ROMANTIC HONEYMOON AT SEA WITH BRIDE AS A BUGLER, This 115-Pound Kansas Soldier Has Fought Under Two Flags, Carries Battle Scars and Is the Knight Errant of Amer- ican Volunteers. Special to the Post-Dispatch. TOPEKA, Kan., April 8.—Col. Fred Fun- Ston, Twentieth Kansas Volunteers, has dimmed the glory of many of the brave knights of romance. In atmosphere and Settings as thrilling as any with which fic- tion glorifies its heroes, he has outshone in exploits of love and daring the most fasci- nating characters of fancy. A soldier un- , der two flags, he reserved to “Old Glory’”’ ‘such deeds of valor as make new American | history imperishable and American man- | hood respected by all mankind. | And to the glories of war he has added aS a capsheaf the laurel of love. And in love, ap in war, he exhibited the same qualities of knight errantry. He is D’'Ar- tagnan in real life. He faced Spunish bullets to help Cuba to her independence. He shed his blood on her soil to help wash into forgetfulness the memory of her oppression. The cry from the Maine was a call for his services un- der the Stars and Stripes. He volunteered : to the Governor of his State. The Twentieth Kansas was organized and the regiment was ordered to 'Frisco. Then | caine weeks of weary waiting, with the ‘dull routine of the bivouac on the Presidio. He chafed under the restraint as news of active fighting in Cuba reached him. But one day there came to the Presidio field a sweet-faced visitor, whv listened like Desdemona to his oft-told tales of war and adventure. Curious interest at first on her part; then love. The browned soldier of Cuban battlefields capitulated to Cupid. They did their courting between bugle calls, with the long swell of ‘taps as the parting good night. nila was asking for immedicke reinforce- he wharves; ady for the ments; the troopships lay at the Twentieth Kansas was call. | The next day was set for galling. That evening, after ‘“‘colors’ had been sounded and echoed across the bay, they were mar- ried. But no wives were to accompany the officers. Orders from Washington. But strategy, which won him victories in served Col, Funston in’, love. They could not be parted, orders or no orders. Funston was schooled against surprises im the Cuban jungles. The bride should bedJme a troop- er: should wear the blue of tihe Twentieth Kansas United States Volunteers. She went aboard as a bugler the following day, and every volunteer sailed for Manila with a lighter heart, knowing there was a bride aboard. But the honeymoon was brief. A slow troopship can't outfoot a swift liner even for love. Gen. Otis, Brigade Commander, heard of the, incident soon after the regi- sailed. He couldn’t overlook the ‘breach of army discipline. Orders were by the first steamer which would ‘overtake the Twentieth Kansas at Hono- lulu to send the bride back. The Colonel and his bride were parted, but she foi- lowed him a few days later in a sailing She reached Manila before the ment vessel. fighting. And with the sweet-faced little woman in Manila watching, nay, inspiring him, Col. Funston went on and performed ex- ploits of valor which made him the great fighting hero. It was he who swam the Marilao River under heavy fire, and with % volunteers put the rebels to flight. It was he who was the first American into Malolos. No such story of love and dar- ine has developed in the campaigns of war, His age? Thirty-three. His height? Five feet four inches. His weight? One hundred and fifteen pounds. His deeds? It would take a volume to re- late them. How many battles has he fought? Twes- t-three battles In Cuba and six in and fear Manila. ‘ ‘Has he suffered a wound? His left arm lias been mutilated by the fragments of a ghell; his lungs have been plerced by a Mauser bullet; his thigh has been crushed ! by a horse falling on him in battle, and he bas suffered the tortures of the Cuban fever. Has he ever been near unto death? He @as sentenced to death when a prisoner in the hands of the Spaniards; he wrestled with death In the icy waters of the Yukon River, and afterward almost perished of pneumonia within a short distance of the Arctic Circle. What was his last brilllant exploit? Only this: When the enemy burned the bridges ‘dceross the Marilao River, on March 3B, | vith ® volunteers, he gwam the swift, ‘muddy current, fought his way to the op- posite bank and captured 80 rebels. That's all, only it was a swim that outswim: Leander. Truly, a picturesque personage, this Col. Funston of Kansas.

Officers From Tennessee Aye in New | York With Requisition Papers for His Arrest—A Discarded Woman’s Revenge. NEW YORK, April 9.—Nicholas A. Heck- man, who is the chief witness Roland B. Molineux, is alleged to be a fugitive from Tennessee justice. Officers are here with requisition papers for him, but at 2 o’ciock this morning Heckman was absent from his home. He is probably held against | in hiding by central office detectives, as . they do not want him taken out of the State. Molineux is under indictment and in the Tombs, waiting trial on the charge of caus- Adams and Henry (, Barnett by means of poison sent through the mails, the mystery which so iong puzzied the police and public. After several refusals to do so Heckman identified Molineux as th® man who rented a private letter box and received mail ad- dressed to Henry C. Barnett and Harry Cornish. Following h.m the handwriting experts came and clinched the matter on Molineux. It has been freely said they were less positive before Heckman testi- fied. It is now. charged that Heckman Is a thief, a pickpocket, a convict, “‘No. 602,” who escaped from the Tennessee State prison on April 8, 1893. Gov. McMililen’s charges Heckman with jail-breaking, a crime in Tennessee, whose punishment is not barred by any limi of time. Heckman, sentenced for two years, es- caped a fortnight after his imprisonment. A woman who then loved him, made his escape possible, She gave her last dollar in bribes: she pawned “Ler jewelry for money to bribe. She is a young Southern woman, requisition sissipp!. To shield her family she even now seeks to-hide her name, She tells why she accuses Heckman. She says: “While 1 thave sinned, I believe I can atone for my sin by proving to the world what a villain he is. “Not that I expected to be rewarded in this life, but that I may protect society from a vulture who is preying on it.’’ This young woman, Blanche M. Graham, under oath, tells how she met Heckman, when ‘he pretended to be religious and moved in good society; how he drugged and deceived her; tells of his numervus crimes; his arrest; his escape from prison, aided by her; his desertion of her; his let- ters from New York to her. This woman's affidavit is corroborated by the officer, J. E. Martin, Heckman in Nashville on Nov. 23, 1892. Mil- ler has examined a good photograph of Nicholas A. Heckman and swears the man he arrested P. are one and the same. It is corroborated porter and a lawyer who talked to ‘“‘Ray- mond’ in jail or sat by him in court, who swear “‘Raymond” and “Heckman” are one and the same. It is corroborated by a justice of the peace and rotary public, who ‘has exam- ined the books of the Tennessee State prison and there found “‘Raymond’s” con- viction, imprisonment and escape. Miss Graham's affidavit says stance tnat her home was in Jackson, Miss., and while at school in Merfpnis she met Joseph C. Evans.

RED BUD, Ill, April 8—‘*Thomas Ryan departed this life Dec. 4, 1898." So reads a roughly carvedinscription upon a wooden slab at the fot of a grave in the town cem- etery in the little village east of Red Bud, I}l. Close beside is another grave, rough and unkempt and overrun with wild weeds and briers. Not even a wooden slab marks this spot, but .ypon the trunk of an old elm tree that stands near by someone has rude- ly carved “‘Ransom tSubblefield.”’ The death of Thomas Ryan and his burial beside Ransom Stubblefield. the man he murdered, was the closing act in a re- markable life drama. Thomas Ryan was born an Irish gentleman and died a broken- down outcast. Only a small pension for services in the American civil war kept him from active beggary.

In the French capital he was grad- ually drawn into the society of a fast set whose father was once Governor of Mis- ; Of young men and his descent was rapid. Por some particular wild escapade he was expelled from schoo] in disgrace, -and came to America. He landed in New York in 1854, where he later secured a position as tutor tn the home of a wealthy family. Afterward he filled a like position in Rich- mond, Va., and on the breaking out of hos- between the North and the South enlisted as a volunteer and fought through the war in the Army of the Potumac. At the close of the war Ryan came to Illinois and married an estimable woman and became the father of two sons. Ryan's wife died after a few years, and he again began the wild life that had brought him to disgrace in France. He was finally com- pelled to toil as a common laborer. A few years ago he built a little cabin near the village of Baldwin and lived on the products of a small truck patch and his pension. Not far from his cabin was the Mrs. Stub- blefield was a beautiful woman, and Ryan persuaded her to leave her husband and live with him. Stubblefield had a reputa- tion of being a desperate man, and one day he crept up to the house in which Ryan dwelt and attempted to shoot h'm through the screen door. Ryan, however, was on his guard, and before his enemy could use his gun, fired, killing Stubble- field instafftly. A few months later Ryan and Mrs. Stub- Ryan dled a few weeks ago, while on a protracted spree, and by a strange coincidence was buried beside the man he murdered. ‘A JUDGE DEFENDS HIMSELF.

Unfortunate Woman Doesn’t Know How She Came in Such a Plight and Her Husband, Too, Can’t Account for Her Pre- dicament. | Mrs. Mary Cullen, 60 years old, who lives at 1714 N. Leff-ngwell avenue. was found mired in the mud of a creek bed in St. Louis County, south of Carondelet, early yester- day morning by August Dennert, who lives at Hoffmister Heights, a suburb of the city. She was suffering from exposure and seemed dazed. She was unable to tell a connected story about how she came to be and could not give her correct address, She was sheltered at a nearby house and the St. Louis police were notified. Late last night her husband, Matthew Cullen, called at the house where she had been taken care of and took her home in a car- riage. H's explanation about Ais wife's absence from home did not reach the po- lice department. Mrs. Cullen was discovered by Dennert while the latter was en route to the city from his home. The poor wegpan seemingly had at- tempted to cross the creek bed and had become mired in the deep, sticky mud left by recent freshets., She was crying softly, and pitifully, standing there sinking deeper every min- ute, Dennert procured some boards and pleces of timber and made a rude Bridge from the firm ground to where the woman was. Her weight was slight and he easily lifted her out of the sticky mud. She was car- ried to the home of Chris Noerter, a jus- tice of the peace at the village of Luxem- borg, close by. A report was circulated among the neigh- bors of the Cullens P be yy eed afternooh that Mrs. Cullen had died from the expos- ure and injuries which she had received as a result of being crushed in the mud. This report, Which was not corrected un- t® Mrs. Cullen arrived at her home, accom- panied by her husband, caused great ¢x- citement fm the neighborhood. Until a late hours, those living in the block gathered in groups on the street, discussing the pectillar Character of Mrs. Cullen's accident. When she arrived alive, they were over- joyed and immediately set to work to make a suffering woman as comfortable as pos- sible. A neighbor eaid Mrs. Cullen had not been well recently and had experienced great suffering. She possessed a very timid dis- sition and rarely visited her neghbors, or that reason only little was knéwn of rer.

The English View of the Trouble in Samoa, LONDON, April 8.—The unraveling of. the Samoan entanglement is followed with keen interest here, especially in colonial circles. Germany’s ‘“‘obstinacy,”’ as her attitude is termed here, from the beginning of the troubles, is regarded as incomprehensible," and is said to only explained by a de- sife to get the upper hand in the islands. This view is expressed by a colonial ex- pert, ‘who, writing to the Morning Post, says: “For some reason, never yet explained, Germany regards Samoa as an important link in the foreign policy. Rather than give up Samoa the Germans would go to war. No doubt Germany has not forgotten what a prize Heligoland has proved and the Ger- man Chancellor ossibly anticipated a more important deal if he can only get pos- session of Samoa.” — The newspaper points out the growing importance of Samoa to New Zealand and the significance of the latter's offer to send volunteers to Samoa. ‘ FATAL FIGHT IN A CAMP.

Hall of Boston, Secretary of the Imm(‘gra- tion Restriction League, appeared before the Industrial Commissionto-day and stated the reasons upen which the contention vf the. jeague are based.. The league framed the Lodge immigration bill ‘which was ve- toed by Cleveland in the- Fifty-fourth Con- gress and which, after passing the Senate, was refused cone.deration in The House in the last Congress.

Bills of lading in names of fictitious persons and sight drafts accompanied shipments, Snyder would gell a bill of lading to any person who would pay the draft. The buy- er could go to the depot and get the liquor. Snyder was indicte for maintaining a liquor nuisance, convicted and fined. On appeal the Supreme Court held that he was guilty; that, though he did not own either the Uquoers or building which cone tained them, he nevertheless maintained the nuisance, This method of gettin liquors into dry towns has been employe extensively and was believed to circum- vent the law.

A few days ago Representative A. M. Dockery's hopes and aspirations were set out. Mr.’ Ball is No. 2 of this serial story. If you met Mr. Ball on the street about the first thing he would tell you is that he is a candidate for Governor. He differs in this respect from’ most candidates for so high an office. They are usually coy and maintain a certain amount of reserve about their candidacy. Their friends do their talking for them. Mr. Ball does not hesitate to declare his candidacy on all oc- casions. He has been a candidate since he ran against Lon V. Stephens for the nomination three years ago, when the State Convention, in the summer of 1596, ignored his claims and nominated the man from Sooper County. Mr. Ball didn’t quit running, as most any other man would have done. He kept on running by himself, seeming to enjoy the papeatson of having the track all to him- self. Ball’s methods are unique. He is bovn4d by no conventions. He follows the .n- pulses of his somewhat eccentric nat. eé. Bob Taylor of Tennessee once fiddlec nim- self into the Governorship. If Ball is nom- inated and elected he will owe his success largely to his talent for telling stories. He has a droll way about him, a face which for genuine homeliness can’t be beaten anywhere in Missouri, and his stories never fail to bring a laugh. They usually aid him to make a point in his own favor and he rarely finds an audience, large or sma!l, that is wholly unsympathetic. HON. He its a rough and tumble sort of a fellow, ready to give and take at a mo- ment’'s notice, and never at loss for a quip or a joke or a etory to meet a charge or sharpen an argument, There is something attractive about Mr. Ball's ugliness. It is a very positive qual- ity. and he is suspected of secretly prid- ing himself upon it. He frequently refers to it in a joking way. Ball hails from Pike County.

RESULT OF ANTI-TRUST LAW. BOARDS OF TRADE DENOUNCE THE MEASURE. A Convention of These Bodies Will Meet at Little Rock Wednesday to Induce the Legislature to Modify the Law. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK. Ark., April 8.—Represent- atives of all the accident insurance com- panies doing business in Arkansas have been notified to suspend business on ac- count of the anti-trust law recently en- acted by the Legislature. The anti-insurance provision in the ant!- trust trust law is being denounced by all the boards of trade in the State. A con- vention of the representatives of these in- Stitutions has been called to meet in this city on Wednesday afternoon, and from every city In tho States comes a favorable response to the call. It will probably be the largest convention of buginess men ever held in Arkansas. A great deal of speech- making wil! be indulged in, and a commit- tee will be appointed to draft a communi- cation to the Legislature. requesting that body to modify the anti-trust law, and alse to vote against several bills that are pend- ing which they consider hurtful to the business interests of the State. They will ask the Legislature to adopt the joint res- olution proposing an amendment to the Constitution, exempting cotton and wool- en factories from taxation for a period of five years, and will also request the pass- age of bills donating lands to bona fide railroad builders. The anti-trust law, with its objectionable insurance provision, is not the only meas- ure that is annoying them. Last week a bill, amending the assessment laws of the State. passed the House by a wood-size'l majority. Every business man of any conse- quence in this city, Fort Smith, P.ne Bluff, Helena and Camden and cther towns of any Size in Arkansas are signing petitions re- monstrating against the passage of the bill by the Senate The bill makes it the duty of persons own- ing and controlling mortgages, trust deeds, rromissory notes or other evidences of debt Or secur.ties to list the same and where the debt is not secured by mortgage or deed of trust on land, but the debt is evidenced by note or account, the same shall be listed. It is further provided that persons listing shall give the name of the debtor, the de- scription of the property held as security, and the description of the debt and the true amount of such debts in tabu.ated form, All such claims, both solvent and insolvent, are to be thus Hsted. those deemed to be insol- vent to be so designated. Members of the Leg slature say this meas- ure ‘s intended to prevent tax-dodging. Business men who are members of the Boards of Trade contend that if the bill is enacted into law it will make every man’s private affairs public property; that it is solely in the interest of the foreign banker and jobber, that would force half the busi- ness men of Arkansas, by depriving them of their credit, into bankruptcy. It might in- crease the amount of taxes paid by some men, they argue, but the loss sustained by the State by reason of its de riving the ma- jority of their lines of credit would more than offset the gain. Those who favor the blll say that the counties in which are lo- cated the larger cities do not pay a just proportion of the taxes and that it is the tax-dodger in these cities they are trying to reach, and if they vote for the bilj they believe the rural voters will sustain. This measure wi!l be vigorously opposed by the Roard of Trade Convention. So will the bill which proposes to donate to the counties State lands which have been ac- quired by the State through forfeiture for non-payment of taxes. If these lands be given to.the counties, the Legislatures of the future will thus be prevented from of- fering them as inducements to capitasists to extend the railway facilities of the Srate. It is claimed that the building of railroads alone will place these lands on the tax books and convert them into revenne-pro- ducin property. All these facts will be pre- sented to the Legislature by the Board of Trade Convention Committee. They hope to convince the General Assembly that by letting home concerns alone and by g:ving lands to any syndicate that will build a railroud in Arkansas that in a few years the State will be amply supplied with com- peting lines of railway; that it will be con- verted from an agricultural ‘nto a manu- facturing State, which will result in doub- ling the population in a few years and quadrupling the public revenues. To con- vince the Legislature of these facts will De the object of the convention which mects in this cty Wednesday afternoon. In the Supreme Court to-day a decision was given which upsets the construction herctofore governing relative to the scope of the constitutional amendments re- quiring electors to pay poll tax. The courts in this State have uniformly excluded from jury serv.ce citizens who fail or refuse to pay poll tax. In the opinion to-day the Su- preme Court held that obviously the consti- tutional amendment had no such end in view. Further the court held that an officer who has not paid poll tax is not disqualified. The court says that the amendment simply prohibits the citizen from voting who has property. not pafd his poll tax. EVERY SPRING BRINGS SYSTEMIC CATARRH THE CAPITOL, Seme Striking Personalities Ameng Legislators. WHAT THEY DO AND SAY. JUDGE HAWKINS THE OLDEST MEMBER OF THE BODY. 4 a Senator Vandiver One of the Ex-Con- federates of the Senate, While Judge Hawthorne Is the Republican Diplomat. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY. Mo., April 8.—Judge Hawkins, the representative from Marion County in the House, is now the oldest _member of that body. He is over 70, and retains all the marks of the gentleman of the old school. Courtly and gracious in al; the persona! relations of life. he is uncom- promising ané stubborn in his adherence to the principles which he believes are right. He is one of the few ' House who never permits himself to be le*® aside from his course by the froth ana sparkle of pular measures. If he were not Judge Hawkine. his course in the Leg- islature would be puzzling to his colleagues. If he were anyone else, some of his votes might cause suspicion to be directed at his motives. But no ma:. ever questions any- thing Judge Hawkins does. hey may be- lieve he is wrong, but they always concede that he is sincere. He ia a very. small man physically, but he is a tough custome; to tackle in debate and never heeitates tv declare his opinion on public questions, no matter whom it may hurt. From the mv- ment he entered the Legislature this scs- sion he was classed as a Filipino. This was not pleasing to the Judge, because he believed his course was etrictly Democrat- ic. He believed that he was responsible only to his constituents and to his con science and resented any attempt on the art of Democratic State officials to hold im responsible to them. Senator Davisson of Harrison County Is a strange combination of Republican and Prohibition doctrines. He places his tem- perance opinions higher than his allegianc® to the Republican party. and is therefore not much in sympathy with his party brethren in the Senate. He is a determine. if often ineffectual, fighter, and never gives up. even though he be defeated. -. He re- turns to the fight at the earilest opportun!- ty. He has waged persistent war upon all legislation which favors the liquor busi- ness. In this warfare he has found a 6pecial opponent in Senator Schweickarat. who is the recognized representative of th* liquor interest in the Senate. Both are me® of very positive opinions. Those who were present and heard the debate will alway? remember the collision between them on liquor bill. Senator Schweickardt poked fn at Senator Davisson untill the latter was thoroughly aroused. He made a speech in which, in no delicate manner, he fairly flayed the Senator from St. Louis. Since then Senator Schweickardt has not giver him excuse for repeating the operation. Senator Davisson has the advantage of a thick skin, He has often said his feelings could not be hurt. He is as ready to take as to give, and receives attack with a smile. The eee nce people all over the State have looked to him as their special repre- sentative. —— + aA Senator Vandiver is one of the two one- armed ex-Confederates of the Senate. He left hie right arm on one of the battle- flelds around Petersburg, Va. He was a member of ‘“‘Stonewall’’ Jackson's famous brigade, and is a worshiper of the mem- ory of that gallant leader. He went into the war a private and came out a Brevet- Major with the rank of Lieutenant. He is a genuine Southerner in his language and manner. He can tell the most delightful Southern stories, and the guests at the leg‘elative banquet will always remember with delight nis rabbit story, in which he enacts the part of two negroes on a rabbit hunt. He was educated for the bar. and his story of the reason for hiy abandonment of that profession is a stand.ng joke in the Legislature. When he was a young man the liceneée on jackasses and lawyers was the same, and the Senator says that fact drove him out of the practice of law. He is the wit of the Senate. It is used on all occasions and convulées his auditors. He is unmarried and his age does not prevent him being an old-fashioned, courtly beau and flatterer of all the pretty girls about the Capitol. Judge Hawthorne of Kansas City is the diplomat of the Republican minority. He knows when not to stir up the Democrats, and is called upon often to check the coyrse of his party brethren when they are in- clined to unduly arouse the menagerie. He is also the most conservative of the Re- sublicane. These traits do not prevent him eing one of their leaders and he is al- ways called into their councils. He has always stood between the belligerents of both parties and has counseled peace many times when war was in the air. A quiet word at the right time from the Judge has often prevented a battle. For this reason he commands as much respect from the Democrats as from the Republicans, Chairman George See of Montgomery County, who proposed the investigation of the conduct of Superintendent Coombs of the Fulton Asylum, is a young man who has his political career all before him. He is a brother of Professor See, tRe as- tronomer, who was called from the Mis- souri State Univers'ty to a high place in the Government service. Representative See is a quiet man, who 6eems possessed of abundance of spunk. Nobody believes A Peculiar Ailment Caused by the Catarrhal Diseases of Winter.

The greatest difficulty in the way of treating chronic catarrh is that the patient is so liable to catch cold dur- ing the treatment, and thus delay the cure.

The application of Maria Krauss, George Lay and Frank W. Fuerbacher, trurtces of the estate of the late John Krauss, for an order restraining John H. Brueggemann from selling to innocent parties a note for ' $36.000, which, he claims, Krauss executed to him for a valuabie consideration. was taken under advisement by Judge Ferr as late Saturday afternoon. Brueggemann says the note was given to him for —s his influence with the members of the House of Delegates to s#e- cure the passage of a bill granting a fran- chise to the Southern Electric Hailway Co. The trustees have refused to pay the note on the grounds that Krauss never exe- cuted it; that it was materially altered after it was executed; that there was no consideration for it and that the consider- ation was illegal and contrary to sound public policy. F They say they have asked the court to enjoin Brueggemann from transferring the note, because their defenses, which are ood as long as the instrument remains in is hands, cannot be made against an innocent purchaser for value.

After a long and, at times, heated argument, the pros- ecutor, by 1utuail consent, refused to nlilow his name fo be used. This was done to hurry the matter to the Supreme Court, an understanding being reached between the contending attorneys that on Monday Attorney Gates should apply to Gen, Oren Lansing to inetitute quo Warranto pro- ceedings in the Supreme Court. : It is understood that the Attorney-Gen- eral will refuse this petition, whereupon an application will be made by Attorney Gates to the Supreme Court for a mandamus compelling the Attorney-General. to insti~ tute the proceedings. This will bring the matter before the Supreme Court much sooner than would have been the case had Prosecutor Frager instituted proceedings In the Circuit Court and the contending fac- tions carried it up. The grounds upon which Committee will endeavor to have th: Leod act declared invalid are mainly follows: That the provisions of the act are not clearly set forth dn the title as required by the State constitution; that the constitu- tion expressly prohibis the State from en- gaging in any enterprise of the nature of municipal ownership of railroads, and that the courts have held that the Legisiature cannot delegate power to a municipality to perform acts which the State itself cannot; that the Supreme Court has -hheld that the executive functions of a municpality can- not be vested in a commission, but. must be kept within tts legialative body.

It is a singular fact that London now looks to Americans for its contribution to the programme of social galety. Some of the best houses have been leased for the season by Americans and their occupants are regarded by London shopkeepers with affectionate interest. It is Yomputed that Americans with social aspiration spend at least 2,000,000 pounds during the season in London. HAS TROUBLES OF HER OWN.

His Appointment Was Distasteful and the Cares of the Office Under- mined His Health. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1898, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, April 8.—Thomas Ellis, mem- ber of Parliament and chief whip of the Liberal party, who died of meningitis fol- lowing influenza at Cannes, Wednesday; was the son of a Welsh tenant farmer. He was born in a thatched cottage and until 10 years of age spoke nothing but Welsh. His great exertions for reform in Welsh land system, which in many spects is es bad as the Irish, won him the title of the Parnell of Wales. At first a school teacher, Ellis became sec- retary to Sir John Brunner, the great alkali millionaire, who got him into Parlia- ment. He was appointed assistant by Gladstone, and when Lord Tweedmouth, then the chief whip, went into the House of Lords, Ellis was, to the surprise of every one, named his successor in the Commons by Lord Rosebery. Chief whip is one of the most onerous, difficult and important ositions in the Lower House. t virtually means chief wire puller, and until Ellis’ appointment was always associated with high social position and wealth. As social influences are the most potent means of keeping Eng- lish politicians in good humor, Ellis’ ap- pointment was a reversal of all-traditions, and was not successful. He was unfitted for the position, and|\its worries under- mined his naturally frail constitution and sent him prematurely to the grave. He married only last year. LONDON UP 10 DATE, - — — ITS TWO PIONEER SUNDAY PA- PERS APPEARED TO-DAY. the re- for Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1890, by Press Peblishing Company. LONDON, April 9., 4 a, m.—London’s two pioneer Sunday papers appear to-day. They are of distinctly different types. Mr. Harmsworth’s Sunday Mail is a frank adaptation of the American Sunday newspaper, with features of direct human interest, flustrations and display adver- tisements. In the initial issue Lord Kitchener de- scribes what Khartoum will be in the twen- tieth century. Dr. Schweninger tells the secret of Bismarck’s life. Hall Caine writes on the life of a novelist, and Clement Scott recounts Sir Henry Irving’s struggle for fame. There is a news section on the Hines of the Daily Mail. Sir Edward Lawson's Sunday Telegraph is on the conventional English journalistic model, which the unprecedented success of the Daily Mail would seem to have conclu- sively proved to be out of date. All of the staff of the Daily Telegraph, Sir Edwin Arnold, the pioneer, Bennett Burleigh; H, D. Traill, A. L. Courtney, and others contribute articles on what are to be their fixed topics week by week. T. P O'Connor writes ‘““‘The Boo kof the Week,’ Arnold on “Passing Events,’ Traill contrib- utes a series of fantastics on visitors from the shades. Burleigh describes the “Battles of a Lifetime.’"’ The drama, finance, sport and woman topics are to be regularly treat- ed, in addition to Saturday’s news from all quarters. Your correspondent has already predicted that the other big London dailies will be constrained soon to follow the exar§$ple of their more enterprising rivals. The Daily News mildly attempted yesterday to fore- stall them by publishing for the first time what it calls. “The Saturday page for home reading,”’ consisting of special articles of the Sunday newspaper kind. It actually ventures an illustrated history of the bloomer costume.The News is the non-com- formist organ, and cannot attempt a Sun- day publication without risking a large pro- portion of its circulation. The steady growth and influence of Amer- ican journalistic methods and ideas have waked up the London press from its long spell of somnambulism. Admirable as it is in some departments, the pervading failing of the big London daily has been the traditional superstition that dullness is es- sential to respectability: CONTEMPT FELT IN ENGLAND. The Slow Unraveling of the Dreyfus Tangle Disgusts Britons. LONDON, April 8.—It would be difficult to exaggerate the feeling of quiet and su- perior contempt with which Englishmen watch the unraveling of the Dreyfus tangle. Upon the general staff is contumely es- pecially heaved, and there is a widespread belief that only a huge system of pecula- tion for the benefit of high officials can ex- plain this monumental lying and forgery on the parts of the heads of the army. and the most significant fact of all is thet no one can believe in the desire of the French people to get at the truth. As the Spectator gays to-day: ‘No one in authority is intent upon ob- taining the full truth, while the body of the people so hate the idea of its coming out that they will not even ellow that it ex- ists,” Meanwhile Col, Picquart, who is not even accused of relations with a foreigner. is keptin a military prison month after month wiithout trial, —— because he insisted that the truth should come out. Indeed, France is fast sinking, in men's minds, to the rank of a second rate power. Mrs. Crawford, the best informed of Paris correspondents, puts the fact thus: “French Ambassadors abroad will tell M. Delcasse, if he cares to inquire, that until France probes this iniquitous affair to the bottom, ehe will never recover the respect of foreign nations, Russia, of course, in- cluded, What can | thé search for | truth? M. Faure is dead.’’ | VAUGHAN RUMOR BASELESS. The Cardina] Could Not Be Elected to the Papacy. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1809. by Press l’ublishing Company. LONDON, April &—The report that Cardi- j mal Vaughan is to be nominated for the Papacy at the next conclave by a combi- nation of Germgny, France and Great Bri- taln ia baseless. The Cardinal eald to the Post-Dispatch correspondent to-day, on being asked about the story: “It Its the firet I have heard of such a proposition, which is inven- tion.”’ The only way in which Vaughan could be elected would be through a compromise between two other equaily powerful candi- dates. dt is certain that the Italian Cardli- nails wilil take good care that no “for- elaner’” isa choren and will settle on one of their own number without difficulty when the conclave assembles. Besides, Vaughan has heart disease and hie life le only pro- sone by living in the utmost quiet. Prac- tically all the duties of the Archdiocese fall on the new Coadjutor, Mgr. Brindle. ' mere : .

