See the Nest Sunday Post-Dispatch, is ed EO Smell ee ROMANCES AND ‘MYSTERIES OF ST. LOUIS. Fivron once wrote a verv saucy and un- ‘feeling. thing about Coleridge—compared iim with an ass; think of that!—so saucy n fact that Byron repented of It before he was many years older—he was only a boy when he wrote It—and apologized to the great and gentle-spirited author. It was Jove that drew them together. But_love has done even greater things than this—many times greater than uniting in the bonds of good fellowship two poets however distin- guished. He has made two hearts beat as one in epite of time, distance and c.rcumstances and has made them the objects of envy of the entire civilized world. Such is the case of.a St. Louis girl now. Coleridze and Byron were not brought to- gether until they met by the design of an- other. This faithful girl—this fair and fa- vored Missouri damosel—is going nearly half way round the world to meet and wed the man she loves. The trip will cost her a pretty penny; but what does Cupid care for expenses? This beautiful story will be told in full in the next Sunday Post-Dispatch, and every lover and eVery maiden—to say noth.ng of the old folks—in this entire Western coun- try will desire to read it. “The wise want love, and those who love want wisdom,” declared the poet, Shelley, one day, when he wae feeling in a philo- gsophic mood. But do they? That is a ques- tion upon which sages have never agreed. But talking about sages—St. Louis has two of them. Both of them’ work-on Sunday. One of them works in the cause of reli- gion. The other in the cause of science. Both of them are known all over the United States. Yet one of them is not known to his neigh- bors of the block in which he lives, para- doxical though it may seem. As a matter of fact, his next door neigh- bor does not know that he amounts to any- thing more than a regular employe of the factory where he makes his living. Yet he has a scientific record which is, perhaps, unsurpassed in the United States at this time. Men who havé helped the progress of the nation know him well; his work-a-day neighbors never heard of him, except 4s an industrious citizen. The other man has been much to St. Louis. He has been before the public often —I will not attempt to say how many times. He hae uttered words of eloquence and wis- dom, yet the St. Louis public never ‘‘dis- covered” him, in the sense that great men are recognized and thrust forward into the Nght of fame. For this lack of discernment he is to be} taken away from us by men of keener per- ception and placed upon a pedestal where the eyes of the whole country will be turned upon him almost constantly. Paradoxical conditions; when you come to think about them, aren’t they? And yet we remember the old saying that a prophet is not without honor, save in his own vot- ing precinct. Still we wonder why some men succeed. See these two great etories in the next Sunday Post-Dispatch. ‘ But talking about wisdom, jit always re- quires and includes a large degree of re- sourcefulness. On this basis of calculation there is one man in St. Louis who certainly has the record for wisdom smashed to smithereens. He feeds, clothes, warms*and houses a family of seven—including himself—on $3 a week! Can this be possible, you ask? I will an- ewer for you, for I know. It is not only -possible—it is a fact. While you, young woman, were shivering in your perfumed budwar only two even- inge ago’ while you, young man, were la- menting the dreariness of your bachelor quarters, where you have everything from a curtain pole to a cocktail, this humble citizen, in his still more humble abode, was making merry with his family and con- gratulating himself upon the good time he was having. Strange, isfi’t it? He was a wise man who said that one half of the world does not know where the other half buys its groceries. This story of a happy poor family in zero weather will be a feature of the next Sun- day Post-Dispatch. But there is one other man, whose life has been passed amid surroundings far more advantageous, as far as physical happiness is concerned, whose state of mind will not compare for an instant with that of this poor working man with the happy family of seven. He is rich and his son has succeeded to his profession; yét he is not happy; for both he and his son are shunned by their fellow men, although neither of them is a criminal. Which would you rather be? Compare the histories of these two fam- Mies in the next Sunday Post-Dispatch. But men do not make the whole world. Lovely woman comes in for a conspicuous part and in some strange and interesting roles. But none more prominently than a fair Kentuckienne, who has not only brains and beauty, but wealth, to back up her claims to distinction. She is playing a role never before attempted by a woman, and she i making a success of it. Why? Now, don’t ask please! Because she is a woman. to be certain. Surely you are not as ignor- ant as all that! If you are—but no! You must be meting. In the next Sunday Post-Dispatch there will & reat array of good things—so great, In fect, that you may not have time to read them all in one day. These are only Suggestions of the good things in store. OU Will see the rest of them for yvour- ead and save me the trouble of detailing . HANGED, AND ONLY SIXTEEN.

HE SHOT ENGINEER STRAIN. ARRESTED IN ST. LOUIS pDIs- GUISED AS A FARMER Boy. | He Will Be Returned to Sedalia, Where There Is Indignation Over the Manner of Strain’s Death. Lucius E. Hindman, a_ beardless boy, who says- he is a grandson of the famous Gen. Hindman of the Confederate army, is the coolest person who ever passed a night in a cell in the holdover on so gse- rious a charge as murder. The youth’s statement that he is a grand- son of Gen. Thomas C. Hindman is untrue, Gen. Hindman left four children, only one of whom is\married, and that one has no child. This contradiction of the prisoner's statement is made on the authority of a man who knows the Hindman family a8 well as he knows his own. | THEPOISONERS’ NAMES KNOWN Facts Will All Ceme Out at the Inquest. ARRESTS WILL BE MADE. TWO PERSONS, AND POSSIBLY THREE, ARE IMPLICATED. Persons of Social Prominence Will Be Compelled to Give Testimony in the Case Before the Coroner’s Jury. NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—District Attorney Gardiner says that the names of the per- sons who sent poison through the mail and caused the death of Henry C. Barnet and Mrs. Kate J. Adams last Decembcr are known to him. Two persons are cer- tainly directly implicated and possibly three. Persons of eocial prominence, many of them as yet not mentioned in connection with the case, will be compelled to testify re te 7g ‘ah ’ $. eT LUCIUS E. HINDMAN. Hindman is a professional gambler, known as the ‘‘Honey Grove Kid,’ and though he is only 22 years old he has a reputation that covers several] States. e was arrested when he stepped from a Missouri Pacific train at Union Station Thursday night by Detectives Howard and | Gallagher for the murder, in Sedalia, Mo., | of Oscar Strain, an ver & R‘o Grande Railroad. Hindman was born in Honey Grove, Tex., and lived there until three years ago, when he left the parental roof and embarked upon a career as a professional gambler. He is noted as one of the coolest gamblers who ever played cards or shook dice. His demeanor was always the same, whether he won or lost, and there was no game of chance at which he would not try his luck. He played a game ais! and without the aid of an accomplice, if he could win. But he did not gamble for his health, and it is said of him that he would stop at nothing to separate a man from his money. He kilied Oscar Strain because the en- gineer wanted his money back after he had been robbed in a game of matching dollars, in which Strain had no chance to win. The “Honey Grove Kid’ and a bar- tender in a saloon were playing with Strain. The ‘odd man’’ was the loser. Hindman and the bartender could place their money with a certainty and Strain invariably lost. When he demanded his money back, and stood ready to enforce his demands with his fists the youthful gambler drew his revolver and fired, in- flicting a mortal wound. Joseph E. Turner, a policeman from Se- dalia. reached St. Louis Friday morning and wiil return with his prisoner Friday night. Mr. Turner says the feeling is in- tense against Hindman in Sedalia. When Hindman was seen in the holdover he wore a coat and vest made of brown canvas. His trousers were of blue jeans. On his head was a peaked cap. He wore @ blue shirt and no collar. The clothing and cap were those affected by a back woods- man, and were strangely out of keeping with the thin. neat-fitting and nicely pol- ished shoes that covered his small and shapely feet. The “Honey Grove Kid" (ts considerably below the medium in height. He weighs about 135 pounds/and is compactly built. His hands, in striking contrast with his feet, are large and powerful looking. His face -s innocent of anv beard and he has the com- slexion of a woman. He appears in perfect Soaith. His eyes are large and blue, and as cold as an iceberg. His halir is long, thick and blonde and was in a tangled mass because of the cap he. wore. Ae he walked out of his cell to talk to a reporter Friday morning he was as cool as though he were a tting in a penny ante poker game where the limit was 10 cents. While talking he stood with his hands behind him and spoke in a voice that was absolutely aevold of fear or feeling. “Now. T didn’t want to kill Strain,” he said. “but I just had to do it. You see, this je the way the whole thing came up, I never saw Strain in my life until that night. I was calling on a girl and Strain came in. He had money and displayed it, I do not know just how it came about, but we got to matching dollars. I was a little the winner, but not much, when Ed Bauer, a bartend’r in the Benate saloon, came in. I knew Bauer and we let him in, “Yes, I know it. Was pretty easy to ‘skin’ aA man on the matching game when three are playing and the odd man is stuck. But this g@game was on the square and Strain lost Ididn't win much myself. Bauer won most of the money, but Strain was drinks ing and he picked on me. “We went to the Huckins House. where I boarded. When we got in the office 4 engineer came toward me and demand his meney. He was a big fellow, weighing more than 200 pounds. He didn’t have engineer on the Den-. any) eral’ eay§. Among the witnesses will be Roland Molineaux and his wife, who, as Blanche Cheeseborough, was a friend of Barnet and Felix J. Gallagher, a former employe of the Knickerbocker Athletic Club. Arrests will immediately follow the holding of the in- uest, even if they do not take place ear- lier, Col. Gardiner says. No arrests will be made, however, unti] there is sufficient evi- dence with which to satisfy the authorities that the persons arrested can be held under the law. Connected with the crime of Eoranns is a scandal of a nature unprintable in a re- spectable newspaper. It is known to in- volve several persons of hitherto good standing in this city. Last night David Gallagher, a brother of Felix J. Gallagher, whose name has been connected with the case, attacked Harry 38. Cornish. to whom the poison which caused Mrs. Adams’ death was sent. The attack was the result of a derogatory remark made by Cornish in connection with Felix, and in the fight that followed Cornish was severely beaten in presence of the members of the Knickerbocker Club. Coroner Hart is busy with the prelim- inaries for the inquest. He had a long con- sultation with District Attorney Gardiner to-day and left with him a b’g bunch of subpena blanks to be filled out. Any one having the_ gelightest possible connection with the Adams-Barnet murders—for they are classed together now—will probably be summoned to appear at the inquest, The Coroner's office has been deluged with re- quests from persons anxious to sit on the jury. Col. Gardiner is expected to make ap- lication for an exhumation of Barnet’s ody to-morrow.

