Miss Helen Grenfell, State Buperintendent of Public Instruetion of Colorado, read a paper in the general sessien hearing the Suggestive title, “Quo Vadimus,” which bore upon relations existing and which ought to exist between the school and the home. Hon. H. IL. gig Superintendent of Public Instruction of Wisconsin, in dealing with “Fundamentals in Teaching,” struck a respondent note in outlining how far the individual freedom of the tepener ig bounded by the organization of the school curriculum. In the several department sessions almost the entire gamut of education was discussed from child study through the kindergarten and grammar grades, the polytechnic and art branches, te the ultimate points of a | business college curriculum on the one hand and the university course on the other. In the initial stage of what in its en- tirety was a prolonged discussion of ex- isting methods, child study was taken up as the missing link between the home anid the school, and at the other end of the continuous line President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University and Dr. Nicholas M. Butler of Columbia University engaged in a discussion on the practica- bility of a national university—a question of the greatest interest and import to educators, as well as to the cultured peo- ple throughout the country. But in addition to these various phases of educational effort, the highly specialized form of education adapted to the needs of the deaf, blind and feeble-minded has been under consideration; the physical ed- ucation has. not been nawieeted and a pa- triotic tinge has been given to the entire proceedings by a discussion before the Herbart Society of the “Significance of the lrontier in American Histery.” INVESTIGATING MR. RIDGLEY. IIouse Committee Wants to Know About Those Park Concerts. — The House Committee, which is to in- vestigate charges against Park Commis- sioner Ridgely began the hearing at 2 o'clock Wednesday. Park Commissioner Ridgely has been appenast. It is stated that Mayor Ziegenhein and Senator Charles Schweickardt are more the subjects of the investigation than the Park Commissioner. The Senator conducts the Cottage, the only saloon in the park. He gives evening band concerts. The evening coneerts given by the city competed with his attraction, and it is stated that the Mavor used his influence with the Park Commissioner to have one of the city con- certs held Saturday afternoon; thus leay- ing only one city concert for the Senator to compete with.

WASHINGTON, July 12—An offer from a prominent firm of ship brokers, doing a large foreign business, to purchase the Reina Mercedes and any and all of the war craft captured during the late war, has aroused a suspicion that Spain is trying in this indirect manner to obtain possession of the vessels and thus remove the offense to Spanish pride caused by the floating of the American flag over her ships. Phe offer mentioned ro figures, but almply re- quested that the Navy Department name its price for the Mercedes and the remain- der of the captured Spanish ships. ‘The Navy Department will not sell any ot these vessels and that answer will be re- | turned to the writer of the letter, Secre- tary Long has decided that it would not pay to attempt to renovate the Mercedes and use her as a warship. The cost would be half a million of dollars and the ship would, when repaired, be of old type and not up to the requirements of a modern . naval ship.

OBSTACLES ON EVERY HAND. GT. LOUIS’ PROTEST POINTS OUT A SERIOUS DANGER. The Question Now Is Can the Illinois River Be Converted Into a Wa- terway as Well as a Sewer Outlet. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, July 12.—St. Louis has made an emphatic protest against the opening of Chicago's drainage canal; the sanitary board in charge of the work is in conflict with the Illinois and Michigan Canal Board, for whom the Sanitary Board is construct- ing a dam on the Illinois River, and upon the whole the troubles over the sewer through which Chicago expects to dis- charge her offal into the Mississippi River thicken as the time set for the opening of the ditch approaches. The Sanitary Board derived little comfort in its visit to St. Louls. They find that the opposition of the people there was only increased by the advent of the Chicago men in St. Louis. To modify, if not obliterate, this sentiment in St. Louis, Alton and towns along the Lower Illinois, the proposition is now made to make a demand upon Congress that it be made a navigable waterway to carry the largest modern river vessels, and that the drainage channel of Chicago itself be converted into a waterway linking Lake Michigan with the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico. , Chicago must now set herself to the task of answering this question: “If Lake Mich- igan and the Illinois are not to be con- nected by a navigable waterway what is to become of the discharge into the Illinois from the drainage channel, or how shall the river be made to safely contain it?’ Telegraphic advices from St. Louis state that City Counsel Schnurmecher has been empowered by the joint committee of the Municipal Assembly to file a bill in the Federal Court in Chicago praying for an injunction against the canal. In the reso- lution adopted at the meeting of the com- mittee in St. Louis the reason for bring- ing -sult fis given as the pollution of the water supply of St. Louis by the flow of sewage through the canal and the Illinois River to the issisaippi. When the bill is filed a counter-petition will be presented by the attorney for the drainage board, in which the primary rv ment will be that the increased flow of - 000 cubic feet of water a minute through the canal will avert the danger of pollution ont make the water supply in the Illinois Talley and at St. Louis of a better char- acter than hitherto, owing to the stronger current. Nothing will be done here, how- ever, until Louis files its bill. The announcement from St. Louls follows closely the threat of the people in the IIli- nois Valley to wet an injunction against the opening of the canal. “When @ commission from St. Louis came up to make an inspection of the canal,” said President Boldenweck, ‘‘it as- sured me personally that it had no fear the water supply of St. Louls would be at all affected. @ were made to believe the visitors would return to St. Louis and re- por there was no ground for apprehension. ut it was intimated the people of St. Louis expected them to return a report ad- verse to the district. This they did in spite of their statements to the contrary. ‘IT understand certain ersons in St. Louis are advocating a filtration scheme and are working for an appropriation for this purpose. o encourage the people to have such an appropriation passed it was lanned to have the commissioners come ack and report that the water supply would be polluted. In other words, they used the report as a sort of club.”’ “The Federal Court will not grant an injunction on an ex-parte statement from the 8t. Louis people, and will call us in to answer the charge. I have no doubt our arguments will be strong enough to pre- vent an injunction being issued. The same applies to the threats made by people in the valley. Citizens of the district have no reason for anxiety on this score.’ Problems which some sanitary district trustees have been careful to keep from the knowledge of the general public are ow forging to the front, and the Illinois iver becomes a mighty question, in which, on the authority of engineers of the stamp of Mr. Randolph, Chicago will b fly forced to interest itself. 5 mak in t ak. m drainage chan into it. From the two tests they will determine how im ure, if at all, the river water is made by the sewage discha from Chicago. This is the sani- a side of the question. ere is also the side of determining how much overflow, if any, the channel will cause in the river, what lands will be sub- merged, what damage will be caused, what claims there may be against the sanitary district. Issues such as these, now that the channel is almost completed, have brought the residents of the valley and the sanitary district trustees to a point where mutual agreement and action would mene the difficulties vastly easier of solu- The Des Plaines and the Kankakee Rivers uniting south of Joliet form the Illinois River.

In 1838 the United States Government made a survey of the Illinois, and in 1852 appropriated $30.- 000 for a | it. The Albert survey of 1866 is the first which gives definite idea of the magnitude of the Illinois. now to be augment by the addition of 300.000 cubic feet of water a minute to its current. The [ilinois is supplied by drainage from a prairie courtry exceeding in area 27.000 equare miles, The entire length of the river including either tributary, the Kankakee or Des Plaines, is miles. The so-called Wilson survey determined that the river could be made navigable for the largest ae River beats by a system of locks and dame. These locks and dams would secure an everage depth of water of seven feet. The cost of eo improving the river south of La Salle was placed at $2.- 0.000. In 1867 a plan was submitted to Congress by which navigation could be had from Lake Michigan to the Mississipp! via the @tate Canal and the Illinois at an expense of $18,200,000 ther surveys were made and other plans Grawn, but the great, definite proposition to connect the Illinois and Lake Michigan After the State constructed the two dams and locks at Henry and Cop.

Residents of Villages Annexed by Webster Groves Sued for Taxes That They Refuse to Pay. The town of Webster Groves has filed nearly 100 suits against residents of Tuxedo, Maplewood and Old Orchard, ta enforee the payment of personal tax bills. Other per- sonal tax suits will be brought during the week and in a few days similar suits will be instituted in the Circuit Court at Clay- ton by the town of Webster Groves against property owners to enforce payment of taxes on property. The suits were instituted in Justice C. H. Soqgemet? court in Webster Groves by T. S. Burnett, who has been employed as spe- cial attorney for the town to collect the taxes. The bringing of these suits, by which the town of Webster Groves hopes to recover more than $15,000 in personal and property taxes, grows out of the annexation of ‘ux- edo, Old Orchard, Maplewood and Sunny Side to Webster Groves several youre ago. Before the annexation of these places the were exempt from the payment of munl- cipal taxes and many of the residents objected strongly to annexation. They were given no voice in the matter, however, and according to the new State law were in- corporated on the application of the resi- dents of Webster Groves. The new State law does not require a charter in the mat- ter of annexating additional territory. Web- ster Groves wanted to annex these sur- rounding towns for the double purpose of insuring better official proteotion and to thwart any attempt that might be made by the city of St. Louis to bring the suburb into its city limits. Webster Groves, by the addition of territory, became a city of the third class, and, therefore, cannot be tak- en in by St. Louis without the consent of the property owners of the town. Those re- siding in the newly acquired territory had no especial objection to becoming a part of St. Louls. and in fact many of them stated that they would rather be a part of St- Louis than a part of Webster Groves, Not- withstanding their objection, however, they were annexed, and there has been trouble in the consolidated towns ever = of the first movements made by the new popuiation was to declare the corpor4- tion illegal. Steps were taken to secure a divorce from the town of Webster Groves. Proceedings in the Supreme Court are still pending. he suit has been tried but no de- cision tas been rendered and many do not expect a decision for a year or more. Ob- serving the inevitable delay, many of the residents of the additions bound themselves to refuse to pay any taxes until] the suit was decided. Every possible effort was made by the old town of Webster Groves to dissuade them from this stand, and finding all in vain the city collector by the order of the Town Board sent out indiyidual warnings to each of the taxpayers that legal proceed- ings would be instituted. Neither persua- sons nor threats had any effect. The contestants of neither side expect to gain any immediate results from the steps that have beer taken, but the fight has now reached the stage of obstinacy and neither party will yield. One side says: We will not become a part of Webster Groves,’ and the other side declares’ ‘‘We will force you to be a part of Webster Groves. While the fight is pending the delin- quents are being charged with compound interest on the tax bills and the sum will soon assume enormous proportions.

