Qanner of ILii- mois, came te St. Louis. The indictment against Shea was returned @t the September term of the Chicago Grand Jury, and he is charged with having obtained $700 from Otto Udmanson on a confidence game. Detective Stible went to Jefferson City, where Gov. BSiephens hon- ored -his requisition. Stible then returned to St. Louis to take charge of his pris- oner. Shea has been released on bond to @ppear in the Court of Criminal Correction Wednesday and. answer to the charge of fugitive from justice. All that was ieft for Stible to do was to wait for the case to be called. Tuesday evening Detective Stible was sitting in a chair in the office of Chief of Police Campbell when Deput Sheriffs Priesmeyer and Wasser entered. One of the deputies tapped the: detective on the shoulder and said he had a warrant for his arrest. The detective laughed., So did the other police officials. They thought it was a joke.’ When they learned otherwise the information was read to him. It charged criminal libel. A morning newspaper had rinted an article concerning Shea’s arrest, n which the detective had been inter- viewed, and in which he had said some things that reflected on Mr, Shea’g in- tegrity. , Chief of Detectives Desmond, when he @aw that the warrant was genuine, offered to take the warrant and serve it. The dep- uties would not release the.r prisoner... Des- mond asked the Sheriff's representatives to leave Stible in their custody. No, their orders were to put Stible in jail, they said. Desmond offered to furnish bond. It was flatiy refused. The deputies said crim.nal libel was a felony and they could Sanoaps no bond. Chief Deemond pieaded with the deputies to leave Stible out of jail. He gaid that the detective was here represent- ing the State of Illinois, and he had been accepted by the Governor of Missouri. It | Was a most discourteous proceeding.to lock up an officer of the law on the statement of a man under indictment, he sa.d. The deputies were inexorable. They said they had orders to lock Stible up nothing else would do. Desmond wanted to reach Sheriff Pohlman or his chief deputy. Neither cvuld be found. Repeatedly Priesmeyer laid his hands on Stible and said he would have to go to fall. P Finally Desmond heard that the chief deputy was in@&he corridor. He rushed out and found him. The chief deputy would not interfere. While they were conversing Ed- ward A. Albright appeared on the scene. ‘*Hddie’’ Albright is a member of the House of Delegates. He watched ‘things as though he had a personal interest in the outcome. Finally he blurted out in a loud and angry tone: ‘Lock him up. Why should you show him any favors? Heis as bad as Shea ever was and worse.” No one paid any attention to ‘‘Eddie” Albright’s speech. Chef Deemond said, owever, that .t was significant. Finally Deputy Sheriff Henry Wichmann appeared. He investigated the matter and at once eaid bond could be taken. A boads- man was in waiting and the detective was released. “There {is something more than passing’ strange about this whole affalr,”’ said Chief Desmond. “This warrant was drawn. by Mr. Braden in the office of Shea’s lawyer Monday evening. It was eworn to and ylaced in the Sheriff's hands at 9 o’clock uesday morning. Stible was in our office all morning. He left at 1 o clock for lunch and was back agin in the middle of the afternoon. It seemed that there was a plan to get Stible in jail and that was all that would satisfy.”’ Clark said He said not be the warrant was not the charge of criminal proven until the case Judge gag ibel could against Shea, in Chicago, for which he was | mow under indictment, dad been disposed of. He said that the issuance of the war- fant interfered with duly accredited Officers f the law, in the performance of thefr uty. The ease was nolle prossed. Shea was not in court at 10 o'clock to answer the charge of fugitive from jus- tice. On request of his attorney the case was passed down until 1 o'clock. Prose, cuting Attorney Clover said that Shea’s lawyer told him that the defendant had one to Chicago to give himself up, The t. Louis detectives and Detective Stible say they believe that Shea Its still here. THE TOBACCO TRUST BEATEN James H. Williams, a St. Louis Trav- eling Man, Awarded $800 for Breach of Contract.

Phelan Died From Escaping Gas. WAS FOUND BY HIS DAUGHTER. HE WAS FOR YEARS A PROMI- NENT CONTRACTOR. j; Brother of Rev. Father Phelan of the Western Watchman—He Is the Third Brother to Die Thus — Unexpectedly. | Thomas 'E. Phelan,: a» prominent con- tractor and a brother of Rev. David 8. i Phelan, editor of the Western Watchman and pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, was asphyxiated by gas in his bed room at his home, 33% Chestnut street, Wednesday morning. When thé body was found it was still warm and was fully clothed. It was Stretched upon the bed in an easy position and a pipe was held in the mouth in a Might grasp. The family say these circum. stances confirm their theory of acccident. The dead man’s daughter, Miss Gene- body. She: arose at her usual hour and was making her tollet when she detected the odor of gas. She ' began a search to locate it. As she ap- } proached her father’s room the odor be- |came stronger. A knock at his door was inot résponded to. He was called several times, ‘but there Was no answer. /Miss Phelan then turned the knob of the door and entered. Her father lay as though asleep. His head was resting my his right arm. . The room was filled with gas and a glance to.d her that her father was under its Influence. She called her mother, who was in an adjoining room, and they opened every win- dow and door in the house to allow the gas ‘to escape. A friend was summoned and he called Dr. A. C. Robinson of 3402 Pine street. Dr. Robinson found the body warm and applied some restoratives, although he de- clared there was no hope, es death had Occurred several minutes before. After a few vain efforts at reviving, he made ar- rangements to notify Coroner Lloyd. An examination of the six gas jets in the room —" that only one of them was fiow- ng. Mrs. Phelan says her husband arose about 4 o’clock in the morning and went to the kitchen and took a light lunch, as was his custom. He then returned to his room and lay Gown again to wait for breakfast, she She thinks he negl-gently turned on one of the jets when he lighted his pipe, thinking he would light the gas, too. 4 ‘“‘He had a habit of doing that,” she said. “I have long been expecting something like this to happen and no longer ago than yes- _terday I informed some friends that I would not be suprrised if Mr. Phelan shouid not some day agphyxiate himself in this way. “He always wanted to save a match when he could and this desire led him to turn on a gas jet, if one was in reach when he lighted a match. It was a secon nature with thim. Half the time he didn’t light the jet and my daughters and I al- ways watched him when we saw him with a match in his hand that we might shut }any jets that he left open. The fact that i\he was fully clothed and held his pipe in ‘his mouth when he died confirms our belief | that death was an accident brought about by this negligent habit. “TIT have no doubt he went to his room after eating lunch and, feelin that he needed a short rest, he lighted his pipe and lay down. I am convinced that, as he |ignited the match, the old habit asserted ,itself and he turned on the jet and neg- l lected to apply the light. “Suicide? Impossible! He was in good ‘health and his affairs were in fine condi- tion. He was cheerful when he retired for ithe evening and there was no reason why | he should be unhappy in anything.” | Father Phelan, the dead man’s brother, ' was at the house a few minutes after the | body was discovered. “Thomas was one of the most cheerful and happy men I ever knew,” he said. ‘“‘He had no financial entanglements or worries and was prospering. here was no reason | for him to take his own life and J know he died by accident, although it came about ac a a negligent habit. “He ts the third of my brothers to die ‘suddenly. Alexander died of cholera and was the picture of health three hours before I saw him a corpse. Michael was stricken with heart disease, while walking along ‘the street, laughing with friends. And now 'Thomas, cheerful and happy, is taken from us just as unexpectedly. ‘My brother was born in Sydney, Cape Breton, in 1843, and he and I came to this country together. He leaves a widow and a daughter. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon from St. Xavier's Church to Calvary Cemetery.” COOL AND FAIR WEATHER. Forecaster Hyatt Is Good to the Thou- sands of Visitors. The Weather Manufacturing Bureau of Hyatt & Co., at the Federal Building, opened | rather late Wednesday morning. The doctor | was at the ball Tuesday night, and he de- 'clares it was the finest affair he ever saw.

