WHAT THE POST-DISPATCH ACCOMPLISHED. Nov. 22—Under the caption “Light for a Dark Spot” the Post-Dis- patch urged that the Federal Building be washed and lighted at night. This petition was presented: “To the Federal Government—The people of St. Louis respectfully petition for the immediate washing, renovation and il- lumination of the Federal Building in this city.” Nov. 283—The St. Louis,Republic joined the Post-Dispatch in the ur- gent request that the Federal Building, be cleaned and lighted. Nov. 24-30—Numerous articles published, showing the small expense that would be incurred cleaning and properly lighting the Federal Building; also interviews with persons holding property near the now dismal structure, urg- ing immediate action on lines laid down by the Post-Dispatch. Dec. 1-5—Special dispatches from Washington, showing what funds were available and local articles reciting measures being taken by Federal officials Idcated in St. Louis to carry out the wish of the people. Dec. 6—Custodian Smith sends a communication to Washington, urging that the Federal Building be washed and lighted according to suggestions made by the: Post-Dispatch; also that a better elevator service be provided and that the building be renovated throughout. Congressman Bartholdt prepates a bill that will provide a special appropriation for this work, should such*appropriation be necess@ry.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—If the plans of the Treasury Department and of Congress- gan Bartholdt are carried out the Post-Dis- patch will have won substantial recognition for St. Louis, It is proposed now to put in an entire new electrical plant, new boilers and new elevators. The estimated cost of the proposed improvements, as made by the ‘Treasury Department, is $90,000, while that proposed by Representative Bartholdt ag- gregates only $50,000. Thus far no definite steps have been taken, but Representative Bartholdt will confer with Secretary Gage of the Treasury to-morrow or Friday and will then take such action as is deemed best to secure the changes needed at an early date. “We have under consideration two prop- ositions for the improvement of the Federal Building at St. Louis,” said Wallace H. Mills, assistant superinténdent of the Treasury, to-day. “I do not care to say just now which plan may be adopted. It is proposed to modernize the present plants by consolidating them. They are obsolete mow, aithough at the time they were put in they were up to date. The objection to using the old plant is that when we make euch an important change as this we de- gire to have it quite up to date. As for the entire plant we find that it would cost at least $90,000, but the advantages of such an dmprovement as this are obvious. If we Plans for Washing the Federal Build- ing and Illuminating It Sent to Washington. The Federal Building will be cleaned and brilliantly lighted. The dismal tomb on Olive street will be metamorphosed into a glowing structure— a great gem in the heart of a great city. Washington officials say the orders to clean and light the building will be issued if the requisition be made. Wednesday morning the requisition was forwarded. At the capital Congressmen Bartholdt and Pearce are ready to introduce a special appropriation bill should such a measure be deemed necessary. e St. Louis Merchants’ Exchange stood rready to act on the suggestion made by the Post-Dispatch, but prompt action by Federal officials and Representatives at Washington hag rendered this unnecessary. Said Mr Chris Sharp Wednesday morn- ing: | “There is now no necessity for a resolu- tion being passed by the Merchants’ Ex- change. Congressman Bartholdt has pre- pared a bill that will cover every feature, and it will be presented immediately.’’ Charles H. Smith, custodian of the Federal Building, Wednesday morning sent a com- ‘munication to Washington which calls at- tention to the condition of the government property here, and urges that money be ap- |propriated for the purpose of renovating the structure—exterior and interior, provid- ing better electric lighting equipment and better elevator service. The communication is on the lines laid install a new electric plant we will have | down by the Post-Dispatch and immediate power for light, exterior and interior, for electric elevator service, and can use the overplus for heating. To get a new plant we shall have to go to Congress. We could not take such a sum out of our annual appropriation for heat, light and power. We appreciate the conditions that exist in St. Louis and are heartily in sympathy with the effort to change them. We do not know yet which plan will be adopted.” Representative Bartholdt, who is follow- ing the matter and will introduce the nec- essary legislation in Congress, said to-day: “I have just receiyed a letter from the custodian. He told me that the Treasury Department has on file his estimates, made gome months ago, for a new electric plant, new boilers, new elevators and for paint- ing the second and third floors. We want new electric elevators placed in the center of the corridor and this can be done only by getting an entire new pliant. “J am thoroughly in sympathy with the efforts of the Post-Dispatch to make the building at least creditable to St. Louis, and just as soon as we find what is neces- gary I will present the proper measure in the House. This is what we must do: “Firat, get Secretary Gage to say whether he can-include the money needed for 4 new plant in his estimates; second, if he cannot do that, then introduce a special pill, get it before the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, of which I am a member, ard secure a favorable report. I think that $50,000. will probably be endugh, but I will consult the Treasury authorities before drawing the measure. “The Post-Dispatch has served a public good in thus drawing attention to and pointing out a remedy for the present in- tolerable and disgraceful conditions.” NION. é ’ = 4 7% 7m " Phe : 3 Mi action is requested. The Post-Dispatch urged the necessity for this work two weeks ago. The business men of St. Louls joined in the protest against the unsightly appearance of the building and demanded better treatment for St. Louis at the hands of the Federal Gov- ernment. The occupants of the building, of whom there are over 600, declared the structure.is so gloomy and dirty that it is impossible to work there with any degree of comfort. Their offices, they say, are ane py 4 lighted and they dislike to visit the uilding at night because of the darkness. The United States Judges, whose opin- ions may always be reckoned as ultra con- servative, condemned the existing condi- tions in unmeasured terms. Circuit Judge Amos Thayer remarked that the idea of cleaning the Federal Building seemed for- eign to the atthorities at Washington. They did not realize the imperative neces- sity of it. J udge Adams wae equally positive in his views. Postmaster Baumhoff, Chief Postoffice In- spector Dice and the District Attorneys emphasized the appeal of the other occu- pants of the buliding. Mr. Baumhoff told the Post-Dispatch that he would not walk by Ninth and Locust streets unaccompanied after dark unless forced by circumstances to do 60. “It is dangerous,” he said, “‘because there is no light there, and I believe a man could be robbed at that spot without any one knowing it.”’ Another official of the Postoffice Depart- ment stated that the stairways in the Fed- eral Building were never illumniated and that towards evening the festive thief could operate there without much fear of being molested. Confiressman Bartholdt sent a letter to | t »pealing the case to the federal court. That Custodian Smith, requesting him tc send es- timates of the improvements demanded 80 that he might present a bill covering them to Congress. Mr. Smith has yielded to the pressure and within 36 hours the requisition for 54 Louis will be before the Treasury officia 4. “l have figured,” said Mr. Smith, “that liant will cost between $15,000 and 000.

