Rhodesia, Thursday, Nov. 8, Via Lorenzo Marquez, Nov. 18.—Chief Khama reports from Selikwe Village that the Boer forces there have joined the Boer force on the Crocodile Liver, opposite Se- Hkwe Hill. Tuesday, Nov. 7, the Boers, with a large number of armed natives and four guns. crossed the Crocodile River and proceeded to Selikwe Hill, fired four ehots, retired and recrossed the Crocodile River.

White, who reports ali well there. He says that the Boer shells have 60 far had no effect. Gen. White recently made a sortie and Grove the Boers from their gun position. The British did not lore a man. The town is healthy. It is rumored that the Boers have oc- cupled the village of Weenen, 25 miles from here. What advantage they hope to derive from this mevement is not known. The bombardment of Ladysmith has been continued almost daily with big guns. The Boers endeavored Tuesday, Nov. 4, to make a €loser investment, but were re- pulsed, Gen. White ending up with a sortie Which drove the Koers from all their post- tions with considerable loss. he Boers are reported to be seriously short of provisions. > A few Boers are laagered near Frere. A few others have been seen moving east. An ambulanve train there has gone for- Ward to try to recover our wounded. Yesterday's lovrses in the armored train engagement have been ascertained to be, in wounded or missing: Dublin Fusi.iers—Capt. Haldane, attached, Lieut. Frankland and 45 men. Dublin Light Infantry—Capt. Wylie and 2 men. A heavy musketry fire was heard in the direction of Ladysmith at 2 o'clock this morning, but there was no sound of can- non. CAVALRY NOT YET IN ESTCOURT Report, Too, That Gen. Buller Has “Gone Up Country” Appears to Have Been a Misstatement. LONDON, Nov. 18.—Much criticism has been expended on the apparent lack of a proper reconnaissance by cavalry in con- mection with the armored train disaster mear FEsstcourt. This fact, it is claimed, goes to prove that the re-enforcements, es- ecially of cavalry, although landed at rbhan, have not yet arrived at Estcourt. Wo official or reliable accounts have been received in London of the troops’ move- , Ments from Durban, and therefore it Is be- _Meved the transport difficulties may be @reater than is generally imagined, in : Which case the relief of Ladysmith may be ‘delayed. The censorship in such matters ' is etrict. It has been reported that Gen. | Buller has ‘“‘gone up country,” but the jat- , @8t Official dispatches seem to show he has _Hot left Cape Town. The changes neces- | @itated in his plons are further shown by the fact that Major-General Sir Corneijus ‘Clery, who was originally designated to command the division to operate on the Orange River. with his base at Port Eliza- h, is now sent to Estcourt to take over Ur CHURCHILL, Boers Profess Ignorance of His Whereabeuts. GEN. BULLER COMMENDS HIM. POST-DISPATCH CORRESPONDENT PREVENTED A ROUT. Transvaal Officers Will Not Surrender the Prisoners Taken at Chevely and Say That the Dead Have Already Been Buried. OO ooo ESTCOURT, Natal, Friday, Nov. 18.—Dr. Briscoe, who was in charge of the Red Cross train sent to bring the killed and suc- cor the wounded of the armored train dis- sater, gives an interesting account of a sec- ond interview which he had with the Boer commandant, who met Dr. Briscoe as soon as he left the train carrying a white flag. The commandant replied to the Doctor's request for permission to remove the dead and wounded by saying that there was no need to hand over the dead, who had al- ready been buried, and that so far as the wounded were concerned, they were being well cared for by the Boer hospital corps. The Boer commandant and Dr. Briscoe interchanged compliments on the pluckiness exhibited on both sides. The commandant spoke Pnglish fiyently, was of highly pol- ished manners, gxpressed admiration for the British «s ers, and promised to do his beet to get the names of the killed. When questioned concerning the where- abouts of Lieut. Winston Churchill, the correspondent of the St. Louis Post-Dis- patch, the commandant replied: “Tl do not know.”’ Dr. Briscoe says the public and the rela- tives of the wounded may be assured that they will be well cared for, as a Scotch surgeon, Dr. Maxwell, was pressed into the Boer service at Ermelo to take charge of the Boer hospital. Capt. Wylie, in an interview says that Sergt. Tod deserves special. mention for having surrounded him with bow:dera to protect him from rifle fire when laying helpless and wounded. Tod even lay down beside the officer to cheer him up. A. shell landed among the protecting bowlders, spattering them with earth, but Capt Wylie sustained no further injury. But for Tod he would have been killed. Several men escaped marvelously. When Winston Churchill requested Capt. Wrlie to call for ¢olunteers to. remove the upset truck, bullets, it is said, were drop- ping on the train “like rain.’’ The men throughout stuck to their work, responding to the noble example set by Churchill and Lieut. Frank!in, until the line was cleared. (Churchill actually left with the ,engine, but he got out at the next station, Frere, took a rifle from a soldier, saving he could not leave the wounded, and walked away in the direction of the Boers Sergt. Hassett of the Dublin Fusillers be- haved with the greatest gallantry. He took eharge of the firing party and 6tood up un- flinchingely dur'ng the Boers’ hot fire.- His example electrified the Fusiliers, who kept the Boers at bay by volleying. Capt. Haldane fell early in the engage- ment, shot through the shoulder. Lieut. Franklin's conduct is highly praised. He exhithited great coolness dur- ing the critical peiiod. He is reported mizs* ing. Copeland of the Durban Volunteers was crushed to death hy the derailed truck, and Godfrey, a mMplate laver. was shot through the head, but is dotue well. Lieut. Alexander had an exciting experi- ence. A fueilier, who had been wounded in the arm ‘Sy a ehell, which shattered the limb, swung around and hit Alexander in the neck, almost smothcring him with blood. The shel! burst in front of the Lieutenant, on a level) with his face. and he staggered, blinded for a moment. The next instant he saw his comrade lying dead at his feet. while he himself was unharmed. Private Kavanaugh of the Dubliins per- formed splendid work. When the British firing ine fell back he, time after time, rallied the men, volleyed and prevented the horseshoe line of the Boers from envelop- at the front. The Times’ correspondent also gives a stirring description of the storming of Talana Hill, and mentions that Gen. Symons fell mortally wounded when galloping along the line to tell the troops that the hill must be taken. He descrinpes the storming cf the hill as one of the ) greatest achievements of the British in- fantry. GONE TQ JEFFERSON CITY- ~o--" President Hawes of the Police Board and Prominent Attorneys to Ap- pear Before Supreme Court. ——- - —- --— President Harry B. Hawes of the Police Board, and his wife, formerly Miss Eliza- beth Eppes Robinson, returned Saturday from their wedding trip to Covington, Ky., where they visited relatives of Mr. Hawes. They arrived at Union Station in the early morning and had breakfast at the Terminal Hotel. They left an hour later for Jefferson City, where Mr. Hawes will attend the police bill hearing before the State Supreme Court Saturday afternoon, They were accompanied by Frederick N. Judson, John H. Overall and R. H. Kern, who are attorneys for the Police Board. Election Commissioner William.E, Atmore was also in the party. City Counselor Schnurmacher, who will represent Auditor )Magson, went to Jefferson C.ty Friday night. “We had a delightful visit among our Kentucky friends and relatives,’’ said Mr, Hawes. ‘“‘We were sorry we could not re- main longer, but it was necessary that I be in Jefferson City to-day. I will not take any active part in the argument of the police bill before the Supreme Court, but I must be present to watch the proceedings. I am confident the law will be sustained, All th® authorities are in our favor, as well as common necessity. The legal rep- resentativesa of the Police Board have pre- pared elaborate and convincing briefs on all the points the city bas raised. They will supplement these by comprehensive oral arguments. “The case the court will consider to- day is the application for the writ. of mandamus commanding-the City Auditor to audit the police payroll under the new bill. All the ‘sues that were raised in.the injunction proceedings in the lower court and the subsequent injunction of that tin- pate in the Supreme Court are em- died in the application for relief ' mandamus. If the decision of the court takes the ordinary run, it will not be made under ten days. But if the case is re- garded of sufficient importance an eral de- e‘sion may be rendered at the conclusion argument. the oral decision its only a pess!i- bility. While I have no doubt the court will be convinced of the justice of our position when the argument is concluded, it will probably elect to make a personal and more careful examination of the cited authorities. In that event, the fate of the bill will not be determined for several days.”’ BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT. Argument Begun in the Case Concern- ing the Election Law. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Nov. 18.—St. Louis’ City Election Commissioner cases, State ex rel. James J. McCaffery et al. vs. Louis P. Aloe et al. and State ex rel. J. J. McCaffery et al. vs. T. C.

When he jumped to the floor the back room was ablaze and its smoke pouring into the sleeping apart- ment in such volume that Pichinger carea not attempt to enter.

Then he turned back to search for his wife. The fire had spread to the bedroom and he was driven to the window. He jumped out and ran to the side entrance to the saloon. The wife had been faithful to her duties. it was unlocked. The door between the saloon and the kitchen was closed, but already the flerce heat was melting the glass partition. Elchinger flung it open and dashed into the fire. He loudly called the name of his wife. There was no answer. The man gave thanks for this, for he believed after dis- covering the fire the woman had escaped. He fought his way through the heat and fire to the sideboard. He recovered a few singed bills of small denomination and started back to the door. The fire then was roaring all around him.

UNIQUE AMONG NEWSPAPERS. Classifying the newspapers of the State which favor the primary plan of nominating candidates, the State Tribune remarks: “The Post-Dispatch is the Post-Dispatch.’ We thank the State Tribune for those words. The Post- Dispatch is unique. It stands solitary and alone in its suc- cess among the newspapers of the West. -It is the leader of them all. ; The Post-Dispatch is the leading afternoon and Sunday newspaper. It has the best news service. It is the only St. ‘Louis afternoon newspaper with the Assoctated Press service. It is the only newspaper sharing in the news service and special features of the leading New York newspaper—the World. The Post-Dispatch is unique in having the largest circula- tion west of the Mississippi River and the best record of growth. From Sept. 3 to Nov. 12, the circulation of the Sun- @ay Post-Dispatch rose from 112,597 to 129,004—an unprece- dented growth to an unequaled figure within the transmis- sissipi territory. The Post-Dispatch is unique in its fearless independence. Democratic in principles, it is independent in conduct and doves not hesitate to expose and condemn the misdeeds of Democratic officials. It tells the truth. It is not hampered by the control or influence of any party machine, party boss or party faction. “The Post-Dispatch is the Post-Dispatch’’—the most popular newspaper in the West. Sept. Sept. best and England has expanded so much that the sun never sets on ber enemies. = = —- - THE LADY'S LINGERIE, Gen. Otis has just made an important capture. taken Senora Aguinaldo's wardrobe. This is by far the most satisfactory military achievement of the war. It is not easy to calculate the consequences of such a catch. The Senora cannot do without a wardrobe. She must have another one without delay—one suitable to her dignity as wife of the head of a great State. What effect will this have upon Aguinaldo’s exchequer? Can the treasury bear the strain? The wardrobe of a Fili- pino lady of quality may not be extensive, but it is sure to be the best that money will buy and prices must be very high in Luzon. Gen. Otis is to be congratulated. Next to catching Aguin- aido, the capture of his wife’s wardrobe is the most hrilliant feat of arms pussible in that swampy country. ee There is little use cautioning families to boil the city wa- ter, while the ¢ghildren at the public schools are compelled to drink it in its natural state. If the water is a source of typhoid, almost every family in the city fs in danger while no precautions are taken at the public schools. = -— MR. HUNTINGTON ON EDUCATION. Mr. C. P. Huntington, the capitalist and railway magnate, States, in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, his views on education, Mr. Huntington thinks there is too much indiscriminate edu- cation, The boy should be taught the use of the tools by Which he expects to make his living and not filled with knowledge which has no connection with his life work. Such «m view is worth consideration, but. what is one’s life “work? Is it merely to make a living?

He is a woodsawyer, yes-— and let him be trained for his. work, but he is first a -man—lilet him have what is his right as a man—everything ‘that will make his Ilfe richer and more Satisfactory to himself and his neighbors.

Some of the governments of Europe, having attended to the matter of good roads, are now adding to the national wealth and the picturesqueness of country sides by planting fruit trees along the public roads. France has led in this improvement. The tall poplar trees, Which weed to be a feature of the Freneh landscape, were found to have such sprecsding roots as to Injure the flelds, These trees have given place to cherry, plum and other fruit trees. . The product of these wayside fruit trees in France is now Valued at $60,000 900 a vear. Belgium has over 3000 miles of roads planted with fruit trees. Germany, Switzeriond and other countries are following the example of Franc in every case it is found that the Sive eatisfaction to the people and add largely to the local and national wealth. If the roadaiiies in the United States were only partly @iilized for fruit growing the result would be inestimable. trees increasing our wealth, of which we have hardly dreamed. Lieut. Churchill of the Fourth Hussars fearlessly exposed himself to the Hoer fire and inspired his men. The entire en- campment was struck with his admirable conduct, and there are hopes that he may have escaped capture or death. As hes one of the Post-Dispatch’s correspondents in the great struggle in the Transvaal, our readers are especially interest- ed in his fate. id GATES ON TRUST PHILANTHROPY. Some of the statements made by John W. Gates of the Steel and Wire Trust before the Industrial Commission are hardly in accord with facts. Mr. Gates says that his trust does not seek a monopoly, and that its disposition is to encourage other similar trade OLBanizations. If this is so, why has the trust, as Mr. Gates admits, shut down a number of its plants? If it does not hope to cover the market would it not prefer to run its own plants to the full capacity, rather than see other and competing corporations cutting in on its market? Is the trust a business organiza- tion, and is it not good business to°’hold the market as far as possible? Mr. Gates further asserts that the enormous Increase in prices of steel und wire products since the trust was or- ganized are ue to increase in wages and cost of materials. Yet many of the plants have been shut down. Does not the saving from clusing these plants and dismissing the work- men and managers who were employed in them far exceed the increase in wages that is claimed to have been granted to the workers still retained? Is not the trust making an enormous saving from this source? The increase in cost of raw materials does not account for the much greater in- crease in prices of products. That has simply been brought about because the trust is able to bring it about, through its monopoly. All this commercial cant does not for a moment deceive the people. They know that trusts are not formed for pur- poses of philanthropy. The trust apologists might as well save their breath. i Le i = ee In spite of the high tariff Canada is selling a great deal of lumber in the United States. The consumer pays the tax. _ oo CORFORAL PUNISHMENT. The Kansas City Board of Education has adopted a rule prohibiting any bodily punishment in the schoolroom, such as shoving, slapping or shaking. Hereafter punishment of this sort must be administered in private and be witnessed by a principal or two other teachers. This sensible iule is the result of the death of a little girl who fell into cunvulsions after a mild slapping by the teacher. Corporal punishment should be the last resort of a teacher who has triel all other means of correction and exhausted his patience beside. It is questionable whether in such cases the fault is not as much the teacher's as the pupil’s. Few children are incorri- gible. They are mischievous, but not malicious, and if an ap- peal is made to their better nature, they rarely fail to respond. It is the part of wisdom to elicit their best. If that were done, more patiently and systematically, it might not be necessary to suppress their worst, which would die for want of attention. ++4——__—_—__--- The leonids have created great terror among the ignorant people of Russia, and demented parents have murdered their children to save them from a burning world. Why isn’t it the manifest destiny of the United States and Great Britain to seize upon the territory of these benighted Russians and benevolently assimilate them upon the Philippine and Trafhs- vaal plan? — a a The captain and crew of the steamship Patria deserve the commendation of humanity. Their action while trying to save their burning vessel was in striking contrast to that of some eeamen recently. The sea would lose half its: terrors if all ships’ crews were as brave as the Patria’s men. oe The Brooklyn Eagle nominates L. B. Morris of Connecticut for the head of the Democratic presidential ticket, but unfor- tunately Mr. Morris has been dead for some time. If Eastern papers know go little of Eastern men, what can they be expected to know of men of the West? An accurate census of the population and industries of St. Louts at this time would show great figures, and they would be convenient ior comparison with our progress after a suc- cessful management of the World's Fair. 5 a i As Mrs. Aguinualdo’s wardrobe has been captured, the war must certainly come to a speedy conclusion. Our strategists should have thought of charging Mrs. A.’s apparel before un- dertaking anything else. ++ —-___—_—_——_- It is sad for Gage if he has to obey the Administration !fn its subserviency to Wall street and then defend the action as his own. The country is losing its respect for Cabinet officials. . Ooo VOST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. The leonid show was a fizzle, though all the actors were stars, Capturing Mrs, Aguinaldo’s clothes is getting mighty near to Agul. The most dangerous spot in modern war seems to be in an armored train. Neither Congressman Roberts nor the Sultan of Sulu pro- poses to resign. A poynter as to whom the Governor of Nebraska will make a Senator is wanted. Possibly Mr. Bull has become a little tender on the subject of his armored trains. Gatling’s automobile plow is not to be constructed from dis- carded Gatling guns, and we may fall short of a full supply of pruning hooks. Mrs. Aguinaido’s captured wardrobe was in 12 barrels in- stead of filling 12 trunks. But Mrs. A. can soon be American- ized and have trunks to smash. The British prisoners at the Boer capital will be able to get acquainted with the Pretorian Guards. They will also find that Kruger is “the noblest Roman of them all.’ There is a goose plant at the flower show, but no turkey plant. This is an injustice to the noble fowl which does so much annually for Thanksgiving and Christmas. An Ohio man who has been elected Land Appraiser makes oath that he bought only six half pints of whisky in his can- vass. Possibly the Hanna bar’l had distracted the attention of the voters. Five women have been rubbernecking together on the Dewey premises and have been requested to get off the front steps. They seem to have had no intention to Hobsonize the Ad.- miral.

