- fect of what is called a “first impression’’; it will set a precedent for future railway ticket legislation. The defense yesterday filed a mdtion to quash the indictments, urging two argu- ments—the first as to the gubstance and the second as to the form, The point involved in the primary consid- eration is whéther a railroad ticket can be forged under the statutes of this State. The contention of the defense is that it Is not possible to forge a raliroad ticket, be- cause the laws provide that forgery. must involve a pecuniary consideration—and they argue that in a railroad ticket no consid- eration ia involved. Instead of obtaining money by the ticket, they say transportation only is acquired, and that such an instrument of writing @s the certificate of transportation does not constitute an offense. Theodore Eggers, the Circuit Attorney, and Simon Bass as spécial counsel, ap- ear for the State. Messrs. Harvey and olk are on the defense. Speaking of the case yesterday after- noon Mr. Rass eald: “This i@ an original ease. There is no decision On its points by the Supreme Court, and it will estab- lish a precedent. The State contends that this etatute is broad enough to cover any railrond ticket, because {t is undoubt- ed.y property and conveys rights and priv- lleges and obligates the company itself to do their duty as contracted.” FELL DEAD OF HEART DISEASE.

Fifty years ago a delegation of nuns be- longing to the order of the Good Shepherd settled in St. Louis. With little money, but rich in faith, they established headquarters in an obscure part of the city, resolved upon leading the'r fallen sisters to the path of virtue. Their efforts soon bore fruit, and the good Sisters became endeared to the hearts of the charitable public. ‘The late Archbishop Kenrick, who was then in his prime, rendered the House of the Good Shepherd suostantial assistance, He called the Mother Superior to him one day and said: “My dear Sister, I want you to have an institution that will be the pride of S¢, Louis. Build it, and I will see that the funds for its erection are not wanting. The Metropolitan's advice was acted upon. The building now used as the temporary City Hospital was the result. In those days it Was regarded as a model of comfort and architectural beauty. But the needs of the Houge of the Good Shepherd increased and a new building be- came necessary. A site was selected in 1892 at Gravois and Bamberger avenues and a magnificent convent erected there four years ago. In this home the Good Shepherd Sisters who began the'r humble labora when St. Louis was still in its infancy will celebrate their golden jubilee next Wednesday. Elab- orate preparations are being made and the convent Will be thrown open to the public. Archbishop Kain, assisted by several priests of the diocese, will celebrate Ponti- fical mass at 10 o’clock, after which a re- = will follow in the convent parlors. ‘here will be a musica) and literary en- tertainment in the afternoon at 8 o'clock. PLACES TO WORKERS ONLY. The Louisiana Centennial Committees Are Being Enlarged by a Result of Conferences. Hon. D. R. Francis, chairman of the Executive Committee, appointed by ie Louisiana purchase Centennial convention, and Pierre Chouteau, chairman of the Committee of Fifty, were in consultation almost the whole of yesterday in regard to the appointments on the two commit- tees created at Thursday evening's meet- ing. They called in several other promi- nent workers, including capitalists, real es- tate owners, banks and trust companies and the principal lines of commerce. All agree that the success of the move- ment and the early inauguration of prac- tical work depends largely upon the per- sonnel of thes2 two committees, one of which is to increase the origina] Commit- tee of Fifty to a committee of 200 and the other to formulate a plan of campaign and of organization, Only actual workers will be appointed and consent has been ob- tained from every nominee.

The old gentleman died ha:f an hour after the accident.” Mrs. Elizabeth Retenmeir, Mr. Rotter- mann’s daughter, witnessed the accident from an upstair’s window, but did not know that it was her father. The deceased left a widow, who at present is confined in bed with pneumonia. Mr. Rottermann was a strong old man, and did not show his age. He was a re- tired merchant.

Dyspepsia, with its proverbial suffering and discomfort, has the widest range of all disord- ers, because it forms a part of almost every other disease, and some, like pulmonary consump- tion, are preceded by it. In such cases early attention to the defects of nutrition, by the regulating, invigorating ac- tion of Paine’s celery compound will avert a fatal issue. Disease necessarily follows long continued derangement of the digestive organs. A healthy condition cf the stomach is a guarantee against sickness. Pure blood can no more be found in veins where the process of digestion is defective than pure streams of water can flow from stagnant pools. The healthful effect of Paine’s celery compound on the nerves of the stomach and on its mus- cular coats enables the entire di- gestive tract to recover from its irritable and congested condi- tion. Paine’s celery compound has cured innumerable cases of indi- gestion and chronic dyspepsia that stubbornly resisted other remedies. No remedy for these diseases began in an humble way, with two or hres eure men of his race, and has toiled faithfully until now he has an active as- sociation of 3} members. ie | have a good hall at 2643 Lucas avenue, which was for- merly used as a dancing hall.

This greatest of all nerve ‘nourishers and regulators cor- ‘pects the real cause of indiges- tion—the exhaustion of nervous energy and the consequent im- The important thing, then, for a perfect digestion is to have the proper glandular and muscular action, which can only occur when the nerves of the stomach are vigorous, active and wel nourished. The exhaustion of nervous en- ergy by overwork, care and anx- iety, the most, frequent and powerful cause of indigestion, should be met and corrected by the use of Paine’s celery com- pound—a remedy for the nerves ‘and the blood that never fails to nourish the one and to cleanse the other,and to cure every form of indigestion. It increases the actual amount of blood in the arteries and sends it with better circulation to all corners of the body. Constipation, headaches, ner- vousness, palpitation and the other accompaniments of indi- gestion are so many evidences of failing nervous vigor, for the eure of which Paine’s celery compound is wonderfully and perfectly adapted. Many a person suffers from headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath and heartburn, with- out any conception of the real cause. Many a person feels a pain in the region of the heart, and begins to worry about heart disease when it is only his stom- ach that is disordered. l’unction- al disturbance of the heart, as indicated by palpitation, almost always attends dyspepsia and ceases when the indigestion is cured; but long neglected dys- pepsia often results in actual disease of the heart and kidneys. The most unfailing indication that a person is becoming dys- peptic is some uncomfortable sensation coming on uniformly, sooner or later, after each meal. The formation of wind in the stomach demonstrates that dys- pepsia is fixing itself in the sys- tem. There are multitudes who have not known what it is for years to take a single meal with- out its being followed in an hour or two by distressing symptoms. If your digestion is not complete, quick and easy— the food cannot be too quickly and completely converted into chyme and taken into the blood —a bottle of Paine’s celery com- pound will stop short the prog- ress toward dyspepsia and dis- pel the uncomfortable feeling after meals, the disturbed sleep, the little or no appetite for breakfast. glands of the stomach to do their work, increase the appetite HAS REMOVED TO SEDALIA. ‘Rev.

Shortly after 6 o’clock Samuel Glenny, who owns and occupies the house at 6214, prepared to take a bath. For this purpose he heated water in a gasoline stove. Be- fore the water was hot the gasoline in the tank gave out and Glenny attempted to fill it. He does not know just what happened, but in an instant the room was in flames. Glenny fled to the door and escaped into the hall Constanz Geer, who lives at 6212, rushed into the burning house with a hand renade, but his efforts to extinguish the ames were in vain. He remained in the house until his position became dangerous, and then fought his way through the smoke to the front door. When he reached the street he found that his own house was in flames and that the fire was spreading both east and west. An alarm was turned in. The residents of the row _ran into the streets, carrying small articles; but there was little time to Save furniture. The arrival of the fire de- partment was anxiously awaited. Ten min- utes afterwards a second alarm was turned in. This should have brought five engine companies and two hook and ladder trucks, Engine Company No. 30 was the only one that reached the scene and it did not arrive until forty minutes after the first alarm sounded. Four reels, four engines and two trucks were unable to get anywhere near the fire on account of the wretched con- dition of the streets in the West End. The firemen confined their efforts to checking the flames and succeeded in sav- ing the two ‘houses at the west end of the row. Of the six, five were burned to the ground and the other almost totally destroyed. The loss is estimated at $9700. Of this $7200 was on the houses and $2500 on furni- ture, The houses were valued at $1200 each. Nos. 6208, 6210 and 6212 belonged to P. T. Madden, No. 6214 was own by Samuel Glenn and 6216 and 6218 by two sisters of Mr. Glenn. No. 6214 was the only one of the houses insured. No. 6208 was vacant. The occupants of the others were: worse Cox and family, 6210; Constanz Geer and wife, 6212; Samuel Glenny, 6214; Mrs. John Mullen and two daughters, 6216; Modus Pressey and wife, 6218. The house at 6220, occupied by Albert Geer, was silghtly damaged. The average loss on furnitue was $300. The heaviest burden fell on Modus Pres- sey, who was married only two weeks ago and had furniehed his house anew. The occupants of the row found refuge in the houses of neighbors.

Many Americans Eat Too Much, Espe- cially of Fat Meats—New Food for Working People. Prof. W. O. Atwater of Wesleyan Univer- sity, Conn., was the guest of the Commer- cial Club at its banquet last night. Prof. Atwater, besides being an eminent chemist, is the special agent of the United States Department of Agriculture in charge of nu- tritlon investigations. In this capacity Prof. Atwater was before the War Investigation Board In Wagshing- ton on Jan. 14... So important was his testi- mony that parts of it were printed and sent broadcast over the country; but it is eig- nificant that the Board has never given a full and complete statement of this testi- mony. At the Commercial Club’s banquet Prof. Atwater spoke on ‘Food in its Relations to Indnvidual and National Welfare.”’ The address treated of the kinds and amounts of nutriment in different sorts of food; the ways in which food nourishes the body, and the relations of food to its money cost and to the health of the user. Some of the commercial, social and ethical aspects of the food question were taken up and by the aid of charts Prof. Atwater showed the compositions of food materials and the amounts of nutriments in them as compared with those used in different classes in the United States and other coun- tries. Among other things he said: A quart of milk, three-quarters of a pound of moderately fat beef, sirloin steak for instance, and five ounces of wheat flour, all contain about the same amount of nutritive material; but we pay different prices for them and they have different values for nutriment. The milk comes nearest to being a perfect food. It contains al! of the different kinds of nutritive materials that the body needs. Bread made from the wheat flour will support life. It contains all of the necessary ingredients for nourishment, but not in the proportions best adapted for ordinary use. man might live on beef alone, but it would be a very one-sided and imperfect diet. But meat and bread together make the essentials of a healthful diet. Such are the facts of experi- ence. The advancing science of later years ex- plains them. ‘This explanation takes into ac- count, not simply quantities of meat and bread and milk and other materials which we eat, but also the nutritive ingredients or ‘‘nutrients’’ which they contain. Chemical analysis shows our food materials to contain water and four classes of nutrients called protein, fats, carbohydrates and mineral waters. Protein is found in the lean of meat, in the white of eggs, in the casein (curd) of milk, in the gluten of wheat and similar substances which contain the chemical elements nitrogen. Of fats we have familiar illustrations in the fat of meat, in the bufter-food, of milk and in vegetable oils, such as olive oil, cottonseed oil and the oils of wheat and corn. The principal carbohydrates are starch, which makes up a large proportion of potatoes, wheat and corn and the different kinds of sugar, such as cane sugar and glucose. The mineral mat- ters include such things as the phosphate of lime, which is a constituent of bone. In order to fit our food to the demands of health it should in the first place ‘‘agree’’ with us, that is to say, we should select the kinds of food which we can eat without discomfort. In the second place, we should have such kinds and amount as will furnish our bodies enough of the materials they need to build and repair the tin- sues, and to furnish fuel to keep them warm and supply them with muscular power. So far as health is concerned, the principal dietary errors of well-to-do people are that they eat too much and especially that their food eon- tains an excess of fats, starch and sugar. We eat a great deal more of fat meat and butter and starchy food, like bread, potatoes and sugar than is well for us. Of course this is not true of every one. Many people, indeed, do not eat enough. The different xfnds of meat differ even more in proportions of fat than one would suppose from their appearance. some ance | few samples have been analyzed, however, a0 robably future investigations will change these — more «ft less. ndeed, meats are so variable in compo- sition that it is very difficult to say just what are the average figures. Generally speaking, veal is the Jeanest and pork the fattest of ordinary meats. Mutton is apt to be a little fatter than beef. Of he different cuts of beef the lion. rump and shoulder are among the leanest, while the ribs and flank are the fattest. Mutton and lamb furnish about the same amount of protein and have the same fuel value as the fatter cuts of beef. The loin is the fatter part of beef and mutton. This is especially the case with mutton, because the leaf fat is usually included with the loin as it is sold in the markets, while in the case of beef the tallow and suet, and in the case of swine the leaf lard, are cut out. Pork is so much fatter than the flesh of beef and mutton that even the strictly ‘‘lean cuts,”’ as the lean after the removal of the leaf is called, eontain relatively as much fat as the fattest cuts of other meats. The case is similar with smoked ham, though the large proportion of fat is due in part to the loss of water in prepara- tion. Among the prepared meats canned corn beef, which is ordinarily cooked before canning. is worthy ef especial notice. It has a large amount of both protein and fats. Like most other kinds of canned meats, the corned beef ‘s free from bone. It furnishes more protein, pound per pound, than most kinds of fresh beef, and stands very high in fuel value. Among the vegetable; foods the chief differences to notice are the prd@portions of water and of protein. The quantities of water range from 20 per cent or more in beets and turnips to as low as 10 per cent in some kinds of flour. In gen- eral, dry seeds, like wheat, corn and beans, and the different kinds of flour and meal prepared from them, contain not far from one-eighth water and seven-eighths nutrients. Beans and peas con- tain the largest proportions of protein, and corn- meal, potatoes, rice, turnips and beets the least. Among the cereals wheat is the richest in pro- tein. Doubtless this is one chief reason why it is so largely used for food. Oatmeal has rather more protein than wheat flour. In the commercial aspect of the subject refer- ence -Wwas made to some of the which our great food products used. One difficulty witb as food, is that it has not oneugh pro- tein. In this respect it is inferior to wheat. What is wanted to make it a more nutritious food is to use with it food contatning protein. Milk contains a good deal of protein, even after it bas been skimmed, hence the physiological economy of such dishes as mush and milk. Cottonseed meal, which is now largely used for food for cattle, contains very large amounts of protein and is capable of being so ground and cooked with In- dian meal as to make a highly palatable, nu- tritious dish. Here is a suggestion, which, if put into practical effect, would be of great advantage to the working classes. AN APPEAL FOR GOOD STREETS Commissioner Milner Makes the Point That St. Louis Should Get Ready , for the Big Fair. Street Commissioner Milner has issued a letter stating in brief the progress of his department since 1878 in which he vig- orousiy calls attention to the increased need for street improvements created by the World's Fair project. The letter says: If the public hearing for street improvements that was held last week, when the property owners presented majority remonstrances in every instance, is a sample of their feeling in this matter, St. Louls will show her visitors the largest mileage of unimproved and mac- adam: streets of any city that ever attempted to hold a world’s fair. If St. Louls wants to be considered a mod- ern city at least 40 miles of streets should be constructed and reconstructed every year for the next four years. Mayor Ziegenhein and the Roard of Public Improvements are doing all ia their power to pave the streets. The improve- mnents of the streets are in the hands of the property owners. Ope hundred and thirty- seven ordinances were submitted to the Mu- nicipal Assembly since the proposed charter amendments. If all of these ordinances are passed contracts will be let in April, 1899, for the construction of 18% miles of streets and seven miles of alleys. The total] cost of this peyoeaee work will amount to about §750.000. ils ts the largest mileage ever prepared for one season's work. In view of the fact. how- ever, that St. Louis has 457 miles of unimproved streets, and has 338 miles of mwacadam and Telford streets that sbould be reconstructed and is going to have a world's fair in 1908, 18% miles of new streets for one year at the pres ent Ume is entirely inadequate.

MILLET OF BOSTON HAS SUED FOR DAMAGES. -— PLANTERS’ HOTEL DEFENDANT. Millet Claims He Ate White Fish at the Hotel and That It Resulted in Ptomaine Poisoning. Josiah B. Millet of Boston has gone to court because of a fish. Mr. Millet says he ate fish at the Plant- ers’ House restaurant. Mr. Millet became sick. The doctors told Mr. Millet the fish was to blame. Mr. Millet thought the Planters’ Hotel Co. was more to blame than the fish. Through Attorney H. Chouteau Dyer he brought suit yesterday in the Cir- cuit Court for damages, Mr. Millet is a brother of F. D. Millet and manager of a Boston publishing house. He arrived in St. Louis on the morning of Nov. 12 and registered at the Planters’ Hotel. He had a busy day. About 3 o'clock, with two business acquaintances, he went to the Planters’ restaurant for lunch. He ordered white fish. He says he was s0 occupied with busl- ness conversation an seasoned the fish so ‘highly that he had not discovered that anything was wrong. About 6 o’clock he began to feel ill and steadily grew worse, but was able to go to the Union Station and take a train for Chicago, between 10 and 11 o'clock. After the train pulled out his troubles began. There was no boffet and no doctor on the train. Attorney Dyer saye he suf- fered intensely all night and when the train reached Chicago the next morning he was in such shape that it was necessary to carry him from the train to a carriage, which took him to the Auditorium. Doctors were called, who gave him relief, but Mr. Dyer says he was very eick for ten days and felt the effects long after. “The doctors pronounced it a case of ptomaine poisoning,” said Mr. Dyer yes- terday, ‘“‘due to the fish he ate having be- — to decay. He placed the case in the ands of a firm of Chicago lawyers and they turned it over to me. Mr. Millet cer- tainly ought to be compensated for the time he lost, at least. I suggested a com- promise on this basis to Manager Weaver of the Planters, but he did not see fit to settle and the suit was brought. “I think we can establish clearly that Mr. Millet’s sickness was due to the fish he ate at tne restaurant. ‘Yes, the case is peculiar, but there have been several similar ones brought in Eng- land. In one a man was sued for selling maeet in which there was too much fusil ra) Pees Manager Weaver of the Planters said: “Of course there is absolutely nothing fn it. Probably the man became ill and, find- ing no satisfactory cause, ascribed it to the fish he had eaten for dinner. Never before have I heard a complaint about our food, and so you may be quite sure we will fight the case.”’ THE WHISKY SAVED HIS LIFE. Drunken Man Slept in a Cellar That Was Full of Gas and May Recover. For 12 hours John Sempter slept in a cellar permeated with the fumes of gas. He was drunk and did not realize his danger and was unconscious when found.

He was last in business as the agent of a nail factory at 6 North Second street, but was compelled to retire on account of ill health early in 1898. He had charge of the commissary depart- ment of the Union Army in Missour! dur- ing the latter part of the Civil War. Col. More came to 8t.

Suit to Determine the Right of a Street Car Passenger to Offer Any Large Amount for His Fare. Mrs. Maude Coquard instituted proceed- ings for a divorce from Louis A. Coquard yesterday. The petition states that the couple were married in Windsor, Canada, in June, 1897, and separated Jan. 18, 1899. Mrs. Coquard says she was compelled to leave her husband on account of his ex- treme cruelty to her. She alleges that he frequently beat her and that on Jan. &, 1898, he made such a vicious attack upon her as to endanger her life. She avers he swore at her constantly when at home and offered her such insults in the pres- ence of her child that she was compeiled to send it to a convent, that it might not be contaminated by them. She claims that Coquard has an income of $600 a month and asks the court to award her such alimony as will maintain her in that condition of life to which she has been accustomed, Mr. Coquard is a broker, with offices at 124 North Third street. He was considered to be a very wealthy man a few years ago, but it is said he has recently suffered re- verses of fortune. Effie Tasche wants a divorce from Otto Raymond Ta%zche. She alleges he has neg- lected and maltreated her and that he has severely beaten her on several occasions, She says he recently made a vicious as- sault upon her, pinioning her to a brick wall while he repeatedly struck her and divested her of the greater part of her clothing. / Emma Neumann began a suit for divorce from Charles Neumann yesterday. She alleges abandonment and statutory grounds. She asks that her maiden name, Emma Gibrauer, be restored to her. Peter Bonifer asks to be divorced from Charlotte Bonifer. He accuses her of cruel and barbarous treatment of him. He says she quarreled constantly with him, and smashéd and ruined his furniture on sev- eral occasions. He also presents statutory grounds in his petition. Jennie Strube wishes to be divorced from John Strube. She says he abandoned her. She asks to be awarded the custody of her l-year-old baby. Mamie G. Ebbs filed a petition yootensey for a divorce from Harry F. Ebbs. She charges him with having deserted her. They were married in September, 1897, and separated April 4, 1898. ack Davis is seeking a divorce from Em- tiine Davis on statutory grounds. He asks ae Speey of his two children—a boy and a girl. Moses E. Craft says he has been deserted by Maria Craft, and he prays the Circult Court to divorce him from her. May Lucy Motz entered suit yesterday for a divorce from George Motz. She says he abused her, and maltreated her and slapped her when he objected to any of her actions. She asks that her maiden name, Mary Morik, be restored to her. Jacob Richmann filed suit yesterday for a divorce from Mary Hoppe Richardson. He charges her with desertion. Freida Courtenay applied yomercag for a divorce from Edward St. George Courte- nay. She presents statutory grounds and says the defendant has been convicted of a felony. Josie M. Sittle filed suit yesterday for a divorce from Joseph Sittle. She alleges non-support and asks that her maiden name, Josie Sullivan, be restored to her. William R. Cox has filed suit against the St. Louis Rallroad Company for $1000 dam- ages. He alleges that Nov. 21, 1898, he boarded one of defendant's cars for a ride, and tendered the conductor a $20 bill, with the request that his fare be deducted from it and the change be returned to him. He says the conductor refused to take the bill and ejected him from the car. The case is interesting because it will require the court to decide whether any tender of fare, however great may be the value of the coin or bill from which it must be de- ducted, is sufficient to obligate a common carrier to give a passenger a ride. Mrs. Grace D. Burke has asked the Cir- cult Court to award her $0) damages against the Hagan Opera House Company for personal injuries. Mrs. Burke was witnessing a performance of ‘Cyrano de Bergerac” at the Imperial Theater, which is controlled by the defendant, Yec. 6, 1898, and during the battle scene of the fourth act was struck on the head by a wad, which was discharged by one of the supers. She was carried, fainting and bleeding, from the theater, while the great- est excitement prevailed among the audi- ence. Timothy Burke, Mrs. Burke's hus- hand, has also filed suit against the same defendant. He make the same allegations that his wife's petition contains and says the temporary disability of his wife dam- ed him to the extent of $2509.

SACKBARR” a= Ge Advertisements Which Have Excited Comment and Curiosity in St. Louis. A mysterious advertisement has been in- serted twice in the “Information Wanted’’ column of the Post-Dispatch. On Monday, Jan, 16, a middle-aged, rather poorly dressed woman entered the business office of the Post-Dispatch, and with great nervousness handed the following adver- tisement to one of the clerks: “If Mrs. Sackbarr, supposed to be in St. Louis, will write to 1221 Garfield avenue, Minneapolis Minn., she will hear of something to her interest.’' If Mrs. Sackbarr was in St. Louis, as supposed, she evidently either failed to see the advertisement or did not care to hear ‘“‘something to her interest’’ and did not write to 1221 Garfield avenue, Minneapolis. But the _——s who are seeking her are determined to find her. For on Saturday the second advertisement appeared in the Post-Dispatch: ‘“‘Mr. FF. Sackbarr is seekin whereabouts of his wife. James Hotel.”’ This time the notice was givenito one of the advertising branch offices at Four- teenth street and Clark avenue. At the St. James Hotel no such man ae F. Sackbarr was known. registered nor been there to see whether any one had ca.led with information as to his wife, and no telegram had been received from such a man engaging rooms or a ing any directions for keeping or for- warding his mail. information of the all or address St. PRIMARY CALLED He had neither | In response to an inquiry in Minneapolis ' as to the Garfield avenue address and to the personality of the Sackbarrs, this tele- gram was received:. **Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 21, 1899.—No such number on Garfield avenue. Nothing under 2000. Name Sackbarr not in directory.’’ From all which it appears that ‘Mrs. Sackbarr’’ was justified in not writing to the Garfield avenue address to learn some- thing to her interest. But the mystery re- mains, in truth it deepens. THE WILL WAS NOT SIGNED. That Is Why Mrs. Keating’s Sisters Seek to Break It. An effort will be made by Anna K. Lan- caster, Ella Bannerman and Fitzgibbon to break the will of their sis- ter, Agnes Keating. Mrs. Keating died Sept. 1, 1898. A few days after her death a document, purporting to be her last will and testament, was filed in the Probate Court. By its terms Mrs. Fitzgibbon, Mrs. Bannerman and Mrs. Lancaster were to re- ceive $1 each and the residue of the prop- erty was to go to another sister, Mrs, Mar- garet Killian. It is alleged by the complainants that this document does not really express Mrs. Keating’s last wishes in regard to the dis- tribution of her praperty. They charge that it was made a year before the death of the tegtatrix, while she was of unsound |to know when regular meetings were held. | ' mittee is unwieldy and ineffective, and Mary Jane | TUESDAY, FEB. 7. Demoeratic Precinct Commit- teemen to Be Elected. MALCONTENTS WERE DEFEATED GIVEN CAMPBELL RESIGNED THE CHAIRMANSHIP. Judge B. P. Taafe Unanimously Elect- ed His Successor—Democratic Central Committee Meeting. Given Campbell has resigned as Chair- man of the Democratic City Centra] Com- mittee. Judge B. P. Taafe was elected to succeed him. The malcontents were defeated in their plan to revise and amend the constitution and to change the method of electing ¢x- ecutive committeemen, A primary election to elect precinct com- mitteemen will be held Feb. 7, in accordance with the present constitution and by-laws, and they will elect the Executive Commit- tee. The above are the net results of a rather turbulent meeting of the Central Commit- tee held in the Jefferson Club Hall last a i pout half of the 426 members of the committee were present when Vice-Chair- man B. Taafe called the meeting to order. Secretary Sam T. Ratheil was ab- sent, and it looked as though half the even- ing would be consumed in electing a tem- porary secretary. Tom §. Cannon was nominated, but declined; then in succession Mesers. Roach and Burke were nominated and declined; then C. J. Denny and John A. Lee were nominated. Each tried to de- cline, but were met by a storm of noes, after which a wealth of oratory was wast- ed in points of order to the effect that they had the great American privilege of de- clining if they saw fit. he Chairman dis- osed of all these by ruling that in these Sane and this country the office should seek the man, and not vice versa. f The firet point for the “r lars” as it afterwards proved, was in the ruling of the chair that Ward Chairmen should cast the full strength their delegation, whether present or not This ruling was made a precedent later on. After much confuvion and challenging of votes John A. Lee was elected temporary. secret by a handsome majority, 292 votes to 16 for Denny. Judge Taafe then read the call, and took oceasion to say that there was no scheme on foot and that the only business to be contidered was that embraced in the call, namely, to arrange for the election of pre- e'nct committeemen. Charles F. Kelly of the Twentieth Ward, leading the insurgents, wanted to know if action was to be confined to what was contained in the call. If so, he wanted He then offered the following preamble and resolution’ , Whereas, Under the present plan of organization the Democratic party of St. Louis has met with successive and decided defeats which we believe to be due to the fact that the present City Com- Whereas, We consider the City Central Com- mitte the party’s foundation, and therefore should be strong, solid and to the people’s liking; and Whereas, We believe the discord in our party bas been the result of friction between commit- teemen representing the same wards by reason of their struggle for credit and effort to avoid re- sponsibilities; and Whereas, We believe that there should be each ward one man who should and could be held accountable for the party's welfare; therefore, Resolved, ‘That the Democratic City Central Committee be reorganized and the chair is hereby ‘directed to appoint a committee of five outside mind, and was under the influence of Mrs. | Killian.

