he | GEN. MILES WILL NOT CRITICISE : THE PRESIDENT. SAYS HIS DUTY IS DONE. The General Was Actuated Solely by Considerations of the Health of the Army, Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 9.—“The President ié Commander-in-Chief of the Army and my superior, He has approved the findings of the Wade Court of Inquiry. Therefore, I have no comment to make. It would be an unsoldierly act were I to do so.” Gen. Miles thus replied to a reporter who aeked him what action he would take in view of the adverse report. “Will you formulate a protest to the Pres- ident?” was the next question. “No. sir.” replied the General. “Will you inspire a congressional investi- gation?”’ “No, sir.” “Do you believe Congress will rectify the matter?’ “IT do not know what Congreés will do, nor have I any means of knowing in advance what verdict an investigation might deve!- op. I have no comment, criticism or state- ment to make in this matter, and you may take it as certain that any alleged inter- views or intimatione to the contrary said to come from me or near me are wholly and unqualifiedly false. “T was and am row actuated solely by the ’ eonelideration of the health, lives and in- ' tegrity of the army. My duty is done.” Inquiry was made as to the status of the officers criticised and what course they might pursue. It was stated that as a mil- - {tary legal proposition it was impossible for any action to be taken by the officers ag- ~ grieved. They might demand a court of in- quiry, but the Wade court was a ¢ourt of inquiry which recommended that no further action be taken. This being approved by the President precluded any further in- uiry. In Administration circles it is hoped that no more will be heard concerning the beef controversy. IN THE COURT OF APPEALS.

A Dayton (O.) detective is on his way to St. Louis to take charge of E. B. Allen, . who was arrested Monday afternoon as a fugitive from justice and placed in the Central Station holdover. Allen is wanted by the Dayton police on a charge of forgery. The accusation is made against him that, while traveling for Leger. Barlow & Co., wholesale dry goods dealers there, he forged the name of one of their customers to a check for $200. Allen cried when he was informed he would be taken to Dayton. He said he had just procured a good situation in St. Louis and it would ruin him in the estimation of his new employers to have a charge of forgery preferred against him. Diamonds.

LE LE HODIAMONT WATER SUPPLY. ill lease | Thomas Mulrooney Gets a Permanent Injunction Preventing Closing of His Water Pipes. The Court of Appeals Tuesday overruled the judgment of the Circuit Court of St. Louis County in denying Thomas Mul- rooney a permanent injunction restra:ning Frank Obear and George Deavers from levying a water tax on him as a resident of Hodiamont, and ordered that a perma- nent injunction, as prayed, be issued. Obear and Deavers succeeded the Ho- diamont Realty Co. in 18%, having been assigned all its rights and business. In 1891 the company purchased ten acres of land where the suburb of Hodiamont is sit- uated, and divided it into city lots and built houses upon it, which they offered for sale. As an inducement to buyers they im- proved -their property by laying a water pipe from a St. Louis water main through their property and fitted up each house with a system of water pipes. The water sup- ply was paid for pro rata by the property- holders, Mulrooney purchased one of the dwell- ings through this inducement and paid his tax with the other propertyholders enjoy- ing the benefits of the St. Louis water works system. In 1896 Obear and Deavers purohased all the rights and interests of the company in Hodiamont. They attempted to exercise the same privileges that the company had ex- ercised. They began by laying a tax for the use of the water main. Mulrooney refused to pay it,claiming that Obear and Deavers had no right to lay euch a tax. They threat- ened to shut off the water supply if he did not pay the tax. He applied to the Circuit Court of St. Louis County for a permanert injunction restraining them from resorting to that measure, claiming that all the prop- ertyholdere in Hodiamont had an equal right to the use of the main and that no one had a right to use it for private ben- efit. The Circuit Court denied the applica- tion and an appeal was made to the Court of Appeals, In overruling the lower court the appel- late judges say that Mulrooney, when he purchased the house, took the same right the company held, and that as the water supply partly induced him to become a buyer and was reasonably necessary to a proper enjoyment of the property the de- fendant should be restrained from forcing him to pay water tax by shutting off his water supply. FOR THE GREAT TURN FEST. Official Announcement of the Arranzge- ments Made by the Railroad Committee. The Railroad Committee for the Turn Fest desires to announce the following: The road chosen is the Cotton Belt line. A special train will leave the Union Sta- tion at 7 o’clock sharp Friday, May 12. To those who are not able to go Friday, and will go Saturday, we can promise a special train on Saturday at 6 p. m., provided, that such persons will notify Mr. William Ses- singhaus in care of Cotton Belt line, 5 Olive street, not later than Thursday even- ing, and 100 such notices have been received, Should we succeed in arranging for the second special on Saturday, such notice will. appear in each of the daily papers on Friday morning, and if the 100 are received in time the same notice will appear in the Thursday evening papers. A special train will leave Little Rock on Sunday evening at 5 and arrive in St. Louis at 8 e’clock Monday morning. Should we succeed in arranging the sec- ond special train then the second will leave Little Rock Monday evening at 5 o’clock. Tickets are good on either train, as well as all regular trains, and will be good for returning until bie wage ig May 17. The extra train will consist of Pullman sleeping cars, chair cars, coaches and baggage. The time on the road will not exceed 16 hours and may possibly be cut to 12 hours and 30 minutes. The Cotton Belt Line promises to give us all possible conveniences, and the committee contemplates arranging to provide such other necessaries so that the passengers may secure light lunches and refreshments on the train and thus save breakfast time. The fare will be $10.46 round trip, sleep- ing cars extra, and if possible new tourist cars of the Pullman company will be se- cured, with a probable reduced rate from the regular Pullman sleeper. The city of ‘Little Rock, by its Board of Trade, Mavor and Municipal Assembly, Citizens’ Committee, Business Men and Turnverein, have strained every possible means and offer a good programme, and they have set the time aside of the turn fest as general holidays. ‘Mayor Ziegenhein of St. Louis has been invited. and will deliver an address on Sunday at the distribution of prizes. About 400 Turners from St. Louis, including High- land and several neighboring towns, will partake of the tournament. Tickets ‘can be had at the Cotton Belt of- fice. 306 Olive s'reet.

