Dr. ba- ker, superintendent of St. Luke's Hospitai, said to-day regarding the condition of Ro- iand Reed that the actor underwent an operation for appendicitis. When pressed for a more definite statement of Mr. Reed's ailments, Dr. Baker said: “Tl must decline to say what complica- tions are connected with the disease for which the man was operated upom” Dr. Baker said that after the operation the patient went on very well and has rested comfortably, especially last night. He is still comfortable, said Dr. Baker, and he suffers only slight pain. When asked if Mr. Reed was sufiering from cancer of the stomach, Dr. Baker would not make any answer. Dr. Baker said that the unfavorable re- ports of the patient’s cordition have been exaggerations. These reports had in some manner reached the patient and somewhat depressed him, but his condition has not been dangerous at any time. EVIDENCE WAS TOO FLIMSY. Col.

Kenney Believes the Ancient Egyptians Were Familiar With the Present Scientific Knowledge. A St. Louis business man, or rather a St. Louisan, who, although a regularly or- Gained minister of the School of Divine Science, is engaged in commercial pursuits, has written, after two years faithful study of the Bible, a book in which he under- takes to prove that the Apocalypse of St. John is a physiological work, written in metaphorica! language, uncovering the fact , that the wonderful discoveries of the last few centuries relating to the body of man were well-known to the ancient Egyptians, The book, which is not yet pub.ished, is called ‘‘The Revelation of God."’ The author is C. T. Kenney, employed in a clerical capacity by a St. Louls manufacturing company, and residing at 625 North Séventh street, ‘rast St. Louis. Mr. Kenney is a native of Martinsburg, W. Va., but nas been a res.dent of this sec- . tion since 1877. Several years ago he began the atuay of divine science under Mrs. M. KE. Cramer of San Francisco, to which *tudy he devoted himseif until two years ago, when he was ordained a minister. Mr. Kenney is a thin, pale, nervous man, who looks every inch a student, He is deeply earnest concerning his book upon whitch e has been at work more than a year. The fourth ehapter of the Kook of Reve- jations, says Mr. Kenney, contains the key lo the secret. In this chapter, he says, the kingdom of heaven is iikened unto the hu ¥, and each vision of the apoca- paraphrase or different descrip- on of the body “tiovery syrapol used in Re velations,’ Bir.

Why Druggist Charles A. Schrier Dis- missed His Damage Suit. Druggist Charles A. Schrier has decided not to press his suit for $500 against the practical jokers who clipped off his beautl- ful black mustache on the jolly evening of Dec. 7. There were no finer mustachios around Taylor and Baston avenue than those pos- sessed by Druggist Schrier, and when he lost them, In a joke, he failed to see the fun and straightway sought e lawyer, who filed damage suits against John Linger, 4504 Easton avenue, and George M. Galloway, another neighbor. The case was docketed in Justice Spauld- ing’s court and was set for trial this week. But Druggist Schrier has repented of his wrath and instructed his attorney to stop proceedings Druggist Sehrier is uncommunicative as to this change of heart, but it Is true that a mustache is returning, with every promise of more luxuriant splendor than the one that is lost. True, it is 30 years younger than the other, but with the strength of youth it is rapidly overtaking the glory of its predecessor. It is now almost as long, and there are those who, not knowing of the calamity of Dec. 7. would not, from_ the dvruggist’'s appearance, suspect anything had happened to his upper lip Those who do krniow a at the joke have ceased their banterings and have apparen'- ly forgotten the incident. All this had a soothing effect on Druggist Schrier, and as he meditated over events and the coming of a new and better mus- tache his anger cooled and the old warmth and Galloway. So Wednesday, after his glass had again assured him he was not angry, he called upon his attorney and had the suit dis- missed at h's coat. hen he hunted up his friends with another happy “smile” and the joke was endod.

New Rate Will Go Into Effect Jan. 1, and There Will Be No Deviation From It. A barrel of flour, or cornmeal, or apples, or potatoes, or most anything good to eat is going to cost more in the year 1900 than it did in the year 1899, It’s all because of the fact that the barrel will be more highly valued in 8t. Louis than it ever was before. The price was advanced at a meeting of master coopers Wednesday afternoon and the advance will go into effect on Jan, 1. All of the St. Louis coopers have agreed to raise their prices and it is stated there will be no deviation from the scale fixed upon, The agreement reached at Wednesday afternoon's meeting was that hereafter, be- sinning Jan. 1, a uniform addition of 3 cents each should be made on all barrels of the class known to the trade as slack coop- erage This includes all light-weight, wooden- hooped barrels, such as are used to con- tain flour, vegetables and provisions. The price of whisky, wine and molasses bar- rels is not affected. Slack cooperage repewonts the bulk of — barre! output In Lou G. F. Meyer, nheubdcat of the St. Cooperase Co., presided at the meeting. One 6f the master Coopers who was pres- ent said to the Post-Dispatch Thursday: “We regarded this step as absolutely neces« sary for the protection of the trade. There has n a steady advance in the price of material for slack barrels, though tight poeparage is not much more expensive than it was formerly. Staves, hoops and heads cost more than they ever have. @ reason for this advance ts stated to be that timber is becoming scarce. Nearly all of the wood used tn light bar- rels comes from the North and Northwest and it is rapidly disappearing. In th country saw mills are springing up eve where and there is a constantly increasing demand for the timber for other uses.

LOUISIANA, Mo., Dec. 28.—The keynote at the banquets of the Pikers at Home and of the Daughtetrs of Pike County, last night, was advocacy of the World’s Fair of St. Louis. Nearly every speaker touched on the subject of the Fair, and indorsement of the netetrprise was unani- mous. The principal address in support of the Fair at the Pikers at Home banquet were David A.

