Nothing happens which has not somewhere. sometime, hap- pened before. The most unique combina- tion of circumstances or chapter of events is but a duplicate of a like unique occur- rence of the past. Your dearest troubles fare all second-handed. There is nothing new under the sun. Sometimes a thing happens which {is so @trange that you think nothing like it could ever have happened before, but if you look back far enough you will find that the thing you thought new is only a fair imi- tation. The other day an old man tottering on the brink of the grave was arrested on a charge of murdering a man many years ago. It was necessary to go very far back to find a parallel for that, all of 130 years, but the lapse of time makes the coinci- ' dence all the more striking. The evidence in that case, 130 years ago, was wholly circumstantial, but the accused Was convicted and hanged three days after his conviction. The evidence in this modern instance is also wholly circumstantial. Will the paralle] be made complete by the conviction and ex. ecution of this old man? A poet and a novélist, among the greatest of their time, found inspiration in the eighteenth century episode. The Sunday Post-Dispatch will talk interestingly of these two lives of two centuries so strange- ly linked. There is a man, a Missourian, an anti- expansionist, too, who seems to be rapidly expanding into a national figure. You know him by name. if not to bow to, and you would recognizé hie picture in the largest gallery in the world, for his features, like his personality, are striking. His features | ‘will be shown and his personality dissected, by one whe knows him well, in the next , Bunday Post-Dispatch.

Do you yeern to hie to one of the islands of the sea where clothes are superfiuous nine months of the year and fortunes can be made by turning the soil? You can go if you want to, and you needn't associate with “Spanish niggers,’ either. You will have lots of neighbors of your own kind. There is a scheme a-bornin’ to estabiish an American city on one of those islands, “with all modern improvements.”’ It has the sanction of President McKinley, and it scems to be a good thing. Don’t start until you get the Sunday Post-Dispatch. It will tell all about it. The good book says the rich man will have a hard time getting through the hole in heaven's wall without scraping his back, but higher criticism has figured out that the good book didn't really mean to put it so strong. In spite of the good book not being very friendly to the rich men, there are a good many rich men in St. Louis who are real friendly to it and take de- light in interpreting its texts to the young. They are millionaires who every Sunday tell the young how to follow in the foot- Bieps of the Nagarene. Their pictures and all about them in the Sunnday Post-Dis. patch. Why do men kill the women they love? Give it up? Why, because they want to. But why do they want to? Ah! It would be a violation of confidence to tel! here; but two wise men who revel in the psy- chology of things, have reasoned it out and they will tell in the Sunday Post-Dispatch why men want to kill the women they love. When the comic opera liberettest wrote. “There's a time for disappearing,”” he was probably thinking of 8t. Louis in the year of grace, 1899. It seems to be a time for nearly everybody to disappear. The wors' of it is they never “bob up serenely.” No. body knows where they go, The ave | disap ~ te ee ee oe ee —— -- — THEY SAY HE I) A SWINDLER Post-Office Inspectors Arrest Samuel Davidov.

He was on the eve of opening a large supply estab- lishment in St. Louls at 716 Lucas avenue. cern at 219 Van Buren street, Chicago, He ordered goods, so it is claimed, from various merchants in the Hast and retailed them at half pr.ce. In no instance, the Federal authorities claim, did he settle with his creditors. It is charged that he did not intend to do so.

Copyright, 18098, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, July 2.—William C. Whitney was asked by the Post-Dispatch correspond- ent if he intends to be acemaker for his party, as he was in 1892, and has come to Europe, as O. H. P. Belmont indicated Wednesday, to get Admiral Dewey to con- sent to be the next Democratic candidate for President. The ex-Secretary of the Navy answered: “There is nothing whatever in it. I came to Europe for rest—nothing else. I don't expect that I shall see Admiral Dewey un- less he comes to London, which the news- papers say he does not intend to do.”’ Mr. Whitney was then given the Post- Dispatch’s London bureau's latest special cable advices regarding the street car strike in New York. eing asked about the reported discrimination against union | men by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit and | he said: “I know nothing of what is occurrin be. | yond what I read in the papers.

Detectives Kelly and Duck swooped down upon the handbook kept at 609 Pine street by H. EB. Gillette and made a rich haul, 30 men being captured. Gillette and his assistant, R. E. Walter, and 16 of the habitues of the place were carted off to the Chestnut street sub-station with Kelly in charge, while Duck heid the other 12 until the return trip was made. When the officers presented themselves at the door of the back room, in which the play was go- ing on, and which has but one means of egress, the men ran around seeking a way to escape, but their efforts were futile. FIRE INA BIG CHICAGO BLOCK Blaze Starts in the Building Occupied by Oarpet Dealers and Firemen Have Difficulty in Controlling It.

MANY PROTESTS ALREADY REACH THE WHITE HOUSE. Western Men Indignant That This Section Has Been Slighted and Eastern Republicans D> Not Like the Man. WASHINGTON, July 22.—Mr. Elihu Root of New York ‘has been tendered and ac- cepted the Secretaryship of War. The announcement was made early this morning by Senator Platt and was later confirmed at the War Department. The Senator came here prepared to urge Gen. Francis V. Green if a military man should be desired; Root if an attorney should be wanted. He was authorized to accept on behalf of either. The President _chose Root because he wanted a man qual- ified to decide the question of civil govern- ment in the colonies which will arise. Authoritative announcements that Mr. Root is to be the netx Secretary of War have borne fruit thus early. Emphatic protests against Root’s appoint- ment have been coming to Washington this forenoon. They are not confined to locality, many being from the West, while the Hast is also well represented. The protests from Western Republicans are not based on per- sonal grounds, their objections chiefly be- ing that the President should have named a Western man. They claim that the Pres- ident will have to depend upon the West for re-election, and this being so should have embraced the opportunity to put a representative of the West in charge of the War Department. Eastern protests are chiefly from New York Republicans who know and dislike Mr. Root. They assert that his selection is not a happy one from a standpoint of po- litical expediency, and that—conceding his ability as a lawyer—he will not add strength to the Administration among the voting masses. But Mr. Root will be Sec- retary of War. The announcement of Mr. Root's appoint- ment was made at the War Department. It Was stated that Senator Platt came to Washington last evening, armed with au- thority from Mr. Root to accept in his name the War portfolio. It is not ex- pected that the acceptance will make any change in the plans of Secretary Alger, and he will remain on duty here untit] the end of the present month, being assisted by Meiklejohn, who is expected to reach Wash- ington this afternoon. Secretary Alger had confidently expected the appointment of Mr. Root and was very much pleased by the President's choice. This was evinced in the following letter which Secretary Alger addressed to his successor: “Washington, D. C., July 21, 1899. “My Dear Mr. Root—All I know is what the newspapers say that you are to suc- ceed me as Secretary of War. Should it come to you, I most urgently urge you to make the sacrifice and accept the position. With your Knowledge of law and your ex- cellent health, you can serve the country given to few men. Sincereiy R. A. ALGER.” Foraker Says the Secretary Was a ‘‘Buffer’”’ for the President. CINCINNATI, July 22.—Senator Foraker returned from the Kast yesterday. Speaking _of Secretary Alger’s resignation he said: ' “T know nothing more about the resig- nation of Secretary Alger than has been published in the newspapers. I am of the | opinion, however, that he has been a very much abused man. Doubtless he has made some mistakes. But it can be safely said ‘that practically everything for which he has been attacked and criticized the Pres- | ident is as much responsible for as he was/ ‘for I know, as all do who were about Wash. ington when the war was in progress, that Secretary Alger was in consultation with the President, not only every day, but three or four or five or six times a day, so that attacking Alger was only another way of attacking the President. He has been a sort of ‘buffer’ for the Administration, and his resignation will not stop the onslaugnhts. Somebody else will be substituted as the target.”’ ARMED MEN ON TEXAS TRAINS Fears of a Black Jack Gang Holdup Lead Officers to Take Unusual Precautions. EL PASO.

