Fiames broke out in the third stcry. Those in the lower stories escaped, but the em- ployes on the floors above were cut off and crowded to the windows, many preparing to jump. The fire escapes were over- crowded, but the police kept the hundreds who came down this way from panic. The ladders were quickly run up to the fourth story and firemen kept. the frenzied em- ployes in order. Three hundred clambered down through the smoke without accident. Loss $130,000; insurance $125,000. A few minutes’ after the building was cleared a terrific explosion took place, but the thick walls withstood the shock.

The lady was knocked down and her shoulders bruised by the heavy fists of the highwaymen. As she fell one negro grabbed her purse and the other snatched the small bundle she was carrying. The neighborhood is one of the best in town, and the bright sunlight kept Mrs. Farnsworth’s mind from thoughts of an assault. fhe left her home 15 minutes be- fore and was on her way td@call on a friend at 27% Chestnut street. She passed down Leffingwell avenue and had turned east on Chestnut street when she was seized from behind. The corner was unoccupied when Farnsworth turned and she beiieves the men were conceaied in the doorway. Be- fore she could turn to see whose hand was on her arm she was struck sharply in the back, once on each side, with sufficient force to knock her forward. No policeman was in sight and no answer came to her screams for help. The negroes were fleeing with pocketbook and package when a wheelmn turned from Leffingwell avenue. eH assistd Mrs..Farnesworth to her feet, then pursued the robers. The young man was fleet of foot as he was stout of courage and was overhauling the man with the pursé@é, when the robber dropped it. The bicyclist picked it up, ex- amined it, and seeing money in it hurricd back to Mrs. Farnsworth, permitting that thief to escape. The man with the package had run in the opposite direction and was still in sight. The stranger went after him and cornered him in an alley. The fellow dropped the bundle, dodged behind coal wagon, went over a fence and got way Mrs. Farnsworth hurried to Olive street looking for a policeman, while several mes- sengers were speeding through the cross streets on the ’Same errand. The druggist told the woman he had not seen a blue coat that day. Persons living in the neigh- borhood said an officer had not been that way for a month. Mrs. Farnsworth was in the neighborhood an hour, but no policeman was found. She is the wife of George E. Farnsworth of M. R. Udell & Co., woodenware dealers, and has just recovered from a long seige of nervous prostration. The assault Thurs- day morning wholly unnerved her and she had to be taken home. The bicyclist who recovered the property disappeared without revealing his name. MORE YELLOW FEVER IN HAVANA Two Cases Discovered, One of the Un- fortunates Being a Citizen of the United States. HAVANA, July 6.—Two cases of yellow fever have been reported to-day. One of the patients is an old Spanish woman who has been in Cuba for two years and her disease is in mild form. The other case is that of an American, whose symptoms are still doubtful, although it is believed Dy Surgeon-Major Davis and other officers to be yellow fever. Both cases were discovered in a part of the city little frequented by Americans. Every effort will be made to prevent an increase of the disease. Gen. Ludlow is satisfied that it is im- possible as yet to keep yellow fever out of Havana, and especially such districts as that at the southern end of Officios street. The health of the troops is remarkably good and makes a beter showing than at many posts in the United States.

WASHINGTON, July 6.—I. M. Bond of New Mexico is authority for the statement that Roosevelt’s Rough Riders will re- enlist for service in the Philippines, with a bare possibility of their old Colonel, the present Governor of New York, accom- panying them to Manila as a Briggdier- General. : : “Every member of the reg!ment who at- tended the recent reunion at Las Vegas,” says Mr. Bond, “‘signd an agreement.to go to the Philippines if the opportunity pre- sented itself. Col. Roosevelt has, I under- stand, received assurances from the Pres- ident that an entire brigade, organized along the lines of the Rough Riders’ regi- ment, will be accepted to do duty in our new possessions."’ Gen, Corbin says he has heard nothing of such a plan.

Dreyfus Shows Signs of Great Agitation After Talking With Her Husband. PARIS, July 6.—It is regarded as probable that Gen. Faure Biguet will be appointed Military Governor of Paris and that Gen. Zurlinden, the present incumbent of that post will be transferred to the command of an army corps. At the cabinet council to-day Gen. De Gallifet, Minister of War, announced the 4ar- rangements for the military review on July 14, which will take place as usual. Mme. Dreyfus ha an hour's interview with her husband at Rennes yesterday. On leaving she showed for the firs: time signs of distress. Her eyes were swolien and red, as though she had been weeping bitterly. She is still in deep mourning, and is determined to remain so until her hus- band regains his liberty. A somewhat lJar- ger crowd than usual watched her arrival and departure, and again displayed utter lack of manners and consideration for her terrible position, gathering around her, rudely staring her in the face, and pressing one another aside in their eagerness not to lose a single detall of her agony. Gen. Mercier will endeavor to prove Dreyfus guilty because he mixed up in Russian affairs before the alliance was dis- eussed. The Minister of War of Russia asked France for a table of her mijdlary defense work. It was confided to Dreyfus, who was told to make out a table of cer- tain effectives not then existing, but which would be ready before the alliance treaty would be Signed. Capt. Dreyfus refusea to do that. Soon after he met the Rus- sian military attache at Paris, who con- gratulated him on the work, e said he would like to know why Dreyfus did not arrange the table as ordered. Dreyfus re- plied curtly: “I dislike falsifying facts.” The Czar then asked explanations,| and the alliance was nearly frustrated. (Gen. Mercier, the then Minister of War,| will claim Dreyfus’ indiscretions were purposely made to prevent the Russian alliance. HIS PROSECUTORS WERE KIND.

HEAVY SENTENCE, Manuel Bailey Gets Twenty-five Years for Assaulting and Robbing David Schlessinger. Manuel Balley, a negro, was convicted of highway robbery Thursday morning by 4 jury in Judge Talty’s court and given one of the heaviest sentences ever imposed in this city for the offense—% years in the Penitentiary. Bailey assaulted aged David Schlessinger, a& newspaper carrier, on the night of Marah ll of this year, as he was passing the cor- ner of Tenth and Carr streets. e negTo sprang upon his victim and felled him to Eee oane with a baseball bat, fracturing 8 sku While Schiessinger lay unconscious on the ground, Bailey went through his pock- ets, securing a watah and chain and about $10 in money. For a long time the life of the old man—he was almost 6&—was de- spaired of, and the trial was delayed until he recovered. The assessed puaseoment is considered equal to life imprisonment, penologists hav- ing determined that the average length of life in a gaol is but 12 years. The verdict is all the more severe, as it would have been possible for the defend- ant’s attorneys to have pleaded guilty on Wednesday and taken ten years. This they did not elect to do, to their present regret. AGAIN SUING MRS. SUNKEN. Fred Brinkman Claims She Holds His Money and Property.

PLATONIC LOVE CAUSES MURDER Carpenter Shoots a Real Estate Dealer for Presumed Attention to the Object of Hi Affection, OHANDLER, Ok., July 6—R. McCoskey, who yesterday shot and killed John M. Kimel, a married man, for presumed at- tentions to Miss Egbert, has been spirited away from town by the authorities who feared an effort to lynch the prisoner. Mc- Coskey is 60 years old. His victim was BW. Miss Egbert is 15. This peculiar infatuation of MoCoskey for the girl had led to a number of un- usual incidents prior to the killing. When Kimel was slain he was walking by the side of M'‘ss Dgbert. Kimel’s wife and child and four others were in the party. McOoskey passed the group, wheeled and began oes * with a revolver. The first ball entered imel’s back and pierced the heart. The second shot went Ww The murderer coolly proceeded down the street and entered a store. “TI killed my man,” he sald there, “but 1 want one more. ‘Miss Hgbert is the daughter of the pro- prietress of Chandler's principal hotel. She is attractive. Kimel was prominent in business and social affairs. He had beén quite successful in the real estate business. MoccCoskey is a carpenter by trade. Before wry | taken from town McCos- key said that he expected to hang. But he did not regret the tragedy. He felt that he was forced to kill Kimel in order to shield Miss Egbert. Others, he sa'd, had tried to encompass the girl's fall. Kimel's evil influence, McCoskey said. prevailed not only over the girl, but ex- tended also to her brother, who made no effort to save his sister. “T have been assaulted in my own room,” the prisoner asserted, ‘by Kimel and others who intended to wrong her. But whenever I was worst pressed, I looked to her for consolation, because she is always with me spiritually, though, of course, I can't always hear her voice.” He declared that his affection for Miss Egbert was purely platonic.