A DOCTOR FOR FIFTY YEARS. Semi-Centennial Celebration in Honor of Dr. Preetorious. Twenty doctors of jurisprudence gathered at Faust’s Saturday night to honor their fellow doctor of jurisprudence and towns. man, Dr. Emil Preetorius. The occasion was the formal presenta- tion to the veteran editor of his semi-cen- tennial diploma from the University of Giessen, esse-Darmstadt. It is the custom of the German university to issue new eo Br: to all living gradu- ats who have held the aegree of doctor for fifty years, and Dr. reetorius had reached the half century milestone. The men German Consul, Dr. F. . Meier, assem- bled to celebrate the arrival of the coveted document, were not mere academians, but full-fledged doctore of jurisprudence resid- ing in or near St. Louis. Addresses of felicitation were made by | all the guests, and it was long after mid- night when the company had concluded singing studenten leider and telling of col- lege days. CLEVER YOUNG COLORED So0Y. He Was About to Commit a Robbery When Captured. Sylvester Ages, a 16-year-old colored boy, manifested unusual genius for one of his years in his plans for robbing a second- hand store last night. Henry Solomon keeps the store at 1311 Market etreet. In the windows were some watches and jewelry. them. the store. about three feet long. The handies on the doors are not unlike those on street cars. When the negro put the asatick through both handles Mr. Solomon was securely locked in. Sylvester had a stone raised ready to break the window and help himself to the valuabies when Detect.vee Dotzgman and Willams saw him. Now Sylvester is in the holdover, “‘held for the chief." TO ABOLISH SWEAT SHOPS. ———— Garment Workers Will Send a Delega- tion to Jefferson City. The Garment Workers’ Union met Jast night at Harugari Hall, Tenth and Carr streets, Steps were taken to help secure the pas- sage of the bill for the abolition of sweat- shops and two delegates were appointed to go to Jefferson City in the interests of the : ‘ Solomon was in the back part of of the City Executive Committee, who must report back to this body on next Saturday evening, Jan. 28. at 8 o'clock, a set of by-laws to govern the selection and conduct of said committee according to the following points: 1.

Should any member of the City Central Com- mittee become an office holder or appointee after his election or a candidate for election or appoint- ment, it shall be the duty of the City Central Committee to remove such member upon sufficient evidence of the truth of the charge. 7. Should a vacancy occur in said committee either from death, resignation or removal, the vacancy shall be filled by a popular vote of the voters of the ward at a meeting in the central ortion of the ward three days after said meet- ng has been advertised once in the daily press, which advertisement shall be inserted the day following said removal. These rules can be altered or amended only after notice in writing submitted at a regular meeting of said committee being read at three different regular meetings, and receiving a two- thirds vote of the full committee. Then T. J. Halloran of the Eighteenth Ward offered the following resolution: who, at the invitation of the. Syivester wanted! Sylvester had a hickory atick ; That this body instruct the Democratic Execu- tive Committee to call a convention on the 7th day of February, 1899, to elect delegates to the elty conventi and said delegates to elect one executive committeeman from each ward, and then in turn the Democratic Executive Committee appoint one precinct committeeman from each pre- cinct of the several wards in said city, and on the Sth day of lebruary, a convention to be called to ratify the election of committeemen, These pri- mary elections to be held under the auspices of the Election Commissioners and that each ward be entitled to a pro rata representation according to the Democratic vote of the last e ection.

Mr. Kelly, seeing how the land lay by the vote for John A. Lee, moved that only those present be allowed to vote. If. this had been carried the regulars would prob- ably have lost the day, Sut the first ruling of the chair was cited, and the vote was cast as before, resulting ‘n laying the Wray substitute on the table by a vote of 276 to 208. Under the chair’s ruling. this Jaid everything on the table. Andy Carroll, amid the general confusion, moved to re- rae Pty whole matter to the Lexow com- Ben F.

Folk read from the rules to show that the resolution could not be adopted ag it would change the constitu- tion without previous notice bel given. The chair ruled the point well taken and the Brady resolution fell by the wayside. Mr. Folk then moved that a committee of seven be appointed to whom all] the reso- lutions offered be referred, and report a plan of reorganization to another meeting to be held next Saturday CVOREDG. | Mr. Kelly moved that the number of the committee be raised from 7 to 11, including the Chairman.

Mr. Cannon spoke to his resolution et some length on rhe ground that this pro- cedure was in accord with the constitution a by-laws of the committee at the pres- en Mr. Cannon’s motion wae carried by an overwhelming majority, only one negative vote being heard. , Then Mr. Folk, accepting Mr. Cannon's motion as an amendment, again presented his resolution. This caused more uproar, but on the Chair explaining that even al- thou the primary election was provided for it did not prevent a revision of or amendments to the constitution and by- laws, it was put to a vote, but was lost by a large majority. Then came the resignation of Chairman Given Campbell in a letter read by Judge afe, as follows: ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 2. 1806. _ B. P. Taafe, Vice President of the Demo- cratic City Central Committee: My Dear Sir—I hereby resign my office as chair- man of the Democratic Central Committee, to take effect at once.

I regret that I have found that I shall not be able to give such time and personal attention to its thorough organization as I feel that it requires, hence my resignation. ours on ar gb GIVEN CAMPBELL. George W. Harris of the Fourth Ward at once nominated Judge Taafe to fill the va- cancy.

a ones @ LOWERING INTEREST RATE MEANS INCREASED BUYING OF REAL ESTATE. THE DRIFT Millions of Money Paid in St. Louis This Week, Which Must Seek In- vestment—Other Realty Notes. The most important feature of the real estate market last week was the reported loan of $150,000 at 4 per cent on central property. The papers have not yet been filed for record, but the report is reliable. It indicated what the Sunday Post-Dispatch has said for months, that the days of good interest rates on loans are gone, at least for the present. The mad rush to buy Wall street securities will soon expend itself through sheer reduction of attractive re- turn, and there will then be left,only real estate to which surplus money can turn for eafe and satisfactory investment. Business for Two Years.

R, : Richard Oroker, 5 East 74th street What Will They Do With ItP Within the past week $20,000,000 have been paid to citizens of St, Louls, every dollar of which will immediately seek reinvest- ment. The sum named is made up of the following items, and it will be observed that nothing is included for the Drummond To- bacco sale, as that was made and the money paid some time ago: Stockholdors in the Lindell system Kteckholders in the Hamilton syndicate. Stockholders in the Green Line (Sixth 23% bs SEESESSSS2E% a ee nO S elite ébebcees ue ee eeeeee ee eeeees oases » $20,000,000 The question naturally arises, What will the owners of these funds do with their money? What investments will they seek? What better can they find.than St. Louis real estate? Will they sell out their busi- nesses, and then buy them back again? That is what they virtually do when they sell out an industrial enterprise, which they had formerly owned, and then join the Wal] street craze now raging and reinvest the money in any kind of industrial stock, whether of their own enterprise or of some other. A man cannot make himself indus- trially safe by selling out his own busi- ness and then buying a share in some other man’s Dusiness. That is equivalent to swapping dollars; or rather, to sellin an industrial danger that he can see an buying into one that he cannot see. here is no investment so enduring, s0 safe, and in the Jong run so satisfactory as real estate that is advancing in value. The active real estate agents of St. Louis now have a rich clientage to. present their investments to and the op- portunity will undoubtedly be improved. The Drift,in New York City. The Record and Guide, the New York real estate paper, in its issue of the 1t4h, givee some interesting official data to show the trend of the business in that city. During the first two weeks of 1898 the total number of conveyances was 64; while dur- ing the same period this year the number was 5622. This looks like a falling off in business, but there really was an increase. For the considerationg last year were 3,562.876, while this year they were $6,556,- i. That is to say, there are fewer small buyers in the market than there were last year; but there are more large buyers. Let enough large buyers come in, and the small ones will follow fast enough. In loans a similar condition existed, as a matter of consequence. During the first two weeks of last year the number of rea] estate loans waé 663, and the amount $6,517,- 3%; while this year the number was 668 and the amount $9,471,398. The number of bor- rowers Was no greater, but the number of large borrowers was. n building the showing is equally tnter- esting. During the first two weeks last year the number of permits issued wag 9% @nd the amount was $3,265,900; while this _ the number of permits was 113, and @¢ amount $2,096,660. The average cost of the ey last your was $34,500; and this year it is $17,600. More buildings are going up, but they are less expensive—more for the many and less for the few. Comparative Realty Values. Last week the northwest corner of Wash- ington and Winter streets, Boston, was fo d for $452,000, or $200 a square foot. ‘The mcation is in the theart of the great retail istrict and corresponds closely with Wash- neton avenue and Broadway in this eit he improvements on the site are one old four-stor store, Worth about $30,000. This Caves the value of the land $422,000, or io * square foot, which is equivalent to : a front foot on a depth of 150 feet. at. is generally conceded that no land in 8 will stand a valuation to exceed — @ Value of Broadway and Wash- On avenue is probably $8000 a front foot. th ¥Y should a corner in Boston be worth reo and one-half times as much as a Similar corner in St. Louis? he difference is not due to difference in Population; for when oiet conside Leaving the Louls has the greater he Boston store is any customers than the f St. Louts, for the all the time, and the oure in one are as long as the hours in the other. : in Boston cannot wait on any Ustomers per hour than the clerks and there is b "ithe ' IN NEW YORK. of the purchasing power of the average customer. This is determined by the amount of money that the average cus- er can expend in a year. It is a trite sa that money is more abundant in an and settied community than in_a newer one. A reasonably ac- curate of the amount of money in circulation in the two cities can be ob- n from the clearing house exchanges. These were in Boston $5,254,000,000 and 000,000; a ratio of 8.7. clearings in the fere ] ith | np e w arge 3.7 times as much money in circulation, per capita, as in St. Louls. The result ig that the purchasing power of the average customer there is in- creased that much. The Boston customer will occupy as many square feet of floor epace as the St. Louis customer—that is the crowding of the two etores may be the same—the Boston customer will take up as much of the clerk’s time as the St. Louis customer; he will pay. no higher price per article for what he buys; but in the same space of time he will spend on an average 3.7 times as much money as the St. Louis customer does. While the St. Louis purchaser is spending $1 the Bos- tonese is spending $3.70. Consequently, on the same percentage of profit the Boston retailer does 3.7 times as much business, ,and therefore pays 3.7 times as much rent for comparatively the same location. Personal. Mr. L. E. Anderson and his family are on a trip to the West Indies, Mr. ©. H. McMillan, secretary of the An- derson-Wade Realty Company, celebrayed his twenty-elghth birthday last Thursday. It is safe to say that few men of his years in the real estate business have a brighter future and that serious problems in the fhusiness do not fall on cooler heads or sturdier shoulders, Messrs. Paul Jones and Oreon E. Scott will move into the new Pozzoni build- ing, Eighth and Chestnut streets, as soon as the alterations are completed. Mr. 8S. E.

A number of stocks ehowed further sharp advances, others barely held their own and sharp declines were noted in some quarters. Few persons have an adequate idea of the part that tne West is playing in the current stock mar- ket. Those houses whose private wires ex- tend to St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and other of the large Western cities are doing the heaviest business on the Stock Exchange. The East is bullish. The West is in close touch with the transpor- tation and other large industries, and the West knows that, notwithstanding the dis- turbances in rates, the railways of the country are carrying more freight and more passengers than ever before in their his- tory, and, notwithstanding the rate dis- turbances, that the railways are for the most purt making more money than they have ever before. Of these stocks which to-day sharp advances the features were York Central, the Union Pacific shares and Atchiton preferred. The advance in New York Central was very rapid and pronounced, and the early cabled advices showed that the stock was notably strong, and, indeed, the center of interest in the London market. Purchases of the stock were mainly based upon expectations that the dividend rate would be eoon ad- vanced as a result of, the saving expected through refunding operations and from the ee profits of the Lake Shore acquist- tion. In general trading the expectation that the bank statement would make a very fa- vorable showing was common, and was an influence in the market, but nevertheless the realizing of profits was in imménse volume throughout the morning. Manhat- tan Railway was notably active and er- ratic. The elimination of a part of the short interest in the stock, and the profit taking on the sharp advance was to some extent offset by purchases based on the belief in an early announcement of the de- tails of the electric equipment project. The industrial stocks were active, with the malting and = stocks showing note- worthy strength. The granger shares, while actively dealt in, were only steady. The Southern railways and Louisville & Nashville were in fair de- mand. Northern Pacific common and Mis- souri Pacific were comparatively heavy. The bank statement quite fullfilled the common expectations, The money market has grown steadily cheaper all the week and the lenders of money are apprehensive that a rate on call of 1 per cent will soon be established. Commercial credit was never higher, col- lections were never better, and while con- ducting a large business, merchants seem 80 Well supplied with capital as not to need to borrow largely as heretofore. Indeed, the demand on the part of banks In the in- terior for New York commercial paper has forced down the rates to a noteworthy degree. It is a fact that this week Boston banks have bought prime commercial paper in the New York market at a les: than 3 per cent rate, As an instance of the abun- dance of money in the interior, a bank in a town of moderate size in a neighboring State having deposits amounting to $1,000,- 000, has actually half of that sum on de- osit with its New York correspondent. Vhile trade is active in the town in ques- tion, there is only a small demand for ac- commodation on the part of its customers, These conditions apply more or less throughout the land. showed New There has been heavy selling for foreign account throughout the week, notably on Monday, when upward of 75,000 shares were disposed of here. It is estimated that on balance the foreign selling of the week has amounted to 150,000 shares, the dealings on this account tapering off decidedly after Monday and Tuesday, The reduction in the Bank of England's discount rate on Thursday actually brought an excess of buying orders, and, With the relaxation in foreign discount rates, it would not be surprising if there was a marked change hereafter in the dis- position of the foreign dealings in this market, Most of the leading and more in- fluential of the foreign financial journals have recently been calling the attention of their readers to the favorable opportunities offered in the American investment mar- ket, and their avices may bear fruit later Still, the New York e6ecurity market is not dependent upon the disposition of foreign speculators or investors, as has been shown in the past two years. In the present circumstances, and with the pres- ent outlook, it may again be said that the stock market will strike its level only in the rates for money. With such a speculative movement in full Swing 26 at this time it is excedeingly diffi- cult, and is impossible, for that matter, to approximately even predict the culmination of the movement. It is perfectly plain on the one hiand that the general! rise in prices will not continue all the time, yet there seems to be a more or less indefinite porter ahead of advancing prices. Money s cheap and is cheapening. rade is active and corporation earnings are large. There is almost nothing in sight, and searcely anything can be conjectured that can ar- rin the market with its present momen- um. From whatever quarter or point or view the financial and trade conditions are con- sidered there is nothing but what {s en- couraging. The week's trade reports tell the same stories of expansion and of im- proving tendencies that have been the famillar reading of the past twelve months. Yor example, the week's payments at the clearing houses were 43 per cent heavier than those of 1897 and 52 per cent heavier than those of 1892. These gains are not wholly the result of the heavy dealings on the New York Stock Exchange, for out- side of New York the increases amounted to 45 per cent, as compared with 1892, and *1 ner cent, as compared with 1897. The Treasury's foreign trade s:atement for December, published this week, com- pletes the figures for the calendar year and the exhibit was a most remarkable one. Total exports of $1,254,000.000 were met by total merchandise itmports of $633,664,634—a little more than one-half, and ‘by imports of go.d of about $140,000.00. The | } j licenses iesued tn St. Louls on which there | had been no returns disclosed the fact that | exports of merchandise were $155,000.00 larger than those of 1897. while the imports of merchandise were $109,000.00) smaller. The constant expansion of the country’s foreign trade and its growing ability to provide its citizens with grades of goods and articles of manufacture heretofore imported point to a continuation of a strong position in the foreign exchanges. The ultimate meaning of this Is, firet the repurchase of our forelen held securities. and then the outflow of American canital into foreign fields of investment. These issues may be etill remote, but they are clearly involved in the present circum- stances of our foreign commerce, Saved by a Switchman.

The Quietest Week of the Crop Year in the Local Pit—Weekly Review of the Markets. Wheat—The past week was one of the dullest and least eventful probably in this whole crop year. The speculative market hag been almost at a standstill save for smali scalping operations, and there has not been a great deal of that. No big bulls have bought, nor have any big bears sold, an in consequence the range of prices has been narrow, yet in spite of the small specu!la- tive demand prices have held up remark- ably weil. It ig true the week has shown a decline but not so much as the deadness of the pit, and the bearish cable news would seem to warrant being “es about %@%c for May and \%c for July. he big- gest decline of the week was on Tuesday when May closed at 74%c from TomeG orae on Monday. Since then the biggest iffer- ence either way has been 4sc, being up \%c on Wednesday, down *%c on Thursday, un- changed on Friday and %@%c up yester- day, so that at the close yesterday the price was within 1-l6c of Tuesday's close. As stated cable news has been all bear- ish for several days. Argentine has begun shipping—not largely yet only 40,000 bu but it was the first of the new crop, and since then London reports large offerings for January and February loading at less than American prices and the latest estimates make the Argentine exportable surplus 48,- 000,000 bu. Russia, too, has come into the market, is offering freely, and official esti- mates place the crop at 64,000,000 bu in ex- cess of 1897. Another bear factor is Broom hall’s estimate of the world’s crop, making it 456,000,0000 bu increase over 1897, While Dornbusch makes it 54,000,000 bu increase. Against these factors those of bullish sentiments oppose the smaller stocKs com- pared with last year, together with the fact that American exports since July 1, 140,000,000 bushels, are nearly as large as in the same period last year, which was known in the trade as the “famine year’ in Europe. This argument is good as far as it goes, and justifies prices up to the present time, but if the figures are even appromimately correct, both as to Argen- tine, Russia and the world's crop, a decline would appear to be in order a8 soon as Russian and Argentine shipments begin to cause a let-up in the demand for American, and it cannot be put off indefinitely. There has been no marked decline in exports s0 far, but they are showing some decrease— 6,198,671 bushels for the week, against 5,647 071 bushels the week before—but atill largely in excess of a year ago, when only 8,726,000 bushels. London cables yesterday take the view here advanced and predict a considerable decline. Spots have shown no considerable change. Red wheats are off about %c from a week ago, but hard and rom latter very scarce—about held their own. Local re- ceipts have been generally ahead of a year ago, but have been fully absorbed, and stockg in public elevators, 1,226,917 bushels all grades, show a decrease of 140,000 bushels for the week. *“ CORN—If wheat has been featureless, corn has been more so, and the range nar- rower, the largest variation having been \%c from the close of the previous day. That was on Tuesday, when May was off \e, and Wednesday,,when it went back to where it was Monday. Every other day the close was ether unchanged or %c up or down, yesterday's close being 1-léc below that of the Saturday before. Here is the record of each day’s close: Saturday week, ; Monday, 354%; Tuesday, 35%; ednes- day, 8544; Thureday 35%4@30%; Friday, 3%@ 3543 ; parurday, 35%3:@3)4. With such a mar- ket there ig little to be said—the rocord for the week tells its own story of dullness, with an undercurrent of strength, which serves to keep prices wonderfully steady, Spots show little if any change. No. 2 - mixed ie perhaps 4c weaker, but white, be- ing in demand by millers, is held at a pre- mium, and while nominally lower than a week ago, being quoted at %%c, holders are inclined to carry over, expecting to get 37c. The improvement in receipts con- tinues, although less local cars arrive than a year ago, and public stocks have in- creased 210,000 bu for the week. Still stocks are very small compared with last year, only 882,956 bu all grades, against 4,177,630 bu a year ago, The week’s exports were 2,928,191 bu against 3,297,000 bu the week be- fore and 3,486,713 bu a year ago. OATS—What has been said of other grains applies to oats, with this difference, that while business has been duller than in either wheat or corn, oats alone have shown an advance, a 6mall one, it is true, only \% for May, but still an evidence of strength. Otherwise conditions have been almost identical, no one day showing more than 1, variation either way from the day before. Spots continue strong. White oate went off 4c one day, but got it back later in the week, and prices are just where they were a week ago, Oat men say present prices are 3c too high, but look for no marked de- cline until the May option is out of the way. This opinion about accords with the price bid for July, which was included in the call this week for the firet time, and is 8c below May, 2544. FLOU R—The export demand continues ex- tremely dull—hardly anything doing at all, but the domestic demand, although not equal to November and December. has shown considerable improvement. Prices remain unchanged. HAY—Receipts continue light. while the demand, both local and shipping. is active. There are practically no gtocks, and the supply has barely sufficed to fill orders but prices remain unchanged. As long as this happy state of affaires continues hay men are satisfied, as there is a big saving in handling storage and insurance. CHICAGO MARKET LETTPR—Follow- ing is the review of the Chicago market by J. F. Harris by private wire to J. w Sanford: ‘ CHICAGO, Jan, 21.—The speculative mar- kets ruled steady to-day, but very dull and without significant features. “Trade was very light and without any signifi- cance. Local scalpers sold the market early, but when they tried to cover later the wheat was not forthcoming and a to}. erably firm closing resulted. The exces. sive dullness is responsible for the low prices and this condition ts likely to con- tinue while stocks continue to boom. Ev- erybody appears to be interested in Wall street, to the serious detriment of our mar- et. Feel friendly to wheat around 79 cents and jook for a good turn when the excitement Mast subsides, : Corn and oats narrow but firm, with n interest in them. Provisions show consideralbe§ strength and you may look for better prices. Hog products are cheap and will rally quickly on any speculation, Chat From ‘Change.

No bar- ains are offered, and it is said there will 92 no concessions from current quotations The visible supply statement to-morrow is expected to show an increase in wheat of from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 bushels. The Northwest will show an increase of about 1,000,000 bushels. Manley G. Richmond made his appear- ance on ‘Change Friday after a long and severe wrestle with pneumonia.