Everyone congratulated the weather wizard on the excellency of his meteorological pat- tern and his programme was filled ere he knew it. ; The Fall Festivities are Dr. Hyatt’s long suit—although he Hkes full dress—so he has ordered a continuance of sunshine and cool- ing winds. “It may get a little cloudy,” he says, Wednesday night, but ro matter—there won't be any occasion for our country cous- ins to come in out of the rain.”’ THE WEATHER INDICATIONS.

A pitiful scene was enacted at Union Sta- tion Wednesday morning. The chief char- acters were a little girl and her parents whom she failed to recognize. Bessie Trout, a pretty child of 4 years, was taken to the station by her uncle from Shawnee, Kan., to meet her parents, whom she had not seen for two years. The father and mother did not at once appear, and Ben Brown, the train caller, was asked parenta by name. Bessie did not recognize them and clung toO-her uncle, pleading with him het to let ‘‘the bad people’ take her away. For a long time reasoning was of no avail, the chiid insisting that they were not her parents. Finally the mother and father made the chi.d a number of solemn promises that if she were not pleased with them she could go back to her uncle. She wage then pur- suaded to go with them. Two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Trout, while on a visit .o this uncie, left the child there for a visit. Later, they could find no way to get the child home and so she stayed there all this time.

WEDNESDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—OCTOBER 4, 1899 ee RUMOR OF AN a SAYS. SHAMROCK ULTIMATUM Kruger Said to Have Demand- ed Troops’ Withdrawal. A REPORT QF AN _ INVASION. MANY UNAUTHENTICATED STO- RIES AGITATE LONDON. England Is Going Ahead With War Preparations, but the Progress of Mobilization Is Not Rapid. PRETORIA, Oct. 4.—A more extended ac- count of the speech of President Kruger at the adjournment of the Raad yester- day is obtainable. According ta trust- worthy reports he said: “Everything points to war, spirit of falsehood has overtaken countries, and because the people the Transvaal wish to govern themselves. Al- -though thousands may come to attack us, we have yothing to fear, for the Lord is the final arbiter and He will decide, “Bullets came by thousands at the time of the Jameson raid, but the burghers were untouched. Over a hundred were killed on the other side, showing that the Lord 4ij- rected our bullets. The Lord rules the world.”’ Mr. J. M:. A. Wolmarans, one of the two non-official members of the executive coun- cil, said he hoped that when the Raads re- assembled they would be without a con- vention and would be a free people. God, he declared, had often used England to bring the burghers back to the faith of their forefathers. In the course of his speech he exclaimed: ‘‘Engiand has refused everything—even , arbitration.’’ LONDON, Oct. 4.—No definite news has been received to-day of a change in the condition between England and the Trans- because a other of Yr. / LAs, v/ ay): 2 y/ SE I Lf. “Usa pri , “ he t,4 7 y nl) yy f\ ne ee 2 alt J Stee S94 . “ae. |. ~— - LEADS THE BRITISH IN TRANSVAAL, Major-General Sir Redvers Buller, who English forces, and will conduct the war against the Boers. has been placed in command of the change in the situation, although the mass- ing of the Boers in all directions inevita- bly increases the tension. While constant military orders are being issued here. progress seems very siow, and it must still be weeks before Great Britain will be in a position to strike, although it believed British troops now at the or near it are sufficient to protect British territory. The Government is cer- tainly not showing any signs of haste in sending an ultimatum. This is probably due to a recognition that Great Britain is not yet ready to substitute force for negotiation; and the Cabinet, therefore, giving the Twansvaal every chance to accept the latest proposals. The Stock Exehange Was influenced dur- ing the opening hours to-day by vague rumors that Queen Victoria had cabled President Kruger and President Steyn, hold- ing out the olive branch, and ‘by a report that the Boers had been. defeated ina small engagement. Prices rose, but there was a speedy re- lapse when both stories were discredited. $ l. in tre front is Sir Wm.

One is that the Boers have sent an ultimatum to Eng- land, demanding the withdrawal of the troops from the frontiers within 48 hours. Another report says that the British troops have invaded the Transvaal. Neither of these reports are fully credited here. -The dispatches from South Africa from New Castle, Natal, report that the tele- graphic communication is interrupted be- yond Charlestown, where the stores have been looted by the natives since the de- parture of the whites. Stories of the movement of the Boers and British, and of the hurried muster and dis- patch of troops on both sides, have come from other points. A telegram from Lady- emith, Natal, says that the Orange Free State troops have occupied and _ closed Bothas Pass, on the Free State border, and that Commandant Allriche, chief of the Free State Artillery, is proceeding in the direction of Kimberly with a considerable force of artillery. Another force of artillery under Commandant Binging has gone to Marrismith, while Commandant Smith commands a force of artillery en route to Kroonstadt. While all the dispatches from South Af- rica dwell upon the conditions of wild ex- citement there and the expected imminence of a Boer attack, there is in reality little “Mr. guished Liberal statesman, member of Par- liament for West Monmouthshire, other slashing attack in to-day’s papers upon the policy of the Secretary of State for the colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. He reiterates his original statement that Chamberlain’s assertion that the Transvaal refused to redress the grievances of the Outlanders {s the reverse oPithe case: and he insists that Great Britain is re- sponsible for ‘“‘slamming the door in the face of President Kruger just when ar- rangementS were approaching a settle- ment.’’ — eo LOOT A TREASURE TRAIN. Boers Seize 500,000 Pounds in Gold on the Way to Cape Town. LONDON, Oct. 4.—The most sensational news from South Africa this morning is a reiteration of yesterday’s report of the acquisition by the Transvaal authorities of 600,000 pounds in gold, which was on the way to Cape Town from Johannesburg, The confirmation of the story comes from two sources. The Cape Argus asserts that the Boers made the seizure at Vereenigeng, the amount being the week’s shipment of gold on the way from:-the Rand to Cape Town and forwarded treasure to Pretoria. The report is also confirmed by a cablegram received to-day by a mining company in London from their representative, which is to the effect that the train upon which he was traveling from Johannesburg to Cape Town was held wp and looted by Boers, who secured 300,000 pounds in gold, the = amount being considerably less than the original estimate. There is nothing very tangible in to-day’s War news; but the situation remains as Strained as ever, unless hope may be 4de- rived from the apparent fact that the forces on the frontier are regarded by both sides as wholly defensive for the present, and from the statement that Mr, J. H. Hof- meyer, -the Afrikander leader in Cape Col- ony, is still prepared to endeavor to secure the adhesion of the Transvaal Government to the “Irreducibie minimum,” proposed at the Bloemfontein conference to President Kruger by Sir Alfred Milner, the British High Commissioner, if the Imperial Gov- ernment will stand by the high commis- sioner’s original proposal. —--—-@— — — PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. How the Boers Will Operate When the War Begins. LONDON, Oct. 4.—The various announce- ments regarding Boer movements seem to indicate their probable plan of campaign in the event of hostilities. Their chief has an-- force, apparently, would surround the nar- row stretch of Natal territory jutting into the Transvaal, thus~ threatening Laing’s Nek, Charlestown and Dundee, while the Orange Free State commando from Harri- smith is expected to operate near Van Ree- nan’s Pass, and threatening Ladysmith. Military critics are confident that Great gritain will hold her own in Natal. The Free State commanders appear to be mov- ing slowly. It is probable that the Gov- ernment has loaned a portion of the Free State artillery to the Transvaal. The only concentration at present is at Harrismith, in the northeastern section of the State, and at Boshof. northwest of Bloem- fontein, a position threatening Kimberley and fourteen streams; at Rouxville, where the Burghers expect the aid of the dis- loyal portion of the farmers; and at Aliwal, north. in Cape Colony. Lichtenburg is the base of Commandant Cronjes’ movement on the western border, menacing the Mafeking Railway, between Mafeking and Vryburg, in Bechunaland. There is a well authenticated report that a large force of Boers is assembled at Selik, at the junction of the Crocodile and Pongola Rivers, evidently with the object of destroying the railway. The northern commando, whose bage is at Petersburg. confronts Plummer’s column, which will move nearer the border to-day. The report regarding the extent of Boer artillerw is probably exaggerated, as it is believed the burghers posses few fie'd guns, and it is unl kely that they would dismantle their forts {n order to send garrison pieces to the front. : The military authorities estimate there are now 12,000 Boers in the fleld. Late advices from Cape Town this after- noon indicate a widespread impression there that, unless the Boers begin hostilities by Thursday they will not fight but yield to the imperial demands when formulated. The Cape House of Assembly last even- ing agreed to a motion instructing the Cape Government to demand the speedy re- turn to Cape Colony of any and all rolling stock now in the Orange Free State or the Transvaal. A special dispatch from Johannesburg says the Boer officials there continue to urge the British subjects who remain to leave and it is believed that all who don’t will be marched, under escort, along the railway until a train is reached to carry them off. Orders have been issued from Pretoria closing all the saloons in the gold fi®lds he Transvaal Government has taken over the Perreira mines and all the mines in the gold fields. A group of five of the Eckstein mines have been closed. Additional transports with troops from India arrived this morning at Durban. Na- tal, and will proceed to the front immedi- ately. It is reported there that the Boers are withdrawing from the Natal border owing to lack of forage. GRANTED A CHANGE OF VENUE. Cases of Strikers Sent from Marion to Johnson County. MARION, Ill., Oct. 4.—Judge Vickers has granted a change of .venue in the cases of William Smith, E. A. Durden, Arch srazieton, Ed Ritchie, William Davis, Eli Booker,; James Hicks, Isaac Mekee and Thomas’ Jeremiah, all indicted for the Lauder Station murder June 30 last when strikers fired into a trainload of imported negro miners.

