M. McVean received a box of | puzzled after the woman left. He could confectionery through the mails. A missive! not see any clew in what she had laid that accompanied it said it friend. Mrs. McVean submitted the candy to, Chief of Police Campbell and said she feared that it was poisoned. The candy was submitted by Chief Campbell to City Chemist Tiechmann who after an analysis gaid it contzined large quantities of arseric. The same hand that addressed the pack- age of candy has written numerous letters to Mrs. McVean attacking her character viciously. The police announced Saturday that it was Mrs. McVean who wrote all the letters, and mailed herself the poisoned cau‘ly. ‘Detectives have worked 6n the casa, and it is sald they are in possession of evidence that will substantiate this theory. This po- lice theory is vigorously denied. ' Mrs. F. M.*MecVean lives at 4015 Cook avenue, with her sister, a Mrs. Megraw. There are other persons who figure cx- tensively in this most remarkable case. The other principals are: Mrs: W. H. Graham and her 22-year-old daughter, Zoe, who live at 3113 Chestnut etreet; Dr. Frank Glasgow, a well-known physician, living at 3894 Washington boule- vard; Miss Elnora Henley, a saleswoman at the Busy Bee candy store, and détec- tives, police, etc. The Grahams say they have known Mrs. McVean far some years, but deny that they were ever on intimate terms. Mrs. Me- Vean told the police that she believed the scurrilous letters were written by Miss Zoe Graham, and that she also sent the poisoned candy. For nearly a month Chief of Detectives Desmond and two of his men, Keeley and Cordell, have been-working on the etrange case. They now think they have reached the bottom, and will turn the case over to the United States Posta] authorit.es. cam2 from a | One night nearly a month ago Mrs. Mc- Veun went to the home of Chief of Detec- tives Desmond and mysteriously asked a private interview with him. She said it wae & matter of the greatest importance. When informed that the Chief was not at home she said she would wait for him. When Chief Desmong reached home he found the woman apparently hysterical. She appeared afraid of everyone and would only speak to the Chief when she was assured no one was in hearing. ) Then she produced a big bundle of let- ters. The envelopes were all addressed in the same chirography. The address was printed in lead pencil, and the characters were all large and scrawling. The letters were all postmarked. showing that they had been mailed in St. Louis. The enclosures were prepared ‘n the same manner that the envelopes were addressed. They were written on a cheap grade of mote paper, and the full four pages were invariably covered. There was no signa- ture to a single letter. Each letter denounced Mrs. McVean in the heartiest manner, and she wae threat- ened with exposure and with ruin in- each letter. Sometimes the letters were addressed to Mrs. Megraw, Mre. McVean's sister, but the tenor of the letters was always the game. Mrs. McVean, who ts a stylish and handsome appearing woman, not yet 40 years of age, appeared greatly d'stressed While telling the chief her story. She de- clared there was no foundation for any of the charges. She was so frightened at the receipt of the letters, however, that she had been driven to desperation and Was at that time under a physician's care for nervous prostration. Chief Desmond was greatly puzzled. He questioned the woman cloeely, but he could detect no weak spot in her story. He asked her who her physician was. She re- plied that Dr. Frank Glasgow of 3894 Wash- ington boulevard was attending her. Then she told the chief that Dr. Glasgow had also received letters denouncing her. She had no idea who they come from mor why they were sent. LIGGETT.

Next morning Chief Desmond consulted with Chief of Police Campbell, and the two heads of the Police Department de- termined to get at the tom of the mysterious affair. 4 Detectives Keeley af™® rdell were de- tailed on the case, They visited ‘Mrs, Mc- Veun in he: home, She told them ail that she hed told the Chief and in addition showed them another letter that came after she had reported the matter to Des- mond. Then the detectives called on Dr. Glas- gow. He admitted that Mrs. McVean was under his treatment. and that he had re- ceived some anonymous letters that were intended to lower Mrs. McVean in his es- teem, but he paid no attention to them. The detectives found themselves balked at nearly rate | turn. The letters continued to come, and Mrs. McVean appeared to be on the verge of a nervous collapse. Still there was no clew to the eender of the let- ters, Two weeks ago there was a startling turn in the mysterious case. When the detec- tives called on Mrs. McVean she showed them a box of candy that she had received through the mails. The address was the same as on all of the letters. Mrs. McVean said she feared it was polis- oned and she tasted none of it. jere was a clew at last, the detectives thought. On the box were the words, ‘‘from the Busy Keo Candy Store.’’ The detectives took the candy to police headquarters. It was examined by Chiefs Campbell and Desmond. The candy was preserved fruits of the choicest make. It was enclosed In a fancy box and the marks on the box showed that it alone cost 2% cents. Chief Campbell divided the confection into two equal parte. One half he locked in his desk. The other was sent to City Chemist Teicimann with instructions to make a careful analysis. Then the detectives visited the Busy Bee candy store, talking the box with them. They inquired of all the salesgirls and were becoming despondent of ever finding whom they were searching for. It was then that they spoke to Miss Elnora Henley, one of the saiesgirls She remembered the box. She also re- membered the woman she sold it to. She forgot, for the time being, the name of the purchaser, but she had a card in her purse that would recall it. The detectives were astonished beyond measure when Miss Henley returned and exhibited a handsomely engraved card bearing the name, “Mrs. F. Al. McVean.”’ Under the name, written in lead pencil, was the address, ‘4015 Cook avenue.” “Miss Henley told the detectives that she recalled the transaction thoroughly. Mrs. McVean asked her about a certain person who Miss Henley knew. When Mrs. Mc- Vean left ehe gave her the card. Matters were allowed to remain in this state until Friday, when City Chemist Teichmarn sent to Ch.ef Camppell the re- sult of his analysis. It showed there was sufficient arsenic in the candy to kill a dozen men. Mrs. McVean and Mrs. Megraw were sent for. For several hours Friday they were in Chief Campbell's private office. The doors were locked. Then Mrs. MecVean to!d who she euspect- ed. She said that a Miss Zoe Graham of 8118 Chestnut street was in love w.th Dr. Glasgow. The ay knew, so Mrs. Mce- Vean said, that Dr. Glasgow was paying her attentions. Mrs. McVean thought that M:ss Graham was sending her the letters to frighten her and was also sending Dr. Glasgow the letters so as to poison his mind against her. Mrs. McGraw also said that only a few nights ago she saw Mrs. Graham and her daughter walking along in front of their to ence on Cook avenue. studying the piace, Dr. Glasgow w3s then asked to call on Chiefs Campbell 4nd Desmond Friday. Dr. Glasgow declared he did not have any matrimonial intentions concerning either woman. He scarcely knew M.ss Graham. He said he had been asked to treat Mrs. McVean for certain diseases, and after making thorough examinations he could find no traces of any such diseases. Mrs, McVean and her sister, Mra. Me- raw deny that either of them wrote the | etters or gent the polsoned candy. Saturday morning Mrs. Graham and her daughter wete closeted in the Chief of Po- lice’s office. They were astonished and in- dignant at the implied charge. Mrs. Graham said that she had known the McVean’s for many years, but not in- timately. Aas for the daughter, Miss Zoe, she she had not been half a dozen times in her life in Mrs. McVean’s house. Mrs. Graham said they had called Dr. Glasgow in once or twice to prescribe for Miss Graham, but he was never considere their family physician, and once, several] months ago, Dr. Glasgow when called, saying he was busy. Ch.ef Campbeil saye he is confident that Miss Graham is not responsible for the sencing either the letters or the poisoned Candy, = res ae ee oe ee ee. ee ee - lea that the Union Tobacco with the American To- over on the Co, {is not aliled bacco Co, LARGE INCREASE OF CAPITAL Union Tobacco Co.

