wr _ American Troops Storm Caloocan and Drive Out the Insurgents With Heavy Loss to the Enemy. MOVED STRAIGHT FORWARD UNDER A GALLING FIRE. a i —_ ——S The Native Position Was a Strong One, Consisting of Good Earthworks Defended by Large Caliber Krupp Cannon and Rapid-Firing Machine Guns. MANILA, Feb. 10., 7:40 p. m.—The Ameri- can forces at 3:40 this afternoon made a contbined attack upon Caloocan and quickly reduced it. The action was short, sharp and decisive, with heavy loss for the Fil- ipinos. At a signal from the tower of the De Lalome Church, the monitor Monadnock opened fire from the bay, with the big guns of her fore turret, on the earthworks with great effect. Boon afterwards the Utah Battery bom- barded the place from the land side. The rebels reserved their fire until the bombardment ceased, when they fired vol- leys of musketry as the Montana Regiment advanced on their position. The Kansas Regiment, on the extreme left, with the Third Artillery deployed on the right, charged across the open and carried the earthworks, cheering under a heavy fire. Supported by the artillery at the church, the troops further advanced, driving the enemy, fighting every foot, right into their own lines and penetrated to the Presiden- cia in the town and lowered the Filipino flag at 5:30 p. m. The enemy's sharpshooters, in the jungle on the right, fired at long range on the - “ Pentisyivania Regiment, but the rebels were g00n silenced by shrapnel Bhells and the Pennsylvanians remained in the trenches. Ae the Americans advanced they burned the native huts. The rebels were mowed down like grass, but the American loss was slight. The land forces were greatly aided by the guns of the monitor Monadnock. As each shell fell it burst, and the cloud of dust raised when the earthworks were hit could be seen miles away. The land batteries were served in excel- lent style, the gunners getting the range quickly, making great gaps in the lines of the native troops, who, though never hav- ing a chance.of victory: from the start, fought bravely, Gen. Arthur McArthur’s division made the attack, the troops cheering as they re- ceived the order to advance. The firing Was heavy on both sides, but the Ameri- cans moved right on to the defenses of bamboo and sand behind which the enemy were concealed, and were never checked for an instant, until the position was won. The Kansas troops d.splayed great gallantry. The enemy's position was a strong one, defended by good earthworks, behind which was mounted several Krupp guns of large caliber and latest pattern. The Filipinos at this point had been re- inforced during the past 2% hours by well- Grilled native troops from the north, armed with Mausers and Remingtone. It is evidently the intention of Gen. Ewell 8S. Otis, the Commander-in-Chief, to not permit the Filipinos to hold any fort.fied position in the region of Manila, but -to keep them on the move uf.til the country about the.city is cleared of every native Who carries a weapon. The loss on the American side has not yet been reported from the front. Just prior to the battle Brig.-Gen. Harri- @en Gray Otis held the extreme ieft of the American line from the bay near Caloocan. The regiments on the line and in support were: The Twentieth Kansas, Col, Funston, iL companies; First Montana, Col. Kessier, mine companies; Third Artillery, Major Keébbe, four batteries as infantry, and tne Tenth Pennsylvania, Col. Hawkins, four companies. Two companies of the Tenth Pennsy!- vania were behind the walls of De Loma Church yard. Across the ravine from the Montana regiment was Capt. Jenson’s com- pany holding the stone fort supporting Grant's battery of four Utah guns, a fifth gun to the left and on the railroad, sup- ' porting the Kansas troops. To reach the Position it held the brigade had advanced four times Since Saturday in a series of brifiant combats on different parts of the line of action, and especially so on the 4th, Sth and 7th. Several bayonet charges were made during the advance of the right and center. The taking of the Chinese cem- etery by the Montana and Pennsylvanig regiments was a superb piece of work. ‘A brilliantly executed advance up the slope in pei made a battie picture that wouid ¥ +) any veteran. _ Caloocan is about six miles from the city _ @f Manila and two miles from the intrench- ‘ments, marking q aes Pape ae on ranma - eae lished headquarters at Malabon for also within short range of Colcoocan. the line of the American the purpose of rallying his forces Malabon is near Manila Bay, and in 4di- rect short range of Dewey’s guns.

MANILA, Feb. 10, Noon.—There are indi- cations of an advance on Caloocan to-day. The American line to-day is much the same as on Wednesday. On the right Gen. Over- shine’s brigade extends to the beach two miles north of Camp Dewey and to the Pasig River. Lieutenant Colonel Trumann with the North Dakota Volunteers has es- tablished his headquarters on the beach, whence he is in signal communication with the American fleet. The second battalion of the Dakota regiment extends along the front and all of the Fourteenth Infantry, with the exception of Companies M and BE, is stationed at the Pasig River and extends thence to San Pedro and Malate in a com- plete line, Scouting parties of the Dakota regiment yesterday surprised Some Filipino scouts at the bridge across the Paranaque River.

Many of the rebels are coming in hoping to be allowed to enter ‘Manila, but have been refused the neces- Sary permission, and are now afraid to re- turn to the nemy’s ranks. The California Regiment, whose members are in excellent spirits, is now occupying the village of Pasig, Malate and Santa Ana. Since the Wyoming Regiment relieved the Twenty-third Regiment at the waterworks there has been no change in Gen. Hale’s position. The Nebraska Regiment, Colorado Regi- ment, South Dakota Regiment and Utah Artillery are occupying the same posts. On the left Gen. Otis’ brigade, consisting of the Twentieth Kansas Regiment, eight companies of the Pennsylvania Regiment, the Montana Regiment and four batteries of the Third Artillery stretches back, near Caloocan, to the Chinese Cemetery, where there is an excellent signal station on a hill, where, from a church tower, the signal men can communicate with the fleet. The monitor Monadnock moved Singport to-day. One of the Kansas heroes among the wounded is Daniel Hewitt of Topeka. Hewitt has @ severe wound in the right thigh. His condition is reported by the surgeon to be very good, NO WORD FROM OTIS. His Dispatches Do Not Mention the Battle at Caloocan. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Throve telegraiue were received by the War Department this morning from Gen. Otis at Manila. In the first he said, in answer to inquiries of the War Department, that the body of Cass White, Company B, First Colorado, had been recovered from the river. White had been ehot in the head. The second dis- patch said Corporal George B. Wardlaw, Utah Artillery, had been slightly wounded in the left ankle, condition good. The third dispatch, timed Manila, 11 a. m., Feb. 10, referred entirely to the pur- chase of some horses and other supplies and made no reference to the engagement with the insurgents. up to _ OO MORE SIGNAL MEN. The Corps in the Philippines to Be In- creased. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Owing to the pressing need for additional signal corps men in the Philippines and the difficulty of getting reinforcements there from the United States, it has been decided by the War Department to strengthen a corps now in the islands by the addition of one com- pany of sixty men recruited from the yoi- unteers In the forces now stationed there. The company will be recruited from the best men obtainable in the service and of- ficered by the best non-commissioned of- ficers that the company commanders are willing to spare. The new compan be divided into batches of 2 men wie pat be distributed among the companies al- ready organized there, maKing a jeaven of forty old men to each of the new com- panies.

