Charles Dilke is an intellectual giant, and For the Coming Year. probably the ablest man in Emgland to-day, and certainly the brightest particular star of the men . rw of the most advanced ideas. Oa Thursday last the Post-Dispatch cabled a request to the Right Honorable Sir Charles Dilke,. Barth, M. P, for B review of the international outlook for the year 1900. Sir Charles, whose authority as an expert on international affairs fecognized as sécond to that of'no livmg European statesman, has cabled his reply in the following article: ‘To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. a, z DNDON, Vec. 30.—The Post-Dispatch asks me to give my | of the international outlook for Eutope and America for year 1900.

If the Japanese believed that Russia alone would be before them they woudl attack. But while a hint from Germany that she would balance France would set them in motion, no such hint has been received. On the contrary, the Japanese believe that the German Emperor would create once more that triple alliance of Rus- sia, France and Germany against them which checked them in their victorious career at the end of thelr war with China. Iam _ therefore, persuaded that Japan will not move, and that, as in Newfoundland, so upon the other side of+the Northern Hemisphere, danger will be escaped during the new year. There is reason to suppose that the secret i eral times referred to in Parliament between this ntry and Germany concerned a hypothetical state ‘of things which has not arisen. In my opinion ft is not likely to arise. In the next place it is obvious that this country, having been worsted in formal arbitration on her claim to Delagoa Bay, could not seize it.

DILEE. q _ DILKE MAY BE NEXT MINISTER OF WAR. ’ {national defense the opinion in London is that there is certain to be a demand that he be made War Secretary. The Queen’s personal objection to accepting him as a Minister could not be sustained if circumstances of imperial emergency ensue. Queen Victoria’s objection to Dilke arises from his connection with the “Crawford scandal,” which, for a time, took him out of public life. ; Ditke entered Parliament when he was only 25, de- feating “Bull. Run” Russell, and even at that early age was reckoned the best informed man on international affairs in that body. Special Cable to the Post-Dispaten.

Sergeant Thompson was also mystified. ‘“‘Have you not»just been mar- ried to this man?” he demanded of the bride. She looked at the bridegroom and slowly shook her head. Welsh clutched at the railing in front of the sergeant’s desk to save himself from falling. “Sergeant,” -he pleaded, “I must be go- ing crazy. Thy, we just left the church and the ring is on her finger. Dearie, don’t you know me? Again a glassy stare. The bridegroom’s earnestness- so im- pressed the sergeant that he sent a mes- senger to the church to make inquiries. While the messenger was on his errand the bride rubbed her eyes, uttered a loud ery of joy and rushed into the arms of phe. bridegroom, who was tearing at his “O, Edward, darling,’’ “where have you been? happy!’’ The sergeant did not attempt to-solve the riddle. ‘‘Congratulations,” he said, dryly. “Don’t let me detain you in your honey- moon.’ Mrs. Welsh took, her husband’s arm and they quickly departed.

Wood’s cabinet and the assignment of portfolios will be issued to- morrow. It is believed that the list will be as follows Secretary of State and Government—Diego Tamayo. Secretary of Justice—Luis Estevez. Secretary of Education—jyen Fautlata Hernandez, Secretary of Finance—Enrique Varona, Secretary of Public Works—Jose Ramon Villalon. Secretary of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce—Gen Pius Rivera. All of these names, with the exception of that of Senor Hernandez, have teen ex- pected for the past few days. The mention of the name of Senor Hernandez as, Secre- tary of Education came as a surprise, al- though he holds an important professorship in the university and is prominent in Cuban national affairs. The papers generally have given the Governor-General great credit for the other five appointments, and from a Cuban point of view the cabihet is con- sidered a strong one. The mayors of all the towns and cities in the province of Santa Clara have held a meeting in order to determine for what they should petition the coming council. Prominent Cubans and other inhabitants of San Antonio de los Panos, in view of the recent attempts to lynch Shbaniards, have formed a committee called the Local Council of General Interests, which thas is- sued a circular saying that “In view of fhe lawlessness of some individuals, who wish to outrage the rights of the people, the com- mittee has determined that such. outrages shall cease, the committée acting as the sentinel of public ordér’ Gen.

AN ASYLUM FOR DRUNKARDS —_—s-- - @ - — Question of Establishing Such an In- stitution Being GSzriously Dis- cussed in South Caroling. Special to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, 8S. C., Dec, #.—The question of the State, which has a monopoly of the liquor business, establishing an asylum for drunkards, where thev will be treated for the disease on a system similar to that used in various cures, has been disctissed for some weeks, and it is probable that a bill will be introduced in the Legislature mak- ing some such provision. There are two propositions that have ad- vocates, one to establish the asylum as an annex to the State Insane Asylum, -con- ducting it under the same management. Those who ‘favor this plan contend that the excessive use of liquor is, in’ many cases, a disease; that the victim is prac- tically insane and entitled to treatment by the State, doubly so when the State is the sole dealer in liquor. Others urge that the Legislature pass a law making drunkenness a crime and ‘es- tablish a reformatory for drunkards, where th can be given hard work in a ¢otton miih machine shop and on a farm. As most of the drunkards are from citiés and towns tt is contended the fear of being humilat by. being sent to a reformatory wil) do more to eg them sober than anything .élse cou TO UNITE - REFORM FORCES Delegates From Social Reform Union and National Christian Citizenship League in Conference.

THE WAR STILL GOES ON. NEW CONDITIONS FOLLOW THE DEATH OF LAWTON. Gen. Otis Is Negotiating for Surrender of the Province, but the Signs Are Not Hope- ful. | Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch, , Copyright, 1808, by the Press Publishing Company. HONG KONG, Dec. W.—Gen. ‘Otis -is greatly worried about Cavite province. Two thousand organized insurgents are there, while an equal number of peesants have rifles, Before Gen. Lawton’s death it was con- templated that Lawton’s movement there, the last weeks in December, would sup- press them. The effect of Gen. Lawton's death and new conditions make the statement that the war is over absurd. Gen. Otis is ne- gotiating for the surrender of the prov- ince, but the negotiations fell through once before and may do so this time. The American officials are hoping that famine in the south and success of the Americans in the north will lead to the dispersal of the southern. insurgents. No local paper is allowed to offer any enititism of the administration or publish news from home relating to the Govern- ment’s Philippine policy. The $30 reward offered by Gen. Otis brings few rifles outside of the northern provinces. No one is safe in the interior without a good sized military escort. BRINGING LAWTON’S BODY.

A second and then a third alarm was sent in, but in spite of the tons of water thrown into the burning buildings by 38 engines and two fire tugs, the wind and the bitter cold so hindered the firemen that for a time the entire wholesale distriot was in danger. The flames quickly communicated to the bufiding at 216 and 218 Monroe street, gradually spreading east to 212 and 214 Monroe, where its progress was finally checked. Immense brands were carried as far as Twelfth street, and the firemen were kept busy extinguishing small fires on the roofs of surrounding buildings.

This means an enormous volume of business. It augurs well for the coming year. St. Louis is on the high tide of commercial and industrial prosperity. A RECORD OF UNPARALLELED GROWTH. On the first page the reader will find the balance sheet of the Post-Dispatch for the year 1899. It is a showing of marvelous growth to which there is no Parallel. It is unrivaled by any other newspaper in the United States. In growth of circulation and advertising no other paper can equal this showing. The Post-Dispatch stands alone and pre-eminent. What is the record? The actual circulation of the Sunday Post-Dispatch Jan. 1, 1899 was 92,759. On Dec. 31 it ts 144,124—a gain of 561,365 copies. The claimed cifculation of the Sunday Republic January, 1899, was 78,530; in November, 82,100—gain 3570. The claimed circulation of the Sunday Globe-Democrat January, 1899, was 95,789; in November, 96,993—gain, 1204. The Sunday Post-Dispatch has not only overcome the lead of the Sunday Globe-Democrat, but exceeds the circulation of that newspaper by 47,131 copies. In 1898 the Globe-Democrgt, then the recognized medium for such advertisements, printed 253,878 wants. The Post- Dispatch printed 224,341. In 1899 the Globe-Democrat printed 260,064—a gain of 6186. The Post-Dispatch printed 274,467—a gain of 40,126. For the year 1899 the Post-Dispatch leads the Globe-Democrat by 14,403. In total advertising the progress of the Post-Dispatch is not less remarkable. In 1898 the Republic printed 10,692 columns; in 1899 (lacking one day) it printed 11,387 columns—a gain of 695 columns. In 1898 the Globe-Democrat printed 12,946 columns; in 1899 (lacking one day), 13,624 columns—a gain of 678 columns, In 1898 The Post-Dispatch printed 11,466 columns; in 1899 (lack- ing one day), 14,081 columns—a gain of 2615 columns. The gain in circulation testifies to the public confidence in the honesty; accuracy and efficiency of the Post-Dispatch as a newspaper. The gain in advertising shows that advertisers. are alive to its merits as a medium of communication with the public and know where their advertising is placed to the best advantage. The Sunday Post-Dispatch is now one of the ten greatest Sunday newspapers in the world. A copy of this issue of the Sunday Post-Dispatch with this challenge and record has been sent to every metropolitan newspaper publisher in the country. We close this statement with the promise that the record for 1899 will be surpassed by that of 1900, and we wish all our readers happiness and the same measure of prosperity during the coming year that we confidently expect for the Post-Dis- patch. EE Comptroller Dawes of Illinois declares it to be the duty of the Republican party to take hold of the subject of trusts energetically and without wavering. It is the duty of all parties to array themselves against trust encroachments. The Republican party, however, has given the trusts a good start through the high tariff. It is mot likely to do even so little as to put trust products on the free list. a A Kansas City writer suggests that Mayor Ziegenhein’s fol. lowers are the burglars who are at work in St. Louis and that they are hreaking into houses to show the inefficiency of a Democratic police, This is an absurd conclusion.

If this year, being numbered ‘'99,”’ is only the ninety-ninth year, then this century, being numbered 18s——, must be the eigit- eenth century.

The 29 is followed by “th’’ because it is only the twenty-ninth day, which is not completed until the evening of that day. But the year is not written, 1899th, because it is not the 99th year, but ninety-nine years have been completed when the year began, or, this is the hundredth year.

The accompanying sketch will give some gress Washington used these words; “Whatever arguments may be drawn from particular exam- ples superficially viewed, a thorough examination of the subject will evince that the art of war is both com- prehensive and complicated; that it demands such previous study, and that the possession of it, in its most im- Proved and perfect state, is always of great moment to the security of the nation.”’ The close of the eighteenth century saw the infant republic presenting a united wurlike front to a powerful nation, that in its struggle for free- dom had been its ally and friend. The close of the nineteenth century sees the same republic, now grown the mightiest power on earth, at war with a@ weak, far away, half civilized power. And as the first army was small, so also is the last one. Limited space forbids a history of the United States Army in these pages. It was but little over 2000 strong in 1800. In 18056 by law it consisted of 2782 officers and men, in 1812 of 6744 officers and men of the regulas, and a very’ inde- terminate number of volunteers and militia. At the close of this war its permanent strength was cut down to 10,000 officers and men. It was again decreased in 1821, and then increased in 1845. During the Mexican war it consisted of 26,000 regulars and 75,000 volunteers. It was less than 14,000 regulars in 1861, but in less than four years thereafter it had developed into the mightiest engine the world had ever seen. Its strength had grown to over 1,600,000 officers and men. But again in 1867 it was cut down to 44,000, and once again in 1870-1871 to 30,000. POP ODO Oooo or-oird ror Oey Of ere it is too late. During its century of existence the army has given to the nation seven Presidents. No profession or calling of honor exists but whose highest. rounds are surmounted by those who have first gained distinction and mill- tary habits in the army. High church dignitaries, poets and authors, judges and great financiers, statesmen and engineers, whose work will live for thousands of years, and rulers of States and countries, all owe their elementary habits and discipline to military training. Yet, great as have been the triumphs of Americans in war, their triumphs in peace have been even greater. The entire world stood amazed to see 2,000,000 soldiers mus- tered out of military lMfe and return qietly to their homes in 1866, there to he!p in more peaceful ways, the great- _ness of their beloved country and its glorious flag.