SAILS FASTER WHEN THE CONDI- TIONS ARE THE SAME, Tuesday’s Race Will Be Sailed Again Thursday, and Probably Over the Same 15-Miles-and-Turn Course. Specfal to the Post-Dispatch. NBPW YORK, Oct. 4.—The followileg pre- diction as to the outcome of the interna- tional yacht races is made for the Post- Ikispatch by John -R. Spears, the nautical expert: “In spite of the fact that a lack of wind prevented the yachts covering their course within the time limit, and in spite of the manifest superiority of Capt. Hogarth’s seamanship, the details of the trial show that when the wind comes alike to both, the Columbia easily outruns, outstretches and outpoints the Shamrock in winds from fresh down to light. “The Shamrock will not get the cup.” Thursday's race will be sailed again to- morrow, and most probably over the same course—l15 miles to stake boat and return to finish line—a total distance of 30 miles. To win the victor must cross the finish line within five and a half hours from the time of the start. According to the agreement under which these races are to be sailed, the winner of three out of a series of five is to keep or take the cup, as the case may be. For ¥ to-morrow’s race the yachts are to be sent fifteen miles from a point on Sandy Hook; either straight into the eye of the wind or dead before it and back again. Which course will be pursued. will depend on the wind. In the general terms if the wind blows from the sea toward the land they will be sent first into the eye of the wind and will come home before it. If it blows from the land out to sea the yachts will be sent away before it to beat their way home after turning the outer mark. To these not accustomed to: such races it may be said that this mark is a floating platform, made of planks and’ barrels. It carries small staff, from which floats a small red and white flag. On a clear day it is easily seen. two ‘miles away, but to make its location more easily found a tug- boat bearing a big ball suspended between its masts will be stationed near the float. The racing yachts are to pass between the float and the tug, and they will be timed as the do so in order that thefr: work in ‘the kind of wind and weather they have ‘had may be compared. The length of tne course over.which the yachts sail will Se measured by the tug that guards the curning float. As soon ds the flagship anchors to form the starting line the tug will steam away dragging a “taffrail log,”” a machine é¢hat measures the distance covered by the tug as it goes through the water. It takes no account of the tide; if the tide is with it the course will be more than fifteen sea miles long as measured on the bottom of the sea. If the tide is against it the distance is less. In either case, the course is as fair for one as for the other, and it is only worth mentioning because under some cir- cumstances it might alter the calculations of the sharps who want to know how fast either one sailed. This course of to-morrow is to give the yachts a chance for what is called wind- ward work. The one characteristic of a sailing ship that !s more {mportant than all others is the ability to work into an adverse wind. It is for that reason that the first race is laid for windward work. Of course the wind may shift after the race is started, but that is one of the mis- fortunes that cannot be provided for. Saturday a triangular course, ten miles long on a side, will be laid out. Two tugs and two floats are required for this—one for each of the two outer angles of the course. When the spectator sees two tugs carrying floats cross the line he may know a triangular course is to be followed. And because of the importance of windward work one of the sides of the triangle will be laid so that it Hes right in the eye of the wind, if that be possible. On the other legs of the course the yachts will run free, but not, of course, before the wind. Now, because of the lay of the land—the position of the coasts of Long Island and New Jersey—the starting point for eac race is likely to be the Sandy Hook Light- ship—the red hulk that is anchored about seven miles to the eastward of the point of the Hook as a guide-mark for shipping. But at times the wind comes so that the Scot- land Lightship, a yellow hulk 4% miles nearer Sandy Book. is more convenient and it might easily happen’ that it would be used, especially in the triangular course. Then, too, one one occasion the Racing Committee, on finding the starting ground at the Sandy Hook Lightship covered with excursion boats, quietly sent the racers to the other lightship and started them there before the excursion skippers knew what was to occur. The third race will be laid on the wind- ward course. If a fourth race is needed it will be on the triangular course, and a fifth race would omce more take «the straightaway course. The starting line is to-be formed. by;the flagship of the Néw York Yacht Clubjan- choring near. one of the lightships/men- tioned. The usual! distance is 200 yards, But there is no specified distance in the agree- ment. To get the yachts’ across the line a prep- aratory gun on ‘the flagship will be fired ———- = RAC - —s— mation, ena PVN > -~ —- ee _ LW) 297 ns “TE IAIVWAIVYINA ~ FOUNDED 1829 You are cordially invited to inspect our Ma nificent Collection of New and Up-to-Date \— Novelties, which we haveimported forthe prese ~ i ent Wedding Season.

