FIGHTS FOR HIS LIFE Doctors Admit That His Con- dition Is Serious. FEVER HAS WEAKENED HIM. BUT WITH JAW SET THE AUTHOR KEEPS HIS NERVE. His Vitality and His Courage Are Alone Relied on to Save Him in His Combat With Death. Special to the Post-Dispatch. INDW YORK, Feb. 26, 2 a. m.—An official bulletin just issued describes Mr. Kipling as a shade improved and resting quietly. At about 12:30 o'clock Dr. Janeway left for the night and Dr. Dunham had retired, Mr. (Doubleday and Dr. Janeway’s son still watch by the sick bed. The following bulletin was issued at 8 o'clock last night by Kipling’s physicians: “Mr. Kipling has been in a serious con- dition through the afternoon and evening— one whiah occasions anxiety, but is not without hope. "Ee. G. JANDWAY, “THDBDODORD DUNHAM.” Already there have been alarming symp- toms which indicate that the heart ac- tion is imperiled. The physicians have said that the continued fever has weakened the patient materially. All known facts indi- cate that the situation has resolved itself into a life and death struggle, in which the chances in favor of life are little better than desperate. Still, an unconfirmed rumor quotes Dr. Dunham as saying that Mr. Kipling will live. The one great hope on which everybody seems most to rely is based on the reports which came from the sick room of Mr. Kip- ling’s own undaunted courage and cheerful- ness. He has repeated intervals of delirium and semi-consciouwsness, but during the times his mind is clear there is not the slightest indication that he has given way fn the least to despondency. The dogged determination which his square jaw indi- cates, and which all his friends know to be so marked a quality in his make-up, seems fully aroused. It seems to those who have seen him that ‘he has resolutely determined to fight every inch of the ground as long as there is a spark of vitality or strength left in him. One of thé chief things that interest him fs the late storm and the fate of the ships . at sea. The storm was on when he became fll, and naturally was the thing most im- pressed on his mind. All to-day the stream of callers, tele- grams and letters of inquiry continued, as they have since Mr. Kipling's illness be- gan. Mrs. Kipling long ago ceased giving any attention to these. She has been al- most constantly at the sick bed. Dr. Jane- Way Was present the greater part ef the day and Dr. Dunham never leaves the ho- tel. Two new nurses were engaged to-day in addition to the two who have been In constant attendance since Monday. Death of Kipling Would Be Looked on as a National Loss. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright. 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Feb. %—Deep concern is evinced throughout England in the serious fliness of Rudyard Kipling. His loss would be regarded as a national one, as he is recognized as a genius in his own line. and fargely responsible for the growth of the imperialistic spirit in England in the last few years. His robust constitution is relied on as the best security in his illness. © WG UP HUMAN SKELETONS Zilinois Farmer Believed to Have Ac- cidentally Located an Historic In- dian Burying Ground. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. RED BUD, Lil, Feb. 25.~While digging on 8 farm yesterday George E. Wirison no- ticed bones sticking through the side sof the trench. He discovered a number of human skeletons. It is supposed that he found an Indian burying ground. Several stone hatchets, spear heads and arrow heads were found, besides a number of rudely fashioned tron rings and bracelets. All of the skeletons were of males and some Of the skulls were crushed in, while others had very large holes in them, as if they had been penetrated by a bullet of large The supposition !s that the skeletons are those of the Hurons killed in the raid made By them on the French settlements tn Illi- 8° nols in 1726. Fort Chartres is about 12 miles from here, @nd as the French repulsed the savages that point with heavy loss, it is thought that the Hurons buried their dead on Mr. Wilson's farm.

The Testimony Given Saturday Created a Stir Among the Defendant’s Lawyers, Who Held C&nsulta- tions With Their Client. Special te the Post-Dispatch, KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 2.—The mos: positive identification of Jesse James as one of the Leeds train robbers was made in the court room this afternoon by William J. Smith of Stokesberry, Mo., who was a passenger on the Missour! Pac'fic train when it was held up Sept. 2% at Leeds. Smith testified that he was riding in the smoking car and got out when the train was held up and walked up among the rob- bers. One of the robbers put a gun against his breast and ordered him back into the car. “Id that man have anything over his face?’’ asked Prosecutor Reed. “He had nothing over his face. He had something black around his neck, as if it were a mask slipped down.” “Did you get a good look at that man?” “Yes, sir, I got a good look at him.” “Do you see that man in the court room?” Mr. Smith pointed at Jesse James, sitting facing him, and said: ‘Yes, sir, there he sits right over there.” ‘‘You mean the defendant, Jesse James?” ‘Yes, sir, it was Jess James.’’ The testimony of Smith made a great stir among the lawyers and friends of the de- fendant. They whispered together an‘ were plainly excited. T. T. Crittenden, the County Clerk, who has attended every ses- sion of the court, was sitting beh'nd Jesse James, leaned over the back of Jesse’s chair and they held excited whispered consulta- tions, During the recital of Lowe’s story yes- terday, Frank James, the uncle of young Jesse, sat directly facing him in the front row of chairs. Frank was deeply interested in the story and tleaned forward and watched Lowe's face sharply as he talked. During the whole of the time Lowe was on the witness stand he did not bécome excited nor lose his temper. He told his story in a straightforward way, but on cross-examination seemed. to hesitate a great deal before answering questions. Edwin E. Hills, the express messenger who was held up. followed Lowe on the stand. He told what had not been made public before—exactly how much money the frobbers got. He swore that it was only $30. He said that the car contained one sack of silver with $1000 in it, a package of $590 in currency, two C. O. D. packages containing $18, and two packages of Gov- ernment war bonds, amounting to $560, and that all of this but ® silver dollars was recovered. Prosecutor Reed showed the glazed mask found in the weeds near the scene of the robbery and identified by Lowe yesterday as very much like the one that he asserted was worn by Jesse James. Hills said that, it was like the one worn by the leader. At the request of Prosecutor Reed, Jesse James stood up and looked, without a trace of nervousness, straight at the witness, “How did the leader’s height compare with the height of the defendant?” asked Prosecutor Reed. “I should say he was about the same height.”’ “How does he compare as to breadth of shoulders?” “About the same. He bore a general re- semblance to the man who just stood up.” “You say you noticed the leader’s eyes. How do the defendant's eyes compare with them?’’ ‘The robber’s eyes were large and pierc- ing eyes, as this man has.” “Is the defendant the man who was there on that night and wore the coat and mask?’’ “IT am unable to state.” Slocum, the engineer of the train, was the next witness. He identified Lowe as one of the robbers, but could say nothing as to James. FE. M. Hisey, the telegraph operator at Leeds, partly identified Jesse James as the man who broke his instruments in order to prevent him from wiring the news of the robbery to Kansas City. “Have you since seen the man who held you up that night?’ asked Prosecutor Reed. “T have seen a man I think is he.” “Who is he?’ His eyes rested on Jesse James, and he said positively: “That fellow sitting right there.” “Who? Jesse James?” “Yes: Jesse James. I think he is un- doubtedly the fellow; there is no mistake about it.” This was the strongest evidence against Jesse James produced at the trial so far. Jesse James did not flinch under it or show signs of nervousness. H. N. Carr, conductor of the train that was held up, told his experience. He did not know any of the robbers and would be unable @o identify any one of them. SUNDAY WEATHER FORECAST. Rain, Probably Snow and West Winds for Missouri.

CAR FUSES BURNED OUT. ATMOSPHERE SURCHARGED AND CAUSED TROUBLE. Nearly Every Railway Line in the City Seriously Impeded and Many Cars Run Into the Sheds. Following a day of unusual meteorolog- ical conditions last night furnished atmos- pheric that to the street railroad companies and caused phenomena fright to possess many persons who rode on cars after sundown. The air was surcharged with electricity, and the fluid, attracted by overhead w.res, Save these conductors more than they could carry. The result was that fuses were burned out, and machinery was rendered useless. Cars were stalled all over the city and had to be pushed to the sheds by others. coaches became exhausted were brought into service. Traffic was impeded throughout yester- day, and last night on every electric street car system in-St. Louis. Not a, line but was seriously crippled. The trouble started before ngon, and from that hour it was next to imposs-ble to get i Street car without a half-hour’s wait to any part of the city. It is estimated that thé aggregate num- ber of cars run on far in excess of 1000. Not over one-third of them could be operated. The inconvenience was felt by fully 100,0% persons, who were obliged to wait over an hour for a ear. When it finally came it was invariably taxed to the utmost. People hung onto the railing and hundreds were forced to with- stand the havoc of rain and wind on the platform steps, where there were frequent shocks to passengers. An ‘official of the Missouri Railroad Co, said: ‘‘The ‘Laclede av. division of our sys- tem was virtuall paralyzed. At 1 o'clock this afternoon Wwe were obliged to with- draw 3 cars out of only 45 in operation on that line. We managed to run, however, at a uniform interval of 25 minutes between each car. and “‘owls’’ "The cold and rain affected the wires and | burned out the armatures. We kept a large force of men at work all day, but they had more than they could attend to. “Several times our cars were blocked at different places, and to remedy the trouble it was absolutely necessary to turn three- fourths of them into the sheds. The other lines fared worse than we did. “Up to 6 o'clock last evening the Subur- ban cars ‘were run one-half hour apart. After 8 o’clock they suffered considerably again. “The Compton Heights and Park av. division of the Lindell system were in the same fix. The main line was in better shape. The Southern Blectric—and I un- derstand all the branches of the Scullin system—were among the _ sufferers. It was the worst blockade we have expe- rienced for a long time.”’ Assistant Foreman Alexander of the Grand av. division of the Scullin system said at midnight: ‘*‘Two of our cars are etalled some where on the line at this hour. We have had trouble all day and the overflow of elec- tricity has caused considerable expense.”’ HYPNOTISM IN PLACE OF DRUGS Philadelphia Doctors Have Used the Power Instead of Anaesthetics in Many Cases. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. &.—The use of hypnotism in: connection with therapeutics by the physicians of this city, as told in the- Post-D‘spatch, has greatly interested medical men. Dr. J. Madison Taylor read a paper embodying his views and experi- ments cn the subject before the Philadel- phia Medical Soclety and a distingu'shed audience. Dr, Taylor treated the subject conservatively, as one realizing that he had to encounter scepticism. Dr. Taylor stated that tn almost every case he tried he has succeeded in curing or benefitinc by Aypnotism. We mentioned particularly a man who had had sunstroke and whom Dr. _ 58. Weir Mitchell had failed to cure in W years and on whom every physic‘an of as- pirations had experimented in the years gone by without doing the man any good. By using hypnotism, Dr. Taylor claimed that he had effected a cure in six weeks. The man referred to was the Lbrarian of the Jeffereon Medteal College. Dr. Orville Horwitz, a professor of Jef- ferson Medical College, recited a case where: he had removed a turberculous tumor from @ man’s groin without the use of an- esthetics by having him hypnotized. Other ‘Mustrations were cited, those who spoke on the subject being Dr. Charlies K. Mills, Dr. Felix X. Dex- cum, Dr. C. W. Burr, Prof. New- bola of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. J. Hobart Hare, Dr. Eschner, Dr. J. Da- land, Dr. McKune, Prof. Lightner Witmer and others. While the majority of those present fa- vored the use of hypnotism as worthy of | the fullest :nvestigation, it was evident thar [there were | “a ia? ae ee . ae ee SE = 2 Z . ‘3 hal i i ore f 4 a Be atte ) ir. > , . - if ee on —.. % wa Ty te : 4 ae + a") HE IS A MODERN WANDERING JEW, Ill Fortune Kept Pace With Frederick Beglar.

Beglar’s experience during the year and a half was a strange one, and he became (a veritable human shuttleccck. On hic re- turn he arrived in New York expecting to find money at that place to carry him to South Dakota. But the money had not arrived, and after wandering around sev- eral days ¢n search of work he was ac- costed by a man, who told him that if he was unable to obtain employment in New could go with him to London, where it would be an easy matter to find ‘all the work he wanted to do. the various systems is | The proposition was accepted and Beglar was put aboard a stock ship, where he worked all the way to Liverpool without At Liver- pound sterling and 16 shillings per month made another trip to America and return to Europe. Then he spent 15 weeks in London without either money or friends, the end of that time he secured em- ployment wth the captain of a Norwe- craft and s&fled for some port in Canada. In the meantime, fits-protber-in-lawy John Suclzler, who lives near Bridgewatéf, S. D., was expecting him, having sent money ‘to New York to pay his ra'lroad fare from that place to his home. After waiting some time and not hearing anything of the young man, he telegraphed to New York to find out if he had arrived there. Re- ceiving no reply he wrote to various em*- gration agencies and learned that Beglar had arrived in New York. The case was placed in the hands of D. C. Stewart, Chief of Police at Larchmortt, N. Y. After three months’ search that offi- cer located the young man at the port In Canada to which he had been carried by the Norwegian bark. The captain, however, would not consent to release Beglar unless he was paid $40. The money was forwarded, but before it arrived at the Canadian port the vessel had sailed for Plymouth, Pngland. _ Then a ticket was purchased to carry the young wanderer from London to New York and sent in care of the Scotland Yard officials. Beglar received the ticket all Tight, but his London landlord secured pos- session of it and announced that he would retain it until the received his pay for boarding the young man. Beglar then secured work as a fireman on a steamer that was about to leave for New York. After arr'ving there he deserted and went to Larchmont, where D. C. Stewart, the police officer, put him on a train and startel him for his home in McCook County, this State. He arrived a few days ago without further mishap or delay.

WBDPBSTER CITY, Io., Feb. 23.—Maud Hawk, a pretty brunette of 18, hag made a record during the past two days that is without a parallel. She received a divorce yesetrday at this term of the court from her first husband, Clark Smith, on a plea of desertion. Before nignt she had wired to her first love, John Crawford, telling him of her divorce. He met her at the train, going with her insane sister, Mrs. Chanes Wright, and Sheriff Sinclair to the insane asylum at Independence. She de- serted her insane aeister and the Sheriff at Hampton and at that place Crawford ee- cured a marriage license and they were married, returning here on the next train.

COLUMBO, Island of Ceylon, Feb. 26.— 6:30 a. m.—The United States transport Grant, which sailed from New York for Manila on Jan. 19 with troops under com- mand of Major-General Henry W. Lawton on board, arrived here to-day. Gen. Law- ton received a cablegram from Maj. Otis saying, “Situation critical, Your early ar- rival necessary.” He also received from Gen. Corbin, United States Adjutant General, a cable dispatch urging him to hurry. Gen. Lawton ordered his officers to buy. cupplies regardless of expense, and the transport is taking on coa] and .water hurriedly. He will try to reach Manila without further stop. Ceylon is an island in the Indian Ocean about 4000 miles from Manila. When he last reported to Washington, Gen. Lawton ex- pected to reach Maniia about March 4. He has 1800 troops on his ship. Toe Sherman, with 2 men, should reach Manila early In March. These, with the troops which arrived at Manila on the Scandia a few days ago, will add about 3000 fighting men to Gen. Otis’ force, EXPLAINS DEWEY’S CABLE. Tho Presence of the Kaiserin Augusta in Manila Bay. Special «o the l’ost-Vispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. %.—Admiral Dew- ey’s dispatch asking for the battlesh'p Ore- gon was partially explained to-day when the announcement was made that the first- class German cruiser Kaiserin Augusta had arrived at Manila. Officers of the navy assert that Admiral Dewey must have known of the coming of the German warsh'p and, remembering the vindictive spirit of Admiral von Deidericks during the early days of the war with Spain, asked that the Oregon be sent im- mediately in order that he also migfit make a show of force. The Kaiserin Augusta is much the su- perior of any of the vessels now with the Asiatic Squadron. Of course, in the event of host‘lities with the Germans, the moni- tors Monterey and Monadnock would be most effective fighting stips in the quiet waters of Manila Bay. Secretary Long to-day received two dis- patches from Admiral Dewey, but in neli- ther did he make any explanation of his message of yesterday. In one he mentioned that the Charleston and Petrel were cruis- ing about the islands, and stated that the Petrel had gone to Cebu to occupy the city. He neglected to state when the Pe- trel left Manila, and within two hours af- ter the receipt of his dispatch Gen, Ot's cabled the War Department that he would send troops to Cebu, which had been quiet- ly occupied by the navy. Officers of the navy are commenting upon the ambiguity of Admiral Dewey's recent dispatches. It ‘s believed he is not writ- ing them himeelf. All his messages during the war were cited as models to subordin- ate ofticers because of their clearness. Gen. Otis’ dispatch announcing that the situation was improving was most gratify- ing to administration officals. The troops statoned in the Philippnes have been com- pelled to be on duty contnuously since the fighting of the 4th inst., and they will de- rive much benefit from the rest. Troops will be massed on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to be in readiness to sall for the Philippines should it become necessary to give Gen. Otis add‘tional reinforcements. Officers of the Navy Department say that Admiral Dewey, 4mmediately upon the ar- rival of the Oregon, will dispatch many of his smaller vessels to various important c.-t- les in the islartd’ for the purpose of taking in the name of the possession of them United Statcs.

ALBANY, N, Y., Feb. 3.—For Republican nominee in 1900—Theodore Roosevelt of New York, Backers: Thomas C. Platt of New York and Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, The visit é6f Gov. Roosevelt to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge in Washington is not purely a social one. No other public man in the country enjoys the confidence of the Governor as does Senator Lodge. Major-General Leonard Wood, the Mili- tary Governor of Santiago, shares with the Massachusetts Senator the unreserved con- fidence of Gov. Roosevelt. Possibly no other man aside from Senator Lodge could secure the promise of the Governor to re- tract his now famous letter to Gen. Miles declaring that the beef used by the Rough Riders en route to Cuba was put on boarce by the Government. Gen. Wood has se- cured the Governor’s promise to correct his “error’’ in stating that it was. During his recent visit to New York (Jen. Wood told Gov. Roosevelt that the meat, which was undoubtedly unfit to eat, was put on board the transport by an agent of the meat packers and that the War Department had no voice in the mat- ter. The Governor's visit to Senator Lodge has partly to do with the beef matter, but the principal subject that will be discussed during his stay with Senator Lodge is his chances for the Presidency. It is said that Senator Platt’s ambition to land a Presi- dent is so overwhelming that he is will- ing to back Roosevelt. Senator Lodge wants to see his guest nominated by the Republicans next year. Gow. Roosevelt ean y hold all the New England States, tle, possibly, excepting Maine, which .will probably present the name of Speaker Reed. Massachusetts will be for Gov. Roosevelt if Senator Lodge can influence its decision. Gov. Roosevelt, accompanied by Mts. Roosevelt, arrived in Washington early to- day, the news reports say, and went direct to the home of Senator Lodge, where they will remain until Monday. Gov. Roosevelt was the guest of honor at a dinner given to-night by Senator Lodge. Among the guests were Vice- President Hobart, Senator Wolcott and others of prominence. BABIES WITH TWELVE FINGERS One Born of New Jersey Parents and the Other a Child of Il- linois. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW BRUNSWICK, N.

BANQUET AT WASHINGTON. PRESIDENT, SENATORS, REPRE. SENTATIVES PLEDGE SUPPORT. Eloquent Addresses by Gov. Francis Champ Clark ard Other Distin. ~ guished Men in Support of the Exposition, Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—Under brilliant auspices and before as distinguished «a company as ever assembled in the great banquet hall at the Arlington, St.‘ Louls to-night formally presented the project for \ ‘i a 4 an International Exposition to be held in St. Louis in 1908 to appropriately commem- orate the centennial anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase. To a group of 1 persons, composed chiefly of distinguished men in public life, members of the Prest- dent’s Cabinet, and members of Congress, Governors and former Governors of the common wealths—all within the limits of the original Louisiana Purchase—the general plans and scope of the proposed exposition were submitted and by them enthusiastic. ally approved and indorsed. Practically as one man, speaking for the universal millions of people in the purohase, the 101 Senators and members in Congress from the 16 great States and two Terri- torles carved from the territory acquired from France, pledged loyal support and unity of action to aid the successful fruition of the exposition plan. The hearty spot. tanelty of the responses to the general scope of the project to fittingly mark the first century milestone since Thomas Jef- ferson, for the nation, acquired title to the Loulsiana Purchase makes certain positive success if succeeding steps are as thor oughly worked out. By reason of the presentation to-n the exposition project stands before C gress and the nation with these ind ments: 5 1. That of the President of the Unite States, Willlam McKinley, who, alt unable to be present, pledged himself give the exposition plan his hearty | couragement and to do everything that af executive properly could do to make the historical event all that it should be. 2. That of ® Senators and 71 Representa- tives in Congress from the States with the Loulsiana Purchase. 3. That of the city of St. Loults, the greatest municipality west of the Misals- sipp! River. 4 That of 4,000,000 people in the 1% States and two Territories whose growth and progress in one hundred years has been the wonder and marvel of the civilized world. ; 5. That of every statesman whose at~ tention has been called to the project, bee cause the appropriateness of a proper cele.« bration of the end of the first century of the purchase is universally conceded, f Former Gov. David R. Francis and his St. Louls colleagues, aided by men of other States and cities equally interested tn the exposition, equally as earnest in their sup. port and advocacy, presented concretely what is necessary to inaugurate the move- ment and what is expected to be accom- plished as step by step the proposition is bullt up, and they spoke to appreciative listeners. Around the banquet tables tn the great hall at the Arlington were as distinguished an assembly as could be gathered in the Union. Former Gov. David R. Francis, who ts also an ex-Secretary of the Interior, chat. ted with Senator William B. Allison of Iowa, one of the most distinguished men in the United States as well as of the Louisiana purchase. ’ Genator George Graham Vest, the “Lit- tle Gilant,”” whose eloquence for ® years has been nation-wide, hobnobbed with “Tama Jim"’ Whileon, the distinguished Secretary of Agriculture, and himself a purchase citizen. Secretary of the Interior Ethen Allen Hitchcock, whose long trip from St. Peters. burg to Washington to take higher station in the administration is so recent that ocean tan is still on his cheek, discussed the scope of the exposition with Senator Cushman K. Davis of Minnesota, member of the Paris Peace Commission. Genator Francis Marion Cockrel! of Mise sourlt and Representative James Hamiltes Lewla of Washington, the gateway to the Klondike, animately went over the growth of the Purchase, the development of tts sovereign States, the progress of a century. Representative Samuel Robertson of Louisiana and Representative James Tawe ney of Minnesota, the one representing & commonwealth of the South and the other of fhe North, 150) miles apart, yet each ta the Purchase, talked with Senator Henry M. Teller of Colorado, on the edge of the Tiocky Mountains, of a plan to secure jater at St. Loulse some permanent monument which will mark for another 1 years the celebration of the firat century.

THE DISTINGUISHED GUESTS. Cabinet, Senate and House Were Well resented When at 9:30 o’clock Chairman Francis rapped for order and began the introduc- tory #peech there faced him from around the seven large tables a distinguished com- pany. The guests, numbering nearly 20, were members of the Cabinet, the United States Supreme Court, Representatives, Senafors delegates from al! the States and Ter- ritories within the Louisiana Purchase. Among the speakers of the evening Secre- taries Hitchcock and Wilson represented the Cabinet, Justices White and Brewer the Supreme Court, and Senators Vest, Alll- gon, Teller and Thurston the United States Senate.

Those delegates were ap- pointed by their respective Governors and were representative men of the States and Territories whence they came. They were earnest, public spirited, patriotic and cog- nizant of the sentiments of the communi- ties and commonwealths for which they stood. They realized as much as anyon: can what the purchase of the Loulsiana territory by Monroe @ the direction of Jefferson, meant for the United States of one hundred years ago: and what an important, indispensable part that addition to our domain played in the upholding of our institutions and the es- teptishneent of free severe. They fully , as you all will, mea sR held the Louisiana pur- chase and that was as second in its im- rtance and con uence only to the Dec- aration of Independence. They felt that the centennial of such an event should be celebrated in a matter be- fitting the dignity and magnitude of the occurrence, and that this generation would be derelict in its duty to its forefathers and to the founder of the republic and un- true to itself if it failed to show its appre- ciation of the blessings it enjoys as the result of Jefferson's far-sighted work. In their wisdom your delegates decided that nothing short of an international expos!i- tion would comport with the grand achieve- ment they resolved to celebrate. The agreed that the proper location for suc an exposition is the largest, wealthiest and most accessible city in the purchase—St. Louls—and as chairman of the Executive Committee of the convention, I was di- rected to say to the people of that city that if they would raise for such an expo- sition an amount not less than $10,000,000, the people of the purchase would pledge their moral and material ald toward securing loan of $5,000,000 from the Federal Govern- ment. The proposition was made in due time to the people of St. Louis and prompt- ly accepted. Committees have been organ- ized and ‘are now diligently employed in that city formulating plans for procuring the $10,000,000. We are here, therefore, to-night, my friends, representing a convention of States which that convention assigned a high duty, a great responsibility, and on behalf of the convention and the city it honored, we bid you welcome. We have invited you as National Legislators, repfesenting the magnificent empire Jefferson bought, to as- semble here at the national capital for conference concerning the commemoration of the most remarkable and most valiu- able expansion that this or any other country ever had; as your constituents we wish your aid and guidance. We have a common obligation, let us cherish a com- mon interest. If we differ concerning ques- tions of policy, surely we are of one minJ in regard to the incomparable qualities of the land in which we dwell, and foster a sincere and united desire for its develop- ment and progress. We are alike proud of the record made by the States and Terri- tories formed out of the Louisiana Pur- chase, and equally confident of their great future. Including Washington and Oregon, but not Texas, the Louisiana Purchase sends to Congress 71 Representatives, or one-fifth of the House, and 30 Senatcrs, or one-third of the Senate.

The large banquet hall was beautifully Gecorated with flowers and vines. The Suests began to assemble a little before 8 o'clock, and at a quarter before 9 the doors Were thrown open. Ex-Gov. Francis led the way. Maj. D. J. Davis came next, es- corting Secretary Hitchcock and Mr. V. Van Blansom. Secretary Wilson and Dr. Neeley of Kansas escorted Justice Brewer and Mr. Henry Kent Justice White. Then came Senator Vest with State Senator Mar- tin, Senator Allison with Mr. Elliott and Senator Teller with State Representat.ve ree. Other members of- the committee escorted the speakers of the evening. and @fter them came a long line of Senators, Representatives and Government officials, all from the section included within the purchase. The menu occupied the attention of the company until nearly 10 o'clock, when Gov. Francis arose and delivered an address in the course of which he was repeatedly in- terrupted by applause. From the first it Was evident that the assembly was in per- fect sympathy with him and the cause he | represented. His reference to the prompt acceptance of the proposition by the city of St. Louis to raise $1,000,000 for an exposi- | tion was loudly appiauded, as was also his Statement that although Jefferson paid fifteen millions for the territory it was now Worth fifteen billions The eloquent Representative J. P. Doli. ver of lowa was the second speaker. Mr. Doliver was witty and effective, and when he said that lowa was in hearty accord With the proposition to fittingiy com- memorate the centennial anniversary the applause was long continued. enator Henry M. Teller of Colorado, third on the list of speakers, spoke for ‘the centennial State, and sild he pledged ite credit that the rest of the purchase would not be ashamed of Colorado when they all met at the great exposition of 199%. At length he dwelt upon the acumen and fore-sightedness of Jefferson in acquiring the purchase, and epoke of what would have followed had the Republic neglected this great opportunity. Senator McPnery of Louistana, repre- senting the oldest State in the purchase, spoke at some length on the part Louisiana had played in the history of the nation and said that she would not be lacking in siding the great show. ” Pert SCOPE OF THE EXPOSITION. The Aim of the Projectors Explained by Chairman Francis. Gov. Francis, Chairman of the Commit. tee and presiding officer of the banquet, said: " Gentlemen—On the th of January last there assembled tn St. Louls a convention of © odd delegates representing the States and Territories in the Louisiana Purchase. They convened in compliance with the call of the Governor of Missouri for the purpose onaldort the commemoration of the is Rs ¥ 7 er te an - - t. % _ sertin — ' og © . + ; : “eo? .

We are here to lay our plans before ; you, to ask your advice, to enlist your co- operation. Do you question the mer'ts of the propo- sition” Consicer for a moment what the | Louisiana Purchase has contributed to the ' wealth and glory of the nation. | exposition as we are planning will be the Such an scene of compet tion of the highest mech- anism of the world and the theater for the display of the best thought of the age. We {are willing to enter the iists with the first | in every line of every clime. We wish to |; commemorate the life and services of the -mmorial Jefferson and to show our preciation of the grand principies he culeated. The 100th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase should be marked by the erection of a monument to Thomas Jef- ferson in the capital or metropolis of every State carved from the Lou siana Territory. It is our disgrace that nowhere within the limits of the purchase, save at Columbia, Mo., is there a memorial to perpetuate the virtues of that sage and patriot to whom we owe so much. On behalf of St: Louis Il am author'zed to say—and in this statement I am sustained by substantially all of her progressive. pub- lic-spirited merchants, capitalists and lia- boring men—the men who have made the c:'ty what it is—and 2% or more of them are seated at this board—I am authorized to say that the city of St. Louis pledges her peo- Ple to raise at least 10 millions of dollars toward preparing for such an international] exposition as w.ll fitly commemorate the Louisiana Purchase, provided the Federa! and support by lending to the exposition company five million dollars. You may hedge this loan about with such safeguards as your good judgment may de- termine. We have no objection to your mak ng it conditional on 10 million dollars being previously provided by the city of St. Louis, nor shall we oppose the further con- dition that the Federal Government must be repaid its advance of five millions be- fore any payment is made to the subscr_b- ers or to the city of St. Louls. We submit these suggestions for your consideration, and should be pleased to have your views on the subject, either now or at your convenience. The gentlemen who have done the work and guided the move- ment up to this t.me endeavor to realize the magnitude of the undertaking outlined, but they are fnlly resolved to be connected with nothing in the form of an exposition that will be second to any ever held in this or any other country. The Columbian Exposition had expended about 20 millions when its gates were opened on May 1, 188. We think that with 15 mil- ons and the benefit of Chicago’s experi- ence we can accomplish as much or more than she did with 20 m.llions. If our city and her people are not willing to put up 10 millions for this celebration, then we have lived there a third of a century without learning the'r epirit—then St. Louis is not ready for an international exposition, ani those now advocating it will abandon the undertaking. A body of earnest, energetic the estimates in. support to the | enterprise, and would lend their potential | for the exposition a and Territories of the Louisiana Purchase, | and and representing the City of St. Louis, to | crust.

Napoleon would have done a better part by the French had he transferred them and baggage, with their Lares and Pen- taes, to uisiana and abandoned La Belle France bodily and forever to England, Prussia. Austria and her other enem:es. If Jefferson had lived a thousand years, he could never again have so multiplied his country’s wealth and strength, for the all- sufficient reason that nowhere on this planet ‘s there such another body of land /as that which he added to the Union. The boundaries of the Territory were un- | certain, which enables us to establish them 'accoftding to our will and according to our strength. | If we had been as strong then as now and had at that time developed our present ab- normal, unappeasable, all-devouring land hunger, we would have construed the lim- its of the Purchase as stretching from the Aurora Borealis on the north to Cape Horn on the south. and frotm the Father of Wa- ters on the east to the setting sun in the west, The title which the First Consul conveyed to us was inchoate, but at New Orleans Andrew Jackson converted Napoleon's neb- ulous quit claim into a general oe | deed against which even the gates of hell | Shall not prevail. Napoleon sold that vast empire for a mere song—for $15.000,000—an amount of ‘money which Congress now votes away in ; the twinkling of an eye and without de- bate. Within that territory are probably a hundred counties—any one of which is worth more than that entire sum. Missouri alone has three billions of dol- ‘lars in sight.

When Napoleon had signed the title deeds he said to JAvineston and Moore—and it was the chief satisfaction which he derived from the transaction—‘Now I ‘have given | Cy England a maritime rival’’—a grim prophe- which was fulfilled by Commodore George Dewey on a famous Sunday morn- ing in the harbor of Manila and by Schley’s one Fourth of July celebration at San- tlago. The products of the Louisiana Purchase of every kind now exceed a billion dollars per annum. Scientifically cultivated, Missouri can pro- duce enough food to feed al) citizens of the Republic, and the Louisiana Purchase sur. poe ly to feed all the inhabitants of the giove. Government will grant its recognition of the | exposition and will evidence its good will | The Louisiana Purchase proper embraces the Indian Territory and. Oklahoma, por- tions of New Mexico and of the States of Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado, Montana, ‘Wyoming and the entire States of Louis- i jana, ap- | in- | as a egreat Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Texas—for let it never be forgotten historic truth, susceptible of demonstration, that Texas was part and percel of the Louisiana Purchase. By reson of the purchase we finally ob- tained by right of discovery, conquest or purchase all the rest of our possessions between the Mississippi and the Pacific Ocean. Children are now born who will live to see a majority of all our people residents of the Transmississippi country —controling the political destiny of the Re- public—owning the larger portion of its property. The centenary of this immortal deed is in every way worthy of the most splendid celebration that can be dévised by the wit ‘of man or consummated by the wealth of the wealthiest peop'e under the sun. St. Louis, the great City of the Iron Crown, is the ideal mlace to hold it. The largest, the richest, the most populous city in the purchase, situated in the heari of the continent, easily accessible by river and rail. with ample hote! facilities to house and feed all strangers who may come within her gates, a delightful, salubrious climate. a generous, intelligent, law-abiding, hos- pitable. patriotic people. she cordially in- vites the world to be her guests and to assist her in fitly commemorating one of the most stupendous events in the entire annals of the human race. WONDERS OF A CENTURY. Eloquent Address of Representative Dolliver of Iowa. Representative Dolliver of Iowa delivered a characteristically eloquent speech in the course of which he said: The negotiation of Thomas Jefferson's administration for the purchase of Louisi- ana is, after the adoption of the Constitu- tion, the most notabie step in the early history of the United States. But eo com- pletely are the movements of events hid- den from the eye of man that even Mr. Jefferson himself saw onty through a glass, darkly the stupendous continental advance of the English-speaking race, from the A!- legheny to the great river and beyond to the Golden Gate. Besides the Spaniards and the French- men and the native population there was a figure crouched in every military post and in every frontier settlement, the weakest of them, an enslaved race whose comings and goings were to be the text and theme men who aspire by proper motives, hav- ‘ng no selfish aims, sincerely desirous of | promoting the well-being of our fellows, | jealous of the parts our section and States have contributed toward the might and wealth and glory of the country. we feel that our cause is just and worthy; our claims just and consistent. We bespeak | your active co-operation, feeling that we | have a right to do so, and confident that ‘f ,it is granted our success is assured. | CHAMP CLARK’s SPEECH. } Louisiana Purchase Marks an Epoca in the World’s History. Representative Champ Clark made an elo- quent address in support of the proposed exposition. He said: | In the first half a century of our exist- | ence as a people there are six performances which stand out in bold rel'ef as epoch- markers, and which are especially worthy of celebration and commemoration as land- marks in our triumphal progress: Patrick Henry's Kreat lyric speech be- fore the Virgin‘a House of Burgesses, the Skirmish at Concord and Lexington, the Declaration of Independence, the Surrender of ‘ ornwallis, the Adoption of the Consti- tution and the Louisiana Purchase. When Jefferson bought that imperial do- main from Napoleon, he made the most gi- gantic and profitable trade in real eatate proposed on this earth, since the Devil took the Savior of mankind up to the top of a high mountain and offered him the domin- oe ee the world to fall down and worship ‘hat transaction changed the history of this Continent, perhaps of the world. x That wad the jongest single jump we ever made towards the head of the table among the Great Powers—the proud impregnable position which we occupy this day, and ng th he continue to hold so long as ns u the Baa pon its axis or slides down the strangest omissions in all I't- ure was Jefferson's failure to include of political strife for more than half a century. It was enough to appal even the brave and make a panic in the strongest hearts as our fathers looked the future in the face, while they drew the plans and marked the lines upon which their chil- dren took up that historic march into the wilderness of America and laid the founda- tion of 12 commonwealths. These are the States which at the end of the century are making ready to celebrate the original act which brought them under the flag of the United States. They propose to assemble on the banks of the river of which Daniel Webster said ‘It carries empires in solution” in the me- tropolis of the Southwest and there cele- brate the progress which they have made in the world's most miraculous century. They will digplay the riches of a soil more fertile than the Valley of the Nile, the ad- vancemeéent of the industrial arts, all the bewildering triumphs of civilization. They intend to invite the world to come and see how a free people master their oppomunities and use the hardships that beset them to gain patience for all burdens and etremeth for all duttes. The Centennial of the Mississippi! Valley, though the cabin of the pioneer will etand side by side with the marvelous novelties of architecture, will not ‘be altogether a complacent exhibition of what has ‘been done; it will be alao a prophetic revelation of what is to be done in the near future; of the larger life, higher ideals. nobler purposes that belong to the coming century; of the loftler patriotism that has put away forever the barren mo- tives of the past and dedicated itself with- out reserve to the service of the republic. As the older and younger sons of the na- tion meet towether on the banks of the Missiseipp! to think upon the eventa which eurrounded the beginning of their national life. there will arise tn millions of hearts the devout thankeeiving that after tndefi- nite sacrifices of blood and of tears, the re- public, delivered at length from all doubt and all fear. has entered tnto the larger faith which sees the old flag of our fathers filling with beauty and with glory all the certuries to come, “2 It was 11:3) o'clock when CT respond the name A , : ; x Bh atl. wag ere » ey , .

