When Court Crier Bader called: “John Smith, come out,”’ the court habitues were astonished to see Attorney George Safford come out of the cage in the custody of a deputy marshal. The lawyer walked for- ward and took his place in the dock. He pleaded his own case, and was found guil. ty and fined $. ROLBE RS Rt 10 Safford has been practicing law for seve- ral years. He has been much around the criminal courts, and has an office on the eleventh floor of the Fullerton Building. Sergt. Mansfield and Patrolman Kirk Connell were the prosecuting witnesses, According to the evidence of the police, Safford was a spectator at the fire on Broadway Sunday night. The police were trying to keep the crowd off of a live wire. With the exception of Safford the crowd moved back. He refused to go and in- vited the Sergeant to go where fire & no novelty. Sergt. Mansfield talked to him for a few minutes and as courteous treatment had no effect called Patrolman Connell to ar- rest him. The lgwyer was locked up and Kept in the holdover over night. _ On the witness stand the lawyer declared that Sergt. Mansfield knocked him down and dazed him. “I've known Sergt. Mamefield for a long time,’’ said Judge Peabody, “and there is not a finer policeman anywhere. He was seeking to preserve the peace and to pro- tect Hfe and property.

LESS SCHOOLING FOR BOYS. BELIEVES IN GIVING PRACTICAL LESSONS OF LIFE. Railway Magnate Huntington Thinks “a Mistake Is Made in Thrusting | Much Education on the Masses. Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 15.—Collis P. Huntington’s tenth annual banyuet to officials of the Southern and Central Pa- cific railway campanies took place at the Huntington residence, this city. In his speech ‘Mr. Huntington declared that the cause ef much of the distress in this coun- try was the over-education of the masses. Said he: “I regret one tendency in our: country, admirable as are her institutions, It is is almost heresy to gay it, but I do not mind taking responsibility. I refer to the in- crease of higher education for the masses, “The Anglo-Saxon has easily outstripped all his competitors in those tMings which make for the commercial growth and suc- cess of nations, because he has been above @ll other chings practical. While prepar- ations for professional life requires ad- vanced knowledge, it eeems to me that the vast majority of our young people spend top many of their vigorous years of youth insite school rooms and not enough in the practical work of life. “The years from 15 to 21 are immensely Vaiuable, for they are years of keen obser- vation, individualiiy and confidence. In many cases, quite too many, they are epent in cramming the mind with knowl- edge that it is not likely to help a young man in the work he is best ‘i'ted :o9. “How many young men with college edu- cations are standing about waiting for something that will never come because the work that lies nearest at hand is not to their liking? Somehow or other our schools teach young people how to taik, Dut do not teach ihem how ;» live. Peo- pie need little, but want mucu. “Sons of farmers are forsaking the fields because the cities are more attractive to them. Slowly, but surely, there is grow- ing up a sironger wall of caste, with good, honest Jabor on one side and friv- olous gentility onthe other. We seem to be fast outgrowing those things, which when our fathers lived, were called sterling qual- ities, but now are called follies, or work that gentlemen should not do, as though all honest work was not honorable work. “The young man of to-day has a field of action before him that is simply be- wildering. In San Francisco we stand op- posite the open door of the Orient, with all the vast possibilities of trade and com- méree implied therein. I do not see why we should be any more efraid of the China- man than the people of other countries a@re, and they will 'weicome him as a factor in their development. “The outcome in the Philippines, so far as control of them by the United Staies is concerned, is not doubtful. When we have once established peace there the next question will be how to maintain it. Fil- ipinos have shown us that ihey do not lack independence of spirit and courage. These are qualities which make good citizenship in a republic. Other qualities can ba cul- tivated, and, if the present generation ehould not prove susceptible to such edu- cation, the next one may be. “It will be our duty to give the Filipinos fair representation with respect to the es- tablishment of a government on those isl- ands. In the meantime, having ourselves obtained, through the exigency of circum- ctances, a foothold in the Orient, the American Republic must have a voice among the great nations which are set- tling the future of China. I believe we can, if we will, prevent the disintegration of that magnificent old empire, I believe it to be in the interest of the world that the unity of that empire be maintained. I believe her preservation and safety will depend n her commercial renovation, swinging her doors wide open to the com- merce of the world, equal rights to all. In such a policy we should be her ally. We want China to give us and to all commercial privileges which obtain in suc- cessful nations, and we ought to give her Fe 9 what is due her under the golden ENDED HIS PAIN. George D.

PARIS, May 15.—Premier Dupuy, at the unveiling of the monument to Charles Thomas Floquet, late Premier, denounced Boulanger and his followers, and directly and indirectly attacked «he army as a standing menace to the internal peace of the nation. : This speech, coming from one in such a high station, and at this time, denouncing the man who all but overthrew the republic through the idolatry of the army for him, was evidently a stroke of policy in at- ftemp‘ing to turn the ‘attention of the people from the evils that are near at hand by picturing to them the horrors of a military terrorism and to discredit the army in their eyes. The Dreyfus element interpret the speech to mean that the punishment of all im- plicated in the terrible affair is now in- evitable, and on the other hand they main- tain that it means that for the first time in the history of the.third republic the army is to be made absolutely subordinate to the government, and its acts and the acts of its officers are to be entirely within the control of the ministry and the Presi- dent, TRIED TO KIDNAP A TEACHER.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 15.—Stories that cOme from India about the stir that Mrs. Leiter caused there have not greatly sur- prised the friends of that estimable lady. She is one of the best tempered, kindest hearted and most generous of women to those who know her, but her capacity for making pcople uncomfortable at times amounts almost to genius. And the most trying part of it all is that she doesn’t mean it at all. 3 The Viceroy of India, holds a kind. of second-hand court, and there is a great stickling for forms. As Mrs. Leiter’s son- in-law happens to be the Viceroy now, and as Lord Curzon has great respect and con- sideration for Mrs. Leiter; it naturally fol- lowed that she was in & position to make no end of a row. ; A cable dispatch safvs the trouble was over precedence, Mrs. Leiter insisting upon going everywhere next to her daughter. It also was said that Lord Curzon directed that an aidé accompany Mrs. Leiter and Miss Daisy Leiter when they went abroad, this being in violation of all precedent. The real] trouble probably was due to the good lady's habit of saying things that would better be left unsaid. ° Mrs. Leiter is an educated woman, and in fact she taught school at one time. Tact, however, was not on the curriculum. Her most pronounced characteristic is making double-barreled remarks The first is sufficiently embarrassing, but the sec- ond shot ‘s usually overwhelming. : She gave a dinner at her home in this city once, and directed Secretary Blaine to take Mrs. Henry Cabot Lodge to the table. During that little hush which follows the seating of guests Mrs. Leiter remarked sweetiy to Mrs. Lodge: “I didn’t ask Mr. Blaine to take you in to dinner, Mrs. Lodge, because you are the most brilliant woman in the party.” There was a well-bred gasp, of course, but the wise walted for the second shot, which came, of course: “ft had him bring you in because he thinks you are the most brilliant woman,” went on Mrs. Leiter. On another occasion Gen. Sheridan was dining with the Leiters. The soldier -was very much interested in something he was talking about, and in his usual impetuous manner he seized a fork which happened to be a large one and plunged it into an oys- YT. ron, General,” said Mrs, Leiter, ‘‘the smailer fork is for the oysters.”’ This was only the first shot. Mrs. Leiter had the second barrel in reserve, and fired it off directly. ; “You know,” she said sweetly, “I am always so grateful when any one corrects Mr. Leiter’s table manners when he is out dining.’’ JAPAN’S NEW NAVY.

