WilHs ought ‘to “live happy ever after.” They had enough trouble getting married, Dr. Willis is a prominent young prac- titioner of Metropolis, Ill. For some time he has been quietly paying attentions to Miss Florence M. Towle, a society girl of the town. Last Friday there was an excursion from Metropolis and Paducah to 8t. Louis. Among the excursionists were Dr. Willis and Mies Towle. Nobody except themselves know whether it was in their minds to get married when they left home, and they won't tell. Dr. Wilks said, In Belleville, that they had “accidentally met’’ in St.. Louis, and decided without premeditation to surprise their friends by getting married. That was a hittle fnetion. The couple came to St. Louis together. If they did not come here to get married they contracted the no.ion very sown after, Saturday they went to Belleville on a late afternoon train. When they arrived there the shutters were up and the doors locked at the County Clerk's offiee. Busi- ness had closed for the week. The coupnie hunted up the residence of Deputy Ernst Hilgard and besought him to hie with them to the Courthouse and seil them one marriage license. But Mr. Hilgard was mindful trouble he got into a little while ago by being too ovliging. He said it could not be. County Clerk Thomas had laid down the rule that no marriage licenses could be issued after office hours and what Mr. Thomas said “‘went.”’ Dr. Willis and Miss Towle prended in a way to melt adamant, but Hilgard merely blinked his eyes rapidly ~— muttered something about “‘me duty’’ and fled from ‘ their beseecning faces.

The three burglars were tracked to a barn four and a half miles from Fairfield by the print of new rubber boots in the mud. When the found the men were sound asleep in haymow and were dazed and astonished when they were awakened by the loud call of Hoyt to get up and come along w.th him, the request being supplemented by cocked Winchester near oy heads. The coolness with which young Hogst made his demand demoralized the trio and they were meekly marched to Fairfield and handed over to the authorities. Hoyt will receive $90 rewards. The burglars were well provided with re- volvers, dynamite and tools for cracking safes.

SIXTH MISSOURI REGIMENT. Gov. Stephens Goes to Washington to Have the Volunteers Mustered Into Regular Army. Gov. Stephens left Jefferson City Monday for Washington, D. C., where he will try to induce the War Department to muster the Sixth Missouri Volunteers intosthe regular army. It is believed he will be successful, as the Government is greatly in need of troops, and the seasoned soldiers of the Sixth will no doubt be a very acceptable offering. The chaplain of the regiment recently vis- ited Jefferson City, his former home, and procured the signatures of all the members of the Legisiature asking that the Sixth be taken into the regular service. The of- ficers of the regiment are, of course, solidly in favor of the movement. But many of the men are vigorously opposed, and will insist upon retirement. RICHES FLED BEFORE DEATH.

FIVE OUTLAWS TO HER —_— Special to the Post-Dispatch. : DEXTER, Mo, Mareh 27.—After battling beside him for a quarter -of an hour in an | effort to beat back the officers of the law, Emma Hendrickson fell yesterday after- noon mortally wounded across the body of her father. She had pumped shot for shot with her hunted parent from the Remine- ton she knew as well as some women know their curling irons. She had kept up the battle to the death even after he had fallen by her side. Then a bullet from the Sheriff's posse entered her breast and the band of out- | laws abandoned hope when they saw their woman leader fall and took to flight. Two beside the dead Hendrickson and his daugh- ter were captured. Five others escaped after a lively running fight. Charles Hendrickson was leader of a gang of stock thieves which has operated in this section fo rseveral months, mainly in Franklin County. Regular officials failed for a long time to either run the thieves down or to prove their identity. Finally the citizens of Franklin County employed detectives and they discovered the thieves but failed to catch them. The gang escaped into this county several weeks ago and until yesterday kept in hid- ing in the woods at the homes of friends. They were finally run to their lair by Sher- iff Evans and a posse. Hendrickson, his daughter, and seven of his band were found in an-isolated house west of here and when called upon to sur- render only answered with a volley from each window which was promptly returned. There was mo more. parieying. For 16 minutes the shooting was intermittent, the Hendrickson band hawing the protection of the house and the officers firing from hbe- hind trees and such other smal! shelter as could be found. F‘naily, despairing of coping with the desperadoes in this fashicn of fighting, Sheriff Evans called on his force to close in on the house without con- sideration of cost. The outlaws were largely outnumbered and when the Sheriffs order came they sought to escape. by flight in the open, pouring out the door and firing continuous- ly at the posse which scught to close in on them. At their head came Hendrickson and his daughter. Almost at the first fire Hendrick- , son fell with a bullet tn his head. While the others of the band backed away towani | the timber in the rear of the house, hold- ing back their pursuers by their fire, the woman stood stil! in front, with her dead father at her feet, picking away at the oncoming officers. Quickly they made for cover again, but not until a bullet from her rifle had brought down Deputy Sheriff C. B. Booth, seriously if not fatally wounded. A second later a shot directed from be- hind a tree struck the girl fairly in the breast and she fell across her father’s corpse. Her stand had saved five of her compan- ‘ons by its short check of the posse's charge. When picked up she could not speak. She only looks her hate as her life is going out, KILLED HER WHILE DREAMING.

From the various lists of killed d wounded cabled by Gen, Otis, it is believed that the total casualties in the American army since Saturday morning wil! figure about 300, of which number about 100 have been killed. .. _ Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. MANILA, 4 p.m., March 27.—Gen. Mce- Arthur’a tired but victorious .army has forced its way through swamp and jungle, fording many rivers, and over a country wholly unknown, even to the General in command, to Maliloa, on the river of ithe same rame, a point half way from Manila to Malolos. Here the natives had de- stroyed the railway bridge, and the Ameri- can army will bivouac for the night until the engineers can repair the structure and permit the forwarding of supplies, which so far have been kept right up with the advance of the fighting column. The loss in to-day’s fighting was not as are that of Saturday, but the exact figure can- not yet be given. Over 100 dead Filipinos were found in the trenches and rice fields after the battle whieh won us Maliloa. it was the rear guard of Aguinaldo’sarmy that we encounteded here. While as stated our exact loss has not been returned to the General in command, it is known that six Americans were killed, including three of- ficers, and forty soldiers were wounded. Captured Filipinos say that Aguinaldo led his army in to-day’s fighting. He has taken the field in person and will from now on conduct his army’s movements. The rebels are retreating towards Malolos, but as there are B® towns, some of them ——— ‘built of stone houses, between here and Malolos, every mile of our advance must be won by bullets. FOREIGN OFFICERS MARVEL. The achievements of the American army are a revelation to the foreign officers, who are keeping in close touch with the ad- vance. The heat !s the worst foe, and there were grave fears that hundreds of soldiers would fall under its hot rays, but the men have withstood it, and compara- tively there have been few prostrations. The Filipinos fight stubbornly, but can- not stand up before the sweeping tide of a charge of American soldiers. The fact that ‘they fight behind intrenchments, accounts for the smallness of their losses. They are poor marksmen. Were they ex- perts with the deadly Mauser, with which many of them are armed, half of the Ameri. ean force would have been killed and wounded in the four days fighting since Gen. McArthur moved out of the Manila trenches. As it Is the entire American loss up to to- and 300 wounded. Regular officers here who served in the civil war say they have seen one regimeni of Union troops lose more men in one hour's fighting on Southern battlefields than have fallen here since hostilities be- e Still they regard the present campaign as anything but a picnic and say that it is real war, but under wholly different condl- tions from anything in which they were ever before engaged. ALL TOWNS BURNED. At every railroad station circulars have been vosted. signed by the Filipino Com- mander-in-Chief, Antonio Luna, ordering all spies and bearers of news to the enemy to be ehot without trial, and Matructing that all looters and arvishers be treated in the same manner. Further, all towns abandoned by the Filipino troops are first to be burned.. While deploring the existence of war, thd circular maintains the un‘entable rigit of the Filipinos to defend their homes. ° ves and lands against “would-be s -minators, who would kill them, their wives an cnili- dren,” adding that this mouve »sught to impell all Filipinos to sacrifice every' ning.

The map shows the points of chief interest in the movements of the American army on Malolos, the objective point of the campaign. McArthur is at Maliloa, 15 miles from Malolos. The country in front of bim is better suited to the movement of troops than that over which he has been fight- ing. As shown the main American army ts fol- lowing the railway closely.