Auditor Mason and Comptroller Sturgeon rely upon Mr. Schnurmacher to guide them safely between the plain order-.of the Supreme Court and their duty, as seen from the standpoint of the city administration. Mr. Schnurmacher had not arrived at a decision Wednesday morning. The two other officials do not agree on the course to be Gs lggeemees While both of them staied that they would be guided by the advice of the city counselor, each expressed an individual opinion to the Post-D spatch. Auditor Mason declared in effect that he would not obey the order to audit the payrolls. He qualified this declaration by Saying that he would be obliged to decline to pay the salaries for the reason that the money placed in his hands by the comptroller for the payment of police sal- aries is insufficient to meet the drafts made on him by the police department and he prefaced the entire statement by say- ing he would act under the guidance of | the city counselor. Comptroller Sturgeon said his position was what he took every other official's position to be, that is, he would obey whatever mandate the supreme court should issue. Mayor Ziegenhein had no comment. to make. Street Commissioner’ Varrellman, who had no direct connection with the matter, voluntarily compla‘ned that should the decision of the Supreme Court be en- forced the money to meet the increased expense of the police department would be taken from the appropriations hereto- fore made for his department. He referred to the deplorable condition of the streets and said he might as well close up his department if it is intended to curtail ‘his disbursements. Comptroller Sturgeon stated that there 4 would. be a_ conference during the day at. which the Mayor, Mr. Mason, Mr. Schnur- macher and himself would be présent. The other gentlemen did not know of the proposed conference. It is inferred that this conference will be held, however, and that Mr. Schnurmacher’s opinion, tantamount to instructions, will be given. Mr. Schnurmacher received a copy of the Supreme Court's decision Wednesday morn- ne He at first declined to express him- self on the question, saying the public had no right to ask an attorney to ventilate his views on a matter nage in court. He was reminded that the police law had been passed upon by the courts of Missouri, and that unless he should take further action the matter was settled, hence there was nothihg pending. Mr. Schnurmacher re- ng that he would not be able to define is position, and state whether he would take further action until he had studied the opinign of the Supreme Court. Auditor Mason defined the duties of his office and stated his position in the matter of the police law clearly. He feelingly ex- pressed persons] regret that such a state of affairs should exist.as to oblige police- men to serve the city without being regu- larly paid. Mr. Mason said: “] shall act under the the guidance of the city counselor, Mr. Schnurmacher. | am simply the bookkeeper and cashier for the city of St. Louis, and as such I pay the bills that are properly incurred by the city. The funds for the payment of all bills are appropriated and placed to the lcredit of the various creditors in my de- ' partment, alternative but to abide by the appropria- | by the comptroller. I have no tions. “In the case of the police salaries the sum of $67,000 has been appropriated month- ly. The bills presented by the police de- artment exceeded this sum each month. ly only possible course was to return the payrolls, as I did, with the statement that the appropriation in my hands did not meet the bills. “Byom the view point of my office, the police department simply presented an over- draft of it’s account. 1 could not honor the overdraft. “T have not been served with an order of the Supreme Court in the mandamus proceedings. “Tf I am ordered fo audit the payrolls and pay the salariés,’I shali have to de- cline, for the appropriation in my depart- ment is not adequate to make the pay- ment.”’ ” Neither the Police Board nor Harry B. Hawes, President of the Police Board, will take any action on top of the decision of the Supreme Court in the police law case. Mr. Hawes said Wednesday: “Neither the Police Board nor myself will take any steps. because there are none which we can take, The subject is entirely out of our hands. The issue is be- tween the Supreme Court and City Audi- tor Mason. Nothing will be done for ten days. The city has that long in which to move for a rehearing. At the end of ten days the Supreme Court will maké the mandamus peremptory and Auditor Mason will have tojobeéy its mandate or be in contempt ThefSupreme Court has a way of sending people to jail who are in contempt and xeopens them there until they purge themselves of it. “The he f is not barred from appealing to the United States Supreme Court, but it can safely be said that this will not be done. The federal question raised by City Counselor Schnurmacher is trivial. He con- tends that the law Its in conflict with the federal law because, as he claims, under it the city is deprived of something with- out due process of law. The Supreme Court ridicules this gontention and all lawyers laughed at it when it was made by the city counselor, IN order to appeal the case it would be necessary to get a Justice of the Supreme Court to issue a writ, and tn vie of the fact that the ruling was unanimous ft is hardly conceivable that | one of them will do it. “There could be only one object in ap- would be to further vex and demoralize the Police Department for political rea- sons.” NO JURY YET SECURED. it will tuke bout $500 to wash the Federal | Attorney Johnson of St. Louis So Far Bullding, while the addition to the electric | Special to the Post-Dispatch Not Prominent in the Case. ‘ VIPBNNA, Ill, Dec. 6.—The third day of the famous Lauder murder trial in the’ Cir- cvit Court of Johnson County, brought here .. of venue from Williamsou -~ 4 8 : ne ¢ ‘ ‘ 7 2 As 4 : Me if SS , 6%; the £ tien dea, >)4 a as : a a ; ot ', te - hn Lagig Oe ; at a % | | TRANS FERS) PO ANY PART OF THE THE CONDUCTOR.

