The policy of the Democratic party has ever been to grant “home rule” to every locality as far as it can be done consistent with @ proper regard for the sovereignty of the Staie, and with the State's obliga- tion under the Constitution of the United States. Thie is exemplified by sec. B® of art. 12 of the Constitution, whigh prohib- its the General Assembly from g anting the right to construct or operate a street railway within any city, town, village or on any public highway without first acquiring the consent of the local authorities having control of the street or highway. Prior to the adoption of this provision the General Assembly wae importuned at every session for grants of such franchises, and some of those granted did not properly guard the public welfare, so much so that the locali- ties have ever since been embarrassed in dealing with pomnentos holding these State charters. This ll contains a prohibition against granting a right to construct or op- erate a street railroad on any street with- out the consent of the property owners owning a majority in front feet of the prop- erty fronting on the street where the street Faliroad is to run.

The eame question arose in Adams Px- ress ©Co. vs. Ohio State Auditor, 16 U. 19%, and Adams Express Co. vs. Indiana, and United States mp) gm Co, vs. Indiana, 16 U. 8. 265, wherein the valuation returned by the express companies was 962.9, and the Board of Bqualization raised the valuation of that property to $4,249,702.63, and where the ablest and most conserva- tive court in the country, the Supreme Court of the United Gtates, thus disposed of.thia miserable quibble and harping on words, by 'which property of the greatest value was sought to be withdrawn from taxation: “The first question to be coneidered, therefore, is, whether there is belonging to these express companies, intangible p erty, property differing from the tangib property, @ property created either by the combined use, or the manner of use of the eeparate articles of tangible property or the ant or acquisition of franchises or privileges, or altogether. To say that there can be no such int ble property, to say that it is something of no value, is to insult the common intelligence of every man.” ‘"Now it ie a cardinal rule, that whatever property is worth for the purposes of in- come and sale, it ia also worth for the pur- poses of taxation. The capital stock of a corporation and the shares in a joint stock company represent not only the tangible property, but also the intangible, including therein all corporate franchises and all con- tracts, privileges and good will of the con- cern, ccumulated wealth will laugh at the crudity of taxing laws which reach only the one and ignore the other, while ae who own tangible property, not organ- ized rnto a single producing plant, will feel the Injustice of a system which so mis- places the burden of taxation.” The State Board of Equalization, in as- seasing the property of the St. uls & Suburban Raliroad Co., first assessed all its tangible property at so much by epecific enumeration, and then assessed the vaive of its property resulting from the combined use of all ite tangible property at so much. It then deducted from the latter figure the segregate value of the tangible property. and listed for taxation 3 per centum of the residue under the term “al other property.” The method of taxation thus adopted waa strictly proper. The only complaint that can be made against it is that it liste for taxation only © per cenitum of the actual y taxes uation of pany now eeek* to change this resolution by substituting for the words “all other property” the word “franchises,” so as to lay the foundation for a claim that the board eingled out one item of value without warrant of law.

HS DUTY NEGLECTED = SUPREME COURT DECIDED AGAINST JOHN K. CUMMINGS. IN FAVOR OF THE COLLECTOR. Court Holds Mr. Cummings Could Have Saved lis Double Assess- jy ment by Doing His Duty. The Supreme Court In banc at Jefferson | City Monday morning reversed the judg- ment of the Circuit Court of St. Louts City in the suit of Charles F. Wenneker, col- lector of revenue, to collect taxes upon the personal property of John K. Cummings for the years 189% and 1895, and remanded the cause to the Circuit Court, with direc- tions to enter judgment for the plaintiff for the amount of the taxes certified, together with the interest, penalties and costs. Chief Justice Gantt wrote the opinion, in which all the other judges concur except Valliant, who did not sit. In this caee the taxes for the first year were $471.50 and for the second year $512.50. The defendant got judgment in the Cir- cuit Court, from which the plaintiff ap- pealed to the Supreme Court, where that ay ag was reversed with directions. After citing the record in the case the court in the opinion says: The plea of the @onstitutional provision that taxes shall be uniform will not avall a tax- payer who has been scrupulously accorded all the protection of the Constitution, and who expressly waives its protection and seeks to vielate its spirit by casting upon his nejgh- bor that portion of the burden he should bear. Defendant's contention. that because the dis- trict collector did not itemize the various pieces and kinds of personal property he bad no jurisdiction to assess him in any sum whatever is not sound. By a simple compll- ance with a just and reasonable law he could have avoided the very thing of which he :om- plains. But this is not all. Defendant had another day in court, so to speak. Having been not!l- fied to make his list and having refused ab- solutely to do so, the district assessor, upon his best information, assessed him. and the Roard of Assessors doubled his valuation as a penalty. in pursuance of section 7536, Re- vised Statutes, 1889. After citing the authority of the Board of Equalization of St. Louis City to hear and determine such appeals, the court sdys: Defendant neglected to avail himself of this second opportunity to secure a just and equal assessment of his property. The court bolds that the mere mingling in one item of all the per- sonal property of defendant was nothing more than an tIrregularity, or error, which could have been corrected on appeal, and that the action of the Assessor is quasi-judicial and when, as in thia case, bis valuation and assesa- ment were not appealed from, becomes con- clusive wpon thé taxpayer. After a careful search we find no error which would justify an Iinter- ference with the judgment by us. M’GINLEY DIDN'T FEEL GAY. McCoy Shot Him Because He Wouldn’t Go Pleasure Hunting.

