LO UIS—APRIL 15, 1899 -- --- Democrats Will Banquet at the Coliseum. ——— TWO THOUSAND OF _ THEM. ee eee PREPARATIONS FOR THE LARG- EST FEAST EVER GIVEN. _—- a Col. Bryan, Senator Teller and Mayor Harrison of Chicago to Be the Special Speakers of the Evening. The Missouri dinner! It has just been Planned. The greatest feast in point of numbers present that the world has known in modern times. 7 It is to be given by the Democracy of the imperial State of Missouri in the coliseum at St. Louls on or about May 23. There will be not less than 1500 at table and probably 2000. And those who shail not care to feast may sit and look on from the boxes and tiers of seats and hear the spcaking. Col. W. J. Bryan, Senator Teller and Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago are among the distinguished guests already se- lected. There will be orators from the ends * the country and men of mark in the na- on. Grand, immense, as the enterprise is, the affair will be conducted with simplicity. No liveried servants to stand with ready pottle behind each guest. The earth will not be searched for new and strange edibles to please the taste of man. The dinner will be Democratic in every respect—Jefferson- ian in simplicity. While it will not be a dollar dinner, the cost will not be over $2 per plate, according to the present inten- ticns. i Sam B. Cook, chairman of the Ways and Means 4 ommittee of the National Demo- cratic Committee and chairman of the Mis- souri Siate Democratic Committee, spent Saturday in St. Louis on business chietly concerning the dinner. Harry Hawes, vice- president of the Police Beard, is in imme- diate charge of the preliminaries. The immense undertaking will be begun Monday—that is, Mr. Hawes and his asso- clates yet to be selected will then commence the actual work of buying pots and pans, s0 to speak, in which to cook the togs of good things. Extraordinary preparations will be required to furnish forth the gi- gantic feast. There is no hotel or cafe with sufficient distance of the coliseum to make it practt- eable to trarseport the food after being cooked. It will be ‘necessary to transform a part of the coliseum and Exposition Building into a great kitchen. An army of cooks and helpers will be employed. The dozens of ranges and stoves neces- sary will probably be rented for the oc- casion. he hundreds of pans and other cooking utensils will probably have to be purchased. What will become of these things, useless to the committee after this anne. will be determined later. Th@ immense arena of the Coliseum, where horse shows, bicycle races, circuses and all manner of exhibitions have been held, will be transferred into a banquet hail. The tanbark will be covered with a beard floor. The tables, each seating one hundred, will be arranged in a semi-circle, with the ends on the St. Charles street side. The table at which the toastmaster and the distinguished guest will sit will be placed in the hollow of the semi-circle. The interior of the Coliseum will be hung with pictures of men whom the nation honors. Flags and bunting wil) hide the bareness of the rafters and extra electric lamps will be hung in order to as nearly as possible turn the night tnto day. The dinner was planned by Mr. Hawer and it grew vut of the postponement of the annual Jefferson day banquet of the Jef- ferson Club, of which Mr. Hawes fe presi- dent. Mr. Haw+e conceived the idea of abandoning the club dinner for this year and giving instead, a nationa!] dinner. : The presentation of a silk banner to the Missourl county that showed the greatest Democratic gain in the last election and one to the Congressional district {n which there was the greatest increase in Demo- _s\ votes, — +" made at the dinner ey were to have been prese Jefferson dinner. prea’ an | Sie Mr. Hawes will appoint a committee of Jefferson Club members to take char e of the work of preparing the dinner an the affair will be under the auspices of the Jeffersay Club. The Coliseum is the only building in the city large enough for the purpose. and it will be engaged immediately. ‘ The reason for the uncertainty about the exact date ie that Col. Bryan does not know at this time whether he can be in 8t. Louis May 4%. He will determine when he returns to Chicago from New York. Col. Bryan has signified his willingne-s to at- tend the dinner and the date will be set to suit his convenience 2 HAS AN AMERICAN WIFE The Duke of Arcos Will Be the Span- ish Ambassador at Washington.

