BUT MARION WOODCOCK IS STILL UNDER THIRTY. fRomance of Sulphur Avenue Which Made the Neighbor Women Look Solemn and Wag’ Their, Heads, sd Josie Lewis, who lives with her parents at No. 1422 Sulphur avenue, is the youngest bride for whom a Marriage license was ever taken out in St: Lou's. She will be 15 ‘ears old on the 10th of next August. And er husband, Marion Woodcock, of Chel- enham, Mo., though but 27 years old, has een married three times. Oscar Lewis and his wife. ive in an unpretentious little at No. 1422 Sulphur avenue. They have six children, ranging from Jo- sie, who is not yet 15, to a bright little tot about one year old. Oscar Lewis drives a team for the Winkel Terra Cotta Works and his wife takes in washing. Thus they manage to feed and clothe their six chil- dren. About three months eock came to St. Louls to work at Myer’s Dlacksmith shop, on ‘Manchester avenue, just west of Sulphur avenue. Mrs. Lewis d:d his washing. : Now Woodcock is a fine, tall, strong chap and good looking, and it was but natural that he should notice Josie when he wae it her father’s house. Svon his attentions o her became marked. Josije’s eyes are blue ind her cheeks are very rosy, and despite the fact that she ig not yet 15 years old, she might easily pass for a girl of 18. Being but a schoolgirl, and full of school- girl -deas, sRe was proud of W oodcock’s at- tentions. And when she was with her girl friends she uppe eared & superior creature, Her friends called her ‘“‘stuck up.”” But Jo- 3.6, confident in her khowledge that Wood- cock | liked her, took no notice of their And Woodcock’s visits to the became more frequent. wre 4 Re Thre neghbore began to talk.

PP Se Oooo? ® ‘© The Last WitnessfExamined Before the Noon Adjournment Was James Tully, a Member of the Board, “Who More Than Corroborated * Everything Published in the Post-Dispatch. / The searching rays of the Lexqw cal-| cium were turned on the inner workings of the City Government in full force Thurs- day morning and complete corroboration of charges recently made through the Post- Dispatch was the result. The investigation of the Boiler Inspector’s office was taken up and a number of wit- nesses gave evidence which startled even the members of the committee and posi- tively frightened the City Hall loungers and lobbyists ini the committee chamber. James Tully, one of the three members of the Board of Examiners who pass upon applicants for engineers’ licenses, testified that he had for a long. time suspected crookedness in the board; that he belleved irregularities did exist; and finally, that he iad addresesd a letter to the Mayor in Angust,. 1898, in.relation to.the matter. He had received no reply. He wrote again Jan. 12, 1899, and. was asked to duplicate his letter of August, 1898. He put seven questions to the Mayor— point blank, direct questions. One of them was: “Have the other members of the board the privilege to hold secret meetings away’ from the Boller Inspector’s office and pass] upon applicants who are to come before them later?’’ . Tully said it was the custom of his col- leagues, Price and Philper, to take appll- cants out into the hall during the progress of an examination, then return to the room andstell him (Tully) they were all right. Tully said a license was issued to Fred Conning, now working at the Gas plant at Fourteenth and Gratiot streets, by Price and Philper after the regular board meet- ing had adjourned and the number on the license did not correspond with that on the stub in the Boiler Inspector’s office. He said Conning held up the license be- fore a crowd in the hall outside of the Boiler Inspector’s office and exclaimed: “7 got my license, but I had to pay $0 for it.’ William E. Voelpel, a fireman for the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Company, living at 2127B Carr street, testified that he paid $50 for an engineer's license; that he paid, H. A. Nuttall the money and was coached in engineering by Philper. The letters to the Mayor follow: Tully also said that subsequent to the time he addressed the letter to the Mayor he had three gentlemen address a letter of similar nature to the Mayor. William F. Nolker, Otto Stifel and Henry Nicolaus were the men who signed the letter. Tully said he infomed Price and Philper of what he had done, and that they laughed at him.

FILIPINOS BECOME BOLDER. A ALD -_— - — AMERICANS WILL FIGHT ONLY IF ASSAULTED. Gen. Miller Can Neither Occupy Iloilo Nor Withdraw Without Adding to the Complication of the Situation. ee Special to tie Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—That the situ- ation in the Pall ppines is grave and grad- ually grow ng worse Is conceded in admin- istration eircles. An attack of Aguinaldo is feared. News of a conflict would not be surprising. Nothing has come from Gen. Otis to in- dicate:any signs of ‘mprovement. The Fili- pinos are growing bolder and more inclined not only to resist American authorities, but to force the Americans to withdraw. Gen. Otis is expected to adopt every possible measure for defense ‘n case of an attack and take every etep necessary to protect his troops and mainta:n his position, but the administration wants his attitude to be defensive rather than offensive. Shoula Aguinaldo draw up his troops .n battle ar- ray Gen. Otis would not be expected to ac- cept the challenge, but only to strike when he must. Gen. Otis is in a trying position, This is fully realized in Washington. But the treaty must be regarded. The s.tuation at Iloilo is most embarrassing. Gen. Miller is there with troops that can neither occupy the city nor withdraw with propriety. Should Gen. Miller be ordered to return to Manila the insurgents would regard that as evidence of weakness. Yet it will be impossible to keep the troops there much longer on transports or in such camps as can be estabiished without greatly endangering the men’s health The President and his advisers are great- ly worried, but are bending every energy toward maintaining at least the appearance of tranquill.ty in the Philippines until the treaty is disposed of. The report that emallpox is alarmingly prevalent among the soldiers cannot be ver- ified. Secretary Alger says his instructions to Commanders have been to fully report sick and death lists, and he believes that he has received full informat:on, from which an epidemic ig not appurent.