Mrs. Withey First Rescued Her Chil- dren and Then Went Back Into the Flames to Aid an Aged Man Wuo Was Ill. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. 4—In a board- ing house fire early this morning three persons were burned to death. The dead are: MISS HELEN ROSE. MRE. MATTIE WITHEY, proprietress, JAMES C. HALL. Ben Fairchild, painfully burned. Miss Mary Hall, burned about the face. The boarding house was at the northeast corner of Seventh and Cook etreets, a large two-story brick structure. The boarding house was conducted by Mrs.Mattie Withey and she proved her heroism when the test came and gave up her life in a futile effort to save the inmates of her establishment. At 5:30 o'clock this morning Ralph Withri, One of Mrs. Withey’s four children was awakened by the roar of the flames. He at once awakened his mother and together they got the other children out of the ouse. The boy ran to turn the fire alarm and Mrs. Withey returned to the building to heip out a Mr. Hall, a man of Sv Who lay ill in the second story. The screams of the awakening inmates aroused those who were still asleep and fig- ures ran about the hallways ina bewilder- ing way, dressed only in their sleeping gowns. The entire building was quickly enwrapped in flames and smoke. Mrs. Withey succeeded in getting to Hall's room and later her charred and un- recognizable body was found. Hall was found in the room. His body was charred. Miss Rose was seen in the lower hallway by groping boarders and when she _ suc- ceeded in reaching the outer door, she fell dead in the arms of Ralph Withri. Miss Mary Hall, the daughter of the dead man, was nearly suffocated when she awoke. She with difficulty found an exit and was painfully burned. Thomas Stacey, a reveling salesman, and his wife, roomed near the front door, and they escaped in their night clothes un- harmed. Lochman -and Bullard, room- mates, escaped with difficulty by swinging out of a window. In the meantime, . the neighbors had been aroused, and the shiv- cring men aid women were taken into warm houses. There were 20 peonle in the house. The bodies of the dead have been found, and a coroner’s inquest will be held this after- noon Mr. Hall has been a grocer here for years. His family consists of grown sons and daugnters. one. Albert Hall, being em- ployed by the Armour Packing Co. in East St. Louie, and another, Clark Hall, is em- ployed in a St. Louis dry goods store. Miss Rose was a sister of Mrs. John Mc- Creery, wife of the owner of the St. Nicho- las Hotel. She was an elderly woman, Mrs. Withey has conducted this place for years, and it was patronized by the best people. She was the divorced wife of Al- bert Withey, a wealthy carriage manufac- turer. Mrs. Withri was also quite well known throughout the State, having been Stete President of the Daughters of Re- bekah and for many years prominently identified with that order. he origin of the fire is not known, but is supposed to have been a defective flue. The ‘nterior of the house was totally de- stroyed,. leaving only the brick walls stand- ing. The loss is probablv $10.000, partially covered by insurance. Ry mistake what was intended for a fire alarm brought only the patrol wagon, and it was 2 minutes before the fire depart- ment arrived. PLENTY OF ZERO WEATHER, Forecaster Hyatt Predicts It Will Be Exceedingly Cold Sunday, With Snow Flurries Meanwhile. “Zero weather, plenty of it, and probeble snow flurries {s all that we can promise | St. Louisans for Sunday,” said Dr. Hyatt, from his weather incubator in the Custom House Saturday. “Our contract for this spell of continued moderately weather will expire Sunday night,’’ said the Doctor, cheerily, “but it will be well enough not to lay aside warm wraps when starting down town Monday morning. This is 'a little farther along than we are in the habit of making prom- ises, but if our patrons can get any con- solation from the record they are wel- come.” Then the Doctor placed his finger on a map and remarked that it was snowing at a good rate in the Lake Region Saturday. “We shall be pretty apt to get the edges of that Lake snowstorm within the next 24 hours,” he said, “although: it is raining down in the Gulf country.”’ Refering to the variableness of the eicunt, er in the’ United States, he said: “If you will notice, we chased the mer- cury to #® below at Miles City, Mont., at 8 o'clock Saturday morning, and at New Or- | difference of 104 failed to come ‘degrees, the low barometer extending all leans it was 68 above, a along the Atlantic coast.” THE WEATHER FORECAST.

LOUIS. “In days of old, when knights were bold and barons held their sway,” they had no bars and trolley cars like those we have to- And yet we know that long ago, when men were heavyweights, they oft went out with mirth and shout and slid *‘skates.”’ And talking about Iice—do you know that you can go from St. Louis to the Klondike day. around on in 15 days, and that you can travel over the White Horse Pass and steam through Cir- cle City in warm, upholstered coaches, just like those you ride in when a sad fate com- pels you to visit Chicago? No mofe Chil- koot Passes to cross; no more danger of being frozen to death; no more risks of be- ing wrecked on the cruel current of the White Horse Rapids; no more wondering when you start if you will ever see dear old St. Louls again. Every mile of the trip can be traveled in comfort, and the journey will cost you only $500, as you will find by reading to-morrow’s Sunday Post- Dispatch. It is more thah probable that the Alaskan trip will become the favorite with men who have summer vacations and mon- ey with which to enjoy themselves. Just think of it, fellow hirelings! Next summer, when the mercury is toying with the 100 mark and we are trying to keep cool by riding on street cars and drinking lemonade, sodywater and things our em- ployers will be on the other side of the Arctic Circle, throwing snowballs at polar bears and playing hide-and-seek with Es- quimaux maidens in the crevices of ice- bergs! Well, you know what WE will do. We will just keep on working, so that they can enjoy themselves undisturbed, and at night, however tired we might be, we will hie away to some summer garden and pay three prices for cold drinks and listen to the orchestra play “I Wants My Lulu, My Baby Lu, indeed I do, I loves her true,” that’s what we’ll do, and laugh at the same old gags through the whiskers of which the winds blew eight years ago last March. But, whatever our lot may be, there is one spot on earth where the people will en- joy themselves. They cannot help it. It is in the air. There the traveler finds ‘‘sleep that gentliier lies than tired eyelids upon tired eyes.”’ It ig as near paradise as this small earth affords. Robert Louis S8Ste- venson visited this place and loved it. Un- der different circumstances he might have lived there, rather than. on the~.beautifu! island where he died. Other travelers have pronounced this place to be the most idyllic in. existence. Of course you will want to know about this charming spot, and you will find a well-written description of it among the many interesting features of to- morrow’s Sunday Post-Dispatch. If a man were only over there with a ca- mera—but, say! That reminds me of some- thing in which every boy and girl, and es- pecially every amateur photographer, will be interested. Two weeks ago a Chicago man invented a camera which cost him the small sum of one dime, 10 cents. That ap- peared wonderful, at first glance, but a St. Louisan totally eclipsed him by construct- ing a camera which cost him absolutely NOTHING. Impossible? Oh, no! You can do it yourself. In to-morrow’s Sunday Post-Dispatch the inventor will describe in ‘detail the process of making the camera, and with the article will appear three ecenes on St. Louis streets, taken with this remarkable picture-box. Speaking of pictures—wouldn’t you like to see a photograph of a man who would cut $1500 off of his yearly salary for the good of his employers? Well, we will show you one. He is a great man. St. Louisans did not “‘discover’ him, They did not ree- ognize his greatness, That was left for out- siders, and they did it. As a consequence he is about to be taken away from us. Do you know him? You will enjoy a talk with him in to-morrow’s Sunday Post-Dis- patch. There is another man in St. Louls who has a record equally astonishing, His next door neighbor does not know that he is famous. He is regarded in the block where he lives as an honest workman—no more. Yet in the scientific world he is°a shin- ing light. You will be surprised to learn what he has done for Missouri, And speaking about Missouri—Kentucky is a mighty fine State. Over there in that region of bluegrass and red licker there is a woman who has every female inhab- ‘tant of Missouri distanced several blocks. She has wealth, beauty and brains. and all these she brings to bear for good on the unique business in which she is en- gaged. I can conscientiously recommend this, along with a score of other features 'which will appear in to-morrow’s Sunday | Post-Dispatch, as what newspaper men eall “a corking good story.” | You will also be interested in the account (of the assembling next week of the most important body of women in America, which will discuss a dozen subjects of in- terest to every woman, young and old, in this large country. Illustrated. If Il were disposed to do so and had time, I could sit here fer an hour or two more and tell you about some of the good things in store for you to-morrow morning, like this, for example: A new story of Missouri's female giant, The triumphant trip of Lord and Lady Curzon to India.

