Roosevelt was at the White House to-night and h‘s presence here carries with it a significance not generally understood. He comes by invitation of President McKinley to d‘scuss the Philippine situation and give his views as to the best way to settle the trouble there and the future policy to be pursued. Some days ago Gov. Roosevel* addressed a letter to the President. In it he dwelt at some length on the ineffectual efforts that had been made by Gen. Ot's and the Peace “ommission to subdue the Filipinos. Neither the force of arms nor the persua- sion of diplomacy haa sufficed to bring Aguinaldo to terms To Gov. Roosevelt's mind, a crisis was at hand. H's recent Western tour convinced him of that. He offered many suggestions, PART II. es.

It was necessary, he held, to take | steps at once to re-enforce the troops al- |ready at the front. But, more than that, it was of the greatest importance that a man should be placed tn charge who com- bined the ability to command in the fiéld with a capacity for governing and looking after civil affairs. Such a man, Gov. Roosevelt told Presi- dent McKinley, could be found in Gen, Leonard Wood, whose record at Santiago ‘during the days of fighting and afterward as Governor of the province had demon- strated peculiar fitness for the dual duties. Gov. Roosevelt itn his letter to the President went even further than this. He for volunteers from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It would be only a slight step for Gov. Roosevelt to become actively engaged in military life again, ahd he has openly informed the President that he is at his command in-any way or shape that wil! extend the grand prestige of American arms. President McKinley, in addition, has become much more impressed with the sin- Roosevelt’s protestations of loyalty and support since the return of the The Governor at once declared h‘mself for the renomina- tion of the President and counseled the country to stand by the Chief Magistrate ‘through thick and thin. For this he has earned the gratitude of the President and the conference between the two was of a closer nature on this account. “Smash the insurrection if the entire army has to be sent to Manila,” was the substance of his advice when he met Presi- dent McKinley. This course and the ap- pointment of Gen. Wood will, he thinks, ac- complish the purpose. That is why Gov. Roosevelt {s in Wash- ‘ington to-night No doubt there will come out of his visit a report that he is to be of.- fered the portfolio of Secretary of War. i'That Gov. Roosevelt is ambitious to fil) that office those who are near to him are in- clined to believe; that he would sacrifice the position of Governor of the Empire State, or that he will even be given the chance, are matters of merest conjecture. Certain it is that his counsel has been sought by the President, and that he ‘has been lis- tened to with great respect. Whether ‘his visit will result in action along the lines indicated the future alone can show. Gov. Roosevelt to-night dictated the fol- lowing interview: “I have come to Washington at the re- quest of the President to go over with him and the officers of the War Department ceriain questions affecting the new volun- leer army, especially as regards the per- sonnel of the officers. The President has told me that he wishes only recommenda- tions based upon the efficiency of the men recommended and that he will pay heed to no others. Most certainly i should give no others, and I feel that the President’s at- titude in the matter in the face of the ter- rifle political pressure to which he is and Will be subjected is such as to entitle him to the support of all men who feel that politics have no place in the army, wh? feel that it is in the peculiar gense the property of the whole country, and that in the giving of commissions ond promotions alike absolutely no consideration should enter outside of the merit of the men as soldiers. “My own recommendations will be lim- ited to the men I had under me, or saw in action and to the members of the New York volunteer regiments, of whose merits 1 have as Governor, hot merely official knowledge, but the hnowledge gained from per- sonal inquiry among their superiors.’ Referring to the genera) situation in the Philippines and the policy of the Adminis- lrat.on with reference to those islands, Mr. Kooseve also st Said: “Of course, any American worthy of the name must stand behind the President in his resolute purpose to bring the insur- rection in the Philippines to an end. 1 have no question that by the beginning of the dry season, Gen.

A Frisco Fireman’s Terrible Experi- ence After He Had Seen His Com- panion Go Down to Death in the Raging Torrent. A man whose clcthine was saturated with water, whose head was cut and who could hardly walk staggered intu a restaurant at Valley Park, ‘st.

Neely could hear the animal shake oft the water as it climbed ‘onto the bank, Soon after a freight train of the St. Louls & San Francisco Railroad passed and Neely shouted aloud for help. The en- gineer’s whistle seemed to mock his cries. The 'Frisco and Missour!

Many of the care switch at Park, and Neely, as he hung sus- pended by the slender limb in the cold waters, could see the red and green lan- terns as they were going along the tracks. Yet fate was against him and he was doomed to an all night siege in the river. It was a coid night, the water Was icy and Neely’s limbs were frozen stiff. His teeth chattered and soon his voice was but a whisper. Slowly the hours by. Valley passed by. To Neely | they were a lifetime. His limbs grew numb. His teeth chattered. He could hear the night } the woods and the howling 'of dogs in the distance. His fairly frozen to the tree branch, yet he dared not relax his hold for an instant, lest the raging waters sweep him down to death. In imagination he could still see the agonized face of Dr. Cooper as it disap peared beneath the waves. And then he could see the figure ofthis dead child, lying so still and white at home, its waxen face | and fingers aglow with “the light that | never was on sea or shore.’”’ But morning came at last. The gray dawn, with a cold mist, lay over the woods and the river. Neely’s brain. was reeiing by this time. He had .begun to have vis- ions and to dream dreams. But as the sun rose he shook himself and called back the little life that was lying low within him. When he could see distinctly he noted with joy that the river had fallen almost as rapidly as it risen, and he felt that he could infra muras in hands were | longed absence.

After thinking] the matter ‘over fully we concluded that om account of the threatening night Dave hay staid over in Manchester with friends. It rained heav- ily here up to about 8 o’clock and this caused the big rise in the stream. Dr. Cooper and my son went to cross it i was like a torrent.” The restaurant proprietor, John Meyers, Was puzzled when Neely came into place and told of Dr. Cooper being drowned. “I did not quite understand him,” said Mr. Meyers, ‘“‘but before I could question him he walked out. But I got a rig and with several men drove to the creek. We before we recovered the doctor’s body. was about a half mile from the point where they were thrown into the creek.”’ The Coroner of St. Louls County con- ducted the inquest yesterday and returred a verdict of accidental] death The body of Dr. to St. Louls this morning.

Glaize Creek was out of its banks Friday right. Recent rains had swollen the rivu- lets that were tributaries and the stream, deep and treacherous, was rushing wildly. A mile and a half east of Valley Park there is a ford. ‘Toward this place at 9 o'clock that evening drove Dr. Samuel L, Cooper. with Neely, returning to his county office from a visit to Manchester, where née naa gone at Neely’s request to procure a minister to attend the burial services of the latter’s dead baby next cay.

Neither Dr. Cooper nor his companion could swim. They had struggled in the water for probably 10 minutes when the doctor called out: “Neely, where are you?” The answer was: “I'm at the horse's head.” “I'll hang to the harness,” said the doo- tor. The horse was all the while trying to free itself. Neely, pulling on the bridle, drew its head under the water. He was kicked and bitten several times.

With rapidly beating heart and eyes un- naturally lit he nerved himself for the su- preme effort and fell into the water, To his intense delight he found he could touch the bottom of the creek, and so he slowly dragged his stiff l.mbs out upon the bank. There he fell prone in the mud and lay panting from unwonted exertion. Final- ly he rose and dragged himself into the town. Stopping only long enough at the little restaurant to tell the story of Dr. Cooper’s death, he proceeded homeward. His mother, Mrs. Mary Neely, did not rec- ognize him when she opened the door. He was hatless, coatless and his face terribly bloated. His damp and muddy hair was hanging about his face. “Who are you?’ asked Mrs. Neely. “I’m Dave,” he gasped. Then he swooned and fell to the floor. It was some time before he regained con- sciousness. He is now lying seriousiy ill with fever. Yesterday Mr. Neely’s baby, Minnie, aged 7 months, was buried. The father could not attend the funeral. The child died Thursday and Neely performed before the little one was laid away. The nearest min.ster was in Man- chester, Mo., three miles from Valley Point. To that place Neeiy had asked Dr. Cooper to drive him Friday night. -The doctor had acquiesced. On the way home Dr. Cooper stopped in Meramec Heights to see a patient. He started from there homeward by way of the creek to make a short cut. Dr. Cooper's mother, Mrs. M. B. L, Coop- er, lives at 40038 Castleman avenue, this city. The doctor graduated with high honors from the Missouri Medical College several years ago. His practice extended over the western half of St. Louls County, In Valley Park the Doctor lived, at the residence of Mrs. James McIntosh. “Dan was his pet borse, but it always had an aversion to water,” she said. ‘It was after 6 o'clock when Dan reached home.” Mrs. Molntosh hadé worried over the Doc- tor’s absence during the night, and ‘‘Dan" was mute evidence that some terrible thing had befallen his master. Mrs. Neely was greatly alarmed when her husband failed to rturn. His brother, James, too, was worried. “Dave,” he said, “never staid — like this before.’ There had been quite @ gathering at the Neely home that night, out of sympathy for Mrs. Neely in her bereavement, and the aecighbors fell to Dave's pro- thought it well to have a reiigious service , / ° ; fin ‘ “pe . : iy 4 Fig 0 ee 7; Davo W.

The town of nd, in Fort Bend County, was in rp Jast night, but news from there shows that the river fell three during the morning hours. The best ized force of rescuers that ever did Mty on a similar occasion has been sent Sem Galveston and Houston.

When the loss “of cotton is considered the figures creep “hto the millions on that alone. The floods fn the Brazos Valley have damaged the tton crop in 13 counties. The production of these counties jn 1597-98 was 28/,989 baies. Fhe loss is estimated by conservative per- which will bring the 4otal up to 22,000 bales. When the fact is aken into consideration that all or nearly @li of the fencing is destroyed and the ‘crop left to the mercy of animals, as well as Raving been submerged, it will be seen that the prospects of saving more than 4 small portion is gloomy, as a conservative Stimate of the number of bales destroyed is the flood in the 13 Brazos Valley coun- at 225.000 bales. Th.s indi- Cc loss of $5,626,000, estimating the value of a bale of cotton to be $20. Of course, no estimate can be made of the money loss sustained by the destruction of other crops, houses, fencing, stock, bridges, railroad work, etc., but it will reach enor- ous proportions. The Poaen ier of ye who have been made homeless by the high water is a mat- ter of conjecture. Most of them, of course, re tenant negroes. In the neighborhood of rookshire, in Waller County; Fulshear, Sigariand and Richmond vast plantations are under water and the negroes on the plantations have lost everythin in the world they had. They are being taken care of now by local and State aid and all their immediate wants are met, but even after the flood subsides most of this number will still be subjects of charity. It is too late to plant crops again for this season and hey must live till next year. The contribu- ons to the flood sufferers have been gen- erous. Galveston alone has sent forward in provisions more than $200, and commit- tees are stili at work securing funds. Dr. L. 8S. Downs went to the flooded dis- trict to-day to see what is needed in the Way of medicine and hospital supplies. He is of the opinion that widespread sickness will follow an overflow of such long dura- tion. It is probable that a corps of physi- Clans will follow the men with the boats and the sick and distressed will be re- Heved. The railroad situation so far as the running of trains is concerned is not much improved. The International and Great Northern and the Houston, Kast and West Texas are the only Texas lines furnishing through transportation from here. The Southern Pacific hopes to be in condition to G0 so in a day or two. To sum up ‘the situation: The waters are alling in the northern counties of the ooded district, but are still as high as ever toward the gulf. It will be several @ays before all danger is past. HOW TO PREVENT FLOODS. An Engineer Suggests the Building of | Dams and Ditches. WACO. Tex., July 8.—Experienced engi- meers say that the expenditure of $25,000,000 would prevent all future flood damage in Texas. make the rivers navigable all the months in the year and impound a suf- ficient quantity of the storm walicr to irri- ate the entire State. He recommends that he Governor request all county clerks in the flooded counties to report the width and depth of the flood, each clerk as to his own county, in order that the Legis!ature may have correct data for a future effort to protect the people from the savage uat- tacks recurring periodicaily from the rivers creeks. “Tt is worse than Indian !ncursions,"’ Col. Johnson said, ‘and people have a right to expect protection against enemies of life and property, the same now as was the case when the Indians took away scalps and live stock from the ploinee*s. The State or general Government should provide a system of dams and cacuit, the latter emptying into storage basins, so that sav- Q@ge Waves can not drive communities into “ree tops to be tortured by mosquitves and ewast, after seeing their children drop one one into the water, follow them into the fiopd, entire families, after enduring pangs Of thirst and famine, dying in the verfioW miserable deaths, worse than In- jan torture and more protracted,” Col. Johnson says the loss to railway companies, telegraph and telephone lnes, obbers and retailers, farmers and tenants, aking all the rivers and creeks into con- sideration, with their overflow of last month and this month, will amount $50,000,000, the cotton, wheat and corn being only part of the grand ag regate, taking into account the oflods in the Rio Grande d the Colorado, which caused awful waste fore the recent floods arrived. It w‘ll take year, Col. Johnson says, to restore the ple in the flooded region to partial com- ort and many will die from the awful ef- fect of the suffering they endured. “Every barrel of water taken out of a Fising water"’’ Col. Johnson said, “has its effect Epon the extent of the oyerfiow. It & possibile achievement of engi: i backed by sufficient money, > gc freshet water from the r.ver, transfer it into canals, store it in reservoirs and con- trol the waterways of the State, instead of Bilowing them to run riot and devastate the valleys, accompanying destruction of Seen ine with anguish and loss of life. The ood just ending, awful as it was, will have ite «attendant biessing if aoe ae disaster teaches, 2cge @gainst repetition of the wate of June and July, 1899. The adm y Boone he about to yield to another, and with the beginning of a new ce ntury arrangement should be made to prevent disasters rhian the ancient people would not abide in the early ages. The ruins of canal systems in existence in Mexico when Cortez cone uered that country will furnish the plan which if adopted, will prevent future flood dam: @ge in the Lone Star State.” FLOOD NOT SUBSIDING.

NO FEAR OF RED RIVER. Heavy Rains Have Fallen, but There ‘Is No Flood. Special to the Post-Dispateh. TEXARKANA, Tex., July 8.—One of the hardest rains of the season fell here to- day. For seven hours water poured down without ceasing. Advices from the Indian Territory above here are to the effect that a heavy rain was falling all day. At Ful- ton, 19 miles north of Texarkana on Red River and the Iron Mountain Railway, the river is very low to-nfght, but from the heavy rains above a rise is looked for. At present, however, the river is as low as usual and it will take several days’ of heavy raining to put it near the high water mark. The rain to-day was badly needed, PEOPLE IN TREE TOPS.

Special Cable te the Post-Dispatch, Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Compauy. LONDON, July 8—-Mr. W. W. Astor's recent entertainments have revived the old stories that he once invited so many guests to Cliveden that when the last four arrived only one room wag ava‘lable for the whoie pariy, which consisted of a man, his wife his valet and her maid. Nothing couid be done, and the servants did not eeem in- clined to trouble their master about it. In the end, fortunately, it happened that the lady knew another lady there and they shared one room, while their husbands arranged some shakedowns in a dressing room, and the servants went, goodness knows where. Cliveden certainly can not be called ‘‘Lib- erty Hall,’’ for Mr. Astor hae a horror of unpuncwuaiity. Everyone is obiiged to be there exactly at the right moment for luncheon, dinner and even breakfast. When a lady came in rather late the host showed his disapproval by not rising from his seat, leaving someone else to find her a chair and see to her wants. Moreover, he has no scruples about tell- ing the guests when they are expected to depart. Once last winter some important people took deadiy offense because they were told they might shoot all day if they chose, but the carriage would be ready to take them to the station at 6 o'clock sharp. MAKING READY FOR DEWEY. Fifty Thousand Persons Want to See Him When He Visits His Home. Special to ti® Post-Dispatch. MONTPIXLIER, Vt., July 8 —Charles Dewey, brother of the Admiral, has cabled the Admiral, on behalf of Gov. Edward Smith, asking him whether he will come to this city directly wpon his arriva)] in this country. Both Mr. Dewey and the Governor are so sure that the Admiral will start for Montpelier as soon as he reaches New York that they have already @rranged for his reception. Over 60,000 persons have already signified their intention of being present. Every room in the Pavilion, Mont- pelier and other hotels and boarding houses has been engaged, and board at private houses brings enormous prices. Many of the guests will be obliged to sleep as far distant as Essex Junction and Burling. ton. Speci@i night trains to carry the crowds to these places have already been arranged for. The whole State is in a stew regarding the military end of the programme. Vermont had but one regiment, and, as this was made a volunteer organization an has been mustered out of service, it wil have to be recruited to the standard, or else a special session will have to be calle to make the late volunteers members a the present National Guard. Admiral Dewey is now on the way from Ceylon to Port Said, his exit from the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean. He was last heard from at Colombo, Island of Ceylon, India, from which port be gailed on June 29. Since then it has been stated that he may, after leaving Port Said, sail to Trieste, on the Adriatic. His Original in- tention was to reach the United States some time in October. YOSEMITE AT SINGAPORE. She Has on Board the Military Gov- ernor of Guam.

President Loubet, He Says, Is Nearer Our Ideas of Republican Than Any of His Prede cessors, Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 8—Speaking of the French political crisis and the efforts to frighten President Loubet, aided by the titled husband of Anna Gould, Senator Depew, who returned from Europe to-day, said: “That attack on the President at the Sun- day race meeting was the best thing that could have happened for the Government. It made ridiculous a formidable movement which was rapidly crystalizing. Revolutions cannot survive ridicule.’’ Of President Loubet he said: ‘‘He is near- er being a republican, according to our ideas, than any of his predecessors, For persons who may not be familiar with French politics of to-day I can explain the Cabinet which President Loubet has called to his aid by supposing our own institu- tions in peril, and, that, as a supreme ef- fort, President McKinley should make up this Cabinet: “Secretary of State, Thomas B.

I do not see how I can permit their action to pass without challenge. It establishes too many prece- dents which will do evil to the honor and integrity of the profession that so far has given me countenance and profit.” GOOD MAY RESULT. Hague Propositions Not Altogether in Favor in This Country. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, July 8.—Generally speak- ing the convention of arbitration drafted at The Hague is regarded as a step in the right direction, but at the State Depart- ment it is regarded as weighted most too much with detail, so that it may not be adequately applied to all cases with the best results. It is thought there that the commission- ers should not be hampered by too much red tape, but be given Iiberai discretionary power. On the whole, it is believed that some good may result from The Hague Congress. NO CHANGE OF PLAN. The Fall of the Bastile Will Be Cele. brated in Paris.

NOVEL MEANS TO THWART SWEETHEARTS IN TEXAS. Interesting Story of the Elopement of a Priest’s Son With the Daughter of a Wealthy Lumber Merchant. Special to the Post-Dispatch. FORT WORTH, Tex., July 8.—One of the most extraordinary occurrences transpired here Thursday night late, and the means employed.to thwart a marriage were novel, but expensive. Two special trains were chartered, one by the father and the other by the brother of the bride, which speeded here from Weatherford, 32 miles, but ar- rived after the wedding ceremony had been performed. The parties to this sensational episode were James M. Brannon and Miss Edith Bowie of Weatherford, who have been sweethearts for years. The parties who made such heroic efforts to reach here on the two specials in order to intercept the elopers were Capt. G. ° Bowie and his son, Henry. The family ob- jected to the marriage of Miss Bowie to young Brannon, on the grounds that he was a Catholic, and it is said this was the only ground of the objection, as Brannon Was an exemplary young man and well to do financially. Brannon with his eweetheart came through to Fort Worth tn a buggy, making the distance in about three hours. On reach- ing here they were assisted in their endeav- ors by a mutual friend, who drove them to a justice of the peace and the matrimonial knot wae soon tied, and afterwards they re- paired to the Fort Worth Hotel. The father of the girl was soon on their trail, but getting wind of his presence in the city, the newly married couple were spirited away to a private boarding house, where they safely eluded the frate father and brother, who returned to Weatherford on their two special trains, outwitted by two loving hearts. The young people experienced a similar trouble last Christmas, when they went to Dallas, expecting to get married, but the father of the young woman followed and intercepted his daughter before the mar- riage could be performed. Mr. Bowle picked up his daughter, carried. her to a carriage and was driven to a westbound Texas & Pacific train and returned to Weatherford. Both families are among the best and wealthiest people of Weatherford, and the episode has occasioned quite a sensation. The bride is the daughter of the well- known lumber merchant, Capt. G. M. Bowle of Weatherford, and the groom is the son of Father Brannon of the same place. His father having become a priest after the demise of young Brannon’s mother. LEGS BROKEN NINE TIMES Missouri Farmer Establishes a New and Unique Record Under Pain- ful Circumstances. Special to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, Mo., July 8.—Gip Smith of Fayette, 20 miles west of here, has broken his leg again and in doing so has perhaps broken a record. His legs have been broken nine times in different places and under various circumstances, the left leg six times and the right leg three times. He was playing croquet recently and paused to rest near a doorsteap. One foot rested on the step and the other on the ground. His lower foot slipped and the leg, resting on the atep. was broken between the knee and thigh. His legs are perfectly sound and all his mishaps were purely accidental. VIOLET 1S VALUABLE IN) WAR Glasses, It Is Claimed, Will Be Colored for Americans So That Smokeless Powder May Be Seen. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NBPW YORK, July 8.—American soldiers in the very near future will go into ac- tion armed with violet glasses, violet gog- gles, violet spectacles and violet telescopes. These they will use to detect the flashes of flame from rifles loaded with smokeless powder. The new tactics are to be tried for the first time in the comin fall campaign against the Filipinos. Col. Charles Smart, Assistant Surgeon General of the army, is the discoverer of this newest, most awful ‘form of fighting. He has learned that vio- let glass dissipates or eliminates all of the colors surrounding the powder flash and > aa principally the color of the flame itself.

One of Princeton's leading professors said to the Post-Dispatch corre- spondent to-night. “It is true that a chair of politics will be established next fall, but the selection of the first incumbent has not been decided upon.

Every man who so voted in the Senate may have the satisfaction of knowing that he has done all that he could to bring discredit on th flag and disgrace upon our arms. It is all the more to the credit of the Administra- tion that it has steadfastly pursued the path of national honor and steadfastiy up- held the interests and the good name of the nation as a whole, in spite of the way it has been hampered by those who sought to betray the nation. We have a right to demand the support of every true American for the Administration’s policy in the Phil- ippines and every Ameriéan who is far- sighted and patriotic should join in de- nouncing alike the men who strive to give! aid and comfort to the foes not only of America, but of civilization, in the Philip-| pines, and also those other men who would prevent our armies being made equal to the national need.’’ During the evening Secretary Hay, Attor .ney-General Griggs and Adjutant-General Corbin joined the party at the White House. They remained with the President and Gov. Roosevelt until 11 o’clock. After they went away the President and his guest contin- ved their talk until midnight. It was stated that they had gone over the situation in the Philippines in all its aspects, not only taking up the question from a military point of view, but also con- sidering its diplomatic and legal bearings. The President evinced a determination to adhere to his plan of sending only experi- enced and capable officers to the Pacific islands, without regard to political influ- ence or personal favor. He also made it plain to those present that he meant to give the subject his own personal attention until the desired end should have been reached. SAY OTIS HAS NAPOLEONIC ART. Kerlin Press Makes Merry Over Dis- patches of the American General. BERLIN, July 8.—The press comments on the war in the Philippines and the decision of President McKinley to increase the force of American troops, are not hopeful for American success. The difficulty of the situation is regarded as confirmatory of the views expressed before the rebellion. The Vossische Ze.tung makes merry over what it calis Gen. Otls’ ‘‘Napolenic art of prepar- ing bulletins,’’ and says: “With negligence of the most obvious facts he has been reiterating for months that the resistance of the Tagals was —_ rence Laughlin of Chicago University. Other speakers were Prof. P. V. N. Myers of C.n- cinnati University, Rev. Herbert Bigelow, Rev. Hugo G. Eisenlohr, who spoke in Ger- man, and Edwin Burritt Smith of Chicago, Letters were read from Judge Rufus B. Smith, Rabbi Philipson, Bishop Boyd Vin- cent, Louis F. Post, editor Chicago Inde- pendent, and others, expressing approval of the object of the meeting and protesting against the war in the Philippines. Reso- lutions were adopted denouncing the war as unholy and demanding its continuance. All the speeches agreed in the assumption that the purpose of the war was either sub- jugation or annexation. They also main- tained that if the same terms were offered the Fillpinos as the Cubans the war would not last another day. TWO SKELETON REGIMENTS. Gen. Otis Says They Will Be Formed of Volunteers.

The can- non is now to be mounted at-one of the most prominent points in this city, so that anv one coming to Athens will be able to view the relic. The double-barreled cannon was invented by Mr. Joseph Gilleland and was cast at the Athens foundry. It was the pet weapon, the pride and hope of an organization com- posed entirely of patriarchs, whose object in getting together was to defend the homes of Athens from the Northern invader, and who had such confidence in that they gave themselves the pretentious title of the ‘‘Mitchell Thunderbolts.” _ The Mitchell Thunderbolts conceived a diabolical plan for.wiping out Federal troops by whole companies and regiments. double-barreled cannon was to do it.

INDEPENDENCE, Kan,, July 8—In 4 little graveyard at Prior Creek, in the In- dian Territory, south of here, there was laid to rest a few days ago Heck Bruner, known here as the braest man that a des- perado ever had to meet. The 10 years of Bruner’s deputy marshalship in th's region have cleared the country of a troop of law- breakers. The 13 distinct notches on the pearl handle of his revolver indicate, with fa significance which the desperado is quick to appreciate, the exact number of mis- creants who fell by the deputy marshal’s own hand. Now that Bruner is dead, his superstitious friends are pointing to that unfortunate ‘13’’ as the cause of his death. For it is plain that until he scored the l3th notch Bruner was an extraordinarily lucky man. The brave Marshal was drowned while at- tempting to swim the Grand River. He was on the track of a criminal and was following close on his trail. The river was swollen from heavy rains. The daring man did not hesitate a minute, but plunged in.

WASHINGTON, July 8.-—In St. Eliza- beth’s Hospital for the Insane, across the river from Washington, are 160 United States soldiers and sailors gathered from Havana, Porto Rico, Santiago and Manila. These men are in the prime of their man- hood, yet worse than dead. On nearly every ship bringing troops home from the South and far East come the piti- ful few with minds distraugh in cha of oomnrates or nurses. a e number in ‘St. Elizabeth’s is about equally div.ded between sailors, with their white linen blouses and blue flannels, and soidiers, with the lighter blue and brown Canvas sults. A look at them shows that it was indeed the flower of our country that took up arms in answer to her cali for help to set Cuba free. They are fine, big fellows, Strong and handsome, with hardly an in- ferior specimen among them.

It is plain that it is neither the tramp nor the roust- about whom the rigors of army and navy life have sent to the Hospital for the In- sane. Nearly all the cases are acute. mania and acute dementia. There are a few cases of paresis, but none of melancholia. Some of the causes to which this insanity are due are the sudden changes of climate. the intense heat to which the soldiers were exposed in the trenches, on the blis- tering hot decks of ships or in the gun- rooms, the unusual hardships and the ex- citement and strain.

HONG KONG, May 30.—For ten days now Admiral Dewey has been in charge of Dr. Peak, who is always spoken of as the ablest physician in the colony. Hong Kong is not on the mainland, as half of the peo- ple of the world think, but on an island, a small and rocky island at that. A tramway runs to the summit of the highest hill, whic. is known as “Dr. Peak.”’ There is a mist or breeze blowing on the peak though not a breath of air is stir- i.4i6 GL Lite Dase of the nlil, where in sum- mer the heat and humidity are about 20 per cent worse than St. Louis at its worst.

The Admiral was offered the hospitality of Government House and of other places; the colony was his for. saying ‘‘yes.”’ Only two rooms, about the s!ze of those in the average summer hotel at home, were vacant in the Peak Hotel.

" pe wens Jen San Bee My Berea Lat SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JULY 9, 1899 PAN NO, 2399 FOR 90 YEARS Who is the Missouri Convict Known as Bill Jennings. IS HE THE NOTED BILL RYAN? IF HE IS NOT RYAN WHAT IS HIS HISTORY?P Speculation Concerning the Train Rob- ber’s Identity Heightened by Facts Ooming Out Since His Conviction. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 8.—He ig now plain No. 239. All the speculation abouts the identity of the Macomb train robber, who said his name was Jennings, but who has been identified as Bill Ryan of the old James gang; Harry Glenn, burglar, ex: convict and once a famous basebail player, ends in the figures 2399 that are entered opposite the name of Jennings in the Mis- sour! Penitentiary books. If Jennings chooses to change hig name while in prison, be has plenty .of time to think it over. He has 20 years to serve. But the question arises if Jennings is not Ryan where is Ryan now. It was thought that the matter of Jennings’ identity would be settled Thursday when four Macomb train robbers entered prison. So far as Capt. Jesse B. Toler, deputy warden, is concerned, the matter was get- tled. He knew Ryan well when he was l the penitentiary there and he says posi- tively that Jennings is not Ryan. bPvery- body egreed to leave it to Toler and looked forward to his decision with great interest. Wow that the decision has been rendered, these who were at first positive that Jens mings was Ryan atill thho.d to their beilet, @o that authority ls now on both sides oe the question. The whole discussion started shortly after Jennings and Shepard were arrested togeth- er at the house of Lewis Nigh. They were used of the Macomb train robbery, and igh, in a confessional moment, said that ennings was the famous Sill Ryan. There it started, and detectives began hurriedly come for a look at the bandit. Waliace we of Kansas City, who knew RKyan well 20 years ago, saw Jennings and said @ wes surely Ryan. Whig Keshlear, who ought Ryan, under arrest, from Tennes- see some W® years ago, talked with Jen- nings and declares he was his former pris- oner, If Jennings was not Ryan he knew @ great deal about Ryan's business. He told Keshiear little incidents that happened n their trip from Tennessee and Keshiear ecame positive of his identity. George Bryant, the veteran detective, said Jen- hings was the man he had known years o as Bill Ryan. There seemed no doubt of his identity, for Jennings wrote a letter to Andy Ryan in Bryant's presence and Bryant delivered it to Andy here. Of ourse Andy repudiated the letter. He said bis brother Bill was dead. He hadn't heard rom him in years. When it came to Jennings’ trial the Btate’s attorneys used some means to ve that Jenninge was Ryan. That they id net eucec*4d is shown by the fact tnat such proofs were offered in the trial. In tre meantime Jennings’ - description was éent to penitentiaries all over the iand and goon came a .photograph from Stillwater egg | with the name “Harry Glenn, Cersier.” ut the picture was that of Jen- nings; he could not deny it. He served three ears in Stillwater. The picture resembled ill Ryan, said some, and showed quite a brotherly likeness to Andy Ryan @f Kansas City. Burely it was Bill Ryan and no ms- ake. Then came word from Salem, Ore. man answering Jennings’ description had served 16 years in the penitentiary there nder the name of Murphy. +e ac- nowledged that he had served in Salem. ow then could he be Ryan if Ryan was n the Jefferson City nitentiary at the game time? Then the doubters came for- ward. All the while Jennings would say he was Ryan and then he was not. Kennedy @galid: ‘Go ahead and call him Ryan, He likes it. But he isn’t Ryan.”’ when Jennings stepped off the train at Jefferson City a man asked him: “Are you or are you not Bill Ryan ?Let's gettie that @uestion before you go to Prison.” “Well.” anewered Jennings, “I'm not Bill Ryan. I never said I was. That's only gome of your detectives’ smart work. I'm only a poor unfortunate man on his way to prieon.”’ Then they took him to prison and Ca t. Toler saw him. “Tt7e looks no more | ke Bill Ryan,” said e Captain, “than you or I. He’s not E an, that’s all.” ere tla the description of Bill Ryan, taken when he was dressed into the nenitentiary tb at Jefferson City Oct. 16, 1881, and that § William Jennings taken yesterday at the @ame place: enone. ~ . : Rarber Height 6 feet ®\% inches Length of foot. ..26.4 millimeters Color of hair....Red with gray Color of eyes Dark orange Complexion 2h TS Sandy pound Weight 145 pounds ft eyebrow, chin... .Soars 10 scars on arms and head Now there Is a new theory.

Depew’s Heart Made Glad by the Author’s Good Fortune. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 8—Chauncey M. De- | pew has returned from Europe. He grew eloquent when talking to a Post-iDspatch reporter about Mark Twain. “Ah, dear Mark Twain!" exclaimed the ‘Senator, in sudden interest. “I am glad the Post-Dispatch gives me an opportunity to say something about him. I was at a reception in his honor and it was a con- stant joy to me to look at the dear man ahd hear him epeak. I had not seen him since a former dinner in London, given to him by Sir Henry Irving, John Hare and some others. Then he was looking wretch- ed. He was in lli-health, in debt and dis- couraged. No; not discouraged, for he scorned the scheme suggested to him of some sort of international benefit. Well. since then he has earned the money to y ail his debts and a snug fortune besides. and has beer. complete.y restored to heal h. When I saw him a couple of weeks ago he was. looking 15 years younger than upon ne “? previous occasion—was robust, joiuly, witty—the same old, keen, delight- ful Mark Twain of ® years ago. ? “I tell you, it did my American heart good to see the constant, marked and delightfu. jattention ail literary London is paying to Mr. Clemene."’ “He is as much a lion as Rudyard Kip- lin, , then, In London?’ ore, more; much more,” exclaimed the Senator. Then he paused, and after a bit said with prstended great cautiousness: Mr. —e is more of a lion in ica than England.” aes! a wD ee = at PLAN STAVE USED, _> COLORADO # £=PRISON WARDEN SPANKS IN OLD STYLE. VICTIMS BEND OVER A TABLE. They Are Then Given a Fatherly Talk, Good Food and Peace Where Disorder Was. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DENVER, Colo., July 8.—Warden Hoyt of the Canyon City: Penitentiary does not use a “spanking machine’’ tn disciplining prisoners, as widely reported, but a plain barrel stave, the victim being turned down over a table during the period of pun‘sh- ment. This style of punishment had been used by ‘Mr. Hoyt for several months before he made a report to the State authorities. It was so sucessful that the system was in- troduced into the other State institutions. It has vastly improved the discipline in all of them. From the earliest criminal history of the State there has been a combined. outcry aga.nst cruelties and alleged outrages com- mitted on obstreperous prisoners. Before Warden Hoyt’s time the favorite punish- ment among wardens and superintendents of institutions was starvation and the dun- geon, var.ed by tying up by the thumbs for men and boys and de!luging with cold water for women and girls. In every in- stitution there were found several prison- ers with whom these harsh methods of punishment had to be practiced contin- ually. Not the slightest improvement was noticeable. A man would come out of the dungeon famished, ill, and very sulky. The great pain of the thumbscrews only made stubborn prisoners more like animals in their desire for revenge. Bad tempered women would go through the cold water treatment and afterwards be more like devils than before. Warden Hoyi’s study of the subject showed ‘him that obstreperous prisoners shou!d be treated like children at home. A weli-fed boy who commits an offense is flogged by his father, who then talks to him in a repentant frame of miad. FE:ovt deter- mined to try the same treatment on his wards. He argued that a convict was a man. who had lost most of his self-respect. If this could be regained punishment wceuld have vastly greater effect His method is to send a subject for prun- ishment to his offize at once, where he is given a lecture, the intent Leing to make him ashamed of himself, as assistan! ts called in, and the manvcr woman tied acrosg a narrow tabe with hands and feet piii- ioned to the floor. A double barre! stave, which makes lots of nose, is then used in a liveiy fashion by .ihe assistant The prisoner at the next mealtime is {solated from the o‘her prisoners and given to eat the best that the insti*t ition affords, and al] he can eat. He is admonished that for the sake of the institutina and the feelings of those in con‘rol, as well as for his own self- respect, the offense be not repeated. The noise of the barre’-Stave tattoo eas- ily reached the other prisoners, but this was all that was ever known about it, A strict injunction is given the guards not to mention the culprit to the other pris- oners. The warden’s idea is to make a serious matter of it.

