The check was given in payment for a_ handsome organ that Stecker ordered built | for the Holy Rosary Church, Newstead and ; FIVE MINUTES AFTER THE FIRE STARTED. . Queseess the daily lunch for the bar was to be cooked. The stove was in the rear of the -€aloon. Johnson turned the key of one of the burners so that the gasoline flowed freely. He then ran .o the bar and pro- cured a match, which he ignited and ap- plied to the burner before he had stopped the rapid flow of the gasoline. The blaze flashed high into the air and communicated itself, through the feed tube, to the two-gallon reservoir. There was a loud report and the burning liquid was forced from the tank and thrown upon’ the walls and floor of the room. Kossuth avenyes, of which Rev. Father | Daniel J. Lavery is pastor. The issuance of the warrant will occasion no little surprise in the Holy Rosary Par- ish, where Fletcher was considered one of the pillars of the church. Wednesday at noon Rev. Father Lavery, E. A. Pfeffer of the organ building firm of J. C. Pfeffer & Sons, and Detectives Bra- dy and Ziegler applied for a warrant to Assistunt Prosecuting Attorney Johnson. The warrant was issued and was placed in the hands of a deputy marshal for service, It charges Stecker with naving obtained the organ under false pretenses. | According to the story told Col. Johnson, iT. Francis Stecker came to St. Louis about six months ago. He was a man of fine appearance, dressed well, appeared prosperous and established himself in busi- ness on Olive street, east of Fourth, ae the St. Louls agent of a Chicago lithographing ' establishment. . | When Steckér came to St. Louis he be- gan attending the Holy Rosary Church. He appearel to be of an unusually religious bent and intelligent, and he became on in- tiniate terms with Father Lavery lc is said that he took a high place in so- celal ctecles, and married the widow of the late Dr. L. T. Crucius. Stecker tok such an interest in church work that when it was suggested that the church needed a new organ he told Father Lavery that he would buy the instrument himself and present it to the church asa memorial. he kind offer was gladly ac- cepted. ’ _$teocker opened negotiations with J.C... Pfeffer @ Son for the building of the organ. He represented to the organ builders that he ~was wealthy and referred them to Fr. Lavery: His appearance was such that no questions were asked and the organ was built and »placed in the church. Last Saturday A. E. Pfeffer made an ap- pointment with Stecker and they met at the Planters’ Hotel. Stecker was well pleased with the organ that had been built for his order and he said it was perfectly satisfactory. . He filled out a check on the Third Na- tional Bank for $2000. During the conver- sation Stecker told Pfeffer that he had $30,000 lying idle and he guessed there would be no trouble about cashing it When the check was presented for pay- ment the bank officials said that Fletcher not only had no deposit there, but he was unknown to them. Pfeffer saw Father Lavery and told him what had happened, The good prfest could hardly credit the re- port. but when irrefutable evidence was laid before him he could doubt no longer. The police were appealed to, and the transaction thoroughly canvassed. When CROUND HOG SHANOW, | ONE BEAD AND ONE URED FRISKY ANIMAL WILL SEE HIS REFLECTION THURSDAY. SIX WEEKS MORE OF WINTER.

