It was a certificate signed by Dr. Jchnson, of the City Dispen- sary staff. that Mrs. Bamberger was suffer- ing serlously from erysipelas and was totally unfit to be in. court. ircuit Attorney Eggers, who is conduct- ing the prosecution of the Chouteau avenue midwife, while willing to accept the physi- . Clan's certificate, was much desirous to pro- ceed with the Bamberger case in some one of its forms, and he asked Judge Fisher for rmission to go on with the ctria, of Joan : Trexier, co-defendant with Mrs. Baimber- er in the charge of mans:augnter in the rst degree, in causing the death of Wil- heimina Spoeri. "Pormer Judge Thomas B. Harvey, of counsel for defense, objected vehement.y to eee | Texic™ on triai before the case of rs. Bamberger had been @isposed of. _ . Dr. Johnson was summo:s.ed trom the City Dispensary to givesmore fuliy tne details of Mrs. Bamberger's iliness. Hefore he could arrive, Judge Fisher said he wou.d take a Httle time to cons.der the propriety of proceeding with the Texier triai, and in the meantime wou.d hear another case. He then ordered the Sheriff accordingiy. Texier was called into the room and oc- cupied a chair next to Mr. Harvey during the trial of a youth charged with a smal: theft. ; Mrs. Bamberger is undoubtedly a very Bick woman. The attorneys for the prose- teution admit that pom # believe she is suffer- ‘ing physically as well as mentally. Tues- day aiternoon, while the examination of Ligzie Reiger was in progress Mrs, Bam- berger showed more intense nervousness than at any time since the case was called, and to those who noticed her there was ise Wednesday morni when it Was announced that she had co.lapsed.

IT WAS PUT IN OPERATION BY STONE AND COOK. Richard §S. Slater Calls on the Demo- cratic Leader at Washington and Receives His Walking Papers. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—Senator James K. Jones, Chairman of the Democratic Na- tional Committee, has inaugurated war on the committee methods put in force by ex- Gov. W. J. Stone and Sam B. Cook while the Senator was in Europe. The two Mis- sourians organized a ways and means com- mittee, and put an army of canvassers in the fleld soliciting subscriptions for the Democratic campaign fund for 1900. Among the many solicitors put in the field were Richard S. Slater of Kansas City and T. B. Love of Springfield, at that time em- ployed in the Democratic State Central Committee under Chairman Cook. ‘Mr. Love was given Texas to gather sub- scriptions in, while Mr. Slater was sent to New York. They raised many thou- sands of dollars from Democrats in the different localities and were pajd 12% per eent on all subscriptions secured. Yester- day Mr. Slater came over from New York to see Chairman Jones to get from him letters @f introduction to prominent Democrats in New York, who thus far have not contributed to the fund. - Instead of giving Slater the letters he sider himself discharged from the employ of the committee. In addition, so saya Mr. Slater, Chairman Jones denounced the system adopted by Gov. Stone and Mr. Cook as a cheap way of doing business; that it was an oufrage to send men over the country soliciting subscriptions and waxing fat over money contributed for Democratic success, which would come to him, Jones, anyway. Thereupon he discharged Mr. Slater and announced his intention of abol- ishing the whole business, Chairman Jones’ action accentuates the very serious differences between ‘himself and ex-Gov..Stone. The work accomplished by the Missourian while the Senator from Arkansas was absent in Furope is all to be undone. Senator Jones evidently proposes to run the Democratic National Committee himself. As Vice-Chairman Jones of Kan- sas, now head of the Executive Committee, indorsed all that was done by Stone and Cook, he, too, falls under the ban of the chairman's displeasure.