Speaker Reed Says There Will Soon Be No Filipinos Left to Be Civlized. Special tc the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON,: Feb. 10.—Speaker T. B. Reed is again indulging in sarcasm at the expense of the Filipinos. He was talking with a religiously inclined member of the House yesterday regarding the trouble which would result from endeavoring to civilize the savage tribes of the mountains and the outlying islands. The member sug- gested that missionaries were the greatest civilizing axents known in modern times. “Well,” replied the Speaker, “Il guess if e to send any missionaries to civilize the Filipinos you better hu up. Last week there were #000: more Fili- pinos traveling about than there are now, and, if Gen. Otis keeps up his present work, at the end of six weeks there won't be many, natives for the missionaries to civ- ize.”’ The Speaker is not in harmony with the administration with reference to expansion policy, and never hesitates to take a shot at the expansionists. A NEW MONTE CRISTO STORY. | F the old Argonauts should go treasure hunting again they would let the Gol- den Fleece go where it has gone and seek the next Sunday Post-Dispatch, some- thing sure and full of the sort of treasure men and women like. : There ig no treasure story like that old tale of the ancients. It has lived a long time, and it will be living when men have forgotten Coronado, the Count of Monte Cristo and “Treasure Island,” for the wreck of the Argonauts’ voyage is far- strewn in the heavens, and there are many bits of it there these bright February nights to remind us of the tale. Do you know where to find these things—the good ship Argo and the crew who walked her decks. A St. Louisan, one of those unique men who find time’ to do the work of two mar- velous men, contributes to the next Sun- day. Post-Dispatch a simplified study of the skies in February, and you may learn many interesting things of the skies from it. It is never too late to learn things. instance, here we hve been talk- ing and talking of ngressman-elect Roberts. of Utah, and gin the course of the discussion have’ intro- duced into publicity all men prominent in the Mormon Church. ut what of the women? They have nevem been mentioned, and it has been ungallant have forgotten them. But the next Sunday Post-Dispatch is going to-make amends. It will print the pictures of beautiful women who believe it polygamy, who are ‘identified with the Mormon Church, and who tell why it is all right for a man to have several wives and several wives to have but one hus- band. They might diminish our prejudice against their sect, for pretty women can do wonders, Now, just to prove that they can do won- ders, here is the story of a beautiful Mis- sourli woman—a modern Cinderella, to whom the ‘prince charming has recently come. She is a girl of humble surroundings, and the prince has laid at her feet great stores of jewels, of dresses and precious stones, until she is as rich as the queen who carried rich gifts to Soloman. And all this because she is a beautiful woman, possibly because she is a Missouri woman, for there are a world of pretty ‘women in St. Louis, ’ You may find the pictures of some beaut- jes of neighboring cities in the next Sun- day Post-Dispatch. They have been ap- pearing every Sunday, and the pictures are so artistic and the young ladies so prett that the people anticipate and expect them with keenest delight. There will be an exceeding handsome group of them next gree: a little bit we will talk of men, but just now we have still some interest.ns things for the women. You see we are g°- ing to talk of Paris hats, and how a vor an does love Paris hats. Now a man isn't particular where his hat is made, though Mr. Dingley was fond of London hats. But a woman is. She likes Paris hats pretty well, and she would consider 4 $50 hat of that sort a handsome present. pain teach _ng anyone " i beg maak ge Sagi all the same, how that same $50 hat may be made for $10, we are going to tell it and illustrate it in the next Sunday Post-Dispatch. While we are in Paris, too, we shall have something to say of the latest novelties in Parjs street gowns—considerable to say about them, in fact. sends some splendid pictures of what the fashionables of Paris are wearing, togeth- er with a description of them, and Paris sets the styles in these things, you know, and we must see them. You have never seen so many pretty women as will be pictured in the next Sun- day Post-Dispatch. It will be full of: them. Two of them are Southern beauties famed down in Dixie—vone the sister of a war hero and famed for her beauty, and the other a painter who hae won laurels with her brush. Speaking of painters: the true pic- tures of the Philippines will be a feature of the next Sunday Post-Dispatch. They are the work of a native of the islands. It is a clever story of a people by one of them. He knows all the people of the Philippine group, all their tribes, their characteristics and faults, and he gives one a more intelligent idea of the queer peoples of the islands than any who have wr:ttea before him. He tells of the old metropolis of Manila, of Aguinaldo, leader of the na- tive army and the man with whom our colonial troops in the far East are strug- gling now; of Dr. Rizal, the man who worked up the last revolt against the Span- iards on the islands, and who became the first martyr to freedom. JHe also tells of the vegetation of the islands, of their won- derful wealth of forests, flowers and fruits. Now we are talking of fruits. Do you know what this cold wave We have been having is the fruit of—where it began and how it grew and why !t ehould have been precipitated upon us to such an un. usual and unnecessary Gegree? The next Post-Dispatch will tell all about it, , *3 ¥ + ‘ i ; ‘ p x Bre sf * 028 ee > le" 2 ie ' i my th hase Riad me ee _ iT s i Pe vr os iN - ha rea = * 7 on ees tc % te & a a ef a: wiih | by N. D.

