Intense Heat of the Day More Disastrous to American Soldiers Than the Bullets of the Natives’ Mauser Rifles. ‘=. _- 4 MANILA, Feb. 12.—Malabon, where Aguinaldo tried to make a stand with his demoralized army on his retreat to Ma- lalos, has fallen into the possession of the ‘American troops. The resistance offered by the natives was feeble compared to that shown in the first battles in front of Manila, The navy began the attack, the Monad- nock and Charleston throwing shells into the rebel camp. This was followed by a quick forward movement of the land forces and the day was won. Since Saturday the Filipinos have lost in killed, wounded and prisoners 6000 to 7000 men. Desertions have reduced psuin- aldo’s forces to 30,000. Gen, Otis has established pace mate at. Caloocan, : WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—According to to-night’s news from Manila Aguinaldo and the remnant of his army were driven from Malabon to-day by the gallantry of the Gen. Otis troops, supported by the monitor Monadnock of Admiral Dewey's fleet. The loss to our forces is reported to be one killed and 1! wounded. The loss to the enemy must have been heavy, but the num- ber is not known. _ As at Caloocan, the monitor Monadnock opened the proceedings with her dig guns, throwing shells into the Filipino camp. Soon after the Charleston's batteries began ‘ Operations, and the ghots from the ships 6hrieked through the air, exploding with terrible effect. _, The enemy's sharpshooters, in the jungle on the American left, had been particular- ly annoying ginée daylight, so the Third Artillery drove the rebels out of the jungle at noon. The Filipinos were driven from the de- fenses about Malabon, but set fire to the houses as they retreated toward the moun- tains. It is estimated that the strength of Aguinaldo’s army is about 4,000, which is made up in part of Ygarotes and moun-. taineers, Many of these are armed only with bows and arrows, and are clad in war feathers, The evident design of Gen. Otis’ cam- paign is to pursue the rebels even into the mountains and so surround them as _ to prevent the escape of Aguinaldo, who, it is now understood, is on his way to the insurgent capital, Malolos. Here it is thought he will attempt to make a last stand with what is left of his shattered ~. ,army, and when forced back the insurgent army will break into outlaw bands and seek the fastnesses of the mountains for se- curity. It is impossible for the rebels to check the progress of the American army, They ere, however, attempting to destroy the towns from which they are driven. San Roque an Estansia, near Cavite, were fired by the rebels, but the American troops extinguished the flames before they had gained great headway. Beyond Caloocan the railroad lines are still held by the rebels, but up to this point the American troops are in posses- sion and have a great amount of the roads’ rolling stock. Haytay and Canita have surrendered to the American advance guard. Hundreds of unarmed Filipinos are seek- ing asylum within the American lines. The cable reports say that the heat knocked out many more American soldiers than did the Filipino bullets, especially in the marsh lands north of Malabon, where the Kansas regiment was stationed. Fully a@ score of them were taken to the hospital. Among the incidente of the day it is elted that Privates Hartley and Fitch of ‘ the Thirteenth Minnesota Regiment were both wounded in the legs by the same bul- let, and Private Mitchell of Company B of the Kansas regiment, while assisting a couple of men to the rear, was shot in the left arm. The railroad is now open to Caloocan and supplies for the troops are being forwarded by rail. Caloocan is on the line of railroad con- mecting Manila with Malolos, the insur- gent capital, and it may be that the cap- ture of the first named town will make it possible to advance rapidly by rail upon the Insurgent headquarters to force the fighting and capture Aguinaldo. The oMctals Here were encouraged to-day by Gen, Otis’ quotation of the expressions of credible Filipinos to the effect that ‘\Aguinaido no longer has the power to keep ‘the insurgents under his lead. This points to an early submission of the insurgents to the American Government. None wi)! be allowed to come into Manila, however, until they have laid down thelr arms for good. It is believed that Aguinaldo will re- fuse to the last to make terms that would meet with the approval of Gen. Otis and that when the Insurrection falls through he will, if not captured, make his escape the continent. large body of the enemy in the jungle near Camp Dewey. The enemies were attacked and fell back upon the main line of the insurgents, The Fourteenth Infantry, the North Dakota Volunteers and the Fourth Cavalry then engaged the enemy and drove them toward the beach, Where one of the gunboats re- ceived them with a fusillade from the auto- matic Colt guns. The enemy’s loss is se- vere, and they scattered along the beach, seeking cover from the fire of the Amer- icans. Privates Ransom, Hensel and Saunders of Company F ofthe Fourteenth Infantry and two troopers of the Fourth Cavalry were wounded. The bodies of two members of the Call- fornia regiment were subsequently found in the bush to the right of the line. They had been shot to pieces by the enemy. One of these boddes was identified as that of Private Abnepham, but the other has not yet been identified. ROUT AT CALOOCAN. Gen Otis Describes the Movement of His Troops. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—The War De- partment to-day received a cablegram from Gen. Otis giving additional particulars of the battle of Caloocan and the casualities sustained by the United States troops. The defeat of the insurgents was com- plete and they will not be able to make any further show of resistance at that point. The dispatch from Gen. Otis is as fol- lows: Manile, Feb. 11.—MacArthur’s division is north of Pasig. River, . Yesterday his left wing, Otis’ brigade, made a partial wheel to right, resting left of the brigade on Ca- loocan, wheré the Insurgents, who were in eonsidérable force, were sharply driven, leaving a good many dead. Troops -in excellent condition; supplied with all necessities. Hospitals, notwith- standing wounded, have fewer patients than béfore engagements of 4th and 5th instants. Yesterday's engagement most successful. Belief of old resi- dents that Aguinaldo will be unable to gather in future any considerable force. Make total 292. OTIS. As soon as the last cablegram from Gen. Otis was posted the officers of the War Department were called upon to explain the peculiar language used in the beginning relative to the move- ments of the American troops. It ap- peared that this was strictly correct, and that it described what is believed to have been a simple movement towards straightening the line of American troops. Expressed generally, the id@éa is that the scene of the last engagement was to the north and northeast of Manila, about four miles out of town. The American troops had been advancing in a nortneasterly di- rection. ‘The brigade of Brigader-Ceneral H. G. Otis, a volunteer officer, was on the left of th’s line, the entire line being com- manded by Gen. McArthur. As the line was advanced in the movements made since last Sunday, Otis’ brigade bent backward from the maiz line so as to face more to- warda the north, so that the entire Ameri- can lines presented at this point an ob tuse triangle formation towarcs the enemy. Yesterday, according to Major-General Ct!s’ report, the left side of this triangle Was swung around so as to straignten out the line, with the result of clearing out the country between its former position and Caloocan, leaving the Americans oc- cupying that place, and straightening the entire line of McArthur’s division so that it faces again northeast. It was noticed at the War Department that Gen. Otis is acting, in the forward movements, only on evidences of an ingurgent purpose to re- organize and attack the Am-erican forces. This last movement upon Caloocan was caused by the gathering at tnat place of several thousand Filipinos, most of whom had missed the lesson admunistered to Aguinaldo’s men last Sunday and filled with a desire for vengeance, were threat- ening to attack Manila itself. Tnese men having also learned the quality of Ameri- can troops, it is hoped that there will be little further organized resistance on the part of the insurgents to the execution of or plans. Gen. Otis’ closing comment in- dicates that this belief is prevalent among the cooler heads at Manila 60 that what is to be apprehended now is tne conauct of an annoying guerrilla warfare on the part of the insurgents. Gen, Otis made no reference to the situ- ation at Iloilo and nothing has come to the Navy Department from that point, though the presence of several naval ves- sels there would seem to be warrant for an expectation of the early receipt of an important event, euch as the ianding of American troops. It is noted hére that the commissioners from Aguinaldo to the insurgents at lloilo, who were arrested last Sunday just as they were about to sail from Manila, have not only been auowed to pro- ceed on their journey, but have been con- veyed on United States vesseis along with the troops, be conclusion awn prams ee is yore FIVE BABIES LEFT 10 Olt Found MHalf-Frozen and Starved on an Island. OLDEST ONLY 10 YEARS OF AGE. ABANDONED IN SEVERE AND PERILOUS WEATHER. Heartrending Plight of the Children of John Newman Near St. Charles Discovered by the Merest Accident. Five small children, brothers and sisters, named Newman, were rescued from an isl- and in the Missouri! River’ opposite 8t. Charles when cold and hunger were about to end the miserable existence of the de- serted infants. Two had passed into unconsciousness; all had frost-bitten extremities; none had eat- en for days; their only ‘shelter was a storm-beaten hut; there was no protecting arm stronger than their own; no motherly care for the babes save that of the eldest child, 10 years old; no father, mother or friend within reach; they had neither food nor fucl; they had been left to perish in each other’s arms on a barren, ice- bound island, wind swept and deserted as the Arctics. Only a mile from a city, the infants had died but for an accident. It chanced that a St. Charles man crossed the frozen Missouri River to the island. He found the children and hastened back to the city for food and clothing for them. The people of St. Charles immediately made up a rescue party and went to the island hut. They provided for the children and made arrangements to. place them in an orphan asylum. The island is an immense stretch of Jand tnaat has been separated from the mainland on the south by a deviation from the channel of part of the Missouri's waters which years ago formed a slough at the base of the shore cliffs. In many seasons the slough dries up and the island be- comes a part of the mainland. It js alj- most a mile across the river to St. Charles. There is no village on the .soutn side nearer than five miles. There are several huts on the island ‘tn- habited in summer by fishermen and truck farmers. John Newman was one of the latter. His wife, the mother of the five children, died several months ago and the 10-year-old girl assumed the duties of mother to her brothers and sisters. O. T. Cottle, the man who discovered the waifs, did so by the merest accident. While on the island he looked into one of the bleak little huts out of curiosity. What he saw was a picture of tragic mis- ery too horrible to conceive in fiction; the tale he heard equaled the legends of Si- berian brutality. Five frail, childish forms, with emaciated, whitened faces, were lying in a heap on a decrepit bed, with a dirty, threadbare coverlet over them. Snow filled the fur- rows in their covering and the whistling wind which entered with the snow whirled the white flakes about the barren room as they softly filtered through cracks fn the roof. A stove there was, but of fire none. The only warmth in the ill-named bed was what emanated from the baby bodies which were within a few hours of the icy grip of death. Three pairs of hungry, hunted, pleading baby eyes looked up into the face of the man, Two pairs of baby eyes had closed. Two baby minds had passed from misery’s depths into blessed unconsciousness. Mamie, the o'dest, was one of the three. She had used such cheering words as her despairing heart permitted her to keep the others from succumbing, and had held on to life courageously against the human and doubly childish desire to cry out and give in to death. | Oottle’s arrival aroused Mamie fully. She told him of their terrible plight. She sobbed and cried for joy and sorrow. The poor child thought the two who had been silent so long, her younger sisters, were dead. ; Cottle found they still lived. He wrapped them up in his coat and overcoat, broke up wooden things in the hut and built a warm fire. Meanwhile Mamie was telling the story of their desertion. A week ago, she said, turned no more. and a scant supply of other food substan- tials and’a meager woodpile. For weeks the weather had been severe. of the existing blizzard came the day after the father left them. Each succeeding day was colder and each night that enveloped the island made the lot of the children more miserable. Mamie dealt out the food sparingly and burned the wood economically. She noped her father would retract his threat ana return to have them. she held to tha hope until she and the others became too weak from insufficient food and Increasing coj- to attempt a trip across the ice blocks to St. Charles.

Nor did she know when it was that her little sisters cease erying for papa .and closed their eyes in what fear told her was their final sieep; it was probably less than an hour befere Cottle’s arrival. To the confused mind of the chiid it seemed a day at least. Cottle revived the little ones, who seemed in the briefest time possible with others to ald. They carried bundles of clothing and blankets, food and stimulants. A physician went with them to the hut. “to time : ae in & . ie ’ Pee: (a ig 2 x a : s ™ dead, before starting for help.

Freiherr Von Herman Said to Have Threatened to Cut Off Richard Weightman’s Ears in Revenge for Printed Utterances. Special tc the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—Fretherr Beno von Herman of the German Embassy has declared war against the United States, and has selected Richard Weightman, Sec- retary to the War Investigation Commit- tee and a well-known editorial writer, as his combatant. Mr. Weightman’s paper, in line with many other newspapers, has been severe in its comments upon the alleged German in- terference with American interests in the Philippines and Samoa. The two men met inthe vestibule of the yvltra exclusive Metropolitan Club. Mr. Herman in a treatening manner denounced the Washington editor for what he called “the malicious lies’’ which he had: been printing “in the dirty sheet” of which Mr. Weightman was editor. He leclared that if they were repeated he would publicly chastise the author on the streets of Washington. The members of the club say he threatened to cut off the editor's ears. It is understood that Mr. Weightman consulted with the proprietor of his paper as to whether or not he should not make public the affair, but was advised that the resulting notoriety would only strain the relations between the United States and Germany still further. This being the case Mr. Weightman filed statements of the facts and a complaint against the attache with the directors of the Metropolitan Club, of which both are members. These gentlemen found themselves itn a most embarrassing position. To suspend Mr. Herman would have been to personally offend each representative of the diplomat- ic corps in the club. To have called into question the statement filed by Mr. Weight- man would have been to personaly offend wart and every one of his friends in the club. With characteristic servility the Board of Directors resolved that as the incident in controversy had occurred outside the doors of the club 2.6 action could be taken by the club. But this resolution has not met with the approval of the friends of either of the principals of the affair. What the outcome will be is impossible to predict. It may be that the editor and the attache wil] go into one of the Southern States where the sentiment in favor of the code Is yet stronger than the law againet it. Jt may be that a court of honor will be called to adjust the differences between the gentle- men in order to allay the feeling which now exists between their respective friends. As Mr. Weightman’s paper has not changed its editorial policy as regards the troubles in Samoa, a great deal of curios- ity is rife 12s to what will happen when the editor and Mr. Herman again come face to face. KIPLING SUED FOR $90,000 English Novelist’s American Brother- in-Law Claims Damages for Al- leged False Imprisonment BRATTLEBORO, Vt., Feb. 11.—Beattie Balestier, a brother of Mrs. Rudyard Kip- ling, left here for New York to-day with the avowed purpose of bringing suit against his famous brother-in-law, claiming dam- ages of $50,000 for alleged malicious prose- cution and false arrest in 1896. About two years ago Balestier and Kip- ling met on a highway near Brattleboro and had an altercation. Kipling caused the arrest of Balestier end claimed under oath in court a few days Jater that his brother-in-law had threatened to take his life. Young Balestier was bound over to the grand jury and put under bonds to keep the peace. Mr. Kipling, however, sailed for England in August and the case was dropped. Young Balestier claims that he has had no opportunity to tell his story, and he now seeks ‘justice in bringing suit. Balestier is regarded here as a gentleman. He is bright, witty and generous to a fault. He is one of the six heirs to the estate of more than $600,000. Balestier received an His generosity got him in debt to Brattleboro tradesmen in a small way, and some of the creditors to ask Mr. Kipling regarding his brother-in-law’s obligations.

A Genuine Raphael Worth $16,000 Said to Have Been Found Among Rubbish in Paris. Special Cable te the Post-Dispatch, Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. PARIS, Feb. 1L.—French art collectors are agitated over the discovery of an alleged Raphael in a carpenter's shop, A picture dealer required a frame, and at the carpenter's shop he found one around an old picture which he bought for a dollar. The carpentr told him he might as well take the canvas. This canvas was thrown into a corner of the dealer’s shop, and remained unnoticed entil an artist took it home, cleaned and restored it. The picture then was recog- nized as a Raphael, a variation of the pic- ture known as Adam and Eve of the Vat- ican. » car- i that oy e ST. LOUIS, Feb. 12, 3:30 a. m. ‘An average of thermometer readings, tel- ephoned the Post-Dispatch from four sec- tions of the city at this hour, gives the | temperatures for St. Louis as 16 degrees below zero, a drop of 20 degrees since this second cold wave reached here at 3 o’clock yesterday morning. The mercury is steadily falling and all telegraphic advices and weather bureau forecasts indicate that it will probably reach 2 below before nightfall. That this night will go down in history as the coldest known since the Government Weather Bureau was established now seems assured, Such will prove the case for the greatest part of the United States, for, the extreme” cold extends from the Atlantic seaboard to the Rocky Mountains, and it is nipping weather far below Mason & Dixon's line. In the far West a furious snow storm is raging, this being the 12th day of its fury. Cattle are dying by the hundreds of thou- sands on the plains. From many points come reports of great damage to fruit trees. It is strange to read in the face of all this news, that London is enjoying spring- like weather, the mercury registering 67, and in Manila soldiers are being prostrated by heat. The second intensely cold wave of the winter commenced to &bread over St. Louts at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon. At noon it was a single degree above zero, and with- in the next three hours, under the full glare of an unclouded midday sun, the mercury dropped 4 degrees. Thence on through the evening and night the northwesterly winds drove the quicksilver steadily down, and the cold had not reached its full severity before sunrise. If this is not the coldest day of the year, it is because, somewhere in the intricate mechanism of meteorology, a cog has slipped. If the temperature is not well toward 20 degrees below zero, the poor of the city shivering in their scant-sheltering sheds and tents, the fires roaring in the stoves of a thousand homes, ana the robin, poor thing, frozen for all the warmth under his wing, it will be because things truly are not always what they seem. For Dr. Hyatt was sure of his prophesy yesterday. He remained at his post until late in the afternoon, and wnen he de- scended from his high signal tower he was in that extremely good humor which comes to a prophet who has proven his prophesy. “I can’t miss it," he said. “it is the safest forecast Iever made. The cold wave is descending, unbroken, down the Central Valley, and I am sure that if to-morrow is not the coldest day St. Louis has known it will have violated its promise. “The wave, which ds upon us now, Is the something from which all the miseries of the week have come. Like every other thing which moves, a cold wave has some- thing behind it. We have been watching since the 28th of Jafuary to learn what was behind the cold wave of the eurly week, and now it has come within view—the high- est barometer in the history of the North- west. It comes from northwest Canada, the coldest place on earth, and by a ¢ombi- nation of atmospheric conditions favorable to its descent to the Atlantic, it is now en- abled to move out of its birth piace with every accompaniment of extreme cold char- acteristic of the far North. I- fully expect to see it establish a cold weather record throughout the greater part of the Unuited States, for it is not often that we have such a cold wave upon the he@&is ot a cold wave. The announcement that a second cold / wave, of even greater severity than that ' St. Touls has had, is coming, has occa- sioned considerable alarm in the depart- menta upon which the municipality de- pends for its water for fire-fighting and for household needs. ; Water Commissioner Holman eald yes- terday: “We are not prepared for a siege of zero weather in St. Louls. We are not in a latitude In which such weather as we have had this week is expected, and ff we are to have weather of even more severity It is a matter for alarm. A‘ sharp touch of cold, even when it is as cold ag it has been this week, is not especially dangerous. But continued cold through severai days would make trouble. “Our water pipes and piug connections are deep enough, we have tnought, to be well below the frost line. “ur plug valves are four feet under, ground, and they are covered with a stratum of chloride of cal- cium, which is supposed to be impervious to any degree of cold.

We shall have our hands full if the weather gets colder than it hae been.” , Chief Swingley of the Fire Department is concerned for the water pipes. He said: “We have been warned in good time of the coming of the cold, and, if it gets the best of us, it will not, anyway, have caught us napping. We have little fear for the underground plugs. Of the uprights we cannot feel so safe. Several of them have already frozen, and, if it gets as cold to- night ag the indications seem to prove it will, we shall make the best of a bad mat- ter and put at least two of the engines to work making the rounds of the plugs and thawing them out. It is impossible to weep, all the fire plugs in St. Louis in perfect or-' der when the temperature is down to 10 degrees below zero. They are not planted that deep in the ground, and the water, in spite of every precaution, will get into some of them. The mains are sare. What danger there is is in the connections with the pright plugs. “I have ordered that at least twenty pounds of steam shall be kept up in every fire engine in the city through the night, and there will be no waste of time if a fire breaks out."

Insufficint Transportation Facilities Have Worked Mischief. On account of a lack of sufficient trans- portation facilities, St. Louis is experienc ing a temporary coal famine. All the coal dealers in the city are short on their orders and there i#@ little probabili- ty that the strictures in the market will be removed before the middle of the week. Dealers say there is a bountiful supply of coal at the various mines in Central and Southern Illinois, but it has been im- possible to bring it to St. Louis tn sufficient quantities to supply all demands. The usuai run of orders has been trebled during the cold weather of the last two weeks, and the numerous storms and the closing of the river to ferry boat business have delayed traffic so that coal traing destined for St. Louls have been sidetracked at towns ad- jacent to East St. Louls. While the dae« mands.on the bins of St. Louls coal dealera have been abnormal,there has been no way in which the supply might be replenished.

They Are Promoters and Were Largely Influential in the Formation of the Biscuit and Tin Plate Trusts. CHICAGO, Feb. 01—Some men make money at every turn of the hand, but lose | hepe and grit the moment fortune turns against them. This is the story of two brothers who, 12 months ago, were %,000,- 000 “in the hole,”’ but who never lost their pluck. William H. Moore and J. H. Moore, brothers in blood and in business, famous ' gs the promoters of the Diamond Match Company, the men whcse operations led to the closing of the Chicago Stock Ex- change in August, 18%, have set a new mark for stock operatcrs to aim at, and directed the attention of the world to Chi- cago in an original manrer. ‘The Moore brothers can finance any- thing,” said a conservative La Salle st. banker. “They could build the Nic a anal and corner Wall st. on the side, They are not the kind of people who mere- ag -a meee. ae when they see it. “They create good things.” And this is the secret of making $4,000,000 ‘{n a year. When Diamond Match went down the Moore brothers did not go down with it. They were. bankrupt, but on top. The capital they had left was not the kind that is passed over bank counters. ' Jt was not the kind a man carries in his , wallet, Nobody would take a check against it. But it was mighty good. ' “T gtarted life with nothin but these hands and this head,”’ said Chauncey De- pew once to a Bowery audience. “But that head's a peach, Chauncey,” yelled a gamin in the back row. So, a ear o, W. H. and J. H. Moore started mn, each with a pair of hands and a head. I‘he hands were personable and ordihary. But the head—each head—wags ‘‘a peach.” Those were panicky times when Dia- mond Match went up in smoke. New York Biscuit, im which the Moores were also heavy investors, sad. for their work. Biscuit common stock is now quoted at 64 cents on the dol- lar. The gross increase in the shares of this company has been $17,000,000 since Feb- ruary, 1897. Brokers began to say: “I told you so. The Moores are all right. No plunging about that clean-cut deal.” foore stocks, already first rate, went up eeveral ints. Last December the fine hand of W. H. Moore and J. H. Moore was noted in the American Tin Plate promotion. They or- ganized this company out and out, with a capital of $50,000,000, by the consolidation of forty concerns, and $10,000,000 worth of common stock was handed over to them to pay for the cigars they had emoked in the deal. This stock is quoted at 40 cents on the dollar. The gross increase in the shares of American Tin Plate has been $11,- 200,000. With the profit of these transac- tions the Moorse settled all obligations. . we owe you anything? Well, here it is," they said, and the check-writing went on until a $4,000,000 debt was wiped out. There was money left, a great deal of it. People with money to place are now tum- bling over each other to get in the neigh- borhood of the men who make $4,000,000 a ear without any capital. Whenever the oores back anything after this the world, and Salle st. in particular, will pick it for a winner. Out of the dust of de- feat there springs for them a magic flower of yore, W. H. Moore and J. H. Moore are about as close together as brothers can be. The look like twins. They act alike, they thin alike. They were partners in the law busi- ness. They married sisters, the daughters of E. A. Small, a prominent lawyer well known to old Chicagoans. The Moore brothers combined legal knowledge with business ability. They had the rare fore- sight which makes organizers and promo- ters. In literature they call it ‘creative ability” or “imagination.” From managin affairs for great clients like the Adams an American Express companies and the Vanderbilt fast freight lines, they branched out into enterprises of their own. FIVE YFARS IN PRISON. Verdict in the Cantrell Murder Trial at “Dallas, Tex. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch.

GERMANY IS OUR FRIEND, Declaration by Minister of Foreign Affairs. NO FRICTION AT MANILA. RECENT STORIES DENOUNCED AS “FATTEST CANARDS.” Important Utterance of the German Government’s Representative in Answer to Questions in the Reichstag. BERLIN, Feb. 11.—In a speech in the Reichstag to-day the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Von Buelow, emphaticaily declared that Germany only intended to protect the life and property of Germans in the Philippine Islands and added. “In the dispatch by Germany of a squad- ron to East Asia during the Hispano-Amer- ican war we were guided solely by the legitimate obligations imposed upon us of protecting German subjects and trade at Manila. We were never, for a single mo- ment, disloyal to honorable neutrality. (Cheers) “I emphatically declare that ments which have appeared in a of the foreign press regarding alleged Ger- ‘man designs in the Philippines or Germam support of the Filipinos against the Amer- Yeans are thie most barefaced falsehoods. (Cheers.) ‘The assertion that the German Consul- General at Hong Kong sold arms to the Bilipinos is one of the plumpest canards that ever fluttered from a muddy pole. “The intercourse between the German and American naval officers at Manila was characterized by a spirit of mutual cour- Our naval officers conducted them- gelves throughout in a magner to which no blame can be attached or exception taken, and the conduct of the Americans toward them just as chivalrous, (Cheers.) © “In protecting German lives and prop- erty from injury within the limits of strict neutrality we exercised what was our just right and fulfilled-a national duty (cries of ‘Quite right’), and we shall never allow anything to deter us from exercising that right. and fulfilling that duty with calm de- liberation, but to their full extent. “After the conclusion of the war our ships withdrew from the Philippines with the exception of a single crubeer. “We do not believe that the safety of German citizens was jeopardized under American protection and we also hope to see an uninterrupted further development of our trade in the Philippines and the West Indies under American rwe, (Cheers.) “I believe that between two etrong manly nations frankness and straightforwardness is the best policy, and the best reason for political il} humor, more imaginary than real. The mutual relations between the two governments have never ceased to be g00d and friendly, and the distinguished representative of the United States at Ber- lin (A, D. White) recognized that tn his @peech here on Independeste day in a man- ner in which must have redounded to our Satisfaction, He declared that fhe atti- tude of the representatives of Germany during the war was such as the Americans could have only expected it to be. “For my part, I declare that the politica] attitude of the American Government of- fered us no reason for the Objections from the standpoint’ of reasonable politics. There fs, indeed, no reason whatever why the two powers should not etand in the best relationship with one another. (Cries of ‘very true.’’) “I see no point where German and Amer- ican intereets meet in hostility, nor do (Il See any point in the future where the lines of their devolpment must necessarily cross each other inimically. Moreover, the sym- Ppathies and antipathies of the nations also exercise a weighty influence against those it is usually difficult to contend with for log’cal reasons, “In America it js very generally presumed that there prevails in Germany a feeling of spite and dislike against America. Here there is a widespread idea that the Amer- ans are animated by particularly unfa- Vorable sentiment toward us. “I believe that the people of America are tO @ great extent in the dark relative to the views of German public opinion regard- ing the War. German opinion was never blind to the brilliant qualities of the Amer- iCAna, and never begrudged them the fruits Which rewarded their efforts and their vice tories. On the other hand, German opin- ion has not refrained from expressing hu- man sympathy with the brave and severeiy tried Spanish nation. (Applause.) This has n. misrepresented and ‘biased in a perfidious manner by the foreign news- Papers in order to excite distrust against us in America. This, -however, has in no way affected our relations with America Wthich do not date from yesterday.’’ ‘ Baron Von Bueciow recalled the early y,ec- ognition by Frederick the Great of the in- dependence of the United States and dwelt upon the support which Cermany gave to the North is the war of secession. His statements were greete ; pause Sreeted with loud = ap- ontinuing, he sald nowhere century had Amertea had a beatae ie Standing or a better appreciation than ir Germany. He hoped, tn view of the enor- mous political-commercial {nterests of the two countries and especially in view of ths increase of American imporis into Germany. which already exceed a balf million of marke—that there would be anxieiy on the part of the United States to avoid all cases of egonomic friction. He referred to the millions of Germans in America, “whu “cleave to and serve the country loyally, but without forgetting the motherland.” Baron Von Buelow, in conclusion, ex- = the hope and conviction that, with reciprocity, mutual considermtion, enyu- twal respect and justice and fairness which are essential to the proper relationship of aig ae self-respecting people, the rela- | between the two neilons we al- Ways be tranquil, firm and friendly. (Loud prolonged applause.) the state- portion tesy. was : BAe oaR Yt dom ek weer me a Yt Poteet ae ’ ee ae ‘The Count's speech was called out by an- ai. tion of the commercial relations between the United States and Germany. The Min- ister of Foreign Affairs, Baron Von Buelow, intimated his readiness to reply forthwith. In introducing the interpellation, Count Von Kanitz referred ‘to the prohibitive ef. fects of the Dingley bill, and contrastea the decrease of German exports with the increase of American exports. He gaid that to denounce the treaties containing the favored nation clause was now 6carcely nec- essary, as the Americans no longer fully observed their treaty. The Americans must be made to under. stand that the Germans had no need what. ever to obtain their whole list of neces. earies from them alone. If one country closed its markets to another, good com. mercial relations could not permanently continue. In this connection {it was in the Interest of German agriculture to uphold the pur- chasing power of the country against American measures. A tariff war was cer. tainly undesirable, but in the event of euch a struggle, America, owing to the greater volume of her imports, had much more to lose than Germany. The Count concluded with expressing the noge that the Federa] Government would act both cautiously and energetically. His remarks were applauded by the Rightists. . Baron Von Buelow replied that {t was impossible, in view of the pending nego- tiations, to make an exhaustive declaration of the position taken by the German and American Governments. In the _ specific question Germany's differences with Amer- ica was mainly attributable to conflicting interpretations of the favored nation treat- ment, assured by the treaty of 1828 (loud Conservative interruptions). The Baron then read part of the treaty and continued: “The German Government has always considered these clauses of, the treaty as implying unlimited most favored nation treatment for Germany in all tariff ques- tions. Concessions of any other kind which the United States might grant to a third state in return for some special compen- sation, Germany would only claim if she made a corresponding return to the United States. From this view is based the well- weighed meaning and text’ of the treaties. Germany cannot recede from this position.”’ Dr. Lieber, the Centrist leader, followed. He acknowledged the difficulty of discuss- ing in the Reichstag negotiations which were still in suspense, but they all agreed in regarding as wrong the interpretation of article 9, of which the Americans were 60 enamored, Such an interpretation could not have held water even at the time of the conclusion of the original treaty. Be- sides the sugar and tonnage differences, Dr. Lieber continued, Germany seriously ob- jected to the arbitrary customs valuations at New York. But with the feeling of actual irritation abroad they must be doubly careful not to pour oil on the flames. This irritation, the speaker pointed out, prevails especially in the economic sphere. A pan-European tariff ccalition against the United States was not feasible: but eventually Germany would be forced to adopt an autonomist tariff. Dr. Lieber said he had expected that the uneasiness caused by political rumors, par- ticularly in connection with the Philippines, must be allied to the answer to the inter- pellation, and he therefore requested the Minister for Foreign Affairs to take a fur- ther statement regarding the political re- lations between Germany and the United States. Prince Herbert ‘Bismarck said he thought nothing good was done in a hurry, and the Reichstag ought to be content with the well-weighed statement read by the For. eign Minister. Certainly the government’s representatives who were present deserve the confidence of the whole house. Prince Bismarck expressed the opinion that the American treatment was unfair, and he des‘red that it should be repaid in kind. He also expressed the trope that the Reichstag would show unanimous confi- dence in: the government. During the delivery of Prince Bismarck’s speech reference to Frederick the Great’s recognition of American independence and American protection of Germans during the siege of Paris were vociferously cheered. Ambassador White has now received de- tailed instructions regarding Samoa, both by mail and cable. He declined to give their nature, but said: “I do not see any reason to change the opinion I have. pre- viously expressed that the difficulties will be entirely adjusted diplomatically. My instructions have not made the task of | coming to an amicable understanding more difficult. I have had several conferences with Baron Von Buelow (the German Min- ister of Foreign Affairs) during the week about Samoa, and the Phillipines and our commercial relations. 1 found the German Government very conciliatory.”’ Mr. White utterly disbelieves the reports that Germany has financially supported Aguinaldo and similar stories. With refer- ence to latter allegations, a high Govern- ment official said to the Associated Press correspondent here: “These reports are ut- terly baseless. It is true that a commercial] syndicate for thé export of arms and am- munition has existed at Hong Kong for years, and is still doing a thriving business. Ite members are English, Americans, Jap- anese and Chinese, but it does not contain a single German. The Consul of Germany certainly does not belong to the syndicate, nor is he in any way interested in the arms and ammunition trade.” American affairs have occupied a large space in the German press during the past week. The events at Manila have been fol- lowed keenly and the press comments are plentiful and varied. Generally speaking, the papers are rather sympathetic to the Americans, but fears are expressed that the task of subduing the Filipinos will ‘prove harder than the Americans suppose. The Vossiche Zeitung, in an article wishing the Americans euccess, says: “If President MecKgnley insists on establishing a perma- nent American rule in the Philippines, the United States stand just on the threshold of a colonial war, of whose dangers and ex- pense, blood and money, the American newspaper strategists have probably no adequate idea,’ ; The Kreuz Zeitung says: ‘“‘Whoever looke over the situation calmly must admit that the final victory of the Americans is not only certain but desirable. The Tagolos, with their Aguinaldo, are certainly inca- pable of self-government. We are unable to discover in this Aguinaldo, who has played with more than hostile intentions between two powers, has any traits of rea] greatness.”’ The Kreuz Zeitung then rejoices that the relations between Germany and the United States are improving d pays ai high tribute to Mr, White fof his steady efforts in that direction. The paper next advises a eiagy om of the Samoan Islands, Germany taking Uponu, upon which Apia, the cap- ital, is situated, and which contains more than half the total population of *:he en. tire group, and the United States and Great Britain dividing Savali, Tutuila and Manua. —_— ee The commercial relations betwee: United States and Germany nave, caoieae absorbed chief attention, part!» on account of the Reichstag interpellation on the sub- ject to-day, introduced by Count Von Kaniiz, the Agrarian leader, with the ap- proval .of the government, which hopes thereby to exert pressure on the Washing- ton government, which, it is claimed here. Is hanging back needlessly and interposing obstacies in the way of a mutual under- standing regarding reciprocit y. The Agrarian press, this week, ain abuses the United States, and the Centrists, who backed the interpeliation, print in their monthploce, the Cologne Volks Zeitung, a aa AgRTessive referring to i tariff! matters. | re a “Berg . man export from the American market. American braggadocia pretends that Amer- ica has nothing to lose and that she can frighten Germany by increasing brutality, But we belfeve that in the end they will recognize that they have to deal with a people who will not be frightened. First of all, the Reichstag must make it plain that German patience in the face of in- cessant American provocation has ite lim- its and that we are determine? to defend ourselves unless they learn to behave sensibly. This may favorably influence the negotiations. The Centriste, in supporting the interpellation, do not intend to rush Germany into a terrific war with the United States. We are aware that such a war hurts both parties and industries would suffer. But Americans, by their to- ta] disregard of treaties, have already in- jured our exports so seriously that it seemg necessary to show them that we can hit back, otherwise they will behave worse and worse, and injure us more than a tariff war.”’ The foregoing article from the organ of the dominant faction in the Reichstag is certainly significant. The Kreuz Zeitung Prints a similar but more moderate edi- torial, while the Deutsche Zeitung has an extremely aggressive article, concluding: “As pressure upon our own government, whéch has always shown weakness towards the United States, and as pressure to be used diplomatically against those gentle- men at Washington, this interpellation is certainly desirable and welcome.”’ The Liberal press takes the opposite view. The National Zeitung deems the inter- Pellation untimely, the Freissinnige Zeitung says it is merely infended to facilitate the policy of agricultural development for the benefit of the Agrarian, and the Tageblatt strongly opposes a tariff war. The vex- atious application of the German tariff on American imports has in no wise ceased and during the past few months American fruit has been treated with unfairness at all the tariff stations, particularly Ham- burg, Bremen and Emmerich, on the frontier of Holland. The attention of Mr. White has just heen called to a case which occurred on Jan. 8, when a hundred cases of the finest dried California pears, consigned to a merchant of Dusseldorf, were stopped at Emmerich by the Germans who advised the consignee that the lot could not pass because the San Jose scale had been found among the pears. The consignee demurred, pointing out that the peans were dried by the ap- proved California méthod and that the scales, therefore, must be dead and harmless. The officials reported, a week later, that an expert had been unable to determine whether the scales were dead or alive, but that in any case it had been decided that American dried fruit was cal- culated to spread the San Jose scale, unless so dried as to render it ‘“‘perfectly dry, hard and brittle.’’ The consignee anewered that such treat- ment of choice Californian fruit would make it valueless. and unfit for food, and called attention to the scientific fact that no San Jose scale could survive the Cali- fornian process. His remonstrances, how- ever, had no effect. The Cologne Gazette, commenting on the case, says: CLEAR AS SUNLIGHT. — ELECTRIC LAMP THAT NEEDS NO GLASS BULB. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright 1899, by the Press Publishing Co. LONDON, Feb. 11.—Prof. Walther Nernst of Gottingen University, a leading author- ity on physical chemistry, has invented a new electric lamp which, he claims, re- duces the cost of electricity by one half. It needs no glass, but a band is made with a filament much less fragile than the carbon ones used in the Edison lamps, The Post-Dispatch correspondent saw Nernst’s lamp in operation at the Society cf Arts. James Swinburne, who is Nernst’s representative, in explaining the ad- vantages of the lamp, said: “In the first place this lamp needs no inclosing in glass. It burns in the open air. The filament is essentially a thin rod of highly refractory oxides, which as it will not convey the electric current at ordinary temperatures, has to be heated to a dull red before the electric current will flow. This heat can be produced by a match or a spirit or other device. Once the rod reaches the desired temperature it becomes white. “The light given you see !{s near sun- light in quality as possible. The lamps can be made all sizes and utilizer for street purposes, giving a light less daz- ziing but more steady and vastly superior to the gas lamp. “The invention is of very recent date, but already the lamps are made to last 500 hours as against the 1000-hour life of usual electric glow lamps. It requires less than one-half the quantity of elec- trical energy, and compared lMght for light with the glow lamps, the consumer will benefit very largely by the introduction.” Electrical experts present at the de- monstration admitted the excellence and the illuminating power of the Nernst lamp, and the meter:showed that the inventor’s claim as to its economic properties were scarcely exaggerated. The general opinion prevailing that the necessity of using other artificial light to start the lamp is a serious defect. Nernst is now engaged in ments to remove it. INVENTOR’S SAD END. Made a Fortune by His Genius, but Frittered It Away. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch, Copyright. 18998, by Press Publishing Companrs. LONDON, Feb. 11.-—A pathetic story of American inventive genius that had de- veloped into a craze for patents was told at the inquest on the body of William Wal- lace Dunn, aged 75 years, an American by pirth, who was found insensible on a side- walk In an archway of a road in High- gate and was removed to Islington In- firmary. He died the same evening, the postmortem showing apoplexy as the cause of death. Dunn came from New York and settled in London in 1879. A few years ago he invented an ingenious apparatus for drill- ing rock, which was a great success, but he frittered away the proceeds by en- deavoring to get numerous other inventiona patented. He was reduced to extreme poverty and had latterly been living alone in a little bungalow on Muswell Hill, which was loaned by a friend who, with others, joined in providing the poor en- gineer with food and money sufficient for his needs. But he persisted in spending even the funds provided by charity upon his craze, and to the last wrote letters to the nobility appealing for aid and. in- fluence. BROUGHT ONLY $425.

