Ira D. Sankey and Other Life-Time Friends and Comrades Among the Honorary Pall- bearers. EAST NORTHFIELD, Mass., Dec. 26.— Funeral services over the remains of Dwight L. Moody were heid at the Congre- gational Chureh to-day before a large audience. Men who for many years have been connected with Mr. Moody’s work took part. Rev. C. Ll. Schofleld, D. D., of- ficiated, assisted by Rev. A. Torrey of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. There were services at the Moody residence egrly in the day, only relatives and close friends being present. Ds. Schofielu read the scriptures and Mr. Torrey offered prayer. When the family had withdrawn, the corpse Which had been permitted to remain upon a leather couch, was placed in the casket, which was of simp.e design, black covered, and open at full length. ‘she body was borne to the church on an obiong, black-covered bier, by about 40 students from the Northfield Institute. Before the bier was raised white roses were sprinkied about the casket. Dr. Schofield and Mr. Torrey led the procession, whiie following the bier came the following honorary pali- Ira D. Sankey and George C. Morse and D. |W. McWilliams; New York; Rev. W. J. Hardman and Rev. George C, Needham of Philadeiphia. The bier was placed in front of the pulpit and the lid of the casket was removed, / showing a spray of palm and ivy extending from the feet to the breast. A large num- ber of villagers and visitors then began to file past the body. Mr. had every appearance of one enjoying peaceful sleep. The body remained on view in the church until 2 o'clock. At the public funeral survice the music was rendered by the choir of 150 students, An invocation was followed by the scrip- ture lasson, read by Rev. A. T, Pierson of Brooklyn. Dr. Schofield then delivered the eulogy in which he gave an estimate of the man and his work and made extended reference to the source of his greatness. The Rev: Mr. Torrey foilowed Dr. Scho- field. His eulogy was based upon Mr. Moody’s life exemplifying the grace of God. Following Mr. Torrey, remarks were made by the Rev. H: G. Weston of Crozier Theo- — Seminary, Chester, a the Rev. Piereon of Brooklyn, N oe J. ap- man of New York. The body was then carried to the burial place at Round Top. The chorus. sang “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” and after peever and a benediction the body was ow ered to its resting p place, “NOT TO MOURN A A DEFEAT.” Eloquent Sermon at the Funeral Serv- ices of Dwight L. Moody. The eulogy was delivered by the Rev. C. J. Schofield, who said of the dead evangel- ist: ‘We are met, dear friends, not to mourn a defeat, but to celebrate a triumph. He walked with God and he was not, for God took him. There in the West, in the pres- ence of a great audience of 12,000 of his fellow men, God spoke to him to lay it all down and come home. He would have planned it so This is not the place nor am I the man to present a study of the life and character of Dwight L. Moody. No one will ever question that we are to-day j laying in the kindly bosom of the earth the mortal body of a great man. Wihether we measure greatness by char- acter, by qualities of intelyect or by things alone, Dwight L. Moody must be accounted a ey The basis of Mr. Moody’s character was sincereity, genuineness. He thad an _ in- veterate aversion to ail forms of sham, un- reality and pretense. Most of all aid he test religious pretense and cant. Along with this fundamental quality Mr. Moody cherished a great love of rignteous- ness. His first question concerning any proposed action was, “Is it right?’ but these two qualilies necessarily at the bot- tom of all nobie characters were in him suffused and transfigured by divine grace. Lesides ail this, Mr. Moody was in a won- derful degree brave, Magnanimous and unseltish. Doubtless this untettered New bongiand country nor became What he was by the grace of God. ‘The secret of Dwight L. Moody’s power lay i ‘irstly, ina definite experience of Christ's saving grace.