It Is indeed a pathetic picture YWangwill draws of a mother whe ruins her child’s constitution by: prenatal fasts, and then, ascribing his blindness to the “Evil EPye,’’ makes a pil- grimage to Rome with him, to have the Pope remove the witchcraft. The blind son, who educated himself by extensive reading bofore he lost his sight, is shown in striking contrast to the fond but ignorant and superstitious mother. it has been charged that Zangwill is an enemy to his race, holding them up to ridi- cule for purposes of gain. The deep pathos in his stories, however, would rather lead one to infer that he believes the best way to remove the evils he depicts is to speak the truth regarding them. His stories are thrilling with sympathy. And the reader's sympathy is strongly stirred as the pictures of life pass vividly before him. (New York: The Macmillan Co.)

Possibly there has never been a more ac- commodating champion than Jeffries, ex- ceptirg John L. Sullivan. The latter was wiMng to fight all the ime, but the candl- dates for eclipse were too few. Jefirics has the «ame generous, broad-minded way of looking at matters. “You see,”’ said he, “vou might juet as well accommodate these people and have it out one time as an- other. It’s like making boilers. You don't finish up a plate and then. lay off three weeks, but you keep at it until the tea kettioc is finished, “I'd fight these chaps, but Brady, who fe the bose, says ‘No.’ ‘Walt,’ says he, ‘and wet into some kind of condition, Take arrest.

MILWAUKBE, Nov. 18.—President H. D. Quinn of the New American Association, in response to the charge made by the Nation- al League magnates that the clubs of his association were without financia) standing, publishes &@ card in this ty = SE papers nh which he says, among other th “Regarding the financial standing of the clubs of the new AmericanAssociation I wish ‘to state that three of the present associa- tion backers own their own grounds, viz.: Detroit, Philadelphia and Milwaukee. I learn that but two of the Nationa] League Clubs own their own grounds, viz.: Chicago and Philadelphia. Capt. Anson is backed by a syndicate with millions. St. Louis has an eight-years’ lease of their grounds, all equipped, and has the backing of the richest concern in that city. One of the De- troit stockholders, who owns the real as- tate for the grounds, emfploys mure hands in his factory than the number of players in the National and minor leagues put to- gether. Regarding my own town. Milwau- kee, Mr. Hanlon and the rest of the league crowd can !ook up Bradstreet’s or Dun's Mercantile Agencies and ascertain bow Ald. Charles Havenor ané myself are rated. “Regarding the expense of running a Na- tlonal League Club, I append John Me- Graw's (manager of the altimore Club) statement. As Mr. McGraw did not ask me to treat this as confidential I give it to the public as interesting news. ” eyeryone knows (that is baseball people) McGraw was left In Baltimore last spring with a lot of cast-offs of two clubs, Brooklyn and Baltimore, without one cent to carry the club along for the spring yractice. McGraw was obliged to draw 0) of ‘this own money from the Wank and took the team Soyth by boat, that being the cheapest mode of travel, and brought them back for the* opening game, about even on the trip. The way the Orioles en- tered the race and made such a splendid showing under Mac and Robinson is well known to all. McGraw informs me that he turned over to the Baltimore-Brooklyn syndicate just $15,000 on the season. He also informed me that the expenses for the entire season, ineluding salaries, transpor- tation, telegraph, etc... amounted to $40,000, and at that the team finished in fourth place. Mac says he would have been ‘higher up in the race but for the untimely death of his wife, which took him away from the team. Now there its not a team in the new association that cannot stand $40,000 for salaries and all expenses. know that the Milwaukee team can, and at 2-cent ball, too. The team I was in- terested in in 1891 and turned over to the Milwaukee Club afterwards cost over $40,000 for all expenses. The team con- sisted of such men as Clark Griffith, George Davies, Thornton, Vickery _ and Killen, pitchers; Schriver and Grim, catchers: Campton, Canavan, Shock, Al- berts, McAleer, Burke, Petit, Dalrymple and a substitute. ; a would also like to call Mr. Hanlon's attention to the fact that in all my ca- reer as a baseball man I never allowed a jlaver to leave the club without getting iis money in full. Can Mr. Hanlon say that much for the National League? The Cleveland players, owned by a syndicate, at the close of the season had four to six weeks pay due them and were paid in notes, in lieu of cash, and some of them are still carrying the notes. Under these circumstances it would be:wise for Mr. Hanlon to leave financial matters he knows nothing about alone.” A CREW OF OARSMEN. The Missouri University Talks of Hav- ing One Next Season. There is to be a boat crew at the Missouri University. Now, this hardly means a race with Wis- consin next year, still the embryo of a fu- ture crew is now in process of formation, and there is to be a regatia next Monday. The preliminaries were held last week, the races being entirely single scull events, and about 16 men qualified. The best time made for the mile was 10 minutes, which was not bad, considering that the sculls were, ca: didly, what is commonly known as or inary flat-bot:om rowboais. The regatta on Monday is to be he ld on the Perche, about seven miles from Colum- bia. where the Missouri Mialand Railway cragses the Perche. The course is about a mie and a quarter in length, and about 100 fect wide. Two handsome siiver cups afe offered as prizes. The idea of a crew has been m ade possible recently by the completion of the Missouri Mii lland Railway, -onnecting ¢ ‘olumpia with the M., K. & T., and, in ide ntaily, with the Perche and Missouri Rivers. The plan was originally proposed by an official of the Missourt Midland, and has met with the enthusiastic approval and Co- operation of the University authorities. , The location eelected for the races nex’ Monday would probably in the future be used only in practice, being but 15 minutes ride from Columbia. A little further down the course, however, about half a_ mile from McBain Station, the Perche forms with a bend tin the Missouri a magnificent laroon, which extends in a beautiful three- mile stretch of placid water, straight away to the Missouri River. This. it is thought, would make one of the ideal courses of the conrntry, being from a quarter to a half a mile in width, and so protected that the water is at all time s comparatively calm. Enthueiastic students and alumni are al- ready looking forward to the day when they will cheer on to victory a crew of old gold and black jerseys in their annual race with Wisconsin. The plan seems entirely practical, hav- ing. as it does, the hearty co-operation of both the university and railroad authorities. President Jesse is quite enthusiastic on the subject, ‘as aleo is ‘Mr. Ely, general man- ager of the Missourt Midland, who, with Prof. Shaw of the Electrical School, has charge of the regatta next Monday. Mr. Ely intimates the possibility of a gift of a four-oared shell from the Missouri Midland next spring, if sufficient interest is shown. and it ts also eaid there will be a like gift from other parties who have shown an interest In the matter.

Careful Estimate Made of Exports and Imports for Ten Months of the Present Year. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18—The foreign commerce of the United States for the closing year of the 19th century will reach $2,000,000,000. This will be the highest figure yet reached in the country’s history. The figures of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics show the total exports for the 10 months ending with October, 1899, to be $1,029, 242,000 . Last year they were $987,879,- 000 for a corresponding period. An examination of the detailed figures of the nine months of the year already acces- sible shows that the exports of manufac- tures In that period were $50,000,000 in ex- cess of those of the correspondi months of the preceding year, and $65,000, reater than those of the same months of 1 while the products of the mine were $4,000,000 Sreater than those of the corresponding months of last year, and those of the forest $6,000,000 in excess of the corresponding months of the preceding year. Imports have increased more than ex- ports, for they were unusually low in 1898, while exports were unusually high in that year. The total importation ae —— 10 months ending with October, 1899, 375,000, against $527,734,000 in the we Rt ing months of last year. This large in- crease in importations is chiefly in supplies for the manufacturers, whose increased ex- ports are already noted, and in foodstuffs which cannot be produced at home. The increase in importations of material] for use of manufacturcrs, including crude and par- tially manufactured, was in the nine months ending with September $50,000,000, a sum just equaling the increase in exportations of manufactures during that time. -In food- stuffs, the increase in importations during the nine months was, in round terms, $88,- 000,000. of which nearly $30,000,000 was in sugar, the increase in tmportations of manu- factures ready for consumption being $%8,- 000,000, and articles of voluntary use, lux- uries, etc., $15, 000. POT OF GOLD UNDER CHIMNEY |: St. Louis County Farmer Stumbled Across a Treasure of Nine Hun- dred Shining Dollars. Many a man has looked for a pot of gold at the rainbow’s end, and found it not. But one man who didn’t look for it under his own chimney has stumbled on one, and it has $900 in it, too. Henry D. Murren of Luxemburg, _8t. Louls County, is the man who is $900 rich- er now than he was Friday morning. He was puttering about his place, when he stumbled on an old iron pot, just at the foot of his ch:mney. He dug it up, and his eyes stuck out like China marbles when he saw what he had found. He eounted his treasure, and his eyes were as big as basebails. Then he iold of his good for- tune and all the neighborhood env.ed him- and started to examine chimneys for more. No one has any idea who put the money in this strange place. By the condition of the receptacle In which the money was found, Mr. Murren judges that it has lain there many years, probably since before the Civil war. The house has been stand- ing as long as the oldest person in that neighborhood can remember. ‘Many farm- ers lean to the theory that the mon?y was hidden by Frank Nichols, an extensive cat- tle trader, who owned and occupied the house shortly after the Civil war. Nichols was known to have been in possession of large sums of money at times, and is re- called as a very eccentric person. He was killed in an accident while on a trip through the West buying cattle. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for Children teething rests the child and comforts th? mother. 25. EXPERIMENTAL MEASURE. Public Improvements Bill Killed by the City Council. The City Council Friday night rejected & bill providing for the filtering of the city's water supply. The bifl defeated was drafted by the Waterworks Committee of the Board of Public Improvements and was ap- proved by the board Friday morning, The bill authorized the employment by the Water Commissioner of a consulting en- gineer and a bacteriologist at a salary of a») a day each, the engineer to receive not more than $4500 in any year, and the bac- terio.ogist not more than $200. The total expenditure for experimental work was to be not more than $75,000. ane he rejection of the bill was moved by Mr. ‘arroll, who said it. was the worst measure ever introduced in the Council. He be- lieved the expenditure of $75,000 would be extravagant and that the experimental work could be done for $000.

Consequently, there was ho great degree of interest manifested in the first hours. The local receipts, though pitiably emall, are much improved since yesteriay. while on the other hand, the receipts in the Northwest grain centers show a little falling off. The course of the market now seems in a measure to be decided upon; the downward trend ts now changed to an upward gne apd while still there ar: seasons in which the bears will gain control of the market, they are of short duration and usu ally succeeded by advanced prices, which elther carry the market back to its old figures or to high eT new ones The general character of tbe ket is either bearish of bullish at the opening, pending on the nature of the foreign cables, then bullish to a little before the close of session, when the bolders of pute will try to force lower prices; at the same time the call side of the narket will strongly oppose, making this last pe- tiod the most intergsting of the day.

Moody, the distinguished evangelist, who:'was compelled to cut short @ series of meetings at Kansas City on ac- count of an attack of heart trouble Fri- day, passed through St. Louls Saturday on hie way to his home in Northfield, Mass., where he has planned a rest of several days. He arrived at Union Station over the Missouri! Pacific Railroad and left over the Wabash. The trip from Kansas City was made in a special car, provided by the committee of churchmen under whose direc- tion he was holding his meetings there. But upon his arrival In this city he dis- pensed with the private car and continued WIL BE OPEN SUNDA FLOWER SHOW TO CONTINUE AW ADDITIONAL DAY. SOME BEAUTIFUL VIOLETS. Exhibits More Attractive Than Ever and the Coliseum Fairly Well Filled With Visitors. The Flower Show at the Coliseum will be continued over Sunday, and the price of ad- mission will be cut in two. The attendance throughout the week has been large and so many requests have been received asking that the show extend over Sunday that the managers have decided to comply. Friday night drew out the banner crowd of the week. The exhibits were a little more attractive than wsual and the scenes created by men and women in evening toi- lets passing, through the flower walled aisles were brilliant. Many of those who attended ‘Il Trovatore’” at ‘Music Hall crossed over to the Coliseum between the acts and viewed the beauties. Society lavished more attention Friday night over the great bunches of sweet scented violets than it did over the more ywretentious blossoms, One big table was iterally covered with these delightful flow- ers. Prizes were captured by Osterteg Bros. of this city and Mrs. M. 8S. Vesey of Fort Wayne, Ind. Farquar was the violet shown by the O«- tertags. This is a new variety ard is wor- thy of attention. Itis a double violet, not very large, and much lighter in color than the common varieties. It is scented, but the fragrance is delicate and not as last- ing as the California varieties. Mrs. Vesey showed one of the latter va- rieties. This is a large single violet, of a ———— DWIGHT L. MOODY. ‘advanced toward —----— his journey in a parlor compartment. Traveling with Mr. Moody were Dr. R. M. Schauffler, the physician who attended him from the time he began to show signs of illness during his Kansas City engage- ment, and C. M. Vining, who is acting as his private secretary. Mr. Vining is re- ceiving teller of the Union National Bank of Kansas City, and only consented to leave his post on account of a personal friend- hip that exists between him and Mr. oody. Both gentlemen will accompany Mr. Mooay to his home in Northfield, which will be reached either Sunday night or Terminal Hotel dinin fast was served to them. Mr. Moody ate heartily of beefsteak and toast. He chatted freely with hie friends and even pessed jokes as the meal progressed. The only sign of iliness he showed was a slight pallor over his face. He looked like a man overworked and in need of rest, but ther Was no indication of serious suffering. I one were not informed of his sickness his appearance would not betray it. He looks as strong and healthy as he did when he held his meeting in this city three years oO. “While eitting at the breakfast table, just after completing his meal, Mr. Moody dis- cussed his sickness with the Post-Dispatch. “Do I look ‘ike a very sick man?” he asked in reply to a question if the reports f the condition of his health were true. en he laugied, and there was a hearty cone. about Sis voice that indicated he really enjoyed hie joke, “No,”’ he continued, “I am not suffering @s much as the dispatches from Kansas City indicate.