James Taylor, colored, a teamster em- ployed by the Metropolitan Improvement Co., is dead, and another negro, Alphonse Berger, is painfully injured, as the result of a protracted quarrel at Levee and Pine streets Wednesday morning. Accounts of the tragedy are conflicting. Whether Taylor fell from hie wagon and broke his neck while firing at his antugonist or was shot to death has not been deter- mined. There were no traces of bullet holes on his body when he was picked up, but there was an ugly gash below his nose. It wae not that of a pistol ball, and is be- lieved to have been sustained in the fall. The revulver found on Berger after his arrest was still loaded and no other weapon was seen in his possession. Berger is a driver, for Chris Schawacker. .Both were hauling snow to the barge at the foot of Olive street, where it was dumped into the river. Berger, it appears, objected to Taylor driving in front of him and blocking his passage. A fight. started at 8 o'clock in the morning. ' Taylor showed his pistol, it is said, and threatened to shoot Berger if he persisted in bothering him. Thereupon Berger got | his ‘‘gang’’ and Taylor was also reinforced, | battle ensued and Jim Taylor | was chased onto the barge near Pine street. The watchman ordered him out. About 10 o’clock the quarrel was renewed. This time Berger, it seemed was the ag- gressor. “I don't want to have any more trouble with vou,” Taylor was heard to say. After a while the men met again. Taylor was on his wagon, within fifty feet of the barge. A short distance awnzy was Berger and his two brothers, Henry and Bernard. There were a score of other men around. They say Berger asked Taylor if he still had his “gun’’ with him, he latter re- plied that he had and would use iy if nec- essary. Berger then drew a thirty-two caliber pis- tol from his pocket, and as he did Taylor fired twice. The first bullet went wide and the second struck Berger in the arm. it was noticed that the latter snapped his pistol and a moment later Taylor toppled wagon and fell dead on the ‘ ground.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Feb. 1.—No call was held ongthe Colorado Springe Min- ing Exchange to-day, business being sus- pended for a day te alow the -Clearing House to cateh up with its work. Notwith- standing the splendid organization of the Clearing House, the employment of all the extra men obtainable for this kind of work, and all night work, the enormous sales on the Exchange have thrown the Clearing House two days behind. The volume of business now being trans- acted here is unprecedented.

Many a man would be glad of the chance of doing the work done by the two stationery clerks, or the two postal clerks. .The large engrossing and enrolling forces have been on the pay- roll for nearly a month, and the work of engrossing bills has just been commenced, while not a single bill has been enrolled. ' On the Doorkeeper’s staff there are two em- 'ployes who labor under the titles of su- perintendent of heat and ventilation and assistant superintendant of heat and ven- tilation. Their sole duty is to see that the House chamber ia kept at the proper tem- and from the number of pro- tests entered by members against the way the chamber was heated and not ventilated during the first three week of the session, the incumbents found their titles as much as they could carry, without ‘burdening themselves further with the duties of their positions es The custodian of the cloakroom—how like a court calendar al] this reads—is another much-titled officer for whem it has been found necessary to provide an assistant. Two water carriers are provided to fill the two water tanks of the House. Each holds about ten gallons and ‘t has never been found necessary to r@®il them in one day. The Doorkeeper has also the assistance of a messenger and a messenger clerk, yet his sole duty is to attend the door and announce the coming of the eec- retary of the Senate or the Governor's pri- vate secretary. There has been a good deal of grumbling among some members about the number of women who hold position cal forces of the House and Senate. Ex- clusive of those holding committee clerk- ships, there are 25 women holding posi- tions in the House. Some of the members who secured places for women have been severely criticised for so doing by the men among their constituents who voted and worked for them, and who either wanted places themselves, or had friends who wanted positions. John Smith of St. Louis is threatening to introduce a resolution to bar women from the force. Another source of much complaint is the tendency of many members to gobble all the places they can lay their hands on for their relatives. Twenty-four members have put relatives in positions on the var- lous forces of the House, exclusive of the committee clerks. In one case a member has a 14-year-old daughter on the smooth nc pm force, where the work requires the st penmanship and the greatest care and attention. If she fulfills her duties the work cannot but injyre her health, as it is confining. She was taken from school to be put in this position Another mem- ber has a son and daughter on the force. A third has his daughter and her flance on the force. Two have taken their boys from school to serve as pages. Both' of these latter are well-to-do men. It must not be forgotten that Col. Bill Phelps is represented on the force. Two men who are publicly identified with him and his work in the Legislature, hold po- sitions. One is charged with the distribu- tion of passes for the Colonel and the other looks after the bills for him. Both hold resvnorsible positions, Flouse-“‘Diamond’’ John Smith of St. Louis started a buzz saw in operation this morning by introducing a resolution tn the House declaring that only party workers and voters should be recognized in the dis- tribution of the patronage of the House. The resolution recited that many females and minors are employed on the clerican force and called for their inymediate diss- missal. Speaker Ward ruled that the resolution go over under the rules until to-morrow. Smith appealed from the decision of the chair and demanded a roll call. The House sustained the Speaker and the resolution went to the committee on clerical force. Jones of Howell, Republican, brought to the attention of the ouge the recent ac- tivity displayed by Col. William H. Phelps Joka H. Carroll about the Capitol that Gov. Stephens and Col, Phelps are running a ‘joint lobby.”” Speaker Ward ruled the resolution out of order. To-day Wight of Randolph, chairman of the House Committee on Banks, introduced a bill lig that no bank, State or pri- vate, may lend money to any one person, firm or corporation more than the equiva- lent of the bank’s paid-up capital. Burleigh of St. Louis introduced a Dill providing that no person can be a director of a State bank who is not a resident of Missouri. FILIPINOS HOLD OUT. They Have Not Given In to the House Regulars. Specia) to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.. Feb. 1L.—It must not be supposed that becauge the Filipinos went into the Democratic caucus yester- day afternoon, they have surrendered their position against bills that seek further to encroach upon the rights of cities to gov- ern themeelves, or that add anything to the influence or patronage of the Governor | in the cities. The Filipinos are much in- censed at the report in the St. Louis “or- an’’ that they have surrendered. “We stand now,” said Mr. Whitecotton, “just where we have stood during the entire ses- sion, unalterably opposed to all legislation that seeks further to take away from the cities the democratic right to local seif- government. We positively decline to be bound by caucus action on said bills. They are not fit subjects for caucus action. We went into the caucus yesterday because we are Democrats. No attempt has been made to force us away from our position, and we will decline to submit to any attempt in that lines which may be made. Our posi- tion Is Democratic, and no Democratic cau. cus can make us abandon Democratic doc. trine.” IF YOU FAIL TO PAY TAXES The Penalty Will Be One Per Cent a Month. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