LOUIS BANKS’ BUSINESS EX- CEEDED LAST YEAR. — St. Louis clearing house records were broken the past week. The past week's clearings were $38 972,624, as against $29,078 815 in 1898, or an increase of $9,893,809. The balances were $4,209,535 and $3,746,073 respectively. The previous week in 1899 the clearings were $32,666,064. The gain eince last week therefore was $6,306,560. The settling of the Lindell Railway deal was responsjble for part of thts increase. The banner record previously was for the week ending Nov. 19, 1898, when the clearings were $36,386 331. The course of prices In the week's stock market has demonstrated anew, says Ben- nett Wasserman of Max Judd & Co, the very plain fact that public interest has been aroused in the market to an unpre- cedented extent, and that with the evi- dent drift of public opinion based ag it is on the unquestionably phenomenal trade and financial situation, there ig no lie ing what the end of the market will It is well enough to advise caution, of most of the conservative houses in Wal street have been doing for some weeks, but in the present circumstances it is as futile to advise caution as it ig to oF vise confidence and courage in a panic. in short, the present market seems gust aa likely to attain a ridiculously high level, as, on the other hand, ridiculously low levels have been reached from the series of panics which have occurred since Fortunately it may be said of the present market that it is scarcely, as yet, or cem tainly the better classes of stocks are not, selling above an investment basis. The present bull market offers discussion for few grounds beyond the facts, that owing to the tremendous degree of prosperit existing throughout the country, the rail- ways and other corporations are making tremendous earnings; the next point is, that owing to the unprecedented foreign trade situation, and the enormous produc- tion of gold in this country, and in the whole world, for that matter, money is cheap here and is @heapening abroad. In these general circumstances a rise in the value of securities may be said to be obligatory. Of course, there has been al- ready a great rise in the value of American securities, but this rise was due to a more or less limited agoresieiee of what was taking place in the country’s commercial history. The great banking elements of the country recognized the conditions and were heavy buyers of securities at the depressed prices of two years ago. Fortunately for the stock market, the country’s prosperity has not only been maintained, but {t has reached the point in a comparatively short time, which few people thought possible. For months the intelligent presa of the country has been advertising and calling attention to this state of things, and finally there is fo doubt but that the long dor- mant speculative interest has been aroused, and it is the public which is making the } nt stock market. "Cn Monday and Te otey last the stock market hesitated. There was not the slightest change in actual conditions, but it appeared that a number of powerful interests in the market were rather ecared at the rapidity of the advance last week, and they were unquestionably heavy sellers on the two days above mentioned. Ap- parently—and the subsequent course of prices would go to vindicate such a con- clusion—they. found their sales taken with a readiness that surprised them, and they learned that, notwithstanding the part that their manipulation has played in the ad- vancing market, the speculation had out- grown their conception. This is a rather technical view of the sat uation, but as a.matter of fact, one of th most powerful, and one of the most quoted leaders In the present market, became con- vinced on Wednesday, that he had under- e é “ wae . ‘ a 7: * oo 44 bs ad ts a ~ i St. e st Louie Exposition stock St. Lowls Exposition Ist mortgage...10 St. Louls Travsfer Co fo St. Joseph Lead Co Union Stock Yards Union Btock Yards let mortgagr....

a? > Oe EAD Pe ee ee el J r — — The Referee Gives a Brief Outline of What Will Be Done and Also Gossip for Cyclists in General. Missouri's voice will again be heard in the deliberations of the National Astem- bly of the L. A. W. At the recent annual meeting of our Board of Officers Mr. John R. Williams was elected a delegate, and he has signi- fied hig intention of attending. From the earliest days the Missouri D!- vision has had a representative at the im- portant meeting, and her statesmen have had no little to do with writing the laws of the L. A. W. She has uniformly sent active men, and her influence has been po- tent. This year it looked as though we would have to pass the honor by for the reason that the finances of the division are in such a condition that we could 11! af- ford to stand the expense, but Mr. Williams has come to the rescue, and the result is that the Eastern men have immediately opened correspondence with us for the pur- pose of securing Missouri's influence. The National Assembly will consider 22 amendments to the constitution and by- laws, in addition to listening to the reports ef the retiring officers and electing new ones. Many of the amendments are du- licates, so that a short session may be ooked for. Only four of the amendments relate to racing, and this seems to be an answer to the contention of those who wish to retain the control of racing, that most of the time of the assembly is taken up with legislation for the racers. It is true that one of these amendments will take up con- siderable time, but if it is passed it will end all future debates on the subject, and this one ts Sterling Elilott’s proposal to abandon the sporting feature for all time, - Two of the other racing amendments pro- pose to admit the professionals and the others, and register the amateurs. I rather imagine that the professionals will not be admitted in view of the revolt, and there is a fighting: chance for the antl- racing element to carry their amendment. F. Ed Spooner, the cycling writer who made more enemies than all others com- bined and who was continually causing trouble in cycling generally, has been com- pletely eliminated. The New York wheelmen have determined that they will kill six-day racing and are going after the promoters with every pos- sible weapon. At the Assembly meeting in St. Louls last year the L 7, passed a by-law prohibiting the events and this, really led to the rebellion of the riders. The promoters knowing that they could not hold the race under league jurisdiction, induced the riders to revolt and thus place racing for,the time being under no contg! whatever. Just before the event the New York division attempted to have their Mu- nicipal Assembly pass an ordinance pro- hibiting such exhibitions, but it failed to ass. Now they have gone to the Legis- ture and have asked that a law be en- acted providing that no bicycle race or other contest of skill or endurance shall continue for more than 48 hours and that after the 48 hours shall have expired the race can only continue for a period of 12 hours in each 2% hours. The law would make the contestants, the owners of the premises where the contest is held and the manager of the race amenable. If the law is passed it will put an end to the brutal exhibitions in New York at least and as such events have only been successes financially in that State they would be done for good. Arthur A. Zimmerman, one of the great- est riders ever known, placed himself under the ban of the L. A. W. by officiating at the Madison Square Garden races. There is a likelihood of trouble among the athletes of New York as a result of the revolt in the ranks of the wheelmen. The League of American Wheelmen and the Amateur Athletic Union have an alliance whereby each organization respects the rulings of the other and refuses sanction when unsanctioned events controlled by the other are given. Madison Square Garden has Been placed on the blacklist of the L. A. W. and the league will refuse to jesue sanctions for bicycle races to be held at that track. Now the annual military tournament of athletics and bicycle races is to be held at the Garden March 11, and Chairman Mott has declined to issue sanc- tion for the races. Under the terms of the alliance the A. A. VU. will also refuse fod sanction the athletic events and the con- sequences will be that there will either be outlaw-athletes made at the tournament or the races will have to be left off the card. Of course the Garden could be reinstated upon the payment of the $1000 fine imposed by Mott, but there is scarcely a chance that this will be done ag yet, for the league may abandon the control of racing in February and then the $1000 would have been uselessly expended. Charlie Mears, Chief Consul of Ohio, is a strong candidate for the office of Chairman - the Racing Board and will probably get License Commissioner Kalbfeld reports that there was a decrease of 2686 licenses issued in 1898 from the number issued the owed penrs. . In oye yy issued 15,506 bicycle ' ast year S number dwindled to 12 020. Mr. Kalbfeld humorously = Po that he attributes the decrease to a falling off in the humber of cyclists in the city. Of course. What else could he attribute it to? Does he think that an increase in the number of wheelmen in the city would cause a falling off in the number of licenses issued? We know what caused the falling off in the number of licenses, and we know also what caused the falling off in the num- ber of cyclists, and I will tell the License Commissioner. It is the condition of the sireets of this city resulting from the methods of the City Hall gang, of which he is A Component part.

AN INTERESTING Copied From a Brief Filed by Von der Ahe’s Attorney in the Baseball Case in Judge Spencer’s Court. The baseball case is nearing the end. In Judge Spencer's court on Monday morning a decision will be forthcoming. That decision will prove just who is the owner of the St. Louls franchise in the National League. The position of all parties is stated very clearly in the brief filed by Von der Ahe’s attorney. The statement of Von der Ahe, which ap- pears in connection with the brief, also shows ‘his exact position and the good reasons he has for claiming the St, Louts franchise in the National League. ‘In the brief Mr. Von der Ahe ts quoted as saying» “In the matter of the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. vs. the Sportsman’s Park and ~- > pee ie eemeens contin. oe can Aaso- | Wational “Learue wer Bor ree piss > ne) ged _s 4 With my of th Hoga Shae Kan Ryan Cull ti W e of En Philadelphia.

“SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JANUARY 22, 1899 A id . Annie Griffin of Sedalia De- serted by Her Husband. SHE IS A BRIDE OF ONE WEEK. ‘(BARRY GRIFFIN SAID HE WAS AN ACTOR, TAKING A REST. fe Disappeared From Union Station With His Wife’s Money and Jewels and Even Pawned Her Trunks. Deserted by the man who married her only a week ago, and who when he left her took everything of value she possessed, Mrs. Annie Griffin would now be without a roof to shelter her had not Police Matron Gilbert become interested in her and given her a temporary home and secured her honorable employment, The man who so cruelly wronged her is Harry Griffin, who posed as an actor and won the girl's love, and then after bring- ing her to a big city where she knew no one, took every cent she had, even pawning ber trunks, and then left her. Until a week ago Mrs. Griffin was Annie Batey, and she lived with relatives in 8e- dalia, Mo. She Is 22 years old. Her parents died when she was a child. H. Long was her nearest relative and she made her home with his family. Mr. Long is a rocer and in comfortable circumstances. jiss Batey was looked upon as one of the-Long household and she was made @ regular allowance for acting as house- keeper. , She was prominent in church work and taught a class of girls in one of Sedalia’s churches. Hers was a happy, though un- eventful ife until Griffin came across it and ‘.wrker .d it. Now all the sunshine has ons. She cannot return to Sedalia, she eels, for it was against the wishes of her relatives that she accepted attentions from Griffin, and when she left her home as his wife to come to 8t. Louis she was told she had made her own cnoice and must abide by her decision. The home that had been hers eince childhood could never be hers again. She trusted the man who was destined to blight her life. Though only a week has elapsed since she gave up the world for him, the scales have fallen from her eyes. The brightness has’ vanished and darkness reigns. Lese than a month ago Harry Griffin ap- peared in Sedalia. He stopped at one of the good hotels and said he was an actor. e had good clothes and wore them well. He claimed his company had closed at Kansas City, and he ran down to Sedaiia merely for a rest. One Sunday morning he went to Sunday school. That was where Annie Batey first saw him. There was not @ better looking girl in the house of wor- ship, and Griffin looked more than once at er. She was unconscious of his presence, eing interested only in teaching her class. Griffin found it not so iy vg to obtain @n introduction. He asked for permission to call. The request was granted. The actor’s appearance did not please Mr. Long, and he had no confidence in Griffin's boast- ings. It was different with the girl. She believed him. When she was to: visits were not welcome to the Long family 6he consented to see him elsewhere. that his | LEXOWERS WILL. MEET MONDAY Ready to Investigate the Affairs of St. Lonis. | WAGENMAN’S OFFICE THE FIRST ome eee ee KESOLUTION REQUIRES EMINENT COUNSEL RETAINED. Daily and Perhaps Nightly Sessions of the Legislative Committee Will Be Held Here This Week. To-morrow the Lexow probe will be inserted into the body politic of St. Louis How deep it will go and what it will find are two questions that are agitating many minds. That there is something to find, even the members of the eommittee are certain, thanks to the rabid opposition of the parti- ean Republican press of the city to the investigation. When the committee came into existence it was not satisfied that Bt. Louis’ municipal affairs were as rotten as they had been pictured, but the continued and bitter fight made by Republicans against the inwestemeten, the disclosures made by the Post-Dispatch of the purchase of stationary engineers’ license and finally a the public will be admitted and the oath will be administered to all attaches. The Com- mittee will then be ready for busincss. Subpenas will be issued for the witnesses wanted for the first investigation, but they will be kept secret until they have been served. It is not likely the eession Monday will go beyond preparation for real work, which will come Tuesday. Members of the aha declare they intend to work ar “We will hold two sessions daily, when- ever possible,”’ said Senator Hohenschild, “and we may hold night sessions in order to hurry the work as much as possible. The meinbers of the Committee realize that the investigation will cost the State something fend we want to make the expense as small as possible.’’ Senator Hohenschild was referred to the pecullar turn in the Wagenman case and the intimation that his office has been fixed up to receive them. He emiled. Don't you believe that,” he said signifi- cantly. The committee was strongly urged to begin the investigation with the police de- partment. The reasons given for this were that it would in a measure set at rest the charge of partisanship, particularly if any corruption were discovered in the depart- ment; and that the department would pro- duce all its books and papers, and thus sect a good example to Republican officials who have been threatening to test the commit- tee’s power to compel the production of books and papers. The members of the committee were much impressed by this argument, but the exposure of the Wagen- man case knocked out all previous plans and it is not unlikely the office of the Clerk of the Court of Criminal Correction will be the first objective point of the in- vestigation. : It is possible, however, that the commit- tee may begin with the case exposed by the Post-Dispatch, of the alleged purchase of moter gy’ 4 engineers’ licenses. The mem- bers of the committee have the records in this case and are much impressed with its importance. The personalities of the members of the committee are of interest to the public, Senator Elliott W. Major, the Chairman, is a small, slender man, whose face is smooth shaven and rather etriking itn some of its features. His hair is rather long and falls carelessly over his forehead. He is not a handsome man, but his face is rugged and clean cut, his mouth large, his eyes deep-set and bright and his voice musical. He has established a reputation as an ora- | | He had told her that acting was only a | Giversion with him. His parents were wealthy and he had money in his own right. She told him that she. too, had 6aved up several hundred dollars. Then he enpoees that they marry without the nowledge of her people. She consented. She conducted her preparations quietly. On @: morning of the wedding she declared her interitions. There was a stormy scene. e thought they were cruel and did Grif- fin an injustice. Now she knows that love blinded her eyes and that Mr. Long read Griffin's character aright. They come to St. Louls Thursday. "They were to remain here a few days and then continue their journey. Yesterday they went to Union Station to see about her trunks. The bride, still having confidence in Griffin, was left by him in the waiting room. He would be gone only a few min- utes, The checks were in her purse and he took the purse with him. Every cent of money she possessed was in the purse. Minutes elapsed and she became uneasy. The minute grew into hours and still Grif. fin did not come. Matron Hunter observed her evident distress and went to her aid. ~on na a oe. The help of the police 8 invoked.

The Republicans of the Senate and on the committee have never opposed the investi- gation and deprecate the opposition of the St. Louls machine. ' They come prepared to be shocked by what they expect to discover. Every mem- ber of the committee declares in the most unequivocal terms that not a single drop of whitewash will be used. The committee has fortified itself with a brand new resolution, which was drafted by Attorney-General Crow for the purpose of removing all possibility of doubt as to its power to do all the things expected of it.

The committee and its attaches are country mer. This happens by design, it being thought better to select men from outside St. Louis in order to prevent any ground for the charge that attaches were friendly to any faction.

BELLE HANSON WILL SWEAR IT WAS MURDER. She Says Four Men Killed the St. Louis Butcher, Then Hung His Body to the Tree Where It Was Found. There is atrong reason to believe that an Organized band of robbers and murderers has been operating for years in the village of Brooklyn, across the river. A white man of some prominence is sup- posted to be th ead of the band. The other membDers are negroes. There is a saloon in Brooklyn arranged s0 as to make easy the commission of rob- beries and murders, if necessary. It ia believed to have been the scene of scores of robberies and more than one murder. If the story told by Belle Hanson of Brooklyn is true Joseph Brichta was mur- dered there on Dec. 29, 1896. Brichta was a prosperous butcher in Bt. Louls, Dec. 28, 1896, he left home to go to the East Side to b¥y meat. On the morning of December 29, two fish- ermen, William Williams and John Bieser, were passing the Government piling near Brooklyn, when they discovered the body of a man, hanging with the knees touching the ground They notified the town mar- shal of Venice. He discovered that the body wae just over the county line, so after cutting it down he withdrew from the case. Coroner Campbell of St. Clair County neid the inquest the next day, and a verdict of suicide was rendered. There was little to indicate suicide and much to indicate murder. Two handkerchiefs had been knotted to- gether, passed through a barrel hoop and tied around the dead man’s neck. The hoop was hung on a nail about four feet from the ground and the body was in a kneeling posture with the knees barely clearing the ground. This excluded the possibility of his neck having been broken, It is barely possible that by pulling himself down with all his strength he could have strangled himself. Had strangulation been the cause of his death, his mouth would have been open, his tongue hanging out and his eyes pro- truding. here were none of these indica- tions of strangulation. There was a mark around his neck and a bruise on the back of his head, from which blood had flowed. he body, being that of an unknown, there was none to express dissatisfaction with the Coroner’s verdict and the supposed suicide was buried in the City Cemetery. Mrs. Brichta suspected that the dead man was her husband. She investigated and found that her conjecture was correct. She had the body reinterred in Calvary Ceme- terv. Indiscreet remarks were made by some men who had been seen last with Brichta, and the feeling was general that the man had been murdered, but the authorities did nothing. Last Christmas Belle Hanson, a negress who has had a career, quarreled with a man with whom she had been friendly. She threatened to tell all she knew about the death of Brichta. Village Marshal James Thomas drew a statement from her and on the strength of it arrested a negro, but could not get suf- ficient proof and the suspect was released. PAT, ji@3iee SHE WANTS $1550 FROM THE IM- PERIAL MANAGEMENT. DIFFERENCE IN SALARIES. It Appears She Received $250 a Week at the Imperial and Now $200 a Week at the Grand. Miss Minnie Seligman of the Grand Opera House stock company says she is confident she will get judgment for the $1500, for which she is suing Jannopoulo & Gumpertz, man- agers of the Imperial Theater. “Certainly, I am sure I will win,” said Miss Seligman last night. “Haven't I brought suit? “I want the exact amount from the Im- perial management that I would have re- ceived if I had not been dismissed from the company, less the eum that I will earn in my present position. The difference is $1550. I was idle three weeks and my gal- ary in my present position is smaller than that which the Imperial people contracted to pay me. My lawyers think I will win the suit and I know I will.” The managers of the Imperial say Miss Seligman has no chance to win. They claim she vitiated her contract by refusing to re- hearse a part in ‘“‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” It is the old contention. The managers say she quit and she says she didn't. A feature of interest about the con- troversy is that it gives the curious some knowledge of the salaries that are paid to men and women of high repute as mum- mers. It is an open secret that Mise Seligman got $250 a week at the Imperial. She lost $750 by being out of employment three weeks. She is suing for $1,550. That,makes Belle Hunson says Brichta was murdered at 2:30 in the morning of Dec, 29, by being | struck on the head with a “billy” in aj saloon fittei for the commission of such crimes, not far from the place where the body was found. She declares the body was carried to the iling by a white man and three negroes. She says the white man struck the blow and finding on the river bank that Brichta still breathed he finished the job by chok- ing the victim. The body was then strung up so as to suggest suicide. Brichta in peying for a drink itn the ea- loon earlier in the night, had exhibited a large roll of bills. Phe amount secured, ac- cording to the woman’s statement wag $92. | Mrs. Brichta says her ‘husband had $100 when he left home. For weeks after the tragedy the verdict of suicide was a standing joke among these four men Belle sAys. About four weeks after the discovery of the body, two of the men implicated be- came involved in a dispute and in the presence of several others one threatened the other with exposure. The other replied: “You had better be careful or you will stretch a rope like the man did at the} Government Pile.” The four men are all residents of Brook- | lyn, but one of them is not there at the | present time.. At. least one other murder and an in- definite number of robberies, Belle Hanson declare:, should be laid at the door of these four men. &,, It is probably that n investigations will be set afoot and attempts made to give those guilty their deserts. Belle Hanson now lives in a little shanty near the stock yards, barely existing by gathering rags which she sells. She says physique shows that he has known hard work. He is a lawyer and an orator. It is related of him that when he ran for the Senate he rode over his district on a mule, | making free silver speeches. He is plain and direct in speech, quiet and reserved. He is the only member of the committee who sticks to the country manner of dress. Senator H. . Hohenschild of Phetns County is the only member of the com- mittee who is not a lawyer. He is also the youngest member of the committee. He had hardly reached the age of eligibil- ity as a Senator when elected. He is a smooth-shaven, slender man of cordial, jovial disposition. He is probably Petter nformed about St. Louis than any of his Democratic colleagues. He is an archi- tect. Senator Buell H.

OPPOSED TO ANY REDUCTION. Railway Employes Against Lessening Present Passenger Rates. At a recent meeting of the engineers. firemen and shop and office employes of the Missouri Pacific railway, resolutions were adopted opposing the bill before the Missouri General Assembly to reduce the fare for passenger travel from three cents to two cents a mile. They declare they believe such a law would cauee railroad companies to operate their poraenaee departments at a loss and that the burden of the deficiency would be thrown on labor.

Farmer Narrowly Es- capes Death Through His Lack of Knowledge. Thomas Harris of Jonesboro, Ill, was al- most asphyxiated Friday night in his room at the Portland Hotel, 1817 Market street. He blew out the gas, thinking that was the proper thing to do. He was discovered by the hall porter at 10 o'clock yesterday morning in a gsemi- conscious condition. The room was filled with gas, An ambulance was summoned and Harris Was removed to the City Hospital. Dr. Cherles Thierry said last night that he would recover. Harris is a farmer, 4 years old. “I had been out visiting friends at She)- byville, Mo., and it is the first time I have been away from home for many years. I came to St. Louis Friday morning, and having businese to transact here decided to rema‘n over night. Now, in our parts—l live some distance outside of Jonesboro— we use coal oll lamps and candles. “We don’t know what gas is out there.

Filley’s Good Government Club held its first informal meeting at the new headquarters last night. The evening was signalized by the address of the club's founder, who seemed to have lost none of his old-time vigor and raciness. The attendance did not crowd the capac- ity of the hall and the enthusiasm was not too boisterous. The “Good Government Club” is founded on strict business principles, and the man at the bar, as well as the genius presiding over the table of sandwiches, or the youth who kindly checked coats and hats, worked on a cash basis only. Perhaps that ac- counts for the lack of enthusiasm, A fair-sized audience greeted President L, J. Wall when he rapped for order and in- troduced Mr. Filley, who lost no time in starting in on a vigorous denunciation of the Ziegenhein administration. “I am surprised and gratified,” he de- clared, ‘“‘at the number and the class of the citizens present. It indicates that some at least, are taking an interest in go overnment. Our motto, ‘God give us onest men, men who cannot be bribed, men of opinions and a will,’ must be a text for all of our future campaigns. “In the spring of '97 we started in with weekly and semi-weekly ee before even the ticket was nominated. e made two epeeches a week in every ward, incul- cating the great Republican principle t we needed good men. We declared that Ro franchises must be given away to the rabbers; that there must be good etreets or all, not for a few; that there must be equal taxation and no taxation without representati:n. These are great trutns, We said that the circumference must have the same rights as the axle—that the sub- urbs must have as good streets as the city. Those were our principles then. We elect- ed an administration to carry them ovt Well—did it? “Where are we to-night? We haven't got a dollar to devote to etreet improve- ments. Why? We want to know. We shall ow. “We elected this Ziegenhein administra- tion on certain principles and they have been repudiated—every one of them. “Now we are allied because we have got to conduct our campaigns in a different way. We will have no pey-ren gang. We will not be servile tools! We wiil teach this City Hall crowd the great truth that the officials are the servants, not the masters, of the people. We will make the eubjects of the y-roll earn their wages, and we will pull them down from their playing the king over this city of St. Louis. We are going to ne gs wy - govern- ment and to get k g Governors. That’s what we are hére for. Some men on the last ticket ran up a majority of 24,000 votes.

What would have happened to us? ellow Republicans, we would have been in the soup. “I will tell you geome secret history.

Because, though a pioneer in all progressive movements pertaining to women, she was successful in hand- ling affairs which, in the hands of a less skillful manager, would have be- come offensive to many, without even temporary loss of grace or dignity. Mrs. Learned’s admirers voted for her for the following reasons: 1. Because of her individuality. ®. Because she has been a careful and practical housewife and mana- ger, and has looked after her home and children carefully, yet has not relaxed her intellectual efforts. 8. Because of her wonderful self- control. 4. Because of her clear thought. 5. Because of her good common eéense and judgment. 6. Because of her wonderful mind and the great use she has made of it. 7. Because of her ability to express herself in public speech. 8. Because she was the originator and founder of the Unity classes. For half a century Mrs. Penelope Allen, widow of the late Beverly iAllen, has been one of the ablest workers in St. Louis in all that pertains to mental culture. She has been an interesting worker in the in- terest of women. She was one of the earliest and most ef- fective advocates of the political emancli- pation of women, seeing more clearly than others that upon such freedom depended the industrial emancipation of the sex, She is vice-president of the Suffrage As- sociation of St. Louis, which has done much toward securing women the freedom they desire—notably the establishment of the property rights of women. Notwithstanding her 80 years Mrs. Allen is ever alert when any question concerning women's work or child labor is under dis- cussion. She attends the meetings of the Wednesday Club when her health or the weather will permit, and is always one of the first on her feet to vote when any important matter is being considered. Her mind is still as active as it was 30 years ago, when the doors of her home were thrown open to such fosterers of genius as Dr. William . Harris, then Superintendent of the public schools of St. Louis, and Henry Brokmeyer, ex-Lieutenant Governor, who were at that time the center of a coterie of educators and philosophers, who succeeded in bring- ing to the West such notable characters as Ralph Waldo Emerson, A. Bronson Alcott and Juiia Ward Howe, Mrs. Allen's height is five one inch and she weighs only 9% but within that emall frame is encompassed a wonderful mentality, the of. which has been displayed in countless ways. Her forehead is high and broad. Her nose is of the Grecian type; her mouth small. Her hands small and white and are not wrinkled, in spite of time. Her jew- elry cons'‘ets of a broad gold ring with a fine cluster of diamonds, Her hatr, which is still plentiful, is pure white, and is worn in a roll at the back, surmounted by an o.d fashioned broad comb. The ef- fect setrongiv with her pale fac brown Her dresses, feet and pounds; vigor are only set contrasts luminous eyos and always black, are simply made, Over her shoulders she wears a black silk shawl. “Her voice is soft and low—an excellent thing in woman.”’ She is a club member and a woman suffragist, but she is also a good housewife. Mrs. Allen is Honorary Vice-President of the Wednesday Club and of the Isabel Crow Kindergarten Association, Not a year has passed since the time she first lent aid to the St. Louis Art Society, 30 years ago, that Mrs. Allen’s influence in woman's work has not been felt in St. Louis club circles. In earliest years, when many of the pub- Itc school teachers came from other cities, she did much to make their lives enjoyable. She gave parties, to which these teachers and their friends were welcome. Mrs. Al- len’s ‘“‘Rose Garden parties,’’ given in the spacious garden adjoining her summer res- idence, 1410 East Grand avenue, have been the delight of school teachers and thair friends for 3 years. Last summer was the only season missed in all that time. Her home is 1410 East Grand evenue, but this winter Mrs. Allen resides with her daughter, Mrs. John C, Orrick, at 3817 Washington boulevard. When informed that a jury of women had pronounced her one of the two most re markable women in St. Louls Mrs. Allen exclaimed: “Why, it is absurd! They probably se- lected me on account of my age. They should have named Mrs. E. C. Sterling. She has done more for women’s clubs than I. “About 30 years ago Dr. Harris and I were neighbors. He had organized an art club for the study of famous paintings, Where the club would meet regularly was a question. I was much Interested in art, and as I had a large house, I offered my home as a meeting place. There the club met for several months, The name was changed to the. Dante Club, ‘and continued to meet at my house for several months. “But 1410 East Grand gvenue was then in the country and there were no street cars, It was finally decided that the club should meet alternately at the homes of the mem- bers. “I cannot say that I did much for the school teachers. I was interested in them, as I am in all women who are self-support- ing, and extended to them the haspitaelity of my house. That is all. “During the life of the Dante Club A. Bronson Alcott and Mrs. Julia Ward Howe came from Boston and lectured to the club at my home. We had some memorable meetings during those years. “The Shelley Club, out of which grew the Wednesday Club of to-day, met with Mrs. E. C. Sterling—never at my house—al- though I took as great an interest in that organization as I do in the Wednesday Club now. “Twenty-five or thirty years ago I was one of the few women who were interested in the higher education and emancipation of the sex. When Dr. Harris organized h's art club he naturally came to me for help. I could not do much, because I had my four children to care for and my home to look after. My husband died when my child was only 7 years of age. Only children—Mrs. Orrick and Mrs. Sturgeon—are living. oldest two of my Isane H. “IT was a.ways Suffragist Associ dent of it for property bills the Legislature.