William Kennedy Carried the Burning Couch From the House—Blaze Was Caused by Lace Curtains Hang- ing Over a Heater. Mrs. Belle TFamner of 3610 Lafavette ave- aged he home early Wednesday morning. That the fire did not as#ume more se- rious proportions is mainly due to the bravery of Wilheam Kennedy, a gripman on the Peoples’ Ratlway. Mrs. Tanmer conducts a private board- ing house in the fashionable vicinity of ‘Lafayette Park,. Her home is filled with guests, and last week, to accommodate more, she took the parlor as her sleeping apartment. Her bed has been a cot. ‘Tuesday night Mrs. Tanner moved her cot from its accustomed place to a posi- tion rear the register from the furnace. Directly over the heater hung the lace curtains of a window. Against these the side of Mrs, Tamner’s covch touched. An overheated fmrnace caused the fire at 6 o’clock Wednesday morning. The cur- tains first blazed and then the bedclothing. Mrs. Tanner awoke to find herself sur- rounded by fire. Before she coud] compre- hend the situation her nightdress was burn- ing. She screamed for help. Immediately there was a panic in the boarding house. Answering screams came from upstairs and theréi.was a rush of halfclad boarders into the eerridors. Smoke rolled up the stairway fram the parler and the terrified women above could hear the crackling of the flames and the cries of the landlady. For the time ah seemed para- lyzed. .The fire was downstairs and rapidly creeping closer along the enly avenue of escape. It looked as uzh the inmates would be compelled to dash through the flames. . Harry Wilsor and Tom on the third floor. Ti and were partly dresse the screams from bélow. stairs and encounteréd t on the second floor, They ordered the women to the rear of the house and p.unged down the stairs, through the smoke, to the burning parlor, About this time cable train No. 10 of the Peoples’ Line passed Jefferson avenue on its first trip. west. Motorman ennedy saw the briiliant light in the’ arding house, and, as he drew nearer, saw the smoke creeping out of the closed windows. It is very still at that hour around Jeffer- son and Lafayette avenues, and when op- posite the ‘house Mrs. Tanner’s cries were heard above the rattle of the train. Ken- nedy stopped the car and ran to the house. After giving the bell several violent rings he unmhesitatingly broke in the door and dashed into the parior. He arrived there with Wilson and Ramsey, the board- ' ers. ‘Mrs. Tanner was in the center of the ‘room. Her dress was burning, and the flames had reached her hair. The pain and fire had ‘bewildered her, and she stood ' without making any effort to escape. The three men ran to her and with hands and r smothered the fire. he cot was @ mass of flames, and the heavy curtains around the room were car- rying the fire to the ceiling. The casing about two windows was burning. As the two boarders led the woman away, Kennedy seized the couch in his gloved hands and bore it through the ‘hal! to the front door and tossed it Into the yard, His bearskin coat and gloves were scorched. It was this act that averted a serious conflagration. The couch was the seat of the fire, and when it was elimin- ated the Fire Department had MIhittle trouble.in extinguishing the small flames about the woodwork and the slow burn- ing. fire in the tapestries. Then he saw that all danger was passed, Gripman Kennedy boarded his train and went away. The family, Wednesday morn- ing, did not know his name. rs. Tanner was painfully burned. Dr. M. BD. Haase was hastily summoned and an examination showed that she had not inhaled any of the flames. Her injuries consist of burns on the arms and right shoulder and over the whole right side of the head and face. Her hair is also burned off on this side. Dr. Haase saw his patient again before moon and stated that he did not consider her injuries serious. he fire ruined the parlor furnishings and some of those of the dining-room, di- rectly in the rear.

At that hour, the market was feeling the effects of the slump in these issues, and there was a little falling away in many of the special- ties, The rail # were holding their own, and many of them were showing light gains.

I nearly cried from disappointment when he escaped.” Thus gpoke Mrs. Waldo Briggs of 4399 ‘Forest Park toulevard Wednesday morning.

No papers were found in the garment, but in one pocket there was a (ea spoon with “C. M. ©.” engraved on it.

ALL WERE FOUND UNINJURED. VOLUNTEERS DASHED OUT IN THE NIGHT AND BROUGHT THEM IN. BOERS DID NOT CROSS RIVER. The British Are Supposed to Be Strengthening Their Position and Waiting for the Arrival of Re-Enforcements. LONDON, Dec. ®.—A special dispatch from Burban, Natal, dated Saturday, Dec. 16, says it is rumored Gen. Buller called for volunteers to recover the 1 guns abandoned in the battle of Tugela River, and that a party issued from the camp after midnight and brought in the guns, which were uninjured. / The accounts of the Tugela battle re- ceived here made it doubtful, even before the Durban cable came in, that the Boers had taken possession of the abadoned| British artillery. According to a dispatch to the Associated Press from Durban, sent off on the even- ing of the battle, the guns remained where they were left by the British troops and were covered by the heavy guns of Gen. Hildyard’s brigade, occupying an in- trenched position. The Boers did not, it seems, attempt to cross the river and carry off the guns. Advices to the Associated Press from Pretoria, under the same date, say that an official Boer dispatch reports that two guns, thirteen wagons and a quantity of ammunition were captured besides 28 prisoners. The first impression created by Gen. Bul- ler’s official report was that the British had retreated to Chieveley, four or five miles south. on the day of the battle, and that the field had fallen into the possess‘on of the Boers. That impression wes evidently er- roneous, , The two armies are still within close ar- tillery range of each other. The Boers seem to show no disposition to attack, and Gen. Buller is probably awaiting reinforce- ments and more effective cannon. Further accounts of the Tugela R'ver bat- tlé emphasize the ignorance of the British Intelligence Department in regard to the disposition of the Boer forces. The Brit- ish were not aware that the Boers were en- trenched along a series of iow-lying hills, immediately northward of Colenso Bridge unt.l a staggering fire compelled them to retreat, when the attack seemed about to succeed. The Boers were also in greater strength than anticipated. It becomes clearer also, that the Britths guns were lost in attempting to get within effective range of the Boer ratillery, show- ing that the latter outranged the Hritish ordnance, which in spite of numerical! superiority was wholly tnadequate to reply to the long range Boer guns. The British War Office comes in for scathing denunciation from the Times to- day, for not providing effective artillery, It is pointed out, ir this connection, that the longer ranged naval guns participating in the same attack, escaped. There was no news this morning to en- lighten the general situation. The War Office reported that Gen. French recon- noitered northward of Arundel Monday, Dec. 18.