Governor Merriam of Minnesota said that St. Louis was eminently the proper place to hold the Exposition and he had no doubt that it would be as great a success as its projectors anticipated. As toastmaster Gov. Francis scored a suc- cess, and the neat manner of his introduc- tions brought applause from the well- pleased audience. Representative Champ Clark’s speech was | roundly applauded at its many rousing pe- riods, and its close brought an ovation. Representative Charles Curtis of Kansas followed Representative Clark. Mr. Curtis promised on behalf of the two Senators and eight Representatives the substantial sup- port of the State of Kansas for the exposi- tion. “If the nation will not lend its aid to the extent of the $5,000,000 asked,”” said Mr. Curtis. “I will pledge that the State of Kansas will lend St. Louis the entire sum. Senator George C. Shoup of Idaho was the next speaker. He congratulated the St. Louis people for the spiendid manner of its presentation of claims; prophesied for the exposition unqualified success and sald that Idaho would be in the van when the time came for substantial work and en- couragement. Senator Thomas Carter of Montana next spoke. Mr, Carter enthused the audience to a high pitch by his pleasing references to Missour!. In a witty way he told how St. Louls had excited his envy by monopcl- izing the’ mining interests of his State. Then he told of the wondrous wealth of Montana, and assured Chairman Francis that much of it would be found in Mon- tana’s exhibit at the great exposition. The great region west of the Mississyet should have some fitting celebration of the wonderful progress it has made within the memory of men now living. The proposed exposition would afford that opportunity, and there would be no opposing sentiment when the time for action came. Heart and soul the Louisiana. Purchase would jon in the movement for the exposition. Representative-elect Frank Mondel spoKe for the State of Wyoming. It was 20 min- utes past midnight when Mr. Monde! pe- gan, but few of the guests had left. They were too much interested in the proceed- ings. INDGRSED THE WORLD'S FAIR. Missouri University Council Heartily Favors the Proposed Exposition. Specia! to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, Mo., Feb. 25.—At a meeting of the Missour! University Council, having under consideration the St. Lou's World's’ Fair, the following resolutions were unani- Senator J. mously adopted: “The Council of the University of the ever, had not each made a confession. State of Missouri is in sympathy with the movement to hold a St. Louis World’s Fair, celebrating the Louisiana purchase centennial. It is eminently fitting that an exposition of the soc:al, industrial and ed- ucational achievements of the nineteenth ) century should be chosen as the method of | commemorating an event which has been | of such significance in promoting this de- velopment. ‘"The University congratulates the com- mittee of St. Louis cit‘zens upon the en- thusiastic and successful inauguration of the enterprise and pledges the earnest and active co-operation of the University.” NO NEWS FOR NICARAGUA. Government Unable to Learn of Condi- tions in Bluefields. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2%.—Neither the Navy Department nor the Nicaraguan Le- gation here has had any news from the Nicaragua revolution nor of the United States steamship Marietta, which was dis- patched over a week ago to Bluefields to | look after American interests there. The Navy Department has made several efforts to communicate with the Marietta without success, and it was rumored in the State Department that the Nicaraguan Govern- ment was under suspicion of holding up the Dopartment dispatches to her. Mr. Correa, the Nicaraguan Charge d’Affaires here, ex- plains this, however, by eaying that Blue- fields is in the hands of the insurgents, and that it is impossible to get through a mes- sage to the United States without running down the coast to San Juan or Colon, as there is no cable from Bluefields to Jamaica or any other point from which the United States can be reached by wire, MR.

Paramour Will Die With Her and De- spite Hig Devotion She Shows Only Contempt for Him. Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. MONTRBAL, Feb. 2%.—The first woman to be executed in the Dominion and Province of Quebec will be hanged Friday, March 10, in Ste. Scholastique, about a week be- fore the date set for the first execution by the electric chair of a woman in the State of New York. Although some at- tempt is made to have her sentence com- muted, popular sympathy is against the woman, and even Lady Minto has re- fused to interfere. The crime was committed 10 days before Thanksgiving Day, 1897. Isidore Poirier, a carpenter, was found murdered. His wife had been on a visit to her parents the nignxt before, using her own horse and buggy, and when she returned in the morning she found the house locked and was unable to awaken her husband by knocking. As she was the organist of the village church, and had _ promised to play for a wedding that morning, she went to church, layed for the wedding and then went to the house again. Still unable to enter, she asked the assistance of a neighbor to break open the door. When they entered the bedroom they found the husband dead. The room gave evidence of a horrible struggle for life. The wife had spent Sunday at home till about 4 o’clock. There had been a visitor, Sam Parslow, a friend of the family. The detectives learned that Mrs. Poir- ler and Parslow had been lovers for years. There was evidence also to show that the woman had been for years a degenerate. Neither could have been convicted, — e woman admitted that she knew Parslow intended to kill her husband. Parslow thought that the woman would marry him. Her motive was simply to be rid of the husband, for she had not the slightest intention of marrying Parslow. On the afternoon when the murder oc- curred they had all been drinking. Potrier finally went to sleep. Cordelta took the butcher kn'fe and gave it to Parslow, say- ing, ‘“Now is the time to kill him.”’ Par- slow hesitated, and, calling him a ‘“‘coward,” she seized the knife and plunged it into her husband’s throat. The woman has not exhibited the slight- est remorse from the time she was ar- rested till now. She had twotrials. As for ‘her partner in. .crime, she seems to hold him in the utmost contempt, although he was prepared to take the ent're burden of the crime upon his shoudlers if his lawyers would have allowed him to. The hangman of the Dominion, Rad- cliffe, has already visited Ste. Schoiastique to make prel'minary arrangements for the double execution, and the Provincial Gov- ernment will send two dozen officers to keep order. VOTES COME HIGH IN UTAH. Bribery Investigation Indicates That They Are Worth $5000 Each. SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. %3.—The Legis- lative Investigating Committee examined a number of witnesses to-day, among whom were 8S. X. Christiansen, Moses Thatcher, Senator Chambers and A. W. Christensen testified that he McCune. had been working in the interest of McCune: that he had received for services about $10 per week, and did not e ct anyth! . ther. He sald his aaty wan a naps ay 0 see that all the MoCune members were present at the Joint Assembly and look wise. Thatcher's testimony related a meeting at his residence between Ride. out, Stewart and McCune. He thought the talk was generally about the deadlock and that it ought to be broken. Senator Chambers testified to a conver. sation with Jackeon, In which the latter said he would vote for McCune after he had cancelled his obligations to other candi- dates, provided. he could become convinced that McCune’s campaign was honest. McCune was;-then put on the witness Stand. He sa he had no particular ac- quaintance with Representat’ve Law until Tuesday of last week. He eaid he met Law at the latter's eolicitation, and that after considerable stammering Law said he stood ready to vote for him (McOQune) on the terms offered by McOune’s men, but that he thought he ought to have more—naming $3000 as the amount he thought his vote worth. McOune said he refused to agree to the proposition, The committee adjourned to Monday morning, when MoOQOune wll be cross-ex- amined. COL. BABCOCK DEAD. An Intimate Friend of Lincoln and Grant.

Citizens of Pinar del Rio Write to Him That They Accept His Policy and Ask Him to Visit _— HAVANA, Feb. %.—Gen. Maximo Gomez, accompanied by two aides de camp, called upon Gen. Brooke at his residence at Vedado at 10 o’clock this morning. He was:received by the Governor General, Gen. Chaffee, the chief of staff, Maj. Ken- non, and Capt. Page. Gomez requested a private interview with Gen, Brooke, and the others, with the exception of one aide de camp for Gomez and Maj. Kennon for Gen. Brooke, withdrew. The conference lasted an hour and a haif. Gomez said nothing to indicate that he does not ad- here to the agreement arrived at with Mr. Robert P. Porter for the payment and dis- armament of the Cuban troops. But he submitted some considerations verbally to Gen. Brooke. Their nature was not dis- closed. The interview terminated with the under- standing that Gomez is to put the sub- stance of what he said in writing by Mon- day next. The uniform of a Cuban General, which Gomez yesterday wore on his entry into Havana, was presented to him at Mariano by a Spanish school teacher of Havana and the horse he rode was the gift of Gen. Torres, who is now in Jamaica. The citl- zens of Pinar del Rio have sent a dispatch to Gen. Gomez saying that they accept his‘ policy and begging him to visit their city. They have also sent a dispatch to Major- General Brooke thanking him for the ap- pointment of Senor Dolz as Governor of the province of Pinar del Rio. CUBAN ASSEMBLY DISPLEASED. Work of Its Commission in Washing- ton Not What Was Expected. HAVANA, Feb. %3.—The Cuban Assembly met to-day and heard the report of the committee which was sent to Washingtoa some time since to confer with the Gov- ernment regarding Cuban affairs. The Assembly was clearly dissatisfied with the doings of the commission. inas- much as its members had not acted in ac- cordance with instructions, one day tell- ing the President that the Cuban army was composed of 30,000 men and the next that it consisted of 4,000 men in the Cuban ranks. The commission presented a report of its conference with Gen. Alger, Secretary of War, and the Attorney-General, but this failed to lessen the Assembly's appar- ent feeling of disgust. It was finally de- cided to have the report printed and to hand a copy of it to each member of the assembly that it might be studied carefu)l- ly. The fact that $3,000,000 on a baais of $100 for each soldier was accepted and ef- forts to obtain more failed, makes obliga- tory the Assembly's ratification of the ac- ceptance. Gen. Gomez did not attend the meeting, neither did he send a representative nor a message. The next meeting of the Assem- bly will be held Monday. Governor-General Brooke, Gen. Lee, Gen. Ludlow, members of the Cuban Assembly, members of the City Council and the city and other officials attended a banquet at the Tacon Theater to-day. Gen. Gomes spent the afternoon at Quinta ¢e Molines, where he received several visitors, among them Gen. Diag. Capt. Greble has finished his report_on the inquiry regarding the widows of Spanish officers. He found that % widowe with 1 children occupy Government buildings and subsist upon American rations. These and many others who were self-supporting were Spanish pensioners, paid out of the fund maintained by deducting a percentage from the pey of the officers. The fund has been accumulated eince 184. Capt. Grebdle finds that the cash and the records have disap- peared. The books were probably carried to Spain with other archives, and the w'd- ows have not been paid their pensions for 12 or 15 months, and have been left to be supported by the charity of Cubans of Americans. Most of them are refined women. whose husbands died tn the serv~- ice of Spain. One case of yellow fever in the Fourth Tenessee Regiment stationed at Ganctl iritus has been officially reported to the officers of the chief eurgeon, and it ts re ported unofficially that there are three other cases there.

FIERY SPEECH IN THE SENATE. DENOUNCES MILITARISM AND TALKS OF ERA OF ©PAULETS. The Genator Declares That the Increase of Goldiers Must Be Only Tem- porary or He Will Force a Special Session. Gpecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. &.—The army Dill fs again tied up. Senator Gorman holds the key to the situation and upon his de- cision depends the fate of the compromise. The measure was brought up in the Sen- ‘ate to-day. Senator Hawley endeavored to fix an hour for a vote and was supported by several of the Administration men, but upon the objection of Senators Allen, Pet- tigrew and Gorman, no time was agreed wpon and the debate on the bill proceeded. Genator Cockrell, who, for the Democrats, had accepted the bill, made a protracted epeech in support of it, saying it was the bent to be had under the circumstances. He thought it met the ideas of the Democrats and urged his colleagues to give it their support. Mr. Allen of Nebraska made a long speech antagonizing it, taking the ground that the force provided was entirely too large, that there was no necessity for it, that it would - prove @ menace to republican institutions, te. * Then came the speech of the day. Sena- ¢or Gorman, who had been l'stening at- tentively to the debate, arose and began a against the bill. It had been sup- that the bill, as reported, met with fuman’s sanction, and to bring this point ;@ut clearer, Senator Warren of Wyoming ,@sked him if the b‘ll had not been practi- eally dictated by himself. To this Mr. Gorman replied that he had been misied. He had supposed that one of the ohief features of the bill upon which he insisted so strongly had been incorpo- rated, but, much to°his amazement, he ound that in the printed copy of the bill it ad been left out. He could not understand is. He believed he had been gold-bricked and was not reluctant to tell the Senate so. The feature which Gorman had reference to was in effect this: That in July, 19, the time limit set on the bill, the regular army should revert to its present status. In short, -his contention was that the pro- poeed increase should be merely tempo- rary. ‘Mr. Hawley, in charge of the.bill, en- @eavored to answer Gorman by saying that _ the bill provided for a temporary increase a 2 * ¢ a ; ~~. oe ? * . $ 2 ig ts i - é iss y, wag ee se es ; e a hy : ‘ — elgh aS “ A ER ty en only, he thought this was plain to ev- eryone. Wherpupon Mr. Gorman suggested that this amendment which he believed to have been intentionally eliminated, should be inserted. He asked Hawley if the.amend- ment would be accepted. “No, sir,” replied Hawley with emphasie, much to the disappointment of every one in the chamber. “Then,” said Gorman, “‘let the responsibility rest where it belongs. I eball not eupport this dill so long as I have @ voice in this chamber.”’ Thig was re- —— in the nature of a defi, and Senators ooked at each other in amazement. Would Gorman filibuster? Would he hold up the bill? Several Senators pressed about Haw- ley and urged him to accept the Gorman amendment, but he was obstinate, saying he had made every concession consistent with honor. ‘Mr. Gorman, still speaking, said he was willing to provide the President with all the men and all the money neces- @ary to prosecute the war, but he was not willing to provide snug places for political birelings for life. “This is an era of epaulettes,” he ex- claimed, with much vigor. Then he made ‘war upon the War Department and charged gross incapacity, inefficiency, lack of ex- ecutive ability, etc. In conclusion, Mr. Gorman said he feared large standing armies, feared militarism in every form, and thought it contrary to the epirit of the Constitution. Apart from this & great standing army would prove a grea buréen to the people. It would mean a congtant drain upon their resources, upon their incomes + ogy their posterity. ‘Mr. Gorman raised r. Cannon several points by Nga na a deficit of not less than $180,- 000,000. Senator Gorman’s speech was a bombshell. Administration men realize that it 6 within Gorman’s power to hold up the army bill until the end of the session, thus & special session for its considera- ® After the Gorman speech Senator Carter of Montana took the floor and made an ef- fort to answer the Democratic leader. When he concluded another attempt was tmade to fix a day for a vote, but without success. Appreciating the temper of the Senate the leaders forced an adjournment until Monday, hoping in the meantime to eonhciliate Gorman and bring about a vote. The details of .the discussion of this bill follow: Mr. Hawley, Chairman of the Military airs Committee, then called up the com- army reorganization bill. At the conclusion of the reading of the bill Mr. (Maryland) suggested to Mr. Hawley the desirability of permitting the ll to go over until Monday. “I think,” said he, addressing Senator Hawley, “you will economize time by al- lowing the bill to go over.” Mr. Allison (Iowa) suggested that if the , Oil's consideration was postponed until onday a time for a vote early on Monday ki be agreed on at this ‘time. Some } ay was made to fix an hour Monday Mr & vote, but without success. . Cockrell (Missouri), a member of the Affairs Committee, discussel at h the features of the measure. ‘This ure,” said he, “has been examined Very carefully. I indorse !t, becauee It is t, just, proper and necessary. It will ® for years to come the standing age pei OM Further along in his 8 of the bill Mr. Cockrell said the MORPHINE _A SIX DAYS’ TREATMENT SENT ON _ TRIAL BY MAIL, TO ANYONE WHO | HONESTLY DESIRES TO BE CURED OF THE OPIUN, MORPHINE OR CO- CAINE “‘HABITS.”’ "Remedy Contains No Opiates or Pois- Oas—Cures the Dreaded ‘Habits, Permanently Without Suffering. practitioner of Cincinnati, 0., af- - A well-known % 4 py a a - oe ee Rte wee F bay increase in the army provided for by the bill was “perf tiflab and = essential _ sg wee nh response to a question: by Mr. V he Said that the army. after 1901. ree re- duced to 38,400, and the number would be required to take care of the coast fortifica- tions. In conclusion Mr. Cockrell said: If we have a bill here which will adjust the army controversy for years to.come we ought to accept it. It is not prodigal of the people’s money. I have been on several commissions and committees for the reor- ganization of the army, and I honestly and conscientiously believe that this is the very best measure presented to Congress for settling the army since I entered this chamber in 1875. If the bill fails, my judg- ment is that that which will come here- after will not be so good for the country. Fa geen Bo 9 a, right in the sight of an, an ’m responsibility on & willing to take all r, Hawley offered an amendment viding that “no person who has passed tie age of 45 years shall be appointed as a field officer in said force (the Volunteer force), officers of the regular army excepted. Mr, Allen (Neb.) addressed the Senate in opposition to the general features of the bill. He was surprised that Mr. Cockrell could give his sanction to such a measure. “If there ever was a hideous skeleton, a monstrosity, a deformity in legislation, this bill is one,’’ he declared. “It is warped, dis- jointed, dislocated, It lacks science, it lacks coherence, it lacks good sense. “I am not concerned in this delightful fight now going on between the Secretary of War and the General commanding the army. I honor Gen. Miles in that fight. Ev- ery intelligent man in the country believes that our army was fed on trash and that a large percentage of the sickness and mor- tality in the army was due to the food given to the soldiers.” Passing fron: the army troubles, Mr. Al- len adverted to some in the navy. He re- garded it as a glorious thing that Adméral Dewey had the presence of mind to cut the cable between him and Washington, and that it was fortunate for Dewey he was in position to sever connection with Washington. “Then, too,” said Mr. Allen, ‘twe have the controversy over the two Rear-Admir- als in the navy. ether the man who fought the battle resulting in the destruc- tion of Cervera’s fleet and won it shall have the laurels of victory, or whether they shall go to a man who was 10 miles away seems a subject of controversy by the Navy Department. ‘The American people—70,000,000 of honest hearts and souls—will always believe that Schley was the hero of that battle and won that battle, and I am not detracting anything from the service of Admiral] Sampson, who, if he had been there, would have acquitted himself nobly. This seems to be a game of battledore and shuttlecock, and over in the Navy Department they are shedding more ink than blood.”’ “It shall not be said of me,” said Mr. Gorman, “that I would hamper the Ad- ministration in any respect. It shall have all the men and all the money to dispose of the condition at hand that it may need. It seems to me in doing that if it be only to suppress an insurrection in the Philip- pines the Executive ought not to ask us in the closing hours of a short session of Congress for such a measure as this. The President ought not to ask us for greater power than was accorded him in the war with Spain. It is not proper that the Ex- ecutive should ask for the suppression of a larger force than was given the President of the United States when we were at war with England, at war with Spain, at war with Mexico.”’ Mr. Gorman said that if one proviso were contained in the bill to the effect that at the expiration of two years the army should again be reduced to a peace footing of 27,- 000 men he would agree to it. “But whatever the conditions may be,” he continued, “‘with the acceptance of the proviso I suggest you will have an army of 100,000 men until four months after the term of President McKinley shall have ex- pired. The measure will give him greater power than a President ever had. It is a tender of greater power than was ever made in similar circumstances.” Mr. Gorman said that what he should in- sist upon until his voice should cease to be heard in the Senate was that Congress be permitted to deal with the question delfb- erately and with ample time for its consid- ration. Mr. Hawley had asked who was afraid of a large standing army. In reply Mr. Gorman said that every State in the Un- ion was afraid ofit. He (Mr. Gorman) wa3 afraid of it himself. Such an institution was contrary to the spirit of our affairs. He recalled the time when in 1876 troops were summoned to Washington at the time of the Hayes-Tilden controversy. “I remember the quiet intimidation of fhe presence of the troops,’’ said Mr. Gor- man. He had great personal respect fer Mr. McKinley, and had no criticism ex- cept that in his good nature he had per- mitted weakness and inefficiency in the departments. ‘‘Weakness, I say,’’ repeated the Senator, “Time alone can reveal whether there had been anything worse.’’ He was asked to have confidence in the Chief Executive, but could not forget that human nature was weak. He computed that for next year the expenditure for the army and navy would aggregate $369,000,000 greater than the total expenditure of the Government for 1871 to 1876. He predicted a de- ficiency of $180,000,000. Then there must be an increase of the direct taxation or more bonds or certificates. “Even now I hear that the Secretary of the Treasury is contemplating the issue of more Government obligations.”’ Continuing, Mr. Gorman said the only question was that of making a permanent increase requiring the action of all branches of the Government to discontinue. Mr. Tillman asked if the Philippine re- bellion could be put down by volunteers, and Mr. Gorman said he saw no reason why it should not be. But this was not the desire. The wish was to have more shoulder straps and more men to wear them. Insignificant as were the achieve- ments of the army, comparatively, in the Spanish war, and there had been ap- pointments of officers in the army of more men than had received such advance- ment during the first year of the rebellion with all the South in arms. Never were brigadier generals so thick in Washington. There were a_ sufficient number of them alone to suppress an ordi- nary rebellion. Mr. Gorman declared that under the pres- ent head of the army a proper organiza- tion of the service could not be effected. Mr. Tillman, interrupting Mr. Gorman: ‘Then there is nothing in the bill to pre- vent a recurrence of the embalmed beef scandal)?” Mr. Gorman passed off the question lightly, saying he knew little about it. Mr. Tillman: “None of us know any- thing about it, perhaps, but there is so much of it in the air we can smell it. “I do know this,” replied Mr, Gorman “the Secretary of War is a much abused man. He js not responsible for the depart- ment in which that scandal orginated, a department in which the officers are ap- pointed for life.’’ Mr. Gorman in conclusion made an appeal to the Senate to fix the number of men and the amount of money necessary to meet present exigencies and both would be given them if only a time limit were placed on the call) If this question of his was re- fused and the bill forced through Congress then let the a” be taken by those who advocate It. Mr. Carter, a member of the Military Af- fairs Committee, replied to Mr. Gorman. He said that every auditor of Mr. Gor- man, a felicitous and eloquent orator, must have been impressed wi the pathetic solicitude of the Maryland Senator for the present Republtean national adminis- tration; a gsolicitude which affected the auditor almost to tears. A passer-by, Mr. Carter said, entering the chamber during Mr. Gorman’e speech woudl have been im- eased with the idea that all of his col- eagues were bent on disrupting the Gov- ernment by forcing an inorease of the standing army. Judging from Mr. Gorman's remarks too, the passerby would have been led to believe that the United Gtates had been defeated and humiliated in the war with Spain. Mr. Carter « ~ ws as @ Hy, not as a, ; . . th / i are ao sting 19 ao EPe sts P+ Sa iy eh J ’ as ; i , “SS oe * ay Sry thee gy 5 AEE aN te fa “” pi ng % _ a * rn = ‘ tot dy EP ng the “cry of militariem,” jared: “Mi iitarism somes to sired only freedom and a chance to breathe in God’s eunlight. That wer was no brought into existence as a grand crusade of arms.” After discussing at length the result of the war with Spain, showing how the Philippines fell into our hands, he asked if it was desirable to leave those islands to float around the Pacific as political de- relicts. To do that would be the national crime of the century. Having accepted those islands, we had undertaken also the responsibility for law and order there. ‘We will first perform,” said he, “the duty of the hour, and there is not a man who breathes in this chamber to-night who will be willing to surrender our flag and position to Aguinaldo and his followers.” In due course of time (Mr. Carter be- lieved on each of these liberated islands, the people would meet on their national holiday to celebrate the landing of American troops which brought them freedom. Mr. Carter estimated the number of men required as 30,000 for the Philippines, 12,000 for Cuba, 15,000 for coast defenses and 4,000 for duty at the various Indian posts in this West. This would account for 82,000 men provided for in the bill, and Mr. Carter pointed out that quite one-fifth of the total number of 100,000, according to statistics, would be incapacitated for duty. Mr. Car- ter, in conclusion, said that the duty of the hour would be performed in such @ manner by the American Government as to call down upon it the benedictions of history. It would meet the full responsi- bilities placed on it by the war with Spain and those responsibilities should be met and the duty performed as only Americans were capable of meeting and performing them. Mr. Smith (Dem., N. Y.), tn stating his reasons for supporting the bill, sai that, as a general and broad principle, he was opposed to a large standing army, in ordi- nary circumstances. He regarded such an army as dangerous to the liberties of the people. “In the hands of a less scrupulous man than President McKinley,’’ said he, ‘‘a large standing army may be used to repress free- dom of speech and the press. It might be used to sustain large corporations in un- lawful combination. It will cause an im- mense expenditure of public money. There is no necessity for a large standing army when viewed from the lessons «f the past glorious battles of the volunteers. “T will not see the flag displaced or the country humiliated through any action of mine. I am a Democrat and shall always remain so, but I am an American citizen.’’ ‘He believed in letting the President, while the war eontinued, have all the re- suurces necessary for its successful prose- cution. The army bill was then laid aside for the day. A bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase a site for a new depot for the Sixth Lighthouse District and erect the necessary buildings was passed. On motion of Mr. Hawley it was agreed that when the Senate adjourned it be until 11 o’clock on ‘Monday. After passing 47 pension bills the Senate at 6:35 p. m. ad- journed., CANNON GROWS WROTH. Tells Simpson That if He Were in Ma- nila He Would Be Shot. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—The House con- tinued work on the army appropriation bill to-day, but failed to complete it. Consider- able animosity was developed during the debate and there were sharp passgges be- tween Mr. Grosvenor and Mr. Cannon on one hand, and Messrs. Simpson (Kan.) and Cochran (Mo.) on the other. Mr. Cannon declared that if speeches made by Mr. Simpson and others on the floor yesterday had been made in Manila they would have been tried by a drum- head courtmartial and shot. The House went into committee of the whole and resumed the consideration of the army appropriation bill. Mr, Hay (Dem., Va.), the ranking minor- ity member of the Military Committee, criticized the amount carried by the bill, which, he said, was plainly insufficient to maintain an army of 100,000 men. The hearngs before the committee, he said, had shown that it cost $1000 to maintain one enlisted man serving in this country and more while serving abroad. This bill ap- propriated $79,000,000. His estimate was $120,- 000,000. He charged that the friends of a large standing army did not desire to let the country into the secret of its enormous cost. But there would surely be a defi- ciency. Mr. Hull said he frankly conceded that if the reorganization bill reported to the Senate yesterday became a law there would be a deficiency. The bill provided or 55 regiments of infantry against 30 in the House bill, a large staff and an increase in the number of enlisted men. There would be about 1000 additional officers to pay for, and the deficiency, in his opinion, Mr. Simpson (Kan.) criticised the increase in the number of clerks and messengers provided for the War Department. - The number of clerks in the bill was 240, mes- sengers 68. Mr. Simpson said he under- stood it was the custom to detail many of these messengers as private servants, butlers, etc., for high officials in the de- partment. Mr. ‘Hull said the increase in the number of clerks was absolutely necessary. As to the charge of detailing messengers for pri- vate service, he knew nothing. Secretary Alger was on the floor for a time during the consideration of the army appropria- tion bill to-day. : Mr. Cochran (Dem., Mo.) attempted to se- cure time to answer the statements on the other side yesterday, that there was noth- ing in the nature of an alleged alliance be- tween Aguinaldo and the American forces before the capture of Manila. Mr. Hull objected. “This is not the first time,’’ said Mr. Cochran, “that the majority in the closing hours of a debate have made challenges and then objected to replies. Their objec- tions are made to cover their retreat.” Mr. Hull thereupon withdrew his objec- tion, and Mr. Cochran proceeded to give what he said was the most important chap- ter of the war. Upon the testimony of three American generals, he contended, first, that we solicited an alliance; second, that it was solemnly formed; third, that the Filipinos kept their faith, and, fourth, that we shamefully violated our compact. He referred to the reports of Gen. Anderson, Gen. Greene and Gen. Merritt to prove his assertions of the valuable aid rendered by Aguinaldo and the insurgents. Mr. Cochran also insisted that the money said to have been embezzled by Aguinaldo ($40,000) had been used in the purchase of arms and in fighting the Spanish. This, he said, was proven by testimony of Consul Wildman. Mr. Lewis (Dem.), Washington, delivered a sort of valedictory upon the conclusion of ‘his two terms in Congress, in which he expreseed ‘his view amid generous applause from both sides, that no matter what dif- ference there might be as to our rights and duties in the Philippines, Congress must, and every member of the Congrese should support our soldiers fighting abroad for the honor and glory of their country. Mr. Lacey (Rep.), Iowa, after complMment-., ing Mr. Lewis, denounced the other side generally for firing into the rear of Otis by sounding the praises of Agufnaldo and Agoncillo upon the floor of the House. Concluding, he paid a glowing tribute to the valor of the American soldiers fighting in the trenches under the tropic sun at Manila. Mr. Groevenor (Rep.), Ohio, pursuing the eubject along the same lines, recalled the days of.Tom Corwin of Ohlo, who was in the Senate during the Mexican war. Cor- Advance Spring Styles of....

Less favored GZ nk ar Se red scoter ——— The above map has been carefully com- piled from United States documents by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Com- pany of Columbus, Ohio. The figures were taken from the latest mortal statistics published by the Government and entire- ly agree with the archives kept at the Hartman Sanitarium. The map is made in four shades. The lightest shade shows the States which have the lowest per cent of deaths due to catarrhal diseases. In these States very close to 42 per cent of all deaths in 1890 were due to catarrhal diseases. That is to say, over four out of every ten deaths were from catarrhal affections. In the States of next darker shade the per cent varies from 42 to 4. In the next darker shade 4 to 48 per cent of the whole number of deaths resulted from catarrhal diseases. In the darkest shade we have indicated the States in which over 50 per cent, or one-half or more, of all the deaths were directly traceable to catarrh as the cause, This is an appalling state of affairs. This nation has got to confront the fact that catarrh has become a national curse. Catarrhal diseases threaten the life of our people. Over one-half of the people suffer from some form or degree of catarrh. Fully thirty-five million people are per- sonally interested in the discovery of a radical catarrh cure, Mrs. Turner’s Case. Mrs. Maggie Turner, of Holly Springs, Miss., writes: ‘“‘About fifteen years ago I was taken with catarrh of the head. I tried several doctors and all the pat- ent medicines I could hear rec- ommended for catarrh. I spent several hundred dollars and found no relief. I was gradually grow- ing worse, and was given up to die. Last Sep- tember Pe-ru-na was recommend- ed to me by a friend, and I began to take it. I had no faith in anything any more, as I was not able to sit up, and was a mere skeleton. After I had taken one bottle of Pe-ru-na I began to improve. I am now taking the ninth bottle and believe myself to be per- manently cured. I have discharged all my help, am doing my housework alone, and weigh 155 pounds.

Secretary Lonz pays the Filipinos a high compliment when He ventures to believe that Admiral Dewey wants the Oregon to “impress’”’ the natives—to give them a solid idea of Ameri- can strength. If the Malays have not been impressed already it likely that a dozen Oregons will move them much. They witnessed the destruction of the Spanish fleet, which the Americans accomplished without the loss of a man. They have heard of the American Admiral’s vigorous rebuke to the T™eddlesome German and they have stopped thousands of Yankee bullets in a mad effort to erush Otis’ little army. if they do not now realize the overpowering strength of the United States they never will. We have a giant's strength and if we propose to use it like @ giant the Filipinos will be duly impressed when we shoot the last man of them down. Nothing short of that will bring such unimpressionable people to their senses. ++ -——__—_______- We Are All Perambulating Stoves, —Cassier's Magazine points out that the natural heat supplied by a multitude of people in a big building is very great.

The best assurance that the French Republic is safe from a coup d'etat is the news that Paris is laughing at the leaders of the conspiracy of the League of Patriots. Parisians have a keen sense of the ridiculous. It is so keen that the fall from the sublime to the ridiculous constantly menaces the would-be “man on horseback.” A slight mis- take or failure changes the tragedy into a comedy and the hero into a laughing stock. And the first ripple of laughter @mon, the boulevardiers marks the political demise of the Gonspirators. When Deroulede and Habert failed to interest the army and the Prefect of Police telephoned the army officers to let them sleep in the barracks untt] they wanted to go away the solar plexus blow was delivered on their plans. Paris laughed at them. ss Scarcely less ridiculous are other figurés in the conspiracy @gainet the Republic. Louis Napoleon, the only soldierly Poesibility, is apparently out of the contest.

