Without a hymn, without a prayer, Wi ths out a word other than his own words, the — friends of the great agnostic, bade Rf farewell. Never was there a stranger, si pler, sadder funeral, =. Up here on those mighty hills that i look the Hudson he loved so well the las rites were said. It was as he himself would ~ ‘have had them—not one word of hope oF ~ one supplication for consolation from @i high. egies: It could hardly be called a funeral. The trappings of death were strangely absent. There were no solemn-visaged undertakers assistants, 60 briskly busy in the face of gr-ef. There were no streamers of crape, no coffin, candies. There were neither priests nor clergymen—not even crape On the door. No one said a word that had not been said before; the creed, the oration, the poem, were words of his own, spoken at the biers of others or written by him when death was the last thing thought of, od But human agony was there. There were — three women, hopeless in the face of hepe — —the widow and the two daughters, Nos a word was said to comfort them, Who could it to the:r unbelief? They gave thems ~ | selves up to thelr woe—to them death was the end of all. The woman in them had triumphed for once over what they be- lieved was reason. They wept as other women weep who have hope for a hereaie ter, " # First Time to Face Death. It was the first time that the supreme =~ lest had been put to their unbelef—the fae ther, the mother, both daughters, the two erandcniucren—ali had lived, The family had never been calied upon to give Up @ of their number before.

Great wreaths and bunches of flowers, rossed palms and funeral tokens lay all ground. They were banked high around © dead man and heaped on the mantel ghelf beneath which stood his bier. His ead was pillowed in a great mass of pink Sweet peas; on the white linen sheet over tis breast lay one great red rose. ' He leoked not dead, but sleeping. The eyes were calmly closed and the cheeks full and ruddy as they were in life. There were no seate for the guests: only a chair for the widow with another for Mrs. wn beside her, and a third for Mrs. l, the widow's sister. Miss Maude \ Ingersoll sat on the sofa with two girl . prveade to hold her hand and weep with ® ther. Everybody else stood anc waited ’ @ave Charlies Rroadway Rousse, the blind ‘g@illionaire and agnostic, who wae led, etumblingiv and in silence, to a chair be- eide the bier. The room was .-all in darkness: only a few bars of lisht stragglied in through the half-opened blinds. For full five minutes every one stood there, silent, gazing at the Gead. Then Prof. John Clark Ridpath, a great friend of the dead man, etepped for- Z: ey and took his place at the head of the x? er The widow and her daughters buried their .¥ faces in their handkerchiefs and wept soft- “ely. Prof Ridpath gazed silently at them ; or a moment. Then he looked up.

In- gersoll.”’ Then he began reading the beautiful, sad, hopeful “Declaration of the Free,.”’ pub- lished but on June 8 last. It summed up Col. Ingersoll’s belief in this world and what lies beyond. It was published in full in the Post-Dispatch last Saturday, the day after Col. Ingersoll’s death. It began: We have no falsehoods to defend— We wants the facts; Our force, our thought, we do not spend In vain attacks. And we will never meanly try To save some fair and pleasing lie. Men were weeping now as Prof. Ridpath ad softly and slowly the simple words of he great agnostic. e love our fellow-man, our kind, Wife, child and friend! te read, and Mrs. Ingersoll and her daugh- ers wept piteously and long—it was what i, © great agnostic had been to them—a » toving husband and a loving father. Then _ ©€ame the end: Is there beyond the silent night An endless day? Is Geath a door that leads to light? We cannot say. The tongueless secret locked in fate We do not know. We hope and wait. » . But the widow shook her head—she had » Mo hope. And her daughters looked at her \y With stony eyes; they, too, were hopeless ~in the face of these words of hope spoken by the dead. They could not believe. Just a slight pause and then Maj. Orlan- do J. Smith, neighbor and friend, stepped to the head of the bier as Prof. Ridpath retired to his place in the little circle of _ mourners. He held in his hand a pamphlet. » There were no words of h's own, nothing » Dut the simple announcement: ‘“‘My Relig- * fon; by Col. Robert G. Ingersoll.” mrery body was weeping now, as Maj. , Smith began the sweetly solemn words that /™ade a creed for the great agnostic and f many who followed him. It was very short: .S © love justice, to long for the right, to 4 } 1 , to pity the suffering, to assist Ba 1 , to forget wrongs and remember ' benefits, to love the truth, to be sincere, to love liberty, to to utter honest words, Wage relenticss war against slavery in all its forms. to love wife and child and friend, to make a happy home, to love the beaut!- fal in art, tn nature, to cultivate the mind, to be familiar with the mighty thoughts that genius has expressed, the noble deeds of ali the world, to cultivate courage and cheerfuloess; to make others happy, to fill life with the splendor of generous acts, the Warmth of loving words, to discard error, to destroy prejudice, to receive new truths with gia ness, to cultivate hope, to see the ealm beyond the storm, the dawn beyond the Bight, to do the best that can be doue and then be resigned—this is the religion f reason, the creed of science. This satis- es the brain and heart. Sun Shone on the Dead. Again when the reader reached the words, ““To love wife and child and friend.” ere was another soft burst of weeping. ere was no one there who could not be included in wife, child and friend. But there Was little left now. Dr. John L. Elliott, as- Sistant to Dr. Felix Adler, and a great friend of the dead, stepped forward and stood at the head of the bier. The sun had ust Durst out from behind a rain-laden cloud and shone full in through the halt- wpenes blinds—it fell full on the face of the ea “Two decades ago,” said Dr. Eliott. “Co!

Its face bears the following inscription: L’Urne Garde La Poussierre Le Coeur Le Souvenir. is: “This urn heart and the The translation of this the dust, the memory.” ° The back of the urn is ornamented with the simple inscription: Prior to the incineration Sculptor Bar- nard, who took the death mask of Col. Irgersoll, had been commissioned to find an urn forthe ashes, He went to Tiffany's and found one that had just been tmport- ed from Paris. Mrs. Farre] and Mrs. Brown inspected it and pronounced it sat- isfactory. After the cremation of the body Mr. Brown carried the urn to a carriage, placed it on the seat, where flowers that had been in the coffin had been previously ar- ranged. Mrs. Ingersoll sat beside it on the way to the depot, and it remained near her until it was deposited in the house of her daughter, where the ashes wil] remain for the present. WISCONSIN.

WILL ROOT SUCCEED? ‘Opinions of Ex-Cabinet Members Pres- ented Through the Post-Dispatch. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, July 29.—Through World and Post-Dispatch Washington reau, ex-Cabinet officers were asked following question, as to chance of Elihu Root’s success: Is a man without military training, w:th- out administrative experience and without proved executive capacity likely to succeed as Secretary of War in the actual conduct of a foreign war? Ex-Secretaries Carlisle, Miller and La- mont all asked to be excused from express- ing themselves. Like ex-Secretary Olney, the two other distinguished lawyers who have been Cabi- net officers believe that ‘‘an able lawyer is fit for any place.’’ The replies received follow: CINCINNATI, O., July 29.—Answering your question, think a first-class lawyer of wide experience can do anything weil in JUDSON HARMON, Attorney General in Cleveland's Cabinet. FOSTORIA, O., July 29.—I do not believe it essential for the Secretary of War in time of war to have had military training. CHARLDBDS FOSTDR, Secretary of the Treasury in Harrison’s Cabinet.

ROBERT T, LINCOLN, Secretary of War in Garfield’s and Arthur’s Cabinets. LEXINGTON, Va., July 29.—I do not be- lieve it essential for the Secretary of War in time of war to have had military ex- perience or training. It is more apt to be dangerous than helpful.

WILL NEVER “WEAR A LABEL.” HE STANDS, HE SAYS, FOR ALL THE PEOPLE AND IS FREE. Both the Republican and Democratic Parties Are Roughly Criticised in the Announcement of the Cleveland Mayor. TOLEDO, O., July 29.—Mayor Jones to-day gave the following open letter to the people of Ohio explaining his position as an inde- pendent candidate for Governor: “I believe in all of the people and am therefore a man without a party. 1 be- lieve in the people as people, not as partl- sans, not as Demccrats, not as Republicans, not as Populists or Prohibitionists or Union | Reformers, but as people, as men, 4s brothers and sisters, having common in- stincts, common interests and common needs. This is what I mean when 1 de- clare for equal opportunities for all. “Believing this to be a fundational truth I, therefore, declare that I will never again wear the label of any party or claim politi- cal loyalty to anything less than all of the people. “In this way I shall always be free tovote and act for principles. The whole people shall always have the first claim on my service and affection, rather than a frag- ment of them named a political party. “There are many indications that the present is the time for an independent po- litical campaign of education in Ohio, June 10 the Republican convention met in Colum- bus and named a ticket that many thought was practically arranged by two men, the peopel having no cHoice in the matter. The same day a convention of workingmen, representing all parts of Ohio, was held in Columbus. These workingmen formulated a platform setting forth the relief they hope for and demand through political action. Every demand of their platform is strictly in the line of progress, and no candidate for office who does not believe in the principles therein set forth should lay any claim to the votes of the workingmen of Ohio, The Republican convention ignored the de- mands of the convention of workingmen; ignored even their presence in the city. “Not long after the Democratic State Committee met to arrange the date for the State convention and its action was worse, if possible, than that of the Republicans. Realizing that there was a strong sentl- ment in the State for independent political action they set the date of the convention so late that it would be impossible to get an independent ticket into the field after the Democratic convention, their purpose evidently being to compel the people to chose between the two old parties. “In view of this situation, I announce that for the purpose of testing the quality and extent of the sentiment for an inde- pendent candidate, I invite those who feel that such a move should be made to write to me for biank petitions of correct legal form upon which to secure signatures, pe- titioning the Secretary of State to place my name upon the ticket.”’ “By responses to this letter we shall be able to decide whether the sentiment is sufficiently pronounced to warrant so great an undertaking. If the decision shall be affirmative I wll enter upon the duties of the campaign in the interest of a larger humanity, wholly indifferent to the con- sequences to me personally. “SAMUBL M. JONBS.” THE RICHES OF MARK HANNA. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE, feat of financiering cost him and the other ‘‘trustees”’ of McK nley’s estate, neither will he affirm nor deny whether the “syndicate’’ scaled the claims W per cent, as has been stated, It is urged by Mr. Hanna’s friends that there has never been a strike for which he Was responsible in any of the properties in which he ix interested. His friends, including President McKin- ley, have long urged him to retire from ecitve business, and his illness last winter convinced him that he could well afford to retire at 62. It is annoutyced that he will retain his holdings in the industrial eniter- prises of Cleveland and his coal] interests, Senator Hanna is expected to return to Oleveland in September to arrange for the transfer of his interest in Hanna & Co. tod his brothers, his son, Dan, who is a very ood business man, and persons who have een identified with the firm since its es- tablishment, 24 years ago. The Senator is accompanied by his wife and family in his European pilgrimage in search of health. The Senator is not ostentatious in his charity. Just before he went to Europe a friend wanted him to permit the use of his name for a charitable purpose. ‘‘No, but I'll subscribe $100,’ said the Senator. “I don’t want it Known. Those fellows who think I’m a brute will say I’m playing to the galleries. I don’t care what they think so long as people who know me think otherwise.’’ Mr. Hanna’s friends, who are mainly re- sponsible for this favorable view of hig character, believe that he will spend the leisure which they think he has so wel] earned in playing politics, which to him is ajrecreation. OHIO MEN IN LONDON. They Carry Their Political Schemes Across the Ocean. LONDON, July 2.—The simultaneous presence in London of Congressman C. H. Grosvenor and T. HE. Burton and H. A. Garfield, coupled with the announcement that United States Senator Hanna wil! soon arrive here, is believed to indicate the pos- sibility of an important Ohio political con- ference here next week. Horace L. Chap- man, who was the Democratic candidate for Governor in Ohio in 1897 and who is just closing a Huropean tour, tells the cor- respondent here of the Associated Press that, despite the action of h.s friends, he will not be a candidate before the Ohio Democratic Convention in the autumn. Mr. Chapman thinks John R. McLean of Cin- cinnati will be the nominee. Mr. Chapman says that, with the riots jn Cleveland and dissatisfaction gr cog, the war in the Philippines, this looks like a Democratic year. GYPSIES ELECT A QUEEN Famous Harrison Tribe Will Choose a Successor to Snake Mary, 90 Years Old NEW YORK, July 2.—The Harrison fam- ily of gypsies, the most numerous and pow- erful in this country, will hold a conven- tion at Plainfield, N. J., to-day to choose @ successor to Snake Mary, the present queen. Mary is now % years old, but is as spry and active as @ woman of 3%. Who her successor will be is not known, but the four families on the ground appear to favor Laure! Harrison. Laurel is now 16 years of age and by far the best-looking girl in the four families. She is to be elected, if her supporters have their way, 48 A sort of crown pr-ncess, who will take full pow- ers upon the death of the present queen. Snake Mary says she is willing to abdicate if that should be the wish of her subjects, but the four families now at the meeting place favor her remaining in power until she dies.

ANDERSON, Ind., July 29.—Men of the Indiana gas belt are becoming bald. Phy- sicians who have been Investigating find that a new form of “‘hair ecurvy”’ is sweep- ing. the entire section. At first it was thought it was a disease of the scalp, which had become locally epidemic, but in- vestigations made in the last 10 days and covering the entire territory lead to the belief that it is due to the action of natural gas vapor, now passing through a notice- able evolution. The investigation has reached over the rincipal cities, and it is claimed that fully $0 per cent of the young men of the section are becoming bald. Halg dressers claim it is also beginning to be noticed upon the women, and there is a rush for hair tonics/ and restoratives. For the past year ‘‘tou- pee’ men have been doing a good business with the men. It is found that, as a gen- eral thing, the men are losing their fore- locks first and from that it runs back. This is accounted for on the ground that, as a general thing, men tilt their hats on ‘he back part of their heads and expose the front hair to the action of the vapor. This idea is strengthened by finding that, as a general thing, men who habitually'| remove their hats when in their offices are| first being affected on the crown of the! head instead of in front. There has been a very noticeable change in the burning of| the natural gas. At first it was free from smoke and was perfectly dry. Stoves were not even needed, as there was no dis- coloring of paper from the burning of the as from the pipe, Within the last year, cowover, it has given off a noticeable emoke and an oil vapor which can be found accumulated and centered in great drops on most bells hanging over lights. It is claimed that this soot and half- burnt crude oil do the work. WELCOMED TO NEW YORK. Gov. Roosevelt’s Secretary Bears a Formal Letter to President McKinley. PLATTSBURG, N. Y., July 29.—President McKinley’s first caller this morning was George Curtis Treadwell, Gov. Roosevelt's secretary, who bore a message from the Governor bidding the President welcome to the State. The President spent most of the forenoon reading papers. Mrs. McKin- ley was feeling stronger than she did yes- terday. After luncheon a two-seated car- riage was brought up, with a driver, and the President and his wife took a short drive around the hotel grounds.

He had pro- ceeded about 60 feet and had come into one of the patches of light when out from the darkness ahead a pistol was thrust toward him, a rough hand clutched the weapon and behind it the figure of a squarely built man with a slouch hat pulled down in front took shape; a voice issuing from the vague figure commanded with Oaths and obsecnity: ‘*T’row up yer hands!’’ Mr. Scott halted abruptly, mechanically. But he did not throw up his hands. Quick as a flash he raised his umbrella and brought it down with a resounding whack on the slouch hat. Simultaneously the pisto)] flashed, dazzling Scott.

He was helped into the car, which was started and run at full speed to Waterman avenue.

The Twenty-first was stationed at Platts- burg Barracks two years ago, while the President was here.

A year or sv ago he shot and killed David Shelby on the courthouse steps at Marshfiletd, Webster County. Slayer and slain were each prominent citi- gens of their county. They were neighbors, living on adjoining farms a few miles from Marshfield. They were leadérs in the same rural church. To this pair the preacher delegated the task of passing the contribu- tion vox. There was a discrepancy in the receipts. One accused the Other. This started a feud. Kessee had political !nfiu- ence, as farmer influence goes in an interior agricultural county. So had Shelby. From an unfortunate petty disagreement it was but a step to a serious feud. Kessee and Phelby met at the Marshfield courthouse apparently by accident one day. There was a quarrel. Conflicting stories are on record as to the exact circumstances but at the end of the quarrel Shelby was stretched out in the courthouse yard dea. A bullet from Kessee's pisto! had killed him. Kessee was lodged in the Marshfield jail, but Shelby’s friends—the neighborhood 1ad taken sides in the feud—muttered threats and Kessee was brought to Spring- field for aafe keeping. Kessee's wife had been dead sever years, and at the time of the murder he was engaged to marry a Webster County woman. He offered to release her from the engagement. She said: “No; now that you are in trouble, I will be all the more faithful to ru. So while Kessee waa in jail here, prior to his trial, he sent for his effianced. She responded. The Sheri‘f vermittod him to leave his cell under a neavy guard. Kes- see stood on the courthouse valcony and was married. That evening the bride re- turned to the Kessee homs in Webraer County and took charge of the nouseho!d that was deprived of 4 moaner by deain and a father by imorisonment.

LONDON, July 29.—The inrush of Amer- icans is unabated, and they are to be seen everywhere. They are lavish purchasers Of everything that strikes their fancy. Shop- keepers say this is the best American sea- son since the fimancia! panic of 1893, and de- clare that the new customs regulations seem not to affect purchases, and the sign, conspicuous in many shop windows, ‘Prices made to meet the American tariff,”’ is ap- parently superfluous. This is particularly true as regards art and curlo dealers, who say that Americans no longer ask the price of an article, but purchase the most ex- pensive objects they display. BOYCOTT IS A STRINGENT ONE. Merchants and Professional Men Feel the Power of the Cleveland Strikers. CLEVELAND, O., July 29.—Although or- has been practically restored within the city the street rallroad strike has re- solved itself into a general boycott of the Big Consolidated Company, and everybody who rides upon its cars. Apparently the strikers have the sympathy and active co- operation of all the labor organizations in the city, and not only are merchants be- ing punished for riding on the tabooed cars but they are warned against selling goods to other people who do ride, on threat of losing the trade of union men. Instances are given in which druggists have refused to se.l medicines to people who were ac- cused of patronizing the Big Consolidated road, and physicians have been boycoited for riding on the cars while going to see their patients. The boycott is most severe on the small dealers who do business on streets that are populated largely by union men and ther sympathizers. A number of these mer- chants have published advertisements to- day, offering rewards ranging from $2 to $500 for rellable evidence that they or any of their clerks or relatives have ridden on the cars since the strike began, and a number of communications have been sent to the paper by physicians, grocers, butch- ers and others, protesting their innocence of the charge of having patronized the rai.road company. ‘As yet the large retail merchants have not felt the effects of the boyeott severely, although it is said some of them have been requested to forbid their c.erks to ride on the boycotted line. Thousands of workingmen are going to and from their homes in busses of every kind and description, from huckster’s wag- ons to tally-hoes, and in certain sections of the city the cars run with few passengers. Gen, Axline says the boycott and the threat of certain employers to put on the biackiist those employes who turned out with the militia are covered by law, and he threatens to institute prosecutions against dealers if the boycott is continued. The police have begun to deal with the der socialism. The Diet passed a law a year ago, called by the press the Arons law, —- it impossible for the government: to proceed against and dismiss socialist _@»- fessors. Under this the | see uae aes fuc- ulty a week ago tried rof. Arons and unanimously declared that they saw no oc- casion to take action. The State’s Attor- ney appealed the case to the Ministry, who, it is regarded as certain, will dis- miss Prof. Arons. The papers of all parties discuss the case at great length. The Pan-Germanic Deutsche Zeitung says the faculty of Ber- lin University has shown the same inca- pacity for consideration of State affairs that was shown by sesome professors in treating the Danish question last year. The Kreuz Zeitung reproaches the faculty with holding that Social Democrats should be treated upon an equal footing with other parties, and formulates the attitude of the Conservatives as fol.ows: “It is impossible to treat a party that declares war upon the State and the exist- ing social order as having the game po- litical rights as other parties.’’ The Dresdener Nachricten re-echoes thig sentiment, declaring that the idea of po- litical equality for Socialists is against public welfare, and hence it is the duty of judges everywhere to take into account this fact in the administration of justice. The Liberal papers side with the faculty, holding that their decision was the only one consistent with the freedom of uni- versity instruction.. The Centrist press de- fends the faculty on the ground that Prof. Arons, as Professor of Physics, does not ar the question of Socialism in hig lec- ures. STRANGER ABDUCTS A ‘GIRL Three Hundred Men With Blood- hounds Are in Pursuit of the Criminal. ROCHESTER, Ind., July 29.—One week ago Sheriff Feltz of this county received notice from Michigan warning him to look out for a stranger headed this way with a buggy believed to have been stolen. About the same time an unknown man stopped at the farmhouse of Wiliiam Berger, south- west of this city, representing that he wanted to employ a girl to work on his farm near this city. Miss Nellie Berger agreed to accompany him and the two drove off together. Failing in a day or two to hear of their daughter, the parents be- gan making inquiries, and they discovered that there was no such farm as described by the stranger, and that he had driven in an opposite direction, abandoning the horse and buggy at Illion, in Marshall ‘County, after which the girl and man both disappeared. Last evening a man supposed to be the abductor was seen in the timber eight miles from this city by some berry pickers. A girl was with him and evidently made an effort to escape to the women. The man used such violent language that they were frightened away. By daylight this morning 300 men were patrolling the road surrounding the timber, which is 400 acres in extent, along the banks of the Tippe- canoe River. loodhounds have been se- cured and a careful search is being made.

The Prince of Waies was a guest last week, and Sunday afternoon two card ta- bles were taken out on the lawn, which is visible from the high road, and the duchess and her guests played until dinner, The party was so intent on the games, begin- | ning with bridge whist and finishing with poker, that nobody apparently was aware | of the shocked attention the unsalbbath- | A PERFECT o.* (1 ‘ “a ; . ii ; ‘ \ Oe ee ‘ ® hte “)'h et. “ watchs Mee ‘ ° | OR i al eae pelt | 89 ay ; a ‘A hi - sgh tinh: 9 /d oS Le ' iy cr ett, ’ Pt taal % "a : Years men, Dut been an onward march of Science in ever lighten man’s labor seems to have become in this direction -has Science advanced; mental nature it has kept up an onward ELECTRIC BELT. the fact that the world moved was disputed b cience soon demonstrated ‘‘she moves.’ Since then there has our greatest direction.

I had stationed in the rear end room six men and a Ser- geant with drawn bayonets. When I no- ticed a disposition on the part of the miners to remain I ordered my men to clear the hall, which they did. Later several small crowds ey in the street which I also dispersed.

The Highwayman Who Held Up Mr. Obergoener of St. Louis. Special to the Post-Dispatch. RED BUD, Il, July 29.—The highwayman who held up and attempted to rob Fred Obergoener, a traveling salesman of St. Louis, three miles south of here, was seen in the Okaw bottoms this morning, where he has been in hiding since the hold-up. A possee will be organized and a search of the woods made. He is supposed to be the same man who held up and robbed two men the evening before six miles west of here. — Men do not like to go to doctors. Nine times out of ten they wait until they are laid flat on their backs before they will consult a physician. There is some reason in this, for when a business man feels out of sorts and goes to a physician, he is often given violent drugs that make him, for a time, unfit for business and really sick. There is a way of avoiding both extremes —that of neglecting the health and that of taking violent drugs that rack the entire system—it is always to keep on hand a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery. If a man will resort to this great medicine whenever he feels that he is out of sorts and threatened with illness, he may keep in good health. It is the great appetite sharpener, blood-maker and fiesh- builder. It fills the arteries with the rich, red, tissue-building blood of health. It does not make flabby fat like cod liver oil, but the solid, muscular and nerve tissues of health. It does not make corpulent peo- ple more corpulent. ‘Tl want to inform you ofa cure effected by Dr. Pierce's medicines,’’ writes Mrs. Nelson Smith, rson Co., Ills. “ About ending with bronchitis e spring of 1896 my con- I had consumption d I could not get to see me die, and Dr. Pierce’s medi- and bought ; Discovery’ and ‘ Favorite »” ing these medicines, found I was receivi efit and continued.

EW SOLDIERS THERE NOW AND THEY ARE GOING. THE POST ABOUT DESERTED. two Cavalry Troops Ordered Away, but Soldiers From Ft. Leavenworth Are Expected Here Shortly. Jefferson Barracks is becoming more and more deserted every day. From the busy Place it was a short time ago, when the soldiers here numbered in the thousands, it has become dull and lifeless, with mere- ly a handful of troops to maintain its sem- Diance to an army post. And even this condition will be changed with the de- parture of Troops G and K of.the Third Cavalry this week, which will remove every regular, leaving it entirely devoid of sol- diery except for the few recruits who are sent there to await orders. The officers, too, will go, the only dine officers who will remain being Lieuts, Reem and Partelle, on special duty here, who will also go shortly to join their regiments. A half troop of cavalry will be sent from Fort Leavenworth, Kas., to police the reserva- tlon and protect the valuable property thereof. The officer in command of the de- tachment will also be in command of the Barracks, as he will be the sole line officer on the ground. The last order of the War Department makes Seattle, Wash., the rendezvous for eight troops of the Third Cavalry. From there they will sail for Manila, accompanied by their horses and complete equipment, on August 12. This is the first instance where cavalry bound for Philippine service carry their horses on the same ship with them. Troop K, under Capt. George Hunter, is one of the fortunate eight to go, while froop G, Capt. Hardy commanding, is or- dered to Fort Myers, Va., with Troops B, I and H. These four will remain in this country, the colors of the old Third being supported abroad by A, C, D, E, F, L and M, in addition to K. This last troop has been at Jefferson Bar- racks for so long a time that it is consid- ered more or less a St. Lou-s institution. For four years, interrupted by a brief stay at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., it has been on duty at the St. Louis post, and its ranks are well filed with the sons of this city. It is minus the service of a First Lieu- tenant, the vacancy caused by the resigna- tlon of the last incumbent hav.ng not, as yet, been filled. Lieut. Morrison is the juni- or officer of the troop, The men are eager for the Manila trip, and already the preparations are com- pefe- The troop will leave Friday, August , direct for the point of embarkation. The ‘rookies of the troop are wild w.th the idea of seeing active service, and it takes ail the wisdom of long service on the part of the “old ‘uns’ to curb their flery ar- dor. The company roster is full to the limits, and each man of the number is thoroughly well equipped for the work that lies before him. The various Mulvaneys have whipped the ‘“‘new beginners’’ into such shape that. on parade, the troop pre- gents an unexcelled appearance, the drill being equal to the exhibit:on work of any of tne crack squads, Naturally, the men of G troop are a bit sore at the good luck of their fellows of K, but all they can do, as a grigzied old Sergeant remarked, ‘Is to purtend we don't Want to go. nohow.” At worst, they're still getting a change, which is always relished by “Johnny.” Officers’ row is sadly forlorn these days. The large majority of the few families still left are in the throes of packing-up for -~ the remoyal and the rows of empty houses with blank windows look, for the world, like a deserted village. With Troop G will go Capt. Hardy and Becond Lieut. Ordway, First ‘Lieut. An- drews being on detached duty at West Point. This, as said, will leave enly two Hne officers in camp, Lieut. Reems of the irst Infantry and Lieut. Parlette of the Fifth Infantry. Both these men have been at the Barracks since May in charee of the recruits, a large number of whom they expected to take w'th them to Cuba, where their regiments are, and whither they ex- pect to go within the next two weeks. But they will probably go aione, for the rookies are too veliuable for Cuba service, and are being gobbled up for the shart regiments in the Philippines. Besides these two of- ficers there will be left only staff officers, who, of course. never command. ai post. Maj. Girard, the surgeon, and Capt. Allen of the quartermaster’s department, are two who will remain. a THEY MAY DROP THE PARADE _- oe--- -—- South Broadway Merchants Will Prob- ably Arrange a Celebration on New Lines.

The wealth of the famous Count of Monte Cristo would seem like abject poverty com- pared to the riches which surrounded Gra- ham, the slumbrous hero of H. G. Wells’ marvelous romance, ‘‘When the Sleeper Wakes.’ Graham goes to sleep with only a moderate fortune end wskes owner of the world. But this sleep of his enduréd 203 years, and many things may happen in that time, Graham, falling asleep at the end of the nineteenth century, wakes up in the twenty- second. During hig slumbers several enor- mously wealthy men have died, bequeath- ing him their vast fortunes. By means of compound interest and lucky investments this legacy has graduaily become the great- est money power in existence and its sieep- ing owner ts rich beyond comparison. But there are other people to reckon with, as Graham soon finds out in his peril. Ostrog and He.en, for instance—but c.here ia no need in spoiling a thrilling story by telling its piot in advance, It is enough to gay that Graham awakens into a world as much unlike the present day civilization az ihe Appian Way of ancient Rome was unlike the Broadway of modern times. The countryside has vanished; sucked into the flerce vortex of great cilies. Horses. ard even automobiles, have disappeared, supplanted by airships. Not c:umsy bal- loons, but airships that are 9 easily man- aged as is the bicycle of to-day. Books and newspapers, too, have suc- cumbed, and a girange invention usurpe their places. The very peop.e have chang. d, their hearts, ambitions and thoughts being utterly different from ours.

