So tiny Were the fragments that the police were unable to put them to- ether and read the message that may ave caused the death of the man on the nch. . But this they sng from the little straps of white: They were the remnants of a sheet of fine linen stationery, and the chirography they bore was of a wo- man's making. The man on the bench had evidently read a missive from a woman in his last moments and then had torn the thing to bits. Cassetty’s body was identified atthe Morgue by Will Tamblyn, Speaker of the House of Delegates, “and Dr. E. Chance!l- lor, both of whom were intimate friends of Cassetty. Neither of them knew his ad- dress. These gentlemen were greatly shocked by the discovery of their friend's tragic death. The discovery came about in a pe- cullar manner which accentuated the sit- uation. Mr. Tamblyn and Dr. Chancellor chanced to meet at the City Hall at about 9 o'clock a. m. Each asked the other about their mutual friend, Cassetty. Mr. Tam- biyn had not seen him for two weeks. Dr. Chancellor said he and Cassetty had taken luncheon together on Sunday before last and that he had not seen their friend since that occasion. Mr. Tamblyn expressed some fear about the missing friend's welfare. Both he and the doctor were greatly surprised and not a little worried that neither of them had heard from Cassetty for more than a week. They discussed his probable whereabouts and left the City Hall together, directing their stepe seemingly by intuition south on Twelfth street. which direction, taken from the City Hall, leads to the public dead house. Neither suggested to the other where they were going unless it was in communion by their sub-conscious selves. When they arrived in front of the little square building the doors were wide open as is the case when an unfortunate, whose name is not known, is there for public in- epection and identification. The two friends went in. A plece of note paper pasted on the glass screen bore this legend: ‘This man found dead in Forest Park. If any- body knows him, please communicate with the Morgue superintendent.”’ The “‘man” was their friend, Cassetty. They found him where they had uncon- sciously sovght him. Mr. Tamblyn telegraphed W. M. Caseetty of Nashville, a brother of the dead man. who is a millionaire iron miner of the It is expected that the brother will from Nashville for St. Louis at in the water that remained depart once. Mr. Tamblyn and Dr. Chancellor said their friend had been in poor health for sev- eral months and that he had not been en- | @aged in active work for about that length of time, on account of the state of his health. He was interested in psychology. A note book in his vest pocket had this memorandum: ‘The Law of Pyschic Phe- pomenon, by Thomas Hudson.” There was a series of disconnected notes. in which a woman was referred to as “the eynic.” Rallroad business was also touched in the book. A handsome ellver match box | bore the inscription: “Love's Young lDbream.""

RIVER MEN SEE NO DANGER. VETERAN CAPT. SIMS SAYS HE EKENOWS ALL ABOUT IT. East St. Louisans View the Outlook Calmly and Will Not Become Alarmed Unless Unusually Heavy Rains Set in. Dr. Richard J. Hyatt sees no reason to hedge on his official forecast of Monday regarding -the prospect of a big overflow in the Missouri and Ohio Rivers. He says the danger point at St. Louis may be reached within a week. The veteran river man, who is a half- the | brother to the “oldest inhabitant,’’ disa- grees with Dr. Hyatt and declares the chances for a flood hereabouts are about as distant ‘as the moon from -the earth. Capt. T. B. Sims, in charge of the steam- er Hill City, has watched the course of the Mississippi for years. He can recollect floods of 40 years ago. To prove how they come and what causes them, basing ‘his opinion on past conditions, Capt. Sims says: . “Only the heaviest rains in the Ohio Val- ley and along the Mississippi can bring about a flood. Both the lower Mississippl and Ohio rivers are falling every day. There is not over 2% feet at St. Louis now, and it is doubtful if the rise here will ex- ceed 26 feet.’’ Dr. Hyatt says that during the last 2 hours there was a rise of one foot and six inches at Cairo. Prior to that, he says, the river was faliing at Cairo, but not suffi- cently to stop the overflow. “The Arkansas River has gone up six feet,’’ says the Doctor, “which is enough to hold up the lower Mississippi. The Ohio at Louisville and Cairo is stationary. At Vicksburg the Mississippi is two feet above the danger point, while the Cumberland is rising at Nasnville. The Mississippi at Dubuque !s steadily rising and the Missourt is at high gauge marks at Kansas City and Omaha. We think our proclamation warning the farmers along the Missouri and Ohio to be prepared for high water holds good. The gauge at St.. @ouis’ to-day registered 24 feet and 8 inches and I am positive the %0-foot stage, avhich. is the danger point,-will be: reached. That means the water will reach the top of the levee. Whether it will go any fur- ther is a question.” There is no alarm in East St. Louie over the present stage of the Miesissippi. Old residents say they are confident that unless an upusually heavy rainy “‘spell’’ sets in there will be no cause for alarm, “With the Missourt River on a ram- page and a long, rainy season in this sec- tion at the same time, there is always dan- ger of a fiood,”’ said an old citizen. ‘“For- tunately this spri the Mississippi is be- ing fed only by the Missouri River freshets and I am positive there will not be an ex- tremely rainy season.” Supt. Frank Horner of the East St. Iquis waterworks said the gauge at the pump- house. at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning re- corded a rise of six inches in 12 hours, or a 24-foot stage. ‘““At that rate it will take the river a week to get to the danger line on the East Side and I’m sure the Missouri River floods will all be emptied into the Gulf of Mexico in that time without the slightest damage to anything :in this sec- tion.” RISING AT OMAHA. The Weather Officials Surprised by the Erratic Missouri. OMAHA, Neb., April 2%.—With a fall of 2.2 feet in the river at Sioux City yesterday the stream at thie point gave tne Weather Bureau officials at this point a surprise last night by ae 0.3 of a foot. Tne only additional damage done at this point dur- ing the night was by water backing up Into low places:‘which had not been filled to the level of the river yesterday. This has about stopped, however. It is thougnt Swift & Co.’s big ‘ice houses are safe, as the water at that point ‘is not rising p®r- ceptibly this morning. The smelter has not suffered materially beyond the flooding of the ore crushing plant last night. The Illinois Central grade on the Iowa side ts standing up fairly well, but fears are ex- pressed that the new grade will melt away as the water recedes. MISSOURI IS STILL RISING. So Far, However, There Has Been But Little Damage. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 2%.—A still fur- ther rise in the Missourt River of five inches was recorded here to-day. The gauge this morning rea 22.2, one and two-tenths feet over the ganger line. The water in the bottoms has encroached grad- alae of business houses situated on the river. but no serious damage is apparent. The weather bureau's statements made yes- terday are practically re peated to-day. A continued slow rise at Kansas City until Thursday is predicted. The river will, it is thought, become statiorary 15 to & hours earlier at St. Joseph an intermediate oints. The rise at St. Joseph in the last 24 ours has amounted to four Inches, and at Plattsmouth to two inches. TROUBLE ON DEAD MAN’S ISLE. City Council of Vancouver Firm Against a Chicago Syndicate.

