CHICAGO, Il., March #.—One hundred heads of families from Chicago and other cities of the Middle West will meet at the Great Northern Hotel here on Sunday to organ.ze a co-operative colony after the Bellamy ideal, which, it is expected, will take up 5000 acres of uncultured land in the Isle of Pines, off the south coast of Cuba, and start a municipal'ty of its own.

JUNKSHOP MAN WAS SWINDLED. When the Dealer Went to Remove the Goods He Had Bought He Foun It Did Not Belong to Him. The latest, up-to-date thief in St. Louis has disguised himself as a clergyman and has attempted to sell a church bell. A man aproached Max Jahlyer, keeper of a junk shop on Biddle st., Thursiay, and represented himself to be the pastor of the People’s Tabernacle at Twenty-third st. and Clark av., and offered for sale the bell of that church. Jahlyer agreed to the terms with the in- dividual, who was clad in clerical robes and gave the name of the Rev. John W. Miller. As a result of the bargain Mr. Jahlyer gave $30 for the bell and Thursday went to the church to get it, taking with him fuur laborers to help load the huge piece of metal on a wagon. The bell, which was blown from the stec- Ple during the cyclone, had been moved from the corner of the church yard nearly to.the curbing by the junk dealer's assist- ants before any one noticed what the men were doing. Willlam Francis, janitor of the church, Who was in the building at the time, was attracted by the no'se of the metal scrap- ing on the pavement as the men tried to load it, and going out he asked :hem what they were doing. They told him they had bought the bell and were just taking it away. They produced a receipt for $2, signed “Rey. John W. Miller.’ Francis, BESCH WOULD HOT ANSWER, City Register Sat Silent Un- der All Questiens. “F, MUELLER” STILL A MYSTERY ars ee POINTED INTERROGATIONS BY ATTORNEY M’DONALD. Major Committee Tried to Investigate the Sprinkling Department, but Were Refused All Information. City Reg'ster Henry Besch took refuge behind the precedent established by Nut- tall, the little grafter, and refused to an- swer questions when summoned before the Major Committee in the investigation of the Sprinkling Department Friday morning. The witness’ chair became a ver-.table sweat box for Besch. The straw man, F. Mueller, throvgh whom Besch is alleged to have drawn hundreds of dollars out of the c'ty treasury, was dangled before him by Attorney MoDonald. And against these interrogating charges the barren “I refuse to answer’ was little protection. Besch squirmed and fidgeted in thinking something was wrong, ordered | —_-- =— his chair; crossed and uncrossed his legs; AD THE BELL OF THE PEOPLE’S CHURCH.

The men were released and immediately went to Chief Desmond to have an officer put on the case. The bell which Miller tried to sell has quite a history. It was bought about years ago by the Presbyterians, who then owned the Twenty-third St. Chureh, anil when the church five years later was, sold the old bell went with it. In the cyclone of 1896 the bell and its tower were blown down and carrieJ clear across the street. The bell was placed in the corner of the church yard, where it has been ever since. , The church did not wish td sell the pell, as it had a good tone and the trustees wished to put it in the Olive st. branch et Missouri av. and Sidney st.

Cole, Who was arrested Thurs- Federal warrant charging him Sith ‘having massed a $10 counterfeit bill, was completely exonerated at the prelim- inary examination before United States Commissioner Gray. “There is absolutely no evidence against the defendant,”” said Mr. Gray. “ Nef of the authorities that he had spurious money in his possession was eh- tirely erroneous.” Cole is a butcher, and is highly esteemed in the community where he resides. JEALOUSY CAUSED THE DEED. Italian Laborer Kills His Wife and Then Shoots Himself. CHICAGO, March 10.—In a fit of jealousy to-day James Medgram, an Italian shot and killed his wife, Theresa, and then ye 0 ne i ee ti 7 " - t j beat tattoos on the floor with his feet; averted ‘this eyes and etroked his bald head. There was oympasiy for him in the eyes of the City Hall gang outside of the rail and encouragement for his Sphinx act, but there was no mercy in Mr. McDonald's questions. All the snesges in the famous F. Muel- ler case re gone over, One by one, by dtem, and Besch refused to answer not on the epen extvse that his answers would incriminate him, but because of criminal charges pending against him in the courts. Besch's sole gsolate was in the presence at his elbow of his attorney, C. Orrick Bishop, who told him the few questions he might answer. ‘I refuse to answer,”’ LA eae 4 in low, nervéus tones, was the sole reply to material questions, These questions were noted by the com- mittee stenographer, and they, with the fact of. Besch’'s refusal to answer, will be certified to the Senate at once, as was done in the case of Nuttall. H. C. Pohlman, coal dealer and sprinkling contractor, evidently an honest man in the toils of the City Hall ring, told of sums he was forced to pay to J. P. Schureman, an- other sprinkling contractor, in order to re- main in the sprinkling business. He said Schureman told him he had arranged with Besch to allow Schureman and himself to disregard the rules of their sprinkling con- tracts, on the payment of $0 per year on each district they sprinkled. e said he mid the money to Schureman, who gave im rece'pts for it. Mr. Bishop addressed the committee on behalf of his client, stating that Besch had been through the ordeal of one examina- tion (meaning in the criminal court) and that the proper State and city authorities had been satisfied. He did not question the committee’s au- thority. but stated that he could eee no purpose to ‘be served except the gratifica- tion of public curiosity. —-- @ ----- BESCH REFUSED TO ANSWER. He Would Not Explain the “F. Muel- ler’? Mystery to the Committee. City Register Besch, on being sworn, tes- tified as follows: QY. Did you take a personal interest in the ap- ~wintment of F. Mueller as an inspector of sprink- ing during the year 1896?. A. I did. QY. His wife is in your employ and was at that time a cook at your restaurant? A. Yes Attorney Bishop arose and addressed the committee. He stated that while he did not appear before the cammittee as Mr. Besch's attorney, he would advise Mr. Besch not to answer questions along the line Mr. MeDonald evidently intended to proceed. He stated that the F. Mueller question had been gone into by the proper authorities and Mr. Besch had gone through the ordeal of that examination. He said he could see no reason for the ex- amination unless it Was to gratify public curiosity. Attorney McDonald stated .in reply to Mr. Bishop that he believed Mr. Besch had never made a statement of the matter and that the committee wanted to give Mr. Besch an opportunity to make such a statement; that the examination was for the purpose of determining whether cer- tain sums of,the city’s money had been i)- legally expended. Mr. McDonald then ad- dressed Mr. Besch: Now, I'll ask you, Mr. Besch, if you recognize this eaignature? (Showing a payroll.) A. No. Q. Teo you know the hand writing? A. Q. Ie it the handwriting of F. Mueller? refuse to answer Here Mr. Bishop interposed again and said he would have to advise Bescn not to answer questions of that kind. Mr. Me- Donald continued: Q. I will ask you, since you procured the appoint- ment of F. Muelter in 1S046, to what dist ct you assiened him? A. I don't know. Q. Will the records show? A. Perhaps. Q. Where was F. Mueller employed before you secured his appointment? I refuse to an- ewer. Mr. MeDonald, to the committee: Note these re fusals to anewer, they will have to be recorded. J whl ask you tf F. Mueller lived down in South St. Louls near you? A. I think so. From this point on Besch replied to each of the following questions, “I refuse to answer,” except where another reply ap- pears: Mr. McDonald showed witness the pay rolk of the Sprinkling Department purpor'- ing to be for services for the month ending April 30. 1896. and called attention to Nuel ler’s name end his credit for %83.33. He asked who signed on the margin, “Fred Mueller. by H. Besch.” Mr. Besch refused to answer. Pay rolis were then shown for Nor. 1896, signed F. Muelier, per G.