WHISTLES HEARD FOR MILES. Only When a Storm Is Brewing Does the Sound Come to Inhabitants of Lordville. NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—Lordville, in this State, has a natural weather guage of its own. It belongs to the community at large and it is confidently consulted by every inhabitant. No resident of Lord- ville has need of a glass tube to foretell the weather, for store barometers some- times lie, and Lordville’s has never yet been known to fail. Whenever one of the citizens wants to know absolutely and be- yond question whether or not there ts go- ing to be a storm, he merely walks down to the Delaware riveg and listens to the trains on the Ontario and Western rall- road, the nearest point of which is fully eight miles distant. If he hears nothing idea of the feasibility of obtaining our city water supply from the Mississippi River above the mouth of the Illinois River. The distance by air line is but 20 miles and the cost of extending water mains and constructing a station at point indicated would be considered insignificant as com- pared with the expense of erectin and maintaining a filtering plant, which at times is liable to prove unsatisfactory. As for drawing our supply from the Missouri (otherwise known as the Big Muddy), tha is simply out of the question, for severa reasons. In the first place the Missouri River would prove a “misfit’—during dry seasons it assumes. the proportions of a sluggish millstream altogether inadequate to supply a city of the third or fourth magnitude, let alone a city of our caliber, and when the spring rains “swell its bos- he can with safety go rabbit shooting or | make preparations to get in his hay in the morning. If, on the other hand, he can hear the railroad doing business, he knows 3 is time to suspend out-of-door opéra- tions Reputable people who have investigated the matter report that the sounds come ‘from a certain curve on the road near Fish Eddy, which is on the east branch of the Delaware River. Some peculiarity of the formation of the country allows the sound to be carried from this point to Lordville, and, so far as yet discovered, the sounds are not observed at a: intermediate points. @ most curious thing about it is that these sounds are not heard at Lordville, except when a storm is coming. The ex- -planation is that undoubtedly the wind must be in the right direction, and the pe- eculiar climatic conditions that prevail while a storm is brewing must be present. The sounds seem to pour down through the air from no particular direction, and manifest themselves in a comparatively narrow piece of territory on the north bank of the river. Like all other trustworthy barome- ters, Lordville’s is graded, and the violence and duration of the storm may be predicted by the distinctness of the sounds. It is as- serted that before the blizzard of 1888 one could hear the trains clearly, and that the exact language of every brakeman could be made out. The correspondent is eager to add, however, that he believes that local pride in the phenomenon has somehow got mixed up with this statement. At the store convention held at Lordville recently the matter came up for informal] discussion. The oldest inhabitant said that the phenomenon was even more marked before the forests were cut down. At one time, he said, pepere near Lordville could hear the men of the lumber camps at work at various points at the east branch. After the disappearance of the forests the sounds were not reproduced with such distinctness. Then the direction that the sounds traveled was commented upon. One man sald that they came down the east branch of the Delaware to Hancock and thence down the river te ued to Lordville. Others asserted that they came down the pike, which is an even more circuitous route. One of these views is perhaps correct, for the interven- ing country between Fish Eddy and Lord- ville is very rough and hilly, and in some degree impassable. A stranger mildly sug- hang en that perhaps the nolse.was caused y trains on the nearby Erie Railroad, but it was triumphantly pointed out to him that the Erie engines do not have duplex om” it is converted into a swirling, gur- gling, foul-smelling flow of “yeliow paint.” On the Missouri are located such large cities as Omaha, St. Joe, Kansas City, Jef- ferson City, St Charles, etc., each con- tributing their daily quota of sewage an mtg ey it can be readily seen we te not improving on the quality and would certainly fall short of quantity, On the other hand, we have the crystal- | bodied Mississipp!, whose waters have bee eulogized by poets and blessed by saints o old, and eearch where you may it would be difficult to find its superior.

FOUR TIMES IN ONE YEAR The Blackfords Have Troubles of Their Own, and Their Fourth Divorce Suit Is On. Special to the Post-Dispatch. EVANSVILLB, Ind., Dec. 30—For the fourth time within a year the matrimonial affairs of the Blackfords have crept into the courts. This time Joseph M. Blackford sued Louise Blackford for a divorcee, alieg- ing cruel and inhuman treatment, Three times his wife has sued him for divorce in the past 12 months and as many times has dismissed the suit and returned to live with her husband, This ig the Great time he has brought suit. Cruel and inhuman treatment was the cause alleged by Mrs. Biackford for her divorce suits and now her hdeband turns the tables on her and alleges the same reason why he should be granted freedom. Blackford is a sa.oon keeper at 210 Lower First street, and gained notoriety about a year ago by killing Will Hail Q sora in his saloon.

It places articies in certain classes but the rates for the classes are de- termined by tne railroad companies outside the classification. If a rai.road company maintains the existing rates the change of an article from a lower to a higher class will increase the rate, but from aught that appears in this testimony every railroad company using the classification is at lib- erty at any time to change the existing rates upon giving the notice required by the Interstate Commerce act. oreover, each railroad company is free to take any article out of the existing classification by making a commodity rates. In other words, no suppression of competition, no arbitrary fixing of rates, no restraint of interstate commerce is shown. “The Transmissouri and Joint Traffic As- sociation cases afford no precedent for the action requested in this casa of these associations was formed by a con- tract, under which the companies selected a central authority to fix or maintain rates. There was an absolute suppression of competition, The power 6f independent action was destroyed. No company could change a rate fixed by the ma ers of the association without subjecting itself to a penalty. “If the testimony submitted showed a combination among the railroad companies to restrain commmerce among the several States I would not hesitate to invoke the remedy provided by the anti-trust law, but to take such action upon the faith of the facts submitted would not only be futile, but absurd. If there be a remedy for the complaining shippers it lies in an appeal to your commission under the interstate commerce law. Respectfully, JOHN W.

EXAMPLE SEEN AT KIAQUCHAW. NEARLY ALL REVENUE COMES FROM REAL ESTATE. Nobody Allowed to Secure More Prop- erty Than Is Absolutely Necessary for Conduct of the Business - in Which They Engage. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—At th when all questions concerning the ent and the governmental policies to pur- sued in the development of that region are of extreme Interest to the general pubile, the Post-Dispatch has sought to secure definite information from the vest official Seurce. The Germans have entered upon the most far-reaching programme. Their possessions aré not only upon the Asiatic mainiand, but include scattered islands of great strat- egic and commercial importance, The trade regulations and advantages of the German ports are, therefore, of the wt- most importance. Dr. Theodore Von Holleben, at the re- quest of the Post-Dispatch correspondent, gives the following clear synopsis of the German commercial projects in the Orient, based upon official publications: “The settlement of Kiaouchow, upon the the Chinese mainland, may be accepted as the example and guarantee of German good faith and the German purpose to de- velop the commercial opportunities and ad- vantages of ghe Orient, not only on & sound business basis, but in a spirit of gen- erosity toward all the world. “Kiaouchuw was opened to the wunre- stricted commerce of all the world Oct. 3, 1898. The idea was not to develop this set- tlement for the sake of its agricultural possibilities. These interests were subor- dinated to its use as a depot and theater of commercial industry. ‘His Imperial Majesty, the German Em- peror, decided that Kiaouchow should be created and administered upon scientific lines. The idea was to seure the widest possible range for individual energy and at the same time the most direct and self- regulating control of unnatural license. “Therefore the administration of the port was instructed to secure control of all the real estate within the boundaries of the concession, in order that it might be dedi- cated and devoted to commercial industry. “At the outset two economic dangers were to be feared, one that the Chinese residents would become rapacious to gain the advantages of increased prices for their land and the other that foreigners would buy up large tracts and hold them for speculative values. “The first was obviated by immediately Pnaying to the natives a fair option for the time =IPFRMANY'S NEW.

The Germans then, assuming the eminent domain rights of the Chinese Government, perenean’ all private titles at the values xed prior to the cession, always ascer- “The land then being in the hands of the new owners, it was divided and sub- divided, according to its adaptfbility for residential or business purposes. Persons desiring to purchase land were required to state and define their necessities and the uses to which it was to be put. The land was then opened fo sale at public auction. ‘"The first buyers were restricted in their purchases to the amount of real estate reasonably necessary for the business in which they would engage. Upon this figure as a basis an annual ground rent or ground tax of 6 per cent was to be paid in llew of all other taxes. Every three years there is to be a new assessment, but the rate of taxation is fixed at 6 per cent upon the assessed value. “In order to discourage a natural specu- lation in rea! estate values, and thus creat- ing a trade which would operate as a burden upon commercial industry, it is pro- vided that when any holder of real estate sells his tenure one-third of any increase over the previous assessed value shall go to the State. ‘In cases where the same persons hold property without sale or transfer for 2% years e increased value of the land by reason of causes not due to the ho'der’s persona) industry shall be ascertained and the Government will collect one-third of Friends of Gov, McMillin deny most em- phatically that Mr. a bn, 4 has been given any intimation as to who his successor is to pe, although Mr. Craig has authorized the statement that he would not resign be- cause ex-Comptrolier James A. Harris was to named as his successor, Gov. MeMil- lin, it is stated on authority, has notified Mr. Craig that no man will be selected for the place until his resignation is in the executive office. Gov. McMillin has stated that it is a matter of indifference to him whether Mr. Craig resigns or holds on, and that he does not intend to secure Craig’s resignation by making any promise as to whom he shail appoint in cause a vacancy should occur. Mr. Craig has said he wouid resign at ance provided the Governor would make a cer- tain appointment, but McMillin insists that he is vernor, and that no one shall dic- tate his action, It is conceded that the sit- uation is due to factional party differences, and for this reason is inteneely interesting to Democrats all over the State. $4000 FOR STORIES.

He declines to allow the nation to take the part of humanitarianism. .. The definite answer has been looked for since the submission to Congress of the last Presidential message, in which Mr. McKin- ley clearly indicated that he was averse to even suggesting anything that would tend toward bringing an end to the war that is distressing civilization, But the President Was not specific in his message, and despite the inference forced by his words and the mames of signers of the petition for media- tion have continued to come into the of- fices of the World and Post-Dispatch, have promptly communicated to The increase in the number of petitioners in the name of peace has been so great that the Administration has felt it incum- bent to make a final statement of its in- tent.. T statement was considered at the meeting of the President’s Cabinet yes- terday, one of the members was au- thorized to make it to the press. The statement is substantially as follows: 7 “Petitions numerously signed upon the subject of the war in South Africa are be- received at the White House.

Copyrighted, 1800, by Press Publishing Company. BERLIN, Dec. 30.—An epidemic of duel- ing has broken out among the officers of the German army. Several men had fought in Saxon¢ and the Thuringian states but, as nothing se- rious happened, public opinion was not aroused. During the Christmas holidays, however, two duels were fought with dead- ly results under circumstances of peculiar brutality. Three infantry lieutenants, Ernst, Kisslig and Schlabitz, were together in a cafe at Mulhamsen connected with the Apollo Variety theater. The officers grew excited over the merits of certain local va- riety artists. Schlabitz alleges that Ernst and Kisslig used insulting language to him and he challenged his two companions on the spot. In order that a certain amount of legality might be given to the proceedings Schlabitz informed his colonel what had occurred. The colonel convoked a court of honor of regimental officers, which court decided that Schiabitz had no alternative than to fight. The court decided the conditions of the duels as follows: A distance of 30 yards to be measured off. Schlabitz and Ernst were to take positions 30 yards apart and fire one shot. Should the shot prove in- effectual it was to be followed by others, each party moving two yards nearer. The second short, therefore, would be fired at a distance of 46 yards, the third at 42 yards, and soon. The firing to continue until one of the two parties was disabled. The morning after the decision of the court the three officers, with seconds, surgeons and several speetators, repaired to a pine wood in tthe neighborhood of Mul- hausen. Schlabitz and Ernst took up their positions. Nothing happened on the first and second shots, but at the third Ernst received a ball in the lower part of (3) leg, above the ankle, and fell. Ernst was removed by the surgeons. Kisslig then took Ernst's place. The first shot, at a distance of y , was inef- fectual, so was the second, at 84 yards, but at the next, 30 yar Kisslig’s pistol bullet pierced Schlabitz’s heart and the unfor- tunate man fell dead. Another duel with similarly disastrous re- suits is reported from a town in Bast Prus- sia, where a married officer named Stielow was shot dead by a brother officer. Stielow was shot through the abdomen, No particulars of the latter duel have yet been made public, but as of most duels among German officers, the people say ‘‘cherchez la femme.”’ SHIP ON THE GROUND SOUTH AMERICAN STEAMER IS ASHORE IN ENGLISH CHANNEL.