Bishop Potter Presided and Gave Out a Letter That Cleafly Defines o His Position. NEW YORK, May 16.—No protest, no um- usual incident marred the reception of the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Briggs and the Rev. Charles H.. Snedeker, into the Protestant Episcopaj priesthood. When Bishop Potter came to the words in the ordination service, ‘‘but yet if there be any of you who knoweth any impedi- ment or notable crime,” and momentarily paused to give opportunity for any pro- test, a deep hush came upon the congregn- tion, and expectantly all waited. But no one came forward, and an instant later the Bishop’s voice rang out clear and strong, continuing the service, and the opportunity for protest had passed. No special prepar- ations for the ceremony had been made in the cathedral. Twelve lillies graced the al- tar, but beyond that the church was un- adorned. The ceremonies were very long, com- mencing at 10:30 o’clock and continuing un- til late in the afternoon. If anything, the services were hurried a little, and the gen- era] communion which followed the com- munion of the postulants or candidates tended to extend the time. Bishop Potter was asked what he had to say preliminary to the ceremonies. He, said that he had received a_ letter from a layman, protesting against the or- dination of Dr. Briggs, and as this letter was written under a misapprehension of the facts and law, he had answered it. He did not desire to give the name of the layman. Inasmuch as the letter he himself had written in answer to it was general in its nature, and set forth his position he pad nv objection to making it public. The letter is as follows: Diocesan House, Lafayette Place, May 10, 1899.—My Dear Sir: Your letter of the 5th inst. is before me, and I have given the mat- ter to which it refers my best consideration. You exaggerate, however, my powers, and are, in regard to them, under considerable misappre- hension. In asking me to ‘refuse to ordain Rev. Dr. Briggs,’ to.take the responsibility of acting in the ease as it demands, and ‘‘to have the courage of my convictions,’’ you are apparently under the imjression that the matter is wholly Within my discretion. , Such is not the case. A Bishop’s powers are constitutional, not absolute. In the matter of ordi.«t?on he can only act when certain preliminary actin by others has been had, but when this is the c9se, and a candidate for orders stands at the threchold of the minis- try. the canons of ordination cC»clare that the Bishop ‘‘shall,’’ not ‘‘may,’’ then proceed to take order for the ordination of the person who has met the preliminary tests in the premises. All these tests have been applied in the «ase of the person to whom your letter refers, and I have received a certificate to that effect from the standing committee of the diocese. Under these circumstances, and unless some charge affecting the character of teaching of Rev. Dr. Briggs which was not covered by the testi- monial had been presented to me, I should not consider myself as having discretion to disregard the plain imperative of the canon. But nothing of the sort has been adduced. The book, the teachings of which have lately been challenged, has been for some time before the public, and the standing committee of the diocese has been con- vened since recent and particular attention has been called to it. It was, in my judgment, com- petent to that body, if it had seen fit to do so, to recall the certificate originally forwarded to me, on the ground that it had been signed under a misapprehension or with insufficient knowledge, but this it has not seen fit to do. I must, there- New York, do 80. I beg, however, that you will not suppose tbat I am seeking to escape from my personal: re- sponsibility in the matter of the ordination of Dr. Briggs by retiring behind the action of my constitutional advisers. I have not the slightest desire to do so. The outcry against the author of the ‘‘Introduction to the a of Holy Scrip- ture’’ is chiefly .to be deplored canse it betrays such a lamentable ignorance of the progress of sound learning and the ‘judgment of the best Christian scholars. One of. these, a _ Bishop, writes: ‘‘You may be interested to see that the old, staid Christian Knowledge Society repub- lished my little pamphlet on the Bible, which contains the same principles that are elaborated in your treatise. I am indignant at the misrep- resentations, or, we will hope, the misunder- standings, of some of your critics.. Have they, for the first time, come across the Interpretation of the speaking with tongues which harmonize that book with the epistle to the Corinthians? Have they never read Dean Plumptre’s article on the subject in Smith's Dictionary of the Bi- ble?’ In a word, the author of the ‘‘Introduction to the Study of Holy Seripture” has simply stated conclusions which the best learning and the most devout minds have accepted before him. I do not myself accept all of them, but that any of them denies or impugns any fundamental doctrine of the faith can only ‘shown by mu- tilations or perversions of what the anthor has said, which are as maliguant as they are unscru- pulous. I note the prediction with which you conclude— that Dr. Briggs’ advancement to the higher min- istry for which he has been recommended will pre- cipitate departures to the Church of Rome. This would indeed be unfortunate, for the author of the ‘‘Introduction to the Study of Holy Scripture,’’ holds letters from eminent Roman Catholic: schol- ars of foremost rank in institutions of learning of foremost dignity, expressing warmest appreciation of his contributions to the study of the Bible and intimating their purpose to make use of it in their classrooms. Here again it would seem that a some- what larger knowledge would be the safest guide to wise action. I need hardly add, after what I have written, that it is my intention to proceed, at the time appointed, to Dr. Briggs’ ordination. I am, dear sir, sincerely yours, H. C. POTTER. Rev. Dr. Briggs was somewhat nervous, though he did not betray it in the church during the services. There Was a sem- hlance of nervousness in all the celebrants. fher> seemed to be a tendency to hurry through the ceremonies. A simple service according to the is- copal Church was gone through, and then the rites of ordination in accordance with “the form and manner of ordering priests’ were begun. After a Rev. Dr. Doug!ass charge to the spoke slowly and conclusion of the sermon of ord Dr. Osborne read the litany. most impressive moment arrived. sponsors went forward and presented the candidates to the Bishop.

Then followed a profound silence. People turned about as if expecting some one to rise up and make a protest. No one arose, There was no protest handed to the Bishop and the crucial moment was over. Then the regular formOla of ordination was gone through with more deliberation. the Bishop and the presbyters and the par- ticipation in the communion.

