ROCKEFELLER MAKES GOOD RUMORED FIGHT T MANILA Insurgénts Said to Have At- tacked Otis. SOME AMERICANS WOUNDED. FIRING BEGAN SATURDAY NIGHT, CONTINUING SUNDAY. — The News Comes From Hong Kong, and Is Not Verified at Washington or Through Any Other Relia- ble or Official Source Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—The World this morning publishes the following cable from Hong Kong, dated Sunday, Feb. 5: There are reports here that there has been a fight at Manila between the Ameri- can forces under Gen. Otis and the Fili- pinos. These reports are to the effect that shortly after dusk last evening (Sunday) the Insurgents began a scattering fire from different points around the city, In some instances driving in the guards. The fir- ing continued throughout the night, so the story goes, at intervals. When daylight of to-day (Sunday) came the engagement became more general, but there is no news up to 3 o'clock to show that the Insurgents are making any head- way, although a doeen or more of the American soldiers who were on duty as outposts are said to have been wounded. Not a word has come to indicate, how- ever, what regiments of the American troops are engaged. The censorship of the cable at Manila is euch that definite news cannot be obtained. There are rumors that the American war- ships are shelling the ranks of the Insur-- @ents and that the loss to the Filipinos has been heavy. No trouble is reported @mong the natives in Manila. It is reasonable to suppose that in case these rumors of battle are true that the American women have been sent on board the ships in the harbor. REPORT UNVERIFIED. Wothing Received Corroborative of the Manila Battle. Special] to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—The story that a fight had taken place at Manila was eet afloat to-night which traveled westward across the continent and gathered in vol- ume as it spread. The Post-Dispatch Bu- reau made every effort to verify it, cabling to Hong-Kong, Manila and London and wiring to Washington, but up to 2 a. m. nothing had been received which verified It. Gen. Wesley Merritt Is stopping at the Waldorf-Astoria, He commanded the American forces at Manila when it was captured, He refused to see reporters when an effort to communicate with him was made shortly midnight. The American forces in the Philippines are under command of Maj. Gen. Elwell S. Otis, who was appointed mi#Mtary Governor of the islands after the surrender of Ma- nila by the Spanish captain general, Lau- denes. NO NEWS AT WASHINGTON. Officials on Duty at White House Have Heard Nothing. Special to the Post-Dispatch. % WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—It ts impossible to secure any information tn Washington to-night concerning the reported fight at Manila. Neither Secretary Alger nor Gen. Corbin is accessible, and none of the offi- clals on duty at the White House this hour of the night have any information concerning the report. THE INSURGENT POSITION. \Aguinaldo’s Forces Occupy the Spanish Trenches at Manila. John Fay, now in Chicago, who was sent to Manila as the corresponent of the Post- Dispatch and New York World after E. Ww. Hardin returned to the United States, writes the following description of the sit- uation there: Gpecial to the Post-Dispatch. Chicago, Feb, 5.—The ol Spanieh trenches around Manila extend from Malabgn on the north to Malate on the south, a distance of 10 miles. The works enclose the city in the form of a crescent, a number of Swamps and the River Pasig breaking the line. When Manila capitulated the insur- Gents marched into the suburbs of Malate, Prnuta, Paco and San Miguel and estab- lished headquarters. In September they were asked to with- Graw to the old Spanish line of defense and after considerable diplomatic corre- spondence, Aguinaldo issued the ordér to withdraw. The active commander of the rebels is Gen. Pilo Pilar, a man very hos- tile to America and Americans. He stub- bornly refused to withdraw and attempted to influence Aguinaldo to countermand ,8e omer, The suburb of Paco, midway be- tween the river and the bay, is the strong- hold of the rebels. The population ts large- made up of Filipinos and it was at that point doubtless the most determined attack was made. Old ‘ GRAND ARMY CHIEF DEAD. Col. James A.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 4.—It is sald that John D. Rockefeller has offered $900,000 in cash to James Corrigan of this city rather than contest the civil suit filed against him by Corrigan. If the compromise is ac- cepted it will probably be the largest sum | ever paid in settlement of a personal civil suit out of court in this country. Corrigan alleges that the Standam Oil magnate took advantage of him and in-. duced him to dispose of 2500 shares of Standard Oil stock, with a loss to him of $1,500,000 as a result of Inability to receive the benefits of dividends and appreciated value of oll. The case has been before ar- bitrators in New York for several days. A number of years ago James and John Corrigan, brothers, conducted a small busi- ness in Cleveland as refiners of oil. The Standard bought their business, partial pay- ment being made in Standard stock. James Corrigan borrowed considerable money from John D. Rockefeller, putting up as_ collateral 2500 shares of Standard Oil stock. Some time afterward when a settlement of the loan was being arranged, Corrigan turned over his stock at 162, this transac- | tion serving, of course, to liquidate the ob- ligation standing against Corrigan. Corrigan later sued Rockefeller, claim- ing that he, as officer of thé company, kept from him knowledge of the enormous dividends about to pe declared. Since the sale dividends of 90 per cent have been pald, and the stock has gone to $450 per share. a - When the Attorney-Gertlieral of Ohio be- gan his investigation of the Standard Oil Co. Mr. Rockefeller, _pivris said, proposed to compromise. =e CHURCH IS MADE A. SALOON, The Chancel Becomes a Bar and a Stage Takes the Place of the Altar. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

The First German Methodist Church was established half a century ago. It adjoins his brewery, and has for a long time been greatly desired by the brewer, so he paid a handsome price for it, and the con- gregation moved into another home. The building is now being transformed into a é6aloon. In the basement, where Sunday-schoo] was formerly held, a beer vault will be es- tablished, the old chancel belng used as the bar. In the auditorium of the church proper a banquet hall is being fitted out, and where the altar was there is now being erected a stage for the entertainment of the guests who may meet there. The beer vault will be fitted out In old Teutonian style with historic battle axes and furs for decorations. The whole build- ing will be made as unique as possible, and will be remodeled at big expense. The church spire will be transformed into an observatory. RIOT IN AN IOWA COURTROOM. Two Men Were Fatally and Six Seri- ously Injured in a Fight at Webster City. CHICAGO, Feb. 4—A Webster City (Io.) special says that a pitched battle occurred to-day in Justics Smith’s court room in Drew, Wright County, resulting in two men, Charles Hall and Fred Bartfield, be- ing fatally wounded, another being shot through the arm and five others injured by blows from pokers, clubs and chairs.

PRIVATE MEETING LAST NIGHT. ‘COMPANY WILL BE INCORPORAT- ED BY ACT OF CONGRESS. President McKinley and Speaker Reed Give Assurance of Support of an Appropriation for the Great Show. / | Ex-Gov. D. R. Francis brought back with him from Washington assurances that President McKinley and Speaker Reed will do all in their power to make a success of the Louisiana Purchase Centennial World's Fair in St. Louis in 1908. | This effective work in Washington by | Chairman Francis, Breckinridge Jones, R. C. Kerens and Charles W. Knapp laid the subject before the President and Speaker, and on Feb. 18 at the Arlington Hotel at Washington there will be a banquet for all Senators and Representatives from the States comprising the Louisiana, Purchase. This will start the Congressional enthu- ,Siasm, is thought. Congressman Pearce is going ahead with the plans. A meeting of the original World’s Fair |° Committee of Fifty was held last night at the residence of Chairman Francis at Mary- land and Newstead avenues, It is said the only business discussed at the meeting after Gov. Francis and Mr. Jones had made verbal reports of their trip, was the increase of the membership of the general committee from 50 to 20. It is understood that Mr. C. Wetmore, 8S. M. Kennard, D. B. Robinson and Robert Brookings will at once be added to the Committee on Organization. Chairman Francis arrived in St. Louis just In time to be present at the meeting. trip to New York and Washington, spread- ing World’s Fair sentiment and transacting some private business while in Wall street. “The people of the East are manifesting great interest in our World’s Fair pro- ject,”” said he. “They are expecting St. Louls to give the world an unparalleled celebration and they say they are willing to help the Loulsiana Purchase Exposition in a subdstantial manner. The meetings of the sub-committee on organization in New York and Washington served to convince the business men of those cities that we are in earnest. “Our interview with President McKinley wes eminently satisfactory. He assured us ,of his sympathy with our plans and prom- ised to use his influence to make them a success. We also talked with many mem- bers of Congress and they assured us of their hearty indorsement of the Loul!siana Purchase celebration. “T return to St. Louis more firmly con- vinced than ever that we will h®ve the World’s Fair and that it will be a mag nificent success,”’ President McKinley’s words wee: ‘You people of the West are all in favor of territorial expansion, and the proposed celebration of our greatest acquisition of territory is most befitting and proper. I wisb you all succéss.”’ “The question is, Mr. President,” said Gov. Francis, “will you give us your assist- ance in securing an appropriation from Congress?” “T will do all I can,” was the President's reply. This was entirely satisfactory. The dele- gation then through Mr. Joy’s influence secured the room of the Committee on Accounts, and immediately a meeting of all Representatives of Missouri In Congress was called. All the members, with the ex- ception of Senator Vest and Congressman Bartholdt, both of whom are ill, responded. Gov. Francie detailed al] that had been done. His opinion was that a company should be incorporated with a capital of $5,000,000, paid up in cash. The next step would be to secure authority for the State Legislature to increase the debt of St. Louis $5,000,000. The sum of $10,000,000 having been secured, he proposed that Congress be asked for an appropriation of $5,000,000 as a loan. Gov. Francis asked the members’ views as to the feasibility of getting any legisla- tion through Congress at present. Senator Cockrell thought it would be unwise to ask anything at this session, and the members agreed with him. All Congressmen were of the enfaton, however, that there would be no difficulty in securing the appropria- tion from the next Congress. Mr. Kerens suggested that the “St. Louis World’s Fair Company for the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Louisiana purchase,”’ be incorporated under ¢he laws of Congress instead of the State. The sug- gestion was adopted. Mr. Kerens gave it as his opinion that the best method of procedure would be to set about raising the $10,000,000 to be raised apart from Congressional aid, and in every way to push the enterprise along so that when the delegation came to Congress with its proposition the enterprise would have a solid standing. This suggestion also was approved. —_——_—————— JEWELERS ENTHUSIASTIO. They Will Work for a Display of Rich Goods and Gems. The jewelers of St. Louls and Missouri have decided to take active steps to secure adequate representation at the Louisiana Purchase World's Fair and to interest the craft and dealers all over the country. It is proposed to issue circular letters at once, so that intending exhibitors shall have am- ple time to get ready. The Retall Jewelers’ Association of Mis- sourit at its annual meeting last week enthualastically endorsed a_i resolution agreeing to take a most active part in se- curing a display of the watch, clock, jew- elry and silverware trades and of precious | stones and kindred wares.

WILMINGTON, O., Feb. 4—One of the most unusual and pitiable scenes ever wit- nessed in the courtroom occurred when George F. Savage, a young man from Bien- chester, this county, was carried into the hall of justice on a stretcher to give his testimony and be in attendance in a suit in which he ie the plaintiff against the Balti- more & Ohio Southwestern Railway Com- pany for $3,000 damages for injuries re- ceived while in the employ of the com- pany. He waa injured while endeavoring to make a fiying switch. He was struck in the middle of the back by the car. When help reached him it was thought he was dying. An examination revealed the fact that seven sections of the spinal column were dislocated. The surgeons said that he would live only a few hours. His body and lower extremities from the injury downward at once became paralyzed. Contrary to all the medical theories, he began to recover from his injuries, and within three months he was removed to the house of his parents. Though bed- ridden, he has enjoyed exceptionally good health for one in his condition, His mind is clear and he hase full control of his arms, head and body above the injury, and ap- parently suffers no pain. “He cannot sit up, but assists those caring for him in being moved, CONTRACTS WORTH $6,000,000 The Carnegie Company Makes Steel Car Building an Important Branch of Business. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, Pa., Feb. 4—The Carnegie Steel Co. has booked contracts for steel freight cars amounting to about $6,000,(. One order from the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- road yesterday was for 2,000 steel hopper and gondola cars. The Baltimore & Ohio contract is worth almost $2,000,000. The orders show the remarkable change from wood to the metal car as a freight carrier. That the day of the wooden car is passing railroad men say is evident from the action of the leading trunk lines in specifying that all new hopper. gondola and fiat cars for mineral] traffic shall be of steel construction. The Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Illinois lines have been the first to adopt the steel car for coal and ore. The new industry is so promising that the Carneg‘e Co. has decided to make steel car building one of the principal branches of its business, and will invest millions in additional steel works, rolling mills and shops. The demand for the steel cars is such that orders have been given to the Carnegie Co. before its plant is in opera- tion. SHAKSPEARE SR, A GENIUS. Great Dramatist’s Father Was the First Ale Expert in Merrie Old England. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Feb. 4.—Great interest has been evoked here by the discovery that Shak- speare’s father was the first English public analyst, or “‘ale conner.’”’ His duty was to discovery adulterated ale, which avocation he pursued by means of a pair of leather breeches. When he visited an ale house he ordered a pot of ale, which he spilt upon the table. Then he donned his leather breeches and sat in the liquor. If on rising his breeches stuck to the table the ale was adjudged adulterated. The extent of the adulteration was gauged by ‘the adhesiveness of the liquor, NEW MAINE'S KEEL READY.

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE MAT- TER MAY BE DROPPED. ‘Friends of the Administration Counsel] This Course, Fearing That Public Opinion and the Facts Sus- tain the General. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Secretary Al- ger’s scheme to oust Gen. Miles without ' giving him a chance to be heard has failed, 'much to the chagrin of that official. /got no encouragement in the Cabinet and He now friends of the administration are warning the President that it will inten- sify the scandal to take official action rath- er than put an end to it. | The President is greatly influenced by public sentiment, and if he finds his con- templated action will be unpopular it would not be surprising if the: matter should be dropped. The politiciane of the administration see danger in any interference with the Com- : manding General at this time. So positive was Secretary Alger that the Commanding General was to be summarily forced out of his position, he grew elated, and, it is charged, he is responsible for the published statements that the General was to be deposed. If he was not he had every opportunity for denying them, but when asked the pointed question whether there was any truth in the rumors he declined to answer. The question Is now asked: “If it is de- veloped that Gen. Miles is absolutely in the right in his efforts to ascertain the nature of rations furnished the army will the Secretary of War be removed for en- deavoring to prevent the Commanding Gen- eral from performing his duty to the sol- diers under his command. As the contemplated inquiry is viewed by the public here, there can be but one out: come—either Secretary Alger or Gen. Miles must go, for one or the other is in the right. As it stands to-day, Gen. Miles has the ad- vantage, for if any action is taken without recourse to proper military usages he can demand a court of inquiry that will de- velop the facts, and if it Is established that he has been unjustly interfered with he will have the approval of the public and might become a dangercus power in the political field. Inspector General Breckinridge’s report will either confirm or refute the charges made by Gen. Miles, and will be accepted by military men of far more value than the report of the War Investigation Com- mission, for it goes deep into the subject. and is being made by sworn officers, who are without bias. Gen. Miles ordered the meat investigation in the regular manner— through Adjutant-General Corbin’s office. There was nothing secret about it. Secre- tary Alger was fully advised of the con- templated action, The papers in the Eagan case are still with the Pres‘dent. There is much to Indicate that the Pres. ident will modify the geentence of dismissal! to one of suspension, probably to a date just before his retirement in 193. This would permit the deposed Comm'ssary Gen- eral to go on the retired list and receive the pay due his rank. Great pressure has been brought to bear upon the President to deal leniently with Gefh. Eagan, and ‘it is believed that he will yield. CHOSE DEATH TO DIVORCE.

Mrs. F. M. McVean, 4015 Cook ave- nue, received anonymous letters for two years, and two weeks ago & box of poisoned candy. The police claim Mrs. McVean has sent herself all those documents. Their only proof is the statement of a salesgirl, who says Mrs. Mc- Vean bought a box of candy from her. Mrs. McVean and her sister say Mrs. McVean has been an invalid and in bed for nearly a year, dur- ing which time the letters have been coming. Mrs. Megraw, the sister, says she has opened al) the letters for a year and her sister has not seen them. The police yesterday announced that a box containing poisoned candy, addressed ‘to Mrs. i'nue, had been sent through the mails. The F. M. McVean of 4015 Cook ave- box was turned over to Chief of Detec- tives Desmond, unopened. It was handed eted with Chief of Detectives Desmon& | They were summoned because of a state- ment by Mrs. McVean that she believed Miss Zoe Graham mailed the package df poisoned candy.

There is still no evidence that any one person who has figured In the investigation — mailed the package. On one point the police and Mrs, Me 2 Vean are of one mind. This is that the address on the box of candy was written — by the same hand that penned anonymous letters which have been sent to Mrs, Me- ~ Vean and to Dr. Glasgow during the last — two years.

McVean is apparently little over 30. She is a remarkably handsome woman of brunette type. Her hair is dark brown and combed back In a pompa- dour from a high, but well-rounded forehead. Her eyes are liquid brown, steady and deep, a fitting complement to an unusually mobile face. Her nose is long, but not out of proportion with her oval face. Her mouth is facile and expressive, Her teeth are white and even. Her chin is well rounded and even a deeper pink than the natural healthy color of her face. Nothing about her suggests the invalid, Her flow of language is a striking characteristic. She is never at a loss for a word, and there is refinement in her voice and manner of expression. aie to City Chemist Teichman, who analyzed it and reported that it contained enough arsenic to kill several persons. After a searching investigation following this report the police department made the matter public and advanced the theory ‘that Mra. McVean had mailed the candy | herself—a theory that is ridiculed by Mrs. McVean, who vigorously denies the police allegation. This theory was founded on the identi- fication of Mra. McVean by Miss Eleanor Henley, a clerk in the Busy Bee candy store, where the sweets were bought. Mrs. McVean and her relatives state em. phatically that a serious error of judg- ment has been made and that Miss Heniey was mistaken in her identification. They deny indignantly that the theory of the police has foundation in fact, and say that unless Mrs. MeVea&n's connection with the case is placed in what they believe to be the proper light, the civil courts will be appeaied to for relief.

It too had been sent to the Finney avenue house and forwarded. The address was printed on the box with a lead pencil. All of the letters received had been in similar printed characters. The wrapper of the box contained the words, “From the Busy Bee Candy Store.” Mrs. Megraw says she did mot open the box, but took it to Chief of Detectives Desmond just as she received it. It was found to contain candied cherries, After some of the cherries had beer an- alyzed an examination of the others showed that in all probability the arsenio had been injected into the cherries with a hypodermic syringe. A curious feature of the case is that some of Mrs. McVean's friends believe it " may ultimately be found to have some con- nection with a tragedy which occured six years ago. Dr. F. M. McVean was then a practicing physician in St. Louls. He had as a pa- tient a young woman named Ethel 6&i- mons, who lived at 224 Washington ave- nue. McVean was then unmarried. The Simons girl became infatuated with him. One day she _ took poison. A note she Jeft stated that she had taken her life because her “Fred’’ loved another and did not reciprocate her affection. An autopsy showed that she had taken arsenic and the Coroner's jury returned a verdict of suicide. Dr. McVean was one of the principal witnesses at the inquest, Less than a year afterward he married Miss Megraw. Those who see a connec- tion between the tragedy and recent events believe there might have been some friend of the Simons girl who nourished a hatred for the woman whom Dr. McVean mar- ried. If this theory was suggested to the police they rejected it, for it does not appear that any attempt has been made to connect the anonymous letters and the @ending of the poisoned candy with the suicide of Ethel Simons. Miss Megraw Mrs. McVean’s sister, says she has in mind @ possibie motive which, she believes, will explain the entire case. What,this is she will not say. The day after the suicide of Ethel Si- mons, above referred to, the following ac- fount of the suicide and Dr. McVean’'s re- lation thereto appeared in the Post-Dis- patch: The dead body of Ethel Simons, or Sylvester, the unfortunate girl who took arsenic at her boarding house, 4 Waehington avenue, Thure- day, because her “Fred,'’ Dr. F.

Though Bed-Ridden, the Letters Con- tinued to Come to Her Home. At the home of Mrs. McVean yesterday @fternoon the door was opened by Miss Megraw. She was told that the police had given out a statement that In their belief Mrs. McVean had mailed the package of candy to herself. “Yes,” she eaid, “that is what Chief Des- mond told me this morning. I am surprised that he should have given out such a state- mont. He is taking a grave responsibility on himself. All the charges made against My sister will be refuted at the proper time in court. My sister ia very fl), and has been So for months. Her physician eays she Musat not be seen.” Miss Megraw went upstairs. When she Feturned she said her sister would make & statement. Mrs. McVeanh was in bed. She began to talk as soon as the reporter entered the room. “I am guiltiess and I can prove it,” she sald. “The charge that 1 malied the box of candy is absurd. I havé been practically bed-ridden for nearly a year. I have been out of the house but once since Christmas. that occasion, while in a state of nerv- ous excitement, I left the house without the knowledge of my mother and sister. it was raining hard. I went alone to my husband's grave in Bellefontaine Cemetery. I had been there only a few minutes when ™y sister came to me. She said she had followed me on the advice of Dr. Glaszow, who had reached the house just after I I returned home with my sister. I have been in bed most of the time since then. “Dr. Glasgow has been treating Me s'ncee October. 18%, when he was called in when I hed a nervous epell. I had not known him before that.

I said nothing about these letters, “I was healthy when they began to comé, but I worried over them so much that I became a nervous wreck. I ceased to re ceive the letters a year age. I did net know they were still coming, and my sister was intercepting them. Dr. Glasgow has always treated me as a gentieman should. He did not tell me that he, too, was receiving anonymous letters. Two years ago he had me taken to the Baptist Sanitarium. It was a short time after I left there that the letters began coming. Last summer I went to the Mullanphy Hospital. Dr. lenge treated me there. He knows that I did not write any letters while there. Stihl letters dated while I was there were addressed to both of us.” MISS MEGRAW’S THEORY. She Believes There Is a Conspiracy Against Her Sister. Miss Megraw, who laid the case before the police, indignantly repela the theory that her sister had any connection with the writing of the letters or the mailing of the box of candy. She said: ‘The first intimation I had that these letters were being written was about a year » ne day @ postman left a letter dressei tomy sieter. The address was in me 4 pencil in printed characters. I took the letter to sister and said: ‘Why, Florence, all of your friends can write. From whom can this be?’ “Sister burst into tears and told me ehe had been receiving such letters for a year I read the letter and was greatly shocked. I went to Dr. Glasgow and said: ** *‘Doctor, I have discovered the secret of sister’s nervous condition. He asked me what it was, and I replied: ‘Anonymous letters.’ “He started and told me he too had been getting anonymous letters. He showed me a big batch. They were of the same character and appearance as sister's. Since then he has turned over to me all the letters he has received and I have inter- cepted all of Florence’s. All of them are now’ in the hands of ‘Chief Desmond. a3 § The “$s Porsoriep BOX THAT HELD THE CANDY. (Sketched by a Post-Dispatch Artist at Four Courts.) The candy box as well as the letters were sent ito 443A Finney avenue, which was Mrs. McVean’s residence until a year ago. “There is one young woman who has been questioned by the police whom I suspect. My belief that she wrote the letters was based on the similarity of some things in them to things she had said white visiting here. One coincidence struck me forcibly. She visited Florence one day and spoke in a queer, half sarcastic way of sister’s physical appearance. She commented on her hair and her teeth, and the smallness of her shoes. The very next day an anonymous letter was received containing remarks ibout sister’s hair and teeth, and suggesting that she quit wearing tight 6hoes. “I believe there is a conspiracy against my sister and she is being eacrificed to protect some one who has a great deal of money. This is more than a mere theory of mine. I am in possession of the one fact which will clear up the mystery and Vindicate my sister. What this fact is I will not divulge until the proper time and in court.’ ———— eae « WHAT MRS .GRAHAM SAYS. Surprised at the Summons to the Four Courts—A Denial. Miss Zoe Graham, the young woman who has been mentioned in connection with the case, is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Graham, 3113 West Chestnut street. Chief of Police Campbell and his family live three doors from them. Reporters for the Post-Dispatch called at the Graham home yestefday afternoon. The bell was answered by Miss Zoe Graham, whose identity was not known unt!) later, when her mother appeared. The young wo- man ig a brunette and of prepossessing ap- pearance. She is 22 years old. Said Mrs. Graham: “Our knowledge of this case amounts to practically nothing. Not until yesterday did I learn of the anonymous letters or the mysterious box of sweets sent to Mrs. McVean. duced Mrs. McVean’s card with her street number written wpon it. Miss Henley teid the detectives that Mrs. McVean spoke of one of her friends. Miss Henley knew her. She was to get this friend's address and . mail it to Mrs. Mc Vean. * “Then we sent for Mrs. McVean, We let her know what had discovered. I had Miss Henley here to see her. We placed Miss Henley outside the office at firSti and several women passed in and-out. Miss Henley picked out Mrs. McVean. Then I took the two women into my private office. Miss Henley was question closely in Mrs. McVean’s presence. She was positive she recognized Mrs. McVéan; she identified the box beyond any question; she said the candy was the same kind that she sold Mrs. McVean. “Mrs. MeVean heard al] this, but denied positively that she bought the candy. La- ter on she wanted me to give up the letters and candy, saying she wanted to employ DP.vate detectives. I would not part with t , Saying that I wanted these for evi- dence. : “Later I sent for Mrs. McVean. She was too fll to come, she Dr. Glasgow was at the house at the time and said she was sick. The detective telephoned me. I told him to make an engagement for the fol- lowing day. Keeley returned to the house. The doctor was gone. Mrs. McVean an- swered Keeley’s ring. She was as spry es ever. She ran up several steps and sprang up on a trunk. Keeley said she did not gree sick. “Next day I had Mrs., McVean, her sis- ter, Miss Megraw, and Dr. Glasgow in my office. Miss Megraw was afraid her sister would faint. I saig there was no danger. This fainting bustriess was all foolihness, I said, and if anybody wanted to faint they had to get outside of my office to faint. Mrs. McVean did no euch thing, though her Sister kept talking it all the while. I told Mrs. McVean what I suspected. Then we compared specimens of writing. One let- ter, written to Dr. Glasgow, was in an undisguised hand. She admitted writing it. The writing on the card she gave Miss Hen- ley was in the same hand. Other speci- mens of her writing tallied with it identical- ly in the main characteristics. Dr. Glasgow told me that he believed the woman was a consummate actress. He treated her, he said, for complaints that he knew she did not possess and which ehe declared she did. He never saw her in her true light until that interview in my office. “We are done with the matter. We will turn all the evidence over to the Federal authorities and give them such assistance as they may ask of us.” MISS HENLEY’S IDENTIFICATION. Her Visit to the Four Courts and View of Mrs. McVean. The candy which was poisoned and was mailed to Mrs. McVean Js said by the police to have been sold by Miss Eleanor Henley, a clerk at the Busy Bee candy store on Broadway, near Lucas avenue. Friday, in the presence of Chief Des- mond, Chief Campbell, Dr. Glasgow and Miss Megraw, Miss Henley identified Mrs. McVean as the woman who purchased the candy a month ago. Miss Henley’s positiveness adds mystery to the case. She was first shown a photo- graph of Mrs. McVean, taken nearly five years ago. She said it was the picture of the woman who bought the candy. When Mrs. McVean was brought before her she was even more emphatic in her. identifica- tion. She was then shown a photograph of Miss Graham. She said at first she did not recognize the face. Later in the investiga- tion she was shown the same picture. She scrutinized it closely and said: “That is the picture of a young woman who has frequently come into our store and used the telephone.”’ Miss Graham was summoned to police headquarters Saturday morning and went there accompanied by her mother. She stated positively and repeatedly that she had never been in the Busy Bee candy store. In reference to the purchase of the candy Miss Healey said she remembered it clearly because of her unusual merchant. The woman who bought the candy asked Miss Henley whether she knew a certain person. Miss Henley said she did and the woman gave her a visiting card to be given to that person. Who that person was Miss Henley would not tell even to the police. She pro- duced the card. It was exactly like Mrs. McVean’s visiting card: The address 4015 Cook avenue was written on it in lead pen- cil. Miss Henley says the woman wrote the address while in the store. Chief Desmond had Mrs. McVean write her address in his office Friday. If the address on the card is a forgery it is a remarkably clever one. WHAT DR. GLASGOW SAYS. He Has Received Anonymous Letters for Many Months. Dr. Frank Glasgow, 38384 Washington boulevard, attended Mrs. Florence M. Mec- Vean in a professional capacity for over three years. He said yesterday that he had received numerous anonymous letters, at- tacking Mrs, McVean’s character. Beyond a mere perusal of the communications he paid no attention to them. Discussing the remarkable developments in the case the doctor said: “The whole affair is to me a_ perfect mystery from beginning to end. You ask me for an opinion. I answer that I can- not even suggest one and am completely at seu in the matter. “About a year ago Mrs. Megraw, a sis- ter of Mrs. McVean, came to me and asked if anyone had sent me an anonymous let- ter. “I yeplied in the affirmative, and added that I was in receipt of several episties assuiling her sister's reputation. A clipping from the Post-Dispatcth of this article was enclosed in one of the letters sent Dr. Glasgow and is now with the other documents in the hands of Fostoffice ln- spector Dice, to whom the police refefred the case late yesterday afternoon. “The letters were written in lead pencil, and the words were printed. They were scurrilous and blasphemous. I could not imagine the manner of per- son who could write them. “When shown the letters Miss Megraw “My daughter and I were summoned to Chief Campbell's office. It was hinted, as you are probably aware, that Zoe knew something about the affair. But a short talk with Chiefs Campbell and Desmond goon convinced them otherwise. They de- Olared they were satisfied of Zoe's absolu‘e innocence, Statements to the contrary, I brand as false and those who make them will suffer for their folly.” “Are you acquainted with Mrs. McVean?” Was asked. “Yes; I have known her for 20 yeara, I may add that our relations have always been Pleasant, though not intimate. Mrs, McVean and I were neighbors up io a few years ago.”’ | “Do you know Dr. Glasgow?’ “Slightly; he was in attendance on Zoe during her illness last spring. I do not think he made over five or six Visits to the house. The story is really too absurd to talk about, so far as we are concerned.” BY THE CHIEF OF DETECTIVES.

