REPUBLICANS HAD DARED THEM THEN OBJECTION BY A DEMOCRAT SPOILS THEIR CHANCE. Heated Debate Causes Startling Re- marks by Lentz and All the Other Party Leaders Soon Become Involved in an Exciting Demonstration Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—The debate on the gold standard bill came to a dramatic close late this afternoon with such scenes of excitement and confusion as have not been seen since the war with Spain was declared. The speech-making was over, and only a few minutes remained until the appointed hour for closing the debate. The managers of the bill desired to em- phasize the complete abandonment of the 16 to 1 doctrine, and so the flery Dalzell of Pennsylvania taunted the silver men for not bringing forward an amendment for free silver coinage at 16 to 1. Imme- diately the House was in a babel of con- fusion. Mr. Bailey of Texas and Mr. Richardson of Tennessee shouted them- selves hoarse trying to gain recognition for a silver amendment, while Mr.: Sulzer of New York was so vehement in proposing his silver amendment that the Sergeant-at- Arms was ordered to put the New York member in his seat. The whole House was in an uproar and indescribable con- fusion prevailed. While the silver men were thus shouting for recognition, Mr. Driggs of Brooklyn and Mr. Levy of New York had inter- posed objection to ahy amendment. A single objection sufficed, and so the last chance of a 16 to 1 amendment disap- peared. The general debate upon the currency Dill closed yesterday and to-day the bill was read for amendment under the five-minute rule. Under a pro forma amendment Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio got the floor to reply to ome of the statemenis made by Mr. Balley yesterday. He had read a quotation from a speech made by ‘Mr. Bailey during the debate on the Dingley bill, predicting that if that bill failed to bring prosperity the Republicans would not live long enough to secure an audience from the people upon the proposition that they could be made happy by increased taxation. In view of that prophecy Mr. Grosvenor thought the Republicans could view with equanimity Mr. Baliley’s forebodings of yesterday. (Mr. Clark of Missouri made an amusing speech, poking fun at the Republicans for their efforts to secure consolation from the late elections. It reminded him, he said, of the boy who, in response to a guestion as to affairs at home, replied: “Oh! Very well. Mother and sister are Gead, hut we managed to pull the old man through.”’ With comb cut, both wings broken and tail feathers out, the Republicans were crowing because ‘the old man had pulled through. The only person who, he thougn', was entitled to extract comfort from the election was Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio. He _— pulled the old man through. (Laugh- aay Mahon of Pennsylvania criticised Mr. Bailey for not frankly admitting, as (Mr. Sibley of Pennsylvania had done, that the return of prosperity was due to the re- storation of the Republican party to power. Mr. Levy of Newsy York announced his intention of voting Tor the bill, although he did not agree with some of its provisions. Mr. Fitzgerald of New York announced his intention of voting for the-bill, but bit- terly denounced its banking features. He gave it as his opinion that the enactment of the bill into law would be of incalculable service to the Democratic party in remov- ing the money question from politics for at least six years. Mr. Norton of Ohio e expressed the belief that the pending bill was the culmination of a gigantic money trust. This trust, he declared, was at the foundation of the al- liance between Great Britain and the United States, which existed at this hour. The Republicans jeered this utterance. The Democrats gave Mr. pte den of New York a round of applause when he announced that he would keep step with the national Democracy and vote against the bill. There were, he thought, some good features in the bill which he would vote for. But as a whole he would vote against it. Mr. Crow of Pennsylvania, in speaking for the bill, gave an interesting resume of the history of the national debt to show that the pledge of the government to pay its bonds an redeem the greenbacks in “coin” meant “gold.” Mr. Carmack of Tennessee said he did not believe that’ it was evidently intended by this bill to strengthen and reform the currency. The real purpose was to make all government obligations payable in gold. he .debate was enlightened at this point by a bout between Mr. Brown (Rep.) of Ohio and Mr. Clark (Dem.) of Missouri. The former resented what he regarded as a slight put upon the memory of the late President layes in some remarks made by Mr. Clark earlier in the“ day Mr. Brown a a Sowres tribute to the memory of Hay In reply Mr. ak declared that Mr. Hayes was a “counterfeit president,”’ for whom he had a supreme contempt even though he was dead. “He stole the pres'- dency,”’ said he, ‘‘the greatest crime in the tide of times. I wish he could have lived forever and borne the scorn of decent men to the end of the world. His sepulcher should bear the words: ‘This man was Sane 4 of the monumental crime against uman liberty.’ “Now.”’ concluded Mr. Clark as he retired to his seat, “If they can make anything of that let them make it.”’ Mr. Clark's words were received in silence on both sides of the House. The debate then lapsed into dullness for an hour, interrupted only by a brief but x exchange between Mr. Payne (Rep.) New York and Mr. Balley (Dem.) of hag The eemer ees, a core’ se niggers By os Mr. Bailey’ 4 or the nate a Balley countering y saying that the gentie- man from New York was never 80 serious as when he tried to be funny, and never so funny as when he tried to be serious.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1809, by the Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Dec. 16.—Gen, Buller’s reverse en route to Colenso is recognized as a stu- pendous national catastrophe. The press calls for calmness and fortitude in the face of the misfortune. There is calmness, but it is the calmness of stupefaction. The En- glishypeople have lost all confidence in their generals. The jingo press can only call for more men and more guns, but the thoughtful people realize that increasing the force meang only increasing the sac- rifice without any increased hope of euc- cess under the commanders who have s0 gravely blundered: Unless some unexpected triumph. sud- denly transforms the whole situation it is deemed certain that European mediation will be. proposed by Russia or France. The English prese is united in asseverat- ing in all moods and tenses that the war must be pursued to a triumphant end, ff It costs the last man and the last penny Great Britain can provide. The very violerice of these protestations show the consctousness of weakening, and after a fow more experiences like those of Gen. Buller, Lord Salisbury will be ready erough for mediation, throwing Colonial Secretary Chamberlain to the wolves al- ready howling for hin. Seeing the impreg- nable front Gen. Joubert has presented 10 Gen. Buller’s superior force at Colenso, mil- itary experts believe it practically impos- sible for the English army to evef force its way through the Drakensberg range of mountains which guard the borders of te Transvaal. Gen. Buller, before leaving for South Africa, had a long consultation on the sit- nation with Sir William. Butler, ex-oom- mander-in-chief at Cape Town, whom the jingo press is dishonestly endeavoring to make a scapegoat for the present disas- ters. Buller, in conciusion, said to Butler, who is regarded as really the ablest strat- egist in the British army: “If any supreme need arises I shall ask Lord Wolseley to send you out.’ Butier replied: “I shall go if Wolseley has the courage to send me,”" meaning that Wolseley is too much a popularity hunter to,run in the face of the public prejudice that was being manufactured against him. Buller, true to his word, asked for But- ler after the Gatacre 6nd Methuen re- verses, but Wolseley, a# Butler predicted, was afraid, and is sending instead Hector McDonald, another officer of Gataore’s type. Fifteen transports are due to arrive at Cape Town between ‘Dec. 17 and Jan. 8 with 16,000 troops of all arms, but unless Gen. Buller is able to renew the attack, which is exceedingly doubtful, the British generals will be compelled for another fort- night or more to remain practically on the defensive. The generals are getting “useful but ex- pensive lessons in modern tactics, says the Standard. “The guilt of the government,” the Star BULLER’S GED GEN ERALS. The Officers Who Lea Led the Troops | 1.

Mrs. Schmitt wife of the rele Sisters of St. Francis. says: “I suffered this winter with a se- vere attack of la grippe, and havitig re- peatedily heard of the value of Peruna in such cases I thought I would try it. I used it faithfully and began to feel a change for the better the second day, and in the course of a week I was very much improved. After using three bottles I not only found that the zrippe had disappeared, but my general health was much better. I em satisfied that Peruna is a wonderful family remedy and gladly endorse it. Yours, Mrs. Theophile Schmitt.” La grippe leaves the system saturated by catarrh. This condition is known as sys- temic catarrh. Perund “4s the only remedy. Allow no one to persuade you that there is | any other remedy just as good. Mr. Frank Bauer, Minneiska, Minn., recent letter, says: “I cannot say anything elee but good of your medicines. For seven winters I had suffered with la grippe, and by each attack was confined to the bed. In the winter of "98 I was attacked with la grippe. I had a terrible cough. I asked my wife to get me a bottle of Peruna, but as the druggist did not have it she got me somethirg else that in a /accidemally found a et ee ; me: costing the same as Peruna. I took that, “I told my wife that if I did not get Pe- runa soon that I would surely be a grippe Victim, as my lungs felt as if knives were sticking in them. “My wife went to town and got mea a bot- tle of Peryna, and I took it four days ac- cording to the directions on the bottle, The fifth day I took an axe on my shoulder and went out into the woods to chop wood, “I had another slight attack, but as I had Peruna in the house it caused me but one trying night. My wife wanted to send for the doctor, but I took small doses of Peruna every half none and improved right along.” Mrs. M. C.

It happened that Mr. Vandever (Dem.) of Missouri got the floor next, and his appearance caused an outburst of laughter. “The speech of the gentleman from Indiana,’ said he, ‘‘is ‘the most unkindest cut of all.’ It is true that we then believed that fat-witted oc- cupant of the White House was a Bom crat. But now we know he is @ Reyer Hcan. And you are welcome to him, added with a wave of his hand toward the Republican side, amid Demecratic ap- aoe. Mr. Lentz of Ohio charged, that the ending biil had been prepared by the F600 national banks, a secret combination that wiekded more influence than the Ma- gonic fraternity, the Odd Fellows and the Red Men combined. The bill was intended to increase the powers of the national banks. All the rest that was in it was al- ready in the law. As he proceeded, Mr. Lentz’s remarks became sensational. ‘We are in favor of renominating William Jennings Bryan,’ said he, “and we will ut in a plank against trusts, we will put fh a plank against imperialism and we will put in a plank against the British alliance, an alliance that is now open and apparent. (Applause from the Democratic side.) They are shooting down liberty in South Africa while you are shooting it down in the Philippine islands. (Applause on the Dem- ocratic side.) That is vauidenen sufficient that both governments are eg upon arallel lines. The first blossom of libert n the Orient to be cut off by the Repubiil- can party of the United States, the first substantial struggle for liberty in Africa to be mowed down in its infancy by the Queen of England, with the Czar asking for a peace conference! m3 things are not inside eut, how can the Republican party stand impotent and silent - (applause on the Deseectarte side), is tha: the source of your prosperity? Is your svu- bordination of "Bro e and Miles and ee a won the most magnificent naval victory tha ° is that the cause of your prosperity? (Ap- | plause on the Democratic side.) You will live to be ashamed of your record.’’ In the closing hour of the debate, Mr. Gaines of Tennessee r . the following telegram from W. J. Br; in reply to a message sent him regardine his interview on the House currency bill a few days ago, in which Mr. Gaines stated that his application of the term ‘“‘Democracy” was being perverted here: “Austin, Tex., Dec. 16.—Hon. John W. Gains, Washington, se el “Have seen report in mornfhg paper but do not recall any interview which is in the language criticised. Have said that bill is bad in every particular and should be defeated, but have not said that it would be hurtful to Democratic party or Democ- racy; believe it will injure the country and it ought to drive out of the Republican par- ty all sincere believers in bimetailism. " J. BRYAN.” Mr. DeArmond of Missouri closed the debate on the Democratic side. He called attention to the fact that only one section of the bill had been read and no opportuni- ty had been given to amend the bill. He declared that it was the opinion on the minority side that the bill was designed to create a huge, ee ere | and all-pervad- ing bank trust. He had intended to offer an amendment, but the section to which it would app! had not beeri reached. He had it read at the clerk’s desk. It provided that it should be unlawful for ayy bank under its provisions to combine with any other bank for the purpose of increasing or re- stricting the.coin in circulation, credit or iaterest. That amendment, Mr. DeArmond said, if ado ted might help to prevent the fruition of the scheme in this bill. By this bill the Government would issue no more money. The issue of money was to be turned over by it to the banks so long 4s they operated the power in'the interests of themselves and the Republican party. The scenes attending ths close of the de- bate were exciting and dramatic. When Mr. DeArmond concluded but 2 minutes remained before the debate was to close under the rule. Mr, Richardson, the mi- nority leader, assumed to be the purpose of the Repub- to take that time to close the de- bate. He demanded the fegular order. Thereupon Mr. Grosvenor (Rep.) of Ohio got the floor for five minutes, which ho occupied “in taunting the Democrats for their” “evident desire to abandon free silver at 16 to 1." During the six days’ debate, he said, the House had heard no arguments for free silver, and he humorously hailed this fact as a sign of the coming enera- tion of the party. In conclusion, he said that out of the debate had come the settled conviction on both sides of the House that” the enactment of the pending measure would we into law the policy which had pte and guided the country for nearly ae Richardson indignantly denied Mr. Grosvenor’s assertion of the pro abandonment of the issue of free silver. He said that tf the gentleman from Oklo had followed the debate he must have heard some strong speeches in favor of free sil- ver.

He Has Not Changed on the Phillipine Question. . A LETTER To EDMUNDS. COUNTRY, HE SAYS, IS NOT ent COMMITTED TO IMPERIALISM. ‘We May Yet Earn the Gratitude of the Men We Sought to Conquor ‘by Fair Dealing and Retirement. WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Senator Hoar has written a letter to former Senator Ed- munds replying to an invitation to be pres- ent at a meeting to be held to-morrow morning to discuss the Philippine question. Senator Hoar declined to attend because be thinks that what he will have to say on the Philippine question will be more ef- fective if said in his place in the Senate than elsewhere. He says: “T have not changed the opinion I formed and expressed last winter, except that it has been confirmed and strengthened by what has hap since. If we had dealt with the people of the Philippine Islands @s we undertook to deal with ghe people of Cuba, whom we declared—ahd they cer- tainly had no better ‘title—of right ought to be free and independent; if instead ef un- Mertaking to buy ‘them and then under- taking to subjugate them by force, we had aesmired them of our purpose to respect their rights; to protect them against foreign interference; to aid them to restore order gnd to leave them whenever they should @Ajesire, to the blessing of free of self-government, we should have had no ‘war, we should have had no loss of Hife. We should have had no large expenditure of money. We should not have trampled on the 4ectrines upon which our own inati- tutions are founded. We should not have contradicted the pledges of our fathers. We should not have dishonored our own great history. We should not have incurred the undying hatred of the people of the Philip- pine Isiands. “Terrible mischief has been already ace« through the blunder of last winter's treaty. ut it is not too late to retrace out steps. Congress has not yet ' committed itself to the policy of imperial- iemn. Stil) less are the American people S80 committed. It is not too late to as- sure the peoplé of the Philippine Islands we will not trample them under foot or compel them to obey us against their will; that we will protect them against foreign cupidity; that we will aid them to restore orcer; that we will help them in every way in our power to establish for them- selves such a government as they may de- sire; that thereafter our relations to them will be only those of friends and equals. “If that were done, peace could be re- complished stored in an hour, Order and prosperity and happiness would prevail instead of war and devastation. The flag of the United States, which it is eought to make the . Symbol of conquést and oppression, would be as it has ever been till now, a symbo] of liberty and hope to all the nations of the earth. Withdrawn_only from territory over which it waves without right it would continue to wave over that moral field over which it is in*rightful supremacy and from which it could never be hauled down.” tere) SAVE YOUR LIFE From Bright’s Disease, Diabetes, Lame Gack, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Bladder Troubles, Female Complaints, and Every Form of Kidney Troubles, Cincinnati’s Tribute to the Science of Medicine By Sending a Trial Bottle Free to Every Sufferer. It has been left for Cincinnati to startle the world with the long sought for remedies for heretofore fatal maladies.

Lafayette Pryor Mysterionsly Murdered. & A, FOUND DEAD IN HIS FAMILY AROUSED BY ODOR OF BURNT POWDER. Pryor Discovered Lying in Bed, in a Pool of Blood, With a 22-Caliber Bullet Hole in the Right Eye. VANDALIA, Ill, Dee 16—Lafayette Pryor, a well-to-do farmer, living two miles east of Vandalia, was murdered last night ‘while asleep in his room. ‘Mystery surrounds the affair. Wnder the dead man’s pillow was found $28. Who committed the mur- der and or what reason are questions which are now puzzling the officers and members of the Pryor family. Grover, the 10-year-old son of the mur- dered man, was sleeping with his father and mother. Arthur, another son, “4 years of age, slept in another bed ém the sare room. About 3:30 o’clock this morning Grover was aroused by some strange noise, He woke his mother, who also called to her older son, Arthur. The odor of burnt powder was detected. A lamp was lightod by Arthur Pryor and an examination made of the room. which resulted In the dis- covery of the father lying in bed, in a pool of blood, with a 22-caliber pistol shot wound in the right eye. The doors leading into the sleeping room and the back kitchen were found wide open, What adds to the mystery was the find- ing of a target rifle of the same caliber as the bullet that killed the husband and father standing in a corner in the adjoin- ing room from where the murder occurred, It ie said that the gun had been borrowed a day or two before by young Pryor to kill rabbits and had been placed against the wall the evening before. It contained no load, and if it was the weapon used by the murderer he drew the shell after firing the deadly ball and placed the gun against the wall, where it had been stand- ing. Lafayette Pryor, the murdered man was noted for his eccentricities and it is known by his neighbors that he and Mrs. Pryor did not get along peacefully together. Pry- or would often leave home and be gone a year at a time, his whereabouta being un- known to hig family. Lately the murdered man and his wife had some business trans- actions in which Mrs. Pryor, it is sad, paid over to her husband $300, in payment for his (Pryor’s) interest in the’ home place, and $228 were found under Pryor’s pillow this morning, where he ley dead. Pryor, it is said, was preparing to leave on an- other journey next week. Coroner Cox held an inquest this after- noon, but no evidence could be elicited throwing any light on the perpetrator of the deed and the jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the facts. NO LONGER FEAR OF CONTAGION Montgomery City Believed to Have Been Freed of Smallpox. Special to the Post-Dispatch. MEXICO, Mo., Dec. 16.—The physicians and health authorities of Montgomery City have issued a bulletin stating that the danger from smallpox is about over. The bulletin states the situation as follows: There are six cases of smal!pox in the quarantine hospital, all colored. They are mild cases and are recovering. An armed guard stands night and day to prevent them from leaving the hospital and to keep others from going there. There are two .cases of chickenpox among children in white families In town. These are also isolated to await a time when there will be no question whatever of the diagnosis. The cases of undoubted smallpox are so well guarded that there is no danger of infection from them.

Dec. 16.—It is feared that this disastrous war will kill Queen Victoria. | Her Majesty is more than 8 years of age, _ | but for the first time in her long life she ecomplains of insomnia. The repeated reverses, the heavy losses of her troops, prey so incessantly on the Queen's mind she cannot sicep. Her intense anxiety is more easily under- gtood when one remembers that many of the officers comamnding the troops in South Afrioa are—or were—personally known to t Her Majesty and many of the troops are (those who closely surrounded her. | Prolific as it has been in the triumphs of peace, the din of war has sounded through 88 of the 62 years of Her Majesty's reign.

But in all the wars of 62 years, bar the : meen, tha checks to British arms have ‘oth been trifling compared to the repulses - (inflicted by the Boers. | When Sir Redvers Buller took leave of ‘Her Majesty on his departure to take com- @nand in South Africa, the assured her the \evar would be difficult, but would soon end.

To con- vince herself, she has sent for Lord Wolse- ley and cross-questioned him. Indeed Wol- seley was at Windsor when the news of the disaster at the Tugela River arrived, and he took a spec'al train to Luondon. Or, if she does not call Wolseley, the Queen sends Sir Arthur Bigge to London with a series of questions touching the for- tunes of the war, which she herself dic- tates.

Full of anguish as she is, the Queen. The news of Buller’s reverse was telephoned to Windsor on Friday night and was communicated, after dinner, to Her Majesty by her second secretary, Sir Fleet- wood Edwards. Sir Arthur Bigge was in iLondon making inquiries commanded by Her Majesty, and he remained here until this morning, in the hope that he coud convey to her later and more hopeful in- telligence. It was hours later before the war office gave out Buller’s report.

She loves her soldiers; thelr fealty to her, personally, is stronger even than their loy- alty to the empire.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Nearly one year azo when the public was speculating more end unscrupulous promoters were launch- ing ‘“‘wild cat’’ industrial companies by the score upon the credulous, the people , » ‘were warned against these over-capitalized ‘concerns and the prediction was made that jess than one-fourth of them would earn dividends on their common stock within two years. oa Of the remainder, their capitalization was B60 enormously out of proportion to their earning capacity that there was little hope } @nhy wouki ever pay dividends except upon their cumulative preferred etock. The pub- lic was warned that unless it sought in- lvestments among properties which pos- ‘sessed actual merit or chose vehicles of speculation more substantial than these concerns, ruin would inevitably result. The threatened disaster has come. The glittering promises made by the promoters when they unloaded these industrial shares upon the unwary have but in a few in- " gtances been kept, with the exception of a few of the steel properties which have been enjoying unexampled prosperity, and which have earned and probably will pay divid- ends in January on their common stock. The majority of the great industrials have failed to fulfill the hopes, or rather the pretensions, o@ their organizers and have actually brought the country to the verge of a financial panic during a period of the greatest commercial and industrial thrift it has ever known. Within the year the market value of the industrial shares traded in on the New York Stock Exchange has decreased by the enormous sum of $420,000,88, while those dealt in on the “curb” have slumped, it is estimated, no less than $200,000,000. In Bos- ton, where the speculation has been equally eas wild in the copper shares, the value of mining stocks has fallen $200,000,000, making @ grand total of no less than $850,000,000. This has come out of the pockets of the people. The big speculators have foreseen | this consummation and have profited by it. They have; indeed, assisted the natural agérncies at work in the market and by the process of selling the stock “‘on the short” f/ have turned the public’s losses into enor- mous gains for themselves. Those who have studied the situation closely attribute the present monetary stringency to the opera- tion of underwriting these great industrials, which was undertaken by the New York SIDEBOARDS, Slightly damaged, at less than : cost of the lumber.

KIPLING, Chapter I. This is the story of a sokifer fit to be @ soldier and the romance that was car- ried into his life across the Pacific by the Sunday Post-Dispatch. On Oct. 2 three American Sdidiers, boon “companions, sat down to a holiday dinner just outside the camp at Dalisay, in -the It was a rare occasion. Aguinalio, the sprinter, was forgotten for the moment as Coleman, Flanery and Bradley surveyed the good things before them, They had been soldiers just a month, and the feast was, as Bradley expressed been on the table all the time. The paper used as a table cloth was a portion of the magazine section of the Sunday Post-Dis- os of May 14. When the boys saw what was all three grabbed for it at once. The result was that the precious sheet was torn in three parts. The boys lighted long, black cigars that had been suppiied as part of the feast and greedily devoured the printed matter on their respective sections of the prosoay paper. “Look here, foliows,"’ said ope as he turned his portion of the pa ere are pon pictures of three pretty St. Louls wom- "He held up the fragment and exhibited three splendid photo-engravings.« They were reproductions of the photographs of Miss Daisy G. Payne, Miss Stella E, Bau- mann and Mrs. A. D. Cunningham, all of St. Louis. To the boys in the Philippines a vision of feminine loveliness, even though it be only a picture, is a rare thing; a thing to be talked about for hours and thought about for weeks.

A, The repast was so bounteous that these three particular soldiers, who nad been used to home comforts before they jd@ined the army, felt the necessity of making the appointments a little more pretentious than those of the usual mess. Of course, a table was out of the ques- tion. Their comrades sat about upon the ground eating their long-wished-for good meal. Here and there a palm leaf spread upon the grass supplied the place of a table. “rhe three soldiers who figure in thie sto a gee pted a soap box on which to sprea heir unusual repast. A piece of a news- was their table cloth. t the ging of the repast the at- three was centered on aay puiaed thn Siem ct chicka anery sh of chic aa the eighth time that their attention was ‘diverted to another good thing which had “Death lovey a woman.