One Boy Had Never Had a Bath and None Had Ever Worn a Shoe. SIOUX FALLS, 8S. D., July 8sl—Lena Bouts, the 15-year-old girl who in thé latter part of May shot and killed her | brutal father, Frank Bouts, at their miserable home in Pennington County, has been placed in the Sioux Falls Children’s |Home, together with her four brothers and two sisters. The children are aged respdctively 3, 5, 8, 11, 13 and 15, and for the firgt time are now enjoying civilized life. Lena was assisted in committing the crime by her ll-year-old brother, Nicholas. The weapon used was the father's rifle. The boy cocked the weapon, as he had seen his father do, and while he steafiied it Lena fired it from a rear window jat her father, killing him, The Bouts. home was only a short dis- tance from the Wyoming lLne. The facts concerning the home life of this famiuy show them to have lived more like barbarians than civilized beings, and it is perhaps not strange that all semblance of parental affection should have been effectually crushed in the hearts of the children. Their home was a log house of twojrooms, destitute of a floor. In one corner| was a spring, the water from which Kept the ground in-the interior soft and mud@y toa depth of six inches or more, one pr two pianks serving as the means of walking across the room without the necespity or stepping into the mud. Such clothing as the children possessed was crudely manufactured out of old gunny sacks and the like, being barely suffi¢ient to cover their nakedness. The principal diet of the family cons.sted of johnny cake, varied occasionally with potatoes, ¢orn in season, etc. Bouts’ employment was the cutting of tiles for the mines in the vicinity, and in this work he compelled his wife and chil- dren, excpet the three younger ones, to assist. The children say their sister Ida could hew ties as good as any man. All last winter they were compelled to} assist their father at this work, notwithstanding the condition of the weather, he exacting as much hard labor from them ae though they were robust men like himself. He frequently struck and kicked his wife and children, even the babe in arms not escaping his brutality. Some of the chil- dren yet carry upon their bodies the|marks of his crue] blows. Bouts was arrested sev- eral. times and taken to the justic@ court for maltreating his family, but this seemed to do no good, The surprise of the children since leaving home, at the various evidences of civiiiza- tion, show the barrenness of the life they led in the humble Pennington County home. For instance, upon being given a freshly washed and ironed white skirt, one of the girls exclaimed: ‘Isn't it clean and nice; what makes it that way?’ They said their mother had no guch-things as flat-irons. None of the children had ever worn) ghoes, The smaller ones were delighted at: the novelty of having their feet thus covered, but the older ones were not overly pleased with the innovation, and it will ta time to accustom them to them. Pies were a decided novelty. One girls said that they never had eat, but that her mother ‘used ¢ taters.”’ They were well posted on the various varieties of the few articles of diet to which they were accustomed. ‘‘Yellow-faced fiint corn,” said one of the giris, ‘“‘is the best and you can get a kettleful for a nickel.’’ This the family used to eat right out of the kettle. Some of the children appear to have some of a longing for the food to wtich they became accustomed, but this longing does not cause them to complain of the wholesome food now given them. The iong- ing is on the principle of the boy who looks upon quail on toast as the acme of all edibles. he Bouts ch.ldren relish treir new food, of course, but until they become accustomed to the change cannot stifle their longing for ‘‘Johnny cake, made thin and hard, and the corn and taters’’ of the old days. ?

ALL LONDON WAS. THERE. Worth Only $200, Instead of $500, as Expected. Special Cable to the Post-Dispateh. Copyright, 1880, by Prese Publishing Oompany. LONDON, July 8.—Mrs. J. B. Robinson's ball has been generally voted the most noteworthy entertainment of the season. Mr. Robinson is a Gouth African multi- millionaire, who bought Dudley House in Park Lane a few years ago for an extrav- agant sum in order to get into society. He secured the good offices of Lady Alger- non Lennox, who is a sister of the Duchess of Gutherland and the Countess of War- wick, and married to a younger son of the Duke of Richmond. Lady Algy is a great personage socially—clever, energet- ‘c and reputed to be the best dressed wom- an in London, At Monday night’s ball at Dudley House not a tithe of the guests, who comprised the very best people, knew their host or hostess even by appearance, and Lady Algy gracefully performed the office of in- troducing them to Mr. and Mrs. Robin- son. Everything in the way of flowers, music and supper was done on the most lav‘sh scale under Lady ‘Algy’s talented direction. but the great attraction was the valuabie presents given away ia the cotillion. It had been rumored that these were to be altogether exceptionally costly, gn intima- tion that made smart society scramble for invitations. Their value was, however, eX- aggerated, and it is easy to sympath-ze with the justifiable disappointment of beau- t'ful women of title who got trinkets worth $900, when they expected ones worth $500. So the Robinsons were little thanked for their generosity. As an example of what so-called fashionable society is, and what it will do, the Robinsons’ ball could not be excelled. TO IMPROVE THE BARRACKS. Congressman Joy Predicts an Appro- priation of $75,000. A special telegram to the Post-Dispatch from Washington last night says that Con- gressman Joy had a conference yesterday with the Secretary of War and Quartermas- ter-General Ludington, and strongly urged extensive improvements for Jefferson Bar- racks. The matter is expected to be set- tled Monday. Mr. Joy is confident that at least $7%%,- 000) will be allowed for the Barracks, wh.c will be enough to carry out all the more important work needed at present. There has been opposition to a@ large expenditure in the Quartermaster-General's office, but Mr. Joy believes this has been, partially, at least, overcome by his expianation, and he hopes for favorable action.

Speaking of the trust reposed fn Lincoln by the people, a writer in McClure’s Magazine says: “The great reason for this confidence was that the people understood exactly what he was trying to do and why he was trying to do it. From the beginning of his Administration, in fact, Lincoln had taken the people into his confidence.” In this frank dealing with the people Mr. Lincoln conformed to the theory of democratic government. The people being sovereign and the President only their servant, he recognized that they had the right to full information with regard to the purposes of the Government. He did not believe that the pedple could be fooled, or that any good could come from fooling them, or that any public servant had a right to at- tempt to fool them. But Mr. Lincoln’s frankness signified something more than mere conformity to duty as a public officer. It was founded on integrity of purpose. He had nothing to conceal. His purposes were pure and lofty. He wanted to serve the people. What a contrast with the methods of indirection and con- cealment now prevailing in Washington! A censorship to keep the soldiers who are fighting a people struggling for freedom from knowing the sentiments of the home people, and to keep the home people from knowing the truth about the war! Juggling with facts and befoolment as to governmental pur- poses! Into what debasement have imperialism and subservi- ence to syndicate greed led us!

It is gratifying to note that the Peace Conference at The Hague is still working on a scheme of arbitration. A week - hes been given the delegates to receive final instructions with regard to the signing of a convention for the pacific settlement ef international dieputes. Disarmament may fail, but any step toward arbitration will be a step in the direction of disarmament, because it will tend to remove the cause of heavy armaments. With the principle of arbitration established and a modg devised the chances of war will be greatly lessened, and nations will not feel compelied to keep armed to the teeth. The application of the principle wil) increase and the mode will be perfected. It is difficult to see upon what rational] ground any civilized mination can refuse to assent to the principle, or to try some reasonable mode of applying it. Any nation declining to ap- prove a step toward arbitration will practically admit that its Purposes are warlike and that it is not in harmony with hu- mane i i The trosts are rich enough to own a Senator from every ‘ate.

This is in striking contrast with the same six months of 1898, during which 27 roads failed. And the figures show that since that year the number of railroad failures has steadily decreased. In the entire year 1898 there were but 18 failures, covering 2069 miles, with a oanital of $138,000,000 In round numbers, while 1893 had 74 failures, covering 29,340 miles, with a capitalization of nearly two billions. It would be interesting to discover just how mufph water has been squeezed out of railroad stocks in the extensive re- organization that has gone on since 1893.

If we can gain in these parts a good deal of what we may lose by variations in our European markets we may hope for continued prosperity. The measure of M.

In reading your article in Sunday’s paper about the St. Louls crematory I was im- pressed with the idea that an opportunity exists for the management of that institu» tion to exhibit real charity and at the same time soothe many burdened and sorrow- ing hearts. The article speaks of the custom of “breaking the caskets in pieces after the incineration of the bodies and using them as firewood.’’ I have no doubt but that a request from the Provident Association to the crematory officials would be the means of obtaining these caskets for the use of worthy people who, by reason of their pov- erty, are unable to purchase them for their departed friends. Such an act would bring comfort at a time when kindness is doubly appreciated, and would be a mark of re- spect worthy both the living and the dead. I trust this suggestion may meet your approval, and through your columns be brought to the attention of the Provident Association or some kindred organization having for its object the uplifting of those less fortunate than their fellow-men.

The lay world is generally quite ignorant of why this is done. It is because (explains Mr. Dens- more, M. D.) toasting bread till is becomes brown largely converts the starch into dex- trine: and hence, so far as the brown por- tion is concerned. one of the processes of digestion is gone through before the bread is taken into the stomach. It will be found that the thinner the slices of bread, and the more thoroughly they are toasted, the easier digestion will be, and when all por- tions of the slice of bread are thoroughly toasted—not burned, but still changed to a deep brown color—it will be found to be oo eats easily digested than ordinary oast. _— ~~. The Married Man’s Burden. From the New York World. The Diet of Hesse, in Germany, has come to the rescue of the German hausvater, or paterfamilias. by a generous extension of its tax:ng power. It has voted that here- after the bachelor shall pay an income tax greater by 2 per cent than the income tax of the married man. The justice of this distinction will not be questioned by any one who knows how great is the burden of matrimony. As every married man knows this and no bachelor knows it, we infer that the Diet of Hesse is made up of married men. Automobile and Cabriolet.

Does Zola_come within mer definition? Was Gen.

In the third chapter of the first volume of 'the ‘“‘“Memoirs” this is what Gen, Grant said of the Mexican War: At the end of 20 days I _ for duty to Lieut. Bwell, commanding at Jefferson Barracks, banding bim at the same time my leave of ab- sence. * * * This was the same Ewell who ac- quired considerable reputation as a Confederate general during the rebeliion. He was a man much esteemed and deservedly so, in the old army, and| roved himself a gallant and efficient officer in) wo ware. Both in my estimation anholy. There was no intimation given that the removal of the Third and Fourth Regiments of Infantry to the Western border of Loulsiana was occasioned in any way by the prospective annexation of Texas, but such was generally understood to be the case. ¢ * * Generally the officers of the army were in- different whether the annexation was consum- mated or not, but:not so with all of them. For niyself, I was bitterly opposed to the measure, and to this day regard the war, which resulted as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation. It was an instance of a Republic following the bad example of European monarchies, in not con- sidering justice in their desire to acquire additional territory. The occupation, separation and annexation - (of Texas) were, from the inception of the movement to ite final consummation, a conspiracy to acquire territory out of which elave States might bd formed for the American Union. Even if the an- nexation itself could be justified, the manner in which the subsequent war was forced upon Mexico cannot. The fact is, annexationists wanted more territory than they could pea lay any claim to, as a part of the new acquisition. * * * The Southern rebellion was largely the outgrowth of the Mexican war. Nations, like individuals, are punished for their. transgressions. We got our punishment in the most sanguinary and expensive war of modern times, In chapter nine he says: The Mexican war was a political war, and the administration conducting it desired to make ak | capital out of it. * * * The administration had, indeed, a most difficult problem to solve. It was engaged with a war of conquest which must be carried to a successful issue, or the political ob- ject would be unattained. How history hhas repeated Itself in the present war! In what terms of execration will the future historian fittingly charact- erize it. The Mexican war was In the in- terests of the slave oligarchy; the present war is In the interest of commercial!sm and the trust oligarchy. In the language of Grant both are unholy. In the case of Texas, the brutal but popular cry at the time of the ‘Mexican was was, ““The tools belong to him who can use them.” In the present war we are acting upon no better principle than that might makes right. Such questions as our plighted faith made to the Filipinos by Government of- ficlals or considerations of justice are not permitted to enter Into the equation. In the very language of the Declaration of Independence Congress, by a fésolution. solemnly affirmed ‘that the Cubans are, and of right ought to be, free and independ- ent.” Such an act presupposes a fitness for self-government. Admiral Dewey, in June, 1898, amd again on August 29 fol- lowing, assured our Government that the Filipinos were capable of § self-govern- ment, He says in a dispatch, forwarded to the Navy Denvartment, a gehort time after taking Cavite: These people are far superior in their intelll- gence and more capable of self-government than the natives of Cuba, and I am familiar with both races, To say that they are not fit for self- government is not only to stultify the ac- tion of Congress and its utterances in its declaration of war with Spain, but it Is an admission that the cause for which we made that war was false, GPORGD A. HOAGLAND. “Just Like Stephens,” From the Elsberry (Mo.) News. ‘Stephens uses his influence to keep the State fair from be‘ng located at exico because Hon. Sam Cook lives there. Steph- ens likes not Mr. Cook, which ts highly to Mr. Cook’s credit, but as Cook cannot be reached by Stephens and made to suffer by his spite, Stephens sacrifices to what ex- tent he may the town wherein he lives. That’s just like Stephens. Such narrow meanness might make us laugh, were it not that by virtue of his position he is en- abled to inject his littleness into matters that should be dealt with in fashion fair and manly. The Governor and His Friends. From the Glasgow Missourian. It is reported that Gov, Stephens has de- termined to drop Hugh Brady. We doubt the truth of the rumor, since it is well known that the Governor never goes back on his friends. This shining virtue of the Governor was abundantly shown in the case of Dr. Coombs. Brady has done more than anyone else, perhaps, to cast discredit upon the Democratic party in Missouri, and the Coombs case has given the party another. black eye, but all this is as noth- ing to Lonnie, who imagines he is bigger than his party. No Politics in It. From the Clinton (Mo.) Republican. There is no politics in the denunciation i | of Gov. Stephens by the press of Missouri because of his signing the street railway trust bill.

From the Madison (Mo.) Times. Gov. Stephens, with a recklessness born of desperation, has refered to Hon. Sam B. Cook in a letter to Col.

A Great Task. From the 8t. Joseph (Mo.) News. The task of defending his many mistakes has become too great a one for the Steph- ens organs of the State and the Governor is forced to fight his own battles these days. Gov. Stephens is becoming so un- popular in his own party that it Is pre- dicted he will cut little figure in the great councils of the coming year. Opposition to Stephens, From the Montgomery County (M0O.) Leader, Gov. Stephens desires to be a delegate to the next national convention. It is custo- mary to elect the Governor as one of the delegates, but in the next election much op- pe~ajon will be brought against Mr. Ste- phéns. Neither Wants Him, From the St. Joseph (Mo.)

AMERICAN COMBINES THAT AND SEED INDUSTRY. PROMOTER IS J. R. BARTLETT. In Five Months He Has Incorporated GO Per Cent of the Manufac- tories in One Company. LONDON, July 8—The compléte success of John R. Bartlett's campaign in the En- glish oi] and seed trade is assured. When he came to England five months ago the Managers of the linseed and cotton seed crushing mills and refineries were compet- ing sharply with one another and adopting no methods of self-preservation. He has drawn @ per cent of the great trade into an amalgamated company. Hig plan of operations has been adopted by a majority of the trade, including all the strongest companies and firms, He has made con- tracts with 17 corporations and firms and has bought 28 mills and 12 oil refineries, with plant, business and good will. The British Oil and Cake Mills (Limited) has been organized to carry into effect these agreements made by him and his brokers and conduct the business for the common advantage of the majority of the trade. The share capital and debenture stock of the consolidated company is 2,250,- 000 pounds, but 800,000 poun sterling {s reserved for future development of the business. The first issue, amounting te 1,050,000 pounds, will be offered to the pub- lic next week and 1,460,000 pounds has al- ready been underwritten and the remainder wiil probably be covered in a few days. The British Ol] and Cake Mills (Limited) is an exact reproduction of gimilar amale amations in America, with the -7y dif. erence in detail that the stock note watered. There has been no over capitalie zation, the good will of each business have ing been bought on a hard cash basis of actual y The on ,_ Live erpool, Glasgow, Gloucester and other cene ters of the oi] seed industry have sold out their business and property to the consoil- dated company, of which Hugh Colinsmith and the chief managers of the mills and re- fineries are the directors. The business will be managed for the common benefit by the combined pra*tical knowledge of the directors. Mr. Bai, ett w.ll probabil vice-chairman of the new company. Wantage and Reginald Abelsmiih are trus- tees for the debenture stockholders. While allowing Mr. Bartlett to carry out his own plan without modification, che British trade is acting entirely for itsel and independently of any American trade amalgamation. There . as yet no ooncerted action between the trades of the two coun- tries nor any attempt to regulate prices by an international trust or combination, Some basis of common action may be are ranged in the future. MR. GRIGGS MAKES DEFENSE. He Really Has Begun a Suit Against an Alleged Trust. Special to the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, July 8—In answer té William J, Bryan's etatement that the Attorney-General hag power to proceed against trusts under the Sherman law, it was said at the Department of Justice to-day that the Gaperteeses had already proceeded against the Addyston Pipe Co, of Ohio, and is awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court. It was asserted that if the opinion is against the company other sults will be instituted where the operations of the trusts is an interstate proposition, but that where the operations are confined to one State the matter is not within the juritediction of the Federal authorities. As the Supreme Court does not meet until. October no de- cision will be handed down in the Addiston case till then. COME 2000 A DAY. Large Crowds Attend the Meetings of Educators in California.

CHICAGO, July 8—Charles B. Browne has filed a petition in the Federal Court yesterday to be purged of debts amounting to $1,636,078. Against this enormous in- debtedness the petitioner places $5 in cash and “other property” valued at $65—credits that are too insignificant to be considered by the court. Most men would not have scheduled property under the circumstances, but “Charlie’’ Browne is different from most men. He has a keen perception of what is right, and though his ‘“‘other prop- erty” consists of three piainly furn.shed rooms in his bachelor apartments at 5445 Drexel avenue he is willing that his credi- tors may have it if they want it. For years he paid interest on a miilion or more dollars that he knew he never could pay and which was given him for his own support. While his relatives thought ‘‘Char- lie’’ Browne was cutting a big swath in Chi- cago .as a gentieman of means and artistic inciinations he was paying it out to his creditors and living in a simply furnished flat on the South Side and eating at moder- ate-priced restaurants.

Shackelford of Boonville. Col. McCul- loch is a picturesque old soldier. He was born in Aibemarle County, Va., Nov. 23, 1820, and moved to Cooper County, Mo., with his father some years afterwards.

It was a blow to Browne, wil had been promised his uncle's fortune, but he took the misfortune phi- losophically and sa‘d his uncle did right. His uncle had been kind to him, for the petition filed yesterday shows a debt to his uncle’s estate of $185,000. Browne is 49 years o!d. He was born tn Henry County, 111, and at 10 years of age he went to live with his childless uncle at Syracuse. At 2 he returned to I[liinois and became private secretary to B. N. Stevens of Bureau County. In he took an interest in the floral busiress of W. B. Farrell of Chicago. He boasts that he had the finest floral store in the world at the corner of Dearborn and Madl- son streets. The fire burned out the gtore and Browne went back to the Henry Courty farm and pursued his floricultural studies and experiments. In a few years he became one of the most noted floriculturists and landscape garden- ers in the country. In 1876 he was the American member of the Horticultural and Floral Commission of the centennial, and for his work in that particular he was made a member of the Royal Society of Great Britain. In 1880 he went to Denver with $30,000 he had earned and laid out the gardens for Brick Pomeroy’s palace near Denver.

He waves his f.) lash of govern- ment over the head of every woman who elects him to rule her life. No woman can choose the happiness and honor of wifehood and motherhood without being subject also to its pains and penalties. But no woman ought to suffer as most do from those ailments and weaknesses which are due to her peculiarly delicate and susceptible organism. Every woman ought to know that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure these unnatural and debilitating troubles, It cures them absolutely, completely, permanently. It contains no alcohol to create a craving for stimulants. “It is with heart-felt gratitude that I must tell you what your medicine has done for me," writes Mrs. A. F. Crenshaw, of Panasoffkee, Sumter Co., Fla.. in a letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, N.Y. “After consulting you about my case I took your medicine and it cured me of female weakness.

They Have Their Own Church and Rude Courts of Justice Keep Them In Order. ATLANTA, Ga., Juiy 8—In the pine- woods section of Southern Georgia, a ooun- try of which but little is known to the outs:de world except the narrow strips ly- ing along the railway lines, is a plantation where the negroes are very much in the same condition that existed prior te the Emancipation Proclamation. The plantation is owned by D. C. Hughey and is located along a river bottom in the heart of the pine barrens, and the lands are very fertile. It is a long distance from the raiiroads, and tte nearest postoffice is miles away. Modern civilization has passed it by and the owner and his ‘‘peons’’ live there in primiiive simplicity and seclusion. The plan of cultivating the crops is mod- eled exactly after the style of the old slav- ery days, and all the able-bodied hands are required to perform their allotted share of the work. en are very ignorant, Dut docile and industrious. They have their humble log ‘meeting house,’’ where they gather on Sundays to listen to the discourses of the patriarchal ‘“‘pa'son,” who Berves them spirituaily on the Sabbath and looks after the great droves of hogs that roam the woods and swamps adjacent during the week. It is interesting sight to see them gathering on Sunday morning—the men in their coarse garments and the women tricked out in print frocks, with now and then a Dit of ribbon to brighten their modest toilets. The devotional spirit is strong in the race and after the day's services are ended and twilight deepens they assemble again for the more demonetrative part of the exer- cises. It is then that one may see by the dim light of tallow candles fixed in wooden sconces on the rought log walls the aged reacher ascend the pulpit and “‘line out’ he opening hymn. There is no mortal mel- ody equal in rythmic volume to that of a congregation of old-fashioned darkies chanting their weird songs of devotion, and the echoes ro)l away over wood and fieid and river as the voices of the singers ring _ out through the dusky shadows. | one of the drivers and a jur , set forth. / nounced. i of lashes is determined by the jury. /gome cases | Courts of law are unknown.

PHILADELPHIA, July 8—Rider Hag- abounding with adventures as that reijated by Bernard Houghton, a Californian, sec- ond mate of the Roland Cassell when the bark sailed from Beston for Valparaiso in 1890. And Jioughton told his iale convincing- ly: he aimself uneducated but forceful, Plainly believed eve: y word of it. Houghton in a sallor’s garb confronted the Twenty-eighth District Station House. ‘lhe sailorman said he had heard that Jon- aihan ‘Scullins, once mate of the Roland Cassell, was living thereabouts. The ser- eant could tell him nothing of Scullins. As oughton stood before him the sergeant saw that on the exact center of his fore- head and on the back of each hand was a red scar, flame-shaped, the color of flaime. Houghton bared his breast. Almost cover- ing it was a great scar shaped like a can- dle’s flame when the wind sways it. Houghton said that on that voyage to Valparaiso the Holand Cassell encountered a fierce storm and was driven far into the Southern Pacific. He and’ll others took to one of the boats and suffered frightfully from hunger, thirst and the intense heat. For days the boat drifted, six men, insane, jumped overboard, four died. There were two in the boat when Houghton lost his senses. He awoke on a couch in a beautiful room. In the center of the room burned a clear flame on a tripod. A brown-skinned man, dressed in a white robe, stood by the couch, On the breast of the robe was embroidered a waving red flame. The man spoke to him in a strange tongue. Women entered with food and wine. He was clad in a white robe. The flame symbol was everywhere. In a chariot drawn by four animals, l'ke large oats, whose orns were gold-tipped, {oughton was drawii to a magnilicent tem- ple; diamonds, all the gems, were as plen- tiful in architectural decoration as is terra cotta in his coun'ry. Entering the temple Houghton found himself in a vast hall filled with a dark- visaged, white-robed men, On the breast of each was the same symbol and burning red on forehead, cheeks and hands was the same sign. At the extreme end of the hall, shining in @ ry of sunligh', was an im- mense round object incrusted with dia- monds. In the center_of this immense hail rose a great flame. Houghton was stripped and made to kneel at the dancing flame. As he gazed on it he feit his s'rength leave him and he fell unconscious. Wen he awoke he was in another room of the temple. Rising he looked at his hands. On the back of each was branded the same symbol that was on the faces of the white- robed men he had seen as he entered. Rush- ing toward a‘great shield that was hanging from the wall he saw on his face and on his breast the symbol. Houghton lived six yearg with these fire worstippers. He learned their language and was Well treated, but determined to es- cape. Secretly he stocked a boat with food and water, he stole all the precious stones he could carry and set off alone in the boat. After ten days a Norwegian freighter pick- ed him up and carried him to Sweden. Houghton showed to the dazzied_ ser- geants what looked like diamonds, rubies and emeralds. He was in search for his o.d shipmate Scullins, that they might organ- ize an expedition to the island of the fire- worshippers. TEACHERS OPEN SESSIONS: They Are Crowding Into Los Angeles by the Thousands. LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 8.—Nearly 2000 delegates to the National Educational As- sociation have arived special trains are scheduled to arrive to- day bringing several thousand.

TWENTY-FOUR MEN AND WOMEN WERE DROWNED. Pitiful Story of the Wanderings of Three Survivors Washed Ashore on the Barren Coast of Queensland. VICTORIA, B. C., July & Special Correspondence’ of the Post-Dispatch. ‘ HANDFUL of sick, starved sailors, now being slowly nursed back to health. have told their rescuers the story of the destruction of a brave ship and of more than two score lives. There was small chance for any boat that sailed in to the path of the fearful hurri- cane that for weeks swept ravenousily across the South Sea and along the Queens- land coast. The waters seethed and roared and tossed, and many a good boat was hurled under them by a single blast of the pitliess wind, Two of the stoutest ships aflroat were the ~—freight ship Loch Sloy and Her Majesty’s warship Piyades. But these two now lie wrecked on reefs across the Australian Shore. Of the tight which the Loch sSloy bravely made and iost there are three sur- Vivors toa tell, Twenty-four lives were lost with the ch pioy, whose wreck was one of the most shocking disasters that have ever been known in the soulnern seas. ‘Lhe boat herself was shattered into b.ts. The ony 'men aboard her who did not perish endured such an ordeal of sulfering and starvation as has rarely been described, Women who had been huried shrieking from the masts where they clung suffered violent deaths in the water. With the superstition of all seamen, these stout-hearted british sailors dec:are that the Loch Sioy’s ruin was due to her ev:l Star. No good end, they say, coulu pefali a ship to wnom the ocean faies haa shown themselves plainiy hostile since the voy- age when she first ‘‘tound herself.’’ ‘Lwo years ago her sister ship, the Loch Maree, Sel Sail from Sydney and was never neard Of again, it was in January that the Loch Sloy suiied from Giasgow in command of Capt, Nicnol, with a crew of five apprentices, 12 able scamen, two sailmakers, a cook, u car- benier and a Loy.

The crew were sunning themselves under the jee rail, enjoying a cup of coffee after the hard work of the storm. The ship was going iike a race horse. Breakers loomed up ainidst the eudying seas. “Sout ship!" shouted the Captain, and all hands jumped for the halyards. ‘The helm was thrown hard aport, but it was too late.

Twenty minutes later the mizz . went, and the last hope of saving tne ship went with it. For the drowning men and ‘women there seemed only death ahead. The huge waves were battering the ship's fragments against the reef, and land was a mile away. ‘I seized a lifebelt,’’ said William J. Simpson, an apereneee. and one of the survivors, ‘an I remember nothing else till I found myself floating on some wreckage and the shore not far ‘Bway. I managed to cling to some _ rocks, where I found Mitchell, McMillan and | Kirkpatrick. “We picked up a case of whisky and some cans of herrings and got from them the strength to make our way to a cave on the ehore.’’ From this porns the story of the gur- vivors is pitiful enough. From this cave they crawled to the summit of a cliff, an unspeakably barren place, where not a drop of water could be found. The next day Mitchell and Simpson, suffering severely from thirst and hunger, as well as from the pain of exposure, made their way along the cliff for several miles in the hope of finding either a human being or some wa- ter. I*allure added to their bodily torture. They had not the strength to return to their companions, and spent the night un- der some bushes. The next day Mitchell and McMillan, weak, but not yet hopeless, set out for water. McMillan came back to tell the good news that a spring had been found and get a can to fill with it. The others rever heard from him again nor found the water that he had discovered. They be- lieved that weakness overcame him and that he fell from the cliff. an existence of increasing torture. The only wonder is that they did not die. Occa- sionally rain gave them their only relief and they grew so thin from lack of foo that they were literally masses of bones. On May 27 they found a gully of water, and the next day, somewhat revived, Mitchell and Simpson started out to make their way along the coast, leaving Kirk- patrick, too helpless to move from sickness and exhaustion. In a day or two the two brave scouts came upon Cape Berda light- house. here, but they had no strength to go fur- ther. FURY OF STORMS There was no one to heip them. he quotes mice at 3 cents each.

This wretched sustenance, however, was almost worse than none, and the men could bare- ly have lived another day had they not been found and cared for.

Organized parties of settlers, with native guides, are searching the land alon the coast for more bodies of the wretcne.

NHW YORK, July 8—At last rats and mice have an American market value. A man in New Jersey is prepared to pay 6 cents for every healthy rat delivered, and Jerome Shephard, -an old sea captain, is’ builing the mouse and rat market, and is anxious to buy 6000 rodents. Capt. Shep- ‘hard already has a supply of rats and ene- : i | } mice, but owing to the attitude assumed by the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cueity to Animals he has been forced to advertise for rats and mice so that his stock may not become depieted. It so happens that Dr. Shephard is the proprieior of a cat farm near Caldweil, N. J., and: rats and miceare necessary to his business. Four years ago the captain, who looks every inch the typical “seadog,” ‘gave up the sea and determined to devote Most appalling of all, more than | the rest of his life to raising cats. While on his cruisers Capt. Shephard secured a valuable collection of high bred cats. For four years he has been raising cats, and is said to have made a smal) fortune from his farm. ra i ‘a ras, Maltese, Siamese, Indian, )Rus. inn Japanese and, in fact, every breed of cats known to the fancier can be found on the Shephard farm.

Capt. shepnare has probably 200 cats always on the farm and it required a good many rats to go round. In, order that one rat might serve to train several cats, the oy was adopted of placing a ratin a glass ox Or a wire cage set in the corral. at- urally the unfortunate rat created a great deal of excitement in the corral, and when it became exhausted from fright the rat was taken to a cage to recover. Sooner or | later the rat was turned loose among the cats, that they might taste his blood. Some- times rats were tied with a string and hung _ just beyond the reach of the cats. The society seriously considered Capt. Shephard’s case at severa! of its meetings and finally, a few days ago, notified him that +B goog ees torturing rats, but consen o permit him to give the ro- dents outright to the cats.

Scott, who: was shot on the night of the Fourth of July and died within 24 hours, was undoubtedly murdered by a highwayman, and probably by an amateur in the business of robbing people on the public thoroughfares. A man answering the description of the footpad, as furnished by Mr. Scott, was observed within a block of the scene of the shooting by Willlam H. Thornbureh of No. 2 Portland place about 246 minutes beforsa the crime was committed. The assassination theory which was voiced in some directions yesterday was ex- ploded last night by a Post-Dispatch in- vestigation. This tneory was found on the fact that @ vehicle, described as a closed carriage, drawn by a team of gray horses, was seen at the corner of Delmar and Union boule- vards shortly before the shot was fired. The vehicle so deecribed, t1to which it Was said the assassin jumped after wound- ing Mr. Scott, was the property of a peaceabie citizen, walting there to take him thhume from the street car.

Capitalists From This City Investing Largely in the Electric Street Railways at the Other End of the Bridge. There is the strongest reason for believ- ing that a syndicate of all the electric railways on the east side of the river is about tv be formed, which will also em- brace half a dozea projected lines for which franchises have been obtained or are about to be applied for. The consolidation of the Day and Subur- ban electric lines is considered to be the first step toward the consolidation of all the lines which have been built and are about to be built, including those of East St. Louis and Beileville and the Bridge electric line. Since the construction was begun of the Day and Suburban lines the attention of electric railway men has been drawn to the East Side, and they nave seen there a rich, virgin field for such enterprises Within a month three franchises have been granted by the St. Clair County Board of Supervisors for the construction of elec- tric lines. The first one was for the Hine which is to cut across the northwest corner of the county and connect Edwarcsville and Al- ton. Ex-Councilman Heckel of St. Louis was the “promoter” who got that fran- chise. The second one was for a spur of the Suburban line, extending from Edgemont, at the foot of the bluffs, through Casey- vilie to Collinsville. Thies franchise was granted to the Col- linsville, Caseyvilw & Hast St. Louis Elec- tric Railway Co., but no secret is made of the fact that the Bast St. Louls people in the Suburban company are also in this company, and it is likewise an open secret that it is to be operated in connection with the Suburban. At the last meeting, a week ago, the board gave a franchise to E. J. Spence: ami Fred Allen to construct an eectric railway between .the svuthern limits of krovkiyn and the northerr. limits of East St. Louis. Then, at the regular meeting of the City Council ef Venice Friday even- ing, an ordinance was passed granting to D. R. Francis, F. E. Allen and . Bpencer of St. Louis a franchise tv construct and operate an extension of the Venice, Madison & Granite City Street Raiiway over Fourth street from the Ed- Eaesevene road to the southern Mmits of fenice. Monday evening the same company will apply to the Venice Council for a franchise for a branch connecting West Madison ad- dition to Venice. These franchises will enable the East Bt. Louis system and the Venice line to be connected and will extend a continuous line to north of the Merchants’ bridge. passing through Brooklyn, Venice, Madison and Granite City. The East St. Louis lines are owned by the Term.nal Association, of which Julius S. Walsh is President. It has been often reported that Mr. Walsh was interested in both the Day and Suburban lines. Ex- Gov. Francis, in whose name, jointly with others, the morthern franchises were grant- ed, is close’y associated with Mr. Walsh. William 8. Forman, President of the Sub- urban line, according to an admission in- advertently made by one of his friends a few days ago, is also interested in the Northern lines. It is believed that Mr. Heckel acted for the Term‘nal people in applying for the franchise for the Edwardsville and Alton line. People in a position to know predict confidently that as soon as all the desired franchises are obtained a great electric railwav syndicate will be formed on the East Side. Mr. Forman stated a few days ago that an Fastern syndicate had an option on the Dav and Suburban lines and the Belleville local line and had tried, without success, to get an option on the Hast St. Louls sys- tem. It is believed that the lines to Belleville will soon be extended to Mascoutah, Le- banon, Freeburg and Millstadt. People, who claim to know, say that it is the ‘intention to utilize the Day line for light freight and coal and use ‘t only for passengers in emergencies, roamng Stephens, Mrs. Stephens and several eos aoe “Boonville visited the Suburban Garden last night.

KEW MASONIC TEMPLE BACK TO THE HES, iN YOUR 14 SCORE OF FINE HOUSES AND EIGHTY ACRES WILL GO. GANNON’S HEIRS HAVE WON. Splendid Property South of Kirkwood Reverts to the Possession of the Original Owners. By a decision of Judge Hirzel) of the St. Louis County Court at Clayton yesterday nearly a score of fine houses and §& acres of highly improvel land just south of Kirkwood, in all amounting to the value of over $0,000, reveris back to the pos- session of tae heirs of the late Michuel J. Gannon of Belleville, Ill. The suit was brought by G. Zachring and the other heira of the Gannon esiste against Ala<aund¢r Kuesler to recover yos- session of the new home that hag just been ouilt by Mr. Kaesier south «cf Kirkwood While only this nomestex] is mentioned in the suit, the entire property is affected, and all is lost to the present holders unless the decis.on of the Circuit Court is reversed. The defendants w'il cace an appeai., The suit is one of the most intsarasti:«. ever tried in the St. Louls County courts. The piaint.ffs are Z. Zachrunger and wife, Fannie Zachrunger of St. Clair County, Iil.; J. Peterson and wife, Bugenie Peterson, of Chicago; John Allen and wife, Grace Al.en, of Webb City, Mo.; Julia E. Gannon, Thos. B. Gannon, Catherine BE. Gannon, Edwin Gannon and Lil.ile Gannon. When Michael J. Gannon died his prop- erty in St. Louis County was bequeathed to his two sors, Michael J. Gannon, Jr., and Joseph Eugene Gannon. The will pro- vided that if one died the property shouiil go to the other, and that if both died without issue it should go to the brothers ane sisters. The brothers both diéu with ssue. In 1873 the youngest son of J. E. Gannon cold his interest in the northern 30 acres of the S-acre tract to his brother and the older son. Michael J. Gannon, Jr., sold his interest in the 60 acres, being the south part of the 80-acre tract, to gene Gan- non, the youngest son. The lot in question, upon which Kaes.er bulit his house, was located on the 30-acre tract, and this tract was sold in 1876 by Michael J. Gannon, Jr., to M. P. Riveley for $6000 by warranty deed. and has s.nce been conveyed 4 warranty deed to a number of persons in different lots and parcels, and hence the decision in this case by Judge Hirzel necessarily ef- fects all the various purchasers from or through Riveley. Kaesler, the defendant in the present suit, was the last to whom the property was thus conveyed. The interesting question to be decided in the suit was whether the two sons of Mich- ael J. Gannon acquired by the will a fee simple estate. The court decided that under the will they only acquired an esta.e in fee tail and therefore, under the Missouri gstat- utes only a life estate, and both sons having died their children are entitled to the pos- session of the property. In the many transfers of the reperty great ‘improvements have beer made and it is now worth many times its original value. BUSY DAY IN HISTORY. Events in American History That Have Taken Place on the 19th. From Chicago Times-Herald. Has any fatalist considered the signifi- cance which seems to attack to the 19th of April and the 19th day of the other months in the calendar in American history?