Intimates That Bishop Potter Has Erred in the Ordination. | NEW YORK, May 15.—In the church of St. John the Evangelist last night, the Rev. Dr. Benjamin F. Decosta spoke “The Guid- ance of the Holy Spirit’ in its bearings up- en the principles of the “High Criticism” as expounded by Dr. Briggs from the words “Ihe spirit of truth will guide you into all truth.’”’ ‘The ehurch,” he said, ‘is not to stand still, but, age on age, rise to higher and fuller concsotion of the mind of Christ. Yet there ts 4 danger bere for individuals who, by an abuse of the thought, come to be heady and conce ~d and confound their own notions, whims a..* eccentricities with the voice of the spirit. Noit‘»g ts more evi- dent from the New Testa. »™t than that persons who claim to be led by the spirit are called.to submit their claims to the church for examination and eriticism. It is that the candidaté ‘himself be persua of his call; the ehurch must be convinced. “Yet, with all the precautiqns, + bishops often lay hands suddenly on’ the wrong persons. men who have no ‘tnterior call, who deliberately perjure- themselves, seek- ing the office of priest for personal advan- | tage, for emolument, social position and vantage ground for Senernn, The church abounds with these men, who have never been called by the Holy Ghost and many bishops have yet to answer before God for their action in laying on hands suddenly in the case of men seeking the ministry with a lie upon their lips for selfish ends. “Then there is the case of the_priest who does not hesitate to teach contrary to the church and the scriptures on the ground of superior illumination by the spirit. Man- ifestly, the greatest danger exists in this direction and the spectacle of a bishop de- liberate crdaining men who deny plain statements of the baptismal office naturally fills the church with deep concern. ; oa must be the end of all this un- bridied ‘individualism?’ In connection with scripture, it means the taking away of al] real authority from the word of God. ‘““Men demand authority in chemistry and astronomy and why not in theology? The world craves authority and if men cannot find it in the Episcopal church it still ex- ists close at hand. ‘We have always depended upon an in- fallible Bible. he last papal encyclical 7 (1893) holds clearly to the necessity of the church basing itself upon the infallible word. This thought is not*exclusively a Protestant thought. ret Protestantism needs it more than the Roman Church and in as much as the Protestant ecclesiastica! System is weaker than the Roman, so much the more does it need the supporting power of an infallible word. “Bishops in our own church are now prac- tically indorsing higher criticism, telling us thereby that there is no infallible Bible, and as we have now come to the conclusion that they themselves are not tnfallible it is clear that we shall soon be obliged to look around for foundations if we are going to have any. “Men cannot recognize any Holy Ghost speaking through any conceited individual.

THE HOUSE’S RESPONSIBILITY. If the Democratic majority of the House of Representa- tives stands by its expressed determination not to pass the Senate's outrageous street railway consolidation bill it w ., do much to redeem the State Legislature in the eyer of the people. . The House indorsed franchise taxation and sent two bills to the Senate. The Senate in the most offensive and treach- erous manner pigeon-holed the House’s bills. Now the Senate has sold itself to the franchise-grabbing, trust-promoting street railway syndicate: The approval of the House is necessary to the consummation of the infamous deal. _ After defeating the House’s just measure for the equaliza- tion of taxation between thse unprivileged people and the privileged francuise owners, the Senate asks the House to as- Sist in passing a boodje trust euabling act. ‘= = — It.

The Emperor is a frank, good-natured man who, no doubt, is fearfully bdred by the ceremonial life he is compelled to lead. He likes to relax and be natural. The stifffiess and artificiality of official existence make freedom impossible, and we can well believe that he and other sovereigns often envy the peasant his liberty and naturalness.

Senator McLaurin of South Carolina in a recent interview called attention to the continued growth of cotton manufacture in the South, especially in his own State. This movement long since passed beyond the stage of ex- periment. It is now an assured success. All the conditions of the South favor this industry, since the proximity to the flelds enables the manufacturer to con- vert the raw material inte the finished product at a minimum cost of transportation, while labor is at least as cheap as in the New England States. “a The recent extension of export trade will open a market for all such manufactures likely to be offered. The home compe- tition will not be so severe as to endanger any of the North- ern mills. There is room enough for enterprise in all sections, if the Government adopts a liberal policy, which will encour- age instead of hinder trade. Commercially this country can be supreme, whutever its rank may be as @ military power. . LL. > are Every outgoing Legislature in all parts of the country seems to be the worst.

This extract from one of Abraham Lincoln's speeches sounds treasonable now, but it shone with the light of truth and richt when the words were uttered: “When the white man governs himself, that is self government; but when he Boverns himself and also governs another man, that is more than seif government; that is despotism.” Lincoln's specches ought to be censored. shouia be suppressed altogether.

She was a well-gowned woman and her face bespoke her as of the socially elect. The charity she represented was in want—a new fire escape was needed for one of the outbuildings, and the Ladies’ Aid Society had undertaken to collect the money from the charitably inclined. The man listened quietly and then told the woman he would see what he could do. He arose and went into the inner office, in- tending to send out a crisp #% bill, but on opening his money drawer he was con- fronted by a glittering array of new 5 ana 10-cent pieces. And then this thought came upon him: ‘Instead of giving 8 to this charity for a fire escape, why not take $2 in dimes and nickels and go out on the street and give to every poor person who asks you until the entire $2 is gone?”’ And so he told his elerk to inform the woman who was waiting in the outer office that unfortunately a contribution could not be spared to-day. A little girl, with a shawl pinned over her head—a girl with a half-fed expression and a general uncared-for look, called out in a plaintive voice: ‘‘Matches, sir—two xes for 5 cents.” oie stopped, and, giving her 6 cents, took the two boxes .of matches. is “Do you keep all you make” “No. I only keep half—Mrs. Johnson gets the other half.” “Who's Mrs. Johnson?” - “The lady I lives with.” | The man dove down into his pocket and fished up a dime. “‘Here’s 10 cents extra for you, mind—not for Mrs. Johnson.” “QO I can’t Go that,” answered the little girl. “You see me mother tole me afore she died that no matter how I was tempted that 1 should keep honest. And then Mrs. Johnson started me in business—she bought the matches for me. I'll have to give her half—it wouldn't be right, you know, to keep it all. ps said the man, quickly— ‘That's true,’’ Kc “here's 10 cents for Mrs. Johnson’’—and his mind the there darted through thought that he, a man of the world, had learned a jJesson from a little child who sold matches. And then, as he moved away, and said “good-night,” he did something strange for a man of the world to do—he lifted his hat to the waif of the streets. And she—she stood stock still, poor little thing, and looked hungrily after him—and she fooked and looked and looked until he was swallowed up in the crowd. Do you want any pencils, sir?