She was affifcted with neuresthania in a mild form. “The last time I saw her was in May, 1898. How she can figure in this case is inexplicable to me. “Distasteful as this incident is to me, I am glad that the circumstances surround- ing it have become known, and I hope the police will relax no effort to ferret out the guilty parties.’’ ——EE FEDERAL OFFICERS AT WORK. Post Office Inspector Dice Will Inves- tigate Further. Detectives Keeley and Cordell have been in consultation almost daily for the past two weeks with Chief Postoffice Inspector Dice regarding the anonymous letters sent to Mrs. McVean. Mr. Dice put his men at work on the case several months ago when his atten- tion was first directed to the mysterious epistles by Miss Megraw. : He instituted a thorough investigation ‘et the time, but no result came of his eit forts. On this last occasion he detailed two inspectors on the case. Postmaster Baumhoff was also asked to assist. He called at the inspector's office one morning in the early part of last week and was closeted with Mr. Dice for over an hour. When Mr. Baumbhoff emerged from the office he was asked: “What's up?’ and he replied: ‘The matier per- tains to unmailable letters that are being sent to some one in the West End.” He declined to talk further. 2 The following day Detectives Keeley and Cordell passed the entire afternoon with Mr. Dice behind closed doors. When seen by a reporter yesterday after- noon Mr. Dice said: ‘I have heard some- thing of the anonymous letters referred to, but have taken no official action upon em, ay plans will be in better shape Mon- day, when the entire matter will be laid before the United States District Attor- ney. + ETHEL SIMON’S SUICIDE. A Chapter in the oh Mrs. McVean’s Husband. The tragedy six years ago which connect- ed the name of Dr. McVean with that of Ethel Simon or Ethel Sylvester, which was referred to in the introduction of this arti- cla, attracted wide attention at the t.me. Dr. McVean had an office in room 4, Emilie building. Ethel came to 5t. Louis from Dunbar, Wis., in search of employ- ment. She stopped at Mrs, Lillian Earl's boarding house, 2204 Washington avenue. She went to Dr. McVean to be treated for a nervous affection, She wrote affectionate letters to Dr. McVean. She called on him frequently. According to his subsequent statement he told her he did not love her, and had simply taken @ frieidly interest aly days later, on March 31, 1893, Ethel staggered into Dr. McVean’s office. She was slowly dying from poison. Dr. Mc- Vean wae not in his office, She went across the hall to the office of Dr. A. M. Carpenter, where she fell to the floor. She died short- ly after reaching the Dispensary. A note addressed to Dr. Fred McVean, room 29, Emilie building, was found on her. it stated that her “Fred” did not love her and she was tired of life, At the inquest Dr. McVean e6aid: “] last saw the girl yesterday about 10 o'clock in the morning at my office. She appeared more downcast than ever. We had a conversation in which I told her that my acts of kindness were simply because of my friendship for her and that she must not think I entertained any other feeling for her. She took this very much to heart, amd bade me good by.” The girl's body was by her brother, Eli Simon, owner of Dunbar, Wis. ae. kee WHERE THE CANDY WAS BOUGHT Miss Henley Reiterates the Story She Told Chief Desmond.

Authorities Disagree as to Value of Supposed Clews in New York’s Poisoning Case. Special to the Post-Dispatcn. NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—There have been mo arrests in the Cornish poisoning case and the great mystery is as dense as ever. Cornish issued a statement to-day tn which he said he knew who sent the poison to him He mentioned the names of two members of the New York Athletic Club. They were the ones whose names had been most frequentiy mentioned as suspects, To-night, however, the detectives, on the report of the handwriting experts, declare it impossible for either Felix J. Gallagher or Roland B. Molineaux to have written the address on the box sent Cornish. The coroner's inquest will begin on Thursday and then, and probably not until thea, will sufficient evidence to justify an arrest probably be discovered. $13.10 to New Orleans and Return.

HE EDITS THE PRISON PRESS. CONVICTED OF HAVING WRONGED FOUR TRUSTING WOMEN. The Public Institutions Are Vigorous- ly Assailed by His Paper and the State Is Wondering That War- den Hunter Permits It. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. CBDDAR RAPIDS Io., Feb. 4—Is Warden Hunter of the Anamosa State Penitentiary hypnotized by the bigamist convict Cur- tis? That is a question that nine-tenths of the editors of this State are asking; some of them jokingly,jgome seriously, and @ few angrily, coupled with the assertion that if his leniency towards the convict continues they will endeavor to secure his removal. At present Curtis is the editor of a pub- lication jesued from the Anamosa Peniten- tiary, known as the Prison Press. He is also known as W. C. Wilson, D. B. Ball, W. C. Harper, Mr. Clark, and possibly sev- eral other names. Previous to his incar- ceration he was a printer and a preacher; who has four wives and one living child; who was caught by the father of one of the ruined girls just as he was on the point of marrying another whom he had drawn umier the spell of his pious prayers while he was occupying a pulpit at Mendota, Minn.; who dropped into a semi-comatose condition tmmediately upon being sent to the penitentiafy, and so remained until a whrewd physician announced that he thought an electric battery would bring him out if epplied with sufficient vigor, and who was then sent to work on the stone pile, the most despicable of all the convicts, and later was taken from the stone pile by Warden Hunter and made editer of the Prison Press with special privileges. When Warden Hunter went to the An- amosa penitentiary he promised a series of reforms that should place the Iowa penal institution on a level with those of IIll- nois and Pennsylvania. In line with a number of other reforms e@ paper made its appearance, called the Prison Press. It was a bright sheet and met a kindly recep- tion at the hands of the editors of the State. The editor, whose real name was kept a secret, made his pages scintillate with pithy epigrams and sound philosophy. The paper was quoted al] over the State and the Iowa press also contained many flattering comments ag to the general ex- cellence of the Prison Press in character “nd in technical execution, Unrestricted by the friendly hand of a censor, the Prison Press grew bolder and Gnally overdid it. It began to criticise tle management of the Iowa Institutions, es- pecially those under the supervision of the Board of Control. It discovered, or pre- terfied to discover, that there had been rascality on the part of the Iowa manayers of the exposition at Omaha. His philoso- phy began to be concentrated on the en- deavor to prove that the majority of those within prison walla were sent there wrong- fully; that they ought not to be blamed for having stumbled where those without the jail would surely have fallen; that, in short, those who were inside prison walls were not a whit worse than those without. Gradually he began to be more perso al and hinted that he himself had been guilty of no great crime; and finally he grew very plous and “‘forgave’’ the wicked ones who had sent him to the penitentiary and *“noped God would forgive them also.” This made the ‘editors of the State wonder who the was and what en up for, and the discoveries that followed caused indignant editorials in al- most every parer of the State, sharply crit- icising Warden Hunter for allowing this hypocritic@& bigamist so much freedom, es- it became known that he Was attempting to secure a pardon. At Lacon, DL, Curtis married a most ex- cellent young lady, a school teacher, she supplying the money. After about a year, Guring which he worked but little at his trade of printer, but living principally on the money she had saved while teaching echool, he left her in a critica] illness. He started, ostensibly for a nurse, but he took what little money his wife had and never returned. He was next heard of at Center Junction, Io., a little town in the eastern part of the State, where he started a newspaper. He joined the church and taught little children in the Sunday-echool. He had any number of short talks on theologica! sub- jects at his command, and he posed as the embodiment of purity and virtue. There seemed to be some power about him which neither men nor women could resist. It was mot long until he had won the love of one of Center Junction’s fairest maids, beau- tiful ad innocent, the only daughter of one of the best families in the town. Then he went to Anamosa and merged his weekly ged into a little daily paper. Here also © was intensely Interested in church work, end said his prayers daily. One evening he announced that he had been robbed and borrowed $75 from his father-in-law. He had previously succeeded in obtaining an aggregate of about $1000 from the same parent. securing the money Supposedly by a first mortgage on his plant, though in reality a Chicago firm held a first on nearly everything in the office, He was billed to depart from Ana- mosa on a Saturday night on a business trip to St. Louts. He had been so busy that he had not had time to get some mon- ey from the bank before {t closed, and ex- plaining this in bis suave manner to sev- eral citizens, he eecured $75 and boarded the train. Goon after there came a letter to the young wife at Anamosa, sent from the Union Station at St. Louis. In it Cur- tis said: “Bre this reaches you I shall have found a. waitery grave, food for the river rata of the Mississippi."

WAS BROUGHT TO THIS CITY. THOUGHT TO BE IN VAULTS OF A SAFE DEPOSIT. Latest Developments in the Embezzle- ment of $50,000 by the Cashier of the State Bank of — Fort Scott, Kan. a Special to the Post-Dispatch. FT. SCOTT, Kan., Feb. 4—Receiver Cc WwW. Mitchell of the State Bank of this city, which was organized by Lilinois capital and wrecked by Cashier J. R. Colean, has for some time been secretly working on a clue in St. Louis to the recovery of a large amount of the $530,000 which Colean stole. The story of the clue was forced out of Attorney J. H. Crain, counsel for the re- ceiver, on the witness stand in this ci - day. He had himself been in St. Tete for several weeks, working up the clue. Receiver Mitchell and Mr. Crain were prov- ing up their claims against the bank for services and were closely cross-questioned by counsel for the stockholders, as to the nature of their services. This brought out Mr. Crain’s statement of the 8t. Louis clue. Some time since he said Receiver Mitch- ell received a letter from a young man in St. Louis, informing them of his reasons for believing that Colean when he went to St. Louis the day before his defalcation was discovered to make his confession to President D. F. Coon of the State Bank took considerable amount of cash with him In response to the letter, Mr. Crain went to St. Louis, and, according to his testi. mony, discovered that Colean, on the oc- casion mentioned, carried a small satche! and left the train at Vandeventer Station instead of Union Station, as usual; that he proceeded directly to the home of a wo. man he knew in the city and left the grip there. The husband of this woman was at about that time placed in a private asylum, and during his pefiods of mental aberration talked in a stfain that created the suspi- cion that his wife had come into possession of a small fortune. With this information to work on, Mr. Crain secured the assistance of Banker I. C. Nelson and D. F. Coon, both of whom formerly lived in this city, the latter being President of the defunct bank here, and visited all the banks and safe deposit vaults in St. Louis to ascertain if the wom- an or Colean had any money there. On account of the reticence of some of the safe deposit companies the investigation was unsatisfactory, and Mr. Crain ex- pressed the firm belief that the money was now on deposit in St. Louis in the name of Colean or some of his friends, awaiting his release from the penitentiary. A fur. ther inquiry will be made by the bank of- — he day of Colean’s arrival ther called on President Coon at the West Roe Hotel, evidently intending to confess, but did not. That night, he left for Jackson- ville, but before going he wrote a confes- sion and mailed it to Mr. Coon, at the Union Station. The officers of the bank have always contended that he must have disposed of an $8000 reserve fund and $4000 - a of poe tae Ee the day of his eparture, an 8s is @ mone to be In St. Louis now. —" Colean was formerly city treasurer of Jerseyville, IIL, and he and Judge Thornton Ware of Chicago, organized the bank here, which he wrecked. Among the stock- holders are Judge George W. Herdman of the Jerseyville District Court, and a num- ber of other Jerseyville and Jacksonville men. About the last act of ex-Gov, Leedy of Kansas was to commute Colean’s sen- tence of five years, and he will be out in about two months. The Illinois stock- holders want to prosecute him on another count, but cannot under the Kansas law of Mmitation.

At Wheeler a freight train loaded with merchandise and two locomotives, stalled since last Thursday, was discovered on a siding with the train crew still {ts occupants. Slides before and behind had penned it in. The train had been snowbound for ten days. Division Superintendent Zeninger of the South Park branch of the Colorado & Southern, said to-day: ‘We have had 71 consecutive days of snow and storm between Como and Lead- ville. In all that time there has not been a single day free from snow storm and high winds. The old settlers state em- phatically that this winter has been by all odds the most severe in 4 years. The snow is seven feet deep on the level from Boreas to Climax and in many places drifted to more than 20 feet. The gnow is very fine and drifts easily. The altitude being so great, there has not been sufficient moist- ure to form a crust and there will be con- tinual danger and annoyance from drifts until we have a week of sunshine and mild weather to thaw the surfaces. “There has been no guffering from lack of provisions or fuel, unless it be at Ko- komo. They are supplied at Breckinridge now since we brought in our train of sup- plies, so that there can possibly be no danger of suffering for some time to come. To-day is the first really good day we have had, there being no wind and a clear sky. We have the road open betweeen Denver and within 23 miles of Leadville.’’ It is reported that most of the livestock from Breckinridge and mines thereabouts has been driven down the Blue to near Keystone, where ample protection and some bare places for feeding may be found. One rancher there has shed room suffi- cient for 2000 head of stock. People are keeping very close at home, the only ones venturing out being sawyers and miners some distance from town, and these have been closed down and the operators gone to the towns to secure food and warmth. The only mines operated are those close to towns. For six days all communication on the high line has been stopped. Of the three snowbound theatrical com- panies, “Gay Coney Island”’ succeeded in reaching Grand Junction and went to Salt Lake via the Rio Grande Western; West’s Minstrels and “Shaft No. 2” are still at Glenwood Springs, missing dates, but enjoying every comfort at the hotels. The Denver & Rio Grande and the Colo- rado Midland railways are taking the best possible care of their snowbound passen- gers. There is little danger of further snowslides along these lines, a crust hav- ing formed over the snow. Slightly warmer weather is predicted for to-morrow. The coolest point in the State to-day was Greely, 6 miles from Denver, the thermometer there registering 38 de- grees below zero. GETTING WARMER AT BUTTE.

BERLIN, Feb. 4.—His Majesty th's week ordered that the park and gardens rounding Mon Bijou Chateau, in the center of Berlin, be closed to the public. This is due to a startiing incident which has only just become known. Last Sunday the Em- peror and Emprees left the church opposite the palace, and walked toward the carriage which waiting for them just inside the Mon Bijou Park. An enormous crowd had assembled, and was so dense that their majesties had great difficulty in reaching their vehicle.

BERLIN, Feb. 4.—The debates in the Prussian Diet this week were of especial interest, as they brought out the full ex- tent of the agrarian demands and showed that the Prussian cabinet is unanimous on the agrarian quest.on.

LONDON, Feb. 4.—Ethan Allen Hitch- cock, the returning American ambassador to Russia, who was recently appointed Secretary of the Interior, arrived in Lon- don to-day on his way to Washington, He carries home the strongest pro-Russian sympathies In an tInterview with him by a representative of the Associated Press, Mr. Hitchcock denounced emphatically the stories current since the beginning of the Hispano-American war that Russia was a member the .coalition of continental powers which wouid have intervened in the dispute had England not refused to join them. ‘These stories are utterly unfounded,” said Mr. Hitchcock. ‘“‘There has never been a single item of proof produced to substantiate them and, on the contrarys, Russia has been most friendly toward the United States and 1as manifested that friendship during the past years in many ways, of which my position forbids me 4o speak, “Unfortunately the Russian Government of i is so constituted that it cannot do much chael and which és defended by his sword. | _— “Tt is truly a magnificent beginning for | all nations to desire to bring about peace, | talking in such cases as the present, but can only wait for time to afford oppor- tunity for proving the truth.

He scoffs at the idea that the Czar’s peace propaganda is in- ¢pired by any but the highest motives. Re- garding the Czar’s proposal looking toward the limitation of armaments, Mr. Hitch- cock said: “The Czar is in nowlse discouraged by the reception of his plans for checking the increase of armaments. He has no idea that he will achieve all he desires imme- Ciately, but is firm in the belief that his views must prevail in time, and a not very distant time.” Mr. Hitchcock was delayed for a fort- night by the difficuity he encountered in arranging for a reception by the Czar on account of the winter festivities which were in progress and in which the mem- bers of the royal family participated ac- tively, the Czar attending reunions of va- 'rious regiments and making addresses.

A bequest of that amount is left in the will to Mr. Alfred Rothschild, Baron Fer- dinand’s cousin, who is already a multt- millionaire, and the suggestion is that this sum vras intended for the Prince of Wales. The legacy was not formally left to him, it {is thought, bécause of a desire to pre- vent gossip about his financial affairs, which the Prince detests. Under the English law 10 per cent legacy duty !s chargeable against this bequest. The Prince, as is well known, needs money badly, as, although his allowance was increased by Parliament $150,000 a vear ters, he is obliged to make the Duke of York a large allowance out of his private purse and his own expenses are very heavy. The deathof Princess Marie Louiseof Bul- garia is regarded by all familiar with her domestic life as a happy release from an intolerable position. The Princess never forgave Prince Ferdinand for having their eldest son, Prince Doris, christened in the Greek Church, to conciliate Russia. The Princess left him before the ceremony, which was intensely obnoxious to her. She was a member of one of the oldest Cath- olic families in Europe and the Pope sym- pathized with her. He had designated her this vear to be the recipient of the golden rose, the highest honor the Pope can con- fer on a woman, Her mother-in-law, Princess Clementine, an intriguing tyrant of the worst descrip- tion, made her a cipher in her own home, his mother and completely. igriored his wife.

We begin to see more clear- ly into matters. There has been for some time past serious friction between Chief Justice Chambers and Dr. Joannes Raffel, the German President of the municipality of Apia, and Herr Rose, the German Con- sul at Apia, arising from mutual recrimina- tions as to the conduct of official business and personal difference. Mr. Chambers appears to have been en- gaged in promoting much agitation in favor of the Malieto party. If this is confirmed we shal] ask for an explanation, as such conduct is a direct contravention. of the Berlin treaty, which expressly provides that the Supreme Judge shall not meddle with National elections, but shall remain strictly neutral on such occasions, “It seems, however, that Mr. Chambers joined in the intrigues of the English mis- sionaries who feared that Protestant inter- eats would suffer by the ascension of the Roman Catholic, Matafa. The German Government does not go to the length of claiming that Mr. Chambers did so act, but if the reports are confirmed we shall ask for an explanation.

If complaints are made they wilf be impartially and amicabiy investigated. No formal requests or com- ernment, and there Is evidently a desire on both sides to settle the whole difficulty in dent. it seems undeniable that a German created a disturbance by smashing window panes, but we fail to see how Mr. Cham- bers deemed it his duty to place the of.- fender under hia jurisdiction Instead of leaving him to the Consular jurisdiction, as the Samoa act prescribed. is action, upon the part of Mr. Chambers, will also need an explanation. “The incident, however, is trifling.

_. SUNDAY MORNING—ST, LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—FEBRUARY 5, 1899 ee ee NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. “|MPERIALISTS ADMIT DEFEAT. — Abandon Hope of Ratifying the Treaty. OPPOSITION HAS WHIP HAND. GORMAN’S LEAD THEIR RANKS ARE SOLID. UNDER Neither the Sullivan Nor Any Other Like Resolution Now Pending Will Be Permitted to Come to a Vote, Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The treaty of peace will not be paseed at this session. This is the consensus of opinion expressed by Senators Gcrman, Jones, Caffery, Petti- grew, Hale, Hoar and the other opponents of imperialism with whom the Post-Dis- patch correspondent talked to-day. The in- dications fully bear out this statement. The treaty lacks two votes of the necessary two-thirds required for ratification. Its ad- vocates, to all intents and purposes, have abandoned hope. They realize the fight is practically lost. Every conceivable influ- ence has been brought to bear upon the op- position, but to-night the lines are almost a solid phalanx. The defections will be much smaller than was originally expected. Not more than nine Democrats will vote for the treaty—Allen, Clay, Harris, Gray, Pet tus, Kenney, Faulkner, Sullivan and Lind- gay. The opponents are In aSsolute control of the eituation. Mr. Gorman has the whip hand and with the assistance of his cohorts, Senators Bacon, Caffery, Pettigrew and one or two others, he holds the Democrats, with the few above-noted exceptions, e6ol- idly in line. As a Western Senator ex- pressed the situation to the Post-Dispatch correspondent: “The Democrats appear to be men of putty in the hands of Gorman, who molds them at will.” Just where the Republicans will get the two votes needed is not clear. Chairman Davis and Senator Hanna quietly admit defeat, but Senator Lodge believes there is etill a fighting chance. He admits, how- ever, that the vote will be close. Senator Platt of Connecticut informed the Post-Dispatch correspondest to-night that the chances are about even. Mr. El- kins is despondent over the outlook and is quietly chastising his friends for pter- mitting the Democrats to force a day for a vote. The Post-Dispatch correspondent is au- thorized to announce on the authority of a member of the Foreign Relations Com- mittee that neither the Sullivan nor any of the other Philippine resolutions now pend- ing will be voted upon. The Republicans, disappointed because of their failure to secure a vote when pro- posed yesterday, have assumed an air of defiance. To-day Senator Bacon made a feeble attempt to call Senator Davis’ bluff made in executive session yesterday, but the treaty Senators would not consent to it. Meantime they are secretly putting Senator Carter through a course of tongue lashing for his filibustering a few days ago, which resulted in precluding a vote on the Sullivan resolution. If the Sullivan resolution had passed, as it undoubtedly would have passed on Tuesday or Wednes- day, the Administration Senators believe they could have whipped enough Senators into line with it to pass the Paris agrée- ment, ' This belief, however, is fallacious. Only one vote would have been influenced by the Sullivan resolution — the vote of the author—and even that will go to the gup- port of the treaty as it stands to-night. The treaty Senators have captured Sen- ator Kenney and the charges against him in Delaware will be nolle prossed. This statement is made on reliable autherity, The Post-Dispatch correspondent told ex- clusively a few days ago of the efforts of the Republicans to bring Mr. Kenney over to the fold, using the nolle prosse argument with him. But even with ‘Mr. Kenney the treaty is still short of two votes. Mr, Heitfeld, who has been counted in the uncertain column, to-day told the Post- Dispatch correspondent that he is un- alterably opposed to the treaty. “Much ag I would like to oblige my col- league, Senator Shoup, and some of my friends on the Republican side, I cannot conscientiously vote for the treaty. ‘This: is final. My mind is made up.” Senator Jones of Nevada declines to State his position, but the impression is that he will vote against the treaty. This, at least, is what he told Senator Caffery. As an indication of weakness, Senator Hanna, one of the strongest sup- porters of the treaty, has this to say: “I do not care to discuss the treaty pros- pects.”" Usually the Ohloan has maintained an air of confidence, Another effort was made in the executive @ession of the Senate to-day to secure unan- imous consent to a vote on the resolutions interpretive of the peace treaty, and it was refused by the opponents of the treaty. The request was preferred by Senator Sui- livan of Mississippi who expressed a desire heave a vote on the resolution offered by himself. Senator Jones made the ob- jection. There was also another effort to secure general consent to another meeting, but this also was refused, Senator Jones of Ar- kansas acting as spokesman for the oppo- sition, Senator Lodge was in charge of the fortunes of the sr Ondy to-day in the absence of Senator Davis.

They could be acquir under international law and the Constitution gave full scope to tne legislation giving effect to law for the con- trol of international] affairs. DEBATE IN THE SENATE. Chilton and Wolcott Were the Princi- 1 Speakers. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4—At the begin- ning of to-day’s session of the Senate, Mr. Allen (Neb.) offered the following resolu- tion: “That the Senate of the United States in ratifying and confirming the treaty of Paris does not commit itself of the Govern- ment to the Goctrine that the islands ac- quired by virtue of the war with Spain are to be annexed or to become a part of the United States, and that the difference in the language of said treaty as respects the Island of Cuba and its inhabitants, and the Island of Porto Rico and the Philip- pine Islands ang their inhabitants shall not be construed of be held to be a difference in effect, but that it is the intention and purpose of the Senate in ratifying said treaty to place the inhabitants of the Phil- ippine Islands and Porto Rico in exactly the same position as respects their rela- tions to the United States as are the inbab- itanits of Cuba.’’ Mr. Allen gave notice that he would ad- dress the Senate upon the resolution Mon- day. Mr. Chilton (Tex.) then addressed the Senate on the various anti-expansion reso- lutions. He asserted that he was not an anti-expansionist or anti-annexationist. Within proper bounds he regarded it as the duty of this country to widen its bounds. He thought the acquisition of Porto Rico and the Islands of Guam was well thought, but in the acquisition of the Philippines @& grave public policy was involved, He be- lieved such acquisition involved serious perils, and that dangers to our Govern- ment and institutions would constantly menace us. He did not regard the annexa- tion of the Philippines as at all similar to that of Louisiana, California and other territory now a part of the United States. Mr. Chilton said #f our operations were confined to Porto Rico and Cuba we would need no increase in the standing army, but if the Philippines were taken we should require an army of 200,000 men to subjugate the scatfered and turbulent elements in the islands and pensions would be piled on pen- sions. He declated his belief that the Su- — Court would hold that Congress adi no power to prevent the Philippines Sem one part of the country to another. But even if the inhabitants were shut out, their products would not be and could not be. Mr. Foraker (Ohio), interrupting Mr. Chil- ton, cadled his attention to authorities for the etatement that it would be competent for any State of the Union to protect itself in any way it saw fit, by levying import duties on importations from the Philip- pines, This point was sharply controverted by Mr, Chilton, The laboring people of the country, he added, had caught the alarm, and read a letter he had received from the National Cigarmakers’ Union urging Con- gress not annex the Philippines, on the ground that it would demoralize the labor market of this country. Mr. Platt (Conn.) satd he had studied the question pretty carefully and he was sat- istied that neither the Filipinos nor their products could come into this country un- less Congress so provided. Mr. Chilton replied that this was merely the opinion of Mr. Platt and was of ro actual force or effect. He had examined the question very carefully and ~had reached the opposite conclusion. Mr. Chilton said he would do with the Philippines what the United States Las done with the Republic of Liberia, and no European government would dare to inter- fere with the independent government of “the Philippines, — from passing Mr. Wolcott, who had announced a brief speech for to-day, was then recognized. He attempted no distussion of the pending resolutions, but urged the ratification of the treaty on purely moral and patriotic grounds. “It was not,” said he, “until it became patent that the resolutions pending before the Senate were being used merely as a cloak with which to defeat the treaty of peace that I determined to say a few words,”’ His own belief was that discussion of the treaty should take place in executive ses- sion, but Senators had taken opportunity in presenting their views upon the reso- lutions to discuss the treaty, and he felt it necessary to say something along that line. He said that the war with Spain had had no charms for him, and he had wailke with perhaps reluctant feet along the lines of duty marked out for him. ‘If the Commissioners appointed by the President had presented to the Senate a treaty yielding up the Philippine Islands, he would have felt it his duty to ratify their action, if they had in the treaty held only a coaling station he would have felt bound equally to support their action. “In their wisdom,” said he, “they have brought to us a treaty providing for the taking of the entire Philippine group and I see before me my duty to assist in the ratification of that action.”’ After reviewing briefly the results of the war and the negotiations which led to the appointment of the Peace Commission Mr, Wolcott said: “The Commissioners ap- ointed by the President were men eminent n character and ability. We may judge something of the Commission by the mem- bers of it that were selected by this body. Not one man here is there who would not trust to any of them the most intricate and delicate matter. They have brought back here a treaty with Spain by which we y deal with the Filipinos, as Congress h@reafter may Wisely determine. Yet we stand here day after day wrangling over resolutions of no force and effect and which serve only to eMbarrass our own people in the Philippines and afford comfort to our opponents on the islands. There is not one of these questions raised which may not properly be dealt with after the treaty is ratified. “We should present a united front to foreign countries and dissent only on in- ternal policies.” “However much we may differ among ourselves upon questions of Internal pol- icy,” said he, “we ought to stand as one before a foreign foe. I for one recognize a great difference between a treaty estab- lishing commercial relations with another nation and a treaty bringing to a concelu- sion a successful war. It is important that we should present an unbroken front in meeting a question of this kind. We owe a debt to our brethren across the sea. Wa had their unqualified moral support and influence ‘of thelr trained iplomats throughout the war. Had it not been for England we should not have emerged from the late war with colors flying so high. To- day we have among the nations of Europe only one friend—G t Britain. The other nations stand with"rapacious hate, hoping that we may encounter some repulse.” Adverting to the attitude of the opponents of the treaty in endeavoring to inject, as he said, politics into the consideration of the pending question and to force out of it an issue for the next Presidential campaign, Mr. Wolcott said: “Tt do not believe such tactics can win. There are men enough on both sides of this chamber who will stand by the Govern- ment, not because It Is a republican ernment, but because it is an American t. of the war have left us with a to k a a wey : : a necine strife among a people who may or may not be fitted for self-government. “If we should abandon these islands as a derelict, it is certain that they would be- come a prey to Burope. For one, I am cer- tain that the ratification of the treaty would amel.orate the conditions there and advance the interests of the Filipinos. We shall not put our hands on those people ex- cept to bless them, and our efforts will be to lift them up to the standards of civiliza- tion and Christilanity.”’ Referring to the charge made on the Sen- ate floor that the taking of the Ph‘lippines by the United States would result in scan- dals of office-holding and office-holders, Mr. Wolcott repudiated the idea with scorn and declared that the American people would see to it that although they had little experience in the management of euch territory, it would be given proper and careful attention. “Our relations with the inhabitants of these islands,” continued Mr. Wolcott, “are certain to be fair, honest and just. We may make mistakes. We have made mis- takes in the past. But with our protectU.ng hand over them those people w:ll find them- selves more secure in their lives, property and happiness than they have ever .been before.”’ In answer to the charge that the gcqul- sition of the islands would be contrary to the spirit of our Republic, he sad this Government was the first experiment of its kind ever made. “Every year.” he contin- ued, “has brought us additional burdens, and with them has come added greatness. And who shall say that, in the development of this Republic, with its Anglo-Saxon strength and energy, it will not increase until we have planted our institutions and principles in that far-off archipelego? Time alone can make clear our duty to the peo- ple of the Philippines Islands. To-day we face the proposition of emasculating or destroying the peace treaty. For me there is but one path marked out. That is the path of duty, the path of honor.” At 2:15 p. m., on motion of Mr. Lodge, the Senate went into executive session and at 6:2 adjourne?e VENEZUELA IN A LAWSUIT. Justice Brewer Says the Case Has Nothing to Do With Expansion. LONDON, Feb. 4.—Judge David J. Brewer, Associate Justice of the United States Su- preme Court, who is returning home on the Cunard line steamer Strutia after his first visit abroad to attend the preliminary meeting of the Venezuelan Arbitration Commission, said to-day toa representative of the Associated Press: “From the public men I have met here and from others I heard only the mest cordial feeling ex- pressed toward the United States, so far as I have been able to judge from my brief visit, the French are quite as friendly towards the United States as the English. “T shall return with Chief Justice Fuller in May, and anticipate passing a most pleasant summer in Paris.” In replying to a question Justice Brewer said: “I know it is being discussed abroad whether the United States in acquiring colonies does not invalidate the Monroe Doctrine, but Venezuela has now nothing to do with the doctrine. It has the status of a lawsuit.’’ ON THE SOCIAL SIDE DINNERS, LUNCHEONS AND RE- CEPTIONS AT WASHINGTON. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

RIGHT TO CUT CABLES. Attorney General Griggs Upholds the Action of Dewey at Manila. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4—Attorney-Gen- eral Griggs in a decision rendered to-day upholds the right of a military commander to cut a cable within the territorial wa- ters of any enemy without making his country Hable in damages. The question arose on the cutting by Admiral Dewey at Manila, of the cable of the British Eastern Extension, Australasia and China Telegram Co., who filed a claim with the State De- partment for $36,000 damages. Attorney- General Griggs finds that under the law of nations there is no ground for a claim for indemnity. STRAIN TELLING ON DEWEY. Capt. McLean Says the Hero of Manila Should Come Home.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 4—A cablegram from London says: Most contradictory reports continue to be published here respecting the outcome of the Joint High Commission in the way of a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Canada. There have also been somewhat vague statements of efforts on Lord Hersohell’s part to secure a treaty by putting pressure upon Canada to relin- quish what she regards as her rights Nothing can be learned here of the truth or falsity of these suggestions, but there is a signifiant passage in a remarkable se- ries of cable messages from Canadian Min- isters, published in the birthday issue of the Outlook to-day. . The Hon. David Mills, Canadian Minis- ter of Justice, says Canada has shown ‘her devotion to the British connection. “We trust the Motherland will not make the mistake of compromising our rights in the expectation of securing the friendship of other peoples.”’ The direct appea] to British public opin- fon cannot fail to have its effect in Down- ing street, where greater weight is given to Canadian ministerial opnion than ever before, HUMOR GERMS EXPELLED BY Cuticura Resolvent Greatest of Blood Purifiers and Humor Cures.

