She was an American and the queen of the artists’ models of Paris. destiny was more sad than hers, noffoul more susceptible to all the exquisit# little tortures of a life which con- etantly misfitted her aspirations. “Poor Gertrude Stockton!" was the way her friends always referred to her; she suf- fered so much and said so little. Gertrude Stockton committed suicide. She was spending the summer in Ostend with an American woman, Mrs. Stock- bridge. Last Saturday her bedy was washed '@shore at Middelkerke, a small bathing sta- tion about six miles south of Ostend. Miss Stockton met in Ostend the man she had loved for two years or more. That man, upon whom Miss Stockton had al- waye looked as the one who should ulti- muately make her a happy wife, took her to a cafe where several of his comrades had bidden some Parisian svubrettes, and before the night was over he had made her ne of their class. "The next day the courage the girl had often shown suddenly gave way. In the immensity of vet sorrow she summoned eath to her relief. Pirinede Stceckton was one of the most beautiful women that lived. This was the opinion of all who had ever met her, the opinion (to cite one among 4 hundred ar- tists) of vis de Chavannes. With such beauty as hers the world ts at any woman's feet, and no feminine whim peed go unsatisfied. But she preferred honest work, for she was dainty of instinct. When she could no longer go in the world knowing herself to be pure, she preferred to die. Her mother, who came from a good fam- 4iv of Kentucky, married at 16 a prosper. ous cotton broker of New Orleans. e father and mother did not agree very long. After a few months Mr. Stockton went to raise cattle in Dakota—alone. Mrs. Stockton was barely 18—a mere child. Disowned by her father, to whom she tried to return, she and her baby returned to New Orleans. There she boldly faced society and cast off all restraint or scruples. Ome day her husband, who had then established him- self comfortably in Mexico, went back to New Orleans to settle his affairs. Among the first people he met on Canal street was his wife, prettier than ever. The same evening husband and wife were speeding together on the Sunset Limited toward the new home in Mexico. Down in Mexico there was a new honey- moon for the Stocktons. It seems to have lasted just so long as the young woman did not know enough Spanish to under- stand what the caballeros were driving at. he first declaration of love she was able to penetrate emanated from a toreador, who had large eyes of black velvet and a comic-opera costume of satin. The torea4or without difficulty took Mrs. Btockton on a peraonatly conducted tour of Spain, in which country he was due to fill @ series of bull-stabbing engagements. Little Gertrude this time had been left behind—fortunately. Mr. Stockton had grown very fond of her. When he died six pean ago, he made Gertrude the sole heiress of all he pos- sesse’i—not a great fortune, but more than ough for even a woman of fastidious abits to live on and enjoy life. The news that she was a widow came to the capricious daughter of the bluegrass re- gion at @ time when she was having an un- usual streak of hard luck, this time in New York.

By some meané or other, and without much trouble, it may be imagined, the mother had appropri- ated all that had been left by her hus- band. Then it was that Puvis de Chavannes, who had met and admired Mise Stockton with the artist's enthusiasm, put an end to Gertrude’s martyrdom by engaging her as a model. Wen it became known that (ertrude Stockton would pose many artists scugnt her services at unusual prices. Rut she visited only a few studios, only these of artists of undoubted talent and serious standing. She was pronounced the most classically built woman of r!nodern times. Thus for two years she had a great repu- tation and saw few people. Many of her irtraits were published constantly. ‘The jlooming of Womanhood,” by Asi. which is «a faithful liketess of Gertrude S:ockton, wwac one of the most admired pieces at the tast Balon.

It is known, for example, that though sine liked Pierre Loulje, she declined to become his wife by saying: “You know I was engaged to be the wife of one man. Circumstances have parted us, but I am his. I belong to him to claim whenever he sees fit.”’ Well, the man claimed her, and now the world’ wonders what must be his feelinze.

Alfred Drey- fus of the French Artillery, charged with treason, was continued this morning, Maj. Carriere, the representative of the govern- ment, having refused to agree to the ad- journment of the case until Monday, ap- plied for by M. Demange, counsel for the prisoner, and Capt. Dreyfus, owing to the murderous attack upon Maitre Labori, lead- ing counsel for the defense. The feature of the day’s proceedings was the story of the sufferings of Dreyfus on Devil's Island, his prison off the coast of French Guiana. Dreyfus wept in court when the clerk read a document recounting the detalls of his incarceration. The proceedings opened with the applica- tion of Demange for an adjournment. This was followed by the deposition of M. Gue- Stung by the Brutal Bearing of the General, Dreyfus Ex= ‘Claimed: ‘‘It Is a Frightful Thing That Every Day They Tear Out My Heart and Soul Without My Being Able to Reply.’”’ of the witness stand. In an attitude of complete self-possession, she gave her evi- dence, accompanying the words with fre- estures. “a oe viaence however, was of little weight. She admitted the frequent visits of Festerhazy to her husband, and said her husband told her he had forged one docu- ment, “in order to save the honor of the ry.” She gave her evidence in a mat- country. ter-of-fact way and was in nowise the sym- pathetic figure the anti-Dreyfusards have tried to make her.

M. Lebon, the former Minister of the Col- onies, a big, red-bearded man, then testi- fied in justification of his instructions to treat Dreyfus rigorously, declaring that the extreme stringency only dated from the ‘time he thought an attempt would be made to rescue the prisoner. Col. Jouaust, president of the court-mar- | tial. asked Dreyfus if he had any questions to put to the witness and he replied, in an emotional voice: ‘‘No, Iam here to defend my honor. I do not wish to speak of the | atrocious suffering which, for five years, I, a Frenchman and an innocent man, suf- fered on the Ile du Diable.’’ M. Demange here asked that the official report of the treatment of Dreyfus on the Ile du Diable, which was published in the newspapers last week, should be read. The clerk of the court did so, and in a sympa- thetic tone reccunted the harrowing tale of Dreyfus’ mental and physica, sufferings and inhuman treatment on the Island. Deep-drawn bieaths of pat came from the hearers as the reading proceed- ed. Dreyfus at first watched the faces of the. judges with his usual composure; but, gra‘t- ually, as the story proceeded, and inci- dents of his awful existence were brought up before him, his eyes grew dim and tears Retened in nis eyes, and siowly trickied | own his cheeke.