BOUGHT IT. eee ee THE PLANS OF THE COMBINED COMPANIES EXPLAINED. —— a ee American Company Factories to Man- ufacture Only Cigarettes and Smoking Tobacco and the Continental to Confine Itself to Plug. eee ee ae eee The’ Continental Tobacco Co. has secured another big plant in territory tributary lo St. Louis. A deal for the purcttafe, of the St, Charles (Mo,) factory of Wrigh?™Bros. has just been concluded, adding another to the many re- Cent acquisitions of the trust in the West. The Wright Bros.’ plant is @ most impor- tart one, not so much on account of its Magnitude as of the fact that it absolutely controls the trade in a section of the coun- try which the trust has tried in vain to en- ter. Negotiations have been on for some ttme. Confirmation of the sale reached St. Louis Thursday morning. The exact purchase price was not made known. The capitalization of Wright Bros. ig $126,000, but the stock has always been at a premium. he output of the plant averages 2,000,000 pounds of plug tobacco annually, and in ad- dition aimited amount of smoking to- bacc¢ is’ made. As many as 400 men have been employed in the factory at once, and the average number is between 250 and 300. Among the matters discussed while the negotiations were pending was the advisa- bility of removing the plant from St. Charles to St. Louis. A St. Louis repre- sentat've of the Continental Tobacco Co. said Thursday that this question was still open. Such a move would be of the great- est interest to St. Charies, as the company is one of the largest manufacturing con- cerns in the city. The tendency of the Continental Tobac- co Co6..46 said to be toward concentration of its Western plants and tne removal of Wright Bros.’ plant to St. Louis is being urged by certain officers of the company. Simultaneously with the purchase of the be hd, ope Bros. plant another move of great Significance is being made in pursuance of plans in which both the American and Con- tinental compan’es are interested. As s00n as possible the manufacture of Cigarettes and smoking tobacco at the Drummond factory will be discontinued and. the company will manufacture only ; toha ao, ’ The immense addition south of the main rants on Fourth street and the one east of t on Spruce street will be vacated and the Cigarette and:-smoking tobacco plants re- moved to the Catlin factory at Thirteenth and Chestnut street recently purchased by the American Tobacco Co. The object of the two trust is to concentrate the cigarette and smoking tobacco business at the Catlin factory and the plug business at the Drum- mond factory. he authority branches of tne T for this statement is a highofficial of the Continental Tobacco 0. in St, Louis. He outlined to a Post- Dispatch ‘Yeportéer the exact scope of the two “big branches of the trust and stated thatéhe American Tobacco Company would contmue in- business devoting itsel? exclu- sively to the manufacturing of cigarettes and smoking tobacco. It has sold all of lis plug holdings to the Continental Company which will control that end of the business. Thé plants of the two companies are to be kept separate as far as practicable. If pians now under way are carried out there will within a vear be only two trust fac- tories in St. Louis; the Catlin and the Drummond plants. and projected changes include the closing of the factories of the Brown Tobacco Company and the Butler Tobacco Company and the removal of their equipment to the Drummond factory. The buildings to be vacated on the removal of the cigdrette and smoking tobacco plants will, it is said, afford ample space for these factories as well as for that of Wright Brothers. The Wright Bros. factory is regarded as a valuable acquisition, because of the com- pany's large trade in the Southwest, es- pecially in Texas, where it has been a stumbling block to the trust. The owners of the plant were Silas H. Wright and tia Burnett Mr. Wright was formerly a salesman for Brown Bros. of Montgom- ery, Ala. He served his connection with that firm eight vears ago and bought out the St. Charles Tobacco Co. Wright Bros. made a limited amount of smoking tobacco. This end of the business will be either dis- continued or rola :o the American Tobacco Company. Persistent rumors that negotiations are r tne purchase of the Liggett & Myer opacco Co.'s plant by the Union Tobacco Co, are still being circulated. The state- ment has been made that a check for $509.- to cover an option on stock has been deposited with a re company. The atti- M. ©. Wetmore and of Claude Kilpatrick, who represents the io gett heirs, has been one of emphatic dental of every feature of the rumor. Cal. Wetmore repeated his den‘al in em- phaiic terms Thursday, Mf.