Executes a Chattel Deed of Trust. ALL CREDITORS PROTECTED. THOMAS H. M’KITTRICK TAKES CHARGE OF THE STOCK. He Is Named Trustee and Will Conduct the Business for Ninety Days, Retaining Mr. B, Hillman as Manager. The Siegel-Htllman Dry Goods Company executed a chattel deed of trust Tuesday on its store, at Broadway ard Washington avenue, for the benefit of all its creditors. The iiabilities are estimated at $221,000. There are 375 creditors, of which the Fourth National Bank is the lergest, the company owing it $45,000 on seven promissory notes. The chattel deed secures all creditors to the same extent, nene of them being pre- ferred. Thomas H. McKittrick, president of the Hargadine-McKittrick Dry Goods Company, is named trusiee, Ninety days is the period for which the trust is to run. If, during that time, Trustee McKittrick, by selling the stock or to he will turn what remains over to the firm. If he fails in doing this the remainder of the goods will be sold at the best possible sale will be divided Bn wae 2 among the creditors. Mr. B. Hiliman, President of the com- pany, says he has not yet made an invoice of his stock and is not prepared to announce the value of the assets on hand. But. he confidently asserts that the resources will exceed the liabilities considerably, and that the firm will be able to pay its indebtedness dollar for dollar and thhave something left. He talks confidently of the future and de- clares that the chattel deed is not to be interpreted as indicating the retirement of the; firm from the St. Louis business world. His intention is to reorganize immedi- ately, make provision for the creditors and continue the store wnder the old man- agement. Trustee McKittriek took charge of the stock as soon Tuesday as the deed was executed, and will exercise a personal su- pesy -sion of it during the trust. He al- wed Mr. Hillman to continue in the management of the store, and will proba- bly retain him in that position until the stock is sold or the trlistee discharged on account ofa _ satisfactory arrangement with sradiitacn. Mr. McKittrick says has but one ob- ject, and that is to perform the duties of isfaction of every- his position to the s body. He will endervor to realize as much on the stock as ne and will not make any useless sacrifices in disposing of it. He thinks, with Mr. Hillman, that the the creditors will be paid dollar for dollar, and that there will be a considerable amount of assets left to continue the firm’s business on. The reason for “ _ ee of the firm was overbuy it is said. The Christmas trade, wh - arge, was not as brisk as the company expected, and made preparations for. Too mucna holiday stock was purohased, and, after Saturday's rush, the company had a considerable portion of these goods still on hand. Mr. lilmen says several of the large creditors made demands for their money, which the firm was unable to meet imme- diately, and he at once decided that the firm’s credit and stanaing could only be preserved by a chattel deed, properly secur- ing all creditors and showing by that its good faith. Mr. Hillman gave the following brief statement to the Post-Dispatch: “Our trouble was caused by overtrading. 'We did a larger business than our capital | i | | | | | allowed to do so. i the business. de- | | boy who found would permit. Our creditors are safe as the company’s assets are ample to meet all lia- bilities.’’ Myr. Thomas H. McKittrick, president of the Hargadine-McKittrick Dry Goods Co., who is named as the trustee, said: “Mr. Hillman was being pushed by some of his creditors and not having enough eash on hand to meet the demands he asked me to take charge of the firm’s af- fairs. If he can reorganize the company, which he hopes to be able to do, he will be But in the event that he cannot I shall conveyt the assets into cash, make it apply as far as it will, and wind up It may not be a bad failure after all.

The en- gine was standing on a siding near the roundhouse and Freisz was at work in the cab when the accident occurred. ! Grasping a monkey wrench Freisz started to tighten a steam cock when suddenly there came a sizzing noise from the wash- out plug in the boiler head. The next in- stant Freisz was covered with a cloud of vapor. The washout plug blew out and the ex- plosion knocked the victim through the cab door to the tender, where he turned a com- plete somersault and struck the ground. Fireman Tom Boyd and Julius Zimmer- man, the hostler, were standing at the rear end of the tank, 12 or 15 feet from the cab, at the time and supposed Freisz was killed when he fell from the tender. Both were slightly stunned by the explosion, but they recovered their senses and jump- ing from the locomotive, raised Freisz to a sitting posture and discovered that he was still alive but terribly scalded. Kurrus’ ambulance was called and the victim was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, where it was found that his entire right side from head to foot was a mass of burns. The hospital nurses believe he will re- cover. Freisz is married and lives at 414 North Eighth street.