This is a great law for Missouri, and was obtained only after years of hard work. “IT have not done club work during the last three or four years, not because I was not interested, but because I was not al- ways able. ‘Again, I must say that I think the la- dies were mistaken in selecting me.

HE entire area comprised in the Louisiana Purchase covers 883,072 square miles and contains 565,166,080 acres. This excludes the area west of the Rocky Mountains, and that east of the Mississippi counted a part of the Flor- ida cession. The original Louisiana con- tained approximately, 571,873,920 acres and covered 893,533 square miles. The area, as given in the Public Domain and General Land Office Reports, is 756,961,280 acres, or 1,182,752 aquare miles. This erroneously in- cludes the Oregon country, which became a part of the United States, not by the Louisiana Purchase, but by Its eniiteced by Americans. The Louisiana Territory properly em- braces the entire States of Arkansas, Mis- souri, lowa, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, parts of the States of Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Louisiana, all of the Indian Territory, and nart of Oklahoma Territory. The area is more than seven times that of Great Britain and Ireland; more than four times that of the German Empire, or the Austrian Empire or of France more than three times that of Spain and Portugal; more than seven times thie size of Italy, and twice that of Egypt; nearly ten times that of Turkey and a.so of Sweden that of larger France, combined.

De- eligner Herreshoff has been at work for sev- eral months, and it !s at last announced with some authority that the new plan has been conceived. The next American yacnt will be an improvement on the old defen- der, but will be in many respects a distinct departure from the type of flyers with which Herreshoff has routed challengers in the past. The yacht which is now being built at Bristol, R. 1. is to be lighter, stronger, faster and stiffer than the defender that Gefeated the Valkerie III. It will be two Midsection of the New Cup Defender. feet longer, and yet of the same displace- ment. Weight is to be saved in many places and put elsewhere in strength. Although the secrecy surrounding the construction of the boat prevents the pre- sentation of actual figures, it has become certain that the great idea of the designer is to get a great length on the water line and at the same time secure less body to carry through the water. According to the best information, a feasible idea of the kind Gesired has been found. It does not nec- essarily mark a new era in yacht building, but is far in advance of what the New York Yacht Club expected when the first cut- lines were drawn. With the bronze keel molds for the new defender sent to Bridgeport, Conn, and their actual dimensions found out, one vital DEFENDER. same expert, has stuck to what he believes is a good plan and has deemed it beset to build an improved defender rather than seek for something radical in yacht con-. struction. He is after a new -boat with greater power, both at short and long angles of heel, a bit flatter floor, conse- quently a larger floor to sail on. The wetted surface of the defender is about 2700 square feet and the area of the lateral plane ie 915 square feet. In the new boat the wetted surface will be 300 feet less, and at least 9) square feet have been taken from the lateral plane. There will be little difference in the dis-_ placement of the old and new boats. The new yacht will be just a little narrower across the deck and a hllge filled out a lit- tle over that on the defender. This Alling out gives in displacement about the amount that has been cut off in the reduction of the lateral plane. tons. With greater driving power in the shape | 4 of increased sail plan Designer Herreshof? | ‘ has in his new creation a yacht two feet | Practically and mathematically ali | improvements over the old defender | longer. the mean an advance in, the direction of in- creased epeed. He believes also that he will | better able to utilize | have a stiffer yacht, all her power. Even with the same gai] spread the new boat should sail faster than the one now built. The new boat will also be able, even with added sail, to carry it better. Not only has the coming defencer been improved in the above directions, but the changes will make her quicker in stays, with an advantage of several seconds as she swings in and off on the different tacks. The girth of the midship is about the same, though the area is elightly greater. Of the British built yachts in the shape of their lateral planes the Ailsa is more like the new defender than any other boat. Even she has three feet more beam. The bronze keel pilates which are being cast at Bridgeport are similar to those on the De- fender, with flanges |] ke breadpans to tie the heels to. A gain in weight is a'so made in her spars, which wil! help out the other parts of construction. How much faster the new boat will be than the old one only practical tests can tell. She should be better on all points of pie OH eS or" Sheer Plans of Defender and Boat (Latter in Dotted Lines). point in the make-up is known. The out- line,of the boat shows that, although the new defender is a few feet longer on the water line than the old boat, it will still have a less wetted surface, less lateral plane, with a better grip forward because of the shape of the keel, which is almost up and down at its forward edge. An Eastern expert believes that in the es- sentials of out-and-out racing the new boat has fess underbody to carry than the old one, and will consequently be faster than any thing e er floated under American col- ors. He believes the new defender will be a triumph for American yacht building, and that tae Shamrock wil) have to be Luilt on an entirely different plan if it excele on points. The construction cannot decide the race, and of course nothing is known of the plans for the Shamrock. Designed Herreshoff, according to the sailing. With the outs in rigging and con- struction remedied; she should be better on the water than any other defender of the America’s cup. She will have about 12.- 000 square feet in her working sails. The attempts made to conceal the prog- reseé on the new defender are greater than ever before. No one not connected with the Herreshoff works is allowed around and all consignments to the works are secure- ly boxed to baffle investigators. Much of the material comes by water and is landed directly from the boats to the buildings. While the general plans are known, the de- taille are safely guarded. Aside from the figures g.ven above there may be other changes, but it has been known for some time that Herreshoff is working on the im- provement plan and that it has been ap- proved by C. Oliver Iselin, for whom the boat is being built.

These rectangular spaces or wings are designated A A A A by the Gesigner. The squares are arranged in parame rows in alternate colors as in the Tt ie om te i oat and oblique lines with the wings. King row F and H are inside this and in the center is a goal which may be circular or decorated fancifully. The king rows are colored in tints differ- ing from the ordinary checker squares, but serve much the same purpose. The game runs up to ten points in the goal, the player who makes this number first win- ning. The rules of the game are those of ordinary checkers, the object being to cut down the enemy while advancing one’s men by the usual moves and jumps. A CHEMIST COLORS GASLIGHT.

My father was a machinist, and I followed him in the trade. Machinizts were just then hard at work making practical application of Watts’ discovery, that their was power in steam. Engines of the crudest patterns had already been made, and when I was 15 yeags old I was running a stationary en- gine. When I was 18 years old 1 went to work for George Stephenson. Stephenson was the engineer of the Stockton and Darlington Railroad and was applying all his inventive genius to the fashioning of some kind of an engine that would do the work of horses on the ‘rail- road. In 183 he had_= succeeded in building an engine which would pu:il. He tried it first on the dirt roads, and after- ward we put it on the railway and tried it. It worked ali right and in September of that year thirty-four of the little open then from Stockton to Darlington. I guess that was the funniest railroad train that ever ran. The engine was just a regul: stationary engine on wheels and pistons attached. It had a high stack, and Steph- enson stood up on the side of it ‘to guide it. We didn’t call him the engineer then. He was the driver. The term engineer was not used .gitil years afterward. “Out in front of the engine was a mount- ed herald. He went ahead to keep people off the track. The train started out all right and when it went puffing down the read the people, who were there in thousands, yelled and ran after the train just I'ke a lot of boys. We got up a speed-of 15 miles an hour that trip, and the trip was made with- out a wreck. I don’t suppose anybody ever saw anything that interested him more than that first railway train interested the people between Stockton and Darl-ngton. They wanted to see it so bad they could hardly keep at a safe distance from it, and a few days later one man stood and let it hit him. He was looking at it so hard he forgot to get out of the way. That first engine hauled a train weighing 8 tone. We had both passengers and freight. “The Darlington Railway was built to haul ore from the mines, but from the very introduction of the steam engine the people insisted upon riding, and the next month Stephenson put on a passenger train. He put me on as the engineer. I hauled one coach and made a round trip every day. The coach was named the Experiment, and it was bu:lt with a roof, the first car in England to have a roof. There was room for six people in the seats under the roof and seats for % more on the top. The fare was 1 shilling, and passengers were not permitted to carry more than 15 pounds of baggage. “The steam engine movement epread like wildfire. The next year Stephenson sent two engines to Scotland to run on the Monklands Railway, and the Canterbury and Whitstable lines were equipped with steam eng.ues that year The public did not fully realize the sign'ficance of steam power on the railways, though, until the Liverpool and Manchester Railway adopted steam engines in 1830. ‘In 1829 Robert Stephenson invented and constructed the first high-speed locomo- tive of the modern type, The Liv erpool and Manchester Rai:way Co. offered a prize that year for the best engine for its road, and Stephenson's engine, which he called the ‘Rocket,’ won the prize. The Rocket was considered a great engine in those days. Its steam sylinders were eight inches in diameter, with 16% inches of stroke, and the driving wheels were 4 feet 8% inches in dia.neter The engine weighed 4 tons and 500 pounds, the tender following it 3 tons and 400 pounds, and the two loaded car- riages drawn by it on the trial 9 tons and 1100 pounds. This made the weight drawn 12 tons and 1600 pounds, and the gross total 17 tons. The highest speed attained on the trial was 29 miles an hour, and we consid- ered that running away with things. “The New York Central train which cov- ered the 436 miles between New York City and Buffalo in — in 426 minutes, an aver- cara used Stephenson hauled a train of - ENGLAN THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVES.

The railroad train had grown big ard swift in the 69 years be- tween the trial runs of Stephenson’s little train and the New York Central Express. “When the news of Stephenson's success in making a high speed engine reached America there were immediate orders for some of the Stephenson engines. Steam en- gins had been made in America by several people before this, but they had not been the equal of Stephenson's locomotive in speed or hauling power. Peter Cooper had made a littie engine we'ghing but a single ton which had hauled a car ard some of his friends over 13 miles of track in 50 minutes, and e6team engines were in use in several places in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, where they were used for hauling-in the mines. In 1828 the South Carolina Rail- road was built and cars operated upon it in 1829 with steam engines, but they were not as large or as speedy as the Eng-ish eng: nes. “Inthe fall of 1829 Stephenson sold three of his engines to Americans and sent me to the United States with one of them ae the engineer. We came over in the ship Harold, Capt. Duff, of Baltimore, and named the engine the Harold. It Was an 8-ton engine, with five-foot drivers, and when it arrived it was the only English- made engine in America, as well as the largest and fastest engine here. They had built a little piece of track in Maryland for the new engine. The track ran from Balti- more out to Green Springs. It took us 6ome time to get things going. The track had too many crooks and kinks in it, and I had to straighten these out before I could run my train. There were several curves in the track, and the engine had been made without provision for sharp curves. While wondering what I could do to make my engine hold the track on the curves I hit upon the idea of the truck, and the trucks with which I equipped my engine at Baltimore in 1829 were the first ever made. If I had been shrewd I would have patented that truck and be rich to- day. . But I never thought of the value of my discovery. I was so overjoyed that I had solved the problem of getting locomo- tives around curves that I thought of little else but being happy. My work went on rapidly after that, and | was soon making the trips over the track and carrying pas- sengers to their great delight. This little piece of track afterward became the prop- erty of the Baltimore & Ohio, and they abandoned it but a few years ago. They still have the engine I brought over, and there are two others almost like it that came over about the same time, “I heard and saw many interesting things when the railroad business was young. I shall never forget the first en- gine Stephenson built for locomotion. It was a funny piece of machinery—enough to frighten a brave man, but it was a run- ner. He would take it out In the road and turn it on, and it would keep him busy keeping it in the middle of the street. I remember once an engine got away from one of the engineers and went cruising down the road. It frightened pe people badly and some of them actually ran from it. “There were very few people who be- lieved the steam locomotive would be a success. We had many distinguished men visit the engines in England, and many of them, even members of Parliament, ex- pressed the belief that the steam engine would never be a success. I remember, too, when first I came to the United States, I heard many men of prominence here say the steam engine could never be used to carry passengers to any great ex- tent. They all thought the tracks and the equipments would cost much money, and when it was proposed to build a line from Washington to New York by way of Baltimore I remember seeing an editorial in a Boston paper which ridiculed the idea. But, on the other Hand, there were people who had great faith in steam. They tad seen horses and even Sails tried without supplying what the people wanted, and steam promised more than anything they had seen. I never saw one of the sail cars. They were tried in the United States before I came. A sail track was built in Maryland, but it took too much wind to move the cars and the winds were too irregular. “One of the passengers on my first trip over the Baltimore Road was Andrew Jackson, who was President then. He came as a guest of the owners on the first trip. “I stayed in Baltimore three years, and came in 1832 to Louisville. I became in- terested in steamboating then, and bought a steamboat running up the Tennessee River. I was on all the rivers within the next few years. When Henry Clay made his speech-making trip down the Ohio and the Mississippi to New Orleans I was the enginecr of the boat he was on. We had six steamboats in the fleet and many states- men prominent in the United States at that time. “When the war broke out I was running a steamboat on the lower river. All my deck hands were siaves I had bought with my profits in the steamboat lost them all and went into the Confederacy as an engineer in the gunboat fleet on the lower river. I was made chief engineer of the boats between Vicksburg and New Orleans, and was in that service until the Federals destroyed our lower river fleet. We saved just one boat out of the wreck. It was a little steamer up in the Yazoo. When the boats fell into the hands of the Federals I went into the Confederate Army and served there through the Dal- ance of the war. “After the war I returned to the river, and I remained there until I was almost &% years old, when I retired and took charge of a stationary engine at Paducah, I nave been doing this ever since. I ran the engine at the Custom House there until recently, and came to 8t. Louls to eee if I could not find an engine.” Capt. Dawson is still, despite his years, a man of powerful physique, and he walks weH with a cane. He is slightly paisied with age, but his eyes are atill keen and his hearing good, and he is too proud to admit that he even feels ois 93 years. His wife and his three children are dead, and he says he is aione in the world. “I've ) lived too jong, te old fellow anya. ee ee ee too — —— like an electric locomotive wil) ever take the place of the steam locomo- tive now in use,’ Saye the master mechanic of the Central Hudson Raliroad. “The storage battery system has been made practical, and the trolley system hag too great disadvantages to permit of practical application.

Bal- loons were used, but they lacked stability, as did many of the kites which were experimented with. It was not until the Summer of this year that an apparatus was found to do the required work. It is a kite invented by one of the members of & scientific association of Vienna. The new Kite is constructed after the principle of @ division of planes and supplied with vertical and horizontal steering apparatus, The line is fastened to the kite in such a manner that the latter will always be placed in the most favorable position of incline. The first kite to be tried was eight by four meters and weighed about 16 pounds. F ly, though there was but a feeble wind of 2% meters a second. The kite sailed alott with a swish and could be let out the entire length of the line of 30 meters, The cord was manipulated by a windlass. At the trials fo carrying weight it was shown that it could safely carry about 75 pounds. The kite moved with great stability and carried the instruments without a jar. Trials with dynamite cartridges taken aloft and exploded proved successful and demonstrated that the kite ‘could be used for ‘‘weather shooting’ to produce rain. —_— — NIAGARA FALLS HARNESSED. sold, Niagara produces an income of §1,000,- N 000 per year.

November saw his end, a 30- caliber bullet, driven by high-powered pow- der from a rifle aimed by Charles F. Rior- dan, dropped him dead in the snow. Up in that part of New Brunswick where this king caribou roamed there is a vast unmeasured wilderness, draired by cele- brated salmon rivers, lichen-patched woods vocal to game vabes. This vast hunting regton is far removed from the habit&tion of man. Caribou and moose track the snows, signs of wild cat, bear and other fur-bearing animals are never lackirg. There are some few deer, but their numbers are limited to easy count. Why they do not multiply no one seems to know, but from the object lessons in Maine it would seem that deer prefer more civilized haunts. Caribou roam all over the Bald Mountain district, where there are miles upon miles of moss and scrub covered bar- rens. Bald Mountain itself is 2700 feet above the gulf of St. Lawrence. It is the loftiest land in New Brunswick. and is a part of the Appalachian system which traverses the province from the State of Maine. Nov. 4, 1898. Mr. Riordan told some friends that he was going to New Brunswick to get a shot at this celebrated animal. Two months previous he had engaged one of the very best guides in the province, Arthur Pringle of Stanley, a village off the line of the Canada Eastern Railway. The number 13 appeared conspicuously during the three-weeks’ hunt, and the om!- . nove hand of an unlucky day also shook a finger, for it was on Friday that Mr. Rior- dan left Roston. His train awaited him on track 13, and on the 18th day of November, the day of the king’s death, there was a snowfall of 13 inches. There were also 13 caribou in the herd. That day Mr. Rior- dan had 13 cartridges left to complete his hunt. Later in the day he made the dis- covery that the big bull caribou had three times 13 points. Thirteen once more ap- peared waen the pictures taken on the trip Were developed. The camera was snapped 18 times, but only 13 pictures were good. Cross Creek station is a small eettiement on the Canada Eastern, a little over % miles from Fredericton Junction. Here Mr, Riordan met Pringle, the guide. accompa- nied by Sir Thomas, a cook. The train pro- ceeded on to New Castle, where a man with two horses and a stout double seated Wagon met the party and started at once on an 18-mile drive to Johnny Ways. The mext day a drive of 22 miles landed the party at Camp Allison, Here a dugout was secured, and while’ Pringle and the cook Were poling the fabric to Camp Crawford, Mr. Riogdan explored the woods. The par- ty Was not yet far enough in the woode to suit the guide, so it was decided to pack everything along to Camp Walte, near Baid Mountain. Plenty caribou signs were seen as 600n as Cainp Waite was made. but noth- ing came of the first day’s hunt. About two miles northwest of Camp Waite signs Were seen early in the morning of the sec. ond day. Mr. Riordan and his guide ha: arrived at the very fountain head of the Northwest Miramichi, at a place where they could Jump across. Pringle had just parted a bunch of aldera that obscured he saw decidedly fresh of signs. “Guess there are two bunches of ‘em."’ Suggested Mr. Riordan, after looking at the trail. “No, only one,” said Pringle, “and, mark om me, they are not far away.” ' AM around this part of the barrens the : u r ea was rolling in character, The two muptook the trail with the wind just “Tt’s a case of creep,'’ said Mr. Rior- dan, dropping into the snow and striking off, hands and knees, for a lone tree W yards away. “Nothing else,’’ “and we'd better and packs here.” Two undergized pines were cut, and with these held in front of them the two men moved cautiously in the direction of the herd. The king was soon identified, his antlers looming above the small for- est of horns on the ofher animals like an original pine in a second growth. Per- haps half a mile had been covered with the little pines as shields, when the king threw up his head and looked long and earnestly in their direction. “S’pose he us?’ asked dan, “Dunno,” reply. camera Pringle’s the ax, was leave sees Mr. Rior- said Pringle; “he’s a sly old buck, and he seems to be suspicious all the time. We'd better lie still for a bit.” A wait of five minutes saw the king feed- ing again. There was several other bulls in the herd, and once in a while when they became playful as caribou do, the old king would rush in and put a stop to the levity. The hunters had crept up to within alf a mile when an absence of any kind of cover compelled them to await a movement on the part of the herd. They had left the scrub pines sticking in the snow some dis- tance behind, fearing to excite suspicion by carrying them fufther. The old bul] had eyed them altogether too critically. Fring ng the top of a@ ridge near where the herd was feeding was a growth of ever- greens. Three young bulls were headed in the direction of this growth kicking up the snow in quest of moss. Most of the herd followed. Finally all but the king had passed through the growth and out on the wide barrens on the opposite side. The while of good size, | . A. : ‘~~ = Col.

The rest of the herd had passed out of sight over the second ridge. Three more shots were fire® and down went the king with shattered shoulder and twained heart. “What do you think of the small bore?” asked Mr. Riordan. “Well enough, if you hold it right,’ was the reply, “but a big gun would have shocked him down at the first touch.” “Perhaps,’’ said Mr. Riordan, “but if I'm not mistaken it would have taken somo time to ‘find’ him with the gunsghat don't ‘hold up.’ That's 200 yards if it's an inch.” Pringle doubted the distance, but after stretching off 270 paces to the dead bull, he began, for the first time, to take a lively interest in the American small bore.

It is not the heat alone that the miner or the prospector has t6 contend with. There are more venomous reptiles to the square foot there than in any place on earth, not excepting India. True, there is nothing so poisonous as the cobra, but average up the rattlesnakes, tarantulas, seorpionse, centi- pedes and Gila monsters and Arizona would take the prize. There are localities where it is unsafe to travel by day. Yet fatal cases Of snake bite are comparatively rare, although it ig common for people to be* bitten by rattlers, tarantulas or centipedes, The condition of the blood has much to do with it, and if remedies are administered promptly death seldom results. There are severa] varieties of the rattler, but’ the one most feared ig the little horned variety, which lies in crevices or ruta on the trail, and strikes before its presence is known. These are smaller than the regular diamond backs, and cannot strike so high, but, as miners wear high leather boots, the fangs do not penetrate. Low shoes are not fashionable in these regions. The big fellows, from three to eight feet long, are terrible to meet, and when a nest of them is encountered an exciting confiict is sure to take place. They are also more fearless and aggressive at such times. When met singly they will try to escape, except when cornered, when they fight viciously. The worst enemies of the rattlers are the greasers. They have no fear of them, and always carry a forked stick or staff, and when they come upon a rattler will dex- terously put the fork over its head and seize it by the tail, giving a vigor- ous snap like a whiplash, which breaks the ‘‘varmint’s’’ neck. The greasers do a good trade in snake oll, which has a repu- tation as a cure for rheumatic complaints. They also skin them, and the skins, when tanned, are made into pocketbooks, fancy belts, etc. The fangs and rattles, if large, are preserved as trophies. An exciting contest with a nest of rattlers took place last summer in the mountains near the mining town of Jerome. A party of prospectors being about to start out, I asked to be allowed to accompany them. As a rule tenderfeet are looked upon as Jonahs, and sure to bea burden, if not positively dangerous to success. The party consisted of eight, whom were greasers. One, a fine, bold looking fellow named Reyés, was detailed to look after me. He liked whisky, but loved tobacco; and so I laid in a good stock among my supplies. Our bronchos were loaded and we started -from the mining camp at dawn in order to get into the mountains before the sun became too hot. The trai] was followed until noon, when the foot hills were reached and a favorable spot for camping selected. The rest of the day was devoted to eating, resting, drink- ing and smoking. There were signs on every hand of copper, one find carrying a small amount of gold and silver; but noth- ing approaching a strike. Three days more of hard¥travel brought us to a spot where eternal wilderness seemed to have reached its limit. Here the permanent camp was settled upon, and the prospectors went out three of by twos In different directions in search of outside croppings which promised a rich find below. The party was in the pay of an English company and well supplied with everything. I was assigned to the care of John Miller and Marino Reyes. Miller has been a miner for 4 years and the discoverer of many valuable mines, but, like that class ef good and careleas fellows, would never save a dollar on a million a month. Reyes was a Mexican by birth, but brought up in Arizona. Unlike the breed generally, he was honest, brave and faithful. He would as soon snap off the head of.a rattler as crack a whip, and he could catch a taran- tula with his horny hands without the claimed, ‘Rattlers!’ and grasped his staff more firmly. We soon detected that pecu- liar sickening odor, resembling decaying cucumbers, which characterizes this snake. We were not long kept in suspense, {er a dozen rattlers were soon sounding, and we found ourselves in the midst of a rattlers’ retreat. There was no backdown for us, and fight it out we must, for by this time they were in our rear. They appeared to be led by & monster eight feet long.