Nine Hundred of the Enemy Allowed to Escape at the Battle ways Beresford Received His Wound. Charles H. Beresford of Company A, First Tennessee Volunteers, honorably’ dis- charged on account of wounds he received at the battle of Malatoa, in the Philippines, was at the Union Station Saturday morning on his way to his home at Sherwood, Tenn, Speaking of the conditions at Manila he eaid: “Our soldiers in the main are treat- ed quite well, that is, the officers try to do all they can fur the comfort of the men. “Fully 20 per cent of the soldiers are s:ck, on account of the bad water which they are forced to drink. They are not provided with suitable meang for carrying the water and hence on the march, when the smail eupply in their cantines is exhausted, they are forced to drink what can be found and that is usually in stagnant pools. “The food supply is also very poor, prin- cipally because of the long distance it has to be transported. The provisions are not elaborate, one of the chief articles of dict being salmon, which is almost always spoiled before we get it.’’ Speaking of Gen. Otis he said: “I know very little of the General except from re- | et from the little [I have seen of him I have lesrned that he is very humane, pt too ‘much so. In the battie of Malatoa, March %, it was shown that al- port, pees we had the best of positions we al- | lowed 900 of the enemy to escape who couid easily have been captured. The omy rea- eon that I can assign for this was Gen. Otis’ humanity, as there was little need of | any of our men being killed while taking | them. “That was the battle in which I was wounded, and since then, up to June 12. when I left Manila, I was not able to do any active service. “Shortly before the battle, in one of our | marches through the woods, I found a little baby monkey. I took charge of it, and in a few days it had learned to love me and nestiin n my bosom would . wot we, F fearless of me. “On the fleld the might of the battle 1 | was left wounded, being unable to craw] back to our lines. I had taken the monkey which I called Frank, Into the battle wifht me, and it was a great comfort to fee} its little wet nose close against my face."’ Beresford is about % years old, of erect strong figure, with a black mustache and black eyes. At his home at Sherwood Tenn., he was one of the best-known law: years, a Democrat, and the Chairman of the Franklin County Democratic Executive Committee. During his stay at Union Station the monkey kept close to Beresford's breast. One peculiar thing about the monkey was that it had strong race prejudices, and though it would allow white people to pat its head, as soon as a colored man or boy would attempt to touch it the monkey's little white teeth would be plainiy shown, and with a leap it would try to bite the hand.

Mrs. Harroun occupied the first floor of the house and Mr. Beckman and his daugh- ters the second floor. Mrs. Harroun was awakened Saturday morning before day- light by the screams of women and the shouts of men, mingled with the noise of heavy hands pounding on her door. The reom was fuli of smoke and she could hardly breathe. Her child was gasp- ing for breath. Throwing a quilt around her, Mrs. Harroun took the child in her arms and ran out of the room. Meanwhile Mr. Beckman, who is 70 years old and not very strong, was even nearer death than Mrs. Harroun had been. His daughters were awakened by the srnell of smoke about the time that Police- wan John Flanigan d.scovered the fire. | Their room adjoined the dining room, where the fire started. They ran out in their night robes and asked the policeman to save their father, Flanigan entered the burning building and groped around for the old man, but could not find him. Concluding that Beckman had escaped, and being nearly suffocated, the policeman returned to the open air. The Beckman girls saw him emerge with- out their father and were almost wild with grief. They insisted that the old man was inside, and Flanigan to find him. Holding the tail of his coat over his nose, the policeman again entered the house. He felt his way to the bed and found Beckman breathing stertoriously and well nigh dead. Fianigan picked him up and, throwing across his shoulder, carried him out like a sack of meal. The pure air and a glass of water dashed in his face resfored Beckman to conscious- ness. By this time the firemen had the flames under control, The damage to the house was about $88 and to furniture $18, It is covered by insurance, HAS A WICKED NEW WEAPON The Government's Successful Test of an Improved 4-Inch Gun Shows That It Is a Wonder.

Strike of the Brooklyn and New York Street Car Men Is Admitted to Practically Be a Failure. CLIDVBPLAND, O., July 22.—Orders were issued to-day for the assembling of four companies of the Fifth Regiments, O. N. G., located at Cleveland, to do etrike duty during the present street railway trouble. The decision to call out the Fifth was made after a long conference between ‘Mayor Farley and Director of Police Bar- rett. It was decided it was absoiute necessary, not only for the safety of the property of the street railway and the lives of its em- ployes, but for the protection of the lives and property of the citizens that extra military service be called in addition to the naval reserves. A serious rear end collision occurred on Ontario street between a Scoville avenue, manned with a non-union crew, and a Woodland avenue car. Four passengers were badly hurt. The Woodland avenue car had stopped to take on a passenger. The Scoville avenue car, which was closely following, crashed } into the Woodland avenue car at full speed. A non-union motorman of a Pearl street ear fired a half dozen shots this afternoon into a crowd of boys near the bridge in South Brooklyn. None of the shots took effect. The car was in a blockade and the boys were jeering non-union motormen and con- ’ ductors. ALL CARS ON TIME. Occasional Torpedo and Greased Rails the Only Annoyance in New York. NEW YORK, July 22.—The street railway men’s strike in Brooklyn is a thing of the past. The time schedule of the va- rious surface roads are to-day practical- ly restored and maintained through the city and suburbs. Aside from greased rails and the occa- sional explosion of a torpedo, which had been placed on the tracks by sympathizers, in the hope to frighten new motormen, nothing hindered the general operating of the roads during last night. While overt acts are no longer appre- hended, the police have not yet been with- drawn from the cars on lines passing through neighborhoods where interference Might occur. It is now generally believed that the bul- let which penetrated Detective Foster's leg last night at Seventh avenue and Fifth street came from the revolver of Detective T WAS NOT ALL FUN ee —_— LADY CONDUCTORS HAD SOME - DISAPPOINTMENTS.

When the ladies who had engaged to co!- lect fares on East Side street cars for the benefit of the Protestant Hospital arose early Saturday morning and looked out of an old conductor. Then they learned that rain means good business for a street rail- way line. Their frowns disappeared and the smiles came out, but one pretty damsel retained a part of her regret, because she said the rain made the flags and streamers on her car hang limp and would make the car muddy and “‘nasty.”’” But the way men crowded into her car soon destroyed the last vestige of her regret. The time was 9 o’clock in the morning. A grizzled conductor stood on the rear plat- form of a gaily decorated car, complacently reading a paper. He was enjoying his holi- side her with her best company manner and engaged her in conversation while the search was in progress. The countryman farther down, a bashful youth, looked frightened at the prospect and hurriedly got his nickel ready.

BARBERS DISAPPOINTED. John J. Forsting May Refuse to Serve on the State Board John J. Forsting may refuse to serve as one of the commissioners recently appointed by Gov. Stephens to examine the barbers of St. Louls, Kansas City and St. Joseph. He says he doesn’t like to accept the ap- pointment because some of the nominations for the commission were displeasing to St. Louls barbers. Mr. Forsting refuses to tell in what way the barbers are dissatisfied, but he says the objection is so serious that he fears he would make a mistake in accepting the appointment.

An Immense Crowd Will See Their Opening Games in London. LONDON, July 22.—The hot. spell of weather was temporarily broken last night by a heavy fall of rain followed by a some- what gloomy morning, causing apprehen- sion for the inter-university sports. At noon, however, the sun was again shining and the heat was tropical. This left Lon- don under a hot mist, but dispelled the fears of rain. The gates of the Queen's grounds were thrown open at 2:15 p. m. to take crowds that were already ong ere the entrance. The American and Englis flags were fying from the center of the grounds. England won the choice of positions for the mile and half-mile races. Lying from the center of the field was the clubhouse and long rows of stands, which enclosed the remaining sides of the grounds, were brilliant with flags of all nations and the colors of Yale and Har- vard, Oxford and Cambridge. The announcement in the newspapers that the Prince of Wales would not wear a frock coat or top hat caused many to follow ‘the Prince’s example, and the grounds bore a purely holiday appearance. The rain had resulted in putting the track in excellent condition, and the micro- scopic care with which every superfluous particle had been removed won the admira- tion of the American visitors. The American team woke up at Brighton in the best of health and spirits, breakfast- ed before and took the 9 o'clock train for London. Upon their arrival here the party drove to the Roval Palace Hotel, Keonsing- y ton, where they lunched alone, and short after 3 o'clock drove to the Queen’s Club, eget a the pavilion by the rear entrance, n order to avoid the crowd. The Englishmen arrived about the same time. Each man took his own valise to the clubhouse, where there was a cordial reunion between the members of the team accompanied them from America but had been staying in London while the others were training in Brighton. Under Mr. Wendell’s strict order, not a word was said by a single man with regard to the ee ects of the contests, but the faces of all indicated the utmost confi- ence. In the mile run A.

