Books only tell about men, after all, and if you have the men themselves to study, why take them at second hand? They are a lot more fascimating as a study tn their proper persons. Dewey, for example. Wouldn't you rather have an hour's conversation with that man than to read all that was ever written of him? So would I.

Either a Misunderstanding or Inter- ference Caused a Par‘: in the Southern Town and All Or- ders to 11 a. m. Canceled. —— Some one, supposedly in New York, 1s declared to have worked a skin game on the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, and the consequence was that the exchange there closed part of Friday and declared off all orders received %y to 11 o’clock a. m. The game was worked by tapping the Wires, it is declared in New York, and while the Liverpool market, which fixes cotton prices the world over, closed off 2 points, the reports sent to New showed a rise of more than 40 po.nts, There was a panic on "Change there, and its in- flUuence was felt all over the country. But from the first the reports were held in sus- picion, as there was really nothing to justi- fy the sensational advance, and the ex- change suspended early in the day, pending an investigation. The cotton crop is held to be year, and the demand heavier than so that prices have been on the bull order for some time, but a jump of # points is unprecedented in all history of the trade. So, when it ticked over the w.res, there w consternation. The shorts ran for cover and the bulls howled with glee. succeeded this cond.tion at once, and the shutting down of the exchange followed quickiy. The Associated Press sent out this bulletin from New Orleans: “‘Intense excitement prevaiis on the Cot- ton Exchange here, and the directors of the Exchange have met and suspended busi- ness. The New York market is closed to- day, and the only quotations that were to come this morning to guide the local in- vestors were from Liverpool. The market had scarcely opened when the operators became paralyzed by the advice that clicked from over the ocean. It showed futures jumping in ieaps and bounds. In half an hour the reports showed that the Liverpool market had jumped nearly.a cent. The whole Exchange went wild and the ex- citement, spreading to the streets, gathered a crowd around the doors of the building. At W o’elock a meeting of the directors was called and prompt action was taken, suspending all business. “Operators are unab.e to explain the tre- mendous jump and the common belief on the floog Is that the wires have been tapped and that a gigantic swindling game is afoot somewhere. Private cables are going to Liverpool by dozens, seeking information.” Later, the Exchange received this tele- gram, which the Associated Press sent out from New York. The Commercial News Western Union Telegraph Co., has sent out the following explanation in connection with the suspension of the New Orleans Cotton Excha : The special Liverpool fluctuations to-day: The movement should protably have been made against the closing prices of yesterday, each muvement to short this usual, was Bureau of the be nade separately as it came and not to be added | collectively. The derstanding as to the manner of using the move- ment, GARDNER IRVING, Commercial News Bureau. This was accepted as the explanation. though the preponderance of opinion was that the wires had been tampered with. The decision of the Excaange was that in justice to itself and all concerned, it should deciare all orders received before 11 o’vlock as canceled. This it did, and thereafter things quieted down to their natura) level. A cotton broker here said that the situa- tion appeared reasonab’e to him, despite the | sensational rise. Said he: “The crop this year will be about 10,000,000 bales, and the consumption w:ll require 11.- (00,000 bales. Why shouid not prices go up? It would be the salvation of the South.’ Just after noon the following telegram was received through the Associated Press from New Orleans: advances at L4verpool, cables to prominent local ecoiton firms were bearing the news that the re le A been little or no change from yesiera. my in the Liverpool market. This at once aroused the suspicion of the operators and cause ~i the hasty meeting of the d.rectors. “The avtion of the directors in ordering a suspension of business checkeg a pan.-c, but only temporarily allayed tne excite- ment and there ‘s Suppressed anxiety (to know the eolution of the puzzle. During the 30 years of its existence this is the first time the New Orleans Cotton Exchange has been forced to order a Suspenson of all business. In 188, during the panic, a mo- tion to suspend businecs was offered, but was defeated because the New Or.eans Cot- ton Exchange feit it would be d.scredited before the wor! ld if it suspended. The d.- rectors officially announce that to-day’s suspension is due to fraud. “The exchange has dec.ded not to re- open for business until to-morrow.

The contract for this season of opera wae signed Thursday right by Manager Savage of the opera company son, president of the Exposition Co.

The various companies comprising the syndicate under thie name are the best of the'r kind, and they have been phe- nomenally succe esful. Starting some years ago in the Cast.e Square Theater .n Phil- ade ph'ia, they denro’atrated that comic opera of the highest class, well put on and art stically sung, with strong choruses and fine principals, was ,.what the maéses want- ed, if they could+- get it at prices low enough to enable them to attend. . Prices for opera are usually exorbitant, and the great mass of music-lovers is thereby ex- cluded from its benefits. The Castle Square company showed what was poss ble with good business sense, and after it had made a great hit In Philade phia the success was repeated by «another and similar company in New York.

Prompily at 1 o’clock squadron got under way. It wads an inspiring moment when the column started up the harbor and the great waval parade began to be a reality. First came the police boat Patrol, which was the apex of a wedge spreading out to the fireboats ‘New Yorker and Van Wyck, which followed abreast. The steamer San- dy Hook, having on board the Mayor and and the shores lined The dec- the representatives of the City of New York, with the standards of the city flying from the fore and aft masts, steamed alongside of the Olympla, the flagship of Admiral Dewey, on the port side. After the O.ympia came the armored cruiser New York, the flagship of Rear- Admiral Sampson, with her big guns and turrets appearing like a moving fortress as she followed in the wake of the Admirai’s ship. The Chicago brought up the rear of the column, Following the New York were the two first-class battleships Indiana and Massa- chusetts. In the rear of these modern en- gines of war came the Lancaster, the type of the old navy vessels of the Hartford ciass Then followed ‘the gunboat Marietta, small by comparison with the Lancaster, with the auxiliary cruiser Scorpion behind, Abreast steamed the torpedo boats Porter, Dupont, Ericsson, Winslow and Cushing, and following them came the natty revenue cutters Manning, Algonquin, Gregham, Windom and Onondaga. Next in line were the transports Sedge- wick, MaPherson and McClellan, and after them came alone the hospital ship Mis- souri., NAVAL MILITIA AND YACHTS. Then began the civic and maritime as- pect of the parade.

