NEW YORK, Jan, 22.—In the last six months fortunes aggregating $815,693.591 have been made in Wall! street. Increase in valuations of all the bonds and stocks listed on the Stock Exchange aggre- gates that enormous sum. It in money nearly three times that of all the gold dug out of the earth for a year. The total gold output of all the gold producing countries in the world for 1897 was $237,- The increase in value of only a small group—23 in number—of the most ac- tive stocks alone was well on toward TRUM GEN, OTIS Washington Officials Are Plainly Worried. ALL DISPATCHES CENSORED. CABLEGRAMS FROM MANILA NOT MADE PUBLIC. There Seems to Be Little Prospect of a Peaceable Settlement With The Filipinos in the Near Future. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—The censorship over news from the Philippines is as rigid The total | /as it ever was over military and naval oper- ations at any time while the Spanish war |} Was on. represents | double thiss amount. The history of WaM Street, of the world in fact, has nothing to equal this prodig- ous piling up of fortunes. The Eldorado in ‘49, the rioting in wealth which followed the opening up of the Australian and African gold fields, the Klondike, the South African diamond mines—all these rolled into one have noth- ing to parallel the deluge of wealth which poured down upon that one little’ corner of New York known as the ‘‘Wall Street re- gion.’’ And it is not merely the croesuses who '‘ have profited. Dozens and dozens of “little fellows” have darted into the tumultuous torrent of speculation and darted out again, hugging to their breasts fortunes ranging from tens to hundreds of thou- sands. The bigger plungers brought up millions” The croesuses, the Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts, the Sages, have landed millions that are counted un anywhere from the tens to the thirties.

Special to the Post-Dispatcn. MANSFIELD, Mo., Jan. 23.—Sheriff Can- trell of Wright County went to Springticla last night and brought down this morning J. C. Wright, alias Kennedy, to stand his preliminary hearing for robbing the K. C., Ft. S. and Memph’s passenger train at Ma- comb. The case was called at 10 o’clock be- fore Justice F. M. Kittrell. The State is represented by Attorneys R. L. Goode, T. P. McGregor, W. J. Orr, Pros- ecuting Attorney H. H. Ball and F. M. Mansfield. The defendant is represented by Attorneys Blair, T. J. Delaney, T.

The defendant’s at- torneys have asked that Bill Ryan or ‘‘Jen- n-ngs,”’ and Shepard, his alleged associates, be produced in court to testify in Kennedy’s behalf, thereby showing the weakness of their case and the desperate lengths to which they must go to get any evidence for their client. The counsei of both sides is remarkably strong. The town is again full of strangers, wit- nesses, officials and interested parties, aud much excitement is evidenced. SAYS HE IS NOT RYAN.

He Is Willing to Part With the Union Depot Electric Lines for Four Million Dollars. The figure which John Scullin has named as the selling price of the Union Depot electric system is said to be $4,000,000, or about $135 a share. Broker James Campbell’s mission out of the city is said to be in connection with the closing up of the deal as far as the Scul- lin interests are concerned, by which Brown Bros. of New York secure Ttontrol of the St. Louis street railroads, as exclusively foreshadowed in. the Post-Dispatch last week. At Mr. Campbell's office it is not admitted that he is farther away than Jop- lin from St. Louis, although the belief is current that he is in Chicago or New York. Three weeks. ago representatives of Brown Bros. examined the books of the Union Depot Co Last week representa- tives of the Baltimore syndicate, fostered by the Hambleton people, asked a similar privilege and asked that a price be put on the lines. Brown Bros. have already secured a price or option on the Southern line and recently gobbled up the Baltimore Street Railroad for $26,000,000. A LETTER FROM AGONCILLO.

The prisoner was angry when hé read in a morning paper a story to.the effect that Saturday night he had confessed himself to be Ryan. He denicd that he had made such an admission. In init he is corroborated by Milton Hooper, ‘er. Mliton Hooper, jailer, was a witness to the interview that resulted in the publica- tion of the story that Ryan had confessed his identity. Here is what Mr. Hooper $a.78:*: “Ryan, or Jennings, did not make any ad- missions at all. The most he said was that the reporters might write as much as they pleased about him, for he didn’t care what the papers said. That was the only foundation for the story, so far as I can see, and since the train robbers have been in jail here I have heard almost every con- versation they have held with outsiders. The prisoner may be Bill Ryan or he may I don’t know about that but I do know that he has never admitte T - — | COMPRESSED NR COMPANY, Broker Blessing Not Ready to Give the Names. NEW MOTIVE POWER FOR CITIES STREET RAILWAYS AND WAGONS WILL BE TRANSFORMED. Electricity to Be Superseded and a Number of St. Louisans Fig- uring on the Purchase of Stock. The St. Louis of five years hence will be a wonderful place if the plans of the St. Louis Auto-Truck Company, now being or- ganized, are carried out. The news of the movement to form this company was published exclusively in the Post-Dispatch three weeks ago and the an- nouncement that a $5,000,000 corporation would soon be formed was printed only by the Post-Dispatch Sunday morning. It is positively known that a number of St. Louis capitalists, some of them promi- nently connected with local street railways, have pledged themselves to subseribe for stock in the big concern, the object of which is to introduce compressed air to supplant electricity as a motive power. he scope of the enterprise is most exten- sive. As stated in Sunday’s Post-Dispatch the St. Lou's corporation wilkbe a branch of the company being formed by Richard Croker in’ New York. It will aspire to serve both the Federal and Municipal Gov- renments, in addition to vending its power to existing street railway and drayage cor- porations. The negotiations with the United States Government will look to the facilitating of the delivery and transportation of mail be- tween the main postoffice and the sub- stations. Letters and packages are now sent from the postoffice to the stations by wagon. The company now being formed in St. Louis will offer to effect this trans- portation of mail by means of compressed air through pneumatic tubes. A proposi- tion will aiso be made to eauip each letter box with a pneumatic tube attachment, con- necting it with the .postoffice, so that a letter dropped in the box will be con- veved at once to the central office. To make this possible it will be neces- sary for the company to obtain from the city valuable franchises permitting the laying of tubes under the streets. In partial compensation for these privi- leges it will offer to perform important services for the city. Among these will be the equipment of the fire engines and the police patrol wagons and ambulances with the new motive power. corporation will be to do away with the horse entirely as a servant of the city. This. it is said, will be done on terms which will repay the municipality for the franchise concessions asked by the com- pany. In addition to this proffered service to the government and the city, the new com- at the High School, arranged to take his» of the varidus stations will meet the Post- | pany will endeavor to absorb the drayage business of the city to a large extent. It is stated positively that one move: con- templated is the equipment of the wagons of the St Louis Transfer Co. with com- pressed air motors. Officers of the com- any say that no definite proposition look- ng to this end has been made, though brokers agree that even though the Bt. Louis Transfer Co.’s officials have not been approached, the project is contem- plated by those at the other end of the deal. That the substitution of compressed air for electricity is looked upon with favor by certain Jocal street railway magnates is not denied. The absence from the city of Corwin H. Spencer, one of the two own- ers of the Hamilton Syndicate lines, led to the rumor that he was in New York con- ferring with the representatives of the same persons who recently purchased the Lindell and Missouri lines and who are also the promoters of the Philidelphia Auto- Truck Co. The greatest secrecy as to Mr. Spencer’s whereabouts was maintained at his office Monday. His partner, Thomas Akin, said: “Mr. Spencer is out of town. He may be in New York and he may be in Chicago. Passibly he ts somewhere else. You'll find out where he has been when he returns Wednesday.” The numes of the St. Louisans interested in the new St. Louis Auto-Truck Company are carefully guarded. The repository of the secret is broken. John H. Blessing, who says matters have not progresged far enough to justify the disclosure of the, names of his clients. “The company is being formed,” said Mr. | Blessirg. ‘It is well under wa and no. doubt it will be incorporated. think it probable that satisfactory arrangements will be made with transfer and drayage companies by which those concerns will work in conjunction with the new corpora- D. R. Francis said Monday: have not as yet interested myself financially in any uto-Truck Company. I believe compressed air a good thing and have said so in my speeches. simply be- cause I felt that the same scientific prog- ress is to be looked for in the future as has manifested itself in the past.