Ambassador Choate Is at Bournemouth Away From the Infection, Where He Is Rapidly Regaining His Strength and Spirits. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, April 8.—The epidemic of grip is spreading more rapidly than ever. The disease keeps adding to its victims by the hundreds with the result that social func- tions have been brought almost to a stand- still. George Wyndham, just appointed Finan- clal Secretary of the War Department, and husband of the Countess of Grosvenor, who is said to be the handsomest man in the House of Commons, is lying danger- ously ill with bronchitis, following the grip. The wives of four Cabinet Ministers are ill, while numerous members of Par- liament are among the victims of the dis- ease, Ambassador Choate has picked up won- derfully since his visit to Bournemouth, the ba@autifal seaside resort in Hampshire. He now walks owt daily, but at first he only drove for a short time during the warmest part of the day. He has been the recipient of many civilittes at tite hands of the authorities, and yesterday the Mayor of Bournemouth, acting at the request of the Town Council, waited on the Ambassador to welcome him and ex- press the hope of his townspeople that the salubrious ‘air would completely re- store Mr. Choate’s strength. The conversation was quite informal, and the Ambassidor said he could always bear testimony to the curative properties of Bournemouth air, as it had made a new man of him in a few days. Mr. Choate has been very discriminating in dealing wth the social and public invitations show- ered upon him, and Mrs. Choate has re- solved to feel her way very carefully in London society before going in for enter- tainment. The Ambassador has accepted an invitation from the treasurer and benchers of Lincoln’s Inn to dine with them at the end of the month, when sev- eral judges and one or two royalties will be among the guests. There will be no speeches. .« Mrs. Henry White has shown. some sl‘ght improvement this week and will prob- ably go to Bath before long. Extreme quiet, absolute rest and miM air are ordered for her. Sir Herbert Naylor Leyland remains practically in the same condition. His throat affection showing no improvement and the patient being in a state of ex- treme debility, which is very alarming to Lady Leyland. The Blenheim Paster party of the Marl- boroughs was given up at the last mo- ment, owing to the prevalence of the epl- demic and the illness of several of the intended guests. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough have spent Easter in Paris, instead of at Blenheim, the Duchess being oc- cupied a good deal of the time in augment- ing her wardrobe at North's, Naquin’s and Gustave Beers’. She jis looking rather delicate. Lady Randolph Churchill was on a hur- ried visit to Paris this week in connection with her new quarterly. Mrs. Mackay, Mrs. Pie nt Morgan, Mrs. Arthur Paget, Mrs. and Miss Goelet, Lady Lister Kaye and Miss Yznage are also in Paris at present, but most of them, not- withstanding the prevalence of grip, will return for the ndon season next week. The Goelets’ effects have been moved into Wimbrone House, but the Bradley Martins and son have gone to New York for a few weeks’ stay before twking up their residence at their new house in Chester- field Gardens. Some disappointment has been expressel at the intimation that the Duchess of Marl- borough does not propose to entertain on a large scale at Arlington House, as the ball room is not spacious enough to give big dances or receptions. TD PREACH ON RICH UNIONS English Rector’s Theme Will Be Mil- lionaire Marriages With Refer- ence to the Vanderbilts. LONDON, April 8—A so-called up-to- date rector of the City Church of St. Mary-at-Hill, in the center of Billingsgate, announces that his sermon to-morrow night will be ‘‘Milllonaire Marriages,’ with par- ticular reference to the Vanderbilt wed- ding, accompanied by lhime-light views of the Vanderbilts’ New York mansions and the interiors of American millionaires’ residences. e rector intends to dwell upon the worthlessness of worldly goods, contrasting the gorgeous surroundings of the Van- derbdilts and other millionaires with the lives of the field. EMPRESS SEES THE TRIPLETS. She Has Been the Hidden Benefactor of a Poor Mother. BERLIN, April 8.—Another ily was recently augmented by triplets and since then the parents have been the re- cipients of parcels of baby linens and other usefy articlee and a Sister’ of Mercy has arrived to nurse the mother. On Thursday the neighbors were astonished at the sight of an imperial carriage in front of the house. Two iadies and a gentleman emerged from the vehicle and climbed to the fifth story. Entering the room occu- pied by the poor mother one of the ladies said: ‘Good day. I have taken the liberty to come and have a look at the triplets.” It was the Empress of Germany, who, after a long conversation, revealing herself as the unknown benefactor of the family. She left a present of money and promised other assistance. JUSTIN M’CARTHY BETTER. Noted Irish Leader Is Suffering From a Double Cataract. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch.

KIRCHNER BLAMED FOR HURRY. Resident Agent in Egypt, Reports Af- ' . ter Protest, However, That It Was Necessary. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1890, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, April 8.—Owing to the agitation raised in the press here over the action of the Egyptian Government in giving-a tender for the iron bridge of Atbara to an American firm, Lcrd Cromer, British resi- dent agent in Dgypt, has furnished the fol- lowing report to Lord Salisbury: “The time of delivery was an even more important consideration than the price. An English firm offered to deliver the work in six and a half months for £10,490. The price required by the American was £6600 for de- livery in 42 days. The American offer was, therefore, accepted. “These facts merit the attention of bridge builders in Great Britain.”’ The substructure of the bridge in question is in the hands of an Italian contractor. Lork Kitchener is assailed for having, as alleged, altered the tender to suit the requirements of the American contractors without notify.ng the British firms of the alteration. This Incident together with the large orders for locomotives placed by En- glish railroad companies with American firms has put the British manufacturing engineers on the defensive, and the charge against K:tchener which is to be brought before Parliament is a desperate expedient to defeat the methods which are leaving them behind in the competitive race. The employers allege that the restriction un- der which they are placed in the employ- | ment of apprentices by the rules of trade unions renders it impossible for them to keep pace w.th other countries where trade unionism is not powerful. PARIS” PRESS BITTER, =. SS DREYFUS CASE CONTINUES TO STIR THE EDITORS. PARIS, April 8—The Figaro continues the publication of ¢he depositions in the Dreyfus affair. The ensuing press con- troversy increases in bitterness, but there is no popular agitation. The interest now centers in’ the absolutely contrad.ctory statement of Gen. Roget and the examining judge, Bertulus. tt To the question: “Who is the liar? Paul de Cassagnac answers: “I do not believe it is the General.’””’ Resentment is felt at the English press for making light of Gen. Roget's testimony. It is unde- niably clever and impresses public opinion. The anti-revisionists, while violentiy blaming the Figaro, hold fast to the point, which, it is thought, the Deputy Ministry expects the Court of Cassation to main- tain, namely, that no proof of a new fact has been found, technically compelling the revision or the annulment of the sentence already pronounced. Meanwhile, in the midst of contnadictory assertions and pre- sumptive reasoning, unsupported by direct testimony, the fundamental mystery re- mains as dark as ever. The Figaro’s bold step is particularly in- teresting as, last year, its editor unex- pectedly championed Dreyfus. with the re- sult that the paper lost a great number of suig:cribers and the proprietors re- moved the editor from his post. The Figaro has now taken a st which has drawn upon it the formidable hostility of the general staff of.the War Office, which desired secrecy and whose reputation is damaged by the publication of the depo- s*ttions in which there are evidences that the War Department‘ engineered. different trials, influenced witnesses and had the in- tention of preventing the exoculpation of Dreyfus, though the motive of the War De- partment in so doing still remains ob- soure. The depositions show that both M. Cavaignac, the former Minister of War, and Gen. Roget, who restated the whole of the general staff case, failed to produce any direct evidence against Dreyfus. The testimony of Examining Magistrate Burtulus was very damaging. He declared plainly his opinion that Lieut. Du Paty do Clam and Maj, Count Esterhazy are the guilty men. MANY SOLDIERS SUFFERING.. Cerebro Spinal Meningitis Affects Them in Egypt and Cuba. LONDON, April 8—In view of the cabled reports that many of the American soldiers from Cuba have been attacked by cerebro spinal meningitis, a representative of the Associated Press saw the medica] authori- ties of the War Office with reference to the dispatch from Cairo to the Daily Telegram saying that all the Anglo-Egyptian troops have ae removed from Omdurman owing to the persistence of cerebro spinal menin- gitis, due to the former unsanitary condi- tion of the town. Surgeon-Major Muir, who hase just returned from the Soudan, said: ‘The position there is extremely serious. We had greater trouble from the first with the Egyptian troops, but the British sol- diers did not suffer, because they were surrounded by the utmost precautions. The disease is due to unsanitary conditions such as probably prevailed in the case of the hastily organized Cuban campaign. Our campaign on the Upper Nile was planned with time in our favor, and thus the best sanitary arrangements were made for the British soldiers, who escaped.” The report of Baron Cromer, the British agent and Consul-General in Egypt, ie looked upon as ~being a wonderful story of progress and the triumph administrative foresight and mili- vigor. He advocates extending railroad from Khartoum — through to Goedarif and Massala to Suakim and thus tap the territory about the Upper Nile, which Sir Sampel Baker called “The granary of the Soudan.” Goedarif is the center of this grain-producing re- gion. Lord Cromer says that hitherto grain at Khartoum has at times been 6old at fa- mine prices while at Goedarif it c¢ be had in such quantities that it is uns&alable. The railroad will change all of this. WILL FREE THREE PRISONERS. A Trio of Irish Political Captives to Be Releas<d. LONDON, April &—The Government has decided to release the three Irish political prisoners, Mullett, Fitzharris and O'Hanlon, now undergoing life sentences in Mary- borough Jail for participating in the Phenix Park murders. A deputation from the Cor- + ping of 18 blin. headed by the Lord Mayor, went to Dublin Castle In state on Friday and presented a petition for the re- lease of the prisoners. The Lord-Lieutenant replied that he had resolved to release them, but could not fix the date of their release It le generally expected that the prisoners will be set at FIGHTING IN ARABIA.

The German Government earnestly urges the speedy appointment and dispatch of the commission, so as to prevent further difficulties. A foreign office official empowered to speak for the Gayer@ment tells the corre- spondent of ine Jissociated Press that the action of the Americans and British is a clear violation of the Samoa act, that Germany intends to adhere to this view, that she considers the new Government of Samoa illegal and that she has so instruct- ed her Ambassadors at Washington and London. An official.telegram from the German Consul at Apla, Samoa, dated March 24, says minor collisions are daily occurring and that the bombardment continues inter- mitently. The dispatch adds: ‘“‘Tanu yesterday was appointed King at Mulinuu by the other Consuls! and com- manders. Business is at a standstill. All the shops have been closed since March 15.”° The Samoan question holds the attention of the public, the newspapers being full of dispatches and comments on the subject. The Emperor has devoted much time to the matter and has conferred several times on the subject with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron Von Buelow. It is interesting to note that German distrust and dissatisfaction at the latest events are almost entirely at Great Britain, whose attitude is described even in official circles, as being’ dicated by duplicity and unfriendlinesrs.

Spring Humors NEW SCANDAL FOR LONDO Gambling Mania Develops in the Clubs. ~ RUINED. PERSONS MANY A LOSER’S WIFE COMPELS PAR- TIAL RESTITUTION. High Play Carried On in the Most Ex- clusive Sets, and Now a Crusade Has Set in to Forbid Cards in Clubs. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, April 8—The growth of the gambling craze in many forms in London during the last two months has been fre- uentliy mentioned in cablegrams to the ost-Dispatch. This week it has reached a poe when it was unpleasantly brought ome to many, and steps for the control of the evil have been considered. The copper boom brought thousands in a couple of weeks to many smart women, and bridge whist, with the accompaniment of heavy wagering, had filled or emptied the purses of many others, while gambling among men on a much more serious scale was going on in some of the best West End clubs. There is now thé inevitable ecandal. A young member lost nearly $60, the other night at the exclusive Bachelors’ Club, with .the result that he found himself in financial straits, and the whole story of the high play that has been procsecine quietly there for months came before the committee. A strong party in the club is now agitating for the prohibition of card playing altogether, which, if carried out, would cause a large secession, Dut strin- gent regulations are being prepared by the committee to prevent a recurrence of the recent gambling excesses. Then another of the most respectable West End —- clubs has had its gam- ing scandal. For months high play has been carried on tn a private room, ostensi- bly without the knowledge of the club of- ficials, though the fact w known to all the card-playing members. ‘ One player lost heavily and falsified the books of the firm in which he was a partner to cover his losees. The fraud was discovered and he fled. His wife, however, heard how he had lost her fortune and his own, leaving her al- most penniless. She saw the chief member?’ of the coterie among whom he had gam- bled and frankly informed them that unless she got $50,000, which was only a small part of her husban 1's losses, she would cause an exposure of the whole business. The money was paid within five days. This heavy play in reputable clubs is at- tributed to the drastic action of the police in suppressing the recogn West End aming clubs, which were patronized by the nveterate gambiers. The these men have been driven to seek gam- bling excitement at their own clubs, stead- ily extending the area of evil until it has now reached almost un tions in London's best clubs : result is that | ’ ’ ' ; THE TALK OF ~ ALL FUROPE Latest Freak ef the Prine of Wales.

Local Weather Forecaster Hyatt does not believe in the féng distance predictions of almanac makers. “The sooner the public understands that all such long dis- @ance predictions are guess work, purely, and that at best a gtorm can but be partially foretold 24 hours in advance, the better it will be for the peace of the public mind,” says the doctor. That is the view of common sense reinforced by such posi- tive knowledge aos the science of meteorology affords at the Present time. Nervous people who are filled with fear when the vague and very comprehensive predictions are published, @hould bear in mind that they are not accepted by investi- Sators who follow the ways of natural science. Tornadoes are pretty sure to occur during hot weather, but their paths can- Mot be indicated beforehand.

While not ener- tically and theatrically religious, there is yet a strain of _Peligiour feeling among them which is heard in solemn mo- ‘Tents or on critical occasions.

What conclusion could be drawn from a discontinuance of the investigation, which disclosed so much crookedness and promised vastly more, other than that the uncovering of some Democratic crookedness had frightened the Democratic Sen- ators, or that the rascals who fear exposure are in control of the Senate? It is not surprising that Republican members of the Legis- lature would favor suppressing the investigations.

Will you kindly allow me a few Hines in your paper to correct the erroneous statement made in a St. Louis evening per last Saturday in regard to Henry Bvec. who took his own life. It jas stated that the poor fellow was 4ac- cused by his employer with making quoits and taking them from the shop, and that he was called up by the boss on Friday and given a lecture about it. This statement was entirely false, as Mr. Svec had never been charged with dishon- esty at any time dur'ng the 11 years he had been employed in the foundry. I have worked alongside him ever since he came into the shop and can say that he was tal- ways steady, honest and reliable, a good worker end always cheeful until the last month or six weeks, since which time he brooded over the death of our late em- ployer, J.

Wichita, Kan. CONSTANT READER. Smoke Prevention. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In a recent issue of the Post-Dispatch Mr. William H. Bryan, the consulting en-’ gineer, wrote about the smoke nuisance. It is quite easy for a consulting engineer to write these glowing words about what can be done at some one else’s sorrow and expense. He says Ilinois coal can be burned under boilers without mak- ing smoke. It ts possible to do this under some boilers with an additional expense of coal, and an incandescent fire hot enough to melt the doors in the furnace of Hades. If Mr. Bryan knows of any one that he speaks of, he will do a very charitable act by giving the names to the public. If. under the old smoke ordnance, 75 per cent of smoke was prevented and a sav- ing of fuel, why did the manufacturers stop using these paying devices? Mr. Bryan says there are a number of these devices in the market at competitive prices. These devices woulti run the fireman crazy and drive the engineer to drink. I have had some experienge with some of these makeshifts, and found them to be expensive and injurious to the boiler. Il am satisfied that most of the manu- facturers in this city would put in a de- vice that would guarantee results. As it was before, most all those that were try- ing to abate the smoke were prosecuted for making smoke and at the time tne pros- ecution’ was going on the city Institutions were smoking like tar kilne. It strikes me that the proper way To ger fhe smoke abated is to offer a premium to the best preventive and test them in the city institutions, and if they work saisfac- torily, the law then can de enforced. No law will stand that will compel the manu- facturer to experiment at his own expense for the benefit of the city. PRACTICAL ENGINEDRR. St. Louis.

CAN TREATIES MAKE TRADE? - THE PROBLEM PRESENTED BY CONDITIONS IN CHINA. Strong Views on Civilization and Commercialism Presented in a New Way by Wu Ting wang , Chinese Minister. m™ PHILADBPLPHIA, April 8.—The third ses- sion of Academy of Political and "Theatal Sciences was held th:s afternoon with Pro- fessor Roland P. Falkner of the University of Pennsylvania in the chair. T abject discussed was “Our Commercial Relations With the Far Hast.”’ R Addresses were made by Worthingtion C. Ford, former Chief of the Bureau of Sta- tistics, United States Treasury Department, and Robert T. Hill, United States Geblogi- cal Survey, The discussion was participated jn by John Ford of the American Asjatic Aszo- ciation, E. T. Chamberlin of the Navigation Bureau, United States Treasury Depart- ment, F. W. Whiteside, Dr. W. P. Wilson, F. R, Johnson, W. E. Torrens of the Na- tional Manufacturers’ Association, E. J. James and L. S Rowe. Mr. Ford said in part: There is a cordon drawn around China, more obstructive than any Chinese wall, and liable on many accounts to be made effective as a complete pronibition on com- merce. It might be assumed the privilege of trade could be assured by a treaty, for a shorter or longer period. Where has a treaty been able to stand in the way of interested attack? The tripartite control of Samoa does not offer as many occasions for difference, as. would the holding of the Chinese coast for commegcial reasons by six os powers, and among the «ix the United tates will not figure. The dual manage- ment of E t was child’s play compared to the problem of Chinese management. What has occurred in Africa, where the native counts for nothing, is only a pale forecast of what may happen in China with six nations contending for commercial ad- vantage among a people numbering 0,- 000,000 souls, earing in mind that the natural resources of the East are to be exploited with all the perfection of modern appliances and cheaper labor than has ever been offered, the following questions sug- gest themselves: How can cotton goods of the United States make other than a limited market in Asia aga:nsi the cottons of India, Japan and China? How can American petroleum, better article as it is, hold more than its own against the Russian oil, supported as it may be by a bounty for political effect? Then there are the oil fields of Langkat to be counted in as competitors. How can Amer.can iron and steel enter markets held to be closed by European countries, each one Of which wishes to keep for its own le the construction of the railroad, the ullding and running of steam vessels, and the profits of the custom house? What bet- ter chance will there be for American ma- chinery, the rojling stock of a railroad, the mining machinery and certa'n textile ma- chines, than now presents itself?

Compare China of the present day with China of 50 years ago, and the progress she has made will be at once apparent. “Though China may not have made very rapid progress from a Western point of view in times past, there are eigns every- where at the present day indicative of a general awakening among the people. The most important question with which the Chinese Government has to deal arises from the spirit of commercialism and the spirit of proselytism. In all the treaties which China, has concluded with Western powers, theré {is an article generally known as the ‘toleration clause.’ his article pro- vides in effect that Christianity inculcates the practice of virtue, and that those pro- fessing or teaching it should not be 4 r- assed or persecuted. This apparently in- nocent provision has not, however, helped to further the cause of Christianity in Chi- na. It must be borne in mind thai this of- ficial recognition of Christianity wag firet obtained from her after a disastrous war The clause was no doubt inserted with the best of intentions. But it had the apparent effect of exciting in the native mind th® unfounded suspicion that a deep-laid po- litical object was intended under the cover of religion, The provision itself was hard- ly necessary, as the S6ubjectg of every treaty power are all protected under the general provisions, which apply equally to missionaries. Unfortunately most of the troubles occurring in China have arisen from riots against missjonaries, Hence it has been said by some foreigners in China that, without missionaries, China would have no foreign complications, I am not i a position aftirm or deny this. “ But let us put the shee on the other foot, and suppose that Confucian mission- aries were sent by the Chinese to forei lands with the avowed purpose of gaini proselytes, and that these missionaries tablish themselves in New York Philade phia, San Francisco and other cittes and that mee | build temples, hold public meet- ings and open schools.

Is it we should at least recognize the principle of righteousness, justice and fair play? If peopie professing Christianity and priding themselves on being highly civil'zed, should still so far misconduct themselves as to disregard the rights of the weak and in- excusably take what does not belong to them. then it would be better not to be- come so civilized. It would be better to live amongst the people who practice the tenets of Confucius and Mencius than amongst a people who profess to believe in tne highest standard of morality, but do not practice what aay believe.

She asks you to treat her in the same way as you would like to be treated. Surely this reasonable request cannot be refused.

I asked him what had been decided upon at the “Grand Clou,”’ the feature of , such as thé Eiffel Tower had been at the last exhibition. He said that the authori- tles were undecided; that a hundred sug- | gestions had been received, a few of whie seemed practicable, but that it would likely be a month or so yet before a final Selection is made. “What about the mam- moth umbrella?’ he continued. “Sieh one of many ideas. We may adopt it— then again we may not.”’ There was something In the manner of the speaker that hinted that the Exposi- tion authorities have a big thing up thelr sleeves, A stroll through the vast inclosure shows that there {s ag enormous amount of work to be done, but Frenchmen are rapid ore ers, and the place may be ready by the first Sunday in ay, 1900. There is to be no general uniformity of color such as characterized ‘he “White City.” The panorama, however, will be a brilllantiy beautiful one, as may be imag- ined trom the sketch of the ain Mspla- nade, with the dome of the Invalides, France's monument to the great Napoleon, showing In the background.

One ef the most elaborate structures will be the muin enrrances. It will be situated on the historic Place de la Concorde. It will consist of 6 turnstiles arranged in the form of a fan.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mc., April 8.—The House to-day, after spirited debate, put the stockyards bill on the calendar for en- Brossment. This stockyards bill is a much more conservative measure than the one killed by the House some weeks ago. lis schedule of charges is an exact duplicate of that, which obtains at the St. Joseph yards, One argumen’ against the other bill was that it cut rates so low that the St. Joseph yards, an infant industry, would be ruined by its passage. When the other bill had been K:lled an oid bill which had been reported to the House was called back to | the committee and amended and this ts the bill reported this morning. It was framed to meet’ the objeciions of tne Bt. Joseph people, with the hope that it might be passed. Several members voted against the other bill because of its radical feat- urs who sald they would be in favor of a bill framed on the lines of th’s measure. They will now be asked to make goon their ' word. The organized lobby has charge of the opposition to this bill and will accept no compromise. Soon after the House met Thomp- Gon of Clay, Chairman of the Commitiee of Agriculture, made a favorable report on the stotkyards bill. O’Connel of Madson, who represented the minority of the com- mittee, submitted an unfavorable report and moved that it be made a special order jor next Thursday at 2 o'clock, but this motion was lost by a standing vote of 2% to 37. Hall of Saline then tinmediately moved to reject the minority report. This raised the indignation of those who favored the min- ority report and opposed the bill. of Kansas City took the floor and attacked Thompson, charging that he had the bill and favorable report in his pocket for two weeks, looking for an opportunity when thcse members who oe it were away, to make the report. e also charged t* * when the chairman called the committ he did not notify the majority of the com- mittee, and met under the pretense of con- sidering a dairy bill. Thompson, the chairman of the commit- tee, took the floor and denied the charges. Fitzgerald, another member of the com- mittee, stood with Thompson. Jones of Butler said that he favored fair considera- tion or the report and that it seemed to him that some of the members were try- ing to jump the report through to defeat. Woolfolk sa'd that the members knew the House would meet this morning, and that the report would probably be sub- mitted. Jones of Butler interrupted, asking that if a majority of the committee had asked the Chairman to not consider the bill until a full committee could be present. This was answered in words to the effect that the committeemen opposing the bill could in the way prevent any action on any bill. Woolfolk then continued pleading that the minority report be rejected. Amick then took the floor and said that he had stood in the aisies for weeks and pleaded that the committee let him know when it Would meet to consider the bill, but that he had not been notified, and that it Was supposed this morning that he would be awuy, as he had told the Chairman yes- | terday that he would prosemy go home to, — 4 and had asked If the report would be submitted, and that the Chairman had re- | fused to answer him about the charges made by Cleary that the bill was aeted upon in the committee under the pretense that it was a dairy bill and that not more than three or four of the members knew otherwise. Jones of Howell then moved as a substi- tute to the motion to reject that the Dill be re-referred to the committee, which mo- fon was lost by a vote of 23 ayes and 64 noes. The motion to reject the minority report then prevailed, and the bill went on the agalendar for engrossment.’ INTENSE SUFFERING FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH TROUBLE Instantly Relieved and Permanently Cured by Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.

MILLIONAIRE STRATTON SENDS A BUYER TO EUROPE. —— iT {S HIS ‘BIRTHSTONE. | He Must Have It Three Carats in Weight, Without a Flaw and Pigeon Blood in Color. ‘ TOPBKA, Kan., Apri! §&—A man passed through Topeka this week over the Santa Fe om a peculiar mission. He was bound for the jewelry markets of Europe with the object in view of finding a faultless ruby for one of the richest mine owners In ‘the world. | He was Mr. Henry Bohm, a wholesale jeweler of Denver, and a_handier of ‘precious stones for the last 2 years. The /man in whose interest he is making the ‘trip is W. 8S.

It must, particularly, be without a flaw. For such a stone Millionaire Stratton has offered the sum of 000. It is a big sum to offer for a ruby of that ‘size, but to a man who ‘has millions at his disposal {t amounts to a mere nothing. The mining king of Colorado has determined that his shirt front shall be ornamented by a ruby as precious as any similar stone in existence, and he is backing his determina- tion with cold cash. eee ee} For the last year Mr. Bohm has held an offer of $10,000 from Mr. Stratton for such a stone, but shortly before the mine owner started for London to open negotia- tions for the sale of the Independence mine Mr. Bohm conveyed to him the information that it was impossible to secure the stone l® desirei on the American market. There- upon the offer was doubted, and Stratton told the Denver jeweler to hunt for the MT NN Ik MI MN I a aN NI I MI NCA ON MI No Ma a ICN a Mr. Bohm expects to remain in Europe during the next two months.

He was told that it would and his next yuegtion was: ‘“‘How large a stone would be Tome right for a stud?” rt three-carat stone,” |] sald Mr. Bohm. “Any difference in the color of rub‘es?”’ “Pigeon blood denotes the purest stone,”’ replied the jeweler. “Well, I'll tell you what I'll do,” said Stratton, “if you get me that kind of a stone, one that hasn't a flaw in it, I'll give you $10,000 the minute it’s delivered. I'll leave it to your judgment and expect you to get me just what's right.” That was all that was said.

There will be an increased acreage of corn.” The area of wheat planted in Kansas last fall. as reported by the State Board of Ag- riculture, was 4,640,000 acres, an increase of only 3 per cent over the area of the pre- vious year. It is likely, however, that the acreage is close to 5,000,000 acres, for the private reports show a much greater in- crease than 3 per cent. If half the area should be abandoned, the remaining 2,500 - 000 acres might produce over 40,000,000 bush- els of wheat under favorable conditions. The yield of 1898 was 60,795,000 bushels, ac- cording to the State report. It is well to bear in mind, in considering crop news, -that reports are almost always exaggerate. It is possible that the pres- ent reports of 50 per cent dagnage may be modifted one-half, after a week or so of growing Weather, and it may be still pos- sible for Kansas to raise about as much wheat as last year but the great majority of country men who have written to grain men here seem positive that their reports have not been exag@erated.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS HE HAS BEEN -WORKING QUIETLY. 7 nen There Are Matthews and Ken- nish, tne Railway Commissioner Seems to Be the Strong Man Just Now. = Special to the Post-Dispatcb. JEFPFWRSON CITY, Mo., April 8 —The Republicans as well as the Democrats are beginning to think about the gubernatorial Campaign of 199. They are casting about for availleblie men who will be in the race for the nomination. They do not have to Jook far. At the head of the list is Joseph Flory, the Republican member of the Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners, who with John R. Kirk, cerried Missours for the Republicans in 18%. Mr. Flory has qguietiy been a candidate for the Republican gubernatoria) nomination for several months. But he has not followed the tac- ties of his possible opponent, A.M. Dockery, in advertising his candidacy. His work has been very quiet, but it has been so effec- tive among members of the Legislature that many of them will go to their homes @t the end of the session his devoted follow- ere, determined to do ail in their power to cause his nomination. Mr. Flory has Occupied a peculfarly ad- Vaniageous position since the Legislature convened. He has been the only Republic- the Statehouse. ‘his has Yen him a tremendous prestige among Ublican members of the Legislature, they have taken him into their coun- ells and deferred to his opinions on many Questions of policy. Flory has other advantages. Prior to his Candidacy for the position he now holds, he was a conductor on a througk Wabash neer train, and one of the most popu- ron the road. He was popular with the men of all branches of the service, and with the employes of other roads. He had come up from thea bottom of raljiroad ser- Vice. and had never got too proud to have @ fellow-feeiing for the engine-wiper and the switchman. When he was nominated for the Ra:lroad and Warehouse Commis- gion in 1894, he lwad no idea that he would Be elected, and neither did the most san- Ine of his party. But the morning atter ect.on day Missourians woke up to the Onishing fact that their State had gone Udlican. The impossible had been ac- complished, and Mr. F.ory was one off those Who had brought it about. There'is no doubt that the votes of railroad men con- tributed largely to his success that year; and he has lost none of his popularity with them since h:s election. He has remained the same ‘“‘Joe"’ Flory, old comrade to the boys on the road, and can talk with as much geniality and real interest with the @ngineer and the brakeman as ever. And it would seem that the Repubiicans in the Legisiatire have shaped their course es- age with a view to helping his candi- acy with the people. They have faithfully stood up us protectors of the interests cf the railroad man, as he sees them. The .wb employe poses any reduction of éllroad rates on the ground that a reduc- mon would decrease his wages, and Repub- jean votes have defeated all attempts by the Legisiature to cut the rates. . Flory could ene bly. expect the support of the many thousand railroad employes of the tate, and through them of a large part of the organ- labor vote.

Y., April 8 —Victor Williams, who is reputed to be worth near- ly $200,000 and whose mortgages, leases and contracts blanket many a farm in the towns of Lyme, Lorraine and Cape Vin- cent, walked into Watertown from Three- Mile Bay, where he lives with a nephew and “does chores for his board,’’ this week, carrying slung across hie arm a well- biacked pair of cowhide boots, in- which were stowed away big rolls of greenbacks aggregating many eousands of dollars, besides other securities rivaling the contents of many a country bank vauit. The old capitalist had been on a collect- ing tour among the farme of the mentioned towns, gathering in the interest on his mortgages and stuffing it into his boot-leg banks and, coming to Watertown, deposited his gatherings in the vadits of certain of the city banks, after which he started out to walk back to the farm, leaving early that he might reach home in time—to take care of the farmer's stock. In appearance the old man, who must have paesed his Sth birthday, is sugges- tive of anything but a capitalist, as his cowhide beots, which he always carries with him on his trips, are suggestive of anything but the depositories of money and securities. He wears, winter and summer, ‘a well-patched pair of brown denim over- (alle stuffed into a faded pair of long-legged rubber boots, while his coat is belted around his stooped and bent body by a piece of clothesline with an iron ring in lieu of a buckle. His gray hair protrudes from be- neath a long-drawn Scotch cap and his shrewd and wrinkled visage is framed with a fringe of gray beard. fis eyes in spite of his ® years are as keen as a hawk’s and he never for an instant allows his glance to wander from his boot-leg banks.