SHE IS NOW HELD IN HIGH ES- TEEM. Police Have Received an Important Letter Bearing on the Case— One Man “Wanted as a Witness, Mrs. Belle Harrison, who says she was abducted and kept away from home 12 days, is so far recovered as to supply additional] details in her wonderful story. | $She says she now remembers the sur- roundings of the place where she was cap. |. tured and believes she would be able to drive over the route to the house wherein she was imprisoned. Her family is anxious that ehe should do this, and she will he taken out in a carriage as soon as Dr. Mayfield gives his corfsent. Mrs. Harrison’s sister, Mrs, Burnett, said to the Post-Dispatch Wednesday morning that her sister’s feelings against at least one of her captors had undergone a change. “Why," said Mrs. Burnett, “Belle tells us that she wouldn't do anything to injure the woman who was left in charge of her for the world. if she had thousands of dollars she would give it to this woman, be- cause she believes she saved her life. She says she loves this woman because of her gentleness and kindnss to her while she was a prisoner.”’ This is the same person whom Mrs. Har.- rison described as “an ugly old woman” on the night she returned home: the same woman who, according to her original story, gave her nothing to eat except a little mush and milk in the morning. Mrs. Burnett still hints at prosecutions, but is careful to make it clear that no steps w'll be taken against this good, kind wom- an whom Mrs. .Harrison loves; this wom- an, who in the original story, threw the black cloth over Mrs. Harrison's head when she was abducted. According to Mrs. Burnett the police have a letter which may have an import- ant bearing on the case. This letter was received sohrtly after Mrs. Harrison's dis- appearance and sa‘d she would return home in a week. When asked whose sig- nature was on the letter Mrs. Burnett said: “It will be time enough to speak when we find out where she is.”’ Continuing she said: “My sister has iven us a deta led description of the place rom whence she was abducted. Her de- scription was so clear that my brother went right to the spot and found every- thing just as she said it was. It is about four blocks of north of Easton avenue and two or three blocks west of Vande- venter avenue. She now says there were @ man, a boy and a woman in the wagon when she first saw it. It was standing in an alley Seger | east. She was picking her Way agross the muddy alley when the man jumped out, and a minute jiater a cloth was thrown over her head. The Wagon was a co'g’ed one with the sides closed in and the horse was a bay.”’ At this moment a covered wagon, drawn by a bay, mores, passed the Harrison res'- dence. hen Mrs. Burnett saw it she said excitedly: “There, that’s the kind of a wagon it was. The horse ts the same color .too. It might be the same wagon. I have read about pedple coming back and hanging about the scene of their crimes. ‘There is one man who ought to come forward and tell what he knows. Belle says that last Saturday night, when she was on the platform at Euclid avenue, waiting for a caP, a man with a buggy drove up and down the street and seemed to pe watching her closely. Unless. this man was in the conspiracy there is no reason why he should not come forward. He must know from what direction Belle came on that night.’ Charles Hitchcock has not returned % ping” Pa - “ys hs - ee ss eh ‘ s it om $F TAA : ‘Sp, Poe 1g oe, > wt e : - ¥ ‘ i " s es 3, cm + 2 wR ry “ae ; 9 > 4 das hog xr sees him, | mated that she had gone away with some other man.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. | NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Iin>--“The Great Ruby,” played last year by Miss Ada Rehan and the Daly Company, Miss Rehan if character created a great scandal by ac- house party of stealing her jewels and laces. Detectives were put to work on the mystery and one hid in close proximity to her bedroom door. Soon she walked for asleep, paraded through the house, candle in hand; went to an old desk and deposited therein a package, The desk was ransacked by the detective and it was found to be a veritable treasure trove. The somnam- bulist had been robbing herself and hiding the swag. Mrs. Mary Coleman of Jersey City, whose husband died recently, came into possession a few days azo of $1900 insurance money. She was undecided whether to place it in a bank or to keep it in her flat. Mean- while she secreted it in a bureau drawer. Mrs. Coleman went to Police Headquar- ters dn Monday morning in a high state of excitement. She revorted the losa of a $1009 gold certificate. Detective Doyle was put on the case. After searching Mrs, Coleman’s apartments he closely questioned the woman. Bs. “Have you dreamed of the money either before or sincé you missed it?” he asked. Mrs. Coleman said that in a dream she had seen a man take the money from the bureau drawer and disappear through an open window. “Are you eae somnambuiist?’' queried the detective. Mrs. Coleman had no recollectf6n of ever having walked in her sleep. “The loss is agitating you,” said the de. tective, and he advised Mrs. Coleman to lie down and sleep. “You night perhaps dream of the money again,’”’ he continued. “You might then secure another clew.”’ Doyle was about to start for Mrs, Doyle’s house yesterday morning, when the widow entered headquarters, her face beaming. Gleefully she exhibited the $1000 certifi- cate. She had followed Detective Doyle’s instructions, During the right she got out of bed and found the missing certificate in a corner of the roem under the carpet. She was asleep at the time and did not awake until late in the morning. She wes lying on the floor with the certificate in one hand and the other holding an up- turned corner of a strip of carpet.

MAYSVILLE,. Ky.. Dec. 6.—Dick Cole- man, the negro who murdered Mrs. Lush- brook, was taken from jail there to-day by a mob of 3000 men, tied to a tree and “purned. . Coleman arrived from Covington at 10:20 this morning under a special guard of @eputies sworn in by the Sheriff, including Detective Fitzgerald, Constable Dawson, Chief of Police Donovan, all the police force and two deputy sheriffs. When they arrived at the Courthouse they were met by a mob of fully 1000 people, headed by James Lushbrook, the husband of the murdered woman, and went immediately up Second street through the central portion of the city, followed by a mob: of fully 5000 - persons. All was done that was possible by the sheriff and guard to prevent a lynching, but in the face of such a mob of people irrespettive of color, their efforts were use- less. | | The mob grabbed Coleman and threw a rope over his head~and took him to a point above the city. The negro could be heard, above the cries of the mob, piead- } ing for his. life. The mob took him to a small hollow near the railroad, where they bound him tight- ly to a yorng tree. Then they heaped @ huge pile of brush, wood and timber around him and fired the stack. At this point someone stuck Coleman with a knife. The bladé penetrated the negro’s eyes, and befdre the fire had got under full headway the negro was dead. The mob remained about the body and until the clothing and part of the negro's flesh was burned off. Then the people dis- persed. No arrests have been made. Persons who were near the burning negro say that blue vitriol and cayenne pepper were thrown into his eyes. He was hooted and glared at by thousands of people stand- ing on the edge of the pit. Many women were present. He died at 10:55 a. m., Some say he was horribly mutilated. Just before he died he rose to a sitting posture and said: “If you take the fire away I want to say something.’’ Then’ he sank back and died. . Coleman was burned near the spot where Charles Collins was hanged 40 years ago for a similar offense. The place is now used for cricket grounds, It is already announced that Judge Har- beson will call a special grandjury at THE HORRIBLE SCENE NEAR MAYSVILLE = WITNESSED BY OVER 5000 PERSONS Coleman Had Been Brought There From Covington > 296 f This Morning for Trial, When the Mob Over- — ‘y powered the Sheriff’s Officers and ae Dragged Him to His Death. ; a once to consider charges against the lead ers of the mob to-day. ee?

The hay is put up in bales cylindrical in form, but the size and shape of the. old- fashioned nail keg, or 18 inches high and of the same Blashaten. When baled in this shape the hay ig as hard 4s a board. The bales weigh about 145 pounds. The hay is ‘handed out’”’ in pancake form, ancakes, of layers, which make up the bales, are about three-fourths of an ineh thick. ‘The most compact bale of hay put up by the old style requires about 160 cubic feet space per ton. | takes up only #@ cubic feet space per wn singular combination of circumstances is afforded at the baling plant fn Brooklyn. The Gontractor is tising Canadian hay, baled in.the old 6quare fashion in Canada, The old bales are torn*to pieces and fed into the top of the six compressors. About half the product cf the Brooklyn plant goes to. South Affica for use in the army, wich the Boers, while the other, half anila for use by Lawton and Mac- Arthur's use. - The good thing about this new bale is that a Mule can carry two 5652- pound bales and after he is fed off them for two or three days there is enough left for a cavalrytian to usé as & miniature ram- peat The hay is packed so tight that a yullet would not go far into it.

Since tliat time the number had been reduced to be-' tween 150,000 and 175,000.