A GREAT DAYS — FISHING Judge Charlies EH. Peers Tells a Story That He Says Is True of Luck at Mackinac. Judge Charies E. Peers of Warrenton, Mo., is the author of the latest fish etory. He called at the Federal building yester- day fresh from a summer sojourn at Mack- inac Island. He was “feeling fine,"’ he said, and when some one ventured a remark on his improved appearance he smiled and said: plenty of outdoor exerctse. Most of my time, though, Was passed in fishing and I tell re there ig no sport like it In the world,”’ “You had good luck, then?’ tnterposed United States Commissioner Gray. The veteran jurist chuckled. ‘{ went out on the lakes ever) day,” he said, ‘rain or shine. One afternon I jumped into a boat and went to a place calied Che- noux Island. Nobody was with mé, mind you, and this is what happened. The first fellow on my hook was a fine seven-pound muscalonge. In seven minutes I caught seven of his companions. Each we:.ghed eight or nine pounds,”’ "Whew!" exclaimed District Attorney Morsey, and instantly all eyes were turned on Judge Peers. “Belleving I had partially exhausted the supply of Smuscalonge,” continued the Judge calfhiy, “I dipped my oars and drifted down the lake a bit. “Ins'de of an hour I had fourteen pick- erel and seven black bass, not one weigh- ing less than seven unds. a Rey? Well, I guess. But that wasn't all. € sun was terribly hot. I was fairly broiled, but somehow I didn’t mind the dis- comfort. “Eventually I took a ringed perch into custody, then another, and bless you, In an hour I had sixty-four of them.”’ Then the Judge cocked his Iegs on the Commissioner's desk, gazed intently at his audience a moment, and sald: “That was ali done in three hours and a half. Maybe you think it’s not so?’ Commissioner Gray's face wore a dubious expression. | “Judge,'’’ said the Commissioner, after a ause, “how much @d you say the wh weighed?’ ‘'t know exactly,” replied Judge , ‘but they were all about one foot org.’ “They must live to a very old age,” was he Commissioner's comment. | Another dowwyting Thomas was Attorney Morsey. He couldn't understand how any one or three persons could catch 276 ounds of fish In that many minutes. B80 e asked the Judge how he got his string to he hotel, “Carried them, air,” said the Judge, “and people were on the hotel veranda look- ng at me as I came up. It was pretty ° but, of course, 1 had two men to e hotel folks declared I had broken all records, and rather believe them. One thi is certain: I never 4 guch marvelous juck at fishing in my life.” we L" chimed the Judge's euditors in chorus. 4 “The secret of it is that I’ve been taking Cryptic Masons Will Take an In ing Trip Through the Great West.

The gross injustice of the old system, or want of system, is too patent for ergument. The merchant, the small prop- erty owner, the house owner and the workingman, have di- rectly or indirectly borne the burden of public expense. The corporations, whose principal wealth, in many cases, consists of franchises which, like a sponge, absorb the product of in- @Gustry, went scot free of liability on this account. They have hitherto been able to prevent assessments of this value, and, by corrupt lobbies, have defeated all attempts to procure legisiation on the subject. The board has made a beginning. But it is only a begin- fing, and the agitation should not be permitted to flag. The steam roads of the State are not yet brought under the rule. Their franchises should be made to pay on the same basis as ©’.3¢f property. The telegraph and telephone companies are likewise liable. Nor should it be forgotten that the increase in the assess- ments of the St. Louis street railroads does not meet the new conditions brought about by the consolidation. The paper capital of the corporation is $90,000,000. Whatever the market value of the securities shall be—that is the basis of assess- ment. And it goes without saying that it will be enormously in excess of the value of the present securities, to say nothing of the assessment of $17,500,000, which is based upon the values of @ year ago. These things should be kept in mind. The principle is ac- cepted. Now lei every citizen do his best to compel its ap- plication to evcry franchise in the State, to the end that taxes may be really equalized, and special privilege be made to pay its share of the public expense. The Post-Dispatch has been in the forefront of the fight ever since the question arose, and it will not abate the energy of its efforts until the last dollar rightfully due the State is paid into the treasury. >>. —_ ww eS Nothing will show: as a conclusive evidence of the solidity of St. Louls more than a sound, fat $5,000,000 for the World’s Fair.

The story of James Anderson, the fireman of a locomotive engine who was.overcome by the heat while trying to “keep her hot” and take the dressed beef train in “ehead of the lim- ited,” is not sit.eular by any means. Heroism does not always go clad in blue clothes and brass buttons. It is not always spectacular or dramatic, and it does not always get into the newspapers. But if the world’s judgments were always sure and true the grimy fireman or engineer sticking to his post in the presence of death would excite just as much applause as the man who @xposes his person on the battlefield. We don’t think enough of the homely hero, the man whose chief virtues are patience and devotion to an obscure duty. Railway trainmen, for instance, are public servants. Their duties require the exercise of the most useful human virtues, The man who performs a dangerous, dull and uninspiring service, holding patiently to his duty in the midst of most Geprersing surroundings and going quietly to his death with- Out fuss or feathers—is he not as heroic as the young soldier who knows that all the world will applaud any unusual cour- age or ability he may display on the battlefield? The one has to endure everything deadening and discouraging, the other is heartened up by the excitement of the occasion, to say noth- ing of the certainty that everybody will know it should he be conspicuous in action. Which one of them is the greater hero? oo+o——_—_—__ If the new City Hall is large enough for an increase of the mumber of janitors, the city is large enough for an increase of the number of policemen. >> www COUNTY BELT RAILWAY SCHEMES. In answering to-morrow. the application for a belt railroad franchise for the Central Belt Line the County Court of St. Louis County will determine a question of far-reaching conse- quences. The first view that the matter was of local interest only has given place to a realization that it is of genera] in- | terest and vital importance to residents of both the city and county. For the purpose of leading the County Court to take a favor- able view of the application for a franchise the franchise grab- bers inserteu in the articles of incorporation a promise not to use steam. In explaining his filing of the articles of incor- poration containing this misleading pledge, Secretary of State Lesueur thoroughly punctures the trick. He states that while he does not think the extraordinary pledge sufficient to in. validate the articles he regards the words “as a mere surplus- age in the articles and of noneffect if in the future the public interest should demand the operation of the road by steam.” This opinion of the Secretary of State is a victory for the friends of Washington University and other protesters against the franchise grant. It completely sustains their contention and demolishes the effort of the franchise grabbers to mislead the County Court. it will be strange if that honorable body does not vigorously resent the attempt to mislead them. The proof of misrepresentation of this kind should be fatal to the franchise seekers, The court cannot afford to approve the ap- plication of men who seek to win by fraud. ° But aside from such trickery, which indicates that having exhausted the city the franchise grabbers are now trying to raid the county, an examination of the situation must convince any fair-minded man that no belt railroad under any name or pretext should be tolerated between Forest Park and Clayton. This district embraces the best residence section in the suburbs. It includes the new site of Washington University, which is to be improved in a manner that will reflect credit upon St. Louis and the entire county in which it is situated. A freight belt line, with its switches, workhouses, factories, noise and smoke, running on the proposed line of this franchise, would destroy the plans of Washington University and menace the best interests of the city and county. It would cheapen property of great value and of high tax-paying capacity, and would burden the best and most frequented highways of the county with railroad tracks. A belt line may be needed sometime, but its franchise grant should be carefully devised to conserve the best interests of all. Its route should be laid out to secure the best advantage with the least damage. It should be granted only to respon- sible parties on the best terms that can be secured. In view of the fact that the sole interest favoring the Centra] Belt Line franchise is that of the promoters, and that Wash- ington University and all the other interests affected are op- posing it, anu in view of the strong grounds of objection to the grant the County Court would act wisely in refusing the application. = = ™ —— That is a queer situation in which vehicle owners who have violated the tire ordinance are discharged when arraigned for failing to take out licenses, the ruling being that no license could be jawfully granted any vehicle owner whose tire is not of the legal size. When offenders can escape one law by violating another, it seems about time that all the laws should be enforced. Czar Reed was a spectator in the British House of Com. mons the other night. No doubt he saw many openings for improvement in the British way of doing parliamentary things. No monarchical body was ever ruled by a more de- termined despot than our retired Czar. >= S So The British Government would not lack volunteers in a war to give the Uitlanders effective representation in Uncle Paul Kruger’s Volksraad. The soothing influence of the Peace Conference has not yet permeated the isles. A French journal is accusing the United States and Great Britain of horrible habits of savagery and barbarity. But France, as well as the United States and Great Britain, has been an expander. It Is altogether likely that if Gen. Grant were alive to-day, with a full knowledge of the Philippine mismanagement, he would say once more, “Let us have peace.”’ a = " a Oklahoma’s crop of 30,000,000 bushels of wheat, added to her enormous oat and corn crop, ought to be fattening to the bears. = = * — a ae POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. There are no rubins around where the Presdent is playing golf. Reed should be welcome in ail the courts of Europe. He is a Czar out of a job. If Dewey says our next war will be with Germany, it is Nkely that he has not heard from Canada recently. In the Peoria matrimonial incident Cupid has again shown himself an agnustic. Al creeds look alike to him. The accident insurance companies may find the kissing bug a greater burden than were the grasshoppers to the ancients. Col. Ingersoll was a lawyer as well as an agnostic, and the superstitious think this fact may have diminished his chances over yonder. Looking for trouble and finding trouble is natural enough, but looking for happiness and finding trouble may even disconcert a philosopher. With Boss Hanna resting in Europe and President McKinley away playing golf, it is remarkable that the Government at Wash- ington still lives. The Colorado lions may have mistaken Gov. Tanner for a Dan- jel, and behaved. more tamely than was their wont. He was never before mistaken for a Daniel. The Alaskan boundary matter has been postponed until autumn. It seems impossible to keep cool this summer, even in the consid- eration of Alaskan affairs. The Prince of Wales would not go to a war in the Transvaal. Some clumsy General, in the moment of victory, might upset him in a repetition of the Aldershot collision. Certainly the gum-chewing girl should expect to use the ouspidor for her exhausted quids. The tobacco biter is sometimes taught to use one, and she does not consider herself below him intel- lectually. = SS = — =_— = ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

FDP IDI2DI339999 399939999 ss 66 Years ago this syndicate made a desper- ate effort to attract white Americans to Santo Domingo. I have a book in my library which was written for the syndicate by a clever newspaper man. It is a sort of Robinson Crusoe story picturing idyllic life of a settler on the Spanish side of Hayti. e* ¢ @ The book proves that Santo Domingo is an earthly Paradise. There are mahogany trees in the woods, a few of which, when cut down. will pay for a man’s entire farm. Bananas, mangoes and a hundred other fine fruits grow wild, and the settler ean sit under his own vine and fig tree with very little effort. e* ¢ 8 But white Americans did not take the bait. Who would go to a sham republic, with a dictator President and a mixed population, the members of which cannot eall their souls their own? * * *@ Better it ts to grow tomatoes, with much anxiety, on the Des Peres than to pick up mangoes and alligator pears free in Santo Domingo isle. * ¢ ® Do you notice that the food trust, which H. G. Wells foretelis in his romance of the future. ‘‘When the Sleeper Wakes,” is be- ing created.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NHW YORK, July 29.—The Sugar Trust shortly will have a new, rival. Having “pacified” the Arbuckle Company, the trust now must deal with the Pennsylva- nia Sugar Refining Company of Philadel- phia, which corporation is preparing to erect a plant at the foot of Laurel street, Phiiadelphia, to have a dally output of 5000 barrels. This plant will be ready by Oct. 1L The new company says it will be able to pro- duce refined sugar at a less cost than either the Trust or the Arbuckles, owing to the discovery of a new and secret pro- cess of filteration for which patents have been secured in all countries. It is said this sugar will be clarified either by elec- tro.ysis or ozone, thus effecting a saving of 20 per cent in labor. The capital stock is given at $8,000,000. Incorporation in New Jersey has been ef- fected. The organizer, Thomas W., Sin- nott, has figured in many fights against the trust. The magnates of the sugar trust did not seem to be alarmed yesterday when they heard about the formation of the new company. They hinted that the refinery was being built to sell to them. LUMBER GOES UP AGAIN. Fifth Rise in Prices in One Season Is Announced. MINNPAPOLIS, Minn., July 29.—Lum- ber will advance another 50 cents straight Monday morning, this being the fifth marked advance in prices this year. The lumber interests claim to be entirely justi- fied in advancing the price. It has been many years since there was such a demand as the present season has shown, and even with the advancing prices the demand con- tinues to exceed the supply. In the case of elevator builders who are using ‘“crib- bing’’ in great quantities, there seems to be an end of things, and it appears that they will soon have to resort either to the higher grade cribbing, which is almost too expensive for the purpose, or take io steel for elevator building. There have been but few years when so much activity has been shown in the ele- vator business. This is partially attributed to the growth of new towns’ along the Great Northern in Northern Minnesota and the Minneapolis & St. Louis in the southern part, and partly to the excellent wheat prospects this season. scinetinsnilininsadimiaild PRICE OF GLASS GOES UP.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.—After trying a hundred experiments C. P. Huntington has hit upon the scheme of employing Chi- nese to spy upon his conductors. As a re- sult of reports from the yellow men four passenger and two freight conductors have been discharged. It has just been discovered that the Chi- nese are being employed as spotters on the Southern Pacific passenger trains. How long they have been so engaged is not known. It has only been within the past few days that the passenger train men have discovered that their actions were bcing closely watched by a number of Mongolians., Two of the discharged men were employed on trains running out of Oakland; also one was a conductor at Los Angeles and an- other at Ogden. The National Surety Company is on the hond each passenger conductor for $1000 and on the- bond of each freight conductor for $500. Its refusal to longer continue on the bond of a conductor means his dis- xharge by the railroad company. The sure- ty people have spotters cut on trains all the time. It has been their usual custom to bring men and women from the East to act as spies on Southern Pacific trains. This employment of Chinese its believed to be the rst instance of the kind in the history of American railroading. As near as can be ascertained seven of the ‘little brown men” have been watching to see if any of Mr. Huntington’s conductors coronas to act as partners of the magnate py dividing with him each cash fare they FOUR LIVES DOG SAVES Faithful Animal Prevents Four Little Girls From Drowning in a River. y and faithfulness gaved the lives of the ree daughters of Deputy Sheriff Jere- _DETROIT, Mich., July 29.—A dog’s sagac- : miah Drennan, with a playmate. The four girls, the oldest being only 9 years of age, were playing on the river bank of the Eu- reka Brewing Company’s plant in Wyan- dotte. A boat was pulled up on the bank and the little ones climbed into it. They were splashing water in their Newfound- land dog, when the rocking of the boat loosened it from its fastening and it float- ed out into the river. The children screamed and, becomin frantic, ran up and down in the little ski out in the steamer channel] and the four- mile current was bearing it away. |At this time, however, the dog had been wimming beside the boat, and a man, see- ing him, shouted to the eldest childe to tle e painter around his n She held out er hand, the dog swam up and began to lick it and she succeeded in passing the pe around his neck.

NEW YORK, July %.—It was a remark- able story that was told in the Morrisania police court to-day by Mary Harley, a wom- an apparently possessed of much refine- ment, Who said she is 9 years old and a native of Bangor, Me. It attracted attention that the business of the evagecn gs Samael suspended while she was pres- ent. Miss Harley applied for shelter at the Tremont police station last night. She said she had walked from Bangor, earning her way by selling lead pencils. “Tt is no new thing. I have made the same journey every summer since I was 16 years old, and never before have I been compelled to ask assistance on the way But this season business has been poor and the weather worse, and to-night I did not want to stay out in the rain.”’ On one of her trips, years ago, she stopped at the home of Thomas B. Reed, who was then a baby. She rocked the future Speak- and had dinner at the house. She said she also knew Hannibal Hamlin well. She had never found business so dull as on the last journey, she said, and had never sold so few pencils. The clerks of the court made a fund of $, with which they purchased her stock of pencils. She said she would buy another stock and start back. OFFICERS ARE ASSIGNED. ED Largest Number Will Go to the Volun- teer Regiments in Philippines.

Nome camp is to be spared the rivalry that usually exists between two towns striving for supremacy. Anvil City, situ- ated near the mouth of Snake River. and Nome City, at the mouth of Nome River, are about four miles apart, and from the start the former took the lead because of its proximity to the rich claims on Anvil Creek, a tributary of Snake River. Unex- penny the Postoffice Department estab- ished a postoffice and named it Nome. Fearing that a contest might result in the office being’ moved to Nome City, the ple of Anvil City consented to call camp Nome. COXEY TO ERECT STEEL MILL.

A MASTER Right Man inthe Right Place at the Reht Tim. GALLIFET PROVES A GENIUS. BOULEVARD HEROES MUTTER, BUT DO NOTHING. Disgrace of De Pelliux Was Just and the Once Great Man Accepts the Situation With a Feeble Ap- peal for a Pension. LONDON. July 29.—The disgrace of Gen. Ge Negrier has created a profound im- Pression not only in France, but all over Europe, and has brought into prominent no- tice the depth of the civil as well as the military courage possessed by the new French Minister of War, Marquis de Galli- fet. Before him the pasteboard patriots who threatened terrible vengeance with the army if they were thwarted by the Re- public double up and fall to pieces and the public is beginning to realize that at last the right man has been found to suppress the real traducers of the army, those who degraded its honor and shamed its uniform by intrigue. It is symbolic of the change in the eitua- tion to see Gen. de Pelliux, who, in full regimentals, attempted to bully the jury in- to the conviction of Zola, now whining pit!- fully for a pension from the position to which he has been disgraced. When Gen. de Pelliux searched Col. Pic- quart’s rooms the found qa bundle of love letters from a Mme. M. Dax, the wife of a well-known Judge, to Col. Picquart. Gen. de Pelliux read the letters carefully and sent them to the woman's husband, who, upon the evidence they furnished, obtained a judicial separation from her. When asked by Gen. de Gallifet if he had sent the let- ters Gen. de Pelliux denied on his word of honor that he had done so; but the Minis- ter of War found that the General had been lying, and hence the punishment imposed upon him was in even greater degree than it would otherwise have been. The removal of Gen. de Negrier tends to the galvation of the republic, as, if his flagrant insubordination had been overlook- ed, the discipline of the army could scarce- ly have been maintained. Details of the interview between Gen. de Gallifet and De Negrier show how misplaced was the con- dence of the public in Gen, de Negrier. When taxed with issuing seditious circu- lars, instead of boldly eticking to his guns, the general equivocated, prevaricated and behaved like a poltroon until forced into a corner. Gen de Gallifet then treated him like a whipped school boy and ordered him to go forth and fetch the original docu- ments. Even then Gen. de Negrier had not the courage to return until Gen. de Gallifet sent him a command to come and not forget the circular. Gen. de Gallifet’'s communication, issued yesterday, in which he avowed full re- eponsibility for the disciplinary measures adopted toward the generals, contrasting so etrikingly with the pusillanimity of pre- vioue French Ministers of War, will add to the respect both of the army and the nation for him, and fully justifies Premier Waldeck-Rousseau's »2%0ld step in appoint- ing him to prescribe for a grave poiitical disease. No member of the general staff has dared to lift a finger against Gen. de Gallifet. Gen. Zurlinden left Paris without a murmur; Gen. de Pelliux, who lied to hig superior, only asks for mouey; “ens.

That Amount Spent Promoting a Bill to Extend the Limits of the City. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Prese Publishing Company. DUBLIN, July 29.—Dublin is frantic with indignation over the emasculation by the House of Lords committee of a bill pro- moted by the Dublin corporation in Parlia- ment to enable it to extend it boundaries by taking in a number of townships which have grown up around its borders. These townships, which are practically a part of Dublin, are mainly residential and in all except one the Tories have contro! of the governing bodies. They gain al] the advantages of proximity to city, of which 9) per cent of their residents use the roads and enjoy the public facilities; but because the Dublin corporation has a Nationalist majority the townships flercely resist any inclusion within the city boundaries. The bill passed through the House of Commons, where it was bitterly fought for 20 days, though the corporation, to disarm the townships, conceded them a preferential tax rating and offered them a far larger representation in the proposed new gov- erning body of Greater Dublin than they were proportionately entitled. In the House of Lords the bill was referred to a com- mittee, presided over by the Duke of Northumberland, with four other peers, all except one of whom are Unionists. The ground landlords of two of the principal townships which it is proposed to include in Dublin, happen to be peers, the Ear! of Pembroke and Lord Ardilaun, while some other peers also own land in the other townships in question. The case made out for the bill was over- wheiming, but after 15 days’ consideration the Duke of Northumberland, without giv- ing any reason, announced that the com- mittee could only pass the bill on the con- dition that the townships be excluded. The others powers sought in the bill are unim- portant. So the decision is equivalent to a rejection of the bill after the corporation had spent $200,000 promoting it. Private bills are supposed to be dealt with by the committee purely on their mer- its, and the vast majority of them are; but in this case the Unionist Peers had a chance of obliging their Irish colleagues while dealing a biow at an Irish Nation- alist corporation, and they could not re- siet the temptation. The bill comes back to the House of Com- mons on Tuesday for an agreement with the Lords’ amendments, and the National party are endeavoring to get it restore] to its former shape; but if they succeed it will certainly be thrown out by the Lords. Bitter resentment tis felt throughout Ire- land at this scandalous abuse of its pow- ers by the House of Lords, and the only hope of the Dublin corporation now 1s in the support of the Gladstonian party in the House of Commons, though a short time ago the corporation refused to give it a site for a Gladstone memorial. CROKER NOT IN FAVOR — eo - HIS POLICY IN OF SECRECY LAUGHED AT IN ENGLAND. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, July 2.—Wishard’s manage- ment of Richard Croker’s horses at their new training quarters at Exning House, Newmarket, is already exciting unfavorable comment in the nelghborhood. Wishard is attempting a policy of useless secrecy with the horses, which are always taken to the heath by the back way and at irregular hours, With the exception of Americus and Bowling Green the touts cannot tell one horse from the other, and when the question which is customarily answered, ‘What are you riding?’’ is asked, Croker’s lads invari- ably reply, “Got no name.” This policy makes Croker and his trainer needlessly un- goouler. and is regarded as particularly ri- iculous In view of the wretched form shown by Croker’s horses this season. Croker was greatly disgusted at the per- formance of Americus at Goodwood, where he was heavily backed. The horse caused a long delay at the post by his bad temper. He ran away from the rest in an amazir way for the first five furlongs, but he failed to > a i his yy y- exposed without resuit. Croker's loss is estimated to hav been at least $5000. " The nonsensical story published In a New York paper that Croker runs his stables on a plan by which if the ‘horses do not win the trainer pays his own salary, and also for the feed of the horses, brought a grim smile to Wishard’s face when the extract was shown to him. Although Croker’s clev- erness is admitted, he has not yet achieved the feat of running a racing stable at the expense of his trainer. FIRM FIGHT ON VACCINATION The Leicester Guardians Will Go to Jail in Preference to Obeying the Law. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publisting Company. LONDON, July 29.—An unprecedented dif- ficulty has arisen between the British Gov- ernment and the Board of Guardians of the town of Leicester, which refuses to ful- fill the statutory obligation. to appoint a vaccination officer and carry out the vac- cination law. The Guardians, including five women, ap- peared yesterday in the Supreme Court to show cause why a mandamus should not be issued compelling the appointment of a vaccinating officer, and the court direct- ed a mandamus forthwith. But the Guardians maintain their position in spite of this order, and all, including the women, cheerfully express a wi/ling- ness to suffer the penalty of six months imprisonment, to which they are liable for contumacy, rather than submit. On their return to Leicester last evening they were given an enthusiastic reception by 20,000 citizens. The government is powerless to execute the law against such organized oppositon, even if it should supercede the guardians, as is done in Ireland under much ess provocation, Adjoining towns where the anti-vaccina- tion sentiment has no hold have asked the authorities to put a military cordon around the anti-vaccination centers.

Ponsin Who Believes That Women’s Dresses as Well as Paving Bricks Can Be Made of the Fragile Stuff. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company, PARIS, July 29.—M. Ponsin is noted for his enthusiasm about the possibilities of glass. He has written a book wherein it is proved (at least to the satisfaction of its author) that glass is the best fiber from which to weave dresses, the best paving material, the only things for water ducts, electrical conduits, building bricks, etc. He only stopped at transatlantic cables, At the Paris Exposition M. Ponsin will have a chance te put his theories into practice. He has been given carte blanche to do as he pleased with the crystal palace which is to be erected on the-.pond near the Elf- fel Tower. The plans are now completed and the work on this fairyland affair will begin at once. In the drawings is shown a sort of Kiosk of very fanciful architecture, built over an artificial grotto, itself made, of course, of large blocks of colored glass. In the crystal palaces which have been built elsewhere iron and wood have been used to a large extent. But in M. Ponsin’s design everything—the frames, the beams, the joists, the pillars, the floor, the roof, the outside walls, as well as the partition inside, even the furniture, the brooms and the feather dusters—will glass. There will be a sort of wide balcony to which ac- cess is to be gained by wide stairs. Bal- cony, steps and balustrade will be of the same material as the resi. The manufacture of everything that can be made with the transparent stuff dear to M. Ponsin will be shown within this curi- ous structure. From the blowing of an ordinary wine bottle to the weaving of glass pajamas; from the moulding of glass Sidewalk flagging to the cutting of the most perfect false diamond, the public will See everything done under its very eyes. The collection of masterpieces exhibited Will contain many queer objects, _—— Others a sledge hammer made (head an handle) of unbreakabla glass. and a monu- mental clock, of which the bells, the weights, the ropes, the springs, every cog and wheel was cut out of crystal. At night the building will be lighted powerfully from the inside. With its prosty lacelike trimmings, its several facades glowing in beautiful shades of blue, scarlet and in other colors, its streaming fountains and roaring cascadcs of shot waters, the palace of M.

LONDON, July 28.—The Prince of Wales says he never enjoyed a Goodwood week more than this one. This expression of opinion evidently is intended as a snub for hig former host, the Duke of Richmond, who had ignored the Prince’s presence com- pletely. The (Duke of Richmond is the Lord of the (Manor and the race track is in his private park. He did not even invite the Prince to hie special stand or give him the privilege of entry by the private gate. So each day the Prince drove up accom- panied by his host and hostess, the Jameses, andw entered the ordinary grand stand, where he remained throughout the day, while the Duke and Duchess of York were close by in the Duke of Richmond's private inclosure. As further evidence of displeasure at the Prince’s throwing him over to stay with the Jameses, the Duke of Richmond did not invite the Prince to any of his luncheon parties, though every one of the Prince’s fellow guests regeived an invitation. In fact, the Duke did all in his power to make the Prince’s stay as disagreeable as possible, and the Prince, though he ap- peared to be delighted, was fuming at the Duke's studied disdain. There were card parties and dances every night at the Jameses. Two evenings the Prince went out visiting other houses, where some of his special cronies of both sexes were staying. Richmond did everything to make his party gayer than usual In spite of the rince. He had fine concerts and per- formances three nighis, though he can ill afford such an outlay. | The strangest entertainment, however, was the cricket match organized between men of the Duke's party and eleven jock- evs captained by Mornington Cannon. The Duke of Xork played, making five runs and taking his full share of the fielding in a blazing sun. The jockeys were easily victors. Tne Queen is greatly annoyed at the feud between Richmond and tue Prince, putting the blame for it entirely on the latter. As an indication of her syrzpethy she has asked the Duke to Stay at Balmoral, where he had never been invitec before, except when he went to take his turn as minister in attendance. ‘The Prince has now gone to Cowes for the regatta, but as he will be joined by the Princess and. their daughter his tether will be comparatively short.

If War Comes Thousands of Foreigners Would Flock to Kruger’s Stand- ard, Says This Traveler. TOLEDO, O., July 29.—Thomas Finn of this city is home from the Transvaal. He is a great admirer of President Kruger. Speaking of South African politics Mr. Finn said: ‘‘The Boers have no fear of war and don't look for atry. They are ready at the drop of the hat if it comes. There may be a iot of talk about war on the outside, and Eng- land may try to make the world believe that she compelled President Kruger 190 grant this and that reform. Don't believe a word of it. I would like to see England or anybody else compel Oom Paul to do anything he did not want to. “T know something about the history of that little affair myself. I have served on several delegations which have waited on President Kruger in regard to that very question. We explained to him how it would benefit his country by granting the elective franchise to the Outlanders at the end of seven years, instead of compelling them to wait ten years. “The old man had studied the problem out and had decided to reduce the periud of residence from ten to seven years in the Transvaal in order to gain the right to vote. There was no compulsion nor pressure nor exterior influence nor any- thing of the kind brought to bear on Presi- dent Kruger to induce him to take the step and make the recommendation to the Volksraad. It was pairely a voluntary act on his part, as he deemed it a matter of justice to the Outlanders. “Since I have been able to get hold of American papers I learn that England claims that she brought such pressure to bear on Oom Paul that he had the period of residence to secure the elective franchise cut down from ten to seven years. ‘The Boers are people who will molest nobody if let alone. They will never strike first, but you hit them and see how quickly they will respond. A Boer will never give an insult, and he will not take one without resentment. “The Boer Is no boaster or jester. He does not go about heralding what he is go- ing to do; he goes and does it. There is as much stoicism about him as there is in the Indian. We is ar fearless as a lion, cautious as a cat, and when hé strikes it ts with the fury of a monsoon or cyclone. The Boer is very religious and practices his religion almost with a severity. They nearly all belomg to the Dutch Reformed Church, although there are many Luther- ans among them. “Every man has an equal right to wor- ship God as he pleases in the Transvaal, and public schools are just as free, well- equipped and far advanced as they are here. The finest school building I ever saw in any country can be seen in Johannesburg. “Some people are under the impression that the Boers are a sort of cowboy race or rangers. They are a mixed population, the same as here. Some are merchants, some mechanics, others lawyers, doctors, farmers, cowboys, gardeners, etc., but nev- ertheless they are all Boers. “The Outlanders are simply those who are not descendants of the original Dutch who founded the Colony or State of the Transvaal back in 1848. The Outlanders, a'l told, number perhaps 550,000 to 600,000, while the Boers number about 300,000 to 350,000 in the whole Transvaal, “Oom Paul has on all occasions treated us American boys with the greatest consid- eration, and any time one of our delega- tions called upon him to present a griev- ance and have it remedied he always did so as far as he was able, and made us re- main and have dinner or supper with him, as the case might be. “No man could have a warmer spot in his heart for the United States than this President Kruger. He likes to stand about and see American mechanics work, because he says they work fast. If old Paul needed help to-morrow you would find every Amer- ican, Irishman, German and Frenchman among the Outlanders shoulder arms and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Boers fighting against England to maintain the independence of the Transvaal, and to up- hold the grandest old man who ever pre- sided over a republic. ‘“‘When a person enters the Transvaal he pays what is equivalent to $4.25 of our money as a poll tax and gets registered. That entitles him to every privilege out- side the elective franchise. That little per- formance converts a foreigners into an Out- lander, and he has the guarantee to enjoy every right and privilege the Boer does in the Transvaal except voting. “The best wages paid to-day in all of South Africa are in the Transvaal. Me- chanics who recefve $1.75 per day in Cape Town and other British colonies are paid $5 ver day of eight hours in the Transvaal. Money is plentiful, business good and ev- erybody is busy.” Scheme for Part of the American Ex- hibit at Paris. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. PARIS, July 2.—The United States Gov- ernment has asked the Paris Exhibition au- thorities for permission to moor a pontoon in the River Seine, opposite the American Pavilion. The idea is to so arrange that American visitors shall be able on coming to Paris to find themselves for a moment under the United States flag on United States soil. The exhibition officials at first were op- posed to granting the American request, olding that the proposed pontoon would interfere with the perspective on the Quai de l'Alma. But it is now expected that their objection will be overcome. Should the pontoon be installed the Amer- icans propose that the unfurling of the flag shall be accomplished by President McKin- ley pressing the button in Washington, caus- ing the flag to unroll. AMERICA AWAKE IS A TERROR. Apt Imagery Indulged in by a Noted London Magazine. LONDON, July 29.—An article in the Na- tional Review says: To the continent before 1898 the United States appeared a huge, drowsy monster that spent its energies in rare moments of wakefulness in nibbling to the lion’s taste. No one objected to this; but when the huge beast shook itself and planted one paw upon ‘the Spanish West Indies and an- Other upon the Philippines it became an object of real terror to European states- men, who did not know whom it might next attack. The conditions were all the more unnerving as England refused to walk into the trap and turn her navy against the United States. So the events of 1898 only served to bring the two marine powers together. SEVERE STORMS IN GERMANY. Forests Suffer and Great Damage Is Done to the Crops.

