It Is Announted in Berlin That the State Department at Washington Strongly Disapproved of the Captain’s Conduct. WASHINGTON, April 2%.--The German Government has entered a formal! protest against the language used by Capt. Cogh- lan of the Raleigh at the Union League Club banquet in New York last Friday night. The protest was lodged with Secretary Hay through the German Ambassador, Herr von Holleben. : Secretary Hay replied that the language appeared to have been used,at a dinner in aciub and so could not be regarded as an official or public utteranre in the sense that would warrant in acting However, the Navy Department was fully competent to take such action as the case seemed to require. With statement the Ambassador was content for the time at least and wilt doubtless await a reasonable length of time upon the Navy Depariment. There are semi-official intimations that the Ambaseador will not £0 much concern himse!f with the course of Capt. Coghlan as with the course of the United States in dealing with Coghlan. The German Ambassador stated that the poem recited by Capt. Coghlan was “Too nasty to be noticed.”’ It is eaid that Capt.

WATERLOO, Io., April 24.—The body of Mrs. Henry Lemper was found to-day in Ce- dar River almost in the heart of the city. The woman disappeared about six weeks ago. The body has been in plain sight from a thoroughfare over which hundreds of people pass daily. It was supposed to be a bundle of old rags and smal!) boys had amused themselves for days throwing stones at it as a target. The body was thus dislodged.

Mayor Ziegenhein Says There as Plenty of Time to Make Arrange- ments on Behalf of St. Louis. The United States cruiser Nashville which fired the first shot in the Spanish war, is on her way up the Mississippi to 8°. Louis. Everywhere the gallant little war vessel being greeted with the greatest enthusiasm. At the small towns where no stops are made cannon are fired and the people cheer as the American fighter slowly steams by under the guidance of the steady hand and clear eye of Pilot Bryan. A royal welcome was hers at Natchez, Miss. A special telegram to the Post-Dis- patch Monday, says: “The Nashville cast anchor in the Natchez harbor at 8 o'clock Sunday night, and was Teceived with a salvo of artillery, the todting of whistles, and by a committee of citizens, wno board- ed her. Some of the officers came ashore to partake of the city’s hospitality. The programme for Monday embraced a hack ride over the city at ll a. m., a luncheon at the Peckiss Ciub at 1:30 p. m., and a re- ception at the same place at night. ‘Tues- day morning the vessel weighs anchor. The officers of the Nashville are delighted with their treatment along the route.” As yet no programme of entertainment has been mapped out here. Mayor Ziegenhein is not in-a hurry to ar- range a reception for the officers and crew. He acknowledges that he has done nothing, and intimates that ae the city’s chief execu- tive he will take no action. “What is the hurry?” He asked, rather impatiently, Monday. ‘“There is plenty of time. The boat is not due here until May l2 and we can take our time. I expect the river men and the Merchant's Exchange Will make all arrangements for the crew's reception and entertainment while here.”’ The Mayor's patriotic declaration some weeks ago that Dewey Day was to be fit- tingly celebrated seems te have been for- gotten. When asked to raise a flag on Feb. 15, in memory of the Maine, he declared that he would nof, ‘but weuld appropriately observe Dewey Day.

LOUIS. WIDE TERRITORIES SUBMERGED IN THE WEST. Notice From Dr. Hyatt That the Dan- ger Line Will Be Passed: in This City During the Week. Problem by Dr. Dick Hyatt, weather king: If the Mississippi River rises six feet in 48 hours how much time will be required to reach a stage where the cruiser Nashville may steam over the heads of the six-story buildings on Broadway and drop anchor off the dome of the Federal building, with her port holes on a line with the weather office windows? The doctor has furnished the provocation for the problem or at least the basis for a high water hypothesis. His majesty re- ports the river at 23 feet 6 inches Monday morning, which ie six feet and six inches above what it was Saturday morning. Another jump like this will put’ water in ‘Main street cellars and depregiate the value of East St. Louis real estate. Two or three jumps of this kind and—well, there won't be any East St. Louis and things east of Broadway wiil be only a memory. A trend of thought similar to this in extravagance is what constructed King Hyatt'’s problem. While the king’s evident desire to have one of his Uncle Sam's warships anchor e leeward of his workshop will hardly realized the chances for a siege of real high water at St. Louis are most excellent. The Missouri is on a rip-roaring rampage froin it’s unknown source in the Rocky Mountaing to the place where it joins the Mississippi in the unsatisfactory way which will always leave in dispute the name of the blended streams that flow from that FOR GEORG - on -~ — | —_— Slayer of Cranford Was Horribly Mutilated While Alive and Then Put to Death on a Slow Fire While Chained to a Tree. 2.

