There the wind attained the ferce and velocity of a tornado, unrooling houses, snapping telephone poles and tearing lurge branches from trees. From Vandeventér and Park avenues, the wind's main course was noriheast, though %t had materially decreased in violence by the time it reached the downtown dietrict. There a stiff gale blew for ten minutes at a maximum velocity of thiriyv-six miles per Pour. The inatruments of the Weathe: Bureau, on. top of the Federal Building, show that this Was the highest figure. ‘The Federal Puuaing was a little off the gule’s main course, and did not get the full benefit of the blow.

The Governor of Cclorado Threatens to Make Trouble for the McKin- ley Administration. Speciu]l to the Post-Dispatch, » OMATTA, Neb., May 8.—The Omaha wortn- en composing the Auxiliary Board of the Thurston Rifles, the crack Nebraska com- pany, now serving in the Philippimes, are very much exercised over the refusal of the Government to permit a certain telegram addressed -to the Rifles at Manila to be delivered. Protests are being filed at Washington and the ladies demand an investigation. Their cablegram advised the Nebraska soldiers to insist on being mustered out in Manila and not to wait to be returned. This message was held up by the military censor as dangerous, and the committee ap- pealed to Washington. The message, how- ever, Was never delivered. Another element, composed of the rela- tives of the Nebraska soldiers at the front, are equally excited over a different phase of the same situation, growing out of the statement of Edward Atkinson that he was influenced to maii his literature to the sol- diers in Manila because the NebrasKa rela- tives of the soldiers had been rétused per- mission to communicate with them and he desired to make a test case. The relatives ars denouncing this version of the situation and asserting that they can communicate and do communicate with the boys around Manila whenever they care to do so. DENVER, Colo., May 8.—Gov. Thomas has announced that within a tew aays, if President McKinley or the Secretary of War continues to ignore his communica- tions on the return of the Colorado Regi- ment from the Philippines, he will take steps with a view to securing the immedi- ate recall of the troops. “T cannot as yet say just what course I shall follow.” he said, ‘but I will exhaust every resource at my command to bring those boys home. I have tried pa peace- able means and have failed. Now, I will be obliged to resort to something more forcible and it will be made public. Of course, I do not desire to take any action at wili unjustly hamper the Admniistra- toin. for 1 am an American, but I do not propose to sit idly by and see the volun- teers from Colorado fighting and dying in the Philippines in defense of the policy which is actuating the movement of our armies abroad. “In the first place the volunteer troops They enlisted for the of the Constitution. war is over and still Spanish war.

If anything like that | pg eee they could be court-martialed and ‘punished under strict letter of-ehe law, but in that rule the military law would be placed above the Constitution of our Repubilc. WASHINGTON, May §8.—It is possible, War Department officials say, that the Governor of Colorado may be able to set the question of the right of the United States to use the volunteers in foreign service before the courts through the me- dium of habeas corpus Pater ngs. This might be done on the allegation that the volunteers are held ainst their wishes. War Department officials say it would be @asy to prove, by the orders which have been issued, that all the volunteers were perfectly free to ask for and obtain their ischarge when the treaty of peace was signed. There is no doubt, the authorities , that the Governor would lose his case if brought on this point, but regard habeas oo proceedings as the only course open WASHINGTON, May 8.—Adjutant-Gener- al “orbin did not care to discuss the Inter- view of Gov.

Has an Immense Supply of the Weeds | Sent to Him From Our New Possessions. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 8.—President Mc- Kinley is becoming as inveterare a smoker as was Gen. U. 8S. Grant. To this is at- tributed his present nervous condition. The President smokes continuously from the time he go2s into his office at 9 a.m. until he retires about midnight. Hig of- ficial visitors find him with thr, inevitable | cigar, and when the door of the Cabinet . room is opened to admit a visitor a blue | haze of tobacco smoke puffs out and Mr. McKinley is seen engaged in adding more than his equal share thereto. Since the occupation of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines admirers of the President holding commissions in the army and navy have sent him many presents of cigars. The first specimens to reach him were from Manila. They were the familiar long black cigars of that city. Almost ee ee ae officer of the army from Cu and Porto Rico has a box or two of cigars for the President. These are especially made for the Chief Execu- tive and contain the finest tobacco grown in the islands. This prodigality of supply has doubtless tempted the President to an excessive use of tobacco, which he would otherwise have | avoided. He excuses himself to a degree for his constant smoking by asserting that it has a beneficial effect upon the neuralgia with which he has recently been suffering. Mr. McKinley will leave to-night for the Virginia Hot Springs, where he will stay two weeks. He expects to be absent from the capital the greater part of the sum- | mer, public business permitting. His condition is by no means serious. WILL PROSECUTE 800 MINERS State and Federal Courts Work in Uni- son in Prosecution of Strikers 2f the Coeur d’Alenes. ' SPOKANE, Wash., May 8.—Mines of Sho- shone County, Idaho, that propose to oper- ate during the reign of martial law may do ploy members of the Coeur d'Alene Miners’ down by Gen. Merriam and Attorney Gen- eral Hayes of Idaho. The owners have promised to obey. “We are going to clean up the Coeur d’Alenes,”’ says mange age 4 Generai Hayes. ‘The miners’ union in Shoshone County contains many desperadoes and criminals, who have, under the protection of the union, perpetrated crimes and outrages. “We have undertaken as large a job of criminal prosecution as was ever begun in the history of the couptry. Trying be- tween 800 and 90 men a task of enor- mous magnitude. Prisoners will be tried in both-the State and Federal courte. Mur- der and arson are some of the charges the State will bring against these men, and we hope to infilot the extreme penalty.” | STORM WAS FATAL TO FOUR. Knox County in Texas Swept by Rain and the Brazos River Raised Out ¢f Its Banks. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DALLAS, Tex.. May 8.—A report from Benjamin, Knox County, says that a ter- rific storm with rain, approaching a water- spout, swept over the couriry: about 30 miles west of that place last Saturday even- ing and that the family of Hum.- phries, four persons were drowned by the sudden overfiow of a branch of the Brazos curred in the Pan Handle, but the section is almost without wire communication.