TH ESTORY IS THE TALK OF ALL LONDON SOCIETY. This Is the Distinction the Man of Money Has Won ‘After Renounc- ing His Country for Life in England. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, July 22.—‘‘Not Mr. Astor,” eald the Prince of Wales, @rawing his pencil through the name of the man of many mil- lions when it appeares in the list of guests invited to mee him at a grand house party in Scotland a week or so ago. “Not Mr. Astor. He bores me.” And that is the climax of William Wal- dorf Astor’s years of maneuvering to got into the higher social circles of England. Even his roundabout denunciation of his country, even the eulogy of his ancestors, which he printed in his own Pall Mall Gazette, and in which he claimed descent from the noble old Spanish house of As- torga—not even these, nor above all, the millions which came to him from invest- ments in the country which he has re- nounced; have won him the prize for which he poarnes with all the intensity of his soul. “He bores me.”’ That is reported on high authority to be the verdict of the Prince of Wales. And the Prince of Wales is the supreme arbiter of all things social in Eng- land. What bores the Prince bores. 80- ciety. Mr. Astor’s social career in England is in danger. - At the dinner tables of Belgravia and Mayfair the story is going the rounds. And Mr. Astor himself went away from London long before the season in wh:-ch he had 5 ae to shine so conspicuously was over. | t was through the innocent efforts of the Duchess of Buccleugh to push Mr. As- tor’s fortunes that the disaster’ came upon him. The Duchess of Buccleugh has long been the millionaire’s social sponsor. Not because she was fond of Mr. Astor, nor, {n- deed, fond of the group of Americans of whom he is a type in London. Her influence in th‘s particular world wa potent, She is one of the grandest ladi n all England and enjoys precedence ove all that are not of royal rank Dy reason o the high office she holds at court—that o Grand Mistress of the Household and o the Robes to Her Majesty the Queen. Mr. Astor’s social star began to shine, Both he and his daughter were ‘“‘taken up’’ generally. The Duchess even presided over every one of the magnificent entertainments which Mr. Astor gave. On the other hand, both Mr. Astor and his daughter were sure to be found at all the social functions given by the Duchess of Buccleugh. Now on various of these occasions Mr. Astor had the felicity te be presented to the Prince of Wales. Amiable and easy- going as the Prince is, the one thing that he cannot endure is being bored. He per- petually wishes to hear something new; in which he is not unlike other people. But as a Prince he can make his wishes law. It is whispered that throughout the —, ent season the descendant of the house o Astorga has endeavored to commit the Prince to being the star guest at Cliveden) on the Thames; or, failing that, to visit the Astor house in ‘town. And now it is the common talk of Lon- don that he has put the climax on it all and definitely closed the Astor chapter for once and for all. It happened, according to the stories current, in this way: When it was announced recently that the Prince of Wales would be obliged to pro- ceed to Edinburgh in order to preside at some public ceremony there, the Duke and Duchess of Buccleugh, as the principal ersons of the district, asked the future) ‘ing of England to honor them by staying | at their palace of Dalkeith during his go- journ in the north. ; In accordance wtih the usual custom on the occasion of such visits of ropalty, the Duchess drew up for the inspection of her distinguished guest a list of the persons whom she had asked to help in the enter- tainment of the heir apparent. The list con.prised the Dukes of Mon- tose, Abercorn and Altholl; the Earls of Roseberry, of Stair, of Mar, of Greg and of Leven; the Marquis of Lothian, Lord Balfour and the Countess of Hopetown, wife of the Lord Chamberlain. The Duchess had likewise, in furtherance of her sponsorship of Mr. Astor, added the names of William Waldorf and Miss Astor to the list. This submission of the names of the guests to be present, either at a ball, a dinner or a house party, to a royal per- sonage who is invited is the inevitable custom in the old world. Usually the dis- tinguished person makes no alteration. As a rule he or she merely writes to the host- ess that the composition of the party is ad- mirable. Onscasionally the royal personage will add names of one or two more per- sons, but very rarely indeed will he erase any name from the list submitted to him, thereby expressing his disinclination to meet the person in question. The object of this arrangement, of course, is to avoid meetings with the royal per- sonage which might be in themselves per- sonally disagreeable, or which might give rise to undesirable wien influences. It is taken for granted that no matter how great may be the knowledge of the world possessed by the hostess, she cannot al- ways be sufficiently in the political secrets of the day to know whether it is judicious for the distinguished guest to meet this or that particular person whose stay under the same roof with royalty might give rise to misinterpretation, The fact that it is almost solely upon political grounds that the royal guest ever bars a persons whose name is in the list submitted to him, makes the snub reported to have been given to Mr. Astor the more cutting. When the list of guests whom the Duch- ess of Buccleugh had invited was submitted to the Prince of Wales, His Royal Highness merely glanced carelessly over them in his easy, amiable way and was about to pass them as being persons whom he Would be charmed to meet, when he happened to notice toward the end of the list the name of William Waldorf Astor. In an instant, as the London story has it, the royal blue pencil slashed through the name and obliterated it. “Not Mr. Astor,” His Royal Highness is reported to have said decisively. ‘Mr. Astor bores me.” There was nro social objection to Mr. Astor and politically he did not threaten any complications. It was not because he was or has been an American, because he is a Man without any country. And be- sides, the Prince of Wales has too often shown his high consideration of Americans by marked attention to them. He was excluded, according to the Lon- don version of the affair, on the broad, genera] human principle that he was a bore to the Prince of Wales. That was ail. That represents the sum total of the so- cial achievements Mr. Astor has won by renouncing his country and his countrymen by the purchase of princely Cliveden, by millions of money lavished in ostentatious entertainments, and by rsistent social campaigning backed by unlimited money. When the list with the name of Astor erased by the royal hand was returned to her there was nothing left for the un- fortunate Duchess of Buccleugh to do sav take upon herself the disagreeable task o notifying Mr. Astor of the calamity which hda befallen, and of recalling her invita- tion. Personally she assured him she would be delighted to welcome him, but the Prince did not feel val to it, and had specifically objected. t is the story as it is now e .. told in London clublanad. | | AGREE ON ONE POINT, - —— GERMAN PRESS RIDIOCULES THE PEACE CONFERENCE. NO ONE SEES MUCH DONE. One Paper Says the Hardest Work of Delegates Was to Refrain From Laughing at Each Other. BERLIN, July 2.—The tone of papers friendly to the conference is generally one of disappointment that so I'ttle has been accomplished, while those opposing it in- dulge An gleeful felicitations that no more was accomplished. The Tageblatt consid- ers that the form of arbitra‘ion adopted marks an important step toward securing the peace of the world, and says: “Whoever knows the toillsome way in which progress of International law is made will be satisfied with this result.” The Post says: “The result shows that those who had been neither too optimistic nor too pessimistic in expectations were in the right.” The most important result the Post sees is that a method is now open (to nations for settling difficulties, and it says: “While the conference has not ushered in the millenium, atill it shows that the wers are earnestly striving to preserve or the ples the blessings of peaze.”’ The ational Liberal, orsen Zeitung, calls the final protocol a funeral oration and says the results equal zero. The reuz Zeitung, referring to the United States and Dngland, says: “The nations that boasted loudest of the!r humanity made the stoutest resistance to foany practically humanitarian proposi- ons.” The Kreuz Zeitung further points out that while England and the United States stood together in opposing the prohibit.on of bombs filled with noxious gases, the United States backed wu England's refusal to abandon the dum-dum pbulHet. “The platonic declaration of the confer- ence for the principles of the Czar’s proce lamation,”’ the Kreuz Zeitung continues, “introduces absolutely no change in exist- ing conditions.’”’ he Agrarian Deutsche Tages Zeitung makes merry over the friends of peac whose cherished hopes are far from being realized. Vorwaerts gives the con- The Socialist ference a parting shot, calling it a com- edy. ‘The hardest work of the members,’ this journal says, “was to refrain from laughing in each other's faces at their own insincerity.” The Hague correspondent of the Frank- fuerter Zeitung says: “The American delegates are ae satis- fled with the achievements of the confer- ence. They played a very happy role, which they were able to do through their concilia- tory position. It was chiefly due to this position of the Americans that Germany was finally won over to the plan of a per- manent arbitration. bureau. r. Hollis and others told the correspondent that after Prof. Zorn’s speech, in which Germany's opposition to the permanency of the arbi- tration court was emphasized, the situation had grown critical, and it seemed prob- able that the conference would dissolve prematurely and nothing be accomplished, which would have brought the odium of the flasco upon Germany and would have had the effect of isolating her in her rela- tions with other powers. PENSION FOR ThE AGED AN ENGLISH SCHEME TO AID THE DESERVING POOR. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Compary. LONDON, July 29.—A select Committee of the House of Commons, under the Chair- manship of Henry Chaplin, President of the Local Government Board, has adopted a scheme for old age pensions, Under it the Governmemt would pay a | pension of $1.25 per week to every deserving person who has attained the age of 65. The claimant must be a British subject, must have received no poor relief (unless under exceptional circumstances) for 20 years and must never have been convicted of any offense. In addition, the claimant must have been limited in his incame to a maximum of 8.580 per week, and he muet show, too, that he had endeavored by in- dustry and providence to make a provision for his old age. This scheme would require a fund of $100,000,000. Although the ministry is not likely to incur such a charge upon the pub- lic revenue, they are credited with in- tending to attempt to pass some sort of an old age pension bill at the next session. The promise of an old age pension for the de- serving poor was 4a prominent plank in their platform at the mae get election, and they cannot leave o now with any hope of ge y= without doing something to redeem the pledge. FINAL PEACE CONFERENCE. Sixteen of the States Signed the Arbi- tration Convention. THE HAGUE, July 2.—The Internationa] Peace Conference met for its final sitting to-day, when it was announced that 16 States had signed the arbitration conven- tion, 16 the other two conventions, 17 the declaration prohibiting the throwing of the projectiles of explosives from balloons, 16 the declaration prohibiting the use of asphyxiating gas, and 15 the declaring pro- hibiting the use of expansive Duilets. A letter was read from the Queen of Hol- land to the Pope, ogng, me moral support of the conference. The Pope's reply, which was read promised oo-operation recalied the fact that he had many times performed the function of arbitrator and assured Her oe that, in spite of his present abnor- mal position, the Pope would seek the ad- vancement of wivilization. oo BUTCHERS FEEL THE LAW. Importation of Meat From Belgium to Germany Prohibited. BERLIN, July 2.—The prohibition of im- portation of fresh meat from Belgium is having a disastrous «ffect on butchers @long the frontier. The law formerly permitted persons living along the border to bring meat across in small quamities, duty free.

Attempts to Bring About Peace Bes me tween the Redmond and Healy ~ Factions Meet With No a Success. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch, — Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. — ¢ DUBLIN, July 29.—Every new National p ist movement in Ireland now appears te produce a fresh schism, and the proposal” to erect a monument to Parnell is no 62% re ception to the rule. A meeting with that Ei object was held under the presidency of the Lord Mayor of Dublin this week and let- ters approving the project were read from e° Dillon and Justin McCarthy, while John /Redmond attended and spoke in its favor. But the extreme section, who are supposed = = to be in sympathy with Redmond, devel- ‘ oped strong hostility on the ground that — untfl the movement for raising @ monUr ment to Wolf Tone of 179% fame is 6UC+ cessfully carried through, Parnell should get no memorial. & Redmond argued that there was nothing inimical in the two projects, but he could not allay .the opposition and the motion in favor of a Parnell monument was only carried after a hot debate and a di which showed its opponents to be @ considerable minority. So dissension spreads and fieu among the Irish Nationalists. This a@ proposal has been made that Sir Gavan Duffy, the octogenarian should be given a free hand to between the different Irish pa ary factions, and invitations were sent BF friends of hia to Dillon, Redmond and Timi Healy asking them to meet and a | about the scheme. Dillon replied thats his retirement from the chair he could noe represent anyone but himself and expresses the belief that the Irish people w ring’ ing about unity in thelr own wey. is understood to be an allusion spread of William O’Brien’s Unit League, which is establishing b now in Munster and Leinster, said it practically has the whole 0 naught under {ts sway. edmond wrote offering to meet t ep- resentatives of the other factions and GOme sider Duffy's offer. Healy, it is under stood, made a similar offer, but there W be no conference, and if there was it be useless, as a union to be endurin now come from the people and no the leaders.

Hanlon’s Superbas took the’ third game of the present series from the St. Louis Club by a score of 6 to 4 yesterday after- noon. The St. Louis team rallied at the finish and there were those who thought it possible that victory would be recorded &t the last moment. It was an exciting game, and the 8,300 persons present were loyal to the home club to a man. Hughes, who has always been a stumbling block to the local club on their home grounds, did the twirling for the Hanlonites, and he was effective in every inning save the ninth, when four hits and a base on balls netted three runs and made the Kelley kids play for rain and kick dis- gustingly without any good reason. I, is unfortunate that Lave Cross is not in the game. Hanlon’s men are playing faster ball than any team in the League, and a patched up team has but slight chance against it. Doniin, who played so fast a game at short Friday, betrayed Western League form in the field yesterday, but he managed to secure two hits. Wall- ace, too, was a bit off in his fielding, Even Harry Blake contributed to the run get- ting for the visitors. Had he not run in on Anderson’s fiy in the second inning the big first baseman’s hit would have gone for a single instead of a home run. McBride was assigned by Capt. Tebeau to do the pitching. But few hits were made off the youngster, but he was very wild, and his own error contributed largely to the loss of his game. In the sixth inning after he had given two bases on balls and none were out Tebeau called nim out of the game and sent in big Jack Powell, More hits were made off Powell than off McBride, but Powell was effective at crit- ical stages of the game and when the Su- erbas needed hits to score runs Powell eld them at his mercy. Jesse Burkett is responsible for the St. Louis runs. He made home runs in the sixth and ninth innings. The last one came when two men were on bases. Brooklyn got in the game in the second inning. After Daly was retired Anderson caught one of McBride's slants and drove it on a line over second. Biake ran in to take it. He ran too far and the ball bounded past him. Heidrick fielded the ball, but Anderson crossed the plate before the ball was returned. Two more runs were scored by Brooklyn in the second inning. McBride could not find the plate and McGuire was given a base on balls. Hughes hit an easy one in front of the plate. McBride fielded it cieanly, but after McGulre was practically on the base he threw wild to Donlin and both men were safe. McBride filled the bases by giving Jones his base on balls and a moment later forced a-run across the plate by giving Keeler four bad ones. Kelley sent Blake a fly on which Hughes scored. Daly hit a fast one down the first base line. Tebeau put him out and by an accurate throw to Wallace caught Jones, who attempted to make third on the play. McBride opened the sixth inning by giving Kelley a base on balls. A wild pitch car- ried him to third. Then Daly drew a base on balis. Here Powell replaced McBride in the box. Aaderscn hit a fowl fly that O'Connor took in. Daly got too far off second and Povell threw accurately to Donlin, but the Californian muffed the throw and two runners advanced a base. After Dahlen went out from Childs to Tebeau, Kelley and Daly scored on Casey's hit. The midget third baseman tried to steal on O'Connor, but Jack’s arm was plent, a8 every Superba who tried to steal learned. Brooklyn tallied her last run in the Seventh. McGuire hit a liner to Donlin, but Mike made a clean muff. Hughes hit safely. After Jones and Keeler were re- tired McGuire scored on Kelley's safe drive. Tine Perfectos could do little with Hughes up to the sixth inning. Then Burkett caught one of his curves and drove it to the left Meld bleachers for a home run. Childs died at first. Heidrick hit safe but was forced at second by Wallace. Donlin made a hit and Tebeau struck out. When the locals went in for their half of the ninth they made a strong bid for a victory. Blake drew a base on balls. O'Connor made a “beautiful drive to center for a _ base. Tebeau = gent Criger to bat instead of Powell. The blonde catcher advanced the runners a base by sacrificing to first. Then Burkeit once more faced Hughes. The crowd was collecting on the field and St. Louis’ pre- mier batter Sent one soaring far over Jones head. The crowd separated and the ball rolled clear to the club house door. When it was returned Burkett had scored. ate were alarmed and played for rain, ey refused to play until the grounds were cleared. When this was done Childs went up. Hughes was slow about his pitching and Kelley and Keeler kicked on every - thing and anything. The rain began to all and they kicked some more. Childs filed out to Dahlen, and O'Day ordered the Fame tO cease to await ihe cessation of the rain. A recess of 10 minutes was taken and play resumed, The St. Lo. isans wanted to proceed.

Burns Pierce of Boston Takes the 100- Mile Race. NEW YORK, July %.—The_ 100-mile paced bicycle race at Manhattan Beach track to-day was won by Burns Pierce of Boston, the present holder of the 100-mile record. He failed, however, to beat his own record of 3h. 34m.°411-5s, finishing in 3h. 37m. 5 2-5s. The stiff breeze blowing across the track probably lessened the champion's speed. Frank Waller was second in 3h. 44m, 9 1-5s. There were four starters for the $1000 purse: Burns Pierce of Boston, Harry Elkes of Glen Falls, N. Y., the middle distance champion of America; Charles W. Miller of Chicago, jong distance champion of the world, and Frank Waller of Boston. The start took place at 2:52, and in the resence of some 4000 people. Elkes was the inside man and had a shade the best of the Start. Pierce was on the outside, but from the moment he left the tape the hung on doggedly to Elkes until he finally outrode him and sent him off the track. Elkes’ pace- maker from the start was the motor quad, engineered by Crooks, Ireland, Allen and Fournier. At the end of the first lap Pikes was in the lead with Pierce close un, Waller third and Miller last. Miller succeeded in,re- maining last. Both Elkeées and Pierce over- lapped the others in the fifth mile, and they repeated the performance at intervals of every few miles. At the end of the sixth mile Elkes’ pacing quad gave out and threw him out somewhat, but he speedily right- ed himself with Kent and Stevenson steer- ing the double-seater. Pierce, however, had gained an advantage, which he made the most of, and he was leading at the seventh mile. n the next lap Elkes was again ahead, with Pierce relegated to his old po- sition of a fraction of a second behind. Pierce made several attempts to pass Elkes. succeeding in the twenty-eighth mile. At the finish of the twenty-ninth mile Elkes was again leading, having overtaken and passed Pierce in less than a lap. All this time nobody was bothering with either Waller or Miller. They were still in the track, and about the twenty-fifth mile they were three miles behind, and at the thirti- eth mile Miller had added two miles to the bad. At the thirty-third mile Waller looked as if he was getting fagged. He fel] behing his pacer, but again got on steam. Elkes finished the thirty-fifth mile in ih. 6m 56 34s. Pierce led him again at the thirty- seventh mile, but he had retaken his old ! ge in the next mile. When he passed the -mile mark Pierce made another fierce spurt, but did not succeed in passin, They were not travelin Jarrett 2b, Gardner 1b, McCrey rf, Kelly Elkes. at a record-break- If you don’t see your score in this column to- | which was won by thé Pennsylvania Barge Club and the late that came over from yesterday and was won by the Bos- ton Athletic Association, were both hotly contested, which in the intermediate doubles and the four-oared races were fully (as exciting. : The New York Athletic Club won the four-oared and the Jeffries Point Rowing Association of East Boston the doubles. while the intermediate singles and the as- sociation senior singles were won by Frank B. Greer, also of the Jeffries Point, and John Rumohr of Rat Portage. But one accident marred the day’s sport and again the Vesper crew of Philadelphia, in the intermediate eight-cared race, was the unfortunate victim. With a winning lead No. 2 in the boat broke his rowlock. With great heroism he jumped overboard rather than become a passenger. He was picked wp in safety, but wept when his crew lost the race. The weather condi- tions were very good, although the water was not as smooth as yesterday and the inside course was wcrth a length over the outside. A greater crowd never ssesembled in this city. From Harvard Bridge, which was packed with humanity, to the finish line, was lined with enthusiasts five and six deep, while toward the boat clubhouse the streets were crowded. Young Ten Eyck had no difficulty in proving his superiority in the single scuil race from the very start, when he deliber- ately rowed over to his opponent’s smooth- er water and kept there throughout the race. Ten Eyck, who had the outside po- eition with the rough water, jumped aliea.l ‘at the start, and with a few quick, strong strokes swept right across the bow of Whitehead, who had the middle position, untfl he was half a length tn front of Ma- guire. To an inferior sculler such a move would have been fraught with great peril from the danger of a foul, but the Wachu- sett man was very confident of his ability, and soon pulled out a length or two ahead of his opponents into a safe position. In the meantime Whitehead had fallen behind and he never caught up again dur- ing the race. Ten Eyck watched Maguire and responded spurt for spurt, and as he neared the line put three lengths between his shell and that of the Bradford man. With this apparently safe lead he made for Maguire’s turning buoy instead of cut- ting over to the other, side of the course for his own mark, which he easily could have done and lost but little. He had not swung completely around when Maguire reached the buoy and a quick stroke on the latter’s part would undoubtedly have brought about a collision, which, under the rules, would have given Maguire the race. ‘Maguire, however, did not realize how near he was to Ten Eyck until the latter had pulled away in safety. The remainder of the race was a mere rocession, Ten Eyck getting four or five engths ahead and keeping there to the finish. On the way down the Wachusett man dropped h’‘s stroke to 28 and later to 5, almost ceasing rome before his shell went over the line, six lengths ahead of Maguire, Maguire gspurted when within a quarter of a mile from the finish to get away from Whitehead rather than to catch Ten Eyck. Maguire subsequently protested Ten Eyck, but the referee had previously received a statement from the judges at the turn and disallowed the protest, ae the judges said tat the boats did not touch each other. In the senior international fours, the Brockville crew simply rowed away from the St. Louis four-oOared team.

Elkes made the forty-fifth mile in lh. 26m. 31 4-5s. After this there was a fierce struggle for the leader- ship, and when ney, had just finished the forty-seventh mile Pierce shot ahead. this time with marked advantage, which he con. tinued to improve, passing the fiftieth mile a lap ahead of Elkes, The bextaning of the end had come. Pierce continued to gain and was evidently | as fresh as when he started, while Elkes showed signs of giving out. The Boston man went ahead at a furious pace. At the fifty-second mile he was a lap and a half; at the fifty-fourth two laps, and he made the fifty-sixth mile with Elkes three laps—one mile—behind. Elkes’ con- dition had now _ become apparent to every- body. When _ Pierce completed the fifty- seventh mile Elkes left the track. He was a mile and a lap the loser. Elkes re- turned, however, when Pierce was cours- ing into his sixty-second mile. When Pierce finished the sixty-third mile | the scores stood: Elkes, Waller, 57 miles 1 lap. Elkes improved his position by besting Waller by another lap, and Waller began to play at running rings around Miller. At the sixty-ninth mile for Pierce, Elkes again became played out and quit. Waller won then six miles behind Pierce. Elkes was, however, not yet beat- en, and with splendid ack the boy was out again by the time Pierce was rounding | up his seventy-secoMd mile. He had then of course, no chance of winning the purse. and at best could only play for a percent. age of the receipts. Even Miller was then ahead of him but he was not very long in sending the Chicago man to the rear. Pierce finiéhed the ninety-first mile with Waller sécond, at eighty-five, while Elkes was third, with elghty-two miles and two laps to his score. From this on it wae only a matter of waiting for Pierce to finish, and to see old man Waller make the best of it for second place. Pierce retained his fresh- ness to the last and looked at the close_as if he could easily have gone on for another hundred. From the seventy-fifth mile he had, however, gone outside of the record Waller showed up splendidly for an old chap, and Eikes was roundly applauded for his pluck.

OUR ATHLETES MAL, — DEFEATED AMERICANS ARE NOT CRYING HARD LUCK. a mile away, the right benk of the Charlies | BURKE HAS LEFT THE TRACK. The Closeness of the Contests Demon- strated the Real Worth of the American Team. LONDON, July 2%.—The poignancy of American disappointment over the loss of the international university athietic games was at first too great to perm:t of a reall- | zation of the true value of the contests and how much achievements of the Harvard- Yale team have done for international ath- letics, but before starting for Paris to-day, a leading member of the team said to the correspondent of the Associated Press: “TI am convinced that as far as substan- tial benefits are concerned, our defeat has done more for us than victory could have done, It has spurred our English friends to know us better. cesses of the meeting is the fact that Eng- lish amateurs have learned that we can stand defeat without attempts to excuse and without quibbling, and while the ciose- ness of the contests demonstrated that we were foes worthy of their steel, the way we have borne defeat has proved to them that Americans afe true sportsmen. Undoubtedly both sides have learned much, especially in the matter of training."’ It is quite pathetic to see how Burke, the Harvard runner, takes defeat. He has been in bed most of the week with cramps and acute pains in the stomach. He is aggra- vated by the belief that he is alone Tre- sponsib'e for the Americans’ defeat. The | Associated Press correspondent: saw him ' to-da looking haggard and ill. Burke has lost four pounds in the last week, but talked in a manly, plucky way. . “Il had pains all through my training, he said, ‘and entered the race in a funky condition. When I covered 3” yards I knew I was beaten. Graham had a lot in him and finished strong as 'a bull. Yes, Wendell knew of my condition, but we were not throwing away any chance, and so I determined to do my best and was well beaten by the best man I ever met. He is a stronger man than Jordan, whom I defeated in America. Now I say goodbye to the, running path. I have given away my pumps and breeches and wiil never set foot on the track again.’’ “As regards a meeting next year, it Is roposed that a British team visit the Inited States about Easter, but that is al- most our winter season and then many will fieck over to the Paris Exposition. Altogether there seem to be a great many difficulties in the way. One thing 1 can say as a Harvard man: “We challenge Cambridge on the river.” The Saturday Review devotes a leading article to severe criticism of the American athletes who ‘“‘possess virtues we oft asso- ciate with professional training,’ and comes to the conclusion that Americans are the better gymnasts and Englishmen the better athletes.’’ e Spectator after congratulating itself that all the long races were won by En- glishmen, says the Amerfcan team con- io at least four Irish or Irish-Amer- cans, MILE CYCLE RECORD IS BROKEN Eddie McDuffie Goes the Distance on a Massachusetts Track in 1:28, Motor Paced. NBDW BHDFORD, Mass., July 29.—Eddie McDuffie, champion middle distance rider of the world, broke the world’s mile rerord on the Buttonwood cycle track this after- noon, making the mile in 1:28.

BOSTON, Mass., July 23.—The tennis at Longwood to-day was in the nature of a waterloo for the veterans, for Dwight F. Davis, by his briitiant playing, defeated Wilfiam A. Larned, the hero of many a national contest, in the finals for the Long- wood Cup, and Campbell and Huntington, the two other old-timers, also fell by the wayside in the eastern doubles. Larned’s defeat by Davis was a surprise and leaves the young Harvard man a favorite in Mon- day’s contest for the Longwood Cup with Champion Whitman, Another veteran pair, Whitman and Wrenn, also met defeat dur. ing the day, and again Davis was a hero, this time with his partner, Holcomb Ward.