In a magazine article, published a year ago, Mr. Robert P Porter superintendent of the last census, recommended sub- Stantially the principles of civil service reform. “Make the census a permanent office of: the government.” he wrote, “and apply to it precisely the same rules and reru- lations as to the employment of clerical help that are in vortie in the other departments.” He went on to recommend civil Service examinations and held that such a plan was practical] and business like. ae Mr. Porter complained that under the present system the superintendent must spend most of his time listening to ap- Pitcants for “jobs” and apportioning the clerkships to fei ae under such a mental strain and then went home and j; died, it was a noble death. Mr. Spencer fell in the forefront of | battle for the emancipation of women. This is the age of sovernment by palaver, and this hero did hig best to help women to understand the best order of palaver. His mantle hes fallen upon Mr. T.'B. Reed; a good man who welghs 259 pounds (more or less). The ladies have “turred him down,” thoug acknowledging that he is “the gsreatest authority on parliamentary law in the world.” This is to say that they are greater than the greatest, like the woman in Cambridge who could not be the best mathemati- clan in the university but wag better than the best. Mr. Reed has been turned down in a good cause, the cause of progress. That he was not progressive enough was not for went of good -vill. Let us pray that the mental strain will not be too much for him. a, Ae rw TT Keenine City Boys Clean.—It is not only In sumener that free baths In a city are a blessing. In Boston it has been d‘a- covered that the baths are well patronized in mid-winter. During @ recent cold weck 450 men, women and children used one of the Boston free baths. These baths are especially popular with the boys. On January 14, 581 boys patronized one of the bathe. Boston will have a clean lot of boys. The 8t. Louls youngsters have good reason to envy them. re THE WHITE MAN’S BURDEN IN AMERICA Attorney General Monett of Ohio, who has had some expe- rience of late which qualifies him to speak with authority, has some views on the white man’s burden. “Take up the white man’s burden in Michigan and Ohio and New York as well as in Luzon,” he said in a Detroit speech on Washington's birthday; “not only take up the burden of the corporations that are legally operated and main- tained, but also take up the burden of the victims of the cor- porations that have abuse their privileges and franchises. * Let not the roar of our cannon at Caloocan %r the thunder of our navy at Manila drown the cries for help of the smal! manufacturer, of the struggling young business man, or the laborer who ts willing to become a capitalist and employer, but finds himself crushed by the projectile hurled from an illegal monopoly in our very midst.” Such admonitions should be heeded. Cunning schemers are trying to draw the public attention away from domestic dangers, hoping that under cover of a foreign war and “a rebellion” in the Philippines they may consummate their base purposes and fasten industrial slavery upon the people. It is a solemn moment in American history. We may sub- due the Filipinos. No doubt we shall. But it is not so certain that when that work is finished we shall not find ourselves in the hands of a tyranny of greed. If you want to see some fun, just spring that Louisiana Purchase argument on an anti-expansionist when he's right in the middle of an impassioned speech.—Pittsburg News. Where does the fun come in? What resemblance has ter- ritory immediatcly adjoining us to that which is many thous- ands of miles distant and which requires a standing army to hold? Besides, in the purchase of the Louisiana territory the consideraticn of peace was paramount and all the rights of citizens of the United States were guaranteed to the in- habitants. rw aS TRANSATLANTIC TRAVEL. Americans ar2 fond of travel, as the enormous increase of transatlantic business testifies. In 1870 the North German Lloyd carried to the other side 1456 first cabin and 1458 second cabin passengers.* In 1898, when many persons were disinclined to go abroad because of the war, the same line carried 8696 first cabin and 5640 second cabin passengers. In 1871 the White Star Line carried 1276 first class pa3sengers, the second cabin not then’ being offered; in 1898 the total of first and second class was 9698. Itis reliably learned that 100,000 first and second cabin pas- sengers visit Furone annually. The “man who has been to Europe” is no longer a prodigy of daring or a distinguished citizen. Qaeeeesesess — ~~ Slow Coming of the Solar Engine.—What is the matter with the solar engine? Every now and then the scientific papers an- nounce that we shall soon obtain light, heat and power di- rectly from the sunshine through engines run by .concentrated eunbeams. In the Paris Exposition of 1878 M. Mouchot's ‘“‘Sd- jar Receiver’’ worked a pump and boiled soap by the heat of the sun, In 1880 an invention by M. Pifle was announced that would lift 114 cubic feet of water 15 feet per hour and do many kinds of work by solar power. Yet the practical, eco- nomical solar engine has yet to be built. Meanwhile the coal fields are being devoured at a rapid rate, and coal combines squeeze the people. — -— Oe If the Turners turn blocks of unsightly buildings into play grounds for the city children they will rank high among benevolent associations.

City "Firm Controls Supply. : KANSAS CITY,Mo.,Feb. 2%5.—According to the calculations made by men interested in the growling and marketing of celery, the visible supply of that food product is rap- idly decreasing and will soon become eX- hausted. Moreover, ‘the present supply is almost entirely in control of a commission firm here, and dealers from every city in the country will shortly be clamoring for celery that ie distributed form Kansas City. Before the recent cold wave the celery markets of the East were supplied princl- from three growing districts, Cali- Florida and Rochester, N. Y. There are, to be sure, numerous growers living in the vicintly of every large city, who supply a small amount of the demand. They are hardly considered by the big growers, however who ra‘se acres and acres of the relish and deal almost exclu- sively in carload lots. m Before the cold wave swept over the coun. try nearly a!l Northern grown celery had been marketed, and with the coming of the freezing weather the Flor'da crop was damaged to such an extent that the output from that State was no longer a factor in the market. The cold weather has done material damage to. the celery grown in the Golden State, which will result in the shortening of the season there by six weeks and perhaps more, but it is believed, by the owners of the crop, that enough will be saved to supply the markets, grudg-ng- ly, until April l Kansas the pally fornia, Kansas Tailor a Second Holmes?

Maher, born Kean, was the law- ful wife of the deceased. The decision is the result of a trial of 10 days’ duration last January on an ap- peal from the finding of Jud which was the same as that ft Mya Neely. The finding in the probate court bi made on a petition filed by ' Maher to be declared the lawful heir to the estate of Maher.

Maher, the successful party in the finding of J Neely, filed a petition setting forth that had been married and lived with the ceased previously to his relation with other women, and that no legal se ever occurred between her and M etition asked that she be declared the awful wife and heir of the deceased. After a hearing of the evidence of parties concerned fn the case —* Koh saat held that the petitioner was the law- ful wife of Maher. The two other women then appealed from the decision. For over two years nothing was done in the case, and finally, last January, it came up before Judge Neely. The three wives were in court. Evidence was heard and depositions read Soy after day and testi- mony was submitted by each of the women to establish her title to the name of wif¢ and right of property of Mark H, Maher.

He is @ years old now, and must adopt a ational regime if he is to have health ro- bust enough to enable h!m to continue his political career. BANK GOES OUT OF BUSINESS. A SCOUNDREL Greek Bandit Told His Life Story of His Déath. ———— A WAS KILLED IN NEW YORK. cee see THERE WAS A TIME WHEN HE WAS A TERROR. Though He Boasted by Robbery and Other Crimes, He Was Proud That He Fought for His Country. NDPW YORK, Feb. 2.—The following ‘story of h‘s life of adventure was dictated to a reporter by Serrantos Ferontos, the Greek bandit, ay few days before he was shot dead Saturday by one of his fellow- countrymen in this city: “[ am not a bloodthirsiry brigand, as my enemies, men who would willingly kill me, say. I have led a life of adventure, but never has my hand been lfted against my country or my fellow-countrymes "Before I was 16 I was a student in the preparatory college for officers’ sons at Corfu. We heard of insurgent bands who ravaged the Turkish frontier and rumors of ris ngs in Macedonia, in the attempt to throw off the a yeriss rule. “Fourteen students, including myself came involved in communteation with Macedonians. We were discovered and charged with conspiracy. Among the l4 were lads since famous. We were tried and expelled from the college, but at once re duced to the regular army as ordinary Bu- zons or soldiers. We were separated and scattered through different corps. The nephew of the commander of the corps heid equal rank with myself. We quar- reled and a duel followed. I wounded him, for even then I was not a baby with the sword. “Duels were against army rules, and then too, I had wounded the nephew of the com- mander, Petropoulak!. I was sentenced to six months in the Medrese prison in Athens, From there I finally escaped and after nu- merous exciting experiences | joined a party of bandits. “I could net join the army under another name, for I would be known, owing to m height and appearance, wh‘ch were. well known. I joined the then famous band of the brigand Papakyritsopculos. We were seven in number, and I ser my novitiate terrorizing Lamia. I stayed only four months with the band. During that t'me we had one notable adventure that was profitable. The daughtesief a Deputy waa captured and her ransom amounted to 200 francs. “Shortly after that I joined Efthemeos Gakis’ band on the Turkish border. I had never wanted to prey upon my own people, but the Turks were enemies of my country, and I determined to avenge some of my countrymen’s sufferings. This band con- tained 12 members. “Just over the Turkish border at Servets, near Florina, was a Bey whose wealth was sa‘d to be vast. We plotted to invade the house, which our infoimant said was guarded only by three Albanians. Lots were cast as to who should effect an en- trance and admit the others by opening the door. “The lot fell upon me. The others were to look after the silence of the dogs, which is a science with the brigands. All bands carry bones for the dogs as carefully as they carry a gun. There is a proverb about the life of a brigand being as much the bone bags as in his gun. “In Turkey the chimneys of the houses are made very big. It was easy work get- ting down one of them, but a slave girl discovered me as I left the kitchen with a revolver in one hand and a dagger in the other. She screamed. Instantly an-+Al- banian rushed at me. He fell as I fired and, with the plan of the house in my mind, I found the door and admitted the others of the band. The other guards were soon subdued. One girl was taken cap- tive; another, who was captured, was ran- somed for D. “The chief of the band determined to make the other captive his slave. Greek brigands are very superstitious about wo- men captives. it. sacred as in her own house. ply held for ransom. When the girl saw that her honor was in danger she appealed to me. I had obtained the friendship of my comrades, and when [ determined to save the girl they upheld me. finally released and her honor saved. “About two years after the affair at Florina it fell to my lot to go into Salon!- ca.

Agents brought word that there was 25,000 pounds in gold in the vii lage. There were 40 men in this band, and it was determined to secure the treas- ure. It was Friday morning, Biram, the Turkish Easter, and fast of Ramezan when the bark on which the band had sailed had approached the town. “Then their agent informed them that the gold had been removed. A consulta- tion was held, and it was determined that rather than have the trip for nothing they would enter the city. The chief merchants were in the mosque when two of the band not leas than 10,000 pounds in gold would save them and theirs from being blown . by the band. Otherwise some of the blege held for ransom. rushed to windows and doors only to look into n barrels in the hands of the broth- ers of the two coo! men inside the church. “Tn such towns only a few soldiers are kept, and the number which could be gath- ered in the surrounding towns would hard! equal the band in size. The merchants toox the advice of the invaders, and when the pounds in gold was presented to the chief he decided to leave on the assurance of the people that they could not get the other for him. The telegraph station near the mosque had been seized and the wires cut. This was one of the boldest of recent exploits by Greek brigands. “after a time I found myself in the vicin- ity of my first leader, Papakyritso los, and joined him; but. only for a short time, Papakyritsopoulos had changed.

FALSE ALARM FIEND, CHARLES ROSSI CAUGHT IN THE ACT BY A FIREMAN, Patrolman Barney Reagan yesterday aft- ernoon prevented a number of firemen from seriously injuring Charles Rossi at Ninth and Chestnut ets. The arrest of Rossi saved him from a drubbing that many think he deserved. At 4:46 o'clock yesterday afternoon an alarm of fire was turned in from box @& at Ninth and Chestnut. Six fire engines, two hook and ladder companies, one chem- ical company, two fire wagons and three officers responded to the alarm. A drench. ing rain was falling. The streets were flooded with water. Beneath the water the granite streets were covered with a thick sleet that made it doubly difficult for the horses to draw the heavy fire-fighting ma- chinery. The firemen on reaching the place where tic alarm can from looked around but could see no trace of a tire. 1t was a false alarm. Most of ithe firemen returned to their station. Several, however, remained (to ascertain, 4 possible, who turned in the alarm. ; More than once recently faise alarms have been turned in from this box, and an unusually large number false alarms have been sounded from various partes of the city.

Democrats of All Factions Will Vote for Larger Revenue. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. %.—The Legislature 4id more real work yesterdwy, although it was done under the surface, than during all the weeks preceding. The caucus of Democrats late yesterday afternoon resulted in an agreement that al) bitterness and factiona! strife will be made secondary to the needs of the State and that the majority shail be a unit for the passage of revenue measures that will relieve the State Treasury from serious embarrassment. It must not be understood that the fac- tions have conceded anything to each other, and that there will be peace among Democrats on all questions.” The factions have merely agreed to unite in the enact- ment of necessary revenue laws. But in reality, having joined together on this one issue, there will be less bickeriug on all other points of difference. Within two weeks it is expected the Legisiature will pass several laws which wil] make up for the extravagance and waste of time of the first aix weeks of the session. The bills that are practically agreed upon as party measures for the increase of the revenue are three in number. One is a bill drawn by Auditor Seibert and intro- duced by Senator Doweil, providing for a more equitable division of the State and county dramshop license tax. At present County Courts are allowed some latitude in the levying of saloon taxes, and the re- suit is that in every county the State is al- lowed but $100 a year, while the county gets $600. This dill does not increase the tax on the dealer, but it provides that the State shall receive $30 a year and the county #00 a year. Another measure practically agreed upon is a tax of $2 4 year on all drug stores seil- ing liquor without regular saloon licenses, The third measure changes the present law taxing foreign insurance companies 2 per cent of their gross receipts from business done in Missouri. At present the State re- ceives half and the county one-half. This law will be amended so as to put all of this revenue into the general reventte of the State.

FAURE DIE BY POISON. —_— Hints of Assassination Fill Paris Papers. PEOPLE LOVE SCANDAL. BIS SECRETARY DEFENDS THE LATE PRESIDENT. There Are Stories That Faure, Driven by Fear of Exposure, Overtaxed His Energies in the Hope Death Would Come. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company PARIS, Feb.-2.—A theory is advanced by Editor Drumont that the late President Faure died by violence, having been pol- soned. The socialist leader, Sebastian Faure, who is no relative of the late President, has published in the Echo du Peuple a cir- cumstantial account of Felix Faure’s last day to substantiate the report that he was stricken at the house of a leading actress, for whom his admiration was declared to be notorious. Sebastian further prints a plan of the Elysee rooms, showing that the late Presi- dent had had a private door constructed leading through the gardens to the Rue de Elysee, through which he was wont to depart secretly to keep his appointments. This whole story is denounced by the Temps as a'fabrication, but the impression created by its circulation has induced M. Le Gall, Faure’s secretary, to give a nar- rative accounting for every hour of the President’s time during the day of his death. But Sebastian points out that M. Le Gall is unable to account for nearly two hours of the President's time in the afternoon other than to estate that he “retired to his private apartments,” and this was precisely the hour at which, it is asserted, he was taken ill at the actress’ apart- ments. This scandal is the only matter affecting the late President Faure in which Parisi- ans now take the slightest interest. Editor Drumont alleges that the Abbe Herzog, who attended the President, re- turned to the Sacristy La Madeleine be- fore 8 o'clock and informed his fellow priests that he had seen the President dead, but not at the Blysee, and that he had assisted in placing the body in a car- riage for conveyance to the Elysee. There has been no satisfactory explana- tion offered for the delay in summoning Mme. and Lucie Faure to the bedside if the illness originated at the Elysee. The Autorite alleges that the President had repeated warnings that his heart was weak, and had deliberately elected to commit suicide by overtaxing his energies in a wild revel; that life had become an intolerable burden because he could no longer keep at bay the blackmailers who threatened a full exposure of the alleged fact that his wife's fortune was the pro- ceeds of gross frauds for which her father had to flee the country. It is further alleged that the families who were ruined by Mme, Faure’s father had repeatedly appealed to Faure for some restitution to raise them from penury, but that he had Steadfastly refused to help them. Paris discusses nothing but this accu- lation of Faure scandals which, wheth- ®t well founded or not, have gained cur- Fency throughout the country. | Le Gall’s minute statement in refutation peer. tended A aive importance to the ch might other fe Van- ished from recollection, on oe SIXTEEN MAYORS IN ONE CITY London to Be Divided Into That Many Municipalities, Each With a Distinct Head. é Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. ‘Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company.

The Doings and Sayings of Folks Whose Names Are Well Known on Both Sides of the Wide Atlantic. ‘cesieficichapen \ \ Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Feb. %.—-A fancy dress ball Was given at the Palace Hotel, of which vhe great feature was a cotillon led by Law- rence Townsend the American Min’'ster to Pertugal, who danced with Mrs. John Ja- cob Astor. Mrs. Astor was dressed as a Star in gray and silver. The Duke of Manchester wore a white Canadian skating dress, and the Duchess appeared in a beautiful and most becoming MPmpire costume as Josephine. The prettiest dress in the room was that of another American. lady, Mrs. Lister Kaye, who represented Salambo, and the prettiest figure in the cotillon was also car- ried off by an American, Mrs. Frederick ‘Hartman, as a shepherdess. She appeared in an exqu_site floral car, from which gshe handed presents. Inquiries by the Post-Dispatch corre- spondent elicits the fact that there will be no defense in the divorce suit entered by Henry LeBreton, brother of ‘Mrs. Langtry, against lord Grantley, a. young sprig o/7 the aristocracy, whe compromised himself with LeBreton’s pretty wife. Le Beton has a considerable divorce court practice and is regarded as a clever lawyer. Great preparations are progressing for the reception of representative women, chiefly American, who are coming to attend an in- ternational council of women to be held in Iondon this summer. The fashionable, intellectual women in London soc_ety—Lady Battersee (nee Roths- child), Countess Warwick, Duchess Suth- erlan’i, Duchess of Bedford, Lady Tweed- mouth, Lady Jeune and many others—are arranging to look after a certain number of delegates from abroad. Their stay will be made pleasant in every way and the con- Mile. } » ia movement by American artists to +t ; stage ference is expected to give a great impetus for the movement for the advancement of women, as every country on the globe, will be represente‘. Dorothy Drew, Mr. Gladstone’s favorite grandchild, has written an account of her reception by Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle. “A grand servant all in red,’’ says Dor- othy, ‘‘came to say that the Queen was6 waiting. The Indian man whom the Queen likes very much was at the door, and the next moment I stood before the great Queen herself, whom grandpapa had served for 60 years. She was just like grandmam- ma, with a white cap on her head. “*T curtsied and she kissed me. I told her my name was ‘Dossie,’ and that we all had pet names at Hawarden. ‘Then the Queen told me that they also had pet names in her family. “The Queen put on her glasses and asked me to go to the. other side of the room so that she could see me better. ‘Then she took a little jewel case and said: “This is for you.” I opened it and saw a darling little brooch, with a diamond ‘V’ and a diamond ‘R’ and a turquoise ‘I’ and a little crown at the top made of red enamel. ‘I curtsied and kissed her hand, and she said, ‘Thank you very much,’ ‘She looked very nice and kind, and I liked her very much, ‘After that the Queen kissed me again and mother and I returned to town.”’ Lily, Duchess of Mar"“borough, is sailing for the United States to see her mother, who, it is announced, is dangerously ill. The Duchess is not taking her little daugh- ter, as she is too delicate to face a possi- bly stormy voyage. Lord William Beresford will stay at Brighton during the Duchess’ absence, un- der a solemn promise not to leave the pre- cious infant out of hie sight. In society it is insisted that the marriages of the two young Dukes of Roxburghe and Manchester are being arranged. The Duke of Roxburghe is now affianced, by re- port, not to Miss Astor, but to Lady Mary Hamilton, only child and heiress of the late Duke of Hamilton, and granddaughter of the Duchess of Devonshire. The health of Lady Victoria Montagu, daughter of the Duchess of Manchester, is so indifferent that the Duchess has let her house in Portman Square to the Duchess of Roxburghe, as she cannot return to England until June from St. Moritz, where, thanks to the large American contingent, they are having a particularly gay season. DUNRAVEN IN ANEW QUARREL. He Charges a Bishop With Declaring Episcopal Authority Would Be Used Against Him. Special Cable te the Post-Dispatch. Copsright, 1590, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Feb. 3.—Lord Dunraven is once more showing that he cannot enter into any kind of a contract without pro- voking a quarrel. He is a candidate for a seat in the new County Council in the County of Limerick, where his Irish ¢és- tate is situated. He has charged the Bishop of Limerick with declaring that he would use his Epis- copal authority to make it impossible for any Catholic to vote for any Unionist candidate unless the present Unionist gov- ernment introduced a Catholic University bill. The bD'ishop denies that he made that or any other threat, and Dunraven is now en- gaged in a violent newspaper controversy with him on the subject. Locally it !s believed that Dunraven will not be elected. REHAN TO APPEAR IN LONDON. She Has Been Engaged for the Next Drury Lane Drama. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch.

PIONEER IN NEWS COLLECTION. He Originated the Theory of a Genera) Agency for Distribution of the Re- ports of the World’s Events. NICE, Feb. 2.—Baron Paul Julius De Reuter, director and founder of Reuter’s Telegram Company, is dead, aged 83 years. Baron De ‘Reuter had done more than any other one man for the spread of gen- eral intelligence throughout the earth. He was the founder of the great Reuter agency for the sending of news by telegram, and his success was so pronounced as to draw praise from those who are highest in power in Europe. The first telegraph linge was built in Europe in 1849, being a line be- tween Berlin and Aix-la-Chapelle, and very soon afterward Reuter opened an office in the last named city. He supplied breaks in the service with horses and other instru- ments of speed, and was working up a fair trade when it occurred to him to go to London Oct. 14, 1851; Reuter opened an office at 1 Royal Exchange, and his first busi- ness was the circulation of news concerning the commercial world. This was secured by able agents in different parts of the earth and conveyed to London for distribu- tion. In 1858 an idea came to him to es- tablish a news service for the daily papers. The quantity of foreign news was very meager and the quality not good. One morning in October of the last named year Reuter walked into the sanctum of James Grant, the proprieter of the Morning Ad- vertiser. “I am a Prussian,” he explained, “and have been employed as courier to several courts of Europe and the govern- ment at Berlin. In that way I have be- come acquainted with several important statesmen and would propose to furnish you with foreign news more quickly and at a cheaper rate than that you are now paying.’”’ The Advertiser was then under an exX- pense of 4 pounds a month for its foreign news, but Reuter offered to do it for 30 pounds a month, guaranteeing that the telegrams would be fuller and better at that price. Asa test he offered to send the news a few weeks free of charge. The ex- periment was a success, and all the news- papers in London except the Times made contracts with Reuter for his service. The Times at first believed that Reuter could not give them a foreign service as good as their own, but was presently compelled to take and print Reuter’s dispatches. Some of his performances were startling. For example, the famous telegram of Feb. 9, 1869, in which Reuter quoted the French Smperor’s remarks to the Austrian Am- bassador: “I regret that my relations with your gog@rnment are not as good as for- merly, t I beg you to inform your master my personal sentiments toward him have undergone no change.’ One hour after- ward Reuter’s- dispatch was pubHshed in the Times and the Stock Exchange shaken to its center. Thereafter everybody looked the first thing for Reuter’st telegrams in their papers, His fame and prosperity waxed, and he added to his laurels every day. It was Reuter that first got the news that Slidell and Mason, the Confederate Com- missioners to England, had been taken on board the Trent. On account of this news a Cabinet meeting was called by Lord Pal- merston. It was Reuter who brought word of Lincoln's death to England, and, al- though the difficulties in the way were enormous, all were overcome and the agency triumphed. Among other things he did on this occasion was the building of 60 miles of telegraph from the west of Ireland to Cork. But he beat all competitors six hours. News of the Isandhhwana mas- sacre. in which 15,000 Zulus attacked Lord Chelmsford’s camp and cut to pieces a large number of men, was secured by Reu- ter’s men. Other feats of like nature were commonplace for the great reporter. Baron Reuter was born, at Cassel in 1816. In 186 he changed his agency into a com- pany, but remained its managing director until 1870. He was created Baron in 1871. HEAD OF THE MARDI BRITONS REVOLT AT THE DESE- CRATION OF THE TOMB. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copsright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Feb. 25.—The fate of the Mah- di’s head has become a dangerous topic for Lord Salisbury’s government. When Khartoum was captured the Mahdi’s Mau- soleum was destroyed and the Prophet's embalmed body was wrested from the Sar- cophagus, dismembered and cast into the Nile, except the head, which was presented to Major Gordon, a nephew of the Mahdi'’s famous victim. Major Gordon then ex- pressed the intention of presenting the head to the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons in London. This desecration of the Mahdi’s sepulchre was condemned feebly at the time, but now that the glamor of the Omdurman victory is passing away and its complete- ness is jeopardized by the reappearance of the Khalifa in strong force, probably ne- cessitating another expedition, a disposition is evinced to regard the desecration as deeply censurable. Lord Cromer has justified it as an act of policy to prevent the tomb becoming a place of pilgrimage, thus keeping alive Dervish tition. — ouA leading Conservative asked in the House of Commons whether no one has been reprimanded for “this horrible and ly outrage. a ye was given, though the inquiry was loudly applauded, At the Liberal meeting in the country The whole matter is to be brought up in al debate. oa ee overamment is charged with body enatching, an epithet that seems likely to tok. “The news that the Khalifa is gathering a host, varying in number from 15,000 to 90.000 men, and is marching on Khartoum, came with a rude shock to the people of Great Britain, who were under the im- pression that he was almost a solitary -anderer in the desert. Official circles, however, express satisfaction at the fact that the Khalifa is apparently determined to make another onsiaught on the Anglo- Egyptian forces, as they are confident he will easily be defeated.

Wales Abandons Baccarat for “Bridge.” CHANCE FOR HEAVY BETS. SOCIETY WOMEN PAY HIGH TO LEARN TO PLAY. The Gambling Mania, Especially Among Women, Is More Ram- pant Now Than Ever in the Great Metropolis. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1890, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Feb. 25.—Society has taken up a card game recently introduced and called “Bridge.”’ It is a very popular method of indulging the taste for speculation. This game has become quite the rage. It resembles whist somewhat, with the additional] attraction that it gives oppor- tunity for heavy bets, which are quickly de- cided. The Prince of Wales has abandoned bac- carat for it, and at a party given in his honor this week by ‘Miss Keyser, there were heavy winnings and losings in the anxiety of the guests to be in the move- ment. Society women with more money than brains and more vanity than both are paying as high as $75 to $100 for a course of six lessons from the professors in the art d6f ‘Bridge playing, as skill enters into the game to a considerable extent. The expert players who introduced it have been reaping a golden ‘harvest from the learners. The losses have already been heavy in the cases of some smart young married women, and the rage cannot fail to end in scandal. The gambling mania is more rampant than ever in London society, which has re- covered from the severe lesson it received in the South African and Hooley booms, The gambling in copper shares continues, though: that boom has evidently reached its summit. LADY CURZON’S DISTINCTION. Her Decoration One That Is Usually Reserved for Royalty. LONDON, Feb. 2.—The decoration of Lady Curzon of Kelleston, wife of the Viceroy of India, with the Imperial Order of the Crown of India, is a high distinc- tion, as the order is practically reserved for royalties and the wives of Secretaries of State for India, Viceroys, Governors and native Princes. The India mails just received show Lady Curzon has made a conquest of Anglo-In- dian society, while the native papers pay her glowing tributes. The Bangabasi, a leading vernacular paper of Bengal, in a truly Oriental eulogy, declares ‘‘all the dess of the Hindoo pantheon must hide their heads in the presence of Lady Curzon,” who is like “a diamond set in gold, or a full moon in a clear autumnal sky.” The paper adds: : ‘‘Her color is like molten gold, its white- ness already having assumed a tinge of red in the warm climate of this country. Her teeth are like a set of pearls, her waist is beautifully slender and her raven tresses, setting off her white complexion, make her look like we imagine the Goddess Saras- wati. Her well-shaped head is beautifully poised on a swanlike neck, her eyes hand- somely purple, are ever restless and beam- ing intelligence. Her forehead is small and narrow, her neck is like the neck of a swan and her voice resembles the voice of a cucko.”’ This rhapsody concludes with saying Lady Curzon has moral and intellectual gifts seldom allied with such beauty. ‘Lady Curzon, according to private advices received in London, is only suffering form a mild alttack of enteric fever, which every European contracts within a few months after arrival in India. Anglo-Indians regard it as a bad sign that Lady Curzon, with every precaution taken to preserve her health, should have fallen a victim so soon, as’ it shows un- usual susceptibility to climatic affections. Lady Curzon will leave for Simla next week, three weeks earlier than she had planned to do, but the Viceroy cannot join her there until May. He will make the royal progress alone through Bengal, the Northwest Provinces and the Punjaub.

Special Contrivance Built for Her Com- fort in Making Landings. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1890, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Feb. 25.—A striking illustration of the eluborate care taken for Queen Vic- toria’s comfort on railway journeys is af- forded this week. She has decided to cross to France on her Way to the Rivera by Folkestone for the first time, instead of from Portsmouth to Cherbourg. The Royal special train started Wednesday, in charge of her suite, on an experimental journey from Windsor to Folkestone, It was run alongs‘de the pler and a special contrivance for the Queen's passage from the train to the steamer Was tried. The steamer crossed to Bologne, and there another special landing arrange- ment was tested. In order to prove in the surest way the practical perfection of the arrangements, an old woman eervant from Windsor Cas- tle, physically as disabled as the Queen her- self, was taken In the train and acros# to Bologne, using the gangways constructed for her Roywel mistress. The experiment was successful in all re- spects. Vanity Fair says it ts ati possible that the Queen will not go to Cimies.

The German Government is of the opinior that Mr. Chambers, since the publication of the letter to his brother, which appeared in the newspapers of the United States. an “improper person to represent the three governments at Samoa.”’ It is further said that he was put in his present position in order to represent the protecting powers, and that for him te criticise one of these powers, “makes him manifestly unfit to serve any longer in his present capacity.’’ It is only necessary, it is further pointed out, to reverse the case in order to show this strikingly to Amer- icans, “Let it be supposed,” said the German official referred to above, “that such a let- ter had been written by Herr Rose, the German Consul at Apla, would not the entire American press point out that it was flagrant proof of Herr Rose's unfitness to any longer hold his place?’ Mr. Chambers’ letter has greatly stirred up public feeling in Germany, and nearly the entire press asserts that, by the letter, Mr. Chambers has “glaringly manifested his unfitness for his position.” Some of the papers declare that, inas- much as Germany, the United States and Great Britain have declared their intention to maintain the basis of Samoa intact, while Mr. Chambers, by his acts and words, has put himself outside the act, he can no longer be considered a proper man- datory of the signatory powers. The same Foreign Office official, speaking of the Philippine Islands, said: “Germany only wishes the re-estabdlish- ment of orderly conditions, and this solely on account of our commercial interests in the islands.’’ The meat inspection bill is accompanied by a long memorial explaining the reasons guiding the Government in the matter. It gives details showing that the fears ex- pressed that a general inspection would make meat more expensive are unfounded, the cost of such inspection being only one. eighth or one-sixth of 1 cent per kilo in the densely populated districts. It is also set forth that the importation of meat will not be rendered more difficult, as the impor- ters will easily accommodate themselves to the new provisions. The Agrarians do not like the bill. They assert that the paragraph providing for reimbursing by the Government of the losses to producers through having their cattle or meat condemned as unfit for food cannot be thought of, and they add that cattle insurance is the only remedy for these producers. The Tage Zeitung attacks the bil] veno- mously, declaring that it is wholly unac- ceptable, and that it contains unjustifiable benefits to foreign importers. The paper says in conclusion: “For us, the trouble will only be ac- ceptable if all the provisions relating to for- eign meats are replaced by one paragraph saying that all the provisions of this law apply with equal force to all imported meats. Unless this shall be inserted we hope the bill will be rejected.” A careful reading of the whole bill demon- strates that the fears entertained that it will render the tmportation of American meats more difficult are in no way borne out by the facts. An American expert now in Berlin eaid: “There is every reason to hope that the bill, if it becomes a law, will materially eid our meat exporte to Germany. It is more favorable to American meat interests than we have the right to expect. The great feature we have contended for, a single in- espection on a uniform plan, is conceded outright. The other features are of still greater advantage to us. The United States can claim unrestricted admission of all American eausage and pickled, cured or salt meats of every description, for it can be shown that there is not a single case of trichinosis or other disease due to American meats. This will put this class of American meats on quite different footing than it has held hitherto. I regard this provision as being one of the utmost advantage.” Prof. Stiles has eent a detailed statement regarding the bill to Washington, and it Is understood that his conchusions tally with the views here quoted.

THE LAMBTONS’ MISFORTUNES, SCANDALS IN THE MARRIAGES oF TWO BRITISH EARIS, e_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_ History Recalled by the Annulmens of the Bonds Which Bound Lord Dunham to an Aus- tralian Actress. LONDON, Feb. &.—A sad etory came out in the divorce court this week when the Hon. @’Arcy Lambton, sev- enth Earl of Dunham, obtained a divorce ftom his wife, formerly an Australian ac- tress. ‘There were three co-respondentsa. Lamydton’s counsel eaid the actress had persuaded his client, before their marriage, that she had £500 a year and was expecting a fortune when she came of age. They were married in 1888 and returned to Eng- land from Australia in 189. Later Mrs. Lambton attempted to commit suicide in a hotel at Paris. Finally, counsel added, the Earl of Durham heafd unpleasant ru- mors and told his brother. The latter taxed his wife with the statements made and she ran away from her honfe. Afterwards she wrote her husband 4 pitiful epistie, which was read in court, plea@ing for for- giveness for the sake of thelr child, 4 daughter born in 1991, and the miserable life she led. Mrs. Lambton said: “When you have heard the truth you will not wonder why I have so often tried to end my life. I began with a Me; but I have suffered for it. We are nearly etarv- ing. My confession of guilt Is the great- est punishment of my life. Like a coward, I was vile enough to tell Iles about my own mother and gister and money they never had. I am guilty of nearly all the vile things they say of me. What with drink and extravagance I have sunk very low. If I could only have the chance of being good again I would jump at it. Have mercy upon me,” The scandal] recalls the painful circum- stances of D'Arcy Lambton’s brother's marriage. The Earl of Durham wedded & strikingly beautiful girl. The bride ap- peared strange at the wedding and when the couple went to the Earl's country seat she behaved In a most pecullar manner. Eventually the truth dawned upon the Earl. His wife was mad. Treatment was tried, but not successfully. The Barl ap- plied to the court to nullify the marriage, but his application was refused. The Countess is now an inmate of an asylum for the insane at Sussex. She a hope- less idiot: but the doctors declare ehe will live to an old age. The Earl was born in 1855 and was married in 1882. a > oe } MARSHALL P. WILDER, Prince f Entertainers, and Entertainer , of Princes. .