Cause of Jeu Chow’s Death Still a Mystery. LIKE THE LOU JOHNSON CASE. WORK OF THE DETECTIVES ALL FOR NOTHING. Gomplication of Facts and Circumstan- ces That Has Confronted Every Step of the Police In- vestigation. The Jeu Chow murder remains a mystery, and seemingly an impenetrable one, since three days have elapsed from the time Chow’s body was discovered and not one Glew has been turned up. The remains of the dead Chinese have been removed from the Morgue to the un- ng rooms of Smithers & Wagoner the hiding place, Two men were undoubtedly required to carry Chow into the hiding place. But how two men or two dozen men could carry the body of a man over a fence nine feet high, or under it, and into a dark, nar- row littlo place like the passageway wun- der the tank is what puzzles the seekers after a solution more than anything els¢é in the case. A night watchman who patrols the yard of the oll company where the body was hidden Is required to pass within fifteen feet of the tank under which Chow's body lay every fifteen minutes. He has done this according tc the electrical checking device every night for weeks. Chow's various cousins in town are great- ly wrought up over the murder. The other Chinese take it philosophically. SAVED HIs LIFE. How He Told “Cherokee Bob” a Funny Story on Himself. From the Liquor Trades Review. “Talking of taking drinks with strang- ers,” said the bald-headed man with the timid voice (a subject no one had broached), “I’ve always thought the near- est I ever came to Kingdom-come was the time I.was taking a drink with Cherokee Bob. It was up at Lewiston, on Snake River, the year Salmon River broke out. I was in the express business, and when I struck the place distinguished residents were pointed out to me, and among them Cherokee Bob. There was a pair of ‘em in company, Cherokee and one Willoughby: they were killed together a few months after in Florence. Cherokee had robbed the express repeatedly back in California, but I'd never seen him. So when the big FATAL ROOM IN HOP ALLEY. (Rear of 719 Walnut Street, Where Lou Johnson Was Killed and Where Jei Chow Lived Before the Murder.) ‘| i t. —— ~ al . » —— —= BX ass — “ s -— - by Tue Tom, a cousin The funeral will probably be held Monday. Chow's corpse, with the head hacked, was found Wednesday last, at about ll a. m, When the detectives who are working on the case quit Saturday night for the day they had not learned a single fact that pointed _to the solution of the mystery. A blood-s Mined hatchet was found at the Jeu say laundry, 1208 Chouteau avenue, but it was stained in the execution of a duck. Theorizing has been abandoned by the police department and a systematic inves- tigation is now being pureued with a view to finding out where and how Chow spent his time after he was last seen by friends, Which was on Monday, March 27. This murder will take place in criminal history ahead of any that has so far blotted the pages of the city’s record be- cause of the multitude of peculiar facts in the case—strange beyond the power of AM magination. It is supposedly a repetition of the Lou Johnson case, but there are far more com- peeetions in it than those the officers had © deal with 10 years ago in unraveling the tangle of evidence presented. An there is. a connection—at least a mews connection—between the two crimes. Johnson was murdered in an opium den in Hop wg f The den was in a house in the rear of 719 Walnut street. Johnson's body War found An a second-story front room, horribly mutilated. The head was imbedded in a bucket or pot of rice. What was then a public opium den has since become a private Chinese club. ofr course opium is still smoked there. Chinese 2 have no fixed piace of abode smoke @nad sieep there. Jeu Chow was a habitue of the club at Various times during the last year. When at the club Chow slept on the one big broad pallet in the front room. Wonder if the opium-fed imagination of Chow ever pictured his own possible fate after having informed on Highbinders, while lying in the room where still the stains of ohnson’s blood remain, despite the wear of time. In the face of such contradictory facts @s exist in this case it would be unwise to assert With any degree of positiveness that Drppability | did commit the murder, The D ility leans that way. how was a Christian Chinese. This fact aas been dilated upon at length in some newspapers and pointed to as a probable cause for the hatred of Highbinders. Such is not the case. Chow was a Christian and an indifferent one. Many of his ‘cousins’ or distant relatives are not Christians. Chow affillated with his heathen country- men. While there may be no Highbinders who are professed Christians, the fact that @ Chinese is a Christian does not militate inst his rema.ning in the vicinity of a hbinder lodge. ow was a wanderer. During the 10 ears that he spent in America he inhab- ted all the large cities of the country. At times he operated a grocery store. Again e did a financial business, and when the ad ife was exceptionally rough Chow would take to the lowly washtub and hang out a red laundry sign. Chow was never wealthy, but he was frequent'v in a position to be independent of all reons save his patrons. Sometimes he per orce partook of Chinese hospitality, which is not begrudged—nor is t more than wholesome. Chow was in a bad wee physically and financially just prior to his death. He was in the clutch of consumption and forced to earn his living with a washboard. He worked on some sort of a percentage basis at Joe Kay's laundry, 1458 O'Fallon street. The Chinese doctor who treated him for consumption advised him that the steam from boiling clothes would be good for him to inhale. On the day of Chow's disappearance he — the laundry between 9 and 10 o'clock nm the morning, telling Kay he was going downtown to get some medicine. The pro- Prietors of the Chinese drug stores in fiop alley, where Chow traded, state that he did mot call on them. No Chinese in the alley will admit hav- ing seen Chow since the day he went away from the laundry. The Chinese wil! either mol be able to speak English or fall to remem ber having seen or heard of Chow. Chow's body was discovered last Wednes- Gay in @ narrow passageway in the brick foundation of a gasoline tank. The body ay in a position which showed it had Carefully placed. The arms were folded across the breast and the dead Gelestial rested on the Mat of his back.

They Were Captured in St. Louis With a Complete Set of Burglars’ Tools in Their Pos- session. Sherif R. S. McCall of Montgomery County, Mo., arrived in St. Louis last night with warrants for John P. Ryan and Frank P. Howard, the two alleged safe blowers who were arrested Friday night at the Hotel Junior, as told in yesterday's Post- Dispatch. The warrants charge the men with enter- ing the Wellsville, Mo., Bank last Thursday morning and attempting to blow open the safe. Sheriff ‘McCall says he is confident Ryan and Howard are the men wanted. He will leave this morning with his prison- ers. The attempted robbery at Wellsville was a bold piece of work, though unsuccessful. Last Wednesday night, according to the story toki last night by Sheriff MeCnll. four strange men entered the little city of Wellsville, on the Wabash Raliroad. miles west of St. Louis. Two of the men were large and two were small. All were well dressed. The small men. the Sheriff says, answer the description of Ryan ana Howard. Wellsville has but few over 1000 inhab- itants and there is only one policeman on duty after nightfall. His name is Coonrod Menz, and he is not so young and active as he once was. The men separated, the large mem going in one direction and the small ones in another. Farmer Samuel Kniffel saw the quartette in consultation and saw them Separate. He,met them about midnight, and as they Frere Strangers he paid more than passing heed to them. The safe blowers waited until the saloon adjoining the bank closed before they made a move. It was nearly 1 o'clock Thursday morning when one of the large men of the quartette followed old Coonrod Menz and told him he was cold and penniless and wanted a place to sleep. The Marsha] told the fellow the only place he could offer him was in the calaboose, and if he wanted to go there he would show him the way. The offer was accepted. The stranger did not have much to say on the way, though the village Marshal attempted to draw him out. When they reached the calaboose Menz drew his keys and unlocked the door. As it swung open the stranger dealt the Marshal a stunning blow on tne heer with his fist. The officer \fell to the ground and the stranger sprang upon him and clutched his throat tightly te prevent any outcry. An instant later one of his pals ran to his aid and Menz was bound hand and foot. A €ag was made of the woolen comforter that Menz wore around his neck. This was thrust into his mouth and was held in — \ ‘ NW, ae Wy ees - Wine Ss et ae.

That was where I set foot on the first rung of the ladder that leads to heaven. Well, a day or two after that'I was kind o’ loafin’ in a dance house, where there was a pretty nice girl behind the bar, when in sa'nters that ornery lop-sided chap. He and the girl spoke and I asked him what he'd take. You've caught on that I'm mistaking him for Willoughby, so by way of making things sociable and friendly, I ups and tells ‘em both a good story on his friend, Cherokee Bob. It was a stage- robbery story, too, but there wasn’t any- thing in it derogatory to Cherokee as a per- fect gentleman. In fact, it was about a game that had been put up on us express- men. and the laugh was on us. So! saiied along genial with my little yarn and saw that my friend in petticoats was a lIecetle whiter than her own shift; and my friend ‘Willoughby’ was lookin’ at me steady with a pair of eyes that was green. But somehow I suspicioned nothing, and finished my little fool yarn and took a laugh like a man does, you know. My female friend she smiles kind 0’ sickly, and ‘Willoughby’ gives a constricted cackle Of a laugh and ea'nters out as though he hadn't a thing elise to do. “ “Do you know who you've been talking to?’ asks May. Her name was May; she went on the stage afterwards. “ *Yes,’ says I, cheerful, ‘that’s Willough- by; he’s running with Cherokee Bob.’ “ “O, Is it?’ says ehe, significant like: then she adds: ‘You've been having a drink with Cherokee Bob.’ Then I took another one. But, say, it was lucky I never suspicioned anything, for if I'd faltered Cherokee would have thought I was playing him for a Chinaman, and that would have been the last of your Uncle Fuller. I don't mind if I do; same, barkeep.”’ How He Came to Find It Out. From the San Francisco Argonaut. Bill Nye was once chatting with Senater Shiricy of Maine and remarked upon the fact that he (Nye) was born at Shirley, in the Senator’s State adding that the town bad doubtless been named for one of the Senator's ancestors. “I didn’t know,"’ sald the Senator, “that there was such a town in Maine as Shirley.” “I dida’t know it, either,’’ sald Nye, “‘anti) I was born there.” Anticipation. From the New York World. “Now.” sald the man who had edéministered the knockout Grose. ‘“‘we might as well relieve him of his watch and chain and diamond pip and his "Yoo," replied the companion cash "When be wakes up be ought to feel greatiy relieved.’ A Kentucky farmer, noticing a tree on h place filled with something that looked ike back, fruit, inepected it more closely and u c were frozen to the limbs position by wa rope that was tied around his head. Then Menz was carried into the calaboose and deposited on the floor. The door was locked and the robbers had the town practically at their mercy. They went directly to the bank and proceeded to force an entrance by the front door. Inside the bank was a big vault with a large, old-fashioned door that appeared to lock with a key. The key hole was filled with powder and a fuse whs lighted. The explosion was suf- fictent to blow out the old-fashioned lock, but the robbers made a discovery. The vault had been reinforced with a com- bination lock that controlled two large bolts that were unaffected by the blast. The cracksmen made a fresh attack on the door, but theg did not get it open. It it supposed they Were .disturbed at their work and were ightened away, as day- light was fast ayproaching. “he robbery was discovered the (first thing in the morning. The night marshal was liberated and his description of the men tallied with that given by Farmer Kniffel. Sheriff McCall was immediately notified and he succeeded in getting the two large men. The two small men, he learned, were headed toward St. Louis. He wired Chief Desmond, giving their de- scriptions, Mr. McCall is confident the men arrested by Detectives Tracy and Tucker are his men. When arrested there was a full set of safe-blowers’ tools found in their nw sessicn. Enough dynamite was in their valise to blow up Union Station. Besides this there were drills, blow pipes, fuses, percussion caps and revolvers. Altogether it is said to be the finest outfit of the kind ever captured in St. Louis. Chief Desmond had Ryan and Howard in the “sweat box’’ for more than an hour last night, but the men denied any connection with the Wellsville job, though they admit they were only_ recently re- leased from the Kansas State Prison. How- ard served three years for yy - and Ryan two years for using the malis for a echeme to defraud.

ALL SORTS OF STOCES ARE NOW POPULAR. Exciting Scenes at the Stock Board on ‘Change, in the Bucket Shops and Among the Leased Wire Men. One notable effect of the recent flurry in stocks has been a remarkable increase in the volume of speculative trading in securi- ties by St. Louisans. Men—and for that matter women—who would never be suspected of such a4 ten- dency, are hurrying to invest their money on their own or somebody else’s judgment; usually the latter. | In the last week fortunes have been made and lost for the account of persons who never took a fiyer in stocks before. Not a few St. Loutsans had a painful experience of the financial effect of trust-making when some of the industrials dropped from the fictitious prices to which they had been boosted by sheer manipulat.on. but if tney have any money left they will not cease their operations, for it is a fas- cinating game which many get a smatter- ing of ana few master. Once they enter it few leave it until confronted by tue strong- est of dissuaders, an empty purse. Onivy a few months @go prominent mem- bers of the Merchants’ Exchange were se- ‘jously discussing the advisability of dis- continuing the quotation of New York stocks and removing the big stock board from the floor. That board is now the center of the undivided and absorbing at- tention of hundreds who daily attend the sessions of the Exchange. If one does not wet there early he must jostle and look over the heads of others to see the confusing array of tigures and fractions which record the puise beats of the financial world, In the last few weeks a new community has sprung up in the Merchants’ Exchange Building, a small army of stock brokers some of them newcomers and others ol members and “private wire men,’ who formerly devoted their attention solely to the grain commission business. They have offices in the ‘building. So precious is space that new offices, small box- like, have been erected in the lobbies and corridors. These are large enough to con- tain one man, a telegrapn instrument and a typewriter. The ‘‘boss’’ has no occasion to enter his office and jhe never does. if he did the operator would have to vacate to make room for him. He has other work to do. All day long he hustles about the Exchange floor an the corridors, hustling for orders. These he carries to the operator as fast as a pair of nimble legs can take them. In the slang of the race course, he ‘“‘overlooks no bets.”’ It is bad form for one of these Merchants Exchange brokers to carry an order closer than 50 feet from his box-like office. There he stops and shouts to the operator. Time is too precious and he must not be jong away from the stock board, where more, orders are ripe for plucking. The harvest is rich. Investors who are taking their first flyer, and who do not belong to the Merchants’ Exchange, stand outside the doors waiting to uttonhole the busy brokers as they rush in and out of the big hall. - Even clerks about the buflding havé caught the fever and .cre investing their small savings. Option trading on margins appeals most strongly to the average trad- er. The risk required is comparatively small, and the winnings may be large—if he wins. Whether the investor wins or loses the broker is assured his commission, To +h°t evtent he is the only one concerned W.iose prowdt is assured. All of the brokers on Change represent Chicago or New York commission nouns pad nan which they are connected by leased wires. Options on any stock listed may be bought at the rate of $1 a share, irrespective of the quoted value of the stock. ‘As an instance, say an investor desires to buy 20 shares of Missouri Pacific stock, when it is listed at 51%, which means $651.7 a share. He will be required to margin to 5 points, This means that he must put up enough money to protect the commegsion house should the stock drop 5 points, in this case to 46%. For 2 shares he must put up $100, or $1 a point for each share. Should the stock rise in value his winnings are based on his investment of $20 and not $100. Say the Missouri Pacific stock in question should advance 10 points to 61%. If he de- sired to take his profit he would order the broker to eell at that figure. His profi® would be ten times $20, or The broker would hand him his winnings and in addl- tion the money which he put up for mar- gins, keeping out only the revenue tax and the broker’s commission, which is one-half of 1 per cent of the total value of the stock on which an option is bought. Half of this is for placing the order and the other h® for closing it. In this case the total value of the 20 shares of stock concerned would be $1035. The broker's commission would bes $10 and the war tax # cents. The investors would receive $289.60, of which $189.60 would be clear profit. In any event he cannot lose more than the amount originally invested and he can stop the loss at any time before the stock drops five points below the price at which he purchased the option. Thus, if it should o to 47%, he could sell at that and save of his $100. Of all commissions paid, the broker gets half and the house represents the remainder. The so-called “‘bucket shops” daily at- tract hundreds who cannot afford to trade on 'Change. There the commission is only one-eighth of 1 per cent. Besides, smaller stakes are accepted and smaller margins are exacted. In one of these places it is possible to buy an option on 1 shares of stock for $10. This assures a margin of oply one point. If the stock as quoted drops $1 a share the investor is ‘frozen out."" On the other hand, he is not persassten to take profits on an advance of more than one —~, Whether the stock advances one or points, he can at best double his money, less the commission. It is strictly an even money chance, whereas the trader who in- vests with an Exchange broker has odds in his favor. The ‘“‘bucket shops” look like racing poolrooms these days. There are the same busy markers, the same jostling crowd and the same passing of money through little windows at high counters. It is a flourishing game. How long it will last none can tell. It has brought out many thousands of idle money from unexpected hiding places.

Mr. Quinn’s Interest In politics makes him a busy man the year ’round, and one who hag more than the ordinary wear and tear on his mind and nervous system. He speaks of the remedy he uses to guara against break-down in health in the fol- lowing words: CHICAGO, March 8, 1898, Messrs.

From the first taking of Paine’s celery ‘ compound a feeling of hope and encour- agcoment comes over the invalid. This is the universal testimony of thousands. Paine’s celery compound sends new, pure blood to the heart and takes away the weary feeling that comes with debility. The costliest condition for any man or woman in any station of life is that of weakness and disease. Paine’s celery com- pound permanently cures every kind of It quickly furnishes new material to the worn-out nefvous system. The forms that nervous disease take are legion: Dyspepsia, sleeplessness, headache, neuralgia, heart trouble, rheumatism, de- pression and nervous prostration. Paine'’s 2 "teen t ddd if ddd celery compound goes to the root of the — trouble: It creates a new appetite and — prepares the digestive organs to strong, healthy body. z It is strange how people shut their eyes ~ to the patna facts, and live at ease in the midst of evident danger. Scrofula, eczema, jaundice, scalp and skin diseases show as plain as sunlight a vitiated state of the blood. Paine’s celery compound s00n eliminates every trace of impurity from the blood. Sound, lasting health, with its attendant happiness, surely comes from Paine’'s cel- ery compound None are too old to be helped by Paine’s celery compound; none are too young to be benefited. Celery compound is the eat modern remedy for stomach, heart, Nver and kid- nevys. It makes pure, vigorous blood and quiet, healthy nerves. —_——— tem at the season of the year when it is PSL CL TEST LI LICENSES NOT RETURNED. fFome Ministers and Justices of the Peace Under Investigation by the Grand Jury.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean., If the claims of a certain young Chica- goan, who is a recognized expert in his chosen fleld of elctricity, are true, there is going to be a revolution in the elevator business: of this country. He has con- structed a model car which has answered all the requirements of the test, that runs by electricity and dispenses entirely with cables. As he puts it, his elevator is ¢im- ply an application of the trolley system, | with the difference that instead of running ELEVATIONS WITHOUT CABLES. | | : horizontally it runs vertically. This, however, is the least part of his invention. With this new device he ex- pects to run trains of elevators, and to en- tirely do away with the delays now en- countered in high bulldings. Take the Ma- sonic temple, for Instance. With one-hailt of the space now used for elevators a bet- ter service can be provided by the new de- vice. In order to operate it two shafts are necessary, one for ascension an 1 one for de- scension. In these two shafte at the Ma- sonic temple eight elevators can run simultaneously, leaving an interval of five floors between each car. When a car gets to the top of a shaft it simply glides over | to next shaft and begina to descend. | When tt gets to the bottom it gildes over again and begins to ascend. A litue switch in the hand of the operator controls Us every movement. Thus. with two elevator shafts, the service in cars is quedrupied. An automatic device on each car prevents | it getting nearer to the one preceding it than one story. Similarly, the fall of a car is prevented by four arms underneath it which spread out and wedge in cogged raile running up the four sides of the shaft. Any interruption of the electric current breaks a circult which holds these arms and lets them drop into place. In all other respects the car is the same as any ele- vator car, and the appilance can be Atted the i than to them at slight expense The point that will especially recommend this invention to property-owners, how- ever, Is the saving oe space it makes poe- sible and the consequent increase in rev- enue it means for them. In the case of the Masonic Temple, for instance, half of their elevators could be abandoned and the shafts now used by them converted tnto offices If this gave them two more offices on each floor, or say # offices-in all, it would mean an additional tncome of from $7400 to $10,000 a year, with a ¥ better elevator service to thelr tenan soon as 4 rice SPECIAL SALB MME.

Fear of Russian Spies Is Ever With Him, but He Continues His Life Work Without Fear and Ready to Die. a GAN FRANCISCO, April &—‘'So if you please. we will go to my grave,” If wa« an umustal remark to be made at the end of a meal in the open alr on a placid hillside within eyeshot of San Francisco. It wae a day in March, yet the air was so balmy that a meal out of doors, in the shade of a spreading live oak, was Dy no means out ef place. On the breeze came the odorovs revelation of a spreading field of mignonette blooming like weeds, The meal itself had been out of the com- mon. There had been caviare of the roe of sturgeon that had swum the Volga, there had been anchovies from Archangel, picked by the monks of the Troitea, there had been mead such as put courage into the hearts of the Cossacks of the Don in their Jong strug- le against the Varggian, there bad been ea broken from a brick which carried jhe seven veals of Kiakhta on the desert con- fines of Mongolia, and the tobacco with which the host wound up his meal was grown in Russia, and his cigarette he called a papiros So it was quite in keéping when he cheerily proposed a visit to his grave. Yet on the horizon was the smoke of San Francisco, The host led’ the way through an orchard of gnaried and stubby olives, with every branch weighed down with the p le fruit. Thinking of the goal to which the sled, he said: “Perhaps I shall not easily some Gay, but, after all, what mat- ter? The road to the grave is not te | for any of us. But keep to the right and you will find my path passable, Here is my grave. I bave dig it here Where the spun may shine’ forever and the breeges blow and my Attic bees come and make honey. It is all arranged when I g@hall die. My wife shall dress me in my robes Of priest, the men from the ranch below shall carry me here and lay me in this gTave and cover me up, and the eples shall report to the chief of the third section the end of Agaplos Honcharenko, priest and heretic, plotter for liberty and exile.’’ All of the things thus briefly scheduled this simple moujik has been before he foupd a refuge in the hills at the back of Hay- wards, on the road that leads across the Contra Oosta range, and not more than a dozen miles from San Francisco across the bay. Here in almost unneighboriy-solitude he has made his home a refuge and an asylum for che trickling stream of “politt- cals” who find their way out of Sibera and of Saghalien,. The purpose in to all who can spell out the Kyrillie letters of the signboard which extends across the gable of the little cottage and can interpret its single word, “Svoboda,” the “liberty” which Russia secks, For he is not a Nihilist, although the few who know him for more than a peddler of the most savory honey in all California call him such. “They do not know, but I am aay A not nihbilist’—he calls it nigilist—‘‘I am dekabrist, what in English you cal) de- cembrist.’’ at does not seem to make fi any clearer, but the fact remains that he is one of the many who fight against the sees white Czar, and with the egotism of he Russian race may be, he feels that heaven mee be far and the Czar may be gh, yet his plotting in California hills is uly reported to the autocrat’s own ears in the winter palace.

Yet even that was denied him. me petty officta] in his parish reported the zeal of the new pope, and complained that the revenues from sales of spirits were ‘falling off because the. people were taught at the church that drunkenness was a sin. ‘It mav not be advisable to discipline a 4 dre for leading his flock toward cleaner _Mving, but it is possible to attain the same ‘and other wavs. Honcharenko was called from his village seclusion and or- dered to Constantinople, to be priest of the embassy, for such posts had been found ef- fective before in changing the current of life Ja too honest and uncompromising pries as the tomatations which thus assailed m'the you priest passed from the st of douLt to that of heresy, and in "Russia heresy is treason.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April §—This city has won its fight for cheaper street car fares—six tickets for 25 cents, 2% tickets for $1, with transfer privileges, making the fare really 4 cents. Single fares, however,‘ will remain at 6 cents, af at present, The street car com- manies also agree to bear the cost of pav- — between the tracks and for 18 inches on each side. These, in brief, are the terms of the #- year franchise of the Indianapolis Street Rallroad Co. In addition to reducing the fare and doing the paving. agrees to pay the City of Indianapolia Sig 160,000 in cash, in regular installments. The capitalists who organized the new company and who had a proposition pend- ing before the Board of Public Works for a franchise for the laet four weeks came to the city’s terms, and the contract has now been transmitted to the Common Coun- cil for the approval of that body. The franchise does not differ materially from the )atter’e first proposal, except that the terms are better than the compan,’ ‘roposed. The latter offered to give 4 cash and in the franchise a‘ granted it pays $30,000 annually for 27 years of the franchiee. The company will thus pay to the city a total of $1,160,000, which is but a Iitfie in excess of 4 per cent on the sum it 6f- fered in bulk. and out of which the city could have realized 4 per cent and had the principal left at the end of the term.

Mo.. April 8—At 11 o'clock this morning Frank Griffin, editor of the Maryville Dally Review, was shot three times, once !n the groin, once in the neck and once in the mouth, by C. G. Jesse, a former druggist of this city. but who has been out of business for some time. Grif- fin. died at 6 o'clock to-night.

HATS OFF IN CHURCH, THREE COLUMBUS, 0., CHURCHES HAVE ADOPTED RULES. —— COLUMBUS, O., April 8—Three of the leading churches of Columbus—the Fipst Congregational, the Broad Street Methodist and the First Baptist—have adopted rules that women remove their hats. Dr. Washington Gladden of the Congre- gational Church started the custom several weeks ago by simply requesting the ladies to do so. They complied readily then, and @ notice stating that ladles were expected to remove their hats waa posted at each church. * The officials of the Broad Street Church have formally adopted the rule. and gave notice to-day that on and after April 16 it would be the rule in that church that lae- Gies remove their headgear. There ts oppo- Sition among the women, who were not consulted, on tite ground that lady visitors to the church who cannot b: cxpected to know the rule. will often come with their hair not cressed for removing their hats, @nd will be embarrassed. The Baptjat Church has hit upon a new scheme for enforcing the rule. They have employed several maids, who will wait up- on the ladies as they enter, and take their hais and wraps, issuing checks fer them. At is believed that this will cultivate the habit of remoying hats. a HEADACHE is only a symptom—not a | disease. So are Backache, Nervousness, Dizziness and the Blues. They all come from an unhealthy state of the men- strual organs.

DWELLS ON SAXTON’S PERFIDY. THE WOMAN WEPT AS THE JURY HEARD HER SHAME. Her Lawyer Did Not Outline the Theory of the Defense, but Seemed to Justify the Taking of Saxton’s Life. From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. CANTON, O., April 8.—In the barest q@t- lines, the old, old story of a man’s decep- tion and a woman wronged was told to the jury this morning in Mr. Welty's prelimi- nary statement of the cage of Mrs. Anna E, George. It was a tale of surpassing human interest, told in confiected form as a plain recital of so many facts. There was no play of oratory, no appeal for applause, It was like a prelude to a drama and di not reveal as much asa hint of the actua line of defense, Nobody knows now whether Mre, George will make complete denial of the crime, though that is generaHy under- stood to be the defense as planned or whether justifiable homicide will be pleaded a8 @& cause after the prosecution has closed. Mr. Welty arose to make the statement immediately after the opening of court. Instantly the silence became almost acute. The audience, with every eye on the pris- oner, knew that the clever iawyer was to outline a egg of a broken heart and a scandal, long known as rumor, but never before toid with the substance of authority. Mre. George knew, too, the importance Of the moment. She moved forward in her chair, rested her head against her hand, which held a handkerchief. She was gowned, as on all other days of the trial, a ea an wor a feather boa about. her eck, for the air was chilled » and sleet without. Rie neg A few feet apart were her two sons, How- ard and Newton, and during the statement which told of their mother’s shame these boys revealed just the least dit of inter- est. The older lad twisted and turned in | his chair, looking upward, while the younger looked now and therm at his mother and then casually at the jury. Mrs. George revealed emotion at times as the story told in chropological order of her }acquaintance with Sdxton and her down- fall. Tears game to her eyes often, and |she turned her giance from counsel down- |'Ward to the flowers left as usual each morning by a friend. _-* Mr. Wélty, after outlining the claims cf the State, began d'trectly with the distress- story of the woman's life. He said: George formerly lived, was born and raised In an adjoining county. She was of humble but honest parentage. She lived in the little town of Hanoverton. She married Somple CC. George. As a result of that marriage three children were born to them. Theirs was a pleasant. happy home, Mr. George was a carpenter. They. l'ved-there, I think, until 1885 or 1886, when Mrs. George was perhaps, 26 or 27 vears of age. Then they moved to this ‘town in the hope of bettering the wife’s heahh. bringing with them their two boys.”’ Mr. Welty then reviewed at great length the life of Mrs. George from the day she and her family moved into the Sexton Block in par He oictured her as @ good and her family moved into the Saxton “marked her for his own.” He told of Saxton calling as landlord, his show of friendship and willingness to aid the fam. ily, all the time meaning to have the atv ey price. ‘Gradualy he portrayed to Mrs. George.”’ said Mr. Welty. “the ‘humble positon which she occupied and represented to her that she was fitted for a better and higher Plane; that she was not only to be the wife of a humble carpenter, but should be the wife of the proprietor of the block He was persistent in his efforts. and as an evidence of them, commenced to secure her affections and alienated them from her rs oy py giv'ng to her presents. little rifling affairs. rhic rere : ly an Seca which were scornfully re- “That d'd not daunt ‘him. and became so persistent Stance of Mrs. George, the family r ? from the block in 1887.

He made promises to her he persuaded and induced her, and by his own money he had her secure a divorce from her husband. He sent her to South Dakota with his own money: Kept her there and secured for her a divorce. al! the pretext she should become his wife And during that time they went to a hotel and registered and stopped there, and George D. Saxton penned upon the regis- ter of the hotel, the signature of himself and Mrs. George, as George D. Saxton and wife of Canton. “Mr. Saxton had won the love and af- fection of Mrs. George. I say to you. I say in the light of testimony that will follow that from that day until the day he died. he had the affection of Mrs. George. She Was willing to do hie bidding at all times and she was but merely putty in his hands.”’ The lawyer then reviewed the next few years of the woman's life, during which period, he said, Saxton provided the living. He told of Mrs, George and Saxton going to Cleveland where the former took up her res'dence and was frequently visited by Saxton. Then came the turn tn their lives.

That suit Was pending here until 1896, “With other Hit'gation pending, George Saxton again seeks this woman and for purpose of having a conference ower their affaires they visit the City of Allerheny where he registered this woman wife All differences are again tched up, the broken promises of mar- was renewed and he again solicited promised this woman lit wife.

SENATOR-ELECT’S FRIENDS SAY THE OPPOSITION PUT IT UP. Money Will Probably Stay in the State Treasury Until the Next Legislature Shall Meet and Dispose of It., HELPNA. Mont., Apri) 8.—There is In the State Treasury a fund of $30,000 in $1@) bills to which neither the State nor anyone else lays claim. This money known as the “‘boodle fund” and was turned over to a committee appointed by the Legislature to investigate alleged bribery iff the Sena- torial contest which resulted in the elec- tion of W. A. Clark. The money was given to the committee by Fred Whiteside, State Senator from Flathead County, who was unseated iater | in the session on contest instituted by his Republican opponent. The first ballot for United States Scna- tor was taken Jan. 10,’but before that time there had been made against the manager of the campaign for Clark widespread and reiterated charges of corruption by the use of money. The rumors became so persistent that an investigat.on committee was appointed. Its membership was dominated by the enemies of Clark, known as the Daly following, “the Anaconda crowd,” or the “Copper Cvoi- far gang” is —- et ee ee a ee a | —— A ' tention | Senator-elect Clark when Congress meets in A long investigation followed and a final report was not made until after W, A. (Mark was elected Senator, and then it was filed away and no attention paid to It. Meantime a grand jury had been sum- moned by Judge Mcintyre, and after an In- vestigation of several weeks, at which 40 witnesses were examined, the grand jury reported that it had heard no evidence on whioh any accused man could be convicted and returned no indictments. The report of the grand jury and the election of Mr. Clark, who received | the votes of eleven Republicans on the final ballot. ended all legal proceedings retatin to bribery, Mr. Clark being thus acquitte of all charges. The thirty bills of tbe denomination of $1000 each are still in the Keeping of State Treasurer Collins. Several efforts were made in the Legislature to appropriate all or part of the money to various uses, but they all failed. One was to send it to the Montana volunteer regiment in the Phllip- pines, another to divide it among the State educational institutions, another was to advertise for a-claimant, another was to give it to an orphans’ home. Senator Clark promptly denied ownership when the charge was sprung by Whiteside ana from that day to this no one has claim- ed it. Mr. Clark and his friends assert that the money was provided by the Daly fac- tion in furtherance of a conspiracy to de- feat him by creating a scandal. The Daly men. of course, assert that it belonged to Clark. ; | As the Legisiature meets biennially it is resumed that the money will remain in the eeping of the State Treasurer until the meeting of that body two years hence. Though defeated in the Legislature the Anaconda element is credited with the in- of trying to defeat the seating of Decem ber.

That Which Occurred in May, 1897, Occurs Again Almost Circum- stantially in April, 1899—With This Exceptioa, That. the Public Are Now Thoreughly Familiar With the Fees and No Further Offer er Extension Will Be Needed or Expected. In May, 1897, Doctor the period stated. That was not very long this extens'on imperative. Indeed, has never been a special offer made in the history of this practice, during which it was not found necessary to extend the oppor- tunity. There is something in htman nature that MRS. MARY HANEBUTT, Gilea Carbon, Ul, cured of Tota! Deafaess by Doctor Copeland... seems to make the lust days of a special period more attractive than any other. There is an element of procrastination that has t:me and time again Defeated the Purpose. of the offers, and so thronged were the Copeland offices with patients for several hours that nothing’ but a public extension could be made in justice and fairness to all. This has been the history of 10 years. Possibly the public have grown to expect it; anyway, it is a history that invariably re- peats itself, and to-day, just as it was in ‘97, and just as it was in ‘9, and just as it was in '$2. an offer which has engaged the attention of the public for a full month, which has been met with gratitude and with enthusiasm by. hundreds of people,only does half its work, because so large a entage of the people only. seem to realize the last few days of its existence. This offer, however, differs from all oth- ers that have been made, in that It is sim- ply addressed to people who know all about the Copeland practiee, know. all about the Disepveéry of the Cure for Deafness and its wonderful history, who know all about the tremendous wark these physi- cians have been doing for so many years, in that it is, simply a notification to them that the low fees which have been g'ven from. time to time during all these years are to be finally withdrawn. The people know all about what these rates are. It it not a call to the indifferent or the un- interested. It is simply a notification given in all justice and fairness and in a spir't of benevolence as well: it is simply an announcement regarding ‘the course that will have to’ be pursued in the fyture to place some adequate limit upon the extent of the practice. The time period and opportunity under the low fees with which all the people are fam.lar, and which have grdced and made benevolent’ in the eyes of the people the Copeland Practice for-so many years, are given to all during the month of April by virtue of imperative extension. And the offer and arrangement for the month of April comprehends this. It means that all old patients can be placed under regular treatment, to be treat- ed until cured.at the old low rates, provid- ing their- names are enrolled during this coming month of Aprtl, but only during this month.

