At the Central District Station he gave his name as Fred Fisher. He said he lived at Twenty-third and Market sts. Inquiry developed that he was not known there nor at any house in the immediate vicinity. There was a dance at Mason‘c Hall Tues- day night, and the saloon annex did a rush- ing business. The bartenders had little time to watch in order to put tax payers on an equal basis. Other witnesses heard were manu- facturers, in the License Commissioner's case. The Major Committee wiil recommend that the office of License Commissioner be abolished heodore Kalbfeli is the Commissione: and has been ever since the creation of the office in Apri, 1897. His salary is $4000 a year. His duties are as arduous as those of Coal Inspector Speed, whose chief dep- uty testified that he “naid salaries and was an agreeable gentleman to have around,” The Major Committee finding that the Li- cense Commissioner is an expensive super- fluity is corroborative of the evidence to that effect presented by the Post-Dispatch long ago. The office is merely a detach- ment from the machinery of the Collector's office, with the addition of a titled head drawing a fat salary Kalbfell’s chief deputy, S. A. Diamont, test'fied that the business of the office was transactec by the same force of deputies, inspectors and clerks formerly employed on the same work in the Collector's office. The office of License Commissioner was created by the Legislature in answer to complaints by the citizens and press of St. Louis that the Collector, who was Hen- ry Ziegenhein at that time, was not col- lecting ali the taxes due the city, particu- larly those imposed upon merchants and manufacturers. The appointive power was vested in the Mayor of St. Louis. The un- certainty of elections later gave this power to Ziegenhein, the man against whom the complaint had been made. Mayor Ziegenhein appointed ‘heodore Kalbfell, who was Chairman of the Re- publican City Central Committee which had charge of Ziegenhetn’s campaign. a | MERCHANTS ON THE STAND. Mr. Rumsey and Mr. Meyer Testified Respecting Their Business. The committee met at 19:30 o’clock. L. M. Rumsey, president of the L. M. Rumsey Manufacturing Co., was called to the stand. He said: Our company is engaged in manufacturing, buy- ing and selling awd handling goods on commission. It is a general tron business. We pay various 1!i- censes, based on our sales to the city. I don't know positively who attends to the returps; | think it Is the assistant secretary, Mr. Hartnett. I could net give, from memory, a fair estimate of the raw material we had on band at any time he- tween January and June in 1897 or 1808. We world never ron at any period with less than 5000 in raw material on hand. I could not esti- mate the exact amount of raw material on hind ai a gfven time; our books, which are open to yon, might show, but I don't think they would give the exact fgures. The highest amount of merchandise on band, owned by us, during the first three months in the year, would be approximately $150,000. TT cannuor state whether we had more than $125.00 werth on hate; at any time during the firet three mouths or 1807 of 1898.

Soen afterwards a mild-looking man of pleasant address ordered a drink at the bar. He tossed a silver dollar on the count- er. The bartender refused to accept it, saying “It’s got a hollow ring and I’m in doubt about it.’’ Policeman Thorn was standing by. He was dressed in citizens’ clothes. He en- gaged the young man in conversation, After awhile the man with the suspected dollar invited Thorn to have a drink. The patrolman accepted. They sat down at a table, and again the young man handed the waiter a dollar which was pronounced a counterfeit. .He settled for the drinks with a genuine dollar. “Where do you get those phony dollars?’ esked Thorn naively. “Oh,” the peliceman declares the man re- plied. ‘“‘I make them. It’s a cinch! Dead easy!’’ A few seconds later the young man found himself under arrest. He was surprised, but after awhile gave vent to a burst of virtuous indignation. “What I said,’ he explained, .“‘was all a ‘folly.’ I. get the money in the regular course of business. Of course I’m not a counterfeiter and it’s a shame to lock me Police Sergeant Meehan notified’ the United States authorities of the capture. Only two spurious silver dollars were found on Fisher. District Attorney Sessinghaus asked Sub-Treasurer George H. Small to examine the money. Mr. Small glenced at the spu- rious dollars and said: “Counterfeit, but a clever imitation. They are full weight, but contain a smal] frac- tion of lead. Just the kind that have been palmed oft in St. Louis for- some time.” Upon the request of Mr. Sessinghaus United States Commissioner Gray issued a warrant against Fisher. He will be ar- ee for preliminary examination Thure- ay. Meanwhile the Federal authorities will exert themselves to gather evidence against Fisher. They realize that a confession means the probable unearthing of a large counterfeiting plant in St. Louis. Chief Secret Service Agent Gurney has been on the lookout for local counterfeiters for a month. He eays that only a day or two ago he received in change froma large business house five silver dollars, four of which were counterfeit, tallying with the description of those Fisher carried. ; few days ago William Connelly, WitIl- liam Hough and three other men were ar- rested for passing counterfeit money. “The apparatus {s the thing we want to get now,” said Commissioner Gray. I am confident there is a counterfeiting plant in this city. Until it is located the gang cannot be broken up.’ THE WEATHER FORECAST. UNSETTLED—NOT SO COLD.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. l5.— One cause for the sudden determina- tion to punish Nuttall heavily was the report circulated that after the recess was taken, he said to a by- stander: “I don’t care what these blokes do to me, but I wish they would do it quick, and not°puntsh me further by making me Hsten to their speeches.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 15.—Ser- geant-at-Arms Re'd and his prisoner, Harry A. Nuttall, reached Jefferson City at mid- night. At 9:45 o’clock Reid and Nuttall arrived in the Senate chamber by the door behind the President's chair. Nuttall was smil- ing and as bright and neat as a new pin. He wae introduced to President Bolte by Sergeant-at-Arms Reid. They shook hands ffably. Nuttall was given a chair on the ftoor of the Senate beside the Sergeant-at-Arms’ desk. He was a curiosity. As soon as the Senators and clerks learned who he was, he became the center of their united gaze. Their curiosity did not stop there. Some of the clerks crowded about the little pris- oner, scrutinizing his every feature and garment. He did not mind it. Again his love of notoriety come to his aid. : “I'm a novelty here,” he said to the Post- Dispatch correspondent. “These people look at me like I was some new and wonder- ful animal. Hello, there's old man Schweickhardt,” he exclaimed, as he caugnt sight of the St. Louis Senator. “And there’s old Tom Martin, too. Nuttall denied that he had attempted to evade arrest. “I went around to a mem- ber of the committee,” he said. “and told him I understood | was wanted. He said he guessed not. I told him 1 was going away a few days, but would return when wanted. I saw in the papers that Mr. Reid was after me. 1 gave myself up.” ; “Why did you come back at all? eo “What's the use in staying away?” he replied. “A man would ag well take his medicine.”’ “It is said you offered to turn up the ‘gang’ if you were treated jeniently. “That isn’t eo. never made such an offer. As 1 told you once before, old man, the blackest crime a man can commit is that of ingratitude.” A During the regular morning hour Nuttall sat back against the wall near the rostrum, watching interestedly the proceedings. If he was humble and penitent there was no si . gn. At 10:30 o’clock Sergeant-at-Arms Reid caught the President's eye. The volum!- nous warrant which he had served on Nuttall lay on his desk before him. “Mr. President,’ he said. “The Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate,” said President Rolte. ‘T submit a return on a warrant.’ The warrant Was sent up to the Secre- tary'’s desk. enator Mott moved that the return in be read. It was read by Secretary Roach. “Mr. President.” said the Sergeant-at- Armes, “I desire also to «ubmit a statement from the sald Marry A. Nuttall, coming through the investigating committee,”’ The statement, written on Senate note paper, was as follows: To the Bt. Louls lovestigating Committee of the Missourt Senate.

