BRIDE’S SISTER ENDS HER LIFE. LOVED THE MAN WHO BECAME HER SISTER’S HUSBAND. Tragic Sequel to a Story of Unrequited Affection, With Quiet Illinois . Farm Folks as the Chief Actors. Special to the Post-Dispatch. MOUWHDAQUA, Lil, Feb. 24.—Miss Grace Sanner took poison yesterday afternoon at the wedding feast of her sister. She is dead. She loved the man her sister mar- red; and, in the midst of the festivities following the ceremony, she slipped strych- nine into her coffee and laughed as she drained the cup. The Sanner home is a short distance from here in Penn Township, Shelby County. It is the farm home of Shields H. Sanner, one of the wealthiest farmers of the county. Early yesterday afternoon the home was a theater of fest‘'vity and happiness. John B,. Orris, a young man of prominence in the community, was to marry Miss Lena San- ner, and the guesis came in a numerous company to make merry in the Sanner home. The ceremony was performed at 4 o'clock, and when it was over the relatives and friends of the bride and groom pressed in to wish them great happiness. Among those who kissed the bride and pressed the hand of the groom was Miss irace Sanner, the bride’s half sister. In time gone the people of the Penn neighbor- hood had thought that Jack Orris loved Grace. They were understood to be en- gaged in those days, and when the young man chose Lena as his sweetheart people wondered what Grace thought of it and if she cared. The wooing of Lena went on so long that the other affair was forgotten, and when the engagement of Lena and Orris was announced and the wedding set for yesterday, people devoted all their in- terest to Lena and Jack and thought very little of Grace. She had done nothing to create @ruspicion that she might care very much # she did not say so, and she was a practical, busy girl. She taught at the school near her father’s home, and her de- meanor d‘id not hint of sentiment, weak or strong. And still there were those In the wedding company who had not forgotten that Grace was one time supposed to be the sweetheart of the man her sister was to marry yester- day and they watched her with a curiosity to see how a girl takes such things. All through the ceremony and congratulations Grace's actions told nothing. She looked | on as the rest while the couple was mar- ried, and she was among the first to reach her sister and her husband and express,her wish that they might always be happy. When the company sat down to the wed- ding feast she went with them and took a@ place with the rest. If she cared that her old lover had forsaken her for her sis- ter and that the wedding which might mean 60 much to her had filled her own home with the happiness of others—if she had a regret for it all she hid it and hid it well. Coffee was served when the wedding feast was at its height. Grace Sanner took from her pocket a little paper of stryghnine and shook the poison into her coffee. The People about her were too engrossed with the pleasantries of the feast to see. Their first intimation that the girl, unable to bear the happiness of others and the misery of her own wretched heart, was deliberately killing herself at the table, came when Grace sank forward wpon the table with a moan of “ee grief and pain. The feast of Belshazzar did not end more @bruptly than did that of the wedding arty at Farmer Sanner’s home. nor the ugh of light carelessness freeze more quickly on the lips. They knew. Intuition told them. Grace cared, after all. They rushed about in frenzy to save her life. They grabbed her from the chair and stood her upright. They shook her as though to shake off the stupor which even then had closed her eyes, Mes- sengers were sent for the doctors, and a hundred suggestions were made, and in the midst of it all the girl died. She loved her life less and Jack Orris more than anybody knew. WILL PLAY CARDS IN HIS TOME Ohio Capitalists Prepared Before Death to Have His Friends Make Merry Beside His Ashes.

FERHAPS INTENDED SUICIDE. WELL KNOWN AS MUSICIAN AND COMPOSER. —— — —- .__ _.. ‘Rose’ Had Torn Up His Translations, and He Took Chloral While at a Down- town Hotel. Prof. Waldemar Malmene, widely known in musical circles in this country and Europe, was found unconscious in the Van Studdiford Hotel, on Pine st., between Sev- enth and Eighth, at 8 o’clock Friday morn- ing. He was suffering from an overdose of chloral, perhaps taken with suicidal intent, At the City Dispensary Dr. Kearney ad- ministered temporary relief and forwarded the sufferer to the City Hospital. From a communication received by his son, Waldemar Malmene, Jr., of 3954 Sher- man place, Friday morning, the professor’s presence at the downtown hotel is thought to have been due to domestic troubles. The note, written on hotel stationery, is as follows: Feb. 23, 1899. Dear Waldemar—My disagreements with Roxe are such that I cannot stay at home to-night. I have been frequently ordered out of the house. Therefore Ihave taken a bed in this hotel. To- day, for the most trivial causes, she destroyed some of my translations which I had worked on two weeks. My mind is completely upset, as this is the third time she has taken such pace revenge. As I feel that I cannot sleep I ve taken a dose of chloral, which I hope will give me rest. I need it very much. This com- munication is, of course, private, but I feel I must tell someone. Come to see we in the morning. Love to all, your affectionate father, WALDBEMAR MALMEN Dr. Amix of the City Hospital staff found Prof. Malmene had long been a sufferer from kidney troubles. The coma in which the unconscious man lay from the time he was brought in as a patient. the doctor de- clared to be uremic rather than resulting from the drug. In a man of Prof. Mal- mene’s age, the doctor said, the symptoms were most discouraging, and though death might not ensue for several days it would in all probability have to be assigned to his organic complaint. Mrs. Rose Malmene called at the City Hospftal at 11 o’clock to see her husband. She is the person mentioned in the letter. Her first: information of her husband’s condition was learned about 9:30 o'clock from young Waldemar Malmene, her FON. fessor’s absence from home over night, and when her stepson called her first question was for her husband's whereabouts. Mr. M: ilmene left his home at 2706 Locust st. about 7 o’clock Thursday evening. Mrs. Malmene, the ‘Rose’ referred to, thought he was going to a Masonic lodge meeting. Mr. Malmene was a member of Keystone Lodge, No. 243, and frequently officiated as organist at the meetings of other lodges. ‘He was addicted to the use of chloral and morphine,”’ she said to a Post-Dispatch representative, “and when under the _ in- i fluence of a drug had an idea that he had ~ * ep - and ay his enemies were wait- ng to destro 1s liter compositions.’ ” ary and re None of Mr. Malmenes friends in the music and piano stores on upper Olive st. was surprised to learn of the teac her’s s1 us picious presence in the City Hospital. Fo the last six weeks, they said, he had " etnies « morose and unapproacheble. His eccentric traits, which were always pronounced, became aggressive. One gen- tleman, known well in St. Louis as the head of a piano firm. remarked that Mal- mene’s last evidence of mental disturbance was last week when he came into the store and demanded to see the head of the es- tablishment. “You have just given me a present.” the excited musician, “and I want to know how much it cost you. Then i shall know in what degre to reciprocate.” The untimely speech aroused the piano dealer, who took Mr. Ma!lmene to task for it. The two old friends parted with a cool- ness between them which has been softened only with the news that the despondent man was about to pass away. The Malmene family left St. Louts dur- ing the early spring of 18% to reside in Chicago. Mr. Malmene dd not encounter prosperity during the World’s Fair, and twice In that year swallowed morphine and chloral, apparertly to avcid further exisit- ence as a luckless man. Fach time he went to a hotel. As. he was always discovered | before death followed the dose. and subse- quently arrested, accounts for the fact that h’s attempts at suicide never became a subject of newspaper notice. It was his habit, hts wife says, to declare his intention to do away with himself every time he had a spell of the blues. Mr. Malmene had ‘been seen only onte or twice down town within the last ‘week. He had no regular office, but was accus- tomed to make the round of the Olive st. music stores to get his mail and meet those persons who wished to see him on busi- ness. It was noticed by all with whom he came in contact that he was more than omdinary meloncholy. Prof. Malmene thad He had no children by has a son and s'x daighters. is a Mrs. Barthold of Clayton. Prof. Malmene is a native of Germany and is about 6 years old. For many years he has been prominent in musical circles of St. Louis. Some of the best known musicians and vocalists in the city are numbered among his pupils. He was for a time musical Instructor in the Missouri School for the Blind, and in the St. Louis High School. He was a composer of many ballads and lees, some of the best tae ae of which are “Lips Like Roses,” “Ebb Tide,’ “Tell Me So” and “Invocation to Spring.” Prof, Malmene has GO 1e constderadle lit- erary work also, tr: oo ‘ting many articles from the Puropean neue izes for pubiica- tion in English.

Street Railway Secretaries Before the Committee—A Recommendation Ready for the General Assembly. — -——— -- A transcript of the evidence secured by the Major Committee in its investigation of the Boiler Inspector's office is in the hands of the grand jury. Chairman Major sent the typewritten report to Foreman J. B. C. Lucas by Sergeant-at-Arms Wooten Fyiday morning. “Damn-the-State-of-M'ssouri’’ Price, H. H, Philper and Harry A. Nuttall, the little grafter, will now be investigated by a body vested with power to indict. The case wil] doubtless be taken up at once, The grand jury’s partial report made Thursday disposed of most of the tangible charges before that body. While outlining other work the Boiler Inspector’s office can be taken up and disposed of. The Major Committee secured a moral convic- tion against Price, Philper and Nuttall. A rehearing of the evidence contained in the transcript is all that is necessary for the grand jury. The members of the Major Committee will be surprised if indictments are not returned in the case. They were so thoroughly satis- fied with the committee’s expose of specific irregularities in the office and the sale of engineers’ licenses that they refused to take up more time to uncover further instances of crookedness and ended the investigation, with a number of witnesses yet to be heard. The grand jury cannot indict on the mere transcript. They will subpena the wit- nesses heard ‘by the committee and possibly others. The transcript. is simply informa- tion for the grand jury, which is an inquir- ne body and must base testimony on verbal vidence. “The fact that -the grand jury has taken up fhe Price case has an important bearing on the future doings of the Major Commit- tee. The grand jury intends to follow up the committee's investigations, one by one, as the latter suggests. Stenographer Sambourin will begin work on a transcript of the sestimeny adduced in the License Commissioner's’ office as soon as possible, whieh will be sent to the grand jury when completed. In this letter to the grand jury accom- panying the transcrip: Friday. Chairman Major said he was pleased to comply with the request made Feb. 14, and that he would submit other information as fast as it came out in the committe room and could be transcribed. The morning session of the Major Com- mittee develoned into an investigation of the State Board of Equalization. Evidence as to the value of St. Louis street railway property was heard. The secretaries of the several companies testified as to the mar- ket value of their stocks and bonds. It is the purpose of the investigation to show that street railway companies pay taxes on only about one-half the value of their real and personal property. The as- sessment fs made bv the State Board of Equalization. The St. Louis assessor has nothing ta do with it. It is the committee’s theory that a rail- way company should pay taxes on a sum equivalent to the market value of the road, as shown by the quotations on its stoc ks and bonds; the real and personal property should be assessed from Wis standpoint, re- gardless of the value of ‘adjacent real es- tate and the cost of equipment. A recom- mendation to this effect wll be made in the committee's revort to the Legislature. She Lived a Century. , GREENUP, Ill...