At St. Louis—St. Louls 6, Cincinnati 5. (Eleven innings). Where They Play. Louisville at St. Louis. Philadelphia at Brooklyn. New York at Baltimore, Boston at Washington. Chicago at Pittsburg. Cincinnati at Cleveland. The baseball game between St. Louis and Cincinnati, which wads played at League Park Sunday, brought out the largest crowd that has ever attended a game in St. Louis. Secretary Heilbronner of the St. Louis Club. says that the paid admissions were 26, 320 The grand stand, pavilion and three bleachers were packed to their utmost ca- pacity, and ropes hed to be getretched around the outfield to keep the eager fans from interfering with the playing. The crowd began to gatner at an eariy hour, and long before the game was called tar northand south bleachers were packed. At 2:30 the crush at the main gate was fearful. lt was impossible to get near the en- trance. Everything possible was done to receive the crowd, but the late ones, who were anxious to get in, pushed and crowded SO that it is wonderful that there was no one injured in the jam. Che tair sex turned out In force, and not Only were they in the stand and boxes, bu. fully 100 were standing in the field. The game itself was most exciting and the only thing to mar the day’s pleasure was the ¢«xtremeiy poor decisions by Um- pires Wilson and Vaughn. Through some misunderstanding Presi- dent Nick Young failed to send a pair of umpires to St. Louis, and as a result Wi!- son of the St. Louis Club and Vaughn of Cincinnatj| were chosen to officiate. St. Louis has seen some very poor um- pring. but never before anything to equal hat of Wilson and Vaughn. Last year Cushman and Heydler rendered some very rank decisions on the local grounds and were roundly hissed for it. From beginning to end there was fault to find. aughn of the Cincinnati Club did no doubt what he thought best, and the few mistakes he made could be for- given. But it cannot be said that Wi!son’s showing was satisfactory at any stage of the game, In the seventh inning St. Louis tied the score and th teams.settled down to their best. In the e'ghth, ninth and tenth inn- ings some of the prettiest ball ever played here was witnessed. In the eleventh inn- ing, which was the final, St. Louis man- _ aged to shut Cincinnati out. Powell, the first man up for St. Louis, in their half of the eleventh, received a free pass to first, thanks to the generosity of Umpire Wilson. Burkett, who was ex- pected to bunt, did the unexpected next and pores up a Little fly to second, which McPhee captured. McKean singled past short and Powell ran to second. Heidrick went. out second to first. ‘‘Cunid’’ Childs, the next man, received his base on balls. The bases were now full and the excite- ment was great. Bobby Wallace was the next man up, and, after taking a nice new bat, brushed off the plate and stood ready to tackle one of Breit’s twisters. Wilson now showed his weakness as an umpire. Some very rank umpiring gave Wallace his base on balls and won the game for St. Louis by forcing a winning run over the plate, Of course, the fans cheered to see their team come out victorious, but out of every hundred present felt away down in their hearts that St. Louis had not won on her merita. Cincinnati scored three runs in the first, one in the third and one in the fifth inn- ing. After that Powell pitched fair ball and the magnificent support rendered him kept the Reds from scoring again, t. Louis scored one in the thiray one in the sixth, three in the seventh and one in the eleventh inning, which won the game. he final score was 6 to 6. Powell, the local twirler, was easy for the Reds the first inning, but later in the ame settled down and made a good show- ng. Blake again distinguished himself in center field. He made two of the best catches eeen here in a lomg time. In the tenth inning the pulled down one in the crowd that was a beauty and hail It not been for Heidrick, who collided with him, he would have held it. The fans were yell- ing so loud that the boys could not hear Pat Tebeau calling the ball. . The work of the Cincinnati Infield” was detter than that of St. Louis. They played the game for all it was worth. St. Lovis made a beautiful double play in one in- ning, but outside of that and a great one- handed stop by McKean, their work was only fair.

FIELDS ARE SELECT BUT SMALL The Track Is Now in Fine Shape and | the Form Players Should Now Be Able to Score. It may not be as hard to pick the winners on Monday as it was Saturday afternoon. The Fair Grounds track is now in proper shape and the “plough” horses will have a harder row to hoe over it than they had on. the ovening day. The fields too are seiect, but small, and the form players should now be able to score. The speediest horses will be the ones to pull down the persimmon this time and the races, in fact, will be run strictly on their merits.

Among the eligibles are Abe Cahn’s Southern Girl and Bit of Fashion, Jim Gray's Macy Maree, Leigh & Jordan’s Cheesestraw, Barney Sehreiber’s Foul Play and Elbe, Stubbs Bros.’ Mae Davy and Pat Tomlinson’s May Forbes and Butterfly. Next Saturday the feature at the Fair Grounds will be the Mississippi Valley Stake at a mile. This will) be almost a repetition of the Inaugural Handicap. Many of the horses who went in the latter stake will be eligib'e in next Saturday’s big race. Dr. Sheppard, the winner of the Inaugural, will be in Saturday’s race. So will Fervor, Crocket, Branch and Macy and the winner will come from those five. With a fast track and Thorpe up Dr. Sheppard may duplicate his performance of Saturday. Will Darden was disgusted with the show- ing made by his colt, Leoplanter, in the Inaugural. ““My horse didn’t run his race at all,”’ said Mr. Darden. “Watch him next time he starts and see if I am not right.’’ As the colt starts Monday in a small fleld and is sure to get off well, Mr. Darden’s friends will watch him and back him. It is very seldom that a first day goes by on any track withcut a hcrse being left at the post. Billy Bruen’s record on Saturday, however, was a clean one. In all six races he did not leave a singe horse. Tom McHale is starting the season at the Fair Grounds in tough luck. His grea$®mare, Belle of Memphis, and Our Nellie are both very sick, having contracted bad colds soon after their arrival from Memphis. Brush and the New League. John T. Brush is here with the Cincin- nati Club. If you want to make Brush sore just say ‘‘new baseball league’’ to him, Some one said it Monday morning and Brush replied very testily: ‘IT was under the impreseion that base- ball editors had enough to do watching the championship race, that they were too busy to spend any time indulging in pipe stories,’’ said President Brush. ‘In the winter time when news is scarce it is ex- pected that the enterprising faker will make a mountain out of a mustard seed. It would seem, however, that some of the scribes have time enough to look after the championship race and pipe stories as well” “Do you think the present League cir- cuit will be reduced this season?’’ was asked. “T have answered that question so often in the negative,’ said resident Brush, “that I believe it would be a good idea to have a button for the lapel of my coat bearing the words, ‘The circuit will not Be reduced this season.’ ” Interested in mining?