GOLF AT ONWENTSIA FAVORED ' BY THE WEATHER. ’ ONLY ONE WESTERNER LEFT. C. B. M’Donald of Chicago Is Alone Holding Up the Honor of a Large Territory. ONWENTSIA GOLF CLUB COURSE, LAKEF OREST, Ill., July 6.—Golfing on the fourth dav of the amateur tournament at Onwentsia was under more favorable con- ditions than have prevailed since the start on Monday. The warm sun and strong south wind of yesterday put the course in excellent condition for perfect golf, with the exception of the long stretches on the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth holes, where water in the sand pits and soggy greens resulted in disaster to more than one of the contestants. Before the after- noon Diay was fairly under way, however the grounds were almost completely dry an the crowds who followed the contestants saw some brilliant golf. Indications now point to a grand finish in the tournament and the play of to-morrow, when the semi-finals take place, and Sat- urday, when the fina! game will be played to decide who will wear the amteur chm- pDionship honors for the forthcoming year, is xvected to attract imense crowds, Long before the time for the first pair of contesiants to start out over their first 18 holes to-day, trains, carriages and busses brought in loads of gaily attired men and women, and by noon the largest crowd of the tournament had gathered. Interest to-day centered chiefly in the game between (- % Tporp of the Oakley Country Club and C. B. MacDonald, Chi- cago Golf Club, the only Westerner left to contest for championship honors, and the game between Champion ‘Findlay 8. Doug- lass and young Gardiner G. Hubbard, who won the Newport tournament two years ago. Both of the games were followed by by large crowds, The beautiful goif played yesterday by H. M.- Hardiman attracted - af experts to his game to-day with H. P. Toler of the Baltrusol Golf jub, while the play of John Reid, Jr., of St. Andrew’s, the inter-co.legiate champion, and W. G. Travis of the Oakland Golf Club, was close- Y,plowed. e programme to-day was as follows: John Reid, Jr. vs. W. J. Travis. Findlay S. Doug.ass vs. G. G. Hubbard. J. G. Thorp vs. C. B. MacDonald. H. M. Harriman vs. H. P. Toler. Douglass was off in his form in the first nine holes with Hubbard. Hubbard’s opening drive went 30 feet far- ther than Douglass’, but Douglass ap- proached beautifully and holed in five. Hubbard’s drive for the second landed him within two yards of the hole and he Both went into the sandpit on approach- Ing the third hole, but Douglass’ ball bounded out and Hubbard, taking four, lifted out nicely and on this fifth landed within two feet of the hole and thalved it.

Hubbard won the fifth in four, his ap- proach landing aim dead on ithe green, Douglass won the sixth and sevenin in four. Douglass topped the ball on his approach to the eighth and ‘Hubbard, lofting beauti- fully, landed dead on the green. Daaninne }ofted out nicely but Hubbard made a preity put and hole: it in four. Douglass sliced badly on his drive fur the ninth. The ball went away to the rignt and was lost, hole going to Hubbard. Result first nine holes: Hubbard one up. SAGE REALLY WAS IN DANGER J. Smith Says His Letter of Warning Was Sent Because ai Friend Threatened to Kill the Magnate. NEW YORK, July 6.—Artemus J. Smith, Secretary of the Associated Colonies, whose letter of warning after lying at the nome of Russell Sage unopened for two days, put the magnate in terror of aségassinaticn, makes this explanation of his reason for writing the alarming epistle: “I think Mr. Sage has acted very un- gratefully when I took all the trouble I did to save him any annoyance. The s!tuation is this: 1 havea friend, a iawyer, who has threatened to take Mr. Sage’s life. He has been in financial straits, and has become desperate. He has grown to feel that the existing social order is ail wrong. He holds the millionaires resvonsible. He was to have been evicted from his officé vesterday. You can imagine the effect of such a step on a brilliant man—to have his books and papers plied in the street. He came into my office Saturday, and said: ‘‘Well, if I am put out of the office I will just take it asa sign from God that I am to make an exam. ple of some of the millionaires." Smith said that he then wrote the note of warning to Mrs. Sage, as he did not want to frighten Mr. Sage. Smith confessed that he thought Mr. Sage would help his “‘bril-, liant’’ friend. He says he was going to re- | port the case to the police, and also confer | with his unfortunate friend’s wife. | “In conclusion,’ said Mr. Smith, “I de- sire to say that my purpose was to save my friend, while at the same time protecting Mr. Sage from harm and saving both from publicity.” The capitalization of the Associated Colo- | nies is given as $590,000, It is reported that Mr. Sage wil] ask for a summons for Smith.

Loss of Memory and Education at Firs: | | Due to an Accident, His Second Self Lost in a Cataleptic Trance. fEW YORK, July 6.—About two years | Hanna, a young | ago the Rev. Thomas C. minister, now residing in Plantville, Conn. was thrown from his carriage and strucx the ground head foremoet with such force that he was cendered unconscious. days he remained in this estate, defying the efforts of physicians. When he finally came to it. was discovered that he was an en- tirely new personality. In fact, he was no defined identity at all, being like a new born babe, with no memory whatsoever of his past life, no recollection of the scenes and persone about him. Although he was before the accident a learned man, he scemed to have reverted to first principles and gone back to infancy in this his 25th year of existerce. Although bodily vigorous, Mr. Hanna seemed to have lost al] power of controlling mental processes, but goon developed a childish awakening. He expreséed vague fear and pleasure after the manner of a babe, and little by little grew accustomed to the world about him, taking up the task of reconstructing his own identity with great vigor. He passed through all the child stages of development as a babe merges into maturity, except that the pro- “cess was much faster, one week in his mew life represent™mg a whole year. From building blocks and his A B C’s he passed on to primers and then to mathe- matics, learning the language from mono- 6Vilables to phrases. He also wrote with his left hand, the chirography being crude and boyish. After many weeks of strange existence Mr. Hanna came under the treatment of the Pathological institute of the State hospitals of New York, pre- sided over by Dr. Ira Van Giesen and es- pecially under the care of Dr. Boris Sidis, The first sign of the awakening to the Subconscious or normal state came in the form of vague visions during sleep or par- tial wakefulness. “T had a most peculiar dream,” he would preface his story, and then relate some in- cident or chain of events which, upon verification, would be found to be an actual happening agence: to the accident, and no dream at all. No pains or expense were spared to veri- fy the accuracy of these so-called visions, and the patience of the doctors in every de- tail was something akin to genius. The patient did not suffer bodily pain, but was often disturbed by the vividness of his visions, and his douSt whether they were indeed dreams at all often threw him into a fit of melamholy, “He learned with remarkable facility and the memory of his pecondary state was as tenacious as that of his former normal state. He thus de- veloped a new self within self, and the new state promised to be ag brilliant and Buccessful as the old. Mr. Hanna was taught to read, write and epeak correctly, and developed some artis- tic talent which he had never shown before. Suddenly and without warning the man went into a sort of cataleptic state, from which he awoke his old self again. His two identities were then as completely isolated one from the other as if a fathom- less gulf swept between them. When shown the work of his hand done that very dav in the previous state he had no recol- lection whatever of having seen it before. disclaiming all knowledge of the doings of the other self. He did not recognize the doctors who had worked over him for this long period, and could not seem to under- etand why he was under treatment. He remembered everything up to the time of the accident, recognized members of his family and conversed with them familiarly. He resumed his Greek and Hebrew studies and seemed to have recovered his normal faculties entirely. His people were Overjored at the change, but soon the cataleptic drowsiness came over him and, after a trance-like condition for some hours, he awoke into his former infantile state once more. Every sensation was tried on the clergy- man to discover its effects upon his mind, Electric cabs and the uncommon phenom- ena of our daily city life mystified and thrilled him. Food and drink gave him various sensations, pleasurable and other- wise, and such things as he had been pre- viously distasteful sensationge now exer- cised a weird fascination over him. Care- fully was the effect of these several sen- tions noted. Night and day the process 8 prolonged. Then again would «steal over the patient that cataleptic drowsiness from which he would awaken into his former personaiity, but never into the same state from which fie sank into sleep. By magic the child be- came the man, the brute became a strong moral and intellectual force. It was the case of Archibald Maimaison repeated. Herein interposed the greatest mystery fall. At this crisis of the treatment there eveloped a new power in the man, another and a third entity. ‘Mr. Hanna found that in his somnolent state, his trance hour, he had the ability of separating himself en- tirely from the two previous waking states, namely, the child and the man, the animaj and the intellectual—in other words, the Dr. Jékyll and the Mr. Hyde. He found that he could take the animal personally with much greater ease than the intellec- tual, but every time he fell back into the hyponotic state he tried to resolve never to recur to the beser entity again, but to choose the normal, the intellectual and the . Moral man into which to project his con- scious self. This marked the crisis of the treatment. and it augured well for certain cure. Mr Hanna would tell the doctors with a species of sublime triumph how in his cataleptic state he had thrown down the baser man after a struggle involving mental anguish, and took the better form. He could project himself into one or the other form of the Waking state, but not into both at one time. He seemed to be handling the destinies of two separate and distinct souls in one body. @ third soul alive only in this hypnotic State, as when a man dreams and knows that he dreams, yet cannot wake by force ef will. . This third personality in the distinguished patient received the more careful di velop- ment. Slowly it was built up and fortified So that it gained at last an absolute con- ‘trol over the other two states; and finally, with less strugg:e and mental strife. the third personality merged itself with the higher, better man, bringing the three per- Sonalities into perfect harmony and final Unity, the intellectual and the mora! again ately dominant. 8, then, was the triumph of science. Without the aid of Dr. Sidis aad hie faith- colleagues Mr. Hanna would never have loped the third personality at all. “ane remarkable notes made by the skillful titioners in their restoration of a lost ity will be published in a few weeks the Archives of th Petahologica] Insti- tute, the official document.