Cable inquiries have reached here from the United States concerning the part Gen. Lawton is playing in this campaign. Gen. Lawton commands a division of the American Army on the River Pasig and it is his duty to watch the southern wing of Aguinaldo’s army from forming a junc- tion with main force. Lawton’s army holds the line of the Pasig, eight miles long ana small gunbeats patrol Lake Laguna, To- days’ reports show that from 3000 to 30W insurgents are concentrating south of the Pasig. We may soon hear of a battle there. in which Lawton will endeavor to crush the enemy and prevent any part of this force from p.ercing his lines and sweeping around McArthur’s flank to add their strength to Aguinaido about Maioilos, THE BATTLE OF SUNDAY. American Troops Take Polo and Push Toward Malolos. MANILA. March 27.—The United 5tates troops, under Bngadier-General Wheaton, captured the town of Malnta, beyond the Tuliahan River, Sunday, after a sharp fight. Col. Harry C. Egbert of the Twen- ty-second Regular Infantry, was Killed. Prince Loewenstein, formeriy aide-de-camp on the staff of Brigadier-General Mier at lioilo, somehow got in front of the firing line and was shot in the side, dying almost instantly. A German who accompanied him was wounded, The American casualties Sunday were much lighter than those of Saturday. Gen. Wheaton entered Malnta, which is a small village of huts, at 1 o’clock this aft- ernoon. The United States gunboat other gunboats have been shellin Helena and Maladon, |about a mile northwest of Caloocan, for several hours. The insurgents made a flerce resistance to the American advance up to the railroad at Manila. In addition to the fatal wound- ing of Col. Egbert several men of the Twenty-second Infantry and several of the Oregon and Kansas Reg ments were killed, Svidently anticipating a bombardment by the fleet, a thousand rebels vacated Mala- bon, leaving a few to burn the town. The caleulatieons of both Gen. Hatsey and n. Harrison Gray Otis, whose brigades constituted Gen. MacArthur's division. were much interfered with by the character of the country in front of both, and the enemy was able to take advantage of this, #0 that the operations against Novaliches and Polo were delayed, though the right wing of the d:vision swung out. eweeping the enemy in a northwesterly drection. Gen. Wheaton's headquarters Saturday night was a half mile south of the river, on the ra‘iroad. The opposite bank was protected by a Dbilockhouse and Intrench- ments.

Aguinaldo’s Army May Break Up Into Guerilla Bands. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 27.—The move- ment against the rebels tn the Philippines has not met with the success officia f the War Department anticipated. Agul- naldo has escaped, and there is now every probability that guerrilla warfare will he waged indefinitely. Officials here leve Malolos would immediately be captured and the rebellion ended by the capture of Aguinaldo. A question worrying officials of the War Department is where the natives managed to obtain enough ammunition to ca such a prolonged conflict. Dispatches Gen. Otis confirm the theory,that Spanish orisoners held by the rebels have been re- eased and have jolned the ranks of the insurgents. Advices from Gen. Otis Indicate that Aguinaldo’s forces comprise about 9,000 men, of whom only §. men are armed. Gen Corbin ridicules statements that Agul- naldo has 100,000 men. American forces in the far East have not their full complement of officers. Officers have been assigned to regiments in the Philippines, but many of them have delayed their departure and others are en route. The War Department has telegraphed reg- imental commanders, asking how s00n their commands can assemble at San_Fran- cisco to take transports to the Philtp- pines, Losses of the American forces duri the fighting at Manila bid fair to exc those at Santiago. Since Feb. 4 there hardly been a day that Gen.

The President Wil] Not Interfere With the Campaign. THOMASVILLE, Ga., March 27.—Pres:- @ént McKinley and party leave here at 3 o'clock this afternoon by a special train for Washington. Dispatches trom Manila which have been forwarded to the President the past few days have been carefully read but the President has taken no action, nor issued any instructions regarding the Phi ip- pine situation. Gen, Otis In the Presidents opinion, has handled matters ably, and will be allowed a free rein. The latest advices show that our casualties are beginning to run up, but aleo indicate that a crisis may be approaching as Aguinaldo himself is commanding the Filipinos, who are being steadily beaten back. A hope is entertained here that Aguinaldo, his staff and some of his generals may be captured. This, it is thought, might cause a collapse of the Fiil- pino insurgent movement. DENIED BY DEWEY. Aguinaldo Was Not on the Olympia at the Battle of Manila Bay. Special to the Post-Dispatch. RUTLAND, Vt., March 27.—Admiral Dewey has written to a member of his fam- ily in reference to the assertion often made that Aguinaldo piloted his flagship Olym- la into Manila Bay the night before the attie. He says: ae “Neither Aguinaldo nor any other Fili- pino was on the Olympia at that time. Further the only one of his followers with the fleet was a man whom the Admiral in- tended to use as an interpreter in case he should fall in with a Filipino fisherman or boatman from whom he might wish to get information before entering Manila Bay. Three Filipinos came off to the fleet be- fore Dewey sailed from Mirs Bay, and one was taken aboard the store ship. As this Vessel was the last in the line on entering Manila Bay the Filipino was not in a po- sition to do any piloting, even if he had been competent, which he was not. -—-9@ —— | CUT TO PIECES.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 27.— rates Was sent to engrossment in the Hause this morning, amended to provide for pas- senger rates of 2% cents per mile on main lines and 3% cents on branch lines. The bill came up on motion of Williams of Scott.

This was defeated by a vote of 6 io # on roll eall. Hail of Grundy then spoke aga.nst the amendment, as did Macensen of St. Louis and Curry of Ozark, ail cluiming that reduction in passenger rates wou.d cause reduction of wages of railroad employes. Huck of Ste. Genevieve and Delzell of Webster spoke for the amendment. Deizell made a sensational speech. Hold- ing a littie red book in h.s hand he shouted: “If the railroads would keep these littie red books in their offices you members of the Legislature would vote to make proper passenger rates.”’ The book was a Missouri Pacific mile- age book, which he said came to him through the mails. He said he had not used it and called upon the members to look at it to satisfy themselves on this po.nt. He said he was surprised at the speeches of Hall of Grundy and Curry of Ozark. His speech was a direct charge of lobby influence to defeat railroad legisiation. The previous quest.on was ordered by the close vote of 46 to 45.. Kiskadden moved that the House take a recess until 2 o'clock. This was defeated by a vote of 47 to 48. Hall of Grundy then followed with a motion to _ indefinitely postpwune the amendment. This was defeated on /f,oll call by a vote of 46 to 45. The roll was then called upon the adop- tion of the amendment. Nearly all the members who were opposed to tie bill re- fused to vote and left ‘the hall so that there would be no quorum voting. The yote resulted 44 to 22. The point of no quorum was made by O'Fallon of Hoit ard Woods of Mercer, but Speaker Ward Jj.sregarded them and put the question and the Dill was engrossed as amended, The frieneds of the bill cheered iustily on the announcement of the result. — ee eee Why Women Are Nervous. (British Med cal News.) The frequent cases of nervous. prostration or utt ‘Ollapse of tie nervous system h women “go all to pieces,” as the saying is. have caused much thought and investigation on the part of physicians. Certain inorganic substances are well known to cause various forms of nervous diseases which are readily traced to the po sons producing them. Further research leads to the belief that alum is a prevail- ing cause of so-called nervous prostration, for the symptoms it produces on the nerv- ous system after its absorption into the blood are very remarkable indeed. periments physiologically made upon mals by Orfilla, Profs. Hans Mayer, Pau! Seim and others, show that aium fre- quently produces no visible symptoms for many days after its introduct.on into the body. Then follow loss of appetite and other alimentary disturbances, and final- ly a serious prostration of the whole nerv- ous svstem. The most prominent physi- clans now believe that “nervous prostra- tion’’ and many affections of the nerves from which both men and women suffer are caused by the cont-nued absorption of alum into the system. (t is probable that nyany medical men are unaware of the extent to which salts of alumina may be introduced into the body, being undér the impression that the use of alum in bread is prohibited. Alum, how- ever, is still used surreptitiously to som: extent to whiten bread and very largely ‘n making cheap kinds of baking powder. In families where baking powder is gener- allly used great care should be exercised to procure only those brands made from cream of tartar. The alum powders may generally de distinguished by the price at which they are sold. —- ——__-____ —__ - Legislature, He Says, Has No Right to Compel a Court to Decide. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 27.—Gov.