She was laden with coffee and had eight passengers on board In spite of the heavy weather pre- vailing the Dungeness life boats succeeded in reaching the steamer remaining with her all night. The Pelbtag is so far in shore that she has been left almost dry at low water. Her stern post and rudder have been washed away. The captain of the Pelotas refuses assis- tance and is ni oy jettisoning her cargo. Tugs are attending her and it is moped that she will be refloated at the next high tide.

During the past year I have told you every day what Dr. Ben- nett’s Belt could do and was doing for suffering humanity. I have aimed at all times to be very conservative in my claims, although I know that results obtained in some cases wére almost miracn- lous. This has fully confirmed my opinion that there is no way to treat disease that is so successful as to use one of Nature’s potent agents and apply it scientifically. As I review last year I am glad to think that my work in studying the best methods of relieving suffering and weakness has been appreciated and the grateful let- ters I am receiving every day from rejoicing patients is a grand re- ward for my feeble efforts, in what I believe is the greatest calling on earth, HEALING THE SICK. Now, what is wrong with you? Be fair with yourself and hon- est with me. If you are, I want to talk to you. Let’s get acquainted sufficiently to give due deference to each other. Are you thin, weak, decrepit, wan, weary, wasting, despondent, emaciated, no ambition, weak of memory, full of lassitude and ennul, nerves shattered, system wrecked, debilitated, constipated, abject, morose, despairing, feeble, asthmatic, phthisic, a cold, headache, neuralgia, pains, cough, bronchitis, or any of the thousands of ail- ments caused by thin, impoverished or poisoned blood?

The weaknesses of the parent are bound to be born in the child—strength is natural, weakness is unnatural.

Medicines dre ee to the dogs when you wear my Belt. The man or woman whe as robbed Nature by abusing her lawa must seek her magnanimous forgiveness through her most potent agent, Electricity, as applied by my Belt. Health cannot be regained unless the nerves are made strong and well Ovarian troubles, irregular menstruation, hysteria, inflammation and womb troubles speedily pass away and cures have been made that the patient did not consider to be less than miracu- lous. My Dr. Bennett’s Electric Belt is the only one that does not burn and blister; it has soft, silken, water-reservoir, sponge-covered elec- trodes which allow the whole current of Electricity to penetrate the system. Beware of imitation metal electrodes with chamois covering, that do not retain the moisture, but become dry and useless in a very few minutes, thus checking the current. Dr. Bennett’s water-charged sponge Electrodes are patented and cannot be used on any other Belts. When others claim to have them compare theip Electrodes with mine, then you will not be taken in by false misrepresentations, My Belt is guaranteed for one year and -after that can be renewed for 75 cents.

UPS AND DOWNS OF A FINANCIER, Suggestive Facts in the Life Story of A. E. Stilwell. HIS CHAMPIONS ARE MANY. RAILWAY BUILDER AND PROMO. TER OF GREAT ENTERPRISES. Started 12 Years Ago as Life Insur- ance Solicitor; Rid Himself of Phys- ical Handicaps Through Chris- tian Science; Has Raised $60,- 000,000 in Ten Years. KANSAS CITY, Dec. 30.—The turn-down of Arthur BE. Stilwell, who has just re- signed the presidency of the Guardian Company at Chicago, !s a surprise to that gentleman’s many admirers in Kansas City and the West, who regard him as one of the most skillful financiers in the country. They predict that he will not stay down long. The company was originally a Kansa City concern and was known as the Mis- sourl, Kansas and Texas Trust Company, with headquarters at Kansas City. Mr. Stilwell went to Chicago last spring and company and as the two steel wire mag- nates thought there was room in Chicago for another large trust company, the result was the removal of the company to this city with Mr. Stillwell as president. The capital stock was increased to $2,500,000 and the company claimed to have a surplus of nearly an equal] sum. The time of its removal there !t was stated in business circles that it was to cut a very wide swath and the financial stand- ing = the men interested seemed to war- rant the assumption. Large offices were rented, but since then little has been heard of it in the business world. The sequel of the fact that it has not become more of a factor is said to be found in the retirement of Mr. Stilwell, With the announcement in Kansas City of Mr. Stllwell’s withdrawal came an offi- cia) order directing that Frank B, Wil- cox, the company’s assistant treasurer, should take full charge of the Kansas City office. It is said that Mr, Stilwell, who is now in the will return to Kansas City about the first of next week and reopen his house here, from which he has been absent since the reorganization of the trust company—though he never formally relinquished his residence here. Twelve years ago Arthur E. Stilwell was a life insurance solicitor in Chicago—and a poor one at that. He had no more money thancwas necessary to meet his cur- rent expensés.\. Somet:mes he had scarce- ly enough ev or that. All he knew of a railroad w that it consisted of two tracks on which Wains ran. Then all at once there came a change. Stilwell, the poor |! insurance solicitor, became first, Stilwell, real estate Na- poleon, with a brand new system that peas like a ld mine. And soon after his again Stilwell, the real estate dealer, became a promoter and financier, w:th in- terests coveri thousands of miles and representing millions of dollars. He be- came the moving spirit in more than thir- ty big corporations. He organized the Mis- sourt, Kansas and Texas ust Company, —which grew and prospered wonderfully until two years ago it had offices in Kan- sas City, Philadelphia, New York, Bos- Amsterdam, ndon, Paris rlin, and Havre, and handl a fully capital of $1,250,000. with a surplus of 350, besides. And Stilwell went into railroads, too, and soon controlled over miles of trunk line, created by himself He linked Kansas City with the Gulf o (Mexico by a railroad as near an air line as it can be, turned north and reached Omaha on his way to Manitoba, eastward and reached Quincy en route to Ch‘cago. He built towns, founded new industries, reclaimed tens of thousands of acres 0 land to agriculture, opened mines, estab- Ushed lines of steamers and dug a ship canal seven miles long, wide and deep enough to accommodate the largest vessel oat. In less than six years this man, not #0 years of age, by his own efforts, in the face of panics and every opposition imig- inable, raised over $60,000,000—and sunerin- terided its expenditure. To his credit, it is said, he is to-day by no means a r man, How has all this been brought about? To begin with, Mr. Stilwell is a man of fine presence. He is a big man, standing over six feet and weighing upward of 200 pounds. He is handsome, too, and a mag- netic conversationalist. But all this is largely of recent years. Mr. Stilwell him- self. says that years ago he was very dif- ferent. He had the same big frame, of course, but until he was nearly 30 he was sickly and weak. He was constantly troubled by sore eyes and a humor that disfigured his countenance. But that was before he was attracted by the teachings of Christian Science. his cult of Mrs. dy’s he studied and ac- cepted its tenets. “I stopped drugging my- self,” he said. ‘The eruptions I had been troubled with disappeared. Mr eyes? Look at them.’” They are bright, clear pene- trating, yet kindly—blue-gray in color. I never wear glasses,"’ he went on. “I: had simply been a mart to error.””’ Whether it was Christian Science or not, Mr. Stil- well became as fine a physical specimen of manhood as one often sees. And right after that his career of success began. " ascribed it all to Christian Science, became a pillar of the tocal branch that remarkable denomination. Stilwell was born itn Rochester, N. Y-., Oct. 21, His grandfather, Hamblin Stil- well, was one of the builders of the New York Central Rallroad, the Erie Canal and other big enterprises of Western New York. At the age of 14 the railroad magnate to be was apprenticed to a printer. At 19 he was married and took Horace Greeley’s advice. He opened a small printing shop in Kansas City in 1879. It was located on Union avenue. In a few months his health failed and he returned to the East. After this he tried insurance. He first traveled as special agent for the Travel- ers’ Insurance Co, in Rhode Island and Connecticut. Finally, in he landed in Chicago and went to soliciting insurance. He was crammed full of schemes. Men th him say he was a genius this direction, Dut, and of ‘One thing After jus could stick to no one ng. r e had wane a square thing he wanted to make a round thing, then a long thi age a op ceahaams different from w was > He Soataor af once to invent new methods of insurance and new kinds of policies, all of which was not encouraged in a solicitor, who was supposed to stick steadily to he had hand in ‘ But Stilwell persisted in figuring on ton- tines, endowments, and %-payment Sg Ie agg Ry in oul m ow ¢e Sasonee his plans.

When first he saw Martin, this man who has built $23,000,000 worth of railroad through six States had not seen the in- side of another railroad office unless through a window. He did not even know a railroad man. However, he had a good lever; the profits of the Home Buliding concern had got noised abroad, and the Philadel- hians who had been putting up the money or the concern were anxious to have Stii- _ Well place more for them.

THEY TRAVELED 7500 MILES. THEY HAVE GONE TO HELP THE BRITISH FIGHT. Interesting Story of a Long Voyage Toid by Capt. Owens, Commander of the British Steamship Montezuma. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW ORLEANS, La. Dec. B.—The British steamship Montezuma, which has just returned from» Cape Town, South Africa, where she took a load of more than 1900 mules, has been chartered by the British Government and ordered to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to take on board the Second Canadian Volunteer Regiment, which has been accepted by the British Government. This command voiunteered its services some time ago, and it was only lately that their services were accepted. The Monte- zuma has ample room to carry over 2vw men, and the men from Canada will have pienty of room for comfort. In the future the big ship will be known as a government transport and wiil be used to move men and horses. She is one of the biggest ships in the Engiish service. The voyage of the Montezuma was one of the most remarkable in the history of transports. She steamed over 7500 mules without once stopping her engines and averaging a running speed of 16 miies an hour. It took 29 days to make the voyage across to Cape ‘Town, but three days were lost on account of the heavy b.ow, and it only took 2% days for the big Suip to return. The Montezuma left this port Oct. 23. There were over 1900 mules loaded on board the big snip, Americans were em- ployed on the vessel to look after the un- ruly animals, For the first few days out the voyage was a most enjoyable one, but toward the fourth day the officers noticed quite a blow to the southward, and they housed all their canvas and ran under easy sail and slowed-down machinery. ‘The out- side of-this hurricane was passed in safety, and the ship heid her course, heading ai- rectly toward the point indicated in the compass. The waters of the tropics, in that season of the year, are filled with the most unex- pected biows, and the one which struck the big transport was uniooked for. ‘lhe wind came from the northward, with «a shower of rain and a heavy sweil. The sea rose so high, in fact, that it was neces- sary to close the air doors of the ship, which cut oft the air from many of the pvor mules. For fully #4 hours the gale b.ew, and the ship rolled and tossed lke a tq. Then the wind settled down and the sea smoothed away until it became as a pla.e of giass. The ship was not making a very rapid rate of speed, and when they heaved in sight of Cape Town the great transpor, and its energetic cargo were very active. The American mules showed the spirit of their breeding and made — a lively showing upon their arrival. hey were ali in exceilent condition, strange to say. Only thirty mules had been lost on the voyage over from America. When the ship sailed from this ea the very besi weather was predicted, but the vessei found that this was not the case in the West Indies. There was not the proper ventilation and many of the mules were made sick when the storm compelled the closing of the hatches. Some of these animals, especially those that were not well when sent on board, were seriously sick, and the officers found it necessary to kill fully twenty of the number. This sickness was the cause of the death rate being sod high. The dead mules were thrown overboard and the well animals flourished afterwards. Just as soon as the heavy weather passed the hatches were opened and the big ship rode along tained her vuiuable cargo towards the south- ward. . Owing to the heavy weather the vessel was delayed three ane A but the officers treated the animals with the utmost care. After getting across the line, the weather vecame good, and from the equator to Cape of Good Hope the sea was very smooth. When the big transport with its cargo at- rived in Cape Town there was quite an ovation. The city was filled with soldiers, and the harbor was crowded with trans- ports. There were ships from New Zealand with soldiers, big ships from Australia with regiments, and even ships from Canada with volunteers. The harbor presented a lively sight. There was energy everywhere. Arrangements were made to receive the American mules before the ship arrived. The Prah had reached Cape Town with a cargo of American mules before the Mon- tezuma, and these mules were in the very best of condition. Only a very smal] num- ber had been lost on the way, and the of- ficers commanding the port were highly pleased with the shipment. When the Hon- tezuma reached port and it was found that |of the 1900 animals on board only thirty , had been lost, the officers at once extended | the sincerest congratulationg to the officers | of the ship. A big transport from New Zealand was lying near the dock at the time, and the officerse commanding the port ordered this vessel away to secure the landing of the American mules, These American mules had made a very decided impression when a from the firet transport to ar- rive. he army officers realized that a mule which couid stand a sea voyage of 28 days and be in condition to leave at once for a long trip acrosr the mountains was an exceptional eerv. "t. The mules were driven ashore at once, and put in a oy for a day. They seemed delighted to e on dry land once again, and acted like children in thelr frolics. However, this amusement was not long, for the next day they were sent out upon a railway journey which lasted 28 hours. Upon their arrival} at the front they were distributed, and now they are being used as pack mu.es, for mounted artillery, and for the wagon trains on the boundary line. The British officers are high.y pleased with the ani- mais, and consider them the best army muies they ever saw. ough entirely un- trained as to the fire of heavy artillery, the au “eh wo veee iommeshone ability o learn the duties red of them, and the British office, In cha ce classes the At «rican green mules. far above the nif army mules, which are pientiful In the southern section of Africa.