He testified in an earnest, convincing manner, making his statements without many ques- tions being asked. The members of the committee listened with the closest atten- tign to what he said. REV. FR. POWER’S TESTIMONY. Remonstrance Against a Saloon Un- heeded Because of Influence. ‘Rev.

Do you remember the opening of & saloon on the gest side of Jefferson avenue, opposite your ? ! r . How long age was it opened? A. The saloon known as “The 303'’ was opened last spring. Q. Was there an attempt to prevent the guatce of the license? A. Yes, ‘str. Q. State to the committee what you know aDout the reMonstrance made against it. A. Well, to be accurate, | must state that a saloon—not *‘The ’ but a saloon—was opened there, or an at- tempt was Made to open one there, about three months prior to the time of the openjng of ‘‘The We received po information about the Intention to open a saloon until | passed there one day and saw carpenters at work inside. I went in. They Jme the place was to be a saloon. 1 asked what’ they were putting on the walls. They said **stalis.”’ 1 inquired, ‘‘Winerooms’’’ and they said yes. I then went about among the property owners of the block, all of whom I know, and we signed a remonstrance againgt the issuance of gp License for the saloon. There are 30 prop- ert? owners in the block, which is city Block 120. Fa 30 or 31 signatures out of this num- ! fe theh called upon Excise Commissionet Higgins and presented th» petition against the suloon witb a strong oru! remonstrance. We told him there was no decessity for the saloon. It could serve no good purpose. They proposed hav- wWinercoms. Women are compelled to pass there ir going along Jefferson avenue to Wash- ington avenue and northward. There was 4 6a- loon on Olive street around the corner, another ust south of Olive street and two on the corper low, on Olive street. Mr. Higgins said: ‘‘Well. here is a_ petition for the license.’’ He showed me the petition. 1 found names on it that astonished me. J] knew every property owner in the block. I went to one whose name was on the list, the proprietress of a boarding house who has a son 20 years old.’ She sald she had not signed tbe petition. IT then fo nd that ie: ron, who was a minor and ; aid taxes only’ on a bicycle, bad signed the petition. 1 found that sly work had been going on in securing the petition, and in the face of our remonstrance and that fact, the license was not issued to that sa- is- when we heard of the second license— for ‘The 303,"’ about to be tasued, we ealled on the Excise Commissioner and called up the old remonstrance. As I was coming out I met Hugh Pattison going in with Mr. Krels. I did not expect to see him there. 1 had a few moments’ conversation with them. I may say if there is such a thing as a respectable saloon, Mr. Krebs has conducted one. I was told soon after this call that it was —_-- ly useless to tight the issuance of that license; that it was a loss of time; that the license had al- ready been issued. Did you examine Krebs’ petition? A. I glunced over it. IL saw none of the names of the property owners who had signed the former re- monstrance, I spoke to some of the remonstrators. They said they had not signed the Krebs petition. They said it was no use to resist; that there was & power behind the application for that license which defeated law, defeated sentiment, and which could not be successfully resisted. Y. Why could it not be resisted? A. There was a combine behind it--a conspiracy, [ call jit—which is known as the Valley Liquor Co. Q. Did you test the legality of the Issuance of the license in the courts? A, It Was Bo use. Q. Do you know who owns the saloon? A. It ‘s my understanding that the Valley Liqnor Co. owns it. Hugh Pattison is there almost constantly. The object of establishing the salgon was said to be to sell Valley Liquor Co.’s goods, By Mr. Burkhead: Q.

Two Men Killed ana Five Others Miss- ing in the Snows and Slides -in Other Portions of Colorado. eae DENVER, Colo., Feb. 3.—Five bodies have been recovered, five herders are miss- ing and twenty others are known to be under an avalanche as the result of the recent heavy snows in Colorado. The most frightful accident reported is the snow- slide which occurred yesterday in the canyon of the Grand River, sweeping down 33 laborers and all but destroying a work- train. Thirteen of. these men have been dug from the snow and five were either dead at the time of removal or have since died. The other 20 men are still under the slide, including the entire crew of the work- train. The known dead are: JOHN M’MAHON, roadmaster., JOHN MULSIHILL, laborer. JOHN DEMPSEY. ~ Those known to have met death at other Points are: WILLIAM MANNING, A JOHN ENRICKSON, oe y of those rescued from the Grand avalanche were seriously if not fatal- ed. They were taken to Glenwood 3 nine miles ‘from the scene of the nt}. for treatment. lal trains were sent to the spot as Boon as intelligence reached headquarters f the road. Over 100 stalwart men, urged o-the highest exercise of strength, are 1 using every possible attempt to rescue heir fellow-beings imprisoned in the snow. Moans and apptals for aid can be heard ‘through the mass which came down from the steep mountain side. The slide was about 300 feet in width, but thousands of tons of ice and snow blocked the railway, and made it impossible for tiains to pass until a road could be shoveled through the obstruction. The engine, caboose and flanger were car- jred down before the slice, and all the shovelers, who were scattered along the track at work, were swept before the mighty weight. Trees, rocks and large blocks of ice, which had been formed on the side of the mountain during the winter, added to the weight of the avalanche. The men were mostly railroad laborers who had been assembled from different divisions of the Denver & Rio Grande to cope with the obstruction in the canyon. Cliffs rise at the side of the railway track 10 or 20 feet, while the side of the mountain at the point where the accident occurred rises 2000 feet, almost perpendicularly. It has long been considered the most dangerous point along the railway. The usual season for snow slides in Colo- rado is in April or May, when the snow ie melting, but the unprecedented amount of snow which has fallen this winter caused the movement to begin two months earlier “than under ordinary circumstances. * George Ross of Aspen, proprietor of nu- merous srotenting teams, Wednesday Started a train of sixteen horses loaded ;with food for the relef of the suffering inhabitants ef Independence, a smal! moun- tain village which has been cut off from copimunication with the world for several! days. Nine miles out the train camped for the right. About midnight an ava- lanche descended the mountain, but split upon the huge bowlder behind which tney found shelter. Thousands of tons of snow, ice, bowlders and debris plunged past them into the gorge below. Trail and camp site were buried several feet deep. No trace of the train could be seen. Mr. Rhoda of the Colorado Telephone Com- pany, who followed. with another expedi- tion, telephoned to Aspen for help. Scores of shovelers are cutting a passage from Colorado Sprisgs along the traii, while others are out digging in search of the relief train of supplies, which seems to have been swept down tie gorge. The pop- ulation of Independence has been ordered to Aspen, that women and children may sustain iife %m the supplies there untii the deep snow disappears. The snow ‘is 6till falling and high winds prevail. William Manning's cabin, near the foot of Mount Elbert, a few miles from Lead- ville, was yesterday swept away by a snowslide and Manning kilied. The village of Twin Lakes had a nurrow escape. Jonn Enrickson of Leadville went out ‘unting Wednesday and per.shed in the snow. In Eastern Colorado and Wyoming the wind is sweeping over the plains with rer- rific force, and catile and sheep are piling up in the drifts. Cattlemen are in desparr, Five men, sent out from Aspen, ure miss- ing, and are believed to have ,erished. Many mounta.n towns are cut off from the world, the only means of communica- tion being men on snowshoes. Food and fuel supplies are becoming alarmingly short. Colorado railways are losing $25,000 a day. Not jess than 1000 men have been shoveling snow for several days. Over 500 miles of road in the mountains have been at times shut off from communication with the main lines. Stormbound passengers are fed and cared for by the railway companies. On the mountains thousands of cattle are freezing and starving to death and nothing can be done to save them. In Eastern Colorado hay is being hauled long distances over the prairies to feed cattle and it ts mes to avoid heavy losses of live stock if the storm and cold abate within a day or two. However, there will be some losses of stock that it not closely herded. The weather bureau predicts continued coil weather and another snowfall to-night. The minimum temperature at Denver dur- ing the past 24 hours was 12 degrees below WHISKY IS GOING UP. Combine in Kentucky Has the Effect of Raising Prices. LOUISVILLE. Ky.