Then followed two abreast 98 graceful, magnifi- cently appointed yachts, led by the Cor- sair, the flagship of Commodore J. Pier- pont Morgan, and Sir Thomas Lipton's Erin, ’ After the yachts came 100 steamships of with three flagships, in single file; then five steamers abreast, and the remainder in files of two. The third and last division of the pa- rade consisted of more than 100 handsome- ly decorated tugs, yachts, pleasure craft, ete. There were sidewheelers, propellers, electric boats and every kind, except a sail- ing vessel. CHEERS FROM THE SHORE. It was about 12:42 wher the armored crulser New York, the flagship of Rear A:l- miral Sampson, hoisted the signal for read- iness. There was a sudden tooting of brassy bugles, and excitement and bustle on ail the big War vessels. The crowd was alert. The police boat Patrol with stand- ards set and signals flying, fired a gun. The New York broke out the signal] to up-har- bor. There hanging about the Metailic warships. Promptly at 1 o'clock every vessel started to turn about, as most of them had their prows pointed down the harbor. The crowds sent up cheer after cheer as the Olympia slowly moved around. The parade was off the Batlery at 1:46 and the crowds assembled there cheered time and again as the warships passed. From that point all the way up the river until Grant's tomb was reached, there Was a suc- cession of scenes of enthustasm, rarely, if ever, equaied in this or any other city.

Irom the roof of the appraiser's stores a massive kite was flown and from it there fluttered, high up in the alr, a large Amer- fean flag. After the warships Sir Fhomas Lipton’s steam yacht, the Erin, was much ap- plauded. Sir Thomas Lipton had taken up @ position on the bridge of the Erin the moment she got under way to guide the Starboard column, and, except for a few minutes spent on the quarter deck, just after passing the Battery, he remained at the side of the skipner, Capt. Mathews, waving his yachting cap in response to the salutes, unti] after the Erin rounded the turning point off Grant's tomb. There were many distinguished guests on the Erin, in- cluding the Hon.

When the parade reached a point oppo- site Hoboken a welcome to the Admiral was fired from a cannon on the green in Hudson Park. The crowds on the Jersey shore were fully as large as those on the New York side of the river.

Cannon roared, the people yelled and flags and handkerchefs were waved from the streets and hundreds of roofs and win- dows. There were thousands of persone on the roofs of the houses rear the river and park, and windows were crowded, From all these people and the hundred thousands in the park came shouts of welcome and cheers for the Admiral as the Olympia passed by. The scene was !nepliring all along. Mount Tom, which used to be the site of an oid fort, had 7000 or 8000 persons on it. It was one of the best points of view of the River- side Park. The Riverside drive was lined on both s‘des with unbroken strings of carriages, The grandstands were filled and the cheering continued from the time the Olympia hove in e'ght until she was away up the river. The Olymnvia rounded the stakeboat St. Mary off 125th etreet at 2:30 o'clock amid deafening sounds of cannon ard cheers from the largest crowd ever gathered in this city. The parade was one hour and 15 minutes passing Fulton street. The vessels moved about 8 knots an hour.

How it is that you have ever rated my work so much I cannot understand.

LOUIS 1 i. nee \) Pe ee 4, “KRUGER YIELDS NOTHING ENGLAND MUST ACT = =. nea, - The British Cabinet Considers Its Response to the Firm Reply of the Transvaal to Chamberlain. = THE BOERS HAVE GIVEN UP ALL HOPE OF A-PEACEFUL SOLUTION. ——_-o—__—— Kruger Says War Cannot Be Averted Now; British Troops Are Massed on the Border and the Conflict Is Forced Upon Him; England Must Yield or Fight. — LONDON, Sept. 2.—War between England and the Transvaal can hardly be averted now. The first blow may be struck on the Na- tal border at any hour. Kruger has replied to Chamberlain's last | mote. and the British Cabinet has con- sidered the reply and prepared a response. In neither of these steps is there much hope for peace. The Transvaal reply is that the republic @trictly adheres to the London Convention and asks nothing further. The question of the suzerainty of Great Britain over the Transvaal is not touched upon. CHAMBERLAIN’S PROPOSALS, At the British Cabinet meeting to-day Chamberlain proposed that the response to Kruger include these demands: An indemnity for the cost of sending out troops. The disarmament of the Transvaal forts. The suppression of Dr. Leyd’s Legation. Judicative and legislative for the judges. The equality of the English and Dutch languages and full and complete admission of the supremacy of British interests throughout South Africa. What the action of the Cabinet will be is mot yet been made public. KRUGER HAS LOST HOPE. A dispatch to the Times from Pretoria says: “It ia generally expected that a etate of war wiil be proclaimed at any moment. President Kruger granted me an interview to-day, and declared he had done all pos- afble for the sake of peace. He had ac- cepted Mr. Chamberlain’s own offer of a common inquiry, but Mr. Chamberlain de _liberately broke the thread of negotiations, troops were massed on all sides and war forced upon him. It was impossible to ac- cede to the dispatch of the 12th. “Such a course would have given tne land and people into the hands of strang- ers. Aa it was his seven years proposal would, according to the field cornet books, enfranchise W&,000 persons, which was more than the whole number of the old burgh- ers; yet not one has come forward to take it. In conclusion I asked if there was still a possibliity of peace. “*No,” he replied, adding after a pause, ‘unless the other aide will do something to make peace poesibie.’ ”’ : The correspondent adds that perhaps it is worth pointing out that the commando in question did not arise until 1894, after the franchise had been restricted by the law of 1891, “which makes it d.fficult to see why the former should account for the latter.”’ LONDON, Sept. 29.—The meeting of the British Cabinet, on whose deliberations ractical.y hangs war or peace in South frica, began at 1 o'clock this afternoon. President Kruger’s reply to the last note of the imperial! government has now been received and will be the pivot of to-day's discussion. A dispatch from Cape Town, cabled to the Associated Press, is given , the leading piace in the afternoon papers. While it is too brief to give an adequate idea of the Transvaal'’s attitude, the im- pression it produced was rather favorabie than otherwise. The crowds began to gather in the vi- cinity of the foreign office as early as 11 ‘clock. The Home Secretary, Sir Matthew hite Ridiey, was the first to arrive, at 11:16. Mr. A. J. Balfour, First Lord of the Treasury, came down from Scotland, and Lord Sal:sbury came from Hatfield. They reached Downing street short.y after noon, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of Btate for the Co.onies, drove to the Co- Jonial Office at 12:15 p. m. As he passed through the crowd assembled in Whitehall he was greeted with cheers, which were renewed when he alighted. A large force of jice was stationed about Downing street, ut perfect order was maintained. SIGNS OF WAR EVERYWHERE. A telegram received to-day says two bat- teries of field artillery and sw burghers have started for Voiksrust and that an- ° 500 men go there to-day. The streets iat Pretoria present a scene of great mili- tary animations Armed burghers and ar- tilerymen are riding about, the field cor- nets being engaged in warning the burghers to be in readiness at a moment's notice. A quantity of ammunition for Maxim guns is reported to have arrived at Harry- smith and the burghers at Bremersdorp re- ceived rifies and amunition yesterday. The men are pract.cing with the Maxim gun. A nutnber of young Boers who have been udying at Cape Town have started for e. he Voiksraad, in secret session, _— a high treason bill, providing he confiscation of the property of fehers who refuse service. A proposal Was submitied to make the confiscation tive, so «as to include certain mil- res, but it was rejected. A dispatch from Johannesburg reports a meeting o: tlhe wholesale and retail mer- te there to consider the steps to be for the protection of the town. The nm said he had been informed that pada eae did not intend to expel the subjects in the event of war. _ A resolution was passed in favor of form- & guard, composed of merchants, prop- and others, and empowering a procure funds to carry on ta municipal government.