Figures Show That 1899 Was a Record Breaker in Every Line of Indus- try and Uncle Sam Is Pros- pering. : = 7 Ya Special to the Post-Dispatch. NPW YORK, Dec. 30.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade, issued this morn- ing, says: “No correct report of failures in 1899 can be made until the year has closed. A ¢ol- lapse of speculation in copper stocks has swelled the aggregate at Boston alone over $18,000,000, within a few days, and might yet add to the fecord. The failures thus far reported are smaller in number than in any year since 1888, and smaller in amount of commercial liabilities than in any year since 1881. The aggregate of defaulted lia- bilities is $120,160,000, but nearly two-thirds of the banking :iabilities were added within a few days, the aggregate reaching about $20,900,000. The commercial Mabilities have been about $89,260,000, though exact returns for a few recent failures are not yet ob- tainable. “No other year except 1881, with defaulted liabilities of $81,155,982, and 1880, with $66,- 752,000 have failures been as small since the agency commenced quarterly returns in 1875. The average of iiabilities per failure is less than $9600, the smallest in any year of the twenty-five, a ratifying evidence urther re- moved than usual from the point of dan- ger. a és ‘ “The speculative troubles come because the volume of legitimate business and the unprecedented distribution of profits, inter- est and dividends, made it no longer possi- ble to carry some stocks on borrowed money. Prosperity itself placed a check on “The industries are closing the most ex- treordinasy year of their history. Long es- tablished branches have undergone verita- capacity, while new industries, which scarcely existed a year or two ago, have en- listed a vast capital, altered modes of busi- ness and production in almost every direc- tion and improved conditions for the future almost beyond calculation. WBlectrical de- ve‘opments in light, heat and power, in making cataract work, performing wonders in production of materials and providing transportation all over the land, deserve “For such reconstruction the increase in demand for iron and steel products is the great feature of the year. With 415,733 tons unsold and 243,516 produced weekly Jan. 1, hindered by sever weather, so that the out- put (Mareh 1) dropped 15,000 tons, but ex- panding in every month afterwards, the industry is now producing about 300,000 tons weekly, and unsold stocks are reduced to 122,923 tons, and yet orders unfilled will re- agire six to nine months’ work from most re) the establishment, Prices have not. changed the past week, though demand for some products i!mproved a little.

Wool has been raised by specula- tion 36 per cent, but has been very largely consumed, with great demand for gvods, which have advanced but per cent. Stocks now held are said to be 157,398,879 pounds. Of boots and shoes the Bast has shipped 400,000 cases, or 9 per cent more than Jast year, and 2% r cent more than in 1892, but prices have advanced only about 11 per cent since Jan, 1.

Bradstreet’s review, “The Year in Trade,” issued to-day, says, In part: “Barely have sanguine commercial] and financial hopes or predictions found such adequate realizations as they did during 1899, ertainly nothing like the wide- spread and general upward movement of values, alike of staples and of securities, such as occurred during this year, could have been foreseen. can make no compromise, Either you must master it or it will “Linked with an immense business and a record-breaking production in nearly all lines of business and industry, except, per- haps, in some products of the agricultural interest, there was with {t an advance of staple values either of which alone would have made the year notable, and combined they have served to es:ablish the year as The volume of domestic and of foreign trade alike was the largest ever recorded. and the bank clearings, reflecting immense business gb nent active speculation in stocks ahd immense new tfndustrial float- ings, far surpassed all preroys records.

Whatever may b@ the cause of varicocele its injurious effects are too well known for extended comment. Suffice to say that it depresses the mind, weakens the body, racks the nervous sys- tem, and ultimately leads to a complete loss of sexual power. If you are a victim of this dire disease come to my office and let me explain to you My process of treating it. Yon will then not wonder why I have positively cured more than 70 cases of varicocele during the past 12 months. Under my treatment the patient improves from the very soasnnine, All ain instantly ceases. Soreness and swelling quickly subside. he pools of stagnant blood are forced from the dilated veins, which rapidly assume their normal] Size, strength and soundness.

My treatment is entirely original with me and perfectly painless. It completely dissolves the stricture and pefmanently removes every obstruction from the urinary passage. It stops every unnatural discharge, allays all inflammation, reduces the prostate gland when enlarged, cleanses the bladder and kidneys, invigorates the sexual. organs and restores health and soundness to every part of the body af- fected by the disease. Nervo-Sexual Debility. Men, many of yOu are now reaping the resuit of your former folly. Your manhood js failing, and will soon be lost unless you Gp something for yourself, There is no time to lose. Impotency, ' like all sexual diseases, is never on the standstill. With it you master you, and fill your whole future with misery and inde- scribable woe. I have treated so many cases of this kind that I am as familiar with them as you are with the very daylight. Once cured by me, yOu will never again be bothered with éemis- sions, drains, prematureness, small or weak organs, nervous- ness, failing memory, loss of ambition or other symptoms which rob you of your manhood and absolutely unfit you for study, business, pleasure of marriage. My treatment for weak men will correct all these evils, and restore you to what nature in- tended—a hale, healthy, happy man, with physical, mental] and sexual powers complete.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by the Press Publishing Company. BRITISH CAMP OF CHIEVELEY, Na- tal, Dec. 28.—The Transvaal Government will never make peace and forgive the offerses of war. Victory for it is not ceded to the Transvaal. hundreds of Burgwers in the Transvaal se- cretly sympathize with the British and have either bribed the field cornets (Boer recrulting officers) 'to omit them from the commando lists or are fighting under com- pulsion. For both these classes the con- tinuance of the republics will be a terrible blow. As long as the independent flags float at Pretoria it is a national center of Dutch republican sentiment, producing ceaseless unrest. The cost of the war to the British will be enormous, but ‘they will get their morey’s worth. The Boers are prepared to lose independ- ence if defeated. They recognize the, terms of the quarrel and said to me: “If we win, we will spit you out of South Africa; if you win, you will swallow us,”’ My respect for the fighting Burghers make it very painful for me to contemplate injuring their pride of race, but no other solution of the South African problem is practical or permanent than for Britain either to absorb the two republics or to- tally abandon the ‘colonies, The British nation must expend blood and treasure, but it will not be spent for nothing. The Boers will never give in unless hope- leesly crushed, Then they would acquiesce in annexation and expect notging better. ‘The pubiic must trust the generals.

CAPE TOWN, Friday, Dec. 2.—The troops in the British camp of Victaria West turned out last night to repel an at- tempt of the Boers to cut the railroad near the station. A patrol reported early in the evening that they had sighted the Boers in the neighborhood. At 10 o'clock at night. the Boers opened a heavy fire near the station. The British replied and the Boers retired at daybreak, their at- tempt having turned out a failure. The point attacked by the Boers Is south of De Aar, on the railway over which Gen.

WITH EUROPE AT HER HEELS: sail England Looks Across the Atlantic for the Friendship That She Sorely Needs. LONDON, Dec. 30.—As the new year dawns Great Britain has the greatest army she ever put in the fleld held at bay by two of the smallest republics on the face of the earth, while at home, in spite of the large volume of trade and apparent pros- perity, her financial interests are in a state of instability not seen since the Baring crash. All Europe is yelping at her heels, and the necessity for America’s friendship is recognized on all sides. Papers and peo- jibe for America’s good will no longer make any attempt to belittle the desirability of ‘“‘America,’’ says the Globe, usually humorous at the ex- pense of all things transatlantic, ‘“‘with a crop of 642,000,000 bushels, is especially in a position to help us.” The economic shoe already begins to pinch the military foot. Not very seriously, but enough to suggest grave cogitations as to what would happen if Great Britain were at war with a great power, The fact that the Government has chartered so many transports has resulted ina rise in the price of bread, while coal is rising by leaps and bounds to famine prices. It is such un- pleasant results as these that silence the scoffers at things American and induce such a vituperative publication as the Saturday Review to say: “The Americans have had their eyes opened to the possibilities of a fore.gn policy 'and are taking a sounder, beside a cooler view of the situation. They are not less friendly to us than before, but the insincere element has been eliminated and has left a reliable substratum of good will.’”’ Which concatenation the S turday Re- ‘view, under different circumstances, would doubtless have construed into damning evi- | dence of the insincerity of American friend- ship. it must not be inferred that this view is held by many of the sincere English friends of America, who now point to what they are pleased to term its great friendliness as proof of what they have always main- tained. With such a serious outlook for the com- ing year, it is hardly surprising that ar- ticles appear under the heading, “Are We Decadent?” and similar strains. On the other hand, there is still a small section of the press and public which de- votes its energies to senselessly abusing the Boers and prophsying the speedy entry of the British into Pretoria. Yet, on the whole, the organs voicing the better class of opinion, face 1900 and its eventualities in South Africa with an even-minded, un- hysterical determination that compels ad- miration. That t@ere will be a day of reckoning for some one is a certainty that even the most guarded and conservative do not try to conceal. Whether it be Lord Lansdowne, Lord Wolseley or Gen. Buller, it is impossible to tell, but all the information obtainable at present and the having to shoulder the onus for the terrible mismanagement. While Great Britain feeds contentedly upon long special cables, showing Ameri- can friendship, the Boer agents in Europe believe sentiment in the United States has been gradually turning Boer-ward until the time is now ripe to develop it into mate- | rial effect. Under this impressior they are contem- plating dispatching a special mission to the United States for the purpose of influencing public opinion, possibly by open meetings and by personally assisting the efforts’ of those in Congress whom they believe friendly. Moreover, they consider it ad- visable to offset what they declare has been a systematic campaign of John Hays Ham- mond, the American engineer, who was a member of the Johannesburg Reform Committee, to influence Washington opin- ion. If the plans now under consideration are carried out the mission will include a very prominent Boer agent and a pro- Boer member of the British Parliament, who intended to sail this week but was prevented by what is thought to be a tem- porary hitch in the arrangements. Their desire is to affiliate themselves with no particular party, but by influencing politi- cal and public opinion to secure at least an offer of mediation from the United States, but so far there are no circumstances to warrant the belief that such an offer, how- ev>r made, would receive the slightest con- sideration. - GREETING 10 THE QUEEN New Year’s Message to Victoria Sent by the Mayor and People of Kimberley. LONDON, Dec. 30.—The War Office issued a dispatch dated Cape Town, Friday, Dec. 29, evening, saying that Col.