Through the publication in the Post-Dis- patch Friday of the story and picture of the mysterious modeler held at the East St. Louls Police Station, the mystery has been cleared up, The name an¥ history of the artist have been discovered.

At P~esent He Is Associated in Revi- val Work With the Famous Dwight L. Moody. —— CHICAGO, Ill, April 8&—Two of the world’s most famous evangelists are in Chi- cago at the Moody Bible Institue, resting from their labors in the States of the far West. They are Dwight L. Moody and Richard Tjader, the young Scandinavian who, in company with Prince Oscar of Sweden, preached the gospel in the slums of the great cities on the Baltic Sea and in Russia until the displeasure of the King forced the Prince to retire from the work, Beginning next week, Mr. Tjader probably will hold a series of meetings at the Chi- cago Avenue Church, speaking to the Swedes and Germans of the city in their native languages. Mr. Moody is going to Detroit. He and Mr. Tjader came to Chi- cago from Salt Lake City, where last week they held evangelistic services in the Mor- mon stronghold. The young Norseman presented a_ strik- ing figure as he stood beside Mrs. Moody in her husband's office. Broad-shouldered and over six feet tall, with the splendid physique of his viking ancestors, he ap- peared jike a giant in comparison with some of the stooped and enaemic-looking Much of the statuary and interior stucco | theological students whe gazed at him in — eee , : > we See? tanh ARTIST LEONI AND SOME OF THE MARVELS HE HAS CREATED work which delighted the eyes of hundreds of thousands was the conception of his ar- tistic brain, wrought by the skill of b-s hands. He modeled out of soap the %4-foot Brook- lyn Bridge which excited the amazed ad- miration of all who saw it. This bridge ‘was not only a perfect reproduction in min- jature, down to the smallest details, but there were shown with wonderful fidelity ail of the East R-.ver Islands and some of the bulldings along the shore line. He was retained all through the fair. there being constant need for his services in renewing and fresnening the frail stucco work. At the close of the fair so great was the recognition of his skill he was one of two or three artists engaged out of 2 to rema.n and work on the Field Museum bullding. It is due to his selection for this important work that he is now in the East St. Louis Olice station with a cloud upon his intel- ect. Leoni was at work high up in the dome of the building. He made a misstep ani went ge toward the floor, 75 feet be- low. is fall was partially broken by the ecaffolding, but hie skull! was fractured and he was picked up apparently dead. He lay for weeks in a hospital hovering Detween life and death. He recovered hi’ physical health, but there was a pressure on his .brain which dimmed his reason. His friends had an operation performed by an eminent surgeon. It appeared to have been succeseful. For a few months he was all right. Then he became insane again. His condition came to be regarded as hope- | less. He was sent to the asyium at Kan- kakee. In time he seemed to have recov- ered and he was set free In July, 1897, he was picked up at Sparlan, Marehall County, Lll., without hat, coat Or vest, just ase he was in East St. Louls three weeks ago, and sent to the pour | arm of Marshal) County. He recovereu is reason in a short while and made him- self useful by beautifying the apartmenis under the direction of Superintendent Divil- bliss. Finally his case was taken County Board of Supervisore. with them to be permitted to stay. He eaid he was subject to recurrent attacks of insanity and feared if he was sent away he might fall into bad hands. The rules did not admit of him being kept, however, and he went away. That’! was in September 1897. Where he nas been since that can only be conjectured. From his rambling conversation it is apparent that he has traveled much. It is probable he has been roving all over the country. Leoni has no known relatives jn America. Dut he has many friends in Chicago who would be giad to help him. Througn a fee}- ing of pride he does not want them to know where jhe is or what is his condi- up by the Hie p.eaded on, W. B. Pi a of 10244 Cass avenue, who Was conducting a newspaper at Lacon, in Marshall County in 1897, was well ac- quainted with Leoni and positively iden- tified him from the story and picture in Friday's Post-Dispatch. He will go over to East St. Louis to-day to see him. mi, or Zan, as he calis himse.f, prob- adly to deceive his friends, is rapidly get- ting better. His memory is coming back. Yesterday, when the World's Fair was sux- ested to him, he said he was there and d made the soap Brooklyn br.dge. He even gave the names of all the imands he ad modeled and repeated what some New orkers had said about it, but then his mind wandered again. If he continues to improve Chief Hauss Will soon let him go his way. In the meantime he continues to model out of common laundry soap the most ex- Quisite creations of art.

En- thusiasm over his chosen work and a con- fidence of manner that tells how his suc- cess has been won are apparent in every word and gesture. He speuas of his friend- ship and intimacy with the royal house of Sweden in an unassuming way, but with- out attempting to conceal his admiration for Prince Oscar, both as the son of a King and as a man who would sacrifice the comforts of a palace to improve the conditions of the benighted in his own country and in the State of other Princes. Mr. Tjader is tall and erect, with light hair and mustache and blue eyes. A well- tailored suit of blue serge which fits hbs gigantic figure perfectly shows that he may not be entirely ignorant or disdainful of his ph sical pulchritide. “You must not refer to Prince Oscar as an evangelist,"’ said Mr. Tjader, “for that does not precisely express it. He is an ad- miral :n the royal navy and a statesman of no mean powers, but he its greatly inter- ested in the condition of those who live in the darkness of the slums of Europe, as he is also in general religious work. He is yresident of the Swedish Y. M. C. A. and is a leader of men. Several years ago he attended one of my meetings and afterward I became acquainted w.th him and asso- clated in his reliigious work.

The Prince is about 39 years old. is the second son of King Oscar and is a man in every sense of the word. His fath- er believed it to be out of place for one of the blood-royal to engage in reiigious work of that kina, and it was for poiitical]l rea- sons that he insisted on the Pr.nce’s aban- doning the puipit. Mr. Tjader was born in Stockholm about 30 years ago and was once pastor of an in- dependent church there. He came to Amer- ica after Prince Oscar was compelled to abandon 5, relig.oUs ministrations, and has since en accompanying Mr. Moody on the latter’s tour throughout the West. He preceded Mr. Moody to Salt Lake City and held three meetings there before Mr. Moody's arrival. The gray-bearded and genial Mr. Moaiy looks not a day older than he did durin his jast visit to Chicago. He is accompan!i by Mrs. Moody, and both spent the fore- noon at the Bible Institute, of which he is President. “There isn't much to say about myself, ’ said Mr. Moody, as he looked over the stacks of letters on his desk. “I have been out through Arizona, New Mexico, Cali- fornia an Utah the last six or seven months and have had great success. Last Sunday I preached in the Mormon Taber- nacle to an audience of 7500, half of whom were Mormons. I find that there has been a great religious improvement in California and Utah in the last 10 years.” Then Mr. Moody pick up a thick book with a blue binding and opened it, ghow- ing a list of 16,500 names signed to a peti- tion asking him to visit Australasia and New Zealand. “TI read in a magazine the other day that revival meetings were passing—gcoilng out of custom,”’ he continued. “Does this look like it?

LOUIS’ BENEFITS. ON WHAT IT MEANS TO THIS CITY. Organization That Should Be Formed at Once—The Great Benefits to St. Louis People. J. K. Gwynn, who was the Executive Commissioner for the State of Missouri at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, says of the coming World's Fair in St. Louis: “St. Louis has shouldered a great respon- sibility and undertaken a mighty work. No one who knows the material composing the sinews of her population doubts for a mo- ment that she is equal to the one, and will triumphantly accomplish the other. “If not aiready accomplished, the first thing of prime importance to do is to unify the people of St. Louls in active enthusi- asm for, and support of, the fair. This ac- complished, and their united energies aroused and given harmonious and uniform direction by wise leadership, no fear of failure or humiliation need for a moment be entertained. “But I want to admonish the people of St. Louis that raising the necessary money is only one of the vitally essential factors to creditable success. It is of equal importance that the best busi- ness ability of the city be eniisted in har- monious and untiring endeavor, in p.anning for the wise expenditure and supervising the am Sg disbursement of this money. In short, the best administrative minds of St. Louls must,’in a large degree, sacrifice personal interests to the public good and the glory of achievement while this great work is in hand. . “It passes belief how much chaff must be sifted in an enterprise of this character to get a few. grains of wheat. By this I mean that tnnumerabie crude, ill-consid- ered and ridiculous suggestions for ‘exhib- its,’ ‘features’ and ‘attractions’ are made in all seriousness to the heads of depart- ments. It is surprising how large a per- centage of those who have suggestions to offer secm to regard a great world’s fair as essentially an aggregation of curios, ab- normalities and monstrosities. They ut- terly forget that the fundamental idea is to present in classified form the products of the soil, mine, forest and sea, and the product of man’s skill and handicraft in simplest and most attractive form, and at the same time, surrounded with an en- vironment that appeals, through the senses, to all that is noblest and best in man’s nature. “The first great department to get into working order will, of course, be that of Publicity and Promotion. Upon the effi- cient discharge of the duties of this de- partment the success of the fair must pri- marily depend. The latent enthusiasm and indefinite purpose on the part of the States and cities of the Louisiana Purchase ‘to do something,’ must be fanned, through this department, into a consuming flame of positive and intelligent activity in ‘getting ready.’ Then, too, through this department the nations of the earth must be brought to a realizing sense that considerations of self-interest and national] pride alike de- mand that they be fittingly represented at this great event. “In this connection it may not be im- proper to remark that considerations of fit- ness alone should be taken into the ac- count in making up the personnel of the management of the departments. Politicai, financial and social ‘puils’ should be de- terminedly resisted in a matter sv vitally affecting the character of the enterprise. account of his peculiar fitness to discharge the duties of that position. “As to the effects of this Fair upon the City of St. Louis, I fail to see how they can be otherwise than beneficial. Not only will, practically, all the money raised |.¢ St. Louls be paid back to the citizens of that city, but millions of dollars additiona: will be poured into her coffers, even prio, to the opening of the gates of the Fair. A vast army of workingmen will be em- loyed for two or three years in prepar- ng the buildings and grounds before the opening of the Fair. These must neceesari- ly spend the major portion of their earn- ings in St. Louis for board. clothing and - orig HODG }) wile -~ ‘YY a ~ ts J. K. GWYNN. general expenses. But, in addition to the vast expenditures incurred by the World's Fair Co. proper, it must be remembered that the States. cities, corporations and in- dividuals making exhibits at the Fair must spend large sums of money in buildings, fixtures and preliminary preparttions. “The hotels, boarding houses, street cars, provisioners and shop keepers would reap a harvest for a year or two prior to the formal vpening of the Fair. “Again, every mechanical industry in the city would be overrun with work in push- ing forward the acres of buildings and their appurtenances to completion. Thousands of extra skilled workingmen would have to be added to the normal forces of al] these industrial] establishments, “Speaking of workingmen, I want to di- gress at this point to say that one of the most inepiring sights that I behe!d in con- nection with the World's Fair at Chicago, was to stand in an elevaied position during early morning hours and see §,000 working- men going to their several tasks during tne days immediateiy preceding the opening of the Fair. The sizht, coupled with the thought that they represenied every socia! condition, every phase of intelligence and every degree of skill and dexterity of ev- ery nation on earth, was thrilling in the extreme.”’ THE POET OF POVERTY. Jehan Rictus, the Burns of Wodern France, Who Is Coming to America. Jehan Rictus, the lean. sad poet of the Parisian ‘‘submerged tenth,’’ who is com- ing to America, is very different from the usual poet of the hour. He is not a poser. lie does not come to lecture nor to give readings from his own poems. He does not wish to make money—indeed, could not afford to make money, for he would lose caste. He is and must always be poor. He is the poet of poverty—this lean, sad Jehan. The woes of the tolling masses ] to him. He came from fe streets. The have been his home, and his life nt upon them.

All Paris listened, wondering, to his song. When it first fell upon their ears. it struck them with a sort of shame. it was so plaintive, so real.

Their poems were paper flowers. His were burning red roses. Some of the horde were furious, others thrust their own tinsel away from them and stooped to learn from lean, sad Jehan.

They sang them every- where and derived peace from them. They gang them on the street when they were out for a holiday. They sang them beatin clothes at the wash and picking rags an digging. They sang them sobbing by the little coffin with the four tapers at its head and feet. Jehan entered into their lives and became a4 pars of their existence. And they were proud of him.

HE TOURED WITH A PRINCE. At Present He Is Associated in Revi- val Work With the Famous Dwight L. Moody. —o_ CHICAGO, Ill, April 8&—Two of the world’s most famous evangelists are in Chi- cago at the Moody Bible Institue, resting from their labors in the States of the far West. They are Dwight L. Moody and Richard Tjader, the young Scandinavian who, in company with Prince Oscar of Sweden, preached the gospel in the slums of the great cities on the Baltic Sea and in Russia until the displeasure of the King forced the Prince to retire from the work. Beginning next week, Mr. Tjader probably will hold a series of meetings at the Chi- cago Avenue Church, speaking to the Swedes and Germans of the city in their native languages. Mr. Moody is going to Detroit. He and Mr. Tjader came to Chi- cago from Salt Lake City, where last week they held evangelietic services in the Mor- mon stronghold. The young Norseman presented a_strik- ing figure as he stood beside Mrs. Moody in her husband's office. Broad-shouldered and over six feet tall, with the splendid physique of his viking ancestors, he ap- peared jike a giant in comparison with some of the stooped and enaemic-looking Much of the statuary and interior stucco | theological students whe gazed at him in — » xi, 5 4 2 “ty; -. oo ‘a! ¢ " F te, Ya ony ee! s ~~ i : ath es oe 7 “ 7 = a ~~ , « o Bees tt ie ee ‘ ARTIST LEONI AND SOME OF THE MARVELS HE HAS CREATED ea work which delighted the eyes of hundreds of thousands was the conception of his ar- tistic brain, wrought by the skill of b-s hands. He modeled out of soap the %-foot Brook- lyn Bridge which excited the amazed ad- miration of all who saw it. This bridge was not only a perfect reproduction in min- jature, down to the smallest details, but there were shown with wonderful fidelity ail of the East R-.ver Islands and some of the buildings along the shore !ine. He was retained all through the fair. there being constant need for his services in renewing and fresnening the frail stucco work. At the close of the fair so great was the recognition of his skill he was one of two or three artists engaged out of 3w to rema.n and work on the Field Museum bullding. It is due to his selection for this important work that he is now in the East St. Louis oS station with a cloud upon his intel- ect. Leoni was at work high up in the dome of the building. He made a misstep ani went plunging toward the floer, 75 feet be- low. is fall was partially broken by the ecaffolding, but hie skul! was fractured and he was picked up apparently dead. He lay for weeks in a hospital hovering Detween life and death. He recovered hi’ physical health, but there was a pressure : on his brain which dimmed his reason. His friends had an operation performed by an eminent surgeon. t appeared to have been succeseful. For a few months he was all right. Then he became Insane again. His condition came to be regarded as hope- | less. le was sent to the aéyium at Kan- kakee. In time he seemed to have recov- ered and he was set free In July, 1897, he was picked up at Sparlan, Marehall County, Ul., without hat, coat Or vest, just as he was in Kast Sr. Louls three weeks ago, and sent to the poor arm of Marshal! County. He recovereu is reason in a short while and made him- self useful by beautifying the apartmen:cs under the direction of Superintendent Divil- iss. Finally his case was taken up by the | County Board of Supervisore. He pieaded with them to be permitted to stay. He ealid he was subject to recurrent attacks of insanity and feared if he was sent away he might fall into bad hands. The rules did not admit of kept, however, and he went was in September 1897. since that can only be his rambling conversation it is apparent that he has traveled much. It is probable he has been roving all over the country. Leoni has no known relatives in America. Dut he has many friends in Chicago who would be giad to help him.

This ac- complished, and their united energies aroused and given harmonious and uniform direction by wise leadership, no fear of failure or humiliation need for a moment be entertained. But I want to admonish the people of St. Louis that raising the necessary money is only one of the vitally essential factors to creditable success, It is of equal importance that the best busi- ness ability of the city be eniisted in har- monious and untiring endeavor, in p.anning for the wise expenditure and supervising the ater gg cs disbursement of this money. In short, the best administrative minds of St. Louls must, in a large degree, sacrifice personal interests to the public good and the glory of achievement while this great work is in hand. . “It passes belief how much chaff must be sifted in an enterprise of this character to get a few grains of wheat. By this I mean that innumerabie crude, ill-consid- ered and ridiculous suggestions for ‘exhib- its,’ ‘features’ and ‘attractions’ are made in all seriousness to the heads of depart- ments. It is surprising how large a per- centage of those who have suggestions to offer seem to regard a great world’s fair as essentially an aggregation of curios, ab- normalities and monstrosities. They ut- terly forget that the fundamental idea is to present in classified form the products of the soil, mine, forest and sea, and the product of man’s skill and hendicraft in simplest and most attractive form, and at the same time, surrounded with an en- vironment that appeals, through the senses, to all that is noblest and best in man’s nature. ‘The first great department to get into working order will, of course, be that of Publicity and Promotion. Upon the effi- cient discharge of the duties of this de- partment the success of the fair must pri- marily depend. The latent enthusiasm and indefinite purpose on the part of the States and cities of the Louisiana Purchase ‘to do something.’ must be fanned, through this department, into a consuming flame of positive and intelligent activity in ‘getting ready.’ Then, too, through this department the nations of the earth must be brought to a realizing sense that considerations of self-interest and national] pride alike de- mand that they be fittingly represented at this great event. “In this connection it may not be im- proper to remark that considerations of fit- ness alone should be taken into the ac- count in making up the personnel of the management of the departments. Politicai, financial and social ‘puils’ should be de- terminedly resisted in a matter sv vitally affecting the character of the enterprise. A man eheuld be given a position only ai? account of his peculiar fitness to dischargs the duties of that position. “As to the effects of this Fair upon the City of St. Louls, I fail to see how they can be otherwise than beneficial. Not only will, practically, all] the money raised i.¢ St. Louls be paid back to the citizens of that city, but millions of dollars additiona‘’ will be poured into her coffers, even prio, to the opening of the gates of the air. A vast army of workingmen will be em- loyed for two or three years in prepar- ng the buildings and grounds before opening of the Fair. ly spend the major portion of their earn- ings in St. Louis for board, clothing and \ H) J. K. GWYNN. general expenses. But, in addition to the vast expenditures incurred by the World's Fair Co. proper, it must be remembered that the States. cities, corporations and in- dividuals making exhibits at the Fair must spend large sums of money in buiidings, fixtures and preliminary preparttions. “The hotels, boarding houses, street cars, provisioners and shop keepers would reap a harvest for a year or two prior to the formal vpening of the Fair. “Again, every mechanical industry in the city would be overrun with work ifn push- ing forward the acres of buildings and their appurtenances to completion. Thousands of extra skilled workingmen would have to be added to the normal forces of all these induetria! establishments. “Speaking of workingmen, I want to di- gress at this point to say that one of the most inepiring sights that I behe!d in con- nection with the World's Fair at Chicago, was to stand in an elevaied position during early morning hours and see 8,000 working- men going to their several tasks during tne days immediateiy preceding the opening of the Fair. The sizht, coupled with the thought that they represenied every social condition, every phase of intelligence and every degree of skill and dexterity of ev- ery nation on earth, was thrilling in the extreme.”’ THE POET OF POVERTY.

Still Wilkam di not notify the police of the tragedy. Friday pans passed and early yesterday morning William was told by his mother that the premium on the insurance policy on his father’s life had not been paid for several weeks. This policy, as near as anybody can estimate, amounts to about $200. The premiums due amounted to about $6, neither William nor his mother seem to know the exact amount. He says his wife and mother had charge of all the insur- ance and he never bothered about it.

JOHN SULLIVAN. _——— all agree that they were very tired and hungry and cold when at last their effects were dumped into the Tittle room at 1318 Biddle street. Their first thought was of something to eat. The daughter and son and father set to work to put up the cook stove in the kitchen, and when that task was done, the daughter—they all agree on this point—began to prepare their simple repast. They had brought with them a little tea in a tin can, which old ‘Mrs, Sulli- van says was the remnant of a purchase made the week before. They all agree on that point. The tea was brewed in a tin pot, which oki Mrs. Sullivan says had been rinbed with hot water after the last meal. A few eggs were fried In a little butte. on a pan, which old Mrs, Sullivan avers was clean, it developed while the meal was being cooked that the etovepipe had not been cleaned out, and the room soon filled with smoke from the soft coal fire. Old Mrs. Sullivan recalls that her daugh- ter was almost smothered by the smoke while leaning over the stove. The meal was s00n dispatched and all agree that it tasted like tea and eggs and dry had always taeted. The smoke in the room had by this time become unbearable, so it was de- cided to move the stove into the Mving room and to clean out the pipe. This was done without extinguishing the fire. The old man and the strong son and daughter moved the warm stove, and while the old man cleaned out the pipe the old Placed a plece of cloth over the not overly clean about her person pany quaint turns of speech, She Ewetray any grief over the tragedy ; ed her of a husband and a She is interested in telling about answers quest.ons, seems anx- lease her questioner, seems not to @ to hide anything, and not with- the absence of sorrowful demon- fons, shows no sign of feeling hard- fe ia such a character as one may nany times over in the poor quarters Fourth Police District.

Both William and the old lady claim the policy had not lapsed because there was an agreement with the agent by which he was to prevent its lapsing when the premium was not paid for several weeks; but to avoid the possibility of a dispute, /the old woman wanted the money paid. This is their explanation of their aitempt to pay the premium after the insured was dead. William went to the St. Louis Corset Co. to get the money for the premium. but found it was not convenient to let him have it so early in the day. He went away, afier telling Mr. Edwards to let his wife have the money when she came for it later-in the day. Mr. Edwards asked William why he had not notified the police of the tragedy, and William replied that he had instructed his mother to do that. He returned home, and about 10 o’clock told his wife to go for the money and to pay for the insurance. In the meantime, the old woman had gone out in search of a policeman, but had not found one. She had told a man at Biddle Market about the deaths, asking him to report the matter to the first policeman he saw. She then returned home. About 10:30 Willlam’s wife returned, and he says she told him she had paid for the insurance. At the office of the insurance company this was denied. The man whom old Mrs. Sullivan had asked to report the matter to the police told Officer Timke, who, after reporting to the station, went with Officer Lynch the house of death. They met old Mrs. Sullivan there and took her into custody, and William, the child, Fitzpatrick and Mre. McQuade were also taken to the sta- tion house, where they were locked up. A dead wagon was called and the two bodies removed to the Morgue, Detectives McGrath and O’Brien hurried to the house from the Central office. 3ut detectives and policemen are still without a plausible explanation of the tragedy. From the house were taken the tea pot, containing some of the tea, a small bottle nearly filled with a muddy liquid at the bottom of which had settled a black sedi- ment, a piece of bread, a glass, whose bot- tom was covered with a white powder, a preserve jar, containing a muddy fluid, and a china bottle; containing a liquid of a character unknown. These things were turned over to the Coroner. Yesterday afternoon the bodies were opened an dthe viscere removed from each, sealed in jars and sent to City Chemist Teichmann for analysis. Dr. Nietert, Superintendent of the City Hospital, suspected that Edward Sullivan had been asphyxiated before he learned all the circumstances preceding his going to sleep Thursday night. In the absence of what the doctors call a “history’’ of the case, however, he was not positive that his theory was correct. When a Post- Dispatch reporter last night repeated the circumstances, as related by old Mrs. Sul- livan, and particularly that part relating to being left in the pipeless stove when the family went to eleep, the doctor became positive that he was right. “I suspected asphyxiation as soon as I examined the Gase,” he gaid, “but I had no history to work upan, and until you related these circumstances to me I could not be positive.

His Long and Honorable Career in St, Louis a Monument to His Perse- verance and Keen Intelligence. After a long life and an honorable career, Gen. John Wesley Turner passed peacefully away yesterday morning at 8 o’clock, at his late residence, 717 North Garrison avenue, aged 65 years. Death was the result of an attack of double pneumonia, complicated with a se- vere case of Bright’s disease. Owing to the soldier's age he was unable to suc- cessfully resist the ravages of the illness and the end came shortly after he took to his bed. The entire family, with the ex- ception of his third son, Soulard, sur- rounded his deathbed to receive his last blessings and were with him to the end. In the death of Gen. Turner, St. Louis loses one of her most distinguished citi- zens, @ man ‘who shed luster upon the name and fame of the city of ‘his choice, To a splendid career as a soldier, he added an equally splendid career as a business man. He was successful in all his under- takings, for he possessed indomitable pluck and perseverance and to the last re- tained his wonderful command over men, He was a ‘born leader, and had ihe ex- tended the field of his activities to politics, his other records justify the assertion that he would have been successful in that. Gen. Turner, while not a self-educated man, was really a self-made man, since all he had was the result of his own exertions, He was the son of John B. and Martha Voluntine Turner and was born in 1833 in the little village of Maltaville, Saratoga County, New York. There he passed his boyhood days; his arents removing in 1843 to Chicago, then hardly more than an insignificant frontier town. ; Gen. Turner’s father was a railroad con- structor and, ag such, achieved the dis- tinction of being the one to build the first road connecting the Mississippi River with the great East. It was called the Galena GEN. JOHN W. TURNER. & Chicago Railroad, and with other West- ern lines is a monument to the elder Tur- ner’s skill. The General was proud of the good work hie father had accomplished and was wont to frequently refer to the old gentleman. Young John attended the public schools of the little city until 1851 when, through the kindness of Hon. J. W. Wentworth, familiarly known as “‘Long John,” he was appointed to the Military Academy at West Point. Upon his graduation tn 1855 he was assigned to frontier duty in the extreme Northwest, Fort Dalles, Oregon, being his first post. Here he stayed for a brief in- yl and wae transferred to Florida in time to participate in the Seminole war. At the outbreak of the civil strife Gen. the | ‘army.

Finding that there was no movement of the enemy toward the point occupied by his troops, he went over and entered the mine alone. After the explosion, when the cavity was filled as if with a swarm of bees by the colored soldiers, and there was no general of division or brigade or field officer in that mine but himself, and he had no business to risk himself by being there. He was a highly intelligent and extremely ca- pable ailitary officer and possessed a further Qualification—he was a first-class business man.

ELMA WIPPERN FLED FROM THE COURTROOM. The hearing of evidence in the divorce suit of Charles T. Wippern against Elma Wippern, in Judge Spencer’s court yes- terday afternoon was attended by a dra- matic incident. Mrs. Wippern, mother of the plaintiff, was on the witness stand. “If the court should award to your son the custody of his little baby, have you sufficient means to care for it properly?’’ asked Judge Vastine, the plaintiff's at- torney. Before Mrs. Wippern, the mother, could reply, Mrs. Wippern, the wife, leaped ex- citedly from her chair and, grabbing her baby from a friend who was sitting near, and clasping it closely in her arms, rushed wildly from the court room, exclaiming as she ran: **You shall never take my little baby from me. I will die before I will part with it.’’ She was hysterical and would have fallen to the floor if friends had not supported her. A physictan was called and adminis- tered a potion to her which ‘quieted her nerves. After she had recovered from the excitement, an effort was made to induce her to return to the court room, but she refused, saying she was afraid her baby would be taken from her arms. ®§he re- mained in the hallway of the Court House until all the evidence fn the case had been submitted. Judge Spencer then announced that he was ready to render his decision, but told Mr. Bags, the defendant’s attorney, that he would not do so until Mrs. Wip ern Should be brought Into the room. Mr. Bass retired and soon returned with Mrs, Wip- pern. She was crying. “I will say for the defendant's benefit that this court has no intention of infring- ing on her mother's rights: shall not take the child from her," said Judge Spen- cer, *‘Moreover, I am not going to divorce Mr. and Mrs. Wippern. I do not see any grounds for a divorcee in the caze of either. If each had been a iittie more gentle and for- pearing with the other, no trouble would have darkened their household. But they have made their own bed and must ile upon it. They may never live happily together, most probably they will not, unless they forget many things that have occurred here to-day.

I will diemiss the petition.” Wippern claimed that his wife told him, six weeks after their marriage, that she did not love him, but only married him be- cause could not tive happily with her rents.

The Case Has Peculiar Features and for a Time Involved Members of the Most Exclusive Fam- ilies of Charleston. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHARLESTON, S.

He carried an empty champagne bottle as @ souvenir. A minute or two later pistol shots were heard. Young Barden ran from his room, ahd found Pinckney badly shot and fast falling. Barnwell and the young ladies were #£00n beside him, and Pinck- ney was taken into the Barden home to die. The polite later took him to the hos- tel. against Miss Barden’s proteet. There e died without making a statement. The fumil’v doctor would not permit his being vistur ded. Jonn A. Logan. a merchant, from his window, saw Pinckney a moment after he weo shot. He swore he heard ladies shriek: “Willi you swear it? Will you swear it?’ © answer was inaudible. Another swore that he heard a lady say: "Remember h« suid a nigger shot him.” None other than members of the family Seem to have heard Pinckney make any Statement. On the witness stand Miss Elizabeth Bar- den Told of the evening's happenings with much detail. She swore Pinckney said: “A nigger (id it.” Another woman corroborated Miss Barden's statements and created a scene in the grand jury room by a furious Attack on a member of the jury. He re- marked in her hearing that everybody in the Rarden house should have been ar- rested the night of the murder. Quick as a flash came her cnswer: “See here, vir, if you dare to use any such bulldozing tactics on me there will be more lead put into you than poor Tom Pinckney got.’ The juryman subsided. The coat and hut of young Pinckney have mot been seen. and are the missing evidence most needed to unravel the mystery.

WARSHIP GOES TO a The Detroit Will See That Americans Are Not Imposed Upon. WASHINGTON, April 8.—The cruiser De- troit got away yesterday from La Guayara for Port Limon, Costa Rica, where she will receive instructions from the Navy De- partment as to her further course, the cable to Nicaraguan ports being interrupt- ed through the arbitrary action of Gen. Torres. Nothing has been heard at the State De- partment from its representatives in Nic- aragua since Consul Sorsby cabled from Port Limon three days ago an account of Torres’ action and appeaicd for two war- ships. The Detro't is due at Port Limon Tues- day morning, and unless there is a decided change for the better in the situat.on in Nicaragua, she will push on with all speed to Bluefields. Our Government is deter- mined not to tolerate the extortion prac- ticed by Torres upon American merchants there. A disquieting feature of the siuation the semi-indorsement by President Zelaya of Torres’ contention that he has a right to collect duties which have already been paid by the Americans to ae de facto Gov- ernment of Bluefields under Gen.

Reyes, was a | de facto Government in the full sense of ihe | merchants paid the duties under absolute compulsion Therefore, it is determined not to tolerate a re-collection of these duties on the part of the Nicaraguan Government. It i8 pointed out that if the Venezuelan Gov- ernmment’'s contention is correct, and the duties were illegally pa‘d to the insurgents, then President Zelaya’s Government is ful- ly responsible to the merchants for every cent collected by the insurgents.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 8&—Mrs. Alice Kelley, who shot her husband, Dr. Joseph D Kelley, and who refused to make known the name of her wealthy parents or their place of residence because eight years ago she married against their will is not to be défended as a “poor person” when her case is called for trial.