ASSAULTED BY HIGHWAYMEN. FIERCE STRUGGLE WITH ROBBERS IN THE BLIZZARD. They Rified His Pockets and Left Him Dying in the Open—Found by a Neighbor, Who Carried Him Home. John Carron, a watchman St. Louis County, was found half frozen. unconscious and suffering from many wounds, on the Manchester road Thurs- day. He had lain there several hours and was picked up by a passing farmer, who conveyed him to his home in a wagon. Carron had revived sufficiently Friday morning to tell his story. He says at 2 o'clock Thursday morning, when the fierce gale began to sweep over the town of Ballwin, he started towards his home. He was walking in the teeth of the cold wind, along the Manchester road and hence did not observe. the men who were rapidly following in his footsteps. At a lonely spot the trio of highwaymen jumped upon Carron, who had turned just in time to avoid the first blow. He gave them instant battle, but found no oppor- tunity to get at his revolver. One of the three assaulted him fiercely from behind, using the butt end of a re- volver until he fell unconscious, bleeding from many wounds, Carron remembers nothing more until he was revived at home. His pockets were turned wrong side out and $2 in money— all he had—was gone. It will be remembered t Thursday morning’s weather was in e nature of a blizzard.

In view of it’ and Otis’ re- quest for reinforcements it is regarded as certa’n that the German naval commander has threatened to land marines at Mani‘a. t can be authoritatively stated that under no circumstnces will the United States con- sent to the landing of a foreign power. It is reeogenized that the situation in the far Kast has reached a most critical stage and grave consequences are possible. Dewey's fleet at Manila consists of the Baltimore, Monadnock, Yorktown, Petrel, Concord, Castine, Monocucy, Prince- Buffalo, Manila, Boston, Charleston, Olympia, (Monterey, Helena, Brutds, Callow, Scandia and Za- Benn naten Na ton, Culgoa, nehan, firo. No public official here will admit that he knows the nature of the “political reasons” which the Admiral says demand the imme- d'ate presence of the peerless battleship. The cablegram was taken to the Cabinet board and fully discussed there. There is a general belief that the far- sighted Dewey sees a gathering cloud in the East, and is looking to the prevention of any possible intervention or interference by European powers in the struggle now in progress In the neighborhood of Manila, It is believed that the big fires much of foreign in property residents and ‘busi- ness concerns was destroyed. That these fires were caused by the insurgents can- not ibe denied, and it may be that some of the foreign naval commanders in the Past are disposed to seize upon the pretext that demand protection which to make a landing their interests we cannot afford them, or do something obpoxioug to the United States and likely to encourage the insur- gents.

His forehead is high and broad; his nose long and straight. His lips are full and his mvuth large and shapely. His chin is large and’ firm. His «yes are small and black. They look weak and he wears constantly a pair of gold-r.mmed spectacies.

His dress is unusually neat for one who occupies the prisoners’ dock. His clothes are.of brown cassimere with modest, small checks. The coat is a sack, and the way it sits on his shoulders shows it is tailor-made. He wears a white shirt, turn-down collar and black tie, with a white and red thread running through it.

Secretary Long also came in for his share ofirony. Secretary long had the audacity, Mr. Johnson said, to repeat the baseless eharge that those oppcs*d to ratification of the treaty were respons idle for the blood- shed in the Philippines. As Mr. Johnson proceeded his remarkable utterances fairly amazed members of the House who gathered in the aisles to listen. ‘Christianizing with the sword and civil- fzing with cannon,’ he declared, was the admirnistration’s policy. , The President's speech at the Boston ban- vet, Mr. Johnson declared, was the most isingenuous that ever came from the lips of a Chief Executive. The amazement Mr. Johnson was creating increased as he likened the President to Pecksniff. If the President really felt that Congress should determine YRON the future of the Philippines, he asked “Why the Pres- ident did not call Congress in extra session and then keep his hands off. He charged that the President coerced the Senate into ratifying the treaty; that he would not permit a vote on the Bacon resolution ard only allowed the McEmery resolution, which meant nothing, to pass in order to lull the opposition of the country to sleep while he went ahead waging re- 1 Speaking of arrangements for the Porto Rican expedition, Gen.

Baker, the official police photographer, who took views of the scene of the trag- cdyy was placed on the stund. He exhibited a number of the photographs. ‘There is one Woman who has been present at every session of-.court, since the trial be- gan who has attracted no little attention. She is young, handsome and well dressed. She sits well in the front of seats reserved for spectators and listens intently to every- thing that pertains to the case. Ehe follows Campbell Allgaier with her eyes when he enters or leaves the court. It ‘'s said she is something more than a friend. None of the court officials know who she is. She speaks to no one, and no one who has attempted to speak to her has been an- swered, She is voung, is a decided brunette aml wears a veil. Witness said Baker and Aligaier were about two feet apart when they were talk- ing outside. When the shots were fired they were about five feet enart. Baker’s back was turned toward Alleaier. The shirt that Mr. Baker wore when he received the fatal wound was held within a few feet of Mrs. Baker's eve. The bullet hole, surrounded by a black spew@t caused by the pawder was plainlv visible. Mrs. Baker was affected by tibe erlics No tears escaved her, but her eyes twitched nervously ard a tremor shook her figure as_ the terrible tragedy was so vividlv recalled.

COL. BRYAN IN. WASHINGTON. Warmly Greeted by Senator Daniel and Other Friends in the Senate Chamber. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—When tle great marble room of the Senate Was crowded with Senators and their friends late yes- terday there came slowly through the cor- ridor a man of medium size, round of face and figure, swarthy of complexion, long, black hair hanging down his back, un- shaven, rugged of appearance, carrying an old ‘hat poised over his right forearm and an overcoat on his left. As this figure, statement wus intended to bear upon Gen. Miles’ statement that funds for purchase of supplies in Porto Rico were not available. Here were read telegrams between Gen. Eagan and Col. Weston, the latter in Tam- pa, relative to the sending by a pack ng firm of beef, refrigerated, to Tampa, to test how long it would keep after removal from the iceboxes, with a view to the making ef contracts after the breaking out of the war. The beef when removed ftom _ the ice box and hung up was declared servicable within 48 hours whereas that left in the box after ice disappeared could not be used after 18 hours. Frozen beef was declared by commissary officials at Tampa as: the best solution of the fresh beef problem until circumstances were such aa would admit of the prompt delivery and use of refrigerated beef. “Ample and complete,’’declared Gen, Eagan, “was the authority of the Commis- sioners in Cuba and Porto Rieo to pur- chase ‘beef on the hoof for any emergencies or at the will of their respective comman- ders. Reports received, he said, showed, he thought without exception that the native beef was not nearly so satisfactory as the refrigerated beef. The latter tends to dis- place beef on the hoof, wherever both are equally available. WILL SOLDIERS RESENT THIS? Maj. Osgood Says the Men Who Com- plained Had Diseased Livers. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—A part of the evidence of Maj. ‘Henry Osgood, acting as- eistant Commissary General, before the Beef Inquiry Court will be sharply re- sented by the soldiers who complained of the meat rati6én. The Major told the com- mittee, in speaking of the men and their complaints: ‘‘All their livers were out of whack. I estimate that 99 per cent of them had enlarged livers and they were ready to complain at everything—wanted to be fed all the time on delicacies.”’ EDWARD A.

