A street car ran into a wagon loaded with school children at Channing and Lu- cas avenues at 11:3) o'clock Friday morne ing and upset the wagon, strewing the little ones on the track in its path. One child was frightfully mangled by the trolley car before it could be She was fatally injured. Another child was crushed about the head and may die, and no one escaped painful injury. Six were injured, The statements of witnesses differ as to the cause of the accident. By some it is attributed to carelessness on the part of the motorman. of the driver was responeiblie. The crew of the street car proceeded downtown with the car so soon aé the in- jured had been picked up. ‘The wagon was the property of Charlies J. Engler, a ‘grocer, at 500 North Channing avenue. It was driven by Arthur Larimore, @ lad of 15, who drives the wagon regularly. Following instructions the bay took the wagon and called at the Crow School to take homé the childten of his employer and those of James T. McCabe ef 3323 Locust street, -Larimore arrived at the echool with the wagon just when the children* were being dismiseed for the noon recess. The follow- ing children climbed into the wagon: Clara Engler, aged 12 years. Elsie Pngier, aged 14 years, daughters of Mr. McCabe. The route home led south from Belle ave- where the and three nue and Channing avenue, school is situated on Channing avenue. The wagon was covered. Two of the passen- gers sat on the seat with young Larimore and the others sat on boxes in the bed of the wagon. There were six of them in the wagon, none older than 16 years and all light hearted and jolly. The horse trotted down Channing avenue and the children chatted and laughed, The intersection of Channing and Lucas avenues is a populous corner, There is a drug store on one corner, a grocery On an- ether, a doctor's office on the third corner and the fourth is occupied by a church, There are invariably a number of persons at the corner. There were a dozen or more when the wagon laden with school children approached. A Delmar car was nearing from the west. The car was running rapid- ly, as the cars on that line generally do at that point, because of the grade. Nearer and nearer the wagon approached the tracks; faster and faster came the car to meet it. Whether the boy driver heard @ bell or no, and regardless of conflicting statements about the ringing of a bell, the Wagon proceeded and the car proceeded. Pedestrians and passengers saw the col- lision was inevitable; the motorman saw it and made frantic efforts with the brake and reverse lever; on-lookers screamed and turned their heads. The monstrous trolley car crashed into the frail wagon and tossed it in kindling into the gutter. The children were hurled into the street; some fell in the path of the car, which slipped and ground along the track, obey- ing, too late, the brakes. Clara Bngler carried under the fender and almost under the wheels. She Was unconscious, and thought to be dead when taken out. Others of the children were tossed aside by the fender. Larimore, the only boy in the party, was thrown high and fell clear of the car, He apparently alighied gp his head. His skull was fractured and next to Clara Engler, he was most seriously in- jured. The others were cut and bruised. The nature of the accident made it im- possible to determine the exact extent of the hurts, because it seemed certain that all Were injured internally. was i a é »t y . a ph - tr fy Pt, “up ee 7 ’ aN . baa ¥; Ve bed a - : 3 : La ‘ay « a ¢ at: "Sys ee ta “ ¢ 4 yt 7a" . “— ’ en -— - P + oe » ’ is, . ‘ q sy ps 3 ° Fa WS ee ; rs =—" + ‘ 5 i 4 a Ook Ma a ms » d a) ~* 7 Ay 4 \ stopped. f Others say the negligence | Dr. Clark, at the corner where the accident occurred. The office was converted into a og +s the street furnished lint and bandages and hospital. May’s drug store across the injured were given speedy treatment. Scott Skirlock, a negro, who lives at 2930 Olive street and does job work, saw the entire accident. Of it, he says: “I was near when the boy took the little girls in the wagon. He was not far from the corner of Channing and Lucas, and they had been to school. He drives for Engler, and he told the children to get in and he would take them home. They did, and he started south on Channing. Just as he got to Lucas, a car came. going west. lt was going very fast, and I'll swear there was no sound of a gong. All you knew there was a car coming was the sound of the trolley scraping along the wire. “The boy’s horse had just started on the track, when the car was a:imost on him, and it was going like the wind. He pulled on the lines, to turn the horse, s.arting west on Lucas, and if he had had another inch he could have made it. But the car struck his left front wheel and threw all of those in the wagon out. Three of the little girls were able to get up, and they did. The fourth was thrown uader the car and the front truck passed over her. They had to back the car to get her out. “The boy was thrown alongside the car, and the car dragged him under the wag- on. TI ran up and with some other men helped him out. Two men got off the car, and one of them took the littie gtrl to the doctor’s. And I took the boy there. “The car was going very fast, and the gong was not sounded. If it had been the boy could have got out in time. he littl McCabe girls are daughters of J. T. McCabe, a blacksmith of 3323 Locust street. They are mere children, and were too badly frightened to give an account of the accident. They confirmed, so far as they could, the negro’s assertion, as did all those in the neighborhood, that the car was approaching very rapidly and. with- out sounding a warning. Neither McCabe girl is more than bruised. Their names are Annie and Mamie. The boy who was driving the wagon is sericusly injured, and Whe doctors have doubts of nis recovery. His head is almost skinned, and it is feare] that his skull is fractured. Besides, he is bruised almost all over the body He was not unconscious, but was unabtp to talk, as his entire head was swathed in bandages, as well as most of the resi of him. Little Clara Engler was a pitiful sight as she lay on the table in Dr. B. W. Clarke's office, near the corner where the accident happened, Both her legs were wrapped in bandages, and her head was in the same condition. ‘Phe doctors said they thought no bones were broken, but. that she was very badly hurt. When she was lifted out from under the car she was placed on the steps of a church, but it was seen that she was in a serious condition, so she was car- ried by a passenger on the car to the doc- tor’s office. Half a dozen surgeons were at work on the two children. The first news of the accident to reach the Engler home was taken there by Elsie, the younger of the sisters, who was badly bruised, but not hurt otherwise. She ran screaming home, calling to her mother that her sister was killed. The father and moth- er went to the corner at their best speed, but Mr. Engler would not let his wife see their daughter till her wounds were dressed. He was so wrought up over the occurrance that he could hardly talk. The accident happened at 11:30 o'clock. The motorman and conductor only stopped the car long enough to obtam the names of some witnesses, and then they went on west the end of the line. One hour after the accident two policemen strolied leisurely around the corner and began to ask questions about what had happened. The accident caused the greatest indigna- tion in the neighborhood. Men walked up and down the street cursing the railroad company, and declaring that the cars were run there regardless of life or limb. They Said that the company was making up for the loss of time on the downtown loops DY running at railroad speed through the Streets but little farther out, and that neg- ligence was directly responsible for the oc- currence of the morning. The hurried leave-taking of the crew of the car, they declared, was to prevent any one ascertain- ing who they were, and they could not find things bad enough to say about the line and the railway company.