West took this means of throwing the acoustics out of kelter in his back yard, to the lasting grief of Mrs. Henry Spring’s intellectual parrot, several other families have erected barriers of boards between themselves and their near- est neighbors. Now Arthur Feickert has joined the fence builders. An altogether unique barricade has been erected in his back yard as a warning to the family of J. W. McCullough that they cannot play in the said back yard any more, It does not appear that the McCulloughs have lately manifested any yearning to pizy in the Feickert backyard, but the logic of the actions of feudal neighbors is always obscure. Time was when the Feickerts and the Mc- Culloughs were friends. They cxchunged thoughts across the back fence in true neighborly fashion and hearkened to the Scriptural injunction ‘‘Love thy neighvor as thyself.’’ By Mr. Feickert went to the McCullough store when he wanted some tea or c«oflee and Mr. McCullough made it the rule of his life to buy doughnuts and other things which Mr. FPeickert manufactured at his bakery. The Feickert family have lived at A and Illinois streets “always,’’ which means about 50 years. The McCullough fainily have lived next door west only about a year. For a long time it was the custom of members of the Feickert family to make at intervais a Kettle of good old fragrant suap. A few weeks ago Mr. Feickert discovered that the soap was ‘“‘atl.”” He set about muk- ing a new supply. Of course, there was an aroma. The wind carried the arorna over to the McCullough residence and in a little while all of the MecCulioughs -vere going around looking like Theodore Thomas or John J. Ingalls and thinking ranidiv. One of the family went over to the Po- lice Station and demanded of Chief Obst that he suppress that aroma. The Chief went over, sniffed the air and MENU. ——_— Monday, July 31. re PHILADELPHIA ICE CREAM. PINEAPPLE SHERBET. ROMAN PUNCH. CAKE. COFFEE. LAAA. THE GREATEST HOUSEFURNISHING STORE IN THE WORLD.

Hawkshaw to take sides in a neighborhood feud. He advised Mr. McCullough to swear out a warrant. McCullough did not do sv, and for a time all was serene. One day a week ago Mr. Feickart washed out some strips of carpet and hung them up on the back fence. He says this fence is eight inches on his own ground. The pieces of carpet hung there a few minutes and then flapped over on the ground. Mr. Feickert picked them up and hung them on the fence again. Again they flapped down. No wind was blowing. Mt. Feickert couldn’t understand it. The next time they went down itn the dirt he saw it ail. “Aha!” he sald, “somebody’s pushing them off from the other side. I'll fix ’em.”’ The carpets needed another washing Dy that time. He washed them and hung them over the fence and held them there while he nailed them fast. “IT guess that will last you for a while,” he hummed as he went back into the house. The next morning the strips of carpet were scattered al! over the yard and one or two were hanging high on a wire. All that remained on the fence were little round fragments-the size of a dime, which showed how the carpet had been cut loose from the nail heads. Mr. Feickert then bethought him he would retaliate. He brought out four 2x4 boards which had done service at ban- quets and placed them in position against the back fence in such a way as to com- pletely shut off the view from the side windows of the McCullough residence. The Feickert house fronts east on IIlinols street and the McCullou house south on A street. That makes the Feickert back fence the McCullough side _ fence. The boards are within three feet of the side windows of the McCullough house. Strangely enough, on both sides of the fence there is now good feeling. Mr. Feick- ert feels good because he has retaliated ef- fectively, Mr. McCullough and his family fee] good because the high boards ‘deflect the odors from that back yard.” There is a dispute between the families as to which began the game of spite. The McCulbloughs contend that the hanging of the carpets on the fence was the first spite work. The Feickerts insist that hanging the carpets up to dry was a natural, proper and orderly thing to do and that the first work of spite was throwing the carpets .

The writ was made returnable at the October term of the court. It is averred in the petition filed by the Attorney General that this company was a member of the trust in St. Joseph, each company tn which the Supreme Court re- cently fined $1000 for violation of the anti- trust law. This company was not included in the proceedings against the 73 companies com- posing that trust, because sufficient evi- dence that it was a member could not be had then, but since the 73 companies were fined and the trust destroyed, they com- plained to the Attorney General that the American Central should have been with them. So the Attorney General at once in- stituted proceedings to oust this gee ape: | for the same reason the 73 were ousted. Later the court modified that order to $1000 fine, and that cause will probably be taken in this case. The ousted companies to pay their fines yesterday were the Detroit Fire and Ma- rine, the Commercial Union Assurance So- ciety, the Agricultural of New Jersey, the London Asssurance Corporation, the Con- cordia of Milwaukee, the Hanover of New York and the Aetna of New York. CAUSED ALARM IN CLAYTON. Question of St. Louis’ Right to Sell Other Town’s Water. The report that there is a doubt as to whether the St. Louls Water Co. can 4@ell water to corporations and municipalities outside the city limits is causing consider- able alarm in Clayton, where a contract has already been entered into for the pur- pose of buying water from 8t. Louis. Clayton and the Country Club entered in- to a contract with the St. Louis Water Co., by virtue of the law passed at the last session of the Legislature, providing that St. Louis can enter into contracts with persons, corporations and municipal- ities outside ita limite to supply them with water. Now, however, it is claimed that the law is not yet operative, and that some hitch is likely to arise over its validity, and that St. Louis may be prohibited by injunction from selling to outside corpor- ations and municipalities. The Suburban Water Co., which made the contract with the St. Louls Water Co., was organized with a capital stock of $26.- 000, which amount it Was agreed to pay St. Louis for the water supply for Clayton and the Country Club. Arrangements have been made with the Abbot-Gamble Con- tracting Co. of St. Louis to lay the pipes and mains, and the work of distributing the pipes along the proposed route has gq)- ready begun under the eupervision of J, R. Young, who will superintend the work of laying the pipes. IT TURNED HIS SCALP BLUE. Policeman Mike Doyle’s Experience With a Hair Dye. Patrolman Mike Doyle of the Central Dis- trict has consulted his attorneys prepara- tory to instituting a suit for damages against a hair tonic firm for the loss of his beautiful complexion, which has long called forth the admiration of the ladies on his beat and been the envy of his as- sociates in the Police Department. Doyle's complexion was as the hue of a nice ripe peach, but it is now as blue as the coat he wears. He says a hatr tonk which he used freely is responsible for the change. He purchased the tonic in the hope that it would restore his gray hair to its former deep black and cause the bald spot on the top of his head to grow smaller, It accom- plished this, but it spolled the policeman's complexion, and he thinks there is a bal- ance in damages coming to him. Besides he thinks somebody should be com- pelled to pay for the fun his companions are having out of his experience. Style in Stationery.

Wihen the motorman saw she had not heard his warnings, he applied his breaks with all the force he coulo command. The locked wheels screeched as they slipped along the rails, but the woman did not hear them. them. The car was almost upon her and the spectators seated about the lwwns of their homes awaited breathlessly the re- sult, hoping all the time she would see her danger and retreat. But the next instant she stepped upon the track. Then for the first time she saw the car. She screamed and a look of horror passed over her face. move.

THE MOST FASCINATING WOMAN IN THE WORLD. —— er ~-——- Hlistory of This Wonderfu. Match- Maker and MHeart-Breaker, Whose Name Is Clemente Ruiz. SANTA BARBARA, Cal... July eity claims, among its citizens, the most fascinating woman in the world. Nobody who has seen Clemente Ruiz or heard her history wil! challenge this claim. Clemente is 2 yeacs old, and has Married 13 times ir. three years. Each time she has been passionately loved; each time she has heartiessly deserted her hus- band. All Clemente’s lovers agree that she is the most fickle as well as the most love- ly woman that ever lived. Hes story reads like a modern wonder book. Three years ago Clemente was a guileless child, but as beautifully formed and richly colored asa freshly blown red rose. When her first lover found her was simply one of a swarm of children belonging to a poor Spanish family in Santa Barbara, merely a Httle oider than the 1] others and incomparably lovelier. So, at Tolfskow of Russia thought her. To-day Clemente Coto, as her fe, is living with her newest poverty. Titles, money, tages—she has had them all and thrown them away. With them have vanished. it must be confessed, a good share of her fas- cination. The people of Santa Barbara remember the woolng of the elderly Count Tolf- The Count was gray-haired and nearly ®, but_.a man of wealth and an dent lover. The Ruiz family were delighted with the attentions the Count paid them. Clemente airily accepted his homage. Fi- nally she agreed to marry him. It was only a whim, because a few weeks of wifehood taught her that she did not love the Count. So she went to Los Angeles, an appeal ng, pretty child of 17, and they granted her a divorce. Now that she was fairly launched on her matrimonial! career Ciemente awoke to the meaning of her own beauty and its power. Her discarded husband had supplied her with money. She was not poor. The man who would win her must make himself an irresistible suitor. For a time the Baron Baudry, her next lover, fulfilled her de- nands in this respect. His devotion won er promise to marry him. The Baron took his prize to New York on the bridal trip and engaged steamer passage. Clemente thought she would be sick. She was not sure she loved the Baron anyway. So she persuaded her gallant husband to allow her to return home. Lonely and not quite sure of herself, she wandered back to Santa Barbara. Out in California there was waitine for her the susceptible young son of a Phila- delphia oi] magnate. His name was John Wilbur. and Clemente thought she loved him. They did indeed live happily together for several months, until the Wilbur fam- ily heard whispers about the young daugh- ter-in-law which did not please them, and offered Clemente a large sum to give up her position in the Wilbur family. , The young woman was piqued at this. It doubtless led her to listen to the love- making of John Harper, a wealthy young “incinnati man, with whom she eloped a few days later. Mr. Harper is distinct In the list of the Spanish girl's husbands, for the reason that he died before she had an opportunity to.leave him. o the men who met Clemente at this time her deep mourning added greatly to her fascination.

Foley, ithe physicians who held the “exhumation” “autopsy on Mrs. Krueger’s body at Long (;rove, to determine by a physical examina- j}tion of Krueger whether the wound he had | charged up to Mrs. Krueger was inflicted iby himself merely as a ruse or with a view | of self-destruction. The opinion of the doc- tors, after a prolonged examination, was that Krueger undoubtedly tried to kill him- self, but having fired into the skulls of his Wife and mother-in-law two bullets apiece jhe had no further ammunition when the fifth and last failed to put an end to |his own life. This conclusion of the medi- aul men was industriously spread abroad among the populace during the afternoon and before nightfall they were considerably calmed down : t Was with the ampafent docilitvy of a lamth that Krueger submitted to examina- tion by the doctors end io interviewing by paper men.

But sligat irjury was inflicted and as the wound was being dressed Krueger sat the picture of despair. He declared that the injury thad never been painful. When the doctors assured him that the wound was aln'ost healed he shook his head as !f sorry that he had es- caped death. His age he gave as 31 and his wife’s as one year older. At the mention of bis wife’s mame he showed traces of emotion. which were heightened as he was led to talk of his two chtidren, a boy and a girl of tender years. Only once did he show an inclination to grow anery. This Was when the name of his mother-in-law. Mrs, Catthherine Voss, was mentioned. He ihen became sullen and a dark scowl settled upon his rather handsome face. It is to his mother-in-law’s attempt to bring about an estrangement between him and his wife that the double tragedy is now charged up by common consent. Moth- er and daughter hed decided to rent the Long Grove farm, which later became the scene of their tragic taking off, and to pre- vent this breaking up of his home the young farmer is believed to have resolved that he would kill the two women and then end his own existence. Mrs. Krueger was a pretty woman, but her husband had never been known to be jealous of her. The quarrels of the couple COnTeSSe qd shot | | | | | | | ' | | One of the more venturesome of the party | } are declared by Krueger’s friends to have | been incited by the mother-in-law, who had persuaded her daughter that the young German was a very poor farmer. : What led to the exhumation of Mrs. Krueger's body and tne subsequent discov- ery that she could jot have shot herself was the fact that only four of the five bul- lets had been accounted for. The position in which the bodies lay also aroused sus- picion on the part of the State’s Attorney. Rumors of the quarrels in the Krueger household reached the ears of the authori- ties. No obstacles to a reopening of the case were raised by Krueger. The author'i- ties now look for a confession from him, as tney say a statement of his side of the case would be certain to put him in a much better light, and it has accordingly been urged upon him by his wealthy relatives. CRATER OF RED-HOT ROCKS Remarkable Discovery Made by a Party of Engineers Sur- veying in Idaho. BOISE, Mdaho, July 29.—A most remarka- ble discovery has been made by a party of engineers who were sent out in the interest of the proposed Idaho Midland Railroad.

The dut'es oi Ad- jutant-General are clearly defined and can be discharged without interferense or ciash with Miles. ; But in the event Miles resumes active participation in the conduct of military af- fairs, it is the expectation of the Adminis- tration that he will do nothing io destroy the harmony which must hereafter be maintained among c)-ordinate Lranches of the army. He must retrain from criticism and yield his personal preferences when they conflict with those of the President and Secretary of War. In this way, all traces of discord can be removed. A double motive is inspiring the restoration of Gen, Miles, to power. On one hand his advice and suggestions van materially aid in ranging and cond.icting a vigorous and successful campaign in the Philippines: on the other hand, the .Administracion will te materially benedted by the unity Secretary the approaching presi lential contesi.

Its mountains are all volcanoes. ; They are a class by themselves. They are not only the tallest, but the biggest and strangest in the whole world. Considering that they reach from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean (18,000 feet deep there) to over 15,000 feet above sea level, they really stand 83,000 feet from their suboceanic base to their peaks. The active craters on the islands pumber 800, but the dead craters, the ancient chimneys of subterranean lava beds, are numbered by the thousands. The islands are of lavic forma- #ion. Evidence of extinct volcanoes are 80 com- mon that one seldom notices them after a few Weeks’ residence on the islands. Mauna Loa, now in .eruption, is the largest vol- no in the world. It is almost in the center of awalil. Mauna Loa means ‘‘the great mountain.’’ tises by long and very gentle slopes to a height of about 14, eet. The crater on Mauna Loa three miles in diameter. When Mauna Loa is in violent eruption a fountain of molten lava pouts every minute over 250 feet in the air, esting into 10,000 brilliantly colored balls like a monstrous roman candle pyrotechnic. Then there fe Kilauea—a shorter and flatter volcanic moun- 16 miles distant. It has the greatest crater mown—one nine miles across. In it is a little ake of molten lava all -the time. At times the va is over 100 feet deep, and at other times it over 200 feet deep, according to the pressure on it io the bowels of the earth. Signs of vol- pic activity are present all the time throughout depth of the molten mass In the form of steam, jeta of sulphurous smoke and blowing cones. The crater itself is constantly rent and shaken with earthquakes. Nearly all the tourists in Hono- lulu go to see the marvelous eruptions on Mauna Loa and Kilauea. Hotels have been built on the mountain eides for the accommodation of sight- eeers, and there are scores of guides about the craters. When Mauna Loa becomes fairly active there is little rest for the people of the island. The sight at night is one of the most magnificent specta- cles that can be conceived, as the great mountain belches forth columns of flame and smoke, while streams of red-hot lava flow down the sides. The lava streams sometimes pour down one side of the mountain and sometimes another. In 1843 a great lava river flowed far to the northeast and di- vided into two streams at the base of Mauna Kea, which they partly surrounded. In 1880 another stream, ~g my! from the same part of the big crater, spread its burning flood for six days in the same direction until it bad de- posited on the surface of the island 700,000,000 eubic meters of material. In 1852 a stream flowed down the eastern flank of the mountain to the cultivated coast regions and destroyed a number of villages. The great craters of the summit, however, are not the sources of the largest volumes of lava that are carried seaward. Most of the lava comes from orifices that are far below the great dome of. the volcano. It was thus that in 1855 a flood of lava, pouring out of an orifice that opened on the north- east side of the mountain, ewept toward the sea until it réached the outskirts of Hilo, stopping at a time when all the people in that little town believed that their homes were doomed. Thi lava stream covered 200 equare miles of territory. It bad an average depth of 100 feet, and its vol- ume would nearly bave built Vesuvius. Three years later a great orifice opened six miles to the north of the big craters of the summit, and the stream SS out of it flowed to the sea, and half fill the Bay of Kiholo. | ‘ ; | zon, heard rumblings as of distant thunder, on- ly continuous and deep. was at once agreed to change our course and stand in for Hawail. At daylight we were yet 3 miles from land, the sky before us covered with a dense black pall, intensified near the hori- The sea was strangely troubled. Nothing short of a violent convulsion directly be- low the surface can. I suppose, obliterate the long, rolling breathing motion of the reat ocean surface, but in place of the esser waves that customarily follow the wind, the surface of the ocean as we. ad- vanced became more like the boiling ed- dies of an immensely exaggerated mill- pond, and the sun so veiled itself behind a ’ nee atmosphere that semi-darkness pre- vailed. Hurriedly swallowing our early Dreakfast we devoted ourselves to watching one o the andest and most fascinating sig‘hts it has en my lot to witness. We were now within six miles of land. The huge mass of Mauna Loa was before us, and appar- ently close by. It has a dome-shaped sum- mit and a crater six miles in circumfer- ence. From fissures and smaller openings on all sides of the mountain, however, fire and vapor were being expelled with tremen- dous force, and the chief eruption came from the crater of Kilauea, on the east side, at a height of more than 4000 feet. This is 1000 feet ot § and three miles across, in fact the largest active crater in the world. Some of us landed on the following day, and then we learned from the natives that the eruption had first begun from an open- ing on the north side six days before, at an elevation of about 8000 feet. There had been no warning sound. A heavy biack cloud gathered in the morning, and toward sunset an enormous volume of fire sudden- ly shot upward at the same time that two streams of lava began to flow down oppo- site sides of the mountain. A sail around the southern end of the island and as far north as Hilo bar gave us a good view of three sides of Mauna Loa and all the actual craters. At one point the large craters were concealed be- ind the great body of the poses. It was night. Amid the roar of rushing rocks and pent-up vapors, amid the increasing subterranean thunders, the blackness of the ganony that overhung the mountain was literally made visible by the glare above and the red streams of molten lava as they flowed toward the shore. Presently, as we moved down the coast, the whole crater of Kilauea came into sight, and from its enormous mouth a dense black mass rose to apparently two-thirds of the height of the mountain, accompanied by mighty volumes of fire and molten lava, which, after expending their force far away in the atmosphere, fell back in shrouds of liquid rock or rolled in etreams down the mountain side. It was now the tenth day and still the eruption was srowens in violence. It seemed to increase in {intensity from hour to hour. We went ashore some miles north of the largest crater and approached it on foot. Even when miles away we thought we heard the thunder of rocks as they leaped from precipice to precipice, and the crashing of trees and vegetation as they fell before the devouring storm. The earth seemed perforated with thou- sands of safety valves from which steam and sulphurous vapors were escaping with tremendous might. High above, the great Kilauea was launching to the skies its mighty stream ‘of fire and rock, and yet higher, 10,000 feet higher, the vast dome of the mountain itself looked in silent majesty upon the terrific scene that was enacting at its foot. We learned from the natives that a point about 40 miles away a lava stream had reached the sea and ewept away a village as it moved down the shore. Reaching the spot we found that the village had been swallowed by the river of fire, and we could not learn that any of its residents, except two, had escaped. All had been swept into the sea, or buried beneath a flood of lava that could not have been less than a mile in width, Although it had been several days reaching the village the inhab- itants had not realized their danger till too late. It was midnight when the flo broke upon them. Even now, as we looked at the river of lava it was to all appear- ance tranquil. The surface was cooled to a fixed crust. Pt break it, and underneath is seen the ec vrent of molten rock, still of a rose red c or, sweeping on with resistless force to t : seething waters of the bay. So it had b. on to the simple minded people of the vil- lage. The stream had flowed down till checked by a barrier of rocks and its power for mischief thus apparently stopped. But instead it was -— gathering strength be- low the surface, till suddenly, in the middle of the night, it burst its bounds and with resistless fury carried the agg to their fate. It swept over the village, not as a torrent water would have done, wildly and saverely. but in a eteady wave, whose very calm betrayed its might and made the scene the more sublime, The hissing waters, the vapor-laden atm0s- phere, the heavy sulphurous fumes, the ab- solute desolation that marked the flery riv- er’s course, the unceasing roar of escaping steam, of thunderings underground, of the great volcano near by and of the sea waves as they dashed over the _ red-hot. shore, made up a contrast to the peaceful vil- lage that had rested there but 48 hours earlier, such as the obtusest mind could 7 hardly fail to contemplate with wonder and awe. Pompeii was smothered, but Wain- @moke, but the other crater, two miles down the mountain side, continues to feed the great lake of liquid fire. The eruption fs accompanied by roars from the depths of the earth that are almost deafening even miles away from the scene. The é¢arth trembles. The scene is one s0 bends that those who have braved awful ships to look down into the lake of fire believe nothing in the history of the world er sUrpassed it. Tourists tell of great nés of white heat heaved hundreds of t into the air, only to fall with a terri- f roar and splash into the lake whence they were vomited. The natives, filled with Superstitious terro, believe the end of all time is at hand, and returning tourists tell of hts that filled them with such awe and fear that they would not for a fortune # them again. A faint idea of the power of this moun- of fire may be had when it is consid- @fed that Capt. C. E. Dutton of the Ord- mance Corps of the United States Army, who made a careful study of the Hawalian oes, said that a moderate eruption of na Loa represented more material than @*suvius had emitted since the destruction Pompei!

It is 14,000 feet above the sea level and 10,000 feet above the level of the lava in the crater of the Kilauea. THE CRATERS IN ACTION. Vivid Picture Drawn by Traveler Who Witnessed the Eruption of 1881. Epecial to the Poat-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.—An American who was a member of a yachting party visiting the Hawalian Islands during the eruption of Mauna Loa, in 1831, draws thie vivid picture of the mountain of fire: It has been my good fortune to witness one of the most terrific volcanic disturbd- ances that areon recérd, and the announce- ment just made that the game mountain in Hawall is giving evidence of another eruption adds a new interest to my experi- ence. I had been two or three months mingling analii, like Herculaneum, was drowned in a flood of liquid lava.

Maj. Clendenin, the father, succumbed to yellow fever while at his post of duty as an army surgeon. His wife and daugh- ters were with him in Santiago, and when he became aware that the city was in- fected he sent his daughters North on the transport McClellan. Miss Helen Clen- denin was taken ill the second day out. When Swinburne Island was reached she was taken there.

Agents’ Reports of Sales—Personal Paragraphs—Leading Transfer of the Week—County Transfers. The past eix days were without special interest in real estate circles. One large sale of downtown property was so near closing that the agents thought they would huve the papers signed yesterday, but they Were not as successful as they had nhoped to be. They expect to close the deal some time this week. The only very notable transaction last week was the sale to Mr. George F. Tower, of a one-eighth interest in the 109x100 feet on the northeast corner of Olive and Seventh streets for $17,500, which is at the rate of $140,000 for the entire property. Mr. Tower has a 99-year lease on the same property. In the money market there was more ar- tiity, and, in fact, the principal feature of the week was in that portion of the business. In addition to the usual number of 6-per-cent loans, there was one at 4 per cent for $15,000, and three at 5 per cent, for $12,500, $15,000 and $100,000 respectively. Kut the leading feature of the week was the report that a loan of $75,000 had been made ona Washington avenue corner at 32 per cent. The man who borrowed the money is now out of the city, and the re- port cannot be verified until the paper goes on record, which will be about September 1, but the report comes from so many 4p- parently reliable sources that it is given credence among agents. Not the least slg- nificant is the willingness of the large dealers in money, the representatives of the Great Eastern insurance companies, to ac~ cept the report as true. They ail talk as if they had been expecting such a_ break and would not be at all surprised when it came. Of course, such a rate on real estate paper has never before been Known in St. Louis, and it indicates the truth 0" what has been reiterated in these columns of late—that the days of attractive interest rates are over. A capitalist can noW get a good income on his money only by buying; there is nothing to impel men to put their money out at interest if 342 and 4 per cent is all they can get, when they can net 6 and 7 per cent by purchasing property.

The seating capacity of the auditorium is to be enlarged and the interior nand- somely decorated. The vestibule at the en- trance to the church has been removed adding to the convenience and uppearance of the structure. The exterior is beine so changed that the church will look almost like a new edifice when the work s tin- ished. The cost of the improvements which will amount to several thousand dol- lars, will be met by the congregation. The church has made great progress of yecent years and the congregation has ‘ncreased to such an extent that the accommodations of the old structure were found to be en- Uirely inadequate to the demands. —_ — Oveéer- PRINCIPAL COLLINS HONORED. zhe-Kirkwood Teacher to Conduct the Jefferson County Institute.

BULLS KEPT A NET ADVANCE WAS SHOWN. | Receipts Continue Heavy and Growing | Weather May Cause a Decline This Week. The grain markets kept the stay at home traders guessing all week and there was a great deal of excitement occasionally considering that it was vacation time. It looked for a time as if the bulls were going to make a successful raid. However, though they did succeed in registering a net gain . ket for the week, the market at yesterday's close could not have been termed a bullisa one, In the opinion: of many all signs are against the longs and there is no jmme- diate prospect of higher prices, though a considerable element is working with that end in view. During the week the all absorbing topic was the weather, and as it was variable it resulted in a nervous and rather erratic market. The opening days of the week were characterized by typical midsummer dullness and there was little news, less in- terest and no outside speculation. Then | the weather reports from the northwest began to challenge attention. It was Stated that the heat in that section was SO intense that the crops were in a fair way to be burned. About the same time the receipts in the northwest, which had been daily smashing records, began to de- cline. Operators on the floor ignored lower cables and foreign apathy and sailed in to boost wheat. ' It might have been believed from the tenor of the talk that wheat was never going to decline again. So confident were the bulls that when the market was 72\4c a broker offered to bet $500 to $200 that It woirld go to 82c before it declined to 72c, and there were na takers. And so the next morning the market opened at 71%c. Some- how all the news had changed over night. Wheat was again pouring into Minneapolis and Duluth. From all over the Northwesr came reports of falling temperature and improved crop outlook. Prices tumbled rapidly and the ‘70 centers’’ came near seeing their fondest hopes realized. In the final two days of the week there was enough covecing by shorts to cause a slight advance and at yesterday's close the mar- ket had advanced *Zc over the closing price the previous Saturday. But it was not very strong at that. (‘orn was weak and showed a net de- cline of ‘4c on immensely increased re- ceipts. Oats lost 4«¢c. Local receipts have been remarkably heavy. There is now i0 times as much wheat in loeai elevators as at this date last year. Still it must be remembered that at that time Joe Leiter had been busy divert- ing shipments in order to work a corner. Chicago Market Letter. J. F. Harris & Co. to J. W. Sanford. CHICAGO, July 2.—The wheat market evidences a stubbornness around 70c, that indicates belief on the part of many oper- ators that the grain bs not far from intrin- sic value at that figure. Trade has been without special feature for a week past, midsummer lassitude being apparent, and this dullness has been rather against any sharp advance. In absence of special infiu- ences the fluctuations have been due to a rearrangement of speculative positions, De- clines average long has let go on the ad- Vance average short has covered. Advances from the Northwest are unanimously bear- ish, and some reports show marked going back in certain sections. From India news comes of damage in that country. Our own winter wheat outturns show about as expected. With the situation in Russia, India and our own winter wheat country showing -o unfavorably, we cannot how it is possible for even a bumper yield in the Northwest to make amends for shortage noted above. It must not be lost sight of that practical exhaustion of stocks of wheat the world over one yéar ago will cause a big drain on this year’s crops to bring supplies to a comfortable figure again The last year has seen a change in tactics among importers who now are willing to get along with as light stocks as possible, secure in their ability to get wheat from primary points to their own ports tn a very brief period. A big visible supply with us will cut less figure on a demand and supply basis than heretofore for this reason. We feel that there is much in the situation to start the market up while shorts selling to be profitabie must be for small profits and quick purchases on breaks. While we miy have drageing markets for the con.- ing week, the probabilities, we think, rath- er favor purchases than sales. Corn—In corn, overshadowing a) else, is the brilliant promise of the growing crop. The longs are pretty well out of the mar- and it is getting to be considered a thine’’ now to sell corn. The crop secured yet, and the price ts a moder- ate one. There has been a large short in- sce “sure isn’t | terest accumulated of late, so that while prooably the actual value of new crop op- tions of corn are high on present prospects, the speculative position is not a weak one, owing to too many Shorts in the market. Oats steady, the new crop of good quality, well secured. July is in congested condi- tion and may result in a twist Monday. Provisions strong. There has been a drive made at the market and considerable prv;:- erty forced out on stop-loss orders. The best consumptive months of the year are just ahead of us. Hogs are not coming in freely. The live hog is above a parity with the product and the rib and lard mar- ket especially has gome influenttal friends among the professional.