The stories were not of the kind that the Senate could investigate with any certainty of arriv- ing ,at the truth, and it was thought best merely to bar al] persons from committee rooms in order to reach the undesirable in. dividuals under suspicion. These scandalous stores were discussed in gingerly fashion by the Senators in ex- ecutive session yesterday and the action of the Sergeant-at-Arms this morning was the result of that discussion. TAXATION OF MORTGAGES. Bill to Make Non-Resident Capitalists Pay Their Share. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 1.—Senator Mermod & Jaccard Art Store, 514 Locust. Francis Wilson of Platte County intro- duced a joint and concurrent resolution in the Senate this morning, which ie of far- reaching importance. In brief, it provides for the assessment and taxation of all mort- gages. and deeds of trust provided for by law. The idea of the Benator’s resolu- tion is to bring under taxation hundreds vf millions of dollars’ worth of mortgages held by persons in other States, which now escape taxation, or the taxés upon which are now paid by the persons who are in possession of the property mortgaged. If “A’’ owns a farm worth $10,000 and “B”’ holds a mortgage of $5000 on it, under Sen- ator Wilson's resolution “A" would pay the tax upon the $5000 interest which he actually possesses in the farm, and “s” would pay the taxes on the $3000 mortgage he holds. If “A” pays the taxes on both, the amount of the tax and the mortgage is credited to him against the parteane. and if “B” pays the tax on both, € amount of the tax on the farm is added to the amount of the mortgage. If “B” de- clines to pay taxes on the mortgage and “A” does not pay it, the amoung of the tax is a lien on the mortgage, which may be sold to satisfy the lien. RILLS IN THE HOUSE. Measure to Prevent Doctors From Fill- ing Their Own Prescriptions. Special to the Post-Dispatehb. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb, 1.—In the House to-day _ Wilson of St. Louis, who is a physician, Witroduced a bill prohibiting doctors from filling their own prescrip- tions. Chinn introduced a bill which is an echo of the Filipinos’ fight on double pay. It provides that committees composed of membegs of the Legislature shall not draw double pay for their services. Dalzell introduced a bill making it a felony ta conduct a gambling device of any kind or deser:ption. It includes A, B, C, faro bank, O., Roulette, equality, keno slot machines, stands or devices of any kind. The penalty for violation ta impris- onment from two to five years in the peni- tentiary. Charles A. Smith of St. Louls introduced a bill which gives the Bertillon system of measurement of criminals legal standing in issouri. The bill makes it mandatory that 1e Bertillon system be put in use in the enitentiary and police departments of the tate. The House passed a bill by Hawkins of Marion. which amends the present law concerning the asxessment of and colilec- tion of revenue by classifying taxable prop- erty into 12 divisions Slate of Maries County was made happy this morning by the favorable report of the Committee on Ways and Méans on his much discussed assessment bill. The bill ig reported favorably without amendment The fight over interest rates, which em- ployed the House half a dav last week, was renewed to-day over Whitecotton’s bill, making the legal! rate of interest 6 per cent. It was called up for passage. Pareira of St. Louls, tapos | the bill, said it was unnecessary, because bank- ers of St. Louis had told him that the banks were overflowing with money which could be had on easy terms.