In his testimony before the Industrial Commission, President “mother of all trusts.” He declared that the government plundered the pédrle through the tariff for the benefit of the trusts. « ,f6 1% One trust—the greatest industrial trust—which Was not mothered by the protective tariff. That is the Stand- ard Ojl Trust. Saturday, L. M. Lockwood, a Pennsylvania oil producer, told the Industrial Commission how it had crushed out competition and obtained control of the oil wells. It was through railroad discrimination. The Standard Oil combine Was favored with enormous rebates at the expense of its competitors, who were ruined by the system. With the profits of discrimination Legislatures and courts were corrupted. This information is not new. It has been told and retold. Other combinations besides the Standard Oil have profited and crushed competitors through railroad discrimination. It is a monster evil which must be destroyed before the trusts can be controlled. Mr. Lockwood is so hopeless of controlling rail- road corporations, or of preventing railroad corporations from controlling the government, that he wants the government to take possession of the railroads. The Industrial Commission is doing good work. It is pojnt- ‘mg out the causes and means of trust oppression. It is ex- yosing the privileges and advantages upon which trust wrong ‘ests. The issue is being clarified. _, - a The World's Tair subscription lists are to St. Louis so many olis of honor.

The “Law Notes,” a law magazine of some authority, is op- owed to secrecy in divorce proceedings, especially when the @ivate hearing is procured in deference to wealth. . “We insist,” says this periodical, “that even if millionaires are willing to swap wives while crossing a stream, they should be required to go over a bridge, and that the drawbridge Should be opened and they should be halted long enough to @ilow the public to know what they are doing.” The comment is well timed. There have been several cases @uring the past few years in which the courts have weakly dered to the claims of wealth and social influence and ted private bearings to which the perties were in no wise entitled. ) The gilded children of plutocracy will play their pranks iike common folks, but while they are members of a communi- ty where the laws are equal they should not be permitted to claim a privilece of privacy not enjoyed by others. It is no Gout very distressing to these gentle people to have their Goings investigated by vulgar courts in open day and made Public by horrid newspapers, but their feelings are not im- ‘portant. They are entitled to no more In this respect than the meanest citizen. If they don't like notoriety let them behave Ives. hh ie _ —-_ ™ ‘Train robbers are hanged in some States, but in no State railroad managers hanged for conspiracy with the Stand- ‘ard Oil monopwly to rob the public. _— = COST OF STREET LIGHTING *. It ts becoming evident that an attempt will be made to com- St. Louis to pay $100 or more for each are light at the tion of the present lighting contracts. It is claimed the price now paid, $74.95 per lamp, is so low that the tracting company, which put in the bid at that figure, bankrupted in attempting to fill the contract. a ght schedules and counting in interest and depreciation of plant. Are our city officials so subservant to corporation contractors Are our city officials so subservient to corporation contrac- tors that they will deliberately consent to let the city become the victim of a fleecing contract? Will citizens submit with- out protest? ——— = = — SS The Chicago idea that the streets of a city belong to its people was brought out in Illinois by a hard and persevering fight against corrupt legislation approved by a corrupt Gov- ernor. The streets of St. Louis’ belong to the people of this | city and we must fight for them. ‘ - re A TAX-DOOGING CONSPIRACY It is evident that a conspiracy is afoot to defeat franchise taxation by juggling with the resolution of the State Board of Equalization. Proceeding in conformity with the Constitution, which pro- vides that all the property of corporations shall be taxed and that no property shall be exempted, the Board of Equalization has framed a@ resolution taxing not only the real property of the St. Louis & Suburban Raflway, but its franchises included under the term, “all other property,” the value of which was ascertained by the cash value of the stocks and bonds less the ossessed value of its real property. This resolution is in harmony with the Constitution and the laws, but the corporation's attorneys, in order to gain, in the test cose, an advantage by a legal quibble, want the resolution so worded that the tax will be levied specifically on the “fran- chise”’ of the corporation. They hope to win by pleading that the Legislature has not definitely provided for the taxation of franchises or that the value of franchises cannot be ac- curateiy ascertained. ‘The scheme is transparent. It is wholly in the interest of the franchise tax-dodgers and opposed to the interests of other taxpayers. It is a trick to perpetuate by legal juggling the gross injustice of the present assessment. It is impossible for the scheme to succeed without aid from within the State Board of Equalization. One member of the Board must reverse his action for the benefit of the franchise tax-dodgers. The name of a member of the Board has been persistently mentioned as the ally of the corporation attor- neys who is expected to betray the people.