The Speeds at Which the Greatest Sta- bility Is Secured Automatically. From the New York Tribune. A novel investigation has been conducted by an FEinglishman, F. J. Whipple of Trin- ity College, Cambridge, in regard to the stability of a bicycle’s mction at different speeds, and the conditions under which the use of the hands for steering can best be dispensed with. Mr. Whipple jAnds four “critical velocities’’ which seem to him rep- resentative. He designates them for con- venienea “VV 2” "Ss me Se eRe Vv 4” The first ot these symbols stands for 12.2 miles an hour, the second for 10.4, the third for 8.5 and the last for 7.4 For very high speeds—that is to say, above V 1—the motion of the bicycle is unstable. but may be rendered stable if the rider either turns the front wheel (with his hands) toward the side to which he is likely to fall. or leans his body in the opposite direction. Mr. Whipple 1ecommends the latter expedient in preference to the other, because the amount of force that must be exerted when turning the hanrdls is consid- able. Velocities between V 1 and V 3 (about eleven miles an hour) afford the greatest stability, and render the use of the hands on the steering apparatus, or swing- ing of the body from side to side, needleg. This, then, is the spee dthat gives the riaer the largest degree of independence, accord- ing to the Cambridge expert. When the speed gets below V 2 the motion becomes less stable again if the rider does not use the handles. Instability should now be corrected by leaning slightly in the sam direction as that toward which he tends to fall. This procedure is different from that which is recommended at velocities above V 1. For a very slow speed, anywhere be. low V 4, for instance, it is wise if not nec- essary, to rely mainly on the handles, aq)- though leaning may assist in restoring the balance. His Incentive.

According to an ominous. statement which appears in Commercial Intelligence, the tea passed by the English customs in these degenerate days contains at least 2 Chests of tea refused by Brother Jonathan and our cousins-Ger- man pass the inspectors of the English custom house, and are sold in London, though they contain mineral matter vary- ing rom 10 to 20 per cent, or sand up to “But,” said a large wholesale tea mer- chant to a Leader representative, ‘‘the fault really Mes with the British public. They will insist on, having cheap tea— cheap, strong, coarse tea—and the result is that the tea dealers have to buy up any rubbish they can lay their hands on. “The tea inspectors’ ‘training’ is, I be- lieve, a mere matter of form, and when they do drop on a package that’s too bad to pass it’s quite a mere chance; they can't examine every package that comes into the docks. “I remember one time I paid the duty on some tea sent here from China, and it was found to be ‘false packed’—just a layer of tea on top and sioe leaves underneath! That shows how lax the rules are. Not that I think the public would benefit by a certain standard Cotees enforced. It would certainly hamper trade, and the public would. be no better off. As it is, all this talk of eand and mineral impurities in tea only applies to the very cheapest teas in the market.

You see out the very material of the cup is eaten away by that brown stain? Tannic acid. There’s nothing, or hardly anything, of that in China teas. But the public won't have them; they must have coarse, pungent tea, and it must be oneee. and the conse- quence—tannic acid and adulteration.

One Authority Declares a Tunnel] Un- der North River Connecting the Roads Is Assured and Means a Traffic Rev- olution. NEW YORK, July 22.—Important steps have just been taken in the advancement of the alliance between the New York Cen- tral and Pennsylvania Railroad systems. As President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania Was at the New York Central's executive offices on the day of the formal vote for the Boston & Albany lease, and suggestive interest was incited thereby, so now sig- nificance is attached to the fact that Pres- ident Callaway of the New York Central was viene. Philadelphia—an official re- turn call. is trip of the New York Cen- tral’s chief executive to the Pennsylvania headquarters was quietly enough conduc ted. Mr. Callaway ran over to Philadelphia from his summer home on the New Jersey shore. He was expected. Business of importance Was transacted. The new co-operative New York Central-Pennsylvania policy is now operative. President Callaway’s visit con- cludes details that Bi mame erfect the deal through which William K. Vanderbilt's plans ome dominant in the entire East- ern trunk line field. Mr. Vanderbilt is at business again. He has had a conference with his chiefs of etaff. He has gone over reports treating of matters of large consequence. He has ven new orders. He is ready to put ex- raordinary undertakings into operation. And the trip of President Callaway to Phil- adelphia plays an important part in the ons developing programme. Pians having bearing on the project of a@n anthracite coal railroad combination are somewhat involved in matters of policy dis- cussed in Philadelphia, but it can be stated upon authority that the much-mooted coal Geal is still a good time distant. Its ar- Tangement will be closer to next New Year's than to the present date. Other Eastern trunk line affairs do not hang upon it, nor @re they handicapped by delay of it, as once seemed likely to be the case. What is immediately accomplished is, in- deed, a step toward the solution of the grave anthracite troubles, butin other ways it is much more important. Two at least of the anthracite properties are to come under the control of New York Central- Pennsylvania directors, while the hand of Mr. Vanderbilt will show clearly in this, which, it is agreed, shall be one of the first of the significant corporation moves about to be made. The undertaking is the project of a tun- ne) under the North River, directly con- necting New York Central and Pennsy!l- vania railway tracks—a tunnel for which {t is intimated franchise rights already ex- fet. A New York Central-Pennsylvania au- thority speaks of them as “assured.’’ The establishment and use of such a tunnel connection would be more than the token of actual alliance between the two greatest Eastern trunk line. It would signify volution in Bastern trunk line traffic. New York terminal charges would be rought thus to a basis where New York @s an ng: and importing port would occupy an advantageous situation never hitherto thought of. and there would be dearings upon New England traffic that in some ways might be controlling. Such a tunnel pepeetes by Mr. Vanderbilt would meet all those transportation demands for which the to ae ree bridge was theoret- fcally intended. It was President Scott of. the Pennsylvania, by the way, who origin- ated the Poughkeepsie bridge project. Through the use of such a tunnel New Eng- and could have transportation improved neomparably. Time between New England and the South and Southwest would be greatly cut down. Tt is believed that Mr. Vanderbilt will fhhave another and especially important con- ference in New York early next week, coming pn from Newport to meet, among others, esident Cassatt with President CaNaway. Following that meeting an of- ficial statement may be made public—dis- closing extraordinary new year develop- ments.

CAME NEAR BEING A LYNCHING. Attempted Assault Made Upon Little Josephine Jaros. An unidentified man attempted to as- eault little Josephine Jaros, the 4-year-ola Gaughter of Mrs. Michael Jaros of 3 Gravole avenue, Friday evening, jin thc rear of her home, and but for his skill in eluding the pureuvit of the infuriated resi- dents of that neighborhood, there would have been a lynching. The child, although terrified by her ex- perience. was not injured. She was play- ing in the yard in the rear of her home when a atrange man approached and de- coyed her behind a fence with promises Mhat he would give her candy.

NEARLY THREE THOUSAND MEN IN MANILA HOSPITAL. Two Hundred and Seventy-five [ll in Quarters and Hundreds Sick at San Fernandino and at the Front. MANILA, via Hong Kong, July 22.—Chief Surgeon Woodhull considers that the in- crease in the military force in Philippine Islands will necessitate the employment of 4) additional surgeons. Surgeon Woodhull’s report to that effect has been disapproved by Major-General E. 8. Otis, commanding the United States forces here. There are nearly 3000 soldiers in the hos- pital. The official report last week showed 1800 in hospital in Manila, and there are several hundred at San Fernandino and other garrisons. There are also 275 sick in quarters in Manila.

WASHINGTON, July 22.—It is stated here on good authority that when the rainy season ends and the fall campaign in the Philippines begins Gen.

MAY USE OUM-DUM BULLETS The Peace Conference Decides That No Action Shall Be Taken One Way or the Other Regerding Them. —_—_—_— THE HAGUE, July 21.—At the plenary session of the Peace Conference to-day. the prohibition of the use of asphyxiat- ing projectiles was agreed to by all ex- cept the United States and Great Britain, whose abstention nullifies the agreement of the others. The talk over expanding bullets, occupied the major part of the sitting, owing to the uestion of the dum-dum bullet used by the British army. Sir Julian Pauncefote expressed regret that the plenary session had been so sud- denly summoned, as the British Goveri- ment had intended to make a statement regarding the dum-dum bullet. The con- ference agreed to leave the minutes of the session open for the insertion of the British statement. Andrew D. White, the head of the United States delegation, then made an important speech in opposition to prohibition of such bullets as the dum-dum. The new missile. Mr. White said, was outside the specific definitions of the present proposal. Capt. Crozier, the military member of the United tSates delegation, proposed as a substitute the folloWing: “The use of bullets should be prohibited which inflict unnecessary crue] wounds, such as explosive bullets, and, in general, every kind of bullet exceecing the’ limits necessary to put a man immediately hors du combat.”’ Sir Julian Pauncefote announced that he would accept Capt. Crozier’s proposal, but it was rejecte:] by a vote of 17 oe M. Van Karnebeck’s version was then adopted, Great Britain and the United States alone voting against it, and the pertuguene delegates abstaining from vot- ng.