Retribution has come upon Dr. Hyatt, the man who makes the weather. Last summer he scorched and roasted the citizens of St. Louis and took a ghoulish delight in the torture he was iniitcting, while in the act of making a new record. Now this same man, once so arrogant and ruthless in the exercise of his power, Is freezing to death in his lair at the top of the Custom House. Friday morning his face was blue and pee and his teeth chattered, and his ands were so cold he no longer had any control over the weather machine and was unable to shut off the cold biasts that were swir.ing around hin: Yet, though slowly perishing, he was true to his instincts. In the face of death he was almost happy in the thought that oth- ers besides hiniself were suffering. All over the Federal Building were men and women = a few degrees warmer than the man !n the dome, And colder than all were the steam coils and registers in the corridors and offices. None of them were work. ng. The grates in the offices were cheeriess, though frost was on the windows. The frigid atmosphere about the building was the result of Uncle Sam’s economy and ineistence on the strict observance of regulations. Federal Building no coal is to be given out or no.steam turned into the reg.sters before Oct. 1. There are tons and tons of coal in the basement, but it is not work- ing just now. In some myster'ous way the clerks in the Internal Revenue Office got hold of a aecuttleful Friday morning and started a fire in the grate. Then a guard was set over it to prevent clerks in other depart- ments from stealing the red hot coal, Oc- casionaily a piece wou.d pop out and there would be a grand rush of the guards to put it back on the fire. aL are wondering up at the Federal Building why Dr. Hyatt does not reieve the situation vy distributing some of the hot air wh.ch he dispensed so generously during the summer.

STIEFEL HAS BEEN CAPTURED Reward of $200 Had Been Offered for the Man Suspected of Incendiar- ism in New Madrid. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW MADRID, Mo., Sept. 3.—Gam H. Stiefel, who is charged with having started the fire Tuesday nignt that burned half the business section of the city, is now In jail. He was found last night in an old barn where he has been hidden since the fire. A reward of $230 for his capture had been offered. Stietel for some time had con- sorted with a negro woman. A com- mittee waited on him and gave him a stated time in which to leave the wo- man. He refused. Then a written notice was served on him to leave the town.

Two juvenile highwaymen relieved John Barrett, a messenger boy, of a week's earn- ings in a shrewd manner Thursday even- ing. Johnnie is employed by the Postal Teie- graph Co., and is accounted one of the brightest lads in the service. During Thursday he made several ex‘ra pennies, and added’ them to the surpius cash which he carried in a small purse. While crossing the vacant lot_ between the Missouri Pacific and San Francisco Railroads, Kentucky and Wittenberg ave- nues, he was stopped by two boys, neither apparently over 15 years of age. “Say,” said one of the short pants foot- pads, sopra’ ane “You got some tobacco tags beionging to me.’ “N,o haven't,” protested Johnnie, ‘**oguse I don’t know you.” “Well, you'll have prove you haven't got them,”’ was the rejoinder; “so throw up your hands and let's search you. Young Barrett obeyed. When Jhonnie felt the hand going after his purse he resisted. A savage blow in the face brought him to time. “The kid’e got coin enough for a couple dozen cans,”’ remarked the two in chorus, as they counted out 75 cents in nickels and nnies. Johnny buret Into tears. ‘Let me keep half, anyhow,” he pleaded, The robbers hooted at the request and then, giving the youngster a kick In the side, ran away. Johnnie reported his loss at the police sta- t and then went home disconsolete.