The Seizure of American Flour Unlike That of German Ship. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 80.—Crammond Kennedy, one of the best authorities on in- ternational law now in Washington, said to-night: “There are virtually mo points of resem- blance in the cases of the American ves- sels loaded with meat and flour seized by the British in Delagoa Bay and the German mail steamer Bundesrath having on board a number of men, who were presumed to be Boer recruits. “It is held, however, that there are feat- ures of similarity between this latter case and that of the Trent, the British steamer seized by the Federal Government during the civil war. The point involved in that case was whether a diplomatic agent or an Ambassador could be regarded as contra- band of war, The decision finally reached was t they could not so considered, and subsequently they and the Trent were released... “The Bundesrath is a German ma!] steam- er sailing from a neutral port to a neutral port. Right there, however, the similarity ends. Under the international law code, an officer or an enlisted man bound on ship for a belligerent in war, no matter whether he comes or is going to a neutral port or both, is considered just as much a contra- band of war as a rifle or cannon. “The burden of proof, however, rests with the British in the case of the Bundesrath. In the event it is proven that the-Germans were bound for the Boer service, the British are clearly justified in making the ‘| Bundesrath was referred to at a meeting seizure. Otherwise they must make repara- tion. The case of the Bundesrath must be taken into an English Court of Admiralty for trial. They must furnish ai) the proof that the Germans planned to join the Boers. “In the case of the American ships seized, it is held by international lawyers that it must be proven that the cargoes of ves- sels detained were consigned to an agent of the Boer Government. “If these cargoes, on the contrary, were but a part of the regular annual commerce, then ft is doubtful af sufficient proof can be obtained against them to warrant their detention. It is held by the shipper that the cargoes were being shipped to = lar customers, who were simply civilia agents and in no way connected with the army or the Government. If this ts the case, then the British Government will find great difficulty in justifying its action In seizing the vessels. ut n, if it is proven that the port to which the cargoes were being: shipped is an out-of-the-way place, where little or no ee businéss was transacted prior to those shipments; or if it is shown that the lading of these cargoes was in an se an unusual event in the business of the prene then the Bvitish would, eager oe to igh international authority, be justified in seizing the goods on the grounds that such unusual action in time of war bore an element of suspicion which could not be overlooked, None of these points, however, is tenable in the case of the Am flour seizure.” Administration officials have no comment to make upon Germany’s decision to act promptly in the seizure by Great Bri of a German antp in Delagoa Bay, this Government is ‘treating the seizure cf American flour by British warships in the same waters with apparent indifference The observation was made, however, that rmany would probably first address 3 note of-inquiry, just as this ernmen! has done.

German commertcé, he asserted, had already suffered detriment through the war in South Africa, and now news came of the seizure of a German steamer by a British warship. Herr Woermann replied that the cham- ber had already considered the question of representations with the view of taking action in the matter. The chamber, he con- tinued, had been informed that the steam- ship company owning the vessel had tele- graphed to Prince Hohenlohe, the Imper-:al Chancellor, asking for government inter- vention, and it was declared that nothing whatever had been done by the company which could in any way be regarded as a breach of neutrality. SENT OUT &S FEELERS. Explanation of Reports of a Treaty With Portugal. BERLIN, Dec. 30.~The correspondent of the Associated Press learns in Government circles that Germany does not believe the report that Great Britain intends to take decisive steps soon at Delagoa Bay. It Is admitted that Germany would be informed beforehand if any serious step was interdé- ed, and the reports circulated are considered to be feelers issued by the countries inter- ested in preventing Great Britain from get- ting Delagoa Bay. —_— ment officials continue to assert that the cruise of the Montgomery in West African waters was an ordinary trip, yet no expla- nation is forthcoming which reveals the reason for keeping the trip such a profound secret. Had the trip been an “ordinary” one the movement of the vessel would have been noted and officers of the Naviga- tion Bureau would not have felt impelled to deny that the ship had ,been to Afri- ca. State Department officials pretend to know nothing of the mission of the Mont- gomery.

Predictions of War. ? ton, Ky., on January 3, instead of January 5, as at first announced. There is talk of a war between the rep- resentatives of the various jockey clubs on the question of dates, but it is not likely that there will be anything of that sort. Each year about this time the same ru- mors are set afloat, The wish is always father to the thought and is fostered by those clubs who are without the patronage needed to run an extended meeting. | President Robert Aull and the officers of the St. Louis Fair Association are not the least alarmed over the rumors of war and beMeve that the meeting will be void of te B incident and that the old dates will allowed to stand. Tod Sloan’s description of Flying Fox tal- lies much with the description of Freeland, the great son of Longfellow, when he was considered the grandest race horse in all the land. Like Flying Fox, Freeland was ne at the post, seemed to size up every- thing in the“race, and he nearly always was the first away. As Kentucky Bill used to say: “De ole hoss used to size ‘em all up and when he found out jest which he had to beat he went out and got him. That is just the way Fiying Fox does now, according to Sloan. Miss Mae Day’s work at New Orleans last week won many a dollar for her backers in St. Louis, She had away the worst of the handicap in the weights, but she won it cleverly. Fo"owing are the conditions, weights and entries for the New Year’s Handicap, to be run Monday: For three-year-olds.

TURF CONGRESS CHANGES DATE. Meeting to Consider Apportionment ef Racing Dates Postponed. The meeting of the American turf con- gress scheduled for Jan. 15 at Covington, Ky., has been postponed to Jan. 25. Gecre- tary Hopper sent out the notices which were received by the local club yesterday. This meeting is called for the purpose of gegen. racing dates for the season of 1900, a subject on which it was expected there waquld be a fight at the annual meet- ing here Yast fall. This failed to develop to the extént expected because those in favor of the apportionment of dates feared to force the issue at that time. Since then, it is reported, plans have been perfected by which the season at Chi- cago and St. Louis wouid be shortened for the benefit of the Cincinnati tracks and those along the line from New Orleans ae rs - vena 9, Re wins Fg gh v8 / i.

Fanciers of collies in this city will hie themselves to the Suburban Hall, 3919 Mor- gan street, Monday, to be present at the elaborate one-day collie show that will be held under the newly organized St. Louis Collie Club. The cub is composed of some of the most prominent young business men of St. Louls and they have spared neither time nor ex- pense in arranging the show, one that they claim will equal anything of the kind ever attempted in this country. The classification Hst is a liberal one, and jt has attracted owners of collies from every State surrounding Missouri, and the result is that the entry list is much bigger than Was even expected by the most enthusiastic members of the club. The selection of Mr. C. Y. Ford of Kings- ton, Ont., as official judge, has pleased ev- eryone. Mr. Ford arrived in St. F.ou!s yes- terday. He is regarded by a majcaty of the doz owners as one of the best Ju ‘tes of collies in the country, and his decisions will undoubtedly please all of the exhibitors.

Between the Two Clever Heavyweights. Peter Maher and Kid McCoy, two aspir- ants for the heavyweight championship of the world, meet before the Coney Island Athletic Club in New York on the afternoon rounds for a $10,000 purse. The specials from their respective training quarters, which appears below, tell how carefully the | two have trained for their battle and in- dicate a very close contest: Special to the Post-Dispatch. WBDSTCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. %.—Peter Maher is as fit as hard work and careful training can make him. He has led a merry life since he first be- gan fighting in this country, but for the last year or so he has been taking on match after match, always going to a fin- ish and resting enough between fights to be in good shape for the next engagement. The result is that Peter looks and acts andi actually is younger and better than he was thre or four years ago. He is not fat or logy; ne‘ther Is he in-drawn and hag- gard condition of a gross fellow who has worked off fat too suddenly. His recent long campaign of finish fights, rounded off with the intelligent work he has done under Pete Lowry’s supervision for the last six weeks,-hag put Maher in better shape than he ever was before to go in and win. ‘When the writer saw Maher he was sprinting in front a two-hour run across ce , and along the roads. : The run home was against a stiff north- west gale. The last 20 yards of the - ney was up-hill. Peter came in with a rush and the two collies that ran before him had no time to frisk and play. was right on their heels. When Maher strip to be rubbed down he presented a perfect picture of what @ fighting man ought to be. There was not a blemish on him anywhere blister or a chafed spot on eit skin was as white as marble. was firm.. There was barely enough tissue to make an easy setting for his ferocious muscular development. The best indication of all was the pe: ness and clearness of his eyes and e gaiety with which he laughed and chatted while he was being rubbed down. t along the shoulder blades and immediately under them. : From there down he narrows away grad- ually.

The “Kid” atepoee in and out of distances has something uncanny and ghastly about it. He seems simply to wish wants to go without exertion. Peter Maher gets in on his man by a rushing style that looks fast and is fast. If he can do this ll win qui mah in the businese can stand off Tom Sharke battle. McCoy Maher at short ran d try to settle him with a volley of smaehes, trus that one of the bunch will get home, e of them is enough to do any man's business. If Peter tries long work, McC will pick him to pieces with his deadly left, eb as the Boer riflemen in their trenches low out the lish. Can Peter rueh in and knock out Me- Coy?

The younger set in society seem to be having it all their own Last week innumerable dinners, dances and teas were given to the visiting co.lege men and the ve ereagge | and junior classes of St. Mary Institute osmer Hall and Wash- ington University, and this week records just as many celebrations of the same sort. One of the schoolgiris that I have yet heard about was the dances which Mrs. F. H. Gmith gave Thursday evening at her home, 4243 Wash- ington boulevard, to her daughter, Beesie Laird Smith, and Miss Nathalie Ad ams, who is her most intimate friend at school, The entire lower part of the house was cleared for dancing, and the floors covered with white tarpaulins. About the chande- liers and in the doorways and windows were festoons of crowfoot and wild Southern smilax, while between the archway sep- arating the ors was a cluster of red Christmas bells, suspended by rope of smi- lax and holly, twined with crimson ribbon, In the @ining room the trimmings were of red and white carnations, mingled with feathery ‘“‘frost-flowers’’ and mountain ash. The hostess recelved her guests in the drawing room, where a group of young girlg assisted informally in doing the hon- ors Miss Smith was delightfully pretty and girlish in French flowered or e over rose-pink silk, the skirt trimm with rows of ribbon and bands of lace inserting and the decolette and sleeveless waist finished with a fall of real Valenciennes lace and shoulder knots of pink satin soleil. Miss Adams, who is piquantly brunette and brilliant in coloring, wore whit ndie and lace, tri with nas of black satin ribbon. Some of the young people who attended were: Misses— Jeanie Wright, Mildred McClaneys, Peckham, Imcile Niedringhaus, George Tittman, ames Richardson, enry Ferris, organdie and lace over white silk, with knots of white panne velvet on the waist and skirt. Among her guests were: Misses— Misses— Nathalie Adams, Ora Bethune, Ruth Espenschied, Marjort “oo Grace Finkenbiner, a e am pson P Mildred Stickney,” Grace Heron, Cora Hogan, Margaret Jackson, Blanche Niedringhaus, Lida Niedringhaus, Judith Oliver, M E Marjorie Sampson, Emma Tittman, . jrace ney, Viceinis Wrig Ethel Simpkins, Yale Boys at a Ball. “The Exclusives,” as my friend ‘The gutterfiy’’ is wont to call that ultra-fash- jonable set, whom we call the creme de la creme of society, seem to have enjoyed themselves very much indeed at the bail which Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Simmons gave at Mahler’s Friday night in honor of their son, George Simmons, and his fellow students of Yale, who are members of the glee, banjo and mandolin clubs of that distinguished (with a (7?) for all the other colleges) institution. The ball took concert at the eon and most of the box- holders at the entertainment were guests at. the party which followed it. The ballroom was beautifully decked in Christmas greens and growing plants, com- bined ‘with the Yale colors, estoons of knots of blue satin ribbon, trimmed the mirror-covered walls, while over the bal- cony railings were draped flags, bunting and ribbon in the bright blue of the Yale colors. Each chandelier was garlanded with smilax and mountain ash, while be- neath was suspended a mistletoe and holly, tied with blue satin gy dot which included Mr. The receiving party | ; abeth Glenn, Miss Carol West and Miss Agnes Delafield, greeted their guests at the the chandeliers and knotted at the four far end of the bail-room where a long ‘pier lass, banked on either side with paims, ormed an effective background.

The skirt was made with a graceful demi-train and the corsage was high, with tasteful trim- mings of Fort d’Alencon lace. Miss Lizzie Glenn wore pale blue moire ade ar with duchess lace and blue panne velvet. French organs om ne ange trimmed with creamy old Valenciennes lace and white velvet ribbon. Miss West's gown was of white silk crepe over satin with trimmings of lace and ac- cordion plaiting and Miss Delafield’s was also of white, the material being chiffon over taffeta. The musicians were stationed in the bal- cony, just at the head of the stairs. Sup- per was served all evening in the large hall on the main flower, and here too, the Yale colors were much in evidence, The large round center table of the sup- r room is built around one of the pil- ars and this pillar was concealed by a tall Norway spruce, which had been split and bound about it. The tree was ablaze with myriads of tiny electric Nghts and festooned with Yale-blue ribbon, strings of carnations and roses bon-bons and all the retty tinsel gew- gaws that usually blossom on Christmas trees. The table itself was trimmed with smilax and roses of all varieties, while over tie sides—were loops and knots of rich blue satin ribbon. The ices were all molded in the form of musical instruments and golf bags, and the sandwiches were daintily tied with blue ribbons. The Glee Club men, who were the honored guests, are: Messrs.— J.