R ALTER VROOMAN, who ie asso- ciated with C. A. Bairds in the es- tablishment of Ruskin Hall, a echool of economics for labor leaders at Oxford, England, is well known in 8st. Louis. The announcement* that Vrooman, an American, has invaded England, of all countries, to establish a school of econ- omics, is in no wise surprising to the peo- ple of St. Louls who know Vrooman, for to know him is to know that he is a man of unusual motives and moods. Vrooman is a native of Missouri, a grafi- vate of Harvard, an ordained minister in the Methodist Church and a departure from all that is characteristic of men. There 1s just one man like him in the whole wide world—and that man is Walter Vrooman. He is a man of tireless energies and innu- merable activities. He does not preach in the pulpit. He does not believe the peo- ple who hear sermons from the pulpit are the people who need them. He believes his life duty is to do something to uplift humankind, and it can be truly sald of him by his friends and foes alike that he is hewing close to this line, letting the chips fly where they will. For Vrooman, by the téstimony of all who know him, Is a man without physical fear. He is a giant in stature, standing an inch over six feet; has a boyish, Intelligent face; is impulsive by nature; is restless as a caged lion and paces the floor when he talks; is abso- lutely without reserve in anything he de- cides to do; does what he does with his whole heart and soul, and {is never discour- aged—never distraught in his good-natured and various, reasonable and unreasonable belief that some day he will accomplish something splendid for the weal of his fellows. The men who do not think Vroo- man a crank are in the proportion of one or two to a hundred to those who do. Vrooman has been an agitator and re- former ever since he graduated from Har- vard 10 years ago. He was seriously handi- capped at first by lack of funds, but he married some years ago at Baltimore a lady who is not only in closest sympathy with his work, but who has properties from which Vrooman has an income of almost $20,000 a year. Vrooman came into prominence in 8t, Louis during the municipal campaign in which Ziegenhein was elected Mayor. He was in Baltimore when the campaign opened. One day he walked into the office of Lee Meriwether, one of the mayoralty candidates, and said: . “Mr. Meriwether, I'm Walter Vrooman. I've just come in from Baltimore to assist you in your campaign. I like your style, and I'm going to do what I can to make you Mayor of St, Louls,”’ That was. Lee Meriwether’s personal in- troduction to Walter Vrooman, with whom he has since maintained an intimate friend- ship. Mr. Meriwether Whew Vrooman was going to Oxford, but he had not been told of the plan to establish Ruskin Hall. Vrooman merely told him he was going to Oxford and would be back in the spring, Scorried in St. Louis He Has Gone to Oxford to Teach the Enofish. : 4 1 . , Poes Ct Th as . se _ eee eee and Mr. Meriwether knew Walter Vrooman well enough to know that he was going to England upon some scheme of reform, for reform is the theme which fills Vrooman’s thoughts to the exclusion of all else by day and of which are his dreams at night. Vrooman and his associates have leased Steebs House, a mansion built in 1649, near Christian College, and it will be opened Washington’s Birthday with a meeting at Oxford town hall. The hall will accommo- date 40 men who will do their own house- work for their board. Fifty gratuitous tui- tions will be issued the first two years, and the entire expense of other students for board, tuition and lodging will be $5 per week. The organizers say the school 1s established to educate at little cost men who desire to be vestrymen, county coun- cilors, members of Parliament. trade union- ists, club organizers and street speakei s. The funds for the institution are provided by American friends of John Ruskin, the painter and author, A FRIEND’S TRIBUTE, By Lee Meriwether. WOULD not be 80 sacrilegious as to compare any man, living or dead, with the Man of Galilee; but if, in these days of self-seeking and selfishness) there are any men who honestly and earnestly seek to walk in the footsteps of Christ, conspicuous among those men is Walter Vrooman. As young as he is—he is not yet 20—he has spent more than 10 years in propa- gating the great principles and reforms which he believes necessary for the up- lifting and bettering of humanity. Of his income, which Is from $15,000 to $18,000 a year, he has set aside each year the sum of $10,000 for the exclusive purpose of charities and social and political reforms. When you know how little the element of personal gain or advancement enters into this giving away of an almost prince- ly you for the first time begin to perceive that Walter Vrooman is no ordinary character. Here is a man with wealth sufficient to keep him and his, no matter should he live a thousand years. If he cared he might spend his winters an the Riviera, his summers at the seashore, and in the springtime might shave his carriage and horses and liveried servants and live with the swell set in St. Louis, New York or Washington. How many men are there who are able, by the mere stroke of the pen, to have these things, yet refuse to take them? There may be more of such men than I think, but I know of only one—and that {s Walter Vrooman. Few men are more misunderstood or more unjustly assailed. Once, after an unusually vicious and false assault upon his work and motives, I said: “Vrooman, you are not understood. The very people you strive to uplift suspect and mistrust you. Why don't you go to EKurope—to Japan—travel—see the world— buy a cottage by the sea? Why don’t you use your fortune to take it easy, enjoy life and have a good time?” “That's what I am doing, only my idea of a good time is to secure the adoption of the principles which I belleve must be adopted to preserve and perpetuate free institutions.’’ Such was his reply; and even though you may not believe in his principles, when income.

Drawn From Life in St. Louis. WALTER VROOMAN. you know the man you have absolute faith in his sincerity. When he announced his candidacy for Congress the politicians paid: “Ah, I told you so. He's like the rest of us—after an office.” In a certain Missouri district not many years ago a wealthy man who wanted to &°O to Congress went to the bosses of the Congressional Committee, told them of his ambition, gave them a check for the de- sired amount, and then departed for the seashore, where, he said, they might wire him when he was nominated. How easy it all was! No work, no Worry, no ene- mies; and the nomination and election fell into this rich man’s lap like a ripe pear from a tree. In another Missouri district the nomination once came to a man who had never taken any part in public life, who knew nothing of politics, who could not make a speech, even though it were to save him from hanging, but whose bank account was large enough to buy what he wanted. Were Walter Vrooman merely ambitious he could easily imitate these examples by handing a big check to the machine bosses and taking it easy at the seashore until] notified by wire of his nomination, But personal success is the thing most re- mote from his calculations; to solve the problem of the just distribution of wealth; to prevent unequal .taxation; to put an end to the granting of special privileges; to curb the aggressions of powerful corpo- rations, of syndicates and trusts; to lift up the masses and make all men free and sturdy and independent—with Vrooman these things are a religion. To obtain them he preaches and spends a fortune. If elected to Congress or to any other posi- tion where he could carry out a part of his programme for reform, well and good; but not for the Presidency itself would he suppress his sentiments or make one soli- tary concession to the powerful but selfish elements which oppose him. I heard him preach in the St. Louls fall to 300 prisoners. He seemed as one in- epired. The very falfguards listened breathlessly to his burning words about the Lord’s prayer and true Christianity. He told these poor prisoners that Christ had loved all men, and that the first step in Qhristliness was not only to love Christ, but to do what he had done—love all men; be thy neighbor’s brother, and be not content with uplifting thyself alone, but also lift up thy brother and thy neighbor’s neighbor. In short, the aim of a true Christian, like the aim of Christ, should be to lift up all humanity. And assuredly no one who knows how Iittle of his large fortune is spent on personal pleasures will deny that Mr. Vrooman practices what he preaches, Mr. Vrooman is impulsive. Often he makes errors of judgment. His boldness, aggressiveness and vigor in opposing en- trenched special privileges have caused him to be singled out asa target by critics, Sometimes friends of mine whose opinions are based upon Lies and slander have asked me why I do not repudiate the man of fiery ordeal and anarchistic fame. To all such friends I have always been glad to say that such slanders are not enough to create one disloyal thought in my mind toward a man whose every deed, every speech and every writing, thus far at least, evidence a character which, for un- selfishness and sincerity of purpose, is seldom equaled and never surpassed. These are strong words to say of any living man; but in soberness of thought, in full knowledge of his character, I do not hesitate to say them of Walter Vrooman. I have never known another man like Mr. Vrooman. There is no understood standard from which I would judge him. > gate ta ’ a ‘ Dab a's Ns aa p - 54 BA . 5 a a SL he 4 he A, ee RS ay Ser te The Man as His Friend Lee Mer 43 a psx ies ge OS a-\ ee ree es aie " ee ee nea! era oe 0 ee Es inn is ‘7 a ae yet oe ; J ‘ey ‘ ‘ : * a r+ Ps a, sass hs a we e x ae “a ‘ ; . &, te el cae . ma ss wads: 9 teal > oF a te ‘Seay bt” ano eS PO sox Peed ae + eR pee wee ape Pe ee Sy eee e a it ie eR aes i ge . ” ve > ’ > oo > Pag ; aie) ee ee. ire : “ ¥ ‘i “ z ; eee ; e a 7 + a ike) 4. = oh _ tat * pi 7 ; —_— 7 He is unique among men. He ts the one . man | have known who is adsolutely Gm — ; selfish, He is the one man I have naan ee who is entirely forgetful and careless of self. He preaches and practices altruism, He believes he can do something for the betterment of mankind, and to this he devotes his time, his thoughts and his wealth. I have known him to aive dol- lars to some one with a charity or re- form scheme and then buy a miserable little lunch with the last dime in his pockets. He forgets to put his cravat on as often as he thinks of tt. He simply is not thinking of these little things, His thoughts are centered upon this desire to better society, and he thinks of this te the exclusion of all else. He lives frugally and without servants. He dresses care- lessly and with little expense. He enjoys no personal luxuries. When he came from Baltimore to assist me with my campaign he was almost a stranger to me except that I had heard him speak. Since then I have seen much of him and learned to understand and ap- preciate him. Ordinarily men regard him es a crank. In the common acceptance of the term he is a crank, for he lacks equipoise of judgment in many things and is too impulsive. But his motives are pure and good. He seeks to apply Christianity to every-day social, political and com- mercia| life, and naturally he belongs to, in the eyes of the world, that classi. fication of cranks in which Christ was the chief and Tolstol and men of his reforming | tendencies have followed. When he was locked up in the St. Louls jail I urged him to consent to be released on bond. He said: “I will stay here tn jail until I am tired. Perhaps it wil] set the people to ; thinking.” Mr. Vrooman ifs a genius, and his lot is - characteristically that of a genius. I have seen some of his writings that were grand. I have heard him speak when he was eloquent to the extent of hypnotising his audience, I saw him move an audience at the Music Hall as I had never seen an audience moved, He is, I believe, 30 years of. age. He was born in Macon County, Mo., and is one of seven sons of Judge Vrooman. He comes of a remarkable family. They have been orators and reformers through many generations. Almost every one of the /seven-sons, I believe, is an orator. Al- most every one of them, including Walter, ~~ is a’ minister.

He raised some $30,000 for a reform movement in Baltimore, and: he was a powerful factor in the fight which secured for the close-tenement districts of New York City the little parks—the lungs through which the thousands of people there might breathe a better air. Before he left St. Louls he had some thought of establishing here an institution on the Hull House plan.

ROCKEFELLER, who made $8,300,000 through a sudden apprecia- 4 tion of some stocks he held, Friday, Jan. 18, and who is probably the richest man in the world, spent his boyhood in a little house about three miles from Owego, N. Y. When he was seven years old his father moved from a small farm of ninety acres near Owasso Lake, just north of Moravia. He was a poor farmer, this elder Rockefeller. He was rarely at home, and a hired man did all the work of the farm. Everybody liked ‘his wife, who, as Miss Da‘idson, had been popular, but few of his neighbors had acquaintance with Rock- efeller,. He was a great mystery of the ‘country-side. The gossip of him may be heaml to this day in Owego. Returning home only at infrequent intervals, his own children knew him not as well as they knew many another man in the neighbor- hood. John D. Rockefeller grew up like the country boys he played with. He was like his mother, and he learned his thrift from her. The house he lived in Was one of the humblest in that neighborhood. It etands now exactly as when the young Rockefellers used to tumble down the steep back stairway or clamber over the low roof, a story and a half building painted brown, with no porch and no wings, and almost too small to furnish elbow room for a family of six. The upper chamber, which the boys occupied, was a low room, with a Sloping side, and even — trie sing 15 John Rockefeller must e bumped his hea See kon ny Ra d if he jumped out of But though the cottage was small it had ® pleasant location, The land in front sloped gracefully to the smooth waters of the Susugehanna. Hiawatha Island is in the middle of the river at this point, and it is an ideal situation for swimming, coasting, skating and all the healthy out- door occupations in which boys delight. The young Rockefellers grew up among these surroundings, under the guidance of Welr mother. She was an invalid when the family went to Owego, and for several years afterward was unable to go outside the house. But she was a woman of strong character and ambitious for her boys. She kept them in school and taught them to be industrious and saving. Their ~oese: @t the family woodpile and in the Sarden were not many, but the mother saw to it that each boy’s work was regularly performed. She ruled them with a stern but kindly hand. If one of them disobeyed her he felt the sting of a birch whip. One of the brothers—there were three of them, John, William end Frank—was sent out for the rod while the culprit stood by her chair. But though their mother was severe, ehe was as kind and helpful as a mother could be and they all grew with the grea ; 5 aie ao: for her . = wes _ "suaz’] JOHN D.

He supported the family, paid the rent of the ‘ttle cottage regularly and when he re- turned from his trips was well supplied with money. He was a pleasant but taci- turn man, who shared no confidences. None of the neighbors knew wh: t his oo- cupation was, nor did hie own fdmily, ex- cept perhaps the mother. There was a mystery about his long absences and his reticence on the oceasion of his infrequent visits home that caused the people of Owe- go to ehake thelr heads. Some of them said that Mr. Rockefellor must be in a queer business since he did not care to make known what it was. But there was nothing more than gossip to give color to any of their stories. Although the mystery regarding the head of the family caueed some of the older peo- ple to look askance at the Rockefellers, this did not trouble the boys, There are a number of men in Owego now who went to the district school with the Rockefeller brothers, These men agree in describing the three as good boys, fairly popular, but in mo way remarkable. They did not stand at the head of their classes nor were they leaders umong the boys of the echool. William was the most popular among his playmates and with the older men who knew the brothers. He was brighter, quicker and more enthusiastic in work or play than John. One of the farmers, for whom the young Rockefellers occasiopally worked on Satur- aids — s - —— - “i oe oe a . ~, “We always looked on Willlam Rockefel- ler as smarter than John, and liked him better, too. If Will had a piece of work to do he'd pitch right in and get through it as quick as he could, but John would sit down and spend half the time figuring out the easiest way before he began. We al- Ways thought he was a little too lazy to make much of a farmer. “I don't know that it was exactly lazi- ness either. When he tackled a thing he al- ways stuck to it until it was finished. It ‘Was more a case of counting the chickens before they hatched with him. We reck- oned if he was to be a farmer he'd spend 80 much time figuring up his yield of wheat that the season would pass before he got it sowed.” | John D. Rockefeller was slow but sure. He never went into a thing until he could see the end of it. Then he worked for that end, steadily and with persistency, un- til it was accomplished. Years later he said to one who knew him well: “It always has been my rule in busi- ness to make everything count something. I never go into an enterprise unless I fee] sure that ft is coming out right. For in- stance, @ promising scheme may be pro- posed to me. It don't altogether satisfy me and I reject it. My brother, Will, would probably go into it and make $10.00. An. other equally promising scheme comes along. 3 { | i a , ; BREDA: Joun Di !™ fellow has made and lost twice that amount. But mine counts and his doesn’t. I believe that the only way to succeed is to keep getting ahead all the time.” The Rockefellers were poor; not poor with the poverty of the city tenements—they had enough to eat and clothes to wear—but there were few luxuries in their little home. The boys were giad to do a day’s work for one of the neighboring farmers when they got the opportunity. For this they re- ceived the prevailing pay for boy labor— 2% cents a day. At present Mr. Rockefeller’s income is not less than $20,000 per day. Although the young Rockefellers could not have felt the pinch of poverty seriously, they were in poorer circumstances than most of their boy friends, whose fathers owned and tilled thelr own farms. John Rockefeller was proud and sensitive He felt the difference, although he took no outward notice of !t. Even at that time he practiced the habit, which he still keeps up, of doing much thinking and little talk- ing. Once as he was walking along the river with a young friend they fell to talking over the future. “What do you want to do when you are grown up?” asked John. The other boy looked around him: “i want to own all the land from the corner up there down to the schoolhouse,” said he, pointing along the hillside. “Oherlie,”’ said John myst@tiousiy, “do you know what t wastT!, And then be ee te ’ a a.

And I'm going to be, too— some day.” At another time young Rockefeller de- clared ‘his intention of becoming a grocer, and when he was ready to set out in life for himself he embarked in the ware- housing and produce commission business As soon as John and William had fin- ished with the district echool they began to attend Oswego Academy. It was three miles from their house to the town, but they walked back and forth every day through all kinds of weather. They had little to do with the other boys and had no intimate friends. They lived too far away to mix much with the town boys, even if they had been so disposed. After the boys had been two years in the village school their father euddenly de- cided to remove to Cleveland, O. The boys said good-by to their few country friends and that was the last Owego saw or heard of them until John D. Rockefeller’s name came to be on every tongue as the petro- leum king. After thelr removal to Cleveland the Rockefeller boys spent one year in a busl- ness college there, and then John D. carried out his cherished design to enter busine The firm of Rockefeller & Hewitt ro career which is without parallel. From the beginning he acted on the principle which he had enunciated of making every- thing count. To an old acquaintance who called on him and admired the neat con- dition of his stock he pointed out a num- ber of barrels of beans. “Every one of those beans,” he said. “I picked over by ‘hand myself. We got them cheap because there were a good many black ones among them. I have put in my spare time, day and night, for the past few weeks, sorting them over. Now they are extra quality and we shall sel] them at an extra price.” Picture the future billionaire seated in tne dark garret of his warehouse sorting over beans by the hour! Everything count- ed in those days. Presently the money be- gan to count up. In the four or five years he was engaged in the warehousing bust- ness Rockefeller made between $6000 and $10,000 clear. More important than that, he made a reputation for business sagacity and hardheartedness among the business men of the city, which gave him excellent credit. Many stories have been told as to how Rockefeller came to go into the oli busl- ness. The truth of the matter is that he became interested in of] just when thou- sands of others did, at the outbreak of the Pennsylvania oll excitement.

In fact, the business men of Cleveland had told him that if te was satisfied to put in $75,000 on his own eccount they would furnish the balance of the $400,000 necessary to buy the lot. The young warehouseman had already made & reputation for keen judgment and busi- ness sagacity.

By Dr. A. M. Fullerton. HAT to feed the baby, when to feed it W and how much, is a question of ever- present interest to young mothers. Infancy is a term comprising the time between birth and lasting until the first teeth appear. The best food for the baby during this period is the natural food supplied by the mother. Human milk should have @ specific gravity of 1020-1034, It is slightly alkaline in reaction and contains the following ingredients: Water 96 0660006b8Sb0600006 64a parts Total SOLUS ..ccccccccvcsseeceesssla-12 parts PAE iccccreessteves OOP Ce Pec oeccesees J-4 parts Albumincoids It differs from cow's milk tIn having a higher specific gravity, more sOlilds, less water and one- fifth the amount of album'noids. When a baby seems to suffer from indigestion, because of the mother’s milk being too rich for it, one or two teaspoonfuls of water administered before each meal will correct the error. Babies should be fed but onee in two hours during the day and every three hours during the night. An interval is necessary between the feeding in order that the stomach may rest. The habit some mothers have of letting babies nurse whenever thew cry serves simply to produce indigestion. A definite rule as to the quantity of food required by an infant at one time has been formulated 4 Dr. Ssnitkin of St. Petersburg, thus: One one-hundredth of the baby’s weight should be taken as the figure with which to begin the computation, and to this ehould be added one gram for each day of life. A new-born baby’s stomach holds about one and one-half ounces. However, the child’s appetite, if the infant is healthy and well-trained, is a good gauge for its meals. Should a baby dis- gorge its milk, if the liquid is uncurdled, it Is probably an indication that it has taken too much into its stomach. This overflow is easily jnduced, because of the position of the baby’s stomach, which, in the infant, is more nearly vertical than in the adult. If a baby does not seem to grow fat upon its natural diet, on ac- count of the lack of sufficient richness in the mother’s milk, the use of from one to five drops of codliver oil. three times daily, has been found to be a valuable supplement, Artificial feeding of infants, while becoming more common, is never so productive of good re- sults as is nature's method. DON’TS FOR THE NURSERY. [) os use a common pin in the nureery. The safety-pin or none for all nursery folk— babies, mother, nurse or maid. Don't powder baby after the bath. Gently pat him dry with linen. Powder is permissible only to soothe or cool baby temporarily, for accidents or emer- gencies, and to be carefully washed off at next bathing. Don't talk while nursing or feeding baby, unlesé very gently and quietly to haby himself. Bear in mind that we appear elephantine, gigantic to baby and that our tongue seems shocking jargon to it for a long time. Don't give household directions in nor permit complaints to be brought into the nursery, for children, especially our very little ones, are our guests of honor, having neither escape nor redress, They may only depart with death. Don't leave soap on baby’s skin nor in his cloth- ing. Baby may not at will or necessity change valet or laundry, and if one chafe, what more natural? Clean water and clean cheese cloth to rinse baby with are not costly. Don’t use damp or steamy articles of clothing about baby’s body. The lower orders Keep thei young both dry and {mmaculate, If baby could get his back up like a cat or roach his clothing as a bird does its feathers, dampness would not cut off ventilation, and ventilation is absolutely necessary for baby’s well being. Don't epeak loudly to baby. There is nothing created so tender as a baby, and the reverbera- tions against baby’s ear drum- must seem dyna- mitic and monstrous. Don't trot baby for every discontent if he wor- ries. Fancy being sent to sea in a storm for every discomfort! A goose saved Rome, and a few other cities, mauybe—but a goose never jounces its offspring. Neither do savages. Savages and wild things in- terpose their bodies and the cushions of their feet between thelr young and every possible jar. Don't roll a baby prone in a carriage, bumping over car tracks, etc. Always lift the wheels over every eminence, and hold. baby in the arms until he can sit alone, Don’t ‘‘don’t’’ to children. A child whose brain is a blank has a right to a positive, instead of a negative, training. Teach him good before evil, ‘“‘ves’’ before ‘‘no.”” To take a god from an idolater and give him no god in its place is crud- est iconoclasm. ‘Mother is baby’s god until she teaches him to know her own. A headshake may overturn his very little heaven. INFANTS’ FOOD. éé N O chemical product can replace the food nature furnishes the new-born babe,” says Dr. Meyer J. Lippe. “Some infants do not thrive because every time they cry—and ering, to a certain extent, is essential to the healthy development of the lungs—they are put to the breast, and their little stomachs are kept at work almost continuously, without the neces- sary intervals of rest. The intervals between each successive feeding should vary from one to three hours, according to the age of the child. “The chid should never be allowed to sleep in the same bed with the mother, and after the fifth month should not be nursed after 10 p. m. until the next morning. The infant should s:-ep several hours in the day in addition to its night’s rest. “At times mother’s milk does not nourish a child sufficiently, which fact is manifested b crying and restlessness and, most marked of all, by a stationary weight, if not an actual loss, The desire of some young mothers to preserve their forms and re-enter the social swim leads them to wean their babies too soon, to the detri- ment of the child's health—frequently to the loss of its life. “At times it becomes necessary to feed infants artificially. This is best done by the modification of cows’ milk, according to the age of the child and the condition of its digestive organs, and the season of the year. Thorough cleanliness of rub. ber attachments (never using a tube in a bottle) by the use of soap and brush, and by boiling in a weak soda solution should be secure. “It is great folly to feed infants potatoes, bread, meat, etc., as the organg necessary for their digestion are not developed. e popular idea that the baby is a little man is fallacious. The salivary glands the secretions of which convert starches into sugar, do not appear at all before the third month, and are not developed fully un- til between the sixth and eighth months. Like- wise the pancreas is very feeble before that time. “Adults, in whom the digestive organs are fully developed, find it necessary to divide solid food finely by the use of their 82 teeth. The fool- liardiness, therefore, of giving such food to in- fants in whom the first tooth of the temporary eet does not appear before the sixth month, is apparent. “Another thing for mothers to remember is that @ fat baby is not necessarily a healthy one.”’ CATARRH SNUFF. & ATARRH of the head is one of the most intractable of all complaints, and snuffs are rarely of any benefit, though they fre- quently afford temporary relief.