DEAD MEN NOT CITIZENS. ITALIAN CHARGE D’AFFAIRES AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT. The Conditions Much Resemble the Reign of Mob Law in New Or- leans When Minister Fara Asked for Passports. WASHINGTON, July 22.—The lynching of five Italians in Louisiana yesterday prom- ised to assume an _ international aspect through the action of the Italian Govern- ment. Consul Vinchi, the Italian charge d’affaires, calied at the State Department early this morning and made representa- tions to the officials concerning the atrocity in Louisiana. In order to get full information as a basis for action by this government. Secretary Hay thereupon telegraphed the Governor of Louisiana, requesting all the facts in the case. Count Vinchi’s action was predicated on reports from the Italian Consular offi- cials in Louisiana, and by the press re- ports. There is reason tq believe also that the Italian foreign office is already fully formed on the occurrence. It is probable however, that the representations of to- day are only preliminary, with a view to calling attention to the facts reported and pave the way to any protest or demand of reparation which may follow. The affair is considered in official Italian quarters as much like that in the Mafia cases at New Orleans while Mr. Blaine was Secretary of State, at which time the Ital- ian minister. Baron Fava, called for his passports and left the country. Baron Fava is on vacation, and during ‘his absence Count Vinchi has charge of Italian affairs in this country. TULLULAH MOB HAD NO MERCY. Italians Fought and Begged for Their Lives, but in Vain. TULLULAH, La., July 22.—Five Italians, said to have been implicated in a plot to kill Dr. Hodges, a prominent physician, who was wounded by one of the victims, were lynched Thursday night in the jail yard here. The victims were James, Frank and Charles Difatto, brothers; S. Feducio and John Cerano, all natives of Cefala, Italy. The Difatto brothers were taken from the prison by a mob and hanged. Feducio was captured in his store after a desperate struggle in resisting arrest, then taken over to the jail yard and subjected to the fate of his companions. Cerano also offered desperate resistance to the officers and men who attempted to arrest him. After being driven out of his barricaded house, following the capture of Feducio. who aided him to hold the mob at bay, he was pursued several blocks, the members of the mob firing at him repeat- edly. He sought refuge behind the founda- tion of a chimney, but was dragged out, taken to the jail yard and strung up with the others, He pleaded piteously for mercy, but the mob answered his prayers w:th eers. ' The Sheriff and his deputies attempted to resist the mob when the attempt was made to take the Difatto brothers from the jail, but the officers were powerless to cope with the frenzied men, who were armed with shotguns and Winchesters, crying for ven- geance on the assailants of Dr. Hodges, a prominent physician of Tullulah. On Wednesday Doctor Hodges shot and wounded a goat belonging to Frank Difat- to. Thursday morning Frank Difatto went to Doctor Hodges’ office and said: “Doctor, you shot my goat, now you had better shot me.”’ : The doctor ordered him to leave tne prem- ises, saying that he wanted no difficulty with him, and Difatto went back to nis store. Doctor Hodges took his meas at Mr. Kauffman'e house. In going to and from his meals it was necessary for him to pass the shop of the Difattos in Cedar etreet. It was while the doctor was on his way to his boarding house to supper_ that Charlie Difatto rushed upon him and, with the remark, “You shot my goat,” struck him. Doctor Hodges atiempted to repe! the attack by striking back with his fist. Fail- ing in this defense, he drew his pistol and fired at Charles. Almost at the same instant James fired both barrels of his shotgun at Doctor Hodges from his shop. gallery at ehort range, inflicting yt wounds in Doctor ~’ wrist an 0d y. Sere asately after the report of the shot- Win was heard a crowd rushed frantically to the scene. The Difatto brothers were cap- tured after a sharp fight and were placed in jail. Feducio and Cerano has gone to the Difatto’s assistance. After the fight they locked themselves in their little store and the place was defended within by the double-barreled shotguns. which they used test provocation. at tne etwas stormed by the mob and the Diffato boys were hanged. Then the other two were chased out of their refuge; one was hanged at once, the other was badly shot first, then he, too, was strung up. The grandjury Friday night reported as a ie evident from the facts brought to our knowledge that the men who were lynched had formed a conspiracy to as- sassinate Dr Hodges and the mob, learn- ing the facts, took the law into its own hands. After diligent inquiry, we have not been able to learn the names or identity of any of the men composing the mob. HIS RELATIVES DON'T CARE If Austin Peck Has Eloped With Miss La Brier, His Kinspeople Have Not Been Advised of It. —_-—= If Austin Peck, grandson of the late Charles H. Peck, has eloped, his relatives at the handsome mansion, 7 Vandeventer place, know nothing about it, and one may surmise from their manner that they eare Very little. A telegram from Poplar Biuff, Mo., says Austin Peck, who claimed to be a grand- son of the late Charles H. Peck, left that city with Miss Addie La Brier, a 16-year-old girl, and came to St. Louis to be married. The girl returned and said they had been married in St. Louis. There is no record of a license having been issued to them in this city. Stephen Peck, an uncle of Austin Peck, declined to discuss the young man. “I have no personal or business relations with Austin Peck.”’ was all he would say. At the Peck home in Vandevénter place a domestic said Austin Peck had formerly lived on a farm in St. Louis with his moth- er. She said he had never been married before and gave his age as 28 or 29. She intimated that the other members of the family cared very lttle about him. In the City Directory Austin Peck is re- corded as living at 6108A Ella avenue. The house is now vacant.

HIS HOUSE ATTACKED THURSDAY NIGHT AND HE IS MISSING. The Griffin-Philpot Feudists Are at It in Full Vigor and a Big Battle Is Expected at the Court Trials Which Begin Monday. Special to the Post-Dispatch. . LONDON, Ky., July 22.—This, Laurel, county is having a taste of the feudal war- fare now. At 11 o'clock Thursday night the home of Sol Griffin, father of Hawe Griffin, who was shot to death last Mon- day night, was attacked and the place filled as full of bullet holes as a seive. At daybreak Sol left for aid and has not been seen since. The Griffins started to move yesterday. The attack on the Griffin house was fierce in the extreme. The entire family was awakened by simultaneous reports of guns, coming from three sides of the place. Father, mother and four children ran for the kitchen to reach the cellar, but as shot after shot was poured into this room, evi- dently to thwart this very purpose, retreat there was impossible. So they fell to the floor while the bullets flew over them. Griffin tried to tear up the flooring, that they might creep under the house, but his efforts were vain. Then for 20 minutes Without ceasing and in a desultory fashion till morning, the shooting continued. At daybreak Griffin “went up Little Goose Creek for aid. He has not returned, and few believe that he will ever be seen alive again. In the afternoon Mrs. Griffin began packing, reparatory to moving. She said the family had no idea where to seek a refuge. Taliy Chadwell, who married a daughter of Granville Philpot, said the Philpots, who killed young Griffin Monday, it is reported, did not do the shooting, for, had they, he would have known it. Bill Deaton, who lives a mile away, said he saw eight men with Winchesters pass during the night. Seven of the Griffin band left Manchester last night, having gone there after the Philpots left. The general appearance of things in Clay County is getting worse each hour. More arms are going in and each side is gaining strength. The Whites say they are in no way identified with either side. A large body of armed men were seen yesterday near Gen. Garrard’s mother’s home, but whether friends or foes of his could not be learned. The Philpots and a large number of friends rode into Manchester yesterday, armed. Next Monday George Philpott, Pete Philpot and others will have a preliminary trial for murder, as a result of last Mon- day’s battle. Robert Philpot is not able to — court, and his case will be heard ater. The Philpots are in formal charge of Deputy Sheriff Thacker, but are not dis- armed. The bringing of the feudists to- gether in court next Monday before County Judge Wright will likely precipitate an- other battle. Sheriff White and deputies believe they can control] the situation with- out soldiers, but a bloody battle is anticl- pated by the most conservative men, if the factions are brought together at this trial. LONDIKERS ASK HELP MANY MINERS STRANDED IN THE KOTZEBUE DISTRICT. SEATTLE, Wash., July 22.—From_ the steamer Brunswick passengers, just ar- rived here from Alaska, it is learned that a passenger te on his way from Kotzebue Sound to Washington, D. C., in behalf of 100 miners said to be stranded in the Kot- zebue district. He will ask the Government to send revenue cutters to Kotzebue Sound and he is previded with proof that unless Government help is given many lives will be lost. Twelve hundred persons went into Kotze- bue well outtitted for the search of gold. Two hundred succeeded in getting over the snow last winter. Many died on the way. There are now nearly 1000 persons on the shore of the sound waiting for a chance to come home. No merchant veseéels will run to that district this year and the whal- ers which call in there for fresh water will not take passengers. If the miners had the means of getting home it is doubtful if they could buy their passage. Many of them have been sick with scurvy and are going to float down the several streams running into the sound with the intention _— »>—_—— THE KLONDIKE’S BIGGEST YEAR. The Mint Director Believes Its Yield Will Break the Record. NEW YORK, July 22.—George E. Roberts, director of the mint, called at the assay office here and in discussing the output of gold from the Klondike country, said: “We have already received $11,000,000 in gold from the Klondike this calendar year. That is as much as last year’s entire re- ceipts from that region, and from informa- tion received from leading buyers of bul- lion I believe that this year’s total yield will reach $18,000,000 or $20,000,000. “This gold goes first to San Francisco or Seattle. Of that which is sent to San Francisco a large amount goes to private refineries first and then to the mint. There has been a steady movement of euch gold in this direction and most of this year’s ‘field will reach this city unless expanding ysusinese employs it on the coast. As the product of the west, especially at San Fran. cisco, supplies any increase in the demand for local use, it is g6afe to say that a large art of the Klondike yield will reach New ork. “The State of Washington is coming to be one of the large gold producers and Ore- gon is alsoincreasing its product. We shail have all the gold we need in_ these parts this year and in addition to that we shall no doubt be able to supply the metal to any one else who desires to pur- chase it.’’ GREWSOME MISTAKE AT FRISCO Bereaved Father Says He Buried a Filipino for His Son. SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.—A casket sup- posed to contain the remains of Private Francis Deckelman, Company L, First Cal- ifornia Volunteers, was lowered in May last into a grave in the Deckelman family plat at Odd Fellows’ Cemetery. On the lith of the present month, on the suspicion that a mistake had been made, the casket was disinterred at the request of the boy’s fath- er and the suspicion verified. Decomposi- tion had set in to such an extent that iden- tification was impossible, but it was plain to the bereaved father that a dead Filipino had been given the resting place intended is son. to.

