With one excep- tion, where there was light at all in city institutions and public buildings, it glowed faintly from oil lamps and candles. The exception is the Insane Asylum, whose superintendent, Dr. Runge, unwiling to ‘incur the risk and re- sponsibility of lighting his inetittuion in such a dangerous way, put up $75 out of his own pocket to secure a continuance of elec- tric lighting during a week. He says he will contsmue to defray the expense of eiec- tric lighting until the city again does its duty in this direction.

The charter provides merely that the Council shall approve the contract. This contention was given up when the last bill was passed. The Board of Public Improvements is hurrying the advertising and letting of the contract under this bill as rap'!dly as pos- sible, but no action of theirs in this matter could relieve the present situation.

The opinion in part is as fo.lows: “With regard to the charge of indignities, take away the evidence concerning the two occasions when the defendant went to St. Vincent's Hespital, there is little ieft except gereral and vague charges made by the de- fendant and her daughters. The testimony of p.a.ntiff and her witnesses, when weighed by the side of that of the defendant and his witnesses, taking into consideration the interest and manner of all the witnesses, is to my mind insufficient to establish a pre- ponderance in her favor as to the facts charged excepting as found with regard to two occasions referred to. “Tam satisfied that most of the material incidents testified to by the plaintiff and her witnesses occurred during the two pe- covering several days each, of in- ‘toxication in May, 18%, and November, 1897. I don't think the two periods of intoxica- tite ‘Tried him _ these two periods, standin ————- | tion, which occurred when the plaintiff was in the city, even as she describes them, amount to indignities, for two reasons: First, they resulted from the diseased appe- which the defendant possessed to the knowledge of the plaintiff when ehe mar- and, on each occasion, he volun- tarily put himself under restraint: second, remotely apart, and disconnected from each other, and from other acts and indignities, are not sufficient in themselves; nor, under the circum- stances and facts as 1 find them, tend to the subversion of the famiiy relation. “It is evideni, too, according to the tea- timony of the plaintiff herself, that all the acts of the plaintiff taken together did not render the condition of the plaintiff intol- erable in point of fact. On the contrary, she besought him, as she testifies, to con- tinue the relation; even when it came to the summer trip she sald she would have preferred not to leave him. I do not miean to withhold commendation from a wife who forbears to leave her husband be- Cause of his m.sconduct, or to -@ay that, if after such forbearance on Mer part he finally - her away from him, she is not justified in bringing his former miscon- duct into court. But, where the evidence is conflicting or of a doubtful character as to the husband's conduct, [ think her atti- tude towards him pérard'ng a seperation is properly to be considered as bearing on the weight of her testimony. “Now, as tothe separation itaelf. It sufficient tovsay that his conduct. If It amouRted to desertion, would not for that reason alone sustain plaintiff's petition. She does not claim this. The starutory pe- riod for desertion aa a gxround for divorce had not expired when this suit was fled. His conduct in this matter !s charged as an in- dignity. If tt was such, still it would not be sufficient. If he deserted her. she has her remedy in another action, which can- notavall her here. “No doubt, these parties became es- tranged in feeling soon after their marriage. No doubt defendant fatied to treat plaintiff at all times with proper respect. Nor was she entirely faultiees from her own testimo.- ny and that of her daughter, Hattie—par- ticularly in the deposition of the latter—ir appears that she said some severe and ir- ritating things to defendant. She claims provocation. Probably she had it. If these parties had both been blameless they would tot be here In this urmhappy attitude. It is, however, the duty of the court to re- fuee a divorce unilcas it clearly appears that the defandent has been geuy of such con- duct as the statute apecificaly designates as a ground for divorce." | nate a stra’ght party ticket in the Legis- lature since failure to reach agreement with the anti-Goebel Democrats.

Pilcher, left Belmont yesterday at noon, on a march westward, covering WD miles before sunset. The force encamped at Cook's Farm, where the troops were welcomed enthusiastically. At 6 o'clock this morning the force approached a spot where a laager of the Boers was reported. Col. } Pilcher on approaching the position, which was a line of strong kopjes, detached Maj. De Rougemont with the guns, Torontos and mounted infantry to work towards the right, making a turning movement himseif with the Queenslanders towards the south position. The maneuver was a complete success. The Britiah shelis were the firat indication of the presence of the troops.