A OUR LIBERTY DEPENDS ON IT. Seventy-third Regular Meeting of the St. Louis Congregational Club Held at the Mercantile Club. The seventy-third regular meeting of the St. Louis Congregational Club was held Mondey evening at the Mercantila Club. About one hundred members and guests were present, including Rev. W. Douglass Mackenzie, D. D., professor in the Chicago Theological Seminary, the speaker of the evening. Those present discussed a deli- cious and well served difiner until 8 o'clock; then they gathered their chairs about Rev. D. M. Fisk, the president, and enjoyed the programme provided. Miss Adelaide Kalkman, a member of Pilgrim Congregational Church choir, ren- dered several vocal selections, which were well received. ; President Fisk introduced Rev. Dr. Mac- kenzie, whose theme was, “‘What Is the Mhureh, and Why We Should Love It.” The speaker treated the subject in a schol- arly and interesting manner, that kept tne aitention of is hearers from the start. He reviewed the history of the church and gave numerous cogent reasons why it was deserving of the love of its followers. Dr. Mackenzie declared that the Church of Christ was the source and fountain of all good, and one of the mightiest institutions in the world for real comfort and consola- tion. Few realized, the speaker said, how closely the church was related to the lib- erry and lives of the people. ‘The church gave to the world the true principles of freedom and democracy and there was not one reason to suppose that if the Church of Christ were to vanish from America, this great republic would long remain the coun- try of the free. It was the only power that can cause the people to live up to true ideals, and it was through the church that all reforms were put forth. Popular education, Dr. Mackenzie said, began with the desire of Christians to have the children learn to read, so they might be able to understand the Bible. At the ge gee day the Church eof Christ was be- ind all the great institutions of learning in the land. At the conclusion of the address, a rising vote of thanks wis tendered Rev. Dr. Mac- kenzie and Miss Kalkman for the evening’s entertainment. Before President Fisk an- nounced the adjournment of the club’s sés- sions for the summer, several new members were elected. Among those present were: Those seated at the first table were Rey. D. W. Fisk and wife, Rev. W. Douglas MacKenzie, D. '‘D.; Mr. O. lL. Whitelaw, Mr. 'M. \L. Gray and niece, Mr. W. B.

Headrick shot and killed, with a revolver, the man he was working for, James Lail, in Cape Girardeau County on July 1, 1898.

Untruthful Statements Sent to Many Newspapers by a Correspond- ent in Indiana. NOXID. Ind., May 9%.—Relatives of the late William Warner Hayes and his friends, who were numbered by scores in thie vi- cinity, are indignant over the false reports of celebration at the grave of the deceased citizen sent out to the newspapers of the country by geome untruthful correspondent from White Oak. They declare that the story, in all its striking details, was false; that no unseemly scenes occurred at the funeral, nor was there music by a brass band aa stated. No intoxicants were dis- pensed and not even food was served as stated. The death of Mr. Hayes occurred only six months agoand not two years ago, as repomed, and his will, on file in the Pike County court, shows no euch outland- ish directions as were so elaborately de- scribed by the untruthful correspondent. The children of Mr. Hayes are particularly hurt by the cruel misstatements, and ail who knew him are free in denunciation. Mr. Haves. was one of the best known and most popular citizens of the county, and there appears to have heen no reason for sending out such a remarkable story regarding his simple funera!, execep: the desire of the correspondent to make money by his eupposedly humorous but reatly dis- tressing falsehoods.

BLLA WHEELER WILCOX. > The crisis was really acute. TI had hoped for much ifrom that morning’s post; for no better reason, I Admit, than that when I am most impecunious | am most credulous, And it—I allude to the first delivery—had brought nothing but two rejected manu- soripts, a foolishly facetious suggestion from a sanguine tailor that settlement might (be arrived at by means of payment by instalments, and a reminder, rather curt than courteous, from the manager of the bank that my account was overdrawn. Lf for ithe next 48 hours I starved—I had just breakfasted sumptuously, and there- fore the idea could be entertained—how could | manage that trip to Edinburgh next Thursday? And yet that trip must be made. For Eugenia would be at the pro- yvost’s ball. Go would Putsom, an utterly worthless creature, @istinguished only for his profitable soapboilery and his passion for private theatricals. A williof her own had tnduced her to ap- point the occasion of the provost’s ball for the delivery of her answer to the mo- mentous question I had put to her some weeks before. And now I could not pay mv fare to win my lady. Suddenly a happy thought occurred to me. To go without my watchchain would be too loud-a proclamatton of my poverty, but there was that jeweled dagger which my father, a distinguished romancer, had wrested in single combat from the last Mahdi but one. ‘No self-respecting avun- cubar relative could offer me less than $0 on that. [I was lighting a cigarette, eame a knock at the door. ‘ome in'’ I cried And itn:came my clerk, a experience and 15 summers. “Mir. Ellerslie to see you, sir.’’ Then, as he noticed the look of amusement in my face, he went on: “He asked if Mr. Frog- more was in first, sir, and then said you would do.’ A new hope sprang up {n my heart. Was this Ellerslie the West End solicitor, whose clerks brought Frogmore most of his briefs? and was he going tb employ me in Froz- more’s absence” Mr. Ellersiie came in—a little dapper man of exceeding neatness, With carefully brushed tron-gray hair and trim side whis- kers. “Morning! So Frogmore’s down with in- fluenza. eh? Ever had a case yet? tut no, of course not. I must put you. through rour paces. Case comes on on I'ridav at latest-—‘Ellis vs. Leaver.’ Heard anything about it?” “How could 1?" I asked. He opened the file of papers he had In his hand, spread them before him and referred to them from time to time as he proceeded. “Bilis, the plaintiff, is the only partner in well-known firm of shipowners—La- teddish & €o., of Liverpool. Their ships are one of the few remaining ines of passenger vessels sailing vessels trading to Australia. “Mr. Ellis had in his clerk named Leaver, a smart young fellow, who so advanced in his master's confideace that he became maneging clerk, and was at times even invited to his master’s table. The presumptuous young monkey dared to fall in love with his employer's daughter, and even to become engaged to her. The engagement was broken off, and the impu- dent pretender discharged. ‘For weeks Leaver sought employr ent, but in vain, till at last he was giad to ship as purser’s clerk on a line of steamers to New Zealand. Then his mnfamy began. “On that dine every member of bthe staff —I'm not up in nautical terms—is allowet to do a little trading on his own account. Leater did his in botties—yes, sir, bottles. He used to ship a big crate full of then, and by some arrangement with the steve- dore got them stowed near hie bunk or with the steward'’s stores Then this young rascal began circulating the world with his bottles, strewing the Day, the Atlamtic and Pacific with his libels “Now.