SOON AFTER 2 O'CLOCK FLAMES Flames Reported to Be Spreading to Adjacent Buildings and the Water Facilities Are Limited. The Allen Building in Webster Groves caught fire Thursday afternoon, The flames spread rapidly and the entire building was ablaze in a few minutes. The building is the largest in Webster. It is.a three-story brick, and covers an entire block. It is opposite the railroed station, In the building are a drug store, a grocery, a hardware store, a barber shop and a no- tion store. : The. upper portion of the building is a theater and opera-house. The cold weather made it extremely diffi- cult to' fight the fire. No water could be obfained from the city pipes, and citizens who organized a bucket brigade could do littie. Within 2 minutes after the fire started it was evident that the building was doomed and the flames might spread to others. The building was erected sOme years ago The upper floors were constructed for use as an opera house, and until the Gibson block, containing a hand- some theater, was erected, two years ago, Allen's Opera House was the only public hall in the village. The building has been practically with- out tenants for the last few months. Acroses the street from the Allen building fis the “postoffice and a- number of new business stores. Breeddel’s butcher shop, adjoining the Allen building on the east, took fire, de- spite the efforts to check the flames, and was destroyed. At 2:30 o’clock the call for aid from 8t. Lou's was answered by an engine and one truck. It was decided to demolish the row of little shops of which Breeddel’s was one, if i twas seen the fire could be conquered in no other way.

NOT SLEPT IN FIVE WEEKS. Charles Snowden, a Missouri Farmer, Presents a Most Remarkable Case of Insomnia. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Feb. 10.—A remark- able case of insomnia is reported from Stone County. Charles Snowden, a pioneer farmer who | lives on Long Creek, near Galena, has not 'glept for 35 days and nights. With the exception of his inability to sleep, Farmer Snowden appears to be in un- usually good health. He says he is suf- fering no pain or physical inconvenience, and that he doesn’t care to sleep. Every night he retires at the usual time to hi: bed and Jies there awake until time to get up and do the “morning chores.’"” Mem- bers of the family are worried, but Farmer Snowden says he never felt better, and h- is apparently confident that he can exist without sleep. A most remarkable feature of the case is the fact that although wel advanced in years, the sleepless man Ie able to work on his farm every day, and is in every Way as active as he was be- fore he lost the power of sleep. He is not of a nervous temperament, and the local physicians who have examined him are unable to solve the mystery. CABLE ACROSS THE PACIFIC. The President Will Urge Upon Con- gress the Necessity of Con- structing a Line. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—The President will send a message to Congress to-day calling attention to the urgent necessity for the construction ef a cable across the Pa- cific Ocean. It will not make any specific recommendation as to the mode by which the cable shall be secured, the main point being that it is imperatively necessary a cable should be laid. THE WEATHER FORECAST.

If Iloilo Has Not Surrendered the Bat- tle There Is Now On. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Iloilo is now) being bombarded by a portion of Admiral Dewey's fleet unless the natives have sur- rendered on the demand made by Gen, Mil- ler, who is in command there. Gen. Otis advised Secretary Alger he had sent the first Tennesse Infantry to reinforce Gen. Miller, and the commanding officer of that organization carried instructions to him to demand the evacuation of Lloilo by 9 o'clock Friday morning. ® If this demand was not complied with im- mediately the instructions were to begin bombardment of lloilo and continue it until the rebels ran up the white flag. The navy will, of course, co-operate with the army, which will simplify to a consid- erable degree the work now laid out for the two branches of the service and it will cover the landing of the troops. The Boston, Baltimore and Petrel are now at Iloilo and if the rebeis are indis- creet enough to refuse to lay down their arms the heavy guns of these ships will be turned upon them and followed up by the troops who have been lying in the har- bor for some time past. In view of the success which attended the action of the American forces at Manila last Saturday and Sunday Gen. Otis de- cided to reduce Iloilo at once and have the unpleasant duty over. Army officers here say he is pursuing the proper course in following up his vic- tory at the beginning of the week to keep surgents in Maniia and Llollo on the ran ana Ri this way drive all thoughts of renewing the conflict from their a gee lloilo is 300 miles from Manila aS urten is no telegraphic communication ye * ~d the two places.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. JHFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 10.—Col. Wm. H. Phelps should see to it that the conductors en his: railroad are instructed as to the identity of those persons who travel to 4nd from Jefferson City on passes, and those who pay fare. Ifa certain con- ductor had ‘been thus imstructed a painful scene would have been avoided the other day. And if all conductors were well- informed on this: point certain persons holding high office might be saved em- barrassment, ; A large number of members boarded a train bound for St. Louis the other day. Among them weré James H. Whitecotton of ‘Monroe County and Speaker W. J. Ward of Stoddard County. Mr. Whitecotton took a seat in a caf about the middle of the train and Speaker Ward went far. up in fror.t. The conductor went through the train, but for some reason missed the mem- ber from ‘Monroe... When the train was about half way to St. Louis, Speaker Ward appeared in ‘Mr, .-Whitecotton’s car. A yellow conductor's chetk stuck in the band of his wide-brimmed soft hat. The seat beside Mr. Whitecetton was vacant and the Speaker took posséssion of it. The Speaker at once began to talk harmony to the Filipino leader, and there is no saying what might have. been the result had not the poorly instrueted conductor blungered along and rudely ‘interrupted the peace conference. ; The conductor ‘notited that Mr. White- cotton’s hat was not decorated with a check. | “Where's your check?” he inquired. “T have none,’ .said the member from Monroe, innocently. “Well, where’s your —," the conductor hesitated a moment. Mr. Whitecdtton took the missing word out of his mouth. “T haven't any pass,’ he éaid, “T hennit. ticket,”’ said the conductor, apologetically. sty have no ticket, Dut I suppose the cash will do, won’t it?” sald Mr, Whitecotton, at the same time producing a © bili. ‘‘The fare is $3.75, isn't it?’’ he asked. The astonished conductor made chahge and handed it to Mr. Whitecotton. “Have gou foiinhd many passengers from Jefferson City who didn’t have passes?’ asked the gentleman from Monroe. “You're the only man on the train who wasn't fixed,” replied the conductor. The peace conference between the mem- ber from Monroe and the Speaker suddenly became a Quaker meeting, and the Speaker soon found another seat. GAMES CLOSED FOR A TIME. Senator Dowell’s Assault Has Tempo- rarily Routed the Sharks. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 10.—Sen- ator Doweil’s resolution denunciatory of gambling at the Capital had the immediate effect of closing the several games that have been in progress in town. obody be- lieves the més have been pérmanefitiy closed, ot that the resolution will come to anything. As indicated by Senator Mor- ton’'s amendment to the resolution, too mamy Senators like a quiet game to allow of/any drastic measures against the gam- ng practice. The opinion held phen d among Senators is that it is not their busi- ness to take official cognizance of matters purely local to Jefferson City and which the local law officers see fit to ignore, The resolution has prebably found a grave in Senator Jim Orchafd’s Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence, This is Senator Dowell’s first visit to Jefferson City as a law-maker, and his colleagues are inclined to regard his sudden assault on the gam- bling in the Capital as the résult of the shock incident to his introduction to the lively games in the town.

