' dpecial to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIPLD, Mo., July 4.—Five thou- @and persons heard Mrs. Cora L. V. Rich- Mond at the spiritualist camp meeting last Might when she delivered what purported To be a message from the late Robert G. Ingersoll. The audience included many wo- men and children of every condition and Station in life. A dozen or more orthodox Ministers were close listeners. With the gifted Mrs. Richmond as a mouthpiece. the great agnostic reiterated in the main the chief features of the views when on earth. Mrs. of striking appearance, voice, and despite the icism that prevailed very generally through the audience, this unique message which was in the shape of a public ad- dress, abounded in Ingersollian eloquence and pretty flights of oravory. Mrs. Rich- m prefaced her address by an announce- ment that Col. Ingersoll, now in spiritiand, aled to her to act as his medium tn talking to the people. “He came to me Yesterday,’ and the medium, “and as we @nnounced at the time, I am'‘here now w the message that he is sending. remember that I am not talking You hear my voice, but the words He is putting to you. aré those of Col.

Ingersoil was speaking to the world through her. is it held in the stuffy, disease-reeking basement of the Four Courts BuiNing. It is upstairs on the main floor now, in a big, well-lighted, airy room. But otherwise Police Court is the same old grind. The cases, the prisoners, the witnesses, the court attaches, the crowd—not even a revo- lution would change them. Not all of police court business is done while court is in session. In fact, most of it is not done then. It is transacted before the judge takes his seat on the bench. Otherwise there wouldn't be hours enough in the 24 to accommodate the mere routine. [t is before court that the*real work is done. _Police Court ostensibly opens at 9 o'clock. For an hour previous.to that time the court room is a human bive, in which busy bees buzz, and somesma@kée honey and some make money, andsso#fe make their escape. It is a_ shifting wd of the shiftless. wherein the old play of the spider and the fly is efacted Over and aver again. The spiders are all blué-coated, and the profane call them “fly’’—but they’re not. e files are largely of the .bar variety, and are much the worse fér Wear. The outcome of the fable varies in every case. Sometimes the fly, by a ltberal buzzing, and, perhaps, a generous sweetening, escapes from the net. Again, he is caught by his own efforts all the firmer. The head spider, the chief keeper of the web, as it were, carries a huge brass key. Nobody knows why this key is so immense; the finest locks in the world have no keys at all. But from the days when the web first meant iron bars and a guard to\open them, the big iron or brass ca has been. And it probably will be till the end: of time. The head spider and his key are great: ex- pediters of pre-court settlements. Just the nature of these transactions it would be impolite (and futile) to pry into. But one may see the key-spider step into the corner where the blue-clad spiders most do con- gregate, and beckon to one with his key, and there will be a chat with a friendly fly, or, perhaps, a talk through the web with one caught, and then, when court begins, there will be a quiet, maybe, a whispered conference between the spider, the fly, the spider in blue goes poll through his drawl. out and the untamed parrot yells at him, through habit: er hat!” And the apltet pare hard and—doesn'’t. Whereat the poll parrot becomes as pink Oe ae ta: maith more of this—nearly an hous of it. Great lists of cases are ‘‘con- tinued’’—which is a gentle way of strangling them to death—and some more are “‘nolle prossed”’ or “dismissed on cost"’—all at the instance of the crash-coated attorney. But the ranks of the blue coats remain practically intact—there is a witness fee in sight for every one. These cases passed niclude all sorts of things—thefts, pool- room raids, assaults, all the petty misde- meanors of a great city. . ‘ * * » * + Then the judge says—it is his first real hand in the game: ‘Call the docket!” “No. 33!" shouts: fhe man in the box. The spider with. the key leads in a gir} of yellow hue, in a dirty blue waist.and a red gkirt and a broad. grit, Two blue coats are sworn afid they, tel their story. She was caught at 3 o’clock the morning carrying brass knuckles, which .are. coh- traband to the police. She had been drink- ing in'a saloon, This is funny to her, and she chuckles audibly. She slouches to the witness chair and answers snappily. She even cries—it has a good effect, sometimes. ‘Ten dollars!’ says the judge. She goes back to the spider wab, swear- ing and shaking her fist at the arresting officer. : A burly negro youth is confronted by a man whose head is concealed by bandages. The negro pleads not guilty. A long talk ensues and somehow, he goes. That is another of the mysteries. ‘Kate Casey!” says the judge. “Kate Casey!”’ “Kate Cacey!’’ key. Kate Casey is a small girl who comes in timidly and eries voluminously. She is dressed too neatly for the place. like a stranger. She takes the stand and yells tells her story to the judge, who leans over and listens. ‘No. 30 discNarged!” says the judge. Jack-in-the-box is too disguested - ing like such an amount as that.

A week or two earlier does not mat- ter anyhow.’ He did not then imagine that death was so near.”’ Mr. Farrell said he would rather not mention the actual amount for which his brother-in-law was insured. ‘‘All that Il can say is that he did not die a rich man by any means. He was very charitable and otherwise spent money freely.”’ Asked whether Col. Ingersoll left a will, Mr. Farrcll replied that he did not know of any will, and doubted very much wheth- er the Colonel had made one. FUNERAL ON TUESDAY. Friends Decide That the Body of In- gersoll Will Be Cremated. NHDW YORK, July “#.—It was decided to- day that funeral services over the remains of Robert G. Ingersoll will be held at the family home in Dobbs Ferry to-morrow. John Clark Ridpath and O. J. Smith, life- long friends of Mr. Ingersoll, will make brief addresses. The body will be cremated either to-morrow afternoon or Wednesday moruing. INGERSOLL’S “POEMLOF LIFE.” A Copy Secured by the Post-Dispatch and Herewith Presented. Since the death of Col. Robert G. Inger- soll, the Post-Dispatch has received many requests for the publication of his ‘“‘Poem of Life.” In response to these requests a copy Was secured, it is presented here: INGPRSOLIL’S “PODM OF LIFE.” Born of love and hope, of ecstacy and dowered with the wealth of two hearts—held in happy arms, with life's drifted font, blue-veined where perfect peace finds perfect form— rocked by willing feet and wooed to shadowy shores of sleep by siren mother Singing soft and low—looking with wonder'’s wide and startled eyes at common things of life and day—taught by want and wish and contact with the thines that the dimpled flesh of babes—lured by and flame and charmed by color’s wondrous robes, learning the use of hands and feet, and by the love_of mimicry beguiled to utter speech—re sing prisoned from crabbed an urious marks on soiled and tattered leav puzzilng the brain with crooked numbers nd their changing, gled worth—and so through years of nating day and night, until the grows familiar with the chains and walls and limitations of a life. united lips upon and fair, the one of all the world is wooed and won, and all the lore of love is taught learned again. the fair chamber wherein faint dreams, like coo) and shadowy vales, divide the b llowed hours of love. Again the miracie of birth —the pain of joy, the kiss of welcome and the cradle song, drowning the drowsy prattle of a babe And then the sense of obligation and of wrong—pity for those-.who toil and weep— tears for the imprisoned and despised—love for the generous dead, and in the heart the rapture of a high resolve. And then ambition, with its lust of pelf and place and power, longing to put upon its breast distinction’s worthless badge. Then keener thoughts of men, and eyes that see behind the smiling mask of cratt— flattered no more by the obsequious cringe of gain and greed—knowing the uselessness of hoarded gold and honor bought from those who charge the usury of self-respect— of power that only bends a coward'’s knees and forces from the lips of fear the lies of praise. Knowing at last the unstudied gesture of esteem, the reverent eyes made rich with honest thoughts and holding high above all other things—high as hope’s throbbing star about the darkness of the dead—the love of wife and child and friend. Then locks of gray and growing love of other days and half remembered things— then holding withered hands of those who first held his, while over dim and loving eyes death softly presses down the lids of rest. And so. locking in marriage vows his chii- dren's hands, and erossing others on the breasts of peace, with daughters’ babes upon his knees, the white hair mingling with the gray. he journeys on from day to day to the horizon where the dusk is wait- ing for that night—sitting: by the holy hearth of home, as the last embers change from red to gray, he falls asleep w.thin the arms of one he worshipped and adored feeling upon his pallid lips love's last and holiest kiss. — Embezzlement Is Charged.