Visit of a Friend from New London to One of the New Policemen Brings Some Cueer Things to Light. ” a The visit of Willlam A. Four Courts Thursday afternoon to see his friend, John N. Weaver, one of the newly-appointed patrolmen, brought to light some irregularities in the appointment of the new policemen. Under the new law a man eligible to ap- pointment on the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Force must have been a resident of St. Louls for at least one year. Mr. Pritchett lives in New London, Mo. Patrolman Weaver formerly lived in the same town and was at one time village marisaal there. He has a brother aetill living there. Pritchett and Weaver's broth- er are warm friends. This brother asked Mr. Pritchett to go to the Four Courts and see how Patrolman Weaver liked his new 1i0b. Pritchett volunteered the informa- tion that Weaver came to St. Louis only two months ago and was fortunate in ob- taining employment so soon. Investigation revealed that Weaver's ap- plication for a position was indorsed by Gov. Lon V. Stephens and F. C. Seibert. Harry B. Hawes, president of the Pclice Board, indorsel the application. On his upplication Mr. Weaver stated that he was born in 1862. He is married and haa two children. He gives his residence at the Purlington Hotel, The Burlington Hotel goes not appear in the 1899 city directory. In the application tne querry, ‘“‘How long have you resided in the city?’ Is left blank. Tho application states that Weaver was once employed as a guard at the Missouri State Prison and was also Marshal of New Lon- con. An effort was made to find what beat Pa- trolman Weaver walked, but in vain. The chief's office furnished information to the effect. that Weaver had been as- signed to the Central District. A reporter Visited Capt. Reynolds’ office, but was in- formed that Weaver was not on the list and it waa stated that he might have been transferred. Several persons around head- quarters said they Knew. Weaver by sigh’, but none knew him before his appeintment. SKELETON MAY FACE JESTER Bones Long Hidden Are Found Near the Spot Where Gates Is Thought to Have Been Murdered. PARIS, Mo., Sept. 8—Tom Gritton, a rock hauler at work on Allen Creek, near the spot where Alexander Jester and Gil- bert Gates were encamped the night before the young man disappeared, yesterday dis- covered a skeleton that had lain for years under a large stone. The bones will be carefully removed by the authorities and preserved as possible evidence in the trial of Jester in Audrain County, which is set for Sept. 18. The prosecution in the case will be assisted by W. 8S. Foster, one of the attorneys who secured the conviction of Luetgert, the Chicago wife murderer. SHOT HER FRIEND IN PLAY. Missouri Girl Had a Revolver That Wasn’t Loaded. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Sept. 8&—While playfully ecuffling with Roscoe Marrissett in a wagon yesterday Minnie Loveland jok- ingly pointed a pistol at him. The weapon was accidentally discharged, the bullet en- tering young Marrissett’s mouth and kill- ing him instantly. A brother of young Mar- rissett witnessed the tragedy. Pritchett to the END OF THE EXTREME HEAT. Thunderstorms Encircled St. Louis, but Not a Drop of Rain Fell Until Friday Morning. Relief from the inferne-like heat of the last week came Thursday night, and Dr. Hyatt promises that stil cooler weather will come Friday night. He says the backbone of the summer was broken, and adds jocularly that the cracking of the red- hot vertebra could be heard in the thunder peals that rolled over St. Louis Thursday evening. Friday morning at 7 o’clock the tempera- ture was 74, a drop of 8 degrees from the same time Thursday morning. This drop may not seem much, but Dr. Hyatt remarks that 8 degrees means a great deal during such weather as we have been having. It means, according to his prediction, that the thermomnetric maximum Friday will be 90, and he is inclined to believe that it will be even lower than that. The cool wave was caused by the en- croachment of the high area over the Cen- tral West upon the low in the Southwest. “The high simply squeezed the life and the water, too, out of that low,” said the doctor. Friday morning the weather map had changed radically. Two very energetic highs hung over the upper Rocky Mountain region and over the Upper Mississippi. They were so close together as to be almost iden- tical. A small iow hung ever West Texas, and another made trouble for New Eng- landers. St. Levis is just south of thie southern boundary of both the highs, and they are advancing in this direction, from which Dr. Hyatt draws his prediction that Saturday will be cooler. He expects show- ers Friday night. St. Louis got practically none of tlre rain. It was a dry center to a thunder and rain- storm area that cireled all around it. As rear as Keokuk, lo., rain fell to a depth of 2.98 inches. At Springfield, lll., and at In- dianapolis the preciiptation was 1 inch. But, although St. Louis got none of the rain, it enjoyed the benefit of that which fell at other places. The heavy thunder and lightning seemed to clear the _ at- mosphere, and the cool breezes which blew, now from the southwest, then west, north and northeast caused the mercury to tum. ble at an astonishing rate, and gave St. ne their first Dréath of real air ina week. ' The coming of the cool wave was halled with delight. Despairing sufferers, particu- larly in the downtown section, where life has not been worth While during the hot period, hastened out Of doors and enjoyed to the full the refreshing wind. And for the first time in more than a week nobody dreaded the necessity of going to bed. Windows we left open and sleep was not ye | possibles but it was comfort- able and refreshing, ¢ The barometer was fermal Friday morn— ing and on the rise. The minimum tem- pSerue was 72 at 6:30 o’clock in the morn- ng. ‘*‘To-morrow.”” said Dr. Hyatt. “will cer- tainly be fair and cooler, but I expect showers this afternoon and evening. The backbone of summer is broken, and from = Anda we may expect normal September weather.” THE WEATHER INDICATIONS. FAIR AND COOLER.

BARRET, Brutal Method of Handling Alleged Insane Persons. _ THERE IS VIOLENCE CHARGED. CITY HOSPITAL NURSES Nor AL- WAYS CAREFUL. Attorney -Robbins Calls Attention to the Testimony Given at the! Trial by Miss Barret and Others. In a communication to the Post-Dispatch Mr. Alexander ‘H. Robbins commends the publicity which this newspaper has siven to the case of his client, Miss Llizabeth Barret, and he also brings out levidence which shows brutal methods to be lin vogue during the treatment by city officials of persons supposed to be insane. Mr. Rob- bins’ clear-cut, forceful letter is as fol- lows: ‘The report of the trial of Miss Lizzie L. Barret for insanity in yesterday’s issue of the Post-Dispatch was most accurate and opportune, especially in calling attention to the fact brought out at the trial that any person, under the city ordinance giving authority to the Board of Health to com- mit persons alleged to be insane to the In- sane Asylum, may be deprived of liberty without a trial or other due process of law guaranteed by the constitution and statutes of the State. “There was, however, another fact brought out by the testimony in regard to the treatment accorded Miss Barret which serves to make more evident the startling injustice and illegality of such commit- ments. ‘*‘Miss Barret stated that after being de- tained by Capt. Young one hour in the Third District Police Station, she was thrown into an ambulance and taken to the City Hospital. On arrival there he in- sisted upon being released and taken home and tola the gentlemen in charge. that if they believed her to be insane they could bring proceedings in the regular way. But the guards refused to listen to her prvotests and, she resisting, they took her by the neck anil threw her into a cell of the ob- tervation ward. “A few minutes later, according to Mis Barrett's story, a nurse came into the cel and ordered her to undress herself for ex- amination, which she, a lady of refinement and delicacy, refused to do. ‘Then the afore- said nurse immediately proceeded t@ do “J force what she was unable to acconiplis by argument. Cailing to her assistance two patients of the observation ward—two women who had been picked up from the streets a few nights before In a state of in- toxication—she caught Misa Barret by the throat, threw her on a and jumped upon her, then,. while her {wo assistants successfully kept down whatever faint re- sistance Miss Barret may have made, she undertook to strip her of all her clothing, in the heat of the encounter waging to pence a valuable silk waist worn by Miss arret. ; “Finding further resistance useless Miss Barret submitted and after five days at the City mi no was sent to the Insana Asylum and there confined for three weeks in a ward with 60 insane patients. “My only comment on this is that when a city ordinance permits a gane woman lik» Miss Barret to be torn from her home, be submitted to such indignities as Miss Bar- ret “states she suffered, and which were fully corroborated by the admissions of the nurse on the witness stand, and then to be confined for several weeks in daily contact with the patients of a public insane asylum, we have evidence of an abuse of ersonal ‘'iberty to which we “"¥ in vain or a parallel.’ Drouth Broken in NoPt#érn Indiana.

