STOCKHOLDERS IN OPPOSITION. 7 CHARGES THAT THE DIRECTORS ACTED WITHOUT AUTHORITY. Allegation Also Made That They Made $33,000,000 by the Transaction and Failed to Divide the Profits. Charles J. Tanner and Max Judd, acting on behajf of themselves and all] other per- 608s who have been similarly affected and desire the same relief, filed a petition Wednesday in the Circuit Court, asking that the quitclaim deed, executed by the board of directors, and conveying «the IAndell Raiiway Co., with all its franchises, tracks and rolling stock to the United Railways Co. of St. Louis, be set aside and held for naught, and that the proper- ties affected be restored to their original owner. The court is also asked to declare the lease of the Lindell line to the St. Louis Transit Co. by the United Railways Co. void and that the mortgage given by the latter to the St. Louis Trust Co. to secure an issue of bonds for $45,000,000 be set aside so far as it affects the Lindel! properties. The basis of the suit is an allegation that the conveyance of the Lindell system of street railways to the United Railways Co. by the board of directors was unau- toorized by the charter of the company, and that, in attempting to make it, the directors exceeded their powers and really conveyed nothing. It is also charged that the directors, in making the conveyance, did not consult the wishes of other stock- holders, and, in fact, acted in violation of their desires. ° The petition is a voluminous document and contains many statements that are of great interest to the citizens of St. Louis. {t sets forth in detail much of the history of how the St. Louis Transit Co. acquired control of all but one of the street railway systems of St. Louts. The plaintiffs allege that they were large stockholders in the Lindell Company and ask all others who are interested to join them in the action. The attorneys .are waort A peptide e petition opens with the getatement that the suit is brought in the name of indiv! | stockholders because the Lin- dell directors are hostile to the plaintiffs and are opposed to their demande. In lay- for t, the *plamtiffs they have made a written emand upon the St. Lou!ls Transit & Unit- ed Railways Co. for the restoration of the conveyed property to ‘the stockholders, Which demand, it is charged, was refused. This is followed by the articles of incor- ration granted by the Missouri gisiature to the com any when it Was first organized. It is cjaimed that this charter pees the company authority only to operate a system of street railways, and conveys no powers to the directors to make any transfers of the property of the com- pany.

LOUS. She Was Followed by a Person Who Knew of Her Val- uable Package. Mrs. Jennie Blake of 1215 Chambers street, was knocked down and robbed of $60 by a footpad Monday night, about 7 o’clock, on Chambers street, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets. The police suppressed all news of the crime, although the facts of the robbery were reported to them. Mrs. Blake carried the money, which was in silver, in a package. When she fell under the footpad’s blow she dropped the package. The thief ran off with money. He made no effort to take Mrs. Blake’s purse, which was in her pocket, nor to remove any of the jewelry from her person. Mrs. Blake is employed in the store of William G. Willard in East St. Louis. The money stolen was the property of her employer which she was to have left at hig St. Louis store, 614 North Fourth street, Tuesday morning. She _ believes that the thief followed er from the East Side. The robbery occurred in the middle of the block, on the north side of the street. Mrs. Blake got off a Bellefontaine car at Chambers street. She thinks a man got off at the same corner, and this man, she believes, was the robber. She walked hur- riedly towards her home. She was con- scious that some one was behind her. This did not arouse any fear for the street is fairly well Nghted and the locality is not lonesome. Theie is a church on the southeast corner of Bleventh and Chambers streets. The building extends to almost the middle of the block on Chambers street. Mrs. Blake was passing the rear of the | church when ghe was struck from behind. i'@he fell forward, dropping her valuable package. A man, whose face she did not see, cked up the package and ran to Twelfth street, where he turned south. Mre. Blake saw no other person about. Tne blow did not render her insensible, but she was dazed. She lay on the sidewalk several minutes. . No one passed. She etrugglied to her feet and staggered home. The blow from the footpad raised a great lump on her head but did not cut the scalp. | Mys. Blake wore three diamond rings and diamond earrings. None of these was missing. In relating the story of her experience Mrs. Biake eteted that she was convinced the robber foliowed her from the store. “It ie my dally practice to carry the money from the st. Side to the St. Louis store,’ she said. “I believe that some one became aware of this fact and that the robber followed me for the express purpose of getting the package Monday night. “A man got off the car where I did and I think he was the robber. The night was eo dark, I could not see his face. I do not know whether he was a negro or a white man. I am sure there was only one man. J think he struck me with a sandbag or a | club. he pain was great and I suffered with it all night.” : THE WEATHER INDICATIONS. SNOW AND COLDER.

He Took This Name Bezause Judge Col- vin, Formerly Well Known to St. Louisans, Was Interested in Him. The missing son and heir of ‘Jennie Jones’ of Minneapolis has been found. On Dec. 2 the Post-Dispatch told exclusively of the search for him. He is William C. Colvin of East St. Louis. The estate of which he is the heir amounts to $100,000 and may be found to be worth much more than that. The man to whom this fortune is about to fall is a poor teamster. He has a wife and four children. The Post-Dispatch on Dec. 2 told of ef- forts of G. W..Ehler of Minneapolis to find a trace of the son of the woman in Belleville and St. Louis. Mr. Ehler kept up the search for some time but was not successful. So he returned -to Minneapolis. On Dec. 1 Charles W. Brown, a private detective of Minneapolis, arrived in St. Louis. He seems to have had better clews than the other:man. At any rate he has found the missing heir. —_—_—_—_—e—_—— In that year and tory begins in 1870. cued y . Dr. Catherine M. for a good while after . Robison had an establishment at 101) North Ninth street in/St. Louis. A part of her Dusiness was the manufacture o°¢ medicine. The late Judge John W. Colvin is said to have been ber silent partner in this enterprise. Another part of her busi- ness was finding homes for infants whose mothers did not want or could not care for them. Judge Colvin was not interested in this part, but he seems to have interested himself in one. case of this kind and that is how he comes to figure in the story. In 1872 a woman went to Mrs. Robison who said she was Mrs. Louisa Clark. She was divorced from her husband. ‘She had eome to St. Louis from a point up the river to try and make a living for herself and child. She had found that she could not keep the child, a boy, who was less than 2 years old, with her. His name was to’ —@ home for the little one and he placed the child with a steamboat man named Jerry Cox. Subsequently Cox engaged in rallroad con- tract work and went from place to place, and he took the boy with him. Cox died in 1878. The boy had always su ed that Cox and his wife were his uncle and aunt and addressed them as such. Be- fore he died Cox told the boy that he was not his uncle and all that he knew of the boy’s mother, which was not much. The boy was 9 years old at the time of Cox’s death. Soon afterwards he ran away from some town in the Northwests where he was living with Mrs. Cox, and traveled with a medicine company. Afterwards he met a drummer and traveled with him as his assistant. When he was 14 years old he returned to St. Louis, but only remained a short time and then went to Memphis. There he ob- tained a aioe with the Carey-Lombard Lumber Co. and worked for the firm for several years. While he was there he tried to get trace of Mrs. Cox, but could not He went to West Point, LL, where he heard she was, but did not find her, and he returned to Memphis. A lawyer or detective approached him there one wae and told him that his name was Clark, but gave him no further in- formate: After that he called himself Clark. Later he went to Davenport, and was there told that his name was Colvin. He was told the circumstances under which the Coxes had obtained him. When he re- turned to Memphis he called himself Wil- liam C. Colvin and has been known by that name ever since. Between 1880 and 1882 Colvin received a letter from Chicago. It was couched in en- dearing terms and gave him good advice. | | ; ' |}ate terms, /another wife. | The neighbors were taken | fidence, The name signed to it was Mrs. L. C. Clark. She concealed from him her relation to him, but said that she had a great interest in him which might some day be explained. She inclosed money. After that she wrote to him frequently during the ensuing four years, She always inclosed money. She sometimes wrote from Chicago and sometimes from New York and told him to send answers to different addresses, from which the letters would be forwarded to her. Colvin thought that his mother was dead. He could not imagine who the writer was. His wife did not like their affection- She charged him with having He denied that of course. into their con- but no solution of the mystery was found. Since 1884 he had received let- ters from the woman occasionally from Minneapolis. In 1891 Colvin removed with his wife to East St. Louls. He has lived there since. For a.time he worked at the ice plant. Then he purchased a team and has been teaming ever since. Recently he was em- te on grading work between Belleville and East St. Louis. He is now employed on the grading at the Malleable Works. He has four children and lives on Bobineau avenue. He is be- tween 2 and §# years of age. He is said by Detective Brown to be the image of his mother and he has letters to prove his part of the story. Detective Brown says the woman spent the time in Chicago and New York from 1872 to 1884. Since then she lived in Min- neapolis. She owned a building and lot on which it stood and an adjoining lot. She left, besides the property, cash, securities and diamonds, making the estate which {Is now in sight worth in the netghborhood of $1,000. Besides, she sald before she died that she had deeds in a safe deposit vault in Chicago or New York for property in the vicinity of St. Louls. An attempt will be made by Mr. Brown to locate these. During her life the woman made sev- eral trips to St. Louls and in some of her letters to her son she told him that she had seen him. She had a horror of him ever learning what her life had been and did not reveal herself to him on that ac- count. Judge Colvin died tn 1876. died six years ago. Mra.