WOOD CHECKED FEVER TIMELY ARRIVAL OF AMERI GENERAL AT SANTIAGO. WHOLE CITY WAS. INFECTED. = Erergetic Methods Were at Once Ap- plied, the Sick Removed and a Quarantine Established. | SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 22.—It would be expressing it very mildly to say that Gen. Wood was surprised and shocked at the situation which confronted him en he arrived from Boston. Instead of a few soldiers in isolated camps recovering from fever which had been controlled before it became epidemic, he found the chief city of his province thoroughly infected, with a record of about 160 cases of yellow fa€ver of a malignant type and 3 deaths, nearly all of the victims being Americans, s0l- diers and citizens. In his own ‘house in the euburbs' he found a servant with the fever. Two clerks from his office had been taken over to the roses fever hospital on the island, ses ad developed in three American hotels, which were still open and doing business, and two medical officers, a commissary oat and a large number of soldiers were ead. Gen. Wood acted promptly, and the army and public were soon made aware of ithe arrival of the chief by the vigorous orders issued directing the removal of division headquarters to Cristo and of the tropps to Songo, both mountain villages, whiere the yellow fever is practically impossible. When the fever broke out in the Spanish barracks soon after the depart of Gen. Wood for the north, four or f days elapsed before all the troops in intected quarters removed to camp in the immediate neighborhood. It took less than one day to get the entire division head- quarters, with furniture, | ks, records large quantities of quartermaster and commissary supplies. horses, mules, wag- ons and impedimenta by the trainload bundled off to Cristo, and business of the various departments was hardly inter- rupted. The entire actual work of moving was agen, oe before the orders were actually published. To-day the troops were moved to Songo in the same manner, and no one is left to represent the army of the United States except a few immune clerks and ac - pany of the Fifth Infantry at Morro, ica miles away. | Gen. Wood's orders prohibit all officers, soldiers and Government employes enter- ing the city of Santiago unless especially authorized to do 80; provide for a board of medical officers to take charge of yellow fever patients in and about the city of San- lame _ Ban spguaer various sanitary regulations for the preventio of the nr vag . n of the spread The orders show that Gen. W * termined that yellow fever is to way cod out atany cost. The stringent orders clos- ing American saloons, prohibiting the sale of liquors to Americans and directing the arrest of saloon loungers, is intended to suppress the camp followers nuisance: the same is true of other provisions. : The city seems in an excellent conditions considering the crowded popula- tion. Maj. Barber, chief of the sanitary department, estimates that more than haif a million cubic yards of filth has been re- moved since the American occupation. Tons of disinfectants are used daily, and in the ower agyoag & nt pon tetes of oil -and sulphur are urne n the gtr court yards. ors ae IT’S A “STICKY” SUMMER DAY.

With the Dismissal of the “Oppression in Office” Cases the Bill May Be Passed With Blank Space for Police. Information came from several different sources at the City Hall Saturday that the general appropriation bill will be passed by the House of Delegates next Friday even- ing. Its passage, however, will be contingent on the dismissal of the cases against the members of the anti-Ziegenhein faction who are charged with misconduct in office in depriving Vogel of his seat and putting “Kid” Sheridan In it. The announcement that the Dill i# to be passed is coupled with the assurance that an agreement has been reached for the dis- miessal of the cases. The cases will be called in the Court of Criminal Correction Friday, and it ig said if the promise to dismiss the cases is st the dominant faction of the House u that — pass the bill. It will scarcely be recognizable, though, as the bill which came to the House from the Council. It is declared that the appro- prtecrne for the various departments have een cut to such an extent as to leave about $600,000, the amount called for in the new police bill, unappropriated. In order to confornP to the opinion of the City Counselor it is stated that this amount will not be peaperapenares for the Police Department, but will be left unap- pecernases until after the police law nto effect, Aug. 20, and then appropriated. The City Counselor held in an opinion fur- nished the Ways and Means Committee of the House that the law is “utterly dormant and inoperative’ until after Aug. 20, and the House need not only not take cogni- zance of it, but that it cannc§ legally take the act into consideration or account. He held that no person, city official or private individual was chargeable with the notice of the existence of the act so aa to governed in his acts until after publication was completed. In effect he held that the police appro- priation provided for by the new law could not legally be included in the general ap- propriation bill if passed prior to propriation bill iff passed prior to Aug 20. In answer to another question he gave it as his opinion that after the appropria- tions had been made no rearrangement would be compulsory to meet the provisions of the new law. He left it to be inferred rather than declared that such rearrange- ment could not be made. To try to rearrange the appropriations would precipitate a legal conffict which would probably reach to the Supreme Court. ‘To avoid this and at the same time avert the threatened wholesale discharge. of city employes on account of there being no money to pay them, the fll will be passed by the House, leaving the $600,000 unappropriated, and that will be specialiy a Hy ape gp after August 20. eads of departments are understood to have been given assurances Saturday that the bill would be passed next Friday even- ing. After the bill is passe,d though, the con- currence of the Council is necessary. If it does not consent to the cut of $600, and the rest of the House programme, there will be more friction and delay. An attempt was made at the meeting of the House Friday night by the Adminis- tration element to force action on the Dill, but it did not succeed. WARRANT FOR SCHAEDLER St. Louis Agent of Kalamazoo Pickle Co. Charged by the Kansas City Agent With Embezzlement. As a sequel to the myterious disappear- ance of the President of the Kalamazoo Pickle Co., a warrant charging embezzle- ment was issued Saturday against J. G. Schaedler, the St. Louis agent of that firm. Joseph Wagner, 2811 Morgan street, swore to the warrant, alleging that on March 4 he accepted the position as agent for that firm in Kansas City, depositing with Schaed- ler as a guarantee of g faith, June 12 the Kalamazoo Pickle Co. gave Schaedler a check for $40, payable to Wag- ner, which he was to deliver to him. e check, it is claimed, Schaedler never de- vere’ but that he had the check cashed mself. pabergeenty Wagner asked Schaedler to return his , as he wished to give up is position.

T., July 2—George Cully, the notorious negro half-breed, yes- terday paid the penalty on the gallows in the United States jailyard at this place for killing Dick Carr, a white man, 18 miles west of here, in September, 1897. Since Cully was sentenced to death by Judge Thomas, in May last, he seemed uncon- cerned about his fate, and cursed and abused any one who would speak to him re- arding the sentence of death which was anging over him. Cully was a coal black Creek negro, # years old and unmarried. He has borne an unsavory reputation since he was a boy. Mick Carr was an inoffensive old man living alone on a farm about 4% miles west of here. On the day he was killed he had been to Muscogee with a load of cotton, and as the buyer handed him the money for it Cully saw the transaction. He followed Carr as he was returning home and shot him tn the back of the head, killing him in- stantly. Cully then took what money had with him and fled. ARMS WERE BROKEN BY FALLS.

It is not to be found in the imme- @iate vicinity of Manila or other cities. Possession may be ob- ‘tained by killing off the insurgents who may happen to be on it, a or by wailing until the rebellion has been suppressed, and some form of government established in the islands which will in- ' @lude a department of the interior, a general land office, etc. Notice has been sent out repeatedly that men without large \ eapital should not go to any of our new possessions.