Your counsel describes your oflicial act as a bit of superhuman ingenuity. Well, so it was; but human found you out... Now, I think what in justice to yourself and this court the severest punishment should be meted out for the grave offense you have committed. I wil give you the limit of the law, which is eighteen months at hard la- bor in the Penitentiary.’’ Thomas was then called. ‘What have you to say?” asked Judge Adams. ‘Nothing, vour honor,”’ was the reply. “I still believe, though» you seem_ re- luetant to say so, that you are the victim of King’s shrewdness, ang after. becoming his dupe you practiced his methoas. s0 I desire to treat you mofre lenientiy than your classmate in crime?’ The Federal authoritie&’ are pleased with the conviction of King and Thomas. In nearly every instance tha bogus collection agencies have avoided usi the mails, and there are so many flaws the State law that it has almost been impossible to suc- cessfully prosecute them. Judge Krum, representing King, made a brilliant defense and confidently hoped Tor an acquittal. District Attorney Rozier gaid he did mot doubt from the start how the case would terminate, though he feels the Govern- ment has scored a signal victory. It is stated the fake eenployment agen- cies using the mails will soon come in for a share of Government attention, King and Thomas overated a collection agency with offices at rooms 36-37 Koken Building, and advertised for collectors whom they guaranteed salaries ranging from $50 to $100 a month. The applicants were required to deposit cash bond, which, 'it was shown in every instance, Thomas and King had appropriated to their own use. Many of the accounts turned over to em- ployes to collect were prowad to be ficti- tious and they were unable to earn any GRIEF CAUSED HER SUICIDE Nebraska Girl Shot Herself to Death After Hearing That Her Soldier Lover Had Fallen. BEENER, Neb., May 8.—Mary Vlash, the 16-year-old daughter of a farmer residing near this city, committed suicide while de- her soldier sweetheart, George Hoar, who fell before Caloocan while fighting with the First Nebraska. Hoar was a neighboring farm boy, and the two had attended the same country school. The sorrowing girl took her father’s shotgun and retiring to her room went to work de- liberately to prepare for her death. She re- moved one of her slippers and placing the muzzie of the gun over her heart pushed the trigger of the weapon with her toe. Death was instantaneous. The girl left a letter to her parents, say- ing she could not bear her grief -longer, and preferred death. An bour after the tragedy the girl's father returned from the postoffice bringing a letter from young Hoar, which he had written just before going into the battle in which he was killed. The letter said that he was anxious to re- turn to Nebraska, but he would never ask to be mustered -out untii the enemy had been defeated and the Nebraska regiment could return as a body, with all the hon- ors of conquerors.

WHEN DEWEY WILL COME HOME Secretary Long Says the Admiral Wi1l Stay Abroad Until His Work Is Done. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 8.—Secretary of the Navy John -D.

The startling remarks came when the bill to establish a State Board of Par- dons, introduced by. Miller in the Senate he body, was up for pas- oe ee at tive Hall eaid: demand that the author ember of the ne of Pardons. I am opposed to this b or that reason. That would simply mean that conviets with money would buy their par- dons and the fellows who have no money would not get pardons.” This seatemneit was loudly applauded. Later, while Mr. Hamilton was speaking for the bill, Mr. Kneisley eaid: “Why not cut the. salary clause out en- tirely? Won't old Miller make enough out of it without any salary” Mr. Kneisley made a longer speech at- tacking Miller. making it ! The trouble grows out of the persistent pocketing by the Senate Committee on Rail- of which Miller is chairman, of a number of important measures passed by the House. Senator Miller is serving his second term. He looks more like a parson than a Sena- tor His thair and long chin beard are gray, and his face and figure thin and an- gular. In manner he is mild and soft- spoken. He always wefirs a black frook coat, and was never known to wear a neck- Boots are.also a part of his equip- ment of clothing. Many years have passed since such direct damaging statements were made in branch of the Assembly, against of the other. Not within the memory of the oidest hanger-on at the capital has such a thing happened. The Senator is away from cne Capital at present, having been ecalied home to Worth County by illness in his family. He is expected to make vigorous reply to the atiacks on hijs character. . Rumor has it that Senator Miller has Qaeeeteees one SENATOR ELIJAH MILLER, business engagements that will keep him away most of this week. Hall's violent attack was the subject of much cqamment by Senators. Senator Wilson said jto-day: “It was a flerce thing to say ut a member of another House, I don’t know that the Senate will or can take any ac- tion and as for Senator Miller’s urse I have not the slightest idea what he will a Y do.’’ Senator Morton expressed the opinion that Senator Miller woujd probably take some action in defense of himself. hite- cotton, Hall and others of the House say Miller will do nothing worse than rise to a question of personal privilege and ‘kick a little.” The House seems disposed to tsand by Hall an accounting should be demanded.

Great crowds had gathered at Grand and Laclede avenues to see the Ringling Bros. circus tent raised. They were 6o a bed in the performance that few of them no- ticed the rapidly approaching storm until it was directly upon them. The tent was half pew and the crowd broke for its shel- er. dignant to find at every entrance a stalwart canvas man, who sternly drove them back into the rain, denying admission to every body. Later they learned why and were grateful, When the storm reached ite height, which it did within three minutes, the wind got under the great canvass, raised it to almost its full height and then burst it with a sound like that of a rifle. The small poles, that were only half-way in position, snapped asunder and a moment later the Whole tent collapsed.

MOUNT VERNON, IIL, May 8.—Attor- ney-General E. C, Akin has given an opin- ion in regard to the assessment of building and loan associations, Which, if upheld by the courts, will seri , this State ously cripple them in The ground taken by the Attorney-Gen- eral is that the notes, bonds, mortgages and stock cannot be assessed to the asso- ciation; that the stock must be listed in the name of the holder, this rule being ap- plicable not only to non-borrowers but also to shares held in pledge as security for loans. The borrower must be assessed not only on the property mortgaged, but also on the pledged shares on which his loan was secured, nor is he, says Mr. Akin, en- titled to any “‘set-off’’ or deduction against the value of his stock or on account of ey borrowed by him from the associa- on, The result of this ruling, it is held by bullding and Joan officials here, will be to force borrowers to take out straight loans from capitalists, and as the profit to the building and loan associations is derived Wholly from mortgage loans, it is held that the decrease in borrowers which is sure to follow as a result of this decision will re- duce the profits to such a low figure that capitalists will invest their money else- where.