The Two Became One at Belleville Last Evening and the Parents of the Bride Were Not Told Till To-day. The romance of J. Arthur Nelson and Miss Anna Maria Gruen has been rounded out to a fitting conclusion. All that now remains for them to do is to receive a “God bless you, my children,”’ and live happily ever afterward. They thave demonstrated that if the course of true love does not run smooth it nevertheless runs sure and swift down to the sea of, fulfillment. The man who is now a benedict was not so long ago a prisoner, but Miss Gruen's love was constant. She championed his cause when he was in trouble and now she will do all in her power to smooth his way to that happiness which will seem all the sweeter because it follows in the wake of adversity. The couple were mar- ried at Belleville Tuesday night by Justice Elisha Kennedy. Attorney Percival Adams was a witness. Mrs. Nelson is the daughter of Henry Gruen, who gave up his business as a butcher to operate the Oakland summer garden, in Carondolet. Mr, Gruen had no theatrical experience. perienced manager. J. Arthur Nelson, a young man of good address, came to him well recommended. An attachment grew up between tke handsome young manager and the proprietor’s daughter, an attachment that Gruen did his best to discourage. Just why he was opposed to the match is not known, but he evidenced his feeling in the matter in many ways. One morning in the latter part of August Gruen reported to the police that one of the rooms in his house had been entered and that $80 in cash and a: number of souvenir coins and brass checks had been stolen. He accused Nelson of the theft and the young man was arrested.

The Legislature has made, as we have seen, express provision for applying the writ of mandamus, whereas in the absence of such provision the right to the writ might have been doubtful. There would have been no purpose in this had it been contemplated that no appropriation by the municipa? authorities was necessary. mpegs * of the motion, Mr. F. N. Jud- son said Wednesday morning: “The motion of Mr. Schnurmacher is not for rehearing and does not relate to the merits of the controversy, nor is there any suggestion of the so-called Federal ques- It is only a request to the court tha@ tthe act itself makes an appropriation, binding upon the city officials, and that no appropriation by the Municipal Assembly is necessary. ‘“Tpon the argument, in answer to the city’s contention that there was no appro- priation for the police. we relied on two po- sitions. First, that there was no need of an appropriation, and second, the general appropriation by the Municipal Assembly was applicable to. the present police force. The court sustained both of these positions, all of the judges in the second, and all but Judge Marshall in the first. ‘So far as the present pay of the police is concerned, it will be seen that Mr. Schnurmacker’s motion will have no ef- fect. The only difference is that when the present appropriation is exhausted a few months hence, if the opinion is modified, as requested, an additional appropriation would be required, and, if it was not made, another mandamus would be necessary to enforce such appropriation. That is the only point involved. As it was fully pre- sented in the argument and fully consid- ered by the court it will doubtless be promptly disposed of next Tuesday and will cause no delay.” Mr. Harry B. Hawes, President of the Police Board, when asked what his opinion was of the motion filed by City Counselor Schrumacher, in which he claims that the city’s finances would be disordered if the original opinion of pe Sopreme Court is said: “Tpon the passage of the police bill, and was given to the House of Delegats by Mr. F.