Mercier, who, with M. Lebon, was seats, listened to the reading of the re- ort unmoved, while Col. Jouvauat foi- owed it with an alr of bored tolerance. M. Lebon afterwards returned to the stand and added a few more words in jus- tification of his conduct, and then Col. Jouaust ordered the next witness to be brought ifn. All eyes were turred toward the door on the right of the stage, and a moment later the form of a woman, dressed in deep mourning, appesred in the doorway, anc, accompanied by a non-commissioned of- ficer, advar.ced to the platform.

RPNNDS, Aug. 16.—The following is te= day's evidence in detail: Ex-Minister Justice Guerin, the first wit. ness, said he knew absolutely nothing of the facts in the case, but could repeat the surrounding circumstances, which he had aiready reiated before the Court of Cage | sation, if the court-martial desired. . Col. Jovaust having explained to the wite ness. that the court-martial had no nizance of previous proceedings, M. Guerin | proceeded to repeat his evidence, as giv : before the Court of Cassation, saying the end of Octover, after a Cabinet cou the Premier invited him to his room, wi Gen. Mercier joined them, and expla that for sume time past documents | been missing from the headquarters 6 and that in consequence of inquiries a suspicion attached to Dreyfus. Gen, Mercier was convinced Dreyfus was the ou.prit. He said he founded his convige " tion on three facts: ; First, the bordereau, the author of which was undiscoverabie until Col. Fabre on turning from the manouevers immed after he saw the document, exclaimed: “Why, it is Dreyfus’ handwriting.” Sccondly, the nature of the documents enumerated in the bordereau in conjunction with Dreyfus’ empioyment in different de- partments, prov conclusively, to Gen.

On my soul and conscience,”’ declared M. Lebon, dramatically, “I say I regard the measures I took relative to the prisoner on the Ile de Diable as warranted, and if I had to repeat them I would not hesitate.”’ Lebon then explained the reasons for the rigorous measures against Dreyfus. He said a certain telegram sent to French Guiana disappeared. It was traced out of France, but immediately it reached the English lines it disappeared, showing, the witness said, that efforts were being made to enable the prisoner to evade the regula- ons. Rigorous, even painful, measures eré therefore.taken to prevent his escape. M. Lébon therefore issued orders that, if Necessary, the prisoner was to be fired ae i remark aroused a decided sensation i he courtroom. M. Lebon said he also issued orders that Only copies of the letters addressed to the prisoner should be delivered to him, the Originals being retained. The witness was informed Aug. 10 that an American vessel passed the Isles de Salut and orders were then issued that Dreyfus was to be shot on the slightest alarm. ‘ Referring to the Weyler forgery, which intended to convey the impression that reyfus was in communication with out- pide Sympathizers, M. Lebon said he frank- admitted that he believed in its au- thenticity, as did Col. Picquart, until long after its production. M. bon next referred to the numerous fovsh drafts the prisoner made of the ers before finally dispatching them. ieee Point a. pgmhange interrupted the Bald: * ‘ gurrpise, pass from surprise to me the part of prosecutor. To-day one Witness defends himself by saying his con- science is tranquil. He is welcome to a tranquil conscience. But ask him if he finds it surprising that this man, alone out there on a lost island. should have poured out hie sou! on paper? I ask again oe you ag op! che forged Weyler letter, ch a handwriting was ate reach Dreytus?” Rn indicated, to othis M. Lebon replied: ‘‘We could no give up the original. But the idea eever occurred to any agents of the administra- tion to subject Dreyfus to the savage and : ra tigeatment which has been spoken Col. Jouaust, addressing Dreyfus, asked: Dreyfus replied: “Yes, my colpnel.”’ “Ww hat impression did it make on you?’’ I understood nothing of what it con- tained,”’ answered the prisoner. At this juncture some time was occupied in reading a long report from the Minister of the Colonies to the Minister of War, giving the various reports of the Governor ef French Guiana. Passages describing the ead the prisoner expressed to the doctors When he feared he was losing his reason caused an immense impression. Tears were even seen to giisten in the eyes of Gen. Billot, the former Minister of War. At the conclusion of the report M. Lebon asked leave to explain. He sald: : “I do not dispute the accuracy of the re- “ port, but it is partial. Reference has been most carefully made to the recarious health of the prisoner. But the doctor never made a communication to me on the Subject.

Moreover, the witness added, there bad been a new fact since the judgment the Court of Cassation, namely Esterhazy’s confession that he wrote the bordereau. But, he added, Esterhazy advanced and withdrew his confession intermittently. If Eesterhazy had rendered services to the in- telligence department there would have been traces of them in the cash book. But no money had been paid Esterhazy, though even supposing he worked out of pure be- nevolence he would have been paid. Yet there was no trace of such payments, Es- terhazy had said he wrote the bordereau under the orders of Col. Sandherr. “But,” declared Gen. Roget, “I, who knew Col. Sandherr well, declare it is false. Col. Sandherr was absolutely incapable of such an order. I add that it is inadmissible be- cause Col. Sandherr was the last person to know of the existence of the bordereau, which was received in the ordinary way. This bordereat’ was han@ed to Col. Henry and was soowamt by him to the intelligence department. t was shown to others by Col. Henry after he had pieced it together. Col. Sandherr only saw ft later. ; The general discoursed lengthily on the famous gcene with Col. Henry in the of- fice ‘of M. Bertulus. the examihing magis- trate, and said M. Bertulus asked Henry :o _inform the witness that he (M. Bertul.) was a friend of the army, and begged the Witness to.call and see him, when he wouvid communicate the result of his invesliga- tions Into the Blanche and “Speranza” forgerics. “In reply,” said Gen. Roget, “I said: "When you see M. Bertulus you will thank him in my behalf. Tell him the investiga- tion does not interest me in any way.’ “I added that I was rather distrustful cf this proposal, which, I pointed out, was , Perhaps a trap.” | The genéral added that M.

Then the géneral tried ty re- fute M.