Because of the Strict censorship nothing definite is known | of the disposition of the troops of the new division which are now arriving at the coast. The belief is that the greater part of these troops will go to strengthen Bul- ler, who dares not move forward until re- enforced. As to Gen. Methuen’s column, many milit- tary men predict that it will be annihilated. Methuen cannot go forward, and if he at- tempts to withdraw his army will be ex- posed to attack in such a way that defeat vill be almost a certainty. The next battle is looked for in Natal. It is not probable that the Boers will at- tack Buller, but he wil: certainly move upon their lines again after his re-enforce- ments arrive. The most important news from the front is contained in a Pretoria dispatch of the | 18th, which says that Gen. commander-in-chief of has recovered from his illness, and is again in -ommand on the Tugela River. On the 3th ail the Boer camps held spe- cial services as thanksgiving for the vic- tories of Colenso, Stormberg and Modder River. The War Office has received the follow- ing dispatch from Cape Town: “There 's no change in the situation at Mcdder River. Gen. Methuen is weii en- trenched and the Boers have not disturbed him."’ A dispatch from Durban says that the Norwegian bark Regina, from Java, load- ed with stretchers and railway sleepers, bas been captured near Delagoa Bay and brought there by the British crulser Forte. The Delagoa Bay question is likely to prove awkward any day. While the Boers are undoubtedly importing arms and am- munition freely, Hnoglend is helpless, as she cannot blockade a Portuguese port. The only way out seems to be the pur- cbase of territory by Great Britain. An epidemic of glanders is reported to have broken out among the army horses in Bulier’s camp, and 40 heve been shot. This disease may prove to be @ very se- rious thing for the Britieh, crippling then cavalry and artillery. Despite the severity of the censorship, hints are being continually received of the serious apread of Dutch disaffection in both the Queenstown district of Cape Col- Piet Joubert, the Boer armies, ony and Natal.

Butler Informed the Government of the Vast Preparations Made by ‘Kruger. NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—A dispatch to the Herald from London says: It appears that a storm is brewing on the subject of the course of the Government toward Gen. Sir William Butler, whose con- duct at the outset of the war met with much criticism, It is said that Gen. Butler, previous to the war, sent a series of dis- patches warning the Government against attacking the HReers, giving details of their condition { - war, which have been verified by recent events. Gen. Butler drew atten- tion to the way in which the English were misled by the blindness of the Intelligence Department, which, from what has teken piace, was oe unaware of, or purpose- iv misinformed by the. Boers as to their arms and numerical strength. It is well known here that British agents of the Intelligence Department were sent ‘from time to time to find out what the | Boers were doing in the way of armament, The Boers knew all about it, but simulated naivet and conducted the visitore around forts which they chose for their own pur- | pose, where clad guns were set up and ‘shown with an affectation of pride by Pres- ‘ident Kruger’s men, who were cunning | enough to inspire strangers by their plausi- ity. Thus the British Intelligence Departm@nt received the most minute reports of the ,caliber, range and number of the cannon | possessed by the Boers, but were merely gulled by the wily burgher. The rea) guns, , with which the war is conducied, the Creu- .sets and Krupps, were so carefully hidden 'that scarce a soul outside of the immedi- ‘ate council of the Government knew of |them, The English Government sent out guns equal in caliber to what the agents had been allowed to see. In the same view it is thought that the 3oers understate their numerical forces and small arms. : It is understood that all the things were told to the home Government by Gen. But- ‘ler, with the result that Butler was called disloyal and pro-Boer, and rabid papers demanded his degradation. But gince the | war began people whe knew the contents .of Gen. Butler's dispatches have come for- Ward and asked that they be published. The attention of members of Parliament has been called to the matter and when the Commons are assembled in six weeks ime demands will be made for the publil- cation of the dispatches. If it be asked why Gen. Butler did not speak out it must be remenrybered that he is a military man in a high position, and says, ““My lips are sealed,” but the subject now occupying the club gossips. One club man remarked that the ques- tion really amounts to this: “Is he a traitor or a martyr?’ Another said: “Is Gen, Butler the Drey- fus of this war, and has he been snubbed by the Queen?” For it will be remembered that when the Queen visited Bristol he was withdrawn from the chief command of the Weetern District and it was stated that he would have beer hooted had he eppeares. Has he been ineulted by the press in order to shield the War Office, which believed the Intelligence Department rather than the ‘ehief of the South African sources? : | Gome one else said: “Remember Lord | Woiseley’a recent speech, ‘We have been to the strength and grossly misinformed as resources of the Boers. The public naturally asks, ‘“‘Deceived by whom?’ GLOOMY CHRISTMAS DAYS Shadow of Reverses in South Africa Hangs Over Every English Home. | The IZNDON, Dec. 24.—England’s Christmas tide passed in intense gloom, though the ‘weather was exceptionally bright. The entire absence of news from the front cre- ates no confidence that any salutary change has come over the military situation, and deveiopments are waited with the keenest anxiety. The Queen's Christmas at Wind- sor was further darkened by the sorrow of the Salisburys at historic Hatfield, where young Lady Cranborn, the eldest son's charming wife, is hovering between life and death with pnewmonia. War Sec- retary Lansdowne remained in London and spent several hours at the War Office con- suiting with-Lord Wolseley. the army chief. me, © berlain, at his residence, at Highbury, near Birmingham, had only his wife and eee at the Christmas hoard, his son Aunsten having gone to Gi- braitar in the new cruiser Canopus. e Duke of Devonshire alone among the ministers, had a party at Chatsworth, where the private theatricals, with Miss Muriel Witson in the principal part, are to given to-day.