MEN Statues of Blair and Benton Received by the House. DOCKERY GROWS ELOQUENT. CEAMP CLARK, TOO, ADDS TO EULOGY OF PAST STATESMEN. Mr. Bland Presents the Historic Mar. ble and a Tennesseean Causes Enthusiasm by His Praise. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ~ WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.+On behalf of the United States Government, the House of Representatives to-day atcepted from the State of Missouri statues of Thomas Hart Benton and Francis Preston Blair, and ac- corded them places of honor in Statuary Hail. The House @lso adopted a resolution of thanks to the State and listened appre- cilatively to speeches eulogistic of the pub- lic services of Benton and Blair, both of whom were heroic figures in the history of their day. Representative Richard P. Bland, on be- half of the Missouri! delegation, presented the formal note from Gov. Stephens tender- ing the statues to the Government and also the equally forma] resolution of acceptance by the House, | Three Missourt members—Congressman Dockery of the Third, Congressman Clark of the Eighth and Congressman Lloyd of the First—and Congressman E. W. Car- mack of Tennessee, spoke of the great pub- lic services of both of the distinguished former Senators. Congressman Dockery sald in part: “Both Benton and Blair rendered most distinguished serivce in the national Legis- lature—Benton, for five terms in the Sen- ate and one term in. the House, and Blair for parts of four terms in the House and part of a term in the Senate; so that with peculiar fitness their sculptured images will stand yonder and be viewed by gen- erations to come, hard by the scenes of their legislative struggles and triumps. “In Benton, we behold the mightiest son of the early West—the most colossal figure in the march of trans-Mississipp! develop- ment, striding onward head and shoulders above all his contemporaries. It was not my good fortune to have known him, or my privilege ever to have seen him; but his grand, manly character, his splendid achievements in public life, and his prince- ly qualities as a private citizen, as I have learned them from the lips of others and as find them chronicled in our history, command my unstinted admiration. Him- self a pioneer, I take him to have been the recognized exponent of the great ploneer class—hardy, enterprising, irresistible; the ablest expounder of their views, and the most typical representative of their aspira- tions. In his day and generation, he was the greatest champion of the West and its interests, and the most zealous advocate of every movement for the extension of the western boundaries of the republic, be- holding with clearer vision than most of his fellows through the mist of coming years something of the later grandeur and glory which the nation has attained. “It ts with special pride that Missouri contributes to. our National Pantheon these memories of two of her most fllus- trious sons, Benton and Blair. Their names and their deeds not only have wrought especial blessing and reflected lasting re- nown upon thelr own Imperial common- wealth, but they are the heritage of the whole country as well and as such their marble yonder hall, side by side with those of otherg of the nation’s noblest children— pioneers, warriors, statesmen, inventors, benefactors—heroes al.” Congressman Clark said in part: “In sending Thomas Hart Benton and the younger Francis Preston Blair to forever represent here in the great American Val- halla, where the effigies wf a nation’s im- mortal worthies do congregate, Missouri made a most happy and a most fitting se- lection from among a host of her dis- tinguished sons. These two men comple- ment each other to an extraordinary de- gree. Really their lives formed but one career—a great career—a career of vast import to the State and nation, Both were Southerners by birth; both Senators of the United States; both were soldiers of the republic; both members of this House; both added largely to American renown; both left spotless reputations as a heritage to their countrymen, , “The dominant passion of these two Mis- sourl Titans was an absorbing love of the Union. To its preservation they devoted their great energies of mind and heart and body. To that end they were not only theoretically willing to spend and be gpent, but were actually and literally spent. In that warfare they sacrificed all those things which most men hold dear. In that cause Benton went to his political death, and Frank Blair rendered himself a phy- sical wreck. In their vocabulary P tom se were no such words as ‘concession’ or as ‘compromise.’ In very truth, they took their lives in their hands and fought the battle to the bitter end.”’ Aside from the eulogy in Mr. Clark’s re- marks they covered also the results of much personal research and an abundance of incidents and anecdotes of the two Mis- sourlans. A reference of Mr. Clark’s to the “far resounding feat of Gen. Joseph Wheeler at Santiago of being carried into battle upon a stretcher” was heartily applauded. Mr. a of Missouri sketched the careers of Benton and Blair and gave many interesting phases of their publiie life.

The reception of the World's Fair Committee by the Pres- ident and Speaker Reed gives a decided boom to that project. Congressional assistance is practically assured. There is no doubt that $5,000,000 can be expected from the Federal Treasury if St. Louis goes about securing it in the right way. This nay not be appropriated by the present Congress but is sure to te furthcoming next winter, or in the spring if there ie mn extra session. Citizens can be depended upon for another $5,000,000 and the necessary legislation enabling the city to help along with another $5,000,000 should be obtained at once. With $15,000,000 the Fair should be the greatest in history. We can even eclipse the wonderful Columbian celebration of 1893. And it will pay for itself many times over. The en- tire Louisiana territory, the State of Missouri, the city of St. Louls and every inhabitant of the vast region acquired by Jefferson wil be benefited directly and indirectly. a i te ae i[Américan Meat Is All Right —The embalmed beef scandal ought to have no effect upon the reputation of American beef shipped to other countries In the general ‘line of com- merce. England has had her army contract scandals, but they did not discredit English products in the world’s markets. An army contract stands by itself. It offers an exceptional temptation for fraud. Those who would commit that fraud do not dare to ruin their reputation by frauds on the public in open market. American meat is all right, and sensible Eu- ropeans will understand the situation. = = * oS “TRUST THE PRESIDENT.” “Trust the President” is the argument-in-chief of the Mc- Kinley organs and supporters whenever objections to the President's policy are urged. It was on the trust-the-President theory that $50,000,000 were placed in Mr. McKinley’s hands at the beginning of the war. On the same theory the sum of $3,000,000 wag set aside for thé President's tise in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. The trust-the-President theory is the basis of the bill per- mitting the President to increase the army to 100,000 men at will. It is the foundatton of the cry that it is disgraceful for Senators and Representatives to use their constitutional rights and privileges to obstruct or criticise the President's Plans. But why limit our trust in the President to $50,000,000, 100,000 men and the settlement of the Philippine question? Why not trust him with an abiding faith that knows no fear and place the entire government in the President’s hands? Let ue abolish Congress and the other coordinate branch of government and trust the President to run the country. Let us be rid of the exPense of useless govermental departments and confide our lives, our property, our rights to the wisdom of the great father at Washington. = = = a St. Louis and Missouri must set Congress the example in the matter of appropriations for the World’s Fair of 1903. Once the ball is set rolling it will grow rapidly and the highest success will be assured. = = * — NEPOTISM AND EXTRAVAGANCE. The Post-Dispatch’s Jefferson City correspondence exposing the spoilation of the State by the State Legislature through an enormous increase of the clerical forces of both houses, closed with a list of Senators and Representatives who had relatives in the roster of employes. It was a long list and not only did it appear that some appointees had not done any work, but many of the appointments were made without re- gard to competence. Suinming up the case against the Legislature we find that the clerical force has been nearly doubled since the last previous revising session. The expense of the Legislative session has been doubled. Many of the additional employes @re useless and many of the useless employes are relatives of legislators. Reckless extravagance coupled with nepotism is a combina- Mion that smacks of corruption. The State is being plundered for personal ends by the Legislators. _—4& a 4. i i 4 The dirty work of the trusts will not be less conspicuous when they are joined by the gigantic combination to contro} the American soap output. ! = —_——- —_ TELEPHONE DINNER PARTIES. | The telephone banquet at Boston, New York, Chicago, St. uls and some other cities Friday night was a highly suc- 11 occasion socially and scientifically.

A telephone dinner party is worth @ volume of socialistic literature and a dozen co-operative experiments. Let us eat, drink and be merry, for to-morrow the problems will vanish and we shall all go play. i iS The Missouri University’s Volunteers —From the State Unt- versity comes a roster of officers and men—alumni, former students and under-graduates—of the institution who enlisted for the Spanish war. The University cadets were among the first to offer their services to the President. The organization stood high in the esteem of regimental officers, and was s¢- lected from the entire brigade for provost work at Chicka- mauga. The cadets who comprise the Missouri State Military School are members of the National Guard which, of course, is improved by the training there given them. That the school is a sucagss is attested by the record of its representatives in the volunteer army. , =~ = ii. i A GREAT MYSTERY. The embalmed beef case promises to go into history as a great mystery of state, like the Man in the Iron Mask. Ton man unprejudiced by interest it would seem natural and proper to investigate charges coming from the ranking officer in the army. In this case they imply the most hideous attack upon the honor of the government and involve the safety not only of the brave men fighting for their country but of the country itself. Gen. Miles’ charges are simple, direct and, so far as can be seen, prompted by public spirit and 8 solicitous regard for the highest welfare of the army and people. If they are true, the public good, the very life of the state, has been subordinated to consideration of private profit. If true a crime was com- If true the most dangerous and destructive enemies of the United States were not the Span- lards, but the contractors who recklessly fed the soldiers poisonous beef, heedless of the possible result *to their country and its defenders. Yet there is a frantic effort to suppress the man who has brought the matter to public attention. Gen. Miles is de- nounced by adininistration organs because his revelations tend to hurt American trade in Germany, as if the life of an American soldier were a consideration secondary to the profit of the packers. He ig .threatened with degradation, with dis- missa], with retirement, with court-martial, with all sorts of terrible penalties if he doesn’t keep his mouth shut and stop telling how the soldiers were starved and murdered. A panic fear seems to have seized the departments at Washington lest they be compelled by public wrath to put the charges to the proof. a : It is a great mystery. Who will explore it? _—_——_ —_ — — So many private soldiers have confirmed the statements of Gen. Miles in regard to the army beef that the Administra- tion’s efforts to conceal the iniquities of its servants can have little effect. As long as a soldier lives who was sickened by the beef furnished him there will be testimony against the War Department’s management. — Bishop Doane galls the forcible annexation of the Philip-: pines “‘passive acceptance of the care of certain people and certain races thrust upon us.”’ The soldiers who have to kill half the Filipinos to bring the other half into subjection will not enjoy this kind of passivity. Buffalo has astonished the country by her success in raising funds for her Pan-American exhibition. If Buffalo can. do so handsomely, what may not be accomplished by St. Louis with a population so much larger and wealth that has long given her fame as the Solid City? = = i ee Czar Reed also favors the great World’s Fair of 1908 and has promised to do all in his power to secure Congressional recognition for it. The outlook at Washington is very en- encouraging. Now let us go to work in Missouri with re- newed energy. Not many people know that over 10,000,000 logs are received annually at St. Louis, in rafts floated down the Mississippi. The Father of Waters will for generations help to make St. Louis one of the greatest lumber centers in the country. Twenty-one centuries will look down from the pyramids upon the trolley line that will run to the tombs of the Pha- raohs. It will be quite as notable a spectacle as was the army of Napoleon. The Czar’s peace conference may collapse, but the peace idea will continue to grow. The world is going steadily for- ward, however slowly we get on. The President will be Commander-in-Chief indeed when he can increase the army as much as he pleases within the large figure of 100,009. >= - - > POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. Expansion will make Uncle Samuel taller by pulling his leg. Alger would not be so hopping mad if Miles had toadied to him. It will take a very warm spring to fire all Colorado canyons, The formation of the big soap combine will go to show that soap is no bar to trusts. Gen, Eagan's sentence may be mitigated, but Gen. EKagan’s billingsgate was unmitigated. The derby hat trust may be easily handicapped if the con- sumer should undertake a boycott. There is a good deal of ghoulish glee among the vegetarians who have been reading about army beef. Simon of Oregon is 80 new to the Senate that he cannot yet say “Thumbs up” with any considerable effect. Missour! soap is finding its way to Cuba. Where there’s soap there’s hope. The Cubans will soon be all right. Upon being approached on the subject, the President at once saw that the Louisiana Purchase Celebration is a good thing, and he will push it along. With a daily income of $5000 and his annual salary from Uncle Bam, the new Senator from Montana ought to live comfortably even in a town 680 expensive as Washington. If the people of the Philippines are white, black, blue, brown, gray, spotted and striped, how can Speaker Reed affirm s0 positively in regard to the abdominal color of our new fellow citi- tens? The “smart Aleck” guides of the Executive Mansion who point out Maj. Pruden to strangers and say “There’s the President,” shoulé be dismissed without delay. When an American citizen goes to Washington to look upon the head of the nation there should be no such foolery as this. = — -_— a ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. the snow out of the — F.

Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the New York World, has offered to establish at Barnard College a $10,000 scholarship to be known as the “Lucille Pulitzer Scholarship,”’ in memory of his daughter, who died a few months ago. The offer will undoubtedly be accepted by the trustees of the college. Of all the metropolitan editors, Mr. Pulit- zer has done more in providing education. al advantages for worthy and ambitiour students than any other. Several score of young men are now re- ceiving a college education at his expense.

DROP IN RATES OF INTEREST. MANY BANKS DECLINE TO PAY FOR USE OF DEPOSITS. In Some Eastern Cities Where Capital Is Piled Up Loans Are Being Freely Made on the Bor- rower’s Terms. St. Louis bankers have no reason to com- plain of financial conditions. Money has been abundant, but never a drug, and very little is idle. Many institutions state that loans have increased largely. In the last six months interest rates have decreased about 1 per cent. Much surplus capital is finding ite way Westward. The recent purchase “of the Lindell street car system by Easterners threw $8,000,000 into St. Louls channels, which must seek other outlete for invest- ment. The sale of the Drummond tobacco plant tnmcreased this amount. Insurance companies are appointing St. Louls repre- sentatives to act as financial agents and to pick up good investments here. The market naturally shows evidence of a strong undertone. Consolidation of a few banking inetitu- tions has narrowed the margin of expense in these cases. That the fleld is good is shown by the efforts now under way to launch another trust company, whose capi- tal of $200,000 has been oversubscribed. The prospect of the World’s Fair has given a stimulus which will expand as the centennial draws nearer. ’ To present the conditions that obtain in other financial centers, the Post-Dispatch wired its correspondents to interview bankers and other capitalists The re- sponses are given below. It will be seen that in Bastern cities especially thefe is much idle money, and that In some instances banks decline to pay for use of deposits and borrowers get accommodations on their own terms, $200,000,000 TO LOAN. Special to the Post Dispatch. NDW YORK, Feb. 4.—Over $200,000,000 Hes idle in the banks and trust company vaults of New York. To-day’s bank statement showed that the reserve in the associated banks amounts to $37,452,675, while the ac- tual reserve is $257,468,300. The deposits are $880,022,600, the largest in New York’s bank- ing history. An increase of $18,385,000 with- in a week, while the loans have increased only $15,154,400, If this state of things continues, bankers predict that the rate will be 1 per cent be- fore May 10, In the meantime millions of dollars which in former times were tied up in real] estate mortgages, savings banks, safe bonds and stocks have been withdrawing because of the reduction of.interest and the refunding schemes of the railroads, municipalities and industrial enterprises. This money is going into gpeculative enterprises, whereby the risk ia greater, but the possibility of ampler return is seen. This condition has caused the speculative fever now possessing the country. —————— EFFECT OF THE WAR Special tol the Post-Dispatch. BOSTON, Feb. 4.—One of the best-known bankers says: “The sinking of the Maine and the war with Spain caused capital] to be withdrawn and impaired confidence, The rates for money advanced. The successful termination of the war, good crops, foreign demand and excess of exports gave im- petus to business and Mcreased the value of money. Unfortunate legislation affect- ing railroads and overbuilding beyond pres- ent requirements, the power of concentrated capital, and in many cases overproduction of manufacturing interests are among the reasons contributing to make money abund- ant and rates low.” THE TRUST INFLUENCE. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BALTIMORHD, Feb. 4.—The depressing in- fluences of a plethora of idle capita] have not been so pronounced here as in other centers. Four or five years ago time ac. commodations were 5 and 6 per cent; the present rate is 4 and 6 per cent, and easy at that. Call money, which was 4 and & per cent. is to-day $3 and 4 percent. Local capital ie free from congestion on account of the establishment of large money enterprises. Trust companies have made inroads on the business of the conservatrve 6ankse. One of the national banks recently reduced its capital stock 580 per cent. Money is plentiful, but what aggregate of capital is lying unemployed is beyond any accurate estimation. $50,000,000 IDLE AT CHICAGO. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Feb. 4.—Interest rates on fixed loans have dropped in five years from 6% per cent to 8% per cent. On inside real estate the latter rate is now current.

Now any amount of money can be secured at 4. One cause of the surplus is that many manufacturing concerns have been absorbed by trusts. The latter paid cash for the plants and this money is now seeking investment. BANKS HAVE REDUCED. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HARTFORD, Conn., Feb. 4—A conserva- tive estimate of idle money is $4,000,000. The rate has gone down within five years uptii it is practically at New York raies. Five years ago the rate was 6 per cent, and it is now 3%. Banks allowing interest on special deposits have reduced their rate from 1 to 1%. Some banks allow but 2 per cent. BORROWERS GO EAST. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 4—Banks still insist on 6 per cent, and only a few will loan as low as 6 per cent on best collateral and lor large amounts. A few large loans are made at 4 per cent, but small loans ars still 7 per cent. Borrowers go East. Probably $2,000,000 more might be loaned at reduced rates. STILL HIGH AT DENVER. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DENVER, Col., Feb. 4 — The interest rate of from 8 to 12 per cent has not been changed recently in Denver. There has been constant agitation for lower rates, but as long as the demand for money keeps wp the rates will remain high. In- surance companies and Eastern trust com- panies have lowered rates on money s¢e- cured by real estate from 8 to 10 per cent to about 6 and 6 per cent.

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 4.—Vice-President Jacob Haae of the Capital City Bank says: “The low price of cotton has called for leas money for its removal] than heretofore, and this has left considerable money lying idle.

The Federal weather observer at Wash- ington seems to have overlooked St. Louis in his remarks about meteorological con- ditions, past and probable. He says in his general forecast issued last night: “The storm which was central Friday night in the Ohio Valley has continued northeastward by way of New England and is to-night off the extreme northeast Canadian coast, The secondary depression, which was tn Southern Texas, shows an unexpected development to the Northeast- ward and is central to-night in Southern Loulsiana. “Rain has continued generally in the Guif and Atlantic States and snow In New England, followed by clearing from Vir- ginia, Northeastward. There were also light snows in the Lake Regions and scat- tered snow flurries tn the Southwest and extreme West. Cold weather continues in the Northwest, but with a rise of tempera- ture of 18 to 2) degrees in the Dakotas and Montana. In the central valleys and the lake regions the temperatures have fallen; decidedly so in the West Gulf States and the Ohio Valley, and the gero line reaches to the west shore of Lake Michigan.

Over the remainder of the coutnry generally fair weather will prevail. : “It will be much colder from Louisiana northeastward through Hastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina. In the North- west the temperature will rise. Brisk north- east winds are indicated on the New Eng- land and Middle Atlantic Coast and fresh to brisk east winds on the South Atlantic Coast, except in Florida, where t will continue southerly.

Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour, who are both sincere church men, are afraid of the consequences of gubmitting legislation involving delicate points of doc- trine to Parliament, which includes not only a large non-Protestant element, but also a considerable section of agnostics.

PINE BLUFF, Ark., Feh 4—Citizens here feel outraged at the passage of a bill ‘in the Senate compelling policy holders to’ } } list all life insurance policies, thereby mak- ing of them personal property. They hold that if this bill passes the House and it is not vetoed it will work a hardship on the poor man to the extent of forcing him to drop the life insurance which has been kept alive by hard exertions so that at his death his widow and orphans would have a small competence.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 4.—Recent combina- tions of whisky manufacturers and practi- cally that of the Kentucky manufacturers have given such confidence in future prices of whisky as to keep up the boom in the sales of whisky in bend at the top of its bent.

BESOLUTION INTENDED TO ABOL- ISH THE TOLL-GATE. Tf the Owners of the Belleville Pike Do Not Repair the Road Then Revenue From That Source Will Cease. — Before the spring buds burst the toll- gate wars of Kentucky may be thrown into the shade by sanguinary conflicts over in St. Clair County. The County Board of Supervisors met at Belleville yesterday and formally abolished the toll gates along the Belleville turnpike between Belleville and East St. Louis. By the terms of the action taken they are to remain abolished until such time as the turnpike has been put in such conartion as fn the judgment of fne supervisors will give the turnpike owners warrant for again exacting tribute from those who pass that way. As long as “the oldest citizen” can re- member toll gates have existed along the Belleville turnpike. The road was built about half a century ago by a corporation, under a State charter. It extended from the East End of the Eads bridge to Belle- ville. In the days before railroads were built it was a very important highway, as all of the commerce between Belleville and 6t. Louls was necessarily carried on over it. It ie still an important road and the traf- Gc over it is very heavy. The Board of Supervisors has always ex- ercised a certain amount of control over it and has always claimed the right to throw the road open if it was not kept in good _ condition. Several times in the last two years the Board has threatened to declare the turn- {ke a free highway unless it was. put in tter condition, but the owners of the road seemed to pay no heed. The owners of the road have always claimed a good deal of exemption from county interference on account of the State charter which the corporation held. At the meeting of the. Board a month ago warning was given that the road must be made more passable. At yesterday's meeting @xeport was made that the condi- tion of the road had not been improved. A motion was promptly made to declare the toll gates abolished. After some warm discussion, in the main hostile to the turn- pike corporation, the motion was carried. The company is expected to resist any at- tempt to carry into effect the action of the Board. Trouble will probably be precip!l- tated if an attempt is made to remove the toll gates by force and the matter is cer- tain to.get into the courts. There are three toll gates on the road, one within Winstanley Park, one at, Har- mony station and one just outside of the Belleville city limits. Albout twenty-five years ago the first toll gate stood between the east end of the Eads bridge and Cahokia Creek. Mayor Bowman ordered it removed, The com- ry refused, claiming that it owned the highway through East St. Louis. Mayor owman sent a force of men with axes to cut it down and the turnpike people gave up and established a new gate outside of the city Hmits. The toll one way Between Belleville and East St. Louis ts 15 cente for a one-horse vehicle and 25 cents for a double team. Two summers ago the company caused a owl of indignation to go up by charging fcycles 6 cents each way. If the road is once thrown open it is not likely that the toll gates will ever be per- mitted to go up again. EXPANSIONISTS WON. High School Girls’ Literary Society De- bate on Imperialism. The 8t.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—"FEBRUARY 5, 1899 OF ISHBELLA How Cripple Creek's Great _ Geld Mine Was Located. BELLEVILLE MAN'S STAKE. BOBERT A. MOONEYHAM MISSED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Gave the Claim to His Uncle, Who Named It—It Was Sold for a Song and Now It Is America’s Golconda. Tf Robert A. Mooneyham of Belleville had held on to a little 6x00 slice of earth which he owned eight or nine years ago he would be many times a millionaire now. ’ The slice of earth was half way up the rugged front of Bull Mountain, in Colo- rado. It is now known asthe Isabella Gold Mine, and the dispatches of the past week have told how the present owners are tak- fing out the precious metal almost in solid chunks. Mr. Mooneyham staked the Isabella claim He gave it away in the fall of 1890 to his uncle, Daniel Threlkeld, now of Manitou Springs, Colo. Mr. Threlkeld gold it for $1600. The men who purchased a ee you for your labor# By the end of the year the young mar had saved up almost $1000. As Christmas drew near he became a littie homesick and prepared to journey back to Illinois or a visit. He had been employed 80 atead!ly that he had not found time to stake out a claim for his uncle, so he turned over to him the claim half way up the east slope of Bull Mountain. The uncle wanted to pay him for the work he had done on it, but he said: “O. never mind. If it pans out anything you're welcome to it.” It had always been Mooneyham’s ardent desire to become a lawyer. When he re- turned home his parents did not want him to go back to the life of the mountain camp. They placed before him the oppor tunity to study law. He embraced it, went to McKendree College at Lebanon graduated with honors an@ is now .one of the most successful] young praétitioners of Belleville. The year after Mooneyham left Cripple Creek his uncle went up and developed the claim enough to show that it was a good one. But he lacked means and when some- body offered him $1600 and a dozen head of horses for it, he accepted the offer. ,; Refore that he had named it the Isabela, after his wife, Mooneyham’s aunt. The somebody who bought it developed It further and a couple of years after sold it for $300,000 to a syndicate. Mr. Mooneyham forfeited claims by failing to work them, But Mr. Mooneyham is not losing sleep over thoughts of what might have been. There is a reverse side to the might-have- been picture. If he had stayed in Cripple Creek and held on to the Isabella he would very likely be a dead deputy sheriff now instead of a live millionaire. When he left Cripple Creek Sheriff Jack- son, the husband of Helen Hunt Jackson, had just been elected. A petition signed by nearly every man in Cripple Creek, and by many people of Colorado Springs, had been sent to him to appoint Mooneyham his deputy for Cripple Creek. During the next year Cripple Creek be- came a very disorderly place, and the man who was appointed deputy, after killing three men, was himself slain ih a dancehall] fight. It was young Mooneyham’s participation a ee _ PAA ~~ -_——_ _ —_—-- ere oo Re ee ee ee oe enegs 6 ee aare = & —— .. =~———_— = « ms -—_—- - ROBERT A.

Mr. Mooneyham was one of the first to reach Cripple Creek. The population of the town was less than a dozen when he ar- fived there. Among the few was a poor man named Stratton. He is now called Mil-' Monaire Stratton. . Mr. Mooneyham, then a boy of 19, had | deen sent to Colorado Springs from his | for the healing of his lungs. He was working as a carpenter at Colo- fado Springs when the news of the dis- covery of rich deposits at Cripple Creek first began to spread. Thereabouts little credence was given the tales. There was @ suspicion of “salt.” But working with young Mooneyham as @ lather was a lad named Marion Beshears. The boy's father had been to Cr@ple Creek and had seen enough to convince him that there were fortunes to be dug from rock- ribbed Bull Mountain and Mt. Pisgah. He was forming a prospecting party. He had taken a fancy to Mooneyham. He tn- vited the Illinois boy to go along. 7 ‘You will have enough to eat,” he said. and I will stake out a claim for you and Go the right thing by you.” Young Mooneyham agreed to go along. The party which set out shortly after for Cripple Creek was composed of Beshears, —. Pacman Mooneyham, Bales ‘and er. ey started early in the morning. and walked the % miles in one day.

A camp was regarded properly dedicated when one man had been killed. A man was not killed in the dgdi-. cation of Cripple Creek, but his blood war spilled and he came so near dying that the requirements were considered to have been complied with. A man named Glasspool had opened a hotel and saloon, Young Bales, who had gone to the camp with Beshears’ party, had trowble with him and in angalterca- tion in front of the hotel Glasspoo] struck him.. Young Mooneyham saw it, and as Pales was greatly outsized, he interposed. A man named Dennis, who was the terro of the camp, came out of the barroom and took the part of Glasspool. Bales procured a steel drill and struck Glasspoo] on the head, Dennis jumped on Bales and Moon- eyham jumped on Dennis. Dennis was a powerfu! man, but Mooneyham clutched his face with his left hand and twisting him partly around struck him square on the jaw with his right. The blow sent him rolling and tumbling down an eae. He did not stop plrouet ting until he ded in a heap at the bot- tom. The ridicule heaped upon Dennis caused him to leave the camp. Glasspool had fractured skull, but he finally recovered. Mooneyham became the hero of the camp. Mr. Mooneyham says his only regret is that his uncle did not hold on to the mine and reap the golden harvest. He would not exchange his family, his thhome, his profession and his prospects for all the gold tn the Isabella Mine, DR. BERNAYS’ PICTURE SUIT.

They all went out at once last Thursday and when they returned home in the evening the solid walls and the heavier furniture were about all that was left of the well-filled house they had left. During their absence burglars had gone into the house and taken away everything of value they could carry. The contents of every room were turned upside down in the search for valuables. The worth of the articles taken is upward of $500. The Ruebel residence is a one-story and basement cottage on the north side of the avenue. The house sets on the west lot line. There ts a yard in front, on the east side and behind. Thursday, Louls Ruebel, the head of the family, who is connected with the Crescent Manufacturing Co., at Ninth and Buchanan streets, was at his place of business. It was Mrs. Ruebel’s birthday. She and her daughter, Miss Laura, had gone out to Clifton Heights to visit Mrs. Schlueter, the mother of Mre. Ed Wenneker, wiiose birth- day it also was, and have a joint celebra- tion. The only member of the family left at home was Charles, one of the sons. At 2 o’clock he closed the shutters, locked all the doors and went downtown. He returned at a little after 6 o'clock and let himself in at the parlor door with a key. The room was partially tluminate by the electric light a few auufs away. Charles saw that the room was in con- fusion and articles and papers were scat- tered about the floor. He went to the sec- ond room and found ft in the same con- diteon. Going back to the front he saw a police- man approaching and called him in. They went through the house and found the same confusion everywhere. It was as though a lot of mischievous spirits had rom ped through the house, turning everything topsy-turvey. A hasty inventory was taken and a list of the articles supposed to be missing was given the policeman. Investigation showed that the burglars had entered at a side window, the shutters of which had been opened. The back door of the basement was standing open. It was plain, as the front door could not be un- locked, that the burglars had gone out through this door. It is certain they walked boldly around the house with bun- dies and baskets and left the premises by the front gate. A wodd shed occupies the full width of the rear the lot. Egress is through a door fm the stable. This door was locked. The burglars could not have climbed into either adjoining back yard be- cause a flerce watch dog is kept in both. When the rest of the family came home a more thorough canvass of the situat'on was made. It was found that all the jewelry, Silverware, bric-a-brac, ornaments, linen and clothing had been taken away. All of the drawers had been emptied and raked Charles’ tool box had Been brought up from the cellar and the locks cut out with a chisel when it was necessary. The hinges of the closet of a combination folding bed had been filed off. It was evident that fine discrimination had been exercised. Only the best of everything was taken. iad oi Saints BP ; iS A GUARANTEE TO EVERY PERS ‘ ON Suffering from Catarrh, Catarrhal Deaf- ness, Bronchitis, Asthma, Colds, Coughs and Hay Fever. — “AONE,” THE EW.

BOOTH-TUCKER HERE, JEWELERS UP NARS THEY WANT AUCTION SALES OF FRBE! Mail orders will be filled promptly. FAKE JEWELRY STOPPED. BILL’ TO STAMP GOLD PIECES. Members of the Retail Association Pre- paring Vigorously to Defend Legit- imate Business of Their Trade. The Retail Jewelers’ Association of Mis- sourl, which now numbers 0 active mem- bers, has, as @ result of its annual meeting, held last night, decided to take steps to push along several movements which af- fect the jewelry trade. The Legislative Committee reported hav- ing submitted a bill to the Missouri Gen- eral Assembly to regulate the stamping of gold to conform with the carat standard. The association has been making a most vigorous fight against the “fake jewelry auctions sales,” and as a result of the dis- cussion evoked Wednesday night, has de- cided to prosecute, where evidence of fraud can be proven, in a more vigorous manner, Acting on the advice of jegai coungel, steps will be taken to warn the public against the smooth-tongued orator of the red flag who glibly describes baubles which he dis- plays to a not critical crowd, telling that by force of circumstances he is obliged to part with them at a sacrifice under the hammer. The association will advise that patronage demand receipts of these auc- tioneers, so that the association may in- vestigate each sale, and where basis of ac- tion exists to prosecute. The organized jewelers are also endeavor- ing to terminate the plan of giving jewelry prizes, much in vogue among concerns which have schemes to catch the buying public. Persons are sometimes deceived as to quality, the members say, and a distrust is aroused that hurts legitimate jewelers. The cheapest and poorest stuff is usually sent to prize winners. Aa the mails are used, any one who feels that injustice has been done is asked to communicate with Secretary Frank W. Baler, so that the Postoffice Inspectors’ Bureau can be com- municated with. The association hag installed tte new of- ficers, viz.: O. H,. Kortkamp, President; George Hess, Vice-President; Frank H. Niehaus, Second Vice-President; F. W. Baler, Secre ; Herrthan Mauch, Financial Secretary; F. . Bierbaum, Treasurer. The new directors are Gerhard Eckhard, John Schmid, Otto Steiner, F. W. Drosten, William F. Kemper, Charles Derleth, A. Steinmeyer, Hy Loewenstein and J. Charlies Osterhorn. A banquet will goon be held. Owing to the death of the daughter of Herman Mauch, Chairman of the Eentertainment Committee, the previous arrangements were abandoned. The Dixie Flyer.