BOUGHT SEVEN WIVES, —_————_ -—- —-—- CCNNECTICUT FARMER HAS A EMALL MORMON COMMUNITY. THEY DO THE FARM WORK. All Live Under the Same Roof, but They Are Said to Be Har- monious. NEW HAVEN, July 24.—Salvatore | di Chiello has six more wives than the law al- lows, and he is not yet 28 years of age. All of Chiello’s seven wives live under the same roof and harmoniously on a farm, near Walinegford. It is a varied and cosmopoli- tan collection. Two of the women are Ital- ian, two are Irish, one is German and one is French. The Italian and Irish women are Catholics; the German and French are Prot- estants. : By each of these wives Chiello has had two children, the eldest ‘being a boy of eleven years and the youngest a girl baby in arms. Chiello fell into the hands of the police this week, not because he was wanted for his six-fold violation of the marriage laws of the State, but because he was. charged with non-payment of debt. He had bor- rowed $100 from Giovanni Gaudino, and had run away, leaving a balance of $69. “Are you married?’ Chicilo was asked when he was examined at the police station. “Yes,”’ he replied indifferently. “What is your wife's name?" “Which one?’ he asked.

Out behind the railing that separates:the spiders and the court and his minions from the Ishmaelites, there is a motley throng, come to gloat at the struggling flies, or to pity them, or out of idle curiosity—for the police court is a great place to loaf, be it noted, and a fine opportunity to be- come versed in criminal ways, and terms is offered. Here is a knot of boys—they ought to be at work—watching what they will be doing probably all too soon. as principals. There is a strong tinge of black in the throng, for negroes like to watch the police court mill at work. There is olor. a few hats on feminine heads. , like as not, crown garishly painted that look anything but beautiful in the white, pure light of day. And there is a widow's weeds above a bowed head and a hidden face—that is tragedy. And there is a bunch of bare, Kinky hatr, atop of coppery skins, and broad grins are on these faces, and the owners are loud of voice and strident, and they personify cynicism. They have been there themselves, and they have to watch the torment of their sister. fiv, who is having her wings torn for the first time But in a police court crowd, though there is depression, sordidness, misery, hateful- ness, Villlany and indifirence, with much tincture of brutality, there is no peace, no pleasure, no bright spot. All {fs coarseness and dregs and uncharitableness, ° . ~ ° ° ° ° There ‘s a stir. A thin-faced man enters and walks up to the bench. A man ina box by the window sings in @ harsh mono- tone: “Oyez! ™ Oyez! Ovyez: And goes on to say that court is but you cannot tell what his words they are lost in a long, painful wait. And immediately up jump two or three underlings who shout fiercely: ‘Take yer hats off! You—take yer hats offt'’’ Which every one does except the women. The men in the box sits before a big ok. and the Judge sits before a bigger one. At a little desk stands a little chap in a little crash coat.

Erin—but the judge tells her, too, to go. Even spiders: make mistakes some times, One man is dismissed for want of prose- cution. There is a glad cry from a group of women outside the rail, and a gruff shout of “silence!’’ from the box, and one woman kisses the man and cries on his shoulder and again the box-man_ yells “Silence!” But neither the man nor the woman hears it; both are too happy.

Even here in London the insecurity is felt to such an extent that some families are leaving. The Philpots have 52 armed horsemen and no one knows how many footmen. The Morris send Griffin faction also have a large force. The Philpots say the latter include the White-Howard faction. On the other hand, the Morris faction say that the Bakers have made common cause with the Philpots. It is stated that Deputy Sheriff Davis Chadwell of the White-How- ard faction, has openly espoused the cause of the Griffins. It is hard for the people to conceive how, under these circumstances, a conflict can be avoided.

BEWATIVES HAVE CHARGE OF AMBITIOUS ISABEL COOLEY. annem SHE WOULD BE AN ACTRESS. SHE CHAFED UNDER THE RE- STRAINTS OF HER HOME. Met Many Disappointments and Was Discouraged Everywhere, but on Trying to Find Work as a Nurse Help Came to Her. NEW YORK, July 24.—Ambition drove Isabel Cooley into destitution and privation. After many weary weeks of suffering she Was restored last evening to the home of her relatives, where she will be tenderly cared for. Her father, Maj. William Cooley, is one of the best-known citizens of St. Paul, M nn. He was for years the head of a successful detective agency there. Isabel’s mother died when she was a littie child. Maj. Coo- ley remarried. He and his daughter did not get on so well after that. Isabel Cooley is a pretty, brilliant, high- Spirited girl of 17 years. She gained great Praise as a child by her recitations. She was full of dramatic fire; she could inter- pret faithfully the spirit of the stirring Words she declaimed. As she grew o.der she joined an amateur dramatic club. She Was a success from the first. Everybody applauded her. iss Cooley disagreed with her father last February. She could endure no longer the restraints that she regarded as tyrannous. Ambition beckoned to her. She took all the Savings of her allowance which she had hoarded for months and started for Chi- cago. There, she reasoned with the peculiar Wisdom of 16-year-old girlhood, she wouid Quickly become the most wonderful actress ever known. From theater to theater she went, hopeful, then disappointed, saddened at last by utter failure. No manager could find time to hear her. She could not get a chance. For three months she struggled, borne up by pride and the courage that none but the unrecognized children of tal- ent know. At last came the day when the proud girl was compelled to acknowledge defeat, Miss Cooley was not conquered. She felt eure that in some other place she must find her opportunity and ultimate triumph. She told her story to Philip Wellington, an old friend of her father, a broker at No. 220 La Salle street. He helped her to transportation to St. Louis.