STANDARD OIL AND SUGAR MAG- NATES IN IT. Prediction Made That the Rockefellers, Havemeyers and Stillmans Will Soon Weld All Trusts. Into Ones — Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec, .26.—The skyscraper trust is the latest.. Its aim ig to Control and regulate New York office building rer.t- als, Back of this Mupesdous scheme are: James Stillman, president of the National City Bank, Henry O. Havemeyer, president of the ” ae bk ng 0} rederick P. Olcott, president of the Cen- tral Trust Company. ienry yg! ee ty president of the Cen- tral Realty, Bond, and Trust Company. Former Mayor Hugh J. Grant. Frederick Southack. George R. Read. All of the men are directors of the Al- liance Realty Company, the formal name of the new rental trust. Its directors include some of the most prcenane financiers in the country, ani t is a remarkable fact that Messrs.. Still- man, Havemeyer and other Standard Oil ‘factors who have exerted such a powerful influence over the money market of late, and who have been the recipients of tre- mendous government favors, are the prime movers in this scheme to control rental values in Manhattan. This great cosfibination of capital is plan- ning to control rentals just as the Standard Oil Frust controls oil, as the money trust, represented by the National City Bank, controis money, and as the Sugar Trust controls sugar. The Alliance Realty Company is looked upon aS the nucieus of this new office and business building monster, just as the orig- inal Havemeyer Company was the Sugar Trust in embryo, and as the first Rocke- feller Oll Company was the parent of the great Standard Oil Trust. With the same personnel controlling so many of the great trusts outside capitalists are predicting that the main industries of the whole country will soon be swallowed up by one great trust, and that dominated by the Rockefellers, the Stiilmans, the Havemeyers and their associates. PROPOSED IMPERIAL BANK. Now It Is Said That Gage Is to Be at Its Head. NDW YORK, Dec. %.—The statement is made by a merning paper that the pro- posed Imperial Bank, the dream of James Stillman, is in the process of creation. According to this statement the new bank ls to be the result of a consolidation of the National City Bank and the Hanover National Bank of New York, both con- troiled by the Rockefelier Money Trust, and a smaller lccal concern. This consoiidated institution is to be, ac- cording to present pians, the central money power of the United States, just as the Bank of Engiand, the Bank of France and. the Imperial Pank of Berlin are in their re¢ spective countries. Secretary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage, after his retirement from the Cabi- net. ig to becume the head of this bank. The National City Bank of New York is ractically the fiscal representative of the Inited States Government, through the favor of Secretary Gage. The closeness of this relation has been shown openly on several occasions. The City Bank acted for the Government in the transfer of the huge payments from the Pa- cific railroads to the Treasury, its inter- mediation preventing disturbance of the money market. The Treasury, acting alone, would have caused a shock to the mechan- ism of finance. It also was the fiscal agent of the United States in the payment of the $20,000,000 to Spain, under the terms of tue treaty of Paris, in payment for the Philippine Islands. More recently the Secretary of the Treas- ury has made it the place of first deposit for the internal revénue receipts of $1,000,- 000 a day, which he is diverting from the Treasury in order to prevent an accumula- tion there off®urplus funds necessary for the conduct of the people’s business. This transaction is not only profitable to the bank, but it gives it valuable prestige by advertising its peculiar relation to the Ad- ministration. A Washington paper here says: secretary Gage will go into the banking business at the close of his term as a Cab- inet officer. He has been offered a field in Chicago and New York, but it is fairly well understood that he will begin business as the head of some concern having con- nection with the National oy ! Bank of New York, and will eventually become the head of the latter bank. here fs a spirited rivalry between New York and Chic&zo for the favor of Mr. Gage. Imperialistic Bank Idea Not Popular in the West. WASHINGTON, D. C,, Dec. 26.—Secreta- ry Gage’s deposit of internal revenue collections in one New York bank does not please Western Congressmen, who are hearing by wire from their constituents. Bight States of the Mississippi Valley last year contributetd $143,000,000 of the $273 000,000 internal revenue collections. = were Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, dispatch to a morning hey Michigan, Wisconsin, lowa. It is proposed to transfer the money as fast as it is collected in these States, and to deposit it in New York. This is con- sidered by ‘these Western Representa- tives to be without the province of the Secretary of the Treasury. A very vigorous protest is being made by Western banks. The argument is strongly put that the money belongs where it {s raised until disbursed through the ordinary transactions of the Government.