CLARK AV. BRIDGE PROTEST. HIS HONOR ASKED WHAT CAUSES HIS DELAY. The Questioners Hint That Railroad “Influence” Has Been Used, and Ziegenhein Dodges the In- terrogations, A committe of determined men from the Clark Avenue Improvement Association is responsible for a particularly bad,hour Mayor Ziegenhein passed Friday morning. They called at the City Hall to learn what was going to be done about the bridge they want constructed over the sheds of Union Station, connecting Clark avenue from Eighteenth to Twentieth street. The visitors were insistent and in their indignation that the Mayor should strive for another delay, directly charged that undue influences were at work. Mr. Zie- genhein did not see fit to answer. The property-owners in the committee were J. H. Daues, President of the Associa- tion; Alfred H. Jones, Secretary; O. L. E. Peterson, Treasurer; George Pironi, Pat- rick Walsh, A. Wachman, F’. W. Reinhard, Jacob Link, Henry Fuller, A. L. Lange, George Heffner, John A, Sloan, A. 8. Camp- bell, Charles Boudinet, M. Muckly, J. H. Thornton, Don Reavis, Henry Grone. They were armed with resolutions, adopt- ed by the association, calling upon the Mayor to declare himself and cause to be enforced an ordinance that provides for the building of the bridge. : The Mayor was leaving the City Hall when the delegation arrived. He did not seem pleased to see the gentlemen and rather ungraciously led the way to his of- fice. President Daues read the petition and asked the Mayor’s answer, gentiemen, you see we need so said Mr. Ziegenhein. ‘‘We need a City ‘Hospital, a new Poorhouse, a new bridge at Secord street and ——” ‘Hold on, Mr. Mayor,” interposed Daues, “talk to us about the Clark avenue bridge. That’s what we'te here for.’ “Well, I thought you wanted detail in- formation. St. Louis has the finest City Hall and will have great streets.” “The bridge, the bridge over Clark ave- nue,’’ again put in Daues. “Talk to us about that. You know what we wani and you can’t jolly us.’”’ “Gentlemen, we must have money for these grand improvements.”’ * Honor had taken a fresh start and his tone was that of the political speaker, ‘‘and un- less we can raise $300,000—it will cost all of that—the two plans we have are not feasible. It is true the Terminal Railroad Association stands bonded to pay $160,000 but we have not the other money to de- vote to a bridge. I promised to begin on the new City Hospital in the spring.’’ “You don’t want to raise the money,’’ sald Daues, “‘you don’t want the railroad company to pay that $150,000. It is not in- tended that they shall.”’ “You don’t mean that.” replied His Honor, “‘you can’t tell me you mean that, for all these gentlemen know that just as soon as we get the money I shall order the bridge buiit.’’ “Why don’t you enforce the ordinance?’ “T don’t know that it is a good one. You gentlemen go over the City Counselor 3 “There, they all said that,’’ said a dis- gusted voice in the crowd. “They all said you would shift it off to Schnurmacher.,”’ “There is no use going there,’ said Dauls, ‘everything is fixed; he would wave us off and there the matter will end.’’ “Well, you come back at 2 o’clock and l’'ll go with you to consult Mr. Schnur- macher about the ordinance and learn from him just the position of the city.” There was some dissent to this, but one committeeman’s philosophy prevailed: He said: “It’s all we can get; we might as well go.’’ The committee wanted the Mayor to start the bridge and appropriate money for it as the revenues were collected. He would not do this, he said, until he had a new City Hospital. The committee then left to return at 2 o'clock. WAS COMPLETELY EXONERATED Persistent Women, Who Were Mis- taken, Caused a Boy’s Dis- grace for a Time. Fred Jones, a 19-year-old boy, honest of face, was on trial in the Court of Criminal Correction Friday morning for the larceny of a pocket handkerchief, valued at 5 cents. So evident was the boy’s innocence that Judge Clark. discharged him. ‘The de- fendant’s actions throughout were consisi- ent,’’ the Judge said. ‘There is no evi- dence of guilt and his testimony on the stand is remarkably straightforward.” Miss Maude Vandervoort and her mother of 4265 St. Ferdinand avenue were the prosecuting witnesses. According to their story, they were walk- ing along Broadway on January 28 when the lad brushed against them. In a few minutes the young women dis- covered the loss of a handkerchief. Sus- pecting the boy, accused him of the theft. He denied it indignantly, but they caused his arrest. When searched at the Police Station no handkerchief was found on him. The women felt sure, neverthelegs, that the defendant was guilty. “I’ve been in the city now two years,”’ said Jones on the etand, ‘‘working in the business office of a newspaper, and I never got into trouble. I've been living at 1429 salary to my people, “I brushed against these ladies by accli- dent. I was amazed when they accused me of the theft. They followed me for two blocks and admit they never saw me drop anything and the handkerchief wasn't found on me when the police searched me. I had no reason to eteal; indeed, I offered to ote them a new handkerchief if they thought I did it.” The boy's cae, was clear, and on the strength of his statement, although he could not afford to hire a lawyer, he won his case. AFTER STETSON'S MILLIONS. Mrs. Shirley of Kansas City Claims to Be the Daughter of Kate Stokes. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 3.—Mrs. Ka- therine Shirley of this city, who has fre- quently made ciaim to the $2,000,000 estate of John Stetson, in Boston, wiil soon send an attorney to that city to fight for her ai- leged rights. Mrs. Shirley's claim to the estate is that she is the daughter of Kate Stokes, the celebrated actress who was married to John Stetson and to whom he willed all his property at his death in 1896. Mr. Stetson was one of the largest prop- erty owners in Boston. He died after a bref iliness, his wife following within 10 days and leaving no will. Stetson’s father contested the will, claiming undue infiu- ence, but the courts upheld the document. Adah Richmond, an actress, then sued for an interest, ee she was Stetson’s common law wife, but she also was de- feated. The contest now is between the mother and daughter of Kate Stokes.

GREENE SAYS FILIPINOS CANNOT GOVERN THEMSELVES. OUR RULE THEIR ONLY HOPE, Aguinaldo, He Declares, Is Distrusted in His Own Country.and Is Not Fit for President. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—The conclusion of Maj.-Gen. F. Y. Greene, author and sol- dier, appointed for the purpose of investi- gating. conditions in» the Philippines and just made public, is this: “Upon one point all inhabitants of the islands are agreed, “except possibly Aguinaldo and his immediate adherents, and that is no native government can main- tain itself without the active support and protection of a strong foreign government. This being admitted, it Is difficult to see how any foreign government can give this protection without taking such an active part in the management of affairs as is practically equivalent to governing in its own name and for its own account.”’ The report was made to Maj.-Gen,. Wes- ley Merritt and by him referred, with in- dorsement, to the American Peace Commis- sioners during treaty negotiations in Paris. It is a part of the correspondence and of- ficial reports submitted to the Senate by the President in connection with the treaty. Continuing, Maj.-Gen. Greene says: “If the United States evacuate these isl- ands, anarchy and civil war will immedi- ately ensue and lead to fore'gn intervention. The insurgents were furnished arms and the moral support of the navy prior to our arrival, and we cannot ignore obligations, either to the Insurgents or to foreign na- tions which our own acts have imposed on us. Spanish power is dead beyond poss-bili- tv of resurrection. Spain would be unable 2 govern these islands if we surrendered them. The natives are all Roman Catholice and devoted to the church, but have bitter hat- | red for monastic orders, Dominican, Fran- ciscan and others. They insist that these be sent out of the country or they will murder them. These friars own the greater part of the land and have grown rich by oppres- sing the native husbandmaen. “There are in Manila itself nearly 200,000 native Filipinos, among whom are large numbers with more or less Spanish and Chinese blood, who are men of character, education, ability and wealta. They hate the Spanish, are unfriendly toward other nations, and look only to America for as- sistance. They are not altogether in sym- pathy with Aguinaldo, fearing the entry of is army into Manila almost as much as the Spaniards fear it. They say Aguinaldo is not fitted elther by ability or experience to be the head of a native government, and doubt if he would be elected President in an honest election. “It is very difficult to give exact figures for the numbers of insurgent troops. In his message to foreign governments of Aug. 6, asking for recognition of belligerency and independence, Aguinaldo claims to have a force of 30,000 men organized into a regular army This includ the force in the Provinces of Luzon, outside of Ma- nila. What was in evidence around Manila varied from 10,000 to 15,000. They were com- posed of yong men and boys, some as young as 15 years of age, recruited in the rural districts, er no property and nothing to love tn a civ!) war. They have received no pay, and although Aguinaldo speaks in his proclamation of his intention and ability to maintain order wherever his forces penetrate, yet the feeling is prac- tically universal among the rank a file that they are to compensated for their time, services and hardships by looting Manila. From August, 1896, to April, 1897, they fought 25,00 of the best regular troops gent out from Spain, inflicting on them «a loss of over 180 officers and men killed and wounded. Nevertheless, from daily con- tact with them for six weeks I am very confident that no such results could have been obtained against an American army, which would have driven them back to the hille and reduced them to a petty guerriita warfare. If they attack the American army this will certainly be the result. BOTH MEN ARE DEAD. Shooting Affray in a Texas Saloon Proves Fatal to Two. SAN ANTONIO, Tex...