The soldier boys sang songs and smoked black cigars and swapped sto- ries and smoked more black cigars. Three members of company M, were not among the merry makers. Coleman, Flan- ery and Bradley sat in their tents perusing their fragments of the Sunday Post-Dis- teh by the light of a tallow candle. Con- ersation turned on the the three pictures of the beautiful St. Louis women which had fallen to the lot of Bradley when the di- vision was m Bradley had already suggested that each of the three write to one of the ladies.

He was laboriously writing a letter by the dim light of the candle.

I suppose little di ou think when you saw your picture in the St. uls Post-Dispatch on May 14, 1899, that that paper would be used for a table cloth by three soldier boys in the Philippines, but such is the case. It was used by Tiliman Coleman of Vin- cennes, Ind., James Flanery of Beattyville, Ky., and myself. As we were eating our holiday supper, the oc- casion being the monthly anniversary of our en- listment, and the programme being chicken, ees, canned peas, coffee, biscuit, lemonade and cigars on the side, and as we were talking goog | during the meal, it was suggested that we eac write a few lines to one of the young ladies, there being three pictures of St. Louis’ beautiful women. So I said I would write to Miss Daisy, as I was a little partial to the name Daisy.

The con- clusion of the cage, in view of the evidence of police, partici- pants and spectators that the bout was a boxing exhibition, may be anticipated, But the conclusion of this case merely reopens tfie main question as to the revival of prize fighting in St. Louis. Everybody knows that the legalization of prize fighting un- der the cover of athletic clubs is a sham and an evasion of the spirit, if not the letter, of the law. The crucial dis- tinction between the legalized boxing exhibition and the prize fight is the purse. When men fight for a purse the contest is a professional prizé fight. The men fight to knock out or win, regardless of the brutality of the contest. Brutality is an essential part of purse fighting. It is as different as the boxing exhibition for sport, or even for pay which does not depend upon the result, as night from day. If the law really permits professional prize fighting under the cover of sham club organizations, the law is faulty and should be amended so as to exclude the slugging matches for a prize. No amount of supervision will prevent the prize fight from degetierating into a brutal and brutalizing specta.- cle with an occasional killing. If the law is merely being evaded by legal technicalities and official pretenses the peo- ple of St. Louis should enter a protest against the outrage, which will insure the enforcement:of the law. St. Louis has gone too far now in the mire of professional pugilism, The Federal Council of the German Empire has decreed that the twentieth century begins January 1, 1900. Now let it decree that black is white. But the council is a mere in- strument of despotism. The only way to settle the question is to refer it to the people. Let the American people decide it at the ballot box. Then we shall know what's what. What ean the astronomers and despotic councils say in the face of a democratic verdict? _ i a A THE TRUSTS IN THE COUNTRY DISTRICTS. The Fulton Sun puts the case against the trusts very neatly: ’ “In 1899 the white paper the Sun was printed on cost us $1360,” says the Sun. “In 1900 the same paper (same in quality and same amount), will cost us at present trust prices $2180, a difference of $820 in the cost of one item—white paper. Type and inks have also advanced in price, and the wages. to employes cannot be made any lower. The Sun is between the Paper Trust, the Type Trust and the Machinery Trust on‘one side and our subscribers on the other. The Sun is between two stones and the mill is grinding.” Exactly; and the United States Government is furnishing the grinding power. As the Sun points out, “the tariff of $6.00 per ton on paper has enabled the International Paper Co., a trust, to advance the price of paper 658 per cent.” There are tariffs also on spruce wood and wood pulp. The remedy is in the hands of the people. Withdraw the grinding power by abolishing the protective tariff. We can- not consistently whine about the trusts while we ourselves promote their growth by fool legislation. The two women who are to start a magazine for bachelors, which will approve bachelorhood, are likely to hear from their sisters in every part of the world. Of all creatures not to be tolerated by the sweet sex, the confirmed bachelor stands first. Possibly the magazine will be simply a dis- guised effort to allure all bachelors from their singleness. They will do well to be on their guard. The Republican Senate, in refusing to inquire into the matter of our alliance with the Filipinos, pretends to fear that such an inquiry would encourage the “rebels,” who, according to Gen. Otis, have been defeated and scattered. What the Republican Senate really fears is the conscience of- the American people. —--—# 4: It is greatly to be regretted that Queen Victoria has not more influencé in the British Empire. This year the good woman will exclude all war toys from the $1500 worth which she will distribute among her little descendants.

It seems to me that St. Louis, with all her public schools, still wants one that can be called the reform school, for nope only, from the age of 8 to 14 years. There are more boys that don’t go to school than any one can imagine. This institution ought to be for those boys. don’t mean crimi- nals, only .boys that are incorrigible and cannot be mastered at home. While at such a school let them learn some kind of trade. I have one who is 10 years old, and so speak feelingly, and I know of two or three more families who have the same trouble with their boys as I have and none of them over 13 years. Now, if the institution was right here in the city it would prevent a lot of boys from loafing on the streets and learning all the viickedness there is in this world. There are plenty of ‘places for girls, but what we want is one for our small boys, where they can be trained to be useful men and learn obedience, respect and grati- tude for all that is done for them. A MOTHER. Dr. Holland Finds a Defender. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I think Dr. Holland is right when he says: ‘1A: curse of to-day is the begetting of chil- dren in lust, the bringing into the world of more mouths to feed when the begetter is struggling to feed his own. It is the crime of the age.”” The subject should be stripped of mawkish sentimentality and viewed in the light of common sense. A correspondent says: “Any one who is at all informed is not ignorant of the fact that much involuntary poverty exists be- cause of lack of employment.” ‘That is true, but is it any reason po | existence should be forced upon helpless offspring and they be sent into the world to starve and suffer? Children have rights though not al- ways recognized; and the first unhlienable right is to be born under proper conditions and have for parents only those who are physically. mentally and morally fitted for that sacred responsibility. . From the hovels and the slums the cries of thé children reach up to Heaven in help- less misery, gaunt and haggard witnesses aingt the bestiality and brutal selfishness that forced them into being and a life of abject poverty and privation. I have no words of condemnation strong enough for the perpetrators of such crimes. The married life is man’s natural state if he does not degrade it by his actions, and the ‘qualifications he needs to escape the hog wallow’ ”’ are sobriety, industrv, chas- tity and will power. Once in a cerffury we may find a man unselfish enotgh to love the woman he would make his wife more than himself, and would sacrifice himself rather than drag ther down to penury and want. 1 admire the principle of the unfortunate man who “could not find it in his heart to risk the hog wallow,’’ but deplore the means he employed to escape it. t would have been braver and nobler to live for God himself requites. A LOVER OF CHILDREN, St, Louis, Did Christ Teach Communism? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I desire to thank you for your editorial in this evening's (Post-Dispatch under head “Begging the Question,” One of Dr. Holland’s expressions reads thus: “Communism began and ended in the savage tribe.’’ But Rev, 'W. W. Boyd, accordin article in last Sunday’s Post-Dispatch, seems to read the: Bible without “inter- pretation in glasses,’”’ read it just like per- sons not pbelongi to the Christian churches, ‘and he finds that the Man from Nazareth and his followers were commun. to his ists. Which of these two divines is Christian? Both can not ery be. Was the Chris- tian’s God during this earthly career a savage? Dr. Holland most assuredly ‘believes in an everlasting hell. As long as this idea is controll the minds of the powerful and ruling class, we can not expect ‘any better social and economic arrangement, not even in a limited way. People can not be better than their ideals and of course pone will think of being better thea his N od, N. St. Louis. St. Louis Wants the Best. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

VAST INTERESTS INVOLVED A Case Affecting 110,000 Acres of Land Argued in the Mississippi Supreme Ccurt. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 16.—A case Involv- ing directly over 110,000 acres of land, and incidentally it has been estimated anges 1,000,000 acres, owned largely by individu- als over the entire delta, was argued this week before the Supreme Court. e style of the case is the scolestans Levee Boar ve. Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroa Company. Judge Mayes appeared for the company, and Messrs. Sillers and Jones represented the levee board This is the second time which this suit has been before the Supreme Court, On a former occa- sion the boards was the appellant from the decision of Chancellor ey in which he sustained the demurrer filed by the rail- road company to the original Dil. That de- cree was reversed and the bill was amed- ed. To the amended Dil) the railroad company filed its demurrer’ containin forty-one causes why the bill should no be maintained. The bill seeks to recover from the railroad company 110,000 acres of land lying in the-Bolivar County, or in the alternative to recover the taxes due the levee board for the years 1866-67-68-6¥-7U-71-72 the levee board contends that the sale of these lands to the liquidating levee board was first itllegai because sales had prior to that time been made to What was known as the “‘ten-cent levee board.”’ The present board of levee commissioners claim as the successor of the ten-cent levee board, and that subsequent statutes passed by the State Legislature in order to con- firm the title in the liquidating levy board did not have that effect. The chancellor in the proceeding last re- ferred to overruled the demurrer and the railroad company this time appealed. The ease is now awaiting decision upon the numerous points assigned in that demur- rer. No case of recent years involves such vast interests and in case the title gotten through the liquidating levee board should be avoided, there would be a total derange- ment of land titles in a large portion of the delta, affecting not only the railroad com- pany, but large and small landed proprie- tors throughout that section, THINKS PRAYER CURED HER _@——__..

After seeing the wonderful result Mrs. Hawkins decided to devote her life to the work of helping ber sisters everywhere, whom she found suffering as she had suffered from the effects of alcoho! upon a husband, father or son. With the absist- ance of others she perfected the original treatment, and now offers to send this treatment free to every distressed wife, mother or sister who will write for it. Mrs. Hawkins bas means of her own, and no charge whatever is made for the treatment, because her great desire is that every woman who needs this medicine will write at once to her and get it. Mre.

Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 16.—There’s \a Warm time ahead, according to Mrs, A, Elberson of South Bend, Ind., who is here to spread the news that the world is coming to an end in February, 19, Mrs. Elberson has abandoned her business to travel about and warn sitiners of the proximity of the end. Her exhortations are effectively rein- forced with a chart with diagrams on it “Showing that the world is a globe filled *with sizzling fire, which will break out and consume the earth and all on it, including the author of that highiy artistic tong, “Wouldn't You Like to Be the leeman?’ There have been prophets before this who have predicted the end of the world, but the genuine in this line has, so far, failed to appear. Mrs. Elberson says she is it, al- taough she can hardly claim to be the ortginal one. She proves the veracity of her prophecies by quoting from a series of Visions. In reply to a question, she said: God told me seven years ago, ahd vis- fons by others have confirmed what was told me. Satan has been very busy in this generation deceiving the people with false alarms. The seventh day or Sabbath (or mj) ennium) is about to be ushered in. he voice to me was wonderfully calm end distinct, but inaudible, ‘as never man spake. Neither did I speak audibly to film. Neither had I any thoughts while He Was talking to me.” This firstevision, Mrs. Elberson says, came in Febr@ary, 1893, and as the voice said the millennium was coming in seven years, ebruary, 1900, is evidently the date. “I Was miraculously caused to forget the day it was given,” she explained, apojlogetically, When asked on just what day the end will come. Mrs. Pilberson quoted the visions of oth- ers in support of her dream. A colored woman near Basin street and the Basin, Néw Orleans, La., in April, 1899, told me her vision of Christ coming to her three years ago and saying: “The battle is a@imost over, the abominations of those that ree to come in Yy name, have come up efore God.’ Then it seemed to her, like the earth exploded, and rolled together like a rs ogy, of fir and brimstone and black e. “A mulatto dressmaker in Palatka, Fla., February, 1899, said she believed the end mear, because she had a dream that ‘a boat Came down from the sky to take the church people on, and only a few got in. After they got up from the earth they eard awful screaming below.’ In Jerusalém, Palestine, in 1895, a highly @ducated and aged English lady took it into her head that she cou'd count by the Zodaic, when ‘Christ comes,’ by a double diagram. And when she began a distinct but inaudible voice said: ‘You can count it.’ And she got it six months sooner than God gave to me. When [ told her, she said: You have it right, I only made a little mistake.’ ” “My _ last visionary dream,” continued Mrs, Elberson, ‘‘was April 24. 1899 My dead husband appeared to me and I asked ; him, ‘How are you here” He said: ‘I arose ust a short. time before the time, have no ear, you will not die, the end is near for asked: “When is that time?’ : ‘In February, 1900, wi!l be the end things.’ A while before I had an Unusual fear of death.”’ Mrs. Elberson’s theory as to how the end will come jis novel. ‘The earth will ex- piode,”” said she, “and roll tegether. The stronomers, Sir Robert Ball and Garret . Servis, say ‘that great cracks in the ocean bottom are likely some day to let the Sea water into the fiery interior of the earth, that would cause an explosion that would destroy every vestige of life. and there would Be no more sea.’ ” She is stopping at 630 Fifth street. TOLD BY THE SPIRITS —_ WOMAN’S ADVICE AIDS THREE OIL WELL OWNERS. CHICAGO, Dec. 16.—This ‘es a story of two men, a woman, a woman's faith in ecultism and $100,000. Moreover, it is ab- solutely true. One of the men is a large merchant.in Chicago, who, by dint of ener- gy and brains, has attdined a position of wealth and influence in the important trade in which he is engaged: The other, who is a resident of Ohio, is equally prominent there, and besides, is widely known here. Both are about as hard headed business Men as can bé found in a day’s walk. Two years ago, together with a third man, & resident of Chicago, they became inter- ésted in West Virginia lands supposed to be oil-bearing. Nothing was done to de- velo # est Virginia oil company ciaimed title ‘to it under a plea of scme sort and an- nounced its purpose to sink a well. the west at the time, but on news of the seizure reaching him he te’egraphed to his wife, who is an exceptionabiy Man, to represent him at a conference with ‘the other two men. ' Tt took the three only a few moments to decide to transfer the dispute to the courts, hey jointly paid a large fee to West Vir- injia lawyers end begun sult for the re- very of the property and for damages Their lawyers informed them there was no question that their rights would be restore and at the preliminary hearing the rulings of the court indicated their view was cor-. rect. The other parties in the litigation appeared to think likewise, for inside of 86 days after action was begun they made proposals for settlement, which were de- clined.

Heary Neise’s Death. KILLED IN A PRIZE FIGHT. POLICE WITNESSES SAID IT WAS A BOXING MATCH. Fred Bellerson, Who Struck the Blow, and All the Officials of the Ath- letic Club Released. Under Bonds. Manslaughter in the Fourth Degree. Revised Statutes of Missouri, 1889. Gec. 8476—Manslaughter in the fourth degree— The involuntary killing of another by a weapon, or by meens neither crrel nor un- usual, in the heat of passion, in any case other than justifiable homicide, shall be deemed manslaughter in the fourth de- gree. Sec. 3477—Fourth degree, continued—Fv- ery other killing of a human being by the act, procurenecnt or culpable negligence of another, which would be manslaughter at the common law, and which is not excusa- bile or justifiable, or is not declared in this chapter to be manslaughter in eome other degree, shall be deemed manslaughter in the fourth degree. Sec. 3488—Punishment for manslaughter— * * * Fourth—If in the fourth degree, by imprisonment in the penitentiary for two years, or by dmprisonment in the county jail not less than six months, or by a fine not less than $500, or by both a fine not less than $100 and imprisonment in the county jail not less than tbree montbs. The death of Henry Neise, which occurred within 40 minutes after he was knocked out 0040 0 + + 0 + + 0-0 | by Fred Bellerson in a prize fight at the! Fourteenth Street Theater Thursday night, }was a homicide. The inquest held yester- day so decided it, and fixed the direct re- sponsibility for the death. Bellerson was released under a bond of $800 to answer any charge that may be jbrought against him for Neise’s death. The ‘officials of the St. Louis Athletic Club, who were held for the result of the inquest, were released under $300 bond each, under the game conditions. The verdict was homicide, without felon- fous intent. The cause of death was con- gestion of the brain resulting from concus- sion; th’‘s injury resulted from a fall caused ‘by a blow from Bellerson. Some 20 or 30 witnesses were examined by 'the coroner. Most of them were licemen itwho did not pay to get in, and officials of —. one or persons who occupied stage : 3 -= were two features more striki than others in the inquiry—the personn of the jury and the unanimity of w.tnesses’ inion that the fight was a boxing exhibi- ‘tion, not a prize fight. The e¢ jury was unl.ke the average profes- ;@ional Coroner’s jury. It was composed of repres resentative business men, each one of an tes rod and par- agon frame. $I. 50 Endless variety of fine high-grade Taf- feta ‘Stik Umbrellas, ladies’ or gents’ » finest steril mother - of - , ivory and imported wood handles, prices rang- ing from $2.95 $10 down to ALBUMS.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dee. 16.—Perhaps the most remarkable horse of the past season was old Kris Kringle. He is a royally bred animal, and at one time was almost of stake class, but day af- ter day he has raced until finally the stop- ping point was reached, Even in the company of the rankest kind of dogs he became so that he trailed along in the rear. No amount of pounding did any good. He simply did not have a race in bin A year ago there was a big sale at Lex- ington, and Kris Kringle was led out. In vain the auctioneer called for bids on the braken down skate. No one want him. Dr. Bird offered $3% for the horse and everv- body Jaughed as Kris was led out the prop- erty of the doctor. purine the winter Kris got a long and much needed rest. In the early spring he was exercised with the other horses of the string. but the trainer and owner had no confidence in him, and he coukd have been bought several times at a loss to the owner of ‘ After a time the stable boys who exer- cised the horse began to notice that Kris seme to be picking up. He held his own with the best of them while at work, and when he had made an unusually fast quar- ter the attention of the trainor was called to it. An investigation showed that the §36 plug had come back to earth again on his second trip. The matter was mapt as quiet as possible, and when ris Kringle was put in his first race he convinced ‘his owner that he was all that the stable boys claimed for him. Race after race felltoold Kris. His price advanced. In a month he was valued at $1000, and a few weeks later brought him up $500 more. In all he won fourteen races but his crowning victory was at Latonia, where he had a shade the best of all of them, and pulled down the purses at an alarming rate, beating the very best of them and putting many a dollar in his owner's pocket. Dr. Bird is noted on the turf as a piker, and it is estimated that he bet at least $l on every race that his horse won. His total winning in the books will hardly go over $14. The last race won by the old stager was one in which a large num- ber of the cracks at the track were entered. His price was short on uccount of his re- cent wonderful performance and the book- les did not know just where 'to place him. rhe stable boys got down on him as aon | as they could and Dr. Bird played him for a one spot. They got off fairly well, and Kris was weH back in the bunch till the three-quarter pole was reached. At this point the boys and rubbers were sta- tioned with tin pans, which they pounded vigorously. Kris pricked up his ears, shook the kinks out of himself and was just ready for business, when a short-line train round- ed the curve of the railroad just outside the fence. The engineer gave the whistle a ‘oot that sounded like a wild scream. This Was the last straw. ‘Sulky old Kris turned himself loose and shot away from the bunch as if they were clothes horses. There was a big streak cf daylight between him and the second horse, ag he passed under the wire, an easy winner, John McAvoy pald $270 for the hose afterward. Johnny Troxler, the jockey, is here as- sisting Bill Bosler to select a string of earlings that are to be trained at the owns. Johnny hopes to ‘be reinstated and he has a large number of friends here who are going to assist him. In the event he is successful he will leave for the Pacific Coast and spend the winter there. Jess Everet was down last week from his yellow clay farm in Scott County, Ind. He does not take kindly to the quiet life down on the farm, and is going to do what he can to get back in the game. Another bunch of worthless broodmares has been sold and shipped away to sec- tions where they wil] loge their identity and forever retire from the racing business. It is a question as to whether this action on the part of the breeders is going to do any good. A clean sweep of the worthless ones on the tracks would not leave enough to supply one meeting. The movement to establish another track here in Louisville is not yet dead, and the promotors are still working quietly at the bpoject. There + 4 1, Bag running track at the trotting park this ooneay season, but there is sure to be one at the season, following. The trotting track has proven a rank failure, and it is clear to the stock- holders that the meetings can only be held at added loss, for the peome will not t- ronize that class of racing. Secretary Ken- ney, howevor, says there will bo a meet- ing next fall, but he is probably only guesa- ng just at present. Then the Jockey Club may make some arrangements to keep off a rival. Turfmen in Louisville are discussing the up hne machine again. The general tone is against the barrier, and it is not im- ete that at the next meeting at urchill Downs only the flag will be used. The new system has never met with favor here, and the good old way is good anough for Kentucky turfmen. DICK WORK. SMITH AND HIGH SCHOOL.

The committee consists of Soden of Boston, Hart of Chica o Brush of Cincinnati and Rodgers of Philadelphia. All these men are known to be in favor of reducing the National League eircuit to eight clubs, and that they will cut the organization down to that number is almost a certainty. According to the magnates, an eight most a certainty. expressed views of the -club League is now al- The appointment of the committee in question means that the ma- jority of the club owners Aare desirous of the reduction in the circuit. The matter has now narrowed down to one of how much money will be necessary to buy off the four clubs it is proposed to drop. The clubs in question are Louisville, ton, Cleveland and Washington. It is with the owners of the Boston Club that the com- mittee expects to have its only serious trouble. The franchise is owned by the Brooklyn-Baltimore eyndicate, consisting of F. A. Abell, Charies Wbetts, Harry Von der Horst and Ned Hantlon. At the meeting just closed the magnates saw fit to make things rather unpleasant for the Brooklyn-Boston contingent, and as a result it is said that the original price named for the Baltimore franchise has been jumped several points. As to the Washington franchise, which ia held by the Wagners, it is believed that the owners have had an understanding with their brother magnates.

The Police Records Show That They Are Not Only Shrewd, but Per- sistent and Daring in Their Plans. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Dec.8.—The robbing of a bank, fortunately, is a rarity. But every now and then some daring scoop is brought off and cannot be concealed. Such is the robbery from Parr’s Bank of $303,060 in Bank of Bn- gland notes. On a certain Monday the chief cashier took notes for $500,000 from the egafe and put them in a desk drawer 18 feet from the counter, At 3 p. m, these notes were seen in their receptacle; a few minutes later a paying teller discovered the drawer to be nearly empty—$306,060 in $5000, $2500 and smalier notes had disappeared. How was it done? Did a clerk secrete the notes or hand them to a confederate? Or did @ stranger disguised as a clerk waik be- hind the counter, steal the notes and es- cape unobserved? This seems a plausible theory. Bank thieves spend money and time to make themselves familar with the modus operandd of bank employes. When a gang decided to rob the North- eastern Bank at Sunderland they cultivated the acquaintance of the manager, and, hav- ing induced him to take off his coat to play billiards, abstracted the bank keys from his pocket and took an impression in wax, from which fresh keys were made. But they had yet to get the keys of the safes, and this they did by picking the pocket of the cash- jer at a Turkish bath. ‘they scooped $40,000. A gang of bank thieves once robbed the Souiheastern Railway Co. They found out that a stout, fair young carman was in the habit of driving up in a van and receiving a box of watches once a month. They searched London till they found a young fellow a duplicate of this carman in ap- cone They built a van and painted it ike thé real van. Then they sent the imi- tation carman with a forged order and scooped the 20,000 gold and silver watches. If the robbery at Parr’s was dune by @ man going behind the counter, he was ei- ther “made up’’ ‘or bore a resemblance to some clerk. Having watched his proto- type go to lunch, he went in a minute be- fore the clerk would return, and cleared the drawer. That was Forger Cooper’s method. He watched the clerks of a big firm who pre- Bpented checks at a bank; and he would search London till he found a youth of the same appearance. Cooper would engage him as his clerk and send him to the bank with a forged check. In almost every in- Stance the cashier thought he was the usual clerk. Detective Superintendent For- est captured Cooper, and found on him descriptions of several bank clerks, even to their warts and pimples, as well as their photographs. It is possible that Parr’s Bank was robbed by a clerk, who handed the notes to a con- federate. He could hide them in a pass- book and pitch it to a thief in the livery of a commissionaire. Bank thieves derive their information from discharged or dis- satisfied employes. Should a bank clerk be seen in bilMard Saloons, On race courses or at athletic meetings, thieves will cultivate him.