There was another change in the manage- ment of the Imperial Theater Tuesday. Mr. J, C. Jannopouio, secretary of the Im- perial Theater Amusement Co., and lessee of the Imperial Theater Building, sold his gate in the theater to Col. John D. Hop- ns. He will continue to have charge of the remainder of the building. There will probably be no change in the policy of the theater, as Manager Gum- pertgz will continue in his present place The withdrawal of Mr. Jannopoule is un.- derstood to have resulted from differences of opinion between himseif and Col, Hop- kins as to the policy of the house. As Col. Hopkins remains it is naturally supposed that the present policy, which is his own, will continue in force. WESTERN TRAVELERS MEET. Annual Session of the National Asso- ciation Held Tuesday.

They may wonder to what lengths these officials will go to turn the new police law and the police force to their own and their friends’ personal advantage. When the police are assessed to lobby a spoils measure through the Legislature and for contingent fees to defend it in court a long step has been taken in the direction of boodleism and corrupt bossism in the Police Department. It appears that the police authorities do not look upon the police law as a public measure for the public welfare, but as a special measure devised and sustained for their special benefit. hp Lp i i A crusade against: women of bad repute will not of itself abate the wineroom evil. It will not prevent designing men using these places as traps for innocent females. The rooms must be made uas public as the saloon bars.

Anson oe and President H. D. Quin of the Ameri- can Aséociation have been in consultation here the past two days. They will tell nothing of their plans, but it is very evident from Anson’s talk that he has complete faith in the ability of him- self and his associates to run tthe Ameri- can Association and to place it on a level with the present National League. The only thing ‘Anson will say, however, is that something is going to drop in a few days. His confidence in the new agso- Clation appears to have increased since his recent visit to Baltimore, where he met McGraw and Robinson of the Orioles. It is more than likely the captain has some- thing to spring as coming from McGraw, and that he will calmly announce he has secured ‘big eupport in the East, with many ‘* Tommy Burns, who was the central figure at the St. Louls Fair Grounds meeting last summer has fallen into disrepute at San Francisco.

Another hig crowd journeyed to Athletic Park on Christmas afternoon to see the association football game between the All- Chicago and Cycling Club elevens. On the previous day the All-Chicagos played a tle game with the West Ends, and on this eccasion all hands expected them to beat the Cycling Club. But at last Dick Jarrett’s team appeared in its full strength and played a game that surprised its most ardent adm-rers. The Cycling Cjub, in fact, won the game after a most exciting struggle, and ‘by the close secote of 4 to 3. Barker of the All-Cbicagos started the bail rolling. He seored the first goal soon after play was commenced, and in the first half Govier put the ball through again for Chicago. While they were doing this the Cyclists scored one goai, Shea being the man to put the ball through. The a haif opened with the score 2 to 1 in favor of the visitors. But this time the St. Louis boys had the wind with them and they put the bail through the goal three times, while the visitors were able to score only once. This left the final score 4 to 3 in favor of the Cyc:ing Cub. Sheppard kicked the one goal for Chicago in the second half, and Comerford, Daly and Jarr¢tt in turn put the ball through in the second haif for St. Louis, The game was spirited and exciting throughout.