Ellis was alarmed, and so were the under- writers, and being much under-insured he was willing, and even giad, to insure the ship the buttle referred to fcr a Dit more. His loss in extra premiums alone has thus amounted to over $0, for every one of the ships has turned up safely. “And every statement was not only a forgery and a lie, it was also a libel. It invariably took away the character of one of the Ben ships—excellent craft, sir, all classed Al at iJloyd’s. What was the con- sequence? ‘Sailors grew afraic of the line, and Eng- lish ones flatly refused to join, so Mr. Ellis has had to employ Dutchmen, Swedes, and even Portuguese, thus adding greatly to the perils of navigation. But worse. Ship- pers decline to ship by the line except at greatly reduced rates, and the fair fame of the line seems irretrievably ruined.” “But is the defendant werth——’”’ “Worth fighting? Of course he is. We show that he has been in partnership with Overton, the man at Lioyd’s who has written every line he had offered by way of reinsurance by the Ben ships. The rates have been enormous and Overton and young Leaver have made their fortunes. We have experts to prove that tHe contents of the bottles were in his handwriting, the stew- ard who saw him write some of them, the purser who saw him throw the bottles out ef the portholes, and the clerk who over- heard him make his terms with Overton.” [ agreed with him absolutely, and yet I hesitated. If | threw away this chance I might never have another, and this prob- ably would make my fortune. Surely En- genia, whose common seng* is as remark- able as her uncommon income, would be the first to bid me accept this pregnant brief. Besides I could plead in writing that it was for her sake that I accepted it. “Of course,’ he went on unconsciously. putting new temptations in my way, “if you do your part to my satisfaction 1 shan't forget you. And as to your retainer, suppose we say $100 and $25 a day, eh?” “Can't you make it $200 and $530" I asked. ef He drew me a check for the money and passed it to me with the brief.

For 10 rolls size of ordi- nary sausage rolls, take six ounces of flour, sift in one-half teaspoonful of baking pow- der: rub two ounces of lard into the flour, mix quite stiff with little ice water, roll out, dot over one ounce of butter, dredge over lightly with flour, fold up, roll out again and dot over with another ounce of butter; fold up and stand aside in very cold place till next day, EGG SALAD.—Wash a good head of let- tuce or handful of cress; leave in ice water for 10 minutes to crisp. Shake in clean tewel to dry. Break the lettuce into small pieces and arrange in salad bowl. Take two hard-boiled eggs, cut che white into thin strips and crumb the yolks; sprinkle over the lettuce and serve with mayon- nalse dressing. WAFFLES.—It ts practically a waste of time and material to bake waffles and then pile them up on a plate In a warming oven to steam and become tough. If you want a waffie to look inviting and keep its shape have your batter thick, but if you want something that will taste better and be delicate and tender have the batter as thin as you can bake it. That is the chief secret in the process of waffle-making. WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.—This bread should never be made at night, as it rises much faster than white flour bread, and an over-night rising would therefore be too long. For one quart of wetting (milk, wa- ter or milk and water) use a compressed yeast-cake (or its equivalent in any other yeast), one level dessertspoonful of salt two tablespoons of sugar or molasses. these ingredients, having the wetting warm and dissolving the yeastin wa wa- ter In a cup. and then add enough w wheat, or gluten, flour (the same), to a medium batter; beat until perfec smooth, and stand in a warm place to rige, When light, atir down and add enou motc flour (first stirring, then kneading) to make a soft dough. nead fully ® minutes or until it is fine-grained and elastic, then shape into loaves, put into png and allow to rise until light.