The latest aensational testimony before the Industrial Com- mission is that of Mr. D. P. Dowe, President of the Commer- cial Travelers’ League. According to Mr. Dowe’s estimate the great tobacco combines have thrown 3000 salesmen out of employment; the Baking Powder Trust has discharged all but half a dozen men. Two instances cited are those of a salesman who had received a salary of $5000 = year and another $4500. The trade worked up by those men is served by an agent paid $8 a week. The Bicycle Trust will throw out 600 salesmen and cut down agencies in every city. Hundreds lose their jobs through the cembination of the Rubber, Tin Plate, Steel Rod and Paper Bag interests. Altogether thousands of traveling salesmen have fe)t the edge of the ax and many more are looking for the earme fate on July 1, when contracts usually expire. The outlook is not agreeable. These are the keenest, most ca- pable of business men. Their natural acumen, shrewd knowl- edge of human nature and native, ability as traders have made them a marked class in the world of commerce. They have contributed not a little to the wonderful development of the country. But they have “had their day.”” They will help to swell the great army of unemployed which grows larger as the combinatiuns are perfected. They should use their gift of speech—it Is said traveling salesmen are great talkers—explaining the secret of monopoly. No other class can wield more influence and mold public opin- ion to better purpose than the drummers. The opportunity of leisure should not be neglected. > -_ — Se Gen.

To make a garment of this sort requires about three and a quarter & its simplest and severest form, the yards of goods, thirty inches wide. This makes 'the waist cost about 41 cents. The popular shirt waist materials are SHIRT WAIST.

There are many ways to give the shfrt waist a dressy appearance. It may. tucked, corded, run with insertions, ru@fled with lace or trimmed with ribbons and vwel- vet. It may boast fancy collars and gir- dles to match. It may make immense pretensions, yet still be only a shirt waist, The small belongings are simply innum- erable. There are, first of all, many dif- ferent styles in links and studs. The very latest of these consists of small, roughly- cut stones, turquoises, garnets, emeralds, topazes and the like, set in link buttons for the cuffs, and in three tiny pins for the waist fastenings. It Is no longer fashion- able to button the front of your shirt waist. The pins are the accepted thing. Sometimes there ie a belt pin to match. Then there are small hair brooches to match the belt pins, and another for the skirt-fastening. Taking it all in all the summer girl of '99 is a very much be- pinned object.