Lou! las ROUGH MINER’S "8S GENEROUS WILL He Left $2000 to a. Farmer’s Wite Who Was Kind to Him 20 Years Ago, From the Seattle Times. When Frank Dinsmore died last Novem- ber in San Francisco he did not forget the Mrs. Alexander, wife of George Alex- ander, a Dungenness farmer, with whom he boarded 17 years prior when he was a poor prospector. Frank Dinsmore, best known as a mem- ber of the Yukon firm of Dinsmore, Spen- cer & MdPhee, was a rich miner. So when he came .to face death the kind'y ministra- tions of Mrs. Alexander were remembered. He drew up a will tn which*he bequeathed to Mrs. Alexander $2000 in goid, the pay- ment of which was made.to her Friday in the 6 igs Be of the Hotel Northern by Will- iam hee, the business partner, friend and cnanuiar of Dinsmore. The story of Dinsmore’sg death and the faithful execution of his wishes as e6xX- ressed in the will 7 “Bill’’ “fePhee, as e is familiarly called, is replete with pa- thetic interest. It carries with dt a story of honest*friendship, of loyalty, of love, of constancy and the devotion of man for man. Dinsmore came to know Mrs. Alexander ere after her residenec in Juneau, pagan nearly two decades ago. He lived fag the Alexanders’ home and appears to have been treated very much as one of the famiiy, though but a boarder. At all events, the many little ‘acts of kindness such as ohly gent'e and tender women can bestow were rcmembered the prospector who, after the departure of the Alexanders from Juneau to take up a home in this State, went intc the wilds of the Yukon to seck fortune. There he finally found it ut Circle City and at Forty Mile, but in greatest abundance in the famed Klondike, During these years Mrs. Alexander saw nothing of Dinsmore, though she heard with satisfaction of his successes from mu- tual friends whom she chanced to meet from the Klondike. And so when McPhee. the executor, opened the will, he found that Mrs. Alexander had been remcmbered and that a number of other bequests had been made by his friend and partner, though the bulk of the estate was left to Mre. Charles Dinsmore of Auburn, Me., Dinsmore’s aged mother. As a minor gift, Dinsmore willed $2000 to John Hughes, a veteran prospector with whom the tides of fortune had often run adversely. Poor Hughes never lived to enjoy the small fortune bequeathed him by his more fortunate friend. He died at Dawson a few days after Dinsmore crossed the bar and within es than a month Father Judge. a vete Catholic priest of to the extent of $800, also went to meet his maker. The bequests for both Father Judge and Hughes are to be given to their executors. Other small amounts to friends have already been paid, and a few days before Graham eought to put the | the presentation to Mrs. Alexander, the mails carried to Mrs. Dinsmore, the moth- er, a draft for $6000. Dinsmore displayed his confidence in Co eet by making him his executor without ds. The men were deeply attached in ~~ r friendship. Indeed, they could not ave been more eo had they been brothers. few evenings ago McPhee gave an illus- tration of the confidence each had in the other, reciting an incident in substantially these words: “We had been in partowren? = jong time, so one day Frank suggest that we have a settlement and see how we stood. ‘He had kept account of what he had per- sonally spent; IT had preservéd a memo- = of what I took, but no books were tlement I said: ‘Frank, you didn't nage uch when we began business, did “ ‘No, that’s right, Bi Ls fe replied, “‘and 2 sm aid 1,’ I continued.

NDW YORK, Dec. 28.~There is a strong possibility of war between the great life insurance companies with the beginning vf the new year. “The rébate compact,”’ which existed between them, and which served to bind them, together in a commu- nity of interest, has terminated, and has been followed by the abrogation of the agreement between the New York Life and the Bquitable Life under which the same agents acted for both companies within = tain territory.

Much Attention Shou!d Be Paid to This Important Room of the Dwelling. Next to bedrooms, kitchens are the most abused rooms in a house. People seem to think that any old sort of a room will do and any old thing good enough to be put in it. To my mind, a kitchen should be the room of a house. Much attention ‘should be paid to every little detail, and, above all, to light and ventilation. Everything should be built and placed so as to save st The kitchen walls should be painted white and be washable, the floor lincleum or hardwood and with a drain so ar that it may be flushed after it has been scrubbed. The range should be placed at one side of the room where plenty of light can be had and where an iron ventilator wil) be over it to carry out the steam.

He to'd his troubles to the bur- tender, who informed a policeman, who in turn summoned aid from the station house. Two detectives. whose names Carriere says he can’t remember, came to the saloon and took him to the police station at Dayton Bireet and Jefferson avenue. Here he re- perted the story of the robbery, and the two detectives forthwith led him through saloons of lower Morgan street with structions to point out the negro robbers if he couid see them. He failed to iden- tify the two highwaymen. The detectives, he says, left him to go home with a prom- ise that they weul send for him Wednes- Cay to meet them at the Four Courts. This they did not do. Late Wednesday after- noon Mr.. Carriere said he did not expect he ever would hear from his lost roll. Acting Chief of Detectives Smith laughed when told of Carriere’s story. He said no report of the allaged robbery had been Made at headcuarters. If two detectives had gone out to look for Carriere's missing money he would know of the fact. Another Argument against the plausibility of Mr. Carriere’s story, says Mr. Smith. is that no man gees for nearly 24 hours after be- ing robbed of a large sum without going in person to the Chief of Detectives.