HAS SQUANDERED HIS WEALTH. William H. Brockaway Claims to Have Written the Music That Made Scanlan’s Fortune. Peek-a-Boo! Peek-a-Boo! Come from behind the ch~ir. Peek-a-Boo! Peek-a-Boo! I see you hiding there, O, you rascal! es . These lines were sung Monday morning by William H Brockaway a patient in the observation ward at the City Hospital. As all playgoers know the late William J. Scanion made the song famous. He wrote the words, but few are aware that poor William Brockaway claims and with some show of proof, to have constructed the music of ‘‘Peek-a-Boo.”’ Brockaway is not crazy, but he is in the City Hospital because he drank too freely Sunday. He was perfectly sober Monday when a reporter called, and Hospital Super- intendent Nietert had consented to his dis- charge. “I was born in New York City 4 years ago,”’ said Brockaway. “I have been a musician all my life and so was my father before me. My grandfather was Horace A. Brockaway, leader of the Cadet Band at the Military Academy on the Hudson. “I was connected. with Dan Bryant's Min- strels for many years. Dan Bryant and my father were great friends, and he took much interest in me. I was with Scanlon for five years. When he wrote the words to Peek-a-Boo he showed them to me and I fixed up the music. My name is on the eong sheet and I have hundreds of letters to prove that I am teiling the truth. “Scanlon made nearly half a million dol- / WILLIAM H. BROCKAWAY.

Later he played “Peek- a-Boo”’ on a mandolin which Dr. Eyefman loaned him. “HOODOOED” THE MACHINE. Cross-Eyed Man With Red Hair Got Weighed, Then the Scales Blew Up. The top of a nickel-in-the-slot machine in the main waiting room at Union Station was blown off Monday by a sudden break- age in the machine. The malleable iron cover has a small rod attched to it. The rod became de- tached from the machinery and forced up the cover. The cover bounded inte the air and fell to’the floor with great force. The waiting room was crowded and peo- le scattered in all directions. Ti Was be. ileved that an expnosion had taken piace. Electrician Tevenbum was called to re- pair the machinery.

Whitecotton of Monroe County was at the hotel, en route to Jefferson City. He greeted the mem- bers of the committee. ney # It is probable the committee will find it necessary to hold a few secret Se@ss5:0N5, The reason given for them is that a num- ber of valuable witnesses have declared they will testify only in secret session. Some of the executive sessions, too, wiil be necessary in arranging the plan of investi- gation, The committee will endeavor to so ar- range its investigation as to avoid any delays. For instance, it will probably start with some office in which it is necessary to examine books and papers. Having started the expert accountants at this work, the committee can start some other line of in- vestigation which requires oral testimony, The variovs lines of investigat.on will be so dovetaijed as to make the most econ- omical use of time. : As the morning progressed the crowd in the lobby of the hotel increased. If the members of the committee were inclined to vanity they might feel much flattered by the interest their presence in the city ex- cited. It was noticable that few Republicans were in the throng.. Andy Brown had a talk with Senator Burkhead. While they were conversing, ex-Senator Klene joined them. Mr. Klene later met Senators Ho- henschild, Major and Childers, with whom he was astociated two years ago in the Senate. Those who knew Mayor Ziegenhein well are a little surprised that he has not com- municated with the committee in some Way and oftered them the hospitalities of the city. The committee will probably decide to use a rvom at the new City all for its sessions, but although that interition has been known some time, no move has been made by the Mayor or any other city ot- ficial toward opening the way for the use of a room. Many friends of. the Mayor hoped he would adopt a policy of bluff good-nature toward the committee, but he has not done so, The committee Monday morning secured the use of parior 25 at the hotel for the sessions until another ean be secured. There several meinbers of the eommittee passed most of the morning. Time did not hang heavy with them. A host of applicants for positions swarmed about the hotel. They sought interviews with members. of the committee whenever the opportunity afforded. A large number of these place-hunters were stenographers. Some of the appli- cants were Republicans. An enterprising feminine stenographer was at the hotel and when the committee met in parlor 2 they found a dozen red blotters, bearing her’ name, on the table. Ex-Auditor Joseph Brown was among those who paid his respects to the commit- tee. Virgil Rule called on Senator Major in his private room, and after a short conference, joined the bunch of loungers .in parlor 25. Senator Walker returned to the hotel just before noon. Senator Matthews was late in arriving and there were many questions about him. He is the largest man in the committee, and has a host of friends in St. Louis. The chief interest of the spectators seemed to be centered on the question of the selection of counsel for the committee. Hundreds of questions were asked on this point. Somebody asked Senator Burkhead who he wanted to be the counsel. “T have no preference, so far as men Z0o,”’ he said, “but I do want him to be honest, fearless and competent. I care nothing about his politics, and if I'am assured he is honest, fearless and competent, I will have no misgivings about his political af- filiations. I want the kind of an attorney rarely met with, who would defend a poor negro, from whom he could expect no fee, with as much skill, energy and trouble to himself as though he was to receive a handsome sum.”’ Sergeant-at-Arms Rixey reached § the hotel about 12:30 o'clock. The box contain- ing the blank forms of papers the commit- tee will use was carried upstairs and opened, Some of the papers will be needed before the day is ended. A MISSOURI FARMER MISSING.

Attorneys Indulged in a Heated Argu- ment Over the Admission of Sworn Statements. The taking of evidence in the suit of Receiver Stone against the directors of the Mullanphy Bank, developments in which were given exclusively in the Post-Dispatch the past three days, was resumed in the office of Referee Seddon in the Union Trust bulding. Monday at 11 o'clock. Half an hour was consumed in arguments over an objection raised by Judge Lubke; counsel for President Rottmann, to’ the submission of the alleged falsified state- ment of Sept 16, 1893, on the ground that it was immaterial and that what was sought to be established by it tended to in- criminate the witness, President J.