When he passed away, ae peacefully as a littie child sleeps, Thursday night, in his rooms at 710 S. Fourth st., there died as unique and yet as lovable a character as St. Louls has ever known. He died of pneumonia, to which malady erysipelas combined to harass the physi- clan, who labored hard to spare him to a great circle of friends Who are now mourning. They will feel “Old Togr’s” loss just as if he were oné of their own flesh and blood. It was a way Tom Gray had of making everybody he met like him and wish to cultivate the acquaintance. He came here in 1871, and from the day he placed foot in St. Louis to the day of his death he was unconsciously making firm friends. One week ago “Old Tom" walked into Faust’s restaurant, where he was as famil- lar a figure as Tony Faust himeelf and said he wasn't feeling well. His intimates, who extremely juvenile disposition and manner of dress laughed at him and told him he was tasting old age. Tom Gray ofily smiled, as he smiled whenever he was joked, and said it was not years he was feéeling, but a biting, burning pain in his chest. The next day he remained in bed. A doc- tor was called and he saw at once that Tom Gray had pneumonia. The patient seemingly progreseed toward recovery until Saturday night. Then erysipelas made its appearance. The doctor called in.a con- suiting physician. ving ay Badges they thought the old man was tter. li his friends thought so,.too. One of them who called, left him with the cheering predietion that they'd be drinking bock beer together within a week. The speech pleased Old Tom. He smiled faintly, but he didn't reply, for he was to weak. His smile was that of a man gratified by encouragement. He was loth to give up life and jolly companions, the men who had become so dear to him tliat he had never cared to remain aught but a bachelor. But in the afternoon Tom be- gan to sink. He became unconscious and remained so until death came in the even- ing. There was no one with him when he died save the professional nurse and Mr. and Mrs. John Meybahm, with whom Mr. Gray had lodgings. Tom Gray was born in Belfast, Ireland, &> years ago. He wae of Scottish descent. His father was one of the leading jewelers in Belfast and when Tom was entering manhood his father sent him to London to learn the same trade. The young man did not care for trade, and listening to the words of friends sailed for America. He landed in Philadelphia in 1860, and remained in that city until the closing of the civil war, when he received an appointment to the Quartermaster's ee and went to Dakota with one of the regular regi- ments. Tom Gray come to St. Louis itn 1860, work- ing in a clerical capacity for the por ack- ing firm of Hamilton & Bartéll until 1871. In that year he entered the service of R. G. Dun & Co.'s, the mercantilé agents. C. B. Smith, the present manager of the firm's Bt. ‘Louts office, James Horrocks and John 8. Griffin began in the employment of R. a. Dun & Co, at the same time. Tom Gray is the firet of these four old timers to leave the service. Down in the R. G. Dun office he was known es “The Statistician.’ His was a responsible .position, made doubly so by reagon of his remarkable aptitude for deal- ing with and remembering figures. When his health began to fail @ year or so ago, Old .Tom's duties were considerably ight- ened by his employers, so that recently he had not been closely confined to his oftice, Still they thought so highly of him ‘that his comfortable salary was paid just the same, which, with an income receivod ¢juar- terly from an estate in Ireland,( enabied him to live in comparative luxury. m Gray, who was a compound of Oharlies O'Malley tn his wit and lightness of heart, and of Baron Chevrial in his love of dress and the company of enter- taining men and women, was never sensi- tive about his aga He looked 4 or 50 until one caught a close view of him.

She took part in the mass said at 6 o'clock this. morning. and on ‘the scaffold shook hands with the hangman without a tremor of fear. The crowd inside the jail jeered at her, but even then her composure did not de- sert her, and at the suggestion of the exe- cutioner, she turned and faced the jeerers, and stood erect and prayed to the last.

Outside the jail there were 200 others who, with @ beam, tried to batter down the gate of the jail yard and could only be made to desist by the Provincial police firing their revolvers. The behavior of the crowd Inside was such that one of the priests, Rev. Father Meloche, had to re- prove them from the scaffold. Mrs. Cordelia Poirer and Samuel Parslow, her reputed lover, were hanged for the murder of Isidore Poirer. the woman's husband, in 1887. The crfme was committed in the Poirier thhome in St. Canute, Quebec. Mrs. Polrer, who was 33 years of age, was the organist of the Roman Catholic Churoh at. St. Jerome, where Parslow sang in the choir. Both prisoners confessed their guilt, each seeking to put the blame on the other. The woman was in love with Parslow and, according to her testimony given at her trial, urged him to kill her husband. y. bot attacked Potirer, Parslow slashing him with a knife, while Cordelia held his. hands. Cordelia went to church, in which she was organist, as usual and again played the ofgan. After church she drove four miles to visit some friends where she stayed un- til Sunday, when she returned to the house and pretended to make the sudden dis- covery of her husband's body. Parslow almost escaped custody yester- day by cleverly removing one of the bare of his cell window. He was captured in the corridor and under the flooring of the cell there was found a large hook, shaped like an “‘3S."" There was also a stone and a knife. . The prisoners made new confessions last night, declaring they had jointly committed the crime, and that #1] the facts sworn to by witnesses at the trial were true. The woman asked as a last favor, that her parlor organ be brought into the jail so that she might play and sing the musi- cal part of her_own death service, but the request was refused.

With Senses Reeling He Dragged Him- self to the Depot, Prevented «a Collision and Then Fell Unconscious. Special to the Post-Dispatch. EDWARDSVILLE, Il., March .—John F. Dickman, mangled and bruised, is the hero of Peters, and there is none to gain- say his right to the title. Three days ago he was a plain telegraph operator; now he| is regarded by the people of Mad‘son Coun- ty as the gamest man of the vicinity. Dickman is agent of the Clover Leaf at Peters, a small station below this place. Wednesday night he was in his office when he heard his station call sound, followed by the character “9” and a train-order for a jocal freight on a siding to remain at the station. Dickman started across the yard to take the order to the engineer of the local and failed to notice a through freight which struck him fa‘rly and hurled him # feet from the track. When consciousness returned to him as he lay on the cinders of the yard his first thought was to his duty. The crew of the local had not seen the accident and the train had moved out. There was no help for it. the train men were gone and he must in some way by h's own efforts reach the kéey and ‘hold a train, which otherwise would soon leave peasen yard and collide with the Peters freight. He dragged himself, inch r inch, across the platform and reached the operator's desk abmost fainting... He would have lost consciousness had not his brother, Wiliam Dickman, 4 farener, As anaes entered the depot and caught him. With his brother holding him in h‘s arms Dickman opened the key, “O. 8. ‘ed the through fre t and notified the chief ais- patcher at Charleston of the departure of the local. and then, his auty done, prompt- ly fainted. Ws skull is fractured, but he may re- cover. ' a ITEMS FROM ABOUT TOWN, Credit Men.—St. Louis credit men met at the Mercantile Club Thursday even- ing.