Will Assist Gov. Johnson—A Change of Venue From St. Louis Will Be Asked. He sf rs. Samuel Callaway visited the Four Courts Saturday morning and had a brief visit with her son, Frank B. Callaway, who is jn jail under indictement for the murder of h's wife last Monday. The meeting between mother and son was none the less pathetic because no tears and because no loud lamenta- tions were indulged in. The love light shone in Mrs. Callaway’s eyes as she walked through the dingy Four Courts cor- ridors, and as she started down the Iron steps leading into the jail lobby she invol- untarily faltered, knowing that in another moment she would see behind prison bars the form of her son who she loved none the less because of his fearful crime. She walked forward and looked through the narrow wicket. Callaway was expect- ing her and had prepared himself for the ordeal. Mrs. Callaway thrust her gloved hand through the wicket, and for a minute it lingered in the ungloved hand of her son. For a moment no word was uttered. A tear sprang to the mother’s eye, but it was seusned away, and she withdrew her “arma. “Don’t give up hope, my boy,” she said, in a low tone. “Your mother will always Stand by you. Only one side has been told. I know both sides, and have no fear of the final result. When all is told you will gain friends, even from those who now cry for vengeance against you.”’ “I knew you would be true, mother,”’ Callaway said. with more feeling than ne has manifested since his arrest. “I thank you for it. But you must not remain here now. I am not so bad as I have been paint- ed, and I know you know it. Go pow. for your presence here can be only painful to both of us.” Mrs. Callaway turned and walked sadly away. . She would make no statement for the newspapers. She had purposely kept out of sight, and would make no statement until she thought the proper time had arrived. Ts. Callaway is a large woman, and is out ® years old. Her figure is erect and she ié several inches taller than the aver- Her hair is a dark brown and she has dark eyes. Her face is not remark- able for either beauty nor intellectuality, neither is it a bad looking face. Her voice is oS and Saturday it was exceedingly trem- ulous. No means will be spared in the defense of Frank B. Callaway. The morning after the killing Gov. Charles P. Johnson was re- tained in the case. Since then Callaway’s relatives have retained William S. Anthony to work with Gov. Johnson. Mr. Anthony is the attorney who became prominent as a .crimina] lawyer because of the manner in which he conducted the defense in the Campbell Aligaier case recently. Counsel for Callaway say that they will not allow their client to go to trial in St. Louis. Some of the newspapers have print- ed su@h highly colored statements. it is claimed, and Pave so bitterly attacked the defendant, and created such a prejudice against Callaway that it would be impos- rm to secufe unprejudiced juries in this city. “A change of venue will certainly be asked for,”’ said Mr. Anthony, “‘and in view of some utterances of certain newspapers, no court could refuse to grant it. “It must not be supposed that we have no defense We have and will make the defense at the trial. We have no fear : the result before a fair and impartial jury. The public has heard ony one side of the tragedy. There are two sides and ours will be told at the proper time.” FORTY WAITERS ON STRIKE. Grand Restaurant Employes Demand- ed Higher Wages and Refused to Serve Dinner. were shed, About 40 waiters employed at the Grand Restaurant on Sixth street, between Pine and Chestnut streets, walked out at noon Saturday when business was at its height. The cause for the etrike is apparently a demand for higher wages. Just after 12 o'clock, says Manager Wickham, a man whom he had never seen before, came into the restaurant. Mr. Wickham was eat- ing dinner with his wife at the time. The stranger presented a paper which he asked the manager to sign. Mr. Wickham replied that he Was engaged and had no time at that moment to discuss the ques- tions which the stranger had brought up. The man went out, and in two minutes was followed by every walter in the place. The restaurant doore Were then closed and a placard announced to the public that business was temporarily suspended. “We pay our men more than any hotel in St. Louis,”’ said Mr. Wickham. “Our scale is $10 a week to the steady men, 75 cents a day to the dinner men, and $7 a week to the short-watch men. I expect to have a new crew of waiters ready by Sat- urday evening KILLED THREE OVER A TRIFLE Wife, Child and Brother the Victim of a Choctaw Lawyer Who Was Drunk. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