LOUIS PEN- CILER HAS FORMED ONE SO FAR IT HAS LOST MONEY. In Spite of the Evident Advantages of the Combination the Profit So Far Has Been to the Public. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 19.—The Bookmakers’ Trust is the newest thing in combines. Its avowed purpose is to give speculating racegoers better odds than the general ring could give, and its real motive is to make more money for the men in the com- dination than they could make as independ- ent bookmakers. Joe Ullman, Max Blumenthal, John George Eckart are O'Neill and Frank and the chief backers of the combine. each put- ting up, from $10,000 to $15,000, thus giving the book a capital of $60,000 to $70,000. In figurin, out his plan of campaign for this year Ullman depended on the fact tHat the ave e bookmaker’ does business on a capital of , Or even less. With that they can handle only $2000 or $3000 in bets in a day. Their books, too, must be conser- Vative, the Genera Plan being to “round up” if possible, and to hold from 5 to 8 per sone of the public’s money, whichever horse Ulimvan and his partnere believer they can afford to make a book in which cha will retain on the average only 1 per cent, be- cause 1 per cent of the larger amount they wovld handle by giving bigger odde than other men in the ring would be more than the combined 7 or 8 per cent of the smaller amounts each partner might handle inde- pendently. It costs each bookmaker from $75 to $125 @ day, according to the size of the book's business and staff, to do business at the track. Figuring on the greater cost, five men would have to pay a day to make in- dependent books. By combining and mak- ing only one book the expense would be only $126 a clear saving of $500 ta day, nearly all of which otherwise would have been paid to the race tracks for the privilege of potting. These facts, which are the talk of the habitual race followers, and the thousands of people who take interest in the sport, are making the independent bookmakers grum- ble. hey say they will soon have to go out of business, and if they do racing will nt a loss of revenue and be greatly in- ured. The racing associations are feeling the loss of $500 a day, and would welcome any- thing which would check Uliman and his partners. In spite of the evident advantages of the.-r combination, Ullman and his partners have had a bad run of luck, and are said to have lost $100,000. The profit so far has been to the public. Tod Sloan's big brother, Cash, under sus- pension by the California racing officials for a ride upon Abuse last winter, is mak- ing strong efforts to secure reinstatement. Since being debarred from riding Cash has been selling rubber ‘eels. Bookmakers at Hawthorne are compliin: ing of losses. They say that they have been hit hard by the pubiic. and that their expenses for “cutting in'’ are too great. Under the arrangemcnt the bookmakers ay the purses, cividing the total pro rata, his, with the cost of help snd supplies, makes ths expenses of «ach $200 a day.

After a long stay away from home the St. Louls Club made its reappearance at League Park Sunday afternoon in the pres- ence of 8000 persons. For the first time in many days the team appeared in its full etrength and it played a strong game against the Washingtons, winning out by the one-side score of 8 to 3. The same teams play again on Monday aSeeeeeen, with a single change of bat- teries. Burns, the umpire who caused a heap of trouble at Sportsman's Park a few days ago, nearly caused a riot in New York last Friday, by declaring the New York-Brook- lyn game forfeited to Brooklyn by 9§ to 0. The troubie commenced early in the game, at that stage when “Si’’ Leyman pete a straight one to Casey, about reast high, and cutting the plate in haijf, Burns called it a “bail.”” Seymour threw up his hands, did a song and dance and made other motions to show his contempt for the decision. Warner did everything but stand on his head, and every other Glant emitted a yell of derision. The crowd, too, took the cue and jeered and hooted in derision. Burns promptiy removed Warner from the game, as was his right. There being not over many Giants in fit condition to play, Capt. Gleason was put at his wit’s ends to fill out his team. e finally decided on Wilson to catch and Foster to play shortstop. Then the game proceeded. On the first ball pitched after the change Wilson etepped away from the plate. The ball went to the ve Burns took it that Wilson got from behind the plate pur- osely to have the ball hit him (Burns). e immediately threw off his mask and shouted to Wilson: “You're out of the game, too.” Then there was more trouble for Capt. Gleason. He came in to the players’ bench to size up his derelicte, but before he could decide on the man he would put behind the bat Burns suddenly turned around to the stand and shouted: “I declare the game for- feited to Brooklyn—98 to 0!" He then made a rush for his dressing room under the grand stand. The spectators were fairly dazed at the suddenness of the decision. They looked at the players in wonder for an instant, and it wae eome minutes before they fully grasped the situation. Then from the open seats and stands a wild rush was made for the place where the umpire had hidden himself. Policemen were on hand, however, and turned the mob back! A rush was then made for the ticket offices, where a most energetic demand was made for a re- turn of the admission fee. The mob abso- lutely refused to leave the grounds, and but for the energetic efforts of Capt. Kirschner and his policemen serious trouble would have occurred. The management uieted the crewd by giving out return checks, good for any game in the future. Burns was escorted to the L station by a my of 2% policemen, followed by a howling mob thirsting for his cuticle and gore. The Brooklyn officials were much disap- pointed at the turbulent outcome of the game, though they had little to say about the matter. Manager Hanlon egaid that the enalty for forfeiting a game was a fine of F000, which went to the other club, and a $200 fine that went to the League. At this rate the Brooklyn club will fare better financially than if they had divided the gate rece pia. These are the batting and flelding ave- rages of the pee of the St. Louls Club, the figures showing the work done in all ome ee up to and including those of u ; neo BATTING AVERAGES. | G. |AB.| R.