CHAIR FOR MR. WURDACK. Remembered by the Hope Congrega- tional Sunday-School The Christmas entertainment of Hope Congregational Church was giver iast night at Hart's Hall, Semple and Easton avenues “The first legal sale of real estate on the floor of the Exchange was held November | 14, The sale, which was a success, was an event of historical tmportance to the Rea] Estate Exchange, marking the con-_ summation of efforts extending over a quar-. ter of a century to bring about such trans- actions in the Exchange room. The old custom of conducting judicia] sales at the east door of the court ‘house was in line with the antiquated cvstom still observed | in rural districts. There is every conven- fence at - exchange rooms for sales, and as the = n has proven highly successful and eminently satisfactory in other cities where the custom has been in vogue for years, the Exchange members feel assured that it will only be a question of time when all legal sales | will be held there.” Chicago Grain Letter. J. F. Harris to J. W. Sanford. CHICAGO, Dec. %.—The outlook for the wheat market is not a gratifying one at the moment. The market has airly well evened up the past two weeks over the holiday season, and may hold within narrow range until some inducement to in- crease operations is seen.

Jacob Stocke, Wholesale Produce, St. Louis; H. Brinsmade, King-Briasmade Wholesale Dry Goods and Millinery Co., Wholesale Tobacco, St. Lanis. St. Louis; Hugo H. Hammerstein, This company will own an 80-acre, 10-year lease at 10 per cent royalty and 25.160 acres in fee, located in the Northwest Arkansas and Missouri-Kansas zinc district, on which is now being operated three concentrating plants. The prop- erty is now paying profits of nearly $110,600 annually, and with its extensive acreage and ample treasury fund of $75,000, set aside for development purposes, it will become an important factor in the production of zinc, hence no conserva- tive estimate can be made as to its future dividend capacity or teri rise in value of stock. Prof. Potter says: “From such a satisfactory showing and from the remark- ably large proportion of good workable ground still available, and the excel- lent facilities, I regard this as a very choice piece of property, and one worthy of, and safe for, presentment to the public for investment.” Prof. Quinby, State Mine Inspector, says: “The books of the company show the production to have been from Aug. 10, 1895, to Oct. 1, 1899, 93,389,330 pounds of zinc ore, 27,912,870 pounds of sludge ore and 17,935.630 pounds of lead ore, at a value of $1,221,532.11. While this production is enormous, I am led to believe, from my examination of the ground and general surroundings, that the mining of this property has been really only commenced” We can secure low rates to Joplin and will pay all expenses round trip to prospective purchasers who'examine the property and retuse to buy stock. REASONS WHY YOu SHOULD INVEST IN THIS COMPANY: We own 25,160 acres in fee simple. There will be a working capital of $75,000.00. We have produced since 1895, $1,230,599.58. Prof. Potter and State. Mine Inspector Quinby, and other business men,-indorse the enterprise as saie.and substantial. This Company has no watered stock. The ore bodies are established, hence no element of chance exists, as is usual in mining ventures. This Company is paying.a monthly dividend of One per cent and will be paying dividends 50 years hence.

Not only is the rl of Yarmouth (Eric Hope) doing his little part to keep them together, with the Marquis of Angiesey helping him, but the Duke of Manchester has decided to take part in some theatricals, which, how- ever, he declares, are only amateur. And the Prince of Wales is hob-nobbing with our own De Wolf Hopper over in London. And this not to speak of May Yohe—the Lady Something-or-other, and some more. Truly, a wave of magnificence is sweeping over the region behind the curtain once more. A weird story comes from Italy of an Othello who, hating his wife, who played Desdemona, really smothered her in the room scene, and thus ended her career. And, the story goes, the audience show- ered him with roses and shouted “Bravo!” But whether at his realistic acting or be- cause he killed his wife the account does not state, The Metropolitan grand opera season, in New York, has opened, and al! the con- centrated ability of the singers whom Mr. Grau “‘warmed up” out West is exploited nightly for the delectation of the Gotham- ites.

MERICO MORREALD, musical direc- tor of the Castle Square Opera Com- pany had an intimate connection with the musical history of the world of which few in this country have become aware, He it Was who rehearsed and prepared for pre- Sentation at the Teatro Constanzi in Rome, Italy, the work which made famous in a day a man of whom little—in fact nothing— had been heard previous to his winning the prize for the best work by an author who had never before written a successful opera —Pietro Mascagni, who wrote ‘Cavalleria Rusticana.’’ Mr. Morreale was a friend of the hitherto unfortunate musician and he chats interest- ingly of the time when Mascagni was yet to become famous. Indeed, Mascagni was s0 poor then that on the night of the per- formance when the author was called 2» times before the curtain in response to the thunderous applause of the audience, he wore a coat that he had borrowed frura Mr. Morreale. “It was a most fortunate occaston for cabsequent acts tell of the trial and es- of Charles Darney, the betrothel to Lucie Manette, Carton’s hopeless n for her. the hurrying of events to Paris amid the exciting scenes of the Revolu- tion; the trial of Darney, the escape of Darney and Lucie, through the rta of Carton, and the hero’s willing sacrifice on the guillotine, closing his career with the es: , eat 4a a far, far betfer thing that I do than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.” Miss Margaret Anglin, however, will not be with Mr. Miller out here. She has been ‘ransferred to the Empire Stock Conrpany, New York and we must perforce be content with some one else. | The change In the policy and the manage- ‘vent at Hopkins’ eater has already be- gun to show itself in the character of the attractions tO be put on at that- theater. iNot only has an improvement: been made its the style of dramas, but the vaudeville has been strengthened and _ brightened. This week the dramatic company will pre- sent a novelty in the shape of a standard comedy drama, written by one of the best American authors, amd acted for the first time in this city. In selecting “Cumberland, ’61," for pres- entation, Manager Gumpertz decided to give it one of the finest stage mountings his corps of scenic artists have attempted this season. It is a war play Without the lurid or the spectacular. The main scene is leid in the Cumberland Valley, where the Federal forces are operating. A feud between two families makes friends into foes, who take sides with the North and the South. The first act is at West Point, the remainder at the front. One of the realistic scenes where there will be much fspectacular effect is the burning of the bridge in the third act. ‘Maurice. Freeman will play Gordon Grayne, a cadet; Miss Bourne, who goes to Chicago next week, will be Alice Ains- lie, and Mr. Mackley will play Murdock, the Confederate officer. here are five acts, each one requiring a special set of scenery. Bruet and Rivere, the French duetists, who ‘head the vaudeville bfll, are only in America for a short tour. Binns and Binns, the musical comedians, are also booked for only a few weeks, after which they go to London. Capitan, in an aerial act, and Carter de Haven and Bonnie May, the comedians, complete the list. As Miss May is a St. Loulsan she will entertain her friends at a souvenir matinee Friday. “Pawn Ticket 210°’ follows. Willie Collier will play this week, begin- ning to-night, with a special matinee on New Year’s Day, at the Century Theater, where he is booked to appear in his own farce, “‘Mr. Smooth.” It first produced some time last spring, and with the exception of Chicago, has been resented hitherto a’most exclusively in the tern cities. Mr. Collier so far has only distinguished himself as a skillful actor of farce, wherein the humor is limited. But in “Mr. Smooth” it is said that he has inter- spersed bits of pathos which afford him 0 rtunity to display another and hitherto wnlooked for. side to his ability. The ‘Mr. Smooth” of the play is, of course, the same man of suave manners who has often fig- ured in farce in cases of mistaken idéntity. As in other eases he gains admittance to a wealthy man’s house by telling a lie, and then has to tell more lies to save himself. Finally he extricates himself from his dif- ficulties, falls into a snug little fortune, is married and lives happily ever afterwards, While the story is somewhat conventional it is said to serve its purpose admirably. “The Girl from Maxim's” follows Collier. With the matinee to-day the Grand Opera House will begin to exemply the fact that the tales and rhymes of childhood are pleasing now, to the old as well as the young, and.that the youre See in the same realm of ‘“Mother Goose” literature as their fathers did before them. The attraction will be that yarnful story of “Jack and the Beanstalk,” and that remarkable climb of Jack. The tale of Jack is a wonderful one, scarcely less wonderful than that of the ‘Arabian Ninghts.” “Jack and the Bean- staik” in its stage presentation is in the line of the oduction of the same in the } Mascagni,’’ said Mr. Morreale, “the night | of the presentation of the opera. The royal! house had just come out of a period of mourning and for the first time atiended the opera. ‘There was, in consegueyce, a packed theater, filled with the faxhion and wealth of Rome.

When the “two real coons’’ showed here last season the Columbia had one of its biggest weeks, and the Dill proved high- ly diverting to all classes of theater go- ers. In this year’s company there is a chorus of negro girls, and a list of sup- lementary entertainers. Among them are Mattie Wilkes, vocalist; Reese Bros. and Douglas, gun spinners and manipulators; George Catlin. Chinese impersonator; Mal- lory Brothers and Maggie Brooks, novelty musicgl artists; Lottie Thompson, eccen- tric comedienne; Overton and _ Hal- liday, who sing and dance, and the well remembered Wiiliams and Walker quartette. As usual, the show at the Columbia will be continuous, lasting from 1 till 10:30 o’clock, without intermissions, Other features of the New Year’s bill are Trixey Wade, serlo-comic; Miller and May, comedy sketch artists; Sam and Ida Kelly; Prof. Fox, the bird and animal im- itator, and the Kihodrome, with a set of new, anisnated pictures. This is the beginning of the new year, a time of merriment and good feeling, and it is appropriate that at Havlin’s there should nothing but laughter and song, as the audiences there are certainly of the people. The attraction, beginning with the matinee to-day, and including a spe- clal New Year's matinee Monday will be “MeFadden's Row of Flats.” h some of the records of Havlin’s. on both The company is one of 2 people. and ‘among the names are those of Bobby Ralston, the smallest comedian on_ the stage, who first made a reputation for him. self witha burlesque on “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” and who this year figures with W. .

Corinne, stated to be “as is pleasing the South in success, ‘“The Little Host."’ liked her tmmensely. The house playing “Around New York" in the metropolis has been cited to defend its title to the farce by a man who asserts that he had it first. The chorus of “A Greek Slave,” which had gone unpaid for some time, struck the other night. Dorothy Morton’s pocketbook averted a calamity. ‘Brother Officers’’ and a new comedy by Clyde Fitch are to be brought out at the Empire Theater, New York, during this season by the stock company. Charles Frohman will sail for Europe in March to stay until August. He has all his plans made for the rest of this season, and nothing more to worry about. Ada Colley, the young woman with the high notes, has gone to Europe, to carry out some contracts she made before she married Sidney Cohen. He went with her. The press agente of Sarah Cowell le Moyne are sending out a notice that the play in which she is to begin her starring tour in January is called “‘The Greatest Thing in the World.” Helen Redmond of “The Ameer” has put a new song in the opera for its New York season, and it Is reported to be the gem of the plece. It might be that, and not any- thing much. however. Edward A. Emery, who plays Lord Robert Ure in “The Christian,” and Florence Simp- son, the Betty In the same play, have mar- ried. Emery was an officer of distinction in the British army at one time. — “The Girl With the Auburn Hair’ has not set New York afire as she did Chica- go. One paper says it is a pity the mana- er did not engage for the act a good-look- ng woman, or at least one who could sing. Mary Linck, pleasantly remembered for her good work with the Castle Square Com- any early in its season, is resting at home ust now. She has been under a doctor’s care, but will be back at her singing be- fore long. Della Fox refused an exceptionally lib- eral offer from Koster ial to play in their New York houses, not because she did not desire to play in vaudeville, but be- cause she was under contract to Charles Frohman. Bijou Fernandez was, by the ald of much Johnnie-money, declared the prettiest act- ress at the fair of the Professional Wo- men’s League in New York recently. Chas. Richman carried the day as the handsom- est actor. Eugene Moore of a Milwaukee stock com- pany made a we leap from the ruined castle in one of the hair-raisers given there, landed among the scenery instead of on the matress placed to receive him, and broke his ankle. “As You Like It,” “Peg Woffington”’and a revival of ‘‘Romeo and Juliet’ are prom- ised by Charles Frohman at the Criterion Theater with Maude Adams as the star. The Romeo’s name is not given, but the part will hardly be taken by Faversham. The other day it occurred to Chas. Froh- man to have his bookkeeper get out a com- lete account of the business done by Miss aude Adams since she first became a star under his management. He found that her eee renee for the three seasons were @ day. Joseph Arthur has changed the name of his new play from “Johnnie” to “The Johnnies.”” Thereby he avoids trouble with a publisher who claims the former title. The play, it is declared, is not relative to the habitues of the exterior neighborhood of the stage doors. “Mr. Bowser,”’ the oreation of M. Quad, together with his nagging wife, has been made into a play of one act by their de- lineator, and Gerald Griffin will put it on as a vaudeville act. “Mr. Dooley,” the cre- ation of Pete Dunne of Chicago, is also to agen a stage character in the near fu- ure, Wright Huntington has canceled all his vaudeville engagements for the season and accepted an engagement as leading men with the Woodward stock company, Kan- gas City. Mr. Farren, character actor in Mr. Huntington’s support, has also accept- ed an engagement with the Woodward com- pany. “The Snowman,” at the Lyceum, Lon- don, has turned out as frosty as its name. Charles Frohman had the call on this ex- tFavaganza, but under the circumstances declines to take It, and it is doubtful if it will be seen in America or anywhere else after it leaves the Lyceum getage, which will be soon. The young English Marquis of Anglesey is appearing in a lightning change act in a Munich music hall. He does it for fun, and because he has a knack of mak- ing up quickly.