The State did not explain the cause for this cloud. We will explain and prove it. “Betty Allgaier was the victim of a weak- ness. She was under the care of a physi- cian. Her relatives knew of it. The etrong are always more Zealous tn-their care for the weak. Baker, too, knew of her weak- ness. He took advantage of it. He fol- lowed it up. He destroyed Betty Allgaier and her home. Mrs. Allgaier, her aged mother, and Mrs. Petty knew of it. But they would conceal it from the eyes of the world. They hesitated about telling even the unfortunate gir.’s brother. , “Baker told Betty she must tel] no one of the relations that had existed between showing how the Allgaier household had been wronged by the man who was killed. But few witnesses were examined yester- day afternoon. Patrolman O’Meara, who was on the stand when court adjourned ' yesterday, was in the witness chair whem ‘court convened at 2 o'clock. He said it ‘was common report that Betty Allgaier was insane in the neighborhood where she lived last summer. Witness said that at the police station, where he took her on the night of July 22, Mrs. Aligaier said her daughter should not be held account- able for her actions. John J. Schulte testified to having heard a conversation between Patrolman O'Meara and some man at King’s highway an: Faston av., when the man threatened to kill Baker. The State showed, but not in 60 many words, that the conversation was the one referred to between Allgaier and Policeman O'Meara, which was told in de- tall by the policeman. The defense entered vigorous objections to Schulte’s testimony, but Judge Talty ruled that it was admis- sible» On cross-examination Schulte was asked if he could identify Campbell All- gaier as the man he heard talking to thea policeman. He could not, because It was dark when the conversation took place. Policman Matthew Carbrey was the last witness put on the stand for the State. He testified to the arrest of Aligaier and iden- tifled the revolver as the one taken from him. There were two chambers empty when he got the revolver. Here the State offered in evidence the Photograph oféthe place of the tragedy, the revolver, the clothes Baker haa on when he was killed and rested its case. The State’s case was apparently made. For nearly three days the commonwealth's attorneys had been piling up evidence tend- ing to show that on the night of Aug. 21 last Campbell Allgaier had slain James A. ‘Baker itn cold blood. It was shown that on the nirht of the homicide, on Sunday, after taker had returned from a walk with his wife and friends, Camipbell Allgaier had gone to Baker’s home. He called Baker to the gate and told him he. wanted him to quit talking about his sister. Baker replied that Betty Allgaier had disturbed not only hia peace, but the peace of the whole neigh- borhood. What Allgaler replied to this is mot known. But Baker told him he was not the man he.wanted to «ee. Then he started to enter his home. His wife and her two sisters were eyewiltnesees to the shooting. Baker was on the second step of the entrance to his home. His back was toward Allenier. Aleater drew his revolver, and at a distance of not to exceed five feet, fired twice. Both shots took effect. One penetrated the back. The other took effect in the arm. The first mentioned was mortal, and within an hour Baker wae dead. The details of the ehooting were testified to bs a dozen witnesses. Others swore that Alimaier had threatened to kill Baker. When the State finished its introduction of evidence it was eonceded on every hand that it had made out a powerfully strong Case. Rut there are two aides to every story. Now the defense will have its Innes. The counsel are sanguine and @eay that when they have finished and all the evidence is in they have no fear of the result. It is thought the defense will consume Monday and Tuesday in getting in their testimony. Mr. Anthony did not outline what the defense would be until the State rested its case. In presenting it he eaid, in part: “OCampbelj] Allgaler is charged with mur- der in the first degree. It is admitted that on the ® fst Auguat Mr. Baker was Killed Dv the defendant. But it is not ad- mitted that it was willful, deliberate, pre- meditated, felonious, or was done with ma- lice aforethought. The acts of the de- fendant will be shown at every stage. He acted the gart of an innocent man. There is not an clement of crime attaching to this boy. You have been given the history of the deceased. It has been gaid that he was from Virginia; that he was superin- tendent of a big manufacturing concern; that the was in the peace of the State. There is some of his history that Js not shown. We will show tliat. “History is not made in a day. We qi! show that Campbell A®galer was and is Honest; that he acted only to protect him- seif and his family.

When Baker failed to establish insanity he had her and her-gray-haired mother taken through the streets, followed by a howling mob to the police station. There an hon- est officer sent them home.

GOVERNMENT BY SYNDICATE. THE PHILIPPINE POLICY HAD ITS BIRTH IN GREED. Im Oube, Too, Valuable Concessions Are to Be Made to Men Whose Money Paid McKinley’s Debts and Elected Him. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. %.—Representative Henry V. Johnson of Indiana is bitter to- night in denunciation of President McKin- ley and his ddministration. He charges that McKinley shaped the policy of this country in conformity with the demands of capitalists on account of personal and ' political obligations to them. “What I said yesterday,” declared Mr Jehnson to-night, ‘was not based upon any evidence in my possession thers being no agreement between the trusts and the man in the White House ir writing. These gentlemen do not do busi- ness in that way. “J spoke from facts that are published dally in the wideawake newspapers, facts mown to every observant man of the day. Pacts that when stated go undisputed and unchallenged. “Years ago, when McKinley had been e¢ member of Congress, Governor of Ohio and was a Presidential possibility, ha was on the notes of a man that failed in that State for a large amount. His wife hae some property, $50,000 or $60,000 worth, per- haps, and this was to go to pay off in part the obligation. But McKinley, in his con- ferences and connections with representa- tives of syndicates and trusts, as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House, had made friends with men of wealth and they formed a syndicate among themselves and paid off the debts. Mc- Kinley’s money certainly did not pay them and bis money has certainly not paid th Obligation to this day.

CAUCUS FOR MONDAY EVENING. TO DETERMINE PARTY POLICY ON THE PHILIPPINES. J This Step, It Is Said, Was Helped Along by Col. Bryan While in Washington on a Visita Few Days Ago. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. %.—The Democrats of Congress propose to make a declaration to the country against the annexation or permanent occupation of the Philippines. A caucus of the House Democrats will be held next Monday night for this purpose and the Senate Democrats will concur. The call for the caucus was formally is- sued to-day by Chairman Richardson of the Caucus Committee, and states that the meeting is ‘‘to determine the attitude of the party toward the Philippines.’’ A resolution has been arawn by leading Democrats on the Foreign Affains Commit- tee, strongly declaring against annexation, occupation or the exercise or claim of sovereignty, and stating that the Filipinos shall be given their complete independence. This action is brought about by the course of Mr. Hitt, chairman of the Foreign Af- fairs Committee, in pigeon holing the Mc- Enery resolution, which disclaimed inten- tion to hold the islands permanently. It is ahso helped along by the recent visit of William J. Bryan, who sounded the key- note for a strong declaration from Con- gress against occupation of the Philip- pines. \ Among those active in securing the call were Representatives Dinsmore, Arkansas; Howard of Georgia, and Ball of Texas. Mr. Dinsmore says the essential feature of themovement is to secure a definite dec. laration of the attitude of the party against the permanent holding of the Philippines. Mr. Howard stated that the step had been taken mainly because the McEnery resolu- tion, passed in the Senate, had been ig- — by the Committee on Foreign Af- airs. No meeting of the committee had been called since the McEmery resolution was re- ceived, so it was manifest the House was not to be permitted to vote on such a dec- laration. He and his Democratic associates had, therefore, framed a resolution much Similar to that of Senator Bacon, which would be offered to the caucus Monday. If this, or a like resolution, were adopt- ed, Mr. Howard said it would be presented to the House and an effort made to have the Speaker grant an opportunity for its consideration. Im any event it would de- fine the position of the Democrats of the House. Judge Maguire of California says that while the financial subject will continue to be among the foremost party issues, yet it may not continue to be paramount owing to force of circumstafces in advancing the issue on imperialism. HANNA’S SKIRTS CLEARED. Senate Committee Declared Him Inuo- cent of Bribery Charges. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—Senator Mark A, Hanna’s skirts are cleared of the bribery charges, made against him by the Ohlo Legislature. This, at least, is the opinion of the Committee on Privileges and Elec- tions of the Senate, as expressed to-day. The report of the committee was unani- mous. Senator Turley, however, a member of the committee, reserved the right to make @ statement concerning the case later in the session. SCHLEY INCIDENT CLOSED. Long Says He Will Do Nothing Further Unless Requested. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. — Secretary of the Navy Long to-day denied most posi- tively that he intended submitting a state- ment to the Senate in answer to the letter of Admiral Schley. He stated. that so far as the department was concerned the Sampson-Schley matter was closed, and that it was not his intention to reopen it. In the event the Senate calls for addi- tional facts, the Secretary said, he would instruct his clerks to prepare the data re- quested. He also denied that he contem- plated appointing a court of inquiry to in- vestigate the controversy. If either of the officers requested a court of inquiry he said he would appoint one, as is cus- tomary in such matters. TREATY WITH MEXICO. Signed by Minister Mariscal and Am- bassador Clayton. CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. %.—The ex- tradition treaty negotiated between Mex- ico and the United States has been signed by Foreign Minister Mariscal and Ambaa- sador Powell Clayton. The treaty is to have a retroactive effect so as to cover the cases of fugitives from justice durin the interregnum between the old an the new treaties.

SENTIAL TO SUCCESS. A FINE FIELD {IS OPENING. Natural Advantages of the Southcrn States Pointed Out by Secre- tary Wilson. WASHINGTON, Feb. %.—Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in discussing the pro- ductive possibilities of the South and the Problem of negro labor, made the follow- ing observations: “The pressing question is, What is the laborer down South, who bas beeft growing cotton and is not getting enough for his Product, to do in the future to enable him to live comfortably, not to speak of im- provements in his condition, education and al) that? ‘The cotton crop leaves very little that is valuable for domestic animals after the picking is done, thus differing from the corn crop of the Northwestern States. There is a by-product, the cotton seed, that is exceedingly valuable, and much good work is being done by scientists at experi- ment stations to show how valuable cotton seed is for feeding purposes. The nitrogen content is greater than that of any of the grains; it is richer in nitrogenous matter than peas or beans, richer than gluten, meat or oil cake, “The Northern feeder and the European feeder have been using this by-product of the cotton fields with great advantage, while the loss of its fertilizing qualities to the South has been very great. ‘The South has more marked advantages over the North with regard to production. It has more heat and moisture, the two great factors of production, and if the cot- ton grower is to diversify his crops he must use those natural advantages. The dairy cow and mutton sheep would succeed ad- mirably in the South, but something for them to eat must be provided first. The winters in the South are mild, grasses, rains and legumes can be sown in the all, grow abundantly through the winter, upon which the dairy cow and the mutton sheep may thrive and produce. “From one-fifth to one-fourth of all the fat of milk on the farms of the United States is lost because people do not thor- oughly understand when to churn cream. The churning process is an art, having much science underlying it. But the cot- ton grower of the South only needs to learn the way, while the man who teaches him can understand the science. “Much yet remains to be discovered in the art of breeding animals, but enough is known to indicate to the instructor of the colored cotton grower of the South who is to be diverted into work of this kind, to enable him to breed his herd intelligently. “The South can repare the spring lamb much earlier than the North can, The Southern land owner understands horse raising. There is always a greater demand for saddle horses than is_ sup- lied. The world wants carriage and draft orses and good roadsters. Early spring chickens—the broilers—can be produced down there because they have milder win- ters and milder springs than we have, and the Northern market can be supplied. Should the market become over supplied we can send this product abroad in the ne gaa compartments of our steam. ships. ‘The colored man is learning the trades at Tuskegee; he ts mining coal and work- ing the manufacture of iron at Birming- ham. Some Southern men whom you will meet will say that they have the best labor in the world, and in some respects I am inclined to think they have. “The South has reached the point that most of the States of the Yorthwest reached years ago. Section after section devoted itself to corn and wheat until the lands refused to yield their crops and the farmer was driven to seek diversification. Prosperity came to the Northwest through the diversification of industries on the farm. I know of no other way through which it can come to the South. “It seems to me that the necessities of the occasion are up to theintelligent land owner. He should inform himself on these lines. He should have done it years ago.” PRAISE FOR THE PRESIDENT.

After President Southard’s address of welcome had been delivered the most im- portant address of the evening was that made by Hon. Whitelaw Reid. After allud- ing in complimentary terms to his fellow peace commissioners, he said: “It is now necessary for me to speak of another figure necessarily missing to-night, though often with you heretofore at the meetings—the membere of the Ohio Society who sent us to Paris. “A great and shining record already speaks for him. He will be known in our history as the President who freed America from the Spanish. blight, who realized the aspiration of our earlier statesmen, cherished by the leaders of either party through three-quarters of a century tor planting the flag on Cuba and on the Sandwich Islands; more than as the President who has carried that flag half way around the world and opened up the road for the trade of the nation to fol- low it. ‘*al] this came from simply rare | ihis duty, from day to day, as that duty*,was forced upon him, ‘No other man in the I’nited States held back from war as he did.

Never again will an ‘American . warship run greater risks in a peaceful harbor than in e. meine world will never again be In doubt whether, when driven to war, we will end it in a gush of sentimentality or a shiver or unmanly apprehension over untried re- sponsibilities, by fleeing from our plain duty, and at the same time i | up what we are entitled to, before we have ever taken an opportunity to look at it.” RE-ENLISTMENT OF SOLDIERS.

LETTER FROM DEWEY READ. The Closing Session of the Convention in Washington Marked by the Greatest Enthusiasm. Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. %.—The case of Mr. Roberts, Congressman-elect from Utah, was under discussion to-day at the closing ses- sions of the Daughters of the American Revolution Congress. Mrs. Donald McLean introduced a reso- lution asking “the nation’s lawmakers” to pass suitable laws making impossiblo the election of a polygamist to a public office. A spirited discussion followed, but the mo- tion was unanimously carried. The closing session was marked by great enthusiasm. The American Monthly Maga- zine, the official organ of the Daughters. was long and earnestly discussed. The committee in charge of the publication asked for $5000 to carry on the work, but this request was refused by a close vote. Mrs. Van Rennselaer Strong of New York announced the purchase by her chap- ter of the old historic place known 4s the “Yankee Doodle House,” near the village of Rennselaer on the Hudson. Mrs. Benja- min Thompson of Philadelphia created “a tempest of applause” by reading a letter from Admiral Dewey, expressing his sym- pathy with the work which the Daughters are doing and hoping that he will be able to attend the unveiling of the statue of Washington in Paris this year. Admiral Dewey is an honorary members of Mrs. Thompson's chapter. A movement which has gained sympathy is urged by the Nurses’ Association of the Daughters of the American Revolution to have a monument erected by the society in memory of Miss Reubena Hyde Wal- worth, a volunteer nurse of the Spanish- American war, who died from fever con- tracted at Camp Wikoff. Miss Walworth was the only daughter of Mrs. Ellen Hardy Walworth of New York, one of the found- ers of the society. Mrs. Avery of Ohio read a report from the Committee on Prison Ships. The report from the Committee on Legislation to pre- vent the desecration of the national flag was an interesting paper and caused much applause. Mrs. Manning, in summing up the work of the Congress, said the membership now numbered nearly 29,000 of the most cul- tured, patriotic and influential women in the United States and that their power for good was incalculable. She thanked them for the loyal support which had been ac- corded her. The Congress then adjourned to meet on Monday, Feb. 19, 1900. CENSUS 1S FOR SPOILS JOBS WORTH $8,000,000 A YEAR TO BE DISTRIBUTED. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—*The members of the National Civil Service Reform Asso- ciation may appeal and protest until they are black in the face, they will not stop the House bill to place the twelfth census under the operation of their favorite laws.” That is what a well-known New York Rep- resentative says. ‘‘No doubt,” he continued, “Secretary Mo- Aneny is right in saying that if the census is to be turn over to the spoilsmen its value will be greatly impaired. That is per- fectly true, and likewise very sad. ‘“‘Bob Porter’s celebrated eleventh census is a shining monument to the incapacity of the spoils system to wrestle with im- portant statistics, If this Congress had the good of the country at heart that horrible example would be enough to deter them from repeating the ‘Crime of 1890.’ ‘‘But the fact is the census is too good a thing to be wasted on civil service reform. The spoilsmen in Congress have hungered ‘and thirsted for a long time under the reg. ulations set up by Grover Cleveland and Teddy Roosevelt, Even the best that Mark Hanna has been able to do for them has left them with the ‘claims’ of thousands of their faithful constituents on their hands. ‘“NIow comes this decennial snap, with its 8000 clerkships worth $8,000,000 a year. It is too much to ask of weak Congressional human nature that such a good thing should be turned over to the unco’ guid while so many of the boys are hungry and thirsty. ‘And that is not all. The boys have got the census just where they want it. There is a sort of civil service rule affecting tiese clerkships. To be sure, it is a bluff, but it is enough to enable members of Congress with tender consciences to turn away con- etituents whom they don’t wam to appoint and at the same time not enough to stan: in the way of any others whose appoint- ment may be demanded by the exigencies of politics. “as a matter of fact. the man who ass the civil service examination (so-called) that now hedges about the cen- sus job must deaf, dumb, blind and an imbecile. But, as I say, it is enough to make a bluff with. “No, sir. There are something Ike 16 or 9% jobs all around for each Republican Sen- ator and five or six each fort ood Dem- ocrats; and if Mr. McAneny and his friends think Congress is going to throw a good thing like that wpe | for a Lttle thing like bungling the twelfth census, why, they don’t understand the moral make-up of the average member of the upper House.”’ A member of the Civil Service Board said this afternoon that to his certain knowl- edge such members of Congress as are ‘‘in the know” are doing their level best to keep secret the actual facts concerning the ‘bluff’? examination, in order that they may send away unwelcome applicants for jobs without offending them until the places shall all be filled by the Congressmen’s par- ticular friends.

Senators Cockrell and Bate Are Said to Be Really Responsible for the Change of the Secre- tary’s Programme. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. %.—The declination of the prominent Democratic members of the Senate and House Committees on Mili- tary Affairs under the leadership of Sena- tor Cockrell to accept the invitations of Secretary Alger to “junket” through Cuba and Porto Rico on the transport Berlin has caused a postponement of the trip. Secretary Alger this afternoon issued the following statement regarding the proposed junket: “The present condition of the army Dill and the work in the War Department which will immediately follow, should this bill be- come a law, makes it necessary for the Secretary of War to recall his invitation for the official trip to Cuba and Porto Rico on the Berlin, which was to leave New York March 6.”’ The Secretary of War fully intended to make the trip and endeavor to give all an enjoyable time, but Senators Cockrell and Bate began an agitation against spending @ month on board a Government trans- port at the expense of the United States. They were followed in declining by Repre- sentative Sulzer of New York, Cox of Tennessee and many others. It was stated semi-officially that the trip of inepection would be made at a later date. The Secretary claims it Is necessary for members of the Military Affairs Com- mittee of the Senate and House to per- sonally inspect the island in order to make proper legislation. Col. Francis J. Hecker, Military Aide, Master of Water Transpor- tation, and General Pooh Bah of the War Department, was to have joined the ex- cursion at a Cuban port. ae ALREADY A HOSTESS OF NOTE Wife cf the New Senator From West Virginia Had Attained Place in Society Before Husband’s Election. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2%.—The varying fortunes of politics will cause West Vir- ginia, on the coming fourth of March, to receive sincere congratulations and equally eincere condolences in the matter of Sena- torial changes. The retirement of Senator Faulkner removes from Washington life a household which for many years has been the ecene of splendid hospitality and bril- liant gatherings. The advent of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan B. Scott cannot fail to cause much pleasure among the votaries of Vanity Fair, because as every one knows, Mrs. Scott enjoys the social side of official life and she is more than willing to contribute her share, For the last year and a half Mrs. Scott has resided here, and in her new position as wife of the junior Senator from West Virginia she will not have to,perform en- tirely new duties. gained scores of friends already, and it is safe to pre- dict that she will be among the very few popular Sernator’s ladies.

Scott, Jr., who is in the regular army and is now sta- tioned at San Francisco, Mrs. Scott is an exceedingly handsome woman, genial and affable in her manner and a charming conversationalist. She lives ina mansion which has a long and brilliant social history, and she intends to keep up its record. his is the Pyson house, on the corner of Vermont av. and Fifteenth st. Mrs, Scott will remain in Washington for some months, even though an extra session of Congress does not require her husband’s presence.

There are greater dangers than those of the angry sea. That dread disease—con- sumption, kills more men and women ina generation than the sea has swallowed up since the earliest history of navigation. There is a sure and safe life-boat ever ready to be launched for men and women who suffer from this merciless destroyer, It is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov. ery. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption, bronchitis, asthma, lafyn- gitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood and. throat and nasal troubles. It acts directly on the lungs, driving out all impurities and disease germs. It soothes and heals the mucous membranes of the lungs, bronchial tubes, throat and nasal cavities. It restores the lost appetite, makes digestion and as- similation perfect, invigorates the liver, and purifies and enriches the blood. It fills the blood with the life-giving elements of the food that build new and —— tissues. It tears down, carries off an excretes the discased and half dead tissues upon which the germs of consumption thrive. It checks the cough and facilitates expectoration until the lungs are thor- oughly cleared. It is the great blood- maker and fiesh-builder. Unlike cod liver oil, it does not build flabby fiesh, but the firm, am mereeme — A health. It does not make co en ¢ more ulent. Thousands ve testihed to their cure under this great medicine after they were given up by the doctors, and all hope was gone.

Only Such Will Be Treated Until Cured at the Low Fees Which Have Been for So Long Sustained—Raising the Fees the Only Practical Way of Relieving the Strain Upon the Offices Caused by the Influx of Patients Seeking the Benefits to Be Derived from the Newest Copeland Treatment. For a number of years Dr. Copeland and his associates in practice have given the people their services at fees so low they could not even be called nominal. Since the discovery of the cure for Deafness and Treatment, that reaches cases hithe nce the introduction of the Newest Copeland unreached and mgpkes the cure of Deafness still more certain, the influx of patients from all over the country has been so great as to embarrass the facilities of the offices and laboratories. The work cannot be kept up in this way without largely increased facilities, which it is inexpedient to supply. The only practical way of relieving the strain will be fotlowed—as has been stated in letters to former patients—the fees will be raised to reduce the number of patients. In doing this, Doctor Copeland feels it just and courteous to give adequate notice to the thousands of patients who have during past years been treated at his office at low fees; to give adequate notice that every patient who has ever been treated at the office will be taken and treated under the new methods which have awakened the at- tention of the scientific world, at the fees originally pai, providing they renew before April lst. This means that every patient who has taken treatment and stopped for any reason whatever may commence again at the original fee during this present month and obtain the benefit of the new and wonderful treatment that has thrilled the world with its record of cures It also Means that any who have been for a long time contemplating taking treatment may have the advantage of the low fees, providing their treatment is commenced before April Ist. This ia the notice: The low fees which have been given during the Copeland practice in St. Louis will only apply to those beginning or renewing treatment during this month. The books will be closed April Ist. Only those patients ap- plying for or renewing treatment before that date will be entitled to the low fees. All those, however, beginning or renewing treatment before that date will, as is manifestly just, be entitled to these fees until cured. | This notice is final. It applies to all old and new patients and all diseases, It is lim- ited only in tima } A. M. ALLEN, 2700 Pine street, city, tells of the Perfect and Permanent Restoration of His Hearing. “When I went to Doctors Copeland and Thompson for treatment I couldn't hear a watch tick nor even the loud ticking of a clock which is in my room. When any one spoke to me in an ordinary tone, I heard the sound, but did not understand what was said and always had to ask for several repetitions. I was afraid to cross the street. If I did not see a street car EASY or wagon approaching I was not aware of its presence. It was no pleasure at all for me to attend church or go to a lecture, “I gave up all work entirely and devoted my time to obtaining a cure. Under the treatment of one doctor I got worse all the time. Then I read in the papers of the cures by Doctors Copeland and Thompson and went to them for treatment with the result of perfect and permanent restoration of my hearing. “The Copeland Treatment is wonderfully gentle as compared with that of other doc- tors and I am very enthusiastic in its favor, as it restored my hearing when I was rapidly approaching total deafness.” Neither the Doctors Nor a Change of Climate Could Relieve Her. Mrs. H. SENSEL of 5751 Easton av., city: “I coughed all the time, day and night, suffered from headaches, lost flesh, and became so entirely run down that I could not attend to the lightest work about the house. Sometimes when coughing I could not raise the phlegm. Then f re- quired a terrible Effort to Get My Breath and I would gasp and gag until thoroughly exhausted. When these apells came on I had to sit in a chair and lean over. I have done this for hours at a time. “Several doctors treated my case without helping me and I took two long trips on their advice in the hogtes that a change of climate would benefit me. Wven this wt a failure, and I came ‘back to St. Louls as sick as ever. Pat last I went to Dr. Copeland for treatment. An improvement was noticeabie at once, and now I am in perfect health. The cough is relieved, my appetite is good, sleep is refreshing. I Have Gained 20 Pounds in Weight, and attend to all my housework. The best proof to me that I am cured is that when I take cold it does not affect me. All my friends remark the improvement, and @ gentleman who had not seen me for six months expressed his astonishment at the improvement in my hekith.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. %.—As a vesult of a public hearing held Wednesday afternoon the House Committee on Ways and Means voted unanimously to favorably gepurt the bill by Hall of Saline providing for the taxation of franchises, and the Dill was yesterday presented to the House with recommendation that it pags. The hearing was held in the hall of the House of Representatives on account of the large number who gathered to listen to the arguments of Maj. Henry 8. Julian of Kan- gas City and H. Martin Williams of 8t. Louls. Maj. Julian was the author of the famous Julian franchise law, which the Bupreme Court recently held unconstitu- tional and which provided that franchises must be sold to the highest bidder. Mr. Williams: made the more extended talk of the two. He devoted himself to showing the committee that under the present Jaws and eystem of taxation nearly half a billion of franchise values escape taxation in Missouri. He took up first the steam railroads of the State. He said the actual cash value of the railroads of Missouri as determined by th lowest quotations of their stocks and bonds, in May, 1897, was $221,719,496, while their assessment for purposes of tax- ation was only $72,887,344.19, leaving the sum f $148,832,151.81, or two-thirds, untaxed. ollowing is a table showing the market value ant assessment of Li of the principal railroads of the State: ' Market Value.

Se eee As Appears After the Lopping Off the Most Competent Clerks of the House Are Men Who Have Been Discharged. es Special to the Post-Dispateb. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. %.—Mr. Whitecotton does not wish it understood that he has deserted the principles he an- nounced at the beginning of the session in his new relation with the Governor. He declares that he is still unalterably opposed to any infringement of the right of local self-government, and that he will oppose any and ali bills that add to the patronage of the Governor. Mr. Whitecotton’s posi- tion is that need has arisen for the union of all Democrats for the good of the State, and he accepted the invitation of the Gov- ernor to join with him and other Demo- crats in this cause. Gov, Stephens has approved Judge Haw- kins’ bill improving the method of asses- sing property for taxation. It was the first bill passed and is the first of any im- portance to be approved. State Auditor Seibert has pronounced it one of the best revenue measures presented to this Legis- lature. It becomes a law at once, and the assessments by the State Board of Equali- zation this spring will be made in compli- ance with it. Under the old law, real prop- erty and personal property were consid- ered as a whole, and if, for instance, the State Board of Equalization wished to in- crease or redeem the assessment on bank stock, the assessment on all personal prop- erty had to be reduced or increased in or- der to accomplish the desired end, This was also the condition with real estate, Judge Hawkins’ bill divides real estate into two classes, town lotsand farm lands. Per- sonal property is divided into the following classes:. 1. Banking corporations. 2. Railroad corporations. 3. Street railway corporations. 4. All other corporations. 5. Bonds, notes and other evidences of indebtedness. 6. Horses, mares and geldings. 7. Mules, 8. Asses and jennets. 9. Neat cattle. 10. Sheep. 11. Swine. 12. Farm implements and all other person- al property. Under this classification the State Board of Equalization may increase or reduce the assessment upon any class without affect- ing another. Under the old law the assess- ment, raised in order to reach certain Classes of property, increases the assess- the Chief to apply for a warrant in each 'case and he announces that he will issue | warrants for all of them on such applica- | tions. |ones maintaining the obnoxious wineroom ‘adjuncts. Most of them are owned by brew- ment on other classes so greatly as to ac- tually assess the possessions more than they own. The new. law is expected to. re- sult in a material increase in the assess- ment on certain lines of property, and to bring about a more equal assessment all over the State. Out of the clerical force fight, which was bitter, grew a condition that cannot but redound to the credit of the Legislature. For six weeks the House did nothing but wrangle over clerical force a host of petty mattecrg. It never g@#®°down to ser- ious work. Democrats in and out of office saw with regret the way things were going. They did all in their power to right mat- ters, but without success. Clerical force, was the disease that palsied the House. It was inevitable that it could do nothing good or wise so long as it maintained that nuisance. Then the House grappled with the cler- ical force, and in its eccentric, faulty way, stopped the scandal. At once the air became clear, and there was promise of good to come. Gov. Steph- | ens and the other State officers struck while the iron was hot. The Governor | buried the hatchet with which he has been fighting Mr. Whitecotton and his associates and invited them and a dozen others, rep- resenting all shades of factional creed in the House, anda number of Senators, some of whom have heretofore been his friends and some who have not, to a conference with himself and the other State officers. It was to be a conference in the interest of the whole State. The men invited ac- cepted in the same spirit, and the result is an agreement in Democratic caucus of Senators and Representatives to enact such laws as may be necessary to recoup the finances of ‘tthe State. Few citizens of Missour! know how 4des- perate is the condition of the State, finan- cially. This condition is not charged to. any one. It is a case of revenue not equal-| ing tthe legitimate expenses of the State. Auditor Seibert says it would be impossible to further reduce the ¢xpenses of the State without seriously crippling the public ser-, vice. He says Missouri's departments and institutions are run cheaper than those of any other State. Yet the revenue lacks about $300,000 each biennial period of meet- ing the expenses. There is danger, unless this condition can be righted, that State warrante may be sold at a discount. This Legislature has it within its power to save the State from situation. and it will probably do it. now that it has been turned in the right di- rection. It is a simple matter. «The Democrats have good working majorities In both houses. All they have to do is to agree, upon the Dills to be passed and then rush them through. The Republicans dare not obstruct such legislation. It may be put through in less than two weeks. The laws proposed to accomplish this happy end do not, with one exception, add any burden of taxation to the people. The exception Is in the case of the proposed tax of $25 on all drug stores selling liquor without a saloon license. The other two laws merely divide the taxes already im- posed more advantageously to the State government and to the disadvantage of ibe counties. ’ In the case of the dramshop license bill, whifoh was suggested by Auditor Gelbert, it doubles the amount now received by the State, giving it $200 a year and giving to the counties $00, without increasing the | total tax on the dealer. Of course, in counties, the loss of revenue from saloons will necessitate an increase in the taxation of property. But many of these counties have an extremely low as- sessment by virtue of thelr great revenue , from saloon licenses. one of these. St. Louis will be affected. She has about 2000 @aloons, and the loss from them will be about $200,000. Another revenue producing measure pro- posed is an amendment to the foreign in- surance tax law. At present foreign com- panies are taxed 2 per cent of the net re- ceipts on business done in the State and the revenue is divided oyealy between the counties and the State.

WORK OF MAJOR COMMITTEE. Warrants Will Be Issued To-Morrow— More Testimony Adduced Con- cerning License Commissioner. The application for a warrant arainst {Pe Herman Wehrs, charged with conducting @ saloon without a license at the corner of Spring av. and La Salle st., which Act- ing Prosecuting Attorney Charles Fensky says he will issue, indicates the beginning of active prosecution against the irregular- ities which the Major Committee has Shown to exist in the Excise Commissioner's office. The prosecution {is to be directed against the numerous saloon keepers who are do- ing business under licenses issued to other persons by virtue of rmits granted be Excise Commissioner Higgins which are al- leged to be illegal. Mr. Fensky has asked License Commis- sioner Higgins to furnish Chief of Police Campbell a complete Hist of the saloons operated under theee permits. He will ask Saloons of this class are as a rule the eries. The man whose name appears above the door and who manages the saloon is in reality only an employe of the brewery, yet the permit is issued in his name. A brewery may make any number of changes in the management of a saloon within a year and secure as many permits for operating under a new name, as was testified to before the Major Committee. A clauge in the liquor laws expressly states that there shall be no transfer of a saloon license. It is for the alleged violation of this clause that the wanrants will be lIs- sued. ‘ The request for a warrant gainst Wehrs was made by Officer Danaher, at the re- quest of Mr. Fensky. Danaher is tie po- liceman assigned to special duty in assist- ing the Excise Commissioner in enforcing the liquor laws, The Major Committee reverted to the in- vestigation of License Commissioner Kalb- fell’s office yesterday and heard some testi- money which showed further irregularities in that department. Edward A. Guthr'ie, president and gen- eral manager of the American Steel and Wire Manufacturing Co., a New Jersey corporation, with offices and a plant at 1935 Papin st., testified as to the stock on hand and the general condition of his busi- ness affa'rs in St. Louis end last year. He valued his stock on hand and tools at $125,- 000 and said his sales last year were about $1,000,000. The $100 he had paid the city was for a merchant's agents license. Chairman Major made an ye after the witness was excused and foumd that $1206.50 was about what the Steel Company would have paid had it taken out the proper merchants’ and manufacturers’ li- cense., The Major Committee’s expert account- ante have been at work on the books of the Internal Revenue office at St. Louis three days. The examination is being made for the purpose of checking Excise Commis- sioner Higgins’ office. It is a legend An saloon circles that no purveyor of liquors escapes paying Uncle Sam’s tax. It is also a legend in those cir- cles that politics have great weight in the settlement of the municipal and State tax- es. The accountants are preparing a list of all the saloon keepers in the city from the Internal Revenue office. This record will include a list of all the cases where “permits’’ for one man to operate a saloon under a license issued to another have been granted by the Excise Commissioner. Permits of this kind are the equivalent of transfers in the eyes of the Federal Government and transfers are not permitted. When a man who manages a saloon for a brewery is replaced by another, the new comer goes to the Federal Office and takes out a new license. He then goes to the Excise Commissioner's office and secures a permit to operate under his predecessor's license, Accountant Diedescheimer, who was placed at work on License Commissioner Higgins’ books when the Major Commit- tee’s investigation of that office was begun, is in charge of the men who are making the records for the Federal office. They have already discovered enough cases where ‘‘nermits’’ were granted by the Excise Commissioner to show a loss to the State and city of thousands of dollars through the ‘‘permit” practice.

LONDON, Feb, 25.—The events at Manila have been followed here with interest and there has been generally condemnation of the Filipinos’ attempt to burn the town.