Major Charles E. Pearce, representative fn Congress from the Twelfth District of St. Louis, is it. the city, registered at the Pianters’. It was supposed he had come from Washington to consult with the World’s Fair Committee in regard to suit- able Congressional action upon that pro- ject. But this the Congressman denies and gays that while he will, of course, talk to the gentlemen in charge of the affair, his eole purpose in coming to St. Louis at this time is to transact some private busi- Ness. When asked his opinion of the probabil- ities of a large appropriation for the Fair, he «aid: “I do not see why St. Louls should not re- ceive fully as much as Chicago did. I be- lieve Congress stands ready to do what is right on the question. The sole require- meut is that St. Louis put forth concerted effort and bring all the influence possible to bear upon both Houses when the ‘bill is presented. “T regard it as unnecessary and inexpe- dient to introduce such a measure during the present session; besides, I do not see how it is possible to do it under the ex- isting pressure of business. The new Con- gress will have less to do and therefore more time to devote to full consideration of the desired appropriation. ‘‘At the proposed time of opening, it will have been ten years since the Columbian Exposition and so I believe the entire coun- try, as well as the whole world, will be ready for an exhibition that will in mag- nificence and grandeur surpass (Chicago's production. Perhaps the sole drawback to a large gift from Congress is the heavy expense the country has been put to be- cauge of the recent war, and the new army and navy bills. But doubtless if Congress sees that St. Lovis isn earnest in regard to the amount of money raised by local subscription, it will be inclined to follow the good example.’’ “Is there any par@feular site that you would favor?’ ‘No. The one the committee see fit to se- lect will be entirely agreeable to me. There is the possibility that were the location near the river, the House River and Harbor Committee might be induced to make a spe- cial appropriation for its improvement, in addition to whatever action is taken in the general eession. “I have no doubt that if its claims are properly presented, St. Louis will be hand- somely treated, not alone by Congress but by the Legislatures of each of the severai States, and this last matter is not to be neglected. ‘*The holding of the Fair in our city can- mot but be highly beneficial to it, for St. Louis is too solid and substantial to be af- fected by the natural reaction that sets in upon the conclusion of such an enterprise. Tt will greatly increase the city’s wealth and population, and bring St. Louis before the world in such a light that it will the #iore readily assume the position its size and importance justify.”’ NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT. —_— NIGHT as PRICES: dress goods patterns.

The St. Louls Amateur Athletic Club has just gotten out its financial report, and it shows a most encouraging condition of af- fairs. The past year, in fact, has proved that St. Louis can support a first-class ath- letic club. f, This city has long felt the want of a first- Class athletic organization, but not until the formation of the present St, Louis ath- letic club has there been a successful local organization of the kind. The report of the club shows it is in ex- cellent financial condition, with practically no debt to begin the present year with. With proper management the coming year should see a great advance in athletics generally in St. Louis. The financial report shows that over $4000 has been received by the club from mem- berships, and the same amount expended. In return for this the club offers a very pretty club house, two fine tennis courts, which proved so popular that in the early spring at least four more courts will be added. A baseball diamond was also completed | during the year. Although this tated a great deal of grading it is now in very fine condition, and should make one of the best diamonds in the city, A set of golf links have also been provid- ed for out of the money received. links are now in very fair condition, and are being improved daily. Besides ‘these things about 1200 feet of water pipe was laid for the club. So that it will be seen from the foregoing that improvements have been made continually since the formation ol the club. In the early spring a great many improve- ments are propose Handball courts will be built, as a great many calls have been made for this branch of sport. A running track is also proposed, and a number of improvements will be made in the club house, The club now numbers 350 members. [his includes the paid-up members only. With the present improvements practically paid for the condition of the club is most prom- ising for a prosperous year. Practically all of the revenues that will come to the club will be put into improvements which will be enjoyed by the members. A meeting of the club takes place Satur- day at 4:30 p. m. at the club house at Forest Park for the purpose of electing six dl- rectors, A large attendance is expected. The policy of the club as mapped out ir the beginning has been carefully followed. The idea upon which the club was formed is to encourage and advance all the branch- es of amateur sport, and to operate the club upon a basis which will permit every one and ony one at all athletically inclined to enjoy the privileges at a very moderate ex~ pense. When it is considered that every branch of sport, including golf, baseball, track ath- letics, tennis, handball, football, are offered on the basis of $10 a year membership, it will be seen that no objection could be made on the score of expense. THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION. It Was Organized at Rock Island on Wednesday. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ROCK ISLAND, UL, Jan. %.—The West- ern Baseball sAssociation reorganized for the season of 1899 here Wednesday. The cities which compose it are Rock Island, Rockford, Quincy, Ottumwa, Cedar Rapids.