GOLD IN THE PHILIPPINES. St. Louis Soldier Writes Home From in Front of Manila. The family of Albert E. Fout, a member of Battery D. Sixth United States Artillery, who is attached to the Adjutant-General's office at the headquarters of Major-General Otis at Manila, have received a letter from him, dated Jan. 6, 1899. Among other things young Fout says the lines of the Fillpinos are not over 300 yards distant from those ot the Americans, and that the natives are acting aggressively. The Americans, he says. are looking for @ night attack on the part of the Filipinos, but Dewey keeps the searchlights of his vessels on the enemy’s Lines, and as far as they reach it is as light as day. No move- ment of the enemy can be made without being seen. In his letter young Fout states it would be a mistake to give up the is!- ands. He.believes, from conversations he has had with merchants of all nationali- ties in Manila. that the interior will show rich goki deposits, which will cause a greater rush, as soon as peace prevails, than there was to the Klondike, The headquarters of Gen. Otis are crowd- ed every day with applicants for privileges and permits. Nearly every nation on the face of the fione is represented by these applicants. bor is cheap and the weath- er fine, the troops being in the best of health and spirits and ready to fight with the Filipinos and renegade Spaniards. Fout says the army is supplied with the best of everything and Gen, Otis is well liked by all who have anything to do with him. Accompanying the letter was a +g of the proclamation issued Jan. 4 by ‘Maj, Gen. Otis to the people of the Philippine Islands, ————_—_-> --- BLIZZARD STOPPED SOLDIERS. Twelfth Infantry, Bound for Manila, Snowbound in Maryland. The 12th United States Infantry, which left\Jefferson Barracks Saturday for Ma- nila, managed to get as far Kast: as Cum- berland. Md., before the blizzard stopped the progress of the train. ‘The soldiers were fearful that they would be snowbound somewhere in the Alleghanies, and when the enow-clad cars rallied into Cumberland the regiment cheered as if they had just taken a fortress. Thé first section of the train on which the regiment arrived was taken to the roll- ing mill yard, which is connected with wn- derground steam pipes fed by stationary eng-.nes, and kept quite comfortable. The second section was quartered in cars in front of the Queen City Hotel, the heat, being derived from the engines backed up to each end. The soldiers scattered all through the city, and seemed to enjoy themselves, despite the bitter cold. Huge placards were dis- played in front of the Y. M. C. A. building; inviting them in, and many accepted. FLOCKING TO UNION MISSION. Fund of $500 Needed to Maintain the Institution. Mothers and children with baskets are still flocking to Union Mission, 1432 Frank- lin av., anxious to get fuel and food, but the officers in charge discourage promis- ecuous giving, preferring to distribute what little bounty they have only to such families as,-upon investigation, are known to be worthy of help. Rev. M. B. Gott says 200 families have been fed during the recent cold snap, baskets, as a rule, being sent out to a carefully prepared list of addresses. About $500 is needed to maintain this fund. Donors have been asked to send money or its equivalent in fuel, food or clothing. SOME COAL BILLS TO PAY. Mothers Held a Quilting Bee at the Central Mission. Miss Sue Owen’s coal fund is gradually increasing. Some coal was bought on credit, awing to the extreme necessities caused by the unprecedented cold weather, hence the workers in Central Mission, 816 N.

Ellison left Pana suddenly three weeks ago and has been located at Denver, Col. A number of union miners declare that Ellison is short about $2000, while others aver that his ac- counts are correct. There is a movement on feot among num- bers of capitalists to make a pool and buy the mines of the Penwell Coal Company and the Springside Coal Company. The mines are held at $100,000 and $65,000 respec- tively. In case they are bought they will be operated as union mines. ORGANIZATION OF FIREMEN. Result of Tuesday’s Gathering at the Southern Hotel, This City. The United States Firemen's Association was organized at the Southern Hotel Tues- day. T. F. O’Connor of Waterford, N. Y., was elected president and John E. Spears of Reading, Pa., secretary. The new organization will be composed of committees appointed by the various State firemen’s associations, Twelve States were represented at the organization meet- Tuesday. Chief Ewinsley and E. J. Gross of this city were the Missouri dele- gates. Another meeting to perfect the or- ganization will be called later in the year.

Otis and Dewey Will Not Be Hampered. THE ISLANDERS MUST YIELD. WHEN THEIR POWER IS BROKEN ‘PEACE WILL COME. This Seems to Be the Plan Behind the Much-Heralded ‘Merciful Pol- icy” of the Administration at Washington. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—The Adminis- tration continues to conceal its rea] inten- tions ‘n regard to the future of the Phil- ippine Island. and the only statement made by those who have authority to speak for the President is that his purpose is to be “humane and merciful;’’ that if the Fili- Pinos submit without further fighting, it is not the President’s present intention to “deal harshly with them.” But supple- menting these empty phrases is the quali- fying statement that notwithstanding the President's merciful frame of mind, he does not deem it wise, just now at least, to in- terfere with ths plans of Otis and Dewey or hamper them with specific instructions concerning the future political etatus of the insurgents. This is tal.en to mean that the war on the Filipinog is not to be interrupted until every port and fortified town in the islands has fallen in American hands, and mili- tary power of the natives has been thor- oughly broken. No further trouble is expected about Tlollo, age the natives of those islands of which Iloilo is the chief port (the Visayan group) are not a warlike people, but are of a commercial turn, the traders of the Philippines. In this respect they differ to- tally from the people of Luzon, the Tagals, who are fierce fighters. What the anti-imperialists think of the President’s policy is illustrated in the speeches of Senators Hoar and Hale when the McEnery resolution was debated yes- terday. Mr. Hoar maintained it gave no hope of freedom or liberty or self-government to the inhabitants of the Philippines and pro- vided that they should never have a part in their own government, or become a part of the United States. It was, he held, an infamous declaration—a declaration simply that the Louisiana sugar planters should never be afraid of the competition of the Philippine Ielands. To the Filipinos the McEnery resolution would be a message of tyranny, of hate, of oppression, an of slaughter. Mr. Hale said that h@ had not much hope that the Senate would take any counse that would stop the desolation programme now ee, carried out in the Philippines. ‘Hardly had the treaty been ratified be- fore a foreign war was gpm taigka oy Con- gress will adjourn and the war will go on. and there is not a white man who will not realize in three months that it is a war of conquest and subjugation. The slaughter of people in no way equal to us, meeting us with bows and arrows und crawling into jungles by hundreds, there to lie, has stupe- fled the American mind. No one has said that our mission of commerce and of the gospel was to be preceS%ed by the slaughter of thousands of persons.”’ GAVE WAY TO GATLINGS. The Fifteenth Infantry Drives the Ene- my From Jaro. MANILA, Feb. 15, 11:55 a. m.—Col. Pot- ter arrived from Iloilo yesterday evening with dispatches from Brig. Gen. M. D. Miller to Maj. Gen.