Charles Klein, the librettist, appears to be gaining recognition as a playwright. lor next season he has already had a play ac- cepted by Charles Frohman, De Wolf Hop- per has engaged him _to write the libretto for a comic opera which he proposes to resent in England, and Sol Smith Russell as a new play from his pen. Hope Booth, beauty, who will star next season—partly, at least, on the strength of her looks—is going to spend the winter and most of the summer in Europe, traveling and seeing the dressmakers. And yet Hope was in the chorus only lately. But it has become a saying along the New York Rial- to that ‘“‘Where there’s life there’s Hope.” “Singularly enough, the great double- humped camel seen in ‘Ben Hur,’ at the Broadway Theater, New York, is named Ben Hur, was born in this country, was once one of the star features of Ben Wal- lace’s circus, and comes from Indiana, Gen, Lew Wallace’s State.’”’—From the ca- pe maw of the veracious press agent. retty good yarn, isn’t it? France was greatly interested In a coming farce, the mysterious title of which was ‘‘Shakspeare.’ It was wonderful what sort of fun could be made of the master of all playwrights. It turns out that the name was simply a ‘“‘gag,'’ the only Shaks- peare in the play being a pug dog, which appeared at the close of the last act. Goud trick, however, that title. Sol Smith Russell's retirement from the stage will be a long one, even if it does not turn out to be permanent. The day after his collapse in Chicago his manager an- nounced that he would be able to reappear in a week. Now it ts said he will try to fill out his unexpired two weeks engage- ment at the Grand Opera House there, and will then quit the stage for at least a year. Bijou Fernandez, actress, was the only rofessional] guest of Mrs. George Gould at wakewood Christmas week. Mrs. dez’s pretty daughter was the “baby” Daly’s when Mrs. Gould, then Edith King- don, was the juvenile actress of the Daly company. In those days, the small] Bijou was a great pet with Miss Kingdon, whose dressing room she shared, and the interest the elder actress had for the child, now a fetching young woman, has never waned, DEFAULT DIVORCES GRANTED.

It is hard to believe that we live i the world, so cramped and crippled, which the Genty incidentally describes, - In that curious essay the Abbe calls attention to the fact that thirteen little provinces on the ‘western shore of the Atlantic have made them- welves into an independent power. He intimates @istinctly that if America is ever to be of any use to the world it is to be through the moral agency of this company of emancipated provinces. = The Federal Constitution had just been made he wrote. He did not know ‘how it was to work, nor did anybody else know.

In the year 18038 Robert Fulton, in the city of Paris, so far gained the confidence of Napoleon that a commission of the Academy was appointed to see an expemmental steamboat which Fulton had ready for exhibition on the Seine. Early in the morning of the. day assigned for that exhibition Fulton was waked in his chambers with the news that the boiler and engine had broken through the boat, and were lying at the bottem of the Seine. This. was_ the end of Napoleon’s interest. in steamboats, Fulton crossed to England, built some torpedoes for the English Government and with the money they paid him came to America, where, in 1807, with the assis- tance of Chancellor Livingstone, he sent the Cler- mont up the Hudson. There is a curious mem- orandum in poor Mackintosh’s diary of that year. He was in exile, as he thought, in Calcutta, and he writes: “An American has built a steam- boat which went from New York to Albany, 150 miles, in 3 hours. At five miles an tour we are only a hundred days from Pngland. O, that we had been born a century later!’ In 1814 it was with the utmost difficulty that John Quincy Adams, who hated England, could push Mr. Gal- latin and Mr. Clay up to retaining the head waters of the Missouri and Mississippi as a part of the territory of the United States—so little did they apprehend that the steamboat of Ful- ton was going to open up those regions to civi- lization. We owe the great States of Wiscon- Nortbern Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota and the Dakctas to the pertinacity of Adams, and not t») any argument’which he was able to present as to the value of those territories. That value only appeared as the little steamboats of that dav ran against the current up Into those fer- tile regions, With the steamboat emigration from thé Wastern States to the Western States became easy. It was opposed steadily by the most intelligent people of the East, with the im- pression that the East would be exhausted and that the West would be worthless. In 1803 Napoleon was sure that he should go to war with England again. He knew very well that an English squadron would at once take possession of the mouth of the Mississippi River and that the French rights in Louisiana would cease in a moment. Napoleon wanted money, a8 great conquerors are apt to want money. He sent for the’ American Minister and sold Louisiana to him for fifteen millions of do!- lars. Livingstone, who received the proposal, accepted it with a promptness which shows that he was atruly great man. He wrote to Mr. Jef- ferson: “I Know that the price is enormous, but I have already made arrangements by which, if we wish, we can sell it to other parties and reserve to ourselves the city of Orleans, which is all that we need. I have told them that we shall not send one emigrant across the river in a hundred years."’ Our readers know how the pfrogress of the century has falsified this prophecy of the man who might have been called the wisest of Ameri- can statesmen at the time when it was uttered. Again, there was great opposition to giving the Government consent to the purchase, and for many years it was one of the standing accusa- tions against Mr. Jefferson that he had violated the Constitution by making it. To that purchase we owe it that we have any territory between the’ Mississippi River and the Rocky Moun- tains to-day. My object in writing these lines has been simply to show that when the century began no man, not the wisest’ had the slightest idea of the miracles whics it was t6 accomplish. I suppose that we are exactly in the same relation toward the twentieth century. But Ido not hagard much in saying that its victories are to be moral vic- tories. First, in our gigantic public schoo} sys- tem education, which ts one thing, Will take the place of inatruction, which is another thing and a very small thing. Second, the easy transmission of men and‘ wom- en from the parts of the world where they are not wanted to the parts of the world where they are wanted will increase, and will make the work! into one confederated nation. Third, this means that such plans as those proposed in The Hague conference will be wrought out tn detail.

BY JULIA WARD HOWE, Who Was an Early Advocate of the Abo- lition of Slavery and the Enfranchise- ment of Women, an Author and Poet. She Is Probably Best Known as the Author of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” DO OHOHOOGOOOOS0O0O0O4OO6494 6% 7" changes in the position of women which + Oo@ @ > Ww 2° this century has witnessed appear to those who take note of them little less than miraculous. Tis change has been brought about in great part by women themselves, leaders of the sex within the sex; women who have keenly felt the disabilities imposd upon them by law .and custom, and who have valorously striven to win fur themselves and their fellows the outlook of a larger liberty and the inspiration of ‘a loftier interpretation of womanly duty. While, however, we, recognize the part which leading women have had in the enfranchisement of their sex, we cannot ignore the fact that | other and very powerful agencies have been at” work in the same direction. Noble men who have been the champlors of freedcm for their own sex have‘had the discern- ment to perceive that the requirements of justice apply equally to the opposite sex. If men are en- titled to the free use of their faculties, why have not women the same right? This question has been answered in the affirmative by John Stuart Mill in England ond by Wendell Phillips, Will- iam Lloyd Garrison and many another brave soldier of freedom on this side of the Atlantic. Mereover, tte drift and impulse of the century has been in this direction. I was a girl in my teens when Frances Wright came to this country to speak in pub.ic in be..a.f of “Women’s Rights.’’ The theme. ver and unpopuiar at that time, wag not more odious tu the general public than the agency which brought it forward. ‘“‘A woman speak in public? How improper! liow wholly unfeminine!’’ A few years later this voice was multiplied. Then and there rose up wemen who darei to clain: the public attention on the platform, and who succeeded in winning it. Ernestine L. Moss, Mrs Stanton, Miss Anthony and Anna Dickinson became known as able and eloquent speakers. Abby Kelly Foster, the Grimbe sisters and May Stone woke the old ectoes of New England to a new and brave mu- sic. Not with difficulty, not without perseverence were the triumphs of popular oratory won by the No one has established herself more solidiy on thia field than Mary A. Livermore, who, a medal scholar of a Boston public school, sought admittance to Harvard College more ttan 40 years ago and was warned off as an innovator of a dangerous type. More fortunate, Lucy Stone put her pennies together and obtained a deck preseage to Cincinnati and a place among the pupits of Oberlin College. Even here prejudice weuld not allow her to read her own tre, * her graduativun, and, sturdy in her determination to speak for herself, she refused to allow it to be read at all. Early in the fifties Theodore Parker spoke to me of a letter written tim by two young giris in Northern New England. One of these asked permission to study theolbgy with him, the other desired to study law with Wendell! Phillips. F’arker was fully up to date regarding the woman question, but looked upon those proposals as quite wild and tmpracticable. George William Curtis, pleading in the same decade for the higher education of women, speaks of “that little needle” of the seamstress as standing between a multi- tude of women and the alternatives “ starva- tlon or degradation. — In ‘the early part of this siesiaihin century the bread-winnirig resources of women of the middle or higher class were limited to needlework. -troding or — Seermerm, Th sex. Which Ends Dec. 0) YEAKO KEVIEWED BY LE 1. 1900, Contributed to the mm, JOHN PHIL At the period of whieh I speak even women of fortune possessed nothing individually after their marriage. The ring which promised to endow them with all the bridegroom's earthly goods really endowed him with all that. belonged to them, even to the clothes that they wore. Their children were not their own. The father could dispose of them as he might see fit. Under these circumstances an unborn child might be, and often was, willed away from its mother, who thus could oniy look forward to the pangs of meternity, not the dear companionship which is their sacred and natural reward. Much of this barbaric legislation is now wiped out, and that ip great part by the efforts of the advocates of woman suffrage. Married women now in most of the States retain their property rights, and those of them who earn money have an uldisputed claim to its use. The legal.re.a- tion of mothers to their children is much im- proved, thoug’a not yet everywhere what it should be. I have again and again been one of a depu- tation charged with laying before a State Legis- lature the injustice of the law which forbids a husband to make a business. contract with his wife, and of that which denies to a married woman thre right to be appointed guardian of her chiidren. We reasoned also against what in legal lai: guage is termed ‘‘the widow's quarantine,” the ordinance which forbids a widow to remain in her husband's house more than 40 days without paying rent, the widower in such case possessing an unlimited right to abide under the roof of his deceased wife. Finally, we dared. to ask that night-walkers of the male sex should be made liable to the same penalties as are incurred by wcmen for the same offense. Our bil! “passed the Legislature and became part of the laws of Massachusetts, Few achievements in our century a Leoar more wonderful in retrospect than that of s. Harriet Beecher Stowe in writing “Uncle Tonf’s Cabin.” T&e matter of her story was not hew. The abusé¢s of power which she chronjeleg were fa- miliar to many in the North as well.as at the Scuth. The touch vf genius so illumfmated and combined the materials of this simple narrative that the heart of the nation rose up ito protest against the outrageous wrong of slavery. This was the master key which unlocked the inner citudel of conscience and set in motion the forces of deliverance. For herself, she achieved high fame. Crowds of admirers ‘hung upon her steps in Ergiand. Peer and commoner vied in, doing her homage. | The proposal to render women eligible for serv- ice on the School Board was met at firet with derision and with serious disapproval. The late Abby W. May had much to do with the early consideration of this measure, and the work which finally resulted in its adoption had its first begirning in the parlors of the New England Women’s Club, where especial meetings were held in its behalf. The extension of the school suf- frage to women followed, after much | work on the hart of men and of women. Col, q W. Hig- gin ‘n, Lucy Stone and Mrs. all united © public. _& number off of its late superintendent, Mrs. Ellen C. Johnsos, has been one of power and beneficence united. A reepect for the humanity of her inmates made itself felt through all her dealings With them. Won by her gentleness.and guided by her firm- ness, surely many who had grievously offended left that roof determined to sin no more, The services of women on the police force have also been adopted in some of our cities, with very ex- cellent results. Mrs. Josephine EB. Butler led a forlorn hope to attack an infamous social ordinance and pre- vailed, simply thro ‘tif® energy and persist- ence with which s appealed to the public sense of justice and of decency. Florence Night- ingale in her very girlhood conceived the plan of an educated ministry* for the needs of sick and wounded, Resolved to make this the leading study of her life, the war of the Crimea found her prepared to bring into the fleld an army of trained nurses, and to make her name a glory for her country and for the world. The horrors of the war were sreafly mitigated by her labors and those of her sistants, and her example encouraged our own brave women when their turn came to follow in the wake of their soldiers with ready aid and comfort. On the evening of Oct. 1, In the year 1847, Maria Mitchell of Nan- tucket_ Gisecovered a telescopic comet, and was thereafter, enabled to make good her claim to the gold medal (of twenty ducats value) whicn the King of Denmark had offered in 1831 as the reward for sueh a discovery. Miss Mitchell was in due time appointed as pro- fessor of astronomy at Vassar College, where her instruction was held in great esteem and her person in great affection. S me thirty or more years ago two women's clubs were started, almost simultaneously, one in Beeston and one in New York. This novel de- parture was regarded with much suspicion and fear of evil consequences, but the women who took part in it so made good their cause that kincred associations gradually “sprang up and multiplied. And now a general federation of women's clubs extends over this whole country and binds togethes, its wide-apart regions in a feilowship fruitful of good-will and good works. In the autumn of the year 1870 the fatal folly of the Franco-Prussian war moved me to indite and publish a document calling upon women ali the world over to unite their efforts to promote the settlement of international difficulties by the peaceful method of arbitration. My dominant thought was that women, as the mothers of men, ajone knew the cost of human life, and that this fact gave them a sacred and indisputable right t» become the guardians of the world's peace. [ followed this appeal with some years of ear- nes’ correspondence, culminating in a visit to England, in which I embraced every opportunity of p.eading for the united efforts of women to the end already mentioned, .My dream was of a mighty and august congress of mothers, which should constitute a new point of departure reste ony rardipe ei os imina ved and ng | ~ sing this important ma tate have coms {ae = R BO ; ein “4% ix *y ne prog: Se : ed 3 a eae in th bare Bs see a LP suffrage, musiipal, is secured y Wh Crrus EDSON in the very London where I lifted up tA voice praying for such an assembly, Neve that this event, In whose have had no part, will greatly tend tot in gether the women of civilized countries, and it is an important step in the world’s toward a great harmony of human Int Let us, in conclusion, take a ortef the domain of woman's activity as it now ¢ The three learned professions are now ' her, and few of our important «ities will be f t> be without women physicians, alded by t nurses, and women lawyers.