ROCKWELL. [LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 69,884] ‘‘I was a great sufferer from female weakness and had nostrength. It was impossible for me to attend to my household duties. I had tried every- thing and many doctors, but found no relief. ‘*My sister advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which I did; before using all of one bottle I felt better. I kept on with it and to my great surprise I am cured. All who suffer from female complaints should give it a trial."—Mrs. Rocx- WELL, 1209 S. Division St., Granp Rapips, Micu.

With CROSS-CONTINENT RAILWAY LINES, The Project Now in the Mind of the Vanderbilts. THROUGH ROUTE TO PACIFIC. NEW YORK CENTRAL, NORTH. WESTERN, UNION PACIFIC. The Pennsylvania Has Designs on an Ocean to Ocean Line by Way of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. = NEW YORK, July 12.—One of the certain- ties of the not distant future, in the opinion of Wall street, is the establishment of a transcontinental railway line under Van- derbilt control. The Boston & Albany, the New York Central and the West Shore are the Vanderbilt lines linking New York and Boston, the great cities of the Eastern sea- board, with Buffalo; and Buffalo is joined to Chicago by the Lake Shore, the Michi- gan Central and the Nickel Plate. The Chi- cago & Northwestern, which is practically a Vanderbilt road, stretches westward from Chicago to Omaha, where it meets the Union (Pacific, a controlling interest in which also the Vanderbilts are credited with holding. The Western termini of the Union Pacific are Granger, Wyo., and Og- den, Utah. At both points the road con- nects with the Oregon Short Line. From Granger tae Short Line runs northwest- ward to Huntington, Ore., where it con- nects with the Oregon Railway and Naviga- tion Co., extending to the Pacific Coast from Ogden, 3nd from Ogvien a branch goes south to Milford, Io., from which place the Utah & Pacific is being built into Cali- fornia, with a view to enabling the Union Pacific to gain entrance to San Francisco. As already said, the Vanderbilts are com- monly understood to control both the Northwestern and Union Pacific. But the Union Pacific controls the Oregon Short Line, owning $26,023,700 of its $27,460,100 capital stock, and the Oregon Short Line virtually controls the Oregon Railway anc Navigation Company, owning more than 16,000,000 of its $24,000,000 common stock, a controlling interest in the $11,000,000 pre- ferred stock, however, bein held by the Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and Great Northern. The voting power of the Oregon Railway and Navigation stock, it should be said, is lodged with the Central Trust of New York, the preferred baveng the right to nominate 10 directors and the common these several controls controls, Wall street argues, not be beyond the power of . Vanderbilt to realize the am- bition which he is everywhere believed to cherish of coaiescing these connecting lines into a vast system from ocean to ocean. While it. is well understood that a cordial understanding exists between the New York Central, under the management of William K. Vanderbilt, and the Pennsyl- vania, under the guidance of its new presi- dent, A. J. Caseatt, this understanding ex- tending to the development of plans for a division of territory in New England and to an agreement to act together in the maintenance of rates, no one now belleves, if, indeed, any one ever has believed, that a consolidation of these two great systems, occupying such an important part of the field east of Chicago, would be effected. As these natural rivals in business are work- ing in harmony east of Chicago, 6o they may by and by be found competing on a basis of good faith and mutual regard in the Western ccuntry, for rumors are begin- ning to be heard with increasing persist- ency that the Pennsylvania, like the New York Central, is contemplating an exten- sion of its lines to the Pacific. The Atchi- eon, Topeka & Sante Fe is the road which report it will be combined with the Pennsylvania to form the second great transcontinental system. The Atchison is itself an enormous sys- tem with its nearly 7000 miles of length and its capital stock of $233,000,000 and bonds outstanding to the amount of §$126,000,000, but this is an era of colossal combinations and it is well within the bounds of possi- bility that the two systems may coalesce, The Atchison has a clear line all the way from Chicago to Mojave in Southern Calil- fornia. It uses the uthern Pacific tracks for the 68 miles between Mojave and Bakersfield, from the latter place reaching San Francisco by the line acquired by It last year, the San Francisco & San Joaquin Valley Road. Recently the buying of Atchi- son has been for the account of substan- tial interests. The Rockefellers are heavy owners of Atchison securities and it is a ee . fact that the Rockefellers have within the last month been active buyers of Pennsylvania stock. A third transconti- nental line, it is believed by not a few ob- servers of the trend of railway ownership and affiliations, will some day be formed by the consolidation of the baltimore & Ohio, the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific, but this combination is thought to - further away than either of the other wo.