The firm of Berthold & Jennings filed a petition in the Circuit Court Wednesday, asking that the property of the H. N.

It is further claimed that the de- endant, a few days after the suit was filed, absorbed the company. The court is asked to compel the defend- ant to account for the value of the prop- erty of the Holliday Lumber and Mercan- tile Co. and to order a receiver to teke charge of it until it can be made to stand for the debt due the plaintiffs.

Burglars are operating in broad daylight within the shadow of the Eighth District Station house. They seem to be indifferent, regardless of the proximity of the police. Tuesday evening, between 6 and 6 o’clock, two, well-dressed men entered the yard in the rear of Wiliiam Yorger’s grocery store at Manchester and Leffingwell avenues. First they rolied a barrel of sugar outside. Leaving this on the pavement they secured a barrel of rice and went back for some sacks of coffee. Just then a sister of Mr. Yorger started in at the alley gate on Leffingwell, where the robbers were at work. e* boldness of the thieves deceived her. She at first supposed that clerks were shipping goods. But when she saw one of the men motion to a peddler’s wagon, and saw the driver start towards them she gave the alarm. Mr. Yorger with two clerks rushed ou, The burglars saw them ~ on | and the man in the wagon whipped up his horses and distanced his pursuers. The two men who had rolled the barrels to the. pave- ment fled down the alley between an- chester and Clark avenues and got away from the groceryman. Yorker reported the robbery to the police. They promised to catch the men, but suppressed the news of the attempt. Yorger was busy in front of the store, with four clerks, while the thieves were trying to make way with his goods. A policeman had just left the store. Another burglary, supposedly by the same men, occurred Monday night. The grocery store of J. F. Rossi, 2700 Laclede avenue, two blocks from the station house, was entered and some tobacco taken. A pri- vate watchman arrived on the scene in time to hear the thieves driving away. His presence prevented the men from loading their wagon. EXCLUDED SOME TESTIMONY. But Judge Talty Granted the Divorce to Mrs. Ethel B. Smith. A divorce was granted to Ethel B. Smith from Arthur K. Smith by Judge Talty Wednesday. The case was thheard last week, but was taken under advisement while Judge Talt considered whether some evidence, whic the plaintiff had offered, was admissible. He finally determined to exclude it, but ‘granted the plaintiff's prayer on other testi- mony. Mrs. Smith’s charge against her husband was a statutorv offense. He contested the suit, being represented by his attorney. He resides in Boston and is a member of a good family. Mrs. 8m.th has recently moved to St. Louls with her mother.