LAPORTE, Ind., Sept. 8.—A passed over Northern Indian severe storm a last night, and reports received here say cht two ship, this county, and that two othets were fatally injured. A protracted drouth was broken by the storm. Don’t you think? Somebody ought to try On Hyatt! WILLIE it STOPPETT, Imagine Napoleon Bonaparte born in Colo- rado and intended by his folks to be a cow- boy, and imagine him having changed his folks’ mind and decided to go to a theolog- ical seminary, and that is something like Elbert Hubbard. He has the complexion tinged with healthy red and brown that pertains among the agriculturists in East Aurora; he has a piercing black eye, a high brow, a chin that he could fight with. When you notice that his eyes are 10 years old, his shoulders 40, his bands 25 and the top of his head 60, you know that he must be about 37; but when you meet his son, apparently two years his junior, though he is 17, and a wide-awake chunk of a chap, with a genius fcr mechanics, and his sunny- aired littie girl, who runs about the shop «8 if it were bome, you allow that be must be 38. He wears a blue flannel shirt, a ‘air of bicycle breeches that do not match the shirt, and a straw hat. Such is Elbert Hubbard, quaint Philistine Magazine. teresting? He is probably the most remarkable lit- erary character of this end of a remarka- ble century. You will find him and his work fuily de- scribed in the next Sunday Post-Dispatch. Elbert Hubbard is like Columbus—he dis- covered a new world. Soon after Columbus landed on this con- tinent. strange to relate, it lost an entire race of people—a race which had flourished here for hundreds of years. About the origin of this people there has been the greatest mystery. After nearly #0 years ef search and research the question has heen answered satisfactorily—a question which the encyclopedias have not an- ewered, and which the great historian Bancroft gave UP in despair. Is this not a matter worth looking Into? Full particulars will be given in the next Sunday Post-Dispatch. Have you seen the new lace yoke which the girls— But talking about lace yokes (I suppose they call them “yokes” because they were made to snare men), you will find sqme- editor of the Is he not in- % bs TAX ee which will convince you that the lace yoke is really a very tame and innocent affair, after all. I am innocent, My Colonel! I am innocent! Heaven knows That I am innocent! That was what Capt. Dreyfus said. Will he be able to prove it? The United States has a prisoner who has been called the American Dreyfus. He, too, protests his innocence of a crime of which he has already been convicted. Will he be given a new trial? Will he be able to establish his innocence of crime against the Government? The coming week may tell. The case in its entirety will be set forth more fully than ever before in the next Sunday Post-Dispatch. Not a single de- tail will be omitted. You may draw your own conclusion. Speaking about Dreyfus reminds me of France, and France reminds me of the stunning pictures of famous Parisian beau. ties which will be printed in the next Sun- day Post-Dispatch. There you see an example of what phil- osophers and pedagogic experts and pecych. ologists call “‘the association of ideas.” These pictures will be worth walking a whole mile in the sun to see.

It was also significant that the report drawn ~ by Du Paty de Clam on the day following his interview with Dreyfus had disappeared. Du Paty de Clam, counsel pointed out, had evident- ly forgotten his remarks to Dreyfus, as he had forgotten other facta. . Demange said he was surprised at the attitude of Gen. Gonse towards alleged confessions and marveled at the fact that Capt. LeBrun-Renaud, who was sent to the Elysee Palace expressly to repeat the con- fessions, did not mention them. It was likewise inexplicable that Gen. Saussier and Gen. Mercier took no steps to verify the so-called confessions, which were lost sight of until M. Cavaignac sprung them on the Chamber of Deputies as proof of the xullt of Dreyfus. The Court of Cassation had justly decided that they were not con- fessions.

Henry's theatrical denunciation cf Dreyfus as a traitor at the court-martial of 1894 and the reports of the detectives. He pointed out how the prosecution had ad- vanced as proof the alleged statements of individuals who were not in any war office, but whom they carefully abstain from pro- ducing for examination, especially dwelling upon Henry's statement in 188, which has since been admitteai to be false, that a cer- tuin war office employe infofmed him. that Dreyfus was the culprit. M. Deniange then showed the emptyness of the gambling and libertine charges against the prisoner and said the simplest actions of Dreyfus were misconstrued, even his legitimate desire to obtain knowledge being imputed as a crinie.

"A mid-summer night’s ball in Newport with a Vanderbilt, as host means the cli- max of luxury and beauty, the culmination Seta t and splendor. Small wonder, then, that the smart women of all the rival fgctions have been excitedly discussing the Vanderbilt function. For William K. Vanderbilt is perhaps the one only man of all the rich set who ig not identified with one or another of the cliques tha: have reni and cenfused and eenfounded what is known as the “best” society during these past years of divorces and scandals and partisanship. Mr. Vanderbilt's position is unique in many ways. He is the richest eligible In America.

The St. Louis friend, a well known physician, entered upon a careful analysis of the car- toon and sent back to the Chicagoan the following clever letter as a result of his contemplations: , “My Dear Friend—I am iy receipt of a pictorial clipping from one oT your Chicago dailies, which you were kind enough to send me, and have found the same very in- teresting. The story told is that of a St. Louls man, sluggish and heavy, with un- kempt, bair and whiskers and only one sus- pender, who, by drinking Chicago,: water, and thus taking into his system the bacilli with which that water abounds, became earnest, energetic, act've; secured another suspender, had his hair and whiskers cul, and finally become the admiration of the world. “A contemplation of this work of art has brought about rather an interesting train of thought, and has been, I may say, educational, inasmuch as it has solved a problem which has heretofore somewhat perplexed me. I have never been able to understand why the Chicago pecple were so active, energetic and progressive. | could see nothing in the climate to create such conditions, and have been, therefore, at a loss to know to what to attribute by your kindness In sending me this torial item from your paper.

For years, the filth and garbage of the city has been dumped into the lake, and its apparently pure and clear water has been pumped down the throats of the Chicago people, carrying with it millions of living germs. These germs are known to be very active, ener- getic and progressive. The late lamented Bill Nye, in an article on the~ subject, faims that the germs are also very intel- ligent. At one time he cultivated a num- ber of germs in a little room which he used as a laboratory, and he said they got to know him in thme, recognized his foot- steps, and finally became so educated that when he would approach them they would stand up on the‘r hind legs and ask him for another little piece of lung. It is to be regretted that Nye did not live to pursue his investigations—especially in Chicago. “The untold millions of bacilli taken in the system of every Chicagoan havé, time, taken complete possession of the physical part of every man, woman and child, They de the moving, the thinking, the building. In short, to them Is due the credit for all progress which Chicago and its people have made, No person in Chi- cago can properly hereafter say ‘I,’ but must always say ‘We,’ referring, of course, to the innumerable germs which go to make him up. “Who rebuilt the city of Chicago?

Badjlli. “I have had some feeling against the peo- ple of Chicago for having thus sought to throw their filth upon others, but I abandon all such feeling because I do not hold them responsible. It is the bactlli that have done it. These little people are so active that they want to extend their empire, and so desire to send their invading army from the great lakes to the valley of the Mis- sissippi. Wenseally do not want them here in St. Louis. We have been living a quiet, sensible .:ife. We have not found it nec- essary to mortgage our city, or to prociaim its glories to unwilling listeners. We have gone on [n an old-fashioned, sensible way, making the most,of life, paying our debts as we move along. Armies, nowever, are never .welcome visitors, and this mighty army of the bacillf, unless restrained by some barrier in the nature of an injunction, will come upon us whether or no and set us all to looking after an additional suspender, and having our hair cut. Well, we cannot help it. They must come: we mugt bow to the situation and make the most mf it. No doubt they wil) insist upon our digging a ditch to carry our sewage to other unof- fending cities, and in time they will domi- nate the whole country from St. Louis & the Gulf. “Were it not for the germs, we might. reasonably expect that a Chicago man woulc wear long hair and bushy whiskers; that he would wear cowskin boots and a pair of overalls; that his cyes would be red and his limbs shrunken and that he would have a milk wart on his nose. It would re- quire ether dynamite or the bacilli to move him.” course, said the knowing ones, Mr. Vander- bilt will ask Grace Harriman to receive le will understand that we do nvot its citizens when we require a beautiful and tactful woman as temporary chatelaine. So in the minds of the women who were not asked to play hostess for an evening at Mr. Vanderbilt’s ball the matter was set- tled, and New York scored one against Fhiladelphia. Mrs, Harriman, with infinite tact, neith- er admitted nor denied the spontaneous an nouncement that she was to receive _Mr. Vanderbilt's guests. She just smiled in her frank, sunshiny way and said nice things about Mrs. Carter, whom she declared the prettiest woman she had seen for ages anid then she told how giad she was to be at dear old Newport and how heavenly to think Elisha Dyer was to lead the cotillon at Mr. Vanderbilt's, but she really must not be asked about Tier connection with the affair. Surely, Mr. Vanderbilt was th# one to seek for information, Meantime, Newport g@sips who had re- sented Mrs. Carter's success did not hesi- tate to declare that they were delighted and hoped Philadelphia women -2would kindy take notics that Newport had ex- isted and would continue to de so without their ald. And the blonde little Mrs. Carter serene- ly came and went, ail gowned in fluffy white looking like a lily or a _e slender stemmed white rose—cool, collected and un- disturbed, And Newport was fairly staggered when it discovered that besides a man of wealth and fashion and of good taste, Mr. Vander bilt Was a personage of Machiavelian di- lomacy. By one stroke he stopped th: iscussions and quieted the excitement of the elite. Mc. William K.