The Baccarat Scandal Recalled by a Letter Written by the Prince to the Archbishop of Canterbury. LONDON, Dec. 16.—The famous baccarat scandal of 10 years ago, in which the Prince of Wales was involved, is forcibly recalled to the English mind by the publication of a biography of Dr. Benson, the late Arch- bishop of Canterbury. This book contains a letter written to Dr. Benson after the Tranbycroft baccarat scandal and the cele- brated trial which followed. It is here re- produced: My Dear Archbishop: Your kind letter has touched me, as I know the kind nlinge which prompted you to write to me on the subject which we have discussed together and which, as you are aware; has caused me deep pain and annoyance. A recent trial, which no one deplores more than I do, and which I was powerless to prevent, gave reason for the press to make bitter and unjust attack upon me, knowing I was defenseless, and I am not sure politics ‘were not mixed up in it. The whole matter has now died out, and I think, therefore, that it would be inopportune for me, in lic manner. to ailude again to the painful subject, which bas brought such a torrent of abuse upon me, not only by the press, but by the low church, and especially by the Noncomf sts, ey have a perfect right, I am well aware, in a free country like our own, —— their opinions, but I do not con- sider that they have a just right to jump at conclusions regarding myself without knowing the facts. I have a horror of gambling, and should always do my utmost to discourage others who have an inclination for it, as I con- sider that gambling, like intemperance, is one of the greatest curses which a country could be afflicted with. Horse racing may produce gambling, or it may not, but I have always looked vwpoon it as a manly sport which is popular with Englishmen of all classes; and there is no reason why it should be looked upon as a gambling transac- tion.

After a sensational trial the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for 1 farthing. The verdict was generally re- garded as being against Maj. Gordon-Cum- ming, however. He resigned his commis- sion in the army, gave up his membership in various clubs and left the country. The Wilsons also suffered.

BUT THE SUPER-SENSITIVE ITAL- IAN CREW TIRED OF THE PLAN. Gossip of Artists, Actors and Sensa- tionalists Who Make Paris At- tractive and Whose Troubles Make Her Table Talk. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by the Press Publishing Company. PARIS, Dec. 16.—The love story, “Eleanor Duse and Gabriel d’'Annunzio,’’ has been in- terrupted, and perhaps broken completely, as the love story in the writer’s most fa- mous novel, “The Triumph of Death.” The actress is in Paris in despair over the desertion of the man she loves so deeply. She thinks nothing of her work nor fame, for she lavished upon d’Annun- zio all the wealth of her imperious nature. She came to Paris because it was here that she first met him several years ago. It is a sort of sentimental pilgrimage. D’Annunzio is very fascinating to certain kind of women. He is rather tall, with curious, dead-white complexion, and talks brilliantly when he chooses. His intellect- ual gifts appealed strongly to the actress, although it was a source of wonder to her friends that a man with such an un- healthy mind could command her brilliant intellect. They formed great plans for restoring the drama to the highest artistic plane. man of wealth was found who was willing to udvance the money to build a theater where only plays having artistic and clas- sical value were to be produced and no attention was to be paid tou making money. Tt was a rr fine scheme on paper and for a time looked very much as if the pro- ject would be carried out. But it ended in nothing. No scandal is connected with the life of Duse and 4d’Annunzio. Her reputation saved her, although the man ts true to his own principal characters. Indeed, it has been his boast that his novels are taken from his own experience and he is the hero of them. The end came ten days ago. That mor- bid, super-sensitive organization which has made d’Annunzio famous, asserted itself. He was weary of the.!ntellectual compan- ionship of a woman much his senior, He brutally told her so. And this is why Duse is in Paris. wearing out her soul. TIGER’S FEAST PREVENTED. The. great royal tiger, ‘‘Mazeppa,”’ sud- denly rebelled against the famous tamer at the Mount Marte Menagerie last night. The tiger sprang upon La Goule, the trainer, and when he had her down on the floor, buried his teeth in her side and dragged her, insensible, acyoss the cage to the darkest corner, where he crouched, evi- dently settling himself to comfortably feast on human fiesh. Experts are yet at a loss to explain what saved the girl. They say that the smell of warm blood drives a tiger into a fero- cious frenzy, and that unlike a lion, the tiger when once he feels the quivering, live flesh between his teeth, will never pause until he has torn the victim in shreds. Mazeppa paused. Probably he did not intend to refiect long on the mighty up- roar that went up from public, but the clamor surprised him and he looked up to see what was the matter. In an instant the managerial attendants were upon him with red-hot lances and forks. He clawed at the murderous things and finally caught one viciously within his great jaws. ith a howl of pain he leaped to the other side, where, cowed, but furious, he roared, WANT 10 Boys’ Watches, stem winders. .| 100 sets Genuine Cut- Glass Salt and Peppers, Solid silver top, warranted to stay on, only 7 ‘ . 72 - ~~ a - wh. > a ‘ - aS he See : «7 4 7 # > .

The nekt moment he announced that the parcel contained stolen notes for $200,000 returned by the robbers, There was an anonymus letter requestin that the receipt be advertised. The offere reward of $6000 was then watered down. and the person who restores the $103,000 balange will be rewarded “propcrtionately.” On April 29 Westley Richards, 45, jeweler, of No. 2 Stonefield street, Islington, was _charged before the Lord Mayor with re- ceiving three of the stolen notes. Mr. Richards, who was an attendant at race meetings, said he got the notes from @ man named Corbett, who had received them from a bookmaker. William Metcalf was arrested with Richards, on the ground that he had Cee dagen to pass a stolen note for $500. Richards admitted having given ‘and Metcalf was released. A few weeks later two more stolen notes ‘were passed. The first was paid to Mr. 'Eldom, proprietor of the Tankard, Kensing- 'ton Road, who changéd it at a bank. The ‘other was passed in the south of London, . and the detectives had no clew, | Mr. Richards was brought up before the Lord Mayor, and’ remanded. The following week evidence was offered which corrobo- rated Mr. Richards’ statements that he had accepted the notes in innocence from the : bookmaker. He was again remanded on ‘ball, and on June 11 discharged. ' The Bank of England has published its | determination not to cash the stolen notes, @ proceeding which gives rise to much dis- cussion. The bank fs already called upon to face two actions. Mr. Rainstead, butcher, Brighton, has issued a writ in respect of a $500 note .which he received from a well- known customer, and of which he is the bona-fide holder. Mr. R. Ashley, a com- mission agent, has also issued a writ to show cause why he should not receive value for a $500 note received from a bookmaker on the day when Richaras received his three stolen notes.

From native couriers and Spanish prison- ers it was learned that Aguinaido left Bon- toc, in the province of the same name, with three women and two soldiers, three days ago, and headed southward, evidently for Bayombong, in the provoince of New Vis caya, wnere, it is thought, he may encoun- ter the Americans.

North, are be- ing collected with the intention or sending them back to Manila, as there is muc sickness among them.and they are unfit for further mountain work. . Lieut. Chadwick and a correspondent of the Associated Press, the latter command- ing 30 Macabebes,: have visited thé moun- tain town of Pamposa and received the surrender of a company of insurgents, in- cluding three officers, with their arms and ammunition. Gen. Concepcion and other Filipino offi- cers who have surrendered have been taken to Vigan. Concepcion, who is cheeful, in- sists that the insurgent organization will be maintained, even in the districts where the Americans are operating; also ciaiming that the Filipino leaders can use their troops whenever they desire. He suggests that the only method of ter- minating the war is the capture of Agul- naldo and the obtaining of an order from him for the troops to surrender their arms. But Concepcion believes Aguinaldo will mever be captured. Gen. Otis has now in custody many im- portant persons who were connected with the so-called Filipino Government, but ‘no decision as to their future disposition has been reached by the President. A member of the Cabinet said to-day the time had not yet come when the fate of these men could be determined. It is pro- posed to treat them humanely and with con- sideration and it is beiieved such po.icy will lead other Filipinos to surrender. Any Fii- no caught directly in provoked murder or fotting will be summarily dealt with. It was reported this afternoon that Gen. Otis had sent to Secretary Root a com- munication from prominent Filipinos, which was read at the Cabinet méeting to-day say- ing there was no organized insurgent force a ‘and that the army had been broken up into as oF mall bands, plundering and reigned, md non- Mbatants and suggesting the employment of natives in garrisoning towns. It is said at the War Department that the quota of troops allowed by law is com- a and no additional natives can be en- sted. Gen. Otis will soon have an ample number of men to do garrison duty and it is to the interests of this Government to have Americans rather than Filipinos garrison the country for the present. Secretary Root said there was no vacancy in the staff corps to which Lieut. Batson of the Fourth Cavalry, who organized and commanded the Macabeebe scouts, could be appointed as recommended by Gen. Otis. A cable message reccsived by the War De- partment from n.

NATIONAL SECRETARY THERE. President Hays of the Bankers’ Asso- ciation Spoke of General Pros- perity and Trusts. * “Creditable’ is the word that. m a dou- bie eense, should be applied to the assem- bly of the credit men of St. Louis at the Mercantile Club last night. It was cred- itable in that it was the largest the nation- ai secretary, who was there, had addressed in his tour of the entire country. In the other and humorous eense it was credit- able because credit was the one purpose and topic of the meeting. The gathering was the annual one of the St. Louts Credit Men’s Association, and was more largely attended than was any similar meeting before held in this city. The men who, with making trusts, do make truat, as the word may be applied to those who extend accommodations in the way of bill paying, dined before, they heard the speeches, and sO they Met early, and seat- ed about smail tables bedecked with holiy, ate and drank and devoted a couple of hours to the good things of life. Then, called to order by their president, R. Han- ton, they were introduced to Frank P. Hays of the Little & Hays Brokcrage Co., who is president of the Missouri Bankers’ Association. Mr. “One Commercial Need,”’ Mr. Hays, after defining credit as faith in the man, in his progress and his moral- ity, advocated the handling of credits along broad lines, and yet according to rigid lawe. He ehowed how, in times of panic, the man ordinarily good was affected, and gave rea- sons for it. He was optimistic in his views of bueiness; he ea!d the country had recov- ered from recent depressions and gave evi- dence of it in 5 per cent money, with figures to prove the present great business pros- — ty in the way of railroad earnings, ank Searing, export increases and the like. Then he took up trusts. Avoidin their pwlitical features and their ethica right or wrong. he admitted their pres- ence In the commercial wor'd and defended the necessity of large corporations, which, he said, should not subject to interfer- ence or investigation any more than should 4} ag businesses, Continuing, Mr. Hays s : “No one will deny the right, the duty, of the people, as to proper supervision, in a fair an neral way, along broad line, leaving HMberal opportunity to meet the Changes which invention, crop failures, progress of every kind, are continually thrusting upon us. But business can, must and will make its own laws; and they are made by the general concensus of opin- ion, by the judgment born out of experi- ence, and by the lofty purposes of thcogs Who do business with a sense of the ben- efits it is to mankind as well as the profits itis to themselves. | ‘And business laws are right! I need not speak, to men dealing in credits, of honesty and energy. They know, as perhaps no other class, to what moral grandeur the unwritten aws of business conduct rise. Credit were not, were this not so. Yet we are face to face with a new issue—the moral responsibility of the corporation. And, gentlemen, the. first requiremerit !s that the corporation ,is to 6 manned aright. In this I put the man above his money. More and more brain rules. But there is a moral responsibility in the man- ager to the whole commercial interests, which can never be abandoned. Take your banker, and think what you require of him in the way in which he enters the specu lative field. The manager of the industria organism is not less responsible to the sta- bility of the corporation which he conducts, and through it to the whole people. It must be so. Money does not think—it does not act. If our friends who talk learnedly about the ‘money power’ would but think that this is credit power, they would wel- come these great industrial corporations for the good they are capable of doing, when commanded by wien of steadfast pur- ease, untarnished integrity and splendid mind. “After the man comes method. And here the corporation rises no higher than the men who compose its board of directors. There are certain immutable laws of busi- nees. It is necessary, for instance, for the owner to take advantage of the legitimate demand for his possessions and obtain a price which will be adequate. Becauygp, on the contrary, he is in the way of a time when the shifting of demand wil] render his property of less value. These fluctua- tions which occur in the nature of things it is the duty of every man and corporation to take advantage of. One cannot refuse fortunate circumstances in business. Money is thus worth what it is worth, all usury laws to the contrary notwithstanding. Again, it is the duty of every man and corporation to take advantage of the sup- ply and govern his price accordingly, with- n the limits of the average prices which obtain in all lines of trade. And it may be said that if he does not do this, he is but wel Rage way for «enat competition, attracted ordin profits, and thereby cutting his own business throat. “We say these are immutable laws. They exist in the nature of things, and the wise man bows to them. And these great laws, es- pecially of supply and demand and aver- age hg ry obtain, not cver a small ter- ritory but over the whole world. Ulti- mately, therefore, no matter what tem- porary inroads one man or organization may make on them, cs control prices ang profits, stimulate equable methods in trado and lead the progress of nations. Now, to illustrate: e consolidated co ration which arbitrarily raises prices against the average worth of all manufactures, and be- cause of the undue greed of those who man- age, against fair dealing, not only pave the way for the ultimate downfall of the individual trade which they are seeking to build up, but they commit a crime against the whok business World. Here is where the artificial rson, in a last analysis, be- cumes the will of the president and board of directors, who are human. ‘he more business is consolidated (in the interest of still greater business and more universal comfort, as I believe) the more the moral responsibility of the corperation becomes a tactor which credit men should regard. And it resolves itself, as you will at once perceive without argument, to this, that the corporation of to-day which is making undue profits by undue methods and in vio- lation of the “live and let live’’ principle, and I mean by this underselling to crowd out competitors, when it is pret that there is no other purpose, and lifting prices through the sheer power of the size of the corporation, is net more to be trusted and countenanced by honorable business men than any other chariatan in the market. That is to say, they are dishonoring the business integrit without which credit could not exist. his is the moral respon- sibility! Which I contend resides in the corporation. The artificial person is to have a soul, because it is the echo of the souls of the managers, and this is the principle which is to pervade conduct, if the corporate stock is to continue to appeal to the small investor, who perforce is crowded out by the very consolidation of interests in which he orce had part. @he very fact that the corporation has not the elements of pity and self sacrifice in it, which pertains to the individual, is the reason why it can mever escape these prin- ciples of camutabdle justice, without stul- ti ying itself and denying its owy right to exist.”’ e W. A. ern. the national secretary of the Credit | , addressed his fellow members more along the lines of the as- sociation and its work than in a general sense. He took up successively what the Credit Association aimed to be, what it was and what it hoped to be in the future. He advocated the freest intercourse among Me members, a ng together for the , end an absolute standard and accountability.

The mid-winter. business session of the Wednesday Club was held December 13. Announcement was made to the “poster tea,” to be given at the residence of Mrs. Arthur Gale, Tuesday, December 19, from two 2 to 6 in the afternoon and 7 to 10 in the evening, for the benefit of the prac- tical work of the educational section. The name of Mrs. George O. Carpenter was withdrawn by resignation from the delegation to Milwaukee. The executive board will fill the vacancy. The chairman of the executive board, Mrs. E. E. Chase, presented a report of the work of the board for the last two months. The location :committee presented propo- sitions for club quarters; which will prob- ably be acted ‘upon later at a specially called meeting of the club. ‘Miss Mary Perry, chairman of the com- mittee to report upon the National Society of Corrections and Charities, recommended that the club become a member of it. Her recommendation was adopted. Mrs.Edward Tawsig, hairman of the Committee to report upon representation to the International Council of Women to be held at Paris in 1900, recommended to re- fer the subject to the State Federation. The Chairman of the Committee on in- vestigation into the industrial condition of women and children inMissour!, Mrs. W Fischel, reported at length concerning the work, and the committee was continued. The Committee to report upon Municipal and Medical Inspection of schools, with a probability of calling a special meeting to consider the subject, gave a partial report amd was continu The reports were then given from the del- egates to the State Federation meeting. held in Columbda in November. Mrs. arris ve a forcible and clear interpretation of the business; Mrs. Moore the educational work, travelling libraries and the scheme of reorganization of the General Federation, as presented through resolutions carried at the State meeting. " The Wednesday Club, as a member of the General Federation, resolved to endorse the action of the State Federation calling for reorganization and representation through the State in the General Federation.

The Executive Board was asked to con- sider the possibility of interpreting its priv- ileges in regard to guests for open meet- ings, to such an extent that others may be invited than those represented alone upon individual] invitation. Friday, Dec. 8, in response to invitations sent to the club, guests of the Social Eco- nomics ection, an appreciative audience greeted Prof. Zueblin of Chicago Univer- sity, who delivered a lecture upon ‘*Muni- cipal Hygiene.”’ Prof. Zueblin began his talk by a com- parison of our American cities with for- eign cities, in regard to the housing of the poor. He gave the well-known example of Liverpool, a city which had just as bad problems to deal with as any other large city, but which has met its difficulties ad- mirably and effectively. (He stated that ursanitary conditions ex- ist in portions of all large cities, our own city being no exception to the rule; and argued that there would be an immense saving to the American people if they wouid only act now, instead of waiting until con- ditions became as bad as cng are in the ol4 world, or even in New York, for in some respects New York is worse in the housing of its poor than any other city in the world.

London has had no city hospital, but has a unified sys- tem of private hospitals which is unequaled and a fine organization of combined hos- pital and ambulance service. Prof. Zueblin urged the establishment of not only public baths for the poor, but also of public laundries where the people may go and wash their clothes instead of being obligd to have a wash day at home in per- haps one room, which serves for living room, sleeping room and kitchen. In London jaundry work is taught fn the py: me schools and the city is full of pub- ic laundries for the poor. The question of adulteration of foods and the necessity of having good public markets with proper food inspection provided for was touched upon. Most important of all, sald the epeaker, was the water supply of great cities. Most cities are not so fortunate as St, Louls and Chicago in having their water supply right at hand. Glasgow, Scotland, for instance, Has to go about 8) miles for its water, but it is the mode] city of the world in its way of get- Ung itssupply from Loch Katrine. he Drainage Canal question was spoken of at some length, and Prof. Zueblin ex- pressed himself as satisfied we would suffer from the Chicago sewage, provided Chicago succeeded in setting rid of it. But he said that, though $30,000,000 had already been expended in trying to solve this problem, it began to look as if nothing had really been accomplished, as if the sewage would not be carried off and as if Chicago would re- — the sufferer from its own bad condi- ons. | Rubinstein Club.

He completed his work to-day and delivered it to the board, who, at Dr. Auten’s request, held a special session to hear the report and act on the doctor's. resignation, tendered the first of the week. The result of ‘the meeting Post-Dispatch representative f type-written mauscript by Jobe and is as follows: E. Auten, superintendent of the Asylum for the Criminal! Insane for the last three years, tendered his resignation to- Gav to the Board of Trustees, to take effect at the pleasure of the board. On account of petty differences existing between Auten and some of his employes brought about mainly through the inability of the doctor as a disciplinarian, the breach has widened from day to day and the differences be- tween the doctor and his employes brought about this action on his part and he made up his mind to tender his resignation, The Board of Trustees secured the services of Frank D. Whipp, the chief clerk of the State Board of Charities, who for several days has’ been engaged in checking up the books and accounts. In the report it Is stated unequivocally that nothing has been found that indicates dishonesty on the part of Dr. Frank B. Auten, the super- ntendent of the Institution. This report being entirely satisfactory to the board, the doctor’s resignation was received and placed on file for future action.” The management of the institution over which Dr. Auten is superintendent, from a professional standpoint, has been first class and it is admitted by every one that the doctor has exceptional ability in handling and treating the unfortunate insane. The doctor admits that as a disciplinarian and business man he is lacking. His own ex- ression on the subject is, ‘Asa bean buyer am not @ success.”’ This is a little thrust at the State Board of Charaties for their very minute requirements in showing the proper distribution of all provisions used, even to beans, peas, and radishes. as shown in the monthly inspection of the institution. ‘CLARENCE EDDY, ORGANIST Recital at the Odeon Thoroughly En- joyed by Those Who Attended —Another This Afternoon.

Personal—Agents’ Reports—Lead- ing Transfers of the Week. Notwithstanding the bad weather and the approach of the holiday season, when the great majority of men are expected to go gift-giving mad and to squander all their money, there was a very fair real business done last week. The transfers in which the considerations exceeded $5000 have not been so many since last summer. Mississippi Valley Trust Co. transferred a great many pleces of property last week, but Mr. Breckinridge Jones says there is nothing significant about it, as the trans- fers were merely a part of the routine work of a trust company, and that that particu- lar kind of duty happened to occur fre- quently last week with his company. It is a significant fact that agents who uSe the advertising columns of the Sunday Post-Dispatch are having the best results. For example Messrs. Fisher & Co. adver- tised two Sundays ago three houses a sale, and they sold two of them within a week. Just before that Mr, L, A. Bosso, 617 Chestnut street, advertised a house for sale in the Sunday Post-Dispatch and he had it sold by 10 o'clock the next morn- ing. He says that if he had one man after that house he had 20. and that he nevey saw a ‘better. inquiry pf a piece of property. Recently Mr. M. 8. Bowman inserted an ad- vertisement in the ‘Sunday Post-Dispatch and in another Sunday paper, and he says that through the Post-Dispatch he received 16 replies, and through the other paper one. He adds that it was the first practical illustration of 16 to 1 that he has ever had. And so it is with hiring property. There is an enormous renting business donc through the Sunday Post-Dispatch, and !t there - a demand for rental property at all it can be found through this medium. Electric Road in Jefferson County. In the County Court of Jefferson County last week the petition of l.. A. Brown, W. Kk. Graves, F. R. Dearing, Chester B. White and Dwight Tredway of St. Louis for a franchise to build and operate electric rail- way lines was granted. The remuneration to the county agreed upon is nothing for ten years, $100 per year for the next ten, $306 for the next ten and $400 for the next ten. The road is to run from a point west of Lemay Ferry Bridge along the rock road tc Maxvilie, thence south one mile, thence southeasterly along Fred Grimm road to the St. uis and Ste. Genevieve road, thence along that road to Pevely, ans thence to Festus.

The John Maguire Real Wstate Co. re ceived a letter from the Commissioner of Internal Reyenue last week confirming an opinion which has been generally held by agents, but which had not yet been con- firmed by an awthoritative ruling, that where a transfer of real estate is made from one person to another, but by means of a pro forma transfer through an inter- mediate person, both deeds must bear the full amount of revenue stamps. The case was one in which a man desired to vest the title to property, already in his own name, in the name of his wife. To make a lear title, it passed through the name of a third person. The amount of stamps was $66, and to gave that sum in the case of one Sous was the occasion of the correspon- ence, * The reply which the Washington authori- ties gave—that both deeds must bear stamps —recalls Condorcet’s famous mot, ‘“Taxation is the art of plucking a goose without mak- ing it cry.’’ If it were worth any man’s while to contest the matter in the Reurte. it is possible that pro forma deeds could be made to escape a contribution to the ex- pense of benevolent assimilation. : Personal. Messrs. Cavender & Thompson are very comfortably settled in their new office, 716 Chestnut street. In a business extending over a generation, they have moved but three times, a record in which they take a pardonable pride. Mr. Charles Z Trembly, with Messrs. Keeley & Co., ig on the rapid road to re- covery from an attack of typhoid fever which has lasted now six. weeks. He will not be out, however, until some time next month. Mr. Thomas F. Farrelly was confined to his house the latter part of the week with a slight illness. ; Mercantile Trust Company.

Opera of ‘“‘A Basso Porto’’ Will Be Pro- duced at Music Hall. St. Louls is to witness the first produc- tion in America of a new epera of the modern Italian realistic school, which has scored a series of successes jn Europe since its presentation in 1] at Cologne.

Cuticura Resolvent Extends its purifying influence by means of the pores to the surface of the skin, allaying irritation, inflammation, itching, and burning, and soothing and hoaling external humors, because of its power to neutralize HUMOR-GERMS Which float in tho blood and circulating fluids. Hence its success in the treatment of distressing humors of the skin, scalp, and blood, with loss of hair, which fail to be permanently cured by external remedies alone.