OUT-OF-TOWN DIVORCE —————_ @B -- - -—-— ALEXANDER. KAYSER GRANTED A DECREE. HUSBAND TAKES THE CHILD. — —-— Charless Cabanne, the Petitioner’s Father, Testifes on Her Be- half. The separation of Mr. and Mrs. Alexan- der H. Kayser, which occurred a little over a year ago, has been made final by the Cir- cuit Court of Montgomery County, Mo. A divorce was granted to Mrs. Virginia Kayser from Alexander H. Kayser at Dan- ville, Montgomery County, Monday on the plea of desertion. Mrs. Kayser is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charless Cabanne of 434 Westmin- ster place, As Miss Virginia Cabanne she was regarded as the most beautiful girl in St. uis society. At less than 30 she ise now a splendid looking woman, of the “magnificent” type, with Yaultiess face and form and superb color. Her marriage to ‘Alexander H, Kayser about eight years ago was made a brilliant society event. The couple went to live with the bride's parents. For some time,before they separated it was known by their friends that they were not living happily together:- Mr. ayser is eald to have been of an extremely jealoug disposition, and resented the admiration which his beautiful wife attracted. She was fully conscious. of her charms and fond of admiration. It is said that within limits of discretion she added fuel to her hus- band’s jealous flame by her frank indul- cree in social gayetiles, for which he cared ttie. A little over a year ago Kayser left the Cabanne residence and went to live at the St. Louis Club, afterward changing to the Svuthern Hotel. In March of last year Mrs. Kayser took her littlé son and went to Montgomery County to the home of her aunt, Mrs. Henry Clark. She has main- tained at least. a.nominal residence thefe ever sinee, althougn making frequent visits of length to St. Lovule.

Asked whom he would pick as a winner, a Western or an Eastern man, he replied: “A Western man, to be sure. The West— that is to say, the country lying across the Alleghenies—has the votes.

THE GERMANS DEFEND HIM. QUESTION CAUSES A SCENE IN THE COMMERCIAL CLUB. Resolution Rebuking the Naval Hero Voted Down in the Midst of an Uproar and Speeches De- fending Him Made. Publicity has been given to the presump- tion that because Belleville, the old home of Capt. Joseph B. Coghlan, is German in its characteristics, the city would turn @ cold shoulder to the Manila hero when he inakes his contemplated visit to his birth- place. The presumption did injust:ce to the Getiman-Aimerionn citizens of Belleville. It underrated their loyalty and patriotism, It will be made “hot” for Capt. Coghian when he comes to Belleville, but the warmth ijl be in the cordiality and en- thusiasm of hs reception. This was tn- dicated at Monday mght’s meeting of the Belleville Commercial Club. A _ resolution was introduced censuring the captain. e members of the club arose as one man and stamped upon it. It was not even accorded the dignity of a place on the records. By a unanimous vote all refer- ence to it was expunged. The meeting was a regular one, held jin the club’s headquarters on the fourth floor of the First National Bank Building. There was an unusually large attendance. In the absence of President A. S. Halstead, who had gone to St. Louis to attend a funeral, Capt... Joseph Fuess, the Vice-President, presided. It was known that a few radical Geér- mans had been going about all day thredat- ening to do terrible things. It was said that one member had gone to Vice-Presi- dent Fuess and announced that he waquld withdraw from the club unless the action taken a. week ago, making Capt. Coghlan an honorary member for life and inviting him to Belleville, was. rescinded. But nobody expected that the talk would were disposed to censure Coghlan it w supposed would be content to wait until t whole truth was known and the Gover ment had acted. None of the members of the club expect; the subject to be brought up. Nobody hi the hardihood to go before the club at bring it up, but some member , the iden ty 'of whom is guarded by the other me bers, sent in a'resolution In the form of communieation. If it: come und the head of resolutions it is probable |it would have been choked off before it fair eaw the light. The resolution gtage of the order business had been passed. Whem Chairms Fuess called for ‘‘comunications’’ nobod suspected what was coming. Secreta! Wm. Kircher arose and read a communic! tion which embodied a resolution sensurit Capt. Coghlan in the bitterest terms. As soon as the drift of it was perceivé there was a commotion. Before the feadir « was completed there was an uproar. The closing sentences were drowned in a wave 6 ee aif a dozen members shouted mo all intended to kill the resolution, ae fore it could be determined exactly wh motion was before the house there we demands for recognition from men wi were not content that the resolution shou ree so = rye min @ “he speeches whic Ollowed w kind to make the ears of the author of ¢ resolution tingle painfully.

Cogbian is losing importance as the day passes and his action is viewed in a more eonsiderate light. A high official whose advice would have much to do with the shaping of the fate of Capt. Coghlan said that in his opinion the needs of the case would be completely met by a sharp let- ter of reprimand addressed to him by the Navy Department if the Captain admitted he was correctly reported. The German Ambassador has not com- municated with the State Department on the subject since yesterday and it is be- lieved the German Government is now con- tent to await the action of the Navy De- partment without further pressing the matter. The view was expressed at the German Embassy to-day that the Capt. Coghian affair was practicaly ended, and that with the administering of a reprimand by the avy, Department the incident would be closed. KILLED HIS WIFE AND CHILD.

I int uced him to Mr. Rubey of Laclede County, and Mr. Rubey afterward told me that r. Coombs was drinking.” “On e train returning from the funer- al of Judge MacFarlane the witness saw Dr. Coombs and thought that he was under the influence of liquor. Representative Pope of Cole County was the first witness at to-day’s sesaion. He testified that Dr. Coombs appeared before the House Committee von Apprupriations one night tn March In an inioxicatel con: dition. “‘He was so intoxicated that it.was a subject of comment.” The witness had never seen Dr. Coombs take a drink. He had seen Dr. Coomvus under tie influence of liquor -n another occas’ at the Muaili- son otel. At che Committees on Appre- riations’ meeting, the witness stated, Dr. oombs talked incoherently. Judge Robert Smith, Represcatative fro:n Saline Couniy, eorroborated Mr. Fope’s statemert about Dr. Coombs’ appearance before the Committee on Appropriations. Representative Joab Nicholas of Noda- way County gaid he was present and he thought Dr. Coombs sober enough, but as he had never seen him before or since he would not be sure about it. The wiiness could not tell, however, whether this was the same occasion referred to by Judge Smith and Mr. Pope. D. H. Lindsay, clerk of the Committce on Appropriations, testified that Dr. Coombs voluntarily appeared before the Committee. He was accompanied by F. E. Luckett. “Dr. Coombs,” he said, “spoke about the eminent success of his administration.” Anything about the appropriation?’ Not a word.’’ “What was his condition?’ “*M opinion was that he was intoxi- cated—in a maudlin condition. His artic- ulation was not good. He exalted himself, which I don’t think a sober man would do.” F. M. Brown of Jefferson City had met Dr. Coombs twice. One occasion was on the train returning from Judge MacFarlane's funeral. The witness said he had been wie a mag but would not say that he was unduly intoxicated. He detected liquor up- on his breath. The witness didn't think Dr, Coombs was actually drunk. but his conduct was a subject of comment and the opinion was expressed that it was not in harmony with the occasion. His actions were noisy and bilarious. _Representative J. T. James of St. Louis County, a member of the Appropriations Committee, testified that he did not recall that Dr. Coombs was ever before the Com- mittee o aupecerre tions. When Dr. Coombds was pointed out to him he could not remember him. HORNE SAYS STEPHENS “LIES.” He Says Other Things, Also, but Tones Them Down: by Request. Special to the Poat-Iiapatch.