Bryan, Discussing the Phil- ippine Inquiry, Asks a Question That Is Pertinent. ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 15.—In his speech at the banquet tendered him last night by Democrats and Populists of Minnesota, Col. William J. Bryan, referring to the peace treaty, said: “The ratification of the treaty, instead of committing the United States to a colonial policy, really clears the way for the recog- nition of a Philippine republic. Lincoln In his first inaugural message condensed an unanswerable argument into a brief ques- tion when he asked: ‘Can aliens make treaties easier than friends» can make laws?’ “Could the independence of the Filipinos be secured more easily by diplomacy from a foreign and hostile nation than it can through laws passed by Congress voicing the sentiments of the American people alone? If independence is more desirable to our colonial aegi who is there or what is there to prevent the recognition of Philip- ten independence? It is absurd that the Inited States can be transformed from a republic into an empire without consulting the voters. “The imperialists may be willing to deny to the Filipinos the right to govern them- selves, but they can not deny to the Amer- ican people the right to determine the pol- icy to be pursued by the United States in the settlement of the Philippine question. “Until the people express themselves we can only guess their views, but is it not safer to suppose that they will adhere to the ideas and policies of a century than to assume that they will go back to the creed of kings and to the gospel of force? “In commemoration of the fact that France was our ally in securing indepen- dence the citizens of that nation joined with the citizens of the United States in placing in New York harbor a_ heroic statue representing aca Enlightening the World. What course shall our nation pursue? Send the statue of liberty back to France and borrow from England a statue of William the Conqueror? Or shall our nation so act as to enable the American people to join with the Filipinos in placing in the harbor of Manila a second statue of Liberty Enlightening the Orient?’’ SOME TROOPS MAY COME HOME. | Adjt.-Gen.

It was one of the most fashionable houses on Grand boul. The missing are Fred Marte, a mail car- rier, who occupied an apartment on the third floor; his wife and their one-year-old infant. Two persons R. N. Hansen and J. C. Mc- Call were slightly injured by jumping from the burning ‘building. SERIOUS FOR LORD CURZON. He Is Threatened With Another War With Afghanistan. LONDON, Feb. 15.—Lord Curzon is threat- ened at the very outset of his career as Viceroy of India by another war with Af- ghanistan, involving, in all likelihood, a conflict with Russia. “‘ Durability is Better Than Show.” The wealth of the malti- millionaires is not equal to good health.

Montgomery Street, Paterson, N. J. Republicans of the Legislature to overrule MUST NOT THE WORD — ILLINOIS WILL NOT HAVE COM- PULSORY ARBITRATION, UNION LABOR IS AGAINST IT. The Unofficial Legislative Committee Has Unanimously Approved the Bill Framed by the Board. SPRINGFIELD, IIL, Feb. 15.—The unof- ficial committee of the two Houses, which started out about a week ago to frame a compulsory arbitration law, has abandoned the object. At last night’s committee meet- ing the State Board of Arbitration’s bill introduced in the House was discussed. This bill makes no provision for so-called ‘“‘compulbsory arbitration,’’ but amends the present law so as to enable the board to compel the attendance and testimony of witnesses and providing among other things that a decision of the board, where both sides join in the proceedings, may be en- forced by the Circuit or County Court by the pufishment of the offending party for contempt of court, but providing that in no case shall the punishment extend to im- prisonment. The latter clause met with some objection from Mr. Drew, chairman of the committee on labor and industrial af- fairs of the Hovse, who was present. Otherwise, except in some trivial matters of form, the bill met with the unanimous approval of the committee. Daniel-J. Keefe of Chicago, the labor rep- resentative on the board of arbitration, said that organized labor was not in favor of a compulsory arbitration law. The House committee has reported favor- ably upon Mr. Fort’s bill restricting the use of the likeness of woman's face, form or figure in an immoral or immodest man- ner as an advertising medium. ‘rhe House Committee on Agriculture has acted favorably on the Paris corn e@htfbrt bill, amending Arnold's bill to conform to the provisions of the Senate bill. There is a strong sentiment among the the leaders of their party and adopt the Tippit resolution calling for reports in de- tail from all the State institutions, show- ing the receipts and disbursements on every account. Speaker Sherman is deter- mined to kill the resolution in the Commit- tee on State Institutions. Mr. Guffin, who was a Republican can- didate for Speaker, supports the resolution, The compromise street railway bill pre- pared for a subcommittee of .the Senate municipalities committee has been taken up and the committee has agreed to re- port it without recommendation, with the understanding that it shall be called up on the floor of the Senate not later than next Tuesday. The substitute measure differs from Sen- ator Campbell’s original bill in that it changes the constitution of the proposed street railway commission and strikes out the provision which was advocated so strongly by the Civic Federation, to the effect that strect railways may be given contracts to light, clean and pave the streets. The following bills passed: Hunt—providing penaltics for gaining en- trance or attempting to gain entrance into a county fair without ticket or permission from proper authorities. Berry—Providing that no tax levied or assessed for 1898 shall be declared invalid or the assessment for property insufficient or defective, nor the collection of any such tax be defeated, because of the failure of any Board of Review to organize, to re- view or to act upon any assessment of any property for such tax. Aspinwall—Making it unlawful to con- struct a bridge or culvert whose capacity for sustaining weight is less than 100 pounds to the square foot. BILLS STILL FLOW IN. No Decrease in Illinois’ Flood of Pro- posed Legislation. SPRINGFIELD, IIL, Feb. 15.—In the House Mr. Heimberger has introduced a bill amending the conspiracy law by meking it applicable to school directors who conspire to.defraud the school district; penalty, fine or prisonment in the penitentiary. Mr. Lee of Jackson introduced @ dil) amending the revenue law, extending the time for the collection of delinquent taxes on lands and lots from June to September, and also reducing the penalties. Mr. Trautman sent in a little bill fixing the salaries of the Judges of city courts. Where the population is less than 6000 ; between ! and lees than $25,000, $1500: be- tween 25,000 to 60.000, $2500; between 60,00 and 100,000, $3500 and if the peometiee ia in excess of the latter figure, the City Council may fix the salary at not_exceedin In the Senate bills were offered as follows: Pemberton: Executions on judgments by confession may be etayed for three months in case bond is furnished as in appeal cases. Mounts: Providing that highway com- missioners may take contracts for bridges by private letting, where bids received are unsatisfactory. Warder: Prohibiting a murderer from in- heriting any estate from a person in whose death # was concerned, either by will or by the law of descent.