BRIGGS SPEAKS OF THE MOD- ERN CHURCH. METHODS SHOULD BE NEW. Men Cling to Antiquated Ideas, He Says, and Never Get Near Enough to Truth to Know It. NEW YORK, May 8.—Preaching to the congregation of Holy Trinity Church, Rev. Dr. Charles A. Briggs said: “All truth is not in the sacred deposit of the church. All truth is not in the drift of tradition. He who would grow in knowl- edge must use all the talents God has given him. He should not be content to use rusty tools or antiquated methods, but use the most improved methods and all the sharp- edged toois of modern criticism and science, “Truth is God's daughter, and she muét be wooed with all one’s soul in order to be won. It is not sufficient to Listen to men’s talk about her, to look at her from afar, to learn by tradition about her and to acc:pt and retain all men’s stories and opinion concerning her. The divine wisdom is the fairest of women, According to the conception of the book of {Proverbs. “Think you that God's daughter will man- ifest herself to the idle, tae careless, the indifferent, or to those that think they know her suffic.ently well already, who are content to know of hKer.at second or third hands. “Do you think that sh’e will disclose her beautiful face and glorious form and speak her all-comforting words to a mere tradi- tionist, who is content to know about her through the transmitted formulas of a throng of generations? No, a thousand times, no. “There are those who think that the whol divine truth is known; that it was revealed to the ante-nicene church. In nothing could they be more mistaken. The church has ‘been learning in all the Chris- tian centuries, and is it ry g Revienogy The church of Christ is avoid-d cause many great problems of doctrine and life have not vet been solved. The ancient substance of truth as taught by the ancient and me- dieval church will doubtless abide, and the acquisition of truth at the reformation will not be laid aside. But with the growth in Christian knowledge, the form of the knowledge and the expression of it neces- sarily change. “We cannot know the whole truth of any doctrine until we know the whole truth of all doctrines. The new methods of study, fhe critical and scientific processes of in- vestigation, which in our times dominate all the realms of knowledge, inevitably re- quire changes in the realm of religion and theology alse. “There are men in every age who oppose the advance of the truth. ey deprecate any advance in the knowledge of the truth, anv methods of study.

Of The toll grown Christian and the full grown church will be the same essentially as the Christian babe and _ the infant church. The identity of organization and the continuity of life and character will remain in every stage of growth, but the external dress will change in size and style and mode with every real growth. Our age is an age of the most exact, painstak- ing and thorough going critical scholar- ship. Holy Scripture has been searched by critics as mever before and the result is that it stands forth before the world in its pative historical beauty, wealth and pow- er, as the holy, divine, eternal work of Me cchiner oll any historical value has been lost or impaired. The church doctrine of the Bible as defined by the church stands forth more glorious than ever. Nothing has been injured but human traditional opinions about the Bible, which have never received the sanctions of the holy church. “Tt is characteristic of the new theolozy that it beHeves in the Holy Ghost, A new age of the world is at hand, an age of love and Christian knowledge. an age i!n which the divine spirit will emite all ag- nosticism and plerce every doubt with the invincible two-edged sword of truth.

MASS MEETING IN CHICAGO. Ten Thousand Persons Attend and Op- ponents of Expansion Are De- nounced as Traitors. CHICAGO, May 8.—In all probability 10,- 000 persons gathered at the several meet- ing places in Chicago yesterday to testify to their support of the policy of the ad- ministration in the Philippines. Resolu- tions in denunciation of opposition to the war prepared for the occasion by Gen. John C. Black, were unanimously passed at each meeting. The gatherings were in the Auditorium Central Music Hall, and the First Methodist Church. The presiding officers of the three meet- ings weres Judge Oliver H. Orton, ex- Judge Barton Payne and Thomas B. Bryan. At the Auditorium, as at the other two gatherings, every mention of President Mc- Kinley or Admiral Dewey brought forth thunders of applause. The speakers at the Auditorium were Wiliam Dudley Foulke of Indiana, Bishop Samuel Fallows, Congressman Jonathan P. Dolliver of lowa, ex-Congressmen George KE. Adams, Judge Richard 8. Tuihill and the Rev. P. S. Henson. Most of these also spoke at the vther meetings. The resolutions recite in part: “First: We recognize that a zondition of war prevails in the Philippine Islands be- tween the Government of tne United States and certain men who are in iusurrection against the lawful authority of the United States. ‘‘In the Philippine Islands, with the ex- ception of a single year, Spanish sov- ereignty has been complete since the Six- teenth Century. Spain collected the taxes, held the fortifications, appointed all the civil officers, Spanish Viceroys, Spanish Judges. Spanisn courts administered the laws, which were proclaimed by the Span- isi Governor and enforced by the Spanish army and navy. The sudden destruction of the sovereignty compelled the subetitution of the sovereignty of the conquerer. No other Government in the archipelago was competent to receive the authority weurven- dered by Spain. to surrender the islands to anarc!iy oT to foreign and selfish intervention. Neither course was compatible with duty or with the dictates of humanity. “We recognize and declare the facts to be that from the thirteenth day of August, 1898, until the fourth day of February, 1899, peace prevailed in Manila under the pro- tection of American arms; that on the day last named an insurgent force assailed cur army in its fortifications and encampments under the cover of darkness and by this act of aggression inaugurated ‘hostilities the first result of which was intended to be wholesale massacre and the destruction of property within the city. “We recite with sorrow the fact that the chief encouragement has been from some of our misguided fellow-citizens, and to them must be ascribed much of the blood- shed and ruin which ‘has followed. “Second: We declare our belief in the high honor and just aotion of our army and navy in the Phitippine Islands. We believe that our Government has taken every step that it should take to secure peace and or- der. We believe that the administration representing the Government has highly and fully discharged its duty in the prem- ises. We consider it our part to share the burdens of our Government rather than to embarrass its efforts and thus prolong the conflict of arms. “Third: We know that at this very hour our soldiers in arms are face to face with an armed foe; and until the close of hos- tilities we know only our country, its arms and navy, and its executive. We pledge ‘to them while our flag shall be in battle aur unfaltering support. “Fourth: We as Americans take pride in the achievements of our army and navy, both in the war with Spain and in the present military operations in the Island of Luzon. We believe that the sending of seditious appeals to the American troops engaged in hostilities is an act of treason- abie character, and that every appeal to them to abandon their colors or disregard their duty as soldiers merits the lasting condemnation of every partiot. “Fifth: The Government or the United States should be, and we believe will be, true to its principles in the disposition of all questions that may arise in the future in our relationship with the people of the Philippine Islands. “Sixth: We regard the great issue of the hour to be the success of oyr country in the performance of the dutw which it owes to civilization.

The New York Grand Jury Thinks Testimony Is Insufficient. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 8—The Post-Dispatch has received information indicating that the grand jury will not present an indict- ment against Roland B. Molineaux, who stands accused of the murder of Mrs. Kate J. Adams by poison. a The grand jury is composed of 23 mem- bers. Col. William C. Church, a member of the Loyal Legion, is foreman. The law prescribes that not less than 12 members must vote for an nidictment if one is to be found. It is said by those who claim to know that up to this time, in view of the testi- mony presented against Molineaux, not more than nine members are in favor of re- indicting him. Should the grand jury fail to indict, Lawyers Weeks and Battle have decided to ask for the discharge of their client at once. It is expected the grand jury will conclude the testimony ‘before the end of the week. ; In case the grand jury should indict, Messrs. Weeks and Battle will again apply for permission to imspect the minutes. Mr. Battle formerly was an assistant district attorney in charge of the grand jury, and, probably, is one of the greatest experts in this country on drawing indictments. Lawyers say he easily can find a loop- hole in the indictment, as he did in the previous one. $8.00 to Louisville, Ky., And return, via Air Line, May 8 to 12. Good returning 15 days.