The object was robbery. Roesel had worked for Pitts. who was reputed to be wealthy. He ‘eft the farm and went to New York several months be- fore the crime. There he met Manshanda, and the crime was planned in a Bowery lodging house. Pitta lived alone, except for Mary Davie, a @goloréed woman who kept house for him. The plan was to beat out the brains of both and ransack the house at leisure. The plan failed through a misdirected blow, but Pitts was killed. Both men confessed, but the State accepted Manshanda as State’s evidence and convicted Roese: Manshanda was sent to State’s prison for 20 veara. WENT TO DEATH SMILING.

That nothing is wanted but weather to start the real estate market is indicated by an important transaction which has just been completed whercby Mr. W. L. Huse, represented by the Black- welder-Holbrook Realty Co., purchased the leasehold on the southeast corner of Wasn- ington av. and Ninth st. for $14,000 cash. The owners of the lease, the Interstate Investment Co., were represented by the Willlam A. Rutledge Real Estate Co. and Mr. Eli R. Offutt. The property has 48 feet 8 ' Washington av. and 7% feet on Ninth st. Feb. 1, 1892, Mr. Louts Bernero, the owner of the fee. leased it for # years at 34010 a year to the Interstate Investment Co. The ground rent was low because there was an old lease in existence at the tme, which was bought out and reissued. The leasing corporation erected the handsome eight- story brick and stone building whicn Dew occuples the site, making ‘it suitable for modern commercial purposes, and eased it to the Kelley-Goodfellow Shoe Co., the present occupants, for $12,600 per year. The taxes, insurance and ground rent are $6210 a year. This leaves Mr. Huse $4890 pet income, or ab@ut 6% per cent on the pur chase arice. Another Good Transaction.

Witness testified that Schuremann and Besch said harm would come to him if he did not let go his contract. It was then let to Heman for $2200. Pohiman’'s bid was $1732. He was a bidder tin the District No. 27 letting, and etated that he was offered $200 by Reichman to stay off. This he said he refused. @tahl got the contract at $2%0. Pohiman’s bid was $1833. Stahl didn’t sprin- kle. Reichman did the sprinkling till the last of March. Then witness found tn the district Herman Felbush’s wagons, painted over with Reichman'’s name on them. He heard Reichman paid $600 for them. A recess was here taken unt&# 2 o'clock. WHAT BELL PAID HIS ATTORNEY. Some Fees Incident to the Excise Com. missioner’s Office. Nicholas M. Bell, who was Higgins’ pre- decessor as Excite Commissioner, stated Friday that he had paid attorney's fees to Leverett Bell to about the amount of $5000, as stated by ex-Gov. Stone on the witness stand Thursday. “T don’t remember the exact amount,” said Mr. Bell. “It may have reached $5009. Il had no contract with Mr. Bell. He was my consulting attorney. I remember one fee of $100 I paid him for eervices in try- ing to force the St. Louis Club to pay a dramshop license. ‘The State makes no provision for at- torneys’ fees or attorneys’ services for the Excise Commissioner of St. Louis. The ap- pointee to the office is allowed sufficient compensation to enforce the dramsrhop lw. To do this the services of counsel] are re- quired. In_ addition to Mr. Beli I had the services of Martin & Bass, who prose- cuted delinquents tn the court. Attorneys’ fees are not paid by the Excise Commis- sioner for the pu of increasing his fees by atrictly enforcing the law. It is evident that would be a losing venture when I spent $1000 in endeavoring to make the half dozen ciubs im the city pay the license, which would have netted me bur each. “My record shows Sommitiee “ante to investigate — ———— —— 5 * “ Mrs. , ~ 4 : 7 30 3 3 St 2 4 Pal Ss F a td * ’ ae ee .

Teg Tye. man hunters of St. Louls know 0 well. On the 27th of January, 1886, he was arrested at the Southern Hotel by Detectives Lawler and Desmond and locked up at the Four Courts. On the way there he dropped a dirk knife out of his sleeve, the detectives had no bunco or case of any kind to hold him on, they sent him to the police court on a charge of carry:ng concealed weapons. O'Brien swore in court that the knife d@'d mot belong to him, and that he had never seen it before dt was produced by the de- tectives in court, but Judge Cady fined him $10). It was clear that O’Brien had com- mitted perjury, and when he took an appeal from Judge Cady’s decision the police had a Warrant for perjury issued against him, but When the ap- al case came up before Judge Noonan, e preferred to take O’Br'en’s word to that of the detectives and released him. When the appeal case fell through, the perjury case was nolle prossed and O'Brien was turned loose to work other cities. His partner during most of his career tn the West was “Hungry Joe.’ Then he went Kast and made his ‘headquarters in New York City, They made a specialty of catch- ing country merchants visiting the city to buy goods, but often visited country towns themselves and also farmhouses, and they were almost invariably successful in their \games and were very seldom caught. Hun- , Joe, with his courtly manners, would stop a farmer and offer to buy his horse, for which he professed to have formed a sudden attachment. The farmer. would agree ot sell him, perhaps for $100. Before Joe would pay the money, however, O'Brien would come trudging along the road and become suddenly interested in the horse eale. He, too, would express a great ad- miration for the animal, and would remark that he wished he had been a little earlier. as he would have given $200 for it. This would naturally annoy the farmer, and Joe would offer to sell the horse back to The farmer for $18, who, would, in turn, sell it to O’Brien for $200, and thus ag!! satisfied. This’ having been 4 to the"three.men would adjourn to the home of the farmer, and when the lat- ter would produce his money to pay Joe his bonus the two thieves would forcibly re- lieve him of his wallet and escape. When O’Brien was working alone he caused innumerable farmers to sign re- ceipts for lightning rods, which turned out to be promissory notes. He also sold a great many lottery tickets for a lottery which did not exist. It was in these cross-roads that O'Brien made most of his money. His winnings were in each case very small, but in $y cases out of 100 the farmer would prefer to pocket his loss than become the laughing etock of the neighborhood. O'Brien is known to have worked whole counties in this way and never have a charge preferred against him, For his bucolic tastes he gained the sobriquet among his profession- al acquaintances of the ‘Farmer's Friend.” In his last big haul in the United States O'Brien was assisted by George Past. and he himself sailed under the name of J. C. Burton. The victim was John M. Peck of Albany, N. Y., and they robbed him of $10,- 000. They got him into a game of cards and let him win that amount from them. and then insisted that he should prove that he Was an honest man. Burton was willing to pay up if assured that he had been play- ing with an honest man, but if Peck had had no money himself to pay with tn the event that he had lost, it would hardly be fair to ex t him, Burton, to pay up. To convince Burton that his credit was good for $10,000 at the Albany banks, Peck went to one of them and drew out $10,000 and re- turned to the room where Burton and Peck were. That was just what the bunco men wanted, and they were not long in getting possession of Peck’'s $1000. O’Brien was not caught until December, 1892, when he was arrested in London, England. He made a fight ainst being extradited, but the courts decided against him and he was brought back to America. He was tried and convicted anf given 10 years in the enifentiary. On the way to prieon at yracuse, N. Y., he got the Deputy Sheriff who had charge of him drunk and slipped his handcuffs and escaped. He made his at ag Bape and sailed for Paris where e shot and killed Ree W April 3 1895. d addell ANARCHISTS SAY THEY DID IT -——¢@ London Reds Brag of Having Caused the Toulon Explosion, Which Was Thought an Accident.