Gen, Roget, who was becoming more and more excited, fréquently wiped perspiration from his brow and moistened nis lips with water. At this point the General thought it de- sirable to make a declaration that he did not desire it to be said that he questioned the good faith of some of the witnesses who had been heard. He added: “I make this stateme2nt that there shail be no misunderstanding and in order that my words be not misinterpreted. Neverthe- less, their testimony is open to criticism, even as our utterances are criticise :. ““M,. Casimir-Perier deposed before the Court of Cassation that an Ambassador called to demand an official denial of the statement that Important documents were found in his embassy. The Ambassador, however, knew it was a fact. But admit- ting that he did not know it, there Is nothing surprising in the occurrence in view . of the faculty with which attached ‘A’ (I don't mention his name as the Minister has forbiddenit) allowed compromising let- / ters to Hie around. read one such let- ter which was very compromis:ng to a per- son whose name I cannot mention. Why, therefore, should not the bordereau g0 | astray?’’ % | The general insisted upon the truth o8 the statement that military attaches “A’’ and “‘B,”’ under which letters he referred ito Col. Schwartzekoppen of the German ' Embassy at Paris, and Maj. Pennizardi of the Italian Embassy, at the French capital at the time, worked together almost daily; and he quoted a passage from a letter ex- changed between them as follows: “M. Hanotaux, the ely fellow, is glad at the embaéesy denying. The embassy must eny.”’ In the same document, declared Gen. Ro- get, was a name written twice, and the mame, he asserted, was that of Dreyfus. The name of Esterhazy, he said, was not found in any of the documents, none of which could be ascribed to him, with the exception of the petit bleu (postal card), “which Col. Picquart discovered in such an extraordinary manner.”’ The witness then said he felt great un- easiness in regard to the document contain- ing the words, “Cette canaille de d .” A certain military attache, said the Gen- eral later on in his testimony, informed Col, Sandherr that there was some one who imitated his handwriting perfectly. The name of ‘‘Dubo!s” the witness said,was found in the correspondence of the military attaches. “Dubois,” the General explained, was an ‘unfortunate’ who futilely tried to sel] the secret of the smokeless powder used in the French Army. “If,”’ said Gen. Roget, ‘“‘no other person can be found to whom the initial ‘D’ can ,applys to whom does it then apply?” As he made this remark the witness faced about and looked fixedly at the prisoner, who, however, merely shrugged his shoul- cers. ““Now,”’ continued the general, ‘‘the ex- lanations furnished on this point by M. rariux (former Minister of Justice) trou- bled me somewhat, but I do not insist.”’ Here Gen. Roget paused, the excitement under which he was laboring being almost uncontrollable. In a thick, choking voice he cofitinued: “And yet, in the presence of disinterested testimony like mine, you will not allow preference to be shown to the evidence of persons who have benefited by treason.” At this point the general broke down and tears streamed down his cheeks. Resuming hie testimony, the general set _to work in the effort to prove the guilt of Dreytua. He declared that there were traces of ' "= “We thought. madame, that «. $O™MmMon with your husband. ha & position to give interesting informa- tion. beg you to tell the court what rour life, in | Mme.

He traversed the tration of troops and of the contents of the firing manual. He then endeavored to show that Col. Picquart had recourse to fraud- ulent methods, with the f{ntent of incrim- inating some one other than Dreyfus, and declared Picquart spent 100,000 francs with the object of organizing a campaign of sur- veillance “of an unfortunate officer who was gulitless.”’ This 100,000 francs, he added, was a re- serve accumulated by Col. Sandherr by strict economy from the funds at the dis- posal of the war office. This reserve had en- tirely disappeared. In response to gestures of contradiction from M. Demange, Gen. Roget admitted the figures quoted were perhaps exaggerated. The witness next accused Col. Picquart of suppressing documents tending to com- promise Dreyfus. As the General was evidently greatly fa- tigued, Col. Jouuust suggested that he con- tinue his testimony to-morrow. The Colo- _nel then addressed the prisoner, asking him f he had anything to say in reply to Gen. ogret. Dreyfus replied: ‘“‘No, my Colonel.

Max Metzger, the Kansas City young man who passed a $100 check which proved to be worthless, was transferred from the holdover to the jail Wednesday on a war- rant charging him with forgbry. He is alleged to have falsely uttered the name of Max Weil & Co., a firm of Kansas City clothiers. The young man admits having the chegks and says he guesses he is guilty as charged. He says he has been drunk six weeks and cannot recall distinctly all that did happen. The check that caused the trouble was cashed by A. Jacobus, 804 North Broadway. A few days later it came from the bank marked no good. About this time Chief Desmond got a message from Chief Hayes of Kansas City, asking that Metzger be found, as charges of forgery had been pre- ferred against him in that city. Metzger is well dressed. He says he for- merly worked for Max Weil & Co. in Kan- sas City. He says he began drinking in Kansas City, and one morning found him- self in St. Louis.

Two suits were filed in,the Circuit Court Wednesday, praying for &4n order restrain- ing the present Eiection Board from tranrs- ferring any of the property in its posses- sion to James McCaffrey, L. D. Kingsland and George Kobusch, the appointees under the Nesbitt bill. An order is also asked re- straining the said appointees from acting in an official capacity and from, in any way, interfering with the present board in the discharge of its duties. The principal suit is that filed by Circuit Attorney Theodore C. Eggers, who says he acts at the relation of the State of Mis- souri and in whose name he brings the suit. The other petition is filed by Louis P. Aloe, E. L. Preetorious, Cyrus Wal- bridg® and other prominent Republicans The allegations are the same in both c¢ s. Morton Jourdan, Noble ané Shielas Mn George D. Reynoias represent the private citizens. The relief is sought upon the theory that the following provisions of the State Con- stitution were violated in the passage of the Nesbitt biil: Sec. 25. No law shall be passed e bill, and no bill shall be so amentea by massage through either House as to change ts original purpose.

[¢ js al- leged that the first bill catled for the ap- pointment of one commissioner, while the new bill calls for the appointment of three commissioners. It is claimed that this j sufficient variance to kill it. . The charge is made that the law ig o¢ n effect and that all action take under 4+ will be illegal.