Advertisements which were placed in hun- dreds of small papers offer to os free a $25 course of instruction in mak arti. ficial flowers, and, further, to pay for the flowers when the students had become skilled in their manufacture. To each applicant a letter was forwarded instructing how to send to the company 82 cents for the “‘course of instruction” and $2.10 for a “beginner’s outfit.” The outfits consisted of an open rose and half a dozen buds. ! Accompanying the outfits were sent In- structions to open the buds until they “bloomed.” For this the girls were to be paid at the rate of WW cents per dozen buds. When the buds were opened and returned the applicant was told that business was on the .boom and that orders were coming in so fast from the wholesale houses that not less than 50 dozen buds,could be sent. Of course the company could not take risks with unknown persons, and it would necessary for anyone who wished to con- tinue the work to deposit: $110.50 as a mat- ter of good faith. It is alleged that those unfortunate enough to accept this offer never again saw either the amount of the deposit or the $2% due for opening the buds. PULLMAN COMPANY WINS. California Attorney General Says It May Fix Its Own Rates. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.—Attorney- General Ford has submitted to the Rail- road Commissioners an opinion in which he says that the committee has no juris- diction to adjust rates of the Pullman Car Co. The board has decided to take the case under advisement until the next monthly meeting. This is considered to be quite a victory for the Pullman people, as they were com- pelled to furnish the commissioners not only a schedule of prices, but also a state- ment of earnings for the year.

HOW TO REACH PEOPLE. ee That Susan HK. Anthony has lost none of her sagacity is ~ ghown by a story which appeared yesterday in the Post-Dis- 7: eh's columa of.chat about men, women and events in ashington. , One of the members of the Woman's National Council advo- cated the establishment of an organ to promote the interests of the council. When she had finished her speech “Aunt Susan” arose and said: “One column in a daily metropolitan news- paper is worth whole files of special woman's publications.” “Aunt Susan” was right, and the council saw the point of her wise remark. The organ reaches only the people who think as it thinks. It carries coal to Newcastle. As a special advocate the value of its support is impaired. But the great, independent, daily newspaper reaches thousands of persons @ll ways of thinking. No other medium of information com- peres with it in reaching power and value. _ Br ee ae a ee A Question of Authorship.—If the Republican organs quote Dewey correctly when they allege that he said a Democrat is “In time of war a d—d traitor, and‘in peace a d—d fool,” there Will not be any enthusiastic rally of Democrats around Mr. Watterson’s Presid ential candidate.

The fraternal relation will prevail rather than the hard one of master and man. The ¢xperiment will be watched with interest. It is in the spirit of real progress. The wealthy men of St. Louis have a splendid opportunity for doing a great work for the city by following the example of Messrs. Brookings, Cupples and Busch in providing a sif- ficient fund for the new Washington University. The Sunday Post-Dispatch showed what has already been done and what remains to be done to make the university one of the greatest and most successful educational institutions tn the West. Cit- izens who honor the city by taking part in this noble work will win undying honor for themselves. _—— = = * THE M’ENERY RESOLUTION. The wording of the MclIenery resolution is so vague that there is ground for the charge that it is meaningless. Tech- nically the final sentence admits of any disposition of the Philippines by the United States. But there is a definite statement that the United States do not intend to permanently annex the Philippines, to make it an integral part of their territory or to admit the Filipinos to citizenship. There is a definite pledge to give the Filipinos local self government. The loophole in the tail of the resolution is a loophole only for the unscrupulous. It would be an act of bad faith to put any other construction upon the resolution than that clearly implied in the previous sentences. If the Philippines are not to be permanently annexed nor the inhabitants admitted to citizenship they must be turnea over to the inhabitants under some form of fndependent gov- ernment or we must hold the land as an imperial possession and the people as subjects without the rights of citizens. We can hardly believe that the most advanced impcrialist will support a policy which could render the Philippines per- mancntly subjects of the United States without the rights of citizens. The only other alternative is to turn the Philippines over *o the Filipinos. To assume thzt the resolution is meaningless and binds the United States to nothing, because a technical loophole may be found in the wording is to assume that the United States Senate was guilty of a delibérate juggle for the purpose of de- ceiving the public; it is to assume that the American people are capable of conscious hypocrisy and dishonor. A prominent Republican speaker at the Lincoin banquet in Chicago said: ‘‘We want no Porto Ricans or Cubans to be sending Senators end Representatives to Washington to help govern the American Union, any more than we wart Kanakas or Tagalos or Visayas or Mohammedan Malays.” But have we not enfranchised plantation negroes, and have not Senators and Representatives been elected by them? And does not the supreniuicy of tue Republican party depend upon the negro? “Vhat consistency is there fi: this Lincoln banyu-: talk, what- ever may be its wisdom? »_. _ — While the merchants of Texas, Arkansas, Misaouri, lowa, l- linois, Kansas and Nebraska are here to purchase their spring stocks it will be a good time for the people of St. Wovuis to respord handsomely to the call for funds for the great World's Fair of 1903. The impression made by such a movement would help the Fair a good deal. . ee nn The investigation of the Major Committee into the subject of license taxation is showing clearly what becomes of that part of the city’s revenue which the city does not get. It seems to be divided between officials and favored taxpayers. & &-&- i It is very good in Mr. McKinley to speak kindly of Mr. Lin- coln when we nave been assured by Mr. McKinley’s Ohio ap- pointec to the State Department that our present President is so inuch superior to the great railsplitter. e It is strange that Boss Quay should have trouble in getting himsecif elected now. His character has been well known to the people of Pennsylvania for many years. Perhaps they merely want some other variety of polyhog. — There is something wrong in the civilization that produces 60,000 destitute people in the city of New York. We ourselves have much to learn beforer*broceeding with the education of our Filipino brethren. _—_ _ = If all the kindly acts of charity that have been done during the recent intensely cold weather could be made known they would almost make the deadly cold appear to have been a blessed visitation. ~~“ >a The United States should elect their Senators by a vote of the people, and the power of the British House of Lords should be limited. Both nations are sufficiently advanced for these refornis. A i POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. The bear that walks like a brother-in-law is looking for Rudyard Kipling. Boston’s gecond-story snow drifts are fearful, but the bean diet is warming and there will soon be a thaw. The oppressive revenue stamp will not seem so heavy to the man who will whistle “The White Man’s Burden.” Had Hannibal Hamlin been alive in the present February. would he not at last ha¥e put on an overcoat? The flag is not hauled down every time a_ public official is called down, though he would like to have people think so. It was perhaps the Ohio aura that Gen. Wheeler got into in Washington that led him to desire two offices. It is a very bad influence at all times. The Sunny South has all at once become the Below-zero South. The remarkable weather figures of the present month will not s600n be forgotten down there. The White House has been made very uncomfortable by the February cold, but it will still be acceptable to any patriot who may be nominated fcr it next year. “Rather one column in a great metropolitan daily than a whole file of special publications for women,” saye Susan B. Anthony, Aunt Susan evidently appreciates the Post-Dispatch, as do 80 many of her sisters in the West. Wayman McCreery’s brilliant victory over Mullen in the con- test for the amateur billiard championship raised the expecta- tions of St. Louisans to a high pitch. Their hopes were strengthened by MNullen's defeat of Foss. If Mr. McCreery plays up tv the standard of his first game he will be an easy winner and he has the eager good wishes of all St. Louisans for this conclusion. The laurel is growing for Mr. McCreery. The friends of religion are greatly encouraged by the case of the Missourian who recently became a convert and sent to the owner of a cow he had killed 20 years ago the round sum of $30. ‘ne incident {s especially Interesting from the fact that the cow had repeatedly broken into the convert’s cornfield and in sudden heat he had risen and elain her.