HEARD FROM HER SOLDIER SON Mrs. Rachel Joseph Received a Letter From the Philippines. Mrs. Rachel Joseph of 1112 North Elev- enth street received a letrer Thursday from her son, Harry Joseph, who is a member of Company B, Twelfth United States Infan- try, in the Philippines. This is the word Mrs. Joseph has had from him she had meantime that he had been killed in battle. Joseph was with his regiment at San Fer- nando when he wrote. He describes San Fernando as a vety beautiful city, which has innumerabie flower gardens and pretty? | women. He sare the natives of the city are friendly. When the American forces occupied the city a large sugar mil) was abandoned. [t contained several tons of sugar, which, Joseph says, the soldiers have been cating cree and making into candy. He says the natives sell them fruits and provisions cheap and that whenever they get hungry they can buy plenty of good food to satiate their appetites. “This is the winter season here and it is nearly always raining, Dut it is nice and cool,’ he says. “There is no fighting now. We are just guarding the towns we have captured. We can see the insurgents from our outposts. They are less than a mile from us. They are now gathering in their harvest and we can see them as they work in the filelds.”’ Joseph says but one thing is needed to make him contented with his soldier life, and that is the Sunday Post-Dispaich, which he begs his mother to send him.

The President is now confronted with the same problem which presented liself when it became so manifest that Shafter was mak.ng a failure of the Santiago campa'gn.

What Miles accomplished in expediating the surrender, . despite interference from Wash.ngton, is a matter of history, ana it is now heid before the President as an ex- perience by which he should profit. The Presicent has been greatly impressed with Prof. Schurman’s views, as the latter has laid before him facts which he has fully established by evidence Which he has brought with him in the shape of maps. eharts and other relable data. It wiil be recalled that perfect harmony d'd not exist between Prof. Schurman ard Gen Otis, which may account for the fact that the former’s views as they reached here from the Philippines did not so deeply im- press the President as the personal] inter- views seem to have done. It is quite possible that the President ha- heard someth'ng reiative to the military situation from Mr. Schurman which has hac a tendency to shake his faith in Otts The Pres'dent had a three-hours’ 'alk w th Senator Reveridge yesterday ahot te Philippines and as the Senator has just made a careful study of the situation there his statements were received as valuable. REGIMENTS OF NEGRO TROOPS. Orders Will Soon Be Issued to Recruit Two of Them. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8—Orders will be issued from the War Department in a day or two announcing the field and staff offi- cers of two additional volunteer regiments which will be organized after the manner of the so-called immune regiments sent to Cuba last year, their company officers and privates being exclusively colored men.

Perceptible Increase in the Price of Certain Groceries Indicates the frend of Things. Living is costlier to. St. Loutsans now than it was a year ago, and dea.ers say the increase will be greater in: the winter. The most pronounced rise in prices is on the chief necessities, coal and meat. A comparative table showing the prices of meat last year and this, as reported by M. J. Foérstel, the Union Market meat dealer, show that the increase is from 10 to 20 per cent on the various Kinds of meat. The Big Four or packers’ combine is responsible tor this, As to coal, Mr. Edward Devoy's figures show that the increase on hard coal is W cents on the ton, and on coke 25 cents a ton. The syndicate which controls the an- 4hracite coal fieids of Pennsylvania is re- sponsibie for this. The output of an- hracite coal is 46,000,000 tons annually. The syndicate contro.s 40,000,000. The increase of 50 cents on each ton means a profit of $2),000,0.0 on the output for the.year to the syndicate, Mr. J. F. Conrad reports that many of » staple groceries are higher this year they were last. The list of those articles which show an increase includes tea, canned fruits, pineapples, canned fish, canned meat, olives, bacon, ham, lard and spices. It is true that the increase is not great on this class of food supplies, but it is enough to be felt by the consumer. All of these gentlemen believe prices will 6 still higher in the winter. Mr, Devoy Re another quarter will be added to the price of hard coal. Mr. Feoerstel says if the winter is severe meat prices will soar. «The table showing the prices of coal in September, 1888, and this year is as follows: 1899. Anthracite—Small egg—per ton...$7 00 commands will be ready to sail for the The ad- | these regiments to the army j exhausts the quota of 35,000 vol- unteers allowed by Congress. There wi!l then be 2% regiments of 1309 men each, which, with the Porto Rico naval batta!tion of 400 men, leaves a margin of only 1875 in the authorized strength, or not quite enough for another regiment and a half. Gen. Miles had recommended three col- ored regiments, while Gen. Otis had re- ported that negroes were not desired in the Philippines, the friendly natives being strongly prejudiced against them. It is likely that one of the new organizations will .-have {ts temporary quarters at Rich- mond and be commanded by Capt. William P, Duvall, First Artillery, who was Major ‘in the Inspector-General’s Department and Lieutenant-Colonel in the Ordnance Corps last year. The other regiment will probably be or- ganized at Anniston, Ala. All of the of- flcers ‘have already been selected for the two organizations, and it only remains for the President to issue the and for the War Department to direct the beginning of recruiting.

LARGE AID IS PROMISED. Mayor Ziegenhein’s Preposed Nomina- tion for Congress May Result in Empty Honor. Mayor Ziegenhein’s future {fs Interesting politicians of both the Democratic and Re- publican schols. It is eenceded by his best friends thay he canrot have the Mayoralty nomination again, end this being settled he and his friends have tufned their attention to the Tenth Congressicnal District as of- fering an opportunity for him. Ist in this district has developed an in- teresting Democratic situat.on, which prom- ises to give the Mayor trouble fn his at- tempt to succeed sierr Doktor Barthoidt. The chief facior in this situation is Mr. Adolphus Busch, who is understood to have | should succeed | his own ideas alout whe Di. bartholdt 'f anybody does. A It is conceded that with his patronage the Mayor ean get the nomination in the Tenth District if he wishes it. If he does, the Democrats have a plan, by which, with the assistanve of Mr. Busoh. aiready pledged, it is said, they hope to defeat the Mayor and elect a Democrat. The Demo- crut picked out to do this is Michael J. (zill, Who was a candidate in 1898. Mr. Gill was then a gliss-blewer fcr the Anheuser. Busch Brewing Association. lie made a notable caiivass, and succeeded in reducing | the Republican majority from 15,000 to s0u0 This was a result to be proud of and it em- buldened the Democrats to hcpe that the next election they might wipe out the ma- jority enttrely. Mr. Gill was reccntly promoted by the brewing association to a much more jim- portant position, The plan of the Democrats, which ig un- derstood to have the indorsement of Mr. Busch and a promise of financial support from him, is, in case of the Mayor’s nomi- nation, t0 nominate Mr. Gill. He can aiso get the indorsement of the 600 or 700 Social- ist and Socialist-Democrat votes in the d.s- trict. In order to make the result more certain, the plan contemplates the st-rrinz up of the independent epublicans to the point of making an independent nomina- tion thus splitting the Republican vote. Mr. Busch is said to have promised to contribute $10,000 to Mr. Gill’s campaign fund, and the Lemps are expected to do the hanesome thing Mr. Busch is Ynown to be very much dis-— gusted with the conduct of affairs by the Zieeenhein adm.nistration, and his famous interview, given out in New York, in which he denounced both the State and city ad- ministrations in unmeasured terms, is still fresh in the public mind. He is willing, too, to. assist a deserving young man of his employ to a political position of impor- tance. Mr. Bartholdt will undoubtedly resist to the best of his ability the attempt on the part of the. Mayor to invade his d.-strict. The good doctor has long looked upon the Tenth District as his own. But the Mayor has the support of the machine, and his recént appointments indicate that he ex- pects something from South St. Louis. Ninety-nine per cent of the ETA live south of Chouteau avenue.