Sister Mary Frances, before she became a Carmelite sister, was Miss Mary Loretta Gorman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Gorman of Baden, and was one of a fam- ily of 10 children. One sister survives her and eight brothers, all of them residing in the city. One of her brothers, E. 8. Gorman, is studying for the priesthood in Kenrick Seminary.

Policeman Found Her Unconscious on the Pavement Near the Dance Hall —But Nettie Will Recover. Nettie Gastrof is again at the City Hos- pital as the result of an attempt to take her life. Nettie has taken poison four times. Fri- day night ehe took a dose of laudanum on the street. Nettie is a young woman of in- telligence, address and some education. She lives at 4011 North Twenty-third street and was until recently employed by the Excelsior Electric Company. Until four months ago she was apparently a happy, light-hearted girl. She says a man wrought ‘the change in her nature, and made her seek solace in death. She says there was a special reason why she wanted to retain this man’s affection, and when she found he had cast her aside she had nothing more to live for. There was a party at a hall near Four- teenth and Howard streets Friday night. A merry crowd was there and the hours sped quickly. The music of a waltz floated from the windows of the hall as a young woman ascended the stairs. Unobserved, Save by a few who stood in the corridors, She stole up to the door of the hal] and looked at the dancers within. The light was dazzling and she shaded her eyes with her hand to get a better view. Suddenly she gave a half-stiflied cry and darted down the steps. The young men and women in the hall knew something was wrong and advised Patrotman Donohue to follow the girl. When the officer reached the street the girl was walking hurriedly to the west and keeping in the shadow of the wall. Donohue folléwed. The _ girl passed the next corner and darted behind a tree box. The policeman waited a few : she said. are about 76 delegates present, minutes for the girl to emerge and then the tree box. He found the girl lying on the pavemegpt unconscious. Ky her side -lay an empty/bottle. By the an saw that it light of a match the polic was labeled ‘‘Laudanum.” The girl was removed to the Dispensary ind from there to the City Hospital. It was at first thought her condition was extreme- ly serious, but Saturday morning her chance for recovery was considered good. “I took a dime’s worth of laudanum,” “I am sorry I did not take more, but if I get well I will never take poison forany man. This man, who lI learned was with another girl, owed me everything. He promised to marry me but he played me false. He works in a wholesale house and lives in North St. Louis.” HOSPITAL COLLECTION DAY. Meeting of the Ladies Called for Next Friday Afternoon.

BELIEVES IN SAVING SOULS, NOT LOSING THEM. Recent Instances of Society Weddings —One of Them Where Father O’Reilly Ignored Synod Rules. ee The wedding of Mr. Gerald B. O'’Refliy, & prominent young reat estate man, to Miss Stella Rellly, which took place in the New Cathedral Chapel at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, marked a departure from a rule @stadDdlished by the Diocesan Synod three years azo. It was sought to discourage aftermoon Marriages by prohibiting music or decora- tions of any kind at the ceremony. Arch- Bishop Kain presided at that meeting and the order promulgated was presumed to Meet with the approval of every pastor in the diocese. The clergy held that marriages solemnized Part from the mass, which is always cele- rated in the morning, are not in strict ccordance with the tenets of the Catho- © faith, When desired, however, ‘t was G@ecreed that only two camdles should be lighted at the altar. At the O'Rellly-Reilly nuptials the altar Was ablaze with illuminations. The chureh Was gorgeously decorated and the strains of bridal music were heard. After the ceremony was performed the “Lohengrin” and ‘‘Mendiessohn marches Were played. The wedding was pronounced one of ihe most elaborate and beaut ful that has occurred in St. Louis for some time. The Rey. Father Patrick F. O'Reilly, who ts Sn uncle of the groom, officiated.

Discussing the wedding of nephew he said: “They came to me and said they dcestred the ceremony should be as nicely arranged wished music to enliven. As thie is the Bishop's church I may, ih a measure, be clothed with more powers than the average pastor, but I did not feel vetifed in this case in acting. According.y his Kain, notifying him of my intentions. Most assuredly Il recommended action tn accord- ance with the young folks’ wishes.”’ “In so doing, was not @ precedent estab- lished?’ Father OReilly was asked. “No, I think not,” he replied. “The synod rules still hol?, but perhaps they will be waived where circumstances justify.”’ “Are not all the Catholics entitled to the same privilege?’ “They are; the Catholic Church makes nq distinction between its communicants.” ‘Would you mind stating the reasons that prompted your variance from the say- nod rule in the present case?’’ “Please don’t misunderstand me. I dele- gated no authority to myself, but I am right in assuming that the necessary per- mission was granted because I had urged it. ‘Society takes ite tone from the muilti- tude. A couple come to me and say: “Father O'Reilly, we want to be married, and as we don’t care to have the recep- tion extend through the entire day, why, we want to have the ceremony performed in the afternoon.’ You don’t suppose I am going to cause any heart-breakings there by a refusal of the request, if it lies in my power to grant it? Not for the world. I would as soon try to make the ocean fit into a sea shell as try to change the cus- toms of society. “We are confronted with a condition, not a theory. If our surroundings were purtly Catholic it woufd be different. We must frame our rules in harmony with the peo- ple. Of course the dogmas of faith must ain unaltered."’ "Frather O'Reilly then referred to a couple marrying in defiance of their parents wishes and going to (layton and other Gretna Greens to secure the legal certi- ficate. “Elopements could be avoless om Snany ~ases if the young people wou only use 6 ‘he said. “No priest their common sense,’ wants to see his communicants aes s from the church.

Oe pear in mind,” Father O'Reilly replied, “there are exceptions to, all {rules and a pastor is sometimes permitted to vary from them at his discretion. Our mission is to save souls, not to drive themi out of the church.” “How about marriages between Protest- ants and Catholics?” “Well there is where IT am always dis- posed to be liberal. I recollect but a short time ago I was called from the confes- sional by a couple who desired to be united without delay. The young man was a non- Catholia while his intended was a mem- ber of this congregation. I told them of the dispensation that was required and they went to the chancellor's office with a letter written by me. That letter Was an application on which I could have mar- ried them had net the chancellor been found at home. As it was they were made one inside of an hour after the original request was made of me. Why did I s0 act? fecause I felt that if I cautioned them to wait they would have a civil con- tract performed, Scandal is a vad thing and we should anticipate the injury it may cause and avoid it.” “Do you think the rule pertaining to the marriages of Protestants and Catholics at the priest's house instead of at the home of one of the contracting parties should be abrogated?’ “I will answer that by telling you a4 story. A schoolteacher once asked the clown of the class for his judgment on an event tliat might happen in the future. ‘T’ll answer you when the case comes up,’ the clown replied. That’s where I will stand on this question. jut this I will eay, if I had to act on the spur of the moment, I would let them be married wherever they wanted to. I contend that religion is benefited by such a course, “Not long ago I learned that the angelus bell which rings at noon interrupted the sermon of the Rev. Mr. King, who preaches across the way in the Episcopal Church. I was informed that he had to stop speak- ing while the bells tolled. Immediately I stopped the ringing of the bells and have ordered that the custom be permanently discontinued. The gong which its sounded on the altar at the hour I deemed would suffice.”’ “Is the marriage of a Protestant to a Catholic by a minister or a Justice of the Peace valid?’ “It is, provided the’ non-Catholic person is baptized... If such be the case, then a priest cannot remarry them. If both partles are Catholics th@n they must be remarried by a clergyman.of their own faith, since then a question of jurisdiction aritees.. The Council of Trent requires that. they must be married in the parish of either one of the contracting parties. When a Catholic is married to a non-baptized Protestant a new ceremony must be performed and the fact of ne being non-baptized changes the validity of the ceremony. It is, in other words, an impediment which existed before the marriage. “There is punishment necessarily meted out to the Catholic when he fe married by other than a priest, but this feature is a secret. and no one outside of the offender knows what it is. There is no public hu- miliation; at least, so far as I am con- cerned,”’ Father O'Reilly is about @ years old and is accounted one of most learned and popudar priests of the dlocese.

HE TALKS MODERN DRAMA. Believes That There Should Be a Bet- ter Understanding Between the Church and Stage. Dr Leon Harrison, rabbi of Temple Israel, has been invited to become a chaplain of the Actors’ Church Alliance, and has announced his intention of accepting. He will perform the duties of his position in conjunction with Dr. W. W. Boyd, who was also nominated as a chaplain of the alliance a few weeks ago. ° In discussing hig appointment, S0n declared that he accepted it with a feeling of genuine sympathy. He pro- nounced the stage a good teacher between which and the church he thought there should be a better understanding. He said: The pulpit to-day is a giant and a dwarf. Consider how many influences are its confederates, multiplying its power in- finitely. yet shrinking its special sphere and needfulness into most contracted dimen- sions. The ipulpit thus is greater than it knows and weaker than it thinks. The press, the eyes, ears and mouth of the people, trumpet forth its crude morality. Patriotism teaches unselfishness and largeness of view. Fiction is revealing to re mpiciede & newer world than Colum- us divined.

Welcome’ then, to our army of mer- rymakers and sorcerers of emotion. If we must have them, let us not froth at the mouth in denunciation and beat the air, but consider soberly what they were, are, ought to be and can be. he soured clergy, who condescend to employ stage thunder and lightning to storm against this nobie profession forget apparently that both the birth and revival of the drama were distinctly and entirely religious. The Greeks danced around the sacrificial @woat-of Bacchus. Hence these modern names. Greek drama was origi- nally an act of worship. It developed there- — to a mora! sublimity, a poetic splen- or, The Romans imported the Greek drama, likewise making it a feature of religious ceremonial. On the right side of the stage stood the god Bacchus, on the left the spe- cial deity of the festival. The Romans, a sensual people, consecrated their pleasures and dubbed them holv.

The church indeed triunrphed, but in.time. like all victors, fed its omnivorous appetite with the spoils of conquest. Centuries passed, The dark ages moved on in a pFro- cession of dead.and wasted years. Again the theater revived, again it was nursed at the ample breast of the church, again it was founded upon religion. At the mass illus- trations were introduced of the scenes of scriptural readings. At the great chruch festivals, graphic pictures of the shepherds, the nativity and the resurrection were shown to the people. The laity welcomed and encouraged the diversion. Three scaf- foldings represented heaven, earth and hell. God appeared on the stage, Inter the dev- ii and his imps to banter, jests and ex- change coarse jokes.

How poor we would be without Shakspeare’s microscopic. and scopic eyes! This planet is his pedestal, : humanity his audience. He was not barren of intellectual prageny.

Sich is the three-fold mission of the stage —in revealing, teaching and uplifting. From author to actor, from actor to audience and back again, the magic circle of continuous influence is unbroken. All are responsible for its joint failures and successes, and all must join hands in common effort for its amelioration. And then, clerical colleagues, let me plead for reasonableness of judg- ment in behalf of the play. Must men cease living because life is full of tempta- tions? Must every theater be tabooed be- cause some are bad? Wil not your staid congregations, if counted upon as business possibilities by sagacious managers, affect the character of vublic productions that must be populer to even live? Cease to vituperate and you will soon have no cause for vituperation. Persuade men to seek the best. and the worst will not be a plague spot.

Cornish tasted the dregs in the glass and was prostrated. Dr. Edward F. Hitchcock dregs and was made ill. The contents of the bottle sent to Cornish were analyzed and found to contain cyanide of potassium. The contents of the bottle sent to Bar- net were analyzed by Prof. R. A. ‘Witthaus and were found to contain cyanide of mer- cury. The question arose: “Who sent these polsons?”’ And then came the further ques- tion: “Wha? In looking about for the supposed mur- derer and his motive the police learned of the relations which had existed between Molineux, Cornish, Barnett and Miss Chese- brough, and of the violent quarrel between Molineux and Cornish. Molineux’s name was repeatedly mentioned in connection with the deaths of Barnet and Mrs.. Adams but no tangible evidence could be found and he was not molested. On Jan. 2, 1899, Roland B. Molineux called on Capt. McClusky, Chief of Detectives, and offered himself for arrest. He was then told that he was not wanted. Subsequently he was arrested, charged with the murder of Mrs. Adams, Molineux testified before Coroner Hart at the inquest, on February 10, 1899, and the Coroner's jury he'd him on the charge of murder. He was indicted by the Grand Jury on March 1, but on April 12 the in- dictment was dismissed as insufficient. The May Grand Jury refused to indict Molineux, but the June Grand Jury indicted him for the murder of Mrs. Adams. All during this time there was talk of a man who had rented a box at a place on Broadway where he could receive his pri- vate mall. This man gave him name ae H. Cornish. This man has been identified as Roland B. Molineux. The identification was made by Joseph Koch, manager of the Commercial Adver- tising Agency at 1620 Broadway, above Forty-ninth street. Last Saturday he made a lengthy affidavit before the Commissioner of Deeds, in the course of which he said: During the week ending Dec. 17, 1898, and, as near as I can fix it, on or about Dec. 14, a young man came into the agency and inquired if he could arrange to receive his mail there. © °* * I #tood facing him, within about three feet of him, during our conversation, I saw him distinctly. * * ®@ In reply to my questions he eaid he did not wieh to advertise, but only to receive a small amount of mail, lie said he was not then prepared to make final arrangements about the mati; that he was inquiring for a friend who desired the information. Then he departed. On Dee. 21, 1808, a man hastily entered the agency and inquired if he could arrange to receive his mall at our address. The ar- rangement was made and he paid two months in advance. We aasigned box 10 to his mall. Ile gave hie name as H. Cornish. On Dec. 23 or 24 there came a sample box of Kutnow powder In an envelope addressed to Hi. Cornish. A few days later there came A email box addressed to H. Cornish, which, the pelice subsequently told me, contained Calthos These pleces- of mall, with a letter from Cincinnati, were inad- vertentiy put info box 8, and so were never “Hl. Cornish.”’ I attended the Inquest in the case of Mrs. Adame. There I saw Roland B. Molineux for the first time and recognized him as the man who called at my place on or about Dec. 14. 1898 Sometime about the last week in January. ike, L. called on Capt. McClusky. Chief of Detectives, and gave him a deaecription of the man who first entered my piace. At that time I had not seen Molineux and Capt. MeClusky did not recognize the deecrip- tion. Some time during the past eummer, In August, I think, I met Molineux’s counsel, Bartow 8.