RAILWAYS ARE PROSPEROUS. ne, A Steadily Broadening Tendency to Speculate Shown Throughout the Week. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 29.--The stock market opened strong and higher, the active list showing gains from % to1 per cent. Trad- ing was well distributed. The Pacific shares were notably strong and in active demand. Among the industrials insiders Were again at work. American Tobacco was marked up 1 point as compared with the closing of last night, and then made a further gain of 2 points. Buoyancy in American shares was again displayed in the London market, where prices were ad- vanced from % to % per cent above the New York closing prices. Louisville & Nashville continued to be the favorite, al- though there was fair buying of St. Paul and the coalers. The reaction in industrial speculation ex- erted a favorable influence abroad. In the ear.y local trading the features were Amer- ican Tobacco, St. Paul, Burlington & Q@uincy, Sugar, Missouri Pacific, Louisville & Nashville, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Southern Pacific, Rock Island and South- ern Kailway preferred. Realizing sales were made on the rising market, but they were- well absorbed, and the temporary setback to prices was only tr.fliing. There was no unfavorable news, while trade and railroad reports all told the same story of prosperity. Burlington & Quincy reported an increase in earnings for June of $432,748, with a gross increase of $568, 876. Preceding the receipt of the bank state- ment the market became quiet and steady. The statement was not regarded as a tech- nically favorable one. The decrease in cash was greater than had been expected, and more than offset the contraction in loans. The reserve decreased _ $1,244,000 loans decreased $8,334,000, specie decreased $4,241,000, deposits decreased $12,739,300, le- gal tenders decreased $187,000 and circula- tion decreased $27,600. Moderate selling brought about a reaction, which was fol- lowed by a rally. Call money loaned at 3 per cent. The market closed strong. A slow steadily broadening tendency to speculate was exhibited during the week. On Monday trading on the Stock Exchange was the smallest on any day this year. The extreme dutiness was attributed to the conviction that abnormally easy money rates would prevail from then on through- out the fall. Whursday brought reHef from the dullness, and in the late trading on the Stock Exchange there was a perceptible improvement in the tone of speculation. Prices displayed a msing tendency, reflect- ing the developments of the day in the financial] situation, which consisted of rail- way earning exhibits that abundantly ful- filled expectations, increasing evidences of an easier London money market and lower rates here for foreign exchange bills. Fri- day witnessed a broadening speculation that lifted the market out of its narrow limits and resulted in pronounced gains in prices throughout the speculative Ist. Not only were traders forced to cover contracts on the short side of the market, but com- mission houses were more active than they had been for several weeks. The speculative outlook is governed large- ly by the knowledge to be obtained in the next 3) days. Much Its dependent on the crops. Eeary indications are that there will be a bumper corn crop, and that there will be an abundant wheat harvest. The same statement applies to the monetary situation, which has sv far held in check a premature bull speculation, a possibility that a few weeks ego was regarded with some apprehension Peculiar conditions are governing the great money markets of the world and their growth may well be studied with in- terest. During the past week the Bank of Hngniand has materially increased its specie reserves, and the percentage of re- serve to liabilities is now almost as high as it was a year ago. Tne discount re- mained unchanged at 8% per cent, and there was an easier tone in the open market. The Transvaal situation is be- lieved to be one in which diplomacy will triumph, and fears on that score are dis- appearing. Here the minimum rate for time money has been 4 per cent, and the market was firm in the face of an active mercantile demand inspired by expectations of a stringency later onin the year. Bank- ers did noto share this belief, however, pointing out that the demand satisfied now would not have to be cared for in the autumn. A large amount of gold in the form of interest payments wf be dis- bursed next month by the Government, and it is believed that the shipments re- ceived from Australia and the Klondike will find their way to this center. The lat- ter source of supply appears to be increas- ing in iimportance, and has been variously (but not authoritatively) estimated at from $20.000,000 to $30,000,090. The foreign exchange market experienced a sharp drop this week and is now well be- low the gold shipping point, which has ceased to be discussed. It will be some time, however, before there is talk of im- ports, although the expected trade balance in favor ef this country has caused London observers of the situation to remark that a high rate of discount there will be the only influence capable of postponing shipments from that country to this. It is worthy of note that In the months ended June 30 the authorized capitalization of the various in- dustrial combinations effected in this coun- try was $3,201,850,000. These are conservative figures and do not include the Carnegie Company and others, which would very materially swell the total. To some extent, as observed this week, public sentiment has shifted from the industrials to the railway stocks. While even railroad men conceded that the tremendous increases in railway earnings cannot continue indefinitely, yet they point to advantages in the trend to su- perior management by men who have a keen sense of their responsibility and pos- sess the other qualifications necessary; to the fact that consolidations are impending that will insure stability of rates and bet- ter net eagnings, and that no new import- ant railway construction is in progress. New York Stock Letter. By Wire to J. ‘W. Sanford. New York—As compared with last Sat- urday’s market there was considerable ac- tivity. The advance in the first hour was largely due to decidedly better tone to Americans in London. The publication of bank statement resulted in a moderate set- back. General expectation was that sur- ylus reserve would show a further small increase, while the loan item would be smaller than it was last week. The latter expectation was realized, but as to the for- mer the surplus reserve not only did not show any increase, but actually showed a decrease of nearly’ $1,250,000. Heaviest change was in deposits, which decreased $12,739,300, being due mainly to a decrease in loans of over $38,300,000 and in specie of over $4,200,000. The tendency of prices has on the whole been upward, but speculation is still confined to very narrow limits, and a large proportion of transactions on stock exchange are for professional account. The upward tendency ig due to the unchanged rates for money and to the excellent re- ports of crop conditions in the West. Some apprehensions were felt early in the week because of the continued drouth in Ne- braska and Kansas, but beneficial rains fell on Thursday and the best judges believe that the safety of the corn crop Is now practically assured. —" DOGS A PEST IN ALLENTON. Number Two to Every Inhabitant and the Town Wants Them Killed. The residents of Allenton, St. Louis County, are loud in their complaints against the number of dogs that infest that suburb. It is declared that Allenton possesses more dogs than any other town of its size in Missouri, and possibly in the world. There are two dogs to every inhabitant. The residents complain that the nights are made so hideous by the continuous howling of canines that sleep is impossible. There is no provision by which the tnhab- {tants may rid themselves of these pests, but a movement ts starting to have some one appointed by the Coun y Court whose duty {t will be to shoot all the dogs found large. running eat ‘ ie se ap = ae re ee eee i S ie er LAST WEEK IN COTTON a HALF THE CRITICAL PERIOD OF THE CROP IS PAST. BUYERS STILL HOLDING OFF. However, Now That Rain Has Fallen and August Liquidation Is Off, the Market Is Ready to Ad- vance in Strength. —, With the close of this week the cotton crop has pdssed through nearly half of the critical period of its growth and develop- ment without any serious damage or in- jury. There are some few complaints of Small stands shedding and damage by worms and other insects, but on the whole the condition of the crop ig considered fa- vorable in nearly all parts of the cotton belt. However, until all danger is passed, the traders o.. both sides of the market will not enter into very extensive engagements, preferring to wait until they can form some accurate estimate as to the s.ze and quality of the growing crop. Values are about as low now as they can be forced, and the market stubbornly re- — any pressure toward further decline. is was noticeable in the severe test its resisting newer was put to the past week “ the tentlering of notices on August con- ; acts. Now that the August liquidation S practically overs the market is in a Strong position to advance upon the slight- favor ouragement, and prices, even with e cro new coming nae Ws, Ought to do better the The week opened in New York market dull and featureless at prices a shade higher than the close of the previous week, with very little doing and traders on the anxious seat, closely watching the news, regarding the weather and the development of the growing crop, ready and eager to take advantage of any advices that favored their respective eides, but apparently con- vinced that nothing of a reliable character was to be expected at present. Notwith- standing this dullness, the market ruled remarkably steady and advanced slightly upon the appearance of moderate buying orders from outsiders who seemed disposed to pick up a little cotton at the present low prices. However, the gain wae as much the result of lack of offering as any aggressiveness from the buying power. ins were reported in districts where most needed, and the general tenor of the crop advices from the South were consid- er more favorable than at the close of the previous week; nevertheless, the mar- ket continued etead r, but dull, with the sentiment of the trade in favor of awaiting further developments that would enable them to buy with more confidence. Some liquidating, attendant upon the shifting of the long interest in the near months to more distant futures, made its appearance with the professional element on both sides of the market, but moderate buying orders from Liverpool and outside investors offset its depressing influence and the transaction, not being large enough to affect prices, the market held steady without declining. The Government weekly weather report published on Tuesday indicated a decidedly better condition of the crop over|the At- lantic, States and a somewhat more favor- able condition generally in other |parts of the cotton belt than the previous week. This started some selling and increased the liquidation in the near months, re- sulting in a downward tendency ih prices. Some of the more conservative | traders, however, were hardly satisfied with all the features of the report and did not/consider it so favorable. As a result of this, a moderate buying movement set in which steadied the market and checked further decline in values. On Wednesday the market continued steady and fairly active on the covering demand of the short interest and consid- erable buying for consumption and invest- ment account, sufficient in volume to off- set the liquidation ad bring about an ad- vance of 1 to 2 points at the close of the first half of the week for all active futures except August, which was weak and about 2 points lower on liquidation, and the near approach of notice day on August con- tracts. The most prominent feature “pn lat- ter part of the week was the tender of delivery: notices on August contracts. Thursday was first notice day, andjit found the trade in an unsettled frame jof mind and nervous as to the probable dourse of the market and the effect the notices would have on values. It was rumored early that a large amount of cotton—estimated as high as 00,000 bales—would be tendered for delivery, and the bears, thinking this was their opportunity to break the mar- ket and bring about a substantial decline in prices, became aggressive early and were sadly disappointed when the market showed considerable resistance to their ef- forts, and the pressure brought to bear, and it became Known that a large amount of the notices were stopped by axporting houses, who would receive most of).the cot- ton, and the number that came on the market were not large enough ‘to play more than a [nsignificant part in [the pro- ceedings. With the bear movement checked, the market became steady in tone, and, with the apprehension of the! possible receipt of August notices removed, |/business was transacted under more favorable con- ditions, with the trading small and mostly in the hands of the professional elementr but there was not enough unan/mity in their operations materially to affect prices. Crop news from the South the latter part of the week was rather conflicting, but on the whole generally favorable, and on Fri- day considerable rainfall was reported in almost all districts needing moisture. The weekly weather report of the New York Financial Chronicle published on Satur- day stated that rains were quite general during the week all over the cotton belt, with complaints from some points, partic- ularly Alabama, that there was some dam- age on account of excessive precipitation. However, on the whole the rains were ben- eficilal and weather generally favdrable to the crops, with some complaints pf shed- ding in portions of Texas and Alabama. and need of more moisture in Centr Texas. The market closed steady at nehkrly the highest = of the week, ranging from 2 points lower for August to 2 points high- er for other options than the close of the previous week. The spot market in New York ruled steady during the week at a decline of 1-16 for middling uplands, the close being 6%¢c. he range of prices for futures in New York for the week were as follows: Month. \Opening.

Shevlin performed a feat mhich is considered equal in excellence to @ny piece of detective work of its kind on record in the United States.

The confession was the biggest news story that he could have heped for. Instead of selling at, however, he went as a private citizen and laid the facts before the police depart- a tribute time a free | an ‘STORY D ON FACTS, wife, Miss Amy Miljie Harding, who was then at Asbury Park, N. J., were planning to re-marry against the wishes and with- out the knowledge of Miss Harding's father. The latter was wealthy. and disliked Brant. ; The entire detective force was set to work on the case. A number of the men had worked all night. No clew existed. A general order was issued to arrest all known criminals and barroom loafers, as is usually done in such cases. Although no clews were developed that day two theories were formed. One was that footpads committed the murder. The other was the assassination theory based on Brant’s domestic difficulties and the fact that a note in his pocket seemed to indicate a belief on his part that danger threatened him. This note directed that Amy Harding be notified in the event of an accident to himself and willed her all of his belongings. ‘*You've got him'” the supposed exclama- tion by one of the murderers, gave color to the assassination theory. It was plaus- ible to suppose that a hired assassin would make such an outcry to an hogasnpce when satisfied that their work of killing had been successful. —_—-- ee CHAPTER ITI. The Clew Discovered by the Detective. Shevlin was assigned on Saturday, July to searoh the levee for a fugitive from who was wanted in some other . ‘The detective had a meager de- scription of the man. He put in the greater part of the day without success. Before giving up he wanted to see a levee character who he thougnt might be able to give some information about the man that was wanted. This levee character was not about his usual haunts, and Shev- lin dropped into.a second-hand store to wait awhile. ‘The store was at the north- west corner of Olive street and the Levee and was conducted by lsaac Jamison. The detective was known to the proprietor as officer: and the officer knew that he sometimes boi ght goods from thieves. e was the kind of man to be cultivated under Sheviin’s system The detective. dropped into a common- place conversation with Jamison. He talked about the weather, told htm funny stories and inquired solicitously about his health and that of his family. He displayed an interest in is welfare, asked him how business was, etc. The two talked for upward of two hours. The detective gave the dealer to understand in an indirect man- ment that had discharged him. He aid this ner that he know what business he was DETECTIVE JOHN SHEVLIN.

On the night of July 3%, 1888, @t about 10 o'clock, Detective Shevlin, then @ probationary officer, went to a telephone at the corner of Twenty-tirst street and @ranklin avenue to perform this duty. He had been connected with the police de- rtmenit three months anda half and had mon the detective force less than two gonths.

Prior to that conversation the detective had had merely a passing- acquaintance with Jamison. The afternoon chat made them much better acquainted, and the dealer developed a high appreciation for the versationalist. The detective had no ulteri- or motive in entertaining Jamison other than the desire to win his good wil) for possible future reference. he detective was about to go and said something to that effect. Jamison looked at him, hesitated an in- stant and said: “You're a pretty good fellow, Mr. Shev- lin, I believe I'll tell you something good.” PRS nace so? What is it?’’ said the detec- ive. “About the Brant murder.” “You're joshing. You don’t know any- thing about that,” Shevlin said, and — half turned as though to go out. “Hold on, now,” exclaimed Jamison, anx- lous to remove the doubt as to his ve- racity that he supposed had risen in the de- tective’s mind. Shevlin condescended to wait and hear what Jamison had to say.

The detective hastened up the steep grade from the levee towards a street car, rap- idly evolving a plan of campaign for solv- ing the Brant murder mystery. Running over in his mind the names af peveons re- cently arrested he remembered that Harry Morris and Pat O’Donnell, well known thieves, had been arrested a day or two before by Detectives Badger and Freese while trying to sell stolen goods in a pawn- shop on Franklin avenue. When Sheviin reached the Four Courts he ascertained that ex-Judge Thomas Mor- ris was the attorney for O’Donnell and Morris. With this information he went =o _ a= mae Morris called to the : etéectiv man betore. e had never seen the ‘Hello, arry,”’ he said pleasantly, and Morris greeted him. hen to Dauleos: Harry, I'm from Judge Morris’ office. That little thief who wrote to your mother for you has gone to the postoffice and: se- cured the $. Now, we want that money to use in your case, and I want you to tell “$: who that fellow is, so I can go and get it.’ This was a far reach on the detective’s part and !t may seem to have been a ran- dom stroke. But the detective’s knowledge of the ways of criminals assured him that Morris had told his attorneys of the ex- pected §% at the postoffice The detective suspected that the Morris in jail was the one whom Jamison knew and he proposed trying to find out the identity of the other two through subter- fuge. See how correct was his suspicion and how unerring his deduction that the criminal’s attorney would be informed of an expected remittance! Morris ripped out an oath and exclaimed: “I thought the little —— @would do that as soon as 1 was pinched.’’ Morris fell into the trap. “I don’t know his last name, but the gang calis him Ed- die, he said. ‘“You’ll find him around Thirteenth street and Lucas avenue. He'» s,,omen up there name Minnie This gave the detective a good start on the trail of the Jittle man. He made sure that the charge against Morris and O'Don- nell, whom ‘he conceived to be two of the inurderers, woula keep them in jail until he wanted them, and he started out to find the third man. He posted up to Thirteenth street and Lucas avenue. At that time a dealer in second-hand furniture named Davis kept a store on the southwest corner. Davis and the detective were. acquainted. The detective asked about Minnie Kihoyd’s ad- dress. Davis said the woman lived back of his store. The detective went in and found Minnie Floyd, a negress. gHe said he want- ed to See “‘Eddie;’’ that he and ‘Eddie’ were friends, and he had some information for *‘Eddie."" The Floyd woman apparently did not suspect the officer's identity. She said she, too, would like to see ‘‘Kddie:’’ he had not been to her house for two or three days, and she would like to know What was keeping him away. She said “Eddie’’ might be found at Jake’s saloon, on Fifteenth and Franklin avenue. The detective departed. He had tried every means at his command to learn ‘‘Ed- die’s’’ last name without betraying the fact | that he was ignorant of it during the con- versation with the woman and had falled. It was about 7 p. m. when he reached Jake's saloon. A peep through the swing- ing doors showed no customers inside. The detective sat down on a barrel on the pave- nent near the door, having determined to wait a bit for the possible coming of ‘‘Ed- die,’”” of whom he had a fair description. The detective was clad in a plain suit of clothing and had nothing about his style of dress to attract attention, He took off his hat and mopped his face with a hand- kerchief, W hile thus engaged a negress whom he immediately recognized as Minnie Floyd approached him. She said: ‘‘Say, Mister, will you go in the saloon and ask if Ed- die Hellman is there?’ Here was indeed a but for the fortunate circumstances that gave the detectives the name of the man he was seeking, and at the same time con- cealed his own identity from the Floyd woman, the Brant murder mystery case still would be a mystery. Sheviin is not an advocate of the dime movel ideas of disguises in voice and ap- pearance, but during the conversation that followed the Floxd woman’s request he cer- tainly endeavored to appear unlike himself. He attributes her failure to recognize him coming as it did within 15 minutes after he had conversed with her at her home, to the fact that his face was partially con- cealed by the ‘handkerchief and he. was bareheaded, whereas he had his hat on dur- ing the first interview, Qontinuing to mop his face and being careful to not put on his hat, the detective eaid, imitating the woman’s dialect to dis- guise his own volce: “Who's that yu wanta see, missus?” ‘“Icddie Heliman. Go long in there, mis- tah, and tell ‘im Minnie Floyd wants t’ see a," “Eddie Hellman, what yu want with him. Won't 1 do?” “You quit joshin’ me, white man call a copper an’ get you pinched.’ The detective laughed uproariously.at this threat and continued to ‘“‘jolly’’ the negress. He asked her what she wanted with Hell- man. She told him it was important busi- ness for Hellman, but none of his. She final- ly went into the saloon and after finding that Hellman wasn’t there came out and, giving the detective a parting sally, started up the street. The detective guessed immediately when the Flovd woman addressed him that some one had told her he was an officer soon after he left her house and she was out to find Hellman and warn him that the po- lice were on his trail. The detective determined that his best course would be to follow the woman, for it, seemed likely that that course would i goonest lead to the capture of Hellman. Accordingly, he followed and kept on the trail until midnight. She led him to almost ‘all the thieves’ haunts in the city, Through alleys and back streets they went, some- times afoot and at timesin street cars. The detective never lost sight of her, except 'when she went indoors, and then he posted |himself where he could watch the en- trances. The woman became weary about 12, and started towards home. The detective still | followed and arrested her when he cor- cluded that she had given up the search for that night. He took her.to the Four Courts and locked her up {In the hold-over without tell- ing her why she had. been arresied. | He went home to dream and devise some new scheme to capture the littl man on the morrow.

She also mentioned several cheap lodging houses where she knew Hellman had occasionally remained over night. Shevlin believed the woman's story and she was released under a promiee to notify the police should ehe learn where Hellman was. Shevlin now had one of the trio whom he suspected in custody. He bent all his energies to capture the second. He had not learned the identity of the third man, and the idea that O'Donnell was he was shat- tered by the Floyd woman's failure to identify O’Donnell by the picture of him in the rogue'’s gallery. Sheviin visite all the lodging houses mentioned by the Floyd woman without success, He learned that Hellman seldom remained at any one of them more than 2% hours at a time.

We're going to have coin when we come back.”’ The trio, with hats pulled down over their faces, slouched away Into the dark, going south on Twenty-third street. That was exceedingly good information.

On the followi day the detective made another round of all Hellmans known haunts without finding his man. He laid lines for learning more about “Jack” and did some more ‘“‘bumming”’ in the Patch.

The vrisoners were turned over to the county authorities and there, apparently, Shevlin’s case ended. But he was not through He was con- vinced beyond all doubt that Hellman and Morris were two of the murderers. He be- lieved that Hellman had confessed his crime in St. Louis County to avoid trial for the murder of Brant, by being sent to the penitentiary before evidence could be secured to hold him in St. Louls. Shevlin determined to devote all the time he could to working on Hellman for a con- confession. . He continued these tactics after Hell- man was incarcerated in the county jail at Clayton, meanwhile working on the out- side with other detectives for ‘evidence to give Hellman and Morris the severest pen- alty possible for the burglaries. Morris and O’Donnell were sent to Clay- ton early in August. Shevlin visited Hell- man frequently and usually terminated his imterview by asking Hellman if he was ready to tell anything about “that shoot- ing’’ scrape. Heliman always said ‘‘No” politely, but not in an encouraging way. Hellman broke jail Sept. 10. He was re- did the captured in Kansas City a month later and returned to Clayton. He was sentenced on Nov. 16 to 16 years in the penitentiary. Morris was sentenced : be , 131 men of that class were let out tective Shevlin was among the number. The men were informed that they were | “suspended,” but there was no pro lity 'of their being reinstated in the near fu- ture. Shevlin fell back on his Old calling—news. paper work—for a living.

LO OYS WHO TRAVELED 18,000 MILE ON THE WAY TO MANILA TELL THE STOKY OF THEIK JOURNEY ON -. a -. — a Members of the 12th United States Infantry, Who Came from St. Louis, Form a Society and Write to the Sunday Post-Dispatch. HTS letter is an account of the exper'i- ‘% ences of six St. Louis soldiers in Ma- nila, on the transport Sheridan, in eamp and on the firing line, with a detailed account of their journey with the Twelfth Regulars from St Louis to the Philippine Islands. The letter was written by Joseph P. Mulroy of 235 Rutger street, represent- ing his five companions. By way of intro- duction they say: MANILA, P. 1., May 1, 1899. To the Editor of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Dear Sir: We, the undersigned enlisted men of the Twelfth United States Infantry, and citizens of St. Louis, also former read- ers of your great paper, serving in the Philippine Islands, beg space in your val- wable journal as a sure means of stating our experiences on our trip, more than half way round the world, on board a United States transport, and also of our service on the Island of Luzon, and in the city of Manila. We seek this means, knowing that it will reach .our friends, one and all, and are very sorry that we cannot a!so send photos of interesting places. Sincerely hoping that you will give ns Space, and tbat these lines will not find repose in the wastebasket, we beg to re main, yours respectfylly, . P. MULROY, . ENGELBARDT, . MERRITA,, . CONWAY, . WALKER, . DUNSFORD. On board the transport steamer Sheridan the St. Louis soldiers formed a debating so- ciety with the following membership: Thomas Conway, 2316 Hickory street. Albert Merrill, 2612 Howard street. Al Walker, 2320 Walnut street. Dave Engelhardt, 2835 Madison street. Ellis Dunsford, 27 Caroline street. Joseph P. Mulroy, 2337 Rutger street. ©orporal Charles F. Quayle. It was really not so much of a debating society as a social club, for its main object was to keep alive pleasant memories of home, friends and mother in St. Louis. After the boys arrived in Manila they met two other St. Louis soldiers, William Ryan and Thomas Walsh, who had already been there elght months. The trip over was made via the Suez Canal. The Sheridan left Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 18, and reached Manila April 14. She had on board 2200 persons, including sol- diers, officers, musicians, nurses and others. On the way over three children died of measles, a corporal succumbed to Illness contracted before the start, a private was drowned, and a first lieutenant committed suicide. The Twelfth United States Infantry left Vefferson Barracks, Mo., Feb. 11, 1899. Omit- ting Mulroy’s account of the trip from St. Gouls to Jersey City, his letter follows: MULROY’S STORY. We arfived in Jersey City the morning of Feb. 17 and were at once loaded on board @ ferryboat, which was in waiting. We were again delayed on account of the third section, which followed us, running into a enowslide. At last all were “present and accounted for,’’ so we steamed across the Hast River and were loaded aboard the transport ship Sheridan. The Sheridan is an English-bullt vessel, formerly used as a cattle transport, pur- chased by the United States Government a@t the beginning of the war and remodeled. It is now the finest transport in the ser- vice, On board were loaded, or rather packed, 1206 enlisted men of the Twelfth, also four companies of the Seventeenth Infantry (44 men), a detachment of the Hospital Corps and Red Cross nurses and officers, fn all a total of 2200 souls. The crowded condition can better be im- a@gined than described. We were led below in companies and assigned to our sleeping quarters. These sleeping quarters are away Gown in the hold of the ship and are 20 dark that it is hardly possibile to distinquish @ person and 60 damp that our clothes are wet at all times. Our bunks are arranged in tiers, one above the other and three high The top of each hold can be touched with hand, so it can be imagined how much space there is between each bunk. They are a frame work of %-inch tron pipa and in the center is laced a sheet of can- vas in lieu of eprings. The lower hold is five feet below the water line and is as dark as a dungeon if the electric lights are out. The ventilation to these quarters is very good, and a continual flow of cool sea breeze blows through and keeps all in a pure condition. : The ship's cook prepares all our meals, which are very good. The ship is equipped With steam boilers and a large range of the latest pattern. For breakfast we had broiled beef, bread and coffee. Dinner consisted of beef stew, vegetables, soup or coffee ahd bread. Our Suppers were not quite so heavy and varied from rice, dried fruit, coffee and bread, to hash, bread and coffee. At mealtime is when the crowded con- dition of the ship becomes most apparent. Company after company files up from below until the ealoon deck becomes one crowding, howling, elbowing mass of humanity, each company striving to break through the lines of other companies so as to obtain their meals first that they may by chance find a place to squat down, Turk fashion, on the hurricane deck and there enjoy his mess the best way he can, with the feet of his less fortunate comrade in a dangerously close proximity to hie mess kit. The of- ficers are there at each distributing station to see that each man gets his just allow- ance and to see that the meals are properly cooked, After each meal the different decks were carefully policed by the men, under the su- pervision of the officers, and not a particle of rubbish was left lying around which might cause disease. Again at 9:30, when all the men had gone below for the night the ship's crew, assisted by the soldiers on old guard fatigue, gave the decks a thor- ough cleaning with hose and brooms, and nothing escaped a good scrubbing. Day after day and night after night this same routine was gone through. With all this the ship was not as cleanly_ a floating palace as might he supposed, for with 2200 persons in so.6mall a space it Is a hard matter to keep clean. To a certain extent the men were responsible for part of the dirt. The officers exercised the great- est care in Keeping everything in a clean condition. Daily Routine. Our routine for the day was as follows: First call, reveille, at 5:45; mess call at 6; sick and fatigue call at 8: guard mount at 8:30; mess at 12; drill and inspection, 2:30: mess, 5:30; retreat at sundown; taps sounds at 9°30, and this ends the day. The guard detail of the previous day were held responsible for the cleanliness of the ship, and were continually on the move with scrubbing brush and water pail. Every man, with but few exceptions, kept his clothing as clean as possible, under the circumstances, and considering the poor ac- commodations we had for washing clothing all the men did very well. In the forward and aft part of the ship the latrines were situated, and each was equipped with show- er baths. Salt water is not very good for a clean wash. Again we found the supply of good drinking water very limited.We had no cold drinking water until] reaching Co- lombo, and the water supplied by the con- densers was s0 warm it was not fit to drink. After leaving Colombo, where we took on @ large supply of ice, we had plenty of good cold water. The officers’ quarters are spacious and elegantly furnished and nothing is lacking for their comfort. The officers’ dining room and kitchen is on the same level as the hurricane deck and is as finely equipped as any first-class restaurant. But as we very seldom entered there, except on duty, we cannot tell much about these quarters. Throughout the whole trip the officers looked to the persona! cleanliness and com- fort of their respective companies, and it was due to their vigilance chat a great deal of sickness was avoided. A brief diary of the trip follows Sunday, Feb. 13-We steamed away from Pier 2, Brooklyn, N. Y. Feb, 0—Everybody seasick. Feb. 2—Washington’'s Birthday; fired a salute of 2} guns from the six-pounders on board and a salute of one gun at retreat; saw our first school of porpoises. Feb. 23—Light squall last night, and more fickness. Feb. 24—Rained all night and all day; the wind is very high and blowing head on; wish we were all on land. Feb. 2%.—Mustered for pay. rickness. Less sea Buried at Sea. March 2.—Sighted 10 vessels putting in for Gibraltar; sea very rough. Buried at sea Private Donohue of Company H. It was a sad burial and will be remembered by all who witnessed it. Donohue served in Cuba, and while there contracted a fever which was the cause of his death. He had been in the hospital since the Wth of February and began to sink rapidly. After death his body was sewed in a canvas bag and weighted with 80 pounds of lead, and as the trumpet blew “‘taps,’’ the stars and stripes which covered the corpse was raised, and while the chaplain murmured @ prayer, the corpse dropped into the wild sea and poor Donohue's earthly troubles were over, March 3.—All night long the search lights of the English man-o’-war ships were kept upon us as we entered the harbor of Gibraltar. Iin the morning we were flying the yellow flag, and were quarantined on account of measles on board, s0 we were not allowed to go ashore.