Lewis Will Be in Rauch’s Corner With Bob Douglas and Harry Forbes Will Second His Brother. Morris Rauch, the great little bantam weight, who is to meet Clarence Forbes, in a twenty-round contest ut the West End Club this Monday night, arrived from Chi- cago on Sunday morning. Rauch has never looked better than he does now, having gotten completely over the sprained hand that troubied him six morths ago. Forbes since his arrival here last Thurs- day has been putting it considerable time at the West End ’s gymnesium and is in the very pink of condition. Jack Lewis came down with Rauch. He Bob Tsougias and Joe Frede will be in Rauch’s corner. l‘orbes will be seconded by his brother, Harry, Ed Lally and Willi Kaufman. Rauch says he has already bet the loser’s end of the purse that he will win. lo do that he will have to defeat a young- ster who since last November has come out victoricus in twenty-two contests. On May 6, at the Woudlawn Cycle Club’: show in Chicago, Forbes defeated Jack Gallagher in two rounds and going rig’nt trom there tu the Woodlawn Club he Whipped Jack Ahern, a 120-pound man, in three rounds. ' Chicago has sent considerable money here to het on Forbes and St. Loulsans who have seen Rauch “mill” and whe have such a high regard for his ability as a boxer ae coppered all the bets that were of- rered, The curtain-raiser will be a four-round bout between Henry Yagels and Will Mc- Ciure. They will box fer a decision. They are two clever 135-pound men, Yagels be- ing at one time the champion amateur lightweight of St. Louls. President Haughton gives his word for it that the curtain-raiser will be started at prompt 8:30 and that the main event will be pulied off at prompt 9 p. m. He is de- termined that there shall not be a single tedious moment's wait. Dave Nelson will be master of ceremonies Monday night, and Joe Stewart, as usual, will officiate as reforee. Kid McCoy, who is now at Denver, when asked about the stery going the rounds adout Choynski having been drugged the night they met at San Francisco only smiled and said: “That story is in keeping with the other ridiculous yarns as to my heart being af- fected or that I had consumption. The oniy thing that drugged Choynski that night was the punching I gave him. That right hand jolt in the fifth round wae the drug that dazed him, you may believe me.” For the present McCoy will take life easy, spending several months in the mountains of Colorado hunting and fishing with friends. He will give several exhibi- tions through the State, also presenting his famous bag-punching act. As to his fight- ing in Denver there:is a possibility of his doing so. The Kid is enthusiastic over the outlook for the fistic sport. in Colorado. He en- terd into an animated conversatton regard- ing the programme of the Colorado Ath- letic Association for,the next few months. When he had been tnformed of the plans as made up to this time, he showed his interest in more ways than one. After pondering a few minutes he said: ‘Here is a letter from Billy Brady which was handed mre as I left the hotel dining room this morning. It is of a personal na- ture, but Brady advises me to stay in Colo- rado until late next fall. He says the Jel- fries-Fitzsimmons contest will be decided in Denver and he wants to take a trip into the mountains for several weeks after he brings his heavy-weight here. This just suits me and I will arrange for a camping trip through some of your mountain val- leys where there is plenty of good fishing. “Mrs. Shelby is very fond of outdoor life, and as I am a great lover of this sport, I will organize a party for a wagon trip of at least a month’s duration in July and August, when, I understand, the best fish- ing is to be had here. Brady will be sure tc join, and there are a number of other sporting men who will come to see Fitz and the boilermaker spar who will be only too glad to become one of us.” In the bag punching contest Sunday given by the Swink Athletic Club at Marine, IIL, Joseph Kelledy cleverly defeated P. J. Mc- Nainara and J. J. Russell for a $100 purse and ‘gold medal. Johnnie Richie, St. Louis’ great little box- er, is in New York. He has signei thie articles of agreement to meet Terrence Me- Govern at the Westchester Athletic Club on June 17. All arrangements for this bout are perfected, save as to.the selection of a ref- eree. The McGovern party insist upon Tim Hurst filling that position, while Richle and his friends will not Hsten io Hurst xacting. They will accept any other good man, but prefer Jimmy Carroll or George Siler. It is evifient that Jim Corbett ‘ntends to quit the ring for good, for when he was asked the other day if he would meet (Jus Ruhlin he sald emphatically: ‘‘No, I'm devoted to my business and will leave box- ing alone for good and always. Nothing will induce me to return to the ring.” DES PERES GOLDEN JUBILEE. German Evangelical Lutheran Church Celebrates Its Fiftieth Anniversary. The congregation of the Des Peres Ger- man Evangelical Lutheran Church cele- brated the golden jubilee of Its organization Sunday. The services began in the morning and continued throughout the day.

Dr. Bennett Telis of the Great Ben- efits to Be Derived from the Proper Application of Electricity, Which Has Been the Life Study of the Doctor. I know to-day that Dr. Bennett’s Elec- tric Belt is the greatest curative agent known to modern science. Before its po- tent but invisible flame alli the ills, aches and pains with which humanity is affilcted will vanish like dew before the morning's sun. It cannot fail to cure—failure is simply impossible—tor Electricity is the Nerve and Vital Force of every man_and woman. When there is a lack of. Blec- tricity in the system disease immediately attacks the weakest part. Unless this lost Electricity can be supplied, you cannot be well again. That is just what my Belt is for—to supply the lost Electricity. Dr. Bennett’s Electric Belt Is not like the other electric and so-called electric belte. I wi! forfeit $1,000 in gold if it does not gener- ate a genuine cur- rent of electricity that you can stantly feel—a rent four stronger than given by any other belt. Has soft, silken chamois - covered electrodes that prevent that ¢ burning and blister- ing caused by the bare metal electrodes used on all other be'ts. These bare electrodes — if there is enough current to be curative — burn so badly that you can not wear them more than half an hour at a time. You will understand this is not nearly long enough to effect a cure. My Electric Belt can be worn, if necessary, for twenty- four hours at a time without the slightest inconvenience to the patient—in faccx it is a pleasure—a deiightful sensation to wear it. Only $5, $7, $10 and $12. My Belt is a positive Cure for Sexual Impotency, Lost Manhood, Varicocele, Sper- matorrhoea and all Sexual Weaknesses; restore shrunken or Undeveloped Parts and Lost Vitality; Cure Rheumavism in every guise, Kidney, Liver and Bladder Troubles, Constipation, Dyspepsia, Female Com- plaints, etc. Call or write.

Before 7 o'clock an alarm of fire was telephoned to the police station. The officer whe took it un- derstood the excited person at the other end of the ‘phone to say that there was a conflagration at the residence of Lee Harrison, The bells were sounded and the firemen Were told that the fire was at the Harrisog residency, ‘The Market Square and Jackson Street Engine companies, being about equally distant from the residence, which is at the corner of High and Second streets, dashed up at the same time, and the book and ladder truck fellowed immediately. The firewen reeled off the hese and the ladder men got ready to save lives. Members of the family who had just arisen ran to the windows and looked with amazement upon the preparations to begin a bombardment with water. They did not rs first realize that their own citadel was to be attacked until the firemep dragged the bese into the yard and pointed the nozzles at. the windows -while they shouted for the water to be turned on. The family got away from the windows quickly, and Mr. Harrison, who began to think a practicg] jéke wags being played on him, put on his rubber coat and came out to protest that the joke had gone far enough. lere, " he shouted, to do?’’ ‘‘Where’s. the fire?’’ with another question. “Search me,’’ said Mr, Harrison. ‘‘what are you fellews going they auswered exeitedly ‘‘Il haven't got “Ain't your house afire?'’ they asked, ‘Not in the least, ’* said Mr, Harrison. *“‘Are you sure?"’ ‘S've been around here all morning, and this ts the first I've heard of any fire.. 1.am sorry to dis- appoint ‘you, gentlemen, but we haven't a singie fire about the place, except the one in the range. The firemen swore some choice German swears and began to reel up their hose. In the meantime people four blocks further south on High street Bad been anxiously awaiting the fire-fighters. After sevéral fervid telephone conversations, which onty elicited the fact that the fire apparatus had started down that way ve Fa roe utes before, the people turned ip and put out phe fire themselves, which was only a Litele roof Cie caused by a defective flue. When the firemen finally reached the place they were told with fine scorn that the house had burned down. When they asked whére it had stood they were shown a new house a few doors awa ‘The owner let a contract and had it rebuilt while you were getting here,'’ they were told. BIRTHS RECORDED.