FARM HAND OF NOBLE BIRTH Ludwig Von Werther of: Allenton the Son of an Attache of the German Emperor’s. Court. The death of Ludwig von Werther last Tuesday at the heme of Howard Elliston, wear Allenton, St. Louis County, has re- vealed the secret of the man’s life. Werther was known on'y as a farm-hand to all save Mr. Elliston. who had been an Episcopal minister in Australia 10 years oOo. From him-it has been lharned that ferther was the scion of an old family of the highest rank in Germany. He went to Australia, where he acquired dissolute TRD'ts and Was picked in Melbourne slums by the Episco al minisier. Later he came to Americi with Mr. Elliston and the two have lived near Allenten for two years. His father, Count. von Werther, who holds an office at the Emperor's court in Ber- Tin, has been notified of his death. ee Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup re- duces inflammation while children are teething.

Yet the opera, as a whole, was not badly sung. It was very uneven, parts of it were well done, and other parts were poor. Barnabee, of course, was eX-~ cellent, and John Dunsmure, as Will Scar- let, was more than pleasing, but Charles Hawkey, substituted, for no given reason, for MacDonald, was hardly satisfactory. He flatted badly at times in his singing, and was timid in his acting. Nor was Rush- worth equal to the fequirements of the title role. Frothingham as Friar Tuck was as unctuous and funny as one could wish, and the Guy of W. H. Fitzgerald did not belie the name. Marcia Van Dresser sang Alan-a-Dale. but she looked and acted the part better than she rendered it. Her “Oh, Promise Me'” was sung without the high notes, and even then was not well done. Grace Cain- eron substituted for Miss Bertram as Maid Marion, and Miss Lyons took her piace as Annabel very acceptably. The chorus work wae fine, Dut the songé that we have learned to like in this opera were disappointing, almost without excep- tion. So it can hardly be said that the Bostonians added anything to their reputa- tion by their performance Wednesday night, i? they did not detract from their usual standard of excellence. Perhaps, if they bore another name, the shortcomings would not have seemed so glaring, but we expect more :rom the Bos- tonians than we have ‘een getting this week, everything considered. Rose Coghlan, playing ‘“‘The White Heath- er’ to crowds at the Grand this week, will probably appear before the end of the sea- son in a comedy written for her especially by ‘her brother. the late Charles Coghian. He worked on this for some time before his death, and had just finished it when he was stricken. The play is now in the type- writer’s hands: as s00n as it is transcribed it will be read by Charles Frohman, and then work on it will begin, providing he approves it. This writing of a play for his talented sis- ter was one of the hobbies of Coghian’s life. He felt that she needed the proper vehicle for the exploitation of her abi ities, and she had none eince “Joycelin.’”’ So he determined to make one for her. Little is known of the drama, except that it is a costume piay and deals with a member of the nobility who, forced by nury to earn a livelihood, yet deterred therefrom %y fear of ostracism, leads a double life, as grandee and shopkeeper. Thig dual role is designed for Miss Cogh- lan, It is reported that Roland Reed is very ill: go ill, in fact, that he cannot recover. Cancer of the stomach is the trouble. He may last some days yet, the telegrams say, but death is certain in a short while at most. Some company took a portable steam fire engine into the opera house in Van Buren, Ark. this week, to use in a show. Sparks from it set the building on fire; the engine was inside, instead of out, and the flames prevented access to it. The building and the engine burned, with several other buildings, and now, no fire engine drama need put, that town on its map. The pleasure of witnessing a_ strong, clean, bright play, such as is “The Moth and the Flame,’”’ comes to one all too sel- dom in a season. Perhaps that’s why so many of those who saw the Kelcey-Shan- non company during its former visits to this city. in ‘this same play, are going so largely this week and viewing the per- formance at the Century. The finished act- ing of Mr. Kelcey, the beauty and grace of Miss Shannon, and the general excel- jence of the entire company, make the vis- its enjoyable as well as profitable. There is talk of another souvenir matinee Sat- urday. Most theatrical folk are superstitious about black cats. Manager Gumpertz is not, and Hopkins’ Theater rejoices in one which has Kept the house staff guessing. The stock company members declare that pussie is a comedy cat because of the urmusing things she dees. When ‘Camille”’ was playing tnere pussie waiked into the nouse and took up her quarters in the janitor’s room. She has been there ever since, except for short excursions. The janitor decided to name the visitor ‘Ca- mille,’"’ in honor of the play on when she made her advent. On the second night after her visit Ca- mille came near causing a panic by chas- ing an imaginary rat through the audience. Women who saw the black streak vanish- ing up the aisle promptly gathered their skirts about their ankles and shrieked. On the next night, pussie overate herself gnd had an amateur fit in the janitor’s room, while the janitor took to the top of the clothes rack. e fit, however, proved to be only the result of tndigestion, and “amille was all right in a few seconds, Christmas afternoon Camille decided to go on the stage. During the first act she nearly broke up the scene by getting un- der Mr, Freeman's feet and folllowing Lit- tle Lord Faunticroy about. But with the exception of Camille’s es- capades there has been no ill-luck in the house since her advent. For that reason Manager Gumpertz has decided that her vagaries are worth enduring. “Jack and the Bean Stalk’ will be the New Year's attraction at the Grand, open- ing with tine matinee of Sunday and play- ing a special matinee on Monday, the n- ing of the year, in addition to the regular ones of Wednesday and Saturday.