An Order on the Election Board for a List of Votes Cast. Judge Flitcraft has ordered the Board of Election Commissioners to show cause Monday why they do not comply with his order to give Henry Wander a list of the voters for the member of the House of Delegates from the Sixth Ward. The order was made Tuesday, but the Commissioners refused to obey it, claiming a list of the voters would destroy the se- crecy of the ballot. Wander, who is a Republican, is contest- ing the right of the successful Democratic candidate to take his seat. Horseman’s Case Postponed. The application of Thomas M.

An Incident of His Career When His Family Had Smallpox—He Was With ‘Bill’? Anderson, Friends of John Franklin Crews, the vet- eran newspaper worker, whose death was chronicled in late editions of the Post-Dis- patch Tuesday, are finding subjects for con- versation in reviewing the old man’s career. He was a Welshman, small of stature, but wiry and strong and fearless. He thought for himself on al] st‘bjects and would no more think of yielding an opinion than he would of wearing a buffalo robe on the Fourth of July. A great many persons re- garded him as erratic and he knew they d, but he was serene in the belief that hey and not he were afflicted with obliquity f mental vision. He had great respect for the law, in so ar as he approved of it. Beyond that he did ot go. He demonstrated his confidence in him- elf and his determinaticn to go his own alt during the smallpox epidemic of 1886. ‘Mr. Crews was then living with his chil- 4ren in a two-story house in North St. uls. Two of tne children contracted mallpox. The health authorities sent men o the house to remove the patients to the bestnouse. ' Mr. Crews said his children should not go to the pesthouse. They were in their own home and should remain there until they died or got well. If the community didn't like their proximity the community could get out of the neighborhood. . ’ The health authorities expostulated. Mr. ties th was Obdurate. The health authori- i es threatened. Mr. Crews shoved the muz- le of a double barreled shotgun out of a window and told the health authorities that he didn't value threats; if an attempt were ade to invade his castle he would kill at ast two of. the invaders and probably ore. The health authorities withdrew for a onsultation. Mr. Crews strengthened his efenses by nailing down the lower windows of the house and piling furniture against all the down stairs doors but one, which he fitted with an extra bolt. He wanted to be able to open this door easily in order to let the doctor in. Then he took counsel of his neighbors. He told them that his children should not be moved, but that he. didn’t intend to subject any one to danger of infection from them. If the neighbors would aid him he would establish a quarantine of his own. His plan was to let down buckets from the second story windows, in which the neigh- bors should put food and water, all of which he would pay for when his troubles were over. The neighbors stood by Mr. Crews. The health authorities protested and railed without avail. Mr. Crews stood guard at a second story window with his shotgun and suffered no one to approach except those in whom he had confidence. He let the doctor in twice a day, and drew up his food. water and medicine by means of ropes. His fuel gave out and the weather turned cold. He took an ax and cut away part of In this manner he held his castle for weeks, and finally his children recovered. Then he let the health authorities come in and fumigate the house, after which he set to work to pay tha debts he had made during the siege. It was a curious inci- dent; one small man, nearly 6 years old, defying the constituted authorities of a great city and triumphing over them by vir- tue of a strong will and a 12-bore shot- un. He was never punished for his de- ance of the law. Mr. Crews was 78 years old when he died. He came to this country from Wales the roof of the house and used it for fire- with hie father when a small father, Hamilton Crews, is still livi Fayette, Howard County.