Two -others are known to have fallen-victims to mobs, the first being Elijah Strickland, ‘the alleged accomplice of Hose in. the murder of Alfred Cranford.

The body of Strickland «this swings from a tree about a mile from Pal- metto town limits. The negro was not burned as was Hose, but the same shock- ing mutilation of his body was inflicted by the frenzied mob while he strangled at the end of its rope. His fingers were cut off, one by one, his nose was cut from his face. his ears were severed and he suffered the same other sickening torture to which the first victim was subjected.

MUTILATED BEFORE BURNED, - |The Killing’ of Hose Too Shocking to Be Wholly Described. ' NEWMAN, Ga., April 4.—Sam Hose, the Slayer of-farmer Alfred Cranford, Was yesterday afternoon mutilated while alive and burned to death while chained to a) tree. His body was cut to bits and is being fcarried around to-day as disgusting sou-. venirs of probably the most revolting deed | of a mob ever committed in a civilised” community. Hose had been hunted ten days by mobs — and hounds all over North Georgia, and one | negro thought to have been the man” sought, was shot to death in a swamp a few days ago and the news of Hose's death ° was sent out. Yesterday, however, Hoge was captured by two brothers named . Jones, at his mother’s home not far from!

Hose was burned to death after mutila- tion by a mob of 3000 near Newman yester- day afternoon. He was captured near Griffin after a search of 1) days, and con- fessed to the murder of his employer, Alfred Cranford with an ax and the out- rage of ‘Mrs. Cranford. At Newman the mob took him from the train and after parading him through the town removed him to the outéirts, chained him to @ tree. cut off his fingers, ears and other portions of his body, poured kerosene on him, placed wood about him and slowly roasted him to death. Hose said that .Strickland, who point to the Gulf. But at present the argument is one- , sided and the river is called the Mississippi and it is admitted that the Missouri empties into the Mississippi, which being the case the Mississippi is receiving a gfeat volume of..water, fyom.her chief tfibutary.and a steady local risé is the result. The Missouri is in the neighborhood of the danger line from the Mississipp? to Omaha. This danger line is the depth of water that gives a river sifficient nerve to break down levees, mop ap mle towns and convert itselfi into an inland sea, with a mighty strong current. he danger line at St. TWouis is ™ feet.

At the annual convention of the turners of the St. ‘Louis ‘District, held at Centralia, Ill., Saturday an attempt was made to have action taken as radical] as that taken by the Chicago Germans relative to the slight friction which has occurred between Germany and the United States.

The convention decided that it was sufficient and refused to consider the others, which went into detalles, Somebody tried to read a clipping from a Chicago paper, but permission was re» fused. The tone of the discussion was that the turners were Americans first and had the game concern as other citizens in the relations between the two countries. The sentiment was that there should be no resentment shown unless the German- Americans as a Class should be assailed. The resolution adopted denounced the ac- cusations made against Germany by “a certain class of Anglo-American news.- papers,”” and the attempts to stir up quarrels, and praised the conservativo press for restraining this tendency.

Out of the carriage stepped a young man, who was followed by a plump and well-formed ‘woman, clad in a severely simple, but rich black gown. “That's Minnie Seligman,” Judge Hanley's clerks. “I know it.”” said the Judge. ‘She used to support my cousin Lawrence at the Im- perial ‘Theater, and is now leading lady at the and.”’ Miss Seligman entered the office and sat down.

Before the young lawyer could speak Miss Seligman had the ear of the court. ‘Judge,’ she said, I am ready for this case to be tried. I don’t want it deferred, for I wish to leave St. Louis for New York on May 6 I was surprised when I heard that the suit had geen brought, but now that it has, I want to have it tried and dis- posed of.”’ Miss Seligman then went on to say that the claim made against her by Mlle. Sobra was for costumes made years ago when she— Miss Seligman—was a struggling young actress striving to get a foot-hold on the ladder of fame. Mile. Soubra had seemed interested in her and provided her with costumes, and ‘it never entered Miss Seligman’s mind that there was a mercenary element to the dressmaker's interest. Squire Hanley enjoyed Miss Seligman’s discourse and let her have her talk out, then he said he would continue the case till the afternoon of May 4. Miss Seligman smiled on the Court, bub- bled a few words of thanks, and departed. Mile. Sobra is a Chicago dressmaker.