Among the depositions filed in Judge Fer. rises’ court yesterday in the divorce case of Harriet L. Stedle agalgst William H. Steele, was that of the defendant. Steele admits in his testimony that he employed male and female detectives to shadow his wife and report her conduct for him, though he denies he has been guilty of other indignities. Mrs. Steele charges her Lusband with un- becoml treatment. to the abandoned her there when she did not have a dollar.

CHRISTMAS OF THE’ SAILORS. An Entertainment That Enlivened the Officers and Men of the Iowa and Oregon. ~ Willtam Bender, Jr., general manager of the Western Brewery, at Belleville, re- ceived a letter yesterday from his friend, Fred Kean, of the battleship Iowa, Who is well known in St. Louls and Belleville. It was dated at Callao, Peru, Jan. 7. It stated that the Iowa and Oregon arrived there on Dec. % from Valparaiso. Through- out the voyage the sea was as calm as @ pond, He writes that Christmas was passed at sea, The ship’s chef made a large sea pie, and “‘with old horse and hard tack al] hands seemed to enjoy it,”’ he writes. Continuing, he says: “An excursion was gotten up by the Ferro-Carrill Central de) Peru to a township up the mountains. A hundred and fifty officers and men of the Oregon and Iowa went up and were treated to a fine dinner. “The next day we took in e bull fight. It is a mystery to me how any human being can like such horrors. Two horses and six bulls were killed. Should the bull toss the fighter about 20 feet in the air and maim him for life the bull gets the applause. *“‘We have had no mail since we left New SSconrrow.

LA LUCHA SCORES BROOKE. Charges That Caprice Sways American Justice as It Is Administered Throughout the Island. who are studying the Cuban question ex- Government would define its Cuban policy it would do much to ameliorate the feel- ings of unrest and fear and the lack of confidence which prevails among all ele- ments. Occasional scrapes of news in par- tial explanation of America’s course, they say, serve political operators with grounds of speculation and cause misleading state- ments to be made. . From the Cuban standpoint, the actions of the United States are full of mystery and evil portent, If the Government's pol- icy was more definitely defined, Cuba would know who is to pay the American army of occupation, and the statements to the effect that these moneys are being collected as Cuban customs would not evoke troublesome sentiments, as the re- sult of alleged oppression. La Iucha prints a long list of Cuba’s Ills from the pen of Gen, Enrique Collazo, from which the following extracts are taken: “The Treasury Department expresses the intention of giving an honest administra- tion, but it employs meh Who were used to the dishonesties of the Spanish regiment. and the Departrignt of Justice is adminis- tered as under Spain. We hoped, but vain- ly, that the Americans would teach us new and better ways. It was logical to be- lieve that they would break their old holds and build on methods prevailing in the United States. There laws based upon the demands of the people prevail, but in the American administration in Cuba caprice rules with the eword and Cubans are thrown ide and almost excommunicated. ‘The Cubans demanded with one voice the payment of their army, and the United States responded with insufficient charity and food. The United States. committee came to instruct us tn governing, but they will not let us try to show what we can do. They came to give us independence, but seem to prepare for annexation. We may eventually vote up on the question of an- nexation, but with the reins of government in the hands of the Americans there is lit- tle hope of a feir expression of the peo- ple’s wants. The centralization of power is established by the fact that Gen. Brooke, or the Washington Government makes the appointments. We are growing to be a nation of petty office seekers; we have no political per- sonality. The ways of the Americans are daily becoming more incomprehensible, We hoped to see the return of prosperity, but the country cannot pay even the reduced taxes demanded. “The variety in the rates of exchange of Spanish and United States money causes the Americans to complain that they are cheated. The Government employes are paid in large bills and cannot get small ones in exchange. Gen. Brooke may con- sider fixing of rates for equitable exchange without touching foreign transaction.” Maj. Gen. Ludlow yesterday wired Secre- tary Alger that the death rate for January was reduced 40 per cent below that of the corresponding month last year, through measures for the sanitation of streets and houses, Gen. Alger replied to-day as follows: “Your dispatch of yesterday is most grati- fying. Accept congratulations and keep the good work going.’’ It is announced here that negotiations are proceeding in New York for a comprom- ise in the litigation over the City Railway between the Harvey Syndicate and the American Indies Co, The latter organiza- tion in the meantime purposes to operate freight trains over the railway under the —— in the charter allowing outsiders to O 80. Much suffering exists among the dis- the Spanish army who are still in Cuba. They cannot find work and have appealed for reparation to Gen. Castellanos, who replied that they had no right to passage, and they are now appealing to the Spanish War Minister, begging him to send them home before they die of hunger. The announcement that Gen. Calixto Garcia’s body is being brought here on the United States gunboat Nashville is very pleasing to the Cubans, and prepara- tions are being made for the holding of impressive funeral services here. The City Council has decided that such action wil] be the best way of expressing the city’s and the nation’s sorrow and condolence. It is said that Gen. Ludlow will permit 500 Cuban soldiers under arms to enter Havana on the day set fof the burial, and these, with a detachment of American troops, will render militiary honors to the dead com- mander.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—Ned Hanlon, man- ager of the Baltimore, announced to-night that the deal whereby the cream of the Baltimore baseball talent was to be trans- ferred to Brooklyn had been as good as consummated: As things now are the un- | derstanding is that Ebbetts is to remain president of the Brooklyn club. Hanlon is to be manager. As for the division of the stock, the conditions all along have been that the Baltimore people were to have & per cent and the Brooklyn club 50 per cent. It was in the division of the Brooklyn part of the stock that a hitch arose, Of this stock Abell will hold the lion’s share, Ebbetts having agreed to part with some of his holdings When Byrne gets his $10,000 this week he will turn his stock over to Abell and the papers closing the deal will be signed. Hanlon left here for Baltimore to-night. He expects to be back on Tuesday. The manager said that he would take both the Brooklyn and Bal.- timore teams South about March B® for practice. The Brooklyns are to be matie up as follows: Kelly, first base; Daly, second base; Jen- nings, shortstop; Dahien, third base; out- fielders, Griffin, Jones and Keeler; pitch- i} hind the bat. ers, Dunn, Kennedy, Maul, McJames, Nops and Hughes. The catching department is in doubt. Hanlon is trying to make a deal that will increase the streneth be- He also wiil get Corbett if he can. McGraw will remain in Balti- more and manage the team. SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD. James Garwood, an Old Steamboatman, Committed Suicide. James Garwood, 71 years old, living with his wife in the second floor flat at 2606 Olive street, killed himself yesterday morning. About 6:15 o'clock the woman who occu- pies the lower flat heard Mrs. Garwood scream. She rushed ufetairs and found Mrs. Garwood almost in hysterics, bending over the form of her husband, who lay dead on the bed. 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 not come, She went to his room and found a ae ee Bree Seane a tee base HAVANA, Feb. 4.~prominent Americans | | press the belief that if the United States # Can be DOES Y our scal minutes she thought it strange that he did tee THE REMEDY IS FOR SALE BY ng Bout Louis After a Rattling Bout the St. Lou Boy Gets the Decision. The Business Men’s Gymnasium was well filled last night, the attraction being the 15- round go between Eddie Lally of St. Louis Lambert of Davenport, Io. ey A fun commenced with the four round go between Gabrilliac and Spider Kelly. There was no decision in their se. “Then Lally, St. Louis’ lightweight cham- pion, and Billy Lambert of Davenport, lIo., went into the arena. Before they commenced boxing, Prof. Mooney of the Business Men’s League had both men examined by the club’s physician, who pronounced them in perfect physical condition, Prof. Mooney also officiated as referee. The two proved willing fighters. They tapped each other hard from the sound of the gong In the first round and kept up a merry clip for the first four rounds, Then the pace commerced to tell, and they slowed up. In the first part of it hon- ors were very even. Occasionally Lally got in a rib roaster that sounded all over the ring. But only in that direction did he appear to have the best of it for the firet six rounds. Lambert showed up well, too, In the sev- enth round, but in the early part of the eighth he appeared to weaken, the body blows of Lally having told badly on him. In a series of blows showered on him in this round, followed by a clinch, Lambert fell, partly from the force of the blows and partly from sheer exhaustion. He got up after his first fall, made a weak rally, and then, after receiving a light tap or two, fell again. Before he had regained his feet this second time Referee Mooney had counted him out, There was considerable money bet on the fight, and a great deal of grumbling at Mooney’s decision, for after Lambert had been counted out he walked to his corner and then stepped through the ropes as though nothing had happened, and left the ring. He, too, was dissatisfied with the decision. In justice to Referee Mooney it should be stated that his method of refereeing fights is this: When either one or the oth- er of the contestants shows signs of weak- ness, and where it is evident that he has no chance of winning, Mooney believes that the contest should be ended then and there. In this way the brutal feature of one strong man pounding a weak one is done away with. The veteran Bill Clark, who saw the mill, said: ‘““Mooney’s decision was a good one. Lal- ly was much stronger than his opponent, and had Mooney allowed the mill to go on the ending might have resulted serl- ously to Lambert. He did well to stop the fight when he did. The two fought a very fast and game fight, and no one has a kick coming. Lally is a fine, strong young fellow, and a 10-round go between him and Harry Sharpe would be a very pretty thing to look at.’’ The crowd which saw the mill filled all the seats in the gymnasium, THE CANADIAN SKATERS.

SUNDAY MORNING-ST. LOUIS So » ESTATE NEWS, THE ANTICIPATION IS FOR A STRONG MAREET. A LOCUST STREET SALE. Back From Jefferson City—Agents’ Reports of Sales—Leading Trans- fers of the Week—Notes. The weather for a week or ten days past has been unfavorable to the real estate business, and yet there has been some transacted. Perhaps the most important event of the last six days was the sale, through Messrs. Cornet & Zeibig, of 23.9x M12 feet, with the old three-story brick building, 913 Locust street, adjoining the Public Library, to Mr. W. M. Blelock for $%,000. The grantor was Mrs. Marietta P. Turner, wife of T. Fitzhugh Turner. The purchaser intends to erect a new building specially adapted to his business. As the old residence is practically valueless the price of the ground was, by the sale, fixed ' at $1062 a front foot, or $9.40 a square foot. The demand for loans is good, but good loans at 6 per cent are not easily had, al- though there are some special cases where the security makes them safe. The ten- dency is strongly, however, to a lower rate of interest. (Considering that it is exactly midwinter the demand for rental property its quite good—better than it was this time last year. Taking it altogether the signs are fa- vorable for an improvement in business as the year advances, Back From Jefferson City. Malcolm Macbeth, President of the Rea] Estate Exchange; Judge Terry and Messrs. Lightholder, Ruiledge and Wolff have returned from their trip to Jefferson . City, and report favorably on the prospects of the various bills now before the Legis- lature affecting real estate interests. The House Judiciary Committee has reported favorably on Senator Moit’s bill allowing public gaies of real estate under execution, and by Commissioners and Sheriffs, to be made on the floor of Real Estate Exchanges in St. Louis and Kansas City. Mr. Handsome Home at a Bargain Price. The striking picture of a dwelling in the advertising columns to-day is of an at- tractive eight-room house with 2 feet of ground at No. 3488 Kads avenue, offered for sale by Messrs, Aiple & Hemmelmann for $3975, and on easy terms. The property is a great bargain at that price. To he able to buy such a place and in such a location for less than $4000 does not often occur, and any one contemplating the purchase of a home should not fail to see it. Messrs. Aiple & Hemmelmann sold a companion house to this one last week at the same price, and this will not be on the market long. So that any one desiring to acquire such a home should not delay in seeing the agents. No Stamp Necessary. In reply to an inquiry from Mesers.

The funds on hand, owing to there being no applications for loans, were or- dered paid to the matured stock. of the first series, which matured in 108 months, the stockholders receiving $280 net per Share, being the dues paid in for 108 months at $2 per month and the profit thereon, $74. terest, which was formerly 8, to 6 per cent. The directors of the association report the sale of 33 shares of stock this month. at $2 per share, in the July series of 1898. A vacancy on the board was filled by Mr. Geo, F. Ernst, manager of the A. Leschen & Sons Rope Co., caused by the resigna- tion of Mr. Fr. Louda, whose business re- quires his presence in New York City. The board also made a resolution to be passed upon at its next meeting, reducing the in- terest, which was formerly 8 to 6 per cent. The association is now issuing an eight page pamphlet showing its resources and ltabilities, and that it had earned on the balance of series in force 11 per cent inter- est on the investment. The last series of this association was opened in July, 1898, and the plan adopted this year by the board, allowing members to take shares and their first month’s dues and the back dues in monthly installments without fines. and entitling them to the accrued profits of the association on the stock for the full time, has met with considerable success. No new series will be opened until the end of this fiscal year in 1899. Most of the mem- bers whose stock matured in the first se- ries in 103 months have taken shares in the other seriés in force. The borrowers in the first series. paid but 31.3 per cent for the carrying of their loans. Over $100,000 worth of deeds of trust were released, making their homes free of incumbrance.

MONEY IS VERY PLENTIFUL. There Were Reactions in Prices of Se- curities the Past Week, but the Outlook Is Very Bright. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—According to trust. worthy estimates there have been sold in the New York market since the first of the year upward of $60,000,000 of American se- curities, Furthermore they have been prac- tically settled for in the foreign exchange market. After the very heavy remittances $4.8514. the way. So it is likely that any further rise in prices in the New. York market will brine further foreign selling of securi- ties. This is really a matter of no concern regards the market. The country’s ex- cess in January of merchandise exports over imports will more than make good the forcign selling of securities, and w:th the foreign exchanges in their present shape, there could be no more propitious time for the redemption of our foreign-held securl- ties. The foreign sell ng has already acted ns # brake upon speculation, which gave promise of running rather wild, hence its influence was salutary, The foreign liquida- tion of American securities will have no permanent effect upon the New York mar- ket, even should the large «mount absorbed be followed by a slow digestive process. While the drift of securities between New York and FRuropean markets is as n9- as ticed, it should not he overlooked that there are back currenis in this respect. Local capitalists with wide foreign ac- quaintance are in constant communication with friends in London and Berlin, who are inquiring into the speculative probabilities and the investment merits of special se- curities, and, as noted, the foregn financial press have somewhat changed the tone so long expressed in regard to American curities. The last matters are, however, interesting only as evidences of intelligent appreciation of the unique conditions pre- vailing in American trade and finance. The falling discount rates in London and on the Continent may bring speculative and even fome moderate investment purchases of American securities, but with monthly fa- vorable trade balances of $60,900,000 to $70,- 000,000 the International drift of eecurities must be in this direction. The most care- ful and -comprehensive examination of the general situation brings up perforce against the cheapness of money and the activity in trade. In neither respect are any changes to be noted, nor are there any In sight. The general diffusion of money throughout the country following upon the formation of the innumerable industrial combinations of the times was referred to last Sunday in this column, and the ex»o- Sition of the situation then made has brought to notice many illustrations of the same tendency, As was pointed out, these communities find themselves enriched, often unexpectedly, while the demand upon the banking facilities in interior cities is re- laxed by reason of the transfer of the man- agement of the business plants sold to the main New Yor: office. ce- manufacturing towns are rolling up their reserve cities, and the banks of St. Louls and other cities where there have heavy sales of local enterprises to Eastern capitalists are forced to employ their funds in the purchase of New York’s commercial paper or in the purchese of investmenets. been loaned here for four months at 2%; per cent. Additional downward upon the money market has followed the reduction in interest allowed by the local savings banks. While owing to the genera] prosperity prevailing the savings banks’ to- tal deposits probably show no decrease in the withdrawal of large amounts by a few persons has been offset by the deposit small sums by the many. There is no prae- ticable way of estimating the amounts withdrawn from the eéavings banks, probably placed in securities by rereson of the reduction in interest noted. but it is believed and credibly stated to have been very large. As regards the general trade situation of the c it needs only be said that in the dences the conclusions are most gratifving. Bank clearances are far in excess of all comparative periods, the Habilities involved in business failures are the smallest recor- study the traffic returns submitted in the past week by a large number of important railways covering the firat half of the cal year would conclude that the industry of the transportation is in a high state cf prosperity. In line with the stock market there have cotton, and in all three instances tha re- sults have been certainly due to technical instead of material or statistical causes. The decline in wheat was, however, fol- lowed by increased purchases for foreign account, and the week’s shipments of the eereal, including flour, are reported at the high figure of 6.500,000 bu. To some extent by the publication of the final estimate of last year’s crop, a harvest of 675,000,000 bu being shown. Statistically very bright for the country’s grain trade. An advance of ic a pound in cotton has been followed by a notwithstanding which print cloths have advanced itn sterling exchange, owing to the approximation of the New York and London money markets, and the freer offer- ings of gold in London on South African re- ceipts, About $1,000,000 gold has been shipped to this country this week. It is likely, how- ever, that there has been a heavy reduction in the amount of foreign exchange carried justified by the state of the international money markets. A reaction of really small proportions in view of the great January rise in prices has made many speculative converts ‘to the bear side of the account. There was a further recovery inthe stock market this morning, though the deaiings were characterized by a good deal of ir- regularity. A number of stocks secured noteworthy gains, amone them being Met- ropolitan Street Railway. Coneolidated Gas and New York Central. There nothing new developed in ‘the discussion regarding the course of these, stocks, granger shares were steady and moderate advances were scored in the Pacific ehares., Louisville & Nashville and the Southern Railway shares were in fair demand. The industrial stocks were actively dealt in, with Sugar Refining. the steel and wire shares, the Federal Steel stocks and Peo- ple’e Gas the features. Other strong stocks were Brooklyn Rapid Transit, C. C. C. @ St. L., Chesapeake & Ohlo and Third Ave- nue Raiizead. The London market for American stocks was somewhat above the local closing prices and there were fairly large buying orders executed here for for- eign account in the early dealings. There was a sharp decline in Lake Erie & West- ern preferred following the announcement of the passage of the dividend. The trad- ing seemed to be wholly influenced by the doubtful prospects for the ratification of the treaty of peace and to be governed chiefly by the expectations of a favorable weekly bank statement. These expectations were by no means real zed and the statement upset the week's calculations and forecast.

Wheat Off 6 Cents, Corn Lower Than Before the Late Bulge, dnd Oats Also Lower for the Week. WHEAT—The bulls have been kept on the run all the week, except those who trans- formed themselves into bears, and they #eem to constitute a@ majority. Bulls last week, after Monday, were as scarce as bears were the week before. Up to Jdn. 23 May wheat had been remarkably steady around 74@7ic for about three weeks. It was hard to get it below the lower point, Or above the higher, and the consequence was an exceptionally dull pit,. covering that period, with a very small volume of busi- ness, and no large transactions whatever. tog has been no complaint of duliness On Mongay a week ago, when conditions would have seemed to be the least oppor- tune for a bull movement, Wall Street be- gan buying wheat to beat the band. They were like ravenous wolves, rather than bulls. They could not get enough, and the consequence was a sudden rise in prices which sent May jumping up 1, 2 and 3 cents a“ day, 80 that on the fifth day of the bulge, the price Was up 7 cents from the previous Saturday. On Saturday there were indica- tions that the bulls were surfeited to signs of disgorgement, and there was a decline of 4gc, followed last Monday by a further drop of *ac. It wae not until Tuesday, however that the slump set in earnest. The Govern- ment’s final crop report. sent out after the Close of business Monday, showed just how inopportune had been the bulge, and the longs hastened to realize. The report not only sustained the original estimate of the yield, but exceeded it by some 30,000, 000 bu, besides setting forth that the area of Winter wheat sown was over 2,000,000 acres larger than was sown in 1897, and over 4,000,000 acres in excess of the acreage har- vested in 1898, thus predicting a stil] larger yield in 1899. barring crop damage. Even somewhat premature reports of damage by insufficient snow protection did not euffice to stem the tide, and May wheat went off hearly 3 cents that day, and kept on going down all the gain of the bull week was lost the next week, the decline for the close of business yesterday be'ng 6%@\% for May, and 4c for July. The loss on July was proportionately less only because previously more premium was on the May option than was warranted. Compared with Saturday week before the bulge set in prices are now only 4@%c for May higher. s Since the Government report was sent out every other factor has seemed to he bearish. For weeks the Argentine export- able surplus has been figured at anything from 45,000,000 to 65,000,000 bu, but still she shipped nothing, and the opinion obtained that the figures were grosaly exaggerated; that her surplus would amount to little more than her neighbor, Brazil. would take. Along in January Argentine was credited with 40,000 bu of the world’s shipments, and the next week she shipped «another 40.000 bu, making 80,000 bu from Jan. 1. But all at once this week Argentine comes to the front with 624,000 bu shipments, This is nothing remarkable for Argentine, nor was it as much by 50,000 bu, as she shipped the same week last year, but after so long holding her wheat back until] people zot to thinking she had none to ship it was im- portant as indicating that she is now ready to ship in quantities, and may be hence- forth deemed a factor in the situation. The week’s clearances were encouraging, wheat and flour being equal to 6,585,418 bu, against 4,997.572 bu the week before, and 3,635,721 bu same week last year. The clear- ances have been good right along, and at a time when some decrease might be expect- ed, they loom up almost as big as the big- gest of the whole season. This is the most encouraging feature—it is not the only one—since the decline set in. Naturally exporters were not buyers on the bulge, but with prices again down to a basis on which foreigners can do business, the de- mand is likely to keep up. But-after all, while prices may be kept from going ma- terially lower thereby, the export demand will hardly suffice to send them materially higher, with Argentine and Russia to draw from as a counter check if they go too high, especially since it is now estimated that hans—some 260,000,000 bu—and that 1 will show both reserve stock and visible supply largely in excess of the same time last year, after making due allowance for the weekly exports in the intervening period. Receipts at primary points con- tinue to come considerably in excess of same time last year, and the visible supply has been slowly but steadily catching up with last year’s figures. .The indications are that Monday will shOw Iittle change eithe: way in the visible for last week. Cash wheat, a little slow to respond to the advance in futures, finally advanced but not proportionately, going up some se all round, While futures advanced 4utble that. Millers held off, however, and the sample market was quite dull during the bulge. With the decline of ‘uture § goft wheats went down about 8e all round, und hards and springs, for which the demind was better, went off about 2c per bu, with better trade in all grades, Stocks in pubiie elevators, 1,189,000 bu, are about at a stand- still, the week showing an Insigniiicant in- crease of about 2,000 bu, CORN—The market was naturally af- fected by the slump in wheat, fully pro- portionate with the advance corn made. Corn showed more strength than wheit until yesterday, advancing a fraction on Wednesday, when wheat was off %c, and again aAvancing fractionally Thursday when wheat went le lower. The biggest lose for the week, until yesterday, was %@%c on Tuesday, when wheat was orf 3c, while no other day, up to Priday, waa the decline very significant. Yesterday, however, there was a drop of %ec, which, with the declines of the week, not only lost all the gain, but more, May closing yes- terday 2i%c off for the week, and %@%c low- er than before the bulge started. There has been up till now a stubborn bullish sentiment on corn all the way through, in spite of all bear arguments tending to show that conditions do not justify it. It is the more surprsing because there is a fairly good Western movement, and prices. are how some i@7e above this time last year. Day after day word comes of the great export demand. It is a cold day when New York does not report anywhere from 40 to loads, and sometimes they make It or 80. up well or less truthful report. The clearances while they qvernes Sr do not come up to ts lant in The week's clearances ; 635,781 bu, against 3,695,733 bu the week be- fore, and 4,105,000 bu same week last year, There has not been much feature to t ” market the past week except heavy ——s on Friday. There were rumors early 0 Wall «treet breaking in, but Wall street eeemed to be busy with its wheat deal, and there was nothing in the specuiative trading outside of the ordinary, or outside of the same traders whe are identified with corn in the pit.

This still leaves May fraction- ally higher than Saturday, Jan. 21. Cash oats remain strong. They are easier and a l.ttle lower than on the crest of the general bulge, but they remain strong, anil however light the demand concessions are not readily made. Receipts continue some- what in excess of the demand, public stocks showing an increase of about 50,000 bu for the week. Stocks are now 200,000 bu. FLOUR—The market remains in an un- satisfactory condition. Naturally buyers hold aloof on such a mere speculative bulge as the week before last, nor will they buy on a declining market until satisfied the bottom has been reached, and the wheat market steadies. In consequence of the un- settled wheat market .millers and flour men have been getting the worst of it, going und coming, and the complaint of dull trade, both export and domestic, is unil- versal. Most of the mills have been run- ing full time so far, but some shut down on red wheat last week, and some will start in half time this week, as stocks are accumulating in the face of the poor demand.

CHICAGO GRAIN LETTER.—Following is the weekly review of the market by J. Ff. Harris by private wre to J. W. San- ford: Chicago, Ill, Feb, 4.—Continuance of the l'quidation has been the feature in wheat. There were large clearances for the week, 68,595,000 bu, and elearances for the day, 824.900 bu. The English visible increased 422,000 bu, arrivals in the United K-ngdom for the week were 3,600,000, compared with 2,000,000 last year. The bull sentiment seemed to have completely disappeared. Everybody now is awaiting the appearance of cesh demand. There was some improye- ment in shipping eituation to-day. Sales from here (Kansas wheat via Guif) were 0,000 bu, and New York reported some Con- tinental demand. [t looks as if the market Wis dragging on bottom.

' MOST IMPORTANT MEETING. The Referee Sums Up the Question of Racing Control on the Eve of the Battle For and Against It. With thie week will end, for many months at least, the debate over the control of cycle racing. The National Assembly of the League of American Wheelmen will convene at Providence, R. I., Wednesday and on Thurs- | day will take up the question. There have been important meetings of the assembly of the wheelmen and ones at which momentous questions have been d-6- cussed and settled, but I take it, none more than the one which will be called to- ether this week. The meeting at Phila- elphia was famous for the adoption of the “white amendment,” the measure which ex- cluded negroes from membership. That question had been agitated by the South- ern divisions and the debate had been of the most lurid kind, and the whole league was stirred up over it. At that time all members had the right to vote in person or by proxy on amendments to the constitution in the “constitutional convention,” which met at the same time as the assembly and there were thousands of votes cast. The amendment won. At this same meeting the ch was made in the form of govern- ment of the league by doing away with the direct vote of the members-at-large and having everything settled by the assembly. At the Albany and St. Louis meetings “‘lo- cal option’’ on Sunday racing was the chief feature and both times the measure failed to s. At Albany there was a fierce tignt an Olitics had a great deal to do with the defeat. At that time Potter and Elliott opposed each other for the presidency, the ew York division backing Potter to a man. It was because some of the West- ern delegates, whom the New York men thought ought to vote for their man, and did not do so, that the Empire State threw its entire strength against “local option” and defeated it. At the St. Louis assembly the matter was fairly and freely discussed, and there wag neither politics nor bitter spirit connected with it, but, although a majority favored the plan, it failed to get the’two-thrds vote it required to pass it The Louisville assembly was marked by the brilliant oratorical contest between As- bury Park and Denver for the national meet, tn which the latter won. ’ the New York meeting that Howard E. Raymond's “Class B’’ rule was _ adopted, and at Baltimore that it was wiped out and W. assumed jurisdiction over riders. It was at the L. A. professional] But it will be seen that all of the above questions, excepting one, would have failed . to mark any assembly had the amendment to abandon the control of racing been pro- posed and adopted as far back as 1893. Up- on this all other questions relating to the subject depend. We cannot discuss a Rac- ing Board, the admission of professionals, Sunday racing or a national meet if we abandon the control of the sport. And that is why the assembly of this week will be the most important in the whole history of the League of American Wheelmen. If it es the amendment so that the control sili be relinquished, it will not only mark an epoch in the history of its own organi- gation and the sport itself, but will affect the character of the L. A. W. as an ath- letic body; in fact, will remove it from that field altogether and cause the sever- ance of the relations between it and the A. A. U., the wheelmen’s associations in other countries and athletic bodies generally. The League will then have for its objects the improvements of the highways, secur- ing and protecting the rights of wheelmen and touring. This question, then, goes down into the -very foundation of the organization. and, if adopted, wil] eliminate the most promi- nent one of its @easons for existence, and compel it to develop the others to take its place. The amendment its offered in earnest this time and it will be discussed on its merits. Happily there will be no political deals and the meet question is out of the way, so that the delegates will vote for what they think best and not be influenced by the trades or “arrangements”’ of leading peliticigns. When the amendment was first propose€ at Baltimore in 1896 only the New York dele- gation voted for it. It was not offered in od faith and I have told the story how otter proposed it so that he and Elliot might have something to fight about. But now it is proposed in good faith and I do not know of a fairer chance that it cowld have for a calm, cool discussion. The advo- cates may present their views and the op- ponents theirs without running into any ledges’’ made by politicians. gut I would that I could reach every delegate to the assembly and say to all of them one word of caution. Remember that by this amendment you can relinquish she control of racing and affect all parts of the league,but you can never reconsider and re- Bain the control if you find you have done wrong in abandoning the sport. I am in favor of abandoning th but I wish that I could be Presta anne assembly and hear the debate.

He would only remove every restriction that is aos upon riders, that is all. If it been any one else than Eck he would have advocated simply the repeal of all rules, but Tom wants at least a frame- work with which to fool the public. He is not happy unless he is fooling some- Listen, these are a few of his suggest}! : Remove the restriction as to Sur day rece vot in divisions that want it removed; wipe out the clause forbidding six-day races: strike out the clause compelling an amateur to submit his expense account; let men be re- instated without the recommendation of the Racing Board; raise the limit of ama- teur prizes; let riders go for records when- ever they wish to; reduce the number of witnesses to a record trial; permit any kind of pacing; do away with registration: al- low match races for any size of purse and permit men to demand bonuses for ap- pearance, That is all very well for the racing m but will Tom please tell me where the pu lic will be benefited by knocking down these safeguards?

A weck ago last Friday was one of the days when the new plunger made his presence decid- edly felt, for he took from the ring on that day nearly $9000. Mr. Hill is the very last person one would “size up’ as a man of sporting tendencies, Quiet of address, but extremely quick to pass judgment on a discussed question, he carricg none of the brands of the turf. He does not confine himself to horses, but hag speculated in sugar and wheat, his last operations in these lines having been in onolulu during November, where he cre- ated quite a havoo in the island sugag market. Mr. Hill is not a student of form, as- he claims that if form told all the story there would be no betting. He relies principally on information and uses eve means to gather the best in that line. “Phat he hea been successful on most of the t race- trams of the world is proof of his judg- men Always preferring to remain tn the back- ground, he seldom places a bet himself and in fact carries on many of his principal operations without visiting the track. In fact, but few of the frequenters of the turf would know the daring speculator if they saw him. Under these conditions itt is practically impossible to follow his play but from now on when the rin ther track is hard hit the books will] be to try and see what the Australian was on that day. One of Mr. Hill’s§ strongest against the ownership of horses by a bet- ting man; for, says he, “if I can get as good, if not better, information rogaine a stable than the owner can, others do the same with my stable if I one; so you see there is no advantege being an owner.” All around the country the officers of thé St. ouls Fair Association are being praised for their fine showing in the way of entries. Dally Racing Form says: “Th entries to the St. Louls Stakes which ¢ Jan. 14, flatteringly attest the popularit of the track and its management wi Western owners. In aggregate shee exceed those of last year. The entries all around are eminently satisfactory and St. Lo are bound to witness fine racing durin- the progress of the meeting of .