SLIGHT CHANGES IN PRICES, The Stability of Standard Securiiies Seem to Assure a High Level. —_ NEW YORK, May 15.—Speculation on the Stock Exchange to-day was expected to reflect more clearly to what extent public apprehension bad been excited by the death of the recognised leader in the street. Sat- urday’s market was of too brief duration to convey fully the probable course of stock values in the near future. During the in- terval over Sunday abundant opportunity was afforded for the substantial interests in the market to outline a programme which would inure to the stability of prices and preserve public confidence. While it was universally conceded that an immense amount of gilt-edge stocks and. bonds had to be sacrificed on Saturday to protect commitments in the specialties, it Wwas claimed that these seourities were ab- sorbed by investment buyers who are not influenced by the spasmodic onslaughts of the bears. The opening day was characterized by comparative dullness and prices favoring a high level. It seemed to be the policy of the reputed backers of the market to let it take its own course for the time, but stood ready to lend effective assistance in sustaining prices. Feverishness soon devel- oped, but the variations did not exceed a point except in the specialties, where realiz- ations and short sales at times made an jmpression on prices. The stability of the standard stocks excited favorable comment, and the opinion in the street appearen to be that the flurry was Over, e market falling into quietude after the opening, EDWARDS WANTS HIS CHILD. Makes Another Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Harry L. Edwards made another applica- tion Menday afternoon to Judge Withrow for a writ of habeas corpus, authorizing him to take his 9-year-old daughter, Willie May, from the cusiody of bis wife, Mrs. Jessie P. Edwards, The application will be heard Tuesday afternoon at2o0 ’clack. He instituted a similar proceeding in Judge Spencer’s court last 4 areh, but his application was denied, the court remarking that Edwards had failed to sustain any of the allegations against his wife’s character that he had made in his petition. But he is armed this time with a decree of a Fort Worth (Tex.) court awarding him custody of the child, and he bases his application upon this decree. Edwards claims ‘his wife is not a fit per- son to have oharge of her daughter and says he is willing to give her 4 good edu- cation and the soelal advantages'to which she has been accustomed. Edwards now has a suit for $10,000 dam- ages pending against a railroad man whom he charges with alienating his wife’s af- fections. He says he is a newspaper man and is eonneeted with the Monterey, Mex., Globe. Mrs. Edwards lives in Texas, but, at present, is visiting her sister at 3426 Pine street. GEN. WHEELER NOT SNUBBED. Emphatic Denial of the Story That He Was Treated Badly at the Reunion. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 15.—Gen. Joseph Wheeler requests the Associated Press to deny the widely circulated story to the effect that he was snubbed by the Committee of Arrangements at the Con- federate reunion at Charleston. Gen. Wheeler states that the rumors probably started from the failure of the committee to send him a carriage in which to ride in the parade. The committee told the Gen- eral that the carriage would be sent but the committeeman having the matter in charge, in the prees of other business, for- got it. The General states that the inci- dent was fully explained to him and that he treated it as a joke. He emphatically denis that hr wasSHRDLUaoinshrdlucmw denies hat there was any unpleasantness.

Capt. Maynard’s Away at ALL THE BOATS WHISTLED. GUT THE CITY GENERALLY WAS STILL ASLEEP. Bome Pertinent Stories of How Near the Ship Came to Being Turned Back at Cape Gir- ardeau. God speed the Nashvilie! The little cruiser weighed anchor and turned her nose downstream while Si. Louis still slept Monday morning. The city slept, but not the water front. Ebvery craft in the harbor that had steam up whistled a farewell to the ship. It was betweeen the dawn and daylight when she slipped away. St. Louis disliked to have that unseemly hour, for the city would fain have given a rous- ing good-by and said bon voyage unani- mously. But the Captain of a warship is above sentiment and sun-up must be his sailing time regardless of the fitness of the hour for other considerations. The ship's visit leaves a feeling of regret— regret that she did not 6tay longer. The princes of good fellows in the wardroom and the scrappy heroes forward made friends ashore who will remember their visit here always, and in the same moment think of how much pleasanter the visit would have been had Capt. Maynard ac- ceded to the general request for a pro- tracted stay. Sunday was a gala day aboard ship, and @ halarious time ashore. Visitors were per- mitted on the Nashville between 9:30 a m. and noon. In the afternoon the postoffice employes, headed by Postmaster Baumhofl were received on board. The officers entertained friends in the wardroom. The long distance telephone played an important part in the day's @musement. The Nashville officers called up Washingion and established telephonic communication with officers from the Dol- phin, who have just returned from a long cruise. Lieut. Quinby called up a brother in Rochester, N. Y., whom he had not seen in years. Police Cavtain O'Malley took care of the crowds during the day and handied the pushing throng excellently. So well did the lice handle the people that the ship’s of- cers were put to no trouble in that di- rection. The morning paper statement that the Spread Eagle's passengers hissed Lieut Quinby becauee they were not permitted to board the Nashville is erroneous, The steamboat people hissed nobody, and Lieut, Quinby was not the officer who communi- cated with them. In the evening the wardroom officers Were the guests of Capt. O'Malley and @thers at Forest Park Highlands. There is a souvenir of the Nashville visit @t Bloser’s, 418 Olive street, which the Proprietor would not part with for any , he says. Thursday night a company eum ‘of 16 jackies went into the place and began to “mop up’ liquor, They had a royal time. Henry Hoffmann, the ‘“‘affable mixer’ on duty, entertained thé sailors in @ way that kept them there until closing- time. The sailors had imbibed some $12 or $15 worth of stuff. Tey divided the ex- pense and each jackie tendered his pro fata. The mixer declined to accept any of it, saying the Nashville money was coun- ferfeit in that saloon. Well, the jackies Bimply climbed over the bar and held Hoff- n while one of their company pasted ree one-dollar bills on the back mirror with a U.S. S. Nashville cap ribbon above it and a piece of paper below bearing the ed legend: “Money that was refused from the crew of the-N:¢wiville.” After that the jackies and the mixer Went out and saw things. The sailors took him aboard the ship and filled his pockets with war relics. St. Louis came nearer than she knew of Got seeing the Nashville. But for the ac- tion of the wardroom officers the ship would have been turned back after she left airo. After having crossed the worst Plave on the trip—the sandbar off Commer. Clal Point--Capt. Maynard wanted to turn back. Cape Girardeau was the port that night. After dropping anchor Capt. May- nard said he -would go no further: that it Was not safe. His officers remonstrated and reminded him that the country would consider them all weak-kneed if they should 3 fail to accomplish what they set aut to do when they left New Orleans. The possi- Dility of an inquiry by the Navy Depart- ment was mentioned. The prospect was mighty dubious all evening. Salling orders for 4 o'clock the next morning had been given. Mr. Bierman of the St. Louis committee, who was on board, leaded with Capt. Maynard to not turn ck. Mr. Bierman offered te wire St. Louis and ascertain just what the stage of water was at the shallow places yet to be Gealt with. It was thoroughly understood on board that unless the reply to the tele- ph should report conditions more favor- ble than the pilots said they were. the ship og turn back. ne of the newspaper men on board se the query for Mr. Bierman. The ao was come in the name of the newspaper man, and Mr. Bierman’'s promise had been ven that the answer would be sent to pt. Maynard. This was early tn the evening. While awaiting the reply. the Wardroom officers succeeded ‘in having the steamer Grapevine, with Lieut. Magruder Pilot Good and three of the Nashville crew pull out and go up stream. And the @nswer to the telegram, well—Capt. May- nard never saw it, None came. At 4 Oclock in the morning the Nashville was a th wae ane pea steamed many miles e river before Capt. May i ey I laynard was The Nashville was drawing 12 eg oy and considerably re en @ehe crossed the bar at Comme Point. The leadsman was on the ecce. vine, which was slowly leading the war- ship by about 200 yards. Those on the Washville could not hear the calls of the rapevine leadsman. But this is what he once: “By the mark—twain!” Now that meant two fathoma or 12 feet the Nashville was bound to touch. © Grapevine was ahead for the purpose ; penaing gg ves 8 Places and the Nash- as to turn back whe . - he found only 12 feet. coe cue ell, little Cox, the Nashville apprentice nn SD tee ttt reteset feet 4 less forward A PURE GRAPE CREAM OF TARTAR POWDER ‘DR: pale | Awarded _, Highest Honors, World's Pair ner . . ae ‘ ” . > f ee ee fe yn feet.” ; eamahow Lieut.