This will start the racers milling about, each trying to get in a better position for cross- ing the line than the other. This jockey- ing work, as it is called, will become hotter 10 minutes later, when a second gun, called the warning gun is fired, for then only five minutes will remain before the third gun, Which is the starting signal. Finally the third gun will be fired, and then the two yachts are free to cross; they may sail into the smoke of the gun, if they are skillfui enough tv get the right position. But after this third gun sounds the racers have two minutes left during wan they may cross, and a fourth gun Will an- nounce the end of that limit.’ Each racer will be:timed on the second it crosses by a’ chronometer on the flagship bridge. Each race is-to be started at 11 o'clock if pousivie, but a dead.calm or a fog or a eavy gale—a real storm—would necessarily postpone ‘the race, and it is agreed that no race shall. be started after 12.30 o’clock. Fur- ther than that, to avoid a drifting match, wherein a boat may \win rather by iuck than, by the qualitias of the yachts or crews, it is agreed if one of the: yachts is not at the home. line within five hours and thirty minutes the race shall be declared off and the same course will then be laid out on the next race day.- If either boat is eerlously crippled by Taccident before the race*is started time for repairs will be allowed; but if anything car- ries away after the signal -the sufferer must dd its best with its repairs as it sais the course and take the consequences. For tals is to be a test of construction ’as well as design and seamanehip. ANALYSIS OF THE RACE. ~ Neither Boat Disappointed’ Her Many Champions. NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—An analysis of the race shows’ that the boats are very even- ly matched. During the five and a half hours’ sail the Shamrock was thrice ahead, and twice the Yankee beat showed the way. For the first 10 minutes. the Shamrock led, and then for five .minutes the Columbia’s graceful bow showed ahead of the green boat; for 45 minutes following the Shamrock held command, then for three hours the Colum- bia, and for the last hour anda half it was the Shamrock that led the way. The breeZe shifted about through eight points of the compass. Each in turn beat the other running be- fore the wind and was in turn beaten beat- ing against the winds at various stages of the race, so that many of the experts who saw the two boats are disinclined to be- lieve there is a pin to choose between them, but when the race is closely analyzed it is absolutély proven that the Columbia showed her superiority at every point of sailing, running, reaching and beating whenever the wind freshened, and that it was only in the lightest air that the Sham- rock could make headway fgainst her. Both had their share of good and bad luck, The Columbia had the better jof the shift- ing wind on the rum down to the mark, and beat the Shamrock 2:44, While on the beat home, after increasing her lead to over a mile at one time, the Shamrock overhauled the Yankee and Was a quarter of a mile ahead when the time allowance expired. On the maintained two parallel lines a mile apart, two fences through which not one of the pushing, crowding fleet of excursion vessels was per- mitted to poke ita nose. The broad expanse of sea inside, without wash or swell, was left clear and free for the maneuvering of the racers. On the way back the patrol ves- sels were equally efficient. When the yachts were on the starboard tack the torpedo- boats were in column on the Same course and the revenue cutters abreast, behind the yachts, thus forming a right dangle, in the hollow of which the yachts satled without embarrassment. When the yachts changed course, each vessel of the |patrof fleet changed with it, simply altering the direc. tion of the moving angle and/| keeping the excursion ‘boats fenced off. t was only toward the clofagwhen the hobe of finish- ing the race was given up thait the excur- sion boats crowded about the ends of the patrol! line3, many of them making straight for home. The Shamrock made more fuss forward and dragged a wave aft. On the beat home against a head wind the Columbia showed her heels to'the Irish boat unmistakably while the wind ‘held. Time after time the Shamrock tried for the weather gauge, luf- fing, squeezing and pinching until her head sails trembled, but without avail. The Co- lumbia not only held as high, but outfooted her tack after tack. The yadchts made a beautiful spectacle as they b@at to wind- ward, heeling over to the th the water way down they stiding swiftly back from. their sharklike bows. Whenever they smashed into an unusually large seat the spray spurted from either side ® feet into thp air. After the Columbia had gotten a milp ahead and the vachts were way over un Mt the Jersey shore the breeze again half failled, and the Shamrock drew gradually ahdad. It was marvelous that in so light a breeze a boat could slip so swiftly through the sea. After that the Shamrock was never headed, but from that time to the finish the Columbia had nothing but bad luck. In addition to her faster footing powers in the extremely light. alr every puff of the capricious wind seemed. to strike the Shamrock and leave the Yankee -boat practically becalmed. Edge as she would toward every streak of wind, she seemed -unable to find it. The Shamrock gained foot by foot until she overhauled the Yankee, crossed her bows. and when the time limit was up was fully a quarter of a mile ahead. LICENSES TO BE REVOKED.

SS |e. i ili ll THE VeNEZUELA AWARD, The Venezueia award is satisfactory to both parties to the controversy. The Venezuelan arbitration is.a triumph of reason over folly, of right over might. There never was any good cause of war between Great Britain and Venezuela, as is shown by decision of the court. A quarrel which by any means can be composed by arbitration need not be scttled by war. And what quarrel cannot be so composed if governments are controlled by the simple, obvious principies of morality. This case is of greatest value to the cause of progress and civilization, because it is sure to be granted the authority of precedent by many nations and so, by degrees, acquire the force of law. The idea underlying it is so obviously cor- rect, that it cannot be rejected. It must, in the near future, be adopted by all civilized nations as a principle of interna- tional law, and war become impossible, except in the rare cases of irreconcilable differences. i ed The indignation of Mr. Hanna at the idea of Dewey for President is highly amusing. i i A ANOTHER DEAD; ANOTHER CRIPPLED, To the long record of killings and maimings by street cars with worthless fenders must now be added a boy crushed to death and a woman crippled for life. For the sake of greater profit, the street railway combine is expending thousands of dollars on new tracks. To suit its own convenience, it will also spend other large sums in paint- ing the cars yellow and in other changes. In face of thea continual additions to the death list, will it not at once give the people assurance that the ineffective fenders will be dis- carded at the earliest possible moment and that all cars wil] be equipped with the best fenders in the market? It has been proved by numerous costly tests that the snap- and-catch-’em contrivance depending upon the quick action of the motorman, is useless. Yet the street railway managers are experimenting with a new fender of this sort. In almost every accident, the victim gets in the way of the car so sud- denly that there is no time to work such a fender. There are life saving fenders. Cars in other cities have been equipped with them. The always ready fender is the only one that should be adopted. — “The fortunes of war placed these people (the Filipinos) under cur protection and we are bound to protect them,” says Congressman Payne of New York. The protection we are giving the Filipinos is extermination. They were our allies and we have turned upon them as an enemy. Such statesmen as Congressman Payne give fair-minded people a pain. .. se J. Pierpont Morgan is said to wish that Secretary Gage could be made President of the United States. If we are to have a financier in the White House, however, we might as well have a bigger one than Gage. Possibly John Rockefeller might be persuaded to succeed Mr. McKinley. His election fund woulu be a stunner. +o oe —_ Ex-Speaker Reed’s private secretary, Amos L. Allen, {s for war expansion and@ has been rewarded for his “patriot- ism”’ by a nomination to Congress in the First Maine Dis- trict. A serpent’s tooth is dull compared with the thankless- ness of a private secrétary. Republican organs are trying to convey the impression that Mr. McLean will ne end much money in Ohio. The Hanna funds would be muc:: more useful with such a condition. --— 04 What does £t.

So The Administration may need a good deal of powder in assimilating the Filipinos, but it might have spared a little for a Dewey salute in St. Louis. = = High tariffers are surprised to read that shortage in the Australian wool crop started the advance in woo] prices. — Germany has just paid Spain $5,000,000 for the Caroline Is]- ands, without getting an insurrection along with them.

With Gen, Jan Kock on the Natal border, the Boers may accom- plish something to crow over. There was a “great wave’ of cheering when Dewey left the White House on Monday, but {it did not rock him any, If Mr. Bull wants to see himself as others see him he should take time to read the French newspapers this autumn. Women may not take a conspicuous part in the Transvaal war, but we may expect to hear a good deal of Ladysmith. Mismanagement by the British War Office is reported from the Transvaal. Will Tommy Atkins have to eat embaimed beef? If Andree has found the North Pole and ig alive, he will have a surprise for the world which will even outrank one of Dewey’s astonishers., Missouri's crop of 9,500,000 bushels of potatoes, if cooked with their jackets on, will be a very wholesome addition to the country’s food supply. Nicholas Karr denies that he told a lady It is likely that only lawyers of the Iex-Superintendent lawyer to go to Hades. masculine sex go there. If Secretary Gage is to desert Chicago to become a resident of New York, it will be rather mortifying to the Windy City. She would almost as Hef see one of her prominent people remove to St. Louis. Prof. Lombard, author of “Observations of a Bachelor,” having just murried a former resident of St. Louis, will doubtless be too happy to find time to supplement it with a volume on the obser- vations of a married man. It is to be regretted that the telegraph does not mention the sex of the New York baby that weighs only a pound and one ounce.