The General Instructed to Stop Sale of Public Utilities by the Spaniards. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—The President bas transmitted to the Senate a statement from the Secretary of War and other pa- pers in reply to a _ resolution inquiring whether any franchises or conces- sions have been granted in Cuba since" the military occupation of that island. The Secretary says that none has been granted; that the executive orders dated Dec. 22, 1898, bearing upon this subject, have been communicated to the commanding generals in Cuba and Porto Rico, and that the department is not advised that any concessions have been made. The Becretary includes in the cor- respondence a letter from President McKin- ley to Gen. Wade, chairman of the Evacua- tion Commission, dated Dec. 12, calling at- tention to the reports that the local au- -thorities were preparing to put up for auc- tion franchises covering the right to con- struct railroad to the most important parts of the island of Cuba. In the course of his letter the President says it cannot be per- mitted that the persons nominally repre- senting the remnants of Spanish govern- ment there shall in this manner sell the franchises of the country and commit the future government of the island to toe tions A such importance. The existing Spanish authority in Cuba 1s to be consid- ered merely as a matter of convenience. It is merely a violation of good faith for these officials to attempt, under the guise of a sovereignty which they do not possess, to commit acts so injurious to the cee nn of the tsland. The President can conceive no good reason oka A this long dormant power should need to be exercised at the present time, and he conceives that its exercise is intended to be practically hostile and in de- fiance of the rights and authority of the United States. He then instructed Gen. Wade, if neces- sary, to secure resistance from the project to take over the full occupation of the City of Havana and nominally of the whole isl- and of Cuba, even prior to Dec, 29, the date set for that purpose.

She was not a child of royalty or the heiress of a trust-controlling magnate, yet she received the attention of men and women from all parts of the country. With the sofa in Station Matron Hun- ter’s room for a throne, she received her admirers with a quiet dignity beyond her years. Her clothing was not beribboned and ruffled. From the top of her well-shaped head to the tips of her heavy shoes severe plainness characterized “her; a plainness that added an illusion of age to her other attractions. This mite of a girl was the storm kineg’s gift to St. Louis. She reached St. Louis alone and friendless on the night of the coldest day in the year. She was wandering about in the big train shed when Willie Marks, a messenger boy, spied her. She wore a heavy black jacket and her head was wrapped in a pink fas- cinator, through which her cheeks sh forth a deeper pink. Tears were welling to her pretty brown eyes, for it was 10 degrees below zero and her tender flesh was chilled. Her baby brain was confused. She had never seen or dreamt of anything so big as the great train shed. Big folks were hurrying by in every direction without noticing her and the whistles and bells of the locomo- tives bewildered and frightened the child. When Willie darted through the crowd and said, “‘What’s de matter, kid, are you lost?” She looked at his honest face, huddled close to him with instinctive con- fidence and said in a@ tremulous voice: ‘‘Please sir, I’m lookin’ for the '’sylum.” Willie gave a long, low whistle. ‘Gee, whiz, kid, dis ain't no asylum; come wid me ‘* He took the little girl by the hand and led her through the big iron gate to the room of Matron Hunter. “Say, Mrs. Hunter,” he said, twirling his cap in his hand, “here’s a kid lookin’ for an asylum. From de way she’s dressed, I guess de ole woman’s home’d about fill de bill.’ Then he retreated. He had done 4% , fi ff ane “ 7. oe de la aan er’) Of ewe Sf! LITTLE ADDIE LOGUE. his part and he didn’t wait for praise or thanks. ‘When Mrs. Hunter took a good look at her little charge she said that Willie was not far wrong. She had never laid eyes on so old-fashioned a ‘bit of femininity. The little one’s. jacket was home made and of a cut that might have been fashion- able in the early 30s. When Mrs. Hunter removed the pink fascinator she found pinned across the breast of the jacket a long ribbon, bearing the legend: : ADDIE LOGUE, : OR BAPTIST ORPHANS’ HOME, Under the black jacket was another jacket, a wonderful homespun affair of checkerboard design fastened with big pearl buttons. After Mrs. Hunter had made the little waif comfortable she asked her whence sh came. ‘Brookfield, Mo.,’’ answered Addie, in matter of fact way, as if a railroad trip of 160 miles was an ordinary undertaking for a 6-year-old girl. , “Did you come alone?” asked Mrs. Hunt- er. “O, no; Lulu was with me.” “And who's Lulu?” “Here she is,’ said the child, drawing her hand from behind her and exhibiting a china-faced doll with a hand-knit red hood and a costume much nearer up to date than that of its little owner. In a few minutes news of the waif’s ar- rival was noised about the station. Em- ar! and passengers gathered about the child. With never an abatement of her se- rious expression she told how she had come all the way from Brookfield, Mo., with on- ly ‘her tag and the watchfulness of the crew of the Burlington train to insure her safe delivery into kind hands at St. Louis. She was placed in charge of Mrs. Kenney, matron of the ladies’ waiting room, who tucked her away in bed for the night. Friday morning she repeated her story to a gathering of interested passengers. “My papa was named Logue,” she said. “He died and then I got a new papa named Dave Newman. He brought three little brothers for me to play with. Their names were Bert, Guy and Pierce. Bert is dead now. I had three sisters before Dave New. man brought his boys to the house. My sisters’ names are Nellie, Edith and Villa, Dave Newman drives a team. He doesn't make much money. Most of my brothers and sisters have been given away. Three years ago Grandma Hunt took me. She guve me to Mrs. Northrop, and she gave me to Mrs. Kane and she gave me to Mrs. Steward and she sent me here and I won- der who'll get me next.”’ All this was said with pathetic serious- ness. As she eaid it the child looked fully as old-fashioned as her clothes. Mrs. Hunter notified the authorities at the Baptist Orphans’ Home. They told her they would send for the child Friday. “This is a splendid opportunity for. some one to adopt a nice. little girl,” said the matron. “She ie unusually intelligent. She has been to school and @an read and write and is in every way far above the average of the waifs who reach Union Station.” DINGWELL DIVORCE CASE.