Dockery, is not to be filled by the selection of a Missourian. Spaker Henderson has so notified a mem- ber of the Missouri delegation. . The reason why the State.is to.vlose the prestige of representation on this important commit- teo is that it has two Democratic aspirants for the place—Representative W.S.'Cowherd bf the Fifth District.and Representative M. -Benton, Fifteenth District. For a pre- oh of his inability to de¢ide between the ‘two the Speaker is going to give the cov- -eted place to another State. Behind this loss of representation on the big committee ts a story of delegation ‘dif- ferences -and individual ambitions.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—For pub- lication in the Post-Dispatch, Brig- ham H. Roberts gave your corre- spondent the following signed state- nient: The action of the House im my case Was not a surprise to me. Th: whole matter was evidently pre- judged and the minds of members made up to follow the course that had been outlined. “When the ques- tion comes to be considered by mem- bers of the House after the pressure , of public opinion is removed I think the case will stand as a vicious vio- . lation of the well-established prece- dents which have fixed the rules of the House. The foundation is now ' laid for confusion, chaos and revolu- tlon in the organization of the House ‘ and the rights of members therein. A precedent has been established which will yet excuse the same de- ‘nial .of rights to a Roman Catho- lic, a Presbyterian, an agnostic or any one who may be unfortunate enough to stand under condemna- tlon of a popular sentiment lashed into a-frenzy by misrepresentation d falsehood, as in my instance. I was met at the very bar of the House and denied the protection granted by the rules of that body and the Constitution of the United States because I was a member of ‘an unpopular church, against which _ there rests a sectarian hate. The matter of denying me the right to be sworn in is in itself not a very | important matter, so far as af- _ fecting me personally is concerned, but it is a fact that the right of representation of a sovereign State has been denied by this action to-day. I have not yet formed any plans concerning. what course I will follow before the comaittee. I shall de- vote my attention to it assiduously, for by no means do I consider my ‘' case lost. .. “ft Fe o&) BRIGHAM H. ROBERTS, Representative-Eiect from Utah.

Rob- erts, a RKepresentative-elect to the Fifty-sixth ress from the State of Utah, is ineligible to a seat in the House of Representatives; and, Whereas, Such a charge is made through a member of the House on his responsibility as such member, and on the basis, as he asserts, of public records, affidavits apd papers evi- dencing such ineligibility: Resolved, That the question of the prima fa- _ cle right of Brigham H.

He urged that the case go to the judiciary committee, where it could be in- vestigated, He warned the Republican side that this was a*“serious question. If the people of Utah were gullty of violating the compact with the Union, what of the President who had appointed to life posi- tions in Utah men ehargeable with the same offenses? “IT hold it as an,honor,”’ will be quoted lo in Utah as one who helped to settle that question on the floor of the constitutional convention.

The Outcome Will Hinge Largely on the Construction Put Upon the Law. FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 6.—It is likely that all of to-day will be taken up by ar- giment in the contested election cases. Arguments will be heard on two proposi- tions, the chief subject being tMe right of the commissioners to go behind the certl- fieéd election returns for Governor and Lieu- tenant-Governor, when sitting as a con- testing board, and the right of the commis- sioners to receive amended returns. Yes- terday the Democrats allowed without com- ment the vote of Neleon County to be tabu- lated, but it was for the purpose of mak- ing a hard fight upon it later on. This is the county where the judges of election certified to the casting of ballots for W. P. Taylor instead of W. 8. Taylor, the Repmb- lican candidate. They filed a second certifi- cate correcting the error. And this has now been accepted by the anvassing Board. The Democrats will claim that this has established a precedent under which amended returns be received, and expect to bring in enough amended certificates from other counties to overcome the Republican plurality. The Republicans will contend, owever, that the first return of Nelson County was not a return at all as far as the Republican candidate was concerned. There’ was no such candidate as W. P. Tay- lor, and a certification of votes for each in- dividual can in no way, they will assert, prejudice the certificate filed giving the votes to W. 8. Taylor. They will make a hard fight on the proposition that the certificate for W. 8S. Taylor was an original document, the other amounting to nothing. In the fight over the right to go behind the returns the contest will be made upon the construction of the election law. Judge Hargis will make the leading argument for the Democrats and A. P. Humphrey of Louisville for the Republicans. There will be three arguments on each side. Election Commissioner Ellis said that he had hopes the entire matter will be cleared up to-day, but the lawyers are of a different opinion and unless a time limit is put on the argu- ments, the prepondérance of evidence seems to be iwth the lawyers. The commission- ers sitting as a contest board met at 10 o’clock in the State Senate chamber. In deciding the course of argument, it was arranged that the Democratic attorney should have the close. The Republicans agreed to open and D. W. Farleigh, for their side, brought up the question that the board had no right to go behind the returns of the county canvassing boards. He claimed that no State in the Union per- mitted such action, saying that the matter had been decided in all the courts of the United States from the Supreme Court of the nation down. Mr. Farleigh apologized to the court for going into elementary law, but he declared that the questions before the board was of such a plain and simple nature that it was necessary. He then quoted authorities to support his position. If it had been the intent of the statute, he claimed, that the canvassing board had the right to go behind the returns, why should there have been anything in the statutes roviding for the creation of a contesting oard? In answer to a question Mr. Farleigh entered upon a long argument designed to porve that the decisions did not show that the Court of Appeals had decided that can- vassing boards had judicial power. Commissioner Ellis asked Mr. Farleigh if in cases where a canvassing board had positive knowledge that the returns were absolutely void, the board was, under the State statute, without power to appiy any remedy. “Absolutely so, in my judgment,’ was the reply. PROSECUTION OF DOC SWEENEY His Case Continued in Court of Correc- tion to Dec. 26. The case of John, allas ‘‘Doc’’ Sweeney, charged with assaulting a newspaper re- porter in the Four Courts building two weeks ago, was continued in the Court of Criminal Correction until Deeember 26. Sweeney’s attorney wanted the assault case dismissed on the ground that Sweeney had been tried on practically the same charge in the police court when a dis- turbance of the peace was alleged. The police court justice has the case under ad- visement, and a continuance was agreed to in order that the disturbance case might be disposed of before the other case was tried. ee — A CATTLEMAN DISAPPEARED.

For many years it has been supposed that the only absolutely sure cure for piles will be sold at the fair in order to secure. iss | —— - was by surgical operation, but the danger to life and the pain and expense has been so great that many thousands suffer for years rather than submit to this Jast re- sort: or they seek the temporary relief in the many remedies claimed to relieve piles and rectal troubles, salves, oint- ments and similar simple remedies which give only slight and very temporary relief. : A new preparation which is painless and harmless, but which affords immedi- ate relief and in many cases a complete cure in a very short time, is sold by drug- ists under the name of Pyramid Pile ure. It is in suppository form used at night and its regular use has cured thousands of obstinate, long standing cases, and it seems to be equally effective in all the various forms of piles, whether itching, bleeding or protruding. ney The Pyramid Pile Cure allays the in- flammation and intolerable itching, re- duces the tumors, and its astringent prop- erties cause the enlarged biood vessels to contract to a normal, healthy condi- tron. , A Baltimore gentleman relates his ex- perience with the Pyramid Pile Cure in these words: “It affords me unusual pleasure to add my endorsement to those of others rela- tive to your really wonderiul pile remedy. I was a sufferer ior years until told by a fellow salesman of the Pyramid Pile Cure. It has entirely cured me and cheerfully send this for oe if you wish to use it in that direction.