Thomas the people of Colorado send greet- ing to the people of St. Louis and assure them of their hearty ‘@o-operation in making the exposition commemorating the Louisiana Purchase a success. In yesterday's Post-Dispatch Gov. Thomas outlined his idea of the great work the World’s Fair will do for the States of the Louisiana Purchase territory. In common with other men of broad views, he sees the splendid opportunity it will offer to advertise to the world the marvelous resources of that mag- nificent domain. Then he adds these stimulating words: “I AM SURE ‘IHAT THE COMMONWEALTH FOR WHICH I SPEAK WILL TAKE UP THE WORK WITH ENTHUSI- ASM AND DO ITS FULL SHARE TOWARDS MAKING THE EXPOSITION BOTH MEMORABLE AND SUCCESS- FUL.” Under the vigorous leadership of St. Louis there is no doubt that the entire West and Southwest can be united in working for the great fair, and that will mean brilliant success. = =" The assertion that one hot September day is three-tenths of a degree cooler than another is the miserable subterfuge of @ prophetless Government. > — a HOW TO SPEND MONEY. It is said to le more difficult to spend a fortune judiciously than to make it. The account of the benefactions of Mrs. Jane Leland Stan- ford and Mrs. Phebe Hearst in the Sunday Post-Dispatch is a good pointer for people of means. _ Mrs. Stanford has given $11,000,000 to the Leland Stanford, Jr., University. This is all she had. She reserves for herself an annuity of $12,000. Mrs. Hearst, who has a fortune of $10,000,000, has already given $2,000,000 and is now arranging to give $4,000,000 to schools, libraries, etc. It is the best use to make of wealth. Probably these ladies watiefaction out of the beneficent institutions they establist than they could possibly derive from the receipt of dividends which they could not possibly spend in any rational pleasures. The rush of foods buyers to St. Louis is a testimonial to St. Louis as a wholesale market as well as an indication of im- proved conditions. -St. Louis is not only the best point for a great Western wholesale trade, but it is the best place to hold the greatest of World's Fairs. a. = = " = = _— A SAGACIOUS BISHOP. The annua! conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of Indiana went on record in ringing words which the brethren and sisters cannot fail to understand. The admonition was addressed especially to the ministers, who were plainly told that they must be faithful to their mar- riage vows. In opening the session, Bishop Arnett delivered @ lecture on the subject, in the course of which he said: “While you are gone and receiving all the petting from the sis- ters, on your return home take time to pet your wife.” The Bishop shows remarkable acumen and sound, practical senso. If there must be petting, and he seems to acknowl- edge that, let it be equitably distributed. He doesn’t exhort the sisters to stop petting the delegates. He takes the world as he finds it, which, perhaps, he finds not unpleasant, being human himself; but he knows what is due to his office and so comes out strong in support of the sisters who can’t come to the conference. He is a wise and good man. And the confer- ence does well to accept his guidance. = a Practical Smoke Consumption in Germany.—Consul-General Frank H.

The resolutions adopted put the association squarely in line the elements of law and order and pledge the to co-operate heartily in the suppression of this vicious nuisance. The liquor dealers wisely con- clude that they, cannot afford to be connected even remotely with any practice which ministers to vice. The wine- rooms are dens of vice, and reputable liquor dealers cannot afford to countenance them. The brewers should take similar action. —_— SS BLIND TO OTHERS’ INTERESTS. Maj. William Lewis Marshall, Government engineer at Chi- cago, is not in favor of the connection of the Chicago River with the Drainage Canal except under Government control, because he fears the effect on the lake level and on the navi- gation of the river. But. Maj. Marshall has not a word to say against the scheme on account of any ill effects it may have on the health of the communities whose drinking water will be polluted by an enormous additional mass of sewage from Chicago. This is strange, in view of the fact that Maj. Marshall has suffered in his own family from the effects of sewage-contaminated | water. He says: Individually I have to say that I am in entire sympathy with this people in their effort to purify their water sup- ply. I have lost my only son from typhoid fever, produced, I belleve, from drinking water polluted by defective drain- age at Chicago, which this channel will correct. If it were impossible for Chicago to save itself from typhoid and kindred diseases except through the opening of thé Drain- age Canal, the communities threatened with suffering through Chicago’s action might feel less surprise at the selfish view of the matter taken by that city. But other great cities have solved the sewage problem without sending their entire sewage product through ditches into the water supply fields of other cities. The Drainage Cana] is not an absolute necessity. : The danger to be apprehended will be all the more real to St. Loulsans from a consideration of Maj. Marshall's case. And they will also see from it that they have nothing to hope for from Chicago. If the wrong is to be prevented, St. Louis must rely on herself. = =] | Elijah Whittier Blaisdell, an old Abolitionist. of Illinois, writes to the President: “Yes, Mr. President McKinley, while you still stand erect as the Commander of our Army and Navy, I say to you again, from the full heart of a plain, blunt man, Mr. McKinley, President McKinley, Commander-in-Chief McKinley! in God’s name, call a halt! I beg of you, smite not down any free man’s republic—but, on the contrary, spring forward to help them up! Call a halt, Citizen President Mc- Kinley!

Thougfits of a Queen Comptied for the Post-Dispatch. ARMEN SYLVA, the “Poet-Queen,” is one of the most picturesque fig- ures in Europe. ‘Carmen Sylva” is but a pen name, her real title being Queen Elizabeth of Roumania. Carmen Sylva was born 6&6 years ago to the rank of Princess of Wied. She wrote constantly, both in verse and in prose, from earliest childhood, and was of an extremely emotional, imag- inative temperament. In 1869 she married King Charles of Roumania. Her married life was not altogether happy; her quar- rels with her royal husband and her pe- cullar temperament giving rise to the re- current rumor that she was insane. Her romantic nature led her to advocate strong- ly a marriage between her son, the Crown rince Ferdinand, and one of her maids of honor. When her husband objected she threatened to leave him. Despite these foibles, Carmen Sylva’s lit- erary work has made her the idol of her people and she is one of the most popular writers of the day. Her book, ‘“‘Thoughts of a Queen,” has attracted widespread fame on account of its brilllancy and the audacity of the views advanced by the writer on love, sor- row, life and other topics. hese are some of Carmen Sylva's thoughts: Forgiveness is almost a sign of indiffer- anes. When one loves one does not for- give. Love is like a squirrel: Brave and timid at the same time. Jealousy on the part of an engaged man signifies homage; on the part of a mar- ried man it is an insult. A man and wife should always retain to- ward each other a little of the manner they wsed during courtship. After marriage a holy friendship replaces love. Unhappy are those who do not learn this in time. Love is so powerful that it bursts through all obstacles and through every restraint; a single yawn can Kill it. Titania and Bottom are fair_ types of most cases of forbidden love. Your soul dreams of heavenly love and you awake to find you have loved a beast, Love demands. Friendship gives. Love is blind to the loved one’s faults. Friendship sees the faults and loves them. Love and politics are the murderers of friendship. Consolations often fall on the heart as drops of water fall on boiling oil. They make it sputter and boil over. much happiness on one side and too much sorrow on the other. words, ‘‘We have suffered together.”’ you. children, be sure his life is not happy. children.

Their friends had pronounced it a marriage of “reason and inclination,”’ and they had adored each other for three years.

They had lost a child, and this great sorrow of their lives ‘hhad bound them still closer in an ar- fection deep and strong.

One of these old gentlemen players, one Walter A. Latham, by name, happened to be umpiring the St. Louis-C.ncinnatl game of Thursday afternoon and because, for- sooth. he rendered a decision nov to the liking of certain members of the present St. Louis aggregation, just as they use to do out on the prairies in the Klephant- Red Stocking days, they went into the fle and se:zed hold of the umpire and created a commotion that ended in a smiail sized riot. In the last half of the ninth Inning of Thureday’s game the score siood 4 to 2 in favor of Cincinnati St. Louis play- ers were crazy to win, a! when Barkett, the first man wp, hit bail to center field and McBride came in and caught tt, the home players saw their chances of vic- tory waning fast. The catch gave them an opportunity for a kick, for it was a very low one. Latham decided the batsman out, but Tebeau declared it a “scoop,” ran over to Latham and commenced pushing him around. Others joined in and soon the game broke up in a 4isgraceful row, with the fleld covered with a howling mob, who were throwing cushions and anything else they could get hold of at the umpire and visiting players. Two policemen tried to ecatter the mob, and did succeed in escort- ing Latham safely off the field. The ladies in the grandstand, luckily few in number, left the grounds in a badly frightened con- dition. The cause of the whole troubie Was apparent on its very face to all the fair-minded patrons of the game who saw it, and they were not siow in deciaring their disgust at such unsportsmaniike and unmanly tactics. to see Tebeau a well-known Thurs- “IT am very much surprised resort to rowdyism,” sal merchant who was a spectator at day’s exhibition. “Pat personally gentieman, who minds and lets other people mistake, too—shal] l Umpire Latham.