He was accompanied by his broth- er and Dr. Westover. When he heard the substance of Gov.

Horne put it stronger than that at firat, but on the advice of Dr. Westover and his brother, tened it down to the above statement. “I wishto be sidered as personally re- sponsible for tha statement,’ he added.

Otis finds it reer = to prosecute an of- fensive campaign © ainst the Filipinos, with the heavy raiti and torrid heat of the climate so much ainst him, is not ex- plained at the War Department, It is said that Gen. Otis is left free to act upon his own judgment. | Outside of the War Department the be- lief is that Gen. Otis is endeavoring by the present movement to hem in the insurgents, That he expects Lawton’‘to come in from the north and cut off the Filipinos retreat after MacArthur has taken Calumpit. This maneuver, if successful, would be a crushing blow to the insurgents. If this movement ehould fail and the Americans are forced by the rains to cease offensive operations and withdraw to posts near Manila, the rebels will follow up this backward movement, again intrench them- selves just beyond gunshot of the Ameri- can lines, and next epring all this territory now held by Otis will have to be won anew. One feature of the present movement that causes comment is that the volunteers, whose terms of servicé has already expired are doing most of the severe fighting. Calumpit lies on the left bank of a small Stream at its confluence with the large river Rio Grande. It is a substantially built town, with some 2000 houses. The advance of Gen, Lawton ts by way of Norzagay. A road runs al] the way from there to Calumpit. Along it are scattered many smal! tow Angat, Bustos, Dal- inog—indicating at the advance is through a populous country. Et is an ag- ricultural locality with extensive rice and fruit plantations. ‘The War Department map, prepared by the Military Inmormation Bureau, shows that this road joins the one on which MacArthur is moving up from Malolos.

When Iloilo wae taken, not only did the insurgents loot stores, but it is assertea that American soldiers did, too. An officer is now on trial by court-martial for letting his men loot a jewelry store there. It is alleged also that the Boston and Petre! needlessly shelled parts of the town These claims, after being passed upon by Gen. Otis, will be forwarded to the War Department, reviewed by the Judge Advo.- cate-General and Secretary Alger, and finally sent to the State Department.

PHILADBDLPHIA, April 2%.—The arrest of one Federal officer and two ex-Federal officials, in connection wtih the Lancaster counterfeiters diacloses the existence of a conspiray outrivaling in the magnitude of its scope and the danger in its poss ble consequences anything of a like nature ‘hitherto known in the history of the United States Government. The men gathered in by the secret service dragnet are: Ellery P. Ingham, ex-United States District Attorney of this city; Henry K.

Wilkie, Chief of the Secret Service of the Treasury Department, as the king pin of the siupen- dous conspiracy against the integrity of the Government's currency system, and it was at his home. Lancaster, that the actual work of manufacturing the spurious silver certificates and internal revenue stamps was carried on. The execution of the plates from which were printed the notes and etamps that for a period baffled even the Government experts themselves was ac- complished in Philadelphia, where also were conducted the negotiations with a former Attache of the United States District At- tornuey’s office, as alleged by the Secret Bervice agente, the purpuse of which was to keep the counterfeiters posted in regard to any steps that might be taken by the Gov- ernment authorities to balk their nefarious 0 2 RB ot to put into operation a an to manufacture $10,000,000 In $20, $50 and 00 notes. Jacobs worked upon ‘the theory that every man could be purchased, and it was hfs intention, after making this large ount of bogus money, to buy a recelving ¢elier in a Subtreasury, deposit the coun- terfeits in sums of not less than $1°0,000, take b@ certificate of deposit and draw against them for genuine money. The men. concerned in this conspiracy es Government. They were ready to manufacture genuine stamps of all kinds, as well as money. Monte Cristo would have been a pauper compared to any one of them had the plot not been foiled, The Secret Service has employed fully 0 men, women and children in the case. o two detectives were allowed to mect, and while a man was at work other agents were employed to watch him, for it was known that the conepirators had bribed at least one Secret Service man to apprise them of the steps taken by the Govern- “ment. Bredell is. according to Agent Wilkie, the most expert mechanic in the United States and Taylor, the other engraver in the plot, ig an artist in his line with few equals. The story of the exposure and capture of wy counterfeiting gang as told by Chief kie apart from his testimony given at he hearing of two prisoners before United tates Commissioner Edmunds, surpasses in its interest anything related of the fam- ous Brockway band of years ago, whose operations startied the country and for a long time confounded the beet efforts of the government's experts set to apprehend them. » “The origin of the Investigation with which the Treasury Department entrusted me,” said Mr. Wilkie, “‘was the discovery f counterfeit $100 silver certificates, check etter D and bearing the Monroe virnette. These counterfieits had but two defects. The color of the seal was salmon pink whereas it should have been carmine. The other and more prominent defect appeared in the quality of the paper, which was slightly thicker than the paper used by the overnment. The genuine treasury paper as hitherto proved to be one of the great- est eafeguards against counterfe'ters, not ause its manufacture was a secret pro- cess, which it wasn't, but becauee to make it would require a plant the cost of which would be beyond the reach of ordinary Men. Incidentally I may mention here that the penalty for making paper is the — as for making a cousterfeit Treasury note. “The first thing to decide was as to how the countrefeit note was made. Experts who were consulted, disagreed, and de- cided the matter for myself, to my own Satisfaction, at least. I came to the con- clusion that the counterfeit by a combination of photo-etchine and hand-engraving,. and that therefore it would necessary to look for somebody who wee an expert in beth, which were really widely divergent branches. . 4 conclusion as to the manner in which the note was produced, seemed to @liminate at once al! possibility of any old- timers were engaged in the work because Such men are not thoroughly educated in “to-date engraving business. Following thie tne of thought it appeared likely that & Systematic investigation of engravers as ec aes would be necessary to secure relia- le results, and that investigation I deter- ™ to make. “Lhe investigation began simultaneously ry New York, St. Louis, Chicago and Phila- eiphia.