Probably all Africa will be aprropriated within a few decades. This is imperialism. Is it right? That is not the question. Imperialism in these days is only a means to an end—$. An Administration organ says: “The war does not seem to be running up an alarming total of expenses, Last month the expenditures on account of the War Department were $15,000,000. This month they navy still keepe running along on between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 a month.” What would be an “alarming total’ of war expenses’? If it costae so much to fight a single tribe of Filipinos as these figures indicate, in what condition would & teal war leave us? = = i JUGGLING WITH WORDS. President Schurman of the Philippine Commission in his Cornell address Thursday distinguishes very properly between a sovereign right of government and ownership or a right of property. “The sovereign power owns nothing,” says Mr. Schurman, “but there is something it owes. It is charged with the re- sponsibliity of government.” Under the treaty then, we acquired the right to assume the responsibility of government. $20,000,000. This, however, is a mere naked right; to perfect it we are paying $1,000,000 a day more or less and the “right’’ seems to be as far from perfection as when we began. To use 1 slang term, the Spaniards sold us a gold brick. had a “right’’ under the law to “assume” that the brick was gold, but alas: it wasn’t. Nobody is so foolish as to suppose that we “own” the Phil- ippines. But the Filipinos deny our right to assume the re- sponsibility of governing them. They prefer to govern them- selves. This is an American preference, declared in 1776, and consistently maintained as a natural right of all men, until we suddenly set it aside in 1898 in favor of the right of might. This is the truth about the Philippines. No jugglery with words and phrases can obscure so plain a fact. ‘Gen. Lawton thinks that the Filipinos will make good Americans. If that is the case they cannot be bad Filipinos. i, li, Mi te CITIES BREEDING LIONS, The lordly lion is being rapidly exterminated in his native wilds. But we are not to lose sight of him on this account. The cities have gore into the lion breeding business. At the New York Zoo the other day three young lions were born. Philadelphia, however, did better than this. She has four fine lion cubs. They are, as a woman might say, “as pretty as a picture.” The lion has learned to live in captivity, and with the increase in number of zoological gardens as cities grow and get rich, there will be lions all over the land. If America should ever revert to savagery, many of these beasts would doubtless escape and become wild. Then the scientist of some future century would have to solve the prob- lem as to how the King of the Jungle got here. There is a big stack of complaints against Gen. Otis, but he has the confidence of the President, and they don’t count. If Otis is guilty of procrastination and inconsistencies, he is ex- actly in line with the Administration. President McKinley has dallied and dawdled ever since he entered the White House. —— '-- Ray rhetoric and declamation about traitors and the old flag will deceive no intelligent person. Mark Hanna and his orators are not exactly the men to inspire confidence when they disparage the patriotism of men who have served their country for a lifetime—without getting rich. If Niagara River its to be dammed in order to raise the waters of Lake Erie, Lake St. Clair and Lake Huron, shal! Chicago have a canal to lower the waters of Lake Michigan, Lake Huron and Lake Superior and to add to the volume of the destructive Mississippi overflows? . — a -_-—_— The man Blake, who is raising an American corps to fight for the Boers, is as bad as the man Atkinson. If we do not stand by Mr. Bull in his war expansion policy, how can we expect him to stand by us in our Asiatic invasions? Admiral Dewey says that the pay of a single American seaman would pay a whole shipload of Spaniards. This may account for some of the poor marksmanship of the Spanish gunners. ‘ A & « rw Se One of the most unimportant persons in the United States is former Gov. Pattison of Pennsylvania. His support of our war expansion is not in the least a serious matter. — > & i i It is said that the War Department has refused Gen. Shaf- ter’s requisition for a brougham.

With tons of uncollected garbage in our own cities, we are spending thousands of dollars for the sanitation of Philip- pine towns. = |S ™ — i oe POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. Dewey's Chinese are chinks of another color. There can be no doubt about the happiness of the Dewey rela- tives. Mayors are generally more efficient in skinning taxpayers than in husking corn, It is a wise son that knows his own father’s politics, if we may believe our Dewey. The Gritish are after Missouri mules. It is better to walk in front of these useful beasts, Care killed a cat, and it would probably do as much for the scarlet fever germ that doesn’t kill cats. The standing street railway passenger does not feel that his Standing has been affected by the street railway consolidation. Prince Ranjitsinjhi ran well enough against British cricketers, but found himself bowled out when he stood up against the curve-sling@e Yankee. There are thousands of qualified beer inspectors in St. Louls and they can inspect the bottom of a glass within 3 seconds of scrutinizing the froth on top. Sterling Dair, whoremoved hot iron filings from his eye with a pocket magnet and then went on with his work, ought to be on the gun deck of the Olympia. The Dewey cannonade at Little Rock broke 20 windows in the Arkansas State House. No sacrifice is too great when admiration for the Admiral is to be shown. Bill McKinley will laugh at this joke from the Washington Post: “Tom Reed will never be able to forget the fact that he was compelled io penetrate private life in order to get a $50,000 job.”’ It is to be regretted that all the schoolgirls In the South cannot visit St. Louis every year. The Mississippi girls who have been at Meramec Highlands have returned to their homes healthy and happy. Dewey is to be driven about in Washington in a carriage ex- actly such as is used by European royalty. There are Americans who would be exceedingly happy in a royally built vehicle—one in which some stupid royal person had been driven preferred. But Dewey is not one of that kind. = = -~ ee ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. WALTER GORDON.—Inquire of stationers. A READER.—Inquire at the telephone office. MARY D.—There is no premium on a dime of 184.