REPUTATION RUINED.—A young 53Bt. Louis politician took -a cure for alcoholism a year ago. But the cure was not perma- nent and the young man soon began to drink again. A few n'ghts ago he was out “doing the town” with a crowd. There was plenty to drink and the young politician consumed his ehare of it. But it had an effect upon him it had never produced in the palmy davsa of old. It made him drunk, Finally, rest. After a few minutes, he staggered to his feet and sa.d: “Gentlemen, I am drunk.

It is the fourth race on the card, and the stakes will be: CJolden Rule 115 Catullus, Diomed Sir keer Lomond 118 Sisquoc Last week was the worst the bookies at he Ingleside course have ever had. It is gaid, on best authority, that at the close of the business Saturday night the ring was over $5000 to the bad, and most of this had gone into pockets of a few men who quietly turned loose things that were ripe. About the hardest blow the ring received this year was on last Thursday: It was a golar plexus punch, delivered by the modest piker. It.was a corking blow, for it knocked at least $25,000 out of the tin boxes. Books fost on that day amounts ranging all the way from $1000 to $4000. The following are gome of the losses: Johnny Humphrey, $2000; George Rose, $2000; Al Jackman, $1000; Joe Rose, $200; John O' Nieil, (Bluhm, $2000; “Silver Bill’ Riley, $4000; HHoffman, $2000; Johnny Coleman, $1500; Pesch, $1500; Joe Cook, $1590; Barney Schrie- ber, $1200; Eddie Gaines, $2000; Harry Froe- lick, $1500.

Information has come from London to the effect that at a recent meeting of the Eng- fish Jockey Club a resolution was passed that no thoroughbred horses imported from America will be eligible for registration in the English stud book. The resolution has mot yet been made public, and the exact meaning of the ruling is not quite clear. It would seem, however, that hereafter the American thoroughbred is to have no of- Peial standing on the English turf or the nglish breeding farm, | Whether such a rule would bar the Amer- fean horse from the English turf as well @s from the farms and markets, is a ques- tion, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that all that is intended is to put a stop to the shipping. of yearlings from here.

As the ‘houns wore on the attendance dwindled, but the interest of those who re- mained never flagged, and at intervals the leaders were heartily applauded. Burns, Pierce and Charles Ashinger were the heroes of the first day. After 24 hours the former had ridden seven and a quarter. miles farther than the previous record for that Jength of time, which was established by himself in the recent race at Madison uare Garden, New York. e 24-hour record for endurance was beaten by Ashinger, who remained on his wheel for 24 hours and 21 minutes without dismounting, covering in that time 469 miles and 7 laps. Gimm and Miller also exceeded Pierce’s former record, Gimm 459%. miles and Miller 458% miles. During the first 24 hours Pierce was only off his wheel one minute, and this was the result of a collision with Lawson. During the night Fournier rode a mile covering Ton his motor cycle in 1:54, Michael made a mile in 1:59 and Hikes a mile in 1:5 1-5. Eddie Bald covered a half mile in :56 2-5 seconds.