Same paeele du rot dip the hat into the water, but merely wipe it over with the mixture and afterward wipe it with clean water to remove any stickiness there may be. : FRANCHISE TAX AN EXAMPLE TO OTHER STATES. The Ford Bill Attracts Favorable No- tice Throughout the Union—A Long Step Forward. From the Chicago Chronicle. The law enacted by the late Legislature of New York to tax as real estate the “franchises” of corporations using or occu- pying public property is a revolution in systems of public finance. It is a more progressive measure to exact revenue from corporations than any that has been adopt- ed in thegWestern or Populist States. As othér cities wl doubtless follow New York in legislation providing for taxing franchises, the provisions of the law of that State on the subject should be care- fully studied. From the Savannah News. We may expect, if the Ford law stands the tests of the courts, that city fran- chises will be taxéd in all of the cities of the country. As a matter of fact, the corporations having the use of the streets of cities have been having a picnic. Their properties return a larger income for the money invested in them than any other kinds of property, and they are very lightly taxed—that is, lightly when the value of the franchises granted to them is taken into consideration. From the Memphis Commercial Appeal. This law is destined to reach e: ta) personal property that is never tax a present. he holders of atocks and bonds are paupers when the tax assessor comes around. They industriously swear that x have nothing, and men worth many millions in stocks and bonds go down on the tax books at a few hundred dollars. From the Baltimore Sun. _The issue of this big battle in the New York courts has a double national interest. It will certainly set an important prece- dent for tax legislation affecting corpora. tions, and it may incidentally determine whether young Gov. Roosevelt or old Sena- tor Platt is the strong man of the Repub- lican party of the State. And for the mo- ment, atJeast, the young Governor has the advantage of being on the popular side ef the question. ~~ From the Louisville Dispatch. The subject of franchise taxation {s interesting one the country over, and the growing sentiment in favor of .municipal ownership of the natural monopolies of the municipality will be felt first, perhaps, in increased taxation upon the corporations that now hold franchises.

It will commence operations again on Tuesday afternoon, when jt commences a series of four games with’ the Clevelands at Cleveland. At the conclusion of its series there the St. Louis team will start for home, re- appearing at League Park on Sunday with the Cincinnatis as its opponent. Friends of.the St. Louis team think it will win all its games at Cleveland, thus earning an even better place that it now holds at the top of the League ladder. The loss 9f.a game Tuesday would put the team out of first place, providing the teams next to it were victorious, and this proves how badly the team needs every fame it can win, even from the present Cléveland aggregation, In a conversation at Cincinnati Sunday morning between Frank Bancroft and Mc- Kean, of the St. Louis team, the fo stated that he was willing to bet $50 ‘that the pennant would come West this year.

The Chicago Man Proved a Revelat.on and Easily Outpointed. His Opponent. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DPNVDR, Colo., May 9.—The work of Frank Bartley of Chicago in the tweaty- round fight with Matty Matthews of New York last night, which ended in a draw, proved a revelation to the spectators, who did not consider him a match for the New Yorker. In the whole contest Bartley easily out- | pointed Matthews, but the latter showed wonderful powers of endurance. The num- ber of fair blows landed by both men Was 72, of which 89 marked in Bartley’s favor and 33 to the credit of Matthews. The best work of Matthews was in the ninth, fourteenth, sixteenth and last. Both men were considerably bruised, but all marks of the fight will wear off in a day or two. According to all advices Clarence Forbes, who is to meet Morris Rauch before the West End Club next Monday night is a crackerjack sure enough. Although but 17 years of age, Forbes has really never been fairly beaten. Every one here knows what a good lit- tle man Rauch is. Well, Forbes has met Rauch twice, and In those battles Forbes came out victorious once and won the next time. Patsy Sweeney of Manchester, N. H., gave Jack Downey of Brooklyn an awful beating when they met at New York Mon- day night. Joe Walcott whipped Charlie Johnson so badiy in 10 rounds na-~ Phitadelphia Monday night that the referee stopped the fight and gave a decision in favor of Walcott. Says the Louisvilie Courier-Journai, com- menting on the recert Oscar Gardner- Tommy riogan figni: “Tha decision wae highly questionable. In the !ast four reunds of ‘the fignt Hogan had easily the best cf it. In the nineteenth ho punished the hid all around the ring, and to many it seemed _ that Gardner would have been given his 'quietus had not the gon ground in question and | track is 13 miles | sounded oppor- tunely. At the best the consensus of opinion was that the fight should have been declared a draw, while some who had money on Gardner openly remarked that ‘“‘Hogan had his man whipped.’’ Frank and George McFadden fight % rounds before the nox Athletic Club in New York on Tuesday night. Tom O'Rourke, it is rumored, is about to become a ‘hotel-keeper in Gotham. The wily fistic promoter will take the manage- ment of the New York Hotel, Fortieth street and Broadway, and he says the fight- ers will not be barred from his hostelry, as they are at the Gilsey House and a few others. When O'Rourke’s own stable of fighters grow too old for the game they will be given jobs at their manager's cara- vansery. The position of bouncer will un- doubtedly be given to Sailor Sharkey, while George Dixon will run the bellboys accord- ing to Queensberry rules. June © is the date set for the Tommy Ryan-Mysterious Billy Smith bout. They will go twenty rounds at 148 pounds at the Broadway Athletic Club. “There are many people who believe,”’ says Tommy Ryan, “that Jeffries will be easy game for Fitz, on account of his awk- wardness, but they will find that they are mistaken. Jeffries is one of the most under- rated men in the profession to-day. He knows the game thoroughly, and with a lit- tle rapid foot-work, he will cause the cham- pion considerable trouble.”’ MY LORD. BERESFORD REPRESENTATIVES OF THE BRIT- ISH TURFMAN IN 8ST. LOUIS. Representatives of Lord William Beres- ford and other English noblemen are in St. Louis Tuesday morning, but under cover. They have brought letters of introduction to leading turfmen in 8t. Louls and they come to visit Western race courses and with carte blanche to buy the best year- lings and 2-year-old colts and fillies they can lay their hands on, Naturally they are keepin their visit here quiet, for to make their mission known would be to send the price of blooded racing stock sky high. The Lord William Beresford stable is now cutting quite a dash on the English turf. His chestnut colt Caiman won the Burwell Stakes at the opcRing of the New. i market meeting on Tuesday, and his brown filly Chinook, with Sloan up, finished sec- ond in the Visitors’ Plate. Sloan is the regular jockey of the Beres- | ford stable, and the good luck of his Lord- ship with the American jockey may have something to do with his sending here to buy youngsters. It is said the parties who are here in Lord Beresford’s interest have orders to purchase at least 20 erounmered yearlings and to buy up any 2-year-olds that in their estimation are worth qnipping to the other side and liable to hold t English horses. Te Britishers were at the Fair Grounds this morning looking about and sizing up the youngsters that are out there. The mere statement that as prominent an Finglish owner as Lord Beresford has sent to this country for material to replenish his already good racing stock is not only a compliment to American breeders of the eir own with the ' thoroughbred, but it will give prices in the | thoroughbred line a greater boom than they have received in this country in many | yeara. | The Diana Gun Club.