He looks at the World’s Fair from two standpoints—that of the public official of long ‘experience and that of the business man, interested in the improvement of real estate and the advance of the real estate market. His con- clusions are clear and forceful. He finds a number of convincing reasons for the World’s Fair, and for a united effort to assure its success. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. St. Louis needs the combined effort of every citizen to the end that the con- templated World's’ Fair in 1903 be carried to a successful conclusion. The materia] benefits resulting to our city and its citizens are so vast and far reaching that all classes are vitally interested in the subject. ment that a successful Fair will give. St. Louis should have the advertise- cad St. Louis wants the stimulus that will be given her business interests by a suc- cessful Fair. - St. Louis needs the public improvements that will surely come with a suc- cessful Fair. St. Louis needs the people and the money that will center here about a suc- cessful Fair. Therefore, I believe every citizen should take a personal interest in the suc- cess of the proposition, and I congratulate the Post-Dispatch on the work it has been doing for the cause. Very respectfully, St. Louis. WILLIAM M. HORTON. THE PRESS IS UNANIMCUS FOR THE FAIR. Missouri Will Lead. From the Poplar Bluff, Mo., Citizen. Gov. Stephens has expressed himself as being heartily in favor of the Exposition or Fair, and he expressed the unanimous voice of Missourians when he said: “St. uls is pre-eminently an ideal location for this great Fair.’’ St. Louls is the great metropolig of the territory acquired. Its location is central, with unrivaled means of convenient access from all points of the compass; hase with- in its limits ample facilities for rapid transit and hotel accommodationg equal to any possible demands, supplemented by a generous and hospitable citizenship. St. Loulg affords a location than which none more suitable can be found in the country. the center of a vast commercial with great avenues -of trade ane transportation radiating in all direc- ons. The result of the great Exposition, held at St. Louis, will be of value, in a general way, to all of the Louisiana Purchase, but will be of special importance to Missouri and St. Louls. With: the people of the world as gueste, it will be a grand oppor- tunity and we should make the best of it. Representatives of intelligence, progress and inventive genius will be present and millions of people will view the exhibits. Other States will contribute liberally to the BPxposition, but Miseouri is expected to lead, and to do this, not only St. Louis, but the whole State must draw liberaliy upon all the resources wtthin Its limits and make a magnificent and extensive ex- hibit, commensurate with the greatness of the Grand Old State. World’s Fair Will Materialize. From the Shoe and Leather Gazette. Some people thought the cholera scare would hurt the World’s Columblan Expo- sition, but it didn’t. There is talk now about the bubonic plague @ed the Dreyfus scandal injuring the Paris show, but they won't. There are a few fai~t hearts who think the St. Louis Wor!d’s Fair won't ma- terialize, because a lot of doubters say it won't; but it will. One United Sentiment. ‘From the Brookfield (Mo.) Argus. The St. Louis pressions from prominent men of the coun- try, with a view of stimulating an enthusi- asm for the World’s Falr to be hel in that great city {n 1908. This is commendable in the Post-Dispatch. but that ought not to be necessary. There should be no need of any stimulating anywhere in thie great do- main known as the Loulsiana Purchase. There should be one united sentiment in favor of the World’s Fair. The Argus indorses every word written by Gov. Stephens to the Post-D-spatch. It has the right ring. ' Prospects Are Brightening. From the Mexico (Mo.) Ledger. The prospects for the World’s Fair at St. Louis in 198 are brightening every day and it is with pleasure the Ledger notes the indications are tending toward emi- nent success. The people of every com- Post-Diepatch wants ex-- munity in the State are vitally interested in this celebration of the Louisiana Pur- chase centennial, inasmuch as it is to be held in our own metropolis, now one of the greatest cities in the Union. It is gratify- ing to observe that the enterprise is meet- ing with encouragement from ali sections throughout the country, and is also being talked of abroad. While it is purely a na- tional affair, in point of attendance it will be international. The next Missouri Leg-s- lature wiil doubtless provide liberally for the success of the celebration. In the meantime let the people give it all the aid possible. Its success will redound to the glory of the great State of Missouri. Our Centennial Fair. From the St. Joseph, Mo., Gazette, The project for a World’s Fair at St. Louis in 1903, in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase, has assumed such proportions that it is no longer a question of whether or not the Fair shall be heid, nor a ques- tion of its magnitude, but simpiy a ques- tion of the best way to proceed. There is to be a World’s Fair at St. Louls, and it ie to be the greatest exposition the world has seen. The people of the terri- tory embracing the Louisiana Purchase are most directly interested, and it is for them to spin the warp upon which the come may be woven to a grand comple- tion. The residents of St. Louis have pledged $5,000.000 by private subscription. The State of Missouri, whoee people are no less in- terested than those who live in St. Louis, whose resources are practically without limit, and to whose credit and benefit the grand Fair will] redound, will next be catied upon to do its share. The people will do their duty by the Fair. They will “Stand up for Missourl,”’ as they never stood up before. And they will aleo expect their Legislature to make most liberal provision. The Miesourian is nothing if not hospitable. he peop'e of the world are to be his guests, and he wii! provide for them and show them the best there is to be had. But this hospitality will bear him good fruits, for the euccess of the Louisiana Purchase Centennial Ex- position will be beneficial to him, both di- rrectly and indirectly, in many ways. The world will learn to know Missourl, which means that Missour! will become one of the most populous States in the Union with- in the life of a generation, and by this the richest of them all. The time has now ar- rived for the people of Missouri to get down to business on this proposition, and to show proper interest in the plans that are to be proposed by the promoters. The Proper Sentiment. From the ‘Moberly Mo.) Democrat. | The letter of Gov. Stephens, found tn an- other column of this issue, breathes th proper sentiment. for the people of Missoufi to hold upon the World’s Fair question. To cause this sent'ment to become univer. sal throughout the State a large amount of educational work must be done most of which must be done by the newspaper of this commonwealth.

She sWam a mile in lh. 7m. 17 3-5". This was a world’s record, and a really marvelous feat, which no child has ever aitempted or accomplished before. Fritz Mayer, the swimming master of the natatorium. has been tra.ning the chiid for some time, and from the first she liked the water. She has often gone shorter dis- tances in fast time, but never before was she toid to swim as fast as she could fora whole mile. Little May started out at a pace that the trainer feared she could not hold, and_he cautioned her to go a bit slower. The girl obeyed and when she finished she was far from being exhausted. The child is not large for her age, nor does she eeem to have muscles developed to a much greater extent than other girls as young as she; but it is the op nion of all thatif she keeps at the game she will in time be one of the greatest female swimmers in the worid. Seventy-one and one-half times up an fown the tank of the North Side Natato- wium the littl sawimmer went. After the feat was over the little girl received enougn fiatiering praisee to turn the head of & maiden 16 years old instead of 6 But she minded them not, and as she placed her tny hands over her face and eped out between the open fingers at admiring visit- ors it took a decided stretch of ima to realize that she was the girl who h broken the world’s one-mile swimming rec- ord for 6-year-olce.

AYER: Please settle a discus- sion which we had ijast night about how you can tell whether an arm is beautiful or not. My friend eays that a beautiful arm ie” fat and has dimples, and that the wrist must be fat, too. How much should your wrist measure compared to your arm, or is there any measure, and bow can you make a thin. arm plump? If you will be so kind as to answer this you will set- tle a great argument. Whatever you say will de- cide it. ARABELLA. Your friend is not quite right, my dear Arabella. A beautiful arm is round, soft, smooth as satin, white aS milk and plump, but it is not fat. On the contrary, a fat arm is coarse. The perfect arm tapers gently down from the shoulder, with a littie curve at the wrist that is beyond words fascinating. No, large wrists are not pretty; they are distinctly unbeautiful. If you want to know whether yours is the proper size for your height, you can tell 7 measurin our thumb and third finger, whic just meet in a circle around the wrist.

And yet he sat with the bitter, idle Stare, clutching a dry pen.