PHILADELPHIA, April 24.—The gigan- tic counterfeiting conspiracy is assuming alarming proportions, and the latest devel- opments /have stirred up the wholesaie to- bacco trade from one end of the country to the other. Secret Service Agent Wilk‘e and his men are now after conspirators who have robbed the Government of $400,000 by counterfeiting revenue stamps. From every large city reports have been received of the seizure of thousands of cigars in boxes bearing counterfeit tax stamps, which were a part of the output of “Fac- tory 3741,"" that being the official designa- tion of the establishment operated by Will- lam M. Jacobs, who is now under arrest in this city. Philadelphia cigar dealers are heavy losers. Aiready 125,000 cigars packed by Jacobs and bearing bogus oa have been confiscated in this city, and the Secret Service agents Ciaim to be only at the be- ginning of their work. Jacobs has been able to undersell the wholesale market by using the counterfeit stamps, and in doing so employed a great many high-sounding names on his prod- ucts. He employed 600 hands at his fac- tory in Lancaster, and as the counterfeit- ing has been going on for some time, the output must necessar'‘ly have been enor- mous. An approximate estimate of the amount of money secured by the bogus ge 4 conspiracy places it at nearly $500,- 000. he revenue officers here say Collect- ors in different cities have so far confis- cated 700.000 cigars of Jacobs’ manufact- ure in boxes bearing counterfeit stamps. The Federal officers are reticent about their movements, but several more im- portant arrests are expected soon. It is expected that ex-Ass‘stant Djstrict Attor- ney Harvey K.

Fifty Thousand Cigars Bearing Bogus Revenue Stamps. Over 50,000 cigars made at.the Jacobs fac- tory in Lancaster, Pa., were confiscated Dy revenue officers in St. Louis Sunday. So far no arrests have been made, as it was found the dealers were innocent vic- tims, being unaware that the goods were labeled with bogue reveniie stamps. The invest'gation Is in charge of Internal Revenue Collector Grenner, who put 11 deputies to work on the case They are under the immediate supervigion of T. Donnell, chief of the Secret Service Bureau at Omaha. Though the inquiry has only been in pro- ress here since Saturday. enough has been earned to warrant the belief that the swin- die has attainéd large proportions in St. Louis. ' There are thov6éands of cigar stores, in addftion to the big jobbing houses in the city, and to thoroughly inspect them ail will, is said, require several weeks’ time. It is almost impossible, the Governmnt authorities say, for other than an exper- jenced eye to detect the imitation revenue stamps. The design is faultless, although there is a slight defect in the engraving. William M. Jacobs, who is under arrest at Lancaster, charged with counterfeiting the stamps, employed 0 hands at his factory. His traveling salesmen are said to have sold the cigars in every city of impomance throughout the United States. In discussing the subject Monday. Mr. Grenner said: ‘‘It is the most collossal fraud practiced on the Government in years. I believe, however, that few, if any, dealers are implicated in it. They bought the ci- gars because they were cheap and of high- grade. They were sold in job lots at various yrices. A great quantity was disposed of at per 1000 and then retailed for 5 cents a piece. “One of the brands was La Rosa, which has been extensively sold iff the West. ‘“"There are many others of high sounding names, which we deem it advisable not to mention for the present. While the dealers may not be prosecuted, since they were innocent purchasers, they will suffer heavy losses. In some instances the raid have materially depleted the dedl- ers’ stock, but we can’t help that. There are a number who will lose hundreds of dollars by their transactions with the Ja- cobs’ concern. “How long the country has been flooded with the svourious revenue stamps has not been determined. I judge enormous profits have been realizd by Jacobs on the clever scheme.”’ é Gen. W. H. Powell, Internal Revenue Collector in the Bast St. Louls District, has ordered a thorough overhauling of al] cigar stocks tn Southern IIlinols and the confiscation of all goods manufactured by William Jacobs of Lancaster, Pa., bearing counterfelt stamps. Deputy Collector CMarles Rogers found a 1000 jot of the Jacob's cigars, ‘‘Romantic’”’ brand, in stock in Henry Albrecht's place on Broadway Monday morning. The lot was duly confiscated by the deputy. Albrecht says he bought the cigars from a St. Louis firm. “We will have no trouble in rounding up Jacob's agents in this section of the coun- try,’ sald Deputy Rogers. ‘‘The Govern- ment Secret rvice men are at work on the case here, and we expect to be tn charge of allof the Jacob's output In East Bt.