A horse enveloped in flame and mad with pain and terror dashed through the sta- bles at Madison Friday afternoon.

It was the second fire at the Madison race tracks this week, and the same horse was the central figure of each. Wednesday morning a stable on the north side of the track and east of the grand- stand caught fire and before the blaze was extinguished 80 stables were burned, The only horse severely burned was Ear!

Mitchell, submitting to the vote of stock- holders, the proposition to sell the road to a syndicate at $175 a share for the common and $200 for the preferred stock. While no positive advice is tendered the stockholders in Mr. Blackstone’s circular, no one can read it without being convinced that the writer is bitterly opposed to the adoption of the proposition. From the beginning, the negotiations it is said, have been car- ried on in opposition to Mr. Blackstone's views and wishes. It was Mr. Blackstone s veto that prevented the sale of the Chi- cago & Alton to the Kansas City Pittsburg & Guif road. The present proposition may be more favorable from several view points, ‘but it apparently still falls short of being what, in Mr. Blackstone's opinion, would be fair to all the ‘stockholders of the Chicago & Alton. In the circular issued to-day Mr. Black- stone points out that the road has been fhrouakeut the whole period of business de- pression paying 7 per cent dividends; oat the earnings at the present tme woulc justify the directors in paying 5 per cent, but due consideration for the physical con- dition of the road has induced them to pureue the conservative pol.cy of reserving large amounts for its improvements. The circular further deals with the fact that the bond issue of the road will mature in less than three years and can be refunded for less than one-half the present rate of interest, standing offers having been re- ceived for the full amount required to carry through this plan. When that has been done there will not only be a reasonable proba- bility, but a certainty, that the property, if managed as it has been, will then be able to pay stockholders lo per cent’ on thelr holdings. RUMORED RAILWAY DEAL. Seaboard Air Line Said to Have Been Added to Memphis Route. ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 4.—Among the many rumors current in the South regard- ing the sale and consolidation of the rail- roads is one to-day, to the effect that the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis Rail- road has purchased the Seaboard Air Line and will reach Birmingham from Atlanta by using the East and West Railroad. This line runs from Cartersville, Gas to Pell City, Ala., and would still leave a gap between Atlanta and Cartersville. This point, however, is reached by the Western & Atlantic, with whom the Seaboard Air Line already has a working arrangement. The Georgia & Alabama, which is generally supposed to have been acquired recently by the Seaboard, is also mentioned in the deal. The purchase which would give a direct line to the Atlantic’ Ocean from the West is a connection long desired by the “Memphis Route."’ The rumor does not re- ceive much credence in Atlanta, nor is it believed that the conference at Aragon yesterday between C. H. Cappa, General Freight Agent of the Seaboard, and Maj. A. Pope, General Freight and Passenger Agent of the Georgia & Alabama, had anything to do with it. However, Presi- dent Washburn of the ‘““Memphis Route’ was recently in conference at Montgomery with the officials of the Georgia & Ala- bama, and to this railroad attach much significance. TRUS OF CASTARON PLANTS. This Is the Latest Movement in the Combination of American Industries. CHICAGO, Feb. 4.—One of the latest movements to combine industrial corpora- tions is that which has for its object the consolidation of a number of the more im- ortant cast iran plants of the country. he name of the company is to be the United States Cast Iron and Foundry Co., and will have a capitalization of $21,000,000, divided into $12,000,000 of 7 per cent non- cumulative preferred and _ $12,000,000 of common stock. Th@ combination wiil be made upon the American Pipe and Foundry Co., Dennis, Long & Co., Addleston Pipe and Steel Co., Lake Shore Foundry Co., Ohio Pipe Co., Buffalo Pipe Co., McNeal Pipe and Foundry Co., and National Pipe and Foundry Co. These eight concerns are said to control more than 9% per cent of the total output of cast iron pipe in the country. More than one-half of the capital stock of the new corporation has been ‘taken by the owners of the plants which it is proposed to consolidate, and. $4,000,000 of the remainder has been subscribed for in New York. Subscribers will receive one share of the common with each share of the preferred etock. KILLED TWO AND HIMSELF.

ARRESTED AS SHOPLIFTERS. THE BOY CONFESSED, BUT “TOOK IT ALL BACK.” Mother and Son Had Articles on Them Which the Pojice Allege They Can Prove Were Stolen From Barr’s. Mre. Wilhelmina Altrup and her 14-year- old son are prisoners in the matron’s room at the Four Courts, charged with shoplift- ing. They were arrested Friday afternoon at Barr's by Detective Lawler on complaint of John Daniels, superintendent of the lin- en department. When Mrs. Altrup was searched at the police headquarters a basketful of goods was found on her. In her cloak were large inside pockets and these were well filled with goods. The boy had two cheap watches and sev- eral paint brushes. Mrs. Altrup claimed when first arrested that she had never stolen before and pleaded for mercy. The boy did not cor- roborate her statement. He admitted that he had gone on several similar excursions with his mother and that a quantity of goods might be found in their home at 2346 Pope avenue. Investigation at the residence brought to light several hundred doliars worth of goods. Among the articles were table cloths, hose, clocks, underwear, a zither, shoes, slippers, napkins and dress oods. * They were tightly packed in the bottom of the wardrobe and bureau, and were in art identified by agents from the Grand- Leader and Barr's. Saturday morning Mrs. Altrup and her eon denied their former statements. Mrs. Altrup is a gray-haired woman. She speaks in broken English, and in a most emotional manner. he claims entire in- nocence and the son now corroborates her assertions. “T never was in trouble before,’’ she said, ‘and I didn't steal a thing. I can show re- ceipts for every article that I had and for all that was found at the house. The de- tective took things that the children had been wearing and that had been paid for with honest money. ‘“‘My boy took the paint brushes, but I knew nothing of that. He took them be- cause he loves to draw and paint, and we were too poor to buy things for him. He is so young that it was wrong to arrest hiem.’’ “Ire. Altrup stated that. her husband was in the brickmaking business, but spoke very diffidently and said that he had not been to see her. Saturday morning Henry Altrup, the wo- man’s husband, calle at the Four Courts to go bond and if possible placate the managers of the dry goods stores. Representatives of FParr’s and of Craw- ford’s identified many of the _ articles brought from Mrs. Altruth’s home. Her husband stated that she was of unsound mind, and it was agreed not to prosecute her. Part of the goods the husband claimed to have receipts for, and this portion will be held until his claim is established. SUICIDE OF A YOUNG BRIDE.