LOCATIONS OF SALOONS? itcannot be doubted that, if the question were put to them, & majority of the respectable citizens who are not opposed to the liquor traffic would join with “temperance” people in a demand that the limit law shall be re-enacted. However orderly a saloon may be in its conduct, it ig evi- dently out of place in close proximity to a school, a church or a hospital. A saloon may be conducted with strict regard for decency, and yet it is impossible to guard against disor- derly characters Invading it and creating disturbances. Houses of worship and buildings dedicated to the cause of éed- ucation or the relief of suffering ought to be protected as much as possible from the danger of disturbance on account of saloon rows. - The 100-yard limit law was repealed without the general knowledge of the people. It ought to be revived and enforced asiong as public sentiment demands it. .

During a severe cold spell humanity demands that misery shall find prompt relief. = =~ ™ — a ae “DERELICT ORGANS. The Republicun organs in this city have in one respect failed in their duty to their bosses. They indicted the Major Committee for partiality before it acted at all. They have ingeniously endeavored to create the impression that facts brought to light by Democrats do not count, and that the exposure of Republican rascals by a committee containing ‘a majority of Democrats does not affect the reputation or official usefulness of’ the rascals. They have done more—they have carefully screened the evidence fof Republican rascality brought out by the Mafor Compittee undcr a cloud of Republican oratory and pro- tests and have refrained from commenting on the villainy of selling engineers’ licenses and of endangering thousands of lives thereby. s But. they have refrained from doing the one thing moré@ required for the full comfort and protection due the bosses from obedient organs. They have not yet justified boodling, they have not commended the sale of licenses, the endangering of lives, the stuffing of pay-rolls and the keeping of rascMis in office. The organs of the Ziegenhein-Wurzburger-Besch-Price gang should wake up and do their duty. i> ~ i i Seven new trusts were announced in one day last week.

Suggestion of a Way to Avoid Viola- tion of the Constitrtion. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch The Legislatures of the many States comprised within the Louisiana Purchase, are now in session. There is no loyal Mis- sourian who does not hope that the .law- making bodies of these States may, with- out delay, make adequate appropriations to celebrate in a worthy manner an event that pushed the borders of the young Re- public from the Mississippi to the far away Rocky Mountains, and converted this vast domain from a colony of the military dic- tator of France into an intergral part of the Union. But until the Legislature of Missour! bae taken the lead and made an appropriation how can we ask or expect other States to show their l‘berality? The fear has been expressed that our Leg- islature can do nothing. Our State constitution has been quoted s showing that the Legislature is tied hand and. foot by constitutional enaci- ments, and that no relief can be had til the constitution has been changed. . The constitution provides (Section 4, Ar. ticle 4): “The General Assembly shall have no power to make any grant of public mon- eys or things of vaiue to any individual, association of individuals, municipal or oth- er c ration whatsoever. N6 constitutional amendment can be eub- mitted to the voters till the next general election, which occurs in November, 1909, and if, at such time, the constitution is changed, the first Leg:siature that can be convened thereafter will be the regular ses- sion which meets in January, 190). If all this time must be lost, the situa- tion ia desperate, for not only will the lack of time in. preparing for the exposit-on be a crippling influence, but it will be difficult to spur other States to activity when our own State during the (wo years hee done noth'ne.