Law- ton that was not true. The General took the trouble to deny some of the false statements a short time ago. The usual story was that ‘“‘as a country boy in Ohio he got his size and brawn from sturdy farm- er folk.’’ As a matter of fact, Gen. Law- ton's family had nothing to do with farm- ing. He made these corrections: He was given a start in life by the coun- try schoolmaster and he did enlist as a | , private and was made a sergeant in the volunteer service in 1861. At the end of the war he was mustered out as a drevet colonel. He did not “enlist’’ again in the reguiar army, however, he was appointed to the service as a commissioned officer. Here are some of the statements and Gen. Lawton’s cominents on them: wisccltent bias He stands 6 feet 3 inches’’—‘‘T am 6 feet ‘4 “Tis teeth are sound’’—T have just had two extracted."” ‘“‘His only sign of age is a few gray hairs’’—‘‘I’'ve got more white hairs than any other color.”’ ‘*Higs intimates will back him to drink any man under the tadle’’—"'l never drink a drop of liquor, as my ‘intimates’ very well know.’’ ‘‘When he feelf like it he works 48 hours at @ stretch’’—‘‘I never do feel like it.” “When the mood takes bim he sleeps as long with- out turning over’—‘‘I wish I could.” ‘*‘He niay fast two days and then eat a dozen reed birds at a sitting’’—‘‘I object to belng described as an anaconda, and I don’t know what kind of an animal a reed bird @ is.’ And now comes the statement that claps the climax: ‘He is a bachelor; if he ‘ ever had an affair of the heart, his friends pt have never heard of it.’ ’ The General was married, and very happily, for some 16 years, and had four children, the eldest of whom is a boy of 12, who accompanied him on many of his expeditions in the Philip- pines, beipg a ‘‘volunteer aid” on his staff. eVOm———_— a blow!’ Said Senator Beveridge, in answer to qtiestions: : “Lawton was like Napoleon’s marshais. He was not simp.y bfave, but had so - tle self-consciousness tn the hour of battle that he was literally unconscious of danger. 1 have seen him the target of the entire fire of the enemy. He simply did not know he was béing fired at, because his mind was so engaged in studying out what should be done. ‘He rode an enormous black horse and wore a practically white suit, with a great gray slouch hat. He hed come to be known to the Filipinos as Custer used to be known to the Indians, and whenever he appeared within range they directed their fire on him. They feared him moré than any one e.se. “He was tall, at least 6 feet 2 inches, slender, raw-boned and a fighter in appear- ance. He looked much like the ty of Western soldier which Remington draws. He had. brown eyes, alert and penetrating. His manners were direct and to the point and he used few words. “Tt recall the day he ordered the advance of the South Dakotas at Taytay. Theré was nothing histrionic or dramatic about it at all. It was a matter of business. “He simply rode across the field, found Get your men into toWn there.’ “Then turning, he galloped over to the Tweifth R lar Infantry, and, dismounting at exact] the point Where two of our sol- diers been kifled a few minutes be- fore, called up the major, who was in com- mand, and said in a quiet, business-like bs ok ‘Get your men on the move, or. “The charge Was ordered and executed beautifully. wton then characteristical - tele we gry Boe the saddle oy galloped nto Taytay before most of the c soldiers had reached there. w : fir the Se Gem.

He had been there since dawn, surveying the sur- rounding country and preparing to execute certain movements at the earliest possible moment. He had practically. not gone to This he did week after week. “The Filipinos were much afraid of him?’ “Yes, Night, well aa day. they called him “The Soldier of the because he was on the go night as He represented to them the Spporits of the spirit of Spanish neral- ship.

He was triily a great soldier. “He waa, I believe, the most silent man I ever, knew, and yet, strange to say, he was perfectly unreserved when he did speak, and did not have the leset bit of affectation about ‘him. He was ase simple- minded ag a child. Sometimes he r nd- ed you of a child in the clearness and the met ag of his remarks. ‘He $s not a searcher after personal glory. I don’t think Henry W. Lawton ever epent ten minutes of his life think- ing about fame. He thought about duty, ag is ‘best illustrated by: the speech he made on the trip the President took through the South. I think it was at Mont ery, Ala. After the President and Gen, Wheeler and all the members of the Cabinet, who ‘were present, ‘had spoken, somebody called for Gen. Lawton. e arose, bowed and sat down. But they would not release him, and so he rose and said: “ "Fellow citizens, I am only a goldier, am only a regular. Thank you.’ “To my mind that speech is classic.”’ “You saw a great deal of him in the Phil- ippines?" ‘Yes, I was fortunate enough to see much of him. After I returned from the South- ern islands most of my time was spent with Lawton. We ate together, slept in the game room when he Pert at ali, rode together, and all that. But that is no news. In this way, though, [ came to know him very intimately, and the more I knew him the better I liked him, and finally I came to love him. That is the only word for it, and that is the ex- perience, too, of everybody else who had the honor of knowing him.”’ “As to his home life?’ “That is too sacred a subject to say any- thing about, further than that it was so tender and beautiful that it was ideal. rs: Lawton is out there now with. the children. How many hearts bleed for her! She was as truly the goldier’s wife as he was the soldier.’’ “Did you urge his prometion after Shaft- er was retired?’’ *“O, yes, of course; and it seems that the President had dectded upon it.”’ HOW GEN. LAWTON DIED. He Was on the Front of the Firing Line and Laughing at Danger. MANILA, Dec. 20.—Gen. Lawton left here Monday night, having returned from his notrhern operations Saturday, to lead an expedition through Mariquina Vat.ey, which has been an insurgent strongho.d throughout the war. The valiey has sev- eral times been invaded, but never held by the Americans. Gen. Geronimo was supposed to have there the largest organ- ized force north of Manila, and Gen. Otis wished to garrison Mariquina. The night was one of the worst of the season. —_— rig consisting of the Bleven valry and one battalion each’ Of Re Pwentioth and Twen- ty-seventh Infantry, which started from La Loma at midnight. With a small escort he led the way through an almost pathiess country, a distance of 15 miles over bills through canebreaks and deep mud, the horses climbing the rocks and sliding down the hills. Before daybreak the md ‘chad reached the head of the Walley. San Mateo was attacked at 8 o'clock, and a three hours’ fight ensued. This resulted in but few casualties on the American side, apart from the death of Gen. Lawton, but the attack was difficult because of the net- ural defenses of the town. Gen. Lawton was walking along the firing line within 300 yards of @ small sharpshooters’ trench, conspicughs in the big white helmet he always wore and @ light yellow raincoat. He was a‘so sily distinguishable because of his commanding stature. the sharpshooters directed several close shots which clipped the grass near by. His staf offiver called Gen. Lawton’s atten- tion to the danger he was in, but he only laughed, with his usual contempt for bul- lets. Sudden'y he exclaimed: “T.am shot!’’ clinched his hands in a des- rate effort to stand erect and fe!l fnto the arms of a staff officer.