4g ‘WE THE QUEEN Anglo-Saxon Spirit at En- deavorers Peace Jubilee. A MEMORIAL FOR CONGRESS. ASKS MEMBERS TO FURTHER AR- BITRATION’S WORK. They Would Make War Impossible and Spur the English People on to Obtain Universal Peace. DETROIT, Mich., July 8—A decidedly ‘Anglo-Saxon spirit was imparted to the speeches at the Christian Endeavor “peace jubilee,”” held at Belle Isle this afternoon. All the speakers were representatives of English speaking countries, American and British, and all sentiments favoring greater friendship and closer relations between the United States and British subjects were heartily cheered. Wet, raw weather through the day caused considerable curtailment of the attendance, but at 4 o’clock after the sun had at last shone forth, several thousand Endeavorers: had grouped about the speaker's stand, erected in one of the pretty groves of De- troit’s Isiand park. President Ciarke, who presided, spied Mayor Mayburn in the crowd and called him to the platform. In a.short speech, made later, the Mayor spoke of the ap- propriateness of Belie Isle as the scene of @ peace meeting, since history had recorded that all Indians had always held the island sacred to peace, and since no blood of either savage or civilized man had ever been shed in violence there, although numerous Dat- tiles had been fought elsewhere throughout the Bame region. After singing patriotic American songs and “God Save the Queen” the following Memorial was read with an announcement that its sentiments had already been in- dorsed by Hon. Andrew D. White, presi- dent of the United States Commissioners no the Peace Conference: ‘To the Senate and House of Representa- tives of the United States of America: ‘We, whose names are affixed hereunto, are members and friends of the Societies of Christian Endeavor, numbering in this countr over #,000 organizations, with more than 2,500,000 members, and in foreigy lands over 14,000 organizations, with nearly 1,000,000 members. It is the sense of our world-wide fellowship that impels us to this memorial, Canada, Great Britain and Aus- tralia contain hundreds of thousands whom we have come to honor and love as breth- ren. mene the Hindoos and Persians, the Chinese and Japanese, the natives of Africa and Madagascar, the Republics of South America, are large numbers who are thus closely knit to us. Our comrades in Chris- tian endeavor are found in France, Italy, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, rkey, Greece, Norwa , Sweden, Holland, Den- mark, Austria, Belgium. In Spain itself, our foe in the late war, is a rapidly increasing number of them, and Christian Endeavor- ers were found in each of the opposing armies. “In view of these facts we wirh to express our abhorrence of war and our solemn con- viction that it is the duty of every civilized nation to do all in its power toward making war impossible. We wish to record our desire for the speedy establishment of an international trfbunal for arbitration. We wish tO show our interest in the interna- tional conference to discuss the matter pro- posed by the Czar of Russia and urge that our country act promptly upon the proposals of that conference. And espe- cially we desire by our signatures to appeal for the immediate consideration of the question of arbitration between this nation and Great Britain, that the Angio-Saxon race may become united in the interests of peace and good will. “In presenting this memortal we are em- boldened by the assurance of a cordial re- ception on the part of iarge numbers of our legislators and we are confident tha: the Congress of the United States of Amer- ica will in the future, as in the past, prove true to the largest sentiments of humanity. May the divine blessing attend yous delib- erations.”’ Rov. Dc. James L. Hill of Salem, Mass., first spoke fur the United States. “By as much as we are Christian En- deavorers,"’ said Dr. Hill, “by eo much shall we work together for peace. We come to anew day. Since the morning stars sang together and the sons of God shouted for joy, there never has been an hour such as the one that is nov coming and almost here—tho hour of untversal peace. “How many of your’ asked Dr. Hill, “will resolve from now on never to think meanly of a person because he differs from you in religious belief or political prefer- ence?” Almost every person in the audience got up in answer to the speakor’s question. — ‘Then, if you do that,” he continued, ‘“‘you will have the peace in and the forgive- ness of God ‘n your hearts, and that means peace in a very large measure.”’ For Great Britain Rev James Murzell of ILondon spoke briefiy. He gaid that the question. of peace seemed perhaps more pressing on the lives of giish people than America, because England lies to@ near the continent of Burope to ever be Eczema! The Only Cure.

I believe the cause of peace will be most rapidly advanced by eep and true concert between the United States and Great Britain."” (Great ap- plause.) Rev. Joseph Walker of Queensland, Aus- tralia, volced peaceful sentiments in be- half of the land under the Southern Cross. He advised Americans tc be cautious lest, in teaching patriotism, they foster the war. “What Great Britain wants,’ eaid Dr. Walker, “and what I believe America wants, is for men to live for their country indeed, but to be opposed to everything mean or unjust and work together for peace, for the glory of God and the coming of his kingdom.” The last address was by Rev. Dr. R. F. Wilson, of Hamilton, Ontario, who as- serted that he had married the Epworth League to the Christian Endeavor in Can- ada, and that the pair had gotten along together famously. “As long a6 the rulers of these two great countries,’ said the speaker, “have charac- ters as exalted and motives as good as those of Queen Victoria and President Mc- Kinley, we need have no fear for peace. In Canada, as citizens and Christians, we are one with you in the desire to improve the efficiency of the public echools, to abolish the suloons, to preserve the sancti- ty of the Sabbath and the sacredness of the home, to keep pure the ballot and to maintain the priceless principle of peace.”’ At the close three cheers were given for President (McKinley, Queen Victoria, Ad- miral Dewey, the ciety of Christian En- deavor and ayor Maybury of Detroit. Benediction was pronounced by Rev. Dr. John Henry Barrowe, president of Oberlin College. The evening was devoted to receptions at all the State headquarters. This morning's ‘“‘Quiet Hour” in “Tent Endeavor’ was more largely atended than either of the previous ones. The spirit of genuine piety is especiaily apparent in these early morning meetings. The last meetings in big tents before Mon- day opened in Tents Endeavor and Wiliis- tin at 10 o’clock with the usual great crowds on hand and the singing as spirited as ever. The main topic of the day in Tent Endeavor was ‘“‘Saved to serve.” “Self-consecration’ was the general theme in Tent Williston. The presiding officer in Tent Endeavor was the Rev. J. Z. Tyler of Cleveland. Rev. Dr. McLaurin of Brooklyn led the devo- tions. Various topics related to the gen- eral theme of service were treated by the following speakers: In the Home—“The Juniors,” Rev. George B. Stewart, D. D., Harrisburg, Pa.; The Family Altar,’’ President Burr.s A. Jenkins, Indianapolis. In the Church—‘The Midweek Prayer- Meeting,” the Rev. Ernest Bourner Allen, Lansing, Mich.; “The Sunday Evening Service,” the Rev. H. O. Breeden, D. D., Des Moines, Io. INustrated Address—“The Christian En- deavor Shears,"’ Prof. Amos R.

Turner, Lincoln, Ill.; ‘“‘How the Pastor May Help the Young People,” the Rev. W. F. Wilson, Hamilton, Ontario. In both tents resolutions which had been fare by the Board of Trustees were read, calling upon all Endeavorers to do their utmost toward preventing Congress- man Roberts of Utah from assuming his seat in Congress. The Roberts resolutions were as follows: “The Board of Trustees of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, speaking in ehalf of over 3,000,000 of Americans solemn- y declare their conviction that the seat- ing of Brigham H. Roberts of Utah as Rep- resentative-at-large from the State in the Fifty-sixth Congress would be, and would be generally understood to be, a condona- tion of the crime of polygamy; a blow at the sanctity of the marriage reiation, and a peril to the A ays and integrity of the family, upon which our civil and religious institutions so largely rest. ‘We therefore confidently call upon our representatives in the National Congress to rise above all partisan and sectional and personal considerations, and in defense of our reputation and character as a law-abid- ing people, to deny Mr. Roberts ai seat among our national lawmakers. Accompanying the resolutions was sub- mitted a memorial to Congress to be signed by Endeavorers, urging utmost endeavor towards accomplishing Mr. Roberts’ expul- sion, “in accordance with the provision of the national constitution,”’ article 1, section 7, as follows: “Each house may determine the rufes of its proceedings, pun{sh its members for dis- orderly behavior, and with the concurrence of two-thirds expel a member.” The memorial also urges swhmission of a constitutional amendment to the Legislat- ures of the States, defining legal marriage to be monogamix, and making polygamy and polygamous cohabitation a crime, pun- ishable by severe nalties, including dis- franchisement an disqualification from a a eral fam pe office. v. H. B, Grosse of Boston presided ove the Tent Williston session. aoe. Dr. M. Rhodes of St. Louls conducted the devo- tloval exercises. Many delegates took ad- vantage of an open parliament to give per- 6onal testimonials. On the general theme of consecration, addresses were delivered as follows: “Our Conquering Covenant,” Rev. W. T. Rogers, Nashville, Tenn.; ‘The Tenth Le- gion,” Rev. J. ! Cromer, Kansas City Mo.; “The Comrades of the Quiet Hour,’ President Clark; “Yeung Men Called to Preach,”” Rev, Dr. Hugh K.

TAONDON, July §.—There is great excite- ment in the tea trade, owing to the de- cision of the Indian and Ceylon sellers to abolish the practice of allowing a pound extra in_ every 100 as compensation for waste. The dealers in Londof are in arms and have resolved to boycott the Indian and Ceylon teas.

After the Contest Iselin’s Yacht Fouls Its Opponent’s Boom, Bending Its Solid Steel Spar and Making Netessity for Repairs. NEW YORK, July 8—At last the big sloop yachts, Columbia and Defender, have met in a contest royal that has been satis- factory to all concerned. In a strong and fairly steady breeze and smooth water they sailed over a course of about 26 miles to- day, and in covering that distance the Co- lumbia fairly and squarely outsailed the Defender by 8 minutes 13 seconds actual time. If the Columbia, after measurement, is found to allow the Defender two minutes, she will still have beaten her by one min- ute and 13 seconds. That means that she can beat her now over a full 30-mile course by at least two minutes, corrected time, and that when she is tuned up, say by the Septemoer races, she will easily beat her five minutes, wh.ch is ail that is required of her. To-day’s race was as fine a smooth water test'as the yachts may ever expect to get. Here are ithe official figures, showing times of each yacht at all points: Columbia. Defender. ar 12:40 :5: 12:40:41 lirest mark - :1y: Second mark Home mark kirst mark Second mark 208; Finish 8:24:08 Kiapsed time ...... eeveseses 2:48:16 On the first leg of the course a reach of about four miles, with a beam wind, the Defender gained two seconds. On the sec. ond leg of six m.les, in which there was some windward work, the Columbia gained 1:53. On the third leg, a three-mile run, be- fore the wind, with spinnakers set, the De- fender gained six seconds. On the first leg, the second time around, the Columbia gained 1:11. In the close-hauled work, on the second leg, she gained only 36 seconds, and in the run to the finish the Defender gained 43 seconds. The official summary is as follows: Start Finish Elasped time .....-. Columbia beats Defender 3 minutes 13 seconds actual time. The only unfortunate par of to-day'’s event was the fact that oth of the yachts sailed the wrong course. It was in fact the feature of the day, and the strange action of those in charge of the yachts kept everyone guessing as to the ultimate result. The first leg of the course was to be eight miles long, the turning point being o Stamford, Conn. The yachtsmen of the Riverside Club were having a race on the sound. They set their turning point on the course of the Columbia and Defender, but only four miles from their starting point. When, after an exciting luffing match, Capt. Rhodes saw this mark, he ao kept the Defender off and rounded it, and for a while no one knew whether it was a real race or not. C. Oliver Iselin explained matters after the race. He sald: ‘The Defender made the mistake and we simply foilowed her to make a‘race. It had turned out a good one. We are very well satisfied with it all around. We both made a mistake, but it has been the best allround race we have yet had. I am satisfied that the Columbia is the better boat, but she will go to Bristol and have her sails recut before she races again.” The ‘Regatta Committee say that the event wiil be considered as a race and Commodore Postley will probably award the cup to the Columbia. The Columbia, In running in for her moor- ings after today’s race, fouled the De- fender’s boom with her port topmast shroud and afterwards , the topmast backstay, bending the Defender’s hollow steel spar almost at right angles. The Columbia was uninjured and immediately after caught her own moorings. The De- fender will go to Bristol] Monday, where the injured boom will be gtraigtened, and, if necessary, will be cut and spliced. (Both boats, after crossing the line, luffed up and lowered their topsails, heading across toward Hempstead as they did so. Then they stood over toward their moor- ‘ings at New Rochelle, about two miles off, under the three lower eails, Defender in the lead. On the sted over both vessels lowered their 'mainsails, rolling them up, put on ‘the sail covers. Then under jibs alone the two boats sailed slowly up into their mooriiigs. Defender being ahéad caught by ther moorings first, and when the Columbia came along the Defender was lying quietly with everything rfade snug. Columbia was rolling along at a and as her moorings were further inshore she was steered past under Defender’s stern. When just astern of the Defender the port topmast shroud of Co- lumbia caught the end of Defender's steel boom and bent It und to starboard. When the shroud elipped off, Columbia's port backstay also caught, but did not add materially to the injury. All was excites ment on the two boats, for {t looked for an instant as if Columbia's topmast would be broken off by the etrain, but fortunately the steel rigging slipped off Defender’s boom in time to prevent guch a catastrophe. When the danger was over Cohrmblae continued on to her mooring, while De- fender’s crew unbent the mainsail] ae far back as the damaged boom. Mr. Butler Duncan, Jr., managing owner of the Defender, took the matter philo- sophically, saying simply: “Accidents are Ifable to happen.” Not one yachtsman in a hundred when he rolled out of his bunk at 7 o’clock | would thave predicted any sort of suitable weather for a yacht race. It f an old sailor’s saying that the wind {fs never lost, it is found in the south, and sure enough, after being lost all the morn- ing it came out from the south good and strong, just before the new starting time. The committee was ready for it and s0 were Skippers Barr and Rhodes. Main- sails had been hoisted and club topsails mastheaded when eight bells struck, and a few minutes after the yachts slipped their moorings and breaking out the jibs they came down to the starting point, half a mile southeast of Flagler’s Point, just {n nice time to see the preparatory signa)s hoisted on the oommittee’s boat. Half a hundred sailing and steam yachts, each with its quota of guests on board, were out there, eager to see the fun, and earnest fun it Was, sure enough, for black clouds were rising to the southward and the breeze was gaining strength every minutes. Seven minutes had passed since the pre- paratory signal. Three were left before the signal to start would be given. Both yachts set their forestay sails. The De- fender, on the port tack, wag heading to- ward Larchmont, Columbia was in he? wake, 2 few ponsthe away. Anotner minute passed away. . Rhodes put Defender'’s wheel hard oon the sioop, swinging smartly around on her aes gybed and came around on the other ack. arr, of the Columbia, executed the same maneuver. Both on the port tack were coming for the line during the last minute before the signal, Defender on Co- lumbia’s lee beam, and with such a overian that Rhodes was able to foree Barr to luff. As the latter did so the whistle blew. They came romping across the lin nearly close hauled on the port tack. it they had kept their courses both would have had the wind abeam. The starting signal (Was at 12:4, and the yachts were allow The official Columbia, 46:58, So the Columbia started 12 seconds after two minutes to cross the line. Constipation Caused by over-work!

From the moment of thele wild chorus of ae = Co start it was a battle royal between the skippers, and it was one of the finest exhi- bitions of luffing that has been ever seen between cup defenders. The excitement was intense. For five min- utes Barr, by luffing, tried to get out on the Defenders’ weather quarter. Rhodes just as often luffed out and stopped him until they were miles out of their course. Finally Barr squared the Columbia off and Rhodes followed suit, without being able to pass his rival. A second luffing match was then begun, and it only ended when both yachts found themselves prevented from luffing any more by a tow of barges. With their lee rails well down and each turning up a big bow wave they fairly tore along with the wind abeam, Defender carry- ing a baby jib topsail and Columb.a a size larger. No sooner had Defender’s bowsprit passed the tug, which was towing the bar- than Rhodes her sible for the his weather. after, both skip- pers sighted the Riverside Yacht Club's mark boat, a dory anchored in the middie of the sound and without tak.ng their bearings, they kept off for it. The mark was off Captain's Island. Its ball at the top of a pole did not bear the “Larchmont colors” and it was a good four miles west of the real mark, but Mr. Rhodes sent the Defender straight for it, and no amount of whistling on the pert of > committee boat could make him change his course. Just before reaching this mark the wind shifted from south to east by south, giving the Defender an even better chance. She reached the mark first, and after gybing, luffed around it at 1:18, the Columbia fol- lowing 19 seconds later. The Columbia now tried to go through Defender’s lee and she was succeeding pretty well, when the latter went about to starboard for a minute and headed for the Long Island shore. Columbia followed suit. Then went about again to port, Co- lumbia was now on Defender’s lee quarter, Both had their baby jib topsail set now and the breeze was making them go through the water at a 10-knot CH.

Defender’s was set in less than a minute after rounding. It was pernete eed remarked during the race that Defender’s sails were handled more smartly. It was not yet certain whether the com- mittee would stop the race at the end of this first round or let them go. It was soon settled, however. Spinnakers came in lively a couple of minutes before the mark was reached. Hauling in mainsheets® smartly both boats made good gybs and rounde as follows: Columbia, 2h. 6m. 6s.; Defender, 2h. 7m, 8s.

THAT’S THE IDEA OF BROOKLYN SCHOOL DIRECTORS. THE STUDY OF HORTICIULTURE. Girls to Learn to Raise Chickens and Other Animals, Including How te — Milk Cows. NEW YORK, July &—A _ revolution in public school education is expected if the Brooklyn Board of Education establishes such a school for teaching girls domestic economy and hand work as has been rec- ommended by School Commissioners Chas. ~ Chadwick, Franklin W. Hooper and ohn Harrigan. These commissioners con- stitute a special committee to investigate the extraordinary absences of girls from achool. The committee has recommended the es- tablishment in Brooklyn of a public school which shall offer girls instruction in ordi- nary English branches, the use of all ma- chines used imlight Se installa- tion of telephones and electric lights and the use of common doniestio tools, the chemistry of cooking and cleaning, knowl- edge of food, home sanitation, use of gas stoves and also developing knowledge ‘in housekeeping and business generally.

This will. be the most comprehensive echool of domestio econ and inctus- trial feature ever proposed by an Amer- ican municipality. A two or three years’ course is guggested, with diplomas for graduates. The suggestion is the outgrowth of the answers of a hundred school principals, from which it appeared that a large num- ber of girls from 12 to 14 years of age stay away from school because they h to do housework or go to work to earn money Uttering a dull growl, the animal bounded in domestic work or as factory girls. The public school system trains girls to be clerks or teachers, stenographers or busi- ness women, but it gives these other girls who form a majority no training to fit themselves for breadwinning. FOOLED THE SOLDIER BOY. Not Used to Feminine Waye That Are Dark and Tricky. From the Washington Post. One of the eoldier boys swung along in | peop Al parade with a heart far heavier than his gun, and as he passed a balcony on the avenue and saw a pretty girl and @ repulsively well-dressed man there, he scowled fiercely. Last fall it was far other- wisa He smiled whenever he saw so and the repulsively well-dressed man hadn ¢ dawned yet. Last spring the solMier sacri- ficed two buttons from ‘his blouse and had them made into hatpings for that girl. Two weeks ago he sat near her at the theater, and when she removed her hat he saw that it had been pinned on with a turquois fleur de lis and an enameled violet. The military buttons were not there. The girl had prom- ised to wear them forever and ever. The soldier boy went home and wrote her the witheringest note you can imagine, He told her that as she no longer cared for him she could no longer value the button batpins and that he’d like them back again. Of course, he put in a number vf other remarks, some of them general, re- forring to the sex, and others s iflo re- ferring to her and her conduct. She’s a nice girl and an amiable girl, but that no'e was too much for her to endure. She gent @ man servant with her answer: “My Dear Mr. Skaggs—I would be very lad to return the hatpins you ask for, but I cannot tell which ones they are. They are all so alike that I am not at all sure which ones you gave me, but I send you what I have and you can pick out yours. Very sincerely, FRANCES,” And that’s why the soldier boy scowled. Being a mere man he didn’t even dream that six of the hatpins were borrowed. Youngest Organist in the World From the Boston Evening Transcript.

How Its Hot Lash Whips Out the Lives of Man and Beast. 8 this yellow, sunburned life drags its yellow weight across the endless plains, says Elizabeth Washburn in the July At- lantic. A fatelike, awful march; no hope, no halt for man or beast; but on, on, over the spreading billows of biting sands, of lowing, shifting, sinking sands, with over- ead the hot sky, blue and hard, blaz- ing in its midst the scorching eye that burns and blisters with its sight. In agony the camels stumble on, beat at the dense hot wall. Desperately the coolies before them; but through their etupor there beats a wave of consciousness. A ehudder brings them to a knowledge of a something awful. Through -+the sun-steeped, sun- bleached minds there cutg a keener stab. They are awake to what? Into the coarse camel hair they dig the'r fists; tighter they press to the living mer beneath them; they look not to one anoth- er; words they have not, In the presence of this heat they dare not breathe. Con- vulsively they cling to the stumbling beasts; and in low 7 sobs the anguish of body breaks forth. etween the two, the brute and man, there strikes a flash of mutual pain and torment.

With the bachelors outnambering the maide in every State in the Union, it ought to be easy for the unmarried women to secure a partner any- where, but the region where the bachelors are twno«t in excess is, of course, the most favorable to the spinster, since the abundance of uomarried men gives her a wider range of choice. From a mat- rimonial point of view Idaho is the best State of the Union, for there the number of bachelers is to that of the maids as 16,584 to 1,426, earch unmarried woman in Idaho, therefore, having ten or eleven bachelors, not exactly at her beck, but available as a husband. Fron most pointe of view the West is the Mecca of the young unmarried woman, for not only are there more unmarriei men in the Western States, but « living is more easily made in the West than tn the st. and therefore, the Western men are the mor addicted to matrimony.

Cruel and tyrannical as were the Span- jards, and robbers and oppressors as were the friars of the various religious orders, it must be admitted that the Tagals owe their teaching in great measure to the priesthood, for churches, convents and schools abound everywhere in and around Manila, and far to the north and south of that thronging city. One of the best works on the Philippines is that of Ramon Reyes Lala, now a resident of New York City, and from him and from Padre Algue of the Great Jesuit College in Ermita, and Senor Arellano, now Chief Justice of Luzon, by appointment of Gen. Otis, I gathered the information that nine-tenths of the adult Tagals could read and write I repeat that the Filipince In and near Manila are industrious, frugal, temperate and clean. They do run to holidays, on which they will not work, and many shops and offices have te close in consequence. Out of the 86 days in the year the Fill- pinos have 153 holidays, and if you subscribe ior a Manila daily with the idea of getiing 365 papers in the twelve months you will fall short by at least 16. I repeat that they are most skilled ar- tisans in many a trade and industry; thet eome of their sculpture and paintings will compare favorably with that of Durope or Amerioa, and that as instrument musicians they are wonderful. It must be owned that they proxiuce aleo expert sneak thieves and acoomplishead liara, but in the latter point they have had three centuries of insetruc- tion from Spain. Not only are there numérous and good schools for the mass of the pomplation, all of whom appear to be devout Catholics, but the eons and daughters of the wealthier na- tives are eent to France and England for their education. The papers and records left behind in the ingungent flight from Santa Ana, San Pedro Macati and Guada- lupe, after thelr mad and wanton attack of Feb. 5, show that they had @ very’ com- plete system of government, that the Filipino is as unstabie as a bF‘renchman, and that he wiil assassinate his President if he does net like him, but Mercurial France has main- tained her Republic for over @ quarter of a century with the loss of no more Presi- dents by the hand of the assassin, in point of fact, than our own, it has been claimed by some I favor Aguinaldo, I do not ook upo him as @ scheming politician and the too of stronger minds, like that of Mabini, his chief adviser. It is held by some imperial- ists of the press that my assertion as to the capacity of the Tagais was unjustifia- ble, but 1 do not recall any adverse criti- cism on their part when Admiral rge Dewey wrote precisely the same thing a year ago, and though I did not know this when I wrote last month I am rejoiced to have such distinguished support. I am astonished, however, to be informed that certain anti-Administration papere claim that my opinion of the Tagal means that I think the war should end, our troops be withdrawn and the islanders left to themeelves. Our flag must never be low- ered in face of an armed foe, and iff it costs thousands of men and millions of money the insurgents who rewarded our endship with treachery and armed at- must be utterly subdu much mistake the temper of the Amer. foan people if even a s ] number fall to a@ocord to our esident and to our com- thander in Manila solid support, But I have said and I repeat that !t is not an easy thing to ip those Well-armed Ta. gals, protected as they were, every mile of FRE It may be ar pepere that VALE 2 _ ”_- — “= Gen. Charles King, who writes of the Filipinos to the Post-Dispatch, has the courage to say just what his impressions of the natives are. He de- lieves them capable of self-government, and tells why. Gen, King has a reputation as a soldier and as a writer. After his graduation at West Point, he spent several years in the cavalry service, be- ing engaged niost of the time in active campaign- Ing against the Indians until he was disabled by wounds and compelled to leave the service. He was retired with the rank of captain, and returned to Wisconsin and settled down to literary work. Oapt.

When the war broke out with | Spain he was on the point of joining his family in Europe, but he at once offered his services to the government and was made a brigadier general. He was assigned to the army intended for the Phil- ippines, and belped to organize the troops at San Francisco. His career on the islands has been very creditable and he won laurels for his victory over the Filipinos at Santa Ana. Later his health ave way and he was relieved from duty and sent ome, the way from Manila to San Fernanda, by the finest fleld works science could devise. If driven from the plaing they can retire to the mountains or the dense bamboo thickets, through which only in single file, along crooked trails, can they be approached. Our little army in the Philippines has had fo encounter great difficulties and much hard- ship and peri). Its losses have been Severe, but those inflicted on the enemy have been infinitely greater. That it stood the climate and the hardships sd well was due to the fact thet Maj.-Gen. Otis and his division comma «ders were tireless in their efforts to see thut the men were well fed, clothed and cared for. Our gupply system was ex- cellent, our surgeons, and ambuiances ser- vice and hospitals equall good, and there was a total absence of complaint or cause for it. That it encountered peril with such dis- ciplined and dauntless courage was due to the fact that the army was made up with a little leaven of regulars, mainly of Western volunteers, accustomed to rough it hunting, fishing, ranching and ospecting in the mountains, and most of the regiments had several months of steady drill and ceaseless outpost duty, and were well acclimated too, before the clash came. That no really decisive result has yet been obtained is due to the fact that though hun- dreds of Filipinos have been kill there are thousands to take their places. Every able-bodied Tagal must serve when called on or eufter the consequences. The homes of a community of would-be neutrals in the rear of Ovenshine’s brigade went up in smoke and flames in a eingle night, fired by insurgent sympathizers in Manila. When a man drops on their firing line his rifle and ammunition are handed to another in the unarmed reserve. Their wounded they leave to us for nurs- ing, having found that they are cared for even in large numbers, as tenderly as our own. This shows their sagacity. ey bur- den us, better their wounded and free them- selves. Time and again I have seen our men giving their wcunded drink or food, ami no hurt or hardship at the front was so hard to bear as the statements published in certain prominent journals of Gotham and Massachusetts to the effect that slaughtered helpless natives and merciless shot down unfortunates armed only with bow or spear. That whole story about bow- men and spearmen, which led to such hys- terical editorials, was absolutely false. The battle of Feb. 6 was a fair and square fight in which the insurgents, if anything, were better armed than we, for except the Fourteenth Regulars and the little battalion of the Third Artillery our whole force had only the Springfield rifies, while the enemy had the Mausers, of much longer range. ere Was not a bowman of spearman within range of Manila, and even a heavy sum offered to any one who could find a spear or bow failed to produce one.

BUT THEY ARE NOT TO CONTEST Large Properties and Incomes Distrib- uted to the Late Millionaire’s Immediate Household. The late Charles H. Peck, the retired millionaire of Vandeventer place, who died last week, evidently intended that no per- son should interfere with the final dispw- sition of his property, for in his will, filed for probate yesterday, he plainly declared that any heir or heirs who may contest the document shall stand disinherited. The property disposed of in this will Shows the estate to amount to several millions. To his wife he gave the horses, car- riages and other vehicles, housesaold furn!- ture, plateware, pictures, books and other articles of personal property at No. 7 Van- deventer place. To his daughters, Rebecca and Belle, the personal property which the wife of the deceased has not disposed of at the time of her death. To his wife, and children, after her, the deceased bequeathed the real property at 7 Vandeventer place, To the widow of his son, Austin Peck, he gave the farm, containing 100 acres, situ- ated in Central Township, st. Louis County. All the ae gm mm pecpersy. with real, personal and mixed, he bequeathes to his wife, and to his daughter afterwards, dur- ing their lives, The trustees are instructed to pay to the wife of the deceased, during her iife, the sum of $800 a month. To his daughter Rebecca the deceased leaves an income of $200 a month, to be paid by the trustees of the estate. The daughter Belle receives $250 a month The widow of the deceased's son, John A.., $60; the widow of deceased's son, Roderick A., $40; the widow of Austin Peck, $20, and her two children, $30 each a month during their Nves. Mary Powers, a devoted servant, receives $20 a month during her life. The grandsons, Austin Peck, Franklin B. Peck, Roderick A. Peck and Robert 8. Peck, $500 each. The children of the deceased Charles H., Jr., Stephen J., John A. and Rebecca, each three-eighteenths of the income accruing to the estate. Belle, the other daughter, receives three and one-half of the shares, divided into eighteenths as an income. The trustees are authorized to administer the estate for 15 years, at the end of which time, if the heirs of the estate then alive wish to sell the entire property they will be at liberty to do so.

THE PLANS FOR CELEBRATING. Programmes of the Concerts at the Parks To-Day—Various Other Festivities. There wil] be two big celebrations of the anniversary of the fall of the Bastile in St. Louis next Friday night. The promoters of each claim that it is the genuine thing and an impartial public seems to think that both are right. ‘“‘You pays your money and takes your choice.”’ The Franco-American celebration to be held at Forest Park Highlands promises to be one of the most brilliant fetes ever held in this city. Besides the usual open air concert and fireworks and a programme ar- — ee ‘ a MR. LESLIE CURTIS FITCH. ranged by Mr. Emile Karst, the president of the society, there are several features that should tend to make the affair an en- thusiastic success. The Marselilaise will be sung by Miss Mae Estelle Acton, in cos- tume as Bellona, with chorus and accom- paniment by the guns of Battery A. The reputation of Miss Acton in this character of work and the support to be given by the chorus and artillery, insure that this number will call forth all the enthusiasm of the French temperament. The Branch Guards will give an exhibition drill, which will be their first appearance before the people of St. Louis since their return from Chickamauga Park last fall. In view of the still unorganized and unarmed condition of the First Regiment it was necessary (to make arrangements for the company to use the rifles of the Police Department on this occasion. An interesting feature will be the poem on the “Fall of the Bastile,”” composed for the occasion by weware | ates, and to be recited by Lawrence Haniey. The eratere will be Gov, Charies 4 John- son, who will speak in English, an Prof. Gaston Douay of Washington University. ho will deliver an address in French. he music, under the direction of Prof. Eimer, will include vocal solos by Miss Mae Bstelle Acton, Miss Marie B.

And when winter comes then the entire scene transformed to what seems a fairyland of marvelous frost dressings, of icy forts and snowy palaces; of gleaming, crystal prison barriers vainly striving to bind the roaring, foaming plunge of water--will present a spectacie of weird, mysterious beauty which is not duplicated in the world.—Out- ing.

William Fife Describes Some of the Yacht’s Strong Points. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1898, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, July 8.—Great secrecy is still maintaired about the Shamrock, but the P’osi-Dispatch correspondent has secured @n interview with William Fife, the father of her designer, and himself one of the most noted yacht designers now living, which ‘throws valuable light on some of the more important novelties in her construction. He speaks with more authority on his son's work and the Shamrock’s construction than @ny one else could. Mr. Fife said: “I am certain the coming American cup race will be the closest ever salled. The Shamrock represents a new de- pariure in material, as, after the Vigilant and Defender victories it was thought use- less to send a composite wovoden boat. The Fhamrock’s metal is considered beyond question the best ever employed on this Ide. “We have an advantage over the Colum- bla in ametal deck, which saves about one and a half tons. The Americans sur- prised us at every Pj evious contest, but I think we have got to ‘Me end of that. I was told that an aluminui mast was fitted to the Columbia or Defender, but 1 doubt it, as aluminum is not tough enough to stand the strain. The spars we intended the Sham- rock to race with are all steel, except the fopmast and bowgprit, but a set of wooden epars has been provided as a precaution. ée Shamrock’'s mast Is one ton five hun- Gred weight lighter than If it had been wood and her boom is nine hundred weight light- er. Her gaff jaws, blocks, cheeks and alli her ironwork aloft are riddled with holes to save weight. “T think the Shamrock follows the Senta very closely in type, but she is deeper und eguarer, her fin is bigger and her spars and eail comparatively larger. The Senta is the best boat of her class, particulariy In reach- ing, but on the wind he is faster than any of her opponents.”’ SMARTEST OF THE SEASON.

LANDON, Juiy §.—A representative of the Associated Press has interviewed tho Countess of Aberdeen and others regarding the practical results likely to accrue from the International Council of Women. Lady Aberdeen, who is an enthusiastic admirer of the American and Canadian delegates, sald: “Every one of them was as skilled expert and most of them were trained speakers, whom the congress was delighted to hear, which cannot be said in regard to many of the other speakers. The Americans, as a rule, were better informed, more decided in opinion and further advanced on the leading topics than any.cf the other dele- gates. They fairly outstripped the English, who, however, were better informed than the continental delegates in general knowl- edge of the subjects pertaining to women. Mrs. Sewall won the congress from the first. Her extraordinery tact in dealing with such a large gathering was remarkable. ‘Miss Susan B. Anthory’s powerful ad- vocacy of women’s claims distinctly added to her alreacy great reputation. “Regarding the results, the grand con- summaticn has been reached of welding to- gether a cosmopolitan body of thoughtful women, prepared to educate their fellow- women. Twenty-five years hence the jeaven of to-day will have leavened the whole world and the Irresistible force of public opinion will have raised women to their proper sphere.”’ Miss susan B. Anthony dwelt enthusias- ticauiy on the work of the counci] and sald: “We have already taken the outer trenches of the woria’s thought.” LONDON SEASON IS WANING.

The other American girl who steps into prominence is little Helen MacBeth, who came to London a year ago with ‘her hus- band, Frank ‘Mills, to play a small part in “The Heart of Maryland.” m She is now engaged to play Mrs. Potters Jewish Rival in ‘‘Ghetto.’’ The part is sec- ond in timpdrtance only to the heroine.

Augustin Daly owned the rights of the play for America, and it will probably be seen at Daly’s next season. YOUNG CHURCHILL VERY CALM Attributes His Defeat and the Liberal Victory First to Defective Or- ganization of Conservatives. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishiug Compauy TAINDON, July 8—The defeat sustained by Winston Churchill, Lady Randolph Churchill's clever son, the election at Oldham could not well have been more severe. There were two vacancles and with Mr. Maudsley, secretary of the largest and most influential Lancashire trade union, as his colleague, he stood in the Conservative interest, but the Conservative majority of uM) at the preceding election was changed into a Liberal majority of 140, Liberais winning both seats. Lancashire is a great stronghold of the present Government and the crushing de- feat of Maudsiey was the most serious blow thé Ministry has sustained since its ereation and is regarded in political cir- cles aS a sure portent of a sweeping Liberal majority after the next dissolution, which probably has been brought appreciably nearer by this disaster. Young Churchill, when asked to explain his defeat, said: ‘First, defective organiza- t.on; second, the swing of the pendulum which always has a perverse tendency to go against the Government of the day; thirdly, the Government policy of doles to establish clergy; fourthly, because ] op- posed all the fads, anti-vaccination, liquor veto and so forth,” Ludy Randolph, for the three last days of the contest, spent 13 hours a day making a personal canvass of doubtful voters. she was far more disheartened than her son, who anticipated defeat.