ENGLAND TIRE OF BOER DELAY, No Answer Comes to Great Britain’s Demand. THE ARMY IS READY TO MOVE. AN EMERGENCY FORCE OF 30,000 MEN UNDER ARMS. Condition of Great Anxiety in the Transvaal, and the Expectation of War Is in Every Man’s Mind. LONDON, Aug. 16.—The Transvaal situa- tion is unchanged, according to all obtain- able official information, but the continued delay of the Boer angwer to Great Brit- ain’s demand for a joint inquiry as to the effect upon the Outlanders of the proposed franchise reform measures makes matters look more serious. The war office has completed its prep- arations for an emergency force of 30,000 men to be ready to leave within a week. Fast steamers for their transportation are waiting orders. It is said that the Gren- adier Guards, now at Gibraltar, and (the Twenty-first Lancers, now in Egypt, may be sent to South Africa in addition to the other regiments which have already been ordered there. EXPECTING AN EXPLOSION. Well-Drawn Picture of Condition in the Transvaal. LONDON, Aug. 16.—A correspondent at Johannesburg writes: “War itself could not be as bad for Jo- hannesburg as the present state of sus- yense and waiting. Nobody will buy any- thing from a paper of pins to a thousand horse-power dynamo until “after the war is over.” This is the phrase on everybody's lips. Houses are closed and deserted. Streets are half empty. Clerks in shops wait listlessly for the customer who never comes. “Albove the town the fort looms, stocked with food and ammunition sufficient for a vear’s siege, its guns trained on the city itself. The city watches the fort and the fort watches the city and each wonders what the other is going to do—for the fort is Boer and the city English. “Up in Pretoria Oom Paul wrestles with his councilors and with the Lord, whom the Boers have appropriated and domiciled in the Transvaal. The former are divided among themselves, some counseling liber- ality and moderation; others urging firm- ress and no further concessions. The Lord’s advice is not published, but to judge from appearances it is, ‘Buy guns, ammu- nition and provender, and let the future show what to do with them.’ ‘In England the South African capitalists are stirring up the great English machine to work for their ends, while Chamberlain is counting on using the capitalists for his imperial schemes, and Cecil Rhodes hopes to use both elements to promote a war which shall divert public attention from the failure at Rhodesia. The Liberals and Irish are stirring a little in opposition and the Dutch of the Cape and the Free State are beginning to ask: ‘Is blood thicker than water?’ x “The last but not the least interesting or important feature in the situation fs that the dusky aborigines on the outskirts of the scene are beginning to seethe with their long suppressed hatred of the whites and lust for killing. Perhaps their time has come, they say, to win back their land and their freedom to be as savage as they like. Every week whole troops and tribes of boys are deserting the mines and returning to their people. “The Basutos southwest of us have a well-drilled army of 30,000 warriors, armed with modern firearms and mounted on ex- cellent horses. The Zulus to the southeast are nearly as well off, while to the north the Matabeles, Swazies and kindred tribes are biding their time. Their ge hatred is the Boers. but when killing time comes anything that is white will do.’’ DEWEY 1S GETTING BETTER The Navy Department Does Not Re- gard the Illness of the Admiral as Serious. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1809, by Press Publishing Company. LEGHORN, Aug. 16.—Admiral Dewey, although still. indisposed, is much better than he was Monday. The Governor, the Mayor and the General commanding the troops here returned the Admiral’s calls and were received by Capt. Lamberton and Flag Lieutenant Brumby. The Admiral did not rise until late. The Olympia will leave here Monday even- ing next and arrive at Nice on Thursday morning. FREDERICK PALMDR. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—The Navy De- pes senont has not been advised of Admiral ewey’s illness. It is believed for this reason that it can be nothing serious. Orders have been issued by Acting Sec- retary Allen to Captain Robley D. Evans, who commanded the battleship lowa dur- ing the war with Spain, directing him to confer with the Dewey Reception Commit- tee of New York, and with Rear Admiral Sampson, respecting the navy's participa- tion in ceremonies incidental to the home- coming of Admiral Dewey. Rear Admiral Sampson has been directel to prepare a programme for the ships of his squadron in the reception of the Ad- miral. The entire squadron will be assembled to honor the Admiral, and when it falls in| with the Olympia, wil! fire a salute 0 seventeen guns and the drums will — four ruffies and and flourishes. Admira Sampson is entitled to a salute of 13 he and two ruffles and flourishes. Admira Sampson will be expected to make the first call upon Admiral Dewey, who will return it and the vessels will then proceed to New York for the joint ceremonies.

The Tri-State Amusement Co. filed suit in the Circuit Court Wednesday to oust the Forest Park Highlands’ Amusement Co. from pé@ssession of the pavilion at Forest Park Highlands. The plaintiffs claim that the defendant ana Col. John D. Hopkins, its agent, has violated the terms of its contract, and re- fuses to consult in booking attractions. It also claims it has been excluded from the pavilisn und is no longer allowed to take a hand in the administration of the pavil- ion's affairs. tl alleges that this condi- tion has existed since Sept. 10, 1898. it the use of the pavilion to the exclusion of the defendant. This suit is a result of the severance of friendly relations between Col. Hopkins and the Tri-State Co. The Tri-State Co. entered into a contract with the Highlands Co. to run the paviven. It was stipulated in the contract that Hop- kins should be the manager. When H»p- kins left the Tri-State Co. the Highlaniis Co. claimed that that annulled the contract.

Mrs. Mary McWay of 4811 Fountain ave- nue, 70 years old, furnished entertainment for the residents in the vicinity of Walton and Cook avenues, during several hours of Tuesday afternoon. As her age indicates, Mrs. McWay is not vigorous physically, but she was most ve- hement vegbaliy on this occasion, and a re- volver made up for her bodily weakness. She threatened to make dead men out of @ dozen or more teamsters who were driv- ing over the ground get apart .for a side- walk in front of her lot, one end of which abuts on the west side of Walton a‘enue, just south of Cook aventte. Walton avenue is not paved and :he Street in front of Mrs. McWay’s lot was a mudhole Tuesday. It was almost impass- able for heavy vehicles. When Mrs. Mc- Way discovered that vehicles were being driven over the remnants of her board sidewalk she armed herse!f with an old- style army pistol that would not shoot and took up a position on her property to keep the teams off. She frightened heeded her not. She grabbed the bridles of horses a. tried to forte them into the street. Most of the drivers took the efforts of Mrs. McWay as a: joke, but she was in earnest.