Therefore, it is fitting’ that this present Christmastide should overflow, theatrical- ly, with song. And it is particulariy ap- propriate that most of this melody should be light and bright. At least, let us say most of it is intended to be of that sort— for in all truthfulness, it must be recorded that not all of it fulfills intentions.

The Castle Square Company put on two, ‘Pinafore’ and “Cavalleria Rusticana,’’ at both matinee and night performanees, and the Bos- tonians, at the Olympic, gave us “The Ser- enade”’ in the afternoon, and the!ir new one, “The Smugglers," after the lights were on.

Only Seven Arrests Made During the a Christmas Period. + The Second Police District has established @ record. During the two holidays only | @even arrests ‘were made. The prisoners in ev instance were noley celebrants, who te Capt. Schroeder's efforts to keep th within the bounde of p ety. Ame the number were liam and ela and Edward Niemeyer. a ch with faakiig lond and #e TS creas ef the residence / of Mrs. Annie McEnnery at 2001 Keokuk street. The defendaots were arraigned in Judge Zimmerman’s court Tuesday morning. Mrs. McEunery testified that the young men called at her house at an unseemly hour Christm morning and rapped vigor- ously at her side door. When ehe opened the door she saw them removing the front gate, she says, Across the window they had placed a sign on which was the following inecription: “The Widow MiccEnnery begs to announce that she will keep open house on New Year’s Day. Don't come without your shillealees.”’ Now, Mrs. McEnnery avers she was deep- ly offended when she read that nonsense. “Tt is true,” she said to the judge, “that all my friends were going to serenade me, and I intended to invite the Bartel boys. But to think they should thus make fun of me is more than I can stand.’”’ His Honor smiled and said he agreed with her on that point, but he thought perhaps the boys mistook Christmas for New Year’ s. George Bartéd said all he did was to blow a tin horn and his brother Charley pounded the tom-tom near Mrs. Bartel’s window. Niemeyer declared the sign was there when they arrived, but in the darkness they thought, as did Judge Zimmerman, that it read Christmas instead of New Year's. In view of the fact that the disturbance was not serious the Judge said he would assess a fine of $%, whereat the fair com- plainant clapped her hands and turning to the prisoners said: “I told you what would happen if you didn’t go away.’’ “Flora Woods, come forward,” cried out the Marshal, and a Httle weazen-faced wom- an stepped before the bar. _ aeullty or not guilty?’ asked the clerk. “Guilty, of course,” replied Flora. ‘Didn't the Mayor say we could do anything we wanted to on Christmas? I gota little toddy from my mother-in-law, and because I made a grand stand play in front of my fellow’s house they arrested me.’ Flora is 21 years old. She admitted it wasn't her first offense, but she solemnly vowed she never drank save on holidays. “Wel?’ said Judge ‘Zimmerman, “you've desecrated Christmas, and I’ll fine you $5.” Peter Helman had a pair of discolored eyes. He didn’t know how he received the rainbow contusion and his case was laid “F, until December 28. “It was remarkably quiet,” said Capt. Schroeder, “in the southern part of the city. and there were not near as many revelers abroad, it seemed to me, as in previous rears. Bverybody was on his ibe- avior, and there was not a fight of any consequence.”’ JUDGE WISLIZENUS’ BUSY DAY. Over 100 Prisoners in the Dayton Street Police Court. Nearly 100 prisoners faced Justice Wis- lizenus when the Dayton Street Police Court opened Tuesday morning. A mot- ley array of malefactors they were, albeit the majority were only charged with over- indulgence in Christmas cheer. Al wages, all colors and both sexes were there. And their conduct was as varied as their garb, The old offender, hardened by for- mer experiences, laughed. He knew the Judge would deal jJeniently with the holl- day offense. But others, younger men and a Pew women, shame-facedly watched the crowd. They believed that every eye was on them, and that each spectator had come expressly to witness their shame. ‘They gazed resentfully at their persecutors, the ete a dense mass of blue, seated in “Oyez, Oyez,’"* the Marshal cried, and the court opened. The old offender’s judgment was correct. The justice dismissed the cases of “Plain drunk” with the admonition: Don’t repeat the offense, before next Christmas, anyhow.” Not a few of the prisoners and some wit- nesses appeared