The score and the book have arrived, and the entire company is already studying up on Neapoli- tan low life. Incidentally, it may be mentioned, that all records were broken at the Music Hail matinee Wednesday afternoon. The house was sold out before the curtain rose and standing room tickets were sold to many, while many more were turned away. The popularity of the double bill could not have been better attested. A couple of the gods of the gallery, from up in the Kerry Patch precincts, were studying out elowly, letter by letter, the other day, one of the announcements of the Rose Coghlan company, which is present- ing “The White "xeather’ at the Grand Opera House during this week of Christ- mas. One of the youngsters caught at the name of Sullivan, as one that he did not need to spell out. It was one of the house- hold ones in his family. Of course, he umped at the conclusion that it was John .. the Boston boy who for so long held the championship in the heavyweight class. “‘Won’er who dat played-out guy’s goin’ ter put his dooks up ’gainst?’’ he remarked, questioningly. *“Mebbe it’s dat feller Sharkey,’’ swered the other. “Sharkey t’ell,’’ said the other, wn rinag tee A ‘“‘He wouldn't have nothin’ ter do with Sully after his mix-up wif Jeffries.”’ A man who overheard part of the con- versation told the boys that the Sullivan was not the onee redoubtable John L., but John T.

Little Alberta Noxon, who is playing Fauntleroy this week at Hopkins’ Theater with great success, is a St. Louis girl who has had several years’ training upon the stage. She is a daughter of Mrs. Libby Noxon, who will be remembered as a member of several of the stock companies in this city some years ago. Mrs. Noxon is a daughter of the we.l-known scenic artist of the same name. Little Alberta is 9 years old, and when she is not engaged is a pupil at the Lincoln School. Two year ago Col, Hopkins engaged her to play ec ild arts in his company, and 60 favorable an mpression did she make that she was cast in a number of plays which could not have been put on had it not been for the little girl's ability.

MATTIE SOUTHWELL Little Mattie Southwell, the midship mite in the production of H. M. 8. Pinafore at Music Hall this week, is the daughter of Resident Manager C. M. Southwell of the Castle Square Opera Company, who is pardonably proud of the success she is scori with her graceful ways and ini- mitable dancing of the hornpipe. She has had other stage experience, appearing as Little Mary in “The Ensign,’’ in ‘Olivette’’ and a dozen others. Not. only is ghe a dancer, but she sings coon songs. Miss Mattie makes her “coon” a ‘’spect- abie’’ one, but he is none the less funny for.that. Her work in the dramatic field has been very good for a child of her years. It is characterized not only by feeling, but by elocution far beyond her youth, while her grace is at all times per- fect. She is a student, too, and is keeping up with her preparation for the future under the careful guidance of a father and 5 ae whose pride in her is justifi- able. Then she goes out as a soubrette in a farce-comedy in this country. The Williams and Walker company comes to the Columbia next. week in a musical farce called ‘“The Policy Players.”’ There are 62 negro singers, dancers and specialty artiste in the aggregation, and there will be enough show, white and black—it will not be a total eclipse—to make the per- — continuous from 1 ti!l 10:30, as usual, In making his studies for ‘“*“A Tale of Two Cities,’’ Charles Dickens visited Paris in 1847 and again in 1857, and went over the ground, viewing the city and its surrond- ings and studying the subject of the Revo- lution thoroughly from original documents.

Mrs. Fiske has just closed the most successful engagement she has ever had in New York, at the Fifth Avenue Theater. Her play is “Becky Sharp,”’ based on Thackeray’s “Vanity Fair.”’ Mrs. Fiske is at home any place in St. Louis, but will be particularly so on the stage of the Grand, where she won so many tri- umphs as Minn‘e Maddern. during the management of the late John W, Norton. Harry Morris’ burlesquers, entitled ‘“The Twentieth Century Maids,” hold daily aft- ernoon and evening levees at the Standard this week. Mr. Morris’ novelties include a burlesque upon one of the latest plays, “Cyrano.” ——— Miss Francesca Redding, who is putting on a little comedy at the Columbia this week, claims to have been the first artist of the legitimate stage to desert that branch of the profession for vaudeville.

In view of the probability of this meeting a resolution was pamees that the gathering be held in Joplin. ansas City was objected to on the ground that independent telephone lines were op- posed by officials of the city. St. Louis was considered more ney to independent lines than Kansas City, but the assurance of President Bassom of the Joplin Tele- phone Co. that those who may attend that epaeres meeting would be entertained in : 3 city without cost saved the day for oplin. Nothing more definite was done in the movement to connect all the small ex- changes throughout the State than to ap- point a committee to select a standard spec- ification. The committee was appointed at the afternoon session of Wednesday, and the work before it is expected to require about three months’ time. Mr. Gary, Secretary of the Association, stated independent companies hoped to se- cure a long distance service for their sub- scribers during the year. John W.

Swiftly and surely the Standard Oil millionaires are gain- ing control of the business of the country, _ it was shown in Wednesday's Post-Dispatch that this syndicate now controls banking houses in New York with deposits of $309,947,410 or 41.86 per cent of the total in New York associated banks, and loans of $268,714,990 or 39.90 per cent of the total]. The power of the combine cannot be overestimated. It Is a menace to every business firm and corporation in the country. The loan market is what the syndicate chooses to make it, and every borrower must accept what terms it makes. * Rates can be raised or lowered at the will of this monopoly, or loans withheld altogether. The credit of the strongest houses is exposed to attack. Recent events show that such attacks are likely to be made at any time and arg pretty sure to be successful. To fight the syndicate is to in- vite destruction. Worst of all and most significant is the fact that the Rockefellers and the Secretary of the Treasury are thick as three in a bed. The people’s money is placed at the disposal of the combine, to be used to promote the fortunes of the syndicate at the expense of the people themselves. It is time for every citizen, rich or poor, to think of this situation, + &> a rw If Mr. McKinley and all the Cabinet approve the turning over of the Government’s millions to the Standard Oil octo- pus, a cuckoo Congress can, hardly be expected to do better. However, Cabinet officials are mere clerks of the President and they would be dismissed were they to oppose him. Con- gress is not so dependent upon the White House. Congressman Mercer of Omaha finds that the World’s Fair of 1903 in St. Louis has already become known all over Eu- rope, and that European exhibitors are expecting to take part in it. No more time should be lost in completing the subscription which is to start it. eo ~~ SS i i 4 If Quay is only four votes short of enough to seat him, it is a lamentable fact.