BLACKSTONE IS OPPOSED. ——— He Does Not Consider the Offer of $175 and $200 Per Share Fair. CHICAGO, Feb. 4—T. B. Blackstone, President of the Chicago & Alton road, is- sued a circular letter to the stockholders to-day which is likely to create a sensation $n railroad and financial circles. The cir- cular will accompany that sent out by J. J. Mitchell, submitting to the vote of stock- holders the proposition to sell the road toa eyndicate 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. Biackstone’s veto that prevented the sale of the Chi- cago & Alton to the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf Road. The present proposition may be more favorable from. several view- po'nts, 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- @tone points out that the road has been througheut the whole period of business depression paying 7 per cent dividends; that the earnings at the present time would justify the directors in paying 8 per cent, but due consideration for the physical con- dition of the road has induced them to pursue the conservative policy of reserving large amounts for its improvements. The eircular further deals with the fact that the bond issue of the road will mature in less than three years and ean be refunded for less than one-half the present rate of fnterest, 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 probability, but a certainty, ‘that the prop- erty, if managed as it has been, will then be able to pay stockholders 15 per cent on their holdings. SEABOARD RUMORED SOLD. Memphis Route Said to Have Bought the Air Line. ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 4.—Among the many fumors current in the South regarding the sale and consolidation of the railroads Ii: one to-day, to the effect that the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis “Aailway has purchased the Seaboard Air 1 4e and wil reach Birmingham from Atlanta by usin: the Hast & West Railway. This line run: from Cartersville, Ga.,. to Pell City, Ala and would leave a gap between Atlanta anc Cartersville. This point, however, is reach ed by the Western & Atlantic, with whom the Seaboard Air Line already has a work ing arrangement. The Georgia & Alabama, which is generally supposed to have Dee: acquired recently by the Seaboard, is ls« mentioned in the deal. The purchase which would give a direct line to the At lantic Ocean from the west, is a connec- tion long desired by the “Memphis Route.”’ The rumor does not receive much credence tn Atlanta, nor is it believed that the con- ference at Aragon yesterday between C H. Cappa, general freight agent of the Sea- board, and Maj. A. Pope, general freight and passenger agent of the Georgia & Ala-~* bama, Had anything to do with it. How- ever, President Washburn of the “Memphi Route" was recently in conference at Mont gomery with the officials of the Georgia & Alabama, and to this railroad men attach much significance. DINNER TO MEN OF PEACE. Commissioners Who Made the Treaty Honored in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Fed. 4.—The mtm- bers ef the American Peace Commission were the guests here to-night of the Union League ata dinner and reception tendered them by that organization.

The dinner, though a very elaborate affair was of a rather a private nature, covers being laid for only 68. The reception which followed the dinner was however attended by over 6000 mem- bers of the club and invited guests. The dinner party included the President and the directors of the Uunion League and dis- tinguished guests who had been especially invited to meet the Commissioners. There was no formal speechmaking. Jo- seph G. Davidson, President of the Union league, read a letter from President -Mc- Kinley regretting his Mability to be pres- ent. in which the President said: “Too much honor cannot be paid to the eminent gentlemen who will be your guests next Saturday evening for the able, states- maniike negotiations conducted by them at Paris, which resulted in the signing of a treaty of peace honorable to both countries. As I have long enjoyed the friendship of all the Commiseioners and have veen closely associated with them in public life, I have uncommon regret that J cannot join in the dinner given in their honor. “To the guests assembled please convey my most good wishes and belief that the great work that the Comm'ssioners have achieved will redound to the good of the Nation and of humanity.” NEW WIRE NAIL COMPANY.

The Soctaltsts held their city convention at Walhalla Hall last night, and after nam- ing their nominees put forward radical demands in their platforms. Their only municipal platform was enun- ciated as follows: We, the Socialist Labor Party of St. Louis, in convention assembled, reaffirm our allegiance ty the national platform and to the principles of the Socialist Labor Party of the World. For im- mediate relief of the working class we offer the following platform: 1. Absolute self-government; abolition of the veto power of the Mayor; all measures to be sub- mitted to the ple for thelr approval or disap- roval; the people to have the right to initiate egislation by petition. «. We demand that the city of St. Louis obtain possessfon of all loeal railroads, ferries, bridges, gas, eleetrie light and power, heating and cold storage plants, and all industries requiring mu- nicipal franchise or supervision; and that all these utilities be furnished to the people at cost, the employes to operate. the same co-operatively un- der control of the municipal administration, and to elect their own superior officers, but no employe to be discharged for political reasons. * 3. at no land now owned or. hereafter ac- quired by the City of St. Louis be sold, but be used for public purposes. 4. That the city establish and maintain pub- lic lodging houses, an orphan and foundlings home, a home for abamdoned women, and hospitals, in Yhiniy populated neighborhoods, with all modern improvements, 5. A well-regulated system of food, milk, dairy, workshop and factary inspeetion, for the health of the public and the safety of the employes. 6. All city work to be given directly by the city without the intervention of contractors or middle men; that eight hours shall constitute a legal work day, and that $2 a day sball be mini- mum wages. The city shall furnish permanent employment to citizeus not employed under private sources by establishing pub.ie works, the same to be operated cooperatively under the control of the — oe administration. ‘. We demand that the city establish b- lic markets, fuel yards and other nh ae ng we the distribution of the necessaries of life, to be sold at cost. 8. That the city establish and maintain public bath houses in suitable places. Y e °"6 opposed to the so-called municipal the property class. 8S would accrue to 10.

Dieckman was secretary and Ed Brendel Sergeant-at-Arms. When the school ticket came up for adop.- tion delegate Frey suggestetd that a clause should be incorporated requiring that union labor exclusively be employed. His propo- sition was defeated. The House of Delegates candidates mist be nominated by Socialist ward clubs, hence the names presented were only those al- ready ncminated, who were put forward for endorsement. When the Fourth Ward was called for there was no response. ‘There's no trouble there. That’s Jim Spada ward,’” remarked Chairman Poel- ng. GALLED JADE THAT WINCES. — ee Se Omaha School Board Will Investigate the Man Who Denounced It. OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 4.—Member J. E. Van Gilder of the Omaha Board of Education, who charged that certain members of that body had been paid money by the Ameri- can Book Co. for their votes in favor of the adoption of the geographies published by the concern, is to be investigated him- selm. Van Gilder’s charges were consid- ered by the board last night and this after- noon and nothing of a startling nature was brought to light. At Monday night’s meet- ing of the board Mr. Van Gilder will be called on to explain the charge that he has used his position to secure an indirect contract for furnishing the public schools of Omaha with coal, of foisting on the schools coal of a quality inferior to that required by contract and of reaping tie benefit therefrom.

Several Pullman sleepers have been pro- vided for the officers and their families. They leave New Yorke harbor on the evening of Feb. 9, and are expected to ar- rive in Manfla March ®. They will remain in the Philippifies an indefinite period. Remaining at Jefferson Barracks will be three companies of the Seventh Infantry and 250 recruits. Other troops are expected to arive from Savannah in about W days. The other companies of the Twelfth are at Fort Riley. All the soldiers were busily’ engaged yes- terday packing their belongings and load- ing their trunks on the fteight cars in waiting at the Barracks. The freight train pulled out at 8 o’clock. There was not @ sign of furniture in the officers’ houses, and nearly all of them, with their families, spent the night with friends in the city. Col. Smith says he ts sorry in one way he yom to leave St. ‘Louis and happy in an- er. “T am very fond of travel,” he said, “and I think the trip to ‘Manila will be enjoyabie for us all. We expect a tremendous differ- ence in the climate o fthe Philippines and that of St. Louis, however. Just think of departing from zero weather to live where the thermometer is lowering at from 80 to 100 degrees in the shade. Many of the boys are glad of the opportunity to see the world on the other side of the Pacific. “Of course the women folks and young ones will have to rough it like the rest of us, though I anticipate a pleasant voyage, One thing is certain. The food will be first class and we will have comfortable bunks, “Part of the Sixteenth Infantry will also be aboard the Sheridan bound for Manila... The transport vessel is large and will easily accommodate 2000 passengers.”’ Numerous friends and relatives of the Twenlfth Infantry boys called at the Bar- racks yesterday to bid them good-by. WOMAN DIED FROM EXPOSURE. Delia Kelley Escaped From the Female Hospital and Was Frozen. Delia Kelley, an old woman whose home was at 216 Market street, died from ex- posure to the cold while she was being ta- ken to the City Hospital in an ambulance yesterday morning. She had been a patient for several months at the Female Hospital. Her suf- ferings became so intense Friday night that she fell into delirilums. She imagined somebody was trying to do her great bodily harm and that the only way fn which she could save herself was by escaping from the hospital. She watched cunningly for an opportunity to leave the building with- out being noticed. It came shortly after midnight and she slipped softly into the streets. She wandered aimlessly about the city in thin clothing until 5 o’clock in the morn- ing, when she appealed for aid at the home of August Uthoff at 2511 Sublette avenue. Mr. Uthoff took her into a warm room and made her as comfortable as possible. He then summoned a hospital ambulance, but the poor woman died a few minutes after she had started on her wearisome ride, UNDER TWO FLAGS. Canadian Cadets March With Union Jack and Stars and Stripes. TORONTO, Ont., Feb. 4.—Cheering crowds lined the streets when the Toronto cadets, 6&6 strong, preceded by their fife and drum corps, playing national airs and carrying flags, marched to the Union Station to-day where they took a train for Florida. The Pullman car in’ which the cadets travel was draped with flags, the Union Jack on the one side and the Stars and Stripes on the other. As the train pulled out the boys were given a rousing send off. The party will arrive in Chicago Sunday miorning, where arrangements have been made for a big reception. They expect to reach Tampa on Tuesday morning. The boys are commanded by Maj. Thompson. BREATHED OF A TEAKETTLE. Child Dies of Unusual Cause in a Long Island City. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

MAYOR WANTED A STATEMENT. @fORB FACTS PRESENTED FOR THE MAJOR COMMITTEE. Galoon Keepers and Grocerymen on the Witness Stand—Examination of the Excise Commis- sioner’s Books. One day last week—it was Wednesday, to be exact—Mayor Ziegenhein met Louis Alt, Chief Deputy in Collector Wenneker’s of- fice, in the unfinished east corridor on the Grst floor of the new City Hall. The corri- dor adjoins and is not separated from the indoor court, where workmen are daily em- ployed and the blizzard winds sweep in from the street and howl. The place is big, bleak @nd barren. One shivers therein unless garbed in an overcoat. It is a col place. ‘Whether the ‘Mayor met Alt by appoint- ment or accident is probably magerial but certainly tinknown. “Louie,”’ said the Mayor, ‘“‘could you get for me an approximate statement of what the report of Wenneker’s collections for the fiscal year ending Apf?fil 13 next will be?” Now Alt and the Mayor are warm per- ‘gonal friends. They drink out of. the same etein—politically, No one offers this as an explanation for’ the Mayor's request of a clerk in the Collector’s office for a state- gent of the office business, made in that out-of-the-way place, for no explanation fe necessary. | Ziegenhein is Mayor of the town, and hae | wer to pursue his own ends along any Ene of conventionality or eccentricity that be may desire upon the political map. “Louie’ replied that he would “‘see,” and the Mayor. told him to “look.” “Touie’ reported the meeting to his chief, Mr. Wenmneker, end asked for ad- wice or instructions. That official informed his deputy that the Mayor was entitled to the information he sought, which was true, no matter what the result might be. Alt prepared the statement; it was roug as to detail, but accurate as to figures. It @ehowed the collections of Wenneker for the fiscal year of 1898-99 will be about $800,000 in excess of those for the fiscal year of 1896-97, made by his predecessor, who was Ziegenhein. “The Mayor was surprised when Alt gave him the statement,” said Collector Wenne- ker yesterday. Alt was asked whether the City Hall gtory that the Mayor emitted a dramatic exclamation were true. Al: said he had not heard of the Mayor’s studying for the dra- matic stage. He thought the suggestion that an ordinary indiv-dual might utter a dramatic exclamation under certain condi- tions ill-timed. He said the Mayor made mo comment when the statement was pre- sented. Mr. Wenneker explained that the reason why his reports of 1897-98 has not been ublished its that certain of his accounts r that period cannot be closed until the Supreme Court rendere a decision in suits filed by the Schoo} Board against his office during Ziegenheih’s term as Collector. To-morrow will be devoted by the Major Committee to either the Boiler Inspector's office or to the Excise Commissioner's office—or both. The morning session wil) not begin until 11 o’clock:, The opening ‘was fixed for that hour to give Sergeant- at-Arms Rixey and his assistants time to subpena he witnesses wanted. In the Excise Commissioner case they will be @aloon keepers and grocers. Price and Nuttall are the only witnesses to be heard in the other case. If it is found in the morning that Ac- countant Kaths has concluded his examina- fon of Price's books his report may be re- ceived during the day. The course of — will be determined in the morn- g. Accountant Deidescheimer will to-morrow n the examination of Excise Commis- sioner Higgin’s books. ' ‘ The letter from Attorney McDonald to Wiggins, which Diedeschiemer bears, is not @ demand nor an order for the Excise Com- missivner to permit the examination.

This company is the Elkins-Widen- er syndicate, which has been negotiating for the St. Louis works. Col. Wetmore of St. Louis, who has been in New York, City for several days, has left his hotel, presumably for St. Louis. All information as to when he went or where he has gone was refused at the ho- tel last night in New York, but from a high employe of the Union Tobacco Co. it was learned that he left for St. Louis early in the day. * It is the belief of the officials referred to that an agreement of sale was reached by Col. Wetmore and officers of the Union To- bacco Co., and that when Col. Wetmore reaches St. Louis he will lay before the shareholders the details of the proposition. Strong support is given to the report in Wall street that the Union Company con- templates absorbing the Liggett & Myers works, for no other reason is known in the street,why the increase of capital stock should be made.

The directors as a body are opposed to paying $150,000 toward the construction of the bridge and they instructed their at- torney, Milliard Watts, to use every legal means possible to carry out their wish. President McMath of the Board of Pub- lic Works received all the records on the Case yesterday from City Counselor Schnurmacher.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—FEBRUARY 5, 1899 HARRY YOCUMS HERS AN INTERESTING QUESTION OF LAW rOR THE PROBATE COURT. WHO WILL RECEIVE THE ESTATE Daughters of Capt. Lloyd G. Harris the Only and Nearest Kin to the Late Mr. Yocum and His Daughter. All hope that the Paul Jones yachting Party will ever be found has been aban- dened. It is generally believed now that the ill-fated little craft either was blown into pleces by an explosion in its fuel tank | or foundered in a storm in the Gulf of Mexico and sank with all its passengers. Pieces of wreckage, which have been identified as parts of the Paul Jones, have been picked up, and searching parties have found articles of wearing apparel which are known to have been the property of the ladies of the yachting party. Such evi- dence has convinced everybody who has | appearance that Harry Yocum and his as- The Union Tobacco Co. | valuable estate, which cannot be adminis- faggnme bee filed with the Secretary of State tered until | | brought timely as- | read the Post-Dispatch’s story of the dis- sociates are dead. But are they legally dead? This is an important question, as Mr. Yocum left a the Probate Court decides whether he Is dead at law. The mere disappearance of a man does not justify the courts in taking charge of his estate and dividing it among his heirs, after his first obligations are paid. Indeed they never resort to such measures unti there is absolute proof that the owner of the estate is dead. Just what constitutes such absolute proof must depend largely upon the circumstances of every case. The only presumption the law indulges concerning a death, which cannot be proved by credible witnesses, is that, when a man disappears from his usual haunts and is not heard from for seven years, he is, for all legal purposes, dead. If a husband leaves his wife and she does not hear from him for seven years and has reasonable ground to suspect he is dead, she may marry again without being guilty of big- amy, although the husband is really living. But every case must be controlled by its own facts. The presumption of @eath in- seven years is not invariable and the courts do not follow it strictly. If the facts of a case are sufficient to convince a reasonable person there has been a death, the courts are influenced by them. “I would say that where the clircum- stances are such as to lead irresistibly to the conclusion that the man, whose estate is sought to be administered, is dead, the, courts will be guided by them,” said Judge Leo Rassieur, who has just completed a four years term as Probate Judge. “The courts must necessarily be cautious in such matters, as here is always Public Ceremony at Which Rev: Mr. Spencer Presided and There Were Many Pleasant Features. The best man beat the bridegroom et the Volunteers of America wedding Friday evening. Before Edgar Copeland could kiss the |newly made Mrs. Copeland, Martin White, the groomsman, had plucked stolen sweets amid the cheers of 300 auditers in whose fears the smack rang. It was the first wedding of Volunteer Sol- Giers, an organization led by.the son of Gen. Booth, founder of the Salvation Army. Great preparationg had been made at ‘the. Armory, 195 Franklin avenue, ¢o that the occasion should long live in the memory of the happy young couple. The hall was rt deg pga wy mottoes had been sus- rom ® walls a vO secretion. re ev. J. . Spencer of People’s Church, 81 North , lleventh Street, had promised t e the first nuptial knot, and he was on the platform ready to lend his clerical graces. Pastor Spencer comes from a sec- tion of the country—the Rocky Mountain District—where pleasantries are appreci- ated, and he quietly plotted with Grooms- man White to get the first bridal ketss. It was arranged that the full Presby- terlan wedding service should be read, and when the “Amen” was reached White was to get near the bride so thit he coulé kiss her at the opportune time which custom “The brid e bride, formerly Miss Mae Hodgson of Chicago, looked radiantly pretty when Copeland put the circlet of gold on her finger. White edged nearer and nearer. AS Dr. Spencer took a long breath prior to Saying “Amen,”’ White took the cue and kissed thé army bride. Copeland flushed and then smiled. He was No. 2 and enjoyed the situation as muchas the audience. Miss Kate Dace, the bridemaid, follow with a sisterly kiss. Before the ceremony Lieutse, Cross, White and Little sang “Keep the Old Ark Mov- ing. Capt. Hays also sang several solos. Finally a prayer service was held. Pas- tor Spencer spoke earnestly t6 his hearers, A traveling man named Hawes, who on several occas'ons had lost his sample case, his grip and his job owing to inebriety, an- -nounced tn broken tones that he had de- termined to lead a new and betterilife. He would henceforth seek other pursuits or eave the temptations of a traveling life that he could not overcome and work with th@ Volunteers and the men and women a danger that the estate of a Iliv- ing man may be administered, and that would be very unjust. Probate Judges will not act except in the clearest cases. When they are in doubt about the death of a/! man, who has simply disappeared and is, supposed to be dead, they will fall back upon the rule of the law that requires the disappearance to continue for seven years before a presumption is allowed to arise that he is dead. But, while they will re- spect ‘this rule, they are given full discre- | tion in such matters and are not bound to proceed in a worn groove if the evidence demands that a purely empirical rule be ignored. ‘‘Now, In the case of Mr. Yocum, there can be no doubt that he is dead. That the Paul Jones is under the waters of the Mexican Gulf is established by pleces of its wreckage that have been found. If it was wrecked at sea it is a reasonable pre- sumption that the lives of its passenger were lost. Under these circumstances believe the Probate Court can safely ven- ture to administer Mr. Yocum’s estate.”’ Cases where letters of administration have been granted on the estates of men who have not been seen to die, but of whose death there is such evidence as to convince a reasonable*man, are plentiful. The case of Cherubino Dell Angelica, a citi- zen of St. Louis, who was a passenger on, the La Burgogne when it went down off Cape Sable July 4, 1898, is in point. His es- tate is being administered, although no one saw him die. The circumstances cause a presumption to arise that he is dead. The estate of John E. Carpenter, who left his home on Olive street and mailed to his wife a letter Jan. 0, 1897, informing her that he intended to jump in the river, is also in charge of the Probate Court. It was held that his failure to appear again after he had written the letter was evidence that he had carried into execution the threat which it contained. Probate Judge Henderson gays he will not act upon the Yocum estate for several months, but that if at the end of that time there are no new developments in the case he will appoint an administrator of the estate. After the letters of administration are issued another interesting point thay arise— that of survivorship. Miss Florence Yo- cum, Mr. Yocum’s daughter and only lineal heir, was a member of her father’s yacht- ing party. She was lost if he was. Both met death in the same disaster. But which died first? That question must be answered before the heirship to the property is es- tablished. If Mr. Yocum died first, then the property would go to Miss Yocum’s heirs. If Miss Yocum died first then the property would go to Mr. Yocum’s heirs. The heirs in either case may be entirely different persons. The civil law which prevails in all the Continental states of Europe makes sur- vivorship in a common disaster a question of age. If two persons, one under the age of 15 or. over the age of 60, and the other between the ages of 15 and 60 perish in an accident together, the latter is presumed to survive the former, because he natural- ly has the greater power of endurance. If two persons of the same age, one a male and the other a female, perish together, the female is presumed to die first. The Common Law, which holds in Eng- land and in most of the Untted Sates, pre- sumes that, when two persons perish to- gether, they perish simultaneously. If they are father and daughter, the latter can take nothing from the former by inherl- tance because no time in which a right may pass intervenes between the death of the persons. But this presumption is not conclusive, It may ‘be rebutted by positive evidence that one survived the other. So far, no other heirs to the Yocums have been discovered, but the daughter of Capt. LAoyd B. Harris, the lumberman. The are said to be the next of kin of both Mr, and Miss Yocum.

Kern for a Settlement of the Cherokee Claim Attorney Fees. J. Milton Turner began proceedings in the Circuit Court yesterday afternoon against Robert H. Kern to recover $37,222.20, which, he alleges, the defendant owes him for certain legal services they performed together. The pleintiff states that he, Moses Whit- mire and the defendant prosecuted a claim against e United States Government on behalf of the Cherokee Indian Nation in 1806 and procured a judgment for their cli- ents for $992,000. He says they were allowed $126,666.60 as attorney’s fees, which sum, by agreement. was to be divided among the three attor- neys, he to receive a larger share than the others because he had discovered the claim while he was connected with the American State Department. His share, he claims was $42,222.20, but Mr. Kern him $5000, reducing it to $37,222.20, which, ‘he alleges is the amount now due him. A call was made at the home of Mr. Kern last night, in order that a statement might be obtained from him, but he was reported to be out of the city, CASHED ANOTHER’S CHECK.

Palmer of Illinois, the amount being reduced from $100 to $5. The re port says of Gen. Palmer: “Nearly always an office holder, and al- ways strictly honest, he finds himself now, in his eighty-second year, retired to pri- vate life without means or income, brok- en in health, blind In one eye and rapid- ly losing the sight of the other.” The report then refers to Mr. Palmer's service at the head of the State Pension Committee, his liberal treatment of the old soldiers, and yet his opposition to “large sentimental pensions based on social posi- tion and political pull.” Under such circumstances, the report states that $50 per month is all that Gen. Palmer himself will approve. Accompany- ing the report are letters and affidavits showing Gen; Palmer’s feeble condition.

He could not obtain leave of absence, but was rushed through the United States straight to Manila. If he could have received leave, they would have been married before he went.

Then he sought to be ordered to San Francisco on Quartermaster’s duties there or as Quartermaster of one of the transports. But again he failed. Then it occurred to him to ask Miss Smith to come to Manila. He spoke of it in several letters, and after many con- sultations with her parents Miss Smith decided to go to Manila. She could not go alone, so her mother said she wished to see Manila and that she would go with her. They left St. Louls last Monday even- ing at 8 o’clock. They arrived in San Francisco at 8:45 Thursday morning. A few hours later they boarded the steamer Rio de Janeiro, which will carry them to Hong Kong, via Honolulu and Yoko- hama. At Hong Kong Mrs. Smith, Miss Smith and their escort, Col. McGinnis, will be met by Lieut. Whitworth, who will ac- company them on the remainder of their journey. Lieut.-Col. Smith, the prospective bride's father, has held his present rank but a short time. His salary is not princely, and the expenses of this wed- ding would stagger many a merchant whose income is larger. Counting the cost of Miss Smith’s journey to Manila with her mother, her mother’s return ‘to St. Louis, and the bride’s trousseau, the bill will not fall short of $1500. “I don’t know who will perform the ceremony or where it will be,” said the bride’s father. “My wife and daughter are devout Catholics, and as they arrive at Hong Kong in the midst of Lent Emma and Mr. Whitworth cannot be married then without a special dispensa- tion. Ifitcan be obtained in Hong Kong they may be married there. If not they will either have to wait until after Lent or secure the dispensation in Manila. There are always any number of priests around who will be able to marry them. I don’t see what differenée Lent makes about being married, for some people might get married simply to do penance. “Yes, Emma took her wedding gown with her. It was of white silk, with a trailing skirt and a low waist which is quite fluffy in front.” (By which description it is to be pre- sumed that the waist is trimmed with lace. The sleeves are long and come to a point on the back of het hand, and are finished with lace. The skirt has a small QL demi-train. A veil of white tulle will fastened with a wreath of orange soms.) ‘“‘Whether Emma will have bride or not depends upon the circum The wedding may be very quiet or it 6K be public. It is likely that it will mot occur until after Lent. Mrs. Smith w was then a private. Later he was raised to First Lieutenacy, and in 1898 was ree ommended by Gen. MacArthur for ery and was breveted Captain, - Each time the Lieutenant and Smith met they liked each other and more, and in 1897, when Col. was ordered to St. Louis, they engaged. They looked fondly for ber, but the war with Spain put am to these hopes, for a time at least. a few short weeks their separation be ended. » a | een ADOLPHUS DOLPHUS BUSCH of St. Louis has A purchased the celebrated Connolly mansion in New York City, and will tear it down. In its stead he will erect a palatial residence. The Connolly mansion is located on the high banks of the Hudson River, at what will be One Hundred and Eighty-first street when the town grows up that far. From 1867 to 1871 this old house was the favorite resort of the ringsters who looted New York, headed by “‘Boss” Tweed. The house was built by Richard B. Con- molly, known to his confreres as “Slippery Dick,”” who was Comptroller of New York during the infamous Tweed regime. Tweed assisted in planning the house, and supplied many details which made it artistic and up to date. On one occasion Tweed and Connolly drove up from the City Hall, and on en- tering the grounds noticed a workingman erecting a statue. “That is Mercury, the god of merchants and thieves,"’ replied the workingman. “Bully!” said Connolly, ‘put him over the front door.”’ Of course, the wine cellars of the house received much attention. They are 30 feet deep, and so vast in extent that the present occupants, after 30 years’ interval, sometimes find jelly and other stores hid away. The stables, too, had room for 2 horses, and the horses to fill the room. The house is in fair condition, and below Stairs, where the butler’s quarters were, are still to be seen the ranges, the closets, the wide passage ways, the dumb waiters for sending viands to the pantry above, and all the conveniences of a neat dwelling. There are in all 25 rooms, surrounded by a balcony on which Tweed and the Con: qly brothers used to smoke while their friends were opening wine. Surrounding the Connolly mansion was @ wrought iron fence, 10 feet high, em- blazoned on which was the Connolly “coat of arms."’ On the stone pillars of the fence are big cannon balls, dug from the ruins of old Fort Washington. Besides the coat of arms, got from no one knows where, the Connollys in another re- spect imitated the great of the earth, They had their private chapel, like the Howards and the Tichbornes. It still stands at the side of the house, its beautiful stained glass in good condition. The window pictures of the Christ and the Magdalen were executed in Genoa by _Vaine, a son of Vaiano or Vajano, the _FPilorentine. The ceiling of the chapel is Gecorated in this artist's best manner. ‘@rities have it equal to the zs in the churches Milan, free ; v, ~ * Vaiano’s; best work La OA, PEIN Ie te oF ‘ Bt any ag rong om ° Pa ok a Pa 4 ; a% LM again open. eae a xs Pa FLT: : ~ } sak 4 £ Rp Ree a, Theaters ag I BUSCH HAS BOUGHT A MANSION ON THE HUD IN WHICH BOSS TWEED AND THE CONNOLLYS MADE MERRY, 3 3! a = a ee eS | \ iy t ene ; bars 4 4 ; ette | ; sane .