THE aneat THURSDAY O vee POST-DISPATCH FOR THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS HAS CARRIED 24% More Paid Locaf Advertising THAN BOTH THE OTHER EVENING PAPERS COMBINED. WHY? BECAUSE.IT 1S THE SHOPPER'S RECOGNIZED GUIDE, 2 Oe IT CAN BE DONE. The Post-Dispatch’s suggestion that franchise taxation could be accomplished in the revision of the tax statutes, was in- dorsed by legislative experts in yesterday’s Jefferson City dis- patches. If Senator Young anda majority of the Judiciary Committee refuse to report a franchise tax bill; if the Senate fails to take up any bill, the subject may .be brought before the Sen- ate in the revision report. Here is an opportunity for the House, which is almost unani- Le mous in support of franchise taxation, to do a good stroke of work for the people. Let the House insert the franchise tax amendment in the revised chapter on taxation and send it to the Senate, “he State needs the franctrise tax. “It‘ts a’ just’tax on the’ franchise-owners. It removes a gross injustice to the un- ‘ptivileged citizens who now bear the'tax burdens. ~ If the State Fenate represents the people it will pass a franchise tax measure. If it is controlled by the corporation . tax-dodgers, the people want to know who are the lobby’s Senatorial allies. Beginning the week with a subscription to the World’s Fair is the best start a citizen of St. Louis can maka ~~ we ww v SMOKE NUISANCE AND HEALTH. “The State’s Duty,’ which is waging a vigorous war on ‘the smoke nuisance in St. Louis, calls attention to the fact that in Chicago much of the smoke pest has been abolished, but adds: “From early noon until late at night St. Louis has this disagreeable disease breeding pest.” A consensus of opinion on the part of physicians would undoubtedly uphold the idea that a smoky atmosphere is detrimental to health. St. Letiis people who work down town but reside in the ‘@uburbs. find tnat they have better appetites on Sundays when they are outside the smoke cloud. They find that “when they bring their families down town, young and old ~lose the vigorous appetites they had at home. They discover that the boys and girls 'who get work in offices also dis- _“pidy the same symptoms. A great deal of this is owing to the poisoned atmosphere, . which not only injures the circulatory system, but depresses » the spirits. Let us have a good smoke abatement law and then let all good citizens aid in its enforcement. ha, Ai i -" a i The April business failures were the smallest that have ever been known since records by months began. Certainly this is encouraging even to those whose disposition is to be pes- eimistio, i -=— = _—=_— = THE TRANS-SISERIAN RAILROAD. The completion of the Siberian Railroad, an account of which is given in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, will be a most} imporiant event. Of course the road is primarily a State undertaking for ‘military purposes, but its significance as a commercial de- velopment cannot be overrated. It opens up an immense country, ¢wice as large as the Unfted States, to civilization, and insures its settlement by a capable, sturdy race: In resources it is practically boundless and needs only the industry of man to make it a command- ing factor in the world of trade. When this road is opened the Pacific Ocean will become as interesting to the United States as the Atlantic, commercially speaking. The Fast and West will meet at San Francisco and the great Western sea will be the theater of strife between the great trading nations. Such developments, usually brought about quietly and in- conspicuously are much more important to humanity than the military operations which so absorb attention. For sooner or later the white flag of commerce will replace the battle flag and men will strive to excel in the arts of peace rather than in those of war. Whatever may be the Czar’s design in ‘building the road, he is like most real workers, building wiser than he knows. _ The nation, the State and the city will all be benefited by the World’s Fair of 1903. There has been a great growth since the Chicago Exposition and the new exhibition must necessarily far surpass the Chicago display. Every dollar contributed to the fair fund will be an aid to human progress ~—a contribution to the general welfare. = = THE VALUE OF FRANCHISES, A striking llustration of the value of municipal franchises is the growth of the fortune of:Mr. Charles T. Yerkes from $40,000 in 1886 to $12,000,000 in 1899, Thirteen years ago Mr. Yerkes went to Chicago with his few thousands anq put them into street rallways. Franchises were readily granted him. He got what he wanted for little or nothing. Aad now he retires to New York to enjoy ‘the ~niaa which the people of Chicago generously bestowed upon im. : * s . © nw 4 * . 4 , ¥ 4 F r us » s - J ‘ © : i . ° ep be - : ’ The value of franchises measures the public interest in | to the investor, and he is entitled to the highest profit he can make on it. But the value of a, fran- chise is due to the monopoly grant of the use of streets and the presence of the population which must use the street cars. The frapchise is a grant of the use of public prop- erty to a privute person. How much that use is worth Mr. Yerkes’ vast fortune will tell, for a smal] part of his $12,000,- Ovv is the earnings of his capital. Under any sane system this public value would not all £0 into private pockets. A libera! percentage, at least, should be rescrved to the municipal treasury. This can be accom- plished by taxing the franchise. The reckless grants of val- uable privileges without compensation cannot be defended on any ground of principle, expediency or common sense. __ = 4 In advertising the Sunday Post-Dispatch yesterday gained just 25 columns over the corresponding Sunday last year. The Sunday Glube-Democrat gained 16 columns, and the Sun- day Republic gained 3 columns. In wants advertising the Sun- day Post-Dispatch also showed the greatest gain, carrying 22 columns more of this business than the Republic carried. In addition to this, the Sunday Post-Dispatch gave its subscrib- ers nearly two -ages more reading matter than any other Sun- day paper. = = * THE ANTI-TRUST CONVENTION. An anti-trust convention of Governors and Attorney-Gen- erals of Western States will be called by Gov. Sayers of Texag to meet about June 15. The purpose of this convention will be “to discuss and agree upon a concerted and effective policy and line of legisla- tion against trusts and monopolies.”’ This is the right way to get at the question. If some com- mon plan can be agreed upon by a considerable number of States the trusts will have a hard fight for existence. If the Western States enact identical, or practically identical, legisla- tion, the monopolies will probably come to terms. A com- bine of corporations, however strong it isin brains and capital, is no match for a combine of States. But whatever the outcome may be in actual legislation, the discussions in the convention will throw a flood of light on the question. Denunciation of trusts yields no fruit. Only by sober analysis of the whole problem and careful deliberation concerning a mode of procedure, can the people deal effectively with the great evil which is threatening the very life of the nation. > = |] = St. Louisans cannot feel that the World’s Fair is assured until every dollar of the $5,000,000 stock allotted to the city is subscribed. No organization will be effected until that amount is in hand. Citizens and representatives of St. Louis interests stand in the way of the success of the World's Fair as long as they fail to subscribe according to their means. If there is delay or failure the laggards will be responsible. Let the work he finished and the announcement go to the world that St. Louis has done her full part. i ae A NEW ORLEANS EXPERIMENT. The recent Constitutional Convention of Louisiana confers the right of suffrage upon all tax-paying women in cases of questions submitted to taxpayers. The first election to be held under this provision is upon a proposed tax levy for sewerage -and drainage in New Orleans. There are 10,000 taxpaying women in that city and the Mayor and other officials are urging them to vote for the levy. This is an experiment likely (to be imitated in other States and cities. Women are influential in municipal affairs even with their present disabilities. But this can be multiplied if they arc enabled to exercise their power directly through the ballot. St. Lovis especially needs such an element in public affairs. Mr. Atkinson must think himself a great man when the Ad- ministration is frightened into suppressing his opinions on expansion. If Mr. McKinley were not seeking a second term it is scarcely likely that any official notice would be taken of the Atkinson pamphlets. Certainly a just caus@ could not be much injured by anything that Atkinson could write. Why should politics always be mixed with affairs that should be free from partisan interests? Speaker Reed spread sedition and treason on his way to Europe... When an English tourist, interrupting Croker’s ex- pansion talk, said there had been 57 “hold-ups” in Chicago in four days, Mr. Reed said: ‘Yet, strange as it may seem, this is the civilization which the Filipinos refuse to accept. How blind these savages are to the beauties of good govern- ment!’ = = *% — — em The Rev. Sam Jones will have to be arrested for “sedition.” He has just declared in Kentucky: “This government keeps up two sgaloon3 for each house of Congress in the national capital, where the members can guzzle to their hearts’ con- tent. The United States Government has sold out to the liquor trade and is run by a pack of damnable red-nosed politicians.” “To notify a debtor of an obligation in a respectful manner on a postal card is not held to be a violation of tthe law,” says Judge Adams. This is a correct conclusion. A _ notification of the amount of a bill is often a convenience to the debtor as wel: as to the creditor. a s & i ae With transatlantic zinc mines giving out, every Missouri zinc mine becomes more valuable. Mr. McKinley’s great sagacity in causing the exhaustion of foreign mines is almost as con- spicuous as his skill in bringing about a shortage of the Euro- pean food crops. It is very embarrassing to the Administration to be criti- cised, but so long as we retain our present form of government the American citizen will be likely to say what he thinks of what is going on at Washington. The packing industry is one of Chicago’s principal industries, but street car packing is nota sourcaof pride. The companies will have to content themselves with smaller dividends. Gen. Alger’s approval of Chicago’s scheme for poisoning the people of Illinois and Missouri ought to be easy after his work in feeding the army with embalmed beef. = = " The President must indeed be highly pleased at the report of his whitewashing court of inquiry. He knew perfectly . well beforehand just what it would be. i i i. ee a The rotten War Department is well nigh as odorous as the embaimed beef it served to our soldiers in the tropics. ———"——_ - -#e _— No St. Louisan in Europe should be slighted in making up the World’s Fair fund. -— = - ee POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. Trusts and glot machines die hard, Why should the Legislative grist depend so much upon Miller? The outfits will have fits if Missouri gets a non-partisan census, If the Atkinson pamphlets were to be wigwagged from every warship in the Philippines, this country would still be safe, ‘ Postmaster-General Smith will have to hustle and see that Dr. Preetorius’ German-American utterances do not reach our army in the Philippines. If the administration suppresses the letters of Nebraska parents who write to their sons in the army, Mr. McKinley's re-election is doubtless aseured. Grumblers over a belated spring in Missouri are a little ashamed when they read that railroad tracks in Colorado have just been cleared of snow 12 feet deep. The musical clubs are going to sing as certainly as was Miss Birdie ANendale. The expressions published in the Sunday Post- Dispatch leave no doubt of this.