Organization Has Prospered Finan- cially, but at the Loss of Home, Friends and Family. eee BELTON, Tex., July 6.—For about 2%) years there has existed and been heid to- | gether a band of women in Belton, Bell County, Tex., known ag santificationists, organized and managed by Mrs, Martha MoQuirter. Mrs, McQuirter is an old resi- dent of Bell County and was for a nunrber years an intluential member of the Methodist Church, having a class in Sun- day-school. Here she began advancing ner thoughts and ideas, which proved to be out of harmony with the theology of her church. In course of time Mrs. McQuirter claimed to have had a revelation from heaven, directing her to separate from the church and the “world” and found an or- der, or band, of sanctified people. itis band must rank for age with the eariiest independent movement of the pres- ent day among women, not only religiously but financially, for besides being a body composed of religious’ enthusiasts and led and instructed in doctrine by a woman only, they have also been a stock company, sup- porting themselves by labor and accumu- lating a property now estimated at from a command td separate and completely withdraw the members of the ‘“band’”’ from of their own houschold. This brought about the rupture of nearly all married relations and most of the families of the band were entirely broken up. When the “‘sanctified’’ people became ao}- idly organized Mrs McQuirter received an- other :evelation, ramely, that they were/| to go into the world as servants and toil-| ers among the “unbelievers” and live their | lives and religion before and among the scoffers, keeping entirely unmixed socially uncommunicative and aloof. Mrs. McQuirt- er hired these worrer out as cooks, washer- women, servants in any respectable place and position. Her sincerity can hardly be doubted, for her own daughter was hired io a family where but a few months before she was always a welcome egvest. They hired out in the homes of the “un- regenerate’ and wathout mixing or affil- iating let their light shine in these dark places, doing all kinds of menial labor in families where they had all been equal socially. Some of the sanctified folks got cows, sold butter and milk and did out- door work on a farm they soon purchased near town, ‘Theo they established a laun- dry. These enterprises were financially suc- cessful, In all these employments they held no communication with outside men or women that could possibly be avoided Their conversation with the unconverted was literally the Bible standard of yea and nay. Modestly, silently, quietly, without a sin- gie suggestion in all these years of impru- dence or rebellion, they held to their be- lief and the work they had adopted. They dressed very plainly, with aprons and sun- bonnets. In common parlance they were called the sanctified people. Their work was well done. Their butter was , Their laundry work excellent. People, in a joking way, had begun at first calling their weshing “sanctified washing,” their cook- ing “sanctified cooking,” their butter “sanc- tified butier.’’ = _—_ Mrs. McQuirter taught the “band” from the Bible, of which she was quite a student, and a new revelation from heaven was al- ware on hand for any emergency. e fantaticism of peculiar doctrines and the separation of several families brought the sect into great disrepute and many threats were made against the leader. few men had joined and one of the foremost all unbelievers, no matter if the latter = | the matter assumed for a while some un- pleasant complications, but nothing daunted or dismayed the ‘“‘band.”’ That one woman could establish or control such a body in such novel religious lines against such bitter disapproval and for a quarter of a century preserve her authority with no falling away, no turning back from the plow handle, allegiance or doctrine, and faithfully continuing, 4s hard to beileve, shows at least a marvelous religious en- thusiasm and faith in the woman and head of this singular sect, and also confidence in her financial ability, for all earnings were managed and invested by her. That she is worthy of the latter trust is shown by the solid amount of property now owned by the sanctified ‘‘band.”’ Among other enterprises the sanctified eople established the Central Hotel, in 3elton, run entirely by women, and known to all traveling men and the public gener- ally as one of the best kept houses in the State. The nice ladies also boarded at and stopped at the “‘Central.”’ Succeeding so well in this enterprise, the band opened up another hotel in New York, Tex., and lately the Hotel Royal in Waco. The women are changed from one hotel to another, the ones in New York come down here for sev- eral months and the women here go up to the New York to work, thus relleving mo- notonous drugery of household work. People are “‘never heroes to their valet,” yet these sanctified people have been dally for over % years in close companionship with this woman, serving her, cooking, washing for her and under her direction working for others in all forms of drudg- ery and have clung to her and this strange doctrine she promulgated loyally and steadily. . Those who have all along held the move- ment in ene type pean call the “band” a fraud, a handful of weak women, held to- gether by one strong, shrewd woman: yet the members are many of them bright, intelligent women. That they should separate from hus- hands who were unbelievers, leave com- fortable homes and children, bear ridicule and take up such drudgery as these women have, out of door and in kitchen, not juat for a day, but for cover B® years, certainly cannot be eried down as a passing whim. In the early days the leader of this band was berated publicly and privately, was denounced by newepapers and by pulpit and threatened with expulsion town, mt was taken : : pe Byes and — beaten by M ¥ FANCY ELGIN CREAMERY | @0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 SPECIAL SALE BUTTER, {9 TO INTRODUCE OUR C PER LB. 3 ceats belew regular price.

Henry Roth, son of the General, was ‘Captain of the enemy's forces, with Frank Hutchinson and the _ redoubtable “Pug” Jones as Lieutenants. For 30 minutes there was not a lul) in the hostilities, and there was little advantage on either side. Sympathizing non-combatants ranged themselves on each side of the street and cheered each temporary advantage, but they were careful to keep out of range. Finally Capt. Foppiano led a hot charge and the enemy began slowly to fall back. Pressing his advantage Capt, Foppiano dreve the enemy into their fort, captured the outposts and the invaders became the invaded. Then it was that the Captain exe- cuted a daring coup. Arming himself with two ten-inch candlestick explosives, he ral- lied bis men and boldly marched into the fort. He timed his explosives so nicely that as he entered multaneously, completely with red. green and blue balls of fire, and completely demoralizing the garrison.

The _ price of peace was liquid refreshment for both armies, and the conditions were promptly complied with. The battle began at 9:30 Pp. m, and peace was declared at 10:4 p. m. Every officer and man on both sides sus- tained more or less injury except- ine the brave Capt. Fopplano, who, although exposing himself to the brunt of battle. escaped unscathed. Most of the injuries were trivial burns, but that any one escaped serious injury was remark- able, as the Roman candles were discharged at short range.

Probate Court Asked to Again Make an Examination—Letters From ‘Alleged Relatives. Attorneys Alexan@er UH. Robbins and Reno A. Aver: have petitioned the Probate Court for a new inquiry into the sanity of Mrs. Walburga 'Waeckerle, now an inmate of the St. Louls Insane Asylum, Mrs. Waeckerie has been in the public eye many years on account of her suits in the Federa! Courts for insurance money and damages for the death of her husband, William Waeckerle, alleged to have been killed by a train in “oulsiana nearly 20 years aco. Mre. Waeckerle secured $15,000 after pro- tracted litigation, then brought sult against the Government for a pension, her husband hayjng served in the Union army. She was beaten here and has since haunted the of- fice of the Clerk of the United States Cir- cult Court for the papers in the case. Although these are part of the court record ‘Mrs. Waeckerle insisted tlhiat she sew being defrauded when they were with- eld. Several weeks ago she was adjudged of unsound mind and committed to the asy- lum, the Public Administrator taking charge of her property. The case was given extended notice, #5 Was also the fact that Mrs. Waeckerle pos- sessed a small fortune. The two attorneys now interested declare it is their belief that the woman's mind is gound, but that she was distracted by the perfidy of alleged friends, and men who owed her money. They say this will be fully proven should a new inquiry be In- stituted and that the unfortunate woman's property would be restored to her. The news of the $15,000 spread far and wide, and numerous alleged relatives have come to light. One story, from Texas, is that a self-styled sister-in-law wants half of the $15,000, as, she claims, Mrs. Waeck- erle was the sister of her husband, and the money was theirs jointly. A boardin housekeeper in Shreveport, La,, has file a board bill against Mrs. Wae: ‘kerle with | the Public Administrator. A woman claiming to be Mrs. Wackerle’s niece called on Dr. Richardson Wednesday. She asked that the aged woman be released from the asylum and placed in her care. When questioned by an attorney the caller became confused and left the office without efta’biishing her c} aim.

Five children were born to William and Walburger Waeckerle, but all are dead. jer attorneys say she has no relative in America. THE ONLY HOPE IS IN ALGER. He May Favor Jefferson Barracks in Spit of the Quartermester-General. {i Jefferson Barracks gets a part of the general appropriation for the improvement of the military posts throughout the coun- try it will not come through the generosity of the Quartermaster-General.

SOME PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. gan His Career on a Salary of $6 a Week. “‘‘Minstrelsy is a lost art,” declared George Thatcher, the veteran end man, now at the Suburban Garden, when asked to hark back to the daya when he was young in the business and tell of changes the years had wrought. what real minstrelsy is. I dare gay not one person in a hundred that comes to this Kkarden ever saw the jawbone played. Don't know what it is? I thought so, Yet complete without one, tom. sirument from Africa, and whiie tained even a semblance of the.r aboriginal mode of living, piayed it on ali teatai oc- casions.

They never came out of the character. ‘The firet part was, of course, of the show and lasted from an hour to an hour and a half. kKverybody biacked up and wore the regulation dress suit knickers. Even the interiocutor wore the purnt.cork and the musiciatms gat in circle with the comedians and balladists. The jawbone was much in evidence, and from W to 16 minutes were devoted to banjo, triangle and tambourine playing. The songs, comic and sentimental, negro songs.

I wag sure enough black in the face, but there were tell tale marks on the pil- low and counterpane. The truth came out and there was a terrible hubbub in that orthodox household.

New York had several, Boston, hiladelphia and Chicago two each and St. Louls maintained one for several seasons, under the able management of Fred Wilson. brother of George Wilson. Permanently lo- cated minstrel companies gave way in time just as the old dramatic stock companies did. Then came the big road companies. Jack iHaverly’s was one of the first. His famcus ‘46—Count m—40’ was the sensa- tion of this country and Fngland. “Thatcher, Primorse & West's Minstrels were organized in 1882, and opened in Aug- ust of that company continued in existence seven years, and I think that no one will gainsay the | statement that ours was the representative organization during that period.

The way in which the goods of a store are got ready for a summer clearing sale is thus described by the manager of Fa- mous: “July 1 we issue orders to the heads of all the departments: te begin to get their stock in order, so it can be sold in a sum- mer clearing sale. “This is necessary because each depart- ment has a certain appropriation for the purchasing of goods and the summer goods must, therefore, not only be disposed of in erder to make room for tne fall stock, Dut also so there will be enough money in each Copartmant to buy the fail goods. EXvery item of broken stock is marked down to a price at which it can be sold, regardless of joss. The window trimmers are given a list of those articles which will make a good display in the windows. The sign writers are given the price cards on which is to be marked the old price and the reduced price “The advertising man is given a list of choice articies from the ‘heads of each de- partment which he is to advertise. He must be a good judge of goods, as we do not advertise goods as being ,worth a cer- tain amount unless they are worth it. ‘New clerks are employed the night be- O’FALLON PARK OBSERVATORY, A NEW AND HAN DSOME STRUCTURE.