Former River Man and More Recently a Billiard Hall Proprietor, 71 Years Old, Kills Himself. James Garwood, formerly proprietor of a billiard room at Jefferson avenue and Olive street, committed sulcide Saturday morning by shooting himself through the head. He was 71 years old and was a citizen of St. Louis for 530 years. He and his wife lived in the second floor flat, 2606 Olive street. About 9:15 o’clock the woman who occu- ples the lower flat heard Mrs. Garwood scream. She rushed upstairs and found Mrs. Garwood almost in hysterics, bending over the form of her husband, who lay dead on the bed. No one in the house heard the shot. Be- fore committing the deed, Mr. Garwood carefully closed the doors leading ‘to his room. Mrs. Garwood says she and her husband were going out. Mr. Garwood was not quite ready and she went down into the hall to wait for him. After waiting about five minutes she thought it strange that he did not come. She went to his room and found him dead with a bullet wound in his head and a revolver by his side. Garwaqoed was formerly one of the best- known river men in St. Louis. He worked as a steamboat engineer for 45 years. In 1885 and 1886 he was employed as engineer at the Waterworks by Gen. John D. John- son. About 10 years ago he gave up his work as engineer and started a billiard hall at Jefferson avenue and Olive street. He remained there until shortly after last FeNnccpay = yighe The windows still bear the eign: “Garwoeod’s Billiard Hall.’’ His bus!l- ness was not prosperous, and it is thought that that, together with despondency over sickness from which he recovered about pa ys weeks ago, was the cause of hia sul- cide. Mr. Garwood was born in Steubenville, O., in 1828. He came to St. Louis in 1848, and in 1849 he married Mrs. Nancy Wilson of Louisville. They made their home in St. Louis since their marriage. Mrs. Garwood says that her husband has borer, 54 her knowledge, threatened to kill mself. QUESTION GOES TO EXPERTS. Naval Board Will Consider ‘Relative Justice in Cases of Sampson and Schley. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—To insure the submission to the Senate of an unbiased report relative to the promotion of Rear Admirals Sampson and Schley, Secretary Long has assembled a board of naval of- ficers to carefully examine all records and obtain the facts bearing upon the conduct of both officefs during the war with Spain. This board consists of Capt. R. D. Evans, who commanded the battleship Iowa in the Santiago engagement; Capt. H. C. Tay- lor, who was in command of the battleship Indiana; Lieut. W. J. Sears, who was Rear Admiral Schley’s flag lieutenant, and En- sign H. H. Ward, assistant to Capt. Crow- inshield. Chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Capt. Evans was attached to the flying squadron which left Hampton Roads under command of Commodore Schley and which proceeded to Cienfuegos, and finally to San- tiago. Capt. Taylor was attached to Rear Admiral Sampson’s command in front of Havana during the anxious days when the whereabouts of Cervera’s squadron were unknown, and went to Santiago in com- mand of the fleet which convoyed Gen. Shafter’s army. Lieut. Sears is regarded as Rear Admiral Schiey’s direct represen- tative, as he was a member of his staff during the entire time Rear Admiral Schley was afloat. Mr. Ward was not connected with either squadron, his duty having been of a secret nature and calling him to Porto Rico. Secretary Long believes the report of the poard will bear out the action of ‘e Pres- ident. It ia expected that the |. ird will be engaged several days in its work. Farmers’ Elevator Appeal Bond. Henry W. Sebastian, receiver of the Farmers’ Elevator Co., filed_a bond Satur- day for an appeal to the Supreme Court of the judgment for $7800 of the General Fire Extinguisher Co. against the Farmers’ Elevator Co.

Because of a too tender conscience Thomas Foster is now held in the Central District holdover charged with burglary and larceny. And because a thief wanted to make some sort of restitution Herman Hubbens, a jeweler in the International Bank Build- ing, is in a fair way to recover a valise containing packages of jewels valued at several hundred dollars and legal documents worth quite as much more. Wednesday night a burglar broke into the office of Hubbens and carried off a valise full of jewels and papers which the owner had left in his desk. A report was made at once to police headquartere, but the facts were suppressed from the public, and special officers detailed on the case, Friday afternoon Detective Kelley, who was standing on the corner of Nintno and Olive streets, noticed two lads carrying be- tween them a large valise, which was wrapped in heavy brown paper in such manner as to show that an attempt had been made to conceal its true character. The valise, moreover, as far as could be seen corresponded quite closely to the descrip- tion given of the hand bag filled with jewels which had been stolen from Hub- ges pg ore before. celley took the valise from th s.

On the other hand, Senator Jones of Arkansas has brought an “official” poll, claiming 33 votes against the treaty. In this list are the names of Kenney of Delaware and Jones of Nevada. The administration claims Kenney, but that Senator told a prominent Western Senator late last night that he would vote against the treaty. There is no disguising the fact that the administration Senators are badly scared. President McKinley has been told by half a dozen Senators that the result is in doubt, with the indications pointing to a rejection of the treaty. Senator Akin told him the Situation was grave and that he must not be surprised if the treaty is beaten. rman and Jones of Arkansas hold the key and they have turned a deaf ear to the pleadings of Chairman Davis and ad- ministration Senators. MAY TREAT WITH AGUINALDO. Success in Conciliating Gomez Creates Hope of Further Compromise. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Believing that the pacification of Cuba is assured‘as a re- sult of the conciliation of Gen. Gomez, ad- ministration officials are urging the Presi- dent to take action looking to the concilia- tion of Aguinaldo and securing his co-op- eration in settling the Philippine question. The authorities are confident that there will be no trouble in accomplishing the disbandment of the Cuban Army, now that its leader has consented to aid the Presi- dent in bringing peace to the island. Gen. Gomez's dispatch to the President was most flattering. He presented his compli- ments and said he would be very glad to comply with the wishes of the President and that he would go to Havana and con- fer with Gen. Brooke relative to the settie- ment of questions concerning the affairs of the island. Secretary Hay, by direction of the President, immediately sent a con- gratulatory cablegram to Mr. Porter for transmission to Gen. Gomez. In view of this satisfactory outcome in Cuba it is urged by some that a similar experiment should be tried with Aguinaldo. Advices from Gen. Otis show that cond!l- tions in the archipelago are improving. He states that he is confident that when the treaty of peace shall have been ratified the opposition to American control will col- lapse. Gen. Otis has before been directed to keep in communication with Aguinaldo and explain the friendly purposes of this yovernment, but the point is made that if the commission now on the way to the Philippines or one of its members, should be directed to confer with Aguinaldo, as Mr. Porter was instructed to do with Go- mez and explain the wishes of the Presi- dent. a different aspect would be placed on the situation, If the President chose to do so, he could, with propriety, have a conversation with Agoncillo, who represents Aguinaldo, and explain the purposes of this Government. Agoncillo has made himself distasteful to this Government, however, because of his action in making public the documents he submitted to the State Department and sending cablegrams to his chief advising him of the developments in the situation. Through his secretary, Agoncillo has pre- sented at the State Department another memorandum showing that the area of territory and number of people controlled - by the ‘“‘Philippine Republic” is many times greater than that controlled by Spain when she was recognized as the sovereign of the archipelago, and overwhelmingly greater than that controlled by the United States, which only holds Manila. He inclosed ad- ditional data attempting to show the right of the Philippines to govern themselves and closing by urging that the United States should recognize the republic. No notice will be taken of the communication, DEATHS. Pearl Johnson, 17 years, 3219 Hebert street; con- sumption. Mary Ryan, 45, 1116 North Thirteenth street; fracture of skull (accident).