FAT BERTHS FOR RELATIVES. anne KINSMEN OF 38 LEGISLATORS ON THE PAY ROLLS. LS AL Sons, Daughters, Brothers, Cousins and Nephews of Members Given Places Where Labor Is Light and the Salary Good. Special to the Post-Dispatch, JPFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 3.—Nepot- ism is rampant in both branches of the General Assembly. There is little choice between the House and Senate. In the Sen. ate. relatives of Senators hold, positions. In the House, so far as can be ascertained by a careful scrutiny of.the. lists of employes and personal inquiry, 27 Representatives have found berths for relatives, and some of them have secured the appointment of two or three relatives. This condition is being talked about a great deal in both branches of the Assem- bly and the members are hearing from their constituents on the subject. In a few cases it is possible, because of a difference in name. nepotism may go unde- tected through the entire session, but where the names are the same it is not difficult to unearth it. The list of Senators who have relatives on the force and the names and positions of the relatives is as follows: Senator Robert Drum, Bollinger County— Robert Drum, Jr., an enrolling clerk. Senator Ben Anderson, Boone County— Mack Anderson, clerk of the Committee on Fire, Marine and Tornado Insurance, of Which his father is chairman, Senator Odus G. Young of Kansas City— CC. A. Young, a brother, whotis clerk of the Committee on Judiciary, of which Sena- tor Young is chairman. . Senator Haynes of Buchanan County—A., I’. Haynes, a son, who is his father’s re- Vision clerk.

Rollins, who is his brother's re- Vision clerk. W. B. Anderson, a second cousin of Sena- tor Ben Anderson, is Senator Dowell’s re- visian clerk. He lives in Senator Dowell’s district, however, and Senator Anderson was not responsible for his appointment. In the House not near so large a pro- portion of the members have secured places for their relatives. ; Clarke (Dem., Audrain), chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, appointed his son the clerk of his committee.” The young man has not been in Jefferson City since he was appointed, although he has been on the payroll all the time, and his warrants are waiting for him in the office of the Committee qn Accounts. “Mr. Clark explains his son’6 absence by saying his wife has been ill and the gson’s presence Was necessary at home.

His is an executivd position and he has the lirection of many employes. He has entire charge of the House chamber, committee rooms aga choakrooms. He has taken ex- ception fo the statement that the water carriers of the House have not much to do. “They are worked hard,” he said. “They have tO carry as many as 10 buckets of water a day tw fill the coolers, to say noth.- ne of the ice.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 3.—Repre- sentative Aydelott (Rep.) of Warren County by a clever bit of strategy yesterday after-’ noon accomplished the chief purpose for Which he has been coming to the Legisla- fure so many years. His hobby has been opposition to State Normal Schools and he has tried in every way to injure or abolish them. He introduced bill after ‘bill to this end in previous sessions, but without suc- cess. He almost shed tears whenever a bill appropriating money for. a normal school passed the House. he chance of his life came yesterday and he seized it. The bill to give the Superinten- $2000 a year was up for engrossment. House wrangled over it all afternoon, and a dozen amendments were offered and de- feated. Finally when the House was ther- oughly weary and ready to do anything to get done with the matter, Avdelott offered an amendment the effect of which is to take.away from the State Normal Schools the right to grant State certificates to teachers, and to give that exclusive right to the State Superintendent. Not more than one-third of the members understood it, but they voted for it with a whoop and the bill went to ingrossment so amended The only way the amendment can be defeated now is by the defeat of the entire bill. : Aydelott is a school teacher and for some reason he has always had a grudge against State normal schools. In this respect he is not alone. but it is doubtful whether a majority of the members are willing to go with him to the extreme of abolishing them. Avydelott's amendment would injure State normal schools if the bill were enacted in lis present shape because most of the students who attend them do so solely to get State certificates. ONE DAY FOR PRIMARIES. Bill Providing That Both Parties Vote at the Same Time. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 3.—Senator Drabelle of St. Louis introduced his pri- mary election bill this morning. It pro- vides for the holding of primary elections of both parties on the same day, and re- quires all persons who intend to vote at a primary to enroll themselves as being affiliated with one or the other party be- fore the primary. It also places all pri- mary elections under the control of the Election Board. Senator Wilson’s joint and concurrent resolutions providing for a constitutional amendment making it optional with the judge to call a grand jury and providing that in felony cases prosecut:ons may be instituted on information and without in- dictments, came up for passage this morn- ing. They were passed unanimously, 25 Senators being present. It is thought the House will pass the resolutions. The Committee on Judiciary reported the three bills favored by the ‘St. Louis Real Estate Exchange favorably. They provide that public sales of real estate by order of court may ‘be held on the floor of the Real Estate, Exchange.

This Was the Reason for Rejection of the St. Louisan. Speciai to the Post-Dispaten. F JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 3.—The truth about the refusal] of the Senate to contirm the appointment of Dr. John D. Vincil as a member of the Board of Curat- ors of the State University is that the Sen- ate considered that he had 60 many other and varied interests that he could not give the proper attention to the business affairs of the university. The legal quibble was raised that he had a relative on the faculty, but Dr. Vincil’s denial of the truth of this will not affect the Senate's action. The Visiting Committee, composed of Senator Drum and Representatives Bohart and Pettijohn, were not satisfied with the business condition of the university, and Senator Drum was in favor of rejecting all the appointments to curatorships, that is, O. D. Jones of Edina, Campbell Wells of Platte and Noah Given of Case. He thougnt that the condition of the university showed great laxity in business methods. The Sen- ate did not go to such extreme measures and confirmed ali curators but Dr. Vincil. —---@ “WE ASK FOR NOTHING.” An Ex-Confederate’s Protest Against Howell’s Resolution. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 3.—When the House convened this morning, Jones of Howell, Republican, presented a reso- lution requesting Congress to care for Con- federate graves and cemeteries. Kneisley of Boone, who commanded a Confederate battery, thanked Mr. Jones, but opposed the resolution. “We fought for constu- tional liberty and States’ rights.’’ said he, ‘and we were right. We ask for nothing. We don’t want pensions and we can care for our own dead.’ The resolution was adopted. Try ‘Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup for whooping-cough and croup. It never fails.