Her Husband Recently Declined to Pay for Her Costume, but He Gener- ously Escorted Her to the Dance. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Feb. 11.—The London season opened brilliantly with the sulbscription ball in aid of the Gordon Memorial College at Khartoum. It was given in Hotel Cecil, and was patronized exclusively by the smartest set. There were present five duchesses, three dukes and minor nobilities without end, and the ball in every way was a trium- phant success. The belle of the evening was Enid Wilson, sister of Joan Wilson, to whom the Duke of Manchester is said to be engaged. Enid’s beauty created a veritable sensation. She realizes in the flesh the famous portrait painter Greuze’s most exquisitely lovely creations—perfectly regular features, nut brown hair, dazzling color, tall, graceful figure and charming. The Duchess of Marlborgugh looked deli- cate, but danced several times. She was in white, with a collar three inches deep in priceless pearls and dlamonds, and a small coronet. She sat out two dances with the Earl of Chesterfield in one of the loges overlooking the ball room, which were let at $250 each for the night. Lady Randolph Churchill wore a white satin gown, but no jewels. She danced a g00d deal with a handsome dark young guardsman. The most beautifully dressed woman present was pretty Mrs. Hwfa Williams. Her husband recently declined to pay for her costumes, but he escorted her to the ball. Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain, whose husband is ill with the gout, was dressed simply in demi-toilette—black satin with no pre- tense at being up to date. Mrs. Arthur Paget, as the honorary sec- retary, has already engaged all the lead- ing society women to hold stalls at the great bazaar in Niagara Ice Rink next May, in aid of the Charing Cross Hos- pital. The prominent part taken by American women in London society is vividly illus- trated by the list of stall-holders, Musicland stall will be in charge of Lady Randolph Churchill, assisted by all the Ital- ian opera stars. America stall will be in the care of Mrs. Mackay, Mrs. Clarence Mackay, Mrs. Brad- ley Martin and Mrs. R@nalds. Bookland will be in the keeping of Mrs. Craigie, the Duchess of Leeds and Lady Jeune. The Amertray Bar wil be under the direc- tion of Mrs. Brown Potter and Lady Mary Sackville. Flowerland will be governed by Mrs, Ar- thur Paget, the Duchess of Marlborough, the Countess of Craven and Mrs, Goelet. Miss Goelet will assist the Duchess of Somerset and the Dowager Countess of Chesterfield in the refreshment department, This whole function is being organized by Mrs. Arthur Paget. Lady Terence Blackwood, formerly Miss Flora Davis of New York, has a daughter born at her London residence, Cadogan Square, and is doing well. Sir Herbert Naylor Leyland, who won Lord Curzon of Kedleston’s constituency last autumn from the Tories, the husband of Jenny Chamberlain, was unable to take his seat at the opening of Parliament ow- ing to continued ill health. He and Lady Leyland are in the Swiss Engadine. He eannot venture into the English climate until April. The gayest and most select of the sea- son’s hunt balls was at Melton, where all the emart and pretty young married women were gathered together. Under the pres- ent dispensation of society, they are the real attraction for the men, not the un- married girls. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough were there. The latter wore Vanderbilt pearls, which she only wears on the grandest occasions. The climax of the night was Pas de Deux, danced with every professional air and kick by Mrs. Herbert Aequith, nee Margot Tennant, and Capt. Lawson. It brought down the hall, though it was something novel to see an ex-Cabinet Minister’s wife giving such an outre performance. The Bradley-Martins have bought Col, Kennard’s house in Chesterfield Gardens, Mayfair, next door to the one they pur- chased from Count Czoborowski. They in- tend to knock the two into one, thus having a London residence large enough for en- tertaining on the grandest scale. STANDARD OIL AGAIN WINS. Carries Its Point Before the House of Commons Committee. LONDON, Feb. 11.—The agitation to com- pel by- legislative enactment the raising of the petroleum flashlight from 73 to 100 de- gress has apparently failed, thogh most of the evidence given before the House of Commons s@lect committee showed that lamp accidents have been mainly due to the flash ofl The government intends to introduce a bill, however, to prevent the sale of dan- gerous lamps and to regulate the storage of petroleum, leaving the flash point un- touched. This is a victory for the Standard Oil Trust, which supplies this country with low flash ol]. and a corresponding disappoint. ment to the Scotch Of] Co. and the Ruasian petroleum companies, whose oil is now manufactured at the 100 fash point, but at a higher price. The bill is likely to meet with flerce oppo- sition. and a compromise on flash point may be forced on the government. SPANISH VILLAGES BURNED. Forest Fires Raging in the Mountains Near Oveido. OVEIDO ,Spain, Feb. 11.—Disastrous con- flagrations have occurred in the mountains northwest of this city. The villages of Vil- lar, Murtas, Lanaces and Caesavide have been wiped out. Many herds of cattle have perished and other vi are threatened, All the efforts.to quench the fires have been FOR AMERICAN WOMEN CLUB TO BE ORGANIZED SOON IN LONDON. TO BE A BOND OF UNION. It Will Help Many Who Now Lead Lonely Lives Away From Home and Kindred. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Feb. 11.—American women in London certainly have things going their way these days, and their latest undertak- ing is the formation of an American Club. Mrs. Hugh Reid-Griffin is one of the lead- ing spirits in it and will be the President. “During the 20 years I have lived in Eng- land there has been on my part the keen- est desire to see some union for bringing together the American women who have taken up their permanent, or even tempo- rary, residence here,’ said Mrs. Reid-Grif- fin to the Post-Dispatch to-day. ‘There is an immense colony, but we are scattered in this huge city. I have often been in the room with 3 Americans with- out being able to claim acquaintance with one. The society will, we hope, form a bond of union between these American wo- men, many of whom probably Jead lonely, uninteresting lives from the fact that they are cut off from their own people. “Quite beside the question of social in- tercourse, special advantages must accrue from membership in a society whose influ- ence will be particularly exerted towards promoting the very highest ideals in art, music and literature.’’ ‘*The idea of forming the American Club originated with you,” I understand,” said the correspondent. “Well, yes, the scheme has been ger- minating almost a year, and from its ori- gin in smal! social gatherings has at last » developed into definite form, Sorosis has offered us their name, and has proposed af- filiation. Indeed, we have received the a congratulations from. the other side. “It has been decided that the regular meetings will take the form of a _ social lunch given monthly in the Hotel Cecil, The expense attached to these meetings will not exceed $1 each. In addition the com- mittee intends to give occasional “at homes,’’ to which members and friends may be invited. ‘*The idea is at first that none but Amert- cans. shall be eligible to membership, but when it has become firmly established hon- orary membership may be opened to wo- men of any nationality. “The membership fee is a guinea yearly. The members’ list is lengthening daily and already includes Mrs, McKinley Osborne. wife of the Consul General; Mrs. H. R. Chamberlain, Mrs. F. C. Bowen, Mrs. Mc- Lure (Hamilton, Mrs. C.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Feb. 11.—Lady Curzon (Miss Leiter of Chicago) has aroused some irri- tation among card writers because of the semi-official position she has assumed in Colcutta. These sticklers for etiquette are writing to the press pointing out that she merely enjoys ‘social rank of her husband and is simply Lady Curzon of Kedleston. She has no more right to the title of Vicer- ine than that of commanderess in chief and that it is an absurd misnomer to term her receptions “‘drawing rooms.” In theory, this Is true, but in practice it is otherwise. She thas frequently to stana as the representative of the Queen and this was recognized by the Queen, who con- ferred on her the order of the “Crown of India.” However, Lady Curzon’s popularity grows apace. She has won great gratitude from the military by her thoughtful visit to the hospital to see Corporal Flynn, who was injured while on duty the day of her ar- rival in Calcutta. Lord Curzon has come to be regarded as a lucky Viceroy by. the natives, with im- mediate substantial result. They are large- ly investing in rupee paper, which has gone up several points in consequence. NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—Mrs. lL. Z.

Mrs. Leiter intends to return here before the hot season in India sets in. ‘Yhe giris will most likely stay in Calcutta. POURING IN HER TROOPS, Russia Sends More Soldiers Into Chi- nese Territory. SAN FRANCISCO, Fb. 1l.—Advices from the Orient state that the Russian Government is pouring troops into Port Arthur and Talien-Wan on the ground that the force now garrisoning those places is too small, in view of the apparent discon- tent of the inhabitants of the Liao-Tung Peninsula, who have within the last two months risen up against the Russians in 13 districts.

Sir Thomas Esmonde Now Acting as Chairman and Will Likely Be Continued in That Position. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. IONDON, Feb. 11.—Dillon’s retirement from the chair of the Irish party has ap- parently ended the schism which separated the majority from that section of the party led by Healy. A conference to which all Nationalist members of Parliament of all sections have been invited is to be held, probably in Limerick, in Easter week, with a view of reuniting them as in Par- nell’s day. Healy has now consented to join this conference, but John Redmond still holds aloof. Dillon, speaking on the situation to a Post-Dispatch correspondent, said: | gave my personal adhesion immediately to the proposal of the Limerick board for a conference which has beeh so widely adopted by other Nationalist bodies throughout Ireland and was accepted by the Nationalist party at the last mecting. “I earnestly hope that I may be ac- cepted by all Nationalist members. By de- clining a nomination for re-election to the chair I hope I have removed what is de- scribed by some persons as the chief ob- stacle to the reunion of Irish Nationalists. I shall not accept any office in the party during the continuance of the present Parliament. ‘IT am prepared to ce-operate heartily with any body of Nationalists inside or out- side of the party who will Work for the re- union of Nationalist forces in the House of Commons on the lines of Parnell’s party be- fore the split. I consider the struggle in which my colleagues and myself have been engaged these last few years has borne abundant fruit in the vastly improved spirit that now obtains in Irish politics, and the desire universally expressed by Irish Na- thonalists for a reunion of National forces on the old lines.” Timothy Healy said to the Post-Dispatch correspondent: “I belleve Dillon has acted wisely, and I believe reunion will result if a chairman who is not offensive to us is chosen, but until events develop I can say no more.”’ William Redmond, M. P., said: “Dillon’s action does not affect our party in the slightest way. Ut makes no difference to our position whatever.”’ . “Will you now a'tttend the Limerick con- ference ?’’ “No, I don’t see why I should.” This expression of opinion may be taken as indicating John Redmond's view. L. Carew, another member of Red- mond’s party, also expressed the intention of not attending the conference, but the Post-Dispatch correspondent hears that it is likely two, and possibly three, Parnellite members out of nine will enter the confer- ence, and presumably be bound by its de- cision, Meanwhile Sir Thomas Grattan Esmonde, Bart., as chief whip of the National y, will act as Chairman until that office is filled. It is generally believed that the con- ference will continue him in that position during the present session, and probably during the present Parliament, which yet has three years of life. Esmonde is much respected by both sections of his colleagues. He has preserved an almost neutral posi- tion between them, and would be accepta- ble to Ireland. The fact is if both sections genuinely desire harmonious action it is im- material who fills the chair, as success would be possible for any politician of sense and moderate ability, whereas if dissen- sion continues no man now in Irish poli- tics is strong enough to compel unity. Thomas Sexton, who would be the best available Chairman, said that he had reso- lutely resolved never to take that post, and will not ‘return to Parileament at present. PRACTICED FOR TWO YEARS. English Woman Becomes Expert With a Revolver in Order to Kill a Man. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Feb. 11.—A startling case of premeditated murder occurred this week at a remote hamlet of Biddenden, in Kent. Miss Petersen, an elderly daughter of the Vicar, wrote to the local bootmaker two years ago accusing him of felonious as- sault on a girl. It was a hallucination. Last Sunday she invited him to the vil- lage school room to retract the charge and she shot him dead. Her aim with the re- volver was excellent. It now appears that she had been practicing with that weapon for two years. She is regarded as insane. HAS A CRAZE FOR THE STAGE.

P.. the most sought after man in the city to-day. Speaking to the Post-Dispatch correspond. ent in the House of Commons to-day, he said: ‘Yes, several American capitalists are interested with me in China. The Prin- cipal one is Ferguson McIntosh of Pitts- burg, who has gone out with the first ex- pedition to peg out mining claims in the Province of Szechuan. “It is one of the biggest enterprises ever undertaken by any syndicate. That Prov- ince téems with all kinds of minerals, and has especially rich deposits of gold, both quartz and alluvial. Its population equals that of the United States. Labor can be had there for 12 cents per day. “Another expedition will start in March from Pekin, and another in May.

I was invited by the Chinese Government to advise on the de- velopment of the mineral resources of China. I recommended the creation of an Imperial Department of Mines, with sub- sidia provincial departments on the Ame plan, to secure uniformity in the mining laws. I advised, too, against granting any concessions. “In October iast, negotiations conducted behalf of my syndicate BY WIL- DRGAN. “I was a and Technical Administrator of Immediately om my appointment the French Minister entered a protest on the grounds of its being a monopoly and fn- terference with treaty rights.

Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON. Feb. 11.—Representatives Dockery of Missouri and Cannon of Illi- nois—strong partisans in opposing parties— have made startling statements this week regarding the crushing debt Congress Is piling up. The colossal magnitude of the expen:'tures has only been generalized giving only the enormous totals, but not the actual amounts from which the pub- lic.can judge the extent of the expenditures.

But besides this other appro- priations are proposed, and some of them, as the Nicaragua Canal plan, are quite likely to prevail. These prospective ap- propriations are as follows: It is only by examining in detail the bills passed or certain to pass that the enor- mous items making up the aggregates can be located. The deficiency appropriation bill carries $64,440,539 for the army, $5,568,- 83 for the navy. The pension appropria- tion bill is an increase of $4,000,000 over last year. The postoffice appropriation bill earries $38,000,000 for railway carriage of mails, $2,154,000 for subsidies to ships carry- ing mail. The increase for railway car- riage is about $5,000,000. The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill ts practically the Government pay roll. It carries the salaries of civil officials, from the President’s salary down to the lowest janitor’s. There is an increase this year of about $1,325,000, The Military Acad- emy increase over last year is $143,000; the rs anda Department increase is about eee eereeeeeeaeeeete There was no river and harbor bill last ear, 20 that this $90,000,000 is a net increase. The sundry aivil bill carries hundreds of items, some of the big ones being as fol- lows: River and harbor work under con- tract, $14,001,613; public buildings, $3,380,400; light peeing those of Hawaii, Cu- ba, etec., $3,086,000; soldiers’ homes, $2,841,000; Spain, for the Philippines, $20,000,000. The naval appropriation bill will carry three sea-going battleships, to cost about £00,000 each; three armored cruisers, to cost about $4,000,000; and six small cruisers, to cost about $2,000,000. This is for the shi out fts armor or armament. Wit -these added, the six big ships will cost Shout $5,000,000 to $6,000,000 each, and the six Smaller cruisers about $3,000,000 each. The appropriation bill gives $11,000,000 for start- ing the ships this year, which is about one- quarter of the whole cost. The army appropriation bill was com- ee to-day. The first total was about 000,000, but was brought down to $79,334,- 872. It is the first appropriation bill passed for an army of 100,000 men, and the jump is by the increase over last year’s bill, ch called for only $24,180,000. leading amounts in the new bill are: Commissary department, $10,058,871; last year's appropriation, $1,550,000; Quartermas. tora department, $7,200,000, an increase | the regular appropriation last year of 71,800,000; transportation of army by land . @hd sea, $17,500,000, an increase from $2,300,- $5,952,000, an increase op A officers, $4,000,000, an 000; pay of enlisted men, $4,290,000; con- 00; uniforms, etc., from $1,000,000 000, an increase from an expenses of the a » $200,000 n rmy , an from $15,000; relief for destitute . 8, $200,000; retired officers, $1,272,000: peo dical supplies, $1,600,000, an increase from * Even with this gréat total of the bills there is every reason to believe that a “‘de- ficiency’ army bill will be presented as #00n as the new Congress meets, CUSTOMS AT SANTIAGO.

TUESDAY NEXT THE TIME SET. BUT THE MAJORITY MAY CHANGE ITS MIND. Sharp Discussion on the Philippine Question Between Mason, Allien, Lodge and Other Members of the Chamber. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—The Senate to- day agreed to vote on the McEnery reso- lution on Tuesday next at 2:30 p. m., but later in the proceedings Senator Hawley of Connecticut gave notice that when there was a larger attendance in the Senate he would endeavor to have the unanimous consent to vote on the McEnery resolution set aside. The McEnery resolution, in some degree, declares against the policy of permanent acquisition of the Philippines by the United States, It reads as follows: “By the ratification of the treaty of peace with Spain it is not intended to in- corporate the inhabitants of the Philip- pine Islands into citizenship of the United States, nor is it intended to permanently annex said islands as an integral part of the territory of the United States. But it is the intention of the United States to establish on said islands a goverpment suitable to the wants and cunditions of the {nhabitants of said islands, to prepare them for local self-government and in due time to make such disposition of saia islands as will best promote the interest of the citizens of the United States and the in- habitants of said islands.”’ A sharp discussion in the Senate followed an effort to get a vote on a resolution reaf- firming the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Stewart saidshe had no knowledge that the Declaration had been abrogated. Con- siderable verbal sparring occurred over a fruitless attempt by Mr. Allen to get an ad- mission that the peace treaty had been rati- fied ag a result of an agreement to pass the McEnery resolution, He then asked that a vote be taken upon his resolution now,as it only reiterated the doctrine of the Declaration of Imdepen- dence. Mr. Stewart (Nev.) said he had no know- ledge that the Declaration of Independence vote to reaffirm that document some good reasons should be given the people for such a vote. \ Mr. Mason (lIll.) interjecting a reply to Mr. Stewart's implied inquiry as to the necessity of adopting the Allen resolution: “It is simply to declare to the Filipinos that when we kill them we are conterring upon them the blessings of liberty.” Mr. Allen, in urging immediate action upon his resolution, said he could see no conflict between such a declaration and the peace treaty which had been acted on last Monday. In the course of his remarks Mr. Alien referred to a so-called agreement which had been entered into by some un- named Senators for a vote upon the Mc- Enery resolution if the ratification of the treaty. Mr. Platt (Conn.) said he knew of no such agreement referred to by Mr. Allen, but he desired it understood that he was not bound by any agreement of the kind. Continuing, Mr. Allen said if any such agreement was made, good faith demanded that it be carried out. @ Mr. Lodge alluding to reference that had been made to the position of the Foreign Relations Committee upon the question of voting on the pending resolutions said the committee had one week ago, last Wednes- day, agreed that a vote might be had so far as the committee was concerned, Mr. Tillman inquired of Mr. Chandler whether or not any arrangement had been made with Senators whereby they were to vote for the treaty on consideration of having a vote on certain pending resolu- tions. Mr. Chandler replied: “Personally I know of no agreement to vote upon any resolu- tion.”’ Mr, Mason, who*originally made the refer- ence to the “tagreement,’’ declined to ‘“‘tes- tify’ when he wees quizzed by Mr. Till- man. In a brief speech Mr. Carter (Mont.) said this debate would have the game mis- chievous results as that of a few days ago. He did not approve of a discussion in this‘ forum of a trouble which had been precipitated by rebels in arms. “Let that question be decided,” said he. “in the forum selected by the rebels them- selves, and after its decision there the Congress of the United States can take up the various phases of the question at its leisure."’ He declared that the purpose of the adoption of the pending resolutions was an insinuation against the good faith and hon- esty of purpose of the American people. Mr. McEnery (La.) spoke strongly in ad- vocacy of the adoption of h‘s resolution. Mr. Vest (Mo.) sald any action upon the peace resolution now would be like send- ng for a physician after the patient was “What,” he inquired, “can be a broader farce than the passage of these resolutions when we have already declared our policy at the mouth of the cannon, with the rat- tle of musketry and in shooting our doc- trines into the le of the Philippines?’ He declared that when the peace treaty was ratified it followed logically that the Filipinos would be coerced. Mr. Allen closed the debate, replying to Mr, Carter, saying that the silver question in Montana and other intermountain States should not be obscured by “such fulmina- tions” as that which Mr. Carter had, he sald, “inflicted upon the Genate.”’ At 2 o’clock the resolution, under the ring se went to the calendar, no action being en. Mr. Vest (Mo.) presented the credentials of his colleague, Mr. Cockrell, elected to the Senate for his fifth term of six years, which will begin on March 4 next. They were filed, Bills were passed for the erection of a Government build! at Altoona, Pa., and rant to the earwater Ghort Line ee Co. the right of way through the Nez Perces Indian lands in Taaho. The (egislative, executive and judiciary bill was then laid before the Senate. Pending consideration Mr. Mason asked unanimous consent for a vote upon the Mc- a Fw gen next Tuesday at 2:30 p. ™.

Mr. Hawley had objected In the beginning hs be had to-day, saying he had no respect for the measure. “As though,’ said Mr. Mason, “I was not his equal. I claim to be his peer,”’ he continued, “‘and to represent as good a State as he does.” Mr. Hawley interrupted to say that he had meant no discourtesy to the Senator, but only that he aid not accept the doc- trine of his resolution. Continuing, Mr. Mason gave notice that he meant to continue his warfare in the interest of the resolution and he would stay here until the snow should fly next December if necessary to get the resolution adopted. It was, he said, more necessary to adopt these resolutions than to take money from the treasury as proposed in the appropria- tion bills. He continued by saying that in the Phil'ppines we are now fighting our allies. The moment the jingle of gold had been heard in connection with the Paris conference and when we hed descended from the high pedestal of independence the trouble began and the people commenced their revolt against the treaty. In Cuba we were still contending for liberty and there peace reigns; in the Philippines, the reverse is true and there hell is found. He asserted that the United States had been the aggressors in the Manila conflict by trampling upon the rights of the Fil- ipinos. They had sought every means of securing a peaceful settlement and we hac kicked them out. When Aguinaldo had asked the poor privilege of a conference our commander had refused without know- ing what he had to offer. His request had becn ignored and we had gone on burning his villages and shooting his people like dogs, a la Weyler. Mr. Mason gave del’berate notice of a filibuster, saying he would speak each day until the resolut'ons were acted upon. “I will take all the time I want,” he said. “‘I begin to appreciate the glorious privilege of Senatorial courtesy.”’ “Did the Senator expect to get a vote on the resolutions when he agreed to vote for the treaty?’’ Mr. Money asked. “I did,” reeponded Mr. Mason. “I was not entirely familiar with Senatorial cour- tesy. I hope to know more next time, and as I grow older learn who to trust and when to trust.’ Mr. Mason then entered upon the contest that the United States were rapidly becom- ing a puppet of Great Britain, and he read a poem entitled ‘“he Lion’s Whelp,”’ Which, he gaid, illustrated the relationship the following line from which illustrates its spirit: ‘I know thee now, my lion's whelp, It could be none but thee.’’ This country was even growing more cruel than England and cruel not to our enemies alone, but to our own people. He said that the Filipinos could not be con- quered with the loss of only 3000 or 4000 lives. According to his way of thinking one American life was worth more than those of all the natives on the islands. How many Senators had sons there? Or had ll the Senatorial appointees retired before he approach of danger? “If you would only show me where we could steal something,” he exclaimed, jo- cosely, “I might excuse the proceeding on the ground of high statesmanship, but I fail to see where we 4&re to get any return for our outlay.” The whole matter looked ‘to him like mur- der and travesty upon our professed fol- lowing of the lowly Nazarene. At the close of his speech Mr. Mason asked for unanimous consent for a vote on the “‘McEnery resolution’’ at 2:30 next Tuesday, and, no one objecting, the vote was set down for that time. Consideration of the legislative appoint- ment bill, appropriation bill, was then re- sumed. An amendment was offered by the com- mittee and agreed to providing that the 30 days annual leave given Government clerks shall be exclusive of Sundays and legal holidays. Mr. Hawley, addressing the Chair, said: “I rise to a question of privilege. I give notice that when the Senate is fuller than it is now, I will. move to set aside the unanimous consent agreement given to vote upon what is known as the McEnery reso- lution. Myself and several other Senators made peremptory objections to that resolu- tion. Several of us left the chamber, and during our temporary absence the unani- mous consent to vote upon the resolution was given. At the first proper opportunity I shall move that the order be set aside.”’ As the bill was about to be passed Mr. Allen inquired of Mr. Cullom, in charge of the measure, in what order the remaining appropriation bills were to be considered, Mr. CuHom replied that the agricultural ap- propriation was next to be taken up. “Is there any purpose,’ inquired Mr. Al- len, “‘to bring up the army bill before other appropriation bills are disposed of?” Mr. Cullom replied that he was not aware the army appropriation bill had been passed by the House. Mr. Allen said it was rumored about the chamber that the army bill was to be called up Monday or Tuesday next. Dis- cussion on the bill would continue until the end of the session. This would cause the other appropriation bills to fail and make necessary an extra seesion. ‘I ask, said he, “if there is any intention of that kind ?’’ Mr. Cullom said he knew little or noth- ing concerning the army Dill and that it was his —_ + enaey next week with appropriation Ss. “What 40 you mean by the army Dill?’ inquired Mr. Chandler. “Tl mean,” replies Mr. Allen, “the army reorganization bill.” Mr Cullom said the Appropriation Com- mittee had nothing to do with that bill. “That may be true,” replied Mr. Allen, “but there is such an intermingling and commingling of purposes on that side of the chamber that it 1s difficult to say who is responsible.”’ Mr. Allen sald the committee proposed to press the appropriation bills as rapidly as possible. The Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation Bill was then passed. A House bill amending an act granting a right of way to the Kansas, Oklahoma Cen- tral & Southwestern Railway Co. through the Indian lands was passed. A bill to amend an act entitled “*An act to reimburse the Governors of States and Ter- ritories for expenses incurred by them in aiding the United States to raise and or- ganize and supply and equip the volunteer army of the United States in the war with Spain” was passed. The Senate at 5:45 p. m. adjourned, EULOGIZED IN THE HOUSE. Both Sides Pay Tribute to the Memory of Mr. Dingley. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—The memory of the late Representative Dingley was fitting- ly eulogized in the House to-day by those who had been closely assc™ated with him. Phe early pant of the morning was given to some minor routine work, and the eu- logies, which were a special order, occu- pied the remainder of the day. The bill was passed authorizing the con- and a bridge across etruction of a dam nr ghantan the Miss'ssippi River at Minn. The esetetion was passed author- izing the Secretary of the Navy to pay certain workmen and mechanics at the navy yards and naval stations 50 per cent additional for work performed in excess of ou a day. ag ortatie (Rep.) of Maine spoke feel- ingly of the long and intimate personal as- sociation between the late ‘Mr. Dingley and himself in public and political life, in jour- nalism and in their everyday relations.

Caste. WORKING AGAINST MILES. Se PREPARING DATA FOR THE COURT OF INQUIRY. He Is Doing This Work at the War De- partment, Where He Seems to Be Countenanced by the Secretary. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, PD. C., Feb. 11.—Gen. Fagan, who was recently punished by being Siven @ six years’ vacation on full pay, is coaching the Commissary officers at the War Department in their effort to show Gen. Miles’ “embalmed beef” charges are false. More than this, Gen. Eagan is him- Self preparing data for the court of in- quiry, and will make a desperate effort to Show that the meat was pure and whole- SomaA, He is doing this work at the War De- partment, where he is supposed to have more rights than a civilian, but as Secre- tary Alger failed to see anything wrong in the conduct of the Commissary-General, he doubtless sees no impropriety in accord- ing to the deposed Commissary Chief the courtesies of the department. Ordinarily an officer, who has been brand- ed as not a gentleman, and unfit to hold a commission in the army, is denied the com- pany of all officers. But certain officers at the department show him the same respect that they would were the acquitted of all charges. In suspending Gen. Eagan from rank and duty it is not contemplated that he would impose his presence upon those who cannot consistently look upon him as a brother officer. By countenancing Gen. Eagan. the head of the War Department offends all military officers who have a regard for the requis- ites of an officer of the aftmy—first of which is to be a gentleman. The court of inquiry will be convened at the War Department, Feb. 15, but to what extent its deliberations will be open to the public és as yet to be determined. BAILEY GOES TO KENTUCKY Democratic Leader Forsakes the House to Look After His Stock Farm and Future Derby Winners. Special.to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—Representative Joseph W. Bailey of Texas has gone to Kentucky to look after his stock farm and String of thoroughbreds. It is the first time this session that he has removed his watchful eye from the House majority, and some Democrats contend that his prolonged absence will make the minority more ef- fective. Bailey's leadership g@vas made it as difficult as possible er the majority ‘de business, and the old idea of an opposition has been abandoned. The first opposition occurred after he went to Kentucky, and resulted in the defeat of the Congressional combine, which had planned the distrib- ution of $11,000,000 of ‘‘pork’”’ (public build- ing schemes). Bailey has also discouraged and forbidden any organized criticism of the conduct of the war, the “embalmed beef’ scandal and the many other features, which, as a rule, would be effective ammunition for an op- position. This accounts for the fact that the Sulzer resolution for an investigation of war methods and the Lewis resolution for an inquiry into embalmed beef are sup- pressed, According to Bailey's view, the province of the minority is to aid the majority to dispatch public business. This lofty view has led to the efforts to depose Bailey by those who wish the minority to become a fighting opposition, but all such efforts have failed, and the many schemes of extrava- gant expenditure. and imperialism ' go through with only a colorless and formal opposition. DEATH OF GEN. SCHRIVER. He Was a Veteran of Indian and Civil Wars. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—Gen.

T. Goodwyn. Hon. A, TT. Goodwyn, Congress- man from Alabama, writes from Washington, D. C., to Dr. Hart- man, as follows: “Gentlemen—I have now used one bottle of Pe-ru-na and am a well man to-day. I could feel the good effects of your medicine before I had used it a week, after suffering with catarrh for over a year.” Pe-ru-na is very prompt in its action. One bottle con- vinces the most skeptical. Mr. T. Sherman Bryan. Mr. T. Sherman Bryan, writing to Dr. Hartman, says: “I have been using VPe-ru-na for some time past and wish to testify as to its great value in cases of ca- tarrh. My whole system was permeated with catarrh for sev- eral years. After using Pe-ru- na I find that Il am greatly im- proved and cannot speak too highly in praise of your great medicine. It has given me a new lease on life.”” Mr. T. Sherman Bryan is a cousin of William Jennings Bryan, late candidate for President, and namesake of Gen. William T, Sherman, Sister of St. Francis. The Sisters of St. Francis of St. Vincent’s Orphan Asylum, East Main street, corner of Rose avenue, Columbus, O., in a ietter dated June 2, 1898, to Dr. S. B. Hartman, say: “Some-years ago a friend of our institution recommended to us Dr. Hartman’s Pe-ru-na as an excellent remedy for la grippe, of which we then had several cases which threatened to be of a serious character. We began to use it, and experienced such wonderful results that since then Pe-ru-na has become our favorite medicine for la grippe, catarrh, coughs, colds and bronchitis.”’ County Commissioner John Williams of 517 West Second street, Duluth, Minn., in a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, 6ays: “As a remedy for catarrnh I can cheerfully rec- ommend Pe-ru-na. 2 know what it is to suffer from that tor- rible disease, and I feel that it is my duty to speak a good word for the remeay that brought me im- mediate relief, Pe-ry- na cured me of a baa case of catarrh, and I know it will cure any other sufferer . from that disease.”’ How many lives are ruined, how many homes made unhappy, by catarrhal dis- eases, no man can number, and the whole trouble results from a foolish or willful neglect of common colds. While Pe-ru-na, properly used, will cure almost every case of chronic catarrh, chronic bronchitis, and consumption (in its first stages), yet as a preventive of these diseases, it is of still greater value. I do not hesitate to guarantee that every one who uses Pe- ru-na at the beginning of a cold will quick- ly recover, and the cold leave no trace of damage to the system. Every case of catarrh is the result of a neglected cold. In whatever organ the cold settles of the body, there the catarrh ap- pears. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh wherever located. Mr. John , Williams a ee ican authorities that they have delivered to Agent Catherwood of Arizona the Amer- ican, James Temple, who has been under arrest in Mexico on the charge of killing a Mexican on the American side of the line. The Mexican Government very gracefully recognized the request from the Arizona authorities that Temple be surrendered to them for trial for this same offense, and thereby avoided a prolonged controversy between the two governments upon the question of extra territorial jurisdiction.

Miss Annie Wyandotte, queen of the op- eratic stage and dramatic soprano, has written Dr. Hartman a number of very en- thusiastic letters concerning her cure. Catarrh had completely destroyed her voice, so that she was unable to speak aloud. Pe-ru-na restored her voice com- pletely, enabling her to return to her pro- fession. She writes Dr. Hartman from Fifteenth street and Jackson avenue, Kansas City, Mo.: “Pe-ru-na ‘has been my salvation. It has given me back a beautiful volce—a gift of God; it Ras brought me once more to can talk now, and sing, where before I could scarcely whis- per.

A bill is pending before the Illinois Legislature dissolving all colleges which are not supported by an endowment ade- quate to justify the name. It is aimed, ostensibly, at the “universities” and “colleges” which sell diplomas and bring disgrace upon the State of Mlinois. But the bill seems to be calculated to do much more. There are mnany institutions of learning in the State which, without endowment, are yet doing a real educational service and ought to be encouraged rather than suppressed. To put them fn the same class with the unclean rascals who sell diplomas is to discredit and dishearten every poor pedagogue who is trying to follow his calling to teach, honorably, even if humbly. It has been charged that Rockefeller’s concern in Chicago is behind the movement and furnishing the motive power. It is insinuated that un educational trust isin contemplation. This is a perfectly rcasonable apprehension, especially as the ef- fect of the bill would be to subvert every college in Illinois (so it is said) but Rockefeller’s and two others. Of course the pretensions of many of these schools are ridicu- Jlous. They are not colleges and ought not to rank as such. But they have been incorporated by the State, grant diplomas which are accepted everywhere for what they are worth, and are in all respects reputable. The diploma factories can be suppressed without playing into the hands of trust magnates by destroying every college gave those which will teach trust politics. Thought must be left free and unperverted. Eleven Cents pd. { a ‘ KEEP IT ROLLING. Tie St. Louts World’s Fair is assured. If any doubt as to the purpose of St. Louisans existed in the public mind it was ewept away by the action of the Committeejof Two Hundred at the Mércantile Club. An earnest determination to undertake the great task allot- ‘ted to St. Louis and to carry it to success marked the proceed- ings of the gathering of representative citizens upon "whose shoulders devolves the labor of organization. There was no +hesitation in beginning the work. Wncertainty gave place to enthusiasm. ‘The preliminary organization ‘was effected and @ fund was subscribed for initial expenses. But the ball has only been started. It must be kept rolling until the gates of a magnificent exposition ‘shall have been, opened in 1903. The committee hag prepared the way for in- corporation, the raising of funds and the securing of necessary legislation. Results will depend upon the liberality and en- thusiastic co-operation of all the citizens of St. Louis. Funds are the first essential. The\project must !be placed upon a solid pecuniary basis. St.*Louls must raise $5,000,000 forthe Fair. All the plans of the organizers hang upon this peg. There can be no question of the'‘ability of St. Louis to Guarantee this sum. But the quicker the better. There'is no time tolose. St. Louls must set the example of prompt liber- ality. When the Finance Committee announces that the last dullar of St. Louis’ quota of World’s Fair stock has) been ‘Subscribed the directors of the Fair will be in position:to ask liberal appropriations from legislatures and active co-operation of all interests in this.country and foreign nations.

The effort to keep San Domingo “cost France more dearly than all the crimes of the great revolutions.” And Abyesinia has cost Italy $115,000,000 and thousands of lives, or more than enough to drain the Pontine marshes and cover the mother country’s dry hills with frult and forest trees.

Since her unfortunate war with Turkey her horizon is contracted and her statesmen are hard put to it to find subjects of political action commen- eurate with their dignity. In thie dearth, Kyrios Tri, etc., hits the theater hat, which is the biggest thing in sight, By official decree he ordains that the ladies of Athens shall not wear hats in the theater.