MISSIONARY PATON’S OON THE VICTIN OF NEW HEBRIDES CANNIBALS’ FURY. While the Father Is Preaching in St. Louis the Son Is Fighting for His Life on a South Pacific Island. EV. JOHN G. PATON, D. D., who R has been a:missionary among the cannibals of.the New Hebrides Islands for 41 years, and who, by rea- son of his control of the savages, has been called the King of the Cannibals, has been in Louis during the past week. Just before he left .the South Sea Islands he placed ‘his son, Rev. Frank H. L. Paton, M. A. B. D., 6n anisland inhabited ‘by cannibals among whom no white man had everbeen able to live. While the aged father. Was here he learned from a news dispatch that his son and one of his assistants had. been decoyed into the interior ‘of the island by the hostile savageg. The ‘assistant ‘was slain. Rey. Paton’s .son escaped for the time, but his ultimate fate is unkonwn. The aged father, as he has gone from place to place, speaking to the. people about the missionary .work in the islands ‘and asking their support: he hes been torn by the keenest soxerd ove, the fate’of his that it will not be watil mak retuti ec in his island home that: she. will know: er the son is living or*dead; ia dresses in St. Lottis and, in’ age ill told -with voict ‘and 4 “ toe the probable ot oe ss illustration of the ‘petits: if which the h OTL 465 missionaries in t ose tslands are” 1ex- : posed. Pe ye By Rev, Tet G. Paton. UST before I left the group I took 4 my youngest son, Frank, and placed him on the West Side of the, Isiand of Santo, among 4000 cannibals. Their op- position had always been so strong that we had never been able before to Place .@ man there. We did not have a word of their language. When we approached Svthe beach a great .crowd.of the natives, Men ami women, carrying rifles, 1 Uae res the beach. ' They were siillen.

We put up three tents, one for my*son and his wife, one for the other missionary, and @is wife and one, for the two native teach Last Saturday I received * great shock. Word came to me, through a press dis- patch, that my son had been.invited in- Jand by one of the chiefs, presumably for the ostensible purpose .of establishing a teacher at one of the villages. They were ambushed and aitacked and an attempt made to murder both of them. The teacher was killed. My son escaped the game fate for the time, but there is no telling what his fate may have been after- ward. The next news I receive may be that he is dead. 1 ask the Christian peo- ple to pray Bhat God will throw his pro- ae ‘tecting shield around my son and save his i: 3 So 1 pales, gpa life. No human power can save him. There are 30 islands in the group, They have a population of from 980,000 to 100,000. ‘Forty-five years ago all of these Were can- nibals. They wore: no clothing. The de- structibn of female children by \their par- ents and the offering’ of male chilfren as sacrifices was. common. Parenits, when they became old or sick, were ‘destroyed ‘by their children. ‘On the death ofa hus- band the wife was always strangled im- ‘mediately, so that she might join her hus- band and ccntinue to be his slave as she had been tin life. I was sent to the group 4l: years ago. I was landed on the Island of Tanna. 1 was accompanied by. my wife. We were from Scotland. With us to the same island Were sent Mr. and’ Mrs. Mateson of Canada, At the same ti Mr. and Mre, Gordon Were sent to the ‘adjoining island‘of Erru- manga. ; ‘ Our white predecessors were James Har- ris and John Williams, who were killed and cooked and eaten on the Island ef Er- rumanga, and Drs, Turnér and Nisbet, who narrowly escaped a sitiilar fate after being on Tanna six rrontha Aan: had to flee oa the island.

To reach it he had to- cross a ravine As he reached it the savages stepped behind him and tomahawked him in the back and neck. The commotion atfracted Mrs. Gordon. She went to the door. The ravine was some distance away. She could not make out what the excitement was about. “What is the matter down there?’ she asked of one of, the natives. ‘©, nothing,’ he said). ‘it is just the boys shouting and dancing.”’ As sive turned a tomahawk was sunk in lated words—‘*Lord, Jesus, receive my soul amd lay not this sin to their charge.” Mr. and Mrs. Robertson arrived from Canada shortly after. They feared to go to Errumanga, but all the other stations were selected by others whose seniority entitled them to first choice and they were obliged to go to Errumanga. He had much tact and succeeded in converting all the Savages. . When I landed on the Island of Tanna all of the natives were cannibals. - None of them wore clothes.

Paton has spent 41 years of his life among the cannibals of the New Hebrides Islands. Five of his white as- sociates and a great number of his native assistants have been‘alain by his side. He has faced death many times in its most hideous forms, and has had numerous hair- breadth escapes.

He is now mak- ing what will probably be his last tour of America in the interest of the missions on the islands.

The native women Wept and walled over her and buried her in the sand of the beach. Gordon's brother, who was a etudent at Princeton, went to the Island with the avowed purpose of converting the murder- ers of his brother. He was successful. He gathered 14 young native men around him. The young men guarded him so well that the savages could get no opporunity to kill him. They sent two of their number to attend church and the mission gchool. They attended regularly two months and won the confidence of Gordon. One day he was translating to their language the account of Stephen's martyrdom. He had written: ‘Lord, Jesus, receive my spirit and lay not this sin to their charge.” He left off at that passage and went out on the veranda to walt for the native servant to call him to dinner. The two savages came up the walk. None of the faithful natives were about. It was the first op- portunity they had had.. One of them drew ht attention. The er sank his toma- eo had been signs. The savages showed their friend- liness by a nod and a smile or their hos- tility by a leveled rifle or a raised club. I had to build my own house. By listening to their talk I discovered the key to their language, learned it and reduced it to writ- ten form, I got along well with the natives until an English trader, a degraded man, who had committed many crimes, came to the island. He viewed my presence with dis- favor. He etirred up the savages against ime. One day he came followed by a crowd of savages and broke down the fence around my*boat house. He took out my boat and hired the savages with gifts of tobacco to take it away. When I would have restrained them he mistreated me. That impaired my control over the sav- ages. They sald if one of my own color could do that and not be punished by Je- hovah they’ need not be afraid that he would punish them. After a time ihe savages arose. A friend- ly chief and some of the natives defended us as long as they could. They discharged muskets at my house and beat against the walls with clubs. “They smashed in the door of the storeroom and took every- thing away and tore my books in pieces and scattered them about. We locked our- selves in the bedroom. They tried to break into it. A chief called me to the window in apparent friendliness. When I went he hurled a tomahawk at me. I pointed a pistol at them. They threw themselves on the ground. At night they went away into the inland with threats to return the next day and kill us. In ‘the morning a treacherous chief ‘blew a great conch near our house. A hoard of eavages rushed down the hill on the other side of the bay and made for the mission house, abandon- ing everything and ran in the other direc- tion toward the village of a friendly chief. A eavage eprang from behind a bread fruit tree and aimed his tomahawk at my head. I cried, “If you dare to strike me, my Jehovah God ‘will punish you. He is here to defend me now.” The savage slunk away. We reached the village without further molestation.

After a time we stopped to rest. A multi- tude of savages surrounded us. The friendly chief planted his back against a tree. I took. my position’“by him. He wanted me to leave him. I knéw it would be death to do so and refused. The savages urged one another to kill us, Dut each was afraid to m#trike the first blow. We etarted to run. Something restrained the savages from striking us down. I tried ot léap across a stream. I fell short and slid down the bank. A killin stone hurled at my head struck a branch, Many more times we were assailed, but the superstitious fears of the savages pre- ‘vented them from killing us. We reached the mission station of Mr. and Mrs. Mathe- son in an exhausted condition. Hostile savages were about seeking my life. There were nights of ceaseless vig- lience. At last} overcome by fatigue, I fell asleep. About 10 o'clock my little dog tugged at my cbdat and awakened me. Il went to the window. Savages were passing with torches. Then a glare of light filled the room. They had. set the church on fire. Then they set fire to the reed fence connecting the church and the dwelling house. In an instant the house would be on fire and the armed savages would kill us on our attempt to escape. Taking a small American tomahawk, I prevailed on Mr. Matheson to let me out of the door I ran to the reed fence and tore it up and threw it back into the flames. Seven or eight savages surrounded me and raised their great clubs. “Kill him, kill him,”’ they shouted. One of them tried to seize me.

A rushing and roaring sound came from the South, like the noise of a mighty en- gine or of muttering thunder.

It brought with it a heavy, murky cloud which poured out a perfect torrent of tropical ‘rain. The stars in thelr courses were fighting against Sisera.

Before light came next morning Gilmore went off in the steam launch with 14 men and Ensign Standley. He landed Standley at the river with one eailor,.and then began to take soundings. Standley made his way through the jungle and the forest until he reached an elevated point, where he climbed a tree and made a eketch of the lay of the land. It was then broad daylight, and from the Yorktown the launch was seen to enter the mouth of the river. The thickly wooded shores hid it from view and the mygtery began. When Stanley had completed his sketch he returned to the beach and a boat was sent to bring him back to the ship. Ail that day the Yorktown waited anxiously for the return of the launch, but ho launch came. Stanley reported that while up the tree he had heard firing for about three-quarters of an hour. but had heard no report of the Co't automatic gun which the launch carried. He had seen men tin the river and heard shouting in Spanish. He thought they were natives bathing. Up the river he had seen _ pla¢es records left by the captured officer eof his men.

Then he dropped some six-inch shelis into the rebel camp and started back to Manila. Irom the scraps of information which have leaked out since, it appears as if the story of Gillmore and his party was this: When he had entered the Baler River he at- tempted a landing, but was received by three volleys from the Filipinos concealed in the bush. Two of his men were killed and the others wounded. The Lieutenant himself received two flesh wounds, and had one foot stuck In. the mud. There: was no choice but surrender. The party was taken before the rebel chief, who commanded the Tagal forces, and Gillmore wads told tha: he would be granted the liberty of him- self and the surviving members of his crew if he would procure the delivery to the chief of the arms and munitions of war of the Spanish garrison. A sailor was sent under a flag of truce to carry this proposition to the Spanish commandant, and the rebel chief further declared that if the terms were complied with both the Spaniards and the Americans would be permitted to go on board the Yorktown. The Spanish commandant in- dignantly rejected the terms, and would hot bélieve the news of the outside world which Was told to him. The Tagal chief be- came angry and had the Americans bound, hand and foot. In this condition they were taken over the mountains to San Isidro. It was a long and hard journey for the cap- tives, through the mouritain passes and over the trails, but after much suffering the exhausted men were turned over to Ge Luna, who ordered their execution, The men were taken from the prison where they had been placed while Luna was deciding upon their fate, and marched to the plaza. Thelr hands were tied behind them, but they walked erect and cefian, like American sailors, and halted in the middje of the plaza. A great crowd had gathered about, and a strong force of Filii- ino soldiers were present. Luna was in mmediate Command, and looking on at the scene was uinaldo.

PETERSBURG, Dec. 5. Special Correspondence of Sunday Post-Dispatch. ROM Odessa, in Southern Russia, | 'e learn that the immunities from mill- tary service extended to the Mennon- ites by the ancestors of the Czar are about to be repealed. The Mennonlies are a German sect who, about a hundred years ago, settled in the south of. Russia rather than allow them- selves to be enrolled in the levies which the German Princes were gathering against Napoleon. The Czar promised them and their succes- sors forever complete exemption from mfii- tary service and presented them wiih the lands which they still cultivate along the Volga and In the neighborhood of the Sea of “Agov. The imperial word was loyally kept until the reign of Alexander III. It was then determined to modify the privi- leges eahjoved by these German pletis:s. They were ordered to set apart évery year a number of thelr young men to drain swampy lands and to plant trees in cer- tain arid regions. Fearing that worse was to come, large bodies of the Mennonites left Russia, and setijed in the United States. The elders are now holding meetings to deride what course to pursue. It is under- stood that they will follow their brethren bo the United States or to Canada. J. B. POISON IN POTTED BIKDS. ON VIVANTS and others who occa- B sionally indulge in Italian potted or- tolans, becafici, polentas and risottos of uccelli,; and other potted birds, must, ac- cording to an Italian correspondent of the Pharmrceutische Centralhalle, be very much on their guard against the danger of ar- senical poisoning therefrom. It appears from this communication that the netting and killing of small birds of every descrip- tion has become-an industry of consider- able magnitude in central and southern Italy. In the spring of the year small birds appear in these regions in incredible num- bers, being on their return from their win- ter sojourn in Africa. Here, being wearied by their long filght over the Mediterranean Sea, they spend a few days in resting and recruiting up before winging their way to their haunts in middle and Northern Eu- rope. : This is the harvest time of the Italian bird-catchers, and the little creatures are slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands. The netters and slayers find a ready mar- ket for the birds, the skins being bougitt by purveyors to the great hat and bonnet manufacturers of Paris, Vienna, Berlin, etc.. and go to deck the feminine headgear of the fashionable world, while the car- casses of the little creatures are sold to caterers for the potting houses, and manu- facturers of the delicacies Known as “Po- lenta eon uceelll,”” ““Rosotto con uccelli,”’ etc. (Uecelli or uceellini being the generic term for birds.) According to this writer, the birds, after being killed, are skinned on the spot, the skins being at once plentifully dusied with arsenious acid to preserve them. This Is done by the skinner, who with his arsenec- covered hands tosses the body of the bird into heaps close by. Not the slightest at- tention is paid to cleanliness, or to the dangers of arsenica)l poisoning by these THE KAISER'S PRECIOUS OLD RING. BERLIN, Dec. 9. Special Correspondence Sunday Post- Dispatch.

One of the most interesting objects to Americans to-day is our large and growing army, and it is pertinent to ask the Ameri- can people at this time, when the so!diers of the Union have done so much to stam out the insurrection here,, what they ar prepared to do for the heroes who are fighting the battles of the. flag in the far East. The American nation will without doubt be glad to learn that several agen- cle: are at work seeking to.ameliorate the hardships of the campaign, to minidter to the wants of the wounded and to make smoother the rough path of those who car- ry the rifle for the Union through the ter- rible jungles of the Philippine Islands, and. fighting far away from the'r country, up- ho.d the p Biorlous traditions of the Ameri- WAR DANCE OF MATABE MISSIONARY PEYTON. can army at the so frequent cost of life by bullet or disease. Among fhe societies thus employed is the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, of which I have the honor to be a member. This brotherhood has one object: “The spread of Christ's kingdom among men.”’ Wherever young men congregate there the brother- hood seeks to be. Hence, when the troops of the United States were mobilizing for war, it was natural that the society should take advantage of such a bright opportu- nity to conduct : a new _branch of the work. ed its headquarters in the city of Manila. In April last. with two clergymen and an- other. layman, I left for Luzon, and upon my arrival at Manila I rented a house in the Malate district of Manila, fitted up reading rooms with a large supply of books, magazines, implements for games and writ- ing material, and threw open the doors to the soldiers. The men flocked to the place and have made it one of their chief ren- dezvous in time of leisure ever since. News- papers from ail parts of the world are sent there by the friends and relatives of the men, and, by a system of interchanging thesé the soldiers are at all times able to obtain a collection of American newspapers with the latest néws of the home country.

Hugh Nethereott, who has charge of the house, devotes himself to regular visiting at the Second Reserve Hospital, ministering to the sick from cot to eo},and holding public services in the lar dining rocm there.

A “military review'’ dmong the Matabcles consists of jumping, dancing, flourishing of weapons and savage shrieks. The better the warrior the greater his frenzy. As they all béjieve in the effectiveness of a good “make-up,” they prepare them- selves for battle by costuming themselves in a skirt-like costume of feathers or skins and hanging about thelr necks a collar of feathers and a ghastly string of bones. In the dance pictured here the-costume is made of sheaves of straw. Matabele in- genuity saw and acted upon the of making a garment from the straw, and the result was the sort.of “kijt”” which the warriors now wear with great pride.

BADEN-POWELL, whose de- fense of Mafeking against the be- sieging Boers has made him oneeof the heroes of the South African war, is as skillful a scout and troker as Buffalo Bill. Whatever Col. Powell knows he knows thoroughiy, whether as soldier, author, yachtsman or man of affairs. Before he was shut up in Mafeking he completed a remarkable little book, just published, en- titled “‘Aids to Scouting.”’ This tiny pocket book, expressly de- signed for non-commisioned: officers and men, states that it’s of no use for soldiers to go on scouting business untrained. Many lives have been lost at that game. The qualities which he requires in scouts are quickness of eve, quick hearing, prac- tice in getting news sent back to head- quarters and the habit of judging from trifling facts. In South Africa, where the enemy's movements are on veldt, tracking and the power to “read” tracks and to tel] thelr age, direction, number and purpose, concealment, avoiding exposure on hilltops, knowledge of direction, of night work acuteness in interpreting sounds when heard'and the use of the sense of smell by night are all necessary. *. Col. Powell tells interesting stories ‘of great ecouts. It was a snegle Pruesian scout who, before Sadowa, discovered the Aus- trian army drawn up in a new position in time for the Prussians to alter their plans. It was another German scout who brought news of the unsupported French army at Vionville and enabled the Germans to de- stroy it. But the services of scouts like Maj, Col- quhoun Grant in the Peninsular war some- times determine the sirategy of a campaign. Grant and others carried out their work in the face of a regular army, amply equipped with cavalry, which they observed dressed in full uniform and relying mainly on their own Feadiness and the speed of their horses. Grant's best piece of scouting was his discovery that Marmont did not really in- tend to attack Almeida or Ciudad Rodrigo during the siege of Badajoz by the British. He spent three days inside Marmont’s lines in wniform and discovered that the Marshal had prepared provisions artd sealing lad- ders for a s'eze. He then gailoped through Marmont’s army. This he watched through a pass, noting their direction, which was towards Ciudad Rodrigo. Still unsatisfied, he doubled back and ep- tered Tamames after the French Nad passed. There he discovered that they had lef: their sealing ladders. behind, which showed that there was no real intention io storm Ciudad Rodrigo., This news, taken to Wellington, teft him free to bring the siege of Badajoz to a successful end. ©ol. Powell in bis book dwells extensively upen United States examples. As long as our regular troops fough: only in their own country they were careful to employ the best native scouts, trained on the spot. In the Mexican war, against an enemy not particularly formidable, but used to guerilla fighting, the Texas frontiermen served as the eyes of the armv.

In a far-sighted eye the distance between the lens and the retina is shortened, and in the neartsighted eye that distance is length- ened, so that in neither case are the rays of flight focused on “the yellow spot.” When a man with imperfect vision strains his eye to see, the lens advances or retracts in its place in the eyeball, so as to increase or diminish the focal power of the eve, but this strain can be relieved by means of spectacles. Now in the case of a near-sighted person, if the spectacles are not “strong” enough they donot relieve this strain, and injury results. If they are too “strong” they make the patient practically far-sighted. Then there are glasses with flaws. so that images seen through them are slightly dis- torted, and other glasses in which the crown of the lens is not the same on both sides, so that objects are reflected obliqeuly. The lens of the eye tries to accommodate itself to and correct all these Imperfections, and the consequence is another species of strain causing astigmatism. BY PRESIDENT LEMBKE.

HAYNES, one of the leaders of the anti-wineroom crusade, the © head of the Spruce Street Mission ~~ work and the unordained preacher and pas- tor of the Congregational Church at Twenty-third street and Clark avenue, has reached conclusions from his work among the people of the slums in 8*. Louls which are startling. : He has become convinced that what these _ people need is not more preaching, but more “treatment.” He believes theiy spiritual - @arkness comes from their physical and - {eonstitutional impairment and the'!r result- ' ant mental and moral deficiencies. In re- he would first consider the physical condition of the “patient.”’ He would have his physical In- firmities diagnosed, He would give spirit- ual treatment only after the patient’ had 4 been made healthy, physically and men- _ tadly. _. . Mr. Haynes would lead him up to spirit- wal heights only when he has been made fit for the scaling. He would resort primarily to doctors in- Stead of preachers, to. hospitals instead of churches, to dispensaries instead of mis- sions. He would first employ all institutional aids to the physical, mental and moral regeneration of fallen men and women, '. and then attempt with enhanced chances _ of success their spiritual rehabilitation. ‘This is the reverse of the sgenerally-held orthodox view whitna ta that epiritual recla- ~ mation 's the Ar#t and orime tocesesiiy, ard ~~ that this will carry with it physical re- _— juvenation, mental quickening and moral ~. wplifting. - ‘The evangelists say: “Seek ye first the # Kingdom of Heaven and all these things : shall be added unto you,” in support of their contention that a new birth spiritu- ally is by itself all-sufficient. Will Not Be Effective. There are not wanting workers in the the manager of an Insurance company to slums who concede tHe value of institu- tional adjuncts who utilize them to the greatest prac- ticable extent, Dut alnost without excep- tion these are employed as supplemental rather than as preliminary aids to con- version. They may even be given a correl- ative place, but they gre not regarded as a preparatory course desirable to be taken before entering the higher walks of spirit- uaMty. But Mr. Haynes’ conclusions are worthy of and will be given consideration by every one who is: familiar with this personality and his work. There is nobody who has worked harder to present the gospel of his Christ to the masses in the congested parts of the city or one who has given the prob- lems of their condition more searching study. His conclusions are not. hastily reached. His reasoning is not directed by his prior conceptions of what ought to be, but by facts and causes and effects @s he finds them to exist. It must be conceded that at the Spruce Street Mission he has not lacked material for observation. This mission was first es- tablished in the old Italian church at Sixth and Spruce streets; it was moved to an- other location near by, then moved to an- other place as the slum center altered, and is now on Seventh street eouth of Market street. Mr. Haynes is one of the younger busi- ness men of St. Louis who are able to prose- eute their enterprises successfully and still find time for a vast amount of evangelical and philanthropic work and public-spirited endeavor. He accomplishes great results in these times because he brings to them a business man’s comprehensive grasp and wide knowledge, accurate discrimination and disciplined energies. During the day he finds time from his business duties as to evangelical effort, and rooms. prosecute the work of closing up the wine- At night he is at the Spruce Street Mission, and on Sundays he acts as the preacher at the Tabernacle Congregational Church. /He is tall, but there ts about him none of the suggestion of wa#fc of length which often clings about a long man. He is earn- est, decisive and has tremendous energy and great capacity for work. With him, to un- dertake a thing is to accomplish it. It will not be warrant for amazement if he Puts his ideas of therapeutical Christianity into effect before long. Here is his own statement of his concju- sions: 1 of church effort, commonly called “mission work,’’ which means evan- Selization among the poorer classes, is in itself a demonstration that there is some- thing lacking in our methods. While no one would favor a discontinu- ance of mission effort, it is also true that those who study the work closely cannot point to results that are commensurate with the efforts that have been put forth. It is doubtful if there is any scriptutal warrant for the assumption that a drunk- ard or a wicked person of any sort can be converted into a good mah by just prepch- ing to him. BY E. A. P. HAYNES.