THE BASEBALL SEASON BEGINS: ——_—- » -——__ - Triumphal Procession of the St. Louis Club. STREETS BLACK WITH PEOPLE. ENTHUSIASM GENERAL OVER THE NEW TEAM. Everything Ready for a Great Game Saturday Afternoon With the Cleveland Club at Sports- man’s Park. If the St. Louis Baseball team does not win the pennant this year it will not be for lack of support accorded it by the base- ball enthusiasts. The parade which is to initiate the local baseball season Saturday was set for 9:30 o'clock, but as early as 8 o'clock a large ——_— (f Mf ; , } | ‘if i] any hi) ria CAPT. PAT TEBEAU. crowd surrounded the Southern Hotel, the starting point, which increased in_ size with each succeeding moment. When the procession finally moved, at 9:30, there were fully 5000 people packed on Walnut street, between Broadway and Fourth, shouting themselves black in the face each time a player made his appearance. Inside the hotel there was an air of sup- pressed excitement, The lobby was filled with thirty-third degree fans, i uding many proninent citizens, and al were united mn wishing the new representatives of St. Louis in America’s national game, the best of good luck. Mr. Frank De Haas Robison, with a com- placent smile illumining his countenance, was continually surrounded by men anxious to personally express to the president of the baseball corporation their hopes for a suc- cessful vear. When asked whether he thought the present team would finally ac- complish what no other has done since 1888, win the pennant, Mr. Robison replied: ve really believe that nothing can pre- vent our doing so. Beyond a doubt, St. Louis is the most enthusiastic baseball city in the country and with a team that is capable of playing the game for all tnat is in it, we surely have a winning combina- tion.’’ Mr. Stanley Robison, who sfood close by, was quite positive that, apart from the fin- ish, the game to-day would result in favor of the Browns. “It always did,.”’ said he, “and there is no reason why it should no* to-day.”’ Both teams are in splendid physical con- dition and the Clevelande, according to their captain-manager, the very popular Lave Cross, feel it incumbent upon them- selves to redeem their reputations, which have so.seriously suffered during their so- journ in St. Louis. Cross did not care prognosticate—ali he 6aid was that the team which won would know that it had been to a ball game. At last. after the preliminaries had been who served as a most efficient master of ceremonies, announced that the start would be made. Twenty-five carriages were driven up to the street entrance, where the parade was formed. Mr. Wand led off in a neat little runabout, driving ‘‘Richard Perry.” a trot- ting horse, with a standard record. Then came Bafunno's band, followed by car- riages, in which were the following: First carriage, Messrs. F. De H. Robison, Stanley Robison and E. C. Becker: second, third, fourth and fifth carriages, press rep- resentatives; sixth, seventh, gwighth, ninth and tenth carriages.

CAN'T BRING BACK THE BODIES Work of Returning the Soldier Dead From the Philippines and Cuba Is Stopped. Speeial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 15.—Gen, Otis re- ports that the expedition which left this country two months ago for the Philippines to bring to the United States the dead American soldiers has proved a failure on account of climatic conditions, if being im- possible to embaim the bodies. He recom- mends that no further attempts at disinter- ment be made and the department has so ordered. Tne bodies cannot be returned to country for at least six months, may be deemed advisable to longer. In deference to the protest of Gen.

Rartost With the World’s Fair still more than two years in the future, its effects on business and real estate values are already becom- ing remarkably apparent. On account of the World's Fair a Cin- cinnati firm is coming to St. Louis to man- ufacture automobiles. It purchased Sat- urday afternoon $200,000 worth of property for the purpose. Also on account of the World's Fair the company paid $10,000 and probably $20,000 more for the property than it could have been obtained for four months ago. At that time the property was offered for $10,000 less than was paid for it Saturday and there is little doubt that $20,000 less would have been accepted. The property is the old Haydock Car- riage Factory, occupying the entire front on Papin street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. The lot is 331x140 feet to an alley. The factory is a six-story structure, compara- tively new, and is in excellent condition, With the ground, it cost, when new, $315, - oO. There is $35,000 worth of carriage- making machinery in the building, and the entire plant ts exceptionally well equipped for the uses to which the purchasers will put it. This purpose, as stated, is the manufac- ture of automobiles. The firm is now in business in Cincinnati, making, it is eald, the ordinary carriages. Of the purchase price $0,000 was repre- sented by the property of the firm in Cin- cinnati, which was taken In part pay- ment, The negotiations, which have been in progress for some time, were conducted by N.

The New York parties had written their intention of coming here to see the property, but the Cincinnati firm got ahead of them. Mr. Black will now look for other prop- erty for the New York parties. The earnest money to bind the deal was paid over by Mr. Black Saturday morning. t 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon the con- tracts were signed. TOWNSEND SUCCEEDS STORER.