Inci- dental to the personal] investigation of en- gravers, we were also trying to identify the paper used in the counterfeit, and this work went one with the other. Having started Burns I went to New York to make inquirtes there. On March Il Burns wired me the he had ‘located the parties.’ I returned here that evening, and the threads which had led Burns to his inferences were gathered together. These threads were indeed but slight, and that they were grasped so qucikly by Burns and their real importance recognized, is Dut a passing tribute to his foresight and skill. “If the process of making the counterfeit was such as I had in mind the plates must have been ready for the work in March or April, for it wes in June, 1897, that the counterfeits were discovered in Washing- ton, as it would necessarily take from four to six weeks to turn them, out. “As a matter of fact, a mumber of the spurious ‘Monroe head’ $100 certificates had been accepted as genuine at the Subtreas- ury in Washington. I have a large number of them in my possession now, including several that deceived the Washington offi- clals. “Officer Burns ascertained that at about the same time that the plates were made, according to my theory, the prigoners, Tay- lor and Bredell, had disappeared for a while and that some friends of theirs who were in the habit of visiting the office at 106 Walnut street could not get admit- tance. The office was, in fact, closed. We now inquired into the standing of these two men as engravers, Taylor, it was learned, was an absolute master of en- graving on stee!l, and had invented a new process of his own. He wae a man of infi- nite patience, and was regarded as the best all-round man in the business. His part- ner, Bredell, was aA mechanic of the highest order, really a geniue, who could make anything in the mechanical line. He constructed a geometrical lathe and a new pantagraph. He was also an expert transferrer and one of his productions was a ‘cycloidal machine,’ used in engraving curved lines. The combination of two such men seemed to us likely to produce remark- able results. A further significant fact was that after June, 1897, these two men dis- played diamonds. The main causes for sus- picfon, however, lay In their seclueion and their marked ability. The problem, then, was how to convert suspicion into certainty. “To approach this end we instituted a per- fect Anan of shadowing, I detailed to as- sist Burns in this work, Capt. John E. Mur- phy of the St. Louis District, Matthew T. Griffin and Thomas R. McManus ef the Pittsburg iatriet, one. ee cage Aan Stanley ago, all Secret Service . te Deen er, 1897, Taylor and Bredell closed their Walnut street office, and re- moved to the top floor of 830 Filbert street, which was an ideal location for persons who did not want to be disturbed at their work. There was a G. A. R. meeting hall beneath them and nothing but the roof above. Our shadowing work also involved the mvents- ation of all packages received or shippe o the euspects. Not an article entered or left the office that we sous not tell whence © or whither it went. t SPaylor and Bredell never left the city without one of our men going with nem and keeping them under the closest surveltl- ance. It was the habit of the men to make occasional trips to Lancaster for consulta- tion with Jacobs and his chief confederate, Vendig, while Bredell used to visit his pa- rents. who lived at Snow Hill, ‘Md. + ; “We learned,” said Mr. Wilkie, tha Taylor and Bredell had begun to make — tensive purchases of material to he use in the manufacture of the paper upon which to print the spurious notes. These consisted of alum, blue. bleaching chemi- cals, skeins of red and blue silk to be cut into silk fiber, wire gauze, castings and other necessities in the manufacture of the paper which they intended to use in the counterfeits. S - established the connect:on be- —y ~ gravers and Jacobs threugh the en i taal that the articles I have mentioned were invariably sent to the latter, wo e biggest manufactory of cheup oS * “he United States outside of New York, having & capacity of between a mil- lion and a million and a half a week, and employing between 500 and 600 hands, we were not long in identifying his confeder- ate, William L. Kendig, who was ostensi- bly the proprietor of a smaller cigar fac- tory, which, however, had turned ott less than 25.000 cigars a week, and it was as- certained that Jacobs paid the rent of this establishment. The goods shipped by Tay- jor & Bredel! were transferred to the Ken- dig place, where we became assured it was designed to manufacture the bank note paper, and the vast quantity of the reyve= nue stamp paper I have described was a/so removed from time to time to the Kendig factory, usually in what was made to pass ases. ki Cslaving. verified all these facts, con- tinued the Secret Service Chief, : “ wae only a question of when to make the . 3- ive move for the apprehension of tne ring- leaders of this gen operation, the bold- est and most au acious known to tle — vice.

He said that Jacobs had approached them four or five years ago with the proposition to engrave some coun- tetrfeit cigar stamp plates. He had ac- | cepted. e said he had received several thousand dollars. The plates had been cut and delivered. Subsequently he had made duplicate plates, the first being worn out. “Then began the work on counterfeit money plates. The $100 certificate was the result. Bredell did not tell the story, but he affirmed what Taylor said.”’ Ellery P. Ingham has been prominent as a Republican in State politics for years. He was pointed United States Attorney for the tern District of Pennsylvania by President Harrison, but was succeeded at the end of his term by James M. Beck, who received his appointment from Presi- dent Cleveland. During the past few years Mr. Ingham has been a prominent figure at the State conventions and on the stump as an adherent of ex-Senator Quay. Judg- ing from a remark dropped by Commis- sioner Edmunds while he was preparing Ingham’‘s bond, it ia not believed any more arrests will be made in connection with the case. Special credit for running down this gang belongs to William J. Burns of Wash- ington, Capt. John E. ae hee of St. Louis, Matthew F. Griffin and omas R. Mce- Manus of Pittsburg, and Charles E. Stan- ley of Chicago, who were specially deta‘led. At different times the following ents were also engaged in the work: wen Owen, John J. Henry, William J. Flinn and Frank W. Brown of the New York office; Michael P. Bolan of Cincinnati, S. Donella of Omaha, Frank S. Cairns of In- dianapol's, and Joseph Priest, Benjamin F. Perry and George F. Foster of the Washington office. The counterfeiting plant was as com- plete as it could be; and the new plates were even more perfect than the $100 ‘Mon- roe’ head plate. If the men had succeeded in beginning operations, the new bills would have been so ng wet as to be ex- tremely dangerous. reat difficulty would have been experienced in detecting the bad bills from the good, and the result on the currency system of the country would have been d-sastrous. Never before have counterfeiters at- tempted to do business on such an exten- sive scale. Thés is the first time that efforts have been made to manufacture paper identical with that used by the Government. The whole case is without a parallel in the trade of the counterfeiter. CHARGED WITH DOUBLE MURDER Husband of One of the Women Killed Near Murphysboro Denounced by Her Mother. MURPHYSBORO, MII, April &.—Frank Davie, who was yesterday arrested, charged with the murder of Mrs. Davie and May Millstead in a tent near here Friday night, etill refers to his alleged victim as “‘my dear little wife.’’ Davie arrived here yesterday, accompanie@ by his mother-in-law and father-in-law from Fredonia, and professed ignorance of his wife's death until notified by the authorities in this city. s0Qqn as the mother of the dead wom- an heard of the murder she said she be- lieved Davie committed the deed and she charged him with the crime at the coffins of the dead women, in the undertaking es- tablishment where the bodies had been pre- pared for burial. Testimony at the inquest showed that the women had been visited Friday night by two men, and that about 7 o'clock some person fired a revolver outside the tent several times, one bullet going through the canvas, All inside ran out and the person who is supposed to have fired the shots called out: “O, Ella!"’ to Mrs. Davie. She then said to the others: “It’s Frank. It’s all right. Let’s go back.” he two women went back and the two men departed. Later two men went up near the tent and heard a man Inside talking to the women. They believed from the volce that it was Davie. Davie was found asleep Saturday morn- ing in a barn on the farm of a brother-in- law near Carbondale. His coat was wet, but he explained ihat this was caused by 6team blowing on him from a passing lo- comotive and not from the rain that fell here during the night. He says that he left here Friday to go to Fredonia to visit his wife’s parents and stopped at the home of his brother-intaw. The family of the latter being asleep, he slept in the barn in pre- ference to waking them. The mgs eng is that the women were killed while they slept. The wound on Mrs. Davie's head was made with something similar to the hammer end of a hatchet. The wound on the Milistead woman's head may have been Made with the blade of a dull hatchet or with a poker. Mrs. Davie's life was insured for $500 in her husband's favor. It is the theory of the authorities that the girl was killed to hide the Orst crime. SAVED SEVEN HUNDRED. Remarkably Successful Methodist Re- vival Ended at Decatur. DBCATUR, Ill...