Ellis. an artist, who has attract- ed some attention from the critics, prom- ises to prove to the world that he is not a bigamist ae he clears himself of the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. He declares that his first wife, who lives in Carthage, is jealous, and would ruin him in the eves of the girl he loves, who was Miss Esther Bloch of 2325 War- ren street. Mrs. Elis of Carthage, Ill., has been in correspondence with the assistant prosecut- ing attorney, who says that he will issue a Warrant against Ells as soon as the Iili- nois woman produces the proof she ciaims to have. Ells wae married First Christian Church, 1898. He enlisted for the Spanish war in Com- pany C, First Missouri, but was transferred to the Fifteenth Infantry. When he re- turned the door of the Bloch home was closed against him. hg? 4, he had married had heard from Mrs. Ells of Carthage. Ells was arrested a; few weeks ago on complaint of William H. Glaze of 3707 Eae- ton avenue, who claimed that ne passed a bogus check on him. Ells says that as soon as ne gets out of jail he will prove that he got a divorce from his former wife without her knowl- edge in 1896, while he was living in South Dakota.

A touch of ‘jhotness is headed this way; things will begin to warm up by evening, and Thursday will be still more sultry. The thermometer won't reach the season's limit, says Dr. Hyatt, and the nights will be cool and pleasant, but it will be quite hot enough to satisfy most anyone. The “‘high"’ in North Dakota is doing the business, and it is hotter there now than it is anywhere north of the Gulf States. Heavy rains have fallen in Texas, and the cotton crop has been materially benefited thereby. Otherwise the weather is almost featureless.

Widener in the Sun- Gay Post-Dispatch is ingenious but inconclusive. ‘Mr. Widener maintains that combinations do not put up prices. A study of the market refutes this. And in the few cases where prices have not been raised a fall has been pre- vented by artificial restriction of competitive forces. He says that combinations guarantee steady and permanent employ- ment to laborers at good wages, and yet one of the principal objects of combination is to reduce cost by reducing labor. With every consolidation wcerkingmen are thrown out of em- ployment. Thousands have been turned adrift within the past year. Combination for private profit can in the nature of things do nothing but harm and if pressed to its logical conclusion will reeult in widespread ruin, the degradation of the poor, the elimination of the well-to-do, and the division of society into two classes—the very rich and the very poor.

Baldheadedness is a stroke of nature that may afflict the wisest and best of men; but side-whiskeredness is deliberate and wanton folly: side-whiekers indicate character; they are a conscious pose. They imply excessive dignity and complacency. The man who devotes himself to the cultivation of side- whiskers has not enough virility left to cope with an agile and aggressive eneniv; he is unequal to enterprises of great pith and moment. If Gen. Otis were capable of sacrificing his side-whiskers he might be capable of redeeming himself as a general. If he could compromise on a full beard, or even chin whiskers, he might put a little dash into his campaign. The President may aswell make up his mind at once that a bald-headed general with side whiskers can never end the war. The sooner he re- calls His Whiskers the better. The so-called Van Wyck conference has developed a re- markable atmospheric condition at Saratoga. Under its mar- velous influence Democrats hitherto unknown instantly be- come National leaders,. with wide influence; small men as- suine enormous proportions and men a thousand miles away appear at the bidding of the resourceful press agent and give vigorous interviews, which represent the views of vast sec- tions of the country.

Henry Ames and J. M. Hill anpear as the leaders of the St. Louis Democracy. Thou- sands of newspapers, filled with vigorous editorials in sup- port of the Van Wyek boom, appear, and V. W.’s boom swells to such great size that it obscures all the stars in the political horizon. The three tailors of Tooley street seem to have adjourned to the piazza of the Grand Union. = = MORE MYSTERY IN FRANCE. The mystery of the Dreyfus case is deepened by the attempt upon Labori’s life, which is looked upon as a disaster not only to Dreyfus, but to France. The predictions of civil war so freely made by the -newspa- pers of Paris are not all wind. The French are excitable in the fairest political weather. Worked up as they are now there is no telling what mad plunge into chaos may follow: This view is rendered still more probable by the opinion of the ;.ondon Times’ correspondent: “I do not exaggerate the general impression,” he says, “when I affirm that with La- bori absent the bottom seems to have dropped out of the de- fense.”’ If this is true the unhappy man may be farther than ever from vindication and liberty. What may be in store for France is hinted at in this correspondent’s concluding words: ‘The worst news would surprise nobody. For a reason which I am bound not to give, the event is a national calamity.” It may be questioned whether civil war, with all its horrors, with a possibility of foreign intervention, is not the only way to lift the country out of the pit of iniquity into which she has fallen. France might emerge from such a conflict shorn of all her power and influence, but it would give her an oppo- tunity to redeem her honor and recover moral health. = = " i ae Every Judge‘in the United States who carries a free railroad pass should follow the example of Judge Beeman in returning all such passes. ‘‘Passes over railroads, given to members of the Legislature and Judges are granted for the same purpose, and that purpose is to influence those who accept them,” says Judge Beeman. It is not a great while since a distinguished railroad official declared that he would not feel safe in any railroad litigation brought in a court, the Judge of which had not been provided with a free pass.

The little widow, taking no notice. /apparentiy, of her visitor's rather stiff man- ner, was chatting away, making common- Place remarks requiring no answers. “I am going to tell you what a lovely gown you have on,”’ she said. “Do you know, when I was a girl at school, we had a lady principal, a’tall, stately creature, who had evidently shad little social ad- vantages.