Referee Seddon overruled the first ground of objection and said he would rule on the second when necessity arose. The greater part of the morning session was occupied by the examination of Mr. Rottmann with reference to the alleged discrepancies between the figures in the statement of Sept. 16, 1893, and the books of the bank. These discrepancies were given fully in Saturday’s Post-Dispatch. Mr. Hoss introduced a statement dated Feb. 20, 1894. signed by Cashier Kammerer, President Rottmann and Directors El- brecht, Klages and Marks. 3 The statement gave the resources a8 $98,- 916.70 more than the general balance book gave them. President Rottmann was asked to look at the statement and the book and to say if that was a fact. He said: ‘“‘They don’t correspond, but I don't know how it is.”’ The statement represented the overdrafts to be $7.882.76, while the book gave them as $120, 150. 97. Mr. Rottmann said he ‘had no idea how the discrepancy came about, Mr. Hoss asked him if a correct state- ment of resources and liabilities could be made without including all the overdrafts. Rottmann said: “It couldd dbe done. It might not be proper, but it could be done,”’ THIRTEEN VALUABLE RINGS They Were Pawned for a Trifle by a Mysterious Woman Who Wore a Veil. Chief Desmond has in his office at the Four Courts a handsome morocco jewel case containing 13 valuable rings that he believes were stolen. : The jewels were recovered from a pawn shop where they were pawned a few days ago by a woman. She obtained $8 on the rings. They are easily worth $300. The woman who pawned them was dressed in black. She wore a heavy veil that concealed her face and she talked in a low voice while negotiating the trans- action. A description of the rings follows: One ring set with an emeraia and two pearis; one with an opal and ruby; one with two emeralds, one ruby and 16 small pearls; one with one emerald and two smali pearls; one with.two rubies and one small pear!; one with one ruby, two emer- alds surrounded with pearis; one with three rubies and. three emeralds; one with three turquoise and a small pearl; one with a turquoise and five small pearls; one with a turquoise surrounded with pearls; one with three rubies surrounded with pearls; one with two rubies and four small pearls. The Steamer Almida From Shields to New York Is Long Over- due. NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—Considerable com- ment is being made among shipping men as to the wheieabouts of the British freight steamer Aimida, which has been out 8% days from Shields for New York. She sailed from Shields on December 19, on her way from Hamburg for New York, in ballast, and was reported passing Dunnet Head, Scotland, on December 21. Since then nothing has been heard of her. The weather on the Atlantic has been so bad that there was good reason to believe she may have gone to the bottom, but when the steamer Britannia came into port last week 36 days out from Shields, it aroused the ‘hope that the Almida had a chance yet. The Almida vessel is a steel vessel of 1542 tons. WON'T TOLERATE GAMBLING, County Authorities Will Prosecute if an Attempt Is Made to Open Poolrooms at Wellston. The threatened reopening of the pool- rooms at Wellston has aroused interest at Clayton. The general opinion is that after their defeat of last year the bookmakers will not make another attempt. Chief Campbell has arranged to have a man on the scene to immediately notify tions. If bets are taken the Sheriff will at once swWear out warrants and arrest all concerned. It is the firm intention of the county authorities to prevent the pool- rooms from operating in the county, FOR FARM STATISTICS: Flan to Get Reports of Value of Products.

Three Daring Thieves in Search of Val- uable Lead Pipe. A daring theft was perpetrated by three men for whom warrants were issued Mon- day morning. Though they could only be charged with petit larceny, under the law, the man they robbed says he will lose sev- eral hundred dollars as the result of the peculations. The house at 4587 Gibson avenue was loot. éd by daylight and so badly damaged that it will be unfit for occupancy until exten. 6:ve repairs are made. Ernest Barber and Jacob Horton, negroes, acknowledge they did the damage and say they were in the house for hours before they were detected. The building, which is vacant, is owned by C. J. Christopher, who lives directly opposite the house. The ne- groes, according to their statement, en- tered the house at 2:30 o’clock Saturday aft- ernoon. They were captured at 6 oclock by Policeman Miller of the Mounted D.s- trict. They had in their possession a quan- tity of lead pipe. Investigation showed the house had been literally torn to pieces. In order to get at the pipe the men had removed flooring and plastering throughout the house. A large quantity of pipe which they had removed was found in the parlor. They said they in- tended to return for it with a wagon. As6 the value of the goods found on them was less than $30, a warrant charging only petit larceny was issued. VICTORY FOR THE DEAD MAN Judge Spencer Holds That a Judgment Procured Against a Defunct Person Is Inyalid. Judge Spencer decided Monday that a judgment against a man after his death has no legal force. The case before the court was that of the Weller Maanufacturing Co. against the estate of Olford N. Eton. The plaintiff was seeKing to enfore against the estate a judgment which it had procured against Eton in Illinois after his death, “Dead men cannot appear in court either by attorney or in person; nor at common law could jpdgment be rendered against them, which were of any force,’’ said Judge Spencer in his opinions. ‘The IIli- nois court had no jurisdiction over the de- fendant at the time of this judgment at that want of jurisdiction, though denied in Illinois; can still be shown in Missouri and, when shuwn, is a complete defense to the judgment.” EXTRA SESSION IN SIGHT. Senator Thurston Thinks It Necessary to Pass the Treaty. NEW YORK, Jan. 23.~—In an interview summing up the situation of the peace treaty Senator Thurston of Nebraska says: “Should it appear March 4 that there are no more votes in sight for the treaty than now, I assume that there will be an extra session. Then ratification will be certain, for with the newly elected Senators we shall have more than the necessary two- thirds majority. “To-day 40 Republican Senators favor ratification, while Senators Hoar, Hale and Mason seem to be opposed to the treaty. We require, therefore, 20 votes from Dem- ocrats and Pepulists. I do not know how many of these will finally vote in the af- firmative. Democratic opponents seem de- termined, if they can, to force the Repu- licans to a declaration of purpose; that is, to state positively what shall be done with the islands after they have actually become ours. “As a matter of fact, the islands really belong to us now. After the ratification of the treaty. Congress and the President may, in my judgment, be safely intrusted with the task of determining whether they shall have self-government or remain American dependencies. Under no consid- eration should any of them be returned to Spain, “I do not understand that Senator Gor- man is unalterably opposed to keeping the territory acquired by conquest, but he in- sists that there shall be ample opportu- nity for debate.’”’ Senator Gorman had nothing to say for publication. HEATHENISM IN HAWAII. ~= — —-- => The Shinto and Buddhist Priests Are Particularly Active.

JOHN HOERMANN WENT TO AID. “YIRED WILDLY AND KRAEMER WAS MORTALLY WOUNDED. @oermann Was the Old Man’s Room- mate and Is Frantic With Grief Over the Ac-. cident. Sylvester Kraemer, an old and highly esteemed citizen of North St. Louis, is hovering between life and death in the City Hospital. He was shot Sunday night by his friend John Hoermann, while struggling with a negro highwayman in the rear yard of his home, #401 North Broadway. The bullet, Hoermann declares, was in- tended for the footpad. The facts bear out his contention. In the struggle the negro assaulted his victim with a blunt instrument, breaking his nose in two places and inflicting severe bruises about the face and head. Kraemer a coal dealer, 71 years old, and unmarried. He has bachelor apart- ments at the number given. Hoermann, who is about £0 years old, lives with him. Shortly after 8 o’clock Sunday night Kraemer encountered the negro in his 1s SYLVESTER KRAEMER. back yard. He was a burly fellow and Kraemer feared to approach him, But as the intruder drew closer the old man sternly ‘demanded his business on the premises. reply he received a stunning blow in the f . e acre, Then the footpad commanded him to turn over his money. Kraemer refused and a desperate conflict followed. Despite his . years Sylvester Kraemer displayed wonderful strength anil yuck. He held his ground firmly against is powerful antagonist, but the odds were against nim. It was a contest of brute force, and the big negro, aided by his bludgeon, won. He struck the old man over the head twice with the weapon. The sec- ond blow staggered Kraemer and he sank to the ground, moaning with pain. Meanw)rile Hoermann, who was in the house reading, heard the old man’s pitiful ecreams, and rushed to the bureau drawer for his revolver. He stepped out on the eerres and as he did so Kraemer made a eeble effort to regain his teet. The door Was éhoved ajar, and the lamp light en on Kraemer and his fierce assail- nt.