She said it mattered little whether her side of the story was pub- lished. Little by little it was learned that her parents liven in New Jersey. When tne story of the shooting was printed in New York her sister read it and immediately telegraphed to the Chief of Police for con- firmation of the identity of the parties, knowing only that her sister had married a Dr. Joseph D. Kelley. The answer to the telegram brought Mrs. Adams at once. She has retained a leading law firm and is doing what she thinks is best to a‘d her sister. FREE ANVICE TO MR. BARTHEL. A Sympthetic Friend in Waterloo Writes a Long Letter. Some sympathetic soul down at Water- loo, Ill., is moved to deep grief over the troubles of Attorney August Barthel and wife of Belleville, which troubles were told of in Tuesday’s Post-Dispatch. Yesterday Mr. Barthel received the fol- lowing letter: Nine years ago properous physic Waterloo, Ill., April 5, 1899. Mr. August Barthel— Dear Sir: I see in the St. Louls Post-Dispatch an account of the unpleasantness between you and your wife. . Please allow a man of over 55 years of age to make a few suggestions. Why not so? Did she fail in you to find a response to those deep desires of her nature—the implant of the Creator? Can you truly and with a justifying consci@nce cast the stone that wounds her for life? Are you sure you allowed her al! the privileges you took’ Are you sure she felt free to ceme to you in confidence, feeling that in opening her wants and desires to you she was best expressing her love and confidence in you? We men sometimes flatter ourselves that we are ‘‘yreat lords.’’ Ain't we noble, innocent pieces of perfection? While I doubt not that you was a good husband at heart. and believe you have been wronged. it may be that some little oversicht led your wife to believe your love to her had grown cold and the warmth of affection in another attracted her as the warm ray of the sun causes the buds to swell and spread their leaves to the gentle breezes of spring. Man !s not altogether perfect Temptations sometimes lead us we regret. Dear sir, I belleve your wife Is a noble woman at heart. Man's noblest act is to forgive. Ad- veraity sometimes teaches us wisdom and appre- clation. My word for it, if she is the noble creature you doubtless took her to be, and I am of the opinion you afe right, when you for- give her freely you have proven your love for her, and the response she will give you will he a reward ficher than you are able to contain. Wash the spot off the garment and eee if vou don't say. ‘“‘I really did pot know what a good garment this was.”’ You will take better care of it and think more of it than you ever did. That you may be at- tracted together and be regeperated in love is the sincere wish of a friend The letter was signed by an apparently bona fide name. Mr. Barthel refused to give the name. Mr. Barthel is sure his Waterloo adviser means well, but he has no idea of doing any more forgiving.

An Ex-Cigar Maker Made Soldiering in Porto Rico Pay. From the Atlanta Journal. In Porto Rico the American soldiers greatly enjoyed smoking the rolleros of tained from the natives. They were made of most delectable tasting leaves of tabac- co, which the natives had a knack of deft] rolling into sleek-looking, cigar-like gha 4 Say, fellows,” said a lank but wide- awake private one day, “I was out of a job when I enlisted and I was looking for a good thing. I didn’t exactly expect to strike it very rich at $13 a month, but just wait until the war’s over. These rolls are a find. Think of the smokers in the United States and think what a raft of these things a little money’ll buy. The to- bacco in ’em’s great—perfect substitute for the rich old Vuelta they used to raise in Cuba, and now only found in three-for-a- half and higher-priced cigars. I tell you this is the best find on the island. I'd rather own the crops of this tobacco than all the real estate in Ponce. I used to be in the “* business, boys, and I know how this kind of a smoke would sel! at home.” While some were judges and others not, Ht hele indorsed the lank man’s eulo- gies of the “rolls” and kept up an inces- Sant smoking while wondering how the $13 &@ month would amass a sufficient financial power to control those tobacco crops. But the lank private was a genius of ways and means—doubtless one of the kind to whom opportunity had been shy. He had formerly been a bookkeeper in the office of a Cincinnat! cigar factory. Leave from a camp was obtained and a day’s time enabled him to trace the source of this particular tobacco to certain planta- tiong in the vicinity of Ponce. The tobacco of which the “rolls’’ were made was grown entirely on new-broken loam ground, Com- paratively little was grown, and the only exporter on the island had taken no ac- count of it, as Spanish and American ship- ments called for the crops of the older and known plantations. But it was noted that only the leaf grown ] on new broken land was used in the rich flavored and sleek looking brown “rolls” SO popular among the natives. A few days more leave of absence enabled our lank | soldier friend to locate all the new broken farms of that season, to see the farmers and also to learn of all who were then clearing and preparing new land for plant- ing. Several. were interviewed and others written, with the result that contracts wer made which placed the absolute control o about all the new growth of tobacco in the tobacco growing districts of the island un- der control of the $13-a-month soldier cap- italist, wfth contracts for several years ahead. Al) this was accomplished at a to- tal cost of about half a month’s pay. After having everything pertaining to his big Porto Rican mercantile project drawn up in Systematic shape for presentation, coples of contracts and a voluffitnous roposition were forwarded his former employers, the Cigar factory of Cincinnati, U. 8. A. About a month after the Spanish protocol was signed the comrades of the lank pri- vate were surmising all sorts of reasons for his sudden departure from the camp and from the island, It was said a mysterious influence from Washington ordered his home leave, and that a big, fat New York draft had been cashed for him by the paymaster. « Advertisements in all the leading maga- zines and periodicals of the Unit States now appear nego eg “——"§ Rolis’’—made of an exquisite stock found in Porto Rico— A revelation to Americans—tich, mellow, delicious, etc.—Box of 100 for $1.

From the New York Evening Post. Under the _ fine-sounding names of “spheres of influence” and “leases,”’ China is seeing bit after bit of her territory tak- en away. from her. The Italian demand for a slice gt the Chinese coast is only the latest thing of the kind: it will not be the last, Other eagles will gather where this tempting carcass lies. The two plans so much talked of to prevent the dual artition of China seem practically to have een abandoned. One was the open door— the policy of making China's trade open to ali nations on equal terms. Russia and Germany will have none of this. Then there is Lord Charles Beresford’s scheme for maintaining the integrity of China. his is the grotesque plan of setting the Chinese Government on its feet by means of taking away from it the chief attributes of overnment. Lord Charles; that Is, would. have foreigners go in and take charge of the Chinese army and navy, levy duty on imports and collect internal taxes, and exercise the police power. A curious sort of spcependence and tIntegrity that would be.’ There is no likelihood that it will ever be seriously attempted. The drift geems rather towards an extension of the method of spollation by “lease.”” Englan and Russia and Germany and Italy wil keep the Chinese territory they have al- ready seized, and maintain the balance of vower by simultaneously seilzin more. hat will be eminently fair, and no one can reasonably complain, unless it possibly be the Chinese.

TURNER. | ELECTION OF NEW OFFICERS. Camp St. Louis of Southern Veterans Had a Rousing Meeting at the Lindell Hotel Last Night. There was good cheer and some cheering and a communion of souls last night at the Southern Hotel when Camp St. Louis, No. 731, United Confederat® Veterans, met to transact business, but no feature of the evening aroused more enthusiasm than a tribute paid by Commander Robert McCul- loch to Gen. John W. Turner, an ex-Fed- eral officer who died yesterday morning. The ex-Confederates are a proud set and are quick to sta that they thhave ‘“‘noth- ing to apologize for,’’ But when the opportu- nity comes for them to pay tribute to the memory of a brave man who fought on the other side in that little family feud of the ‘60s they are just as prompt to do the graceful and generous thing. There were men in the gathering at the Southern last night who would have es- teemed it a noble deed to have slain Gen. Turner in combat 3% years ago, yet, they raised their voices in applause when Capt. McCulloch did honor to the memory of the man they once hated but always respected, and many of them in late years grew to love. The following officers of the camp were scted: oreatee. McCulloch, Captain and Commander; A. C. Stewart, First Lieutenant Commander; : Kelly, Second Lieutenant Commander; W. C. bins, Third Lieutenant Commander; L. B. liant.

It was decided that there should be a representative delegation in attendance at the reunion of Confederate Veterans at Charieston on May ll.

I have often asked myself why it is that the interviewer will sometimes get so much more wisdom out of a man and so many more fresh and entertaining statements— in short, so much better literature—than the man can get out of himself, says John Bur- roughs in the Atlantic. Is it because one’s best and ripest thoughts rise to the sur- face, like the cream on the milk, and does the interviewer simply skim them off? (Maybe that in writing we often dip too deep, make too great an effort. Interviews are nearly always interesting—much more so than a formal, studied statement by’ the interviewer himself. Many a piece of sound, ‘excellent Mtera- ture has been got out of a man who had no skill with the pen at all. His spoken word is vital and real; rut a n in his hand and the fire is quenched at once. Hence, the charm of letters, of diaries, of the simple narratives and recitals of pio- neers, farmers, workers or persons who have no conscious literary equ‘pment. As Sainte-Beuye discovered, — peasant has style,’’ because he has reality. Who would not rather read a bit of real experience of a soldier in battle such as a clever interviewer could draw out of him than to read his general’s studied account of the same engagement? ‘“‘To elaborate is of no avail,” says our poet. ‘“‘Learned and unlearned feel that it is so.’" Only the great art'st can rival or surpass the sense of reality we often find in common speech.

Every dollar tn the treasury her own. ins will be truly said of Iowa after the twen- tieth of this month. The State will take/its proud position among the few in the sister- hood of States that have been able | to finance its many and important public in- stitutions without a continual sale of its negotiable paper and without an increase | in its tax levy. The officials are justly proud of the rec- ord, for figures that do not lie tell them that after, Nov. 1, 189, there will never more be need of look.ng beyond the plethoric vaults of the Treasury for the means of carrying on the State Government. ‘Iowa is out of debt” is a refrain heard on all sides at the State Capitol to-day, and to this another refra.n is.added: “And Iowa means to keep out of debt.”’ There is anether story than that told by the dry figures—a story of rigid econmy in high places, a story that might be cited with profit by future writers on political economy. The figures simply tell that so many dollars worth of warrants are out- standing, that so many dollars have been paid in the State Treasury, and that still other dollars are due to be paid in by & certain date. That other story is one that the officials are too modest to tell. If they were not they would say that the closet retrenchment, the careful study of finan- ces, resources and expenditures has been necessary to restore Iowa to the unfet- tered financial position she enjoyed four years ago, when for many years she had been able to meet the end of the fiscal year without a deficit. The debt of Iowa has not been so great when compared with the millions that tug at the purse strings of other States. At present she has but $413,393.38 in outstanding warrants drawing on an average of 4 per cent interest and running fess than a year, This is not much, but it is greater than a State proud of her financial record cared to shoulder long. The debt was made neces- sary by decrease in assessed valuations, by fire, by increase in cost of maintaining institutions of which her citizens were just- ly proud. Compared with the $12,000,000 debt of the Bay State of the $9,000,000 of New York it is not to be considered, but debts increase like flies before a summer shower, and Iowa has taken the ounce of preven- tion. The money has been pouring into the treasury to square accounts, and if future Legislatures guard her interests she will enjoy for all time moneyed independence. The debt has been paid by the exercise of economy. The last Legislature made but scant appropriations, cutting down the sup- port funds of various institutions and pro- viding for very few buildings. The admin- istration of the State institutions by the State Board of Control has contributed to the payment of the State debt by reducing the cost of conducting these institutions. The State tax levy is now 2.8 mills, the high- est it has ever been in the history of.the State. One-tenth of a mill of this amount is for the purpose of erecting buildings at the State University. Prior to about four years ago the State had had no debt for many years and the State tax levy was only 2 to 2.5 mills. But the extraordinary ex- penditures have required more money, and as the valuation was reduced instead of being increased, it made larger levies neces- sary for all purposes. There was more excitement and criticism over the existence of this comparatively small debt in lowa than is made in other States over debts where the interest charge alone is much more than the entire Iowa debt. The prospect is that under the opera- tion of the new revenue law, requiring all property to be listed at its full cash value and taxed on 25 per cent of such valuation, the real estate valuation will be still further reduced and larger levies wiil be required. The debts of other States are generally very much larger than that of Iowa, some of them many times as much, The most recent report from State of- ficers show: Indiana—The present debt is $5,200.615, | of which $4,125,000 draws 3 per cent interest and is payable after June, 1899. The State has paid $3,290,000 during the past five years and has an income of $400,000 a year for interest and debt payments. Missouri—The total State debt is $8,035.839. The bonded debt has been decreased $414.000 in 1804, $527.000 in 1895. $489,000 in 1896, $500,000 in 1897, $858,000 In 1898, and it is the of the State to pay off $3,642,000 o the bonds. The rest of the debt is permanent, paying the endowment of the public schools and State universities. | Nebraska—Outstanding warrants against the general fund, $1.600,000, cent interest, and bonded The latter will all be paid during the n rear. ¥ : Kansas—The total State debt amounts {to past five years. It is the State to pay all outstanding bonds at turity, which will ‘be finished during the next ten years. Tllincis—Has no outstanding og as except $18,500 consisting of “‘new internal improvement stock,” “new internal im- provements interest stock,’ one “old inter- nal improvement bond” and 13 “canal bonds.” all of which were called for pay- ment several years ago by the Governor's proclamation. and which have ceased to draw interest but have not been. surren- dered for payment. ae The Lessons of Siberia. Prince Kropotkio in the February Atlantic. The years that I spent in Siberia taught me many lessons which I could hardly have learned else- where, says I’rince Kropotkin in the February At- lantic. I began to understand not only men and human character. but also the loner springs of the life of human society. The constructive work | of ite full import. in which the communities of Dukhobortsy migrated to the Amur region, to see the immense advantages which they got from their semi-communiatic brotb- erly organization, and to realize what a wonderful success their colonization was, amidst all the fall- ures of state colonization, was learning something which cannot be learned from books. Again, to live with natives, to see at work all the complex forms of social organization which they hare elab- orated far away from the inflnehce of any civiliza- tion, Was, as it were, to store up floods of light which flluminated my subsequent reading. The part which the unknown masses play in the ac- complishment of all, important nistorical events, and «ven in war, became evident to me from dirpet observation, and I came to hold ideas aimélar' to those which Toistol expresses in his monumeatal work. “‘War and Peare.” Having been brought up in a serf-owner's familly. I entered active life, Ike all young men of inv time, with a great deal of confidence in the nedes- sity of commanding. ordertng, scolding, punishing. and the like. Hut when, at an early stage, I hed to manage serious enterpriees and to deal with men, and when each mistake would lead at once to heavy consequences, I began to appreciate the difference between acting on the principle,of com- mand and discipline and acting on the principle of common understanding. The former works a4- mirably in a military parade, but it is worth noth- ing where real Jife is concerned, and the aim ¢an be achieved only thiongh the severe effort of many converging willis. Although I did pot then formu.- late my observations in termes borrowed from rty struggles, I may say now that I lost in Siberia whatever faith in state discipline L had cherished before. ‘ All kinds of household goods find rea Duyers when advertised in P.-D.

FROM THE TURE THE TENNESSEE OAKS WILL RUN ON MONDAY. IT iS FOR 3-YEAR-OLD FILLIES. Matanza, May Hempstead, Souchon and Other Fast Ones Will Try for This Prize. The Tennessee Oaks will be the stake feature of Monday's card at the Memphis track The Oaks is at a mile and four of the best 3-year-old fillies in the West are eligible to go for the $2500 the race will be worth to the winner. Matanza’s name, just prior to the open- ing of the Memphis meeting of 1898, was a synonym for speed, and her victories in the Pepper and Grand Union stakes at Sara- toga, in which she met and defeated Man- vel, Martimas, Rhinelander, Kentucky Colonel and other 2-year-old speed me- chanica, showed that no mistake had been made in her quality of fleetness.

Tebeau points with pride to the fact that his men are in entire har- mony and that there is not a semblance of a clique. There is a spirit of loyalty to Tebeau, and incidentally to Messrs. Robi- son and Becker, that if emulated by the other clubs in the League would prove beneficial to all concerned and it is on this sympathy and loyalty that Tebeau counts as much as anything else to bring to St. Louis, at the end of the season, the cham- pionship penant of 1899. WITH THE BOXERS. Lewis and Murray and Noel and Rauch to Meet Here This Week. This will be a very busy week for the local boxers. At the Business Men's Gymnasium what promises to be the best local mill of the year will take place on Thursday night. It is the 16-round go between Jimmy Mur- ray of Cincinnati and Jack Lewis of Chi- cago. They are considered among the best nien in America in the 135-pound clase. Both have trained faithfully for their battle here and it promises to be the most scientific battle ever seen in St. Louis. Tom Summerfield will accompany Lewis from Chicago and Morris Rauch, the crack bantam, will come with him. Rauch, on Thursday night, will have hie third battle with Frankie Noel and “it almost | promises to be a corker. Rauch was originally matched to meet Hammerslee here Thursday night, but the latter has a sore mouth, and he gives that as his excure., At the West End Club Homer Selby and Eddie Lally will have their mill on Wednes- day night. Manager Houghton has ar- ranged a great programme for this occa- sion and looks for a big attendance. Big Jim Jeffries was seen here this week and the local boxing crowd were given a good opportunity to size up the man who is matched to meet Fitzsimmons in May. It must be admitted that impressions gained of the Californian here were not favorable and the general consensus of Opinion was that he was too slow and cumbersome to stand any chance against Fitz. But per- was here Jeffries was not (trying his bert. There is a letter at this office for Homer Selby. Jack Winsbey Is anxious to get on a match with Jack Morris.

The heavy snow storm which ushered in last week interfered greatly with the work of the laborers employed at putting the fleld in shape, but they are hard at it and the promise to have the field in fairly gooa Shape on the opening day. | During the week Stanley Robison, prest- dent of the new Clevelana Club, met Billy Joyce and offered him a position as man- ager and captain of his team. The two were not able to come to terms.on the salary question, and that is all that is keeping them apart. Jack Flaherty, the St. Louls boy who will have charge of the Ottumwa Club in the Western Associat‘on this year, will leave for that city this week. Jack has a good team selected for the season’s campaign and should finish well up in the race. Jack is a hustler and a fighter and he knows the ame like a book. His long experience in ast company and his thorough knowledge of the game will help the youngsters that will play under him greatly. The team that Jack has selected to do battle for Ot- tumwa follows: Pitchers, Brown, ‘‘Hoppy” Gallagher and Searles; catcher, Tom Stan- ton; first base, Flaherty; second base, Kehan; shortstop, O’Connor: third base, Wticox; center field, Crozier: left field, Me- Quaid; right field, Wilson; substitute, Wil- son. Gallagher, Stanton, Wilcox and O’Con- nor are St. Louis boys and their many friends hope to see them land the pennant in the Western Association. O’Connor is a brother of Jack O’Connor, the crack catcher of the new St. Louis Clhi®. Here’s the calm, chilly treatment they give the national game down in Cleveland these warm days: ‘“‘Lave Cross, the Clark avenue pigeon fancier, who led all the third basemen of the National League in flelding last season, is ‘in charge’ of eight or nine young men over at Terre Haute, Ind. The young men call themselves the ‘Cleveland Baseball Club,’ and they hope to play 154 games of a between April 15 and Oct. 15 of this yéar. They even hope to begin the championship season of 1899 with a game against Patsy Tebeau’s St. Louis team, in the Mound City, one week from next Saturday afternoon.” Henry Chadwick figures that since the in- ception of the present 12-club League—in seven years—the net profits of the League clubs have ‘been $150,000, and that in the same time $1,500,000 has been paid out in salaries. Mr. Chadwick places the salary list too low, and the profiis also. Still, the proportion is about right. Using this as a basis for his figures, Mr. Chadwick says less money was made in baseball before the rotherhood than since. He offers as proof of reduced profits the high figures paid players from 1881 to 1889, inclusive. The table. with salaries paid 16 leading players in 1881, 188 and 1889, and the total salary received by them for the nine years fol- lows: 1889. Total. M. J.

The Rumor Comes All the Way From Los Angeles, the Home of the Californian. f A bulletin was received by Associated Press last night from Los Angeles, Cal. It stated that a close friend of Jeffries had received a dispatch that the Jeffries- Fitzsimmons fight had been declared off. - No attention would have been paid to the bulletin but for these two facts: First, Jeffries’ home is at Los Angeles, and, second, a few days ago Billy Brady, Jeffries’ manager, tn a letter to t Post- Dispatch, said that Jeffries would lick Fits “if they ever entered the ring.’ As soon as the bulletin was received therefore, it was taken to Jeffries and Kid Egan, who were at the Standard Theater. After scanning the bulletin, Jeffries said: “If the match is declared off I know nothing about it.” Egan, who is in charge of Jeffries’ tour, said: ‘“There is nothing tov¥t. If the match had been dtclared off I ould have heard it before some man out in California.’’ THE DUPONT PARK SHOOT. B. Waters, the Eastern Expert, Says It Will Be the B:st of the Season. “Your programme is one of the best of the season and cannot be improved in any way,” said B. Waters, the well-known Iwastern shooting expert, in a letter to Sec- retary H. B. Collins of the St. Louis Shoot- ing Association, regarding the coming big shooting tournament which will be held at Dupont Park, St. Louis, May 15 to May 20. “it {8 an amateur programme in_ facts as well as name,” continues Mr. Waters. “In its details throughout the target events allow the 75 per cent and the 80 per cent men an excellent chance for their money. The programme should succeed in winning the attention of every prominent shooter in the country of both the amateur and professional type alike.’ This statement, coming as it does from a man like Mr. Waters, who is familiar with every detail, speaks very highly of the initial effort of the St. Leuls Shooting As- sociation to provide a programme that will satisfy the wishes of all the prominent sportsmen in the land. Another feature of the programme that meets with the approval of the sportsmen, especially the amateur, is that a new sys- tem of division of moneys will be used. The purses at the tournament will be dl- vided according to either the Equitable or Rose systems. : Both of these systems appeal to the am- ateur very strongly, as it gives him an op- portunity to match his skill with the best shooters in the country and still have an excellent chance of winning his share of the money. The amateur always likes to contest with the cracks, but under the old and inequit- able percentage system this pleasure was always a very costly one, as the profes- sionals came mighty near carrying off all of the money. Manager J.A.Corray has put a big gang °° men to work erecting a new clubhouse at Dupont Park. Accommodations will be pro- vided for in the new clubhouse for 200 sportsmen, and it is expected by the man- agement that fully that number of shooters will be on hand inaugural day. The sec- ond floor of the clubhouse qill be set aside for spectators, and according to the plans at least 600 persons can be accommodated, Livebird traps will be set on opposite sides of the clubhouse. Tne pigeons will be trapped underneath the ground and re- trieved into a pit close to the traps. There will be two sets of target traps located be- tween the livebird traps. “The May shoot will be the biggest even of .ts kind ever held west of New York,” sald Manager Corray Saturday. ‘Three thousand dollars in cash prizes will be dis- tributed ameng the sportsmen. This is more money than has ever been hung up at a Western shoot. Besides this we wiil have more valuable trophies and championship cups than was ever offered at a State ehoot in the history of the gun. “The State team shoot will, I think, prove one of the most interesting events of the tournament. Every city of any prominence in the State will in all proba- bility be represented by her crack ehots in this event. “A great deal of rivalry St. Louis and Kaneras ‘ity, among the shooting enthusiasts, and, of course, the interest in the team shoot will be centered on the fight for honors between these cit- ies. “Two years ago, when the last Missouri State Game and Fish Protective Associa- tion tournament was held at Kansas City, the crack Kansas City team, which in- cluded thoee experts, J. A. R. Elliott and Christ Gottlieb, was defeated by the St. Louis team, which was composed of Dr. J. W. Smith, Dr. Max C. Starkloff, NPdward Prendergast and Peter M. Kling. “According to « letter 1 received yester- day, Champion Jim Elilott will again head a delegation from Kansas City this year. This city will be represented by the same four that earried off the honors two yeans ago. Joplin, Paris, Jefferson City, Spring- tield, Hannibal, Louisiana, Moberly, St. Joe, Palmyra and Hermann also promise to send representative teams to this city in May.” Se THE L. A. W. MEMBERSHIP. exists between A Sensation Created by Its Wonderful Falling Off, NEW YORK, April 8—Something of a sensation was created in the League of American Wheelmen Circles In this city when it became known that in the last week the League had lost more than %0) members. For many months the orranit.4- tion has been losing members at the rcie of about 2000 a month, but the figures re- ceived at L. A. W. headquarters Tuesaday were startling. They showed that in one week the mem- nérehin drop was 9139, of which New York contributed 1554, Pennsylvania 1686 and Massachusetts 1879. The total League membership to date ts 65.154—a loss of nearly 40,000 in a lit'ie more than a year. The membership .n the three principal divisions are: Pennsylvania, 15,- 520; New York, 15,314; Massacousetts, 10,- 665 In explanation of the big ‘cfection of members, an L. A. W. officer sa'd yeuter- cay that 11,000 memberships extired on April 1. Many of these. he suki, would renew before the end of the month, by which time he thought the figures would again become normal. Others. however, doubted whether the League will ever re- sain the Cgures of iast week RACING AROUND CHICAGO. According to Secretary Nathanson the Prospects for It Are Very Poor. Epecta! the Poat-Dispatecb. CHICAGO, April 8.—Martin Nathanson, Secretary of the Harlem Jockey Club, Is being flooded with queries from New Or- leans, regarding the local racing situation, |The latest of these was received from Tony ;Licalzi. The horseman wired that he had lheard dark rumors regarding local racing, ‘and he wanted advice. Nathanson answered that if he wanted to race his horses in ‘the near future Licalzi had better ship to 'some other point in the ig | eircuit. “| don't see why people wili persist that 'we will promote racing meetings here this ‘summer,’ said Nathanson when asked what there was in a story to the effect that the Harlem plant was undergoing a thorough overhauling. “The gates of the 'Harlem race track are nalled, and to the best of my knowledge no one but a wateh- man is inside of them. We have no lease on Harlem. We have given the Roby race track up and this leaves only the Sheffield with about 100 stalls, open for racing. Of course these are not enough to stable horses for a meet, and ft is too expensive to build stalis for a meeting of fifteen days.

New York Tribune. The use of tanks along the track of a railroad to enable a locomotive to take wa- ter without stopping was resorted to, in the first place, in order to shorten the time of running, and for the passenger traffic only. The gain is so slight, however, that some lines are now abandoning the system. Another advantage is gained, though, by the avoidance of unnecessary stops. It costs money to bring a train to a atandstill and then to get it under full headway once more. The application of brakes’ wears both the car wheels and the brakes. After | a certain amount of use, of course, a re- newal is necessary, and this costs | some- thing. Moreover, as every one knows, it requ.res much less power to keep a train in | motion than to start it. Power means fuel, and fuel means shekels. An amusing variety of guesses have been | made of the exact cost of stopping trains. A sensation was created a few years ago by the statement by an expert that a stop the standard class of securities, as their market value may be affected by the money and trade conditions of the year. Through- out Friday's industrial panic these stocks were comparatively but little affected. The net declines shown in their cases were trifling in view of the general speculative demoralization. The market for bonds, which is more or less out of the speculative current, was almost wholly unaffected. All this goes to show the stable character of the investment market. Confidence in the future of American rall- way investments is not likely to be shaken by yesterday’s speculative collapse. Fur- thermore, there is na abatement in confi- dence that ultimately and before long the grade of stocks of the class of the grang- ers, New York Central and the preference shares of the reorganized roads will pass into the safe investment lists. This rating is acvorded to them because of a demon- stret d earning power, the absence of which naturally then reverts to the position of | factor with the seeding reported in Min nesota and Nebraska.

Miles? Should proceedings be in- stituted against Eagan he will be obliged to establish for his own protection to what extent his acts were approved by the Sec- retary of War. The Court of Inquiry has decided to-day to admit as evidence the official reports of 131 army officers concerning the beef sup- lied to the army during the war with Boain. as requested by Gen. Miles. The de- cision was reached at an executive session of the court and after the renewal by Maj. Lee, on behalf of Gen. Miles, of the re- quest for action upon the application. The reports of two score officers—Majors, Captains and Lieutenants—are of one tenor that the meat was unwholesome an caused much sickness. The report of Brigadier-General Viele pronounces the canned beef “a miserable apology for food.” WUieutenant-Colonel Minor of the Sixth Infantry says: “Hungry men walked away from the ration.” The Court of Inquiry has eent for Powell, the inventor of the process of preserving, upon which Gen. Miles built his allegation that “embalmed beef" was served to the army. It is stated by a member of the court that the hearings will in all probability conclude next week. Maj. Lee, acting for Gen. Miles, furnished the names oF nine witnesses who, he eaid, would give evi- dence believed to be material to the em- balimed beef allegation. These witnesses have been summoned, but none of them has yet appeared. One feature of the report of the court can be foreshadowed. It will dwell on the results to be expected from the meat diet in the tropics. The court will point out that the stomach and bowel troubles which followed the eating of meat In Cuba and Porto Rico were not necessarily evidence of bad\meat, but easily accounted for by improper dieting in that climate. The all- mente which many witnesses ascribed to something wrong with the meat will be ex- plained by the court’s finding that too much meat, not bad meat, was furnished. GILLHAM AT THE HEAD.

MAT HANCOCK HANGED ——S HE WAS EXECUTED FOR THE MURDER OF GEORGE HORTON. SMILED ON THE GALLOWS. Large Crowd Laughed and Jeered, but the Negro Appeared Pleased With His Big Audience. Matthew Hancock was hanged at 6 o'clock yesterday morning for the murder of George Horton. The man went to his death with splendid nerve. He had passed the previous night uneasily, and several times had shown signs of breaking down. But with the dawn his rare presence of mind returned to him. After that he was apparently happy and the least concerned of any in the prison about his execution, It was 5:45 o'clock when the death war- rant was read by Sheriff John H, Pohlman, and immediately the march to the scaffold began. A crowd of 500 men, representing every condition of society, had assembled in the jail yard, and they laughed, bantered ana joked as Hancock and the guards made their exit from the jail, as though they had gathered to witness a spectacle of a pieasing character, It was the plan of Sheriff Pohiman to allow only those who had tickets to enter the yard and the issué of tickets was limited. But, neveriheless, everybody with a deputy-sheriff or a police- man was admitted on his = application whether he had a ticket or not. Hancock was pleased that so large a crowd had assembled to see him die, and, as he stopped at the jail entrance mo- mentarily .o survey the throng, he smiled serenely. Then he mounted tMe scaffold with quick, eiastic steps. He was accompanied by his spiritual ad- viser, Rev. Mr. Preston, who requested Hancock to Kneel on the scaffold during a short prayer. The heads of the 500 specte- toms were bared during this simple but im- pressive scene. At the conclusion of the prayer, Hancock stepped upon the trapdoor. For a minute he gazed upon the crowd, waving a good- ere — there to an acquaintance. e whispered t . , f , was ready. p d to @ deputy that he Hurriedly the black cap was adjusted about his head and the rope was placed around his neck. The new gallows was used for the first time. Its trap is oper- ated by a lever which stands against the post at the head of the stairs leading to the platform. It is a Simple arrangement and a system of signals that all is ready is not needed, Just as the rope touched Han- cock’s neck, the drop was made. The fall did not break his neck. The rope had not been properly adjusted. The knot had been placed under the chin Stead of under the ear. Asa result, Han- cock suffered unspeakably. He choked 6lowly to death. His muscles contracted under his torture and twice the pinions ubout his lega were snapped by his strug- gies to free himself. It was 17 minutes be- fore Hancock was pronounced dead. After the drop, the Deputy Sheriff in charge of the execution had great difficulty in holding the crowd back from the sway- ing body. They were curious to see every twitch of the dying man’s muscles and to hear every groan that escaped him. Hancock's body was taken to the Morgue where rel ves claimed it and ordered it prepared f burial, Phe crime for which Hancock was exe- cuted was the murder of George Horton. a ticket broker, in front of Union Station, Sunday afternoon, July 17, 1897. Horton had & Small office on Market street near Nineteenth street. He had some difficulty with his wife, who, it is said, employed Hancock to watch her husband. Hancock entered ihe ticket office on the day of the murder while drunk, and told Hor- ton he was watching him. Horton ordered him from the office. This angered the negro and going to a second-hand store he s0ld his overcoat and purchased a revol- ver with the money. He returned to the ticket office and renewed his quarrel with Horton, who again ordered him from the office. Hancock did not obey instantly and Horton moved toward him. The negro went to the door of the office, where he turned and fired at Horton at close range. Che bullet entered Horton's left breast and caused instant death, The negro was found guilty of the crime of murder at his taal and the decision wae affirmed by the su- preme Court. FREE.