ONE STRIKING ILLUSTRATION. ee Galoon Keeper Harry Grannemann Owes Two Months’ License Tax and Now It Can’t Be Collected. Saloon Keeper Harry Grannemann owes the city of St. Louis about $100 for saloon license. He has escaped paying it through laxity and legeydemain. The laxity was on the part of the Excise Commissioner's office. Legerdemain is alleged on the part of Harry Grannemann. The riory does not derive its interest from the amount in- volved. The city can probab!y worry along Without the $100. The story vf Harry Gran- neman’s dealings with the offive of the Ex cise Commissioner is interesting occause it Warrants the presumption that it is only one of several similar cases. for years Harvy Grannemann kept a gro- eery stove at the southeast corner of El- ! liot avenue and Stoddard street. In the | reay of the store, fronting on Stoddard Sitect, and numbeved 2628) was a NHttle sa- lmon. Harvry caled it “Harry's Pla-e. These words, suggestive of comfortable fa- Millavity, are still on the wiadow Harry's license became due July 1. The police were ordered to “make cases” against all saloon keepers found without Heenses after July 3. This meant they were [to huve somebody buy liquor at each saivon Wiese proprietor had no license, the Nquor So purchased to be hed and used as evi- dence against the saloon keeper in the even? of his failure to take out 42 license. Somehow no ‘“‘case’’ was made against Hirvyy Grannemann. July merged into Au- mt, and Harry did not pay nis license. The was not taken note of in the office ot Kxcise Commissioner. Auguat Was waning before knowledge came to the Ex- clse Commissioner of the exicitenece of Harry Grannemann or his saloon On Aug. 238 the police reported to Mr. Higgins that “H. Grannemann”™ had removed his saloon from Pliot avenue and Stoddard street to the southeast corner of Eliiot avenue and Wash siveet. ’ The discovery was then made in the office the cvrrent six months, license for wl had been due nearly two months. Of that he had opened up in a new tocality without having filed the necessary petition or taken out a license for that p.ace. Phat was too much for even the complacent Ex- cise Commissioner's office. Deputy Groarty was sent out, to see Mr. Grannemann. Hie found that the saloon had heen moved all right, but Harry Gran- hemann said he had gone out of business, and it was his brother August who had opened up at the other place. A demand wus made for the payment of the back license, but it was not paid. The effort to get the back license continued iniermittentiy until Sept. 21. On that date August Grannemann went to the office of the Excise Commissioner and swore that he Was the owner of the saloon at Elliot avenue and Wash street, He ciaimed that he had bought ot his brother, but could not be mide to see that In so doing he had — his brother's obligations to the city. In spite of a good deal of misgiving tn the office of the Excise Comm.ssioner a license was issued to him. It was dated back to Aug. 26, to cover the period since tne saloon had been at the new location. Harry Grannemann, who owes the city two months’ license, is running the saloon at Elliot avenue and Wash street. There ig not enough in it to make the ownership of much consequence. The man who bourht the grocery store at Elilot avenue and Stoddard street from Harry Grannemann said Thursday in reply to an inquiry that Harry had ‘*moved” the Saioon tv Wiliot avenue and Wash street. A call was made at the new location. The barkeeper was asked if Mr. Grannemann wt Dag tie lives upstairs,” said the youn an. “I will call him down.” ’ — Hie went to the back stairs “Harry.”’ A voice answered and a moment later Harry Grannemann came down. Harry Grannemann’s connection with the Place is such that when “Mister’ Granne- mann is called for, the barkeeper assumes that Harry is meant and not August, the ostensible owner. Harry wanted to know whose business it was whether he had a license or not. His answer to a score of questions was ad- Vice to go and ask the Excise Commis- sioner about it. he presumption when the call was made there, was that the license had been “transferred” from the old location. a prac- tice which was exposed by the Major Committee. On Mr. Grannemann’s advice. a call was made at the Excise office and there it was learned that the reason for Hiarry’s excitability was his indebtedness to the city. It is admitted at the Excise office that these things often happen. They say they Cannot issue all the icenses within a month after they become due. This enables fa man to do business for 30 days with- out a license and then close up. The only Way they can get him is when he ap- plies for another licenee, if h so. They say they cannot prosecute him for selling liquor without a license be- cause he, having gone out of business, they cannot buy liquor at his place to make a case. The explanation of allowing Harry Gran- nemann to run twq months without being molested is that he Ean “overlooked.” eo i To Oklahoma Without Change of Cars.

The latter had just defeated Kilrain and was ambitious to go after bigger game. Ives had not yet acquired the name, the ‘Na- poleon of Billiards,’ but was recognized as a promising young expert. “Corbett and Ives became quite friendly during the latter's visit to the cosast. They met one night over a dinner table, in com- pany with several mutual friends. The cigars were lighted. “Tl will make you said Corbett. “ "What is it?’ asked the young expert. “*You beat Jake Schaefer playing bil- liards and I will yi 4 John L.

Already Sharkey is hard at work preparing himself for the mill, and he has a good start on his pros- pective opponent. Sharkey is not dal:ying away his time at his training quarters, but is working like a Trojan to bring his physica] condition to the highest possibie notch. Never before has Sharkey trained as hard for a ring contest as he is for the Jeffries battle, and he will step into the ring a mass of muscle and iron. Sharkey is training at New Dorp, 8.

Maher's recent quick victory. over Joe Kennedy has sent his stock away up and he will probably be favorite,.when the two meet. COL. BUTLER'S AUTOMOBILE A Wagonette, Controlled by Elec- tricity, Running Smoothly, Will Be the Style in St. Louis. - —- The ftirst automebile built west of the Mississippi River was seen on the St. Louis streets Thursday afternoon. It is a wagon- ette, seating eight persons, and it is run by electricity on the storage battery sys- term. It was built by a company, of which Col. Ed Butler is the controlling spirit, and it runs as smoothly as a good clock. It is the intention of this company make a number of these vehicles, in the form of traps, broughams and surries, and eventually they will be put in regular liv- ery service in this city, as the factory turns tliem out. Stations for the recharging of the storage batteries will be opened, and as the cost of operation is on.y 1l‘y cents per hour, it will be only a short time till they are in great demand. They are easy of op- eration, the one exhibited Thursday being romeo ete Oe without trouble by any of those who rode init, only a few moments’ in- struction being required. There are several automobiles city now, but they are nearly all gasoline motor machines. This one, run by electri- city, is noiseless and speedy, as 15 miles an hour can be attained without trouble. It is a pleasant way of riding, as those who tried it Thursday are ready to testify, and the sensation of bowling along through parks and boulevards at this speed, with no visi- ble means of locomotion, is novel. The trial trip of the vehicle Thursday was out through the parks and the West End gen- erally and the excitement the auto raised was considerable.