Those who oppose the new amendments, and still believe in league racing, when the session opened expressed great confidence that no change would be made. The delegates were rather slow in getting to the hall this morning, and it was after 10 o'clock when President Keenon called the last day’s session of the Assembly to order.

Dr. Schuchat of Twenty-second and Chou- teau and Dr. Sutliffe of 2612 Chouteau re- sponded, and for two hours they labored heroically to restore the family to con- sciousness.

The arrival of prompt and intelligent assistance on that saved some of the family from eath. Mr. Zumwalt is a barber, and has long been. identified with the neighborhood in which he lives.

Attorneys of the Road Have Filed Further Exceptions. The attorneys for the People’s Railway have filed further exceptions to the sale of its property Thursday afternoon by Trus- tee C. C. Maffitt by order of Judge Wood under a foreclosure proceeding of the third mortgage bondholders. The attorneys say the sale should have been postponed on account of the inclement weather; that it should been made by the Sheriff and not by a trustee; that the order of the Court for the sale was unfair be- cause it restricted bidding to the bond- holders; and that the sale was untimely and imjudicious. The exceptions will be ar- gued next Friday. WITH A RAZOR. Young Wife Ends Her Life Because of Bad Health.

Construction on the Trans-Siberian Rail- road will be striously delayed if the strike at the American Steel Foundry Co.’s plant in Granite iCty, Ill, is not settled soon. Bolts and rails to be used on the road- bed of the Russian Government’s big enter- prise cannot be cast expeditiously with ihe present crippled working force. Men are being laid off, because some departments must shut Gown for lack of sufficient skilled jabor, That some of tha molders look for a pro- longed gtrike is evidenced because about WO have taken up their abode in St. Louis and ate endeavoring to get work in other foun- ries. Supt. James J. McRoberts is quoted as Sayilig that there is a settlement in sight, but he has made no definite proposition to the strikers nor is there any evidence that the methods at vogue in the plant to which the employes objected, will be remedied or abol.shed. Brietly, the molders object to the ram- mers, who are mere apprentices, doing work Which the union provides shall be per- formed by experienced men. It is said that not only have these apprentices been per- mitted to make certain castings, but that the molders have been obligea to put the finishing touches on the crude handiwork of the rammers. Rammers are paid only $1.00 to $1.75 a day, while the molders receive $2.50. About 160 of each class are employed by the American Co. .Je Granite City molders are under the jurisdiction of the St. Louis Union, al- though the East Side meetings are held at White’s piace.

An unusual and somewhat contradictory effect of the cold weather is to be noted in the brevity of the Police Court dockets. In the district covered by Judge Pea- body’s court ony. Swe arrests were made from 9 o'clock ursday morning to the same hour Friday. The arrests covered one offense. Joseph Oberinger of 1852 S. Ninth st. and Anton Luche of 2198 8. Ninth st. were fined $5 each Friday morning by Judge Peabody on a charge of disturbing the peace. The men went to the home of Mrs. eee Ehie at 721 Marion st., Thursday night, an asked to see Mrs. Ehle’s son. When infgrmed that the young man was not at home, they withdrew to the sidewalk and presently began to bombard the house with stones. They broke severa] windows, and wound up by swearing at Mrs. Ehle. She called a policeman, and the offenders were locked up. The inactivity in police circles during the last three or four days has moved Sept. Reynolds of the Central Station to observe enigrammatically : -Timinals are like bees; when the ther- mometer registers zero they do not sting.”’ A POLICEMAN A BANKRUPT. Officer Fred Armstrong Acknowledges His Debts to Be $10,000 and Says Creditors Persecute Him. A petition acknowledging himself a bankrupt in the sum of $10,000 has been filed by Policeman Fred Armstrong in the United States District Court.

In the application Armstrong owns the debts were contracted about eight years ago, when he was in the grocery business at Fidelity, Ill.

The Louisiana Centennial World's Fair Committees’ mail Friday contained a let- ter animated with a spirit indicative of that which pervades the managers of this great undertaking for 1903. It comes from a busy man, the general manager of the Syndicate Electric and Ca- ble Lines in St. Louis, and reads: @ ST. LOUIS, Feb. 9, 1899. -~ D. Davis, Chairman Committee on Mem ber- ship. Dest Sir—I am if receipt of your notification of my éelection as one of the 200 in connection with the Louisiana Purchase Celebration. I ; Senneunenne the compliment implied in being na . I am at your service for the performance of any and all work, whether tasteful or distasteful, at all times and under all conditions.

Yours truly, ROBERT M’CULLOUH. Friday night the full committee of 200 will have its first meeting since its mem- bership has been completed. It is probable this body of workers will be divided into subcommittees. so that the immense amount of preliminary detail work can be dispatched. No declinations have been received, and as each man was appointed after a careful canvassing and his expressed willingness to give time ahd attention to the Fair, an enthusiastic complement of St. Louisans has been banded for the public good. “In the last day or two,” said Chairman Davis. “friends‘of business and professiona men who have not representation on this list of 200 have visited me, caliing attention to it. Ina general way it is well to say that in a big we) | like St. Louis it is .im- possible within the limits of 200 to include all the committcemen whom we would like to have, We feel we will have their co- operation, however, and the popular back- ing that the Fair ought to have. “We have tried to give representation to every interest. On one point we hes‘tated, and that was the appointment of architects and real estate men.