Koch are extremely important, for the rea- son that they serve to connect Roland B. Molineux directly with the letters which were sent out to patent medicine concerns prior to the poisonings, under the names of Molineux, Barnet and Cornish. These letters are virtually all that there is against Molineux in the way of positive evidence. There are nine of these letters, as follows: 1. C. Barnet, box 217, No. addressed to 2. A leiter dasel H. C. Barnet, box 217, No. 257 treet, addressed t : an Mich. Mailed ‘est Forty-second street, Jacques, No. 20 West Sixty-fifth etreet. It Was received by Dr. Jacques on May 30, 1808.

M. er; sent in Jan- vary, 1898. Latter destroyed. A letter signed Roland Molinenx, No. 6 Jersey street, Newark, J., addressed to Dr. James Burns, No. 350 Columbus avenue, New York City. Envelope mailed June 1, 1898. The correspondence carried on by the real Molineux under his own name and by the bogus Barnet and by the bogus Cornish, was all of the same kind--requests for samples of proprietary drugs. The poison was afterward sent in a bottle of this kind mixed with harmless drugs. For example, there came to box 10, No. 1620 Broadway, addressed to H. Cornish, the following articies: 1. A sample bottle of Kutnow’'s powder. 2. A sample bottle of calthos capsules. 8. A letter from a drug firm, P. O. box 684 Cincinnati, O. These were put by mistake into box No. 9 and were founé by Koch after the death of Mrs. Adams and delivered to the police. It is said the contents of the sample bottle of Kutnow’s powder were analyzed and found to contain cyanide of mercury, but th's has never been admitted by the poiice. The following important facts have been established by the prosecution: Eight handwriting experts have agreed that all of the letters preserved were written by Roland B. Molineux. Edmund Barnet, brother of the late H. C. Barnet swears the handwriting of the Barnet letters was not that of H. C. Barnet. The “H Cornish” letters were not written by the real Harry 8S. Cornish. The question put before the police and the District Attorney for solution was the motive for tho letters and their relation to the poisoning of Mrs. Adams and Bar- net. With the exception of the solitary missive from Molineux, from Newark, to which he affixed his own name, the letters were all sent elther from No. 1620 Broadway or from No. 2%7 West Forty-second street. Both places were private letter-box concerns patronized by persons who from various reasons did not wish their mail delivered at their homes or regular business ad- dresses, The manager of No. 237 West Forty-sec- ond street was Nicholas A. Heckman. The manager of 1620 Broadway was Joseph Koch, Both places were in the reighborhood of the New York and Knickerbocker Athletic Clubs, of which Molineux, Cornish and Bar- net were members. Heckman has testified that he rented a lecter-box on ‘May 27, 1898, to a man calling himself H. C. Barnet. He positively identified Molineux as the person who rented the Barnet box. An attempt was made to discredit Heck- man’s evidence in advance of the trial by accusing him of having been indicted for political bribery here in 1884. He was dfs- missed from the postal service at that time, it is alleged, ”“because he absented himself without leave to electioneer. Heckman swears the real Barnet bore no resemblance to the man that rented the box. He does this on the strength of pho- tographs and accurate descriptions of the real Barnet. Mr. Koch swears that the man who rented a box at his place under the name of H. Cornish ig not the Harry 8. Cornish shown to him by the police. Sage is easy to speculate concerning these mafters, the fact remains that no evidence except that of Koch has been disclosed which tends to connect Molineux directly-with the renting of the boxes. The missing link is Koch's identification of Molineux as the man who inquired about renting a box a week before the bogus H. Cornish appeared and rented the box Molineux, according to Koch, said he was acting for a friend who wished to rent a private mail box. Net came the false Cornish, supposedly ‘“‘the friend,” and rented the box. In this view of the case he was the accomplice of Molineux. The letter sent to Dr. Burns of New York from No. 6 Jersey street, Newark, N. J., where Molineux was employed, June 1, 1898, signed “‘Roland Molineux,” was written on a sheet of paper stamped with a crest of three silver crescents in- tertwined. The letter sent by Molineux to Dr, Les- ser bore the crescents. One of the letters signed Barnet bore this same crest of the intertwined silver crescents. The police regard th's as strong circum- stantial evidence against Molineux. The same kind of paper was used by Mamie Meland, a giri who was employed under Molineux in the Rayolds color factory, at Bayonne. There also came to “H. Cornish,” No. 1620 Broadway, a letter, on the enve- lope of which was stamped the business card of Stearns & Co., Detroit, Mich. This letter was probably delivered to “H, Cor- nish’ or his representative, for it van- ished. But when it was received Koch took a note of the card on the envelope. Subsequently he notified the police, who communicated with Stearns & Co., and from them learned that they had written to “H. Cornish” in answer to a letter from him. Stearns & at Co. forwarded to the New York police the letter which they had received from “‘H. Cornish.” It was in the characteristic handwriting of all of the bogus Cornish and Barnet letters. The writer applied to Stearns & Co. for in- formation about Alvin A. Harpster, saying: 12-29-84. Gentlemen: Mr. A a eae has appifed to me for a situation as collector.

When Harpster was shown the letter of “Cornish” to Stearns & Co., he said it was in the handwriting of Felix J. Gallagher of Brooklyn, a clerk at the Knickerbocker Athletic Club. This was denied by Galla- gher. The police showed Gallagher to Heck- man and Koch, and neither identified him as any person who had ever rented letter compared the handwriting of the Harpster letter with that of Gallagher and said there was no resemblance. The police then said GaNagher was eliminated from the case. Nor was Harpster connected with the case by the police. It was alleged he had told a friend that any mail for him (Harpster) might be addressed to No. 160 Broadway, but Harpster denied this. The connection between the private letter boxes with their bogus letter writers and the packages of pojson which were actually sent to Cornish and Barnett is, according to the police and the District Attorney, as follows: First—The handwriting experts have stated, eight of them, that the handwrit- ing on the package eent to Cornish and on the letters sent from Koch's and Heck- ran’s agencies was all by one and the same person, and that that person was Roland B. Molineux, The poison package sent to Cornish was The point about it is that it was sample package. It was cyanide of potassium packed in the top of a bottle of bromo seltzer. Second—Barnet was polsonef by cyanide of mercury packed in the top of a sample package of Kutnow powder. The wrap- per on this package was destroyed before suspicion was aroused. Third—Molineux, under his own name, wrote for a sample package of a proprie- tary medicine. The letter was mailed from the color factory of Morris Herrman & Co., 6 Jersey street, Newark, where Molineux was employed as superintendent. He also communicated with Dr. Steger and Dr. A. M. Lesser about drugs. Fourth—The only known use to which the bogus Barnet put his letter box at Heck- man's was requests for sample medical packages. All of the business known to have been transacted by the false Cornish through Koch's agency, with the exception of the Harpster letter, related to sample medical packages. Both boxes were hired nder false names, thus showing a nefarious scheme or purpose. ~ GONSUMPTION CURED.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Nov. 18.—One of the strangest and most pathetic appeals ever made to the police department of this city was received in a circular given be- low. The story is told in the following dispatch from Larwill, Ind., which appeared Oct. 15: John Helfrich of Larwill, Wabash Coun- ty, was stabbed by bis son to-day, and now les at the point of death as the result of his injuries.

’ eS Same >a — ee A SOCIAL PUZZLE, There is a big social question before Washington society. It is: Where does Dewey come in? It seems that a member of the Admiral’'s staff called upon Col. Bingham, Commissioner of Public Buildings, who is the social manager of the carital, and pointed out to him that Admiral Dewey, being lead of the navy, and there being no General of the Army, ranked next to the President. Col. Bingham wasn't sure, and referred the matter to the State Department, where it was held that Dewey didn’t rank next the President, that he was even below the Secretary of the Navy, and it is even claimed that there are forty men in Washington who outrank the Admiral. This is dreadful. To what end did Dewey destroy the Spanish fleet, if his wife must follow a lot of miscellaneous ladies to dinner? Even Mrs. Speaker, it is said, will precede Mrs. Dewey. It is an important question, and we hope it will be settled Speedily to every lady's sectisfaction. Meanwhile, the Ad- miral will have to be content with the knowledge that, in the hearts of his countrymen, he ranks second to none. That's Something, isn't it? The first Pullman car, ancient and battered, is still to be geen in St. Louis. It tis interesting as a reminder that, with all the growth of the sleeping-car interests, the prices of slumber have not declined. ae WOMEN LESS CRIMINAL THAN MEN. In the November Humanitarian, Prof. Mantegazza gives Statistics, taken from prison and other records, showing that women are less addicted to crime than men are. Summing up, the Professor says that, for the whole of Eu- rope, the crimes of women are one-fifth those of men. This contradicts the assertions of some recent sociological Writers who, because women are more emotional than men, have assumed that the weaker sex is more susceptible to crim- inal influences. : Prof. Mantegazza's conclusions are partly accounted for by the fact that many crimes are not of an emotional origin, but due to economic conditions. There are statutory crimes and misdemeanors that the breadwinner of a family is tempt- ed to commit,.but which women, in their usual sphere, would not find alluring. Allowing for this, however, the fact seems to be that woman is more law-abiding than man. This being so, it be- hooves her to do her utmost to bring about such condi- tions that her male partner in the life struggle shall become her equal in the scale of right living. The future is largely with woman in this, as in all the concerns of society. +e Mr. MeKinley’s Attorney-General’s brother-in-law. who has been stealing several thousand dollars’ worth of revenue stamps, is likely to be acquitted because it ta held the mark put upon the stamps to detect them canceled them, though it was 60 small that it could not be seen with the naked eye. There are many holes for thieves to crawl] through, and this je one of the smallest. = = - ee S THE SOLDIER AND THE WAR. Prof. Woodrow Wilson, who never says anything that {is not worth hearing, observes that, “whether or not we need men to fight, we need men with soldierly qualities.’ But if Mr. Wileon were asked to define his adjective, it would probably turn out that by “soldierly’ he meang sim- ply. manly. Courage, devotion to duty, discipline and seif- sacrifice are the characteristics of the best manhood, and what elee is necded on the battlefield? ‘These qualities are so manly that men possessing them should not be made soldiers save upon compelling occasion. The world needs them in the works of peace. og _The notion that the soldier's is the most honorable calling, was the prin- do * ai ge Wee ae te Pc from the time when fig We of this later . > j Bet Sa 8 e ee Ie > 7 v' ° a a eh lies ae ea a Fe Me gs pe ee EE ee ee te Sie Tae 6 " s Oe 4 : = : : : Pao A + ss a aa aE a baw ay ee ee own to ur oe ai duty of a gentieman. ily or ae et 4 ee A x a tas 4 4 : ak Wa Rs - | this view and have got rid of many of the delusions and iI- lusions connected with it. But we are still prone to doubt Milton’s noble faith that “peace hath its victories no less renowned than war,"’’and honor the soldier beyond his deserts a5 & man, as if he were something other and better than man. This is a survival which it were well to discard as a hindrance to progress and enlightenment. - == “ i Citizens of St. Louis will be gratified at the outcome of the poolroom keepers’ attempt to quash the proceedings against them. Now that Judge Clark has declared the breed- ers’ law binding, by refusing the motion brought by the pool- room men, the police should find no difficulty in keeping the rooms closed. St. Louis is not to be a “wide open” téwn. The gamblers have received a blow from which it is to be hoped they will not recover. - = Ss i a! FOR THE WORLD'S FAIR. The most important step in the World’s Fair movement since the cessation of active soliciting last summer was the resolution of the to proceed at once to work under the plan of reorganization. That resolution meang business. It means the raising of the World's Fair fund in the shortest possible time. It means the organization of the World’s Fair as a business corporation before the close of the year. No other conclusion can be drawn from the determination of the men who form the: working committees of the World’s Fair to go to work to complete the stock subscriptions, backed by an overwhelming public sentiment in favor of the project. No other conclusion is possible for the people of St. Louis. .~St. Louis is piedged to the World's Fair, and St. Louisans inust see that the pledge is redeemed without further delay. In the symposium of expressions from the leading citizeng of St. Louis—presidents of banks and trust mer- chants, capitalists, professional men and labor leaders—pub- lished by the Post-Dispatch, there was but one opinion; that all variances of view must be merged in a harmonious, com- bined, effective effort to assure the highest success of the great exposition. It was agreed by these men that St. Louis must press forward, that the highest success could only be assured through the co-operation of all citizens and all inter- ests, and that civic patriotism laid an imperative obligation upon every St. Louisan to contribute his full share of money and labor to the great project which is the common interest rr finance committee companies, of all. Now is the time to act with vigor upon these lines. It is no more the duty of the members of the committees to labor for the World’s Fair than of any citizen. The committeemen are volunteers. Volunteering is open to every citizen. The least the non-workers can do is to meet the workers half way and lighten their labors. Every St. Louisan who can sub- scribe should subscribe without solicitation. Let the honor and reputation of St. Louis be maintained by prompt sub- scriptions to the full amount. The World’s Fair must be incorporated Jan. 1, 1900, That Let us work together to achieve it. — a a It is said that the Government pays more and receives less from its employes of both sexes than any other employer on earth. Yet there are frequent reports of trouble that Government employes get into from borrowing money. Why should not all governments be managed on business princi- ples? Extravagance, at least, should never be encouraged at the expense of the taxpayers. >> — a is the goal. Chief Enginee- Wilson says that Congress cannot give too much attention to the task of improving the Mississippi, and he points to the fact that our great river drains 40 per cent of the whole area of the United States. We need an improved Mississippi! much more than. we need battleships that cost $5,000,000 each. A St. Louis paper advocates paying policemen to prevent them from becoming burglars. The trouble is, the city treasury is not strong enough to keep all burglars on the pay roll.—Spring- field Republican. No. So many burglars would crowd out the “F. Muellers.”’ Managing Director Gates admits that foreigners are getting American goods cheaper than Americans can buy them. Mr. Gates has great faith in high tariffs and in the credulity of people who imagine that prosperity is the result of a large taxation of American consumers. = “= i a 4 What St. Louis asks of the Government she may not get.