SEVERAL NARROW ESCAPES. by Thousands of Sight- seers. NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Jan, 23.—While nearly 100 persons were on the great ice bridge in the gorge of the Niagara River the ice mass was broken loose from the banks at either end. There were thousands of Sunday sightseers in the parks and upon the upper steel arch enjoying the beauty of the crystal-like structure. They heard the cracking of the ice and saw the great mass as it was moved by the swift current of the river and hundreds shouted warning to those on the bridge. Some of these venturesome persons had only gone a short distance from the river bank while others were out in the center of the bridge and were crossing the river. Those near the end soon found safety, but further out toward the center were a num- ber of small boys. Before they were fairly started from the 'shore the great bridge was loose from its fastenings. Then it be- came a race for life, but the youngsters, amid wild shouts, finally reached the shore. It was seen then that all except three persons had reached places of safety. One was a man not far from the other side. The others’ Were a man and a woman who were fleeing across the i¢e toward the Canadian side. The man near the New York shore kept his courage well. His eyes were directed toward the steel arch, under which he would pass if the ice con- tinued to move down the river. Onward it went and just as he reached the bridge he leaped from the ice and caught the arch as it rises out not far from the abuttment. The man and woman made record time sino tae and safely reached the Canadian £aore. The ice is piled in a great mass about tHe abuttments of the upper steel arch, and it is rumored that the structure has been in- jured, but this cannot be verified. The steamer docks on each side of the river have been wrecked and the ice has piled up close to the inclined railway building in the gorge so that it is in danger. WED AT EDWARDSVILLE. Mr. A. Samuels and Miss Hattie Brock- man of St. Louis. Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. EDWARDSVILLE, Ill., Jan. 23.—A very young and good-looking couple-came here from St. Louis Sunday morning and regis- tered at the Leland Hotel as Mr, A. Sam- uels and Miss Hattie Brockman. They said they were in search of a marriage license, and as the office of the County Clerk was closed, they at once set out to locate one of the officials. Deputy Clerk William Daech was found and made out the required document without ques- tion. The young people breathed a sigh of relief when the precious paper was safe in their hands and hurried away to a minister, as if in fear that it would be re- called. They entered the St. Andrew's Episcopal Church just 96 the service was about to begin, but Rev. A. Antrim, the rector, good-naturedly consented to humor the couple by marrying them at once. B. K. Yates of East St. Louis and Miss McDonough of St. Louis, a cousin of the bride, who accompanied them here, were the attendants. After the ceremony the party held an impromptu reception at the Leland, entertaining a number of friends from this city. They left on the evening train, but alighted at East St. Louis, explaining that they would return to St. Louis this morning and surprise their friends with the news of their mar- riage. Their nervousness while in the Clerk’s office was explained when it was learned that they had made a similar but unsuccessful trip to Belleville on Satur- day, where County Clerk George ae Thomas refused them a license on account of their extremely youthful appearance. The groom told his friends at dwards- ville that the elopement was not planned to thwart opposition of relatives, but just because they thought it would be nice to surprise their friends. The groom has an office in the Union Trust ‘building. The cousin, Miss McDonough, gave her ad- dress as 4045 Page boulevard, St. Louis. DEATHS IN THE SOUTHWEST.

Man Who Squandered Much Money When He Was Prosperous Dies in the Hospital. Andrew J. Clabby, formerly clerk of the Criminal Court, and for many years a con- spicuous figure in local political circles, died in the City Hospital at 7:40 o’clock Monday morning. His death resulted from kidney trouble with which he was: confined to the hospital since Nov. 22, last. \ Clabby was 60 years old, married and the father of a large family. At one time he was reputed very wealthy, but dissipation consumed his money and eventually ruined his health. His widow has a boarding house on Clark a”’enue. The passing of Andren Clabby recalls a chapter in his career. He was elected Clerk of the Criminal. Court on the Democratic ticket in Novem- ber, 1875. He was Known around town as a good fellow, and his popularity resulted in his re-election four years later. During his tenure of office it was hinted by poli- ticians that Clabby’s books were manipu- lated to suit himself. His salary, it was urged, was inadequate for the generosity he displayed to his friends. Many persons complained they could not collect their wit- ness fees. Finally, in April, 1882, the last year of Clabby’s second term, the grand jury. in- vestigated his office Three days later an indictment was re- turned against Clabby. He was charged with embezzlement. The amount was not stated. Judge Henry D. Laughlin, who then. pre- sided over the Criminal Court, suspended Clabby and placed Patrick Stead in tem- porary charge of the office. The following year, Staed was elected to the position. After many continuances the case ag@inst Clabby was stricken from the docket. The amount of his shortage was not definitely determined, but his bonds- men: were required to pay about $2000. On his bond were John Loler, a retired capitalist, now dead; Patrick McGrath, a plasterer, and Patrick and John Sheehan. Clabby’s method of embezzlement was the same as A] Wagenman is alleged to have used. Clabby was born in Ireland and came to St. Louis over 30 years ago. Though not well educated he was intelligent and quick to seize an opportunity for turning a dollar. He had a:fund of wit and humor and drew on it frequently. He was a typical ward politician, and studied the local political work carefully. He was a valuable man to his party, and all he wanted in return was an office. He got it and it proved his undoing. MAY ABANDON CHESTER. Insane Asylum Building There Said to Be Unsafe. SPRINGFIELD, IIL, Jan. 23.—The report of the superintendents of five Illinois ineti- tutions for the insane sent to examine the Chester Asylum will recommend the aban- donment of that hospital and that a new one be erected at a more desirable spot. It was the unanimous opinion of those present that the present building could not be made safe or comfortable and that a new site should be selected and a new asylum erected. Dr. William A. Stoker, the superintend- ent of the Anna Hospital, who spent two years at Chester, says that the land on which it is situated ig gradually slipping into the river and that to save the bulld- ing will require the construction of a re- taining wall that will cost from $75,000 to $100,000. The last Legislature made an ap- propriation of $3000 to build a wall, but the superintendent, Dr. Frank E. Aute a, decid- ed that the expenditure of this money would amount to throwing it into the river. The other superintendents indoree this action. Dr. Stoker is of the opinion that there is @ cavity directly in front of the hosp:tal, for it appears impossible to keep the place filled in and the dooryard now amounts to only a narrow drive. The whole place is treacherous and landslides that threaten the building are frequent. Worse than this however, is the situation of the hospita from a sanitary point of view. ‘Water from the hill comes down into the institution and floods the basement and the floors of the cells are fast rotting away. The re- cent addition to the —. was con- structed in such a way, the doctor says, that not one ray of sunshine can enter the celle at any time and they ere as dark as so many dungeons.

He said the Grand Jury ordered the clerk to assign the various cases to the two branches of the Criminal Court, and the indictment against Allgaier, in accordance with the order, was assigned to Division No. 9. Then Col. Anthony entered a motion for a change of venue or prayed that a special judge be appointed to try the case. The Judge allowed the change of venue and announced that the case would be sent to Court No 8 for trial Monday. He said he would not make a formal order until 2 o’clock so as to give him time to confer with Judge Talty.

REQUEST SENT TO VATICAN. It Is That the Christian Brothers’ Schools in This Country Be Not Disturbed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—The American Government has gent a request to the Vatican. Such an act is unusual, if it be not the first time it has been done since the Pope lost his temporal power. It no doubt will cause much discussion, even though the request was a simple one con- cerning the welfare of education in certain Catholic colleges. . Secretary Hay has asked the Vatican to restrain the Superior General of the Order of Christian Brothers in Paris from dis- tubing the status quo of the brethers’ schools in the United States. He had in- terfered in the teaching of the classics, The request wes ocoomneaniae by a etate- ment from Dr. William T. Harris.

HAVANA, Jan. 23.—Boston capitalists are Said to have made an offer of $3,500,000 in Spanish gold for the San Jose warehouses and wharves. The offer is in writing and Gelats & Co., the agents of the property, are reported as satisfied with the financial responsibility of the parties making it. avana on Wednes- day. The original offer was for a long time lease, but this was refused. Some ex- isting leases have to be arranged in mak- ing the sale. Plans which had been formed for renting the warehouses separately have been abandoned, because of the probable sale of the entire property. The docks have nearly half a mile of water front. The warehouses are of structural steel. The other water frontage and docks are the property of the Havana municipality. There are large sugar warehouses across the bay at Regla, but they have not the Same value as the property on the city side of the harbor. Most of the importing houses have direct trackage with the @in Jose warehouses. The parties making the offer are credited with various plans, but until the transfer is actually carried out these will not be disclosed. Gen. Ludlow and Col. Black, who is supervising the en- gineering work here, have under consider- ation a proposition submitted by the syn- dicate which controls the street railroads.