Grand National Officers Met at the Southern and Completed Arrange- ments for the St. Louis Meet. He who has no miisic in his blackened soul had better stay away from St. Louls next June. There are going to be bands beyond counting in town, and they are going to play. all the light and heavy melodies that were ever written on five- barred paper. The Elks are responsible for the deluge of harmony which is goimg to o'er sweep St. Louis within a few short weeks. They ' and | have or'ginated a band contest and there'll be enough wind-jamming to wreck George Dewey's Asiatic fleet. The Executive Committee Lodge of Elks is in St. Louis. Those here | to-day are John Galvin, Grand Exalted Ruler; George A. Reynolds, Grand Secre- tary, and R. M. Allen, of Birmingham, Ala.; John H. Fort, Camden, N. J., and John D. O'Shea, of Lynn, Mass., compos- ing the Board of Grand Trustees. They met at the Southern Hotel and dis- | which are Iikely to debate before the last night cussed all questions come up for a spirited firgssl meeting. They ratified the announcement that the| Southern Hotel would. be E:ks’ headquart- | ers during the reunion week, and that | Brother Pat Short’s Olympic Theater was | to ‘be the meeting place for the Grand | Lodge. Last night the committeemen | dined together informally, retmforced by | Burt W. Lyon, who “me Back from Logansport yesterday afternoon, whither he had been to tell. the Hoosier Elks what a “fineness” of a browsing ground St. Louls was going to supply. From the merry conversation at the! dinner table it might have been seen at, once that the campaign for the next meet- | ing place of the Grand Lodge is on’ and! red hot at that. Judge Fort of Camden, N. J.. declared himself an electioneer for Jersey. He declared Ailantic City had to} be the next convention -place of the horned brothers, even it Jersey had to heck the Iron Pier to build a_specfal hall where every Elk tould have his own chafing dish to cook his own catch ffom the pretty. blue Atlantic. The Judge, though, is not going to have. everything his own. way, for Colorado Springs is in the fight to stay to a finish.

Added to this rumor is a suggestion that John McNulty, ‘D. “Spud’’ Gilson are coming Bill Fisher and Ah, Ky., to try to capture over from Paduca the Grand Lodge meeting. Gilson the hot tittle lodge down in ‘“Paduky,”’ and they are so earnest they really think they have a chance to get the big re- union for the Kentucky city on the Ohio. Mr. O'Shea, from Lynn, Mass., declares the shoe factories in his town are going to shut down during lodge week so everybody can come to St. Louis. There is nothing doing in Lynn except shoe making and if the factories don’t shut down the Lynn Elks can’t come out here and see the real town which has pat up $13,000 “just to biow in’ on “One Purple. Week.”’ Birmingham, Ala., according to Judge B. M. Allen, is also going to let the world at large know that Birmingham possesses an Elks lodge. The judge says Birming- ham would feel disgraced if she sent less than 18 Elks to St. Louis. The Music Committee, composed of Brothers Maurice Spyer, conductor of the Imperial Theater orchestra; William Mad- dern, of the Century, and Otto Vogel, of the Columibin Theater orchestra, will re- port to the Executive Committee to-morrow on the music contest. More than 15 bands of from 10 to 68 members will contest for the first prize of $1,000. All bands. to par- tictpate must have accompanied to SBt. Louis a lodge of Elks and have taken part in the grand parade. The contest will take place at Lemp’s Park on the evea- ings of June 21, 22, 23 and DB.

A line of steamers was run for a time between Mobile, Ala.. and the United States of Co- lombia, but the return trips were not sup- ported and the ships subjeoted to such strict quarantine regulations that the ven- Ture wae abundoncd. The shipments to Central American countries go by way of New Orleans, and the excessive rates are aue to the railroads of those countries, which charge exorbitant prices for carry- i ireight to the interior towns. St. Lovis millers practically have a ly of the flour trade in Central and ath America, and the West Indies. In however, they face the competition the millers in the world. The milling has assumed vast proportions in ee. Hungary: and Spain, and much po di Maie in England from American "7 t All the fleur exported is put into sacks In o to economize space.

The pound sterling is equal to $4.80 of our money, yet the present rate of exchange ‘s $4.84, a premium of 4c on the pound sterling, or four-fifths of 1 per cent. The insurance varies according to the dis- tance and time it takes to make shipments, To Liverpool the rate is % to \ of 1 per cent, and to Finland, South America and Africa it runs’up to 2 per cent of the de- livered value of the flour. An additional \% of 1 per cent is charged over the Liver- poo] rate to Baltic and other continental ports that necessitate trans-shipping. An additional 1-10th of 1 per cent is also made on shipments beyond or north of Lon¢é@ . The “staff of life’ of the people of St. Louis is the flour made from wheat, rye. buckwheat, corn and other ce- reals. If the one item of flour was struck off the I'st of articles used for human sus- tenance there would soon be such a scarcity of food that the worst famines in the his- tory of the world would shrink into insig- nificance in comparison. The average anrual consumption of flour by each flour-eater in the world is one bar- rel of 196 pounds, but there is more than that amount used in St. Louis, as we are great eaters of flour, and therefore take more than the average. Of wheat flour each person in the c'ty consumes about three-quarters of a pound a day and of rye flour, buckwheat flour and the products of corn, oats, etc., one-quarter of a pound, making the average daily con- sumption of breadstuffs one pound, This goes to show that flour is by far the most valuable of all food pragucts. There are few meals served in the course of c- year in the many households of the city in which the table is not graced with a goodly sepply of bread, cakes, biscuits or food prepared from flour in one way or an- other. It is estimated that there are over 500,- 000,000 people in the world whose food con- sists chiefly of the four made from whea: and .the number is being increased rapidly. The increase was the largest 'n European countries and the least in Asia, particularly China, which so long has withstood all mod. ern advancements. Parts of Africa _ the Southern and Latin-American couniries are taking our flour products more freely than ever before. St. Louis is one 2 of the greatest milling ——— a ——— ee ee SS eee centers in the world and is the largest flour manufacturing point in the United States of winter wheat. The partial failure of the winter wheat crops in the past three years in the territory where the millers) get most of their wheat. has reduced the production of flour somewhat and was the cause of some loss of trade. Notwithstanding these advers®-conditions the St. Louis millérs have held their own against all competition and with prospects favorable for a good winter crop this year they expect to do ‘the largest business in the history of the milling industry of the city. There are 12 mills operated in: St. Louis and East St. Louis, which turn out 10,275 barrels of flour and consume over 45,000 bushels of wheat a day. In 1898 these mills made 1,054,875 bakrels of flour. yet this was the smallest output in 30 years, as the millers could not get the wheat to grind and were compelled to shut down their Plants a part of the year. The relatively higher cost af wheat here than in more ‘favored milling sections had a tendency to restrict business; This does not signify a permanent reduction in the output or a loss of trade, but was simply the result of poor crops of wheat. To offset this: the millers have invaded territory that, strictly speaking, does not belong to this market. There are no less than 15 flour mis operated at country points which are owned or the product controlled in St. Louis. The largest of these is the Rex. mill at Kansas City, with a daily capacity of 5000 barrels, owned and operated by Kehblor Bros, of this city. The FE. O. Stanard Milling Co, has a mill at Alton, Ill, and another at Dallas, Tex. The other mills controlled by St. Louis parties are situated at points in Missouri and [Iili- nois—generally within a radius of 50 miles. The daily capacity of these mills is 11,975 barrels and the output last year was 1,867,- 80> barrels, all of which was sold from the offices of these mills in St. Louis. Several additions will be made to this list by the time the new wheat crop becomes available this year. The Marcus Bern- heimer Milling & Manufacturing Co. last week let the contract for a mill at Clinton, Mo., capacity 700 barrels daily, to be com- pleted by July 1. The mill of the St. Louis Milling Co., which was destroyed by fire last year, has been rebuilt and enlarged and will turn out 1000 barrels daily. Taking the 1,054,875 barrels manufactured in St. Louis, the 1,867,805 barreis made by the country mills and the receipts of 1,308, - 088 barrels, the total amount of flour hand- cee ee — ga The Average Annual Consumption of Flour by Each Inhabitant of St. Louis Is Shown in This Illustration.

This can not be equaled by any other manufacturing business 14 the city. The city trade last vear took 906,463 bar- rels of wheat flour. While there is no rec- ords kept of the quantity of othé kinds of flour sold to local consumers, it {s certain that there is a considerable amount of rye’ flour used. as the Germans are partial to that kind of four. Buckwheat flour and the, products.of corn and other coarse grains | also come in for some consideration. They | bring the annual consumption of flour up’ to 1,000,000 barrels or more. Next to the city trade the best patrons of the St. Louls millers were in the South-| ern States, and the shipments last year In that direction amounted to 732,482 barrels. ' The shipments to points in the east were 223,782 barrels, to the west, 15,996 barrels and to the north 7,974 barrels. These fig- ures do not represent nearly all the busi- ness, as thousands of barrels are sold here that are billed direct from the country mills and do not figure in the statistics. The “bookings” for direct export from this city in 1898 were 603,998 barrels and the flour was distributed to all parts of the world. The heaviest shipments were made to United Kingdom ports, the flour made from soft, red winter wheat. being favored by the consumers in parts of England, Ireland and Scotland to the exclusion of all other brands. Before the excessive duty, was placed on flour by the Spaniards in Cuba, that trade was almost controlled by the millers of St. Louis, and it is expected that the trade In Cuba and Porto Rico will again come this way under the new regime. The establishment of a system of steamship lines from the gulf ports gives the St. Louls millers a decided ad- vantage of distance and freight rates. The European continent takes considerable of our flour, as 40 also Central and South American countries, and shipments are regularly made to Southern Africa. The following were the foreign shipments of flour from St. Louis for the months of January and February of this year: Destination. Bb!is| Destination.

Knock of a plece of this clear ice and whittle it into shape of a double convex lens, You should have no trouble In doing this, for ice can be eut very easily with a pocket knife. Perhaps it may well to inform the uninitiated that a double convex lens is one which bulges on both sides. in the shape of-two saucers with the edges placed together. It gathers up the rays of sun- light and Concentrates them against the Spot, Which is called the focus point. Ordinarily a ileus is made of glass, but foe will pertorm the eame feat if correctly shaped. First cut your ice into a flat piece, @ little thicker than, and as round as a Sliver dollar. It might be well, also to leave ® long sliver on one side of the circular piece to serve for a handle. When you have cut your flat circular piece. scrape down the edges, gradually working toward the center, until you have rounded off both sides, A {ittie practice will enable you to do this ly although you may waste way: In be or break two or three pleces of ice in the effort. As you go along with the work of scrap- ing put the round piece, or lene, in your mouth every few minutes. The heat of the moutr will not only polish the lens, but it will smooth away those extremely fine ridges or Knife marks which might otherwise interfere with the concentration of the light. By holding it a proper dis- tance from a piece of paper, say about an inch, it presently will set the paper on fire. A good magnifying glass can also be made out of a piece of ice. This is easily done. Proceed as when you made yvur lens, only instead of making slightly con- vex sides make your lens in the shape of a ball or sphere. Opticians se)! glass balls filled with water for magn'fying purposes. The ice will act the same as the water- filled glass ball, and it is wonderful how much you may add to a day's enjoyment in this simple way. There are winter in- sects, branohes of trees, dead leaves and bark, snow and ice, all of which will re- veal h'dden wonders under this microscope. which nature places within the reach of any ingenious boy. Tie city boy may also amuse himself! with ice quite as readily as his country cousin, and he may do it in summer time, if need he, with the help of the commodity which the ice man leaves at the door every day. simply | HYPNOTISM ——— in: am. ee ..

Without Resorting to Language. T is hard work to teach a baby. The dif- ficuity is that we attempt to impress upon it greater ideas than it can grTasP. But let us view ‘t from another standpolt. In the close bond existing between parent and child, especially between mother and child, there exists the basis of silent com- munion. Words may be spoken and yet no sound uttered. If we omit the words and the sound, and by the express'on of face and con- centrated thought convey our idea, we shail eee how read.ly there is an understanding. A simple illustration that many have seen may suffice to define the position. While visiting a family where there was a bright baby, 8 months old, some evidences in this line were demonstrated. Everyone loved the child and would not willingly cause pain or grief, but it was after all interesting note how the little.one could be affected to tears when no words were spoken. Fre- quently, some member of the family would say, “Watch the baby and see what I] make him do.” The operator would then | draw the face down, as though sad and A ie, a8 RES. to i ee ee ready to cry, the while looking toward the child, then there the response; the baby would catch the glance, nestle close to mamma, the lips and chin quiver, the eyes fill with big, salt tears, and a quick, fr-ghtened cry showed how perfect had been the experiment. After this had been done several times it was noticed that the child looked into the faces of the members of the family who had tried this experiment, there would be an earnest questioning look, as much as to say. ““‘what shall I do?” half expecting to ry. but If by chance the eyes seemed lov- ing and kind, and a smile played about the lips, the baby would sweetly coo his con- tent. This, and similar cases, dally occurence in many homes, even carried to greater lengths. In spite of all that could be said to discourage this practice and exhibition of pewer, théere was failure to grasp the idea that there is an underlyqing principle which must sometime receive its just consideration and demon- about earnestly would come bend forward, are almost of ' ’ * ve ee 7? OSS ae A ee eee and are strate the unity of mind and the action of thought, silent or expressed in words. This is a subject which ought not to be treated lightly, but should demand our most serious and careful attention. Little do we realize our own ability and power either to make or mar the life of another by that which is given unthinkingly to the world. There is enough of sorrow and pain in it now with- out causing more just for the fun of an experiment. For many months, and even years, there is no alphabet or language, only a trans- mission of our meaning by our acts rather than words. The child knows when very mall that a gentle touch of the hand, or a kiss. means approval, a frown or withheld caress, displeasure. Our thoughts perme- ate our atmosphere, and as we come in close touch or contact with others, we’ un- consciously speak in silent language. The love glance of the eye tells its own story. What is it which causes a child to readily go to one and shrink from another? If “thoughts are things’’ certainiy they are very potent and forceful. IDA P. A.

Father A. F. Frumveller, Professor of Astronomy in St. Louis University. ° ARLY in next December there will oc- > cur a conjunction of planets such as has probably not been recorded in the history of the world. Mercury, which re- volves around the sun in 88 days; Venus, 224.7 days; Earth, 365% days; Mars, 687 days; Jupiter, 11 years; Saturn, in 33 years, and Uranus, in 8 years, will be in the same part of the heavens at that time. The remarkable difference in the length of time required for the planets to revolve around the sun makes: the chances one in a million that they will ever be in the Same part of the heavens together. There is probably some el¢ctrical nection between the planets, but this will probabiy not be so intensified as to cause trouble. This unprecedented grouping of planets will be of no benefit to science, for thei: size and movements have been accurate- ly determined, and nothing further could be learned by examining them in juxtaposi- tion. But the common people—that is. those who have never made a study of astronomy con- ——— a ue aR — aM nth se vee ERS: Je TO on According to -—-will be much interested in these strange conditions. Weather prophets will be able either to prove or disprove—as they may desire—their contention that the weather of the earth is affected by the influence of other planets. There are periodical sensations in the eky, such as an ecliqse of the sun or the moon or meteroic showers. Sometimes the earth and other planets are in conjunction, but there has never been recorded a time when all of the planets excepting one— Neptune—came together, as in thig case. This will make the date memorable, but that is all. Il see no reason why there should be me- teoric showers 6dr any unusual disturbances in spite of this unprecedented etate of af- fairs. At all events, there will be meteor- ic showers or star showers, as they are commonly called, November 12 and 13. /The earth is moving all the time through Streams of nebulous matter, and when the attraction is strong enough it draws the matter to itself in small particles in the form of what we call meteors or shooting stars. The planets move in one direction, these nebulous streams in another. The influence they exert upon each other is inefgnificant. a — ~ 4 x) * ° 4 alos Seuekee we A eee . > ie es ee vy rey ee sa ae af ew. *Y ists Seanet' 7 . -° we “ . echo Sh hes a oee ee ~ s oond os +> t- +? o*— ee oes re yo toh eres 581s Mee . tee Fee * oe “+.

French, English and American astrologers say so. liminary troubles will commence June 8— the date of a lunar eclipse—according to Astrologer Zadkiel, but the big jar will not come until six months later. All this will be caused by the conjunction of the sun, earth, moon and all of the plan- ets except Neptune. Such a meeting has not occurred for 6000 years, atéans trouble. “~~ other and the signs in which The pre-_ It always | nile pots yc Cae suit ast ids ee os aphatsest Seas ; oe Pe ou . . “a “~ STRoarH bss “The Gathering of aia to each they are grouped indicate, according to astrology, that their combined power will be exerted with baleful effect upon the earth. As to the precise and definite form, which the disaster will take, those who believe that the fates of men are written in the heavens differ widely among themselves. Some insist that the portent is for Sab earthquakes or other great physical dip- turbances; others read the omen for efpi- demics and plagues, and another claes lay the emphasis on social, political and if- dustrial upheavals and revolutions. i! agree, however, that the extent of the evils will be world-wide, and now and then one ventures to predict that there will be ho world at the end of these direful days, 9$r at least not in its present form and condi- tton.~ It is a etrange cvincidence that prophets and seers in France are also pre- dicting the coming of Antichrist and |a reign of terror and blood for the closing months of this year and century. According to Dr. J. C. Sheet, an American astrologer, the seven planets with the syn coming into the mystic sign of Sagittarias in the latter part of November, and cop- ‘‘prophetic Their relations Planets as Foreview It. Astrologers sign of fiery triplicity,”” which will affect the whole system of governments, _relig- ions, political asad financial economy, as well as the motor nerve system in individ- uals. He does not belHeve that the effect will be eo marked here as in Eastern lands, yet it wili be sufficiently grave to warrant the utmost apprehension and pre- caution. Dr. Broughton, president of the New York Astrological Society, makes prognos- tications almost as pessimistic in character as those of Dr. Street. “Where 60 many planets, aided by the sun and moon, are in conjunction on one Side of the earth,”’ he declares, “‘with only one to oppose them on the other side, there must be a disturbance of equilibrium in the liquid interior of the earth and in the atmosphere surrounding our planet. “This will produce physical catastrophes of many sorts—great floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, tidal waves and volcanic eruptions, “In December next, when the conjunction of the planets now approaching one an- other is attained, these catastrophes will reach their most destructive limit, and in parts of the earth whole communities will be obliterated.’’ from the trumpet, a ivilicking voice with a very bad Irish digiect. TI at first thought it was the doctor, the tone was so strangely like, But It was received with a chorus of delighted squeals and hailed as ‘‘Mac,”’ so I must have been mistaken. It turned out to be McGinnis, somebody's ‘“Control,’’ and a very good fellow, but the asthmatic lady got fresh with him by asking if he was hot, and such familiarity caused him to withdraw. Shoe was severely censured for this by one of the fat girls, who had to stop, however, and say “‘Thank you, fa- ther and mother,’’ to two white spots, at least two white spots to me, that appeared before her. I asked Miss Flint (she sat by me and one gets chummy in the dark) if the girl's parents were dead, and she said no, they must be her father and mother-in- law. I thought I had detected a glad ring in the fat girl's voice. There was a moment's pause, for the mu- sic-box had run down and had to be wound up again. This occurred frequently, and until it was playing again hostilities, or, I should say, demonstrations were suspend- ed, but when it did go there was a reg- ular flow of spirits, or, rather, spiritual signs. The Mrs. Spiritualist started a hymn and the air became full of gleaming anchors, scythes, flowers and fingers point- ing up. Most of them meant something to somebody, and “‘thank yous’’ resounded on all sides. Some of the emblems were timid and had to be coaxed to ‘“‘come nearer.” One of the young men was absolutely dogged by a rose. It circled all about him, and it was certainly eerie. We were besought to smell the odor of it. I had to sniff a long while before I could catch a trace of perfume and by that time it had degenerated into German cologne. The rose, by the way, was a departed swectheari: her name was Flossie. For one accustomed to more or less prominence, this business of sitting un- heeded, clutching my purse and staring wildly at other people's signs was a trifle humiliating and I tried to think of some ghost of an acquaintance that I could con- acientiously parade before so motley a gathering, Someone who had enjoyed pub- licity and who didn’t know too much about my guilty past. As I was speculating on the wisdom of such an attempt I received a resounding whack on the head. I did the natural thing under the circumstances. I said “Ouch!” Then I turned ice-cold, Then I reported the matter to the Spiritualist. It Was a message, he translated, some spir- it wished to commune with me. The ter- ror of a “first night"’ was mild compared to my agony just about then. Now was my time to make a hit, and talk wita dead, living or unborn friends, as I chose to name them. I struggled with fear, am- bition and decency and in the end my youthful training asserted itself, and I re- plied, somewhat heatedly, that I had no friends in the spirit world with whom I cared to talk if they cared to make such an exhibition of themselves. That made the spirits, or Was it the spiritualist, mad, for the lady two chairs on my left immedi- ately received a message through the trum- pet from a very cross spirit with a voice like McGinnis’, minus the dialect, telling her she shouldn't come there if she didn't believe. She was much surprised and as- sured him she did believe. but he wouldn't have it that way, and I thought of the young kings of ol4 and the whipping-boys and felt lNke royalty. A real ghost appeared on the curtain. It was like a hitching post, only wobbly and it would not “come nearer.” Others ap- peared after that, claimed and thanked by several ladies at once.

The people there were eager to see Mr. Huntington. He bas great things in store for them. He has a new railroad with steel bridges; he has the reorganization and strengthening of three other rallroads; he has new docks and better harbor facili- ties; he has the reclaiming of waste, water- soaked land around the bay, a new beach hotel and better transportation facilities to other parts of Texas and'‘to the North. The people look forward in view of these facts to a Greater Galveston. . Collis P. Huntington is the Moses who is. to lead them forward to the Promised Land of greatness. The majority of Galvestonians had never seen the old financier. It was resolved to| give him a rousing reception. Before he left New Orleans he received a telegram: asking when he would reach Galveston. His. answer was misdirected, but the people - were at the Union Station anyway when he arrived. There were bankers, merchants, lawyers, preachers, commission men, cot- ton brokers, doctors, business men, news- paper 1: 1en—every class of men, in fact, to be found in any city the size of Galveston, Those who were not on hand promptly hur- ried to the station as soon as the news was flashed around that the old financier was in town. A general levee was held in the rotunda, and before Mr. Huntington was ready to enter his carrtage hundreds of substantial citizena were crowding around him, shaking his hand, introducing them- selves or being introduced, all intent upon showing him how glad they were to see him and how happy the City of Galveston was to have him “in its midst.” During the morning he drove out in the suburbs with other officials of the South- ern Pacific Railroad and e party of citi- zens. At moon he appeared on the floor of the Galveston Cotton Exchange, where he was greeted by several hundred citizens. sWhen he entered there were hearty cheers, and the press of the throng was s0 great that he could hardly reach the front of the hall. There another informal levee was held and Mr. Huntington was Introduced to the leading lights of Galveston, including business and professional men and the clergy. After 15 minutes of hand Fly flew to the rescue of t millionaire and said: ‘Gentlemen: It is with more than usta! pleasure that I welcome Mr. Huntington in behalf of the municipality of Galveston, because we realize what his coming here medhs—that he will assist us in eventually making this city what we have long con- tended for, a modern Garden of Eden, less the restrictions placed upon that munici- pality. Not only Galveston, but the entire State of Texas, the Southwest and the Northwest will be benefited by the coming of his lines to this port, and w'th additional! facilit'es freight rates will be cheapened and increased business will come as a mat- ter of course. Mr. Huntington, we are de- lighted to have met you.” Mr. Huntington replied: “I am glad to see you and hope to have large interests here. I had supposed that this was already the Garden of Eden, but, if not, we shall do all {n our power to make it such a place. I believe they had a little difficulty there; we will try to have none here. (Laughter.) You know the geography of the country as well as I do—not better, for I have been all over ‘tt. I see no reason why this city should not be one of the fa- vored places on the American Continent. You have deep water now, and I see no res- son why Galveston should not be one of the most important of our commercial cittes. You have back of you a vast territory to the north and west, which will naturally take to the water here.

He does not appreciate how his being is pervaded with the current. The oscillator is one o fthe chief secrets of the apparatus. When the patient comes out of the cabi- net he wants to expectorate freely, for the germs have been loosened and the respira- tory atea feels soothed. A sense of buoy- ancy is experienced, and the patient longs for the next day that he may experience the same sense of relief. Day by day :the history of the case is compiled—one examiner reporting what the microscopical examination of the blood shows; another what the sputum shows, and a third what the urine shows. Thus it is known how many treatments are needed, or how long the patient may be left In the cabinet. The sputum analyses are made in New York by Dr. Ferreol T. Labadie of No. 605 Madison avenue. Dr. Labadie, after his graduation at Bordeau, France, in 1884, served as a bacteriologist with Pasteur in Paris for 12 years. Others on the medical and chemical staf could not be identified, Electrodes for penetrating the nasal cavi- ty, the ear, the mouth and other parts have béen devised, and it is possible to reach almost any affected part by local applica- tion. The construction of thé apparatus Is sim- ple, and so far as can be learned not a sin- gle untoward result has followed the use of the electrodes, the oscillator or the ozone generators in more than a hundred . cases.

Read the Mind of William K. Vanderbilt as He Might Read an Open Book and Drew Pictures of Celebrities of Whom Persons Attending a Reception Were Thinking. NEW YORK, April 6. Special Correspondence Sunday Post-Dispatch. WEEK or more ago Khaldah, the Egyptian, was demonstrating his gifts of telepathy, and it chanced ; that William K. Vanderbviit was one of the : guests. “If you can tell me,” said the millionaire, hat I am thinking of at any given time I will pay you $10." The millionaire and Clasped hands. Khaidah, for perhaps 2% seconds, knitted is brows and gazed intently at his sub- t. Then he said with a smile of triumph: “Mr, Vanderbilt, you were thinking of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Am I right?’ Mr. Vanderbilt seemed almost dazed for an instant and then said: “Abdsolutely right. How on earth do you do it?’ “i cannot explain,” said Khaldah, think very hard, concentrate myself in your thoughts, make myself receptive to your mind—then it comes like a face seen in @ mirror. I see your mind, I feel your thoughts.’’ Tall, siender and graceful, with broad Shoulders, a long, typically Egyptian face, every feature straight and clean-chiseled, a head large, broad and deep, covered with hair of midnight blackness, parted in the ' @niddie and falling in picturesque disorder @ver his white forehead, great black rest- Jess eyes, which shone out from under- neath straight black eyebrows, long armed, with narrow, slender white hands, adorned each with an Oriental ring of value, at- tired in faultiess evening dress of the smart World of to-day, with the charming ease Of &® Man perfectly at home among people Of the world, Khaldah explained to his anx- 10U8 guests that he should attempt to give them a few tests of his ability to read the mind of another. “There is nothing mysterious in what I shall attempt to do,” said he; ‘‘no trickery. I cannot possibly know what yow may choose to think about. I never saw any of you, except our host and his brother berore In my life, to my knowledge. I do not know your names, even. “But I shall try,” he added. smiling and showing a double row of fine white teeth, «&- ; ica, ae .

Stepping back, he wrote the month and day on a sheet of notepaper, together with some queer Arabic figures; then, looking up quickly, said: “Florence. Is that right?" Turning to a gentleman on the opposite side of the room, Khaldah said: “You write something. I do not care whether it is a question or a statement, only please make the writing very plain so that any one who saw it could read it."’ In slow, schoolboy fashion, one but the writer's knowledge, words were penned: “Will you lend me a five spot?" Although this was slang and an up-to- date Americanism; Khaldah repeated the performance as before, but without the mental spelling, only adding, deferentially, in a scarcely audible whisper, “Oh, I can tell what you wrote; but do you want me to say it right out before all of the ladies and gentlemen?” The writer of the sen- tence blushed, but said: “Oh, yes, speak it right out.” Then said the Khaldah, with an amused smile: “‘The gentleman has asked a ques- tion. He says would I lend him a five spot—what you calla V. Eh?" After a little general conversation one of the gentlemen said he had witnessed the celebrated Washington Irving Bishop do some wonderful mind-reading feats in Liv- erpool. Khaldah caught the name very quickly and said: “Yes, yes, Mr. Bishop was very clever. A wonderful man; but I will try to see if I can do in a modest way some of the things he did. Will you confer among vourselves and think of something you want me to do?” One of the gentlemen whispered to anoth- er, “You go and garrote the doctor.”’ This wae a very hard feat, and somewhat similar to those Bishop used ta practice, but the doctor alluded to, perhaps unconsciously, without any these antagonized Khaldah. For when Khaldah took one of the gentlemen by the hand and led him over to the physician he did not clutch the supposed victim's throat. Khaldah hesitated. Then he removed the doctor’s eyeglass string from around his neck, and next his cravat, using the subject all the time. It was plain that Khaldah knew that the subject whose hand he held was thinking about doling something to the doctor's throat, but as the doctor afterward started, after his eyeglasses and cravat were removed, he willed himself as strongly as poss ble against any other in- dignities and kept repeating, ‘‘You will fail! You are confused! You cannot do this!” Great beads cf perspiration stood out on Khaldah's forshead, his muscles twitched, and he still pers'sted in holding the #ub- ject’s hands and fingers in proximity to the physic'an's throat. At last he took the sub- ject’s other hand and put the whole ten fingers around the physician's throat. ‘‘Let me see if you are not more sympa- thetic,”’ said Khaldah, addressing the host- ess’ sister. “Think of something you want me to do, some feat like putting out a lamp and relighting it.” After a moment's thought the lady said: “‘Very well, I am *ready.”’ Khaldah took her hand and grace- led her around a table in the library over to a bookcase, slid back the door, leaned over. picked up a pocket kodak, crossed the room and placed it on the man- telplece. This was not all. Khaldah performed a still more marvelous act. Going to Mrs. Ayer, whom he had never met in his life, he said, “I think you are a literary woman. Won't you take a book and pick out a word you want me to find?’ Mrs. Ayer went to a table, opened a volume, and carelessly turn- ing the pages, stopping a moment to glance at a word, fixed her mind upon an adjec- tive of four letters, The magician arose, picked up the vol- ume, and going over to a lamp, with the book in his hand, rapidly turned the pages and then walked back to where Mrs. Ayer was seated. Taking the index finger of her right hand. he held it an inch or two above the page, gradually lowering it to about the middle, when he put her finger exactly over the word she had chosen, mnd which she had persistently kept in mind. “That is really wonderful, Mr. Khaldah,”’ she com- mented, “‘Won't you repeat it?’’ After supper Khaldah did the most mar- fully “to tell each of your S hristian ‘names, your - eae ee Cee eee SP ogame oe . ¥ ROSS ee Fe Ras Kg" cass ae f [LLIAM W WHITNEY has a geniue for organization.