Rules and Regulations Issued by- Archbishop Kain for the Direc- tion of All Catholics. Archbishop Kain has promulgated the following regulations for the observance of Lent by Catholics within the precincts of his Archdiocese: 1. All the faithful, who have completed their 2ist year, afe, unless legitimately dispensed, bound to observe the fast of Lent. , 2. All days of Lent, Sunday excepted. are fast ! days of obligation, on which only one full meal is permitted. 8. By dispensation flesh meat is allowed at the rincipal meal on all days of Lent, except Wednes- ays, Fridays, the Ember Saturday (Feb. 25), and Holy Saturday (April 1). Seas nt. 4. The use of fish and flesh meat is at the same meal, even on Sundays in Le 5. Custom sanctions the taking of a cup of cof- fee, tea or thin chocolate in the morning; and in the evening a collation which should not exceed the fourth part of an ordinaty meal. At this col- lation meat only is forbidden, the use of butter, cheese, milk and eggs being allowed in virtue of a special indult of the Holy See. 6. The use of lard and drippings is permitted in the preparation of abstinence food. . When the principal meal cannot be taken at midday, it may be taken in the evening and the collation in the morning. 8. All persons under 21 years, or over 60 years, of age, who are engaged in hard labor, the sick and convalescent, and those who cannot fast with- out injury to their health, are exempt from the obligation of fasting. Those who have any reason- able doubt as to their obligations to fast or abstain should consult their confessor, Those who are not bound to fast may use flesh meat more than once each day on which its use is permitted. 10. The time for fulfilling the precept of Easter communion extends in the archdiocese, from the first Sunday in Lent to Trinity Sunday. 11. The reverend rectors are requested to have special Lenten devotions in their churches. : 12. In virtue of powers granted us by the Holy See, on March 15, 1895, for 10 years, we permit workingmen and their families the use of flesh meat once a day, on all the fast days and ab- stinence days throughout the year. with the ex- ceptions of all Fridays, Ash Wednesday, the Wednesday and Saturday of Holy Week and the Fve of Christmas. Those who avail themselves of this dispensation are not allowed to eat fish and flesh at the same meal, and they are exhorted to perform some other act of mortification, such as abstaining from all intoxicating beverages. The reverend rectors will read and explain the above regulations and dispensations to their re- spective congregations. BOTH WRISTS SLASHED. J. H. Ruffin, a Southern Capitalist, Attempts Suicide.

When Pleasant Green, that cheerful soul, that smooth suburbanite, Found it had changed from 12 above to 10 below at night, He hastened to explore his house, with more than fond regard, And found, alas! that all the pipes were frozen fast and hard! There was no water for the cook to wash the praties in, And there was none for Mrs. Green to cleanse the baby’s skin; There was no water for the lord of that once bright demesne To wash his hands—oh, sad the fate that frowned on Pleasant Green! But in the basement—me, oh, my!—twelve inches deep it stood, And soaked and frozen was the coal, and eke the kindling wood! “a gadder sight I never saw—oh, saint- rturbing scene! aaah ial tibes busted—see!”’ quoth Mr. Pleasant Green. The kitchen stove refused to burn—ice- bound were all its legs— But with the aid of gasoline, the cook thawed out some eggs; And Pleasant Green put on his cap and pulled the edges down, And, shaking like a homeless cur, he bolted off to town. The wind was cold and more than bold, and frozen were his sox, twenty-seven blocks. But what of them he left behind? Imagine such a scene As that which reigned within the bome of shivering Pleasant Green! Spain has issued a red book on the Span- ish-American war. It should have been yellow.

Articles of Agreement for a Mill Be- tween the Cornishman and the Kan- garoo Will Be Signed To-Day. JS Ha! Ha! The day is come, Miss Dinah’s to be married. Very giad and that’s a fact, for very long she’s tarried. The followers of the pugilistic game sang the above refrain this morning when they heard that at last a match had been ar- ranged between Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Jeffries. | O’ Rourke, Sharkey’s manager, and Julian, Fitzsimmons’ manager, met in New York Thursday to make a match between the two big fellows. Yheir meeting resulted in a clean back- down on the part of O’Rourke. Julian wanted the men to meet eight weeks from the time articles were signed. O'Rourke was not willing to let Sharkey fight Fitz before next November. ¢ wanted him to pick up some easy money against dubs like Mitchell before al- lowing him to meet the only Fitz, Being unable to come to any sort of terms with O'Rourke, Julian matched Fitz- simmons to fight big Jim Jeffries, the Cali- fornian.

IT WILL START OUT WITH TEN. ——Eoo* Will Be Reduced by Louisville and Washington Pulling Out. There is a story out that the National League circuit will be cut down to eight clubs. As the story goes the League will in all probability begin its season with 10 clubs, and may continue on this basis until after July 4, but if the plans of the baseball dip- lomats do not miscarry, two of the clubs will be dropped long before the season ages. Every member of the inner circle of League politicians will deny this statement‘ and solemnly affirm that 12 clubs will start and finish in this year’s a race, but as a matter of fact the only teams that will start this spring are New York, Brook- lyn, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington in the East and Chicago, St. Louis, Cincin- nati, Pittsburg and Louisville in the West. This means that the Baltimore and Cleve- land clubs are to be dropped at the spring meeting, and that at the same meeting some sort of a conditional arrangement is to be made with the officials of the Wash- ington and Louisville clubs. The details of this conditional arrange- ment have not been perfected, but this much is certain: Both clubs will be asked to enter into a deal, which will call for their formal retirement form the circuit after the Fourth of July games are played. In all probability the Wagners of Washington of Louisville will be given a lump sum of money in exchange for their baseball holdings. John T. Brush, So- den and the other advocates of the eight- club circuit evidently believe «that the Washington ard Louisville people will sell out cheap after they have pocketed the spring profits,for it is an acknowledged fact that these two towns are ‘‘very good’’ from @& baseball point of view in the opening months of the season- If luck breaks even, Louisville and Washington will about break even financially up to July 4. After that date the clubs stand to lose big money, and will be ready to sell out for a reasonable figure. Cleveland andy Baltimore are already out of it, although the worthy magnates won't admit it. ae © }) rs = A I‘ , AL SHARKEY i382 eae ‘SOR ~ - JEFFRIES COMES TO TOWN, oe Mite: OP go ° tae i aw | iy ex Ms There Will Be Plenty of Bids for the Sportsman’s Park and Club.

It Will Be Run by Billy Brady and Jimmy Wakely.- Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 10.--It is said on good authority to-day that Billy Brady is the real lessee of the building formerly occu- pied by the defunct Greater New York Athletic Club at Coney Island, and that '‘be- fore leaving San Francisco on Saturday he paid $5500 for a year’s rent. Brady does not wish to run the club alone, and it is said that he has asked Jim Wakely and Charley Johnson of Brooklyn to go into partnership with him. Wakely said that he would be- come interested if permitted to pilot the club unhampered. “I suggested the idea,” said Wakely, “of offering a purse of $15,000 for a meeting between Jeffries and Fitzsimmons and ig- noring Sharkey for the present because he has said he would not fight for a year. With reputable men behind the club I can- not see why we should not make it the peer of any of its kind in the world.” It is doubtful whether the club will have smooth sailing if any one identified with the old management is allowed to run things, owing to the fact that a number of debts and judgments were contracted which have not been séttled. Gus Ruhlin, to whom the former management is indebted over $600, through his manager, Billy Madden, yester- day served papers in a suit to recover the money. Both Madden and Manager Tom ©’ Rourke insist that the club cannot open up for. business until its indebtedness to Ruhlin and Sharkey is liquidated, a M’COY AT LOS ANGELES.