Startling Evidence Produced in the Cornish Poisoning Case, NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—In connection with the Cornish poisoning case, three scraps of paper came into the hands of the police by a mere accident about 10 days ago. One of them was a blank order filled out for a simple package of Kutnow powders. The three scraps of paper which were so unmistakably written by the same hand that penned the original superscription on the bottle of poison sent to Harry Cornish that both the handwriting experts agreed at once as to the Identity of authorship of the whole forr. But the most startling feature of this or- der is the name that is signed to it. This name nas been most carefully guarded by the volice, but it is said to be that of a person so well known and so highly re- garded that were the police to accept it as real the conclusion that would neces- sarily be deduced would be absolutely be- wildering. The po ice have, therefore, been virtually compelled to regard the name as fictitious, but will make a rigid investigation.

Anthony & Kuhn’s and the Cherokee May Shut Down Until Busi- ness Has Improved. The St. Louis Brewing Association, better known as the Brewery Syndicate, is con- templating radical changes in the reduction of its output in St. Louis. It was stated Morfday on the best of authority that one plan under contempla- tion was the closing of two breweries con- nected with the syndicate. The concerns most frequently mentioned were the Chero- kee Brewery at 2726 Cherokee street, and the Anthony & Kuhn Brewery at 1020 Victor street. Both breweries are said to have been running light for some time, their output being merely sufficient to sup- ply the customers of the two breweries. Officers of the syndicate did not deny Monday that the closing of these plants had been discussed. Among the brokers the rumor took defi- nite shape, and it was stated positively that a contract had been let for the re- moval of the machinery of the Anthony and Kuhn plants, and that negotiations were under way for the closing of the Cherokee Brewery. The St. Louis Brewery Association resu!t- ed from the purchase of 18 St.- Lou:s bre w- eries by English capitalists five years ago. The only large concerns which did not en- ter into it were the Anheuser-Busch Brew- ing Association and the William J. Lemp Brewing Co. Ever since the formation of the syndicate there has been the hottest kind of rivalry between the independent breweries and those in the combinat:on. The result of the union of the 18 breweries is said to have been less gratify‘ng than was expected, and the curtailing of the syndicate’s output is said to be regarded by some as ay yreasing necessity. Secretary P.*Stock of the Si. Louis Brew- ing Association said Monday: “There has been talk of closing some of our breweries. It may be done, though ho definite action has been taken. It all de- pends on the volume of business. The con- tract which holds the syndicate breweries together expires at the beginning of next vear. Whether it will be renewed is a mat- ter of conjecture, The Anthony & Kuhn and Cherokee breweries are still in operation. They may be closed before the contract expires, if their business is not suffidient to warrant their operation.’ WRECKED ON A GULF ISLAND. Relief Sloop Sent to Succor Stranded Federal Officials. CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. ,Jan. 23.— eee®- ond vessel has been sent to relieve the United States officials and others ship- wrecked on Padre Island, fifteen miles eouth. James A. McEnery, special Treas- ury agent, and Redford Sharp, assistant United States District Attorney, who were yesterday rescued from the island by the sloop H. O. and H.

The tax is in most cases about 50'cents. _ The City Assessor says: ‘‘We propose to make salaried peo- ple in boarding houses and hotels contribute to the support of the city whose advantages they enjoy, just as the man of family with his $50 worth of furniture contributes. There is no question as to our ability to enforce the law, and we cer- tainly shall enforce it.” There is a good deal of doubt as to the wisdom of taxing $50 worth of furniture. ,Some taxing districts exempt $700 worth, and do not seem to be the worre for it. toe TIRED OF QUAY, Republican newspapers have at length discovered that Mat Quay is too heavy a load fur the party to carry.

He has done what he ought not to have done and left undone What he ought to have done. He is a small bore adventurer with nothing to distinguish him but shrewd and low cunning, by the exercise of which he has made himself useful to certain special interests. He has corrupted the public service, dis- graced the State of Pennsylvania and lower€d the whole tone of public life. But the wonder is that he ever got into high office, and still more remarkable is it that his party has supported him So long. His career shows how far the subordination of the public good to special private interests has gone. ee OOo The Whiskv Industry Flourishing.—One of the largest dis- tilleries in Kentucky is overrun with orders, and prosperity re- ports come from other establishments.

What must have been the ignorance or villainy 6f those who permitted it to go to our army? ~~ Fr ’ SAMOA AND THE PHILIPPINES. The Samoan trouble is a foretaste of what is to come if the United States undertake an “imperial” policy. The American interests in those islands can be protected without an occupation. The Berlin treaty has already cost the country more than the trade is worth and there is no reason to believe that the expense will grow lighter in future. To continue the present condition is to incur indefinite ex- pense and expose the country to never-ending bickering with Germany and Great Britain. If America occupies the Philippines there will be no joint sovereignty or control but the danger of a Glash with other nations will be even greater thanin Samoa. Rival ambitions are concentrating in the neighborhood and we are sure to be drawn into the maelstrom sooner or later. Is it worth while to take territory of doubtful commercial value which necessi- tates large armaments and censtant watchfulness? A policy of this kind may tickle our vanity but wherein is the moral or material profit ? The Samoan troubles are timely lessons in the folly of inter- meddling in the affairs of people on the other side of the world. > > i>- — — = A Kansas City writer says that the people are tired of Pin- gree methods, yet it is a fact that the Pingree potato patches in Kansas City have.returned 250 per cent on the money in- vested in them: Pingree has succeeded in getting employment and food for poor men.

Empress An is not for annexation. Everybody who can raise the wind now Wants to invest in compressed air. Dr. Christomanas’ book relates that the assassinated Empress of Aurtri@ did not believe in medicine. She at least did not die by it. President Iglesias thinks Queen Victoria will live 20 years longer. It looks more and more as if we are never to hail King Albert Edward. “Learning gives woman logic instead of feeling,’ said the late Empress of Austria.

The fresh bread-and doughn~ts daily consumed by the Amer- ican citizen are likely to do for his stomach all that salicylic acid can do for that of the American soldier. Perhaps the large demand among women for the photographs of beautiful actors is merely an expression of the feminine love of art. The man who is stricken with admiration for beau- t'ful actresses may not have so much art in his coarser nature. he.fact that schoolma’ams are marrying more in these days may imply that men choosing wives are now more intellectual than men haye been.

The Register extends its most distinguished consideration to the Post-Dispatch, and hopes it may continue in the straight path which leads to ulti- mate reward. +>o——__.. “Champion of the Masses.”’ From the Harrison (Ark.) Times. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is not only one of the greatest sewsepapers of the country, In the true sense, but it {s waging a glorious warfare for the natural rights of men. It fears neither | the power of wealth nor place in its stand for justice for all, and, Trade | When But Need I’m good at work—I work : ays the same my work must go, Alw The _ And what God makes us do it for?