GREAT IMPROVMENT IS SHOWN. | Rivalry Between the Shipbuilding Companies Keeps Many of the De- tails Close in Secret. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Cowpary. LONDON, July 8—Admiralty and engi- neering experts are keenly interested just now in the forthcoming trials of the two torpedo catchers on the Tyne. They are fitted with the Hon, Charles Parsons’ pat- ent turbine engines, instead of the usual reciprocating engines. The vessels are identical in their proportions, with a dis- placement of about 350 tons. They are 22 feet long and their engines are capable of developing 10,000 horse power with a guar- anteed speed of 35 knots an hour. The Post-D‘spatch correspondent at New Castle-on-Tyne, on making inquiries, found that, owing to the rivairy existing between the firms building these boats, Messrs. Hawthorn and Leslie and the Elswick Ship- building Co., the greatest secrecy has been observed in regard to them. He managed to glean, however, some unpublished particu- lars. They will have four funnels and four propeller shafts, two on each side, each provided with two propellers. These are placed so as to prevent cavitation or the forming of a vacum at ¢he back of the prope.lers, thereby causing considerable re- sistence to effective work. This was one of the chief difficulties experienced in the Turbinia, the first of the Parson's boats, whose achievement of 40 miies an hour at the jubilee naval review,in 1897, was the striking feature of that historic assem- blage. Another defect then was that the main propelling machinery could not be reversed, and special reversing engines have been introduced. They are piaced upon. the Same shafts as the propel.ing machinery, and it is expected that the new vesse.s can move astern at the raie of 12 knots an hour. Tais is an improvement on the Turbinia, for, though she went alread 40 mile8 an hour. sne couia only reverse at the rate of four. The torpedo catcher which is being built at Hawthorn s is under contract for the British Admiral.ty, and is named the Viper, She is expected to an lerge her speed trials in about a month. The BDiswick Company's boat is more advanced in: her construction, and her launching has been carried out with the utsnost secrecy, the Elswick people con- fidentially believing that they can beat the time of the V.per. Speaking with one of the most famous navai constructors of Eng.and, who has of- ficlally inspected the Viper the Post-Dis- patch correspondent was informed that while the Parsons engine had a great future before it, at present it had only reached an advanced experimental stage. No one could think of applying it to an Atlantic liner unt:] the difficulties st:]l unsurmounted should have been overcome. One of its ad- vantages is that there is absoluteiy no vi- bration, an improvement which is as im- portant on a torpedo destroyer as on an Atlantic liner, PRESS LIKES THE ACT Berlin Newspapers Look on the Event as Showing That the Gaul Is Forgetting Prejudice. BERLIN, July 8.—Emperor William’s visit to the French trading ship Iphigente, at Bergen, Thursday and his cordial ex- change of telegrams with President Loubet | In were not only received with great satisfac- | tion here, but throughout Europe. As one paper puts it, it promises to be a turning point in the world’s history.

The Imperor’s act has been sympathetically received in France, though some see in it only a desire to visit the Paris Exhibition in 1900... Most of the papers print the Iphigenie telegrams with- out commenti. The Tagebiatt says: : “It was the first official act of France for a generation expressing a desire for more friendiy relations. The courtesy of the Kaiser is gradually teiling upon France.”’ The Vossische Zeitung says: ‘The incident must fill with satisfaction the friends of peace, not only on both sides of the Vosges, but everywhere in_ the world. It proves that the present rulers of France are not hypnotized with the idea of a revanche ald have the moral courage to show it.” The Lokal Anzeiger sees in the incident proof of good relations. The Cologne Gazette looks upon it as an indication of how far French and German sentiments have moderated recently. The Vorwaerts does not see in the affair a “turning point in the world’s history,’” and sarcastically expresses the hope that Prof. Stengel’s mind will now become more peace- able. The attitude of the French press has caused much satisfaction here. AMERICAN ACTORS DO WELL. “An American Citizen’ a Success and Wil Be Prolonged.

LONDON, July 8—The Post-Dispatch correspondent asked Mise Susan B. An- thony to-day to describe her impression of queen Victoria, who received her and other members of the Women's Congress at Windsor yesterday. “The occasion was especially delightful to me personally,’’ answered Miss Anthony, “as I have thought of Queen iVctoria so much in my life, I remember the day she was crowned and 1 also remember how my father, whenever he had anything nice to eat, would gay: ‘Good enough for the queen.’ “Il think I can truly say that it gave every one of us the greatest delight to break the bread and drink the tea provided by the Queen’s -own hospitality. Her cour- tesy was greatly appreciated by the repre- sentatives of the United tSates. “We stood in.a semi-circle,” said Miss Anthony, “and the Queen drove out from an archway.

So great is the rush that the steamship companies admit their inability to cope with it. All the Transatlantic com- panies have ordered from one to four new ships, but it Is impossible for many of these to be ready in 190.

Copyrigut, 1840, by Press Pubiisalug Company. JUVISY, near Paris, July 8—In 4n interview specially accorded the corre- spondent of the Post-Dispatch, Camille Fliammarion, the noted astronomer, says: “I have not repudiated spiritualism light- ly. A serious man naturaily always dis- likes to admit that he has been mistaken all his life. As well known, I have been one of the stoutest apostles of spiritual- ism. I always believed I Was having regu- lar intercourse with the other world. Gali- leo’s spirit never failed to come to me when summoned. His revelations about the ap- pearance and manners of the inhabitants of other planets were incorporated in my writings always with the utmost confidence till modern instruments discovered five sat- eliites of Jupiter and nine of Saturn, whereas what I beiieved wus the spirit of Galileo always affirmed to me that Jup.ter has four moons and Saiurn eight. At first l felt sure the astronomers must be mis- taken, but now I have seen with my own eyes. As it is inadmissible that real spir- its could err or jest, evidentiy my _ inter- course with Gali.eo was a jong delusion. I acknow.edge it frankly and w.tnout shame, because 1 have acted in good faith in this matter and refuse to lend support to error. ‘“‘you must understand, however, that I do not renounce all belief in spiritual man- ifestations,. the ex.sience of which has been proved beyond doubt. I have simply reached the conclusion that euch manifes- tations cannot be attributed to the spirits of dead people. I apna them by our pow- er to throw part of our spirit outside of ourselves. This exteriorized sprit un- doubtedly is capable of moving material bod.es, emitting sounds and otherwise af- fecting matter. I see additional proof that the phenomena go far ascribed to the dead emanates from psychic force projected by the living. In fact, the so-called revela- tions always are confined to things known, suspected or desired by somebdy present. Likewise, when music is heard, it is always a strain previously stored in the brain cells of some person present at the expert- ment. It is clearly the floating exterior- ized spirit of that peson repeating impres- sions. For example, when the name of Galileo was pronounced by me, evidently my exter‘orized spirit was reflecting ex- pectation, and when scientific problems were solved, I now realize, it was only ac- cording to my own vague, latent induction. “It is impossible to develop new theories in the I'mits of a cable dispatch, but I am writing a book giving conclusive proofs that the apirie of the dead never mingle with the living in this world, and that spiritual'sm is a delusion when not mere jugglery.” DOG-DAY DULLNESS IN BERLIN. Bisynarck’s Prospect Now the Main Topic of the Newspapers. BERLIN, July 8.—Dog-day dullness has settled upon Berlin. The Diet has ad- journed until Aug. 14, and the Herrenhaus to Aug. 17. Nearly all the Ministers have departed on their vacat'ons and the politt- cal excitement of the past week has given place to a quiet which the papers can only disturb by inventing new rumors of minis- terial changes. The Emperor is yachting oft the Norwegian coast. No exciting speeches may be expected from him, and during his absence the public has settled down for a month of quiet. In view of the more favorable outlook for the election and canal bills, the talk of a dissolution and a reconstruction of the Ministry has died away. The press now postpones the whole question until the re- assembling of the Diet. The rumors regarding Cabinet changes have brought Prince Herbert Bismarck, and his political future, into discussion. It is believed he is now anxious to wipe out the memory of the past and put himself in the way of an appointment to an important place. is recent speeches in the Reicns- tag. praising the Government and its for- eign poiicy, have been interpreied as a bid for a complete reconcillat.on with the Em- peror and his advisers. The papers general- ly expect to see him in some high position in the near future. It is understood that his Majesty is favorably disposed towards the Prince's ambitions, as he wants to ob- literate, in the German mind, the remem- brance of his estrangement with the Iron Chancellor, and wants to associate the name of Bismarck with his reign. The Agrarians, claiming Prince Bismarck as one of their men, would welcome his re- turn to pubile life as a victory. The Deutsche Tages Ze.tung thinks he wiil return to office only when convinced that he can carry out his ideas. The papers have not yet agreed as to what office is to be given to Pr.nce Bis- marck. Some of them give him one of the highest diplomatic postiions, where he can train for the Chanceiloreh p. His name is mentioned in connection with Washington, but others point out that there is no pros- pect of that post being vacant in the near future. as Dr von Aollenben has been highly succeasful. It is besjeved Prince Hismarck prefers London, where he has many aristocratic fr.ends, including Lord Roseberry. Some regard h.s appointment to a high horf® office more likeiy. BARTHOLDT IN GERMANY.

This story, to the disappointmeit of the local fans, proved a “pipe.” Had Ww er been traded the St. Louis Club would have profited greatly by the deal. Wagner is a hard and timely hitter, a fast fielder, and despite his size, a good man on the bases. If offered a cash consideration the Louisville management might be per- vaded to part with Wagner.

That ts the leading question in local boxing circles just now. They say that after George Dixon gets through with Tommy White at Denver he is coming here to meet Bernstein, the New York crack. A match between those two would certainly be a corker. At the Coney Island Club’s tournament in New York Monday night there will be two 2%-round contests that promise to be very lively. The first bout will be between Otto Sie- loff of Chicago and ‘“‘Matty’” Matthews. They will fight at 138 pounds. In the other event Frank Patterson of Brooklyn and ‘“Solly’ Smith of Los Angeles will ex- change blows.

Last Friday night at Chicago Jack Lew- is, who has hundreds of friends in St. Louis, outfought Ole Oleson throughout in the windup, and, although Oleson did as well as he was expected to do, Lewis had up a stout, game resistance. Walter Bloom was lucky enough to get a draw with Danny McMahon, the Phila- delphia boxer, MoMahon seemed to have a comfortable lead over Bloom for five rounds. In the sixth the men met in a head-on collision, from which Bloom emerged with a large gash on his forehead. which bled profusely.

A STARTLING STATEMENT. Chief Consul of L. A. W. Reported as Favoring the National Cycling Ass’n MILWAUKEE, July 8—‘In my opinion the National Cycling Association of Amer- ica will have the entire cottrol of racing after next February, and the control will be voluntarily turned over to that organi- zation by the League of American Wheel- men.”’ Thus spoke Chief Counsul Frank P. Van Valkenburgh of the Wisconsin division of the L. A. W. to a reporter for the Journal. Mr. Van \Valkenburgh believes that the time for the L. A. W. to give up contro] of cycle racing has come and that at the next assembly of the league the action will be taken. “The league has only been waiting for a competent organization to take charge of the sport,’’ continued Mr. Van Vailken- burgh, “and I am certain that the ‘out- laws have shown that they are competent to manage the sport, Since the acquisition to their ranks of some of the best wheel- men in the West they have grown more and more influential and I believe that they are now in a condition to assume the execu- tive control of racing and carry it on well. “IT hope that the league will turn the sport over to the ‘outlaws’ and in the fu- ture work in harmony with them. It would be of great benefit to the L.. A. W. and I expect that it will be done.’ Mr. Van Valkenburgh is eee, a party to go to the L. A. W. meet at Bos- ton in August end boom Milwaukee for 1900. The Citizens’ Business League is back- ing the move and will send a representa- tive to assist wheelmen to get the meet for Milwaukee next year. Van expects that about 40 members will go from here. At the present time there is no other city trying for the meet, and it is not likely that Milwaukee will have any great trouble in getting it. Nat McDougal and the Weber brothers are thinking of going to Boston and race in the amateur events. The wheelmen of Milwaukee have some- thing up their sleeves about a cycle track. One thing that is certain is that there will be a fine race track here next summer in time for the L. A. W. meet. Mr. Van Val- kenburgh admits that there is a plan un- der consideration, but says that it is not ripe. LOFTUS LIKES ROCK ISLAND. Columbus Baseball Manager May Ie- cate His Team in Dlinois.

This modli- fication is due to the fact that many for- mer owners of horses claim that their animals were taken not for purposes of war, but merely in revenge of private grievances, and they themselves were non- combatants, so that even, admitting the right of seizure for purposes of war, the insurgents’ ends having been gained, the horses, in cases where former ownership is proved, should be returned. Brigadier-General Randall has had all the barracks occupied by his command dis- infected, believing that prevention is bet- ter than cure. The local papers strongty urge the Marine Hospital Service to estab- lish @ quarantine against Vera Cruz, where the deaths from yellow fever average a day. The City of Havana is exceptionally healthful now, and it is thought that ar- rivals from Vera Cruz seriously menace the public health. The case of.yellow fever reported Thursday hag proved to be ty- phold. | Governor-General Brooke is studying yellow fever zones of Havana of pre’ years for the purpose of coverh an and unhealthful parts a y. ifteen hundred invitations were issued for the reception and ball given by |Gen.

AN EARLY HORNING FIRE Th> Bilinger Table Factory Has a Blaze Which Does $10,000 Damage. ave rm, Fire was discovered at 2 o'clock this morning in the fourth story of the table factory of the A. P. Bohlinger Manufac- turing Company, at Sixteenth and blar streets. T'wo alarms were turned in a were responded to by five ergines. The tire was difficult to ccmbat on ac- count of the inflammable material with which the building vas filled, and flames burst forth in many places after a stream of water had played on every floor for an hour. The firemen were still drenching the materials at 4 o’olock. k. The fourth story was filled with finished tables ,some of great value, and it is supposed they were completely ruined. The total damage will probably amount to $10,- oe part of which is covered by insur- The factory has been idle for several months and Mr. Bohlinger had employed a force of men with which to repone Mon- day. As no fires were built in the build- ing’s engines yesterday it is supposed the fire originated from sparks hurled to the roof by a Terminal Railroad engine, MOLINEUX FEELS BITTER. He Addresses“the Public, Declaring That He Is Persecuted. NEW YORK, July .8.—Messrs. Weeks, Battle and Marshall, counsel for Roland B. Molineux, to-night gave out a statement made by Mr. Molineux. After reviewing the death of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams, his quarrel with Harry Cornish and what he terms the persecution of the District At- torney’s office, he concludes: “I have no desire to blas the opinion o any one in regard to the charges agains me. I have absolute confidence that the charges will be ultimately dismissed, but wish to show that I have en, for some reason unknown to me, bitterly persecuted my business ruined, my family rendered ili and the character of my wife, which is dearer to me. than life, aspersed. I only ask for fair play and for the impartial] dis- position of the charges against me.” TAYLOR’S LEAD INCREASING. Will Have Votes to Spare in the Ken. tucky Republican Convention. FRANKFORT, Ky., July 8.—Conventions were held in the 10 remaining counties of there at least two centuries AMERICAN STORAG DYSPEPSIA CURE Thousands Spent in gearching for Pi- rate Gold. , James C. Hyde in Ainslee’s for July. To-day the Oak Island Treasure Company has a plant of two boilers, seven steam pumps, one hoisting engine, one steam drill and a force of 14 men. The latter work in two shifts, known as the way gang and the night gang. Several new te had been sunk, and a coffer dam has been built at Smith’s Cove to shut off the tide. It is this element which has constantiy broken the prasress of the work. The superintendent lieves that this obstacle will soon be quite surmounted, and then the way to wealth will be clear. The last find of importance was unearthed in November, 1897. From a depth of 16 feet the augurs brought up a wet scrap of parchment. The scrap meas- ured three-eighths of an inch in length, and one-half an inch in width; and bore the in- scription, “V. R.” You may a and see the treasure-seekers for yourself on the green little island, with a few ragged oaks at the west point, and a farm house and outbuildings at the other extremity. There are about 200 acres in all owned by three men, Maginnis, Sellers and Butler. At the highest point on the island, probably a hundred yards above tide water, are the works of the treasure company. The superintendent is an affable man, willing to show the visitor around, and to tell him about the search, generally hopeful about the outcome, but never much concerned if the visitor does not ehare his sanguine views. He will show you the shaft, ‘“‘money pit,”’ the abandoned pits, the boiler house and everything else of interest. You will hear the rumble of the heavy machin- | ery, you will see the workmen hauling away loads of earth and rock, and it will probably impress you as an every-day, busy scene such as you would expect to encounter at a coal or iron mine, ere is nothing par- ticularly mysterious or romantic about it— from the outside. But when you realize that deep down in that pit, probably 200 feet below where you etand, they are delv- ing night and day, rain or shine, for a vast amount of gold and precious stones secreted ago by black- ed, fierce-visaged pirates, then you rub your eyes and wonder if you have been dreaming. Is it possible that the humble sailor, who, on his deathbed divulged the Oak Island chart and the story of the bur- fed treasure, was a moralist, and did he have a precept to inculcate of man’s hun- ger for the impossible?

FARIS TREATY MERELY COON- FIRMS MILITARY OCCUPATION. Matter of a Proposed Reciprocity Ar- rangement With Jamaica to the Detriment of Porto Rico Causes the Filing of the ‘ Opinion. WASHINGTON, July 8 -—The Insular Commission has prepared an exhaustive opinion by which they hold that the islands in possession of the United States as a re- sult of the war with Spain are not part of the territory of the United States. Copies of this opinion have been furnished to the Secretary of War and the Attorney-General and it is surmised that the Attorney-Gen- eral will shortly prepare an official opinion on this important question. The commit- tee holds that there is a radical difference between territory a part ‘of the United States and territory in the possession of the United States. It has been universally cun- ceded that we may do what we please with the islands obtained from Spain. If this general op:nion is true, then they affirm the islands cannot be part of the United States, because no part of the United States can be alienated. This was weii settied by the war of secession. ithe Supreme Court has held that mili- lary Occupation does not exiend tne boun- daries of the United states and the com- mission claims that the Spanish cession merely cohiirmea our military occupation. ‘There Was noth.ng in the treaty ol i’aris Which made the isiands we obtained from Spain a part of our territory. in this re- Spect the treaty was markediy different from those by which we obtained Florida and Louisiana. | By the terms of both tHese latter treaties the territory acquired was to become part of the United Siates and the inhabitants thereof at the time of the cession were to be entitled to ail the privileges and: im- munities of citizenship. The situation with reference to Portv Rico, Hawali and the Philippines, the commission says, is praz- tically the same as that of the territory ac- quired from Mexico in the war of 154. ‘here was a military occupation of New Mexico for five years before Congress by enactment extended the sovereigniy of the laws of the United States over it and amai- Bamated it with the Unien. Once Porto itico and the other islands are recognized Operty cf the United States, the de- cision, the court holds, is irrevocable. All inWws of the United States are immediately extended Over the isiands, citizenship is con- ierred upon the inhabitants and commerce bet’ een the islands and the United States becomes free. Members of the commission believe that the courts of the United ~i:ntes in rendering a decision on this ques- would of necessity tollow the polit- ical policy of the Government. They have prepared a code of laws for extension over the isiands. With reference to the tariff duties, they belileve that much injury re- Buits frem the present condition. While military government has the power in Porto Rico, for instance, to reduce the tcriff on goods entering the island, it has no power to reduce the tariff wpon exports from the island to the United States. Therefore, they say, it would be mani- festiy unfair to negotiate’ reciprocity treatics at Barbadoes, Jamaica and other West Indies islands. by which they could get their products into the United States at lower rates than those which come from Porto Rico, It would be an wnjust dis- crimination against territery actually in our possession. They believe that reciproc- ity treaties could be negotiated with Porto Riso for mutual reduction on govuds com- ing from and going to the islands. CIGARMAKERS LOCKED OUT. Four Thousand Persons Thrown Out of Work at Tampa. TAMPA, Fla., July 8—A general lockout of clgarmakers occurred here to-day. Four thousand people are thrown out of em- ployment by the action of the leading fac- tories of the city. It means that fully $80,- 000 weekly will be withdrawn from circu- lation while the lockout is on. The manu- facturers decided on the step taken oniy after every possible effort had been made to adjust matters amicably with their employes. They conceded every point to the cigarmakers except that which de- manded the abolishment of the system of weighing fillers at the Manrara factory. On this point the split was made. The manufacturers refused to accede to the demand and the men refused to recede from their position. Twenty of the lead: ing factories closed to-day and others will follow. The suffering among the families of the cigarmakers wiil be intense within a week's time unless the lockout ia lifted. There ig much excitement tn the streets and meetings are being held by the cigar- makers in many parts of the city, but there has been no disorder thus far. FAMINE IN JAMAICA. ee Protracted Draught Has Ruifda the Coffee, Orange and Corn Crops. KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 8—The pro- tracted drouth in Southern Jamaica is causing widespread distress and alarm. The failing water supply of Kingston ne- cessitates a curtaflment of the service to 1s hours daily. The coffee, orange and corn crops are almost destroyed and the destruction of the native provision crops js causing a famine. The rural population js fleeing from the homesteads, seeking re- lief in town centers. Tune trouble is aug- mented by an outbreak of malarial fever through using putrid water. PARENTS AND TEACHERS.

WAS GOING TO LOS ANGELES. FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS AND A DIAMOND GONE. St. Louis Teacher Hid Her Valuables in Her Stocking, but They Dis- appeared on the Train Near Salt Lake City. Miss Margaret R. Ludlow, principal of the Lowell school, this city, lost #400 in money and a diamond ring yesterday morn- ing, while on a train between Glenwood Springs and Salt Lake City, Utah. Miss Ludlow was on her way, with other St. Louis school teachers, to Los Angeles, Cal., to attend the convention of the Na- tlonal Educational Asssociation. By rea- son of the loss she left the train at Salt Lake and is now on her way back to Bt. Louis. The average woman who travels has two favorite depositories for articles which she desires to hide from the inquisitive gaze of the public. One of these places is her stocking. Miss Ludlow, being an average woman, although a teacher of recognized abiilty, chose ner siocking as the safest place in which to hide her wealth. The money, which was all in good oid Missouri cash, was placed in a morrocco case. fut it dis- appeared—just how, Miss Luaiow is unabie to discover, Aifter racking her tired brain for 12 hours she was no nearer a solution of the problem than when she first dis- covered ‘her loss. iAt Glenwood Springs, Miss Ludlow said, she was advised by a lady companion to aiso place a valuable dlamond in the re- ceptacle with the money. She did so, or at least the ring was placed there, and she did not look after the money further until a few minutes before the train pulled into the Salt Lake Depot. A thoraqygh esearch was then made of the car, but no trace o! the money was found. From Glenwood Springs to Salt Lake Miss Ludlow rode in a day coach and was emphatic in the state- ment that she did not go to eleep en route. She intended visiting Yellowstone Park after the convention at Los Angeles, but owing to the loss of her funds she changed her mind and started home iast night. The Rio Grande Western Ratiroad Co. did a graceful act in taking up the re- a of her ticket and paying her or it. Miss Ludlow has been connected with the public school system of St. Louis for many years and is one of the best-known educators in Missour!l. She has been prin- cipal of the Lowell schoo! for several] years. She resides at 3517 Bailey avenue, but spends much of her time with her relatives in St. (Louls County. She is a diamond fancier and owned sev- eral hundred dollars’ worth of jewels, which she always wore. She left St. Lou's last week for s Angeles, but her route called for visits to several points of inter- est in Colorado and Utah. ‘This is not Miss Ludlow’s first experi- ence at losing money while traveling. She was robbed of considerable cash and jew- elry last year while return'ng to St. Louis from Europe. ROGERS OUT IN EXPLANATION. He Says That States Cannot Possibly Control the Trusts. OLYMPIA, Wash., July 8.—Gov. Rogers to-day gave out for publication a letter to Gov. Sayers of Texas, in explanation of his unwillingness to participate in the pro- posed convention on the subject of State control of trusts. He says: ‘The trust evil is to be made a political question. Of this there can be no doubt. I do not believe it wise for those who are opposed to the Republican party to assist that perez in its evident attempt to tem- vorarily evade the issue by proposing State egislation as a remedy, knowing that this must prove in the end ineffective.’’ Gov. Rogers takes issue with the conten- tion that if the general government cannot regulate trusts the different States can. He refers to amendments 9 and 10 of the Fed- eral Constitution, which, it appears to him. are clearly intended to make effective the spirit and the letter of the Declaration of Independence regarding inalienable rights, among which is the fundamental] natural right to buy and sell and make combina- tions not inimical to the public good Spmeuing. he says: “A great matority of trusts will " ever, unquestionably be able to ~ pea the satisfaction ot the United States Su- reme Court at least, that by the use of arge capital and improved methods they have reduced the cost of their production and are thus a benefit and not a detriment to the general public.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS ASKED. Charles M. Sheldon, the Famous Auth. or of “In His Steps,” Is the Pro- moter of the Proposition. DETROIT, July 8—Charles M. Sheldon, the famous author of “In His Steps,”’ has started a movement in Detroit for the es- tablishment of a Ohristian daily newspa- per, backed by $1,000,000 in capital, that shall be established, preferably in Chicago, and which shall print no news except that which wil] influence the minds and hearts of its readers to their noblest impulses. The Topeka’ author-minister asked for some one to come forward and promise to furnish the capital. He appealed as a fa- ther for this utopian idea at two meetings and got no answer. He declares that he will keep up the search until he loses all faith in the charity and courage of man. On the heels of this he says he is an opti- mist and believes the time is at hand for this reform in journalism, He wants a paper that is modern in every department; one, however, that is Chris- tian in every department. He wants @ Christian publisher, a Christian editor-in- chief, a Christian managing editor, and so on, in the various editorial and reportorial functions, He stated at a ministers’ meeting at the First Presbyterian Church to-night that the managing editor of a large Topeka paper had just informed him that he cannot run his paper and make it pay on a Chris- tian basis; that man has declared he is willing to give up his present work on the so-called secular press and manage a papes as enterprising and newsy as any, ut liberally censored by a broad-gauged re- ligionist. ‘Who in this audience will give $1,000,000?" was the question he fired direct into the faces of his astonished auditors. There was a hush as oppressive as that which settles ove: a village meeting when the chief functionary arises to announce his appointments to local offices. No one replied, and the Topekian went on to inform his listeners that he was not surprised, but that he intended to hammer at the proposi- tion until a tangible result was brought abou't. He made a similar vain attempt this afternoon, and gives every indication of be- ing a zealot, as it were, on this novel scheme. Dr. Sheldon has developed into the star of this annual convention. His books, it would seem, have been as generally read as they are advocated to be in the papers, for when- ever his name is announced there is almost frantic applause and invariably a great au- dience to drink in every word of his ad- dresses. It would surprise no one in touch with the situation if he made the announce- ment that he had received the financial backing sufficient to start his newspaper, without political favoritism, excepting where the politics means the advancement of Christian principles, minus sensational- ism that appeals to the lower nature, and a mirror of society in high life as it is. Dr. Sheldon says: ‘I want to say that this newspaper idea will be real in a few years, I have had letters from newspaper men in every part of the country saying that they are wiiling to resign their positions and go on the staff of just such a paper as lI speak of.’ Dr. Sheldon in his address also talked atelength on his study of eight classes of peopie with whom he has dwelt and worked for the par peee of ob8erving their oppor- tunities for learning of Christ. He said he spent a week each with the followin crafts: The street railway men, steam rail- read employes, lawyers, doctors, newspuper men, merchants, and also with collegians and for two weeks among the negro popu- lation of Topeka. He stated that in all the professions and in the trades there is a deplorable lack of Christian practice. He asserted that in a personal canvasa along the principal business streets of his home city—a highway a mile in length—he found only two merchants who would say that they ran their business on the same standard as Jesus mig‘at. He said that most physicians don't know how to pray ard never think of using prayer at the bed- side; he suid that he asked a number of lawyers prominent in their profession if they ever discussed Christ and religion in their offices and they flushed and were silent with shame. He “let down’’. the newspapcr people rather ligiitly, but scored them_for oversiating facts and for writing yarns founded on facts, but grossiy. dis- torted. ASSAULTED BY A FOOTPAD. Purse Snatched From Miss Annie Bauer at Broadway and Park and the Thief Captured. A footpad assaulted Miss Annie Bauer at Broadway and Park avenue at 9:15 o'clock last night and snatched her purse, contain- ing $1.7% and a gold chain. Miss Bauer lives at 3644 Russell avenue. She was in company with her cousins, Misses Pauline and Maggie Bauer, of 2344 Whittemore place. They were walking leis- urely north on Broadway and the footpad had snatched the purse and was off before they realized what had taken place, The alarm was given and Policeman Han- rahan joined in the chase. At- Third and Merchant etreets the policeman overhauled the fugitive and took him to the Third Dis- trict Police Station, where he was identified by the three Misses Bauer. He gave the name of Michael Finnigan, 20 years old, and said he lived at 927 Rutger street. TOLEDO’S EXPOSITION. Compromise Effected and Bonds Will Be Issued.

It was generally ex- pected when Herr Hoffmeyer, the Afrik- ander leader, and President Steyn of the Orange Free State, conjointly exerted pres- sure upon President piper. the latter would be obliged to concede what they de- manded, as the price of Dutch unity in South Africa.

Lord George Hamilton, Secretary of State for India, in a speech Wednesday, described ee feeling, by saying: “T am sertain no government could re- main in office if they attempted in any way to run away from the enforcement of Sir Alfred Milner’s des a's pega The double Liberal victory at the Oldham election July 6 is taken, in conjunction with other recent bye elections and votes in the House of Commons, as being most humiliating to the ministry, and there are signs in many directions that the Liberal Unionists are asking themselves why they are sitting on the Tory benches and sup- poreng measures exemplifying the old and discredited devices of Conservatism. The Liberals are exulting and even go to the extent of predicting an early dissolution. It is rumored the Cabinet meeting of Tuesday was stormy, and that many dif- ferences developed, but so long as the min- jistry can adjust its differences it is prob- able that a dissolution will not occur be- fore the autumn of 1900. BRUSSELS, July 8.—The Transvaal Dip- lomatic Agency here has published the text of President ruger’s message of July 1 to the Raad. The first amendment to the franchise bill provides that persons who do not wish to become naturalized in the manner fixed by the present law may ob- tain the franchise by taking the oath after a@ seven years’ notice of residence. The law is so far retroactive that persons who, before the law comes into force, shall have taken up their residence in the Transvaal] may obtain the full franchise nine years after the establishment of their domicile, or five years after the law comes into force. provided they have been settled sev- en years in the Republic. The Volksaad ap- proved the amendments, which will be drafted into the Dill. LONDON, July 9.—A especial dispatch from Rome says that the German steamer Reichstag has sailed from Naples with 15,000 rifles, 509 tons of war material and 50) mules for the Transvaal.

PRETORIA, July 8.—After an all-day se- cret session, the Volksraad to-day appoint- ed a committes of five to draft a franchise reform bill. The Government proposals comprise a re- vision of the registration act and provide for the outlanders cbtaining the franchise by nine years’ residence. They are to be allowed to exercise the right immediately. HAY NEVER REGAIN’ SIGHT. Toy Pistol Exploded in the Face of a Ten Months’ Old Baby Boy May Have Blinded Him For Life. The accidental discharge of a toy pistol in the hands of Miss Edith Saxon may cause the 10-months-old baby boy of John Rooney to be blind for life. Miss Saxon lives at 136 Graham avenue. She was visiting at the Rooney house at 1802 Graham avenue. Mrs. Rooney was in the yard, with her baby in her arms. Miss Saxon was toying with a small revolver. Suddenly it was exploded, There was no ball in the weapon, but it was so close to the baby’s face that the powder flashed into its eyes. The child cried with pain and a physician was called. He made a brief examination and saw that the burns were serious and the child was taken to an oculist, who said the baby might never re- gain its sight. RIOTOUS CONVENTION.

CLEVILAND, O., July 8—The Demo- cratic County Convention, which lasted from 10 o’clock this forenoon until late this evening, and which developed into a contest between the McLean and anti-Mc- Lean factions of the party, was a riotous assemblage. ‘There were dozens of fist fights, and late this afternoon half a hun- dred delegates wegen fighting with chairs.

RECALLS A FAMOUS OPERA. j Just as the Singer of Dresden Ca 14 to the End, so, Probably, Did Young Jennie Horn. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., July 8.—The body of Miss Jennie L. Horn was this wek found in the cellarway of Mr. Frederick Bron- son's residence, where she was employed &3 a dressmaker. A strong piece of tape was tied round her neck, while another Piece of tape similar to that round her neck was suspended from the window of the room she had occupied, on the third floor, to the level of the first floor window. Investigation showed that one end of the tape was fastended to the bed post of Miss Horn’s bed, and it became evident that she had either fallen or walked out of the win- dow of her room. Miss Horn who was an attractive young woman of 2 years, came here a fortnight ago highly recommended from Berlin. She told one of the servants that she was a sleepwaiker, expressing the fear that she would sometime meet her death in her noc- turnal wanderings. | It is now generally agreed by men of science that natural somanambubiens| is a dream in action. Like other dreamers somnambulist are not gifted with the facuity of prevision, nor are they privileged to know what is going on within themselves. But withithem external sensations either find a subsidiary lace or fail altogether to reach the mind. he ordinary sleepwalker is lost to every- thing but the idea that happens to be su- preme in his thoughts, They do not see with the eye, but with the mind, and cases have been known where men — in their sleep continued to write when a shade was placed between their eyes and the ee on which they were writing. sudden awakening or surprise is the real danger in sleepwalking. It is believed here that the cause of Miss Horn’s death at Greenfield Hill was due to her being awakened while on her walk—that the tape which she had tied around her neck and fastened to the bed post for the purpose of wakening her brought her out of her sleep suddenly while in a perilous position. In the sudden awakening she lost her self- possession and fell to the ground, where she was found dead in the morning. | The case that seems to come nearest to that of Miss Horn is the incident at Dren- den upon which Bellini founded his opera, ‘La Somnambula.”’ Roof-walking has always been one of the commonest developments of sleep-walking. A German philosopher, Burdach, who noted the propensity of somnambulists to walk on the roofs of houses imputed it to the attraction of the moon. Jennie Horn walked in the light of a full moon. 60 did the young girl at Dresden, whoge perilous feats and tragic death gave the inspiration for one of the most popular operat’c works of the century. Three generations of opera- goers have been thrilled by the bravura singing of sleep-walking prima donne. hether Jennie Horn was a roof-walker is not certain, but all the circumstances scem to indicate that she was. Her own fears for her life show that she was con- seious of performing some very perilous féats in her sleep. te is probable that in her previous dreams she had explored the houses in which she lived and that it was to prevent her from going far from her own room in her new abode that she tied one end of the tape around her neck and fastened the other end to the bed post. Miss Horn might have gone to the roof and returned safely but for the tape that she had fastened to her neck as a pre- caution. When she reached the end of the string the tension of the tape suddenly awoke her and losing her self-possession she fell to the ground and was killed, just as the Dresden girl, who awoke and losing her self-possession, fell to the street when she saw the light in her bed room, ELECTRICITY TO REFRIGERATE.

Ccmmissioner Harris’ Address on Nor. mals and Child Study. LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 8.—At the Na- tional Council of Education to-day Hon. W. T. Harris, United States Commissioner of Education, read a paper upon “The Fu- ture of the Normal School.” Mr. Harris devoted the principal part of his paper to the new educational methods which the study of the art of education is a out. “Under the movement known as ‘c id study,’'’ he said, ‘“‘which devotes itself to learning the natural history of infancy, childhood and youth, will be discovered the lawe of development. “Besides ‘child study’ there is progress in the invention of devices of instruction, They will make the child imore self-active in the process of learning and not so de- endent upon the teacher’s power of il- ustrating. A good teacher ulres the reflective habit ay formed. The normai school must make its pupils observant of methods.” Finally Mr. Herris said: ‘The future history of the normal school] will show the gradual adoption of the Kulture-Geschicht standpoint—the decision of ail educational questions in the light of the history of civ- ijlizgation as a court of last resert." The opening of the general sesion of the National Education Association will be held Tuesday afternoon. Mrs BStickney told of 10 families, num bering from four to fifteen, living in two rooms of tenement houses. She said: ‘These families have little practical knowledge of buying or cooking whole- some food. The one absorbing thought is how to t a jJiving, and the aim in rear- ing children is to get them to work se that they pay back what has been done for them. e children are kept in school by the truant officer until they are 14 or large enough to be, then graduated into the fac. tory. They are without any domestic edu- cation and seldom become se servants These people have abundant church priv- jleges and often are church-goers, Their social opportunities is the a -night ball, which many girls attend twice a week. It is through the avenues of the pubtic schools with domestic training and a great. er intimacy between echool and home that improvement is to be 80 . At 8 o'clock to-night the second meeting of the council was held. At this meeting the time was oted. THE NEW MONROE SCHOOL. ‘ 1t Will Be Opened Monday Afternoon! for Inspection. WwW. B. Ittner, Building Commissioner of the School Board, will open the new Mon- ullding, at the corner of Broadw roe wenoe st. Louis avenue Monday after- noon for public scientific methods as employed by Prof. The German Institute of Scientific Magnetic Healing and the Grand Work That It is Doing. No greater progress has been made during the last quarter of a century in any department of human affairs than in that which has to do with the treat- ment of diseases and the alleviation of the woes of the sick and suffering. The days when doctors poured drugs, of which they knew little, into bodies of which they knew less, are fast being left in the background, and to-day our most successful practitioners depend very lit- tle upon drugs, but believe thoroughly in the efficiency of nature to effect its own cures. | : An excellent illustration of the modern Waldo, at the head of the German Scien- tific Institute of Magnetic Healing, at 2007 Olive street, who, through his treat- ment, utilizing as he does his wonderful power of human magnetism, together with massage, is accomplishing more good than all the doctors of medicine; particularly is. this true in the case of all chronic diseases, he having effected through his humane treatment some truly marvelous cures—marvelous when it is a well-known fact that several of our most able practitioners had given u the cases alluded to as — Prof. Wal- do’s patients come from all walks in life, and from all parts of the globe, for so great is the professor's power that he can treat patients by mail as well as at his office. A strong assertion, but never- theless it is true, as can be conclusively proven to all who will take the trouble to investigate. Prof. Waldo’s marvel- lous powers can be attributed in no oth- er way than as a natural gift of God, and the people are fast finding it out, as case | after case is cured absolutely by him. Magnetic Healing is certainly the treat- ment of the future. but it 1s a compara- tively few of the so-called magnetic heal- ers that possess the power—at least as does Prot Waldo, and therein lies his great success. To be sure, the doctors of medicine have not a great deal to sa in its favor, they know only too wal that when it becomes as widely known as it ought to be that they may as well “shut up eri Like Othello’s, their occupation will be gone. Prof. Waldo is always pleased to give any desired information regardin ag- netic Healing, or, better still, will put its virtue to the test and demonstrate con- clusively what he can do. The reporter who visited the world’s famous healer asked him if he would not reduce his prices for a short time so as to give any one an opportunity to visit him and be cured.