Say They Will Compete With the Steel Trust. Scullin-Gallagher Iron and Steel Company filed articles of incorporation Thursday. Its capital stock is $500,000, which is divided into 53000 shares at $100 each. The incorporators and their holdings are: John Scullin, 4,32 shares; Harry Scullin, 100 shares; Thomas M,. Gallagher, 500 shares, Festus J. Wade. ® shares, and Edward 38. Robert. 26 shares. Officers have not yet been elected, but a meeting will be held in a few days for that purpose. The incorporators have announced that they will immediately begin theconstruction of a mammoth plant between the Missouri Pacific and the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad tracks, opposite Clifton Heights. The plant will be complete in every de- partment and will be fitied with the latest improved machinery. It will employ several hundred men, and will be the largest enler- prise of its kind in the West. Its promoters say it will refuse all over- tures to enter the trust and will be oper- ated on an independent basis as long as it can be made to pay. They say it has been organized in opposition to the trust, and will not recede from its position as long as it can carry on a profitable business. It is capitalized at $600,000, but its re- sources are many times that sum, Thomas M. Gallagher, one of the incorporators ol the company, is superintendent of tire Shickle, Harrison & Howard Iron Co, of this city, and has had a long experience in the iron and siee! trade. He will have charge of the new plant. The company will try to operate its busi- ness on the plan of the Carnegie and other Ksastern iron and steel concerns. it will build homes for its workmen near its plant and will supply them with the most modern conveniences. Every effort will be made to make their lot as comfortable as possible. LOCATING THE. ‘NEW JUSTICES. Commissicn Will Meet Fr iday to Detsr- mine the Question.

Brooks from Santiago, contains the name of Noble G. Rhodes of St. Lovis, a member of Com- pany M, Fifth United States Infantry. He is recorded as having died June 8 with yel- low fever. Victor E. his brother, Rhodes of 816 Chestnut street, has been seeking to verify the NOBLE G. RHODES. record, but has rot yet been able to obtain direct verification. He has little doubt, how- ever, that his brother is dead. When the war broke out young Rhodes, who would be now only @A years old, was practicing dentistry in St. Louis, having graduated from the dental college only two months before. He was sent to Fort Me. Pherson and had no active service. At the close of the war he was sent to Santiago on garrison duty. A letter received by his brother after the published report of his death appeared, but which was dated June 2, stated that he was suffering with dysentery. The young soldier had been four years in st. Louls. His parents reside at Los An- geles, C PREACHER OUT OF HIS BOUNDS. Criticism of a Woman Gets Him a Beating in a Texas City. PARIS.

Called on to Compete Before the Pub- lic Improvements Board. The Committee on Ligthting of the Board of Public Improvements will not have an ordinance ready to present to the Assembly ee night. It may be presented next week. The committee is conducting a pecullar competition. Under a decision of ex-Cliy Counselor Marshall the city cannot ask for alternative bids for doing any pwubliie work. It cannot ask for bids for lighting the streets with electricity or with Wels- bach lamps. The ordinance must gpecify one or the other. The Missouri-Edjison and the Welsbach companies have monopolies. Wihichever light is decided on there will be no compe- tition. Kut there is nothing to prevent the com- mittee from forcing the two monvupolles into competition before the ordinance is submit- ted. This is being done by giving the com- xanies a chance to fix maximum prices. ‘he light which these statements of ine companies indicate can be had the cheapest will be the light spec@fied by the ordinance. Mr. Fiad of the committee said Thursday that they were still gathering information and the ordinance would probably not be ready for several days.

CHICAGO, July f.—A locomotive that makes no smoke, that produces no cinders, that blows off no steam, nor whistle, nor smokestack, nor engine cab nor tender—this marvel in mechanics is the invention of Ar- thur Pillsbury Dodge. He calls it the kin- etic motor. He has just opened a large plant at Wilmington, Del., to manufacture motors of this variety in large numbers. Recently Cornelius Vanderbilt, .Jr.; Robert G. Ingersoll and other capitalists visited Mr. Dodge's works and rode in one of the new vary dh at 40 miles an hour. After the test was over Mr. Vanderbilt said: “T should think the kinetic system would be well adapted for work on elevated rail- roads. It fulfills the claims made for it. Mr: Dodge's invention has been used with great success on a suburban railroad at Babylon, L. I., on one of the lines in De- troit, Mich., and in Chicago. The inventor is now negotiating with one of the elevated railroads in New York looking to its adop- tion as the motive power to the exclusion of all others. The Dodge motor is adaptable to all forms of automobile contrivances—to carriages as well as to launches. “It is even feasible, so says the inventor, to construct motors of sufficient capacity to move an ocean-going steamship at the same rate of speed as now attained, while attended by a larger factor of safety and economy of operation than at present in the ordinary steamship engine. Arthur Pillsbury Dodge was 40 years old before he made it his “‘business to make money.” to use his own expression. Three years previous, at the age of 37, he founded the New’ England Magazine, having Ed- ward Everett Hale as chief editor. Well known persons representing a party of cap- italists and noted men of letters, including Secretary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage, William Dean Howells and the late Prof. David Swing and others, urged him to go to Chicago to publish a magazine there according to an admirable plan evolved by Mr. Dodge; and it was while making prep- arationsa for this project that the late George M. Pullman called Mr. Dodge’s at- tention to some experiments made there with a certain stored steam motor. This very imperfect attempt to solve the prob- lem of locomotion by steam without loss in the shane of exhaust steam and back pressure on the cylinders appealed to Mr. Dadge in principle, and the following nine years he devoted to making the theory of the stored steam motor feasiBle in practice, causing an evolution of the original prin- cipies goverring the latter. Believing that the steam locomotive mechanism is unqualifiedly the best, the simplest and most durable method in all respects for applying power to turn a car wheel. Mr. Dodge retained the link motion feature of the ordinary locomotive and adapted it to carry the equally s'mple and direct condenser svstem of his invention. Irstead of charging with cold water, as in the locomotive. he charged the boiler or storage reservoir placed transversely under the car body with superheated water at a temperature of 400 degrees. In other words, he started with the motor boller reservoir stored with the same quality and power of available energy that the locomotive can et only through forced draft and rapid, mperfect combustion of fuel, necesajtating the carrying of a tender and a treméndous fire under the boiler. Mr. Dodge found by experiments that only @ very small fire was necessary to Keep superheated water at a continuous tempera- ture of 400 degrees, and to this end he placed a small firebox within the boiler under the car body. This firebox is so smal] that it would hardly be noticed except for the drop lid with which it is closed, and as it is charged with ready prepared, burning anthracite coal, it does not emit any appreciable gases, and is, therefore, an inoffensive contrivance for assisting the boiler in maintaining the temperature of the water it contains. This water is now converted into steam in the ordinary loco- motive manner, it passes the cylinders as eteam, and, instead of escaping through a emokestack with puffing and noise, caus- ing a loss of some B-odd per cent, it is retained in Mr. Dodge's system in an at- mospheric condenser, which is stored away practically invisible on the roof of the car. Through the successful operation of this condenser, which undoubtedly is the crown- i result of Mr. Dodge’s inventions, the old fashioned forced draft and wasteful form of generating power in transit is en- tirely done away with, and likewise the at- tendant nuisances, such as smoke, sparks and cinders. TYhe motor must be recharged every 100 miles. Through the operation of the kinetic motors now running on the Babylon ralil- road, the extended trial runs In Chicago and through the average record made by the ew motors on exhibition in Wilmington, r. Dodge has beeen able to carefully com- pute the cast of building and equippin witht his system as compared with all Other existing systems. From these figures the kinetic system is not only cheaper than all known street railroad traction systems but also cheaper than the operation of the ordinary locomotive. DELAY ON CHICAGO’S SEWER Reconstruction ef the Joliet Dam May Be Disastrous to the Scheme. OHICAGO, July 6.—The trustees of the ilinois drainage canal will appeal to the courts to prevent enforcement of the order of the State Canal Commission requiring that one-third of the dam at Joliet be torn down and reconstructed, involving an added expense of $10,000. The 200 men at work on the dam have, however, been tem. porarily discharged. Chairman Snively says the cement in the Joliet dam is defective. This is denied by $pe trustees.