FEELING IN LONDON. | RATES ARE WOBBLING. Paris, Berlin ard Other Frankfort Banks Are Overloaded and Lethargic. LONDON, July 2.—The cloud has lifted fram the money market as swiftly as it fell. On Wednesday an easier tendency first began to display itself, and dealers with credit began to think that the bank rate need not necessarily be changed. No change was made ,and ‘the weekly bank statement indicated that the absorption of gold and notes into circulation had paused, if not come to an end. ‘More important «till. the figures proved the stringency to be artificial and the product of the bank’s own action. To make money scarce in the open market it has borrowed more than it lent; either ‘that, or it sold stocks for cash. Inetantly the market felt at ease with itself again, and rate-cutting Was suspended. 5 Barly in the week the bill brokers stood out against the market and refused to buy bills under 3% per cent. On Thursday they did a smail business at 3% per cent, no i casionally less, and yesterday the ra was about 3% per cent and threatens to go below 3 per cent this week. At the same time money has fallen to 2 and 2% per cent, These wobdblings are unpleasant and ev- erybody is inquiring why the bank was seized with euch alarm-producing energy. The explanation is simple enough. Had the bank not acted as it had done, gold would thave been exported and we should have seen a 5 per cent rate established be- fore we could get it back again. By cor- nering the market at once the bank forced rates up, turned exchanges in our favor and drew gold from the cont'nent. So po- tent ‘has been its influence that the Bank ef Amsterdam has been obtiged by swift successive steps to raise its rate from 2% to 4% per cent in order to protect Its bu.- lion. Trouble has been probably oniy pcst- poned because the situation on the conti- nent is sti precarious, but domestically all seems trim and stable. : A secondary cause of the bank’s action is to be found in the evil reports which have Building Soctety. In the course institution has developed a teposit bank, and now holds about $10,000,000 of money, all repay- able on demand, besides a million sunk in bricks and mortar. Ey allow-ng too liberal interest to depositors its management has been driven to invest in many secur-ties of a speculative Character. To re.ieve it of some of these it years ago created two trusts, each with $500,000 capital, but this was not enough and a fortnight ago a run began, threatening to puil it down. Hap- pily the Birkbeck possesses some miilions of good securities and was able te find means to pay. The danger, therefore, is sow over, but reorganization must foilow. Had this concern stopped payment the con- sequences must have been mosi lamentabie for deposit-taking banks in genera! and for thousends of humble persons. The Bank of England, therefore, did well to act en- ergetically to bring in go.d. Abroad affairs have not mended. The Paris Bourse is overloaded and lethargic. Berlin and Frankfort are in the same condition and stringency with ugly suspensions is still dreaded for the autumn. Perhaps the fear may work its remedy without a crisis, but the situation is recar.ous. In sor way the great wood pulp ndustry is paralyzed by the Christopherson failure, which hits German bankers badly, his liabilities being nearly $600,000, with as- sets doubtful, as his business was kept floatin by accommodation bills.

WASHINGTON, July 34.—That they may be more effective for the service intended, the Navy Department proposes to arm the four yachts which are-to do service in Cen- tral American waters In case of an emer- gency with formMabie batteries, The Dorothea will be the most heavily armed.

In view of averting as much as poesible a resort to arms the signatory powers agree to use all their efforts to insure a peaceful solution in international differences. . The signatory Powers decide that in cases of grave disagreement or conflict they will, as far as circumstances rmit, before taking arms, ap- ply to the good ices or mediation of one or sev- eral friendly Powers. Independently of this, the Powers deem it aseful that one or several disinterested Powers shail, as far as circumstances permit, spontane- ously offer their good offices or mediation, either before or during hostilities, and that such ipter- ference shall not be considered unfriendly by the quarreling parties. ‘Articles 4 and 5 are mere developments of the preceding ones. Articles 6 and 7 provide that the good offices or mediation of a third Power shall exclusively have the bearing of good counsel, without compulsory force, and unless agreed upon specially shall not cause the suspension of war preparations or tle interruption of the wer. Article 8. The signatory Powers agree to ntecom- mend the following speciabh form of medintion: That quarreling States should respectively ¢hoose two mediating Powers in view of preventing a rupture of friendly relations during the mediation, which is not to exceed 30 days. Quarreling Mowers shall have no direct intercourse between ithem- seives on the subject of the quarrel, which will be left entirely to the consideration of the me- diatory. . Articles 9, 10, 11, 12 and 18 provide that In international differences caused by difference of views as to facts which may be made the phject of local inquiry and do not involve the hoor or vital interests of the Powers concerned, the lat- ter should have recourse to the institution of in- ternational committees of inquiry to impartially decide on the matters of fact. The Powers con- cerned will afford such committees all necessary fecilities for their enlightenment. The commit- tee’s report will not have charter of an arbitra- tion award, but will leave the Powers concerned at liberty to act as they feel best. Article 14 is about the principle of interna- tional arbitration. Article 15. In all questions of judicial bearing, especially as regards the meaning or applidation of international treaties, arbitration is ackhow]l- edged to be the most efficient and most equitable mode of settling differences. Articles 16 and 17. The arbitration convention implies the agreement to submit in good faith to the arbitration award. Article 18. Independently of general or special arbitration treaties, the signatory powers reserve for themselves the right to conclude either before or after the ratification of Peace Conference (acts, new and general or special agreements with a view of extending compulsory arbitration to all tases they may deem fit. Articles 19 and ize a permanent at all times. Article 21. Such a court will be competent for all arbitration cases, unless there exists an agreement between the parties fur the establishment of spe- cial jurisdiction. Article 22. An international bureau will be es- tablished at The Hague under the direction of a permanent general secretary. This bureau will be the guardian of the arbitration court and! the archives. The signatory powers will provide it with a certified copy of all arbitration agreements concluded between themselves, and of all arbi- tration sentences pronourced by special jurisdic- tion. and all documents appertaining thereto. Article 23. Within tbree months after the ratli- fication of the Peace Conference acts each Power shall a gh four persons highly versed in in- ternational law and of high moral standing to act as arbitrators. They will form a court, and their full transactions will be communicated by the bureau to all the. Powers. One or several Powers may agree to choose in common one or several judges. The same person may represent different Powers. The members of the court are to be nomi- nated for six years, and their term may be re- newed. They will enjoy all diplomatic privileges. Article 24. Signatory Powers desiring to apply to the Arbitration Court for settlement of their differences shal] choose from the general list: the 20. The Powers agree to ofgan- court of arbitration, accessible 4 Dumber of arbitrators agreed upon between them- selves. Articles 25 and 26. The Arbitration Court will habitually eit at The Hague, and the seat can enly be altered in case of absolute necessity and by agreement of the parties. Nonsignatory Powers en may have recourse, to the Arbitration Sourt. Article 27. The signatory Powers consider it their duty. whenever an acute conflict threatening to peace occurs between any of them, to recall to — latter that the Arbitration Court is open to thein. Article 28. A permanent administrative council, consisting .of the diplomatic representatives of the Powers accredited at The Hague and of the Dutch Foreign . Secretary as Chairman, will be considered immediately after the ratification of the Peace Conference acts and will organize an international bureau which wil] remain under its direction and control. The said couneil shall each year supply the signatory Powers with a report of the Arbitration Court's labor. Articles 29 to 54 concern arbitration, the pro- ceedings of which will be conducted secretly. The sentence only is to be delivered publicly, and the court itself will decide in what language the pro- ceedings shall be conducted, it being enacted that each contending party will plead before the court as ordinary lawyers do in ordinary judicial cases. In conversation with an eminent diplomatist this morning I was told that the Russian delegates are eminently satistied with the determined and strong support the American delegation has given to the Conference, Which has triumphed, thanks to the United States and France. On the other band the Russians are painfully impressed by the Amer- ican opposition to disarmament, and to any strong measures against the employment of cruel imple- ments of war. This Is attributed by the Russians not to any bellicose feelings in the United States, but to the American desire of exerting its won- derful inventiveness in new ingenious mechanical inventions as applied to war. as well as to peace.