ON OLIVE STREET. No matter what the weather is Or how the sky appears. I hear jhe same old whirr and whizz I the ra in other years, And everywhere I turn I meet The wind that blows on Olive street. Around the corners, fast or slow. According to its whim, I hear it sigh or feel it blow And o’er the granite skim, And lift pedestrians from their feet, This wind that howls on Olive street. How soft it is, when so inclined! How fierce, when so it will, This careless, wanton, wayward wind, Which never vet was still! With stinging cold or Diinding heat, It never strays from Olive street. I wonder if, in all the world, There is another wind By which so many skirts are whirled And locks blown out behind! Can any wind for daring beat The one that bvlows on Olive street? Should I be dead a thousand years, And then to ®arth return, And entertain *he hopes and fears With which * used to burn, I'd recoguize j*. if I'd meet The wind tha’ blows on Olive street. J.

It is worthy of note that the police are not ‘suppressing’ the professional beggar, as claimed. This week there have been at least three big, husky guys in our place of business, and the same is on a promi- nent street, too. The mendicants are gen- erally armed with a printed communication —an engraved card or typewritten circular. They also probably have a gun or billy con- cealed about, although their extreme ur- banity would prevent their use until after nightfall. When requested to migrate they become insolent. A BOOKKLEEPDR. St. Louis. _ Reagan on Ticket Scalping. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Ex-Senator Reagan of Texas is reported as having made an argument before the subcommittee on transportation of the Na- tional Industrial Commission at Chicago in favor of legalized pooling and urging im- prisonment to break up ticket scalping. he old gentleman probably would spurn the idea that he is self-contradictory. He deplores the possibility of popular liberty being destroyed by the Government taking possession of the railroads and operating them for public benefit, but he sets up the plea of Government control and pun- ishment for ticket scalpers. What is a ticket scalper? One who buys unused portions of railroad tickets, at re- duced prices, and upon which the,rall- road from which they are purchased still owes transportation, and sells them to others who may desire to travel to des- tinations for which the tickets were orig- inally purchased. That there are dishon- est ticket scalpers who resort to ¢ricks to defraud either the railroad or the pur- chaser is no excuse for condemning the business and invoking the Government's power to suppress it. When a man ey anything he acquires property rights in it and property rights presume the added right of exchange, and any Interference with that right by Government would be a subversion of popular liberty in truth and fact. L. PF. C. St. Louis, Is Wrong-Doing Necessary? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Whon Miss Nethersole said to the Post- cen ge reporter “You and I know very well that the 'wages of sin is the living we get from it,”’ she asserted a sweeping truth which society at large is slowly assimilat- ing.

The gen- eral condition of trade and commerce has greatly improved within The expansion in this respect is not as rapid as some might wish, but it is steady.

The IMPERIALISM, OR SELF-GOVERNMENT? — If the American institutions of 1776 and 1798 are to be supplanted by the colonial imperialism off Lord North, of George III., of Warren Hastings; if at the close of the nineteenth century men made almost omnip- otent ‘by gain from the most destructive civil war of history should conclude self- government a folly and human liberty an insanity, what would be the judgment this blood would bring upon them? . 7° . If, after this anathema, we are told that raising the flag over Fort Sumter in 186 is now intended to mean the establishment of coolie sugar colonies in Hawaii; the sup- pression of newspapers tn Porto Rico; the tearing down of the flag of the Cuban Re- public and the establishment of a military dictatorship over men who have bought liberty with their blood; if it were to heap the trenches around Manila high with the corpses of our late allies in the war with Spain—lovers and imitators of our insti- tutions; if it were to found on the ruins of the republic of 1776 a colonial coolie empire such as Warren Hastings founded for Bng- land—what then? This is the question the twentieth century must answer at its beginning, and on the answer the history of the world must de- pend. >. ¢ This is not in the “‘dark ages,” but in the nineteenth century—the same century in which we are asked to adopt instead of our own system of equal and free citizenship the colonial system which in India, under English Toryism, has slain not its myriads but its millions by the bayonet and the accompanied and complemented by plague and famine as incidents of im- perialistic political economy! > e + But as civilization depends on the right of every man to be free in his own home; as without the local self-government and individual Mberty for which Washington starved at Valley Forge and triumphed at Yorktown, there can be no evolution and no hope of higher civilization, it seems to me to be the urgent duty of every American to say with all his moral and intellectual force what Webster, Clay and Calhoun joined in saying when such an attempt was being made against the Spanish- American Republic as is now being mace ugainst the Transvaal Republic, the Orange Free State, Porto Rico Cuba, Hawali and the Philippines. If the Americanism of 1776 was right then, it is right now, ‘To aban- don a mission is to be ready for a fall’'— and not only ready for it, but, in our case, to be precipitated to it headlong. If we are ourselves worthy of independence, of local self-government, of individual Ifberty, we must demand it—we must enforce it at whatever cost—for every peaple on earth, if any chance of peace or war, any design of Providence or malice of the devi] has made ua responsible for terir pelitical con- dition in the present or the future. . . .

The company is giving opera in English now in a manner to merit the patronage of any city, and neither New York nor Chicago is receiving any better treatment at the hands of Mr. Savage's company than is St. Louis. That St. Louls appreciates this, is shown 7 | the increase in the attendance at Musie Hali from night to night. The opening week of the season witnessed steadily grow- ing houses as the company improved in its work, and the weak spots were strength- ered; last week, with a cast that with one exceptioA could hardly have been improved the attendance was still larger, and at the Wednesday matinee {ft was beyond the full capacity of the hall. The management of Company has shown a disposition to con- ced all the reasonable demands that St. Louis has made in the way of new s.ng- era, and its policy of changing the casts from night to night has enable one to hear two sets of principals in the same opera, thus affording variety and giving the sing- ers the rest required to keep their voices up to a high standard. The attention to deta.l in the way of chorus and stage set- tings and scenery has been all that «ould be suggested; the ensemble singing has been the best ever heard here, and the dDrilliancy of the pertormances has been Marred by nothing of the cheap variety.

HE dean of the American stage, Josepn Jefferson, is still doing “Rip Van | Winkle,” “The Rivals,”’ “Cricket on the Hearth’ and “‘Lend Me Five Shillings,”’ and in them he will appear at the Olympic this week, presenting “Rip Van Winkle’ on Monday and Wednesday nights and Satur- day matinee; Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday nights ‘“‘The Rivals,’’ and Friday night, “Cricket on the Hearth” and ‘Lend Me Five Shillings.’ (Mr. Jefferson is a veteran in his art, and now stands at the head of the dra- matic profession in America. The general public has accorded him that position for two reasons—from admiration of his long artistic career and respect for his private character. So many of the old-time ac- tors and actresses have stepped out of the ranks until the list of the active members has oe i so short that Mr. Jefferson is guarded with jealous care lest he should also wish to retire and leave a vag@ncy im sible to fill.

It is coming again to the Grand Opera House hes one week, beginning this afternoon. ‘Who is Who?” is a comedy that classes with plays “constructed for laughing pur- | Beatty only,” and it has a number of spe- Wherever the cialty features. This is the third season of this company. The play is one continu- al round of complications, which are all straightened out in the last act. The com- pany contafths a number of well-known people, including Charles A. Pusey, Bert St. John, James Cherry, Harry N. Welch, Arthur E. Roach, Charlies E. Adams, Ear! Cc.

More than ordinary interest attaches to ‘the presentation to-morrow night at Music Hall of Fiotow'’s ‘‘Martha,’’ by the Cas- tle Square Opera Company, because in addi- tion to showing the organization in another opera, it will introduce two new faces to a St. Louls audience im the soprano, Miss Alma Powell, and the tenor, Mr. Miro De- lamotta. Miss Powell is the possessor, it is declared. of a fourth register, enabling her to sing with ease notes which many another s80- rrano dare not take at all. Indeed, Miss Borel! s first operatic engagement was practically secured for her through her ap- pearance in “The Magic Flute,” in Europe, in which she took the part of the ‘“‘Queen of Night,” singing the role in the original Key without difficulty. But she is not only a singer: she is a lawver. Even while on the road filling opera engagements she continues her studies, and theretore keeps up with the class in which she is enrolled. She is a stu- dent of the University of New York, and has already taken a regents’ examination and received a certificate. Mr. Delamotta, who comes to Music Hal! at the same time as Miss Powell, is reported to be the possessor of a pleasing voice, un- der perfect control. Miss Adelaide Norwood will also appear during the week as ‘‘Mar- tha,’’ a role which she sung at the Ameri- can Theater, New York. The lighter form of the opera will present the entire organiz- ation in a new light, and give still further knowledge of its capabilities. Resident theater-goers of St. Louis will be afforded an opportunity at the Century Theater to-night of seeing “A Run- away Girl,’ which. proved a potent magnet at the Galety Theater, London, for three years—where it ja still running—as well ase in New York City last season. This composition is another added to the list of “‘Girl’’ pieces which have come to us from the other side, and which consist of pretty heroines, manly young heroes, ec. centric uncles and aunts, queer peopie of all sorts and conditions, who dance to lively music and parade in fetching cos- tumes. The difference between the vari- ous productions lies in the comical sit- uations in whch these characters find and extricate themselves, and it is said that in “A Runaway Girl’ ~ aay are many happy and interesting surprises. Ethe! a na is invested with the title role: Winnifred Grey, “The Runaway Girl’; Rachel Booth has a sort of “‘slavey’’ role, but she has brought it into prominence by her singing! and dancing. May Baker, Jeanette Towler, Mirlam Lawrence and Carolyn Gordon are also among the women. James T. Powers leads the men as Flipper. Charles Frohman’s Empire Company. with Odette Tyler, will present the play founded on Anthony Hope's “Phroso” at the Century Monday, November 27.

The pretty native girls and men who accompany the musicians are known as the Maile Hula dancers. and thev go through the evolu- tions of the fantastic native dances of Hawail.

Startling Words frorn the Committee Appointed Investigate Hypnotism for the Benefit of Journal Readers. (From New York Journal.) G. 8. LINOOLN, M. D.., 101 Orutchfield st., Dallas, Tex, — a a a ae ee ' EE ee , eee eee ee a ee ae REV. PAUL WELIZR, - - Voak, N. xX. Fr. H. STOUFER, Secret eblo, Oolo, Railway Oonductors, Hypnotism is no longer a myth, a fanciful creation of the mind, but « reality, a most potent power capable of producing infinite good. For the pur pose of ascertaining the exact value of this much-talked-of power a come- mittee composed of a physician, a well-known jurist, a prominent minister and a leading railroad. man, was appointed to investigate Hypnotism, The committee carried on a series of investigations in regard to the power of wher pr to influence the actions and deeds of people in the every-day walks of life. The first step taken by the members of the Committee was to master the science in every detail, so that they might state from personal experience the good or evil this strange power might produce. They wrote the New York Institute of Science of Rochester, N. Y., the greatest school of Hypnotism and Occult Scientes in the world, and received full and complete instruc- tions in regard to how hypnotism may be used to influence people in busi- ness, how to use it in treating diseases, &c., &c. Ina few days they mastered these instructions and were full-fledged hypnotists. It was clearly demonstrated that hypnotism may be employed so that the erson operated upon is entirely unconscious of the fact that he is being in- Leonel and, all things considered, the committee regard it as the most val- uable discovery of modern times. A knowledge of it is essential to one’s success in life and well-being in society. | Dr. Lincoln says, after a thorough investigation, that he considers it the most marvelous therapeutic or curat’ agent of modern times. Judge Schafer, athough a legal lig..., turned his attention to healing the sick, and in a few treatments he completely cured John EL Meyers of Flem- ington, N. J., of a strange malady that had kept him bedfast tor nine y and' which the doctors said must surely kill him. Judge Schafer’s fame sprea for miles around, and hundreds of people applied to him for treatment. Mr. Stoufer performed the astonishing feat of hypnotizing Mr. Cunninge ham of Pueblo, Colo., at a distance of several blocks. He also nyaeeeny an aged gentleman and had him run through the streets shouting “Red-hot pea- nuts for sale.” Mr. Stoufer says it is indispensable to one’s business success, Rev. Paul Weller says that every minister and every mother should under- stand hypnotism for the benefit they can be to those with whom they are brought in-daily contact. In speaking of this marvelous power, President Eliot of Harvard College said to the graduates: “Young gentlemen, there is a subtle power lying latent in each of you, which few of you have developed, but which when developed might make a man irresistible. It is called Personal Magnetism or yp- notism. I advise you to master it.” The New York Institute of Science has fust issued 10,000 coples of a book which fully explains all the secrets of this marvelous power, and gives ¢€x- licit directions for becoming a practical hypnotist so that you can employ the orce without the knowledge of any one.