WILL BE SOLD AT AUCTION. DANGEROUS FOR DEALERS TO AT- TEMPT TO EVADE SEIZURE. Any One Who Attempts to Do This Will Be Prosecuted, So the Pat- rons of the Jacobs Cigar Fac- tory Must Stand Losses. Piled up in three large rooms on the second floor of the Federal building are boxes of various sizes containing 100,000 cigars. They are all labeled with bogus revenue stamps and were manufactured at the factory of W. M. Jacabs in Lancaster, Pa. The geizure of these goods means a loss of several thousand dollars to St. Louis dealers. Some grades of the confiscated cigars are retailed at W cents. Bleven deputies from the office of Inter- nal Revenue Collector Grenner are making a thorough inspection of the stock in every cigar store, jobbing house and factory in S« Louis. Their efforts have resulted in turning up the ‘Jacobs’ cigars at the rate of 30,000 a day. Mr. Grenner says the investigation has only begun, and he anticipates that possibly a million cigars will be confiscated here be- fore it is concluded. As stated the principal members of the gang of revenue stamp counterfeiters, in- cluding two former United States District Attorneys, and W. M. Jacobs, the largest cigar manufacturer in Pennsylvania, ara under arrest at Lancaster, Pa. The Federal authorities declare the evidence against them is conclusive. A complete outrit for manufacturin the bogus stamps was found in the pa A factory. The case is in charge of John E. Wilkie, Chief of the Secret Service Bureau at Washington. He was the first to unearth the fraud. The imitation gtamps are almost an exact counterpart of the genuine, and the dif- ference cannot be detected without the aid of a microscope. By evading the payment of ~ yy taxes Jacobs et al. were enabled to sell their goods at very low prices. They found purchasers in every part of the United States In St. Louis it is estimated that about 100 dealers patronized the concern. hey have been virtually victimized, as under the law they must surrender the goods to the Government, and not a cent will they get in return.

It is greatly to be regretted that Capt. Coghlan should have so far> forgotten good taste and judg- ment as to yield to the temptation of saying offensive things against a friendly power and its sovereign. It is regrettable becatse it interrupted the growth of good feeling between the two nations, and because it deprives a brave officer, through his own indiscretion, ofthe fruits of his gallant conduct. It is a pity that Capt. Coghlan’s admiration for Admiral Dewey's courage and ability did not lead him to imitate his discretion. _—- WHY YOU SHOULD SUBSCRIBE. REASON NO. 1. If you are an owner of St. Louis real estate, read the speeches delivered at the real estate men’s banquet and you will find a hundred reasons for subscritling to the World's Fair, all of which may be summed up in the one great reason--the fair will be a source of enormous profit to the owners cf St. Louis real estate. It war estimated by an expert that the aggregate ex- penditures in preparation for and immediate connection with the fair would reach $50,000,000. Nearly all of this vast sum will be expended in real estate improvements, or in work directly affecting the value of real estate. There will be St. Louis by the World's an army of workers brought to Fair. They must have homes. There will be a host of investors attracted to St. Louis by the opportunities for profitable investment. These in- vestments will be chiefly in real estate, and real estate im- provements or enterprises affecting real estate. There will be vast sums expended in wages and materials, improving the condition of St. Louis business men and work- ingmet. Real estate values wifl be greatly enhanced. Rents will be enhanced. Already the effects of the prospect of the World’s Fair are felt in a stimulated market and advancing rents. These effects will be increased as the work progresses. Every real estate owner in St. Louis will be benefited in direct proportion to his holdings. He can afford and ought to subscribe according to his holdings. Every dollar will come back with large profit. = = S -~ TS Says the new Police Court Judge of Columbus, O., to the police: “Don't bring down the men and women you find in a disorderly house. without getting the landlord.

The scent of man has been the subject of a number of experienents of Dr. A. Bethe, who gives his results in the new number Of the Archiv der gesamten Physiologie. Dr. Bethe, in one particular, extends the Jager theory even further than its original pro- moter ventured to do. and affirms at every human individual has his or her own pecullar scent. Not only a dog, says he. ut a man gifted with an exceptional nasal sensibility, can detect a man by his dis- tinct and ind’vidual smell.

He brought thia Won- cerful “‘smeller.”” with bandaged eyes, into a room where more than 20 persons of his acquaintance had been collected, and the “smeller’ detected and named every one of them correctly, by deliberately — his nose to each in turn. The “human scent,”’ according to Dr. Bethe is not born with us, but is acquired. Prof. Jager’s theory, as many will be aware,“is that the personal scent of a man has en ethica value. and he takes certain texts of the Old Testament to be actually, as well as figuratively, true.

The brother is one of those fellows who knows everybody and whom everybody knows. The entree was served with a delicious dressing. The woman had not been married so long that she had ceased to care how to fix up nice things for her husband. She wanted to know how to make that dressing. The brother called the proprietress and _ told her the woman’s wish. The chef was called in. He was seen to talk and gesticulate to the Lilinolg lady. When she returned to the table she was asked if she could make the Sreneng. ‘Well,’ she said, “he explained it fully, and I guess I cam make it, but I didn't understand a word the French chef said."

And when he trudged t he carried a portion of the mountain sausage meat. HE WAS OBLIGING.—A few days ago a rather stout lady got off a Cherokee car at the transfer sta- tion at the Four Courts corner. She shouted to the con- ductor for her trans- fer, and as the car was moving off he threw it towards her, but a gust of wind caught the little slip of paper, and it went heavenward.

She turned to a gentleman who had got off the same car and asked the loan ol a nickel, explaining that she had some miles oe go, and Was too stout to walk the dis- ance. He promptly handed it to her, and told her that he considered it a favor to be of some service to her. She asked for his name so #ehée could re- turn the money om her arrival home Fe refused to give it to her. She refused to accept the money under any other condi- tions. So they argued, and a car was ap- proaching.