Hayes’ Hurricane took the Biue Grass stakes at Louisville Monday, and St. Wood, Hayes’ other entry, ran second. As the horses were going to the post Prince McClurg threw his jockey, Charley Van Dusen, but did not hurt him badly, and the race the Prince finished third, Van Dusen is well remembered by pa- trons of the old South Side track, he hav- ing ridden many a race there.

W Lennep Applejack 9% Samovar Fervor Manuel, the splendid son of Bob Miles- Espanita, the winner of the Kentucky Derby on Thursday last, may not start in the Clark Stakes, to be run at Louisville Thursday. During his work Sunday morning he is said to have thrown out the same atifle he hurt at Memphis some time ago, and which at that time, it was claimed, would pre- vent him from starting in the Kentucky Derby. It may be, however, that Manuel's in- jury will not prevent his starting, for his recovery after the accident at Montgomery Park was wonderful, and caused much sur- prise among turfmen. In the event that Manuel does not start there will be a big scramble among trainers to get their charges in condition for the race, as the entry list is practically the same as it was in the Derby and with Manuel out the field to face the starter in the Clark Stakes would in all probability be a large one. Manuel’s magnificent showing in the Montgomery andicap, in the average turfman’s mind, forecast, his success in the Derby and endeared the son of Bob Miles to those horsemen and race-goers who believe a real race horse should be a weight carrier. In the Derby his. failure to win the Montgomery entitled him to a five-pound allowance and let him in the race at 117 pounds; the conditions of the Clark call for 127 pounds on the Derby winner’s back, and this accession in his weight will encourage the steadfast sup- porters of the Corrigan confederacy to accept a very short price about their can- didate, who will shoulder the same im- post in the Clark that he did on the Derby. Manuel’s many friends can lay the flatter- ing unction to their minds that, as a 2- year-old, their champion never showed the slightest disinclination to weight, and it Is therefore a fair premise that the Derby penalty will prove no stumbling block in the path of the Blue Ribbon winner to victory in the Clark, provided he is able to start. Secretary Joe Murphy of the St. Louis Fair Association, who has just returned from San Francisco, opened up his office at the Fair Grounds Monday and got right down to business. Joe says that California will send many turfmen and horses to the St. Louis meeting, which opens on Satur- day. and that nearly all the boys that booked out there will be in the ring at the Frair Grounds when the bugle calls the horses to the post in the first race of this year’s meeting. - oe With the Amateurs.

Jwo Insurgent Generals Clash and Aguinaldo Had a Hard Time Preventing a Battle Between the Rival Commands. MANTLA., May 9, 6:3 p. m.—A recon- “moitering party from Major-General Law- ton’s command, consisting of two com- Panies of the Minnesota regiment and two companies of the Oregon regiment, under . of Maj. Diggiles of the Minnesota advanced yesterday to a point near San Micuel, which is about 12 miles forth of Balinag. There the Americans / were met with a volley from a force of 'Yebele behind a trench, Maj. Diggies was wounded in the head. A private soldier was wounded also. A CLAY WINS PLAUDITS. ~~. i Heroism of a Captain of the Seveu- 4 teenth Infantry. MANILA, Apri! 2, via San Francisco, May ®.—Its cases of personal bravery have been quite as numerous in the American army in the Philippines as during the Cuban cam- the same correspondents have ‘not had the same opportunity to chronicle those deeds of daring in the Orient, be- Cause, owing to the thickness of the coun- _try penetrated, many heroic acts Were ln- geen and unheard of for days after tlieir occurrence. One soldier who has well fllustrated the Quality of the American is Capt. Charies (ay of the Seventeenth Infantry. Capt. (Ciay is a native of Lexington, Ky., and & grandson of Llenry Clay. He brought new honor to the family name in Cuba, where, during the action on the Santiago field, when his men were lying behind cover for a from a shower of bullets, he marched pack and forth in front of his company, as erect and cooi as though on dress parade, nor would he yield to the appeals of the men that he find shelter. “The Captain never forgot for a second that he was a Ciay,”’ one of them ex- piained. When Capt. Hale was assigned to a bri- ude in the Philippines he appointed Capt. tiay to the position of Adjutant. On the first day of MacArthur's advance, Capt. Clay, riding erect as usual, received a bul- let through the neck. He lay six hours ’ regiment, in the jungle before he was discovered, and | as the wound was a dangerous one at best, his life was despaired of. His only thought when he was brought into the hospital was that his family should be informed that fie was but slightly injured. He is now, however, well on the road to complete re- covery. Among those officers who have fallen, no One will be longer or more loyally remem- bered by his comrades than Lieut. Gragg, of the Fourth Infantry. No man in the gry had more than he to make life worth | ane. friends, success in his profession, vitality and physical strength that made thim the impersonation of the athlete and ler.

Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, May 9%-—Andrew Carnegie, asked by your correspondent to give his reasons for selling his vast interests in the manufacture of iron and steel, referred with indorsement to an interview with him print- ed in a London paper yesterday. In this interview Mr. Carnegie was asked if he had sold from fear or dislike of the trusts, and was quoted ad replying: “The trusts have never frightened me and the Carnegie Steel Co. has no occasion to be afraid of them, ae it is the greatest property of its kind the world has ever seen, or probably ever will see. “I did not sell out because business was not prosperous; it never was 60 prosperous, nor were its prospects ever so good. ‘I sold in pursuance of a policy deter- mined upon long since, not to spend my old age in business, struggling after more dollars. I believe in deveioping a dignified and unéelfish life after 6.’’ Mr. Carnegie’s attention was calléd by the Post-Dispatch correspondent to a para- graph in a ‘London paper which referred tod his famous declaration that ‘‘to die rich is to die disgraced,”’ and asked what he Was going to,do with the $20,000,000 he had amassed, “Tell that editor,” replied Mr. Carnegie, i “‘to watch and see, hope 1 shall not ‘justify the definition sometimes deserved of a philanthropist, as a man with a great | deal of money, but very little sense. Asked his opinion of the recent triumphs of American engineering firms, in beating English competition for the supply of loco- | enotives to India, etc., Mr. Carnegie said: “As I have been telling my native land for at least 15 years what was coming, | 'am not surprised. “The American is the most alert, quickest and most versatile man the world nas yet seen. The American workman is more skiil- ful than any other.”’ “But, Mr. Carnegie, the Briton has got a | long way ahead of the Americans in the in- ' dustrial etruggle?’’ “Very good, but he has never before had to compete with a man of his own blood. He developed under more favorable circum- stances. “To be sure, there is a great deal of ‘kick’ in the Briton, and the struggle will not be hastily given over. When he has to meet superior competition I have great faith in _— abjlity to change his methods and to ent. “One great obstacle which he must en- counter i the fact that minerals are rap- idly being worked out in the old land. while in the new they are just being opened.”’ j | only | much of these articles—Great Britain, Ger- of | come at intervals Great ““How do you think matters will work out in the manufacture of iron and stee]?’’ “The wants of the world are sufficient to tax both Europe and America.

It was immediately before the battle of Saint Tomas that the insurgents so -nearly arrived at the point of beginning to ex- terminate one another. Gen. Luna, when he saw that an engagement with the Amer- ican troops was inevitable, sent back an aide post haste to Bacolor, where Gen. Mascardo was, demanding reinforcements. Mascardo’s reply was that he would take orders from no one but Aguinaldo. This defiance so infuriated Luna that, in mpite of the impending conflict with ‘the common enemy, he took 1500 of his soldiers @nd made a forced march to Bacolor, tn- tent on chastising ‘his comrade-in-arms.

2a - bel Fea nein ate ¢ ee ~~ UNCONSIOUS THE UNIDENTIFIED MAN AT THE CITY HOSPITAL. IDENTITY NOT YET REVEALED. Detectives Making an Investigation of the Singular Case, but Thus Far Without Result. Por five days the City Hospital has con- tained an unconscious patient, whose iden- tity to-day is no nearer solution than it was when he was first received there last Thursday night. At that time, while he was being undressed, the linen he wore was found to have had written in it the name of “G. Gill.”” This naturally caused the authorities to think there would be no difficulty in discovering who the maa Was, but when it was found that the only man of that name lived in the suburbs and denied any connection with his namesake, the puzzle suddenly grew complex—espe- clally so, as the suburban Mr. Gill declared that in a robbery of his home, which had occurred a few days previous, a quantity of hia personal linen had been taken. The man at the hospital, however, does not, in appearance. resemble a criminal. He is about 3 yeare of age, wi:h a large head and fairly intelliger.t face. He wears a light brown full beard and mustache. He 4 rather slightly built and, when taken to the Hospital, was very neatly dressed. His exterior conditjons would certainly imply that he possessed, at least, a small amount of money. But a re markable feature of the case is that when admitted neither peasy wad ge of any sort were found on m his indicates that ve rha he had been robbed. ; a The button hole on his vest bears unmis- takable evidence of having had a watch chain passed through it; it is worn and ie 6 ‘circumstances previous to his ad- mission to.the City Hospital are these: He was brought from the ty Bom saloon at Efghteenth and (Chestnut streets at 9 o’clock Thursday night. Upon inquiry there it was ascertained the man had entered the place the same afternoon considerably un- der the influence of liquor, the bartender stated. He asked the way to the hasement and, upon receiving directions, staggered down the steps. He did not reascend and the bartender, having occasion to go down himself about two hours later, says he was surprised to see the man lving, apparently asleep, at the foot of the steps. The sup- 0 sleeper was not disturbed until, per- aps. an hour later, when an attempt to awaken him failed. No other trial was made until 8 o'clock that evening, six hours ~ after he had gone there. This, too, being without result, an ambulance was sum- i and he was conveyed to the hospi- There his skull was found fractured at the base. An operation was performed to relieve the brain of the weight of the bone, but this failed to re- store consciousness. He is still in exactly the same condition as at first; rolling about on the bed so much that it is necessary to bind him, muttering unintelligibly in his delirium and each day growing weaker and more emaciated. Dr. H. L. Nietert, the superintendent, fears he will die without revealing his iden- tity. In the opinion of the doctor. the man is slowly but surely sinking and, in all probability, he will carry his secret to the grave with him. Numerous efforts have been made since the man's arrival to establish his person- at: but all have failed. e Police Department. through Acting Chief of Detectives James Smith, has de- tailed two detectives, Lee Killian and Mar- tin O’Brien, on the case. and a thorough investigation is being made. e man Fagen ve | comes from some dis- tance, for t * patice have not received no- tification, as t ey usually do, of any one this man’s degcription being absent any of the near-by towns. BITTEN. BY A. HIPPOPOTAMUS. Keeper William Spencer Received Se- vere Injuries to His Hand While Feeding the Animal. to have been Keeper William Spencer, the man who feeds the big hippopotamug at Ringlings, is wearing his right hand in a sling to-day, and is boasting as possibly being the only fellow in St. Louls who was ever literally bitten by a hippopotamus. While the crowd was surging through the menagerie Monday night a woman's screams on the north side of the canvas caused a scramble in that direction. The sequel proved that while Keeper doencer was shoveling bread into the mouth of the hippopotamus at a lively rate with both hands, Fatima closed her tusks so quickly that Mr. Spencer failed to make connection in getting his right hand away from the huge tusks. There was a grind- ing noise and Mr. Spencer nearly swooned — pain and then a woman shrieked. Spencer’s hand was considerably braised. but no bones were broken. “You see, the animal’s tusks were s0 much larger than my arm that she couldn't et a firm hold on me. In that case the amage to my hand and arm would gant been greater. Fatima is not vicious an I’m sure if she could talk good Englis ‘fi she'd tell me how sorry she is that the ac- ~ ao happened.