The happy woman nearly fainted from joy. The young man explained that he had been shot with a Mauser builet and later had been ill with typhoid fever. There was another happy meeting that nome, hold-up Jesse James went out, got returned and put his aunt on the car. He went to the dr store, played the slot ma- chine and drank some soda water. He remained around the drug store till after 9 o’clock and then took a short cut to his Witnesses will swear he went to the rch of his home at 9:20, and with his mother, andmother and sister, was eit- ting on that porch when the explosion of the dynamite was heard. He went _to be and remained there until a police officer in citizen’s clothes awakened him. “We don't deny that Lowe came to Jesse’s stand and talked to him. So he did to men in the Collector's and Assessors office. We will show that Lewe was ar- rested on the statement of Lowe's own wife. They kept him in an isolated place for weeks and then forced him to confess. They dragge@ James into it because he was seen talking to Lowe. Then they ar- rested Jesse’ James and took him to West- port and told him al the others had con- feased and that they knew the sixth man his cousin, Robbie James, son of Frank James. Then they releas him but ar- rested him again. He made a statement of his whereabouts and it is a significant fact he has never varied from this. William W. Lowe, the self-confessed train robber, and upon whose evidence the State relies mainly to convict yourg Jesse James, told this story to the jury: “Do you know Jesse James?” “Fea. sir.”* ; ‘When did you first meet him?’ “Last May in Kreuger’s court when Jack Kennedy was having a hearing. | was 4 witness for Kennedy and he was a witness for Kennedy, too. Jesse and I were sittin in Kimrell’s law office and we introduce ourselves to one another. He spoke to me about train hold uos. I told him that was no place to talk about such business. He invited me then to come over to the Court- house. I went over several times “Did Jack Kennedy tell you about Jesse’ This question was objected to by Mr. Walsh. Prosecutor Reed said he intended to show a conspiracy between Kennedy, Lowe and Jesse, and that they planned this robbery together. The judge allowed Lowe to tell what conversation he had with Ken- nedy about Jesse. Lowe said he talked with Kennedy when Kennedy was in jail about train robbery. and ennedy said Jesse was all right. Kennedy said to Lowe: “I wouldn't go into this robbery with you if I got out on bond.”’ “Did you talk with Jesse James about robbing a train?’ “Yes, sir. We first intended to do this job Sept. 1. About Aug. 31 I was over to the Courthouse to see Jesse at his cigar stand. If had laid off from my work on pur- pose to do this job. But when I went to the Courthouse to see Jesse uncle. Frank James. was there. Jesse {ntroduced me to him and told me to go away and come back after a while.

Three .bal- lots were taken. : As Clerk McGee was reading the verdict Foley's two sisters, his cousins and an uncle and other relatives came in the doer. James J. Morrow, Foley's brother-in-law also entered the door and when he heard the verdict he fell on a bench at the door and cried aloud. The sistens and the other relatives hurried’to roley and threw their arms around his neck and kissed him re- peatediy. Fo.éy was perfectly cool. Foley could not go free, however, for he was indicted separately for the murder of his mother and sister. He was tried for killing his mother and the charge of kili- ing hws sister still remains against hin. Prosecuting Attorney Becry asked that the defendant be held and i was so ordered, Foley and his relatives were allewed to go = the Sheriff's office and talk for a haf our. Foley would net even say whether he had expected a verdict of acquital or con- viction. Foley is expected to remain in jail here until the April term of court when the case will be called. Notwithstanding Foley's acquittal, predictions are made that the Clay County murder may yet be solved. 7 tavestment: Haase’s Gold Bond Se cigar. SENATOR JONES MUST REST.

The Bulgaria was spoken by the Weehawken on Feb. 6. She was pro- nounced to be in a sinking condition. She had a crew of 9S men and carried 41 pas- sengers. The Weehawken lost sight of the Bul- garia during Feb. 56 and was obliged to proceed, her small boats having been ewept away and her bunkers being full of water. The rescued passengers of the Bul- garia reported that the cargo of the Bul-' ria shifted, throwing the steamer on her eam ends, and that although a quantity of her cargo was jettisoned, the crew were unable to right her. During the gale 100 horses were lost from the Bulgaria and @ boat with five men in her went adrift. The story of the experience of the Bul- garia as told by Second Officer Scharges, whe was picked up by the Weehawken, is a thrilling one. “On Feb. 1, at about 8 p. m.,” said he, “a hurricane of so severe a nature was encountered that it was found impossible ‘to make any headway, and at 2 a. m. following day we were forced to heave to. The flying bridges, both fore and aft, were carried away and seamen and passengers were afraid to venture on deck for fear of being swept into the sea. About 7 a. mM. the spring in the rudder, which is used to break the strain of heavy seas, collapsed, and soon afterward the entire steering gear was washed away. The steamer then feli in the trough and was left at the mercy of the wind and waves. ; “Sea after sea swept over us,’’ continued Second Officer Scharges, ‘“‘smashing in the doors of the calbin, and deck houses, flood- ing the main deck, and creating havoc and disorder al! over the ship. To make matters worse 100 horses that were stabled on the upper forward deck, stampeded and in their fright made a wild dash, trampling each other to death. This state of affairs lasted until all but 20 had been killed or drowned in the waeh of the waves. “Then the butcher of the vessel with a number of seamen went into the pen and tried to quiet the beasts that remained. This falling, as did also the attempt to force the frenzied animals overboard, their throats were cut. Before the maddened animals were dispatched, however, tho butcher had both his legs broken and one of the seamen was badly injured. “Any idea that cur troubles were over was soon dispelled when it was found that the vessel] was ieaking. All the hatch cOver- ings had been blown off and before they could be replaced four of the seven holes filled and all had considerable water in them. The cargo next shifted, listing the @teamer heavily to port. In addition the carcasses of the dead horses washed aport, edding to the heavy list. “For 72 hours,”’ safd Mr. Scharges, ‘‘pas- sengers and crew worked like slaves, throw- ing cargo overboard t® lighten the ship, but it was of little avall. —— “Inch by inch, foot by foot, the ship set- thd. and as she sank deeper the waves Washed with greater force and freedom over her. One wave carried away eight of the lifeboats from the tow-lying port side, and with these went much of the hope from the hearts of ae ngers and crew. “At 4 o'clock on the morning of the 6th,” he continued, “‘the order wae given to call all hands on deck to prepare to take to the onan boats. . * ’ e water had floode@ithe engine and four pumps could rot Looe tt Goon.

Then to add ghastliness to the gruesome work, the butcher carted his dead and mutilated victim about the country for two or three days in a rickety old farm wagon. looking for a safe place to throw it away. The spot selected was a wild gorge, too deep and too rugged to. be called a ravine. Thinking, perhaps, that the trunk would be readily spied by pas- sers-by, the butcher unloaded his ghastly charge piece by piece, limb by limb, de- positing it in a natural depression worn by the water into the walls of the gorge. This much accomplished, he sought to hide all evidence by piling loose stones upon the heap of human flesh. This plan might have successfully pre- vented detection, bad not the murderer in his anxiety, covered the stony grave with a wagon sheet, such as are used in cover- GEORGE The Texas County Farmhand, in Jail a LOGAN, Charged With Murder of His Employer our _—_— pedy of Thomas was hacked to p‘eces and packed into a little old-fashioned trunk in @& most brutal and revolting manner. George Logan, who is accused of the erime and who has been brought here for mafekceping in fear of an attempted lynch- Ing, pressed his rustic, boyish face against the bars of the Springfield Ja‘l this morn- ing and talked about the murder in falter- ing tones. He looks the typical M’‘ssouri plowboy rather than a brutal murderer. “I swear to God I am not guilty of that Murder, and the report that I made a confession to Sheriff Cantwell of Texas County is a lie,”’ insisted Logan. ‘I’m giad I'm here instead of in our jail at home, for they lynch people sometimes down in Texas County, and I know the mob would have had me by this time if I had been kept there,” he continued in his simple a © was noticeably nervous while he talked, and before he had spoken a dozen words his lips twitched convuisively and he Wiped tears from his big watery blue eyes wi AS coarse gotten handkerchief, more closely questioned Logan ad- mitted that he had hauled a trunk about the county, but denied that there was a forpse in the trunk. “Tne trunk I hauled belongeli to Thomas.” he explained, ‘‘and as he had gone to Richland on horseback to take a train I followed in the wagon stb his trunk, so he could take it with im, for he was going on a trip to Nebras- a so hé told me. went to Richland, and not finding Thomas there, went back Pome. taking the trunk with me.

This odd cover- ing attracted attention. It was lifted by a'‘party of hunters who happened through the gorge. Their curiosity thus arroused, they cast the stones aside and brought the revelation that has organized all Tex- as County into a vigilance committee, and placed young Logan and the two women behind the bars charged with murder. the women were the instigators of the murder. They are still held in jail at Houston, county seat of Texas Counfy. Although the citizens are greatly aroused, Sheriff Cantwell depends for the time being upon the chivairy of Texas County to protect the women, but to avoid any possibility of violence, they will probably be brought to Springfield for. safe keeping within a day or two. The theory of the authorities is that the women planned the murder and that Lo- gan executed it. Mrs. Kilman is Logan's aunt, and Mrs. Williams is her neighbor. Both women are alone in the world. The husband of one is in the _ penitentiary, while the husband of the other is a fugi- tive. Logan was a hired hand on Thomas’ ranch, and this fact In itself was enough to cause him to be questioned. Further suspicion waa aroused by the statements of several reputable farmers that Logan had pagsed along the road to Richland after the Srapearente of Thoms, driving a wag- on in which Was a trunk or box, now be- lieved to have been the receptacle contain- — the corpse. t was also observed that Logan, after returning to the ranch, wore a watch and chain krown to belong to Thomas.

There they lived. working, cooking and eating and sleeping together. Go far as known, there had nev- er been any enmity between them. Soon after the finding of the corpse there was a meeting of citizens at a country: schoolhouse near Roby, Texas Loans, which ts near the Pulaski County line, It and was determined that'a vigilant effort would , be made to run down the murderer. A committee was assigned to see Logan and question him, His answers were so» unsat- isfactorv that one of the vigilantes point- edly accused him of the murder. Others joined in the accusation, and Logan, fear- img that he would be summarily dealt with, oO ed to surrender to an officer, claiming ali the while that he was innocent. The committee agreed to his proposition, and the vouth wae delivered to the custody of a constabie, who took him overland to the county seat, where he was given into the keeping of the Texas County Sheriff. The Texas County Jail is built of undressed native stone, and there are hoks in the walls where the boulders do not join to- gether When the attempt would be made to storm the jail and lynch Logan, he hurried him into a wagon and drove to Cabool. where he boarded a train for this city, leaving the women, Who hed been arrested soon after Logan Was taken by the Citisens’ Com- mittee, behir ‘A Much evidence against Logan committee had to after th to the law. for came ier’ os surren order ha ies ee ie a Land her name is Susie Wallace.