The bill was by Hall of Grundy and came originally from ‘the House. In vetoing it the Governor informs the Legislature that it nas been trying to exceed its power. The Governor says: “The Legisiature may énact laws for the holding of courts and for cae ridjoucsnment thereof,. but it cannot dictace to the Judges how they shall dec.de, nor what they shall decide. The Leg.slature cannot take eny action which looks to the cvontrvl of the Judiciary of this State. It was competent for the Legislature under ‘the old Section 210 to provide that the opinion of the Supreme Court should ‘always contain 4 sufficient statement of the case, for that does not interfere with or control the ju- die.al discretion of the Supreme Court. Hut with regard to the other port.on of the bill, couched in these words: ‘And shall pass upon and fully decide all legal queations power of the Legislature to enact, ‘The Legislature has no mvore povtver to interfere with or control or attempt to eontrol the action of the Supreme Court tn writing its opinion than has the Supreme Court the power to dictate to the Legis- lature how and in what way it shall enact and frame its laws. The courts do not sit or pass upon moot cases. They are created to decide real coniroversies we- tween actual litigants. If the record has not been properly preserved in the tral court. there are other provisions of the statutes which prohibit the higher courts from passing upon the question of law at- tempted to be raised.”’ - ——-~-----—— BERTILLON SYSTEM EXTENDED.

The Police Board has issued an order to police captains commanding them to imme- diately grade their sergeants and patrol- men in first, second and third classes. This means trouble for inefficient police- men and possible promotion for deserving men to come when the new police law goes into effect. It is announced that if any incempetents are found they will be dis- charged. Consequently there is fear and trembling Within some police untforms. The men with good records are looking forward to advancement and more pay. The grading is to be done by the captains tn their re- | spective districts and in accordance with | the records and known ability of the men. The last order of this kind was promul- gated in 1894 and was followed by the great- est shaking up known in the department during the preceding twenty years. Vice-President Harry B. Hawes of the board said: “The order issued to captains of the va- rious districts grading police officers is to ascertain their qualities, in view of the new police bill passed by the State Legis- lature and which soon béetomes effective. The object, of course, Is to pick out men and put them im line for promotion. In these selections meérit alone will count. 'Influence will not exercise aliy power. “Aside from this we want to know the inefficient men. If there are any of that kind, and it is likely there are, we don't want them.” RECRUITS FOR THE FIELD More Men Required at Once to Fill Up the Depleted Ranks at Manila and Elsewhere. —_——E— The United States Army is to be ex- panded at once to the limit provided by the recent act of Congress, 65,000 men. An order, promulgated .in Washington, has reached St, Louis, instructing Capt. Owen W. Sweet, who is In charge of the recruit- | ing office here, to enHst all the men he can secure and to advertise in the daily paper: for recruits. The new men are being sworn in for a term of three years and, as enlisted, they 'are being sent to fill up the regiments now in the fleld that have been depieted by battles and disease. Most of them are be- ing sent to the Philipp.nes, via San Fran- cisco. “The Government wants all the regular regiments filled up to the maximum,” said Capt. Sweet Monday. “So many men are being discharged every day for one cause or another that the regiments are becomin skeletons. About 40,000 men, who enlist for the war, will be discharged soon, and that will leave the army very small. “Puring the early part of the war re- cruits were plentiful and there was little necessity for advertising for them. Of late, however, the popular interest in the affairs of the army waned and recruiting of- fices received but little attention. “We want all the recruits of the proper sort that we can gecure at this office. I have advertised in the daily papers and am going to re-bill the town. I have sent an officer into Northeasterr Missouri to work Louisiana, Hanniba.\ Bowling Green and other cities for men.” THIRTY WARRANTS.

The Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Floris- sant avenue and Salisbury street, is mak- ing preparations for the celebration of the golden jubilee, which begins Wednesday evening, April 26, and closes the following Sunday evening.

LOUIS JEWS CELEBRATING THE PASSOVER FEAST. PREPARATIONS FOR PASCHAL. What Is Done by the Orthodox During the Feast, as Remembered in Cer- tain Portions of the City. Passover, the oldest feast in the Jewish calendar, began Saturday evening. For seven days will the observance con- tinue, ending as it began, with what is called a *“‘holy convocation,’’ the reunion of the family. To all Jews does the paschal celebration recall memories and to all is it the occa- sion of . which solemnity, among those reared in orthodoxy. The most of this latter class in St. Louis reside in the vicinity of Seventh, Eighth, Wash, Carr and Biddle streets, and in this Jocality ac- tive preparation. for the great event went on all of last week. Saturday evening, immediately after the initiary service in the synagogue, simul- taneous with the setting of the sun, tne “Seder’’ was given, To this occasion, Jews, no matter how far away they may be, al- ways, if possible, return, that they may celebrate it in the bosom of their families. The ceremonials are to-day similar to those of 3000 years ago, and the slightest change is viewed with abhorreuce. Saturday the orthodox Jews of St. Louis carried out the celebration according to the form laid down by Moses. First the father of the household entered the room where the table was place. The members of the househld filed into the room after him. The greatest respect was shown him—for the night he was a king. At the head of the oval table eat a great chair or small] lounge, covered with cushions, and on which the head of the family half reclined and half sat. As soon as all ‘assembled the wife ,left the room and entered, bearing a bow! of water, in which the head of the household solemniy washed his hands. Then all were seated at the table. It was curiously laid. Over its center burned clusters of candles, while in the corners were the lamps of coal 411, which added to the brilliant illumination. Directly in front of the semi-throne of the head of the family sat the ‘“Seder-dish’”’ and in the center a flazon of wihe. The flagon contained enough of the csrefully measured red liquid for each of those ct- tending to have four glasses, which must be drained, and an extra amount fur the “Cup of Elijah.’ The “Seder-dish” is that which is the most curious to the Christian. It is a large covered dish or platter. First on it have been laid three large pieces cof ““Matzoth,” the odd crackers or unleav- ened bread, especially manufactured fer the Jews, and with neither salt, grease nor yeast among its ingredients. -The crackers, or pieces, are about eight inches in diameter. Over each is laid a eover of white linen separating it from the one above it. On top of the three separated by Kgs ae! een are six little disheg, each containing a peculiarl repared ar- ticle. The first has a boiled ah g rin Meng of the germ of life: second a dish of parsley, symbolizing freedom: third. bit- ter herbs—horseradish—representinge the bitterness of the life of the Jews while in captivity in Egypt; fourth, a mixture of nuts, honey and apples, called by the Jews ‘“Charoseth;”’ fifth, salt water. symbolical of the salt water of the Red Sea: through which the Israelites were led by Moses: sixth, shankbone, symbolical of the pascnai lamb slain on the night of deliverance from bondage. The wine cups were filled and each guest emptied his cup at the beginning of the feast. The head of the house picked uD a sprig of the parsley and dipped it in the salt water, handing a bit of it to each, say- ing in Hebraic, “This is the bread of af- fliction, which our forefathers did eat.” Every one sat down, and then the youngest child at the table asked a series of ques- tions in the language of the Jewish lit- any, beginning with one: “Wherefore is this night distinguished from all other nights? Any other night we may eat either leavened or unleavened bread. but on this night only unleavened bread.” The answer came from all about the table, as prescribed in the Talmud. There are four questions asked, and they are called what sounds to the untutored Christian like “mah mish- tant.”” The head of the household then began a discourse, in which he recited the history of the Jews while In bondage in Egypt, telling of their deliverance, after the plagues had been visited on the Egyp- tians. From the biblical story he drew lessons of the final triumph of right over evil throughout the history of all races and all peoples. When he had Anishesl all drank their second glass of wine. while a prayer was recited. Then water was brought and all the guests washed their hands and broke the unleavened bread and ate it. They partook of the bitter herbs, repeating a prayer. The table was then set for the feast proper. Many things are prepared for it, but there are always two hard-boiled eggs in salt water for each guest. The third glass of wine is taken immediately after the feast, and then comes the most solemn ceremony of all. The large cup, or goblet, which has been sitting at one edge of the table during the yrevious ceremony, is filled, the door of the 10use ts thrown open, and in a loud voice the head of the household invites the spirit of the Prophet Elijah to enter and drink of the wine. Following this are the songs which were written thousands of years ago, and through the ages have been hand. ed down from one generation in the Chal- daic and Hebraic, just as they were sung Saturday night in Little Jerusalem. The drinking of the final cup of wine and the fina] prayer are most impressive. This marks the conclusion of the feast, after which prayers and psalms are chanted in a wailing tone, the burden of which is a plea for the return of the “chosen 4 ple’ to their “promised land’’—Jerusalem.