A Drug Clerk's Experience. The following letter from Mr. H. B. Stark, 1022 Pine street, Scranton, Pa., explains itself and will be of interest to thousafids who have suffered the tortures of that common trouble, hemorrhoids or iles. Mr. Stark says: “I feel it my duty ‘to write an unsolicited testimonial regarding the Pyramid Pile Cure. Since a boy | have suffered untold agony from piles. I available remedies, con- sulted many physicians, but without help I have been employed as a drug clerk for the past 15 years, con- sequently have been in a position where I could try all of the new and old reme- dies for piles, but as before stated to no avail. “About six weeks ago I was again suf- fering from my old trouble and as an'ex- periment tried the Pyramid Pile Cure, and let me say that it gave instant re- lief and I am now wholly cured. I am sure that the cure is permanent. “I also shall always recommend the Pyramid to anyone suffering from any form of piles and shall do what I can to advance the sale ‘of so excellent a reme- dy.” Signed H. B. Stark. The Pyramid Pile Cure popular and widely known of any rae ever offered for piles. It is the most popular because it is the most successful. It cures every form of piles ‘without pain or detention from | daily occupation and contains no opiate or cocaine or any poisonous or injurious . substance. All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure at 50 cents fon full-sized packages. is the pot | he 327 sion for the department. The Supreme Court in its decision upheld Mr. Judson in this view. Not only was this legal opinion furnished to the House of Delegates, but I | ‘personally called “es Mr. Sturgeon and others, and urged them to advise that the city’s revenue be so appropriated that it would not be disarranged by the new police bill. “Upon his contending that he thought the bill unconstitutional and would not_hol I requested that he urge upon the House of Delegates to leave Unapprourietes in the treasury a sufficient sum y the ney, to meet the increase provided for @ police law. This he refused to do, meal, if there is any confusion in the department re age | the city’s funds, Mr. Sturgeon, an tur geon alone, is responsible. Not only dia the Comptroller refuse to consider that the new law was in existence, but he recom- mended to the City Council and House of Delegates an ot pk bey for the Police Department which provided for an increase of only $1550, a sum not sufficient to pay two extra patrolmen. A short time prior to that time he made it tmpossible for the Police Commissioners to retain the ser- vices of the 181 probationaly patrolmen, who did not cost the city one single cent, as they were paid out of the money saved from the salaries of the older patrolmen. The plan of having these probationaries had been in existance many years, and evidently for the public weifass by giving them the services of 131 men without any extra cost to the city. “The motion recently filed by Mr. Schnur- macher is an indication to me that the fight against the Police Department is over. I have had absolute confidence in Mr, Schnurmacher all through this controversy and feel satisfied that if it had not been for the partisan attitude of Mr. Sturgeon, the trouble would not have been precipi- tated. The effect of Mr. Schnurmacher’s motion will be to cause but a short delay of three or four days.”’ . Ingalls’ Installment Plan Will help you out on that Christmas gift.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. effair does not turn out to be a more seri- ous defeat than Gen. Methuen admits. The Highlanders must have stormed the Boer position more than once, while the fact that the Guards were ordered to sup- port the Highlanders’ rear, looks as though the Boers may even have outflanked their attackers. One report says that Gen. Cronje attacked the British. The only compensation the British have been able to discover in the disheartening story ie in Gen. Methuen’s statement that he maintains his position close to the Boers, showing that he has ‘mot been routed. It is apparent that the shelling of Saturday and Sunday did not shake the Boers’ grip on their position, and that they merely withdrew their guns and riflemen under cover, while Gen. Methuen indulged in the usual artillery preliminaries Monday, and that when the British guns were obliged to cease firing, owing to the danger of hitting the advancing troops, the Boers speedily reoccupied their trenches and overwhelmed the Highlanders with a terrible fire, probably accompanying this ’ by an attack on the British right flank and rear. ~Alarm is beginning to be expressed in Many quarters as to the situation of Gen. Methuen. As the Westminster Gazette 8: “If England ever needed e victory it is now, and it is to Buller, the soldier, gtrong, cool-headed and reticent, that the country looks for this yictory.”’ Significance attaches to Gen. Methuen’s statement that he is intrenching himseif, indicating fear that the Boers may follow up their advantage, adopt the offensive and attack him. The gravity of the situation from the British point of view can hardly be over- estimated. Gen. Methuen’s long lines of communication to DeAar are most vulner- e@ble. Should they be cut, Gen. Methuen will find himself in a very tight place, if ay from lack of supplies. © news of the British reverse had a bad prow on the Stock Exchange, where there was a general relapse. Kaffirs and Rand mines dropped 2% points, and De Beers dropped %. The latest advices from Gen. Gatacre show that no anxiety is felt for the safety of his remaining troops, who have been withdrawn to good positions along the railroad south of Molteno, BRITISH GENERAL KILLED Major-General Andrew G. Wanchope Fell in the Battle of Modder River. LONDON, Dec. 18.—The war office has re- ceived the following dispatch from Gen. Forestier-Walker: “Cape Town, Tuesday, 12.—Methuen wires that Gen. Wauchope was killed ‘in action yesterday.” rth. Maj.-Gen. Andrew G. Wauchope, C.-B., C. M. G., entered the army in 1865, was pro- moted colonel 1888, served in the Ashanti war, 1873; in the Egyptian war, 1882, in the Soudan expedition of 1884, and in the Nile expedition of 1884-85. He was in command of the first brigade of Egyptian expedi- tionary force in 1898. Gen, Wauchope hase beén wounded four times. WAS IT SORTIE OR TRAPP Costly Movement Against the Boers by the Garrison of Lady- smith. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Dec. 13.—According to a dis- patch received at the War Office the British, by a sortie, surprised the Boers be- sieging Ladysmith and captured and de- stroyed a siege gun. » “On the way back the Boers supplied the Apia bee ey sig 3 : BEI Soe Via a Reo) gE Re ee party @ them intercepting the British return, causing a loss of eleven men killed, # wounded and six captured.

They gained the Boer position and burst a gun with gun cotton, and then discovered that the Boers had cut off their retreat. Metcalfe formed his men for a charge; and fought his way back to Ladysmith. Among the killed. was Lieut. Ferguson; among the wounded, Capt, Paley and eg Davenport and Bond. The rest of the killed, . wounded and captured ‘were among the rank and file. Six, who were left behind to take charge of the wounded, were taken prisoners. BRITISH WOUNDED BROUGHT IN Victims of Boer Bullets at Modder River Are Arriving at Orange Raver. LONDON, Dec. 15.—The War Office to- day received the following message from Gen. Forestier-Walker: “Cape Town, Tuesday, Dec., further details from Methuen.” From Orange River it is reported that 820 wounded, including 27 officers, have ar- rived there from the ‘Modder River. BOER STORY OF THE BATTLE News Received at Pretoria Indicates That the Engagement Was Gen- + eral and Hard Fought. 12.—No PRETORIA, Dec. 11, Monday.—An offi- clal revort says: “A battle at Modder River began yesterday with cannon fir- ing, heavy fighting proceeding from 3:38 o'clock in the morning until 9:30 with can- non, Maxims and rifles. A bombardment began at 4:30 o’clock and the fighting still continues, A balloon has just arisen above the British positions, where it remained ten minutes and descended. There were heavy rains during the night.’ At 9 o’clock this morning another report was received from Modder River. A dis- patch rider prought word that all the Boer positions have been maintained and that 41 British prisoners had been taken. At 9:30 o'clock, it Was reported that the heavy cannon fire has somewhat abated. The British ere constantly using their balloon. The fighting was still going on at noon. MOVING ON THE TUGELA What Appears to Be Buller’s First Ad- vance Step Has Been Taken. LONDON, Dec. 13.—A dispatch from Frere Camp, dated Tuesday, Dec. 12, morn. ing, says: “This morning a union brigade, consist- ing of English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh Fusiliers, under Gen. Barton, with several! naval guns, advanced and took up a strong position three miles from Colenso, on the Tegula River, meeting with no opposition.”’ This movemenet is regarded here as the first step in Gen. Buller’s advance on the Boers intrenched on the Tugela River. Gen. Buller’s advance in the direction of Colonso seems to ..have actually com- menced. The prtary, mttaches have left Cape Town to join Gen. Buller, via Dur- ban. Gen. White reports, under date of Tuesday, Dec. 12, that there are 32 cases of enteric fever at Ladysmith.

Second Night of “Bohemian Girl” an Improvement. The second presentations of “The Bo- hemian Girl’’ by the Castle Square forces in Music Hall Tuesday night was much bet- ter than that of Monday night—and there was room for improvement. Miss Berr! made a personal triumph. She sang her old, familiar role of Arline and carried some of her auditors back to those nights under the cave shed, when they sipped beer at a little table, ate caviare and Dutch cheese, and listened to her delightful voice in the “Dream” song. She showed the same well remembered feeling, the same spirit and even greater power Tuesday night, and the presentation of the opera in its entirety was a much more pleasant setting than the abbreviated version given the summer garden. a elamotta as Thaddeus sang well with Berri. His tenor {s thin Dut true, and while its lightness is to be regretted, its quality is a recompense. Lind wae fine in the Count’s part, and in “The Heart Bowed Donwn' was remarkably good. He left off the frills that Eugene put on it Monday night, and the audience was 80 grateful that it encored him three times. The work of the chorus was good—as it usually Is. May Lambert continued in her part of Monday night, Miss Linck being Ill. A word should be said about the comedy efforts of Mr. Temple. They are not up to the standard of the rest of the performance, and not altogether pleasing to his audiences. FOUNDED 1829. FOUNDED 1829.

SNOW AND COLD WEATHER St. Louis Will Be Chilly and Covered With a White Mantle Before Thursday Morning. 6t. Louis will have a plentiful supply of snow and cold weather by Wednesday night, if the predictions of the Weather Bureau do not go amiss. The change will be in harmony with me- teorological conditions existing throughout the West and in the upper lake region. Dr. Richart Hyatt, who makes the of- ficial announcements for St. Louis and vi- cinity, says he cannot estimate exactly how cord it will be, but he is gure the mercury will drop not less than 15 degrees. ‘St. Louis,”’ he added, ‘‘will be snow clad, but whether we can go sleighing before to- morrow night is an uncertainty. ‘Tt is snowing to-day over the Rocky Mountains and as far directly eastward as Wichita, Kan.