Edwards Will Retain Possession of Little Willie Mae—New Pe- tition May Be Filed To-Morrow. Little Willie Mae Edwards clung with ap- prehension to her mamma’s neck in Judge Spencer's court yesterday afternoon and heard the court rule that nobody can take her away until it shall have been proven that her mamma is not a good woman. The next person in interest was Harry L. Edwards, the child’s father. He had come all the way from Monterey, Mex., to be- Seech the court that Jessie PT. Edwards, his wife, be forced to yield to him the custody of their child. He had hired law- yers, left his business, engaged a detective -—dione everything he could do to secure possession of his little girl, and it had all came to naught. The court refused to concur in his belief that his wife is nota good womaig, and refused to give him the child. Four lawyers hammered a half of yester- day afternoon away on the wreck of the love of Harry and Jessie Edwards. They made Edwards, who is 30, tall and as good men, tell all the mean things he knew of his wife; and they made his wife, who is 23% and blue-eyed and wom- aniy, and prettier than any defendant in a trial ought to ‘be, do a like unkindness by her husband. Edwards looked like a man who ought to get along with his wife, and his wife certainly appeared lovable enough. It didn't seem fit that they should be @is- putants at law, and if they had kissed — _— oe pememnenandt oa ae a Message explaining her a This was the begtnnm which led to yesterday’s trial. Mrs. Ed- wards told the court she did not go to meet her husband because she did not love him amy more. She had reason to believe him fo be more in love with other women. The husband’s suspicions of his wife be- gan with this, and he start an investiga- tion. When he got done with it he went to his wife and demanded that she give him their child—a girl of 8 years. The wife refused. She was with her sister at Fort Worth then, and for fear Edwards would steal the child, the mother hid her with a family in the country. Meanwhile she se- cured from the court an order restraining Edwards from possessing himself of the child, and the husband retaliated by secur- ing an order restraining the wife from re- moving the child from the State. The mother evaded. service and fied to St. Louis, bringing ‘the child. She located at 3426 Pine st., and her mother and sister came from Fort Worth and joined her here, All this happened last week. Edwards followed them to &c. fouls. He hired a detective to wat2n the heise and paced the etreet before it himself until nis wife feared him and soucht relice protec- tion. In his petition to the court for pos- session of the child his allexations against h's wife are severe as charges can be, but the evidence at the trial did not sustain them, and the court held ‘hat unless the husband could furnish better proof of what he alleges the child may remain with the mother. Which certainly suits the ch'ld, for almost all the afternoon In court she sat in her mother’s lap and clung to her neck. Edwards says he will file a new petition to-morrow and introduce additional proof of his wife’s unfitness to possess the child, He also says he is anxious to take both the child and the mother, but his wife will have none of it and refused to talk with him when the case closed.

The engagement of the couple had not been announced and it was not suspected that the doctor was thinking of re-entering matrimony. He has: several grown chil- dren. Mrs, Duke was a widow. She is handsome. A reporter who called at the Goodman residence last night was told that the doctor and his bride would not be in until late.

He assailed the course of study in the public schools, saying that entirely too much time was wasted in arithmetic and grammar; that no school below the eighth grade ought to teach a child the greatest common devisor nor the least common multiple and that no arithmetic exceeding 1530 pages should be used, and that a law should speedily be passed by the Legislature with that end in view. “When. I went to school,’’. he exclaimed, “I was taught that if a man did not study grammar he would never be able to speak the English language corréetly, when the truth is that no man ever learned to speak the English language by simply studying grammer. A man learns to speak the En- glish language by having others spéak it | and by reading Pnglish or American litera- ture and never by studying grammer.”’ In concluding Dr. Jesse eaid that al- though he knew but few of the teachers present personally, yet the fact that they were teachers made them all dear to him. “Iam always with you,”’ he exclaimed. ‘I admire you, and I would not give ten teachers for 10,000 politicians.”’ Upon concluding his remarks Dr. Jesse was vociferously applauded by the entire audience. Miss Marie L. Turner of Clayton read an interesting paper on “Problems Relat- ing to the Rural Schools."’ A short bus'‘- ness session followed, during which resolu- tions of thanks were adopted to the teachers taking part, to Dr. Jesse for his able address and the ladies of Clayton for their hospitality.

An Investigation by the People’s Mis- sion Showed He Never Had a Bible or Any Other Property. John, alias “Monkey” Keefe, who has served five terms in the ‘Missouri peniten- tlary and wore terms in the Workhouse, Is again under arrest. This time he got into trouble by trying to impose on the management of the Peo- ple’s Church Mission at Eleventh and Mor- gan sts. In telling a story of persecution by the police he overreached himself, and when the mission people went to the Four Courts to remonstrate against the police methods the deception was unveiled and “Monkey” was once more placed behind ‘ prison bars, Friday evening a roughly clad man en- tered the mission and told Supt. White that he was cold and hungry. He sa‘d he had only been released from the penitentiary a few days before, after serving ll years and three months. He had reformed, ie said, and wanted to be a useful member of saciety. He had become a Christian and had returned to the place where he had fallen to make a new start in life. He had only a few cents in money, and his Bible, JOHN, ALTAS “MONKDBDY,” KEEFE. when he reached St. Lou's. He said he had been in the city but a few hours when he was arrested by a policeman and drag- ged to the Four Courts and taken before (Chief of Detectives Desmond. The Chief took his Bible from ‘thhim and told him he could have until 9 o’clock to leave the city. Then Keefe told Supt. White that all that was-left for him to do was to leave the city. Hé was unable to combat the po- lice. Fle begged shelter for the night, and asked that he be given money enough.to buy a ticket to some other city, where he could’ begin life anew. Keefe was taken in and given clothing, food and ehelter. The char'table. Mr. White was determined to @o more in behalf of the man he thought was being persecuted, He went. to Chief Campbell and laid the man’s case before him. Chief Campbell called Chief Desmond in. They declared they knew nothing about any such a case and did not think it was true. Chief Desmond said that every prisoner is given back ‘his property on being released. He said the fellow was a fraud. He sent De- tective Gaffney to the mission, who took the man to headquarters. Chief Des- mond recognized the fellow at once as John, alias Monkey Keefe, a man he had first sent to the penitentiary 20 years ago, at which time Chief patrolman. Since then he has sent him up ’ audience would have applauded mightily. | , It seemed, too, that they were not with- out sincere regrets. When the trial began ‘they were unaware of each other's presence and wore an expression which reads in ‘the analysis of human nature, “I don't care; but they did care, for tears showed ifm their eyes more than once as they i\thought of the old days, and when his ‘ohild pasesd close to him during the trial |} Bdwards caught her up and kissed and 4 her. ; hen Harry and Jessie Edwards were ,;married in Texas ten years ago, they were jvery much in love. They both admit that. ‘The husband was a “rustler.”” His wife ladmits that. And his wife was very pret- ty. Anybody can see that. ' They went to housekeeping and there were happy years—how many the wife said ‘on the witness stand she would not pain herself to say. for it seems to her “a cen- tury ago." They went to Enid, a little ‘town in Oklahoma, and Edwards, busy fe!- 'jow, took the town by the neck and wrung '$t unutil he attracted attention by estab- ‘ehing the Enid Commercial Bank and two drug stores. He was the whole town, and Jessie, his wife, was its queen, and there were happy times in Enid unt!)

So she went ‘+o Bouth McAllister, in the Indian Territory, and entered the millinery business there with her sister. Her husband started off im another direction.

Beyond the Fact of{ His Intoxication i Wothing That Shows Reason for , Wis Deed Has So Far Appeared. Wpecial to the Post-Dispatch. CRANSTON, R. L, Feb. &.—Worn by worry, Weary with suspense, a middle-aged man of wealth and refinement waits in the county jail here, accused of wife murder. In the town hall of Knightsville Otia Hawkins, County Coroner and village , butcher, has since Tuesday been holding an | dnquest into the crime, an inquest so secret that not even an attorney for the defense is allowed within the doors. It is the most remarkable Rhode Island murder case of recent years. The man accused of the murder is Amos . Dyer Palmer, last of one of the oldest and ' wealthiest famalies in the (State. While .under the influence of liquor about 9:30 ' o'clock in the evening of Feb. 12, the anni- versary of his wedding, he shot and killed his wife, Addie Nutter Palmer, in their home, one of the most beautiful in Edge- wood, an aristocratic suburb of Provi- dence. Mr. Palmer is a good-looking § athletic, man, 39 years of age, though he looks younger. His wife was 40, though she did not appear more than 30. While not beau- tiful, she was attractive. She was a de- cided blonde and thoroughly enjoyed the reputation of being one of the most richly gowned women in Providence. Mr. and Mrs. Palmer had been married eight years and were inseparable. Servants of the household say, and neighbors cor- roborate the statement, that during their married life the husband did not once leave the house without his wife, and she was known to have left home without him only _ three times in eight years. They were to all appearances as happy.a married couple as ever lived. They had all the money they needed and more. They lived in the most beautiful house in their town and had it furnished with the best that money could buy, They had servants some of whom had been in the Palmer» family for many years, and remained loyal to the last of the Palmer line when his parents had died. The couple had several summer homes, horses and carriages. To-day the homie is marked. As. the electric cars whiz past it the passengers crane their necks to look at the house of murder. Neighbors who belong to an exclusive set which courted intimacy with the Palmers in past years, but who had cut Amos Palmer from their calling lst after his marriage, derive grim satisfaction from the verification of their prediction that something terrible would be the result of that union, Mr. Palmer was worth a million or mord a few years ago. An investigation of his esiate since the murder shows that through extravagance and reported liberal transfer of property to his wife his wealth has been reduced to a little more than a quarter of a million dollars. But he had all he wanted. The Palmer family has been wsinisbiaceal Bince the early settlement of Providence. Amos D, Palmer is the son of the late Dr. Amos Palmer and of Amelia F. Palmer, daughter of Benjamin Dyer. From a branch of the latter family came the. Governor of the State, Elisha Dyer. Palmer always accompanied his wife to churoh and to the ‘weekly prayer meeting: he went with her when she made social oalls, Palmer went to the public schools but a Short time, and then his mother went with him to see that he was not brought under ‘the contaminating influence of bad boys. Private tutors taught him after that. He never had boy or girl companions, and in ,@arly manhood had no chums and few ac- Quaintances. He led a life of ease and lux- ury in the old mansion, but it was a soli- tary life. Like many another young man exclusive- ly reared, young Palmer eventually broke loose from home restrictions, and he broke @way with a vengeance. He drank heavily and acquired an expen- sive habit of entering bar rooms, smashing things just for fun and settling the bills. Among other extravagant tastes which he acquired was one for fast horses. This hase of his life began when he was about years old. With his horses and emart traps he used to drive out’ to a roadhouee known as “The Willows.”’ on the Rocky Point road, in the town of Warwick. At "The Willows.” about eleven years ago, he met Miss Addie Nutter Bliss, the woman Who afterwards became his wife. and for whose murder he is now held in prison. Mrs. Bliss was an exceptionally attrac- tive woman, about one year his senior. She Was extravagant. She had classical feat- ures, & merry smile and bewitching dim- les, Her maiden name was Addie Man.- alle Nutter, and her home had been in Rochester, N. H. When quite young she went to Provi- Gence and while living in a boarding house | there met Doliber R. Bliss, the wealthy heir of an Attleboro, Mass, jewelry man- | UWiacturer. He lavished presents on her and finaliy married her secretly. She was ex- travagant, it is said, and eventually led Im to financial ruin. Mr. and Mrs. Bliss separated and she Went to live at The Williows, where Amos Palmer met her. Palmer's infatuation led to a desire to | Marry the divorced woman, and he asked | his mother’s consent. She would not lie- ten to the proposition. This led to aj Clandestine marriage on Feb. 12, 1891, after Which the couple lived secretly in a lux- Uriously furnished dovecote at the corner of Claverich and Frieadship stsx. Just a month and a day after the wed- Ging Palmer's mother died Although the two events were a month and a day apart the “marriage” and ‘death’ columns in the local newspapers contained the notice Aimultaneously. The sdandal grew when the new Mrs. Paimer came to the funeral as chief mourner Mrs. Palmer'feared her happiness was too to last. To Mrs. Swarts, a few weeks fore me murder, she said: the anni- and Mrs. ed a few friends to help m celebrate. It was also partly in honor Mr. William J.

HIS WIFE FROZE IN HIS ARMS. WRECKED AT SEA IN WINTER’s BITTEREST GALE. When He Reached Shore He Learned That His Mother Was Dead and — is Sister Was Rapidly . Becoming Blind. _—_ " NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—It is given te few men to suffer as does Capt. Elvin Darling of the schooner James E. Bayles, wrecked in the recent storm off the Delaware capes. The story of his wife freezing to death in his arms has deen briefly told by the Post- Dispatch. Darling’s boat was wrecked during the blizzard that raged along the coast ten days ago. He and his crew were rescued by a passing schooner and the dead body of his wife was given a burial at sea. Then Capt. Darling came to New York, where he received the news that his mother was dead. To this was added the fact that his sister, Alice, his sole remaining near relative, is afflicted with an incurable dis- ease of the eyes, and that total biindness for her is a condition of the near future. Elvin Darling was married seven years ago to Maggie Shea in New York City. She was born in Potsdam, St. Lawrence County. From among her many suitors ehe chose EKivin Darling, master of the schooner James E. Bayles, in which craft he owned a fourth interest. It was known in the principal ports between Maine and Central America. The two were married and took their honeymoon ‘trip on the husband's etanch schooner. When they returned from the ¢three-months’ cruise Capt. Darling told his wife that he would find.a home for her be- fore he started again. But she demurred. She continued to accompany him on his trips, and during his seven years of mar- ried life he never went to sca without her. But Capt. Darling knew the ers of the deep, and he did not wish that his wife should share them. He often prom- ised to her that he intended to buy a house in which she must stay end make a e. Last summer he fulfilled his oft-time promise of building a home. He bought a lot in Huntington, I. I1., and on it a neat cottage was erected. When the schooner next left port it was agreed that it would be the last voyage for Mrs. Darling. The James E. Bayles sailed for Mexico loaded with coal, carrying, besides ape. Darling and his wife, First Mate Charles Sodderman and a crew of six men. er the coal was unloaded the schooner was loaded with mahogany and cedar | and on Jan. 23 she left the port of span, Mexico, for New York. From'‘the day that the schooner left Tus- pan rough weather was encountered. On the afternoon of Feb. 13, while at a int just off the Delaware capes, the hurricane that was destined to wreck the James E. Bayles was encountered. The storm began at 3 o’clock in the after- noon, and within an hour the boat was hove to as a measure of safety. Before midnight the boat was leaking faster than the pumps would clear her. Finally the pumps were broken by the loogening of the ship's framework. The water steadily crept up, but the men knew that the boat would not sink. The cargo of wood insured the floating of the ship even if the entire bottom were When Capt. Darling realized that his boat was a wreck he ordered the masts to be cut away. PRach man was furnished with a new piece of rope 15 feet long. A noose was made in one end by the deft fingers of the satlors, and the loop was placed around their bodies. In the awful darkness of Tuesday night the expected happened. The hold was full of water. Suddenly the huge logs forming the cargo worked loose and began rolling around. “All hands on deck!” cried the captain. Ropes had been stretched across the quar- terdeck, and the men clung to these while tieing themselves to the rail and to the wheel. When forced out of the cabin Capt. Dar- Iing stoppec with his wife in the compan- lonway. where they were sheltered from the wind. The temperature was down to zero and the tlying spray froze as it fell on deck and on clothing. After a few hours the companionway was no longer tenable, and Capt. Darling dragged his wife away and lashed her to the weatherbitts. She was muffled up in cloth- ing and her husband never left her. He chafed her hands and whispered words of encouragement in her ear. Tuesday, eb. 14, was a day of suffering and horror. The weather was biting cold and the wind was howling flercely. At 5 o’clock in the afternoon a steamer came In sight. The men called loudly for assistance. The mocking wind drowned the sound of their voices, and the steamer passed on. Mrs. Darling, who had borne up with much bravery before, lost hope when the steamer passed from sight. Tuesday night was a century long to the nine human beings in the wrecked schooner, Seaman Frank G. Conklin, who Hives in Huntington, says that he lost all hope, and that he decided to end his sufferings by going overboard. He tried to untie the knot in the rope, but it was encased in ice, and he could not loosen it. All night the men suffered in dumb ag- ony: The sea tore away all the rall except that portion to which the seamen were lashed. That remained Intact, though the benumbed men wotld not have cared if it had gone and had taken them with ft. As darkness settled over the ship Capt. Darling took his wife in his arms and bravely faced the awful darkness. As he sat thus, chilled to the bone, euf- fering agonies from thirst, he clung close to his wife and hoped that she had Sealy fallen asleep. He moved his hand to her face. It was cold and she gave no sign of life. The aw- ful truth forced itself into Capt. Darling's mind. When a seaman told him that a passenger steamer waa in sight and wouid pass-within a short distance, he answer “It will not Ke me much good. My wife is gone. Ghe has frozen to death!" The horrified satlor joined in shouting fn hopes of attracting the attention of the Steamer. The passenger steamer passed on northward, leaving the eight live men and the one dead woman. All night Capt. Darling sat with the corpse of hia wife, the one being for whom he cared most, the constant companion for seven. years of happy married Ufe, in his armas. Wednesday morning finally came. The sun shone cheerfully on a sea that was tolerably calm, and the sallors crawled over the deckload of jogs forward and stripped and dried their clothes. Hope again rose tn their breasts when they sighted a sail. It proved to be a bark, which passed on with- out seeing their signals of distress. When night again came the seamen made a an on the water-soaked jogs. Capt. Darling did not sleep. He jealously guarded the body of his wife and did not leave it for an instant. Before daylight the sailors discovered that the deck wae wet with dew, and they licked this with their tongues and thus par- tially assuaged the thirst that was consum- ing them. About sunrise a four-masted schooner was Ghe hove to and sent boat to the rescue, I The was Hope, com- regia A wite.

Love will cake deep sympathy with him for the terrible blow which. fell Saturday morning in the death of his eon, Rowland P. Love. The deceased was 19 years of age, and was of the kind which gives a father es- pecial pride. He war unusually bright and had such a manly and ingenious disposti- tion that he waa a general favorite. He graduated from Smith Academy the winner of the gold prize. He went to Yale last September, and there contracted grip, which developed into pneumonia and end: ed. fatally.

ALL PRECEDENTS SEEM OUT OF JOINT IN WALL STREET. NEW PRINCIPLES ESSENTIAL. Heavy Gelling the Chief Feature of Sat- urday’s Market, Coupled With Decrease in Bank Holdings. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. %.—Wall street has found more than once In the career of the current market that its old and valued pre- cedents could no longer be relied upon, and that the only profitable method of proced- ure Was to recognize that new epecula- tive principles must be adopted in a sit- uation without parallel or precedent. That situation without a parallel in the plethora of capital seeking investment, on the one hand, and in the unabated and tremendous current volume of business on the other. In this last respect, while the tron and its allled and dependent industries are etill conepicuously in the lead, the improving tendency is spreading in practically every direction and In the cotton cloths trade notably, which has long been in a depressed condition, a general and pronounced recov- ery is reported. What may be called the investment sit- uation, in short, is not changed, nor will it be finally changed, with present condi- tions and prospects maintained and ful- tilled, until gafe dividend paying stocks have attained a level where their safe re- turns to their holders wii] be 4 per cent and under, according to the credit of the particular security. Keven with the great deveJopment of American trade, finance, and, finally, credit, it is a question whether more time must not elapse before lesser returns than those indicated will be ac- cepted by Investors. Since all the ‘hig’ classed municipal, State and Government securities are now selling on a less than 3 per cent basis, and the best grade railway bonds upon a 3 to 8% per cent basis, the natural process of evolution in the investment market would seem to be the diversion of capital into the reference shares of the roads of estab- ished credit, then into the _ preference shares of the reorganized roads, and wit the course of time into the reference shares of those industrial companies of well demonstrated earning and staying power. It is hardly necessary to say that this process has indeed already set in. None »ut the very wealthy can afford to invest his funds in municipal and State bonds. Such an investment is forbidden at once by the enormous premiums obtaining for thore securities and by the small returns ad. The question for the smaller investor fs to place his money where he can obtain better rates than at the savings bank, and at the same time obtain a fair measure of security. The question, Or at least the first clause of it, has been narrowed for him by operations of speculators and of the larger capitalists in the current bull mar- ket. For purposes of illustration two cyp!i- cal cases may be selected. It seems safe to say that in the lifetime of this genera- tion the preferred stocks of the reorganized Northern and Union Pacific Companies will pay 4 per cent to their holders. At their current prices these stocks net their hold- ers about 5 per cent. A year ago, when their prospects were observed by the specu- lators and capitalists studying them, these stocks sold ae as 65% and 45% respec- tively. Hence what in March of 1 could have been regard as a safé speculation a year later may be classed as a fair in- vestment. The stock list shows a large number of these preference shares or reorganized roads, and it may be noted that in many cases these preferred stocks on agey old bond issues which had to give place to new mortgages in theprocess of rehabilitation. The purpose of these observations is, how- ever, to suggest that when it is said that the supply of investments Is deficient the etock market still furnishes opportunities where, with a minimum of risk, fairly safe chances for investments of a semi-specu- lative class may be utilized. While, as noted, the week has been rather devoid of events of general importance, it has not been lacking in fnterest on that account. There may be cited the remark- able advance in American Tobacco, based on the reported acquisition of the control of a threatening competing concern, and further, the renewed attacks wpon Manhat- tan Railway by the lecal Democratic or- ganization at the behest of Mr. Croker. It is commonly believed that the efforts to — the company’s credit are made in the hope that the contemplated improve- ments will have to be abandoned, in which care the position of the company would unquestionably be critical. It is also be- lieved that the final animus in this extraor- dinarv and disgraceful proceeding may be found fn the stock market attitude of the Tammany Hall leader, whose puppet play in the city departments might readily be called off, were his speculative commitments in Manhattan stock en the opposite side of his broker’s book, Wall street believes these things and as- serts these things. Dewey's request for the Oregon and the known movement of money in and out of the banks this week caused heavy selling for both accounts in the early dealings to- day. In consequence the stock market opened active and heavy, particularily for the rall- way list. The Granger shares. the Pacific stocks and other standard issues showed declines, which extended to 1 point, and during the first hour the market was quite unsettled. In the early dealings there were sharp ad- vances scored in the American Steel and Wire stocks, Tennessee Coal and Tron and Ontario and Western, but these gains were subsequently shaded. After the ifirst hour, however, the market developed great strength under the lead of Burlington & Quincy. The advance in that instance was followed by recoveries in the other Granger shares. A move against the short interest in §6u- gar Refini caused a rapid advance of several points in that stock and induced covering of ehort contracts on their quar- ters of the mark@® Extensive purchases of stocks for foreign account also helped to turn the market upward after the first hour on reports that the bank statement would make a more favorable showing than had been anticipated. These assertions proved to be wholly unfounded. The statement showed the larmest decrease that has been reported since the money movement turned against New York, the amount being over $4,000,000. The actual cash pboldings de- creased $688,000. The banks stil] hold $30,- 835,000 in excess of the lawful requirements. The market closed more heavy than other- wire with prices a shade lower, The last week hae been bare of fevelop- ments of considerable general importance, but {t has witnessed a number of irregu- lar price changes in the stock market.

BROKERS CHARY, TRADES LIGHT Prices Were Steady, With a Bearish Factor in the Wheat Situation ' Because of Beerbohm’s Report. During the week the grain markets showed less strength than was expected, and the sessions were as near featureless as they could be at this season. The brokers were chary and trading in the pit was extremely light. Two elements of uncertainty which tended to check busi- ness were the weather and the lack of def- inite information about shipments from foreign grain-producing countries, The weather was varied enough to keep the keenest speculators guessing. At the beginning of the week it was balmy and there was an outlook that promised an early spring and fine “growing weather.”’ Wheat was reported above ground in many sections and a good crop was con- fidently expected. Then the bliggard came and changed calculations considerably. The great fear of the farmers just now Is that their grain will be frozen in the ground. ‘hey are most alarmed when the ground haws during the day and freezes at night. The constant alternate froat and thaw is considered “‘killing.”” Aiready “doubtful’’ reports have begun to come in from va- rious sections, notably Northern Nebraska, where it is said the crop may be lighter than at first expected. This is the great wheat belt of the West and much depends on its yield, On the other hand the market has re- ceived some strength from reports of pre. dicted rains in Illinois, Indiana and Mis- sourl. News of this kind balanced that from other points and kept the market Steady. In wheat there was little change during the week. The close yesterday was only a fraction in advance of that on last Monday. Corn showed a little more strength, but trading was almost at a standstill. Oats was practically rejected. The few trades made afforded little basis for a market and the closes quoted officially were mostly nominal. A bearish factor in the wheat situation toward the end of the week was Beerbohm’s report on the world’s shipments, which he estimated to have been 8,000,000 bushels @ur- ing the week. The startling feature of his report was that of this amount Russia had shipped 2,000,000 bushels without half try- ing and seemed to still have a big stock on hand. Indian, Danubian and Russian export shipments were also reported larger. World's exports were reported to have been 102,000,000 bushels since July 1, or about 1,000,000 bushels more than during the same time last year. The exports of wheat and flour from the pate papeee eurine the week were 2,200,- bushels an urin h 40ae Fie & the last month The bulis will breathe easier this week. To-morrow John W. Kauffman, the hig chief of the bears, will leave with his family for a winter sojourn in the East. When he will return {s one of the puzzies. Mr. Kauffman never talks to others of his business. ; C.

| RACING THE COMING SEASON? ' The Referee Talks of Gideon, Gerlach, Robinson and Others Mentioned, and Incidentally Scores Mott. At Who will be the chairman of the lL. A. as W. Racing Board during the coming sea- son? The question of the ruler of cycle racing 4s dnteresting more people to-day than it ‘has ever done before on account of the conditions in which he will find it. In former years a man could easily be found to fill the position, for then the work was not 60 arduous, and when a chairman retired one of the members of the board was promoted. Davol served as a member and Gideon. Mott was the exception and he was appointed without any previous expe- rience in dealing with the racing men and trainers, and the experiment was a distinct faflure. No man tried harder to please ev- e than Mott, and no man eGoceeted in diepleasing all better than _ he. @ stested in with the charitable idea that the riders were a much-abused class of h t ists, who were. devoting their time to pleasing an unappreciative public and whom the rigid racing rules ground down to the dust. He immediately amend- ed the rules so that the men would get the best of it and then gave them $5 gold pieces whenever they rode good races. His inex- a see in handling the wily ones led him Pamenore the rights of the public and the Welfare of the sport. If any man has gone out of the office With a poor record, to say the least, it was Mott.

ST, LOUIS DOG SHOW, ONLY THREE MORE DAYS tN | WHICH TO MAKE ENTRIBG, THE WESTERN ~ FANCIERS. They Will Be Splendidly Represented at This Exhibition With Their Hunting and Coursing Dogs. But three more days remain in which to enter dogs for the St. Lovwia Kennel Club’a third annual dog show, which will take place at the Coliseum, March 16 to 18 In- clusive. The premium lists which have been widely distributed by the St. Louts Kennel Club have brought grand returna, as the nar merous entries prove; but, the more the merrier. The officials desire to have dog owners understand that all entries mailed or sent to the dog show office, room M Insurance Bullding, up to midnight of March 1, will bea accepted. The Kennel Club office will be open Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, up to midnight, No dog show ever held in the West has given the promise of being such a success as next month’s event. Independent of an enormous entry list of dogs, the agitation the show has created in social circles as- sures a gathering of the “select swim,”’ where the earliest spring wearing apparel will be given an outing and, as the fashion framers have named bright and gaudy colors to be in vogue, a bright kaleidoscopic intermingling of happy humanity will be a pleasing picture to be looked forward to at the coming show. Some very high-priced dogs, owned by the wealthiest men in the United States, will attract great attention. Many of them, although valued at thousands of dollars, cannot be praised for their beauty. To a pereon not an expert some of the entries will be anything but ne the eye. For instance, there are Dr. ugest’s $5000 bloodhounds. The $000 corded Russian poodle looks like a large bundle of cords. And in the ter- rier classes, the Irish and wire haired fox never ‘won honors for their beauty. Henry Jarrett and J. P. Morgan, two of New York’s wealthiest citizens, will be here with an aggregation of collies-worth a large fortune. Mr. Morgan recently paid $10,000 for four Scotch collies, which will be here. Mr. Morgan is very fond of this breed of dogs and has entered a large number for the St. Louis show, the famous $6000 champion collie, Ruftord Ormond, being among the number, Mr. Jarrett will probably send champion Christopher to St. Louis. Although Chris- topher is quite an old dog, he is still a winner and has been the hero collie of many a bench show. Frank Gould will bring a large kennel of St. Bernards. Included rwill bbe his recent $6000 purchase, Presto and Laura Jean, win- ners at the New York show last week. Gouverneur M. Oarnochan’s celebrated wire haired terrier, Go Bang, will be one of the sensations of the coming show. He cost Mr. Carnochan $2500 and his owner be- lieves him cheap at that price, as he is the chanrpion of champions of wire haired fox terriers. Go Bang was whelped July 10, 1894, bred by J. H. Kelly of Rotherham, near Shef- field, Wngland, and was purchased by George Raper, who sold him to Mr Car- nochan, Go g has a pedigree which en- titles him to be a proud and haughty speci- men of his particular kind. He has won many honors in England, besides sweeping everything before him at the recent New York show. He was first shown at Man- chester, England, where he won in the limit Class. In 139% he won nine ehampionships and is recorded as a winner at 15 kennel club shows. In 1897, he won again at every championship show at which he made his appearance, seven in number. He was also a winner at the Orystal Palace, London Fox Terrier Club, Earl’s Court, Brighton and Birmingham, and many more shows. He is without doubt a crackerjack wire haired fox terrier and will probalbly prove a winner in the open class at the St. uls ow. Western dog fanciers, especially the own- ers of valuable hunting dogs, will form a large section of the exhibit, and the en- tries from the St. Louis Kennel Club’s own friends in this city at present exceeds any- thing ever known in the bench show line. No wonder such local interest is shown when the rivalry of owners of collies alone is taken into consideration. There are over are owners of this type of dogs, and every- = of them believes he has the prize win- There are more Great Danes in St. Louis than many believe, and the Kennel Club has been compelled to make a special local class for this breed. Among the local com- etitors will be Dr. H. L. Wichmann, J. ill Boyd and Mrs. Charlotte Leidener. Grayhounds will be plenty, and this type atways brings forth a red hot entry list in St. Louis.

The National League folks wfll hold their annual schedule meeting in the Fifth Ave- nue Hotel, New York, commencing Tues- Last night no one appeared to know whether the St. Louis Club would be rep- resented at the meeting or not. Late Saturday afternoon Chris Von der Ahe was at the office of nis attorney, Will- jam Kinnerk. He said then: “I have not yet made up my mind as to whether or not I will attend the League meeting. I rather thinx I will send on my proxy to Abell, and get him to vote for me on all important questions.”’ Becker and Muckenfuss were also unde- cided as to just what they would do, but they talked as though they might go on. So when the meeting is called St. Louis may be represented by three persons, and, then, again, this city may only be in evl- dence there by proxy. The meeting is simply held for the adop- tion of the schedule. The one that will un- doubtedly be adopted calls for the opening of the season on April 15 and its closing on Although it is several weeks to the open. ing of the National League season, a call has already been issued by several clubs to their players, and the training will be commenced at once.

The best of the Western three-year-olds are now at Montgomery Park, including Manuel, Kentucky Colonel, W. Overton, The Kentuckian, Onomastus, Sea Lion, Ca- thedral, Ordnung, Donalébain, The Bar- rister, Fausturo, Gir Gatian, May d'Or, Matanza, Our Nellie. Gen. Shafter, Hun- garian, Andes; Cambrian, Leo Planter, Queen of Song, Ed Tipton, Lieber Anton, Jolly Rogers, Exnespie and numerous others. The Tennessee Derby, which will be worth over $7000, will be a closely contested race. E. F. Simms’ The Kentuckian will carry the beSt wishes and money of Kentucky, while John W. Schorr & Son will send Overton efter the prize, and this colt will carry the bulk of the Tennessee money. The friendly rivalry between the two States over racing will make exciting times on Derby day. Last epring when Madden's Plaudit de- feated Schorr’s Lieber Karl at Louisville, pride filled the bosoms of the Kentucky turfmen, and this has caused Tennesseeans to put forth a stronger effort than ever to win the Derby this year. Chas, Patterson is “preping’’ Jolly Rogers for the Crescent City Derby, and The Bar- rister for the Tennessee Derby, and in the hands of so competent a trainer as Patter- son The Barrister is liable to be @ con- tending factor. ‘Leo Planter, Kentucky Colonel and one of Schorr’s colts are also pointed for the Crescent City Derby, and will be seasoned when racing begins here. Albert Franklin has Onomastus in good shape and should this colt have no trouble with his feet while training, he will be a hard horse to deat. Never in the annals of racing in the South were there so many promising 3- year-olds at one track, and from now on the doings of the ‘horses that are here will be interesting to turf followers. About a two-minute clip is the best they are going at present, but the stages of training will be rapid, as trainers imagine the cold spell set them back some. Over 400 horses are stabled here and oth- ers coming in dally, and it will be im- ssible to accommodate all who are anx- ous to race at the coming meeting. In comparing the look of the 3-year-olds Man- uel and Kentucky Colonel outlook the rest, as thev are hig colts compared to the oth- ers. Manuel has the advantage over his stable companion. A couple of mild sensations have been given turfites here lately, one being when ‘l'mbrella Bill’ McGuigan sued John W. Schorr for slander. Last spring Schorr and McGuigan were friendly until McGuigan ran a horse of Schorr’s up in a selling race. Schorr then. in the presence of a large crowd, accused McGuigan of being a thief. and cited an instance where the spring be- fore, at Little Rock, when McGuigan, pre- tending to be friendly, had transferred for a day the colt Lexington Pirate to Harry Stover, to use in runing up Schorr’s horse in a selling race, and pretending not to be in with it. Hence the suit for slander. The second surprise was sprung when Tom Hurns sued E. F. Simms for not get- ting a fatr “divvy”’ of the money obtained | from Jockey Tom ‘Burns for hia release. Hurns claims that Stmms received $6500 and only accounted to him for $3000. MoGuigan and Schorr and Hurns and Simms will furnish much interesting turf gossip when the cases are tried. Algol is certainly a grand looking race horse. He shows the effects of having wintered well, and is playful and docile, but ready to take up the heavyweights that have been assigned him, and do his honest best. John W, Schorr never had a horse in his stable that showed so much im- provement on this 3year-old form as the son of Top GaNant-Equality. As a 3-year- old it was claimed ‘the was a sprinter, faint- hearted and ready to falter, but it was simply due to his handling, and from the thme George Walker took him the horse improved and if he @odes not cut a great big figur@ in the handicap it will be be- cause af accident. SHARKEY AT NEW YORE. He Has Recovered His Health, but Will Rest Up, Anyhow. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NPW YORK, Feb. &.—Thomas Sharkey, the sallor pugilist, arrived in town yester- day from Bridgeport, where he has been giving exhfbitiong with his sparring part- ner, Bob Armstrong. Gharkey, by previous arrangement, closed this theatrical dates temporarily, owing to a severe attack of cheumatiem, and decided to go to Mount Clemens, Mich., to seek relief. Yesterday he did not show any symptoms of the malady; on the contrary, he appeared to be in the best of health. Last Thureday morning when Sharkey got out @f bed ‘he discovered that the pains that were so frequent a few days previous had completely left him, and he says he has not since heen bothered with the malady. it was then too late to arrange for a con- tinuance of his show dates, so he will leave for Mount Clemens to-day, where he will take a two weeks’ rest. He is echeduled to appear in Montreal on March 13. s is Sharkey’a first visit to the city since his match with Fitzsimmons fell through. It was expected that, following his usual method. Gharkey would have some state- memt to make yesterday. but to the sur- rise of all the able seaman had nothing mportant oF semeational to publish to the world.