History of Her People Co-Extensive With That of Upper Louisiana and the Middle Weét, Mrs. Virginia Eliot Carr Cabanne, widow of John Charless Cabanne, died at the resi- dence of her son, Mr. J. Charless Cabanne, early Sunday morning. Her death was due to advanced age, she being in the Sth year of her life. For the past, year Mrs. Cabanne had been showing the effects of decrepitude, losing even the powers of speech and locomotion previous to her demise. Until recently, however, she was most active in her habits, and it was an enjoyment for her to waik from the West End downtown, her destination usually be- ing the Mercantile Library, and return on foot. ; Virginia Eliot Carr, the deceased’s maiden hame, was the descendant on both sides dbf men who made history. On her ma- ternal side her lineal progenitor was the famous Rev. John Eliot, ‘“‘Apostie to the Indians,” who first transiated the Bible into the aboriginal language. He was a Puritan of the stiff-necked type. Tne scene of his labors lay around what is now Known as Missouri in the seventeenth century. His sons settled in Ste. Genevieve,one of the first French settlements in the Upper Louisiana Territory. Here was born Ann Maria Eliot, who, in 1804, married William Chiles Carr, a young member of one of Virginia s finest families, who had come West to grow Up with the country. t The language of the peoples was almos entirely French, and to perfect himself in this speech, young Carr visited Ste. Gene- vieve. Here he met and wooed and won the fair daughter of the Eliots, who had been as prominent among the Puritans 8s ain own family had been among the Cav- aliers. ‘After a brief residence in the little place the young couple moved to St. Louis, then a|thriving town of perhaps 5000 inhabitants. re William Carr succeeded in his chosen profession, the law, and soon became @ recognized leader at the bar. He was elected Circuit Judge, which position of nanae he held many years. Prosperity also attended his efforts: he amassed wealth and erected what was then con- sidered a handsome residence on Main street, just south of Walnut. r (‘This was the birthplace of Virginia Eliot Carr, in whose name was significant the union of Massachusetts and Virginia. Here she lived during her childhood. This was in 1816. Some years after this her father, Judge Carr, to what was almost an unknown country, Eighteenth and Wash streets, andthere built the widely known Carr mansion, now transferred into the Presbyterian Hoepital. In this house John Charless Cabanne, a scion of ihe first French families of St. Louis, who were inclined to regard the native-born residents —such as the Carrs, the Christys, the Lu- cases and the O’Fallons as “upstarts’— married Virginia Carr. The wedding, which occurred in 1833, was a great social event, to |\which were bidden the representative families throughout the surrounding coun- try) The couple enjoyed ® years of domestic bliss, Mr. Cabanne dying tn 1838, leaving a widow and three sons. One of the sons, moved the eldest, died just at the outbreak of hos- tilities between the North and the South. as the young man was preparing to join the Confederate Army. Mrs. Cabanne was e slave-owner and had come to re- gard siaves as a divine institution. Through- out) the war she gave her aid and to the rebels. Her beliefs in this di- lon amounted to religious conviction and to the last ehe retained her faith.

Not one was con- victed. | Each case involved fraud or corruption in office. Of the fact that an offense had been committed there was no doubt, but the indicted official invariably escaped punishment. No one suffered for the crimes known to have been committed. In view of th® record the public may understand why the corrupt politiciam view the courts with contempt and why they sneer avd mock at indictments. Speaker Lloyd voiced timest of the “gang” based upon experience when he aia atet indictments amount to nothing and predicted that Price and Philper would never be convicted. The law breaks down when I[t runs against the corrupt poli- tical machine. The pull of the official crook is stronger than the power of the courts.

The Tin Pilate Trust is raking in profits far beyond what the heavy tariff yields. The consequence of this is that a New York dealer imported 120,000 boxes of tin plate from Wales, which he could afford to sell in competition with the trust, at pres- ent figures it is thus that monopoly and legislated special privileges prey upon the consumers. ——______—__—___ws 4. THE FIRE OF 1849. The celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the great fire of 1849 next May. as su&gested in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, will be the occasion of many reflections among the “oldest in- habitants.”’ More progress has been made during the half century since the great fire than was made during the two centuries pre- ceding that event. Nearly every improvement in the art of living which we mow consider indispensable was then unknown. Life was simple and comparatively easy. Now it is complex and diffi- cult. The requirements then were easily met; to-day they Strain the keenest brain and hardest nerve to discharge them creditably. ; : But the improvement is undoubted, the progress unquestion- able. St. Louis has had her share in it and has done her part in helping on the forward movement. The anniversary should be celebrated with an eye to the growth of the city. Contrasts of this kind are suggestive and worth studying. eo? - No wonder there is a call, even from Republican journals, fora withdrawal! of high tariff protection from articles manu- factured by trusts. A Post-Dispatch special announces that trusts are being financed in Wall street at the rate of about Wa week. >> — Se CHILDREN’S LIES. An investigation of children’s lies js going on in the New York schools. It has been discovered that the little ones lie for one or other of the following reasons: (1), To defend themselves from punishment; (2), to conceal something they are ashamed of; (5), to amaze or amuse their playmates: (4), for pure love of the ulreal; (5), to protect a friend. Such an inquiry ts along the lines of common sense. The faculty of imagination is the one most needed in life and yet it seems to have been neglected in schools, and parents often fail to distingu'srh between a lie for the first and second of the have been exclusive, intolerant and suspicious. They have distrusted our missionaries and often murdered them. They can now be liberated from the bonds of ignorance and made to comprehend the real principles of the Occidentals. Such philanthropy contains the best and soundest sentiment. It not only relieves actuai distress, but it Daves the way for a better understanding between diverse and hostile’peoples. — . The East and West are drawing closer together. Let us show the Chinese that we are animated not by sordid con- siderations, but by the motives which lie at the base of our civilization. Thus we shall make them our friends, ~~ ae One Trust Not Having All Its Own Wav.—tThree States are freeing themselves from the intolerable tyranny Of the Bind- ing Twine Trust by the simple expedient of establishing their own plants. Minnesota owns and operates & binding twine plant. North Dakota is building one and the Kansas Legis- lature has passed a bill for the establishment of one. If the trusts cannot see the handwriting on the wall in this action, they must be blind indeed. ” = — a ae MILES VINDICATED. Gen. Miles’ charges concerning embalmed and canned beef seem to be fully proven. Evidence has been piling up ever since the inquiry began and nearly all of it points one way. A few witnesses swear they did not see any bad meat, but most of them declare that it was as bad as could be. Mr. Alger “played very bad politics’’ when.he made the cantractors’ cause his own. So anxious was he to destroy les that he espoused the embalmers’ side of the case and néw finds himself in a trap. Whether he was at fault or not he cannot escape the odium attaching to this sutler’s job. Miles is vindicated before the public. He and Breckinridge seem to have been the only high officers of the government, civil or military, who stood up manfully for the rights of the soldiers and the safety of the army. Others appear to have been either ‘rattled’ by the sudden and multitudinous de- mands created by the war or were so much tnder the in- fluence of moneyed interests that they lost sight of the welfare of the country. It is a bad business. But perhaps it is well that the job was exposed during a little war. Conditions may be corrected now and the country insured against a danger which might be fatal in a great conflict. = = Ss -_ —- ee _ A Post-Dispatch correspondent’s suggestion of buying off the burglars may be considered later on if we do not soon find other means of suppressing them. In olden times immunity from bandits was often purchased. We might also consider how we may buy off the public plunderers who are no better than the burglars, but whom we so often elect to important offices. i Lr. = i i The statement that Speaker Reed, if made Speaker of the new House, will be in accord with the Administration in cur- that the Administration will mot oppose his re-election. It would be easy for the Administration to choose a Republican Speaker who would work its currency policy. The Senate will do well to thoroughly consider the divorce bill. A just and reasonable enactment is wanted, not one that will encourage immorality by injudicious restrictions. Above all, goad women should be protected from worthless husbands who persist in the vilest habits and refuse to support their families. > > ie — i As both Great Britain and the United States favor expan- sion, at least so far as the parties in power in the two coun- tries indicate, i: would be absurd for them to quarrel over the Alaskan boundary.