T., Nov. 18.—Most of the 78 remnants 8f the once powerful lIowas live on their allotments near Perkins, O. T. They are not men with the hoe, as most of their choice lands are either uncultivated or else tilled by the whites. They employ their time in eating, sleeping, dancing, grunting, visiting and worshiping. They consider all the various doings—including horse racing and trading squaws—as relig- ious ceremonies, Their religion is a grotesque mixture of paganism and Christianity. They are 4ar- dent sun-worshipers, calling often upon Je- sus, who they say is in the glorious orb of day. They believe in splirituai horses, dogs and evergreen prairies where no trou- blesome white man or bad Indian can mo- lest them, Bill Dole, a very unctuous old limb of the expiring tribe, said: “I have ll squaws an papooses up there, and lots of spotted ponies eating grass up there on the ever- green prairies. I can see them on every cloudless day.’ Bill, however, got mar- ried again last week to a four-times wid- ow. Most of their wigwams are adorned with gorgeously colored pictures of scrip- tural scenes. Still they persist, In spite of having been notified repeatedly not to do so, In deposit- ing their dead on the surface of the earth. The graveyard in the old, deserted lowa Indian village on Bear Creek, Linco.n Coun- ty, is a disgusting, sickening boneyard. Gluttonous turkey buzzards and irreverent hogs fignt over the remains. Dag Tohee, a lineal descendant of the 2000-year-old royal Tohee family, officiates as chief of the little tribe. He looks very dignified, never gets drunk nor trades wives and is not much of a liar. His brother Dave, however, seems to be the black sheep of the Tohee family. Hix sixth squaw died last spring, and aster howling seven nights around her dead house he put a $2 marble cross near her resting place and began preparations for a union with squaw No. 7. The lowas delight to drink a slightly in- toxicating concoction made of corunenens and boiled corn, sumach berries, sugar an wild onions. After gulping down coplous draughts of the beverage they get exceed- ingly happy and talk about the good times coming, when only good lowas will inhabirc the whole of Oklahoma, Getting some of the white man’s educa- tion is one of their greatest hardships. The young lowas, ‘“‘like snails, crawl to sechool.”’ They play sick, and sometimes even dead, to keep from attending. The older consider the younger ones martyrs during school hours and often help them to evade the task. Two years ago they induced the In- dian department to allow them to have a school right 2t home. They had a costly building erected and several teachers were hired, but, alas! only about six juvenile red- skins attendeti the school. The lowas hate working on the roads even worse than any other kind of labor. Efeht of them started on a protracted visit to Ne- braska last summer, simply to escape from working three days on the roads which they travel more than any white man. They regard all physical and other ai)l- ments the work of “imps within’ and take strong emetics and vomit the evil spirits through the knot holes into hollow trees. This sort of faith cure nrocess al- ways seems to make them fee! a)! right for a while. REWARD FOR MR. BYNUM. Ex-Congressman Appointed One of the Appraisers of New York. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Thousands saw hi the country was flooded with his pictures, but there was none to come for- ward and say, “I know this man.” Three persons were known to be in pos- The list of known has been lengthened by two names since that time. When “Smith’ was convicted Judge Madill knew his name. His attor- ney, Jesse A. McDonald, knew it, and he knew it himself. The other twe are in Jefferson City. and even here there is more mystery. It is stated that his mother and sister live in St. Louis and that they frequently wrote to him, always’ addressing him as John Smith. In replying to his mother Smith one day gave the letter to a trusty to quietly slip into the maii box. The prisoner turned the let- ter over to an officer of the prison. These two know her name. Neither the name of the officer nor that of the trtisty will be divulged bv the prison authorities, ‘“Smith’s’’ description in the hands of the Olice is: Age, 22 years; weight, 156 pounds; build, medium stout; ‘height, 5 feet 10% inches; hair, dark brown; eyes, light haze}: nativity, American; wears’ gold-rimmed Spectacles, The inactivity of prison life has reduced his weight somewhat, and instead of being smooth shaven, he has grown a full brewn beard. His demeanor in the penitentiary has been as calm and unruffied as it was in the City Jail. He evinces surprise at nothing: he is interested in everything, yet in nothing. He is polite, soft in manner and speech, yet reticent as ever. A Post-Dispatch representative called his attention yesterday to the fact that on Monday he would be a free man. He smiled at this, but made no reply. “Will you not be glad?"’ he was asked. “Oh certainly,’ he answered, easily. “Will you return to St. Louis?’ “IT cannot say.” “Will you tell your name, ‘“‘Nobody is interested in me. he walked away. A now : No,” and The attempt to rob the Union Trust Co. through its president, Judge Madill, was one of the coolest piecee of criminal work ever performed in St. Louis. For a time it was thought to have been the effort of an insane man. But those who later came to John Smith and read the quiet intelli- gence in his eye and manner aé¢cepted the conviction that it was the act of a des- perate man, who needed the money for a desperate purpose. Judge Madil]l sat in his private office in the banking room of the Union Trust Co. all of Tuesday morning. Jan. 25, 1898. His Whole attention was directed to the ex- amination of some reports before him. He did not notiee a tall, well-dressed young man enter the room. He was startled te hear a voice at his elbow say, ‘‘Give me $5000."" President Madill is a cool, courageous man, and he sat very still, but looked hard at the young man. “What was that you said?’ he asked, quietly. “T said give me $5000 at once and here's a letter that will back me up. If that doesn’t maybe this will,” and he pulled a revolver from his pocket. “Put the weapon up. for violence. Take a seat.’ The young robber returned the revolver to his pocket and sat down, keeping a stern eye on. the banker. Judge Madill opened his letter and read: “Mr. Madill—I have been employed to come here on a most unusual errand, which though very distasteful, is very urgent. To save words, I have tried to put the nature of my business in writing, which I want you to read from beginning to end before making any comments, for the end may seem brighter than the beginning. -I will teli you now that I stand ready to blow your brains out if you make the slightest outcry, 30 I warn you not to do go. “Mr. Madill, I have been employed to murder you by two people whom I suppose will benefit richly by your death, for they have offered me $5000 to kill rou It was planned to kill you at night, but before committing such a crime I decided to first come here and give you a chance to save your life. I am a desperate man— desperate for money, and when I tell you that I must have that money to save my life you will understand why I am willing to commit murder and take a chance at the gallows to get it. “Mr. Madill, I do not want (underscored twice) to kill you. I am doing this for money only, and if you want to save your life there is but one method, and that is by advancing me $5000. I am not a common criminal, Mr. Magill, and do not wish to either kill or rob you, and if you pay me this money and promise not to prosecute me I will promise you upon the honor of a man to repay every cent of it to you. “Mr. Madill, I think you understand the situation. It is a matter of money or death. If you want your life spared say so. If not way so, and may God be with your soul if you say no.” The letter was not signed. As Judge Madill raised his eyes from the letter they fell upon Festus Wade, the real estate man, who was just entering the building. Rising to his feet he said to his visitor: “Five thousand dollars is a great deal of money, young man, but I will go get. it for you. Sit here until I return.” The Judge walked out of his private of- fice and managed to collide with Mr. Wade. In an undertone he told that gentleman to summon an officer in all haste. Mr. Wade telephoned from PFighth and Olive streets to Chief Desmond to send two men to Seventh and Olive streets where he would meet them, When Judge Madill passed Mr. Wade he proceeded downstairs to the safe deposit department and remained there. he young man waited in the private of- fice a long while and becoming impatient stepped into the corridor as though search- ing for Judge Madill. He leaned on the —, of Cashier Knox’s desk. Half an hour later Detectives Badger and Tracy ar- rived and after conference with Mr. Wade moved across the street. The young man saw them and retreated to the rear of the building. he detectives followed him and cornered him at the end of the corridor. He tried to draw a revolver, but was dis- armed and handcuffed. Judge Madfll was summoned and the man was taken in his private office, where he was questioned “egy an hour without result. e refused to tell who he was or where he lived or how he knew Judge Madill or why he made the attempt to rob him. When searched $5.30 was found upon him, but no letters or papers. He refused to testify at the trial and no person knows the motive that prompted the attempt at robbery.

Maid, Matron and Young Married Women Desire to Have Places of Honor Made Certain. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—‘‘Make way for the ladies!’ Of course. But which la- dies shall make way for the other ladies? That is the question that agitates eocicty here, and the importance of the question is emphasized by the struggle for between the unmarried women, er set, and the married women, At the reception which President Mcec- Kinley gave for the Presbyterian Synod, Mrs. Hitcheock, wife of the Secretary of the Interior, alone of the w:ves of Cabinet officers, was in the city. Mrs. Hitchcock promptly arrived at the white House, and took her place next to Mrs. McKiniey, in the line of women who told the M histers how very glad they were to see them. Half an hour after the reception began Miss Margaret Long, daughter of the Sec- retary of the Navy, arrived, a charming woman, and proud, who insisted that Hitchcock must yieid to her the piace of honor, because she said official etiquette orders that the Navy Department has pre- cedence over the Department of the Inte- rior.

Mr. Porter, in his unhappy position, will have precedents to guide him. By the so- clal law, which has hitherto been accepted, it is ordained that on occasions of public receptions the wife of the Vice-President, Stands next to the wife of the President, and next in order the wife of each Cabinet officer, according to the order of the crea- tion of the department in the Cabinet. Custom has ordered that, when a Cabinet officer is a widower, the lady who presides over his home can occupy the same posi- tion as would be. given his wife. Thus, to Miss Morton, sister of the former Sec- retary of Agriculture, and to Miss Herbert, daughter of Mr. Cleveland’s Secretary of the Navy, were given permanent places in the executive receiving line. Miss Morton’s place was at the end of the line, as her pbrother’s department is the youngest in the Cabinet. Miss Her- bert was entitled to stand next to the wife of the Secretary of War. With true tact, however, Miss Herbert refused to take pre- cedence of the matrons of the Cabinet clir- cle, and yielded gracefully, even to Miss Morton, who was her senior in years and experience. This has been regarded by some as a precedent which should con- trol. But women tn general do not follow pre- cedents. They make them. LIBRARY BOARD REORGANIZED. Mr. F. W.

He is charged with having issued checks ta his laborers which are payable only at certain saloons. The names of the complainants are withheld by the ofticiais for the ;wesent. lt is alieged that Fields, who hired about 20 men and agreed to give them $1 a day, only allowed them 90 cents, tendering the balance with a brass check, good for drinks at a certain saloon. The information was filed by Assistant United States District Attorney Hitchcock and is based on a section of the Federal Statutes reading asa fo.lows: Section 3583. No person shall make, iasue, cir- culate or pay out any note, check, merorandum, tokeu or other obligation for a less sum than one dollar, intended to circulate as money or to be received or used in lieu of lawful money of the United States; and every person 60 offending shal] be fined pot more than tive hundred dollars or im- prisoned not more than six months, or beth, at the discretion of the court. More arrests will follow in a few days, as evidence has been procured’ against three others. It is believed that several hundred men are affected by the practice in operation and ‘Mr. is determined to prosecute to the full ex- tent of the law. He understands the ‘grafting’ has been going on for several years. “It is a@ tyrannical scheme,’’ he said to the Post-Dispatch, ‘‘and when the amount thus filched from the workingman is consid- ered you can realize what the aggregaie is in the course of a year. ‘‘Men are forced against their wish to pa- tronize saloons speciahy designated on the brass checks they receive, and am in- formed they have at times been drugged in them. ‘We all know the character of a levee saloon, and when a man is through his day’s work he is not anxious ‘to spend 10 or even 5 per cent of his wages at those places. “The contractor, as I learn, has an un- derstanding wits the proprietor of a sa- loon and gets what is termed a ‘rake off’ on the proceeds, “When a boat anchors at the wharf an agreement is entered into with one of the contractors to remove the freight. He pays his men on an average W cents an nour and deducts the sum mentioned from their earnings, giving them in lieu thereof the saloon check. This is clearly a violation of the law and it has been carried on to @ remarkable extent in St. Louls. “We have experienced considerable diffi- culty in securing witnesses, as the men de- clare they would not be re-employed if they testified against the contractors. Our efforts have oniy started and we ‘propose to suppress the system so widely practiced in this district.” The question whether an employer can tender his employe checks of the descrip- tion referred to has been a subject of con- tention in the State and Federal courts for rears. *"The law has almost invariably been sus- tained as eae a — or punish- ent meted out to the violators. The Missouri State Supreme Court made an exceptional ruling several years ago on the same question and a strong dissenting opinion was rendered by Juage Shepard barcley. The case at issue was that of the State against W. H. Loomis, a wealthy mine owner of Macon County. ‘The min- ers were paid in A a which they pro- tested was unlawful, Loomis’ checks read substantially that he would pay bearer the value of his order at one of the local stores of which he was supposed to be the proprietor. Nothing was mentioned about the checks circulating elsewhere or being good at any other store. In the minds of a majority of the Su- preme Judges Loomis acted within his legal rights and the State could not prevent him from tendering the checks, inasmuch as they were in the form of a*contract, and to do so would be interfering with the freedom of a contract. Other State courts have taken a different view of the subject, and the United States Supreme Court has upheld the law cited at the beginning of this article. Judge Barclay’s dissent was couched In positive terms and was copied throughout the country. He has followed it with elaborate articles tm several of the law magazines.: In a recent article, after re- viewing the decision indirectly, he says: “The strength-of the judiciary to-day Hes in the confidence of the people, the oe gag dge of which is a priceiess comfort to al a faithful worker in the fleld. The people, we believe, approve the use of ju- dicial power to enforce the distinct guatan- ties of private right contained in our con- stitutions; but we are greatly mistaken if they will long tolerate a construction of that dccument which in effect leaves the ques- tion of validity of a law to depend on even the most eminent judge's view of its pro- priety or reasonableness. “So far, there has been no serious open revulsion of public opinion against the wide extension of power which some of the cases seem to assert in the direction indicated. tut it will not be long before the Vigilant spirit of American thought will begin to suggest a halt in further progress of that sort. It will be well for the judiciary, as the strong conservative influence in our government, to call the halt itself. If it does not, its present powerful influence for good will be found to wane. “A court should always be an exemplar of willing obedience to the law. It should be no less ready to recognize the Hmita- tions on its own authority than to enforce the restraints of law upon others. If the principles of American free government are to maintain their supremacy and the evolu- tion of political wisdom is to keep pace with the evolution of material prosperity—~- if the gradeur of our civie power is to ri. val the glory of our arms, the judicary must practice the lesson of self-restraint which is ¢he beauty and the strength of our American liberty.”’ Judge Barclay stated to the Post-Dispatch that the ‘‘check svstem'"’ tn use by many employers is a crying evil and the Federal authorities have taken a wise step to pre- vent it by instituting criminal prosecution.

THEY NEARLY MADE A FORTUNE, Farmer Curtis Meant to Sell His Home and Give Them the Money Upon Demand of the Lord. ~~ TOLEDO, O.; Nov. 18.—The conviction of Charles Ray, Theodore Bird, Theodore Wil- liams and Jacob Lawrence in the Lenawee County, Michigan, courts, on charges of conspiracy and obtaining money uncer faise pretenses, brings to light a remarkable story. | : Williams and Bird say that they originally lived at Keonomy, Pa., and that they were members of the Beonomic society at that ace. Kay and Lawrence have lived in lichigan, near Jackson's home, nearly all their lives. They have beer regarded as religious and political fanatics, but fairly ood farm hands. Some months ago they ired out to work for Thomas Curt.s, one of the wealthiest farmers in that section of the country. He is a deacon in the Free Will Baptist Church, one of his sons is studying for the ministry, and another, married, preaching. The entire family are extremely zealous in church work, and have always contributed liberally to religious en- terprises. ot long after may working for Curtis, bi companied by a couple of women, they claimed to be their wives, ap at the Curtis homestead, saying tnat Lord had sent them to Curtis, and he was commanded to provide for worldly wants. They were taken into the family, fed, clothed and cared for for over three months. These men told Curtis that they had been chosen of the Almighty to eeek out his chosen people, and that the end of the world was but a short time away. They told Curtis that the only chance he had of salvation when the end of the world should arrive was for him to dispose of his earthly possessions and turn the money over to the Lord. To this Curtis, while considerably wrought up over the strange teachings of these men, @t first objected most vehemently, but with the combined influence of Ray and Lawrence, whom Bird and Williams had enlisted in thelr cause, he finally br me At this point another difficulty arose. One son, Will, Mrs. Curtis, and a daughter, Mrs. Herbert Rushton, wife of Deputy State Factory Inspector Rushton, had not been won over. he clever conspirators were equal to this emergency. They heid_ meet- ings at the Curtis home and worked upon Mrs. Curtis so pereistently that she became @lmost hysterical] and finally consented to eel] the property, that she might, with the rest of the family, be free fuom the threat- ened displeasure of the Aimighty. Bird and Williams continually pictured to her the terrors of the damned, and made the poor woman believe that she would be visited with divine wrath if she did not acquiesce in the sale of the property and sign the deeds therefor. The son, Will Curtis. and Mrs. Rushton subsequently became perfectly infatuated with the teachings of these men, but the members of their immediate families ob- jected strenuously and continuou They would not give in, In order,to win them over the two men introduced into their creed the beiléf that marriage by a minister or justice of the peace was unholy, and that any one having been s0_ united was liable to be punished by God. So thorough- ] alarmed did Mrs. Rushton become over this new doctrine that she took her two children, left her husband, and went to her father’s home, while Will Curtis, whose wife opposed the teachings of this new pect, cast her off, and Charles Ray drove her from the premises. Everything was now in readiness, the family. having been united on the subject, and Curtis made all arrangement® for sell- ing his farm and all his personal effects, worth about $25,000 or $350,000, to turn the money over to the “aposties,’’ these men termed themse.ves. Curtis arranged and liminaries for the sale, with their wivcs, went results. They had been there but a short time when funds ran low and they wi Curtia that the Lord had appeared to them and told them to ask him for $200 to es- tablish a home for themselves. The 1 man sent them a draft for $), and . jams wrote back that they were all the Lord having told them he was with them for taking less than $200, amount they had asked for under his direc- tions. In the same letter Curtis was in- formed that if the rema:ning $16) was n: forthcoming at once the wrath of God all ita terrors would be visited upon household. and he immediately remitied the balance, as demanded, This was but one of the numerous schemes used to ex- tort money from Curtis, But th “apostles”’ had reckoned without Deputy Btate Factory Inspector Rushton, and a few days before the homestead was to be wold he took a hand tn the proceed- ings. He secured the appointment of guardian for the elder Curtis, declarin him mentally incompetent This thwarted the plans of the conspirators, An investimation followed. The “‘aposties” were arrested.