When cold, again screw the cov- ers, and keep in a dark, cool place. As- paragus and peas may be canned in the Same way. CANNED CORN.—For this seleot fine, fresh corn. Remove the husk and silk, and carefully cut the corn from the cob. Pack into jars, pressing it down closely, and fill to overflowing. Put on the tops and screw them down. Place them in a “White jar holder and pour in sufficient cold water to half cover the jarss Cover the boiler tightly, and’ boil continuously for three hours, watching carefully that there is sufficient water to make a full volume of steam. When done, lift out the jars and screw down the covers as tightly as pos- sible, stand aside to cool. en oold, sccew again, and keep in a dark, cool place. QUINCB HONEY.—Five nice quinces, pared and grated; one pint of water; five pounds of granulated sugar. Stir the grated quinces into the boiling sugar and water. ‘Cook 15 minutes, pour into glasses, and let cool before covering. TOMATO PRESPRVE.—Select a half peck of fine, smooth, tomatoes, not over- ripe. Seald, peel and weigh them, and to each pound of tomatoes allow one pound of sugar, the juice and rind of half a lem- on. a small piece of ginger root cut into slices. Put all together in a porcelain-lined kettle. and simmer gently for three hours, then put carefully into tumblers or jars, and stand away to cool. ‘When cold, tle up as dtrected. TOMATOES (YHLLOW).—The small yel- low tomatoes, with an equal quantity of grated pineapple, and preserved according to the preceding recipe, omitting the lemon and ginger, make most delightful preserves. TOMATO BUTTER.—Scald 2 pounds of THE FALL CANNING BEE. EN How to Put Up Vegetables and Fruits CANNED UIMA BEANS.—Fill the jars, Winter. , .Tipe tomatoes and remove the skins, put them in a porcelain-lined kettle with -four ounds of apples pared, cored and quar- ered; stand over a moderate fire to cook slowly for one hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, then add eight pounds of sugar, the juice of four lemons and one tablespoonful of powseres ginger. Cook and stir continually. until reduced to the consistenc of marmalade. Put in tumblers or jars. hen cold, tie up as directed, TOMATO FIGS.—Allow to six pounds of tomatoes three pounds of granulated sugar. Select those that are quite ripe, small and . smooth, Scald and remove the skins. Place ja layer of the tomatoes in the bottom of a porcelain-lined kettle, strew them quick- ly with the sugar, and place them over a moderate fire. Stew very gently until the Sugar appears to have thoroughly pene- trated the tomatoes. Lift them carefully, one at a time, with a spoen, spread them on dishes, and dry in the sun, sprinkling with granulated sugar several times while drying. When perfectly dry pack in jars with a layer of sugar between each layer of tomatoes. Care must be taken not to let rain or dew fall on them while drying. CANNED TOMATOES (Whole).—Gelect small, smooth, sound tomatoes. Pack them without peeling into widemouthed ars, fill the jars with cold water, and finish pre- cisely the same as lima beans, boiling only thirty Thinutes. Be sure that the cans are filled to overflowing with boiling water be- fore screwing on the tops, TO PICKLE MUSHROOMS.—The button mushrooms are the only ones suitable for this purpose. Cut the stems even with the gills, and wash them in cold water. Place them in an earthen jar and cover with a moderately strong brine, allowing them to stand in this for 48 hours in a cool place; then strain them thoroughly, and pack in fruit jars. Cover with vinegar prepared as follows: To each quart add one-half of a4 grated nutmeg, one-half dram of ma one ounce of white pepper-corns and boi them 10 minu*es. Care must be taken to fill the jars so that the mushrooms may be well under the liquid. HORSDBRADISH SAUCE Those of you who like horseradish, but dislike its undue familjarity with the nose, should try sauce made by the following recipe: To a cup of grated horseradish add two tablespoons of sugar, a half tea n of Salt, a half cup of good, thick sweet cream. Mix these ingredients thoroughly, then add vinegar to taste. The result is a delicious sauce for roast meats. THE “ALSO RANS.” Before the wild commotion dies, After the race is run, “Hooray! Hooray!” the winner cries, And count? it glorious fun; While all the losers madly groan, As others’ gaine they scan, And damn their luck in sullen tone And curse the “also ran.” Yet pray, how could there be a race In which no horse’ could lose? Some could not even score for “place;” Though shod with golden shoes, — Therefore: Take cheer, O wenry-hearted one, Nor grieve at thwarted plans! How could the race of life be run Without the ‘also rana’’? J. GETCHDBR GUNN.

Police Concur With the Missing Girl’s Family in the Theory That She Is All Right, But They Can’t Find Her. The “mysterious disappearnnce”’ of Sarah Kountzmann from her home, 7322 South ®Gixth street, Monday of last week, doesn’t geeem, now, to be so much of a mystery after all, though she has not returned yet. She left home aeliberately, after maturing her plens well. She took money and clothes with her; she went in broad day- light, and, seemingly, she is staying away for the same rcason that she left—because she wishes to do so. The only thing about the case absoiutely unsolved is the present whereabouts of the young woman. She is os this a #e- cret. She is almost a y in St. Louis. ' he is probably at work. oThis fs the theory held by the young wo- man’s family and by the police. er broth- ers believe it. and have rather settled down to this conclusion. Capt. Keeble of the Carondelet police believes it, from his in- vestigations. The detectives on the caée are working on this theory. The feeling is that she grew tired of. housekeeping and went away; that when sne is ready she will make her whereabouts known. Tnere ie said to be a young woman up in North St. Louls who could tell much more about this erstwhile mystery than she has told, if she would. But she wont. She wae a confidante of Miss Kountzmann—al- most her only one. To her, Miss Kountz- mann unfolded the plans of _her going @way end the reasons therefor. This young told a few things—only a few— cae the tn . has vouchsafed and the information she has been mostly in the way of hints. For she seems to enjoy mystifying those he 4 vestion her, and impressing everyone the knowledge of the runaway girl that she ssesses. Even Chief Desmond's sleuths ave not obtained from her a clew to Miés Kountzmann's present location. Sarah Kountzmann lived at 7322 South Sixth etreet with her brothers, Gustave and Paul. She kept house for them on the sec- ond floor of the small frame house, The lower floor is occupied by Clement Kountz- mann, another brother, and his family. 5a- is a tall young woman, fully 5 feet 8 inches in height, of large build and athletic. She was a prize member of the St. Louts Turnverein, whose clubhouse jis only two or three blocks from her home, and she wag devoted to its pleasures. She had kept house for her brothers ever since theit mother died. She had no men friends that her relatives know of, and, seemingly, she Wanted none. She lived in apparent con- tent with her brothers, They are all brass molders; they make good wages and they kept her supplied with money and such other things ae she wished. Her social life was identified with the Turners. She went to their athletic entertainments and their house parties, and was happy and con- tented, to all outward appearances. Her mother had left her some money, too, so she was independent, financially. She came and went as she pleased without restric- tions. But the girl. her family says, had one worry—she disliked exceedingly to be de- endent upon her brothers, even to the ex- ent of accepting their bounty and repaying it only in housekeeping. True, they idol- ized her: they spent their evenings with @r almoet exclusively, and they meade the little home as cozy and comfortable as could be. In spite of this, they say, she wished to be her own mistress so abéo- lutely that even her brothers need not con- tribute to her support. She is 22 years old, and her feeling was that she ought to have some vocation. To her North St. Louis friend Miss Kountzmann confided her troubles. How much she told is' inconsequential, but that ehe made a rather free statement of her woes her sister-in-law, Mrs. Clement Kountzmann. believes. For detectives who have seen Mrs. Clement have toid her things, detailed to them by the North St. EE = inn aeemiead EE eS ee HU MORS Itching Burning and Chafing Soothed by Con Because of its delicate emollient properties it is the most sooth- ing, cooling and purifying appli- cation for golf rash, heat rash, tan, sunburn, freckles, bites and stings of insects, irrita- tions, chafings, inflammation, undue perspiration, and many sanative uses, as well as the purest and sweetest of toilet, bath, and nursery soaps.