As to Sharkey, I must say that his heart is in the right place and he certainly is the most willing fighter I ever met. do not consider it his fault that Jeffries is to be Fitzsimmons’ next opponent, but lay it to Tom O'Rourke's lack of foresight.” In the match with Choynski the referee is to be chosen 48 hours before the date of | the contest, which is to be under Marquis of Queensberry rules, break away clean and no hitting in clinches, The fighters will divide % per cent of the gross receipts, the winner taking 65 per cent of their share | and the doser 3% per cent. Jim Corbett must be getting very near | the end of his rope. Just think of him con- sidering an offer of $1000 from a club for a limited round bout with a man like vie Ruhlin. There was a time when Corbett would have laughed at such a pr gpan an. ! but now he is considering it. The Sta Club of Cincinnati has offered Corbett an Ruhlin a $1000 purse to meet in a ten-round bout the latter part of next month or early in April. While the offer is a very good one it bs not likely that it will be accepted by the fighters, as they both feel satisfied that they can get three times that amount for boxing in New York. If Ruhlin beats Joe Goddard at the Lenox Athietic Club and wants to box Corbett there is a good chance that they will Might at the Lenox Club. O'Rourke is willing to offer them @ percenta of the gross receipts, and Corbett will, probably accept it nowing he will make a few thousand dollars out of the battie. O’Rourke says he will take both Gharkey and Dixon to England in May. He wants to pit the feather-weight champion against tar Palmer at the National Sporting Club the «ame week that Sharkey tackles the corpulent Mitchell. Dixon has réceived notice of his trip, and a been in- structedto begin taking light exercise.

This characteristic has made the dinners of the Pike County Colony occasions to be looked forward to | as intellectual oaw‘s. Men come all the way from Bowling | Green and Louisiana. from the banks of | Crooked Creek and Salt River, to meet at the table friends with whom they went to school in Sandy Martin’s schoolhouse half a century ago. They listen to good Speeches and exchange good stories, some of them redolent with the flavor of the Sa- line stream, and go away happy, with re- newed vigor. And so it is old Pike pro- duces centenarians. Last night’s dinner was no exception. True, the set programme was not carried out to the letter. but your true Piker is a natural improvisatore. He revels in the ex- tempore. The guest of honor was ex-United States | Senator John B. Henderson, now of Wash- ington, but one time and a long time, a; resident of Pike County. Senator Henderson's charged with the sentiment of an after dinner talk. It was argumentative from Start to finish, yet Intensely interesting. At its conclusion Col. D. P. Dyer, the toastmaster, whose views were not those speech was not EX-GOV, CHARLES P. JOHNSON, (A Piker.) of the speaker, pronounced it the best argument yet made against imperial ex- pansion tn the Philippines. Senator Henderson's toast was “Our Na- tion, State and Country.”’ His opening words riveted attention. He said: “We have come upon dangerous and evil times and are departing from the doctrine of our fathers.”’ He reveiwed the many claims to contigu- ous territory made by various States in early times, and showed that each case the courts ruled that territory must not be added unless its inhabitants: were to be destined for the privilege of citizenship. “It was ruled without exception,’ he said. ‘“‘That such annexation of territory was dangerous when the people in it were not to be clothed in the panoply of Amer- ican freedom.”’ He reviewed the Lousiana Purchase, Mexican and Gadsden purchase treaties and contrasted them with, the recently signed Spanish treaty, showing how the lat- ter departed from all precedent in failing Tol, VIRGIL RULE. (Another Piker.) to grant the Filipinos civil and political in- qence, ar cacaeri of his argument he quoted a nunrber of legai opinions, among them one by Judge Cooley, to the effect that annexed territory could only be taken in trust for States to be created and to become a part Inited States. yg Bm from Webster, he said: “Arbi- trary Governments may have territories as colonies, but .we can do no such thing. They must be of us or they must be strangers.” ‘The United States,” said Senator Hen- derson, ‘‘must include ‘all territory over which our Government extends. Having extended our Government over Porto Rico and the Philippines, thelr inhabitants should be made eligible to citizenship. There should be no open door of commerce, The tariff and excise laws should be the same as in the United States, : ‘The men who signed the Spanish treaty and the Government which ratified it have departed from the traditions of 100 years which have always guaranteed life, prop- . _ - ~ —— ae we ee oe - ened The only sensible the magic of feels life-giving influence.

Such a course would violate every pledge made at the outset of the Spanish war. The Cubans and Filipinos alike had been fighting for liberty and both had been sup- plied with arms by the United States and both had been assured assistance. The! United States, through its Congress, had ' éaid: “The Cubans are and of a right ought to be free and independent. Commodore Dewey had sent a message stating that the 3,000,000 inhabitants of the island of Luzon would make good citizens and were as worthy of freedom as the Cubans, and he knew both nations well.’’ Commodore Dewey, according to Senator Henderson, sent a second telegram reit- erating this statement. He told of how the inhabitants of a Phil- ippine colony at Singapore waited on Consul Pratt, the United States representative at that place, and how Mr. Pratt handed their leader a United States flag and promised them assistance in their fight for liberty, and how Mr. Pratt did arrange for and accomplish the junction of the forces of Aguinaldo and Dewey. He quoted also from a speech made by Peace Commissioner George Gray, after the signing of the treaty, in which he said {it was not the purpose of the treaty to exclude the Fil- ipinos from citizenship. In view of all this, he said, it would be a crime to condemn them to eternal colonial vassalage. It would be death to any country to lose all sense of gratitude in victory. No nation, he said, was strong enough to bear up un- der a burden of perfidy. He quoted the “McKinley” resolution of the Senate, which states the Philippines would be governed, not to the best interests of the governed, but ‘of the people of the United States and of the Philippines.” “Yet,” he gaid, ‘“‘Dewey says these people are docile, kind and intelligent, all lies to the contrary notwithstanding.”’ “T am an expansionist,”’ said the speaker, “but this is not expansion. It is imperial- ism, greed, violence, poverty, slavery, death; another'name of tyranny, resistance to which is obedience to God. “Tf the flag ceases to be an emblem of liberty, let it be hauled down. There must be only one flag and wherever it floats it must float over the land of the free and the home of the brave. ‘‘A morning paper asks ‘if we don’t want the Philippines what will we do with them?’ “T say take Manila as a coaling station, guarantee the Philippines their Hberty, they to return to us the $20,000,000 we paid Spain as indemnity for the islands. God never made a nation good enough to gov- ern another.” The Judiciary was to have been responded to by Judge William H. Biggs. He was unable to attend, as were also Matt WU. Rey- nolds and Waller Edwards, who were to have responded to toasts of the Lousiana Purchase and the Press Chairman Major of the Lexow Commit- tee responded to the toast ““The Future of Ptke,” in place of R. A. Campbell. W. H..Clopton spoke on behalf of the Alabama Society, and there were a number of impromptu speeches. "BOUT" ATA SMOKER —— — JEFFERSON DEMOCRATS SAW A GLOVE CONTEST. There was a spirited time at the Jefferson Club smoker last night. The shade of the great Democrat looked down from an easel and beheld a four-round boxing bout, against the protest of Sterling P. Bond. Mr. Bond was like Byron's Julia, who, “saying would ne'er consent, con- sented.”” When his protest was overruled and cried down, he took the sergeant-at- arms’ seat inthe rear of the hall and lovked on and saw the show and smiled “just like folks.”’ It was advertised that Senator Frank Farris of Steeleville, Mo., would speak, but from all accounts he never got beyond the confines of the Laciede Hotel. Police Com- missioner Harry Hawes, president of the club, fresh from the Governor's ball at Jefrerson City, peered through the ciouds of smoke which aad accumulated by 9 o'clock and called on John A. Lee, chalire man of the Democratic City CentralCom- mittee, for a few remarks. The power of the Lee eloquence not onty dissipated the smoke, but put everybody in a good humor and did much to promote that harmony for which the club has been struggiing for many days. M:. Lee was folloW@l by several other speakers, incfoding Atiorney CC. F. Cun- nnetam; but Senatog Farris came not. Tnen followed a few songs and much speculation as to the whereabouts of Sen- ator Farris; but no Farris appeared. Finally President Hawes gave way to French Nelson, chairman of the House Committee, who announced that the com- mittee had arranged a little bout between Mike ‘Mooney and Al Newton for the edifi- cation of the members. It was to be a fr.endly and’ harmices affair of four rounds with eigtht-ounce gloves. That was when Mr. Bond got tn his work. He sprang to bis feet to protest. What! Should the Jefferson Club and the Demo- cratic party be disgraced by such an un- holy affair? ®Sheuld the floor of Jefferson Clab Hall pe aes in the blood of human bet sha EME 2 Re BBO CR TOS ET RES, Sak ROE OL 2: ORES Boogher argued that Mr. Bond was not only out of order, but that he had been misled, misinformed and deceived as to the character of the entertainment to be given, or else his timorous soul recoiled at the thought of what might happen if—— But still Bond protested. He wanted to argue the matter with the chairman. Boo- gher, disgusted, left the room, Dr. Schurck called for action on his motion. There was no second, but a general cry to bring on the gladiators. Mr. Bond subsided when he saw the crowd was against him, the hall was cleared and the muscular Mooney was ushered in after a piece of clever dub swinging by the tall Newton. They donned the mitts, Mike Kinney took his place as timekeeper and ‘Mooney sailed in for a broadside. Several effective punches swere landed by the little Triehman, and Newton jabbed some of the wind out of his opponent, but they did not get warmed up until the last round, Mooney was getting tired, but he was a stayer, and he pushed Newton around in a manner that was ludicrous, in spite of the heavy jabs he got in the neck. And Mr. Bond did nothing but smile. And everybody saw him and emiled the more, There was no blood; only smoke. Sheep-shearing is done by machinery in Australia.

Dr. Robert Edward Wilson. | OTL disturbance has come to be re- S garded as the cause of malarial fever more often than is just or true. This is especially so in the spring, when streets a@re being graded and sewers repaired and foundations being laid for new buildings. During the construction of railroads there frequently is an outbreak of malarial fever. This is no doubt due to interference with the subsoil drainage, and not to soil dis- turbance. Instances are cited of outbreaks of malarial fever in new agricultural col- onies. These are explained by the following con- ditions: Defective food, less refreshing sleep, exposure and, more directly, the vicissitudes of climate, to which the ris- ing colony is exposed. I claim there is not sufficient evidence to show that malarial fever has been caused by specific poison released and brought in- to evidence by the breaking up of the soil. CONJUNCTIVITIS. By Dr Frederick L. Deck. GRBAT many cases have came re- cently under my observation closely resembling the “pink eye,”’ which was epidemic in St. Louis two years ago just after the dog show, and which was supposed to have been contracted there. Thig is a form of acute conjunctivitis or inflamation of the mucous lining of the eyeball and eye lids. The simple instilla- tion of a weak solution of sulphate of zinc, one grain to the ounce of pure water, cures this affection in a few days. Con- junctivitis, however, may be due to an acute cold in the head, la grippe, or what is more common, especially in the chronic form, through eye-strain. The use of eye washes in this condition affords but tem- porary relief if any. The only means of effectual relief lies in the continuous use of glasses adjusted so as to correct the error ‘ of vision which the eye is continually strain- ing itself to overcome, and which is the real cause of the trouble. This will relieve the strain. The strain being relieved, the cause is eliminated which produced and maintained the conjunctivitis. The “pink- eye’ appearance subsides, the eyes no longer water and the accompanying persistent headaches are cured. If ahis is not at- tended to the eyesight may be irretrievably ‘{mpaired, if not eventually lost. PIN BRIDGE DENTAL WORK. By Dr. Thomas H. Shekleton. A NEW method of doing bridge work is being introduced here with much suc. cess. It is costly and therefore is not popular. Results are more certain, however, and it isan improvement over old methods. In the pin bridge the two teeth nearest the point where the artificial teeth are to be inserted are used as a foundation on which to rest the bridge. Back of these two teeth a hole is drilled, the nerve ex- tracted and this hole partly filled with ce- ment, after the teeth have been devitalized. Into this cement are sunk the platinum braces of the bridge. Now over the top of these teeth gold caps are fitted, the caps being part of-the bridge proper. These eaps fit so tightly that no particles of food can wedge between to work destruc- tion. In some bridge wgrk instead of putting in these gold caps, dentists nick the two teeth next to the place where false teeth are to be.swung and then with forceps break off the good teeth. Into these are drilled holes in which to fasten the bridge. Under the pin bridge scheme these holes are drilled tn the back of the teeth and their usefulness is not impaired. The en- tire job must’ be done in pure gold and platinum and is therefore expensive, but it is more enduring. Vy ae al CIGARETTES AND TEETH. By W. L. Pruett, D. M. D.

Fr one « mother should teach her little one to show its tongue as soon as it is old enough to know where and whata tongue is. Few mothers realize how import- anf this is. So often have physicians called lieve it were superfluous to do so again, yet tice, who give me considerable trouble in that respect. Sometimes the tongue is to that most exhausted subject of clS-/| be geen, sometimes the throat is to be ex- | amined, and every effort to get a look at arette smoking, and the effect of it on the teeth. It has been stated that the only effect noticed by dentists is the stain which comes from the paper of the cirgarette, which is not injurious to the teeth. The statement is entirely too mild and modified too much to be palmed off on the general public as the universal opinion of the dengists. I dc not reiterate this as a mouthpiece to the dental profession, but as a member. My opinion is through study and closes observation that the continued use of cigarettes will give teeth a yel- lowish brown color that cannot be remov- ed, Such as nitrates, phosphates, potash and lime, and consequently the combustion of the tobacco of cigarettes. In my opinion the presence of the paper of a cigarette is of minor importance. ‘I'he pipe or cigar gives virtually the same dis- coloration. Last, but Snot least, the inveterate and excessive smoking not only discolors the teeth, but frequently causes stomatitis and forms frequent complications of pharyin- geal catarrh, and, less frequently, rhinitis, due to direct propagation of iniammation from the neighboring parts. Smoke does not penetrate the -lungs without an extra effort. In ordinary smoking the smoke is drawn back to soft palate only. In elim- inating it through the nose the larynx is closed by the epiglottis and smoke is forc- ed back into the posterior noses by fhe tongue and the contraction of the dia- phragm forces the air out of the lungs which opens the epiglottis and expels the smoke through the nose. The lungs are slightly affected, otherwise than through the general system. K OTARTED BY ol HE war on consumption begun in the if Sunday Post-Dispatch has spread. Boston, New York and Chicago have taken it up. The Sunday Post-Dispatch experts showed the awful ravages of this disease and how easily it may be pre- vented. One-third of the deaths occurring be- tween the ages of 15 and 60 years are caused by tuberculosis. Osler says that there are 1,200,000 Americans afflicted by this disease. Prof. Leyden says there are in Germany alone 1,300,000 persons who are at all times suffering from tuberculosis. A hospital for such persons is to be built in Boston, another in NeW York, and one _has actually been begun in Chicago. St. Louis is the large city in which, notwitih- Standing the warnings of physicians, noth- ing has been done. Straus is authority for that tuberculosis is the least contagious of the germ diseases. At the same time the influences of civilization make for its Gissemination. The death rate from it in crowded cities is far greater to population than it is in country districts. In Berlin, 4500 persons die every year from tubercu- losis; in Paris, 4000 lives are sacrificed to it, while in Chicago 2500 victims are num- bered. The awful significance of these figures is better understood when it is pointed out, as does Bertillon, that in each 1000 deaths from tuberculosis, 760 out of the number are between the ages of 20 and 60 years—the bread-winners and the home-makers of the world. ‘The. most common conveyances for the bacilli of tuberculosis are dust particles in the air, and the milk from cows suffering With the disease.

Dr. Arthur E. Mink of” 333 Lucas av., St. Louis, describes the disease, which is the most prevalent fata] affliction at the present time, for readers of the Sun- day Post-Dispatch: “Spinal meningitis exists in several types, of varying degrees of danger. That with which we have to deal because of its prevalence now is contagious cerebro- spinal. meningitis, the most virulent of all the types and the only one of them which is contagious. It is what is known as spotted fever, and there have been epi- demics of it in Europe and America, “The disease is an inflammation of the arteries of the brain and the spine, known as the cerebro-spinal meninges. It begins at the base of the brain, the cerebrum, and it Is from this it gets its name, “The disease is most prevalent in spring and winter, usually appearing at this time of the year. It is now pretty well agreed among medical men that its bacillus is the same as that of pneumonia. The two are most prevalent at the same time of the year, and they are the usual followers of relapses of the grip. “Contagious cerebro-spinal meningitis is almost, if not quite, the most terrible of diseases. Its fatalities are seemingly lim- ited only by the degree of its prevalence. In some of the epidemics its fatalities have been as high as 75 per cent, and it is as quick as it is deadly, killing children in from two to three days and adults within three or four. “Its high percentage of fatalities, too, is not the full measure of its terrible de- structive powers. If it cannot kill it will leave its impress in’ blindness, deafness, idiocy, an affection of the voice, or some- thing equally distressing. ‘The disease is not limited to certain latitudes.

The latter prefer spiral lines on the nose and cheeks. Among the Oy- ampis the whole body is painted red, with black spots, suggesting the hide of a jagu- ar, while the women draw three or four fine black lines on a red ground across the nose and cheekbones below the eyes. The juice of the lana fruit is used for this purpose. The unripe fruit is chewed and the juice ejected into a calabash. The painting is executed with the green juice on the naked body by means of a little pad of cotton. After 10 or 12 hours it comes out clear ina dark violet. The juice bites the skin sufficiently to preserve the de- sign for eight or 10 days, in spite of wash- ing. Yellow ochre is also popular and the giaring orange juice of the annatto.

It is not at all necessary to drink it to produce intoxication, as a man can be made drunk without a drop of it ever entering his stomach. Its main action is upon the nerve cells of the upper or ideational centers, which can be reached through the nerves of smell and touch. I have intoxicated people with alcohol baths, by allowing them to tnhale alechol fumes; by putting warm lquor Into their ears, and by bathing their eyes with warm diluted alcohol, gradually increasing its strength. I have made a wild deer, caught in a trap, a regular old toper. He would cry for whisky and refuse food. Alcghol expands, stimulates and excites the upper or ideational centers of the brain and gives them a sudden, irregular action. The physiological (undisputed) law is that a@ nerve calls for and takes nourishment tn Preportion to the amount of labor it per- forms, Hence we see when a beginner takes a fair draught of whisky that his brain is quickly aroused into activity. He thinks quickly, and, as the upper centers send out their reflex action, Mas eyes brighten, his hearing, taste and sme!l be- come acute, “the movements of his limbs are springy.

The preparation, for which I furnish the public formula, will do this, because cinchona is a cumulative drug, requiring a decrease of dose or less frequent doses. | The kind of bark used is the pure red cinchona, that from the small branches— about as thick as an ordinary lead pencil- known as quill bark. It ts due to the anti-periodic properties In red cinchona that drunkenness is cured by it.

I am 18 and every once in a while fever blisters come on my lips which feel very unpleasant. If you know any remedy will you elso publish it. ’ M. D. @, You should not use the bleach oftener than once in three or four weeks, If it is used carefully and properly, it will do the hair no harm, Do not be persuaded to use ammonia in connection with it. Try taking a half-teaspoonful of sulphate of soda in a half-glass of water as hot as you can drink it on arising in the morn- ing and just before retiring. I think the fever blisters will disappear under this treatment. GRAY HAIR, Is there any remedy for changing gray hair to ite natural co'or. I am only 22 years of age and my bair, which is very thick and curly, is turning gray. MAUD. There is no such thing, In my opinion, as restoring hair to its natural color after it has turned gray. You will have to use a stain or dye. DRY HAIR AND CORNS, Please let me know of something good for the hair and for a corn, My hair is thin and dry and will not grow, although my head seems to be in good condition. The corn on the sole of my foot is very sore. MRS. J. BEB. K. For the corn try extract of cannabis Indica, one-half dram; salicylic acid, one dram; collodion, four drams, Apply with a camel's hair pencil to the corn every night before going to bed. For the hair: Cologne, eight ounces; tincture of cantharides, one ounce; oil of English lavender, oil of rosemary, one- half dram each. Apply to the rcots of the hair once or twice a day. It is post- tively necessary that the scalp should be kept clean. Shampoo at least once a week. Apply every night. MOLE REMOVAL, _I have’ been reading your hints upon beauty for some time. Do you know of anything to remove @ very small mole from the face? D. B, Any physician of moderate skill can re- move the mole by electricity. You can take it yourself by use of the lunar caustic pencil, but the caustic sometimes leaves @ small scar. Plectrolysis will leave no scar and should not be expensive or pain- ful. OILY SKIN, What shall I do for an oily skin? The only part that troubles me is my face, which is shiny, I have tried ta'’cum powder and java rice, but neither does any good. Please give me a harm- less remedy and oblige. M. L. A. Try ‘the following: Dried rose leaves, one ounce; white wine vinegar, one-half pint; rose water, one-half pint; pour the vinegar upon the rose leaves and let it stand for a week, Then strain and add the rosowater, throwing the leaves away, The lotion may be used either pure or dl- luted with water, as more agreeable. If the olliness of the skin is excessive try the following: Sulphate of zinc, two grains; compound tincture of lavender, eight drops; distilled water, one ounce; mix. Apply once or twice dally. White wax, 1 ounce; spermacet!, 1 ounce; lanoline, 2 ounces; sweet almond oll, 4 ounces; cocoanut oll, 2 ounces; tincture of benzoin, 30 drops; orange flower water, 2 ounces.

I am a young man of 80 and my face is very thin and my cheeks and eyes are sunken. Could you tell me of anything that will fill them out? I may say that I have tried your skin food: I bave @lso a Faradic battery, but neither seems to have the required effect. I am otherwise in good health. GEORGE N., Skin food alone would have very little effect.

LOUTS women of fashion have adopted the short rainy-day skirt as a part of their walking costume. It may be seen any day on the streets and boulevards. Boston originated the idea. New York advocated it. Neither adopted it. In St. Louis and Chicago it has adopted with such unanimity that dealers been in and makers of skirts cannot supply the demand. St. Louis women say: This is the thing we long have sought, And mourned because we found it not. It is convenient, sensible, labor-saving, time-economizing, pretty. The fashionable house skirt which has a Gemitrain, made the ehort skirt for the trouble-averting and The long skirt drags and becomes soiled, while the short skirt never becomes the dottom. The short skirt, not having to be held up, gives freedom to the hands. The feet cannot become entangled in the short skirt and h‘nder rapid walking. It cannot be caught under the feet when muddy or draggled around climbing stairs. Tt is an excellent thing for women who are out of doors a great deal. The walking skirt is made of golf su'‘t- ing, a heavy reversible material. On one eide it is a mixed goods of black, blue, brown or tan; while the other side is a Scotch plaid. The skirt is made so that it can be worn with either side out. For golf, the plaid side may be worn; for skating or the street, the plain side. The walking skirt is made in the same style as all the other skirts this season, the only difference being in length. § It should be from two and one-half to four inches-off the ground. The length that one woman can wear would not do for another at all. Twelve rows of machine stitching finish the skirt at the bottom. Each seam is double stitched, in tailor fashion. These skirts are sold for $10,- $12.75 or $15 each. They are durable and always look ‘well, owing to the fact that only the best of goods is used:in the making of them. Among the St. Louis women who wear the short skirt are: Mrs. Zach Tinker of 3533 Longfellow bl. Mre. W. H. Thornburgh of 23 Portland pl. Mrs. C. W. Scudder of 75 Vandeventer pl.

To be sure, Emperor Willlam'’s mustache costs him forty times as much daily as does the ‘average man’s. Herr Haby, a Berlin barber, visits the Imperial palace every day and grooms the imperial mustache at an imperial price. The Emperor is so highly pleased with his work that ‘he has bestowed upon Herr Haby the title of ‘“‘Hof-friseur,”’ or court barber, and the lucky Haby has on the outside of his shop a big sign with these words: ‘““Haby, Hof-friseur Siener Ma- jestaet des Kaisers."’ As a result his shop | been as‘big a city as St. Louis.

Besides mastering the science of govern- ment, war, navigation, theology, poetry, painting, sculpture and dramatic criticism, the Emperor has devoted much time to the cultivation of whiskers.

For 1900 years after that there ts a blank, except for an inscription on the monument of Angora, which says that 4 years after Christ there were 330,000 plebians in Rome. Accepting this as the truth, there must have been at that time some 430,000 people in the city, for a com- munity cannot well sustain more than 10 per cent of aristocracy or more than 15 per cent of slaves. Upon this basis of reasoning there must have been tn Rome at that time some 4,00 p‘/ricians and 64,000 slaves. “I was confident before I began my work that Rome was never #06 large a cily as we have supposed.

Mr. Clews, mond and tied down to the law, had ever displayed a weakness for the life of the soldier, and when in 1846 the Mexican War broke out he enlisted as a private, won his commission and returned *o Ri: hmond, wearing the Captain's epaulets. lt was some years later when, as a gray- haired, thoughtful man of 60, he began the practice of law in Bpringfleld, where Abra- ham Lincoln then lived.

The boys and the girls might laugh at them and call them old fools—"“Old Abe” himscelf might make a few of his inimitable jokes at their ex- pense—but for this they did not care. It is probable that they would then have mar- ried and settled down into a peaceful old aze had not the firing on Fort Sumter end- ed their plans and disrupted all human things in this land. The old campaign fever caught Clews and held him fast. He must go out, he sald, and by and by at the head of his company he rode away to join the Army of the Poto- mac. “If we were bog and gir! instead of old man and miidle-aged woman I could not love you half as well as I do,” he eaid to her at parting. “I ehall carry your image in my heart through the war If | am live when the Union is saved I will come back to you.” Mr. Clews was with Gens.

Fractious, dis- obedient pupils are becoming scarce. ‘I'he mumber of cases of tardiness has been re- duced. The boys have quit cutting gheir Mames in the furniture and picking the mortar out of the walis. Altogether, the troubles of Principal John E. Miller and the teachers have been greatly lessened. The object of the club js to discourage tardiness, disobedience and the damaging of school property. Principal Miller said: “The object of the organization is to promote discipline; also to make the chil- | dren understand the fact which all must learn, that each is responsible for his in- dividual actions. It is not intended that they shall become spies or talebearers, but judges of themselves and each other. “Many little infractions of school reg- MUlations occur around the building, but the pupils either do not think it honorable to tell what they see or are afraid to do so. ‘ “When a boy is first sent to school he comes with the purpose of telling about everything he sees done that is wrong. ‘For the first few days he tells; then the teacher tires of it and forbids the pupil to report the misconduct of another. “It is the same in many homes; in most of them, I should say. The parent either does not like to be bothered or else feara that his child, through watchfulness of others, may become a spy and talebearer. “We have it arranged that pupils report offenses to a monitor, who keeps account of them and reports to the principal when he considers the case serious. “In No, 1, the highest room, there is a regular court,sand cases are tried by jury. When charges have been preferred the court is ordered to convene and the pupil must bear his sentence, whatever it is, which is regulated by rules formulated by the members of the school. “This plan, which is in vogue in Chi- cago, was proposed to the pupils last No- vember. It was put to a vote and car- ried. “The different rooms accepted tne plan one at a time and each elected a monitor. “No. 1 of the Grammar School was the first to adopt the plan. The officer who acts a monitor, after the old Roman way, is called a tribune, There is also a vice- fribune. « “The members of the organization are ‘ealled citizens. 4 “This part of the plan in unique. At the beginning one-half of the pupils are chosen as citizens. At the first of each month a hew citizen is elected from the remaining ‘pupils. F “The citizen has privileges which no Other pupil has, such as entering the room efore school time and leaving his seat ‘to Speak to another without askjng per- mission. " “The tribune is elected at the first of each month. He receives reports concern- ing offenses, sees that the pupils are in Hine when the bell rings and warns of- fenders. _“In Room 1 the tribune also has power of judge. “This room has a court, in which all of-, fenders are tried by the tribune. ~ “The accused selects three jurors and the judge three. The clerk of the court @cts as prosecuting attorney and the pris- oner may defend himself or choose a ‘law- yer’ to act for him. ***Afier the arguments have been heard the case is given to the jury, and the judge passes sentence, unless there is a verdict of acquittal. “The punishment consists of taking away from a-culprit the rights of a citizen for such length of time as the jury may ‘decide. “Citizens are distinguished from the Other pupils by a lapel button having on it.a picture of the school house. When giligenship taken away from a_ pupil fhe button is removed and is not returned Until the expiration of his sentence. .» When the organization was started in foom 1 the following rules were formu- lated by the citizens: Pek 1. No citizen can have his privileges taken away permanentiy, unless he has previously forfeited them for a term of two weeks. 2. The tribune shall be the judge of the Pourt. The tribune will act as prosecuting ‘Sttorney, or as tribune, in case of the ab- sence of that officer. In that event the clerk will take place of vice- tribune. - B. If the name of a pupil is reported to the tribune three times in one day, the tribune must imnoart that fact to the prin- cipa’. If a name is reported three times a day for one week the siloniar must be tried by court. . 4. Disobedience to the tribune when he is acting in this official capacity is an of- fense and must be tried by court. d the is the the “Pupils naturally desire to retain their privileges and are consequently careful of their conduct. The one they are partic- Wlarly anxious to retain is that of re- Maining indoors during the recess period and being permitted to leave 15 minutes €aflier in the evening.” PRIZES FOR PUZZLES HD $10 first prize and the 15 $1 sec- ond prizes offered for the best trac- ings of hidden persons on the prige puasie pictifres printed in the Sunday Post- Dispatch Feb. 12, were awarded to the folowing persons: First prize, $10, won by Blanche I.

These people came to the city upon,in- Vitation of the St. Louis Interstate Mer- chants’ Association, which offers them the inducement of cheap railroad trans- portation, and the office of the associa- tion at 704 Washington av. has been thoroughly visited during the week. C. A. Singer, assistant secretary of the as- sociation, has assisted with the enter- tainment of the visitors. He says: “This is going to be the greatest year in commercial circles St. Louis has ever known. This year we shall have it proven that St. Louis is the center of the great- est commercial territory in the world. It includes more than half the States and much of Mexico. It reaches from Cen- tral Chio to the far-away Sierra Ne- vada; to the east limits of Kentucky and Tennessee and into Georgia; to the Gulf and through Mexico, end from North Dakota to the Gulf of €alifornia. If this vast expanse of country was a des- ert land, St. Louis’ commercial relations with it would be an empty honor: but inasmuch as it is a territory rich in all that enriches a country, the honor is as distinctive as it is undisputed. “The commercial territory of St. Louis “It is the good fortune of St. Louis that her merchants have chosen to make her commercial territory larger than that of any other city on earth.”’ tion was organized by the merchants of St. Louis in 1897. The organization and tinity in effort became necessary because of similar and aggressive commercial in- stitutions in Chicago and New York. “The association offered the merchant specitic inducements to come to St. Louis to do his buying. Yt offered him a one and one-fifth fare for the trip to the city and return. The /first year, 1897, 1400 merchants availed themselves of the proffered opportunity and came to St. Louis. They were here in the spring and the autumn, and their purchases aver- aged fully $5500. They gave the whole- sale houses of St. Louis the biggest trade they had ever had, and the terri- tory into which St. Louis distributed goods that year was extended hundreds of miles. Merchants who had been go- ing to Chicago and New York came, and they learned what it was so necessary to the prosperity of St. Louis they should know—that there are no greater or bet- ter stocks than those which the whole- sale houses of St. Louis carry. “The next year the registration of vis- iting merchants upon the association books increased to more than 1900 and the business of the merchants was pro- portionately increased. “This spring the association is giving four merchants’ excursions to St. Louis. The first of these has just ended. It be- gan Feb. 11 and ended last Wednesday. Seven hundred merchants came to the city and they purchased stocks worth “more than a million and a half dollars. “Last fall we brought to St. Louis 400 merchants who had never traded with increases* every year. Its advance ig not rapid, but it is constant, and with- in the last few years the average in- crease has been fully 5 per cent. The city is destined, our merchants are sure, to become the greatest of all com- mercial distributing points. It is in the center of the Mississippi Valley and in the edge of the South, the West and the great Southwest, and these portions of the country are to be more fully devel- oped and more densely populated. “It is impossible to convey an ade- quate idea of the immensity of the wholesale business of St. Louis. It has grown until now it is one of the most dise- t'nctive triumphs ofthecity. The big New York housesand the aggressive Chicago merchants had funfor years in territory which should have belonged to St. Lonis, but there is a new condition of things now, and«they will be fortunate if the St. Louis merchants, organized and working together as they are, do not se- cure more than their own. There are not many parts of the United States which are not as near or nearer St. Louis than either of the other chief distributing points, and the merchant will trade at the nearest city which has what he wants. There is nothing in the big stocks of New York and Chicago these last few years that cannot also be found in the wholesale houses of St. Louis.” al Chang, the famous Chinese made a colossal fortune in Europe and the United 7 feet 11 inches tall, and Col.

I was of ordinary size until between 9 and 10 years of age, when I began to grow, and when I was 10 years ofd I was 6 feet 9 inches tall. Then my troubles began. I went te school, but there was no desk high enough to accommodate me, and I couldn't squees into the seats. My father had to build a seat and desk for me. These ¢ventually became too small, or rather, I became too big for them, and larger ones had to be provided. The girls of my own age shunned me because of my size. My tastes were the same as theirs; I loved dolis and scrap books, and it was as much of a delight to me to make mud pies as it was to them, The older girlie avoided me, too, because my tastes were dissimilar to theirs, Beaux, love letters and the like did not interest me, and they did not want to play ‘dollies’ nor ‘keep house,’ so I was a pretty lonely ‘little’ girl. As I grew older I grew bigger year by year—and my troubles grew. The blackboard in the village school was too low for me to ‘do my sums’ on comforta- bly. When I called on nfy friends there were no chairs large enough for me to sit on, and I was out of place, apparently, ev- erywhere. “When I began to travel new troubles came. I couldn’t get into the berth of an ordinary sleeping car, and had to travel day and night in an ordinary coach, The rooms of the hotels have always been @ torment to mé, ‘Where I am known I always arrange te stop at a certain hotel, and especial prepa- rations are,made for me.