They claim they will be able to pull the proposed organiza- tion through, and assert capital is inter- ested. They propose to open the gpason May 10 and close Sept. 15. Hawley Will Stick to Beer. The Cincinnati Baseball Club's contracts ith its players contain @ clause by which any one of its piayers caught drinking a glass of beer will be subjected to a fine of from $300 to $800. Pink Hawley, the Cincin- natig’ crack pitcher, refuses to sign a con- tract with any such clause in it. He says he does not believe in getting drunk, but whenever he feels like drinking a glass of beer he proposes to take it.

THOSE BOOKMAKING BILLS. They Are Introduced at Every Session of the Legislature and Always Fail to Pass. Jockey O'Connor rode two winners at New Orleans on Thursday, was second in two other races and third in another. Johnny McCafferty and all his friends tried to make a killing with Ben Ronald. They backed him from twenties down to 8 to 5, and he went out to get the money in good shape. He was eight lengths in front at the half. At the turn home he quit bad- ly, backed up and allowed Frickal to beat him to the post. Ben Ronald beat Tonto for the place by two lengths. Tom Kingsley was heavily backed to win the first race, and he got there by only a length from Gen. Maceo. Favorites and second choices divided the honors at Ingleside on Thursday, and the day’s racing passed off without interest. Bullman, the Montana Archer, rode three of the six winners. The feature at New Orleans for Friday is the fourth race, a handicap at a mile. The entries are: Prince Harry ae Orr Barataria $4 Prestar J Cc 114 The feature at Ingleside on Friday is the fifth race, a selling affair at one and a half miles, in which these good horses will start: Sardonic David Tenny 106 Morinel &y. '* Sas .-.107 Mistleton 104 Each day at Jefferson City some one introduces a bill to prohibit bookmaking on race tracks. At every session of the State Legislature bills of this character are introduced and always in the past the entlemen in control of the race tracks ave been invited to walk up to the cap- tain’s office and settle. The present bilis will probably meet with the same fate as their predecessors. Despite the cold weather of Fels same 15 bookies drew in at the Crescent City course. The New Orleans racing game is sure enough a paying institution. ‘Ihe bookies each day contribute more than enough to pay the purses. The fortnight of racing just closed at Oakland has increased the totalsum offered to date by the two San Francisco tracks to $208,200.

There has been a disposition in some quarters to quces- tion the sincerity of the Latonia people in the announcement made some time ago that there is to be a return to the old-time opening at the Kenton County track next spr:ng, but Col. Applegate has declared himself as above. The ring will not only be open, but, furthermore, an inducement will held out to bookmakers to hang up their. slates at the Kenton County track. The Latonia management have decided to make the fee for booking at their meet- ing $75 a day, instead of the customary 10. Col. Applegate says that several reid bookmakers have given assurance that they will draw in at ton.a, and he professes to be sanguine that under the new order of things a sufficient number of books will be had to make the return to an open ring a success. Officials for the coming meeting have not yet been selected, but in all probability Morgan Chinn, whose work while he was substituting for Chinn senior last season was quite satisfactory, will be offered the position of starter. There is more than a remote possibility that Capt. Rees will be offered the chief place in the judge’s stand. ——_o—__— THE ’VARSITY BOYS. They Form an Athletic Association and Will Employ Skilled Coaches. Nearly two hundred old time students of the St. Louis University met on Thursday night and talked athletics. Out of their talk came a new organiza- tion to be known as the St. Louis Univer- sity Alumni Athletic Association, he meeting was held in the rooms of the University and was perhaps the most en- thusiastic of its kind ever held locally. John P. Warren, the well known sport- ing writer of St. Louis, and an old time ‘varsity boy. was elected president of the new organization and J. Harry Bracken secretary. All hands were of the opinion that St. Louis University ought to have a first class track team and baseball club the coming season. First class coaches are necessary to develop first class talent.

Stevens of New York and Oscar Schroeter of St. Louis officiated as Judges. —-— —-@o-—- VONDY AND MUCKENFUSS. They Appear Friday Morning in a Jus- tice Court. Chris Von der Ahe and B. S. Muckenfuss were in Justice Walker’s court this morn- ing. Vondy was suing Muck for $150 house rent. Muck. had given his note for that amount and had marked it “for house rent."’ In the justice court Friday morning Muck’s attorney came forward with @ motion to dismiss on the ground that Mrs. Muckenfuss should have been made a party to the suit. A hot argument took place and the Judge Was so tangled up over it all that he took the question under advisement and said he would render an opinion sometime Friday afternoon. The point raised by Muck’s attorney Is a new and pecullar one. According to it if the head of a family is sued for rent you can only make him pay by making his wife a co-defendant. a Martin and Sloan. Though not so much fuss is be'ne made about it, H. Martin is apparently riding with as much skili and success at Ban as Tod Bloan did last winter He has neariv ewept the card several times |and has a remarkably high percentage of winning mounts, ursday, with five mounts, he was four t mes first and once second. If Gideon & Daly's youngsters are as good this year as they were Itast, “Skeets” will be likely to make a atronger impression this year on the New Yorkers than he has done heretofore. Field Day Benefit, The Bouth Side Y M. C. A. Gymnasium Committee have decided to give an enter- tainment on Friday night for the benefit or an athietic field meet to be held in the summer. It will be held in the Gymna- sium on 8. Fighteenth set. REE yeremnne on camam Ladies’ Dongola Kid Lace Shoes, neat coin toe, sizes 3 to 7.