He must net forget to take his lady love to the theat oceationally and ajso supply er wi jenty of candy He must never Cian * at leaving. But few gircle will Be satisfied with one kiss.

ANGOL IS NEXT IN ORDER. os Then Comes Briar Sweet, St. Cloud, The Huguenot, Peep O’Day, Lieber Karl and Others. Jim Gore II, the favorite was beaten in the ‘six furlong handicap at the Crescent City on Tuesday. Apple Jack, with little Troxler up took that event at the-good oddg of 7 to 1. Ben Frost, the favorite in the first race was beaten by Henry Lount, who won the race in a walk, pulled up and by three lengths. In the mile and three-quarters, Burns Plloted Double Dummy in a winner. He won by three length and with 3 to 1 as the price against him. Abuse as usual took the five furlongs owner's handicap at Oakland, Tuesday. He was in at 8) pounds and with Hal Brown riding he made a runaway race of it and won just about as he pleased. He was an odds-on favorite, 7 to 10 being the price laid. David Tenny and Abuse were the only favorites to ‘and af Oakland, the other four being bowled over badly. 4000 cards are offered at both Oakland and at New Orleans for this afternoon. Last year at this time Charley Patter- 60n's barn was the center of attraction on account of Ornament being quartered there, @aye the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. This year there is no one horse at Mont- gomery Park that claims the attention of every visitor. This is due to the fact that none of the older division has gained pre- eminence on the turf such as Ornament at- tained, but in every barn at the track there are from one to tour 2-year-olds, the own- ers. of which think will prove of Derby class, and it i# this division of sentiment, as to which is the cracker-jack of the big tag that adds interest to the coming meet- The weights for the Brooklyn and the Suburban, the two b.g Eastern handicaps, are out. Ben Holladay has. been assigned top Weight in both. In the May race he has.to carry 127 pounds. and in the sister contest in June 29 pounds. Algol gets in at 124 in the Brooklyn and at 125 in the Suburban. The estimate that the handicapper has placed on Ben Holladay’s ability to run a mile and a quarter in the fast time these two races call for Appears to be. to draw it mild, a very highly pitched one. Holla- day is a notorious “glutton’’ and requires several-hard races in him before he can be relied on to show his true worth. To ask him to present a quick ‘“‘comer-on.” such as Algol w.th weight, appears absurd, and, with the son of imp. Topgallant in anything approaching his best form, Holladay won't see the way the Schorrs’ speedy and hand- Some ny Sane goes. riar Sweet is-the baby that the - dates for the two big wandicane of che ari racing campaign will have to beat. Jen- nin magnificent mare is in at 120 pounds, and, as she has all the ear marks of a Firenzi in her makeup, the thoroughbred that takes the taw of the daughter of Sweet Briar will come mighty close to annexing whichever race Briar Sweet is sent for. Below is presented, {n full, for the two big races: The Brooklyn handicap of $10,000, for 3- year-olds and upwards. Poo each, half for- feit, or only $15 if declared by Feb. 20.