Dougal, ee 4 Waiter : |ehange of THE ENGLISH. BOXER, >_> CHARLEY MITCHELL HAS CHAL- LENGED JIM JEFFRIES. ores LATTER IS OF COURSE WILLING. Fitzsimmons Is Also Thinking About Asking the Californian for An- other Chance. Charley Mitchell, the English boxer, has challenged Jim Jeffries. Mitchell wants to meet Jeffries in London in August. A prize fight is never fought in this coun- try but that Mitchell bobs up afterwards and challenges the winner. Long before his fight with Jim Corbett, which took place at Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 25, 1894, Mitchell has been a back number so far as the heavyweight championship is concerned. Still this does not prevent his obtaining notoriety by bobbing up after every big fight and challenging the winner of it. effries is, of course, willing to accommo- date Mitchell and hag sent com word that he will meet him on the other side in August. By that time Mitchell will have changed his mind and there will be no fight, but the Englishman, all the same, will have gotten all the advertising out of the match he cares for. The —_ condition that Jeffries said he would make in the articles is that an Amer- ican shall referee the contest. The National Sporting Club of London will make a bid for the fight. The cham- pion expects to sail'for England July 27. This week Jeffries has been down Easf. He {s giving boxing exhibitions in several! of the large cities. Last cight he was at the Casino Roof Garden. rom there he will come West, appearing in the larger Western cities. In these he will umpire baseball games and at the conclpsion of each game/show just how he knocked out Fitzsimmons. His big brother, Jack, will play the part filled by the Cornishman in the recent contest at New York. Jeffries promises to develop into as great a incney-spender as John L. Sullivan. A New York exchange says: “Coming from the land of sunshine and the golden gate, and where money at one time flowed as free as water, Jeffries is imbued with liberality in every fiber. One has only to look into his honest yo countemance to see tnat. He is young and of wonderfully happy disposition. Gloom has no place in his make-up. Jeffries may be said to be liberal to a degree. This is how he shows it: Before taking the trolley for Corey Island yesterday he went into Johnny Ryan’s damp goods emporium with a trio of friends. He ordered a round of liquids which called for loss than $1 outlay. Jeff deposited a ten spot on the deck. and the bar Keeper rang the register for change. ‘Don’t mind,’ opined the new champion, like good old John L.; ‘heep the charge.’ Then he happened to go into another place, where a crowd of sports were anxious to give him the glad hand. Jim lined up every- body at the counter and tossed out a big bill to cover the damages. It is but the gccd-hearted doings of a youngster who is on ‘the top rung of success, and who thinks little of money and naught of the future.’’ Fitzsimmons is considering the advisa- bility of challenging Jeffries again. The old champion realizes that he did not. train properly for his last mill and he appears to believe that in proper condition he could get away with the Californian if given one more chance. Jeffries, however, is not likely to give Bob another chance until he has gotten through with Mitchell, Sharkey and a few others whom he considers at this time soft marks. . SENSATION IN ENGLAND. That Is What Sloan’s Assault on a Waiter Has Caused. LONDON, June 19.—The afternoon news- papers to-day are insisting that Tod Sloan, the American jockey, in spite of his de- nials, is the man who aésaulted a waiter at Ascot on Thursday. The Evening News is indignant at the fact that the Jockey Club has apparently decided to let the matter drop and is stir- ring up public feeling against him. The nglish jockeys, by their behav- lor and general bearing, have succeeded during the last 20 years in totally altering thelr social statue, and it is hard lines on them that a foreigner should come to Eng- land and bring disgrace on the profession Without any official] notice being taken of it. The next time Sloan appears on a race course he will learn what the public thinks of him, The fact that he denies what 50 peopte witnessed ma display American ravado. but in no other way will it bet- ter his position.” The Star publishes eeveral abusive letters calling Sloan “An American Stable Boy” and “A Liliputian Yankee.’’ The same pa- per asserts that after careful investiga- tion “it was shown that it was Sloan and no one else who struck the walter with a champagne boitie, mr tas | opening his lip, so that a large portion of it hung over his mouth.,”’ The waiter is stil] under the care of a doctor. Blue Ribbons Play Ball. The George Fehl Blue Ribben yard team defeated the home team by a score of 7 to 4. The yard team players ate T. Perout- ka p, T. Kutis c, J. Zitek Ib, L.