The Regiments Will Be Numbered From the 26th to the 35th, and Called United States Vol- unteers. WASHINGTON, July 6.—The order for the enlistment of ten new regiments of in- fantry was issued to-day by the Secretary of War. It is as follows: War Department, Washington, July 5, 1899.—By the direction of the President the folowing general rules are prescribed for recruiting from the country at large United States volunteers, as provided for by the act of Congress approved March 2, 1899, ublished in General Orders. No. 36 of 1899, eadquarters of the Army, Adjutant-Geh- erai’s Office. and for organizing the same into regimes: The strength of regiments, officers and enlisted men will be as provided for by sec- i tions 4 and 12 of the act of Congress ap- proved March 2, 1899. The regiments to be organized in the United States will be designated Twenty- gixth, Twenty-seventh, Twenty-eighth, Twenty-ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-first, Thir- ty-second, Thirty-third, Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fiftth Regiments of Infantry, United ates Volunteers. Of the commissioned officers to be ap- pointed for each of these regiments the field and staff officers, including medical officers and captains of companies, will be assembled at regimental rendezvous as thereafter designated for the purpose of theoretical and practical instruction in or- ganization, military administration, drill regulations, discipline, hygiene, camp sant- tation. etc. Daily instruction in the nomen- -,ature. care and assembly of parts of the Srifle and target practice will be a special feature of instruction of both officers and men. Applicants for commissions except offi- cers of the regular army, will be required to pases a satisfactory examination as to age, moral, mental and physical capacity to command troops, and must have hai ser- vice during the Spanish-American war. The recruiting service of the regular army will be charged with recruiting from the country at large, men for service in these volunteer regiments whose enlistments wil! be made for the period ending June 380, 1901. unless sooner discharged, and without restrictions as to a or educational ualifications, but in all other respects un- er the same rules and regulations as are prescribed for recruiting the rezular ser- vice. Except in special cases only, unmar- ried men wii] be enlisted for these rezi- ments. In view of the probable severe service of these regiments and the climatic conditions to which they may be subjected, the phvei- cal qualifications of both officers and enilist- ed men are of first importance. Only those fully qualified wil] be appointed or enlisted. The lieutenants and two of tiie medical officers of each regiment, will. as far racticab.e, be assigned to duty as as ants to recruiting officers of the regular army. Upon arrival of recrults at the regimental rendezvous the commanding officers of regiments will assign them to compantles, and the appointment and reduction of regi- mental and battalion. non-commisstoned etafl and company non-commissioned of- ficers and other enlisted grades will be g@overned by the law and army regula- tions. Each regiment so organized will, for pur- poses of discipline and supply, be subject to the orders of the commanding general of the department in which the rendezvous fe located, and the regimental commander will report by telegraph to the Adjutant- General of the department on his arrival at the regimental rendezvous. Ten regiments of infantry, United States Volunteers, will be organized as follows: Twenty-sixth at Platteburg Barracks, (New York: Twenty-seventh at Camp Meade, Pa.: Twenty-elghth at “amp (Meade, Pa.: Twenhty-ninth at Fort McPher.- eon, Ga.;: Thirtieth at Fort Sheridan, Il; Thirty-first at Fort Thomas, Ky.: Thirty- second at Fort ‘Leavenworth, K : Thirty- third at Fort Sam ‘Houston, ° .: Thirty- fourth at Fort* Logan, €: Thirty-fifth @t Vancouver Barracks, Wash.

CHICAGO, July 6—Fritz Andrae and William Reeves, who served in the United States Volunteer Signal Corps during the Philippine campaign until March 1, have just arrived in Chicago. Speaking of the beginning of the war with the Filipinos Andrae said: j “To what do I attribute their insurrec- tion against our Government? I will answer by saying that the people of the Philip- pines are inspired by an intense love of liberty. They want to govern themselves. The first impression in the United States Was that the Filipinos began the hostilities that resulted in the insurrection. This js not so, and thia fact is beginning to be understood now. On Feb. 4 four Filipino soldiers at night attempted to pass our l!nes @t San Juan bridge. Our guards called upon them to stop, but they did not, probably not understanding what was said to them. Our guards fired upon them, wounding or killing two, the other two running back to their blockhouse. The guard continued to fire after them, and this involved tn the Gring the insurgent guard at the blockhouse. A general engagement took place during the night. “Gen. MacArthur’s report of this matter @ays that Col. Torres came over to the American lines the next morning under a flag of truce as an envoy for Aguinaldo, @nd said that the engagement had taken lace contrary to Aguinaldo’s wishes. and at he was sorry it had occurred, and oposed the establishment of a neutral! ne between the two armies, so as to avoid trouble of this sort in the future.

MEXICO, Mo., July 6.—The protest of the Oklahoma aythorilies against the removal of Alex Jester to this State before the final issue of the habeas corpus proceedings seems to ‘have littie behind it. The prisoner has issued the following statement: ‘**T wish my friends in Oklahoma to know that I am at Mexico and aw being well treated. I am an innocent man, and have no fear of not getting a fair trial in Missouri. So far as my removal from Oklahoma is concerned it is all right and I was removed with my own consent. The officers treated we well on the trip and ouly done their duty. It was on the advice of my attorney iu Oklahoma that I applied fer habeas corpus. I am giad now I came here and It is the first exact likeness of the noted prisoner that would have come earlier had I acted on my own judgment. 1 would have to come some time earlier or later, for they made up tbetir winds to try me for an offense I never com- mitted, and all I want now is the good will and belp of my friends In Oklahoma and else- where, and a fair trial, and I will return with my innocence established. I hope my friends in Oklahoma will not cause the officers who arrested me or brought me to Missouri any trouble. They only did their duty as they un- derstood it. I have nothing to say against them, W. A. HILL, ‘“‘Arrested as Alexander Jester.’’ Sheriff Melson says that the report from Oklahoma that John W. Gates paid money to secure Jester’s release from the author- ities there is false.

Increased Charges on Shipments of | California Fruits. SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.—The Fruit Growers’ Express and the Continental Fruit Express have announced a horizontal] advance of 8 1-3 per cent in their icing charges, and all shipments of green de- ciduous fruits that go East from and after this date will be taxed for the new rates. Mhe reason given for the advance is the recent action of the Southern Pacific in advancing its carload minimum on fruit from 24,000 to 26,000 pounds. The reirigera- tor people claim they must be paid for icing ‘the extra ton of fruit, but. General Bre ight Agent Shepard Says the cost of re- frigerating will be no greater than at pres- ont. On an estimated Lotal of 7500 car loads = advance in rates, it is calculated, will ncrease the net earnings of the refrigera- a . ore bor companies for the season at least $100,- EE From Alabama.

THE DETROIT CONVENTION. GROWTH OF THE WORK REPORT- ED BY THE SECRETARY. Marvelous Spread of the Society, in All Lands, as Attested by the Re- ports Received From the Various Missions. a DETROIT, Mich., July 6.—Any apprehen- sion of light attendance at the Interna- tional Christian Endeavor Convention was dissipated by sunrise to-day. In the down- town district all through the earlier morn. ing hours persons not wearing the Chris- tian Endeavor badge were the exception. It was estimated this morning that upwards of 20,000 accredited delegates had arrived. aside from visitors who are not Endeay- orers., Between 6 and 8 o'clock this morning most Christian Endeavor roads led to the Central Presbyterian Church and to the Light Guard Armory. Several hundred vol- unteers for the service in the noonday evan- gelistic meetings, representing nearly all ihe Siates, gutuered at 7:8 in the former edifice, profiered their services by cities, and received assignments to various parts of the cily and generai instruct:ons trom the leader, Mr, «#1. 25. Giobud of wpring- tieid, Mass. Mr. Gibbud advised the young people how to act eftectiveiy as temporary evangelists. Shey were {oid off in squads, and at noon many factories and business centers were scenes of vwhe.r labors. The floor and galleries of tne city’s largest armory were nearly filied with bright-faced young peopie singing famiiiar hymns with utmost earnestness. At Silo the armory doors were closed, and attera prayer by President Clark, the ‘‘Daily Quiet Hour’ of prayer and meditation ensued, led by Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, D. D., of New York. The day was clear, cool, and altogether ideal when the first real business sess-.on of the convention opened to-day in ‘rent En- deavor. A sea ol 10,000 earnest counte- mnances were upturned toward the piat- form when the Kev. Nehemiah Boynton, D. D., of Detroit called to order. Again the great tent rang w.th hymns of praise, led by P. 8S. Foster-of Washington. The devotional exercises were led by one of the leaders and founders of the Methodist Ep- worth League, Bishop Ninde of Deiroit. Secretary John Willis Baer submitted his annual report. After singing by a colored quartette from Hampton Institute “Father Endeavor’ Francis E. Clark made his annual address. in which he said: Going and growing: growing and going, have been characteristic of every year of our history. All these advance steps have been gained, not by ignoring or neglecting the gains of the past, but by conserving them while new advances were made. Thus every advance ste for citizenship, mis- sions, internationa and interdenomina- tional fellowship, church loyalty and great- er efficiency within the society has been maintained and strengthened while the next year has seen some higher plane reached, some new duty undertaken, some new responsibility assumed. In many respects this last year has been the beat in our history; there have been more going and growing,@mMore advance and increase ‘than in any other year. The con- ventions have been larger and more stimu- lating: the denominational drift has been more decidedly than ever toward our inter- denominational movement, the growth in foreign lands has never ‘been so encour- aging; the thought of the quiet hour of personal communion with God has taken hold of the society with a blessed grasp that will never be relaxed; our horizon has been expanded to take in our responsi- bility for peace on earth and good will to man as never before. There is still room, however, on our peace memorial, let me remind you, for hundreds of thousands of signatures. Young men, make money for God. Pledge vouselves to turn your best ability to the making of money, not for a selfish and sordid purpose, but that through your money the world may be evangelized. Glorify this meanest of passions with the tod-like light of an unselfish purpose. Transmute this clay into pure gold. Make vour purvose very specific and definite. Bring to bear the force of our pledge upon vour business. Rout avariciousness with a rodiy purpose and say: rrosing in the Tord Jesus Christ for strength, I will make money for him. will at the first nossible moment support, through my own denominational boa rd, one or more workers for Christ on the home or foreign ‘field.”’ THE WORK IS SPREADING. Review of What the Society Has Ac- complished in a Year. Secretary Baer’s report says: Since last we met, Russia, at that time the only coun- try in the world without Its Christian En- deavor Society, has welcomed our princl- ples and methods, and to-day our interna- tional fellowship is complete and world- wide. Great Britain has over 6000 societies, and a royal welcome awaits us next Juy . Australia has over 2000 societies, and is represented in this convention by two delegates that have traveled over 6000 miles to bring greetings from our brothers and s#sters under the Southern Cross. In- dia has 454, China 148, Africa 136, Mexico 108, West Indies 103, Germany 101, Madagascar 93, Japan 73 and on through a long list, which I must omit at this time, but can- not pass by Spain, the country with whom we were at war last year. Spain, rent with war and turmoil, has more than held its own, for she has 36 societies. _ 5 There are now 979 Intermediate societies, there ought to be more; 14,080 Junior socie- ties: 8% Mothers’ societies, and 49 Senior soc'eties. Over a hundred societies are to ‘be found upon ships, merchantmen, and men-of-war; many societies in the soldiers camps,‘ and in unexpected places, suc as prisons, schools of reform, workhouses, almshouses, asylums, institutions for the blind and for the deaf, chools and colleges; ‘among car-drivers and motormen, police- men, traveling men, life-savers on the coast, lighthouse employes, in large fac- ‘tories, etc., to the number of over two dred.