Presented ta the Section on Physiology and Dietetics at the Forty-ninth Annual Meeting of the American Medical Association at Denver, Colo., by A. T. Cuzner, M. D., Gilmore, Fla. TUBERCULOSIS In some form or an- T other may fairly be considered the almost universal disease of man. Schlenker made 100 consecutive post-mor- tems on adults and children. He carefully exam'ned every part of their bodies and found 6 per cent tuberculous. In over 4000 successive post-mortems made in Breslau in 1893, one-third of the bodies contained gross tuberculous lesions. If the microscope had been used probably enough lesions could have been discovered to make 2500 infec- tions. Babes found lesions of the bronchial glands in more than one-half of his post- mortems on children. Biggs could demon- strate characteristic lesions in the lungs alone in 60 per cent of his post-mortems. Grawitz found pr'mary tuberculous deposits in lungs of 182 out of 221 cases, being nearly 70 per cent ef all infections. Loomis found the bronchial glands infective to rabbits in eight out of thirty bodies apparently free from tuberculosis during life. Upon examination of the death records of 13 prisons located in different parts of o>ooo-o- — a oo the country, we find the deaths from tuDer- culosis to be 59.9 per cent. Doubtless tuber- , Sg in the 40.1 oe culous depos‘ts could be per cent remaining. * P4046 o 0 O-o o> ep My. * ~~ O* Oe >OO-OO-O-O>-O- A . A * Y I do not think microbes de- serve the ill repute in which they are held. When the human organism is diseased mi- crobes are found to be much more abun- dant, the dead matter to be changed and eliminated requiring much more work on their part. L'ke the buzzard, they are al- ways ready to remove dead and offensive animal tissues. They also act as media of disease, just as files do. They have like- wise the power to impose upon the cell a certain amount of force that tends to pro- duce a condition most favorable to their dis'ntegrating work. Dr. T. D. Crothers, in an article on “‘In- ebriety and Tuberculosis,’ says: ‘Alcohol acts on the body psychologically, phys:o.o- gically and gs eon nr penah and is literal paralysis and dissolution. No other sub- stance known, in common use, has such profound destructive action on waste and repair of the body. This opens the door for many diseases by destroying the power of resistance and enfeebling all the powers of life.” Speaking of inebriates, he fur- ther says: “In my experience with 2000 cases, fully 20 per cent’ are associated with tuberculosis.” * * * “The use of alcohol results in deranged functions and disturbed energies The two central processes of life —waste and repair—are affected, the first increased and the last diminished.”’ It is very important that tuberculous pa- tients should have an abundant supply of pure water. Water being a universal sol- vent of organic material, it is therefore very necessary that no filtration from closets or cesspools be allowed to contami- nate the source of supply. I prefer and instruct my patients to drink large quan- tities of hot water, as I believe this pro- motes excretion of deleterious substances the disease. . A > ~ 0-4 Ww BACCILLI OF TUBERCULOSIS Bacteria microbes, schizomycetous fungl, are minute vegetable organisms causing the different known fermentations, and found associated with certain, diseases, of which they are considered by“amany to be the cause. aes ‘Bacteria in shape show three ok ea” bacillus, pencil or rod; coCcus),, all, and spirillum, a corkscrew.” ‘T@bérele bacilli are in length one-haif to one-third the diameter of a red-blood corpuscle, and rt ai pa is about one-fiftieth of their engtn. ‘For 35 years observers have noticed the bacillus of Koch living with the vinegar yeast, Botanists were divided in opinion whether they were inseparably a part of the life history of the mycoderma aceti, though nearly always found associated. Some botanists thought they were indis- pensable parts, and some thought not. They are the babies of the vegetations, and can be propagated wus babies.’’—Ephraim Cutter. ‘“T have long ceased t@& regard all the ba- cilli, micrococci and bacteria as the ulti- mate forms of animal or vegetable life. I look upon them as simply the embryos of mature forms, which are capable of prop- agating themselves in this embryonal state.’’-—Salisbury-McNuaughton’s prize es- say on malaria. Microbes play a very important salutary part in the science of agriculture. They act as nitrogen suppliers to the. soil. hey are very useful-to the dairyman, causing as they do they do that peculiar fermenta- tion that renders chéese so eet pe They are ubiquitous. The air we breathe swarms with thein. Thisis proved by Prof. Tyndall, The food we eat, the water we drink, alike furnish them an abiding place. The writer’s view of the functions of the microbe is as follows: The cell formation of our bod'es is constantly dying, as the life force leaves it and its work is done, The same rrinciple holds good throughout organic nature. All organic tissues under- go three distinct phases in their history— growth, decay and distntegration and these three.procesees may go on simulta- neously. In consequence of the dying of the cells, there is a continual accumula- tion of dead matter that must be disposed of by some process or processes. Aé one of these the microbe gets In his work.

This is generally due to carelessness or ignorance, OF both. catch cold through their feet ankles, by having their feet in one climate and their head in another. Office men who are en- gaged from 7, 8, 9 o'clock a. m., to 6 or6 p. m., return home after a day's labor, tired and ex- hausted, eat a hearty 6 or7 o'clock dinner, smoke, read the news, chat a while and then retire, These do not catch their colds during working days, but on Sunday, Some arise very early; others lie in bed or lounge around until noon. They have enjoyed a long night's rest; they take the'r own time in perfecting their tollet; put on slippers for the first time in a week and sit around the house the rest of the day. Those who have regularly put on their shoes upon arising during the week will return to business Monday morning sneezing and then wonder where they caught cold. Laboring men wear heavy wool or cotton under- clothing, with a sweater or heavy outer shirt. When they attend meetings or visit any place of amusement they don the ornamental white shirt and remove the heavy socks, and the result is a cold. We have another class, the lon -haired man and the man with the heavy beard. Whosoever neglects his hair and beard by failing to visit the barber at roauiar intervals of two or three weeks, catches cold. Again, there are some peers who change their wearing apparel with the rise and fall of the Thousands and thermometer. I would advise them to wear the suffer inconvenience.

Frequent bathing of the body is of great use to patients. A sponge bath at night will often allay excitement and give patients rest, Light exercise should be indulged in ag far as the strength will permit, especially lung exercise. Many individuals with lung trouble have been cured by learning to play the cornet. We now come to what, in my opinion, Is the most important part of the treatment of tuberculous patients, viz., the diet. With regard to diet, it should largely consist of animal foods. Of these, eggs and milk should preponderate. I prefer to give eggs raw when tolerated. he albumen of the egg is similar to blood albumen, and is di- gested, or rather, it is absorbed into the blood -without undergoing an elaborate di- gestive process. have found the white of the egg mixed with water, tolerated when the yolk could not be borne by the stom- ach. Bone marrow of the ox is of greater value than cod-liver oil. Good creamery butter should be used freely, and to.ac- complish this _result it should be spread thickly on very thin slices of bread. eave meals should be avoided, but food should be partaken of in small quantities between meals, Beef feeding. as introduced by Dr. J. H. Salisbury, and largely practiced by Dr. Ephraim Cutter and others, is a wonder- ful power for good in the nutrition of con- sumptives. Beef tea made from beef ex- tract, I consider positively injurious, It taxes unduly the excretive functions of the body, and has very little nutritive val- ue. It is largely stimulatin in its ac- tion, When I use beef tea Te my prac- tice I have it prepared as follows: Take a small quantity of gelatin, say about one teaspoonful, and dissolve the same in a cup of hot water. When dissolved add a small quantity of extract of beef for fla- voring purposes, then add a little salt and ‘pper. Fruit should be partaken of free- y. In fact, the aim of the physician should be to endeavor by means of al] the resources that the science and art of medicine has placed at his disposal to add to the digestive and assimilative pow- ers of his patient, and thus give him or her the greatest chance for a cure of the diseased tissues. I might continue this gk of + ot pony indefinitely, but enough s en written to show s a softehae. w its supreme im oo 6e00¢e8 $ » FOR CONSUMPTIVES. By Dr. I. D. Foulon. T has been known for many years to medical men that the most powerfu} means of cure at our disposal in many diseases consisted in sending the patient to a climate which would exercise a favorable influence over his malady At one time prolonged séa voyages or residence for many months upon islands situated far from the mainiand, which provided patients with pure ocean air, were the favorite resorts of consump- tives. But increasing knowledge has shown us that while the fresh air and sunshine of these rey.ons is distinctly advantageouge, in the major- ity of cases of which pulmonary tuberculosis , Y altitudes give better results. t was thought at one time that the physical effects of thigh altitudes, both upon the weil and sick, depended upon the diminished amount of oxygen present in the air. But more recently it has been discovered beyond all doubt that these Symptoms arise because of diminished exygen tension, there being at high altitudes a condi- tion in which the molecules of air are more widely separated than at the sea level. It is also 4 Well-known fact that after a person has been at a high altitude for a considerable period of time he can take more and more ex- ercise With less and less discomfort, and that instead of the altitude making h'm ill, he is very likely to Age 4 & degree of healthfulness in ex- cess of that ich he possessed when at a sea level.

HOW MUCH SLEEP. By Dr. August Schmidt. OME persons require more sleep than others, S but nature intends that everyone shall have at least eight houre of continuous and unmolested slumber. How much more, if any, one may require must be determined by one’s mental and physical organizations. It is impossible to divide the human race into classes and make rules for sleep to govern each of them, However, it may be stated as generally true that fleshy persons demand more sleep than thin ones. It is immaterial when one sleeps. The old saying that ‘‘an hour's sleep before midnight is better than three hours’ sleep after,” is nonsense. Sleep is as good at one time as at another. One may choose to reverse the order of nature and p bony the nights in wakefulness and the days in sleep and ee no unpleasant results from the choice. he essential thing is enough eleep. A good rule by which to proceed in regulating sleep is never to leave bed before becoming thor- oughly rested. A tired feeling is an indication either of illness or of insufficient sleep. It will never be present in a healthy person who has had enough sleep. A little careful considera- tion, in the light of experience, will soon teach one just how long to sleep. The period should never be shortened when it can possibly be avo'ded. I frequently hear persons say that, although they sleep much less than eight hours, they ex- per:ence no evil effects from their conduct. But there are evil effects, whether they experience them or not, They will develop in the course ot time and severely punish those who may choose to be indifferent to the demande of nature. The nervous system will certainly be shattered by such carelessness and insomnia and lapses of memory will appear to make life disagreeable. These results may not be perceptible for several years, but they are absolutely sure to follow a persistent refusal to procure enough sleep. PROTECTING THE SIGHT. By Dr. Walter M. Lutens. Mee PEOPLE are brought to the use of eye glasses long before there is any rea! physical need for them. I should say that this is primarily due to imagination and apprehension exaggerating some slight optical hurt, For example, dust or sediment may gather in the eye and weaken and inflame it. Then the per- son in such condition may try to read or sew or attempt some delicate operation requiring the easy use of the organ. The eye is further hurt, and for some days it will seem as if vision will be permanently weakened. That is just where the trouble comes in. The use of spectacles is 80 prevalent that the person affected imagines at once that the time has come when he must wear them also. So he goes to an optician and says he wants to be fitted for glasses. The dealer sells him a weak pair; he uses ' them: he becomes accustomed to them; his eyes adust themselves to artificial help and after a while he cannot get along without them. If in the first place, when the eyes became in- flamed, the patient had applied a few simple home remedies he would never have been forced to the unhappy condition of using spectacles. Such remedies are glycerine diluted with a weak percentage of salt water, applied every half hour; and the white of an egg used as a poultice. The last.is used by firemen, especially after the smoke has bleared and weakened their eyesight. Very few firemen wear glasses. SUPERFLUOUS HAIR. HERE are several! formulae for removing su- perfluoug hair. None of them is “hagm- less’’ in the strict sense of the word, but all of them if carefully handled may be used a very long time without material injury to the skin. The following is one of the best, providing always that the ingredients are fresh and kept tightly stoppered: Barium sulphide osectecocesses © DATEE Quicklime powdered ......eeee.+.-24 parts, Starch cococcccscese se Darts, Orris root pOwde»;red...ccccccsecess 8 Parts.

Babler. ie is nothing more beneficial to a con- sumptive than plenty of fresh air and sun- light. They are the best disinfectants and tonics. In choosing a living room for the sick person it should be in a part of the house where the sun’s rays have ready access and where through at least two windows a gentle current of air can be introduced, An upper room is not so desirable. as the patient ougnt to be epared the fatigue of walking up and down stairs. The reason why so many consumptives are or- dered to Texas and New Mexico is because there it is possible cwing to the pleasant weather to De outdoors enjoying fresh air and sunshine con- stantly. All cuspidors and vessels used by consumptives shoukl have solution of carbolic acid and water in them or should be cleansed with the solution. MILLER AIDS THE DENTIST. By Dr. Thomas H. Shekleton. T is said that the invention of the new process for making flour has done more for the dentist than aught elee. The miller has found that he must make a flour that will please the eye. To get his flour as white and fine as possible he to diecard the coverings of the grain of wheat, thus removing the phosphates. [It is the phosphates that give strength to the teeth, and with them out of the floor, it is not wonderful that pecple’s teeth wear out and decay. The miiler knows this better than the people who eat his flour, but he has found that he cannot sell flour that ia not white. The family dentist has become as much of a factor In life as the purveyor of shoes for the family and frequently secures more than his share of the earnings. EXPOSURE AND COLDS. By Dr. Amand Ravold. throat HEN. cold weather comes. the W\ and chest should be hardened to the cold. This is a thing so easily accom- plished that no one ought overlook or neglect it. The throat and chest should be bathed in cold water every morning as soon as one gets up. Uniess this is done these parts of the body are liable to be chilled in a dangerous way by having the coat open or muffler off. The muffier is a continual source of danger to a person who doés not bathe the throat in cold water ever morning. The most careful of us will leave it o now and then, d the throat, unless hardened, is dangerously chilled.

One Can Avoid It by Care in the Selection of Ancestors, éé Prine to » the safest rule to follow in seek. ing to avoid nervous prostration ta to ex- ercise great care in the selection of one’s ancestors, says Dr. Landon Carter Gray in the Gentlewoman for January. If possible, select those on both sides who have Ilved to be a hun- dred years old. Ancestry, or heredity, have much to do with disease. more especially with nervous disorders, Heredity is only predisposition, and one can do a great deal to ward off heredity— that is, to ward off the tendency to predieposition, “One way is t> have three generous, varied, aml well-cooked meals per day. Take plenty of time to eat them—at the very least 3 to 3% min- utes, bettér still, one hour, especially for dinner, The surroundings and conditions under which the meal is eaten should be pleasant. Food le worse than wasted which is taken Into the system when laboring under great excitement, grief, anxiety, or other disturbing conditions. “Leave all health foods and all fad articles of diet alone, as you would snake poison, and just remember that all we know about diet Is that we have teeth and digestive fluids to take care of pretty nearly all kinds of food, which ts a pretty good indication that we can eat them. ' “Take eight hours’ sound sleep. Not eight hours in bed, but eight hours’ sleep. If you do not fall asleep easily, or the sleep is broken and restless, or you lie awake an hour or more after golng to bed, you should remain In bed ten hours. There is not a case in history of a person who did with less sieep and kept his health. The story of Na- poleon’s six hours’ «sleep has had a pernicious ef- fect upon many who resembled him in nothing except thelr endeavor to get along with less than the natural amount of sleep. “Every woman should get a certain amount of moderate exercise in the open air. It makes no difference what kind of exercise is taken so lon as it exerciees all the muscles and is not follow by a sense of fatigue. “The question is not what exercise you think e ought to have, but what vou can endure, f you find that you can only walk one hour each day without becoming fatigued, then that is enough. If you cannot take that much exercise, then walk half an hour, but if half an hour's exe ercise exhausts you so that you do not quic recover after a short reét, then you are sick you need a doctor. “The element of worry has undoubtedly a greag deal to do with nervous depression. There ig @ reat deal of worry which is totally unnecessary, t is possible to cultivate a cheerful and cone. tented frame of mind. If you have not sufficient self-control to do this, then invoke some artificial aid, such as religion, faith cure, don’t Wo clubs, or In some way supplement or cultivate that self-control which it was the purpose of God that you should have. Take a mirror and learn to smile cheerfully. CLEAN STREETS. By Dr. Charles H. Hughes. To macadamizing of so many S8t. Louis. streets with our soft white limestone, which is ground to duet almost as soon as it is put on, is one cause of dusty, dirty streete. The laying of the. granite blocks crosswise or lengthwise across the street instead of parallel, with parallel seams that might be ewept out in- stead of swept over by the rotary sweeper, is an- other cause, Bad and neglected sweeping, instead of flushing and washing is another cause. The smal! number of asphalt pavements ie the prircipal cause., ‘ St. Louis should be asphalted throughout like Paris. Then ruber tired vehicles and automotors coyld be used and would come into general use, With reasonable care on the part of the Street Commissioner, who hae a hard road to hoe now and on the part of the Sanitary Department and the Mayor, St. Louis might n become a metrop- olis in appearance es she S in fact, and a com- paratively clean and noiseless city, and conse quertly a much healthier place to live in, THAT UNNOURISHED LOOK, By Dr. H. C. Hartmann, determining whether tuberculosis exists } note the general appearance, health, appetite and energy of the suspect. The lungs may seem sound and the stomach may furnish the first symptoms. When unnourished looks are obsery- able in the patient, when a depressing languot affiicts him. an occasional coughing is noted, J begin to study more closely. - The microscope is a tedious assistant sometimes, I have made as many as ® examinations’ of sputum on siides before finalle detefmining that tubercular bacilli are present. Perhaps .they are so few as to be hardly distinguishable at first. It is a se-. vere strain on the eyes to do this analytical work, SICK HEADACHE, By Dr. W. Miller. N O physical annoyance is more acute or last- ing, perhaps, than sick headache. It is not infrequently chronic. Excessive brain exercise or worry, or mental depression, are the, chief aids of such headache. Indigestible foods, such as butter, fatty articles, pork, alcohol and pastry, are in a large measure responsible for it. The pain generally attacks the forehead or top of the head. Often it selses the eye or temple, thus becoming of a neuraigic nature. Dizziness usually follows. 7 We can avoid this trouble by temperate eats and regular hours for sleeping. TO REMAIN YOUNG. [vat a brisk walk every day: secure fresh air, a glimpse of fresh scenes and fresh faces. ' These are worth more than doctors :% tonics to an overtired and nervous man or woma and give a prettier glow to the cheeks than the finest manufactured rouge in existence. One whe keeps mind and body on the alert will seldom neeu to have recouree to science or diet to de- crease size and weight.

ALBERT BUOFINELL LLOY LONDON, Jan. 21. Special Cable to the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1898, by I’ress Publishing Co. WHO LLOYD Is. Albert Bushnell Lloyd is the hero of the hour in London. His trip across the darkest part of the Dark Continent from Trau or Toro, on Albert Nyanza Lake, to the headwaters of the Congo, is regarded as the most daring and successful feat of exploration on record. Mr. Lloyd is only 33 years old. The scientific value of his observations is conceded to be great. No other explorer has ever secured more than fleeting glimpses of the pigmies. Indced, before Stanley’s discovery of them their -very existence was Eeld.in doubt. Mr. Lloyd has written the following account of his journey for the Sunday Post- Dispatch: ——O—— O90 © 64-00 1 that I entered the weird | and gloomy shades of the great dark forest. I soon felt verily swallowed up by its overpowering gRreatness, by the semi- darkness which lingers in its shadow all day long, and by the awful stiffness, broken occasionally by the sudden, Strange and appalling cries of wild animals. The crashing of giant trees, less numbers of unknown bined with the feeling t in the wilderness, yet surrounded and watched by those uncanny, invisible beings, the pigmies, all contributed to give one an indescribable sensation of awe ‘As I was pushing my way ahead of our little party day my gun-bearer pointed to what he called a ‘‘man-monkey” on the top of an enormous tree. Thinking from his hairy, shaggy body that the strange creature must be a goril- la, I leveled my rifle and was about to fire when the boy exclaimed, “It is a man!’ I stood in T was on Oct. the count- animals, com- hat one was alone one amazement. It was the nrst pPigmy I had ever geen. When the pigmy found that he was ob- served he nimbly skipped from branch to branch until he vanished in the dense growth, As the tiny fellow had a bow rows in one hand I began to fear that there was trouble ahead, but at the end of the day's journey I was visited in my camp by the pigmy chief with a numér- ous retinue of his followers. The chief of the pigmies and his people were very much frightened. They covered their faces with their hands when speak- ing. By the aid of an interpreter I conversed with them for some time. They were the .oldest little creatures imaginable, perfectly proportioned in every respect and tn no more than four feet. In height; many were much less. They had finely developed limbs, massively mus- cled' and powerfully strong. All had very hairy bodies and long beards, and their heads were borne proudly erect. Their small, sparkling eyes shifted cease- lessly as they talked, much like the eyes of monkeys. Both men and women were perfectly naked except for a tiny strip of bark cloth about the loins. They all carried either bows and arrows or throwing spears, whose points, like those of the arrows, were in some cases polsoned. They are excellent marksmen with both weapons. bn their habits these strange little people are entirely nomadic, seeking shelter at night in small huts two or three feet high. The natives were perfectly friendly. I had long conversation with the tiny chief. When I asked him where his home and ar- case a was he pointed to the impenetrable forest all about us, I asked him to allow me to photograph a group of his people and he brought 15 of them together. I secured a snap-shot, but the little fellows were too reSstless to enable me to get the time exposure which he: darkness of the forest rendered neces- sary. The pigmies were very restive at first when I tried to measure them, but soon submitted. The women are somewhat Slighter than the men, but remarkably sturdy and not unpleasing to appearance. After this interview I chanced upon one of the deserted settlements of the pigmies. It consisted of tiny huts from three to four feet high, thatched With giant leaves. A few broken clay cooking pots were scat- tered around, It was a strange, eerie scene, this de- serted village in the deathly silence and dimness of that vast forest. It gave one @ creepy sensation, as though one had reached the corner of Fairyland. I struggled on foot three weeks through this tangled mass of vegetation until 1 reached the banks of the Aruwim! River. The next tribe I met were the Bangwa, the most savage cannibals in Africa. They are very. tall, bold and fearless warriors. Many times they surrounded me in their hideous full war-paint, thinking €oubtless how I would taste. Sometimes I watched them sitting around their huge, steamng pots of kolanut soup, each suckng through a long reed the poison that in a little while made them mad for blood, their eyes starting from their sockets, their features horribly distorted, yet I was never molested. The most striking sight I ever witnessed among the Bangwa was a midnight can- nibal dance in which about two hu:tdred savages of both sexes took part, Huge fires were built in the center of an open space in the forest, and around this they ranged themselves, the men on one side, the women on the other. Words fail to convey the slightest idea of the strangeness of the dance, the at- titudes into which they wriggled them- selves, all keeping time like a_ tfained troop to the weird sounds made by their hands and mouths, the ghastly grimaces that distorted their features—all! this in the dim light of the fire baffles description. Presently the murmuring noise made by the dancers as they wriggled round the fire became louder and -louder, their contor- tions grew more violent and quicker and quicker, until all burst forth into a ter- rible yell. They seemed veritably to fly around the fire, still keeping. in the form of a circle. This orgy was kept up for nearly two hours. Then suddenly there was a hush. Not a sound disturbed the stillness. The dance was over. The cannibals retired, ex- hausted, to rest. I eventually reached the coast on Dec. 1. Although ‘many of the Belgians in the Congo Free State were almost incredulous when I told them my story—one of the highest State officials on the Congo called me a fool for attempting such a perilous journey—I have come through all the way in good health, and with no mishap what- soever.

A hundred thou- sand tons of iron ore, or double last year’s output, was exported from Belle Isle mine alone this year. A syndicate of British ironmastérs has leased the Bay de Verde mine and is preparing to work it. The vein is 16 miles long and estimated by experts to contain 40,000,000 tons of finest ore. At Little Bay a new copper vein nine feet wide has been d'scovered. Mr. Reid's prospectors are constantly making new and valuable finds all over the island.

IFE as it is in Hawaii has been de- 4s scribed by Burton Holmes of Phile- delphia and hie business man,Louts Francis Brown, who have just returned from Honolulu, where they have been for several months acquiring material for a tecture. Mr. Holmes sald: ‘“Ponderous social functions In Hawail are few and far between. Occasionally there is a state reception or ball, but ag a rule the ball dress and evening clothes for men are ignored and white duck suits and the cool and delightfully becoming garb of the American summer girl being most in vogue. The prevalling temperature the year round being between 60 and 90 degrees, this seems eminently appropriate. “One of the first affairs to which we were invited was a native feast, or ‘luau,’ as it is called by the natives. This was given in our honor at a typical Honolulu house, situated on the shore at Waikiki, a charm- ing suburb about three miles from the cen- ter of Honolulu. “Alighting from our carriage we were ushered across a smooth lawn, on the bor- ders of which royal palms waved majesti- cally in the breeze. We were presented to the other guests, among whom were Prin- cess Kaiulani and other leaders in Ha- walian society. While seated on the ver- anda, quaint Japanese maids, in native cos- tume, brought us an appetizer, familiarly American, mixed by their fair hostess, after which we all passed through a finely ap- pointed drawing room, worthy of the high- est metropolitan civilization, out onto the ‘lanai,’ where the ‘luau’ was spread. The ‘lunal’ is one of the institutions of Hawaiian home life. It is a large square veranda which is used at all times of the year as a living room. Here the meals are served, here friends are received, books are read and sewing is done. In this particu- lar case a terrace extended a few feet be- yond the border of the ‘lanai,’ at the foot of which, some 10 feet beneath, the ocean dashed up over a beach of snowy sand, “In this delightful ‘lanai’ the tables were laid, their position forming a letter V, at the apex of which, one at each table, sat the host and hostess. On the white tabie- cloth ferns were spread in such profusion that the cloth was fairly hidden, while down the center of the table was a row of pineapples, watermelons and other fruits. It is the custom at a native feast to put everything on the table at once, so the table fairly swayed under native dishes, as yet unexplored by Americans, and which we were told we would be obliged to eat without knife, fork or spoon, the native custom. “After the crabs and lobsters had been served the hostess unwrapped the ‘ti’ leaves from around a delicious baked mullet, a fish similar to a shad, yet without the abundance of bones, which she proceeded to break apart with her fingers, and then to hand around, in the same manner, to her guests. Between each lady and gentleman a calabash, containing what looked like a light gray musilage, was placed. This was ‘poi,’ the great staple of native diet, about which so much is heard. Into this calabash one finger or more must be plunged, ac- cording to the consistency of the ‘pol’ and the dexterity of the.eater. To the finger or fingers some of the ‘poi’ adheres in a large and not over-appetizing drop. With a deft and not too easily acquired movement the finger is transferred to the mouth, to be withdrawn with a satisfied smack, bereft of ‘poi.’ This almost proved a Waterloo for us. “At last, after many difficulties, we suc- ceeded in tasting the national dish. It tastes like nothing else on earth, so inde- ecribable is it, except that it is raw and slightly acid, as if fermentation was about to begin. ‘*‘Besides the edibles already enumerated, barbecued young pig, duck stewed with taro leaves, and other dishes were served.

The children don’t wear any clothes at all and some of the grown people don’t wear any too many. We had dinner before we started to camp and we had Cubans fight- ing for hardtack. We camped 8 miles from town and the Cubans followed us all the way to camp, waving flags and crying out “Viva Americo!"" We had a very poor Christmas. Our dinner consisted of canned beans and hardtack. We have a _ hard time getting water, as there are only two wells where we can get water. It has bien raining all the time and we have had a hard time getting our tents up. We have big tents and every man has a cot. If we didn’t have them, I don’t Know what we would do, for it is the first army hard- ships we have had.