Kinnerk, attorney for Chris Von der Ahe, appeared in Judge Spencer’s division of the Circuit Court Thursday morning. , Phe, attorneys for Muckenfuss were also there, Von der Ahe's attorney wanted Mucken- fuss removed from the receivership of the Sportsman's Park and Club. Neithvr side appeared to be ready with all its testimony and the case by mutual consent was laid over until next Thurs- days morning. “Who are you going to ask the court to appoint in place of Muckenfuss?” Von der Ahe was asked. “Any man in St. Louis, will do me,” was the reply. Some idea of the ill feeling now existing between Von der Ahe and Muckenfuss may be gleaned from the fact that Von der Ahe on Wednesday had a_ special con- étable sworn in to serve a landlord sum- mons on Muckenfuss and he accompanied the constable and saw him deliver the summons to the Muckenfuss residence. Von der Ahe has sued Muckenfuss for several months house rent, and he is de- termined to get him out of the premises he now occupies as soon as the law will permit. Von der Ahe said this morning: “I am the largest creditor of the Sportsman's Park and Club, and certainly should have something to say about who should be the receiver of that property. At any rate, I think Muckenfuss should be removed, and l am going to do my level best to secure his removal.’ Von der Ahe’s attorneys are going to Jef- ferson City early next week to lay the base- ball case before the Supreme Court, and to ask that body to reverse the finding of the lower court. They talked this morning as though they felt sure of winning when it om to a trial before the court of last re- sor black or white, a —— WILL BACK NOEL. A St. Louis Gentleman Offers to Put Up $250 on the St. Louis Bantam. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 26.—In one of the moyYrn- ing papers I notice a nice little knock on Frankie Noel, the St. Louis boy, and on Mike Mooney, one of the squarest men ever) boxing in St. Louis. The writer insinuates that Rauch of Chicago had the best of Noel in their eight-round bout at the Business Men’s Gymnasium, a statement that will make every man who Saw the fight go out in the’ back yard and cac hinate. I write this letter simply to say that I think Noel can lick Rauch any day in the week, and to prove my faith in him I will back him against Rauch for $2), and to make good the proposition I en- close $0. As to the referee part of it, I think there are honest men enough in St. Louis to referee the figpPt without sending all the way to New York for a bad base- ball manager to come here and do that work. Tom Kelly will suit me for that of- fice or Tom Allen or Mike Mooney or any other St. Louis man. I don’t think we ougnt to go out of town for our referees any more than the Chicago or New York eople should go out of town for theirs. i £0 away from home to get a man to fli the ylace is to insinuate that there is not an honent or capable man. here and any St. Louis a that goes-outside for its referee cannot oad 5 -— - -—— WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY.

This peculiarly masculine notion naturally en- countered the opposition of every woman who wanted a clerk- jahip, or thought she might at some future time want such an Office. They gathered in force, and Sullivan's measure was smothered under feminine wrath. This is as it should be.

As the syndicate which ts buying St. Louis street railways may not be “posted” on the situation here, it may be as well “te give it the following information. 2 Louis street cars—those that are being sold—are habit- wally overcrowded at certain hours of the day.

What of a man whose wifé wears hundreds of dol- lars’ worth of diamonds, whose home is magnificently fur- nished, and yet every dollar in the world he has outside of real estate and merehandise is but $227? ‘‘Contrast,’’ says the questioner, ‘a prominent financier whose personal property is $110 with a clerk in a store who admits to $750!" The tax- dodger is being pointed out everywhere, but how are we to reach him and make him pay his share of the public ex- penses? a ~ = = — WHAT A PLACE TO PLUNDER. The appointment of a “colonial commission’’ which shall have charge of franchise granting in Cuba does not alter the character of that wrong nor make it any less unjust. The grant of a franchise is, properly, a legislative act, and shovid-not be usurped by any other authority. The Cuban Legislature, selected by the Cuban people them- selves, should exercise sole and absolute authority over such matters. The President's ‘‘Colonial Commission” exercises a tyrannical power with no warrant in justice or good morals when it licenses corporations to put their hands in the pockets of unborn generations of Cubans. Marshal Blucher being taken to a high place where he be- held the city of London spread out before him, exclaimed, “What a place to plunder.’’ The syndicates and their War Department pals are repeating this with reference to Cuba, and making it good by lawless robbery. —— It will seem remarkable to some men that a Paris sewer la- borer should have given up $120,000 of securities he had found. That laborer’s consciousness of his own rectitude is worth more than a thousand million times $120,000. There can be no comparison between the happy condition of such a man and that of the owner of a great and ill-gotten fortune. &&- a. ~~ The largest fortunes ever made in Wall street have been ac- “uired within the past six months. The gains of the Rockefel- lers, Vanderbilts and Sages are supposed to have ranged be- tween $10,000,000 and $30,000,000, and many men of small means, as well as mere boys, have been confirmed in te gambling hunpit. -+ 6 A morning organ professes to believe that the voters of St. Louis are not tired of Ziegenheinism and Wagenmanism. Perhaps they are not. As they have the expenses to pay, they can test judge as to their weariness. Every good citizen, re- gardless of his political opinions, suffers from bad government.

He said he was exercising functio.s which pertained to a temporary -military oceupetion; that the Ameéficanh soldiers camé as friends; that there was no disposition on the part of the United States government to interfere with the Cubans in the management of the af- fairs of the -island; that iis only pur- pose was to carry out the pledge of main- taining order ard ts assist in the admin- istration until the time when the people were ready to deciare for themselves what their wishes were. He counseled toleration of all classes toward one another and com- plimented the community on the good order which had been preserved. Gen. Lée also expiained how rations were being distrib- uted by direction of the President. He e6aid their distress was fully understood an the American authorities hoped to adopt measures of permanent relief. He hoped ultimately to see the establishment of agricultural banks. Personally he fa- vored a loan of oxen and seed to the peo- ple so that they could put in next sea- son'e crop. Regarding loca) affairs Gen. Lee said it was the policy of the American authori- ties t> have the towns select as far as possible their own officials by getting to- ether and indicating whom they desired. hen he would take appointments in con- formity with their wishes. He also ad- vised them to change their municipal regu- lations to meet the new conditions. Gen. Lee’s speech. was received in excellent spirit. Varioug petitions were presented to him. The Spanish colony, tn a formal document made known tts satisfaction with the Insurgent soldiers for preserving order. Gen. Lee will make trips to other parts of the province. He received many private assurances that as soon as ar- rangements are made for their payment the insurgent troops will disband without trouble. The practice marches of the battalions have been quite beneficial and will be continued. Gen. Lee has prac- tically-decided to move a full brigade from its present camp near Havana to the hills of Candela close to Guines. The location is unusually healthy. Collector Bliss has written letter to Gen. Menocal requesting that he indicate definitely his preference among the Cubans recommended for places in the Custom- house. e understanding was that Meno- eal should indorse applications so as to ive a guarantee of appoiatmen’s satis- actory to the Cubans. Several hundred such indorsements have been made and Menocal has so far refused to make more specific recommendations between indi- viduals. Col. Bliss wants him to take a more direct responsibility. , The Havana newspapers are all agitating the question of the paymeftt of the in- surgent troops. They want a definite plan adopted. As an expression of the wis of the Cuban people, the papers reflecting Spanish sentiment support chee peenens tion.