WOT A TRACE OF EMOTION IN THE TRYING ORDEAL @o-Day the Defendant’s Counsel Pres- ents Her Case and the Jury May Decide Her Fate in the Next Forty-Eight Hours. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CANTON, O., April %.—If vehemence of eratory and a blistering tongue could con- yict Mrs. Annie E. George there would be little chance of escape. For five hours Assistant Prosecutor James J. Grant ad- dressed the jury in closing the case of the State. With a dead man’s bullet-ripped coat and a shining revolver for properties stood at the front of the Frtage ali but the final act of this court room e. An actor of heroic parts was led when Mr. Grant took up the law. would have made a glorious Silver . In votce and manner he is melo- matic to a fine degree. He is a student of effects and a con- Structor of fancies. He is massive of body and loud of voice, and the wall of the beautiful new Stark County Courthouse @choed and re-echoed with his plaintive le for justice and his withering touches of sarcasm. Mrs. George bore the ordeal with much m. Grant is not only a brilliant, ee 1 speaker, but he was for years the warm, sympathetic and useful friend of George D. Saxton. When Mrs, George went to South Dakota for her divorce, t went with her as legal adviser. He knows the story of the Saxton-George ro- to the last chaptre. gt thed ten we that he could tell a great deal that been untold. He talked with tremen- energy and sympathy, as if arguing - case of Nis dear friend. George sat unmoved, head upon her left hand and keeping her eyes downward. She scarcely changed her ition in the five hours’ speech. Not a race of emotion did she show when Grant's tongue was bitterest, when he brandished the revolver almost over her . when he held Saxton’s coat within a foot of her and called her a murderess. Mrs. George's oldest son. Newton, was a more interested. He swung uneasily in his chair at times when he was not drumming his teeth with his fingers. Mrs. George's friends were out in force. Their tymn women were in the audience. resting her ir sympathies were with Mrs. George, r applause followed Mr. Welty’s checking Grant in the height of a peroration. rence Klingler, the young woman who od F alibi for Mra. George, @at near the defendant. She, too, was a target for Grant and was being roasted to interfered. Mrs. George's sister, and . Siddinger, were present in court for the first time in a week. Mr. Grant, in his opening remarks, cited law bearing on homicides and quoted at geome length from authorities on the var- s degrees of homicide. He especially Gwelt on the Marie Barberi case, which the court cited the other day aa an authority fn the admission of testimony bearing on Mra. George's manner and conduct when ages of Saxton and her relations with m, the court holding that such testimony t was frenzy and grief constituting such a form of insanity as mitigated pre- Meditation or deliberation. In discussing this case Mr. Grant em- the fact that at no time had homi- been denied, and that the broken prom- and the grief and frenzy and breach of wromise had provoked strongly was admitted in mitigation of the degree of crime He insisted that the introduc- of such testimony by the defense in this case constitutetd a confession and se only be oonsidered as mitigation of offense thus confessed. Mr. Grant paused a moment and then tn a voloe quivering with emotion continued: years,”’ he said, “I had seen the clouds er over the path of the victim. Dark. and darker still, they grew. Two before his death, (when Sample @ sult was settled), light seemed to settled at last,’ I said. ‘Old e me your hand,’ then the dark that woman, who never faltered emes from the first time she met manifested.”’ State says the death of Saxton was in the first degree; that he met t the hands of Anna E.

Mr. Grant explained that he was not speaking as an individual but was talking from the light of the evidence. ye “T shall take occasion to say to the jury, eaid Judge Taylor, “that this woman not to be convicted on suspicion. “What was there to warrant anybody in thinking that this woman committed that orime, Well, in the first place she said she would.

I love him and if he doesn’t marry me I'll kill him.’ “Willlam O. Werntz spoke the truth when he told what this woman said to him she would do to Saxton. She was then be- yond a passing thought. “She was planning—deliberating and pre- meditating.

Where is there proof in or out of the record of thie case except the second- hand conversations of this accused woman that D. Saxton conducted himseif other than as a man. “He was hunted and chased by the woman who thad no respect for him or for herself. How she must have loved and revered him. How she respected him.

He repeated Mrs. e’s threat to raise h—1l with Saxton if her and her statement there would a wedding or a funera) in Canton if he didn’t keep 8 agreement. He referred to Mrs. George’s action in lying in wait for Saxton, in co y with a - liceman, on the night i the m er. They hid in alleys, and watched Saxton’s windows, he said. The policeman was told, if he saw Saxton. not to halt him. He was only to report her 4 nace A presence in the neighborhood to rs. ge. Grant argued that Mrs. George did not lie in wait for Saxton with any good pur e. Had she desired to see him she would Bites gone to ‘his office in the daytime.

Third—That the jury finding Mrs. George guilty of murder in the first degree may rec- ommend mercy, in which event the punish- ment will be imprisonment for life. That the defendant had no right to take the law in her own ‘hands to right any wrongs which she may have suffered or claimed to have suffered at the hands of Saxton. That it is essential that an alibi should cover the whole time of the alleged homicide.

Sterl ng began the open- ing address in defense of Mrs. George. ‘The Barberi case dwelt upon by Mr. Grant ves- terday was first taken up. Mr. Sterling disputed the position of the State that the testimony on Mrs. George’s grievances against Saxton could only be considered in connection with an implied confession and then only In determ'ning the degree of the crime. He said the wrongs of accused were offered and should be accepted as showing the circumstances and conditions surrounding the threats which it was sought to be proved she had made. Later Mr. Sterling took up a review of the tes- timony. He was expected .to occupy the greater part of the day.

Special to the Post-Dievatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April %.—All efforts to block the Farris beer inspection bill in progress to the statute books has failed, even to the threatened protest against its being signed by the officers of the House and Senate. The only recourse left the brewers is to fight the law in the courts. The bill was read at length in the Sen- ate this morning and signed by President Bolte and Secretary Roach. It was af once sent to the House to be signed by the Speaker and Chief Clerk, thence to go to the Governor for his signature to be- come a law, but when the bil] reached the House Jackson (Dem.) of New Madrid County. who is a saloonkeeper, filed a writ- ten protest. The protest sets forth that the bill is un- constitutional, that its title is misleading; that it was not legally passed, and that the Speaker acted arbitrarily in violation of parliamentary and constitutional law in permitting Whitecotton and McClaren to vote after the verification of the roll. The protest was signed by Cardwell and Jack- son (Democrats), Kelton, Wilson of St. Louis, Wilson of Hickory and Beedle (Re- pubiicane). Kneisley moved that the protest be re- jected, which threw the House into an exceedingly awkward tangle. This is the first time a protest of this sort has been fled for years, and the House did not know what to do with it, though many members thought they could offer a way out and volunteered to do it, with the re- sult that the tangle only became greater. Finally all motions were withdrawn and Cardwell moved that the protest be sus- — and the roll was called on this mo- on, ‘ Cardwell’s motion failed by a vote of 72 to 42 and the enrolled bill was promptly signed by the Speaker.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 2.—The House this morning passed a bil which would have made sheriffs and constables rich but juet before the result was an- nounced it was discovered that it would give officers $2 for every venireman sum- moned for a jury. A special jury would be a grent thing for the officer summoning, and a etampede of changing votes was soon started that killed the section which had come in as a Senate amendment to Jack- son's House bill which was supposed to be a retrenchment measure. The balance of the bill will go back to the Senate. HOUSE NOW IN A HURRY. Effort Will Be Made to Clear Up All Work Except Revision. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 25.—In the House this morning Blair of DeKalb made a motion to indefinitely postpone all the bills on the general House calendar for engrossment except joint and concurrent resolutions and appropriation bills. The motion was offered to take effect at once to the end that the revision work might be started, but there was objections, and the House made it a special order for to-mor- row afternoon at 2 o'clock to give oppor- tunity for discussion. ere is a véry strong sentiment In favor of finishing the engrossment of House bills this week and the only question is which day shall be selected. The Senate has practically stopped engrossing new bills. FAVOR A FIRE MARSHAL. Senate Passes the Bill to Create the New State Office. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JDBFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 2.—The Senate Committee on. Fire, Marine and Tor- nado Insurance reported favorably this morning the bill by Orchard to create the office of State Fire Marshal for Missouri, who shall look after the origin of fires, take testimony and proof of loss. The Superin- tendent of Insurance is made ex-officio Fire Marshal, and has authority to appoint a deputy at a salary of $2000 and a clerk at $1500. Fach insurance company shall pay a license fee of 3 cents into this fund for each agent in the State. This ie a Demo- cratic measure, known as the fire marshal bill, introduced early in the session, and it has been sleeping soundly in the commit- tee up to this time. It seems now that the Democratic machine will try to push the bill to passage. TWO WOMEN FIGHT IN AN OLIVE STREET RESTAURANT. Miss Boyer Said ‘““You Ain’t So Nice, and Miss King Said “You Rubber-Neck.”’ —— When Miss Grace Boyer, head waitress in the Blite Cafe, 2100 Olive street, and Miss May King, who has a,room over that es- tablishment, finished decorating the cafe walls with eggs and pastry Monday night in a trial of their physical prowess, the decorations are said to have resembled @ highly colored drawing of Cervera’s fleet just after the Spanisn Admiral had en- deavored to run the blockade in Cuban waters. If it hadn’t been for the peace-making proclivities of J. R. Royston, the proprie- tor of the piace, it is probable that either Miss Boyer or Miss King would be occupy- ing a slab at the Morgue. ‘ihe police were caiieu in to quell the dis- turbance. No arrests were made for the alleged reason that the principals ref to prefer charges against each other. No one but Miss King could be found around the “Elite’’ Tuesday morning who knew anything about the affair, and she wouldn't talk much, Miss King said that she came home from down town about 8 o’clock Monday even- ing, and that as she passed the front door of the ‘‘BDiite’’ she heard Miss Boyer say sneeringly, *“‘O, you ain't 80 nice. s “I dian’t like her any too well anyhow, said Miss King, “and I just stopped an said, ‘You, b.g rubber-neck, for 2 cents l’d stop and slap you.’ ” 2. “(slap away,” she retorted. “That aroused my ire and I sailed in. She was standing behind the counter as l entered the cafe, and I just reached over and handed her one in the jaw with my left hand. She started to run and l noticed her grab an egg from a dish that stood on the counter. ‘hen I made a rush for the dish and began | ing her with eggs. ‘Sometimes an egg would hit her and at other times its destination was up against the frescoed walls. She threw two or three eggs at me, but they only assisted me in decorating the walis. It seemed to me like I had fired three dozen eggs at her. I know I took all there was in the dish. “When the eggs gave out I started to clinch with her, but Mr. Royston separated us. In the meantime he had sent for a policeman, but I just dared Mr. Royston to nave me locked up. You see, the police didn’t lock anybody up, don’t you? I did not only throw eggs, but I fired several pies and a cake or two at my adversary, and the last I saw of her she was starting home to change her clothing.” GOOD FOR MR. BAUMHOFF. He Is Going to Have Mail Collected More Frequently. Several improvements in the 8t. Louis postal service were announced by Postmas- ter Baumhof Tuesday. “There will be an additional collection,” he says, “from letter boxes all over the city, beginning at 6 o’clock in the morning. The night collection will hereafter com- mence at 9:30 o'clock instead of 8 as here- tofore. This is because we find that a large volume of the mail is deposited after 8 o'clock. “The carrier system, too, has been re- arranged, and the service facilitated in every way possible.”’ BROKE THE WINDOW IN VAIN. Burglar Tried to Rob a Jewelry Store, but Failed. A burglar made an unsuccessful attempt to rob the jewelry store of W. A. Gill & Co,, 616 Olive street, at 2:30 o’clock Friday morning.