Van Blarcom, in yesterday’s Post-Dispatch, gave inspiring testimony in behalf of the World’s Fair. ~ Mr. Van Blarcom expressed his firm belief in the advantages to St. Louis of the World's Fair from every standpoint. It "Swill advance education and broaden the views of the people provement of the condition of the workingman; which does not devote its profits, first, to the increase of the pay of the Wage earner, and then to the payment of dividends.” This is good business sense, but it is something more. It is farsighted wisdom. The trusts themselves must soon see that profit cannot be made out of an impoverished people. If they monopolize all the natural resources of the country and reduce the inhabi- tants to a condition of vassalage they must not expect a flourishing business. A nation in the throes of poverty is not a gocd market, although it may contain a few enormously rich individuals. | o—e +. . on +. +. a id ~ a ~ , a... ———— , ~ ~ r= a in , a -~s a [_ a — ~) ee - ~ “ FOR THE bd _ - — - — ™ a . . 4“ - = a a , = © , , , 4 ~ y ~ , + *- — al af RK: PO ee — ™ _, i a a ° a Be! — - — bl 4 4 4 4 — ~ — a > - ¢ oo 4 a 7 = The logic of the trust movement is inexorable. Either the monopolists must apropriate all the wealth of the land and virtually own the people as well; in which case we shall have a sort of aristocracy, loveless, pitiless, brutal—or the people must somehow become partakers of the good of industrial organization; in which case the whole social body will be reinvigorated, prosperity will be justly distributed and no. man will be in danger of losing his manhood by reason ef economic dependence. Coming from the camp of monopoly Mr. Dill’s words are singularly sane and encouraging. “It will require hard and persistent work to enable the public to remember the names of those persons who partici- pated in the late Buffalo conference,” says an Administration organ. It is indeed a sad truth that the names of unscrupu- lous politicians are better remembered than those of thought- ful, educated men, who have their country’s best interests at heart. What names are so familiar as those of the corrupt political bosses, the embodiment of selfishness and greed? = = * — SS = ANNEXATION UNDER PRESSURE It is given out at Washington that the President is meditat- ing a plan to annex the Island of Cuba. At the outbreak of the Spanish war Congress passed the folowing resolution: That the United States hereby disclaims any dispo- sition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over said island except for the pacification thereof, and asserts its détermination, when that is accomplished, to leave the government and control of the island to its peo- ple. : By. this resolution the United States Government is pledged to evacuate the island as soon as the work of pacification is completed. ‘he army is there for the purpose of pacifica- tion and no other. To submit the question of annexation to the people of Cuba while American troops are quartered in the provinces would be a violation of the pledge and a breach of faith. The Cubans-must be left entirely free to act as they choose, and they cannot be thus free in the presence of an army which they may think—rightly or wrongly—is to be used to coerce a favorable vote. Annexation may be the best policy. It may be for the best interests of Cubans and Americans alike. But it is for the Cubans themselves to say when it shall be, and they have, with us, an equal right to fix the terms. Anything like “pressure,” be it military, political or financial, would be dishonorable. a — » fie oD The Fresident favors annexation because he thinks the ac- quisition of a great territory during his administration would give him a larger place in history than a just dealing with the neople of thc islands we invaded in the Spanish war. And perhaps it would. ‘‘The evil that men do lives after them.” a. Le i i A The fight against corporations that prey upon the people is a hard cne to make, but it is a good one. Despite corrupt gov- ernors, corrupt legislative bodies and corrupt courts, the peo- ple have the ballot and can win in any contest which they will undertake with energy and perseverance. = = If the people of Cuba are permitted to vote on the question of annexation to the United States, the people of the Philip- pines should be given the same opportunity. Peaceable an- nexation would be opposed by very few Americans. It would make “the white man’s burden’ much lighter. i i 4 If any one in France-had a doubt that Boni Castellane is a fool, that doubt has been removed by his silly letter to the The Post-Dispatch, in urging all St. Louisans to unite in cordial support of World’s Fair, is not seeking to build up a special subscription list. Weare 2 asking those upon whom we call in behalf of the Fair to subscribe through the Post Dispatch. The purpose of the Post-Dispatch is to harmonize and crystallize eats ; Le 1. ment and to unify all St. Louisans and all St. Louis interests in behalf of the Fair, But earnest personal work and liberal subscriptions are the logical outcome of ‘uns fied and erystallized sentimeut. They are the test of loyalty, faith and civic pride To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: It is with peculiar pleasure, therefore, that the Post-Dispatch acknowledges the re ceipt of a subscription for $1000 from the St. Louis Coffin Co., and publishes th letter of Secretary J. W. Farris accompanying it. This embodies the spirit whic will assure the triumph of the Great Fair beyond the shadow of a doubt. After haying read many of the recent articles in the Post- Dispatch on the subject of the World’s Fair, we are convinced that, as outlined by you, it would be a great benefit to the city of St. Louis. therefore, decided to subscribe to the capital stock of the Fair $1000, and hand you herewith our subscription for the afhount.