Gorgeous Gold and Silver Plate Owned by the Millionaire of New York. NDBW YORK, July 4.—There is no reason to believe that with the rise of the motor carriage society will lose one iota of its affection for the showy, high-stepping, swift-traveling horse. In proof of this the stables of some of our metropolitan Midases are yearly growing larger and more luxuri- ous, and the rivalry to possess the finest nag of its class is as keen as ever. There is not a better instance of the grip horsefiesh has on the New York affections than the establishment of Mr. John T. Williams. This rich man has a taste for fine roadsters to drive in his dozen and one vehicles, and has collected exactly 24 matched bays, and houses them quite as sumptuously in his Stamford stables as does Emperor William. The finest stableful of polo ponies, and it is a string of some 25, is owned by the Vingut brothers, who are the smartest gentlemen jockeys of the Long Island horse-loving set. One of these young men, Harry Vingut, is a remarkable rider. He has carried his horses about quite as much as Foxhall Keen, playing polo matches in England and India, and even in Australia, and he is quite inordi- nately proud of the fact that, with the ex- ception of his spinal column, every bone in his body has been broken at least once in the horsey cause. The chief aim, however, of the wealthy New Yorker is to own some conspicuously fine pair of carriage horses, and for a car- riage pair the decision always wavers, in Fifth avenue and Bellevue avenue, be- tween the merits of Hooker Hammersiey's and Mrs. Ogden Mills’ victoria horses. Absoluteiy nobody disputes, however, the superiority of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt's single brougham horse over all others. Her favorite is always a huge buckskin invariably harnessed to a claret-colorec brougham, lined with claret red slik Iin- side, showing red running gear, and her own coachman, Charles, and the groom, in claret liveries. Though the Cornelius Van- derbilte make little bother about it, their stables shelter some of the costliest and most thoroughbred equines in the States, and it requires 16 men to do the horses ustice. Among the women Mrs. Borden farriman possesses the noblest string of hunters, for she is a perfectiy fearless amazon in the saddle. Mrs. Regis Post owns the most faultless pair of Arabs, sired by Gen. Grant’s famous Arab, and Miss Vir- ginia Coudert and Miss Lila Sloan are the two most skillful four-in-hand drivers of the feminine persuasion. ss When Mrs. Bradley Martin left New York last spring it required a corps of skilled men, working five days, to pack for shipment or storive the giass and china alone of this wealthy lady, while «a set of men was busy for a couple of days storing in strong boxes her silver and gold plate, his is merely indicative of the way the wealth of our Americans brings them over- | Mariin. }in the disputed territory. whose sliver punch bowl, with its enamel! flection and when everybody has had Gg whelming possessicr.s, for Mrs. grape and fruit decoration about the sides, is big enough for a tat baby’s bathtub, and) who can serve a small dinner party from silver in every detall of plates, cups, dishes, soup tureen, etc. is but cne of the many hostesses that have astonishing collections of the precious utensils, ° The very top notch in gorgeous table ser- vice seemed to Dave been reached this past spring at the wedding of Mrs, Wiliam Soan’s daughter. From her couson, Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., came, to Miss Sioan a set of one coren exquisiely wrought fruit platters of goid, as solid and pure as it is safe to make such articles, The second most beautiful gold service ie a complete tea set of repousse gold, owned by Mrs. Chester Griswold, and Mrs. Will- iam Astor's set of six slender gold roee vases for ornamenting a banquet table come third on the list. Go far among the young rides, sumptuous as have been their wedding gifts, nothing hase surpassed the great candelabra to which Mrs, Loril- lard fell heir at her wedding, for the elab- orately wrought silver trunks, from which bramehed 18 arms, to hold % candies be- tween the pair, rose exactly to the level of the bride’s own head, and the workman- ship on these noble towere of light was es- timated as coating far more than the ma- terfal of the candelabra, had the siiver been absolutely without alloy. Mrs. Hartweil’s Siamese elephants of sil- ver, bearing the branched ‘candlesticks on their backs, i6 another notable plece of plate, and Mrs. John Hammond owns the prize pair of silver vases. They are tall enough to hide a man’s umbrella in thelr tapering waists, and measure » inches across the mouth: but the extent to which silver je given as bridal presents, as well as the lavisienean of the rich American, was proved at the wedding of Miss Brooks, when seven complete tea services, com- lete even to caddies, silver eockets for iding handieless Chinese cups and sugar cutters, were received.

The President has instructed the American Minister at Pek- ing “to use his good offices in all proper ways in behalf of the American-China Development Co. and to prevent spolia- ment. ' This American-China Company is allied with the British @nd Chinese Corporation, Limited. Bach party to the con- tract is bound to use its best endeavors to obtain the sup- port of its Government in the prosecution of their common purpose. That the American Company is carrying out its part in the bargain is made certain by the President's instructions #0 the Minister at Peking. These two companies are composed of great banking and Paliway interests which have gone into China “to open up the country to civilization.” Concessions have been obtained from Chinese officials and nothing is needed but the support of the two governments to make the enterprise a success. It is a transparent scherne of syndicate government. This company proposes to commit the United States to a policy of interference in the Far East, not for the public good, but. to insure the syndicators rich profits.