ANYBODY MAY SEE THEM. A Turk With Masculine Legs and Oth- er Stories of Persons and Things at the Capital. F Staff Correspondent. ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 1..—Mark Hanna is always good natured. Although he is por- trayed as fierce, haugh'y and unapproach- able, he is always possessed of a cool and even temper. It takes a good deal to an- noy Hanna. He has been through many 4 political battle, always victorious, but even the small things which usually nettle politicians have no terrors for the Ohio Senator. If Hanna makes a promise it is kept—that is to say, if it is in his power to keep It. He has more callers than any man in the Senate, except possibly Senator Mason. No matter how highor low in life’s station a caller may be he is invited Into the marble room. Always kind and oblig- ing, Hanna will go further to oblige a friend than the ordinary politician. Vice-President Hobart, too, is an ap- proachable man. His home and office are open to all comers. Like Hanna, he rarely turns any one away. His private office in the rear of the Senate chamber, immediate- ly off the main Senate corridor, leading into the marble room, is often filled with visit- ors during the session of the Senate. Sightseers on a tour of the capitol may be ushered into Hobart’s presence if they so elect. He receives every one cordially and with a warm handshake, and his man- ner sets the most humble at perfect ease. Mr. Hobart is one of the few Vice-Presi- dents in the past quarter of a century who is really a part and parcel of the Federal Government. Unlike his many predeces- sors, he has the President's utmost con- fidence, and is always consulted on great state matters. Tillman and His Glasses. Did you ever see Senator Tillman sit crouched down in his easy chair in the rear of the Senate chember twirling his eye- glasses, which are attached to a small piece of black cord? It is really a treat. When he is most interested in the Senate pro- ceedings, of is listening to an important speech he invariably toys with his eye- glasses. Around and around they go until the entire cord has been wrapped around the Senator’s finger, and then he reverses the motion and unwinds the cord to ite full length. He has been Known to sit in his place for hours at a time, swinging his glasses. When the peace trealtty came before the Senate, Tillman began to paint up and dig into the musty closet for his war feathers. He was a conspicuous figure in the de- bate on the treaty and vied with Senator Hoar in an effort to outdo him as the champion of the insurgent chief, Aguinaldo. He has never lost an opportunity to put in a good word for ithe little insurgent, often characterizing him as a second George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, Gone Theater Mad. Washington has gone theater mad. Many old-time theatrical folk say it is not the best “show town” on earth for its size. but the last week has done much to die- prove this assertion. Society turned out en masse to see Maud Adams in ‘The Little Minister.” The Congressional contingent, s a rule, are good patrons of the local playhouses, but the tendency of the law- makers seems ito be toward vaudeville. A Turk With Good Legs. “All Ferrough Bey, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from Turkey, is the most progressive member of his race ever sent to this country. He is young, good looking, athletic, an expert amateur photographer and fond of society. Proba- bly on account of his athletic or maybe in- herited tastes, he had adopted his worka- day costume a loose fitting bicycle sult of dark gray cloth. He has worn this suit constantly since his arrival in Washing‘on— in his strolls on the avenue, in his trips to the woods with his camera and in his office at the Legation when receiving un- official visitors. ‘There may be a ‘ttle per- sonal vanity in the preference shown by him for this garb, for there is not 4 finer ington. Youthful Senator Hoar. Senator Hoar resents any attention shown him which implies deference to his ad- vancing years. He secured the discharge almost a year ago of an ovcr-polite con- ductor on one of the street cars who jumped from his platform to help the aged Senator, i whom he did not know by sight, up the is taught the observant street-car men 4 jesson, and the employes of the Capitol well acquainted with h!s jdiosyncracies and never cross the danger line. The ubiquitous colored brother has not learned this lesson yet, and when a negro attendant at a large reception at which Senator Hoar was a guest saw him strug- gling with his overcoat as he was about to leave, he ran to his aésistance and at- tempted to help draw the coat on. “Go away, go away from here, sir,” cried the Senator, indignantly. “I can get along very well by myself, sir.” Tt was this spirit of independence that held him unshaken in his resolve to vote against the ratitication of the peace treaty in spite of all party in:lu- ence or comment. Reed’s Portrait on a Tour. Gpeaker Reed's portrait, by Gergeant, eald to be the best portrait of a Speaker in the halls of Congress, has been missed of late from its accustomed place in the private lobby of the House, and inquiry develops that it is making 4 tour of the country. At present it is in Philadelphia takin art in an art exhibition, and later it age to Boston. Among artists the portrait is regarded as a@ masterpiece. It is on the impressionist order, showing the rugged lines and strong face of the Speak- er.

CLERKS KEEP THEIR JOBS. FORCE AT JEFFERSON CITY HAS NOT BEEN REDUCED. The Only Good Accomplished Is That Each Member Has Been Com- pelled to Go on Record and Nepotism Has Been Exposed. eee Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFBRSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 11.—The House has disposed of the clerical force question in the manner that was expected. The itch for patronage was stronger than the sense of duty to the people. There was never any chance that the force would be reduced. Such a move was feared by al- most every member of the House. It touched each one intimately. With a very few exceptions, every Democrat was afraid to vote for a reduction because his ap- pointees might lose their positions. It was a case of personal interest against the in- terest of the whole people, and, as usual, the personal interest won. Many a member has a troublesome con-| science, however. All are not hardened by the lust for plunder. Things were said in the Democratic caucus which bound the majority to oppose reduction which will rankle a long time in the breasts of those members who ‘have .accusing consciences. Nepotismr was roundly denounced, those members who have relatives on the froce show, by their eagerness to defend themselves to any one willing to listen, that they do not feel easy. And they were all compelled to record themselves as indorsing and sustaining the wild extravagance of the present clerica force. That record will rise to haunt those who at the next election seek to be re- turned to the Legislature. Many of ther writhed under the necessity of voting. Some fied. A few tried to explain their votes. But all explanations were weak. They made the explainers mere objects of pity. Even Whitecotton’s tion, elab- orate, carefully thought -out, skillfull stated, would better have been left unsaid. When he got through it was after all a confession that he had acted contrary to his conscience, because a lot of other men had -vyoted such action the will of the ma- jority. Whitecotton and the other Fill- pino leaders have undoubtedly weakened their cause by their action in this matter. It is possible that they were led into a trap by design of the “regulars,”’ and forced to live wp with them on this question in order to break the back of their consistency. The announced policy of the Filipinos wag to work for economy and local self-govern- ment. Economy was thrown to the winds by the action of Friday. And Mr. White. cotton emphasized its abandonment b himself and his insurgent co ions by telling the world that he had allowed him- self to be forced into doing something tha: his conscience told him was wrong. No- body Knows all this better than Mr. White. cotton, He bitterly regrets his action. He freely admits his regret. He sees, probably with clearer vision than some others, that the extravagant course of the majority in the House will work no good to the State Democracy. If the ‘regulars’ could force the Fili- pinos into line on the clerical force ques- tlon by a caucus, what is to prevent the same thing being done on the question of icreasing State control over the cities? The Filipinos having alowed one of the planks of their platform to be torn from beneath them, will they not permit the other to be taken from them, leaving them hopelessly at the mercy of the “regulars?” These questions are being asked by those who set great store by the Filipinos. The Republicans are enjoying the situa- tion. They all, to a man, voted for a re- duction by 82 employes of the present force. They have voted for economy. Of course it meanc no special wirtue In them to so vote, because they are not responsible for the Legislature, but the record is a handy thing to have at election time, and the voting public doesn’t go behind a record. One can see the “good Dr. Tub now, traveling over his County of Osage, a House journal under his arm, showing to admiring constituents how he voted to sav the State thousands of dollars. And the ‘good Dr. Tubbs” will not be the only Re- publican member who will put the House journal to advantageous use. The Republicans also had a good ob lesson of the amount of dependence they can place upon the Filipinos as allies. With Filipino votes they could have reduced the clerical force and taken all the credit of it to themselves. There was an outcropping of new-born Republican resentment against the Filipinos, when Dr. Tubbs objected to Mr. Whitecotton being allowed to explain his vote. It looks now very much as though the House would pursue its gourse of plunder and assault upon the rights of cities with- out hindrance. AMERICA WAS ENERGETIC.

STONE’S SUGGESTION. HOUSE APPROPRIATION COMMIT- TEE MAY TAKE ACTION. The Ex-Governor That Oppo- sition to Trusts Be Oneoct — the Chief Issues Yn the "4 Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFDRSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 11.—Eze Gov. William J. Stone has advised the House Committee on Appropriations to pro- vide Attorney-General Crow with e fund to defray the expenses of ting the trusts. _ Stone and Attorney-General Crow rode to Jefferson City together the other day. They fell into a conversation about the trusts and their rd@pid recent growth. Mr. Crow said he was greatly hampered by lack of funds. He cited as en instance his fight against the Insurance Trust, it will be Pe Ben to take p Pawns me in @ number of Bastern cities. He said he had no funds and had already gone into his | a to the extent of several hun- e ° to pay expenses of legal pro- ceedings already instituted. of This talk suggested an idea to ex-Gov.

He has spent his own money in the fight. I believe the Legisiature should support him in this fight, by giving him money to carry it on.” This question of o sition to the trusts has grown amazingly in Missouri of late, if the indications at the capital mean any- thing. On every hand are heard favorabie comments on the course of the Attorney General in opposition to them. A number of bills have been offered which ard in- tended to suppress trusts. Some of these bring imsurance co nies within the pro- visions of the general anti-trust law passed two years ago, Others are gineral antt- trust laws. Dr. Wilson of St. Louis tntro- duced one of these. Pope of Cole intro- duced another, This latter sas the tndorse- ment of the Attorney Generai and fs a nov. elty in its line. Its provisions were out- lined at length in these dispatches recently. It differs from most anti-trust laws in that it provides that alleged offenders shail be tried before juries, It would not be surprising if in Missouri at least the spirit of opposition’ te the trusts grew in the next two years to the point where it will oversnsadow all other political issues. , INDIANA REPUBLICANS.

Dyer's Battery D, Sixth United States Artillery, is now in Manila, doing special duty at the headquart'rs of the Eighth Army Corps, which is under the command of ‘Major-zeneral Otis.

There until Nov. 6 he was attached to the headquarters of Gen, Miller. On ‘the last named date he left with a detachment of troops for Manila, arriving there some time before Christmas. Thanksgiving Day was passed by Fout and his companions in Honolulu, where they had a giorious time, In a letter to his mother, dated at Manila, Dec. 27, 1898, young Fout tells of his de- tall for especial duty in the office of Adju- tant-General Thomas H. Barry, who {# on the staff of the Major-General command- ing. Although enlisted for service with the Sixth Artillery, young Pout was, on hie arrival at the Philippines, quartered with the California Heavy Artillery. . Bxtracts from his letter follow. ‘As see Dy the enclosed printed orders I am now located at Manila and am doing duty at the Commanding General's headquarters. To tell you how this all came ebout I will have to go back to my stay with the heavy artillery at Cavite. I was on guard Thursday and took a pass for Manila Saterday.

I do net wear soldiers’ clothes to work in, but have purchased several light duck suits, I wear a very large straw hat and canvas shoes, Dotter will take my photo some Sunday and then you can see just how I look. It is Albert Fout’s intention, after his discharge, to make a tour of the Orient, re- turning home by way of the Suez Canal. CHEAP DRINKS MAKE TROUBLE. Havana Garrison Worried More Dy Uncle Sam’s Men Than by Cubans. Warren A. Barnes, a St. Louis boy, formerly a member of Co. If, First Missour! Volunteers, but now in D, Tenth United States Infantry, Havana, Cuba, ip a letter to his brother, writes: “You do not know how we all love to hear from home, but it is quite a hard matter for us to write, as we are on constant guard duty and liable to call any moment, and often get very little sleep. “Our own soldiers give the guards more work than the Cubans, for they must be kept out of certain streets, houses and saloons, but some will get drunk, and then there is trouble. The Cubans dare not sell us anything to drink, or their places will be closed; but the boys get it some way or other—and such drinks! ‘Two or three ceuts and two drinks are enough; then you are gone. When sou awake in the morning all you have to do is to shake your head and you afte just as drunk as ever, apd it makes them crazy. Our regiment DAs a canteen where we can get Milwaukee bewr at 15 and 25 cents a bottle, but I'd Hke once more to have a bucket of good old St. Louis beer. “Our food is good—rice, principally, «cooked ip various ways—but our bread is bad and beavy. as the flour won't ralse. “The sun's heat during the day is oppressive, but a heavy dew falla at night, aimost like a rain, making guard duty at night wet and chilly. ‘Havana is a wonderful and beautiful place— some parts, bowever, as dirty as others are bean- tiful. The harbor is grand. The buildings, though, look strange to us— large and wrassive, with many arches and pillars. They afte made of soft stone and poor brick and plastered with cement and then the whole thing painied any and every color you can imagine—light blue, pink, green, ete.—one mass of color, n the poorer parts whitewash is used over the cement, but you can find houses with 50 shades of color. “But what's the matter with the Cuban girls? They're all right—little bite of things, neatly dressed, pretty and white. They come up to us and say, “Good-by’—that means how do you do? Many of the Cubans have been spoiled by being fed with our rations, and they seem to expect us to walt on them, also. I had to punch one in the jaw the other day, and came near get- ting into trouble. “We ate camped in a beautiful park, in the center of which is a large fountain, the streets radiating from it like spokes of a wheel. Be- tween the streets are shade trees and all kinds of beautiful Mowers, and the park is lighted with gas and electricity."’ DEMNY RELIEF CORPS. ee ee Co. ‘Mrs. Roberts Organized an Auxiliary at Mrs. Stiesmeier’s Home.

SHE WILL BE WELL ADOPTED. Baptist Orphans’ Home Will Determine Which of Three Women Shall Obtain the Child. Little Addie Logue has found three chari- table women anxious to adopt her as their own. But the tiny tot is puzzied to know which to accept as her mother. Addie is the mite of a girl who came all the way from Brookfield, Mo., to St. Louis Thursday night in search of a home. She was picked up by a messenger boy in the Midway at Union Station and taken to the matrons’ quarters. There the little one told her ead story, as published exclusively in Friday's Post-Dispatch. a “I am six years old,’ she explained, “and I haven't seen mamma for three years. have three brothers and three sisters, but where they are I don’t know. But, my oldest brother fs dead. When papa died a man named Dave Newman was my papa. He didn't want us around him, and at last mamma put us all out. Since then I have been everywhere and I ‘spose anyone who wants me can have me.” A tag was pinned on the thild’s breast directing that she be sent to the Baptist Orovhan®’ Home. Within a few hours after the story ap- eared in the Post-Dispatch, Mrs. Charies ixon of Florissant, 6&t. ouls Cownty, called at the station. “I want to see that littl girl I read about in to-night’a Post-D-spatch,”” said Mrs, Dixon. Messenger Joe Wigge escorted her to Matron Hunter's rédom. There she found Addie playing with “Lulu,” her doll. Mrs, Dixon patted the littk one on the head and said softly: “How would you like to be my darling?’ LAttle Addie’s brown eyes rolled in aston- ishment and efier a moment's hes tation she answered: “I'd like it right weil.” Just then two other women, bent on the eame mission, walked in. All three wanted Addie, the homeless waft. The Managers of the Orphans’ Home willl decide the question, although the tiny Miss Logue may have something to say in the prem ses, ON A WRECKED STEAMER.

The police of Atlanta, Ga., fear that Ar- thur Sutcliffe of St. Louls, a private in Fifth Regular Infantry, has been foully murdered, Since Thursday morning, Sutcliffe has not been seen, though the police and military authorities of Fort McPherson, where he was stationed, have been searching for All hope of finding him has been abandoned. A week ago last night Sutcliffe was drink- . ing In an Atlanta saloon with two negroes and a white man. He had plenty of money with him. At midnight he left the saloon with his comrades and went to another drinking place. There he was given a glass of whisky, containing knockout drops. His comrades placed him in a cab and took him to an unfrequented part of the city, where, after giving him a severe beating and tak- ing all his money, they abandoned him. He was found by friends next morning and taken to the fort, where conaciousness returned to him. He described his aseatl- ants accurately and they were arrested. He identified them. Still weak from his wounds, he left Fort McPherson Thursday morning to attend the trial of the prisoners at the Atlanta police court. He disappeared somewhere between the city and the fort and has not been seen since. The police belleve he has been killed by friends of the men who are under arrest for assalting him. = , Sonne . ——__—__—— “ — “~ (ts Coming is Looked Forward te With Both Joy and Pear and ite Safe Arrival is Hailed With Pride and Delight by All.

LONDON, Feb. 11.—A dispatch from Ma- nila, describing the capture of Caloocan, dwells upon the excellence of the American plang and the precision with which they were carried out. The dispatch adds: At 4 p.m. the American ships ceased fir- ing. then the army fired three guns, at an interval of 10 seconds, signaling the ad- vance of the whole line, the Kansas regi- ment leading through the jungle. The rebels’ left wing was diverted by Maj. Bell and 100 men. It was like clockwork. There wae no hitch anywhere. The rebels, estimated to have numbered 10,000 men, were demoralized by the shells. The Americans advanced in open order. At 500 yards there was a halt and then a charge and the rebels stampeded from their trenches, wh:ch were admirably construct- ed. The Americans refrained from wasting ammunition, but rushed on without firing and used thelr bayonets and the butts of their rifles. There was heavy — The railroad js practically uninjured. To-day the ships are shelling beyond Ca- loocan. The Americans will probahly reach ‘Malabon to-day and Malolos in a fortnight. Dispatches to the Globe from Hong Kong say the Filipino Junta there has received, by steamer from Manila, further news of the recent fighting. The Filipino agents say the Americans placed vessels along the shores of the bay and commenced hostilities ‘unexpectedly at midnight on Saturday, simultaneously bombarding the defenseless towns of Fondo, Malak and Malabon.”’ The agents of the rebels also say: “The slaughter of women and children was frightful, the Americans burning and de- vastating all before them, conducting 4 war of extermination and shooting every Filipino,”’ BRITONS ARE PLEASED. Satisfaction Over the American Victo- ries About Manila. LONDON, Feb. 11.—The dispatches from Manila occupy a prominent position in the British newspapers, and there is no doubt that the American victories are popular herg@ The British cannot understand the incredible folly of the Filipinos in forcing hostilities, which puts forward, proving the correctness of the American view that they are at present incapable of self-gov- ernment. The weekly newspapers devote considerable space to the developments of the past week. The Speaker says: ‘The American course is justified by the account of the uprising, and even more fully by the Filipinos’ own statement of their case. Their efforts to starve and worry the American troops into sickness and their generals into concessions culminated with an attempt to contro) the water supply of the city, which would have resulted in intense suffering to 300,000 pacific non-com- batants. America’s resistance taught the Filipinos a severe lesson on the custome of civilized warfare."’ The Speaker predicts that there will be little more real fighting, expresses the opin- ion that the real difficulty is how the gov- | ery >dargain. price of ..... ic sabe svdais es" We guarantee to $4.50.

The chairman, in his address, which was openly applauded, sald that while exceMent relationship just now existed between Great Britain and America there were questions which would have to be faced and settled. He hoped the for- eign office would not agree to the abroga- neutrality of the Nicaragua Canal and non-preferential rates were granted to Great Britain. The chairman further re- marked that Great Britain had the greatest interest in the ultimate control of the Phil- ippine Islands, as up to now the valuable carrying trade from the islands had been almost entirely in British hands, and he urged the government to lighten the heavy burdens of the ship owners in view of the increasing competition of Germany and the fact that America was doing everything possible to get her trade carried in her own vessels. — —_—__e—— PLACING RESPONSIBILITY. Filipino Efforts to Show Americans Were Agegressors. LONDON, Feb. 11.—The European Fill- pino Junta received to-day a long telegram from Agoncillo, the American delegate, from Montreal, declaring he left Washing- ton in consequence of a telegram which he received on Feb. 4 from Agulnaldo, urging him to cable to Malolos the result of the vote of the United States Senate on the peace treaty. Aguinaldo, it appears, added: ‘It is of the most urgent importance that we should at once be acquainted with the decision, as we are negotiating with Gen. Otis and the vote will vitally affect the negotiations.” Agoncillo further declares that he was closely shadowed by the American author- ities, to dispatch this telegram would have been impossible, and he therefore pro- ceeded to British territory. Agoncilio also says he was persuaded the treaty would not be ratified and points out that ‘“‘the three votes by which it was passed were only obtained at the last mo- ment and as the result of the outbreak of hostilities.” The agent of Aguinaldo again expressed his conviction that the outbreak was “‘pro- voked by the Americans for this very pur- se.”’ The telegfam concludes: “The Filipinos were anxious to maintain friendship with the Americans and had formally decided never to be the ag- gressors.” Several dispatches have also been re- ceived here from Filipino sources, dated from Manila via Hong Kong, and give the rebel version of the outbreak of hostllities.

Two American warships were off Malabon and Malate, and a smaller gun- boat was in the Pasig River to pragect the American flank. “Bor several days previously the Ameri- cans had been endeavoring to provoke hos- tilities, and peace was maintained only by the rigorous order of Aguinaldo, who was negotiating with Gen. Otis for an honorable understanding. ‘The American attack as unexpected. The ships destroyed all e villages be- tween the shore and the Pasig River within an area between Malate, Paranaque, Pedro and Mocati. “Crossing the river, the Americans ad- vanced to San Juan del Monte, capturing the water works after a severe fight. They then proceeded to Sangalone, and establish- ing themselves on the river dam. They tore up half of the rails of the Caloocan- Malalos line and cut the telegraph in order to stop communication with Aguinaldo. “The Filipino forces ¢éngaged numbered only 7000, including 1000 Ygorotes, Acting on instructions from Malalos, the Filipinos remained ‘strictly on the defensive, and finally retired in good order without any loss of arms, artillery or ammunition. Two old Krupps mounted on the Fortress of San Antonio were captured. The fight- ing was very stubborn and lasted continu- ously from Saturday to Tuesday. “General indignation has been occasioned by the treachery of the American surprise. The Filipinos believe that the Yankee Ad- ministration is only favored by a minority of Americans, and abstain from taking the offensive in order to show their gratitude to the American nation for helping them get rid of the Spanish rule. Hence they will only fight when attacked, and their future action depends upon the decision of the United States. “‘Aguinaldo declares that the real enemies of peace are the American officers in the Philippines.”’ “The Filipino loss to date is 1060 killed and wounded, including 600 Ygorotes who were barbarously mowed down, even when the Americans saw they were only armed with bows and arrows. They fought with great courage. “The American dead include one colonel, 46 other officers and 195 rank and file, over 500 wounded and 300 prisoners. “Gen. Otis proposed an exchange of pris- oners, and to this the Filipinos agreed, pa- roling the prisoners. “The Filipino forces south of Manila are concentrating at San Mateo, Antipole and Cainto, whence they will besiege Manila. ‘The Americans are now fixing the limits of their sphere of occupation. It wi'l ex- tend all along to the east from Paranaque to Malabon on the shore and from Caloo- can to Mainbunga and Macate. ‘There is much apprehension among the Americans, who are searching all the houses, confiscating all weapons, Including table cutlery, and summarily shooting in the streets all possessors of arms. These actions have resulted in sanguinary street fights at San Palo, Looma, Biondo and Ma- nila, caused by hatred of the American soldiery. The latter are imprisoning non- combatants as prisoners of war, and in re- venge the Filipinos kill Americans in the streets, but are respecting other foreign- ers. “Inform the American Senate and Con- gress of this, agd tell them the Filipinos are friends of America, but will fight against military despotism. “Agoncillo, the Filipino delegate, will ask for European intervention in the interests of peace. In the meantime, the Filipinos will fight. “A schooner laden with ammunition has been captured, but two others have ar- rived safely and have discharged their car- goes. Aguinaldo is on his way here. He will recapture the lost positions, organize e met warfare and commence a genera] ack. “The government and Congress of Malo- los are —— as usual, and have passed a vote of confidence in Aguinaldo.” panntnnmse@ iments DEATH RATE IS LIGHT. Health Conditions of American Sol- diers at Manila. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 11.—In re. sponse to a resolution of Inquiry the Secre- tary of War to-day sent to the Senate a statement from the Surgeon General in re- gard to the health conditions of the troops in the Philippines. He says that the sick. ness in some regiments has been as high as 17 per cent, Dut that it Is believed that that average has seldom exceeded 10 per cent. He also says that climatic conditions do not appear so far to have been attended with unusual mortality. He adds that ma.- larial diseases have caused no deaths and gives the total death rate, as shown by the returns for July, August, September and October, as equal to 9.3% per thousand, which is only slightly in exceas of the rate in garrisons in the United States in time of peace. More than half the deaths were caused by typhoid. A peculiar fact ts noted as follows: “Injuries, notwithstanding 127 cases of wounds received at Cavite and Manila, give a smaller rate of admissions than is or- dinarily found agong United States troops in their home garrisons, and the death rate from accidents and injuries is less than in these garrisons, notwithstanding the fatal ending of eight of the 127 cases of battle casualties.” The report only covers the time up to the end of October, but the Surgeon-Gen- eral eays that smal has appeared since that time in some regiments, and the death rate has been relatively higher from this s ge on a ae is no, ae ie ; - ae ee ie ee ee.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, Mo., Feb. 11.—Representa- tives of the Kansas City Law School and the Law Department of Missouri University had a debate here last night in the Uni- versity auditorium. This was one of the most important affairs of the year. It is the intention of the students of Missouri University to arrange for contests every year with other colleges of Missouri and neighboring States for the purpose of dis- cussing important current problems. The question for debate was, “Resolved, That in a Trial by Jury in Civil Action Unanimity Is Not Essential." Missouri University took the affirmative, and the Kaneas City Law School the negative. Ac. cording to-the judges the Kansas City speakers showed superior oratory, all of the representatives speaking extemporani- ously, while the University orators were obliged to continually refer to notes. The Kansas City school was represented by Messrs. Yost, Holler and Montgomery, and the University by Méesrd. Pickell, Mor- gan and Wallace. The décision of the judges, by unanimous vote, was in favor of the Kansas City Law School. This was the first defeat ever suffered by Missouri University in joint debate. WANT THE ASY!UM TO STAY. Chester Citizens Will Vigorously Fight the Removal Bill. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NASHVILLD, Ill, Feb. 11.—A strenuous effort is being made by the people in this part of the State to retain the Illinois Asy- lum for Insane Criminals at its present location, Menard. The citizens of Chester, which town will be greatly cffected by the institution’s re- moval, are up in arms against the propos!i- tion. A committee of sanitary and engi- neering experts “has been appointed com- sed of Adelsberry of Waterloo, Gillie of quoin and Secby of Red Bud, Civil En- ineer George Phillips of St. Louis and upt. Schinedt of the Centralia & Chester Railroad. A fund of $600 has been raised to defray the expenses of the investigation, and it is thought when the committee re- ports to the Governor {ft will exert coneld- erable influence in regard to the final disposition of the asylum removal DIL. The majority of the leading politicians in Southern Illinois are against the removal project. ool - - ee ee ee ne meee ee ee ee A REE Treatment 3 Weak Men Who are Willing to Pay When Convinced of Cure.

From that revelation and from others that followed there has sprung into existence what men caH a new religion—Mormonism. Those who accept it, however, say it is the church that existed in olden days, restored to earth by Smith. The creed of the Mormons Is: They believe in God, the Eternal Father, in His son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. bat God is a perfect being, possessing body, parts and passions. Christ said he was the ex- ess image of His Father's person. God is the father of the spirits of all mankind. And that the atonement of Christ was designed te enable fallen humanity to return to the presence of their Eternal Father (Hebrews, 12:9 and 5: 9). That the Church as established by Jesus Christ was destroyed and his followers gradually dwindled until a general apostasy from the primitive order was the consequence. at God did not acknowl- edge the man-made systems that thus sprang up. And that no man has the — act as a servant of God unless he possesses the authority by revela- tion. That a restoration is scriptural.—Rev. 14: 6. beabeb- hehe bel 71th he babe mar, and that she is entitled to all the rights that she can enjoy. That all capable persons should marry, and that any man who shirks the obligations of matrimony is a dangerous element to society.

This legislatton, if secured, would be wide in its effect. ‘The circuit clerks throughout the State would lose almost ail of the fees arising from preparing transcripts, since only in case of a dispute among the attor- neys over the facts would it be necessary to send a transcript to the Supreme Court. But this would be comparatively a smail matter. With this arrangement many more cases would be appealed, since the cyst of an appeal would be reduced to a minimum. The Supreme Court couid dis- pose of 20 more cases each year and in- side of three years, so one of the judzves said, be up with the docket. It is belicved Senator Wilson, by request, will introduce the bill, AGAINST SECRET SOCIETIES. Lutheran Pastor Demands That All Communicants Withdraw Their Membership From Bene- ficiary Organizations. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LA PORTE, Ind., Feb. 11—A stir has been caused in Lutheran church circles by the action of the pastor of the Valparaiso Church in demanding that members with- draw their membership from all secret ben- eficiary societies or be denied the sacra- ments of the church. This action is said to be preliminary to that which will be taken by all Lutheran churches in the conference districts, em- bracing the States of Missouri, Indiana and Illinois. The Royal Arcanum, Maccabees, Foresters and other kindred organizations have been having a rapid growth among the communicants of Lutheran churches |and decisive measures wil) be resorted to tobacco and all alcoholic drinks as much as posst- ly damaged six others. That the sphere of woman is as noble as that of | by the church authorities to bring about separation between communicants and secret orders, even though the latter be purely beneficiary.

In Seven Years the Streams Have Yielded $250,000 to $300,- 000 Worth of Gems. MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Feb. 11.—Wisconsin has one industry of which little is heard, yet which has been the means of turning & great deal of money into the pockets of the inhabitants of the southern part of the State. At one time, about six years ago, the pear! fisheries of the State were widely exploited, then something else caught the popular fancy, and this seven days’ wonder was dropped. Yet the same fisheries have within the past seven years panned out be- tween $250,000 and $300,000 worth of pearls, some of which were sold for a great pr.ce and are now held in high esteem by their owners. For a year or two it was hard work to et hands to harvest the crops; in fact, the armers in the southern tier of counties did not care much whether they had crops or not when easier means of wealth lay right at their doors. During the ent.re summer season as long as the beds of the little creeks and rivers of that section could be dredged or raked, people were out pearl- ing,”’ as it came to be called in the vernac- ular of the district where the pearls were found in their lodging places in the mouth of the fresh water clams. Go‘ng ‘“‘pearling’’ had all the excitement of shaking dice for high stakes, with the exception that the player could lose moth- ing beyond his time and stood to wina big stake by one fortunate stroke. He might work for weeks and not turn up a peari- bearing clam, and then the rake would bring to the surface a shell in wh.ch was a pearl worth from $500 to $1000, more mon- ey than could be earned by a whole sea- son’s work on the farm. Of the pearls found in Wisconsin streams one was sold later for $5000, many others brought $1000, and $500 siones were not at all scarce. When asked what became of the $3000 stone Mr. Upmeyer said, in re- calling the events of those days, that he did not know. It has gone East. Many of the pearls were sent abroad where there is more of a demand for this class of stones than in this country. Mr. Upmeyer gives an interesting ac- count of his first exper.ence in the pearl districts. “As soon as we made up our minds that it was worth, looking after,” said he, “I started with a good supply of money for Lafayetts County. I traveled up and down through the county until I had gathered up everything that was purchasable. Then everybody went pearling—women and chil- dren as well as the men. On Sundays it was the common practice for the women to spend their t.me along the streams look- ing for clams which might bear a fortune. “Tt was not all clover, by any means, Often a person would work for weeks with- out making any find of importance, and then perhaps the next rake full would bring to Nght .a good stone. “Tt is true there have been over. $250,000 worth of pearls taken frcm the streams -down there in the past seven years, but there are few found now. During the excitement the streams were worked clean and there are few claims left. All of the finds were made in Southern Wisconsin and just over the border in Illinois. “The talk of open:ng clams with pincers to see if they have pearls inside, and if not throwing them back without injury, is all bosh. There ‘s not a pair of pincers made strong enough to open a live clam without breaking the shell all to pieces, There is just one way. In one spot there is an opening into which you can stick a knife blade. Then you can cut the muscle and the clam opens like a pocketbook, but the clam is of no further use.” GREETED BY SOLDIERS. Negro Miners Stopped at Pana as They Stepped Off the Train. Special to the Pust-Dispatch. PANA, IL, Feb, 11.—Two companies of negroes arrived here to-day to enter the mines. They were stopped at the depot by soldiers and searched. Their leader, Carl Clark, was found to have a revolver and was placed in jail, In Judge Crosby’s court he pléaded guilty and was heavily fined. Being unable to pay his fine he was sent to the county jail, A letter was also found on Clark signed by Manager Fred Lukens of the Chicago-Vir- den Coal Co., who came near lesing his life at Virden last September, when 16 miners and special detectives were killed while attempting to land a carload of negroes at Lukens’ mine. In the letter Lukens instructed Clark and his company to come to Pana. Clark claimed their transportation had been paid by Operator Penwell. Owing to the serious accident at the Pana Coal Co.'s mine Friday afternoon, the min- ers were imprisoned in the mine over night. A number of negroes will leave on Presi- dent Farley’s free excursion train for Ala- bama to-morrow, where they are offered larger wager and steady work. The Penwell Coal Co. to-day appealed for a military escort to guard their paymaster in conveying $4000 in cash from Schuyler’s Bank to the coal company’s office. Such an act has never been deemed necessary by any of the coal companies since mines were first sunk in Pana. The action of Capt. Couch in furnishing the guard was contrary to Sheriff Downey’s orders, and the Captain was taken severely to task by that official. Couch’s action is considered by the Sheriff as giving protection to the coal companies in operating their mines, which is also contrary to Gov. Tanner's instructions. CHARGED WITH MURDER. The Unexpected Indictment of William Odom of Bloomington. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BLOOMINGTON, IL, Feb. 11.—The grand jury has returned an indictment against Willlam Odom for the liing of his sis- ter’s husband Thanksgiving eve leat. A true bill for murder was found. Odom’s whereabouts are not known. The shoot- ing was supposed to be accidental at the time and the indictment on a charge of murder was unexpected. Elmer Munsell, a prominent young farmer of this county, had married Myrtle Odom but ea few hours before the killing. While @ reception was in progress Odom play- fully snapped a revolver at Munsell. He claimed that he thought it was not loaded and he was forgiven. He left the country soon afterwards but this was taken as « sign of grief and anxiety to be away from the scene of the shooting. The grand jury claims to have evidence that the deed was not so accidental as it seemed and that Odom was bitterly opposed to the marriage of his sister to Munsell. The grand jury found the usual number of indictments for gaming and other illicit operations. Sixty-five true bills tn all were found. The seesion occupied one week.

We Took the Philippines, He Says, to Keep Europe From Grab- bing Them. DAYTON, O., Feb. 11.—Senator C. K. Davis of Minnesota and Senator Foraker were the most prominent guests at the State Republican League banquet held at the Dayton Club to-night. Senator Hanna sent his regrets; Gov. W. O. Bradley of Kentucky had his house burned over his head and acquired a sore throat, which impelled him to send a telegram and Gen. Wilbur R. Smith of ‘Lexington as his etaff representative. Senator-elect Beveridge of Indiana wae also unable to be present. Seated at the right of Toastmaster Col. R. M. Nevin of Dayton was Senator Davis, and next him Gov. Asa 8. Bushnell of Ohio, To the left of Col. Nevin was Senator Foraker. When Col. Nevin rose to intro- duce the toasts there was a sort of en- deavor feast for fully a minute, which was renewed when he said nobody was nominated for Governor at the League con- ventions except in his own mind. An al- lusion to President McKinley and the Ad- ministration called forth wild cheers, which were renewed when Senator Foraker rose to reply to the toast, “The Republican Party.”’ mS Speaking to the question he ca} - tention to the accomplishments or. the party during the past year, which has witnessed expansion. The war has brought up new issues on which the Democrats have drawn party lines, and these issues have been settled by the Republican party in favor of wider national purposes. There will not be much sald with regard to Cuba in the near future, as the promise made in regard to that will be religiously kept. As to the Philippines Mr. Foraker contended that the war-making power has also the right as well as the power to acquire ter. ritory and to govern that territory so ac- quired. Not to govern with the sword: noe despotically, but to govern in the future according to the light of the future. He had every confidence in the Administration of Wm. McKinley. When wey went there and the sound of his guns echoed ‘round the world, a new responsibility was created. If the Philippine Islands were not retained it was clear they would be parti- tioned as China is Seing partitioned. So we determined no one else should have them. The Presikient reluctantly had con- cluded it would be the wisest and the most logical and the only proper thing to do to secure the cession of the islands to the United States. Senator Foraker’s allusion to the work of the Peace Commission received cordial applause, as did his remark that he had no hesitation in entrusting the Administra- tion now in power with the solution of our future policy m the Philippines. Mr. For- aker turni to State politics and speak- ing of the vernorsh ip, : “I have a candidate for the Governorship of Ohio. One thing is certain, he will be a man who is not subject to the dictation of any man.” Everybody held his Sreath and laughed when he added . “IL do not know who that man will be, but the Republican party never makes a mistake, and whichever of the many may be named to the Ad who m to ho w hy vs 4 33 2 “ 5 j . : 3 i ‘ 2 se xk ; . = - ee? 7 a ae a a a ae he earn Sees. 1 . : + : ‘« ey: ee a i Mie « — ‘. : Pek Fe ho ie ” - a c. a i S i >a 2 a : : RS , is” REE : ; a nstdiomegutes a ane, _ - . acuene a a lt LAS x 3 e New Shoe for Gentlemen $3.00 BEST STOCK, NEW LASTS, BLACK AND TAN, TITAN AND BOX CALF, Vici KID, ENAMEL AND PATENT LEATHER, e292 250 mes Sato _ “ J.6.

He scored President Cleveland for “‘evading is- sues, which, if he had faced them, would have kept aloof the horrors of war from the shoulders of his successor.”’ Speaking of the Peace Commission, he said of Judge Day: “No honor that this State can bestow upon him is too great desserts.’’ Senator Davis’ pronouncement that it was foreordained that Spain should be ex- tirpated from both hemispheres was greet- ed with cheers, and he added that we could not return those isiands to the in- fernal cruelty of Spain. For the first time in the history of the country this question of foreign relationship met a perverse and a bigoted and one-eyed opposition drawn on party lines. Speak'ng of the Philippines he said: “I would bring them up tenderly, but in chastisement if we must.’’ He em- phasized his argument on expansion by dwelling upon the Wastward tendency of civilizaticn and national advancement. ‘‘We want markets,”’ he said. “We must have our share of the commerce of the East. For one I do not want to see the dismem- berment of the Chinese empire; I prefer to see that ancient and immemorial empire preserved intact, and I believe it to be with- in the power of the United States, Great Britain and Japan to accomplish that.” Senator Davis held that one move in this problem is the retention of the Philippines, which connect the Chinese Sea.