Mr. Breaker Shake Hands and Forget Differences. Serious strife has been averted and seri- ous charges disposed of by the peace-mak- ing efforts of a committee of the State Board of Missions of the Baptist Church. The board held a quarterly meeting Mon- day night at the Third Baptist Church. Rev. M. J. Breaker, the Corresponding Secre- tary, made his report. In conclusion he said: “Some questions have arisen between Rev. S. M. Brown of Kansas City and the Cor- responding Secretary, which need to be settled lest the work receive harm.” He explained that Rev. Mr. Brown had accused him of allowing part of the funds of the society to go astray. He had ex- pressed this accusation in a private letter to Rev. Mr. Breaker and to others. Mr. Breaker asked that a full investigation of the charges be made, Mr. Brown entered the room. He sald he had come in response to atelegram. He said he desired to appear in the inquiry. On motion of Dr. W . Boyd a committee of five was appointed to make'an investiga- tion and report to the board at the rooms of the Baptist Publication Society at 10 o'clock Tuesday. The committee consisted of Dr. Boyd, Rev. E. W. Stephens of Colummia, 4s: J. 8 Connor of Vandalia, Rev. . E Truex of Macon and Rev. W. J. Patrick of Bowling Green. The committee met immediately after the adjournment of the board meeting. he inquiry was not completed until 2:30 Tues- day morning. By that time it was clear that the charges had grown out of a chap- ter of misunderstandings. Rev. Mr. Brown acknowledged that he had wronged Rev. r. Breaker, and the two men shook hands. Tuesday the committee made the follow- ing report to the board, which was unani- mously adopted and the incident closed: The special committee ap ted to investigate that part of the report of you Correspondin ec- retary referring to questions between bimeself and ev. 8. . Brown g leave to submit the fol- lowing: After a free and full disclosure of all the facts the occasions of disagreement were re- moved, the brethren reconciled and your commit- tee oy om | satisfied that your reeponding Secretary and Rev.

KELCEY AND SI SHANNON - AT THE OLYMPIC. “The Moth and the Flame” returned to the Olympic last evening for a run of one week. The company is the same that pre- sented the play last fall. Herbert Kelcey is the villian hero, and stands for the flame at which Effie Shannon and other retty moths singe their wings. The play intended to be a realistic picture of life in the “Smart Set’’ of New York society. Let those of us who are not in 5 peewee to speak with certainty as to the fidelity of the picture accept the statements that it i likeness. We may tem- for the members of Ser"’ by the reflection that the people tn it are there because they like it, elae they wouldn't stay. The play is interesting beeause of certain bright lines and the grewsome contrasts in the situa- tion. The spectacie of men and women clad in fancy costumes dancing around two wome@® who have just learned of the eui- cide Im the room above of the husband of one and the father of the other Is fascin- ating in its horror. So it is with the en- tire play; it is a tragedy in rag-time, The company is excellent, Mr. Kelcey as a deep-dyed villian is something of a shock but he interprets the role of Edward Fletch®r with intelligence and accomplishes his probable purpose of showing that a scoundrel and cad may be successful in wooing good women. It is not absolutely sure t at Mr. Fitch, who made the play, intended the villain hero te be so utterly bad as to deprive himself of ali sympathy from the audience, but that is the way in which Mr. Kelcey defines the character. He makes Fletcher thoroughly ignoble. Miss Shannon is a beautiful woman and an act- ress of merit. Sweetly pathetic roles such as Marion Wolton suit her admirably. Mias Marion Abbott as a witty woman with the divorce habit, is always pleasing. She rattles off bits of cynical humor in re- freshing style and redeems the play from somberness. The other members of the cast are competent and they work well to- gether. The production of the — ia in every way adequate. The audience last night was enthusiastic in its applause.