The view of the Post-Dispatch that the money purse fought for by professional sluggers marked the prohibited prize fight has been officially adopted and an order, in accordance with the demand of decent peo- ple, voiced by the Post-Dispatch, to stop professional prize fighting for purses, has been issued by the Police Board. This order should have been issued long ago. The law is clear enough, and that it was evaded by a pretense of boxing ex- hibitions in sham clubs organized to supply an excuse for’ official leniency was recognized by all unbiased citizens. Now that the order has been issued, let it be enforced at every point. The people should see that it is enforced. Drive out the pugs. ® p> i i We did not quit paying for the Philippines when the $20,- 000,000 were scnt to Spain. The cost includes already several hundred brave soldiers killed in battle or carried off by dis- ease. Of the commissioned officers the Captains and Majors are too numerous to mention; there have been three or four Colonels and now a Major General. And the ‘miserable busi- ness is the more wretched because the war is a mere cold, eco- nomical venture without a spark of warm sentiment or hoh- est patriotism. Nations cannot steal their neighbors’ goods. A price must be paid, even by the most powerful. Short skirts and turned up trousers are absolutely neces- sary in St. Louis because so many streets are neglected. Numerous street crossings are mere mud puddles, into which the street car passenger must plunge when he leaves a car. Ex-Secretary Alger thinks he is vindicated because the English Minister of War is not doing any better than he. If he is satisfied with a vindication of that kind the coun- try will acquiesce. Doubtless England would feel safer on her India frontier were Russia and Japan to go to war. The Japanese war preparations may not mean war, but they are to be sus- pected. i i POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. eg oe, SS a tS Me: RE gm SC ?

A year ago to-day there was peace in the Philippines—peace with a promise of a sunrise of liberty, peace with the Filipinos as our allies and friends, peace with our army and navy ealut- ing the flag of the Filipino Republic, peace with the Filipinos trusting, in spite of strange silénces and delays, that they would yet get that for which they had heen fighting.the Spaniard for three centuries. - A year ago to-morrow, without warning, without consultation with our own officers In the Philippines, without consulting the Filipinos, who had estalblished a government of their own six months before with not a word of protest from us, Mr. McKinley issued a proclamation calling upon the Filipinos to lay down their arms and become the vassais, the political slaves of the United States. He held out no hope of seif-governmment. He carefully avoided mention of their political rights. He uttered not a word of recognition or explanation. In thinly disguised language of arrogant and contemptuous despotism he gave the alternative of political slavery or death. A wer followed—‘‘this damnable war,” as Maj.-Gen. Lawton cailed it, with the simple bluntness of the honest soldier. Homes, churches, schcolhouses have been burned by the thousand. Tens of thousands offmen, women and children who ought to have lived to bless the name of the Republic have died—of wounds, of famine, of fever, on battlefields, in the depths of jungies, by the ashes of their destroyed homes. More than a thousand American citizens have been sacrificed— each a life of use and value, each a life dear to friend and family. Five times a thowsan@=have been crippled or invalided for life by wounds or disease. c And now the nation loses Lawton—a hero—name etanding for all this virtue and courage and —— that is irreparably lost to the republic.

From the State Tribune. Baltimore is very much gurprised.