This wonderful cave was first explored in ‘487i by Charles M. Wheatley, who obtained - the bones of many animals now extinct. In fact, the whole animal kingdom then . ‘existent seems to thave ‘been represented Lin this cave. ~ \ In 184, the quarry having been worked ’ down to a lower lever, the cavern was once more opened and a number of fossil bones again exhumed, which were carelessly cast with the Joose material in which they were entombed upon the refuse dump heap. Tihis fact having been brought to the attention of Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, President of the Academy, he, with the assistance of Sam- uel N. Rhoades, also of the academy, ob- tained a number of specimens of various animals. Still later funds for more extensive work were jointiy contributed by Dr, Dixon, Clarence B. Moore and Henry C. Mercer, and a thorough, careful ard systematic search for fossiis was made under the per- gonal supervision of H. ©. Mercer. This resulted in the bringing to light of a very large additional number of the bones of many animals. As had been done pre- viously with the specimens of the Wheatley collection, thoge now collected for the acad- emy were also submitted for study and identification to the late lamented Prof. Kdaward D. Cope, who during thre intervals of a painful and mortal fliness prepared a monograph upon the Mammalia and oltier vertebrate animals of this exclusively uniqne deposit. Summing ‘1p the varied fauna described in this monograph we find that Prof. Cope had determined from the two collections at least 400 individual animais, composing % distinet species. which he distributed within 3% genera. By far the greater number of these ani- mala are now extinct, though there are closely allied species of many of them now living. Cmitting ten extinct reptiles which were distributed between the turtles, terrapins and tortoises, there were the following num- bers of extinct anime: % glant grounu gloths, 56 ekunke of six species, % tapirs, @ cave beurs, 1 mMastodons, 18 peccaries, Vi field mice of seven sbecies, 7 horses ty allied with Mving forms, = pereu- “ *, \ puber-toothed ro be mouse related to the present white-footed ] mouse, 1 Lagomys related to the pica, an animal now confined to the northwest Rocky Mountains; 1 shrew,. 3 marten, 1 wolverine, 1 weasél, 1 otter, 2 large cats of two species, 1 wildcat, 1 Teleopternus,, a llama or camel-like animal and one snake allied to the present black snake. There were three deer of extinct species and five of the now living Virginia species, and ten wolves and foxes, all of extinct spe- and it proved to be a new species, probably however, related to an existing species, The skunks comprised four species, all extinct; the most numerous individuals of these be- longed, however. to two species. ‘The weasel Was an extinct form, larger than the specics now Uving in North America, but uf equal size with one existing in Brazil. From a paper by Henry C. Mercer g:ving in detail the nmrethod and history of the ex- ploraticn for fossils and which follows that by Prof. emy, we learn that associated with the fauna of this deposit there was also a Cope, in the Journal of the Acad- , flora, not, however, so strikingly different from that of the present day as the former; in fact, all the forms are now indigenous to the region. Thomas E. Meehan, con- servator of the Academy’s herbarium, has identified them as follows: Oak, of which there are three species; hickory, of two species, while there was but one specie each of plum, the hazel, the pine, the willow, the beech and the five-leaved ivy, the haw- thorne and the bladder nut, The tloral remains consisted mainly of twigs, cones, nuts and seeds, the leaves be- ing almost absent or entirely decomposed. wons00S N A K ESeeecees THAT HIBERNATE IN NEW YORK. NEW YORK, Dec. 1b. Special Correspondence of Sunday Post-Dispatch. VERY free snake in the City of New York—and there are more of them and bigger ones than the dweller of cies, excepting two individuals of a form | Manhattan suspects, has now gone to bed now living. Of animals altogether identical with those: the April sun begins to melt for the winter and will not reappear untii the last now living there were 56 rabbits, all of one: *2eW. species; 8 black bears, 2 beavers, 1 jumping mouse, 1 badger and 1 large cat of a spe- cies now living in the West Indies. The extinct forms of all belong to Pleisto- cene times, and many of them are indica- tive of late Pleistocene. . It will be noticed that the most abundant animals of the above jist are the sloths. Of these there were five species, four of which | belong to the genus Megalonyx and one to the genus Mylodon, the Mylodon and two of the forms of the Megalonyx were repre- sented by the remains of but a simgle arf- mal each, so that there were 92 individuals | belonging to two species. These were Mega- lonyx Wheatleyi, by far the most abundant, and Megalonyx tortulus, by no means” un- common. The Mylodon and the Megalonyx are es- pecially characteristic of Pleistocene time. The former is best known from South) America, and about equaled the stacey in size and bulk. ‘The latter, however, mostly if not entirely confined to ke | America, and, while huge and bulky, was | not so large. The different species varied in size from somewhat smalier than a buf- dant form in this deposit, the Wheatleyi. probably was tei of mcre feet in fength, and stood on all four feet four or five fect in height. The fore limbs of these animals were lenger than the hind ones, and their feet temminated in four or five toes armed with large and markedly curved claws. The hinder quarters were especially massive, and the bones of their short hind limbs were shorter and thicker than the corre- sponding bones of the elephant. When walking they made elongated impressions in the muds and sands of their day, more or less Nke those of the human foot. Some of theee impressions, having been preserved in the subsequently solidified rocks of some re- gions, have been mistaken for and over-con- fidently described as those of man. Respecting the cave bear, it may be stated that the teeth and jaws were larger and more formidable than those of the grizzly, while its most abundant food, Cope sug- gests, was the Megalonyx. The specimens of black bear indicate animals varying in size as does the black bear of to-day. it was evidently the same as the existing ati- mal, but was not so abundant as the cave bear. Of the terrible eaber-toothed tigers there were two species, one about the size of the lion. and the other the jaguar. These anl- mais had long protuding compressed saber- shaped canine teeth, which Cope considers better adapted for the destruction of the sloths and bears of that time than would be. the smaller and more conic canine teeth of the tiger of to-day. Of the latter an allied species was also found in the fissure @, posit. It was about as large as the jaguar. It is curious to observe in thie deposit at so high a latitude, 40 degrees north, numer- ous individuals of one species of tapir, a genus now characteristic of warmer and more southern regions, and equally inter- vesting and puzzling is it to note on the other hand the ovcurrence of the wolverine, a genus not now known sovth of northern parts of the States of Massachusetts and New York.

The four first named are likely to hiber- nate together. They all go wnderground in the vicinity of a pond or marsh—just as in the summer they sustain life by feeding on frogs and other small denizens of swamps. The hog-nosed snake prefers to pass the winter in sandy soil.

Y., Dec. 15. Special Correspondence Sunday Post-Dispatch. RRESTED for drunkenness 100 times A and fined in the aggregate $1000—this is the unique police court record of James Gordon, a farmer, residing at Cas- | theton, near this city. Experience, although a dear teacher for Gordon, has not, been able to steady him in his roystering habits. He will likely pay many more dollars in fines before the last chapter of his odd story is reached. At one time Gordon was well-to-do. His farm in Castleton was tilled to the highest stage of profit, and he commanded the re- spect of hie neighbors. He is a man of mid- dle age, of good family, and intelligent. The cause of his persistent inebriety is a mys- tery. About 10 years ago Gordon went on his first drunk. He drow to Albafy, went down through the Tenderloin of the capital city and generally whooped it up. He had the regulation farmer's roll of money with him, and it soon changed ownership. Barly the following morning of the day he arrived in town Gordon was found in the south end of the city, perched on the seat of a truck and calling out to imaginary horses io keep the plow in the proper fur- row—‘‘gol dera them!”’ He resisted arrest and was only gathered in after a tusse] with one-quarter of the re- serves of the nearest precinct. He was fined % in court, but didn’t have a penny to pay it. Just as he was being marched to jail he | peained a bankbook showing $2000 to als credit. A. mesenger.was sent down and enough was drawn to pay the fine and the FOR BEING DRUNK. livery man who held Gordon's rig. Then he departed, a sadder but not a wiser man. Just two weeks later Gordon arrived in town again. Another big wad bere him company. He went through almost the same programme. He drank, he slummed, he danced and he whooped. It was not long before he and his jag were collected again. Another $% fine got him off tn the morn- ing. He paid it only after recourse to his bank again. He paki it boastingly and served notice that he would do it all over again at the next opportunity. Within a fortnight Gordon came again, giml he has been making trips to Albany with more or less frequency for 10 years, Every arrest seems to whet his appetite for another. It was his action with regard to the mohey end of his escapades that first drew attention to his case. After a dogen arrests Gordon went to his bank and apprised the officials that he would reserve his account there as a drunk fund only. Similar note was served upon the magistrates. After that, whenéver Gor- don was arrested, the doorman at the sta- tlon bouse was sent to the bank for the price of his fine without further instruc- tions. One thousand dollars of his deposit has already been eaten up. A number of times he has been fined $25 for a drunk, but this caused no comment. Gordon says now (that he has nothing to regret and that he pro- poses to drink and pay fines unt!) his drunk account ts used up. “Then,” he says, “I'll get drunk again amd go to jail often enough to make up in board what Love paid in fines." HOW 10. GE A MARRIAGE LICENSE A REVENUE STAMP A POLICE SUMMONS Information Which St. : HOW TO GET A : MARRIAGE LICENSE. The season of social events is on, and with it there is the usual rush in the an- cient and honorable practice of marrying and giving in marriage. Before loving cou- ples can enjoy the bliss of the matrimonial etate, it is necesasry for them to pass through two embarrassing ordeals—procur- ing the Hcense and submitting to the sol- emn ceremony of marriage. In weddings no one is altogether inex- perienced. If a man has not been an active party in one, he has seen several and has some idea what he is expected to do on such a momentous occasion. But with the marriage license it is different. Few per- they intend to make an investment them- selves. Consequently, when they do go, they do not know how to act, and the re- sult is they frequently betray an amusing embarrassment. The purpose of this story is to inform all persons who contemplate marriage of the mysttries-of the marriage licerise office and of what they must do when they visit it. The authority to issue marriage licenses is vested in the Recorder of Deeds of St. Louis. His office is in the Courthouse. It is the great, gloomy building in the shape of a Greek croes that stands in the square bounded on the east and west by Fourth street and Broadway and On the north and south by Chestnut and Market streets. All couples who wish to procure the permis- sion of the law to wed must visit this building unless they prefer to add some- thing to the clerk’s legal fee and induce him to visit them at their homes. This method is not often resorted to except by persons of means, who wish to surround their marriage with as much dignity as possible. With the system of transfers that recent- came in vogue in this city couples may board street cars anywhere in the city and g) direct to Courthouse square. Upon ar- riving there they will go to one of the building's two main entrances, which are on Broadway and Fourth street. They lead into a broad, lofty corridor, which opens in the center of the bullding under the dome. The seekers for the mar- riage license office wil! find it by facing the Chestnut street side of the buliding while standing under the dome. They will see a great brass sign before them, reading, “Marriage Licenses.” It hangs over the door to the marriage license department of the Recorder of Deeds’ office. The couple, wpon entering this door, will find themselves in a narrow hall running around a little space boxed off in one corner. That's the office proper. It is about 10 feet square. It is entered through a latticed swinging door. Two clerks—a chief La a deputy—are ready to receive all visitors. It is pre- sumed that, when a man appears in the of- fice with a woman, he wants a license. So, when the clerk sees a couple, he seizes his pen and begins to ask the usual questions. He first fills out the application blank. In doing this, he asks the names Of the appli- canta, their addresses and ages. The appli- cants are expected to answer all these questions correctly and one will be required to perjure one’s self if one does not. After the bianks are filled out, the clerk asks if the applicants are related, and, if @, in what degree, If a relationship in as ciose degree as first cousin is discovered, tbe li- cense is refused, because the law does not allow @& Man and woman to marry if re- lated in that degree. But if there is no such relagion the clerk administers the oath Titel Bvt. On th Se 208: sons visit the place where it is issued until Louisans and Visitors to St, Louis Will Find Valuable. tered if answers to the usual questions show. that the man is under 21 years of age or the girl is under 18 or both, for they must be over those ages to marry and the license can only be obtained in that case by the parent of the person too young going to the office and giving his written consent. If all the questions are answered satisfac- torlly, the clerk fills out a large sheet of parchment. It is the license, and he simpiy puts the date of the issuance and the names of the parties and their addresses on it. It has two sections. One is the marriage cer- tificate, which Is signed by the minister or justice performing the ceremony, and the other is to be returned by the minister or justice with an affidavit that he performed the marriage ceremony for the holders. Soon as the license is issued, a record of the issuance is made. It is not complete until the record of the return is added. These records are examined every 9 days. and all uncompleted ones are referred to the Grand-jury, and if the parties to whom the licenses were issued cannot account for them, they are indicted and prosecuted for their frivolity or negligence as the case may be. The Marriage License Clerk is not in the mercantile business, but the nature of his office makes it incumbent upon him, as a public servant, to keep a stock of embossed and engraved Marriage certificates on hand for sale at cost to couples. There are sev- eral varieties and grades of these, and cou- ples ‘thay get them merely by asking for them. They vary in prbce according .to quality. But if none of these certificates is wanted, the couple may go with the one on their license. The fee allowed by law for the licenge Is $1, and that is all the clerks ask. That pald, the ordeal of the marriage license is past, and only that of the wedding remains. * . _ HOW TO OBTAIN :.... APOLICE 6UMMONS. There are three courts in St. Louls for the trial of “police court cases,"’ embracing disturbances of the peace and violations of the city ordinances. Bach of these courts has jurisdiction over certain sections of the city. od The central portion of the city is in the First district. This territory les between Washington avenue on the north and Ar- senal street on the south. The courtroom is on the basement floor at the Four Courts Building and is presided over by Judge Sidener. Perry Post Taylor and Thomas Stanton are his assistants. If a person wishes to prosecute another person in this court, and a policeman did not witness the alleged offense, it will be necessary to ob- tain a police court summons. This may be issued by either Mr. Taylor or Mr. Stanton, The attorneys may be found until] the ad- journment of court, usually about noon, in the courtroom. After that hour and until § o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Stanton may be found in his office in the east end of the Four Courts Buyullding on the first floor. All that Is necessary to obtain a summons is for the applicant to apply in person and make a full statement of the circum- stances and ta have the statement = roborated by one = more witnesses. the City Attorney Byers # “ if » has deen satiated that an offense lasue the summons and there will be no cost attached.

The coat is of white broadcloth, showing stitched waist and skirt effect; the upper portion exhibits a wide collar with revers in front covered with a net- work of cream lace applique. The hat ts of white velvet, the crown very large, soft and full, the brim wide and laid in loose box plaits. The ornamentation consists of @ cluster of short white ostrich tips placed a: one side. The children are now wearing very é¢ffective bows of ribbon directly on top of the head. The hair is parted on each side, the lower portion being slightly waved, is allowed to hang loceely about the face and neck, while the upper lock is fastened by a made bow of inch or inch and a half ribbon tied In a double bow with abruptly pointed ends. The effect is re- ‘markably good, and where a number of children are gathered together wearing these butterfly bows in various shades of delicately tinted ribbon the sight is an at- tractive one. For older girls top coats and reefers are shown in the biscuit tints, though black is often employed with great effect. One such coat tis of black broadcloth, cut to follow the outline of the figure at the back, but left loose in front; the narrow, black, roll- ing collar widens in front in a ftll rever which crosses the bust and fastens a little to one side. Under this is a standing col- lar and frort of panne velvet in the orange shades, designed in Persian effects. The hat is of black veivet, soft crown and elightly rolling brim. A swagger bow of the Persian velvet is the only ornamenta- tion. Gowns for young giris from 10 to 15 are fashioned of soft woolen stuffs, either plain or in some of the novelty combinations or plaids. Skirts are plain, all trimming being confined to the bodice, which js made more Or less elaborate, according to the occasion for which the costume is designed. For school wear a guimpe of taffeta silk either of the same color or of a contrasting hue is utilized in order to give a lighter effect. This guimpe is tucked or shirred. Often the gailor blouse is used and then the silk or broadcloth coNar and shield are put on per- fectly plain and smooth, filling the throat lightly, and exhibiting no ornamentation save the handsomely embroidered naval de- sign in the center of the shieid. A very at- tractive gown of this description is of dark blue serge, the wide collar and the shied being of patie biue silk embroidered in black. The same effects are shown in the sallor blouses intended for boys, the gerge colar being supplemented by a shield and with collar of blue, red. brown, black or white silk, as the buyer may fancy. The vestee suits for small boys continue to be popular, the little cutaway jackets and the kKnicker- bocker of blue. brown or black, while the vest is of some fancy color mixture or two- ; tone novelty cloth. Norfolk biouse suits and Russian designs are shown. Coats are either of broadcloth for the younger children, made with triple capes and wide belts, or of | the heavier cloths for the older boys and youths, a chinchilla effect tn black and gray cheviot or frieze being the proper thing. As for the women’s clothes, they continue to be very gorgeous in coloring and ex- tremely pronounced in cut. In orcer to have the proper fit they must be worn over silk | tights, petticoats being entirely eliminated. At a recent dinner 10 of the 12 women present wore no skirts under their exqui-) sitely fitting evcaing gowrs, and it is easy | to realize, in contemplating these costumes, that there is absolutely no reom for super- fluous underwear. So completely are these gowns modeled to the figure that every line and every curve is.thrown into relief. Not a wrinkle is visibie and the marvel is to locate the point where the necessary fasten- ings are concealed. One gown parivcuiarly noticeable ‘s of pastel pink broadcloth, the skirt fitted with a box plait in the center of the pack, the lower portion being arranged in numerous flat bands appliqued on to the main body of the skirt and forming a succezs:on of deep points in front. The bodice is of pink lYberty eatin arranged in a solid mass of fine tucks and preserving what is now the only correct figure, the straigiht front showing no curve whatever, .With siender figures th's appearance is more readily ob- tained than with stouvter ones, still between the effects produced by the corset. maker and the skillful manipuations of the dress- makers, wonderful results are cbtained. A gown of turquo’se blue silk has a close- ly fitted skirt. the seams outined with cream-white lace passementerie, which starts at the belt and rung to the hem. The bodice ghows the same effect in hand- some lace, while the front is one mass of soft lace caught with jeweled pins. A toque of turquoise blue velvet with white chiffon rim is worn with this toilet, An- other gown is in combination of blue silk and French frocaded gauze, heay vily em- broidered in the tiniest of rhinestones and steel paillettes. The skirt is long and very narrow, the train be'ng noticeably scant. The bottom shows numerous narrow but full ruchings of blue chiffon, while the front of the waist is a mass of closely tucked chiffon over which are laid folds of the brocaded and embroidered gauze. Biack i6, conespicuous'y, the gwagger thing—and surely no colored gown can fear the distinction derived from a well placed costume of black. Entire spangled gowns are shown, but they are beginning to pall a l*%tte upon the popular taste owing to the fact that the continuous glitter be- comes monotonous after a while and one sighs for something more subdued. The liberty silks continue popular for walets end fancy bodices, while summer silks are utilized for extra waists for wear with dark skirts. A clever gown for afternoon wear is of creaim nun’s veiling with cream lace fig- ures inserted and hemmed with narrow rib- bons of the same hue. Many summer gowns may thus be utilized with good ef- fect for house and afternoon wear during the winter. a "NOTHING BUT A BIG WAX DOLL.

Teat Madam -I hare been en- Margaret Kent: aml am gaged to a young man for twol years, deepir attached to him. Tf hate late a change in his letters, and at one thme I did not bear from h'm in three weeks. I wrote and asked the reason, and he answered, saying he had been keeping company with # young lady in his town nearly all summer. He feels sorry about ft. but didn’t say what he was going to do. I wrote to him and sald some things which made him see how wrong he bad been, as he sald he should never escort young ladies to parties, etc., and in turn I promised him the same, and kept my promise. His mother wrote to me about it, and said he intended to write. She feels badly about it, and is trying to straighten the matter out. He wrote me he was not all to blame, ag he had always been out in society before he met me, and when be went with her the first time said—he would not again, but she encouraged it, as did the people with whom she lives, and this way kept going to see her and taking her out until, I think from what bis mother wrote me, that they love each other, but he says he still loves me, too. This young lady knew of me all the time—knew that we were engaged, and had even seen me at his house, es I was there on his mother's invi- tation. I know he has fought agafnst it, and intended to leave home for a time, but financial difficulties rendered this impossible, and so he remained. I knew he truly loved me up to April, at least, and then this girl attracted him, and be has been with her at different times all summer. As I said before, he knows he has done wrong, and ought to have resisted her, but was fond of going about, and this is how it all camé about. He says he would be back in his affections with me if he could, as be was very sincere until he knew her, but you know there would be a change after this happening. Will you please tell me what you think of her and her people—that és, have they dene right? ‘What do you think about the young man, and do you think it possible for him to have the same regard for me that he had before he knew her? And what would you do if you were in my place and bed the feeling for him that I still have? { Perhaps you may think I could decide this for my- self, but I have been so deeply troubled over it that I hardly know what is right. Please tell me all. you can think of that would be of benefit, ae I am in deep anxiety. I have a mother, and have talked with her a great many times, Dut thought you might be able to tell me something of which she had not thought. HELEN. No men can love two women at the same time, and an engaged man or woman who cannot withstand the propinguity of anoth- er of the opposite sex without getting sen- timental, is a poor investment as husband or wife. Your fetter is so honest and so unques- tionably comes from a conscientious girl, that it really grieves me to have to say I feel sure you should not, even though you again have the opportunity, confine your life’s happiness to the keeping of the man who has not been loyal to you under what may be termed ordinary circumstances. The love—or whatever you choose to call it—that cannot withstand the relatively slight temptation to which your flance suc- cumbed, would never outlive the wear and tear of matrimony. Let us not discuss the attitude of the oth- er girl or her people. We cannot exactly put ourselves in the place of mother or daughter. But you have a right to exact loyalty from your affianced husband. He has falled to keep his promise and I hope you wili have the courage and dignity to release him from an rere he which he has 8 ignored. nothieed of : Le ee Seen SS to Sunday ois Dianmicl Reat Who Have Troubles and Need Guidance.

For $25.00 a magnificent kitchen can be bullt, and there are not many which cost more than that sum erected by professional kitchen-build- ers. In some private houses the builders have put up kitcheng which cost from $3000 to $20,000. These have facilities for the prep- aration of every known or imaginary dell- cacy. The estructural cost of a modern hotel or restaurant kitchen bears direct ratio to the character of its patronage. The volume of trade has not much to do with it. For instance, the immense range of one par- ticular and noted hotel uptown, where the waiters serve nearly 200 meals every day, is at least six times as long as the range of a certain more moderate priced restaur- ant, whose walters carry meals to 80 or more patrons. The high-claas ‘hotel, pro- viding, of course, superior food and :pre- paring it In daintier forms, possesses a wil- derness of copper and iron pots and kettles and long-handled stew pans for cooking sauces and open grates for brolling, where- as such accessories in the cheaper hotel are not numerous. The demand for a great variety of delicacies is not strong; therefore the great array of copper and broiling grates is not required. Another important difference between the kitchens of the first-class restaurants and that eome classes below is revealed by the dimensions of the bain-marie—‘bath of Mary.’ that ts, which is spoken of in the \ BUILDER of kitchens was asked: : Se ee NR Se + a JF 5 “2 * ee ve ad, g jk me + w COST OF A HOTEL KITCHER the receptacle filled with water, maintained .at a certain heat by steam pipes.