MASSING OF TROOPS ACROSS THE CHANNEL A MENACE. Member of the Cabinet Gives Out an Interview in Paris and De- clares That a Conflict Is Inevitable. LONDON, Feb. 4.—An alleged interview with the French: Minister of Marine, M. Lockroy, published in a Rome paper, has created great stir in official quarters in London, as it is held to show that France has in nowise buried the hatchet, but is de- termined to attack Great Britain at the first opportunity. M. Lockroy begins by describing the Brit- ish naval organization as being “all hum- bug’ and saying “The English have only the brutal force of numbers.” The Minister of Marine is also quoted as declaring that war with Great Britain is inevitab'e, and he is said to have added in consequence: ‘“‘Let England continue to construct big warships. r naval pro- gramme jis steel plated, powerful, swift cruisers, torpedo boat destroyers and sub- marine boats.’”’ The British newspapers have apparently taken these utterances seriously and are urging the Government to reply “to words with deeds.”’ These French menaces seem to accord with confidential information to the effect that military and naval circles here are convinced that France means war. Secret advices, it appears, have been received at the British War Office showing that the French authorities are noiselessly prepar- ing for the struggle. In fact, it is even said the Napoleonic idea of an invasion of Great Britain is revolving in the minds of the French military authorities, and, at the present moment, a gradual but silent movement of troops is said to be proceeding towards the Northern coast of France where, in two months’ time, it is asserted. about 150,000 men will be in concentration. — The British war authorities are deter- mined not to wait for France’s convenience but to “call her hand” as they did in the aga oe and may declare that ey rega $s concentrati ae an ho of war. oy oe weeps n the meanwhile the British na paying the greatest attention to Rai Ml The ene sgt this week has been engaged every morning in fir at moving targets. 4 _ sme BOOM SAGS A LITTLE WALL STREET PRICES OF THE WEEK FALL OFF. NBW YORK, Feb. 4.—Stock quotations, compared with final figures of Friday last week, are substantially lower, some of the active shares figuring for as much as four points, with the general decline being from 1% to 21%, with a number of exceptions “72s which were not important except advance of 9% in Consolidated Gas, and 9 in Metro- politan Street Railway. Dealings were on a contracted scale compared with the im- mense volume of business of late, the daily average being about: three-quarters of a million shares. Sterling exchange hardened, partly because of the large return of Amer- ican securities from abroad, the result of last week 8 sales for London account, al- though this week London was a moderate buyer on balance. Another reason assigned for the strength in sterling exchange was a tendency to discount America’s possible payment to Spain of $20 000.000. The balance of trade funds still due this country, however, are said to be largely in excess of the combined value of securities sold back to Ameriga by foreign holders and the Philippine indemnity money. The supply of money was abundant, and but little affected by February interest and div- idend rogerements, and the gradual return to the Government of the Union Pacific funds from the depository banks.

A factor which had some sen- timental influence on the quotations was the conflicting advices as to the likelihood of the peace treaty’s ratification. FUGITIVE SUED FOR PARDON.

Lr > rT THE ARMY BILL. The army bi!) which passed the House fixes the maximum at 100,000 men, but empowers the President to reduce it one- half in his discretion. This is a sinvular provision. It seems to place the regula- tion of the miiitary in the hands of the President to an ex- tent never contemplated in the constitution. The discretion of a weak President is sure to be the discre- tion of the men who control him, or to whom he is under Obligations for political assistance, campaign contributions, etc. What use such men would make of the army in certain conceivable emergencies nobody knows, but experience of this and other governments show the danger of letting the army fallijato the control of class. And it is no answer to say that this vice can be cured by subsequent legislation. The bill once a law, its repeal or amendment will be very difficult if it contains provisicns which are likely to be helpful to special interests. The number of soldiers should be fixed+by Congress. It is @ legislative duty. To refers it to executive discretion is to Gelegute a power to another department and decline a duty Whieh the Legisiature only should discharge. Spiin is now friendly to Great Britain and she may before long see something in ourselves to love. seleiiiitaiiinlial mane >= = = rr _—_— SECRETARY WILSON’S ANNOUNCEMENT. Gen. Miles and the scores of army officers and privates who have asserted that beef supplied in the Cuban campaign was bad are to be “discredited’’ by Agricultural Secretary Wilson and his 100 meat Inspectora. The Agricultural Department publishes ponderous annual volumes, containing colored diagrams on meat and its diseases. The ‘nan who works the test tubes and other apparatus from Which these diagrams are made is Chemist Wiley. It is Chemist Wiley s scientific opinions that rule the Agricultural Department, and presumably the 100 meat inspectors, on the meat question. In S:ovember last, before the embalmed beef scandal at- taine'l its present proportions, Chemist Wiley made a public Statement that the proper time to eat meat is when it is thor- Oughiy “ripe.” He went so far as to assert that fowls are not fit tor food till their heads have rotted off. Chemist Wiley is a scientist. The 100 meat inspectors might be called sub-ecientists. Their knowledge is supposed to be of a semi-scientific character. And of course the views of Scientist Wiley will largely color their views. How much “ripe” meat do these 100 inspectors allow to pass every year’ How much “ripe” beef did they pass upon for the army contractors? ¥ _If they share Chemist Wiley's views, the presence of many tons of “ripe” beef on government transports and in soldiers’ mess tins is easily explained. _ +0 Relieving Gen. Miles would not relieve the War Department from the charges he has made against it. ——___—_-___# CHINA’S CHEAP MEN. The United States Consul-General in China says that labor Saving machines are not wanted there: that the coolles carry dirt in baskets« at ten cents a day, and that there are plenty More to fill their places at thc same wages. But tf labor saving machinery were introduced, it would be in order to run new and vast industries, of which China now Knows nothing. UL would be to construct railw ays in all direc- tions, smelt and work iron, weave, print and manufacture, al] 44 .ne modern si vie. This would inevitably result in the awakening of China. The people inere would acquire new habits and desires. Wages would go up, because much of the new labor would be skilled. The people would travel more, wear better clothes. eat better food, and in general live on a higher plane than they do now. Whatever result the introduction of machinery into China Might have on the rest of the world, it cannot be doubted that in opposing th's innovation the Chinese are standing in their own light. = = ' The Southern vegetable is greatiy in evidence in the mar- Kets, Every winter strengthens the ties of North and South. 4 -- = TROLLEYS TO THE FYRAMIDS.