Mr. Cox, who was recently assaulted near Pekin, has had many similar expert- ences during the doten years he has been railroad building in the Chihtl Province, and has only extricated himself by dint of tact, pluck and good humor. He has for years practically carried his life in his hand. In 1890. for example, during floods, a mob, led by the soldierly Lutal, a military camp near Tientsin, cut the railway embank- ment and destroyed seven miles of I'ne, their officers encouraging them, and the en- lightened viceroy, Li Hung Chang, in his yamen. a few miles off, ‘layin’ low and sayin’ nuffin.” The cause aleged was that the embankment prevented the flood water from running off, which, as there were fre- quent outiets, was utter nonsense.

As we had insisted that we pre- ferred to have this ‘luau’ genuine in every particular, our prayers to be permitted to use a fork or some article of modern civili- combat these difficulties were laughingly disregarded. After closing this novel feast with fruit, the welcome cala- bash again restored us to a comparatively cleanly state, and our first ‘luau’ was at an end, “Another diversion of characteristic na- ture was in store for us. It had been ar- ranged that we, with the rest of the guests, to the number of about 30, should enjoy a canoe ride in the surf, a distinctly Ha- walian amusement. The natives indulge in thig sport, using ‘surf-boards’ instead of canoes, but that was out of the question for us, as the boards are merely planks about seven feet long by .two and a half wide, upon which the expert native stands, balancing himself upon the crest of the breaker. At the close of the afternoon be- fore which the time was passed in listening to native songs sung to the accompani- ment of guitars ‘ukaliis’ and other native instruments by a group of fine-looking Kan. akas, we found six immense canoes drawn up on the beach beside the terrace, guarded by about 15 natives, stripped to the waist, their well-developed torsos glistening In the sunlight. ‘“‘A Kanaka canoe is made from the trunk of some large tree, hollowed out and then painted, unsually black with a yellow prow and stern. The shape of these canoes is extremely picturesque and the outrigger, lashed by poles which holds it in a parallel position to the canoe itself, adds to the bar- baric appearance of the whole craft. ‘‘Dressed in bathing suits, the entire party made a rush for their allotted places, and amid much splashing and shouting and waving of paddles by the natives, we got under way. Starting for a point on the beach toward Diamond Head, where the surf ran highest, we paddled along. “The helmsman steered for a point about an eighth of a mile from shore, just over the coral reef which lies ten or fifteen feet below. Here, the six canoes abreast, we waited the incoming of a wave worthy of our efforts. “When is was seen rapidly approaching the host shouted at the top of his voice, ‘Hoi, hol, hol,’ which means, ‘Row, row, zation to RINCE HILKOFF, a nephew of the [PP Russian Minister of Railways, is soon to settle in Manitoba.

Prince Hilkoff was born in Southern Rus- sia in 1858 and lived the life common to Russian noblemen’s sons. At the age of seventeen he entered the fe Guards, but he wanted to see service, and when the war with Turkey broke out in 1877 he secured his exchange to a Cos- sack regiment. During this war he chanced one day to sit in the same room with a Doukhobar. Their attention was called by the cries of a Cossack, who had lost his hold on the halter of a horse. The horse escaped and an officer began beating the man. The Dukhobortsl, turning to Hilkoff, sa‘d: “You belleve in the Ikon?’’—the Ikons tn Russia are pictures of the Christ or the Virgin Mary, or some holy person; a sort of bas-relief with transparent face and hands, the body embossed with gold. “Yes,” said Hlkoff, “I believe in the lkon."’ “Well!” continued the Dukhobortski, the Ikons sacred?’ “They are to me,” replied the Prince. “They are not to be beaten?’ asked the peasant. “No. Why do you ask?’ “Man is made in the Image of God?" asked the Dukhoborts!, unmindful of the last question. “He is, I most truly bel'eve kof. “Hiow is it, then.” asked the Dukhobort- si, “that the Ikons, being made of wood, are sacred and not to be beaten, while man, made in the image of God, a living, breath- ing thing. can be beaten with Impunity?”’ “Not having ready arguments at my command,” eaid Prince H:lkoff, In speaking of the event afterward, “I looked out of the window for some time, watching the officer belabor the Cossack and endeavoring to find some excuse for him. I had never before thought it improper for a Cossack to be beaten. They were as dogs to me, their lives worth about as mach. “I endeavored to convince the man by the. Scriptures that he was Hlogical.

ALICE NIELSEN, In “The Fortune Teller,” at the Olympic. HE theater interests of St. Louis de- mand that engagements at the two first-class houses be lengthened to at T least two weeks. Unless this is done there will not be seven money-making theaters here next season. Whether it can be or not, Mr. Charles A. Spalding, owner of the Olympic and controller of the Century, must ascertain. In order to change the bill at each house weekly, 70 attractions must be presented. There are not 70 at- tractions traveling that are better than many that can be seen for popular prices in St. Louis. This has been demonstrated year after year. The managements of the high-priced houses have been compelled to g.ve time to shows that were not worth more than 30 cents. Part of the public suf; fered and part of ‘it went to the cheap houses and got its money's worth. It was a cherished dream of Will J. Davis to get a class of attractions at the Century that would run two weeks. It was tried under the Hayman & Davis management, but the selections were most of them un- lucky. ‘The Sign of the Cross’’ and “Secret Bervice’’ justified the experiment, but others, notably “‘The Conquerors,”’ didn’t. It had been tried before by the Olympic with varying success. Fanny Davenport and the Lilliputians drew for two weeks all right, but a similar experiment with the Lyceum Stock Company was a failure, It is now Mr. Spalding’s move. He con- trols both houses and will book for both next season. He has an excellent idea of what pleases St. Louis people and what he doesn’t know, his local representative, Mr. P. Short, can tell him. He would hardly have selected ‘‘The Conquerors” for a two- weeks’ run here. Indecent plays have a chance of success in New York that they have in no other American city. This cir- cumstance does not reflect upon the taste of the men and women who reside in New York. It is because that city has a much larger floating population than other cities. Men go to New York and do things and see things that they would not tolerate in their home town, They are “out fOr a time” and they want a hot pace. It does seem, however, that a man of mature judgment should be able to differen- tlate between the plays that will and will not draw in ‘“‘the provinces.” Mr. Spalding can probably do it, and he must try. The Bostonians proved last week and the week before that they were strong enough for a two weeks’ run, and that in the face of the fact that they produced only old operas and that the opposition the firet Week was stronger than any other com- pany has encountered in St. Louis this season. Here are a few attractions named offhand that should be good for two weeks in St. Lou's: Sol Smith Russell, Nat Goodwin. E. H. Sothern, Julia Marlowe, Richard Mans- field, the Empire Theater Stock Company in repertoire, John Drew, Maud Adams, Olga Nethersole, W. H. Crane, E. S. Wil- lard, Joseph Jefferson. There are others, but not such a lot of them as one might imagine. Think over the list yourself. There is a base solo in “The Fortune Te). ler,” the words of which ind'cate that it will give Eugene Cowles an opportunity to do great execution with his subcellar notes If Victor Herbert has done justice to the lines it should be a number worth remem. bering; and it does seem that any composer of merit could build a tune to suit euch @onorous words. Here is a verse of it: I give ve the tale of the Gypay Jan Vier — te ae tale to me. ew would fare to the But there ino the night on hag my oe, And there in the dark he'd crouch and hark With bis ear to the ground so cold And he'd hear the clamor of pick and hammer As the dwarfmen mined their gold. ‘ 0, down—down—in the mountain’ Where . mere has entered —* Down in ® mines where t) 0 aed ewer imen toll eevee, red gold shines, e clatter and clan f ’ Til the bold Jan's heart oF reas se Besta And he swore be would cteep to the ¢ ro b the wae 5 eee gold averns deep o!

Mr. Cowles has two other songs in the opera, but neither of the others read as well as “Gypsy Jan.” Hobart Bosworth, the leading man of the new stock company at the Grand Opera House. has had a meteoric and varied ca. reer. He ts a fair illustration of the Shaks- pearian axiom, “And one man in his time plays many parts.” “Iran away from home at the mature age of 12." said Mr. Bosworth, “and since then have filied the positions of cabin boy, sailor, whaler, merchant, cow boy, hunter. wrest. ler ‘and finally actor. As a sailor I accu- mulated nothing but a good constitution. My mercantile career proved that there were others more successful than I in that ‘Mne of life. My hunting experience was a delightful one, and gave me an excel- lent knowledge of the wonderful redwood country in California, and brought me to an intimate acquaintanceship with myself. For 40 consecutive days I never eaw a hu- man face, and had for my gole companions my rifle and my dog. My pursuit of the grizzly in his native haunts naturally sug- gested wrestling, and on my arrival at San I’rancisco I joined the gymnasium and biossomed out as a wrestler, and a. pretty poor one at that. My initiation into pro- fessional life, which followed immediately upon my brief wrestling experience, was somewhat noteworthy, as I had only been behind the footlights six times when I made my debut before them. “McKee Rankin was my stage god- father. I called on him one day, gave him a brief summary of my career, and wound up with a fervidly expressed hope that he would put me on the stage. Mr. Rankin reluctantly consented, and my professional life commenced with a nine months’ en- gagement with the McKee Rankin stock company. “My next appearance was in the Alcazar stock company, with which I played three years. I later joined forces with Herr- mann, and made a trip through Mexico with the great magician. In December, 1888, Augustin Daly offered me an engage- meaht, and I played with the Daly company untik the spring of 1898. My 10-year con- nection with this splendid company gave me the opportunity of playing an extensive round of characters, and afforded me a breadth of experience which has since proved invaluable to me. My visit to St. Louis with Miss Julia Marlowe is of too recent date to need mention, and I am ex- tremely well pleased to be able now to con. sider tinyself a permanent resident of the city.”’ We had a hero of Richelieu’s time pic- tured on the stage of the Olympic week before last and now we are to have another of the same vintage at the Century. It Is popularly suppovsed that the musketeers, D’Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, were children of Dumas’ brain, but they all had their originals in real life just as Cyrano de Bergerac had. career is set forth at length in “Memoirs de M. D’Artagnan, Captaine-Lieutenant de la Premiere Compagnie des Mousquetaires du Roi,”’ a curious old book published at Cologne in 1700. From a copy of it in the National Library at Paris Dumas got most of the material for his Guardsmen stories. “Brown's In Town’’ will follow Sothern at the Century. It is gratifying to nofe that Josie Sadler is in the company. She is the little woman who almost redeemed ‘The Good Mr. Best" from utter dreariness last year by playing the part of a servant girl with a gift for falling over things. Other old friends in the company are Ed- ward 8S. Abeles, Kathryn Osterman and Anna Belmont. Gertrude Lodge arrived a few days ago from New York. She saw “The. Turtle” while in Gotham and says it is a charming play and not nearly. as nadghty as she had been led to believe. Mr. Al Hayman celebrated the 100th pro- duction of “On and Off” by distributing gold stamp boxes as souvenirs. “Way Down East” will follow “The For- tune Teller’ at the Olympic.

Suoatschaff. Count Comullor Aloys von Mittersteig, in whose residence at Carls- bad the action of the comedy takes place, will be taken care of by George W. Den- ham; T. Chesley and Harry O. Stubbs will play Baumann and Wenzel respectively. ‘When London Sleeps’ will be presented to-day and all this week at Havlin’s. It is a melodrama presented by James H. Wallick, and is said to be the best of its kind. The plot follows the struggles of an heiress, who is found by her guardian to be connected with a circus, and who is taken away from her friends to a home in London. She is in love with one of the performers in the circus. Her cousin tries in vain to break the ties between them, in order that he can secure control of her money. Failing in this, he entices her into a disreputable resort in London, from which her lover and another circus per- former rescue her after an exciting strug- gle. Her cousin attempts to murder his mistress, who shoots at him with a re- volver, then escapes on a telegraph wire from a burning building. In the final act she is entrapped in a room in a circus and is offered up as a sacrifice to heathen gods by her cousin, the whole affair ending in an explosion, her rescue by her lover and the arrest of ‘ther cousin. Hurtig & Seamon's “Bowery Burles- quers”’ are the company booked for this week at the Standard. The advance notices state positively that it is gorgeous and splendid and various other things calcu- lated to please. Among the people in the company are: Andy Lewis and Maude El. liott, who do a sketch; Marie and Nettie Nelson, singers and dancers; Shattuck, “the California Nightingale;’ Lulu Ryan and Emma Woods, “tough” girls, and Perry Ryan; Dan Grace and Ada Burnette; Gladys Van, comedienne; Loney Haskell, monologue artist; Vinnie Henshaw, Pauline Moran and Louise Auber, and Nutakmee, said to be an Indian princess. Emil Sauer, the distinguished planist, who made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, will appear in St. Louis on Jan. 24, under the auspices of the Apollo Club. Mr. Sauer comes high, but the swell musical club must have him. The announcement is made that he will play only two numbers, for which he will receive $1000. In earning this princely sum Mr. Sauer will be engaged less than an hour. The members of the Apollo Club be- Heve they will be well repaid, as the pianist has received the highest encomi- ums wherever he has appeared. APOTHEOSIS OF ROSENTHAL FTER an absence of several years A Moriz Rosenthal, the great pianist, is again playing in this country, fuller in knowledge, finer in technical equip- ment, more wholly the artist. Eight years ago he played in St. Louls to a few musicians, critics and the more cultured of the music lovers. Next Satur- day night when he fulfills his engagement at the Fourteenth Street Theater he prob- ably will play to a crowded house, Rosentha! is distinctly a player who ap- Ppeals to men and to those women who love manly strength. He is immensely virile, and his playing, almost overwhelming in its diabolical cleverness, is still essentially the playing of a man who thinks and feels. Rosenthal looks like the young Heine— blonde and well-formed, with a thick mop of yellow hair and a heavy yellow mus- tache. His hair is not too long nor too bushy—just ‘bizarre’ enough for the proper plano-esque effect. A great air of determination sits upon this sturdy little person. He carries his head up and his shoulders back and he looks the man. He is absolutely devoid of physical mannerisms, and is as fond of athietics as a healthy school bev. “I have no regular hours for practicing,” he said not long ago. “Some days I spend four or five hours at my piano, and some Gays I do not touch a key. But I never negiect my dally gymnastic exercises, and as @ result my muscles are as hard and firm as those of an athiete.”” And so they are.

MAN who plays the fiddle and sings A Irish songs and thinks the public would like to hear him, calléd .on Stage Manager Sterling of the Columbia Theater the other day and asked to be re- hearsed. Now, Mr. Sterling is a man of great pa- tlence, as all stage managers are, but he had had a bad day. Eight or ten thousand women—the figures are his—had been in to tell him how well their daughters could do a cake walk, and several hundred girls —figures still his—had called to ask wheth- er he thought !t would be wrong for —_ to wear tights, and he felt like getting even, “Come back at 5:15 o’clock and you can rehearse,”” said he to the man with the violin. Then the patient stage manager told his satellites to treat the stranger as a brother. At 5:15 the man with the violin was at the stage door. He was told to go ahead: and the critics in front—ushers and other attaches — would pass judgment on his music, The man with the violin tuned up and began to play “Home, Sweet Home.” ‘The bass drum and cymbals artist in the or- chestra started up his part in the overture to “Willlam Tell.” The violinist looked pained but kept right on. A plece of plank fell out of the files and etruck the stage a few feet from the violinist. He moved a little to one side and continued to play. Another plank fell; then somebody dropped a bucket of coal behind him and the ket- tle drum man fired a pistol. The violin- ist switched to “Billy tn the Low Grounds” and a slap-stick fell on his head. The fiddler put up his instrument and hunting up the stage manager sald: “I sus. pect you're too busy cleaning up the stage and getting ready for to-night to rehearse me this afternoon. I'll come back in the morning.” , “That will be better,” sald the patient stage manager, bowing out the artist. “You oughta let us drop a tub of water on him,” said a scene shifter. “No, boys, no: gentle methods ere al- ways best,” said the stage manager; ‘‘be- sides, I don’t like to get the etage wet.” The morai of this story Ww that if you want to get on the stage go and > the eneral manager.

NDAY OKNiivG—S x. Louis F a5! Pl 5 5G IANUARY ai iad OSPERITY S COL. F. When Wealthy He Be- came the Town’s Friend. ACON, MO., has a recipe for pros- M perity. It is this: Get a millionaire. Macon knows the virtue of the plan. She has tried it, and she is a better, bigger and busier city in a happier, healthier and more prosperous community for the trial. Macon’s millionaine is Col. F. W. Blees. Col. Blees, his generosity and his money have supplied in Macon that prosperity which good grain crops, natural mineral riches, railways, good roads, electric lights and water works could not give. The people of Macon tried all of these, and then settled down in waiting for something to turn up. And then came Col. Blees. For a number of years he had successfully conducted Bt. James Military Academy there, an insti- tutfton founded in 1875 by the Rev. Ethel- bert Talbot. The school was continued by the Episcopal Church with varying suc- cess untl! Col, Blees took charge. At that time it was at a rather low ebb. The Col- one], frésh from a high grade military institution of Iowa, infuséd new life into the academy, employed a first-class faculty, inaugurated radical changes and systems and finally succeeded in establishing it on a plane that ranked it with the beat in- stitutions in the country. While in the midst ot his plans for increasing its use- fulness and extending its scope the Col- onel was’ called to the deathbed of his father ia Aix-da-Chappelle, Germany. The death of the Marquis, who had ac- cumulated great wealth through the rich- ness of Bast India mining properties, left his Missouri gon vast estates. This estate, in cash and lands, chattels and convertible stocks, was understood at the time to have been $2,000,000, though it has been subse- quently learned that geome of the properties afterward developed riches increasing the inheritance to more than two millions. At any rate Col. Blees found himself gm enormously wealthy man, and the people of Macon were pretty well of a mind that they could count upon their fingers the numbe? of days that the Colonel would stay in poor Macon. But they didn’t know the Colonel He returned. He thought Misosuri the garden spot of the earth and Macon the finest place in it. The town had stood close to his shoulders when the town was big and he was little, and now that he was big and the town was little, dear old Macon could just lean on him. After resting a year Col, Blees began his work. He took the old Macon Academy Building, and never called the carpenters, painterw, , bricklayers, stqnemasons, decor- ators, artiste and artisans out of it and ghe grounds around it until the whole place was alive with beauty, the air aquiver with the anthem of industry and the Blees’ home the prettiest artificial thing ever seen in Macon or Macon's end of Missouri. And there never were happler people than the mechanics of Macon and Col. Blees when he paid them $25,000 of his newly-found wealth for their work and their wares and moved into his splendid home. Just across the street a large, handsome barn was erected, in which some of the finest blooded horses of the country are housed and cared for by expert horsemen. whose duty it is to see that nothing for the comfort and health of their charges is lacking. The stalls, bins, railings, etc., are of polished oak. The building is lighted by electricity and heated by steam. In the summer time the gardeners construct elaborate flora] beds in all sorts of de- signs around this building and the resi- dence. Last summer during the war the flower beds were made in the shape of flags, shields and varioug military devices. The people of St. Louls have seen at the fair and the horse show Rex McDonald, the beautiful black stallion than whom as a gaited saddler of his class, there is none finer in the world. Rex McDonald belongs to Col. Blees. They have also seen at the St. Louis shows the black Stallion’s great daughter, Lady McDonald, than whom there is ro finer arfimal afoot She, too, 1s the property of Col. Blees. His stables of saddlers and gaited saddlers are the finest in Missouri and.all other States, and this —— ff THE HOME OF COL. BLEES. It was formerly a military academy, but has been made into a spfend;d residence. Wie” “es ANS is but one of the ways in which he spends his money. The first industry he established was a shear factory on Weed street. A patent was purchased from a Canadian inventor, Mr. Bailey, and a _ three-story building erected and installed with a $25,000 iron and steel working plant. The capacity of this factory now is 40 dozen improved shears per day and it has orders ahead that will require a year for the present force to com- plete. A wagon and carriage factory fol- lowed. Both plants are run by a large Cor- liss engine, one of the finest west of the Mississippi, situated in the center of the factory. Col. Blees is now president of.the First National Bank, the Macon Citigen Printing Company and manager of the Opera House, The latter Is a narvel of beauty and con- venience, and is said to be one of the finest opera houses in ‘the State. Some of the best troops now ‘traveling have shown here, and the Colonel has frequently obtained the presence of first-class com- ke a as a knight of the round table to patrician or plebelan. His hobby is fine horse-flesh, which is shared in by his wife, and both are excellent riderw. When the war broke out with Spain Col, Biees was one of the first to tender his aword to his State and offered to raise and equip a company out of his own pocket. It REX M’DONALD, COL. BLEES’ CHAMPION SADDLE STALLION. Rex McDonald is the chief pride of his owner, When a colt Rex was pur- chased by Col. R. T. Freeman of the late Jos. McDonald for $105 at public gale. Ag a two-year-old he showed wonderful qualities, and as a three-year-old defeated Lou Chief, Col. John T. Hughes’ show mare, both at Mexico and St. Louis, Col. Hughes purchased him of Col. Freeman for $3050. Rex was never defeated in a show ring. Last year Col. Blees purchased Rex for $5000. He was barred last year at the St. Louis Fair and Horse Show on account of his recognized superiority over all competitors. panies solely for the gratification of his immediate friends. An extensive sewerage system now under way was instigated by his donation of nearly one-fourth of the amount required to construct it. It can almost be said that he has created a new town, and he takes as much pride in the success of every busi- ness enterprise here as though he were fi- nancially interested in it. His idea is to keep the boom moving until 15,000 inhabit- ants shall be within its borders and the in- dications are now that he will realize it. Personally, Col. Blees is an intellectual, studious-looking man; pale features, dark eyes, hair and mustache. He is about 37 years old, just in the prime of his man- hood. He dresses faultlessly and is as pened was a good sword and well tried, and his experience acquired in the German Army in handling light ordnance would have been of much value to the American arma. Through eome misunderstanding with the authorities, however, his offer was not ac- cepted. He soon after left on a visit to Ger- many, and while away the Republicans of the First Congressional! District nominated him for Congress. When he returned representatives of the party met in his of- fices and officially informed him of the honor that had been accorded him by the Hannibal convention. But the Colonel de- clined. He was too busy with his business affairs. \ Incidents of the Colonel’s generosity are innumerable. He delights In ent his friends, and he and his wife have freely of their wealth at Macon. The Cole nel's most recent exploit occurred ” Thanksgiving Day, when he chabtered epecial train on the Wabash to take a party of St. Louls friends to hia Macon home The train consisted of an engine and @ par- lor and baggage car, and it was given of way through, and it made the run of miles in three hours and & minutes. it made but a single stop en route, and that was at Moberly, where the Colonel joined the party. The guests eo honored were Mr and Mrs. A. L. Steinmayer, Mr. and Mra, Steiffel, Miss Lillian Handlan. Miss Edne Steinmayer and H. H. Natalane. Col. Blees desired that the train should eclipse all previous records between St. Louis and Macon, and as a reward of their success he gave to each of the trainmen a handsome watch charm or stick pin. Te H, BE. Watts, the Macon ticket agent, he gave a gold matchbox with diamond set- tings; to W. D. Bt , the chief dispatch- er, a solid gold stick pin, with a telegraph instrument in miniature; to J. W. Canatsy, the conductor, a stick pin bearing a little gold ticket punch; to Christian @mith, the engineer, a pin bearing a little gold loce- motive with diamond headlight; to John Edwards, the fireman, a pin set with a gold steam gauge, and to the colored por ter a $10 gold piece. The gifts cost several hundred dollars. At the present term of court Col. Blees passed a highly creditable legal examina- tion and was admitted to the bar by Judge Ellison, About a year ago he added a full line of Miseourt reports to his already large law library and has been a diligent student. His interests required the almost constant services of an attorney, and, as he rather liked the profession, he thought he might as well look after that branch of the bus- iness himself, and for that reason took up the atudy, Col. Blees speaks several languages flu- - ently, is an @éxpert musician, an accom- plished dancer, a master of the broadsword and a dead shot with the revolver. Within the past two years Macon has - been one of the liveliest towns in the State, You can hardly find an unemployed me — chanic and many workmen from 6t, age ie . and Kansas City have found em in the large factories established by F. W. Bilees. It is doubtful if there is a town of its size in the State that oan show as large a percentage of improvement in — the way of commercial buildings, factor- les, residences, granitoid walks, sewerage and electric light extensions as Macon within the last few years. Its appearance last summer was that of a town that had struck a gold mine of unlimited capacity, and the coming season bids fair to rival the past. To Col. Blees is due In great measute the prosperity with which Macon t blessed. He is a millionaire who spends his mo and the major portion of it he spends Macon for the little city’s common good. Naturally he ie Known at Macon as a big- hearted man of great generosities and well beloved. ~ PROGRESS AND VANDALS HAVE DESPOILED Once the Sacred Resting reer of Men Who Had Been Prominent inS at Duncan avenue and Sarah street, established in 188, is to be aban- doned formally by the Catholic Church. In effect it has already been abandoned for several years. The ground will be sold for business purposes as soon as Archbishop Kain can clear the title and turn it over unineumbered to a purchaser. To the citizens of 60 years or even 35 years ago the name of Rock Springs was as familiar as the word Calvary is te the present generation. It was the chosen spot for the Catholic dead, and many of the most prominent sons of the church were buried there. But it was mainly filled by victims of the cholera plagues of 18498, 1854 and 1866. Gince the latter year only a few bodies have been in- terred there, The city commenced to en- croach upon the site and Calvary Cemetery was established. A more deserted place than the Rock Springs Cemetery of to-day it would be hard to find. In the embankment formed by the railway grade of the Wabash tracks along the south side the marks of the an- clent graves are plainly visible. For a long time pieces of coffins and even bones were exposed to view, The streets have divided the old ceme- tery.into three parts, which are strewn with broken headstones and fallen fences that marked the private lots. In the main divisions are two vaults. That of Roger Harty is the more pre- tentious and the better preserved. It was erected by him in 1856, but his body never rested there. It still contains four boxes, in which are pieces of cloth-covered cas. kets. The big sepulcher is trimmed with marble and at that time was the finest tomb In 8t. Louis. ° The marble now is streaked with iron rust. @ome of the slabs are twisted out of position and a large hole has been bat- tered in the northwest corner of the vault. It ‘Was built with two compartments, upper and lower. The iron fromt door to the lower one stande open. The low brick- paved room is empty. There nothing re- miéjns to show that It was ever used. The door to the main, or upper room, is fastened tight. Age has rusted the lock and wekled the hingés. ‘The hole in the rear wall Was made by vandals to enter this com- partment. The cement floor is covered with loose mortar, bricks and lumber. On a pile of bricks rest three long boxes, Which once contained the coffins of adults. Clinging to the sides of these boxes are pieces of the coffins, sides and bottoms. There are no lids, plates or handles. The coffins are strewn With bricks, sticks and Stone®?.