LEON GOES INTO THE COUNTRY. The Champion Bantam Will Remain in Retirement Until Just Before He Meets Rauch. The veteran Tom Kelly has received a copy of the Kiondike Nugget from Dawson, Yukon Territory, which shows that boxing and wrestling are flourishing in that city. On June 13 Dick Agnew and Frank Raphael fought 11 lively rounds. In the eleventh Raphael slipped to his knees and while down new hit him an accidental blow. which the referee called foul, and on which he awarded the battle to Raphael. The men were very evenly matched and the battle was the liveliest ever fought in Dawson City. At the same place on June 12 Ed Tucker and Ted Simpson had a wrestling match and Tucker won both falls.

I'll match Frank Gabrilliac against him. An? I think a match between them would prove about as interesting as any that has taken place ‘there in months,”’ The postponement of the Leon-Rauch match until Monday, July 2, will give bota men time to train and get in first-class condition. Leon has gone cut to a farm near Clayton, in ®t. Louis County, and will stay there unri] a couple of days before the time set for his meeting with Rauch. St. Louls parties are trying to bring «@ match off here between George Dixon an. Dave Bernstein, the crack featherweights. These two met once before and while Dixon on that occasion was given the verdict, many thought Bernstein had made the best showing, and was really entitled to the ver- lict, Another match between them, there- fore, should prove’ decidedly interesting. A }etter just received from B. H. Benton, Kid MoCoy’'s late manager, says: “I have ust returned from Denver to Hoston, where had gone with McCoy. It is now quite probable that @ match witil be ratified be- iween the Kid and Fitzsimmons if the lat- ter will keep his word.” Jake Renner wants to meet Jack Reilly, the South St. Louis boxer, in a Mmited round contest or to a finish, both men to weigh in at 138 unds. Renner says he can found at Jim cCronin’s, Twelfth and Walnut streets, at any time. George Dixon and Tommy White went the 20 rounds at Denver, Tuesday night, and when it was all over Dixon was given the decision on points. Tom O’Rourke sat in Dixon’s corner and frequentl cautioned him when it appeared that his over-anx- jousneas might make him careless. Kid Me- cor officiated in the same capacity for White. Bat Masterson was referee. The attendance numbered . Dixon weighed in at 125% pounds, and White at 12. The betting was 10 to 8 on Dixon and quite a bunch of money changed hands at these odds. George Dixon and Eddie Santry wil!) box 20 rounds at Chicago, one week from Friday night. Santry is hard at work at Gilmore's at waicago and he feels confident he can at least hold the champion even this time. Santry a year ago stayed 2 rounds with Dixon, jos ng the decision on points, and there is no doubt he has improved a great deal since that bout.

The tone of the market this morning Was better and some fairly good buying came out early. Both | wheat and corn opened slightly higher than yes- terday's —s prices and maintained § their strengih well during the first hour. Locally the trading was not heavy, but of ap improved char- acter. The dnilness was due largely te the ab- sence of outside speculation. Liverpool opened unchanged but continental! cables were stronger. There was a ing belief that the unusually heavy receipts in the Northwest were fictitious and the reguif of juggling wheat between Minneapolis and Dyjutb. The weather—Fair to-night and Thursday, con- tinned warm. The barometer is highest over the South and Southeast and lowest over Western South Dakota, The only rainfall of importance.| g. was at Jacksonville, Fla.. where 1.14 Inches was reported. « Light showers occurred over portions of the Gulf States and the Northwest.