Con.menting on the revelations concerning the Excise Com- missioncr’s income the local Republican morning organ prac- tically charges Gov. Stephens with responsibility for the ex- cessive compensation paid the Excise Commissioner under the present fee system. It refers sarcastically to his ‘gigantic ideas of an excise commissioner's pay.” If the local Republican morning organ cannot be fair it should at least pay some attention to historical accuracy. It ought to know that Goy. Stephens found the Excise Commis- sioner’s office cstablished, with the fee system paying the Excise Commissioner between $25,000 and $30,000 a year, when he was elected Governor. More than this the 1. r. m. o. ought to know that so far from approving the exorbitant pay of the I2xcise Commissioner and Coal Oil Inspector the Governor two years ago, just after his election, sent a special message to the Legisiature in which he condemned the system which paid the Excise Commissioner more than all the State officers put together and recommended the substitution of salaries of $3000 or less, for fees in the fee offices of St. Louis. There ig still another reason why the 1. r. m. o. should pay attention to history in connection with the office. of Excise Commissioner in this city. The office would not have been established if Mayor Ziegenhein as Collector of the Revenue had not failed to collect saloon licenses and permitted so many scandalous abuses to creep into his saleon license department that a change of methods was imperative. It would be well also to bear in mind that despite the enormous sum paid the Excise Commissioner, the city and State have gained hun- dreds of thousands of dollars by the change. The Post-Dispatch has felt bound to criticise some of Gov. Stephens’ actions, but we believe in fairness. He must be credited with the disapproval of the fee grab offices and with a commendable attitude towards the Senate investigation. Police Captain Reynolds has been on the police force for 26 years. Yet in his testimony before the Major Committee he states thatif he saw a woman enter a wineroom he “wouldn’t think anything about it” and that he doesn’t know that wine- rooms encouraze women to lead {mmoral lives. What would be thought of a candidate for a position on the police force who should make such admissions on being examined? Would he not be promptly rejected by any competent examining board? If men geworn to enforce the law know, or pretend to know, so little about the conditions that encourage lawbreak- ing, are they to be considered fit for their official positions? os. Now that the Major Committee fs turning up some un- pleasant information about a Democratic office the local Re- publican organs have discovered that testimony elicited by the committee is worthy of credence and that the facts it uncovers mean something. They find also that a Democratic misde- meaner is more heinous than a Republican crime. Organ journalism is a pitiable thing. De. och dee ~~ FF FF The evidence before the Major Committee has made the wine- room evil conspicuous and has shown clearly the vicious in- fluen:es of such 1esorts.

Mrs. Cramer had gone out calling and Su- sie was doing two things at once. She was reading for the twentieth time a declara- tion of love she had received that morning and dusting a marble-top table that stood in the center of the room. An ominous erash which followed an unlucky whisk of her duster caused her to drop both the broom and the letter and exclaim: “My goodness!” On the carpet lay young w.dow, the fragments of a costly porcelain cup, a valued gift of the —_e—o— @—_o—_o—_ o_o —_ 0 -o— 0 #--o—@ dear departed!

The innocent and unsuspecting neighbor who chanced to be stooping out of sigh digging weeds in the milst of the shrub- bery, startled by the sound of what might be some meteoric body whizzing past in dangerous proximity to his head, raised himself just in time to catch a glimpse of the widow's receding figure.

TS _ The newe that Dan Honig, the 8t. Louis turfman, was lying dangerously ill at Ban Francisco created considerable comment in local turf circles during the week. - At one time Dan was reported as dying of paralysis, To secure reliable information as to®his actual condition a telegram was sent Joseph A. Murphy, secretary of the St. Louls Fair Grounds, who is at San Fran- cisco acting as presiding judge at the Oak- land track. In response to this telegram Mr. eetpey sends the following to the Post-Dispatecn: Oakland Cal. Feb. 3.—Parly last week Dan Honig was taken ill and it was reported that he had a paralgtic stroke. The physicians pronounced hie atiment spinal meningitis... He was dangerously ill for several days.

Turfmen have had ample food for thought, however, in the discussion of Handicapper Vossburg’s assignment of weights for the Brooklyn and Suburban, The general feeling is that the weights are fair and impartial, and the Western horses have been treated justly. On her Western performances, perhaps, Imp is a little light, but her races in the East did not show she was entitled to more, The Tennessee Derby candidates are dis- cussed with much interest, and Mr. E, F. Simms’ recent visit keeps the argument at fever heat. Simms let it be known that Next Saturday night the big twelve-hour go-as-you-please race will take place in New York. The men who are to take part in it are already hard at work getting in shape and there are lively times around Grand Cen- tral Palace in which the race is to take place. The entry list for the half-day contests is an excellent one. Not only the best professionals in the East will compete, but many well-known athletes who have not as yet lost their amateur standing. One of the latest entries received is that of John A. Glick of Philadelphia. He has a record of 532 miles in 142 hours and 335 miles in 72 hours. He won the last half- day contest held in this country, which took place at Allegheny, Pa. Frank Dayton, now leading man with the “In Old Kentucky” company which is Playing at Havlin’s this week, thinks Jim Jeffries, the California pugilist, is the com- ing heavyweight champion. Mr. Dayton is one of the best amateur boxers in America. He has had on the gloves with Corbett, has seen all the big fellows, and fo his opinion as to Jeffries’ chances should be of considerable weight. He said on Saturday morning: Jeffries the coming champion, “I make this statement because by per- sonal observation of his work I was greatly impressed with him. 2 “I eaw Jeffries while he was at work at “T regard | Oakland last winter. a ———— TRAINING FOR THE 12-HOUR WALKING wey . !

One of the telegraph rooms adjourns the Senate chamber, and the Senator imagined he could see light filtering through the wall. The Senator repaired to the telegraph room and demanded of the operator to be shown ‘that hole in the wall.” The operator was nonplussed, but at last divined the Sena- tor’s meaning and invited him to look for himself. The Senator accepted the invita- tion and spent several minutes ecrutining- ing the wall. He found no hole and went away more mystified that he was beforc. The subject was broached in the executive session Friday. Senator Davisson told of his experience, but the Senators were still un- satisfied, and several of them examined the walls and doors to see if there were any cracks or ‘holes through which their weighty secrets could leak to the outside world. They were a gocd deal crestfallen when their search ended in failure, for it was then May - to them.’ They went back and talked long and virtuouslv about thelr pledge of secrecy and how they had never violated it and how naughty any member would be who would violate it. There was some talk that the Senate was considering the advisability of calling the newspaper men before it and demanding to know who gave them ther information. There is small chance of any such action being taken. As a Senator remarked, some newspaper man might be mean enough to tell. This Senate is not unique in its spasm of anxiety about the betrayal of its execu. tive session secrets. Every other Senate has suffered fn the same way. Many Senators say they would be glad if the execulive sessiong were abolished. It may be abolished merely by a vote of a majority of the Senators. But there fs not a man among them who would vote against the secret sessions. The brief respite they get from the prying eyes and ears of the press and public are dear to them. In an executive session a Senator may say exactly what he pleases and about whomsoever he pleases. It gives him a chance to blow off steam, get rid of what venom there may be in his make-up and speak hig mind about men and measures. His words are never quoted exactly, there is no record of them and thev can never haunt him. LOOKS LIE MKINLEY — Rochester, N. Y. DENTISTS. TEETH EXTRACTED WITHOUT PAIN. No Pain. No Cas.

Sailor Receives Answer in Relation to a Fight Which He Did Not Like. There are many stories going the rounds just at present about Tom Sharkey, but “Kid McCoy tells one on the sailor that is new. “When Sharkey and Maher were matched to fight about a year ago the sallor went to train with a countryman of his at New Dorp, 8. I., and, as jis customary around New York with a certain class of people, the household is not complete without the roverbial ‘goat,’ and, as expected, Shar- ey’s friend at New Dorp was the proud possessor of as fine a specimen of the tribe of ‘Sir Willlam’ aa one would wish to meet. “Shi ad been training a week or so enon eae Grende came to visit him.

The star feature of the evening’s sport will be the 15-round go between Eddie Lally of St. Louis and Billy Lambert of London, England. Lambert fought a dmw in Bngland with Dick Burge, Jack Me- Auliffe’s old opponent, and in his only mill here he easily defeated Jack Morris before the Cross Country Club. This Saturday night in Lally, Lambert will meet the best of the local lightweights and his real skill as a boxer will be tested. The curtain raiser to-night will be furnished by Frank Gabrilliac and Spider Kelly, who will go six rounds. The fun will commence at 8:15 and Prof. Mooney will officiate as referee and master of ceremonies, The 15-round go that was to have taken place at Hot Springs on Friday afternoon between Joe Frede of St. Louis and Jimmy Murray of Cincinnat! has been postponed for the reason that the bout was to have taken place outdoors and that the tncle- ment weather of Friday prevented such a thing. The next big event in the boxing world will be the bout between Gua Ruhilin and Joe Goddard, which will take place jin Chi- cago on Feb, 13.