LEADERS AT JEFFERSON CITY. eee ee CONFERENCE LAST NIGHT, AND ANOTHER THIS EVENING. - The Insurgents Have Gained Strength by Favoring the Bill to Reduce the Salary of St. Louis’ Ex- cise Commissioner. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo:, Feb. 3:—The ‘true story of the Filipino movement in the House, .as printed in the Post-Dispatch yesterday, found sudden confirmation last night in the meeting ‘of anti-administration politicians in Jeffersén City. The latest development is the conference of the Filipino leaders to be held to-nigat. David Ball of Pike County, candidate for Governor, will attend that conference. Iex-Governor Stone, if he does not actually attend, will be near. In this conference and’the one last night lies the confirmation of the Post-Dispatch’s Story of yesterday. Stone arrived yesterday afternoon and is here to-day. Since he came he has been in almost constant conference with the Fili- pinos. Developments have come rapidly. “he Filipinos allowed it to become known that they would vote for the Tubbs bill re- ducing the income of the Excise Commissioner of St. Louis from $26,000 to a fixed salary of $3,500, This was a clever ruse to force State Auditor James M. Sei- bert to show his hand. Seibert announcéd long ago that he was not a candidate for election to any office, but it has been gen- erally understood that if A. M. Dockery is elected Governor, Seibert will be the Excise Commissioner, Seibert wants this appoint- ty nt only if the income is not reduced. for purposes of his own, Seibert went into a combination with the Governor to or- ganize the House, This combination de- feated the Filipinos. The Filipinos knew that by combining with the Republicans they could pass the Tubbs bill, and it is not likely that Stephens would veto it, in view of the revelation concerning the office brought out by the Lexow Committee. As was anticipated by the Filipinos, Mr. Seibert began to see some good in the in- surgents. gall of Pike got wind of what was going on. When Ball was defeated in 18% Champ Clark made a speech against the rotation- in-State-offices scheme, which furnished a keynote to the Filipinos. Champ. is with Stone and Cook and Conkling in this Fili- pino Movement. Under these circumstances Ball would be the natural Filipino candidate for Governor, but there are many of them in the House, and many of ther allies in the Senate who want, Dockery. All the West and Northwest Members and Senators are Jaockery men. This includes Boydston vf Platte, Senator Francis Wilson of Platte. Senator Morton of Rav. O. G. Young of Jackson and others. This makes Ball anxi- ous. The policy of the Filipinos has been to fight Gov. Stephens rather than to lay plans for the next campaign. If a large number of them, by preference or circum- stance, should be forced into a combinat.on With Seibert and Deoekery, Ball’s chance would go glimmering. ’ Whether the conference to-night results in any agreement upon a plan or not, the developments of the past 24 hours have in- formed the Filipinos just where Mr. Seibert stands and what they. will have: to, do to deal with him. They have also increased Mr. Seivert’s respeet sfor the Filipinos. , Whatever is the result of this cofference and succeeding ones the ultimate object of the factions that are represented is to de- feat the plan of the Governor: which is said to be to push Crow for Governor until he nominates him or sees that he cannot be nominated, and then to ewitch him to the eandidacy for Attorney General and to throw his strength ta Dockery, so that aft- erward he may lay claim that he nominated Dockery. . ’ There will be no fital agreement’ upon a aandidate at this time. Stone will prevent that. It is too early to make inviolable deals. But when the candidate is selected he will have the support of all the anti- Stephens force. WAITING FOR HITCHCOCK. Change in the Interior Department Will Soon Take Place. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—The change in the head of the Interior Department is ex- pected to occur the middle of this month, though no definite word has been received from Ambaesador Hitchcock of St. Louis, the newly appointed secretary. The latter was expected to sail from St. Petersburg about New Year’s day, but was unable to arrange his affairs there by that time and then planned to make his departure on Jan. 28. If he got away at that time he will reach here in season to relieve Secre- tary Bliss by the 15th or earlier. Secretary Bliss is spending this week in New York and for some weeks has consistently avoid- ed taking up any new questions of policy pending his suceessor’s arrival. He is anxious to be relieved at the earliest prac- ticable moment. ~ NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT, Regularity is a matter of importance in every woman’s life. Much pain is, however, endured in the belief that it is necessary and not alarming, when in truth it is all wrong and indicates derangement that may cause serious trouble. Excessive monthly pain itself will unsettle the nerves and make women old before their time. The foundation of woman's health is a perfectly normal and regular’ per- formance of nature’s function.

POLICE LEGISLATION. What the State Legisature Can and Ought to Do for St. Louis. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The fact that the State Administration ai Jefferson City is controlléd by one political organization and our city administration in St. Louis by another should not, through the antagonisms provoked by efforts. to ob- tain partisan advantage, divert public at- tention from the essential principles in- volved in the pending legislation or in the pending investigations. While party organization is a means and not an end, the investigation and exposure by one party of the m.sgovernment of the other is the recognized, and, as experience has shown, the best practical means under popular government of correcting public abuses. ‘the original Lexow Committee in New York was a partisan committee ap- pointed for the purpose of making party Capital out of-the Parkhurst exposure of Tammany corruptions, and it did this very effectively. Whether or not the patronage of the Senate committee was divided fairiy is a small matter compared with the ulti- mate question whether or not misgovern- ment and corruption in the city adminis- tration may be proved to exist, So as to ‘home rule,’ and the protest now heard against legislative interference With local attairs, which is now urged against the pending police bill at Jefferson City, “home rule” is rightfully cherished. but it is subject to the limitation that the preservation of the public peace by the pro- tection of life and property in every part of the State is not a local or municipal matter, but a supreme prerogative of the State. It is universally conceded, there- fore, in American jurisprudence, that the exercise of this power by the State in the establishment of a metropolitan police force in cities, the support of which is made mandatory upon the cities, in no wise impairs the rights of local self-government. Under this principle our local police has since 1861, been controlled by a Metropolitan Police Board, consisting of four members appointed by the Governor, who act with the Mayor as ex-officio member. But it is now clearly established that the growth of the city and its tremendous area of some 60 square miles has made the present police force utterly inadequate. in great measure, iffe and property are now protected, both :n our business and resi. dence districts, by private watchmen, paid for by voluntary contributions of citiz. ns ven with this voluntary assumption by the citizens of the State’s prerogative. lite a , and property are now very inadequately protected in St. Louis, Under these circumstances, it necessarily follows that it-is the duty of the State to insure the preservation of the public peace by requiring the employment in Bt. Louis of an adequate police force adapted to these changed conditions. There js {n this no violation of any rightful principle of home rule. It is true that our munied- pal revenue is inadequate to public wants and that an increase of expenditure for police protection wiil, in so far, require re- trenchment in other d-recttons, unless city revenues are increascd. But the protection of life and property is the primary function of every civilized society, and is there- fore: a primary charge upon public rev- nues. The city, like the indiv.dual, must provide the necessities of life before it pro- vides the luxuries, or even the comforts, This distinction between the rightful ex- ercise of State authority and interference with the right of local seif-government is illustrated in a fecent case in Nebraska, where an act authorizing the Governor to appoint fire and police commissioners in Omaha was held i:nvaiid as invad ng the righis of the municipality. It will be seen from an examination of the opinion that the infusion of the fire department was held fatal to the bill, the court saying that “the right to maintain a fire depar'- Ment was one of the rights vested in the people of the municipality and was to be exercised by them without legislative inter- ference, except to the extent that the law making body may prescribe rules to aid the municipalities im the exercise of such rghts.’ to have enti ‘does not follow ‘The’ 3 + cation is going on. cess of educa EDERICK N.

Peter Sheetz and Elmer Sheets, who con- duct an employment agency at 919 Olive #treet, were charged with assault and bat- tery in warrants issued Thursday afternon and sworn to by James Newman of 1127 Carr street. Numerous complaints have been received at the office of the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney regarding the manner in which the Sheetz’s carry on their business. so cleverly drawn have been their contracts with persons seeking positions and deposit- ing cash guarantees that the police have not been able to bring any direct charge against them, but their operations for sumetime have been under surveillance. Newman, who is an ex-soldier, claims that [WO Weeks ago he negotiated with E)- mer Sheets for a half interest in the busi- ness, Sheetz required $75, and to this New- man agreed, depositing $80 in cash. Friends, however, to whom Newman told of the purchase, expostulated with him, and represented that the business was not of such nature as could safely be handled. They warned him to be on his guard.

This he will not do and cannot legally do until the , motion for a new trial i6 overruled, which we anticipate will be on next Monday. “Judge Spencer, at his own suggestion, continued the motion to oust Muckenfuss as receiver unti] after the sale, because to take any other course now would involve a large expense to the creditors and pos- sibly lead to endlees entanglements. he reasons advanced by Judge Spencer for his postponement of action appeared so rea- sonable that no serious objection was made to them by the attorneys for the defend- ante, and Muckenfuss, for the present at least, will stay in a position which, we claim, he obtained through misrepresenta- tions and imposition on the court which appointed him. “We anticipate a ruling on the motion for a new trial next Monday. If it is over- ruled the advertisement for the sale of the club will be immediately prepared and will be published probably not later than next Wednesday or Thursday. The publication must continue for 30 days exclusive of Sun- days, which will make the sale take place on the 13th or 14th of March, at which time the cut and dried programme of the Robi- son-Brush crowd will be put through and the club will be bought for a song. In the meantime, however, Mr. Von der Ahe will have perfected his appeal to the Supreme Court and possibly before the term of court runs out an appeal bond will be furnished, in which event the Brush-Robison crowd will have to return the property to Von der Ahe and get out of town. A strong effort will be made to furnish this bond. “Judge Spencer’s ruling took from Mr. Von der Ahe property which he bought and paid for and which was worth $160,000 at the time of the purchase and placed it in ihe hands of a corporation which paid noth- ing for it and which did not pretend to pay anything for it and which never claimed title to it adverse to Von der Ahe. The Supreme Court will be asked to set this ru:ing aside and it is quite within the range of probabiljty that the highest court in the State will do so.”’ LIVE TIMES AT ICE PALACE. ——— : ‘ ¥ é sd ad Yj a he - oe!

As usual, the Jockey Club’s handicapper has done his work carefully and thoroughly. Some of his allotments will possibly ques- tioned, and especially it may be asked why he did not avall himself of the full iati- tude afforded to him under the rules. In the Suburban the weights do not run below | ' the winner of the Class B tournament, has 9 pounds, 8% pounds being the lowest weight now allowed, and certainly it does net look as if it would have been rash to give some animals like Boney Boy, Ordung and others the lowest possible impost. -_——_ The top weights are kept at the same old | notch, and even in the Suburban 128 pounds is the highest weight allotted. It was in- -evitable taat Ben Holladay shouid get the top welght, though :t may be argued with notable reagon that this grand race horse is not at his best at a a.stance as short as the one and a quarter mile course of the spring handicaps. No other horse could with justice have been weighted above him, indeed, Algol appears to have been well looked after in the Brooklyn in only ett.ng three pounds from Ben Holladay. mn the Suburban Algol is relatively one pound better off, potting four pounds from the top weight, while Tillo, last year’s win- -_ comes in at 127 pounds, splitting the air, Mag. -. all the against has to be no more hold the col: perfectly eafe. Lieber Karl ts rated pretty high for what he has done. Jean Beraud is, of course, the highest rated of the 3-year-olds, but he does not fare badly, since Mr. Vosburgh gives him three pounds less than weight for age in the Brooklyn, and four pounds less in the Suburban, whereas Ben Holladay, who. horse as he is at his own game over for top weight in th races, carries onl two pounds below weight for age in the Brooklyn, a one pound over weight for age in the Suburban.