Then came a large delivery wagon of the Post-Dispatch, of which there were eight in the parade. Ail the while the tin horns with which the boys were supplied helped to drown the noise of cable cars and other conveyances. In fact, the great volume of sound could be heard for blocks around. It was merely a mild evidence of the Post-Dispatch news- bove’ happiness. The route lay along Olive street to Grand avenue and thence southward to the show grounds. That the youthful newspaper merchants have staunch friends was evident every- where. The sidewalks were well lined with spectators, while from the doorway and window of every house peered scores of persons. There was ood-natured rivalry among the boys for the privilege of carrying the banners, some of which were inscribed as follows: “The Post- Dispatch—First in Circulation, in News, in Want Ads.’ ‘The Sunday Post-Dispatch Carries the Rent Lists.’ “The Sunday Post- Dispatch, the Paper with the Want Ads.’ “If It's in the Sunday Post-Dispatch It’s a Bargain.”’ “We Are All Sunday Post-Dispatch Hust- lers; The Sunday Post-Dispatch Sends the 3oys to the Circus and Pays for It Barney Mussulman, who has a branch agency at Nineteeenth street and Cass ave- nue, had a fine assortment of banners for his ‘newsboys that attracted much atten- tion. One that caught the crowd was: “The two biggest things in town—Ringling Bros.’ circus and the Post-Dispatch.” When the marchers got the first glimpse of the circus tent a mighty cheer went up. Then all were impatient to get inside. The boys held cards which were exchanged for tekets at the door. There was some confu- sion at the entrance, but all were safely inside when the performance began. The clowns in a circus. like the comedian on the etage, likes encouragement.

OPENING NIGHT AT THE CIRCUS. Over 8000 People Witnessed the Ring- ling Bros. Performance. The opening night at the big circus of Ringling Bros. was a success from every standpoint. Over 8000 persons were in at- tendance. The ultra-fashionable set were conspicu- ous in the bexes, while many society folk occupied the reserved seats. It ‘has been often said that to find a cosmopolitan crowd, go to the circus. The saying was applicable Monday night. Persons in all waiks of life, from the humble artisan to the millionaire, sat side by side in the audience. ‘It’s remarkable,”’ said Mr. Alf. T. Ring- ling, ‘chow some people will taboo all other amusements and patronize the circus. I think the reason lies in the fact that the circus goes back to one’s boyhood day, and an old man imagines himself young again when he gets inside the tent.’ The performance is well worth going to see. The Metweep troupe of acrobats, singers and dancers made a hit; so did the trio of Marlins, who are classed among the best all round dancers in the worl. The clowns were at the'r best Monday night and came in for a lurge share cf attention. The Le Moyne Brothers, comedy acrcbats on horizontal tars, did clever work and were applawled frequently. The exhibition cf Gallando, the lightning elavy moleler, was good. The equestrienne specialties, important part of the circus, ularly strong. The three herds of performing elephants, who do aN manner of things, were the attraction in the middle ring for nearly half an hour, There are three rings and performances are going on in each at the same time. William Devan, Michael and John Rooney and Cecil Lowanda, champion barebac riders, received close attention and great applause. Mile. Tronour’s trapeze act Is worthy of note, and there are a hundred other at- tractions equally interesting. The animals drew throngs of spectatora. Such a menageSe has not been seen in St. Louls in many years and old and youn Bpent all the time they could spare around the beautiful cages containing rare beasts and birds. THE PORCH RAILING BROKE.

The effect was electrical. Business was suspended, while everybody climbed chuirs and desks to get out of the redents’ way. Mr. Archer had all the excitement he wanted for several minutes, and enjoved the dismay of his fellow operators immensely. But some serious-minded persons failed to see the funny side of his ioke and preferred a charge of disorderly conduct against him. He pleaded guilty to throwing the rats in the pit, and the board decided that such conduct was sufficient to justify the charge and found him guilty. Mr. Archer is rgpent- ant, and says he nMopes never to see ahother rat. ST. PATRICK’S FESTIVAL. Enjoyable Entertainment for the Bene- fit of the Church.