Charlie Winkler, the Delaware boy who clambered to the plat- form of a car and received a handshake and a $10 gold piece from Dewey, will be envied by every kid in the United States.

Howard of Duval County, Florida, vouches for the truth of the fol- lowing incident which came under his ob- servation: Rover, a large, shaggy dog, was the occupant of a well-kept kennel and was frequently companioned by a duck, which finally. gave a supreme test to his friendship by laying an even dozen of eggs in a corner of his kennel. Rover did not resent the encroachment, but on the contrary seemed to feel the responsi- bility of guardianship and at night liy with his nose a little closer to the door of the kennel, while the duck sat on the eggs in her pre-empted corner. In Gue season eight ducklings appeared and Rover appeared as delighted as if he had dug a woodchuck out of his hole in the pasttire lot. A week later the mother duck lost her life in a cow-kick accident and Rover at once assumed the care of the web-footed orphans, nestling them in his long hair at night and in the daytime swimming with them in the pond.

The graduate of the grammar school went to college, developed his general knowledge, acquired the perception of his particular faculties, of ‘his individuality, and found himself incapable—in the lack of money, in the lack of abiifty to earn money—heipless at the threshold of his career. The remedy was applied immediately. Mr. Pulitzer gave an endowment fund of $100,009 to Columbia University. By the terma of it 10 elect among the grammar echool gradu- ates receive free tuition in the preparatory high schoo] and the collegiate courses of the university every year. The preparatory studies are in the Horace Mann School. ‘They take three or four years, in the course of which each elect under the scholarship received #7®*.

New Zealand’s experience should lead us to consider earnestly the rational solution of our labor problems. The nation has two heroes. Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manila, has been honored by the nation’s official representa- tives and by the people. Rear Admiral Schley, the hero of Santiago, whose ship was scarred by Spanish shells and whose guns smashed Cervera’s squadron, has been snubbed and mal- treated by the officials at Washington, but the people honor him for his splendid services. In New York and Washington his ovations were scarcely less than Dewey’s. The people cannot be fooled, They knew who did the work at Santiago. Poor Sampson, who is forced to slip around by backways to avoid odious comparisons, has been placed in a false position by his fool official friends, who tried to make a hero out of a man who was ten miles away from the battle. SS |= SS : : THE VENEZUELA AWARD, The Venezuela award is satisfactory“to both parties to the controversy. The Venezuelan arbitration is a triumph of reason over folly, of right over might. There never was any good cause of war between Great Britain and Venezuela, as is shown by decision of the court. A quarrel which by any means can be composed by arbitration need not be scttled by war. And what quarrel cannot be go composed if governments are controlled by the simple, obvious principies of morality. This case is of greatest value to the cause of progress and civilization, because it is sure to be granted the authority of precedent by many nations and so, by degrees, acquire the force of law. The idea underlying it is so obviously cor- rect, that it cannot be rejected. It must, in the near future, be adopted by all civilized nations as a principle of interna- tional law, and war become impossible, except in the rare cases of irreconcilable differences. — SS — The indignation of Mr. Hanna at the idea of Dewey for President is highly amusing. LL i a 4 ANOTHER DEAD; ANOTHER CRIPPLED, To the long record of killings and maimings by street cars with worthless fenders must now be added a boy crushed to death and a woman crippled for life. For the sake of greater profit, the street railway combine is expending thousands of dollars on new tracks. To suit its own convenience, it will also spend other large sums in paint- ing the cars yellow and in other changes. In face of the continual additions to the death list, will it not at once give the people assurance that the ineffective fenders will be dis- carded at the earliest possible moment and that all cars will be equipped with the best fenders in the market? It has been proved by numerous costly tests that the snap- and-catch-’em contrivance depending upon the quick action of the motorman, is useless. Yet the street railway managers are experimenting with a new fender of this sort. In almost every accident, the victim gets in the way of the car so sud- denly that there is no time to work such a fender. There are life saving fenders. Cars in other cities have been equipped with them. The always ready fender is the only one that should be adopted. —— i= = * — a “The fortunes of war placed these people (the Filipinos) under cur protection and we are bound to protect them,” says Congressman Payne of New York. The protection we are giving the Filipinos is extermination. TFhey were our allies and we have turned upon them as an enemy. Such statesmen as Congressman Payne give fair-minded people a pain. J. Pierpont Morgan is said to wish that Secretary Gage could be made President of the United States. If we are to have a financier in the White House, however, we might as well have a bigger one than Gage. Possibly John Rockefeller might be persuaded to succeed Mr. McKinley.

Emily THE DOG AND THE DUCKS. Mr. R. Cc. W. Howard of Duval County, Florida, vouches for the truth of the fol- lowing incident which came under his ob- servation: Rover, a large, shaggy dog, was the occupant of a well-kept kennel and was frequently companioned by a duck, which finally gave a supreme test to his friendship by laying an even dozen of eggs in a corner of his kennel. Rover did not resent the encroachment, but on the comtrary seemed to feel the responsi- bility of guardianship and at night liy with his nose a little closer to the door of the kennel, while the duck sat on the eggs in her pre-empted corner. In «cue season eight ducklings appeared and Rover appeared as delighted as if he had dug a woouchuck out of his hole in the pasttire lot. A week later the mother duck lost her life in a cow-kick accident and Rover at once assumed the care of the web-footed orphans, nestling them in his long hair at night and-in the daytime swimming with them in the pond. THREE GIRL FADS. Hand-painted large buttons are in favor. A girl who can paint a set for herself is in luck. Girls are making long, narrow sofa pil- ‘ows. About 16 inches by 2 is the rule. An early-rising fad has hit the girls. Bath, breakfast and golf, or a bicycle ride between 6:3 and 11 is a healthful pro- gramme.

Ex-Superintendent Nicholas Karr denies that he told a lady lawyer to go to Hades. It is likely that only lawyers of the masculine sex go there. If Secretary Gage is to desert Chicago to become a resident of New York, it will be rather mortifying to the Windy City. She would almost as lief see one of her prominent people remove to St. Louis.

The graduate of the grammar school went to college, developed his general knowledge, acquired the perception of his particular faculties, of ‘his individuality, and found himself incapable—in the lack of money, in the lack of ability to earn money—helpless at the threshold of his career. The remedy was applied immediately. Mr. Pulitzer gave an endowment fund of $100,000 to Columbia University. By the terma of it 10 elect among the grammar echool gradu- ates receive free tuition in the preparatory high schoo] and the collegiate courses of the university every year. The preparatory studies are in the Horace Mann School. They take three or four years, in the course of which each elect under the scholarship received $7. At the end of it he may go to a college that he has chosen and receive $250 a year, or enter Columbia University—the School of Arte, Mines or Law—and receive free tuition, be- sides $200 a year. Since 1883 this new Pulitzer’s free scholarships has been in triumphal vperation. A committee, come wosed of W. H. Merrill, representing Mr. Pulitzer; Virgil Prettyman, principal of the Horace Mann High School, and Joseph J.

THE RUGBY SEASON, IT WILL BE COMMENCED IN REAL EARNEST SATURDAY. The local Rugby football séason will be commenced in real earnest next Saturday afternoon when the St. Louis High School boys will cross the river and meet the East St. Louls High School team on the latter’s own grounds. The game should be no more than exercise gallop for the city boys. Heretofore the second team has always been able to dispose of the lads across the river. So theré is no reason to suppose the first will not do Hkewise. Smith Academy’s first game will be with the redoubtable West Ends, the team that played High School to a standstill. Allow- ing for the consequent improvement, par- ticularly after such a hard game, the West ends will come dangerously near beating tet if they do not actually do it, They outweigh thé school team considerably and their individual experience is much greater —two vastly important factors in a football ame.