During the campaign in Cuba I was Quar- termaster Sergeant of Co. E, Fifth United States Volunteer Infantry, stationed at Santiago. It was my duty to draw from the regimental Quartermaster the supply of beef issued to the company. Thinking a de- scription of the mode by which it was (dls- tributed might throw some light on the beef controversy, I will state the following facts: The transports that brought the beef to Santiago were moored in the bay aalf a mile from the wharf. The meat was brought ashore on a small launch. There it fre- quently lay exposed’ in the sun for several hours awaiting the arrival of the regimental wagons. After being loaded on these it would be hauled for several miles under the rays of a tropical sun. Upon reaching camp it was thrown on the ground, where it frequently lay for another hour before it was distributed to the Quartermaster Ser- reants of the different companies. Alto- gether five hours frequently elapsed from the time the fheef left the ship until] it reached the cé@émpany mess for which it was intended. Any one who knows any- thing of cold storage will understand that this length of exposure to a tropical sun would spoil any meat, no mattgr how fresh it was upon leaving the ship. Frequently when it reached our camp the beef was in such a condition the surgeons forbade its being distributed. I do not mean to say that when the beef left the transports it was as fresh as you will find it in’ the butcher shops of St. Louis, but I do state that the bungling way in which it was transferred to the dif ferent regiments rendered most of it to- tally unfit for wee. I also wish to state that the canned roast beef issued to my regiment was of an in- make, a grievance to ventilate, Infor- a public service to acknowledge, and _ferior quality, and most of it was spoiled. |The men positively refused to eat it. The canned corned beef was all in excellent condition. S. B. WARD. 5061 Delmar avenue, St. Louis. Slate’s Assessment Bill. To the Editor of the. Post-Dispatch. I noticed. in your issue of yesterday a telegram from Jefferson City as to Mr. Slate's bill. Missourians are very proud of the low rate of interest paid on their State and St Louis bonds, but if this bill is paseed, most, if not all, of said bonds, will be sold out of the State, and perhaps here- after they will bear a higher rate of in- terest, Take a 3% per cent bond held in Missouri, and deduct the rate of city taxation, $2.03,- you will have the following result: $1000 will bring $35, less $20.50, equals $14.50 interest for year; $10,000 will bring $350, less $205, equals $145 ‘interest for year; $100,000 will’ bring $3500, less $2050, equals $1450 in- terest for year; $1,000,000 will bring $35,000, less $20,050, equals $14,500 interest for year. I recognize that it is right that holders of bonds should pay taxes on them, but is it right that the e.ty and State should sell their bonds with .a very low rate of interest, boast of, their high financial standing in the world, and take over 5 per cent of the income derived from such investments by the-r own citizens, when the bonds held in other States and coun- tries will receive the full 3% per cent in- terest? Missouri would be more prosperous if she would not tax her bonds and those of the cities and counties of the State. Home money, instead of mov.ng out of the State, would be invested in home egecurities, prob- ably at a still lower rate of interest than is now pa.-d. M. cream of tartar.

In the first place, when returned from a muddy street, she or her maid should hang the skirt before a fire, but not too close, so that the mud may dry quickly. When dry, ‘the mud spots should be loosened by rub- bing with the edge of a penny, and the dust should then be gently brushed off with a brush of moderate firmness. If after this brushing the mud marks are still visible, sponge the spots with alcohol or methylated spirits.

THDBN AND NOW. | When King Cophetua declared: “This beggar maid shall be my queen!” His private views, in public aired, Made all the lords with envy green. “O wondrous thing,” The people said, “That any king Should pauper wed!’’ So people smiled in loving way And praised old King Cophetua. When in this sordid world to-day An heiress weds a titled guy, Who's debt-encumbered and blase, And has no coin wherewith to buy, The people yell: “O sad requital, One’s soul to sell For sake of title!’ And, going by an olden rule, They call her forty kinds of fool. The lords who frowned on King Cophet Were jealous of his royal lot. They sneered at him, I know, and yet In secret praised him, like as not; And so our girls, Whom matrimony Has linked to churis With titles “foney,” Approve, Inversely, of the play Once made by King Cophetua.

The first half of the game was hotly con- tested. Each succeeded in scoring a goal through the good work of their forwards. The Cappels failed to keep up the pace in the second half and fell woefully to the rear. The green had very little trouble in this half in scoring the'‘r last four goals.

The “Saints” signalized the first half by scoring three goals and only the good work of Edwards, the Cyclists goalkeeper, pre- vented the score from being larger. He put up a fine exhibition. The second half was in favor of the Cy- clists, they scoring their only two goals while the ‘‘Saints’’ had to be content with one.

The baseball case was settled this morn- ing in so far as Judge Spencer of the Cir- cuit Court is concerned. He then rendered a decision in favor of the plaintiff in the case of the Missiesippi Valley Trust Co. vs. The Sportsman’s Park and Club, This Was the case in which the trust company asked leave to foreclose on all the properties of the Sportsman’s Park and Club to secure the payment of the $20,000 worth of first mortgage bonds Issued by that corporation to the trust company. Chris Von der Ahe had entered a plea that the mortgage did not cover the St. Louis franchise in the National League and American Association of Baseball Clubs and that that franchise was his own ex- clusive and personal property. Judge Spencer’s decision Monday morn- ing Was a sweeping one. He decidod not only in favor of the trust company, but stated that the mortgage was 80 worded as to cover the baseball franchise and every- thing else named in it. He admitted tha: the baseball franchise had at one time he- longed to the St. Louis Baseball Associa- ticn, bui asserted that Von der Ahe had transferred it to the Sportsman’s Park and 7 ; Po ameren ence Hee AOL NEN LY IA EN IE TOM, FINE REM el EN 88S ar af Pate mi a: Z RIE emt rien 20% -. > hte UR We Cure and Co t ; CROOKED FEET AND LIMBS, | SPINAL AND JOINT DISEASES, WRY NECK, PARALYSIS AND RHEUMATISM.

Priest of St. Casimir Administered the Last Sacrament to a Smallpox Vic- tim Who Had Sent for Him. Because he prized his priestly duty higher than his life, the Rev. Father Theopilus T. Pudiowski at the Quarantine Hospital, euffering with a virulent attack of smali- pox. is He contracted the disease while adminis- {| tering tne last sacrament tion to a dying woman. It was the first duty of the kind he had ever performed. His physician fears it may be his last. Miss Mary Balzerozac, who lived in room 62 of the old Ashley Building, at Third and O’Falion streets, became sick, January 4. The Board of Health made an immediate investigation of her and discovered ehe had smallpox. She was sent to Quar- antine for treatment, but the disease could not be checked and her vitality gradually ,@ave way before it. On the fourth day sne Was sent to Quarantine, it became she could not live.

She was a member of St. Casimir’sChureh at 1621 North Eighth street. Father Pud- lowski was its junior priest and had been her confessor. He was iaformed of Miss Balzerozak’s wish. When he entered the priesthood, he took a vow that he would @dminister the last sacrament to anv dv- ing person wishing it, regardless of the disease with which that person might be suffering. The star of duty appeared to him and he followed it to the loathsome couch of his dying parishioner, As a precautionary measure he was vac- cinated. But the preventive virus had not penetrated his system when he appeared at Quarantine. At first, he was refused adimittance. But he explained that Miss |Balzerozak had asked for the jast sacra- ‘mem and that his conscience would not be sa@t ease until he had administered to her. 'He was finally led to the woman's side. ‘She was in a semi-conscious condition, but ‘the sacrament was administered. Two days ago she died. Father Pudlowski then returned to his home. He hoped he would not take the dis- se, but he determined to isolate himself rom the other men, 6o that if the disease should develop in his system he would not pe guilty of communicating it to any one.