Foss of Haverstraw, N. Y., Wayman C. MoCreery of St. Louis and Martin Mullin of Cleveland. When it is stated that any of the above could hold ther own in what is known as the “short stop’ professional class, some idea of their speed and skill can be ob- tained. All of the contestants are men of means and are prominent in business cir- cles of their respective communities. So great is the interest manifested throughout the country at their coming meeting that several thousands dollars wiil be wageréd by tae friends of each of the players on the result of the tournament, so that outside of the title of champton some- thing like $15,040 to $20,000 w.ll depend on the result. As Foss, Mullin and McCreery practically conetitute a class by themselves and Stark, no desire to play against them, the com- mittee in charge of the coming tournament have decided to admit no other contestants, and w.th a view of making the result as decisive as possible, each man will play twice against the others. The tournament, like the Class B affair a few weeks ago, will be at the l4-inch balk line game, 400 points up. While it is a hard matter to say offhand which is the best at this style of game.

GRANDEST IN Chanacter Sketches Drawn by a Post- Dispatch Correspondent at the Capital, From a Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3—The Mikado’s representative in this country, Mr. Jutaro Komura, now drives to the State Depart ment on his official visit in the most gor- geous equipages seen in the streets of the capital in the last half century. Perched on the high box seat are two stalwart ne- groes, wearing military whiskers, a livery all blue and gold.

Chairman Hill of the House Foreign Re- lations Committee rode from the Capitol in an F street car.

Wednesday the Post-Dispatch showed by comparative figures that the clerical force of the State House of Representatives is nearly twice as large as that of the House in the last revis- ing session and is nearly six times as large as the House force in the session of 1879. Yesterday the extravagance of the Senate was exposed. The Senate’s employes number 164 for 34 Senators. The cost of maintaining these 164 employes is $594.50, three times the cost of the Senate itself. This force of einployes is double that of the revising session - Of 1889, when the increase of the force over that of previous Sessions was regarded as extravagant. In both the Senate and House many relatives of members are drawing pay as employes and it is charged that many of the clerks are doing no work. Many of the employes are wholly unnecessary. Such spoliation of the State by legislators for their own bene- fit is astounding and outrageous. Can the Democratic party bear the burden of a plundering legislature? >a re It Is Needed in St. Louis.—What is needed in Missouri, and a g00d many other States, is the adoption of business policies to replace political methods, says a Republican journal. In the City of St. Louis the adoption of a business policy is es- pecially urgent. The present system of continuous plunder has grown very wearisome to those at whose expense it is carried on. KIPLING’S TRUTHFUL POETRY. Looking over Britain's experience in colonization, Rudyard Kipling writes in McClure’s: Briton Take up the White Man’s burden— Send forth the best ye breed— Go, bind your sons to exile To serve your captives’ need; To wail, in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild— Your new-caught sullen peoples, Half devil and half child. Take up the White Man’s burden— The savage wars of peace— Fill full the mouth of Famine, And bid the sickness cease; And when your goal is nearest (The end for others sought) Watch sloth and heathen folly Bring all your hope to naught. “lest we forget” the possibilities of expansion, it would be Well to keep this very truthful poetry of Mr. Kipling’s for ready reference. If the payer of taxes on his home were to pay only what he pleases, as seems to be the practice of some corporations, what would happen to the treasury? eo ANOTHER FENDER. VICTIM. Had the street car which struck and fatally injured James Tow Wednesday night been equipped with an efficient fender, it is more than probable that he would have escaped with slight injuries. It is of little or no use that a fender prevents a person from getting under the wheels of the car, if the fender itself is so defective that it allows the victim to be killed in another manner. A blow in a vital part, struck by the heavy drawbar of other tron work in front of a car g0ing at full speed, is likely to prove as fatal as the crushing power of the car wheels No street car fender can be called efficient that does not Guard persons from being struck by the drawbar, headlight @nd other iron work in front of the car. A properly con- structed fender would furnish protection from the car itself as well as from its wheels. When will the street car companies awake to their responsi- Dilities in th.s matter? How long is the city government going to sanction, by inaction, the slaughter of citizens by defective atreet car fenders? "= —_— ——— Wool prices have advanced in free trade in high tariff Boston.

Not long ago « Boston editor was sent to jail for Making com- ments on a case in progress of trial, in which a locomotive engineer was charged with criminal negligence. More recent- ly the ed@itor.of the Boston Herald was fined heavily for print- ing the head, “Guilt Is Evident,” over the account of a case in which the defendants were charged with swindling the . city on @ contract for public work. Moreover, a new trial was ie ~ ¥ QUIS POST-DISPATCH, | ; ih Se Jas OP oe oie eae tae 5 aie samen — GREE SBS IE OR Nl NE EAE EM BE ai aR ordered, the judge holding that the jury might have been influenced by this assumption of guilt. | , publication was clearly wrong. Its possible influence upon the jury cannot be ignored. But are contempt proceed- ings the best method of reaching such offences? Newspapers have the unquestioned right to publish facts of public in- terest. But these facts may be presented in such wise as to produce an effect not sanctioned by the law. Have the courts unlimited power of censorship over the style of publication. If so, it will be hard to draw the line. Once entered upon such & course will rot mere momentum urge the judges to the ex- treme limit—even to the complete suppression of the very in- formation the people have the best right to demand? What is the use of criminal law if every judge can, by contempt pro- ceedings, act as accuser, witness and executioner? > wr eS A Wonderful Hammer and the Men Behind It —The pnev- matic hammer is one of the marvels of modern industry. It can strike 7500 blows per minute and in calking ships, chip- ping metal, cutting and carving stone, etc., does the work of from two to ten men. But back of this tool there are needed an engineer, a fireman, a machinist, several skilled hammer and hose makers, thé coal miner, a machinist to keep the tool in order, and other workers. Is it not’ possible that, while this hammer does the work of from two to ten men, its inven- tion has made work for a score in allied callings? = = = i i ARRAIGNING GEN® MILES. The McKinley organs agree that the conduct of Gen. Miles in continuing to agitate the beef scandal is most reprehensible, that he ought to be humiliated and that the President is thinking of removing him from the command of the army. Let us have a clear understanding of the misconduct. of which Gen. Miles hag been guilty. What ig the reprehensible thing he has done? 7 Was it reprehensible to discover that the beef issued to the soldiers was nauseating and poisonous? e. Having discovered that the army beef was nauseating and poisonous—that the rations issued to the defenders of the country endangered health and life—was it reprehensible tc investigate the matter, to testify to the facts and to deman& that the rascals guilty of this murderous job be exposed and punished ? Does President McKinley want to punish Gen. Miles for not shutting his eyes to contract jobs and not suppressing the facts about the cheating of the country and the poisoning of its brave soldiers with rotten rations? Secretary Alger is described as boiling over with indignation because Gen. Miles is “talking out’’ about the beef scandal. ‘He considers ita breach of decorum grave enough to merit pun- ishment. Would Gen. Alger consider talking a breach of decorum if, instead of telling unpleasant truths, Gen. Miles were slathering the Alger administration with praise and de- nouncing men who wanted the truth brought out? Another question arises from this view of reprehensibleness in an-army officer’s conduct—would not the punishment of Gen. Mil@s for refusing to keep silence and suppress the beef scandal prove a combination between the adnrinistration and dishunest contractors? Queenie = = i i J It has been urged that the coming Fair at St. Louis should not be made international in scope, because it would be bad business policy to allow foreign manufacturers to bring their goods here for exhibit and capture trade. But the consular re- ports are full of facts and figures showing that American: manufacturers are beating those of Europe and elsewhere on their oWn ground, and that these foreign manufacturers are getting desperate on the subject of holding their own ground at home. What have we to fear, therefore, from allowing them to show their products here? Such an exhibit would add vastly to the interest of the Fair, and could do us no harm. a + &-> wry If the President is weighted with anxieties, it is no wonder. A Post-Dispatch special reports that he always carefully in- spects the wooden model and pegs by which the places of guests at the White House table are to be placed. This highly important and necessary task is undoubtedly well calculated to bring on nervous prostration. feel depressed from merely reading about it. “The Democratic Excise Commissioner of St. Louis gets $26,150 a year, more than five times as much as the Governor of the State,’ says a Ziegenhein organ. This is not a desirable condition, but the organ should have had the fairness to state that if Uncle Henry had collected the city’s dues no such amount would have gone to an. Excise Commissioner. Things will have taken a queer turn, truly, if the Spaniards in Cuba shall petition for annexation to the United States. If the war has made the Spaniards rather than the Cubans or Filfpinos our friends, it has certainly had unexpected results. > & a. rr It irritates the Administration to hear John Sherman, whom it has so shamefully niistreated, speak in approval of Gen. Miles. Neither Gen. Miles nor Mr. Sherman, however, are likely to be silenced by anything it can do. Fn Germany has learned that sugar bounties are “irrational,” but it looks as if they will be needed here if the sugar pro- ducers of the United States propose to compete with those of our colonies. - It seems that one of the necessities of war is the muzzling of army officers as well as the silencing of newspapers. We are progressing rapidly in our militarism. Should Miles be relieved of command it will be a grand lesson to other Generals who grow bold enough to let out the truth about War Department iniquities. > i a A POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. ee) > It is a great clerical error to employ clerks in the Legislature merely for political purposes. In all Ford County, dll., there is not a saloon. Let us try to con- ceive the astonishment of a Chicago visitor to Ford County. The Humane Society will have to buy a fertile hay farm if it {fs to take care of all the abandoned circus elephants. The ground hog in the sausages knows about as much of weather as the ground hog that comes out of a hole in February. The Cubans want all the Cuban offices. They do not seem to have heard of the surpassing capabilities of the Ohio man for of- ficia] life. That Polyhog Hanna might expand, John Sherman retired from the Senate. If Mr, Sherman is now an emphatic anti-expansion- ist, it is quite natural that he should be. The oldest and best known brands of Kentucky whisky are now in the hands of a Wall street syndicate. Does Wall street expect to get a jag on in addition to its other amusements? Agoncillo’s appearance in the Congressional Record is a notable event. The editor of the Record has never had a waste basket, and the Administration cuckoos will now insist that he shall be provided with one, ; If the elephant on the hands of the Humane Society were not a vegetarian he might easily be fed. There are untaxed dogs enough in St. Louis to fatten the hungriest pachyderm if he were only carnivorous. The fact that the new Senator from the State of Washington— Even newspaper patrons Addison G. Foster—does not make speeches, will please many 08 his fellow statesmen. It will give them more time to talk. No doubt Senator Morgan will cordially welcome the new man. A jockey with not sufficient knowledge to know the names of the Wall street stocks he bought is said to have won $400,000 in Wall street. The amount is quite sufficient to give him a busi- ness education. But why should so well paid and tmportant a person as a horse jockey covet more money and fame? ooo — ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Here is the proper treatment for a “black eye.” Before discoloration has set in cold compresses or evaporating lotions should be used.