Senator Ross of Vermont, he of the Pef- ferian whiskers, is a busy man these days. He is studying parliamentary law and pro- cedure. Hach afternoon the new Senator delves down in his desk and brings out the little clothbound manual of Congress and studies it religiously for an hour or so. The hubbub of debate and the foghorn voice of the reading clerk do not disturb him, and he goes ahead with his reading as though he were in hig country home in Montpellier. Simon Is a Letter Writer. Senator Simon, the new man from Ore- gon, devotes a great part of his time to writing letters. No matter how often one looks down from the gallery he can be seen humped over his desk, scribbling away like a ledger clerk working for higher wages. It is said that the Senator has written to nearly every friend and acquaintance in his State since he was sworn in as Sena- tor. The Latest Pipe Story. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

It was nearly 9 o'clock at night when the chance came. The nurse left the ward some other duties and the mations anus tiously crept from the room and thro h the corridors. If any one saw they not offer to stop her. She went to the front door and when the cold biasts without etruck her and chilled her ahe — | drew her light clothing more c and hurried ~— from the place that had sheltered her. and where she thought those who had ever car me titer nares, ed for her were now plot but before she hospital dea'h re- down near the gero mark and the w blowing from the north, the wonder is that the poor, weak old woman's tottering at could have carried her as far as they All night she crept through streets an alleys. Benumbed as she was, her Was more tortured by the phantoms !{t had conjured up than wag her y by the in- somee cold, out 5 o’clock her strength gave way. She saw a dita light shining from a win- dow. There was a gate open and a granit- oid walk leading up to the house. he old woman crept up the walk and threw her- self on the door steps. Her distressed roans were heard and relief came to her, ut too late. The house was 2511 Sublette avenue where August Uthoff lives. Mr. Uthof? opened the door and saw the bent form of a woman, crouching on the steps. He stepped closer and saw that her eyes were closed. There wag still breath in the body and faint groans came from between the thin and parted lips, Mr. Uthoff picked the old woman up fn his arms and carried her in by the fire. He applied such restoratives as he had at hand. They had elight effect. er groans became more feeble and there was no si of returning consciousness. He knew by her garb that she had escaped from the Female Hospital. He saw that she was so badly frozen that only the most herole treatment could save her. He called Patrolman Miller who summoned an ambu- lance. On the way to the hoepital the old woman dled. Della Kelley lived at 2615 Market street before she was sent to the hospital.

SATURDAY~ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—FEBRUARY 4, 1899 - — IT MUSCLE MAJORITY OF HARVARD GRADU- ATES OF SOUND PHYSIQUE. BUT SPORT MAY BE OVERDONE. —_— ifen Whe Excel in Highly Competitive Contests No Better Soldiers Than Are Others. _——e CAMBRIDGE, Miss., Feb. 4.~The annual reports of the President and Treasurer of Hiarvard College to the Board of Overseers has been published. As usual, President Eliot’s comments on the record of the past year and his suggestions for the future con- tain many features of general interest. He sums up the record of Harvard enlistments in the war with Spa'n, which, according to the lateet returns. number about 400, and concludes as follows: “The effort of the President and Deans | Was to prevent hasty and inconsiderate en- listments. but not to discourage tHe enlist- ment of able-bodied young men of legal age, Whose family circumstances warranted “them to offer their lives to the country. So long as there are wars it will be exped.ent, especially in democracies. that the best ed- ucated young men bear their full shares in War's hardships and dangers, The highly educated class must skow itself as brave, tough and disinterested as any other, and as faithful to ideals. If its education has been fo it will show itseif superior in these respects to everv other clase.’ Pre sk lent Eliot refutes the popular idea that high scholars are usually men of poor physique by a table showing that whereas &? per cent of the whole number of students peas the phys.c al examination satisfactori- ly, this is done by SS per cent of the schol- arship winners. The President has leoked into the claim that the highly competitive athletic sports are especiailiv useful in de- veloping the qualities of a soldier, and has decided againet it, supporting his opinion by showing the small percentage of ath- letes among Harvard volunteers in the late war. Speaking of intercollegiate athletic con- testa. Pres. dent Kliot rem: arks that progress has been made in intelligent management, and that evils.of excessive training, though etill manifest, are lessened. He deprecates the intercollegiate freshman contests, and gives data showing the poor scholarship of men on freshman football teams. ‘‘Agree- able local competitions” is the substitute he would recommend for excessive intercolle- _giate competitions The question of shortening the college course to three vears is again brought up, and the plan supported by figures showing a large number cf men wha even now com- ylete all or nearly all of the requirements or the bachelor degree in three years. In reviewing the work of the d:fferent de- partments of the universitv. President Eliot mentions the embarrassment felt on all sides owing to the low rate of interest ac- cruing from the several endowment funds. Among the more pressing needs of the uni- versity are mentioned those of a new reci- tation hall for some of the departments, a building for the architectural department, a furnished dormitorv for short residence — and increased endowments gener- & he Treasurer’s report shows receipte of Ty Sy ad payments, $1,241,399.24; balances, 12 RUNAWAY FROM CARBONDALE.

PWather Tuohy of St. Louis ts as full of Gght as he was when his troubles with Archbishop Kain began. He will not surrender posseesion of the church or residence in St. Lou-s. He will not go into retreat. He will appeal his ecclesiastical troubles to the Propaganda at Rome and will con- test the civil suits before Missouri's high- est courts.

If he were free from them he wouid be less bellicose.” | wanted to let the world know that 1 was a man of mv own mind, s9 when the notification came I acknow.edged it promptly, and said in effect: ‘Whiie ail proceed.ngs should be conducted by my ad- vocate, for fear there may be delays in the mails between New York, Jackson, Tenn., and Washington, I not.fy you that an ap- peal will be taken, and preparation of the Papers therefor will begin immediately.’ ”’ he Rev. William Walsh of Jackson, Tenn., is Father Tuohy's advocate. “Father Tuohy is not worrying. He is mept fairly busy, preaching a sermon or delivering a lecture here and there. His health is superb and his grit monumental. So wires the correspondent. In talking with the Post-Dispatch corre- @pondent Father Tuohy cited the tiree great cases in the American Catholic Church where fights over possession of church roperty had been waged between Arch- ishops and priests, pending decision by the higher church authorities. Dr. Glynn was ordered to surrender pos- gession of his church property. He did so and never regained the same. Father Ducey of St. Leo’s tn New York Was served with like notice. He declined to vacate. His three lay trustees (in the absence of their technical title) supported him and the would-be usurper was routed, boots and bridal. That was 10 years ago and Father Ducey still has his church. he most remarkable case was in South- western Nebraska. A little French priest there Came within an ace of killing Bishop Bonacum and the priest who was to take charge. That night the Bishop had to eleep in the railway depot as neither the priest nox any person in the little village would give or sell him hospitality. ‘inat was two years ago. His case is still pend- ing, but he has his church. Bishop Bona- cum and the new priest reached the Ne- braska town while the Frenchman was ab- sent from home. When he returned his effects were in the outhouse and his house- keeper told him who had moved them. Im- mediately he put them into the residence again nh a short while the Bishop and the new priest returred. The Frenchtnan declined to admit them. Bishop Bonacum threatened to burst in the door. ‘I'he Frenchman then capitulated, but only to the extent of turning the key.