In the first place, at the close of the eighth Inning he should have ealled the game; but not favoring the Reds he gave St. Louis another chance to tle the score. In return for his favor the 8&t. Louis players were the first to attack him instead of giving him their protection. Latham will hereafter call a ame when he should do so, and not give the ungrate. ful rowdies a chance to take his scalp, Louls Criger made hie reappearance tn th game Thursday and caught good ball. r Rowdy plaving and riot were also the feature of the game played ‘‘hursday at Brooklyn between the Brooklyn and Bos- ton clube The crowd, which numbered nearly 5000 persons, was greatly excited when the Brooklyns came in to take their last turn at the bat. The score then stood 2 to 1 in favor of the Bostons. The first two batsmen were retired and the crowd began to move toward the gates.

Stones were thrown. but none struck either one of the two they were aimed at Tim Murnane says in the Boston Globe: “When a grand team like the present champions meet a setback the ‘fans’ are ~ to criticise too severely the best men of the team. The very men who were most responsible for the grand results of past seasons admitted that players grow slow with age, yet a first-clasa ballpiayer who takes good care of his condition and has a love for the game will be of far more value to a team, even after losing some of his steam, than brainless youngsters who flare up when away from home at the howl of a bunch of rooters.

St. Louis Cricket Club’s Ground Keeper Has a Most Interesting One. Probably very few of the Saturday after- noon spectators at the cricket games at Forest Park know anything about the pri- vate history of the man who is now occu- pying the position of ground man and in- structor to the club at the muniificent salary of $5) PS month. Joseph Creighton Fletcher, his full name, was born on July 29. 1857. His father is the head of the firm of Fletcher Sons & Co., Limited, of Man- chester, Engiand, one of the largest and best known cotton goods manufacturers in the Kingdom. . Joe's early days were spent at Holcomhe Lodge, the magnificent countrv home of the Fletcher family, surrounded by all that wealth and social position could afford, but at the age of 11 he left the old sod to visit an uncle in India, who was at that time judge of the Province of Lahore. For some reason or other the life did not sult young Joe, and he took passage at the age of 14 to Auckland, New Zea- land, remaining there until the year 1877, when he returned home and commenced Studies under a private tutor, the Rev. Archibald Egremont. His education up to this time, unfortunately, had been some- what neglected, but Joe improved wonder- fully under the reverend gentleman’s in- fluences, and became a first-class classical scholar. About this time he assumed fresh responsibilities in the shape of resi- dent agent for his father’s interests in liong Kong, China. The arduous duties and painful routine of a commercial life did not seem to suit him, and he again took passage for home and distinguished himself chiefly by his fearless riding after the hounds and his skill with the gun and at throwing the for that is a y. His penchant for dry wine, late suppers, etc., caused a slight misunderstanding with some of the members of his household, and during the World's Fair he came to Chi- cago. with authority to make monthly drafts on his father’s London bankers for the sum of 30 pounds sterling (or $140). This income he still retains, and his ‘‘ex- pectations’” are more than four times that amount. THE NATIONAL REGATTA. The New York Oarsmen Want the One to Be Held Next Year. NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—A meeting will be ealled in this city in a few days by men prominent in amateur rowing for the pur- pose of awakening general interest in the project to hold the championship races of this sport here next year. Atthe last meet- ing of the Harlem Regatta Association a committee of fiVe was appointed to begin the preliminary work and report ijater in the season. James Pilkington is chairman of the committee, and he has looked over every course in the vicinity which might be available for these races, and has concluded that the one along the Harlem River Speed- way possesses the best advantages. The next Harlem Regatta will be rowed on this course. The Harlem River has always that indispensable factor to the success of row- ing races—smooth water—and the Hudson River and Sound courses cannot be de- pended on in this respect. It is taken for granted among local oars- men that New York will get the-regatta. notwithstanding that Philadelphia and Bos- ton will undoubtedly big for it at the meet- ing of the Executive Committee of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen to decide the matter. An international regatta will be held in Paris next September, and it has been set- tled for some time that the winners of next year’s senior Nght oared shell race in the national regatta will be sent to Paris to represent the amateur oaremen of the United States. A single and double may also be sent there. It will cost $5000 to send this crew to Paris, and the money will be raised by oarsmen in this city. A Match Cakewalk. The Knights of Maccabees gave an_ en-~- tertainment last night at Fraternal Hall on Franklin avenue, at which there was @ cake walking match. The prize was won by Master Charlies Hunsfeld and Little Tot Murphy, who were matched against the Roettger children. The prize was a hand- some silver cup. VERISCOPE. PICTURES, STUART AND RECTOR FALL OUT OVER THEIR. PROFITS. A VERY INTERESTING STORY. According to One Side the Corbett and Fitzsimmons Pictures Cleared $120,000. Dan Stuart, the well-kn6wn fight promot- er, has been sued by E. J. Rector, inventor of the veriscope, for 15 per cent of the prof- its of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight pic- tures, In the papers filed in court by Rector he gives soma facts about that picture scheme that have never been told to the poming, public before, Mr. Rector claims that he formed 4 part- nership with Stuart for the purpose of se- cur.ng pictures of the fight. He invented the apparatus and Stuart furnished part of the capital for the neces3sury experi- ments. Rector says that while there was no fcr- mail contract, it was agreed between therm that he was to receive one-quarter of the net receipts after Fitzsimmons and Cor- Fett had been taken care of. Stuart gave the men to understand that they formed a corporation, ‘but, as a maite* of fact, Dv such corporation existed when the agree- ment was signed. Stuart managed the en- tire affairs of the corporativun. He sold the right to use the pictures in various territories and received ail the pror- its from exh bitions. Mr. Rector says that by threatening to bring Stuart into court the fighters got about $0,000 three months after the contes:. Stuart was mace treasurer of the coinpany iit a salary of $75 a week and traveled wich the exhibi- tion. When Rector demanded his share of 15 per cent of the receipts was told by Stuart that he had no interest in ihe corporation, and even if he had there Were no profits to divide, as all :he noney hac been expended in the interest of the con- cern among the Legisiatures «of various States. Mr. Rector said that Stuart had once admitted to him in ccnversation that the profits hac amounted to over 3120,000. —— ee THE AMATEUR ATHLETES. Those of the New York Club Did Great Work at Boston. Thirteen firsts, one dead heat for first place; eleven seconds and five thirds was the record made by members of the New York Athletic Club at Boston in the con- tests for the national championships. This is a remarkable record for the athletea of es J club, and everyone is proud of the re- SUITS. The only event lost was the 100-yard dash, which was won.by Duffy of Boston, and, in this event, ~Kraenzlein was a close second. It was claimed by some that Duffy beat the pistol by nearly a yard, and then Kraenziein made him run in 10 seconds at to win. In the trial heat Duffy was timed 94-5 seconds, but as there was a brisk wind blowing at the time, and in his favor, it is doubtful-if the record will stand. The dead heat wae between the Grant Brothers. Alexander of the New York Ath- letic Club and “Dick’’ of Concord. “Alec” had previdusly won the one-mile race, and was expected to win the five-mile race handily, but he appeared to tire badly at the end, and his brother, getting up, made a dead heat. The team went to Boston on Friday after- noon, the 25th, and. when the men reach the track at Riverside they were. royally welcom 12 With the Amateurs.