ON ee . — Ps NEW ORLEANS FRENCH OPERA COMPANY COMING HERE. ee ee MELBA TO SING IN “FAUST.” Musical Entertainments, Some Notable and Others Interesting to a Lim- ited Number of Persons. The New Orleans French Opera Com- pany, an organization of high repute in the South, is coming to St. Louis Feb. 21, and, if it is properly encouraged, it will become a regular annual visitor. Mr. Arthur Durien, representing M. Charley, the New Orleans maestro, is bere making arrangements for the French Opera Company’s St. Louis season at Music Hall, French opera has been a valued institu- tion in New Orleans for many years. It runs there for months and flourishes. The company is composed almost exclusively of French artists who cross the ocean for the one engagement. If arrangements can be meade for a season of a month or six weeks in St. Louis every year the manage- ment will be enabled to strengthen the company, as the singers can be engaged for six months comparatively cheaper than they can for four. “Our idea,” said Mr. Durien, “is to show St. Louls what a fine organization we have and thus rouse interest in it. If we show cause why we should be patronized we be- lieve the music lovers of St. Louis will give us a support that will justify us in coming here for long seasons year after ae Only grand operas will be sung during the St. Louis engagement, and the bili will be changed at every performance. Among the operas listed to be sung are: “Les Huguenots,” “La Guive,” “Aida,” ‘Tannhauser,” “Sigurd,” ‘Cavalleria Rus- ticana,” “Faust,” “La Nevarraise,” “La Reine de Saba,’’ and “L’Africaine.” The charge for seats will be from §& cents to $2, and the advance sale is now open. The leading tenor of the company is M. Gibert, and Mme, Fiereng is the prima donna, It is promised that the single night of grand opera in Italian which we shall have this season, Friday, March 3, from the Ellis Opera Co. (formerly Damrosch Ellis Co.) will be on a much grander scale than the performance of last year,-when we had Ros- sini’s light comedy masterpiece, “Barber of Seville,’’ with the small company and or- chestra that it required. This time the opera will be Gounod’s “‘Faust,”’ which will require the full strength of the company of 190 persons, including a full chorus, ballet and the New York Symphony Orchestra of 60 musicians. The chief attractions will be Madame Melba as Marguerite and Alvarez as Faust. Madame Melba thas for several seasons been at the head of the living col- oratura singers and is a favorite here. This is, however, the first appearance of the tenor Alvarez in this country. He has got only a six weeks’ leave of absence from the Paris Grand Opera, so after deducting the time of the ocean voyage, he will be able to sing but eleven or twelve times in this country. Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis will be the cities where he will appear in opera. His singing as Romeo in Boston last Tuesday was a great triumph, both the audience and the critics being unmeasured in their enthu- siasm. The fourth free organ recital of the pres- ent series at Pilgrim Congregational Church will be given Thursday evening. Mr. Bene- dict, the organist, will be assisted by A. I. Epstein, pianist, and Miss Grace Smith, so- prano. gy ‘ a : , ~ ALES Sg te re aia sis ae nee: : : GEN.- CHARLES - Kinc-. GEN. THOMAS M- ANDERSON, GEN Marcus PIMIRLER, BRIGADE COMMANDERS IN THE ARMY Major-General Elwell Stephen Otis, whose operations in the Philippines all the world is watching, was practically unknown out- side the United States Army, prior to his selection as Military Governor of the igl- anda. ‘ Gen. Otis went to Manila as second in command to Gen. Merritt, whom he suc- ceeded when the latter was called to Paris to give information to the members of the peace commission. He is now 61 years old, He began his military career as captain of a regiment of New York volunteers, end before the Civil war was over he had risen to a brigadier-generalship. He entered the regular army as lieutenant-colonel. In 1893 he was made a brigadier-general, and be- came commander of the Department of Columbia, and later was transferred to the Department of Colorado. On his way to the Philippines it fell to him to raire the American flag at Honolulu. He has still three years to serve in the urmy before his retirement. Gen. Otis is another added to the list of men appointed to the army from civil life who have rendered distinguished service. This does not mean that he is a political appointee, a man with a “pull” or a Son of Somebody, for he entered the regular army in 1866 after proving himself to an exceptionally good soldier. He had won an actual: l'eutenant-colonel- cy and a brevet brigadier-generalship in the volunteers and been severely wounded while fighting with his regiment in the Fifth Corps in one of the James River en- gagements before he entered the regular army as lieutenant-colonel of the Twenty- second Infantry. (Gesides th‘g sufficient record he had been twice brevetted for “gallant and meritorious service,” once at Spotteylvania and once at the battle of Chapel House, in the Virginia campaign, throughout which he served. Otis {s credited to New York in the rec- ords of the regular army, although he ie a native of Maryland. “He was a good lawyer, and !s yet,” said an old comrade, speaking of him. ““He studied the science of war with tho energy and persistence of any cadet trying for the Engineer Corps, but he has always kept up his law studies."’ In this respect it is recalled that Gen. Otis was the presiding officer of the fa- mous Carter court-martial, whica sat near- ly four months, and that the sornewhat im- posing array of civil lawyers who looked after Capt. Carter’s interests at that time freely «xpressed the opinion that Gen, Otis was as capable a judge of law as they had ever appeared before. It will be recalled that ex-Senator Hdmunds was called in lately to examine the proceedings and find- ings {n that case and after a long and crit- ical study returned the papers to Secretary Alger with the report that he could not find eyen so much as a technical flaw in them.’ Gen, Marcus F. Miller came out of West Point in 1858 and fought at Malvern Hill, in the Winchester campaign, and at Din- widdie Court House. He was brevetted for his services in these engagements cap- tain, major and lieutenant-colonel. Dur- ing the war with Spain he was with the Third Artillery and in full charge of the defenses of San Francisco. When the Manila situation demanded real army men to be in command he was selected by Major-General Wesley Merritt to com- mand the First Brigade of the Philippine expeditionary force. On his arrival at Manila he was intrusted with the troops stationed at Tlollo. His 41 years’ service in the army has been almost a continuous one of service. When not fighting the Confederates he was defending the frontier line of the nation from the attacks of In- dians. Hig make-up is that of a fighter. Brigadier-General Harrison Grey Otis owes his elevation to military life to the warm friendship of President McKinley. His record in the civil war was 49 months in the field, 15 engagements, two wounds 'n battle and seven promotions. He fought : 7 ; ; ’ A Sy .

IN THE PHILIPPINES. with the Twelfth ‘Ohio Volunteers and the Twenty-third Ohio Veteran Voluteer In- fantry. President McKinley knew him in the field and ever afterward admired him. He was brevetted a major on the recom- mendation of Major-General Rutherford B. Hayes. Gen. Otis was a newspaper man in Louisville when the civil war came and proprietor and editor of the Los An- geles Times when the Spanish war opened. His paper is one of the most Influential In Southern California and thoroughly atis- liked by the politicians. The firm will of its owner and his unrelenting opposition to machine politics has not made him popular with the rabble. Still, Gen, Otis is heartily feared by corruptionists. Charles King, brigadier-general, is ‘the well-known soldier-author of Wisconsin, who at the age of 16 volunteered for the union cause In the civil war and was ac- cepted. His first military duty was in- structing a drum corp in handling of the sticks. From the army he went to West Point, graduated, and then returned tu active service. During the race riots in New Orleans in 1871 and 1872 he was on duty at that point, and then saw Indian service in Arizona, He commanded Troop K, Fifth Cavalry, and for, gallantry in service at Diamond Buttee in 18/4 was recommended for a brevet captaincy by President Grant. In November, 1874, he was dangerously wounded at Sunset Pass. He fought through the Big Horn and Yellowstone campaigns of 1876, but in 1879 the opening of his old Indian wound forced him to retire from the service, He then joined the National Guard of Wis- consin, in which he has since been @ colonel. Thomas H. Anderson, until he became a brigadier general, was the senior colonel of the regular army. He was not only | ranking colonel of infantry, but also of = artillery and the engineer corps. For % years, or until his dispatch to the | pines, he was the commanding officer Vancouver Barracks, Washington. Fourteenth Infantry, United States Army, Was stationed there. Like Otis, Gen.

Doc Emmerson thought it would be a brilliant idea to add a tinge of realism to the serpentine dance which Elise Equantz, otherwise known as Fatima, was billed to do at his music hall at 1612 Market st. yes- terday afternoon. He procured six huge snakes, which he carefully retained in- captivity until Fa- tima’s turn was announced. When the fair dancer walked upon the stage and began to turn herself in the graceful motions of the serpentine dance, Hmmerson released his snakes. The unique plece of realism took Fatima by surprise. She screamed as the snakes’ writhed about the stage and, when she found an opening, she ran into the streets, Cold as it was and despite the fact that she was clad only in tights, Fatima would not return to the stage until every snake had ‘been killed. HE STOOD ON HIS RIGHTS. Geo. Frederick Cowed a Lindell Crew in a Friend’s Behalf. Florence M. Doyle, a bookkeeper for the National Tube Works, residing at 1514 6B. Jefferson av., and a steady patron of the Lindell red line, was threatened with eject- ment by the conductor of Compton Heights car No. 7 Friday at 6 p. m., on the Eigh- teenth st. bridge. Doyle and the conductor clashed be- cause Doyle refused to step nearer the front door when the car was crowded. He stood opposite the second front seat, and when told to move forward stepped into the space between two seats. This did not suit the conductor, who wanted Doyle to move forward bodily. Aided by the motorman the conductor at- tempted to throw Doyle off. George Frederick of the Koken Iron Works pulled the conductor aside, read the riot act to the crew, and the conductor retired amid the hoots of the crowd. Doyle may bring suit against the Lindell company. Mr. Sprague Says Coffee is the Delicatessen leader. He was told none better could be bought if he paid $1 per pound. Ziegenhein Republicans.

Francis Stecher was discharged yea- terday morning in the Court of Crimina) Correction as not guilty of obtaining goods under false pretenses. Stecher is the man who presented a $90 organ to the Church of the Holy Rosary and gave Pfeffer & Son, its makers, a worthiess check in payment for it. Judge Clark held that the evidence showed that the organ was sold on credit and was not obtained under false pretenses. E. A. Pfeffer, who is out the organ, has laid the facts before assistant Circult At- torney Hodgdon, who has promised to take Stecher’s case before the grand jury. The New Orleans Mardi Gras.

Manager Giffen of the Grand Opera House had a day of worry yesterday over the long-distance telephone that he will not soon forget. It was late last night that, after an expenditure of $18.30 for telephone service between St. Louis and Cincinnati, he received Manager Jim Hyde's ultimatum on a week's engagement of Hyde's Comed- ilans at the Grand Opera House, and that was that Hyde refused to switch his date to some other city. In October last a con- tract was made with Hyde’s Comedians for a week in February at the Grand. After the engagement of Manager Giffen and the present excellent stock company, the Tri-State Amusement Company and Manager Giffen made special efforts to can- cel the Hyde contract, so that the stock company could continue uninterruptedly the success it has attained in their presentation of high-class productions. All arrangements had been e to produce “An Enemy to the King” at the Grand, opening next Sunday matinee. The refusal of Manager Hyde, however, to cancel his date will necessitate the postponement of the play until a week later. A handsome production of “An Enemy to the King" is promised for the week of Feb. 2%, opening with the Sunday matinee. The stock com- pany will put in all of next week in dally rehearsals and the play ll be given on a magnificent scale. CADETS AS DETECTIVES. Ferreted Out the Crime of Two Boys at West Point. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WEST POINT, N. Y., Feb. 11.—The most interesting thing in connection with the dismissal of two West Point cadets from the Military Academy is the method of their detection in a crime, the perpetrators of which had for a long time puzzled the authorities. Many reports have been circulated as to the causes for the dismissal of the second classmen, Freney G. Lane and Charies L, Raender. The academy officers have posi- tively refused to discuss their cases. The twofold charges against them was: 1. Tampering with the records of the Mil- itary Academy in such manner as to change their relative standing in the insti- tution. 2. Lying when confronted with the charge. ~* The officers had great @Yfculty in lecat- ing the crime. Hach scholar was ques- tioned privately, and each denied the charge. It was shown each one that the crime affectedethe standing of every one in the clavs. This set the boys themselves at work, They soon narrowed down their mus tual suspicions to the two men, who were subsequently dismiased. It did not take Capt. Mills, superintend- ent of the academy, long to discover this state of affairs and the reason for it. Secretary Alger has already dismissed the two cadeta, is action operates in the eame manner as a similar discharge from the Regular Army, tn that it precludes those discharged from ever holding a po- sition of honor or trust under the Govern- ment of the United States. COPTIC OFF FOR HAWAII. Steamer Carried Medicine and Letters for American Soldiers. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.—The steam- ship Coptic ealied for China an@ Japan to- day via Honolulu, with a large number of passengers.

Store Damaged, Bryant Bruised, the Neighbors Frightened and Leak Repaired by Gas Company. An explosion of tlluminating gas curred in the cellar of the drug owned by E. A. Bernius, eat 443 BDaston &y., yesterday afternoon, injuring William 4H, Bryant, a clerk, and working considerable damage to the drug bottles and the nerves of the community. Bryant's injuries were slight, he being bruised from contact with the cellar etalr way, against which the explosion blew him with considerable force. The explosion made a cannon-like noise — and knocked several bottles of explosive drugs off the shelves. Bryant caused the explosion by lighting a metch in the cellar to look for a leak in the gas pipe. He found it. The odor of escaping gas had been per- ceptible in the drug store several Bryant went down into the cellar about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon on a scouting ~ expedition tn search of the kek. He car- ried a box of matches and scratched one as soon as he got into the ceilar. Where he scratched it Bryant does not remember, for at the same instant there was a sim- ultaneous flash and report end the drug clerk was struck amidships and all over by some force he knew not of which lifted him off his feet and huried him against the stairway. When he reached the floor above the bot- tles were st.l] trembling on the shelves shattered ones were lying in thé pools rivers of their former contents on the nice clean floor. The store was also full ot frightened neighbors. he gas company was notified and work- men repaired the leaking pipe. ONE-HALF HOUR OF PRAYER.

Wational Editorial Association and the Paint, Oil and Drug Club to Hear Arguments, The movement to hold a World’s Fair in St. Louis in 1 is going forward rapidly, and the project is gaining strength dally. During the present week two most im- portant meetings will be held, which prom- ise to have much influence in crystallizing the popular feeling in favor of the Expo- alition. Tuesday evening the Executive Commit- tee of the National Editorial Association will meet at the Mercantile Club. The main subject for discussion will be the World's Fair, and the evening will furnish a rich treat in the way of oratory. Those who have the project in hand realize that with. out the support of the press throughout the purchased territory little can se done: The speakers of the evening will be Hon. F. W. Lehman and President John C. Wil- kinson of the Business Men's League. Mr. “Lehman has the history of the purchase at his fingers’ ends and speaks fascinatingly of the practical and sentimental reasons for celebrating the great event. Mr. Wiikinson's eloquence is that of the business man. He is primed with facts end figures to show the substantial advantages which will result in the i:.vestment of money in an international exposition. Next Thursday evening at the Mercantile Ciub the Paint, Oil and Drug Club, one of the most important St. Louis business or- ganizations, will meet to formulate a plan whereby all of the mercantile bodies in the purchase territory shall be banded together with the common purpcse of making the Exposition a success. The World’s Fair Executive Committee has delegated Messrs. ¢. P. Walbridge and Menry T. Kent to represent it at the tneeting. Both of these gentlemen will address the members of the club and suggest ways and means of form- ing the proposed organization of mercartile bodies. To-morrow evening ex-Gov. D. R. Fran- cls, B. C. Kehr and T. S. McPheeters will address a meeting of the Furniture Board of Trade at the Century buliding. The prel‘minary fund to pay the expenses of the banquet at the Dewey Hotel in Washington next Saturday night was raised in remarkably quick time. Already $17,950 has been pledged.

ALL LIES ARE ACTIVE GOOD SHOWING MADE BY THE RAILWAY TRAFFIC REPORTS. MONEY PLENTY, RATES LOWER. Bank Statement Shows a Decrease of $1,940,850 in Surplus, but Cash Increased $68,000. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—The week’s trade reports bank clearances, and finally the traffic returns of the railways reflect no abatement of consequence in the country’s extraordinary business activ- ity. The stock market, however, hesitates in the fashion often witnessed at this sea- son, Wall street was enjoying a partjal holiday to-day. The New York stock excHange was closed, but the other Wall street exchanges were open. TRe weekly statement of aver- ages of the associated banks showed a de- crease in surplus reserves amounting to $1,940,850. Actual cash holdings increased $68,000, but deposits increased $8,036,000,which would have made necessary as an offset a gain in cash of $2,009;000. The increase in de- posits was wholly due to an increase in the loan account, which amounted to $8,516,000. The latter change was regarded by bankers as reflecting chiefly the extensive syndicate operations being carried on in connection With the industrial combinations forming, and further to the return of Amcrican ge- curitles from Europe. London cable advices showed generally higher prices for American railway shares. The only material decline was in the case of Pennsylvania, which was lg points lower, Money in London was 2% per cent and the rate of discount for short bills was 1 15- 16@2 per cent, and for three months’ bills, 2 per cent. Bar silver was quiet at 274d an ounce. The amount of bullion that went into the Bank of England on balance to-day was 20,000 pounds. Renteg, in Paris, were quoted at 102 francs 19% centimes for the account. Speculators weressmuch concerned all week over possibilties in the bank state- ment, but notwithstanding this the money market itself has given and'gives no sign of change. Bankers found difficulty yes- terday in employing their funds on call over until Tuesday at 2 per cent, and the lenders of money for many reasons expect to obtain no higher rates before the inte- rior movement of money begins with the harvest season. The heavy foreign lquidation of last month has apparently culminated and is unquestionably tapering off. It continues in sufficient volume to maintain the ster- ling exchange market at its recent advance, and a further influence in this respect is the expected remittance of the Spanish in- demnity of $20,000,000. The well-sustained foreign trade conditions, however, render the course of the sterling market of little actual s:.gnificance. ST. LOUIS SECURITIES.

The Weekly Market Review of Max Judd & Co. says: The stock market has experienced some- thing of a reactionary movement during the week just closed, and an unsettled and irregular condition of affairs seemed, at times, to pervade it. No reason can be justly found for this fact, other than that the overloaded condi- tion of the market and the supply ex- ceeding the demand justified the decline that was general at the beginning of the week. While a lower tone has been notice- able in the market, a satisfactorily safe feeling is everywhere apparent, and this speaks well for the present situation. The opening of the week saw some con- ditions og discontent in the market, and the liquidation of speculative holdings on that day probably caused the general de- cline that took place on the day following and continued on Wednesday. That the market had a strong and firm undertone, however, was noticeable to anyone who took the trouble to observe the quickness with which the market rebounded on Thursday and the speed with which sev- eral of the most prominent securities ad- vanced during that day. The condition of the foreign market and also that of the domestic money market undoubtedly hada reassuring and invigorating effect on the stock markets of the country, and under these influences the market was buoyed up wonderfully. On Friday, the market closed with advances in some of the leading specialties, but with the tone rather unset- tled and undetermined. The Eastern com- mission houses reported having few orders and the trading on London account was in very moderate volume without a marked tendency. At the close a brisk movement, bullish in manner, set in, and almost every stock in the list rallied, and the week's market closed with the prospect for higher prices very bright. Notwithstanding reporte, which had been circulated to the contrary, the bank state- ment, asigiven out Saturday, was some- what ye on account of the con- tinual decrease of the reserve. This will, in all probability, have a halting effect on next week's stock market, and while it is not probable that as a general rule, prices will not recede, in most cases it would be unwise to predict an advance with the rapidity predicted by some operators. he report of the earnings of the _ St. Paul Railroad for the first week in Feb- ruary shows that road to be in a most flourishing condition, and the earnings of the system are nothing short of phenom- enal, being by far the best in the road’s history. The condition of the money market fs still healthy and active, and the effect that this condition of affairs can have on the stock market can be, of course, nothing otherwise than good. American securities in especially London, sure either way. don considers invest in, as it have taken very much to rican stocks, an element of dan The future market cases will most probably, he ou should not be the foreign, and the South Af- ger connected with them. may, and in some sell higher, Mpened Sek bh me that , All be one characterize r le. le pagan just reasons and will be healthy and gradual.

ST | AN UPWARD TENDENCY NO SIGNIFICANT BULL MOVE- MENT, BUT GRAINS HIGHER. THE MARKETS FEATURELESS. Wheat Up 1 1-4c, Corn 3-4a7-8c and Oats 7-8alc Higher—Weekly Market heview. WHBAT.—The market was rather barren of feature or interest last week: After the grand and lofty tumbling performaces of the two previous weeks, st 6%c up and then as much down, the speculators seemed to be willing to take a breathing spell, and there was no very pronounced or significant change in values any day during the week. The trend has been slightly upward, but the chief factor was tne weather rather than speculation. There has been litue if any outside speculation. The buying has been chietiy by shorts and scalpers and pretty much all the business by regular pit traders. As has been stated, the weather has been the chief factor. It is the time of the year for the early crop of damage _ reports ‘which come along on schedule time almost any kind of winter.. This year they have had a better warrant than usual, because the cold has been more eevere and there has been less snow covering. Reports of damage Must be received cum grano salis, for until there has been some _ growing weather and the plant is visible, the ex- tent of the damage, if any, cannot be ascertained. It should not be forgotten either that winter wheat is not a hot house plant. If it were not capable of surviving even zero weather and below there would be very little harvested. It is true, too, that under modern farming methods the plow runs deeper, and the seed wheat is sown further from the top than was the case some years ago, all of which is in favor of the wheat, and a frost which might have seriously curtailed the crop then would leave it unharmed now. On the other hand it is also true that damage is much more likely to be inflicted when the ground is unprotected by gnow, but it is after all merely speculation as to the ex- tent of damage, and must remain so until the plant shows itself—or fails to do so. Still although reports actually claiming damage done are premature, the proba- bility of damage is greater, hence these reports have gained more ready credence, and a better feeling has been established, The extreme cold has had another effect, also calculated to kcep the market up. It has cut down primary Western receipts at all points, particularly in the North- west. Until this scvere weather set in the daily receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth averaged W per cent above those of a year ago, but they have fallen off to around 300 cars a day, and each day last week they were smaller than the corre- sponding day of last year. A decrease in receipts while exports continue large js bound to have some effect, from whatever cause. The cause is doubtless attributable chiefly to the cold weather. Reports from the Northwest say that what little wheat is coming in is from country elevators, mostly at railroad points where no hauling by wagons is to be done. The farmer would have to be eorely pressed to thaul his wheat to a shipping point this kind of weather. When ‘the weather moderates an increase in wheat receipts may be looked for. Offsetting these strengthening factors Argentine shipments came fairly large, about 850,000 bu., with large movement from interior points reported, and free offerings for exports which have had the effect of keeping the Liverpool market from follow- ing us closely, and in spite of clearances being egain large, 5,780,000 bu., including flour, against 6,585,418 bu. the week before, and 3,419,540 bu a year ago and with pri- mary receipts falling off, the visible sup- ply will again doubtless show a small in- crease. With small trade, and bullish factors off- set, there has been little change from what the situation was before the two weeks of alternate bulge and slump, May closing yesterday 1%4c higher than the Saturday be- fore. July displayed relatively more strength as there was considerable buying of that option by St. Louis traders both in this market and Chicago—especially in the latter city, so that while May advanced lc July went up 2%c. Up to Friday night the advance in May was only *%@‘%c. The best | advance was on Wednesday and Thursday which two days saw a gain of l%«c over This was dUe to the extreme ccld, Moderating weather and predictions of enow caused a decline of \%@%c on Friday, but when another cold wave was reported en route on Saturday, the loss of Friday was regained, aided by higher cables. Spots have shown very little change dur- Millers have not been heavy buyers in the sample market and while red grades are about unchanged from a week ago, hards and spring are a little lower. Public stocks 1,198,000 bu. show little change, a gain of less than 10,000 bu. for the week. CORN—The market has been as feature- less as wheat, and until yesterday varied not more than \c either way from day to day, up one day and down the next, the total advance for the week up to Friday's close being only %c. Yesterday, however, the combined effects of the cold wave pre- diction, the advance in wheat, and Liver- pool cables %d higher, May advanced %@ %&d, meking the total gain for the week %@%d, while July advanced %d. There is very little to be said of the mar- ket. Primary receipts have kept up well, and clearances were fairly good, but not up to last year, with 3,866,622 bu. this week, against 3,697,731 bu. and 4,508,072 bu. same week last year. The visible supply state- ment will show a good increase for the week. There has been practically no out- side speculation, and although Chicago reported a little increase in trading yester- day, there have Deen ho large deals, and the recognized corn traders have been the only operators. Public stocks, 1,304,000 bu., show an in- crease of about 300,000 bu. for the week. Business In epots has been rather light, as the increase in stocks has been tn the face of considerably diminished receipts. Prices in the sample market are unchanged.

HAY—The cold weather has interfered considerably with the movement, both as to receipts and sales. Few buyers willl go across the river unless compelled by urgent need to do so. There has been a good de- mand for both choice timothy and clover, but inferior grades have been neglected, and prairie has been particularly dull, Prices remained steady, as for the past month. FLOUR—No improvement can be noted in business, dealers and millers alike com- plaining. The mills are not running to more than half the capacity now, and still stocks are accumulating, with extremely small demand Yor domestic, and practically more for export. Prices remain unchanged, except top price for patents is 10@15e up. CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.—Follow- ing is the weekly review of the market by J. F. Harris, Chicago, by private wire to J. W. Sanford: Chicago, Feb. 11.—Liverpool was a sur- prise to-day. This unexpected Liverpool strength and the continuance of very cold weather caused a lc rally here, most of which was retained. Clearances were 315,- 000 bu. The visible expected to be a stand- off. The world’s shipments will be around 7,500,000 bu, most of it from this side. There was a decided improvement in the sample market, due to buying by millers. An in- cident was the decided strength fh the New York market. The severest weather of the year is predicted for Sunday 4nd it is creat- ing some alarm because of the light snow protection. Trade was narrow and buying for the most part by shorts, who did not want to let their lines stand out till Tues- day, considering the severe winter that is predicted and which already has its grip on the West and South, Corn has been firm, affected most by extreme cold weather. It has started a good deal of talk of the increased feeding required and the increased consumption over the entire country. An increase of a million or more: is expected in the local stock. Market has a strong undertone. Oats have been strong on general buy- ing led by Bartlett, Frazier and Counsel- man. There has been a lot of country buying for speculative account and an im- proved shipping demand. The claim is per- sistent that the country has marketed oats up pretty well. Provisions closed strong with a fair buy- ing of lard. Swift has taken the most. Brokers who sometimes act for Armour have also bought lard. Since Feb. 1 ribs, it is estimated, have increased 1,000,000 pounds, lard 11,000 tons and pork 12,000 barrels. Early there was an apparent ef- fort to force pork below $10 and ribs un- der 5c, but again it failed. Just before the close there was a small but sharp rally and it looks as if the packers were buyers. John E. Hall, who got the worst of it in a recent tussle with la grippe, left for New Orleans Friday night. After taking in the Mard! Gras festivities in that city he wl leave for Havana, Cuba, on Thursday for a stay of three weeks. He carries a letter of introduction to Dick Little, a newspaper man, with a request that he “show him Havana.” Mr. Little. by the way, is about the longest Little who ever came out of Bloomington, Ill. He is 6 feet 4 inches tall, and when Br’er John gets with him it will be another case of the “long and the short man,”’ Billy Grassmuck has a grievance against the Suburban line management. He says it costs him 20 cents a day to get uptown. The cars sre eo wretchedly cold he has to invest 15 cents in Bourbon before getting aboard to keep from freezing to death. He does not state how much it costs to get home o’ nights. Mose Fraley was on "Change yesterday, a stranger so long that Tom Carter took him for a visitor from Pike County, and showed him around, pointing out the foun- tain, the pit, the corn and wheat clocks and other attractions. The Wheat Corner and Millers’ Quartet practices at the close every Saturday, and draws large and enthusiastic audiences. It is composed of Bogy Taylor, first tenor; Will Stanard, second tenor; E. F. Macy first bass, and Sam Plant, second baas. The Exchange will be closed to-morrow as will be the Boards of Trade at Chicago. New York and other points, in celebration of Lincoln's birthday. There will be a curb market probably. Col, Babcock paces the corridors, singing softly to himself these days. This is what he sings: THE RAVINGS OF BABCOCK. I dreampt that [I dwelt in marble halis With vaesals and serfs by my aide, And of all who assembled within those walls I was ever a thorn tn their hide. I had riches galore at one stage of the ame, Butl dropped it on bulges and slumps, Then they barred me out, but all the same I'm as good as the other chumps, I'm as good, I'm as good as the other chumps; Just as good, just as good, as the other chumps. Chat From ’Change. Will Ewing neatiy turned the tables on Ex-Jov. Stanard, Billy Grasvemuck and a few other jokers on Friday. The crowd had it all fixed up to get Mr. Ewing started on a story and then leave him without an auditor. Mr. Ewing had been there before. but pretended to bite, saying he would tel! a cold weather yarn, apropos of the weath- er. “Where were you.

Mr. Counselman, in an interview on for- eign situation, says: “Foreigners are ‘good’ buyers, the chief reason, 1 think, why they are sending so much bear news over here on wheat.

PICTURES WELL WORTH SEEING The Art League of St. Louis to Give Teachers and Pupils of the Pub- lic Schools a Treat. An exhibition of works of art suitable for schoolroom decoration will be held at the High School building from Thursday to Saturday next inclusive, from 2:45 to 5:30 and from 7 to 10 p. m. dally. The Art League of St. Louls has ar- ranged to bring to this city a collection of 600 pictures especially selected for school- room decoration. This exhibition has been indorsed by leading art educators through- out the United States. It consista mainly of carbon photographs taken directly from the original works in the great museums of Burope, but there are also pictures of famous men and women, historic buildings ‘and places, All are of a size suitable for the walls of the usual schoolroom or for large halls, Public school teachers and public school pupils, when accompanied by teachers or adults, will be admitted free. The entire proceeds wil] be expended in buying dupli- cates of these pictures, all of which will] be placed in the various schools. The League already has pictures in about 40 schools, but hopes, through this exhibition, to be able to give its pictures to all the other schools of St. Louts. In addition to the exhibition there will be an entertainment, consisting of mu- sic and calisthenic exercises, in the High School Auditorium, each evening excepting eb. 0 and Feb, 23. All visitors to the ex- ibition will be admitted to the Auditorium without extra charge. Brought to the attention of the art sec- tion of the Wednesday Club by Miss Mary K. Bulkley in November, 188, and eagerly adopted a@ the child of the section, the league began its work the day before Christmas by placing ® framed photo- raphs in one of the St. Louis schools. In ay, 1897, the league felt that it had proved ite usefulness and its ability to stand alone, and left the Wednesday Club, formally or- ganizing under its new name. The result has been to increase interest in art, to teach the future citizens of St. Louis by pictutes and casts In achoolrooms what has been already accomplished in painting, sculpture and architecture, to familiarize youth with the faces of the world's great men and with historic and beautiful places te create a demand for beauty in everyday life. The league has expended $8645, although many pictures have been donated, In this period the league loaned over 300 pictures te % public schools, 111 of which were valu- able autotypes placed by the courtesy of Director Halsey C. Ives of the Museum of Fine Artes. Principals, teachers and students in 60 aghools are urgently asking the league for ctures, The plan has been to distribute em in sets of 10, circulating among the Schools, arousing and holding interest. This plan is unique in public school Jeagues. It is proposed to loan portfolios contain- ing collections varying in the nimber of works illustrating schoola of art, historical Subjects, or famous places. They will be loaned to teachers applying for them, for uuge in history, geography or literature Classes. During the summer, when the achools are closed, the league loans its pic- tures to reading reoms, clubs and social NIGHTS: ) £ 3~-80~S0. > IMIPERIAL. | te ee TORBAY, WEONESDAY AND SATURDAY. uncsatlare' IMMORTAL TRAGEDY, mR.

LOUIS POST “-DISPATCH—FEBRUARY 12, 1899 OD ee ST, LOUIS DOG SHOW, A 6ON OF JAY GOULD CONTRIB- UTES TO FITS PRIZE LIST. HE WILL GIVE A PUPPY BOWL. ——— " Owners of Fine Dogs in All Parts of the Country Taking an Interest in the St. Louis Exhibition. Never before in the history of bench shows in St. Louls—and this period covers a great many years—has such generally widespread interest been manifested by not only local lovers of high class dogs, but by the public in general all over the country, in the coming Third Annual “Dog Show which takes place March 15, 16, 17 and 18 in the Coliseum. This fact is a source of eminent gratifica- tion to the St. Louis gentlemen who are 50 energetically directing the affairs of this bench show. That it will be a magnificent success fn every e@ement that goes to make a dog show attractive to exhibitors and the pub- lic in general goes without saying. The management report unusually bril- liant prospects. The gentlemen having it in charge are highly gratified over the fact that at this early stage a great many mote inquiries concerning the show have been made at the corresponding date than at any exhibition of the kind in years past. This means that the entries will far ex- ceed in numerical strength and in quality those of any show ever held here. Owners of high-class dogs in St. Louls are determined that the public shall see benched at the coming show all their canine beauties, and are sparing neither pains nor expense to get their dogs in rst-class sha for this Saga event. This is equally true of dog owners throughout the Past, fest, Norte and South. Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Chicago, Grand Rap- ids, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Memphis, Nashville. New Orleans and other cities where fine-bred dogs are owned will send kennels here. ‘As an evidence of the strong interest manifested in the coming show, the follow- ing letter fromthe late Jay Gould’s son, Frank Jay Gould, will be doubly interest- ing, not only as a te gg indorsement of . Louls Dog Show, but as evidence of the fact that the exhibition will be strongly magnetic in drawing attention, patronage and dogs‘from all over the country. Here is the letter: 19% Broadway, New York City, Feb. 9. To the Management of the St. Louis Dog Show, Room &, Insurance Building, St. Louis: Gentlemen—I should be very glad to of- fer a “Puppy Bow!” to be awarded to the best American-bred St. Bernard puppy at Fae Somning show of the St. Louls Kennel Club. This bow] is to be open to all competition, and won outright at this show. I am very truly, FRANK JAY GOULD. There are some ag handsome St. Ber- mards owned in Si. uls, the owners of which will rejoice at this splendid offer, and also over the fact that it will stimulate rivalry in this noble breed and be an in- centive to showing up these dogs in their Bunday-go-to-meeting clothes. But this will not be the only cup that will be offered for competion. That bright young business man, Mr. Ben C. Adkins, of St. Louis has donated a handsome cup to be given to the best local fox terrier of either sex. Mr. Adkins is a great lover of fine dogs, and appreciates the efforts be- ing.made by the St. Louis management to far surpass all previous efforts, and be- lieves in thoroughly encouraging the good work being done in this direction. It would be well to state that the first entry made for the show was handed in at the office of Mr. William Brake, who en- ters his terrier, Juliet. Speaking of fox terriers, one of’ the pic- tures herewith presented shows Claude Duval, recognized as probably the finest apecimen of a smooth fox terrier living to-day. It la owned by George Rapér of Wincobank, England. Mr. Raper has been judging dogs at Pnglish shows for years, and occupies about the same _ pos-tion across the water as James Mortimer does in America. Raper’s ability to spot a winner ina young dog (a faculty that not all dog men possess, even if they be good all-around judges) was well exemplified in the case of the wired-haired fox terrier zi, Bang,” for which Mr. Carnochan of Boston pa'd the record-breaking price of , a few weeks ago, and Claude Duval fe even as big a sensation in smooth fox terriers and worth probably more money than “Go Bang."" Mr. Raper will judge bloodhounds and some of the other larger breeds at New York in February, and may take a run out to St. Louis to see how a Western show ts conducted before he goes back to Old BDngland. The celebrated St. Bernard dog St. (eon- ard is owned by the Alta Kennels, Toledo. O., and one of the finest specimens of St Rernarde in America. He is a fine, large, well-developed dog, and will be one of the best attractions in the St. uls Show. In R coming St. Louis Show will have benched some the most beautiful canine celebrities ever bred, and the prospects for the exhibition are very flattering, to say the least. The fllustrations on thie page are of Mr. James Cole of Kansas City and the dogs Sandor Von Inn and Claude Duval.

The Attempt to Form It Has So Far - Been Unsuccessful. ‘ANDERSON, Ind., Fed. 11.—As in he last eight seasons, the Indiana Baseball League Dubble has burst. It can be stated to-day that the project will fail. This city, at least, will not be represented in a league. If Sunday baseball were permitted there ‘would be no trouble in effecting a etrong organization in Eastern Indiana, but this is mot possible at this point, neither is it at Muncie, Marion or Kokomo. The other wns named in connection with the scheme are not large enough to successfully oper- — though Sunday ball in them’ would Probably be permitted.

J STLOd BENCH SHOW Oa $2500 per year should not be made to de- pend on the whim of the President, but should be made more secure and taken out of politics. That mare contains about all that is good in Chairman Mott's report. His other suggestion is that the Racing Board be compdsed of all the handicappers in the United States, instead of a compact board of seven members. Now, this sug- gestion of such a cumbersome machine 1s too wild to be even considered seriously. How in the name of all that is g board consisting of 36 members could g0v- ern the sport and vote on the questions which come before the board, I cannot imagine. The proposal is Mottesque. I was glad to see the good record made by John B. Sheridan, the local member of the Racing Board. It is true that Sheridan had the next lightest district to handle, but his work in proportion is a credit to him. It is also true that Sheridan. figured very little in the Racing Board bulletin, but his management of h's office showed that he was doing his best by the league. He Iis- sued 226 sanctions and the expenses of his office for the year amounted only to $175. Mr. Foltz of Indiana issued 279 sanctions and his expenses were $60. Sheridan was economical and turned money .into the board’s |treasury every month. In passing I might state that Sheridan is sick and tired of his job, notwithstanding the poultice of $00, and he says he will not take the place again. I don’t blame him. The ‘‘outlaws’’ appointed Charlle Root as the'r Western representative, and ‘Root wrote a scorching letter declining the honor (7). He gave as his reasons for his action. that he coneidered the L. A. W. the proper body to control racing; that it has done its duty well, and that the outlaws are influenced solely by selfish motives and not by the welfare of racing. When Root declined the outlaws approached our own Sheridan and tendered h'm the place, but they got a quiet laugh from John B. Now I see that they have published Sam Miles of Chicago as the official, but whether with or without his consent I know not. Thev did not have Root’s consent, but they published him just the same. Chairman Mott says, in his Te he was offered the pres:dency of the out- law organization, but, of course, he de- clined it. How curious it is that these men, who are kicking against the govern- ment of the L. A. W., find it necessary to apply to league officials to govern their own organization. It !s a confession that they are in the wrong. e Arthur Gardiner says it was understood that the L. A. W. attempted to get the cutlaws to petition the assembly to aban- don the control of racing. Arthur knows this is not so. The Ll. l use a stuffed club, not an attempt. rt, that Missourl had one yy gy for member- ship last week, the first for two months, and the Bulletin gives our figures as %465. This is lese than cne-half of what we had two years ago and we shall? have no portunity to recruit before the riding sea- son opens. I am informed that Chief Con- sul Billingsley will institute an act've can- vass in the early spring and uy to regain our old position. In this he will need the active co-operation of all the members who are left, and I trust that he will not be d'sappointed. The Missouri division has accomplished much for its members in the last few onths in the way of eprinkling reforms ahd the officers should be upheld. THY REFEREES. THE ST. LOUIS BOOKLIES. Tom Walsh, Cole Ullman and Others Hope to Do Business at Wellston. There will be a lively time at Wellston on Monday afternoon should Judge Hirzel of the County Court at Clayton declare that the present poolrooms there are mot operat- ing contrary to the law governing such es- tablishments. If Judge Hirzel acquits the men who were arrested last week for running the pool- room at Wellston several other bookmak- ers will take advantage of the situation that will then be opened to them and will set up places at Wellston almost adjoining the poolroom now in operation there, Tom Walsh, or “Texas Tom,” as he is best known, is said to have the backing of Johnny Payne, the Cincinnati bookmaker, and if the coast is clear Monday afternoon he will try his hand at the game at Wells- ton, opening a room near the one now run- ning there, Cole Uliman has arranged to come from Hot Springs and to locate in the county providing the coast there is cleared for him. Bookmaker Corneliug, who still has the charter for the Interstate Telegraph Co., and who with Hank Wider and others ran the old telegraph poolroom in the Fagin building, is another bookie who report has it is getting ready to do business at Wells- t on. A lot of other handbook men who are now eking out a precarious existence down- town will also try their hand at Wellston if the ot fellows will only make the way clear f em.