Mr. Davis was one of the wealthiest men of Montana, and when he died in the Spring of 1890 his estate was valued at $6.,- 000,000. The latest will to be found was dated back In 1865, and.the heirs immediate- ly plunged into litigation, The case was in court for more than six years, and some of the most prominent law- yers of the country were engaged on each side. James M. Woolworth, president of the American Bar HAVE TAKEN OUT MANY USEFUL PATENTS IN LATE YEARS. GOOD PROFIT IN THEIR IDEAS. Seventy-five Per Cent of the Articles First Made by Women and Ser- viceable and Bring Money. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—Men acquainted with the fleld say that fully 75 per cent o1 the patents taken out by women in the last five years are yielding profitable returns. The woman who invented satchel-bottomed paper bags, for instance, had an offer of $20,000 for the patent before she left Wash- ington. A simple glove buttoner is bring- ing to the woman inventor an income of $5000 a yedr. A woman clerk in a department store invented a parcel delivery system which netted substantial returns. One New Engiand miliiner, herself an inventor, en- joys the right to several patents that rep- resent the ingenuity of the woman opera- tives in her employ. She shares profits with the inventors, and one of the devices first put in operation in this factory brings in $20,000 a year. It often happens that a woman employe, from familiarity with the machinery or business methods in use, thinks out some time and labor saving scheme. She shows the model to the manager of her depart- ment. He tells the firm of its merits and they arrange with the employe for the ex- clusive use of the invention. The employe goes on quietly with her work in the store or mill. The public never hears of her, but success has been a stimulus, and she keeps on the lookout for further inventive oppor- tunity. Much of woman’s present activity in in- ventions is ascribed to the better educa- tional facilities now obtainable. The col- lege standard is high, and popular courses in sioyd and manual training have taught women to use their hands as well as brains. Notwithstanding this a large proportion of the more successful women inventors are those who have had only medium or limited educational advantages, but have heen daily tollers in the various lines Of industry. A Rhode Island woman invented an improved button-hole-cutting machine that measures the distance between the button holes auto- maticaiiy, with much profit and convenience to garment makers. A lock with 3000 com- binations is a woman’s invention, also a letter box for the outside of homes that shows a signal when there is a letter in- side for the postman to collect, an inven- tion now in constant use. A woman has just perfected a valuable apparatus for re- moving wool from skins by electricity, showing that women are quick to adopt the modern facilities of the age to prac- tical purpose. A Californ-a woman whose first. invention in early youth was a corset has lately patented several inventions. The South has yielded several inventions relating to res- ervoirs and Irrigation. The Northwest, the Middle and the Bast- ern States have produced the most active women inventors. The South has yielded the fewest number, but the Southern wom- en who have entered the field at all have been financialiy successful. Two import- ant aids to agriculture were the invention ofan Alabama woman. A working woman in- North Carolina succeeded with a cul- inary invention. A Florida matron pat- ented a useful car-heating apparatus. A Texas woman invented a novel folding tent, and another Southern woman a finger-ex- ercising device, of value to musicians. A Western widow patented a method of de- sulphurizging ores; another invented a com- position solder of use to metal workers. Women inventors from the big cities have a@imost invariably patented articles pertain- ing to the elegance of dress and house fur- nishings. Those from the country districts and villages have been active in the way of dress-drafting patterns, novel devices for adjusting portieres and curtains, and patents useful in the manufacture of artis- cic goods. Many facilities for clerical use hase been patented by city women, such as safety envelopes’ tmproved typewriting appliances, copy holcaers, letter openers, etc, Most of these women were employed art eome time as clerks In business offices and felt the lack of conveniences which they afterward supplied. A number of women aechoo!l teachers are successful inventors, and have patented ed- ucation systems and devices; also, kinder- garten implements, erasers, achool bags and Women from the emall towna in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Dakota and [Ili- nois have been prolific in inventing house- hoid comveniences—washing and cleaning apparatus, facilities for ganitation, ger- ment binding, shields, fastenings and dress improvements, New England women have brought out attachments and improvements that have to do with saddles, harnesses and vehicles, the needs of barn and gar- den, They have invented butter workers, plumbing appliances, brushes for cleaning, and fire kindling compositions: toys, games, puzzies and amusement knick-knacks, SHAFTER AWAITS MORE REWARD His Friends Think He Should Go Above a Brigadier-Generalship Before He Retires.

All the Mining So Far Has Been Dons by the Use of the Rocker and the Crudest Appliances. CHICAGO, Nov. 18.—William D. Johns writes an interesting letter to the Recora from Cape Nome, the geld field of Alaska, in which he says: “Where a year ago was only a bare wind- swept beach in Bering Sea—one of the most desolate places to be found on earth. be- side which the interior Yukon COuLtry has a fine climate—there lis “Ww people surrounded by some of the rich- est placer diggings the world has seen. “At the water's edge along the beach and back to the tundra, averaging about 150 feet in width, there, has been taken out $2,000,000 worth of gold with rocker washing in the crudest way, Many without copper ‘plates and quicksilver, and with anything théy could make in the shape of a rocker. The tailings of these men are now in piaces be- ing worked over and pay good wages. These diggings, which changed a camp of broken, ragged, discouraged men in a few days to one in which every man had money and making $100 a day, while some who Struck rich spots took out tuousands in a short time, exfend from about eight miles below Smoke River to about 37 miles up- stream, There is a barren streak extend- ing about 2 miles farther up, and above that the diggings are said to extend up to Cape Prince of Wales. At the mouth of Smoke River for about three miles the beach is exceptionally rich, One newspaper man who was flat broke Staked out a piece of ground 30 by 24 feet, and in eight’days with one rocker and the helf of four men whom he hired when he found he had it rich took out $6200. One man who struck a rich spot rocked out $17W inaday. ‘Missouri Bill’ and another wel]- known Dawsonite took advantage of a very low tide and went away out, carrying the dirt on a hand-barrow up to the higher beach to rock it. Their day’s work gave them—two men—$2200 and proved that the deposit runs out under the ocean. When this shall be worked in quantities by dredges, pumps and machinery, the yieid should be tremendous. Right in the town at the lower end in the grass roots of the tundra next the beach the dirt goes a dollar to the pan. Water in limitless quan- tities is close by and any mining man knows What this means when properly worked. This year some men rocked all along the beach in defiance of those who had staked the ground, but next year when the court comes in it is likely that they may be com- pelled to remain below highwater mark. The creeks are from five and twenty-five miles from Nome, Some of the best are within seven mileg, Anvil Creek has had clean-ups as high as $22,000 for 60 hours’ shoveling for two men. One is said to have cleaned up $260,000 for the season’s work. Snow Gulch, a tributary of Anvil Creek, is even richer. Dex Creek is good. On No. 9 they cleaned up $16,000 with rockers in a short time. Although there was not water enough to sluice, and the expense of getting out supphes was high this year, the cost of taking it out was only $1000, or 6 per cent. On Anvil Creek the cost was but 5 per cent, Credible men tell me th® Bonanza district just below Cape Nome is very rich and will ore a great rival of Nome. Golofum Bay s deep, harder to work and of a lower grade so far as investigated. There has been a discovery at Cape York which is said to be good. gut there is one curse on all these dis- tricts which will retard development and eventually throw the mines into the hands of a’ grasping few and prevent the indi- vidual miner from getting a claim for him- self. This is the abuse of the power of at- torney. Practically everything of value in the Cape Nome district was staked by six men. In the Bonanza district a larger number of men got in, but still an immense area was covered by a few. At Cape York one man has staked 20) and 300 claims. As these claims are large it can readily be seen that the people who come late can get no land that is thought to be valuable. Cape Nome is built stragglingly along the beach for a mile, and is now half as large as Dawson. This, despite the fact that building has been seriously retarded by the scarcity of lumber, which Is $200 per 1000 feet, and little to be had at that high price. Town lots are held on the front street ut from $1000 to $10,000, according to loca- tion. As the ground is rich in gold the tenure of title {s likely to be uncertain, as it is staked for placer. There has been some jumping, but as a rule rights are respected. A good many are building now on the beach just above high water, claiming that the Government reserves 60 feet which cannot be located and so on this claim spatters’ rights. A court is badly needed here, and it is hoped an additional judge will be appointed for this district. DIVORCE MILL KEPT BUSY In Indiana Last Year There Was One Legal Separation to Every Seven Marriages. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 18.—In In- diana last year there 3483 divorces granted. During the snme space of time the county clerks issued 26,061 marriage licenses. This shows that out of every seven marriages there was one blank drawn, which the courts had seen fit to annul. This ie a worse showing than made for the previous year, when the average was but one tn 10. There are storm centers, of which the worst is Marion County, which includes Indianapolis. In that county the ratio is one divorcee to every four mar- riages. The same ratio is found in Madison and several other counties. In Fayette, a quiet agricultural community, there was but one divorce, and in Ohio, Scott, Orange and Switzerland the records are almost as clean.

Will Is Now Being Contested, but It Appears That the Suit of His Nephew Is Hardly Worth While. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 18.—As the facts and figures come to light and as the claimants appear and leave with their chacks the few intimate friends of the late Prof. Othniel Charles Marsh have become @ware of a condition surprising even to them. That the great lrofessor of Yale, the atrange, lonely man, whose life is identified with the greatest discoveries in @cience on this continent should have died all but impoverished will be news to the @reat army of Yale graduates. Prof. Marsh enjoyed distinction in two lines. He was the greatest discoverer as — _— well as the createst authority in vertebrate Paleontology. Indeed, he was the founder of that science so far as it relates to America. aire professor, and millionatre professors @re about as scarce as the toothed birds which Marsh found imbedded in the rocks of the far West. Nothing will ever remove the immortality which Marsh sought and found in his favorite study. The dollars, a great pri- Vate fortune inherited from his uncle George Peabody, have melted away. Surrounded by all the Juxuries to which he had been accustomed for years, Prof. Marsh died of pneumonia last March. He ft eyery dollar's worth of property to ale, inciuding the great, beautiful home, @ rare collections of rugs and orchids, all in addition to the priceless collection of ecience which he had given to the univer- sity months before. All Yale graduates believed that the col- had been made richer by an estate of 00. Prof. Marsh's nephew. R. H. aters of Newburyport, Mass., held that Delief, too, when he began suit not long wince to break his uncle's will. Juage William B. Stoddard of Milford. the at- forney for Waters, said that the estate at most would foot up about $50,000. From other sources it was learned that if the claim of Yale, a mortgage of ,000, was satisfied at a foreed sale the estate would be of little or no value. The luxurious tastes of Prof. Marsh, hie love for Yale and characteristic disre- gard of money matters brought about this Situation. For years he refused to accept @ salary from the university. He died prac- tically dependent upon the bounty of the netitution which had been so honored py ig connection with it. The cash figures of the inventory show that he had $110.98 in fhe bank and $588:53 due from the uni- versity. One of the offivters of Yale said yesterday: “if Prof. Marsh had lived but @ little longer he would have been left thout any property at all.” @ name of Marsh will Hve while the Bistory of Yale is remembered. His was e of the strongest personalities ever nown in that historic cluster of buildings. His friend, Prof. Charles E. Beecher, jn Writing of his discoveries, says: “‘Wera al] other evidence lost or wanting, the law of evolution would still have a firm founda- nm in incontrovertible fact.” rof. Marsh's private life was singular- onely. His nearest relative is the ew who contests his will. His house Was one of the statellest in New Haven, and when he was not exploring the Rockies. cing the history of the mammoths of gone days, he was devoting the same zeaj to his exquisite works of art, rare rugs, costly antique furniture and the orchids of climes. He lived quite alone in the dst of his treasures. He never married. 0 woman ever graced ‘this home. There is a legend, however, which will be lo cherished by the few friends of this fsolated man. In the front of his house is @ deep, oval window, in the recess of which tands a slender vase and alabaster. A Bouaues of flowers whose coior and aroma @ since faded has filled this vase and upied this niche for more than a quarter a@century. In his moments of leisure . t scientist has been known to stand n reverie before this vase as before a rine, while his memory seemed to return to the distant past, Not even to his most imtimate friends did he ever suggest the nee of these flowers, and the story is ried with him as deely as some of the ed mammals of the pleocene period. Orchids, rugs, bric-a-brac occupied the flours when he was at leisure from his Eines. His collection of orchids included specimens. They were sold for an average price of & cents each, though the lection had cost thousands of dollars. He had pata $00 for a single specimen Es b as been reat controvers as to Prof. Marsh's religious bellef. Prof’ Beech” Marsh planned his Hfe that immortality is and not in the hereafter.

The Home Comfort Building and Loan Association has wound up its career of eight years and two months with a profit of $32.50 per share, a little over 8 per cent in- terest per annum on $98 paid in. This profit was allowed the non-borrowers, while the borrowers paid 6 per cent interest for their money. The company was very fortunate. It had no financial losses|of any description. It never sold out the home of any borrow- er, and did not loose a dollar by the cyclone. It passed suceessfully through the panic of 1803, Mr. Geo. P. Wolff was president since its organization, and the other officers are Erick Picker, vice-president; Louis Hof- man, treasurer, and John A. Watkins, sec- retary. The latter was the organizer of the association. Leading Transfers of tha Wesk. CITY BLOCK 4494—8 7-100ths acrs. Cote Brilliante Improvement Co. to Julius C.