Logan dried his eyes and refused to talk further along the line on which he had begun. George Logan is 21 years old, but looks younger. He is as ungainly as he is ill ter- ate.

AFTER TWENTY-TWO YEARS. John H. Power Found His Sister, Whom He Had No Hope of Ever Seeing Again. John H. Powers, a farmer living at Neosho, Mo., passed through St. Louis Fri- day en route home from Cloverport, Ky.. where he had been to visit his sister, whom he had not seen in 22 years, and of whom he lost all trace of 20 years ago. He spent an hour in the waiting room at Union Station, and while there told his story to a reporter., : “Back in_ the seventies,’’ ; my folks lived at Joplin. Mo. Father was interested in lead mines there. My sister, Julia, and I, were the only children. got married and so did Julia. In 1877 father died. Soon afterward Julia went with her husband to live in another town. That's the last I saw of her until our re- cent meeting. I moved to Neosho and got a good strip of land and knuckled down to improve it. I wrote to Julia, but received no reply. She was in a small town near Carthage, but I could not locate her. Nearly twenty years passed and I gave up all hope of ever seeing her again. About six months ago I received a letter. It was from Julia. t was six months’ old, and must have passed through a dozen postof- fices. In it she said she had been trying to trace me all the time, .and wondered why I never answered her letters. She was then in Metropolis, Il., but has since moved to Cloverport. “My Yer togg 4 died a few months ago, and we sold the farm. Then, as I had time, J went to see Julia. Her husband has a fine place and is prosperous, but poor Julia has consumption. I'm afraid I will not see her again.”’ ’ MISS MORGAN WON. The Speaker’s Stenographer Again on the Payroll. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 24.—A pret- ty girl, Miss Dorothy Morgan of Kansas City, drove the first wedge into the House’s new policy of economy this morning. Miss Morgan was the Speaker's stenographer until yesterday when the reduction resolu- tion caused sher discharge. She was recom- mended to the Speaker by Representative Cardwell of that city. When she was discharged yesterday she d‘d not weep or mourn, but smiled as pleas- antly as ever. Mr. Cardwell and her other friends set to work, and this morning the former offered a resolution providing for her retention. There was a good dea! of grumbling among the old members, who re- garded it as merely the beginning of a re- storation of the old scandulous clerical] force; but the young and middle-aged fe}- lows voted for Miss Morgan, and she was retained, 58 to 43. George T. Lee said the House would as we'll re-employ all the men discharged yesterday. Out of the clerical force reduction grew a plan by which the defeat of the St. Louis Police Bill was to be made the lever for the restoration of at least one clerk. said he with having made proffers to the Republi- cans to deliver to them enough votes to de- feat the police bill if they would vote to re- store him and certain other clerks. Vice-President Harry Hawes and Capt. McNamee were informed of the plan. They found the clerk, took him to a room in a hotel, and told him his plan was fully known, and he would better drop it. He denied the charge, but was told that de- nials would not help him. He was much frightened. The friends of the police bill set about undo'ng any mischief the clerks might have accomplished. It is charged that the clerk continued his negotiations this morning. LOCKIAW AFTER VACCINATION, Remarkable Death of a 12- Year-Uld Boy. PUPIL ROCK SPRINGS SCHOOL. TETANUS MICROBE FROM THE LAD’S FINGER NAIIS. An Incident Which Is Puzzling the City Physicians—Disease Not Caused by the Vaccine Virus, “Tetanus caused by vaccination’ was the explanation given by Dr. F. KE. Chase of Rock Springs on the death certificate, re- turned Wedne.cday, of Willie Schmiedes, the 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schmiedes of 4441 Papin st. It ‘s said to be the first case of leckjaw due to vaccina- tion on record in St. Louis. Friday Dr. Chase said he did not mean to imply that the virus caused lockjaw, but that the wound or opening made by the vacc-ne joint nad afforded an entrance for the tetanus microbes. To be he Said death was due to “tetanus by the traumatism of vaccination.”’ Willie Schmiedes died an agonzing death. For three days he was in spasms. Toxemla ensued, the m-.crobes consuming the life particles in the blood and throwing off ¢ toxic poison in the lad’s veins which finally caused his demise., On Jan. 2%, Dr. vaccine phys cians. exact, caused Specht, one of the city visited the Rock Springs school, which is held in Foerstel’'s Halil, Tower Grove av. and Clayton road. Miss Margaret K. Slater, the principal, an- nounced in each room that such pupils as desired to be vaccinated should repair to the k_ndergurten room, bare their arms and submit to the operation. Willie was re- garded as a weakling and shown consider- ation on that account, and when he was asked whether he desired to be vaccinated, and he answered in the affirmative, M-ss Slater put the same question to his younger brother, Harry, on Willie’s behalf. “Yes; he can be vaccinated. Mamma said he should have it dome next time the doc- tor came,” said Harry to Mss Slater. He marched downstairs with 2 other youthful candidates for immunizaticn. Dr. Specht told the boys to remove their coats, roll up one sleeve and then fall into line for the arm-scratching process. After each scratching the patient: was told to stand near the steam radiator so that the exposed sore should. become encrusted. Willie followed instructions. Miss Slater observed that he was grow- ing pale and had him sit down on one of the kindergarten chairs, near the radiator. Hardly had he seated himself when he fainted. Dr. Specht dashed water in his face and then applied cold clothes to the back of his neck, He recovered. It was then 11:45 o’ clock, ard Miss Slater detailed a boy to walk home with Willie At the afternoon session she was prised to see him return. “What, you back! Do you feel it. He did enough to stay?" she asked, The boy said he could stand for a day or two. His arm became swollen, however, and finally his mother kept him indoors. Four days ago Dr. Chase was summoned. He diagnosed lockjaw and in- jected tetarus anti-toxin. but the muscles contracted, one spasm followed another and he passed away. Thursday the white casket was carried to Bethania Cemetery on the St. Charles rock road, followed by a few mournefs. Rev. C. F. Stark read the Lutheran burial service at the grave and the boeyv of the patient who is likely to stir up a contro- verey between the followers and onponerts of Dr. Jenner was lowered into the clay. Dr. Chase said Friday: “When I was called the bov’s arm was in bad shave, } not any worse than many arms of v cinated persons whom I have seen. were svmptoms of lockiaw, however. takes three weeks for this disease to velon. and TI learned that the vaccine rus had been injected at such an interval.

CALLED IN BY THE GOVERNOR. A CONFERENCE HELD TO AGREE ON LEGISLATION. Speaker Ward’s Course and the Clerical Scandal Likely to Bring About a Reorganization of the Lower House. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, (Mo., Feb. 4.—No Ka- leidoscope could change more completely or with greater rapidity than has the situa. tien in the Legislature in the past 24 hours. There has been a new alignment, Gov. Stephens has openly called to h'‘s aid tne very men whom wd than a month ago ne desounced as assistant Republicans, while the stock of Speaker Ward has steadily dropped. In fact, on every hand one hears talk about a reorganization of the House, and in the present unsettled state of that eccentric body it would be no wonder if it did choose another set of cff.cers. But that is in the uncertain future. Things strange enough are happening Wilaout speculating about what may hap- en. “ro can be little doubt that in the eyes of most persons who know the situation, Speaker Ward :s a political orpnan, He was elected Speaker by Auditor Sel- bert, and when Mr. Seibert advised him to be politic and treat the Whitecotton fill- pino faction well .m the disposal of the com- mitiee chairmanships, the man from §tod- dard turned a deat ear and ignored every member who had supported any but him- seif. He became exceedingly friendiy with the Governor, and Mr. Seibert dropped him, The :ntimacy between the Speaker and the Governor Was Warmest when the Governor had his tilt with Whitecotton and the Fiii- pinos. But the Governor saw the trouble that was ahead in the clerical force scandal and other matters pertaining to'Mr, Ward's admin.stration, and he said so. Then Mr. Ward made his bud break with the news- paper correspondent, and the mutterings of the storm over the clerical force steal arvose until it became thunder. Mr. Ward paid no heed. -Charges of his bartering commi(ltee chairmanships for patronage were no warn- ing to him. He held on to nis course to the last. “ ‘he crash came yesterday, and (Mr. Ward Was not present to suffer its humiliation. he seandalous Clerical force wh-.ch he had created by the pledges he made in order lv become Speaker Was cut down by one- fourth. Many of the men who supported Ward voted tor the reduction. A scandal which could have been prevented In the Dde- ginning, but for the shameless trading for patronage wirich elected Ward and whica has prevented any serious work by the Hquse, which was powerless under .ts Ies- tering diseuse, hus peen partially swept away, and witn it, in toe omrion of all who are Watching closely, has gone the influ- ence of the one who made lt pcas.bie. Immediately Gov. Stephens took advan- tage of the nope for good work. heid out by the reduction of the clerical force. He buried all animosities, seemingly, and sought to bring together ail the elements in the House for the purpose of getting legislation that will lift the State’s finances out of the slough of despond. He invited Whitecotton, Lee, gan, Clark of Audrain, Barnett, Bohart, Woolfolk, Rubey, Noel and one or two others..f the House, and Senators Orchard, = es, Toung, Felis, ‘Thomas and Jic- fc to a conference in his office. The rs tamed represent every faction in suse. Whitecotron, Lee and Organ are nos, @,o0d and true. Barnett, Bohart, 4 and Noel were among Speaker Ward's nchest sipporters, Chinn, Woolfolk and ey belonzed to the dowbtful class who themselves to no faction, but voted they pleased, or as they thought best. The essence,of this situation revealed by a personnel of the conferees is that Gov. .ephens sees plainly that there is no songer any hope of securing the needed leg- islation by a continuance of the Ward al- liance and he bas asked those whom he once fought to help him get legislation that the State needs. The Governor told the members and Sen- ators that the State was in a very em- barrassed condition; that a heavy deficit confronted the Administration and the party; that the revenue was not anywhere near sufficien} to meet the requirements; and that some way must be devised to make ends meet. They must enact some laws that would increase the revenue and must ne the apptopriations to the minimum gure. Then fojlowed a general harmonjous conference. It was generaily agreed that Auditor Seibert’s suggestion that the State’s — of the revenue derived from saloon licenses be incrdased to $200 a year, without increasing the jotal tax should be passed, It was suggested as another means of in- creasing the ref\enue that a licenge tax of $3 be imposed Upon all vendors of liquor in the State, which would include drug stores. Senator Orchard and Representative Whitecotton were appointed a committee by the Governor, who acted as chairman of the conference, tg frame such a law and Teport at another conference to be held within a few days. The conference then ended. The meaning of this is that the gentlemen who participated in this conference and a@ny others who ay be invited to future meetings, will constitute a steering com- mittee, which will he backed by the Gov- ernor, whose objec will be to direct legis- fation in the desired channels and to get Some work out of the Leg'slature. When Speaker Watd returns he will find situation the complete reverse of what was when he went away. Gov. Stephens, in fiiscussing the confer- ence, sald: { “Il called these gentlemen to confer with me because I thought'it proper they should know the deplorabl Cdnadition of the State's finances. I wanted to few their aid in mak- Chinn, Or- a dt ing the ends meet. Tevenue must be in- creased and approepricfiions cut down.