Whe Soil of Mississippi and Its Capabii- ities Among the Various Top- ics Discussed. VICKSBURG, Mises., Feb. 10.—At the Parmer’s’ Institute here Secretary Wilson of the Agricultura] Depertment made an intéresting address, The first speaker, Prof. VW. L. Hutchin- gon of the Mississippi Agricultural Experi- Mertal Station, took as his subject, ‘‘Mis- Sissippi Soils ard Their Capabilities.” A poral d.scusasion foliowed, participated in members of the convention. Secretary Wilson eaid in part: “We are rapidly coming into competition throu the cheapeni-g of transportation d the improvement of commercial facil- ties aed yar of food throughout the world, and it is necessary that the Amer- ican farmer shoulé know where each etaple crop i# most at home, because where they a@fre most unquestionably successful com- petition with forcign competitora will be most protitably prosecuted. “If nothing were sold from the soil but the fiber and svstems of rotation were racticed, the soil would not very rapidly Gocoma urxroductive, provided ¢ more witrogenous part of the plant, the seed, was returned to the soll regularly. But this has not been the case, and people who fave been growing cotton and selling to other countries and other States the nitro- enous part of the plant will have to learn experience that the process cannot be continued indefinitely. as the people of the Upper Mississippi Valley learned regarding w t growing. Evidently it has come to the time when the Southern farmer must study systems of rotation, through which the necessary pliant food becomes availiable for the more exacting crops. ‘The department is making an effort to éxtend the markets of the United States to foreign countries. We can make butter cheaper than !t can be made in any other country, for the reason that we have cheap- er grasses and grein. We have established the fact that first-class American creamery Mutter is equal to the fine butter of Den- mark, France and the British isles, ani haves the satisfaction of knowing th at our Datters sell as high to =e retail merchant as those do. No doubt we could receive as high prices for the Sienaenie dealers, if we cowd maintain a steacy supply, aa the Danes do. In discussing the questions that lie around the exvort of butter to Ahys China seas and South America, wheré we @ agents opening up trade for us along ths line, it has come to our attention that butter made from highly carbonaceous ra- tions is softer and does not stand up so well, has lees stearine in it than butter made from more highly nitrogenous rations. Tne owner of a creamery in Iowa makes butter for the South American market and puts it up in cans. He finds the business profitable and called my attention to the matter, assur'‘nge me that he did not think Our butter would be as desirable for this feason as the butter from Denmark, where the people, who cannot grow corn, have to call upon the people of the United States to furnish them with the nitrogenous by- products of our mills. This question has wat been raised by comirg in competition in @an markets with European butter re era. Kut if we are to zgend butter to ps8 popes we rust @ee to it that it will t the severity of the climate as thor- aughly as the tutter made anywhere else He Méents along this line show that but- from the sugar beet pulp Was harder ond stood up better, had more stearine in it, than butter made from more car- BeHaccous rations. “The department has made vigorous ef- forts within the jast two years to experi- ment wide'y regarding our ability to niake our own sugar.

She returned to her room to give the range time to get hot. When she returned to the kitchen there was a great fire in the range. She started to light the gas stove also and was bending over to turn the cocks when the boiler attached to the range ex- ploded. The windows were broken, plaster was jarred from the cefling and walls, the gas was blown out and hot coals, hot water and soot and ashes were scattered all over the room. Mrs, King was knocked off her feet. The side of her snirtwaist, nearest the stove, was torn to shreds. As she fell a plece of the stove struck her in the back and inflicted a small cut. She jay stunned. When she _ recovered her breath she screamed. Several men who board in the house rushed to her assistance. When they dragged her from the kitchen she was covered with soot and ashes.

The range was a wreok and the grat » and lids were broken in pieces. The lids of the range struck the ceiling knocking out large pieces of plaster, whi] the hot water, mixed with soot, flew all over the ceiling and ruined it. The cook- ing utensils were strewn in all directions The glass in the window was thrown int the back yard. The explosion was heard for blocks ane the residents in the vicinity ran out o their houses. It was thought that a hous, hada fallen. The plumber who was called in to fix the water pipes and put up a new range geaid that it had been so cold in the kitchen the night. before, that the water in the pipes froze. When the fire was started there was no place for the steam to escape and the explosion was the result. Mrs. King said Friday: “I was terribly frightened at first. he explosion put out the gas and there I was in the room g6ur- rounded by hot coals, hot pieces of iron and the steam. sizzing all about me. I am so thankful I escaped. I had been afraid of an explosion, but a plumber told me that “there was no danger and I did not think ft.

It made a «mall gash.’ ace SE THE WATER PIPES BURST. Explosions in Two Kitchens in East St. Louis. Frozen water pipes burst in the kitchens of D. P.

About a year ago the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association put on the market a draught beer under the mame of “Miche- lob,’’ which found such favor with the con- Sumere that the first brewing was ex- hausted long before the second had fully matured, and thus it was that for several months many were disappointed at not finding this delicious beverage at their usual resorts.

Dress.ng for cold weather, in the motorman’s ‘style, means to sacrifice your personal appearance, and to look more like a walking bale of dry goods than a man on two legs. Pile on as many clotnes as will fit beneath the last garment to be ut on, is the motorman’s secret of keep- ng warm. He’s not so warm at that, for his job keeps him standing still, and his blood has no call to circulate rapidly unless he keeps moving his ons up and down, like a man on a tread mill, : “night DRESS OF AMOTORMAN UNION LABEL SAFEGUARDS, Organized Tobacco Workers Getting the Miners Into Line for the Bat- tle Against Syndicates. ‘In our warfare against the Tobacco Trust, the union label is our great safe- guard,” said Secretary Sweeney of the local Advisory Board of the St. Louis To- bacco Workers’ Union. ‘‘The miners are great users of tobacco and all of them are stfong in support of anti-trust measures. They will not chew or smoke tobacco not branded with our labeis, and in this trade we hit the trust hard. ‘To circumvent us the trust continually puts out new brands.

He knows what it means to | be cold, to be out in zero weather and to | face snow storms; within the last week he ' has gone through as much severe weather | as many an Alaskan trapper. He has not: so much as the tip of a frostbitten nose to show for his experience. He simply knows his business, that’s all. Grady is not the only motorman in St. Louis who keeps himself out of pneumonia’s way by dress- ing properly. As a matter of fact, he says, nearly all the men who pilot electric and cable cars have the same cold weather ‘‘uniform.”’ “Everything we wear is of the heaviest and most closely woven texture,” says Grady. “I put on three pairs of cotton eocks before pulling on my wooden-soled shoes. Some of the men wear boots, but I find that shoes are more satisfactory. On top of a thick suit of camel's hair un- derwear I wear two, other full suits of flannel underwear. Two palrs of woolen trousers protect my legs. It is the upper part of your body that suffers more, and I put on all the clothes I can lay my hands to.