The popular view is that an outbreak would ad- vance prices. Liverpool has shown anxiety and its wheat prices bave advanced as the Transvaal situation bas grown acute. The argument is that any war in which an European power ia involved ives rise to some risk of continental interference. he mere possibility of other powers in some way becoming involved would make a Transvaal war at least temporarily a bull influence. No matter how remote the danger of a spread of the trouble the speculator would want to discount that danger.

Speculation on call was very active and another sharp rise followed, reaching highest fig- ures in several months. Holders of wheat were very pases and although buyers advanced their cental ali around, edt little was offer December pense 1% and advanced to 112%, and closed at 112 William Rooke's 5 notes wire say Liverpool is 4d higher for wheat. London is etill firm at %d advance on wheat. ‘hile European markets have a strong appear- ance and are taking wheat freely in this country their strength is partially on the pros- pects of war in South Africa and Mkely to fluc- tuate with present outlook. Here the speculative sentiment is bullish, but there will doubtless be cnarces to buy on breaks, which seems the reasunanbie thing to do. A wire to Arthur Petri from Chicago says Of the 161 cars of wheat received to-day 1ST care are new, compared with 280 cars of new last year. The private elevators to-day contribute to the contract wheat stocks 250 cars of No: 1 Northern and 42.000 bu No. 2 Northern.

The new Mutual Mercantile Agency, having been perfectly organized with a charter of extreme liberality under the laws of New Jersey, and having complied with requirements elsewhere permitting it to do business duces the United States and Dominion of Canada, begs to announce the opening of. its offices at 305-309 Broadway, New York, — Branch offices are being opened in all the chief cities of the United States and Do- minion of Canada: and connections abroad of great: value and effectiveness based on years of experience have already been” a and at Republic Building, St. Louis. completed by its Foreign Department. F “a, iti , ‘oa 7 Having in the past sixty days, through a single circular, secured :ubscribers to the stock of the Company from . greater number of individuals, mostly merchants and bankers, than appears on any other share-list of recent origin, tered over localities more numerous, and being desirous for obvious reasons of affording opportunity for a still diffusion of its proprietorship, it seems proper that some public announcement should be made of the purpose and ¢f ,of this new business instrumentality. Therefore, the following is submitted: GENERAL PURPOSE. This Organization has for its main purpose the establish- mont of a new and complete System of obtaining and com- municating Special Reports, both at home and abroad, as a basis for credit. Incidentally it will also issue a Reference Book of Ratings of the most eager character, and will fulAll al) other duties of a first-clads Mercantile Agency. It is not intended to confine the |operations’ of The Mutual Mercantile Agency to the United mye and Canada. With the rapid expansion of commerce into other countries where there are few sources of information available, the necessity for a new and perfect system of investigation is apparent—not only for the protection of foreign trad@, but particularly for its promotion. In this latter respect, nothing could be more oppurtune or conducive to enlarged commerce, than at this period to inaugurate a perfect system of mercantile reporting wherever American enterprise, awakened to a new life, can penetrate. With these twin purposes in view—the perfecting of infor- mation as a basis of credit in all parts of the North American Continent on the one hand; and on the other the conduct of investigation as to all possible customers for American goods in foreign lands—The Mutual Mercantile Agency proposes most important chunges in this legitimate and highly essential busi- ness of dealing in the kind of information which forms the basis for three-fourths of the commercial] transactions of the countrv. A DIFFUSION OF PROPRIETORSHIP. \ ‘ DEFECTS OF EXISTING METHODS. A radical defect of the present system Is, that amount paid by Agency subscribers to obtain reaches many millions annually, no adequate has been provided for the sources of information, — fact not generally known to dispensers of credit, it fifty or sixty thousand correspondents, scattered oS country, relied on by the existing Agencies, — receives any compensation. ar A necessary preliminary to such a reform ip is the provision of adequate compensation for ‘ in all parts of the country, for travelers, purveyors of information who, up to this time, A lied on for service much of which is unpaid. Notwithstanding the Mercantile Agency eee profits unparalleled, it is a fact that in ne other there so great u waste. One form of waste is int of needless names. Both leading Agencies rate - names, upon all of which, it is claimed, detailed ‘ regularly made. Of this number, not over 400,000: ys inquired for. So that, scattered proadcast over | not seeking a credit, there is an unnecessary ¢ revenues for, most meagre and partial inv intention of the Mutual Mercantile Agency greatly to the character of this service, by concentrating the aa expenditure upon the investigation of the claims to those who really seek it. } The success which has attended, in so brief a period, the distribution of the shares of the Mutual Mercantile , \ge cy among so many dispensers of credit throughout the country, confirms the belief that it is quite possible to | il ownership of a most influential and helpful character for an institution of this nature. Not only in hundreds of localit are the shares of this company now held, but the character and position of the parties thus substantially interested, ‘ be most helpful in the task of closely photographing the local conditions which surround each trader. These, ed by shareholders among the dispensers of credit in the great centers, which it is believed will approach a the number, interchanging their experience and helping each other to conclusions, will create such an interest as to ute ing to be desired in respect to unity of effort. Such a proprietorship will be in striking contrast with existing great Agencies, one of which, owned by o tleman and profiting him, as testified in a public proceeding, to the extent of half a million dollars yearly (or en inte on $10,000,000), and another by a close corporation, regularly paying 80 per cent dividends to less than a dozen 8 lat holders, one-half of whom, according to the records, are women, ie REVENUES OF MERCANTILE AGENCIES. There are :n the United States and Canada, dependent upon Mercantile Agency servicé, no less than fifty thousand dis- penserr of credit The subscriptions paid by these range from fifty dollars ali the way up to $5,000 annually. Calculating the annual individual payment at $100 each, it will be seen that iue® tocal contribution for Agency service reaches five millions annually. According to a well posted observer this ex pendi- ture Las been made in about the following proportions: First and always, for profit 20 per cent. absorbing a sum approach- ing a million of dollars; second, liberal commissions to can- vassers and managers averaging 20 per cent. requiring another millicn dollars; third, expenses of numerous branch offices, duplicating and rendering accessible reports, hundreds of thou- sands of which are rarely if ever needed, fully 40 per cent., or two million dollars; and fourth, leaving for the main purpose of the Agency, the gathering of information, only 20 per cent. or one million dollars. Even this small proportion of twenty per cent. is again divided in two and often three streams, rep- resented by the competitive effort of the two great Agencies, and the small Trade and Sectional Agencies that exist be- cause of the imperfection of their larger rivals. Thus out of $5,000,000, somewhere about $333,000 is only directly available for reporting say 1,500,000 names by each of these distinctive Agencies. EXPENDITURES CONTROLLED. | It is not much wonder when only one dollar out dollars is available for reports that dissatisfaction as to the character of the information furnished, tor 1 the subscriber specially seeks and pays his money, 7” It cannot be true that a subscriber for $100 desires expended for the benefit of his neighbor, on the one on the other for the accumulation of a large number ¢ ports, out of which he may occasionally demand a name him. On the contrary it is obvious that it will ve much @ satisfactory if he could be assured that the bulk of his bution would be spent to report the parties In whom nad specific Interest. : With this in view, it Is the intention to seek from lists of names of existing, or probable customers upon 9 reports of the fullest and most accurate character r obiained. Instesd of diffusing expenditure upon names | from directories, or obtained by expensive canvass over tt broad land, it is the intention to confine the efforts of repo! ing to the names needed, and make perfect the reall required. By this means, and by concentrating effort 0 ¢ tain every possible fact locally developed, and by d ch ; records, together with trade information obtained | t poin where parties buy, will be made possible such a a leave nothing to be desired, Ca , = ea - A GREATLY IMPROVED REFERENCE BOOK AND A FOREIGN BOOK. While it is the intention of the Mutual Mercantile Agency to concentrate its main attention in reporting only known Customers inquired for, it will issue a Reference Book of Ratings, superior to all others ever before f This book will not only include the names inquired for everywhere, but all those engaged in any kind of trade, 1 y But the ratings, consisting of estimates of Capital and indications of Habit prompt or otherwise, will not be made as heretofore, in the various branch offices of the existing Agencies by § per week clerks on ten line reports; but being reached, by consultation of the best authorities in each line of trade is locality, will be a much more complete reflex of the local estimate and standing than heretofore possible.