Mr. Jett is confident he can get the resolution through, He will if the members have the courage of their convictions. Surely the American Congress is not yet ready to abandon American doctrine, and witness, without protest, the destruc- tion of a sister republic fighting for its independence. Will the press of the country find its voice and support the resolution? As Mr. Jett pointed out, the New York World and St. Louis Post-Dispatch have spoken plainly and frequently, but it is time for the American people, through the press, to speak its views so loudly that the whole world will hear and understand. Mark Twain’s “silent assertion lie” has passed uncontradicted too long. i i ea a News of another Boer victory comes from South Africa. Gen. Methuen rcports a British attack that failed with heavy losses. He says that his army is intrenching, which means that he is on the defensive against a strong force of Boers. The embattled farmers of South Africa are making a winning fight for liberty. The dream of a great South African repub- fic is now a probability. Americans who have not forgotten the principles and labors of their fathers will wish the Boers Godspeed. The resolutions of sympathy in Congress are timely. i> Li>ihi> bd A VIRTUOUS CAPITAL. St. Louis congratulates Jefferson City. The Salvation Army has been compelled to leave it for lack of material on which to work. This is a little surprising. Everybody knew, of course, that the State capital of Missouri was a poor field for the Salva- tionist. But no one dreamed that the keen-sighted and perse- vering Salvation Army would be unable to find a single sin- mer there. We must hold up Jefferson City as a shining ex- ample. No other municipality in the country can take rank with it just now. But then the Legislature is not in session, and that, per- haps, accounts for the excess, the spasm of righteousness which exalts Jefferson City among the cities of the earth. i It is a city perched upon the heights of virtue. Every policeman has his beat to walk. The burglar waits until the policeman has passed. And how can a policeman, Only Even where there is a priv watchman on the block, houses are robbed. We shall have Yo study, self-protection as well as to pay policemen. = = = i id CHRISTMAS DINNERS. The dinner menus for Christmas, prepared by the chefs of St. Louis hotels and printed in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, are practical and tempting. Any housekeeper can use them. There is a little dinner for eight which may be prepared, and served for $1.58. Another for eight costs $4.82. From this the menus rise until, ff you are very expensive, you can have a dinner costing $30.50. The virtue of these menus, however, is their simplicity. There is nothing elaborate or beyond the facility of the “homiest’’ kitchen. Try them. For eminent partisan asininity, the assertion of a Kansas party organ that Mr. McKinley’s message caused a slump in trust stocks takes the prize. Mr. McKinley has devoted a @reater part of his life to the founding of trusts; he is not going to do anything to injure them now. - = — = —_— _ MR. PECK ON WORLD'S FAIRS. In a Post-Dispatch interview Mr. Ferdinand Peck, Commis- Sioner-General of the United States to the Paris Exposition, makes some pertinent remarks cOncerning the Louisiana Pur- os chase Fair. Mr. Peck points out the immense permanent good done Chi- . @&ago by the Columbian Exposition of 1893. There was a slight reaction at first, but the recovery quickly came, and the bene- fits have flowed in steadily ever since. “The opportunities and the conditions for making a World’s Fair a success,” said Mr. Peck, “are infinitely better now than they were then, and “there isn’t any reason why St. Louis should not profit by them. One thing is certain, St. Louis will have a good friend and well wisher in Chicago if she under- takes the World's Fair.” The compliment is appreciated. And we feel confident tha with Chicago's gvod wishes we shall surpass her wonderful exposition of 1893. i te The Congress now sitting in Washington can help the Re- b publican party more by acting justly than by subservience to MY. McKinley, who certainly has an ax to grind. _- DEPENDS UPON OFFICIALS. Excise Commissioner Higgins’ wineroom order, of which the Chief of Police is now officially cognizant, seems to leave nothing between these pests and extinction but official negli- gence. It is sweeping and comprehensive. if “The police will do their duty in the premises,’ says Mr. Hawes, “and, while we cannot revoke saloon licenses, we will, in’ every instance, carry out the instructions of Mr. Higgins.” The Post-Dispatch has been warring against these dens for years. it is to be hoped that the struggle is at an end: the officials who have spoken on the subject are in earnest the wineroom will soon disappear, and the principal breeding places of vice be abolished. , =! = rr This is Senator Frye’s testimony: “Aguinaldo, with his 17 ehieftains, then exiles at Singapore, went to Hong Kong to gail with Admiral Dewey for Manila. - gailed, they were taken over in one of our revenue cutters, -Yyeceived arms from the Admiral, raised an army, fought guccessfully the common enemy, were of assistance to us, He having already and while no promises were made to them, orally or in writ- 5 “ng, they.were practically our allies.” Why should we not be > gust to our allics? ~~ Fr CHILDHOOD IS CHEAP, fhe Rev. Dr. 8. G. Smith of the People’s Church, St. Paul, thinks “the enormous increase of woman labor by immature young women is the economic, social, moral and physical evil of our time, and it is the most serious menace to the nation’s .. life ” There are 4,000,000 working women in this country, the ma- jority of whom are between the ages of 14 and 25. Dr. Smith Sitives “the great fact of the last decade is the enormous nere among these workers of girls under 18 years of age. > Im the glothing trades alone, the increase has been 238 per at in cotton and woolen goods 138 per cent. The tendency ownrd childhood. It is cheaper.” ie ie all true, but what is to be done about it?

Dr. Smith is no doubt right in his view of the consequences, but the remedy is not in sight. a eS , Champ Clark points out the fact that Clerk Dawson is dis- missed from a $1200 place for speaking jestingly of Mr. Mc- Kinley, while Gen. Egan is rewarded with $6000 per annum for speaking disrespectfully of Gen. Miles. It isn’t hard to cn Bigg Mr. McKinley after this example of his presidential work. If you are in doubt about Christmas presents, consult the advertising columns of the Post-Dispatch. There you will find enumerattd the best, most appropriate and cheapest ar- ticles. Select your presents and go buy them without any fuss or trouble. The British censors are wearing out their blue pencils to little purpose. The sword of the Boer is mightier than the British pencil. Concealment only adds to the doubts and distress in the anxious homes of Great Britain. a - i id It is not a wonder that all the officials of a New Jersey city have been indicted by the grandjury. It is more a won- der that more officials of other cities have not been in- dicted. — oa ae The final defeat of the British in the Transvaal would be a good thing for Great Britain.