Wadlow, counsel for the plain- tiff, sa.d: ‘‘May it please your honor, we wish to take certain depositions in Ch:.cago; therefore we ask that this case be con- tinued for a few weeks.”’ The judge looked at the young man with Mies Seligman, he evidently being her coun- sel. Before the young lawyer could speak Miss Seligman had the ear of the court. ‘““Judge,’’ she said, ** I am ready for this case to be tried. I don’t want it deferred, for I wish to leave St. Louis for New York on May 6 I was surprised when I heard that the suit had been brought, but now that it has, I want to have it tried and dis- posed of.’’ Miss Seligman then went on to say that the claim made against her by Mile. Sobra was for costumes made years ago when she— Miss Seligman—was a struggling young actress striving to get a foot-hold on the ladder of fame. ‘Mile. Soubra had seemed interested in her and provided her with costumes, and iit never entered Miss Seligman's mind that there was a mercenar element to the dressmaker’'s interest. Squire Hanley enjoyed Miss Seligman’s discourse and let her have her talk out, then he said. he would continue the case till the afternoon of May 4. Miss Seligman smiled on the Court, bub- bled a few words of thanks, and departed. Mile. Sobra is a Chicago dressmaker. The account on which she is suing Miss Selig- man is for $379. and was made in July and August, 1888.

Corner Stone Laid With Impressive Ceremony Sunday. The cornerstone of the St. Anthony Hospital, which the Franciscan Sisters will build at the corner of Grand avenue and Chippewa street, was laid Sunday after- noon.

Peter Madison fought with the Second Louisiana Regiment with distinguished valor in Cuba, but he was no match for two St. Louis colored amazons with whom he met Sunday. | Madison arrived in St. Louis Thursday from New Orleans. In his inside vest pocket he carried his discharge papers, five $10 gold pieces, a $20 bill and some change. Madison took a walk ‘Sunday afternoon and was caught in an April shower at Feourth and Poplar streets. ,A colored woman was standing in a doorway and invited the ex-soldier in out of the rain.

POST-DISPATCH FOR THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS HAS CARRIED 24* More Paid Locaf Advertising THAN BOTH THE OTHER EVENING PAPERS COMBINED. WHY? BECAUSE IT IS THE SHOPPER'S RECOGNIZED GUIDE. & FINISH THE WORK Saturday night's mass meeting demonstrated beyond ques- tion the earnest determination of the St. Louis people to carry the World's Fair through to success. The voices of St. Louisans are supported by their purses. But while there is every reason to be satisfied with the response of the people at the first mass meeting and with the reports of progress the preliminary work is not yet com- pleted. The quota of St. Louis stock has not been taken up. Witain the next week the full $5,000,000 must be subscribed. Those who have subscribed have done well. Let those who Compared with their respective records of a year ago, two St. Louis Sunday newspapers showed increases in the vol- ume of local commercial advertising yesterday. They were the Sunday Post-Dispatch and the Sunday |Globe-Demo- crat. The gain made by the Sunday Post-Dispatch was five times greater’ than the gain made by the Sunday Globe- Democrat. The Republic lost seven columns of ‘this class of local business. A fourth English Sunday paper lost in columns of local commercial 175 per cent. The Sunday Post-Dispatch, in addition to this, yesterday printed 40 columns of paid “Wants,” the business from the homes—twice more than all others (except the Globe- Demucrat) combined. This great growth is explained in two words—Circula- tion—Results. : The local advertisers and the home advertisers have come to recognize the fact that the Sunday Post-Dispatch each Sunday has a paid circulation in the city of St. Louis and suburbs approximately equal to that of any other two Sunday papers combined. Its circulation claims, which are submitted to any test that those interested may see fit to apply, are: First--The greatest Sunday circulation in the city and suburbs, approximating that of the Sunday Globe-Democrat and the Sunday Republic combined. Second—The greatest total Sunday .circulation west of the Mississippi River—without exception. The Post-Dispatch remarks: “‘The New York Legislature will not investigate anything that is Republican.” Well, the Mis- sour! Legislature would not investigate anything that was Demo- cratic. So, there you ere.—Springfield Republican. But the Missouri Legislature did investigate pomething Democratic, and the investigation of both parties should be continued with the utmost thoroughness. Let us have the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. —- — — The resolution of the new women of a French arondisse- ment that one of their number should not be carried to the grave by masculine pallbearers started a riot, but the women won and the “he” pallbearers were driven off.