Both Spanish and English soldiers rowed out to see us. March 6.—Sailing in the Mediterranean Sea, water as smdoth as glass. Passing along coast of Africa. Saw great schools of porpoises and flying fish. March 7.—Buried at sea two children, one the daughter of the bandmaster of the Seventeenth Infantry, and the other a son of a musician of the Twelfth Infantry band. March 8&.—Dropped anchor in the harbor of Malta, 7:30 a. m. March 9,—English officers escorted us to shore, where we held parade and were re- viewed by Her Majesty’s officers and given a grand reception. The Royal Fusileers, Royal Lancers and Highlanders treated us to a fine concert and drill, and it was a sight never. to be forgotten. We were then escorted to the parade grounds, where we passed the day in solid comfort, and were glad to stretch ourselves after our long confinement on board. Returned to ship in evening accompanied by a few English soldiers who were very anxious to g0 with us. We were the only foreign troops who have ever landed here on a peaceful mission. I was offered a baby boy for the jarge sum of 4 cents. English Sailors Desert. March 10.—A lot of English soldiers came aboard, and asked us to stow them away that they might desert the British Army and go with us, and §& of them succeeded in doing 80. Buried the child of Sergt. Williams, Com- pany F, in the graveyard in the city of Malta. This makes the third ohild that died of measles, March 12.—We weighed anchor at 8:15 a. m. and bade good-py to Malta. As we steamed out, the wnglisn battieships fired a salute. Their band played the “Star Spangled Banner,’’ and our band answered with “God Save the Queen.’ The W de- serters succeeded in geiting away. The streets 6f Malta are as clean and white as snow, the houses are white and the robes of the Arabians are white. Those of the English soldiers are red, those of the Egyptians are many-colored, and the dress of the Christian women is black. There are many nations represented here; there are bngiish, Spanish, Arabians and Egyptians and a few Germans, Irish and Italiana, and each have their own atyle of dress, The city is maltese in architecture. I (Mulroy) left the ranks long enough to eat dinner with a native Egyptian family, and I will say it was the funniest meal ever I ate. It at first could not make them un- derstand me, until a Britisher who spoke their lingo told them. Well, they set me down on the stone floor, tailor faghion, and after a while a woman came through a cur- tain with a big wooden tray in her hand, and, setting ii down in front of me, | was about to eat what was on it, when she slapped my hands to my sides @nd ex- claimed; ““Ne-Ne, me eat you, me eat you!™ I got a littie hot and told her she was a d—d old fool, she could not eat me, when sNe gave a yell which brought in an old fellow, with whiskers a yard long. He proceeded to feed me with a paddle, as though I was a baby, or had no arms to feed myself. Then I got hot proper and he commenced to blabber a lot of gibberish, until a Britisher told him I wanted to feed myself. The meal consisted of fish, crushed fruit and a queer kind of meal made of nuts; all of which fun cost me 7 cents. I will tell you of another funny occur- rence which made us all laugh. Instead of milk wagons, the people are sure they will get pure milk by seeing for themselves. A boy or girl drives a let of goats along the road, and when he gets to a customer's house he grabs hold of a goat and twists its tail, whereupon the goat hollers, the cus- tomer comes running out with a pan, and the goat is milked right there to the satis- faction of the customer. This place is a natural garden. Flowers grow everywhere, and fruit is very abun- dant, being sold at ridiculously low prices, March 16.—Arrived at Port Said at 7:30 a. m., but were not allowed to go ashore: We are a short distance from the Holy Land, and I am very sorry we do not land. Saw natives worshiping at a watering place. Boys bought anything they could get hold of as souvenirs. Left here after dark, tak- ing with us powerful searchlights for use in the Suez Canal, into which we now enter. March 17.—I was on guard ali night. The stench from this water is horrible, Swampy low-land on one side, and sandy desert on the other. At night the swampy vapor can be seen to rise from the swamps. Along the banks are the telegraphing stations, and these places are very pretty, being kept in good condition by native keepers. In the Suez. Naked natives run along the shore beg- ging for clothing which we throw in the water and see them dive after it. Passed through Bitter Lake, upon the shore of which js seen the harem and palace of the Khedive, a very beautiful place. Took us 18 hours to pass through the Suez Canal, March 18.—Arrived at Suez City, but an- chored so far out that nothing could be seen, British officers came aboard and made a search for the soldiers who were aboard, but with very Little success, only one of the 80 being caught. S:eamed out of the harbor at6 a. m. and we are now in the Red Sea, March 19.—Crossed that place mentioned in the Bible as the place the waters parted to let Moses cross, upon his flight into the desert. “Looks like any other old place,” is the comment of the boys. We can see Egypt on our right and Arabia on our left. Passed the rocks cailed the Twelve Aposties, they being very high and 12 in number and set apart at equal dis- tances.

March 22.—Reached Aden and stopped only long enough to change pilots, and by night we will be in the Indian Ocean. March 23.—Buried a corporal of Company C, whose name I neglected to find out. Poor fellow had only 14 days longer to serve for a full enlistment Burial the same as Donohue’s, March 2.—Sea very rough and we are again seasick. The waves break over the ship from stem to stern and we cannot go upon the hurricane deck without getting wet through and through. It rained all night. At 9 a. m we arrived at Colombo and here met the United States gunboat Castine, which put Into this port for coal. We are not allowed to go ashore so can- not say Anything about this place, but it seems to be a fine and prosperous city. We took on coal and provisions, ‘but the na- tive potatoes we could not use atall Their taste was like raw corn. March §&.—All the boys were allowed to jump overboard for a swim after dark, and one poor fellow named Maguire of Company F took a cramp and was drowned, March 31.—At 4 a. m. the body of Ma- guire came to the surface and he was buried ashore. The hospital ship Reiief gteamed ‘into harbor. : April 1.—The gunboat Castine left for Ma- nila at 12 m.; the hospital ship Relief left at 1:30 p. m., and we left at 5:30 p. m.

The l4th of April, about 10 o’clock, we found ourselves i a etrange country and among strange people, with a fierce trop- ical sun beating down on us, which seemed to plerce us to the bone. All was bustle anl confusion. Here was a squad of men unloading strange looking boats, and there another squad loading carts in which were harnessed stranger looking beasts, called “caribon,”’ or weter buffalo. But what seemed to attract the most attention was the strange looking people. Women there were whose gowns were cuc a little too low for an American étage and somewhat too short for a bicycle skirt; the men might have added a yard or two to their general make-up; and children might have worn a littie more than a smile. Our first impres- Sion of Manila was not a favorabie one. Tlie Stench was terrible around the docks. After all our ordnance had been loaded on the carbon carts the bugle sounded “assembly” and we were formed for a march through the city. The city appeared to us at the time to be all walis and few houses. All along our line of march was a long, black and moss-grown wall of very ancient architecture, and over the broad crest of this wall the muzzies of hundred«e of brass cannon appeared at tntervais of B® feet. These old cannon bear the date of 1823 and 1783 and the buildings back of them are in keeping with tne general surround- ings. Along the crown of the wall America’s men are eeen with rifle on shoulder ard in the background waves the stars and stripes. From the moat around the wall a foul odor arises and the night is mado dismal by the croak of the frog, the chirp of the cricket and the mimic of the “‘truca« you,” a reptile of this climate bearing the resembiance of a lizard. We reached the grounds where we were to pitch camp at 4p. m. The district ts known as the Lohnite (lAi-net-ah) and is the Coney Island of Manila. It is here that and ft is here that the Spanish authorit call g De | held their public executions. After & B@@s. repast of hard tack, corned beef and oot fee, we all rolled up underneath our shelter tents and put in our first ni solid comfort since leaving Jefferson racks.

In an‘ins fant l had been transferred messenger, I~ that I knew to be mine, though not the glass of fashion and mold of form; there was the brain which I had supposed was the seat of aH the intelligence that I pos- sessed. now powerless within that cranium, not one ‘cell of which could give forth a thought; there were those lips with which I:had been accustomed to respond to words of affection; now when tose words called my name I could not answer with those lips; there the eyes with which I had gazed upon the mysterious, boundless, wonderful universe of, life utterly and ab- solutely without sight,@and there was the heart pulseless and still. “QO! I said, ‘ie that you, that thing that lies there helpless and without possibility of speech, or heart throb, or language, or affection; is that: the boasted thing that you called yourself, lying there now so prone, 50 powerless?

It is not the form that is cold and lifeless there, and what these heart throbs Which go out with such ineffa- ble and wonderful compassion? O, I am not dead. . ‘There were the beloved into whose presence I will not introduce you to-night, excepfing «to say, that they thought mea dead. I myself had taught them that it would “be so.

However I will say now, as some of you may have heard me say in human speech jn my own particular per- son, that I never stood before the Hfeless form of a friend, never- bent above that image of clay from which the breath had taken flight that all the yearning of my na- ture did not go out in one great hope for immortality. I never stood beside the cas- ket containing a loved one that I did not remember that ¢he great bencficent life of nature holds all Ife jn her Keeping, and I believed that: somewhere and some time those beautiful thoughts and images would be conserved, but I. had no knowledge of the life. beyond death, I had no‘evidence. that appealed ‘to .me as many of you have. There were my affections, my intentions If you please, that led me through the di- vine gifts of the imagination and poetry to dream of a future life. There was the intellect, however, and it was trained in such a.school of logic and ev'dence that nothing could be accepted which was. not passed » through that particular training school, and that part of me never had the proofs which spiritualists claimed to have. “That {s why I am here; that Is why the first moment it Is poss'ble, I come to de- clare that I was mistaken. I was not mis- taken, or T have not found that I was mis- taken in my estimate of what was not true. Because I have found that the future life was not guarded by wardens upon either side who were waiting to canduct me either to hades or heaven, I have not found a yawning abyss opening to rece've and de- vour me with its everlasting flame in the midst of torturing devils; I have not found a‘far-off heaven with walls and gates of precious stones, with an alabaster throne upon which a personal. God is set, whose angels forever sing H's praise and play upon harps of gold; I have not found any condemnation from any ange! or spirit with which I have come in contact since the ces- satien of my mortal breath, but I have found, O! joy ineffable, such a light as comes to the mariner when out upon the .®torm-tossed sea he has battled with the elements and has almost been engulfed by the waves and no star shining above to gu‘de him, when the polar light. refuses: to shed its ta@lance across his pathway and then In the gray dawn of the morn'‘neg, over the -mysterious, beckoning, storme tossed waves a ray of light is seen, at first through -the long, gray, trailing mist of gioom, then-one by one plercine shafts of light r‘se toward the zenith and at last the world is thrilled and the waters are per- vaded with a sense of the annroaching day: and then from the great throbhing hotom of the sea, from the storm-crested waves, from the billows which seem to blend the earth and sky, at last the chariot of the dav is seen, andy Phebus, the mighty god of lieht, rises In triumph above the waves, and the world rejo'ces that it is day. Sud- denly: in the midst of the greszt, solemn si- lence of death, in the m'dst of the whirling thovuehts that went surging through the brain into a shadawy something unknown, in the midst of pulshing tides of affect‘on, that sought to reach the loved ones who were left behind, in the midst of this which shut off the mortal breath, came the surpassing glory of spirit life. This -sun of splendor rose suddenly, clear and cloud- less: there was nothing that eould mar ‘ts beauty or {ts perfection, and sweet strains of music, like those that Apollo might have given on his harp of light among the stars, floated toward my consciousness and seemed to upbear me from the mortal thought. ‘Wonderful thoughts came pulsing like argosies of light freighted’ with dreams) og : Wi prophecy and, hopes, of :immortality, “and:, 4 these bore the images of loved ones whom I had known in childhood, those who had gone into the« white silence of death and from whom I had heard no,more. They. ‘Came ‘toward: me, not as strangers, ‘but,.as those who were aware of my coming and hastened to welcome me, 4 “‘We did not pass through space, we trav- eled to no distant land, we did not enter any sphere that I am aware of, but right there in the ineffable and wonderful awak-. ening of all our attributes and powers, In-, stead of fading when the senses faded, it seemed to me that every pulse was qujck- ened, every nerve was performing a thou- sand fold more duty. I could hear the voices of the loved ones saying softly and with hushed and tremulous voices, ‘Is he really dead?’ I could also hear their hearts beat and feel the throbbings of their minds»as, with great intensity of'love, they asked the man of medicine.if, he could cure me. “Ah! but I could hear’ more plainly that. music of the bending spheres, that sound of beloved ones calling and winning me unto this wonderful realm, and those whom I had loved, and restored youth and won- derful delight welcoming me into the land or realm of spirit, “Was it a dream; could this be another phantasy of the. brain? Was it possible that my {ndisposition had taken on such shape and form? Was I really not out of my body, but imagining all this? Some- times it would flash upon mé: This is not music I hear; these are not my friends who have died that I see before me, but only the memory of them; my brain is dis- eased and I will be restored, and I will be again among the members of my household and my ‘friends on earth as before. But as soon as this thought would come to me there would be the body lying there pre- pared or being prepared for -sepulcher; and there those $pirits pointing me to that form and saying: ‘No, you will no longer rehabilitate yourself with that form, you will no longer pervade that brain; you are alive in the realm of spirit.’ “Then, O! such vast areas as seemed to sweep before my vision, the sun-kissed rainbow that crowned the universe seemed throbbing and pulsing with light, and thoughts greater than I had dared to think in that house of clay came through my teeming brain as I realized that I was no longer an inhabitant of the dust, but an immortal. human spirit. “Have you ever been in the confines of a closed room, or possibly in the depths of the earth, scarcely able to breathe from an atmosphere so close and damp? Have you éver been shut un in a noijisesome place where many persons were congregated and not able to breathe the air so. vitiated? Have you ever felt tethered and fettered by your environment of dust? If you have, you know what it is when you set your feet upon the broad, green earth and can breathe the air of heaven and see the mountains beyond and all the bright ver- dure, and know that you are free. Not one-thousandth part of this freedom did I ever feel before; not one-mill‘onth part of this great joy. I seemed to be let loose from the fetters of the dust; I seemed to let something fall that was a clod, and I entered the realm that was my native ele- ment. Have you ever let a bird free from the cage where it was reluctant to sing its song, and then heard it warble in its na- tive air? Have.you set free a ‘spirit ‘that was in sorrow or in boniage In’ ‘the’ earth life, weighted down with human, taresjand, perhaps, with poverty and want? Then you know something of the great tlie of freedom that swept in and through my consciousness. ‘Tt seemed to me that the chain of thought was limitless; it seemed to me that retrospect and prophecy were one; it seemed to me that all the things that I saw or d'd were before my consciousness, and each unworthy act burned {nto my spirit , : ) n% m 2 a - with ‘a : bitter: pang, 2nd 4 mhch that I had as.brought to mg consciousness. with added joy, for there;were-those who seemed to think’ I had'iddne. them’ good.

I must meet the deeds, the thoughts and words of my mortal existence. But, friends, I am‘not afraid to meet them; they are mine, and'I.am responsibie for them; I am willing to:‘suffer for them if need be, I’ shall require to’ have this introspection be- fore I can take up this vast thread of life, which opens up before me, and intelligently bear it forward to its fruition. I shall re- quire to understand who I am in this realm which is freer and greater than human life. *I shall require to comprehend more and more of the great realities of life to life and mind to mind. ‘But, friends, it is not appalling. I find nothing before me that is discouraging; one of the least of those souls that are set free, of these spirits that surge and throng around me in the kingdom of immortal life, I still put my feet firmly upon the founda- tions of spirit life, and I am not afraid. There is nothing in this spirit life that can appall or make afraid; you enter upon your own inheritance, and, I am happy to say, that of all the things I may have commit- ted that were wrong, of all the thoughts that may have been unworthy, I have tried to think and act with integrity and justice to my fellowman., “So I find myself here upon the threshold of immortal life, not with any great spir- {tual possessions, for I did not have them, not with much ‘understanding of: the life that opened up before me, for I did not have it. But I find that the dreams that I dreamed, even from early youth and Man =|, hood, and the great tides of hope that have. uplifted me even in ‘the hour of contact the fulfillment of that hope in the reunion of beloved friends, and the fulfillment of that aspiration and dream in the great world or realm upon which I have entered. “T cannot tell you, as other spir‘ts can, of added’ experiences in the spirit state; they must come to me. I must wait until the last sorrow has been hushed, until the tears’ over the casket are dried, which as yet are not fully parted from me. I must wait until I can take up the great inheri- tance of spirit life worthily and understand its true value and meaning. “But, friends, I realize at this moment, in, this, the first hours of my spiritual ex- istence, that I am not separated from the great bond of sympathy, am not separated from my kind because I am dead, and I hasten to remove any barrier that a word or thought of ‘mine'may’ have placed upon the mind of any: of you concerning that fu- ture life. If there {s, let it be removed from this hour. “T hasten to tell you that unbelief, al- though sincere and honest, is not the cor- rect attitude of an intelligent m!nd, which may not have knowledge, forwithout know!- edge what right have we to disbelieve? DoubtAs the great agitator of thought and the commencement of wisdom, and ‘the doubts of the past have enabled man to explore the avenues of human science and knowledge to the fulfillment of the laws of an all bountiful nature. But to say that there should be active disbelief in a thing which one knows nothing ofy is now reé- vealed to me as being unworthy an intelli- gent mind.

I take back no word that I ever spoke against that fear that enthralls mankind and refuses to let him ree in the realm of thought and active human Hfe. But the difference between the theo- logical héaven and hades and’ this realm into which I have now entered, is the dif- ference between darkness and light, be- tween death and life, between annihilation and existence forever.

It Was a very Ucklish position we were placed in, as the boat’s crew of 27 men wére all ‘natives and we had to keep an eye oh them all] the time for fear of some treachery on their part, we being the only two Americans on board. We stood four hours on and four ours off so met one of us was awake at ee MR ee! | ens Ei a all times. After two weeks of this duty we were relieved by two others and we were heartily glad to be rid of the job. We reported to our company commander and found the company moved again, this time being in quarters at the palace, which is headquarters for Gen. Otis and. staff. We also did guard duty at the treasury, where large sums of money are stored. We moved from here and are now doing guard duty at Fort Santiago and have 000 insurgent prisoners in our charge. Here are ended our experiences in Manila so far. Probably our .fr.ends in St. Louis would like to know something of the cl-mate and general conditions of this place. There are practically only two seasons here, to my knowledge—the hot and wet, being the months of June, July and August, the re- mainder being the-hot and dry season, al- though November, December and January are considerable cooler*than other months. The natives are in appearance somewhat like our American negro, except that thelr hair is not k.nky and they are not quite so dark. They have the trait of the Span- ish in being polished in manners and are very obedient, but when you turn your ‘back they are different and nothing wou.d please them better than having an oppor- tunity to Knife you. They are cleanlyain appearance. Their food is chiefly rise and fish and the poorer classes never have anything There are four distinct classes of people among them, The mer- chants, or fashionable class; the planters, semi-fashionable; the venders, or workers, and the ceolles and river natives,-which are the low class. The Spanish have intermarried and are a separate class. The Chinese are also a sep- arate class, and taken all together it is a m.xed up race of people. “here is not much danger of the Ameri- can boys marrying any of them, though some senoritas are very pretty. It would be advisable for an American mechanic to fight shy of these isiands for else. Ce bo OO aa CS NEED te a am « TO MANILA, many years to come.

This district seems to be more thickly settled and highly cultivated than any we have seen, except in the immediate vicinity of Manila. At the first village we stopped the natives were not armed, and seemed friendly, but a iilipino officer rode into the town a little iater from Batangas and thformed us that troogs were already ° j on the way from that city, and a flag of truce would probably be tired upon, “The tribes around here seem to be mere or less indifferent in regard to the war, but appear to be completely at the mercy of the Tagallos. “We are now anchored off a large village near Batanzas. The people were much ex- Cited upon our arrival, and horsemen have been going at full speed between the va- rious villages. We did not open fire, 50 after waiting for some time two Filipinos put out in a canoe for the ship; they rowed with all their might upon leaving the shore, and created a great impression amongst the people assembled there, but upon near- ing the ship their moving was not so ener- getic. We showed a flag of truce, which reassured them, so they came on and want- ed to sell a little basket of mangoes. We bought their fruit, and having satisfied their curiosity they returned. ‘ “Very soon a large canoe put off from near Batangas with a delegation from the ‘Presidente’ of the district. Their mis- Sion was a more delicate one, and they seemed doubtful as to the nature of their reception; they stated that they came out with orders to ask why we were here and what we intended to do. The spokesman frequently hesitated In his speech, but it was amusing to see his change in. this dl- rection when invited to come on board. The words were hardly spoken before he replied: “‘No, signor! No, signor!’ and then he apparently felt that he had made & mistake tn showing so clearly that he mistrusted us, and seemed anxious to start back.

The average man buys his stamps, mails his letters and receives his answer by carrier. To him the postoffice is a business convenience. There his thought of it ends. He does not stop to think, for instance, that the 8t. Louls postoffice is one of the three branch agencies for the sale of pos- tal cards in the United States ven the proud Chicagoese must send to St. Louls for their postal cards. Neither does the average citizen know that the €&t. Louis of- fice sometimes carries half a million dol- jars’ worth of postage stamps. Its present stock is worth $192,000, and is considered very lght. These stamps are cared for by the cash- fer, who is responsible for them to the de- partment direct. He sells them for cash only to the stamp clerks. There are four of these clerks, in little cages, and they sell to the public. They balance their cash every night and report every stamp sold. The man in charge selis mostly at whole- gsaic. He has been in the departmem years. After a letter is stamped ft ie deposited either at the main office, one of the ll ofty branches or in a street box. In any case. its course is the same. The branches send thelr mall to the matin office, after distrib- wting it into States and city districts. The box mall is gathered either by carriers and taken to the branahes or the main office direct, or by the street railway postal! cars Aiong the car lines this method Is used. The mail, on the cars, is distributed Into @iates and city districts by clerks on the way to the main office.

These cancel the stamps and postmark the letters. Branch office and -postal car mail, already faced, goes through the machines at once. Then it is distributed. Mail for the city is separated into dis- tricts and sent, each bundle to its partic- ular branch office. For the main office, it is distributed into carrier routes, by plac- ing the letters in the boxes, properly labeled, in big cases, The carriers take their own matl from these cases, redirtribute it at their own cases, make up their routes and deliver it. At the branches, the carriers who report there do the same thing. Out-of-town mail is separated by States, routes, towns, etc., depending upon its des- tination. The nearer it goes the closer its separation. Each rack in which it is placed ts so arranged that when.the mail is tied In bundles, the packets rum consec- utively as the rafiway postal clerk will need them. Into sacks duly labeled it goes, and these sacks g0 to the trains. Newspaper mall is handled tn the same way, except that it is distributed directly to sacks, instead of to the cases. A Was- on drives up from the maliing room of the newspaper, unloads at a scale and goes away. The clerk weighs the sacks, charges against the paper’s deposit the postage due, ang sends the sacks to the distributors. They stand on platforms surrounded by fron frames, to which the secks are at- tached. Then, picking up the papers from the table at thelr side, they throw them accurately to the sacks. Great speed has been attained at this work, and expertnese is a prerequisite. Thousands of these sacks are stowed away in the big basement of the Postof- fice, and there is an account kept of every one of them, just as there is of the mil- lions of postal cards, in an adjoinihg room. Newspapers from out of town—"ex- changes'’—coming to the papers here are placed in boxes in @ special rack. These Wie : Be fer a UTION NATED IN THE SI a :’ ee ours Pas boxes may be opened from the outside, and to them the exchange editors send for the bundles of “our country contem- poraries.” When the mail ts distributed the sacks are sent to the branches or the trains. Every eack that comes into or leaves the postoffice, empty or filled, is recorded. At the branches, the mail goes to the car- riers, as explained. The distribution of the mail ts probably the most important feature of the postoffice work. The man who does it must have a memory that ts quick, wide-covering and imfallible. A mistake is never passed; the slip on the pottch he sends out comes back with every error noted, and there is no question as to who made it. He must keep trained up to his work all the time. Twice a year he must pass an examination on it, and oftener, if ordered. He is sent for examination to a case containing cards marked, for irstance, with the names of every postoffice in Indiana. These cards he must put in their proper places, either by county or by postal route,“As directed, and the percentage of errors ig scored against him. He may, if a city distributor, be given the town cards, bearing various street numbers, to handle in the same way. Thus his memory is continually refreshed. It is harder to eort mail for St. Louis than for the country. In the country the changes are few and, once mastered, the routes are practically learned forever. In the city, however, 60 per cent of the mail comes addressed simply to “St. Louls.”’ This is easy when the addressee is a big bf or ‘ Ps me... fa 8 ~ : Ra i Sot 2 Re 3 er ee ee os we 3 Die ly ee ee ee ee, * > 22 2 > STAMP CANCELLING TAACHINE | firm or something of that sort, but when «& letter comes to “John Smith, St. Louls,” as they do, there’e trotible. The sorter must know by intuition._which John Smith is meant and where he lives. Addresses change very often in a city, and the clerk must keep pace with the moves. A carrier reports William Brown, formerly on his route, as gone. The dis- tributor i¢ the man who learns where Brown has moved to, and which carrier will take his mail henceforth. So the city distributors must be good at forgetting as well as remembering. This is only one feature, this examination, of the discipline of the postoffice. Every clerk is examined in his duties, and his civil service record and his promotions de- pend upon his showing. Every clerk’s time is kept, too, and so is every carrier's. All “ring in” on time clocks, and “ring out,” and the tape inside the clock makes a record that Is absolute. There are seven of these clocks in the main office and one in each branch eta- tion. (On the right side of each Is a key- board. The presence of a numbered key on it indicates that its holder is out. The board on the other eide means “‘in.”” When a clerk arrives he takes his key down, puts it in the slot in the clock, turns it, which prints number and time on the tape, and hangs it on the other side. Going out, he reverses the process, pulling a lever that prints a star in front of the number. This is the “out” sign. The tapes are taken out and figured up by a clerk detailed for that purpose ieee ee” RAR Pp, atid ory a OE si 2 ioe Roa Nt ce, ae Sage? a * =e Ms igs Se aE! ¥ Ny : a ae ‘ie Ae Re Toe at) i C3 ? The St. Louls postoffice employes are unk formed—and they are the only ones in the United States who are. The-idea was Post. master Baumhoff's. The men wear close blue blouses, and the women, white eprong with shoulder pieces. Insignia on the ool lars designate the postmaster by an cagig, superintendents and heads of departments by a star, etc. In a big airy room tn the southeast com ner of the postoffice basement is the gytie nasium and reading room. This was fitted up partly by the employes, partly Dy otate side aid. In it, clerks, men or women, eff duty may exercise or read. If one has halg an hour between rounds of work he may rest there instead of seeking a less de sirable place. Some tours of duty leave mea a spare hour, or even more. The time does not permit them to go home; they have this place to spend it in. The gym is fitted up with all sorts of apparatus exercising, including horizontal bars, dumb-bells, Indian clubs, vaults and @ ing rings. The reading rooms have ta writing materials, flowers, plants, birds | cages, and a general air of restfulness, Magazines, pictures and dally papers there in plenty and bookcases for the brary are on the way. This is the br est spot in the whole bullding. k There is an esprit du corps about the 8& Louis postoffice that is not found in many Government institutions. There is @ seeme ing desire among the employes to work toe gether, to the common good and the come mon end. Altogether, the 6t. Louls poste effice is a model.

RANE PERRY of 2829 Chrstnut street walked F out of a secoud-story window at his home while asleep is is the latest case of in- jury to a sieep-waiker, but there has re- cently been an exiraordinary number of cases. Dr. Arthur BE. Mink says sompambulism is due to Bervous, and plysical debility and may easily be eured with a proper treatment, By DR. ARTHUR E, MINK. OMNABULISM as well as all other S disturbances of sleep, is nearly always due to nervous or physica! debility or morbid conditions of various organs and the wise physician will usually be enabled to cure such cases by proper care and treat- ment. A somnambulist should never be allowed to sleep alone, and should be closely watched at night. He should always sleep on the ground floor. A good shaking ora dash of cold water usually suffices to wake them. In my opinion somnambulism is due to a sort of chronic physiologic congestion of the eolandic area of the cerebral cortex, which is the center which controls the mus- cles used in sleep-walking. The gray matter of the surface of the cere. bral hemispheres, in which is situated about one billion nerve cells, is the organ or seat of consciousness. Here sensations are reg- istered, When a simple or complex sensa- tion is registered it leaves behind a latent image or copy, which, when revived, con- stitutes the memory of that sensation or its idea. Sensations and memories of sensa- tions are the units which compose the mind. Now the various sensory surfaces of the body a@e duplicated in certain centers, sit- uated in the cortex or gray matter of the SUMMER GIRL HER OWN MANIC fis not necessary to take a manicure set | away for summer use; in fact, mani- cure cases, with rare exceptions, usually contain more implements for orna- ment than use.

To take perfect care of the hands one re- quires a very few simple implements and five minutes’ time six days in the week. A nalji-clipper should be used in the place of the curved scissors. The clippers never cre- ate agnails, commonly called hangnalils. Never use a sharp instrument under the mails.

Touch and muscular sensa- tions are registered in the area dotted in the diagram, sight sensations in the occi- pital convolutions, sound sensations in the temporal convolutions. Sensations of smell are registéred near the tip of the temporal] lobes and the same may be said of tastes. Now actual experiment has shown that paleness or anemia of the hemispheres produce sleep. In our waking life the cortex or gray matter of the hem- ispheres is in a flushed or what we may term a physiologic congested condition. When the brain becomes only partially pale, leaving only certain parts of the cor- tex congested; there results a condition of partial sleep or dreaming. Such being the case, whatever memories are stored up in the congested areas, will be revived. Revivals brought about in this way may be termed healthy hallucinations. Some dreams are illusory in fiature, for instance, the prick of a pin or a slight pain may cause us to dream .of being stabbed. Dif- ficulty of breathing, caused by a full meal, often induces one to dream of being buried alive or having a mountain on our chest, Dizziness resulting from indigestion may cause us to dream of falling from a great height or of flying. Numbness of a limb may cause dreams of paralysis. When we have in dreams visions of some impending calamity, accompanied by re- vivals of motor memories, sufficient merely to make us conscious of our helplessness, we term it nightmare. In nightmare we can often observe feeble muscular movements. Somnambulism is a form of dreaming, in which the reproduc- $$$ a tion of motor meories is so intense and dominating as to pass into complete and apparently voluntary muscular movements; especially those of walking. Besides sleep walkers there are many sleep-talkers. In them the reproduction of motor memories is limited to those connected with the mechanism of articulate speech. The dom- inant thoughts or scenes of ones waking life are prone to recur in dreams for this reason, that the cortical areas which sub- serve these thoughts are in a atate of physiologic congestion, which persists dur. ing sleep. So prisoners dream of freedom, the starv- ing of feasts, the avaricious of wealth. The ‘doctor dreams of his patients and the law- yer of his clients, the merchant of his busi- ness, etc. There is a great analogy be- tween dreaming and insanity, for a lunatic is simply one who dreams while wide awake, RESCUING A SLEEP-WALKER HANGING FROM A WINDOW. } —— URE, the cuticle knife; no external application will cure them, Once a Week Enough.