SIDFNER, Justice of the First District Fkolice Court, has in- oe troduced severai startling innova- ONS Since his appointment to that poai- en, Nov. 2. All of them seem to work i the good of the community and against Me interests of persons who seek to inake i@ney out of unfortunate men and women | favor of those whom chance or mis- _Septune places in the hands of the law. "Piretiy, by virtue of a recent order, he hia practically destroyed the power of the known as “the Four Courts grafter.”’ peconcly, he has drafted an amendment @ an ordinance, which will soon be intrv- meed in the House of Delegates, providing Specific punishment fer the class of cr!m- als known as “confidence men,” or “von . ee * Hirdly, he has inaugurated a system of smMon sense fines for disturbers of the pee be, men who maltreat their wives and eons arrested for intoxication. 7hese innovations mean a great deal to en familiar with the irner workings of me First District Police Court, in the Four Covrts building at Twolfth street and Clark Wenue, in connection with which many eviis have flourished. 7in St. Louis there is a class of men who rec rent this old building waiting for of- encers, especially women, to be brought ito the Central Police Station, which ad- me the room in which the Police Court Wecated. These men, who are valied ‘‘pro- fessional bondsmen,”’ furnish immediate ma for persons arrested, charging an ex- Mitant fee, which is invariably paic, anid ing them ‘“‘protection'’’—that is, prom- them that they wil! see that the fine posed at the next session of the court be light, or that they (the bondsmen) ; personal influence with the Justice f the court, wi!l have them (the priscners) ither discharged without tria! or acquitted. "When a prisoner is not brought to trial id the charge against him is dismissed, *“nolle prosequi’’ is entered on the docket te the name by the City Attorney. *, as it is frequently written, the case is lle pross’d.’’ ee - ae y of these “professional bondsmen,” ‘halt of whom are saioon keepers, own not @ne cent of property, as required by law. consequence is that when a prisoner to appear fot trial and his bond is de- forfeited, the city cannot collect the nt (usually $200) from the man who the bon mid the revenue is lost. ; iy the bondsman has profited by the Soner’s arrest. Not once in a hundred times Is a delinquent bondsman punished, and this peculiar industry flourishes. It was to kill the power of the “pro- fessional bondsman” that Judge Sidener }:- sued an order that all persons charged with a simple misdemeanor be released upon their own recognizance until the day fol- lowing. That is, when a man Is arrested for disturbing the peace, his name and offense are recorded at the Police Station and he is told to go free, drunk or sober, but in no wise to fail to appear in the Police Court within 24 hours to answer for his offense. In this manner the prisoner becomes his own bondsman and the power of the pro- fessional is lost Such is the way by which Judge Sidener proposes to kill the businezs of Police Court “grafting.”’ There is no law in St. Louls covering the crime of the ‘‘confidence man.’ For years these individual: have been ‘robbing the guileless and unwary, especially farmers and men from smaller towns who came to St. Louis. These men frequent Union Sta- tion and entice their victims to a place, usually a saloon, and usually fleece them of their money by inveigling them Into a dice game. The offenders, if arrested, are invariably sent to the Police Court on a charge of “idling.” If their guilt is estab- lished they are fined and usually ‘given hours’’ to leave the city—that is to say, they are given their choice of paying the fine or of getting out of St. Louis by a certain hour set by the court. But these men were not “idling.’”” As a matter of fact, they are always very busy. Besides that, they can cla'm a place of abode, and they always have money. It is anomalous to convict them of “idling.”’ They know this, and appeal their cases to the Court of Criminal Correction. There the decision of the Police Court is nearly always reversed and they are set free. To remedy this condition Judge Sidener has drafted the following amendment to the city ordinances, section 1062, clause 3, which will be introduced at the next sez- sion of the Hovse of Delegates by Capt. Charles 8. Holtcamp: Any person or persons who, for the purpose of gaming or gambling, entices by misrep- resentation or otherwise, any person or per- sons to any building, room, shed or public place in the city of St. Louis for the purpose of engaging any such person or persons in any gaine or games of chance prohibited by city ordinance. This law, when enacted, will make it -* possible to convict a “confidence man” and thereby check the power of a class of offenders whose presence in St. Louis is notorious, A few days ago a confidence man was arraigned in the Police Court charged with “idling.’’ Judge Sidener refused to fine him, saying: “This man may be guilty of larceny, but he is certainly not guilty of idling. He has a stated place of abode and had money when he was arrested. The fact that he is willing to plead guilty on the condition =. Junet Geo.B. Sipenep — et . that he be given hours to leave the city does not warrant me in fining him. In the future I shall never fine a man unless he be guilty of the crime with which he is charged. There shall be no temporizing. It is not law nor justice when any other plan is followed. “I am opposed to the system of giving a man hours to leave the city. The law con- templates that when a person is guilty of an offense he shall be punished. It does not conternplate that his offense here shall be condoned and he be sent to some other BO RAN Pat AS aA A ARE AR Fa ne ee ae. ee ee :. i - he ne grec ’ : [ee ne FR APTA, oe a Sis R wey = - fom 4 e + ° > ee eS y* oe Ses © Pie Bae. tose ; are a & = a > % community to repeat the offense there. Nor is it fair for us to unload undesirable citizens on other cities. When we banish one of this class he goes to a new com- munity. We know him here, and his ca- pacity to do harm is minimized, but when he goes into a new community he is sup- posed to be an honest man, and can thus operate for a time without being under constant surveillance of the police. “As soon aS my amendment is made a law it will be an easy matter to convict these ‘“‘confidence men’’ according to law, FOES ye SS Cet rggnert Br RAP and that is the only way a person can be convicted In my court.” ! Concerning his order directed against “professional ,bondamen™” Judge Sidener said: “This plan was evolved by Chief Camphell and myself, an4 has worked with gratifying success. In all such cases we have had only one bond forfeiture since the order Was issued) Under the old system we would have had ® or more in the same time. “This move was aimed at the pernicious system of ‘grafting’ which has preva:led around the Four Courts Building for years. Pefore I went on the bench I had practiced in the criminal and police courts and I was thoroughiy familiar with the practices and determined to remedy matters. The ‘grafting’ ts confined largely to the ‘profcs- sional bondsmen.’ They preyed upon un- fortunate women and men and made incred- ible sums of money by. bailing them out and promising them ‘protection.’ For this prom- ise, which the bondsmen were in no posi- tion to fulfill, the defendant paid a round fee. which was regulated only by the de- fendant’s capacity to pay. In order to get enough money to pay the bondsmen and grafters the unfortunates were driven to graver crimes. Robberies by women became more numerous because of the demands made wpon them by the ‘grafters.’ “The bondemen In many cases were men who ownr:d no property. Their bonds were not worth the paper they were written on. I would not stand to eee the helpless de- fendants pay for a worthless ‘bond, and then to see the city loge revenue In order to fatten the ‘grafters.’ I appointed apprais- ers to investigate the property ‘of some of these ‘straw bondsmen,’ and when I was absolutely convinged that they were not valid I barred them from signing bonds. Later I adopted the plan of allowing certain defendants to sign their own bonds.” One of his decisions that attracted much comment was when Judge Siener fined a defendant $25 on the charge of disturbing his wife’s peace and then stayed the fine, costs and all, on the condition that he pay his wife the amount of the fine. ‘This man, who drove his wife from home and then abused her had _ influential friends.”’ said Judge Sidener. “I thought they might try to have the fine remitted. Then no good would come at all of the fine I had imposed. The woman was penniless and I knew the money would be welcome to her at a time when winter was coming on ard she and her two children needed clothing. I have never regretted my decis- ion in that case.”’ In South St. Louis one night recently a man became intoxicated and went home and assaulted his wife. With a hatchet he demolished the furniture. Judge Sidener asked the mzn’s wife what the value of the propertv was.. She replied that it cost “Well,” said the Court, “I will just fine him $65, the value of the property.” Judge Sidener is a keen observer and he sizes up a “plain drunk” or a begging case in a few minutes. The laboring man, who can show by his hands, garb and actions that he is a laboring man, and that he is not a vicious character, may be fined, few cays ago when he fined a man for s disturbing the peace of a third party who was not present. oS There was ill feeling between two “oe ing men. One met a mutual friend ana called the absent one bad names and re flected on his integrity. The language ° at repeated to the third party and he cai the arrest of the first man. appealed. Judge Sidener will not tolerate factured" defense. Only a day or two men were before him on , of disturbing the peace. One man Was a => ~ ae ¢ Mand = ; x 2 hs two ago ; ae ae cab driver, the other a laborer. The cab driver had another cab driver tender to testify for him and laborer, who had been in the days and had no friend to But the man’s face bore the truth and the cab drivers’ and : story conflicted in important cab driver was fined $2) and the laborer discharged. a Judge Sidener is % yeara old ) born at Crawfordsville, Ind; He on a farm. raphy and became an expert operator. read law at odd moments and finally cured admission to the bar, He tried his first case before a lawyer.

This plate had been fired at five times before, the projec- tile used being a 100-pound armor-piercing one: The plate had withstood the impact of these shots without cracking, although dented, and the test by armor experts was considered a most satisfactory one, “Do you think you can smash thai plate, Gathmann?” sneeringly asked one or the experts betore the test. “Yes,” was Mr. Gathmann’s response, “And, what's more, I'll emash it with a wooden projectile.’’ In all these tests it is aimed to produce the same conditions as would obtain in a naval combat. The armor plate to be fired at is backed up by massive oak timbers, set deep in the earth, and these in turn are backed up by tons upon tons of sand, giving the same, or even greater, element of rigidity that a shot would encounter in striking an armor-clad vessel, Mr. Gathmann loaded up a wooden shel! with 100 pounds of gunecotton and launched it at the plate. The piate was shattered to pleces, while the timbers and earth back of it were scattered in all directions.

a One Man of Made Millions and May Make More. NEW YORK, Dec. 1b. Special Correspondence Sunday Post-Dispatch. SCAR HAMMDPRSTEIN built six theaters In New York and is now building his seventh. i He started with nothing but brains and energy and the determination not to leave to others things that he could do himself. He ts & years old, and its beginning life over axain, with a second fortune in sight. His monument« are the Harlem Opera House, the Columbus Theater, the Harlem Music Hall, the "Manhattan Opera House, Koster & Bial's, Olympia and Victoria. é Pour years ago his whole fortune, more than a mi.iton dollars, was swept away. Now he is rearing his seventh monument, to be known as the Republic Theater. He can write an operd make a cigar, conduct a rehearsal, design a building, superintend a con- tract, manage a theater, pass on building ma- terial, dream big enterprises and convince capital- ists that his dreams are not “pipe dreams.” “My income will -be $200,000 a year when I get things fairly started,” said Mr. Hammerstein a day or two ago to a Sunday Post-Dispatch repre- aentative At the same time he was rolling a cigar for himself from a heap of choice Havana “‘fillef’’ on a table by-his piano. “A wise man won't forget this first trade,” he explained, as he applied a match to the fragrant prodvct. “He never can tell when he’ll have to fail back on it.” Oscar Hammerstein, the Napoleon of music hall managers, making cigars for a living! There is 4 picture to add to the gayety or nations. But Mr. Hammerstein takes it seriously. “This theatrical business is mighty uncertain,” he says, with a théughtful flirt of the eyelid. Uncertain! Who should know it better than he —better than Oscar Hammerstein, to whom Many Parts Who Has{A Youth Whose One Idea Is the Profession in Which He Has Won Fame. | A STARTLING COMPARISON SUPPLIED BY A GERMAN | NATURALIZED IN AMERICA AND A BRITON IN ENGLAND. Is there a rehearsal going forward? Oscar Hammerstein is on the stage at once. The chorus tremble at his approach. He knows everything, sees everything. No ear quicker than his to de- tect a false note, no eye quicker to see when the bandits fail to look fierce or the village gir's to sway their arms naturally. Ig there any problem connected with the theater foundations where the steam drills are pounding? Oscar Hammerstein is on the scene in a momeiuit, scrambling over heaps of rubble and picking his way through puddles of water. He knows what he wants and he makes it known in a few sen- tentious words bawled above the hissing of steam and clatter of iron. Is it a question of passing upon the quality of bricks submitted for the walls of the building? You can’t fool Oscar Hammerstein on bricks. He takes them in his plump hands, compytes their weight, feels the texture, scrapes the surface with his thumbnail, runs his eye closely over ‘the proffered samples and announces his decision with the air of a man who has been apprasing bricks all his life. T occupy Oscar Hammerstein’s attention in a day. He is busy from before daylight till nearly midnight. Instead of shrinking from responsibilities, he is greedy for them. It is only when he has done a thing himself that he is quite sure that it is well and truly done. His daity work as manager of the Victoria Music Hall would be enough to claim all the energies of most individuals. But Hammerstein's energies flow over. He is content to leave nothing wholiy in the hands of others. He is no more an architect than he is a musician, or a ballet dancer, or a bandmaster, or a brickmaker, or a builder and contractor, or one of a score of other characters that he can assume on occasion: but he has acquired enough knowledge about archi- HESE are only a few of the things that ; 7“ te” Oscar Hammerstein is 30 years old.

His start in life was a blow on the head from his father which sent him across the sea He is a German, the work of several lifetimes. to seek his fortune. His first success Hie has amassed was in the cigar-making trate several fortunes—and lost them. His power hes in ‘his energy, ambition, versatility. He is a Cesar as to energy and can do a score of things well at the same time. He ‘has made his fame as theater manager, but is likewise a musician, bandmaster, ballet dancer, architect, contractor, brickmaker—or Cigar roller. He worries—but is happy. He likes work, but is willing to play at times.

Treat is, the process suggested Aladdin's palace to on_ookers; but to Oscar Hammerstein it was simply a question of hard work and hard thinking ~—prodigious work and prodigious thinking, indeed. It is simply that there ig more dynamic energy stored up in that little rotund man, with his bird- like eye, his pert profile and his resolute jaw, than one could extract from a regiment of dreamers. Oscar Hammerstein is a dreamer, to be sure, but he interprets his dreams in achievements, erystaliiges them into facts. If he dreams a palace, he straightway sets about building it. His imagination expresses itself in realities, A himself, while the Sunday Post-Dispatch photographer! went about his task, the Victoria Music Hall, in which Mr. Hammerstein has his office, trembled with a mighty pounding the puffing ang hissing and clatter in the lot at the rear. - ' Half a dozen steam drills were driving holes into the rock so that it might be blasted away to make room for the foundations of Oscar Ham- merstein’s new theater—the Republic. That tumult seemed a congenial accompaniment to the fragments of narrative and shreds of phi- losophy with which the little man appeased the curiosity of his visitor. The persistence with which those diabolical little machines ate their way into the living rock might have been inter- preted as a symbol of Hammerstein's lifelong battle w'th fortune. Why had he ieft Germany for America? Cause ef a blow. “Do you séé that scar over my left eye?’ he Said, ‘““Well, that’s what brought me here. 4 Went skating one day instead of going to school.

[ Gicn't appreciate that at the time, though, I just ran away.” It was when he got to this country that he learned the cigar-making trade. He is the only theatrical manager in New York who can roll a cigar for himself as a Spaniard rolls a cigarette, and who likes to do it. But that is only one of his many strange accomplishments, Is there a song to be written, an operetta com- pused?

Others had tried to get this property, but they gave up in despair because the affairs of the real estate were so entangled that is seemed hardly likely that any man would ever be able to straighten them out. “Well, I managed to interest eertain capitalists in a Hammerstein amusement scheme, and here I am right side up with care. To-day my income is about $5000 per year, but inside of four years I am satisfied that it will be $200,000. Now that I am getting up in the world again I find that I have no difficulty in securing all the capital I want for my new theater. The Republic’ will open its doors to the public on the evening of Sepi. 3, and the attraction will be James A.

I will put up a playhouse in Philadelphia that will create a sensation in that city. LONDON, Dec. 8. Special Correspondence of Sunday Post-Dispatch. EVENTEEN years ago Alfred Harmsworth S was a poor working journalist sharing a room in ‘Battersea, one of the working-class quarters of London, with another lad. The son of a well-known English barrister, he had resigned the opportunity of going through a uriversity and becoming a lawyer, preferring to earn his living with his pen. To-day, though only 3 years old, he is the larg- est pewspaper owner and publisher in Great Brit- ain As a lad of 16 he was earning $25 a week with the Illustrated London News; to-day he owns a business worth $20,000,000, started and, built up by his own skill. His journalistic genius has shaken the London press out of the rut of traditionalism, his untiring energy has built up newspaper preperties with a speed which in England has never before been equaled. His doings keep the newspaper men of the Old Werld in a constant ferment. He is ever de- vising new schemes, planning fresh conquests. Before he entered the newspaper business a cir- culation of a quarter of a million a day was the greatest realized by the most successful daily. With the Daily Mail he has already trebled that record, and ‘he hopes soon to sell a million a day. Recently he gave an order to one firm for $5,- 000,000 worth of paper. What is for him more perhaps than anything else, the sweet disposition of his wife has conquered the world as com- - pletely as the genius of the husband has made its way in business. She married him when a poor lad, helped him at first by working alongside of him in his office, when the was too poor to afford many clerks, and has actively participated in every step of his progress. HAT is the secret of Alfred Harmsworth's W success? How is it that out of the scores of thousands who have entered the same field in London he has so far outrun every competitor? Wat underlying principles have guided his conduct? It was to answer these questions that I sought him out in his news- in jevrnalistic luxury. Soft electric lights, deftly hidden .behind the beokcases, shed their radiance on the ceiling; the mantel was a work of art; the statuettes dreams of beauty. Books and papers abounded, all in order; no sound of print- ing machines penetrated the thick walls; the easy chairs invited one to rest. The occupant of the room, however, was far from resting. As I entered he was busily revis- ing the manuscript of his leader for the next edition of his paper. He got up, flung himself into an easy chair, and, with a dreamy look in his eyes reminding’ one of Cecil Rhodes at rest, lis- tered to my questions. “What is the secret of my success?’ he repeat- el in the low tones of one who reserves nerve power as much. as possible. ‘‘Concenétration! De- votion to my work! Journalism is to me not mcrely a business but a hobby and a pleasure. Some men dissipate their energies—they devote themselves to trotting horses, their minds are absorbed with yachting, and so on. Their busi- ness is one thing, their pleasures another; and as soon as they can they throw their business on one side for pleasure. Or else they meddle with a dozen different concerns, with few of which they can be familiar in all details. Now, I con- centrate myself on one thing—journalism. I have no trotting horses or anything that stands in the place of tratting horses, save half a dozen au- tomobiles. Journalism is my business, journalism is my recreation, journalism is my all.” “Do you mean, Mr. Harmsworth, that the news. paper man to be successful must limit himself to just one tvhing?’’ “[ do not say that what the world calig suc- cess is necessarily worthy of having, but as we are talking of the thing and you ask me, I wceuld reply: Look around for the answer. Look at the men who try to do two things and see wiere they are. Years ago you had the literary barrister, iving in the Temple, who practiced at the courts and wrote articles for the newspapers. Where is the literary barrister now? They do not want him at the courts, and certainly they do not at the newspaper offices. ‘Some men try to carry on newspaper work while dabbling in philanthrophy; they are good neither in the slums nor in Pleet street. The work is so exacting that it requires all a man’s self, and the same rule applies not only to jovrnalism but to every other business or pro- fession. HEREVDPR men have really succeeded they have concentrated their energies. tional, and now to imperial politics, and the re- sults are evident. In South Africa Cecil Rhodes has worked by day and dreamed by night for his Cape to Cairo Railway, and for South Africa all English. Both are coming into the region of ac- complished fact, despite temporary delay by the Boers. Look at Irving, living only for the drama, and see what he has done. “[ say deliberately that, in England at all events, there is no task a man cannot accom- Plish. There is no ambition too high for him to realize, if he is only willing to devote himself day and night to it. If it is a premiership he wants he can become Prime (Minister. “Of course concentration must have added to it other essential qualities. I know men who give themselves up to their purposes In a one-eyed fashion. They are fanatical; they have no sense of humor; théy lack tact. Consequently they fail.. “Another thing which has helped my brothers and myself in business is that we are always willing to try every new thing. No matter how expensive the machinery We have put in to-day, we will discard it to-morrow for something that will more adequately fulfill our purposes. We have men who do nothing else but test new in- ventions submitted to us. It pays us to have them. Hence in the Daily Mail I. am able to publish news more rapidly than any other paper, and I have appliances and machines practically unknown outside these offices. You must avail yourself of the latest and best if you are to get on.”’ été HEY ‘tell me, Mr. Harmsworth, that be- * sides being the editor of about a score Of papers, you write largely yourself. How do you find time?” ‘Tl still do all kinds of copy—leaders, interviews, articles full of fact; and I write because I like writing. I Mave done hunéreds of interviews like the one you are now doing with me. I dictate all my stuff, because I have no time to write with my own hand. I believe that to produce the best work you must write, not dictate. I would put writing by hand first, writing on the type- writer second, and dictation third in order of merit. When yot write with the pen you prune and prune; dictated work gets less attention. Picase do not think, however,:.that I claim my articles to have any great merit. They are only a small part of my daily work. To write like Kipling, you must not only be born a Kipling but give Kitpling’s devotion to your work." ‘What time to you find to write?’’ time a first-rate score of the popular class, and write the words, too. myself fretting and worrying. it that when things begin to go smoothly I find I've had trouble paper office off Fleet street.

' Special Correspondence Sunday Post-Dispatch. UAT Katherine Messaros is wearing Tins her own nose, instead of an india- rubber nose, or a papier mache nose, oy some other makeshift of a nose, is due to the audacity and originality of the sur- geons of Buda-Pesth. For not long ago poor Katherine lay moaning in the hospital without any nose at all, while the shapely feature on which she had prided herself lay neglected in the mud of a public street. This is such an extracrdinary statement that it would be wise to tell Katherine Mes- earos’ story from the beginning. The young lady’s nese, then, was es- teemed by her friends one of the hand- gsomest objects in Buda-Pesth. Its most atriking «virtue was that it was not flat, like so many noses, but had a fine prom- inence all its own. Her mother said it was Roman, but George David pronounced it pure Grecian, and as he had traveled as far as Corinth, everybody agreed that he ought to know. George David had a special interest in ‘Miss Messaros’ nose, because it was going ‘to be his some day. That is, Miss Mes- saros was going to be his, so of course her hese was, too. They were engaged to be married. ) George was fond of boasting to his friends that there would be nothing Kalhmuk about his wife's nose. But the event showed that George did not value this exceptional nose half as fendly as he pretended to. A man jof ne small prominerce in the commercial life of Buda-Pesth, it happened that oc- leasian ‘arose for him to go away for a jshom trip. on important business. That night he and his beauteous Katherine were guests together in an important’ social function. . | "They departed from their host’s house at about midnight, and, as the night was fine, \atarted to walk toward the young lady's home, George intending to leave her at her door. as his habit was. On the way he gently broke to her the news that he was about to leave town. Katherine was intensely grieved, but, with * @® woman's perversity, she pretended to be $ndifferent. She shrugged her shoulders ‘and said “Humph!’ and other hurtful _ things in Hungarian, very similar to the remarks a St. Louis girl would. have made under like circumstances. ‘These tactice vexed the faithful George @nd also made him suspicious. . Turning to her with a flerce air, he said: “You'd better be careful, my lady!

Many young women state never lead happy married lives with the possessor of these peculijari- ties, mo matter how many good traits of body and mind atoned for them. Iivery one is familiar with the disposition to kick the stone against which one inadvertently stubbed a toe, or that which impels to kick | or slam a door against which we have hit our head in the dark. My returns abound in cases of pens angrily broken because they would Act write, clothes torn, dishes smashed, toys destroyed, Knives, shoes and books thrown and injured as a vent to anger against inanimate objccts. Violent anger against persons is often vented by the making of faces, striking, biting and various kinds of personal violence. In brawls among the lower classes noses, lips and ears are chewed, or oc- casionally bitten off, while other damage is inflicted elsewhere with the teeth as well as with the feet and hands. Many infants when angry and powerless to hurt others strike their hends against doors, posts, walls of houses and sometimes on_ the ficoor. In this gesture the head may be struck so sharply as to cause pain and crying, but more often it is pounded sevéral times with a violence which would cause weeping when in a normal condition, but during the paroxysms of rage pain does not seem to be felt. Occa- sinnally in older children headache will cause them to act thus, but this expression of anger rarely outlasts childhood, though in one strik- ing instance it persisted to manhood, causing a young man to strike his head sharply on the floor whenever his swéetheart danced with ar.other. In boyish fights butting is @ coinmon practice, and some boys at- Blows with the head are often de- forehead, being the point of contact. This is interesting, when we re- fiect on the number of horned species in the human pedigree. Why should a man hook like a cow, butt like a sheep, or hammer with his head, and that, too, when the skull is thin and elastic, and the brain so delicate an organ? Surely there is nothing in the present genera- tion to explain why such an‘experience, which undoubtedly must cause more or less shock and pain, can give satisfaction or relief in anger. \herefcre there must be some relation between these manifestations of anger and a previous existence. Sixty-eight per cent of females and 48 of males bite when. angered. Very young children, soon after the appearance of the first teeth, which are small and sharp, not only try them on all sorts of things, hut inflict painful bites with them when angered. Children vary greatly in their method of using their teeth on an enemy. Some will run up to an enemy, inflict a quick, hard bite, and retreat with mc other aggressive act. Others bite firmly and hold on with tenacity. In their fights biting often plays an important part with children. A Baltimore murderer, under sentence of death, once told me that ff he had had a little stick of wood, which he always carried in his vest pocket to bite when he Was angry, he would not have inflicted the fatal blow for which he was to dle. The expression of anger changes with age. While infants yscream, stiffen, hold the breath, strike and scratch, age almost always prings repression to these manifestations and increased control. The adult, fnatead of being impudent, becomes sarcastic; instead of dancing up ana down, may walk with heavy tread to and fro; instead of shout- ae Be DS te tae aut 4 tet ic ~ =i Set ek Hort bape iS Pr Mls Es: pegtePOC ed yep 22 RR SS os fut © > - ok Sal OF MEN. | courage, but 30 years of peace and the milk and water foreign policy of many of our administrations had imbued other governments with the idea that it would be impossible to provoke a conflict with us. This i's now changed, as a direct result of our foreign war. It is found that it is not only possible to provoke us, but that upon occasion we can lay about us most lustily. Our representatives abroad will receive more respectful attention and the rights of the traveling American will be as much respected in the futrre as they have been ignored in the past. T> keep peace at any price inay be diplomatic courage, but it is too fre- nuently taken for cowardice, and our Consu!s have sometimes suffered Insolence, It was very plainly demonstrated that Spain, though rated as a great power by many European war experts, was no match for the ti States, and the ease with which we crushed the eggshell of her pretensions was most astonishing to those who failed to realize thar the young nation of the Western Hemisphere was no longer an in- fant, but a giant in strength and resources. We now find nations seek- ing our good will as something worth having and the whole tone of the foreign press has changed for the better. This, of course, is a distinct gain and must have great bearing upon any future negotiations in which we may engage. There is no longer any suggestion by ill-in- formeJ diplomats that in the event of difficulties the North and South would once more take up arms against each other. That bugbear, which had its origin in the imagination of some so-called European Statesmen, has finally disappearcd from foreign calculation. They know now that the causes which once threatened the very existence of this Union are completely buried. Patriotism for cur country has ceimented still more firmly the bonds ef brotherhood, until there are no political boundaries. There is no North, no South, no East, no West, but just one nation. The war has ro. only brought us recognition from our neighbors, but some lessons we have learned we are now putting to good account. It was almost an impossibility to arouse Congress to a realization of our defenseless con- dition until the scare caused by the Spanish fleet. Our coast lines were nearly bare of defenses and no adequate sums could be had to improve them. This is now changed for the better and much has been accom- plish toward making us. safe from attack. Not only has it been thought necessary to defend our shore bat- teries, but the latest inventions have been applied to the wonderf#! destructive machines placed upon our floating batteries. The size of our army has been materially increased and with a grade of recruitg that were not before obtainable. I do not believe that ever again, were war declared, would we be found in so bad a plight as in the beginning of the difficulty with Spain. We had no supplies, no ammunition, no equipments; yet In spite of these conditions our show- ing in the field was such as to surprise the military men of the world. No other nation can hope to find us in the future so unprepared. In my inspections I have been well satisfied with the improvements that are in active course of construction at the forts I have just visited. But while the work has not been as rapid in@all instances as I had hoped for, yét it is being done well, and that in‘itself is gratifying. Frem time to time we have stated with wild enthusiasm the fact that we requjred no army—that no foe lived who wouwld not fall before us. We have felt safe in the impregnable armor of our conceit, and it needed, perhaps, a lesson as awful as the baptism of battle to force the knowledge of our own weakness upon us. A little taste of war has taucht us that it takes organization and tramning to win battles. We no ionger consider ourselves able to whip all creatién without the aid of ‘mproved arms. We have discarded the Springfield for the Krag- Jorgensen, our smooth-bpore cannon for modern rifled ordnanee; and in the future our armies will be as well trained and well equipped as the best. It is a great deal easier, by fortifying, to prevent the destruction of cur cities than it is to rebuild them. The causes that led up to the Spanish-American war are familiar to the whole American people. It is not for me to recount them. I can only call to mind that one of its prime factors has, since the adjust- ment with Spain, been to us a deep source of annoyance—the Cubans themselves. The reconcentrado was surely a pitiful object, and that ve took up arms in his defense is not'a matter for wonder. But we find that to sympathize with wretchedness is one thing and to remove it another. We have brought them relief from oppression, but we have found it impossible to also bring content. I do not quarrel with their longing for self-government. It is but natural they should wish to administer their own laws, and were they fit so te do we would unquestionably allow them. To withdraw now would lighten responsibility for us, but would again plunge the island into chaos. We -have undertaken responsibilities which we cannot shirk, and if in the end we fit them for self-government we have done a deed for humanity's sake which no other nation would undertake. HOW IMADE MY FIRST $100. By James Congdell Fargo, President of the American Ex- press Company. Y.