Pacific Ocean is unlike any other place in the world. Life there is one delicious dream throughout the year. The serenity of the natives has been disturbed only once in many months. That was when they heard of the Spanish-American war— half a year after the battle of Santiago. The white inhabitants of the island, mostly Frenchmen, are excitable, and for a while, a month ago, there was a great stir, and many settlers and natives fled to the mountainous island of Maria, 20 miles away, on account of the boisterous conduct of American and British sailors in the har- bor. Life in Tahiti is almost ideal. To those who have visited this coral-reefed spot there lingers forever in the memory a soft, sweet haze of shifting light and shade— a wilderness of happy silence and ever- lasting ease. Think of a generous reef-bound expanse of clear, -transparent water, in whose limpid depths swim myriads of finny dwarfs dazzling the changing colors of the dying dolphin. Below them a garden of coral—the roses of the sea—blossoming ina thousand tints. A long, low stretch of beach, bordered by tall cocoanut trees, palms, and evef-blooming bushes. Long rows of cheerful cottages, almost hidden by the spreading branches of the bread fruit trees. Tall mountain peaks, rising until they are lost in a lacework of clouds. Brawny men darting here and there in fruit-laden canoes, and bevies of dark-eyed That is Tahiti as seen from the side of the in- coming ship—the most exquisite, fascinat- ing and gorgeous spot on the face of the earth. Robert Louis Stevenson visited the island, and he and other writers have asserted that nobody ever spent a day in Tahiti who did not leave it with regret. Tahiti lies somewhere in that mysterious part of the South Pacific where two days are rolled into one in order to get aright the conventional calendar; where to-mor- row becomes to-day with a subtle charm that is almost overwhelming. You go there TT? little island of Tahiti in the far -. by a little white brig from San Francisco, which skims over the waters of the West, taking up the best part of a month before landing you in this world of idleness and peace. ‘ Life in Tahiti is the nearest approach to the ideal in all the world. Outside of its principal city, Papeete, which is the commercial center of all the islands in the Society group, of which Tahiti is one, the natives pass their days ina listless dreami- mess, at peace with themselves and all the world. Fancy being in a land where money fs spurned. I once had the audacity to offer a Tahitian a dozen dollars for stay- ing at his home, eating his food, and talk- ing him nearly to death, revealing to his __wntutored mind the wonders of the United States, and to my surprise he threw it to the ground, having been greatly in- sulted. Much more than has been written has been heard about the lovely Tahiti girl. Tall, languorous, with the modesty of a in her Mother Hubbard gown and her flower- Wreathed hat (with these two articles the ‘attire of the Tahiti girl ends), with her long black hair, glistening with cocoanut oil, hanging to her waist, she is one of the most attractive of her sex. Her eyes are black, her countenance is expressive and though the warm sun has tinged her cheeks with a hue of brown, her complexion is as clear as the sky. Best of all, she owns her own little home, where roses always bloom and the bread fruit tree and taro plant grow'in profusion. A certain acre- age of land surrounding it is hers also, and she is absolutely independent and can do exactly as she likes—and she does. Every night in Papeete scores of girls and men come down the byways leading to the market place, where they congregate to sell their strings of flowers and shells, and to join in the daily festivities. Fin- ished with their evening meal, they come to gossip, dance and make merry. Around the great fountain, throwing its silver bub- Dies to the big red stars, they chant their soulful music to the wailing’strains of an accordion. Bursts of bibulous hilarity come from the Spanish-like edifices that sur- Found the market place. Shy damsels Promenade with the visiting Europeans, the officers of the French men-of-war, the ar- ray of municipal officials and their own brawny lovers. So the evening passes, in melody and love. Then the curfew on the little white Catholic church tells that the hour of 10 has come, and the great mass of merry- makers suddenly stop their buzzing pleas- ures, and silently file down the long lanes along the beach and through the cocoanut Groves to the rows of thatched cottages. Red and radiant the mellow moon fills the air with a magic light. The dead silence filled with the heavy perfume is broken Only by the unceasing pounding of old ocean against the barrier of coral, send- ing a hollow, rolling boom over the pallid Sea. One by one the lamps go out, the mosquito nets are spread around the bed- sides, and Tahiti is asleep. In Tahiti the conventionality of intro- duction is unknown. In Papeete, the cap- ital, where the foreign consuls reside, a certain form of society is kept up, re- sembling in many ways American customs. But out in the districts, out in the deep valleys by the rivers, where the cocoanuts grow, and the vanila and coffee planta- tions thrive in the sun, there is where the visitor banishes his foreign customs and becomes a native. It is not customary to wait for an invitation before visiting a Tahitian. Just go. Walk into his planta- tion, and up to his door. Be greeted by the host himself—brawny, muscular and smil- ing—with outstretched hands. He will call all his family and all his neighbors to see how he has been honored. He will give you the best chair, and tell his boy to stand by and fan away the robust mos- quito. He will get you young cocoanuts to drink. and ‘grapes that would pale those of Hamburg hothouse fame, and when you have been refreshed he will show you to your room, and tell you to lay your Amer- ican clothes aside, and to dress in Tahiti This consists of a sugarcane hat; a white shirt, and a pareu—a piece of col- ored DY nt about four feet square, which is wound around the waist. Once in Tahiti garb the charm of Tahiti begins to dawn. Once in this garb, lying under a leafy mango tree, listening to the brook murmuring softly as it winds its way through the underbrush to the sunlit sea, watching the deep red flowers drop from the branches of the faruna, and hearing the plaintive song of a Ta- hiti maiden born to waste her time away —and you don’t care if the expansion treaty reaches to the stars or if Buffalo Bill is elected President. The subtleness of the warm fresh air and the odor of the ever-blooming flowers seem to drive all thiughts of worldly affairs away. It is a glory of absolute contentment—unless you are bitten by a centipede.. The native has no stove, but does his cooking in an oven made by hot stones. A layer of these stones is placed on the ground, and the edibles laid on them, gen- erally a sucking pig, ‘several chickens, breadfruit and taro plant. These are cov- ered with stone and a fire is built around them. When the stones are removed the dinner is cooked to a turn. A chicken is always roasted without its head and claws being removed. The head is laid on the breast and the claws are drawn over so as to clasp it down, and when the fowl is served up juicy and hot, it looks as if it had died a peaceful death. Fish is generally eaten raw, with a sauce made of grated cocoanuts and limes. The idea may seem barbarous, but the dish is very palatable; still it must be remem- bered that the fish caught around Tahiti, where the sea is transparent for many fathoms, are different from the fish of the dull green waters of the Atlantic. Tables there are unknown, and the feast is spread on the ground on a cloth of fresh, green leaves. The diners sit on mats (tailor fashion, if possible) surround- ing the feast. The head of the family thanks God in fervent words for the bounty —a custom never forgotten in this far- away isle—and then a black-eyed girl passes around with an armful of wreaths of red and yellow flowers, and crowns each one before the meal is served. Knives and forks are practically unknown. With a rib of the succulent porker in one hand anda small raw fish in the other, some curried pawns spread out on a leaf, with a chicken wing, a slice of taro and a collection of tropical frits awaiting their would envy the diner at Delmonico’s? The drink is the cool water of the young cocoanut, drunk from the shell, sometimes flavored with a dash of black Tahiti rum. After such a meal there is nothing to do but to sleep. Sleep over, a swim in the river, then a long walk into the mountains or a sailin a canoe among the coral reefs. Night in a native village is generally spent in driving to some big swimming pool. Swimming in the darkness is a peculiar yet a pleasant pastime. Or else the villagers gather round, and, sitting in one big group, sing for hours and hours their native songs. They have no musical instruments to add the touches of harmony, and yet their voices mingle so beautifully in all the great shades of song, from recurrent min- ors to a hundred chords, that they sound like a mighty human organ played without hands. And all this costs nothing. All this life of idleness, pleasure, good food, love, and music is simply the friendship of the Tahitian given to the visitor from the for- eign land. If he did take money what good would it do him? What could he pur- chase to add to his acme of idealism which his environments have created? When you are going away simply whisper ‘‘Marura”’ —‘I thank you.”” If you want to par- ticularly honor your host just kiss his wife and all his daughters, and pat the sleek coat of his mosquito-bitten dog. Flowers and songs follow you as you drive back to Papeete; other natives come to meet you by the roadside, and ask you to stop and accept their hospitality also with hopeful smiles. Who would not? fashion. COCK FIGHTING teenth United States Infantry, now stationed at Ponce, Porto Rico, has written a letter to a friend In the United States, giving his impressions of our new isiand, the gambling spirit which prevails there and the native fondness for cock fighting and similar sports. He says: “Porto Rico, in common with other coun- tries, has her peculiar passions, amuse- ments and pastimes. Gambling runs in the Diood, and is not a statutory offense, ex- fept as regards the celebrated game of *monte,’ and is not regarded as a vice that may lead to ruin. They pursue their games, both men and women, amid much dispute, animated by undying hope. The stakes are emal) but interesting. The loss of a dollar Gemands a veritable oratiog in explanation.

As for the motley assemblage, no- where else on earth can you see the in- most workings of the gambler’s soul more fully exposed than in the features of the spectators, As there are preliminaries to all battles, these combats are no excep- tion, but are often protracted to annoying extent. Yet the sight of the birds seems to rouse the latent passion in each bosom and the place fills with tumultuous cries. Bets are freely offered on al) sides, a shake of the finger from one opposite and the bet is accepted without a word being ex- changed. The bets are taken among a veri- table pandemonium of sounds, the birds are pitted and all but their owners retire from the enclosure. The birds commence fight- Ing as soon as they are placed on the ground and the now silent crowd with out- stretched necks gaze intently upon them. Not a sound is heard but the blows given by the wings of the birds, but a lucky gash from the spur of one sets all voices again going and odds are freely asked and taken. “The bets are paid without the slightest reluctance, for to repudiate a gambling debt _ Would destroy the reputation of the lowest turn—who , days!

One year ago, when the rush set in for the Klondike, the regulation price for packing from Skaguay and Dyea to Lindeman was 50 cents per pound, the cost of transporting 1000 pounds—which is far below the average taken in by minefs—over this short part of the journey now cov- ered by the new railroad would be $500.

He married a daughter of Judge ‘lopton. The story of his connection with the bank Mr. Chambers had no money to epeak of. His father’s wealth passed away with the Civil War. Dr, Baldwin, a prominent citizen of Montgomery, greatly admired young Chambers. One day he sent for him. Dr. Baldwin was president of the First National Bank. “T want you to become a director of this bank,”’ he said to Chambers. “I haven’t the money,”’ was ‘the reply. It was necessary that each director should own $1,000 worth of stock. ‘“That’s all right,’’ said Dr. Baldwin. ‘“‘I will advance you the money.” And so he did. Chambers became a director of the bank, and was soon made its president. Mr. Chambers was appointed Chief Jus- tice of the Samoan Islands by President Cleveland at the request of Mr. Herbert, and hag held the position ever since, is unusual. JAPAN'S XMAS. APANESE little folks know nothing of J the mysterious joys of Christmastide, but the name of Hotei, a celebrated priest, who was kind to children, signifies to the Japanese boys and 2«girls, in @ measure, what Santa Claus does to Young America. Hotei is represented with an im- mense sack, gathering good things for his young friends. He is said to have eyes in the back of his head, and to be able to see around corners, thus finding out whether the l.ttle ones are good or naughty. The Japanese New Year was formerly a moveable festival, like that of the Chinese, but it is now celebrated on a date corres- ponding to our first of January. This is a day of universal rejoicing with both old and young. The ceremony of -mame-maki, a bean throwing, is a lead_ng feature in the preparation for this holiday. There is a superstition prevalent among the Japanese that there may be evil spirits in the house, which must be driven out before the dawn of the New Year. Accordingly, on the last ngeht of the old year, the house is ewept and cleaned, and the windows and doors hung with ferns. Then the house-father arrayed in his very best clothes, goes through all the rooms; the little ones of the famiiy, undismayed at the thought of possi. ble hobgoblins, skipping gayly after him. He has provided himeelf with a quantity of dried beans and these he throws into the corners and recesees, crying aloud: “Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi.” (Demons de- part, good luck enter.) The young folks join joyfully in the cry, frolicking and laughing till the tour of the house is com. pleted, — RBAT tracts of land in our Western (; States—hundreds of thousands of square miles—may be redeemed and made to flourish by means of food plants transferred to their soil from South Amer- ica. Dr. D. G. Fairchild of ‘the Department of Agriculture has gone to South America to search of these plants. According to Prof. N. L. Britton of Columbia University, Dr. Fairchild will make a careful study of South American plants of all kinds such as can be grown in thie country. Prof. Britton said: ‘“There is a vast desert in Chill, similar to the deserts in this coun- try, where various plants of great use to civilization flourish. We believe that these plants can be transplanted to our deserts here, where the same conditions obtain pretty much as in the Chilian desert of Atacama, and these immense stretches of unproductive land will be cofverted into tracts of great fertility.

It is a low plant like buckwheat and is cultivated at high altitudes. “This plant is unknown in this country, but we believe fit can be grown everywhere in the high altitudes in this country, where no other kind of food plant will flourish, and also in Alaska.

MISS NINA WOODS REID of Nashville, Tenn. 999:3339333939333C6GCEECSERECE CCH MISS CATHERINE GRANT of Oklahoma, City, O. T. CHANGES IN WOMEN’S NAMES. HERE are styles In which a woman signs her name just as there are styles in everything else; and if they have changed less frequently than have the fashions in dress, carpets and wall pa- pers, they have changed no less surely. In times past women not infrequently sub- scribed themselves by using the initiais, one Or more, as the case may have been, of their Christian name: but since women have entered so extensively into the profes. gions and employments, and have become accustomed to handling business correspon. dence and signing checks, M. Smith and E. J. Jones are rapidly giving way to Mary Smith or Elizabeth Jamison Jones. Changes in the character of the names " themselves are no less observable and ) equally interesting. There seems to be a a from fancier names, such as Beatrice, Panty, to the Mary, Mar- Dlzabeth and Katharine of our has become fashionable. Nor are diminu- tives as popular as they once were. In this direction the influence of higher schools and colleges for girls has been exerted to excellent purpose. The Katies, Lizzies, Bessies, Sadies, Nellies, Annies and Sallies have been banished from the college cat- alogues, the names appearing in their original form. Neither are pet names and perversions in good taste. One cannot im- agine a girl graduating from Bryn Mawr College and subscribing herself Maymie or Maybelle; and the Normal Schoo] girls who, some years ago, were perfectly willing to have Lovie and Birdie appear in the orna- mental text upon their teachers’ certi- ficate hardly have their duplicates in the school to-day. These changes in girls’ and women’s names may be unimportant, but they tend to show that in the smaller things, as well as in dress, in education and in work, the changes have been accomplished largely the influence of greater common Miss Frances Roots, eldest daughter of the late Col. Logan H. Roots, is the reigning belle of Little Rock, Ark. She has been elected by the Carnival committee Queen of the Mardi Gras Carnival, February 13, 14 and 15. be HE following is a good hair tonic. there is any dandruff it removes “a It is also cleansing to the scalp and invigorating to the hair roots, and so brings a more luxuriant growth and makes the bothersome tag-ends cease ‘their falling. Forty-eight grains of resorcin, one-half ounce of glycerine, alcohol sufficient to fill a two-ounce bottle. If the hair falls very badly, apply with a soft sponge, so as not to irritate the scalp. Olive oil, when used as darken blonde tresses. FOR REMOVING FRECKLES. The best and least harmful cure for freckles is one ounce of lemon juice, in which 15 grains of borax has been dissolved. Apply this with camel’s-hair complexion brush and smear on cold cream after the lemon juice dries into the skin. The sim- ple practice of never washing the face after coming in out of the wind or sun, but applying a face cream instead, will, in time, send the freckles away. Powder should be used liberally to protect the com- plexion. FOR SUPERFLUOUS HAITR. The lotion for superfiuous hair, 1 ounce ammonia, 6 ounces peroxide of hydrogen, will bleach the small pests, gradually dead- ening them, though I really cannot promise a permanent cure, as the hairs may come again. However, if used all the time, it will make the blemishes less noticeable. TO CURE MOTH PATCHES. These worriers of women’s souls can be removed by electricity or taken off by a system of persistent irritation, applying first lemon juice, then peroxide of hydro- gen, and then cold cream, over and over again, and all the time bruising the skin slightly, so that it will peel off. However, unless the disordered liver—which causes these mottled spots—is made to do its work properly, the blemish is quite likely to reappear either in the same spot or elsewhere. BBAUTIFUL TEETH. Beautiful teeth add greatly to a woman's attractiveness. Whenever the teeth are in- clined to be yellow all powders containing soap must be tabooed. Tepid water in which are a few drops of tincture of myrrh makes a pleasant wash to use after each meal. A simple powder made of three ounces of finely powdered magnesia and one ounce of orris root is very nice. There is nothing more beneficial to the gums than rinsing the mouth with diluted listerine. TO MAKE THE HANDS SMOOTH AND SOFT. For this purpose there is nothing nicer than the beautiful, fragrant and delicate composition called almond cream (creme d’amandes). To use it: First dip your hands in a basin of water and then take a small massage for the scalp, will not be likely to - portion of the almond cream and rub to a lather. ‘Rub it well into your hands be- fore you wash it off. This composition prevents chapping and will remove rough- ness, TO PREVENT GRAYNBSS. Old age does not cause grayness. It is generally some disease of the scalp. The following shampoo has been tested and has never failed: Whites of six eggs; beaten to froth. Apply to hair little at a time until the scalp is well saturated. Take a bar of pure soap and rub it over the head five or six times. Have a gallon of warm rain water and rinse the hair well. Dry with towel, then wash and comb before it dries. TO HAVE HAIR THICK, SOFT AND LOSSY. About once a fortnight boil for half an hour or more a large handful of bran in a quart of soft water. Strain it into a basin and let it cool till it is merely tepid or milk warm. Rub into it a little white soap, then dip in the corner of a soft linen towel and wash your head with it thoroughly, dividing or parting aside the hair all over €0 as to reach the roots. Next take the yolk of an egg (slightly beaten in a saucer) and with you fingers rub it well into the roots of the hair. Let it rest a few min- utes and then wash it off entirely with a cloth dipped in pure water and rinse your hair well till the yolk of egg has disap- peared from it. Afterward rub it @ry. FOR THE THRETH Brushing the teeth at night with milk of magnesia neutralizes acid that forms in the mouth. My old Southern mammy’s recipe for the complexion was a glass of hot water, with a pinch of fine table salt; its effect is shown by the utter lack of pim- ples, smoothness of skin and brightness of the eves. EXCELLENT ALL-AROUND ADVICE. For a good complexion begin with plenty of baths of warm water and a good soap composed of one and a half pounds of oat- meal, four ounces of powdered castile soap, eight ounces of Italian orris root. Put in cheesecloth bag and use as wash cloths. Then for a lotion to rub on face and hands, 10 cents’ worth of glycerine, the yolks of two eggs and half a glass of water shaken well together. Then three or four times a week rub on a little white paste without oil or grease, which opens the pores and causes perspiration. For the teeth use pul- verized charcosl] and myrrh. Bright eyes are natures’s gift, but can be kept bright by keeping the system in good order. EXCELLENT. Just before retiring give the face a hot steaming between Turkish bath towels dipped in hot water, then apply to the face the following: Two ounces of strained honey, two ounces of lemon juice, four PRACTICAL HINTS FOR THE TOILET. & ounces of glycerine. Mix well before using and rub well into the skin. In the morning wash in cold soft water, using unperfumed soap, white castile being preferable, then rub the face thoroughly dry. I have used this receipe for years. TO FATTEN YOUR FACE. One part lonoline, one part oil benne, one part spermacetti, one part cocoanut oil, 2 parts egg albumen, one part alcohol, hot water sufficient to absorb. Heat and beat while warm into a soft, velvety mass. When applied it dries at once. BREATH OF VIOLET TOOTH POWDER. E'ght ounces of orris root, eight ounces precipitated chalk, four ounces of pulver- ized castile soap. Stir them thoroughly un- til mixed. In a bottle labeled violet per- fume have a mixture of two drachms oil of lemon, two drachms oil of bergamot, two drachms oil of cloves, one drachm oll of neroli. Shake thhese oils well together, pour over @ teaspoonful and a half of tooth powder, stirring again so that the perfume may be thoroughly mixed through the pow- der. Pass the powder through a patent flour sifter to complete the evenness of the mixture. Breath of violet tooth powder is a harmless, cleansing, saponaceous denti- frice, with the true odor of violets, and will keep the teeth pearly white. SURE CURE FOR CORNS. Soak the feet well every other day in very warm water. Immediately after each soaking take a dull knife or nail cleaner and peel—never cut—a little of the top off the corn. Continue this treatment until you get down to the little dark spot; then take a dull, pointed instrument and, hold- ing the toe or foot very tight, simply dig down with same until you get it out. This sounds very painful, but js not nearly as much so as cutting the corn, which latter never cures, only relieves. After you have removed all toughness rub the parts well with cold cream or vaseline for a few nights and the corn will not appear again. If you are careful you need never cut the skin at all, and this treatment will never cause the corn to bleed, but will simply cure. Four years ago I tried this same treatment and have not had a sign of a corn since. TREATMENT FOR THE FEET. For ill-shaped and tired feet bathe In tepid water and apply while hot tallow flavored with rose water. PERMANENT CURE FOR BUNIONS. Place bandage around the foot over the bunion very tight; carry one end of band- age up around the great toe, forcing it out from the other toes toward the inner part of foot a litthe more eac h day. This treat- ment if persisted in for a week or two, or, ‘f bunions ere very bad, a little jonger, will cure the cause of bun.ons, namely, en- larged joints from ill-fitting shoes. Ban- dage can be worn very comfortably in the shoe. w is good dialect, restrained rhymes. “ S.8:8:e- e's es "asa as.

HEADACHE RELIEVED. The Numerous Causes and How a Cur: Can Be Effected by Simple Means. Bv Dr. A. H. Sippv. 4154 Morgan Street. PADACHE is perhaps ‘the most common of all the minor ills which afflict mankind, and also perhaps least understood, Trregular habits constitute one of the chief causes. Lne The man who eats regularly and judiciously, who to and hours, works, takes exercise and number of hours, and otherwise adopts regularity of habit, is not liable to suffer from headache, because his digestive appara‘us will be in good working order. There are innumerable causes of! headacne, ey well aX numerous varieties of the affl ‘tion itself, of differert degrees of intensity. The eating of even a banana between meals, when not hungry, will sometimes provoke a sick headache. Any un- usual or sudden excitement. a fit of anger, a sudden jar of the spinal columr dué to a mis- step, a-fall, a blow, strain of tne eyes by the glare of sunlieht, or snow, or artificial light, such as the footlights of a theater. confinement in a badly ventilated room, cold wird, a change from the usual daily routine, nervousness and a score of other simple causes will produce the same effect. Some hendaches affect the back of the head, in others the pain is in the forehead, high up. or about the eyes, but whatever the primal cause, the final and immediate cause is the con- gestion of the blood vessels of the head. Some thheadaches are net symptomatic of any deeper trouble; others, especially those of period- ic recurrence, frequent'y are. In the latter case the primal cause must be sought and removed to effect a cure, but even then, if from constipation, indigestion or Other diseased condition of any pari of the body, it is not necessary for the victim to continue to suffer until the cause is removed. Nobody should take sedalitive powders without having consulted a phwsician, because these pow- ders depress the heart's action... No, person with a weak heart can take such a drug with safety. The physician, knowing his patient's condition, will prescribe a heart stimulant with the nerve eeaative, to counteract the bad effects of the lat- ter. Nor should the victim of headache caused by eonstipation or indigestion resort to purga- tives which simulate the liver temporarily, but do not remove the cause, but rather aggravate it, demanding larger doses at more frequent inter- vals, When one has a headache prompts him to place his and compress it firmly. relief. Frequently a firm will give immediate relief. the sufferer by some one has been accounted for on the theory of hypno- tism. This may be true in some instances. in which case the desired end being obtained. it is needless to comment on the means. But the lay- man in thue manipulating the skull sometimes succeeds and sometimes he fails with the same subject. When he succeeds it is because he has accidentally stumbled upon the treatment resort- ed to by the osteopath—that is, in compressing the skull his digits have encountered the proper blood vessels and nerve centers. The two hands should be placed on either side of the the hase of the skull and pressed, the thumbs resting immediately below the temples and the second fingers, being the strongest, pressing on the two sides of the neck at the base of the skull. Frequently a mere mo- mentary pressure, with a gentle lifting motion of the head, until the face is fully upturned, will give cumplete relief. The treatment may be self- administered, but generally better results ensue ifthe manipulation is done by another. CONSUMPTION’S DANGER. By Dr. M. C. Starkloff, Health Commissioner of St. Louis. I’ THE people of St. Louis fully realized the dangers of consumption in this city they would take greater pains to keep it out of their homes. People say to me: “If consumption gets into my home it will not be my fault, for I take every precaution against ge, ** But he doesn’t take every precaution against it, and I don’t believe there are 20 families in thé city who do. He permits the carpets in his house to be swept, aml sweeping earpets is a petnicious praciiece’in a big ity full of consump- -tion. IT wish I could impress upon every house- wife in St. Lofis the necessity of following fhis a@cdvite: Carpets must not be swept. Vhen a carpet swept the dust is either set afloat in the air or through the fiber of the carpet, after every footfall, Dust is the great conveyer of the little germs of consumption. A carpet should be cleaned with. a damp cloth. The cloth would collect all the dust in the carpet without destroying its nap. It would also keep the dust out of the air. After the cloth is run over the carpet it should be dipped in boiling water and dried in the sun. This is something we must come to before long. It is not as easy as sweeping, but it is a necessity and will be recog - nized as such by the people of the city before they have conquered consumption. : VALUE OF SPINACH. ROMINENT specialists claim that spinach is the most precious of vegetables, on account Of its medicinal and strengthening. proper- @ies. The emollient and laxative virtues of epin- @ch, owing probably to the salts of potash it con- ta‘ns, have been long known. It is excellent for the liver, and as a consequence freshens the com- plexion. Some vegetables contain a relatively large dose of tron. According to Boussingault, the proportion of 0.00074 of fron in 100 parts of French beans, 0.0083 {n 100 gh: of lentila and spin- ach vety much more. The chemist, Bunge, has Proved that spinach and yolk of egg are propor- tionately richer in digestible iron than all the most renowned ferruginous remedies. Its great value and growing importance is shown in the fact that spinach is already an active ingredient in several new and very sealable ‘tonics. at stated certain roe hed arises 4 SiePepar ii . natural instinct to the forehead nature's cue to pressure of the skull When this is done for eise the happy result outstretched and patient's head, and temples firmly com- is it has caught driven intto or there to rise GASTRIC PROSTRATION, HEN the stomach is in a healthy condition and able to digest food, that con@ition will , be indicated by a sense of hunger: if the system is in a disordered estate, as that of a per- soh suffering from fever, no food is relished, and the patient will often refuse it entirely.

HOPHEIMER, late attending sur- geon at the Harlem Hospital Dispensary in New York, says: ‘**Ua grippe’ is an infectious disease whose spe- cific germ is a bacillus possessing the power of ecgmentation or subdivision, thus multiplying with great rapidity When a favorable medium is attacked. It is taken into the body from the at- mosphere through the nose and mouth. Its action causes a congestion of the air passages (nose, threat and lungs), similar to acute catarrhal con- ditions. ‘But, further, it causes gevere constitutional disturbances, which manifest themselves by neu- ralgias, muscular pains (myalgias), fever and chills, and causes congestion of various internal organs, leaving the patient debilitated with weak heart, neurasthenia and frequently with weak- ened lungs and kidneys. These latter conditions are often aggravated by remedies injudiciously taken during the course of the disease, and fatal terminations are sometimes traceable to the use of drugs which are catculated to further depress the already weakened system. “Bearing in mind the leading symptoms and ten- dency of this disease, it is wise to avoid any drug which will weaken the heart’s action or depress the patient’s vitality in any way. Most drugs used to relieve pain are depressing in their after effects. Most drugs used to reduce fevers are weukening to the heart's action. Many people take upon themselves the risk of dosing with phenace- tine, ant'pyrim, antifibrin, etc. These drugs should only be used under competent medical advice, for cases of dangerous syncope have followed upon the careless partaking of these remedies. “Among the drugs practicaliy harmless and at the same time efficacious can be mentioned qui- nine. This’ @rug in small doses strengthens the heart’s action and reduces the fever, besides act- ing a an internal antiseptic. As quinine in small duses alone will not relieve the pa‘ns or headache nor entirely reduce the fever, I have been in the habit of combining with it phenalgin, as follows: ‘Quinine, three grains in capsules; phenal- gin, five or ten grains, in powders at one dose, to be taken every three hours. This formula has proved very successful in aborting what might have been a severe attack of ‘la grippe, and rap- idly curing milder cases. : “tn common with many of the profession,, it had been my habit prior to my acquaintance with the stimulant non-depressant character of phenal- gin to prescribe alcoholic stimulants when giving the other coal-tar products. But the free use of alcohol is always followed by great depression and reaction. The contrary is true of the coal. tar product, phehalgin. The action of this drug is soothing, and its anodyne effect is usually fol- lowed by refreshing sleep. “Convalesence from ‘la grippe’ is hastened by careful attention to nutriment and aided by udi- cious tonics of the chalybejate variety. An e‘fica- cious method of local treatment for ‘la grippe’ and at the same time a most valuable preventive, is to spray the nose and throat several! times daily with many of the antiseptic solutions in the market, of which the principal ingredients are boric acid, eucalyptol and other essential oils. “It should be remembered that this disease at- tacks with greatest severity those whose v-tal force are made weaker by indiscretions and exces- sive nerve strain. Therefore the rules of health should be carefully observed, especially those ret- erable to sleep and proper diet. “In giving these hints for treatment it is not desired to assume ‘la grippe’ is a disease eas ly overcome without close persona! attention by the physician, but there are very Many Cases which otherwise would become severe and serious that could be checked by promptly following the course herein outlined.” INFANTILE MORTALITY. R. LETTBERS has contributed an article to the Dublin Journal of Medical Science upon the mortality of infants .n_ Ireland, in which he says that they are allowed to perish in myriads by feeding bottles with foul rubber tube fittings, by farinaceous substances which ferment and decompose as soon as ingested, by neglect, by exposure, by deprivation of the natural nutri- ment, by preventable causes like premature birth, by preventab’te diseases like diarrheas and diseases of the respiratory organs. Infants want protec- tion against that killing ignorance which does them to death by artificially induced diar- rheas, by convulsions from improper feeding, by marasmus from etarvation, ,Let the question of the saving of infant life receive from the pro- feseion that measure of study to which it is justly e1utitled. let the best means be formulated to stem the infantile death current in our populous urban centers, and let the Legislature be urged to deal with the subject in a spirit of humane compre- hensiveness. MALARIA. Bv Dr. Edwin Sauter, 1329 North Seventh. HERE is a certain vagueness in the mind of the average person as to what malaria really is and what symptoms or diseases may properly be attributed to it. It is a bug- bear to the medical profession. tf all the evil effects laid at its door actualiy resulted from this disease it would be the most dreaded in the whole category which flesh heir to. The inexperienced practitioner, unable to finda cause for some ailment, instantly ascribes it to malaria. As a matter of fact, malarial symptoms are equally as definite as though preceding ty- phoid fever, diphtheria and similar maladies, An unsettled, morbid influence existing in earth or air enters into he humenr organ'sm and there acts as a most virulent and lasting blood poison, Chills, followed by intermittent fevers, headache, sweating, vomiting, precipitating impurities of the blood, are the most pronounced symptoms of ma- laria. is HOT LEMONADE. By Dr. C. N, Kendrick. DO not know that it is generally known, but hot lemonade is thought by many physicians to be One of EN® best Medicines for the grip. During the great influenza epidemic in London in 1889 the Board of Health of the city advised the public to freely use hot lemonade. The prespira- tion it causes is in a majority of cases sufficient to relieve the patient from severe colds and con- sequent complications, and it is superior for this purpose to quinine and drygs which leave wn- pleasant results, Th acids of lemone in bronchial troubles re- lieves the irritation of the throat, acting at the same time as a natura! disinfectant. Fresh lemon juice will kill cholera bacillus in water, hence it is not surprising that it will de- stroy the so-called influenza bacillus. MUFFLERS. By Dr. Heine Marks. UFFPLERS are pretty and comfortable, ‘but they are bad to wear. Christmas muf- flers, presented a mopth ago, have caused a greater proportion of the colds and 6ore throats among their owners than any other garment in the market. ' It is not wearing a muffler that is hurtful, but not wearing it after having become accustomed to the protection it affords, is what does the dam- are.

HE greater a man’s refinement the S 3 more susceptible is he to pain. The Bureau of Education has pur- sued a careful investigation of this subject during the last five years, making over 1000 experiments on mén, women and chil- dren. The results show that the educated have a deeper sense of physicial feeling than the unelucated.. The experiments have been conducted un- der the supervision of Arthur MacDonald, a specialist 'n the bureau. The machine used is one of h's own invention, known as the “algometer.”’ It cons'sts of a brass cylinder with a eteel rod running through one of its ends. This rod is attached.to a spring with a marker on a scale. Th's scale is graded from zero to 4000 grams. A brass disk 15 millimeters in diameter ts attached to the end of the steel red. This disk, '!n experi- ment, is pressed against the temple of the subject, a piece of flannel, however, being glued to the surface so as to exclude the feeling of the metal when: preseed against the skin, thus giving a pure pressure sensa- tion. The algometer is held in the right hand. The exper:menter presses the disk against the right temporal muscle and then the left temple. As soon as the subject feels the pressure to be disagreeable, or in other words as soon as pain is felt, the 1.25 bs ; ' 2.45in SEE e“~2ce © ee @ ¢@ o@ «= 7" Ree et = wee ae «' Se eee i en ee | Comparative Sensibility and How It Is Ascertained... . of pressure is read by observing the scale. amount the marker on Mr. MacDonald, in speaking of periments, to-day said: his ex- ‘‘Women are more sensitive to pain than men.

It hag been my, experience that persons af- flicted with catarrh are more susceptible to grip than others. Grip is an ancient disease with a deadly record. In 1580 it is said to have killed 9000 people in Rome. In 1780.'in St. Petersburg, 3.000 persons were at- tacked by it in one night. In September, 1889, it commenced to spread rapidly from Russian cen- ters. reached Paris in’ November, and from ‘thefe spread over the whole earth. Contradictory though it may seem, grip is not in itself dangerous, Fatalities result from local complications it produces. The outcome depends ' in a great measure on.the victim's power of re- sistance. } a The symptoms are well defined.

Having recounted the marvelous progress made, he says that ‘‘there count” aa many serious failures, intellectyal,. social af moral,” ca Mr Wallace regards vaccination as “a delusion.’ He reviews all the evidence in support of the tention that it affords protection against s : pox. He rejects that conclusion absolutely, t) asserts that the statistics offered tn its behalf are demcnstrably false; that the medical men offer- ing them have no capacity as statisticians, and that in many instances they have deliberately falsified the figures in order that “vaecination might not suffer reproach.'’ He challenges all of Jenrer’s experiments as not affording any “cot tro! tests."" He insists that the doctors and Par- liament hastily jumped at conclusions, and that after Parllament, on the judgment of the doe tors. had voted Jenner the sum of $150,000. there was a eort of moral ‘vested interest” in falsify- inyy in order to sustain the theory that vaccina: tion protects against smallpox.

SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—FEBRUARY 5, 1899 _ 'FOREMOST AUTHORITY ON MISSOURI FAUNA & IS A QUIET. WORKMAN OF SOUTH ST. LOUIS, NO ONE KNOWS MORE OF BIRDS RDS AND SNAKES, SNAKES, a / Ln ww orks Ten Hours a Day and Devotes “Fils Leisure Time to Natura History. JULIUS HURTER, Engineer and Naturalist. ULIUS HURTER of 2346 South Tenth J street, St. Louis, lives a dual life. ~ That is, Mr. Hurter is accomplishing in one life time the full life’s work of two men. Ten hours of the day he is a civil engineer and mechanic. He is now and has been for years the chief draughts- “man and superintendent of the Fulton Iron Works. In the other fourteen hours of the day he ts a student of natural history, when he is not asleep, and his work in natural history has been as successful as ‘his work in mechanics, for he is recog- nized by naturalists the worl over as the ‘foremost authority on the fauna of his State. Mr. Hurter lives in a close-built row of houses, where nine-tenths of his neighbors do not know that he is anything more than an employe of some _ construction company. They probably do not suppose that the little man in a mechanic’s grimy clothes, who leaves his home at 6:30 o’clock every morning with his dinner pail and re- turns at 6:30 in the evening, knows a joint snake from a jelly fish or ever heard whether Linnaeus and Agassiz were poll- ticlans or poets. And yet this little mechanic is well known to the professors of the Smithso- nian Institute at Washington; to the cura- tors of the Peabody Museum at Harvard; to the experts of the British Museum—the greatest institution of natural history in the world—and the national museums of Germany, Switzerland and France. : Men living in the block with him for years may not know that he has been do- ing anything more than his ten hours’ of work a day at the Fulton Iron Works. And yet he has added to the fauna of Missouri twenty dinstinct specimens hitherto undis- covered in the State and has contributed specimens of each to the great Institutions. And not all of his contributions have been to foreign museums. Washington Univers- ity has a collection of birds in which there is a specimen of every bird that flies in the State of Missouri. Julius Hurter col- lected it and mounted it, and the natural grace of every bird, life-like in poise and perch, is the fruit of careful study of the habits of the birds of Missouri, and te- dious, assiduous study in the difficult art of taxidermy. HIS NATURAL BENT. éé WAS born in Chaufhausen, near the | Rhine Falls, in Switzerland, in 154,’’ Mr. Hurter says. ‘‘When a boy I had a natural liking for natural history. I remember once in the Switzerland school the teacher told the class ahout a frog rpe- culiar to some parts of Europe. It was a little fellow, with very interesting habits, and the teacher said he would much love to secure a specimen and show it to us, but could not because the frog was not in- digenous to Switzerland. I raised my hand and told him he was mistaken, for I had seen the frog around Chaufhausen and knew where he lived. The teacher said: ‘Al) right, Master Hurter; if you know this frog lives in Switzerland and can find him here, you may stay away from school this afternoon and bring him here with you to-morrow morning.’ “I went out that afternoon after the frog. I searched for him a long time de- fore I found him, and it was late in tne afternoon when I came home with my prize. I was very happy to think I could prove my boast to the teacher. The next morning I went to schoo) early with my frog. When the teacher came, I gave it to him and he said: ‘“*My boy, you are quite a naturalist. Maybe you will be a great naturalist some day.’ “Tl came to St. Louis thirty-three years ago. I had served an apprenticeship in mechanics and given almost all my time to-its study, but I could not overcome my love for natural history and all my leisure time I had given to field work and study of the works of naturaiists. I learned to read French, Latin, Spanish, English and German, and I saved from my earnings enough to buy every book upon natural history I could find, beginning with Lin- nacus and coming down to the later works of the leacing museums. THE MISSOURI BIRDS. é¢ Y first field work in Missouri was M in ornithology. I determined to secure a pair of every bird to be found in the State or migrating through it, and I studied taxidermy that 1 might mount my specimens. I was working at the machine shop six days of the week and Sunday was my bird day. every Sunday, except in the severe winter, I went out in the flelds and around the lakes, the rivers and swamps, studying the habits of birds, noting their individuality in perch, and securing svecimens. The nights of the week I devoted to mounting the speci- mens. Within a few years I had secured a pair of every bird in Missouri and I con- tinued my search until I had added to the collection many birds extremely rare in the State, “I remember out on the river I saw a sea swallow, in Missouri, skimming along the water fifty yards from the shore. I shot it. Ice floes were floating in the river and I had no boat. But I wanted that bird and in spite of the protestations of a friend who was with me I jumped in and got my bird. It was a cold swim, but it did me no harm. ‘“*“My work with the birds ended one time when I was ill. I was in bed several days and had my ornithological books brought to me. I counted the birds known to be resident and migratory in Missouri and added those I had .discovered new to \the State. It gave me a total of 283 species. I got up and went to my collection and counted my birds. There were 283 specics, I knew I had exhausted ornithology in Missouri and I said good-by to it right there. THE SNAKES OF MISSOURI. é¢ ~ N1884I had exhausted the ornithole®%y of the State and turned to its her- petology. I went snake hunting. In the spring, when the snakes are moving after their hibernation, a snake hunter se- cures almost all his specimens. I spent my Sundays then with the snakes. I took my dinner and a basket for the catch and went out in the woods, around the rivers and lakes and in the upland grasses, over- turning rocks and logs and poking around in the grass. Some days I caught rare and splendid specimens and other days l would see only the snakes I had already caught. I found a good many snakes not known by naturalists to be in the State. one day in March I was bank watching for birds. the first I had seen In the quarry at the old Arsenal I found a peculiar lined snake which I had not seen before. I sent it to the Smithsonian and the naturalists there wrote me that my snake was new and that they would like to have other specimens. The British Museum also wrote me for specimens of my lined snake and I went to the quarry every spring, always catching one or two specimens and sending them to all the principal museums of the world. In ex- change for these and other specimens I received specimens of the snakes of the continents and I have them all nicely pre- served. “IT have closely studied the poisonous snakes of Missouri. There are but a few species. I have found in the State, which is rich in snakes, sixty-two distinct spe- cies and but five of these are poisonous. They are the copperhead, the prairie rat- tlesnake, the timber rattlesnake, the water moccasin and the cotton mouth. I have se- cured many specimens of them and have furnished: them to many collectors. “The copperhead can be found around St. Louis by any one knowing where to loox for it. It is found under rocks and logs, generally in a shady locality and near water. It has no rattles, but it gives a warning almost as distinct, for when ap- proached it vibrates its tail rapidly and makes a rattling noise in the leaves. It is the most vicious of our venomous snakes and is always ready to bite. It is very poisonous, but its bite is dangerous than that of the rattler, though more so than that of the moccasin. “The prairie rattlesnake is the abundant of the poisonous reptiles St. Louis. It lives in the fields ries. When the less most around and prai- river was so high in 1893 I caught a great many prairie rattlers. The water drove them from the jowland grasses and in a single day I caught fifity- nine of them across the river on Wet Prai- rie, above East St. Louis, they had been driven to the little high places in the prai- rie, and I got a big basketful. “The timber rattler is found around the bluffs and the rocks in the early spring. Later in the season he goes out into the fields. Years ago, when there was no stock law over in St. Clair County, across the river, the timber rattler was very rare over there, for the hogs killed them as fast as they came out. But since the hogs have been fenced in the rattler has multiplied rapidly and they are very numerous, Like all poisonous snakes they are wary and un- less one looks for them they are not often seen. “The moccasin and the cotton mouth are down in the extreme southern part of the State. With all the other poisonous snakes of Missouri they belong to the movable fang snakes; that is, their fangs He along the upper jaws and can be thrust out at an angle of ninety degrees when the snake strikes. Their fangs are hollow and the poison is squirted through them. The obra, the most deadly of the tropical snakes, has immovable fangs dropping al- most straight from the upper jaw, and they have a poison groove at the back instead of the hollow fang. For this reason a ccbra’s bite through the clothing is less dangerous than that of the rattler, for fhe fabric wipes the poison from the groove in the cobra’s fangs. The third family of fanged snakes has immovable fangs far back in the jaw and almost pointing down the throat. They could not strike and bite, but if one’s finger should be caught in the reptile’s mouth he would work it back quickly to the point of the fangs. It is in this way he poisons his prey. The snakes of this family ics, THE LIZARDS OF MISSOURI. éé ISSOU RI is rich in lizardsand my M specimens in the Jacerta of the State are more numerous than any other. I have added many specimens to the fauna of the State that were not are all in the trop- known to be here. I have studied them closely and learned many things of them. The lizard hatches its eggs in a manner different from anything known in natural history. The eggs are deposited under a rock or log and the lizard coils herself about them and remains there until they are hatched. They raise as many as six young in a brood. “The most interesting lizard we have in Missouri is what is known as the joint snake. He is not a snake at all, but a lizard, with the feet undeveloped and easily found under the skin. The origin of the name joint snake is easily understood, for the tail of a lizard is insecurely attached and comes off with a very light pull. So it is merely the tail of the lizard which comes off when the joint snake is unjoint- ed. The severance of the joints of the tall] does not injure the snake, for they will quickly grow again. The joints once off, though, are never replaced, “There is another thing which is not generally understood. We have all heard of the hoop snake, which has a hook at one end and an eye at the other and rolls around like a hoop at his pleasure. This hoop snake is found in Mis- sourl. He has neither the hook nor tle: eye, and he does not coil into a hoop. But his tail, unlike the tail of any other snake, is hard on the end and can be controlled by muscles, just as one controls the finger. This enables the snake, which is a harm- less little fellow, to hook himself on a limb or vine and to do a number of little tricks which other snakes cannot do. THE TURTLES OF MISSOURI. (¢ ISSOURI is in the great turtle belt M of North America and North America has more turtles than all the rest of the world. place where turtles are There is no other so numerous as they are along the Mississippi River and especially in Arkansas and Missouri. A study of the turtle seems to show that he attempted a sort of migration across the continent. Like everything else, he at- tempted to go West. But the great plains were in his way and the Rocky Mountains barred further progress, even if he the plains. So he stopped in the in snake lore crossed Missis- sippi Valley and the swamps and rivers of Missouri and Arkansas. I have spent a great deal of time with the turtles and have succeeded in finding new specimens in the State. One of these is the box tor- toise, a turtle not supposed to be in Mise souril. I haye been able to secure but a single specimen of this species and thig I sent to the Smithsonian. I have exchanged Missouri turtles for others until I have in my collection a fair representation of all the turtles in the world. THE BATRACHIA OF MISSOURI. é¢ M Y collection of the batrachia of Missouri is, I believe, complete, except in one or two instances. I had in it every frog, toad and sala- mander known to be in the fauna of the State when I started my work in batra- chia and a good many species I have dis- covered and added. The frogs and sala- manders are difficult to find when seeking rare species, for some of them rarely, if ever, come to the surface of the ground or the water. I have spent whole days dragging around in the muddy bottoms of sloughs, hunting in caves and digging under rocks aid logs for specimens and I highly prize the collection I have. “One of the most interesting of my dis- coveries in the fauna of the State is that the tarantula, the big spider supposed to be indeginous to warmer climates than that of Missouri, is a native of this State. I looked for him a long time before I found him and I have now some specimens of Missouri tarantulas as big as any I have seen from the extreme Southwest. “I have been all over Missouri in my search for specimens.

When one of this family strikes its enemy it squirts poison through the tube-like fangs into the wound. The corn snake has SS OE 6S , ee 4 7 7 aa TANTILLA GRACILIS — Water Asp.

I love this work and I consider Missouri the greatest place in the worid for it. Naturally, I am delighted when I find something new to be accredited to my State and I expect, before I am too old, to add many more to the discoveries I have made.”’ Mr. Hurter has a workshop and exhibit room at the rear of his home and it is there he does his work and exhibits his specimens. His specimens are preserved in diluted alcohol and the preservation is per- fect. His collection is worth a great deal of money, for it is perfectly arranged, la- beled and registered and will some day, as all such do, find its way to the shelves of some institution of learning or public mu- seum. But it is unlikely that Mr. Hurter would consent to sell it for its worth, for he delights in it, spends his every evening with it and is constantly adding to it and he would be lonesome without it. He is preparing a literary work upon the fauna of Missouri and in connection with it he issues to the lovers of natural history in the State this letter: Having studied the reptilian fauna of the State of Missouri for the last 10 years, I find that without the ald of some observers and lovers of nature from different sections of the State it will be hardly possible for me to make a success of the same. For this reason I take the liberty t® ask all those who interest them- selves in natural history for their aid; to either send me specimens or let me know what kinds are to be fountl in your neighborhood, viz., anakes, lizards, turtles, frogs, toads and eala- manders. All contributions will be gladly re- ceived and duly credited In my contemplated synopsis of reptiles and batrachians of Mis- sourl. Any information, as how to find them, how to catch them, and how to preserve the specimens will be cheerfully given on applica- tion. At present I would like to know if any of our Westeru or Southwestern observers could state. positively the existence of the horned toad or frog. as they are generally called, in their ne'ghborhood in Missouri. The animal is record- ed from the Indian Territory and the eastern frontier counties of Kansas, but has never been recorded from this State, which seems to be the case with a good many other species also.

If my horse is a selling plater I can see it as readily as if he be- longed to another and I tell my trainer, Mr. H. Eugene Leigh, to keep him out of stake races in which horses of class are entered. In this way we managed to make our stable last year earn the money. ‘‘Many persons think it strange that I Should have had such a large percentage of stake winners. It is something unusual to see half a stable of two-year-olds turn out to be stake winners, and I admit I was somewhat surprised myself. The way I ac- count for the high class of my two-year- olds is the manner in which I handle the youngsters at Meadowthorpe. “As you know, we breed all the horses we race, something few establishments do these days. Science has taught, and it confirms the fact, that water is the first necessity of life. In the purchase and es- tablishing of Meadowthorpe as a stock farm I gave that my first attention. As each horse-requires about eight gallons of water a day, I naturally regarded the pur- ity of the water as of vital consequence. I found that the average stock water came from surface drainage and was, therefore, more or less impure and {mpregnated with organic matter. l argued that horses to be healthy should have just as good and just as pure water as human beings, so I de- cided to drill an artesian well. “Yes, I think very highly of the string of two-year-olds I am now having trained on the farm. I have sent them to Mr. Leigh, my trainer, at Loutsville, and he will there prepare them for their Eastern campaigns. They are en- tered in all the two-year-old stakes at Mor- ris Park, Brooklyn, Sheepshead Bay and at Saratoga. Of course, I may not have good luck with them this season, for, you know, it is a rare thing to see the get of any one stallion continue to win year after year.

' The Central Church of Chieago, also known as the Independent Church, is one of the largest and finest of the religious institutions of that It was estab- lished by Prof. David Swing as a Presby- terian church, but his belief became so broad and his Presbyterianism so indis- tinct that he was convicted of heresy by his denomination and his church thereafter be- came known as the Central Independent.

In the brief period of his paStorate Dr, Fisk has earnestly en- deavored, using his words, “to put this cyclonized church upon its feet and to re- vive in its people courage and hope. “This effort has been successful to the extent of doubling the church and Sun- day school enrollment and paying $5000 upon the debt of $28,000 that rested upon the property—which originally cost $60,000— when I came. The church has just closed a year, the first in 18 years, from which there is no current deficit. We have ac- complished this by a rigid economy. I have preached economy from the time I came to the church, often making it the subject of remarks in the pulpit. “The church was built with an ex- travagance beyond the wealth of its en- vironment, With good fortune it might have prospered, but the cyclone left it enervafed in every source of its main- tenance. When I came there was settled upon me a salary of $3500. I soon learned that the church could not afford to pay such a salary, and asked that it be reduced $00. In all I have made three such re- quests, the last being made last July, and each time the cut has been made with many expressiong of The church had a $1250 choir. It was splendid to have 'these singers, but they were a luxury we could not afford, and we let them go. With these and other economies we have been able to meet our current ex- penses and reduce the church debt $5000 in two years, and I am ambitious for the church that it shall continue this work to a successful termination. “The news tat my name is under con- sideration in connection with the Chicago Independent Church comes to me from no official source. I have received letters from friends telling me it is so, among them President S. R. Callaway of the New York Central, who .was an admirer and friend of Prof. Swing and is now in- reluctance.

Another friend has written me that my boom is in good hands, but none of them tell me who instituted what they term my boom. I sup. pose, of course, that my friends are doing it with the presumption that I should like to be the pastor of Prof. Swing’s church, which would be but a natural presumption upon the part of any minister’s friends, for the church ts a power in Chicago and represents with its pulpit one of the heights to which ambiti§us clergymen endeavor to attain. “Whatever there may be ig this matter— and I am not preparing disappointment for myself by believing that there is much in it —is none of my doing or the doing of any- one who has consulted me concerning it. I was at Evanston and Elgin last summer and preached -there five times, and five years ago people in Toledo mentioned my name in connection with the pulpit of the Swing Church. This occurred when Dr. Hillis took the pastorate, but I did not then, nor have I now, heard a word from the church authorities. The news that a committee from Chicago will attend my church Sunday and hear me preach does not come to me from any official source. ‘“‘My knowledge of the creed of Prof. Swing’s church is iacomplete. E know that both the men who have preached there have been Presbyterians, but they have been of such liberal and democratic beliefs that I should more readily consider them Congregationalists after the undenomina- tional sense of t'e term. As a matter of fact the barriers between Presbyterianism and Congregationalism have been lowered until a minister can wander into either pasture without alteration of creed. Dr. Hillis, for instance, is a Presbyterian, but he has left the Swing church to go to the Congregational Plymouth, “The Chicago Independent Church is, as I understand it, a church with a creed, of strict independence. It is, in fact, a con- siderable departure from the ordinary church, It has no Sunday school and no evening servicé. Its congregation has little obligation aside from renting the pews, and the pastor delivers a lecture-sermon carry- ing an independent belief in Christ and the necessity of Christianity among men and women, who may be members of the CUT HIS OWN SALARY $1500 TO CHURCH OUT OF DEBT.

My father was an active Free Baptist and one of the founders of New Hampton College in my native State of New Hampshire. “There are some things about a church like Prof. Swing’s church to which I could not become speedily reconciled. I should miss the Sunday school and numerous services of the church in which I have worked. But it is a question with two sides, and I cannot doubt that I should find in the independent creed things suffi- ciently conforming to my beliefs to neutralize anything I might have lost by the departure. For I know there is ob- taining in every church to-day a tendency toward religious democracy’ and oblitera- tion of the boundaries of creeds. The lay- man is getting closer to the government of the church. He is more and more believ- ing that everything which concerns the people must be controlled by the people, and without prejudice toward @ny church or criticism upon its government I predict that this tendency to democracy !s going to remove every ecclesiastic and potentate of every church, every pope and cardinal and bishop, who is rot what he is by di- rect creation of the people. This would be umiversal independence in religion, and no other government of religion can be so fair and successful. The strength of our national government is its democracy, its independence, its control by the people. A similar government must obtain in the church of Christ. “IT am a Congregationalist because of its congregationalism. It has democracy and independence, and except for some altera- tions in ritual its churches are not differ- ent from that of the Independent Church at Chicago.

LLINOIS club women, headed By Mrs. | Gertrude E. Wallace of Havana, IIL, have commenced a crusade against the practice of using woman’s face or fig- ure for advertising purposes. The move- ment was started by the Fourteenth Dis- trict Clubs, of which Mrs. Wallace is president, at a meeting held recently at Lewiston, Il. Miss Addie Turner, the secretary, of Pekin, near Peoria, stands sponsor with her signature. The resol'itions adopted at the Lewiston meeting speak for themselves: Whereas, We. the mothers, wives, daughtcrs and sisiers of free, civilzed and enlightened Amer- fea, do believe that the common, indiscriminate Th ~ i % + en / P .™... end ail too often immodest use of woman's face form and figure as an advertising medium not only lowers the standard of her womanhood, both in purity and dignity, but also degrades the high ideal for which she was created. Whereas, That with the fullest realization of this, wo do discover and most deeply regret ani: deplore the dlemoralizing tendency and corrupting influence which this use exerts upon the youth of our land, Resolved, therefore, That we, the members of the Fourteenth Congressional District Federation of Women’s Clubs for the State of Illinols, shal. strive through whatever ways or means found ex- pedient to secure legislation regulating the laws restricting this use of woman's likeness for suc): purposes. Resolved, That all public entertainers, man- Ufacturers and tradesmen of any kind shall be forbidden to use the face, form or any portion of the figure of woman for advertising purposes, in either suggestive or an immodest or immoral manner. Resolved, That upon all manufacturers or deal- ers in liquors, beers, malts or tobacco, in whet- scever shape produced, these restrictions shall be made absolute, they being debarred the use of wo- man’s likenecas by any manner or method whatever to introduce or land their warvs. The resolutions were drafted by a com- mittee including Mrs. Clara Bourland of Peoria, the honorary president of the I)- linols Federation of Women's Club; Mrs. L. H. Frazer of Peoria, president of the Peoria Jewish Council, and Miss Strawn of Lacon. JOSEPH SMITH, SON OSEPH SMITH, | Smith who founded the Mormon Church, does not believe in polygamy. He is the President of the Reorganized Mormon Church and editor of the Lamorr, Iowa, Saints’ Herald; concerning the Rob- erts’ case he has written the following statement for the Sunday Post-Dispatch: “There has been so much said regarding Brigham H, Roberts and his eligibility to a seat in the United State Congress, to which he has been elected by the people of Utah, the question hag been discussed from so many standpoints, that we have refrained from reproducing the many the- ories because we had not room for all, and did not wish to give one more prominence than the others. But as the issues brought forward by the election’of Mr. Roberts partake both of the religious and the po- litical, and the Hon. Heber M. Wells is both an avowed Mormon and the politicas Governor of Utah, we reproduce his state- ment. It is as follows: Mormonism is alive and well, but polygamy ie dead. Eastern people make the mistake always of associating the two together, as if they were synonymous. They ‘are utterly distinct and separate. The Mormons have abandoned polygamy or plural marriage absolutely. * ¢ ¢ The question, as 1 understand it, is not whether polygamy is right or wrong, it is not whether the Mormon people are seeking to re-establish the plural marriage system. It is simply this: Is a man who is living and cohabiting with more than De woman as his wives eligible to a seat in Con- gress? Now that things have gone so far I see no solu- tlon of the problem except by decision of Congress. [t is my earnest hope that the question, shorn of ill prejudice and passion, will be settled on its werits. “Whether the Governor is correct in his theory of respons.bility or not, he has cer- tainly stated the issue concisely, clearly, and, we think, correctly, when he says: ‘It is simply this: Is a man who is living and cohabitating with more than one woman as his wives el.gible to a seat in Congress?’ To make it clearer we would add: When euch a man has been dis- franchised for this practice and has not placed himself within the provisions for amnesty? This ts the issue, whether church church or party is responsible, and the power that has brought the issue to the front should be made to feel the conse- quenées, For about 47 years the Reorganization has contended that polygamy was no part of ‘“‘Mormonism;” that the two were “distinct . and separate,” that ‘Mormonism” had lived, can live and will live w.thout polyg- amy. We have further contended that the prosecution, imprisonment, disfranchise- ment and loss ef property in Utah for polygamy’s sake was in no sense a perse- eution for the religion of “True Mormon- am,” but for. something “distinct and separate” therefrom. It is then with much satisfaction that we note that so prominent and able a man as Gov. Wells, one too who has been brought up in Utah under the teaching of those who have tried to amalgamate er and polygamy, son of that Joseph’ OF THE FIRST MORMON, WRITES TO THE POST-DISPATCH OPPOSING THE SEATING OF CONGRESSMAN ROBERTS. PRESIDENT JOSEPH SMITH. admits our contentien. He says: Mormonism is alive and weil, but polygamy is dead. Eastern people make the mistake of aiways associating the two together, as if they were synonymous. They are utterly distinct and sep- arate. “Here is our hand, Governor, shake it heartily. When in.*connection with thie we read the recent statement of Presid- dent Lorenzo Snow that: ‘Mormonism, cOon- trary to the popular notion, does not mean polygamy’ we feel that our triumph its about complete, and even should Mr. Rob- erts be seated and retain his seat, the vic- tory :s ours; forthe agitation caused by his election has fofced our opponerits to yield the main point in issue. However, should we feel called upon to use any in- fluence against the seating, or in favor of the expulsion of Mr. Roberts, we hope to hear nothing more in regard to rel‘gious persecution; for we shall base our action upon our opposition to that ‘utterly distinct and separate thing—poligamy. ‘In former days, when the church in Utah openly advovated the practice of polygamy, its represen*atives were constantly compar- : ist- hat system w:th the social evils ex _ : our laree cities, and saying, Which is the worse? as though either one of the éther was necessary. They seemed incapa- ble of rising to the high ground of denounc- ing both, and would represent those op- posed to polygamy a6 be-ng in favor of, or responsible for the other evil, which was utterly absurd.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—FEBRUARY 5, 1899 reads SCIENCE IN BOWLING. _ 1 e ? 6 Fig 4 Pig 6. , rs SOME DIFFICULT FEATS. HE first important organization ofthese by-laws, is an individual who shall bowlers in this country took place in 1875, when nine clubs met at Ger- mania Hall, New York City, and formed what was known as the National Bowling Association. At that time ‘‘deadwood’”’ was allowed to remain in the gutters and the alleys were all sizes. The pins were 17 inches in height, 16% inches in circum- ' ference at the thickest part, and 2 inches at the bottom. The new association ap- pointed a committee to draft a-set of rules which would establish uniformity in the size of alleys and make any other sug- gestions that they might deem advisable. But it was not until 189, fifteen years later, that the bowling fraternity put their shoulders to the wheel in earnest. The American Bowling Union was organ- ized in September of that year, and Wil- liam J. Pell of the Echo Club was chosen President. The number of the pins were arranged in this form: 6 The Union also decided that the regulation alley should be 41 or 42 inches wide; the pin Spots 12 inches from center to center, and the size of the pins was fixed at 15 inches high, 2% inches in diameter at the bottom, M6 inches in circumference at the body or thickest part, (4% inches from bottom), 6 inches in circumference at the neck (10 inches from the bottom), and 7% inches in circumference at the thickest part of the head; 13% inches from the bottom. No balls Were to be used over 27 inches in circum- fetence. The playing rules and distance ‘between the pin spots and various etceteras Were specified in almost the identical form as those indorsed by the American Bowl- ing congress and the Western Bowling con- gress of the presént day. In 1892 the Amer- ican Amateur Bowling Union met, and af- ter fixing the depth of the gutters and the length of the runways, took hold of the professional question and defined an ama- teur as follows: “An amateur, within the meaning of one eee ee not participate, after Feb. 24, 1892, in any game of ten-pins for a money or cash prize, or who shall not have participated with any team bowling for a cash or money prize.’’ The establishing of this rule caused trouble at once, and the American Bowl- ing Congress was the result. This body disregarded the amateur issue entirely, and went in for bowling everywhere and by everybody. The practical bos¥er, while anxious to acquire a method of delivery which will produce strikes, does not lose sight of the fact that the man able to make ‘“‘spares’’ is the one whom fortune is most likely to smile upon during the progress of a game. The number of these problems are as many and varied as the famous leaves of Vallom- brosia. Fig. 1 would puzzle the best bowler in the land, and can be made in the manner shown in the diagram. No. 61s driven to No, 9, and thence to No. 8 It is a hard “‘spare’’ and requires good judgment and perfect execution. Fig. 2 presents a problem hard to solve. It can be made by sending No. i to No. 6, and then to No. 10, but the best way is to take No. 6 on the right, sending it across to No. 5, thé ball caroming from No. 6 to No, 10. But it is a “‘spare’’ rarely made. Fig. 3 shows a ‘“‘spare”’ that can be made either by striking No. 2 on the right or left side. The favorite way of making it is, however, to let the ball carom from No. 2 to No. 5. Fig. 4 is a ‘“‘spare’’ similar in all its features to the preceding diagram, the difference being that the angle is changed. Fig. 5 will give the student a position which will cause him some trouble. It can be made either by driving No. 3 to No. 5 and the ball following to No 9, or by driving No. 3 to No. 9 and the ball tak- ing No. 6. The first way is, however, more likely to produce the best results. Fig. 6. There is scarcely any necessity to describe this ‘‘spare’’ or “how to make it."

It is necessary to get these pegs just a half inch from the end of the box, for the focus has been made by the original maker, and the plate belongs just that distance from the lens. Everything is made now but the end of the camera which holds the plate against the pegs. This lid to the box should be made of two thicknesses of the cigar box lumber, the lower piece being small enoug® to fit inside the box and the upper piece covering the entire top. The lid should also be blacked upon the bottom, and with the double thickness of the boards, it will keep the light out. On the under side and in the center of this lid to the box must be attached the little strip of tin. It should be an inch long and very narrow and bent into a half circle, with the center pinned to the lid. When the lid is put on the ends of this piece of tin bear down upon the plate and hold it firmly in place. The lid of the camera may be secured with any sort of little locks.

NE of the most remarkable plants in the world is now on ‘exhibition in Shaw’s It is the Giant Jack-in-the-Pulpit and its sc‘«ntific name ‘‘Amorphophallus William Trelease, professor of botany in Washington University and director of Shaw’s Garden: ‘‘Although this plant is not a native. it is sufficiently hardy to grow without necessitating hothouse cul- ture. Authentic cases are recorded where the full growth has exceeded eight feet. Those now in bloom in the garden are about five and a half feet high. “In shape they resemble, somewhat, a Garden. called is rivieri.’’ Said calla lily, being, in fact, members of the same ficral family. But while in the lily the flower and leaves grow simultaneously, | this is not the case with the jack-in-the- pulpit, whose leaves do not apvpear until after the flowers have faded. The flowers which are now in bloom will be dead in about four days, living only long enough to accomplish their purpose — fertilization. About April 1 a profuse growth of leaves will appear and these last some time. The plant is remarkable for three things—its size, edor and color. The color is a dull, reddish brown, bearing a striking resem- blance to decaying meat, and the powerful odor it gives forth is exactly that of car- rion. In fact, it with the goose plant (recently on exhibition), the stapelica of the Cape of Good Hope, designated by that name, carrion. “This peculiar color and odor are for a is, Z It oo ‘e's direct purpose—to insure fertilization. This is accomplished by flesh-eating ‘insects— such as carrion flies and beetles. The in- sects, as they alight on the flower, deluded by the appearance and smell, leave a de- posit, and countless numbers of these cause the natural odor to be magnified until it becomes almost unbearable. There have been cases where the insect, believing the plant to be what it seems, flesh, deposits its eggs in some cavity. Or course, the larvae A SHAW'S GARDEN FLOWEK LOOKS AND SM GIANT JACK IN THE PUL- PIT. nothing to sustain THE GIANT AS IT WILL APPEAR IN APRIL. soon die, there being life.”’ “The morning glory blooms in the morn- ing for a peculiar and particular reason,’’ said Prof Trelease. “What this reason is few persons other than students of botany know. It is that the flowers may be fertiliged by pollen and made to bear fruit or seed. “A similar reagon accounts for the bloom- ing at certain hours of the ‘four-o'’clock’ and the night blooming cereus. “There are male and female flowers, as well as animals and human beings. Pollen, the powdery substance with which Wwe are all familiar. is the agent of fertillzation or reproduction, As the flowers cannot come together, it is necessary that this agent must be placed in contact with the female flower by other means. Nature has pro- vided insects. “They age attracted to flowers either by their color, their shape, their odor or an instinctive knowledge of the nectar within. The insect alights on the stigma and in- serts its proboscis to extract the nectar from the ovary of the flowers. In doing so it rubs its body against the stamens of the flower, which furnish the pollen or CLLS LIKE BAD MEAT. ‘fecurdating dust,’ as the dict’onary calls it. “In doing so the pollen clings to the in- sect’s legs. When he flies away he carries it with him and deposits it, seemingly without design, yet by Nature’s arrange- ment, on the next flower with which he comes in contact. Thus the work of fer- tilization is accomplished and the flower, if healthy; matures, and fruit, and, there- fore, seed, is the result. Beautiful system, isn’t it? “It must be borne in mind that certain insects perform this service for certain flowers. In the case of the morning glory it is a bee. ‘Since the insect is attracted by some quality of the flower, it is necessary that the flower should be in bloom at the time the insect habitually flles. This accounts for the ‘time some plants are in flower, such as the ‘four-o’clock’ and the night- blooming cereus. Bees fly all day long, but the. morning glory is a fragile flower, pos- sessing but little vitality, so it is provided for in the economy of the flower kingdom by being allowed to open first and be ready for the bee when he comes. Then the flower, having served its purpose, dles. “Some flowers have the ability to fertilize themselves, but they are rare. “In 1787 Herr Sprengel, a great German botanist, discovered a pecuilar fringe of hair-like growth just above the nectar cup of the common geranium. He wondered what purpose this served, and, after etudy- ing the matter, saw it was to protect the honey against the rain and Also to prevent insects other than those capable of fer- tilization from securing its nectar. This led to further research and it was thue the purpose of the flower'’s nectar Was ascer- tained. “A remarkable case of preventive meas- ures is the Madagascar orchid. which has a nectar tube 18 inches in length. The only insect capabie of extractinw fe noney of this flower ie the sphinx moth, which has a tongue aimost two feet long, which it carries tightly coiled up. when not in use."