AMERICA WILL BE A FACTOR. —_———— DIPLOMATS WATCHING THE POL- IcY OF THIS COUNTRY. Russia Hopes the United States Wi!] Think Kindly of Her Early Friends and Uphold the Hands of the Czar and France. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 10.—"The United States may be perfectly sincere in saying that no cognizance will be taken offically of the Chinese embroglio, but the moment has come when all the great nations must group themselves in new and hitherto un- thought-of alliances,’’ said a leading diplo- mat to the Post-Dispatch correspondent to-day. “Russia fondly hopes that the United States, mindful of her early friends, wil: uphold the policy of the dual all'ance-the Muscovite Empire and the French Repub- lic. ; “But the alliance which would have the favor of the vast majority of the Ameri- can people would be a commercial uniier- Standing between Great Britain, Germany and the United States .-in regard ia “ninese trade. Such an alliance would have more reason for existence, and that group:ne ccr- tainly will follow another crisis in the far East. The friends of this policy are strong in their belief of its success.”’ The Chinese question continues to gross the profound attention of Washing- ton diplomats. Althought Great Britain and Germany are vitally interested in what America will do, neither the Br-.tish nor the German Ambassador will talk. But it ts jearned from a high authority at the State Depart- ment that both envoys are watchins our policy with the utmost vigilance and will speak in behalf of their governments when the time comes. WAY TO RAISE $60,600,000. Secretary Gage Is Authorized to Sell Certain Securities. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 10. — Secretary Gage has been provided a way to cover over $60,000,000 of the deficit that is accu- mulating at the Treasury. Buried in the sundry civil bill is an enactment which au- thorizes the Secretary to sell securities held by the “Government, from which neariy that amount can be realized. The estimated deficit for the remainder of the present fiscal year as fixed by Secretary Gage is $38,000,000, although ii will largely exceed that figure. But the pro- vision by which $60,000,000 can be imm.di- ately made available in cash is expected to meet this estimated deficit and leave more than $20,000,000 for unforesecn emer- gencies. ) The total indebtedness due tha Govern- ment by the Central Pacific is $58.812,725.48. This amount is represented by twenty notes, four of which, aggregating $12,v0,- 000. will soon be redeemed. Of the other notes, one falls due every six months. The Secretary of the Treasury now has discretionary power to dispose of these obligations to or through any New York banking institution for cash, whicn can be immediately utilized in meeting current ex- penditures, thereby forestalling nearly $60, - 000,000 anticipated deficit. This arrangement is regarded as prefera- ble to the bond sales made during the Cleveland regime. Such sales were per- mitted under the resumption ac*, which provides that resultant funds can used only to preserve the integrity of the gold reserve, and not to meet ordinary govern- mental expenses. No stipulation of thut character applies to funds obtained by tne sale of Central Pacific obligations. THIRTEEN MINERS BURNED. Injuries of Two of the Men May Cause Death.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. ‘March 10.—Senator Baxter has amended his anti-trust bill. The following was offered ‘by him and passed without dissent: “Provided. That nothing contained in sec- tion 1, or any section of this act, shall be so construed as to forbid, prohibit or inter- fere with the organization and operation of trade unions, the official acts and dealings ofe the officers and members of such. Nor shall this section or any sec- tion of this act be so construed as to for- bid, prohibit, or interfere with any mutual arrangement entered into for maintaining peaceful or prosperous relations between employers and employes.”’ The bill introduced by Senator Bolinger, providing for the licensing of Keepers of river landings, failed to pass—yeas lj, nays 13. Senator Chapman objected to its pas- sage. The proviso or Senate passed among others: Senator providing that mutual ance companies may do business in 2% counties. ‘Senator Berry’s bill amending the law providing for the organization of fire, marine and inland navigation compan- ies, so as to make it conform to the act creating the insurance department. The House passed unanimously the Dill making an appropriation of 6§250,000- to pay the Illinois volunteer soldiers the dif- ference between the pay of the State and the pay of the National Government, from the date of their enrolllment to the date of their muster into the United States ser- vice for the Spanish war. Another bill appropriating $65,000 to pay for supplies of drugs, clothing, etc., pur- chased for the volunteers during their en- campment at Springfield, was passed by a unanimous vote. Mr. Curtis introduced a bill creating the office of State Kngineer and Surveyor, to be appointed by the Governor, at a salary of $2000. The surprise of the session was the House concurring in the Senate resolution fixing April 14 as the date of final adjourn- ment. The vote was yeas 57, nays 48. A motion to reconsider the resolution will be made. There is no assurance that it will prevail, and the session may come to an end on the 14th of April. If it does, this will be the shortest session since the adoption of the present constitution, nearly 30 years ago. During the past 20 years no session has ended earlier than ‘May 28, and most of them have run, far into June. The Tippitt resolution calling upon sec- retaries of State Boards to furnish staie- ments of the receipts and’ expenditures of institutions was defeated by the House ad- journing. Gov. Tanner sent a message io both houses calling attention to the condition of the Lincoln monument, and recommending an apropriation of $100,000 for its recon- struction. The message says that the obe- lisk rests upon solid rock and is safe, vut all other footings, those of the terrace, the steps, the catacomb and memorial hail were excavated in clay, and, as the monument stands on the brink of a hill, thece has been a gradual movement of these founda- tions and the terrace walls. “Under these circumstances,” says the message, “it is apparent that it is only a question of time when the monument will become a ruin, if steps are not taken to prevent such a ef- ey pe : The Legislature is expected to make the appropriation.

SPRINGFIELD, Iil., March 10.—The House Committee on Revenue has reported favorably three bills imposing a tax of 2 per cent on the gross receipts of sleeping car, insurance and express companies.

Crazed Inventor Gets Into Jail by His Letter Writing. CLEVELAND, March 10.—The arrest of Ek. S. Greensted of this city yesterday is explained by a letter which was dictated to a stenographer and by him turned over to the police, in Which Greensted addressed President McKinley and deciares that the Supreme Ruler of the universe has given him a capital of $10,000,000 which will re- turn a percentage of 5300 per cent. This, he says, will make him worth over $500,000,000 in five years and the most powerful man that the world has ever seen. Then he de- clares: “You have prostituted the rights of your country and its people to the Catholic clergy. As a punishment for your crime, I shall put you on board one of our men-ot- war and transfer you from one vessel to another tjll God, in His Infinite mercy, shall end your miserable life, when you shall be buried at sea with a 100-pound shot at vour feet. If you will put a stop to the war in the Philippines immediately upon re- ceipt of this letter I will allow your wife to accompany you on your journey. If you re- fuse your life will be © solitary one.”’ Greensted has issueu a card in which he Savs: “In the last two months I have com- pleted 10 inventions, working, from 16 to 18 hours per day, and my brain has partially given way under the strain, which accounts for the crazy letter I sent ta President Mc- Kinley.”’ Greensted will be examined, M’NALL WILL BE OUSTED. He Says He Will Refute Charges, but Has No Hope. TOPBHRKA, Kan., March 10.—Charges against Insurance Commissioner Webb Mc- Nall have been filed with Gov. Stanley, by Arthur Capper, publisher of the Topeka Mall and Breeze, who charges MeNall with misconduct in office, oppression and boodling.