Unfortunaiely, on a@c- | count of the wording of the resolution, and | the spirit of subservience to members which | prevails among the heads of departments, the result will probably be that most of the men discharged will be the most efficient, while the clerks who are relatives of mem- bers are those who obtained their places solely on account of political pull will re- main.

DOWDY DESERVES REWARD. An Interesting Incident of the San-| tiago Campaign. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The records of the War Department show an interesting story in connection with the nomination by the President of an officer on the retired list of the army, Robert W. Dowdy, to be Captain in active service, At the outbreak of the Spanish war Dowdy was a Lieuten- ant in the 17th Infantry. As the troops were lying at Tampa waiting to embark he took his examination for promotion as a Captain, but was found physically unfit. The recommendation of the Board that he be retired was forwarded to Washington. Meantime the 17th went to Cuba and Dowdy went along. He was in the thick of the fighting everywhere, suffered every hard-. ship and exposure and went through the! whole campaign without losing a day from iliness. Just as the troops returned in vic-, tory to the United States the papers came. hack from Washington retiring Dowdy|! from service. Upon looking into the case} the President was satisfied that this was a narticular hardehip and that the man who | was «trong enough to render such sérvice as | Dowdy had rendered was good enough to’ retain in active service, hence the nomina- | tion.

As told in the Post-Dispatch, Gregory is now in jail on the charge of obtaining money on worthless drafts from Mrs. Ayer, 'a Grand av. florist. “The ‘Baron’ appears to have an idea that florists are easy to swindle,’’ says Mr. Freshman. “It was the week before Christ- mas that he tried to ‘work’ me, I saw an advertisement én the Fost-Dispateh of- fering a pawn ticket for gale.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—By removal of a piece of bone from each side of the skull ‘Marion Featherstone, aged 3, will, the doc- tors are now sure, be saved from hopeless idiocy, and probably will grow up a woman of normal intellect. A second operation will be necessary in two or three weeks to com- plete the work, but from the success of the first operation performed this week the surgeons have no doubt that the recovery of the child will 'be complete. Surgeons at Bellevue found that the sutures forming the large bones of the skull of the child had become prematurely ossified, thus preventing the dévelopment of the brain. The child was etherized and a piece of bone two inches long was taken from the left side of the skull, commencing just above the temple and extending toward the back of the. héad. By this operation the occipital and parietel bones, which had become firmly united, were separated. A similar operation on the right side of the head will ‘be performed in two or three weeks. IT WAS A DESPICABLE TRICK. Mr. Gustave Dooley and 120 Carpen- ters Were the Victims. A despicable trick was played upon Gus- tave Dooley of 455 N. Sarah st. and 120 car- penters in search of employment. a Last Sunday a “Carpenters Wanted ad. of two lines appeared in the Post-Dispatch as coming from the above number. An in- vestigation made and reported by the Globe- Democrat showed that 120 men responded. Mr. Dooley was unable to understand the eall of the army of carpenters, which in- cluded the Secretary of the Carpenters Council, who urged that none but Union men be employed. However, on consulta- tion with some of the callers who pro- duced the smal! ‘‘ad.” from the Sunday Post-Dispatch, the fact was revealed that some competitor or disgruntled person had pie yed the trick on him. In behalf of the victim and of the car- penters who lost their time, an investiga- tion has been started. About 2 o’clock Saturday a middle-aged man, apparently a workingman, drove up in front of Lamont’s drug store, corner Boyle av. and Olive st., which {s Branch Office No. 164 of the Post-Dispatch. He had a rather dilapidated spring’ wagon, without any sign. He stated that he wanted some carpenters and requested that a ‘“‘want ad” be written out. This was done at his dictation, as it appeared in the paper. He tarried a few moments in the store, lighted a cigar he had bought, and left suddenly, as his horse had taken fright at a passing car and started to run away. Mr. Lamont states that he can easily identify the man if confronted with him. An_ investigation looking to identification and prosecution, if any law can be found to cover the offense, is under way. COURT LENIENT TO A SLAYER. Though He Killed a Discharged Pris- oner He Is Out on Bond. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 24.—Bob Camp- bell, the Hernando (Miss.) Deputy Sheriff who shot and killed Louis Norvell, a dis- charged prisoner, in the presence of Judge Stephens while court was in session, has been granted bail in the sum of $2000 in a magistrate’s court. The verdict of the mag- istrate came as a@ surprise, as the shooting was without notice, the discharged prisoner unarmed and the crime committed in the resence of one of the most distinguished udges in the State, fust after he had deliv- ered a judicial opinion. Workers in Each Packing House Have a Particular Grievance. OMAHA, Neb, Feb. 4.—A strike of all the employes in the South Omaha pack- ing houses, involving 3000 men, is {mmi- nent.

The men assert they are getting only half time and in many instances less, At Swift's and Cudaby’s the most genera] complaint is against the superintendents. At Armour’s the chief complaint is wages. While Hammond’s men object to an of- ficial, a relative to the general manager, evho is accused of discharging men with- out cause.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—At a special meet- ing of the directors of the Chicago, -Bur- lington & Quincy Railroad, held in Boston yesterday, it was decided to raise $5,000,000 for improvement and equipment purposes and to issue $18,000,000 in new bonds, with the proceeds of which the Chicago, Bur- ington & Northern and the Keokuk & Western Railroads are to be bought in, and the Ottawa, Oswego & Fox River Road 8 per cent bonds, falling due in 1900, are to be liquidated.

Either Wall street does not understand the terms of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy .refunding scheme or considers the bond feature weak, for yesterday when Burlington thhad touched 148% it fell off to 143% on the announcement of the refunding plan, and closed rather weak at 143%. THEY WILL STIR ALL LONDON. Preparations for the Christian En- deavor Convention in 1900. BOSTON, Feb. 24.—The United Society of Christian Endeavorers has received an offi- cial statement of the preparations for the World’s Endeavoror convention, to be held in London in the summer of 1900. Rev. W. Knight Chaplin, Secretary of the London convention committee, says: “We are not leaving things to pile upon us toward the last. The hospitality com- mittee is preparing to make at once a pre- liminary test for handling visitors by a systematic canvass and by advertising for available accommodations within 12 miles of Charing Cross, the center of town. The Vice-President of the National Christian Citizenship League, Edward Page Gaston of London, writes that those who come to London expecting to see the city swaying in banners and gala decorations may be disappointed, for such displays are not made even for royalty in this unexcitable latitude. But London will be stirred before it is done with, and a part of the process will be qa half-hour’s international song service on Monday afternoon, July 16, in Trafalgar Square, after which the march will be taken, six abreast, down Pall Mall to Hyde Park, where the demonstration is expected to be the greatest religious gath- ering the United Kingdom has ever seen, if, indeed, its like has been known any- where. oe MA bie Vitalizer, “CUPIDEN RESTORED ve cat es ten as coun naan liver, the and restores sma!! weak curfnuene suff - hb ne Be, tu cure without un operation, 5000 testimonial Aw = by mall does not effect a permavent cure. $1.00 a box,6 for 4 aad, rcular and testimoniais, ras DAVOL MEDICINE CO., P. 0.

Dallas Salesman Asks the Court for Her Release and for $100,000 From an Alleged Admirer. DALILAS, Tex., Feb. 24.—Will R. Morris, a traveling salesman of the American To- bacco Co., has filed suit against J. B. War- field, his superintendent, for alienation of the affections of Mrs. Morris. The petition asks that Warfield be restrained from fur- ther a'ttention to the woman, and that ‘Morris be awarded $100,000 damages for the injury inflicted by Warfield up to date. Judge Morgan has granted the relief of a temporary restraining order and set the case for hearing on its merits at the April term of court. The Sheriff was instructed to serve papers without loss of time. Mr. ‘Morris accuses Warfield of betraying his friendship and confidence for more than a year, and claims that Mrs. Morris is con- cealed in the keeping of Warfield’s con- federates at a house in this city, in the hope that she will sue for and procure a divorce, that he may marry her.