A large percentage of the soldiers are incapacitated for duty, some of them being permanently incapacitated. No, there is nothing in the “expansion business” for the workingman. The men who snatch things by means of concessions and franchises and special privileges will make a good thing out of it, but they won't live in the “colonies.” i Ex-Mayor Page of Joliet says: “Down in the south fork of the Chicago River I have seen the sewage so thick that it would support boards over which men could wheel wheelbar- rows with safety. Half of the 300,000 cubic feet which the trustees propose to turn into the canal will be sewage, if they get that much into the canal. Not one-seventh of the sewage comes here from Chicago now, and we all know what an ap- palling condition it creates, When we get the other six- sevenths, what we will do is problematical.” Mr. Page is said to be honest and exceptionally well informed. The stench ditch is evidently not a good thing for Joliet. i i A AN OBJECT LESSON. The power of enormous wealth employed by organized mo- nopoly was never more vividly illustrated than by the final defeat of Gov. Pingree’s municipal ownership scheme in De- troit and the subsequent failure of his 3-cent fare campaign, When the Supreme Court declared municipal ownership un- constitutional, the Governor immediately organized a company to buy the lines under a “security franchise” running 48 years, The company, which was controlled by Pingree’s friends, was to covenant to turn the lines over to the city as soon as a constitutional amendment authorizing the transfer could be procured. Meanwhile 3-cent fares and transfers were to be guaranteed. But the monopolists had an “interest” in the municipal legislature, the Mayor was in sympathy with them and all the newspapers in the city were enlisted. A howl was manu- factured, and the project was defeated. The incident is not encouraging. If great wealth can thus annul every effort of the people to emancipate themselves from the dominion of greed in open fight, what may it not do by deception, intrigue and all the sinister practices of cunning conspiracy? It is of no use for newspapers to keep correspondents in the Philippines so long as their reports, however accurate they may be, are suppressed. The Administration is willing to al- low other correspondents to take the place of those to be ex- pelled, but will allow the new ones to do nothing except to re- peat the falsifications prepared in the interest of Mr. McKin- ley’s presidential boom. i ad Government employes are well paid and their payment is always certain, yet many of them appear to be constantly at the mercy of money-lenders. There are other reasons for the spread of poverty than lack of employment. The thriftless man will sooner or later be poor and in debt, regardless of his opportunities. He does not deserve employment, “Stirring up animus” is almost as bad as “treason.” The facts that come out in the investigation of trusts are perilous to the Administration. They move the multitude and create a demand that both the great parties shall go to the country as sincerely opposed to combinations that are destructive of com- petition. “May the day never come when Englishmen will be afraid of proclaiming that their country is wrong when they hon- estly think her to be so,” says an English writer. This is true wisdom. It is as foolish for a nation as for a man to refuse to acknowledge error and seek to avoid or correct it. The Chinese opinion that remarkable American machinery is worked by the aevil is not much worse than some of the ideas that still have life in our own enlightened United States. While we laugh at the Chinamen, let us make an occasional examination of ourselves. = i i A The Cubans who called the Spanish lion haughty and hun- gry are now saying that the American eagle is crafty. There will never be a satisfactory zoological garden in Cuba until the Cubans are given the independence we promised them, —— Tf American manufacturers can undersell their English rivals in English markets, how can the English manufacturers get into the American market? Protection serves no purpose now save to add to the profits of the trusts. ==! = i ie If things were right in the Philippines neither Gen. Otis nor the Washington Administration would be hurt by the re- ports of correspondents. Men who are right do not dodge publicity. _ >> rv A Cabinet officer may mix in all sorts of wickedness without a word of censure from the Administration. He is only re- quired to stay away from reform and reformers. The McKinley cuckoo organs and the Stephens cuckoo or- gans are both having a sweaty summer. It is very trying to be on the defensive all the time. Both Democrats and Republicans of good standing will con- tinue to hold to street car straps in St. Louis. The correspondents’ round robin is almost as bad as was Rider Teddy Roosévelt’s. = = — =~ SS POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. ‘Alger got a cok potato when he néeded a biscuit.

BERRY. St. Louis has the reputation of being the most hospitable, the most generous and the most successful in her public enterprises of any city in this country. Her exposition stands unrivaled as an exhibition that has been carried on for nearly a quarter of a century. While other cities have made a partial success for a year or two, St. Louis has successfully finaintained her exposition until it is now consid- ered a permanent institution. The same may be said of her Fair Association. And the same spirit of enthusiasm, courage and determination will make the exposi- tion of 1903 an event in the history of the city, whose good effect will be felt for a century to come. Besides the benefits to be derived from the fair, the pride, stand- ing and future of the city is at-stake. She has already proclaimed her intentions and there must be no backward step. Every interest, industry and organization should respond to make the fair a success, St. Louis has always been sponsor for the West, and godmother to the South, while the North has courted her, and the East has sought her hand. And in her effort to properly celebrate the purchase of a nation, she will have the support and assistance, not only of her own people and her own State, but the whole country.

I am deeply in love with a young lady who aiso loves me, but although her father does not know mine, nor has he ever seen me, he has forbid- den her to see me. As I can’t see her at her home and she does not like to meet me else- where, I would like your advice as to how I can win myself into her father’s favor. STUPID. You can’t win his favor by being stupid. Go to him like a man. Let him see what you are, if you are anything, and then wait for his approval. Don’t dare to tempt the young woman to meet you clandes- tinely. THE OLD QUESTION. I am @ young lady who works in a store and { am in love with a young man who calls every day on business.

If you persist in your present course ruin awaits you. If you cannot live at home find some employment which will bring you in a support. I realize how un- happy you are, but you must bear ur burden until you can lay it down without shame. 4 TYPEWRITER. I am a young lady who is a typewriter. I met with a young man about a year ago. I like him very much. He has told some of my friends he likes me, too. He has brought me home several times from parties and paid lots of attention to me, and he don’t want me to have any other company. He also asked me for my company. He made an engagement with me to call on me, but he never came or made any excuse. What shall I do to find out if he likes me or not? 8. M. B. I don’t think the young man is gerious.

Jim Jeffries, the new world’s champion, is now on the way east from his home in California and in en route to England. He will be at Cincinnati on Sunday, at Dayton, O., on Monday and at Youngs- town, O., on Tuesday. Jeffries will not be seen in public exhibi- tion in America after Tuesday until his bat- tle with Tom Sharkey, October 23. The Ohio man will train at Brady’s cottage, Asbu Park, for his contest with Sharkey. Jef- fries, if successful in defeating Sharkey, is willing to take on Corbett two months after his meeting with the sailor. Since the defeat of Fitzsimmons Jeffries has made a tour of the principal cities from New York to San Francisco, and next Thursday he will sail for London, at which place his manager, William A.

There were two important boxing matches Friday night at Chcaigo. Joe Choynski boxed six rounds with Jack McCormick, of Philadelphia. Choynski got the decision at the end of the sixth round. He did most of the leading, but the decision did not seem to please the spectators. At New York the long talked of mill between Bob Armstrong and Stockings Conroy was brought off and the former was given the decision. Conroy came to the ring with 20 ponds of superfiuous fiesh, Armstrong, on the contrary, was in superb shape, and towered above his stocky op- genset. The colored man was fast enough, ut he showed a marked lack of aggressive. ness and an inability to gauge distance in hitting. In the opening rounds Arm- strong was wild and Conroy kept up against him without doing any damage. The pace quickened and it became a fight in the tenth. Then there were three rounds of hurricane fighting, and out of each of them the colored man recled to his corner, bleeding and groggy. The 10 to 8 money that had gone on him in large quantities looked in danger. He pulled out, however, and had the best of the last five rounds. ew. es a E” aes Us eI nh het GOLA OO Morrie Rauch, the great Ittle bantamweight pugilist, this morning accompanied by his old friend Chicago reached St. Louis and asatirer.

Four double plays, one when (Minneapolis had an excellent chance to score in the ninth inning, livened up matters.” Manager Walter Wilmot of the Minne- apolis club has given an effective quietus to the rumors that he would be the next manager of the Cincinnati ball players by saying that there is just as much chance of his manag'ng the team there as there is of his managing the Klondike gold mines. Moreover, another authority, who is in close touch with the National League situ- ation, Says that there is a very good rea- son why Wilmot cannot hope to be given the positiun. That reason is that the new manager has already been chosen, and WiI- liam . Watkins, erstwhile of the Indian- apolis and Pittsburg clubs, is the man. Watkins has always stood very close to Mr. Brush, and it is said that the agree- ment between them as to the future conduct of the Cincinnati team has already as- sumed a very definite shape. On the League Diamonds. The Booklyns appear to have this year’s pennant cinched. George Davi shas accepted 62 chances in the last eight games. Recent figures show that the New Yorks, Brooklyns and Chicagos lead in double plays, with 71 each. The Philadelphia club has offered a prize of $5000 to the players if they win the pen- mont this year and $2000 if they finish sec- ond. Doheny will go on the Western trip with the New Yorks, and it is expected that he will have sufficiently recovered from his injury to do some pitching. There is too much of a tendency toward slouchiness in uniforms among the League teams. The Boston, Pittsburg and St. Louis teams wear by far the neatest cuits.