She Is Now Satisfied and Has Only Pity for the Convicted Black- mailer, ALBANY, N. Y., March 10.—It is general- lv expected that through the magnanimous pleading of Miss Helen Gould, the com- nliaining witness in the case, Mrs. Margaret E. Cody, who was last night found guilty of attempted blackmail, will be allowed to go free, without punishment, The jury was. out eight hours and no sooner was the verdict of guilty announced than ‘M‘ss Helen Gould set about to obtain the freedom of the aged convict. She urged, now that all doubt that her father did not marry Mrs. Angell is removed, that Mrs. Cody be not punished further. Mrs. Cody, who remained in her chair in the court room most of the afternoon, after the court adjourned, waiting to hear her fate, all but fainted when she heard the verdict. It was a quarter of an hour before she had recovered sufficiently to allow herself to be conducted back to jail. (Mrs. Cody was conv:cted last fall, but ap- pealed, and much the same ground has been covered during the present trial as formerly. An alleged early marriage of the late Jay Gould to Sarah Ann Angell of Rouse’s Point caused the trouble. Mrs. Cody, while living in Denver, heard of this alleged mar- ital venture of Mr. Gould and became in- terested in it. Pursuing her inquiries, she professed to have found evidence to sup- port the claim. It was said that after Jay Gould deserted the Angell woman the latter gave birth to a daughter. Thi's child was adopted by a couple, who subsequently re- moved to Missouri. There the girl was raised, and later she married a Mr. Pierce, now a member of the Wyoming Legislature ' and living at Green Valley, Wyo. When she had gathered these statements Mrs. Cody took the newspapers into her confidence and eventually secured the co- operation of Mrs. Angell. Some time afterward, when the papefs in the case had been prepared. Mrs. Cody wrote to George Gould, suggesting that he m'ght wish to save the family name from a grave scandal. The forging of a record of mirth and the various other features of the trial were merely incidents. Mrs. Cody, it was shown during the trial, had enlisted the support of various persons by promising to them a portion of the for- tune which she was to receive from mem- bers of the Gould family.

The ques Actress at the Very Zenith of Success, It Is Said, Is to Be Confronted by Suit. NEW YORK, March 10.—While Mrs. Jas. Brown Potter has all theatrical London at her feet as Miladi in ‘“Nhe Three Musket- eers,”’ .her husband, it is presumed, is pre- paring on this side of the ocean to sue for divorcee. There is even already talk of a probable new Mrs. Potter, who is gaid to be wealthy and is credited with having re- fused persons of title both in England and on the Continent, Mrs. Potter has come under the h fa- vor of the Prince of. Wales. Her co y has been sought by the lish society and she might easily forget James Brown Potter, but unfortunately for the com- plete happiness in her glory, she has a daughter, Miss Fifi Potter, a charming young woman, who is now 19 years of age, who lives with her father. When Mrs. Potter was in New York last she met in the street this daughter. Mrs. Potter approached the ung woman im- pulsively and begged her to leave her fa- ther. Miss Potter turned her back upon her pleading parent and walked away. The will of Howard Potter, the million- aire father of James Brown Potter, cut off Mrs, Potter, but remembered the daugh- ter. Mrs. Potter is the daughter of Col. David Urquhart of Louisiana, Mrs. Potter made her professional debut in London at the Haymarket Theater on March 29, 1887, as Anne Silvester in Wilkle Collins’ “Man and Wife.’’ The mee of Wales was in a box, and after the play he showered other compliments upon her. MONITOR WAS NEARLY LOST. Imperfect Fitting of Pipes All but Caused an Explosion. NORFOLK, Va., March 10.—The monitor Amphitrite narrowly escaped an explosion through the imperfect putting together of parts of tts machinery whieh had been , led at the Boston navy yard. OWre count it providential that we are not at the bottom of the sea,”’ said one of the sailors. ‘‘We left Boston Feb. 29, but had not proceeded far before it was discov- ered that parts of certain machinery which was overhauled at the Boston navy yard had been improperly put together. The necessary readjustment of the same was made and the monitor grpcoodes down the coast until off Sandy k, where it put in to esc a storm. “ae was while anchored here that what might have proved a disastrous explosion was narrowly averted by a machinist acci- dentaHy discovering that the pipes lead- ing from the evaporators where salt water is condensed through the bi ers were leaking. ad the discove made 30 minutes later there woul been great destruction and loss of life.

The Trouble Came Over the Resolution to Check the Introduction of New Legislation. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFDPRSON CITY. Mo, March 10.—The boasted harmony and smoothness of action which ‘has characterized ‘the proceedings of ihe Senate during this and preceding ees- sions of the Legislature has disappeared, not to return, In the opinion of many, dur- ing this session. The trouble arose over the method of pro- cedure in the revision of the statutes. This work must be begun soon if at all, and to this end Senator Wilson, Chairman cf the Revision Committee, offered tne following resolution: Resolved, By the Senate, the House, concurring therein, that the time bas arrived wheh the prac- tical work of revising the statutes should be made ibe paramount business of toe session, and that after the 15th day of March, 1800, po legislation of a geveral clyaracter, othner than such ae nay be nevessary to carry into effect and give force to the revision made by this Geveral Assembly, shall be encouraged by either branch thereof; and be it further : Kesolved, That the committees of Senate shall, from and after this gether as contemplated by the plan of revision neretofotre adopred, and press forward the bflis to revise apd amend the several chapters and sub- jects assigned to such committees considerigg all offered legislation germane thereto; and it is here by made the duty of the Joint Senate and Hovse (ommittee on Revision to recommend the ad.- vancement on the calendet of such bills as are bow or shall hereafter be reported from the several committees appearing to them to be of the most impertance, to the end that they may the 6 over be «disposed of in relation to their lucorporation In the revision, and report the resukt of their ac- tion to their respective bodies. Opposition to this resolution at once de- veloped. Senator Drabelle of St. Louts, Miiler of Worth and Lyons of Kansas City led the opposition, which was weak in num- bers, but great in pluck and endurance. The opposition claimed this resolution would turn over to the Joint Revision Committee the supreme autho:ity to direct the course of legislation. Before the debate had been on 15 min- utes it became personal, something unheard of before. The portrait of Thomas Jefer- son, behind the President's chair, nearly started from its frame at the unusual scene, Old “Andy” Jackson, pirouetting on his ri- diculous horse, seemed to wave his hat a litthe more wildly wt the prospect of a fight, while Henry Clay looked down admir- ingly from his place over the fireplace. Even George Washinaton, sedate, solemn, im- pressive, seemed aggrieved as he saw his children wrangling so viciously. it was an unusual scene for the Senate, and at- tracted crowds. Senator Lyons did not hesitate to declare that the resolution Was a scheme hatched by the Revision. Committee in order that they might push forward their bills to the exclusion of others. This’ provoked a tart rejoinder from Senator Farris, and for a moment it looked as though the lie would pass. Senator Haynes, in support of the reso- lution, made this cutting sentiment: “Any man with any sense,”’ he said, “‘or any ability to understand the English lan- guage, would have no trouble understand- ing the true import of this resolution.”’ Everybody stood aghast at the audacity of this reasm, Senator Drabelle sprang to his feet. “The Senator seems to imply,”’ he said tn a low, tense voice, “that the Revision Com- mittee and those who are supporting this resolution have a monopoly on all] the brains in the Senate.’’ “If that is true,” replied Senator Haynes, coolly, ‘“‘we are not to blame for it.” Senator Morton hadn’t much to say until he was worn out by the opposition to the resolution.