CIENTISTS of the West are greatly interested In the mummified remains of a giant woman and a child supposed to have belonged to a prehistoric race found in @ cave in the Yosemite Valley, in South- ern California, and now in possession of the Kansas State Historical Society, at To- peka. It was found by G. F. Martindale of Scranton, Kan,, who, with a party of friends, was in the Yosemite Valley on @ pleasure expedition. ‘he discovery was made by accident. The members of the party were in a ravine and were resting from their exertions. One of the party began prying up the stones along the side of the ravine, which was covered with mors and grass. A hole was discovered, and upon further Investigation a hermeticaliy sealed cave of large dimen- gions was revealed. - It was in this cave that the mummified re- mains of the woman and child were found, Mr. Martindale says that the cave was evidentiy sealed up by a race of people at so remote a period that the accumulation of years of Geposits had destroyed ail signs of the existence of the cave. The woman ¢ Vidently belonged to a race long since extinct. The mummy measures geven feet six inches in heigh and has many characteristics not possessed by any race of people now Known, Scientists and siudnts of archeology in Kansas are greatly puzzied over what niohe ins the world’s history to place this woman, Some even go 58”Y far 4&8 to express the beilef that ene was full grown before Adam ever saw the light of day. in this connection it will be remembered that Augustus le Piongeon, in his work en- titled ‘Sacred Mysteries Amorg the og ben . ; Quiches,”” traces the origin of the hu- and ace pack 11.50 years, to @ race of mas renich he locates in Central America re uthern Mexico, which Is contiguous ey to tbat in which this mummy was found . of a prehistor’c race in that ae non of the country is ee tte th my wy made a few years a ; diacovey ool eignor 8.

The mummy was taken from California to Kansas in a long box, somewhat resem- bling a coffin. It was presented to the Kansas State Historical Society by Mr. Martindale, and has since been viewed by scientists and archeologists from various parts of the West. Professor Winslow Anderson, who, In come nection with William Irelan, State minefe alogist of Callfornia, made an investigatiog of the mummies mentioned, and the caves in which they were found, says: “From our best geological and archeolee gical data the American aborigines are sup- posed to antedate our an*hrepothagous afte cesiors from the wilds of Asia by many thousands of veers.

HE aged inmates of the Memorial Home at Grand and Magnolia ave- mnues cannot go to the seashore or mountains for the summer like more for- ¢unate St. Louisans, but they enjoy them- @elves quite as well. Summer is the most delightful season of the year for them, and its warmth and gunshine from which 60 many flee are pleasant to them, because they drive from their blvod the chill which old age brings and cause it to flow faster in their veins, reviving for a while their was‘ing strength and energy. Summer also brings an end to the long confinement to warm rooms mhich the uncertain weather of other sea- gons makes necessary. It means strolls among the shade trees, quiet naps upon the grass and such out-of-door exercise as they care to take and can endure. There are few more attractive places in Gt. Louis at this season of the year than the Home. It is now assuming its most inviting aspect, and a summer day epent there is full of interest. The Home stands at the rear of a great lawn thickly set with trees and planted with flowers. The landscape is ag pleas- ing as one could wish to look upon, and it is upon this delightful lawn that the in- matea of the home spend the greatsr part of the summer days. There are no amusements at the Home fn -the way of games except cards, but eeats are placed in the most pleasant spots of the well-kept lawn and the residents gather in groups about these and pass the time in conversation or reading. The Home is provided with an excellent li- brary, and many of the inmates are great readers. These prefer books to conver- gation, and may be seen at any hor of the day reading in their favorite plaée on the lawn. Each inmate has a nogk he likes best, and the others respect his choice and never molest him when he pfetires there unless they are specially invited to share it with him. Sometimes there is a game of cards in the smoking room or on the lawn, as the players choose, but few of the inmates find much pleasure !n whist and high-five, and the cards are n Religious services are held twice every day —morning and evening—and some of the inmates take their turns in assisting in the devotional exercises. The subject which is most frequently dis- cussed by the residents of the Home is “Other Days.”’ There is nothing in the present that tnterests them, and they only find pleasure in talking of what they did in thelr younger days. But most of them read the newspapers closely and are in- formed on current topics. The Home has 73 inmates. The oldest is Mrs. Bilen Bruen, who was born in New Jersey August 17, 180%. She entered the home seven years ago,: with her husband, Joseph Bruen, who died a year later. She is very feeble and very rarely leaves her room. Sh has almost lost her hearing and talks with difficulty. She sits In an easy chair day after day, waiting, as she says, for the end to come. She says she likes the Home, but finds no pleasure in life since her husband 4ied, W. R. Davis is the oldest man tn the Home, that distinction falling upon him after the death of J. A. P. Haynes a few months ago at the advanced age of 110 years. Mr, Davis was born in Boston, Mass., March 17, 1810. He came to St. Louis in 1852 and engaged in merchandising, continuing his business until 14 years ago, when he decided to enter the Home. He is the joker of the institution, and says he finds great pleasure in arranging pranks to play upon some of the inmates who do not like a joke, and especially when they are the victims. “Once in a while we get a g00d laugh out of a joke, but that doesn’t happen often,”’ said he. “‘We area pretty gloomy set here, and frivolity of any kind is con- sidered sinful. My disposition is for jokes, but it makes me feel like an emissary of Satan in this place. Oldest Inmates of the Memorial Home for the Aged at Magnolia and Grand Avenues. ent condition is right.

He declares if he can live 100 years he will die satisfied. F. G. Griffith is one of the inmates of the Home, but he was the first person ad- mitted to it when it was thrown open. He is 68 years old, and entered the Home in 1882. He was born in Montgomery Coun- ty, Maryland, and came to 8t. Louls in 180. He was a clerk in a store for several years, and subsequently became owner of the store where he clerked. Afterwards he became a commercial traveler. He was injured in 1881 in a railroad accident and was forced to retire from business. Memorial Home was opened {tn 1882, and Mr. Griffith decided to enter it. He has been there continuously since and has not left it for a day. While Mr. Griffith {s proud of his dis- tinction as the first person admitted to the Home, he is prouder of the fact that he has not missed reading the Post-Dispatch a day since its first issue was printed, De- cember 12, 1878. “T have the honor of having read the Post-Dispatch every day since it came into existence. I have not missed an issue and I don’t Intend to be without it as long as I retain consciousness. It is the great- est paper I ever read, and I have never known it to take a stand that was not for the public good. It is fearless, nonpartl- also gives all the news in an entertain- ing style. I have read the Post-Dispatch so much that I regard it as my déarest friend. : “I have had a varied experience in 8t. Louis. I have been wealthy and have bulilt some fine homes in. some of the most ex- clusive residence districts of the city. But I couldn’t build one I could keep. Re- verses of fortune came as I began to grow old, and all my wealth slipped from my grasp. Now I must pass my days here in a char‘table institution. It is a bitter plll to swallow, but I must accept it.” The rules of the Home provide that no one under 60 years of age shall be ad- mitted. But Mr. Griffith was crippled and @ special exception was made for his case. The Home was established in 1882 by the Woman's Christian Association of this city. It is intended for aged men, and women are excluded unless they are admitted with their husbands. Those women now there are the wives of inmates or widows of for- mer ones. The admission fee for a man {Is $100 and for husband and wife $150. That is the only charge made, the inmate be- ing kept during the remainder of his life at the association’s expense. The associ- ation receives its funds from private con- tributions and usually gets through the year without a deficit. In addition to the Memorial Home, it also-maintains the Women's Christian Home, at 1814 Wash- ington avenue; Women’s Training School, 1728 Locust street; Blind Girls’ Home, 1214 North Garrison avenue; Travelers’ Aid De- partment, and White Cross Home, 1336 North Garrison avenue. . © —.

Have you ever thought why it ts that gome colored men do not doff their hats to white ladies? Well, as mild as 1 can put it, it is moral cowardice. They are afraid of being branded by a low grade of their own race as “white folks’ niggers.”’ It is to be remembered that tn the days of slavery they were taught to take their hats off dn the presence of ladies and gentlemen, hence, they have ever held that it was re- quired to show a sort of humility. Many of them held their hats under their arms or dropped them on the steps, door-sill or wherever they might be standing or sitting. Those who have not yet learned that it is ea high mark of the gentleman to doff his bat when saluting ladies or uncover the head when in their immediate presence. If they were to see or hear of another negro doing the like, they then and there mark him, ““white folks’ nigger.”’ Yet this same ignorant fellow thinks himself a smart Garky. The only thing the writer sees to be done for this fellow. Is to instruct him, bear with him and be charitable towards him.

When young it covers itself with particles of dust and fuzzy material, re- sembling a smal] mass of lint walking about, and thus gets its name ‘masked.’ As°* a hunter of its smaller relative, the bedbug, it is a decided success; but as #H seems to be bugs which have filled themselves with human blood, and ag it is a'so ‘oecasionally found in beds where no’ bedbugs occur, it-is naturally looked upon ewith suspicion.

This insect is Known to the nat- uralist as Opsicoetus (or Reduvius) per- sonas, fondest of those is with rather. “There are. several other assassin bugs to which the finger of suspicion May properly point. One is the blood-sucking cone-nose, Conorhinus sanguisuga, which hag achieved a decided reputation as a drinker of human blecd. it is commen in the West and South, where it attacks horses, cattle and poultry, and getting into beds is called the big bedbug. : ‘Still another-is thé black assassin bug, which the entomologists of the Department of Agriculture at Washington think may be the kissing bug, but in my opinion with hardly suffitient evidence. This is the meianolestes picipes. whose name has been so’ frequently quoted in newspapers in this connection. , The insect, though sometimes attracted ‘by light, is somewhat rare, is found. in places removed from human abodes, and may be said to be rather un- domestic. . “‘We ought not to lose sight of the mos- quito in this connection. The bité¢s of this annoying pest ult much more seriously with some persons than with others. It is not at all unlikely that mosquito bites have sometimes been mistaken for bug kisses. “T saw an account of a little girl having been attacked by an insect supposed to be the kissing bug.

It is active In its movements, ané unlike the slow assassin’ bugs, runs quite rapidly. It is fond of dead animal and vegetable matter, and its bite may thus carry poison by inoculation, as the mos- quito is known to do, ° ‘Two other instances are known to me of persons attacked by this beetle. sitting on his step near an electric light, felt something crawiing on his neck, and before he could dislodge the intruder was bitten by what proved to be a Harpalus, The wound was trifling, smarted a few min- utes and itched longer.

The craft shot through the water at a terrific speed, esti- mated. by Ames and Graham at ® knots, but they steadied the skiff, momentarily expecting to reach Honolulu, when finatly the larger of the two sharks with an extra spurt,’tore loose from the hook and dis- apeared. The smailer shark stopped, apparently exhaws ed, when the fishermen taking ad- vantage of the opportunity offered them, rowed alongside, dealing it a terrible biow on the head with the club and stabbing It several times in vital spots with a lance fixed on the end of a pole.

On the rolis now are 40,60 names. The output of the league in reprints of speeches and articles, in brvadsides contain- ing quotations from all pogsible sources, liv- ing and dead, from George Washington to Mr. Dovley, and in original pamphlets by in- dividual members, is enormous. Bundles of these publications, with 6000 addresses, have been removed by expressmen, until the total has mounted up to at least half a miNion during the last six months. ‘The funds come from small sums remit- ted by individual members,"’ said Mr. Wins- low. ‘“‘Mr. Carnegio is eur only large con- tributor. But every member of the league sends in a dollar for the engraved. certiii- cate of membership, and many have far- warded small sums, according to. their means.”” Concerning the beliefs of the Anti-Im- perialists, Mr. Winslow said: We .are all at unison in claiming that when President McKinley declared war against the Philippines, for his proclama- tion virtually amounted to that, he com- mitted an act that was absolutely without precedent, an impeacheable act, that he as- sumed «a responsibility greater than any President before him dared to assume, and one entirely without warrant in the con- stitation.

We do not believe in @ permanent government for conquered col- onies that is neither State nor territorial, and absolutely hostile to the spirit of re publican institutions. We do not want a ruler who is President of the United States and Emperor of the Phillipines, for that is what events, if unchecked, must lead to. We cannot have one form of government in the United States and another in Cuba and the Philippines. We protest against aRy imitation of British monarchical rule. For, despite its apparent democracy in details, Great Britain is essentially a monarchy. Our government progresses from the lowest. to the highest. The British works down from the highest to the lowest. Edward Atkinson, who sent out the anti- imperialist literature to soldiers in the Phil- ippines, which documents were confiscated by the Government, said: We will win; we must win; we can’t help winning—if not in the present Congress, then in the next. We are the dominant mi- ~ WARD... pv ATRIN SON, nority in the country, the minority that rep- resets the conscience ef the counry. William Lloyd Garrison, a prominent worker in the anti-imperialist cause, hag written the following sonnet to the Fili- pino leader: AGUINALDO. Thine, Aguinaldo, is the common fate Of all who seek, in Freedom's holy cause, Deliverance from foreign yokes and laws, Against a foe of overwhelming weight. Thou bast great compeers of an earlier date, Toussaint, Bozzaris, Kosciusko, men Misunderstood, maligned, defeated, then Immortalized among the brave and great. Take heart and comfort if thy soul be sad. Not lost nor wasted thy heroic stafd: Thou hast unmasked a nation falsely clad In altruistic garb, revealed a land Blind to distinctions between good and bad, And smiting Liberty with ruthless band. Mr. Atkinson is the most agareasive of all the anti-imperialists. Hie chief work as alreadv noted is done on his individual motion. It is neither imdorsed nor repu- diated by the league as a league. Doubt- less many of the members look upon the violence and virulence of .Mr. Atkinson's vituperation of the government as impo- litic, if not actually seditious. That these and other fiery doings of the league or of its members are largely re- sponsible for keeping alive the ineurgent sentiment in the Philippines is now evi- dent. from thé reports of Col, Denby, Gen. eatin VERYONE IS PLAYING i. @., “the two more,” your next stroke will be **the one off two;"’ if ‘three more’’—‘‘the one off three;"’ and so on.

His parents turned over the pages of the Good Bock until they came to the name of Elihu. For some in- scrutable reason they bestowed it upon their son. Elihu means “God, the Lord.” Mr. Reot Is 66 ‘years old. His family have lived in Central New York for mure than a century. He was born in the village of Clinton, Oneida County, New York. His ancestors have been noted as law- yers, journalists and men of education, His nephew, Walstein Root, now a cor- respondent in Cuba, distinguished himself as @ newspaperman in St. Louis, princi- paily by his connection with the Post-Dis- pateh. Elihu Root, Mike most of his kinsmen, !s slight framed and sharp featured, He has a keen, shrowd eye. His jaw is firmly set. His air is self-possessed and business- like. He knows what he knows. He hag lived in New York City many years and has made a fortune as a corpora- tion lawyer. His income is $3,000 a year. He never sought a political office. He wants to be United States Senatom He has been accused by newspapers and legislators of using money to have passed bills in which he was interested. He has never said a word in reply to accusations‘of this kind. 3 He has been President of the Union League Club of New York, the biggest Re- publican organization in the United States. For years he bought the influence of Senator Platt in New York, but recently became one of Gov. Roosevelt's advisers. He is.counsel for the gigantic street rail- way syndicate of New York, organized & few months ago by William C. Whitney. Mr. Root’s manners are charming. His speech is suave and gentle, witty and gocl- able. He was United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 1883 to 1885.

He became a lawyer in 1867. His whole career has been that of a cor- poration lawyer. He was ected for Secretary of War, it is said, cause President McKinley be- lieved that with his conduct of the affairs of that office he will combine great legal foresight into the difficulties confronting the Administration in the control of our new colonies. Mr. Root is friendly to the interests of Gen, Nelson A. Miles, who was antagonized by Secretary Alger. ‘Mr. Root first came into.prominence in 1873, at the age of 30 years, as one of the counsel for the infamous ‘‘Boss” Tweed of New York. He was associated with Will- lam Fullerton, John Graham, Willard O. Bartlett, William Bartlett and William Dg- gieston. All of these lawyers joined in a request to Judge Noah Davis to send thea oase to Some other judge, on the claim that their client could not get a fair trial before Judge Davis, Fullerton, Graham and Willard O. Bart- lett were each fined -$50 by Judge Davis. He supposed the younger men, Root, E«- leston and William Bartlett, had merely ollowed in the footsteps of their sen‘ors and let them off with @ stinging censure, He said in part: I ask you young tlemen to reme r that pa | faith to 5” client never ong tify or require bad faith to your own con- science, and however good a thing it may be to be known as a4 successful and great lawyers, it is even a better thing to be known as honest men, and that there is no incompatibility whatever in the posses- sion of both of these titles, In 186, when the New York State Senate was investigating the Jake Sharp Broadway franchise steal Mr. Root was counsel for many of the stockholders of the road. As the franchise had been granted ille- gaily, the question arose whether the fran- chise belonged to the people or to the gtock- holders. Mr. Root contended with all his ability that the franchise did not revert to the pub- lic but belonged to the stucknulders. This fight led to Mr. Root being made counsel of the Broadway Traction Company when that corporation secured control of the road, and subsequently to his being made counsel of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company. An € was made tn 1892 by the people of Massachusetts to have the operations of the Whisky Trust declared illegal.

Second—It authorized the company not only to oceupy public streets and grounds and to dig up private lands at will, but to seize and hold forever, under the law of eminent domain, any or every piece of prop- erty it might happen to want. Third—It set aside the State law against trust conspiracies in behalf of the come- pany, which specifically was authorized to absorb all the other gas and ~ ens: come nies into a single great trust, "hee. Root drew the police bill introduced in the New York Legisiature last Febru- ary, which was defeated. — Gonates George R. Malby, a Republican, says of him: “Mr. Root is resourceful in drafting po- lice bills. 1 recall that when I was Speak- er of the Asesmbly, in 18%, he drew four different police measures for New York®, and then refused to support any one 0 them.”’ When the Mazet investigating commit- tee was appointed by the New York Legis- lature the Democratic members of the Aas- sembly made an effort to have Elihu Root and Senator Platt’'s law firm—Tracy, Boardman & Platt—included in the scope of the in Vomtipakies. The resolutions Introduced by Assemblye man Harburger were as follows: Resolved, That in the opfpion of this Flouse the pernicious influence of the po litical firm of Tracy, Boardman & Piatt re-inforced by Elihu’ Root, has subjected the Chairman of the Cities Committee, Robert Mazet, to introdace bills and rese- lutions injurious to the best interests of Greater New York; therefore, be it Resolved, That the resolations offered ty the Chairman of the Cittes Committee be - amended to inquire the amounts of money these firms have received during the sem sion for fathering and ilebbying politi measures before the various committees this Legislature. These resolutions were defeated by @! arty vote, as also was an amendment tne roduced by Assemblyman Rierdon, whic? directed the comsnittee: To furtter ascertain and report whether or not the chairman of the Republican State Committee of the State of New York, the chairman of the Repubitcan County Committe tee of the County of New York, the law 6 of Tracy, Boardman & Piatt, and Elihe bad utilised the Speaker's room during t debate op the Astoria gas bill for the por pose of making corrupt conti t comtracts® with membere of the Assembly for their votes In favor of that measure.

N OLD KENTUCKY there are no braver | fighters than the Philpots of Clay County. Now that they have become stirred and gone to shooting, no man can forsee the termination of the deadiy Baker- Howard feug, into which the feud for two years existing between the Philpots and the Griffins and Morrises has been merged. Five gamer men than the Philpots—Ples, Sr., Granville, George, Carl and Peter— never lived. In the battle last week be- tween the Philpots and their enemies young Peter Philpot shot off the top of Aaron Morris’ head and put several bullets into his body before he fel] from his horse. And Peter is only 21 years old. Granville Philpot, who was dangerously injured at that time, served a term in the Kentucky Legislature. While there he gave vent to an expresgion which has become historic, The member from Harlan County was opposing some measure in which Philpot was interested and, wishing to illustrate the utter insignificance of the Harlan mem- ber, Mr. Philpot said: If the people of Harlan County had a- knowed it they had just as well rit a letter as to send you down here to represent them. Lee T. Philpot, another member of the faction, a nephew of Granville, belonged to Roosevelt’s Rough Riders. The Philpots have always been nihien, Several of them have killed men, but mostly under justifiable circumstances, The present feud commenced two lyears ago, when some difficulty arose between Aaron Mprris and John P. Philpot. . Christ- mas Day, 1897, Morrts, his father-in-law, Bill Bundy; Green Griffin and Hugh, his brother, went into a store on House Creek. Jim Craw and FPecter and Piles Philpot passed and made a slurring remark. Aaron promptly shot Craw dead. A general shoot- ing followed, and Bundy was kiied. For this Morris was sentenced to 2 years in jail. He got a retrial and was acquitted, Swearing vengeance against all the Phil- pots, especially Robert, Peter and George, he set out to find them, A few years ago George, Peter and Rob- ert Philpot and Ed Fisher started out to haul logs. Soon they met a Deputy Shertff, who served a warrant on Robert Philpot to appear as a witness. Just then the enemy appeared. The arena of battle was a small cpening, 200 by 50 feet, in a dense forest, shut in by high hills, with stumps, logs and lumbering debris about. Instantly Morris, Hugh, Harvey and Green Griffin jumped from their horses, Then Morris put a bullet in Robert Phil- pot’s back. Peter Philpot shot Morris through the head. Before George and Peter could reach Fisher he had fallen back of a large stump, literally shot to pieces. Si- multaneously Hugh Griffin toppled over dead with two bullets in him. Only Harvey and Green Griffin and Pete and George Philpot were left. A terrific fy- sillade was kept up by the quartette and Harvey fell mortally wounded. Soon a shot from Pete erashed through Harvey's skull, killing him and tearing Green's left hip open as he lay beside him. Then all was still, The tremendous racket soon brought a acore of mounta'‘neers, and the bodies were carried home. It is believed that the Mor- ris-Philpot feud had its origin in the White- Baker quarrel and that more bloodshed is certain to follow. Many non-combatants have left homes, abandoning their crops, and many others as can will leave soon. The Philpots have 52 armed horsemen, and no one knows how many footmen. The Morris and 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 Ba- kers have made common cause with the Philpots. If Sheriff “Bev’’ White and his deputies, mostly relatives, as officers of the law put any hardships on the Philpots as a result of the recent battle, it will stir up the old hatred between the families, and there will be a mountain war of the first-class, for their as THE FIGHTING PHILPOTS OF KENTUCKY, NEW FACTORS IN THE CLAY COUNTY FEUDS if the Philpots get into the Gght In there will be more desperate battles, 4 the fighting will not take on the anes bushwhacking. .

Every man carried a rifle or a shotgun besides a big revolver. Their guns wer not demanded, and the business of the” court was carried on with all holding firlie ly to thelr weapons. : The fighting Philpots are unlike many other fighting families ,in that they do not seek trouble. In all their many fights they have been absolutely on the defene sive, Rather than to bring on trouble they have persistently refused to become the @t~ tacking party, even when their lives ®av@ been in jeopardy, and they have always waited for their enemies to open the Date tles. But after the fights are started the Philpots do not hesitate to do that which they conceive to be their full duty, and that is to kill as many of the enemy &8 p08- — sible. They do not become excited under fire, and they are on that Account able to handle their weapons with accuracy effectiveness. Unlike other mountain fight+ ers, the Philpots do not fight from amc bush. They believe in open battles ,and they are willing to give their enemies @ 3 fair show for their lives. Fighting is the last thing the Philpots want to do, but when there is no other alternative, they make war with a vigor and completeness that is truly refreshing to those who be- lieve in the eurvival of the fittest. = Personally, the Philpots ere among the most hospitable and good-natured citizens — of Bastern Kentucky and they treat s ers with the greatest consideration i kindness. They are good neighbors, friends, Out dangerous and uncomp ing foes. A BALLOON oe Md ~* \ aes ae L, eA Gh PARIS, July 2. Special Correspondence Sunday Post-Dispatch. BALILOON RACE—something new, A even for Paris—was given this week under the augPices of the Aero Club de France. Society was out in full force, gaily caparisoned. There were six com- petitors out of ten entries. One of these was a woman, Mme. Savor, who stood in the basket of M. Lantos Drumont’s “Vol- ga,"’ with 'M. Delattre as assistant. The others were M. le Comte de la Vaulx. in “Le Centaure;” M. de Castillon de Bt. Victor, in ‘* L’Aero Club; M. Hervieu, in ““L’Aeor;” M.

Though he paid strict attention to the brokerage business, he was at his eta- tistics early and late. After 16 years of work Mr. Harriman felt that he had suf- ficiently mastered details to enable him to run a railroad successfully. He hit upon the Illinois Central for operations.

The terminals of the road in Chi- cago, Cairo and New Orleans were poor. The gauge of the road was not standard.

Negier. +o My father would have found in your life material for ten rattling movels of adventure. General, you are the only musketeer left in this flat century.—Alexander Dumas, the younger, to Gen. Gal- liffet, French Minister of War. PARIS, July 20. Bpecial Correspondence of Sunday Post-Dispatch. ELL built and supple, with san- guine complexion, burning eyes and martial mustache: 67 years old, but always “just down from his sad- dile;"’ a reckless soldier who has carved his way through the thickest battles, yet can Bummon at will the most exquisite polish of a nobleman of Louls XIV.—that is Gen. the Marquis de Galliffet, Minister of War, the Man of the Hour tn France and one of the most remarkable characters of the century. De Galliffet has brought order out of the Dreyfus chaos by force of the most vigor- ous personality in France. His mere pres- ence, his reputation as a disciplinarian— even the sinister memory of the days when, by the languid wave of his hand, he sent the leaders of the Paris Commune to be shot— have restored order where France seemed drifting upon anarchy. Fate has delighted in providing oppor- tunities for Galliffet. He fought in France, in Russia, in Italy, where did he not fight? He went through Mexico and on his prowess in Africa books have been writ- ten. He was one of the most dashing figures of the second empire, the most brililant general of the third republic; his career finds its historian; the writer will unfold a long recital of fabulous feats, of extraor- dinary love affairs, wild wagers, insane duels, incredibly senseless challenges to death. As a boy Galliffet wanted to enter Bt. Myr, the West Point of France. His Mar- quis father protested. The young man, not to be balked of his e@areer, entered the First Hussars as a pri- vate. Now he is gone! Watch him! From Bow on nothing will stop that young man. Smiling. good-humored and careless of > gisk, he will conquer everything at the point ef the sword, promotions, honors, the love | af women, the cannon of the enemy. And everywhere on his passage a mixed bag. perfume will trail wickedness and heroism. Hach branch of discipline, each ecrape that | threatens ruin, he will efface by avbdrilliant * Dr. Galliffet the leutenant—promotion > ame quickly—one night scaled the wails ot his barracks to play Romeo to some juliet of his garrison town, Phe velcony was on tho third story, but eee. ts Ter rae oa Tee Sc. , = 4 .. 2 «* phy Romeo, by the aid of vines, cornices and a friendly lghtning-rod—above all by dint of previous practice—reached it safely. His captain was there, Capt. Lourdey. The name is remembered only as the name of a man killed by Galliffet. Lourdey was gazing at the stars with the Jullet of Galliffet, which shows that the lady must have been worth climbing to see, fickle though she was. The young Marquis objected with vehemence; his superior of- ficer turned his head a little. and calmly said: “Lieutenant, to-night you are out against orders; I order you to report forthwith to the officer of the guard and request him to keep youin prison until my further instruc- tions.’’ The Marquis had to climb the railing and recede along the lightning rod. Juliet and her other Romeo watched h'm down, They laughed audibly. Probably it was the laugh that Galliffet could never forgive. He was liberated in a week and chal- lenged Capt. Lourdey, who sneered: “I am your superior and will not conde- scend to fight with you." “T am not only a Lieutenant, sir; I am the Marquis de Galliffet, the equal of any man. You shall pay for this slight when you pay for the rest."’ Which remark was worth more pr'son for the young man. When he came out again his first revenge was to win Juliet from the Captain. That made Lourdey wiiling to meet the Lieuten- ant. The horrible dwql they fought with cav- alry swords remained legendary. CGailif- fet was almost hacked to pieces. They car- ried him away with an arm cut to the bone, his right flank open, and with another mur- derous gash from his left shoulder to his right side. But he had killed the man who had imposed on him the affront of the lightning-rod descent. Noble exploits were Galliffet's in the Cri- mean war. Gaid an English colonel of him: ‘There is not a man ‘n our army who does not wish you were at the head of one of our regiments.” It was Galliffret who led the historical assault on the Green Hill and won by his gnilant conduct a decoration upon the Dat- ticfield. There was a lady also. high society of Paris; had met Gallifet there and followed him to the seat of war, but was not allowed to cross the French Mnes. Galiffet learned of her presence near by. Russian outposts and challenges bad for him no terrors. He went alone into the enemy's country to meet the lady and next morning came safely back, smiling, in time for reveille. These things known and other things whispered, made the life of the handsome young officer, when he came to Paris be- tween two campaigns, a continuous tri- umpb. Women loved heroic young war- She was of the IS A riors then as they do now, and the ladies of honor of Evgenie vied with one another in their efforts to attack Galliffet’s atten- tron. Ah! he fairly walked on roses and trampled upon buds in those days, The Marquis never tarried long at the capital, however, for France was in belli- cose humor. His spurs were ringing in all localities and the tales of his pluck were broucht from the front, wherever that hap- pened to be. Take for instance, his crazy jump from the high bridge into the Rhine. Galliffet had wagered that he could plunge into the iver with his horse and swim ashore with- cut losing his seat in the saddle. Perhaps it was not worth wining, at life’s risk, but he .won. War led De Galliffet to this continent. The Emperor was taking advantage of our civil disturbance to place Maximillan of Austria upon a balloon-framed throne in Mexico. The Mexicans objected. One of their ob- jections, at Puebla, took the place of an exploding shell which tore De Gall'ffet’s ab- cdomen open, exposing more of his vital machinery than was pleasant. Here was a exploding shell which tore De Galliffet met it by pressing his hat over the gaping wound and walking to the flei’d ambulance com- plete if sad:y damaged. At the Tuileries Empress Eugenie was taking a sherbet when she was told that far sunburnt part of America, Galliffet’s comrades ran daily through tne fusillades of the enemy to go into the mountains and get the snow necessary to keep frightful wound cool. She put down her glass and pronounced: “We shall never take ices again until the Marquis de Galliffet 1s out of danger.” So you see that, too galiant to deprive his lady sovere'gn of cool drinks, De Galiiffet really had to get well. But he would have done it in any case. He came back to France with a silver door on that side of him which was never turned away from a foe—the famous silver shield made necessary by his wound. ‘“‘Sil- ver Bellied Galliffet’’ has been his nickname since, That was 3% years or more o From that day to th’s, as the London orld well says, “his physical existence is a work of le A é But do not,suppose that his wound kept him quiet. Soon he was fighting a sensa- tional duel with Prince Murat. Next he had returned to Mexico. There, in a skir- mish, two spent balls rattled against his shield. “They'll have to shells if they want to kill me, to an officer who stood near by. One year later, at an official dinner in Paris, Napoleon ITI. was saying that silver was getting cheaper and cheaper, when Gal- liffet exclaimed: “Aah. that’s why our Prime Minister is so sad. He lent me some money recently, and he knows that my plaque is his only se- curity.” It was at Sedan, the battle already lost, when Gen. Ducrot cried hie famous order: “We're lost! Now, Gaillffet, a last ef- fort for the honor of our arms!” Galliffet, wiping his bloody sword on his sleeve, replied, coolags ever: “Anything you suy, General!” With this he led bis squadrons in a ewoop- away, in a his lercin he iaughe use armor- MODERN D'ARTAGNAN ing, fantastic, terrific charge which drew cries of astonishment and au.airation from the King of Prussia, Bismarck and the German staff aseembied on the hill...