That Good Horse Will Be One of the Best Played in the Big Race on the Golden Slope. The California Derby, to be decided Sat- urday week, is the feature of the month’s racing on the Pacific Coast, and also the racing piece of the winter season. So many of the alleged stakes worth from $1500 down run at the San Francisco and New Orleans tracks result in a racing or betting proposition the ordinary overnight handicap would be ashamed of, the public are beginning to think a so-called stake is simply programmed to enable the press agent of the track to get in his fine work with the newspapers and the Associated Press, The California Derby is sufficient of a race to stand on its own merits without eleemosynary advertisement. Sam McKeever, First Tenor, Olinthus, Gauntlet, Los Medanos, Formero, Corsine, Horton and Limewater have all shown guf- ficient form to entitle them to capture clas- sic honors. Sam McKeever was purchased by Fred Foster, late of Sportsman’s Park, St. Louis, purposely to win the race undcr review. His sire, Gam Lucas, appears to be the coming stallion of the Far West. His dam was a daughter of Salvator, and if breed- ing and astute handling go for anything, Fred Foster will probably pull down his first Derby. Burns and Waterhouse think they have a clever performer in First Ten- or; but if Formero ts able to show the form he possessed last season on the Eastern tracks he should credit California with the mens notable 8-year-old race run in that ate, Col, W. L. Cassidy, the owner of Sir Rob- ert, Sir Kingston, Air Blast and Kitty B., leaves for Hot Springs Monday to get re- lief from the pains of impending paralysis. Col. Cassidy is very much on the outs with the weather man, as his trainer, ‘‘Red Bill” Whalen, wires him from Little Rock that the City of Roses is in the hands of Jack baeues and it is impossible to exercise the rses, According to a letter written by Col, Rawlings of the transfer company at Lit- tle Rock, Barney Schreiber will have a sta- ble of horses at the approaching meeting at the Arkansas capital. As Col. Rawlings is an expert fisherman, and yet never brings any of the finny tribe home to fry, his statement is open to question. The biggest winner at the Hot Springs poolrooms last week was President P. J. Nolan of the West End Club. Pete lost a roll on Frede in his fight with Murray Fri- day night, but he was well able to stand the defeat of his protege, as he had several thousand dollars of the Hot Springs money in his jeans, Last year racing on the Northern cir- cult began at Detroit and the Detroit meet- ing was followed in order by the meetings at Fort Erie, Montreal and Windsor. This year a different order will be followed, Mon- treal being given the honor of leading off. Racing will begin at the Canadian metrop- olis Thursday, June 8, and terminate Satur- day, June 2. The Fort Erie meeting comes second on the circuit. The meeting at that point opens Wednesday, June 28, and closes Wed- nesday, July 19. The Canadian Derby, one and a half miles, for 3-year-olds, of the value of $2500, will be decided on the openh- ing day. It will be the star event of the circuit. Last year it was won by the good filly, Miss Gussie. In fact, the race then ex- hibited the peculiarity of being contested by fillies alone, something not likely to occur again. From Fort Erie the followers of the cir- cult will travel to Windsor where the rac- ing will commence Saturday, July 22, and continue to and including Aug. 12. The Merchants’ Stakes for 38-year-old fillies, Martimas Stakes for 3-year-olds and up- ward and the Essex Stakes for 2-year-olds will constitute the big events of the meet- ing; each being $1000 guaranteed. The meeting at Highland Park, Detroit, will end the series.. The meeting at that important point is set to begin Monday, yo . and will come to a close Saturday, Mike Barry, the erstwhile partner of Sam Eckert in the halcyon days of racing in Missouri, thinks that he has a second Banchee in Bandoo, a 3-year-old chestnut gelding by imp. Abana out of Hindoonet by Hindoo. Abana was sired by Syrian, a very speedy miler, who placed the Shrop- shire Handicap and many other big races to his owner’s credit. —_— -~o—-_—__ A BLOW ON THE SHOULDER.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Feb, 11.—All players under re- serve by the Chicago Baseball Club have received contracts for the season of 1899, and have been asked to sign and return them to President Hart. Three of the men have already signed, and it is expected that the contracts from all of the rest will be re- turned in a week or ten days. It is not.ap- prehended that there will be any disagree- ment between the players and the manage- ment. The contracts sent out have not been bur- dened with added clauses and amendments. There is no temperance clause in the docu- ment sent out by President Hart, and he said yesterday that he did not believe any were needed for the Chicago players. What the players receive in salaries is a secret with the management. Unless some are released before the spring practice be- gins there will be 18 men on the team, two full nines. It is conceded on all sides that Griffith will be the recipient of the highest salary. Lange and Ryan come near the limit. Callahan will probably fall behind Griffith $200, and Taylor will get nearly as much as Callahan, Phyle will get less than either. Thornton, although his services to the team has been of doubtful value, is one of the well paid men. Demontreville will not get the salary that Dahlen drew the last two years he was with Chicago. Dahlen was one of the highest salaried men in the league. It is under- stood that last year while acting as cap- tain his remuneration for the six months of play was somewhere near the $3000 mark. Demont will draw less, but still his stipend will rank well among the topnotchers. Everitt, Donahue and McCormick are up among the leaders, Katoll was taken on probation last fall, but was paid for the time the spent with the team. Connor, Nichols, Wolverton, Mertes, Chance and Green probably come under $2000, FOOTBALL CONTESTS POSTPONED. To-Day’s Games Declared Off on Ac- count of the Weather. President Cappel of the Association Foot- ball League announced late yesterday evening that, owing to the extreme cold weather, the games scheduled for this afternoon at Sportsman's Park had been postponed. The games were to have been between the St. Teresas, now the West End Club, and the Cycling Club. The Shamrocks and the Ca lis. onaner Kinsella of the @Mtst End Club says that the games will be played next Sunday afternoon in place of the ones scheduled on that date. This will neces- sitate a lengthening of the season by one week, making it close on March 19. On that date the football championship of St. Louls will be determined by the last contest be- tween the Shamrocks and the West Ends, —_—_¢—_— TO PLAY CHESS IN ENGLAND.

Brooke Refuses Them e@ Po- . sition in the Cortege Between Him and His Staff. HAVANA, Feb. 11.—The late Gen. Calixto Garcia was buried to-day without the presence of a single uniformed comrade in arms. Immense throngs of his compatri- ' ots pald honor to his memory, wondering _@s the long procession passed through the ‘ gtreets of Havana where the Cuban sol- diers were, The townspeople learned after the fu- neral that the Cuban Generals had a dis- pute with Governor-General Brooke's _ staff over the question of precedence, and had withdrawn in anger, ordering 150 other , Officers and 200 privates out of the lines. The members of the Cuban Assembly also ' withdrew, and it is understood that two of the members of Gen. Brooke's advisory council, Senor Lanuza, Secretary, of Jus- tice and Public Instruction, and Senor Do- mingo M, Capote, Secretary of Government, took the view held by the. Cuban Generals, and retired from the procession. Senor Lanuza, who was to deliver the eulogy over the body of Gen, Garcia, failed to carry out the programme, The whole city is talking of the affair. ‘The Cuban Generals and many prominent per- eons in Havana held a session to-night to discuss what course to pursue. It is prob- that an appeui will be made to is belleved, how- understand controversy extreme ever, that when the Cubans thoroughly the point of the they will modify their present feeling against the Americans, When. Gen. Brooke and his mounted staff, with the escort of troops from the Seventh Cavalry, reached the palace, the Governor-General was informed that his carriage was to go immediately after the casket. He suggested that the chief mourners should be Gen, Garcia's two sons. Consequentiy, they and two friends occu- led a carriage, separated from the coffin y the priests dn foot. : After the sons came Governor-General Brooke, with Gens. Chaffee and Hum- phrey and Col. Richards of the Governor- General's staff in two carriages. The Governor-General’s mounted staff, : consisting of ten or twelve horsemen, was closing in behind Gen, Brooke's party, when the point was raised by the Cuban generals and the members of the Cuban Military Assembly that they ought to be next to Governor-General Brooke, and that his mounted staff and * escorting troops should come after them. Gen. Brooke's position was that a general and his staff could not be separated, and Gen, Chafilee directed the mounted staff*to stay with Gen, Brooke. The Cuban generals aver that an Ameri- can officer ordered them out of line. ‘Whether they were actually ordered out of Tine or not, they were informed that they mitet not march between the Governor- Geh al and his steff. The Cuban com- manders in carriages and on horseback then withdrew. Among them were Gens. Rodriguez, Julio Sanguilly, Rafael Portu- ondo, Mario Menocal, E. Ducasse, Freyo, Andrade, Abeleno, Rosas, Arnando and Rivas. é The crowd near by cried “Viva Cuba, “Viva Aguinaldo,” “Viva Filipinos’ and “Down with the Yankees.”’ The artillery caisson with the casket then started on and some officers on foot at- tempted to get in line between Gen. Brooke and his staff, but were crowded out by horsemen who closed upon the carriages. Ten blocks away in Central Park, a party of Cuban soldiers on foot formed on either @ide of the street, and when the casket reached the point at which they were st@nd- ing they fell in and marched on either side of the caisson. No one interfered with them, but after marching a mile they drop- ped out 80 as not to be present at the ceremony. The Cubans assert that Gen, Brooke wished to put them in the rear of the cavalry escort, but this Is not the case. As the place assigned the Cubans was not occupied, however, the cavalry escort of aoe Sanreener General closed up behind his aetaff. SUIT AGAINST THE PANHANDLE Minority Stockholders of the Boad In- stitute Action in the Pennsyl- vania Courts Involving , $8,000,000. . Epecia, to the Post-Dispatch, PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb, 11.—Maurice Berger of New York City, in the interest of the minority stockholders of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad, began a suit against that company here to-day in which $8,000,000 is involved. The sult is really against the Pennsylvania Railroad, which owns a controlling inter- est in and elects the Board of Directors of the Panhandle. Many of the minority stockholders will join in Mr. Berger’s eomplaint, which avers that, while the Panhandle has been earn- ing much money each year, the directors have been paying no dividends to the Stockholders, but instead have used the -@arnings for improving the property. It was these minority holders that forced the boom in Panhandle a few weeks ago. F. D, Carley, a New York broker, had for Several months been buying and advocat- ing the purchase of this stock. It was thought that the Pennsylvania company realizing that annoying lawsuits were likely to come undertook to buy in this stock on the Exchange. As a result the prices Jumped amazingly, and Carley alone is eaid to have made $1,500,000. IAN M’LAREN COMING. Sailed From Liverpool Last Wednes- day for America. Special Cabic to the Cfost-Dispatch.

IT IS IN SAMPSON’S FAVOR. Says Schley Was Unsteady, Failed to Obey Orders, but Is a Gal- lant Fighter. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—Secretary Long has sent to the Senate an exhaustive re- port In reply to a@ resolution recently passed by that body cailing upon the Navy De- partment for records in its possession upon which the nominations of Admirals Samp- son and Schley to their present grades were based. The resolution was passed in executive session. Secretary Long goes into the naval history of the Spanish war at great length, citing orders, movements and all details which preceeded the battle of July 3. In summing up these facts and citing the reasons for the advancement of Schiey and Sampson, he says: “The advancement of Admiral Sampson was proposed in recognition of hig services in the execution of his duties as com- mander-in-chief of all our ships engaged in the campaign in the West Indies: for the supervision of all its details, wherever distributed; for the blockade of the island of Cuba; for the conveying and landing of the army and co-operation with its move- ments, and for the pursuit, blockade and destruction of the Spanish fleet, which de- struction, on the 3d of July, by our fleet under his command was the consummation of his orders and preparations beginning on the first day of June. In this connec- tion, the dispatch of Commodore Schley, dated July 10, is a pertinent fact. “The advancement of Commodore Schley was proposed in recognition of his services as next in rank at the victory of Santiago. Where so much was achieved in this cul- minating battle, and where his ship was such a conspicuous force in the fight, his conduct while independent in command prior to June 1, the report of which had been given above and which, by reason of his unsteadinere in purpose and failure to obey orders, did not meet with the ap- proval of the President, the department was yet not permitted to gtand-in the way of his nomination for promotion to a higher grade for the part he took in that final triumph. ‘In this connection a pertinent fact is the letter of Admiral Sampson, in which while not overlooking Commodore Schley’s reprehensible conduct, as above referred to, he asks that ample justice be done him for his part in the action of July 3. “It ie Just to both these officers to say that each of them was selected for his command in the war without solicitation or suggestion on the part of himself or any one on his behalf. The head of the department, under the approval .of the President, is responsible for these selec- tions, which were made in the exigencies of the war situation and in the exercise of the department’s discretion in the assign- ment of officers, which is authorized by law. This discretion was exercised solely with a view to the best interests of the public service, whether wisely or not, re- sults show.”’ WILL FEED THE CHILDREN. The Salvation Army Has a Plan to Make the Poor Remember George Washington’s Day. The Salvation Army of St. Louls will feed 20 poor children on Washington's birth- day. Brigadier James Toft and his staff, who have headquarters in room 702 Burlington building, set the ball rolling Saturday night on reading of the cases of distress, many of which come under the observation of the Salvationists day after day. Ensign W. A. and Mrs. Kauffman, who recently came here from Des Moines, Io., are to give their entire time to the under- taking, and details of soldiers will assist them in making a canvass of the business community. “We would like to give fruit, candy and nuts to our guests that day, and to give each one geome article of clothing to carry away,” said Ensign Kauffman, ‘‘We mean to inculcate lessoys of patriotism and civic pride in these young people—lessons that the day we will celebrate will call forth. Entertaining speakers will be secured if possible, but first we must get the means for the feast.’’ At present the army maintains corps at 1416 Franklin av., No. 1; 907 Market st., No. 2: the new slum corps to be in O'Fallon st..

We make a specialty of furnaces and re- s Ts RICHIE: AND JOHNSON, tisfaction THEY FOUGHT FIFTEEN LIVELY ROUNDS IN WEST END OLUB. ST. LOUIS BOY GOT DECISION, In the Battle Between Cotton Dieters and Willie Regan Honors Were Declared Even. The first of the Saturday night boxing en- tertainments to be given by the West End Club was brought off last evening before a well-filled house. Dave Nelson acted as master of cere- monies and Joe Stewart was the official referee, The Lexow Committee was represented in the gathering, and the gentlemen from the rural districts appeared immensely pleased with the exhibition put up by Richie and Johnson. This was Richie’s first appearance in the ring eince the days of the old Pastime Club, when he was the cock of the walk among the 115-pound men He appeared to have improved wonder- fully. Indeed, the Richie of last night car- ried himself like a fixhter of the first class. In the first round John Henry Johnson landed the St: Louis boy one on the side of the head that nearly sent him to the land of Nod, but despite that- bad begin- ning Richie kept steadily to his task and at the end was rightfully awarded the de- cision. Cotton Dieters and Willie Regan fought 10 rounds as a curtain-raiser. The boys were game, and gave each other a hard rapping. At the close Referee Stewart de- cided that honors were easy and called it adraw. His decision was endorsed by the professionals present as well as by all but the friends of either contestant, each be- ieving their man had had the best of it. Then Johnnie Richie of St. Louls and John Henry Johnson of Philadelphia came into the ring. The official announcer said that Richie weighed 120 to Johnson's 118. Steve Flanagan of Philadelphia was Richie’s adviser, while Frank Lewis and Brownlow Sexton seconded Johnson. In the first round the men sparred cau- tiously for a moment and the crowd shouted to them to go in and fight. Then they commenced to mix it in Hvely style. Richie driving for the head and Johnson landing hard on the wind. When the round Was'‘two-thirds over Johnson landed a beauty bright with his right and there were cries of surprise as Richie fell full length in the middle of the ring and stayed down the full ten seconds. When ne arose the two exchanged half a dozen blows when the gong sounded for the close of the round, Then there were cheers for Johnson. Richie in the second round was a trifle cautious, but after a moment's suspense he commenced operations, landing With right and left on Johnson’s head. Johnson: led —" times, but failed to do much dam- e. In the third round there was a lively ex- change, and Richie rapped Johnson harder than the latter rapped him. In the fourth Richie made play with right and left, Jjabbed Johnson early and often, and the round ended with the claret show- ing on John Henry’s lips. The fifth was a rattling round, the two coming together at short range, Richie landing on the head repeatedly and John- son countering on the body. In the latter part of the round there was a terrific ex- change, and Johnson gave as good as was sent. The round came to a close with Richie hammering blow after blow .on Johnson and trying to put him out. At last Richie landed on the side of Johnson’s head with his might. John Henry went down, -but while the referee was counting the sec- onds the gong sounded. In the sixth, Johnson came to the scratch none the worse off for the treat- ment he had received in the previous round. Richie’s rapid work had now com- menced to tell and his blows lacked steam. Johnson, on the other hand, showed great recuperative power, came to the scratch like a good-fellow and the round ended with honors easy. In the seventh and eighth there was a rapid exchange, and Richie repeatedly tried to end the mill, but again his blows lacked steam. In the ninth both slowed up, and in the tenth honors were even. From the eleventh to the fifteenth round Richie forced matters and had all the best of it, but Johnson was cheered repeatedly for his clever ducking and for the way he took his gruel. The fifteenth and last round ended with Richie rushing his man to the ropes and trying to put him out. At the close of the fifteenth and last round the referee decided the contest in favor of Richie for the reason that he had outpointed his opponent and outfought him. The decision was cheered by all. TELEGRAMS TO BE CHEAPER. Tolls Between the United States and Cuba Ordered Reduced. CHICAGO, IIL, Feb. 11.—Owing to the large increase of American business inter- ests in Cuba and Porto Rico, and the con- sequent increase in telegraph business, a radical reduction in tolls between the United States and the islands is to be made this month. After Feb. 15 the rate from all Western, Union offices in the United States east of the Mississippi River, including St. Louls and Galveston, to Ha- vana will be 25 cents a word, instead of 40 cents, as at present. From points west of the Mississippi the rate to Havana will be 35 cents a word, in- stead of 50 cents, as at present. The rate from points east of the Mississippi River, including St. Louls and Galveston, to Porto Rico will be 75 cents a word, instead of $1.17, and from all offices west of the Mississippi River in the United States and British Columbia to Porto Rico will be 8&5 cents a word, instead of $1.27, as at pres- ent. Rates between Cuban cities will also be reduced. Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup is recog- nized asthe greatest lung remedy. Price 25c. Theater Burned in Providence, RB. I. PROVIDENCE, R.

LOANS A PROMINENT FEATURE. Agents’ Reports of Sales—Many Trans- fers in the County—Leading Transfers of the Week. It need hardly be said that the kind of weather which St. Louis and the country has been enduring for weeks past is not conducive to the sale of real estate. In spite of the difficulties, however, some transactions have been completed, and some agents who have found times dull for months past have suddenly felt much en- couraged with the mid-winter revival in their offices. The loanemarket is fairly active. No mat- ter what the weather, if a man ¢an use money profitably, he will seek it where it can be borrowed. There is a striking contrast In the rates of interest as one looks over the records in St. Louis and New York. In St. Louis the ma- jority of notes bear 6 per cent, many 6, and occasionally there is one still lower. But the 6 per cent meets the eye constantly. In the New York list it is never seen. The most common rate is 56, 4% -is frequently met with, and 4 is not uncommon. Last week there was one loan made at 3% per cent. It attracted much attention among New York real estate men. Advices from Jefferson City indicate that by far the most interesting debate in the Legislature so far this session was that held Thursday in the House, which pre- ceded the negative vote by a minority of 8, on Mr. Whitecotton’s bill to reduce the legal rate of interest from 8 to 6 per cent. The country bankers were the principal op- ponents, 8 per cent being a common rate of discount in the agricultural sections. In fact many bankers claimed that 8 per cent was as low as they could afford to discount, and it was mainly their opposition haber prevented the reduction from being made. On the Committee of ‘wo Hundred. That excellent selections from real estate agents were made in Mr. F. J. Wade and Judge John H. Terry for membership on the Committee of Two Hundred goes with- out eaying. The.criticism heard is of quantity, not quality. Many agents think that, considering the Interests in the Ex- position which realty and realty agents will have, the latter might well have been more numerously represented on the com- mittee. But as the duties of the position will be really onerous and the responsibil- ities ‘great—for if the Fair should prove unsuccessful the blame will fall on the shoulders of the committee—each cr'tic thinks that some one besides himself should have been included in the additional mem. bers. Taking everything into consideration, however, the real estate fraternity ig well pleased with the representation on the com- mittee, Electric Road to St. Charles. The great number of transfers in the county last week to Mr. J. D. Houseman, Jr., are of property which gives a private right of way for the proposed electric road which he is promoting to run from Wells- ton, at the city limits, to St. Charles. To a representative of the Sunday Post-Dis- patch Mr. Houseman sa‘d that his com- pany was now actually building the road: that it had already secured, by deed, more than 22,000 feet of private right of way, and that it had about as much more prom- ised by responsible owners, from whom the deeds will unquestionably be obtained; and that these, with right of way on the St. Charles rock road already acquired, would give a complete right of way to the Missouri! River. Mr. Houseman spoke very encouragingly of the situation, and from his view the road will be in operation within a reason- able time. Schollmeyer-Leahy.

LARGE SUMS OF MONEY RAISED. PLANS FOR THE BUILDINGS ALL | APPROVED YESTERDAY. Munificent Gifts by Messrs. Robert 8. Brookings, Samuel Cupples, Adolphus Busch an“ Othere. The Board of Directors of the Washing- ton University yesterday announced that having secured the necessary instruction, or working buildings, to enabic them to remove to thelr new site, facing Fores: Park, work will be commenced th's spring, aS goon as the necessary plans have been approved. While the quadrangies wili be of such size as to admit of practically un- limited future growth, and the buildings to be erected will be designed with jh.s in View. ali that at present required four working buildings, cormsisting of: Yirst—A Lecture or Recitation building, usually known ag the Hall of Languages, Which will be in this group. the principal diliding, and will cost $200,000 Mr. Robert 6. Brookings donating it to the Univers.ty. Second—An Engineering building, devoted to the several schools of engineering an. architecture, which will cost, porfectly cquipped, about $15,000 and wil be given to the University by Mr. Samvel Cupplez. Third—A Chemistry building, which wil {s be fully equipped at a cost of about $100,-° 060 and given to the University by Mr. Adolphus Busch. Fourth—The Library hullding, which will cost about $100,000, to be built with a fund now in the hands of the University for that purpose, bequeathed to it by the late Stephen Ridgely. In addition to these buildings, which wi!! ail front the first quadrangle, there wil! be required two dormitories, one for men and for women, and a gymnasium ating the second or residential quad- rangle. These latter bulldihgs can be made as inexpensive or costly as the friends of the University, who are expected to con- tribute them, may elect. They do not necessarily involve so much money as to further delay the erection of buildings al- ready secured, and the Board of Directors a@re confident they will be able to an- nounce their receipt before work is com- menced this spring on the others. There are really only two recognized pure types of architecture suitable for edu- cational purposes—the classic and Gothic. The former, which nas been adopted by Columbia College and the College of the City of New York, has the advantage of light and adaptability to floor plans. The latter, with its mullioned windows. and towers, is most impressive and pr ly best adapted for residential or dor y purposes, ‘Beveral of the best known architects of this and Eastern cities will be requested to submit plans covering one or both of these designs for the buildings already secured, and for the two dormitories and gymna- sium. One of the cuts above shown is a classical study for the matin building, An- Other shows the group of four on the firry quadrangle. The fine Gothic building is Blair Hall, a dormitory recently erected ut Princeton University (Cope & Steward- eon, Philadelphia, architects), and is one of the finest examples of what can be done in this direction. Its cost was $160,000. In addition. to the increased endowment the University will receive from the gale of its property, on Seventeenth st. and Washington av., the directors announce that it je necessary to immediately raise for that fund, by popular’ subscription ‘(similar to that so freely and promptly one is ; Board of Direct feel confident these same public-spirit citizens will double their site fund subscription without hes!- tation, and committees have been appoint- ed to carry thig into effect without delay; besides which, many citizens who did not contribute to the site fund will without doubt ghow their appreciation of the gen- erous effort now being made by the friends of the University by libera! contributions The new buildings and equipment, with the tncrensed endowment, wll place the University on a thoroughly permanent ba- and if it eoentinues to prosper during the next ten years aa it haa in the past three, it will at that time rank with the great upiversities of the country. As a@ population grows in wealth, Iintel- ligecrce and benevolence, onc of thé most difficult problems thos: who wish to bene- fit their less fortunate fellows have to solve “how it.” A study of many of sentimenta! charities only too often a's #.S, to de tbe | brings them face to taco with their discour- agicg, pauperizing influences and they turn at last to higher educetion. You cannot make knowledge too accessible. You can- not pauperize the intellect. In the college, the schools of ecience and eng'neering and in the fleid of investigation, every dollar expended bears fruit of the best kind only. which in ite ramifications confers untold benefit upon humanity. St. Louls citizens, like those of Boston, New York, Balt'more. Philadeiphia and Chicago, have surely awakened to a knowledge of this fact and we may look hereafte: for the same out- spoken regret whenever a rich man or great uttiversity, but after the fullest in- vestigation, he became convinced it would fail In its greatest opportunities If it were not located in the center of a large pop- ulation; hence Chicago was selected in- stead, and now enjoys the benefit of his benevolence, her public spirited citizens amply seconding him in the development of the Chicago University. Baltimore has its Johns Hopkins Univer- sity, Philadelphia the University of Penn- sylvania, New York ita Columbia, Boston its Harvard, Chicago its University of Chi- cago and St. Louis, the fourth city of this country tn population, is not to be left be- hind in the race for that which marks a community and stands for more in the eyes of the world than all else—education. In the near future the Washington Uni- versity will be drawing its students from the intellectual strength of the rapidly de- veloping West and Southwest. Many of them will remain in this, the metropolis, and those that return will assist in welding the chains of commercial reciprocity with the clty of their Alma Mater. The Wash- ington University, with its many echools or departments, now numbers intits faculty or teaching staff 185 men and women. In the strides it is now taking this will soon be largely increased. Few of our people under- stand or appreciate what this means to the city. These men and women create, main- tain and diffuse the best thought and in- fluence. It is simply impossible to over- estimate their value to the community.

It embodies to him all that is sweetest and best in life. It is the one secret, cher- ished touch of ideality in the dull prose of his life. James L. Flood of San Francisco and s80n of James Flood, the bonanza king, has married Miss Maude L. Fritz of Kansas City, Mo., the daughter of an hum le carpenter and sister.of his dead wife, because she is like the image in his heart. She was poor, and he has wreathed her with diamonds, loaded her with yrecious jewels and clothed her with royal robes. All her life she has lived in the little home of her humble father at Kansas City surrounded with fts scanty comforts, and he has made F VERY MAN has enshrined in his her the queen of his great house and its millions. James L. Flood thoroughly conforms to that inheritance of characteristics of which all is said in the old qualifying ex- pression, ‘‘He’s a chip of the old block.” His father, James C. Flood, was of South of Ireland stock, democratic, indomit- able, keen-witted and generous. He went to California a poor miner, dug the nucleus of a fortune out of the new mines and by hard work and business skill builded upon it until he became one of the “Big Four” of the slope in part- nership with John W. Mackay. In time he became Worth a score of millions, but he was still the gruff-spoken, hard- handed, big-hearted man his friends had known when he was a poor miner, and he never once lessened his fealty for those who had been empanions ani — aie, vs The ba belt from a* Sovvenir.

He gave to them liberally of his wealth, and upon one occasion he went to Ireland to succor a friend who had in youth worked with him as a wheelwright. The unfor- tunate fellow was in distress and need, and Flood gave outright to him $35,000 in-cash, quarreling with him for the first time when the wheelwright stammered his thanks. “Stop it, man; stop it!’ growled the miner. “I'll never forgive ye if ye speak on it again.”’ And not all of the democracy of James L. Flood is from his father. His mother had almost a contempt for gold. “What does it matter how much money a man has?” she would say. “A man’s a man for all that.”” When her husband died she declared her share of his vast es- tate too great and divided it with her son and daughter. These democratic characteristics were fully inherited by the younger Flood. He is rich to the extent of ten millions of dollars or more, but his tastes are ex- ceedingly moderate. He has never sought to hob-nob with royalty or wealth. He could have lionized the best society of the coast, but cared nothing for society, and now, when he is 40 and all his life in possession of the open sesame of society, it is said of him that he has never been seen at a formal so- cial function. “My idea of wealth is that it should enable a man to do as he pleases,’ he says. “It has pleased me to stay out of society, and it pleases me still.” He has nothing to do but admin- ister the affairs of his great estate and travel, and to these he devotes his life. Twelve years ago Rose Fritz began a career on the stage. She was a Kansas City girl, a member of a family of hum- ble lot, and she was beautiful as few women are beautiful. In the course of her travels she met young Flood, and he loved her just as he did everything else he chose to do—with his whole heart. There was a deal of joy and a touch of consternation in the little home of honest John Fritz when the good parents learned that Rose had plighted Ser love to a man worth ten millions of dollars. It had never happened to the good folk before or to any whom they knew, and the carpenter was not sure he had heard it aright, for Rose, for all her beauty— and home folk are not all-seeing of that —was not a girl of high caste and rich kinfolk such as a millionaire’s social position must demand that he choose for his bride. But the good man had heard aright, for the millionaire eame for Rose; and that which he asked of the carpenter and his wife not all his wealth could have bought had he not impressed them with being a good man and true and deserving of the girl because of his manly worth. The young people were married the next year, and Maude Fritz, then a girl of nine, was a flower girl at her sister's wedding. There are old saws and foreboding prophets to affirm that a man of Mil- lionaire Flood’s station cannot go so far out of his environment for his bride as Flood went for Rose Fritz and find great happiness for his home, but all saws saw the wrong way in the affairs of James L. Flood. His wife became famed asa beautiful woman, and his pride in her gave him much happiness. She sym- pathized with him in his desire to avoid the glamor of society; she assisted hiin in his charities and enjoyed as much as he their mutual companionship upon ago Mrs. Flood died. She had been ill several months, but even then her death was in a degree unexpected and a shock tf her husband and their friends, She left a little daughter of six years. In the days when the heart of James L. Flood was fullest with happiness and hi home with happy doings Miss Maude Fritz, his wife’s sister, was a frequent visitor there. She had grown from the slip of a girl whom the millionaire had met at his wedding to be a young woman wondrcusly like his wife when he met her. Maude was not so singularly pret- ty as Mrs. Flood and gave no promise of being ever, but the sweetness of feature, the tender sympathy glowing in the eyes and the long, light hair reminded him of no one so much as his wife. They were very fond of Maude at the Flood home, and the millionaire and his wife extend- ed to her such splendid kindnesses as their wealth permitted them to proffer. When Mrs. Flood died people hastened to predict that her sister would be chosen to take her place. “She is just like her sister,” they said, “and it will seem lke having her back again to have her in his home.” And it was not so very hard to guess who would be the second Mrs. Flood, for their friends one day had heard him tell his wife that ‘‘Maude looks just as you did on our wedding day,” and he had evidenced his pride in her by naming his yacht and his finest horse in her honor. And, moreover, they had sympathized to- gether in their mutual loss and taken, with scme of Miss Fritz’ people, a trip to Japan. So there was not the least surprise any® where when Flood and his sister-in-law announced their engagement. it con- formed with every expectation, not even omitting the ! millionaire’s democratic Justis THE GROOM. habit of choosing a poor girl for his bride. The wedding of the second of the Fritz girls to James L. Flood occurred at the Fritz home in Kansas City last Wednes- day. It was a little wedding in point of the number of people there, but it was such a wedding as Kansas City had not known, for the home was decorated with rarest flowers and the bride wore jewels worth almost $200,000. They were gifts from the groom. Chief among then was a magnificent tiara of diamonds and pearls, his gift to her Christmas. It is set with seven great pearls, cream white and perfectly matched. The center of the base is a pure white, seven-kKarat diamond, and around it are grouped 125 other diamonds, none weighing less than half a karat and many twice and three times as large as this. A trefoil prong and golden hairpins and chains attached the creation to the bride’s hair. The groom's bridal gift, worn in the corsage, is a rare combination of jewels. It is a pin pendant somewhat the shape of the fleur-de-lis. The ground is en- crusted with large white diamonds, and in each of the trefoilates is set a great pearl, while a larger, pear-shaped pearl hangs from the base. The pearls are black, each of a different shade, found only in East Indian waters, and the largest is famed among jewelers as “the storm cloud.” The belt confining the bridal gown is strung with hundreds of pearls caught up in places with wide bands of turquoises. Each of these pearls is the size of a pea. In addition to these the bride received many presents from friends and relatives of her hus- band, chief among them are a $1000 dia- mond necklace from the groom’s sister, Miss Jennie Flood; a $400 Chinese gold belt from the groom, and a jewel gift from the Mackays, with whom ‘the family fortunes were made. the jewels possessed by Mrs. Flood are : such as the Queen of Sheba had not to — 3 offer Solomon nor Queen Isabella to sell for the discovery of the east shore of Asia. the wedding, Mrs. Lynn Stanton Bank: who sang, and Miss Frances Lillis, who | was maid of honor, were given souvenirs which would have made happy the of many a bride.

Far more romantic, however, than the in- comes from long settled heritages can ever be is the origin of the greatef portion of Her Majesty's great wealth. On Aug. 30, 1852, there died a penurfous old gentleman of 72 named John Camden Neild. He was the son of a goldsmith, who had executed work for George III., and kept a shop in St. James street. The old jeweler was, in his way, a great philanthropist, and emulated Howard in his attempts to amel- ioriate the condition of those poor wretches who languished in his Majesty’s prisons, He sent his son to Trinity College, Cam- bridge, and the bar, and at his death left him £250,000. This great sum John Camden Neild saved and invested, living himself in a most miserly fashion. When his will was opened it was found that with the exception of a few legacies he had left his fortune of £900,000 to “Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, begging her Majesty’s most gracious acceptance of the same, for her sole use and benefit and that of her heirs.” The Queen sought out Neild’s relatives and gave them £1000 each and raised a monu- ment to his memc®y. This splendid sum her Majesty has left practically untouched and it must now have accumulated to fi,- 000,000. The Queen also inherited from her husband, who was of a most careful and businesslike disposition, a large part of the £600,000 he left behind him. } It was in her comparatively poor days wry Ag Sead Seee™ “eee tecedtegs, ok BK OO x) \ MOY * ROR ERED ¢ id \ ie ane lu WR pes. il originally hoped to buy Norris castle, also in the Isle of Wight, where she had stayed in her childhood, but was obliged to give it up as she said she “could not afford it.” A little later Balmoral was bought and the castle built. Both these private properties of the Queen have been added to very largely from time to time and their value is yearly increasing. Osborne is now reck- oned as being five times as valuable as when it was purchased in 1881 when, by ad- vice of Lord Croes, Lord Sidney and the late Sir Arnold White (her solicitor) she bought outright some property for £78,000. The market value of that purchase is now reckoned at £170,000. ——— enna —— eens A NEW ORLEANS PAINTER. © as A We A a oe Mn Hi i ik AM: Pon HAA | i i Nl | i ul uh 3 : tT 1H i Hi} ih! bet | } HU if ui ——- — : —=_ eteiliptosnnaginte-aeeetemetngee cere eames coe -_ a iH siti | ! : i f MH ith Hil i i ee “4 my rer ’ Hi sit AT a Hut ANT GH i i wide HALT BT LE se BM a Ti .

The hair, being a part of the cuticle or outer enveloping surface of the body, very accurately indicates the general condition of the system. Harsh, scanty hair, crisp, brittle finger nails, and rough, diseased skin, all point to internal disorders and are not affected by external applications ex- cept as they are supplemented by the task of getting the system up to par. Brushing the hair, massaging the roots, shampooing and other external treatments should: be regulated by the condition of the hair. Some hair will not endure prushing; for other hair it is the best of tonics. Frequent washing is good for oily hair; dry hair should not be too frequently washed. Some, but not all, dermatologists recommend rubbing clear, cold water into the roots of the hair. Cold water by many authorities is con- sidered the best tonic for the entire cutl- cle. It almost always will fatten and de- velop the thinnest skin and cause a healthy circulation in the _ thick, sluggish skin which resists all other treatments, An eminent “beauty doctor” says that the cold bath might be fitly called the bath of te SS, 7 a Nl Reta, Cae . ‘beauty, so essential is it im preserving a * Ps ‘ i $ Per Boe me ee ia 8 — ¥ v4 a clearer skin than can be had by any other method. Plain food, exercise and cleanliness are essential to beauty as they are to health, Baldness seldom occurs among people who have thick hair and skins, It is the distinguishing characteristic of thin, scanty hair and thin skin. So long as the hair cells are alive the hair that is in poor condition may be benefited greatly by proper treatment. When the hair cells are once dead there is no way of making hair grow again. Dandruff is merely dried scales of the skin of the head, and only exists where the scalp is dirty or unhealthy. When the hair is thin, soft, fine and comes out easily it should be brushed very lightly if at all. It should, however, be loosened and lifted with the fingers each night before retiring, and the scalp should be gently massaged or rubbed softly with the tips of the fingers. One of the very best applications for dry hair and hair that is thinning is vase- line.

HAVE been a consumptive, affected with acute phthisis, and yet have been perfectly cured by the rational treatment which I will try to explain, says James Arthur Gibson, in the Nineteenth Century for January. In the summer of 1895 I completely broke down in health. I was at that time 28 years of age. I must have been ill for some very considerable time—perhaps 18 months or two years—without realizing the cause of my exceseive languor and Weakness. I was examined by Drs. A. B.

I was ordered to stop work and go in the country to live and to have complete rest. No one, myself least of all, ever expected to see me well again. When I had been three months in the country @ friend advised me to go to Nordrach, in the Black Forest of Germany. : I decided to give Nordrach a trial. Nordrach early in October, 1895. The outstanding feature of the treatment at the nitarium I found to be: Over-feeding. Dr. alther holds: that there can be no cure without weight-gaining. He carries this to its logical conclusion, and stuffs his patients to their ut- most capacity. It is amezing the amount one can eat when _forced to it—twice or three times as one would feel inclined to eat. There is no harshness used, buz somehow the doctor is able to make every one eat the amount necessary. The food is of the ordinary kind, but consists of plenty of milk, fats of all kinds, meats, potatoes, vegetab:es, but- ter, bread, cheese, fruits, sweets, etc. The gain in weight is often enormous.