McDowell, the Chicago oarsman, for the dlamond sculls, at the Henly regatta this year, was received too late to be ac- cepted. The Kirkwoods Won. The Kirkwood Browns defeated the St. Louis Maroons in a one-sided gainc. The terrific batting of the Kirkwoods carried them through, they having no troubdle in finding the aroons’ pitchas. The Mound City Paint and Color Co. will meet the Browns at Kirkwood next Sunday. A Tie at Quincy. The Sperting Newe team played a tie ame—6 to 6—with the Quincys at Quincy, ll., Sunday. Only elght Innings were played. the Sports having to quit at the end of the eighth to catch their train for home. The Perfect Gas Range is the best. The terme—$2.00 cash and $1.0 a month—are tho easiest, and the Backus Bullding, 1011 Olive aizeet, is the place to get Good Gas Goods. THE IRISH ATHLETES, THEY WILL HAVE ALL SORTS OF FUN AT THE FAIR GROUNDS. NEXT SUNDAY IS THE DAY. The Ancient Order of Hibernians Will Then Hold Their Annual Picnic and Games. ¢ President P. R. Fitzgibbon and Chairman P. W. Byrne of the Sports Committee are pleased beyond expression with the aus- picious outlook for a successful celebration of the big annual picnic and athletic festival of the Ancient Order of Hibernaians, which is scheduled to be held at the Fair Grounds next Sunday. Success is. the index of merit, and the monster list of entries received from in- tending participants in the amphitheater games is ample warranty for the assertion that next Sunday’s anniversary of tne field-day of the senior Irish society wii be the greatest of its kind in the history of the organization. The number of amateur athletes who will cempete in the Fair Grounds arena Sunday will exceed 200, and this gallant array of acknowledged record breakers will be sup- plemented by a small regiment of ball poarers, who will contend in the bigges- aseball tournament ever attempted in this city. Nearty 50 clubs will be represented, and it is a safe, proposition that the army of “rooters’’ who will be on hand to cheer their respective teams to victory will be greater than were Uncle Sam's land forces prior to the unpleasantness with Spain. Among thd baseball organizations which have entered nines in the big souruay are Emmett Stars, Shamrocks, ills, , A. B. C., Jrs., St. Bridgets, Dilis, Lawrence O’Tooles, St. Maia- *s, 8t Patrick’s, Unions, Elks, Olympijco, O’Briens, Briffins, Brian Borus and Thomas Street Sluggers. The entries for the Amateur Athletic Union end of the outdoor carnival include every athiete of any reputation in St. Louis. In the 100 yard handicap, for which there 2% entries, such well-wnown sprinters as N. O. Hermann, Julius Enslin, Roy Norton, Emil Freymark, Tom O’ Rourke, Bernhard Dick and W. J. Wolfe will face the starter. The 22-yard handicap has 2% nominations. Conspicuous among these are the sprinters named in the 100-yard and Bert Elder, Wil- liam Beck and George Pleitch. Of the #0 men eligible to start in the 440-yard event James Fieming, Fred Meyer, W. W. Arpe, G. R. Steele and Frank James’ son Bob are all quarter-milers of renown, The half-mile contest closed with 2 entries, and in addition to Arpe and Fleming, Felix Guignon, Anthony Reynolds, F. W. Hitch- ings and Emil Hitchcock will battle for championship honors. The high-jumping division is well repre- sented by 18 entries, chief among whom are Emil Freymark, J. H. Finnegan, J. E. Dwan and Fred Koenig. The 16-pound shot competition has attracted 16 entries, and in the 56-pound weight contest nine men will come together. Dan Leahy, Frank Bokern, Fred Wagner and F. C. Warmbold have entered for both classes, and amon other 56-pounders will be William Schild- mann and William Bellison. John C. Meyers, Joseph M. O'Reilly and Fred Wagner are among the nine pole vaulters, and in the hop, step and jump % are entered, of whom.John King, John J. Foley and Paul Wétidt-are well-known adepts at the game. The specialties will include contrary and rotate races, prize dancing, hurdling, horse, mule and pony racing and the climb- ing of the elusive greased pole. The nvrizes will range from diamond and goid medals down to articles of jewelry and bric-a-brac. The picnic will be one of the real old- fashioned Celtic kind, and Charles H. Van- dewater, the official handicapper of: the Amateur Athletic Union, is authority for the statement that the list of entries in the arena games is the best he has ever had to pass upon. eo THE SOUTHWESTERN REGATA.