Sarah left; Louls friend, that she did not know herself, about the Kountzmann family affaire. So there \% no doubt that the giris, though living some miles apart, were very int:- mate From this North 8t. Louis girl it was learned that Miss Kountzmann left home deliberately, after plana.ng the going with care. She donne but uninformed. In s gives her an and she declined ri's departure, is prey A r usually carried about her. She left about $300 belonging to her brothers which was in her charge. Ghe also took her gold watch. She left, her sister-in-law says, about 10 o’clock in the morning, carrying the parcel wrapped in a newspaper, go- ing out the back way. It was the first day Mrs. Kountzmann had been up, and she was in the front yard. She heard the back door slam, and, looking, saw Miss Kountzmann going toward the car. She went and came as she pleased, so nothing Was thought of it. “When the bovs reached home that night their sister had not returned. They sbearcheu tor her without result. One of them went to North St. Louis to see her friend, but this friend’s ignorance was overwhelming. It has continued so ever since—except for hints—and she _ resents anv questioning on the subject. ‘ The police were notified of Miss Kountz- mann’s disappearance, and theories of mur- der or foul play were evolved. Racy ul not stand. Capt. meeble says he is sure thé girl is in St. Louis, and that she will turn up all right when she wishes. He h “hunch’’ that this is true—and “hunches” generally pan out. The d tives are equally sure that she is here, from the hints her friend has let slip un- der their skillful questioning. Miss Kountzmann studied to be a trained nurse at one time, but her brothers per- suaded ‘her to give up the scheme. She may have taken it up again under an as- sumed name, but all the hospitals report that no one of her description is in at- tendance. The family’s theory és that she had taken a place as a servant in some family. The Kountzmanns have kinfolks in Ohio and in Cahfornia. They have heard from Ohio, and the girl is not there. They wrote to California only a few days ago, and have not heard yet. They have adver- tised for her return, without effect. If Sarah Kountzmann had any men friends only her girl chum knew of them. None ever went to her home. If she was piqued at anything that happened at home or had any petty grievance, the family is keeping its secret excessively well. he theory is—and the facts seem to bear it out —that she grew tired of housekeeping, wished to be “independent,”’ left home to go to work, and is keeping her where- abouts secret to prevent her brothers per- suading her to return. But that there has been a little ny ey report that Mrs. Clement and Sarah had some sharp words about two weeks before that Clement sided with his wife, and that for two weeks the two wom- en did not speak. They also report that the father of the Kountzmanns left in a mysterious manner some years ago and has never been heard of since, and they believe it was in the family. he detect- ives’ theory is that Sarah is working either as a domestic or a seamstress, uinder an assumed name. HOW CROW WOULD CRUSH ’EM Trust Should Not Be Permitted to Be Formed, Says the Attorney- General. Attorney-General Edward C. Crow spent Tuesday in St. Louis. In conversation with a Post-Dispatch reporter he made some suggestions which he thinks may be of value in the discussions of the anti-trust conventions that are to be held in St. Louls and Chicago. “I believe that the most profitable course to pursue in fighting trusts,”’ said he, “‘is to work along the line of checking their formation. would suggest that at the conferences an arrangement he _ entered into involving as many States as possible, looking «0 enactment of legislation that will act as a check to the formation of these gigantic industrial combinations. “In many States it may be possible to absolutely prohibit corporations other than those of a public and quasi-public charac- ner. When this cannot be done, it may be possible to secure legislation that will make every stockholder in a corporation liable for all its debts, just as in the case of partnerships. “lif a man worth a million knows that if he enters a combination he will be liable for all the debts of the corporation, he will not go into it. It would be impossible un- der such a rule to form a trust because capitalists would be afraid to put their money into it.’’ TOOK VOWS OF SISTERHOOD. Sixteen Were in One Class and Eleven Were in Another. Eleven girls took their first vows as Sis- ters of St. Joseph at the convent in Caron- delet Tuesday. Sixteen others who have been in the community 5 years took their final vows.

A youth was he From Arcadie, A bard with voice so sweet That Fancy came To know his name, And worshipped at his feet.