REGARD the overshoe as one of the most dangerous inventions of civilization, I al- ways advise my patients never to resort to .t. My antipathy to it is founded upon the danger- ous results that usually follow the wear:ng of it. If the overshoe were worn constantly thero would be no objection to it, save in the incon- ven'ence that it would cause the wearer. But therein lies the trouble. It must be worn con- stantly or not worn at all if health is to be pre- served. If a person wear overshoes one hour and throw them aside the next, the resuit will disastrous to that person’s health. Colds will | contracted and may develop into dangerous dis- eases. T'he case is identical with that of the man who wear woolen underwear one day and cotton the next. To put on one’s overshoes is not al- Ways convenient, and the temptations and oppor- tunities to be reni’ss in this duty are so fre- quent that one will sometimes yield to them. Then the damage is done. The only way in which trouble may be avoided is in avoiding overs2ocs altogether. DISEASE FROM VEGETABLES. : By Dr. W. F. Francis. PROLIFIC source of bad health at this sea- A son is the custom which prevails of stor- ing vegetables for the winter in the celiats of residences. Many a case of malignant typhus can be traced directly to this practice. Where vegetables are so kept they should be in a separate compartment, having a ventilator con- nected with the outer air, either through a win- dow or a chimney piece. The latter is better. Even when this precaution ts taken the greates' care should be exercised in keeping the apartment clean, All vegetables showing the least signs of decay should be removed daily. The air which permeates a house starts from the ground, anda considerable portion of it comes from the ceilar. If the floor of that cellar is covered with organic matter the air cannot be healthful. Although it may be very weli ventilated, a house in waose cellar vegetables are kept. during the winter can- not be a perfectly healtfal place to live. Many persons who suffer with: malarial symptoms at this time of year and are at a loss to account for it, will tind the origin’ of their trouble in this habit of mistaken economy. ——— CHILBLAINS HE Indian Lancet says: C.

They do not cure. In the dissecting room I have seen subjects in which was a sma!! cicatr!x or scar on the lung. Baciili had begun to work, but had been checked. This, in all propabllity. was not due to medicine, as the existence of these cicatrixes are hard to d's- cover, except in post-mortems or on the discect- ing table. No doubt many people are walking the streets with these scars on their lungs and are not aware of it. because the progress of the tubercular bacilli has been stopped. The nective tissue is repaired by nature. When a cavity of some dimens'‘on exists in the lungs complete cure is hardly possibie. The medical profession can prolong life and parily check the waste, but as a rule death results in time. there Cone NEURASTHENIA, By Dr. C. A. Newcomb.

It was also proved in the case of a man who fasted for 30 days, using only water, tirat the source of his strength whereby he was enub-ed to perform his remarkable feat, was due to the fact that the water he drank was strongly hapregnated with saccharine substance.

OTHING requires more prompt attention N than a severe burn, and no form of acci- dent is so common. The pain is always in- tense, no matter how slight a surface is covered by the burn, and even though the burn may not be serious, it should be treated. promptly in order tu allay the pain. A burn does not need to be deep to be serious. If one-third of the entire surface of the body is burned it is extremely serious, and if one-half ithe body is burned the chances are that the per- sun burned beyond the surgeon’s power. The skin is a powerful factor in the body’s scheme. When half of it is destroyed the person cannot perspire and throw off the impurities that must find their way out through the sweat glands. In case of a burn, either by fire, steam or hot water, a mixture of boiled linseed oil and lime- water, in equal parts, should be used. This should be Lterally poured on and bandaged tightly and the air excluded. The bandages should be thor- oughly saturated with the mixture. This done, the family physician should be called. Blood pois- oning or ervsipelas will likely develop unless proner treatment is accorded, and what may ap- pear at first a trivial burn may develop into the most serious case.

Wrinkles can be helped by feeding the skin. They can, be removed by skin spe- cislists, who take off the skin of the face and charge goodiy eums for doing so. They can be prevented to a large extent by judicious care of the skin. Prevention is eas-er and much cheaper than cure. APPENDICITIS OPERATIONS. By Dr. J. L. Perryman. HAVE never been compelled to operate for ay pendicttis. The operation, as performed by others, is generally successful enough, but the patient nearly always dies. It was reported in the papers last. week that the Mexican Am- lassador, Romero, had been the victim of one of these successful operations and his body was laid away in a vault at Washington to await its re- mova! to Mexico. The operation ia more dangerous than the dis- ease, The practice of operating is barbarous and ovght to be abandoned, Dr. Hutton of New York City says he can re- call a hundred cases treated for symptoms of the malady, but has never met a case in which he felt it was his duty to cut or which terminated fatally. Another practitioner has treated suc- cesefully 49 out of 51 cases.

One who has good eyes and puts glasses before them is sure to reap the bitter fruits ot one’s fol'y. It matters not for what purpose it is done, it will have the same effect in every case. The eyes will become adjusted to the glasses and one will eventually learn that it is impossibie to see without them. The testimony of all persone, who are compelled to wear glasses, is that they are inconvenient and unpleasant. Therefore, if one has a consideration for one ‘4 personal comfort, one will not attempt to wear 6pectacles unless they are needed. [There areé also the additional trouble and expense of chang- ing glasses every two or three years that they may always be suited to the weakening conditions of the eyes. And above all other considerations is the fact that the sight may be destroyed en- tirely by such tampering with the eyes. THE SEVEN SLEEPERS IN MODERN TIMES A MONG the cases of extraordinary sleepers is that of a young American who slept frown November, 1894, until the middie of January, 189%. a period of 38 months. He was engaged to be married to a girl, but his parents were strongly opposed to his choice of a wife. They persisted in their objection in spite.of everything he could urge, and the constant irritation at length affect- ed his brain. One day in a fit of ungovernable passion he shot and killed ‘both his father and mcther. He was. of course, arrested at once, for he did not attempt to run away or to hide the evi- dences of his crime. PRefore he could be brought to trial, however, he fell asleep, and asleep he remained for the time mentioned, scarcely ever getting awake at ail. When he finally did awake he remembered noth- ing of the crime he had committed, and nothing can convinee him that he had not been asleep onle a single night. It is impossible that he could have been shamming during all this time, and although it is difficult to prove that he does not know the terrible crime he committed, people believe the truth of his assertions. Whenever he is asked how oid he ie he always replies he is “i—the age when he first fell asleep. A short time ago the German medical papers recorded a case of a patient who was asleep and who had been sleeping for more than four months, France also shares with Germany the distinc- tion of having had recently a lineal descendant of the Seven Sleepers. He was a man who was ar- rested for being drunk and incapable. While walking along one of the chief streets in Paris two gendarmes suddenly saw him fall. They naturally pounced down upon him and took him to'the police station and put him into a cell. Next morning, however, he was still quietly sleeping on, and when a physician examined him no symptoms due to alcohol could be discovered, so he was sent to a hospital, where he continued to sleep undis- turbed for about a month, and at length awoke, presumably much refreshed. GRIP KILLS ANIMALS, IGHTY is the grip. Not satisfied with hav- ing harassed the inhabitants of Philadel- phia, it has attacked the dumb animals. Menrgrels in the streets are sneezing and cough- ing; household pets, cats and dogs alike, are con- sumec with burning fevers, and the wild beasts have lost their wildness and are quailing before the orslaughts of the mighty cold. At the Zoological Gardens the grip has wrought corsternation and havoc. Three of the finest ani- malz in captivity have died from it during the pas: week. Oid George, the handsomest lion, was first to pass in his checks. A red kangaroo fo!- a suit, and then a young zebra. Others are sick. George was said to be the finest specimen of the lion family in captivity. He came to the gardens June 13, 1882. from Nubia. He was then a cub about 1 year old. The kangaroo was also. widely known. She was berm in the gardens on February 2. 1888. Her parents came from Australia. She was of good size and always enjoyed the best of health. She contracted the grip two weeks ago and died after having several chills. The post-mortem revealed a badly congested lung, showing that pneumonia had set in. Her maiden name, for she never mar- ried, was Macropus Rufus. 3 On_ Wednesday afternoon a zebra, also born in the Zoo, died of the same ailment. The zebra was known ‘to but few, having been received into this world only about six months ago. , At the cat and dog hospitals are to be found a sickly lot of patients. A multitude of them, all with high fevers and quickened pulses, are tak- ing quinine pills and milk punches. In many homes cats which have hitherto made a continual practice of attending evening concerts are re- main:ng indoors, keeping close tq fires. Dogs also. Which have been fond of racing up and down the streets, are to be found huddled up in corners, pale, with glassy stares in ‘their eyes and with parched tongues. Andeso it is everywhere horses, cats and dogs and even canary birds. suf. fering with the self-same malady that has hit humanity under the belt and laid it low. EATING CANDY. [" 1S a pity that an article whose wise use gives so much pleasure and works so little harm ase does good candy should have been abused until it has become an evil, says a writer in Harper’s Bazaar. Some parents feel that to keep their children in health they must forbid them to eat candy at any time, while other parents permit it to be devoured in such quanti- ties that their ignorance can be their only ex- cuse for the sin of allowing such indulgence. Dentists and physicians unite in the opinion that pure candy, eaten in proper quantities and at proper times, can do a well child no harm. Good candy may be now procured from many@ealers, the purity of whose bonbons has justly won for them reputations. Let the mother buy these candies and portion them out to her little ones, a few at a time, and always right after a sub- stantial meal. One mother calls her boys and girls to her room every day after their simple but hearty noonday dinner and gives to each a few simple candies, such as cream peppermints, checolate creams and maple creams. Nut bon- bons are never allowed. The children are satis- fled with this method of taking their goodies, and teeth and digestion are not impaired by the prac- tice. Of course, if a child is not well the candy is not allowed, for this mother believes more in die: than in drugs. ST. LOUIS AND PURE WATER. By Dr. H. C. Fairbrother, East St. Louis. the most important sanftary ROBABLY P aestion before the people of St. Louis and East St. Louls is the question of water. As far as can be at present determined, the Mississ- ipp! River must be depended upon for water sup- ply; therefore the only problem is the manage- ment of this — in such a manner as to ob- é the best resuits. “ty is almost useless now to discuss the pros and cons of the Chicago sewage being emptied into the Mississippi, for that seems to be inevitabie. important question The effect of this \ eee and D ~ epee WF A. gente) ginal —_— Set Alt ag vrtwrser % = * ; cally purify it from sewage; but, by no means will this purify it of disease germs. These have been known to live for months and flow for hun- dreds of miles and remain bound in ice for an indefinite period. Therefore we can never again feel as safe on this srore as before this sewer was constructed. But this cannot be helped. The only thing for cities which receive their water supply from them is to adopt the very best means of purification. The only means used here now is by sedimenta- tion. This does very well to a certain extent; but in order for this to accomplish its’ object ample time should be allowed for the water in the settling reservoir. A few hours or a few days amount to nothing, and the water might just as well be pumped directly from the river, as it often Seems to be. Sooner or later we must come to 'the European plan of filtration. Even the smaller cities of Europe are required by law to furnish only filtered water, and this filtrate must first be accepted by the health officer. There is little trouble in filtering water on a large scale, and such is the great perfection now attained by theee filter beds that the water comes from them practically pure, not only of suspended matters and chemical impurities, but also of in- fectious germs. VACCINATION. By Dr. R. E. Wilson. A N important preventive of smallpox is vac- cination with cowpox. Sometimes the vac- cine virus is obtained directly from another human being—preferably from the scab taken from the arm of a healthy child. Persons thus inoculated are less susceptible to the emallpox pe.son. Dr. Jenner, an Englishman (1749-1823), was the first to observe that those infected by cCOWPOxX Were not afterward infected by smallpox patients. Hence he is regarded as the discoverer and sc.entific founder of ‘‘vaccination,” which word was derived from the operation that Dr. Jen- ner performed—a person taking smallpox, after being properly vaccinated, would be apt to have but a modined form of the disease, Known as — which is not attended with secondary ever, Vaccination should be performed at least twice in every individual—during infancy and at puberty. However, it is always safer to have it per- formed ,again whenever there is liable to be any exposure tq disease. lt is quite important that the nurse and mother should know what the appearance of the sore produced by vaccination should be during the various stages of its progress. When the vac- cination ‘“takes,’’ on the third day, a papule or small red. elevation appears upon the surface where the poison was introduced. On the sixth day this has become a vesicle, or blister, with a depression in the center. On the eighth day it has changed to a pustule, and the skin around it is greatly inflamed. ‘i‘ais red areola begins to fade on the tenth day and the pustule to dry, sv that by the fourteenth dav a brown crust has formed. is becomes detached about the twen- tv-third day™ The cicatrix, or scar, left by vac- cination is depressed and becomes paler, after a time, than the surrounding skin. During the development of the vaccination pus- tule there are likely to be constitutional dis- turbances, especially with little children—a gen- eral feeling of sickness, some feverishness, 1085S of appetite and constipation. With children who are not healthy, eczematous erupiion may develop, for which the vaccine virus is often unjustly held responsible. It is well, therefore, to avoid vaccinating a child when it is not in good health. The question often arises as to how 6o00n a babv should be vaccinated, particularly if small- pox is prevalent. As a matter of experience, it is found that the vaccination does not “take 7 before the third month, though, if a younger baby is to be exposed to _ poison, it would be yell to have it vaccinated. . The ne ae should not ‘be tampered with by nurse or mother. No grease or ointment should be apptied without the doctor’s sanction. AS @ rule, the dryer it is kept, the better. A soft “we handkerchief or bandage may ~ tied ert gm f oO s» covering the sore. to preve a- tion trom. the rubbing of the clothing, watch should always be worn very loose.

One containing a little carbolic ac is usually the most efficacious. TO EASE THE FEET.

The “No Breakfast” Fad Is Really Bene- ficial, Say Doctors, : éé F the many cures in yogue recog- nized from their records as ome the name, nine-tenths of them depend upon reducing the diet for their effectiveness,” is the position taken by Ella Morris Kretschmar writing on “The Subject of Diet.” “A widespread fad during the last few years has been the ‘no breakfast cure,’ and thousands of dyspeptics have gained health, the stout have grown thin and the thin have grown stout, all through lifting the burden from over-taxed di- gestions. An equally popular cure preceding this was the leaving off of the evening meal equally effective, of course, just as a ‘no mid-day meal cure’ would be if it should be promulgated, “One of the most splendid cures, for all ills, in Europe is the grape cure, practiced in Germany; and it is said that any one taking the treatment drops off the wear and tear of five yeard—actually renews himself by so much, The ganitariums where this treatment is given are beautifully and healthfully situated and comfortably appointed.

CALBY, in his address at the open- ing of St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School, as reported by the London Lancet.says that the advisability of making tuberculosis a noti- fiable disease has been much discussed; no drastic steps in this direction seem practicable or even deirable, but in his opinion regulations for a mod- ined notification, similar to those in force in New York since 1893, might with advantage be adopted in this country, particularly in our large cities. He refers to the regulations of the New York Board of Health, by which the authorities of all public institutions were required to notify all cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and all private prac- - titioners were requested to do the same, every facility being at the same time afforded for bac- teriological examination of tuberculosis cases at the public expense, for efficient disinfection by the sanitary authorities, and for actual renovation of premises which had been occupied by phthisic- nl patients... Such measures would probably in time pave the way for more comprehensive meas- ures, as has been the case in aon York. Since 1897 the notification of tuberculosis has become compulsory in that city—a broad distinction be- ing, however, intentionally made between it as a “communicable” disease and the common infec- tious fevers. The death rate from all tuberculous diseases in New York has fallen from 4.42 in 1886 to 2.8 in 1879, and, according to Dr. Herman Riggs, who has done so much to bring this about the present year promises to chronicle a atill more decided advance in the same direction COLD BATHS.

In 1816 his father moved Indiana, Where his mother soon after died, but whose place was soon filled by a step- mother, Sarah Bush Lincoln. During the next few years he worked on the farm, and in moments of leisure read what books he could find. His stock of books was small, but he knew them thor- oughly and they were good books to know: the Bible, Esop’s Fables, Robinson Crusoe, Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, a History of the United States, Weem’'s Life of Wash- Ington, and the Statutes of Indiana.

The aggressor, to get even, has the one who thrashed him tried in our Circuit Court upon a charge of assault and battery. Mr. Lincoln de- fended and told the jury that his client was in the fix of a man who in going along the highway with a pitchfork on his shoulder, was attacked by a fierce dog that ran out at him from a farmer's yard. In parrying off the brute with the fork its prongs stuck into the brute and killed him. “What made you kill my dog?’’ said the farmer. ‘“‘What made him try to bite me?” “But why did you not go at him with the other end of the pitchfork?” “Why, didn’t he come after me with his other end?’ At this, Mr. Lincoln whirled about in his long arms an imaginary dog and pushed its tail end toward the jury. In the“Illinois Legislature in 1839 an op- ponent taunted him with the hopelessness of his cause, He replied: ‘Address that argument to cowards and knaves. With the free and the brave it will effect noth- ing. It may be true; if it must, let it. Many free countries have lost their lib- erties, and ours may lose hers, but if she shall, let it be my proudest pleasure, not that I was the last to desert, but that l never deserted her.’ In one of his canvasses for the Legisla- ture Lincoln encountered an orator named Forquer; a man much older than himself, t . ws ps taco +aS%,3 Ase CHARACTER MOLDING BOOKS —PATHETIC INCIDENTS—EXAM- PLES OF HUMOR—CHARACTER- ISTIC HAPPENINGS moniously by the Minister, and etiquette demanded an equally ceremonious reply from the President to be conveyed to the Queen. Instead, Mr. Lincoln put his hand on Lord Lyons’ shoulder and said, “Go thou and do likewise.”’ Among the European soldiers who from time to time came over and offered to serve in the Union armies was one yourg man who, on receiving his commission as lieutenant, assured the President that he belonged to the oldest nobility of Germany. *“O,” replied Mr. Lincoln, “never mind that, “you will not find that to be an ob- stacle to your advancement.” When Gen. Burnside was beseiged in Knoxville, Tenn., a telegram came one day announcing that ‘Firing is heard in the direction of Knoxville.’”’ “Glad of it,’’ ex- claimed Mr. Lincoln. “Why should you be glad of it?’ asked a friend who feared disaster. “Why, you see,” he explained, “it re- - s/ LINCOLN’S BIRTHPLACE IN KENTUCKY. minds me of Mrs. Sallie Ward, a neighbor of mine. She had a very large family. Occasionally one of her numerous progeny would be heard crying in some out-of-the- way place and she would exclaim, ‘There's one of my children that isn’t dead yet!” Mr. Lincoln kept his sanity by feeding his sense of humor in the midst of his trying duties. When he called his Cabinet together to read the draft of the Eman- cipation Proclamation he began by read- ing to them a chapter from “Artemus Ward; His Book,” and laughed heartily at ris crude grotesqueries. At the end of this chapter his overstrained mind had re- covered its tone. TWELVE PATHETIC INCIDENTS IN LINCOLN’S CAREER, After the surrender of Lee and Johnson, he said to his wife: ‘“‘Mary, we have had a hard time of it since we came to Wash- ington, but the war is over, and with God's blessing we may hope for four years of peace and happiness, and then we will go back to Illinois and pass the rest of our lives in quiet.’’ He spoke of his old Spring- field home, his little brown cottage, the law office, his adventures while on circuit. He was like a boy out of school. A few hours after that he was dead, The proclamation of emancipation was issued Jan. 1, 1863. In obedience to custom the President had been receiving calls on that New Year's day, and for hours shak- — a mer NOX COLLEGE a Oe ees Oe ieee el a , nn seated rete ben ee, LINCOLN aay ag ee / | . ‘ co , \\ iS 4 4 A LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS OcT who referred to him as ‘‘this young man” and said he meant to “take him down, which he proceeded to do to his own satis- faction.

If my name ever into history it wit be for this act and my whole soul is in it. If my hand trembles when I sign the proclamation, those who examine the document will say, ‘He hesi- tated.’’’ Then resting his arm @ moment, he turned to the table, took up the pen, and slowly and firmly wrote “Abraham Lincoln.” He smiled as, handing the paper to Mr. Seward, he said, “That will do,”’ gets Lincoln never forgot a benefactor. After he left New Salem, financial reverses came to James Short, an old friend who had helped him, and he moved to the far West to seek his fortunes anew, Karly in Lineoln’s presidential term he heared that “Uncle Jimmy” was living in Call- fornia. One day Mr. Short received a let- ter from Washington, D. Cc. Tearing it open he read that he had been commis- sioned an Indian agent.

It was the amount due to a penny. He had kept this for years, al- though often straightened for the neces- saries of life. : Lincoln did his last work for his father in the summer of 1830, and having reached his majority, struck out for himsett. When he left home he went empty handed, He was already some months over 21 years of age, but he had nothing in the world, not even a suit of respectable clothes; and one of the first pieces of work he did was “‘to split 400 rails for every yard of brown jeans dyed with white walnut bark that would be necessary to make him a pair of trousers.”’ Mr. Lincoln was called to Cincinnati in 1855 as counsel in an important case, There he met Mr. Reverly Johnson, Mr, E. M. Stanton and other eminent lawyers of the East. After the case was concluded he walked out with a friend. For block after block he spoke not a word, evidently being deeply dejected. Then he turned to his companion, ‘‘Emerson,” he said, “I am going home’ —a pause, “I am going home to study law.’’ “Why,” exclaimed the friend, “‘you are already at the head of the Illinois bar. What do you mean?’ “Ah, yes,” he said, “I do occupy a good position there, and I think that I can get along with the way things are done there now. But these college trained men, who have devoted their whole lives to study, are coming West, don’t you see? And they study their cases as we never do. They have got as far as Cincinnati now. They will soon be in lIllinois.’”” Another long pause; then, stopping, his countenance suddenly assuming that look of strong de- termination which those who knew him best sometimes saw upon his face, he ex- claimed: “I am going home to study law.

WHERE LINCOLN HAD A LAW OFFICE, they get out to Illinois I will be ready for them.,’’ Lincoln never forgot his lack of early education. Once on the circuit his friends missed him after supper. When he re- turned, some one asked where he had been. “I have been to a little show up at the Academy,” he said. He sat before the fire, says the narrator, and told of all the sights of that most primitive of country shows given chiefly to school children. Next night he was miss- ing again; the show was still in town, and he stole in as before and entertained us with a description of new sights—a magic lantern, electrical machine, etc. I told him I had seen all those sights at school. “Yes,’’ he said sadly, “I now have the ad- vantage over youof for the first time in my life seeing things which are, of course, common to those who had what I did not, a chance at an education when they were young.” While the Chicago convention was in ses- sion Lincoln awaited the news in the office of the Sangamon Journal in Springfield, A telegram was handed him announcing his nomination. He read it to himself and then without waiting to hear the con- gratulations of his friends, said: “There ig a little woman down at our house who will like hear this.

That the Almighty does make use of human agencies and directly intervenes in human affairs, is one of the plainest state- ments of the Bible. I have had so many evidences of His direction, so many in- stances when I have been controlled by some other power than my own will, that I cannot doubt that this power comes from above. I frequently see my way clear to a decision when I am conscious that I have no sufficient facts upon which to found it. But I cannot recall one instance in which I have followed my own judgment founded upon such a decision where the results have been unsatisfactory; whereas . in almost every instance where I have yielded to the views of others I have had occasion to regret it.

From time to time Australian steam- ships bring to this port thrilling tales about the adventures of traders who risk their lives among the barbarians of the South Pacific. It remained for the steamship R. M. 8. Aorangi, which arrived here the other day, to give to the world the most startling cannibal story of the decade. Press dispatches told it briefly at the time. The 800-ton bark Mambare, Capt. Jackson, was wrecked off the shores of New Guinea. Of the crew of twenty twelve escaped drowning, only to be devoured by cannibals, with one exception. That was able seaman Jim Green. He is now in Sydney, Australia. From him Mr. Arthur Sinclair, who was a pas- gsenger on the steamer Aorangi, obtained the story of his horrible experience and gufferings. To me Mr. Sinclair gave the story almost in Green's words. Here it is: ‘‘As far as I know I am the only one left of the crew of twenty men that left Sydney a little more than two months ago in the bark Mambare to'trade with the natives of New Guinea. Eleven of my mates were eaten by cannibals, and the rest are, I believe, at the bottom of the South Pacific. “Most of us were raised in Australia and had sailed among the islands for years. Everywhere we went the natives were friendly. We heard that off Samaria, New Guinea, a treacherous tribe of natives had encamped on the shore, and Capt. Jackson gave the place a wide berth. “The first week in December we etarted on the return voyage to Sydney. We had been out two days when a terrible cyclone struck us. The Mambare lost her rudder at the end of the second day, about Dec. 9. and we provisioned the lifeboats and waited for the worst. The vessel com- menced to take water and we took to the sea in the boats. “In my boat were Mate Clark, Ship Car- penter Wright and Seaman Naradie, Phil- lips, Murphy, Browning, Hatzwig, Jones, McAdams, Jessop and Williams. The other boat contained Capt. Jackson and geven of the crew. We soon lost sight of them, as a terrible sea was rolling, and I have never seen any of them since. “We were buffeted around a day and a night and then tossed on a rocky shore. Clark was the only one injured. He had his arm broken. Some of our provisions us all and then motioned us to follow him. We were unarmed and thought it wise to obey. “I don’t know how many miles into the interior we went before we reached their The sun was broiling hot and we were all exhausted Iwhen at nightfall we There were fully 500 Savages, male and female, in the village.

Then an old hag rushed up and ran her fist into his eye, laying it bare on the cheek. “Clark prayed for death, but the end was not yet. He was taken down and stripped and then tied up again. I closed my eyés in horror and did not see his end. When next I looked he had been beheaded and his bloody head was stuck on a long pole ,and paraded around the village. Men, wo- men and children followed. His arms and “A big, tierce looking fellow inspected us all and then motioned us to follow him. We were unarmed and floated ashore and we made a poor meal. “We carried Clark to high land and made a shelter for him of trees that had been torn up by the storm. It was daybreak when we were cast ashore and before the sun was very high we had a horde of about 50 savages around us. “Wright tried to talk with them, but he could not make himself understood. They were different from any natives we had seen, and were armed with bows, arrows, spears and hatchets. “A big, fierce looking fellow inspected thought it wise to obey.” a circular space in the center of the vit- lage. pot suspended over it.

I be- | lieve an expedition will be sent from here to get trace of them, and I will accompany it. Capt.

The naval experts at Washington have now made a chart of the whole affair, and declare that the best shot of all was on the Spanish gentleman’s side. It was the six-cushion shot at the cruiser Baltimore. It was the one shot that drew blood from the Americans, wounding eight men. The projectile that executed this fancy movement was a 5%-inch 60-pound one. It came from the Canacao battery on shore. At its first hit it entered the Baltimore two feet above the upper deck, going through two thicknesses of %-inch steel of the ship’s side. This, of course, didn’t hinder the 60-pound plunger in the least. It kept straight ahead on a downward incline. Incidentally it touched off two three-inch shells lying WM HHT hi rf ee MQo| MARVELOUS of 0 ae "| LiL! Wa AA AM ill TOF THE Wi widows of the ill-fated sallors. ——_ mes upon the deck. The explosions of these shells were what wounded eight men. But the Spanish shell went right on. It hit the deck at a slanting angle and pen- etrated till it struck a heavy deck beam. This was cracked like a pipe stem. The shell then glanced upward. It emerged from the wooden deck and made a line for the steel walls of the engine room. skylight. By this time the shell’s nose had been turned upward, so it etruck the steel combing of the skylight side on. It made a tremendous rent, away almost bodily the steel combing, mak- ing holes 18 inches long by 6 inches wide. Striking the heavier steel work at the top of the skylight, the projectile was re- flected downward again. It was then pre- pared to execute the finest movement of all. Straight for the shield of the six-inch gun on the port side it flew. It struck on the upper side of the circular shield of this carrying gun. Then a marvelous thing happened. Unable to go through the shield, it glanced upward, then backward, and bounded back across the deck in the opposite direction. It had bent that solid steel shield one inch from its normal shape. In turning this somersault the shell had hit the recoil cylinder of the six-inch gun and disabled the carriage. But the projectile was etill bowling mér- rily aiong. It swooped down, and again took a mouthful of the wooden dec and then veered upward. The tricky shell would then have es- caped from the Yankee ship if it had not come in contact with the upright fron pipe of a ventilator. .It made a big dent in that like a stone would in a stovepipe, and then fell to the deck with its force spent. It then became a souvenir, and has earned a place in history as the moet skil- ful shot made by the Spaniards during the whole naval war of 1898. : ; B To the Editor of the Sunday Post-Dispatch.

AN EPIDEMIC OF CLAIMANTS FOR GREAT ENGLISH ESTATES. HERE seems to be a perfect epidemic Bi of claims against great English es- tates. some of which have features as sensational as that which Arthur Orton, the butcher of Wagga Wagesa. set up to the vast property of Sir Roger Tichborne. An Islington builder named Stafford has delved in the British Museum and found he says, evidence that he is the direct heir and representative of Baron Hervey of Strafford, created in 119%, whose barony was, as alleged, unlawfully obtained in 1640 by William Howard, from whom the pres- ent Baron claims descent. Stafford, the builder, says that the Howard family be- came extinct on the male side in 1762 and on the female side In 1807, and that he is the rightful heir. A coal miner named Samuel lays claim to the rich Samuel Gibbon estate in Tla- morgan, Wales; but as there is no title In- volved, this interests the British public less than Daycott Wharton's claim to be the heir of the long extinct Dukedom of Whar- ton. The last Duke, according to the claim- ant, took a dislike to his only son, who did not resemble the family type. and changed him for another boy, who died without is- sue. Daycott Wharton claims to derive from the real heir, the discarded boy. A likely story, isn’t it? But more extraordinary than any or afi of these claims is that of Mrs. Anna Maria Druce that her son, a sailor, is by right the Duke of Portland and the possessor of an estate worth $1,500,000 per year or, at the low investment rates in England, a capital- ization of $50,000,000.

While this committee has of late year® been cernestly endeavoring to prevent the passage of billa carrying large raées of pension, this particular case appeals so strongly, not only to Congress, but to the people of the country, as to make it one of exceptional merit. The long avd arduous services of Gen. Palmer during the lute Civil!)

Impressed with the view that no citizen of the republic will ermine Gen.

PALMER would be picked from (; a crowd as a man of the people. His most dominant characteristic is progressiveness. He is tall, broad shoul- dered, rugged. In spite of his age he is rugged. Though four score and two he is not bent. The brightness that was in his eyes until a few years ago is departing. One of the eyes is blind. The other is failing rapidly. Solely because of this af- fliction Gen,. Palmer walks more slowly than formerly, and with a cane. He still dresses in black.. From the broad sleuch hat to the neatly made boots there is no color in his costume. He invariably wears a black Prince Albert coat, with wide j- pels, a vest cut rather low, exposing much of his white shirt front and a black bow tie. His hat fs No. 7% and his boots No. 7. Vigor and vitality are apparently in ev- ery line of his make-up even to-day, though his weakness of sight detracts somewhat from his appearance of ruggednéss, He is naturally a man of large frame. He is 5 feet 11 inchés tall and though he weighs 210 pounds he carries little superfluous flesh. Age has left some marks on his face in. the last ten years, but he stfll looks a much younger man than he‘is. His mental powers are undimmed, It is his physi- eal affliction that prevents him from fol. lowing his profession, He has always been a hard worker and has trained himself to do most of his own work. At this late day he cannot learn to depend upon gerv. ants. He is still a rapid talker except occa- sionally, when he draws a sentence out, giving to each word great distinctness, and he still has his old habit of drawing his left hand across this forehead and down over his eyes. All his life he has used liquor and smoking and chewing tohacco in moderation. His beard, which grows straight down from his chin, has been white for years; his hair, which in his youth was tawny, still has a yellowish tint in its white- ness, PALMER AS A SELF-MADE MAN.

Filled many public offices and served the people nearly all his life with such honesty and devotion that he now must accept a pension of $50 per month, When he was 14 years old John’s father moved to Madison County, Illinois, near Alton. There was in“Alton at that time an tn- stitution known as the College of Alton. In return for their education those of the Students who could not pay for tuition worked at farming, scrubbed floors, car- ried wood and built fires. John@®Paimer was one of those who worked for his educa- tion, Even on that basis he found it difficult to make both ends meet.. He- had no money to buy clothes or pay his board and at last he was forced to leave the college. He was in debt. He apprenticed himself to a cooper named Larkins Stark. He worked twelve hours a day for 50 cents. Then the became a clock peddler, a prof- itable occupation in those days. A clock — he sold is still running in Springfield, IL He met Stephen: Douglas in a hotel one night, Douglas prevailed on him to study law. He studied with John Greathouse of Collinsville, Ill., and in December, 1839, was admitted to the bar. He did clerieal work to pay for his education as a lawyer. PALMER AS A SOLDIER. EN. PALMER was a member of the Crittenden Peace Congress, which found itself with nothing to do when Fort Sumter was fired upon. He hur- ried home and organized the Fourteenth Regiment of Illinois volunteers, of which he was elected colonel. This was in April, 1861. In the following October he was bre- veted brigadier general of volunteers and in August, 1862, he organized the 1224 Lili- nois Regiment. A month later he was placed in command of the First Division of the Army of the Mississippi:-and was ordered to join Gen. Buell at Nashville. His division was in the thickest of the bat- tle of Stone River. For gallantry and skill in this engagement Gen. Palmer was made major general of volunteers. At Corinth and Farmington he also distinguished him- self for coolness and bravery. In one en- gagement he was surrounded and literally cut his way through the enemy’s lines, At Chickamauga his division was one of the few that remained unbroken and fought to the end of the terrific engage- ment. At the close of the war there was a Gen. Palmer and Gen. John M, Schofield. Private Joe Fifer in Gen. Palmer retired.

OUIS MEMBERS OF THE ENGINE oy * THEIR LIFE DESCRIBED IN A COMPOSITE LETTER FROM PRIVATES TO THE SUNDAY POSTfDISPATCH. MATANZAS, Cuba, Feb. 1, 1899. To the Editor of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. O DOUBT there are many friends of N the Third U. S. V. Engineers, organ- ized at Jefferson Barracks last sum- mer, who would like to know how we are @etting along. We have seen a number of St. Louis newspapers since our arrival here, but in none of them have we ever read anything concerning our movements. Many of our boys live in St. Louis, and their friends and relatives will be glad to read of our doings in Cuba. The Third battalion, consisting of Com- panies D., I., L. and'M (the rest of the regi- ment being left behind at Macon, Ga.), em- . barked for Matanzas from Port Tampa, Fla., Tuesday, Dec. 20, on the Plant Line steamer Florida, after a delay of three days in waiting for a transport, during which time we made ourselves as comfortable as . possible in the warehouse on the dock. It Was at first thought that the transport was not large enough to accommodate the whole battalion, but we were finally placed on board—two companies on the upper and ably crowded; but this was overlooked by the boys in their eagerness to get away, for most of us thought the sooner we went to Cuba and transacted our business there the quicker could we return to our homes and ‘business. The trip over was uneventful. A few of us became seasick, but not to amount to much. As we neared Cuba an order from our Colonel was read, calling upon us to respect the civil and religious rights of the people we were soon to be among, and to terat all with becoming courtesy. At last the outline of the Cuban Coast was sighted, and finally the entrance to Havana Harbor, where the transport was to stop and unload lumber for the American camps. Great curiosity was manifested by the boys to see the famous Morro Castle, which soon became plainly visible. How grim and uninviting it looked as we steamed past it and into the harbor! Further on we passed Cabanas Fortress, the walls of which were lined with Spanish soldiers, who gazed silently at us as we passed. On the right, in the city, crowds of Cubans who had gathered shouted a “Vive” to us as we entetred. With us all eyes were strained for the wreck of the Maine. ‘There it is!’ some one shouted; and sure enough, there was the twisted mass of metal—all that re- mained to tell the awful tale of that dark February night. It was truly a sad spec- tacle, We laid over night, dnd at daybreak left for Matanzas, where we arrived at 1 p. m. We stayed on board overgight and landed in lighters bright and early in the morning, marched throught the city with our colors fiying and went into camp about d@ mile outside the city. We were the first Amert- can troops to land here, and were a great curiosity. As we passed the numerous barracks in the city the Spanish soldiers craned their necks to catch a glimpse of the “Americanos,’’ and I must say that our in- terest in them was just as great. 15,000 of them were said to be here when we arrived and in numbers, at Jeast they had considerably the best of it. But they were a poor-looking crowd, and compared with the sturdy American troope it is easily About _ seen they were never in it. On New Year’s day, after being compli- mented by our Colonel upon our good be- havior since our arrival, we marched into the city, stopping at Fort San Severino, just outside. There we saw the Spanish flag hauled down and the stars and stripes raised. We could have given a good old American cheer as Old Glory was run up, but the order wassNot a word!”’ Not a few of tte Spanish men and officers were visibly affected by the removal of their flag. From the fort we marched through the c‘ty, and were lined up in front of the Governor General’s palace. There we gave the retiring Spaniards a last salute before formally taking possession. ‘After installing Company M in the city as a guard, the other three companies marched back to camp. The Twelfth New York regiment has been credited with the flag raising here by an Eastern paper, but it is not true. They arrived in the bay on that day but had not yet left the transport. Therefore the honor of taking possession fell upon our battalion. It was a sight to see the poor unfor- tunate Cubans on the: day that the’ flag under which they had suffered so much came down. As we marched into the city they cried, ‘‘Viva Los Americanos!” It was a great day for them, and we heartily sympathized with their liberty. After the Spaniards had evacuated this place Governor-General Wilson alilowed three’ days in which to celebrate the event, and they did it with a vim. The Cuban” Army here paraded. There were about 500 soldiers, mostly black and véry ragged. On the fourth day a réview of the Ameri- can troops was had. Since Jaa. 1, four regiments of Americans have come here, namely, the Eighth Massachusetts,.Twelfth New York, One Hundredth and Sixtieth Indiana and the Third Kentucky. The good order and discipline maintained by the American troops has been, with few ex- ceptions, very good. . The sun is very hot here, but the weather, though warm, is not. oppressive. The nights are cool, and between midnight and revellle a blanket goes good. We are com- fortably situated along the bay. We are supplied with cots in large brown tents with raised floors, eix men to the tent. All-the sinks are Built along the edge of the bay over the water—an improvement that contributes largely to the health of tha men. We are being treated well, but army life at best is a tough one, and we shall be very glad whén the peace treaty is ratified, for them’ we hope to be ‘dis- charged’ from the. service. f ‘The natives here seem to be abowt di-- wided—half being white and the other haif black or mulatto.. As a rule they are quite lazy. A considerable-number of them are employed by the United States Government cleaning up, ete, under our supervision, - and it sometimes taxes our patience to. keep: them going, which we are obliged to do. The girls or. senoritos are in most cases very pretty, and seem to like us well enough, but we are considerably hampered by the difference of languages—an obstacle that we hope to remove by degrees. We sincerely hope that Uncle Sam will find it expedient to deliver this island over to its people as‘soon as possible, for they have long dreamed of and hoped for the day that would find.them an independent people. Many of the boys are opposed to the expansion idea, and here, at least, we believe it will be resisted by the natives. This climate, and no doubt that of the Other colonies, at certain seasons of the year, is very unhealtful to an American used to a temperate région, and would be a serious menace to the health of the treops who would necessarily haye to be stationed here. I don’t believe the boys would relish the task of crushing a people who are struggling for iiberty. But we do not for- get, however, that we are soldiers, sworn to uphold: our Government. We read in the last newspaper received here that the treaty of peace will come up for ratification in the Senate on Feb. 6. We sincerely hope it will be ratified as soon as possible, for the understanding here is that as soon as that is done it will only be a short time until we are allowed to return to our homes once more. We did not enlist for garrison duty, and can serve our country just as well in civil life. PRIVATES. two on the lower decks.