Mr. Kirkpatrick Was & Rhilway Mail Clerk and Died of Consumption— But Dick Doesn’t Know It. isin Alittle boy with big blue eyes ang flaxen hair sat in a big chair in Capt. Reynold s office in the Central District Police Sta- 4 tion most of Thursday afternoon. He was a bright little fellow, only 3 years old, and he was not a bit frightened by the strange surroundings. He wore knee trousers; a little velveteen cap was placed jauntily on the back of his head, only par- tially concealing a wealth of gulden hair with a strong inclination to curl. The boy was little 3-year-old Dick Kirk- patrick, who wandered away from his home at 1705 Hickory st. early Thursday morning and was found by a Central District police- man, who escorted him to the Four Courts Building. The little fellow could not tell his name nor where he lived. He laughed and played with the police- men and ate heartily of the peanuts and apples that Capt. Reynolds’ men supplied him. .No tears dimmed his big blue eyes and the healthy glow on ‘his cheeks told of his perfect health. He was neatly dressed and the police knew that some home was distressed because of the child’s absence, A description of the boy was telephoned to all districts. It was 4 o’dlock when a woman rushed into the captain’s office. She had not taken as much pains with ‘her toilet as she ordt- narily d.d. That could be seen at a glance. she paused at the door for a moment, and then spying the little boy in the big chair she rushed across the floor to him, and, grabbing him. in her arms, pressed him to her ‘bosom. Little Dick's roguish eyes twinkled and he put his) chubby arms around his mother’s neck and kissed her, Then he settled back in the big arm chair, and, dangling his fat little legs over the seat, resumed ‘his feast of apples and pea- nuts while (Mrs. Kirkpatrick talked to the desk sergeant. “My name is Mrs. S. A. Kirkpatrick,” she said ‘“‘and little Dick here is my only child. I have been frightened all day, ever since he d'isappeared, and I’ve told every. olceman I met what I was searching for. When I was told that a littie lost boy was here you may rest assured I| lost no time getting here. I feel so much relieved. And yet I felt he was safe. “He has been lost several times before. Every time he gets an opportunity he goes down to the Highteenth st. bridge and then he does not know the way back home. You eee, it was there he used to see his father and it was there he last saw him alive. Mr. Kirkpatrick was a railway mail clerk and his run was out of Union Sta- tion. Dick was the idol of my husband's life and I used to take the baby down to the bridge and stand there as the train went by. My husband would stand in the door of the mail car and wave to us as his train sped out. “Then he got sick. Consumption fast- ened upon him. He worked until there was no doubt of what ailed him and then he decided to go away in search of health. That was six months ago. We took up our station on the bridge, little Dick and I,” and asahe train went out my husband, wan and thin, stood in the mail car door and waved us farewell. I did not know then} that it was an eternal farewell. “Poor Little Dick does not know it yet and whenever he gets an opportunity he runs away to ‘see papa as he goes by.’ ”’ POPE SIDED WITH IRELAND. The Original Draft of the Letter to Gibbons Was Greatly Changed. ROME, March 10.—The Pope® letter to Cardinal Gibbons was prepared by Cardinal Satolli and Cardinal Camillo Mazzella (pre- fect of the congregation of Sacred Rights), both of whom are strong enemies of Car dinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland, and the letter was an absolute condenmination in the original of all American tendencies. The Pope and Cardinal Rampolla (papal Secretary of State) cut, expurgated and added to the draft, until it was unrecog- n-zable by the authors. Neither side is completely satisfied, but the real victory is with the Americans, and it is said that thé red hat will be bestowed on Archbish Ireland as a mark of the Pope’s approval In an dnterview here Archibishop Ireland explained this attitude towards ‘‘Hecker- ism’’ by saying: “TL knew (Pather Hecker well, and like other great minds, he had views peculiar to ‘himself. One of these was the direct in- siration of the Holy Ghost. This appar- ently daring doctrine meant little more than that godly help ds not wanting to those displaying init:ative. I frequently told him he was ambiguous and woul be misunder- stood, and this has happened.”’ Archbishop Ireland, proceedi to ¢x- plain the importance attach to the natural virtues, said: “We maintain especially regarding. the clergy that temperance and truthfulness, for instance, are so necessafy that they can not be replaced by any purely devot'onal fidelity. An intemperate priest sterilizes his mission. A priest who stretches per- sonal casuistry to prevarication and mem- tal reserve only justifies the enemies of the church in affirmations which, though false, are heard far and wide.”’ The Archbishop then warmiy protested against what he described as the ground- less charge that he is inimical to the re- ligious orders.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. Atrocious Killing of an Old Resident of Brooklyn, Ill., Recalled by Court Proceedings. of Willliam and Lulu Lay, charged with the murder of Mrs. Sarah Winn at Brooklyn, Nov. 26, 1898, is in progress in the Circuit Court at Belleville. Thursday was consumed in getting a jury. The taking of evidence began Friday morning. The State is regarded to have a strong circumstantial case. The knife with which the deed was done has been identified as one she sold to the Lays. Garments etained with what appears to be blood were found at the home of the Lays. One of these, a coat with both sleeves torn off at the el- bow as though in a struggle, is now being subjected to a chemical test to determine whether the stains are human blood. The Lays are defended by Attorney F. H. Krueger. He is confident of being able to raise at least strong doubt as to the guilt of the couple. The credibility of the testimony of Belle Hanson, who says she sold the knife to the Lays, will be attacked. Belle is a no- torious negress who has often been in the Belleville jail. Wie The murder of Mrs. Winn was blooded. She lived alone in one room, owned much property in Brooklyn and was eupposed to keep a great deal of money about her. On the morning of Nov. 26, after she had ‘been missed a couple of days, she was found in her room with her throat cut. Suspicion was drawn to the Lays be- cause of their show of unnonted prosperity. They were arrested soon after. HAS THE DRESS AND BONNET. But James Spencer Denies That He Stole Them From Mrs. McGee.