By the side of the Standard Oil octopus all the other octo- puses look like tadpoles. Don’t let the debate upon the beginning of the new cen- tury be carried into the new century. Give me the money of a country and I care not who makes its songs or its laws—Rockefeller’s Musings. Mr. McKinley has a pair of black horses, a pair of bays and a pair of sorrels. Is he trying to discourage the auto. mobile? Uncle Paul is indeed a great man. He ships American corn in British vessels and otherwise provides for the preservation of his republic. ‘The Dutchmen in South Africa who are reported ‘on the fence” are likely soon to be behind the rocks, -picking off British officers and other conspicuous heroes. The Hindoo astrologers say that the planets are the cause of Britain’s failures in Africa. It is a repetition of the song of the Hebrew maidens: “And the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.” The woman hanged in Canada yesterday was the coolest person at the scaffold except the hangman himself. It is sometimes asserted that women have more courage than men. Perhaps the hangman in this case would have been less cool had he been in the woman’s place. Should the climate of Missouri ever be reconstructed, De- cember, January, July and August ought to be omitted. Were it not for the extremes that are possible in these months, we should have a vast amount of comfért. Still, they are not so bad here as in a number of other States. — a ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Housework and pretty hands are not in- compatible, though many women believe they are, Women can do all their own work and keep nice-looking hands if they are will- ing to give the time and attention necessary for the purpose. You can’t have’ nice-looking hands by caring for them by spasms. First, last and every time keep them clean. Have a box of oatmeal handy, and after scrubbing the hands (every woman can have a first-class hand scrubbing brush now for 5 cents) dip them into the oatmeal.

Use the orange-wood stick, sharpened to a point, to clean the nails. Dip the stick In vinegar and pass it around under the nail to take the grime away and remove discol- orations. Cut the nalls as smoothly as you can, following the shape of the finger ends. Don’t try to have pointed finger nails if you have round fingers. If you want your nails to have a polish, rub them up once in a while with a little pumice-stone pulverized, Don’t use pumice too often, as it will wear out the nails. If your hands are rough at night take a pair of gloves, cut off the finger tips and perforate the palms. At night wash your hands thoroughly, dry them carefully, rub some of the freshened butter described yesterday well into the backs of the hands and put on the gloves.

"oT AH LOUD burst of applause greeted the A famous einger Olympia as she fin- ished the queen’s song at the Gaiety Theater. Of Olympia’s origin nothing was known, though there were many stories circulating about her. The one which gained most general credence portrayed her as a great lady who had been drawn irresistibly from a high social position to the stage, and thereupon disowned by her family. The only certainty feit about her was that her reputation was irreproachable and that she kept the scores of adorers constantly ro- tating about her at a respectful distance. When the song ended the queen retired to a throne to receive the homage of the subjects in the gS It was a sumptuous procession whic —— before her in gor- geous costume. Dach subject as he passed his queen stopped, bowed and then moved the number had excited her interest and her sympathy. He seemed different from the others; his bearing was dignified, his face refined, his manners perfect. That he had suffered some misfortune she felt as sure as that he was worthy of something better than a humble part in a fairy opera. When hangs play was over she pointed him t to the manager. Who ise that man?’ she asked. “A poor devil. named Chate.ain,” replied the manager. ““There are hundreds like him, doing this kind of work for three francs a day.”’ The manager was mistaken. His “poor devil Chatelain’ was in reality a Spanish entleman named Juan iguez de Pena- or. Born in Madrid, raised in the m.dst of luxury, he had inherited at his pai: ents’ death an enormous fortune. Through bad management and extrava- gance this had graduaily been reduced until only a small part remained. This Juan thought to use in the only way he knew as a means of redeeming the whoie, at the famins table, and here he lost ail that was ft to him. - It was at this time and under these cir- cumstances that he fell in love with Olym- sxquisite piece of jewelry—a heart of yearle—and from the moment his eyes fel ipon it he had longed to possess it in order resent it to his queen as a token of + ISEGin, A HEART OF PEARLS. people stood looking at all sorts of beau- tiful things displayed by the jeweler. The heart of pearis was pushed a littie eway from the others; the people were not looking his way; his hand stole out and slowly moved toward the cherished object. He turned cautiously to make sure he was unobserved and looked straight into the face of Olympia, the singer, who was stand- ing just behind him. “I saw you and followed you in,” she con- tinued. “I have wanted to speak to you for a very long time. I am sure that you can find something better than your pres- ent position at the Gaiety. If you will take my card to Roberts, the theatrica] agent, I am sure he can find you something more suited to you,” and she drew a card from her pocketbook and wrote an address on it = a little gold pencil and handed it to He managed to stammer his thanks. and she left him without k had saved him ee nowing what she eep not come to Juan that night.