with their faces in ban- dages Christmas drunks are not always good-humored. Dan O’Conner, charged with disturbing the peace of William Hagerman, a butcher and saloonist at Taylor and ‘North Mar- Ket streets, was sewed up Monday night at the Dispensary. “You are pretty badly punished, Dan," the Judge said. ‘“‘I’ll stay your fine.” ° William Vorees, 1531 Franklin avenue, complainéd that his stepson, William Hicklyn, persisted in Le pie a row when- ever he paid him a sit The last visit occurred Christmas Day and a policeman took charge of Hicklyn. “You'll have to see your mother else- where, Hicklyn; I'll fine you $10 and stay the fine, rd eg | you keep awzy from the house,’’ Justice Wislizenus said. ‘‘Vorees has the right to say who comes to his house."’ Jake’ Cushback, an ex-soldier, said: “I was drunk, Judge, but I’ve had chills ever since the Spaniards shot at me on El Ca- ney, and I have to take something warm- ing.” The laugh that followed dismissed the case, Henry Smith was arrested, charged with turning in the alarm that brought the Fife Department to ‘Thirteenth and organ streets Monday afternoon. Four quarts of whisky were in his pockets. In the ab- sence of Witmesses his case was continued. Cullom Whittlesey’s Father.—Prof. J. W.

CITY -HOSPITAL CROWDED. Bullet and Stab Wounds, Contused Faces, Confused Brains and Brok- en Bones Innumerable. "Twas the day after Christmas And all through the place There was none without bandage On head or on face: For the hospital’s drag net Gathers all in Who, though good, may indulge In a holiday sin. The Christmas arrivals at the City Hos- pital may be divided into three classes, ac- cording to the three causes that bring them there. These are crime, indulgence and poverty. Most of the crime is what the doctors would call a secondary ee of indulgence. There are scalp wounds innumerable, contused faces and confused brains, and these are to be found in Division 1, which is known as the observation ward. The cells were crowded Tuesday. Then there are stab and bullet wounds, broken heads broken limbs, the out- come of brawls. In the third category are the unfortu- nates who have no homes and fed on the great Christian feast day. A few there are at the hospital who, on the day when the remainder of the world was rejoicing, were plunged in the depths of despondency and sought to end their troubles. he observation ward was never 50 crowded as it was Tuesday morning. Though the cells were pressed to their ca- pacity, there was not room for all the pa- tients, and half a dozen of them were kept under guard in the long corridor. There were some familiar faces, as, for instance, that of Kate Hurley, who boasts that she has spent every Christmas for the last five years behind the bars in the observation ward, as a result of her fond- ness for strong . Kate was the old- est of the alcoholic contingent. The pomneens was Arthur Elder of 112 South Sixteenth street. He is 5 years olc. On Christmas Day there was good cheer at the home of the boy’s father, Joseph Elder, a switchman. ‘Mhe boy was given beer, and ‘Miss Daisy Chester, who was at the ‘house, also partook of the eggnog. During the afternoon Daisy went with the boy out for a walk. ‘The police took them in charge. Two other youthful alcoholics are Barney Wehnert, 14 years old, of 1825 South Eighth street, and Henry Schaffner, 13, of 1338 Gay- ner avenue, Kast St. Louis. They are both newsboys and cousins. They were found by the police while intoxicated Monday afternoon. Over indulgence in whisky may result fatally for 14-year-old Harvey Marshall of 202 Center street. He is in an extremely serious condition. the grown-up alcoholics the most troublesome Christmas patient was James oGulre, a giant, who escaped from the St. Mary’s Infirmary Monday night a was recaptured by the police. It took five men to. get him into his cell. Daniel Callahan of 4126 Manchester ave- nue has a scalp wound and a tired feeling. He is lucky that he was not frozen to death. He was found lying on -the pave- ment at Talmage and Manchester avenue early Tuesday morning. James Whitmore who made the discovery, had him remove to the hospital. The physicians say if he had been exposed much longer he would have succumbed to the cold. Dan Mullens, who says he lives on Clinton Street, but cannot remember just where, will carry the marks of his celebration a long time. He fell forward and struck on his left eya, which will be bandaged for many days. His eye opener proved an eye closer. ~ ay ag ted Wahler, a waiter, living at 217 