Oysters. for instance, will not freeze as readily as clams. Butter freezes at 15 degrees; cheese is damaged at 3 deerees. Besides the intensity, the duration of the cold must be considered, for it is well agreed that cold has accumulative effect. Articles in places eubject to draughts freeze quicker than if in the same temper- ature in still condition. The reason of th's is that the air tends to drive away what- ever heat radiations may be given out, however faint they may be. At 32 degrees Fahrenheit water freezes. Ordinary articles are not iniured by cold above th’s degree. Immediately below 32 degrees the damage begins. The table given shows the lowest tem- ype he to which perishable goods may subjected under ordinary conditions. Fahrenhett. Fab 31, Pineapples. : Fges, cheese. iC anberries. 28!

You may throw the thing in apparently the same way any number of times, but it will never go in quite the same direction or perform the same gyrations twice in succession. 8. J. Rewson, who is said to be the only man in the world who can safely manipulate the Australian weapon in a hall of ordinary size, writes that he practiced many months on vacant lots before he began to master the boomerang After four years of daily practice, he has become such an expert that now he can make one of the triangu- lar-shaped clubs dart and dodge, whirl, flutter all about a stage, and finally return gracefully to his hand. He will hold a boomerang at arm’s length behind him and then suddenly throw it forward and it will soar like a bird, whirl in circles like a pig- eon settling to earth, dart out from fhe stage and over the heads of the audience, then turn and come back to him as if it were a live creature responding to its mas- ter’s call. And this is what makes the boomerang such a fascinating thing to play with—after you once learn how to throw it properly you may make it strike an object many feet away and then dart back to you and fall at your feet. Until you have mastered the secret of the throw, however, it will be just as likely to land on your head with a thump, bark your shins, prod you in the small] of the back or dodge over into the next lot and give your neighbor’s dog, or the neighbor himself, a dig in the ribs. So until you have learned to direct the mo- tions of the bommerang you would better experiment with it in a solitude where you have plenty of room to play tag with the thing and to duck the attacks of this artful dodger. But you must first make your boomerang. Any bright boy can do this in the following manner: Take a piece of straight-grained hickory or elm (well seasoned), 4 feet long, 2 inches thick, and, say, 4 inches wide, and soak it in boiling-hot water till it will bend easily; then bend it exactly in the center till it resembles in shape the boomerang, as com- monly known. When you have the timber bent to the proper angle secure it in that position by connecting the two ends with cross strips on each side, securely nailed. Let the wood stand until it is thoroughly Ts worst trouble about learning to dried, when the strips may be removed and it will retain its triangular form. Next saw the plece of timber into strips one-half inch thick. This will give you’ several boomerangs in the rough, which will meas- ure two feet along each angle, and will be two inches wide and one-half inch thick. All that remains to be done is to whittle down the implement till one side of it is perfectly flat and the other side is convex, or rounding; the thickness of the boom- erang in the center being one-quarter of an inch (see the illustration), and the ends are rounded off and shortened till each angle will measure only one and one-half feet, After the boomerang is whittied out in the rough it should be scraped smooth with glass and sandpapered and then rubbed with oll. You will then have a weapon that we ? READY To THROW is sharp along the edges and thin at tha rounded ends. Follow'ng are directions for throwing the boomerang: It is held up at arm's length over the shoulder and is then thrown directly on- ward with a strong, quick fling, as if you intended to hit some one some yards in front of you. At the same time the hand is jerked back with a swift movement that sets the boomerang to whirling rapidly. The weapon should be grasped firmly at one end, and, when ra'sed for throwing, should be held with the fla? side up and the free end pointing backward from the body. Experience will teach you different ways of throwing the boomerang to meke it perform all sorts of interesting tricks, such as soaring, whirling around an object and returning to you, going straight awey and suddenly darting to one side, an@ so on. Boomerangs may be made of different sizes, and their angles may be varied, but the same geheral form must be preserved in all. The boomerang, or womera, is e weapon of war and of the chase, used and probably invented by the native bushmen of Aus- tralia. These boomerang throwers are so skillful that they can throw the weapon long distances and to great heights and kill small game with almost infallible ac- curacy. When thrown by a strong man the boomerang is almost as dangerous as @& buzz saw in action, and it is gaid that in the bushmen fights a well-almed boom- erang has more than once clipped off the head of a warior and returned to the hand of the thrower. 2 Toy boomerangs may be made of card- board. They should measure about an inch on a side. To sail them place them on & book or plece of cardboard, having one of the ends projecting over the side of the book or cardboard, then snap the finger nail against the side of the exposed end der the thumb nail and snappped. A very graceful manner; or they may be held une de rthe thumb nail and snapped. A very successful boomerang may. - from a shingle and thrown from bet the first and second fingers as you wo snap a card. : 600 SHOTS IX hundred rounds fired from a “‘baby’”’ S Maxim gun in one minute is a ter- rific number of bullets to be turned loose against a public enemy. Yet. this is what Hiram S. Maxim, the inventor, recently did at the conclusion of a lec- ture on rapid-fire ordnance before the En- gineer Society of Columbia University. Mr. Maxim used lantern slides to illus- trate the evolution of the automatic gun and explained the differences of the various inventions. He wound up by firing 600 shots a minute from a little weapon of his manufacture, the entire weight of which was 2 pounds. The inventor said that the construction of metallic cartridges first rendered the use of breech-loading weapons possible. Peter Cooper was the pioneer, building such a weapon as early as 18. The gun was not put in use, however, the first ma- chine gun to be used being the Gatling. Then the mitrailleuse, the Gardner, Lowell, Pratt, Whitney and Nordenfeldt followed in the order named. But in all these the recoil was so great that they must be mounted on carriages as heavy &5 light fleld pieces. A little over twelve years ago Maxim per- fected the first apparatus whereby the re- coil from the explosion of one cartridge is used to explode another. This is the prin- ciple wherein his weapon differs from other machine guns; it is self-discharging so long as the operator holds to the trig- ger. It will grind out bullets with amaz- ing rapidity as long as it is supplied with ammunition without the necessity of heavy carriage or, in fact, anything but the fin- ger pressure on the trigger. The recoil is used to force a new cartridge into the barrels and discharge it, the act being duplicated with marvelous speed. Mr. Maxim did not meet with much en- ement from the United States Gov- t when he explained his machine. Foreign nations laughed at him and said his claims were mere Yankee boasting. But the took a gun to London and the Prince of Wales tried it with the result that 200,000 shots were fired in displaying the machine. Then the government wanted him to furnish a gun which would fire 1000 shots a minute and not wefgh more than 100 pounds. He constructed one which reilghed 40 pounds and, whieh shot 200 cartridges in three minutes. Lord Wolse- courag ernmen HIRAM MAXIM USING HIS GUN. ley tried this gun and the result was his first government order. It is due to these remarkably effective little machines guns that Lord Kitchener was able to slaughter so many dervishes with such an inferior force. A few regi- ments equipped with Maxima are equal to whole divisions not so armed, as Omdur- man has shown. Lord Wolseley objected to the smoke made by the gun and Maxim began the study which resulted in the in- vention of smokeless powder. The ad- vantage of this powder in attack or de- fense was fully illustrated in the late war. But it costs money to handle machine guns. For instance, Dr. Gatling has re- cently perfected a machine gun whieh is to be used for firing guncotton or other high explosives. He obtained an order from the government to test it at Sandy Hook. Con- gress set aside $40,000 to build the gun, with an additional $15,000. for casting the steel mortar. Then the Ordnance Board set aside $18,600 more to test the machine, It was taken to Sandy Hook and the whole outfit blew to atoms at the first fire. Thus some $73,600 of Uncle Sam's cash was lost in a second. The test was not satisfactory, of course, and another will be made, A new gun, which will possibly be devoid of the defects of the firat one, will be cengtruct and the same interesting process, hopefully, as the Germans aay, without explosive inci- dent, will be carried out. Of course It will cost money again, but guns of t kind must be had and the government must pey for them. Civilizers come high in t end of the century, but ‘he prb'lc a iea makes them imperatively necemsary.

Lady Curzon had only time to b rowed ashore to breakfast with th ernor and return immediately to the boat. Everywhere we have gacrificed pleasure to speed. For the first time since the commence- ment of the. voage Lord Curzon’s entire staff appeared in full uniform, and military honors’ were accorded their Excellencies. Lady Curzon looked beautiful in a white mousseline de sole gown, with blue ribbon garniture, and a white hat. She accom- panied Lord Curzon to shore, and seemed delighted and interested upon arriving in the first city of her new home. Lord Cur- zon’s staff wore the Viceroy’s staff unl- form, which is that worn by the alde-de- camp of the Queen, with the exception of Lieut.-Col. Sandbach and Lieut. Meade, who both wore their “‘Guard’’ uniforms, the scene was a brilliant one. Lord Curzon in his gray Prince Albert and gray hat, Lady Curzon in white, both surrounded by their military household brilliant with ‘‘gold lace and swords,” as they say in England. The Vicereine evidently felt a thrill of pleasure, and certainly looked happy, upon this Christmas morning when she entered upon her new domain. As we left Aden at 1 o’ mas luncheon was served on board Arabia, and a royal banquet it was. Lady Curzon gave us a magnificent Christmas Eve with her wonderful tree and the happy children. Not to be outdone, the Commander gave us a luncheon. As a spec- fal courtesy toward the passengers a nuge from which clock the Christ- the cake was provideé. nation Christmas floated the flags of every sented by the passengers. were the tri-color of France, repre- Among them the stars and stripes, the colors of Hollande@, the yellows of India. No nation was slighted, and all rejoieed together with universai good-will. The feature of the luncheon wag the great cold roast baron of beef, which was so large that it had to be cut even for the huge boat oven, to the deep distress of the cook, who had wanted to see the roast done whole. Christmas night we had a most memor- abie dinner, for after it Lord Curzon made the first speech upon entcring into the In- dian Empire, or, as the toastmaster ex- pressed it, “into the waters of his new em- pire.”* The dinner was as grand an affair as the luncheon, and even the flaming plum pud- ding and mince pies were not forgotten. After dinner the Commandant rose and feel- ingly proposed a toast to “‘Her Majesty, the Queen, God Bless Her.’’ He was fol- Towed by Mr. ®Burnees, who ‘n the name of the passengers proposed the toast, ‘‘Lord and Lady Curzon, the Viceroy and Vice- reine of Indla.” **] consider, " said Mr. Burnese, “that to- eww — - > > - eee ee a Se a i a a a a i i a a a a a a a a nl calla day, Christmas Day, is a most auspicious day upon which to express in the name of the passengers the good wishes of all t®% their excellenc'es, J say Christmas is a pro- pitious day, first. because upon Christmas Day the Viceroy ana Lady Curzon have en- tered into their future domain—or the wa- ters of the Indian Empire—and I say Christ- mas Day also because Her. Excellency, Lady. Curzon, has made that day a memor- able one to us all and a joyous occasion to more, than 30 little children, who ,without her would have had.no rejoicing. We have all of us assisted more or less at Christmas trees. during our lives at home and abroad, but I am convinced I am making an exact statement When I say that Lam sure none of us have ever before ass’sted at a Christ- mas tree upon the Red Sea, and. we all ap- preciate the many difficulties Lady Curzon must have encountered to carry out her design. The forethought of having a tree put on board weeks beforehand calls forth 643 admiration, to say nothing.of having andsomely provided enough presents for more than 30 children. We have all been touched by, Lady Curzon's gentle act, ana have partic ipated in the happ'ness of the children.’ After enthusiastic applause Lord and Lady Curzon’s health was drunk by all, and Lord Curzon rose to respord. He is a mag- nificent, forceful speaker, and although he said but a few witty words, his power as a speaker was splendidly displayed. “Just what is wanted in-Ind’a,” whis- pered an Indian resident to his neighbor. Monday night’a concert was arranged by Lady Curzon, or rather under vision, she and the Viceroy assisting and warmly applauding the performers. — Vhe ¢oncert took place in the music eéalon. “A special place Was arranged for their ex>el lencies, a lounge having been-placed near the entrance as a “loge d’honneur.” The coneert closed with’ *‘God Save the Queen.” Tuesday night the Earl of Suffoik ar- ranged a delightful ball, most elaborate for a ship dance, with a supper following it. It is cercainly remarkable that am‘dst all her duties Lady Curzon finds time for so many -trim dreseées that contribute to the happiness of every one. Lady. Curzon is quick to observe and quick .to act—an ad- mirable wife and an example to 19th *en- tury mothers who are apt to leave the im- portant ‘supervision of their children to nurses and governesses. One may also say that Lady Curzon’s babies amply reward her constant personal supervision, far they are the model children of the boat, simple and sweet, entirely unspoiled. Little Irene has the ‘same graceful manners remarkab!e in her mother. One often has a dread of children brought up in the “lap of Jfixury,” but these babies one would love and wel- come everywhere, I have observed how much quiet amuse- ment Lady Curzon gets out of life. I have seen her eyes flash with fun as she glanced at a grotesque-looking passenger or caugnt an amusing remark. Sometimes I think So young and beautiful a woman must want to join in the dance or break the reserve that surrounds her, but she shows no sign save, perhaps, when the music of the dence at the evening balls on board and the music of the waves combine to make an intoxicating invitation to the dance. Then I have seen Lady Curzon gently keeping time with the music and I have thought she would like to jain in the dance, Wednesday evening there weré charades her super- > Se eT Te eee ees = > > = *«s «© «2 © @ @ © @¢ & o- SOOO EEE o-—“- «=— % ay wet, felines We hor Sipe ay te gan ra Te eit aN "7 Be cl 4 a ch es “ s 4 r ' ’ « - ~ . je i obs bee, Bole abs gs lag 08 r * en i E- » 5 2 < “a / i i nti Nesiae Pht b ee : ; PT eo roa ve Vie. oe ge ae AS ac ee , . oF) : a a aS TRA, 5 ? ae aw OFA ps: é bites Sie Be i an AT Mie #2) mi EAE 2 gee Ne , Sp~ io A i

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—FEBRUARY 5, ; NOVEL DANCES AT MEDLEY CLUB BALL. TIAT must have been a delightful lit- tle affair the Medley Culb gave Tues- day night, at Mahler’s. The Medley young people, like all the other clubs in town, have unconsciously fallen into the habit of meeting at intervals of two or>three weeks during each season, for the, purpose of dancing innumerable waltzes ‘and two-steps, eating an indiffer- erently prepared supper and wearily re- turning home some time after midnight, With the temporary that they have been enjoyine themselves. It was always the same thing and as there never was the. least evidence of or- iginality in any of their entertainments, I jost interest in their proceedings for awhile. Kut certainly the Medley Club is to be congratulated upon their last ball. The cotillion was danced, and as it was necessary to economize every foot of space in the ballroom, the decorations were sim- ple. It was altogether a thoroughly in- formal] affair and I fancy there were not more than a hundred guests. Of these, they tell me that Miss Florence Garrison Was generally considered the prettiest girl. Mies Garrison doubtless deserves the dis- tinction. for a daintier and more winsome little jady would be hard to find. They tell me, too, that the two Misses Wright—Edna and Ella—wore the_ hand- somest gowns and that Guy Crandall Mar- iner proved himself to be as excellent a dancer as: he is an architect. Which is rather incongruous, considering that the bullding of churches, is Mr. Mariner's specialty. The - usual programme of waltzes and two-steps was danced until 10 o’clock, when the first figure of the cotillion was called. And from that time until 1 o’clock every- thing went off with a dash and vigor that surprised everybody. I imagine the scarf figure must have been the prettiest event of the german. Each couple .was given a gaily-colored scarf about three yards long and a yard wide. Then the men and the girls lined up as for the Virginia reel, and held their scarves out-stretched, forming a many-hued arbor from end to end of the ballroom. The first couple turned in and danced down between the lines, and the others followed closely, the two lines forming, after all were in motion, a whirling double ellipse which changed into an arbor again, after a triple revolution. In another novel figure the men were given sets of driving-reins, made of bright ribbons decked with silver sleigh bells. Each driver selected three pretty girls and after harnessing them, unicorn “fashion, Jined up at the judges’ stand (that is, the chaperone station) for a race. The orches- tra then played a sprightly two-step, and— there was a pretty lively time all round.

Miss Watson's charming home on Delmar Boulevard is splendidly adapted to enter- taining on a small scale, and Miss Watson is herself an ideal hostess. So of course, everybody had a fine time, and there were congratulations all round. Bight tables were arranged for four-hand euchre, and the game.was played from 2:30 until 4 o'clock, when the prizes were distributed and luncheon served. —e first ptiee, " cut glass and silver bot- © tor eau de cologne, was won by Miss Carrie Cook. es eo The second, a dainty little empire photo- raph frame, was carried off by Miss Clara ain, and the third, a cut glass and gold ealve box, was given to (Miss Adele How- impression Misses — Adele Ilaynes, lessie Jarvis, Italiie Bayle, Mary Outten, Lily Me} owell.

Wellesley Club Concert. HE first event to start the social wheel its whirl this week is the in mad Wellesley Club concert which comes Qeughly “au off to-morrow night at the Fourteenth Street Theater. ‘““The Specter Bridegroom,”’ by W. D. Armstrong and Mrs. Alice Hell- mer Watson will have its initial production, and the proceeds, as every one knows by this time, will be given to swell the fund for the Wellesley scholarship. Miss Eline Vieths of the Wellesley Club, is at the head and front of the whole affair and Guy Lindsley is doing the stage managing. With Robyn as musical director and Porteous, Groffman, Edgar Lackland, Mrs, Van Studdiford, Mrs. Blair and Miss Lodge in the principal parts, we should have a fine show indeed. I hear that Mrs. Blair has had some beautiful new gowns made in New York especially for th's entertain- ment and that all of the costuming will be superb. In the chorus and emaller parts are Mary singers whose names recall the best of the musical element in St. Louis. Among the more distinguished of the coryphees 1 see mentioned Louis Goode, Billy Tompkins and Tudor Wilkinson, whom some wag has called “the World, the Flesh and the Devil.’”’ For the uninitiated it may be ex- plained that these three men are insepar- able companions and that they are all of the same heitght—exactly six feet. But I don’t fancy that one could ever be mistaken for the other. Goode ti the scales at about 98, Tompkins at 225 and Wilkinson at an even 175 pounds. Goode may be ‘alled the ‘‘World’’ for obvious reasons, Tomkins is a pretty fair emblem of the ‘Flesh’? and Wilkinson is a real ‘‘Devil’’— he told me so himeelf. . This trio will be one of the special at- tractions of the show. Don’t fail to see them. Others in the cast and chorus are Mes- dames Nicholas, Wall, William A, McCand- lass, W. K.

The affair took place in the _ blue- room of the club. and after’luncheon had been served, the adjoining apartment was ulso used for the card game. There were nine or ten tables for six-hand euchre, and in the’ center of each was a big cluster of purple violets and a dish of bon-bons.

Mrs. James Daniels, Mrs. Will Gibson and Miss Gibson were with the receiving party, while Mrs. David Booth, Miss Claribel Jreen and Miss Katheryn Scudder assisted in a general way in. doing the honors. Lemonade was served in the library by Misses Goldie Harris and Edna Wright. The house was handsomely decorated for the event, the arawing room and Lbrary being in green and white, ‘and the dining room in pink. Palms, ferns, trailing vines and quantities of beautiful roses were used in carrying out the color scheme in each apartment. Mrs. Gibson fecelved her guests in a gown of striped bengaline, the bodice trimmed with pale blue satin and shirred chiffon. Mrs. William Gibson’s costume was of black and violet silk, trimmed with thread lace, Mrs. black Messrs.— Torrence wore a handsome gown of satin duchesse, combined with white satin and cut jet.

HE “Monday Evening Skating Club” are planning great things for their future meetings, and if their ideas are only carried out, the general tempera- ture of the entire Institution will enjoy a rise of about 40 degrees. One of the at- taches of the Ice Palace, who was at work about the rink last Monday night while the Skating Club were makin , theif usual hilarious fashion, wae “heard i: eay: “Well, t’ only t'ing wot saved t’ party Stinde, Homer. Amalie McAlister, Birdie Latton, Mabel Powers, Fannie Forbes, from bein’ a Quaker prayer meetin’ was t’ music. If t’ dinky band had just a-piayed Sacred toones I’m sure t’ hull crowd wud ha’ gone down on deir knees. I dunno wat yoti t’ink, but 1 guess I don’t want none of this s’ciety stripe ‘n mine. I'd rather be just w’at 1 am—a emblem of the cross between respectability and the ragger stage.’’ But there is an excellent explanation for the duilness of the Skating Club’s initial meeting—there were a great many other entertainments in the fine world that night, and of those who stopped in at the rink there were but a smal] number of ex- rienced skaters. We must remember that the sport ‘s comparatively new to St. Louis, because of the fact that the skating s€ason has heretofore lasted for little more than a week. But from present ind:caTons we snall have as many finished skaters as we have dancers in society, by the time warmer weather arrives. : The Monday Evening Club are at present making arrangements with the W ashing- ton University and the St. Louis Hockey teams for a pr.vate game to be given in & couple of weeks on their night at the lee Palace. Formal invitations will be is- Sued to some 300 of the “400” and there Will be an exhibition of fancy skating by Several] experts, , This fashion of entertaining novation, indeed, to St. Louis not to the entire country. Of course it has been fait’? in years, but then the patronized by “real Ward puts it. George A. Meagher. the world’s champion figure Skater, who will be the attraction at the rink next week, comes to us from a European tour which has added a whole bunch of feathers to his cap. While in London last spring, a number of society women arranged an evening home” at the National Ice Palace for Meagher’s benefit. .

Miss Lena Shuman will entertain the club St. Valentine’s night and immediately after the card playing Masque dance will take place. ) Antante Sic liana (¢) Alla Marcia _,..-oasiot Miss Olive Meyer Presented. RS. GEORGE Fr. MEYER’S Monday afternoon’ was given for the purpose of introducing her daugh- ter, Miss Olive Meyer, to the smart set. It is rather late in the season for buds to be blossoming, but if I am not mistaken, this was merely the occasion for Miss Meyer’s formal presentation. She has been really ‘out’ since last November and has missed few of the fashionable affairs of tre winter. , . Monday the Meyer resident ©, 4487 Laclede was literally filled with pink and white roses, and Musses ot tropical plants. All the chandeliers were garlanded with smilax and pink ribbons and the lights were shaded in rose tints. Mrs, Meyer’s reception gown was of a delicate fawn-coldéred bengaline combined with tucked chiffon and lace over watte taffeta. Tre skirt was made with a demi- tea afternoon nuvenue, se MISS FLORENCE PHILLIPPI. A Mus‘cian of Crystal Gity, Mo., Who Was Graduated in S:. Louis Recently and Is Now Visiting Pri:nds in This City. Duchess of Sutherland, the Duchess of Portiand and the Duchess of Teck. There Was a large number of other titled celebd- rities present, and after Mr. Meagnhers performance a party of these distinguished persons gave «an exhibit.on_ oi ensemble skating. Among these were Lord and Lady Archibald Campbell, the Hon, and Mrs. Algernon Grosvenor, Mrs. Pinero, Mrs. Jeerbohm Tree, Miss Balfour, Mrs. ‘Thomas Wallis and Lady Gwendoline Ramsay. Mr. Meagher :s a Canadian who Nas been an expert ekater since he was eign years of age. They tell me he knows how to cut S00 different figures on the ice, and that his greatest feat is euching vo consecutive cross-cute on one foot without pausing. Monday night Meagher will give a spec.al exhibition for the Skating (“Llub. I hear there is to be another bal masque at the Ice Palace on Wash-ngton's birth- day, which will far outshine the celebrat on of last Thursday night. And from the en- thusiasm of the spectators at Thursday's fancy dress affair, I should say everybody in the fashionable set will be in attena- ance. ; Some prominent butterflies n | Jitting about the new rink Thursday night were Miss Scullin, who has lost none of her love of the sport; Mrs _\ irginia Kay- cer.

Gee t _ + Catarrh Treated Free. ted Free, A Practical Demonstration to Make Plain te the People the Latest and Greatest Advance in Docter Copeland’s Practice and in the Science of Curing Disease That Faste1s oa the Ears and Breathing Tubes. FIRST WEEK’S TREATMENT FREE. It Costs Nothing to Investigate and Receive Medicines and Treat- ment for the First Seven Days After Apply- ing at the Offices. 1) t The Upper Breathing Channels and Ear Tube, showing the parts affected by Catarrh, and which only the New Copeland Treatment reaches and cures: A—Nasal Passage. B—Frontal Sinus. C—Ethmoid Sinus. F—Sphenoid Sinus. G—Eustachian Tube. H—Pharynx. I—Tongue.. J—Vocal Cords, showing en- trance to Windpipe and Bronchial Tubes. Doctor Copeland has shown how diseases which attack the Breathing Channels and Air Passages may be reached and cured by direct treatment and by remedies * to build up the system. He has shown that where disease that fastens on the Air Passages could be reached it could be cured. The only failures to cure under the Old Copeland Treatment were in those cases where the treatment in the form of medication failed to’ reach the parts that were diseased. THE CURE OF DEAFNESS. - When Doctor Copeland four years ago developed a treatment consisting of a medication that would pass into the Ear Tubes, a treatment that was so mild that it did not irritate the Ear Passages but healed and soothed them, a new light was shed on the cure of Deafness, and thousands of cures were the result of the treat- ment. All that was needed to make the Copeland Treatment perfect was the pre- sentation of the curative medicines in such a fcrm that they would reach every Spot that was affected by disease. When this was accomplished, cases that had been incurable would yield to treatment. This Doctor Copeland knew, and to this end Doctor Copeland applied his efforts in perfecting his treatment. With Doctor Copeland it was not a question of new remedies, but of a more complete and per- fect plan of using those remedies which his years of experience had shown him were the proper ones to cure those diseases that attack the Nasal Passages, the chambers in the Bones of the Head, the Ear Tubes and the Breathing Structures of the Lungs. THE TREATMENT PERFECTED, On January Ist the Copeland Treatment was perfected to the point where all those diseases of a Catarrhal nature, and disease of every kind that attacked the Ear Tubes, could be reached with certainty, and the working of this treatment when brought directly in contact with choked-up Ears and obstructed Nasal and Bronchial Passages was so striking and marked that Doctor Copeland desires that every one should have an opportunity to.study its benefits. It is for this reason that Doctor Copeland offered a free demonstration of the curative powers of his New Treatment, and this free demonstration was extended to every one. The peo- ple were invited to partake of its benefits during an entire week without a cent of cost and without entailing any obligation on the one undergoing the test. THE FREE DEMONSTRATION LIMITED IN TIME. Doctor Copeland is determined tha the people and’ the doctors alike shall learn the workings and test the efficacy of his Newest Treatmeft, and that the knowl- edge of its benefits shall be spread broadcast in as short a time as possible. With this end in view, he has decided to continue the free demonstration during the pres- ent month, the month of February, provided, however, that the numbers accept- ing the offer before the end of the month do not overtax the facilities of the office; for Doctor Copeland will not accept more patients under any conditions than he can properly care for, Those desiring to take advantage of this offer should make their application early, thus avoiding the rush during the last days of the free dem- onstration. But Doctor Copeland in any event will give ample notice in these col- ¥mns of the withdra wal of his offer. This Is the Offer: All persons, whether they suffer from Catarrh in the Nasal Passages, in the Chambers of the Head, in the Throat or Chest Tubes, will be given the First Week’s Treatment, Beginning the first da j ji zinn y they come to the office, without pay or obligation to pay, together with all medicines. thee got Mee fered those persons who suffer from Catarrhal disease in ov monte an we very best treatment, as well as the only practic Deafness and Head Noises. , cal, reliable and sure treatment for THE COPELAND MEDICAL INSTITUTE.

Be- ing 8 feet 3 inches in height, Miss Ewing has to have her wearing apparel made to order. When the cold blasts of winter swept over the little town of Gorin, Mo., where she resides, she decided that a pair of overgaiters would be the proper caper, and accordingly sent an order to the Mis- souri Overgaiter Co. at La Grange. The pair was made and last week were placed Me ELLA EWING, the Missouri —— MISS ELLA EWING (8 Feet 3 Inches) and Her Uncle. ' on exhibition at .Thomas’ store in La Grange. They measure 25 inches at the instep, 12 inches at the ankle and 13 inches at the top. -The people of that town were not greatly surprised, knowing the wearer, but persons rot aware of the existence of Miss Ewing might have considered them only a huge joke or a striking advertise- ment, like the big wooden boot sign of a shoe dealer. Miss Ewing and her overgait- ers are now braving winter together at Gorin. “BARNUM’S” NEW GIANT A RUSSIAN FROM CONSTANTINOPLE. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Jan. 2. ECPNTLY the Folies Bergeres, Paris, R claimed to have secured the tallest man on earth in Constantinople, a Russian, 19 years old and eight feet in height. But this is an age of records, and now, a@ month later. Messrs. Barnum & Balley’s Greatest Show on Earth, at Olympia, has added to its collection of freaks Hassan Ali, an Arabian of 23 years, who stands elght feet five inches in his stockings. Hassan is still growing Hassan’s foot is fourteen and a half inches in length, but Hassan has rather a small foot for his size. He is proud of this fact, though it may not conduce to the interest of business. But Hassan’'s boast is that he is made all over in due and proper proportion. He would rather sacrifice an inch or two on his foot than gain a meretricious advantage by his undue size. HASSAN ALI (8 Feet 5 Inches) and His Manager. When Hassan Ali stretches out his arms to their full length he measures seven feet nine inches from finger tip to finger tip. le is a grass widower In obedience to the dictates of the Koran. He married, a few months ago, an Arab girl—a mere slip of a thing, some 6 feet in height and fourteen years of age. But after a short honeymoon Hassan was obliged to leave his wife in Cairo when he came West, as her religion did not permit her to leave the harem and undergo the gaze of infidels in a foreign clime. During his. brief tour through Germany Ali was examined by many medical men, and has received certificates from _ s6ev- eral scientific societies that his height is what he claims and that he is besides a perfectly proportioned human being which can be said of few giants, and the public is assured by Hassan’s managers that he is actually the largest giant in the world.