Carlisle, has been in the Klondike 13 months and has had @ome of the most trying and exciting expe- riences that can come to a man in that home of roughness and riches. Before leav- ing St. Louis ‘he was a clerk in the Conti- nental Bank. He sought a fortune in Alaska accompanied by another young St. Loulsan, 6. Newman Sherzer of 692 Cote Brilliante avenue. : After reaching St. Michael's, near the Mouth of the Yukon River, they engaged passage up the stream to a certain point, ‘where they intended to disembark and take @& northwesterly course across a new part of the country, instead of going to the over- worked diggings around Dawson City. At St. Michael's they engaged two expe- riendced Kiondike miners, Doring and Cal- kins, to assist them in prospecting. Lari- gore and Shergzer engaged cabin passage for themselves on the steamer. When they were ready to retire the captain informed them that they would have to sleep on Geck. It seemd a swindling scheme from the start, for about 150 other men were either turned away or denied the kind of transportation agreed upon after having paid their money. In company with a few others Larimure and Sherzer determined ee m= they paced the deck and demanded te rt themselves. With drawn revoly- Avenue. the village of Unalaklik. They left there Dec. 1, 1898, and during the 62 days fol- lowing traveled 585 miles, mostly on foot. Very little does young Larimore say of conditions which “Juld seem well nigh ap- palling at this GYtance. He barely men- tions the cob’, though at times the mercury registered 62 Gegrees below zero. Once his left hand and one Side of his face were frozen, and he could barely move his eyes. In a letter to his mother, which seems to be & copy of his diary, Mr. Larimore disposes of situations like these in a single sen- tence. More than once they slept without bedding and went without food or fire. On their journey from Unalaklik to the north- west they traveled 316 miles; the distance returning was 269. In all that distance they went through an open country and they ob- tained wood only with the greatest diffi- culty, The only trees visible were those ' Browing on the banks of the small streams they crussed. Mr. Larimore and his partner staked out eight claims. It was then the dead of win- ter and too cold to work them, but when the Alaskan spring opened up they returned to the northwest and are there now. Mr. Larimore expects to be in St. Louis next October. He ig 39 years old. in the last letter he wrote to his mother he gives the following description of his trip along the frozen coast, written two days after his return: BY LEON A. LARIMORE.

In the two miles we hauled that day we found that we had un- dertaken a big job, as the hauling was very hard and our load very heavy. The next day we made Egowik and slept in a native house very tired; December 3 we made the steamer, and Newman and lI slept in a vacant shanty while the other two slept in the steamer. December 4, after having gone a quarter of a mile, we started back to help the other two over some bad places where the ice was piled high. You must understand we followed the beach as a rule and the ice was often piled % or 30 feet high. This was the case where the mountains ran out to the sea and ended in an abrupt cliff. While going back the dog broke loose and started on the run to- ward Unalaklik. After a talk, I started back 2 miles for him, while Newman pitched camp and waited. I arrived at Unalaklik at about 5 o’clock, pitch dark, and so foot sore and stiff that I could hardly walk. Went to Mr. Carlson's and asked to be taken in, as I had no bedding and the back of my left hand frozen. Ther- mometer 2 degres below zero for three or four days. Started back on Dec. 5: made Egowik at 3; met some white men and they ‘“grubbed”’ me for the night and lent me a blanket. Dec. 6 started again at daylight and made the steamer about 10, when we packed the sled and made about eight miles and camped, snow falling. Dec. 7 we made Snak- tolik in a blizzard; laid up one day; started Dec. 9; made about six miles; camped on the portage. Dec. 10 went about eight miles over the portage. Mr. Calkins gave out; we camped; no wood to make fire: passed a bad night; tent blew down about daylight. We made three or four miles to the bay and camped; laid up one day and passed a small bay; camped, waiting one day for a good one to start across Norton Bay; started; made about 2 miles and about sundown struck open water, which scared us a great out of the wind. We had two tent poles, which we chopped up to make tea and cook bread and bacon enough for breakfast. The next morning we started back for the shore that we left, and made there after dark; pitched camp in a blizzard and stayed there two days waiting for the wind to stop. Mr. Calkins was about played out and said he would go no further. Newmap and I were still determined, and Mr. Doring, after thinking it over, wanted to go. We put his bedding ,etc., on our sled and started across again, heading farther up the bay, where we learned there was no open water. The wind was blowing pretty hard and Doring’s face froze at least ten times during the day; Newman's face several times; and my nose and around the eye once. We made shore after dark, each one so stiff that we had to run up and down every few minutes while we were getting up the tent and stove and starting a fire—12 degrees below zero. Went around a point and camped again. During the night we got very cold and had to get up and start a fire; 52 below; went across a small bay to a deserted vil- lage and camped. The next day made Tobuktolik and found four white men in a cabin. This was a haven and we stayed there three days wait- ing for Doring’s face to heal, as we were afraid to take him out. He could not see. The next day was Christmas, the gloomiest I ever spent. We had a mince ple for din- ner, which was extra, 48 our regular fare was bacon, tea, rolled oats and bread. Dec. 2 we reached Queenruk, the next de- serted village; the next We camped on a portage, a mountain over 1000 feet high at the t-mber line. The next day we camped at Dealers’ Golovin Bay, about 6 in the even- ing, nearly starved and frozen. We had @ fine supper and ate until we were ashamed of ourselves. Jan, 2 we started across Golovin Bay; made that and the portage and camped at the village. Mr, Doring made arrangements Doring and Calkins; and Newman and I and our @og on the other. We each had « + af, tie Pens ete ale " * ‘ + sti ea way by a group of mén who enjoy good fishing—big game fishing. For years tar- pon-fishing off the coast of Florida has been a recognized sport, but the supply of the fighters has diminished steadily, un- til to-day captures there are rare. But, during the improving by the government of Aransas Pass, on the. Texas coast, during recent years, it was ascertained that the tarpon was plentiful in those wa- ters, all the way from Galveston down. Ed Green, son of the well-known Hetty Green, is president of a railroad that touches Aransas Pass, or Rockport rather, which is the town’s name, He is a thor- ough sportsman, and a favorite pastime of his is game-fishing. He took to the tarpon- ishing at once, and soon was taking parties of congenial friends down to Rockport in his private car, there to enjoy this royal sport. One of these parties included R. ©. Kerens and a crowd of politicians from here. Others were made up of railroad men, bankers, good fellows generally. The accommodations at Rockport were not adequate to this influx of wealthy strangers, so out of the necessity grew the Tarpon Club. For its membership, about 400, the club did not confine itself to any one vicinity or even any onee State. Men from all over the country belong to it, and it might well be called the United States Club and not be misnamed. On its lists are such men as Mark Hanna, Matthew Quay, Stephen B. Elkins, R. C. Kerens, E. H. R. Green of Texas, Forsyth, receiver of the Kansas City, Pittsburg &. Gulf; E. L. Martin, vice-president of that road; W. H. and Walter Woodward, J. C. Van Blarcom, H. C. Townsend and many others of St. Louis—in fact, well known railroad and professional men from all over the country. The club building itself is-a beauty. It is two stories high, with a mansard story above that and a basement below. The building is L shaped, the angle facing the sea, and has broad verandas on each floor. At one end of the L the lower floor ver- anda extends under the upper story lodg- ing rooms, making an open space 42x62 feet. The office is 60 feet long; the din- ing room 68 feet and the kitchen nearly ® feet from it, theugh under the same roof. The entire structure is 176 feet long, on the stem of the L, and 1s feet 6 inches on the base. In the office is a huge old-time fireplace, which will hold logs four feet long, and surounding it are lockers for tackle, signal flags and other fishing appurtenances. A buffet cares for the cravings of the fisher- man for ‘‘wet goods,’’ and the polished floors of the dining rooms and the verandas afford accommodations for dancers, as well as space for hammocks, lounging chairs and cozy nooks. The second floor has 18 sleeping rooms, parlor, baths and storerooms. This floor has a 12-foot veranda, on which every room opens, In the large tower is a search light, and from the top of the tower the club flag floats from a 30-foot pole. The building is of wood, resting on 11- inch piling, planted hydraulically, The main part is of siding, the roof of shingles, The interior is finished in beaded wainscoting, oil finished on the first floor, painted on the second. The tower balcony is 6 feet from the ground. The main body of the house is white, green trimmed; the roof is red.

Mr. Jennings soon discovered that if a Camera was held in a rigidly still position the flash recorded would be a continuous line, but if a camera swung with a free motion the flash was a series of detached This is the founda- tion discovery of the scientist, and it was this that so Ceeply interested other scient- ists, Mr. Jennings’ work has shown that light- ning is wavy, not zig-zag; that the so- called tree marke on the bodies of people struck by Hghtning are not connected with trees in the vicinity, and that the electric flash is not one continuous discharge, but many intermittent flashes. Mr. Jennings thus describés the results to be obtained. and the means by which he has Obtained them: “If the camera be quickly moved across the path of what appears a single discharge of lightning,’’ he said, “ite poly-phase character will be revealed in the form of a series of parallel lines on the photographic plate. The conducting path itself may. be moved by the wind, and the subsequent discharges occurring at brief intervals will have the same general out- lines. Such a stratified discharge due to the wind is often seen, and may be called ‘stratified lightning.’ ‘During a severe thunderstorm, when the w:nd is blowing a gale, the conducting path is broadened, and the discharge, instead of a series of stratified lines, will fill the en- tire gap in the form of a broad ribbon, to LIGHTNING DISCHARGE FIVE MILES LONG. which I have given the name of ‘ribbon lightning.’ ’’ Mr, Jennings first undertook the task of capturing on a photographic plate the auto- graph of Jove to demonstrate that a light- ning discharge is curved and not angular. “Upon following up the subject,” said Mr. Jennings, “and never missing an opportuni- tv of placing upon permanent record the phases of thunderstorms, the conclusion has been reached that the so-called zig-zag lighting exists only in the imagination of the artist, and that the Jovian fight, instead of awkward and spasmodic, is one of grace and beauty. “Lightning is usually so vivid and evanes- cent that although one imagines he has seen the flash it may be a preconceived .m- LIGHTNING AND CLOUD EFFECTS. age that flashes into his mind, he eye can be educated to note many déetaljls of a flash, minute branches, stratified lings, deli- cate shades of color, which otherwise would pass unnoticed. : “The ‘tree marks’ often found upon the bodies of. persons struck by lightning are not photographs of images of real trees in the neighborhood, but the ramifications of the electrical discharge over the semi-con- ducting surface of the flesh followjng the line of least resistance. ‘When lightning has once leaped] a gap and carved a path in space that line serves as a link along which at intervals the elec- trical energy oscillates, each {mpulse (known as a flash of lightning) being prac- tically instantaneous,”’ TREE LIGHTNING. ° It took Mr. Jennings two years to learn. how to photograph lightning. The difficulty lay in knowing where to point the camera, It is different from photographing a baby. The photographer always knows where the baby is, which is more than he can say about lightning.

He will begin his investigations near e6 Musters and ©olhuapi, in the Pata- Mian pampas. Here the geological form- Mien ie very ancient and the possibility of enimals elsewhere extinct is con- i | The recent history of the various attempts to find a live neomylodon is extremely in- teresting. The scene of operations has been Patagonia, the wild southernmost part of South America. It was there that the megatherium flourished, and it {s there alone that one may expect to find the live neomylodon., In the spring of 1893 the exploring ship AZo- pardo stopped at the little port of Caleto. Captains Martin and Mascarillo were in- formed by Capt. Elberath, a German col- onist, of a mysterious cave a few miles in- land. They visited the place and found the entrance almost hidden by trees. When they entered a splendid vision met their eyes. An enormous arch at least 1000 feet in diam- eter spread above them. The roof was cov- ered with stalactites, through which a to- paz light shone. giving the place the as- pect of a vast Brahminic temple. The original floor of the grotto was hid- den by a mass of rocks and detritus. At the far end an opening appeared which could only be reached by crawling on all fours, sehind an enormous rock the explorers found a piece of parchment-like material covered with a few hairs and alfout 3 inches thick. They showed it to Dr. Dusen of the Nordenskjold expedition, who pronounced it very curious, but could not classify it. He sent it to Dr. Aneghino, who immediately pronounced it to be a piece of the skin of a neomylodon, Dr. Moreno went to London with the skin and a conference of scientists was held upon the subject. The conclusion reached was that the animal was a genuine neomy- lodon, that it had died within comparatively recent times, and that it was probable living specimens were still in existence, The identity of the animal was further assured by the Swedish explorer, Nordensk- jold, who cleared out the detritus encumber- ing the grotto and recovered the entire skel- eton of the creature. The cartilage of the frame was still in existence, showing the animal could not have been dead very long. The neomylodon had bones more massive than those of the elephant. Its hind limbs were three times the thickness of those of an elephant, and its tail was proportionately heavy. It was provided with powerful claws and a long tongue. Its peculiar construc- tion made it very slow of motion. The megatherium became extinct ages ago from the lack of suitable nourishment and the drouth common in South America. The neomylodon, it has been supposed, also per- ished at a later day from the same causes. If there are any now left alive, they are but belated survivors of their race. - These gigantic creatures were nearly iden- tical in form with the modern sloths, those little creatures whose name was given to them on account of their supposed idleness, but who are really models of industry. Concerning the region where Mr. Caven- dish has gone, the great Darwin wrote: -“The number of the remains of these quadrupeds embedded in the vast estuary deposits which form the Pampas and cover the granite rocks of Banda Orientale must be extraordinarily great. I believe that a straight line drawn in any direction through the country would cut through some skele- ton or bones. “We may conclude that the whole area of the Pampas is one wide sepulcher of these extinct gigantic quadrupeds.” GHOST DANCING ON T 4E RESERVATION. eturaneen ell ll ll q ——_ | , . ) Indian dances.) GAIN reports from the West give A color to the rumor that an Indian uprising is at hand. The ceremonial of the ghost dance is on. To the unitiated this would appear unimportant, but those versed in Indian nature know that it is al- ways a harbinger of evil; a brewer of ‘‘bad medicine.” A recent telegram in the Post-Dispatch contained the information that several bands of Utes have gathered together on the White River Reservation of the Vintah tribe and are now going through the va- rious forms and rituals preseribed by the medicine men for the propit‘ation of the “Great Spirit,’ previous to going on the warpath. Sawowece, the “big chief,”” a vet- eran fighter and of great cunning, who, in addition to being the supreme leader is also a medicine man, has had dreams. In these, he told his followers, he was 4as- sured by the spirits of their departed fore- ' fathers that he was destined to lead them | | back to their former homes in Colorado. This was not to be accomplished, however, without bloodshed and a necessary prelim- inary to battle is the tribal dance. The White River, Uncompahgre and Utin- tah bands of the Utes have accordingly come togetber that they might be led back to their promised land. With these have come many of the wild Indians from the Badlands of the Dakotas, and the outlook is most discouraging to the settlers in the vicinity,, who have but one troop of cav- alry to protect them, the balance of the soldiers having reeently been withdrawn by order of the War Department. As the In- dians number, with their squaws, over 2000, it is readily seen that no adequate defense could be made. The Utes have ever been known for their warlike proclivities, and, in the early his- tory of the country, were owners of a large part of the West, to a portion of which, with their pristine glory, old Sawowee | gays he will restore the present generation. eS —— ‘ o> .

In the barbaric devices that play an im- portant part in the religious observances incidental to the great ghost dance is @ totem of a snake. This is believed to be a form of the Manitou, or Great Spirit, which presides over the destiny of war, and consequently high honor is rendered it.

The colors are red, yellow, green and blue, these be- ing supposed to be conducive to the spir- jitual as well as the physical welfare. The dance begins either in the middle of the afternoon or immediately after sun- down. When finaly all is ready and the thousand details have reached completion, the people are summoned by criers, espe- cially selected for the duty, which must be performed in a certain manner. Amid a dead silence, the leaders walk ovt from the vast gathering and, facing in- ward, join hands so as to farm a small circle. Then, without stirring a muscle, they sing the opening eong in a low, croon- ing undertone. The words are something like this: “Hi, hi, hi, hi-yah, hi-yah! He, he, he, he-ee, he-ee!" Following this they raise their voices and repeat the same song, this time slowly cir- cling around to the left, always moving that foot first, following it with the right in a peculiar kind of shuffle. (The move- ment to the left ‘is following the course of the sun.) Gradually, as the song proceeds, the circle becomes enlarged. A noteworthy feature is. the fact that each time the leader returns to Wis original position the chant is started afresh, first in an undertone, which becomes increscent with the more rapid movement of the dancers.

N spite of the fact that women are looked down upon as the uninventive sex they have a fairly good number of inventions set down to their cred t. In fact, the exhibitions ‘n the Patent Of- fice at Washington show not only that women are much busier in invention than is generally supposed, out that the re- Sults are frequently of importance. Women inventors did not appear in any considerabie numbers until a generat.on ago. Of the hundreds of women’s patents exhibited at Washington n.ne-tentlis have been issued within the yast 9 years. At present woman has found so sure a mar- ket for the results of her inventiveness that severa!) patents are granted to women every week. Wemen when they turn inventors do not eR cR x a4S occupy themselves exclusively with curling- ties, tongs and clothespins. Many of them take out patents on agricultural implements, min:ng machinery, electrical contr.vances and the like. Among the women who have patented valuable inventions during the past few months are Julia E. Meyenberg of Chi- cago, who secured a patent on bul.ding blocks arranged to lock together; Abby 8S. Vose of Providence, who patented an improved buttonhole cutting machine, Cecilla A. Brewer, who invented an -R- tricate and highly tmproved washing ™&a- chine, and Minerva R. Buckley, who in- vented a water filter. This activity on the part of women = usually rich in results. The inventors themselves sometimes secure large royal- and more frequently still, the Inven- tions are of so practical a nature that the labor of thousands of women is lessened by their introduction. There are more than a hundred women who receive big incomes every year from tneir patents, and there are other patenis which will y:e.d sumLar fortunes when they are set afloat. One woman draws $3000 a year for an im- proved giove buttoner. A paten.ed waist supporter is supply.ng another woman with @ generous amount of pin money. The in- vention of new games and toys for children supplies many women with a regu.ar in- come. In fact, all that women accomplish in this iine ‘3 not known, because often the inventions are bought direcily by the firms which intend to use them, and the inventor's name never appears. A line where women are becoming in- creasingly inventive is that of patent medl- cines, complexion cures, soaps and péer- fumes. ee ae 2 DREAM THOUGHTS ARE WEIRD NONSENSE You Dream Great Poems, but on Paper Their Greatness Vanishes. HAT might happen to some of our dreams if we could only analyze them! A well-known scientific author, after a period of long-continued and exhaustive writing, found himse.f for the first time in his life troubled by dreams, in which he wrote, as he thought the most brillant and convincing arguments supporting his favor- ite theories. The next morning, however, he could remember nothing of these dream | creations, save that they had been written on certain subjects, and exceeded in clever- ness anything that he had produced in his waking hours. This troubled him greatly, and he frequently expressed the wish that he could have the power given him to tran- scribe at once the elusive train of reason- ing which he felt convinced would add so materially to h‘s reputation. Hop.ng that some t:me he might awake and remember his arguments, he put at his beside every oight writing materials with a candle and some matches. ‘One night he was overjoyed to find that he awoke sud- denly with all his faculties in their normal condition, at the same t.me remembering in its entirety a wonderfully well-reasoned- out treatise that he had composed in his sleep. He proceeded to write it down at once. After having filled several sheets with the closely written composition, he put out his candle and composed h'mself to sleep, and th's time enjoyed a deep, quiet dreamless rest until morning, when he awoke, recollecting perfectly the events of the night before. He reached out eagerly for his papers, expecting the essay to be ex- ceptionaiiy clever and lucid, but what Was his astonishment and disappo_:ntment when he found that he had covered h.s sheets with pure gibberish—a jargon of acientific terms and phrases with no sense whatever in their use. “A somewhat similar case occurred in my practice recently,"’ remarked a phys'- clan to whom the foregoing inc dent had been related. “One of my patients, who was also a writer. had a low fever.

If things go on at the present rate crops themselves will probably go out of fashion. The epidemic of gayety comes of the in- fT vention of a new social appliance. It is a portable dancing pavilion. It enables the young foiks to have a dance whenever and wherever they take a notion. It has boomed sociability to a tremendous degree. It has made summer instead of winter the season for dances. The farmers’ sons and daughters of these townships have always had a pronounced predi‘ection for social pleasures. They for- formerly had dances at intervals during the winter at different farmhouses. But as the farmers waxed prosperous and spread on their floors rich carpets, they be- came less agreeable to propositions for a dance. It meant taking up the aforesaid carpets and a lot of trouble beside, and the dance, already crowded by the literary so- cities at the Turkey Hil) Grange Ha!) and the schoolhouses, was threatened with ex- tinction. In Smithton Township there was a socia) club of the young farmers who liked to dance. "Two years ago the number of houses where dances could be held had become few. The club was confronted with the alternative of having the dances at road houses and resorts or going out of the dance business. At that juncture Martin Weigand had & thinking spell. He felt that somehow a dancing platform such as are used on pic- nic grounds and gardens was the solution = such platform at one place would not fill the bill, and the idea of building a dozen or so could not be entertained. Martin Weigand had got about that far it his reasoning when a happy thought Struck him and etruck him hard. That Was to have a platform which could be moved from one farmhouse to another Iie turned the platform over in his mind, did geome figuring on dimeneé!oneé, some more figuring on cost, and decided that it would do. He talked to some of the other young men and they agreed that the perambulut- ing pavilion would save them. Weigand had a 20x20 platform built in three sections, each 6 2-3x20 feet. The floor- ing was nailed to 2x6-inch joists. He went to Belleville and bought a pair of separator trucks with low, wide-tired wheels, On thege the three sections could be easily loaded so as to extend over the wheels. They were loaded cne on top of the other, securely bolted together, and Welgand was ready for business. Since that time winter dancing has gone hence in that locality, but scarcely a week has passed during the warm eeason that there has not been a dance on the port- able floor at one farmhouse or another. When it {is decided to give a dance a farmer is found who is willing to have it “pulled off’ in his front yard. Two dol- lars and a half is made up by an aésesa- ment of the “boys,” and Weigand is sent word to have his folding dancehall on hand on a stated evening. The $2.50 gcea to pay Weigand for the use of the platform and transporting it to and from the place. When Weigand arrives he neede help to VILION 4 2 « unload the thing and joint ft together, There are plenty of willing hands to help, because the dance la yet to come. About daybreak, though, when the music dies away, and the dance is over, and some more willing hands are needed to load up the platform again, they are not always so easily found. Over in Freeburg Township, north of Smithton Township, there is another social club and between the two there is much rivalry. Tae Freeburg Township people worried along without a platform until a few weeks ago. Then a man named Welst, one of their number, bullt one 18x20 feet, which is transported in the same way, ne building of the second platform increaged the social rivalry between the two town- ships. | To avert the possibility of the platform being used as breastworks in a battle be- tween the townships, the farmers of Turkey Hill, who are prosperous, enlightened and dignified, and who delight not tin things unseemly, undertook to bring the townships and the platforms together on the Fourth of July for a grand, patriotic, peaceful reunion, The platforms were carted to Hel Grove and spliced together along the foot sides and large preparations were made for a Fourth of July dance. families—were invited and it was expec that social animosities would be fore banished.

DANCING PAVILION 4 a a PROMOTES SOCIAL PLEASURE IN RURAL DISTRICTS) * * # NEAR BELLEVILLE, Smithton and Freeburg Townships, near Belleville, Ill. “On with the dance!" is the cry of the rising generation, Crop talk is out of fashion. If things go on at the present rate crops themselves will probably go out of fashion. The epidemic of gayety comes of the in- vention of a new social appliance. It is a portable dancing pavilion. It enables the young folks to fave a dance whenever and wherever they take a notion. It has boomed sociability to a tremendous degree. It has made summer instead of winter the season for dances, The farmers’ sons and daughters of these townships have always had a pronounced predi‘ection for social pleasures, They for- formerly had dances at intervals during the winter at different farmhouses. But as the farmers waxed prosperous and spread on their floors rich carpets, they be- came less agreeable to propositions for a dance, It meant taking up the aforesaid carpets and a lot of trouble beside, and the dance, already crowded by the literary so- cities at the Turkey Hil) Grange Ha!) and the schoolhouses, was threatened with ex- tinction. In Smithton Township there was 4 socia) club of the young farmers who liked to dance. Two years ago the number of houses where dances could be held had become few. The club was confronted with the alternative of having the dances at road houses and resorts or going out of the dance business. At that juncture Martin Weigand had @ thinking spell. He felt that somehow a dancing platform such as are used on pic- nic grounds and gardens was the solution of the situation, but it was clear that one TT “sme is a reign of social gayeties in such platform at one place would not fill the bill, and the idea of building a dozen or so could not be entertained. Martin Weigand had got about that far it his reasoning when a happy thought struck him and etruck him hard. That was to have a platform which could be moved from one farmhouse to another He turned the platform over in hia mind, did seme figuring on dimenelona, some more figuring on cost, and decided that it would do. ' He talked to some of the other young men and they agreed that the perambulut- ing pavilion would save them. Welgand had a 20x20 platform built in three sections, each 6 2-3x20 feet. The floor- ing was nailed to 2x6-inch joists. He went to Belleville and bought a pair of separator trucks with low, wide-tired wheels. On these the three sections could be easily loaded so as to extend over the wheels. They were loaded cne on top of the other, securely bolted together, and Welgand was ready for business. Since that time winter dancing has gone hence in that locality, but scarcely a week has passed during the warm eeason that there has not. been a dance on the port- able floor at one farmhouse or another. When it ts decided to give a dance a farmer is found who is willing to have it ‘pulled off’ in his front yard. Two dol- lars and a half is made up by an aésess- ment of the ‘boys,’ and Weigand is sent word to have his folding dancehall on hand on a stated evening. The $2.50 gces to pay Weigand for the use of the platform and transporting it to and from the place. When Weigand arrives he neede help to ILLINOIS, # # « unload the thing and joint ft together, There are plenty of willing hands to help, because the dance ia yet to come. About daybreak, though, when the music dies away, and the dance is over, and some more willing hands are needed to load up. the platform again, they are not always so easily found. . Over in Freeburg Township, north of Smithton Township, there is another social] club and between the two there is much rivalry. Tae Freeburg Township people worried along without a platform until a few weeks ago. Then a man nanied Welst, one of their number, built one 18x20 feet, which is transported in the same way, The building of the second platform ‘increased the socia] rivalry between the two town- ships. To avert the possibility of the platform being used as breustworks in a battle be- tween the townships, the farmers of Turkey Hill, who are prosperous, enlightened and dignified, and who delight not in things” unseemly, undertook to bring the townships | and the platforms together on the Fourth of July for a grand, patriotic, peaceful reunion, The platforms were carted to Helms’ Grove and spliced together along the 20- foot skies and large preparations were made for a Fourth of July dance. The leading people of the two neighborhoods —the Helms, ‘Mueller, Bekert, Biebel, Dictz, Dintelmann, Briesacher, Siebert and other families~were invited and it was expected that social anlmosities would be forever banished. The rain interfered with the enjoyment, but the farmers hope that the interests of peace were substantially promoted. en dn , ens of romantic interest. and somewhat miracu- lous to an advanced mind, but it is faith- fully believed by many of the Catholics of the province.

N every community where lynchings have occurred there is a better element in both races—men and women who re- nounce the crimes which prompt lynchings and open disregard of law. But these peo- ple have never been able to prevent either the lynching. or the crimes. It ts the purpose of this organization to prevent, as far as possible in the manner set forth below, both the crime and the mob. Coolness, the exercising of common sense and prompt action on the part of the better element is the remedy in moments of excitement and when trouble is :mminent.

In fact, the exhibitions ‘n the Patent Of- fice at Washington show not only that women are much busier in invention than is generally supposed, put that the re- Sults are frequently of importance. Women inventors did not appear in any considerabie numbers until a generat.on ago. Of the hundreds of women’s patents exhibited at Washington n-.ne-tenths have been issued within the yast % years. At present woman has found s0 sure a mar- an ket for the results of her inventiveness - thas eoveral patents are granted to women tongs and clothespins. Many of them take out patents on agricultural implements, min:ng machinery, electrical contr.vances and the like, Among the women who have patented valuable inventions during the past few months are Julia E. Meyenberg of Chi- cago, who secured a patent on bul. ding blocks arranged to lock together; Abby 8S. Vose of Providence, who patented &n improved buttonhole cutting machine; Cecilia A. Brewer, who invented an -f- tricate and highly tmproved washing ™m&- chine, and Minerva R. Buckley, who in- vented a water filter. This activity on the part of women 's usually rich in results. The inventors tions are of so practical a nature that the labor of thousands of women is lessened by their introduction. There are more than a hundred women who receive big incomes every year from tneir patents, and there are other patenis which will y:e.d simiar fortunes when they are set afloat, One woman draws $3000 a year for an im- proved giove buttoner. A paten.ed waist supporter is supply.ng another woman with a generous amount of pin money. The tin- vention of new games and toys for children supplies Many women with a reguiar in- come. In fact, all that women accomplish in this .ine is not known. because often the inventions are bought direcily by the firms which ‘ntend to use them, and the inventor's name never appears.

This troubled him greatly, and he frequently expressed the wish that he could have the power given him to tran- scribe at once the elusive train of reason- ing which he felt convinced would add so materially to his reputation. Hoping that some time he might awake and remember his arguments, he put at his beside every night writing materials with a candle and some matches. -One sight he was overjoyed to find that he awoke sud- denly with all his faculties in their normal condition, at the same t.me remembering in its entirety a wonderfully well- reasoned- out treatise that he had composed in his sleep. He proceeded to write it down at ence. After having filled several sheets with the closely written composition, he put out his candle and com h'mself to sleep, and th's time enjoyed a deep, quiet dreamiess rest until morning, when he awoke, recollecting perfectly the events of the night before. He reached out eagerly for his papers, expecting the essay to be ex- ceptionaiiy clever and lucid, but what was his astonishment and disappo'ntment when he found that he had covered h.s sheets with pure gibberish—a jargon of scientific terms and phrases with no sense whatever in their use. “A somewhat similar my practice recently,” case occurred in remarked a phys'- clan to whom the foregoing inc dent had been related. “One of my patients, who was also a writer, had a low fever.

Gates when Gates fs fired by the desire for vengeance for a brother’s mur- der—well, he'll do more than any one who knows Gates believes. Here is the story of Gates’ life, told by a St. Louis friend: John, W. Gates was born in I!linois and is 61 years eld. His brother Gilbert was 37 when he disappecred. John was at the family home in West Chicago when Gil- bert left on the fatal Western trip. John remained there when their father, alarmed by his mother’s dream, started out on Gii- bert's trail; he joined his father when Jes- 7 OHN W.

Last month, when Jester’s sister gave him up to the law, John W.

He identified the man at once—and Jester And it is generally be- lieved that, to the inflexfdle dtermination of John W.

Began Life Poor, Made Most of His Money in St. Louis, Left Gigantic Business Inter- ests and Political Ambitions to Pursue Alex. Jester, Who Is Accused of Mur- dering Gates’ Brother 28 Years Ago. Gates’ career began in Chicago, but it amounted to little there, and he did not Stay. To St. Louis ne owes his success, and his coming her» was the first step in his life, outside his connection-with Jester, that is really worthy of any note. He was then in the prime of his youth—for he is yet comparatively a young man, John W. Gates came to St. Louis in the spring of 1881, ten years after his brother had disappeared. He had not been success- ful in business in Chicago, and he was not overburdened with this world’s goods. He opened an office in the northwest corner of the Southern Hotel Building, as the rep- resentative of the Cleveland Rolling Mill Co., and sold fron and steel goods for that corporation, making a success of it from the start. Just at that time the barbed wire bdusi- ness was in its infancy, and the patents were all controlled by the Washburn & Moen Manufacturing Co. -of Worcester, Mass. Ail other manufacturers were their licensees. Gates, seeing the enormous profits enjoyed by this company, and. be- lieving that the patents would not hold in law, conceived the idea of doing a little manufacturing of his own—becoming, in fact, what was termed a ‘‘moonshiner’’—in an obscure factory. So he hired a building in Soulard street, bought or madé a few machines and started to turning out barbed wire. The high prices, upheld by the heavy royalty the Washburn & Moen Co. de- manded, made the business extremely profitable, and in it Gates laid the founda- tion of his present great fortune. But a day of reckoning came. The rapid growth of Gates’ factory and its increased product attracted the attention of the com- pany, which naturaliy went on the trail of the ‘‘moonshiners,”’ and, claiming to own everything pertaining to barbed wire and its making, even to the machines used, it began proceedings in the Federal Court against Gates and his shop. Gates was enjoying his prosperity; he refueed to “lay down” and fought back most vigorously in the active fashion so characteristic of him. For years he and his factory were the storm center of one of the most vigor- ous and persistent series of litigations ever in the United States. & At one time has was mearly wiped out by the immense corporation, as it secured an injunction against him, preventing him from either using the machines or making barbed wire, but Gates again showed the characteristics of the bulldog fighter that. he is. During the night he placed his entire fac- tory on wagons, moved out of the district into Illinois and defied the injunction and the company that obtained it. There he continued both to make barbed wire and to worry his persecutors. In the fall of 1886 a decision was ren- dered by Judge Treat, then sitting as cir- cuit judge in this Federal Court district, which deciared the patents on barbed wire invalid, Gates at once organized a strong company here, using his former factory as a nucleus and another in Pittsburg, Pa., and as the president of both operated them so s6uc- cessfully that, in 1889, he began the ab- sorbtion of all the barb wire plants in tne United States, some 25 in number, adding one at a time to his parent factory, and by 1893 he was the president of the Con- solidated Steel and Wire Co. and the IIli- nois Steel Co., and in a position to dictate to his old enemy. This he did, and the Washburn & Moen Co. became his also, so that in 1898 Gates controlled absolutely the barb wire industry of the State. Much of this. work Gates did in St. Louis and by far the most ef his present fortune is founded on his success here. He left St. Louis about 10 years ago and has lived in Chicago ever since. : His hobby and dream for 15 years was to combine and amalgamate the barb wire business and his shrewdness and persist- ency in carrying {t out are thoroughly char- acteristic of the man. With his friends he is generous and lib- eral to a fault; in business he is quick and exacting. He is one of the best correspondents in the country, is a true sportsman and was at one time conceded to be the best wing and trap shot (amateur) in the West. He is a lover of fine horses and is a fa- miliar figure at the race course. He is of indomitable energy; he can work 22 hours and sleep two, and he never ad- mits that he is beaten in anything he un- dertakes. He has great personal magetism and is @& most persuasive talker. Gates is also a politician, though he has never held office. But that is no sign that he will not. He wants either the Governdér- ship of Illinois or the Senatorship, to suc- ceed Cullom, and his chances for one or the other are excellent. He is. no novice in the art of office-get- ting, for he sent Niedringhaus to Congress when he was here, and he was at one time one of Chauncey I. Filley’s ablest lieuten- ants. in ‘national politios he had charge of Har- rison’s campaign in the West, and was of- fered the Secretaryship of the Interior, but declined it, In his fight for Cullom’s mantle he has Chicago and Cook County behind him. This is the man whom Jester has as a prosecutor—not in law, but in fact. During the 28 years since Gilbert Gates disappeared John, his brother, has never failed to keep track of every detail connected with the case. He confronted Jester in the Shaw- nee, O. T., jail and said: “Don't you remember me? I took, you out of jail in Paris, Mo., and read the papers to you.” And for the first time Jester broke down and cried like a baby, saying, between his sobs: “God forgive me; God forgive me!”’ ; SYS + * 4.