The guests were Mi Cora Sutherland, Birdie Lytton, Jennie Pendleton, Irma Espenhain and Miss Con- dustry. In the soll pipe branch there has been a movement for some time, but it has been progressing so slowly that some of the concerns are growing impatient. A g00d deal of work has been done under the leadership of Gifford Ladd toward a fusion of the bridge plants of the country. The car builders have had their meetings and the sheet mills have been in conference over a plan to consolidate. The most interesting developments dur- ing the week, however, have been in con- nection with the tinplate industry. The Same parties who carried through the con- solidation in this industry are reported to have perfected now a fusion of the leading makers in the Central West of tinplate bars, five great plants being named, situ- New Castle, Colum- bus and Wheeling. It is reported that ar- rangemegts have been made with one great works in Pittsburg and another in the Wheeling district to secure exclusive con- trol of this branch of raw material. In other words. outside mills are to find it difficult to the needed tinplate bars. : Another important step In the same direc- tion is the completion of the arrangements with foundries and machine shops which make a specialty of tin plate machinery to control their capacity for a considerable period. The effort evidently is to keep out a rush of outside capital into the business. From all quarters come buoyant reports concerning the volume of business and the strength of the market. In pig fron the de- mand is active and what fron is offered is readily snapped up without much quarrel- ing as to prices. There have been some large lots sold for ae gr for delivery dur- ing the sacond half of the year, the aggre- gate being considerably above 50,000 tons. The billet market has been very animated. Eastern buyerg have purchased consider- able quantiti in the central west. In the steel ‘rail trade Pittsburg reports the sale of one block of 30,000 tons while moderate business has been done by other mills. A considerable tonnage of rails for foreign countries is being considered but little has been actually placed. Sales have been very active in bars and in car mate- rial of all kinds. Among the transactions reported is a lot of 40,000 tons for steel cars, to cover the material and for some large contracts recently taken. . Foreign inquir- ies for all-kinds of material continue num- erous and in some cases are pressing, thus showing that the advance has not fright- ened buyers off.

REPUBLICANS HELP IT ALONG. KNEISLEY STARTS THE (FRAY AND WHITECOTTON HELPS. aw ee eee By Parliamentary Tactics the Friends ef the Speaker Are Enabled to Put Over the Carroll Man’s Resolution of Protest. -_-_ Special to the Post-Dispatch. a JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 26.—The Filipino outbreak of Tuesday came up in a new form in the House this morning when Kneisley of Carroll offered a resolution de- claring it to be the sense of the House that no menrber ought to receive double pay. The resolution was aimed at Speaker Ward, who is drawing pay as a member of the House and as a member of the Auditing Committee, The Republicans failed to sup- port the Filipinos. when they ralsed the question Tuesday and last night the Re- publicans, feeling that they had made a mistake, held a caucus in which they eed to uphold Kneisley’s resolution, Saree sé eialey's resolution was read this morning, Davis of Pike moved that it be referred to committee. Woods spoke against reference. Davis asked: ‘‘Isn’t it true that the Republicans caucused on thelr reso- lution last night?” “f am not at liberty to tell what hap- pened in a Republican caucus in secret ses- gion,” was Woods’ reply. “That is a fact, just the same,” said Da- vis, “everybody knew it last night.” “Then you have had time to think about it and know what you want to do,” said Woods. For the next ten minutes there was a general cross-fire between regulars and Filipinos, with an occasional comment by Republicans. Jones of Howell said it was nobody's business whether the Republicans cau- cused or not. The previous question was moved three times, but Ward got out of rutting it because the movers spoke out ba ato they had been recognized and the Speaker wanted to give the House a chance to. debate the matter. Whitecotton made a fiery speech, in which he eaid he had never dreamed of such a thing as that a member of thie House would publicly say that he intended to draw two salaries from the State at the same time. He had deen etunned with amazement when one member (Ward) said he expected to draw pay as a member of the Legislature and as a member of the Auditing Committee. He read records of previous Legislatures. “Mr. Speaker,” he said, ‘‘it has been said that we are. destroying the Democratic party. From the throne comes the word that we are about to destroy the party. If it destroys the Democratic party for us to say that no Democrat shall draw pay from the State for work he did not do, then let it destroy. I for one am willing to stand with that man who never permitted such an imposition on the State.’’ Finally Mr. Bohart jumped to his feet and ide a point of order that the morn- ing hour had expired. peaker Ward was glad to dispose of the matter and sustained the call for the regu- lar order. Hall, Whitecotton and Kneisley each took a turn at getting recognition and finally Knefsley uppéaled From the decision of the chair. The ayes amd noes were called for and the roll call was begun. Points of order. were made against the roll call by friends of the Speaker. Whitecotton arose and said that to ‘“‘relleve the chair from embarrassment” he asked Mr. Kneisley to withdfaw that appeal. clared he Was not asking favors, whereupon Kneisley shouted that he would do it any- way if the Chir did not ask it. The appeal being withdrawn. Whitecotton moved that the rules be suspended and the resolution disposed of at this time. Ward declared this motion out of order under the rules and proceeded at once to the next order of business, calling for reports of committees. The Chair is thus enabled to get a little breath by the time the matter comes up in the morning hour to-morrow. The Fil- lipinos, if the Republicans vote with them, have a sufficient number of votes to adopt the resolution. The Bryant & Stratton Business and 2 Shorthand School.