LOUIS CLUB IT MAY BE POSTPONED. .% The National League meeting, set for the Fifth Avenué Hotel, New York, on March 7, may be postponed. The Sportsman’s Park and Club property will not be sold until March 14, and the league folks want to see the St. Louis coast clear before holding their meeting. It is said that a mail vote on the ques- tion of changing the date for the meeting will be taken at once. As stated above the sole reason for the change of date is the situation in St. Louis. With the Brooklyn-Baltimore deal set- tled, the magnates are anxious to have Robison’s Clevelands placed in St. Louis, so that this end of the circuit can be boqi- stered up. As thé St. Louis club cannot be sold by the receiver before March 14, it is believed that it would be better to hold the schedule meeting after that date, unless ro der Ahe in some way capitulates be- ore. Edward Becker ts reported to have had several conferences with Brush; Hart and Robison. He is the principal creditor of the St. Louis Club, afid expects to buy the property in at the coming sale. He has received assurance that the league fran- chise will go with the club if he buys, but otherwite it will be held up. Tom Loftus of the Columbus Western League Club announces that he has raised £ syndicate which will do some bidding, ‘too. Loftus is believed to be in close touc with Robison, which may mean that the latter will protect himself even with Beck- er in the fleld. There never was a better known nor better thought of professional baseball player than Bug Holliday. Last year Bug quit the business and went to writing sheet for a bookmaker at Cincinnati. e was lost sight of in that position until Sunday, when he received a telegram from Frank Selée, manager of the Boston League cham- ions. The wire was brief and to the point. t read: “Get important letter that I have mailed you.” ' Bug did not think that the Boston Club desired his services. With three such out- fielders as Hugh Duffy, Chick Stahl and Billy Hamilton, he cannot, figure what use Boston has for another Outflelder, except it bea utility man. The ex-Red is inclined to think that Selee has been commissioned by some minor league club to secure his services. Holliday may be mistaken. Manager Se- lee has always had a warm spot for Holii- day. Twice before he tried to secure the Bug’s release from the Cincinnati Club. The cause of the ill feeling between the Bostons and the Reds is in a measure due to the fact that the Cincinnati Club would not release Holliday to the Bostons at the time the Reds had four outfielders, and the Bostons, owing to the injury to Chick Stahl, were badly in need of a man. THE HOCKEY PLAYERS. The All Canadian Tea mat Last Meet Their Match. The most exciting and Drilliantly piayea hockey game ever seen in St. Louls, took place Tuesday night at the ice Paiace, before a large and enthusiastic crowd. The All-Canadians who have hitherto been invincitie, met thelr match itn the compbi- nation team of well-known hockey rs, captained by the brili:ant all-round skater- ial artist George A. M er. It was Mr. Meagher who introduced hockey in Paris and at the London rinks, and he gave an exhibition of Parisian dash and bulldog tenacity and masterly work that fairiy took the house by storm. He was ably assited in his work ty Mat Ewing, the Dillion brothers and Geragnty. Capt. Richardson's Canucks played fast and hard to send the gliding puck through their opponent's goal, Dut they were not equal to the task. In fact. Meagher’s com- bination played in hard luck, as they came within an ace of landing a goal on severai occasions. The dash, brilliancy and gen- eral all round work was surprisingly et- fective, and the next time they meet the Canucks look out for the new comers, who “Wweee night W "A: Saw and KF. iawkine 2 ttle. race at the >" tae. at . . “a ee ee aoa oF : sires Po an, ee at s ne . i ° m : & ya . val ie Sa?

YOCUM WAS WARNED. the Passengers of the Paul Jones They Were Not Safe. Mitchell Smith, who left - Louisville in December as pilot on the {fll-fated Pau!

The captain of the Josie, at Cairo, also cautioned Capt. Yocum, Mr. Smith says. Mr, Smith, when he left the boatt, told Miss Taggart ood-bye, and as he did so inquired of Miss aggart if she was not afraid to travel on the Jones, and her answer was: “Capt. Yocum says it is safe.” Mr. Smith, in explaining this theory of the accident, has this to say: “The Jones was loaded too heavily forward, and this caused the gasoline from the tank aft to leak constantly.” The aft tank, he says, contained 315 gallons of gasoline and the center and forward tanks contained about the same number of galions. When he left Louisville the Jones was supposed to drawing about four feet of water. Mr. Smith investigated and found that the Jones was drawing more than six feet of EE!

The volume of St. uis-manufactured oods is in- creasing annually and therein lies the cause of the jealousy of the Eastern manufac- turers. There is not a shoe firm in this city that is not either qulareing or makin arrangements to enlarge its factory an possibly half the ghoe trade in St, Louis during 1899 will be in goods manufac- tured in this city. St. Louls manufacturers have arranged to establish a tannery here soon, and it is said that during the next few months a company to carry on this business will be organized with a capital stock of $200,000. This new industry will employ hundreds of men and will supply leather for local man- ufacturers. Every feature of a great shoe ge will then be carried on in St. ouis.

The plaintiffs, in their petition, aetleced that the defendants infringed their patent on the Jenny freight car couplers upon which, they claimed, a patent was issued to them Feb. 21, 1882.

CONTRACTOR'S COAL SUPPLY. Building Commissioner May Now Buy Coal Anywhere to Keep Schools Supplied With Fuel. ; i Director Brown, at Tuesday night’s ses- sion of the School Board, Insisted upon the adoption of his resolution requiring the Committee on Instruction to keep a record of inefficient teachers and report. their. names regularly to the board. Directors Coste, Moore and Woodward objected strenuously to the resolution on the ground that it would hamper the Su- perintendent in his work. They argued that Mr. Soldan’s duties covered the re- quirement fully, and that long experience amply qualified him to judge what teach- ers were incompetent. After considerabie debate the question was put to a vote and dentden -tn Mr. Brown's favor. The fesolution was adopted. Supt. Soldan’s annual report was read in detail. That part referring to the promotion of Profs. enk and Knox of the High School evoked considerable opposition from Mr. Moore demanded to know by what right the professors mentioned were ad- vanced above those of equal ability who had seen longer service in the institution. Prof. Woodward replied that the teach- ers named had passed eight years in the specialties of chemistry and rman and ossessed a wider knowledge on these sub- ects than other teachers available. Several minor points in Supt, Soldan’s re- port were considered at Jength. The entire report, however, was approved. The recommendation of the secretary and treasurer for an additional appropriation of $5000 for text books was adopted. Director Schoers offered the following: Resolved, That the secretary be requested to as- certain the amount which would be necessary to supply free text books in all district schools, and that the attorney of the Board be requested to draw up an amendment to be submitted to the voters of the City of St. Louis at the election for the purpose of increasing the rate of taxation for school purposes so as to enable the u- cation to furnish free text books to all children at. tending the district schools, and that the secretary and attorney be instructed to submit tbeir reports to the Board at its next meeting final action. A special executive session of the board will be called for action upon it. The Building Commissioner was author- ized to purchase coal to the amount of $1000 where the contractor fails to supply it. This will prevent a recurrence of closing schools for lack of coal. The report made by the Building Commis- sioner and the Committee omAuditing and Supplies were approved. FUNERALS TO BE MORE COSTLY.