Would you break & woman’s heart to make your picture more effective?’ “Undoubtedly so. I should feel it my duty to sacrifice a woman’s feelings to my. art; and when the woman is as pretty as this one the duty becomes a pleasure.” “What is the girl’s name?” asked Tre- dennis, “Matilda Dunn, so mine hostess informed me; and I gathered from the same source that the old lady in charge of the fair Matilda—whom I take to be her maiden aunt—is known to Matilda by the absurt pet name of ‘Nanty,’ but to the less-favored public by the impressive cognomen of Miss Amelia Cox. Carteret laughed. “I hope I shan’t make her dissatisfied with the men of her own Class,"” he remarked, with much conceit. George Carteret and Will Tredennis were on a sketching tour, and had stopped at Mawean, that most picturesque of all Cor- nish villages. They had alreadv been there for three days, and on the morrow Treden- nis was going on to Tintagel, while Car- teret meant to etay at Mawgan to make some more sketches in that delighiful neighborhood. In a week’s time they were to meet again at Penzance, and do the South of Cornwall together. The following day Tredennis left, and then Cartcret devoted himself to bringing that look into Matilda’s blue eyes which would render her fit to be the model for his Peri. It was not difficult to make friends with Miss Cox—she was only too ready to enter into sociable conversation with any one, as she found Mawgan decid- edly dull, and she pointed out to George Oarteret its obvious inferiorities, as a holiday resort, to Margate. Of Miss Cox George intended to make a stepping-stone to lead to Miss Dunn, and In a few hours he had established most friendly relations between himself and the elder of his fej- low-tourists. Having charmed Miss Amelia, George de- voted the next @ay to the conquest of Ma- tilda, and was even more pleased with his success. As they thug sat together during the long summer days George strove his utmost to captivate thi girl's fancy, and gradually he Was rewarded by seeing the look he longed for steal into her blue eyes, Those wonder- ful eyes c i to be sad when he was there a a ik’ re a. ye ~ ay noes GP ae, Mee : ae ae S i fale — ie cae he of : era - most caressing voice, “I have a favor to ask of my little queen. Do you think she will grant it to me?’ He had taken to call her Mattie; he thought it a prettier name than Matilda. The girl shyly raised her eyes to his. “It seems. funny for you, who are such a great artist and such a clever man, to ask favors of me.” ; “You sweet, simple darling! Don’t you know that beauty makes every woman such a powerful queen in her own right that all men—even the cleverest—are her sub- jects?” And George fairly bridled with pride as he said “‘even the cleverest.”’ “But you—you—are so different from all the rest,” Matilda added timidly. “Only in your eyes, dearest—the sweetest eyes in the whole world. I am not much better or much worse than other men of my class.” “Tell me, what is the favor you want to ask?” she said. “You know that I am going to paint a great picture for next year’s academy.” Matilda nodded. “I know, the one you read me the beautiful poem about, don’t you mean?” “Yes; and I want to make a sketch of you, so that my Peri’s face may be yours. Then if my picture is a great success—as I mean it to be—it will be the triumph of your beauty andgof my art in one.” The girl flushed with joy, and almost held her breath. “Oh, you don't think I am pretty enough for that, do you, for my face to live forever on your canvas?’ “I do, my sweet; I think you are beauti- ful enough for Michael Angelo to have painted you as an angel. So you'll let me make a sketch of your head, won't you?” “Of course I will. too good to be true! Nanty will be proud to see me in a picture.” “All the world will be proud of you when they see your face as I shall paint it,” re- plied the artist grandiloquently; but Me- tilda gazed at him as if his utterances had been those of an ispired prophet instead of a very conocited young man. So George made a sketch of Matilda's Mattie was very quiet the day before he left Mawgan, Dut she was not the sort of girl to vex & Man with tears and hysterics. ‘Tell me your address,” she said as they walked by the stream that last evening; “go that I may know where to write to you.” But George was wary. “I can't. do that, Soe, ire mer Viens Are on ws rise ib But it seems almost - deme, gat ope tn Bey he ’ — oy going to do.” “Promise that you will write to me soon,” Matilda entreated. “T promise.” “Faithfully ?’’ ‘Yes, faithfully.” But still the sweet face looked anxious. ‘‘Will you give me your word of honor that you'll write to me by next Monday at the latest?

But in vain did Matilda’s eyes appeal to him from the barred gates of Paradise. He had for- gotten the girl’s existence, save as the model of his Peri’s face. Early in the season there was a large ball at Lady Silverhampton’s, and as George was making his way through the crowded rooms his hostess tapped him on the arm. “O, Mr. Carteret, Lady Maud Duncan has asked me to present you to her. She hase “For shame, Cartaret! Would you break a woman’s heart to make your picture more effective?” George laughed. How deliciously simple she was, he thought. “I give you my word The next morning Carteret said good-by to Matilda and to Miss Cox, with many promises of future meetings, none of which he kept, or ever meant to keep.

This. he felt, was fame, for Lady Maud Duncan was the only child and heiress of the wealthy Earl of Comleydale, and a celebrated beauty to boot, and she was gr of the most brilliant novelists of. of while to be known by her was to be in so- clety. Lady Silverhampton piloted George to a secluded seat in a flowery alcove, where an exquisitely dressed young woman was sitting alone, and then -pronounced the magic words of introduction, and left him. His conventional bow, however, was 4af- rested half way, for thé girl sitting on the secluded seat was none ‘other than Ma- tilda Dunn. ‘How do you do, Mr. Carteret?” she be- gan, with an easy assurance that had not characterized her in the Mawgan days: “I am so glad to meet you here to-night, for I have heaps of things to eay to you.”’ And she made room for him beside her on the settee, “I don’t understand,” said George limp- ly, as ‘he sat down. “Of course you don’t. How could you? But I am going to explain.’’. All the starch had suddenly gone out of George, so he remained silent and waited for further revelations. Lady Maud continued: “You see, it is impossible for me to find time either in London or at Comleydale to ‘write my books, we have so many visitors and know such heaps of people; so when I am work- ing at a novel I fly incog, to some remote country place and there go on with my writing in peace. On these occasions I al- ways call myself Miss Matilda Dunn, and my old nurse, Amelia Cox, goes with me to take care of me.” “Oh, I see!" George looked at ease for so distinguish artist. Lady Maud began to laugh. “Now I am coming to the amusing part of my story. I happened to be sitting at my open win- dow that evening at Mawgan when you confided to Mr. Tredennis your praisewor- thy intention to trifle with the youthful af- fections of poor Matilda Dunn, and I thought what fun it would be to fool you to the top of your bent, and use up all the idiotic things you might say as ‘copy’ for the story I was then writing.

I seek to reduce Christianity to a basis of good fellowship and happiness; to reduce the machinery of the church to the utmost simplicity, avoiding too many auxiliary organizations; to make _ the church independent of all charity and ben- efit entertainments, which lessen the dig- nity of the church; to make the church the place where the men and women and young people of Webster admittedly have the'r best times; to place no restrictions upon my church people, believing that a diamond is always a diamond, and that, so far from learning evil, they will teach good wherever they go. recital and a lecture course, and, in addi- tion to these, I do my utmost to make the gospel most winsome of all. “The average non-churchgoing man re- gards a church as an institution run by one man and a great many women.

It tends to church democracy and deeper interest in the church upon the part of the people. There is no higher author- ity in our church than ourselves, and our church creed is simple and in accordance with our beliefs. We have a church prop- erty which cost $52,(00, and $11,000 of this remains unpaid. Of this we will pay $2000 each year. I hope to interest more people in the church all the time and to enlist them in the good times we are hawing, and many of these, I hope, will be men.

Nobody sleeps in his church while Dr. Kloss is preaching, and nobody misunderstands what he is saying, ‘for Christianity preached from the pulpit must be plain, practical Christianity pertaining to the every-day things of the lives of the men and women to whom we are preach- ing,.”’ says Dr. Kloss. “I was born in Pennsylvania Doctor says. “My father was a clergyman, and I was educated for the clergy. I graduated at Yale and took a post-gradu- ate at the University of 3erlin, after preaching two years. Then I preached two years in Kansas and came to Webster Grov«s from the 8S. W. Tabernacle Congre- gational Church at Kansas City, where I was in the pulpit seven years. I have been here a year, and in that time we have everything Dr. Kloss does is fun. He “Christianity is a joyous thing. I would not terrify a man into confession of Christ by holding before him the horrors of hell, but rather would ‘win him by sur- rounding him with the joys of a Christian life.” This is his doctrine, and he pro- ceeds upon it enthusiastically.

Mr. Kipling will visit briefly in Vermont and go to Mexico, where he will rema‘n some time to familiarize himself with the Republic and its people. There have been times when he has not been so well satisfied with us. These are some of the things he wrote about us after his visit some years ago. The book in which the passages occur is not included in his complete works. Neither are the ‘‘Depart- mental Ditties,” which roasted the official- dlom of British India. Viewed in the light of our late unpleas- entness with Spain his opinion of the United States Army js interesting: “The American Army,” he wrote. “ is a beautiful little army. Some day, when all the Indians are happily dead or drunk, it ought to make the finest scientific and sur- Vey corps that the world has ever seen. It does excellent work now, but there ‘s this defect in its nature—it is officered, as you know, from West Point. of it is that West Point seems to be created for the purpose of sprading a gen- eral knowledge of military matters among the people. “A boy goes up to that institut’on oe pass and returns to civil life 26 they tell me, with a danger c i rag a he is a suckling oe “oti pe —— na Sar , } and may ap- — his learning when Occasion offers jiven trouble, that man wi ; *j because he is a "Seated e ‘igecyootata fcan to begin with. ae cock S ~ a ee , ae CX-sure of himeelf “s &@ man can be and with all the racial disregard for human life to back him through any dem!-semi-professional ven. eralship.” In other places he speaks bt-oer essay aS a “concertina army.’’ na chapter de voted to Sow > ‘ Lawlessness” Kipling takes se lige at the lack of military dignity in this country.

So long ae they do not Absolutely march into the District of Co- cught not to help to lay the foundations of an amateur military power that is blind and irresponsible.”’ When Mr. Kipling arrives this week re- porters wi.l besiege him, careless of the fine scorn he has for them. In reproducing a conversation he had with a reporter in the West, Kipling says that speaking of a certain newspaper’s methods he told iis representative: “It makes me regard your interesting na- tion with the same shuddering curiosity that I should bestow on a Pappan cannibal chewing the scalp off his mother’s skull. Does that convey any idea to your mind? “It makes me regard the whole pack of you as heathens—real heathens—not the sort you send missions to—creatures of an- other flesh and blood. You ought to have been shot, not dead, but through the stom- ach, for your: share in the scandalous business, and the thing you cail your newe- paper ought to have been sacked by the mop and the managing proprietor hanged.” Chicago newspapers particularly pained him. Of them he writes: “Leading art'cles which include gems such as ‘Back of such and such a place,’ or, ‘We noiiced, Tuesday, such an event,’ or ‘don’t’ for ‘does not,’ are things to be accepted with thankfulness. All that made me want to cry was that in these papers were faithfully reproduced ail the war- cries and ‘back talk’ of the Palmer House bar, the slang of the barber shops, the mental elevation and integrity of the Pull- man ¢€ar porter, the dignity of the dime museum and the accuracy of the excited fishwife. I am sternly forbidden to be- lieve that the paper educates the public. Then I am compelled to believe that the public educate the paper, yet su'cides on the press are rare.” The pulpit was not spared by this ruth- less critic. One Sunday he went to a prominent church in America, and this is his account of the services: “Bunday brought me the queerest ex- perience of all~a re , complete, velation of barbarism of some question of the Judgment, and ran: vas Tg 1 tell you God doesn’t do business at way. “Then I escaped before the blessing, de- siring no berediction at such hands.

They repeated their statements é é again.”’ “eo. Pejace — ae veins AP ? rho reads his “American . wilt and 7a. somewhere between tne ee aca and the colophon they are held up re ridicule.

Taylor’s political life began In Jonesboro in the summer of 1878, when he was very unexpectedly made the Demo- cratic nominee for Congress against Maj, Pettibone, whom he defeated In November of that year. In 1880 and again in 1882 he was defeated for Congress by Maj. Petti- bone. In 1884 he headed the Cleveland electoral ticket for the State at large. In 1885 he was appointed Pension Agent at Knoxville. In 188% he was the Democratic candidate for Governor, defeating his own brother Alf. In 1888 he defeated Samuel W. Hawkins for Governcr. In 189% he was again, and for the third time, elected to the governorship of Terfnessee, In 1893 he headed the Cleveland electoral ticket for the State at large. Summing it all up, it will be found that from 1849 to 187 Col N. G. Taylor was for Congress, presidential ten times, and that from 1874 A. A.

One side was for men, the other for women. Mrs. Stenhouse was then placed in a tub and was washed from head to foot, the attendants repeating various formulas to the effect that she was now washed clean from the blood of this. generation and should never, if she remained faithful, know the plagues and miseries that were about to come upon the earth, Then she was wiped dry and anointed with a huge horn of olive oil. Her eyes wer anoftnted that they might be quick to see, her ears that they might be apt at hearing, her mouth that she might speak the words of eternal life, and her feet that they might be swift to run in the ways of eternal life. She was then given a garment peculiar to the Mormon people, which envelops the whole body and is worn night and day. She was told that she must never put it wholly off before putting on another, but should change@it one-half at a time, and that if she did so she would be protected wholly from disease and even from death iteelf. Thus arrayed she proceeded to put on a white night dress, skirt, stockings and white linen shoes. A new name was whis- pered to her, which she was told never to breathe except to her husbands in the En- House. It. was the name by which she should be admitted into the celestial kingdom. ‘The name was Sarah, and Mrs. Stenhouse learned that it was the name given to the other women passing through the same ceremony. There were about 15 couples in all. The curtain was drawn aside and the women stood face to face with the men, who had been put through the same or- deal. The men wore white “unions; over that a white linen shirt such as men al- ways Wear, white stockings and canvas shoes. They sat opposite each other for several minutes. Then Mrs. Stenhouse and her husband were instructed to come for- ward and kneel at the altar while the others remained standing. Suddenly a voice was heard speaking to some one who replied. The voice from the unseen was supposed to be the voice of Elohim in conversation with Jehovah, and the words used were the same as those used in the first chapter of Genesis describing the creation of the world. Finally Jehovah and Elohim declared their intention of com- ing down to visit the earth. This they do and pronounce what they behold very good, but they declare that one of a higher order of intelligence than the brute creation in the world to govern and control all else. Michael, the Archangel, was then calied and he was placed on earth in the name of Adam. The Bible story is closely followed. It was then discovered ‘that it is not good to be alone. Adam was made to fall into a deep sleep. Elohim and Jehovah then came down and went through the motions of removing a rib from the side of the man, which said rib appeared immediately in the person of one of the famous women Mormons. Then the devil made his appearance in tne person of W. W. Phelps. He wore a tight- fitting suit of black muslin, with knee breeches, black satin stockings and slippers. He began by trying to scrape an acquaint- ance with Eve, whom he met while taking a walk in the garden. They entered into conversation. Satan offered her fruit, ana she partook of it. The devil then left her and Eve persuaded Adam to eat. They made a dumb show of perceiving their con- dition, and a white apron, upon which were sewn imitations of fig leaves, was produced, and in this they attired themselves. Then all the brothers and sisters produced similar aprons, which they put on.

That ended the First Degree. Men representing the ancient prophets en- tered and gave instructions to the people to prepare themselves for the coming of the Savior. All were given passwords and grips and were arranged in a semi-circle. The women covered their faces with their veils. All kneeled down and with right hands uplifted to heaven took solemn oath of obedience und secrecy. Mrs. Stenhouse says that this oath was administered in the most startling and im- pressive way, and the penalty was then explained. He who violated it would, while yet living, have his bowels torn from him, his tongue cut out, his throat cut from ear to ear, his heart cut out, and in the world to come everlasting damnation would be his portion, They were then taken to another room for the Third Degree, the Order of the Melchisedic Priesthood.

Mr. Lala dedi- cates his book “to Rear Admiral Dewey, whose recent great victory over the Span- ish fleet has begun a new era of freedom and prosperity for my country, and to President McKinley, in whose hand lies the destiny of eight millions of Filipinos.” The following are extracts from his book: A DIADEM OF ISLAND GEMS. ‘The earth possesses scenes more beautiful than those to be found in this verdant and blooming archipelago from its northern to its southern verge—this magnificent rosary of glowing islands that nature has hung above the heaving bosom of the warm Pacific. Of them ail none is more beautiful than Luzon, the largest and richest of the whole, with its vast varicty of attractive scenery, mountain and plain, lake and stream, everywhere rich with glossy leafage, clustered growths of bam- boo and palm, fields of yellow and verdant coffee groves. Everywhere there is wealth of trees, clothing the mountains to their summits and bordering the long @reen miics of ocean s “On‘a smaller scale, but ful than lord'y Laizon, are itlands, euch as Panar, Negros, Cep>u, Samar, and others of names that would be strange to foreign ears.

Under competent leadership the native, though strongly averse to discipline, can be made a splendid soldier. As saiiors, too, I do not believe they can be equaled, for lithe, active and fond of the water, the Malays have ever shown their inclination for the seas. Their pirates, coursing in their prahus, have, un- til a few years ago, for centuries infested the bays and inlets of the Bastern archi- pelago, looting the towns and villages on shore and taking as booty such foreign merchantmen ac they were able to over- come. On account of the ravages of these fierce Easicrn Vikings Europeans have beauty. The peculiar characteristics and the increase of energy due to this infusion of European blood, however, disappear if no further admixture takes place in the second geneation. The Malays, with an in- fusion of Chineee, are called Mestizo- Chinos. They are aiso more intelligent than the pure native. These people have a cunning, shifty look and are a disturbing element among the people. “Over all the islands are scattered a mountain tribe calied Aetas or Negritos. They are supposed to be the aborigines. They are very dark, some being as black as negroes. They are doubtless of py descent, and are said to resemble the nativ of New Guinea.

RIZAL. ‘Dr. Jose Rizal, the martyred leader of the present insurrection, was a native of high scientific acquirements and -consid- erable fame asa physician. He was presi- dent of the Marila University and a leader in social and educational affairs. But above all he was a patriot desiring the freedom of his country. He soon became the most ardent and prominent of the revolutionists who looked upon him with awe. However, he was suspected, and was exiled to Perin, on the island of Dopitan. There he per- formed a most difficult and successful op- eration upon a patient—an Irishman—whose daughter fell Gesperately in love with him, They were soon engaged. “Not long after Rizal was taken back to Manila for trial He was condemned to death. On the morning of his execution, Dec. 6, 1896, his flancee went to him. It was an affecting meeting—that last hour they were together.

The main street of Binondo is the Escolta, and here are sit- uated the commercial warehouses, the ha- zaars aid the European shops, The Es- colfa in the daytime presents an animated appearance. About 10,000 carriages pass here daily, and a great volume of business is transacted. The commerce is yearly in- creasing. The traffic on the river along the Binondo shore is considerable, though the waters are too shallow for ocean-going eraft. The laboring class of the city live in Tondo, a separate suburb, and the fash- ionables, the government officials and Eu- ropean merchants, live at San Miguel, the aristocratic suburlf.

One day with them is alike another— a part given to business and a part to amusements. They are early risers, and do not retire at night before 11 o'clock. There are several theatere in Manila, all of an inferior pattern. The opera is pop- ular and well supported. “Though Manila lies very low, it is by no means unhealthy. It is a pleasant city to live in, but not nearly so pleasant as it might be made to be. The climate is thus described by an old Spanish proverb: ‘Six months of dust; six months of mud: six months of everything.’ The spring months are December, January and February; the climate then is most agreeable. In March, April and May the heat is most oppressive. In June, July, Apgust and September oc- cur heavy rains. October and November are either wet or dry. The population of Manila is not far from 300,000, of which 70 per cent are pure natives, 15 per cent Chi- nese, 14 per cent Mestizo-Chinos, and 1 per cent Europeans and Creoles.” hifi “ (sig, AF fe f 4 4 LEYS) TORE, Vy, fi ibe Yh fishy 4 Up La jh ye if ty La Lig ibe Hi Uy Wy, ij Yi Wy 4 fiijs ie ibys Wes WHY bhi. ip, y, HES Ly bys f “fy Ms : fs i nS, Mey Vy Wie LN) By fy Ny i, YY i) Wh Wy : Hig ; std PA hy

TACHTER of 53805 Virginia av., St. Louis, is unusual among men in that s he holds two responsible professional positions each in its duties distinct from the other. Mr. Lichter is a civil engineer- ing superintendent of the Union Depot Btreet Railway Company and the professor University. He is 30 years of age anda graduate of the university. Next to his chosen profession of engi- of as- tronomy, and his knowledge of the science » Was known to be such that when this chair Became vacant at the university Mr. ‘Lichter was called to the faculty. Two Hours of the day he gives to his class at the University and the rest of the day to his ae work on the stréet railways. -* Mr. Lichter says: “Astronomy has ap- > Pealed to me since my early school days the most interesting of sciences. It is © * @ part of the civil engineering course at the university, and my love for the science has carried me into it extensively. We do little but work in anything but mathe- + ™atical astronomy. In fact, there is little ' Observatory work done in St. Louis. We ' fave a good instrument at the university : ‘but, like those of other institutiore in the city, its effectiveness is destroyed by the _ ©Ontinual shaking given the building by | Street cars and the smoke and dust of _ the city.” |.

Ot the northernmost post of the United States Weather Bureau, , Albert, British Columpi has been as low as 46 degrees below zero.

In our distress we turn upon Dr, R. J. Hyatt. the St. Louis forecast Official, for | tion. He Says: /“Bueh cold weather as we have been hav- ing the last few days is all a matter of §00d and bad luck—a matter of chance, for there is no regularity in the coming of Such cold waves and no cunning or com- Ppleteness in meteorology which would enable to know when this thing will happen | ‘@gain, We may be so fortunate as to have © Moderate winters for the next two, three Or five years and even more, and then we may be so unfortunate as to have _ Winter than this as early as next year. _ This cold wave distribution is a matter en- tirely Without arrangement either at this “gra of the country or the other. » “The genesis of this storm is very simple. oy does not require any great knowledge of / @meteorology to understand it.

Above this is Orion, the Hunter. Northwest of Orion is Taurue, the Bull, preceded by the Pleiades group, familiar to all. The constellation Canis Major is southeast of Orion, and fol- lowing ‘this is that of Argo, the Ship, North of Argo is Canis Minor and north of this, up toward the zenith are the twins, Geminl. Directly overhead is the constellation Auriga, marked by the bright star Capella. Sast of Gentini is Cancer, southeast of Cancer is Hydra, and rising directly in the east is Leo, the Lion. Perhaps the most familiar of these is the little Plelades group—the seven daughters of Atlas, according to the legends of the ancients. One of these, Merope, married a mortal and was thenceforth dimmed. Very good eyesight, however, will enable one to see 14 stars in this group, and as many as 2326 have been counted on a seingie photo- graphic plate of long exposure. This group of Washington University, the unique men of St. Louis, Ya one of who does the work in takes light 250 years to traverse the inter- vening space. a East of the Pleiades group is the bright star Aldebaran. Th'‘ae red star is found by the spectroscope to contain hydrogen, sodium, magnesium, fron, bismuth, tel- lurium, antimony and mercury. Its dis- tance from earth is about 28 light years. Another constellation known to all is that of Orion It contains many interesting stars and the famois Nebula of Orion, The star marked L is a deep orange in color, while Rigel (B Orionis) is a white star, having a faint blue companion of the sev- enth magnitude. From time immemorial this constellation has attracted attention, and was mentioned by Job. Orion supposed to be the son of Neptune and Euryale and he became the greatest hunter He boasted that there was in the world. not an animal on earth which he could not conquer. To punish his vanity, Jupiter sent a scorpion to bite his foot and cause his death. He was given a piace among the stars at the request of Diana. The three bright stars. forming the Belt are Delta, Epsilon and Zeta, third magni- tude stars, and all of them double. Be- low these three are the three faint stare forming the Sword, the middle one of which (Theta Orionis) easily separated by a telescope of moderate power, into four stars, known as the Trapesium, Surround- ing this multiple star ie the great Nebula— one of the most beautiful in the heavens. Southeast of Orion and in line. with the three ctars of the Belt is Sirius, the bright- est star in the heavens, and marked L in is was Science of two active men. Sirius ts so far distant that it takes light eight years to come to us from him. He is a white star, having a small blue com- panion of the ninth magnitude which re- volves around him once in 52 years. Forming an equilateral triangle with Sirius and Betelgeus (L Orionis) is the first magnitude star Procyon, the brightest star in the constellation of the Little Dog. This constellation contains 14 stare. According to Greek fable, the Little Dog was one of Orion’s hounds. Procyon, like Sirius, was supposed by the ancients to be a star of evil omen, especially bringing bad weather. As eeen through a telescope, it is of a golden yellow color. Almost half a century ago Bessel announced that from the motion of Procyon, it must have a companion. This companion was not seen until November, 1896, when it was discovered at Lick Ob- servatory. It takes light 12 years to travel from Procyon to the earth, North of Procyon, the two bright stars, Castor and Pollux, mark the constellation of Gemini. T north star of these two, Castor, ig a bea ul double star, the com- ponents of which revolve about each other once in 1000 years. Telescopes of very large power have discovered four companions to Pollux. Southeast of Pollux, and very near to it may now be identified by its ruddy color the planet Mars, which is at a distance of some 60,000,000 miles from the earth. To the east, and in line with Castor and Pollux, is another famous little group called the Beehive. Still farther east and juet rising is the first magnitude star Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation of Leo, constellation of Canis Major on our map. EDUCATE AND COST NOTHING. By Prof. William Trelease, Superinten- dent of Shaw’s Garden. HIS is a good time of the year to in- terest the children of the home in botany with aquarium work. There is no more fascinating adjunct to nature- than a well-kept aquarium. It a never-ending gouce of enjoyment, inter- and instruction. Children delight in an aquarium more than anyhting that can be given them in the home. They will watch with eagerness the plant and animal life Within it, and the thines learned in this practical?’way are never forgotten. To the is est many word aquarium suggests a | Vision of an elaborately constructed glass box ornamented with impossible rock work and strange water plants or a globe in which sickly looking appear and disappear and take they dart hither and Such aquaria have their place, but they are not the kind for the children in the home. There are aquaria which any child can secure and fill with plant and animal jiife. Pretty things can be grown in glass tumblers, and some of the prettiest aquaria I have seen were nothing more than small fruit jars, finger bowls, broken roblets in blocks of wood, ordinary white bowls or dishes, tubs, pails or discouraged and as “a+ SCL a er ee —_— sag pve jee . — <a ll oo Sie AMM tae aR eS PE <— PARROTS WATER HORN FEATHER PURSLANE WORT NITELLA CHARA WATER WEED o— Some Plants Easily Obtained for an Aquarium. tanks; in fact, any wide-mouthed dish easy to get. These are really the best aquariums for children, for they do not spring leaks and become a nuisance, and there is a great world of life which can be raised and kept in them. The great principle upon which all suc- cess with an aquarium depends is this: imi- tate nature. To do this four things are necessary. First, the equilibrium between plant and animal life must be secured and maintained, or that is, there must be as much plant life as animal life in the jar. This is necessary, for the plants furnish food for the beetles, bugs or fishes that may be in the aquarium. They also give off a quantity of oxygen necessary to the life of the animals and take off the poi- sonous carbonic acid gas which passes from the bodies of the animals. To secure this equilibrium there should be some sort of a little bug to every plant or thereabouts. If the proportion is right the water Is puri- fied by the plants and need not be changed. As it evaporates more water must be added. Now for something to put in the aquari- um: Many of the common marsh and pond plants are suitable, but at this season of the year we must use those which can be obtained from the florist. Nothing can be prettier than some of these soft, delicate plants in the water. The eel grass or tape is of the prettiest. Parrot’s feather, duck weed and watercress or oth- ers. Any of these can be secured at the florists at very little expense. If the aquarium is to be a little dish or jar sprinkle upon the: bottom of itt a fine layer of sand, Then get several little pieces of rock about the size of a walnut, if the bowl is large, and smaller if it is a little vessel. These are to anchor the plants and are laid upon the roots. This keeps them from floating upon the surface. The florist can also give you the bugs and beetles you will need, and when the weath. er becomes warm you can catch them your- self. There are a number of little things which may be secured to give animal life to the aquarium. Snails, minnows, little catfish, a gold fish or so and water insects like the diving beetle, the water tiger, the scaven- ger beetle, the water boatman, the giant water bug and the water scorpion may all be secured and easily kept. The aquarium may be kept in the normal temperature of the home, and the life within it will be in- teresting to the entire household.

Although thousands of remarkable ascensions have been made in the last 100 years, statistics which would be valuable are avoided, and the pub- lic is treated instead to hairbreadth escapes from hare-brained recklessness, or else all interest is devoted to giving fictitious value to some special feature or novelty relating to steering or varying the course from the wind currents.

Five hours was con- sumed in the trip, which had been previ- ously made in half the time and without peril, inconvenience or any alteration of a higher altitude. The chief requisite here is a good tight balloon full of gas when starting, with a fair wind, and this has been supplied over and over again with bet- ter results. If the trail rope and balloon sail are to be shown to have any value in diverting the course of an ordinary balloon the ex- periment should be made in conjunction with a second balloon of similar size start- ing at the same time, for comparison of re- sults.

Vg A e % * Cakd FOR DESCRIPTION AND EXPLANATION E. STRAND, under the pseudonym A of Prof. Charles Nyrop, Ph. D., has e written a book of 194 pages on “‘The Kise and Its History.’ It is an entertain- ing moncgraph. Some exerpts follow: Peul Verlainc declares a kiss to be ‘‘the flery accompaniment on the keyboard of the teeth to the eweet songs sung by love in the burning hearts."’ In the dictionary of the Scientific American: The pressure of the mouth upon a body.’’ The kinds of kisses are: The love kiss, the af- fectionate kiss, the peace kiss, the reverential kiss and the friendship kiss. Kierkegaard says of what he calls the ‘‘complete kiss’’ that the kiss between a man and a woman is the most delightful. The most frequent and «at the same time most true characterization of the kiss is that it is aeweet, Kisses are sweet as the airy spirit of woman, gaye a Roumanian lay. Thomas Moore asserts: No rose is as warm As the mouth of my maid, And no dew half as sweet As her kiss. The Holland girls declare: “A kiss without a beard is an egg without salt.’’ According to Tegner, the greatest Swedish poet, the kiss of Love and the kiss of Death are both ihe offspring of eternity. Peder Syv, a Danish“author, says that a_ kiss can-be wiped away, but he adds in a serious way of warning: ‘‘The one who grants a kiss grants fomething else, and any one who has free access to kisses has access to more.’’ All will agree with the Itallan adage: given are never lcst.’’ The kiss of love is a jubilant message from Itp to lip, telling of the craving inherent in the ever young passion of the human breast. It is the fervent prayer of a burning, noble passion. It ig born on the lips of lovers, and it rises a tender and trembling sacrificial flame toward the biue dome of heaven. A true and intense love kiss causes an intoxicat- ing feeling of infinite bliss, of youth, courage and strength. The kiss of love surpasses all other earthly joys. The Swedish poet. Runeherg, says: ‘The an- ge's glory in the first kiss eae by two loy- ers.*’ ‘Kisses The happier of the two is the one who offers the kiss. The Greeks assert that the kiss Is the key to Paradise. Wergeland, the Norwegian poet, declares: ©, bride, the heaven I would sooner miss Than thy embrace, thy glances and thy kiss. Woman knows what charm dwells on her lips and whut power there is in her kiss. Man ts the slave of the kiss. The kiss of love shines like a cut diamond in a thousand colors. It changes eternally like the giitter of the sun on the billows, and expresses all the mools of the mind, from humble submission to the most passionate yearning. The kiss of love is always directed to the mouth. Friedrich von Logan is responsible for the following: If kiss you must, the actual kisser, do kiss the mouth, As else you will the joy be missing; For neither neck nor breast does pout— The mouth alone returns the kissing. ‘*The kiss,’’ says Dorat, ‘‘is a beautiful rose, and all over its trail. On the white bosom flowers sprang up at the roses grow of woman two budding magical call of the kies. “A kiss from =] «= «= @~ «© «© «& . OTHE KISS. oe eS eC Tee ey & = | OO LL Me lh ll Res PECT PEACE -: The Greeks say: ‘‘Wine goes with chestnuts and with young maids goes a kiss morning and even- ing.’’ ‘‘Kiss me,’’ says an Italian lay, ‘‘the Pope for- gives me. Kiss me and I will kiss you and the Pope will forgive both of us.”’ The affectionate kiss is the expression of af- fection in the most comprehensive sense. A _ kiss of that kind is the message of tenderness and faithful devotion; of gratifude, compassion and genuine love in a broad meaning, of high joy and profound grief. The kiss is the expression of that deep and holy feeling which is the bond between parents and chil- dren. The parental kiss is like the guards the child against all evil. The kiss ‘of affection is passed not alone between but between all of the mem- bers of the family, and also where deep and loyal love of this kind exists among men and women. When Naomi took fare well of the wives of her good angel who parents and children, gy gg a gy gy ay gy gy ty gy ag, a we | REVERENCE Ke sons she kissed them, and then they wept; Orfa kissed her busband’s mother, while Ruth clung to her. When Moses went to meet his father-in-law he bowed and kissed him. When Jacob, after wrestling with the Lord, found Esau, the latter ran to meet him, embraced him and kissed him. The family kiss was much in vogue among the Romans. The old Greeks also speak highly of the kiss of affection. The kiss of death is the last tender evidence of love shown those to whom we have been attached. Even as an expression of the deep super-sensual love the kiss plays an important role in the early Christian church. Christ said: ‘‘Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you,’’ and the members of His church gave each other peace symbolically with a kiss. In his letter to the Romans Paul says: exch other with a holy kiss,’’ The respectful kiss is the expression of respect and esteem. Princess Margaret of Scotland came one day through a hall where Alain Chartier sat **Salute ae 6 al’. SSF Frienosnip os sleeping in a chair. When she saw him she went hurriedly to the slumbering poet and kissed him on the mouth. Those who were with her were surprised, for nature had In Chartier’s case per- mitted a grand and beautiful spirit to find lodg- ment in a very ugly body. Margaret told them not to wonder, for it was not the man she had kissed, but only the mouth that had spoken so many golden words. In olden days children were compelled to kiss the switch whereby they bad been punished. A peculiar kiss of respect is to kiss one’s own hand before extending it. to the person who is to be honored ot Before receiving a present for which one feels very thankful. This old custom is still kept up among the peasants in Denmark and also in portions of Germany., The kiss of friendship is, generally speaking, given only by ladies to ladies, though it ig not for- bidden to be exchanged between pefsons of the different sexes, especially if there is great differ- ence of age. In Iceland it is generally used in saluting per- sons. In Germany, military officers and students, merchants and officials all regale each other with smacking kisses, generally on the cheek. In France and in Italy no parting takes place without kissing, as hand shaking is entirely too cold in these latitudes. | WHAT THE GREAT OF THE EARTH HAVE SAID OF THE CARESS, ITS PECULIAR” # OFFICES * AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE, Among the ancient Hebrews it wae customary for friends to whenever they met, impressing the kiss on hands and cheeks and on the and shoulders, so that it wat pd as well as all her Parse ve: him on the mouth. In Marie de France Graelan, the qneen sends for Graelan in order make his acquaintance, and when he presents him- self she meets him with a cordial kiss. The kissing habit was just as prevalent in Fng- land.

People kiss when they meet, when they part and wherever they be or whatever they do. And fan® think, if you knew how delicate these English kisses are and how deliciously they eamell, you would then, my dear Faustus, wish to England for life.’’ ' The kiss has always been indispensable at weddings. At the close of the ceremony the bride was stripped of her wedding costume and placed with only her linen on in the bed, where she, sit- ting upright, received the kisses of every guest. At all dances and balls kissing was very much in evidence. Montaigne describes a play, witnessed by himself in Augsburg in 1580. The ladies sit’ in two rows along one wall of the room. Thea’ the gentlemen walk over to them and make thelr bows and kiss their hands, while the ladies rise. Then the gentleman places his arm around the waist of the lady and kisses her mouth, putting his cheek close to hers Whether it is a kiss on the mouth or the cheek he gives her is not told, but’ it is well known that kisses on the lips were most general. The kiss dance is still in existence in Get- many. In France you must kiss the cards before you begin to play. You are then sure to win. In Denmark it is your duty to kiss the brea? you may have dropped. Now may each and every man Kiss as best he will and can; Only I and my sweet miss Know the proper way to kiss, = H $100, 000 RAILROAD MAP FOK THE PARIS EXPOSITION. RAILROAD man of the United States to cost $100,000 will be a striking feat- ure of the American exhibit at the Paris Exposition in 1900. This map will be 230 feet long and M0 feet high, 32,200 square feet of surface. It made of papier mache. Every line of rail- road, as Well as telegraph, telephone and express lines, steamship lines on fhe great lakes and ports of entry for transatlantic eteamship lines will be shown. Mountains, rivers and other features will also be brought out, and altogether the map will be something that w'll attract the attention of every visitor at the expo- sition, and give him an idea of the vast transportation of the United States. As about 100 different lines of railroad will be represented, the cost to each company will hardly exceed $1000. It is proposed that the map shall be an outdoor display for there is no building to be constructed on the exposition grounds that could hold it. The most desirable location for it would be just outside the exposition grounds at the end of some @venue or similar place, and so conspicuous ® structure would be visible from practi- cally all parts of the exposition. When all the details regarding the mat- ter have been decided upon by the rail- roads the construction work proper will begin in Paris, under the personal direc- @ion, it is probable, of Mr. C. B. Maug- ham of Chicago, who first suggested the idea. He interested the presidents of the Toads centering in that city some time ago and then called the attention of the presidents of the leading railway systems of the country to it. It is proposed to bulld a working model in this country so that all points likely to develop in construc- tion could be settled upon and the exhibit covering will be interests % Made practically perfect. When the construction begins in Paris a ‘Steel framework something after the style te Of the skyscraper will be erected.