The enemy, who were estimated at 800 men and were commanded by Gen. Mino, came from the outskirts of the town to the port. The fighting was from house to house, and al- most from hand to hand. The Americans captured 84 rifles and several prisoners. Col, Bisbee is sending reinforcements to Vigan on board the gunboat Wheeling. Col.

If the people elected the Senate of the United States, would there be so many millionaires in it? When Gen. Lord Roberts takes his side-whiskers to South Africa, British strategy may look up a little. Son Hay may be of great service to John Bull at Pretoria. John is in great need of al) sorts of help in South Africa just now. The citizen who orders his coal in wéather that isnot severe prevents suffering for others and. often saves. himself incon- venience. In the House the fastest talker is Dalsell; in the Senate, Wolcott. This may be due to the fact’ that there are no la- dies in Congress. There must be something feline in the constitution of Gen, Joubert. No General has ever been killed so often in the British dispatches. When so many men are getting a divorce from_ one, wife, the foes of polygamy do not see why Mr. Roberts cannot spare one or two of his three help-meets.

WASHINGON, Dec. 6.—In his report to Tongress, Secretary Gage of the Trea- eury Department says that the revenunes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1899, were $610,99%,004.35; total expenditures, $700,993,- 664.67, showing a deficit of $89,111,559.67. As compared with the fiscal year 1898, the receipts for 1899 increased $116,648,050.00, a@nd there was an increase of $161,703,597.05 im expenditures, of this increase $20,000,000 ‘went to Spain for the Philippines and an - gncrease of $556,332 was in the War Depart- ment ‘ne total appropriation asked for the coming year is $685,853,448.78. On this point the Secretary says: i ince the eXpenditures of the current fis- ‘eal year will probabiy not exceed $600,998, - 112 , it is confiiently be.ieved that Congress, _.in reviewing the requirements of tse var- fous executive departments for the fiscal year 1901, now placed at $685,853,448.78, wiil to able to reduce the estimaies submitted to such a int-as will bring expenditures within the estimated revenues of $66/,773,- 253.92, and leave in fact a tair and substan- tial margin for surplus. The transaction of the fiscal year, as shown by the report of the Treasurer of the United States, were of unusual .magni- tude ,the net ordinary receipts having been exceeded in any like period but once, in 1866, and the net ordinary expenditures but thrice, in 1863, 1864, end 186. Inclusive of the amounts involved in the issue and Fre- -@emption of bonds, notes, and certificates, the gross receipts, under warrant, were 088,461,340.18, and the gross expenditures 222,148.83. There was, in consequence, @n addition of $92,229,191.35 to the general * Treasury balance, which increased from $775,751,368.11 to $867,980,059.46. These opera- |tion were conducted through the offices (of the Treasury, numbering 10, those of the mint, increased during the year from 11 to os 72, and the depository banks, of which there Were 172 at the beginning of the year and at the close.

Inclusive of the » . mominations of paper, the total increase of the acti circulation, reckoned on _ the Same basis, was $125,751,014. In the fiscal year the offices of the easury paid out $42,532,296 in standard Iver dollars, an increase of $1,700,147 over the previous year. The receipts in the @ year were $37.581,040, a decrease of 426,894. By September 30 the continued demand for these coins carried the total in circulation to $68,755,248, the highest amount ever reached. Similar activity in the call for subsidiary silver coins, of which the Treasury received $36,593,199 and paid out $40,189,375 during the.same period, gradu- ally reduced the Treasury holdings. until a@t the close of the year only $6,070,497 re- mained on hand. In the ensuling three months continuance of the demand de- creased the Treasury stock to $2,447,571. The amount &timated to be in circulation on the 30th of September was $74,045,762. Thereceipts of gold at New York from stoms amounted for the fiscal year to 978.5 per cent of the whole, as compared with 2.4 per cent for 1898. For the first guarter of 1900 they rose to 84.5 per cent. th the aggregate operations of the Treas- ury, the receipts of gold in 1899 amounted $7.6 per cent of the whole ,and the dis- rsemnents to 35.37, as compared wth 10.03 ‘and 11.83, toy eile in 1898. For the p> gpl ended September'30, the percentage gold receipts was 38.5 and of the dis- birsements 35.2.

On the latter date 3689 banks were in operation, 1247 had been placed in voinu- tray liquidation by shareholders and 365 placed in the charge of receivers. On June 30, 1898, there were 3590 banks in existence, showing a net loss during the year of one bank. During the past fiscal year 73 banks were organized and 67 placed in voluntary liquidation and eight in charge of receivers. The authorized capital stock of the banks on June 30 last was $607,871,245, and on June 30, 1898, $630,025,29, showing a decrease dur- ing the year of $22,154, The national bank circulation outstanding on June 30, 1899, aggregated $241,268,696, of which $206,- 264,004 was secured by bonds on deposit with the Treasurer of the United States and $36,- 004,602 by lawful money deposited on ac- count of liquidating and insolvent associa- tions and those reducing circulation. The increase of circulation during the year was $13, 451, 994. During the past fiscal year 13 national bands, with capital aggregating $2,006,000, were placed in charge of receivers. Subse- quently it appeared, however, that of this number five were solvent, two of them be- ing permitted to go into voluntary liquida- tion and three resumed business. This re- duced the number of insolvent banks to eight, with capital aggregating $750,000 _teports of condition were received from 3383 national banks on April 5, at which time their resources aggregated $4,639,138,- 160.36, an increase since May 6, 1898, of $769,171,302.15. The paid-in capital stock ag gregated $607,262,570; surplus fund, $246,169, . 0; individual deposits, $2,437,223,420.29: and bank deposits, $932,348,264.76. The iIn- crease in individual and bank deposits dur- ing the year was $437,914,981.33 and $262,500,- 580.69, respectively. During the same pe- riod the banks increased their specie hold- ings $46,979,780,05. The interest-bearing debt July 1, 1899, in- cluded unmatured United States bonds out- standing in the amount of $1,046,010,920. This is an increase of $198,684,970 over the amount Oltstanding July 1, 1898, and is caused by the issue of the 3 per cent ten-twenty loan authorized by act of Congress proved June 13, 1898, amounting to $198,678,720, and by the conversion of refundin of the act of Feb. 26, 1879, into nds of the 4 per cent loan of 1907, amounting, principal aid interest, to $6260. he total amount of refunding certifi- cates Outstanding July 1, 1899, was $37,830, a decrease of $3690 during the last fiscal year. As the amount of these certificates out- standing is small, and as there is no pro- vision of law for their redemption except by conversion in sums of $50 and multiples thereof into the bonds of the 4 per cent loan of 1907, it is n recommended that Congress limit the t within which such certificates may be converted into bonds. It is also recommended that the Secretary of the Treasury be authorzed to redeem any of such certificates in cash, on presen- tation, and to pay the accrued interest thereon to date of redemption. The total imports of merchandise during the year were $697,148,489, as compared with $616,089,664 in the fiscal year 1898, and 3764,- 730,412 in the fiscal year of 1897, being less than in any fiscal year since 1887, exce 189%, when importations were being held back to obtain advantage of an expected reduction in tariff, and in 1898, when they were abnormally tow because of excessive importations in the preceding year in an- ticipation of an increased tari. portations 1809 were $1,227,023,302, es ee $1,231,482,330 in the fiscal year 1598, and $1,050,993.556 in 1897. being the fourth year in our history in which the exports ex- ceeded $1,000,000,000, and falling but $4,459,- 028 below those of the phenomenal year 1598, when the supply of breadetuffs abroad was unusually short, and that of the United States unusually large. The total of our foreign commerce for the fiscal year 1899 thus etands ait $1,924,171,791, or $66,491,181 greater than in any preceding year.