Tuesday night the crack All-Canadian Hockey Club scored another victory over a team composed of St. Loui ? a ington Universities and High School Ndi The scholastic seven put up an excelient and nervy contest, but were outgeneraled by the Canucks’ team-work and better knowledge of the angles of the game. ’ The St. Louis lads falied to score, and were blanked by the Canadians, who gath- ered in three goals. For the collegians Sam Sample, Joe Forsham and J. Menown did good work in the advance field, and Julius Bischoff effectively blocked many a hard try of Woods and his Canadian cohorts for goal. Beaumont and Richardson were aggres- sive forwards, and the playing of the game showed what wonderful progress the ma- jority of the contestants have made in catching on to the points of the pasiime.

M’COY TO FITZ. The Hoosier Kid Talks as Though He Wanted to Meet the Cornishman. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DENVER, Colo., Feb. 1—Kid McCoy has challenged Fitzsimmons, This morning he sent the following telegram to the lanky Australian: “Robert Fitzgs:mmons, New York: You promised to give me the first chance if you entered the ring again. I now demand that chance, only stipujating that the con- test take place in six months’ time. I wil fight you at either the middle-weight or heavyweight Iimit. Trust you wil make that. promise good. Arawer care Denver Post. KID M’'COY.” In speaking of the match McCoy sali: “Tl can whip Fitz sure, or, for that matter, any other man in the world. This may seem lke boasting, but since my meeting with Sharkey I am more than ever con- v.nced that I will yet be the champion of the world, ail things breaking even. It was too much training that beat me, and noth- ing else. After that thifd round my strength was exhausted, as | vitality was gone and I waé defeated. t is to regain my strength that I am_ undertaking the present trip to the coast, and ali indica- t.ons point to the fact that I will be bigger and stronger than I ever was before .n my life.”’ Corbett and Sharkey.

Superintendent of the Mennonite Or- phan Asylum Had the Small Travelers in His Charge. Sick and without means to provide for her little ones, Mrs. Amos Culp parted from them forever. The children, six in number, and ranging én age from 2 to 1l years, reached Union Station Wednesday morning from Orville, ©., where they have been confined the past two months in the Mennonite Orphan Asy- jum. They were in charge of 8S. K. Plank, Superintendent of the institution. He is taking them to East Lynne, Mo., where they will be distributed among several families. Mre. Culp is 40 years old and lives within afew miles of Orville, O. According to Mr. Plant, her pathetic separation from her entire family was unavoidable. “She had to do it,” he says, “because there were no willing hands to relleve her misery. Mrs. Culp’s husband was a car- nter and a worthy man. A year ago e contracted a cold which developed into fonsumptian. It was imposeible to arrest fhe progress of the disease, and as a last Tesort he was removed to Colorado. When Sent there he was in a dying condition and his death is only a question of a few hours, Mrs. Culp’s older daughter, Jennie, aged ears, died six months ago.”’ ‘ilson, the oldest of the children, asked how he liked the home. I'll tell you,” he said, twirling his cap in his hands, “it don’t much matter, guess, where we g0, ‘'cause ma can't eare for us no longer. Besides, we were two months in Mr. Plank’s home and liked it right well. “We didn't like to leave mamma at first and I hope we'll get a chance to see her again. “No, I don’t know just where we are bound to, but it’s some farm out this was idea OT going to a new “Well, Way. SLacy and Sarah oftem cry for mamma but Mr. Plank saye tHey must be good girls and they will have all the fun they want.”’ Mr. Plank is about 50 years old and has been superintendent of the Mennonite Or- phan Home at Orville eight years. During that period he has provided comfortable homes for no less than 600 children. APPROVE THE WORLD'S FAIR. Knights of Pythias Propose to Erect a Splendid Structure at the Great Exhibition.