I Among the eminent influences in real estate circles in St. Louis which the Post-Dispatch suggested would add great strength to the World's Fair movement is the firm of John E. Kaime & Bro. , In response to the call for the strong men of St Louis to array themselves in support of the World's Fair Mr. David F. such work as I can with proper regard for business duties. Personally, I believe in the Fair, believe it will doa great work for the Mis- sissippi and Missouri Valleys and the whole great and growing West and South- west, and that it will tend to stimulate the development of all of the varied re- sources of that great region. The large cities, St. Louis more than any other, sauce, lightly with salt and allow to stand one hour; ping into a deep frying pan or pot, put in the cabbage one hour; add a saltspoonful pepper and a tab] ) table.

Some of those who are not in sympathy with the movement say that the under- taking is too large to be brought to a successful concluston and that the burdens involved in carrying on the project are greater than the benefits to be derived. I, for one, do not believe that the first objection should be considered at this time; the State of Missouri and the City of St. Louis are now pledged to the Fair, and it must and will succeed. That the burdens of bringing the Fair to a successful conclusion will be great, no one should deny, but a few years in the life of a city or a State are but little in the general development of the city or State for ten, twenty, thirty or fifty years. The burdens incident to bringing the Fair to a successful conclusion, if sub-divided among the great population of 5t. 14 Louis, will not be insurmountable. I hope that every one will do. his share, cording to his strength and his means, and if he does the Fair cannot fail to be sero hs Sete The Rochen Unlenne. Kaime, as reported elsewhere, said he was not opposed to the “. | fair ard heartily commended the efforts of the gentlemen who have labored to make the great movement a success. “T hope it will succeed” was Mr. Kaime’s final word on the subject. This is the right spirit. The hopeful, favorable attitude and the good word are helpful and valuable. If it is impossible to give active service it is within the power of every citizen to give his influence, his counsel and his helpful word. But the logical deduetion from hope is work. Whenever it is possible St. Louisans should actively co-operate. The way to assure success is to work for success. The World’s Fair will succeed, but the co-operation of all the leading ctiizens who have built up St. Louis and are iden- tified with her strongest financial, industrial and mercantile interests would make success doubly sure. It would insure brilliant success. It would forever lay all doubt in the country of the intention of St. Louis to have the World’s Fair and of her ability to make a great fair. The World’s Fair needs the co-operation of the strongest, ts wealthiest, most sagacious men of St. Louis. In behalf of the st . people of St. Louis the Post-Dispatch asks all of the strongest jaa the Post-Dispatch ore 942 Cols. St. Louisans to rally to the support of the project.

Kaime gave the following to the Post-Dispatch: “I am not opposed to the Fair in any manner.

Wetmore. rl CHAPTER IV. chief of the detective agency leaned in his chair and for several minutes peared to be carefully weighing the many muurious phases of the case. Then he re- ed: “Tl confess, Fuller, that I am more puz- ed than ever. Those letters are certainly from Beausire. This man Caceras may have a wife in this city and still be chosen by Our client to come on this mission. weer Nanina may have been mistaken.” ' “No, I am positive that is not so,”’ re- plied Puller emphatically. “She was too @arnest. There was not even a shadow of a deubt in her identification. Besides, sir, @on’t you notice that neither will own the @ther, and also that the woman became very much agitated when questioned con- cerning the arrival of her husband, only to whe reassured when convinced that this was 2 the man.” . “Yes. that is so.” “Well, sir, I don’t suppose we can do @nything unti] this man comes.” ' “No. Drop around as I told you, and then we may solve a part of this puzzle.” - At a quarter to three that afternoon, as ‘Fuller was again closeted with his chief, Dr. Henrique Caceras was announced, and @t once shown in. He was told that he @ould place entire confidence in the detec- Rive who was present, and then Mr, Reel “Now, in the interest of my client, I wish to ask you a few questions, sir, Have ade a wife in this city?’ “Me, sir,”’ replied the Peruvian. “Neither nor anywhere else.’ " “De you know of a woman in this city Who bears the same name that you do?” e: “T @o not. A repofter asked me the same mestion this morning. The name is a com- mon one in South American countries, ugh I confess it must be quite a coinci- nee having two families with it here in -Letis and they not related. I know all the-Caceras family in Peru, and Cortain none of them are abroad just sates = “Well, Mr. Caceras, to be perfectly frank, ‘We_suspect this woman of being the per- #on who has possession of the secret wand hat you have come to this country to ute.” The interest on the Peruvian’s face was . but the chief of detectives was from the expression that there ie | me collusion and that the announce- ment Was a complete surprise. "Then the papers in the case were brought gpd the remainder of the afternoon passed reviewing the evidence that been secured. Finally Mr. Caceras d: “So you think the best plan is for eT, to. ge there?”’ 7 )@he did her voice trembled for the first two P three words, then became fierce in com- son with her usual languid tone. “I Gly think you can be of kin to us, br,” whe said. “I noticed your name those of hotel arrivals in this morn- ‘’ papers, and was speaking of you to Unt when you so opportunely came up ops. My husband comes of one of the Castilian families named Caceras, ‘¥ tbat has not intermarried with the pas the others have. But, senor, a you ca.led, for “3 is many A 1 have set ; and it will please me to hear of the doings of old friends. My poor husband is so occu- pled with his researches in the Holy Land that he can give me no idea when we may return.”’ Dr. Caceras had taken a seat on a low chair that she had offered him. “Is it not rather hard,” said he, “‘that you should be condemned to remain in this country dur- Ing his absence?’’ ‘‘Perhaps,’’ she replied, in a voice that had resused its smoothness of tone, ‘but the treatise upon which he is at work will have to be compiled with the assist- ance of a professor of Washington Uni- versity, so that his return to this city is imperative, and I might as well wait for him here as anywhere. Now, will you not tell me something of Lima?” He waited before replying. quite dark by this time, ing intently at her face he It was but look- could see forehead like two live coals. Slowly ‘he resumed: “Did you say Iquiqui, senorita?” “Senor!” The exclamation. was a cry; it was as if she had received a knife thrust, and from the curtains, where the elder woman had withdrawn, came a choking sound, then soft footfulls, as if she were leaving the balcony. The young- er woman collected herself at once and continued: ‘“‘That is an ugly seratch,”’ and she passed her hand in front of him. The sleeve came to the elYbow and the half of a perfect arm, from which ex- uded the most delicate perfume, was placed placed within a few inches of his lips. He was of Spanish descent. He leaned forward and _ kissed the firm, white flesh, murmuring, “I am so sorry,’ for he saw that there were a few drops of blood near the wrist. ‘“‘Permit me,’’ he added, and tied his handkerchief around the injured member. Both were silent for some little time, The young doctor wondered if it were possible that there was a mistake. Could this woman be all that was suspected of her? Might she be the victim of strange circumstances? But as he thought he re- membered that her very actions of this evening were in keeping with those de- scribed by his two friends that day on the club Wérande. He recalled the scenes described to him as enacted during the trip of the yacht Arequipa, and then there came back to him the remark she had made when he introduced himself that evening. “Ah,” ‘the said deliberately, ‘“‘you were aware of my arrival, you say, because of the notice in the morning newspapers. May I inquire which paper was kind enough to notice my presence, for I should be glad to see a copy.”’ “I really forgot which newspaper I saw it in,”’ ghe replied languidly. ‘Auntie called my attention to it, attracted, no dowbt, by the similarity of names. She is quite a good English scholar, is auntle, and reads the St. Louis papers. I must confess that I shall never be able to master the disagreeable language.” Ladies’ Waists and Skirts.