Cppesition to the Administration Fa- vors the Former City Hospital Superintendent. The name of Dr. Otto Sutter will be pre- eented to Mayor Ziegenhein Tuesday after- noon for appointment as Health Commis- sioner, to succeed Dr. Max Starklof?. The Mayor's alate, as first made up, con- tained the name of Dr. Starkloff, and had not members of the House of Delegates and Council served positive notice on the Mayor that Dr. Starkloff’s appointment would not be confirmed, the list would have been eent to the Council last Friday. Mayor Ziegenhein hag clung to the hope that he could influence the members to support his choice, but the opposition has never weak- ened, and the Mayor has realized that _he must give up the idea of appointing Dr. Starkloff to succeed himself. The opposi- tion to Dr. Starkloff has taken a more seri- ous turn than the Mayor thought possible, and the men who hold the power to confirm or reject threatene’ to de t geome of the cherished plans of the Mayor and to parade before the public certaih things which the Mayor wants to keep quiet if he persists in A appointment of his Health Commis- sioner. Dr. Sutter declared himself out of politics when he resigned his sition as superin- tendent of the City Hospital the first of the year. He established a private hos- ital. When the apoonen to Dr. Stark- off began to develop the opposition cast about for a man to place at the head of the Health Department. Dr. Sutter was approached and the support of the opposi- tion was proffered him. He declared he would not accept the position if ap- inted and reiterated his determination o keep out of politics. Dr. Sutter’s administration of affairs at the City Hospital met with the approba- tion of the Ziegenhein administration, and it is said that the Mayor has intimated that if the withdraal of Dr. Starkloff's name and the substitution of Dr. Sutter's ‘will placate the opposition he will revise his slate. Dr. Sutter’s personal and politi- cal friends have had several conversations with him, and while he has not publicly announced that he would accept the posi- tion if tendereal him, his friends say he would not refuse if it were tendered him.

HER SEAMAN AS LIFE SAVERS. While the Cruiser Was Anchored at Natchez Two Jackies Saved Two Boys From Drowning. The cruiser Naghville will not arrive in the St. Louis Harbor until May 165 or 18, according to a dispatch received by the Post-Dispatch from Washington Tuesday morning. This is several days later than the date looked forward to by the eager populace, but the delay will permit of a much more elaborate reception than the rim little warship could have been ten- ered without the extended time for prepa- ration. A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Merchants’ Exchange will be held on Wednesday afternoon, at which plans will be made for the reception of Commander Maynard's vessel. There will be a proces- sion of all the boats in the harbor to meet the Nashville below the city and a Re- ception Committee will go down the river several miles to welcome the distinguished craft and her crew of heroes. The cruiser left Natchez at 6 o'clock Tues- day morning to reach Vicksburg by night- fall. While lying at Natchez two of the cruiser’s seamen saved two boys from drowning. The lads were in a row boat which was capsized near the Nashville by the wash of a river steamer. Two jackies on the deck of the cruiser sprang over the rail and into the’ river after the boys. The lads and sailors were hauled on board the cruiser amid great cheering from visitors. EXCITEMENT IN A COURT'|: Witness in the Hercules Divorce Case Falls to the Floor—Nuns Do Not Appear. Mrs. Emma Hercules suddenly changed her mind about wanting a divorce from Charles Hercules, and when Judge Spencer repared to resume the hearing of her case uesday morning, neither she nor her at- torney appeared to seSeocess it. Judge Spencer immediately dismissed her petition for want of prosecution. He proceeded with the hearing, however, on the defendant's cross-bill, in which he charged that the plaintiff had deserted him. Judge Spencer took the case under advise- ment after a dozen witnesses had been ex- amined in behalf of the plaintiff. Frank Hercules, the defendant's brother, caused considerable excitement during the hearing by falling unconscious in the crowd of spectators, with an attack of heart disease superinduced by the unusual ex- citement of the occasion. He was carried from the room and wae soon restored. Sister Sophia and Sister Perpitna, thenuns who were summoned from 8t. Charles to testify that the defendant had taken proper care of his little boy during his illness, did not appear in court the ap A The defen- Sant 3 attorney said their evidence was not nee : MAC STEWART WILL NOT HANG. Efforts of Confederate Veterans £e- cure Commutation of Sentence. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DALLAS, Tex., April 2%.—Gen. Cc. C. Beaver and A. A. Brinsmade have returned from Mexico, where they went in behalf of Mac Stewart, the noted Confederate veter- an, who for more than a year has been un- der sentence of death at Chihuahua for killing a policeman about four years ago. ey visited the City of Mexico and Chi- huahua and held interviews with President Diaz, the Secretary of State, and OV. Ahumada, and from the latter named offi- cial procured a commutation of Stewart's sentence to life imprisonment. The man for taking whose life Stewart ts now in prison was the second he had ki'!led in Mexico. In each case the death penalty was as- sessed, but a pardon was procured for the first crime. The cases have become of national note because of the efforts of Con- federate Veterans throughout the country and the State Department at Washington, to save Stewart’s life. THEY’LL KEEP THEIR HOMES. Suit for Large Tracts in Kentucity |‘ Beaten in the Courts. Special to the Post-Dispatch. FRANKFORT, Ky., April %.—Judge Can- trell of the Franklin Circuit Court this morning decided the case of Edward Uhl of New York, against the Register of Land Office, A. J.

At Olive street the conductor came along and Willie jumped to the street. He was taken to the City Dispensary. where some bad bruises received attention. He lives with ‘his parents at the Merchants’ Hotel, Twelfth and Olive streets. How hard a mother has to coax before she can get her child to take its first step. It is just about as hard to induce a confirmed invalid, especially one suffer- ing with weakness of the lungs, to take the first step to health. There is a lack of confidence, and perhaps a crushin experience of a former failure whic depresses and discourages the sufferer. n spite of doubts and fears you will tak+ the first step to health when you take the first dose of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It never fails to help. In ninety-eight cases out of one hundred it never fails to cure. Never mind about the symptoms. Obstinate cough, bleeding of the lungs, spitting of blood, emaciation, night-sweats, condi- tions which if neglected or unskillfully treated terminate in consumption, have all been wigs 4 and rmanently cured by ‘‘ Golden Medical Discovery Sick persons are invited to conenit Dr. R.

Is it surprising that the old and time were com- of Third street. houses which, in their day mercial palaces, have ceased to command the rentals or tenants of former years, when new conditions, modern buildings, equipped with mod- ern appliances and bullt on modern lines, are being constructed elsewhere to meet the ever in- creasing demand for the greatest convenienc and economy in all lines of industry and commerce? JAMHS MAGUIRE. the assertion that residence property constructed for the purpose of yielding an income, and built with average care, prudence and intelligence, em- bracing within the walls the ordinary and neces- sary conveniences for housekeeping, yleld a better return and have done so, than stocks and bonds, during the past 26 years. Mark well, now, this does not apply to the residence built by the indi- vidual to occupy as a home; and why? Simply because when one atarte to build his own castle, for bis own eake, he consults his wife, his aister, his mother, hia aunt and all his and their rela- tions, and by the time they all get through they have a house that suita no one but themselves. They put a cozy nook here, a snuggery there, a mantle at a cost of $1000 In a $10,000 or $15,000 house. Then the plumber, and the cabinet maker, the frescoer and decorator—all bave a whirl and when they all get throngh, fully 25 per cent of the investment is absolutely wasted for any use but their own.”’ John B. Weber of Buffalo, N. Y., was in- vited to address the guests, and spoke of the Pan-American Exposition, which it was proposed to hoki in Buffalo in 1901. He told of the advantages of the city and its sur- roundings, and eee what had been done by the exposition company and what it was proposed to do. , The guests at the dinner were: Mayor Henry Ziegenbeic.