All lines of railways will be marked in this way, and in the multi- plicity of tapes tags will be used to keep the various railroad routes distinct until the work is done. Around the base of these nails, which will be well insulated, is to be done the wiring for the electrical effects, the wiring to ac- company the work of marking out the routes’ of the various lines of railroad. These wires are to be brought to the sur- face of the map at various points to be selected, and the size of the Hghts is yet to be decided upon. When every line of road in the country has been marked and the wiring completed, staff or other inaterial is to be used for filling in, the tops of the nails affording an accurate index for all elevations and de- pressions, while the tapes will be left to in- dicate the railroad routes. Under each line of tapes is to be made a little trough, ex- posing the electric light wires. In these lit- tle troughs will be placed the small bulbs or electric lights that will be specially made for marking the routes, and in this way it is possible to give the effect of a solid line of light. When the lights have been jn- serted in these troughs the tapes are to be removed and the spaces around the lights filling in with map making material. Then is the time for the master map maker to get to work to bring out the nat- ural effects of the country, showing the mountains, lake and rivers, and especially the finer scenic places along the lines of the various railroade. in miniature. When he has finished the panoramic artist will take hold and paint the map, and then will be presented the United States in relief, with every prominent and noteworthy feature al- luringly displayed. * un See ee eee steal strength made in THE AMERICAN CUPID IS THE AMERICAN ARTIST'S MOST NOTABLE BIT OF IDEALISM.

But there are two or three famil- iar figures of artistic fancy which the American portrayer may regard as entirely his own. The American Santa Clauée, as guished from the Scandinavian St. Nich- olas and the German Kris Kringle, is one instance, and the angel without wings and the best pictures of the American girl her- self are products of American genius, Cupid, however, is the most striking in- stance of that American idealism which has the courage of its own convictions to such an extent that it has at last compelled the European artist to adopt it. distin- human oh onl and p S [2 echuren| “ « wy. 1 GRANVINLR Smut 2 Charles Dana Gibson, whose Cupid is al- most as famous as his tall American girl, is said to have used the little fellow to his own advantage more than once. For in- stance it is noticeable that he drew more Cupids during hig courtship preceding his marriage than at any other time, and some of his pictures of that period speak volumes for his state of mind and heart. F. S. Church, though using what he calls the conventional Cupid, has returned to nature with him, taking him out into ‘the woods and fields and associating him with beasts and birds. The polar bear and the pelican are among the little god’s best friends when Mr. Church is painting him. Cc. Y¥. Turner introduced some ravishing little Cupids into his mural paintings in the Waldorf-Astoria. One of the most original artists in the de- piction of Cupid = is Max Bachman, the i SB sculptor, who fashioned out of clay his series of ‘“‘Cupids of All Nations,’’ each so unmistakably characteristic of the race to which he belonged that ithere was no need of a label. A. B. Wenzell, whose popularity with the art worshipers of society is as great as Gibson’s, introduces many Cupids into his pictures, and frequently employs the chil‘- ish figure all alone as illustrations of emo- tional stories with few “situations,” where the greatest strain 's upon the imagination of the artist and so much depends upon his power to portray the author’s ideal.

Tug-of-war contests are among the regu- larly contested events in the St. Louis Turner societies. Every year the teams from the various societies decide the city championship, and there are intervening contests for special trophies, This year the Marquette trophy, a silver cup, was won by the North St. Louis Turners, with Max Stopp, 100 pounds, at the anchor; Stephen Cordes, 150 pounds, on the first cleat; Charles Heink, 140 pounds, on the second cleat, and Eugene Schmidt, 150 pounds, on the third cleat.

We had dug down about 14 feet to the pipe-clay stratum, and were shuffling around in the bottom of the shaft: more dead than alive from the heat. Old Ambrose lit his pipe and leaned against the side of the hole for a rest. Just then I etreck something with my pick. I turned it up so the light could strike #, and by jimminy frost! it was a2 hunk of gold as big as a Hubbard squash. “Well, that minute I knew our fortune was made, Old Ambrose got excited, and jumped around till I thought he’d have the whole diggings down upon us. Charley and I kept cool and covered the nugget up in the earth and didn’t go nigh it for the rest the day. After night we lugged the beauty to our tent and covered it up in the bedding. That evening was a mighty anxious one, for the boys were Ilable to liquidate, and we didn’t know what minute they'd come jin and turn our whole caboose upside down. About midnight we set to work as quiet as possible with our picks and sunk a shaft down about six feet un- derneath the table in the tent and buried the nugget out of sight. For three long months it stayed there, with us eating over it, walking over it, sleeping on it and dreaming on it, and net a soul at the dig- ginge any the wiser. “Well, about the middle of November we bought a horse and cart and lit out for Mel- bourne, having in the meantime dug out our claim and piled up enough of the yel- low stuff to carry us to London. It took ts four days and four nights to reach Mel- bourne, and I hardly slept a wink on the way. The nugget was packed up Jn a rough box with some old clothes, and we told every one we met that wé were going to New Zealand. We carried no arms with us for fear of being suspected, “We sailed for Englend in a vessel called the Shaftsborough, paying 174 half crowns export duty on the nugget and 9 pounds in- surance, When we reached London we found the news had got there before Ua, and we thought nothing of having a dozen Lords and Dukes for breakfast while the craze lasted. The Crystal Palace was boome- ing then, but it was a flyspeck on the map of the world to us for more than a week, We sold our beauty to the Bank of Enge land for 10,00 pounds sterling, my brother and I dividing the profits equally and pool- ing in handsomely for old Ambrose. How much did it weigh? The heft of that nug- get was just M6 pounds 4 ounces and P| pennyweights, and when {it was ametted it was found to be 23% karats fine, containing only 10 ounces of dross. For some time it was exhibited in the British Museum by permission of the bank, and there is «@ cast of it there now, as well as one at Kingston College, Ontario. “While in London we were presented te the Queen.

Hop- kins and Col. Samuel W. Gumpertz are lacking. It is now believed that it was the same old rumor that built theaters for Col. Hopkins in divers parts of St. Louis last fall. Hopkins may return to St. Louis— everybody who knows him hopes he will— but the best information now is that if he does it will be as manager for a house al- ready established. Nobody knows which at will be. It pays to give the public what it wants. The public wanted James K. Hackett in “Rupert of Hentzau”’ and the Century did @ good business last week in spite of the bitter weather. Mr. Hackett is entitled to a place on the list of attractions who can play two weeks in St. Louis. Mr. Spalding should remember this when he makes his bookings for next summer. D EVELOPMENTS about the new the- Minnie Radcliffe, who succeeds Jessaline Rogers as leading woman at the Imperial Theater, has been on the stage about six years. She appeared with Joseph Jeffer- son, Sol Smith Russell and other actors of note before she became leading woman in James O’Neill’s company, and she played in stock companies in Philadelphia and Chicago. She originated prominent parts in Russell’s “April Weather,’’ ‘‘Poor Rela- tion” .and ‘‘Peaceful Valley’’ during the two seasons she was with him. She will open at the Imperial in “The English Rose,’’ playing the English girl, whose so- briquet is the title, a week from to-day. Hobart Bosworth of the Grand stock company is-an expert skater and enjoyed the cold weather last week. When he cannot get natural ice he patronizes the ice rink, and may be seen there nearly every afternoon. He is invariably alone and does not appear to know that any one recognizes him, Manager Gumpertz of the Imperial is having the scenery painted for “The En- glish Rose,” a romantic drama of Irish life by Robert Buchanan and George R. Sims. The first act shows the ruins of Ballyveeney Castle, near Clew Bay in Gal- Way. Act two hae three scenes, the steeple course near Westport, the path in the mountains, and the ‘“‘Devil’s Bridge.””’ The action of the fourth and last act takes in a rustic chapel overlooking the sea. The “English Rose’’ was first produced by the famous Boston stock company, playing at the old Museum. Among the offerings for next week are the following: Olympic, W. H. Crane in his new play, “‘The Head of the Family ;”’ Century, Anna Held in “The French Maid; Havlin’s, John and Emma Ray in “A Hot Old Time.” Nellette Reed of the Imperial has had printed a neat little quarto pamphlet con- taining reviews of her work in *“Drink,”’ “Little Em’ly,” “A Midsummer-Night’s Dream” and “Merry Wives of Windsor.” There are numerous clippings from the newspapers of St. Louis, Montreal, New a ge other cities.

The young ac- tor’s home is in St. Louls, and he is a gon of Dr. H. J. Messing of 4439 Delmar bl. He has been very successful in the East, and for several months has been under con- tract with the Keith circuit in the United States and Canada. He has many friends in St. Louls who have watched his steady advancement with interest, and the news that he has closed a contract with Froh- man will be received with great pleasure, ' —_o—_—. JAMES O'NEILL'S NEW VENTURE. AMES O'NEILL, who closed an en- gagement at the Olympic last night, will invade New York in a few weeks with a dramatization of “The Three Guardsmen” which he believes is vastly better than that in which Sothern is play- ing and far superior to that in which young Salvini made a name for himself as & ro- mantic actor. It is the Same version that Beerbohm Tree is presenting with great success in England. Mr. O'Neill likes it. If you know him, and can get him to talk about it. he will tell you how it differs from other dramatt- zations of Dumas’ great work; how the two great roles are D’Artagnan and Mi- lady; how Athos is A fine character on whose correct interpretation depends the success of the prologue: how there is a great battle of wits between D'Artagnan and Milady, and how lovemaking is an incident of very little importance in the characterization of the leading role The company engaged for the New York Venture is strong. Wilton Lackaye is en- gaged to play Athos, Augustus Cook Rona- cleux, and Margaret Anglin, now Richard Manefie!d's leading woman, Constance Ma- rie Burroughs will play Milady. Ther are others in the cast of the same sheate and it is evidently Mr. O’NeilI’s Purpose to give New York a company worth talking about. He says the production wilt be as good as the cast, and that his purpose is to show himself in the flercest light of com pet'tion. It & enteftaining to hear Mr. O’Neti discuss himself and “Monte Cristo,” je Pe : . em get not starve,” said he the other day, “but I would die of ennui. Acting has become my life. It is my work, and after a man does a certain kind of work till he grows to love it he can’t quit it. I have trouble in convincing myself that I am no longer a young man, and I think a wise man should take care that he be the last one to realize that disagreeable fact. I take pleasure in the knowledge that I am the cldest young actor in the business, ‘And that forces me to tell a story on myself. A Chicago man was invited to see me play in ‘Monte Cristo.’ ‘No,’ said he, ‘I don’t care to see O’Neill in a ro- mantic role; he must be 8) years old.’ ‘You're wrong, man,’ said his friend, ‘he’s a young fellow of 20 and looks 20.’ ‘**Bah,’ said the Chicago man, ‘didn’t I see him play Cardinal Woolsey with Char- lotte Cushman in ’73, and wasn’t he gray- haired and decrepit then?’ ”’ “It wasn’t jong after you appeared with Cushman that you played Romeo to Ade- laide Nielson’s Juliet,’ said a friend, “No, not long,’ said Mr. O’Neill. Then the friend was moved to tell how Nielson said in London that the best Romeo she ever played with was “a little Irishman in America named Jimmie O’Neill.”’ The subject of conversation was changed, and young Mr. Hackett came up for dis- cussion. Mr. O’Neill approved of him, and after saying so, remarked that he used to play Hotspur to the Falstaff of the young actor’s father 30 years ago. “And that’s something very few young actors can say—that they were on the stags in romantic roles 30 years ago,” said Mr. O’Neill, laughing at his image in the mir- ror. Mr. O’Neill feels that he is still young enough to laugh at old age. The record shows that he was born in Ireland in 15849. > HYMEN AND MOMUS. S IT well for the actress to take a hus- band? is a question that is being dis- cussed now as it had been many times in the past. The answer that naturally Suggests itself is: Does the actress feel that she wants a husband bad enough to afford such a luxury? However, such answers do not satisfy the sociological inquirer. He wants to know why Hymen and Momus cannot plow the same furrow. Why a woman accus- temed to the public adulation of what she is not should not yearn for the private love and admiration of what she is. I have asked several actresses what they thought about the problem and they all discussed it earnestly. One of the number was Miss Minnie Seligman of the Grand Opera House Stock Company. She eaid: “I think it is unwise for a woman on the etage to wed except under certain condi- tions. One is that her husband be a pro- fessional of higher standing than herself and that they are so situated that they need not be separated. There is no reason why such a couple should not be happy, provided, of course, they love one another and their love is based on the firm ground of esteem and similar tastes. A professional woman might also wed a man not con- nected with the stage and be happy, pro- vided she loved him well enough to aban- don her art and he had tact enough to prevent her regretting it. As a general thing, however, I think persons of artistic temperament are better unwed. They are creatures of impulse and when measured by the standard of conventionality are likely to be misunderstood.” Fleanor Moretti, one of the most expert delineators of female villains on the Amer- ican stage, said, during her last visit to St. Louis: “An actress should know all emotions that she attempts to portray, but knowledge does not necessarily mean ex- perience. If it did no single woman could depict the character of a wife. It is held by some persons that marriage broadens a woman’s mind and nature. I don’t be- lieve it. I do believe though that a woman . ~. 6 o i «65 NARIE @e, z #! CPLeste ae bins ie : ¥ #5.

The young man goes to New York to select members for a church choir and the father goes along with him, secretly intending to show the son a little of the town. The father falls in with a theatrical manager and lets him into the plot. The manager says that he will introduce the son at a private dinner party to a number of chorus girls, telling him that they are concert singers. To this the father agrees and tromises to remain concealed to witness the fun. An ex-leading lady of the theater puts in an appearance and tells the man- ager the story of her life after leaving the stage. The smell of the footlights brings back old longings and the result is that ashe, too, is invited to the supper party to renew old acquaintances. When all are gathered the ex-leading lady discovers that the good young man is her flance. She is disconcerted for a moment, but finally de- termines to bluff it out and disclaims all previous acqua!ntance, informing him that it is a case of mistaken identity. She in- terrogates the young man as to his sw hts | New | in ang “3 OMe re oe Te he Bo A ae xt Sa . * a af Era] ae + en . Pont 4 Whew ee ee Sop ree RO, ea fe) : m2 ih SP ee.

When the fun is at its he'ght the minister and the mother of the young man put in an ap- pearance and there is a terrible scene. The father comes from his hiding place and upbraids the mother for bringing UD her son in the wrong path, the ex-leading lady reveals herself to her lover, and all is forg:ven. The principal characters are in the hands of Otis Harlan and William Devere. The piece will be presented here under Mr. Hoyt’s personal direction, assisted by Celia Clay, Ed Wonn, Lloyd Wilson, Charles Zimmerman, Ed Garv‘e, Robert Cowan, Jules Jordan, Clarise Agnew, Hattie Will- iams, Cecile Sands, Sidney Mansfield, Harry Dongehan and Maie Lawrie. ROMANCE OF tts A MOO ER —_—-- &--—— deville offering for the week. Musical fea. tures will be presented by the Four Colum. bians, instrumentalists and vocalists, Hines and Remington, character comedians and portrayers of New York types, will be seen in their new comedy, “The Road Queen,” which introduces Miss Earle Remington as “The New Woman Tramp.” Miss Rem- ington is said to have been the first char- acter actress to introduce the New York East Side tough girl upon the stage. Rice and Cady, German dialect comedians and acrobats, in.a German comedy sketch; Mathews and Harris in a comedy skit en- titled, “Caught Napping; Clayto and Clar- ice, whose juvenile act, introducing the local type of “ragger,”” was recently so succesa- ful at the Columbia; Bobby Ralston, dimin- utive comedian of original methods, and several other performers complete the bill for the week. Marie Wainwright, who has starred in the legitimate for several years, will ap- pear at Haviin’s Theater, beginning with the matinee to-day, in “Shall We Forgive Her?” It is an English play, and will be produced here under the direction of Jacob Litt. The story opens in the interior of Australia, where the first act takes place, and the scene is then transferred to rural England. It is the old, old Magdalen story, but in this case the author is credited with having turned out a very interesting play. It is a melodrama without mechanical ef- fects—a play which gets its strength from the dramatist and not from the stage car- penter. It is said to have scenes of strong emotional intensity and an abundance of excellent comedy. Manager Jacob Litt has had a lot of new scenery painted, and the cast is alleged to be an able one, “East Lynne” will be the bill at the Thursday and Saturday matinees and Friday night, Miss Wainwright appearing in the dual role. The Vanity Fair Company will play @ re- turn date at the Standard this week, be- ginning with the matinee to-day. It is claimed that the show has been reorganized and new specialties added. Among the new features ig Mme. Dixie, a recent addition to vaudeville, who sings popular songs. Ralph Johnson does a trick bicycle act. CLARICE AGNEW CENTURY. “Jack and the Beanstalk’’ is coming to the Olympic to-night for a run of a week, and people who saw it last season are pleased. It is an extravaganza full of fun and pretty girls, with enough music to justify the employment of women and men who can sing. There is a skeleton of a story purporting to be an account of the adventures of Jack, the Giant Killer. The characters are those of the nursery rhymes and legends. There are Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, Old King Cole, Little Miss Muf- fet, Sinbad, fairies, giants and other creat- ures dear to memory. The company has been changed somewhat since last year, but there are several of the old favorites in the cast. Jack will be impersonated Dy Emilie Beaupre, who is said to be a very beautiful young woman with an excellent voice. Marie Celeste is Mistress Mary, and those who have seen her in “The sgrownies,” “One Round of Pleasure,” or mm opera will recognize her fitness for the role. Nell'e Lynch is again the Little Miss Muf- fet. Harry Kelly as Sinbad, Rose Snow as the Queen Dowager, and-H. M. Morse 4s the Giant, are familiar in these characters. Harry Clay Blaine ‘s now Old King Cole, Hattie Moore row plays the part of Mother Hubbard. To-morrow night Treasurer Bud Mantz of the Olympic will have a benefit. There has been a large advance sale and Mr. Mantz’s friends will take care that it will be large. “A Lottery of Love” is the bill for this week at the Grand Opera House, It is an adaptation from the French, and was played several years ago with great suc- cess by an Augustin Daly company. In the Original cast were Ada Rehan, John Drew, the late James Lewis and Mrs. John Gil- bert. Mr. Heinman, the new scenic artist of the Grand, is expected to do his share toward giving the St. Louis company con- genial surroundings in a play one act of which calls for a cottage at Newport, with a broad sweep of ocean view. The cast of the play will be as follows: Adolphus Double Dot Hobart Bosworth . Sam Merrimack et ag Her ngerous Maher = Seligman Ann Miss Octavia yoentt Joe Miss Seott In going to Augustin Daly for plays Man- ager Giffen demonstrates that the Tri- State Amusement Co. is willing to spend money to get what the public wants, for the Daly royalties come high, n Mrs. “Othello” is the offering at the Imperial this week. Lawrence Hanley returns to the company after an absence of over two months to play the title role. It was one of the most’ popular things he did last season. It is announced that Mr. Hanley has completely regained his health and spirite, and is ripe to play “my noble Moor.” The part of Iago falls to that excellent villain, Frank Losee. Malcolm Williams is cast as the chivalrous, but over-confiding Cassio. lIago’s poor dupe, Roderigo, will be presented by Gus Weitn- berg, who is said to be more familiar with classic roles than the public wots of. Warn- ing is given, however, that Mr. Weinberg must be taken seriously this week. Ed- mund D. Lyons directs the stage and plays the Duke of Venice. Brabantio goes to Hugh Ford. Montano, the predecessor of Othello at Cyprus, has been bestowed on Taylor Carroll. Alfred Burnham plays Gratanio and Jack Ravold Lodovico. Miss Grace Henderson will be the gentle Des- demona. Modjeska and Thomas Keene were her tutors in Shakspearian roles. Miss Nellete Reed will be seen to decided advantage as Emilia, the wife of Iago. ee oS. ’ P : = Estee? : Ay ‘ va - on. g MARIE WAINWRIGHT SS HAVING Others are: Lowell and Lowell, eccentric acrobats and contortionists; Farrell and Taylor. black face musical team; Morrissey and Rich, Emery and Marlow, and Newell and Shevett. ——-—— The 237th Kunkel popular concert takes place Thursday night at Association Hall, Y.

A few days later—this was three weeks ago—a crowd of revenue officers swooped down on Clements’ house, destroyed his nice, new copper still, overturned 3 gallons of his best whisky—all he had on hand, in fact—and arrested the haughty and defiant father of Emma.

PRETTY GAMES. FOR CHILDREN. Ee PLAY the amusing game of “Potae- toes” requires a basket of potatoes, some large and some small, just as one might expect to find them. They are then Jaid in a line about a foot apart across the floor. One person at a time kneels and walks along on his or her knees and tries with a teaspoon to gather up the potatoes again and put them in the basket. This ia far more 4ifficult than it appears, and often the most ludicrous accidents occur, The others follow in turn, and a timekeeper has kept account of the length of time each has spent trying to pick up the potatoes. The one who gathers them in the shortest time wins a prize, The miser’s grab-bag is another laugh- able game.

That country was compared to a family living in an alley and. keeping a coach and four.

Squash plant which we must not fail to notice, and this is the fact that these first two leaves of the plantlet came out of the seed and did not grow out of the plant it- self. We must notice, too, that these leaves are much smaller when they are first drawn out of the seed than they are when the plantlet has straightened itself up. That is, these leaves in- crease very much in size after they reach the light and air. The roots of the plantlet are now established in the soil and are taking in food which enables the plant to grow.

The questions asked of a woman by a male physician are embarrassing and frequently re- volting to a sensitive nature. In consequence the whole truth is not told! This makes it dif- ficult for female troubles to be successfully treated, and is the reason so many women grow worse rather than better. . _ } Mrs. Lucy A. Loucnery’ of New Lebanon, Ind., describes how wretched she was until she received Mrs. Pink-, ham’s help: Deas Mrs. Pixcuam:—lI propped myself in a chair and wrote to you, and as soon as I commenced to take your Vege- table Compound I began to improve. I had suffered with severe painsin my hips, back and head. The doctor said I had bladder trouble and falling of the womb. I had spells when, if I did not sit down, I would fall. I was sleepy all the time. I was also troubled with leucorrhcea and itching piles. F ANY one were to plant.seeds of a | Hubbard or Boston squash in loose, warm earth in a pan or box, and were then to leave the parcel for a week or ten days, he would find, upon his return a colony of plants like that shown in figure one. If he had not planted the seeds himself or had not seen. such plants before, he would not believe that these curious plants would ever grow into squash vines, so dif- ferent are they from the vines which we know in the garden. This, itself, is a most curious fact—this wonderful difference be- tween the first and lower stages of all plants, and it Senich Pléet The Truc Leaves Developing. —— n oo ee _Vapeth oreo: eae Ni ia UL lids be ii FIR Des ah hl a Pewee Mo ¢ Ree A he TRCher ny aes Pt he Br a eS ey Oo al eR a ah pg ARR a a PP eetea ee PCy Saco SNae.

To the Copeland practice there was aid21 four years ago a plan of treatment by which Head Noises and Deafness were cured. Doctor Copeland showed that Head Noises and Deafness were due largely to disease that had fastened on the Ear Tubes and set up inflammation which obstructed the pas- sage of sound. To relieve Head Noises and to cure Deafness Doctor Copeland stated there was but one sure and safe way—to root out the disease that caused the lost hearing. During these four years Doctor Copeland has cured Deaf people by scores and hundreds and has relieved thousands of Cistracting Head Noises. Not only that, but by the same plan of treatment by which the cure of Deafness was made possible, the cure of ALI, CATARRHAL CONDITIONS was made surer in a much shorter period of treatment. NOTHING SO GOOD FOR DEAFNESS AS THE COPELAND TREATMENT. During the unprecedented and gratifying success in Doctor Copeland’s prac- tice for the past four years, there have been nienty of Doctors claiming to cure Dyspepsia and Rheumatism and even Consumntion, but each with a different plan; and there have been plenty of people selling medicines claiming to cure such diseases, but there have been no people trying to compete with the Cope- land treatment for Deafness for the very good reason that the Copeland treat- ment has proven itself.to be the only one that is practical, reliable and sure. The cure of Deafness and Head Noises requires more learning and skill and ex per- ience than tthe average Joctor possesses, so he lets this nart of doctoring alone, THE LATEST ADVANCE IN THE TREATMENT OF EAR TROUBLES. ; There were, however, some cases of Deafness and some cases of,Catarrh that this treatment did not cure, because by the means Doctor Copeland employed he could not apply the curative medication to all the parts in the Ear Tubes and “along the Breathing Tract that were diseased. Doctor Copeland has been labor- ing and experimenting during these four years to overcome the obstacles that stood in the way ofthe proper and direct application of his medicines to all diseased situations. He has now accomplished what he sought for and this im- provement is the crowning achievement of his long and faithful practice in curing the sick and relieving the afflicted. A FREE DEMONSTRATION, LIMITED IN TIME ONLY. So striking and superior are the results of his Newest Treatment over his former treatment and all other treatments, and so gratified is Doctor Copeland over what he has accomplished, that he desires the people and the doctors alike Shall learn its workings and test its efficacy, and he is determined that the knowledge of its benefits shall be spread broadcast in as short a time as pos- sible. With this end in view, Doctcr Copeland offered a free practical demons- tration during January. He has now decided to continue this free demonstra - tion during the present month, the month of February—provided, however that the numbers accepting 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. Therefore, those desiring to take advantage of this offer should make their application early, thus avoiding th crowds during the last days of the free demonstration. ¥ . This Is the Offer: All persons, whether they suffer from Catarrh in the Nesal Passages, in the Chambsrs of the Head, in the Tubes, will be given the ot the Head, in the Throat or Chest First Week’s Treatment, Beginning the first day they come to the office, obligation to pay, together with all medicines.

It may happen, however—as it did in a pan of seeds which I sowed a few days ago—that one or two of the plants may look like that shown in Fig. 2. Here the seed seems to have come up on top of the plant, and one is reminded of the curious way in which beans come up on the stalk of the young plant. If we were to study the matter, however,—as we may do at a future time—we should find a great difference in the ways in which the squashes and the beans raise their seeds out of the ground. It is ——— our pur- pose to co mM pare Germination Just the squash Beginning. and the bean at this -time, but we are curious to know why one of these squash Squash Plant W biebh has Brought the Seed-ioats Out of the Ground. others do not. the ground whilst all the In order to find out why it is what we call an experiment. We may first pull up the two plants. The first one (Fig. 1) will be seen to have the seed-coats still attached to the very lowest part of the stalk below the soil, but the other plant has no seed at that point. We will now plant more seeds, a dozen or more of them, so that we shall have enough to examine two or three times a day for several days. A | day or two after the seeds are planted, we shall find a little point or root-like portion breaking out of the sharp end of the seed, as shown in Fig. 3. A day later, this portion has grown to be as long as the seed itself (Fig. 4), and it has turned directly downwards into the soil. But there is another most curious thing about this germinating seed. Just where the root is breaking out of the seed (shown at a in Fig. 4), there is a little peg or projection. In Fig. 5, about a day later, the root. has frown still longer, and this peg neems to be forcing the seed apart. In Fig. 6, however, it will be seen that the seed-coats are really being forced apart by the stem or stalk above the peg for this stem is now growing longer. The lower lobe of the seed has attached to the peg (seen at a, Fig. 6), and the seed-leaves are trying to back out of the seed. Fig. 7, shows the seed still a day later. The root has now produced many branches and has thoroughly estab- lished itself in the soil. The top is also growing rapidly and is still backing out of the seed, and the seed-coats are still firmly held by the obstinate peg. Whilst we have been seeing all these curious things in the seeds which we have dug up, she plantlets which we have not dis- turbed have been com- ing though the soil. If we were to/ see the plant in Fig. 7, as it was *"’ooming up,”’ it would look like Fig. 8 It 1s tugging away trying to get its head out of the bonnet which is pegged down underneath the soil, and it has “got its back up” in the opera- tion. In Fig. 9, it has es- caped from its trap and it is laughing and growing in delight. It must now straighten itself up, as it is doing in Fig. 10, and it is soon standing proud and straight as in Fig. 1. We now see that the reason why the seed came up on the plant in Fig. 2, is because in some way the peg did not hold the seed-coats down (see Fig. 13), and the expanding leaves are pinched to- gether, and they must The Root and Peg a - Third Day of Root Growth.

The point of the root is no longer at DD. however, but has moved on to F. The root, therefore, has grown almost wholly in the end portion, Now let us jnake a similar experiment with the stem or stalk. We will mark a young stem, as at A in Fig. 14; but the next day we shall find that these marks are farther apart than wken we made them (B, Fig. 14). The marks have all raised themselves above the ground as the plant has grown. The stem, therefore, has grown between the joints rather than from the end.

It should also be said that the root of the common pumpkin, and of the sum- mer bush squashes, is too fibrous and branchy for this test. It should be stated, that the root does not grow at its very tip, but chiefly in a narrow zone just back of the tip; but the determination of this point is ratner too difficult for the beginner. ————— —_—_—_ HONING PIGEONS AND NEWSPAPERS.

Gome of the evening papers in the Brit- ish provinces possess birds that are noted, some of them having good records, The Eq@inburgh Evening Dispatch has a notable lot of birds, and they are found an im- mense aid in the particular duty allotted to them—the carrying to the office of re- porters’ copy from the many cricket, football and sporting fields that yew jy a : a at ee All women who suffer should secure Mrs, Pinkham’s counsel. People thought that my end was near. Had it not been for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and advice, I would have been dead and buried long ago. I hope that this letter may be the means of helping all women who suffer as I did. Women understand women better than’ men can.

On the morning of the days when they are to be worked they are sparingly fed. Like schoolboys, liber- ated from school, pigeons, if they are hun- gry, will hurry home, and when they do arrive there is always a good feed of peas or corn awaiting them. The reporter writes his copy on what is known as “flimsy’’—a light oiled paper— and uses carbonized paper to obtain a duplicate. The copy is attached to the leg of the bird by means of elastic bands. At the football or cricket matches the toss!ngs of the birds from time to time are always watched by the crowds with great interest. The arrangement at the newspaper offices for trapping the birds and taking the copy is rather ingenious. There is a clear fly in for the pigeons through the customary opening into a small, well-lighted compart- ment in the loft. The floor of this small chamber is a movable plate, nicely adjust- ed, so that the moment the pigeon alights on it two things occur. The weight of the bird liberates a catch and a wire portcuills noisélessly falls and closes the entrance. At the same time an electric circuit is formed and a bell rings in the sub-editor’s room to give notice of the arrival of the bird. The pigeon is thus its own jailer and herald. ee NOT HOW CHEAP—BUT HOW GOOD. CURE A COLD IN ONE NIGHT, TAKE PARKER’S CASCARA-QUININE TAB- LETS. THEY PREVENT LaGRIPPE AND PNEUMONIA.

( TTT ITIL BANDIT JESSE R. THOMAS I. HUNT of Scotts. [) ville, Ky., is a “dead ringer’ for Jesse James, the dead bandit. Sept. 3, 1880, as the old stage was being driven along the road between Mammota Cave and Cave City, the driver and pas- sengers little dreaming of robbera, two men rode from the bushes, and present- ing pistols ordered the driver to halt and the passengers to alight from the stage. The passengers were Ss. M. Shelton of Chattanooga, Tenn.; Judge R. H. Roun- tree, Miss Rountree and P. S. Rountree of Fairmount, Minn., and J. E. Craig of Laurenceville, Ga. Seeing that discretion would be the bet- ter part of valor, the passengers stood forth and delivered. They were then made to get in the stage and the driver ordered to move on. Part of the booty secured was the watch of Judge Rowntree, 4 very valuable one, with the name of the Judge engraved in the case. A fine diamond ring of Miss Rountree’s was also taken. All of that section of Kefjtucky was worked up over the robbery apd the peo ple were afraid to venture out unless heav- armed. } x Jov Pay 2 i». * ~ 3 ‘ Oy. ge Pag Ft Vlei Ge Bere % sng we * JAMES’ DOUBLE ISLI VING IN KENTUC Jesse James.

By the Author of “THE GHOST OF GOAT TERRACE: OR. HAUNTED BY A HARLEM HACK-DRIVER.” CHAP. 1. The dominie was saying grace Upon the humble food: Without, a duck with weening face, Was counting of her brood. —Robert Ingersell. “Would you enjoy a dish of cold potatoes?” Geraldine” Jeroloman’s voice trembled with yathos as she spoke, for though she rolled in diamonds herself, she knew that, next to rats, nothing was so gnawing as hunger. Lispenard Lyppyncotie put his handkerchief to his eyes to keep back the tears of gratitude, all of which he wished to express through his mouth. “Yes,” he answered, “if you have any old cold potatoes, I think I should enjoy them very much; thank you kindly.” Born of “400” parents, and left with nothing but his name, to shuffle for himself, while still an infant in swaddling clothes, the young clubman’s life had been a romantic one. Yet he always held his head up and wore lavender spats. But Geraldine Jeroloman knew the truth—she knew that Lispenard Lyppyncotte had long been obliged to wear undergarments of mosquito-net- ting to prevent the food from being shaken from his system when his heart beat. “and wouldn’t you like me to take the jackets off them for you?” she kindly asked, as she beheld him bending greedily over the spuds. “Oh, no, no, no, no, no,” he stammered, “the jackets will help warm me up.” CHAP. 2. 5 The pugilist then rubbed his ear To neutralize “the touch.” Said he: “Although I feel you're near— I miss you very much.” —The Harlem Coffee-Cooler. That Geraldine ‘Jeroloman worshipped the very ground that Lispenard Lyppyncotte trod upon was evident from the fact that she carefilly preserved all the clay that fell from his overshoes in the hall. This she from time to time had cast into clay pigeons, one of which she ate every night before retiring. “They give me happy dreams of my honey- moon,’ she was wont to say. But a veritable serpent Lyppyncotte’s path. Michael Mulhooley, the multi-millionaire plumb: and @aafitter, with offices at Avenue B and Harlem, had for forty: eight years been a regular caller at Geraldine Jeroloman's Fifth avenue home Moreover, Michacl, like most men who handle lead pipe, thought he had a cinch and could marry the woman upon seven or eight minutes’ hotice “Oh, how can you love him?” at last pleaded Liepenard, handing back the empty dish and wip ing his mouth on the piano stool. “He is only a very dear friend: he put the open plumbing {n our house and naturally I feel a grea: respect and admiration for him,” she made reply ‘I know! I know! plumbers have waya of fornm- ing attachments and making connections that are peculiar to their profession; but let me tell you that I had rather see you weeping for Zara than peing led to the altar by one of their tik; will you walk in the conservatory?” CHAP. 3. a You know I've always been your friend, And hope henceforth to be; infeated Liapenard »e-e * Oh, Mr. Mulhooley; tell him to come up.” Geraldine Jeroloman blushed as she took the card, and directed the maid as above. Then in tones of mingled curiosity and pride she went on reading: “Gentleman plumber and_=s gasfitter. Makes epecialty of plumming puddings and repairing gas-leaks in mothers-in-law; also makes esti- mates on’’—— She read no further, for at that instant Lis- penard groaned and sank back upon the sofa. “IT am going to have a fit,”” he said: ‘a pitcher of ice-water, and be sure it is cold.” Like a rabbit that has overslept itself in the public square at Hackensack, Geraldine was off with a bound. “Ha!” gloated the young clubman, as he quickly drew all the curtains, and in the gathering gloom resumed his position on the sofa, “ha! never shall it be said that Lispenard Lyppyncotie ate cold potatoes and saw a plumber make love to his sweetheart the same day.” CHAP. 4. The boarder thought he scented goose, And cheered up like a flash; But, hist, it was the subtle juice With which they baste the hash. —Epitaph from Old Gravestone. “My love, my life, my own sweet Gerald’ne. wherefore art thou?” Michael Mulhooley stood at the portal of the room and stared about him like an owl that suddenly falls off his roost at midday. All objects seemed indistinct. Then from the familiar sofa he discerned in the darkness two arms stretched silently toward him. “Oh, you foxy little snapping-turtle, give me 4 kiss,” he cried, and he closed his eyes and plunged between them. If the plumber had suddenly embraced and trie’ to kiss that whilom sea-monster the devil-fish, his surprise might not have been greater. With a pang of terror he felt the tentacles of some great demon enfold him; and the next instant he was conscious that his nose was being chewed off. “What,” he muttered. “what if after all she was only a wolf in sheep's clothing. What if after all shé is addicted to the practice of may- hem?” The thought was so terrible as to overwhelm him with new strength, and with a master effor' he freed himself and began groping about the floor for his missing member. mm CHAP. 5. He looked upon his sleeping wife So fair, so firm, so fat: And then he got the carving knife And “docked” her pet tom-cat. —The Deemater. It had taken Geraldine Jeroloman an hour and twenty minutes to secure the ice-water, inasmuch na the cook was in conference with a member of the police force and refused to be annoyed. “Rut I am back at last!” she shrieked, however, aa she finally entered the room and struck a match on the sole of ber shoe. “And look at me, will you?” pleaded a broken volee, as the gas flickered up. it was Michael Mulhooley, the girl knew i and elanced wildly toward him. Thea she almost swooned. “That thing on the Sofa @id it.” he explained, pointing scornfully at Lispenard Lyppyncotte. who atill feigned to be dangerous. “T thought !t was you, and was in the act of stealing a kiss when he nipped it off.” “ah you should be more careful when stealing kisses. ea “But | adore you, will yeu be mine: “You are too late—you ahould have asked me before you lost your nose; you had forty-eight years to speak in. |et me tell you that toere are some things a woman will not excuse. “ 20 DOD ~ $0 DO DO -- DSO DOD - +O SOs S - Or D+O>--S +O OO --S+O+-S+ @--0@ the useless visual _.