Analysis of the Important Bill Passed by the Ligislature. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 15.~—It fs rather peculiar that the first important measure to pass both branches of the Leg- islature was drafted and introduced by a Filipino in the House, Judge Hawkins of Marion County. It is a revenue measure, intended to par- tially solve the problem of the equalization of taxes. It changes the present law sare slightly, so far as verbiage is concerned, but the! difference in operation is great. Judge Hawkins’ bill divides real estate | oun eee be” Galt magia dt ager from Hanalba!,! oxcan fh Siniaipelia dai, wells, Pestle Special to the Post-Dispatcb. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 15.—No- body neod be surprised if, before the session ends, possibly in the very near future, & resolution is introduced in the Legislature providing for the submiss:on to the people of @ constitutional amendment removing the State capital from Jefferson City. Such a resolution is under contemplation by a number of members of the Legisila- ture, and has been discussed informally a - number of times. It was so discussed yes- terday afternoon, and the sentiment in its favor is gradually crystallizing. The only question that seeme to prevent immediate action is the best poe to select as a rival of Jefferson City. 8t. Louis Coun- ty would like well to have the chance, but {¢ is not thought wise to pick her out, be- ‘enuse of her brutal Repwblican majority and her far eastern location. Some of the counties nearer the center of the State, which are convenient to all sections and easily acceasible by railroad, will stand a much better chance of the selection than St, Louls ‘ates Sedalia has been con- sidered, but the et a er gO —pteeans © years ago militates again : rhe reason alleged for the movement toward removal are many.

BILL AFFECTS PAWNBROKERS. Senator Rollins’ Plans for a Change of : Interest Charges, Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY. Mo., Feb. 15.—Sen- ator Rollins to-day introduced a bill in the Senate which makes radical changes in the law govorning pawnbrokerg, fixing the rate at S cents a month on the dollar the first three months; 2 cente a month on the dollar for the next three months and 1 cent & month for a period longer than s.x months Pawned goods must be held for redemption One year. Then they may be sold at a duly advertised auction, and all mag on naning aoe the amount due brok rincipal and interest shall be turned into the County Treasury. SUPREME COURT HAMPERED. Not Allowed Stenographers to Write Out the Judges’ Opinions. Special to the Post Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 15.—It is al- most unbelievable that the General Assem- bly stints the Supreme Court in ways that hamper and impede the business of the . Court, while in the very same directions 4° Febery ¢Xtravagant for its own benefit. eral assemblies for several years have refused to allow the Supreme Judges sten- Ographets to assist them in getting out their decisions, and this Agesembly will probably do the same thing. At the same time there are 14 so-called typewriters and stenographers on the pay- ls of the House and Senate. The cost Of these 14 stenographers and typewriters the session is Ssas0. or $2040 a year, more than enough to pay the salaries of 3 atenogrephers at $75 a month all the year Sround, for the use of the Supreme Judges, The salaries of the three would amount to $2700.

Under the present law the State Board of Equalization, in considering real taxation, has been , compelled to consider all real estate alike, | raising or lowering the rate of assessment alike upon farm land and town lots. This has worked a great hardship epee farm property by placing the burden of taxation upon it. nder Judge Hawkins’ proposed law the board may consider town lots and farming land separately, raising or lower- | ing the assessment of each without affect- ing the other. n the matter of personal property the bill divides it into 13 classes for the same purpose. One class of personal property may be assessed without affecting the oth- ers. Under the old law, in order, for in- stance, to change the assessment on bank stock in any country, it was necessary to change the assessment on all forms of per- sonal RTO erty. The bill passed both House and Senate with handsome majorities, there being only one vote against it in the Senate. It will, undoubtedly, be approved by the Governor, and, a8 an emergency clause is attached it will be effective before the State Boar of Equalization meets the coming spring. BIDS FOR LEGAL PRINTING. Little Scheme to Prevent Competition Will Be Nipped in the Bud. - Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 16.—House bill No. 312 is a measure which illustrates the devious methods resorted to by private interests to procure legislation which will benefit them. 7 The intent of this bill is to deprive all | litigants of the benefits of competitive prices for the publication of trustees’ sales, stockholders’ meetings, etc. By oy ed the law relative to legal rinting and by the apparently innocent nsertion of the words “including trustees’ sales, dissolutions of -partnérships and stockholders’ meetings’’ and the substitu- tion of “ten thousand’’ instead of ‘three thousand” as the qualifying circulation to bid for such work, the object is sought to be attained. The double purpose of the proposed amendment is (1) to limit the number of papers bidding on legal printing and (2) to make it cOmpulsory to pay what- ever figure the paper securing the printing has fixed in its contract. This bill was sent to Jefferson City to a newspaper man with the request that he have it introduced. It was turned over to Capt. Prather of Taney County, who in- troduced it by request, unaware of the scheme that it involved. The Committee on Judiciary will probably report the bil] un- favorably. TRYING TO SHUT OUT FAKES. Whitecotton Asks That the Incorpor- ating Fee Be Increased. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 15.~In the House this morning, Whitecotton intro- duced a joint and concurrent resolution submitting a constitutional amendment providing. for radical increase In the char- ter fees charged by the State. It provides that sommpenien, when incorporated, must pay the State $250 for the first $25,000 of capital] stock. For each additional $10,000 capital stock $10 additional must be paid. “If that amendment is adopted,” White- cotton said, “it will give a half million a year additional State revenue and will pre- vent incorporations 6% fake concerns or con- cerns that are organized simply to fail and rob creditors.”’ INSURANCE COMBINE EXEMPT. Hall’s Anti-Trust Bill Materially Al- tered in Committee. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 15.~The House Committee on Criminal Jurispru- dence to-day reported favorably on Hall’s anti-trust bill, As drawn the bill provided for exempting the insurance combinations of the large cities. The committee struck out the section referring to the insurance | combines. The bill was aimed especially at stockyards speculators, as its other pro- visions are, in general, the same as the present law, but the committee's action in doing away with the exemption of the in- surance combinations will cause contest over the measure. “Asheville and Thereabouts.”’ Full information about Asheville and Hot Springs, N.