IN THE ISTH CENTURY. _- BY FREDERICK RENSEN HUTTON, Dean of the Department of Science in Columbia University. Applied . — ~~ T should be observed “at the outset when | the term science is*used to covér a knowl- edge of the laws of nature with respect to matter and force, that all human progress is linked to a progress in science. The commonest acta and. facilit of. daily life become possible when in accord ‘With knowledge of these laws; and the earth ‘yields her secrets of success and wealth to him _who pursues these objects in ac- cordance with her laws. Science furthermore can be conveniently. divided in its accepted sense into’ those departments on The ,one hand which aré pursued. for the. sake of knowledge alone and in onder to, penetrate further into the realm of the undiscovered; and on the other is science which is. pursued ag a means of livelihood or as a, vecation in which the laws of pure science are applied to an: industrial end. . The distinction must, therefore, be made, into pure science in the first group and,anplied science in the second. At the’ beginning of the century ghere was no vision. -Popular education was yet in oma , age pia - ‘sits Anfancy, .and @ distribution of wealth was as im six even States mothers have sau ¥ shit en See Welr children. Though in fmos | w that science could be followed only ie" few, and these pursued it for its own ' sake... Dhid-country is, therefore, rightly consid- ered ag. the century which owes its progress in civilization to the developments in applied science, and these developments, ‘in America, at any rate, are a logical consequence of our general educa- tion fostered by a keen recognition of the sig- nificance of @ pre-eminence in manufacturing. These together are the elements which have so developed the industrial tendencies of the Ameri- can people. a Se marked was the beginning of the century. by the pre-eminence of the pure sciencé idea ‘that th? realms of physics, chemistry and mechanics .- as we now differentiate them were then grouped under the one general name of natural philoso- phy.

It Would tb: well-nigh impossible in the limit which easebenA set to this discussion to do more than enuitie Ate the elements of debt in this latter Gert ‘of the century to the researches of the earlier parts” What is known as industrial — chemistry,.6f cheuistry applied. to manufactur- ing, is an immense Aubjeét in itself. Dyeing, calico printing, thée@vgar industries, the manufacture of rubber, celiigid, - the manufacture of paper, cera- mics, gas making, photography and process en- sraving need only be mentioned to bring up at once an idéa ot their significant importance, Daguerre and D¥aper presented their discoveries about 1836 to 183%: The wealth that has flowed to Germany from y utilization of the products de- rivable from ect tar in what are known as the aniline cOlors, ; the enormous savings from utilizing the waste’ in the coke process are enough in themselves to dignify the nineteenth century as history shail look back upon it. It is diffi- cult to realize that the first use of gas for street lighting and factories was at the te of thé nineteenth céntury. In the #tiencé which. is nindhtas nthe called phys- ics thereis gathered together a group of special- ties which are known as optics, acoustics, elec- tricity and heat. ‘The gréat advances made by Helmholtz in aeoustics belong to the nineteenth yr, ah and the promulgation of the mechanical ynamical theofty of heat was first made by Count Rumfor@ just before the beginning of the century, and dfs mathematical science has been developed: by Clausius, Zeuner, Rankine and ot’b- ers before the Gentury was half over. In elec- chemistry, and tricity the’ researehes of Faraday at the Royal , Institution concuf with the birth of our own Jo- seph Henry, and the birth of 8. 8. D. Morse dates from 1791.- It is from the researches of Faraday and Henry, AM@peére, Oersted, Franklin and Ohm that the mode n development’ of telegraphy and electrical > 7 ng,. properly so-called, had their birth. * Et fs enough to make mere men- tiun of the # graph and the telephone and the the electric motor as a means of conyertitig¢nergy into motion’ to make it obvious that the nineteenth century has brought it all about, and) th t the, latter part of it has been by far the : active. In the fiela of science, in which belongs the practice iat. Medicine and surgery, it is safe to say th Mineteenth century ‘has seen it all. Vaccin as proposed in 1796, and Hahnemann Heine ob Modifying theories with respect to the old practice of medicine during the years 17%6- 1805. Anesthesia was first suggested in 41816 in a practical way, although Davy had already investigated nitrous-oxide gas before this. The names of Morton, Ives and Simpson, presenting ether and chloroform, all belong to the first half The antiseptic treatment of dis- eases, wounds and lesions, and the theory’ of micro-organisms as the concomitants, or occasions of disease, .signalize this present century and its latter half. Mention need only be made of anti- toxine in. diphtheria cases, and the Work of Pas- teur- J The nineteenth century ‘will be remembered for its achievements in the field of industrial metal- lurgy.. It has seen the substitution of metals for many purposes tu which’ wood was formerly ap- pliea. It has seen the development of the rolling mill for producing merchant shapes of iron; it has seen the introduction of the Bessemer and open-hearth processes for making steel of all qualities upon a large scale. It has seen the substitution of steel for planking in ships, the substitution of steel for beams and posts in struct- ural engineering, and it has seen the production of steel railway rails at prices and in quantities which have permitted an intercommunication be- tween the different sections of this great land which would have been inconceivable at the be- ginning of the century. It is impossible to over- estimate the significance of this factor in the agricultural, “the\industrial, the social. and the political development of the United States and of the world. Time would fail to speak of the meaning of therintroduction into industry of the allcys which afe now so common and all of which belong te the century just closing. In the field of hydro-dynamics, or water power engineering, the century has seen the replacement of the great overshot water wheel, which would have been impracticable in many places, by the lighter, quick-moying turbine or impulse wheel. This has meant the possibility of a development of the energy-resident in falling water for in- dustrial punposes, such as the early part of the century would not have dreamed of, and’ the utilization of great powers, such as at Niagara aud on the St: Lawrence and in many places -west of the Rocky. Mountains, and Switzerland, where has been most beneficently applied to relieve fhe “community from the drudgery of mere, ™ war exertion, This last) th) ight leads to that feature of the nineteenth! @@: tury which is perhaps the most sicuifioant jof..11 in the real progress of the race in this x _» JOHN PHILIP SOUSA, Director and Composer, Whos¢ Marches ; Have Won Him Internationst Wetae. S oe century now drawing to a. close a cursory ; glance over the political field of the world © must have clearly shown that old ideas and inati- tutions were being swept away and the world was starting in with a grand sweep for better conditions. As’ Music is the most” of ali the arts to move and éxcite the’ it was natural-that the revolution in the body politic should have been accentuated in sphere of musical art. Nations just from revolution, from tyranny, from Preece and national. degradation, looking into the _pun- light of Hberty and freedom, could find no better means of expressing their thoughts than in heroic measures and loud acclaim of musical sounds. Demestic love—the necessity of hearts—found . happiness 4n’ songs of sentiment. Military valor - told’ ‘the stofy of its victories in the rhythmic strains of maftial airs. As Hterature, politics and man hifsélf broadened out, so music became a more important art in the beginning of the present century. Perhaps the first of the writers of this cent to impress his genius and to leaye the imprint 2 his talent in the world of ‘popular music was Rossini... When it is realized that he was born in 1792 and that one-of the most popular, if pore T° ONE oak 3 en the threshold . of. rate -most popular, pieces of music in the world today ek Fo is his ““‘William Tell” overture, it s for the brilliant’ opening of this not think’ it: is gding too far to say thathin: the’ five centuries of music as we know. it ‘century cards des ear Se: The atl: parent surface = P . _- : a ot diet; were . ata 3 while smallpox cin in the community. > As popu creased | About the. year 10 introduced te Sal and about mee ea were “of loose reals vearth, whieh aoe ». tnto”the wells, ae age - Foe ag about to close has been the greatest: in imyentive- ‘y ness, in scope.and in general results; ; ination of- one ‘school of music as it eighteenth century has ‘given way to the last years of the nineteenth century, to., domination of the best of all schools. To-day the master minds of musi¢ have their. own tyDpes,..express their feelings both as nationé¢.. alists and as individuals, and impart to their com- position the typical characteristics of thelr na-~ tions, whereas before this century, even men &# great as Handel, Gluck and Mozart wrote. in the style belonging to a nation the antipodes of sare: own. While all these masters, and | lally- Mozart, made reforms or. changes. in. operate treatment, either the musical tyranny of the peo- ple would not permit them to depart so radically frora the fashionable forms of their art as did thelr great successors, Weber and Wagner, or else they were unable to gain such a clear insight into the possibilities of the lyric drama as those later masters Of the art. The great achievements of Beethoven's life, who was born in 1770, were made during the present century, as his ‘‘Fidelio” and his Heroic and Ninth and Pastora) sympho- nies were written after 180. The beginning of the century gave birth to mén whose . are still in vogue, such as Bellini,.. te. Herold, Halevy and many others whose works are known to the world at large. Of the great figures of the century in opera I should name Wagner first, Verdi. second, Meyer- beer third, Weber fourth, Rossini fifth, and then in places of honor among composers Auber, Don- izetti, Bellini, Herold and Filotow. The jatter, while charged with being an fmitator of other national schools, has written two works that still hold the stage of the worlkd—“Martha” and “Stradella.”’ The century that has developed 4 Schubert, a Schumann, a Mendelssohn, a Wagner, a Verdi, a Lisst, a Tschaikowaki, a Rubinstein, a Berlioz, a Chopin, a Brahms, a Gounod, a Mas- senet, a Saint-Saens and a countless array of wonderful instrumental performers, melodists and harmonists can point with pride to its achieve- ments and the development of musica) art.