The Spanis wat a@l the ys tg “pe party’s copyright- ed expansion policy have drawn public at- tention to the fact that in 1803 there was such a real estate transaction as a Louis- iana Purchase, Private John Allen says the thing should be celebrated down in Louisiana, but the St. Louis folks claim that 11 States are directly interested in this celebration, and that the most con- venient piace to have the jollification would be at St. Louis. St. Louis mercantile so- cities have interested the residents of these 11 States in their fair. Incidentally they are enlisting the aid and sympathy of the Senators and Representatives of these 11 States in their project, and these will be a goodly number when it comes to the proposition of voting a half-million dullars to aid in properly commemorating Louisiana Purchase’s birthday. All the other fair propositions are older and more matured than this, but it will perhaps be the most formidable when it comes to Con- gressional consideration. Can’t Well Do Otherwise. From the Eidon (Mo.) Advertiser. Since St. Louis has inaugurated a World's Fair for 1908 to celebrate the Louisiana Purchase, the State of Missouri cannot af- ford to do otherwise than be liberal in supporting it. Chairman Francis. je From the Lexington (Mo,) News. Hon. David R. Francis has been selected as Chairman of the World’s Fair Executive Committee. -A_ better selection could not have been made, as Mr. Francis is one of Missouri's @blest men—clear headed, prac- tical and of undoubted integrity. Edwardsville’s Interest. From the Edwardsville (11) Intelligencer, he next two years will mean a great deal to Bawardsville. The World’s Fair in St. Louis in 1903 will turn the eyes of the world to this part of the Mississippi Val- ley, It will be of greater importance than ever that the citizens elect live, enter- prising and progressive men to city offices. Bonanza to the Sucker | State. From the Auburn (TIl.) ane ee z he least of the influences PR Mansy the World's Fair of 1903 to St. Louis, is the tndefatigable work performed in that behalf by that prince of hustlers, the Poat-Dispatch. Llinols ought certainly to be fully appreciative of and grateful for the location of the exposition in St. Louis. Taking even a selfish view of the matter, it cannot fail to prove a bo- nanga to the Sucker State. more particu- larly the central and southern portions, and our people will flock thither by the hundreds. They have a “soft side’ for 81. Louis, and consider it almost as much theirs as Miseouri's. Value of Good Management. From the Little Rock (Ark.)

THE WORLD’S FAIR.} > > * Profanity in Mississippi. From the Memphis Commercial Appeal, The State of Mississippi has decided that the use of the word “‘damned”’ is profanity. This seems singular when we consider the origin and the meaning of the word. It comes from the thoroughly reputable Latin word ‘“‘damnare,’’ to condemn, and, taken by itself, there is no profanity in it. Very often the preacher does not hesitate to tell such of his congregation as are delin- quent that they are damned; and the use of the word heie is profanity under the Mississippi decision, which declares that “any words importing an imprecation of di- vine vengeance, or implying divine con- demnation,”’ constitute profanity. If one person speaks of another as a ‘‘condemned” or ‘‘hopeless’’ faol, he could not be hauled up for swearing, yet the meaning would be about the same as if he used the word ‘““damned.”” Of course, the latter word is lacking in gentility and politeness, but there is no more essential profanity in it than there is in the word “unmitigated.” NEW OPAPE ° ° ° a? 7 7 + eo . > > * * * * . * > * The Greatest Almanac.

All Sorts of Convicts. From the President of the New York State Prison Commission. About 2% per cent of convicts are what you might term “accidents; that is, they are incarcerated as the result of a single act of wrong-doing, for which they are profoundly sorry. They never before com- mitted a crime, and never will, probably, again. Another 3% per cent is composed of those who are inherently depraved, in- nately vicious; they are incurable, and will live and die criminals. The other half is of all grades between the “accidents” and the incorrigibles; they may, as some of them do, get out of confihement and live very reputable lives, or they may return to wickedness; it is only a guess about the way half of them will act on regaining freedom.

HE RECEIVED BLAST FULL IN THE FACE. Francis Wuest Groped His Out of the Mineroom Into Still Greater Danger. Francis Wuest, a Belleville coal miner, met with a terrible accient Thursday after- noon at the Hippert mine, on the outskirts of the town. He was engaged in placing a charge and had almost finished filling the drilled hote with powder. In a manner which cannot be explained the powder ignited and the charge exploded prematurely. He received its full force in his face and egainst the upper part of his body. He was completely blinded. All the hair was burned from his head. When he par- tially recovered from the shock he was lying on the floor of the room. He could see nothing, but he felt that his clothes were on fire. He tore off the burning frag- mente and saved himself from complete cremation. He was alone in the room. He cried as loud as he could for help. The echo of his own agonized cries was the only answering sound which came back to him out of the subterranean darkness. He thought if he should remain there he would perish before help came, and with the fortitude of desperation he arose and began oping his way in the direction in which he supposed other miners were at work. Picking his way painfully and cautiously down the entry his lively appreciation of other dangers caused him to cease crying aloud for help, but at every step a groan was wrung from his charred lips. His gréaning saved him from another and more terrible accident. In another room into which he _ staggered blindly Henry Barmhardt and Conrad Lauf were preparing to fire a charge. They had bored a hole with an electic drill and filled it with an unusually large charge of powder. The fuse had been laid and they were on the point of lighting it and running to places of safety, when they heard a groan. They had heard the explosion in Wuest’s room, but did not know it had been pre- mature. Their thought was that somebody had been caught by falling coal. Leaving the fuse they ran in the direction from which the sound came. Wuest heard them coming, and the de- Bpairing strength which had kept him up Save way and he sank to the floor of tihe room. Barmhardt and Lauf found him there and carried him to the foot of the shaft. A sharp tug at the signal rope brought the cage down. He was placed on it and was soon at the surface. His sufferings when the frigid air struck him were intense. He wes hurried to his home, 715 South Charles street, in a vehicle and Drs. Washington West, Sr. and Jr., were sum- moned. His recovery is doubtful. It is hardly possible that he will ever be able to see rey Besides being burned his eyes are fi led with fine particles of coal and slate. The upper part of the body is a mass of burns. Wuest is 3 years old. He has a wife and one child. He has been a coal miner 20 years and has never had a serious ac- cident before. .