As he galloyed back with what remained of the Third Light Cava'iry, Gal- liffet with the point of his sword picked up from the fleld a General's kept, which he planted on his head, saying to Ducrot: “I deserve it, don’t I?"’ A few cays after he sent a request for an interview with the imperial prisoner and Signed it “Gen. de Galliffet."" Napo.eon II. wrote opposite that daring s6ignature ‘““granted.”’ But the republic had already been pro- claimed, and Galliffet had to win the title a second time. From captivity in Germany Galliffet went home to command part of.the army of Ver- sailles; to fight Frenchmen. The Paris commune, backed by the rough eiement of a great city, defled the national power. Germans had taken Paris from French- men; Frenchmen were now to take it from other Frenchmen with tenfold -cruelty.

You can capture three or four hundred national guards; they do not expect to be attacked so goon."’ As the General drew near the Berger'es instead of three or four hundred, he ‘found three or four thousand soldiers waiting for him He could not withdraw. 7 Galliffet began to chew his and growled: “We're as good corpses.”’ But he kept moving forward; and sud- denly came the saving idea. He stopped his troop and called to his aide-de-camp L'eut: Bernard d'Harcourt: “Follow me.” Quite alone they advanced at a leisurely trot. The insurgents deployed in w haf circie to eapture them. And no captive lived. Lieut. d'Harcourt lit a cigarette and said: “General, have a smoke: we’ never return from this.”’ When they came within hearing the ®o| onel_ of the communarcés demanded: “What do you want within our lines’? ‘Listen,’ answered Galliiffet, reining his horse, ‘‘so far there has not been a bullet: fired between Paris and Versailles If yoy surrender, all will be pardoned. If you per- sist. to-morrow w.ll see the beginning of a fight without quarter. Now choose. _]’j] take your answer to the President. Indignant clamors and threats answeref his speech. Galliffet was waiting with folded arms and defilant mien. Lieut. d'Harcourt continued to whiff at his cigar- rette. At last the Colonel of the communards rode forth. ‘Say to M. Thiers that we :e- fuse to surrender.” “Very well, Sir.” With this curt answer the two envoys wheeled about. The horse of Lieut. d'Har- court tried to canter, but Galliffet ordered: “Curb that beast, nom de Dieu! They'll believe we're afraid.” When they got back to the four squad- rons Galliffet made them face about, and took every man of his rather numerous escort back to Versailles, which no one had expected to see again. When at last the national troops over- powered the Commune, there was no quar- ter. It was a cera on the spur of the moment, had promised. Day after day, as the Presidential lines closed about the heart of Paris, trembling bands of Communards were brought before Gallifet. As one after another group filed before him, this man of tron moved lan- guidly his white right hand that had smit- ten so many, and the slow moving of it meant: “Oh, take them away; take them way.

The salt water should not be left upon the skin to dry, particularly upon the skin of the face, arms, neck and hands, therefore a cold fresh shower is advised after the plunge. | Before entering the water one should first wet the hands} then the brow, jthen the remainder of the face and the chest. With- ushes to the head and produces disfigurements in the way of red blotches on the) face as well as vertigo. : Fifteen minutes is long enough for » healthful bath. | When Bathing Is Followed by Erup- tions. It sometimes happ€ns that sea bathing will produce a crop of eruptions on the face. Where this is so it is an indication that the salt water does not agree with, the sub- ject. Such eases are very exceptional, but they do occur. The sea bath should not then be repeated. | Some women fancy that sea) bathing takes the place of fresh water qblutions. This is rea.ly not 60. At the sd¢aside as well as at eyery other place cleanliness of the most exquisite Kind is repaid by beauty of the skin as well as by the henlth and vigor of the subject. No bath in salt or fresh water will take the place of the night toflet. where hot water and soap are posi- tively required to remove all foreign par- ticles from the pores of the skin. Learn to Swim. Every woman shouid learn how to swim, and those who have not already acquired the art should make up their minds to do so, First of all if you are going to the seaside take your own bath.ng suit with you. Don't think of depending upon a costume or towels or anything else which is public property. Even salt Water cannot disinfect the bathing costumes that are too fre- quently worn by women and girls who are suffering from offensive skin diseases. Swimming is the very best of all exercises. There is no other which gives simulta- neously such well distributed action to all the muscles of the body. There is no more graceful exercise, and no other which en- tails such regular and large respiration and combines the hea.thful gymnast.cs, the de- ‘velopment of intellectual confidence which gives an additional keenness and deiight in life, The art of awimming depends upon a few rules, and it is quite possible to learn té swim without an instructor. One of the best women swimmers I ever knew never received @ lesson, but learned to swim and float with wonderful grace by merely practicing in shallow water until she had mastered the elements of the art. Best Way to Learn. One of the best ways of learning how to swim is to wade out until the water comes up rather high on the chest, then with a full in-drawing of the breath allow the body to sink backward, with thé head toward the shore until only the mouth afd nose are above the water. To learn to swim begin by gently sinking the body for- ward in the water, extending the arms their full length forward, keeping the fingers closed and the palms flat. Turn the palms er stroke to the r ght and left with each arm. The hands should not be sunk Geep under the water; the object is to keep the body as nearly horizontal as possible in the water and to propel it straightforward without raising it. As the arms are brought around in the semi-circular movement the lower limbs are st:ffened and brought firmly to- gether. The arm movement should not be more rapid tLan those of the legs. Unison in movement and regularity of stroke are indispensable. Don't be in a hurry or get excited, and try to make each stroke and kick precisely and completely and at the same time. Floating Is Easy. The art of floating is more easily ac- quired than that of swimming, and if it is learned first it is an aid in giving con- fidence, It is best, I think, shallow water, ‘or to learn to float in moderately shallow water; if the subject is timid some one should stand beside her and for the first few trials should place the hand firmly upder the base of the beginner’a spine ‘in such a way as to afford both physical as well as moral encouragement, Diving is a wonderful accomplishment, but it should never be attempted by the amateur. It demands courage and nerve, and no girl ehould try to dive until she is a fearless sewimmer—even then it is best to learn to dive from a comparatively slight elevation. If Headache Follows. Occasionally a sea bath will give one @ headache, in which case the person should leave the water immediately. The same is true in case of an attack of giddiness or coldness of the extremities. The practice of taking a stimulant before or after the bath ta a very bad and unwholesome one. Women in normal state of health do not require a stimulant either before or after a sea or fresh water bath. It is best to be provided with a bathing gown or wrap which one can fold about one’s self both for warmth and protection from the sands to the bathhouse. In Case of Cramps. At the slightest «eymptom of a cramp, which is eas‘iy recognised withowm a de- scription, call to some one to. ald you in heart, of both hands outward and make a strong leaving the water if kt you are - Bia Osten propel yourself or if for any reason | re think you may.not be able to reach t shore without assistance.

Perhaps it may Gey upon you to save some less skillful come ade from drowning. Poss'bly, if that @ portunity came you would be ak ely helpless because of your lack of knoe upon the art of life saving. It will do no harm anyway to be p in case of such an acident. Do not wait for the drowning person pene * rescue, for it is quite likely that he Wi not rise at all. Act immediately.

HE Illinois River Valley Association af is composed of land owners along the : Illinois River, and their friends. They are demanding the removal of the Govern- gent dams in the Illinois River, and that Chicago be compelled to compiy with the law in regard to her drainage canal. The placing of dams and locks in the Dilinois River at Kampsville and La Grange Dy the Federal Government in 1893 has caused the owners of bottom land along the river much loss and uneasiness. For mearly three years they have been trying to find some way whereby they could in- @uce Congress to remove the obstructions, But as yet all efforts havo resulted in mothing. Petitions from citizens and reso- lutions of the State Legislature have been placed before Congress, but that body has taken no action. When ex-Secretary of War Alger recent- fy visited Chicago and gave his consent to the people of that city to turn their Sewerage and water from Lake Michigan ,into the canal, the people of the Illinois River Valley were stirred to action and the meeting at Whitehall last week was to formulate a plan of action to prevent what they deem an outrage. The officere of this association are: E. @i. Husted, president, Roodhouse; R. H. Davis, vice-president, Carroliton; L. Low- enstein, vice-president, Whitehall; S. N.

" — 7 LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JULY 30, 1899 {SUMMER GARDEN — EEECECEC ET TTT HPRE was a eo00d deal of damp 4% weather last week, but the summer theaters did a good business. St. Louis people like their amusements al fresco and probably every garden in the city hag made money this season. But this doesn’t mean that there gs a fortune in the business for others. - Replying to an inquiry as to the compen- Bation of players in Garrick’s time, an English authority gives the following fig- ures: Garrick received 2 pounds, 15 shillings and 6 pence per night; Barry and his wife, 3 pounds, 6 shillings and 8 pence; Mrs. Pritch- ard, 2 pounds, 6 shillings and 8 pence; Mra. Cibber, 2 pounds and 10 shillings, and BSig- nor Guegstinelle, the principal singer, 1 pound, 13 shillings and 4 pence. Of the later generation. John Kemble, as actor and manager, was content with 66 pounde 6 shil- lings per week. Edwin Kean’'s first engage- ment, at Drury ‘Lane, in 1814, wae for three years, ranging from 8 to 10 pounds per week; that wag subsequently converted into @ contract for © pounds, or $260 per night. Eight years prior to this remarkable change in Kean's fortunes, in 1806, this actor was playing unnoticed at the Haymarket The- ater at 2 pounds per week. Twenty years later, at the game theater, he received 50 pounda when mentally and physically al- most a wreck, In 1838 Tyrone Power was receiving 9% pounds per week at the Adelphi, and Farren @ pounds at the Olympie. Dyer since what is sometimes called “the HUGHEY DOUGHERTY, The Veteran Mrnsirel, at the Suburban. vaudeville crage’’ developed in America there have been frequently expressed opin- ions that it could not and would not last. Let us eee how it has lasted in London, where what we know as vaudeville houses are cailed music halls. This form of amuse- ment is an old one in the British metropo- lis, and many more persons are employed in it than are employed ‘here in kindred en- tertainment. In a register of music hall performers of London for 1873, for instance, there were published the name of 255 “‘sen- timental singers,’’ 31 “Irish comic sing- ers,"" 14 “dog and monkey troupes,” 293 “comic singers,’ 26 ‘‘serio-comic singers,” 138 pairs of ‘“‘comic duettists,” © ‘comic trios, quartettes, ballet companies, etc.,’’ 29 “pantomimists,’’ 37 ‘‘wigards, ventriloquists, etc.,”’ between 3800 and 400 “‘negro delinea- tors,’’ some two-score “jugglers, balancers, etc.,” about 75 ‘‘dancers,’’ and more than 2) “gymnasts and acrot&ts,’’ some 2000 performers in all. In 1871 there were 26 music halls in London, a number since con- siderably increased. There was a good deal of conversation among show folks last week about matters spiritual, all of which grew out of natural comment on the death of Col. Ingersoll. The Colonel had a large and comprehend- ing sympathy for the men and women of the stage, and they for him. The ax of conventionality that in a large measure cut both him and them away from the rest of the world welded them to the same chain. It was noticeable here in St. Louis at least, and—as show folks are show folks the world over—probably every place else, that while there was nothing but good said of the dead agnostic by the players, there was very little open indorsement of his views. ‘“‘Whether he was right, or whether he was wrong, he was a better man than most of us,"’ was the general theory. Not one of the players even hinted at a belief in the possibility of retribution for the Col- onel, yet very, very few intimated a suspi- cion that he would not live again. day a student of sociology will write a treatise on religion in stage folks, and the masses Will be surprised to learn that the majority of the men and women who act in public have a strong religious tendency. Some Out in Bonesteel, S. D., the civil authort- ties are trying to cecide whether the ‘“‘miss- ing link.”’ who, or which, was shot and killed by Archie H. Brower, a showman, was ahuman. If tt wasn’t a human Brower can’t be punished for anything but cruelty to animals, but if it was he may be hanged. This would appear to be an instance in which something like the test by fire might be appropriately revived. Let Mr. Browar walk over a few heated plowshares and if the “missing link” was a brute beast and soulless the feet of his slayer will take no harm trom the hot steel, whereas if the “missing link” was human ils seared feet will prove it. siayer's Klaw & BPrianger bought the lease of August Daly's -New York theater, which has A years to run, and Gharles Froh- man Will manage it.. This gives Mr. Froh- man control of six of the York theaters. It is understwod that his brother Daniel will have a share in the management of Daly's. leading New Manager Wm. Garen of Haylin's, after a short trip to the Kast, is home, and dur- ing iast week was busy supervising the finishing touches to the work of transfor- mation that has been made since the house closed for the last season, His promise was then that ev erything should be new except the Walls, tie was joined Monday by Proprietor Manager John H. Haviin, and they have both been so wel! satisfied with the manner itn which the promise has been kept that Manager Garen has determined to keep open house daily, between 10:30 and 1:30, until the date of the opening, which will be about Aug. 20. The frescoer has exercised his art from the wainscoting up. ‘The carpeting and draperies are all new, re ig @ Hew and attractive drop curtain, “a aya, ¥ the lobby is finished in plain white and gold, with a ¢frescoed ceiling, and the walls are covered with plate glass mirrors. The old wooden railing in the rear of the circle has given way to a neat one of brass ani metal. The ladjes’ retiring rooms have also felt the touch of the improver, and behind the curtain the actors will find that they have been considered. Olga Nethersole has received the complete manuscript of Daudet's ‘Sappho,”’ whioh has been dramatized for her by Clyde Fitch. Miss Nethersole, according to ad- vices trom London, is delighted with the work. George Tilles, who used to be an insur ance man in St. Louis, and orament dead walls with injunctions to all men to "Talk with Tilles,” has absorbed the only play- house in Fort Smith, Ark., and is putting out a class of advertising matter that would make a New York press agent green with envy. When one reads one of Manager Tilles’ folders he feels a well-nigh irrealetl- ble inclination to hold up a4 train and make the crew carry him forthwith to Fort Smith where the Tilles Theater is located. Julia Arthur will play Hamlet next sea- son. Her press agent makes this announce- ment with becoming dignity, and accom- panies it with the Information that she will also present “A Lady of Quality" and ‘Romeo and Juliet.”” In the last-named play Miss Arthur takes the part of Jullet. This statement is made lest some think that because she aspires to be the melan- choly Dane and slay everybody who comes athwart her path @ghe may undertake tlhe part of Romeo and put a quietus on Ty- balt. Helen Reimer, who made many friends in St. Louls by her excellent work as the character woman in the Grand Opera Hcuse Stock Company, has signed @ con- tract for next season with Willie Collier. She will have a part in Mr. Collier's new play that was written for her. Jessic Mackaye, a St. Louis girl, is aing- ing Estrelda in “El Capitan,” with De Wolf liopper, in London, and the critics seem t) like her. EXPERIENCES IN DYING VV ven ALLEN has been telling a New York paper about the times she has died to make an American holiday. “T have endured many deaths," said Miss Allen. ‘‘How have I died? Well, in numer- ous ways. One I remember in ‘“Virginius,”’ I was stabbed and fell backward to the ground. The blow made me gasp, then gradually my limbs became rigid, and I fell just at the moment that the spark of life is supposed to leave the body. I used to re- main motionless, with eyes and mouth open, My authority for such action and subse- quent pose is the strongest in the world. I was the unfortunate witness of jugt such a tragedy in real life. The only pain I ex- perienced in my scene was the enforced holding of my breath, for you can imagine that the slightest exhalation would show a movement of the body. The length of the actual death scene is about five migutes. “When I played in ‘Othello,’ with Tom- asso Salvini, I was always very nervous during the smothering scene, because he used to get so excited. I used to turn my face sideways and hold a small space open under the further side of the pillow, so that I could breathe, but even that breath- ing hole would frequently get closed up under the f“ciful energy of Salvini. Then, when he found that he had &illed Desde- mona without cause, in his remorse he threw himself heavily upon the body. I used to wait for this piece of business with fear and trembling. Salvini'’s fall was aw- fully reahstic! “As JWiet I have die@ many times. You know Romeo drinks the poison and gubse- quently throws the vial away as I approach = Originated by T. S. McPheeters as an Attraction for Youths, Who Would Otherwise Find Their Amusement in Gardens Where Beer Is Sold, HE Young Men's Christian Association + on last Friday gave the first of its new series of roof garden entertain- ments on top of its home at Grand and Iranklin avenues. Others will follow at in- tervals of less than a week. The idea of offering an attractive roof garden entertainment to young men and young women originated with Thomas S. McPheeters, who has been so long identified with Y. MW. C. A, work in St. Louis and Missourl, and he was assisted in executing. the plan by the advice of Mr. George T. Coxhead, the general secretary of the association. The roof of the association's new bullding Is finely adapted to the use to which it 1s being put. It is flat and is covered with granitoid, The seating capacity ig esti- mated at 1000 persons. Mr. McPheeters and Mr. Coxhead have de- cided that they will not attempt anything in the shape of a dramatic entertainntent, and the programmes will be limited entirely to music. The music Friday night was fur- nished by Seymour's First Regiment Band, Tables are arranged about the roof, each accommodating from four to six persons, The refreshments will consist of “soft drinks,”’ cake and ice cream and will be served at a nomina! charge, barely suf- ficient to pay the expenses. The view from the roof of the bullding !s a beautiful one, night and day. It is perehed on one of the highest points in the city and from the roof the city is spread out below like a beautiful panorama, “Our idea,” said Mr. McPheeters, “ia te furnish a oool, quiet place where a young man ©an bring his sweetheart, his wife, his sister or his mother for an evening's pleasure. It is quite useless to attempt anything more than music. We have tried amateur dramatic talent and find it unsatis- factory, So, in the future, we will pro- vide music and refreshments of a light va- riety.

How 1 pray that our Ceteramens may Minister Plenipotentiary to Spain, The people in the street and in the shops already have found some means to help to- we are pledged to do what we can to res- cue them. The war is over with Spain, and still the Filipinos are holding those poor Spaniards, captive. It is atrocious and shows the barbarity of that people, and what a task we have undertaken. To come back to Madrid, I will close this much too long letter with a very short story: When we were waiting in the ante-cham- ber of the Infanta Isabella, the Queen Re- gent’s sister, I saw an immense tomcut that seemed to be making very free with all his sumptuous surroundings. The lady in waiting looked at him ruefully and said: “The Infanta had an old cat fhat died the other:day at the ripe age of 2 years. We all hoped that he would have no suc- cessor, but the other day the young King got this cat at the stable, put a fine co.- lar around its neck, put it ina basket and sent it to his aunt as a birthday present. We have to treat it well because it is a royal cat, but it sharpens its claws on the sofas and arm chairs.” As she spoke the cat took @ fying leap up. to a pedestal, where it stood and aanee down down at us serenely while it rubbed its back against the legs of @ statue.

The over ex- citement of the war is past with us. The tales of Spanish cruelty and oppression, (so many of which have since proved to be apocryphal or exaggerated) are tales told, and, let us hope, forgotten. An era of peace and good will is begun and the dead past Is buried. We came to Spain with those memories still buzzing in our ears, and my mind was @ little apprehensive as to the reception of the new Minister Plenipoteniary. I shall give you only the salient points in my recol- lection, for in a short letter one can not transcribe every occurrence. We reached the frontier at Irun at mid- diy on June 13. The first Spaniard whose acquaintance I made came up to the open door of the compartment and eyed my small white dog with friendly interest, He was a boy of 10, with enormous black eyes and a face like Murillo’s little “John the Baptist’—a serious face, with a broad- brimmed straw hat like a halo around It. I reached down and gave him the little dog to hold and he petted and kissed it. He was G@ressed in a clean, but very worn and rusty little black blouse, belted in at the waist. When I noticed this it occurred to me that. of course, he expected some money, so |! offereti him a new franc piece. He quietly put down the little dog, and, without speak- ing, put out both hands in polite but firm refusal. He then went away and the door ‘wes elosed, as the train was ready to move. I thought I had seen the last of my first Spanish acquaintance, when he came run- ning back, climbed on the atep of the car and thrust into my hands a little, dirty pack of pleying cards. As he stepped back his face was radiant, for he had made me & present of what was, perhaps, his one treasured possession. This was too much! I rummaged in my bag and pulled out a lit- tle iwory image of St. Anthony holding the infant Savior, and, as the train moved out, I leaned out and put it in the little boy's hhend. The last glimpse I had of him he Was kissing one hand to me and holding the little ivory statue in the other. I shal! keep the little soiled pack of cards. I have G@welt long on this, because it was my first @xperieince and because that little boy is Unlike any other little boy that I have @ver seen in any other country or of any ether race. _ Madrid is like an ants’ nest tn activity / @nd perpetua) motion.

NE of the most common accidents which befall the summer girl, and her smaller brothers and sisters as well, is getting ivy-poisoned. Poison ivy runs riot in many of the sum- mer resorts and it is a careful person, in- deed, who is too wary for it. Occasionally we find a person who “does not polson,”’ as she says, and for her there muslin. is no danger. Still others are poisoned in a lesser degree and a great many take it very hard. [t is not necessary by any means to touch the ivy to be poisoned, as the pollen from the plant is wafted by the winds every- where in its vicinity. For those whom the ivy affects but mild- ly, the following lotion will be und sooth- ing.

And the poor are as clean as poor people can afford to be. I often wonder, when we despise so much the dirty poor, whether we, who are btter off, would be much cleaner if we had but one or two miserable garments. and had to trudge down to a fountain with & water jar for our laundry. It is an easy theory that water is cheap and it costs nothing to be clean. ( heard a tremendous Clang of drums and Cymbals the other day, and on Jooking out Saw in the street an entire family playing as they walkcd.

The thin, pale mother hovered around the crowd in the etreet, stretching out an imploring hand for coppers—and getting tnem, too—for the people are very kindly. A strange, Strolling band I saw yesterday four blind men with a string ‘hitching each other in tandem fashion, and a dear little old woman, with a cheery, toothless smile, collecting the coppers, while the blind men played a weird and monotonous music upon queer old musical instruments which were neither mandolins, nor guitars, nor fiddies, but instead like the archaic be- ginning of all of them.

L., and at all the [J seaside resorts in Massachusetts and New Hampshire the smart folk seem to be flying high indeed. I had a let- ter Friday froma Philadelphian who is tak- ing in all the points of interest on Massa- chusetts Bay, and thereabouts, Here is a portion of it: ¢ “Why on earth do you suppose the thin- nest girls wear the most abbreviated bath- ing suits? It is a source of constant won- der to me. I have just come up here to Rye Beach from Jamestown, and it is going from bad to worse. I have seen not a pret- ty shaped—bathing hat since I came here. “Down at Jamestown the women are all of the shadow dance variety, while the men—well, do you know Eddie Lee in your city? He is a chubby little six-footer, with pretty golden hair and a fascinating fond- ness for the first person singular. He is there with his mother, Mrs. Bradiey D. Lee, and Mr. Wayne Lee. And he just looks too cute in his dear little bathing suit! But he is a mighty good fellow, and, eevrybody likes him up & this part of the country. They—the Lees—are stopping at the Bay View Hotel, and some other St. Louis peo- le at the same house are Mrs, A. W, Niedringhaus, Miss Marie Walsh, Mr, C. C. Henshaw, Mr.. L. B. Sanford and Ben C, Stanford. Miss Walsh is a very pretty and well-gowned girl. ‘There is a St. Loula man—a Mr. H. 8. Drake—visiting his daughter, Mrs. H. C. Scott, up at the Anthony cottage, at Jamestown, and a good many other people whose names I oan’t remember, I hear hat in about a fortnight that gay little resort will receive ‘Mrs. Soulard La Motte and Mrs, Theodore Hunt, two pretty wom- en from St. Louie, and that a whole bunca are going up from the Pier for a week, So I dare say the town will be gayer than h been this season. * iets at Rye there fs nothi doing except golf and coaching. George Il. Allen of St. Louis has been elected President and the very exclusive olf club, known as the Abenaque,’ so all the resorters from your city pass most_of their time ‘chasing the quinine pill.’ There are two cultured and charming women etopping at the ut’ here—Mrs. George Castleman and Miss Margot Postlewaite—and at..the Seaview House there are enough Priests to keep the whole State in good religious training. They are Mrs. H. S. Priest, Miss Grace Priest, Miss Jennette Priest, Master W. Priest, Master B. Priest and Mr. H. T. Priest. ‘“The Broome family from St. Louls have ments next to the Priests. In the Te ome contingent are Mrs. G. W. Broome Mr. S. P. Broome, Mr. G. P. Broome an Master G. W. Broome, Jr. “The Sea View House also has an effect- ive bouquet of Ritters from St..Louls. are Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ritter, Mr. W Ritter, ae r. oan on Old Cape Ann, at Magno- lia Beach,.the St. Louls colony seems to have things all its own, way. The BEissex County Club—quite the most exclusive tin the country, has been entertaining Rehe Rakewell, Clay Arthur Pierce, C. W.

Miss Maffit is an ideal type of the cultured, tactful and dignified lady that a society woman should always be, ~ “Mrs. E. Ballinger and Mrs: Huston Wyeth, with four children, are at the same hotel, and Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Scudder are among the other notables there, .; “*at the Ocean Side House are Mr.’ and Mrs. J.

The railroads are driving them back to civilization, to find other occupa- tion. Ten years age there were 1200 teamaters on the deserts and in the arid mountains of Arizona and Southern California, with wagcun trains unlike anything else in the world, on account of their size and the stupendous loads they carried. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Com- pany has done‘some very extensive rail- road building on the Colorado and Mojave Deserts. To-day there are less than 50 gen- uine desert teamsters left in Southern Cail- fornia, and their number is diminishing every month. The branch railroade from Ash Fork to Phenix, from Bowtie to Globe, from Benéon to Bisbee, have cut the number of freight teamsters in the whole territory down to about 380. And now the railroad which the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Co. to make the round trip from Mojave tto the Death Valley ‘borax works in California, and it is seldom that a teamster sees even four or five persons in his long, weary jour- ney across the desert. On many desert freight wagons are two men—the teamster and the swamper. The former sits at the front of the first wagon, and looks out for the horses and mules; the swamper is at the front of the second wagon. His duty is to work the ponderous brakes on the big wagor on down grades and to urge on the dallying horses and mules by means of stones and rocks ‘thrown at the beasts on the up grades. John E. Hodgson (‘“‘Happy Jack’’), one of Roosevelt's Rough Riders, says: “The dreariness and melancholy produced by months of freight teaming across the desert and through the blistering moun- t ains is indescribable. I have lived alone for three or four months at a time in @ mining cabin away over in the Verde Moun. tains, and I have been where l never saw “S Lives on a Mountain Alone, and Sel- dom Cares for the Society of His Fellowmen.

The late Commodore Vaefiderbdilt practiced the small economies in personal matters during his entire life. Feeling the weak- nessa consequent upon old age he called in @ physician to examine his condition and prescribe for him. The doctor recommend- ed a stimulant and suggested a bottle of champagne every day: "What!" exclaimed the old millionaire, aghast, “a whole bottle of champagne ev- ery day! It is too expensive. I can't af- ford it.” John Vanderbilt, the hermit, carries the practice of abstcmiousness much farther. A newspaper correspondent who visited is about to build from Flagstaff, Ariz., through the copper and lumber fields to the grand canyon of the Colorado will re- duce the ranks of the teamasters in that parttof the territory to a mere handful, In another decade ‘it is likely there will be scarcely a dozen teamsters engaged in freighting merchandise and ore across the deserts of the Southwest. Most of the. freight teamsters on the deserts cin are Mexicans or half- breed Indians. The average white man its unfitted by temperament for such hardships and depressing solitude. There are some freight-teaming runs that require seventeen days for the round trip, and during the jour- ney the men with the teams spend three- fourths of the time remote from any other human being. It requires twenty-one days a a human being for two and three weeks at a stretch, but the two trips I made as teameter from Phoenix to Prescott and back during the summer of 18% were enough for me. It would take at least $1000 a trip to get me to contract to do more freight hauling MNke that. “What is it that makes freighting on th: deserts so frightful? Why, the solitude, the hot sun, the aridity that makes one al- most a mummy before he knows it, the slow, steady, humdrum creaking of the freight wagons as they just move thro the sea of eand, the withering heat that comes ceaselessly day by day to one’s face while he is out on a trip, and the depress- ing scenery all about all turn one’s dis- position upside down. The nightly camps there is nothing likeit. If I could only tell every woman héw much good your medicine has done me, they would surely try it.”—Manrua M. Kine, NoBTE ATTLEBORO, Mass.