TO BETTER DEFINE A VAGRANT. mts Endeavoring to Get To- ther and Check the Prevalence . of Crime This Winter i, a in St. Louis. a 8 ‘presentation in the Post-Dispatch y of a lst of robberies recently S Gpelites with the startling statement from Acting Chief of Detectives Smith that the city is “in the grip of crimi- nals,” has aroused the community to the fact that a serious state of affairs ex‘sts in the c.ty. How to rid the ci.y of thieves Or at least check the work of thieves is the current topic of discussion. Acting Chief of Detectives Smith says it is the duty of his department to clear the eity of thieves. But he declares the de- partment ~an not discharge this duty w.th- “ut @ new ordinance that will prohibit pro- essional thieves living in St. Louis, or an enterpretation of the ex.sting vagrancy Ordinances d.fferent from that accepted and applied by Judge Sidener of the rirst District Police Court.

He sup- iemented this with the statement thut e might pees an opinion ijater. Acting Chief of Deteciives Smith stated ednesday in the Post-Dispatch that tne o.ice Courts were hampering the work of the police by their interpretations of ordi- Mances which allowed known criminais to remain in the city. Judge George UJ. | Sidener of the First Distr.ct Potice Court replied to this Thursday, in an interview Siven the Post-D.spatch, with the state- ment that the police department did not make the best use of i.s powers. He also charged that certain indiv.dual lice of- rs were protect. ng c.iminals of the class known as “panei-workers,’ and even em- loyed counsel to defend the criminals re- erred to. He made the general statement that he was administering law and justice in his court as it was la'd down for him in the ordinances, and that he did not propose to change the construction ‘he had paced on the ordinances defining vagrancy and id.ing. “They bring in a lot of peop.e and ex- aie me to send them out of town for ray when the defendants are not gutity ing,”’ said Judge Sidener, ‘I cannot She a man for idl ng when he has a set- tled place of ebode and has visible means of support.