Uncertain as the rifts Of light that lie along the sky— They may not be here by and by. Give them not only love, but more above, And barder—patience with the leve.’’ ADVICE TO MOTHERS. How long should the baby wear the band? What should be the night clothing of a child during the first summer? Where the baby has been brought up on condensed milk, would it do any harm to change for a baby food? If bot, what would you recommend ? MOTHER. The flannel band, not fastened too tight, is a help to an infant all through the first year, preventimg colds in stomach and bow- els by preserving an even temperature. At night a loose gown with the band under- neath, and looge woolen socks. Better than any prepared food is the milk of one cow, scalded and,then diluted with a _ third Water, enough sugar to taste and a pinch of galt.

Usually a drink of water, taken slowly, Or a little sugar dissolved in the mouth, Please tell me a drink of aniseed water in which five grains of calcined magnesia 5 dissolved with a little syrup to sweeten. What is a good remedy for thrush! in a baby's mouth ? F. BE. G. The best local remedy is honey of bo- rax, which should be smeared on with the finger. Change of air to the country is often effective as a cure. In very bad | cases consult a doctor. BABY’S EYDS.—That babies and little children are troubled with weak eyes is a great source of uneasiness to young moth- ers. Frequently the fault is their own. A white parasol may be pretty, but its effect on the baby’s eyes is alarming. In choosing a parasol cover be careful that whatever color the outside may be, the in- side must be dark—preferably green. If baby is not made the victim of a white cover it is probable that his eyes will not trouble him. WASHING BABY’S HPAD.+—A child's hair should be washed every two weeks, at least. A good shampoo and a simple one is made as follows: Melt a cake of pure olive oil) soap in a quart of boiling water. When the soap is dissolved the result will be almost a jelly. Take of this jelly, say, two large tablespoonfuls, and a small lump of com- mon washing soda about the size of a fil- bert. First wet the hair thoroughly with hot water, then rub the shampoo mixture well into the roots. Ringe thoroughly in several waters, Then carefully dry. will stop hiccoughs.

Both teams put up a magnificent game of ball. The Reds were at their best Sun- day. They played fast and hard and it Was a great blow to lose the game. The three runs they scored were in the first inning, but after that their batting was very poor, St. Louis played an errorless game.