Chinese in transit\wswally proceed to Mexico; and many of them have attempted thence to re-enter the Unfted States. The arrest 131 Chinese persons on the Mexican frontier for deportation indicates that prop- er efforts have been made to prevent such irregularitites. — The total number of Chinese arrested for deportation in the fiscal year was 566. During the same period 192 Chinese were de- orted by legal process, at a total cost of 9,457.41, an average cost of $101.0 per capita, which. included transportation to a Chinese port.

All physicians agree that the element of faith hes a great deal to do In the cure of diseage. Firm belief ‘and confidence in a family physician, or the same confidence and faith in a patent medi. | cine have produced remarkable cures in all ages. This is especially true inGhervous troubles, and | flo field offers so prolific a harvest for the quack | and chariatan as the diseases arising from a wea) or run-down nervous system. , Nevertheless, the most cominon of all diseases, indigestion and~stomach troubles, which in turn cause nervous diseases, heart troubles, consump- tion, and loss of flesh, require something be & for you, ncrease Mere faith will hot digest your food will not give you an appetite, will not | your flesh and strengthen your nerves and heart, but Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will do these things because they are ‘composed of the elements of di- gestion, they contain the juices, acids and pep- tones necessary to the digestion and assimilation me food.

Common soda is all right in [ts place, and in- dispensable in the kitchen and for cooking and wasbing purposes, but it was never intended for & medicine, and people who use it as such will some dey regret it. We'refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thou- sands of people practice almost daily, and one which is fraught with danger; moreover, the soda only gives temporary relief, and in the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse. The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels, and cases are on record where it accumulated in the intestives, causing death by inflammation or peritonitis. Rr. Harlanson recommends as‘the safest and surest cure for gour stomach (acid dyspesia) an ex- cellent preparation sold by druggists urder the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. -These tab- lets are large, 20-grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste, and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, ‘and when taken after meals they digest the food per- fectly and promptly before it bas had time to fer- ment, sour and poison the blood and nervous sys- tem. Dr. Wuerth states that be invariably uses Stuart's | Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach de- rangements, and finds them a certain cure, not only for sour stomach, but, by promptly digesting the food, they create a healthy appetite, increase flesh ahd strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not a cathartic, but intended only for stomach diseases and weakness, and wiil found relieble in any stomach trouble except. cancer of the stomach.

Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. ONLY ONE WAY ‘ TO PURIFY THE BLOOD, INCREASE FLESH AND STRENGTH AND TO CURE INDIGESTION. SECRET PATENT MEDICINES WIL NOT DO IT. | There Is a Simpler and Better Way. There is only one way to purify the blood, only one way to increase flesh, and that is through the stomach and digestive organs. Why? Because the stomach and digestive organs make blood and flesh, bone, nerves, and sinew. Did you ever see a person blessed with a healthy, vigorous stomach and digestion who had impure blood, muddy, sallow complexion, or who bad weak nerves, sleepless nights and the thousand and one pains and aches arising from poor digestion? No, because perfect di- gestion converts the food eaten into pure blood, strong nerves, and muscles, and all the flesh a person needs to have for health, symmetry and autv. Every person knows whether or not his or her digestion is what it should be but every person does not know what is the safest and best way to , secure and preserve a bealthy condition of the di- | gestlye organs. It ia not done by the use of dny wonderful t patent medicine, but by the use of certain barmiess digestive principles, which, taken. at meals, will digest the food amyway, re- gardless of the weak condition of the stomacn. Dr. Brooks recommends a combination of vege- table essences, {rait salts, pure aseptic pepsin, and Golden Seal, prepared in convenient tahidt form and sold by druggists everywhere under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These pleasant tasting tablets are to be dissolved in the mouth after each meal, and, mingling in the food in the stomach, digest it perfectly. There is nothing wonderful about this. Any physician or chemist knows that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do this because repeatedly tested and proved, and thousands of cured dyspeptics bave found It to be true also. Dr. Harlandson states that these tablets increase flesh because they digest tesh-forming food like eges, meat, and drdimary everyday food; for the game reason they purify the biood and strengthen weak nerves. In Do .other way can it be déne, be- cause flesh, blood, and nerves afe obtained from ibe food we eat. Dr. Jennison once stated that be believed a 50-cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets would give more real benefit than 94) worth of ordinary doctor's fees. These tablets may be found at any. drug store. HEART DISEASE. SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.