As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the CALIFORNIA Fia Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact wil] assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par- ties.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFDRSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 26.—One of the most petuliar cases Supreme Court judges in this State were ever; called upon to decide is that of the. State at the rela- tion of Morris Hezel et al., relators, against Charles C. Bland and Henry W. Bond, judges of the St. Louis Court of Appeals, respondents. The case involves a serious cisagreement between the appellate judges and brings out in the testimony of Judge Biggs the fact that he came all the way from Wisconsin to St. Louis to write a diesenting opinion ‘in a case in which Dennis Devoy and Mr. Groover were inter- ested, and at their. request, The case as it appears now is an origi- nal proceeding in mandamus brought by re- ‘lators to’‘compel respondents to certify to the Supreme Court a certain cause in which a judgment of the St. Louis Circuit Court ,waa reversed and the cause remand- ed by them to the St. Louis Circuit Court, June 21, 1898, wherein the Barber Asphalt Paving Company was appellant and Mor- ris Hegel et al. were respondents; the same being an appeal from court room No. 5 of the Circuit Court. ‘L, B. Valliant, presid- ng. Fhe case was originally appealed to the Supreme Court and was later certified to the St. Louis Court of Appeals, under an opinion written by Chief Justice Gantt. It Was. argued in the Court of Appeals on March 26, 1897, by Adiel Sherwood, attorney for appellant. ‘ Respondents were not represented and filed no brief. Judge Bland took the case for decision. Before deciding it, it was agreed that he should wait for the decision of another and similar case by the Supreme {‘ourt. In May, 1898, this case, that of the Seaboard National Bank against Woestin was sent back to the Court of Appeals, and, there being no further cause for delay, Judge Bland took up the Hezel case. He reversed and remanded the case, which opinion was agreed to by Judge Bond, Judge Biggs being absent. The opinion was handed down June 21, 1898. Just after May 24, 1898, Judge Biggs, one of the judges of the St. Louis Court of Appeals, left the city of St. Louis, and his whereabouts was unknown either to Judge Bland or Judge Bond; when court met May 24. 1898, Judge Biggs was present and court adjourned until May 31, 1898, on which day Judge Biggs was not present; court a® journed on that day to June 4, 1898, and on that date to June 21, 189%, and on that date to July 5, 1898, and neither on June 17 nor June 21 was Judge Biggs pres- ent. He was not present in court again till July 5, 1898; in short, the last time he was present in court, as shown by the records of the court, was May 24, 1898, and, as was said before, the mandate from the Seabord case sent down from the Su- preme Court was filed in the Court of Ap- peals June 7, 1898. The whole case turns upon the contention or respondents, Judges Bond and Bland, that Judge Biggs was not sitting as a judge at the time when the case was considered, and that. therefore, he had no right to in- terfere in it. Saturday, July 2, 1898, Judge Biggs, at the request of Dennis Devoy, returned from Minnesota to St. Louls, whence he had gone with his family to spend his summer vacation, and prepared a dissenting opinion in the Hezel case, in which he asked that the case be certified to the Supreme Court on account of the conflict between the opin- jon announced by the majority and_the opinion of the Supreme Court in the Ver- din case. and the majority of the court be- lieving that he had not been a judge sitting in the cause, refused to certify the case, and afterward the present proceeding was brought by relators., | The AB a4 way to settle the question was by testimony. Judges Bland, Bond and ig@s and the clerk of the court, John H. Murphy, were examined by Mr. Hiram Grover for relators and Adiel Sherwood for respondents, i i In his testimony Judge Biggs stated: “I left St. Louis June 11 believing that all business of my court had been disposed of, and 1 went to Battle Lake, Minn., with my family. Some time in the latter part of June, I don’t remember when, I received a St. Louls paper. and reading it over I found where the Court of Appeals had disposed of the Hegel case and the case of Schaefer against the railroad. In a few days after that Mr. Devoy came to Battle Creek and brought a request that I return to Si. Louls."’ He returned to St. Louis, wrote a dissent- ing opinion, and asked that the case be cer. titied to the Supreme Court. On cross-examination the following collo- guy occurred between Mr. Sherwood and udge Biggs. Ae I underatand you, Judge, you left here on June 11, 18%, taking your family to Min- nesota?’’ aa, ior,” “And I think you sald you came back here at the request of Mr. Grover, sent to Min. nesota to you by Mr. Devoy, who took to you a copy of the opinion handed down in the Hegel case?" “Yes, sir; also a copy of the opinion of the Supreme Court sending the Seaboard National Bank case back here.”’ ‘That is all.” Benton Law School Bill Killed.