The British General’s problem is, to find a route which does not involve a rout. It doesn’t look as if Mr. Bull is to have many Boers to hang on his Christmas tree. We may have to colonize our Mormons in the Sulu Islands, where the American flag is protecting polygamy and cannot be hauled down. Our Emperor William and Germany’s Emperor William are not so far apart as they miay seem to people who observe little of national affairs. Mr. Moody’s heart has failed so much that he can do no more platform work. The great evangelist now needs a chang. of heart himself. As the barometer in St. Louis on Monday was lower than it was at the time of the tornado, we cannot always take the barometer as a sure prophet of evil. Wilson Gill wants every American postage stamp to convey a lesson in our history. Every postage stamp should also have sufficient mucilage to enable it to stick to the envelope when the letter is dropped into the street-box. >> rw LEVER AGAINST THE TRUSTS. Solicitor-General Says That the Sherman Law May Be : Really Applied With Effect. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—In discussing the recent decision re- garding the Addystcne Pipe Trust case, Solicitor-Genera] Rich- ards says: “The Supreme Court held that Congress may prohibit the per- formance of any contract between individuals or corporations where the natural and direct effect of it is to regulate or restrain interstate commerce, In other words, the anti-trust law applies ‘to every agreement in restraint of interstate trade, whether made by corporations or individuals. “In the next place, the court held that any agreement or com- bination which cit te restrains not only the manafacture but the saie of a commodity among the several States, comes within the anti-trust law. ‘ne precise form of the combination is, 1 take it, immaterial, if there be a ‘combination.’ “The distinction between direct and incidental operation is to be observed. A trust formed for the purpose of monopolizing the manufacture of a commodity within the States may, indirect- ly and incidentally, suppress competition in the sale of the ar- ticle among the sevéral States. But the Supreme Court held in the Knight case that such indirect and incidental resuit would not be sufficient to bring the combination within reach of the act. It must be shown that the combination was formed not only to monopolize the production of the commodity, but to suppress = and enhance prices in its sale among the several ates, “The Sherman law, as now interpreted by the court, is about as comprehensive and far-reaching as it can be made. The Unit- ed States has no constitutional power to interfere with the trans- action of ordinary business within the several States, whatever the nature of the combination which carries it on. But whenever commerce among the States is directly affected and regulated by a combination, Congress may intervene. “The precise scope and meaning of the phrase, ‘every contract or combination inthe form of a trust, or otherwise, or con- spiracy,’ has not yet been defined, and some interesting questions 7° this connection may arise in the further enforcement of the aw. >> Tv TWE LANDS NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN. Important Decision Affecting Mining Cperations ABout Cape Nome. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—A very important question has just been decided by Commissioner Hermann of the General Land Of- fice, governing placer mining upon the beach of the Behring Sea. off the coast of Alaska at and near Cape Nome, the new gold fields. The decision affects mining and locations, embracing tide lands below the line of ordinary high tide. Numerous applica- tions are pending before the Interior Department as to locations upon such lands, which have been demonstrated to contain gold in marvelous quantities. Individuals or associations of persons, and incorporated mining companies are seeking concesions from the gavernment by which they may acquire exclusive mining rights and privileges pertaining to such tide lands. The commissioner decides that tide lands in the district of Alaska are not public lands, subject to disposal to individuals, under any of the existing land laws of the United States, and that the Department has no statutory authority to make con- ee to individuals of any mining rights pertaining to such tide lands. , A citation is made by the commissioner to the case of Shiveley vs. Bowlby, decided by the United States Supreme Court, in which it was held that the United States upon acquiring a ter. ritory, whether by concession from one of the States, or by treaty with a foreign country, or by discovery and settlement, takes the title and the dominion of lands below high water mark of tide waters for the benefit of the whole people, and in trust for the future States to be created out of the territory, and it wa@ further held that Congress has not undertaken, by general laws, to dispose of lands below high water mark of tide waters in a territory; but, unless in case of some international duty or public exigency, has left the Administration and dispos- ition of the sovereign rights in such waters and lands to the control of the State respectively, when admitted into the union. =! rT METHODIST CHURCH DISCIPLINE. Meeting of a Special Committee to Frame a Report to Next Conference. BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 13.—The committee appointed by the General Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church at Kan- sas City in 1896, to make a thorough examination of the disci- pline of the church, with a view to putting in form and reporting to the next General Conference such matters of revision as may appear necessary, has begun its work here. It will probably re- quire two days to cOmplete the work. The General Conference to which the conference will submit the result of its labors will meet at Atlantic City next May. The propositions before the committee embraced decided changes in the administrative law of the church, covering the ad- ministration of churches within the annual conferences, and the manner of conducting annual conferences. They include also the aeproprnien of money for educating young men for the minis- try, the examination of candidates for the ministry, and the rec- ommendation of candidates for ald from the Board of Ministerial] Education, CONGRESS OF RELIGION. “Demands of the Times on Teachers of Theology” and Other Papers Read.

"das organized for the seasonggith forwards GHATS WHAT THE NATIONAL ‘Yoors LIKE JUST Now. CLEVELAND AND LOUISVILLE. Those Two Cities Certain to Be Dropped but Washington and Baltimore May Go’ On, Special to the Post-Pispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Andrew Freedman is @ prophet. The National League has knuckled to him, and New York now holds the whip hand. It is proposed to make the franchises of the Louisville and Cleveland Clubs in- operative and at the next meeting prepare a 10-club schedule. Nine magnates have combined against Brooklyn and Baltimore and those two cities will block all legislation looking to a@ breaking of the 10-year agreement and a reduction cf the circuit. Washington is out for ‘all the cash in 6ight. Freedman did not appear at the Fifth Avenue Hotel meeting. Such is the situation to date in the baseball wrangle. The ‘first proof of the truthfulness of Freedman’s statement that a most power- ful combine, with himself at the head, had been formed to discipline the four owners of the Brooklyn and Baltimore Clubs came to light at the meeting of the Board of Arbitration when the Wrigley case came up for decision. ,_ At the close of the Eastern League sea- 60n, Sept. 15 last, Wrigley, a Syryfuse play- er, signed with the New York Ciub and layed several games in a pigmy uniform. resident Pat Powers of the Eastern League sold Wrigley a few days after he haf signed with New York to Brooklyn, and he finished the season with the Superbas, playing in 15 games. Freedman protested and took the case be- fore the Board of Arbitration, composed of Young, Hart, Rogers, Brush, Soden’ and Robison, The National Agreement, to which the Eastern League is a party, provides that & minor league player has a right to play With any club he wishes after his own league season has closed. It also says he shall play with any club to which he may sold. President Powers took the latter ground and annecunced that if beaten he would resign from the presidency. Jake Wells, representing Syracuse, seconded him with a written protest. The case was technically New York against Syracuse, and the former wen by'’a unanimous vote— 6 to 0. Wrigley was awarded to Brooklyn for the future. To-day Mr. Freedman will ask that Brooklyn be disciplined, which means fined. That the request will be granted is re- garded as a foregone conclusion. Every game in which Wrigley played, it is said, will be thrown out, but they will have no bearing on the championchip race, as near- ly ali of them were lost by Brooklyn. The League simply met. organized and ‘adjourned until to-day, so the reduction proposition did not come up for formal] dis- cussion, But Barney Dreyfuss, who will be elected president of the Pittsburg Club in Jersey City this morning, has formulated a plan which he thinks will go through. It is to turn over the franchises and play- ers of Baltimore, Washington, Cleveland and Louisville to a committee to be ap- teagan The value set on each shall e paid in cash to the several owners by the eight’ clubs remaining in the League. Louisville has already consented and Cleveland would willingly pay a little to get out, but the Baltimore magnates will refuse to sell until their own price is paid. The club earned $15,000 in 1899, ; _ J, Earl Wagner will stay in with .Wash- Ington and continue the brokerage game unless paid handsomely to retire. The whole echeme has been agreed on without con- sulting the Brooklyn-Baltimore crowd, and they are strictly on the defensive. “We haven't been approached by a sin- le magnate,’ said Mr, Von der Horst of faltimore to the Post-Dispatch, “‘and it looks suspicious. If they are trying a four flush racket we are ready with four aces.” “If Baltimore and Washington refuse to do as we eay,”’ said Barney Dreyfus to the Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘‘we will make the franchises of Louisville and Cleveland inop- erative. have awten-club schedule until the expiration of the ten-year agreement in 1901, and then reorganize the league without Brooklyn or Baltimore. What will they do *>s then’ Hanlon, Von der Horst, Abell and Eb- bitts all say that they-prefer playing in another league than submitting to Brush and Freedman. Mr. Brush expresred himself very strong- ly against 6o-called syndicate ball, and said he intended to devote the remaining years of his life—he claims they are few—re- hablUlitating the national game. Besides being the owner of the Cincin- nati Club, principal owner of the Indiana- olis Club in the Western League, and of 000 worth of stock in the New York Club, he is a stockholder in the Pittsburg Club and is known to be the . backer of rank De Haas Robison of St. Louis and eveland., Mr. Brush is heartily against syndicate Dall, but he will sell none of his surplus holdings. It all “depends on whose ox is gored.” ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. All Arrangements Completed for the Visit of the Pullmans.