If burglary is not soon checked, how are we to obtain un- prejudiced witnesses against the few unlucky burglars who happen to be caught? = = = i id a If, as shown in the Post-Dispatch, a prehistoric civilization constructed islands, we can do the same. It would be better to make our islands than to expand by seizing those upon which other countries have a claim. The Filipino scheme of fighting and running away in order to fight another day is an extremely troublesome one for our American fighters. Battling with the intangible in a tropical climate is a very serious business. The citizen wh? is bitten in his ventures in trust stocks will not get much sympathy. No trust has beén organized for benevolent or sanitary purposes, and the fact is quite well known to everybody. Dying of gangrene, a famous Kentucky horse has been mercifully put to death with chloroform—a relief that would be denied a suffering and dying man. Good roads are needed for rural mail delivery as well as for trade. There are many reasons why the good roads movement should be kept up. POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. Possibly the Indiana farmers’ opposition t6 the dog-tax will help to boost the price of wool. Queen Victor'a will have a royal opportunity to mingle in the feminine quinquennial in London in June, but perhaps the old lady will not attend. Gov. Pingree, when he reale in the Sunday Post-Dispatch that St. Louis is consuming #00 bushels of potatoes every day, will add h‘s voice to the praises of this great and solid city. A St. Louls woman pictured in the Sunday Post-Dispatch in the costume of a Filipino belle looked €0 very charming that it would certainly profit the dressmakers to introduce the Fil'pino apparel in this cits. The tnagnetic Mr. Woodruff of Buffalo, who has W wives, seems never t» have thought of divorcing h!mself from any of them. There 1s no doubt that he is a husband who will always uphold the marriage relarion. Now that a messenger boy has beaten the ocean malis, the par- agraphs about tle messenger boy's leisurely methods will have to be molified. Toasibly, however. the messenger boy gets new life into his system when he is over salt water. The vegetariana must have been filled with gioom over the Sun- day Post-Dispatch’s comparison of vegetable prices of March with those of January. The vegetarian, if he is to make con- verts at this time of year, w'tll have to devise some scheme for lowering the mountainous spring prices of his favorite food. — — = ~~! above mentioned reasons, and a pure product of the fancy.

I’ve got ‘em! I see snakes everywhere. ' Oo’ and he fainted. ; When he awoke it was the next day His friends were standing about his bed. One of them offered him a glass of whisky, suggesting that it would brace him up “No, boys. I'll never take another drink. I’ve seen ‘em once and I am satisfied.

When manhood's characteristic energies have been dissipated by vicious courses, ©Xcesses, overwork, etc., Electricity is the Only sure and permanent cure. Any con- Scientious physician will tell you this. Drugs cannot cure these obetinate and mortifying diseases— they simply tempor- arily stimulate—they oppose, not aid na- ture.

Through it you get such a current. ! Belt supplies Eiectricity in its pure- eet form.

THENEW CHAMBERS'S | ENCYCLOPAEDIA! JUDGE PEABODY IS SORRY Hz HASN’T A WHIPPING POST. JOHN CASEY'S SUNDAY SPREE. He Beat His Wife, Sister and Children —Oscar Valentine Broke the Fur- niture and Started a Fire. Judge Thomas H, Peabody showed his disapproval of wife beaters Monday morn- ing by fining John Casey $500. Casey, his wife and six children and his sister, Kate, live at 109 Clark avenue. Sun- day Casey was drunk and when he went home he kicked one of his children without any apparent cause. The child screamed with pain and when it did not cease Casey began beating it so brutally that his Wile and s.ster begged him to stop, telling him he would kill the child. This only angered the drunken man and he attacked the women. He kicked his Sister out of the house and down a filght of stairs. Then he seized a knife and Started toward his wife. She ran s€ream- ing from the house with her husband in close pursuit. Her screams attracted the attention of Policeman Murphy, who placed Casey under arrest. Vhen the facts were related in the Police Court Monday morning Judge Peabody im- posed the maximum fine. “The severest punishment that can be meted out in this court is totally inade- quate in your case,”’ said the Judge, ‘“‘The whipping post and the stocks ought to be revived for especial use on such men as you. I will do the best I can and fine yeu $500."’ Osear Valentine was also heavily fined in Judge Peabody’s court Monday for dis- ferp.ng the peace of his household on Sun- ay. Pn tentine went to his home, 800 South Broadway, and drove his wife and children from the house. Then he transferred h-s attention to the furniture. He kicked ta- bles and chairs over, broke the bureau and smashed the pictures. In the kitchen a fire was burning briskly. The stove was red-hot and the tea kKettie was boiling. fo was Valentine. He seized an ax and the stove was soon as much of a wreck as the rest of the furniture. The burning coals fell over the floor and the house caught fire. Valentine poured a few buckets of water on the fire and ex- tinguished it. Then he sat on the only chair that remained and viewed with sat- isfaction the result of his work. Patrolman Clark was summoned by the wife and he arrested Valentine. Valen- tine is a stovemaker employed by the Bbridge-Beach Company. Ashmede also felt the weight of Oliver Peabody's wrath against wife- Judge beaters. Ashmede and his wife, Emma, live at 2738 Manchester avenue. Ashmede was drinking Sunday night and when he went home he wanted to show his superior.ty by beating his wife and demolishing the furniture. He was so noisy about it that Patro!man Fritschel called and _ restored quiet by locking Ashmede up. Judge Peabody heard the story of the officer and Mrs. Ashmede and fined Ash- mede 0 AT THE PLAYHOUSES. ——_ There was much laughter and no regret for those who went to the Olympic Theater last nigent and saw a Frohman company in “On and Off,”’ a new farce by A vexander Bisson. It was a deft and delicate per- formance of a brisk, crisp and witty play of the best French school. It is such a good thing that it will probably live to be mauled and mangled by cheap companies. Tneré was a large audience even if it was Palm Sunday, and everybody laughed witn the visceral laughter that subjects waisl- goat buttons to a strain and promotes di- gestion. The story about two men of the same name and two families that are in- cerested in one of them and whom the other forces to become interested fh him also. The phonograph piays an impor.ant mart in the development of the plot. S30 ar as the writer has been able to ascer- tain, this is the first piay in which a me- chanical talking machine has been utilizea as a plot developer. It s cleverly done, and. the complications that come out of the changing of a cylinder to the undoing of the owner are very funny. The device of mak- ing a man fancy he has become insane is also introduced and so artistically that one almost forgets that it is old. Y3o it is with everything about the play; .f a feature isn't new, it is so appropriate that it gives the impression of the newness. On EF. M. Holkand and Fritz Willlams the bulk of the work falls. Mr. Holiand’is a most excellent and versatile actor. In “On and Off"’ he wears a red wig ana looks at times a little like Nat Goodwin, but he always looks more hke the character he is playing than Mr. Goodwin ever looked like anybody but Mr. Goodwin. Mr. Hol- land’s methods are admirable. His work in farce might be compared to the wield- ing of an edged tool by a skillful artisan. He never cuts too deep, yet never loses a stroke. In less competent hands the parc of George Godfray, the married man schem- ing to induce his wife to get a divorce, might easily become offensive, whereas in Mr. Holland's it is never more nor less than nd, Mr. Williams also knows his trade. e invests the other Godfray with a quantity and quality of graceful assur- ‘ance that would make a man’s fortune in He shared hono.s. the poe brick business. equaily with Mr. Holland. The other mem bers of the cast do efficient work. *h women wear nice gowns, and several] of them are beautiful. One of these is Mis): Mssie Tittel, a long-limbed daughter of the Gods, whose lines of beauty are artistica ily accentuated by several well chosen gowns. May Lambert—who is Miss Yourtee of $i. Louis in private life—is another. She has the role of an adventuress, who pretends to have a nervous affection that makes her wink in a manner that makes men try to kiss her , which attempts result in the strange men paying tribute to her protector, Miss mbert’s wink is a very nice wink but like other stage winks it has been dis- cussed sufficiently. The owner of ' can probably do other work effectively, but in this play she doesn't have to. May Buckiy as an ingenue, wears a_ white gown and looks sweet and trim. Altogether it is one of the best companies seen in St. Louis this season, and the play is very, very There were more player audience than on the stage. _ funny. Mr. and Mrs. did enjoy it! Mrs. Robson has a jolly and it could be heard all over yg ‘amy Her husband's eccentric eachinations were almost equally ronounced. Across the house in another box were De Wolf Hopper and Miss Bergen and Miss Judson: Miss Marie Burroughs and Mr. Robson's man- ager, McArthur, also had a box, and scat- tered about in the audience were Theodore Hamilton, Grayce Scott Eleanor Robson Mason Mitchell and Manager Giffen and ss members of the Julia Arthur Com. y. “The Nominee," @ comedy written by Leander Richardson and played by Nat Goodwin eight years or so ago is the bill at the Grand Opera House this week. Mr. Bosworth has the Goodwin role of the young married man who slips away from home to enjoy himself out from under the trying dominion of his mother-in-law. He is not at his best in this line of characters but the audience yesterday found him «at- isfactory. Miss Reimer as the Jacksonian mother-in-law is right in her element. Her political speech, brought up to date by the versatile Mr. Giffen, set the house wilid with delight. A_ clever" woman jis Miss Reimer.