The ruin of a prehistoric city in Arkansas, an account of which is printed in the Sunday Post-Dispatch is only one of mary which have been encountered in America. — This is a field of research which deserves more attention from Americen archeologists than has been given it. In Mexico, Centrel America and Perw are remains of prehistoric civilization of high rank and considerable refinement. With the exercise of skill and ingenuity we might expect results from systematic exploration equal in interest to those which have rewarded the Assyriologists and Egyptologists. Nobody knows where civilization first arose. Many evi- Gencee point to the American tropics as the first abode of an ordered human life. We ought to learn more about the subject. Capt. Coghlan’s tongue is as ready as his sword, but he Peally cannot speak for the whole United States. ant, Ai ———— a CORRUPTION AND PUBLICITY. The réport of the Pennsylvania Legislative Committee ap- pointed to investigate bribery charges recommends criminal prosecution of nine persons whom it finds to have been guilty of this offense. It is hard to destroy bossism, but some progress is made by such searching investigations. The Lexow Committee in New: York, the Major Committee in St. Louis, the Mazet in- quiry into the sources of Tammany’s power in New York and this Pennsylvania movement, all go to show what can be done to expose rascality and enlighten the people if not punish the rascals. Every such exposure is one step gained. Corruption can- not leng survive publicity.

They were absolutely modern, and ehe had very little in common with them, Since her. husband’s death she had lived and almost alone in a country — gardening, studying, working for the poor. When at last she had made up her mind to accept the invitation of a cou- sin of her husband's, the effort had been painful and depressing. She had grown shyer and more silent in those years of quietude. “My dear, she is rian’ was the verdict of the live Noriedge, ae she discussed Mrs. friend. gm on thie October afternoon stariding alone in the fleeting sunshine an among the falling leaves, Mrs. Chesne felt young, triumphant and absolutely indiffer- ent to the opinions of every living soul ex- cepting those of the person whose advent ew awaiting. orrhe ‘name of Gen.

But she had remained firm, and he had gone auee in bitterness of spirit. Now, to- ay, she felt sure he was coming here for her, and her alone, and she was joyfully waiting.

The good start the locals have made has led the Eastern magnates to believe that the St. Louls team has a fair chance for the "0 nant. The quality of the local team will be bet- ter known after their first Eastern trip. It is believed that if they can defeat ‘Boston they will find it an easy task to win over the other Eastern teams. At present the “‘Beaneaters” are playing toe /sregtent game of ball in the history of that club and the team that can beat — will come very near landihig the pen- nant. The fans are alrealy comparing the 8t. Louls and Boston teameé, and it muet be ad- mitted that in thelr make-up one does not to have mucho advantage over the other.

Tenn f them all beaten tn the fleld line, but in. head work and beau hae the edge on him. Chiida, who guards second, is a wond-r- ful fielder, and a steady batter, and in this pos wey Louls undoubtedly has the edge ston. McKean, at short, ranks with the best in that position, and is near the top in the Datting averages. He, is not ag fast a man as Long of the Bostons, but he is a deal surer and heavier batsman. fallace is the premier third baseman of the country. For many years Collins, who covers third for Boston, has been looked on as a wonder, but the great work of Wal- ace last year has put him to the front, and @ is considered the equal if not the supert- or of any third baseman in the League. At this point Boeton has certainly no advan- @ over St. Louls. ‘ . Louls’ outfield includes Burkett, Blake, Stenzel and Heidrick, and Boston's, Duffy, Hamilton and Stahl. Those uho know the men can size them up as they pleate and draw their own con- conclusions, ere are few greater players than Duffy an yarn being a great batsman, flelder an aserunner, e is a grand captain, but no better at that than the man who fills that place for St. Louls.