The first of these matches will be that between Tommy White and Kid sroad, | which is scnedu.ed to take place under the | auspices of the St. Louis Athletic Club in the Fourteenth Street Theater on Tuesday | night. ' Broad, in the estimation of Eastern fol- lowers of pugilism figures the most likely lad of his weight in the ring, barring pcs- sibly McGovern, and it is more than prob- able that he will take Dixon's place in Jan- uary against the famous Terry. : broad’s rapid advance certainly com mands attention and it is not altogether im- probable that iovers of boxing in this city will on Thursday night look on a new world’s champ.on In Tommy White, Broad will face a past maeter of the manly art, whose necord is the longest and best of al) the fighiers past and present, barring Dixgn. ; The meeting of Broad and White will un- Goubtedly be the most interesting ever wit- nessed in this city. White arrived this morning looking in tne best possible condition and very confident of his ability to win Thureday night's bat- tie. John Rout, the well-known Chicago boxer, accompanied White here and will second him in his contest. The preliminary of 15 rounds between Henry Neise, the big oyster man, and Ferd, Bellerson, the chanfpion heavy of Utah, is attracting much attention in North St. uis, where Neise has dwelt for many years.

Death of Ben O’Keeffe’s Famous Old Dog Bendigo. — At Tuesday night’s meeting of jthe St. Douis Coursing Club, the next Sunday’s programme was arranged and will consist of an all-age stake and a puppy stake unlimited. As Jan. 1 ends, puppies now running as such and throws them into the all-age di- vision, the club will give owners of puppies all the opportunity to run they want. The cup donated to the club by the Green Tree Brewery, valued at $100, can be seen in the windows of the Mermod % Jac- card Jewelry Co.pand the first of the series of three races for thia. prize will be run off dec. 31. The cup will be entirely independent of the purse, the winner taking both. The entry fee will be the same as in the present all age states. Mr. Benjamin O’Keeffe mourns the loss of his good cld dog Bendigo, who died of his injuries received two weeks ago. Bendi- g0 was born in the -purple being by Dover out of Gilda. He was strickly a local grey- hound, having done all his running on local tracks, viz. at the Fair Grounds, at South Side Park, at Brentwood and at Believile He was an honest courser and a faithful friend and all old coursers will be sorry to learn of his death. Mr. John J. Lavin can tell exactly how far it is around the track at Pastime Park and any who are up as early as 4 a. m. can see him with his imported dog, ‘‘Bar- ton Tag,’’ doing that course. John has his eye on the Green Tree Cup. With a wire to a large kennel in Texas “to send the best dog they have’’ from a prominent West End livery man and an- other to Dakota for a ‘“‘Greentick’’ to be sent immediately to a prominent physician besides the one P. J. Eagan has recently got, it looks like coursing is on the boom and that local owners see it takes a good dog to win. WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY: LOST. The Canadians Beat the Americans in Tuesday Night’s Hockey Game. A woeful lack of team work was respon- stble for Washington University’s defeat at the hands of the All-Canadian Maple Leafs in the opening game of the Hockey Associa- tion season, which was played at the Ice | Palace, Cook and Channing avenues, Tues- day night. Without perfect team work it is impossible | to defeat the Canucks, as the lads from across the border are thoroughly familiar with every angie of the game and play to- gether in a brilliant manner. The score at the end of the second haif was 2 to 0 in favor of the Maple Leafs. The passing and shots for goals by Woods, Mc- Gilvray, Ross and Richardson brought forth much applause from the big crowd present. The ’Varsity forwards did some individual work at time, but their attempts at passing and playing together were very weak. Harrison and Senseney carried off the honors for weenie: the dribbling of the former was especially sensational, Woods and Richardson scored the two goais. The latter made his tally on a bril- liant pass from Ross, the new member of the Maple Leafs. The game was a clean one, being particu- lariy free from foul work. Wednesday night at 8 o’clock sevens from St. Louis University Alumni and St. Louls A. A. A. will cross sticks.

OW NHN Js Bays He Has Abandoned His Army. ONLY ROBBER BANDS TO FIGHT. CONFIRMATION OF REPORT OF DEATE OF PILAR. MacArthur Has Mabini, Founder of the Late Government, as a Prisoner of War and Province of Isa- bella Has Surrendered. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—In his reports from Manila dated yesterday, Gen. Otis makes this declaration: + “Organized rebellion no longer existe, and Our troops are actively pursuing robber bands. All important and threatened cen- _ ters of population in the north have been occupied.” * His cablegram further reports -conditions as follows: “In Bulucan Province the insurgents have: been scattered and driven east to the moun- tains. Our casualties in that section in the ‘last few days were ten. The insurgent Casualties in killed, wounded and prisoners Aggregate 100. Considerable insurgent prop- erty, arms and ammunition captured. : Our troops are now in the mountains in pur- sult. “The insurgents have been driven from Bubig Bay, and the marines now occupy a Maval station there. Our column moving west from Tarlac is now on the west coast of Luzon, where it has been supplied. It encountered little resistance. A column is now moving west and gouth from Dagu- pan along the coast. “There is no concentrated insurgent force of importance in Luzon north of Manila. Southern Luzon will not offer any serious resistance. Troops are co-operating in that section.’’ London dispatghes say that this report has been sent from Hong Kong, presumably from the Filipino junta: “The insurgent government (so-called) of the Philippines will be changed to a dicta- torship, to continue hostilities against the Americans exclusively by the methods of pverrilia warfare. The Filipino army is eing split up into small, bands, the troops ors an oath before separation that they will fight until their country’s rights are recognized. - “A force of United States marines, who landed at Vigan, south of Ilocos province, age the battleship’ Oregon, was defeated This Applies to All Patients Begin- ning or Renewing Treatment Before January Ist.

Gen. Ot's has some gtirring news to re- port to-day from Manila, his sdvices oing to show the insurgents are, as he predicted, a few days ago, at the end of their re- sources from a military point of view and are melting away before the rapid adv e of the American troops at all points. His cablegrams dated to-day were ag follows: Manila, Dec. 13.—Fifty men of the navy and 50 men of the army, transported by the navy, took Laog on the 10th inst. oun Young with starf foMowed next day. He reports Howse with Pennsylvania battalion of the Thirty-fourth followed by a rtion of the Thirty-fourth Infantry passed north to Pidding, east of Laog.