Turning to the Philippines—Measures Affecting St. Louis Interests. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFDPRSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 26.—The Senate took a turn at the Philippine ques- tion this morning. Senator Martin of St. Louis. introduced a resolution asking Mis- souri’s United States Senators to vote for the peace treaty before the Senate, Sena- tor Davisson of Harrison offered a substi- tute to the same effect, except it had a long preamble. Senator Vandiver at once moved that both resolutions be referred to the Committee on Federal Relations, After a short discussion, Davisson withdrew his resolution when he learned that Senator Mett was the only Republican member of the committee. The other resolution was then referred. Senator Farris introduced a bill which provides that all dramshop license fees in St. Louis be paid directly into the State treasury instead of being collected by the Collector. He estimates that the Collector receives in fees from $10,000 to $15,000 for collecting these licenses, which he proposes to save to the State and city by this bill Senator Drabelle introduced a bill giving Missouri life and accident insurance com- panies the same rights as are given foreign insurance companies. It is the same as the New York law. Senator Clay introduced a bill requiring that criminal laws be taught in the pub- lic schools of the State. Senator Farris introduced a bill giving the judges of the St, Louis Court of Ap- peals authority to appoint additiona] jus- tices of the peace for St. Louis districts Which have more than 2250 cases annually. Senator Farris introduced a bill providing for a school book commission to devise a plan of publishing text books and furnish- ing them free to the people. This commis- sion is to consist of three members, to be appointed by the Governor. They are to report to the next General Assembly. Each member receives a salary of $5 per day on this commission and appoints a clerk at $3.50 per day, The Senate In executive session to-day confirmed the appointmerits of H. E. Rob- inson of Maryville and A. CC. Abercrombie of St. Joseph to succeed themselves on the State Board of Charities and Corrections and Harry B. Hawes to be police commis- sloner of St. Louis.

The crowd heenine excited at the opening and May started 1@i%c higher, at 76@76%c, and as there was po wheat offering it took very little demand to send May up to 76%ec. Af this point, however, yeater- day's buyers took advantage of the leanepecubent to secure profits, and tn a few minutes Mar sold down to T9%c. Cables made a full response to (he advance here yesterday, Liverpool quotations showing a rise of 14@1%d. News from abroad at- tracted little attention and anything that sounded hearish was ignored entirely. The market soon demonstrated that it had good friends. and they came ~~, to its support... They did not walt for bul] news but started buying with such energy that the offerings became acarce. while May kept soaring uati' it reached 76 w'.« Tt WAS reported that Wall street was engineering a good deal of the buying and this was sabstantiated by the fact that the most energetic demand came from bonuses which are known to have Wa'l atreet connectiona. The idea that Wall street operators had become so thoroughly es on the buring side started shorts cover! and also led to liberal buying for the long aecennt. St. Louis sent numerous orders around 76c, and the demand becdiné «o urgent that May touched T7¢ for a wiveate. then reacted to T6%c.

BRANDT SHOE CO., CORNER BROADWAY TO CUT OFF HER HAIR, -— — HIGHWAYMAN THREATENED A WOMAN ON A BRIDGE. FLOURISHED A SHARP KNIFE. Wictim Screamed and a Carriage Driver Went to Her Rescue—Wo- man Disappeared. Henry Ploetze of 607 Rutger street, a driver for the Adolph Meyer Livery Co., 601 Park avenue, prevented an unidentified man from robbing a woman on the Grand Avenue Bridge about 6 o’clock Tuesday evening. According to Ploetze he was driving north on the Grand Avenue Bridge at a glow gait. As he neared the center of the bridge he heard a woman’s screams and, turning around in his seat, saw a man with a knife, holding a woman's hand. A little girl with the woman was grasping the bridge railing and seemed too fright- ened to even scream. Ploetze says he pulled his team to a @tandstill and as he did so the man made @ motion as if to roduce a revolver. epestne turned the reins over to a friend w was riding on the seat with him and started to dismount. As soon as he reach- ed the ground the would-be highwayman turned and ran at fuil speed south on the bridge and caught @n e@ast-bound car on Chouteau ave- nue. Ploetze walked his team to Man- — avenue, where the woman said she ved. The woman refused to give her name, but sa'd the man had threatened to cut her hair off if she did not give him her rse and jewelry. Ploetze was driving or a wedding party of some of his rela- tives, and a cousin of his was on the box with him showing him where to go. He said the woman’ was dressed in the very best of clothing, is about 20 years old, a brunette and handsome, He offered to take her home, but when they arrived at Manchester avenue she refused to allow dim to accompany her any farther.

Screams Were Heart-Breaking, 3 Doctors & Institute no Avail. CURED BY CUTICURA. My little boy broke out with an itching rash. I tried three doctors and medical college but he kept getting worse. There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body unaffected. He was one mass of sores, and the stench was frightful. At the time I was induced to try Curicura remedies, he was so bad that I had to cut his hair all off,and put the Curicura (ointment) on him on bandages, as it was im- possible to touch him with the bare hand. In removing the bandages they would take the skin with them, and the poor child's screams were heart-breaking.