S@uth Broadway, fell on his face and flat- tened it against the pavement. Peter Mues, like Kate Hurley, is a holl- day regular. He reaches the hospital on Christmas, New Years, Fourth of uly and Thanksgiving, with unfailing regularity. James Warner and Monroe Gaddy have sealp wounds and are entered on the rec- ord as alcoholics. The oldest of the patients forced into the hospital Ls { poverty is Margaret Quinn, a white-hair woman, 61 years old. She was found wandering about the streets Monday night and was in a stupor caused by the cold when she reached the hospital. Tuesday morning she was stil] in a semi- torpor and unable to tell anything about herself except that her children were — and a ae seh armen @ most seriously injured patient at the hospital is William Hedley, whe has thir- teen stiletto wounds in his body. He re- ceived the injuries at the hands of twv Italians, at the corner of Sixth and Wash streets early Tuesday morning. His in- juries may result fatally. William H. Donaghy, a milkman living at 2371 Adams street, is in Ward 15, with a stab yound in his neck. All he knows about it is that he quarreled with a col- ored man about a dollar in a saloon. Michael Dwyer is another tient in the same ward who does not Cour exactly how he was hurt. He has a bullet wound in his arm. He thinks it was inflicted by aman named Hogan. Andrew Chelisock, who says he has no home, stepped from a Southern Electric car Monday night and alighted on his face, which is contused. John Henderson, colored. of 1315 Lin- den street, has a stab wound in his chest. The last he remembers is that he was quarreling with a white man at Twelfth and Linden streets. M. J. Nameschick of 1713 Market street slipped and fell near his home and dislo- eated his hip. Charles Kirkpatrick, a resident of the Ashley apartment house, sprained his ankle while going upstairs. FIVE CHILDREN WERE DRUNK. One of Them a Five-Year-Old Boy in Small Skirts. Five children under the influence of liquor were taken to the City Hospital on Christmas Day. One of them 1s in a seri- ous condition. The youngest of the five is a boy in skirts, 56-year-old Arthur Elder of 112 uth Sixteenth etreet. The boy was given strong drink by his parents, who yrotest they had no idea they were giving im enough to intoxicate him. The boy’s father is a switchman,. The poantly celebrated Christmas in its own peculiar way. There was a bowl of eggnog, a bottle of whisky and several pitchers of beer. Elder says he gave the y a hot toddy, several glasses of beer and a glass of port wine. Miss Daisy Chester, who lives in the same house, was present at the celebration, Dur- ing the afternoon she decided to visit a friend on Olive street and asked that the boy be permitted to accompany her. When the young woman and the boy reached’ the home of the girl’s friend the condition of both was apparent. Police were summoned and they were taken to the City Hospital. The child’s parents were arrested pending an investigation by the police. Daisy Ches- ter is held at the hospital as a prisoner. She is a d looking girl, far above the average of those confined in the observa- tion ward. The child was still stupid from the effects of drink Tuesday morning. Barney Wehnert, 14 years old, of 1898 South Eighth street, and this 13-year-old cousin, Henry Schaffner of East St. Louis, were found drunk at Thirteenth and Geyer ave- nue Monday evening. They were taken to the City Hospital on the same stretcher. At the City H ital Tuesday morning the boys sald they sold papers Monday morning and bought whisky with the proceeds. They secured a bottle and hed it filled at a saloon. The most seriously injured of the five is Harvey Marshall, a 14-year-old colored boy Hving at Center street. When he reached his home Monday night his parents me alarmed at his — and had him removed to the hospital. he boy was on the verge of sms ali night and is by no means out of danger. He says a man at a livery stable gave him whisky.

His costume, composed of light material, was covered with cotton to give it a tradi- tional snowy a rance. He went too near a lighted candle on the tree, which ignited the cotton in his costume. A panic ensued and had it nét been for the coolness of a man named Lewis, who leaped upon the platform and tore the burn- ing coat from oreheal, the affair would have been serious. Morehead was serious- ly burned about the face and hands, but it is thought he will recover. x For asthma, Wonderful ‘‘Orangeine;” for colds and grip, “Infallible Orangeine.”’ CONSUMPTIVES’ HOSPITAL.