I was one of a family of 12 children. _—_ =. ~~ ll — M FOR THE . om gp wy ———E— —— the machine which will move-along briskly with hajf a dozen vans of as “rmeany bales each. Scipio's imminent danger springs from a constitutional defect—a defect that is exemplified in the fact that the whirr of wheels puts him asleep when he enters a factory. On Saturdays, in the countfy, he nods on his sack of corn as soon as the distant grist mill begins *o sing to him. And it doesn’t by any means require expensive ma- chiInery; the monotonous lullaby of a ten-dollar wagon in the August sn is inevitably effective. This constitutional defect is not curable in vne generation, and no man possessing it may be safely trusted with the helm of an automobile. An automobile with a cotton train behind and anxious to overtake the steerer on every down-grade calls for any- thing but slumber. With the mule it is different. He may be de- pended on to lie well back in his breeching and if necessary coast with everything, including his ears, thrust forward, and he will keep in the middle of the road. But the automobile is as yet neither discreet ner experienced. What is true of Scipio upon the wagon is true of him upon an improved farming implement. To those who have seen him mounted upon a wheeled harrow halted in the shade of a persimmon tree where his mules have wandered with him at 11 a. m., the whole outfit asleep, it is very apparent what will happen when plows.or disks are hung under the new motors and the colored man-with-the-hoe has been op- timistically promoted. He may learn eventually to keep awake when on Cuty; he may learn tou wandér about, cakewalk, ’possum-hunt and hypnotize poultry lees after bedtime, and so approach the new crisis with more capacity for resisting the seductive glide of rubber tires— but it will be long after the automobile idea is in full operation. Hold- ing to wabbly plow handles, with an occasional root to throw him across the row, with a pressing necezsity for supplying certain words Which are part of the Kentuckian’s hereditaments, and with the chance of walking Into a ground rattler’s siesta and yellow jacket conventions, he manages to keep in partial touch with consciousness. But put him on an automobile of a summer day, the novelty gone, and he would be down among the cogs and other old things in 20 minutes. And with, Scipio will pags out the mule. Indeed, here is a genuine tragedy outlined. Dispviaced in the South, not atractive as food, canned or otherwise, nor valuable as a friend of the family, the mule threatens to fall into innocuous desuetude along with the mammoths and retired Presidents of Refublics. There was a reasonable expecta- ticn for awhile that he might survive the rush of change as an adjunct of civilized warfare, but his stubborn persistence at Daiquiri in trying to swim back to Tampa when pushed overboard from the transports and his recent fatal elopement with all of the artillery and ammunition of two British regiments because somebody rolled a stone between b* legs, have aroused a suspicion that civilized warfare {s bad enough — him. The mule is doomed. An abler invention is to displace m. SHOULD THE DEATH PENALTY By Henry Winthrop Gray, Special Commissioner of Jurors of New York, ()° GENERAL principles it seems to me that a life sentence, with the possibility of pardon after years of imprisonment, would have a much less deterrent effect upon the mind of one contemplating crime than punishment by death. It has often heen advanced that murders have generally been committed on the sour of the moment--when the murderer has no time to think as to what the penalty may be and is not deterred by the statute pre- scribing capital punishment. The evident fallacy of this is that capital punishment is only inflicted for the crime of murder in the first degree, where premeditation is an essential element of the crime. A man can hurdly eontemplate the commission of the erime of murder without at the same time contemplating the penalty prescribed therefor. I have heard it advanced that the,death penalty is a relic of: bar- barisin and should be abolished because when once inflicted upon a man, subsequently found to be innocent, the mistake could never be rectified. This, in antithesis to economic principles, hardly stands. In the first place men are punished, not because they are actually guilty, but because the law, in the best-:interests of the many, says that when a defendant is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, he shall be punished. It is for this very reason that our law gives to a defendant the benefit of every reasonable doubt and a fair and unbiased doubt. Economically, the interest of the many should never be made subsidiary to the interest of the few. The late Chief Justice Stephen of England has been quoted as saying that it is not and never was a principle of our law that it is better that twenty guilty men escape than one innocent man be punished. If the argument, based upon the possibility of error, is to be given weight, it would seem that no conviction should be had in any case. It ig no harder for a man to give his life in the preservation of the public peace and security than in defense of it. It is a serious thing to find a man. guilty of a crime punished with death, but when once found guilty, on competent evidence, to a degree where no reasonable doubt remains, I believe that the best interests of the public are-served when. the punishment is carried out. ; NEW YORK’S BARRIER AGAINST THE PLAGUE.

At this eo period Prof. Pasteur of Paris and Prof. Koch of Berlin gave to the world indisputable evidence of the germ origin of some of the ins . fectious diseases. This was followed by great activity in on werk, end laboratories were established In all parts of the world for the purpose of investigating disease.

Some children grow o ntoward maturity with no instruction in con- ’ trolling anger, and feel that not to fight on every provocation is a sign of cowardice. These cases are rare, however, and experience soon teackes every child the necessity of some restraint. The mirror some- timer makes a sudden revelation of ugliness that is a great aid, while gepulsive and extreme exhibitions of anger in others prompt good re- golves by way of warning, as do examples of great control by emula- tion. One of the best methods of treatment is neglect. In this way the child is simply ignored or perhaps isolated as disagreeable, trouble- gome or sick, and in this way made to feel what it is to be deprived ef companionship and love and to understand that it must control its ‘temper and restrain’ its outbreaks if it would enjoy the pleasures of Nfe. Plain, straight talk is often effective, and a graphic description. of their conduct, its effects and consequences when they are adult often brings an increase of self-knowledge in a most wholesome di- rection. In some cases I believe anger should be worked off by legitimate and regulated fighting. There are certain states of mind for which ne ordinary modes of treatment are adequate, and to stand up square- ty in a give-and-take contiict, whether with fists or tongue, teaches a wholesome sense of resporsibility and also gives a hearty man-making type of courage. There is perhaps no better school of control than to face an equal in a fistic contest and know that the least loss of temper involves a wild blow, a joss of guard and a bloody nose or black eye, while victory, other things being equal, is sure to rest with him who can take a stinging blow in the face or anywhere without bring his bead and thus missing an opporunity. --— w~ - ARMY WEAKNESS REVEALED BY OUR RECENT EXPER.ENCES.

It was worth his while to be a free trader so long as the support cf the National Liberals could be cheaply bought at such a price. But when the National Liberal ma. jcrity was shattered in 1878 he had to form a new combination within the-Heichstag. The party who could best serve him now was cone scervative and protectionist. It had to be won over by protectionist concessions. These he blended with a form of socialism peculiarly hig own. lt was during this phase of his portean policy that the nation- alization of the railways was embarked on with a most business-like ap- plication of socialist doctrines. It was a gigantic undertaking, and not without riek to the financial stability of the still infant empire, But, of course, it was carried through with courage and skill, and al- ready it is more than justified by successful results.

The event occurred In Boston " Narratives of the First Religious Ex- perience of the President and the Great Evangelist. | CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 15. Epeciat Correspondence Sunday Post-Dispatch. R* AARON D. MORTON, who con- verted President William McKinley and brought him to the Methodist Church, resides in a modest-looking board- ing house in this city at 1048 Central ave- nue. This event occurred 42 years ago. The conversion was, to use a Methodist phrase, “pronounced and satisfactory,”’ and all his life since the man who is now President of the United States has been an active lay- ™man. © The Rev. Mr. Morton is 76 years old. He tells the story of McKinley's conversion with great acuracy. For several years the ‘aged minister has been retired. In 1857 Mr. Morton was the pastor of a Methodist Church at |Poland, O., where the McKinley family lived at that time. Mrs. McKinley and her daughter Anna were members of the congregation and regular attendants,. but the other members of the fasaily, including the father and William, who was then about 14 years of age, were not. The revival was held in the spring, an4 one night toward the end of the week Wil- liam McKinley attended. He was not no- ticed until? he expressed his conversion, when he made such an impression on the minister that the latter watched his course in after life and noted with satisfaction that the convert was not a backslider. Con- cerning the Case, Mr. Morton said: “Young McKinley’s admission to the church made such a vivid impression on my mind that I will never forget it. He bad been a frequent attendant at the Sun- day services and was an earnest listener. On the evening McKinley ‘got up’ I had been exhorting all my hearers to repent of théir sins and seek salvation of their souls. ‘“‘After the preaching we had prayer meet- ing and young McKinley arose in his seat. He was about 14 years old at the time, and - @ more dramatic figure of an earnest boy f never saw. Standing erect with bowed sald: “‘T am determined to be a Christian. T believe that God is the greatest and best being of the univerge and I am determined I believe religion is the best thing In the world and I am going to seek it with all my heart until I firia It.’ “There was nothing affected in the boy’s manner, but his quiet, earnest Manner a‘- tracted the attention of everybody in the church. The boy at that time Was a stu- Went at the Poland Institute, and the stand. he took for religién had a great amount of finfluenre with the younger people. “after voung McKinley's declafation he was received into the church on proba- tion. During the seven or eight months of hat period he. was carefully watched by ma He-frequently led the young people's meetings In. the church, “When his period of probation ended he toak issue with the older members of his family, regarding his baptism.. The church gives converts ‘thelr choice of sprinkling, pouring or immersing. I always heki that sprinkling was sufficient, but young Mc- Kinlev wanted to be immersed. “The place chosen was in a stream that flowed near the church and which emptied into the Mahoning River. There had been a freshet the day before and the current was swift. I remember taking into the Water one young woman and going out s0 far that the current aknost swept up down. “Tt do not remember anything remark- able about McKinley's immersion. When I pushed him under the water, allowing it to flow over him, he kept his mouth shut and came up al Iiright. “After ho had been received into full membership in the church he was a regular a‘tendant and became a teacher in the Sun. day-echoo!, “After te had removed to Canton he was elected superintendent of the Sunday-school of the First Methodist Church. Later he was clected a steward and then a trustee,’’ . -——_—— i“ VARD KIMBALL Is the man who brought about the conversion of Dwight L. Moody, the great evange- all stories to the contrary notwith- 45 years ago. Mr. Kimball, whose home stems to be anywhere from Bath, Me., to ' ‘the Golden Gate, is the champion church debt raiser of the United States. In it is estimated, he has cleared 60 churches of delits aggregating $16,000,000. Mr. Kimball ts now nearly 70 years old. Like Mr. Movody, most of hig life haa been head, but Jooking every one in the face, he ' job, His Uncle Samuel 4id not offer him a place. Dwight, when asked how he thought he could get a start, said he wanted work and he guessed he could find a position. After days of efforts and meeting nothing but failures the boy grew discouraged with Boston and told his uncle Lemuel he was - by > going to New York. The uncle strongly ad- vised Dwight not to go, but to speak to his Uncie Samuel again about the matter. The boy demurred, saying his Uncle Samuel JAknew perfectly well what he wanted. But the uncle insisted so that a second time the boy asked his nels Samuel for a place in his store. = * ‘Dwight, I am afraid, if you. come in here, you will want to run the store your- self,’ said Mr. Holton. ‘Now, my men here want to do their work ae I want it done. If you want to.come in here and do the best you can and do it right, and if you'll ask mé when you ' don’t know how to do anything, or if I’m not here ask the book- keeper, and if he’s not here ask one of tie salesmen. or one of the boys, and if you are willing to go to church and Sunday school when you are able to go anywhere on Sun- days, and if you are willing not to go-any- where at night or any other time which you wouldn’t went me or your mother to know about, why, then, if you'll promise ail these things you may come and take hold, and we'll see how we can get along. You can have till Monday to think it over.’ “ "I don't want till Monday,’’ said Dwight; ‘T’ll promise row.’ And young Moody be- gan work ‘n Ais uncle’s shoe store. “A remark the boy's uncle made to me afterward will give an idea of the young man’s lack of education at this time. The uncie said that when Dwight read his Bible out loud he cculdn’t make anything more out of it than he could out of the chatter- ing of a lot of blackbirds. Many of the words were so far beyond the boy thai he left them out entirely when he read and the majority of the others he mangled fearfully. The young man came on Sunday to the old Mount Vernon Church to Sunday 6chool. He told Superintendent Paimer who he was and asked to be placed in a class. The superintendent brought Dwight to the clase I was teaching and he took his seat among the other boys. I handed him a closed Bible and told him the lesson was in John, The boy took the book and began running over the leaves away at the first of the volume looking for John. Out of the corners of their eyes the boys saw what he was doing and detecting his ignorance glanced ehyiy and knowingly at one anoth- * er, not rudely of course, you understand. I gave the boys just one hasty glance of re- proof. That was enough, thefr equanimity was restored immediately. I quietly hand- ed Moody my own book open at the right place and took his. I didn’t suppose the boy could possibly have noticed the glances ex- changed between the other boys over his ignorance, but it seems from remarks made ee ot , Fae sqremmupesdnane ES AP * ¥ Pie a Msc ao perigw = IN whek ake, Kee t Ab a eadh DIRS RL Bot aiat IM De a A ve waco a Ra 5 A td DR ar.

When I was nearly there I began to wonder whetner I ought to go just then during business hours. TI thought maybe my mission might so embarrase the boy that when I vent away the other clerks m’ght ask who I was and when they learned migat taunt Moody and ask if I was trying to make a good boy out of him. While I was pondering over it all 1 passed the store without noticing It. Then when I found that I had gone by the door I deter- m'ned to make a dash for it and have it over at once. I found Moody in the back part of the store wrapping up shoes in paper and putting them on sheives. I went up to him and put my hand on his shoulder, and as I leaned over I put my foot upon a shoe box. I feel that I made a very weak plea for Christ. I dor'’t know just what words [I used nor can Mr. Moody tell. 1} éimpty told him of Christ’s love for him and the love Christ wanted in returh. That was all there was to it. It seemed the young man was just ready for "the > light that then broke Ake _ HS- upon him and there in the back pari of that store in Boston the future great evangeiist gave himself ard his life to Christ.’’ Mr. Kimball also referred to the stories of alleged efforts by the church authorities to repress Mr. Moody in the early days and pervent him from speaking and praying so much. These stories like all of the others alluded to are without the least foundation whatever ard one preacher once told Mr. Moody that whatever the Lord may have intended him to do it was not to preach. That minister apologized many, many years ago. Mr. Kimball also told of one of the most affecting episodes in Mr. Moody’s life. Mr. Moody's mother for many years never sanctioned her son's choice of the pulpit as his life work. She was a member of a non- evangelical church, but it would seem from the story that her conversion was left to be accomplished through her son. AThe mother never even heard her son preach until long years after he was world renowned. In 1875 he returned to Northfleid to preach shortly after coming back to America from one of his great London successes. The family still lived on the old farm and drove to town to Sunday meeting just as they used to do years before. Most of the members of the family were going to drive to town that morning to hear Dwight. The mother startled the daughter by saying: “t don't Owes His First sea Suppose there would be room in the wagon for me this morning.” No one had thought of the mother unbending and going to hear Dwight. “Of course there'll be room, mother,”’ said the daughter, and the mother was taken down to church with the rest. Mr. Moody preached from the fifty-first MY 2 ve KVP UZ SAA. Psalm, with a fervor that was probably mostly inspired by the presence of his mother. When those who wished prayer were asked to arise old seis Moody stood up. “The son was ecangusiay overcome. Turn- ing to B. F. Jacobs, the great Sunday-school worker, now a resident of Chicago, he said: “You pray, Jacobs. I can’t!’ | John Philip Sousa. The woman herself modestly conceals it, but Sousa pro- claims it everywhere. The woman is Miss Hannah Harris, manager of the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, it happened in this way. Gilmore for years had played an annual engagement in Philudelphia under Miss Harris’ manage- ment. But Gilmore was ill and unable to fill out his schedule. The little manager wax worried, for brass bands had always been a popular feature, and she was afraid that the lack of one-.would irritate and dis- please her patrons. She had heard Sousa play in the White House gardens and liked the swing and dash of his music. People in Washington’ were flocking to hear him and going away delighted, But was this Marine Band strong enough for the huge academy in Philadelphia? She decided to risk it. Sousa himself was a little timid. T WAS a woman who “discovered’’ He had never played in concert. he resolved to try. Philadeiphia went mad over Harris saw that she had played 3 card.

If this rate keeps up, and it will not only keep up but grow greater each year, there will soon be an end of the heroes of ’61. The 1890 death rate is not included in the table. But the report of Adjutant-General Thomas J. Stewart shows that the mem- beship dwindled from 305,608 in 1898 to 257,- $1 in 1899, giving a net loss of 17,622. or a percentage of 5.7, a most appalling jump from the 2.41 per cent of 1898.

Even those who have attended these yearly encampments and have become ac- customed to this fading away will be sur- prised, even shocked, when the report of the Adjutant-General of the national or- ganization for 1899 is issued.

This has been decided to the satiafaétion of Lectures Pour Veus, a Parisian popular paper, as the result of a careful canvass of many towns. These. are the claims of Gex: It is at the foot of Jura; has lovely views of Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva. It is healthy. ! It is so rich in communal @rewood that it suppiies all that each family wants free of charge. It is in the neutral gone, where no cus- toms duties are charged.

H., St. Louts.—The ordinary way ts to buy 5 cents’ worth of salts of tartar. Take about half the amount usually given for that sum and dissolve it in a pint of hot water. Rub well Into the scalp ana rinee thoroughly. Salts of tartar is very Crying and I think the soap shampov for which I give the following fomuia more satisfactory: Melt a cake of pure olive @1 soap in a quart of boiling watcr. When the soup is dissolved the result will be almost a je.ly. Take of this jelly, say, two large tablespoonfuls, and a senall lump of com- mon Washing soda about the size of a filbert. First: wet the hair thoroughiv with hot warer, then rub the shampoo mixture Well into the-roots. Rinse thoroughly in several waters. Then carefu.ly dry. Premature Gray Hair. ALICE MAY.—I think the jaborani! tonic is what you require. I have received letters from several correspondents who in- nist that this tonic wi!l arrest the progress of the gray hairs. I can not vouch that it will do this, but, I am sure that it is a It is | Sulphate of quinine, 40 grains; ' very excellont tonic for falling haglr. made thus: tincture of nux vomica, 2 drams; tincture of capsicum, 1 dram, fluid extract of jaboran- ci, 4 drams; spirits of rogamary, 1 ounce; g-ycerine, 4 drams; rosewater, 8 oilnces. To Make Teeth White. VU. & M, Vicksburg, Miss.—Get a bottle of hydrozone, dilyte tt according to direc- tions and use it for whitening the teeth. The hydrozone ts a harmless bleach and will arrest and prevent decay. Epsom Salts for the Face. ANXIOUS.—If the Epsom salts and rainwater agree with ycur skin there is no reason why you shuuld not use them. Henna leaves are prepared by Turkish women as a paste, but in this country the application is made in a Hquid form. The leaves are steeped just as one would steep tea. ‘ Scalp Massage Required. MRS. W. T.—If you can secure scalp mas- sage I think you should have it. As sdon as circulation is restored to the scalp the hair will stop falling out. In the mean time use this tonic also: .Cologne, 8 oz.; tihcture of cantharides, 1 oz.; spirits of camphor, 1 oz. Apply to the roots of the huir once a day. Relief for Offensive Breath. CONSTANT READER.—Do not be dis- couraged. I will give you a formulae for an antiseptic mouth-wash which will give you temporary relief. But if I were in your piace I would first of all make certain that the teeth are in perfect condition. A decayed tooth is fatal to a sweet breath. Cpr will alsa affect the breath most disas- trously. | Antiseptic mouth-wash formula: Spirits of peppermint, 160 grams; phenic acid (in crystals), 20 grams; dissolve the acid in the spirits of peppermint; several! drops of the mixture should be poured into half a wineglass of water; rinse the mouth thoroughly several times a day. To Regain Lost Curves. HOPE, Denver, Colo.—There is no special treatment which can be guaranteed to bring the bust back to its original firmness. The loss of the roundness of the figure usually follows maternity. Massage with a good skin food and elec- tricity will do more than any other treat- ment. 20) _, Miss ALVINAFISCH 1704 SoutH 129 « ¢) AS 4 ma = i ee $ Fes 5. es et j Miss DoRA.