GAME JACK MOFFAT HARRY GILMORE OFFERS TO BACK HIM AGAINST RYAN. CREEDON AGAIN IN THE SWIM. —— If He Defeats Joe Walcott Tuesday Night He Will Challenge the Syracuse Lad and Choynski. Jack Moffat, who is to’ meet Frank Purcell before the West End Club on Wednesday night may be matched to fight Tommy Ryan of Syracuse. Just after the Ryan and Stift match at Davenport, Ryan was bragging about his boxing ability and the number of eyes he had closed. Harry Gilmore, the once famous lIight- weight and trainer of Moffat, said to Ryan: “You never closed more than I did.”’ “No; but I can beat any of your pupils,” replied Ryan. “Oh, I don’t know. Moffat will fight you. Is that right, Jack?’ “Yes, I'd just as soon,”’ said Moffat. “He's proce big at that,”’ said Ryan. ‘I'm fighting ‘round 145 and here I give away weght to Stift. You know yourself I'd have got Stift if those lights hadn't gone down in that round.’’ “Those are oe. lights. When the lights go out in Chicago they stay. out,” answered Gilmore, referring to the Tatter- sall's happening. And so the controversy ended But later in the evening there was more talk of a match between Ryan and Mof- fat, and one may yet be arranged. Moffat does not look nearly as big and formidable a customer as Purcell, the man he is to meet at the West End Club on Wednesday night, but he is a fast and ame boxer. and the money of the know- ng ones will be behind him. Purcell, all the same, appears brimful of confidence, and talks as though it was all over but the shouting. Gimore will be here with Moffat. and those two and Sam Poole, Mof- fat’s manager, and George Siler, the fa- mous referee, are expected here some time Monday. A wire from New York says that Dan Creedon, who is scheduled to fight Joe Walcott 25 rounds in the Lenox Tuesday night, is anxious to meet Tommy Ryan of Syracuse or Joe Choynski early in June, in the event of his Comeaees Walcott. Creedon says he is in much better form now than he has been for two years, and surely will beat Walcott. Tom O'Rourke, however, has bet $1000 on his black protege, and is willing to bet that much more that Walcott will win.

Kid Eagan, W. A. Brady's representative, is now at Asbury Park arranging for the erection of a new handball court. The old court adjoining the barn, which was used by the cham- ion, has been destroyed. Jeffries, like orbett, believes handball is necessary. When the Californian arrives at his quar- ters he will be under the care of Jim Daly and Billy Delaney, who developed Corbett, and prepared him for all his big fights. Tommy Ryan, the 154-pound champion, will also show the big bollermaker a few things about the boxing game. MISSOURI WHIST ASSOCIATION. In Its Tournament St. Louisans Came Out With Leading Honors.

F.— and a gold watch and chain valued at $100 were stolen from the Benders’ bedroom. Mrs. Bender was awakened just as the robber had opened the trunk in which she had placed her money. The intruder aimed a pistol at her and ordered her to remain silent. She feared even to arouse ‘her nus- band, who slept beside her. As soon as the robber left, which was not until he had leisurely ransacked al) the drawers and tables in the room, Mrs. Bender summoned the police. Then she remembered that Miss ®Bar- ringer returned home just at the time of the robbery and was not at all excited when told of it. Mrs. Bender became suspicious and the following day she requesses a Barringer to vacate her room. aying her rent the young woman MAE | Bender a peculiarly plugged silver dollar which Mrs. Bender p ims to have recog- nized as one she received from a grocer the previous’ day and was among the_ stolen money. Mrs. Bender at once notified the police and Detectives Storer and Dewar arrested Miss Barringer. An attesnpt was made to connect a male friend of Miss Barringer with the affair but a warrant was refused as Mrs. Bender was unable to identify him. The _ police claim that he is the man who entered the house and that he was admitted by Miss Barringer. RETURN TO PILGRIM CHURCH. It Is Rumored Central Congregation | 4 Will Unite With Its Parent.

Men who were abso- lutely known to the police to be burglars and safe-blowers have beer arrested, lit- erally weighted down with tools to break into houses or blow safes. The fact that the police were active enough to arrest the culprits before they had committed the burglary prevented the burglar from re- ceiving the punishment tnat should have been his. ‘As there was no burglary proven nor no attempted burgilary, the police court was the only court in which a prose- cution, could be brought. And in this court the greatest charge that could be preferred was idling, and a conviction on this charge carried with it only a six month's Work- house sentence.