HAT would the critics say of a romancer should he conjure up sit- uations such as these, all of which are from real life? For example, Lord Byron risking on the toss of a penny whether or not he should renew his suit to Miss Millbank, by whom his offer of marriage had been several times refused. “Heads’’ came up. Byron won his bride and regretted it ever afterward. Count Rumford, wisest of philosophers, spending four years in courting La Vois- sier’s widow, yet writing of her later: “IT have the misfortune to be married to one of the most imperious, tyrannical, un- feeling women that ever existed, whose perseverance in following an object is only equaled by her wickednes in framing it.’’ My Lord Chancellor Bidon marrying his cook in fear of losing her services, ana being rewarded by finding that as “‘my lady’’ she ignored the kitchen.

The American housekeepers couid learn several things in that Lline|~ “The Boers (farmers) always speak of an other Boer as ‘only a poor man,’ when he may be worth $15,000 or $20,000. Their farms are considered small if they are not more than 3000 morgans (about 6000 acres) in ex- tent. Some of the Boers have as much as 20,000 acres of good land and are not con- sidered well-to<io. A man with that much, however, seldom cultivates more than 2% acres, although native labor can be had for about 2 shillings a day. The | pre- fer to lay around and do nothing, as their fathers have been doing for years. [They get a few thousand sheep and sell about as many each year (the increase) for seen $5 each, and accumulate money in spite of themselves. ‘Some enterprising foreigners cultivate to some extent and use the modern ma- chinery and are getting immensely wealthy. Wheat is worth here from $3 to $4, corn from $2.60 to $ and other grain in propor- tion. In the ‘Karoo’ (the desert) of South Africa, considered the richest of any land in the world when water can be had), any amount of water is to be had by going down from 10 to §O feet, and some mar- velous crops hhave been had. Although there are thousands of acres not touched, and the Boers know it is possible for them to do as the foreigners are doing, yet they Gay it is too much trouble, and prefer to remote idle and live off their sheep and cattle. “But occasionally we find a young Boer who is progressive, and in every case he is having abundant success. They are sink- ing wells or utilizing the natural eprings on their places, buying American wind- mills and machinery and imp their cattle, and so in a few years there will be a great change in the country. At present it offers a field for the enterprise of the American farmers (not mechanics or clerks), such as I had never dreamed of, and more espeNally if he has a LUttle. capt- tal to start on. ‘“KHach day I see things that impress me with the vast :esources that lay dormant in this immense country. However, there are thousands of Huropeans who come here every year without money and suffer un- told hardships before they are able to get back home. I don’t suppose there is a more expensive country to live in anywhere, I have traveled several thousand miles since I arrived here, hunting out my best dis- tricts, advertising myself and getting ac- quainted. After this my expenses won't be one-fifth as much as they have been. ‘Our winter is just on now, about like our Indian summer. This is an ideal climate.

An Indiana Doctor Has Trephined ! This Dog’s Skull, and Set In Ivory Plates Carrying Electric Wires ,to Find the Centers of Sensation. BROWN setter dog may disclose all the hidden mysteries of the human brain. The dog’s name is Jim. He fs the property of Prof. Talbert of La Porte, ~~ ind., and is a willing and ready helper in his master’s scientific researches. All that is known at present about the - function of the different parts of the brain _ Mas been learned from experiments per- ' forme upon animals while they were un- Ger the influence of chloroform: In the be- > ginning, a sma!) part of the skull was re- /@moved and the brain thus exposed was » @timulated with a very weak current of electricity. It was found that when the wire was ‘ightly placed upon one small spot on the "@Qrain, it caused the animal to move its “Hiing leg. When the wire was placed ona "@pot a little higher up it caused movement fa the front leg. Still another spot was Pecan to be the center of movement for the “ 9eyes, and so on. “. nm this way the whole surface of the brain was mapped out into what surgeons _ call ‘motor centers.’ It was found that " this could be done with great exactitude and that what was true of the brain of one 5 @nimal was always true of the brain of an - @nimal of the same species. For instance, When the surgeons found that a touch of electric wire upon a certain spot on Drain of a monkey caused it to move ite tongue, they also found that stimula- ow of the same spot on the brain of any animal of the monkey species also the tongue to move, The value of this knowledge in diseases “ef the brain is inestimable, because it is ‘NOW possible to reason from effect back te cause. Surgeons now know that a given Mpot on the human brain is the motor ter for the right leg. If a patient is ‘found to be suffering with total paralysis ef the right leg it is, therefore, pretty cer- | hat there is something wrong with . piece of brain which governs that leg. is isp wdingly the surgeon shaves his _ pa- Fi cies head, cuts through the skull at the ~ emact epet at which he knows the leg "eenter to be, and there finds, probably, a F abscess, pressing upon the brain. this is removed the patient can > _ #im was prepared for what was to fol- ‘bow by having his head ehaved. This Having been done he was angesthetized and an incision was made through his sealy right across the head, just above the eyes. Whig eut was carried far over toward the @are and then carried upward, The flap fies ekin so formed was then dissected back #0 as to lay bare the entire surface of that part of the skull containing the brain, Then Prof. Talbert picked up a smal] a surgical instrument which has @ handle like a walking stick. @kuli exactly over the places which pre- "Vigus experiments upon other doge had aught him to be the locations of motor which» exactly | fitted _ the ¢ spaces were placed. Bach of these ivory plates had previously been pierced and furnished with tiny binding posts to carry battery wires. In two instanees the bits of bone removed from the dog’s: 6kull were simi- larly prepared for wires and were then re- placed. When every hole had been fitted either with its ivory plate or its button of bone the scalp was brought back into place, holes were cut in it to allow the little silver binding posts to come through the skin, and the wound was then sewed up and dusted with an antiseptic dressing. If Jim had been human it would have been easy to tell him to let his wounds alone and to teach him why it would be ad- visable to do so. Jim, hewever, being a dog, had his own notions about wounds, and he wanted to treat them after the man- ner of his kind by vigorously ecratching them. To prevent this Jim had to be fitted with a big square, wooden. collar, something like that put apon prigoners and called the cangue by Chinese magistrates. This ef- fectually prevented Jim from interfering with the handiwork of his master. In a couple of weeks Jim's wounds had entirely healed and the hair had grown upon the scalp. -In- fact, all that remained to remind either Jim or his master of what had beem done was the bristling array of silver binding posts upon his head. These worried the dog somewhat, and in order to prevent Him from scratching them and pos- sibly loosening the plates ‘in his head, a sort of harness had to be devited to prevent him reaching them after the wooden collar had been removed. There was no ijl effect whatever from the operation. The dog was as active and intelligent as ever and was implicitly obed!l- ent to his master. The next thing done was to make a test of the result of the brain cennections. For thfs purpose Jim was strapped into a frame to prevant him from, jun:ping from the table and hurting himself. He did 2;ot mind that; he had been strapped down be- fore, and he knew that he was not to be hurt, When this had been done wires were joined to each set of binding posts project- ing from the dog's head. These wires, !n turn, key like those which telegraph operatore use, Pressure upon any key would send a very weak current of electricity aling the wire with which it was connected. As soon as all the connections had been made Jim's master pressed down one of the keys, The dog, with a-rather puggled look upon his face, promptly stretched out his fore leg. Prof. Talbert labelled that key ‘Front leg’’ and touched another. The dog immediately sneezed vigerously. This was an entire surprise, for a sneez- ing center had been hitherto unknown. The experimenter thought the ‘sneeze might have been caused by some more direct irritation, and so tried some other keys fer a while, When he returned to the sneeze key, however, the dog sneezed just as vig- orously as ever, were each connected with an electric. Another key, it was found, made the dog cough, while still another made his eyes stream with water. Several other complicated movements re- sulted from touching other Keys, and in nearly every case the results differed en- tirely from those which had been obtained when the animal experimented upon had been the subject of direct operation. The watching surgeons said that it meant that the results obtained from unconscious dogs, which were possibly in inarticulate pain, were unreliable. It: was shown that in the ease of Prof. Talbert’s dog much deeper centers had been reached than any previously known. Five minutes after the wires were re- moved from his head Jim was running around as cheerfully as ever, in spite of the fact that he had taught some distinguished scientists at least two new facts about brain centers. At present five ‘“‘centers’’.of the brajn are specifically known to surgeons; «They are the area for movements of ail litabs, the taiking center, the seeing center, the hear- ing center and the centers of sensation of smell and taste. There are, however, large treas of the eovering of the brain whose use is unknown and undetermined. These seem to be muc* more extensive on the right side of the brain than the left. It is a curious surgical fact that the right side of the brain governs the action of the left side of the body, and vice versa. The right hand and side are more used than the left by the average man, and so it happens that? the. motor centers of the left side of the brain are usually best developed and understood. The left side of the head, in the normal individual, is bigger than the right. The left side of the face, though, is usually the softer and better looking side. Hitherto it has been almost impossible for surgeons to reach the underlying substance of the brain, and, because of this fact, not overmuch interest has been taken in its uses. It has been noticed that a tumor of the base of' the brain, or of any part of its core, has been so speedily fatal that there has been little time for study of the symp- toms. Recently, however, a German sur- geon, by one of the most daring operations on record, succeeded in successfully remoyv- ‘ing a large tumor from the base of a boy's brain, and thereby opened up an entirely “new field to both the surgeon and the physiologist. The base of the Drain Is practically that part ‘lying between and a little below the ears. The quickest and most direct route to it would be from the back of the nead, but that way is Darred by the medulla ob- longata, which ts considered to be the cen- ter of life. The way of reaching the de- sired spot adopted by the German surgeon was so startling that only his own assist- ants were allowed to be present at. the first operation. Briefly, he removed and turned back, like a flap, almost the entire front of the vig Ay face, from the eyebrows to the lower lip, and operated upon the brain tumor through the space thus formed. The boy mace a perfect recevery. BXICO'S national disease is scurvy. (Mexico's national drink is pulque. obo ae “And yet, scientists claim, pulque ; =.) & cure for scurvy. |) ‘Phe medical man who claims to have dis- —@overed this is Dr. Francisco Martines Baca, Physician of the penitentiary and @hieif director of the anthropology depart- + of Pueblo, Mexico. In describing the t of the drinking of pulque on the > @¥ieeners under his charge, Dr. Baca cays: = «6S «prescribed the national drink during ee en @utbreak of scurvy for the sake of Ri ening the patients, and I began eee the effects of it at once.

If this theory is correct | m the Giscovery aceidentally made by om, mca is in the highest degree impor- wu renee & Cure for a miserable ve that has bafffed she modign! world : Note Z m age Reape | Se ate vag aie bitatnts ies A a Leaving the main object of their visit aside for a time, the two sclentists have taken up, at the especial request of the Mexican Government, the study of the. great Mexi- can drink, pulque. This is really as much a mystery as the Aztec ruins. The natives Crink pulque and become intoxicated by so doing, but what it is puzzles most of the Mexican people, and is even a mystery to scientists, for there are so many sources from which it can be obtained that the name is believed to be given to many liq- ors that are not, strictly: speaking, pulque atall, The interest in the matter has been Ynagnified through the discovery by the Mexican medical man attached to the pris- on, that pulque has hitherto unknown medical properties, and by its use success- fully in eradicating from the prison the germs of scurvy which have always been a terrible enemy to the Mexican Indians. What is known of pulque and what has been already discovered by the two sclen- tists from Washington, may be summed up as follows: The plants are grown in great plantations, and the natives take the liquor from the plant very much as a person draws juice from a lemon. Pulque is a kind of acid wine, which contains water, aicohol, sugar, mucilage, salts and special acids which are produced through the transfor- mation of the essential constituents of the plant. The quality of the liquer varies ac- cording to the plant from which it is taken, The best comes from the plaing of Apam, Tiaxcala and Puebla. A liquor that is used in making the finer quality of pulque is directly extracted from the fruit by scraping it. It is a white yel- of | Jowlen aon 4 viscid, with an aro- yes alysis, water, essential oll, agavic acid, aga- vic honey with an acid taste, gum, starch, resin, vegetable albumen, salts and celhu- lose. Not all the fruit, it has been found, is equally rich in the indispensable materials to produce pulque. The liquor, on account of the large percentage of sugar and gum, easily fer- ments after a few hours’ exposure, de- veloping agavic acid as it comes in contact with the atmospheric air, which transforms sugar into alcohol. The fermentation of the liquor originates chemical] transforma- tions which never stop, but keep on to the acetic fermentation which transforms alcohol into acetic acid and ends in the putrid fermentation. By reason, of the fact that the liquor ferments so easily, it is difficult to preserve it for a long time without the aid of anti-putrid eubstances such as salycijic acid and others. A distinguished Mexican hygienist, who has studied the properties of pulque, de- clares it to be a nourishing beverage, a tonic of the nervous system and general economy, regenerating the blood and con- taining salte which can cure some coin- plaints and carbonic acid which determines many effects favorable to digestion. This étatement the Investigations of the two Washington gentlemen will either confirm or disprove, The interesting discovery has been made, in the first place, that the na- tional drink of Mexico swarme with bac- teria, and it is believed that this discovery accounts for the hitherto unaccountable fact that the drinking of pulque was found, quite by accident, to be a cure for scurvy, w hich m of Merle cocrived a8 t the the. hetlsnal a é Sanlinssr, : ie .

"= British authorities, some time ago, made a test of the alleged value of alcohol when men are subjected to unusual and exhausting labor. Experi- ments were made at different times and under varying conditions, with three regi- ments from each of several brigades. In one every man was forbidden to drink any alcohol whatever, while the test lasted; in the second malt liquor only was taken; in the third; a ration of whisky was given to each man. The whisky drinkers manifest more dash at first, but generally, in @#bout four days, showed signs of weakness: and fatigue; these given malt liquor displayed less dash at first, but their endurance lasted somewhat langer, while the abstain- ers improved daily in alertness and -stay- ing powers, ments are being made with sugar,: which i8 claimed to have such great sustaining powers that it is proposed to serve it as an extra ration when unusu@g) fatigues are to be borne.

Dr. True’seinvestigations have led him to adopt the juice of the tomato in cases in which the blood needs toning up.

Are you conscious often of a dull, aching pain in your wrist and°*arms, like. the toothache grown tired or rheumatism in one of its lesser moments?

She is as careful of them as ef the seareely less- expensive outer or dress skirt. So she gathers them all into a bunch six inches below her waist line and bears her. burden patiently about with her all dav. The result is the latest. disease of women. Hypertrophy of the wrist the doc- tors call it, which, being interpreted popu- larly, means the petticoat wrist. Madam or Mademoiselle Fashion would not “rub out” her own dainty lingerie or handkerchiefs on the plebelan washboard, nor would she scrub the kitchen or dining room floor or reliéve the chmbermaid of her all-over-the-house sweeping on Friday, and yet she makes her delicate wrist do harder work than this every time she goes shop- ping or ealling or walking. ‘It is a delicate and beautiful wrist, but it is worked overtime, and is given as little consideration for its well-being as any bread winner who has to disregard all laws of health gives to hers. Holding the hand in one rigid position is necessarily a strain upon it.. Add‘to this the long time required forthe proper care of the skirts on a shopping or calling expe- dition, and the weight of the skirts: held thus, and the result is inevitable. The nius- cles of the wrist are enlarged and perma- nently congested. The ligaments and ten- dons are strained, The wrist becomes per- manently enlarged. The wrist which: might’ naturally be slender and tender becomes swollen and coarse. The tendons ieading to the thumb and finger are also strained. A prominent physician points out that the petticoat wrist produces’ a change in the style of handwriting. He says the pen- manship of .the woman who has. the ‘petticoat wrist’’ grows larger and coarser and loses the delicate angularity in vogue, and which has cost herself and her teachers many hours of application and correction at school. He points out a much. greater evil—the warping into ugly crookedness of the fe- male form divine, He points out that in the effort to keep the superabundance of skirts out of the dust women raise the right shoulder at least two inches. Nature, in trying to adjust the body to this demand, raises the left hip a distance of two inches and so restores the lost balance at the loss of grace and beauty. A woman physician offered a solution of the problem, “Women won't stop wearing Senn. skirts for aii the doctors-in the world,” she said.- ‘Short women think they make them look tall, and tall women think they make them look graceful: So the long skirt will -not go —at least not for the dectors. That's set- tled, ‘The only way out of it, obviously, is to find a substitute of some sort. Women won’t wear skirt holders. A few years ago there was a little metal clasp attached to a silk cord worn around the waist that held the skirts securely and just satisfactorily as the band. Intrinsically {t was a success, but women didn’t like it. They said it was shoddy, and that settled it. The inventor died in bankruptcy instead of the society of multi-millionaires, as he had expected, *“But-_the substitute? Women can wear a ‘lighf apparatus that has been invented for strengthening weak fingers and wrists, It was designed to relieve hands and wrists whose muscles had been overstrained, It does the work of the tired muscles of the wrist and fingers, “The apparatus, made of strong yet pll- able material, above the wrist and is arranged to lace snugly to prevent displacement. Five India. rubber cords, acting as artificial extensors, are distributed along the back of the fin- gers and thumb. The ends of these cords are provided with hooks which take hold of loops at the extremities of the fingers and thumb and of chains connected with straps at the wrist. These artificial muscles act independently one of the other, and their strength can be regulated by hooking them to the chains so as to make them more or less tense. They are passed through joops to prevent their slipping out of place, The apparatus is so light that it can be worn under a glove. It is @ boon for tired or paralyzed muscles. It would have te be made to-order, probably, -at-some instru- ment house, sive.” “) The woman physician, bei feminine, noted what the mien physicians did not—that the method holding the skirt was ungraceful and ‘ugly, for two reasons.

He will insert his beak into another insect and suck it dry, and he likes the blood of all kinds of animals, but is particularly fond of chickens. The Board of Health recommends for his “kiss” a lotion of ammonia, followed by an application of witch hazel or some lauda~ num with sugar of lead in it.

A common cause of annoyance is the attacks which they make on chickens. I was once bitten by one of the mela- nolestes and the swelling which followed proved quite painful. The insect has @ very poisonous secretion, which it injects through its beak into the body of its vic- tim. Moreover, while it does not as a rule prey upon the bodies of warm-blooded ani- mals, it will suck their blood in case it comes into contact with them. The probable cause of the prevalence of the melanolestes thie year is the great abundance of insect life to be found every- where.

Elder Roberts determined te secure the bodies of the Mormon martyrs and ship them to Utah for burial. He tried to per- suade the Lieutenant Governor of Ten- nessee to send a Sheriff's posse with him, but in vain. So he went alone. Leaving the railroad near the rough section where the murders occurred, he started for the interior, Elder Roberts gives the follow- ing account of his wiiad journey! By Elder Brigham H. Roberts. “At the village crowds of excited men, friends of Dan Hinson, the dead leader of the mob, gathered threatenly on the hy was all with the has ia his life If you go there they'll kill you, sure.’ “But we Grove to within thirty miles of Cane Creek, and that night fitted up two teams, no smal) task in a rough country, where almost every one travels horseback. I wrote letters of introduction to our friends around Cane Creek, asking them to assist the stranger who was coming for the bodies. Then I told Eider Kimball, who had come this far with me, that I was the man who would deliver those letters. He tried to dissuade me, but I felt it was the Lord's qill I should go, and borrowed an old sult of clithes, shaved my face clean, and made every change possible to conceal my identity. Then, accompanied by two men and a boy, I went to where I had ship- ped the metaliic caskets, and loaded them into our wagons: While doing this there were many people around who had known me for years, but none me, it friends, learning of. my efforts to get the Sheriff and his posse in Nashville, were guarding the road north and east of Cane Creek, swearing that no power on earth should take away the bodies of the men they had murdered. So we swung to the south to the house of Mr. Garrett, a friend of the Mormons. I had been at his house often, but he did not Know me, and on reading my own letter of introduction sad he would help me all he could. The teams following, we walked to the graveyard, he telling me the terrible story of the mas- sacre. It was growing dusk, and In a dense thicket I stopped and asked: ‘Thomas, don’t you know me?’ As {if shot, he cried: ‘My God, is it you?’ and rushed into my arms in tears. “Reaching the humble graveyard, right in the woods, we began, by the light of a to exhume the pered that they were the mob, and our lives were in imminent danger. The| scene was a weird one. They stood there, in the gray cusk, motionless and silent, as we took the bul et-r.ddled, bloodsiained bodies of their victims from the rude ¢offins and placed them in the caskets. We -did not know what moment they wou!d fire on us, and their very siience made the suspense the more terrible. But we went on with our grewsome task, and just as it was com. pleted the excitement and stra.n overcame me and 1 fell in a faint. ieee 9 we there was water there. and 1 was soon# restored. “We stamed away, our watchers still standing tn abso.ute silence and hak ng no attempt to stay us.

HINSHAW is another Mrs. Maybrick in point of the wide- spread interest aroused in his 2 She was sentenced to life imprison- Ment for murdering her husband for the ‘@ake of another man. He rece:ved a simi- ‘tar sentence for killing his wife, presumably Wor the sake of another woman. Grave do have always existed as to the guilt of each. Almost incessantly friends have been at work for years to secure the re- lease of both. Is William DB. Hinshaw, former Metho- dist preacher, guilty of wife murder? The law says he is. Hundreds of people be- lieve he is not. Two men have confessed at different: times that they, in company killed Mrs. Hinshaw. One of these con- fessions has been proved false. “It was made by Noah Baney, convict, in August, 1897. The other was made by “Kid” Whit- ney, likewise a convict, a few days ago. Its truth {is now Dbeing tested. Circum- stances proved Baney a liar, and Baney declares that Whitney is as bad as him- self, © In’ the meantime Hinshaw is serving a life sentence for murder in the first degree fn the Indiana penitentiary, at Michigan Chy. ‘Ig Hinshaw guilty?” This question has been agitating the minds of Indiana people, in particular, and fol- lowers of Methodism in general] ever since the night of Jan. 9, 18%, when Mrs. Thurza Hinshaw was found dead on the front porch of her residence, at Belleville, a village near Danville, in Central Indiana. Four years and a half have not sufficed to give an answer. The doubt may never be re- moved. Wiliam E. Hinshaw was a Methodist cir- cuit rider. He had charge of four small churches {n and near Belleville, Ind., preaching in them alternately. He was young, handsome, striking in appearance and very popular with the people in the vicinity where he labored. None the less favored was his young wife, and their ex- istence seemed to be ideal— With one exception. Mr. Hinshaw greatly enjoyed the society of one member of his congregation, a Miss Feree. There may have been nothing rep- rehensible in this attachment, but eventu- ally it caused talk. Still, there were many who refused, and still refuse, to believe that Hinshaw’s regard for this young wom- an had anything to do with his wife's death. The night of Jan. 9, 18%, was very cold, and there was a light snow. About mid- night the village was aroused by cries of “Help!” “Murder!” They came from the Hinshaw residence. Neighbors who reached the scene found Mrs. Hinshaw lying in the snow on the front porch, dead. Fifty feet away was Mr. Hinshaw, on the ground. He was groaning, and seemed to be exhausted, as if from a struggle. There was a bullet wound in his thigh, and razor cuts on his hands and forearms. When he revived he told the story of a midnight robbery and. murder. Two bur- slars, he said, had entered his house and stolen a pocketbook containing $150 While, searching for further booty they awakened Mrs. Hinshaw. She screamed, and one of the men shot her through the head. She sprang from her bed and grappled with him and struggled unti) they reached the ‘front porch. ‘There she fell dead. Then, Hinshaw said, he chased the men from the porch down the road. One of them attacked him with e razor and hacked him on the hands and arms. Both men then ran, but one stopped and fired a shot at him, striking him in the thigh. Near where he was lying on the ground was found his wife’s empty pocketbook. Hinshaw’s statement of the case was ac- cepted, and the people of Belleville deeply sympathized with the handsome young preacher who had been so cruelly bereft of his wife and so badly injured. Everybody in the town and country roundabéut be- lieved his statement except two men. One of them was Harry C. Webster, a Belleville detective. The other was the father of Mrs. Hin- shaw. He firmly believed in Hinshaw’s guilt. His wife did not. Th‘ difference of opinion caused such an estrangement between them that they were divorced in August, 1897, the month during which Noah Baney’s confession was made. Harry Webster believed that Hinshaw killed his wife, and he set about proving it. He said nothing, but labored night and day, and during the third week tn February he applied for a warrant charging W. E. Hinshaw with murder in the first degree, His action almost precipitated a riot. The people wanted to lynch the man who was so bold as to claim that the popular young preacher had killed his wife. Webster was glad to escape with his life. He left town temporarily, but he was tenacious of his theory, and finaly gained his point. So damaging was the evidence he adduced that popular feeling turned against the preacher, and as soon asa warrant was ob- tained his former friends prejudged him guilty, and the very men who wanted to lynch Webster were the most active in de- nouncing Hinshaw. ‘he preacher’s trial commenced Sept. 4, 18%, and continued unti) Oct. 2 Expert medical testimony went to show that it would have been impossible for Mrs. Hin- shaw to have fought the burglars after hav- ing been shot through the head. The motive for the crime was supplied by the attorneys for the prosecution, who at- tempted to show that Hinshaw had become infatuated with Miss Feree, and the preacher’s own actions tended to further this theory. The case made out by the State was so strong that Hinshaw was con- victed of murder in the first degree. The case became a noted one. Many doubted the guilt of the prisoner. Others firmly believed that he had killed his wife for the sake of the young woman in ques- tion. Many things happened to bring the case to light after Hinshaw was taken to the penitentiary, and when Baney’s alleged confession was made, two years ago, there were hundreds to say “I told you so.” Baney, who was Hinshaw’s cellmate tin the penitentiary for a time, sent for a law- yer and made such a detailed statement of the crime that there seemed to be no doubt of its truth. He offered to go over the ground himself and point out the actions of himself and his two alleged confeder- ates, Guy Van Tasse] and “Kid” Whitney, and for this purpose he was released from the penitentiary under guard for a period of five days. His explanation was so satis- factory that legal steps were being taken to free the preacher when William Short, a brother-in-law of Baney, stepped in and killed the whole proceedings by an affidavit showing the utter falsity of Baney’s con- fession. Baney, it {s said, made overtures to Hin- shaw, and took upon himself the responsi- bility of making a confession, with the hope of being enabled to escape from prison. Hinshaw furnished a plan of his house and coached Baney in the details of the con- fession he was to make. Baney’s brother-in-law made affidavit that the idea of making a confession was sug- gested to Baney by George St. Clair, an- other cunvict, and that Baney was to get $2000 and St. Clair $00. Further, said the SEES LITTLE HOPE OF HS RELEASE # & FROM HIS CR.ME, WHICH # 4 # GREATLY RESEMBLES THAT .OF + ‘= | i i ee ‘*Kid’” Whitney’s Recent Confession and Noah | Baney’s Two Years Ago Will Hardly Save _ Him From Life Imprisonment-for Wife Murder, brother-in-law, Baney had received nothing, and St. Clair only $85. At all events, Baney’s “confession” was heralded throughout the land, and the probable innocence of Hinshaw was every- where discussed. The excitement died out, but the case was not forgotten. But even the most sanguine of Hinshaw’s friends was surprised when “Kid’’ Whitney, one of the men implicated by Baney in his statement, made a similar confession a few days ago, declaring that he, Baney and Van Tassel were jointly responsible for Mrs. Hinshaw’s death. His statement {s substantially the same as that made by Baney two years ago. Baney has been out of prison since he made that confession, but was returned a few mon.hs ago from Indianapolis for grand larceny. Whitney is also a thief. Banéy now says that his statement was false, and declares his belief that Whitney is now doing just what he did dn 1897—‘‘confessing”’ for hire. | Baney says: ‘Whitney don’t know any- thing to tell. He don't know any more about the killing of Mrs. Hinshaw than a rabbit. Whitney, Van Tasse) and myself were in Chicago when the killing was done, and up to that time I did not know there was such a place as Belleville Finally aif three of us were pinched and gent to Mich- igan' City. While we were there Hinshaw was transferred from Jeffersonville and put in the hospital. One day George St, Clair, a St. Joe crook, who was doing time, came to me and said: ‘Baney, do you want to get a parole ard make a stake?’ “ How?" says L. “Why, we will fake up a confession and show the preacher to be innocent.’ ‘I told h’m no, I did not want to go into the scheme, and didn’t bel 6ve it would work, out In the form of a confession, in for it. Then there was to stick to it. Hinshaw sent Sram of his house, the spot volver was found, and where book was picked up. Then came days’ parole and an investigation before Hendricks County grandjury. At last whole thing was exploded. Whitnay it's not true, and as sure as I am in this cell Hinshaw killed his own wife, He can get a new trial, but he knows better. He knows he would hang. Let Whitney make all che confessions he wants. There's noth- ing in them. ‘: “So far as me being guilty of killing Mrs, Hinshaw, or having any hand in it, every policeman in Indianapolis, who was on duty at that time, knows all three ofas were not there. : 4 “The whole thing has been exploded once, and there is nothing in it worth talking about. They are just working the sym- pathy racket for Hinshaw, and using Whit- ney for that purpose. He thinks they will get him out. They had better go up te Michigan City and see-Van Tassel. He'll give them the horse laugh. O, no, that cone fession won't go any more; it was too thin.” The grandjury at Danville refused to in- dict Baney and his alleged confederates in 1887. Noaction has yet been taken by that body in regard to Whitney’s statement. The fate of William BE. Hinshaw, former preach- er, is still in the balance, with no inrmediate hope of a decision.

The Misses Dil] are expert horsewomen., Mr. Dil) believes disaster is coming to those trusts which are inflated like toy balloons, and that they wil) shortly come dropping to the ground all over the land. But he thinks the popular cry against them Is “based on a misconceived theory.” “In the first place,” he said, “the nam? ‘trust’ is a misnomer.” With one or two possible exceptions, there are no trusts in this country. They are combinations of business enterprises, and, in my opinion, will settle themselves without legislation Being based upon business enterprise, they must stand or fall on business principles; those which are founded upon honest cap- italization will go on and be of benefit until] they raise prices beyond the competitive point. Then competition will spring up and prices will be brought back to the market level. ’ . “Iam firmly of the opinion that no com- binativn of business enterprises can be suc- cessful which is not based upon the Im- provement of the condition of the working- man; which does not devote its profits, first, to the increase of the pay of the Wwage-earner, and then to the payment of dividends. Before the era of combinations, when every manufacturer had to meet the keenest competition, and when what I cali the ‘antagonistic expenses’ of advertising, éciling, etc., were at their highest, the rule was exactly the converse. Expenses had to be cut and cut again to meet the antago- nistic expenses, and the men’s wages suf- fered at the first cut, and also the last one, Ull they were reduced to the lowest possi- ble point. Worse yet, the wages of a man with «a family were cut sometimes below those of the single men, because the mar- ried man could not change employment and location as easily as the singie man, and of necessity preferred half a loaf to no bread at all. “The industrial combination of to-day, whose management is wise seeks to help its workmen, .o raise the quaity of their work, to Improve their financial standing, to induce them to save their money. In pursuit of these objects the management continually is raising the price of labor, When 1 say the combinations are doing these things I mean that in my judgment the combination which does not do so w.ll ultimately go to pieces. Conversely the com- bination which does these things. and in ad- dition succeeds in distributing its stock among its wage-earners, so that it is @ co- - ae OW ’ BUG SPYRO ST ss, ay Shep aaety A ote hia gd J Rov gt ba ed - Mage ae he i, a RO oo is Say x yaw re o- Pdi i ‘ bs. pin ts 2 4 1) : ~Y : “a K see bie ” ; ie ~~ > acombination that will extend from the mine to the market, net only in the ma- terial, not only in the manufacture, but in the men who do the actual] work of manu- facture, and the profits, therefore, wil] be distributed from the wage-earner to the capitalist in equal proportion, You may say that this is a fanciful view of the situa- tion, but I answer that I know of at least one among the larger and stronger combi- nations that is putting its roots {nto the basis of affairs to-day in just this way. “But a number of combinations are fated to go to pieces. So much water has been injected into the'r etock that they are weak. Such combinations—buillt on a purely ‘two- for-one’ basis—are bound in time to come either to reorganization or Insolvency pro- ceedings, unless the industries involved are exceptionally good, because other capita] will watch them with keen eyes, and the moment a chance for competition offers or- ganizations nor weighted by promoters’ JAMES BROOKS DILL. profits will come in. These, being doubly strong in point of finances, will overcome their heavily handicapped older rivals. “The time has gone by when a combina- tion can be formed on the old lines of 100 per cent profit for the promoter with suc | cess and trouble is ahead for some that have been so organized. .When they. begin to go, the old fable of the row of bricks will be illustrated over again. When one falle many others will aiso topple over. The history ef industrial combinations in England, virtually the same as our trusts, showmd teach us a useful lesson, for the condition there 10 year ago was almost identical with the present condition here. The recent organization of trust companies of lange capiiai ail over the Unitied States is especially in point. ‘Toward the end of 1897 ‘company or- ganization’ began to reccive more marked | aitention in kLngland than for some years previous, though the aavantages of the ‘Limited Liabuity acts’ had loug been rccog- , Certain | nized and taken advantage of, shrewd manipulators took note of the puib- lic attituae, and began organizing trust companies to promote companies to buy businesses and underwiite their Issues. Each of these trust companies was organ- ized with members of the nobility, or, at any rate, men of considerable prominence in business and social circies, on the poard of Directors, and for some time the securl- tles were taken up eagerly by the public. One of the carliest and most prominent of these trust companies was the Trustees, Executors and securities Insurance Co., Limited, which was registered on Dec. 16, 1887, with a capital of é2,v0v,0u0. The imme- diate and remarkabie success of this cum- pany was followed by the organization of many others, such as the Indusirial and General, registered April 6, 1889, with a cap-, ital of £5,u0,v00, of which one-half was Is- sued with £1,000,.0#0 of 34, per cent deben- tures. The Imperial Colonial Finance and Agenc™ Corportion, Limited, was 0: gan- ized March 20, 1890, with a capital of #2,- (00,000, and the Internationa] Trustee Assets and Debenture Corporation, Limited, regis- tered with a capital of £1,000,000. Besides, there were many others. a — St ME APT ‘" 5 oer aw. Ge at Re a a b. 2. boom in company organization. Bvery con- cern of any importance that could be se- cured was capitalized on a liberal scale, and stock issued to the public by one or other of the trust companies. Enormous under- writing commissions and profits for pro- moting were realized by the trusts. “But the boom came to Its legitimate end. In time the eyes of the public were opened, and it became clear that not even the prom- inent names in the company directorates could carry them through. Then the trust companies found themselves loaded up w'th a vast mass of miscellaneous securities, mostly of I'ttle value. To carry these they had to pledge their credit to the fullest ex- tent. The stock market then became de- moralized so that it was impossible to make sales of any stock other than standard se- curities. and even these were heavily de- preciated. As a natural outcome of all this the calling of their loans by the banks became general, and this forced the liquida- tion of such securities as were marketable at any price. Suspensions of payment en- sued, followed by reorganization or liquida- tion of the trust companies; in other words, there was a general smash. In the reor- ganization the securities of the companies whose names were mentioned were written down to their market value, and the share capital had to be reduced in accordance with the depreciation written off the se- curities. The reorganized companies had to devote several years to realizing gradually their securities, and meantime few, if any, dividends were paid to their shareholders. Company organization also rece.ved a check from which it was exceedingly slow to re- over, “Accepting what I have to gay on this subject as a mere guess or venture, it seems to me that the combinations which are to be feared in this country are not business organizations—comb.nations which are open to competition—but those of immense capi- tal, which we to-day see going on every- where in financial] organizations. “Not as a combination to be feared, per- haps, but surely worthy of discussion, is the reputed control by one of the Insurance comparies in this city, of three banks and two trust companies in New York, of two trust companuies in New Jersey, including one of the largest in the State; the owner- ship of three banks outside of either New York or New Jersey, and of two trust com- panies in the West. Assuming this to be a mere beginning of combination, it is ap- parent that any such financial] combinat:o would have it within {ts power to affect the money market by ra'‘sing the rate of inter- est to creat a scarcity of money or low- ering interest to cause an abundance; to make an easy or a hard market for com- mercia) paper, or make an easy or impossi- ble market for loans on co.laterals. “As our finances are the foundation of all mercantile business, such combinations as I have in mind could contro) the spring from which the river grows. They are far more important than the industrial com. binations which may be sald to attempt In a measure the damming of the brooks, but have not attempted to build a dam across the river of commerce, or, at any rate. have not succeeded. The natural] flow o! water would be sure to come in such a case, and the combination which attempts to contro] any branch of trade is merely temporary in its power, The danger line !s further up the stream, for the man who diverts the headwaters of the river may cause such a scarcity in the stream below as actually to stop the turning of the wheels of commerce. r “My own impression {s that the danger, if any, threaten.ng this country is from financia) combinations, and not from the mercantile corporations or combinations. It may be said as an example of this that the City Nationa) Bank of New York received subscriptions for $70,000,000 of stock of the Amalgamated Copper Co. If so, it had the power to cause its subscribers to pay in these enormous subscriptions on short no- tice. Admitting this, the City National Bank had. it within its power to create & financia] panic tn the city of New York; it had it within its power to ruin hundreds. and perbaps thousands, of men by making money so scarce that wanes could not be made on the moment. I do not say that this is so, but it may have been possible, and if so, it shows in a smal] way what would be the result were the finances Of the country to get into a few hands.” 04040G040G0G00OPOPOGOTOGOS LOOK AT YOUR HANDS “At Deloma, where we came upon 4 detachment strongly intrenched, we buried 431 Filipinos, while our loss was only one.