Beer glasses were flung with telling ef- ect, and ome negress, crazed with drink and jealousy, drew a revolver and emptied the chambers at the crowd. Lem Brown is at the City Hospital with a bullet wound in his abdomen that may, prove fatal. Laparotomy was performed, but ‘tthe doctors have little hope of his re- covery. Emma Bee is also at the hospital with a gunshot wound in the leg. Maggie Brown has a flesh wound in the arm, but it is not serious and she is locked up in the holdover. Emma Wendcerson, who did all of the shooting, is in another cell, bold and defi- ant. She laughs at her work and refuses to talk about it. The nce was attended by the worst set from darktown. The costumes were varied somewhat, but none could be described as dreams. Many of the women were dressed as men and many of the men were dressed as women. Emma Henderson is a big mulatto woman with exceedingly coarse features. She wore men’s clothes. Maggie Brown its rather slight and is not uncomely. Her costume was more pretentious. She was the ‘“‘snow queen’’ and won a fluffy white dress, red silk hose and red satin slippers. Maggie was one of the favorite and Emma Hen- derson eyed/’her an;@ily all evening. One feature of N, watorium functions is the liquor that is served. Whisky was in brisk demand, and by 10 o’clow®: sober per- sons were as ecarce as snow balls in July. Emma Henderson swaggered up to the bar where Lem Brown was buying beer for the “snow queen.’’ She called for a beer and when it was served she lifted the glass and dashed the-contents into the face of her “snow queen.’’ Masks had been dis- carded and real features were disclosed. The offended ‘‘queen’’ retaliated by hur'i- ing the glass she had just drained at Em- ma’s head, It struck fair, and Emma fell against the bar. She rallied, and drawing a revolver from the rear pocket of her costume dashed to- ward the ‘‘snow queen,’’ who fied. The Henderson woman cursing like a fiend, persued, firing as she ran. The first shot penetrated Maggie Brown’s arm. Another shot and Emma Bell sank to the floor. One of the Henderson woman's bullets had penetrated her leg and shattered the bone. The mad negress pressed on. Another shot penetrated Lem Brown's ab- domen, and he sank to the floor. The dance was broken up and the colored maskers sought safety in flight. Maggie Brown dashed out on the street. She slip- ped and fell in the street. Her white cos- tume was smeared with mud. Sergt. Monahan and Patrolmen Hunt and Waddell heard the riot and rushed to the scene. mma Henderson was standing over the porstrate Maggie Brown pbrand- ishing her weapon, which was still smok- ing, when the police arrived. An ambulance was called and filled with the participants. Those badly wounded were sent to the City Hospital and the others were locked up at the Four Courts. Emma Henderson was in the holdover Wednesday morning wearing the costume she had on at the dance. She laughed when questioned, then relapsed into a sullen silence. , w Maggie Brown, still wearing her “snow queen” costume, much the worse for the thrilling scenes it had been through, was more talkative. She told the story as re- lated above, which coincides with that told by the police. The fight broke up the dance, and several of the women who had affected male attire were picked up on the streets in the neigh- borhood by the police and sent before Judge eabody. * Dencts at the Natatorium have given the police no little trouble recently and Chie aCmpbell says he will take care that there wil be no more such disgracefu orgies. “Whisky was the cause of the riot last night,” said the Chief. “I do not know whether there was a permit issued to sell liquor or not. However, I will see that no liquor is sold there in the future. If they have a license it should be revoked and the Excise Commissioner will be fully in. formed as to the result of the investigation I have ordered.”’ HE CELEBRATED MARDI GRAS. William Bauer Was Refused a Drink and Had His Head Fractured. William Bauer of 2216 South Second street has painful recollections and a fractured skull, as a result of his celebration of Mardi Gras. With several other young men he started out Tuesday night to add his quota to the din of the carnival season. He wore a4 calico dress and flaxen curis. About mid- night he entered a saloon at Bighth st. and Geyer av. His disguise must have been clever, for the bartender refused “to sell beer over the bar to a lady.”’ When Bauer protested that he waa not ‘‘a lady’’ something landed on his head. Somebody telephoned the police that a woman had been murdered, and there was much excitement for awhile. Bauer is at the City Hospital. Dr. Nietert says he will recover. NEGRO KILLED AT A DANCE.

The Board of Public Improvements Com- mittee on Public Lighting was in session all morning Wednesday, drafting a new city lighting ordinance to be submitted to the Council next Friday night. The failure of the Council to reconsider its action in rejecting the last bill submit- ted rendered this imperative. It is under- stood the new bill will include a contract for the lighting of the city buildings. At the cjose of the meeting President McMath said in all probability a new ordi- nance will be submitted to the Board of Publie Improvements at Friday's session. “The public does not know why these lighting bills are held up, one after an- other, by the Council,” said Mr. McMath. ‘It is because the law requires the electric light companies to pay 6 per cent of their gross income to the city. There is a ques- tion whether the Laclede Gaslight Co. is included in this. The question is now be- fore the Supreme Court and nothing can ‘be done until it renders an opinion. “The way out of the difficulty would be to repeal the ordinance, but the Board of Public Improvements is not going to take the initiative. That's the Assembly’s busi. ness.”’ Double Daily Service. The Illinois Central has two traina every day from 8t. Louis to Nashville and Chat- tanooga.

' Broadway and Pine Street, are mounted on posts in shore so that col- lisions among the swiftly-moving figures can be avoided. The park employes had removed the big lanterns off the posts and get them down on the ice. Alden Chase of 2846 Lafayette av., a clerk, grabbed one of the headlights and began cavorting around the expanse of ice with it. The shouts of the park attaches were wasted. Other young men in the party also seized lanterns and then they had a mov- ing searchlight tournament. Fearing that some of the lanterns would be broken, word was dispatched to the park police station and Desk Sergeant Hugh O’Neil and an officer’came to rescue the big lamps. All the boys restored them ex- cept Chase. His spirit of playfulness was not to be repressed. The officer went on the ice in pursuit, but Chase only laughed and darted within tantalizing distance, Un- expectedly one of his skates became wnh- fastened and thus pursuer and pursued found themselves on equal terms. Chase dropped his lantern, but the angered Dlue- coat went after the young man. His companions, among whom were Will Rebstock, the Kelly boys, Herbert Moquon, William Kane, Leo Rassieur, Jr., Jim Jones and several Compton Heights boys jostled the officer, hoping that Chase would gain time to separate himself from his re- maining skate. The offcer pushed them aside, but they hung about him so that he made but little progress. Finally, to in- timidate them, he drew his pistol. Just then Chase kicked the refractory skate off his foot and left it, while he made tracks across the park. The officer has nothing to show for his exertion now except the skate, Death of George J.

FOR HER DEAR ONES: MRS. JOSEPH GOVAR SINNED AND WAS FORGIVEN. IS. IN DESPERATE STRAITS. Delicate Woman Trying to Support Her Sick Husband and Child Swin- dled a Sympathetic Acquaintance. A touching story of wifely devotion to an invalid husband came to light with the ar- rest of Mrs. Joseph Gover, Wednesdey morning. She was charged with obtaining a small sum of money and two candlesticks under false pretenses from Mrs. Justin Liewellyn of 609 Manchester av. After a brief inter- view with Chief Campbell, Mrs. Govar was discharged. Mrs. Liewellyn was so touched by the prisoner’s condition that she accompanied her to her humble home, 311 Plum st., and there partook of a cup of tea and volun- teered to assist Mrs. Govar. Mrs. Govar is a small, not unpreposses- ng woman of 21 years. Suffering and want ave pinched her features, but have failed » dim the luster of her clear blue eyes. Five years ago she was married to Joe Govar, a tobacco worker.