Hoespital to Bellefontaine Cemetery. To accomplish this end by the construc- tion of an underground railroad is what Mr. Whitney proposes to do: and all New York believe he will do it, because he says he will It will be the most colossal municipal enterprise ever undertaken in the world. Mr. Whitney had been out of the Harvard Law ®8chool only six veare when he first tried bie hand at organization. In 1871 he established the Young Men's Democratic Club. The activity which commenced then “nied him tn Mr. Cleveland's cabinet 14 ‘rs later, ond might bave placed him in the White House, if he fad been willing to make the race. In 1872 Mr. Whitney’s youthful political efforts were rewarded by appointment to the position of Inspector of Schools, but this towering height seeme not to have satiefied his dreams of elevation. He be- came the leader of the County Democracy of those days, and in 1875 wae appointed Corporation Counsel of New York. When he took that office there were pending In it no less than 3800 actions, if suits are not misnamed “actions,”" which had slept in the office, as some of them had, for a generation.

It is a matter of record that in two years he had doubled the volume of business transacted and actually reduced the expense of the office. In 1882 he re- signed office to resume private practice; for there were urgent outside demands for the services of a man who had served his clients, the people, so well that millions a year had been saved to them by defeating claime against the city treasury. When, in 1885, he went Into the first Cleveland Cabinet, people said, “‘Whitney is eure to find something to reorganize there.”’ And he did. That part of his career is well remem- bered. Within a year he had reorganized Navy Department methods 60 that for the first time in its history it was possible to present at any moment a complete state- ment of receipts and expenditures of any class of supplies throughout the entire ser- vice, and of the total valuation of supplies on hand for issue at all shore stations. Some recent occurrences in which Ad- miralse Dewey, Schiey and Sampson par- ticipated, prove the value of that. But it was in the matter of supplying the navy with ships that Secretary Whit- ney made his great record. We not only lacked ships, but there not this side of the Atlantic a plant which could manufac- ture armor, forgings for great guns, or rapid-fire guns. He sald he would not build ships with for- eign materials, and he did not do so, al- though at the end of four years he had built or had under way five double-tur- reted monitors, two armorclads, a dyna- mite cruiser, five steel unarmored cruisers and three armored cruisers. It was during the second or third year of his term in the Cabinet that Mr. Whit- ney began wondering if he could not “re- organize” the surface railway system of New York. What he has done in that line the world knows. Yet he is not an officer of the company; not even a director: but its vast finances, its officers, its heads of depart- mente are controlled and operated by him. To rebuild and restock the main lines and supply a new motive power nearly $40,000,- 600 was required. This man, who has not even a vote in a meeting of the Board of Directors, secured the money. He deter- mines what shall be done, and capital in unlimited streams flows into him, though he has not much as issued a prospectus to set forth the facts upon which 2% von- clusions rest. This question was asked financier in Wall street: “How much tmoney could Whitney get in Wall street for a scheme which he said he approved but did not explain’”’ “How much money is there street?’ was the only answer. William C. belongs to the eighth genera- tion of Whitneys in the United States. Not one of them has failed to achieve promi- nence since John Whitney came to New England with Sir Richard Saltonstall in 1635. There was Gen. Josiah, who fought against the French and Indians at Crown Point and was the militia commander at Harvard in 1774 and helped to frame the Constitutions of Massachusetts and of the United States; his son, who served in the Continental Army; Stephen, who was a Representative in the Massachusetts Gen- tral Court, and Gen. James, William's fa- ther, who was Brigadier-General in the Second Massachusetts, member of the State Senate, and Collector of the Port of Bos- ton. On his mother’s side Mr. Whitney's de- scent is equally distinguished in American history, beginning with Gov. William Brad- ford of Plymouth Colony. Mr. Whitney was born in Conway, Mass., in 1841. He attended an academy at East Hampton and prepared himself for Yale. He was graduated from there in 1863 and then took a two-year course in the Harvard Law School, and at once went to New York to practice his profession. “Whitney,” said an old lawyer, speaking of the ex-Secretary’s early career, ‘“‘gained practice rapidly because of the reputation he established in a very short time of fighting for his clients’ interests with steam-engine energy and unflagging en- thueiasm. Besides that, he knew a lot of So of a veteran in Wall law, in spite of the fact that he studied it at Harvard.”’ The speaker was a Yale man. To-day the people of New York have per- haps a livelier personal Interest in Wil- iam C. Whitney than in any other man in the city. When a man has effected a revolution in a city passenger transportation which gives 400,000 people free car rides dajly; who saves to the people of the city a matter of $7,000,000 a year in car fares—and makes money out of doing it—who steps in with an offer to spend $60,000,000 to solve the rapid transit problem, he becomes a per- son of lively interest not only to the public immediately concerned, but to all peo- ple. Concerning himself and his methods of work, he says: “I come in from Long Island in the morn- ings, arriving here at 9:30, and work two or three hours, I work by consultation with the chief executive men who manage the details of whatever interest I am concerned with at the time, and with our lawyers. “Mrs. Whitney's continued ill-health re- quires me to live in the country, and per- mits me to leave her only for the few hours I devote to affairs here. My after- noons—and many whole days indeed—I con- tinue to devote to Mrs. Whitney, as I have since her accident a year and a month ago. “But I must work. With me it would be more than running to seed if I did not work; I should go insane, I think. “There has been much to do in working out in advance the plans under which the Metropolitan system has been developed to its present growth, and there is much that remains to be done. Those plans engage most of my working time. ‘“‘When I first went into the matter I saw the wonderful possibilities ef the Metropol- itan line, and that was what attracted me to the work. It is etill fresh in the minds of most New Yorkers that when we first went into the street railroads here the ser- vice was slight, insufficient, expensive to passengers and without any kind of or- ganization. One could not travel more than two or three miles on any eurface road for one fare. The service was poor and slow, and passengers had to pay two fares to NED HIS GREAT WEALTA AND OF AlS TRANSPORTATION PLANS. go anywhere off the two or three main lines. “The public may be sceptical as to this, but I asure you the first incentive in my mind in determining upon the consolida- tion and improvement of the many lines making up our present system was to af- ford a better service at a cheaper cost. The poesible profits of such an accomplishment were not considered. Indeed, I. may tell you now that for eight or ten years after we began there was not a cent of profit im it.”’ “It took some money to do the work com- pleted up to date?” “It took,” responded Mr. Whitney in the manner of one asked to recall a baseball score, or a matter of that kind, “it took quite a lot of money. I've never taken the trouble to figure it up, but I should say we have put $30,000,000 or $40,000,000 of ‘new’ money into the system. “The success of the system depended on a liberal, even an extravagant expenditure of money in its improvement. The last change we made, adopting the electric con- duit system, was only undertaken afier we had spent two years of time and about $600,000 In investigation and experiments.” Mr. Whitney's clear blue eyes are as inquiring and his tall form as youthfully alert as ever. He has the figure of a col- lege athlete and the complexion of one in training. Except that the iron gray now predominates in his mustache and hair, he does not look a day older than when he firet took charge of the Navy Department.

The grandest horse that ever measured time and dis- tance, he died on his native soil, Kentucky, March 23, 1899. He who had proudiy carried to the red and blue of the Dwyer stables; whose marvellous performances as a year-old raised to enthusiasm the views of thousands upon thousands of excited spec- tators until the name of Hanover was heard around the world; he who by reason of his prowess as a champion became the unqualified ‘‘favorite’’ of owner, breeder, jackey, racing public and ‘‘tout,” lay down to die in his stable with little children holding hia bridle. To them it was not a noble animal that was dying; it was not ; king of the turf, the llustrious son of a kingly line, but a friend, a patient, gentile, kindly friend.

Now He Is a Lecturer on Temperance, and Is Known to a Large Number of Missourians Only as a Talented Orator. OHN SOBIESKI of Neosho, Mo., claims ] that, {f Kose'usko had succeeded in . reorganizing the Kingdom of Poland in 1792, he would now be the reigning mon- arch of that country. Mr. Sobicski is the sixth lineal descendant In the male line of the great King John Bo- bieski, the most distingu'shed chieftan Po- land ever had. The history of the Sobieski family ls largely a history of Poland. The monarchy of Poland was elective under the ancient regime, and that is the reason why only one Sobieski ever attained the king- sh p. Dut whoever the K'ng happened to be, the house of Sobieski was the real pow- er behind the throne. Mr. Sobleseki’s life has been ev entful, He was born in Wareaw, in 1842. His Father, Count John Sobieski, led the revolutien of 1846, which ended so disastrovsly. ‘The fa- ther Was executed and the son banished. Since then Mr. Sobieski has played many parts nm the drama of uh'story. He has been a bugler in the United States Army; a leader of the armies of the Republic of Mexico, and a maker of laws for the State of Minnesota. For the past 30 vears he has been an ener- gctic advocate of the abolishment of the liquor traffic, the enfranchisement of wom- en and the abolishment of capital punish- ment. He concluded a series of temperance lectures In this city Friday n'ght under the ausp'ces of the Prohibition Union. He fills from 100 to 150 lecture engagements a year. He has a genital dispcsition, and is re- nowned as a wit among those who have heard his lectures. He has a splendid physique and goldierly bear'ng. He has lived In Neosho since 1884, He has a wife and a grown daughter. He says he will die and be buried in Amer'can soil. All hope that he ever entertained of return- ing to his native land and assisting it to freedom ‘!s dead, he says: but he likes to talk about what might have'been if the patriots of Poland had their way. He said: “If the plans of Kosciusko and other Polsh patriots had been carried out in 17% and the greedy hands of three of Europe's unscrupulous powers had been kept from Poland's throat, a hereditary monarchy would have been established in that. un- happy country and J, instead of being a humble citizen of democratic America, would to-day be its king. “I do not make this claim on idle grounds, is based on the truth of history. “The first partition of Poland took place ‘n 1772, during the reign of King Stanislaus, a weak and vascillating monarch, much given to dissipation. Russia, Prussia an Austria participated in this unholy deed, each being allotted ,an equal portion of Polish domain. “Theft spir't of Poland was broken the Wation, bowed down with grief, cepted the humiliation submissively for twenty years. But in 1792 the ereat Kos- clusko, the champion of national independ- ence, who had just returned from the Unit- ed States, where. he had@erendered vaiuable assistance to the new Republic, began to agitate a plan to reunite the sundered por- tions of Poland, to establish a constitution and to erect a monarchy, hereditary in character, but limited in the exercise of its powers. “Each member of the nobility was to par- ticipate in the election of the first k'ng under the new constitution. After that, the succession was to pass from father to the It and ace- eldest son, if there was a son, and {if not to the eldest daughter. “There was but one man in all Poland upon whom every family of the nobility could unite. He was Count John Sobieski, my great-grandfather. He was the only man who could be proclaimed king without arousing the jealoysies of rival families and stirring up civil strife. He was a great warrior and statesman, and his associates recognized him as a leader. “It wes n° time then for feuds and family quarrels. It was necessary that the patriots of Poland should unite their strength and work harmoniously together in their common cause. These conditions could be secured only by the nomination of Count Sobieski for king. ° “A greater politician and a greater states- man than Kosciusko never lived. After analyzing the situation, he called a council! of the ndébility and urged the nomination of Count Sobieski. There was not a dis- senting volcé. Sobieski was to be called to the throne and the dynasty of Poland was to be established in his family. “But the mailed hands of Austria, Prus- sia and Russ‘a were interposed to prevent the consummation of this plan. It is pos- sible that those powers would have ac- quiesced ir the scheme to reorganize Po- land only for certain provisions of the con- stitution which Count Sobieski, Kos- clusko and the Polish patriots generally held to be inviolable. Those provisions de- clared that serfdom should be abolished and that the monarchy should be limited. Kurope, at that time, was surging and heaving with a storm of revolution, which was battering and shaking the thrones of absolute monarchs. The minds of men were permeated with strange principles, which encouraged individual liberty and urged opposition to the ancient theory of the divine right of kings. The absolute monarchs of Austria, Russia and Prussia feared that the provisions of the new Po- lish constitution, abolishing serfdom and limiting the power of the throne, were recognitions of revolutionary principles. They accordingly marched great armies to Warsaw, captured the capital and crushed the new government before it was fully organized. Then followed the second partition of Poland, which holds until this daw. “If the reorganization of the kingdom had been achieved I would to-day be reigning in Warsaw as the Fourth King John. The throne would have passed from my great- grandfather to my grandfather; thence to my father, and, through him, to me. “But the nobility of the Sobieski family did not depend upon the success of Kos- ciusko’s plans. It was the most ancient and.honorable family in Poland, and had acted important parte in the affeirs of the crown from the organization of the king- dom. It had given many warriors and statesmen to the country, and was held in high esteem by the other members of the nobility. No other family could boast a lineage so distinguished or a history so brilliant and full of glorious achievements. It was the ancient and distinguished no- bility of the Sobieski family that made my great-grandfather the nominee for the king- ship under the Kosciusko constitution. “If Poland had never been partitioned, and the same usages and customs prevailed now that prevailed then, I might be reign- ing as king under a different right than that which I would have taken under the Kos- ciusko constitution, My title would be re! oo Napa shine mote hein Td “an pe KING OF Count Sobieski in fact, just as it is now in right. 1 would be the head of the most distinguished family of the nobility, and it would be reasonable that I should be élected to the kingship. That would not necessarily foliow, fbut it would, at least, be a great probability. “The greatest king Poland ever bad was a Sobieski. He was the great Kinx John, of whom I am the sixth lineal descendant. being the eldest son of a line of ekiest sons. He was the greatest warrior ever pro- duced by Poland, and his feats in arms are among the moét celebrated in Europe. He won many great battles, but none has become so famous as that which he fought JOHN SOBIESKI, POLAND with the disciples of Mahomet under the walls of Vienna, Sept. 12, 1683. The Moslem hordes of Turkey had decided to make an- other effort to carry the Crescent into the land of the Cross. They arrived befere Vienna July 3, 1683, and immediately placed the city in a state of siege. The Austrians appealed to Louis XIV. of France for aid, which was refused, Emissaries were then sent to King John of Poland to beg his assistance. He replied that he was al- Ways ready to defend the Cross, and imme- diately assembled his army. It was small, but it was the most splendid Europe ever saw. It consisted of 40,000 men, 15,000 being cavalrymen, each of whom had won the nada sti: we 2 Lhe om A LCR ee eo | ———___—___ IE CAIOLOE SL AE ALD IE AP LEAL ALOS ALY DLO Ie ER ai i RO spurs of Khighthood nce ae the b his way to Vienna King John by 20,000 men under the Duke ¢ Caiteben.

He took his positian and on the following day attacked the beslegers like a whirlwind. The battle was long and stubbornly content but the Mohammedan army was finally cut to pleces and forced into a disorderly retreat, leaving behind its accoutrements and camp trap- pings. King John entered Vienna in tri- umph. The ‘Te Deum Laudamus" was chanted in every church in thej city. The Archbishop preached a sermpn in the streets to 200,000 persons, taking 4s his text the Scriptural quotation, ‘A man was sent from God whose name was John. ‘*‘He was the first and only Sobieski! who was ever honored by election to " throne.

Each novbleman had a vote in the selection of « king, and there were 300,000 members of the nobility in Poland, But no king could be chosen without a unanimous vote. While the Polish aristocracy was the most ex- clusive in Europe, it was at the same time the most democratic from very natural Causes. Any member of a noble family was eligible for election as king. The jealousy and rivalry of the different families on this account prevented the honor of king from being twice bestowed in the same family, except at long intervals. The no- bility would not suffer one family to govern them through more than one generation, lest the seeds of a hereditary monarchy might be scattered on too fertile soll. “For this reason, King John was the last Sobieski to occupy the Polish throne, al- though the family enjoyed great popularity until the partitioning of the kingdom. It was this system of electing a king that bred Poland's ruin. The kings degenerated into mere politicians, whose thoughts al- ways dealt with the promotion of their interests rather than those of the kingdom, If a hereditary dynasty had been estab- Ushed early in the eighteenth century, the humiliating fate which has been Poland's would probably have been averted and the old kingdom would be in existence to-day. “Through all the history of Poland the family of Gobieski is found fighting its country’s battles in time of war and solv- ing its problems of statecraft in the reign of peace. The Sobleskis have led ‘struggie after struggle for the independence of their native land, but all to no avail. In 18380 the students of Warsaw University, led by my uncle, Ben Sobieski, then 22 years old, or- ganized a revolution which proved to be the greatest uprising in the history of the country. It culminated in a great battle at Warsaw, in which 45,000 Poles contended against 212,000 Russians, Austrians end Prussians, The enemy was completely beaten, but the victory was a costly one to the Polish army. Only 10,000 of the 45,000 troops survived. In this struggle my uncle led a regiment of students. During the day powder ran short in the Polish lines, and the students, discarding their rifies, drew spears and fought tand-to-hand until the enemy retreated. The regiment contained 1200 men, but only 20 survived the battle, “When peace was restored 12,000 Polish patriots were executed and 80,000 were ban- ished. Another revolt was organized in 1846 by my father, Count Sobieski. It was soon suppressed and my father was exe- cuted In March, 1848. “Our estates were confiscated, and I, at the age of five years, was banished from Polish soil by special edict of the Russian Czar, a ‘“‘My mother took me to Belgium, Prussia and Austria, but I was not allowed to stop in any of those countries, We finally found safety in Genoa, Italy, where my mother supported us In the way we had been ac- customed to Hve by her knowledge of mu- sic and painting. : “When Capt.

A Roman proconsu! once said to his Emperor: “I have taken in taxes the last groat my people possessed.”’ “Therein,” the Emperor gravely re- marked, “you thave erred. It is my policy to shear my flocks, not to slay them.” HPN will the bubble burst? The next financial panic, which is surely coming, will be due to Over-trading in “industrials” and in elec- tric shares. It will be, In essentials, like all great Panics of the past. It will be based upon real values, inflated by the passion of gam- bling and the greed of gain. The new motive power renders possible vast economies and remarkable improve- ments, The new industrial combinations are of vast financial and economical im- portance. But real values are more provoc- ative of the speculation mania than doudt- ful ones. This was the case when John years a professional gambler, was mede Comptrolier-General of the Finances of France. He had killed a man in a gambling row, had been forced to flee from Great Brit- ain, and after his brief day of glory was over he became again a gambler in Brus- sels and in Venice.

In the mixed metaphor, but unmixed truth, your genuine lamb is always a bull. His wool and mutton are for the bear. SOUTH SEA BUBBLE. HE South Sea bubble, formed in 1711 by Harley, Earl of Oxford, had for ite object the extinguishment of the British national debt. Again a solid value sufficient to tify legitimate investment was made the basia of senseless stock-jobbing. Ten mi!- lion pounds of the debt were assumed by a group of merchants, forming the South Sea Company. The Government guaranteed an interest of 6 per cent and levied e@pecial duties to meet that interest. To compen- sate the company for assu.ning the debt, a monopoly of the Sout) Sea trade was guaranteed. Now the South 6ea trade is valuable. It was valuable even then. And yet, with all the trading in the shares of the com- pany, Out one single ship was ever eent out by it from Lendon, and war with Spain company were § issued, share, when jus- in 1718 rendered the sending of another imposible. Yet the shares rose to dizzy heights; by such leaps and bounds that the com- pany arranged to take over the entire pub- lic debt of slightly more than £30,000,000, the Government guaranteeing 5 per cent for seven years and a half, after which period a readjustment was to be made. Even with this enormous capitalization of a trade which had not begun to exist the shares rose on June 1, 1718, high- water mark of 80. In the crash that followed many of the British aristocracy were involved. The Ear! of Sunderland, the Duches of Kendal, the Countess Flaten, the the. Chancellor the Exchequer and many others were im- plicated. Gome had received free shares as a condition of booming the scheme, and these were made to disgorge almost the whole of their ill-gotten gains, so that which in their tender re- rose to the of in the end—by drastic measures governments of to-day, gard for the feelings of jobbing capitalists, sanction—the shearing the under the would not of lambs was less close than cir- issue cumstances would now be the case.

French speculation, as in the time of the Panama boom, is often rash; French finance is always sound. The beginning of the present century was marked by panics, due to the same cause, common human Hability to overesti- the immediate possibilities of good enterprises. The financial troubles which in America were caused by issues of continental paper money lasted well into the present century, But in a farming community, where many goods were bought by barter and farmers all that they needed, clothing or tools, the con- than the mate produced almost whether of food, sequences were less severe in more recent stringenclies.

Again, sensational speculation seemed justified by the most solid of values—land. The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 spired speculators with the idea that water transportation between the Atlantic sea- board and the great lakes made all the land of the new Northwest almost as valu- able as if it lay in Central New York. To-day this is near the truth, but it has taken fifty years to make it so. Even_in New York. so late as 1791, the State had sol¢ 56,500,000 acres of public land at low prices to favored grantees, and already the Holland Land Company owned millions of acres in Central New York and the Van elaers. Pierponts, De Peysters and in- other great families ruled dominions dwarf- ing those of Europe. Regardless of these great areas nearer the seaboard, which clamored for occupa- tion, land speculators fanned the unwhole- some activity in every State washed by the waters of the great lakes. Railroads, canals and banks were planned by the hundreds without supervision and in the serious belief that immediate success would follow. Men would organize banks in one Btate and circulate their worthless paper |bdills in another. Associated banks with vast debts and no assets would carry through the woods, bumping over corduroy roads, kegs of nalls covered with thin layers of gold and silver coins, to be used each in turn to dagzle the eyes of the bucolic bank- ing commissioners during their periodical visits. One bank in the Middle West was es- tablished in a sawmill, and a satirist said, with slight exaggeration: “Every village plot with a house, or even without a house, if it had a hollow etump to serve as a vault, waa the eite of a bank.”’ In Michigan to-day the scene of the most interesting experiment in public ownership of the means of communication tried in this country for # years—the altempt at municipal control of the street car lines of Detroit—a public credit of $5,000,000,| afs terward increased, was voted by the Legis- lature for railroads, canals, etc., most of which projects were abandoned. Land went from $1.25 per acre to ten or twenty times that amount. ‘Two brothers bought In a single day 240 quarter sections without loo«. ing at land or tities. When the crash came the State eold the Michigan Central Rallroad, the most prom- ising of the schemes it had contemplated, to private capitalists for $2,500,000, far below cost. Thus was public ownership of railroads in the house of its friends. More than W years elapsed before it was again seriously proposed in Michigan that either the State or the municipality could become a com- mon carrier. Yet to-day economists agree that the fin- ancial stability of Germany and Belgium are largely due to the fact that their rail- roads, the property of the State, are made to foster manufacture by low freight rates instead of atifiing it by ‘‘working the traf? fic for all it is worth.” The panic of 1887 was the most serious the coumtry had ever experienced. It waa like a blight.

Whatever Rory O’More may have said, there thas been little luck in odd numbers in the dating of financial crashes, True, it was in 1890 that the failure of the Barings resulted from overtrading in the securities of Argentina, one of the rich- est, fertile and most promising countries in the world; but the exception proves the rule. Save this year 18980 every date uf im- portance tn the long record of the steur- ing of the lambs of two centuries has been in odd numbers, It was in’ 1891 that the crash in Austra- lia—also a country with almost unlimited possibilities of mineral and pastoral wealth—emphasized again that the luck In financial odd numbers is confined t» tiose who wield the shears and is not «shared by the shorn. And the worst results of the panic came to this country in 1833, with currency contraction, failures an! the pushing to the wall of weak conceruvs. THIS CENTURY’S END.

He has created one remark. able picture and has made _ surprisingly faithful copies of several famous paint- ings. When he was a little boy his mother per. ceived the artistic bent of his mind and encouraged him in the development of it. ‘Very often she gave him a picture to copy and told him to finish it before going out to play. ‘This was no hardship for him. Hie would gladly have given up al! of nis playtime to the occupation of drawing pic- tures. Several of the crayons he drew then now hang on the wall of his parents’ home, and even they display remarkable talent. Onee there was an art teacher of some note in Belleville. Young Woelk’s father gave him permission to take lessons from the master. Enthusiastic over the prospect, drew a littie sketch and carried teacher. “Did you do this?" Ge rman, boy the boy it to the the teacher asked, in nald he did. re- The art instructor took another critical look at the picture. “Ich glaube es nicht!’ he said, bluntly, which is German for “I don’t believe it.” The teacher may have meant it is a left- handed compliment, but the boy's feelings were hurt. He took his sketch from the instructor's hand and, went away without a word Hie told ‘his father what the teacher had said and his father replied: “Sie brauchen nicht zu _ ihn which is German for the colloquial him up.” That was as near as the boy ever came to taking art instruction. Mr. Woelk is now 29 years old. Of tate vears he has confined himself to oil paint- ing. Before he came with his parents tc reside in Belleville he spent a year with them in Germany, where his eye was edu- cated by the beautiful scenery. Strangely, he chose the profession dentistry. He was graduated from tie St. louis Dental College in 1895 and was taken into partnership by Dr. J. J. Patrick, a Nelleville dentist, lecturer and author. At Dr. Patrick's death Woelk succeeded to his practice. Before this he had authors and statesmen, upon the walls of the building. He has also made a unique map showing the early settlements of Illinois, which is used by J. Nick Perrin in his lecture on “The Man of Illinois,’’ and will be used in his history of the State of Illinois, which he is now writing.

LEXINGTON, Ky., April 8. Gpecial to the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Pu clght years Editor H. H. Gratz of the Kentucky Gazette has advised women to carry weapens to cefend themselves from ruffians, Many women have taken his advice, and in-this county there are two or three doz- en women carrying pistols while going about their plantations alone. “Yes,” says Editor Grats, “‘my work is doing some good. From the first I had women tell me that they believed in women arming themselves, but they seemed slow to put my advice into practice. I can now recall a doesen who are good pistol shots and who carry their revolvers when about their duties on the farm and in the house in the evening. “Were I rich | would give premiums and organize revolver clubs for girls. | know one woman who takes dally practice with her husband's revolver.

But duty, imperative duty, calls them, and we repeat that our best wishes accompany them, and the little contingent of the United States Army wherever they may have to unfold their flag, a fiag of liberty and good-will to all men. At the beginning of this century Sydney Smith wrote that the Americans are a brave, industrious and acute people; ‘but they have hitherto given no indications of genius.” Had the great reviewer lived in these days how altered would have been his opinion! how readily he would have admitted that they have proved themselves a great nation in their literature, their statesmen, their laws, their ambition, their wars: And now. that they have spread themselves over a vast portion of the earth, now that they have cultivated all the liber- al and useful arts so successfully, now that their naval power has made its mark, let us rejoice to think that so great a nation is our ally in heart if not by treaty, for— whatever the future may have in store for us—if the United States and the British Empire are friends, the peace of the world has true friends. It is interesting to note in tion that no foreign troops—although can hardly speak of our American cousins in this sense—have landed in Maita and been received so warmly by all classes since the time of the Crimean War, now 45 years ago, when those who landed then this connec- we did $0 as allies.

CONF EDERATE VETERANS MAY CHANGE TITLE. N effort will be made this year to. A change the name of the United Con- federate Veterans tothe Confederate Sudvivors’ Association. A motion to change the constitution to that effect was voted down at Nashville in 1897, but a similar reso- lution was introduced last year at the At- lanta reunion, to be voted upon this year at Charleston, S. C. The meeting will be held May 10 to 13. The magnitude of this association can be surmised when it is known that there are 1198 camps in the United States, with 57.000 members. This does not include all of the Confederate veterans by any means, but of the 650,000 men who fought under the Con- federate flag it is believed that only about 150,000 are living. These camps are divided by States as fol- lows: Missouri 76, Illinois 2, South Carolina 116, Georgia 115, Alabama 100, Arkarsas 74, Ten- hessee (0, Mississippi 68, Louisiana 57. Ken- tucky 49, North Carolina 45, Virginia 39, Florida 34, West Virginia 21. Indian Ter- ritory 20, Oklahoma 17, Maryland 12, New Mexico 3, Montana 2, California 2, District of Columbia J, Indiana 1, Texas 230, Colo- rado 1; a total of 1138. In this connection there is ‘a curious fact. While there are 230 camps in Texas only 76 in Missouri, it estimated that there are more Confederate veterans in Missouri than in any other State. One important action at the coming re- union will be to present a formal request to the United States Census Bureau to find out in 1900 the exact number of sur- vivors of both the Confederate and Union Armies. It is believed that this request will be granted, for the information can be obtained without extra expense while the general census is being taken. and is it is also proposed to amend the consti- mrt dal Tee ote i a sees _ *y . x. pees ether IP * ) . 2 ee: a Sag, ras t ay ; ra fe. * Paes ; | | APRIL 9, 18 Mitt: hee * ~- SOR we arte Ses” a od hig vette at art extavielbas, teat gear! he displayed for the first time nis best work, “The Turko.""

Each annual reunion never fails tract from 25,000 to 50,000 visitors. The first reunion the veterans held was in Jackson, Miss., in 1890. Since that time conventions have been held in Chattanooga in 1891, New Orleans in 1892, Birmingham in 1894, Houston in 1895, Richmond in 1896, _Nashville in 1897, and Atlanta in 1898. to at- oe The president of the association is Gen. ohn B.

States, and the titles by which these numerous divisions are known pre- sent material enough to form the basis of a profound study in the Gertvation of geo- graphical names, These county names form almost a com- plete catalogue of American history. They not only serve as memorials of the great, but have conferred immortality upon many an otherwise obscure individual, who ‘‘came out of the west,’’ either as a cowboy or @ Congressman, Had the task of naming nearly 3000 coun- ties been given to the American people in the beginning, they would probably have been appalled by its magnitude, The way the problem has solved itself throws many sidelights on American characteristics and antécédents. Look at the a pgy~n namés in New England—B~ oF sedford, Worces- ter, Some, “end and the like; and the Indiauw wawicc sa ore Same locality— Androscoggin, Katahdin, Monadnock and others; and the French names, such as Champlain and Montpelier. Further down, in New York and vicinity, observe the Dutch names—Amsterdam, Spuyten, Duyvil and others, In Pennsylvania seé the trace of the Quakers in the very name of the State; “Penn's Woods,” given in honor of Wil- liam Penn, owner and founder of Philadel- phia. Further down. see ‘the traces of English loyalty in such county names as Princess Anne, King William, Prince Edward and ‘many others. All over the country there are Indian names, varying from the musical Tusca- loosa, Tallapoosa, Waxahatchie, Chicka- mauga, Oostanaula and Chattahoochee of the South to the harsher Androscoggis and Memphramgog of the North.