They will be followed by scores, hundreds— ultimately thousands. Soon the 3700 miles across the con- tinent will be little more than a pleasure trip. All this means that the American people have triumphed over nature as no people ever triumphed since the world be- gan. And it means that the 50 years we are just entering will see even greater triumphs. The automobile is the ful- fillment of the past, the promise of the future. John A. Brill, the street car builder, in Cassier’s Magazine, speaking of the “i@tal street car,” says that “it is the standing load that pays.” This meang that the strap pas- senger is the one out of whom street car magnates expect to make dividends on watered stock. No wonder there is a strong current of feeling toward municipal awnership of street railways. —— — ee i i CARNEGIE’S WISDOM. Mr. Andrew Curnegie’s letter to the Sunday Post-Dispatch is a comprehensive summing up of the situation in the Philip- pines, and a convincing forecast of the future. In one pregnant sentence the whole case is contained. “No 40,000 or 50,000 inen are likely to effectually establish our con- trol there by next June, for not the dispersing of the opposing army, but the cordial acceptance of our rule by the people must be obtained. Without this, victory is only defeat.” It could not be more plainly expressed. Victories which leave the people disaffected and rebellious in spirit are simply no victories at all. War will be chronic as long as the Fili- pinos aspire to independence. “There is no solution,” says Mr. Carnegie, “except that which makes the people friendly to us, and this can only be obtained by a promise of independence such as was given to Cuba.” This is the only solution because it is the only proposal founded upon honor, good faith and justice. The Philippine question will remain unsettled until it is settled right. A, i = ee “Why not add to the use of gold coin?” asks United States Treayuyer Roberts. Because the American people have be- com¢ accustomed to paper and like it. Paper money secured by coin is light and convenient and there is no loss from wear, as is the case with gold. California and Europe may use coin, but most of the United States will not, except in a subsidiary fcrm. — ———__ -—---- -0¢ The annexation of Canada would put an end to all her boundary disputes with us and we should have immediate free trade with her. As soon as we shall have exterminated our late allies, the Filipinos, it will be in order to possess ourselves of all] the British American possessions. We can do that without any hypocritical pretenses of humanity. =] = ~~ ee | 7 A railroad trust with an earning capacity of $4,600,818,328 above all expenses seems a possibility. The power of such a combine in elections and legislation can hardly be overesti- mated. A gréat railroad is now taking a prominent part in the Kentucky canvass for Governor and State officers. When harmony is so often difficult in a single household, it is easy for colonies like the Ruskin organization and its kind to be inharmonious. Man is discordant everywhere, unit- ing only to divide, but the brotherhood idea may yet triumph. We must “try, try again.”’ >> ~~ The masses of both parties should determine that any anti- trust plank in any political platform shall mean a cease- less fight against monopoly. Political tricksters ought not to be allowed to tamper with an issue of vital importance. = SS The people of St. Louis are not quite ready to pay the Muni- cipal Assembly an advance to $1800 a year for each member. Have all the franchises been boodled away, so that the income from briberies has been reduced? The great majority of our returning veterans declare that the Philippines are not worth fighting for. There are few countries, indeed, that are worth the shedding of blood neces- sary to ebtain them. To “arouse a sense of propriety” in an officeholder so far as to lead him to drop his job is no easy matter, as the President can testify. Something has to fall on the officeholder before he can understand. hihi When a watch ticking on a table in St. Louis can be heard at the end of a telephone wire in Cincinnati, it is time to congratulate ourselves upon our wonderful progress in com- munication. Seventy-seven millions of people in the United States in 1900 will make a great showing. If not too many of these shall be out of a job, it will be a very gratifying one. > _ = Perhaps our lawyer Secretary of War would help matters by writing an opinion that the Philippine war is all right and that it will presently be over. The State of lllinois might have wanted a lion hunter for United States Senator if Nimrod Tanner had not signed a bill giving away the streets of Chicago. p> i i An Administration, State or National, that has favors to grant, will always find some defenders, no matter how dis- reputable its practices may be. &+oso_-_- — In twelve months Russia is to have a railroad from ocean to ocean, and it may in time be put to much better use than the transportation of armies. As Alger was in consultation with the President every day, and on some days five or six times, which directed the other in the war mismanagement? The retiring Secretary of War could make a highly interest- ing annual report if he were willing to tell all he knows and were permitted to do so. hci '_——-_ St. Louls taxpayers are aware of what the Municipal As- sembly has done, as well as of the corrupt legislation at Jefferson City.

In his management of the bridge interests and the achieve- ment of these two great objects Dr. Taussig exhibited the highest sagacity and judgmeéent—a rare combination of wise conservatism and _ progressive energy and foresight which won him the confidence of the leaders of industry and finance and of all who appreciate the qualities necessary to combine vast and varied interests for the achievement of Such results.

His opinion, there- fore, which he gives to the St. Louis people through the Post-Dispatch is of the greatest weight. | Replying to your favor of the 20thinst., asking me for an expression | of opinion regarding the World's Fair, allow me to say that, setting aside all qhes- tions of public or private interests, it is clear to me that this community and all who take a pride in it, cannot afford to take any backward steps. We stand com- mitted before the country and the world to carry this undertaking to a successful issue, and its abandonment would expose us to the just charge of having started out with false pretensions, and of having been forced to retire with humbled pride and shattered reputation. There are many of my best friends whose public spirit and civic pride can- not be questioned, who doubted the wisdom of the undertaking, and who rested their doubts (not opposition, for I know of no active opposition) on the after- math experiences which Philadelphia and Chicago had resulting from the fatal collapses which usually follow overstrained inflations. There are good grounds for such fears, and the conservatism of those holding them is entitled to respect, nor should they, for that reason, be charged with want of local patriotism. the contrary, their warnings and misgivings may lead us into On examining. and avoiding the errors of other cities, and may tend to check the intense speculative spirit which is apt to run riot upon the chances of a great World’s Exposition. In my judgment, whatever may happen to individual speculators, the ulti- mate results of the fair will, if the enterprise be undertaken soberly, energetical- ly, and withal honestly, be of permanent benefit to St. Louis. Above all, no backward step, at the present stage of our snould be thought of. Respectiully, St. Louis, Jujy 20.

HIS MEETING WITH RAUCH, Jockey Guiteres Seys He Will Wipe Out His Recent Defeat at the Hands of Lines. CasperLeon, the champion bantam weight boxer of the world, came in from his train- ing quarters at Clayton Monday morning. He was accompanied by his trainer, Char- iey ‘Horan, and the two looked as brown as berries. “Leon never was in finer shape in his life,’ said Horan, “and if he doesn’t put {t all over Morris Rauch when they meet at the West End Club to-night I shall be badly mistaken. | “When “Leon went into the country he Weighed over 12% pounds.

When Lines and Guiteres last met they Went but six rounds and Lines was de- clared the winner. Guiteres’ friends thought that in a longer battle Guiteres would have won, and, just to please them, fines consented to another meeting with Guiteres, this time at ten, instead of six rounds. That the fur will fly in those ten rounds goes without saying. Up to noon to-day no referee had -been agreed on for the Rauch-Leon go, but it is more than likely that reliable Joe Stewart wili-officiate in that position.

George Siler, the well-known referee, wishes to deny the assertion made by sev- eral journals on the coast, which quote him as saying that he believes J@ Ken- nedy can beat Jim Jeffries. In the first place, Siler has never seen Kennedy per- form, and even if he had would not be like- ly to express an opinion on the subject.

The St. Louis clud played without an er- ror and at opportune moments hit the ball iike fiends. _Thé: way Powell pitched after the second inning and the support he received was enough to warm the heart of the coldest enthusiast. Jack is in his old-time form and with good support just now can outpitch any man in the League. Lave Cross pleased every one with his fast work at third base. In the fifth inning he made a catch of a foul Fy that was nothing ess than wonderful. ‘‘Littl Bowlegs’’ was not behind with his stick work and two pretty bungles are to his credit. Wallace was in the game again. Bobby played that same fast game that made him so popular with the local fans in the early part of this season. To him, too, be- longs a great share of the spoils which were secured Sunday, Burkett made a catch that was little less than wonderful. The reception he received can ‘be imagined.