Another Meeting of the Committee Will Be Held Wednesday After- noon at the Bank of Commerce. Secretary James Cox reported to the World’s Fair Finance Committee Monday afternoon concerning the 4 to the World's Fair fund, as follows: Dear Sir—In accordance with your instructions, I have had the subscription blanks as handed to me called over and checked, and have also gone as closely as possible into estimates of amounts committees expeet to raise. I bave opened one set of books in which are entered all subscriptions on the long numbered bianks, classified according to the trade or professional interest; and another set of books in which all individual blanks are en- tered, in alphabetical order. The following igures represent results up to 12 o'clock to-da totals classi- $993,660 . 191,675 Total pees and chec ---$1,185,335 Signed ren not posted 9,600 Reported by chairmen of com mittees but not filed in office 1,401,510 Personal subscriptions an- nounced, but blanks not in Indis idual blanks post- 800 $2,686,245 The chairman of thirty committees, in- cluding transportation, express, etc.; brewers, bank and trust companies, street railrogds, furniture, city officers, etc., represent that they are in course of raising Gross total $4,706,245 Some of the estimates of the committees are probably high, but a majority of them should be verified. In 10 cases this week in which amounts were transferred from the estimate column to the ledger there was no material variation. I have made no allowance for returns from the following committees concerning which I have no speeitic information: Artists’ materials (Mr. L. P. Aloe reports good progress with this work), harness and saddlers, st-office, plumbers (about one-half the city has een canvassed), live stock dealers (about one-half had been canvassed at last report), bags and bag- ging (no report), telegraph and telephone com- a gen tobacco (no subscriptions from companies, ut two large individual subscriptions), wholesale grocers (canvass incomplete), retail grocers (just ae ll ed active work), sewing machines (await- ing replies from home offices), commercial agencies (awaiting replies from home offices), safe manu- facturers, tailors, merchant and retail: florists, typewriters, stenographers, Implement and Vehicle Board of Trade, china and queensware, societies and orders, St. Louis County, steamboats, chemical works, iron and steel merchants, tic ket brokers, vinegar, iron foundries, retail druggists (an active canvass commenced two or three days ago), Mercan- tile Club special list. Appented are statements of acount bearing out this report. Yours respectfully, JAMBPS OoOxX, Secretary Executive Committee. Another meeting of the Finance Commit- tee will be held Wednesday afternoon at the Bank of Commerce at 4 o’clock, which every member of the committee is special! ly requested to attend. Steps will be taken to personally communicate with each chair- man from whom no definite information has been obtained. The policy of recogniz- ing from now on no subscriptions unless signed on regular blanks will be adhered to, and there will be no approximate estimates of any kind issued. Gov. Francis, who is now in New York City, called up the World's Fair office by long-distance telephone and reported that he had in ‘his possession a_ subscription blank for $500 from Mr. F. L. Ridgeley, supplemental to $300 which that gentleman had already signed: The following letter was received from Mr. Adolphus Busch, who is in New York City, Fis ap ovat morning. Mr. Busch was one of the first subscribers to the World’s Fair fund, and in sending his officia] blank says: My Dear Mr. Thompson—Inclosed find my sub- scription for $50,000 fort. World's Fair stock, duly signed. Thousands of people have approached me and inquired what the St. Louis World's Fair will be, and my answer always comes without hesitation, ‘“The grandest the world has ever seen,’’ ao tell the Governor and others Interested that we can not afford: to have it anything else. Yours very truly, ADOLPHU: S BUSOH. NEW FAST AFTERNOON | TRAIN.

Prosecuting Attorney Neglected to In- troduce the Ordinance. Harry H. Philper, a member of the Board of Engineers, against whom an indictment for misdemeanor in office was returned, was discharged Tuesday afternoon in the Court of Criminal Correction, Judge Clark | sustaining a demurrer to the evidence. Prosecuting Attorney Clover neglected to introduce in evidence the city ordinance to show under what act and section the = prosecution was being made. The defendant’s counsel asked the dis-— charge of his client on account of this error when the State had announced that it had concluded its case. Philper was accused of accepting a bribe | for the issuance of an engineer’s license without requiring the examination for | which the law makes provision. Little Pimples Turn to Cancer. Cancer often results from an im- purity in the blood, inherited from generations back. Few people are en- tirely free from some taint in the blood and it is impossible to tell when it will break out in the form of dreaded Can- cer. What has appeared to be a mere pimple or epeabek has developed into the most malignant Cancer. “T bad a severe Cancer which was at first eee! a few dlotches, that I thought would ' soon pase away.

Mrs. Anna Sneed Cairns’ Talk on the Growth of Woman’s Suffrage. 1238 At the Social Settlement rooms, No, North Broadway, before an audience that showed great interest, Mrs. Anna Sneed Cairns made a strong plea for wens? suffrage Monday night, stating that no longer necessary to prove its desira bility, as in the four States—Wyomin Idaho, Colorado and Utah—and also New Zealand, where it was in full force the effects had been altogether beneficial. Mrs. Cairns gave some amusing instances of ignorant whites and negroes who could vote, Dut who sneered at the idea of edu- cated women exercising the _ § suffrage Women “didn’t know enough.’ She hag lived in Colorado and the women there ap peared to be more intelligent, more inter ested in public questions and more ready to do their duty by their chy and countr than in States where woman's suffrage was still denied them. At the same time, the homes of voting women showed no- sign of neglect. The speaker traced the growth of womar suffrage from the time W years ag when not a single woman couid vote or public questions in any part of the work untll to-day when 36 States and Territorie: had accorded women this right to a greater or less degree. She called attention to the fact that an Irish woman could now vote in her own country, but if she came to free America,” in many of the States she would lose this power. An interesting discussion followed the lec- ture, some of those present showing that they were still far from convinced. Next Monday, May 15, Rev. Gustavus Tuckerman of St. Stephen’ s Mission, will speak on “Ohrigsitian Socialism.’ Will Be Paid. —President .