ON THE OHIO RIVER, HE steamer Falls City, which runs on the Ohio River, has a pilot house which folds together like an accor- dion. It reminds one of the old stump speech which predicts the day of ‘coffee pots thaé@hut up like jack knives."’ The boat was named for the city of Louis- ville. The pilot house was built in layers, in such @ manner that it can be removed in a jiffy and put back without trouble. and all the time remain stable. The pilot pulls out a staple here and a smal) iron rod there, and first thing he knows the whole struc- ture first together like a dress hat or a paces with one stave out and the hoops ovuse. It ie well that this is so, for whenever they call out “lew bridge!’ on the Kentucky or Ohio River it means that thesmokestacks must be unjo!nted and let down to a hori- gontal sition, and, as in the case of the Falls City, the llot house folded up. This latter trick came in very handy «a few sa at the Warthville Bridge on the Kentu y River There was a cry of “low bridge!’ ana ‘the boat Was put in réadiness to go under. Pilot Pat Laitch was compelled to duck his head, but even at be the topmost peae of his wheel missed girder of the bridge only about ! , so set 5 deep sea clams, oysters, devil fish and ‘‘mermaids” are the subject of a most interesting report ‘just made by the United States Fish Commissioner's expedi- tion, which was sent to Porto Rico tg in- vestigate its aquatic life for Uncle Sam, The steamer Fish Hawk, having on board the Government fish scientists, led by Profes- sor W. Evermann, brought back 260 species of fish. many of them new to ecience. A kind of devil fish of a most ugly sort was found. A sword fish with monstrous fin extending straight up from its back and feelers reaching far beneath the body was added to the collection of freaks. Porto Rico’s deep-sea waters are believed to contain several other varieties of devil fish and monsters, and a future expedition will make an effort to capture them. Another odd fish found ty the Govern- ment fish hunters was tie bat fish. No lobsters like ours seem to occur in Porto Rican waters, but there is a so0- called “spiny lobster’’ whioh i# eaten by the natives. It attains a length of about 18 inches. Blue crabs are extremely plentiful about the island. There are lots of fresh water crawfish. Bome day these crawfish may be exported in quantities to the United States, for they Precen RICO'S queer fish, sea turtles, |are very @elicious; but they have to be AS ON ae RI ep i Se RRR.” — tightly packed for the journey to prevent them from turning on their backs, else théey will work their feet until ‘exhausted, and so die. The Porto Rican crawfish gets a living by impaling small fishes and little frogs on its ‘“‘tusk,’’ as the horn between its eyes Is called. There is no fishery for the manatee in Porto Rico, though specimens of that huge marine mammal are sometimes seen in the tidal rivers. The creature is a near rela- tive of the extinct rhytina, or sea cow. It attains a length of eight feet anda weight of nearly a ton. Columbus saw several specimens on his voyages to America, and in his writings he spoke of them as “‘mer- maids.”” He said: ‘“‘They are not eo hand- some as painted, but their faces are some- what human-like.” In 1878. there was. @ manatee at the London Zoological Gardens. It would not eat a thing but lettuce, and this had to be of the French sort. Inas- much as it consumed 10 pounds a day the beast’s board bill was pretty eteep. Two species of fishes found in the neigh- borhood of Porto Rico are poisonous, One of these is the jurel, a kind of mackerel, which attains a weight of ® pounds. An- other is the meletta, a tropical herring, the most dangerous part of which is the roe, It not easily distinguished from another which is harmless. A finany curio ‘ - i ota tabi of these waters is the batfish, which imi- tates a plece of coral #0 artistically that it is difficult to detect the cheat unless the creature moves. When it does move it seems to walk on four lege, which jare in reality fins. It has a second pair of eyes, looking forward, near the tail. Most interesting of all the creatures that inhabit Porto Rican waters are the great marine tortoises. These are of three species —the green turtle, loggerhead and the hawksbill. The loggerhead has been known to attain a weight of 1600 pounds. At, 1000 it is eight feet long and nine feet —_ the back, including the filppers. It is @ very fast and strong swimmer, and the only way to take it is to catch it asleep in the water. Often specimens are seen many miles from and, floating on the waves in pdaceful elumber. Unlike the other big sea turties, the loggerhead is ca: @vorous, With its powerful jaws it easily cracks the shells of large conches, éating the “‘meats” of those mollusks. It feeds on crabs and shelifish of all sorts. The green turtles are the ones (At are chiefly sought with decoys of the kigd pre- viously described.

Fe *voa 1 week was not a. brililant pe- riod in thre history of St. Louis the- aters. he people were willing enough to turn out, but there was no at- traction of great merit to draw them. The Byndicate gave us the Bavarian Peasant company at the Olmpic and the Herrmanns at the Century. The Bavarians know how to act, but their language is something not even a German scholar can under- stand. They gave performances that were enjoyable, but getting the enjoyment in- volved such an intense devotion to what was going on, that the perfunctory playgo- er did not find the game worth the candle. As for the Herrmanns’ they are excellent in their line, but prestidigitating it not much more interesting to habitual playgoers than diggin’ taters is to a farmer boy. We all know either M. Herrmann or Mme. Herr- mann can convert water into wine as read- ily as the best of us—or the worst of us— can turn a glass of beer into a man, and because we know it we are not astenished by it and only mildly entertained, All of which is a very good reason why St. Louls people should patronize high-class shows more liberally, and thus justify Mr. Spalding and the other powers in extending the time of the worthy player folk in this city. Pursuing its custom In the matter of giv- ing the news first, the Post-Dispatch an- nounced several days ago that Malcolm Williams and Gus Weinberg would open a epring season at Uhrig's Cave May 21. The arrangement is only for three weeks, but if drama suits the patrons of the cave Frank McNeary will arrange matters so that Alex , Spencer's opera company will go elsewhere and the Williams & Weinberg combination will remain. Mattie Barle, who left 8t Leoulg Friday for New. York, has reconsid- ered her determination to go to England for the summer. and will be back in time to help “the boys’’ make a success of their “summer snap.” There will be other pop- Ular players in the company, and if the new ane gS je ie hie N _ ad 5 tll an a nee ae * » aes ville as the attraction. As to Forest Park Highlands it seems pretty certain that Col. Hopkins will be the presiding genius, al- though some persons pecuniarily interested in the resort are not fond of him. The Aquarama, which ran for a few weeks last fall, will reopen early. It is a novelty, being a water edition of the scenic railroad. Tt was a dramatic coincidence, as well as a coincidence of the dramatic world, that IAlly Post should have died In the same manner as her husband, W. H. ‘Morton. “Billy’’ Morton died died about five years ago in Bloomingdale, the famous madhouse in New York, where more than one noted actor has been conveyed for the final flick- ering of the candle which was burned at both ends. He was not an actor himself, but a manager of theaters and road attrac- tions. His life was the life of an actor, though, which means work by day as well as by night, always under tense mental strain in the pleasurable task of making money and fame and giving entertainment to the play-going public in return for them. He was maneger of the Coiumbia Theater in Chicago when he met Lilly Post, who was then one of MecCaul’s Operatic Venuses, They were married when she was in the heydey of her success as a singer and beauty. He went to ‘New York about 10 years ago and managed a Broadway house for a season or so, He was sent to Bloom- ingdale in 1891. His wife was frantic with grief, and it was predicted then that she would follow him. She was afterward with David Henderson. During the last four or five years she was not frequently heard of. Now she is dead, and newspapers that used to devote columns to discussions of her voice and praise of her beauty told of her demise in 00 words or less, Maclyn Arbuckle is down in Texas piaying the leading partin “Why Smith left Home,” and the dramatic writers of that great State seem to have difficulty in finding words of ANNE RUSSELL IN KATHERINE venture is not a success Mr. Weinberg and Mr. Williams will have cause for surprise. . They are popular, and it is not unreason- able to assume that their friends of the regular season wiil follow them to the summer theater. Speaking of summer theaters the Subur- ban is being put in eondition for what the society reporter calls “the heated term.” Jannopoulo and Gumperts will run it, The disposition of Koerner’s has not been made. “Billy” Garen of Haviin's was dickering for it and he@ a Boston opera company en- Seged, wrt he couldn't egree with Mr. Koerner as to terms.

One reason of this is that Mr. Arbuckle used to live in Texas: another is thet he is an actor of unusual merit. As soon as he fills his Southern sngagements he and the supporting com- pany will go to Purope and demonstrate to the blooming Britieh why Mr. Smith went away from home. St. Louis, by the way, is Mr. Arbuckle’s home, and when he was here last summer he was a consistent and persistent “rooter’ for Tim Hurst's late demented band of Rough Riders. Adolf von Sonnenthal, the great German actor, wil! appear at the Fourteenth Strect Theatcr on the night of April 2”. Mr. + Ak ~ ; i ts SS ee ier — —a \ pe . - Deg Noibert M. Rodkinson has published a pamphioct in German, with English trans- lation, telling who end what Sonnenthal is. He wag born in Hungary in 18%, and has been regarded as the leading German actor for many years. Edwin Booth ad- mired him greatly. Gus Thomas has disposed of his comedy drama, “Arizona,” and it will be produced early in the summer at thé Grand Opera House, Chicago. Mr. Thomas visited Chi- cago jast week and was exceedingly busy, looking over his vilay. “The Meddler,” in which Mr. Robson and his company pre- sented, reading a new play to Mr. Robson to be called perhaps ‘“‘The Catspaw,”’ read- ing another play to Marie Burroughs, who will star next season, and finally placing “Arizona,”” in the production of which Kirke Le Shelle will be interested with the Hamlins. Charles Frohman gave handsome lac- quered loving cups as souvenirs on the occasion of the 100th performance of ‘‘Be- cause She Loved Him 8So."" The cups are dainty little things, and persons lucky enough to receive them are full of admira- tion for Mr. Frohman. —-2 ~~ The return of “The Bign of the Cross”’ to St. Leuls sets the reminiscence wheel to buzzing. The play had its first public pro- duction on any stage at the Grand Opera House four years ago with the author, Wil- son Barrett, in the leading male role and Maude Jeffries as Mercia. This reminis- cence is about M’ss Jeff:ries, who: is with Mr. Barrett in England and is highly re- garded by the cr'tics of that country. Six- teen years ago she was a country girl, liv- ing on her father’s plantation in the wilds of the Mississipp! swamps. She was pain- fully shy and phencmenally awkward anil her only beauty was her big black eyes. Her father moved h‘s family to Memphis, Tenn., and in a year or two the girl blos- somed into a tall, sparkling beauty. She could sw'm like a fish and was the queen of the natatorium on ladies’ days. She got the stage fever and worried her father ti!] he consented to let her try her skil! as an acrtess. Lizzie Evans gave her a trial tn one performance of “Fogg’s Ferry.” or some other play of that sort. The girl was delighted and the next summer she went to New York and studied. A season at home followed, then she returned to New York, where she met Wilson Barrett. He engaged her and they have been to- gether ever since. Her father, James K. Jef- fries (how one reminiscence doth beget an- other) is in the Klond'ke. He had lost much of his large property and when gold was discovered in Alaska he left his home, with the stated determination to make a for- tune or die. Of course this has nothing to do with the production of ‘“‘The Sign of the Cross” at the Olymp‘c this week, but it serves to illustrate how a tra!n of thought scmetimes carries one to far away lands and topics. Willie Schaefer's benefit will take place at the Grand to-morrow night. He is only a mite of a treasurer, but he is a good one and has hosts of friends who are giad of the opportunity to make the event mem- orable to hiin. Francis Wilson will present “The Little Corporal’ at the Olymp’c next week. Mrs. F'ske intended to play ‘“‘Frou-Frou” two weeks in New York, but changed her mind and revived “‘Tess” after half a week. The fondness of several eminent actresses for *‘Frou-Frou” and “Magda” is one of the mysteries of the stage. Henri Lavedan, author of “Catherine,” in whica Miss Annie Russell will begin a week's engegcnient at the Century Theater to-morrow night, made his start as a dram- atist with the libretto for the opera of ‘‘Kermyn,” which he wrote with P. Millez to the score of “Bruno.”’ It was produced on June 9, 1897. His next attempt was ‘Le Quaotre d’Heure,”’ which was receivéd at the Theater Libre in March, 1888. Two years later he received the Toirac prize of 4000 francs for his play, “‘Une Famille,”’ which was produced at the Theater Fran- caise, Hoyt & McKee’s company, headed by Harry Conor, that will start from San Francieco on May 3 on a tour around the world, will make its first stop at Hono- lulu, H. I., arriving there May 1, and playing until May 24, when sail will be set for Apia, Samoa. After a few ap- pearances before the natives of this nu- cleus of culture, the company will proceed to Auckland, New Zealand, where it will tarry for a brief space. On June 12 the players will open at Sydney, New South Wales, their Australian tour, that will in- clude all the principal cities of the antipo- dean continent. Most of the Hoyt suc- cesses will be presented. A tour of South Africa will then be made, after which the company will return by way of England to this country. Digby Bell recently filed a petition in bankruptcy in Chicago. His liabilities amount to over $37,000, with practically no assets. His losses are accounted for from the fact that his plays, like “Joe Hurst, Gentleman,’ and “The Hoosier Doctor," have been flat failures. Mr. Bell has not made any money since he first went star- ring. Rudolph Aronson has been negotiating for a ten years’ lease of either the Tacon or the Payret Theater at Havana. Mr. Aron- son Intends to send to Havana, as soon as tnay be practicable, a complete opera com- pany to give Italian, Spanish and light operas and he will probably build a roof- garden for vaudeville entertainments, di- recting the enterprises from New York. THE COST OF OPERA T is estimated that the receipts of the Grau Opera Co. for the season recently ended were $800,000. But this amount, according to common report, is $100,000 short of what the public paid for tickets. Speculators in tickets got the overplus, which wes about $900 a performance. There were also divers private concerts, soirces and recitals and $1000,000 {s only a fair figure at which to put grand opera and operatic artists in New York. The expenses, says Musical Americ’ were from $700.00 to 8730.00), leaving $20.00 profit. Of this the speculators got $1060.) the l'on's share. Grau meade about $70,000 to $75.000, and the opera syndicate cleared about as much. The principal artists re- ceived very large sums.

Van Dyck sang only 17 times and received nearly $30,000. Saleza sang 16 times and got $10,000. Dippel sang 15 times and got $8000. Maurel made $6000 for 12 performances. Al- bers and Bispham received $300 for each performance. Albers sang 2 times and B‘s- pham 25. Van Rooy made about $12000 for 19 performances. Plancon made about as much for 30 performances.

He realized there was a field in St. Louis for a school of practical dramatic instruc- tion and elocution, modeled after the New York schools, and a year ago last Septem- ber took the initiative in this city In or- ganizing such an enterprise. He gives his pupils at intervals throughout the season an opportunity of demonstrating practical- ly what they can accomplish in dramatic art by publicly producing plays at the Fourteenth Street Theater. The enterprise has been a constantly increasing success, and Mr. Lindsley will continue his instruc- tion throughout the summer and the fol- lowing autumn and winter at the PFour- teenth Street Theater ard his residence.

Saville, Robert Hickman, Francis Sedwick and Morgan Thorne. “The Sign of the Cross’’ comes to the Olympic to-morrow night for a run of one week. The initial production of the play was in St. Louis four years ago, when the author, Wilson Barrett, was playing at the Grand Opera House. It was reproduced last season at the Century, and had a re- markably successful run of two weeks. It is practically a dramatization of “Quo Vadis,”’ dealing with life and love in Rome during the reign of Nero, The company is about the same as that which appeared here last season. It was organized by Wil- liam Greet of the Lyric Theater in London to produce Mr. Barrett’s play. Charles Dal- ton carries the role of Marcus and Irene Rooke Mercia. Other members are W. E. Bonney, Agnes Scott, Harry (Child, Harry Burcher and Edward De Corsia, a:l of whom were seen here last season.

They come direct from Koster & Bial’'s Music Hall, New York City, where they enjoyed a run of 10 weeks of phenomenal business. Williams and Walker, who style themselves ‘‘the| two real coons,”’ are known as the best of the genuine colored comedians, and two of the most versatile performers in the vaude- ville business. They are surrounded by specialists noted in their particular lines, among whom are Hodges and Lauchmere, the Australian nightingales; Black Cari, magician and juggler; Mallory Brothers and Brooks, musical comedians; Goggin and Davis, grotesque acrobatic comedians; Henry Willlams, champion buck and wing dancer of the world; the Misses Overton and Halliday, singing and dancing come- diennes; the Williams and Walker Quar- tette. and a chorus of 2% girls, described as Creoles, with trained voices. The company numbers In all 45, and is the largest colored organization on the road, as the style of their entertainment is also the most am- bitious. Williams pany will b= Belasco and De Mille’s “The Charity Ball.”” one of the most popular plays ever written, will be given by the Grand Opera House stock company this afternoon and evening and during the current week. The last time it was given here Miss Georgia Cayvan appeared at the Olympic Theater in it as Ann Cruger. That was three years ago. Since that time “‘The Charity Bali’ has not been seen here. It is an unusually evenly balanced play as to cast, affording an excellent part to almost every member of Manager Giffen's efficient stock com- pany. As in all the plays which Mr. Giffen has selected for production at his house, this affords wide scope for the scenic art- ist, who never fails to embellish the art- istic work of the members of the company with rare and sumptuous settings. Hobart Bosworth will play the part of John Van Buren, rector of St. Mildred. Ann Cruger, the New York girl, will be impersonated by Miss Minnie Seligman, who ought to much at home in this part. Horace the new character actor, ls cast for Judge Peter Gurney Kno “King of Wall Street,”’ is to be played by Mr. Theodore Hamillt Alec Robinson, the young man with @¢n ambition to be a Napoleon of finance, wiil be represented by Mr. John B.

This has well been said to be the best of Mr. Campbell's plags, as it was his favorite. It tells a story of the South before the war. The story is told poetically and simply, and the characters introduced are those which were familiar to all who traveled up and down the Mis. sissippi or through the South during that period. The company is said to be good: The costuming is all of the period during which the events took place. The important feature of the revival, however, is in the stage settings. The scenery is all new, and on an especially elaborate scale. A noticeable change will be seen in the rear- rangement of the fourth act, giving an ex- terior view of the famous steamer Belle Creole. This is followed by a heavy rain- storm lasting several minutes, produced by the ald of electricity and accompanied by thunder and lightning and wind effects. The plantation scene and that on the famous swamp on Red Devil Island are made much of. The performance to-morrow evening will be for the benefit of Advertising Agent Billy Counnihan. Another of the favorites in the line of the drama, “Darkest Russia,"’ will open Sunday matinee, April 16. Jules Verne’s story of Michael Strogoff, the courier of the Czar, will be told from the stage of the Imperial this week. Liké all of the imaginative Frenchman's works, the action is rapid and the climaxes thril- ling: The characters are well drawn and the story as a whole makes as good a play as it does e book. Lawrence Hanley wiil play the courier and Miss Radcliffe the part of Nadia. Frank Losee is cast as Ivan and Miss Louise Aigen as the mother of Stro- goff. Malcolm William and Gus Weinberg are to be the rival newspaper correspond- ents, O’Brien and Philpot. Both are ex- cellent comedy parts, and serve to brighten what would otherwise be a very somber drama. There will be new scenery for the five acts. The Merry Maidens, a company well known to the regular patrons of the Standard Theater. will be the attraction at Mr. Butler’s temple of art this week. The facile writer of advance matter says, “The Merry Maidens need no booming,” then he proceeds to ‘“‘boom’’ them to the extent of 300 words or more. Some members of the company are: Nellie Hanley, who sings illustrated songs; Hiatt and Pearl, musical team; Brennan and Curran, Irish sketch; Herworth and Stockholm, singing and danc- ing soubrettes, and Sophia Everett, Notes of the Stage. Lew Dockstader is singing a complete new version of Helen Hunt. Anna Held is said to have cleared $4365 by a fortunate speculation in sugar last week. Cissy Loftus returns to vaudeville at the close of the present season’of the “Dan- gerous Maid.”’ Edward 8S. Abeles, the St. Louisan, has retired fram “The Telephone Girl’ after a short engagement. Tony Pastor of New York has been a manager thirty-four years. He celebrated his anniversary last Wednesday. W. T.

Mies Held's season with “The French Maid” will eoon end. Belle Archer. whose tour in Hoyt'’s “A Contented Woman" has been successful, will continue to star in the same play next season. Frederick Warde expects to star next season in elaborate revivals of the claesic drama, supported by a carefully organized company. EK. H. Sethern has in view for next sea~ eon, besides Theo.

This new version of stamped cloth is used for gowns also; a very smart afternoon model in violet cloth has the front of the skirt stamped out in a pattern rising from the hem at either side to about the knees in the center, applique over pale yellow satin, and the design slightly aided with spar- ing embroideries of round gold braid. The bodice is a bolero, the back being quite plain and cut with a point that just passes the waist line, and an excellent fit to the figure being secured, while the front falls slightly open down the center to show a white lace-draped vest, and the sides (just where darts would come) are siashed open to admit the insertion of an applique simi- lar to that on the skirt. The top of the bodice is cut down a few inches to allow the insertion of the guimp or deep collar of the open work cloth laid on yellow to harmonize with the rest of the trimming. Cheap imitations of this pretty cut-out cloth will be here before long; in the mean- time it is new and fairly costly, and much to be recommended. Another novelty—one of those little things that so plainly in- dicate the new gown, trifiing though they be—is the collar of the dress being made with a point under each ear (a trifle behind to be exact) and cut sharply down thence, to both back and front. This ideal foot should be neither large nor smail, but proportioned to the body. Beyond this there Is the arching Instep, the regular gradation of the toes from the first to the fifth, the freedom from Joints and other proturberances, and the exact matching «f one foot with the other. The less tapering foot, like the lees taper- } ing waist, in these modern days, has bepn | considered more beautiful because it better serves the ends of grace and of usfe.uiness, With the foot crowded into a pointed boot the body has an ugly gait and walking be- comes a burden. With the waist unduly con- stricted every movement is stiff and un- graceful, and rational exercise becomes al- most impossible. But this question of the feet and the walst has received so much at- tention in these later years that whatever is said on the subject now is almost a truism, Other characteristics of the human form divine admit of more discussion. The Cau- casian admires one style of beauty, the Malay another. Why should the savage think the dark skin and thick lips of his con- nubial partner more beautiful than the pale and delicate features of the Probably, as more than one critic has sald, because he can understand no other than the coarse native type of which he has been accustomed.

In a general way we all would agree that the size of the eye is an important factor of beauty. Arabian poets compare the eyes of those they admire to the eyes of a gazelle or the deer. Ox-eyed Juno is the true Greek type of beauty. Yet size is a secondary thing, if the aperture between the lids is so wide as to disclose much of the white of the eye. Wincklemann notes that most of the statues of the gods have!large and vauited eyelids, with a pronounced arch, and the arched upper eyelid is always an adjunct of beauty. Italian and Spanish eyes—at least accord- ing to the artists who painted them—were considered most beautiful when somewhat oval ja form, This European oval, however, was less decided than that of some of the Semitic and ancient Aryan rgces. Some Hindu poets speak of an eye so elongated as to reach the ear, and it ie said that there were Orientals who enlarged the slit of the eye with a knife. Elongated eyes do not, however, mean oblique eyes, and it Is the obliqueness of the Chinaman’s eye that to a great extent prevents our seeing beauty in his face. In the matter of color it cannot be said that there Is any standard. Color in itself does not express emotion, atthough on the whole dark eyes are more apt than blue eves to indicate a passionate disposition. Why we congider green or yellow eyes ugly in human be'ngs, though often admired in animals, is hard to understand, except on the theory that has been advanced that they are so unusual as to appear anomal- ous, As to the color of the hair, those who have blonde hair are usually the most seif- satisfied, for the majority of artists have painted their most beautiful women as biondes. Most of the women. too, to whom poets like Petrarch have addressed their songs, are biue-eyed and fair, and one critic has gone so far as to say that Shakspeare has mentioned biack hair but twice. On the other hand, while blonde hair has been the type of ideal beauty, practically the brunette is somewhat ahead tn the race of life, and she is much more apt to be chosen In marriage. Thus in England and Germany pure blondes are constantly be- coming tvarer. One writer who has considered very care- fully the question of beauty as a whole— M. Finck—believes that it has four main sources—romantic lore, iwixture of races, mertal cu'ture and hygiene. Now it is very evident that the individual cannot in dis or her own case control the first two of these conditions. If the parents have been un- congenial, if the family is one of unmixed blood for many generations, the resulting progeny may be homely to an extent that no amount of attention to mental culture or hygiene can modify. Yet sometimes a great deal can be accomplished in these dl- rections. It ts sald that the average dura- tion of iMfe at Geneva in the sixteenth cen- tury was 21.21 years. Now it is about double this age, and as many persons now live to be 70 years of age as formerly lived to be #. TWO PROMINENT CLUB WOMEN OF ST.

ASTER week has been unusually gay 'S this year—even If the elements did conspire against the equanimity of the social spirit. It rained and froze and snowed and thawed and blew and sleeted, and then thawed again, until the patience of the butterfiles became almost exhauated and the tempers of rainy-daysies worn to a frazzle. True, it was clear and blue and bright enough overhead (at intervals), but “unfortunately,” as Mark Twain puts {, “we were not going that way."’ But the weather didn’t affect those of us who ride in carriages, and the rest of us wore our old clothes and didn’t care much if our boots were a disgrace to re- epectability. Such a jong, long winer and the stretch of ugly weather has been a bit trying to the lovers of outdoor amusements, but it has forced the women to realize the com- fort and convenience of rainy day. suits, s0 doubtless there is a providence in it. And that reminds me that the pretty girls tell me they shall wear soft felt hats for a@uting all summer. They did so all last summer at the fashionable resorts, and now we are to encourage the fad, which is certainly thoroughly sensible for many reasons. In the first place, the soft golt hat, the Fedora and the picturesque, wide-brimmed mountain hats, are a hun- dredfold more becoming and comfortable in felt than in straw, and much more dura- ble.

Supper and Card Party. R. AND MRS: HENRY GRIESE- DIECK of 2738 Russell avenue gave # a supper followed by a progressive euchre party Monday night to celebrate their tin wedding. Just 2 guests were asked, and in their honor the house was decorated with .a profusion of spring flowers. The dinner table, which extended through ‘both dining room and one parlor; was laid with covers for 3. In the center was a huge mass of American beauties, while at either end was a flat cluster of. jacquemi- not roses and mignonette. Overhead was suspended a red and green floral design bearing the word ‘‘Ten’’ and the mono- s of host and hostess. Ay each of the ladies’ places was a quaint littietin cup decorated with ribbon and flowers and filled with bon bons, while for the men were tin funnels filled with candy Easter eggs.

HE two charming Fraser. girle— Misses ‘Anne Louise and Roberta—gave an- | other ‘of.their enjoyable. little enter- tainments Friday afternoon at their home, 4079 Washington ‘boulevard. This time it Was a progressive euchré, in honor of their guest, Miss Edith Watkins, who is visiting here from Detroit. Miss Watkins is a strikingly pretty, cultured and witty girl, and I hear that at home she is an immense favorite with emart folk. The Frasers, by the way, are also from out of town, and are as yet somewhat new to society. They came’ from Cincinnati about a year ago to make their home here, and already have made scores of friends in the fashionable set... Both of the Misses Fraser are remarkably talented, Miss Ro- berta, who is the younger, | believe, being a water colorist of mo little ability. The tally cards for the euchre Friday acternoon were her work, and certa:nly they could not have been daintier or more unique. In accordance with the general tone of the decorations, they -were of different shades of pink, in form of Américan Beauty roses paiated on bristol board and tied: with dainty ribbons. During the progress of the game sherbet was served in quaint littl cups covered with a slip of pink tissue paper rosé leaves. Pink bonbons. in ‘Dresden’ bonbennieres stood in the center of each of the nine card tables, while great clusters of bridemaid and Mermet roses decorated the mantel- pieces. o. Four-hand euchre was played until 5 o’clock, when score was counted while the young ladies enjoyed éome delicious re- treshments., The first prize, a tucked stock of rose- satin, clasped by a griffen of rich dull gold, carmed out the pink tints of decorations. The second was a goid Nethersole brace- let. and the third was a handsome cut glass puff box. The consolation prize was a drum filled with bonbons, the box being inscribed, ““Maybe you can beat. this.” One of the most ‘elegant gowns at this affair was won by the guest of honor, Mis’ Watkins. This costume Was peari gray broadcloth, combined with pale yellow and black silk, and trimmed with an exquisite design in applique. The skirt was made with graceful sweep, and was worn with a pale yellow silk petticoat. Miss Roberta Fraser wore a ruffied skirt of black glace silk and velvet rmbbon, with a dainty waist of American Beauty silk and honiten lace. Her sister wore a dainty organdly, trimmed with lace and_ ribton. Mas @rager leaves Monday on a visit with rene in Cincinnati. Among the guests I'riday were: Mersdames— Mesdames— R. K.

The Empire drawing room, in which are hung the superb collection of water-color paintings owned by Mr. Luyties, was deco- rated with vases of long-stemmed Ameri- can Beauties, which contrasted delightfully with the pale green and gold of the hang- ings. In the reception hall was a huge wicker basket filled with tulips, hyacinths and roses and at the end of the room was a dense screen of vines and ferns which concealed the orchestra. The dining room, a handsome apartment finished in hand-carved solid ouk, waa liter- ally filled with flowers—all of a rich red color. The electric lights wore crimson shades, and on the mantel, buffet and side tables were great clusters of red carnations and mignonette. In the center wo7 the table Was a great mass of Easter lilies and Jac- queminot roses, while on the table about thig center piece was a garland of carna- tions and maiden-hair ferns. At one end of the table Misses Mildred Bell and Mathilde Anderson served cafe frappe, while opposite Miss Lily Luyties and Mrs. Herman Luy- ties served chocolate ice. In the upper end of the dining room a quaint little alcove, to be used as a break- fast room, was converted into a bower of roses, wherein presided Misses Stella Brown and Jessie Wright, with a big silver punch bowl. The receiving party included, during early part of the afternoon, Mrs. F Luyties, Mrs. Herman Luyties and Misses Luyties. Mrs, F. A.

All season their friends have vied with each other in entertaining this mot d of bright, pretty girls, and this past week, in partic- ular, has been one continuous round of gayety for them. The most elaborate of the recent entertainments is the luncheon given at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon to 80 young girls, by Mrs. Alanson D. Brown of 4616 Lindel! boulevard, in honor of her lovely daughter, Miss Jane Brown, who is a member of the senior class, M. I.

About the chandelier and side lights were garlands of smilax and white carnations, and on the mantelshelf were vases filled with white roses and Easter lilies. The centra: decoration for the table was of white tulips,’ hyacinths, lilies of the valley and roses, and from the chandelier to the fou? corners of the table green and white rib- bons were festooned.

E Butterfly tells rae that he has been thinking,. in his quietly thoughtful ] way, of a new way to make tally ‘cards for progressive euchre. I don’t sup- pose the Butterty ever played a game of euchre in his little Hfe, but he reads the newspapers and he says that he now knows all a t entertaining at cardé, from the proper gowning of the bostess to the dis- bution of eriace and cherry bounce. His. new echeme is to buy a roll of fine Wallpaper, with a big design in American Reatties, poppies or any old flower, and after canefaily cutting out the larger flow- ers, paste them on a sheet of lightweight bristol board and then cut them out ali over again. Decorate with dainty ribbons matching the flower in color and they are eady for usec. “Re says that the fellows at his club AY ~* - MISS KATHERINE OVERSTREET, of 4153 a have been amusing themselves in the even- ings of late, making artistic mats for pho- tograph frames, out of flowered wallpaper, but think he is drawing it a bit stfong here. Whatever the chappies do’ at their clubs, they certainly do not spend their evenings making fancy work. Union Musical Recital. HE Unio: Musical Club’s piano re- cital yesterday afternoon was es- pecially interesting and enjoyable for me, because little Miss Eleanor Heynen, the club’s youngest member, was down for a group of rather intricate plano composi- tions. Miss Heynen is the pianiste whom Padereweki praised so highly when he was last in St. Louls, and whom Mme. Carreno declared to be nothing less than a genius. Some time ago she was engaged as so0- loist for the Choral Symphony Society, be- fore which she played with immense suc- cess. Yesterday afternoon her brief recital opened with the Liezt “‘Nightingale,”’ composition eminently calculated to display her wonderful precision and flexibility and her -exquisite shading. This was foflowed by the brilliant Chopin Etude (Op. 3, No. 11), which was received with a etorm of enthusiastic applause. Then came beautiful Chopin Nocturne (Op. 27, No. 2), and finally the difficult Ernst ‘‘Valse Ca- price,’’ that bristles with tecTinicalities and requires strength as well as accuracy of touch. Miss Heynen played each of her selections with wonderful taste and breadth of understanding, which was noth- ing short of marvelous in so young a girl. Miss Heynen is at present studying in this city. but in a yvear she will go abroad to finish under the great masters, Beethoven Conservatory Recital. ‘ NOTHBDR event of no little interest tu music-lovers was the recital given at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by the All pupils of Beethoven Conservatory. of the numbers were rendered in su- perb style, and altogether the concert was a great success.