The total value of the purses is $5100, and the entries comes from many States. Tues- day will witness the 2:40 trot, and 2:12 and 2:23 classes for the sidewheelers. The 2:12 acing class has 19 entries, including Susie from New York State, and other fast ones. Wednesday the trotters will have two.classes, 2:24 and 2:20, between which is sandwiched a 2:17 class for pacers. Thurs- day has a good card of four purses, the 2:16 trotting class, the 2:30 and 2:20 pacing classes, and the free-for-all pace. In this last there is a quantity of fast material, such as Miss Williams, Robert Wilkes, Ith- uriel, Bob Riley, Jesse C., and Tuty Wilkes ~-s'x horses, with records of 2:10 or better.

LOUIS. DISCUSS IT. BOTH OF A CONTRARY OPINION. | Most of the Grounds of the Proposed Organization Now in Shape and Ready for Occupancy. John T. Brush has started his official scorer at Cincinnati out after the scalps of the organizers of the new baseball league. In an interview the official scorer quotes Mr. Brush as saying: “The new league cannot succeed. “It will have to rent baseball grounds for 10 or ® years in each city, and build stands worth from $50,000 to $100,000. It would, according to Brush, take 82.- 000,000 to put the new league on a first-class footing. “That sort of talk will go,’ said George Schaefer, one of the organizers of the new club in St. Louis, ‘‘with people not up in baseball. “We have a 10-year lease of our grounds here at $1800 a year. As to the stands. By expending $10,000 on our present grounds and adding to our present stands we will have grounds that will compare with any in the league, and much handsomer than the stands here. “But in most of our cities the clubs al- ready have their own baseball grounds, while in others of them there are now grounds lying idle which can be had for the simple asking. ‘So, Mr. Brush’s tub won’t hold water a little bit, and his bluff will have as much effect on the buliding up of our organiza- ‘tion as the wind biowing over the Indian Territory.” | ‘Billy Brady seems to be stirring up the | boxers in England. Here is a statement he had pub.,ished in London Sporting Life a short tme ago: “W. A. Brady offers the following valua- ible purses to ‘be competed for by English boxers in America: “Two thousand ponuds—‘Pedlar’ Palmer to meet Terry McGovern. “One thousand pounds—Ben Jordan to meet ‘best American in his class. “One thousand pounds—Dick meet best American light weight. _ “Bight hundred pounds—Bobioy Dobbs to meet ank Erne. ‘‘Kight hundred pounds—‘Coffee Cooler’ to meet Tommy Ryan. ‘In addition to the prizes, all expenses to and from America to be paid. Accept- ances can be made through the. Sporting Life, or those desirous of further informa- tion had ‘better meet Mr. Brady at the Sporting Life office. In addition to those named above, applications for any other boxer with pretensions to champion form (any weight) can rely upon Mr. Brady mak- ing a fair offer, as he is anxious to give them a chance for fame and doliars, and will, moreover, guarantee all fair play.’’ There are some amusing features in the above. For instance, Brady offers 1000 pounds for Burge and America’s best light weight, and the next offer is 800 pounds for Dobbs and Erne, Now Erne is the best lignt weight in this poumney, and Burge is not by any means in the light weight class. JIM JEFFRIES’ PLANS. He Was in Chicago Sunday and He Unfolded Them There. CHICAGO, July 2%4.—Jim Jeffries, heavy- weight champion of the worli, accompanied by his brother, Jack, and Messrs. McCzuul and Neil of San Francisco, patsed through Chicago yesterday morning. The big Cali- fornian, whose mighty right hand wrested the title of king of ihe Jighters from Nob Fitzsimmons, arrived a. 7:40 o'clock and ap- peared to be in excellent health and tne best of spirits. ce has put on considerable flesh since his last appeaiun:e in this city, but the extra weight dil not seem tv in- cumber him any. Jiis siep was light and active and he swung a ponderous valise in his left hand with as much ease ay though it were a two-pound dumbbell. The cham- pion’s arrival and departure were not marked by any excitement. Only a few of the railway employes were aware ef the identity of the tall,broad-shouidered Her- cules who passed quietly along the station latform to a carriage. The public was in blissful ignorance of the fact tnat Ameri- ca’s new champion was in the city. It was just what Jeffries wanted. Me is a quiet fellow and averse to display of any kind. Indeed, his reserved manner and bashfulness in answering questions are more suggestive af a timid “sweet girl graduate’ than a man who has proven himself the foremost pugilist of to-day. His one regret appears to he that profes- sional engagements had hurried him away from the Pacific Coast in undue hrsie. “IT only had a couple of days at home,” he said, “and then had to pack up and get away again. Tihis traveling ground and showing at different towns is a good deal tougher work than fighting a couple of times a weck. Some people like it, but I don’t. Still, of course. it’s all in the line of business. I don’t know anything about this Jeffords and his defiance of me, that all the papers made so much of. One thing is certain—he has a clever press agent, who knows how to get his man notoriety. I made no offer to knock him out in four rounds, nor authorized anybody to make such a proposition, I sail from New York July 27 for England, where I am matched to box Charley Mitchell before the National Sporting Ciub, I am confident of beating the Britisher and don’t think he will give me much trouble. “As regards Jim Corbett’s challenge, why he can have his turn after I get through with what I have in hand already. If am successful in otiher matches, then Cor- bett can try his luck with me if he wants to. I care no more for him than any of the rest of them, as far as fighting is con- 6 apie Personally, of course, 1 respect nim. “While it is possible that I may meet Fitzsimmons again, I cannot say anything definite on that point. The matter rests entirely in the hands of my manager, William Brady, who is at present in Eng- land. “IT think I shall enjoy the ocean voyage. and that it will do me good; not that I am in need of recuperation of any kind, for I never felt better in my life, but simply be- cause a little relaxation on the ‘briny’ will seem pleasant, after all the traveling I have been doing during the last few weeks.”’ Jeffries and his party left at 8:30 a. m. for Toledo, where he will give a sparring exhibition with his brother, Jack. From there he will proceed to Cincinnati and Co- lumbus, showing for one night at each place, and will leave New York for Eng- land next Thursday. SCHAEFER POSTS A FORFEIT. Wants to Play Carver Cushion Caroms for Big Stakes. It may be that Eugene Carter, the billlard player, drew a bow ata nture when he issued a challenge to play any man in the world for $2800 a side at cushion caroms, or three-cushion caroms. And, again, it may be that he was “having a crack at’’ some one in particular without mentioning names, Whichever it was, the return has been quick, and the prospects seem bright for an exciting and interesting match in Chicago between two of the most skillful bililard country, for Carter’s open ought the following prompt tswhile champion and ever whose dexterity Burge to with bri a Carter's defy. to play a mate 2500 a side, @ oo Lines Written By Him Prove That He Was a Christian. LOVED HIS FELLOW MEN AND HELPED THE DISTRESSED. “We love our fellow-man, our kind, Wife, child and friend. To phantoms we are deaf and blind, But we extend The helping hand to the distressed; | By lifting others we are blessed.”’ The above lines written by the late Col. Robert Ingersoll, show his creed. They prove him a Christian in all that that word implies, no matter what others may say about him. But in other ways he proved himself a Christian. Once speaking of life, he said: “Life is a narrow vale between the nar- row peaks of ‘avo eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud, and the only answer is the echo of our wailing. “From the voiceless lips of the unreply- ing dead there comes no word; but in night Of death hope sees a star and listening love can hear ‘the rustle of a wing. “Let us believe, in spite of doubts and dogmas, and tears and fears, that these dear words are true of all the countless dead.”’ Of the world, too, Col. IngersoN thought ita pretty good Place. “But, mind you,” he said, “I wouldn’t care to live always. You get tired of every- thing after awhile.” “If you had the power of creation,” a minister once asked him, “could you im- prove the world?’ “Yes,” said the Colonel: “first of all I would make good health more contagious than sickness.” In fact, Col. Ingersoll believed that the health of the mind and the body should be cared for first amd the soul afterwards. And he was right. And in these days there is no cause nor reason why every man, woman and child should not look to their health and when ill obtain the very best of medical treatment for the simple ask- ing. In this city in fact there is a corps of trained and skillful physicians who give free treatment for one whole week to all persons, women, men or chiidren, who are afflicted in any way with deafnesss, catarrh or bronchial troubles of any kind, or with any of those diseases common to our peo- ple. This free week which they give to all is in reality a free week, there being no charges of any character whatsoever. Patients living at a distance from St. Louis and unable to come to the office may have the free week's treatment and medicines sent to them by writing for it. COPELAND MEDICAL INSTITUTE. DR. W.