He Declares His Wife Is Extravagant Beyond Reason—She Says He “Stinted” and Neg- lected Her. A divorce case of great interest to society is being tried im Judge Ferriss’ division of *the Circuit Cour® The piaintiff is Mrs. Har- riet L, Steele. William H. Steele, a wealthy lumberman with a business on North . Broadway, is the defendant. The trial begum Wednesday and is being 80 warmly contésted that it will probably last through Thursday. The piaintiff nor only seeks divorce, but also .#Aks that she ) awarded alimony suited to her condition life. The defendant only asks that she refused a divorce, or, if it is granted, he be not required to pay alimony. r. and mrs. pteeie were married April 19, 1892. The petition alleges that the sep- ara occurred in October, 1898 The plaintift charges that during the whole of her married life the detendant heaped such indiguities upon her as to make living with him an impossibi:ity. She avers tnat he etinted her in aliowances of money and declined to support her in that condition to which she had been accustomed. She claims he repeatedly showed an aver- givn to ner and toid her frequently that he knew of many women who were more charming ard pleasing to look upon than ete. He threatened to leave her, she says, atid when she had been away ai a sea-side resort for several months, he betrayed a decided coldness toward her upon her re- turn and refused to stay in the same house with her. She charges that he calied her “a deadbeat,”” said she was extravagant and humiliated her by declining to pay the Hs which she had contracted. The defendant denies all these allegations. He soya the representation. to the court that he stunted her in allowances of money is untrue, as he provided her with ample funds to buy everything reasonable. He its that he did not give her all the money she asked for, but he declares that, if he had done so, he would have bank- rupted himself. He averg that the only ti he ever mentioned the word ‘‘dead- "to her was when she demanded that he buy her horses and carriages and em- footmen and hostlers; whereupon he er he would become a deadbeat if he attempted to gratify even half of her extravagant desires. It is charged by the defendant that the plainti@® used a considerable portion of the allowances he. made to her in paying pre- sage on insurance policies on the life of y ok Coghlan, her first husband, who had pane Syorved from her. ‘ it He charges:that nly submitted to her in this con- duct, SO provided her married daugh- ters with an elegant home.

The first witness at tlie trial was Sister Eatelle Mullan, who has charge of the in- ebriate ward at St. Vincent’s. She testi- fied that she had treated Mr. Steele three times and that he had been under the in- fiuence of liquor each time when he was received at the hospital.

New York. a TIS NOT A RAILROAD WIGGINS FERRY CO.’S SUOCESS- FUL PLEADING. FELLOW: SERVANT LAW FAILS. Judge Withrow’s Construction Relieves the Defendant Company From Its Operations. Judge Withrow, in the case of Mary M. Hart against the Wiggins Ferry Co.,, laid down an important ruling Wednesday. on the interpretation of the Missouri fellow- servant statute. The plaintiff sought to recover $6000 from the defendant for the death of her hus- band, which, it was alleged, was caused by the negligence of a feilow-employe. The defendant demurred to the petition, taking tne ground Unat. it Was not :iable under the common law itor the death of an employe when caused through the reg- ligence of another empioye, and tnat tne | feilow-servant law, since if is appticabie | exclusively to raijroads, could not be charged against ig because it is not 4 rall- read ‘corporation’ aitnough it operates Switches in St. Louis. Judge. Witnrow sustained the defendant's se regan In upholding the demurrer, he said: The law of,1897 concerning fellow servants only applies to railroad corporations ownlng or operating a railroad in this State, and it is not alleged in the petition that the de- fendant is a-railroad corporation, or that it owns a railroad, or that it is authorized by its charter to own or operate a railroad. While it is alleged that the defen@ant is a corpora- tion carrying on business as a common car- rier, and that it was operating a steam rail- way line at the time in question, it does nat appear that, said railroad was built or ever owned. or operated by a railroad corporation. The fellow servant act of 1897 is in derogation of the common law, and, therefore, is not to be extended by implication or construction. Sec- _tion 6570, Vol. 2, R. 8S., Mo., 1889, proyides that ‘‘words and phrases shall be taken in their plain or ordinary and usual sense.’’ Where words used in a statute are clear and unani- biguous there is no room left for construction or interpretation. It is only where the phrase- ology 4n act is amvbiguous tbat a resort may be had to the intention of the Legislature to aid in its conatruction. It is the duty of the courts to interpret the! laws as they find them; to accord the words their ordinary significance, and not to search for occult and strained>constructions. If the Legislature had intended the act of 1897 to em- brace lessees or other persons or corporations owning or operating a railread, it would have 80 expressed itself. It has aot done so.

One of Revenue Collector Grenner’s Deputies Sentenced at Hannibal for Stealing Government Money. Arnold Tuchschmidt, charged with em- bezzling government funds, wae taken from jail Wednesday morning by Deputy United States Marshal Watson and escorted to the | Federal Building, where he was released ¢n bond. The bond was signed by Mrs. C. Diedrich of 2218 St. Louis avenue and is for Mrs. Diedrich swore that she has reai estate valued at $10,000, and in addi- tion has large peonrlntary interests in a shoe company, She is a widow. Tuchschmidt seemed happy over his re- lease and shook hands with the Commis- sioner and District Attorneys, He still refuses to discuss his case and seems to think it doesn’t amount to much, « is thinner, if any there: after his con- nement in jail, but his face is as ruddy and full as ever. He is glad, he says, that he has been enabled to spend Christmas with his family. Explicit orders have been issued to Col- lector Grenner to count daily and check against the cashier’s records the revenue stamps of which he is the official custodian, Blanks for that purpose have just been received from Washington. It \s also stat- ed that an efhtirely new system of book- keepink, which will prevent a repetition of _ a machmmlat incdent, will be inaugu- rated. The investigation of Tuchschmidt’s rec- ords, now in progress under the direction of Treasury Inspector Gavett, has disclosed the fact, it is said, that old methods‘ have been in vogue in the Internal Revenue De- partment. Tuchschmidt’s records are so badly cor- fused that the inspector is encountering endless difficulty in unraveling them. He was absolute master of his books and the only. check against them was the trial balance, prepared monthly by the chief deputy. . When Tuchschmidt’s shortage was dis- covered ‘the Post-Dispatch showed that he had free access to the government moneys and had; in fact, used them at will. It is known that Collector Grenne® nor any of his deputies examined his accounts, but rather depended on the check made oc- casionally by representatives of the Treas- The inspectors, fit is claimed, rested under the belief.that the stamps were counted daily and consequently merely ‘Werified the Accountants declare it would have been impossible for Tuchschmidt to have taken a dollAr if this system had been followed. The Post-Dis- paich called attention to the fact that in the Subtreasury millions of dollars are counted daily by a single teller and it is conceded that paper currency is as hard to count as stamps. Mr. Gavett was asked about the matter. “Why, certainly,” he said, ‘the revenue départment is supposed to count the stamps daily. It was by comparing the amount of stamps on hand with. the cash on deposit that I learned of the discrep- ancy,’ It now appears that Tuchschmidt used at least $2500 of the Government money every month. He held it out for a period af W days or. longer. What he did with itis a It forma the crucial point in the investigation. . Inspector Gavett stated that he could not. discuss that feature of the case at present. He has gone over Tuchschmidt’s accounts as far back as July, and in each month it is authoritatively said he has found large discrepancies. He was at work un- til nearly 2 o’clock Wednesday morning. He says the investigation is going along smoothly, and is reluctant to discuss the de- tails in any way. Qne of the deputy collectors stated to the Post-Dispatch that so far as he was aware the stamps were never before count- ed daily in any of the internal revenue of- fices. e says that in his opinion the rule is a new one and was brought about by the exposures in the Tuchschmidt shortage He said it is more difficult to count rev- enue stamps than currency, because there are alWays many stamps missing from the center of a lot. They are apportioned out in various denominations and each is kept in amounts ranging from $100 to $10,000. The echo of another shortage in the of- fice of Internal Revenue Collector Grener was heard at Hannibal, Tuesday, when Lew Chase was placed on trial before Judge Adams, charged with the embezzle- ment of Government funds while acting as a deputy internal revenue collector. Chase was found guilty and sentenced ‘to one year in prison. After the jury returned a verdict. the prisoner was called before Judge .Adams and asked is-he had any’ statement to make. He replied that he thought he was entitled to clemency. The court then lectured him severely and deciared that stealing in Government of- fices had to stop. The amount of Chase's net peculations is said not tO have ex- ceeded $40. The prosecution was in charge of District Attorney Edward A. Rozier. FRANCHISE APPLICATIONS.