Hundreds of Worthy Persons in Dire Need of Puel. The ladies of the Central Mission, 816 North Eleventh street, who have furnished fuel to scores of worthy poor persons dur- ing the recent severe weather, have ex- hausted their opely and ask the charitable public to aid them. The Central Mission distributes donated food and clothing among the destitute per- sons Whose casés have been investigated by Mrs, Sue Owens, the mission's agent. In this way the mission aids the vortny poor and prevents imposition. Special attention is given to widoOWs and destitute persons, “We have distributed | all the coal we had,”’ said Mrs. Owens, “and many ple are now without a bit of fuel in the house. I know of some who are even breaking up their scanty furniture to keep from freez- ing. A singie bushel of would be a godsend to those unfortunate samibes. We especially desire contributions of coal, for it is a singular fact that often the ‘poor can get food and clothing much easier than fuel. We need clothing, too. There are thousands of garrets in St. Louis that are filled with cast-off clothes. If these gar- rets were emptied and the contents sent to our mission, 816 North Bleventh, it would bring comfort to many a poor person, who, py ge clad, must face the winter ohong 7 Soiled and worn bedding is needed, 0o,”’ The Central Mission its located in that part of the city where poverty is fiercest, and the mission is acquaint with more ounce of want than they have means to relieve, Money for the coal fund can be sent di- rect to the mission, or an order for an quantit of coal can be whh a ° er, subject to the mission's orders.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALLL. Ricksteiger, the West Ends Great Play- er, on the Disabled List. On account of the Association Football League meeting having been held last Tues- day night, the West End’s regular team meeting will be held Friday night at their meeting rooms, Vandeventer avenue and North Market street. All members are re- quested to be present. Ricksteiger, the great full back of the West Ends, will pravably not be able to lay for several weeks on account of turn- ng on his ankle In last Sunday’s game against Chicago. Connie Reed, the West End’s crack center forward, is also on the hospital list of the West Ends. The absence of two such etars as Rickstelger and Reed will not weaken the team very much, as the youngsters, Stolle, Quigley and Willie Corcoran, are in fine condition to fill their places. The Cc. B. C.s and the West Ends are scheduled for next Sunday at Athietic Park. This game will no doubt be very interesting, as the ©. B. C.s have been greatiy strengthened with such players as McLaughlin, Furlong, Gallagher, Kerwin and Noonan, Gallagher is the etar haif hack who played al! of this season in the leading Bastern cities. REFEREE GEORGE SILER. He Talks of the Jeffries and Sharkey Mill While Facing the Pictures. George Siler, the famous referee, sat by the ‘Post-Dispatch man Tuesday afternoon, and while the Sherkey-Jeffries pictures were being shown at the Coliseum he toid many little stories about that famous battle that are not visible to the naked eye. “Do you see there,” said Siler, ‘‘where Jeffries has Sharkey around the neck?- Well, at that point Sharkey is gers *‘Let go of me or I'll knock your head off.’ ‘Those were about the only words ad- dressed by one man to the: other while the 'battie was in progress. “Often I would say to the men, ‘Let go and fight fair,’ and,.they would anewer like schoolboys, ‘It’s him, and he won't let go of me.’ “Do you sce me there talking to Ghar- key in his corner? Well, Jeffries has com- plained that he is hitting too low in the amie and I am warning Sharkey not.to o it. “Do you see that man in the right hand corner, holding a fan over Jeffries? Well. O’ Rourke, Sharkey’s second, objects to his ag there, and I order him away and illy Brady takes the fan in his place. ‘They say that Sharkey’s rib was broken in the 16 th round. I think he was hurt later on than tha. After the 18th round I noticed that Sharkey instead of throwing his left shoulder into Jeffries went in with his right. His left side was probably hurt- ing him then, and he was boring in with his right to save his left. He was probably hurt in the 18th round. “Do you see where I walk over to that far side and take a drink out of that dark bottle. Well, at that stage I was sick at my stomach from the effects of the fearful heat and the liquor straightened me out. The heat was something terrific, and then ou know an old fat fellow like me was not n as good shape to stand it as two yaung giants like Sharkey and Jeffries.”’ MOULTON THE FAMOUS TRAINER. He Tells of Stirring Events on the Cinder Path. F4l Moulton, who trained Harry Johnson, Harry Bethune and other once famous foot, racers, the other day told stories of the crooked foot racing which was done all over the land a few years ago. Said Moulton to a lot of friends: “The first race I ever ran which was not on the square was forced on me. It was about the time when the legitimate sport thon waning. I was then in Philadeiphia. Jack Kehoe, afterward hanged, was the king of the Molly Maguires, who were ter- rorizing the mining towns of Pennsylva- nia. He sent for me to come and run some races. I did so, and won several events, and was well paid. Finally 1 was matched against a man whom I knew I couid beat, and was surprised at the ‘sucker’ money being bet on my opponent. This was ex- ae the day before the race, when Ke- oe came to me and said that I must lose. There was no other way out of ft, and I thought pretty wel of my life, so my op- ponent won that race.’’ “Yes, I have had some narrow escapes. One of these was at Fort Worth, Tex., be- fore there was a railroad there. Fort Worth and Cleburns were rival towns, but the sprinter of the former always managed to win. Accordingly the Cleburns people were looking for revenge and picked me up. I was entered under an assuined name. I went there, and the betting was very heavy. Even the sheriff and his nag | 4 were in the know and wagered on me. f course | won from the Fort Worth wonder and c.eared up $2100 as my the cattlemen to fill up on there were oh pe ag presentiy .oey began to shoot out the lights in the most prominen: saloon in town, a favorite habit when trouble was brewing. That was cue enough for me. The sher.ff got me a team wf horses and I rode across the prairie on a dead run to Dallas, where I took a train.”’ Moulton’s greatest succers among athletes is with the sprinters. He ‘brought out Johnny Crum, ards and others of note. He is a great mirer of Stages and thinks the latter Ras the best bunch of runners in the West For that reason be says he is giad not to, pre- pare a team to compete against him at the collegiate games next spring, regarding de- feat as almost certain. a ee 5 Ri x a P “ggg eh cae sy teh » . ar a i = oe i fe a ye Pa od i a . * ped hn rs : aybury, Kraenziein, Rich-« TIPS FROM THE TURF. Still Talk of a Fight Among the Chas- ers for the Old Circuit. There is still talk of a turf war between those cities wanting a short meeting and those favoring long meetings like those held now at Chicago, San Francisco and Bt. Louis. A prominent turfman of St. Louis figures out the vote in the turf congress on the circuit plan as follows: | | For—New Louisville Jockey Club, Latonia Jockey Club of Cincinnati, Queen City Jockey Club of Newport, Crescent City Jockey of New Orleans, Western Turf As- sociation at Tanforan, Kentucky Associa- tion of Lexington, Tennessee Breeders’ As- sociation of Nashville, Pac fic Coast Jockey Ciub at Ingleside and the Cincinnati Live Stock and Driving Park Company—%. Against—Harlem Jockey Ciub of Chicago, Chicago Jockey Club, St. Louis Jockey Club, Washington Park Club of Chicago—4. Neutral—New Memphis Jockey Club, Hignland Park Club of Detroit, Arkansas Jockey Club of Little Rock—3. It looks from the above as though the circuit plan followers would win out iff it came to a vote, but suppose they should, wou:d Chicago and St. Louis submit to any- thing of the kind. On the contrary would they not likely tell the circuit chasers to go to and do business on their own hook. When Jockey Clawson decided to winter at New Orleans his friends predicted that he would equil, if he did not excel, O’Con- nor’s great record of last winter. Go far re- eults have failed to justify these predic- tions, in fact he is a 20 to 1 shot for that purse of $100 in gold offered by the asso- ciation at New Orleans for the rider head- ing the list of winning jockies at thé close of the season. Jockey Wallie Frost, who was injured while riding Dr. Withrow at New Orleans a few days ago, is recovering rapidly and will likely be abcut soon, The fifth race et Oakland on Thursday promises to be the most interesting event on the Oakland card. The entries are: Timemaker 110 Lothian Rosormonde The fourth race at New Orleans on Thursday is a handicap at a mile, with these starters: *Fcrbush eeeeves Dissolute Miss Mae Day.... 89 “Strangest.. 