BOTH MEN NOW HARD AT WORK. Tim Callahan, the Philadelphia Feath- erweight, Is Going to Give Johnnie Richie Another Chance. The sailor pugilist, Tom Sharkey, and the champion pugilist of the world, Jim Jef- fries, are now both fn training for their battle for the championship of the world, which is to take place in Néw York the lat- ter part of this month. Jeffries is at his old quarters at Asbury Park, while Sharkey is at New Dorp, L. I. From ‘all accounts i will sure enough be a battle between well-trained giants and neither man is to have ‘a walkover. Sharkey is said to be in the best condi- tion he has ever been in for a prize bat- tle. He is said to be thoroughly hardened, He is algo reported to have lost much of his awkwardness. He was badly muscle- bound when he began to box. But now he surprises the ec ever men who spar with him by his shiftiness. Sharkey believes in hard work. He boxes long and hard. He runs, wrestles, punches the bag and is in motion from the get-up bell to good night, Jeffries and his manager, Billy Brady, afe confident of an easy Victory. harkey and his manager, Tom O’Rourke, are quite as certain of winning. But there will be hus- tiling in both camps until the day of the fight. P Charley Daly, once St. Louis’ crack light weight boxer, and who has seen all the big fights, thinks that this time Sharkey will win.. “Take the records of the men,” said Daly, “and you will see that Sharkey has the best. True, Jeffries is the biggest man of the two, but Sharkey weighs 185, ang a4 man of that we‘ght is heav™ enough rfor all practical purposes. Beside that, Sharkey set his heart on winning this fight a long while ago and has trained for it as he never did before. Jeffries, on the other hand, has been taking things easy and has only commenced to get in condit'on. Of course, at ‘that he may win. But if he does, he will surprise me.” A St. Louisan who has picked. the winner in every battle forthe heavy weight cham- pionship sinee the day Sullivan licked Paddy Ryan at Mississ‘ppi City, Mi s that this time a ring will go around Snhar- key’s name. When Jeffries was here this suemmer he was asked what he thought of his chances with Sharkey. He said then: “TIT licked him when I knew nothing about boxing and when [I had nothing to de- pend on but my strength. Now that I am a finished boxer I think I ought to get away with him easily.’’ Tim Hurst who is coming here to referee the Martin Flaherty and Tommy Hogan glove contest which is to take place at the Fourteenth Street Theater next Mon- day night, is expected in St. Louis on Thursday morning. The St. Louis Athletic Club propose Open- ing up business on Monday night with a boom. Several rattling preliminary bouts will take place before the 20-round bout be- tween Hogan and Flaherty. The new vlub has fitted up its gymnasium in fine style and now claims to have the a. Senore gymnasium and club in the est. Wednesday night is the time set for the 20-round bout between Steve Flanagan and Casper Leon, for the bantamweight cham- pionship of the world. Flanagan has never been défeated and in him Leon, for the first time in many a day, promisés to meet a foeman in every way worthy of his steel. Joe Stewart has been agreed on by both men as referee. TIPS FROM THE TURF. Startér Billy Bruén Returns from His Holiday Trip East. Starter Billy Bruen got home from the East on Tuesday and was at the Fair Grounds in the afternoon look.ng at the trotters. “The racing game is booming in the Wast,’’ said Billy. ‘I put in four weeks around New York and spent nearly every afternoon at the track. The one thing that attracted my attention more than anything else was the mile turf track at Sheepshead Bay. The regular course there is a mile and an eighth. This makes the inner turt course just a mile, and two racés a day of the regular programme are run over it. The inner course ‘s like a piece of green velvet, and the horees running over the grass do not seem to leave & mark. “While I was East I saw Fitzgerald’s starting severely criticized, but I considercd his work first-class and thought the abuse showered on him uncalled for. 4 “T met many St. Louisans at the Eastern tracks. Billy Sullivan and the -Fletcher boys, Pat and Billy, are there with their hand*cap books and al! are prospering. “Yes, I saw the Dewey parade, Imagine a crowd of m_llions pushing you along and a procession which showed uniforms of every color of the rainbow and men of all sizes and country, and you will have some idea of the parade. No one of this gen- ération wil! ever live to see its like again.” There will be a great race at Morris Park on Thursday when the Bronx-Highweight Handicap, iast six furlongs of the Withers straight mile course will be run.

Once cured by me, you will never again be bothered with emissions, drains, premature- ness, small or weak organs, hervousness, falling memory, loss of ambition or other symptoms which rob you of your manhood and absolutely unfit you for study, business, pleasure or Marriage.

And little Miss Walsh seems to inherit ‘all her mother’s wit and simplicity of man- ner, with her father’s dignity and courtii- ness, as well as the capacity of both par- (‘ents for making friends. | Tuesday night was the first time Miss Walsh had ever attended one of the Velled Pro het’s balls. f course I went out quite a great deal last year,’’ she said to one of the Post- Dispatch staff, ‘“‘but never to such an ex- citing sort of performance. I-don’t believe I could tell you an earthly thing of what took place before the coronation. I only know that there was a dizzying, confusing sea of faces all round me and that every- body was talking at once, with the band of course you need not tell that. ‘‘How did I feel when the mysterious Personage in the chiffon front-piece put the crown on my head? Why, I wondered if it was on straight, of course. I had a hor- ror of being made a queen on the bias— having my crown cocked over one eye, you know. I expected it to fall off any min- ute, so after the ‘operation’ was over, I kept as still as a mouse until I found an opportunit o settle it more rs And then—oh! &%® like a new man ike an invalid gaining consciousness after a de- lirilum. I was so pleased to discover that I was really awake that I began to enjoy myself thoroughly.

I was all right. And when the band began to play a dreamy sort of waltz, of course, I was dying to hop right down off that lofty throne concern and ‘be a child again just for to-night.’ You know how it—but no; mayne you weren’t ever a queen. “It’s great fun, and makes you feel very grand and .important, but you can’t help wishing about 49 times a minute (until the coronation) that it was somebody else. “Did you see Carrie Cook? She was the most beautiful creature I ever saw and I heard a great many people say she was the handsomest girl there. But all the girls were looking their best, I believe, for I don’t remember of ever having seen so many lovely faces. I enjoyed it immensely and I was genuinely sorry when it was all over.

St. Louis arose late Wednesday morning and looked retrospectively at the Veiled Prophet’s parade and ball. The parade was gorgeous, the ball brill- jant and the annual fete was an entire euccess., The parade was gent over the advertised route on time. Delays were not as nu- merous as in former years and the head of the procession arrived at the Merchants’ Exchange shortly before 10:30. The ballroom was crowded to its capacity when the Prophet and his retinue entered. The gallery wae filled. The attendance could scarcely have been greater. Miss Ellen Humphreys Walsh was made queen of the ball. Of course, Miss Walsh was selected as queen some time ago by the managers of the ball,’ but it was in the. Prophet play for the Veiled Visitor to publicly proclaim Miss Walsh the sov- ereign of society, to rule until the next Veiled Prophet’s ball. If there shall be no next V.

The changes in price were at no time very great, and it was only the unexpected fall in the market at the opening of the session that caused what little excitement there was; this was the exciting riod; later there were a few gains made by the tage followed by losses forced by the bears that did not change the market much, the moderately exciting period, then there came a period when both factions were contented to rest and allow the mMatket to remain unchanged, the quiet period.

This also has a subduing effect on the bulls, for with an unknown supply of wheat in the West the bulls are very careful abant thelr actions in the grain pit. December wheat still had the most attention from the pit. Though May was not much slighted, the October future was sadly neg.ected. December opened at 74c, a fall of 9-16e since yesterday's ciose. After ‘the opening the price fell to Ga , but did not remain long at this figure, the bulls getting into the pit and forcing prices back to the opening figure, 7é4e.