It is known as a green moray and is the first of its kind ever exhibited in this part of the country. | « real thing in the wes of a sea * Curator L. B. Spencer, of the Aquarium, received the sea serpent with nearly one hundred other varieties of fish sent from the West Indies on the steamer Orinoco. It was placed in one of the exhibition tanks in the afternoon and was surrounded by a crowd untill ciosing time. The ser- pent is seven feet long and about twenty- four inches in circumference. It has a sharp snout and narrow jaws, with small eyes set well down toward the point of the snout. Its teeth are like needles and slant backward, so that once it. has its prey in its mouth there is no escape, The great strength of the beast and its quickness and speed in the water lie in a broad dorsal fin extending the entire jength of its back. It Delongs to the eel family, and lives mostly on smaller fish and erustaceans. The head, in certain posi- tions, suggests the typical witch's head. “We had great difficulty in securing a green moray,’ said Mr. Spencer, because the natives of the West Indies stand in such terror of them. As it was we only got this one by offering a bonus for its capture. I am fot sure how it Was caught, but I rele it was in a trap built on the eame principle as a lobster pot. It showed the wonderful strengut of its jaws while being transferred to the steamer by snapping off thelend of a plank that was placed over the tank to prevent its escape. The natives claim the bite of the fish is deadly poison, but | am not so sure of that. We shall know more about the creature after we have had ft @ little longer.” This monster was captured in Bermuda waters and brought to New York by Prof. plank in his jaws and biting : f all sorts of evils to him, They say his bite is fatal, but science has not yet determined that.

But really he money ‘will be merely taken out of née pocket and put into another. First ‘he yacht designers and builders get a thare of this million. Sailmakers, rig- fers, skippers and crews al] get a share ‘f it. First, the ardent devotees of the port make a lavish outlay, but the sums hey expend, enormous as they are, will »e exceeded by the sum that comes of the ost who “go to the races.” . The fares ald by the spectators in three of perhaps live international races amount to $300,000. At the Jlast internaticnal yacht race crowds of visitors assembled tn New York, where the hotel men benefited to the ex- tent of at least $200,000. But it ts the real participants—the Lipton and Pierpont Mor- gan and Iselin—whose expenditures are in- teresting. Take the challenger first. Sham- rock will cost Sir Thomas Lipton {125,000 (and that is less than the cost of producing Columbia, The beautifu) steam yacht Erin (formerly the Aegusa) cost him $375,000. She will convoy Shamrock across the Atlantic and the guests of Sir Thomas could have no more magnificent entertainment than she will offer. Erin ts 265 feet long and is of about a thousand tons. She has been lav- ishly refitted at a cost of $15,000, Her saloon, by the way, has been decorated with pic- tures of all the yachts that have contested for the America’s cup. The cost of racing the Shamrock and keeping her in commis- sion will be little short of $35,000, if a fair allowance is made for contingent expenses, extras, etc. Columbia cost probably $150,000, as she was when the Herreshoffs turned her over to Mr. Iselin. This stam includes the fancy price paid for designing her, for haste and superior materials used In constructicn, for salls, spars, rigging and stores. Here are some of the items compiled by A. J. Mc- Vey, the yacht designer and writer of Bos- ton: Tobin bronze, nickel, steel, etc., $13,- 000; castings, bolts and screws, $3000; frames, deck beams, ties, straps, etc., $4000; stecl, spars, masts, $1000; boom, $1300; goff, $1100;, bowsprit, $600; total, $4000. Rigging, $3000; Joiner work, hatches, companion ways, fittings, $4000; pine deck laid, $3000; lead, 90 tons, $8000; sails, completely made, $8000. The skipper of Columbia will doubtless re- ceive $200) for the season, and a present if she defeats Shamrock. The mate will] get $100 a month. Mach of the thirty-two able seamen will get $30; second mate, $40, and four quartermastecrs, $3 apiece. Food will cost approximately $600 a munth while she is in commission, The tender which will fol- low Columbia all season, accommodating the crew nights and carrying extra spars, etc., will cost about $4000 for the season. Then the dockage, repairs, alterations, tow- age and incidental expenses of the Colum- bit will amount to say $8000 more. The New York Yacht Club has appro- priated $18,000 for the use of the Regatta Committee, but hosts like Sir ‘Thomas Lip- ton, J. P..Morgan and the Iselins will spend more than that sum individually in enter- taining. Thus a rough estimate of what the cost of the internationa] yacht race is ap- proximates $1,000,000. Other races for the America’s Cup have been cailed famous, but the event to be contested of Sandy Hook next October bids fair to eclipse all its predecessors in point of public interest. Every American yachtsmnan, while point- ing with pride to those past races, looks forward to the one of 189, between the Herreshoff+designed Columbia and the Fife doat Shamréck, as the supreme test of superiority tn modern yacht architecture and skill in sailing.

A thorough yachtsman is William Butler Duncan, to whom the management and sailing of the Defender in the trying-out races was intrusted. He is a member of the New York and many other yacht clube. As owner of the cutter Huron he was al- waye considered a racing yachtsman of nerve and excellent judgment.

The Mayor himself is a self-made man and he believes in that principle. He’ is past the half-century mark, is 6 feet 2 inches high and weighs 20 pounds. He began life in St. Louis County and has lived here al- ways. His parents were German, but con- trary to general belief, he has never been to the Vaterland. He was first a carpen- ter; he went into contracting and thus made his money. He saw Katherine Henkle in a doorway in North St. Louis; made be- lieve he was lost; got her to show him the way, and eventually married her. They began life in a little flat in the south part of town. Not a stone’s throw from there, at 3321 South Thirteenth street, they live to- day, in a fine home, easily worth $30,000. The Mayor has had 12 children, eight of whom are living. They are Katherine, the oldest, named for her mother; Fred, his father’s private secretary; Eugene, Dahlia, Henry, Jr., Emma, Anna and Clara.

She and her daughters supervise and look after all there is to do about the house. Certain rules laid down by His Honor govern the Ziegenhein household. Among them are these: Mrs. Ziegenhein and the daughters must know how to do everything about the house and supervise the work. Mrs, Ziegenhein and the daughters must bake their own bread. The girls must keep their rooms clean and the family must go regularly to church, Education is a good thing, even {f papa doesn’t speak very good Pnglish, and the boys and.girls must learn everything taught in the ordinary curriculum and also to play and sing.

At noon-day dinner the first course is soup, “like mother used to make’’ 80 years ago, The girls must learn to shop; the boys to work, Highteen years is the age at which a girl may begin to receive company, The children are entitled to allowances for spending money and they must be strictly obedient. There are no favorites among the chil- dren and all are treated alike. These rules have worked well and there are few happier families than that of the Mayor of St. Louis. Next to her mother, Miss Katherine !s the head of the Ziegenhein household and if in Washington she would do most of the entertaining, as she does here. She isa tall blonde, popular in South St. Louls society and quite musical, She has been carefully reared and educated and she ts refined, cul tured and attractive, At 18 she intended to go abroad to finish her education, but her health would not permit her to do 60, and she was compelled even to give up her music for awhile. She belongs to several South Side society or card clubs and ts much liked by all who know her.

I’red Ziegenhein, secretary to his father, is rather smaller than one would expect, with a keen eye, a firm jaw and black hair. He was educated here in St. Louis, first at the ward schools, later at a business col- lege. His father believes in thorough, eom- monsense education, without frills, and all is boys have had one.

JANE HADING'S ADING'S WONDERFUL FUL GOWNS oe oe # MORE THAN At QUEEN.” PARIS, June 9. Boecial edicadiines Sunday “Post-Dispatch. N THE historical drama, ‘‘More Than a Queen,” flow being played at the Porte Saint-Martin Theater, Paris, Mme. Jane Hading&, as the heroine, Josephine de Beauharnaisy wife of Napoleon, afterward Empress of France, is creating a sensa- tion by the fmagnificence and correctness of her cost Every detail of each dress has been studied wi ! the utmost care, and critica] authoritiesfagree that each gown» worn by Mme. Ha ing in the sumptuous production is an ex Pt, copy of Qne worn by the al fated and beloved empress. The. prglgdgue to “More Than a Queen” introduces the heroine to tlie public ce Mme. B@auharnais, widow of Gen, Beau- harnais, who perished by the gullletine, a victim ofthe Reign of Terror. Mme. Hading appears at the Palais Royal carrying a pet dog in her arms. Hanging from heF girdle is a pouch containing sam. ples of coffee, for which she is trying to procure>orders trom Corcellet, whose shop she is approaching. The b@autiful creole is forced, @nother [aristocrat of the time, liveliho for herself and children, if she cAn 4 mecure orders for this coffee from lie native island she can make a profit upen it. Mme. Hafing wears in this scene an ef- tistic Diregtoire gown of cinnamon colored, soft, woolen fabric embroidered heavily in gold. Am underskirt of forest green is trimmed after the fashion of the period like many and to earn a. tion of the theater, the dance and other diversions of the careless set in which she moved, and had gone to the entertain- ment attired as Cleopatra. The tissue dress worn over a slip of shrimp gatin ig incructed with jewels, lit- erally covered with pearls, rubtes, sapphires and emeralds. Upon ‘her head Josephine wears the symbolic asp, and the lotus flowers of the Nile are set in a great cluster at the side of her beautiful head. With this gown Mme.. Hading wears a gu- Pperb ermine-lined sortie de bal of em- bossed velvet. The third illustration shows Mme. Hading in a costume at once~recdgnized as a copy of a gown -worn in the cele- brated Prudhon portrait in the ‘Louvre. Tt was said at the time that Josephine was the most graceful woman in the world, and the art with which she mdn- aged her draperies was the unfailing ad- miration of the French. The lines of the figure in this costume are ideally beau- tiful, Josephine .made the Indian shawl scarf, which was an unfailing accessory to her toflet; the fashion for years in France. ' The ill-fated Emprees owned over 600 of these wonderfully woven and embroid- ered manties, one of which has come into Mme, Hading’s possession and fis worn in the third act of ‘{More Than a Queen.” The coronation robe, worn in the fifth act, is historically correct to the min- utest detail. It. is sajd that Mme. Hading’s costumes aione in this wonderful piece have cost nearly with a wide embossed band of veivet of a . deeper ghade of green. The low-necked bodice ig partly hidden by a green velvet gacket heavily embroidered in gold, The Di- rectoire ‘hat, with its masses of roses and coquetti$sh white plumes falling over the dark hair, completes a toilet of picturesque beauty.

OT for 20 years has any American N citigen been so heartily received abroad as Samuel Langhorne Clem- ens (‘‘Mark Twain’), native Missourian, America's greatest humorist. Not since Gen. Grant's triumpha) tour around the* world ,in 1877—he was then a privaté ciligen—has any American been received with such dis- tinguished consideration. He has been ‘greeted in Engtand, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland almost like a King. Public and private receptions and } banquets have marked his path wherever he has gone. Gray though he is with his 64 years, he ‘is still strong of body and young of heart, and he has set the Old World laughing anew and quite as heart- ily as jit: laughed thirty years ago, when he convulsed two hemispheres with his “Innocents Abroad."" Mark Twain’s hu- gmor is perénnial. A knowledge of it caused Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria to ‘throw open the doors of his kingly pal- ‘a@nce and grant a private interview to ; America’s gray old jester. The Authors’ ‘Club ef London welcomed him to England with a banquet and honored him with membership. Sir Walter Besant presided. Chauncey M. Depew and Ambassador Jo- @eeph H. Choate, old friends of Mark Twain, were present. Later the White- ¥riars’ Ciub gave him @ rousing reception. Bir Walter Besant, in proposing the health of their guest at the Authors’ Club ban- quet, made a witty speech, and Mr. Clem- ens replied in a‘ characteristic vein, con. vulsing his auditors and touching the fun- my bones of two continents. Here are some ef of the things he said: : ; g ; | } | $ SJ MARK TWAIN’S LATEST.

Mark Twain was received with prolonged ap- plause.

But whatever the vow is, I do not care. I have made a thousand vows. ‘There is no pleasure comparable to making a vow in the presence of men who appreciate that vow, in the pres- ence’ of men-who honor and appreciate you for making the vow, and men who admire you for making the vow. ‘*There is only one pleasure higher than that and that is to get outside and break the vow.

The insertion, which is used on the bodice, skirt and sleeves, is put on so that each band comes to a point both at the back and front. The grenadine is made over pink silk a shade or two lighter, and where the lace insertion ap- pears the grenadine is cut away in order that the design of the lace may stand out plainly and the color of the silk background show. The skirt is made with a deep em- broidered black chiffon flounce, headed with a bit of a soft black ruching. The gown is a princess robe and fastens up the back. The high collar, belt and bow are black satin. Mrs. Temple Merritt, another of New York’s beautifully gowned women, has & little silk frock this summer which is orig- inal because of its lace trimming. The costume is made of blue figured foulard silk, It js trimmed not only with lace flounces, but with a curious pattern of very open work lace shaped in curves. This lace cannot be bought in the shops. It is sold only / most exclusive of the dressmakers by porters, who charge for it extravagant prices. The curved lace, which is appliqued upon the silk, trims not only the shirt, but the bodice and sieeves. The same pattern of lace, only in flounces, trims the demi- trained skirt. The collar and belt are of cavalry yellow velvet. With this costume Mrs. Merritt wears a —_ es — G 3 of Ss vk aes Re wr a” Mes.CLarence Mackay ANG can give a f ortune for a gown transparent black lace hat, trimmed with bluets and buttercups.

The skirt is spangled in black to simu- late an overskirt and is edged with a wee | black chiffon ruching.» The yoke and sleeves are also trimmed with the tiny ruchings. Two turquoises with diamond rims fasten the collar in front and one is caught in her black gauze hat. The real jewel buttons make this gown! one of the most expensive worn by society this season. Mrs. Lorillard Spencer has a little im- ported blue Eton jacket which is the ad- miration of all her friends. It is part of one of her walking cos- tumes. It has the effect of being made of dark blue transparent passementerie. But in reality it is cloth cut out in a conven- tional separate design. The edges of each piece are richly embroidered in the same shade of blue silk as the cloth. The de- Signs are fastened together a little apart, so that the waist worn beneath showe here and there. By changing the waist the jacket changes in effect.

SHARLES, who married the 70-year-old widow of Mark Hop- kins, buried his wife at midnight with a torchlight procession in a grave which ‘the had just completed for her. He has surrounded his house at Methuen, Mass., with fortifications. He sits for hours under a tower, whose bells, he says, ring according to his mood. Searles, who was an artistic house dec- orator, created a national sensation when he married Mrs. Hopkins, the septuagen- arian widow of the Southern Pacific Rail- road magnate. Mrs. Searles’s death, on July 2, 1891, was mysterious. It is said that the ravages of the grip sapped her vitality. Wihen her death occurred the reporters who sought information at the gates were turned away. Those among the Methuen folk who were fairly well acquainted. with the deceased and who called to offer condolence were met by barred gates. The funeral was strictly private. The Rev. Charles F. Sweet, rector of S8t. Thomas’s Church, at Methuen, conducted the funeral services, and was assisted by the Rev. C. H. Oliphant, Congregationalist, who read the esponses. Charles Hopkins of Brooklyn a brother of the deceased woman's first husband, at- tended the service. He stopped at a hotel funeral, The turquoises are as big as | at Lawrence and rode up in time for the after which he returned to the hotel until train time. There were only 11 persons present at the services,' including the bereaved husband, the clergymen and the undertaker. The service lasted 40 minutes, and the last visi- tor had departed from the presence of the dead at 12 o'clock, noon. At midnight four of Searles’s workmen bore the casket containing everything mor- tal of Mrs. Searles to its last resting place in the old Methuen Cemetery, across the road from the Searles house. Few Methuen folk saw the funeral pro- cession. Indeed, the number may be nar- rowed down to five persons, one of whom was a woman. They did not see the pro- cession move from the house, but they saw it issue from the gate, they saw it cross the road and wend its way down the grass- grown path to the entrance and watched the weird group move slowly through the cemetery, avoiding the other tombstones, to the grave which had been prepared for Mrs. Searles. The procession to the tomb was headed by Mr. Searles, whose white hair and curi- ously pale complexion were strikingly re- flected by a torch which he carried to light the way. The mortuary receptacle in which Mrs. Searles’s remains lie is about 25 feet long | by 2 feet wide and 20 feet high in the cen- |ter. with a sloping roof, covered with red slate. The door opens to the east, and the ‘entrance is made down a flight of six broad granite steps, where open doors of fine ironwork allow a view of the interior. Mrs. Searles, in a rosewood coffin with a the front row. By his late wife’s will Searles received everything Young Timothy Hopkins, an adopted son, contested the will on the ground that Searles used undue measures to warp his aged wife's Judgment. The case was fought at Newburyport, Mass., and Searles subsequently settled it out of court because of the notoriety. He paid young Timothy, who formerly was Pat Nolan, $3,000,000 and the latter promised to leave Searles in peace and return to the Pacific Coast. Five years ago Searles commenced the construction of a block stone wall around his grounds. As the work progressed he became dissatisfied rs yi 7 af TWARD F.SEARL RCD) Y 4 a= ete ae, Se "A layer, until now the wall, fortress in fact, is in some places over 40 feet in height and still unfinished. About four years ago he purchased Sculp- tor Thomas Ball’s masterpiece, a statue of Washington, which the veteran sculptor made at Florence. Searles paid $125,000 and.an_ additional $75,000 for the statues of IAncoln, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, which are put upon the four corners of the pedestal base. The monument is set across the stree from the Searles estate, and is shroude in canvas and wood. There it has stoo for over two years, and, in the opinion 0! the Methuenites, it will remain so as long as Searles. lives. 7 | A handful of Italian laborers daily work about the base, grading and trenching. One day Searles will drive out from his castle, accompanied by a stout coachman, and di- rect that the workmen place 60 many shovelfuls of dirt on such and such a place and the next day he will visit them and order the dirt removed. ‘. Thousands of words would be insufficient to describe the multitudinous schemes Searles has undertaken and left unfinished. Three years ago he promised to build a high school building for the town of Me- thuen. The plans were drafted and the specifications represented a cost of $200,000. The inhabitants of the town were pleased. They asked the donor where he intended it should be located; he replied that it made no difference to them where it would be. It is not built yet, and probably It ‘ never will be, if its construction is left in “Lord” Searles’ control. Searles sits for hours at a time im the ‘Tower of Chimes,” which rises above one corner of his unfinished manor. The tower is 19) feet high, and on the hour and half- hour, day and night, chiming bells ring out. He, it is said, told a person in one of his fits of cordiality that the chimes reflected the condition of his temperament. | When, he said, his mind is gloomy, bells strike a minor chord; when his is stirred by tempestuous thoughts the ring out defiantly, and when in repose th reflect his peace by chiming the music rest. It is estimated that Searles is over $2,000,000 annually on his: fads. Besides the original Searles property has bought all the farms surrau “World's End Pond,” a greater part af which lies in Salem, N. H. The tot acreage is about 2000, and ft is sald that Searles intends making a park of it ont plan of Millionaire Corbin’s in Northwest- ern New Hampshire.

DYBERSBURG, Tenn.,.July 6. Special Correspondence of Sunday Post-Dispatch. LD-TIME fiddlers and old-time tunes were the features of the Fourth of July celebration. this town held Tuesday, and the 15,000 folks gathered here agreed unanimously that the event was as enjoyable as it was unique. There were other things done during the day and even- ing, of course, there was the usual firing of rockets and booming of guns, there were speeches galore, and there was a beautiful flower parade, with 75 handsome- ly decorated vehicles in line, but the real feature of the day was the contest between the wielders of ~the bow of. peace—as one man put it, “the warmest members that ever stood with toe on taw and plucked a middler, the smoothest artists that ever tickled the jejunem of a thomas.cat with the gray hairs from a flea-bitten horse’s tail.’’ . Dyersburg, Tenn., has 6000 inhabitants, situated in the western portion of that State, in one of the richest agricultural valleys of the Mississippi River. It is the county seat of Dyer County, where the science of diversified farming has been learned, and wheat, corn, cotton, grains, grasses, cattle, hogs, ‘poultry, fru‘ts are raised in profusion and abundance. Dyers- burg is an enterprising town, full of capi- tal and industry and it captured the prize on the Fourth of July for the most unique entertainment given South of Mason and Dixon’s line. The old-time fiddler is almost a thing of the past now, and this gathering of’'them brought back to him and to his hearers visions:of puncheon floors, sturdy Jassies, farmer lads, happy dances and the days when he was famed throughout the coun- try side for his skill with the bow. The tunes of the ‘‘Auld ng Syne’’ are the old fiddler’s chief delight, and when he takes up his fiddle and the bow he wakes the echoes of the misty past and memory goes a-gleaning like Ruth of old, and snatches from the brambled field of forgetfulness the dear old songs and tunes all used to know. And the old-time fiddlers came to Dyers- ville to play the old-time tunes; they came from hill and from valley; from cross-roads and from country towns; they came from Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi and Arkansas. They were of all sizes, shapes and appearance, and each one carried a fiddle suited to his peculiar style of musical express'‘on. They contested with various’ old tunes, they played against each other; “Sugar in the Gourd,” for a silver sugar bow]; then »of the ages. ee ee ee ee me en ee +e ee ‘‘Mississ'ppi Sawyer’ for a handsaw; they contested “Dixie” for a rocking chair, and tackled “Old Dan Tucker’ for ia razor. “The Girl I Left Behind Me” they played for a s'lk waist pattern, and crossed bows on “‘Leather Breeches” for a pair of trous- ers. They competed with each other on “Sail Away, Ladies” and “Gray Bagle,” “Natchez Under the Hill,” “Dilapidated William,” ‘*Hell Broke Loose in Georgia,” “Buffalo Gals” and “Old Mollie Hare” they tackled for cash in hand or a pair of socks, They contested for the prize for the old- est fiddle and fiddler, and they showed up genuine Cremonas of date as far back as 1613, and some of them claimed that their fiddles were so old that they were made before they knew how to put dates on them. And then they entered into an age contest, and one old fellow won the prize on having played the fiddle for 70 years. His name is Wray, and he ts from “Old Kentucky.” The old-time fiddler is nature's child. He inherits from. her the genius of rhythm, his soul has caught the echo of every sound, He is full of the melody of a thou- sand songs, and the mocking bdirds have nested in his heart. A “violin” is to him an unknown quantity. He doesn’t play by note, he plays by nature. To him B flat is non est inventus, but when it comes to “be natural” he is in open court ready to plead, answer or demur. _ He is not on speaking terms with tempo, but he can keep time until the old folks pat, the young folks whoop, the old boards creak time; the kitchen furniture dances the Virginia reel, and the whole place gets drunk on melody. Talk to him about mod- erato and obligato and he would call for the police. He doesn’t know moderato and obligato from a red tomato oria sweet po- tato. He doesn't know a chromatic scale from a fence rail, and couldn't distinguish a note in music from a promise to pay, but when it comes to genuine melody, get there Eli is bred in his bones, And\ these old-time fiddlers were no ex- ception to the rule. There were 150 of them on hand, including all the famous old veterans of the bow, and the contest did not end till midnight. There were prizes for the Best banjo picker, the best banjo, accordion, French and jew's harp players, the best left-handed fiddler, and best of all- there Was an overture by 150 fiddlers “who were born, not made.’’ And there was more real, old-time, homely melody here July 4 than was ever gathered since the morning stars sang together in the anthem ADMIRAL DEWEY’S DRESS - FOR STATE OCCASIONS s A@miral of the Navy George Dewey's official dress is prescribed and he must wear It when on duty.

A NCE @n actor. always an actor.” is to be demonstrated again. To- masso Salvini, who was born in Milan 69 years ago and retired from the Stage before some of us were old enough to go to the theater, is expected to give three performances in Paris during the Ex- position of 1900. He will play Othello, Sau) and Orestes. His son, Gustavo, will support him, playing Iago, David and Pyiades. If the old actor does appear, he will certainly draw great crowds and even more certainly get a great deal of money for it. But is it worth it? It would be like John L. Sullivan giving a sparring exhi- bition or Mrs, Langtry posing as the most beautiful. woman on earth. John L. and the Jersey Lily were both incomparable in their day and so was Salvini in his, but that day has gone.

John D. Hopkins doesn’t want to re- main away from 8t. Louis next winter, but the indications are that he will have to, as he can't get a theater. It is understood that he tried to get the Fourteenth Street Theater, but the men who control it pre- ferred to let a German stock company have it. It is said that the Colonel’s purpose was to put in a series of puglistic entertain- ments. The Giffen Stock Company, the organiza- tion that won golden opinions by its work at the Grand Opera House in St. Louis, and later played an engagement at the Tabor Grand in Denver, has disbanded. After the close of the Denver Engagement Manager Giffen took the company on a tour of one-night stands that lasted until the weather got too warm for it to be profitable, Aiberia Gailatin, the leading woman, and Theodore Hamilton, character man, are both in New York. The Lederer edict against blonde beauties for the chorus will not affect the St. Louls product, as a large majority of the sing- ers who have begun their stage career here or call this city their home have been dark of hair and eye, Della Fox and Adele Farringion were notable exceptions, but they both went on the stage way back yonder in the vasty mists of time, when Lillian Russel was the paragon of pulchri- tude, so they don’t count. Since then we have had Dorothy Morton, whose hair is black; Nellic Braggins, whose locks are as brown as autumn, The Stone s.sterse— Patti and Freda—were aimost bionde, but they escaped; Josephyne Newman, who went on the stage jast summer and has since married, is a strawberry bionde, but it is undersiood that the Lederer edict does not appiy to red hair, Then there are the two Kivera gire—black-eyed, bilack- haired Spanish beauties; Fannie Frankel, black haired and brown eyed; Sadie Pio.ke, whose eyes are the coor of strong coffee and whose hair is neariy jet biack, and Amy Lesile, w.th ight brown hair and cyes, It rea.iy doew seem that 8.

Rozins, -another European sensation; Dix- on, Bowers and Dixon, known as the three Rubes, will give their sketch; Con- way and Leland, the monopedes, will be seen in their specialty; the Pringle. Sisters are known as excellent musicians and vo- calists. and are attractive young women, prettily gowned and good to look upon, Among the best vocalists, who combine dancing with their singing specialty, are the Knight Brothers. They have not been seen here in a long time and will be prac- tically new in every way. The Hewetts, with their juggling turn, will round out the programme. The best of the summer show at the Highlands ie still to come, Col. Hop- kins having all sorts of surprises up his sieeve. The Pavilion Orchestra gives con- certs after every performance. This week at Ernest’s Pavilion, Mannion Park, commencing at to-day’s matinee, the minstrels will again hold forth, with an entire change of songs and jokes, and with all the favorite vocalists retained. The vaudeville part will be especially strong. The Donovans, who made such a hit last week in their original Irish character sketch, again head the olio, in a new sketch, written by Mr. Donovan, and seid to be as good, if not better, than the one they gave last week. Another attractive feature is a team of black face comedians and dancers, Williamson and Stone. The third number is the musical act of the Frederick Brothers, St. Louls artists, whose work is well known to local the- ater-goers. Tom Mack and Manager Charles M. Ernest will appear in a sketch, and the bill will close with James B. Dono- van's original comedy, ‘‘Dewey's Recep- tion,” introducing the Donovans and all the members of the company. At Uhrig’s Cave “Heart and Hand” will give way to-night to Balfe’s melod.ous “Bo- hemian Girl.” This opera has been the biggest drawing card that Manager Mc- Neary has ever held, since he has sat at the “receipt of custom” at his popular summer resort. There is more harmony, more melody, more rea! soul-reaching music in “The Bohemian Girl’ than in 99 out of 100 operas we have heard in the last two decades. Maud Lillian Berri will be the Arline, and just to hear her sing “1 Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls," to use an old the- atrical phrase; should “alone be worth the price of admission.”” Charles Hawley will be the Arnheim, William Stevens wil) sing Thaddeus and should be heard to advan- tage in “The Fair Land of Poland.”’ George Shields will be the Devilshoof, Edward Webb the Florenstein, Gertrude Lodge the Gypsy Queen and Mabel Klar Buddah, It is promised that the opera will be appro- priately costumed and mounted.> The free concerts given by Prof. William Madden’s orchestra nightly from 11 till 12 have been well attended—in fact, it is considered quite the correct thing to linger in the garden and enjoy the musical aftermath furnished by his clever musicians, There will be the usual bargain matinee on Saturday; only the Wednesday matinees have been omitted, as they interfered w:th the rehearsals for the next week's opera. The Woodmen of the World will have a benefit and reunion at Mannion Park every night this week, commencing on Monday, with Wednesday as the big night. This is due to the efforts of Chopper Camp No. 218. At Koerner’s Garden Managers Deming and McCormack will offer a new ed tion of minstrelay for the week commencing this afternoon. The firet part last week was excellent, but Manager Deming asserts that his offering this week will excel anything that he has ever attempted before. The personne] has been somewhat changed and the half circle will be considerably larger. The ond men will remain the same—Dan Allman, Arthur Deming, Harry Ferguson, Billy Rowe, Tom Madden and Dan sher- an. They will be adorned in new cos- tumes of yellow. Dan Aliman will intro- duce his costume song and dance for the first time in St. Louls, entitled, ‘She's the Only Yellow Lady in the Land,” It is a specialty with which he scored a big hit during the latter part of the regular sea- son in the East. Besides his bundle of new jokes, Arthur Deming will have a new puar- ody, “When We Have a World's Fair in Saint Looey.”” An important addition to the s.nging party will be found in the Manhattan Quartette, consisiing of Dan Casev. Joe F. Brockel, James’ MoNuity and Gallagher. Wiluam R.

Jim often attended my meetings after that. As @ boy he never bothered himself much about the girls, and he would have no foolishness. You never saw a mure earn- est, determined fellow. His cherished hope was to come to the front honestly. In school, he liked history. If he ever had an enemy I never heard of it. The “cham- pion of the world,” as they call him now, was always quiet and attended to his own business. When he was twenty-one years old he said to me: “Father, I have staid at home up to this time: to-day I must begin hustling for my- seif.’’ So Jim began hustling.

AN AMERICANIZED CFINOMAN, ssionary, Has Views Unlike Most of the Members of His Race but Hopes to Convert Them to the Religion He Has Adopted Se st yt ng Pe OREN aed som iad 25 Dr * ™ eRe ® rm 4. Se Re 3 es # ia AER JOG HAW IL, HS Wirt AND THEIR CHILDREN. : Dy Jeu Hawk, Chinese Missionary. ¢é BELIEVE the Chinese race will be converted to the Christian religion. “The creed of superstition, shat- tered by scientific truth, must give way to the teach'ngs of Christ as revea.ed in the Bible. “Our the circumstances of hended, before substantial achieved. “What a minister of the gospel insists upon as divinely right may appear to the heathen decidedly wrong. ‘The evange.ist’s work, too, can be ac- compl'shed without inciting mob vio.ence, if the proper discretion is exercised.” :} the foremost Chinese missionary of the Christian church tn the United States, who has just completed a short course of Bible lectures in St. Lou's. He was a resident of this city for nearly 14 years. He now has charge of a Chinese mission in Portland, Ore., where his wife and two children, Jeu Macy, aged 4, and Jeu Dungan, are at present living. The circumstances of his entrance into the Christian Church date from the murder in St. Louis of Lou Johnson, a Chinese, which occurred in 1884. + Hawk's father, Jeu Sing, together with six other Chinese were arrested, charged with the crice. The Rev. Calvin Blackwell, then pastor of Central Christian Church, interested him- self in the case and gained the friendship of Hawk, who was then only 15 years of age. Goon after he attended the Chinese school, which was supported by the members of Central Church. There were 14 scholars in attendance and Jeu Hawk soon stood at the head of his class. The teacher, Miss Sue Robinson, declared his# memory and intel- be marvelous. ge? cdot his father’s release from prison a fund was raised by the congregation of Central Church, whereby Jeu Hawk was enabled to pursue his studies at Drake Uni- Des Mo'nes. Io. ars coher child is named after the pro- fessor of theology there, D. R. Dungan, and his little g’rl is called after another member of the faculty, Mrs. A. C. Macy. Jeu Hawk continued at college from “836 to 1988, when his father ordered him home, The elder Jeu had at the time a laundry on Morgan street. Certain Chinese in- formed him that “Hawk was becoming what they termed a ‘Christian devil.’ ? There was a stormy scene when Hawk en- tered the parental roof. “You can’t go back any more,” said the father. “ ‘cause you can’t be a Chr stian.” It took the Chinese youth two years (to convince his father that he was learning nothing harmful. Then Jeu Sing yielded reluctantly. In 1892 Jeu Hawk finished his course at Drake University and was immediately as- be understood, life compre- be countrrmen must their results can HOSE are the words of Jeu Hawk, | signed te missionary work. . His views are positive and he expresses them in strong, terse language. Besiaes being an able English schclar, Jen Hawk speaks and reads Latin fluently. Seated in a wooden box in the laundry of Lee Sing at 68 Morgan street, he talked interesting for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. “We have a great work ahead of us, and when you come to consider the trials that beset the average missionary, you will not think the progress is slow tn Christian- izing the Chinese. “Trere are In the United States to-day about 100,000 Chinese. Of that number be- tween 6000 and 7000 are Christians. Is not that a pretty good record? “Out in Portland my mission has a mem- bership of over 60. All were converted in the iast two years. “In St. Louis there are about 100 Cnris- tian Chinese. “You must remember that when our young men emigrate here from China, they are thrown in with thelr own people; tence often lack the refining elements of good society. They fall into a rut as it were, and it is not easy to get them out, and demonstrate to them the folly of their ways. “The op'um habit fs a curse to our peo- ple. It enslaves them as does alcoho] our American brothers. We cannot preach too strongly against either. ‘Foreign missionaries make a_ serious mistake when they presume the Chinese peop.e as a who.e to be uneducated. There are schoo.s and universities In China inat produce the br.ghtest minds, “But phys.cs and chemistry and ¢iec- tricity disprove many faiuacies of ihe {ol- lowers of Confucius. For instante, cne of the tenets of the.r belief {s that there is a god of thunder and lightning, which. as we know, is produced by positive and ragative electr.c currenis. Instead of their idcgol- atrous image, we tell them it is a nitrogen oxygen and hydrogen which constitute the air. Such things as that strengthen our argument in behalf of the Christian re- ligion., “I intend to begin mission work in-China next year. No, I do not anticipate tre slightest difficulty in treating wit my countrymen. When I am jeerel at I shail simply say: “Very weil, If you co now care to iisten to me I sha.l go uway and return when I think you are prepared. “In 989 cases out of a 100 a mob can be subdued in this manner, We must always bear in mind that it takes time—a iong time for others to think as we do. If I had not been drilled in the precepts of Christianity so young, I should perhaps not be an audher- ent. of the Christian Church to-day. But mark you China will come to our way of thinking.” The Rev. Jeu Hawk is impressive in con- versuton. He talks in a .ow tone, and care- fuily measures every word. He seldom gets exci.ed. He is never lost for a word to ex- pre.- his meaning. His seimon is written aod rewritten a haif dozen times before delivery. He is a simple liver, though he earns enough to afford a good table. During his stay in St. Louls he stopped awhile with his cousin on Morgan. He was finishing a breakfast of rice when his visitor called. The place is not very invit- ing, even for a missionary, but Rev. Jeu Hawk said it suited his taste exact.y. He has several cousins living in St. Louis, and among them Jeu Kanee, the tea merchant, at Tenth and Locust sireets. | Frank B. Merryman, the attorney who is an elder in the Mt. Cabanne (Christan church, was counsel for Jeu Hawk’s father. “It Was @ memorable case,”’ said Mr. Mer- ryman, ‘“‘and the .ncidents surrounding it I suail never forget. as was in my oOu.ce one morning when a Chinese boy, apparently 14 years v.d, waned in. he heid a cap in his hana, and inquired anxiousiy if I was around. ‘**What can I do fur yuu, son?