NO MORE PROXIES ALLOWED. Chairman Harris Speaks Severely of Those Who Have Controlled the St. Louis Democracy Recently. Leaders in the Democratic City Central, or Precinct, Committee are very anxious lest the impression gets abroad that their body has ceased to exist. They say a cer- tain faction, headed by the Bradys, would be glad if it did not exist, and are doing al] they can to create the impression that it is defunct. The City Central Committeemen have just discovered that a law passed by the last Legislature establishes them in power, and they want everybody to know it. The law In question was introduced by Senator Vandiver and becomes operative Aug. 23. It is as follows: Sec. 4766a. That the central committee of a political party shall consist of the largest body elected for the purpose of representing and act- ing for the party in the interim between conven- tions of the party. That for the purpose of mak- ing nominations to fill vacancies on a ticket pre- viously nominated a majority of all the members- elect of a central committee shall be necessary to take action. That a central committee shall not have the power to delegate its authority to make nominations to any person or number. of persons, and that any act consequent upon any such delegation of authority shall be held to be null and void. That no central committee shall have the power to substitute, to fill any vacancy, the pame of any person who is not known to of the same political belief and party as the per- son for whom he is substituted. G. W. Harris, chairman of the Conference Committee of the City Central Committee, which is really that committee under an- other name, believes this law establishes the supreme authority of the Central Com- mittee over all other organized bodies of Democrats, beyond a shadow of a doubt. He believes also that it prohibits, by im- plication, if not directly, the use of proxies in the committee, which, he says, has been abused to the great injury of the party by the faction which controls the City Execu- tive Committee. “We have been looking for some such authority as this for a long time,”’ said Mr. Harris. “The last meeting of the City Cen- tral Committee was turned into a mob gothering by the haps members run in by en Brady and his crowd of hoodlums. The committee is so large that when a man presents himself with the proxy of a mem- ber, we have to accept his word for it. In that way the hoodlums have been able to control the committee in the past. Under this law our committee is supreme and as I construe it, no proxies may be allowed. This law settles the question of authority raised against our committee by the Ex- ecutive Committee.”’ Mr. Harris will call the Conference Com- mittee together in a few days and a cre- dentials committee will be appointed, whose duty it will be to see that only members of the Central Committee are admitted to the meetings. *“‘Maybe this law will give the decent ele- ment a chance to get control,’’ said Mr. Harris. ‘St. Louis cannot be Democratic until it does. The gang that has run it in the recent past has sold it out at every opportunity. All they wanted was to get candidates who had money to put up. And I haven't any doubt that they sold out to the Republicans. It would be cheaper for the Republicans to pay $10,000 to the Demo- cratic Executive Committee than to dis- tribute $20,000 among their own workers. Democrats can never win in this town until they put decent men in charge of the party machinery.’’ WILL MEET AT FULTON, AUG? Democratic Convention to Nominate a Successor to the Late Richard P. Bland of Lebanon. The selection of Fulton as the place and Wednesday, Aug. 2, as the time for holding the Democratic convention of the Eighth Congressional District of Missouri is a tem- porary setback to the candidacy of ex- Speaker Farris and to the people of Leb- anon. Mr. Farris and his friends went to Jefferson City to urge the committee to hold the convention at Lebanon, July 2%, when William J. Bryan would be present and deliver an address. But the friends of Judge Dorsey W. Shackelford were too numerous and they succeeded in breaking down what they con- ceived to be a plan to defeat h.s candi- dacy on sentimental grounds. Moreover the result demonstrated what Mr. Biand always feared—that the upper portion of the district would run away with the southern portion whenever he got out of the way. He held Caliaway to him because of his fame asa national! lead- er, and he fed that cuvunty with whatever patronage he could to Keep it in his active support. Now that he is dead the Callaway Democrats feel themselves absolved from obligations to the southern end of the dis- trict, and at the committee meeting—as the Post-Dispatch predicted Sunday—they at once exerted their power and took the con- vention unto themselves, naming their own time and place. James T. Bradshaw of Lebanon. hereto- fore chairman of the Congressional Com- mittee, resigned because he has recently removed to Chillicothe, in another district. The chairmanship went to Samuel W. Dan- lels of Morgan County. Ex-Speaker Farris had a proxy in the committee, but the members got away from him. It is understood that Cole, Cooper, Callaway and Osage, the northern tier of counties, voted against Lebanon’-and in favor ef Fulton. They say this was done to remove the convention from sentimental influences, with the result that Judge Shackelford and ex-Senator Hazell of the northern end will probably have the con- test all to themselves. Following is the call issued for the con- vention: At a meeting of the Democratic Congressional Committee of the Eighth Missouri! District. held in Jeflerson City, Mo., on July 11, 1899, the Congres- sional convention for said district was called to meet at the Courthouse in Fulton, Mo., on Wednesday, Aug. 2, 1890, at 11 o'clock a. m., to nominate a candidate for Congress ty fill vacancy caused by the death of Hon. R. P Blaud and for the transaction of such other busi- ness as may come before said convention. The basis of representation is one delegate for every 20 votes and ope delegate for every fraction of 125 votes and over cast for the Hon. fo ¥ Oe Bryan, the regular Democratic candidate for Preai- dent in 1 - On said basis the counties of the district will be entitled to the following number of delegates: Callaway, 17; Camden, 5; Cole, 9: C : ee 3 gg 8; Maries, 6; utter 4 heen: teau, 5; Morgan, 7; Osage, 6; Phelps, 7; 6.