Special to the Poet-Dispatch. DENVER, May 7.—According to Otto C. Floto, manager of the Colorado Athletic Club, the artciles of agreement by which the Jeffries-Fitzsimmons fight is to take place in Denver, are now en route to this city from New York. Floto, at the last moment, did not go to New York, but completed his arrangcments with Julian and Brady by telegraph. Floto, in a long interview with the Post- ot. correspondent this morning said: “That the Fitzsimmons and Jeffries con- test will take place in Denver under the auspices of the Colorado Athletic Associa- tion ie now almost an assured fact. “Negotiations have been in progress for @ week or more. There are always in a contest of this kind many little detatis to arrange and obstacles to overcome ‘hat re- quire time and careful consideration. The vast sum of money at stake and the magni- tude of the attraction called for the most cautious movements in everything pertain- ing to the affair. “It was not until last night that mat- ters really came to a focus. After the exchange of many telegrams between Messrs. Brady, Julfan and myself in rela- tion to the purse conditions of the con- test and the financial responsibility of the club, a telegram wae ranean that the articles were sent by express last night for the signatures of the club officials. "The articles will in all probability arrive Monday, and if they meet with the ap- proval of the Colorado Athletic Association, as I have every reason to believe at the present writing they will, they will be signed and returned to New York and the contest ‘will take place in De r. Few people realize what gigantic un- dertaking this contest is. It requires the immediate outlay of at least $60,000 in cold cash and days of labor in arranging all the details. The arena of the Colorado Ath- letic Association will not he used, as it will be entirely too small to accommodate the vast crowd that will be in attendance. An ampitheater with a seating capacity cf from 15,000 to 20,000 people will be erected at some Place yet to be selected. Where that place will be the association has not at present even the remotest idea. No sites have as yet been selected or even suggested; neither thas there been a date selected or suggested. All these matters will be ar- ranged after the articles are signed. ‘This is probably the biggest public event ever undertaken in Denver, not even ex- cepting the Knights Templar conclave. A very large sum of money will be brought to Denver, and what is more, will be left poe ly Myr club is a ont enterprise.

THE CIRCUS. PARAD —_ GREAT CROWD TURNED OUT TO SEE THE FREE SHOW. MOUNTED POLICE IN FRONT. The Line of March Was About Five Miles Long and the Procession Nearly One Mile. The Ringling Bros. Circus parade was the chief incident of public interest in St. Louis Monday morning. It was a pageant worth seeing, and thowsands availed themselves of the opportunity. The sidewalks along the line of march were crowded and from every window were stuck as many heads as could find room. Two elderly men met Sunday and one aeked the other if he intended to see the oircus turn out in the morning. “Tut, tut,” was the reply. ‘Never bother with such things. But my children will be there all right.’’ “Same case here,’ retorted the second man. “I'll be busy at 10 o’clock to-morrow.” They met at Broadway and Olive Monday just as the parade was passed. For a few seconds they said not a word. Then one of them commenred on the coincidence that they should have secn the parade after all. The parade started promptly from the show grounds at Grand and Laclede ave- nues, at 9 o'clock and moved over a route nearly five miles in length. At the head was a cordon of mounted poitce and following closely in carriages were the Ringling brothers. Then came a big band wagon with more musicians than is found in the ordinary orchestra. Shetland ponies and horses of all sizes, colors and varieties came next. Each wae ridden by a neatly attired man. A bronze painted wagon about five feet high and 15 feet long attracted considerable attention. Exactly what it contained no one could see, but through a small screen several animals were visible. It reminded one o€ the sideshow man’s cry: © ‘Alive! Al:ve! Alive! On the inside!”’ Several bands of music separated the various divisions, and patriotic and popular airs were played. There are 6 young women in the show and over 240 male performers, all of whom were mounted on horseback. The parade was over a mile and a half in length and there were a hundred features to it that called forth admiration. It moved along without a hitch and showed the fine discipline that obtains in a modern circus. It was 11 o’clock when the procession ‘re- turned to the show grounds. At that hour everything was in readiness for the after- noon performance. THEY’RE GOING TO THE “CIRCUS” Post-Dispatch Newsboys Will Attend in a Body To-Night. “I'm goin’ to th’ coicus, I’m goin’ to the coicus,”’ san ga little fellow as he hopped up and down Post-Dispatch alley, waiting for the afternoon paper to come out. ‘“‘So’m I, so’m I,”’ chorused several hundred boys; gathered there for the same purpose. And around the various circulation branches of the Post-Dispatch the same glad tiding was being shouted. Hardiy anything has been talked about by the newsboys for two days except the intention of the Post-Dispatch to send its 2000 newsboys to Ringling Bros.’ circus Monday night. There is not the slightest doubt but that every single one of this number will be on hand when the grounds at Grand and Laclede avenues are reached. Going to the circus is the supreme joy of a boy’s life, and when this ts done in state, when a procession is formed, with regular policemen on big horses at the head, why the boy’s cup of bliss is over- flowing and there is nothing left on earth that he wishes. This will be the lot of the Post-Dispatch newsboys, and it will be a time to be ogg with a white stone in their mem- ories. It was noticeable Monday morning when the big street parade passed that certain of the thousands of boys who viewed it looked on with an air of proprietorship. These were the fortunate ones who knew they would see all the delights again in the evening. One yyeee philosopher standing on the corner of Broadway and Washington avenue had evidently missed seeing a por- tion of the parade, for a companion called out: “Say, Jimmy, look at de marks in the warin ‘* a replied Jimmy, “I'll see ’em to- n So nd so he will, and 1999 of his associates who will march to the grounds, preceded by a platoon of police and a band.