CHARGES PROVEN UNTRUE. An Investigation by the Officials Which Resulted in the Defeat of Those Who Had Made Trouble. The Board of Directors of the Working Girls’ Home, 1424 Washington avenue, has been torn with conflicting emotions re- cently. Ags a result of internal] convulsions it has lost one of its members. Miss Susie McCarron is no longer a member of the organization. She says she is out for all time and will have nothing more to do with the home, A young woman with a ready tongué is said to have caused all of the trouble. She told things which influenced Miss McCar- ron to leave the place. Her name is Dora Taylor and urméil recently she was one of the boarders at the home. The institution ig intended for unem- ployed working girls, who are provided board and lodging at a cost of $1.15 a week. The matron of the home is Mrs. M. §S. Weir, who received the position on the rec- ommendation of the wife of Bishop Dan- lel S. Tuttle of the Episcopal diocese of Missouri, Mrs. Weir dismissed Miss Taylor from the home two weeks ago, from which time dates the discussion that resulted in Miss McCarron’s resignation. Miss Taylor wnen she went to the honie asked that she be given a room to herself. Mrs. Weir refused to grant the request. Miss Taylor was persistent. She com- plained that the rooms were untidy and made statements which led to her dismissal from the home, After this she is alleged to have made a tour of the directors and preferred sert- ous charges involving the conduct of vari- ous persons, some of them members of the board. She visited City Assessor A. H. Frederick, President of the home, and W. McClain, P. M. Harrison, Miss Nettie Spence and Miss Susie McCarron, all mem- bers of the board. Miss Spence and Miss McCarron are both employed as investigators by the Provident Association. When Miss McCarron learned the nature of Miss Taylor’s charges she went to Mr. McClain and insisted on re- signing. Miss Spence acted less hurriedly. She started an investigation. This she says shows that the grave charges made are without foundation. Miss McCarron would consent to make a Statement only through Miss Spence, whom she authorized to say that she was out of the board, and that she resigned because she was unable to serve the home as she should. The charges made awakened her to the responsibilities of the position. Treasurer W. H. McClain of the board says investigation has disproved the charges made against officials of the home, GOT AWAY WITH DIAMONDS Thief Robbed Mr. John A. Warner of a Jewel Case Containing $300 Worth of Jewels. Mr. John A. Warner, a guest of the Vic- torla Hotel, 4030 West Belle place, was robbed of a morocco leather jewel case containing jewels valued at $300 last even- ing at 6:30 o’clock while at supper. Mr. Warner and family have a suite of rooms on the first floor of the hotel. In one of the rooms there is a door leading to the back yard, When the Warner family went to supper the thief evidently came in the front door. The door is never latched and people are constantly going in or out. The door of one of the Warner rooms was open, and the robber went in. Mr. Warner Says he must have entered the rooms while the thief was sti]! there, because he had up- set everything, but when forced to retreat took only the morocco case, as that was the only thing fh sight. In another of the rooms the dresser was all rummaged and the trinkets were gathered in a small heap. It was evidently the thief’s intention to take these also, but being disturbed by Mr. War- her s entrance he was forced to leave them, He escaped by th found open. y the rear door, which was The morocco jewel] case of diamond earrings, a Past (Chancellor jewel and half a dozen rings belonging to the children. Two other houses were robbed, At one place the thief was seen getting away. He is described as a young man, with a black mustache. He wore a culaway coat, light trousers and black Derby.

VENDERS’ WAR Palermans Proceeding to Have the Sunday Law Enforced Against the Sicilians. There are rumblings of war in the col- ony of Italians in St. Louls who retail bananas. One faction insists on vending the nourishing and palatable fruit on Sun- day and another contingent wants Sabbath breaking stopped by the strong arm of the law. The Mayor has been appealed to and a lawyer has been consulted. Prosecutions may result. It is not solely a question of Sabbatarian principle that is involved, There is a mat- ter of local pride at stake. One of the champions of law and order explained the fight in this wise: “Some Italian men, they believe in keep- ing Sunday in not selling the banana on that day. They eay it is against the law and against the rules of the church to work on the Sunday. Other Italian men they eay they sell the banana on the Sun- day the same as on the week day. If it is against the law they do not know it, for the police do not tel] them they must quit. And they sell. This is not right, for it makes all the Italian men who seli the banana look like the lawbreaker. These men they and ring t house comes to the door try to sell her the banana. She does not like to be disturbed on Sunday and it makes her not like the nana seller. “That sort of thing hurts us all. It ts done by what we cal] greenhorns. Such peo- pie are mst of them Sicilians. We who are against ji are from Palermo. We £0 to church on the Sunday and we do not wish to break the law.” Attorney Percival Adams has been con- sulléd az the bapana venders who want the Sunday law enforced, and as soon as arrangements about his fee are completed he will take steps to have the Sabbath breakers punished. Tony Spaguti and Cosmo Macudea are said to be the leaders in the crusade yr the vending of bananas on Sunday. he offenders are said to be newcomers from Detroit, who have not yet been ad- mitted into full fellowship with the es- tablished hawkers and fruit-stand men. ———— LNT amen | j Pancy Japanned Foot 15c Pan—No. 7,8 or 9— Ps worth 25c, 29c and oFite my ctioteel 9c Imitation Cut Glass.