The property is on the south side of the avenue, @® feet west of Sixth street, and is known as Nos. 606 and 608 Washington aVe- nue. It fronts 63 feet 114g inches on the thoroughfare hamed, and hag a depth of 161 feet 1% inches, to St. Charles street. There is a four-story stone-front building upon it in good condition, but not of suf- ficient value to cut much of a figure in the price. The building was formerly occupied by the John L. Boland Book and Stationery Co. In making the purchase Mr. ee the ground as worth $4000 a front v The deed will be made out with the St. Louls Truet Co. as grantee. but the pur- chaser is really Mr. Huse.

Well-Known Artist Passed Away in the Night. David Gibson, the artist, died early Sun- day morning, at his rooms, 2606 Olive street. The cause of death was gastro-enteritis. He was alone when death came, and the dis- covery was not made until his landlord, J. paws. entered to inquire how he felt. . E. Wentworth, a friend, was notified. He told a number of Elks of the death, and they have arranged with Undertakers Harrigan & Sheahan for the funeral. The obsequies will take place Tuesday from the undertaking establishment to the Elks’ Rest, Bellefontaine Cemetery. Mr. Gibson was born in Belfast, Ireland, 39 years ago. He was a successful lith- ogra hing artist in Belfast and London. At he came to America. After his com- ing to this country he was employed by a number of newspapers and engraving houses. In 1889 Mr. Gibson married Miss Julia Ryan of Chicago. The marriage was not happy, and he obtained a divorce two years later. Mr. Gibson was a raconteur of wide reputation and a thorough Bohemian. VENICE STATION ROBBED. Thieves Secured Many Excursion Tic- kets From the the Wabash. Burglars entered the Wabash Station at Venice about 3 o’clock Sunday morning, by breaking a window pane and unfastening the catch. The stolen property consisted of a bicycle, belonging to Agent G. A. Hank- inson; a case of eggs, gprs. to J. A. Brammells, and about 66 excursion tickets to Mitchell and return. Several boxes of other goods had been piled up on the plat- form for removal, and it is supposed they were frightened away before the goods were taken. It is the supposition of the authorities that a gang of railway thieves are system- atically robbing the stations along the American Bottom. Saturday morning R. E. Boswell, agent of the Merchants’ Bridge Terminal ilway, lost several articles from a train by thieves breaking in that station. They also attempted to break into Sawyer's meat market on Second and Granville, Venice, early Sunday morning. BRIDE’S FATHER PROTESTED. Why Heinrich Glasser and Clara Schuchartt Were Denied a License. Heinrich Glasser of 3441 South Thirteenth street and Miss Clara H. Schuchartt of 3322 Salina street applied Monday for a mar- riage license which they didn't get. Miss Schuchartt was willing to subscribe to all the neceseary oaths and declared she was over 18 years old. But her father had visited the office earlier in the day and as- sured Clerk Leonhardt that she was not so old by several weeks. He also said he Wus bitterly opposed to the marriage, because young Glasser had sought to elope with his daughter and had not asked him for her hand. Otherwise, he said, he had no objec- tion to the marriage. Miss Schuchartt's mother accompanied her and begged 4 clerk to issue the li- cense, saying she coneented to the mar- riage. But she was assured that the fath- er’'s wish must prevail. The couple then left for Clayton. — — ——— A SUCCESSOR TO DICK BLAND. _Ex-Senator Hazell and Senator Hohen- schild Are in the Field.

She was a member of MRS. JOHN ZACH, the Democratio Socialist Society, the South St. Louis Singing Society and the Free Thinkers. The funeral, which will take place Tues- day, will be conducted by the latter or- ganization.

Max Hoehn, a prominent member of the (Social Democrats, will also deliver an ad. dress. Although a member of these Socialist or- ganizations, Mrs. Zach had never given them any marked support, being a woman of a retiring dispos-tion.