Druggists We, Bc, We, ° %. on the south — THIS WEEK SHOWED ONLY A SLIGHT ADVANCE. HIGH PRICES NOT WARRANTED. Steady Trading, However, Justified Advances at the Close of the Week’s Dealing. Affected slightly by foreign openings, the market in the local pit would later break loose from any restraining influences and follow the dictates of the grain news of this country. The changes recorded in price were ex- tremely small, but of an upward charac- ter during the week, and as the general opinion of the pit was that there was noth- ing to warrant higher prices, the openings were usually the chief point of interest of each day’s trade. Later, when the course seemed to be entirely mapped out by the close of the foreign markets, the interest earlier exhibited would be found entirely lacking. At tne close of the week's trade, how- ever, there seemed to be much more to justify advances than there was at the end of the week before. The receipts at the grain centers of the Northwest are increas- ing slightly, but not nearly as rapidly as the bears predicted, and still are but little over half what they were a year ago. Lo- cal receipts are on the decrease in most of the grains. Some show a slight improve- ment. Wheat was of the most interest to the local trade last week. Corn had some at- tention, while in oats there was not a sale. In wheat the future to receive the most at- tention was December, though May showed great improvement. December opened at 68c, a loss of %c since the close of the week before; the future rose to 69%4c for its high and fell to 67%c for its low. May opened at 72%c, a loss of %c; it made a high figure of 73%c to 73%c and a low of 72c. Decem- ber closed at 68%c to 69c; May closed at 72%c to 7T3c. December corn opened at 30%c, made a low of 30c, a high of W%c, and closed at 30%c. May opened at 3lc, fell to 30%c, ad- vanced to $8llec, closing at 31%c asked. December oats were figured only noml- nally. May was 24%c to A%c and 2c. Chicago Grain Letter. By Wire to J. W. Sanford. CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 18.—Wheat has been narrow in range and without marked feat- ure, The situation has undergone no change. The advices from Argentine tell- ing of brilliant crop prospects within six weeks of harvest and the large visible sup- ply in that country compared to a year ago ave detered bulls from taking hold with any confidence. The threatened liquidation in December wheat is slow in coming, but we think, nevertheless, is bound to occur. There is fair margin for carries at the ex- isting difference, but there are some large lines of Deceniber wheat still long and property will seek a market Sbefore long now. The foreign markets show weakness, are above an export basis and see plenty of wheat coming their way. At home receipts of winter and spring wheat are falling off, and some complaint of insect life in winter wheat, but not numerously reported. The visible supply here promises to increase next week again. The drag on the market is the long interest in December wheat, which prevents any fresh buying. Prices wiil probably gradually wear away under pressure to place this property. Corn only needs a Moses to lead it out of the wilderness. Stocks here and every- where of old corn are light, and Decem- ber shows this fact by the strength it dis- plays. Receipts ight; country offerings are meager. Farmers are not selling with their usual freedom at this season of the year. Speculation, however, is light and the bulls are without a leader.-. Still the action in corn, as compared to the steady decline in wheat, indicates inherent strength in the grain. Oats are strong in position as well as holding thelr own in price. There is_good cash and export demand. Quality of crop excellent and stocks do not increase as they were expected to. Prices will work higher. ACTIVE TRADING IN ST. LOUIS. Bulls and Bears Had Almost an Even Time of It. The week closed yesterday was on the whole the first really active one the St. Louis Stock Exchange has had for some time, and while the tendency of prices has not been so bullish as to keep pace with the markets in other cities, it must be re- membered that neither were they so bear- ish during the decline in New York. On the whole there have been few changes of note in any of the list, com- pared with those of last Saturday, most of them having taken place as ups and downs and seeking the same level after all. The list of banks shows more changes than any other, and in it, on an average, the changes show an advance. None of striking moment is noted, however. Street Railway securities are a few points lower, one or two, on the average perhaps, and the general list is about the same. The mining shares are as before, except Gran- ite, which is a little higher, sent there yes- terday, after a week of slumps. There were two slumps in Street Railway securities, Browns and Suburbans. Browns were only 134 yesterday, and sales were made at that price. Suburbans lost Tues- day. San Sebastian mining stock had a drop the same any. There was consider- able dullness in the market in the early part of the week, but it recovered toward the end, and Friday and Saturday were very lively days. Mr. W. F. Wernse of the Wm. F. Wernse & Co. Bond and Stock Co.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—Commissioner Wilson of the Interna] Revenue Bureau has decided an important the taxability of the transfers of mortga- ges, both chattel and real. The question came up on a recent de- cision by Judge Woolson of the United States District Court at Keokuk, Io... who refused to allow a mortgage to be offered in evidence, because it was not stamped as a transfer. It appears that the mort- gage was given to secure the payment of a note, which note passed, by indorsement, through several hands. Judge Wilson de- clined to allow the mortgage to be intro- duced in evidence on the ground that it had not been stamped for each transfer. Com- missioner Wilson does not concur with Judge Woolson and takes the view that if the mortgage was stamped when first given it is not subject to the stamp tax, as these transfers were simply implied and not ex- ressed. He ruled that Congress intended only to tax the express assignments and transfers of mortgages and not those th j merely question relative to. DEMAND FOR STOCKS FED WITH CONSTANT SUPPLY. SMALL RANGE OF PRICES. Bank Statement Followed by Slight Hardening at Points—Market Clos- ing Easy at Mixed Net Changes. NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—The notable thing in to-day’s stock market was the small range of prices considering the extent of the activity and the wide distribution of the dealings. There was a continuous de- mand during the whole of the two hours’ session, the demand was fed with a con- stant supply which looked like realizing and which held the market back from any advance, but which was discontinued on any signs of reaction. The absorption of Baltimore & Ohio pre- ferred continued on a large sca:e, and lifted the stock a point. Sugar was also notably strong as were the local traction shares and some of the metal stocks. Glu- cose rose 4%. Minneapolis and St. Louis preferred gained 2%. The large advance in Sugar invited active realizing, and Balti- more & Ohio was affected by the same cause. The bank statement was followed by a slight hardening at points,-but this did not last, and the market closed easy at mixed net changes. The recuperation in the pro- portion of bank reserves is almost wholly due to loan contractions. The sum of over $5,000,000, which has been paid to the mar- ket by the Subtreasury in the last three days for bond redemptions, seems to find almost no reflection in the statement. On the other hand, the showing of loan con- traction is believed to be exaggergated, as that process came early in the period cov- ered by the statement, and so figures in the average for the week. The banks have been lenders during the latter part of the week of sufficient sums to largely offset the earlier contraction. While the statement seems to understate the cash gains and to overstate the loan reduction, the reduction of the deficit in reserves met expectations. The sensitiveness of the stock market to developments in the money situation which has been its characteristic for some time past, was emphasized during this week. The circular of the Secretary of the Treasury. offered to redeem $25,000,000 of government bonds at Wednesday's market price, was issued after trading had ceased on Wednes- day, but it was the occasion, at the opening on Thursday, for an outburst of animation and a buoyant rise in prices and the stock market was dominated by this influence for the rest of the week. On Monday the open- ing liquidation in expectation of loan con- traction by the banks, incident to the in- crease in their deficit in surplus reserves, was promptly checked by the sudden drop in sterling exchange to near the gold import point, and the making ofr preliminary ar- rangements for shipments of gold from London. The local money market was also fed by a sporadic supply, due to a special railroad bond operation. But this casual supply of money had the effect of easing the money market so far as to affect the sterling exchange rate, which rose prompt- ly awav from gold import point, thus dis- appointing expectations of relief from that quarter and causing a reactionary tendency of stocks. The money situation bad im- proved by Wednesday by reason of small eash accretions from sundry sources and the relaxation in the demands of the sub- treasury on the local money supply. Under these conditions the stock market was ripe for an active speculative movement, which was precipitated by the appearance of the treasury circular. Sales to take profits were on a cons‘der- able scale, but wore eagerly absorbed and the large commitments madg in various stocks made it manifest that the fncreased money supply was being ravidly diverted to an expansion of credits for purposes of speculation fn stocks. rae 8 The extent to which the treasury’s offer of bond redemption has been aljready availed cf is not easily explained In com- parison with the slight response to the of- fer to anticipate the fiscal vear’s govern- ment bond interest. Less than 8 per cent of the total amount of interest thus of- fered has been taken, notwithstanding the continuance of money stringency in New York. There has been some recent accumu- lation of @overnment bcnds bv New York hanking interests, partly In the hope that they would become ava'lable as security for additional government deposits ani partiv in the thhope that the government would commence buying bonds. There are many current rumors in Wall street. some of them extravagant. as to the extent of this accumulation. But however large the indivtdual holdings available for redemption nay it is evidently not the purpose of the holders to causa any violent revulsion in money rates by a sudden inflation of the moncy market. It is easilv emthered from utterances by ttreasurv officials that special efforts have been made by hastening audits and by prompt disbursements, to keep the available cash balance in the treasury below unwieldy proportions. Ry these means the exrenditures thus far this month are only about a million less than for the corresponding period last vear. when war expenses were still running hich. In snite of largely increased rece'pts this year, the month's treasury surplus has teen kent down to a nominal figure. is possible thet the process of forward government dishursements reached its limit and the bond redemption offer is desiened to offset a coming Increase in the current proportion of receipts over expenditures by the treasury.

Under this plan, as already explained, all the trades and pro- fessional interests In the city are divided into a series of groups. There were origi- nally 156 of these groups, but In classifying the interests it wis found necessary to In- crease the mugnber and there are now i9 @ctualiy organized, under the following chairmen: W.

E. Smith, began work Yosterday marning. The lines or interests that he will personally have in charge, and for each of which he _ will secure @ competent collecting committee, include wholesale boots and shoes, casualty insur- @nce, tobacco and cigars, commercial and collection agencies, wholesale dry goods and commission, wholesale grocers, lumber and woodenwihire. As an instance of the thoroughness of this work of recanvass, it may be explained that Mr. Wells rece!lved fn tabulated form @ complete list of every individual and firm fn each of the lines in his group. He epent almost the entire day sorting these out and placing himself in communication with the gentiemen who made the pre- liminary canvass in each interest. By to- gorrow morning he will have committees at work in nearly each line and definite re- sults will be forthcoming at once. The adopted plan calls for reports by the chair- man of each collecting committee to the group chairman twice a week. The group chairman, in turn, will report to the chair- men of the finance committee every Fri- day, so that at the end of each week the exact progress made in every classification, some 600 in number, will be known to; tne finance committee. By this means weak jnts can be strengthened and the work ept up until every individual or firm on the lists has been actually asked to take @ proprietary interest in the Louisiana Purchase Centennial. Mr. TT. S.

Bome of these have already been eg tras worked, notably the labor organizations which have responded with untform enterprise and lib- erallty; but the reorganized plan tnecludes every line, whether the returns were good, bad or indifferent. Gov. O'Meara'’s group of viee-chairmen are Mr. Henry Blackmore, formerly Labor Commissioner; Mr. Louts Skrainka, president of the Skrainka Con- struction Co., and Mr. John L, Green, sec- retary of the Laclede Fire Brick Co. Mr. W. H. Woodward also started work vesterday morning.

Bissel, and his group includes lines from which heavy § addi- tional subscriptions are looked for, such as hotels, land companies and real estate owners. Mr. Norris B. Gregg will continue strengthening the canvass among retail grocers and retail druggists, and will also see that competent committees elther con- tinue or commence canvasses in lines con- nected with the paint, ofl and drug trades, retail dry goods, glass and other lines. Mr. J. S. Finkenbiner reported Mr. J. E. Thomson as his first vice-chairman, and these gentlemen were actively at work yes- terday. Advantage has been taken of Mr. John Schroers’ freely expressed willingness tQ undertake any and all possible work. He has got his reorganization in a forward condition, and reports having secured the active co-operation of the following gentile- men in some of the most important lines assigned to him: é Mayor Zlegenhein, city officiale; E. A. Ro- zier, Federal Building; H. W._ Prentis, schools; F. W. Rauschenstein, St. Louis County: Charles P. Higgins, saloons; Shrep- ard C. Sidney, stamped ware; Charles Reb- stock, wines and liquors, and. William V. Burbon, lodging houses. The other group chairmen are giving per- sonal attention to the work and it is ex- pected that by to-morrow or Tuesday the entire new scheme will be in actual working order. In addition to this complete plan of re- organization and the additions to the work- ing force which it involves, Chairman Pier- re Chouteau, on the joint request of the Executive and Finance Comm :ttees, has mare eeveral additions to the Committee of Two Hundred.

As the week was given over almost en- tirely to detail and preliminary work in connection with the plan of reorganization. it was not expected that many subscrip- tions would be reported at the office of the executive Committee for filing. Chairman D. R. Francis was agreeably surprised yes- terday when he found that quite a heavy batch of signatures had come in. and he regarded the number and amount of the subscriptions as a good omen of the suc- cess of the latest effort to complete the fund, an effort which all feel confident wil! yield immediate resutts. The largest sub- scription of the week was that of the Na- tional Lead Co. for $10,000. Mr. Charles F. Vogel Is a firm bellever in the adage that “example is better than precept.’’ and be- fore starting out on his canvass he in- creased his own subscription from $3000 to $3750. Just Simmons Brockman before Chairman Thompson's de- parture East Mr. R. B.

Whelpley of Albion place, whose home is made attractive by a col- lection of curios and bric-a-brac. Among things much admired was a tortoise brought from Porto Rico and an arma- dillo, at one time a pet in the family, but at present dead and stuffed. The body and head are encased in an armor composed of small, long plates. This is the peba variety and was found in Texas. An ostrich was passed around for inspection. This was brought from an African farm, and many other ar- ticles were shown which had been collect- ed during a recent trip to Old Mexico. In a cabinet were a variety of arme manufac- tured as early as 1812, many with historical Mrs. Whelply has specimens of opalized wood and some wonderful lace and embroidery. Literary Symposium. The ladies of the Literary Symposium took an imaginary walk about the city of Florence last Wednesday morning, visiting churches, galleries and other spots of in- terest. Giotto’s gleaming marble tower, the Campanile, with ite many bas-reliefs and guardian saints, was the first object to attract attention. After this Ghiberti's bronze doors. of baptistery fame, were closely studied. Mrs. Griffith concluded that fllustrators and painters et the snake with a human head, wrapped around the forbidden tree, from a quaint pane! in thie old gate. made over 400 years ago. And that Michael Angelo’s lovely Eve of the Sistine ceiling, which was painted 50 years or more after Ghiberti died, is a study from the Creation of Eve on this “‘gateway, fit for Paradise.”’ The mural paintings of Cimabue, Giotto, Pocetti and Orcagna elicited much com- ment, especially Orcagna’s illustrations of Dante’s Inferno and Rose of the Blessed. Every leaf of the mystic white rose is a saintly face in profile, whose spirituelle beauty does not appear to the beholder un- til after a close study. This is truly In keeping with the mystic poem, The Rose of the Blessed is only appreciated in all its beauty after one has studied the Inferno and found ite Paradiso. A table talk followed upon the two mar- ble Davids of Florence, that of Donatello and Michael Angelo’s. Mrs. Andrew Mack- ay described Michael Angelo’s David, Mrs. J. J. Broderick ‘having seen it before it was moved, Miss Bayard, Mrs. Cardell and Mrs. Benedict also having etudifed both statues. Mrs. Griffith closed the morning tour with a reading, ‘“‘The Bells of Florence.” The topic for next Wednesday at 10 o'clock a. m. is Fra Angelico. Hofman Clubs. The Current Topics Club meet at Mrs. Van Blarconi's, Westmoreland plece, Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Hofman began the course of lectures by giving pen portraits of prom- inent people. She told of Olive Schreiner’s beautiful analysis of the Roer character and read “Mr. Dooley on the Transvaal.” New inventions and scientific discoveries were discussed and Senator Ingalls’ late expression of opinion on the woman ques- tion caused a tremendous flutter of indig- nation among the tadies. The next talk will be given Wednescay, Noy. 2.