National Committeeman From Neb- raska and Harvey Reassures Them. CHICAGO, July 24.—A signed statement by the Democratic National Committeeman from Col. W. J. Bryan’s home State. which has been issued says in part: ‘‘The meeting of the Democratic National Committee was a grand success. This call was made at the instance of the friends of bimetallism, and those friends controlled it throughout. There seemed to be some of the friends of our cause who had con- ceived the idea that the intention was to switch issues and leaders, as well as work- ers, a conclusion without the slightest foundation. No one who supported Bryan in '96 need fear that that cause will be abandoned or in any way hampered by the present committee. | “W. H.

The Philadelphia postman usually manages to deliver a letter, however deficient the address, but he had a bard nut to crack a day or two ago, whea he found in his batch of mail a small envelope seemingly directed to ‘‘A Good Mann, Rittenhouse Square.’’ After some hours of fruitless search he was forced to confess himself beaten, and the wa in him impelled him to return the letter wit the somewhat libelous indorsement, ‘‘No good man in Rittenhouse Square.’’ But the joke was ruined next day, for he then got the missive back with, “Try Blank Goodman, Blank Nineteenth gtreet,’’ and this proved to be the right address. ——ae SEE ty peer ee -ubien that one I'll On the large side-wheel steamer St. Paul every Tuesday and Thursday.

HEADS AND HANDS BROKEN OFF Hcles From Half an Inch to One Inch in Diameter Pitted Into the Art Works. ) CHICAGO, July 22.—Some one with an unnatural desire to destroy the beautiful has wrecked the fountain presented to the city by Lorado Taft and the pupils of the Art Institute. The fountain is located just south of tne institute on the Lake Front, away from the police patrols, so the per- son had all the opportunity he wanted dur- ing the night and early morning to carry out his designs on the figures of the nymphs. No one has escaped mutilation. In most cases the hands and feet of the figures have been shattered, while on the others the insane attacks appear to have been carried further. Arms and bosoms have been cracked and broken with some heavy weapon, and the center figures have suffered from the throat down. LEither a sharp-pointed cane or a hammer has been used to pit the figures with holes from half an inch to one inch in diameter and half an inch deep. The whole group is practical- ly ruined. The fountain was unveiled June 17, after Mr. Taft and his pupils had put in many months of hard labor upon it. “We had planned a surpr:se,"’ gaid Mr. Taft, ‘‘and thought it would be appreciated, The figures were made of staff, but some time I had hoped that they would be repro- . in bronze. at the Versailles garden in Paris one may see among the trees inanimate nymphs and naiads, and the effect is natural and pleasing. I will admit that it would be very naive for girls to bathe thus on the Lake Front, but our surreundings are the best that could be provided under the circum- stances. ‘The idea embodied here came to m@&jaaet summer at Bass Lake, but was undoubtedly suggested by recollections of these — sculptures. Why the figures should wrecked I do not understand. The police knew nothing about the mutiia- tions tintil one of the young women students who worked upon it went to them arg com- plained, in consequence word Was sent out that the perpetrators should be located and punished. In conection with the outrages, a quecd story was told by Michael Tyner and Aus- tin Niles, employes of the Illinois Central Railroad, who said that early one morning they noticed an aged man, poorly dressea, striking at one of the figures with a heavy stick and laughing. When they approached he fled north along Michigan avenue. “Me was a queer-looking old chap,” said Tyner yesterday, “and appeared to have some grudge against the statues. He wore spectacies, had gray hair, rather long, and a gray mustache, and looked more like a German than an American or an English- man. He wore an old. dirty hat and a long black coat and lighter trousers that had seen better days. He was talking to himself, and when we went toward him he saw us, and almost ran north on Michi- gan avenue, When we looked at the statue we found that its hands had been smashed.” The institute officials who saw the fig- ures, are furious. All of them were of the opinion that the pymphs would have 9 remodeled, and that the fountain w | be have to be closed in the meantime, veg ‘> oe 0g ® Cag, ¥ a | aon ann: . oC oa 4 @ st.