9 Laureate ..... Deyo .... Jolly Roger .......102 Al Fresco “Couple Forbush and Strangest as J. H. Smith’s entry. The third race at Oakland, Wednesday, was at a mile and it was captured by Bar- ney Schreiber’s big 3-year-old Stuttgart. He went the mile in 1:41, Curley Brown's Gold D’Or, a 2-year-old, won the six furiong handicap at New Or- leans, Wednesday, from Himtime. They were equal favorites in the betting. Starter Ferguson is doing some bad starting at San Francisco these days, leav- ing some well-played horses at the post nearly every day. M. K. Kittleman’s horses have reached Oakland from New York in good shape. E. C. Hopper, associate judge at Oak- land, is coming East to attend the forth- coming meeting of the Turf Congress, which promises to be such a lively affair. Billy Barrick won $20,000 on Trillo at New Orleans Thursday. Orme is the leading winning sire of the ast season. Senastion is second, and St. imon third. The Hon. W. C. Whitney’s good filly Killashandra, who ts in charge of P. Wim- mer, was fired last week by Dr. Harthill, and has been turned out on the farm of Hiram Scroggin. eee To Ladies Obliged to Use a Stimulant, Hunter Baltimore Rye is Recommended Because ef its Absolute Purity, Gentile Mellowness and Great Age. Endorsed by Leading Physicians EAST ST. LOUVIS-BELLEVILLE. Jake Bene Will Attend the Mesting in the Interest of the Over-the-River Combination. Jake Bene, who is going to put a team for East St. Louis and Belleville in the In- diana-Illino's League, says that that or- ganization will hold a meeting at Decatur, Ill., on January 1. _ Mr. Bene says that at that meeting the circuit of his League will be completed, and that the cities expected to be repre- sented are Decatur, Springfield, Jackson- ville, Bloomington, East St. Lou:-s, Quincy, Peoria and Terre Haute. According to Mr, Bene’s plan the Hast St. Louis-BeLeviilé team will play its games at a park to be located midway be- tween East St. Louis and Belleville. The latter city used to support a very good professional team, and with East St. Louis and Belleville both interested in the new venture, it can hardly fail to be a w:n- ner from the start. Mr. Bene has the faculty of always get- ting a winning team together, and no mat- tetr what company he has traveled in in the past the team under his management has always fin.shed well up in front. He will take several of the best of the local players with him in his latest venture, and will, in fact, draw the most of his talent from this direction. At Louisville on Friday night a mass meeting of baseball enthusiasts will be held at Larry Gatto’s. The meeting is to be held for the purpose of organizing a base- ball association that is to have nothing to do with the National League or syndicate baseball methods. Talking about what is wanted in the base- ball line, a well-known Eastern writer says: “What.is wanted—and nobody better knows it than Mr. Brush and his associ- ates—is two leagues or associations of as nearly equal power and influence as 16 possible. They may work independently or under a national agreement, to which they must both be parties of the first part. Two organizations of this kind would rekindle the flagging interest throughout the coun- try, and in a year or two restore to the game the prestige it enjoyed previous to the Players’ League movement. The news- paper partisans of the two organizations would have a chance to write something about baseball and baseball players instead of retailing the dirty practices of the mag- nates in their relations with one another. At the recent meeting of the League there were newspaper men present from every “ity in the League circuit. The majority of tiem were there for a week, and in that time aot one of them sent out © lines of news concerning the artistic side of the national ame. They’ were mere purveyors of scan- dal—and scandal of a kind that smelled to heaven.” The Detroit Free Press man, anent the situation in the baseball world, says: “There is yet a chance of a rival league taking the fleld. e major League mag- nates would like to push Brooklyn off the baseball map, and if Hanlon and his busi- ness associates are firm in their refusal to pay the fine imposed in the Wrigley case, a split-up is in sight. Should it come to such an issue,,the Hanlon crowd would join hands with the St. Louis syndicate, Anson in Chicagé and the Detroit men who stand ready to BDaeK a baseball club in any new league, and a baseball war would be the inevitable result. The mere presence of Hanlon and Anson would be a boom to the rival organization and no difficulty would be experienced in signing plenty of high-class players. With Brooklyn, Balti- more, Philadelphia and Washington in the East and Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit and ‘Milwaukee in the West, a strong circuit could be formed, and since so many threats have been made against the Brooklyn Club, if the owners have the courage to hold such a proposition as the new league pos- sibilities before ‘the eyes of the reform- ers, it is quite sieges A that the point will be gained as competition is not desired, no matter what the cost of preventing such a calamity, for as such it is viewed by the monopolists of the game.”’ John T. Brush of Cincinnati is said to be after George Davis, the shortstop of the New York Club. PROFESSIONAL PILLIARDISTS. They May Play for World’s Champion- ship at Paris Exposition. The most famous knights of the cue will meet in a tournament for the championship of the world at the Paris Exposition. The manufacturers of bill-ard tables are mak- ing arrangements for the contest. There is at present a little difficulty in regard to the make of the table to be used. This matter will eventually be sattled, The manufacturers will invite the follow- ing leaders in profess onal billiards to com- ete in the tournament: Vigneaux, Beau lot, Veaux and Givlein of France; Albert Garnier, the champion of Belgium; John Roberts, the English champion, and the American experts, Slosson and Schaefer. There is not the slightest doubt that the Americans will consent to compete. In fact, they have already intimated as much. This is one of the reasons for Slosson’s re- luctance to engage ‘n a match with Schaef- er at the present time. * As a result of the dhallange issued by Jake Schaefer on Wednesday and ignored by George Slosson, the two top-notch bil- liardists are now engaged in saying things about each other. ‘the “Student” says that Jake is bliffing and his challenge is absurd. On the other hand the ‘‘Wizard’”’ says that George is afraid of him, but that his old-time rival may wish to play sga.nst an “unknown” that Jake will back for from $500 to $1000. The ears between the bi'liard players has developed that the leading manufac- turers of billiard tools have been negotiat- ing the possibilities of holding an interna- tional ‘tournament at Paris during the Ex- position. Those who know just how far the matter has progressed say that now there is the most intense rivalry among the cushion makers, and each is holding out for the exclusive use of his patent in the tourney. It seems probable, however, that this may be amicably adjusted. While the war is now at its height be- tween Slosson and Schaeffer, who has rm- cently moved to New York from Chicago, it was rumored that another Chicagoan, “Pop” Anson, was looking about for a room in the neighborheod of Broadway and Forty-second street, Anson is reported to be in partnership with Will Mussey, a roomkeeper in Chi- eago, and in the event of a suitable place being found Anson will look after’ the New York end of the business while Mussey continues the management of their inter- ests in the West.