Eighteen cases were dis- posed of. ne nds In Judge Fliteraft’s court, Julia Weise wanted a divorce from Harry M. We'se. She alleged that he frequently becam» in- toxicated and was dangerous while in that condition. She also deciared he took her valuable diamond ear-rings, and caused paste stones to be exchanged for the genu- ine. stones. which he pawned, and took the money for his ow» use.

Sne Said she took in washing for a living and was forced to divide the proceeds wita her husband. Hiarry Miller asked to be divorce:| from Minnie A.

Annie Caroline Shipp claimed that Jamer I. Shipp beat her and cailed her vile and Vulgar names, after which he drove her from his home. Emma J. Wilson said Robert L.

She said he took her little baby from her and kept it two weeks. only returning it when it was al- mosi dead from the want of her care, — Hattie McClelland alleged in her petition that Thomas H.

They Have Visited All the Public in- stitutions, but Can Find No Trace of the Missing Man. —_—-_-__-____-—_ John Calloway, the wheelwright and wagonmaker from Fredericktown, Mo., who doesn’t belteve in banks and who goes aorund with $3000 and $4000 In his inside pocket, fs still’on the police roll of folks mysteriousiy missing. He was last seen Wedmsday by his wife and son, who are temporarily living at 2661 Pine street. Tne polhce are iooking for Calloway, and So is the missing man’s son. They ilo rot know what to-deduce from his disappeuar- ance. but Mrs. Calloway has a theory that he will soon turn up none the worse for his strange absence. Young Calloway is beginning to fear that his fatwer may have been rovbed and vio- lently dealt with. He has made the rounds of the city hospitals and institutivuns, and likewise has vis.ted all the private hospi- tals without finding a trace of the «id man’s movements. He has gone to the oath- er extreme, also, of surmieing that his fa- ther was out on a lark and had forgoiten in his excitement and pleasure that h- ever had a home. Following up this idea he has visited the saloons and winerooms ‘n the vicinity of Jefferson avenue. Many per- sons were found who remembered having seen Mr. Calloway, but they were unable, to say where he had taken himself. Mrs. Calloway and her son left their boarding place early Monday morning, os- tensibly to go looking for the lost one. They called at the house of a friend on Beaumont street, near Laclede avenue, but remained only a short time. They did not go to the Four Courts, where, it was said by Capt. Reynolds, nothing new in the case. Young Calloway says his father lost sev- eral thousand dollars by bank failures on two occasions, and for the last four or five years has preferred to carry his own money, declaring that he could take care of it better than anyone elee. “IT have been teling my mother for the last few days,’ says young Callawy, “‘that my father was stay:ng downtown, and that ] saw him regularly. I did this so as not to alarm her. The truth is, I have not seen him. “He left Fredericktown nearly two years ago, since which time he has been working in Cairo. Tl He came to St. Louis on March 10 to join my mother. SMALLPOX PATIENT — DIES. —_o—— Fred Gamble Succumbed at Quaran- tine and Albert Lewis Is Senc There With Varioloid.

The physiciat in charge hastily examined Lewis, then summoned Dr. G. A. Jordan, Chief Dispensary Physician, who has charge of the city smallpox work. Dr. Jordan diagnosed the case as vario- loid and had Lewis sent to Quarantine. Health Officer Francis then thoroughly fumigated the Dispensary When the physicians who are vaccinating throughout the city. made _ their regular Calls at 10 o'clock Monday, two were de: tailed on this case.

Hyatt and his old apparatus have just about made it impos- sible; that’s all they’ve done. What at first seemed a combine between that man Hyatt, the coal dealer and the ice man, now appears to be a deep laid plot in which the florist also had a hand. he bill for an Easter lily this year is going to be as long as the lily’s graceful stem. All the other fancy flowers save taken on an increase in price, and the cold Winter is at the bottom of the raise. Violets, daffodils and hyacinths, which ordinarily need but little coaxing tp bring them in time for Easter, were scarce be- cause of the severe cold all this' month and the months before, and the fact as well that this year’s Easter is an early one. The fancy flowers which are raised in gave the florists greater coal bills, and therefore they are going to cost more The proud Harrisii, or Easter lily, sold in St. Louis last year at $2 and 32.56 a dozen.

Whe Referee Comments in Vigorous Fashion on the Happenings of In- terest Among the Cyclists During Past Week. ==> ee Tm the cvyeling world we have reached what has been known for twenty years as the “renewal season.”’ Next Saturday, Apri! 1, marks for a larger part.of the L. A. W. membership the end of the four-league year and then the tickets will have expired In the earlier days, and in fact, until 1893, all membership cards expired April 1 and before that date wheelmen had to re- new or elae they were dropped from the rolls, It did not make any difference when ® man joined, his dollar only carried him until April 1. This was, at last, found to be not only unfair, but decidedly against the best interests of the league and the constitution was altered so that a mem- ber’s card was good for a year from the time he joined. This, however, did not alter the expiration date, for all the old members and there are, perhaps, 15,000 members whose cards expire April 1. Mosf ‘of these «an be depended upon to renew, as hey have been in the organization so long hat they will st.ck by it from sentiment, en though they may havo quit riding a vele. They need to have their memory ed a bit, though, and they should send 1 their renewals now. All wheelmen who have been mé¢mbers for ‘nm years are eligible to the inner circle “ploneers.”’ - “he League of American Wheelmen is, aps, the most powerful athletic body in world, certa'nly in this country. ugh its alliances it makes itself felt il! climes and one of the ghost strik- instances of this fact came to light ® the recent revolt of acmumber of leading racing men. Thelf action is well known to be discussed. here, sut- sit to say that one “Bill’’ Martin, who jotees in the sobriquet of “Plugger Bill,”’ ined in the movement and had himself duly fined and suspended by the L. A. W. Racing Board. “Bill afterward set sail for South Africa anc settled in one of the ham- lets in that far-off land. Shortly after- ward he centered some hicycle races tre and attempted to ride, but was informed tnat as he was under the suspension of th L. A. W. he could not r'de. “Bill” re- mitted the amount of hia fine to this coun- try and received s clearance papers. he racing department. however, is not the only one of the league that has made the organization famous. Years ago the ery of “good roads" was started by it and the members have kept It up so continually that the movement has spread all over the United States and Curiada. I see that Peter Prunty proposes to sue the L. A. W. for ruling him off the track in all official capacities, claiming that he made his living by acting as an announcer at race meets. The courts have too often ruled that a man must abide by the rules he organization he belones to and works winter And Much suits are always thrown Peter is only bluffing. Chairman Gerlach of the Racing Board ae announced that candidates for the of- ce of handicapper must have the indorse- went of their respective chief consuls. I have often heard advocates of the ad- tission of professionals into the L. A. W. dvance the a ment that every official tthe L. A. W. is a professional and there- ore there should be no discrimination gainst the professional racing man. Such nh argument ia eo full of blow holes that would not hold water a minute. The teur rule defines an amateur as “one ho has never competed for a cash prize r gate money, or who has not engaged in, or assisted in, cycling or any other rec- gnized athletic exercise for money. or ther remuheration, nor knowingly com- eted with or against a professional] for a rigze of any description.’’ If the people ho put forward the above argument think at the Secretaries of the league or the embers of the Racing Board are ‘‘ae- sting in an athletic exercise’’ when they e writing letters in their offices or post- x their books, then the argument is good. ut I have never heard of office work ‘ing called “‘athletic exercise.” _ The purpose of the rule is to prevent men rom riding races for pay and that is the nly fair interpretation of the spirit and the tter of the law. “re remain yet to be appointed tn the 1 committees of the L. A. W. the im and members of the transporta- nmittee, two members of the mem. committee and one member of the 1d regulations committee. Batchelder, who is the head and f the outlaw wheelmen, has an- i that he will go to Europe tn May urpose of securing recognitidn of onal Cycling Association by the fonal Cyclists’ Association.