The Third Cavalry was along the coast and in the mountains pursuing the enemy, passed over mountains, driving the insur- gents under Gen. Tino, who was He made large captures of rifles and prop- erty with all ingurgept transportation, and released all the Spanish prisoners in that section to the number of about 2000. Our casualties were two wounded. Our troops are still pursuing the remnant of Tino’s cammand. ‘“‘March’s battalion of the Thirty-third re- ports from Gayan, Le Panto Province, 7th inst., that he has destroyed Aguinaldo’s bodyguard, killed Gen. Greggrio Pilar: re- celved the surrender of Gen. Consepicion and staff, killed and wounded 52 insur- gents; released 575 Spanish prisoners, in- cluding 180 friars, and captured considerable property. His loss was two killed and nine wounded. My information is that Aguinal- do has disguised his individuality, aban- doned his troops and is hiding in the prov- ince of Benguet.”’ Gen. Otis’ second dispatch says: ‘‘Manila, Dec. 13.—Admiral Watson in forms me-that the province of Gagayan surrendered unconditionally to Capt. Mce- Calla of the Newark 11th inst; all arms be- ing surrendered. Major Batchelder is ninety miles south of Aparri, command in good condition. ‘‘Navy will take supplies to Batchelder in launch at once; this surrender doubtless includes the province of Isabella. “Gen Bates, at Zamboanga, reports af- fairs there satisfactory. Nearly all rifles surrendered; MacArthur, at Bayambang, reports that he holds, as prisoner of war, Mabini, the ablest of the insurgents, and founder of the late government.” GUERRILLA WAR NOW ON. Filipinos Harder to Suppress Than the American Indians. MANTLA, Dec. 13.—Col. Smith, with a detachment of the Seventeenth Infantry, surrounded and captured, in a village near Malasqui, a party of guerillas, which in- cluded the band which assassinated seven officials at Malasqui for friendliness to the Americans. All are Filipinos who became bandits when the disintegration of the Filipino army began. They kept the country around Malasqui in a state of terror for several weeks, and committed % murders in less than that number of days. When they were caught they promptly sent to Gen. MacArthur's head- quarters at Bayambang. and it is expected that they will be either shot or hanged. The whole country north of San Fernando and between San Fernando and Manila swarms with similar bands. Probably they will be increased by men from Pilar’s army, many of whom are making their way south to join the insurgent force in Cavite Province. These Filipinos, for the most part, suc- ceeded in dodging Gen. Grant, Col. Bell and Col, Hood’s treops, who are scouring the country for them. Every day some wagon train is fired on or some soldier disappears. Gen. Wheeler’s secretary, Mr. Garrett, was disarmed and slashed by a Boloman almost within sight of headquarters, The policy’ of these Filipinos is to make the country uninhabitable for Americans, Frequently they raid and loot towns. The brother of the President of Imus went out- side the town the other day to harvest rice. He was captured, accused of being & spy and executed. Only a small portion of the insurgent arms have been surrendered and the prob- lem of suppressing this guerrilla warfare is anything but easy of solution. Some of the American officers think it worse than fighting Indians, owing to the difficulties of the country and the trouble of locatin the enemy, who resort, when hard pressed, to the “amigo dodge” and hide their guns. Some of the Americans favor the issuance of a proclamation declaring al) natives found with arms to be bandits, punj§hable as criminals, instead of being treated as prisoners of war. : Decorate Your Home.

ALLEN, Vice-President and General Manager Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway. (In the Post-Dispatch.) Ferdinand W. Peck, Commissioner of the United States to the Paris Exposition, was the guest of honor at a dinner given by the Contemporary Club Tuesday night. Prof. W.-L. Sheldon, president of the club, presided. Mr. Peck made an address on the Exposi- tion, with special reference to the St. Louis orld’s Fair of 198, at which he said many’ of the best exhibits to be seen at Paris in 19 might be duplicated. He said in part: “Gentlemen of St. Louis, you have a mighty task confronting you, but you will accomplish it. You will do credit to your eity and your country, and those of us who were closely related to the work of the Co- lumbian Exposition of 1898 are with vou heart and soul. Our experience in the ex- position fleld, our judgment, our hearty co- operation in your great work are at your command. “I said to your distinguished citizen, my friend, Gov. Francis, in Washington last Winter, that I believed you should not ask the Congress of the United States for a loan Of $6,000,000 as proposed, but for a donation in the form of an appropriation. The coun- try not only owes this to St. Louis and the Louisiana Purchase territory which she represents, but the nation owes it to herself for the great benefits of a national and in- ternational cHaracter, which will be de- rived. Congress appropriated for the Co- lumbian Exposition of 1893, why not for your exposition of 1908?. Besides, Congress has appropriated for Philadelphia, Buffalo and Toledo, as well as in a lesser degree for expositions that have passed, in At- lania, Nashville and Omaha; why not then, for St. Louis? In the evolution of such a vast undertaking as you propose, furds will be needed, which cannot be foreseen by human sagacity. You should leave your organigation free to secure these funds through bonds based upon your gate Fe- ceipts, if necessity comes, and not destroy your credit at the outset by giving a first mortgage to the government, which should not be exacted. “Your undertaking is timely. Just one decade will have elapsed since the Inter- national Exposition at Chicago in 1893. You have a longer period for preparation than we had. for the location at Chicago was only fixed by act of Congress in April, 1900, Our gates opened to the world in exactly three years from that time, which was too brief, but we met the limitations of the situation, and so will you.’’ Mr. F. J. V. Skiff, director of exhibits, and Willard A. Smith, director of Transporta- tion of the Paris Exposition on behalf of the United States, talked entertainingly of the plans outlined for their departments. The closing address of the evening was by ex-Gov. Francig, who made a spirited appeal to those present to aid in making the St. Louis World's Fair a success, He antfounced that on July 4, 1908, a statute of Thomas Jefferson would be unveiled in St. Louis. SPANISH WAR HERO. STABBED Thomas Cooney, Late of the ‘‘Vulcan,”’ Received a Serious Wound From an Ice Pick. wer ---- Edward Stead, a cab driver, and Thomas Cooney, employed at Hardy’s livery stable, were cross charged in the First District Police Court Wednesday. Stead is a tig powerful man. Cooney is small and ir. poor health. They were ar- rested for a disturbance of the peace that occurred in Curley Keyes’ saloon, 221f Chestnut street, at 2 o’clock ‘Wednesday morning. Cooney saye that Stead and a man who was with him got into a fight in the saloon and that Stead picked up an ice pick and siabbed Cooney in the groim with it. Cooney was taken to the City Dispensary where he was arrested. Stead declared that Cooney gtruck him first, and in order to defend himself he picked up an ice pick and that Cooney Tan against it. The bartender and another cab driver testified in Stead’s behalf, but they all tola different stories. Cooney had a _ letter from authorities showing that he had served as fireman on the United States Steamer Vulcan during the Spanish-American war. He also hada Jjetter of rezo>mmendation from the Mayor of Chicago. Judge Sidener telieved Cooney and dis- charged him. Stead was fined $2.