The balance sheet of the Post-Dispatch for 1899, published in the Sunday and Monday issues of this paper, tells the story of business prcsperity. 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. ooples. The claimed circulation 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 o that newepaper by 47,131 copies. In 1898 the Globe-Democrat, then the recgonized médium for such advertisements, printed 253,878 wants. The Post- Dispatch printed 234,341. In 1899 the Globe-Democrat printed 261,627—a gain of 7749. The Post-Dispatch printed 276,150—a gain of 41,809. For the year 1899 the Post-Dispatch leads the Globe-Democrat by 14,525. In total advertising the progress of the Post-Dispatch is not less remarkable. In 1898 the Republic printed 10,692 columns; in 1899 §t printed 11,477 columns—a gain of 785 columns, In 1898 the Globe-Demo- crat printed 12.946 columns; in 1899, 13.702 columns-—ra gain of 756 columns. In 1898 The Post-Dispatch printed 11,466 col- umns; in 1899 14,149 columns—a gain of 2683 columns. The gain in circulation testifies to the public confidence in the honesty, accuracy and cfficiency 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 the Sunday Post-Dispatch of Dec. 31 with this challenge and record was sent to every metropolitan news- paper 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 arid the same measures of prosperity during the coming vear that we confidently expect for the Post-Dis- patch. Last year a Missouri farm of 270 acres was rented for $900 cash. The farmer who became the tenant made a living for his family, nad pasturage for his stock, and received $2000 in the sale of the products, he and his two boys—one 15 years old, the other 17—doing all the work. There are people who can draw money out of a farm if they can get one in Mis- sourti. —_ —_ ° -- -— — “War produces unwriten laws,” says the Senatorial cuckoo of Minnesota in defense of the President's open violation of the Constitution.

The new year 1900 looks to our British friends a guvod deal like old 1776. The Administration doesn’t see why the country should get into a pet over only one pet bank. § Since a foreign hotel rolled into the sea, there have been no calls for fresh rolls at the seaside. The slaughter of titled foreigners in the Boer war is inex- pressibly sad for un-American American heiresees. The man who continues to put the °99 date on his letters is a statesman compared with the fellow who sends “marked” papers with no mark whatever. Dismissed Secretary of War Alger has read with interest of the recent poisoning of a regiment of soldiers who ate putrid beef while on their way to Manila. It ia to be hoped the present Secretary will go to the root of the matter. The Prince of Wales is.a safe man and, in some respects, a wise one. Instead of putting himself at the head of a fight- ing force in South Africa, where the Red Cross flag is droop- ing so much, he patriotically appears at the English station when the troops are departing. a li i ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The king of Swed- en, on reading the dispatch, noticed that his own name and titles were followed by two “etceteraa,’’ while the name of the king of Poland was followed by three. The miseing “‘etcetera’’ ao enriged the king of Sweden that he at once deciared war egainst Poland. The war Was carried on with great b'tternese until 1600, when a poace was signed at Olivia, near Dantzig.

Another Argument Based on the Myth- ical Year “0.” To thé Editor of the Post-Diapatch. I see a great deal published about when the twentieth century begins, some clainmi- ing Jan. 1, 1901 as the date. Now to start with the beginning of the first century, the first day could not have been Jan. 1, as it certainly. took 35 days to constitute that year. So it must have been reckoned by the first day of the first year and so of unt!] Soo days had elapsed, and then came Jan. 1 A. D: 1. Consequently the firat day of January, 100, would be the first day of the second century. Am I right? ONE WHO CLAIMS TO-DAY AS THE REGINNING OF THE TWENTIETH CTNTURY. St. Louis.

In response to personal requests to ex- tend the rate, Doctor Copeland said: “I will do better than your request. You ask for one week and I will give one month, I will extend the $3 rate until the 3lst day of January. It cannot be said then that there is not abundant time.”’ So Doctor Copeland has given the ben- efit of the rate for another full month, which is time enough to answer every appeal and request that has been made. Such, then, is the reason for extending the benefits of the Copeland practice to those unable to meet the time limit.