Ab, joy to be In Arcadie With one who speaks the tongue The Saxon spoke, When hearts were oak And Chaucer still was young! WILLIS LEONARD CLANAHAN. Literary workers in St. Louls are inter- ested in the presence here of Mr. Madison Cawein, a Kentucky poet, who is the guest of Mr. R. E. Lee Gibson at 4961 Arsenal street. Mr. Cawein has been styled the American Keats by no less a critic than William Dean Howells. John Clark Ridpath calls him the Omar Khayyam of the Ohio Val- ley. While he has hobnobbed with the literary lights of the country from Boston to New Orleans, this is his first visit to the West, and yesterday was the first time he had ever seen the Mississippi River. or one so young Mr. Cawein’s literary record is remarkable. His latest volume of poems, “‘Myth and Romance,” just issued, is his 15th book in as many years. A fair idea of his power of versification can be obtained from the proem, which reads: There is no rhyme that Is half so sweet As the song of the wind through the rippling wheat; There is no meter that's half so fine As the lilt of the brook under rock and vine; And the loveliest lyric I ever heard Was the wildwood strain of a forest bird. If the wind and the brook and the bird could teach My heart their beautiful parts of speech, And the natural art which they say these with, My soul would sing of beauty and myth In a rhyme and a meter which none before Have sung in their love or dreamed in their lore, Aud the world would be richer one poet more.

SARATOGA, Aug. 16.—The affliction which J. J. Willett, general manager of the Augustus Van Wyck boom for the Presi- dency, styles “The blight of Crokerism’”’ has caused a good deal of anxiety among Tammany men who are here at Saratoga. Mr. Willett notified some friends by wire yesterday that he was going to New York on Thursday and hopes to meet all Southern men who are opposed to the nomi- nation of Mr. Bryan on a silver platform at the Hoffman House on Saturday. Tammany men who remain here scoff at the ability of the Southerners to make trouble for Mr. Croker. Ex-Senator Gor- man declined to discuss the discarding of Augustus Van Wyck by Mr. Croker or to make any comment on Mr. Bryan's chances for a renomination. There will be an exodus of summer candi- dates from Saratoga to New York to-day to see Mr. Croker. MEAT GOING HIGHER. New York Retail Butchers Forced to Increase the Price. NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—The general com- mittee of the Greater New York Retaifl Butchers’ Association met last night and decided that an advance of at least 3 cents per pound in the price of meat was imper- atively neceseary to protect retailers against a heavy loss from the sharp ad- vance in wholesale rates. In most retail stores the advance .has already been put into operation, but the action of the com- mittee will make it universal. and no hope is held out that the increase in price wiil be only temporary. The Consolidated Ice Co. has increased the price of ice to smal] consumers from 2 cente to 30 cents per 100 pounds. It is not unlikely that the price will be still further increased. BRYAN CN THE ISSUES LINKS ANTI-IMPERIALISM WITH SILVER. SPEECH TO (OWA DEMOCRATS. Claims That the Philippine Question Is of the Highest Im- . portance. DES MOINES, Io., Aug. 16.—William J. Bryan declared in his speech here that the Chicago platform, like the inaugural ad- dress of Thomas Jefferson, was built for all time. He said: ‘‘We need not repudiate a syllable Or idea of it. But when new and important issues arise we can take them into the family and make the campaign upon them without apologizing for any past _, Mr. Bryan associated an anti-trust decla- ration with the movement against imperial- ism, and said these issues would be para- ount next year. merry new danger of the trusts,’’ he said, ‘has just been developed. When a trust ets control of all the factories in a given fine and the hands of one factory strike, the trust will close that one establishment and make its goods at the others. When the workmen at that place are starved to the point of working for any wages of- fered, that factory will be reopened and the lockout to reduce wages will be in- auguraied at another factory.’’ Mr. Bryan closed his speech by a lengthy discussion of imperialism. The difference, he said, between a Republic and an em- pire is this: A Republic needs an army of 95.000 for 70,000,000 people; an empire needs four times that large an army when 10,- 000,000 population is added. ‘This suits the young men who get fat jobs in the army, but not the peopie who pay the $15,000,000 a year needed to maintain the soldiers in the Philippines."’ Mr. Bryan gave figures to show that Eng- land and other nations do not colonize rap- idly, and said that with 2 people to the square mile in America and 60 to the mile in the Philippines, there is no opportunity there. He then took up the silver question, say- ing prosperity did not set in until six months after the election, when the Klon- dike gold mines began to be heard from. ‘The Republicans who claim that times are better because the balance of trade is in favor of the United States give away their own position and admit the Democratic view of the quantitative character of money is correct. ‘The 6,500,000 voters of the Democratic party in 1896 were for silver. The 7,000,000 Republican voters were for a_ platform which called for international bimetallism. Only the Palmer-Buckner voters were for the gold standard—less than 1 per cent— yet now the Iowa Republican platform goes a step farther and is for gold alone. More- over, the Republicans threaten to retire the greenbacks, though they have never been before the people on that issue.’’ “TO TRIUMPHANT PEACE.” The President Again Stands by the Old Flag. PLATTSBURG, N. Y., Aug. 16.—Presi- dent McKinley made an address to the Catholic Summer School at Cliff Haven, in which he said: ‘‘Whatever the Government of the United States has been able to accomplish since I last met you here has been because the hearts of the people have been with the Government of the United States. “Our patriotism is neither sectional nor sectarian. We may differ in our political and religious beliefs, but we are united for our country. **‘Loyalty to the government is our nation- al creed. We follow, all of us, one flag. It symbolizes our purposes and our aspira- tions; it represents what we believe and what we mean to maintain, and wherever it floats it is the flag of the free, the hope of the oppressed, and, wherever it is as- sailed, at any sacrifice it will be carried to a triumphant peace. ‘‘We have more flags here than we ever — before. They are in evidence every- where. ‘I saw them carried by the little ones on your lawn, and as long as they carry these flags in their little hands there will be patriotism in their hearts. “That flag now floats from the homes of the milllons—ever from our places of wor- ship—it is seen from our school houses, from ‘the shops, the factories, the mining towns; and it waves from the camp of the foneer in the distant outpost, and on the umberman’s hut in the dense forest. It is found in the home of the humblest toiler, and what it represents is dear to his heart. ‘*Rebellion may delay, but {t can never defeat its blessed mission of liberty and humanity. Thank you again for this most cordial and gracious greeting.’’ DEATH RATHER THAN MARRIAGE Edith Daggett Would Not Accept the Choice of Her Mother.