The South and Central West were ours by all geographical ad- vantages, and we had held them safe. Last year St. Louis goods went into Georgia, a new territory, in great quan- tities, and Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala- bama, Mississippi and Louisiana became fixed St. Louis commercial territory. Our east boundary does not go beyond Cen- tral Ohio. Of course, we sell goods still further East, but not in considerable quantities. So, too, do St. Louis goods go all over the Pacific Slope, for San Francisco, as New Orleans, is close con- fined by the growing trade of St. Louis. “The wholesale business of St. Louis last year was enormous. In shoes alone the sales amounted to $38,000,000. In dry goods they were but three millions less, and in hardware they were over twelve millions, a single house doing a business amounting to more than $9,000,000. The wholesale grocers of St. Louis shipped last year goods worth $60,000,000.

RS. MINNETTE SLAYBACK CAR- PPR of 4604 Morgan st., St. Louls, is @ carpenter. She is probably the only woman carpenter in the United Btates. Besides this she js a mother, a housekeeper, a portrait painter, a water color artist and a master of pyrography, or wood carving by means of heated in- struments. It was in connection with this work that she became a carpenter. There were two reasons for this step. A first-class carpenter who could spare the time to the particular work she desired could not always be found. Also, she de- cided that she cou!d learn to do the work with less trouble than she could explain it to another. Accordingly, in 1897, she applied at the Manual Training School and was admitted to the class in carpentering. So great was her enthusiasm, and so assiduously did she apply herself, that she was graduated at the head of the class, having the satisfac- tion, among other things, of outstripping her brother in the race for supremacy. Mrs. Carper said: “I became interested in pyrography in 1889.

I complield and decorated a p'ano bench, the figures being Art greeting Music, with several smaller designs. These.I sent in competition for a rr'ze. “This was my first serious disappoint- ment.

The Americans are said to be well armed and enthusiastic and in Nica- Tagua they are known as the Rough Rid- ers. Reyes has armed the Indians of the Mosquito Coast and they constitute a for. midatde part of his army. ‘President Zelaya is said to have pro- ¥Voked the revolution with his villainy. It fs alleged that he has levied outrageous taxes upon the people of the east coast and that recently he has summoned before him great numbers of the rich men of the eourmtry, declared them enemies of the Re- @ublic and fined them in sums often cover- a ing their wealth. If the department fiscal agents failed to collect the fine the un- fortunates were locked in chains and im- prisoned without food or water until the fines were paid. Squier, whose publications of Nicaragua and its people are among the best that have been written, says: “The Republic of Nicaragua is as large as the States of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. The geo- graphical] and topographical features of the country are equally remarkable and inter- esting. It is an epitome of all other coun- tries and climates of the globe. High moun- tain ranges, isolated volcanic peaks, ele- vated table lands, deep valleys, broad and fertile plains and extensive alluvions are found grouped together, relieved by large and beautiful lakes and majestic rivers, the whole teeming with animal and vege- table life and possessing every variety of climate, from torrid heat to the cool @nd bracing temperature of an eternal ing. The great chain of the Cordilleras , as in South America, runs close along the Pacific Coast, but in places is inter- rupted and assumes the form of detached ranges and isolated elevations, of groups or knots of hills, between which the streams of the interior wind their way to the oceans. Were it not for the peculiar configuration of Nicaragua it would be hot- ter than the climate of the West Indies, A@ it is, the climate of the coast is near- Clara, Axusco, Momotombo, Momobacho, Ometepec, Madeira, Oros! and Abogado, with many’ others, are prominent land- marks and form remarkable features in the landscape. “Lake Managua is a beautiful sheet of water. It is 60 miles long and 3 wide and ranges from 10 to 15 and even 40 fathoms in depth. The scenery which borders it is unsurpassed in beauty and grandeur. Upon the northern and eastern shore, lift- ing their blue, rugged peaks one above the other, are the mountains of Matagalpa, merging into those of Segovia. Upon the south and west are broad and fertile slopes and level plains covered with luxu- riamt verdure and of almost unlimited pro- ductiveness, The volcano of Momotombo, like a giant warder, stands out boldly into the lake, its bare and blackened summit, NICARAGUAN WATER CARRIER. fe ny rs baat ae , 4 o~ -“ aa ~~ se a * al . tt peu AA Wa Alt Hil Hy : yy) NATIVE NICARAGUAN MAN AND WOMAN. work of art, covered with a dense for- est, under the shadows and within the deep recesses of which, frayed by the storms of ages, stand the rude and frowning statues of the gods of aboriginal superst!- tion, raised there long before human feet trod the gsofl of America and to which the mind of the Christianized Indian stlil reverts with a mysterious reverence. “Lake Nicaragua, the larger of the coun- try’s two great lakes, is in all respects one of the finest bodies of water on the continent, needing only to be made easy of access to become as famous a resort of lovers of the grand and beautiful in na- ture as any famous place of the Old World. It is 13 miles long and 60 miles in breadth. Upon its southern shore, near the head of the lake, is the ancient city of Granada, the most important commer- cial city in the republic. A few miles be- low Granada and projecting boldly into thé lake, is the extinct volcano of Momo- bacho, not far from 6000 feet in height. In the lake at its base are innumeral small islands of volcanic origin, rising as cones to heights of more than a hundred feet and beautifully covered with verdure, Some of them are inhabited by Indians and their thatched cottages, shadowed over by tall palms, and with a dense background of broad-leaved plantains, form the most plc- turesque of scenes. The north shore of the lake is undulating, fit for grazing, and some of the largest stock ranches in the world are there. There are a number of considerable islands in the lake, the largest of which is Madeira, or Ometepec, which is almost wholly inhabited by Indians, It abounds in traces of aboriginal ocqupa- tion and art and is distinguished by two immense cones, visible from every point of the lake and from the Pacific. ‘‘"The natural resources of Nicaragua are immense. It is rich in forestry and graz- ing lands, and generous nature needs no forcing to yleld rich harvests, It is rich in sugar, cotton, coffee, indigo, tobacco, rice, maize, wheat and.-cereals. It has the fruits of every latitude and is richer in medicinal and chemical woods and plants than any other country in the world, It has an abundance of precious metals and ores.”’ Nicaragua has a population of 350,000. Of the descendants of the Aztec. He is dark- is athletically built and a great huntes and fisher. The women are the best look. ing of all American Indian women, Some of them are beautiful. These same people live in San Salvador and others of the Central American coun. tries. When Gonzales found them in the sixteenth century they were divided inte tribes, each with its cacique, and were at fierce and inherited war with each oth. | er, They were sun worshippers, too, and made human sacrifices to the sun. The Spaniards saw them take girls and youths, bind them upon a sacrificial stone and cut their hearts out and wave them, bleed+ | ing and awful, at the sun. Like the Aztecs of Mexico, they had much gold and treas- . ure and not a few of the galleons of prec. ious plunder which the murderous Span- lards sailed over the Spanish Main were ° loaded from the riches of the simple peo- ple of Nicaragua, The descendants of the Aztecs are known to ethnologists as the Nahuatl people, and they are not found south of Nicaragua. The Indians of the Mosquito Coast, whe have been armed by Gen. Reyes and aré a part of the revolutionary army, are the Ulvars, one of the most numerous of the tribes and the most unprogressive of them, Iron Squier’s description of them, they are not even the equals of our red men. He found them unlike the other people of Nicaragua, going around almost naked and living and fishing like Nomads, Their huts were made of a few poles set slanting and covered with palm leaves. The Indians make one of them in 16 minutes, ‘The habits of these people have not changed in 300 years,” says Squiers, “Their dwellings are the same; the scenes we see are those which the discoverers witnessed. Eternal summer reigns above them; their wants are few and simple and profuse ne- ture supplies them with an abundance of the necesssaries of life.” The native costume of Nicaragua ts @ short, full-length garment for the women and short, light trousers and ae light coat for the men. Almost everybody goes ebout in bare feet. The marriage customs are unique. The native priest in one of the tribes has the candidates sit side by side before him, when he makes a few signs before their faces and declares them united, It is the easiest ceremony on earth, In another tribe a girl, when old enough to marry, is sent out by her parents and for- bidden to return until she can bring a hus- band. Then there ts great tejoicing among her people. Civilization progresses siowly in Nicaragua, for schoolhouses are few. ee so Ma same as that of the isla an¢ ids alluded DR.

It had used my shoulders as a sort of stepping- stone to escape. “IT then with a struggle, digging my toes into ‘the soft sides of the pit, managed to scramble out. Now I was in a worse fix than ever, for I could not remember which way I had been going, and gave up all hope “of finding camp that night. I com- menced to prepare for spending the night in the forest by trying to make a fire, but having no matches and no flint and steel] I tried with the few remaining rifle cart- ridges, extracting the bullets and firing into little heaps of dry grass,. which plan only resulted in the scattering of the heapg of grass. “Then there was only one of two things to do—sit there with my back against a tree and wait for the approach of such wild animals as might desire to investigate me, or fire off my revolver in the hope of at- tracting my men at the camp. I fired the revolver and Waited for results. After a time I heard the echo of a native gun ring out among the hills, and knew that my signal had been heard. Soon I was on my way back to camp under the guidance of men who knew game pits. “Scores of hunters have ‘been lost in the African forest because of the assumpti!on that they knew enough of woodcraft to make them independent of the native guide. “The sagacity and skill of the natives in those matters is marvelous, For example, once while hunting in the Zambesi Valley one of my guides beckoned to me to Ie low in the grass, for game Was near. There was nothing to be seen, but I observed him examining closely the spoor of a deer or antelope.

THE MYSTERY OF JEROME. lage in Nova Scotia, boasts of a mys- tery that surpasses anything of the kind in all Acadia. For 40 years a legless man who is known as Jerome has lived there. Each year the Legislatyre of Nova Scotia gives $104 for the ma-ntenance of Jerome, as an examination of the official Blue Book will prove. Whence Jerome came, why his legs were cut off, what is hie nativity, are questions none can answer. Recentiy Mrs, Pil Jon- drey, who now l'ves at No, 71 Chandler st., Worcester, Mass., has tried to interest scientists in this case, but she says she fear the “mystery of Jerome” will never be solved. Mrs: Jondrey is a native of Sand Cove, Nova Scotia, which ts very near Saulnierville. She has geen and heard of Jerome ever since she was a child. Here ‘« all that is known of Jerome: One day in 1858 wWhen the Acadian fishermen who lived along the shores of Digiy Neck were drying their nets preparatory to @ trip into the Bay of a after herr‘ngs they saw a ship hoverl along the coast- line.

Next morning the ship had gone, but on the beach there was Jerome. By hie side were a cask of fresh water and a bag of ship’s biscuit. Both of the man's legs had been carefully cut off above the knees. The bandaging and amputation were so neatly done that the puzzled Acadians thought a , surgeon must have attended the man, Acad'ans are as superstitious as any people in this world—the fishermen moat of all. They dared not go near the man at first, They called to him, but he did not answer, and their wonder grew.

He finds them reaching hundreds of miles at easy signaling distances from each other. His theory of the use of the mounds and the purpose of their construction is new. Thovgh an amateur in archeology and ethnology, Mr. Bushnell has devoted to these subjects much time and attention. He has been interested in Indian mounds all his life, and of late years his interest has expanded from local archeology to the relics of the Aztecs in Mexico, the yet older ruins of the Mayis at Copan, the treasures of the old tombs of the Nile and the Euphrates and the ruins of the Forum at Rome. He has. delved in almost every mound in the valley around St. Louis; his idea of a pleasant day without has been to load a wagon with men, spades, shovels, probes and provisions, drive to some old mound and make a hearty attempt at its complete evisceration. Through doing this he has accumulated quite a collection of relics, and to these he has added many foreign pieces, having just returned from Eu- rope, where he spent three months with his family at Florence and watched for two weeks the excavations in the Fo- rum at Rome. “The theory concerning the mounds has impressed me several years, and I am now convinced that I am right,’ Mr. Bushnell says. ‘I have fol- lowed a chain of these big mounds from the Mississippi River through the States of Illinois and Indiana, and into Central Ohio, and I am satisfied they are just as well connected from there through the short territory remaining. signal “We must understand that the ancient history of North America is something of which we know absolutely nothing. The people we term the mound builders left nothing which has thrown any in- telligence upon the mystery of their coming and going, and very little from which we can draw any safe conclusions concerning the state of civilization in which they lived. The red men Colum- bus found may or may not have been the descendants of the men who built O9O00400-60-04 “Why could not fire have : 4 served the American ancients HOODOO OH OOOO GOS4G4G0646000 the mounds. descended from them, or knew anything of them, when or why they built the mounds, their knowledge was long ago lost. asameans of communication across their vast country?” If they were in any wise “Whoever built the mounds, and for what, the Indians here when the Cau- casians came knew nothing of their construction, and made no use of them beyond burying, now and then, in shal- low graves on their summits. The Cahokia Mound, the greatest of the earthworks of the ancients, has yielded nothing to the most extensive explora- tions. The Trappist Monks, who lived upon the mound in the early days, found nothing there when they dug cisterns and excavated for the foundations of their buildings. In subsequent years deep trenches were dug across its sum- mit and terraces, and 15 years ago a tun- nel was dug under the central height of the mound from its base and carried up- ward in its center. Like all the explo- rations before it, this work yielded noth- ing, proving beyond question that the Cahokia Mound was not a burial mound, or, as the pyramids, the monument of an ancient king. So we must suppose, as the best authorities upon this sub- ject have long ago concluded, that the mounds were built at a time when the New World was much more plentifully peopled than it was when the white man came, and that-the people of that ear- lier day had a epecific need for the mounds. There is nothing in this the- ory which is not in keeping with what we know. We know that the Aztecs, even when Cortez came, were a nation enervated by long decay, for there are ruins in Northern Mexico older than the city of Tenochtitlan, and distinct traces at Copan, in Yucatan, of a civilization which not only existed so long ago that the Aztecs knew nothing of it, but was superior in art and society to that of the Aztecs, for the Mayis of Copan had a literature, and the Aztecs had not. “America, for all we know and yet may learn, may have been the cradle of the human race, and this very valley in which we live may have been heavily peopled. It is.my belief that it was. The proofs of it seem all around. From end to end of the greatest valley in the world there are everywhere records of ancient races. Even up in the copper regions of the North we find their foot- prints. They were mining copper there and handling great blocks of it goodness knows when or how. Now, from what I have seen of the records of these people and the writings pertaining to them, I am satisfied that there was a time when there were many people here, and that they were in some way bound together by some national bond. If this were true, it is natural to suppose they had need of some means of communication across the great expanse of country, and I'do not know of any- thing that would have afforded this bet- ter than signal mounds. We have seen the signal system employed in Kansas, where, from water tower to water tower of the towns upon the prairie, signals are flashed across the State with accu- racy and rapidity. Fire and fire sig- haling are old as the hills. Why could it not have served the American ancients as ameans of communication across their vast country? They. could find no natural elevations to serve the purpose, 80 they build the mounds. “The west terminus of this signal chain, I believe, was the great mound which stood upon what is now Mound st., in St. Louis, and from which is the name of the city. From this height, which must have been considerable, it was easy signaling over ot the great Cakohia, or Monks’ Mound, seven miles northeast of East St. Louis. This mound I regurd as the great signal station of the Mississippi—the Olympus from which were the flashes of good news and bad to the people whose intelligence it served. It is built with every care necessary to such a service. It rises an even 100 feet from the level American bottom, and the view to and from it is free upon every side. It is purely of artificial construction. From the south side may be seen the hollows in the bottom where the dirt for the mound was dug. These scoops are lakes as plainly unnatural as the great heap of alluvial earth above them. If not a sig- nal mound, what purpose could Cahokia have served? It is manifestly not an old fort of defense in war. It is not fashioned in a way at all suggestive of fighting, and it has no water. To have taken a stand upon it against.anm Iinvad- ing army would have been as surely sul- cidal as the stand of the Illinois Indians upon Starved Rock. Cahokia gerved some great utility to the people who built it. Else they would not have built it, for they had no beasts of burden, not even wheelbarrows, in those days, and the best provision archeologists can make for them is that they carried the dirt up the mound in skins. But whatever they used, the construction of Cahokia must needs have ‘been a tre- mendous undertaking, for the mound covers 16 acres at its base. “Signaling from the Cahokia, our light would next be seen at the big Lebanon mound, which stands 80 feet high, upon the Henry Seiter farm, near the town, and from it to a tall mound east, and so on to the big mound north of Litchfield, through Illinois and Indiana, and more than half the distance through Ohio, leaping from mound to mound, and here and there lodging upon some natural premonitory in the line of the chain. As far as I have personally carried the chain the theory is practicable, for the “There was a time when there were many people here, and they were in some way bound together by some national bond.” 1 Res mounds or natural heights are well 3 within signaling distance of each and pursue across the country a almost as direct as a crow could Coming west, this line of mounds been followed a considerable this side of Tonawanda, and careful | : +f search, I am satisfied, will fill in the tervening gap. “IT have always believed that }! z Falls was to the aborigine the first wone der of the continent, and that he delfie@ the falls as being, either in t or by representation, most deserving worship.

It has made a certainty of what formerly was only conjecture about direction, rate of flow, etc., of the Gulf stream in the At- - lantic, the great Japan current in the Pa- cic and many other ocean movements which are independent of the wind. The mariner who knows the facts concerning these currents is infinitely better pre- pared to navigate his vessel than the one Who does not, and no ship captain is con- Sidered up-to-date and thoroughly compe- tent to-day who docs not keep constantly informed as to the latest results of their étudy. Yet only two of the worki’s great Gov- @rnments keep up a bottle service with any- thing approaching continuity. The United Btates is one of these, and it might reason- @bly be expected that England, the great- @st maritime power, would be the other, but ho, it is Russia, England's bitterest fee ~@nd America’s old-time friend, that co- Operates with the United States in this mat- ter. Contrary to general belief, engendered by many publications, the bottle service of the United States and Russia |s conducted _Blong extremely economical lines. Com- pared with results, indeed, the etudy of ocean currents is kept up at less expense than any other administrative branch of either Government, the direct outlay being Merely no‘ninal and amounting to no more than ts neceseary to print and distribute a few thousand little slips of paper every year and pay for the clerical service of tab- Wlating the reports obtained.

No bottles are fur- nished, nor is any reward paid to the finder. Such captains as undertake to float bottles, however, are furnished with various charts and other publications of maritime value by the Hydrographic office free of charge. According te the latest publication of the office 108 bottles thrown overboard were re- covered in the year ending July 1, 1898, in the Atlantic Ocean, 16 in the Pacific Ocean and one in the Indian Ocean, The shortest time any of these bottles remained Afloat in that year was five days. It was thrown overboard on Mav 2, 1897, and picked up May 30 Its voyage was made in the middle of the North Atlantic, and it floated only a short distance. The longest period of flotation was 994 days, the bottle having been thrown ov¢ rboar4 about half way between Newfoundland and Ireland on Gept. 1, 18%, and recovered on May 22, 1897, on the Bahama Banks. It traveled about 4500 miles, at an average rate of four miles and a half a day, and described an exteedingly graceful curve, moving first to the southeast, then to the southward and then to the southwest, gradually approaching due west, and mean- time going more than half way round that mysterious part of the Atlantic, the home of abandoned hulks and rotting seaweed, known as the Sargasso Sea, This bottle, which is No. 1 on the list, was one of the slower floaters, though by no means the slowest. That distinction fell to No. 70, thrown overboard from the steam- ship Croatia on June 2, 1897, and picked up Sept. 26, 1897, just 96 days later, 100 miles away. The most rapid floater was No. 103, thrown overboard from the steamship Prins Frederik Hendrik on May 7, 1898, just southeast of the Orinoco’s mouth, off the coast of British Guiana, and picked up sfx days later 199 miles to the northwest, hav- ing traveled at the rate of 31 7-10 miles a day. Few of the bottles making long flotation moved rapidly, but No. 51, thrown over by the steamship Sutherland March ll, 1897, a little south of the equator, and nearly north of Pernambuco, Brazil, traveled 181 days at the rate of 227-10 miles a day. It floated along the northern coast of South America, passed imto the Caribbean Sea just north of the island of Trinidad, fol- lowing themce a curving course to the en- trance of the Guif of Mexico, barely ciear- ing the western end of Cuba and finally coming ashore on the eastern coast of Florida some 50 or 60 miles south of St. a BOTTLES SOLVE MYSTE were at hand the courses of the bottles mentioned above would prove conclusively that the theory of the Gulf Stream is cor- rect, though examination of the chart ac- companying this article will show consid- erable variation of routes taken by bottles released at practically the same location. These variations are chiefly caused by the winds, which modify ocean currents much more than might be supposed. The attaches of the Hydrographic office in Washington are periodically in receipt of decidedly curious letters from persons who have picked up bottles, and these let- ters are known in the office as bottle ro- mances. A recent one came from a polrat on the coast of Ireland.

In his letter the writer said he had adopted every means within his power to learn the story of the wreck, but falling, had made up his mind that the ship had never been heard from. He had returned the paper to the Hydrographic office as re- quested, and for that service would make no money charge, but he would ask that information concerning the ship be sent to him. THE SE Another story came from a bottle finder who dwells on the Island of Antigua. In his letter this man said that he retupned the paper cheerfully, and he hoped the United States would reward him according to his deserts. Crops and weather had both been bad in Antigua for a long time, he announced, and he was not only short of money and food, but he lacked even the necessary seed to put in a new crop.

Still another story came from an Amer- ican sea captain who picked up a bottle in the mid-Pacific some time ago. This man had been studying theosophy, which he considered the key to human happi- ness. If it were studied and understood by sea captains generally it was his opin- ion that they would be better navigators and better men. He had tried many times to interest ‘his brethren in the Blavatsky cult without much success; besides, he was able to meet a compaartively few of them only. He had observed that each issue of the bottle charts had printed on its back an article concerning the results of bottle floating. Sea captains invariably consulted these articles with respect, and he felt sure that an article on theosophy, if printed on the charts, and so apparently indorsed by the United States Govern- ment, would be read with due attention by every captain into whose hands it came. He therefore inclosed such an ar- ticle, and with it the sum of $ to pay for the printing. But Uncle Sam did not go into the business of booming theosophy. The Hydrographic Office gets weather reports regularly from most of the cap- tains who act as its bottle agents. Each captain who is willing to make reports receives a little book of blanks, so printed that he can Indicate conditions simply end accurately with little trouble. The blanks provide for information concerning the lo- cation of the ship, the date, the direction of the wind, the height of the barometer, the temperature, the state of the clouds and the state of the seas. Each oBserva- tion is supposed to be taken at “Green- wich mean noon," so that all observations coincide exactly as to time. Five thousand one hundred sea captains all toid have become weather observers for the United States Government under this arrange- ment. Two thousand are sending in re- ports regularly, and the number is con- stantly increasing. Euceedingly useful charts showing the movement and date of great storms are periodically made from these reports. Although the British Gov- ernment does not co-operate in this serv- ice, more British sea captains than of any other nationality are enrolled, there be- of other nationalities who make every day when on voyage. Not long ago one captain, a Briton, closed a weather report, with the panying letter along with his bottle when he threw overboard the daily bot from his vessel. He was @ little east southeast from Newfoundland when : Ocean Currents Traced by Floats || Set Adrift by Hydrographic Experts. did this entertaining trick, and the botti@ c. was picked up near Dungeness lighth near the mouth of the Thames.

- —_— pe ae ~ ie Bp: : F ; ! ! } ; ’ ’ ; ¢ JACK THE CLIPPER, THE POLICE CALL HIM. _. sialiacoshnatlbt A CHICAGO MAN CHICAGO, Feb. %. Special Norrespondence of Sunday Post-Dispatch. OHN W. JORGPNSON, a man and a J brute, a student and a madman, an assailant of women and girls, and a gentle, considerate husband; an originator of a new crime, is one of the most remark- able prisoners ever held by the Chicago po- ice. He is the hair clipper, whose fame and perfidy have been heralded since 189%. In four years his little scissors have snipped something like 300 pretty braids. Some of these he has taken without touching the girl he sheared; others he has clipped after a struggle in which he brutally overpow~ ered young women and girls and took their fair with as much ferocity as an Indian would take a scalp. For four years all Chicago has wondered what kind of man was this who delighted in cutting girls’ hair—something unknown {in crime until this fellow appeared. They have wondered much at his motive, what he did with all the braids he cut. and if the harvest he made was worth its perils. They have been very much interested in ‘Jack the Hair Clipper, and now they have him fast where they may see him, discuss him and punish him. The Clipper is hardly what any one @xX- pected he would be. He 1s intelligent, a etudent at the Columbia Institute, a mem- ber of good society and the son of a wealthy man. Nobody expected this. They expected that he would be a thug, an idiot, and a poor man from the slums, and because he is not any of these things he is the more interesting. The Clipper is 2 years old. He is an athlete. He is handsome. His features are frank and intelligent. He has a pl - ant little home and a bride of sé€ven months. The professors of the Columbia Institute regard him as one of the bright- est young men in their classes. They can searce believe that John Jorgenson is the mav who has terrified thousands of Chi- eago girls with fear of his horrid scissors. Ilis wife says it cannot be true. His mother and father say he is insane if he did it, and his friends in two clubs of which he is a member declare their belief that he is a good, honorable fellow if he is possessed of singular mania, and say they will stand by him. The police are sure he is just a mean devil whose wealth will win him sympathy, and who, instead of being adjudged a common criminal and kicked into a prison cell, will be carefully classified with cases of remarkable de- mentia, discussed and petted by wise men, and then labeled and liberated. All ‘crim- inals look alike to the guardian of the law. Any doubt that Jorgenson is not the fa- mous clipper is: dispelled by the young man himself. There is even no need to show that he was caught at his work. He ad- mits it all. He tells how he did,it, and why. He suffers severest remorse and seems relieved by admission of ‘his guilt. lie does not act like an insane person. lHiis grief when his wife an@ parents came to him and his humiliation when sympa- thetic friends called at the jail were too rea) for that. He begged that he be shot. Yet Jorgenson is crazy as a man can be. In fact, he ranks well up in the list of the craziest people any one ever heard of. Here is his story of what he has done: “our years ago 1 was sick with fever. The illness was severe, and when I recov- ered I discovered that I had a strange de- sire’ to cut off girls’ braids. It seemed to me the strangest of sensations. I had never kiown it before. It was ridiculous. I knew it, and laughed at it heartily. I would get ft out of my mind. I would busy my mind with other things and give it no room there. But I could not. In spite of every earnest effort, 1 could not free my mind of that ridiculous desire to cut hair. It seemed ta grow, and in a little while I knew it was serious and laughed at it no more. “Almost before I knew it I got a pair of scissors. I Was sane as ever I was in my life when I got the scissors. Getting them seemed a serious bit of business which something had commanded me to do, and which had to ‘be done, And yet I knew I was doing something foolish of which my people and friends must not hear. After I got the scissors I began cutting hair. It was fascinating sport. I would rush upon a girl or young woman, catch her hair tight at the scalp and snip it off. It amused me to see how it frightgned them and hear them scream, for I s good-natured all the time and knew I would not hurt them for anything : “I would put the braids in my pocket and throw them away before I reached home, s0 my people would not know. Then I would suffer the bitterest remorse. All the fun in it, all the sport of it and all the fascination of it become humiliation and bitterness as goon as the excitement of catching the girls was over, and I cursed and despised myself and determined I would surrender to the police. I made this determination every time I cut a braid, but I was too weak to do what I threat- ened. I etarted for the police station sev- eral times and always weakened and turned back. Twice I went as far as ‘the door. At other times I thought I would go to a doctor and tell my story. But I could not do it. I was afraid he would tell the po- lice and cause my-arrest. So I let it grow, and the desire to cut hair grew worse. From one to two trips a month I began making as many a week, and the last few wecks I have been out almost every evening, though not always getting a chance to do anything. I read everything the papers said about me, and the 'things printed of me frightened me sO I became more cautious and quit strug- gling with girls to get their hair. I became satisfied to slip up behind them and clip their hair without touching them. and I expect I have taken & brads in ‘this way when the girl I was shearing did not know of her loss until I was well away. I know that upon this particular thing I am crazy Upon everything else Iam sane.” — f Private Detective Evans, who watches the crowds at the Fair, discovered the clipper. The detective noticed that the young man came in without having any aparent reason for doing so, and went out after walking around. The next day he came in again and Evans noticed that he looked always at the hair of the women. From this the detective guessed that the young man must be the celebrated clipper. He walked close beside him and watched him, and, sure enough, the young fellow drew from his coat a long, bright pair of shears and clipped midway the hair of a young girl. He did it witha lightning motion and was away almost before the detective was aware of it, but Evans followed him and picked up Detective Elliott as he hurried along. On ‘Madison st. ‘Miss Erna Fransky and her mother stood watching the firemen at work in the ruins of the ‘McClurg building. His demeanor was that of a sober, earnest man --a spectator interested in what the firemen were doing. The detective stood close behind, watch- ing his every move. They saw him look ad- miringly at the girl’s long tresses: saw his left hand lift them gently and the right whisk out the scissors. And then, just as the blades closed, they threw themselves upon the clipper’s back and arms. He woke to his peril like a mad giant. In an instant he had whirled upon them and borne them back, and, fighting furiously, they fell over the curb and rolled over and over into the street. The clipper used his scissors and brought blood from Elliott's hand, but he was whipped, handcuffed and imprisoned. He was a prize. Four years the Chicago police had sought him, and promotion awaited the officer who should bring him in. HAIR CLIPPER’S DEMENTIA. By Dr. A. E. Mink of St. Louis. HTS Hair Clipper’s doings furnish a re- markable example of an affliction old as‘ history. This man has impulsive or instinctive insanity. He follows a blind impulse to do something which he knows to be wrong, and for which he suffers re- morse as soon as he has done it. It profits him nothing. Therefore he acts without a healthy motive. In every other thing he does he is perfectly sane. From this we know he is neither a maniac nor an idiot. From his hair clipping mania we know he is not thoroughly sane, for his mania has all the originality, all the ludicrous and ridiculous characteristics of insanity. He simply cut hair for the fun of cutting. He had no use for it and hated himself for his folly. Impulsive insanity is nevertheless won- derful and interesting for its age.

Union Musical Concert. HE seventh concert of the season by the Union Musical Club took place yesterday afternoon at Memorial Hail. This was a piano recital, with two vocalists to vary the monotony of an en- tire programme of instrumental music. The recital was opened by Miss Marion Ralston, who played Bach's “‘My Heart Is Ever Faithful,’ as it has never been piayed (in public, at least) here before. The song is arranged for the plano by. Paul Lavig- nac, whose book on the life and works of Wagner is known to all, and with the exception of the Liszt ‘“‘Liebestraum,” or the beautiful “Ich Liebe Dich” of Chami- nade, I know of no composition which “sings in golden tones’ as does this one. Miss Ralston’s interpretation of it was ex- quisite, as was also her masterly rendition of the fine Beethoven sonata (Opus 57) which followed. Afier ‘Miss Ralston’s number Miss Adah Black sang two charming little Schumann compositions, with violin obligato, the ‘“Madrigni,” by Harres, and Allitser's “Unto Thy Heart.”” Miss Black’s voice grows better, I think.

The Arrival of Richard Avery From America Casts No Light Upon the Secret, but Adds a New Complica- tion, Mrs. Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. HB law firm of Lenney & Donovan, New York, offers for a certain American dime a reward of §500. Behind this offer is a gomance. The principal character is a Dorchester (Mass.) girl, who, for her mother’s sake, is called *“Tacy Gardiner.’’ In 1888 Lucy was given a bracelet by her lover, Richard Avery. pon it was a mysteriously marked American dime. Soon afterward she fell in love with Victor Valliant, a French teacher. Her parents refused to consent to the wedding. At the same time it was pub- lished of Valliant that he was a rascal who bad deceived several women, and was living under an assumed name. Lucy and Va'liant disappeared. Lawyer John Osborn had seen the mysteriously marked _ 2 Lucy oy Richard Avery. In Beptember, 1896, while on business in France, he picked it up jn a train compartment. The dis- covery excite born. In the compartment with him were a man and a woman sitting together. He asked them what they knew of the coin. They answered that they knew nothing except that a woman they did not know occupied the seat where it was found. This woman had left the train et the ‘ast station. The lawyer Delieved her to to be Lucy Gardiner, and he told M. and Mme Girard, the le in the compartment, of the disappearance of Lucy and the fortune which awaited her if she could be found and reconciled to her father before he died. The lawyer determined to find the woman he believes to be Lucy Gardiner. In the course ef his search he finds that Girard, who is a cascal, has robbed him of the mysterious dime, end that Mme. Girard in turn robs her husband and disappears with the coin; that Girard, be- Heving it might be used to secure some of the Gatdiner fortune, is attempting to make another like it. The lawyer finds the woman who oc- cupied the seat in which he found the coin. She fe closely veiled. He follows her to a chi'dren’s home, where he seen a little girl who looks as Tmcy Gardiner looked when she was a child. The veiled lady has invited him to call upon her, and e be'leves she will tell him that she ts really ucy Gardiner; that Girard is Valliant, and that Mme. Girard is a woman who has supplanted her in Valliant’s affections. CHAPTER V. HE woman in black was without her | veil when she received Mr. Osborn in the little parlor of her suite. The lawyer does not possess a highly emotional nature, yet he was not quite calm when he entered the room. His interest in the af- fair had become intense, and he could not suppress his anxiety at th's crisis. It was his first view of this woman's face —unless, indeed, he had seen it eight years before, and thousands of miles from that spot. He looked eagerly, but was doomed to disappointment. In that thin, deep-lined and pallid face he could trace no resemblance to the pretty girl whose charm had touched his heart in days gone Dy. “How do you do, Mr. Osborn,” gaid she iri English, as she extended her hand. “I am pleased to meet you.” “Your words are the more welcome,” he replied, “because they express a most exreeable change of sentiment.’’ She laughed in a way that savored of the stage. as one who has found the direc- tion written into her part. “Tt is true that I have felt obliged to deny myself this pleasure hitherto,”’ said she, but do not let that count against me. Let me introduce myself. My name is Barah Scott. I aman English woman, and have always lived in France, and I am in the service of the Parisian police.’’ The lawyer bowed. He may not have be- lieved what he heard, but there was no 0oc- casion to say 80. “Please be seated,”’ continued the amiable hostess. “Thank you, Miss—’’ “Mrs, Scott will be preferable, perhaps,” said she with engaging frankness. Osborn began to think she might really - be connected with the police. “I first had the pleasure of making your acquaintance,’’ sald she, “at St. Nazaire.”’ “Indeed? I did not see you there.” “That is quite possible,” she replied. ‘‘But I saw you when you entered the compart- ment with my present neighbors, the Gi- rards, I saw you leave the train at the next stopping-place. and some ‘hours later I, was greatly surprised to find you at the door of my carriage in Monte Carlo. Realizing that you. must have come by special train in pursult of the Girards, I had some sus- picion that you also might be connected with the police. Being in doubt on many points regarding you, I decided to allow our acquaintance to progress slowly. Yes- terday We narrowly escaped meeting at the pension of Mme. Paulin.’’ “Whither you went to see a HUttle girl named—by the way, what fis her name?’ “The name she bears there will do neither of us any good to know," answered Mrs. Scott. ‘It is merely a name. I do not even know whose child she is, though I believe her to be Mme. Girard’s. One thing 1s certain. Mme G‘rard visits the child regularly, but she does so under writ- ten author'ty from its mother. whom Mme. Paulin has never seen. At least, that’s the story, Now, as a lawyer, what would you make of that?’ “The child is Mme. Girard’s,” replied Os- born promptly, “but as the woman knows that any day may bring disgrace and ruin, ehe prefers that the child should seem to be another's, for thus the shadow wit! not fall so heavily across iis li'fe.” “My own opinion precisely,” said Bcott. “Is Mme. Paulin g00d woman—fit to have the care of childten?" O#born asked. “She ie indeed,”’ was the answer, “though @s much cannot truthfully be said for many of her patrons. The management of the place, however, is of the best, the mental and moral training of the pupils beyond ' eriticiem.” “I am glad to hear it,” answered Osborn, “for I suspect that the child is closely re- lated to some friends of m'ne."’ “I know what you suspect,’ was the re- ply. “AM this should be cleared up pres- ently. You are expecting the arrival of a witness from America?" “T am,"’ said Osborn, “Richard Avery of Boston, who knew Miss Gardiner well, should arrive in a few days."’ Mre. Scott asked the exact date. and seemed disappointed when Osborn would not name it. The lawyer had a telegram in his pocket from Avery, who had reached Havre and would travel by the most direct route to Mente Carlo. In the present state of Ms own information regarding her, it ted unwise to tell Mrs. Boott the exact ta aga aes Bia Bi , a es time of Avery’s coming. She might have a reason for avoiding him. 3 Search for a mar in a crowd and you will find a dozen who, at first glance, seem to be that individual, though they bear no ae resemblance to Him.