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JULY 12, 1899 ACKERLE ALIVE, -- —_- BUT HIS WIDOW RECEIVED $15.- 000 FOR HIS DEATH. HE IS DRAWING A PENSION. She Insists He Is Dead and Wants the Fension Paid to Her—An Inquiry Into Her Sanity. Pension Bureau records show that Will- jam Wackerle, husband of Mre. Walburga Wackerle, the old woman who has been such a persistent applicant for a pension on account of the service of ther husband, who, she claimed, was dead, and for whoge supposed death in a railway accident she was awarded $15,000 damages in the Federal] Court, is,alive and still drawing a pen- sion. That Wackerie was alive has been the claim of the Pension Bureau for many years, during which time Mrs. Wackerle has pressed her claim for a pension as his widow. But the strange etory was not revealed until Mrs. Wackerile was confined as an insane person, and ‘until police of- ficers, who searched her premises, found more than gold, silver and bills in her room. Now friends of Mrs. Wackerle have in- terested themselves, and the question of her mental condition is to be investigated 4 the Probate Court. In view of the rev- elation made by the Pension Bureau, the question suggests itself: If ‘Mrs. Wackerle is adjudged of sound mind, what will she do? ill she drop her claim for a pension on account of a husband who is shown to be alive? Will she be reunited to her hus- band after a separation of 27 years? Will William Wackerile, who was thought to be dead and for whose death a railroad com- pany paid $15,000, come forward? Or will she, relying upon the Federal Court record showing that William Wackerle is dead, | repudiate the man who has been drawing @ pension as William Wackerle and con- tinue ‘to press her claim for a pension? The Pension Bureau records show the Wackerle case to be a remarkable one. The United States, through its Pension Office, has oe a long term of years been ing to William Wackerle of Compan Ninth Minnesota Infantry every month. The United States, through one of its courts, found that William Wackerle, same Company. same regiment was killed in a railroad accident in 187 and ordered the railroad to pay widow $15,000, 20 years ago. Since that verdict was rendered. widow, Walberga Wackerle, has ceased to press a claim for a pension. The Pension ureau naturally resisted her claim strenuously, since it was paying to the man she claimed was dead the pension desired She carried the a sum of money the never she for herself. case as high as it could go, and was re- | fused at every turn. The records in the Pension Bureau, proving the existence of William Wackerle, her husband, would fill a book. Mrs. Wackerle pressed her claim so per- sistently that she became a nuisance to officials in St. Louls whom she importuned. Finally complaint was made to the Health | Department and she was arrested as an insane perstn. She was sent to the asylum. But through the intervention of friends she , is to have a chance to prove her sanity be- fore the Probate Court. he inquiry was begun Wednesday afternoon. JUDGE M’KEIGHAN WILL WED. His Prospective Bride a Christian Scientist, Mrs. Ida P. Hunt. ‘Announcement has quietly been made among their friends that Judge John E. McKeighan and Mrs. Ida P. Hunt will be married early in August. Interest is added to the approaching event by the fact that both are Christian Scientists, and the wed- ding will probably be solemnized in the Christian lence Temple in this city. The marriage will be the climax of a Sendehip that has grown between the two during the past two years. In fact they were brought ‘together by their com- mon interest in the Christian Science course. J to two years ago Mrs. Hunt lived at Watertown, N. Y., but she was frequently a guest of Mrs. Field King, who introduced Christian Science into Bt. Louis. After Mrs. King left St. Louis Mrs. Hunt visited Mr. and Mrs. James A. Lo wood, prominent Christian Scientists this city. It was at their home that Judge McKeighan met her. Judge McKeighan has been one of the most prominent lawyers in the city for 0 years. Mrs. Hunt is away at present on a visit to her mother. Since e moved to : Louis she has lived with her daughter at 311742 Morgan street. TEACHERS’ ANNUITY APPROVED. Messrs. Foster, Murphy and Blewett Reappointed Assistants.

Solomon, alias Sloan, who died in the City Hospital Tuesday afternoon from the effects of a dose of carbolic acid |' which he took the previous day with suici- | dal intent, at the Illinois House, 536 Lucas avenue was the scion of a wealthy Jewish family of London, and possessed of accom- plishments that, but for his habits, might have won him an enviable position. His ‘education was the best that English uni- versities could give. He spoke five lan- uages fluently and was a skillful per- ormer on piano and violin. But morphine was the curse of his life, and it dragged him down so low that the last years of his life were spent in the slums of St. Louis. After obtaining his education, he came to America. His father, a wealthy ‘banker, sent him large remittances and he lived a life of luxury. Then the father died and his son received his share of the large estate. His spendthrift habits soon left him penniless, but his sister put him on an ample allowance. She soon learned of the life he was leading, however, and re- fused to send him more money. His descent after that was rapid and he went to the lowest depths of the social sea. If some of his old friends do not remember him ten- WERE MARRIED AT CLAYTON. Harry H.