Kent,who commanded a division in the Santiago campaign, ‘‘was often, repulsive in appearance, and all nutriment nad apparently been extracted.”’ This stuff was certainly not supplied to the army by “copperheads” and “traitors.” It is “treason,” how- ever, to say that it was issued to our soldiers. oe THANKS TO THE TURNERS. The young people of St. Louis owe the local Turners’ sO- cleties thanks for the good work done at the Coliseum enter- tainment Wednesday night, the profits from which are to be used to secure and equip a public playground. - Favored by the weather, the Zymnastic exhibition was an Unqualified success. St. Louis Turners are second to none in Sgility, discipline and public spirit. Asthe result of their efforts on this occasion, it seems certain that at least one public playground will be secured. This work is of great importance, as it is intended to last forall time. It is the beginning of changes in our city life the results of which will be largely increased health and happiness for coming generations. It is to be hoped that the Turners will be aided, both by the city and individuals, in making this good start a success. If one public playground is opened, St. Louisans wil] see to it that others follow. The good effect will be evident, and every district of the city will want to fall into line. a ++ ———____—_—- shington had been hauled down, Many careless Americans celebrated his birthday. oe THE COUNCIL OF WOMEN AND POLYGAMY. - The National Council of Women at Washington passed a Fesolution that “no person shall be allowed to hold @ place ’ in a law-making body when a lawbreaker himself.” The Utah delegates opposed this bitterly and for a time the Gissolution of the council was threatened.

John Bull loves Jonathan as David loved that other Jonathan, but he will take good care not to let go of the main chance. A love that rests upon selfish interest lacks some of the elements which make love sweet. In dismissing 69 useless clerks the State House of Repre- sentatives has in part, at least, redeemed its record. It has done something toward checking legislative nepotism and spoliation. The Post-Dispatch's anti-extravagance campaign will save the State a considerable sum. But the retrenchment is not sufficient. The House should continue its work and the Senate should take it up. i, ir. ie @ oe. - WISDOM'S GUIDE POSTS. Washington's tolemp warning against foreign entanglements has been the mainstay of anti-imperialists. The Sunday Post- Dispatch showed how irreconcilable with the sentiments of Abraham Lincoln is the imperialistic policy of his degenerate successors. One searches in vain the utterances of great statesmen and thinkers for a defense of imperial aggrandize- ment. On the other hand, the greatest thinkers have written immortal protesis against it. In a speech made in Harrisburg in 1852, Daniel Webester said: let other governmments do as they will, it is not our duty to traverse the earth and make proselytes. Owr business is to prosglyte by our example, to convert man to republicanism by showing what repuvhblicanism can do in promoting the true ends of government. By this we can do more than a thous- and emissaries, more than ten thousand Peter the Hermits. Again in the Faneuil Hall speech the samefyear he uttered the following stronger and more, direct protest against im- perial expansion: I say to you, as I have said before and shall continue to say till the time of my death, that it is not in the nature of any colonial system of government to raise a country and raise a nation to the highest pitch of prosperity. It is inde- pendence; self-government; the liberty of the people to make laws for themselves, that has elevated us from the subdued feeling of colonial subjection, and placed us where we are.’ Francis Lieber, one of the most profound writers on govern- ment of this century, says: We cannot prepare a people for Mberty by centralized des- potism, no more than we can prepare for light by destroy- ing the means of vision. Nowhere can liberty develop itself out of despotism. It can only chronologically follow the rule of absolutism; and if it does so, it must begin with eliminat- ing fits antagonistic government. Every return to concen- trated despotism, therefore, creates an additional necessity of revolution, and throws an increased difficvlty in the way of obtaining freedom, Jefferson not only emphasized the maxim “never to entangle ourselves in the affairs of Europe,” but in his inaugural ad- dress he said: Sometimes ft is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he then be grusted with the gov- ernment of others? Of colonial government by republics Montesquieu said in his “Spirit of Laws’’: Their government is ever odious to the conquered States. It is apparently monarchical, but in reality it is much more oppressive than monarchy, as the experience of all ages and countries evinces. The conqueréd people are in a melancholy situation; they neither enjoy the advantages of a republic nor those of a monarchy.”’ When order has been restored in the Philippines and the people have corae to a calm consideration of the question it cannot be doubted that they will choose the righteous and safe path dictated by the highest wisdom. re Free Rides All Dav and Night.—The homeless people, if there are any, in Sidney, New South Wales, need not to go to a police station for shelter on cold nights. They can get on the street cars and ride as long as they please, free. This means that Sidney owns its own street car system and charges no fares. It is said that citizens do not stay up nights in order to get more than their share of riding, and the strap passenger is unknown there. = = _— -_.

AN OLD LADY AND A CABLE CAR. A little old lady ht here in town found herself not long since in front of a moving cable car. She tried to jump out of the way, only to find herself in danger of being run down by a heavy truck. She made no outcry, but, with an agility which might well have added distinction to one of a lesser number of years, she took hold of the car fender, and stepping on it, staid there until the motorman stopped, when she got off again, and, finding the coast clear. went her way without a word. She thought so little of her feat that she even forgot to mention it to her daughter when ehe reached home. When some one else who had seen it told the story, and she was questioned, the little old lady refused to acknowledge that she had done an extraor- dinary thing, but only one which she sup- sed every sensible pedestrian in these days should prepare herself to do as well. She said that when cable cars and fenders were finst introduced into our streets she had made up her mind that there was but one thing to do when they threatened to run one down, and that was to get on top of them. The example of the little old lady is well worth considering.—Harper’s Bazar. ELEPHANTS AS NURSEMAIDS.

A handicap at a mile and a sixteenth will -be the racing plece of the New Orleans programme I*riday afternoon. Kight horses have accepted the weight assigned with J. EH. C., 109 pounds, instead of place. Clay Pointer and Col, Frank Waters have 107 each and to Sea Robber and Double Dummy 105 aplece, is allotted.

IN WAS A REMARKABLE CONTEST. The Minneapolis Skater Made the Pace for the First Mile and Lopped Six Seconds Off the Rink Record. John S. Johnson's two-mile race at the Ice Palace last night will go down in history as yy of the greatest ever skated. the 13-lap track he went two miles in the remarkable time of 6:16 flat. Hie went the first mile in 3:01, and this makes the feat all the more remarkable. Johnson was not feeling in the best of con- dition when he went on the track, but after the flag was dropped and he was gent on his journey with Harley Davidson, E. C. Gilmore and A. H. Jones, he commenced to get warmed up, and as each lap was made the faster he would go, and before the first half-mile pole was passed he was spinning around the rink at a terrific gait. Harley Davidson, the champion of Can- ada, followed Johnson's pace perfectly, but Jones and G'‘lmore were completely out- classed, and they practically threw up the sponge when the first three-quarters of a mile was covered. Johnson made the pace for the first mile and when the pole was finally reached it was found that six seconds had been taken off the rink record. When this was an- nounced the crowd cheered the flying Swede enthusiastically. On the 14th lap Johnson dropped back and allowed Davidson to make the pace. The Canadian was going great guns, and John- son had to hustle to thang on. The race was on in earnest at this point, and Gil- more and Jones were no longer able to keep up with the cracks. The heart-breaking pace told so badly on Jones and Gilmore that they almost stopped to a standstill for a few seconds. Johnson and Davidson soon gained a full lap on on them, “ay shen the four raced together until the 25th lap, Wihen the gong Sounded for the last lap Johnson passed Gilmore and ones us though they were standing still. Davidson tried to do the same, but Gilmore cut hm off, and he was compelled to go on the outside. This caused the Canadian to lose several yards. Otherwise he would have made Johnson extend himself to win. As it was Johnson won by a few yards, while Davidson finished second, over a lap in front of Gilmore, who beat Jones about 20 feet for the place. Louis L. Singer acted as starter, while QOharles @chroeter officiated as judge. iIManager Manning held the watch. Friday night Johnson, Davidson, Gilmore, Jones Husby and Richardson will meet in a half-mile race at the Ice Palace. John- san 79 recognized as the champion oo skater of the world, having beaten the fam- ous Nielson in the champfonship races at Montreal several weeks ago at a half mile. At that time he traversed the route in 1:17 2-5th. Since then he broke all in and out-door records in a half mile against time at Pittsburg, on a nine-lap track. He covered the distance in 1:16 4-5ths. Harley Davidson is also a crack sprint skater, and he says he will come mighty near beating Johnson in the short race Friday night. Husby, who beat Joe Donaghue at a half mile several yeurs ago, also thinks he has a chance with the crack. The swell St. Louls Hockey Club was de- feated at the Ice Palace Thursday night by the High Schoo] Seven, in'a fast game by the score of 3 to 1. The Grand av. lads put up a surprisingiy good gume, and Bt. Louis never had a chance at any stage of the contest. Sample, Hoolan and Forshaw did the best playing for the High School, While Capt. Jack Dillon and Mark Ewing excelled for St. Louis. Washington University will meet the All- Canadians on the ice Friday night. The ‘Vuare.ty boys have improved wonderfully since they first met the Canucks, and they say they will turn the tables on the manip- ulators of the steel runners from across the borders on this Friday night. THE HORSES AT LITTLE ROCK. They Are a Fine Lot and the Meeting There Promises to Be a Winner. Srecia! lost-Dispatch LITTLE ROCK, (tArk., Feb. —The bright, warm sunshine of the last few days has worked a wonderful change in the con- dition of affairs at Clinton Park, and a great deal of activity is to be seen there how. The track jis rapidly drying out from the recent thaw, and in a day or two it will be in splendid condition for training purposes. As it is now, the backstretch is good, and there have been but few days all wintel! lo it was impossible to do any kind of work. Several strings of horses have come in recently, and the stalls are fast being filled. The indications are at present that there will be a much larger number of horses here this spring than ever before. The de- mand for stabling quarters is so great that the club has found it necessary to erect additional stalls, and the work of construct- ing them will proceed without delay, in or- der that accommodations may ,be provided for all horses that may want to race here. Amorg the strings that arrived in tie last few days are those of Willlam Mce- Guigan, who came in from his farm in Gar- land County, horses from Memphis. A majority of the horses here are now 2-year-olds. It is too early to express an opinion on the younger division, but there | are three or four highly-bred 2-year-olds | here that look well and may attract atten- | tion later on, Probably the most is an unnamed bay fiily dam Agnes, in Barney Schreiber’s atab!e. She is a likely-looking filly, and tho boys around the stable speak well of her. Another good-looking youngster is Hound. | lee, the son of Boundless, the World's Fair American derby winner, dam Parolee. All of Mr. Schreiber’s horses are doing well, considering the weather conditions of the last 30 days. Branch Martin of Little.Rock has a Fen- elon colt that seems to be well thought of around the track. He has been named Mar- tin Boy, and may familiarize with his name before the season its over. Martin has three other colts, all by Major Domo, and has named them in honor of prominent Jocal people. Gus Blass and Joe P. Quinn are local merchant princes, and Judge Millis is Coun- ty Judge and an ex-turfman and breeder of | some note. H. Brant 1s in charge of Mr. ‘ag, etable.