Dillingham signaled to the engine-room “full speed ahead.” and the Nashville Jumped over the bar. THE POSTOFFICE EMPLOYES. They Had a Successful Parade and a Visit to the Nashville. The employes of the St. Louis postoffice, to the number of 700, the various Federal authorities and a sprinkling of city offi- cials, including Mayor Ziegenhein, were ac- corded a poasty welcome Sunday after- noon by the officers and crew of the Nashville. The jackies who had remajned aboard took special delight in showing the visit- ors around and explaining to them the in- tricacies of a modern cruiser. The friend- ship was, perhaps, mutual, from the fact that the sailor boys and their guests of yesterday are paid from the same cash box and work for the same employer. There was but a single regret, caused by the announcement that Capt. Maynard and his men would bid farewell to St. Louis harber in the morning. , (incle Henry was there to urge the Com- mander to prolong his stay, but he was doomed to disappointment. Capt. Maynard was then in the city enjoying the cool of a grassy lawn in the West End. The parade preceding the visit was a brilliant success. It was carefully ar- ranged and well carried out. The smallest detail was not neglected. The excellent order maintained might have furnished valuable pointers for Mr. Kennett and oth- ers, Postmaster Baumhoff said im advance that the procession would move without a hitch. So it did. The clerks in their blue uniforms, the letter carriers in gray, presented a fine appearance—it was a happy blending of colors and was displayed to good effect. The parade moved north on Ninth to Lo- cust street, to Seventh street, to Wash- ington avenue, to Broadway, to Market, to Fourth, to Olive, and east to Levee. The sidewalks along the line of march were crowded with admiring epectators. The applause was loud and frequent There was one feature of the parade that made, to use the small boy’s expression, ‘‘a big hit.”” That was the division of car- riages containing the young lady clerks. Ag they passed in review on Fourth street an enthusiastic ovation was accorded them. In each department the men doffed their caps and cheered, while the fair occupants threw roses in recognition. Several hand- some young women from the money order division attracted much attention, They carried huge bouquets, which were distri- buted among the favorites before the wharf was reached. Mayor Ziegenhein, R. C. Kerens, E. F. W. Meier, President of the Council, and Wil- liam M. Tamblyn, Speaker of the House, rode in the first carriage. following them were United States Judge Elmer B. Adams, Collector of the Revenue H. C. Griener, Subtreasurer George H. Small, District Attorneys Rozier and Ses- sing haus, Postoffice Inspeetor Dice, Mar- shal Louls H. Bohle, Commissionér Gray and others. Mention, too, must be made of Dr. Rich- ard J. Hyatt, the Government Forecaster, who ventured forth in the role of a private citizen. He owas in an open carriage with another dignitary of the weather bureau. “Doctor, aren’t you afraid of rain?” some one asked, , no,” replied the meteorological. king, “to-day is my day off, and the skies are ordered to be clear.”’ ‘ It was an ideal day. Postmaster Baum- hoff and his assistant walked at the head of the parade proper. Preceding them was the letter carriers’ band, which played a mediey of popular airs en route and en- tertained the jolly tars, with all sorts of for some reason queried doudly ‘national tunes, from the ‘‘Wearing of the Green” to thé “Star Spangled Baaner." Next in line came the special delivery boys, followed by the letter carriers,. Fed- eral Building employes, East St. Louis Postofiice employees, drum corps, city dis- tributing division, registry and money or- der divisions. The trip to the cruiser was made on the Cily of Providence. There was no crush getting on or off the boat. Orders were given and executed promptly under direc- tion of Marshal Hy Smith, assisted by Supt. 8S. Saxe, Rehn, Lynchery, and Strupe. here was a bevy of pretty girls who came aboard the Nashville from a special tug, and mistook two Postoffice clerks for Lieutenants of the ship. The boys played the joke to a finish, and whe young iadies did not discover their mistake until leaving time. Lieut. Quinby and other officers were kept busily engaged. At 4:30 o’clock the big party returned, and remarched to the Postoffice, where the pa- rade disbanded. CRUISER AT CAPE GIRARDEAU. The Nashville Will Stop With South- east Missourians One Day. The Nashville will stop at Cape Girardeau one day on her seaward journey. She will arrive there Wednesday morning and leave at daylight Thursday, reaching Cairo about 10 o'clock. Southeast Missouri citizens have arranged to give the cruiséra royal reception. Dick Gannon, who euperintends the water works at Cape Girardeau and owns a whole lot of other things, was one of the chief factors in. arranging for the boat's stay there. He represented Mayor W. H. Coer- ver and Congressman Vandiver of the Cape Girardeau district and attended to all of the fine work necessary in arranging the date and reception, ‘Mr. Gannon conferred with Capt. May- nard of the N ville at Cairo. He went to Cape Girar@tau on the steamer Grape- vine and from there to St. Louls on the Nashville. The officers will be banqueted Wednes- day evening and thousands of visitors are expected at the metropolis of Southeast Missouri, CAPTURE OF CAMP JACKSON. It Was Celebrated Sunday by the Col.

Many National Committeeman Have Signified Their Intention of Be- ing Present on May 25. Now that the Nashville has come and gone, people have time to wpive their at- tention to the next patriotic affair-—the anti-trust dinner at the Coliseum, May 2%. Last Saturday was to have been the last day for receiving acceptances of invita- tions, but the committee las extended the time, owing to the general turmoil in town over. the Nashville, which doubtless took men’s thoughts from the dinner. Only 8t. Louisans are slow in this re- gard. Replies have been received from all the invitations sent outside of the city. Among the guests of honor who have ac- cepted invitations are: A. H. Thompson, Grand Island, Neb., a national committee- man; John Gilbert Shanklin, Evaneville, Ind., national committeemun; Urey Wood- son, Owensboro, Ky., national committee- man; Walter Watsoa, Mt.

T., who jdonated one of the oaseare to be presented for Democratic ains. While a great many national committee- men will be present, so far as the dinner committee knows there will be no meeting of that body at St. Louis. The date, May 35, wil! not have to te changed. Col. bryan, ths particular gucst of honor, was rotitied the eommitiee that the time will suit 11s convenience.