Mayor Ziegenhein and City Officials Accompanied the Party—A Great Success Was Scored. The South Side Lady Minstrels of St. Louis went to Belleville Tuesday night. They saw, they were seen and they con- quered. The populace of Belleville bowed to them and proclaimed them truly great. They overwhelmed them with favore, pelted them with flowers and paid them a tribute of hearty laughter and applause. The Bélile- ville Germans and the Bouth St. Louis Ger- mans shook hands across the footlights and established what the statesmen call “an entente.”’ F The ladies went there to five their show for the benefit of the projected Old Folks’ Home in St. Louls. The lady minstrels, as pretty a bunch of buds as were ever gathered together, went over to Belleville on a special car attached to Conductor Branch’s Air Line train which left Union Station at 5:25 o'clock. The car was filled by the minstrels and their friends, An agent of;:the Air Line was sent along to see that they were properly accom- modated. Mayor Ziegenhein appeared as General Manager, assisted by his Becretavy. Fred Ziegenhein, The Mayor also took Mrs. }iegenhein and a few of his daughters. A Dumber of leading citizens of the South Side were accompanied by their wives and daughters, {Yn the arrival of the train at the Belle- Ville depot Conductor Branch called out, The Center of the Earth.” The Lady Minstrels looked puzzied and all turned to Mayor Ziegenhein for enlightenment. It was an easy one for him. ‘ine center of the earth?’ he said. “Why that means Belleville, of course. Company out!” he minstrels went at once to the opera house, where } anager Stannus, faultlessly arrayed and wearing his full-house smile, welcomed theth. The young ladies ‘put in the next hour trying to cover up all their prettiness. It was a hard job and occu- pied all of that time. At that, they had to use double doses of burnt cork. It is not , 80 easy to undo in one short hour the pains- taking work cf nature for 18 years. The house was beautifully decorated, the | boxes draped with bright colors and the _ prosceniums hidden by giant palms. The ‘performance given was substantially the Same a8 Was given at the Fourteenth Street Theater a week ago. There was one important difference. Thig ‘was a sketch by the premier heavyweight German comedians, Mayors Ziegenhein and Fredericks. Mayor Fredericks made a little talk and announced that Mavor Ziegenhein would make a big talk. Mayor Ziegenhein paid some pretty compliments to Belleville and to Miss Carrie Volmar and assured the eople that the show wae all right, that 3elleville was all right and that St. Louis | was all dy Sok He declined an encore. Miss Juila Volimar was a very bright and clever interlocutor. On either side of her |} Sat Miss Lillian Klein and Miss Blanche brgws young girls in effective costumes of red.

Miss Grace Dean, Miss Minnetta Rodgers The entertainment closed with the Man- hattan Quartette in a singing sketch en- titled ‘In Camp,’’ which was well acted ard well sung. Several of the ladies distinguished them- selves especially, but comparisons will not be drawn. Special credit is, however, due Miss Carrie Volilmar, under whose direction the performance was given. The party returned to St. Louis, the performance, on a special train. The young ladies have set out to raise $00 for the projected home for old folks which is to be built in South St. Louis. They will keep on giving performances un- til they have realized the amount. FOREIGN CONSULS HONORED. Latin-American Club’s Dinner in Wel- come of Mr. Serrano.

BABY’S FACE MASS OF SORES They Almost Closed Her Eyes, Physicians of No Benefit. Healed by CUTICURA. When my little sister was four months old her cheeks became red and inflamed. Smail pimples broke out over her face and it was one masse of scabs, which almost closed her eyes and reached into the corners of her mouth. For several weeks a physician attended ‘her, but as she de. rived littie or no benefit from his treatment we searched for other meane. We bought a cake of CuTieura Soap and a box of CuTicuRa (oint- " ment). Her face healed and she grew healthy again. You can vee this letter as a testimonial. March 19,'98. ROSA BURGER, Solomon, Ky.

Louis Congressmen Agree on a Course to Secure Improvement of the Custom House. Special to the Post-Dispatch. i WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—The three St. Louis representatives have decided upon the course to follow to secure the improvements for the St. Louis Federal building demanded by the people and the Post-Dispatch. Rep- resentative Pearce said to-day: “Mr. Bar- tholdt will introduce a bill providing for the necessary appropriation. It will be referred to the Committee on Public Buil- dings and Grounds, of which he is a mem- ber. We have reason to believe that he will be re-appointed on the committee. This will enable him to prepare the way for a speedy report, and the bill can come be- fore Congress with a favorable recommen- Cation. We do not Know yet just how much money®will be needed, but it will not be as much as the sum estimated by the Treasury Department, and hardly as much as is included in the estimates of Custodian Smith.

MILLS & AVERILL, Broadway and Pine. ST.LOUIS AND THE CONVENTION Opinion in Washington Indicates That This City May Fail to Get the Prize. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—The opinion here seemsS to be that St. Louls does not stand a good chance of getting the Repub- lican National Convention of 1900. The convention will doubtless go to a western city. The city putting up the biggest bonus will receive the greatest consideration, in the opinion of three western members of the epublican National Commitfte, who know the general] drift of. sentiment among pt mem bers. Philadelphia and New York are willing to put up l@rge sums for the entertainment of the committee and the payment of !ts expenses, but Chicago is apt to get the convention. San Francisco’s liberal propositions will probably be turned down, because. of the long trip across the contine nt. “We remember the hospitality of St. Louis and entertain kindly feelings for ft,’ said Senator Mark Hanna, this morning, “but, you know, there are a great many cities anxious. for the honor of entertain. ing the Republican nominating convention next year. They know it’s a winner.” “‘Topsy’s in Town.” OPPOSED TO RAILWAY POOLING. Chicago Board of Trade Places Itself on Record. CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—For making trades in Oats at one price and reporting them at an- other, H, A. Angel has been suspended from the Board of Trade for five years. B. N. Foster and his partner, 8. T. Alex- ander, had the charges against them dis- missed. An attempt to discipline members of the firm of Barrett, Farnum & Co. fell through, as the claims -brought against them for a Gilerince on a trade in wheat have been taken upin a court in New York on an attachment suit and can not be heard here while it is pending. A resolution was adopted by the direc- tors instructing the delegates to the Na- tional Board of Trade from this city, which meets in Washington in January, to oppose railway pooling in @very way.

Browning, King & Co. Broadway and Pine. a =" MRS. LUCY SMITH STOLE BREAD FOR-STARVING CHILDREN. WAS CAUGHT WHILE ESCAPING. Abraham Marglous Insisted on Her Being Locked Up and Prosecuted— A Warrant Was Refused. In -a humble little home on Rankin ave- nue, between Mancehster and Laclede, lives Mrs. Lucy Smith, a widow, and her three children. The widow is sick and the wolf has been clamoring at the door. At 3338 Chestnut street, in a handsome and comfortable home, lives Abraham I. Margliou’s and his family. Mr. Marglous is a retired business man and he has been blessed with a goodly share of this world’s goods. Tuesday night a bakery wagon nouai the Marglous home. The driver stopped his horse, sprang down, and on the rear porch he deposited four loaves of bread. Mrs. Smith saw the wagon stop. She was hurgry and she thought of the little ones at home, who were suffering for bread. The temptation was too great for her. The bread that would do so much good in her own little home, where want was fierce, would surely never be missed in the big and handsome home where luxury was evi- dently no stranger. As the wagon drove away to frail little woman, shivering from cold, crept around the house. She seized the bread and, put- ting the loaves under her tattered and threadbare shawl, she started home with the food. She did not reach that home. As she was leaving the yard Mr. Marg- lous saw her. He stopped her and she, with tears in her eyes, begged that he turn her loose. She said she had stolen, but it was only because ‘her needs were so pressing. Mr. Marglous called a police- man and the woman was taken to the station. The policeman stated the case to the desk sergeant. The official said he did not want to lock up the unfortunate woman. Mr. ‘Marglous insisted on a prosecution. Mrs. Smith was locked uv and all night she suffered in a prison cell while her chil- dren at ‘home wondered what detained their mother. Wednesday morning Mr. the policeman called on Col, and the case was laid before him. vised that no prosecution be made. Marylous was inexorable. “Well, I will issue no warrant against this woman,” said Col. Johnson, with an indignation that he made no effort to re- press. ‘She has been guilty of a larceny. There is no doubt of that. But it would be a greater crime to punish this woman any more than she has been punished, I will order her released at once.”’ Col: Johnson communicated with Capt. Joyce by telephone and Mrs. Smith Was | lowed to depart. TWO PAIRS OF GIRL TWIKS Young Pair of Waifs Are Aunts of the Older Pair—Received at Chil- dren’s Home From Ironton.