Plea for a Closer Bond of Sympathy Between Rich and Poor in the Great Cities. At the banquet given Tuesday night by the Contemporary Club, at the Planter’s Hotel, where Judge Thayer presided, Bishop Potter of New York City was the guest of honor. The great and good bishop spoke eloquently on “Some Civic Ideas.” Here are a few gems from his address: - s ~ A few years ago I was in a New England village, and watching a young man about 28 years old, working at a nail machine. His whole work for the eight hours of his day’s work consisted of two motions, put- ting an» iron through a hole and taking ii out again. There he sat, doing that, and nothing else—a thing regulated by the simple monotony of a machine, in its motion—but he had to make those two motions as the machine came up and down. Do you wonder that he grew im- patient? And can you see how such a life in time tear out the very vitals of social organism if nothing is done for it? I tell you that some day these persons, yatient now, will rise in their might, and life. the architect of the city and saw the plans drawn up by them of what New York would be were it built on proper plans. It was a rebelation to me. Parks and sani- were not in the real city. The architecie had drawn the plans, but who could put them into shape. No one did it. believe if they had been taken into a hall and shown to the people of the congested districts it would have done an incalculable amount of good. The poor people are will- ing to do their part toward any improve- ment if they see the good that will result from it. We must have their co-operation if we would have a successful ending to tax on the rich te corez ever appreciated by the working people. They must have an eye of partnership in it. 7 © . ° “I had the privilege of observing when I lived in the tenement district aix weeks one #ummer a few years azo.

Bear Trainer Said While in St. Louis That His Big Pet Would Eventually Catch Him With a “Half Hook.” Frenzied with the pain of an ulcerated tooth Paulo, the big blind bear, who is a bears which appeared at the Columbia The- ater a few weeks ago, broke his bonds at an Omeha theater and attacked his mas- ter, seriously injuring him. Several em- ployes about the theater were also hurt, and the dispatches etate that Mr. Batty’s conditi is critical. Whildin St. Louis Batty expressed a fear that the big, blind bear would some day “do for him.”’ In speaking of his bears and their indl- Paulo, ioe bene be s been nd, it from seeing him work. His bEnéness is caused by cataracts on the eyes, to whic bears in captivity are very suceptible. “The poor old fellow is the best brute I ever knew, and he beg me. I love him, 00, but I also fear him.” . , Passing an apple into the blind bear's cage, and patting the big beast on the head, Mr. Batty said: “Paulo, old boy, I fear some day you will do for your good friend Batty at last.”’ “No,” he continued, “it is not that Paulo is savage, but the poor old fellow fs much troubled with his teeth, which ache almost constantly, and sometimes ulcerate. When a sudden ee of pain seizes him he be- comes enrag and strikes out with his enormous paws—a swinging blow that with the pugilists would be called a ‘half-hook. You have seen him do it on the stage. “It happens often. I am always on the lookout for that blow, but it comes with- out warning and ie so swift that it cannot be dodged. Though I try always to stay out of reach of his paws, I have had many narrow escapes. Some day that blow is liable to land on me; then I shall go down with broken ribs or with the side of my face smashed in and lacerated, so terrible is the force from a swipe from. those mighty paws. Then, as I lie helpless with- in his reach, the old fellow, maddened by pain, may strike again, or bite, or crush me in his embrace. If that happens, Batty will train no more animals. But then, you know,’’—this with a shrug—‘‘those are the chances that animal trainers take. Many go so. It is part of the business. “Why don’t I get rid of Paulo? Never. Paulo and I went into the business to- gether, and eo long as he lives we will work together. If he ever hurts me, it will not be in malice; it wll be a@n accident. Poor old fellow, I love him, and yet some day I fear may come the accident. If it does come, I had rather it were Paulo than one of the others. They are common bears. Paulo is ftom the Himalayas. He js a gentleman, and my friend.’’ Mrs. Batty also expressed herself as fear- ful that her husband would some day be killed by his bears, and has often begged him to get rid of them and turn his atten- tion to train'ng some less dangerous ani- mals. But Batty says: ‘“‘No! Should I train cats and dogs? Never! If my bears shall some day kill their best friend, so be it; but as yet am the master.’’ The people at the Columbia Theater were not at all surprised to hear of Batty’s ac- cident in Omeha, and all agreed in expect- ing sooner or later to hear of Batty being killed by his bears—blind Paulo being picked for the fellow to do the job.