What a wealth of expression can be put into this syllable, so easily written with two letters and an exclamation point for emphasis! To Dr. Caceras that syllable, spoken as it was, coming through the night from that queenly person, passing those rosy lips, meant sentence after sentence. SO, it said, you are one of them! you are in league against me! you think that the agents you employ will be powerful enough! you chal- lenge me! do you? and interrogation after interrogation was there, ringing defiance, but not an inflection that showed weak- ness, not one thet even hinted at mercy. He had expected her to break down if for but a second; he was prepared to follow even a small advantage and his sentence was framed for delivery, but this exclama- tion, this unexpected reply, dumfounded him, and he remained silent, waiting for her to speak. ‘She knew the advantage was ee On aa al Ca f= > _ . . * * UL . - a ~ a x 4 J + “ d \" Sak : Sd ~~= OT «i. ~~... ’ ae . . oie 2? } 2 Sm _ pe . ~ . . > d “' any _ x >* ~ Y a» - ss = . : = “ we ‘tt . *,* 5 ee : 2 4 é Z Sa. . ¥ = — ~ Pace : ~> ; ae hain ean ai : : ~ w- F., - ~~ a, . 4; She pointed to a large cushioned chair and said: minutes till I return.”’ “Please sit there a few “That is very singular,” said the young man, in a low voice, as if not intending her to hear. “I beg pardon, senor.” “I said, “That is very singular.’ ”’ “What is so singular, senor?’ “That you should have seen a notice of my arrival in the morning newepapers.”’ “Why, senor?” “Because, senorita, I did not register at the hotel until 9 o'clock this morning, and if I am correctly informed the newspapers are printed before daybreak." The young woman bent forward and care- fully placed the mandolin on the floor by her side. She said slowly and distinctly: “I dare say some one gave the information to them.”’ “That is impossible, senorita, for only one man in this city knew my name until I registered this morning, and it is his busi- = (9 conceal rather than to make pub- ¢ She rose to her feet as he said this and approached him. “May I be pardoned the impertinence if I ask who this man is?’ Pincay Reali te he hers, and kept the upper hand. He saw her standing in the faint light that came from the street, leaning against one of the veranda pillars, as reserved and distant as if she had never spoken to him, as haughty as if she were a queen approached by a subject. He was in the awkward position of being seated on the stool, seated while a woman was standing, yet he could find no excuse to riee. For he had expected to remain seated and have her return to her chair, perhaps in tears; he had builded much on this interview, and a few minutes before was congratulating himself upon the work he had done for his friends in Peru and already heard himself thanked for it. Now it seemed ase if everything had been thrown away. What could he say to this marble creature standing there? Of course she knew and of course he knew, but he could not tell her what he knew. Indeed, the more he thought the more he wondered what could he tell her, what could he say?

His actions were partly mechani- cal, for the turn of events so surprised him that he hardly knew what he was do- ing. He saw the white-clad form walk as a statue through the dimly lighted hall and then it glided up the broad stairs. At the first landing the senorita stopped and turned around. Dr. Cacerag was at the foot, hesitating, wondering what to do next. An impulse came to thim to with- draw, to run back through the hall, seize his hat and leave. She smiled as_ she looked down upon him and beckoned him to follow. He thought vaguely that he might learn something if he did as she asked, and so he went up the Stairs. She did not turn around again and on the sec- ond floor led the way to a large front room, that proved to be a boudoir, richly furnished with the thousand trinkets that women delight to have around them. She pointed to a large cushioned chair near the window and said: ‘‘Please sit there a few minutes, till I return.’’ The next instant she was gone. The dootor looked around him, then out the window at the boulevard that was fast being deserted by vehicles and pedestrians. The room wag illuminated by tiny electric globes, set into the walls and so arranged that no one could tell where the light came from. He admired the paintings on the wall, the statues that stood on pedestals and the rich tapestries. He picked up a magazine and tried to read. She was gone a long time, was this new ‘hostess. An uncanny feeling commenced.to creep over him. The longing to flee came again and he rose as if to leave the room. At that instant the lights went out, not only the lights in the boudoir, but in the hall, and the glow was followed by perfect dark- ness. He geank back in the chair and lis- tened, but not a sound came. It was as if he were in an uninhabited hdéuse, the sole occupant. He recalled everything that had been said about this woman and the things she was suspected of doing, and a cold chill crept over him. Dr. Caceras was not a coward, but this uncertainty, this suspense unnerved him. He again rose to his feet, determined to manner, or at and meet a real enemy, bring matters to an issue and end the un- certainty. heard voices and stopped to listen. The senorita was saying: ‘“‘Auntie, it is the only course. Besides, there is absolutely no risk. Are we not certain of the power?” * * ” * * 2 e The Woman’s Wit. “Gone! What do you mean?” asked Mr. Reel. ‘‘He thas left the hotel.’’ “Did he leave any word?’ “No. He ordered his trunks sent by bear- er. He didn't take the trouble to come for them himseif,’’ and Fuller laughed as he contemplated this new puzzle in the mys- terious wand case. ‘Where did he go?’ “Here is a copy of the note he sent to the hotel. I know nothing more.” Antler’s Hotel—Gentlemen: Kindly de- liver to bearer my baggage now in room 101, to be taken to my home on Lindell boulevard. I believe there is nothing due you, as d paid in advance. Yours, sin- cerely. HENRIQUE CACERAS., Reel rose from his chair and paced the floor. “What do you think of this, Fuller?’ he asked, stopping suddenly. “Il don’t know what to think. She lives on Lindell boulevard.” Then the chief stepped to the door and called in a young man who was sitting at a desk in the next room. “Barney, describe that fellow Baptiste again.”’ “Five feet six, thin, one hundred and twenty pounds, olive complexion, Dbilack hair, mustache—" “That will do,” said Mr. Reel, inter- rupting this catalogue of characteristics. ‘He can’t be the man; it's impossibie.

There is something to think about. Fuller, send for Mr. Osborne; bring him in without delay.’’ J. Harry Osborne was a young man of good family who lived in bachelor quarters on West Morgan street. He was not rich, but his income was ample, since he enter- tained freely and was always well, though quietly dressed. Occasionally people won- dered what his investments were. His father’s estate “amounted to very little, hardly more than a thousand a year, yet the young man never seemed to lack for the means of gratifying his tastes, which, though quiet, were often expensive. - He had no bad habits; he did not gamble, and his adventures on ‘Change were the subject of jest rather than a serious matter with him, But while nobody knew where his money came from he was so correct and well-bred that nobody cared to inquire very curiously. They took him for what he seemed to be worth, and it must be con- fessed this was pretty nearly the reality. But Osborne was a shrewd fellow and did not let his talents rust. He was, in fact, a junior and very silent partner in the de- tective agency. No one knew this outside the office and only two or three there. He never appeared in court, was not a sworn officer and never figured publicly in any case.. He worked upon secrets which could be penetrated only by one familiar with the ways of good society and acquain- ted with its members. Having dispatched the messenger for Os- borne, Mr. Reel wrote this cablegram: ‘‘Roberto Beausire, 14 Plaga Des de Mayo, Callao, Peru: Forgery committed, or friend in danger. Come at once. REHL.”’ Then he wasted, moodily speculating on the probable outcome of the most difficult case he had ever handled. “Ah, Osborne, I am glad to sée you,” ex- claimed the Chief when that young man entered, “Something important?’ asked Osborne. “Yes, very. You will need all your wits.” The story fascinated the junior partner. His imagination was lively and he forsaw abundant opportunity for the exercise of his subtlest faculties. For three hours the two men canvassed the case, examined all its byways and tried to construct a plan wholly guess work. But at the end/ they were no nearer than at the beginning to any clear notion. The mystery baffled them. The sudden appearance and disap- pearance of young Caceras simply excited more theories and deepened the darkness. “All I can suggest, Osborne, is that you visit her. You have met her, I suppose. I hear she is well received by many people of authority in society.” “No, I never did, but I can get Morgan to°call with me. He has paid her some court. I will manage to have a tete-a-tete with the lady. You will hear from me to- morrow. 2 e . ° ° The ineetind was cool, in nisamint con- trast to the night before,and Mrs. Henrique Caceras wore a cashmere shawl ovef her Shoulders as she sat on the large balcony.

I was glad to note his return. “Yes ehe replied, Mr. Caceras is at home, but he has retired. I am worried about him, I fear his work has been too much for hin. He is one of those men who know not mod- eration in work and he pays the penalty. But I hope quiet will restore him.” “And are his researches at an end?” asked Osborne. “Oh, yes, but they must be sifted and arranged for publication.