CHAMBERS of Charleston, IlL — UGENE FIED was born et 64 South Broadway, St. Louis, Sept. 4, 1850, and lived there 16 years. Five years ago the poet visited the place and re- marked thet he would like to carry away a door as a smal] memento, but contented himself with chipping off a piece of the banister, down which he used to slide ‘with marvelous pride and joy.’’ The place is now a rooming house. There is nothing to distinguish it from any one of eight similar houses excepting this sign on the door: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeaeee ee ee eee ; z ROOMS FOR RENT. i PRIVILBGE OF : LIGHT HOUSEKEEPING. t eeeaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ee Seeeeeeeeeoeeae ee eevee Next door to it is a saloon. In the rear of 634 is a spacious yard, in which ‘Gene Field and his younger brother, Roswell M. Field, Jr., now a journalist in Chicago, used to disport themselves in boyish fashion. But their principal playground, in common with other boys of the neigh- borhood, was the big vacant lot at the corner of Fourth and Poplar streets. Judge Roswell M. Field, the poet’s father, came to St. Louis in 18%. Eleven years later he married Miss Mary Reed, and they resided on Collins street, an avenue now almost unheard of. It extends from 219 Franklin avenue north six blocks to Flor- ida street. FYutty years ago it was one of the most fashionable residence streets in St. Louls. There Judge Field remained with his young wife until 189, when Ed- ward Walsh, the father of Julius Walsh, foreseeing that the trend of the city would be westward, undertook what was then considered a hazardous venture and erected eight three-story dwellings of 12 rooms each on Broadway, which was then “way up town,” between Cerre and Poplar streets. Judge Field was one of the first citizens to move to that neighborhood. Before long he had for his neighbors the Bogys, the Von Phuls, the Trippletts, the Gausses, the Bouviers, the De Lauriels, the Nidelets and the Leslies. These houses brought a monthly rental of $100 each. Now they are worth only $. In 186, six years after the death of his wife, Judge Field took his family to Am- hert, Mass. There it was that 'Gene Field came under the care of his aunt, Mary French, who did so much toward shaping his later life, and for whom he named his eldest daughter, Mary French Field. The residence section of St. Louis changed rapidly when the city commenced to grow in earnest, and the neighborhood of 634 South Broadway gradually de- teriorated. Families came, but remained only a short time. Finally it was con- Deereasts. a¢atsa; itt pitts: basset aes ; ee ee , J von FUGENE FIELD WAd BORN IN TrilS ST.

The old house is occasionally visited by curlosity seekers, who carry away some small memento. Whatever Field may have thought about the place, he never men- tioned it in any of his poems. Nearly all of them which refer to his own childhood, such as “‘When I Was Mary's Beau,”’ have to do with the years he lived in Massa- chusetts. COLONEL LOVELL EXCELLED HOBSON. Ol. W. & LOVELL of Palmyra, Miss., during the Civil War per- formed a feat which surpassed that of Sinker Hobson. Yet he never received a single kiss. All he got was a promotion from Captain to Major. At this late day— the Colonel is now past 70—he does not expect to be emothered with kisses from admiring females, but he wants the world to know that when it comes to sinking ves- sels to obstruct harbors there are others besides R. P. Hobson. In explanation of his long silence Col. Lovell says: “We boys just used to go along and do those little things without blowing about them.” The Colonel was a Confederate. He calls upon no less a celebrity than Gen. Joe Wheeler to witness that his statement is true, for the little general was on the ground at the time. Col. Lovell has caused the following to be published in the. Vicks- burg Herald: ‘To the Herald: In 1861 I obstructed the channel] of Pensacola harbor, between Fort Pickens, on Santa Rosa Island, Florida, MISS CLOTHILDE WILSON of Mattoon, IIL MISS NEVA FRENCH of Shelbyville, IIL and Fort McRea, by sinking four vessels chained together. The distance between the forts was about three-quarters of a mile. I towed the vessels out with two steamers on a dark night; passed nearly 100 guns on the battery along the beach on Santa Rosa Island. It wag so close we distinctly heard the sentinel s ng out: ‘Two o'clock, and all’s well.’ “Gen. Bragg, in command of the army at Pensacola, and other officers, said it was impossible to obetruct the channel without being discovered. I said: ‘General I think I can do it." He said: ‘Go ahead.’ I 4:4 obstruct the channel] without a shot at me, and all got back to the Pensacola navy yard. “All I got was promotion from captain to major, and not a single kiss. “For accuracy of my etatement, I refer to Major Genera) Joe Wheeler, U. 8. A.. who Was on the head steamer with me, and Capt. Lyman Aldrich of Natchez, who was in command of the guard I took out. Gen. ' Chalmers also accompanied me. I invited a number of officers to go out as my guests There is no doubt had we been discovered by the enemv we would have been blown out of the water with grape and canister “W 8. LOVELL.” The truth of thie statement !s vouched for by the editor of the Hera'd. who was a member of the Capt. Lyman Aldrich Guards. That ig, he testifies to everything except the alleged paucity of kisses. 7 -s Me ae J ey * ly y ‘ Fo y “ a. ae se Ree . : MISS EMMA HALLIDAY of Cairo, Ill —— MAKING A LIFE MASK OF A CELEBRITY. NE often odeerves when reading of the demise of a celebrity that @e mask was taken by Mr. So-and-So, the celebrated sculptor, soon after death, but really very few people know how this ie carried out. They might have some idea that plaster of paris is put over the Gead man's face, but there the idea ends. A mask from life t& taken almost pre- ¢isely in the same way as after death, Save that much greater care has to be used. as the subject's life hangs on a very thin ‘thread, or, to be more precise, two @mali quilis. It requires a great deal of merve and patience to undergo, the sensa- tion being most disagreeadie. When a mask from life its about to be secured, and towels are placed around his neck and forehead to prevent the pilaster going where not intended. The face ‘|s slightly | but not enough to fill the pores of the akin: ‘Care has to be especially with the as otherwise in 4 ze subsequent operations, these are likely to be pulled off, which would not be ex- actly pleasant. A small quill is now in- éerted in either nostril to allow the sub- gece to breathe through and cotton wool lahtiy pressed around the base to keep the liquid pilaster from intruding. A pair of scissors is always kept handy, so as to be able to cut off the tops of the quilis should by any chance the plaster splash up and cover them. All being ready, «4 few cheering words are spoken to the unhappy victim and the plaster is mixed. This ts carefully poured or sprinkled over the features. The plaster, through being mixed with warm water, quickly hardens, and in the course of about five minutes the mold is etrong enough to be taken off. It haa to be carefully done, as the subject is generally #0 very eager to get a mouth- ful of fresh alr once again. A slight tap with the hand is given to the two side pieces, which relieves the joints made »y the thread. The top or central piece is then lifted up and pulled slightly down- ward, #0 a4 to withdraw the mold. The sides are then taken off. Probably some of the hair may hold the mold, but with a littie coaxing, or ° the ors it can soon be remo OF aiaiatacindniutn untiinn dane nani POET once owned the Dominion of Canada. Think of that! He was Lord Stirling. who made a great hit with King James I., of England. In Sep- tember, 1621, being in a generous mood, King James, who was as short on geo- graphical knowledge as some men are on hair, made Lord 6tirling, who was then Sir Willlam Alexander, a present of the whole of Canada. The gift, which included Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, was con- firmed by Charles I., and the poet was so greatly moved by the high honor he had re- celved that he published “An Encourége- ment to Colonies," a work which reached its third. edition. The gift became the sub- ject of interesting legal proceedings and In fact, nearly the whole of North America has been, at some time, in the possession of one or more favorites of roy- alty. If a King happened to admire one of his friends he would give him «4 alice of the New World. New York, for example, 0 years after it had been sold for &, was presented, with other lands, to the Duke of York, by his brother, the King, and the name of the city is a witness this day to that transaction. The Duke grented New Jersey to somebody else, and a few years previously the King had carved out Mary- land for Lord Baltimore. Pennsylvania was given to William Penn, the Quaker who founded the State, in pay- ment of a debt which Charies Il. owed Penn's father, and the same monarch gave both North and South Carolina to eight London gentiemen, who stayed at home, called themselves the Lords Proprietors and lived on the rents until the people threw off the yoke, and George Il. took over the colonies. The story of Col. Talbot, the Cec‘l Rhodes of Canada at the beginning of this cen- tury, is one of the romances of Canadian history. The Colone] went out in 17% as an aid-de-camp to the Governor, and the founding of a colony became the ruling passion of his life. He was given 100,00 acres, which grew later on to 60.000, on condition that he placed « settier on every 200 acres. To-day this territory is occupied\ by some of the most fourishing towns in the Domir Queen's reign Col.

MAGUIRE’'S Friday M afterncon tea in honor of Miss Irene Bond was the most notable afternoon affair of the latter part of the week. Mrs. Maguire's home on Longfellow boule- vard is a beautiful place and well adapted to entertaining in this fashion. The drawing rooms were effectively deco- rated with tropical palms and shrubs, with an oceasional sheaf of American beauties on the’ mantelpiece or a bric-a-brac cabi- net. In the dining- room the table was cov- ered with a blanket of smilax and whits carnations, looped up at the corners with broad red satin ribbons. In the center was a huge brass candelabrum, wreathed with smilax, supporting twelve crimson tapers. Mrs. Maguire, gowned in black net and orange veivet, was assisted in receiving by her attractive sister, Miss Edith Fran- eiscus, whe wore biack net with trimmings of pink silk and pink chenille.

BIT of sad news which threw 4 A shadow on the Butterfly Kingdom last week was the unexpected death of Mrs. Flora Pike Hirsch of Chamberiain avenue. Mrs. Hirsch was a young and talented woman, who had always been a great.power in the musical world, and was of more than local repute as a singer. It is always difficult to express a deep sorrow or regret in bald words, but it may be understood how sincerely Mrs. Hirsch is mourned when one considers how many riends she had in St. Louis, as well as in New York, Philadelphia and Boston. Mrs. Hirsch was the daughter of Mr. E. S. Pike, who is prominent among the suc- cessful business men of this city. Mrs. Ferguson’s Card Party.

Miller and Aid will leave St. Louls {n March, and Harker will go some time during the summer. Miller is a eon of R. L. Miller of #4 Connecticut avenue; Aid ts a son of Fran- cis Ald of 3660 Blaine avenue, and Harker is a son of George H. Harker of 2940 La- clede avenue. These young men, will be the first pro- teges of the St. Louls Art Student's Asso- clation. Some years ago the Association established a scholarship fund for this pur- pose, and subscriptions have been made to it ever since» When the tornado came the Association had quite a sum on hand, but almost all of it was generously de- voted to the relief of members reduced to need. Since then the Association has de- voted several hundred dollare to the schol- arship fund, and this money will be given Miller and Aid, together with the profits of a concert to be given at Memorial] Hall, in the Art School bullding, Feb. 16. The concert will be given under the aus- pices of the Artists’ Guild and the Art Students’ Association, and upon {ts success will depend in a great measure the success of the plan to send Miller and Aid to france in March. Musicians in accord with the movement have volunteered their ser- vices for the evening. They are Mrs. Blair, Mrs. Van Studdiford, Mr. Griffith, Mr. Rohan, Mr. Vieh and Guido Parisi. Bubsequent additions to the fund during Loulsane who were unt!l recently scholarship, but it will do the best it can, ahd they will themselves provide the bal- ance. The young men will study illustrat- ing and painting, and their studies in Paris will cover a period of not less than two years. The favor of the Assocation came to them entirely without solicitation, It was decided to give some one the benefit of the money in hand and what should be added during the year, and a committee selected to make the appointments chose Harker, Aid and Miller to go. The choice was made in consideration of thelr good work as students In the Art School. The Paris scholarships undertaken by the Art Students’ Association were introduced in St. Louis in 1882, when John Fry, now an artist in Paris, and a member of the jury of selection at the Columbian Exposition, was sent to Paris upon a partial scholar- ship. In 1884 the university sent Mary Falr- child, now Mrs. MacMonnies of Paris, wife of the noted sculptor. Miss Fairchild was given a full scholarship of $600, and she fully attained the skill hoped for her by her benefactors. She was in Paris three years, and became in that time one of the foremost of American artists. She deco- rated one of the elaborate arches in the Woman's Building at the Columbian Expo- sition. The parallel arch was decorated by *Mary Cassat, another of America’s leading artists. Miss Fairchilds was the last stu- dent sent to Paris by Washington Univer- sity. Messrs. Miller, Aid and Harker are mem- bers of the St. Louls Art Students’ Asso- ciation and the Artists’ Guild of St. Louls, and they have exhibited with the Artists’ Guild, the Society of Western Artists and the St. Louis Exposition. Their work in and out of school has been of such a char- acter that the Art Students’ Association considers them deserving. Ree ee WHERE THE WORLD'S FAIR OF 1903 SHOULD BE HELD. St. Louis Men of Weafth and Judgment Discuss Probable Sites, With Arguments to Sustain Them. — to steamers coming from the en- OW that the convention of the States and Territory has voted to St. Louls the Louisiana Centennial Fair and Louls have ap- proved the project and undertaken the ac- tual work of organization and subscriptfon. the people of St. Louls are eager to know something of the site for the great fair. This matter is naturally in a merely sug- gestive state. It has not been discussed in any of the committee meetings. It was not discussed at the convention of tho States. There are matters of greater and N more immediate concern before the pro- moters of the fair. The subscription of $5,000,000 by the people of St. Louls must be advanved to a favorable etatus; an ap- propriation of $2,500,000 by the city of St. Louls must be urged upon the Municipal Assembly; another appropriation of $5,000,- 000 must be asked of Congress within the next 3 days; a third appropriation of $2,500,000 must be asked of the Missouri Legislature before the end of the session; appropriations by the separate and several States must be urged very soon, for their Legislatures will begin ere long to adjourn, and very few of them will meet again for two years. All in all the promoters of the fair have a prodigious work before them, and until it is done they will have little time for aught else. And yet the people of 8t. Louls are talking of the site for the fair, and some of the members of the Citizens’ Committee are talking of it. Suggestions, some good and some bad, have been made, and once the matter of money is out of the way, the location of the fair will become the chief theme of loval interest. The suggestions made cover three sites. One of them is a tract on the west, or thé north or southwest edge of the city; the Becond is the highlands facing the river at the north end of the-city, and the third the Diuffs overlooking the river at the south end. Members of the committee have dis- cussed these suggestions very little. “We are Waiting to see how much of a tract we shall need," says ex-Governor Francis, the President of the Executive Committee. “Chicago had 60 acres. Chicago had a big fair fund. We want even more than 60 @crés, but We cannot have use for so large ® tract unlees We can secure a big fair fund. When the subscription and appro- priation work hay advanced to a favorable Siatus we @hall know how big a fair it Will be posefblie for us to have. We want to make it the biggest fair the world has seen, and if we succeed we may need ae much as twice the acreage covered by the Columbian Exposition at Chicago.” Mr, Benjamin Liseman, president of tne Rice, Stix Dry Goods Co., and a member of the Citizens’ Committee, says: “I should Iike to see the Fair located upon the river front—upon the bluffs either nortn or south of the city. I hardly see how we could reconcile ourselves to going away from the river, It’ts not the river it might be; i, is not so beautiful as the Missiasipp! above the mouth of the Missouri; its Waters ure muddy and too swift, but it ts our river, the river that has made wt. Louis the great natural commercial artery of Loulviana and the grandest river on @arth, and I should like, without offering _ the suggestion in any capacity save tnat a citizen and a &t. Louisan interested Buccess of the Fair and the glory attachin to Bt. Louts trom it, to see tne Rt ee SWE ate Sa se 0 : 4 : - a 8 God pe r eye hae tae | tire length of the great river and the head- waters of all its tributaries.”’ Mr. Anthony Ittner, another member of the committee, says: “T have heard a number of suggestions as to where the Fair might be located. ‘Tne suggestion which suits me best is that it occupy a tract of land in the West End. Just where, of course, is unimportant so long as it be easily and centrally accessi- ble from the city. My objection to a site either north or south of the city is that every avenue of access to the Fair grounds would lead through the least picturesque and presentable part of the city. We could not get them to either the Bellefontaine or Jefferson Barracks bluffs without taking them through the manufacturing and tene- ment districts of the city, and these dis- tricts they do not care to see and we do not care to exhibit. But with the Fair out in the country west of the city, we should exhibit to every visitor going to and fro the prettiest portions of St. Louis, and it would leave with them splendid+ impres- sions. I make this suggestion as a mere private suggestion. The promoters of the Fair, I suppose, will appoint a committee which shall give this matter thorough de- liberation and locate the Fair upon lines ot etrict business prudence.”’ Ex-Mayor Cyrus P. Walbridge, another member of the committee, says: “So far as I know there has been no talk of this matter at the committee meet- ings. Some suggestions have come from without, but the committee, for reasons which must be apparent, has held t?e mat- ter of location in abeyance until the funds for the Fair shall have been subscribed. “When the time comes, I do not doubt that the men having this phase of the Fair in charge will have their attention called to a world of sites. Almost any of the city parks, with some extension, will suffice. I have heard much favorable comment upon the proposition to lovate the Fair upon a tract covering the unimproved west end of Forest Park and the ground itmmedi- ately west of it. This idea has impressed me favorably, but propositions of much greater merit may, of course, be presented to the proper committee when the time for choosing a site shall come. This is the least of the difficulties of the promoters of the Fair—the most remote source of their concern—and it will be the last item of business, I should think, upon their sched- ule.’’ Mr. William J. Seever, Secretary of the Missouri Historical Society, and the Citi- zens’ Committee, says: “It will bea matter of gratification to the community if the Fair could be located in a& part of the city where the development and improvemente attaching to it are need- ed. Wherever the Fair goes wil! go the best streets, sewers, sanitation, lighting and water service, and when the Fair ends, these things will be there to be made a permanency in thet part of the olty. Oth- erwise we shall waste what need not be wasted. This is the plan upon which the = gaan peg their centennial for . © plan upon which every great Fair, involving as it does the ex- penditure of millions of dollars, should be built. I hardly belleve the proposition to locate the Fair upon the river bluffs to be practicable, The river at St. Louis is @ stream of such currents and its waters are ¢€0 muddy that we could scarcely hope to utilize them to any great extent upon the grounds. On the other hand, we could have upon a Fair Ground out on the other edge of the city all the Water effecta neces- Bary to make the Fair favorably compare in this respect with the sticcess of thia I[n- novation at Ohicago.

Why, so did I. But I was before your time. I say, do you remember the peanut trick?’’ ' “Indeed I do. Wasn't it the very first thing they taught us before they turned us loose? Everybody knew that. Why, it doubled the output. I remember once I didn’t jam them tight enough and they fell through just as I was about to turn them into the pocket of a countryman. O, wasn't he mad! .Wouldn’t buy the nuts, and cautioned every one on the car against me. Said I was a sharper and roused things generally.’’ The peanut trick of the old-time train boy was executed as follows: The tin measures which the boys used were long and narrow, They tapered gradually, be- ing slightly smaller at the top than at the bottom. In filling a measure the boy would push it rapidly through the peanuts in the open basket. A few nuts would rattle in- side, but almost immediately a dozen or two would jam or wedge in the narrow mouth of the measure. When lifted up the measure would ap- pear to be full, and, as the trick would said Mr. Edison. ‘I was What road did you run , me, ~~ TUMOR EXPELLED. Unqualified Success of Lydia E.

They forgot the triumphs and cares of their after lives, and the rest of the company present listened to the rem- iniscences of the days when the greatést inventor of the world sold newspapers and peanuts, “Curious how these things come back to you,”” said Mr. Edison. “I remember a funny thing that occurred on one of the old three-car trains. In my day, you know, they used to run trains made up of three coaches—a baggage car, a smoking car and what we called the ladies’ car. The laglies’ car was always last in the string. “Well, one day I was carrying my basket of nuts and apples through the ladies’ car — hadn't sold a thing so far—when I no- ticed two young fellowes sitting near the rear end of the car. They were dandies, what might be called dudes now, but we called them ‘stiffles’ in those days. They were young Southerners up North on a lark, as I found out afterward. Behind them sat a negro valet, who had a large iron-bound box beside him on the seat. “The young men were complaining of the dullness of things. When I reached the Southerners I asked.them {ff they wanted some. ‘No! replied the fellow nearest to ‘We do not, and furthermore we are not going to have any,’ whereupon he grabbed the basket out of my hands and dumped the nuts and applies out of the window. “For a moment I was too Surprised to speak. Then I yelled at him in a way that made everybody jump around. I did not say anything, I just yelled at him on gen- eral principles. “*What's the matter, boy?’ he said when IT etopped, Some of the passengers laughed; others were indignant and some who had not seen his action simply looked at me in amazement. “Look here, boy,” said the young man, ‘how much were they worth?’ “*O, about a dollar, I guess,’ @aid I. “He turned tc the negro on the next seat. Reet ess ape said he, ‘give this boy a dol- ar.’ “The negro grinned and turning to the box beside him he opened it. It was full of money and valuables. He took out a dol- lar and gave it to me. I took it and walked up the car. I was still surprised. At the door I looked back at them, and everybody laughed at me for some reason—al) except the young men; they never even smiled dur- ing the whole performance. “Well, I filled up my basket with prize packages and come back through the train. Nobody bought any of them. When I reached the Southerner, however, he gaid ‘Excuse me, sir,’ and grabbing the basket again he sent the prise packages after the peanuts. I did not yell this time. I simply said: ‘Look here, mister, do you know how much those are worth?’ “ ‘No,’ sald he, ‘how much? “ "Well, there were three dozen, and four at 10 cents for each one, not to mention the prizes in some of them.’ “"O,” he sald, ‘Nicodemus, count up how much the boy ought to have and give it to him.’ “The negro opened his box and gave me H, and again I went away with the empty bask®t, while the passengers laughed. “Next I brought in some morning papers, and nobody bought these, either.

Nicodemus settled up. “Then I had an idea, I went into the bag- gage car and got every paper I could find. I had a lot of that day’s stock and over 100 returns of the day before, which I was going to turn in at the end of the run. The whole lot was so heavy that I could just manage to carry it on my shoulder. ‘When I etaggered into the ladies’ car and called ‘Paper!’ in the usual drawling way the passengers fairly shrieked with laughter. I thought the Southerner would back down, but he never fi!nched. He just grabbed those papers and hurled them out of the window by the armful. I got over $10 for all my papers. “That dandy was game. ‘Look here, boy,’ he said, when the passengers hed seen the last of those papers afloat around a curve; ‘have you anything else on board?’ “‘Nothing except the basket and my box,’ 1 replied. .“*Well, bring In those, too.’ “You remember the big 3x4 boxes they used to give us to keep our goods, in?

He threw the basket out of the window, but the box was too b'g to go that way, so he ordered Nicodemus to throw it off the rear plat- form. I charged him $3 for that box. When it had gone he turned to me and e6aid: “ ‘How much money have you mae to- day?’ “I counted up over $2 Nicodemus given me. “ ‘Now,’ he said, ‘are you sure you have nothing more to sell?’ “T would have brought tn the smoking ear stove if it had not been hot. But I was compelled to say there was really noth- ing more. “Very well!’ And then, with a ohange in his tone, he turned to the negro and said: ‘Nicodemus, throw this boy out of the window’ ‘The passengere shrieked with laughter, but I got out of that car pretty quick, 1 can tell you.

By Richard Perry. EVERAL years ago a difficulty oc- S curred between the Recorder of Liver- pool and an attorney in open court. The contest became so bitter that it re- sulted in the attorney being ordered out of court. When court adjourned the two men met again on the sidewalk and the quarre! was renewed. The attorney called the Recorder a blackguard. In return he received a kick in the back. It was at a time when party spirit ran high In England, and the men be- longed to different parties, so it was made & great thing of and resulted in the Re- corder being indicted for assault and bat- tery. Sir James Scariett was employed by the attorney to come down from London and attend to the prosecut.on. At that time there was a little Welsh barrister riding the North Circu't. He was a frvend of the Recorder. He had but little practice and was nicknamed “Johnny” by his fellow lawyers. A few Gays vefore the case came on the Recorder went to his friend and sald: “Johnny, | want you to defend me in this case ore * : " * is aot an orate 4] — . as Has Bh eas a i > 8 a Be He, S33 “ — .