If Creedon is successful in this bout his next apsoess will be Jack Root, the Chicago middle weight, at Memphis, April ®. Jimmy Reeder and the ‘‘Kentucky Rose- bud” fought ten rounds to a draw at Al- toona the other night. Reeder did all the leading and had his opponent very weak, but could not land a knockout.

Swaim, according to advices re- ceived from ‘Milwaukee, thas reconsidered his determination to keep in oblivion rather than sign with a minor league team, and he, yesterday, affixed his signature toa Milwaukee Western League contract. But this joy was only momentary. Swaim had barely signed when it started to snow and from a snow it turned into a blizzard .

The hegira to the North will then be general and the Southern metropolis will have a rest from racing pleasures and its attendant excitement until next November. The racing piece of Monday’s card is a handicap at a mile and a sixteenth, in Which Gold Fox with 9% pounds has an enticing appearance Eight-year-old Egbert is now in his vernal form, and with only 101 to carry will hunt Geld Fox home. Lady Callahan carries W2 and may be the contender. Oakland's running just featurea' attraction ‘Monday afternoon is -a half-mile condition race for 2-year-olds. Included in the juveniles colored to start are Basseda, 106; Bathos, 113, and Flamora, 110, all three of whom won their last oats. Then there is Loch Katrine, 105; Rachel C., 101; Galena, 101, and Burdoc, %. At these weights the race appears to lie between Basseda, soos Katrine and Bathos, though Burdoc’s light impost will prove to be quite a factor in the heavy gving: The remaining numbers on both the New Orleans and Oakland programmes are of the seiling variety ana not worth discussing at this distance. The completion of a race meeting is. the turf statisiian’s opportunity. So here are a few figures of the Crescent City Jockev Club’s very successful 102-day fixture, which came to a close last Saturday. . J. McCafferty and Winnie O'Connor stand out in the light by themselves as the two big beneficiaries of the New Or- leans winter campaign. MoCafferty’s horses credited their owners with $11,310 in stakes and purses. O'Connor captured 114 races out of 380 mounts Among the thoroughbreds, King Barley- corn justified his nomenclature and earned the largest sum, $60. won by any ®ne horse. King Barleycorn’s position at the top of the heap is entirely due to his cap- ture of the Cresent City Derby, which was of itself worth $3000 to the winner. Hand- sel and Clay Pointer ran a good second and third in the breadwinners’ list, with $3316 and $3230 respectively. Fourteen owners won $3000 or over dur- ing the Crescent City campaign. Their names and winnings follows: J. J. McCaffer- ty, $11,310: Frank Reagan, $5911; T. M. Berry, S82; J. H. Smith, $179; George Bennet, (27: Jim Arthur, $4630: F. Frisbie, $4461; J. W.

It Settled Beyond Question the Cham- pionship of the St. Louis Foot- ball Association. 4 "Rah for the Shamrocks! A cheer for Bully Kane, who kicked their first goal in Sunday’s great game. Another cheer for Captain Billy Erman, who kicked their second. And a tiger for the McDonough brothers, Jimmy Daly, little Jack Comerford, Mike Hogan, Josh Lowis. Nish Geraghty, their great goalkeeper, and Jerry Erman, their genial manager. And three more cheers and a tizer for Lon Griffin, their great full. Back, whose wonderful work in the last -* f virtually saved the game from being @ fie. And then to wind it all up, three royal cheers for all the gallant boys tm green, and then three cheers more for thé West Ends, who were beaten, but by no means uis- graced. It- was Tommy Cahill, the hustling little President of the Shamrocks, in the club- room at Sportsman's Park, just before his team left for the field, who shouted: “Shall the Shamrocks die? Shall the Shamrocks die? Then every man in Kerry Patch Shall know the reason why.” And it was McSweeny who responded: “No, they won't die; No they won't die. And Kinsella and his Indians Will Know the reason why.”’ It was a bleak Sunday afternoon in March. Chilly winds blew through the stands at Sportsman's Park and two or three inches of enow covered the ground. Still, 2000 dyed in the wool football rooters came out to cheer for their favorites. Had the weather been the right kind there would have been three times that number in attendance. Tt was the last game of the St. Football Association's season, and game was to decide its champlonship. The Shamrocks and West Ends were the competing teams. Before play was called the West Ends were in the lead in the championship race by a single point. To win the championship and the trophy which went with it they had only to play a tie Frame. The Shamrocks, on the other hand had to win a decisive victory to secure leading honors. and they went in and scored that beautifullv. At the close of the afternoon's play the @hamrocke had scored four goals to the West Find’s three. and had won the asso- elation championship so fairly and souare- ly that they left their opponents no hinge nor loon to hang a kick on. Lou's the Rut right here a word for the West Ends. Though beaten their color@ went down with every man on deck and fighting his level best. No foatbal] team-aver organized could put up a better up-hill game than they put up Sunday. Any. other team on earth would have lost heart at the odds that encountered them when they went into the second haf But they never wavered and right royally and gal- lantly they fought their way up the hill and only fell when the coveted treasure appeared almost within their grasp. St. Louisans should be proud of Shamrocks. They should also take off their hats to the West Ends, for no two greater footbail teams ever faced each other. Both teams trained to the hour and every man on them appeared in the pink of condition. Before the game President Cappells had a talk with Referee O'Neill, telling him that all that was needed from him was a fair field and no favor and that he would he thoroughly protected in his work. Cappelis also ‘had the grounds well officered and the result was good order and disci line throughout the afternoon. Mr. O'Neill refereed honestly, conscientiously and well. the The boys in green opened the proceedings with the pigskin in their possession. For the space of two minutes the ball was kept by the Shamrocks, who, by good unting and placing managed to get it near the West Ends’ goal, but in that followed they lost the est Ends then A ae .

This time the honor fell jointly to Daly and Erman, and these two crack forwards, by their united efforts, once more got the ball in front of the West Ends’ goal. A hot scrimmage resulted, the West fightin desperately to ward off the goal. But etter numerous blocks the ball was shot through by Capt.

WASHINGTON, March 27.—Unwittingly Congress, just before its adjournment, gave President McKinley authority to appoint two Admirals of the Navy instead of Hmit- ing the grade to one, as it undoubtedly in- tended The discovery has just been brought to the attention of the officials of the Navy Department and has aroused con- siderable gossip, especially among the friends of Rear-Admirals Sampson and Schicy. President McKinley approved, March 2, “an act creating the office of Admiral of “the Navy,” providing that the President ““e here authorized to appoint, by se- lection and promotion, an Admiral of the Navy who all not be placed apon the retired isi, except upon his own applica- tion; and whenever such office shall be vacated by death or otherwise, the office _ @hall cease to exist.”’ Notwithstanding that the President had already appointed Dewey to be “Admiral of the Navy,’’ -y provided for in the act, ox the of March 3, containing a provision identical in language with the act under which Admiral Dewey had been appointed and confirmed. It has beefi pointed out that the pro- Viston, like the act, provided for the ap- pointment of an officer to be an Admiral by selection and promotion.” Had the act simply read in both cases “by promo- tion,” Admiral Dewey, being the ranking er, would have been appointed and then Rear-Admiral F. V. McNair might be con- sidered eligible for appointment as “an Admiral,”” bui as it specifically stated “by selection and promotion’”’ it is apparent that the President may select any officer he may see fit, and as he has expressed him- self omy recently in terms of high apprecia- tion of Rear-Admira! mpaon's conduct friends of the C anmander of the North At- lantic squadron are confident thar if any- ane is appointed he will be the man riends of r-Admira] Schley would eg erd _ to have hay honor conferred : » Appreciating the te Hea administration toward him, Prem san ~ dl dM way a'so that an interpre e act by a judicia) o .