He Has No Use for Those Who Attack Sunday Baseball. FORT WAYNE, Ind., July 22.—Among the sensational developments of the agita- fion on the subject of Sunday baseball which is now engaging the attention of the -people of Fort Wayne an interesting inter- view is given out by Rev. Maurice Samson, of the Heidelberg Reformed Church of this city. Dr. Samson says: “I believe that eome of the enterprising and overzealous ministers had better take hold of some of the greater evils in the city and leave some of the lesser ones, such as Sunday baseball, alone. Some of our broth- er ministers in this city show very little ministerial dignity in their actions in com- ing before the public in such an unenviable light through the course pursued by them in the fight against Sunday baseball. The ball game at League Park neither concerns me nor any other pastor. It is out of our jurisdiction. It is etrange that the minig- ter and saloon keeper are working together in harmony in the Sunday baseball agita- tion, the former for notoriety, the latter for gain. Rev. Sherman Powell’s action last Sunday was certainly undignified. To disguise one’s self in the manner he did was not coming out im his true colors. It is a stigma upon the other ministers in this city, and we are getting some unde- served notoriety. I belleve that God has placed us here to preach the simple Gospel of Christ, but not to do police duty. We must leave that to the proper authorities.” The interview has created something of a eensation, especially in clerical circles, ee M’GOVERN AND PALMER. The Forfeit Money for Their Match Is at Last Up. NDEW YORK, July 22.—The forfeit money binding the international match between Terre McGovern and Pedlar Paimer, which takes place at the Weschester Atheletic Club on September 1, was to-day posted by Dr. Ordway for Palmer, Sammy Harris, for McGovern, and G. W. B. Gray for the club. This was consistent with the articles of agreement that the two fighters should post $1000 each, $00 of which is for weight and the remainder for appearance. The club also deposited its money, which, in the event of its failure to pull off the fight, will be divided equally between the fighters. In view of: the fact that the fighters have signed articles of agroouent to fight at the Westchester Club the movements of Billy Brady in London and Paris were, to put it mildly, very strange. No Louisville Fall Meeting. TOUISVILLE, Ky., July 22.—The Louls- ville Jockey Club has just decided not to hold any fall meeting. One was prapesed and considered, but has been abandoned on the advice of Secretary Charles Price. Mr. Price is of the opinion that while a fall meeting this year would probably prove Wandering Jew led all the way and won the final heat of the consolation race handi- ly in 2:13. Maude Emperor got second money, Hipless third. both profitable and popular it would be im- possible to get high-ciass horses here, and it would thus sink to the level of a gam- bling enterprise. THE HARGADINE-M’KITTRICKS, The Great Business Team Are at Bonne ' Terre To-Day. The Hargadine-McKittrick Club left this monring for Bonee Terre, Mo., where they play the local club of that place and as the clubs seem to be about evenly matched, a good game is expected. The Bonne Terre people have recently finished a splendid rk and are in posi- tion to entertain visiting clubs in royal style, and as they are a fine lot of peo- le, games with their cliub will no doubt e sought after by the best clubs. A monster picnic takes place there to- pee and the visitors expect a glorious time. The Hargadine-McKittricks take the fol- lowing players: ewitz, Reining, Poetting, Murphy, Rogers, Mier, Moran, Steger, To- zier and Dawes. They will be in charge of their manager, Mr. George H.

As their house, however, is now getting so busy it will be impossible for them to play Saturday afternoons and in conée- quence games will necessarily have to be played on Sundays. Many of their games will likely be played out of the city, as cities where they have customers will be anxious for games with them, TWENTY-FOUR HOUR RECORD. “Jenny” Walters, Does 637 Miles in Paris. When Cordang made his remarkable ride of 616 miles in 24 hours it was thought that his record would stand for some time, but in less than two years it has been beaten and a new mark, still more wonder- ful, created. A. E. Walters, an Englishman, has done 637 miles in the journey twice around the clock. It was in the famous Bol d’Or, the 2- hour contest that is run annually The Pnglishman had been training for the ride for several months, and from the start he showed he meant business. The first 100 was done in 3:13:12 2-5, and from 110 miles up Walters got inside record and stayed there, putting new figures on the slate the rest of the way. (Motor pace was used, and what makes the ride far more remarkable than that of Cordang’s is the fact that Walters made his record in competition, while Cordang’s was a private trial. The 616 miles record was never officially accepted, so Walters will be given credit for breaking Huret’s 664 miles, 926 yards. eT Walters, as the new record man is familiarly known, is one of England’s best long-distance men. Heretofore he has always had to take a back seat for Stocks and Chase, but when he won the Gold Vase middle-distance race a couple of years ago from the best men in Engiand he began to come to the front. He trained for the any amateur club in the city, it is is ex- | JOHN RYAN AT HOME a ST. LOUIS’ HEAVIEST PLUNGER RETURNS FROM THE EAST. a THE FAIR GROUNDS RACES.

SAMUEL TOOK HIS SON TO CHICAGO. MISS RAWDON STILL HOPEFU | 4n Engagement Made at Springs, Ark., Interfered With by a Fond Father. Web M, Samuel, Jr., son of the grain merchant, is sojourning in Chicago with his father, to prevent his marriage with Miss Alice Rawdon of 517 Von Versen av- enue. The Samuels move in the upper strata of St. Louis society. One of Miss Rawdon’s male relatiyes is a clerk, another is a Street car conductor. Web Samuel, Jr., is of legal age and a year over, but, it is alleged, his father and other members of the family considered thatthe proposed marriage was ill-advised, and they pre- vented it by heroic measures. Now the young man who thought to be- come a benedict is listening to what the wild waves are saying on the banks of the Chicago River under the guidance of his papa, and the young lady is at home con- fident that their plans will mature properly in the end. It was stated by a younger brother of Web, Jr., who has just returned from School for the summer vacation, that Web would probably never return to St. Louis. He also announced that the Samuel fam- ily was perfectly satisfied with the father’s action. e was quite sure that his brother would not have agreed with Miss Rawdon’s folks had the marriage been permitted to take place. It napeare the young folks met at Eu- reka Springs, Ark., about six weeks ago. Samuel is 22> years old. Miss Rawdon is his junior. Miss Rawdon has a pleasing appearance and engaging manners. When the two returned to St. Louis Mr. Samuel became a frequent caller at the Rawdon residence. Soon they fell in love and be- came engaged. It is said that Samuel sounded his father on the subject and as- certained that there was strong opposition in that quarter. It is also said the couple weni out to Clayton Thursday, where they failed to Secure a license to wed. The Samuels, father and son, departed for Chicago Thursday night. 77,000,000 PEOPLE IN 1900. The Treasury Department’s Estimate of the Coming Census. WASHINGTON, July 22.—An estimate, prepared by the Government Actuary of the Treasury Department, published by the Bureau of Statistics of that department, and made the basis of several important calcu- lations undertaken in the latter office, gives Support to the popular expectation that the next census will give the United States a population of 77,000,000. This copnng the population on June 1, 1898, at 74,- J8Y, 000, thus assuming an increase of 11,766.- i, or 18.79 per cent since the census of 1890, A very rough calculation, involving a minimum of mathematical knowledge, yet one that would not be widely inaccurate for so short a period if the original premises were correct, shows that this estimate in- volves an average annual 471,000, which, decade, would ive a total population at tnat time of 77,322,000. more careful study of the Treasury es- timates, taking into consideration those published for each year since 1890, indicates that the Actuary assumes that the move- ment of population conforms to what is known as an algebraic curve of the third degree. Such indefinitely, and in involves only a compar- atively simple calculation to discover that the Treasury estimate of population for the ‘ear foniie eabeaon ee present method S radically modified, be between 77,675,000 and 77,680,000. 1° SOME PICNICS AND FESTIVALS.

Then the barkeepers applied for warrants. Met His Match at Last. From the Verdict. A member of the Kentucky bar named Simmondson, who was in the habit of in- timidating the opposing witnesses, was once engaged in the trial of a case involving the title to some farm lands. and a number of countrymen were called jin to testify on the other side. When Simmondson came to | cross-examine he harassed them in every imaginable manner, and whenever they wou d show signs of confusion would roar out: What are you hesitating for? - Are you afraid you may tell a lie?” If the vic- tim replied “No,” Simmondson would re- tort: I was sure you didn’t fear a little thing like that.” and if the answer was Yes,"’ he would say, with a sneer: ‘Aha, I thought so."" The last witness he took in hand was a tall, lank farmer with a thoughtful eye. He had watche the bait- ing of his neighbors in dead silence and took the stand with perfect composure, Simmondson evidently set him down as a lout, and when the witness hesitated over some question a moment later he fired his favorite shot: “What are y’ studying about?’ he bellowed; ‘ ’fraijia’ of telling a lie, too, I suppose?”’ Without any apparent haste the countryman picked up a massive inkstand and hurled it straight at Sim- mondson’s head, catching htm on the bridge of the nose and knocking him sense- less. ‘‘That's what I was a-studyin’ about,”’ he drawled in the moment of; dead silence that followed the act. Needless to say, a tremendous hubbub ensued, but everybody was secretly pleased, and while the Judge fined the farmer heavily for contetipt, he subsequently remitted t e senfence.