Mr. Schrops will probably have a dress rehesreal of his entire banquei force prior to the dav of the dinner. HE DIED WN CHURCK ‘PRIDE IN HIS SON OVERCAME JOHN L. DEFFNER. John L. Deffner of Belleville dropped dead Sunday morning in a church in the suburbs of Milwaukee. He was taking part in the services preliminary to the ser- mon which was to be preached by his son, Rev. H. Deffner of Kansas. The father was to hear his son preach for the first time, Emotion overcame him, his heart stopped beating and he fell forward dead. The young minister came from Kansas a few days ago with his wife to visit his father-in-law, Edward Kerler, a farmer near Milwaukee. The elder Deffner, by prearrangement, met him there and a fam- ily reunion was held. Rev. Morrow, the pastor of St. John’s Evangelical~ Church, invited the young minister to occupy the pulpit of the church Sunday, and the invitation was accepted, The entire household went to chufch, and old Mr. Deffner was in exceptionally good spirits. The young minister gave.out a hymn, His father turned to the place and arose with the congregation. He sang with zest. When the congregation was seated Rev, Deffner reai his text. The pride and joy of his father was so gréat that:it overcame him. He fell forward out of his pew. H3 was carried to the open air and every ef- fort made to bring him back to conscious- ness, but he died before a physician arm rived. His son was prostrated with grief. The body will be taken to Belleville for interment. The deceased Was a prominent Lutheran churchman, and was one of the oldest Lutheran teachers in the West. He was well known in Illinois and the sur- rounding states. He was 72 years old. A TEAMSTER’S THROAT CUT. James Haggerty Perhaps Fatally in- jured by an Old Enemy. James Haggerty, a teamster, 33 years old, of 1304 Cass Avenue, engaged in a row in front of Evers’ saloon, 2349 Benton street Sunday afternoon, and emerged with his throat slit almost from ear to ear. He is in the City Hospital im danger of death, and Louis and Henry Kohrmann, father and son, of 2554 Benton street, are under arrest awaiting results. The row arose between Haggerty and | Henry Kohrmann over an old grudge be- | tween Haggerty and Louis Kohrmann. All | three met and quarreled in the _ saloon) earlier in the afternoon, but separated; then they met outside and resumed hostili- ties. aggerty struck Louis Kohrmann drew a razor and slashed Haggerty’s | throat; then both Kohrmanns fled. At the hospital Haggerty’s windpipe was | found to be severed, and life were considered slim. The arrested Kohrmanns were taken before him_ end he identified the younger as his assailant. Both men are held. CROSSED ELECTRIC WIRES. They Caused a Costly Fire Sunday Night in a Broadway Building.

The loss on their furniture and stock ‘s not known, The fire was caused by crossed electric wires on the fifth floor, near the elevator shaft. An effort was made at first to ex- tinguish it with the chemical engine, but it was soon found necessary to call several addtional companies to the rescue. The greater part of the damage to the stock was caused by wa which was burned Jan, 26, and in which the lives of many firemen were lost while trying to extinguish the flames. ST.

Boys Were Scuffiing and Playing Near Meramec Highlands When the Weapon Was Discharged. Admiral Hodges, the 19-year-old son of John Hodges of Rose Hill, was fatally shot Sunday afternoon by his second cousin, Engene Hogan, near Meramec Highlands. Hogan, his younger brether, Archie, and Hodges had been shooting in the woods dur- ing the day and were returning leisurely home. They were in a playful mood and were bantering each other for wrestling bouts. Hogan had the only gun in the crowd, a No. 12, single-barreled shotgun. Hodges had it in his possession and Hogan said he would take it from him. They closed in a scuffle and Hogan finally jerked the gun from“Nis playmate’s hand and stepped back several] feet : Hodges picked up a stone and said jlaugh- ingly that while Hogan had taken the gun away from him, he. would make him dance. They talked for several seconds, both in great merriment, ‘when Hogan accidentally pulled the trigger of the gun. The whole charge entered Foages’ head and he fell to the ground, lying {n a moment, Hogan was almost wild with grief. A Coroner’s jury was summoned and, after hearing evidence in the case and view- ing the body, hela4 Hogan for the grand jury. One of the jurors said that while there was no evidence of malice in the deed, it had appeared from the testimony that Ho- gan had not acted with proper care. It was claimed he made statements that were con- tradicted by his younger brother, Archie, who witnessed the shooting. Hodges was employed by the Terminal Railway Co. His father is an invalid and it is feared he will not survive the shock of his son’s death. SHOWS IN THE OPEN AND IN THEATERS. The opening of the season at the Subur- ban Garden Sunday was so successful that | Messrs... Jannopoulo and Gumpertz bought mineral water and cigars for each other and their friends after each performance. The attendance was larger by several hun- dred than on any other opening day. The garden is prettier than ever. There are new walks, new shrubbery, much fresh aint and a handsome new pavillion. The 6st mentioned feature will add greatly to the comfort of the Suburban’s pacrons. The roof is so high that it does not im- pair the open-air effect. Yet it protecte the audience from sun in the afternoon and dew at night, to say nothing of the shelter it affords in case of rain. The Suburban, because of its high location, is certainly the coolest of the St. Louis summer gar- dens. The fact that the performance on the stage can be seen free is also a reco- mendation to many people. There were three times as many people in the free seats Sunday afternoon as there were un- der the pavillion. The bill is a good one. The leading fea- ture is ‘“‘Wig and:.Gown,”’ a bright little comedy that Rosina Vokes used to play ‘tn. Laura Joyce Bell, wife of our old friend, Digby Bell, takes the part of Polly Mead- owleigh, which ‘Miss Vokes used to play. ‘Mrs. Bell's strong, melodious speaking voice and her fine stage presence stood her in good stead. Her:company is a capable one. Zeno Carl and-Zeno, aerial gymnaeets, delighted the.spectators with their realiy wonderful feats; Carroll Mayer and Car- roll, sing and dance. and make fun; Clyo and Rochelle do some remarkable tumbling; Charley Case tells a lot of new things about his father;: the Century Comedy Four sing the old«songs, Morrisey and Cameron kick and dence and make people laugh. Altogether it is a gédod bill and should draw.well, .« Cal. dohn D. Hopkins’ fourth summer en- teruiinment.seasonjat Forest Park High- lands was opened Sunday afternoon and evening. The crowds were large and the business satisfactory. Many improvements have been made on the grounds and buildings. Two new pa- vijions and a new bandstand have been built and the covered walk to the car tracks has been considerably enlarged. The sum- mer theater has also been subjected to many improvements. The roof of the pa- vilion has been raised and the posts which seriously obstructed the view of the stage have been removed and iron trusses, locked and supported high above the audiunce, have been substituted for thum. The stage has been enlarged and new scenery has been added. Col. Hopkins thinks he is now prepared to make 10,000 persons comfortable under shelter at Highlands, the summer theater alone seating 4000 persons. It is estimated that 2000 persons visited the Highlands Sunday. The Police Relief Association is having a benefit this week in the pavilion and the patrons are being treateu ty a good van- deville show. Lew Hawkins leads the bill with a funny monologue and funnier songs. The Metweef troupe of Russian singers, dancers and acrobats, who have been seen in St. Louis before, perform some difficult tional dances in a graceful way. Mlle. much drapery, does some dances thut ure worth going far to see. The other num- bers of the bill are McAvoy and May, who do a comedy sketch, featured as “the fun- niest act in vaudeville;”’ the three Mor- tons—Sam, Kittie and pretty Clara Louise in a gong and dance act; LeClair and Hayes, singers and dancers; and the Em- pire Comedy Four, vocalists and comedians. This is the last week of the Columbia sea- son, and the bill contains some of the best season. Janet Melville and Evie Stetson probably scored the greatest success. It was the first public appearance on a St. Louis stage of these two talented and hand- some women in several years, and there was a deal of curiosity among their admir- ers as to whether they were as clever as ever. The verdict last night was favorable. and their costumes are rich and becoming.