There wiil be a winter hotel, with speculative attachments in the form of high-class racing and high- class gaming, similar to that which re- dounds to the prosperity of Saratoga in the summer season. One of its prime promo- ters is Otto Mears, a multi-millionaire of Colorado. A United States Senator is an- other stockholder, while some of the prom- inent New York politicians connected with racing are also said to be interested. The location ts in Prince George County, Mary- land, on Crute’s Bay, an inlet of Chesa- peake Bay, and the land Its level and ad- mirably adapted for racetrack building. [t is about thirty miles from the Capital; and as a rerequisite, a railroad was neces- sary. That is aiready about compieted, and the hotel is also nearing completion. Alto- gether, it Is estimated that so far about $500,000 has been expended on the new re- sort. Just now everything is tied up through some litigation with the engineer- in-chief, who objected to proposed altera- tions of his plans. But that will quickly he settled, so the promoters say, and then they will go ahead with the sacetrack building and other improvements. The in- tention is to build a mile track. The cli- mate is very mild, and racing could be con- tinued practicaily throughout the entire winter. Connected with the hotel will be one or more clubs, where those who have A leaning toward king 1aTO cut indulge in their favorite pastime. Maryland has an anti-racing law that was the resulr of the ‘law Facing at Iron Hill and Singerly in ecil County two or three years ago.

All Consumptives were Catarrh victims. They took cold, Catarrh had prepared the way for Consumption. Tubercular Consumption ever requires @ break in the membranes which line the Dreathing tubes. Catarrh furnishes the broken places in the form of raw spots. The germs of Consumption from the air can only enter the system when they find a Taw, sore, discharging surface. While no intelligent or self-respecting doctor: to-day claims that all cases of Consumption are of a Catarrhal character, still, if the his- tory of every case of Consumption was VA ~— Mrs. H. Sensel, 5751 Easton av., city, one of the patients discharged as cured of Severe Bronchial Catarrh by Doctors Copeland and (Treating of the Relation of Catarrh to | Thompson. written, it would be found to consist of the story of frequent colds that were left un- cured; colds that did not get well them- selves; colds that came every spring and got better in the summer, but ¢ame back worse in the fall and winter; colds that were followed by Catarrhal symptoms—a discharging nose, sore and inflamed throat, hawking of mugus, with coughing and spitting. The expelled air of a Consumptive fre- quently contains the seeds of the disease, The material which Consumptives cough up also contains these germs, which, after having dried in the air, are blown around and inhaled by other persons, It is seen at once that those who live in a section where Consumption is prevalent should be very particular to keep their bodily hé¢alth at a high standard and never ailow themselves to have Catarrh-affected, sore, inflamed, discharging nose, throat or Bronchial Tubes, through which the Consumptive germs may gain admission to the system. The most potent element that can be used to banish Consumption is the cure of Ca- tarrh, the disease that makes the develop- ment of Congumption possibie. 9 The F irst Seven Days Medicine and Treatment Are Given Away.

In 1879 he went to Baiti- bet on Ten Broeck in the great Parole, who experienced no in defeating the Kentucky rec- ord breaker and Tom Ochiltree in one of the most exciting races ever run. Young bet his bundle on Ten Broeck, and after the race discovered that he wags in a etrange land with but little money and %0 miles from Lexington. He returned to Kentucky, but ag was mighty Lght yicking, for all the loose cash of Kentucky ad been gathered in by the rapacious Eastern turfmen who placed their faith in | Parole and their dollars in the pool box on his chances. In the spring of the next year he pur- chased Beatitude at Nashville for $500, and later on Bancroft for $% and $500 addil- tional when the horse won a race. John Carter. who lost his life tn the Palace Hotel fire, went on Yoting’s note, so the purchase of Bancroft was really the be- gnning of his career asa a turfman. Bootiack was the medium of one of Young's famous plunges, and furnished him with capital to race on an extensive scale. He purchased many colts and fillies and gave them to Ed Brown, known as “Brown Dick,” to train, Troubadour was one of them.

Returned St. Louis Soldier Thinks Otis Should Be Made Military Gov- ernor of Philippines. Ja the opinion of Fred W. Fout, a Bt. Giuis man, just back from eervice in the ‘Philippines, Gen, Otis should be put in command of that country ae Military Gov- Srnor, and elther Lawton or some active man be made the military chief In active warfare. He has great respect for Otis, but thinks that he has more than he can do, at present, and that a younger, more active and aggressive man should have command in the field. “Gen, Otis is one of the hardest working men in the service,” said Fout Friday. “Hie is at hie desk at 7:39 aiclock in the morning, and he stays there all day, till 6 o'clock in the evening. And he hag his staff on duty with him: He devotes his time to the utmost details. He Is given much to that sort of thing, and another man would be better in active command of the fleld operations. Of course, Otis Is blamed for everything that happens now, and a great deal that does not happen. Tf he had the administrative power as Military Governor and some fighting gen- eral pushed the field operations, the war over there would not last long. “Many of the complaints from_ there the men who enlisted for six months after the end of the Spanish War. They heard that they were entitled to dis- charge, and they became homesick, and when a man is homesick he will do and gay many things that he will regret after- wards. But those men are being relieved rapidly now, and the ones who are taking their places are going out to fight, and I think things will be better hereafter. Three regiments of regulars were affected by this condition to the extent of two-thirds of ‘his their numbers. The volunteers are being gent home rapidly,- and the new Unite i States volunteer regiments are going to the ront, and the opinion is that the Filipino Army will be destroyed when the fall cam- paign progresses. = e feeling among the men over there ifs that the Filipinos should be well licked. ey are a tricky lot, and it is hard work ifighting them. You see a town strongly lentrenched, and after the fo re shelled and the insurgents driven ou he army seems to melt away, and all that Is left of it in the town is a handful of niggers called who are eager to take any old Aguinaldo keeps well behind his ‘army, a mile or two, and our sharpshoot- ers and scouts, alert as they are, have not been able to geet a crack at him, “Really, though, I think the Filipinos are capable of self-government. The Ma- mila fire department is manned by them and they do very well. They also work on the streets, and the‘United States authort- ties afe preparing to put them in as police in the city. They are not given to overt acts in the city, and they show capacity for self-government. The feeling among our men is that we should have some sort of hold on the islands; they are very rich But that the natives could conduct an in- ternal government of their own is certain.”’ Fout enlisted in Light Battery D, Sixth Artillery, and left his home for San Fran- isco July 23, 1898. Thence he was sent to anila, arriving at the Philippine capital } . 6 Soon afterward, at Cavite. he was jassigned to special duty with Provost Mar- hal Dennis Geary of the First Californta \Hieavy Artillery. He acted in that capacity laill Dec. 27. He was on the firing line with battery for some time: then he was made receiving clerk at Otis’ headquarters, mos of his-time while In Manila was epent in doing special duty as such. He Manila July 31 last, soon after being discharged, by the United States transport nt, returning by way of San Francisco and arriving here Thursday morning. 8S receiving clerk Fout had the reception by all orders, cablegrams and other papers that came to headquarters. He kept the Maps that showed the: position of every | any, battery, regiment and headquar- In the fleld. He speaks especially well 0 Twelfth Infantry, of which mony bers came from St, Louis, and also 6 Third Artillery. In both these corps t Louis has a special pride. : | Funston, says Fout, has not been over- fated; he considers him the especial hero fof the war out there. He is looked up to y everybody: his personal interest in ev- man in the Twentieth Kansas mado im the idol of his mem, and that regiment Which was on the firing line longer than any other, never uttered a complaint, he @ays. This he largely attributes to the Pride of Kansas in [ts soldiers. / Bumming it up, Fout thinks that the war Will be ended during the coming campaign =—if an active man is put in command of the fleld troops. He says that several of the Filipino chiefs want,to quit, and men- tions one who was without doubt shot be- cause he wanted to surrender. He believes there will be 39).000 active United States men there when the ball starts to rolling again, and that, despite the drawbacks tha country offers in the way of natural olbsta- xe8 to a fast warfare—rivers, rice sloughs nd the like—the troops will drive the reb- Ig‘to the hills and there finish them, _ THEY WERE WED AT CLAYTON.| Robert A.

The city has brought friendly suits against Eliza and Mary Hollrah and the Public Administrator to collect $2355.06, al- lewed to be due for board. This ts the first case on record in this court where a city sued for the amount of a board bill. When the sisters were admitted to the Insane Asylum in 1893 they had no property and went there as paupers. Their cases were mild and later they were transferred to the Poorhouse. Four years ago the wom.- en became heirs to the estate of their brother Henry. The city holds that since then they have not been paupers and should pay for their board.