A desire was expressed that the intention ecret. Oo the litter expressed condemnation for the Colonel and the other members of the company, who procured their through a pull, and stated that under no circumstances Would the boys who went to Cuba and had all the hardships and none f the glory of war march with those who durned Took when these hardships were to be faced. There are a number of ex-members of the company in Belleville who were hon- orably discharged because of ill-health. It is presumed that the resentment expressed in the letter does not extend to these. Another ietter declares that after the company is mustered out, on May 2,-the men will under no circumstances execute another command of Capt.. Ferdinand J. Schrader or Lieut. George Andel. Capt. Schrader was commissioned to suc- ceed Capt. Rogers, who resigned because of ' sonville. Saigo ae a A trouble with his euperior officers at : lie seemed not to be popular with the men. He is a strict disciplinarian and his friends say this is the only reason. Ljeut. Andell ia in bad favor because his father. Col. Andell, recommended him after he had left‘ the choice to the company, and they had chosen Kent Koerner. Elalborate preparations for the reception of the soldiers early in May have been made and everybody in Belleville will hope, that if the company has reached such 4 de- termination, it will be reconsidered, so that | any | marred by disposition on who have the reception may. not be unpleasantness. here is a the part of the business men, heard of the letters, paratione for the reception until they know whether the boys are golng to “act up The company will be mustered out Augusta on May 2. It is probable it will reach home by the 6th of the month. The plans for the reception Include a wel- : coming demonstration, parade and speeches on their arrival, and a banquet and bali to be given by the Woman's Rellef Corps at Liederkranz Hall at night.

(Instruments used by cracksmen piac ed in position by the Chief of the De- tective Bureau and sketched by a Post- Dispatch artist.) er, a month ago, gave an illustration of the necessity of the passage of Chief Des- mond’s bill. These two safe-blowers had been released discharges | from the Kansas penitentiary only a few days previously. One of the men had served his term of imprisonment for safe- blowing. When arrested the men had a complete safe-blower’s outfit. They were armed with two large revolvers and their belts filled with cartridges. They had dy- namite in a sufficient quantity to blow up Union Station. There were powder, fuses vercussion caps, blow pipes, drills and Simmons. If Chief Desmond's bill were a law these men could have, been prosecuted fn the criminal courts here and s0 strong a case made against them that the Chief is con- fident a jury would have administered the severest penalty—10 years in the peniten- tlary. As it waa, the Police Court was Ja K- to hold off in the pre- | at! the only court tn which they could be prosecuted. For that reason they were turned over to a sheriff of a county out in the State where it was suspected they had attempted a burglary. All of the police officials are greatly in- terested in the passage of Chief Desmond’s bill and the announcement of its passage will be hailed with delight by all save the law-~-breakers. Burglary and safe blowing has now be- come so fine an art that the stoutest locks and the most approved burglar proof safes | offer but slight resistance to the well- equipped safe blower. Chief Desmond has in his possession a safe blowing outfit taken from Frank Loire, who on his pleas of guilty is serving a term in the Missouri penitentiary on the charge of burglary. : The most ingenious device of this outfit is a combination drill. It is made of the finest steel and copper. A clasp fits over the combination to a safe and is held firmly _in position by four thumb @crews. A pow- erful drill is fastened on a lever that can be fixed at any point within a radius of a |foot from the combination. A hole can be drilled in the safe door and the bar that ‘connects the combination with the lock is destroyed, Then the bolts fall and the door can be easily opened. This same device can be used to cut out the lock of a heavy door by eimply encircling the entire lock. Be. sides this the chief has a full set of jim- mies, keys and everything the burglar needs in his nefarious business. SS ~ BUY THE CENUINE SYRUP OF FIGS «+ MANUFACTURED BF ...

The preparations are practically completed and 180 real estate agents with invited uests will sit down Monday night at the *lanters’ Hotel to an annual banquet which will surpass in importance ary that has been held in St. Louls. The invited guests include the 27 members of the Senate and House who represent St. Louie in the State Legislature, Hon. D. R.

The gree will begin to arrive at 6:3 p. m., and by 7 o’clock they will be geated. The dinner will have &x courses, with choice wines.