The $0 damage suit of Mollie McA‘%ee vs. tae St. Louis Railroad Company w Washington Avenue Store Divested of $150 Worth of Hard- ware, The hardware store of George R. Plow- man, 2301 Washington avenue, was forcibly entered Saturday night and about $160 wortn of pistols, razors, knives, shears, locks, bells and other expensive hardware Sundries taken. This is the second time in three months that Plowman has been robbed, a window in his former place at 2226 Washington avenue having been broken and many ex- pensive articles stolen. Mr. Plowman re- ported it at the time to the police and that was the last he heard of the affair. This second job, Mr. Plowman thinks, was committed by some boys, as entrance was effected through a high window on the Twenty-third streét side, which would have bten difficult for a heavy man to reach. After getting into the store the robbers pried open the rear door to insure a means of retreat and then, at leisure, ae themselves to Whatever they de- sired. Although both the window and the back door were wide open all Saturday night and Sunday morning, the policeman on the beat failed to notice them and Mr. Plowman, arriving at his store about 12, saw what had happened. He immediately notified the police and Monday morning a representa- tive of Col. Campbell’s Bureau of Suppres- sion called on him, and after taking a description of the stolen goods told Plow- man to employ the private watchman of that district and thereby avoid a repetition | of the occurrence. Mr. Plowman, however, being a taxpayer, has an idea that he is entitled to police pretection, but the two obberies coming.in such close succession r | has sadly shaken his faith in the efficacy | of the I ras | same, MRS. COURTENAY ASKS DIVORCE Recalls a Shooting Affray in Which the Defendant Figured. The divorce suit of Frieda Courtenay against Edward St. George Courtenay re- calls a Compton Hill shooting affray in which the defendant figured. in In 1894 Dr. Courtenay, a veterinary sur- geon, then residing on Eads avenue, shot Miss Minnie Schilling in the neck. It was said he had become infatuated with the woman and that when she repulsed him he used his revolver. She was removed to the home of William Bewig at 3120 Eads avenue, where, for sev- eral days she hovered between life and death, the bullet having lodged near the heart. The petition mentions that Dr. Courtenay was charged with felony. Later a reconciliation was effected be- tween Dr. and Mrs. Courtenay, but domes- tic difficulties arose again and Saturday a legal divorce was prayed for by the wife. PLOT TO PLUNDER CLAYTON. An Attempt to Burn a House to Dis- tract General Attention. The attempt Saturday night to burn the home of Mrs. Alvina Meier, a widow at Clayton, it is now thought, was part of a plot of a gang of robbers to loot the town. A fire in Clayton attracts the townspeo- ple in haste, and it is believed the plan was to take advantage of these wholesale ab- sences to effect entrance into the deserted houses for purposes of plunder, Mrs. Meier now recalls that on Saturday afternoon a man looking like a peddler asked permission to leave one of two valises at her home, saying he feared the Sheriff might stop him to examine the contents. Mrs. Meier grew suspicious, de- nied his request and was roundly abused by the stranger for doing so. AFTER EFFECTS OF THE GRIP. St. Louis Academicians Will Discuss Them at the Woman’s Hospital.

The young ladies of the Normal Kinder- garten class at the Crow School are re- ceiving the finishing touches to their ed- ucation for training little tots in the way they should go, under the guardianship of policemen especially detailed to protect them from the threatened murderous at- tacks of a jealous lover. The lover’s case is singular in many re- spects and it is not plural in num ber. He is not common property and the particuliar young lady to whom he would fain be at- tached will have none of him. She told him to g0 away and appealed to the law to make him stay away. There are four colored girls in the Nor- man class—and it is one of these who is threatened. All of the girls in the class are frightened. [t appears the coffee-colored gentleman who is the victim of unrequited heart- thoughts announced in a roundabout, but effective way that he would descend upon the Crow School with a razor, after which a would be one kindergarten teacher Sis. The teacher thus threatened, promptly informed Miss Mary McCulloch, principal of the school, and al] the others. (Con- sternation took possession of the class ‘and a consultation was held whereat it was unanimously decided to ask for police por- tection. The chivalrous captain of the district did not give it out to the press, but he an- swered the request of the teachers. There have been two policemen on duty at the school Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays rd oe the Normal class thhour, for a week past. One officer patrols the hall and never gets out of sight of the door to the room where the class meets; the other guardian walks up and down the sidewalk looking for a black man with a razor. AN ELEPHANT’S SUDDEN ANGER. Charles Stoltz and Thomas Floyd Re- ceived Painful Injuries. Charles Stoltz and Thomas Floyd have probably seen as much of Cooper & Co.’s circus as they wish. They saw the elephant Sunday night and as a result they are con- fined to the'r rooms with painful injuries. While the “King of Siam” was being driven to the Coliseum, Stoltz ’and Floyd attempted to pass him at Fifteenth and Locust streets in an express wagon. The ‘“King’’ was in an ugly mood and he wrapped his trunk about the bed of the passing wagon and whirled it around in the air. Stoltz and Floyd were thrown vio- lently to the pavement. They received sev- eral bruisés and cuts and were unable to get home without assistance. The ‘‘King”’ broke the wagon bed into splinters before hie could be pacified.

Renkel said they heard Faudl hallooing in the woods on the day after his disappearance and that they found the place where he stayed the first night he was away. TT ae CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always ——_ f f, (fp a j ra € q A sje "= “ 3 I Wes oe é s oie. se > a Z ASOCIAL HIGHWAY COMEDY OF ERRORS ENACTED BY A MORNING NEWSPAPER. EVERYTHING ALL WROUGHT. Bachelor Found Himself Married and Other Persons Learned Things That Never Happened. A morning paper contains a five-act story in two columns about a “social highway- man” in real life who steals things from people who go to St. Louis theaters. The story contains alleged interviews with al- leged victims and a list of names purport- ing to represent those who have been robbed by the thief in a dress suit. In the list is Mrs. Ellsworth A. Peck, 4123 Morgan street, loss, bracelet, valued at $150; Mrs. Marie J. Daly, 3930 Morgan street, loss, diamond ring, valued at $100; C. G. Seaver, 4208 Morgan street, 1088, pearl necklace, valued at $50. The house numbered 3930 Morgan street has been vacant for a year. Mrs. Peck has not lost anything. A member of the Seaver family lost a child’s necklace, worth about $2, on the Street two weeks ago. ro In this entertaining story of “A Real Social Highwayman,” there is a long in- terview with “Miss Mildred Corwin of Brooklyn, N. Y., etopping with friends at 924 North Garrison avenue.” There is no 924 North Garrison avenue and a Post-Dispatch reporter could find no one in the neighborhood who knew @ **Miss Mildred Corwin.”’ H Dunham of the Dunham Manu- facturing Co., 9 Locust street, is also men- tioned as a victim of the “social highway- man.’”’ He was questioned concerning the matter by a Post-Dispatch reporter Mon- day morning. “I lost a scarf pin at the Century a couple of weeks ago. It dropped in the aisle, where it was found. It was returned to me the next day. That is all there is to it.” Mark Chartrand was greatly amused and his relatives were surprised at the story that the pin he lost belonged to his wife. Mr. Chartrand is not married. He lost his scarf pin in the new City Hall on the morning of Jan. 3. The list of alleged losers given in above mentioned newspapers is headed with Mrs. L. P. Aloe of No. 4464 Maryland avenue, miniature set with diamonds and pearls; $100. Louis Aloe said Monday: “I have not heard of my wife losing anything. If she did lose anything it is certain that she would tell me about it.’’ The police say that they have not only no information regarding the story, but that such a thing could scarcely occur without their knowledge. Chief of Detectives Desmond has two men detailed to watch the theater crowds and Capt. Reynolds has an officer in uni- form in the lobby of every theater to see that such things do not occur. A reporter visited all the theaters Mon- day morning, but in no instance had a pa- tron of the house lost anything of value. The usual loss of gloves, hat pins, etc., have been reported, but nothing exceeding $5 in value, Manager Pat Short, of the Century and Olympic Theaters, speaking of the story said: ‘‘During this season only one loss of any kind has been reported to me. A lady who attended the Olympic Theater during Richard Mansfield’s week, reported that ‘she had lost a «mall brooch. She thought she had pulled it off when she removed her coat. We searched the house but were unable to find it. The thought that she had been robbed never entered her head.’”’ Manager Salisbury, of the Columbia, said: ‘“T don’t think that a man could rob patrons of my theater at any time. ‘“T read the story, but as far as the Co- lumbia is concerned I can state ——- that nothing of any value has been lost or taken in this house. If any thing beside a glove or hat pin had disappeared, I should have heard of it.’’ The attaches of the Grand, Impertal and other houses say that nothing of value has been reported missing by their patrons, Postponement. Owing to the illness of Mr. Sauer, the Apollo Club Concert, which was to take place Tuesday evening next, will be post- poned until further notice. DEATH OF DAVID ROWE. Passing of the Venerable Father of At- torney Thomas Rowe. David Rowe, father of Attorney Thomas Rowe, died at the home of the latter, 3416 Chestnut street, Sunday morning. He was 76 years old. His death was due to old age. Until a week ago the old gentleman was in good health, but his vital forces were graduaily wearing out. He began to a Sunday before last and took to his bed. ; The funeral will be held Tuesday at 9 o’clock from St. Xavier’s Church, Grand avenue and Lindell boulevard.