Gome of the Difficulties Which the Po- lice and Detectives Have En- countered in Their Search. —_— That the police realize the difficulties that confront them in running down the mur- derer of William Poston Scott, is shown by the fact that Chief of Detectives William Desmond took personal charge of the case Wednesday night, and went over the ground himeelf carefully. Until after midnight the Chief was in the immediate vicinity of the seene of the killing, and heid interviews with’ everyone thai he thought could throw any light on the subject. The Reltes are as much in the dark now as they were before respecting the identity of the murderer. Chief Desmond has given Detectives Walsh and McCarthy the case and they have been instructed to do noth- ing else until they have reached the bottom of the tragedy. These detectives are at liberty to draw upon the detective and po- lice forces for as much additional aSssis- tance as they may need. There are many circumstances that will make it exceptionally difficult to locate Scott’s murderer. The crime was committed on the night of July 4. It was about 11:30 o'clock and Mr. Scott was on his way to the home of his brother-in-law, Judge James A. Seddon, 8341 Waterman avenue. The detec- tives have learned that Mr. Scott had passed that evening with friends on Vande- venter avenue, and that he boarded a Del- mar car on the Lindell railroad at Vande- venter and Finney avenues. He rode to Union avenue, where he got off and was walking north on Union avenue when the murder occurred. It is clear that a footpad fired the shot _that ended Scott’s life. He was on the west side of Un‘on avenue. There a row of small maple trees skirts the pavement, Numerous electric lights make the pavement lght at all points. Scott saw a man on the pavement ahead of him, but he thought nothing of that. When he met the man the footpad suddenly commanded him toe throw up his hands. Scott, like the brave man he was, did not comply. Instead he struck the high- Wwayman on the head with his umbrella. Then the robber fired the bullet, striking the victim in the abdomen, Scott did not fall, but walked on toward the Suburban tracks, where he hailed a passing car and Was taken aboard. After shooting his man the footpad disap- peared. Every one in the neighborhood may nave heard the shot, but if they did they said no heed. It was on the night of the ‘ourth of July. Men and boys had been fir- ing revolvers all day and all night indis- criminateiy. There was no reason why any one should pay attention to one shot out of a thousand. No one saw Scott’s assailant save the vic- tim himself, and he died without being able to give a description. The police are handi- capped on this point. Then there was noth- ing taken from the wounded man. The po- lice have absolutely nothing by which to trace him. Had the robber secured a watch or some piece of jeweiry it might have led io his discovery. Chief Deemond admits he is baffled at p esent, but he says the case will not be nbandoned as long as there is the slightest (nance of locating the murderer. r a HE RESISTED THE OFFICERS. Benton Revelle Drew His Revolver When Arrested. Benton Revelle, an East St. Louis ped- dler, was arrested by Chief of Police Hauss and Detective Enright Wednesday, charged with stea.ing harness from farmers in vari- gus portions of Southern Illinois. Revelle was found in his bugy in the northern part of the clty by the officers jus Was getting ready, to leave. Me attempted a “gun play” with Chief lauss. but Detective Enright struck the prisoner's arm and knocked his revolver to the ground in time to prevent a shoot- ing, Information as to the guilt of Revelle is Said to have been furnished the author- ities by a prisoner at the Four Courts in St. lovis, mamed McDonald, who was locked up on a similar charge. > 7 —~ ~ a ans he ee —= THIS BURGLAR HAD BAD LUCK. Captured After He Had Forced an En- trancs to a Saloon. A burglar was caught entering Charles Renz’s saloon, at Granite City, about mid- night Wednesday. A stranger had been seen prowling around the place several times and Renz told his barkeeper, Theodore Kirchner, to sleep in the saloon. Wednesday night Kirchner was awak- ened by some one prying at the front win- day. He waited until the burglar got both feet inside, then ordered him to throw up his hands. The intruder jumped out of the window. Kirchner shot at him twice, then ran out of the rear door and seized him as he turned the corner of the building. Po- liceman Dumas was attracted by the shots and took charge of the prisoner, who gave his name as Philip Sullivan. SETTLEMENT SEEMS IN SIGHT. President Nash of the Smelter Trust Is Going to Denver. DENVER, Colo., July 6.—President W. N. Byers of the State Board of Arbitration said to-day that everything looked favor- able for an early settlement of the differ- ences between the Smelter Trust and its employes. “The men seem fair-minded.” said r. Byers. “President Nash of the Smelter Trust is expected to arrive in Denver to-morrow, and I believe he will give Mr. Grant full authority. All that will be necessary will be a little unbending by both sides, which I am sure can be well. done without the @id of the board, which does not want to come into the trouble officially unless cir- cumstances make it absolutely necessary.” MUST PAY VEHICLE LICENSE. Owners Who Haven't Paid Will Be Arrested and Prosecuted. Within two weeks License Commissioner Theodore Kalbfell wil] order a roundup of unlicensed vehicles and bicycles. The or- ders will be to arrest every owner of a wheeled vehicle of any kind required to be licensed unless it bears a tag. in former years these raids were directed only against the bicycle owners.

HIS BOOKS ARE RIGHT LAESSIG NEED NOT HAVE FEARED AN INVESTIGATION. THE POLICE ARE PUZZLED. Accident, Suicide and Murder for Robbery Hach Advanced to Ac. count for His Death. o—_——_—- Another mystery is added to the unsolved comp.ications arising out of recent deathg in St. Louis by the Coroner's inquiry in the case of Clement Laessig, the bookkeeper whose body was run over by @ train on the ’Frisco Railroad betweep Arloe and Kirk. wood Sunday night. It wae believed immediately after the dis. covery of the body that Laessig had com- mitted suicide. This theory has been con- siderably shaken by the inquest, and Cor- oner Lioyd refused to close the investiga- ilon Wednesday, announcing that he would hold it open until the poiice had made a thorough inquiry into the case. It now seems probabie that Laessig was knocked down and robbed by thugs and his body placed where it would be mangied by a train to conceaj) the crime. However, the death may have resulted from an accident, or Laessig may have committed suicide, The accident theory lacks corroborative evidence. The body was lying on the track when the train approached. Laessig would hardiy have gone to sleep in that position. The police theory of suicide is based on the facts that there was a hole resembling a bullet wound in Laessig’s temple and a re- volver wit! an empty shell was found near the body. The autopsy showed that the hole was caused by a dbiow, and, on close examination, it was found that the re- volver had not been discharged for some time, as evidenced by rust inside of the barre] Laessig l'ved at 2789 Arioe avenue. He. worked at the store of his employers, Wet- terau & Goebel, Second and Walnut streets, Sunday. If he started home by train he would have been obliged to walk along the railroad track, where he was found dead, The officers who began the investigation reported Thursday that Laessig probably feared the result of an examinat:on of his books, which was begun Monday, in conse- quence of the dissolution of the Weitterau- Goebel partnership. Laessig was seen in Schoor’s saloon, Second and Market streets, at 8 a. m. Sunday. According to the de- tectives, he drank a great dea! of liquor ai that time. The detectives also call atten- tion to the fact that the company in which Laessig's life was insured for $%,000 does not pay on suicides. Laessig's relatives believe he was mur- dered. @ was thought to have a wallet containing $250 in hig inside vest pocket when he left home. It is known that he wore a valuable diamond, a gold lodge em- blem and a watch. The waitlet and the jewelry were not on his person when his body was picked up. The only thing of value in his pockets was a purse containing Laessig’s employer, Mr. Wetterau, stated to the Post-Dispatch Thursday that an ex- pert accountant had been at work on the firm's books since Monday, and had found no discrepancy. EFFECT ON COTTON MARKET. Dealers Do Not Think the Texas Flood Will Affect It. NEW YORK, July 6.—The news of the flooding of the cotton fields in the Brazos Valiey, Texas, while not-tending appre- clably to lower quotations on the Cotton Exchange. had the effect of steadying prices, The brokers are waiting for fuller reports of the extent of the devastation before estimating the effect of the floods upon the cotton trade. Several large deal- ers who were spoken to at the exchange say that the consequences of the submerg- ing of the cotton flelds would not be feit -mmediateiy. The result mostly to be feared, they said, was the probability of the ground Fm useless for replanting pur- poses. If that should prove to be the case the cotton trade may for some time be af- fected to some extent, but not considerably, for the reason that the plantations now under water yield a very small proportion of the total cotton output of this country, Henry Hentz, one of the leading cotton men of “ city, said: ‘‘The 11 counties south of aco, through which the Brazos River passes, it is estimated, produce 450,- 000 bales of cotton, but I do not believe that the whole crop has been lost. It is hardly been flooded, and, in fact, I have received dispatches stating that the first reports of the disaster were exaggerated. A tele- — which has just come to me from aris, Tex., states that the estimate of the damage is put down to 200,000 bales. When it is considered that this amount is less than 2 per cént of the entire output of cotton in this country last year, the loss afer all, is not serious. Moreover, the rains which flooded the low lands will be bene- ficial to the high lands.’”’ The optimistic view taken by Mr. Hentz is no so.ace to the shipping lines that carry freight between this port and Texas. “The overflowing of the Brazos River,” said one of the officials of the Mallor Steamship Line, ‘‘will cause very severe login to the shipping companies runnin to Texas. We carry more ae — line, for instance. cotton than any other kind of fre’ if the destruction to the plantations nn. greet as has been reported, it will be a ard thing for us and for commerce gen- erally between this port and Texas.”’ Many of the local banks have correspond- ents in Texas, but none of them are yet able to estimate how much, if anything, they are likely to lose through the destruct- lve floods in the “Lone Star State.” At’ the office of Latham, Alexander & Co., the leading cotton brokers of this city, it was Said that no special advices had yet been received from the devastated districts.

A unique duty of the cash boys in Wanamaker's New York establishment is to go to school every morning from 8 to 10. A portion of them, number- ing about 80, assemble in a cheerful and commo dious room in the basement and devote themselves to arithmetic, spelling, grammar, writing, com- position and other rudiments of an education. The school, the idea of which originated with Mr. Wanamaker, was started experimentally early last fall, and bas proved so successful that it has now become a preSenees feature of the store. The echool work has been found to Increase the effi- clency and usefulness of the boys in their store work, and is therefore valuable to their employers as well as themselves. The 180 beys are divided into classes, and each clase has two seasions a week. Regular attendance and strict attentjon to study are as much in- sisted vpon as care in any work about the estab- lishment. The majority of the boys, however, need no urging to take advantage of an opportunity of an education, The business experience they have already had has given them an appreciation | of its value. Arithmefgic correct use of the English es most dwelt upon in the cash boys’ school, and, under the direction of Miss Alice Boutelle, whe learned to teach school in her native State of Ver- mont, a large number of the boys have made progress which is very marked. The books ia which they write their exercises and composi- tions, on such topics as ““‘The Duties of a Cash Boy,"’ are models of neatness and plain, legible handwriting. While many of the formalities of ordinary school life are 7 with, very cate ful records are kept of the work of eac boy, and these have much weight ia the matter of pro- motion im the store. Many letters have been received from parents, expressing gratitude that thelr boys, while ob- liged to earn a living, are at the e Ume te acquire the fundamentals ef an education. First Game of Dominoes. Two monks who bad been committed to a lengthy seclusion contrived to beguile the Gresry bours of their confinement, without breaking the rule of silence which had no tm upeo them, 4 showing each other small flat stones marked wi black dots. By a preconcerted arrangement the winner would taferm the other of bis ngs 4 by repeating in an undertone the fret line the @aper prayer. In process of time the two mwonks managed to complete the set ef stones and te per fect the rules of the game, eo that when the term of ipearceration bad espired the game was so in- teresting that it was generally sdopted by all inmates of the monastery es lawful pastime. It very soon spread from town to town and became popular throughout Italy, and the fret line of the veapera was reduced to a single word, domino, by which name the game has ever since been kDow dD.