LOUIS HIGH SCHOOL, Its Scholars Want a Track for Ath- letics in Forest Park. The scholars of the St. Louls High School ‘will shortly petition the School Board to allow them to have a tract of jland fn For- SS tition is granted, 1e e 9 i " bo balla a playgrowni = or the different anches of school athietics. “frahours and instructors will be engaged to look after the interests of the boys. ; For a number of years the scholars have lacked training quarters and a fieki in which to play the _innume rable college games. They also lacked quarters in which to practice the never- -missing college yell, ‘and this part has a great deal to do en the petition. They argue “that a co lege without a yell is no college at all,”” hence this clause in their petition. The petition is ange with favor every- where, Nearly every sc iolar, whether boy or girl, is ‘willing to lend thelr signatures, needed. They are anxious to have a grand stand ere ‘ted, where they can cheer the High School boys on to vic tory in whatever contest they may be en- aged Prof William J. Bryan, the Principal of the High Schools, as well ag the numerous ee conn are said to be in favor of the pro- position. They are pushing the s heme be- side several of the school directors The petition as it stands Is extremely feasible. It embraces every manner of ath- leties and takes in every college game from baseball, golf, hockey and tennis, to the great college game in the fall of Rugby footbali. If the request ts granted, which scems likely, it means the entrance of the High School as a competitor in all manner of college athletics. It will also mean that the High School yell of ‘‘(hee-he, ‘ Shee-hi Ha! Ha! Ha! St. Louis High School! Rah! tah! Rah!’ will be heard a great deal more in the future than it hag been in previous years. A Poet and Playwright Dead. SAN FRANCISOO.

The open door, free trade policy ts again in full foree and effect at Belleville. The embargo has boen lifted from Cupid's bust. St. Louls couples who are old enough and otherwise qualified may ob- tain licenses to marry at the office of County Clerk Geo. K. Thomas again. County Clerk Thomas has come dows from his dizzy height, for which muck thanks will be accorded the Post-Dispatch by all marriageable young people and all Belleville bus'ness men. In the revocation of the Chinese wall order there was none of the acclaim with which it was made. The announcement that the order had been rescinded was ise- sued late Thursday aefternoon by Deput Ernst Hilgard. He gave it out In a still, small voice that all couples from St. Louis or elsewhere who cou show that were competent to contract marriage Wou receive licenses on application. ee intimated that no prohibitive order ever been In effect. The order was given by County Clerk | Sia in unmistakable terms last Tues- ay when the Post-Dispatch told of the ale - teration of the record and the a tance of money by Deputy H'lgard, Clerk was filled with wrath. He declared with copious oaths that no licenses would, hence. forth be issued to any but St. Clair County people. His deputies heard him and prom. ised to obey his mandate. Several] other people, including three or four reporters, heard him. He gave as his reason timt eloping couples from a distance making misrepresentations in order to secure licenses were not amenable to the St. Clair County courts. The order was In effect three whole days, They were interesting days for Mr. Thomaa. from business men. When the Post-Dispatch, voicing th generil criticism of his action, reache the Courthouse Thursday afternoon, Mr, Thomas’ flerceness’ suddenly abated and the announcement from Deputy Hilgard fol- lowed after Mr. Thomas had gone home. If the order had not been rescinded the matter would have been taken up at the next meeting of the Commercial Club. A business man said Thursday that he would certainiy {ntroduce a resolution calling on Mr. Thomas to recede from his position. Deputy Hilgard ts stil strentte he labored ufter the o ink marks from an official record.

ANNIE CURZAN WANTED HER SIXTEENTH BILL OF THE KIND MAIL DELIVERED TO HERSELF. SHE WAS THEN DISCHARGED. Now She Demands a Month’s Wages— Postmaster Baumhoff Upholds Her Right to Mail at First Hands. Miss Annie Curzan wants to know ff a servant has a right to receive her ma‘l in | her own hands. She gave a postman notice | sescion of the City Counéil. it | her mistress. | to deliver her letters in her own hands. resulted in her dismissal by She has taken her case before Postmaster Baumhoff and Acting Prosecuting Attor- ney Fensky, and she says if she does not get her month's wages through the war- rant office she w'!i bring suit. A week ago Miss Curzan went to work for Mise E. R. Calliday of 36 W. Belle pl, who keeps bouse fur her brotaers. It was the duty of the second girl to 4n- gwer the beli and incidenialy to receive the mail. Friday package from an admirer at Jefferson Bar- racks. The expected contents were of such a precious nature that she did not want them profaned by other hanes. So when the second giri went to the door when tac postmun called the first, time, Miss Curgzan went, too She told the postman sne wanted him just that day to deliver into her own hands anything addressed to her. He said he would do so if she was at the door. Sne said she would be at the door. The second girl considered this a reflec. tien on her. Sne went and told Miss Cal- liday. Miss Calilday summoned Miss Cur- gan before her and told her she had been guilty of an impertinence. Mies Curzan replied wito epirit that mail addressed to her was hers and had a right to insist that it be delivered to her. Tney argued the question of right thus raised and it'ended by Miss Calliday discharging the servant on the spot. Miss Curzon demanded her month's wages of $15. Miss Calladay declared ehe would only pay her for the time she had worked. Without waiting for the letter and pack- age Miss Curzan went to the postoffice. Postmaster Baumboff told her she certainly had a right to give instructions for her mail to be delivered to her. Then she went to the Four Courts and toid Mr. Fensky about it. He said it was not a case calling fer the issuance of a warrant, but he would write a letter to Miss Calliday and he thought it would be all hb the t iss Curzan left the building vowing ghe would bring su‘t if her wages were not paid. She went back to West Belle pl. to “‘lay’ for the postman and get that package and letter. Miss Curzan’s home is at Willow Springs, Mo. She stops when she is ont of employ- ment at 1329 Franklin av. She says she paid 30 cents for moving her trunk to her new place and her discharge for making the request of the postman was not war- ranted, and she will have her month's Wages or know why.

Brady Gov. Stephens missed the mark at which he was. shooting. As a “watcher” on him, Mr. Wurzburger says Brady is a dead failure and suggests that Chairman Cook and the Governor get together on a ‘“‘watcher’’ who will watch, Julius wore a broad smile around the City Hall Friday. His pockets were Wied with Cigars and his friends stood about him fn the corridors enjoying his hospitalt the joke on Election Commissioner Among the cap | Halil politicians cation In:the Post-Dispatch o Stephens letters regarding the to the Board of Election Com Brady and Wurzberger was the best joke of the season, and according to them was on Brady. “That's a fine compliment me, it?’ gaid Julius, ——, : to some one to watch me—oh, I'm all but that’s a »ouquet—a fine bouguet.” “Are 7 being watched?’ “I te no you, their system is wrong.