It is a most excellent organization. The men and women in it do the quality of work that one expects to see—and very often does not see—done by high class traveling companies. It is work so good that it challenges criticism. It is not the stock company work that St. Louis has been accustomed to, The person who “writes pieces about shows’ cannot give it a bit of perfunctory praise, “‘and let it go at that’’-—condoning bad acting because the charge for admission is low. This com- pany is so strong that when a member of it is entitled to censure he or she will get it. The playgoing public is very quick to rec- ognize a good thing, and it has recognized the company at the Grand. Every seat was filled last night and there were men and women standing up. Others declined to stand, and there was an overflow to other houses. ‘The Countess Gucki’ was the bill. The play is an adaptation by Augustin Daly of a three-act German comedy by Franz von Schoenthan. Mr. Daly had it translated, then licked it into shape for Ada Rehan, and one of the pleasantest recollections that the admirers of that statuesque and admirable actress have is her delightful work in the title role. The plot of the play is simple and the theme the old one of a battle of wits between a man and a WoO- man, in which both lose and both win, for they fall in love and get married, Like all German comedies it is intensely convefsa- tional in the first act, but the action quick- ens gradually, and there is a lot of humor in the lines and situations. Miss Seligman’s interpretation of the title role differs essentially from that of Miss Rehan. She is pleasing: and at times fas- cinating, yet she does not seem to grasp the full scope of the character. She is too volatile; too trivial Miss Rehan’s Countess Gucki was a woman of force and power and combined feminine grace and charm and woman’s divine intuition, with almost masculine decision and intellect. She was a masterful, purposeful woman, Miss Seligman’s Countess Gucki is friv- olous. She impresses Yne with the idea that she Se to the dashing Horst von Neuhoff, not because of his magnetic personality and overpowering audacity, but because she was hankering to capitulate to a man—to any man. She is all right, a¢- cording to her lights, but her lights are not the lights of Ada Rehan. Still Miss Selig- man is a charming actress and while her conception of the character she is portray- ing this week is not entirely satisfactory it is pleasant to look at her, to hear her laugh. Hobart Bosworth’s “Horst von Neuhoff” igs great. The matinee girls will fall down and worship at his shrine. He is an au- dacious, plausible, magnetic, irresistible young dog, just the sort of man to master a masterful woman. It is one of the finest characterizations the writer has ever seen and far and away better than anything Mr. Bosworth has done in St. Louis. Mr. Maher confirmed the good impression that he made last week. As a diffident, proper and jealous youngster—a sort of male ingenue—he was as artistic as he was as a determined young Irishman. He has the art of burying his personality in that of the character he depicts and that is the art of the good character actor. Grayce Scott seems to have it not, though she is a charming young woman and makes a satisfactory Cilli. Miss Reimer has little to do this week, but she does that -ittle ex- cellently. Mr. Hamilton as the elderly ad- mirer of the Countess does a fine bit of work, . George Denham was cast for the im- portant role of councillor, but an attack of grip prevented his appearance. Edward Emery learned the part in 24 hours and played it so well that Mr. Denham was not missed, and nobody can say a more praiseful thing of Mr. Emery’s work. Man- ager Giffen made no mistake in retaining him as a member of the company. If there is anything the Matweef-Hugos- ton troupe of Russians at the Columbia cannot do it is not tn the acrobatic or terpsicorean line. There are five of them, two women and three men. Though they are at the bottom of the bill they hold the audience to the last. Another good of- fering is the McDonald brothers, Irish and Dutch comedy act. Thev have some new things which are worth hearing and their methods are highly original. The three Renos, two young men and a woman, do a clever athletic turn, Miss Belle Wilton sings sentimental and popular songs in her own way. E. M. Hall, who was famous as a banjoist twenty years ago, is on the bill. His fingers have :ost little of their nimbleness; he sings as well as ever and he is funny every minute he is on e stage. Cliff Dean and Miss Jose do @ novel cake walking act. George Felix and Lydia Barry present their comedy suc- cess entitled the Vaudeville Craze. Ma- cartes dog and monkey show is retained, and new views are shown by the kino- drome. At Havlin’s there is a show to catch the y of the many who take their melo- drama straight. Then London Sleeps” has been seen in St. Louis before. It was warmly welcomed Sunday and seate were at a premium at both performances. The play is well staged and from a spec- tacular standpoint is all that Haviin's pat- rons have come to expect. al The cast is large and suited to ~har- acter of the Bago producti oF of “vance Sales. Caruthers, is taken by Miss Meva Harri- son. Frank Frayne is in the cast as Sammy Blyth, a resourceful young man who never fails to come to the heroine’s rescue in the nick of time, Probably the most striking costumes and gorgeous scenery ever seen in the Stan- dard Theater are on view this week. The company is called the Bowery Burlesquers and comes from a Harlem theater. The performance is entertaining. There is the usual potpourri of specialties and shape! women that the patrons of the Standar are accustomed to and like. Truly Shattuck is the name of the fe- male star. She is built on artistic lines and sings as well as so pretty a woman need sing. “Around the World in Eighty Days” at the Imperial is put on most creditably with regard to the scenery and spectacular effects, and the stock company did most excellent work. Frank Losee was cast for Phileas Fogg, the globe trotter, Malcolm Williams as his American companion, Ed- muad D. Lyons as Jean Passi Partout, his factotum, and Gus Weinberg as the detec- tive on the wrong scent, and it was hard to tell who had first honors with the audience. Mr. Weinberg did particularly clever character work in his disguise as a chinaman. Miss Jessaline Rodgers as Aouda, looked beautiful enough to inspire any man to heroic efforts to save her from the sacrificial altar, and as Djelnar, her brother, Miss Nellete Reed was particularly fetching. So much for the principals, and the sub- ordinate roles were acceptably filled. It would be as well, however, when Jean as- sumes the robes of the dead Rajah after removing the body from the altar that he make the change before the Maharajah guards march behind the altar where he is, and are not supposed to see him. Cymbal and Nautch dances and marches by a large number of young and shapely women con- eute leading features in the spectacular effects. A special train from Chicago brought the Alice Nielsen Opera Company and the E. H. Sothern Company to St. Louis Sunday. There were nine cars in the train, Miss Nielsen and her company will sing “The Fortune Teller’ to-night at the lympic and Mr. Sothern will “tpeer at the Century as D’Artagnan in “The King’s Mus- keteer.”” Both houses have had large ad- It should be a big week. The Apollo Club concert, which was to have been given Tuesday night at the Fourteenth Street Theater, has been in- definitely postpdhed, because of the illness of Emile Sauer, the pianist. M. Sauer has grip in Boston. MEDICAL LIBRARY PROPOSED. St. Louis Physicians Have Held Two Meetings on the Subject. A movement is on foot to establish a medical library in St. Lou!s. ’ Dr. Frank -J. Lutz and other physicians have taken the initiative. Two meetings have been held, the last of which was Sunday night, at which it was decided to endeavor to interest the medical profession of the city in the propec’. Prior to the establishment of the Public Library there was a medical library owned by the St. Louis Medical Society, but it was donated to the Public Library. Quality, Purity and Natural Dryness. Connoisseurs find these in G. H. Mumm’s Extra Dry Champagne. Its importations in 1898 were 86,855 cases, or 52,649 more than any other brand.