The Frenchman begged him to quit the place. “I am armed,” said he, “and am ready to die in defense of my home, but for God's eake don’t force me too far." The Bishop’ saw his duty and the gun too, about that time and discreetly with: drew. Quickly news of the affair spread. The Frenchman was popular and ol anew were closed to the Bishop. He took refuge in the railway station and caught the first train out of the village when morning was almost at hand The Frenchman is interested in Father Tuohy's case. Lectured About Dr. Holmes. Mr. A. R. Morgan delivered a lecture “Oliver Wendell Holmes” Saturday morn ing before the American literary section of the St. Louls Society of Roleaway. He characterized Holmes as the bitter-sweet of American poets.

FOOTPADS AND BURGLARS IN THE WEST END. A SHOEMAKER’S ADVENTURE. John Schmitkonz Robbed by Three Men, Who Beat Him After Tak- ing His Watch and Money. John Schmitkonz, a shoemaker, left his shop, 3555 Olive street, in the evening about 8 o’clock and started home, He was stopped by three men as he turned west on Lindell avenue from Grand. The footpads had been lurking in the shadow of a building. Presenting pistols they demai1ded his valuables. While one kept watch and another held the weapon in close to Schmithonz’s head, the third re- lieved the shoemaker of his gold watch and about 92 in change, overlooking $80, which he carried in his inside pocket. Then, without provocation, the three set upon the shoemaker and beat him, after which they ran away. Their victim went into the drugstore on the corner, and after satisfying himself that he was not seriously hurt reported the matter to the police. In accordauce with Chief Campbell's policy the police suppressed the report of the nye oY and in accordance with their custom failed to catch the robbers. A prominent member of the Cross Coun- try Club was walking up Pine street about 9 o’clock Friday night. He was halted by two men at the intersection of Theresa avenus. One of them presented a pistol at his head and the other searched him. The foot-pads got only a few cents. The vic- tim told several of his fellow-members of the occurrence and it is their intention hereafter to carry weapons after dark and give a warm reception to the man who at- tempts to hold them up. Several other robberies of similar nature have been committed in this district re- cently in which the victim lost sums from 50 cents to $10, some of which were, and others were not, reported to the police. Burglaries on Delmar and Washington boulevard have been frequent lately. As a result of all this lawlessness householders keep firearms close at hand? They are de- termined to give themselves the protection Chief Campbell and his men cannot or will not give them. WORLD’S FAIR PROGRESS. Organization Rapidly Approaching the Active Stage. The Committee on Organization of the Loultsiana Purchase Exposition Association at its approaching meeting will. make ar- rangements by which funds for preliminary work will be assured. It is stated that the intention is to raise not less than. $200,000 for the purpose. It is announced that the Organization Committee is to be increased from 10 to 20 and that there have already been added to it the names of Col. M. C. Wetmore, 8. M. Kennard, D. B. Robinson and Robert S. Brookings. Subcommittees will be organized to place the World’s Fair project before the Legis- latures of the various States and Territories of the purchase The latest indorsements of the Fair come from the American Institute of Architects and the Carondelet Improvement | As- sociation, both of which promise their support. NEARLY SUFFOCATED BY GAS. Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Had a Narrow Escape From Death. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Emanuel of 3617 Garfield avenue are slowly recovering from the effects of an exyerience which nearly cost them their lives. Dr. Kiein of 1921 North Grand avenue gaid Saturday morn- ing that they would be able to be up and about in a few days. Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel came near being asphyxiated by escaping gas while asleep. Their room is heated by a small gas stove connected with the fixture by a rubber tube. About 2 o'clock in the morn.ng Mr. Emanu- el discovered the gas was escaping. Hs wife was unconscious and he was too weak to move. He called feebly and was heard by his brother, Samuel Moos, who occupies the next room. Moos ran In and opened the windows. Dr. Klein restored the sufferers to consciousness just in time to save their ves. ’ ¥ ; Sen ; “Te peer.

As was told in the late editions of the | Post-Dispatch Friday evening, Mayor Zier genhein receded from his position on the building of a bridge between Eighteenth and Twentieth streets on Clark avenue that he had taken earlier in the day when members of the Clark Avenue Improvement Association called at his office and entered an indignant protest against the failure of the city administration to build the bridge, which is so much needed, The 2 o’clock edition of the Post-Dis- patch contained an account of the visit of the angry citizens to the Mayor’s office Friday morning. It told how the Mayor had endeavored to evade their demands by saying that there was not enough money in the treasury to construct the bridge, and informing them that he had promised to build a new City Hospital and other pub- lic buildings, and that those promises must be kept before the bridge could be buiit. He was rem:nded that it had been decided that the Terminal Association must pay $150,000 to the bridge fund, and that thar amount, with the additional $1000 that had been appropriated by the city, was suffi- cient to complete the bridge. But the May- or simply fell back upon his dignity and said the bridge would not be built. But he changed his mind after the Post- Dispatch had appeared, and, when the com- mittee called on him again in the after- noon, he said he guessed he would build the bridge.

The banquet of the Alumni of the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology at Boston Friday night was atiended by several guests in St. Louts. The St. Louls guests could not go to Bos. ton, but they were determined not to miss the banquet. So they assembled in the ban- quet hall of the Mercantile Club, which had been connected by oe with the ban- quet room in Boston. The same menu that graced the Boston banquet table was pro- vided for the St. Loulsans. The courses were served simultaneously in Boston and St. Louis. The head waiter in the former city gave orders to his subordinates in this city. The banqueters drank the same toasts, laughed at the same jokes and heard the same speeches by the same per- sons, although they were 2000 miles apart. The banquet was also attended by guests in Chicago. Albany, Pittsburg, Philadelphia and New York. The St. Louis banqueters were Frank H. Pond, James Baldwin, Henry H. Sykes, J. S. White, Minard T.

The long fight of the various labor or- ganizations, embracing all the employes of the St. Louis brewery interests, against the Home, National and Columbia breweries, has been adjusted. The breweries have agreed to yield to the demands of the workmen. The trouble between the parties began in 1893, when the brewerles objected to the manner in which men were recommended to them for positions. They asked that only the most competent workmen be re- commended, but the labor organizations would only recommend men in rotation from their list. The breweries rebelled and the union men boycotted them. —, ~ Can Cubans Govern Themselves? One of the best known diplomatists recently de- clared that the Cubans are incapable of govern- Ing themselves, and that the United, States must maintain ite present control indefinitely, or else appex the island.

Until the formation of the United Jewish Charities its work was conducted independently of other charitable societies. Al- though now one of the components of the United Charities, it still maintains a separate organiza- tion. The membership of the Zion Society is now 800, and as the annual dues are $4, its fixed an- nual income is $1200; besides, quite a large sum is rea'ized from the sale of shrouds made by the ladies. These shrouds are made in accordance with customs which have prevailed among Jewish eople for centuries. The charity work done by he ladies of this society has always been of the nature now commonly designated as ‘‘personal] ser- vice,’’ the members visiting the poor, ministering to the sick and supplying the wants of the needy. At the recent fair given by the United Hebrew Charities the Zion Society realized about $6500 from its booths. Mrs. Lewis Godlove is President; Mrs. Lizzie Baum, Vice-President; Mrs. Henry M. Burgheim, Secretary, and Mrs. Morris Sale, Treasurer. In the Board of Directors are Mesdames Jos. Rosen- baum, A. Waldheim, L. Steinberger, L. Lippelt, H. Hirschman, D. Treichlinger, A. Kabn and P.