He says it is not new, but rather the old, true religion based on Scriptures and holding rigidly to the tenets contained in the Book of Revela- tions. it Allmeroth’s theories earried into practice no were more generally churches bé paid to preachers. The leader points to the passage which tells of “A temple not made by human hands’ and “God wil not dwell in such a temple’ as sustainging his views in this respect. He says, too, that the Bible warns believers against ‘“hirelings.’’ So far the Brothers in Christ number six persons. There were more, but the death of Mre. Allmeroth and the withdrawal of a family reduced the number of the faithfu! from 11. The believers, as given out by the leader, are Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bus of 2508 Clara avenue, Mrs. Ebmeyer of 2510 Clara —_—_—_— ADAM ALLMIEROTH. avenue, Grandma Bus, who lives with the latter, and Benjamin Allmeroth, a son of the patriarch. Every believer must be baptized by im- mersion in a river or natural lake. AWimeroth’'s story of the founding of the brotherhood is as follows: ‘Since my early days I have studied phi- losophy, litics and government, but it is only in the last ten years that I became interested in religion. As a child I had been baptized an Evangelical Lutheran, but I grew careless of my church duties, + “One day Pastor Frank G. Tyrrell of the Central Christian Church, persuaded me to join his congregation and for some time I was an active worker. My mind is of the inquiring order and I studied the Christian or Campbellite belief thoroughly. In the end I became dissatisfied with it as not being sufficient. ‘‘Next, I became interested in the teach- ings of the Saints, a set at Grand Junction. Mich. Their I went up to them remained two months and was baptised in Lake Michigan. Yet it seemed to me that I was making no rere religiously. “The truths of the Bible, plain enough to me, were not followed closely enough. Does it not say that we must be baptised in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost? That certainly means that there must be three immersions, ‘Last summer while on Jefferson avenue I met Fred Bus, a_ painter, and brother of School Director Bus, and we talked on religious matters. We compared our views and was surprised to learn thought as I did. “ ‘Well, Bus, let us shake hands,’ I sald. ‘Scriptures teach that when any two men agree they can go forward and teach and it is our duty to do so.’ Then he paptized me. joined in our belief, as did Bus’ wife and sister and mother, grandma Bus. We held meetings quietly at our homes and I ex- pounded the word ; “We have no organization. No one is leader or teacher. Anyone has aright to ex- ress his views to an assembled body. It «a a work of love, and the only rules are those in the Bible. We believe the world w'll come to an end. but we do not name a time because the Bible does not. We do not seek converts, but encourage them if they come of their own accord. No one is im- mersed until ‘he or she asks to be. I do not er. lam only ag Pent.

He went South two months ago in search of health, and stopped in Hot Springs, at the Baldwin Hotel. His condition improved sufficiently to enable ‘him to leave and he resolved to Dav the old folks a visit . Louis over the Iron Mountain Railroad at 7: o’clock Friday morning. He was ex- khausted after the long trip, and Station Messenger Steininberger helped him from the train. He stagecred would have fallen caught him. “I’m sick,” he sald faintly, “and I want to lie down.’’ He was removed to the waiting room and the midway, and not the messenger across had placed on a cot. Then young Steininberger | disappeared, and the sick traveler was left | to his fate. Not one of the many at the station asked him if he wanted any- thing. Within a few feet of him was the radiator and the air stifling. At 8:10 o’clock a reporter discovered the |! man unconscious and breathing heavily. Station Master Coakley was notified. He called a private watchman, who in turn informed a detective of the case. They , confided the news to a policeman and then all four proceeded to the emigrant apart- ment, There was a curious crowd around where Counter lay. The poor fellow’s moans hushed their voices. “Cant we get him some brandy?” sug- gested the matron, There was no response. An old lady offered to resuscitate the sick man by her prayers. There is a doctor in the Terminal Hotel, was not called.Finally an ambu- lance was summoned. Meanwhile the death rattle sounded and the word ‘‘mother’’ es- caped the young man’s lips, as he breathed his last. It was then 8:45 o'clock. The am- bulance arrived 15 minutes later, and the body. was removed to the morgue. Mr. Anderson, passenger agent of Vandalia Railroad said: ‘‘The man dying when he got off the train and the ing for a doctor. is to blame for this neglect.’’ Counter was apparently 2 years old. He was neatly dressed. From letters found on his person it was learned he was expected in ‘Rhineland Saturday and that a celebra- tion was planned for his home-coming. “TIED UP GOOD AND HARD.” A Broken Axle Laid Out the Suburban Line for More Than an Hour. The Suburban line was tied up for an Friday morning. The axle of a car proke at Leffingwell and Franklin avenues, and traffic was suspended between Sixth street and Grand avenue except for cars going westward, There was considerable delay about mov- ing the broken car, and the only way the tracks could be cleared and people moved downtown was for cars from the east to switch at Jefferson avenue, and turn east, As soon as all the cars going west were transferred to the other track traffic was resumed. When this slow system was at work the other track was cleared and ey- erything was again in motion. but not fore several ‘hundred people were half froz- en trying to warm up electric heaters, and | the other half fled to adjacent lines, appear- ing late at office and store with the an- cient excuse which employers receive with arched and questioning eyebrows.

Papal Delegation at Washington Has Completely Upheld the Judg- ment of the Archbishop. dOO06-06 00000004 -42024O0O0O4® Father Tuohy’s Sentence. 1. He must give up the parochial residence of St. Patrick’s Parish held by him or his representatives, ° He must make a retreat of ten days in a monastery or perform such other penance as ‘Archbishop Kain may impose. 3. His suspension will continue un- til his penance has been performed. 4. After he has complied with the terme of the sentence he jis to be giv- en a charge which will assure him a decent support. boO0o-o4 DODO OD OO OG4O0O-4® The decision in the case of Father Tuohy, late pastor of St. Patrick’s Church, has been forwarded to Archbishop Kain. It was formulated by the apostolic delegation at Washington, sitting as a court of lust fesort, and there is no appeal from it. The case passed through the ecclesiastical courts in St. Louis and Chicago and was referred to the propagenda in Rome. There was decided that the proper tribuna] to handle it was the- papal delegation at Washington. The fight between Archbishop Kain and FPather Tuohy has been a Jong and hotly contested one. It started two years ago, when the Archbishop objected to a Protes- tant organist going inside the altar railing of St. Patrick’s Church with the surpliced choir boys. - Father Tuohy replied that he was run- ming the church. The Archbishop ordered him to vacate the parochial residence. He refused to comply and held on until Arch- bishop Kain suspended him and removed him from the pastorate of St. Patrick’s. The controversy which followed the af- fairs of the parish were discussed at great length and much factional feeling resulted. Father Tuohy’s mother and sister are etill occupying the St. Patrick’s parochial residence. He is in New York. Hiram J. Grover’of the firm of Grover & McClelland, Father Tuohy’s attorneys, said Friday: ‘Assuming that the decision is as stated, I should say it is in the nature of a vic- tory for Father Tuohy. It will be remer- bered that the order from which Father Tuohy appealed, directed him to go to Edina, Mo., as an assistant priest. Father g Tuohy declined to obey, claiming that he could not be degraded from the position of pastor to that of assistant. It will also be seen that the decision says nothing about Father Tuohy’s obeying the order to go to Eina or becoming an assistant priest. “This was the main point in the case, and the question of possession of St. Pat- rick’s was secondary to it. Hence Father meh wins his main point, although he . to give up the St. Patrick’s residence, if he chooses to obey and does not further appeal. “The civil cases will be properly taken eare of. The appeal will be fully prepared and the brief filed before the March term of the Court of Appeals.

Attorney Is Alleged to Have Failed in His Reports to Account for Certain Sums, The Fidelity Deposit and Bonding Co. has employed detectives to search for Attor- ney James M. Borton, who, it is said, has disappeared without giving a satisfactory account of a receivership which he was administering. Borton was a law partner of Thomas B. Estop. Several weeks ago Mr. Estop re- celved a note from Borton informing him he was going to Belleville on business. Since then, Mr. Ertel says, he has heard nothing from Borton, whose numerous creditcrs, he says, have constantly be sieged his office. When the two proprietors of a saloon né@ar Sixth and Locust streets disagreed ove their business affairs last summer'and took their trowbles into court, Judge Talty ap- pointed Borton receiver for the concern. Hig bond wes furnished by the Fidelity Deposit and Bonding Co. It is said that as soon as Borton took charge of the saloon he permitted his ex- travagant disposition to get the better of his judgment. He epent more money than a oo i Bn seneeee and dispensed e liquor and cigars of th , —_ hand, >. om wR Ss owever, no one 6uspected that B was behind with his accounts, and yo vestigation of the affairs of the receiver- ship was made until after his disappear- ance. It was learned then that he had failed to make returns to the court for a considerable sum of money which he is a)- leged to have received, The Fidelity De- posit and Bonding Co. paid the receiver, who was appointed to succeed Borton. the amount Seen, wae Be goturn had been made. a why 6 ndin is looking for Borton., eared ty Borton was admitted to the bar in 1897.