SUNDAY CLOSING A_ FARCE. One Smart Saloonkeeper Sells Jugs of Beer—Police Evidently Weary of the Short Struggle. The Sunday law is being played “on and off.’’ Its off is “on” and v.ce versa. The. siaking of a Sabbath thirst is an art. Itis all a question of knowing where and how to order what you want, even under the eye of a policeman. This may oT “O, | DON’T KNOW: THERE ARE MORE WAYS THAN ONE.” be learned after many rebuffs and Sahara Sundays or it may be acquired in a minute from some one who is “‘on,”’ For instance, the stranger goes into one of the Washington avenue places that on other Ways is a busy saloon and cafe and quer.es of the any drinks at all, his hands, , and says: “’O, We are selling, walter: “Are you. selling George?’ The walter rolls his eyes ceiling- for Heaven sakes! No, you know, nothing war sir. “TLL TAKE SOME OF THAT COLD THA, PLEASE.” but tea, culd tea and hot tea.” After that it all rests with the stranger He may order tea or go on about his busi- ness and make room for others, for there are always plenty of the latter. The place is crowded with tea drinkers, all with china cups before them. The poor, unso- phist:cated mian may despair of getting a drink of “‘booze’’ in the town, and order tea. It is a moral certainty that he will order hot tea, for to the uninit.ated it seems more arty grey than the other and of a certainty it is hot When the walter brings the hot tea ev- erybody willl laugh at the man and he will become wise, or bolt out In confusion. It is alla matter of tea. Tea is a most excellent beverage: it has long been re- garded as such, even in St. Louis, where breweries abound. There are several! kinds of tea—green tea, black tea, mixed tea, Oolong tea, boolong tea and others. St. a “ACH, BUT WE HAF STEINS.” NO MORE iii Louis is long on tea just now. The cold tea is a recent addition to the list. This brand has many subdivisions, such as Bourbon, rye, extra pale, bottled and draught. You may take your tea with syrup instead of sugar, but cream Is never served. For instance, at the Washington avenue tea house the man who knows will order: “A little cold bourbon tea’ with syrup or Sugar or lemon or whatever he likes in his ten. The waiter serves an immense dinner goblet of cracked ice and water anda china tea cup containing a dark, thin liquid to the depth of about two fingefs placed on on top the other—horizontally—and a tea spoon. Bourbon tea tastes for all the world lke bourbon whisky. If one prefers rye tea, one may have it Or one may have two teas or 19. Rye tea makes one think of the old gag. “Where have I seen that face be- fore?’ If draught tea is ordered it is served in large cups; bottled tea ditto. Pretzels come as an entree with these brands of tea. At the place where thirst is auenched, op- osite the Olympic ter, so much d. aught tea was sold Sunday tnat the nouse ran out of metno—they call the draught tea cups steins down there—and serious inconven- lence resulted to parched playgoers. The waiters were very kind about the serving. If newcomers ordered steins of tea and the steins wore all on duty the waiter would explain to the newcomers that just as soon as the party at. an adjoining table should finish he would speak for the steins and serve the company if they would only walt. When two or three waiters spoke tor the same bunch of steins there was murdering of the Queen's English back where the tea was drawn from the wood. The Way those steins worked over time will certainly tell on them if it in to be kept up.

CROKER’S FRENCH BILL OF FARE TAMMANY’S UNWASHED IN ARMS AGAINST IT. The Silver Question Causes Friction Among Some of Those Who Want to Sit Down to the Rival Dollar-Plate Dinner. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NDW YORK, March 27.—The two Jef- fersonian banquets are making more fun for the onlookers than all the monkeys in the Zoo.

The result may be an utter failure of the din- ner, The general committee of the dollarites met ket night and broke up in a riot. A dozen or more of the leaders were rolling over the floor at one time, slugging at every jump. Just as the police arrived the committee .ecided to go home and doctor up the black eyes and smashed faces that had been so liberally and impartialiy dis- tributed. What will become of the dinner itself remains to be seen. The opinion to-day is that it will fall to the ground between the warring factions. If this should be the case about $1,000 received for tickets! will have to be returned to the subscribers. Mr. Bryan ig at Hot Springs, Ark., and has been appealed to by friende to heip “square” things. The question of indorsing free silver caused the row. If Tammany’s troubles could be_ settled in a free-for-all, ,heir happiness’ «vould be supreme, but they are more serious. “Huitres, Bugzgard’s Bay,’’ means to them Grover Cleveland, and not «a Bowery duck lives Who wants to eat “Grover-That-Was,”’ or anything that bears his name. Mose Levy, Mock Hockstein, Mike Callag- han and “Diamond Joe’’ have employed a French teacher.

Ata conference last night Louis Gordon wiped the dust off his nine-carat diamond stud, adjusted his heavy gold-rimmed eye- glasses and tried to read “Poisson—Filet de Sole a la Joinville.’’ “What kind of a poison got a soui?’’ is that that’s said Mr. Gordon. can't back out, poison or no poison.” Little Charlie Abrahams siudied the menu until he got red in the face. “Extra Dry and Appolinaries,”’ moaned Little Charlie, “that’s all I can make out. I guess I'll have to stick to wine. L think they put appolinarijes on for a bluff. a don't see any corned beef and cabbage there,’ said “Diamond Dan.”’ he “Be patient, Dan.’ said Judge Bolte, maybe it’s there anyhow, only under an assumed name.”’ Just then one of the O’Hoolihan brothers came in red in the neck because Irish stew was not on the bill. And thus it is poor old Tom Jefferson’s glorious birthday anniversary is causing more trouble than ever it did before. BRYAN AT LITTLE ROCK. He Declares That He Loves Principles Above Leadership. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 27.—W illiam Jennings Bryan arrived this morni 8:35 o'clock from Hot Springs and Seon AE » by a committee of members of the Legis- lature and citizens of Little Rock and escorted to the QOapital Hotel, where he held a reception until 10 o’clock. He was then escorted to the State House, first visiting the Senate, where he spoke a few m.nutes and then paid his respects to the House. The hall was crowded with visitors, who loudl cheered the orator, when he en- tered. Mr. Bryan was introduced by Speaker Vandeventer, who said that he was the representative of the best man- hood in America and pledged Arkansas sup- ort of him for President in 190. Mr. ryan made a brief address, declaring that he loved the principles he represented more than leadership of his party. United States Senator Berry, after pay- ing a compliment to Mr. Bryan, quoted what Prentice said in New Orleans after Henry Clay had delivered an address, that “when the eagle soars it was time for bats and owls to hunt their holes” and took his seat amid applause. ; The weather is cold, with frequent show- ers of rain and the crowd that greeted Mr. Bryan was not as large as it other- wise would have been. Neither Howse of the General Assembly transacted business of importance, so much absorbed were the members with Bryan’s presence. BRYAN DENIES A CONFERENCE.

Fearing Not the Foolkiller He Sent a False Report of a Tragedy. The telephone joker was at work again early Monday morning. He rang up the business department’ of a morning newspa- per and announced that Thomas F. Kaut who is connected with the advertising de- partment of that paper, and lives at 182 Schild avenue, had been killed in a street car accident, and that his body was being taken to the morgue in an ambulance. — Representatives of the paper were sen to the morgue to view Mr. Kaut’s body. After they had been there an hour and no body had been received, they became suUs- vicious. They interviewed the Police Department and were informed that no street car ac- cident had been reported. A messenger was dispatched to Mr. Kaut’s home to learn if anything was known of the accident there. Mr. Kaut sent word back to his. sorrowing friends that he was well and strong and had not been in any street car accident. The police have been asked to investigate the telephone message in the hope of locat- ine the box from which it was sent. The person who sent it is believed to be the same joker who has sent so many bogus messages of a distressing character to mrominent St. Louisans over the telephone. NEW ATHLETIC CLUB.