The first report recites that at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon Elcey Null, 4 years old, was standing at the east end of barn No. 2 of the Hydraulic Press Brick Company, at King’s highway and the Fr'sco ra‘lroad tracks, watch.ng the ponderous machinery converting skmy mud into compact, symmetrical bricks, The boy become so in- tent on the process that he did not notice that he was getting dangerously close to a rapi@dly revolving shaft. ‘Without warning bis coat was caught by the shaft and a set screw.

Have you ever noted the development of a hard, green cone, suggestive only of acrid odors and bitter flavors, into a rosebud, redolent of perfume, and swelling with the promise of a glorious maturity? That is Beatrix, Prin- cess Moya, “The Termagant,”’ as shown by (Miss Nethersole. The bud is plucked before it blossoms into full flower, ‘but buds so plucked live longer in the memory than those that are permitted to develop, wither and die on the parent stem. The play is by Louts N. Parker and Mur- ray Carson, authors of “Rosemary.” It ts like “‘Rosemary” in that it shows the development of a love that has no fleshly fruition. In the new play the quickened heart is that of a woman who dies when the knowledge comes to her that the aliter- native is life without her chosen mate; in ‘“‘Rosemary” it is a man who loves and loses, and he lives on and on and is brought back to us 60 years later to show how the sorrow of a lifetime can be endured. With- out discussing which is the better and braver ending, it may be said that each is suitable to the temperament and traditions of the man or the woman who makes it. Beatrix is a girl, hot-blooded, imperious self-willed, dangerous to herself and others. There is love in her breast. The velvelt petals of the forming rose are swelling and straining within the bounds of their green casing. She is petulant and fierce but the mating istinct is asserting itselfy She as- sembles her maidens and her couftiers and holds a court of love in front of her palace. From each maid she draws a heart secret and she pairs her off with the gallant of her choice. There is no love for her. She wants none she thinks; she is ‘“The Terma- gant,’’ an entity sufficient into itself. Then }comes the news that Roderigo, hero, man- ner and gallant is approaching. It has been sald that he is a man. given to brave apparel as to daring deeds. He shall see that “‘The Termagant’’ can match him in the way of myrrh and fine linen. She retires to put hereelf in the hands of her tiring woman. Roderigo comes, bearded and roughly clad, a striking contrast to the dainty perfumed gallants of the court. But he has the gift of eloquence. He tells the maids and courtiers of the wonders he has seen. They are spellbound. Beatrix enters regally clad, a dream of loveliness. Rod- erigo is struck dumb by admiration. His appearance is a shock tothe Princess. Her temper is roused. Her ready tongue gives vent to her wrath. She excariates Roderigo. He pays no heed to her words but tells her he loves her; the. first man who ever dared to do so. She sweeps into the palace, issues stern orders that the maids retire to their chambers and that the courtiers shall drive the insolent ‘‘sea monster’ from her grounds; there will be no more of love in her court. Doderigo doesn’t leave. Aided by his trusty servant he makes a fresh toilet and from a ‘‘sea monster’ becomes a mould of fashion. The courtiers try to drive him from the palace grounds but are vanquished with ease. Now comes The Termagant and confesses to her image in the fountain that the ‘‘sea monster’ was a delightful creature. The bud has burst its shell and the soft petals are pushing the riven green casing back. Roderigo overhears her and reveals himself. Her maiden pride is of- fended. He woos her deftly and boldly and she confesses she loves him either as a eS or aS a sea monster. He kisses her. t is evidently the kiss of a man to the maid of his heart. It reveals new depths to her. There is a “flush on the peta! tips.” She repulees him and is ashamed but is glad to be ashamed. Then comes the tragedy. Jealousy and a poison ring bring it about. Roderigo goes away from Beatrix. She learns that cir- cumstances have deceived her and sends for him. The bud is developed. The green- ness and hardnesé are gone. In their place there are softness and perfumme—the bud will be a rose of surpassing beauty. The messengers return with Roderigo.

Prof. Selby ihe chief botanist of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station at Wooster, O., who has been in St. Louis for some weeks. said in the Sunday Post-Dispatch: “The botany of Shaw's Garden is the botany of the world. There is no plant of any clime that is not there.” How many St. Louisans know that? How many students go elsewhere for training in botany. not knowing that better opportunities are open to them right here at home. One of the best testimonials to the business solidity of St. Louis and to ‘is advantages as a field for the great and sound growth of a well conducted business concern is the golden jubilee of Barr's, which is cclebrated to-day. The sub- Stantiai progress of St. Louis within 50 years is well illus- trate by the growth of Barr’s from a small store to a great emporium.

In passing the Police Bill as it came from the Senate the House did an unwise thing. The bill confers too great powers upon the Board of Police Commissioners, and the Democrats of St. Louis and the State may have cause to regret it. These new powers bring additional responsibilities. The Po- lice Commissioners and the Governor who appoints them must answer for the «xercise of the powers. They will be held to ac- count. If the increased responsibility shall bring great care in the selection of Police Commissioners and a higher standard of duty cn the part of the Commissioners the new law will have compensations, Good Police Commissioners who would manage the police with an eye single to economy and efficiency would make a worse law satisfactory. , Under the new law all of the responsibility will rest upon the Governor. If the power is abused or the city looted the people will know whose fault it is. thing in the Philippines. What we need in the way of colonies, if we need any at all, is a place where workingmen and men of small means may have an opportunity to improve their con- dition. Great capital and the cheap native labor will naturally come together in our new islands. Great Britain's already heavy income tax is likely to be in- creased by her large naval expenditures. Our own expansion seems to be leading in the direction of an income tax for the United States. Military and naval preparations always mean more taxes and frequently a good deal of death. Now that New Jersey finds that her own ox {s being gored, she is taking up arms against the trusts. Americans had begun the European monarchies, but they may change their minds if the trusts make it too troublesome for that State. oo If Dewey’s hair is snowy white, his face ashen. and his strength failing, he should be immediately ordered home.