Ringing noises, or sounds imprisoned with- in the head, either indicate a condition that has already resulted in impaired hearing, or they show that the hearing is going to fail in a short time. In other words, ring- ing noises are forerunners of lost hearing, harbingers often of total Deafness. As the presence of ringing in the ears gives warning of approaching Deafness, so its disappearance indicates the passing away of the condition that causes the Deaf- ness. Many persons under treatment have no- ticed that the sounds in their heads cease @ little time before the sense of hearing returns. The patient can have absolute confidence in during the treatment of ear troubles, namely, that whenever the treai- ment has gained an influence over the head noises, be that infhuence‘ever so small, if it but diminishes the sounds a trifle, if it changes the character of the sounds in any way, it gives hope, for it is almost a certain sign that the restoration of the hearing or at least a marked improvement in the hear- ing, will take place within a reasonable length of time. y Henry Dunocker.

Reports froim Southeastern Nebraska show that they have had no rain to speak of for the past seven weeks, and the ground is in very bad shape for fall seeding. Very little plowing has been done on account of these conditions. ‘in- ter wheat reports from Central Ohio show that fall seeding is not yet completed. A good deal of complaint about wheat not coming up well. Seeding 14 days later than usual. Reserves of ‘98 crop pretty well exhausted. Ocean freight rates have been advanced and will tend to restrict export business unless Euro- pean markets advance accordingly. There is practically no demand for cash wheat in Chicago. Stocks are large and receipts promise to be liberal. Duluth bas a latge stock of wheat, which is largely replenished relatively as cheap as Chicago's. Seaboard stocks have been this summer and are adequate to fill the export demand for some time to come. With the large stocks in Chicago, it is expected there will be a heavier carrying charge on May wheat.

EW YORK, Oct. 4.—The recovery in stocks on . London Exchange caused an advance at the opening here. Railroads generally advanced a sharp fraction, but in the case of Norfolk & Western the rise was 1%, and in Louisville a point. A num- ber of the specialties showed gains between 1 and 2 points, including Tobacco, Sugar, Reading frst preferred and Tennessee Coal. The buying movement slackened and there was @ gtadual setback. The reaction extended to 2% in Chicago Great Western preferred B, and a potas each in Sugar and Tenessee (oa). Railroads n the main beld well. There was a sharp rise in New York Air Brake, Pacific Mail, Wheeling & Lake Erie second preferred, and Norfolk & West- ern preferred. Active bidding for Pullman lifted it 7% to 100%. The list generally rose above the opening level. Stocks which had made the most headway were realized on. Pullman fell 36, but recovered part- ly. Substantial losses also occurred in General Electric, Pacific Mail and Tennessee Coal. Sales to noon, 135,146 shares. Higher prices were ob- tained for bonds, but the demand was light and confined to semi-speculative issues. There was slightly more activity In the marklet late to-day and prices were advanced to the high- est level. The decline in the money rate was the motive, but the dmand was soon satisid. The clos- ing was dull and firm below the best at net gains —approaching or exceeding a point in many cases St. Louis Bank Clearings.

The interest in the futures was very evenly divided. as none of them opened till near the close of the cession, even bid and selling prices being few and well seattered. The receipts at the local market were large, in comparison to last year, and naturally had a quieting effect on the market.

Gospel Is Now Preached to Over 100,- 000,000 Heathen in Foreign Lands by 529 Devoted Exponents. PROVIDENCE, R. I., Oct. 4.—The annual survey of the work of the Board of Ameri- can Commissioners for Foreign Missions was to-day presented by the foreign secre- taries, the Rev. Dr. Judson Smith and the Rev. Dr. James '‘L. Barton. Secretary Bar- ton read the report of the BDuropean Tur- key and the BMastern Turkey missions; Ma- rathi, Madura and Ceylon miseigns in In- dia; Japan, Austria, Spain and Mexico. The peals for larger liberty and a more aggres- Sive pol.cy in the work of evangelization. Among other things, Dr. Barton saia: “Since the war the missionaries in Spain have traveled freely and have carried on their work as before without the slighteet word or look upon the part of any gsie that any lil will was enterta:ned, whi.e in some p.aces it had been made most evident that he people were especially eager to greet and honor Americans.”’ Secretary Smith's department Was sur- veyed by himself, in substance as follows: “The missions included are eleven in num- ber, two in Asia Minor, the Western Tur- key and the Central Turkey missions; three in. Africa, the Zulu, the West Central ebf- rica and the East Central Africa missions, two in the Pacific Islands, the Micrones an miseions and the work of the beard in the Hawaiian Islands, and four in China. the Shasni, the North China, the Foo Chow and the South China mission. “The event of the year in Micronesia is the end:ng of the Spanish occupation of Ponape and the transfer of the Carolines to the German Pmpire. This undoes, so far as that can be, the évents of 1887 and 1899, Which banished the missionaries from Po- napel, and opens the way to the immediate and energetic reocecupation ef this island as a station of the board. “In 2% missions distributed among the great continents and nations and islands as to encircle the globe, and offering the gospel to more than 100,000,000 souls. a force of 529 missionaries, assisted by 3155 native laborers in 1147 strategic points, preach the Gospel in % different languages; 492 organ- ized churches have a present membership of 49,782, of whom 5,07 have been received on confession this year, and 1021 Sunday- schools gather 65,903 pupils every Lord’s dav; 133 colleges and high schools train 988 picked youth of both eexes, and 1137 commen schools provide instruction for 43,- 9X) pupils, while mission presses send out their m.llions of pages to instruct the Chris- tian communities and hospitals ang dispen- Saries minister relief to 120.000 patients, to ad ag of whom the Gospel message is given.,’’ NEGROES IN THE SOUTH. Petition to the President to Suppress Lynching of Colored Men. BOSTON, Oct. 4—President McKinley’s attitude toward the negro in the South was discussed by the Colored National League in the Charles Street Church last night. The matter came up in the form of an open :etter from the league to President McKinley, protesting against his executive inactivity in relation to lawlessness in the South.

In the genera!) discussion which fed its reading the only dissenting was that of Isaac B. Allen of Boston opposed the protest on the general nd thatit was simp.y an attack on the sent Administration, and, therefore, WOseqmny,y to the principles of the league, which is not a political but’a racial organ- ization. Attention was called to the fact that several petitions are being circulated throughout the country, which originated in Boston, one a protest against race dis- crimination by the restaurant and hotel keepers in Washington. Reference was also made to a petition, now receiving signatures here, bringing before Congress the prevalence in the Southern States of lynching of negroes, protesting that euch overthrowing of the law rendered human life frightfully cheap. The petition goes on to pray that the act of lynching be made a crime against the United States, that the President of the United States be empowered to intervene with the armed forces of the Nation to prevent the commis- sion of the atrocious crime, and to rescue any persons from the hande of such mobs in any State of the Union. The petition further sugggests the creation of a cen- tral detective bureau at Washington, with branches outside, for the purpose of in- forming the President of all lynching in- tentions, The petition will 'be presented to Congress next December. WILL FIGHT THE CASE. Dentists Mean to Contest the Dow Crown and Bridge Patent. BOSTON, Oct. 4.—Acting on the recent de- cision of the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York establishing, it is claimed, the validity of the patent isued in 1881 to James E. Low, for crown and bridge dental work, which was assigned to a certain company, the present holders of the patent have placed attachments on the offices of seven Boston dentists. This patent has been the caus of an immense amount of litigation, and it is said that eh 4 every dentist in the couathy had used the crown and bridge- work. After ‘a New York decision a circular was sent fo dentists, requesting that they pay $% a year for every year during which they have used the wark. Some of them it is said, have agreed to this, but most of them are determined to avoid payment if possible, and they have organized to fight the case. They say that the matter will be taken to the United States Court of Appeals and to the United States Bu- preme Court if necessary. je ES SD Hay’s Hair- ea Health NEVER PAII.S TO BRIN BACK hed Ba ° ‘ul color and beaaty te gray, ité or c air.