Buying Legislatures. From the Webb City (Mo.) Express. The St. Louls Post-Dispatch inclines to the opinion ont the Genate will go against Clark of Mont because he is charged with paying exorbitant prices for legisia- tive votes. The practice of vote buying by Senatorial candidates is becoming, if it has not y become, the e of our system of electing United States Senators. If it can be shown that Mr. Clark paid any price for a vote he should be refused the seat. The Democratic party can better lose the seat than hold it by open corruption. The Church and the Philippines. From the Ironton (Mo,.) Register. The Post-Dispatch says, “The church stood by the Spaniards against the Fili- pinos, and it is therefore easy for it {o stand b the Administration against them.” e church has too often impeded the onward march of freedom, as many a bloody battle fleld painfully attests. It is perhaps natural that it should be so; ing from its very nature rigidly conserva- tive, the church views with distrust all innovation upon “constituted authority.” But the church does not always permit its conservatism to overrule its sympathy with the advancement of humanity in worldly affairs, and we have no doubt many an ardent, self-sacrificing advocate of Filipino liberty may be found atmong its priesthood.

He has trained at that place for all the fights he has taken part in during the past two yeare and clealms that there is no other place like it. Pete Lowery, who has been Maher's chief adviser for some time, is also training him for this fight and has Peter already in fit condition to enter th the ring. Kid Lavigne has made up his mind to re-enter the ring. He has been idle a long time and it wae said during the early a of his vacation that he was not taking the best care of himself. Of late. he has taken a brace in the matter of raining and is now said to be in very good form. L. M. Houseman, manager of the Tatter- salls Athletic Association, has offered Frank Childs $1000, win or lose, for a six-round bout with Tom Sharkey about the middle of next month. Childs is laid up with rheu- matiem at present and it is not lfkely that he will be in condition to train for a month at least. If the match is made Sam Sum- merfield, Childs’ manager, wants to sign fora percentage of the gate, with the win- ner’s and joser’s end. Eddie Connolly, who defeated Kid Mc- Partland at the Broadway Athletic Club Friday night, is out with a challenge to meet any lightweight in the business. Con- nolly prefers a meeting with either Jack een or Frank Brne for the champion- ship, George Dixon evidently appreci on we difficult task he has on dw he tackles Terry enpae Alas at the aronhedy Athletic Club on Jan. 9 in a 2-round bout, for he is already training at West Baden Springs. Gus Ruhlin, the “Akron Giant,"* scored a decisive victory over tockings Conroy before the Broadway Athletic Club.in New York on Tuesday night. In the sedan round, when Conroy was staggering and nearly out, Referee Charley White stopped the contest and gave the fight to Ruhilin. On Friday night Harry Forbes and Terry McGovern will have their mill before the Broadway Athletic Club in New York. IT WAS NEWSBOY®S’ NIGHT.

Not a goal was scored in the hockey game at the Ice Palace last night, in which the Maple Leafe and St. Louis University Alumni were the contending teams. Some brilliant ees ee, was witnessed by the large crowd pre As usual, Kiely did the best work for the Alumni seven. Harry Woods and Richardson carried off the i ht for the Canucks.

REDS OF 1869. How the First Tour of That First Pro- fessional Club Came Near Being Declared Off. On Tuesday these few lines appeared in the Cincinnati Exrquirer: “Poor old Fred Waterman, once the pride of the ‘tbaseball worid, died at the Hospital last Saturday, and few, ve knew of his death. His funeral wil take place this morning. There were enough people left who remembered his achieve- ments as third baseman of the Reds # years, ago to save his remains from potter's Even the people in the home of the first real ofeseional ‘basdball team appear to have forgotten the old heroes. The Cincinnati Reds of 1869 were the first baseball team to ever make a tour of the country. And that tour, it may be said, led to the present system of professionai playing and Cluios visiting each other. There are few of the present followeré of the game in St. Louls who remember ony thing of the (Cincinnati Reds, who were the mpions of the game W years ago. The resent generation knows nothing about them, but the old fellows, like Billy Meda Joe (Carr and Bill Schaefer, who are to be seen in the front rom at every ame, will never forget them, and they ave nothing but whose recollections of Waterman, ett is recorded in the few iines publehed above. Gould, Sweesy, George Wright and Waterman were the infie a of the famous Red Stackini gs and Waterman ‘was as great a player as any in the lot. Of the four named he ig the first to pass away. In 1869, while the Cincinnati Reds were playing great ball in their home city, news came to them of battles won on Eastern fields by the Aflantics of Brooklyn, the Athletics of Philadelphia and other great teams. Some one suggested that the Reds make a tour of the country with Brooklyn and Philadelphia as the objective points, 8 Se the suggestion. was acted on. But at the last moment the money needed to make the tour was found missing, and {it looked as though }t would be abandened, when 7 oor portrait painter of Cincinnatl remem- red that his wife had put away $100 for the proverbial rainy day, and he offered to borrow that and loan it te the ball- players. His offer was accepted, and with that money the start was made. St. Louis was one of the Reds’ first stop- aes A places. The Empires and Unions were s of the walk in the baseball wor'd here ‘then. and the games which the Reds played with them were promienie and placed them on Easy Stree here to Brooklyn the tour was streaked with consecutive victories, and it was not until the Reds met the Atlan- tics on the famous old Cavitoline grounds at Brooklyn that their banner went down in defeat. Years afterward the old guard, when talking about games won and lost on the ball field, would say: “Oh, but you should have seen the games between the Cincinnati Reds and the At- lantics of Brooklyn. George Wright and icky Pearce played in it. you krow, and there were never two shorts‘ops like them. And old Joe Start covered first and Zet’’— one so they boasted of that game and But the old guard who remember that game have thinned out in recent years, and the old guard itself Is being forzot- ten, as witness the scant notice given Fred Waterman, who died in the city that was made famous by the Reds, and whose remains, but for a few of this same old guard. would be to-day resting in “‘pot- ter’s field.’ Tony Faust’s Fulton Markets, 610 OLTVHP AND 413 TO 414 BLM STREET, Are just loaded down with delicacies for the holidays. Took over the list, and if you don't get an appetite nothing will give you one: Nurenberger Lebkuchen and Lubecker (Marz!pan, canvas-back ducks and game of all kinds, genuine Russian caviar, West- phalia hams, goose breast, Bismarck, deli- eatess herring, cervelat sausage, snails, artichokes, Kieler sprotten, diamond-back terrapin, oyster crabs, cralb meat, sea and fresh water fish, vegetalbles, fruit, smoked salmon, eel and sturgeon, Deerfoot farm Sausage, imported asparagus, sardelis, goose livers, turkeys and poultry, stuffed Wisconsin geese averaging 20 pounds each, foreign and demestic bottled and canned delicacies of every description, and hun- dreds of other dainties too numerous to mention here.