The blaze probably started from a spark from a‘ Belt line locomotive, which passed under the bridge just’ as the wagon, in charge of George Cullinane, was crossing Front street. The driver did not notice anything wrong with hts load of paper until he had gone a distance of three blocks and went to make the turn at the A street road- way leading from the bridge, Then the entire lot of paper was a blaz- ing mass and an alarm was sent to the East Side department, which quickly re- sponded.

The wagon was considerably scorched, the blaze entailing an estimated loss of $200, the paper being a total loss, The accident.created intense excitement in the vicinity of the bridge for a few moments.

Hot Coffee Scalds Breast and Hands, Skin Comes Off with Clothes, All Remedies Useless. CURED BY CUTICURA My little boy was two years old when he reached upon the table and spilled a cup of hot coffee all over his left hand. It had gone through to his breast, and before L-could re- move his clothes it had burned his breast, and theskin came off with the clothes, and he has to-day a scar as large as a silver dollar on his breast. I applied a great many things. The burh was avery ugly one, hard to heal. I was requested to try CuTIouRA (ointment), which healed up rapidly, but before I used a half a box of CvTicura it was well. Oh, I think Cvricura is the salve above all others. Nov. 20,'98. Mrs. R. CARTY, Needles, Cal. BABY'S SORE HAND CURED I wag obliged to keep the first three fingers of my little boy’s hand done up ail the time, as it was a raw sore, beginning to extend down toward the palm. We consulted three different physicians, each a certain length of time. A gentleman recommended CUTICURA remedies. I purchased Curicvra Soar, Cu- TrcuRA (ointment), and CoTicuRaA RESOr- VENT, put aside*what I had been using, and began withthem. Well! they cured that hand. Mas.

Maud Lilian Berri was given the hearty welcome of an old friend at Music Hall ‘Moanday night when the rising curtain re- vealed the bright gypsy scene on the square, of the first act of ‘‘Maritana.’’ ‘Tuesday night Miss Norwood assumed the %.tle role. She was in excellent voice, Berri is certainly not an actress par ex- cejlence, but the ajtraction of her person- ality is evidenced by the enthusiasm that greets her appearance on the stage and prefaces the unfailing applause acorded all her soli. The opera offers no remarkable opportunities for effects, but requires gwod work and understanding. Berri’s high notes were taken with perfect clearness and ab- sence of affectation. In the lower register her voice was much lighter in quality and not so true. The touching air in the fourth ant, “Scenes That are Brightest,”’ received an ovation and the captive Maritana § fre- tired from a conquest of her audience laden with floral spoils. The part of Don Jose, the perfidious minister to the King, was taken by Max Eugene, who alternates this week with Homer Lind. His voice was ex- cellent and made a brave addition to the east. The’ big auditorium rang (o his stir- ring music and one only regrets that he has not more soli. Miro Delamotta did creditable work in the large scope of his role as Don Cesar, the reckléss groom of Maritana. His voice is generally very pleas- ing and sympathetic and his acting, con- trasted with that of his’ confreres last night, was absolutely refreshing to strained nerves. Unless one attends with shut eye it is necessary to have at least one Miro Delamotta in the cast. But one must not forget Edward Temple and the sprightly Bessie Tannehill in this connection, both of whom are actors and left vocalism alone last evening. One would like to see Miss Tannehill as something more pleasing than a Babayaga, though she lends grace notes of manner to even such inharmonious com- sitions as Katisha and the scarecrow archioness de Montefioro. Exception must Pbe taken. to Katherine Condon as Lazarillo. even though her rendition of “Alas, Those Chimes,’””’ showed good traits in her voice and won an encore. Her vocalism is poor and crude and grates harshly in the duet with Berri—‘‘Holy Mother.’”’ The quartette especially, needs to be strengthened by a finished contralto. Hinshaw made (vocally) a rousing good King Charles. The chorus, scenery, and esperially the elaborate cos- tumes in the third act, showed character- istic excellence in the company’s manage- ment of these telling details. To-night Nor- wood takes the part of Maritana. It will be interesting to compare these two stars of the Castle Square constellation. Sol Smith Russell and his last season's comedy, “The Hon. John Grigsby,’’ occu- ied the stage of the Century Theater Tues- day night. The attendance was large, as it always should be when Mr. Russell plays. and that the art of the actor was appreci- ated was shown by the continued outbursts of laughter and applause. Mr. Russell kevt the audience entertained, as he never fails to do, and on being en- thusiastically called: before the curtain ex- plained that he didn’t remember much about then aged 2 years and engaged In “‘domes- tic affairs” — ut that later he had come tod a full ap hociation.>* sham. og ye mage F aracter of the grea ncoln. n Sua audience heartily joined.

It Oaused Serious Delay to Mrs. Nora Coughlin of Kansas City. The negligence of a petty official at Union Station compelled Mrs. Nora Cough- lin of Kansas City to remain in this city Tuesday night while her mother was dy- ing in Brocton, N. Y., and every mintte lessened the chance that her daughter would ever see her alive. She was accom- panied by her two little daughters. She had a ticket over the Clover Leaf route. When she started to go to her train Tuesday night an official told her to watt until morn.ng. Thinking he knew best she took his advice. Thomas J. Wall, the Clov- er Leaf nt, heard of the incident. He declared that there was no excuse for the official’s advice to wait in 8t. Louis over night, as the train in the evening made the connections desired. mob Wal sought out Mrs. Coughlin, end, finding that her supply of money was low, ead her with food and had a com- ortable bed apartments ade for her in the retiring the ladies’ waiting room. personally assisted her to her train in morning. what | bts it alia tiie | LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—DECEMBER 6, 1899, > _ moe + nana Ws 5 haa Mi ayy (~ MoS fe a Feline “ ae / , - J 2) ] \) —~ Pee: ‘ ° a? o** ¥ ~e “We have gone too far and made too many promises re mM \y »* +3 7 : ‘ , » . ” oo rding the Fair to now withdraw and admit that St. Louis is not able to carry t ree the “eg RAMSEY, JR., which it has undertaken.” J.