Trouble Between Miss Gassman aid Her Husband Alleged to Be the Cause of the Abduction. Josephine Gassman lost her pickaninnies Sunday and in consequence there was much worriment, some tears, a little laughter and a good deal of forcible language in and around the Columbia Theater. Miss Gassman is one of the bright par- ticular lights of Hopkins’ Trans-Oceanic Stars, who began an engagement at the Co- lumbia Sunday. She does a black face act, the most striking feature of which has been the introduction of two tiny colored chil- dren, a boy and a girl who did a cake walk and other amusing things supposed to come natural to the colored urchin. When Miss Gassman arrived in St. Louis she took rooms at the Planters’ and sent the “picks” to Lulu Johnéon, who lives at 1337 Gay etreet, and is employed as a maid at the Columbia. At 2 o'clock Lulu started with the chil- dren to the theater. As they neared the Stage door on St. Charles street, a carriage drew up to the curb and a colored woman seated in it called the pickaninnies. They recognized her as their mother and 6cram- bled into the carriage. She spoke to the driver and he drove rapidly away, leaving Imjlu Johnson full of alarm and surpriee. She ran into the theater and notified the Stage Manager and Manager Fulgora of the Trans-Oceanic Company that the chil- dren had been abducted. Manager Tate was sent for: then Miss Gassman was notified. She and Mr. Ful- gora divined at once at whose instigation the children had ‘bean stolen. Miss Gassman has a husband, Frank E. Turner, who acted as her personal repre: sentative and traveled with the company He and Miss Gassman quarreled and sepa rated in San Francisco. He arrived in St. Lcuis early last week and visited the Co- lumbia Theater several times, making in- quiries as to ‘when the Trans-Oceanics would arrive. He said nothing about his quarrel with his wife, but as son as the company came the people around the thea- ter knew that Miss Gassman ‘had dismissed her rotector. ‘There'll be trouble before the week’s over,’ said one wise man, and in less than 1) minutes the abduction had taken place. Miss Gassman almost had hysterics and said she could not appear witheut the —picks.”” Manager Fulgora soothed her and Manager Tate pleaded with her, and she y wee consented to gio on and do what she Qa, Turner called at the theater and saw her in her dressing room. He asked her to re- turn to him. She refused. She stated, after the performance, that Turner treated her so badiy she had to Separate from him; t'@t she gave him $1000 and promised him half of her earnings in ‘Los Angeles and St. Louis if he- would agree not to annoy her. Turner does not deny that he induced Mrs. Fila Walker to take the children. He claims that the originated the idea of using them in Miss Gassman’s act and that he desired to keep them and put them with ancther performer: He denies that he is Miss Gassman’s husband, but he has been so regarded for several years. His father lives in Washington, D. C., and he has a brother on the Bast Side, who is a follower of the races, Miss Gassman says ehe has two other pickaninnies in view and that the loss of the Walker children will not injure her ma- terially. PROBATIONARY POLICEMEN. They Will Go Before the Assembly With a Petition. The probationary patrolmen, who were recently laid off because the Municipal As- sembly refused to make an appropriation for their salaries, met at the Seventh Dis- trict Station Sunday to arrange a plan for procuring their reinstatement, if possible. John W. Shilven presided and L. J. De- laney acted as secretary. The hostility existing between the NMunic- ipal Assembly and the Police Department was discussed at length and it was finul:y determined that the discharged patrulmén should. go before the Municipal Assenibly at its next meeting and present a petition, rraying that body to make the appropria- tion asked by the Police Department, s9 that they may be reinstated in their old positions.

A Persistent and Costly Fire Near Third and Chestnut, The third and fourth floors of the Dbufld- ing at 314 Chestnut street, occupied by the American Tent and Awning Co., were al- most entirely destroyed by fire at midnight Sunday. The damage to the building ts estimated at $6000, while the loss on the stock will considerably exceed that sum. The fire originated in the rear of the third floor from an unknown cause. It was seen by the employes of a German news- paper, who turned in an alarm Fifteen gr ese and the Salvage Corps responded to the alarm and, after a long fight, ex- tinguiehed the flames.

Every Railroad Is Running Excursion Trains and the City Is Prepared to Accommodate the People. — This will be a gay and notable week in St. Louls—a season of spring festivities that will be long remembered. The first event in point of importance will be: the visit of the cruiser Nashville. Ghe is due here Wednesday morning and will attract hundreds of thousands of peo- ple to the city. Never before has a modern warship came up the river as far as St. Louis. The Nashville will be the first fight- ing vessel a great many people living here ever saw. Then there is Ringling’s Circus. It began the festivities of the week by a parade Monday morning, and will give two per- formances daily. Friday the Sunday-school children’s May festival, postponed from last Saturday, wiil be heid. There will be a grand street parade before the children go to the Fair Grounds, Twice as many floats will be in the procession as there were in the Veiled Prophet's pageant. Saturday the racing season at the Fair Grounds opens and a vast crowd will as- semble to see the inaugural run. Only three theaters will be open all the week—the Columbia, Havlin’s and the Standard—but they all have attractions caiculated to please. Special \excursion trains will be run over every railroad entering St. Louis and such another spring crowd has never been seen in St. Louis as may be expected during the next six days. Hotel men have seen the signs of the times and are prepared to en- tertain many more than the usual number of guests. The street faker also has his weather eye out and has already begun to appear in force on the business streets. he Missouri Funeral Directors’ Associa- tion, representing over members, will begin its fifth annual gathering Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock at Masonic Hall, Seventh and Market streets. New officers will be elected and the embalming science and its progress will be discussed. The local coffin manufacturers will entertain the visitors with a banquet Tuesday evening at the Mercantile Club. Wednesday even- ing there will be a theater party. People who have never attended a conven- tion of funeral directors may fancy that such an affair has no place in a list of fes- tivities, but the initiated know that the undertakers are the jolliest fellows alive. AT THE PLAYHOUSES. “The Jilt’’ was presented Sunday by the Grand Opera House Stock Company as a benefit to Manager Giffen. As the play will not be reveated before the company leaves St. Louls a review of it can have no value in the way of advising people to see it, bur the work of the company was too good to pass. -unnoticed There were several changes in the caste from that in which the stock company originally appeared. Miss Minnie Kadcliffe had Miss Seliginan’s pat of Kittle Woolstceck; Mr. Hamilton carried tne role of (‘ol Tudor which George Den- ham had; Mr. Herbert Carr took Mr. Ham- ilton’s Place as Sir Marcus Wylie, and Mal- colm Williams played Geoffrey Tudor in place of Mr. Siubbs, who was cast for the butler. Miss Keimer, Miss Scott, Miss Closser, Mr. Bosworth, Mr. Maher and Mr. Emery had their old roies. And how good they all were! Miss Reimer, Miss Scott and Mr. Williams did the imaginary race scene with such spirit that they brought joo of enthusiasm to the eyes of many. Mr. Wil- liams had only one rehearsal, but no one would have suspected it Miss Ratcliffe did the hest work the writer has seen her do. To his mind she is a better Kittie Wood- stock than has heen seen here. Mr. Maher's Myles ©’Hara was ag good as ever and we all remember what a fine bit of work it was duruig the first. wcek the company played here. It was Mr. Cerr’s first ap- pearance with the stock company. He is an excellent actor, as any one can testify who saw him play Tuffy in ‘‘Prilby.’’ “The Lottery of Love’ will be given by the stock company. this evening for the benefit of Hobart Besworth. Tuesday night “A Bacheior’s Romance’’ will be given for the benefit of Miss Scott and Mr. Maher. Wednesday the company will leave for Den- ver. Miss Radcliffe will go with the others, having been selected to succeed Miss Selig- man as leading woman. (Miss Closser wii! remain in St. Leuis as a member of the Gus Weinberg and Malcolm William Stock Compiny at Ubhrig’s Cave. By the way, Gus Weinberg did his German specialty between the second and third ucts of “:The Jilt’’ Sunday with great suc- cess. Hopkns’ Trans-Occanic Stars began ap engagement at the Columbia Sunday. Ow- ing to the spiriting away of Josephine Gassman’s pickannies, which is told of in another column, her specialty was not what it, would have been, but she was generously applauded. The Panes Was opened by Wilson and isester, who sang and actea “‘My Creole Sue,”’ and several other love songs. Miss Leicester is a daughter of Attorney Everett W. Pattison. The spe- cialty was well received. The Le Page sisters are two featherweight dancers who make several marvelously quick changes of costume, Charley Case, a monologue artist, says many clever things and sings in a lugubricysly funny -style. Waterbury Brothgs play"on sundry instruments while their partner, Tenney, makes fun for the audience. Polk and Kollins are billed as kings of the banjo, and they de play with great skill, but they keep it up so long the audience gets frightfully bored. Kara is a good juggler as jugglers £0, and the Wally Judges are expert acrobats. It ie a g00d show for those who like vaudeville. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” as presente . John F. Stowe, a relative of ym saines pe the book, is the bill at “Havlin’s. The old story js told with effect by a capable com- pany. The management has put on @ number of specialties that relieve the overcharged emotions of the tender-hearted auditors. There is a panorama of the destruction of the Maine, also a drill by colored infantry- men, pictures of the naval heroes, good singing, a cakewalk and much dancing. The company carries its own orchestra and band —the latter being reserved for street pa- rades and dally concerts. It was intended to give daily matinees during the engage- ment, but Monday the plan was abandoned. The only matinees will be on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Whether Manager Butler ponpeewy saved the best for the last cannot be definitely stated, but Standard Theater patrons say that the show given by Fred Rider's Night Owls is in every detail satisfactory. There are the customary opening and closing bur- lettas, with a good olio between. Vito- graph pictures of a bull fight in Spain, the battleship Oregon in motion and infantry fighting aroused great enthusiasm. ‘“‘Forget-Me-Not” will be given to-night at the Imperial Theater for the benefit of Miss ‘Minnie Seligman. Lawrence Hanley, Miss Louise Closser and Gus Winberg will be in the cast. . Miss Rose Flynn will have a benefit at the Olympic Theater to-night. The per- formance will open with S spqeoh by Mayor Ziegenhein. Miss Flynn and Malcolm Will- jams will then present the balcony scene from “Romeo and Juliet."’ There will be special features by Pearl Hyman, Sheridan and Flanagan, Will J. Baker, Gus Wein- Edward Gus Weinberg will thhave a benefit Wed- nesday afternoon and evening at the Im- perial Theater.