Wurzburger’s smile broadened with pleas- ‘stick’ enough,” was ure. “Well, the other fellow is not do'ng a watching, either.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—FEBRUARY 24, 1299 The Youngest Known Count- erfeiter Arrested. ee ee ee WILLIE FERGUSON’S CUNNING. HE WANTED TO SEE ALL THE SLOT MACHINE PICTURES. —_— Having No Money, He Manufactured Clumsy Five-Cent Pieces, and Then Thoroughly Enjoyed Himself. Master William Ferguson is not too young to have fads. He is only 15 years old and until Friday morning, with his Little Willie’s fads are—or rather were, for he will doubtless give them up now— chemistry and mutascope pictures, The fads have been his undoing. They have made him a prisoner of the Government, charged with the serious offense terfeiting. | Willie’s father formerly ran a hotel at Ninth and Chestnut sts. He decided that Willie was delicate, and injuring his health by overstudy at school, Ili nearly broke Willie’s heart when they withdrew him from his books. He was forbidden, he says tearfully, to look at a page. There was nothing left for him to do but amuse him- gelt and recover his health. So it was that he took to patronizing the moving picture slot machines, There were hundreds of these machines in St. Louis. The views they present are changed weekly, and the man who at- tempts to jook at them all would have to spend much money as well as much time. Willie’s father was net lavish in the amount of pocket-money he gave the young in- valid. To keep up with the mutascope procession was more than Willle’s aow- ance would permit. The boy was just on the point of returning to his*beloved books, despite the parental wishes, when an idea struck him. He remembered that one day, while por- ing over his text book on chemistry, he had read how anhydrous calcium sulphate, or calcined._gypsum, and plumbum, one of the eiements having specific gravity of 11.87 and atomic weight of 46.04, were some- times made use of by counterfeiters in carrying on their nefarious business. Willie purchased some calcined gypsum at a drug store. This ingredient does not sound so terrible outside of the chemistry books. Any drug clerk would sell it to @ baby if the baby were able to pronounce the words plaster of Paris. The plumbum Was stil] easier to get. Plumbum is lead— just plain, common, everyday lead. Out of the plaster of Paris Willie constructed a mold as near like a b-cent piece as he Was able’to make it. He improvised a crucible and melted the plumbum init. His workshop was in the basement of his com- fortable two-sfory brick heme. He was free from all disturbances and turned out nickels faster than an incubator hatched eggs. “They were not very good looking nickles. A blind beggar wouid have refused them, but slot machines, for which they were especially manufactured, can't talk back, and when Willie first tried his experiment On them he found it worked to perfec®ion. A mutascope establishment jpn the Chemi- cal Building at Ninth and Olive sts. was the usual grounds for Willie's operations. he men who run the machines. after taking in from day to day several pounds of Willies home-made money, began to wonder where it all came from. The ‘‘pho- meys’’ were being gathered with such reg- ularity they concluded one of their ante customers was at echeme., ; When’ Willie went itn for daily peeps naga the mutascope people put up a ob on him. They emptied all the cash oxes, and after Willie had viewed several] machines they opened the boxes again and found what they expected—a lead plug in each. While Willie was looking at more machines the mutascope folks sent across the street to the Federal Building and sum- Secret Service Agent Guerney. i few moments later Willie stood before United States Commissioner Gray. He told his story, adding that he did not think he was doing harm in bilking a slot machine. pe waived a hearing and was held in $500 onds. The boy’s father furnished bail]. A few of the lead nickels which were found in Willie’s pockets were seized by the secret service agents for evidence. Mr. Ferguson purchased a corn cob pipe factory in Bement, 11, recently. and Thure. day morning moved to that place, taking his son with him to work {n the establish. ment. GRIP CAUGHT IN A STRAND. Passengers Badly Injured and a Trail- er Car Smashed. The grip lever of a Broadway cable train became entangled in a broken strand of cable at Broadway and La Salle street ursday night, stopping the train with a violent jerk. The trailer was thrown against the grip Car with such force as to crush its forward platform. Passengers standing in the trail- er were hvried violently to the floor and those in the seats were badly jolted. Every Window in the car was broken. . Two passengers received slight injuries, Miss Minnie Scharfenberger of 101 St. Louis ev... Hast St. Louis, was cut in the face, and 8S. R. Altrogge of %20 Madison st. was bruised about the head. ' ES SEE a SCHOOL BOARD EXTRAVAGANCE. Director Studniczka Has Some Com- parative Statistics to Give.

Eggs have taken wings and flown sky- ward again. They become scarce and more expensive with each succeeding day. The plural will be dropped ent‘rely pretty soon as a luxurious superfiuity, and youngsters will be semt to the corner store for 10 cents worth of egg. It has been suggested the City Chemist announce au safe means to solidify the egg in order that it may be sold in sections. The drawback to the proposit:on is that unscrupulous dealers may profit by experi- ments of the beef cannere and embalm the ees. ee The ruling retail price Thursday was 4 cents a dozen. Some dealers, with many on hand, sold them for % cents. As in the ’ See case of the recent weather, the oldest in- habitant is endeavoring to knock the ro- mance out of the egg situation by remem- ber'ng when the price was higher than at present. He says eggs retailed at 5 cents a piece in the Jate ‘70's. At that time good customers were given six for a quarter, If the egg would mind its own business and not lead other eatables astray it would not be so bad, but it seems the egg is being foliowed into almost prohibitive prices by all kinds of grub. The ege’s parent the chicken, is worth more dead than a live song bird. This re- vives the old minstrel question as to which is responsible. The egg came from the chicken and the chicken came from an egg; which started the thing? Beef. too, is getting decidedly uppish. Porterhouse steaks are worth 15 cents a pound now and other cuts in proportion. It is a well-fed dog, indeed, that gets a bone these days. Pork is hoggish in price. Tenderloins sell for 20 cents a pound, and the butcher would keep them willingly, for he expects a further advance. The great mortality among all kinds of live stock, owing to the coki weather. is the @xplanation, Dealers say the advance in the price of food stuffs is injuring their business. They blame the cold weather. He Asserts Eggs Will Be Selling at a Nickel Each Before Easter. PITTSBURG, Pa., Feb. 2&.—There ig a famine in eggs here and prices have ad- vanced from 21 cents to 4 cents a dozen. Last week H, D.

IRON HINGES THAWED OUT. THEY EXPANDED, CLOSING THE SLOT IN PLACES. Cars Started Out and Became Stalled in Many Places Until the Entire System Was Paralyzed. Traffic on the Broadway cable system, the longest straightaway line in the world, was completely suspended Friday morning and part of the afternoon. Cars were strung along the street from Baden to Carondelet. The tie-up resulted in serious inconveni- ence to thousands of persons, some of whom were compelled to walk miles to g0 to work, go across country to other lines or hire carriages. The cold weather of yesterday was in a way responsible for the railroad company’s misfortune, ang the keen, disappointment of the patrons; who live in all sections of St. Louis, as the system connects the north- ern and southern limits. Situated along the tracks, about 30 feet apart ,are iron traps or man-holes. They afford the workmen access to the cable rope when repairs have to be made. The hinges to the trap doors were frozen Thursday and fires were built to thaw them out. The iron expanded and, pressing Aga-nst the cable slot, contracted the metal. The aperture left was too small to permit the passage of the grip beam in many places. The cars were started out as usual at 5 o'clock in the morning. They went along all right until they neared the center of the city, where the fires had been built, and then the trouble began. Grip rods stuck in the slots, cars came to a sudden standsfill and passengers were thrown violently about. The slots were pried open for a time and the cars proceeded a short distance, only to come to a stop again. General Manager Robert McCullough was on the scene early, A large force of men was put to work and other fires were built to counteract the effect of those yesterday and expand the slots. Not a car was run- ning at noon and the service was inter- mittent all the afternoon. An official stated that the trouble could not be remedied for several hours. Some of the cars got as far north as Cass av., and at Washington av. the street was blockaded. The cars going south began to run across Olive st. abotit noon, but it was said then that none would move along the north track before 3 o’clock, and no attempt at schedule time will be made to-night. PARCELS DELIVERY COMPANY. An Organization to Relieve Downtown Department Stores. A company has been organized to deliver parcels for the down-town stores of St, Louis. It will soon be incorporated with a capital stock of $50,000 The new cancern believes it can deliver goods for the merchants to their patrons cheaper than they are now doing that work with their own delivery systems, and yet make money. It claims several of the arge department stores and dry ego0ods houses have promised thein patronage to it. The plan of the company is to have a cen- tral depot in the heart of the business dis- trict to which ail parcels will be taken from the stores, by wagons operated especi- ally for the purpose and calling at each Store at frequent intervals. At the depot, the parcels will be assorted according to their destination. This will facilitate deliv- ery, as one wagon can deliver all the par- cels in its particular district. In this way the tremendous delivery work of the down- town stores will be performed with fewer men, horses and wagons, and, consequent- ly, less expense than at present. The company will operate on a cash basis and will not keep any books. It will have a stamp system, and the charges for the de- livery of parcels will be uniform, Its pa- trons will buy as many stamps as they wish and will place one stamp upon eVery perors of @oods it may have for delivery. his will remove any necessity for keeping records of parcels délivered.

TOR oe ke get ee € AT THE PLAYHOUSES. a wr Anna Held is interesting because she sets one to thinking—to speculating as to what charm she has that attracts people to the theater where she appears for about 16 minute at each performance. She is pretty, but women far prettier have been seen in the beauty shows that have come out of New York labeled ‘‘Reviews.”” Finer eyes than hers were never seen, but when one gets close enough to appreciate her eyes the heavy “make up” she uses is so ap- parent that their effect is spoiled. The texture of her skin is marvelously smooth and her neck and shoulders are beyond re- proach, but her ankles are flat. She is not even a fairly good singer. Now, ae they Say on the rialto, ‘“‘where does she come in?” Probably it is her alleged naughti- ness of demeanor on the stage. The char- acter of the audiences at the Century this week lends plausibility to this theory. There has been a much )arger patronage by women than usually falls to the lot of shows like ‘““‘The French Maid.” At the ) Wednesday matinee maids and matrons } stood four and five deep back of the railing, and the fair sex has been well represented at night. The majority of the men in the audiemce are not habitual patrons of that Style of entertainment; there have been no gatherings of the “regulars’’ in the foyer. Miss Held does not seem to appeal to men who are accustomed to loédk upon scantily draped charms. They know that women as fair, if not fairer than M.ss Held, have exposed themselves more daringly at Mr. Butler’s theater than she does at the Century, therefore they have little desire to look at her. It is different with reput- able women and proper men who only pat- ronize those playhouses whose oliey is to present nothing but the good, the true and the beautiful. To such people Miss Held is shockingly charming, and charmingly a To the blase she is rather tire- some with her shrugs anJj her Wiggles and her winks and smiles and ogles, and her kicks, which indxate that she is as badly muscle bound as Edna Wallace Hopper and her nasty French songs. All this seems a good deal to say of a oung person without whom “The French Maid’ would be quite as entertaining as it is with her, provided it had the or gina} cast, but it leads up easily and naturally noon and evening Miss Held will appear as Suzette, the French maid. It will be her ro attempt to play an English speaking part. Mr. W. .