THE OUTLOOK IS FAVORABLE. Difficulties in Money. Believing to Be Resolving Themselves and Feeling Is Easier. > — NEW YORK, July 22.—The stock market has been in a waiting attitude during the whole week and the dealings have been narrow and professional and the movement of prices sluggish and irregular, down one day and up the next. The general outlook is regarded as favorable in all directions with business of unexampled proportions in all branches of industry, railroad earnings exceeding all previous records, money abundant and crops large. The present in- volvement of the money market is believed to be due to the homoporary causes and the delay in the difficulties there resolving themeelves has been the princes cause or the hesitation in the stock market. There have been evidences during the week that the difficulties in money were resolving themselves both here and abroad and the uneasiness over the symptoms of unrest amongst wage earners have also measur- ably subsided. The result has been an improved tone to the speculation and ad- vancing prices toward tne end of the week. New York Money and Exchange. NEW YORK, July 22.—Money on call. nominally 3@4 per cent.

Until Doc Sweeney's “‘Castie Morro’ was by order of the police, Webber, Abel ‘and other lesser lights made that place eir headquarters. Now, the police say, Webber is to be found at Tenth and Chesi- mut streets and at Twelfth and Linden @treets. . ‘Webber was arrested, tried and convicted of trying to fleece Peter Koerstner, a far- eer. living near Teutopolis, over in Ef- . p age a ta) ne . 90, °4 othe: aid PRNEST WEBBER. fingham County, Ill. When Farmer, Koer- Stner left the train he walked up the Mid- Way. “Dutch’’ Webber saw the farmer’s Droadbrimmed biack hat and his verdant air. Webber approached Koerstner and ad- dressing him told him he was a stranger in the city and had intended going away, but had missed his train. He would wait now until evening. He was going downtown and if the stranger had no obeijctions he would walk with him. Koerstner was fa- vorably impressed with Webber's respect- ful and cordial manner and was glad to be accompanied by ‘this new-found friend. Webber adroitly led his victim to Con O’Donnell’s saloon on Linden street.

ASSAULTED ONCE BEFORE. Highwaymen Appear to Have a Fond- ness for Him and He Has Already Lost One Eys by Them. An unidentified man fired three shots at the conductor of a crowded Broadway cable car about 10:30 o’clock Friday night and then fled. One shot struck the con- ductor, C. N. Beal. The others went wild. The woncer is that some one waa not killed. The shooter has not been eaptured. ® The shooting took place on cgr No. 39, going north, just at Biddle stfeet, at a time when passengers filled both cars. The stranger had boarded the rear car at Carr street and the conductor asked for his fare. The man parieyed with him, but the conductor § insisted. Then the stranger, who stood on the front of the trailer, while Beal was on the grip car, drew nis re- volver and began firing. There was a panic among the passengers, who jumped from the cars in every direc- tion. The man fired his revolver three times, and one shot struck Beal in the left leg. just above the knee. Then he leaped from the car and ran to the sidewalk on the east side of Broadway, passing thence, by a lunch stand, to Biddle street, going toward the river. Not much effort was made to apprehend him, as he flashed his revolver continually. Beal wes helped to the sidewalk by the passengers and when an ambulance ar- rived, was sent to the City Dispensary, where his wound, which is not serious, was dressed. He was then sent home to 22 Wyoming street. ‘The conductor's assailant is described as being about 22 years old, of medium height and slender; face smoothly shaven. He wore a dark suit of clothes and a black stiff hat, according to the police report, while several others said he wore a straw hat. Beal said he could identify him, as did several of the witnesses, whose names were taken. This is the second assault of which Beal has been the victim within the last few months. On the night of Feb. 20 last while on the trailer of his car at Clark avenue, two masked men attired in workingmen’s clothes held him at the point of a revolver and demanded his money. When he refused to submit they beat him over the head with the butts of their revolvers, and as a result he loat the sight of his left eye. OVEN WAS TOO HOT FOR HIM Young Fred Bohn Succumbed to Heat and Was Sent to the City Hos- pital Unconscious. Fred Bohn, 17 years old, a baker. at 11(9 Morgan street, was overcome by heat in front of his oven Saturday morning and fell unconscious. He was removed to the City Hospital, still unconscious, and the physicians there had great difficulty bring- ing him back to life. The case is similar to those which fre- quently occur on battle:hips, where stokers are overcome by the flerce heat of the fire- rooms. The oven of this bakery is like most others, a close place, and the temperature becomes unendurable when baking is in progress. Bohn being young and compar- atively new to the trade, succumbed. t is thought he wil] recover. }ONE OF THE P-D. HUSTLERS Frank Bloss Sells Over Two Hundred Copies of the Post-Dispatch Every Day.

HE KILLED FRANK CONROY. Judge, Jury and Governor Were Len- ient—Carried From City Jail and Sent Home in a Oarriage. , Jceeph Drivers was carried from the City Jail Friday afternoon. So weak he can- not bear his own weight, and in the very shadow of death. Drivers has returned to the house of the woman for love of whom he became a murderer. Justice has been tempered in Drivers’ case, more so, perhaps, than in any other case shown by the St. Louis criminal rec- orde. Indicted for murder in the first de- gree, and with overwhelming proof against him, a merciful judge allowed him to plead guilty to the mildest charge that can be placed against a man who has shed human blood and blotted out a life, and imposed on him a ehort penitentiary sentence. Missouri's chief executive went still fur- ther and extended a full pardon and on the day that Drivers was to have heen re- moved to enter upon penal servitude, the prison doors swung open to him and he was sent back to the woman he sinned so griev- ously for—to die. Law and death raced to see whith should claim Joe Drivers. Though the law might have achieved a aor ery triumph it was plain that death would claim the victim be- fore the law, in its slow and methodical fashion, could strangle him in expiation of his crime. The sight of Drivers sitting in front of nis narrow cell has been one of the pathetic sights in the St. Louis Jail for half a ear. Pale as death itself, and emaciated, ut the shadow of the man he once was, Joe Drivers sat pesenty awaiting the call of the law and of his Maker, Consumption a ———$—$_—— JOSEPH DRIVERS. had fastened upon him and in the gloomy prison it fast robbed him of his strength. The etory of Joe Drivers is one of sin and degradation. The only bright spots. are the mercy shown him by the law and the faithfulness to him of the woman for love of whom he placed himself in the shadow of the gallows. Joe Drivers is a negro, though to look at him one who did not know would not sus- pect that ony such blood coursed through is veins. is hair is flaxen and is only Slightly wavy. His eyes are blue and his complexion fair. It only by his voice that the negro characteristic can be de- tected. In strange contrast with his appear- ance is his speech. The dialect ig that of a low-born and ignorant negro. He is less than 3 years of age, and he never rose higher than being porter in a barber shop. e was the consort of Birdie Dupee, one of the most notorious negresses in the city. The times she~hags been ar- rested and the crimes she has beer charged with would fill a book. But she was faith- ful to Drivers and when the opportunity offered she gent a carriage to the jail and took him to her home. A little more than a year ago Drivers was in the Dupree woman’s house one morn- ing. One of the other inmates saw a white man pass! The man was Frank Conroy. He was a laborer and was drinking. He thought, and peoeve not without cause, that he was ing robbed. He ‘hecame angry and got to fighting with the women. Drivers picked up a brick and hurled it with all his might at Conroy. He fell un- conscious to the floor. Birdie Dupree was at his side in a moment, and she saw that he must die. She gave Drivers money and told him to run. Then ghe called the police. Conroy was taken to the City Hospital, where he died without regaining conscious- ness. Drivers went away, and was after- ward captured at Indianapolis. He was brought back and indicted for first degree murder. When his trial was called he was so weak he could not walk to the court room. The doctors said he had consump- tion and could live but a few months. Judge Klein allowed him to plead guilty to manslaughter in the fourth degree, and imposed a sentence of two years in the penitentiary. He was. to have gone with two other prisoners Saturday, ut Gov. Stephens sent a pardon Friday. Birdie Du- ree went to the jail Friday afternoon and n a rubber-tired carriage she took Joe Drivers back to the place where he became a murderer. He has but a few days to live, and he rejoices that he will die amid the surroundings that are so repulsive to most eople, but to the only life he has ever caown.