The second fire within two days com- pletely destroyed the interior of the Trin- idad Asphalt Co.’s plant at 320-324 South Twenty-first street Monday morning at 5 o'clock, The ignition occurred’on the second floor of the manufacturing department, presum- ably from an overheated saturating kettle. This machine is employed to coat burlap with a material largely composed of liquid asphaltum, which is then used for roof- lug purposes. 7 The private watchman, King Day, s_1w the flames as he was making his rounds and eng meg | turned in a etill alarm. But the fire gained rapidly and—thersa be- ing some delay in the sponse, owing to a mistake—had consumed the greater portion of the top story ve- fore water was thrown on it. Mr. W. P. Whitmore, the superintendent, residing directly across the stree‘, saw the flames almost simultaneously with Duy. He only waited long enough to throw on a few clothes, but when he reached the scene, five minutes later, the damage was already over the $10,000 mark, so quick was the spread. Not only was the rapidity of the fire remarkable, but so was the extreme heat. A large composition grindstone used for the finer tools, blew up with a loud report. A large tank filled with solid asphalt to be melted, which requires a high temperature, overflowed with the HMquid in consider- ably less time than this work usually takes. The Trinidad Company nas a large two- story and basement building, in the form re department's re- of a square, with one end open. On the right hand side is the office, and only the large, intervening roadway prevented this from catching. One side is used for manu- facturing and as a storehouse. The 6éc- ond floor was filled with 2000 rolls of as- phalt fireproof roofing, valued at $3 per roll. All of these were so badly charred that they are practically valueless. A large 75 horsepower motor, with other expensive machinery, was converted into nk. On the first floor of the same building was placed between 50 and 7% tons of asphalt felt, worth $25 per ton. This stuff was also — to have been rendered unmarketa- a. The rear of the office suffered heavily. A large reduction tank was destroyed, and with it 75 barrels of liquid material, val- ued at $10 per barrel. The roof fell in; a special portion of it upon which a large varnish tank stood, by a peculiar freak, was left standing. This was fortunate, for had the flames communteated to it, serious results would ‘have followed, its composition being very combustible. Altogether, the interior of the structure was completely gutted, those parts which escaped the flames being injured by the falling debris, which piled up to a great height. The damage to both stock and buildings, the wall of which are still good, will approximate perhaps $25,000, fully cov- ered by insurance. This concern is an ftndependent corpora- tion, which handles the product of the New York concern. The officers are: C. W. 8 Cobb of the Glencoe Lime and Cement Company, president; H. L. Block of the Union Sand Company, vice-president; F. W. Terpening, secretary and manager, and J. Scott Porter, treasurer. Friday's fire was small, doing but $1000 damage to the storage tanks, the asphalt being unhurt, as no fire of less than 700 heat degrees affect it. Mr. F. W. Terpening thought the con- flagration ‘had originated in the manner stated and declared that it would in no way interfere with the progress of their @usiness, as the firm has an enormous ware- house on the railroad tracks. The oompany has important city paving contracts which the manager etates will in no wise be interfered with or delayed. WILLIAMS BOND DOUBLED, Ex-Detective Charged With Murder Admitted to Bail in the Sum of $20,000. Pix-Detective Jack Williams entered the office of Chief Deputy Sheriff Pohlman at the Four Courts at 9:30 o’clock Monday morning and gave himeelf up. He was wanted on an indictment for mur- der in the first degree. His attorneys went before Judge John A. Tolty, who took bond for $20,000 with Edward Butler as the surety. Williams was under a $10,000 bond to ap- pear in the Court of Criminal Correction, May iL When he gave himself up he was taken to the City ary | to be examined before being placed in jail. While he was absent his attorney, Judge Harvey, made applt- cation for bail. Judge Tolty, in granting ba!!, said: “Tho grand jury could do nothing else than to find an indictment fue erties in the first degree. I have read the tran- script from the Coroner’s office, and find that there are conflicting statements. The province of the court is not to punish a man until he is convicted of a crime. The object of a bond is to insure that the de- fendant will be on hand when he is wanted for trial. I am satisfied with Mr. Butler as a bondsman and feel that the defendant will not default. The fact that he surrendered himself when he was out on a $10,000 bond is evidence that he will be here.’’ Williams said that he was absent on a fishing trip and as soon as he saw in the newspapers that he was wanted he re- turned. em CATHOLIC CONVENTION.