An early morning fire in the basement of the Luyties Homeopathic Pharmacy Co., 306 North Broadwey, caused about §1500 damage to the shipping department The fire in itself was not as important as its effect upcn the United Rallways Co. The hour was 7:30 o’clock, when every available car is. put in service to handle the rush downtown. A blockade on Broadway means a blockade on all _ of the loop. The fire so near Broadway and Olive street caused the DlockaGge that was needed to complete the utter discomfiture of the trav- eling public. All the Lindell cars that run over the loop, the Broadway cars and the Union De- pot line cars, were bunched in a long string cn Broadway, Pine, Twelfth, Washington avenue, Sixth and Locust streets. The Suburban, Union, Northern Central, South- ern Electric, Léndell and Union Depot cars were stranded on Sixth street. The Olive street cars were stalled. The Laclede cars took a new switch down Market instead ot coming down Olive. Passengers who were in a hurry, and that description fits nearly everybody at that time in the morning, had to leave their cars at all manner of out of the way places, Twelfth and Wash- ington avenue, Ninth?fand Pine, Eighth and Olive, Sixth and Locust, Broadway and Market, Sixth and Locust, and take the remaining value out of their nickels in walking, and arriving late at their places if business. The blockade on Broadway lasted half an hour. The little fire that caused ail this trouble was extinguished in that time. It was confined to the basement of the drug store, which is used as a shipping room. John een who was in charge of the store, thought the fire had been started by exploding sewer gas. No one was in the basement when the fire started. ‘The first warning was a slight explosion. The base. ment was filled with wooden boxes, bottles, wrapping material, excelsior and drugs. The blaze was extinguished with very little water, and there was no damage to the stock in the store. $1.00 ROUND TRIP VIA ATR LINE To Centralia, Mt. Vernon, Fairfield, Mt.

ARRESTED WHEN 11 YEARS OLD She Has Been Charged With All Sorts of Crimes, From Petty Larceny, to Murder. Though she is only 19 years old, Gussle Krugel, who was arrested in Last St. Louls, Thursday, by Detectives Schmidt und Caudle, and brought across the river to answer a charge of larceny, has a rec- ord that but few women thrice her age can equal. She has been In jail charged with steal- ing; she has been there on the charge of murder and twice she has inade attempts at self-destruction. The charge against her now !s the taking of three dresses from Mrs. Lilen Smith, 2 South Sixth street, where vhe was former- ly ye ge She will also have to ex- — ow certain articles of silver.vare ne the marks of the Planters’ Hote! came into her possession, Gussie worked at this hotel for a while during the early part of the summer. Her parents’ name is Kranss and they live at 6321 Shaw avenue. Gussie first at- tained notoriety when she was only a tot ll years of age. Then she entered St. Liborius Church, at Hogan and North Mar.-. ket streets, and stole soms of the siiver service, Detective John Bambrick arrested her for this and she wae held as a prisoner for several days. The good priest could not bring himself to prosecute the mefe child and she was released. ler parents were so incensed at her ac- tions that she was sent .» ihe House of Refuge. The iron bars at this institution could not hold her and one night she tere her bed clothing into strips and escayved into the yard. She scaled the walls and made her way back to her usual haunts. She and Della McGarry were boon com- panions, and Gussie made her home w.th the McGarrys, near Fourteenth and O’Fal- lon streets. Gussie’s liberty was short lived. Near Thirteenth and Monroe streets was a cigar dealer, and Gussie ‘broke into the etore one hight and took cigars, valued at $200. Detective. Bambrick recovered the goods and arrested the girl. Again fortune fav- ored and the cigar dealer refused to prose- cute. Meantime, she and Delia McGarr - tinued to make history. They were \con. stantly together. One night Della McGarry concluded that life was not worth living and she swallowed a big dose of paris green. She confided in Gussie, and, through sympathy, Gussie followed Delia’s lead. City Hospital doctors saved the lives of the giris The next time Gussie was arrested the grave charge of murder was placed against her. A woman by the name of Lulu Tits- worth lived on O’Fallon street, between PFighth and Ninth etreets. The Titsworth woman accosted Gussie and asked her to carry her baby for a while. The women quarreled. Gussie struck the Titsworth woman a blow with her fist. The woman reeled and fell, When she was picked up life was extinct. Gussie was arrested, ana when the Coroner’s inquest was held it was found. Later Gussie was released, the courts finding that the Titsworth woman's neck was broken by the fall and not by the biow w. While in jail awaiting trial Gussie Krause sustained an injury that came near roving fatal. The jail authorities thought t was an attempt at suicide, but the girl declared it was an accident. She had climbed upon the shoulders of her cellmate and while standing cast herself to the steel floor. She was in a delicate condition at the time and a serious surgical operation was necessary to save her life. Twice in her 19 years has Gussie Krugel been married. Her first husband was John Willmer, who, with their little boy lives in Hermann, Mo. They are separated b divorce. Her last husband is John Krugel, a soldier who served ima¢he Cuban war. He was discharged last May, but did not meet his wife until the night of her arrest. { Gussie Krugel] admits taking Mrs. Smith's dresses, but she declares she knows noth- ing about the Planters’ Hotel silverware, The Letter Writer Must have writing paper and Mermod & Jaccard’s, society stationers, Broadway and Locust, are-making a special offer of 110 | TRANSFORMATION OF THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE. BRILLIANT COLOR SCHEME. Manager Tate Saw His First Theatric- al Performance in the House He Will Now Manage. When the several thousand men invited to attend the informal opening of the New Grand Opera House to-night enter the foy- er they will find a new decorative scheme. For weeks a ‘big force of men has been at work on the building, and the interior would hardly be réco®nized .by one familiar with its old appearance, The Moorish effect that was its distin- guishing characteristic has been eiimi- nated. The lofty proscenium has been changed from an arch to an ellipsis and the | height reduced from 39 to 33 feet. Sur- mounting it are a series of oil paintings in light colors. On the sides instead of the aetates doors are decorated panels. he boxes have been altered so that in- stead of four on a side there are now five. This was accomplished by building out the dummy boxes on the second floor so that they hold six chairs. Those other dummy boxes up near the roof have been pomeves and in their places are paintings n oil. The color scheme is gold and rose and everything is lighter than it formerly was. In the golds there is a vast quantity of lacquered work that impresses the beholder as enormously expensive, but it Isn’t, and right there is one of the most interesting circumstances connected with the decora- tions. The sae ene work looks like gold leaf, but it is aluptinum,. This is something new in the decorator’s art. The aluminum leaf is, of couree, much cheaper than gold, and it can be distinguished from it only by an expert. It comes in sheets about 3x0 inches and is as light as swansdown. In order to produce the effect of gold lacquer the wood is coated with yellow sizing, then covered with the leaf, which is beaten in just as the gold is. Plush curtains will be used for the aren until about Oct. 20, when a newly-paint curtain will be ready, bout 10 new in- candescent lights have en put in. The lobby has been lined with mirrors and at one end there thangs a painting of Ben Debar and at the other a bust of John Norton. Both are the property of Phil oe who loaned chen to Manager ate. The chairs in the duditorium have been newly upholstered and new red damask curtains have been hung in the foyer. A notable coincidence in connection with Mr. Tate’s interest in the Grand is that In that house he saw a theatrical perform- ance for the first time in his llfe. “It was in 1865.” sald he to the Post- Dispatch, “and Deagle was running the house. He used to give ladies’ matinees, and to one of these my nother took mé. The play was ‘Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp.’ I can eee it all just as plain as though it were yesterday. I asked my mother a thousand questions when we got home. What I wanted particularly to know wae how the genni came through the oor. ‘Since Mr. Middleton and I got the house my mother said to me, ‘‘Frank, you used to ask me how the characters in ‘Aladdin’ paseed through the floor of the stage; no that you have charge of that theater want you to tell me how {t was done.’ “T told her all about the trap and countetf- weights and some day TIT am going to bring her down and show her how they aré worked.’’ ONLY AT THE BEGINNING.