The lawyer had seen Avery as a youth and recognized him at a glance though there was nothing distinctive in his face or figure. He looked older than his years and showed the strain of nervous excitement, the unflagging | dured through journey. “There is a man who has never forgotten the love of his youth,” was Osborn’'s mental comment, as he extended his hand to the young man. “Ia she still here?’ demanded Avery. impatience en- the monotony of a long —, - “ye 7 >=. “You mean Mme. Glrard?’’ “Yes; Lucy. I suppose there is no doubt that it is she.’’ ‘Om the contrary,” said the lawyer, “there is more doubt than anything else. You must not approach this case with a settled conviction, or you may make mis- takes.”’ “Do you think I will not recognize her?” exclaimed Avery. ‘“‘Or him? I would know the'r footprints on the ground.” “You have not forgotten her, then?” “Forgotten her!’’ Avery shuddered, ae If the thought were a shock to every nerve in his body. ‘When can I see her?” he demanded. Osborn had led the young man apart from the crowd, for Avery had showed no sign that he cared who méght overhear him. ‘This affair,’’ said the lawyer in a iow voice, ‘‘is 'n the hands of the police, and we must to a certain extent conform to their wishes.’’ ‘In the hands ‘of the police? Why?" Osborn in a few words explained the situ- ation. “They regard Lucy as a confederate of this man.” eald Avery; ‘‘not the vict!m of his deception, I perceive.’’ ‘Whe could hardly have been his compan- ion for eight years,’ said the lawyer, “ewtthout realizing h's character, and be- coming to a certain extent his confederate.” “You never knew her,”’ answered Avery. “What Lucy believes, she believes, and all the evidence in the world has nothing to do with it. If she was convinced in the beginning that Vaillant was a good man, he might steal before her eyes every day in eight times elght years and not shake her faith.”’ “We shall know more in a few hours,” said Osborn. ‘‘Let me start your baggage toward my hotel, and then we'll go to the Bureau of Police.”’ They found Renard in his private office. Osborn remarked a change in Avery's man- ner. He greeted Osborn as. a frierd, but he treated Renard as an enemy. Renard himself was in a frame of mina far from agreeable, but his politeness was rather increased than diminished by this circumstance. “Tam sorry to greet this young man with a disappointment at the end of his long journey,” said the officer, “but it is un- happily necessary, Mme. Girard has eluded us again. It seems impossible to place an effective watch upon her. She is gone: and, as before, Girard himself does not know where."’ Osborn was looking into Avery's face as this announcement was made, and he was surprised to see an expression of satisfac- tion, A moment's reflection, however, made the matter clear. He had heard the old love story of Richard and Lucy related with great particularity in the old days, and had not forgotten it. He now saw that the ssme loyalty which had made Richard take sides with rather than against his rival, because he would not oppose himeelf to Lucy, was unchanged by the years. If Lucy wished to elude the police, and had done so, Richard was giad of it, whatever might be the result to himself. “We have no doubt, however, that she . Neri Bite 4 sek acta hihi ine Seek will return,” continued Renard. “She dia so in the first Instance, and will again. Moreover, it is probable that we shall “be able to trace her more accurately this time, so that we can bring her back, if that be- comes necessary.”’ “I trust it wi not,” said Avery. “It would be of the highest importance to us if you could identify her,’’’ said Re- nard. ‘‘We are beginning to know nearly as much as we need to know about the man. But as to the woman we are still in doubt. She may never have seen Girard up to a few weeks or a few months ago. In that case we should have nothing against her, unless we can connect her with the robbery of the Countess de Bris- sac. But on the other hand, if she is Lucy Gardiner and has been the com- panjon of Girard—or Vaillant—for years, the matter is much simplified.” Osborn could not regard this line of dis- course as judicious on the part of the de- ADDITIONAL CHAPTERS OF THIS STORY WILL BE PRINTED IN THE NEXT SUNDAY POST- DISPATCH. ——— tective. He therefore hastened to change the topic. “As to the coin, Mr. Avery,” “I suppose there is no douvt could identify it?’’ “None whatever.”’ “Here is a rude sketch of the one which I found,” said Osborn.” ‘The design is sufficiently shown, and I am positive that the numbers are correct. I have rather an extraordinary memory for such matters. and as soon as I discovered the loss of the dime I made a memorandum of the numbers as I then recalled them.” Avery glanced at the sketch carelessly. “It seems to have been made from the origina] coin,” said he, “‘but I cannot be sure.’’ “There could hardly be a coinc'dence in two letters and eix figures,”’ said Renard. “The chances against that would be mill- fons of millions."’ “I dg not remember the figures,” Avery. “You have not forgotten exclaimed the lawyer. Avery smiled grimly. “I should think not,” said he; “yet it is true that I cannot recall] the figures. How- ever, that Is unimportant. When the colin 1% found I will agree to settle all doubt about it. “You know what the cipher means,” sald Renard, ‘why can you not work back from that to the figures?’’ “Because, under the circumstances, it is impossible, my dear sir,” said Avery blandly, “And what. if I may aek, was the mean- ing?’ inquired Renard. “Gentlemen,”’ said Avery, that cipher is of great importance now, and may be of much inore. And the reason is because it Is a secret. I will stake my lite that only Lucy and I know the answer. When others know it will cease to be a secret and ite value will be destroyed.

Renard’s eye and found ita way to the lawyer. And the meaning of the glance was: “What have we encountered here?” “Now, if you please," gaid Avery to O8s- born, “I would like to go with you to the hotel. I wesh ‘all upon M. Girard.” “Ah, but my dear sir, you must not do that!’ exclaimed the detective. ‘“‘Let me beg of you not to disquiet him. He has not yet taken the alarm.

Avery paused a moment for reflection. “I will be guided by you to some extent in this matter,’’ he said at last. And the detective sent a message, by a glance, to the lawyer: “A very difficult person, this American, but not quite hope- less,"’ it said. By plans already arranged it was possi- ble for Avery to enter Osborn’s apartments without risk of being seen by Girard. The latter, however, had begun to go about quite freely and caution was necessary. A room adjoining Osborn’s parlor and connecting with it had been engaged for Avery, this arrangement seeming ‘best un- der the circumstances. The young man made a hasty toilet, while Osborn sat in his parior in the usual position with a view of the corridor through a crack of the door, Suddenly he saw Girard step out into the hall. He looked up and down, and then spoke in a low voice to a servant. The next instant Osborn heard the door of Avery's room—the one communicating with the hall—open so violently that it swung back against the wall. He could not see Avery, but he saw the reflection of him, as it were,’in Girard’s face. The Frenchman stood perfectly still and Stared straight ahead. The American ad- vanced slowly, until he came within Os. born's line of vision. For almost a minute the two men looked into each other's eyes. Then a ahudder passed over Girard’s frame; the cold breath of fear had touched him. He stepped back and made a quick motion as if to draw a weapon. The next instant he was lying upon the floor. The blow had been so quick that Os.- born could not have said povritively that he had seen it. A man must be carefully taught to strike like that, the natural man does not do it, Had Avery thought in many an hour of training what use he would make of his skill? However that may be, he seemed satisfied with the result. Without a glance at the rostrate man he turned slowly and walked ack into Mis room. The servant gathered up Girard, who reeled and staggered like a drunkard as he was assisted to regain his apartment. Avery entered Osborn’s parlor and said ) edn to the lawyer, who stood by the oor: “It it Vaillant.” ——_—$-—- o—rn—v—w—X—” CHAPTER VL T was useless to speak of the rashness of Avery's conduct He was in no mood to listen, and no good could come of reproaches. The blow had been struck— an instant’s pain as punishment for a fault he Ores ‘y of endless consequences: an {tstant’s sat- isfaction of that lowest part of man, the vengeful, to compensate for loss that heaven's eternity could not set right. Yet in that sudden outburst of physical resentment Osborn beheld a rude measure of the Injury Vaillant had done, and he longed to see the creature brought to a more perfect accounting. ‘‘Renard must be informed of this identi- fication,” said the lawyer. “We will go te him at once.” “It is not necessary that I should go,” said Avery. “I will remain here.’ ‘Promise me, then, that you will not tIn- dulge in further violence,” rejoined Os- born, speaking very earnestly. “If I am judge of men, there will be no more blows,” replied Avery. ‘That fellow will shoot the next time we come together.” “Are you armed?” “T am,” ‘Then Osborn you must come with me,” said decidedly. “It won't do to have bloodshed. And I’m afraid you are right , 9 about Vaillant. He will be desperate now. “I don't wish to see Renard,”’ responded Avery; “he annoys me. But if you are afraid of a collision between Vaillant and myself, 1 will ride with you up to the Ca- sipfo and walk in the grounds, Thus I shail be spared the temptation of being so near him, and he will not know where to look four me if he feels an impulse to do so.” The lawyer saw no great objection to this plan. They took a carriage and went up to the Casino, whence the lawyer walked with Avery to a retired spot in the great park, euch a place as those unfortunates who have lost all at play seek for the final throw, the hagard of another world than this, “You will find me here when you have ended your effair with Renard,” said Avery eborn sought just in time to fice, “Your friend hae been rash,” eald the de- tective “Vet it makes no great difference. 4 think We should have decided to arrest Valllant to-night tn any event—perhaps even if he had not been identified.

It is too fervid for publication in a family paper but the following excerpt gives a very fair idea of ‘the style: “But recount flawless features, a Juxur- fously rich mads of hair like plumed silk, halt closed eyes of languorous loveliness this Warmly colors a glowing apparition ih matchless tints and my cerebral matter ‘Torsekes its gray hue and riots in purple * and cream and blue."’ “Bald Head” lives in the wrong latitude. He Ought to go to the Klondyke and rent Himself out as a patent automatic heater Warranted to thaw 16 feet of frozen earth in 16 consecutive seconds. If he will do and avoid nitrogenous foods for a sea. Bon Gis purple and cream and blue brain will not throb so tumultuously. “The writer has not ot had sufficient oppor- ities of studying the work of Miss Min- © Radcliffe to form an opinion as to her t as an actress, but she is certainly amd megnetic and graceful, and the ar patrons of the Imperial seem to adopted her as a favorite. If the works and is a good girl she will have more nds than Lawrence Hanley or Gus nberg. ' According to the versatile and entertain- ing press agent, Mme. Melba, who will sing for Us next Friday night, delights to tell a her early musical environment. Her er was an enthusiastic basso and her r played the piano with great ekill, nd she had an “Aunt Lizzie” who sang ike a lark, “‘Eveo as child of three or four ears,’ Melba is quoted as saying, “I was | Passionately devoted to music that I remember frequently crawling under the piano and remaining quiet there.for hours, while listening to my mother’g* playing. My mother sang, though she had not a particularly notable voice. But her 61s- ter, my aunt Lizzie, possessed a soprano voice of’ extraordinary beauty and qual- ity. To this day I can remember my aunt's absolute control of her voice, and the beauty and ease of her execution even in the highest pianissimo passages. My aunt Lizzie would have enjoyed a brilliant career as a public singer had she adopted it. My father fostered my love of music to the utmost of his power. When I was quite a baby it was my great Zoy on Sunday aft- ernoons to sit on my father’s knee at the, harmonium. He would blow the bellows with his feet while singing a bass accom- paniment to the hymn which TI would pick out on the keyboard with one finger.” Manager Gumpertz will conduct another school of acting at the Imperial next sum- mer with Hugh Ford and Miss Jessie Izett as instructors. Miss Izett; who will prob- ably be Mrs. Ford before the school opens, June 1, is now leading lady of Harry Davis’ stock company at the Grand in Pittsburg. Apropos of schools, there is a greater need for an academy for the education of press agents than there is for schools for actors. The other day the manager of a local theater sent an announcement to the Post-Dispatch that among the features of a show to be seen here next week would be “twelve thoroughbred racehorees, in cluding Hamburg and:Henry of Navarre and the celebrated jockey, Tod Sloan.” The statement was so aibsurdly prepos- terous that the announcement was returned to the cheerful gentleman who sent it with a request that he state whether it was in- tended to be taken seriously. The reply came back in words and figures as follows, to-wit: ‘“‘It is all true except that about Henry of Navarre and Ham- burg and Tod Sloan. There really are 12 horses in the commany.”’ Now what can you do with a man like that? Samuel Eberly Gross of Chicago, who claims that Rostand stole the scenario of ‘Cyrano de Bergerac’’ from a play written by him and submitted to A. M. Palmer, has been interviewed in a Chicago paper on an article published in another Chicago paper deriding Mr. Gross’ claim. Mr. Gross talks vigorously and claims that Sardou is in league with Rostand against him. He sets great store by the fact that he is an Ameri- can and intimates that many good Ameri- can plays have been stolen by French au- thors. Olga Nethersole will begin her engage- ment at the Olympic next week. She is now playing in Chicago, Miss Jessie Mackaye of St. Louls is spoken of in terms cf warm praise for her work with Maude Adams in “The Little Minister."” Miéss Mackaye’s parents live at 42956 Washington bl. Miss Fannie Frankel, a pretty St. Louls girl, is making a success in the Dorothy ‘Morton Opera Company. She joined the company as a member of the chorus, but is now singing roles of considerable impor- tance, Miss Florence Rockwell of the Sol Smith Russell Company is another fair St. Loulsan who has won honor as an actress. During her stay in St. Louis this week she will be the guest of Mrs. George Boyle of 3520 Pine st. She was a schoolmate of Miss Hallie Boyle. Several teas and luncheons will be given in honor of the actress by the maids and young matrons with whom she af- fililated before she went on the stage, The Wednesday matinees last week proved that St. Louis is.what the Post- Dispatch has persistently claimed it to be ~—something more than a one-week stand, The Olympic broke its Wednesday mati- nee record, and the Century broke al) the records it ever had for the number of people in each house. And this was done on a day when every other theater in 8t. Louis was open and displaying the “Standing room only” sign. Mr. Charles Spaiding is kindly requested to make a note of this fact and refer‘to it when ho is booking attractions for the Olympic and the Century for next season. St. Louls is no longer a one-week stand. om Otis Harlan will not be a feature of a ~s farce after the season of “A Day and a Night” is closed. The dumpy little come- @an from Zanesville, O.. has been re- leased at his own request from his con- tract with the firm of Hoyt & McKee, ee more, reete, te um —"¢€ , Overy f{) DMA + eee Se and he will be seen next season as a Star. The new piece is a farce by George R. Sims, entitled ““My Innocent Boy.’ The diversity between the role to be assumed by Mr. Harlan and those usually present- ing him in a Hoyt play may be realized when it is understood that Mr. Frohman until recently had plans for E. H. Sothern and “My Innocent Boy.” Frank McKee of the firm of Hoyt & Me- Kee secured the rights of the new piece from ‘Mr. Frohman late last fall when it Was decided ‘to enter Mr. Sothern in the big free-for-all ‘“‘Three Guardsmen” tourna- ment which is soon to take place in New York. Mr. McKee will direct Mr. Harlan’s tour, though he will continue in the firm of lioyt & McKee. He has already set about engaging the company to support Mr. Har- lan, and if he selects from the names he has now under advisement he is bound to have an organization of high class. The part to be taken by Mr. Harlan is not the only good thing in the cast, and the new Star has been generous enough to urge ‘that the other characters be dealt out to only the most competent men and women. Mr. McKee has secured the Garrick Theater, one of the most delightful little play-houses on either side of the Atlantic, for Mr. Har- lan’s debut, and “My Innocent Boy”’ will first begin to tell his troubles to an Amer- ican audience next September. CRANE’S NEXT PLAY. z will be amazing if Mr. William H. Crane does not have a great play next season. As the Post-Dispatch related several days ago, Brander Matthews and Bronson Howard are collaborating on it and it will be a picture of early days on Manhattan Island during the administra- the third, the last and the greatest Dutch Governor of New York. “Knick- erbocker’’ you will at once recognize the tion of Peter Stuyvesant, If you remember your brilliant possibilities for a charming play to be built out of the material to be found in Washington Irving’s delightful history of the Manhattoes. Stuyvesant—‘‘Hard Kopping Piet,” as his subjects lovingly called him—commends it- self at once to the imagination as one that will suit Mr. Crane better than anything he has ever played, with the possible ex- ception of Sir Anthony Absolute. Can you not see him now, stumping about the stage with ‘his silver chased wooden leg, giv- ing orders to his doughty trumpeter, An- thony Van Corlear; directing preparations for his warlike descent on the Swedes; bully-ragging his grave and _ slumberous council; issuing edicts against wooden nutmegs, and other inventions of the per- niclous Yankees; hurling defiance at the giant Merrylanders; disciplining the val- liant Van Poffenburgh, who named Fort Casimir in honor of a favorite pair of breeches; ordering the distribution of fid- dies, that his subjects might make merry after the labors of the day? There is such a plethora of rich incident in the chronicle of Peter the Headstrong that one wonders how the playwrights will make their choice. Will they take the famous edict regulating the length of wo- men’s skirts and the altitude of their kicks in the dance, which resulted in the declara- The character of Gov. PS 7. . ee Be x Af (i aie mlb, Wa wore” My me Hoos PF Dig il N tion by the self-willed Dutch dames that they would wear their skirts and cut their capers as high as they pleased? If they do not utilize this incident, one person who expects to see the play will be greatly dis- appointed, for it shows that Peter, for all his hardness of head, had to give in when the women rose against him. Of course there will have to be a plot and a love story, but Mr. Howard and Mr, Matthews are capable of building these after the most approved fashion. As a costume play it will probably set New York wild, and the announcement that it will be produced will be enough to put a premium on relics of the old days before Lord Baltimore took possession of the Manhattoes as British territory. And Mr. Crane on a silver-mounted wood- en leg! Well, it’s a practice of the Crane family to stand on one pin, and the come- dian should take to it naturally. OFFERINGS FOR THE WEEK. OL SMITH RUSSELL’S engagement at the Century Theater begins to-mor- row evening. The dill will be ‘‘Honor- able John Grigsby,” a new comedy by Charles Klein. It is not a historical play but the author and Mr. Russell have treated it so.as to invest it with a certain historical The scenes are laid in Illinois in 1850, when that Commonwealth was stirred up, as was the entire Union, over the ques- tion of slavery. James Ogden is a South- erner who deserts his wife, moves North from New Orleans and marries another. The constitutionality of a compromise measure which makes Illinois a slave State is questioned. The opposition to the law is aroused by Meg Ronalds, a supposed orphan who teaches a school of negro children. Og- den and his political cohorts seek to estab- lish the constitutionality of the slave law. To do this they must elect a justice to the Supreme bench who is favorable to them. Here “Hom John Grigsby” falls unwit- tingly into their hands. Mrs. Marsen who is infatuated with the “Hon. John’”’ se- cretly pledges $10,000 to the campaign fund interest. ! SADIE MARTINOT. She is in “The Turtie’’ Company at the Olympic. and Grigsby is nominated and elected a Su- preme Court Justice. Meg Ronalds has sought protection at the hands of Grigsby from the band of political persecutors. Chief among this band is James Ogden, who is the editor of a newspaper which has SOPRANO ANO . EP GaIDAR }” Bary tone. y SFR printed vile insinuations against her char- acter. Just after his election Grigsby turns boldly against Ogden and his crowd. It is known that Grigsby is enamored of Meg Ronalds and through her the political con- spirators seek to reach him. When things look very bad indeed for GrigsBy and the woman he loves, it develops that Meg Ro- nald’s is Ogden’s daughter and that he is a bicamist. Then everything ls wound up satisfactorily. For comedy the phy draws on a veteran of the war of 1812 and one of the Mexican war and the dry wit of “Hon. John Grigsby.” Florence Rockwell, a St. Louis woman, plays the part of Meg Ro- nalds. Others in the company are: Sol Smith Russell, Wiliam Farnum, Alfred Hudson, James Lackaye, William Sampson, Jacques Martin, William Cullington, Lionel La Hodgkins and wegen oes Ge + _mugnated> <9 Al Dui Barrymore, Lila Convere, Alice Thiel, Fan- nie Addison Pitt. “The Turtle.” the play that delighted Paris and shocked and pleased New York, will be presented +0- night and all this week at the Olympic. The cast and the production will be the same that set New York to talking. <A large sum is said to have been expended to give the play a set- ting that would attract attention, and two of the scenes are described as the richest ever seen on an American stage. The feature of the play that has been generally objected to is a disrobing act. The heroine goes behind a screen to change her dress for a night robe, but there is a mirror in which the audience can see her. Persons who have seen the play say that aside from its risque character it is a bright and entertaining creation. The company has several members’ whose work may be safely expected to be good. W. J. Fer- guson, Sadie Martinot, Merri Osborne, Ww. A. Kennedy, Mrs. McKee Rankin, Henry Bergman, Harry Alien, Maud White, Agnes Findlay, F. W. Morrison and Sallie Berg are mo=:t of them well known as expert fun makers. Manager Griffin of the Grand Opera House is going to test the mettle of his scenic artist and his excellent stock by producing this week R. N. Stevens’ ro- mantic drama, ‘‘An Enemy to the King.” It is to be a product‘on up to New York standards, at least Mr. Griffin wants it to be. and if it isn’t, he promises to hold the forces to strict account. The manager has done his share of the undertaking. During E. H. Sothern’s recent season at the Century, he was somewhat surprised to receive a visit from the local stock manager, who requested permission to use his romantic success of two seasons ago Sothern name a royalty figure that would be be most staggering to most men -atering to popular price audiences, but Mr. Griffin paid, Mr. Southern’s price, and got that actor's photographs of the orig- inal production, his property books and costume plates, and the score of the in- cidental music. A fortnight ago the speak- ing parts were assigned and Scenic Artist George Heinman was given carte blanche to reproduce Mr. Gothern’s’ elaborate staging. He had to have constructed a set of 16th century furniture for the fourth act and his setting, with that of the fa- mous setting of the vine-ciad ruin in the third act, has been built with almost as much material and constructive detail as is put into an ordinary house. The week's rest that all hands at the Grand have en- joyed during the season of Hyde’s Come- dians, was advantageously employed. There should be no evidences of the usual stock production haste about th’s week’s per- formance. The role of Sieur de le Tour- noire, made famous two seasons ago by Mr. Sothern, has been assigned to Mr. Josworth. His opposite, the royalist sec- retary, Montignac, will be played by Mr. Hartsell. Miss Seligman will be Julle de Var'on and the dainty role of Bri Bri is in the hands of Miss Scott. The Columbia offers as its “headliner” for this week Marshall P. Wilder, the en- tertainer, who Ella Wheeler Wilcox has characterized as ‘‘a bright bubble of em- bodied laughter.” Mr. Wilder's drollery and genius as a reconteur have made him famous in social and literary circles of England and America and he has only re- cently entered the vaudeville field, his ap- pearance in St. Louls being his first in the West. His specialty, which for want of a better name, may be called a mono- logue, is said to be a gem of refined humor, with just a dash of pathos, Other features of the bill are Charles and Minnie Sa Van. in a comedy acrobatic skit; Ahearn and Patrick, as the "Copper and the Kid: An- nie Sylvester, introducing atartiing feats of trick and fancy. bicycle riding: Al Ws- son, Dutch humorist and parodist; Kitty Wolf, musical comedienne, in songs and harp; Kelley and Viclet, In a musical ce SALVAREZ - TENOR ~ WITHA LBA ..

Melba and M. Alvarez are the bright par- ticular stars, will sing ‘‘Faust’’ Friday evening next at Music Hall, St. Louis will have this organization for only one per- formance. Melba has sung the part of Marguerite in St. Louis before, and her rendition of the jewel song and the thrilling finale of the last act is known and appre- ciated here. She is said to have improved as an actress since she was last here, with- out having lost any of the charm of her flute-like voice. M. Alvarez is one of the leading Parisian tenors. He has been treatcd well by the critics in the United States, and should make a Faust worth remembering. M. Boudouresque is said to be’ an entirely adequate Mephistopheles. The sale of seats for the performance opens to-morrow. “John Martin’s Secret” is the bill for this week at Havlins. It isa melodrama, the story of which is built around the ge- cret of the location of a diamond mine. The man who has the secret is murdered in the first act. There are heroines and heroes and villains and mechanical effects and all the other accessories of the typical melo- drama, One feature igs a jump that one girl makes from the brow of a cliff into the arms of another who is descending in a trolley car The thrilling and infallible press agent remarks: ‘The slightest mis- caluculation would mean either death or being maimed for life, and few women cou'd be found to undertake it.” _—-_--_-_-— Miaco’s City Club is the bill for this week at the Standard. The performance opens with a burlesque called “A Wild Night in Washington.” The company is said to be capable of making it wild enough to suit, the most exacting patron of Mr. Butler's Temple of Art. A specialty programme fol- lows, the features of which are Herr 8S g- fried, humorist; Charland and Searles, sing- ers and dancers; Lew Palmer, vocalist; Nellie Waters, female baritone; Misses Wrenn and Young, and Joe Nestor in a dancing specialty, and Jack Rose in a char- acter sketch, “‘The Divorce Court,”’ a bur- lesque, follows, and the entertainment con- cludes with a sketch called “The Artist's Model,”’ a “Im Weilssen Roesel” (‘In the White | House Inn’’) will be presented to-night at, the Fourteenth St. Theater by a German company from Pabst Theater, Milwaukee.

Jefferson de Angelis will open the season at the New York Casino next September in a new opera by Stange and Bdwards, Alice Nielsen will follow in October, also in a new opera.

The Crazy Jane Society of Newark, N. . which is composed of the wealthiest ‘peo- ple of that city, paid Bousa his price of $69 to play for its benefit for charity, which he did pr.or to opening his tour at Philadeiphia. The usual number of en- cores were responded to by Sousa, and the society found themselves #00 to the good when the receipts were counted. —£ HANDS BETRAY DISEASE. ANY physisians can, simply by lock. ing at the hand, tell that a person is affileted with a certain disease. For many years clubbing of the finger ends hus been held to be one of the most important signs of consumption, and the condition also appears in several other dis- ELSES, Recently Dr. Edward Blake of London has written a work on the study of the hand for indications of local and general disease, in which many inaetructive and peculiar points in connection with the sud- ject are well brought out. in the intreduction to the book Dr, Blake makes mention of the fact that on those rare occasions when the aid of the European physician ts sought for a female member of any Mohammedan family of distinction the only part of the patient which the doctor is permitted to see is the hand, which is thrust thrust through «a small opening in a curtain. The object of Dr. Blake's paper is to anawer to the best of his ability the ques- tion as to whether it & possible that fairly respectable diagnosis might be based upon the sight of the hand alone. In the firet place, it is shown that the hand is often dry in cancer and in paralytic de- mentia.

I have seen worse, to be sure, but-never have I seen such an obsti- nate case of blackheads. The treatment I usually advise and one which will cure 90 per cent of ordinary cases at once, which is the technical expression for a word I! de- test—blackheads—but which I use because every one understands it, I have given many times to Sunday Post-Dispatch read.- ers. It consists of soap and hot water freely applied to the ugly blemishes by way of the camel’s-hair face scrubbing brush. For the first week the smaller spote responded to the treatment, and I wrote in my ac- count of the case published last Sunday hopefully on’ this point. The worst of the black spots on Miss Parks’s face showed up larger than ever the first few days of the scrubbing treat- ment. This was an encouraging sign also, and I looked forward to the expulsion of the Y' GIR i Z4i\N blackheads when the searching water with the detergent soap and friction should have had a fair chance with these obstinate specks. But they resisted our efforts too long, so I resorted to the old-fashioned green-so0ap process. This is a rather heroic method, but rarely falls. Green soap is easily procured at a drug- gist's and is very penetrating. After several days of hot water, with the French hygienic soap, the pores of the skin, clogged by sebaceous matter, presented a distended appearance, but the solid, black tipped plug would not tyield to the brush alone, and Miss Parks’ face was, therefore, heated for half an hour with cloths wrung out of water as hot as she could bear and laid over the refractory blackheads. Then the green soap, which ig soft, wag thoroughly rubbed in. Next the face was scrubbed with hot water and the camel’s- hair face scrubbing brush, After rinsing and drying, the blackheads were forced out by strong pressure between on MRS.

He is very little known, He has what is some- times called the British insular prejudice against inquiry into his private life and habits. A good many hundreds of people who have come in contact with him have called him all the names that one may use ifn polite society. The explanation thereof is simple enough. Mr. Kipling did not care to know them and resented their attempts to know him, To these Kipling is inclined to be exceedingly short, not to say rude or boorish. He believes that he gives the best he has to the public in his writings, and that it has no right to bother about his private Nfe To those whom he gives his friendship— and he is not an aristocrat always—he is as genial, as kindly, as warm-hearted as any one could ask. He is the most de- lightful of companions. Personally Kipling is as complex and re- Markable as his writings. He is cheerfully profane and genuinely religious. His af- fection for his wife and children amounts almost to worship, but even they are not immune from his eense of humor. He calls his first child his “international baby.”’ His study in his home in Brattleboro, Vt,, is a long, narrow room, most artistically adorned, which can be reached only by passing through his wife's bouddir. In it are many books, although he carried a {arge number to England when he removed there to make it his home. Everything in connection with his life in this country shows how desirous is the young man to avoid people who bother him, He absolutely refuses to be Wonized, Qnd the thought of seeing in print what be eats for dinner draws from him lan- Guage as picturesque and as vivid as in his poems, but not so printable. Of course it is matural that a dyed-in- the-wool Tory like Kipling should hardly be happy outside of England, yet he has & genuine love for Vermont, and it is possi- ' ble that had it not been for his trouble _ -With his brother-in-law he might not have ‘deft this country. He prefers Vermont in winter time, al- though ft is cold and cheerless enough to Most people. Perhaps the long years he Spent in the heat of India may account for his delight in cold weather, He has often said that there is nothing like Ver- mont air for babies. This Brattleboro house is as peculiar as Kipling himself. It is an out-of-the-way Diace, on the side of a hill. Properly speak- ing it is not in Brattleboro at all, but just across the line in a little place called Dum- merston. The hill slopes down to the troubled waters of the Connecticut River.

I went up to a Connecticut village to put in two weeks. The night I got there there was a fire in a grocery which cre- ated damage to the amount of about $3. Every man, woman awd child in the town turned out. I was eating supper, and my relatives were highly indignant because I would not rush off with them. “The fire was put out with a few pails of water, but the town was so excited that few people went to bed that night. Next day they stood about ia groups to discuss the calamity, and because I didn’t appear duly impressed I got a dozen people down on me. A public call was issued and a fire company organ- ized. A public subscription was opened and $300 subscribed toward buying a fire engine. The fire was taken as a text by two ministers, and when the local week- ly paper came out it had three solid columns on the affair. While the name of almost every man in town was rung in, fourteen or fifteen were written up as heroes and saviors of the town. “It was recorded as the narrowest escape from a calamity the town had ever had, and the grocer’s boy, who had left an empty box too near the stove, was called upon to tell his story so often that his voice finally went back on him. I couldn't enthuse over a $3 fire, although I realized that it was the proper thing to do, and the people of that village will never care to see me again. One citizen burned his thumb while helping to subdue the ‘conflagra- tion.’ He went around with it tied up in a rag, and people followed him from place to place as boys follow a band wagon. I was the only person in town who didn’t ask him how his thumb Nal Ra ot Sad was and beg him to describe his sensa- tions as he picked up a live coal, and the day 1 came away I heard him say- ing to one of his admirers: “That feller may be from New York City and own as many as four white shirts, but it is easy to gee that he lacks brains and is eaten up with envy!’ ”’ — ou_— EXCELLENT CHOICE. “Which would you rather be, Tommy, George Washington or George Dewey?’ “George Dewey, sir.” “Why? “George Washington is dead, sir.’ OPO OO Of Of Op Of Of Of Ot OO OPO fOPOfOf OOO OOO OOO OOOO O Ot Of OO OPO Oh OOO Of OfOPOPOPOpOoPoto - GERMAN BAND AND THE NEW LEADER.

How many times have I told you not to do that in the house?’ “But I had nothing to do with it, my dear.

It was nvticeable that this particular gath- ering exhibited none of the good-natured patience which is generally a promiment characteristic of New York crowds. In- stead it fought and struggled with fevet- ish anxiety to give up-its dimes and squeeze ftself through the turnstile. Apparently the attraction was some- thing out of the ordinary. Inside the building, at the further end of a long, narrow room, the sles of which were lined with skeletons, pre- posterous wax figures and other tnter- esting objects, was a raised platform. On the platform a young man sat in a chair, The young man was evidently not clad for cold weather, inasmuch as his coatume consisted chiefly of a pair of tights and an American flag, which latter was draped gracefully around his loina, The hair on the young man's head was clipped very short. His face was about as full of expression as a canvas ham. But physically he was re- markably well de , with corded sinews and bulging les of great size.