This is a perplexing question once a year. It is very easily answered. If one is @ lover of vocal and instrumental music, nothing is more appropriate than Edison's New Phonograph for a Christmas present, it pleases either the young or old. You can purchase one from $7.0 up. They will play as sweet and clear as a brass band or or- chestra and sing as natural as life. A call on the Edison Talking Machine Co., 1003 Ol.ve street, will convince you. No home is complete without one of these wonderful machines. May eerereesyee Very Rev. Mer.

Three highwaymen assaulted @ man on ‘the ‘Natural Birdge road, near Newstead avenue, early Wednesday morning end in- ‘flicted injuri¢s upon him which may result fatally amd if not will gurely disfigure him for life. The victim of the assault was Owen O'Donnell of 4316 Newstead avenue. O’Donnell is at the City Hospital in a critical condition. His face and head are eovered with outs and bruises. Wednesday morning his right eye was removed from its socket by hospital surgeons. This opera- tion was rendered necessary by the assault made upon him by the highwaymen. He was stabbed@ in the eye by one of the three men. The injuries on his face and head were caused by blows from a club in the hands other of his assailants.

Present Purchase Will Bun the Total to 7000 Missouri Mules Bought by England in Three Months. The English army needs more Missouri mules for pack and draught egervice in the Transvaal, and its agents, Capts. & M. Smith and James Marsham, have come to §S t. Louls to make additional purchases. They arrived from New Orleans Tues- day evening, and will remain in St. Louls until after Christmaa, They expect to buy 1000 or more mules, and will take their time in making selections, so that they may procure the choicest grade of animals on the market. The purchases ‘will be about equally di- vided between draught and pack animals. Every mule must be in perfect condition, and must not fall below a minimum height and weight. The animals that have heen bought by the army heretofore have not been selected with go m Care as any suc- ceeding assignments will ig ogb 5 and none will be accepted that vary in the siightest degree from the ermy’s fixed standard. Fu- ture consignments will ibe engaged to re- plenish ssible josses, and not to meet esent demands for their service. Hence, sperede no rush in the work of purchasing em. Capts. Smith and Marsham have assist- ants with them and wil] divide their forces between St. Louls and Hast St. Louis sta- bles. Most of the stables that will enter the competition for the sales now have ther s full of the grade of antmals desired. ‘he officers mMformed them of their pro- posed return to St. Louls, and suggested that, if they cared to furnish mules to the British army, they should be prepared to make deliveries as goon as possible after making sales. ey were also informed that no animalg would be accepted upon recommendation, and that all must pass muster under the skillful eye of the English veterinary who accompanies the Purchas- ing Commission. he big stables, therefore, asked their country patrons to make shipments as scon as ssib,e, 6o that they might have what mules they hed to sell on vhe ground for immediate inspection by the officers. As the Engiish army always pays good prices for mules, these messages brought surpris- ingly large returns. Hundreds of choice animals were poured into the yards of local Stables, and, when the English officers set about the work of making their purchases | Wednesday, they found local dealers pre- pared to supply them, immediately, with a.most as many animals as are needed. The present visit of ‘the Engiish Army Purchasing Commission is the fourth it has made to St. Louis since October, when the war between England and the Boer Repub- lic Was first talked of. It has already 6e- cured 6000 mules from the territory tribu- tary to St. Louis, and the present intended purchase will increase the number to 7000. Capt. Smith says the commission: has re- ceived no orders to return to England and is not expecting any. Its mission in the United States Is almost exciusiveiy to buy mu.es for the army, and the fact that the commission is to remain in 8t. Louis is taken by local dealers to mean that the army intends to buy more mules than it is now seeking on its present visit. A representative of one North Broadway firm said Wednesday that he believed 10,- 000 would prove to be a conservative esti- mate of the number of mules the English army would buy in St. Louls before the close of the Boer-English war, provided ace is declared within six months. The onger the war lasts, the greater will be the purchases. Both Capt. Smith and Capt.’ Marsham de- cline to discuss the war. They meet oy! questions with the statement that the Brit- ish army regulations forbid either officers or privates to speak of the nation’s mili- tary affairs. But they admit the war has lasted longer than they expected when sit was first declared, and that it may con- tinue several months. But they are ho ful and declare there can be but one result ~the final triumph of the British arms. They say victory is only a qnestion of a little while, and that it will certain.y come when all the troops designed by the govern- meal pm er gee ey Ma get in and plen of artiller la am the ground yore BROADWA MAYOR SLOW TO ACT CORNER OF » LOCUST ST. HAS NOT SUBMITTED A REPORT OF REMITTED FINEs. THE HOUSE CALLED FOR ONE. Mr. Ziegenhein Is Said to Be Annoyed by the Request, Which He Con- siders Unusual. Mayor Ziegenhein has so far shown no disposition to comply with the resolution adopted by the House of Delegates, calling upon him to submit a report of the fines he has remitted. The resolution was adopted about six weeks ago, and is based on Section 99 of the Revised Ordinances, which, in part is as follows: The Mayor shall from time to time give the Assembly information relative to the state of the city, and shall recommend to their consid- 2 laws of the State end the ordinances of the city are respected aml inforced within the city, and may remit fines, forfeitures and penalties duly of any ordinance, and 0 Assembly at every It is understood that the Mayor inter- prets this ordinance to mean that he shall submit the report with his annual] mes- Sage, and that if he complies at all it will not be until the beginning of the next term of the Assembly in April. The Mayor has indicated to his friends t he considers the whole proceeding very annoying. because former Mayors 4d: } not comply with the ordinance. To this the members of the House of Delegates who voted for the resolution say no for- mer Mayor so abused the privilege of re- mitting fines, as has Mayor Ziegenhein, Place Your Orders at Once For monogram stationery, calling cards, etc., to insure the best results and prompt ' delivery.

HER UNCLE CLAIMS THE BODY Suicide of Mrs. Hallie Tate Becomes a Mystery, in View of Statements Made by Her Relatives. The mystery of the suicide of Mrs. Hallie Tate of 1723 Franklin avenue was deepened by the arrival in Et. Louls of the woman's uncle, Harry Crawford, Wednesday morn- | ing. Mr. near Kirksville, Mo. Crawford lives at Stahl, a village under peculiar circumstances. Mr. Crawford sald to the Post-Dispatch: | “My niece was Miss Hallie Marine. She was a echool teacher and well known in a number of towns in North Missouri. “A little over a year ago I was driving along the road and overtook my niece, who was, I thought, on her way home from her school. I asked her to go with me, but she said she might not return home, as she intended to Lt to Kirksville to accept a position as school teacher. “TI never saw her after that. Inquiry showed she had not been in Kirksville and I could not learn her whereabouts. I did not hear from her until Nov. % last, when I received a letter from her dated St. Louis, She was then ne at 1531 Washington avenue. She signed her maiden name to the letter. There was nothing in it to in- dicate that she waa married. She wrote that she had obtained empioyment in 8t. Louis and mentioned several of the friends she had known as a girl. I never heard of Tate until I was notified that my sister killed herself. “I went out to the Franklin avenue house this ng, but there was no one there.” Mrs. Tate took poison Tuesday night at her home and died shortly after. Her bod is still at the Morgue. If it is not claim b — Mr. Crawford will take charge °o ; Up to ll o’clock Wednesday morning Tate had not to claim the body of his wife and the remains were deliveret to her uncie, who will ship them home for burial. —— If you care for money, it is your duty to compare the Globe's (Seventh and Franklin avenue) price wih others on the finest ’ And every pair of the $60,000 stock of fine Shoes must go. points of resemblance, EXCEPTING THE PRICES.