DALLAS, Tex., Oct. 4.—'welve hundred persons Were seated at the dollar dinner closing the Texas Democratic carnival last night. Five thousand persons paid © cents each for standing room in the hall and twice as thany were turned away. Twenty orators spoke at the dinher.

It is es- timated that as a result of the carnival subscriptions secured from all Texas for the next campaign will aggregate $100,000. Ex-Gov.

The Jefferson Club of St. Louis Will teach home at oclock Thursday gy Beside Mr, Bryan, no orator at the dinner received the applause that was accorded O. H. P. Belmont of New York and Marry B. Hawes of St. Louis. Mr. Hawes, freply- ing to the toast of ‘“Missourl, Kentucky and Texas,” said in part: “I thank you for the honor you have ac- corded the Jefferson Club in inviting us to be present here to-night, and trust that we may have an opportunity to extend to you the same courteous and hospitable re- sooee in Missquri that you have given us ere, “St. Louis will meet with the hearty.good will and co- operation of the whole Southwest. The great World’s Fair in 188 to celebrate the Louisiana Purchase is in reality the cele- bration of a gréat Democratic Victory, as it was through the shrewdness, the fore- sight and keen political judgment of Thomas Jefferson, the founder of our party, that it was made Fo gene to add this vast domain to our pu ye possessions. Every Democrat, every exan, Missourian or Kentuckian who does not give us his hearty co-operation and support in. this rand project ig untrue to the memory of our chief and’ is lacking in patriotism. ‘We believe that Bryan will be the Presi- dent of the United States while this great Fair is in session, and I here pledge the untiring efforts of the Jefferson Club of St. Louls to redeem that great city from the corrupt and unscrupulous gang of . litical tricksters who now disgrace its fair name and render its politics repugnant to the vast SouthWest which supports it. ‘Unless all signs fail the National Demo- cratic Convention will hold its meeting for the purpose of nominating Bryan for Presi- dent in our beautiful Kansas City, the sec- ond metropolis of the West. “We will welcome you at both cities with outstretched arms, brothers of ours. Men of Texas, our latehstrings will be upon the outside and Missouri will show to Texas that, difficult task though it may be, she will not be outdone in hospitality and good- fellowship by even your generous people.” HARMONY NOW ESSENTIAL. 0. H. P. Belmont Pledges the Eastern Democracy to Loyalty. Mr. Belmont in his speéch dwelt chiefly on the necessity for harmony in the party. He said in part: “T have not comé not so much to speak to you as to listen. I ‘have come in responce to the cordial invitation TI received, in appreciation of the honor eon- ferred upon me by that invita- tion and to witness this great rally of Democrats preparing to march to victory. have come also with the pleasant task of bringing the greetings of the Democracy of the Empire State and to tell you that we are walting to march as a tnit to victory with you in 1900. All factions are coming together. All wounds are healing and ail scars are disap earing. , ‘Gentlemen, the question that the people of this great republic have eome face to face with have caused every man who ever had the slightest Democratic sentiment in his makeup to register his determination to eleet 4 Democratic President and restofe the Democratic party to power. “Tite is pressing, and I must hurry on. We gather in the name of Democracy on the eve of a tremendous political campaign with the convention still months away, but our standard bearer is practically settled upon by the people. The nomina- tion will be a mere formality. The name of Bryan, Democracy’s next candidate, and the country’s next president, is heard on every lip. On the subje of the ticket, therefore, I need not pause. “Age to issues, I wll Say but little. Not that I feel lightly about them. Like you, I fee] that the very tenure of Atfivtlean plurality. institutions is at stake. Our war in 1900 will be as much a war for liberty and independence as was that of our forefathers in 1776. No; I do not slight the issues in my talk to-day, because they are insignifi- cant or not constant in my mind. ‘They were never of more foment. Imperialism, monopoly, militarism, finance, income tax, all clamor for consideration, You have already heard and will again hear of them _ » cae I era dl fail to rt Sy than touch: Ipo em, eir sure elaborat! safer, better hands than mine. —_ “There is one topic, however, on which I may briefly expand. It Is Democratic harmony and party union. It must be tn- voked. There must come an unbroken party front to build up victory and win triumph from the battle of 1990. The man who raises his voice to disturb it will be guilty of a great crime. “And now, in the name of harmony, let me speak one word concerning the Democ-. racy of New York; the Democracy from which I come to you and which I atrain no truth when I sag I fairly represent. The New York Deéemoeracy will be solidly with you in the coming battle. It wil) stand by and stay with you to the glorious last. 1 might say the same of the whole region ook of the Alleghenies. Papers and politicians, mug- wumps, Republicans and traitors wearing the mask of Democracy, all moved by the power of money and greed, will ever and anon tell you _ of Democratic disaffection in the Bast. Such are the “7 and wiles of the enemies. They are paid for by Re- blican money. elr inspiration is u Hanna. Their purpose is the disorganiza- tion of Democracy and to set the South and West against the Bt. ‘“T am here to-day to refute these stories. I have come miles to brand these Hanna-suggested falsehoods.

Irritable Persons Who Tried to Oppose the Crowd and Patient Persons Who Were Imposed Upon. ——eE The aftermath of the Veiled Prophet's pa- geant was ms at the City Hospital Wednesday morning. The anatomy of several persons was dis- placed, while others fell victims to ex- cessive enthusiasm. About midnight the door leading to the hospital reception room opened and a young man staggered across the floor. “Joe Carr again,” said the doctor. ‘Send him down to No. 1.” The patient was picked up at Tenth and Pine streets. Carr was feeling better Wednesday. He said the diamond engage- ment ring supposed to have been stolen from him a few days ago, was recovered. “I felt so good at getting it back,’ he added, “that I went out and celebrated, Yes, I saw the parade, and the circus float made me feel like a boy again.” Harry Gelaht, aged 13, sat on a cot look- ing like Little Bo Peep. He has a scalp wound and two broken teeth. : “It just happened this way,” he said. “I and my cousin were on Twelfth street and Washington avenue watching the show go by, when up came a gay bunch of kids and crecked me over the head with a horn. “Says I, that don’t go, and then the gang jumps us again. What made me swelled was they were niggers. Whew, but my head aches! “Say B.,’’ called out Henry as the nurse passed,”’ do you know if Fred is here? Harry’s home is at Fifteenth and Mont- gomery streets. Next to young Gelaht is Willie Cravens, 14 years old. “I'll get even with 'em yet,” he kept mut- tering. ‘Yes, I’m going to smash that —_ lip if I have to get pinched or t."” Then he burst into tears and between boo4hoos sald: ‘I missed the floats on a@ count of him.” Willie doesn’t know the name of his as- egy but he declares he can identify iim, If the police will call at the hospital he will furnish them a tip as to where he may be found. The bovy’s injuries are not serious. He has a black eye and his nose appears as though the family kitten had been playing with it. Fannie Milehan, 63 years old, of 8417 Olive street, was crossing the street at Channing avenue and Olive street when a cable car came along. The crowd jostled her and ehe fell over the fender. She was taken to the hospital. Dr. Scharff pronounced her dnjuries slight. William Patterson was viewing the parade at Broadway and Olive street when he acci- dentally stepped on the wrong man’s corns. The stranger referred to Mr. Patterson’s apologies as ‘“‘hot air’ and struck Mr. Patterson twice in the jaw. The jaw is fractured and will hold the victim incommunicado at the hospital for several days. The man who was the cause of it all has mot been apprehended. Patterson’s enly recollection of him is that he wore a mustache and side cuts and a bunch of whiskers beneath his chin.