Ostertag of St. Louis.’ SHAT a perfect sense of hearing, next to good eyesight, is the most valu- able of our physical senses no one among the laity as well as among physi- -olans, I will, in the following, try to show how it would be possible to preserve this sense in good condition from infancy up to old age. (ag The reason why there is so much impaired hearing among children as well as among _ adults, is that there is not enough attention paid to the disturbances in the early stages of ear affections. Were this different, near- Ty all people would preserve good hearing ' ©@ven up to advanced age. _ ‘There ts not another organ in the body - With as fine and wonderful a construction, ~ Hot even the eye excepted, as the ear, For this reason it is the best protected part in _ the body, for the inner ear, which contains the special organism-of hearing, is situated “In the strongest bone of the skull, the pe- -trous portion of the temporal bone; it Is “by this arrangement so well protected against injury that nothing but an extreme - external force will injure it. ' The designation impaired hearing or deafness ix not a unit; it is divisible into ' three distinct and very different condi- ' tions: The first is, in its beginning, an evanescent condition, commonly called a -- fold in the head, to which, as a rule, no ‘attention is pais, and which in most jn- stances passes off by itself after a week or so; the second is an inflammation of the tympanic cavity, generally attended with high fever, severe pain and great prostration; the third condijtion is an af- fection of the labyrinth, or the hearing nerve proper, which may be primary as a nervous affection or secondary to the af- fection of the catarrhal and inflammatory types, This last affection, which primarily is met especially ,2mong ladies who are naturally of a nervous disposition and which is not usually the form to which men are subject, is the most serious va- riety of incurable deafness; it is well known that the Princess of Wales is af- flicted with this form, as the nervous ap- paratus of her labyrinth must have be- come diseased in some way. In infancy and childhood the most fre- quent forms are the catarrhal and in- flammatory; but as the first does not show any serious symptoms and in the second the children are mostly prostrated by a severe malady that for itself de- mands great care, the ear trouble is not considered important enough to give it special treatment. These cases which are neglected partly from ignorance of their importance, partly from a mistaken pity with the child that evidently has already enough to suffer from its main disease, are often very destruc- tive to the ear and may even endanger the life of the individual. These dangerous inflamatory cases are most frequently the companions of the acute infectious diseases, as measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, in- filuenza, pneumonia, meningitis and typhoid fever, but may also occur from external causes as the impact of a foreign body and its attenzpted removal by an unskillful ma- Dipulation or the entrance of a few drops of water during bathing, etc. This lat- ter accident, it was not easy to compre- hend until it was learned that many other- wise healthy ears have very small fissures in the tympanum that allow the entrance of smail quantities of liquid; mreover, there is not another membrane in the whole body that is so sensitive to even the slight- est irritation as the healthy membrane of the tympanic gavity, as the mere contact with water may: excite inflammation, en- dangering the life of the individual. In the ear affections are intelligently treat- ed at this early stage the hearing power Is almost sure to be preserved intact, but if neglected they are the great source of that innumerable class of patients who have small or large perforations of the tym- panum resp, running at one or both ears constantly or intermittingly during their lifetime, with, of course, a corresponding degree of loss of hearing. Still this is not the worst, but the life of*any person with more or less discharge from one or both ears is in constant peril of an acute ex- acerbation, ending in fatal inflammation of the brain. Moreover, such a person, hav- ing the hearing destroyed only on one side, is much more liable to lose the residue with advancing yearse—a calamity which may rob his or hér life of many of its advan- tages and enjoyments. The other variety, the catarrhal deaf- ness in its chronic form, usually connected with some nose or throat trouble, is also very frequent, and is especially a preroga- tive of adult men who have been, from necessity, much exposed to all the vicissi- tudes of the weather, are devoted to a more or less liberal use of tobacco and alcohol and can never prevail upon them- selves to take proper care of their ears, even if some temporary deafness or some fugitive pain makes them conscious that there is something wfong with them. If this class of patients would take a warn- ing in time and submit to efficient treat- ment as often as their hearing is impaired, they might preserve this faculty well up toa old age; left to themselves, these case6 go invariably on from bad to worse and generally end in nearly total deafness, or at least in such hard hearing that they are a burden to themselves. in constant danger when on the streets of a noisy city and an annoyance to their home, because of the necessity of addressing them in a loud voice. The third variety where the nervous ap- paratus of the labyrinth itself is affected is the saddest, and, until recently, the most hopeless of all. As above stated, it is the prerogative of ladies of a very nervous temperament, especially Hable to follow some former nervous affliction, as neural- gia, mental emotions, the anxiety en- gendered by nursing and night watching in cases of severe sickness of family mem- bers, sometimes even pregnancy and many other forms of nervous prostration, com- bined with pronounced blood poverty. This variety is especially accompanied with con- stant distressing noises in the ear which are often more intolerable to the patient than the loss of hearing itself, but even these unfortunates may be, by the present ad- vanees of acience, much comforted if they only have the will power to supmit to a course of enlightened treatment. MIND READING TRICKS EXPOSED. “There is no such thing as mind-reading.” —Dietrich Neuman. By Ditrich Neuman. oS HERE is no such thing as mind read- f ing. It is all pretense. The great oe mind readers, so called, were all » tricksters. The feat most common in mind ' feading is finding articles hidden by the @ubject, or picked out mentally by him. This is muscle reading. The operator takes the subject's hand and makes a series of quick movements in different directions. The subject will move freely in the right direction and with reluctance in the wrong direction. Moreover he will keep his eyes fixed on point near the hidden object. When the immediate neighborhood is reached the operator thrusts his free hand here and there, keeping a light hold upon the hand of the subject until Me be trays his thought.

With one of his friends he was _ in one room, _ Were sliding doors between and I placed > my forehead against them. I woked up ' ™y bandage and got my eye near a crack fm the door. He was to think of a number between ‘Zand 100. I called the numbers slowly. — I reached 16 there was a muscular contraction in the professor's body. I tried itagain and gavé my answer. One of Irving Bishop’s tricks was to drive a pair of horses from end to end of a city, while blindfolded, and then to find an ar- ticle previously buried. I did the same feat without contact, but stipulated that the subject should think of the street num- ber nearest the hiding place. In one feat the operator’s assistant pro- duces a number of cards colored red and black. He has hie back to the audience, his eyes covered. The assistant holds up the objects one by one and the operator calls out their colors—‘‘Red, red, black, red. black, black.”” The slight scraping noise made in lifting each red object is not no- ticed except by the operator. In another test the operator produces sev- eral slips of paper about an inch square, and asks a member of the audience to write a word or two on each. Perhaps the sub- ject may write on four squares of paper the words ‘“‘Deviled lobster,’’ “Pate de fol gras,”’ “Charlotte russe,’’ ‘“‘Pousse cafe.” He folds them up and the assistant hands them to the operator on a silver salver. The operator rolls them up and panee them back. “Now,” he eays, “fix your mind strong- ly upon the words written upon the pa- pers.’’ While talking he presses his palms to his forehead and presently reads out the names, The explanation of this is easy. There were two sets of papere. Those held in the subject’s hands were blank. The oper- ator held the others all the time, and as his hands were pressed over his forehead and brows he deftly unrolled each slip and read the words on it. Perhaps the operator calle out: “I see a lady in chair 4A parquet. She its un- happy. Her brother is lost. She has not heard from him for two years, He left home after an unhappy difference in the family. He was in San Francisco last week. I think he is there now. He is living not far from St. Mary's Hospital.’’ The information was gathered by de- tectives. Every prosperous mind reader employes these men. A favorite trick is begun by the operator locking herself In a room while some man does three things. The assistant produces a fountain pen, pushes the cap on the end and hands it to come man, who writes: “What thave I been doing?’ Some other man carries the pen and pad to the operator, with the answer: “Mr. Blank set his watch at 9:10, threw three sixes and a pair of fives and select- ed the king of diamonds from a deck of cards.”’ The assistant thhad learned to write in his pecket, and in this manner wrote on a Slip of paper, ‘9-10, 3-6, 2-5, K. D.”’ This he pushed into the cap of the fountain pen, But the trick most successfully used by mind readers is the envelope trick. The operator has a confederate in the audience, and gives an envelope containing a ques- tion, for instance, ‘“‘When shall I see my mother again?” At the proper time the assistant dis- tributes about one hundred other envelopes, each containing a slip of paper, and each person is asked to write something on it, place it in the envelape and seal it. The assistant brings them all to the stage. The one given by the confederate is placed at the bottom. The operator picks up the top envelope, presses it to his forehad and calls out, “The slip of paper in this envelope con- tains the words, ‘When shall I see my mother again?’ Am I right?’’ ‘‘Yes,” shouts the confederate, up. ‘“That’s mine. TI wrote it.’’ “T'll tear it open and make sure,” says the operator. He does so and sees the words, “What did I have for dinner last Thursday?’ for, of course, the confederate’s envelope has not been opened. Then he takes up tthe second envelope, presses it to his forehead and shouts out, “This envelope contains the words, ‘What did I have for dinner Thursday?’ ”’ The most remarkable mind-reading feat is the one by which an operator telis the subject to set hie mind upon any object in the room and then gives the name a the object, without pausing for an instan That is done simply by quickness of vision, The subject must be ordered quick- ly to make his selection and must do so quickly. The operator can follow the sub- ject’s line of vision so closely that he knows each object he thinks of. subject makes his selection he winks. This, as well as the other things I have mentioned, can be learned by anybody who jumping Presently it is returned ' great mountainous IMYSTERIES OF THE SEA. —_— —o———_ Some of the Wonders Discovered by Scientists at Great Dépths. HE mysteries of the deep seas are coming .to light. Scientists have measured the mountains of the ocean bed and their lead lines have pene- trated into valleys so deep that the sun's rays are lost miles above their bottom. Some of these are more than 30,000 feet below the surface. If the highest moun- tain in the world were set at the bottom its summit would be nearly half a mile under water. A rope long enough to sound their remote depths would reach from the Mississippi River into St. Louis County, In these valleys there are no plants, weeds or vegetation of any kind, because such forms of life need light, and at these depths there is total darkness. But animal life flourishes. Many of these deep-sea ani- mals are gigantic. These animals are ali, or nearly all, without eyes. Most of them eat mud and slime, but there are otners who seek living prey, find it by means ot great feelers and then grasp and kill it with long tentacles, It is strange that in these dark and freez- ing abysses vast quantites of vegetable mat- ter are found that during their lives were bathed in tropical sunlight and in water 80 degrees a@bove zero. These deposits lie side by side with other organisms which passed al] their lives in darkness, and at u temperature near to the freezing point. The vegetable organisms were originally ab- sorbed by plants and animals on the earth's surface or in the shallow waters, and it is estimated that three-fourths of the deposits now covering the bottom of the ocean have at some time passed through the alimen- tary canals of marine animals. The geography of the sea—‘oceanogra- phy” it is calied, began with the laying of the ocean cables and was elevated into a , branch of science by the cruise of the Chal- As the | lenger. Since then it has been found that there are 43 great deep-sea valleys. The Pacific Ocean, like the Pacific slope, is the region of the water possesses an eagle eye, a quick brain, @|world; there are 24 vast valleys concealed dexterous hand, delicately wrought nerves, JUDGE JOF ets HARLES S. JOHNSON, United States ( Circuit Judge for the District of a # Alaska, has a larger circuit to cover - than any Jucee im the world. His territory embraces 577,66 square miles, a little more than ten times the area of Illinois. The Judge has just returned to Sitka from @ little official trip of 6800 miles, during Which he transacted a considerable amount He was gone a little More than two months. Judge Johnson is the eighth man to hold this office. He was appointed by President IMeKinley in August, 1897. His salary is $200 a year, with an official residence at Sitka, the capital of Alaska. The law provides for the holding of court on the first Monday in May of each year Qt Sitka, the first: Monday in Nevember at Port Wrangel, and also at such other times and places as the Judge may designate. os Court was held in 1898 at Sitka, Juneau ’ nd Skagway, but in 1899, with the Increased Population and property interests growing - @ut of the development of the gold fields, the Judge was compelled to increase the Mumber cf places and extend the circuit @ccordingly. Without any definite knowl- @@ge of what this Increase and extension - ight mean, Judge Johnson, accompanied & United States Marshal Shoup, Assistant ct Attorney Daly, and Clerk Elliot, eet out from Sitka, on July 16, on his judi- lal travels, going toward the Yukon coun- ‘try by way of Juneau and Skagway. The . Party left Skagway on July ® over the ite Pass railway to Lake Bennett, where Mrancter was made to the water. At White Horse Rapids, 113 miles, the party went to earth again to walk around a portage of five miles. Again they took to water, and et Five Finger Rapids, 128 miles farther on, ‘thelr boat was wrecked on the rocks, and ‘they waited two or three days for another. hey reached Daweon, 22 miles, in safety. . . There the Judge was compelicd to go into Cnt oda to walt for a steamer to take him He also perienced opher disadvantages of living in - A Mew country, The railroad fare for forty- Hye miles was $15, Wiver transportation $75 spe aR Bate, and living In Dawson was h elgars at & cents graces Oe ee ee ee eee Pen OUNS After leaving Dawson the fist stop was made at Eagle City where several citizens were naturalized and a United States com- missioner and a Deputy United States mar- sha) were appointed. The boat was held one day at: Bagle City for the transaction of the court’s business and then went on to Circle City, so called because it is under the artic circle. It is thte most northerly point in the United States where a court is held, if not in the whole world. Certainly there is no point 80 far north where a court of equal jurisdiction and dignity as a United States District Corvrt is held. Here the court remained eight days and here was convened the first grand jury ever held in the Yukon country. A number of indictments were found, but all cases were continued until July of next year, as witnesses were mining in inacces- sible places, the lawyers were not ready, and winter was approaching. Ordinarily the approach of winter does not Interfere with holding a court, but in this instance winter meuns seven or eight months of absolute exclusion from the out- side world or a trip of 1200 to 1600 miles on foot or in a dog sled over the ice and snow im a temperature of anything from 30 to 60 degreeg below zero. (Most of the cases presented by the grand jury were for assault and were all pen!- tentiary.cases. The prisoners will be held until July, 1900, in a log jail which is a rude and uncomfortable structure, and so insecure that, if, being a fugitive from jus- tice in the wilds of Alaska were not a great deal worse and more dangerous than being held a prisoner on any charge what- ever, those confined there would get out on very short notice. The continuance of criminal cases for an entire year may seem to be a hardship and may really be so, considering the possibill- ties of innocence and the diécomforts of jail accommodations, but the expense of getting prisoners to Gitka and the difficulty of se- curing Witnesses make any other plan im- possible. A witness is allowed §2 a day and 10 cents a mile, but the trip in and out requires six months of time and the ex- ieee oe ncnaet fas wetness: | *. — witnesses ; | d0Q0-MILE CIRCUIT. and officials will not demand it of them under the circumstances. The matter re- solves into a question of hardship between the innocent and the presumably guilty, and the innocent get the benefit, as should be. At Fort Rawlins and Anvic stops were made long enough to appoint commissioners and deputy marshals and the court pro- ceeded to St. Michael's, at or near the mouth of the Yukon River. Here no*court was heli, but the second and last Coroner's case came before the Judge. This was for $656, and represented an outlay for two months’ search through the frozen interior, with Indians and dogs, for a body. The body was found and an inquest was held, but the Judge did not consider that the Coroner was justified in the outlay, and he was allowed only the legal $. From St. Michael's the court went over to Cape Nome and Anvil City and remained for eight days. Here twenty-two suits, in- voiving tities to property worth in neighborhood of $10,000,000 was brought and were continued untif next year, owing to lack of time to get them at issue. Nearly all the best properties at Anvil City ané Cape Nome are in litigation, and the titles must be settled by the court. Karluk was not.reached owing to the storm and earthquake of September 10 and 18, which drove the McCulloch out to sea and heid her up for 37 hours. She finally reached Kodiak, the prettiest town in Alaska. Here a launch Was sent 2% miles to the [sland of Afarquiak for a dozen or more men who wanted to be naturalized when ‘the court came. Valdes, another piace calling for the sery- ices of the Judge, had to be passed, owing to fogs and bad weather, and Yakitat was the next place made. The people there, chiefly Indians, were so frightened by the comtinued earthquake shocks, which begun a week or ten days’ earlier, that no busi- mess was done, Sitka, the last point, was made 48 hours later, after beating about a fog-laden, un-~ lighted, unmarked, rock-bound entrance to the injland passage for 2 hours, and Judge Johnson was once more at his headquarters after two months of time and about 5000 ' have / via.;: beneath it. According to a paper read by Sir John Murray before the British Association the area occupied by these deeps is estimated at 7,152,000 geographical square miles, or about 7 per cent of the water surface of the globe. Within them over 250 soundings been recorded, of which 2% exceed 24,000 feet, including three exceeding 90,000 feet. Depths exceeding 24,000 feet have been recorded within eight of the deeps, in the North Atlantic within the Nares deep, in the Antarctic within the Ross deep, in the Banda Sea within the Weber deep, in the North Pacific within the Challenger, Tuscarora and Supau deeps, and !n the South Pacific within the Aldrich and Rich- ards deeps. Depths exceeding 30,000 feet have been hitherto recerded only within the Aldrich deep of the South Pacific, to the east of the Kermadecs and Friendly Is- lands, where the greatest depth Is 6155 fathoms, er 630 feet more than five geo- graphical miles, being about 2000 feet more below the level of the sea than the summit of Mount Everest, In the Himalayas, is above it. It is estimated that 92 per cent of the sea floor has a temperature lower than # the - degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature at the floor of the Indian Ocean is under 35 degrees. A similar temperature occurs over a large part of the South Atlantic and certaing parts of the Pacific, but at the | bottom of the North Atlantic basin, and over a large portion of the Pacific, the tem. perature is higher than 35 gdegrees.

H STREET, hig: +4 Calif. Idaho, Mont., Nev.,N. Mex., Ore., Utah, Wash., Wyo., HE statement made by Dr. T. D. 7: Crothers of Hartford, Conn., before the New York State Medical Asso- chation that 21 per cent of the physicians of this country use morphine, whisky, co- caine or similar drugs, has elicited con- siderable comment among physicians, Some of these comments furnish the strongest possible corroboration of Dr. Crothers’ as- sertion, while attempting to deny it. It may astonish some physicians,.to learn that throughout Missouri, Arkansas and neighboring States the known and acknow!l- edged percentage of physicians who are ad- dicted is 5 to 6 per cent, and if those -~who do not acknowledge the habit were taken into consideration I do not know where the percentage would stop. I cannot, through an ethical sense, quote statistics or mention work in this connec- tion, but if Dr. Carpenter will call at my office I shall undoubtedly convince him of some most startling facts. The trouble comes from physicians knowing the physio- logical qualities of narcotics without con- sidering the pathological conditions prvu- duced by them. If they did, neither would they use them, mor fail to cure the ones addicted. A man may take 100 doses of morphine in an unlimited time without be- coming its victim, but né man can tako 100 doses at the rate of three or four a day without falling. If he thinks to the contrary, let him try to stop it for #4 hours and Mé will find am intoleraole aching in the limbs, back and stomach, Then a stage of. semi-insanity shortly accompanies the pains, with an insatiable nervous thirst for —something. Can he voluntarily stop it? Ask the *victim and his answer will awaken all your senses. Watch the cocaine fiend in all his tremors and hideous visions—can he stop it? Note his answer. Ask them all how they became addicts. Mark down fession will not grieve. It is a lamentable fact with such a siren and enemy in our midst the unfortunate victims have to have recourse to various institutions for cure. That, in tself, dem- opstrates the general ignorance of physi- clans tn this matter. I consider Dr. Crothers’ statement a con- servative one, as he clans. His figures may be correct as to the Eastern States, where Puritan training leavens the lump of humanity, but they fall far short of the roark in the Western and Southern States, where general conditions are more changed, I once heard a prominent Western phy- sician of wide experience in such matters say that 60 per cent of.the physicians of this acquaintance were slaves to drugs alone, not to mention intoxicating liquors; and my experience tends to fully contum nis estimate in some localities. It would rather astonish the geutieman whe protested so much in the interview 4 have quoted to know that there are to- day eight physicians in one private hos- pital in“St. Louis alone under treatment for the drug habit, as it is called. The truth is that. the excessive use of drugs is steadily and rapidly increasing, not only among physicians, but with the publig generally; and it will not do for physicians at least to protest innocence or ignorance of the facts. ‘Tis true, ‘tis pity, and pity ‘tis “tis true.” The causes of the vail are not hard to find. Dr. J. Leland Boogher statod some ot ‘them very clearly the other day when he eald “The opiate brings the relief se often needed by professional men and #- ables him to perform duties he cou” scarce- ly do without their aid.” These conditions are greatly inteasified in the case of the country physician in good practice, who has to ride day and night in all kinds of weather, with the know.,odge weighing him down that he is the sole de- pendence of anxious a.gi helpless sufferers, and that if he breaks down there will be no other physician within reach to take his In the case of the public thejalarming growth im the use of morphine, cocaine and other drugs is due in large pgrt to the change which has taken place in the puhite mind in regard to what might be called the philosophy of pain. In former days people Were taught that pain, like acdver- their answers and see if the medical pro-. r The DO PHYSICIANS USE DRUGS? By Dr. H. R.‘Barton of St. Louis. and body, the popular idea is that pain is an unnecessary,. if not an unmixed, evil, and the sufferer demands immediate relief; and that physician is accounted most skill- ful who gives it quickest. regardless of ultimate consequences. Under such pres- sure it is no wonder that physicians, as a class,.are becoming more and more reapy; § with the hypodermic syringe, and conge- quently that an ever Increasing nuinber of sufferers from chronic or lingering mala- dies find themselves at last the helpiess victims of the drug habit. The word “habit” gives us the key to the situation. If people, particularly phy- Siclans, knew that the extessive usé of stimulants, drugs, alcohol end the Nke waa not a habit at all, but a well-defined dis- ease, that knowledga would be a great step forward in medical lore; and if physicians generally were aware that such diseases can be absolutely cured, safely, quickly and painlessly, it would be a great boon for suffering humanity. It is astonishing how many physicians -speak of the us2 of drugs as a habit, and more or less contemptuously tell the poor victim that the discontinvance of the “hab- it’ és simply a matter of will power—that the way to quit is to quit. Such is the intolerance of ignorance. The patient tries to quit, fails, grows desperate with morti- fled pride and either loses his self-respect and sinks into the depths of degradation or else destroys the life which he cannot rescue from the slavery of the drug. Most physicians are ignorar{ of the fact that mo human being was ever able, of his own will power, to stop the use of mor- phine, cocaine and such drugs after it had become firmly fixed upon him. To demonstrate the general*ignorance of M. D.'s in narcotics, not one ih 10 believes that the habit (morphine) is a curable dis- ease except by a substitution and gradual reduction, which is no cure at all.

It is easier to guide a boy than to drive him, It is natural for a boy to want to play tricks on older people, and the father that can let the boys have fun with him, and who can laugh at their jokes and not get mad, has endeared him- self to them and can do anything with them. The laughing, good-natured father who never goes back on the boys is hunted up by them when they are happy, but the father who is like a grizzly bear, always smMarling, and, if he hugs; hugs to hurt, is shunned and disliked.

One morn the Roly Polys woke to find that in the night The snow had come and dressed the ground in pure and sparkling white, So up they rose and donned their clothes, the merry little host, And started out to find a hiil where they could swiftly coast. A half a mile from town they found an incline steep and straight. “Oho,” said Papa Roly; “here’s a chance to cut a gait! Let’s polish up our runners and muffle hands and face. And won't we show the natives how the Roly Polys racé!” The sleds, a great big heavy one and two wee, tiny craft, Were taken from the stable, while the Roly Polys laughed. Anticipating lots of fun upon the crispy snow, And chaffing one another on which should swiftest go. Across the fields the jolly crowd ran, cheering all the way. The hill was reached, its top was climbed, with spirits bright and gay, While “Clear the hilla, every one!” the Roly Polys erled. With Rosy at the head of it, and Me straight up, And Mamma, Bun and Papa, there was no room the Pup, Se, he secured a little sled, and, proud as he could be, Upon a coast all, all alone, adown the hill went ué. But some one head. away, again, — And down the great big crowded sled rushed madly on its ride, Then Grin and Rob thre had to coast, and so they got a sled, wball which hit Urin upon the Young Him was the policeman, and he chased the rogue So all the merry coasters) had no trouble all the day. Now down the hill like lightning rushed the sleds time, time And up again and down again till nightfall came, and then They all trooped home to tea and bed, and all tha: they could Was: “Why, we had a bully time! We'll go again next day!” — obliged to you. You know you could send it in a letter. Papa said I should tell you to have the war with Spain, which we all think very funny. LOLETA ISABELLA FOWLE, No. 68 Beach street, Hast Orange, N. J., aged ten years five months. Dear Loleta—As the Spanish war is over and we are all trying to forget and forgive, don’t you think we had better give the Roly Polys some new adven- tures. At the Horse Show.