> OF DAISY MASON or en PES MS aS y + bee gyt tage 7” 7 ao - — Facts Were Suppressed at the ~ Coroner’s Office Six Days. NOW THEY COME TO LIGHT. PUBLICATION BY THE POST-DIS- - PATCH CAUSES GENERAL EXPLANATIONS. No Doubt But What Miss Mason Was Killed as Was Plossom New- comb—Report Made by Detectives. Facts concerning the death of Daisy Ma- eon, under suspicious circumstances, were suppressed by Coroner Lloyd six days. There is no knowing how much longer these facts would have been concealed had ft not been for the Post-Dispatch. As a re- guilt of the exclusive article concerning this gtrange case in Sunday’s Post-Dispatch @n inquiry into the cause of the young wo- man’s death will be made by a Coroner’s jury. Coroner Lloyd announced Monday that in a few days he would hold an inquest, and would make public all the evidence that he and the detectives who have been working on the case had gathered. As was told in Sunday’s Post-Dispatch, Miss Mason died at the Woman's Hospital, Sixteenth and Pine streets, July 17, and the Coroner and police were informed by De. J. G. Parrish that suspicious circumstances attended her aeet. It was claimed she s victim of malpractice. Gttes Mason was & years old and excep- tionally attractive. Her parents live in Min- eral Point, a sma!! town on the Iron Moun- *hin Railroad in Southern Missouri, but she Had resided in St. Louis several years, be- ing employed at Steinberg’s hat store on Worth Broadway. She roomed at Mrs. Ada Cott’s house, at 2704 Pine stréet, and was regarded as a quiet young woman, who observed all the proprieties. She had many admirers among the men, but it is said she never showed @ preference for any of them. Mrs. Cott says Miss Mason bade her good- by two weeks ago, saying she had decided to take a two weeks’ vacation and visit her mother. She left ostensibly for Union Sta- tion and Mrs. Cott says the next news of her she had was that she was dead. Mrs. Cott says he was not informed of Miss Mason's illness, although she was her best friend. She says the news of the young woman’s death was conveyed to her by an officer, who questioned her closely about Miss Mason's conduct. It was learned Monday morning that Miss Mason appeared at the home of Samuel Hoffman, 520 North Spring avenue, and en- @Baged board for an indefinite period about the «ime she left Mrs. Cott'’s house with the announcement that she was going to Southern Missouri to visit her mother. r. Hoffman says she was a stranger to his family, but, as her appearance was dg, she had no trouble in securing a room Tom him. She had been there about a Week, he says. when she informed kis wife she was sick and needed a physician. Dr. John G. Parrish, the Hoffman family doc- tor, Was called. He made a diagnosis and. Mr. Hoffman says, ordered Miss Mason to $0 to the City Hospital. Mr. Hoffman says she never appeared to be seriously ill, | aving and returnine to her room frequently without assistance. He *- can £:ive an accurate description of . They say his last call Was made about three days before Miss Mason left their house, and before Dr. Par- fish was called into the case. Miss Mason went to the Woman's Hospi- tal without assistance. She boarded an Olive street car alone and rode to S'xteenth Street, where she alighted and walked to the hospital. When she applied for admis- Sion, she gave her nameas‘‘Mrs. Smith.” and her address as Chicago. She died with- in 12 hours afte) was admitted. A postmortem examination was held and the body was Mineral Point for Burial. The death certificate read ‘‘perito- nitis.’’ Dr. Parrish she »* + merhiy aU would not discuss the case Monday. He dismissed questions by say- @ it was in the hands of the Coroner and his connection with it had closed, “I was called to see Miss Mason by tele- phone,’ he said. “She was a stranger to me and I rewarded mys if AS merely an emergency physician. I, therefore. made no inquiry into the history of the case, because it Was not my business to do so. 1 found her suffering with peritonitis and that wae What caused her death. “But.” he added ee ently, “many things cause periton- 8.

The narrowest pavement in the world Is said to be in St. Louis. Not in old Havana is there a walk of such dwarfed propor- tions. It extends south from Morgan street on the west side of Jefferson avenue. It is half a block long and only 18 _ inches wide. Threading the passes of the Alps may be more dangerous, Dut is not more diffi- cult than walking comfortably along this foothold of brick and mortar. A man of ordinary proportions or a woman with balloon sleeves simply cannot do it. If a IN THE WORLD.

That's how St. Louis o have the narrowest sidewalk in the what she had done and said she would go. She told Mrs. Hoffman that she had done no wrong and if there was a heaven she would surely go there, but she would tell nothing and the secret would die with her. ‘“‘Miss Mason was taken to the Woman's Hospital, where Dr. Parrish performed the operation of laparotomy. She died on the 17th. Dr. Parrish reported the facts to the Coroner and we did all we could.” M. J. Steinberg, by whom Miss Mason was employed, spoke of her Monday in terms of praise. “She was employed here as a saleswoman in the cloak and fur department,”’ he said, “and was a model of propriety. She was a favorite with customers and an excel- lent employe. She was punctual and at- tentive to business at all times. She was a pretty girl and had an excellent figure. ‘She left two weeks ago to-day for her summer vacation. She took the vacation earlier than usual, but no one thought any- thing of that.”’ THE SUMMER SHOW. ‘The Chimes of Normandy,” as we have come to known Planchette’s three-act op- era, ‘‘Bells of Corneville,’” was presented at Uhrig'’s Cave last night, and will run through the week. It is tuneful, and un- folds enough of a story to entertain those who want their music strung on a tangible thread of romance. Serpolette, the good- for-nothing,is considered the strongest fem'- nine part in the opera, and the prima donna takes it provided she has any tendency whatever to inject a bit of hoydenish spirit into her work. Germaine, the good little girl and real marahioness, is usually pic- tured as a maid of cloying sweetness and inane propriety. It is different at the Cave this week. Gertrude Lodge is playing Serpolette and Maud Lillian Berri is giving us a Ger- maine very different from the namby-“ pamby, be-good-and-you’]l-be-happy-but- won't-have-a-good-time little girl that we are accustomed tc She invests the char- acter with a vivacity and grace which the writer has rarely seen in it. The music of the pase has been altered to suit her and she interpolates a solo in the third act. As a consequence, Germaine is a much more striking character than she usually is. Miss Lodge acts the part of Serpolette well. Her voice is not equal! to all the exigencies of the original score, but it has been altered 80 that she gets through with it effectively, and her intelligent acting fully compen- sates for her vocal weakness. If her inter- pretation of the character of the good-for- nothing has a flaw it is that she makes it too amiable. She dresses the part with marked taste and looks sweet and eighteen- ly in a blonde wig. Mr. Hawley is a fine, manly Marquis, and Mr. Stephens is con- spicuously good as Grenisbeaux.. The Gas- pard of ‘Mr. Steigers is so studiously hor- rible that it is unreal. The second act is marred by the fact that the armor in which Grenisbeaux hides is not large enough to conceal one-third of Mr. Stephens’ portly person. Hughey Dougherty, Dave Montgomery, Fred Warren and Al Blanchard are the funmakers in the first part at the Suburban Garden this week, and Dan Quinlan sits in the middle. Dougherty hegan his engage- ment Sunday. His forte is saving funny things that have a local flavor. Although he only arrived tn St. Louis Saturday night he showed a wonderful familiarity with local conditions. Alfter the first part, Lina and Nani, brother and sister, go through a series of wonderful gymnastic evolutions. Montgomery and Stone follow with songs. dances and funmaking; Hughey Dougherty talks to the audience and Dixon, Bowers and Dixon make people laugh with their “Rube” specialty. The afterpiece this week is called ‘““The Coal-Heaver’s Revenge.” Josephine Sahel, her winsome emile. her Vivacious manner, ‘her beautiful French gowns and her dashing new French dittles. first of which is ‘‘Le Beau (Chef de la Mu- sique,”’ is the big feature at Forest Park Highlands this week. She was as happy as a lark over her reception Sunday, and kissed her hands a dozen times to the au- dience, who wouldn't let her go from the stage. Mazuzz and Mazett, in what is called on the programme ‘a baggage car act,”’ do some wonderful tumbling.