Sans Gene” is a great play, There is a man in St. Louls who has seen |t many times, first with Rejane in the title role, then with Katherine Kidder, and finally, yesterday, with Minnie Radcliffe, and after every performance he has gone home with a great admiration in his heart for Victor- len Sardou, the man who writes with a dissecting knife instead of a pen. The per- formance by the Imperial Stock Company yesterday was not ideal, bu it was effect- ive. It made the people laugh or cry ac- cordingly as individual temperaments re- spond when the heart is touched, and it pieased the audience so well that some of those present did much to spoil the enjoy- ment of the others. The applause after every telling sentence uttered by Mise Rad- cliffe, was so fervid that she was forced several times to pause and wait for silence in order that what she yet had to say might be heard. It was not well timed, nor well mannered applause and it was annoying to persons who wished to enjoy all of the play, but it was so spontaneous that one couid hardly find heart to be angry with even the laughing jackass in the parquet circle whose cackle made it impossible to hear much that was said by the players. And, to repeat, it was not an ideal shetecéeadne —the best company on earth could not have made it so with only one week in which to rehearse in, but it was enjoy- able. Miss Radcliffe was at her best in the reception scene, where, stung beyond endurance by the taunts of the Emperor's Sisters, she tells of her career as a Vivan- dierré and gives the haughty sistens a few home thrusts. In her interview with Na- poleon she did good work, too. Mr. Wil)- jams made an admirable Lefebre, and Mr. Hanley was at his best in the role of the Austrian officer who loves the Empress Mr. Hugh Ford as the man who knows all things and tells nothing made a strong impression. The Napoleon of Mr. Lyons was originah If Napoleon could have been there he would have admitted as much Manager Giffen, of the Grand Opera House, has given uS &@ production of *‘Men and Women’’ more sumptuous than that in which the Empire Theater Stock Company introduced the strong old play ten years or so ago. The setting of the second act is a marvel of richness and g00d taste. and the others are in keeping with it. ' ‘The costumes worn by Miss Seligman. Miss Scott, Miss Closser and Miss Reimer are creations calculated to throw a woman into ecstacies. And speaking of costumes, young Mr. Maher’s draper has done well by him also. He sports a fawn colored Prince Albert coat that shames anything that Robison ever wore as Bertie the Lamb The performance last night was uniformly good. Miss Seligman was very strong in the are act, thought her voice opening sentence came “as glass darkly.”’ no Miss Seligman is such a charming actress that it is not pleasant to point out even a small flaw in her work, but she really does make the soft pedal work overtime when she is speaking. The best work in ‘“Men and Women,” to the writer’s mind, was done by Mr. Hamilton and Miss Closser as Israel Cohen and Mrs. Kate Delafield respectively. The other members of the caste did good work, but Mr. Hamilton and Miss Closser seemed to have the best fits. Minnie Seligman has agreed to withdraw her sult against the Imperial Theater for breach of contMet, and in consideration of the withdrawal will be given a benefit at the Imperial, May 3. Miss Seligman sued for about $2000, the sum she would have received over and above her earnings as leading woman of the Grand Opera House stock company if she had been retained at the Imperial till the close of the season. Jannopoulo & Gumpertz, not wishing to carry a lawsuit into the summer season. made Miss Seligman a proposition Sunday and she accepted it. Miss Seligman is go- ing into vaudeville In a few weeks. There will be a season of benefits at the Imperial during the next two weeks. Man- ager Gumpertz is first on the list. Next Sunday afternoon and evening the perform- ances will be for his benefit. ‘Faust’ will be presented, with vaudeville between acts. Mr. Lyons will carry the role of Martha, and is expected to make it very humorous. Lawrence Hanley’s friends will rally to his support next Monday night. “‘Virginius”’ will be the bill. and with iMr. Hanley in the title role and Mis Radcliffe as Vir- ginia, an poereee Bet ormance is antici!- ated. Malcolm ‘illams’ inning comes May 2. There will be scenes from “Mme. Sans Gene” “Camille” and a vaude- ville bill. On May 3 Miss Radcliffe will be the beneficiary of a performance con- sisting of the balcony scene from ‘“‘Romeo and Juliet,” by Mr. Hanley and Mies Rad- cliffe and a sketch by Johbh B. Maher and Grayce Scott of the Grand Opera House company. The next benefit will be Miss Seligman's. and Gus Weinberg will get his on May 10.