Contracts for Agency service will now be taken, at rates not in excess of other Agencies, to become og uary Ist, 1900. The advantage to those who early subscribe will be that the investigation as to the standing of £ Investigating credits should be a deliberate task, and ample time is at tomers will be more thorough and complete. portant factor to reach safe conclusions. PARTICULARS OF ORGANIZATION. The Foreign Reference Book will be the most ble ; ‘ ‘ | oe 4 aa The ownership of the Mutual Mercantile Agency is divided into 20,000 shares of $100 each or a capitali $2,000,000, with an incorporation under the laws of the State of New Jersey. Of this capitalization $1,000,000 is Seven per cent Stock, and $1,000,000 Common Stock—all fully paid and non-assessable. The Common Stock is tled to no dividend until after seven per cent is paid to the Preferred Stock, and after the Common Stock has recei | d seven per cent, the further profits are to be divided equally between the two classes of stock. In consequence of the cision by the Board of Directors, after thorough investigation, that the acquirement of a number of Trade and Sect Agencies upon which options were held was not desirable at the price asked, a moderate amount of the Pre Shares originally dedicated to this purpose, is now available. Because of the wide diffusion among merchants, bankers, etc., of the Shares already absorbed, and to secure the operation and influence of a still larger body of stockholders, individual subscriptions to the remaining Stock now ¢ will be accepted only up to $5,000 each, while preference will be given to all applications for ten Shares or $1,000 or . A limited amount of the Preferred Stock will be offered at par in St. Louis, and applications will be received by Me- chanics’ Bank. Subscriptions are payable to Hon. D. N.

ADAMI’S FRIENDS ARE SEARCHING FOR HIM. HIS ABSENCE IS UNEXPLAINED. | He Has Been for Thirty Years an Em- ploye of the L. M. Rumsey Man- ufacturing Company. Victor J. Adami of 2808 Dayton street, for 30 years an employe of the L. M. Rum- sey Manufacturing Co., is gone, and inere are various stories afjoat concerning his ieaving, Which, it seems, was without no- tice either to his fam.iy or his empivyers. He wus seen at the Union Siation Monaay afternoon, but there is no trace of him since then. Mr. Adumi was of late the cashier for the firm named, but both L. M. Rumsey and Moses Kumsey deciare they have .dmen Nv steps to ascertain his whereabouts, and tmat they Wil not. There are rumors ov! shortages, but that is ail, as nothing den- mite has been ascertained, so fur as nas been mude pubiic. ; Adami was a member of the Jefferson Cc ‘lub and had an appointment there the day he went away. He aid not keep it, and the telephoning of the other man to tne appointment to the Rumsey firm led to the aiseovery of his going. He had falled to report at his desk Monday morning, but this seemingly caused no suspicion. Tues- Uday Moses Rumsey telephoned re,- him to the man mentioned. and together they agreed that he had left town, V. H. Adami, or Harry, as he is cailed. the son of the cashier, worked for the same firm, but he could give no ex>lenu- tion of his father’s absence. Wi: etill emp.oyved tnere is open to quests .. but the firm refuses to say. His only ex- planation was that Mr. Adami had gone suddenly to Coulterville, LliL., on the Padu cah division of the Illinois Central Raii- way, where Mrs. Victor J. Adami conducts summer hotel. But investigation there a failed to throw any iight on the disap pearance, if such it be There is considerable mystery surrouna- ing the whole affair, that the Rumseys either cannot or will not explain. The only thing certain is that Adami has not been at hi s desk since last week, and that he is either out of town or wishes to be thought so. DEWEY IN & SHOW WINDOW. A Beautiful Scene at the Fine Store of the Nugents. There is a window in Nugent’s well-known Broadway store that is really worth going out of one’s way to see. It typifies Dewey's home-coming, and the manner of arrange- ment possesses genuine artistic merit. The whole space is given over to the prop- er presentation of the subject and, while the scene is almost remarkable for its sim- piicity, instead of the usual crowded win- dows that are afflicted upon the pubiic, not a bit of space is wasted. In the foreground is a life-sized figure of the immortal Admiral, so dear to the Ameri- can heart, clothed in the full re galia of the uniform of his rank. Incidentally it may be remarked that the cost of the entire out- fit, the uniform alone, that is, came to the not very insignificant sum of $600. The face of the image bears a remarkable likeness to the pictured features of Dewey, in fact, altogether his counterfeit presentment 6 correct.