To- masso Salvini, who was born in Milan 69 years ago and retired from the Stage before some of us were old enough to go to the theater, is expected to give three performances in Paris during the Ex- position of 1900. He will play Othello, Sau) and Orestes. His son, Gustavo, will support him, playing Iago, David and Pyiades. If the old actor does appear, he will certainly draw great crowds and even more certainly get a great deal of money for it. But is it worth it? It would be like John L. Sullivan giving a sparring exhi- bition or Mrs. Langtry posing as the most beautiful woman on earth. John L. and the Jersey Lily were both incomparable in their day and so was Salyini in his, but that day has gone.

Col. John D. Hopkins doesn’t want to re- main away from 8t. Louis next winter, but the indications are that he will have to, as he can't get a theater. It is understood that he tried to get the Fourteenth Street Theater, but the men who control it pre- ferred to let a German stock company have it. It is said that the Colonel's purpose was to put in a series of pugiistic entertain- ments. The Giffen Stock Company, the organiza- tion that won golden opinions by its work at the Grand Opera House in St. Louis, and later played an engagement at the Tabor Grand in Denver, has disbanded. Afver the close of the Denver Engagement Manager Giffen took the company on a tour of one-night stands that lasted until the weather got too warm for it to be profitable. Aiberia Gailatin, the leading woman, and Theodore Hamilton, character man, are both in New York. The Lederer edict against blonde beauties for the chorus will not affect the St. Louis product, as a large majority of the sing- ers who have begun their stage career here or call this city their home have been dark of hair and eye, Della Fox and Adele Farringion were notable exceptions, but they both went on the stage way back yonder in the vasty mists of time, when Lillian Russel was the paragon of pulchri- tude, so they don’t count. Since then we have had Dorothy Morton, whose hair ls black; Nellic Braggiu.s, whose locks are as brown as autumn. The Stone s.sters— Patti and Freda—were almost blonde, but they escaped; Josephyne Newman, who went on the stage jast summer and has since married, is a strawberry bionde, but it is undersiood that the Lederer edict does not appiy to red hair. Then there are the two Rivera girs—black-eyed, black- haired Spanish beauties; Fannie Frankel, black haired and brown eyed; Sadie Pio.ke, whose eyes are the coor of strong coffee and whose hair is neariy jet biack, and Amy Lesile, w.th light brown hair and eyes, It realy does acem that Bt.

The Donovane, who made such a hit last week in their original Irish character sketch, again head the olio, in a new sketch, written by Mr. Donovan, and said to be as good, if not better, than the one they gave last week. Another attractive feature is @ team of black face comedians and dancers, Williamson and Stone. The third number is the musical act of the Frederick Brothers, St. Louls artists, whose work is well known to local the- ater-goers. Tom Mack and Manager Charles M. Ernest will appear in a sketch, and the bill will close with James B. Dono- van's original comedy, ‘‘Dewey's Recep- tion,” introducing the Donovans and all the members of the company. At Uhrig’s Cave “Heart and Hand” will give way to-night to Balfe’s melod.ous “Bo- hemian Girl.” This opera has been the biggest drawing card that Manager Mc- Neary has ever held, since he has sat at the “receipt of custom” at his popular summer resort. There is more harmony, moire melody, more rea! soul-reaching muslo in “The Bohemian Girl” than in 99 out of 100 operas we have heard in the last two decades. Maud Lillian Berri will be the Arline, and just to hear her sing “I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls,” to use an old the- atrical phrase; should “alone be worth the price of admission.’”’ Charles Hawley will be the Arnheim, William Stevens will sing Thaddeus and should be heard to advan- tage in “The Fair Land of Poland." George Shields will be the Devilshoof, Edward Webb the Florenstein, Gertrude Lodge the Gypsy Queen and Mabel Klar Buddah, It is promised that the opera will be appro- priately costumed and mounted. The free concerts given by Prof. William Madden's orchestra nightly from 11 till 12 have been well atterded—in fact, it is considered quite the correct thing to linger in the garden and enjoy the musical aftermath furnished by his clever musicians, There will be the usual bargain matinee on Saturday; only the Wednesday matinees have been omitted, as they interfered with the rehearsals for the next week's opera. The Woodmen of the World will have a benefit and reunion at Mannion Park every night this week, commencing on Monday, with Wednesday as the big night. This is due to the efforts of Chopper Camp No. 218. At Koerner’s Garden Managers Deming and McCormack will offer a new ed tion of minstrelay for the week commencing this afternoon. The first part last week was excellent, but Manager Deming asserts that his offering this week will excel anything that he has ever attempted before. The personnel has been somewhat changed and the half circle will be considerably larger. The end men will remain the same—Dan Allman, Arthur Deming, Harry Fergu:on, Billy Rowe, Tom Madden and Dan Sher- an. They will be adorned in new cos- tumes of yellow. Dan Aliman will intro- duce his costume song and dance for the first time in 8&t. Louls, entitled, “She's ihe Only Yellow Lady in the Land.” It is a specialty with which he scored a big hit during the latter part of the regular sea- son in the East. Besides his bundle of new jokes, Arthur Deming will have a new pur- ody, “When We Have a World's Fair in Saint Looey.”” An important addition to the e.nging party will be found in the Manhattan Quartette, consisiing of Dan Casev. Joe F. Brockel, James MoNulty and Gallagher. Wiluam R. Henderson wil Officiate as the “distinguished gentieman” of the circle.

It is the kind of a piay a man likes to attend waen his wife isn't with him; he can go out to see friends in the middie of the first act, come back in the m.dd.e of the second and not lose the thread of the thing. The man wao originaily produced it at Boota’s Theater in New York 20 years ago, found such peopie as J. &. Clarke, W. E. Sheridan, Blanche DeBar and Fanny Morant none too good for the lead- ing roles. The story toid is that of a uew'y married man, who goes chasing after false gods, and drives his iovely wife back into the same gay society she had tabooed when, she gave her heart and hana and purse to Felix Featherly. There is a baby mixed up in the case. ee ee half no one seems to know who the baby belongs to, That helps to make things in- teresting, as the dramatic Personae insist with strange accord, on misconstruing everything that is said and done. .Lawrence Hanley plays Featherly and Edmund D. Lyons will be the mock militia hero, Maj. Wellington de Boots. Hugh Ford is Frank Icebrook and Miss Reed the much-abused Mrs. Featherly. Miss Jessie Iszett appears as the gay widow Swandown, and Miss Isa. bel O’Madigan as the major’s wife. There ee be a matinee to-day and another Satur- ay. “Gumpertz’ Summer Nights” hag becn Suggested as a good name for the enter- talnment at Suburban Garden. The fine Italian hand of the manager is seen in everything from the ministre], first part, to the transformation scenes on the switch- k. This week he is more than ever in evidence for his traveaty on the mountain scene from “Carmen” is to be produced with great eclat. Gumpertz has consumed many feet of midnight gas in recasting this Classic bit, and announces with unusual candor that nothing half so funny has been or will be seen this summer. Tom Lewis is to play Carmen and-will give the char- acter a twist that would make the soulful Nethersole a victim of paresis were she to see it. As for the author—saints rest his bones! On the minstrel, first part, George Thatcher will tell funny stories about the queer people he has known and will sing a parody or two. The verdict was entered last week that Thatcher has lost none of his mirth-provoking power and ey LILuian Pringle Forest (Y PARK L HIGHLANOS 7 ws, EOE aR aE tae Wis atthe TE eh we ten, NR eM Aieie B. DONOVAN, the @lever Irish comedian, who, with his wife, is play- an engagement at Mannion Park, has endl that misfortune is sometimes a blessing in disguise; also, that a man’s best work is often done under the whip of ne- cessity. These two factors made him. Several years ago Donovan stranded in Wichita, Kan. The show he was with failed, and he hed not the wherewith to pay his hotel bill or railroad fare. Instead of jumping his board bill, and counting rall- road ties honie, as many a good actor has done, Donovan set-to work to write a sketch. One would think tt hard to be funny under such. circumstances, but it is Donoven's business to be funny, and -ne- cessity only served to sharpen his wits. He wrote what proved to be the success of his career—‘‘Here’'s Another Dog'’—pro- duced it in Wichita and made enough mop- ey to pay his bill, railroad fare to Chicago and have $60 clear besides, That was the turning point in h‘s career. In Chicago he met.a-man named Lee, and together they opened a small museum, with a stage show included. There he met Miss Lottie Rice, an attractive Irish serio- comic singer. They fell in love with each other and were married. Since then they have appeared together in vaudeville as ‘The Donovans,” with considerable suc- cess, Tony Pastor saw the Donovans f{n “The Other Dog,” and was so pleased with them and the sketch, that he engaged them and “featured” them for three years’ without a change of bill. Mr. Donovan has been making money steadily ever since he “went broke’ in Wichita. He has never produced so good a sketch since. It might be a good thing for him to “go broke’’ again. 3 Donovan's methods in Irish character work are original and irresistibly funny. Without detraction to him however, it is only justice to say that his wife’s work very materially aids him. For instance in last week’s sketch a daub of face powder is rubbed on his coat, apparently by accident. He affects not to see it. She tries to call Pe: ay! wn Ky iy? ay : ie te is just ag funny as he ever was. He still preserves that quiet, unostentatious way of telling a gag that the English thought so strange when he was over there a few seasons ago. There is no buffoonery abvut Thatcher’s work. Carroll Johnson, never at a loss for a jolly song or a merry quip, will don another resplendent costume and flirt across the stage like a gay young coryphee, Fred Warren will also be heard from and Dan Quinlan continues to fill the interlocutor’e seat in his own way. Emma Carus, the woman with the bary- tone voice, has a prominent place on the olio bill and Hines and Remington, vaude- ville people, who never appear in a biil unless they can have their names in the biggest letters, are down for an act which it is said nobody else does or would have the nerve to do, — his attention to it, and appears to be over- come by genuine laughter. She is so natural in this that practically the whole audience believes the powder daub to be accidental and her risible collapse the real thing. The audience laughs and applauds, and the climax is reached when Donovan, perceiv- ing the powder inquires, with most comical] naivette, “Are you shedding or what?’ Notes of the Stage.

HANDFUL of sick, starved sailors, A now being slowly nursed back to health, have told their rescuers the story of the destruction of a brave ship and of more than twosoore lives. It was in January that the Loch Sloy sailed from Glasgow in command of Capt. Nichol, with a crew of five apprentices, 12 able seamen, two salimakers, a cook, a carpenter and a boy. Mrs. Nichol accom- panied her husband, and the other passen- gers wefte Mrs. Cartridge, Capt. and Mrs, Leicester, John Lamb, Walter Logan and James Kirkpatrick. Lil-luck pursued the ship from the start. Storms alternated with appalling seasons of fog and Were followed by leakages and a train of mishaps. When Kangaroo is- land was sighted the ship's people set up a shout of joy. Had the is.and been sight- ed a few hours sooner the wreck could have been avoided. The lack of the ligut- house was the chief cause o! the disaster. It was in the middie of the mate's watch on the morning of May 65. “Land ho!’ shouted the lookout. The crew were sunning themselves un- der the lee rail, enjoying a cup of coftee after the hard work of the storm. The ship was going like a race-horse. Breakers loomed up ahead amidst the eddying seas. “*Bout ship!’ shouted the captain, and all hands jumped for the halyards. The helm was thrown hard aport, but it was too late. The ship bumped heaviiy, ripped open, and before a boat could be cast loose she Was among the breakers and swept clean by the wicxed waters every moment. She had struck against a treacherous reef. In three minutes the mainmast fell with a crash over the weather side. Those who had been clinging to it were plunged into the sea. Wave after wave ate away the good ship's strength till her supports crum- bled and gave way. The foremast toppled and fell. A few minutes later the migxen Went, carrying all with it, and the. last. CKED hope of saving the ship vanished. For the drowning men and women there seemed Cnly death ahead. The huge waves were battering the ship's fragments against the reef, and land was a mile away. “I seized a lifebelt,” said WilHam J. Simpson, an apprentice, and one of the survivors, “and I remember nothing ese tll I found myself floating on some wreckage, and the shore not far away. I managed to cling to some rocks, where 1 found Mitchell, McMillan and Kirkpatrick, “We picked up a case of whisky and @ome cans of herring and got from them the strength to make our way to a cave on the shore,’’ From this point the story of the sur- Vivors is pitiful enough. From __ the Cave they crawled to the summit of a cliff, an upspeakably barren piace, where not a drop of water couid be found. The next day Mitchell and Simpson, guffering severe.y from thirst and hunger, as weil as from the pain of exposure, made their way along the cliff for severai mi.es in the hope of finding either a human being or some water. Failure added to their bodily torture. They had not the strength to return to their companions, and spent the night under some bushes. The next day Mitchell and McMillan, weak, but not yet hopeless, set out for water. MoMillan came back to tell the good news that a spring had been found and to get @ can to fill with it. The others never heard from him again nor found the water that he had dis- covered. ‘ They believed that weakness overcame him and that he fell from the cliff. For three weeks the surviving men led an existence of increasing torture. The only wonder ig that they did not die. Occasionally rain gave them thelr only relief, and they grew so thin from lack of- food that they were literally masses of bones.

Go they slept within its @heiter and subsisted upon such food as they could find until they were rescued by chance last week. The tough, dry grass that grew here and there in little clumps near the light- house was devoured eagerly by the fam- ished men. Horrible as it seems, they were glad to seize for food the dead penguins which they found there or the bits of sheiifish, long washed ashore, This wretched gustenance, however, was almost worse than none, and the men could bareiy have lived another day had they not been found and cared for, To-day they are patrolling the whbie length of the QueenBiand coast for daad bodies.

As I look back now I can remember mainly two things I aeked of him: To obey his parents, and to do what he did with all his might. I used to “brush” Jim when I thought he, needed it. I remember one time I heard him singing an ugly song. He kept the tune going a little too long to suit me, and I told him to quit. I always made it a rule to tell Jim only once what I wanted him to do. So, too, with his brothers. Well, the music went on, in epite of my warn- ing, and I went after him. It was all over in the first round. Jim never sang ques- tionable eongs after that. Whenever I told him anything he knew I meant it. I always dealt firmly with every one of the boys, and Mrs, Jeffries also was resolute. While I rarely resorted to cor- poreal punishment as a means of disci- pline, I found a little strap pretty whole- some once in a while. I never objected to the boys fhhaving their fun, but sometimes they went too far. I remember one incident that made me mighty proud of Jim when he was a lad in his teens, muscular and large for his age. We were holding a revival in a big tent not far from Los Angeles. The crowd had arrived, and everything went on smoothly till I began speaking. I do not recall what I said, but it was concerning salvation and the means of reaching it. ‘“You’re a liar, sir, and a hypocrite!’’ shouted a quarrelsome fellow in the back part of the tent, glaring straight at me.

His cherished hope was to come to the front honestly. In school, he liked history. If he ever had an enemy I never heard of it. The “cham- pion of the world,” as they call him now, was always quiet and attended to his own business. When he was twenty-one years old he sald to me: “Father, I have stala at home up to this time: to-day I must begin hustling for my- seif.”’ So Jim began huatiing.

At the age of 4 he has ordered to the Philippines to help sub- @te the rebellious natives. Until a few days @go he was stationed at St. Louls as re- ' @ruiting officer for the United Sjates Army. file came here Oct. 1, 1897, and served in that @apacity during the Spanish war. Wvery man who joined the regulars or Bought to enlist will remember the dash- amg looking officer with the flowing side kers and heavy mustache, and the , gTay eye, whose uniform fit him like m glove and who gave one the impression wf vigor, bravery and hard sense. Then he was Capt. Sweet. Now he is a @fajor, on his way to join the foot race @gsinst Aguinaldo and his black fighters. Two days after he was 17 years old, Gept. 6, 1862, Owen J. Sweet was appointed a Gecond Lieutenant in the 137th New York Gnfantry. He served in the second divi- gion of the third brigade of the 12th army corps, Army of the Potomac, and March 19, 1963, was made Second Lieutenant. It was at the battle of Gettysburg that he igiret distinguished himself. ‘His regiment had been holding a brigade ¥ront against repeated assaults from Gen. Hwell's corps, then massedinthe gorges of fRock Creek, On the night of July 2, 1863, the New York regiment was compelled to charge in order to hold its position. Or- Gers were given to hold Kulp’s Hill to | the death. Wolunteers were called for. ‘A deadly charge was made against the KHenfederate flank. Their advance was broken and they were driven out of their frorks. Tieut. Sweet led a diagonal assault and @irected such a galling and persistent fire mgainst the Confederate forces that they wvere compelled to retreat. Of the four officers with Lieut. Sweet, two were killed, one was wounded and one taken prisoner. Por his energy, good judgment and con- spicuous gallantry on that occasion, Lieut. Sweet received on the fiel@ the personal commendation of his immediate commander, Col. David Ireland. Of this feat his friends have always been proud.. Two months less than 18 years of age, he led a charge which apparently meant nothing short of death and never wavered till the end he sought was accomplished. But that was not all. At the battle of Resaca, Ga., he com- manded a division of his regiment in the front line in a charge on the Confederate position and aided in the capture of a 4-gun battery in the face of a fire that mowed down men on every side of him. At the battle of Pine Mountain he was the first officer to enter the enemy’s forti- fications after they had been driven out. There he was wounded in the shoulders. He fought in front of Savannah and when the city was captured he was again the first officer to scale the breastworks, be- hind which so many men had gone to their death. One of Capt. Sweet’s most daring feats was performed at the New Bridge on the Blackwater River. The bridge had been partially destroyed, The division and corps Wagon trains of the Union forces were waiting to cross. A Confederate force held the bridge. Capt. Sweet, then a Lieutenant, was in charge of sevéral hundred of “Sherman's Bummers.” Under a desultory cavalry and artillery fire he forced & passage through to the bridge, set his mén sto work, covered the bridge timbers with fence rails, fought his way across the river and drove the ene- my before him, clearing the New Bridge and the ones above. The wagon trains crossed in safety and Lieut. Sweet was the hero of the ‘hour. For his activity and gallantry at Lexing- ton Courthouse, Va., he received on the field the verbal commendation of Brevet- Major-General John W,. Geary, command- ing the second division of the 2th Army Corps, and later was thanked by the same officer during several smaller engagements. March 13, 1865, Lieut. Sweet, for gallant and meritorious services during the rebel- lion, was commissioned Brevet Major of volunteers by the Governor of New York. In their official reports he was mentioned “for particularly gallant conduct” by Gens. Hooker, Slocum, Greene, Geary and Bar- num during the battles of Chancellorville and Gettysburg, and for signally effective services during the campaigns of Atlanta, J. SWEET WAS THE 2 FUNSTON OF CIVIL WAR TIMES. Savannah and the Carolinas under Gen. Sherman. Lieut Sweet was mustered out of the vol- unteer service at Bladensburg, Md., June 9, 186. He was appointed Second Lieuten- ant of the 4th Regular Infantry, ‘May 27, 1867. Ever since then he has been in the army. In 1871 he was fighting Indians in the Sacramento and Guadalupe Mountains and in the Llano Estacado of Texas. A year later he waged war on the Apaches. In 1873 he fought the Kiowas and Comanches in ‘Texas. Oct, 19, 1886, he was promoted to a cap- taincy in the 24th Regular Infantry. In May, 189, he was intrusted with the work of marking the boundaries of Custer Bat- tlefield National Cemetery and of erecting the headstones for Custer’s men. In 18983 a medal commemorative of Nis serv- ices at the battle of Gettysburg was pre- sented to Capt. Sweet by the State of New York. From 1888 to 1897 he was fn charge-of com- pany D of the 2th Regular Infantry at Fort Custer, Mont. Oct. 1, 1897, Capt. Sweet became the Gov- ernment recruiting officer at St. Louis. THE PARISIAN KITCHEN a trifie larger than the American folding bed. A kitchen cabinet would be its fittest mame. One actually can turn ground in it. But as it makes no preten- gion to being a reception hall, but solely the place for preparing food, the contented @o not grumble that there is tight space for gnore than two chairs besides the working T*: kitchen in a Paris apartment is A closed dresser holds the dishes and eooking utensils, a safe holds the food, for fice is a luxury not common, and as the temperature is even and hot days are of geldom occurrence, it is not such a priva- tion to be without an ice chest as the ‘American housekeeper would imagine. ' The contented find on closer acquaintance with it much to admire in the little kitch- en; it is light, the stove is well placed, the @xtures are convenient and admirably ar- ranged for the pressing needs of economy. Bear in mind we are now thinking of an “apertment at less than 1000 francs a year rent. People with plenty of money can waste it in experiments in Paris as well as in St. Louis. ‘.@ne can arrange for gas to do the cook- @ne, but the native, old-fashioned way in mnodest housekeeping is to burn charcoal. ’ *Phe stove is a closed range half way placed én @ recess, under a projecting chimney and @iantel and above has three or five grated @éllarets sloping four inches down from @ @quare of eight to one of four inches. We cook one lights one or more fires, ac- cording as coffee, meat and vegetables (sep- ‘rately) are needed. If only one dish only ne cellaret is lighted. Two ovens are be- Sow; also the fron pans to hold the fall of wwood ashes. It is closed in front as tight- ty as a bookcase may be and arranged with Wampers to increase or subdue the flame. -M]he charcoal man brings a quantity of fir- tng once a week at a cost of 30 to 6 cents, wmecording to the amount of cooking, also @ supply of “diaboliques,” these being bun- les, the size of a double handful, of little @ticks, two inches long and an inch. thick, @ach dipped in pitch, three of which, if the hand is skillful, are enough te light the Bre for a day's cooking. + &s @ rule this process should not take @nore than two hours for a dinner In such #0 establishment. If one ig making pot mu feu, which takes four hours at least, Mhere comes in another economy in firing, allied the “boulettes.” These are bolts of ‘0al dust, or ground coal pressed by ma- chinery, and are about three inches long and an inch and one-half thick, which, after the pot boils, are put in the glowing charcoal to conserve the heat (and no more) until the food is cooked—a slow, low heat being reauired for pot au feu. One or two or three boulettes will do this. As a rule one does not put more than two boulettes under the pot. They will not do quick cooking and are only for the soup or stew process. They are sold by the dozen by the charcoal man, and I wonder some Yan- kee has not made “boulettes’’ for the peo- ple of small means here. I should say the material was ground coal or coal crumbs made coherent by some combustible cé- ment, That there are larger stoves burning an- thracite is obvious. But this is the native and characteristic method. When time is of greatest consideration with the family of humble means gas is used. oll is out of the question. Thanks to the Standard Oil concern, kerosene oil for lighting is dearer than gas. It costs 18, 20 and 22 cents a quart. This comes ter- ribly hard on the student, who knows to his cost how bad gas is for the eyes. Another economy in firing on the part of the old-fashioned French in Paris and the provinces is the chaufrette. In the autumn building the fire for warmth is considered either unnecessary or too expensive. but there are cold days, when no matter how sheltered the shoul- ders may feel with a wool fichu (little knit- ted shawl of yarn), the feet are too cold to sew or write comfortably. For this need the chaufrette serves kindly. It is a low, wooden box of about eight by 12 inches and eight inches deep. The top is punctured. It opens at the front side. where, relieved of two fastening hooks and loops at the top, it falls down and reveals its method of heating. It holds a low, yellow or brown “squat’’ vase of clay, into which hot ashes are put, then live coal, and finally to the top it is filled with hot ashes.

It is hard in these days to realize how great part the scouts of the ‘4s and ‘Ss played in the settlement and civilization ef the plains and the Pacific Coast. The earlier scouts, like Kit Carson and Jim Bridger, were originally trappers and hunters, born and reared in Missouri, Ten- nessee and Kentucky, who had a fondness for adventure. They had pushed their way across the border of civilization of those days and had gone upon the plains of Kan- sas, Nebraska and Texas for big game and excitement. The Mexican war of 1847 and the movement of troops through Texas and along the Rio Grande brought scouting into the army service. When the era of ox teams and excited gold seekers headed to- ward California began in 1849 there was a great demand for scouts at very profitable wages. Hundreds of young men with a smattering of plains life, an expertness in firearms and a little knowledge of Indian ways, became professional scouts. No emigration train would leave St. Jo- seph, Mo., or Leavenworth, Kan., on its journey of four or five months to the Pa- cific Ocean without an accompanying scout or guide for at least a part of the way. As the chain of army garrisons was extended out upon the plains the War Department employed more and more scouts for the troops, and scouting became a fort of sci- ence of the plains, in which there was com- petition in experience.

I give this quotation because it is not customary in Paris (except in a large private house) to buy firing in large quantities. A closed bin in or near the kitchen contains a week or fortnight’s fir- ing, which is the limit of purchase in small housekeeping. The bedrooms are warnicd, if at all, by a portabie stove on roliers, which, heated something on the pian of the Chaufrette, is wheeled about the apart- ment to take off the chill in whatever room it lurks. The open fireplace is tne excuse for a group of objects, charming in a house- furnishing aspect. The blazing logs are built on brass ‘‘dogs,’’ an appendage is the brass stand of shovel, poker and tongs, a trivet is ready for the brass tea kettle, the low fender stool is a vehicle for a pretty band of color, a brass fire screen is another belonging (if there are children in the room and live coals fiy), while for added grace there are one or more pretty hand-screens by which a French or English lady screcns her face from the glowing fire. Near the fire is placed the low table for tea a l’Anglaise; for here, as a rule, the hostess sits if she boil the kettle on the logs and wait on herself or a guest. Buf the lit- tle table is brought out and prepared on each occasion. One,would never keep an afternoon tea table covered and spread all day (and seldom used at thas) merely to show one rad such a thing and some pretty porcelain. No, the rule is that porcelain displayed in the saion, if at all, is there for its artistic quality and to serve as au orna- ment, and is not used at tea at all, while such as is used is kept in a vitrine (glass china cupboard, generally of the Lovig Quinze period) or the cupboard where ‘‘com- pany dishes’ are sheltered here and eéise- where. E nd LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM. [LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 67,104] **I cannot express my gratitude to you for the good that Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound has done forme. I have taken five bottles of the Compound and two boxes of Liver Pills and feel better in every respect. I had suffered for years with dropsy; the veins in my limbs burst, caused from the pressure of the water. I had the worst kind of kidney troukle, faint- ing spells, and I could not stand long atatime. I also had female weakness and the doctor said there was a tumor in my left side. The pains I had to stand were something dreadful. A friend handed me a little book of yours, so I got your medicine and it has saved my life. I felt better from the first bottle. The bloating and the tumors have all gone and I do not suffer any pain. Iam still using the Vegetable Compound and hope others may find relief as I have done from its use.”— Miss N. J.

Mrs. Pinkham responds quickly and which we had on board. a BEFORE THE om board the little filibustering steamer & few days ago. Capt. J. H. J. Wilborg & Teminiscent mood. Perhaps he recalled nonce the time he was sent te the peni- ntiary at Philadelphia for 16 months and com- | Delled to pay a fine of $800 and the costs of _ prosecution for having helped the Cubans in their | struggle for liberty prior to the Spanish-Amer- fean war. At all events, for the benefit of his three guests he called to his side Capt. Dickman, temporarily acting as mate, and Lieutenant Neil- son, serving as chief engineer, and proceeded to relate some of the inside secrets of the expedi- tions which left New York and Philadelphia for Cuba, in command of the fearless marines navi- gating the Bermuda, the Harsa, the Laurada and other sprightly little steamers carrying supplies and ammunition. T was 1 o'clock in the morning and | dark as pitch,” said one of the trio, “when we prepared for the last run, to land the men and the munitions of war Of the former there were altogether about 120, most of them strong, bright and determined young men- under the command of Captain Vidal. There were 75 tons of arms and ammuni- tion, including a Hotchkiss gun—a cargo valued at nearly $200,000. “We were only a few miles east of Cape Cruz, at the southwestern point of Cuba. The longboats, nine in number, built for the purpose to which they were to be put as part of a filibustering expedition, had been launched, two-thirds of the war ma- terial had been lowered into them and about 60 of the Cubans were ready to row away, when, with startling suddenness, a Spanish “gunboat’s lights were discovered drawing swiftly toward the scene. ‘There was the wildest excitement fol- lowing the discovery and at once the order was given to cut the boats adrift, put on all steam possible and for the vessel to g0 ahead on the instant. Col. Vidal and the other officers ‘had remained on board the ship and some of the men in the boats had clambered up the side. It was a case of sav- ing those on the steamer or being cap- tured, and everybody knew what that meant who could remember or who had read of the barbarous Virginius massacre. ‘As the Bermuda started off there came the booming of guns from the Spanish man- of-war, and simultaneously the cries and shrieks of men who had been or were still in the boats. Some of the gallant fellows sprang into the sea in the hope that they might swim ‘to shore, but it was a vain hope. They were doomed. Though the pite- ous appeals of others to be saved could be heard for some time we could do nothing for them. We could see the blanched faces of several even in the darkness of the night; see the gap between the vessel and the unfortunates widening rapidly, and then all seemed to be over. It was a sick- ening thought that these patriots had to be thus abandoned, and yet it seemed pos- sible that the boats could escape, while the vessel itself, had it remained many min- utes longer, could not have slipped off. It was a narrow shave, as it was, for the latter. “How many perished? Well, it was subse- quently reported that some had been saved and landed at Spanish Honduras. The num- ber killed by the Spanish shots or drowned was said to be about 37, and this was be- lieved to be correct. At any rate, we never saw any of those who were left in the boats alive again. The steamer’s bow was turned toward Spanish Honduras, and on arriving there, before going into port, all of the arms and ammunition, still in the hold, were brought up and thrown over- board. . ‘The surviving Cubans were allowed to land as Jaborers who were going to work .on a plantation. Captain Reilly had offered previous to this to make another attempt to put the Cuban volunteers ashore in, their own country, but the leaders of the latter did not take to the proposition, because only the steamer’s boats remained, and he did not regard them as strong enough for the emergency.” Capt. Wilborg told of another exciting ex- perience which the Bermuda encountered off Liberty Island, N. J. The vessel had been carefully prepared for what was ex- pected to be the most important of all the expeditions sent out. It was to carry the late General Calixto Garcia, the hero of the ten years’ war, to the scene of strife, there to renew the battle for the libera- tion of his people. Two lighters lay not + . =) SPANISH WAR.” — far distant from the steamer. On these were Capt. Hart and Capt. Sam Hughes, who was tried and acquitted at Charleston, 8. C., on a-charge similar to that upon which Wilborg was sent to the peniten- tlary. Garcia was on the-ship, and so was Chief Engineer Neilson, together with two members of the Cuban Junta, when suddenly a tug ran alongside and in almost less time than it takes to tell the story, deputy marshals and Pinkerton detectives were swarming about the decks. All hands were captured, including those on the Hghters, from which the war ma- terial had not yet been removed. Following these arrests came indictment and trial. But the accused were found not guilty— this after Garcia had “jumped” his bail. The old general, before he disappeared from New York, addressed a letter to the people of the United States, explaining that he was running away so that he might take the fleld against the Spaniards. “THis,’ said Capt. Wilborg, “was the trip that sent me to the penitentiary.” Capt. Dickman was in command of the famous steamer Laurada during the ex- citing days of filibustering. On one of his voyages, one that was enveloped in s0 much mystery that even Senor Congosto, their Consul at Philadelphia and afte- wards Captain-General Weyler’s right hand man at Havana, could not for a long time learn anything about it. Gen. Fernandez Ruz and 92 patriote made the voyage with a big supply of war material, including over 1000 pounds of dynamite. The ship was bound for Nuevitas del Principe, the nearest point to the headquarters of Pres- ident Cisneros and the Government of the Cuban Republic. Twice an attempt to land at night failed, owing to heavy seas and at last it was determined to do the trick in broad daylight. It was a most dangerous undertaking, but the men who were going to the aid of the revolutionists were fear- less fellows and they succeeded in tting ashore with the arms and ammunition. **Ruz’s original intention had been to land at Cape Cruz,”’ said Dickman. “‘Why he did not do so I have never learned, Sub- sequent to the General’s arrival in Cuba & rumor reached me that he had been shot by order of the President of the Republic because ‘the declined to turn over some of the munitions which the Laurada had car- ried to Cisneros. Whether such wag his fate I cannot say. I did not hear any- thing about him, if he was alive, after- ward. He was a brave man and if he was executed as reported, it was Sa my mind an unjustifiable act on the part of the President of the Repuwblic."’ * All of these former filibusters and those who hold responsible positions on the Ber- muda have been at sea from boyhood, have been all over the world, and have had many narrow escapes from death by idrown- ing. Wilborn was born in Denmark, and has been aboard ship, before the mast and as master, in the Baltic, the Mediterranean, the White Sea, the Caribbean and the Pa- cific. He also served as a lieutenant of reserves in the Danish navy. Once the ship on which he sailed was wrecked in the mid- dle of the North Sea but all hands were rescued. When he was tried before Judge Butler In this city for violation of the neu- trality laws, the case was the second of its kin@® that had come before the /United States Courts In half a century. Charles B. Dickman, the first mate, ts a Yankee, hailing from Augusta, Mé,,) where as a boy he served papers for Jatnes G. Blaine, who was then editor and proprietor of the Kennebec Journal. As sailor and navigator, he has been shipwrecked sev- eral times. Chief Engineer Charles P. Neilson, native of Denmark, has seen service in many climes; has been to England and France, at the Baltic and the Straits of Magellan, to Chile, Peru and Brazil. During the war with Spain Neilson tendered his nen to the United States Government and they were at once accepted. He was assigned to the transfer ship Celtic as chief engineer with the rank of lieutenant and remained with her all the time that.she was engaged in carrying food to the fleets of Sdmpson and ‘Schley off the coast of Cuba, shes the capture of Santiago his ship was ordered to proceed to Manila, but later on was stopped and went to San Francisco, where Neilson was given an honorable discharge. NEBRASKA IS THREATENED WITH A PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS. By Lawrence Bruner, Acting State Ete- mologist of Nebraska. URING the past few years injury by locusts, or grasshoppers, as they are usually called in this country, has been reported from various localities in the interior of North America. Even within the present month quite a number of such reports have reached us from different lo- calittes within our own State. By means of specimens obtained and examined by the entomologist at the State University it hag been learned that at least four or five dis- tinct kinds of these insects are sufficiently numerous in localities within the State to cause alarm. They are the following ones: The two-lined locust (Melanoplus bivitta- tus), the differential locust (M. differen- tialis), the red-legged locust (M. femur-ru- brum), the lesser migratory locust (M. At- lantis), and the Rocky Mountain or migra- torv locust (M. spretus). The presence in uncommonly large num- bers of the Rocky Mountain, or migratory, species at several points seems to- warrant us in urging the althorities to action with a view to the destruction of the. pest wher- ever found. While this particular species fs in reality no more destructive to crops than would be an eaual number of individuals of any of the other named above, their habit of get- ting up into the alr and migrating in a body to some other locality renders it capable of greater injury. It is by this means that the insect from various enemies and unfavorable climatic conditions, The various species that are figured here- with will readily be recognised by the read- ers of this short sketch. While it is im- possible to enter into any extended discus- gion of locust increase and the consequent injuries arising from such multiplication of the insects, a brief statement may not be amiss. During normal eee of weather, etc., the insects of any region are kept within bounds by means of their natural enemies, and no dire results fol- low. When these conditions are disturbed in any way and restraining influences are ot creased amount of food, and we see the result more plainly. Some kinds of iocusts prefer different haunts and food plants from what oth- ers do, and hence the seeming difference in the amount of harm done by each. When the natural checks upon locusts, increase seem to fail and these insects multiply abnormally, it is necessary to use artificial means to reduce thelr numbers. It is chiefly to suggest what can be done in this direction that the present article has been written. First of all, I wish to suggest that our native birds be protected, since nearly all of them are especially fond of locusts as a diet during the summer months. When our prairie chickens and grouse were numerous no harm whatever was reported as coming trom ‘‘native grasshoppers.” Quails, plovers, blackbirds, sparrows, hawks and even ducks are known to feed iargely n these insects. A single bird of any of cles will destroy thousands of these in- sects. Where the birds are destroyed these extra thousands of insects soon increase be- yond the normal and injury results, Year alter year the gap is made wider and the : Ssibilities of harm increase. Even frogs, a snakes and other animals that come = er our ban destroy many of these de- heuctive locusts, and every time | it ‘Dosen a, destroy one of them we e hapeaible or their natural] food to Only three weeks a go the writer saw osens Of birds engaged in feeding upon the the migrating locust in Sioux the insects had hatched in eys by the miliions. from th mal a ls that habitually ese insects are umerous kinds of other insects course, increase and de © as their food increases OF ey also are affected Hi- ma tic con Conditions that a ncrease favorable bo wet abou he increase in dest!