It is entitled “The Elk and the Blephant."’ There is a brief pre- face. reading—‘This is the story of * **@e Casting a light, tn a reflected sort of way, on some of the elephantastic experlences of some of the antiered crew.” But the preface is misleading. The book is a collection of short stories. and each narrative ende with—‘‘but the story he had tokd about real people in real life." The author of the woes is a wife ow agree : 3 : : | : SUMMER OPERA AND OTHER SHOWS. — The Spemcer Opera Company began its season at Uhrig’s Cave Sunday night un- der decidedly auspicious conditions. ‘There Was a large audience in an amiable frame of mind and the singers had been carefully rehearsed. The offering was ‘““‘The Daugh- ter of the Regiment,” a three-act light op- era by G. Donizetti and Oscar Weil, which had not been su in St. Louis for several years, and never ore in a summer thea- ter. There are several pretty melodies in the opera and a dashing march and chorus. The libretto is not the mest brilliant thing ever written, but it serves. The work of the co any es a whole was satiefactory. Miss Maud Lillian Berri, the prima-donna, sur- rised those who saw her with the Francis Vilson Company in “The Little Corporal,” and formed an opinion of her from what she did in that opera. She is vastly better than she seemed ‘to be when in the Wilson com ~ 6 She bas a sweet voice and uses it skillfully In person one might her too tall to successfully appear as a lit- year-old girl of heydenish proclivities, but she does i effectively and naturally. ler figure is graceful and her face is singu- larly charming. She has big eyes, light brown in hue, and her nose is barely straight. It 18 not a perfect face, which, perhaps, accounts in some measure for iis charm, If Miss Berri does not become a cherished favorite in S*. Louls the writer is greatly mistaken. Charlies Hawley, the baritone, has a fine stage presence and a mellow voice of good range. William Ste- phens, the leading tenor, sang in ‘““The Bo- hemian Girl’ at the Cave last season. He was cordially received last night, but his part ‘*The Davghter of the Regiment’’ does not suit him as well as that of Thaddeus. Gertrude Lodge hes a part that fits her like a glove. She brought out the comedy of it with ex- cellent taste. William Steiger, the come- dian, was only moderately funny. The male division of the chorus is stronger than the female, but the girls are good to look at. Taken all and all, Mr. Spencer is giving a good show. There is a boy singer at the Suburban this week who is well worth hearing. He is billed as Master Clarice and he doesn’t appear to be more than 12 years old. e appears in the minstrel first part and sings a ballad. Most ballad singers in minstre! shows are a weariness to the spirit, but that goes straight to the heart. Carroll Johnson has another striking ‘“‘coon’’ cos- tume and some new songs. He also does an Irish specialty in white face that i¢ very clever. Fred Warren warbles in his uaual jolly way, and Tom Lewis, Lew Sul- ly and the others contribute to the gayety of the audience. After «ach performance Prof. Barnes’ trained elk, Ringlet, dives from a platform 2% feet high into a pool of water. Col. Jim Butler's mite toward making the week a ‘“‘purple’ one for the visiting Elks is an entertainment at his theater ty the Sporty Widow's Burlesque Co. There is no suggestion of widows or widow's weeds in the show, but there are plenty of pretty women and risque dancing and one forgets that the bill calls for widows. . The Sisters Howard, contortion dancers, who kicked themselves into popularity last winter, were warmly received Sunday and did some new ‘“‘stunts.”’ Farrell and Starck, bicyclists, did a pleasing turn at trick rid- ing. Conroy and McCoy, Irish comedians, and Kherns and Cole. German dittoes, told a lot of es and did some new things. The Empire Comedy Four, heard and ap- plauded in various local tneaters and sum- mer gardens, were kept on the stage for half an hour. Karina, heralded as a Pa- risian sensation, opened the eyes of many out of town visitors by her dancing. The scene from ‘“‘Laicrece” is the same as was seen during the regular season. “A Hot Time,”’ th singing by the full company and mu@cle dancing by “Egypt and “Rusa,"” closes the performance. It was announced from the stage that Champion James Jeffries would box six rounda with Jim Daly at the Standard Theater next Sunday night. Vaudeville is the attraction at Koerner’s Garden this week. An all-star bill has been provided for the patrons of Forest Park Highlands during the Elks’ carnival week.