She communicated it to the el- derly lady without.a husband, who again imparted it to the lawyer's wife, a happy with four unmarried daughters, ' mother, ; and, alas! still am, the of whom 1 was, youngest. The elderly lady with a husband pre- vailed upon that appendage to gather frult; and such was his good will that he arose at 6 o’clock in the morning from h.s com- fortable couch to obey her behest. He appeared at breakfast with lacerated hands and a perspiring frame; but his zeal sent him back to the garden the moment he had satisfied he appetite. The elderly lady without a husband, hav- ing lost what the elaerty lady with a hus- band possessed, was fain to help her cook with her own fair fingers. The iawyer's wife’s four daughters were pressed into their mother’s service, and most unwiil- ingly plunged their tingers into the tortur- ing bushes. After the picking was over the three ladies were divided in opinion as to wheth- er the berries should be crushed, halved or left whole, each one following her own conviction. The writer of this has an un- pleasant recollection of standing for four | hours while she cut every gooseberry clean through the middle, according to her moth- er’s d.rections. In due time casks, and the _—— ll LLL LLL: Nt eee al tt tl the wine was put into the casks were rendered air- (tight until the fotlowing spring, when the sparkling contents were bottled and «towed in their different cellars. My mother, I remember, was the happy possessor of six dozen; the elderly lady | without .a husband had two dozen less; / but the elderly lady with a husband car- ried off the palm of quantity, no less than | 12 dozen of this homely liquor. — But while the wine was yet in the casks |there came to our village a young man with an unmistakable air of gentility about him. He had no occupation, yet his at- itire was good in quality and tautless in ‘cut. His purse appeared well lined and | quickly emptied. | It was whispered by some that he was an member of a very high family, and had quarreled with his relations all around, so that was how he come to Set- ‘tle in our quiet neighborhood. Others, more maliciously disposed, averred that he was a first-class burgiar. My sisters and I believed in the first- mentioned version of the mystery, perhaps | because it was romantic and suited to our girlish imaginations. He was invited to our village soirees once or twice a week, and as he always sought me out the moment he entered the room, Il was a target for all the envenomed darts from. the bows of the other giris. Meanwhile, the gooseberry wine had been bottled and pronounced excellent by the select few who tasted it; all the bottles eccentric | } ' | | were sealed until the following winter. The festivities of the dark scason were ushered in by a small dance, iven by the elderly lady with a husband. Every one was invited, even the unknowa”a, Al- though our hostess looked on him with anything but favor. The entertainment seemed meant to in- augurate the goseberry wine rather than anything else, for instead of champagne our glasses were frequently filled with this home production. Our hostess, with a beaming countenance, told us that she wished the rising genera- tion to patronize this harmless beverage rather than its more potent reality. The unknown and I, after one waltz, strolled away to the conservatory. When we were alone he looked at me with spark- ling eyes and flushed cheeks, gently press- ing my hand with his arm at the same t«me. ‘‘Dearest,”” he whispered, ‘‘may I nope that some day you will allow me [to claim this dear hand as mine?’ I blushed as became a surprised maiden; although the only wonder I felt was that he had not asked me before. I murmured “‘Yes”’ in my most dulcet ac- cents, and immediately received his reward for my acquiescence. My heart bounded in response toa knock at the front door, soon after breakfast the next morning. I knew it was the unknown’'s hand that had wielded the ponderous bronze ring. I heard in my distant dormi- tory the door opened and closed, and then there was a pause. Next a quick step on the stair, a gentile tap on my own door, and the entrance of the housemaid bearing a car The piece of pasteboard bore my love's name, and at the ‘back, in the penciled letters, this short sentence, ‘‘Will you spare me a few minutes?’ Not very loverlike, certainly; but I clothed it in love’s own language. When I entered the drawing room I found the unknown impatiently drumming his fingers on the window. The face he turned to- ward meg was grave, not to say gloomy; but still unsuspicious. I went toward him with a gay welcome on my lips. He shook hands, certainly, but very considerately. ‘IT have sent for you,”’ he said, “‘to—to— Dash it! I don’t know how to put what I am going to say. It is most confoundedly awkward. The fact ts I had no right to ask you to be my wife last night, for I cannot marry if I would.’’ “Why did you, then?’ 1 asked coldly. “Well, to tell you the truth, it was that deuced wine at supper that did it. It went to my head at once, and the waltz after- ward finished the business. I am come to throw myself on your generosity. My in- come dies with me if I marry, and as I have no profession I must keep single.”’ “Gol” exclaimed I, with a_ withering look, and pointing to the door. He obeyed me and went, and left most miserable of beings behind him.

AYOR'S SPRING SLATE —_—_- HIS LIST OF APPOINTMENTS AFT. ER THE ELECTIONS. HE IS IN NEED OF NEW FRIENDS. One of the Reasons Why the City Re- publican Committee Nominated the Council Ticket. Of all the men under consideration for appointment to the various municipal of- fices next month, but four are quoted at the City Hall as sure. For valuable services rendered both in the Mayoralty campaign and in the office, Dr. Max C. Starkloff is said to be again ap- pointed City Health Commissioner. : City Counselor Schnurmacher is regarded as certain of reappointment. His-services to the administration in the past few months have made him too valuable a man to lose. Second Assistant Counselor Car] Ungar is on the slate to remain, notwithstanding the opposition to him of Election Commis- sioner Julius Wurzburger. Mr. Ungar has been urged again this spring to ask for a police judgeship—that of the Second Dis- trict preferred—but he declined and ex- pressed his desire to succeed himself. The fourth “‘sure thing’ named is Henry Alt, the Mayor’s brother-in-law. He is = ked as the next Commissioner of Sup- piles. Mike Forestel’s name is often heard in connection with the Park Commissionership or ns 4 Assessorship, but the report is not officially confirmed. Water Commissioner Holman is expected to succeed himself. The turning down of Dr. Amand Ravold, named for Superintendent of the City Hos- ital, has had a salutary effect. The doc- rs name was sent in for confirmation without any conference with the powers. The rebuke to this dictatorship was a vote of 9 to 2 against confirmation? Of the nine which declared so strongly against the Mayor only three leave the Council this spring, Messrs. Brinkmeyer, Hagan and Heckel. Mayor Zie hein needs 7 votes to put the slate through. With the six remaining who oppose gang methods he will require the Bu rt of the entire new delegation, It is con eon f predicted he will not get it. It would not do to arouse opposition now, and until Mr. Zigeecnhein gees the new Coun- cil the working’ of the slate will remain in statu quo, One store is the store for all MIN who want to buy good clothes at rea- sonable prices. The question of choice is the only difficulty that confronts the purchaser in OUR CUSTOM DEPARTMENT. The variety is almost an embarrass- ment. Spring Suits made to order from $20 to $50. MILLS & AVERILL, Broadway and Pine. CALAROOSE AT POORHOUSE. Superirtendent Oberbeck Has Proved the Necessity for It. Supt. Oberbeck of the Poorhouse wants a calaboose addition to that institution. He has consulted with Mayor Ziegenhein on the subject and the decision is reached that it should be strongly recommended in the report now being framed. “It has long been a necessity,” said Mr. Obecrbeck. “The city needs a cala- boose there and the welfare of the insti- tution demands it. At present all we can do when an inmate becomes unruly is to throw him out. What does he do? Wanders into town, on same’ old malady is sent to the City Hospital, and when released from there in a few days lands in the Work- house. The records of these three institu- tions show how the most undesirable pat- rons are continually making the rounds. If we had a calaboose and could punish the mutineers it would save the city money and trouwtble.’’ THEY SHOT AS THEY RAN. Policemen’s Running Fight With a Supposed Burglar. Patrolmen Finan and Bunting fought a running battle with « negro, supposed to be a burglar, at 3 o'clock Friday morning. The policemen saw two men apparently endeavoring to force an entrance the residence, 155 Washington av. They closed in on the men and commanded them to surrender. Dennis Healy, a white man, surrendered, but his. companion, a stout negro about 20 years old, ran. Finan chased the negro to Twelfth st. and Lucas av.. where he was lost sight of. During the chase Finan fired four shots a negro, who fired twice at the police- Private Watchman Ryan thinks the ne- ro is the same man he shot at twice on Olive st., between Fifteenth and Sixteenth “. ~ 1 » ag ty Friday morning. aly Says he and the negro, whose name he does not know, had been shooting craps.