According to dispatches from Roane Pope Leo, after the recent ceremony of opening the holy door at St. Peter’s, publicly indi- cated to the assemblage that he desire: Cardinal Girolamo Maria Gotti, prefect of the congregation of indulgences and sa- cred relics, as his successor. ‘ It is hard to tell how the candidature of Cardinal Gotti sprang into existence. He is a monk of the barefooted Carme'i- lite order and is as Ligurian as Pope Ju- lius IT. He displayed diplomatic qualities of the highest order in the mission to Brazil confided to him by Leo XIII. In that country, in addition to the conflict going on between the civil and religions authorities, the church was In considerable danger on account ofthe lack of disci- pline which prevailed among the clergy and the ep'scopate. To the great astonishment of every one the Pope selected the superior vf the barefooted Carmellites, who hap- pened to be Father Gotti, to put an end to disorder and re-establish harmony be- tween the religious and civil powers. Father Gotti in two or three years tri- umphed over all difficulties, and his suc- cess Was so complete that on his return ihe Holy Father decreed him a cardinal’s hat. He has already a small court formed of those who believe his success probable, who honor him as though he were already elected. But he does not take much notice of these flatterers Cardinal Gotti wae born in Genoa March 29, 1834. In his ear!'y youth he joined the Discalced Carmelite Order, and after con- cluding his etudies with distinguished suc- cess was ordained priest and transferred to the mother house of that order at Santa Maria della Scala, Rome, to take up cer- tain administrative functions there.

This was his -position when serious tress broke out in Brazil. Cardinal Gorti has his residence palace overlooking the Trajan Forum. He is rather smal in stature, of kindly fea- tures and exquisite affability. He is stil! endowed with all the energies of youth and conversant with every aubject under the sun. All the best qualities of the scholar, the diplomat and the churchman enter into his composition. Into Italian politics he has never thrust himself, and this fact, oined with his intrinsic qualities, makes im be regarded by many of the most quali- fied judges ax the man very likely to be chosen by the College of Cardinals to suc- ceed Leo XIII. on the pontifical throne.

Suggestions That Will Dispel the Idea of There Having Been a Year 0. The idea of a year 0 (by which 1899 is made to complete 1900 years) has proved to If there was a year 0. why not a century Perhaps we should begin counting our ages one year later, making each of us a year younger than we sup- posed! To such a state of mind has this top'c carried some of the disputants.

According to telegraphic advices to the Post-Dispatch Vuesday those in Loa Ar- Keles who are niost deeply interested ir the strange case sti!i believe thet the Wolfsohn Who obtained a $10.00) insurance policy there is dead. They make t)hils declaration in the face of the fact thut the man who appeared before his relatives in Chicago and made affidavit that he was Aaron Waifsohn has Visited Los Ange.es and submitted to all known teste of identifi-acion.

Two Surprises at Music Hall. “It is a far, far better thing that I do ‘drama to aid him—alone on @ stage—it is than I have ever done before.” These, the last words of “The Only Way,” spoken by Henry Miller, as Syd- ney Carton, standing on the scaffold, ens to face with death, epitomize the play that they finish. For it is a far, far better thing than any he has ever done before, his acting in this startling drama, and the play itseif, is better, tow, than any vehicle that he has had heretofore, for his talents. n face, it enables him to reveal abilities a knew not of, in the matinee idol of the “Heartsea-e'" days. And in expioiting Henry Milier, actor, this play adds to its own strength, as he, Henry Millier, makes the play stronger, even tnough it is mighty before. The play of “The,.Only Way” consists of some scenes leading up to the third act, the trial, which is ihe apparent climax, some more scenes, and a final tableau that in its artisti¢ beauty and = effectiveness the rest subsrevient to ‘itserf, the real climax, as it is a.so the Its a sad ernd—it could not be other- wise.

Age it is, there is so.emnity, faith and trust..and God-like sacrifice, with none of the repulsive bioodiness and soul-revolt- ing: It ts cthercalized—as it should be. fi is wrong, perhaps, to write of a play from exit to entrance, as it were, but the profound Impression of that beautiful finale is too great to be suppressed or even to' be forced into its proper place. So, too, ‘must one treat of the trial scene, in the third act. There the French revolution is incarnated, and we have al! the awfulness of that [frightful time thrust home to us, flaunted in our faces, jabbed and seared into our souls. Not even in was ever mob like that. It is the essence of hatred; reckless, vfil- lainous, unconfined by law or logte. It {s human delineation of “blind = fury,’ in its fearsomeness.

It drags a bit at times, and once it is really bad, in that a fine bit is spoiled by being too jong drawn out. When Mimi guesses, in the first part of the last act, the tntent of Car- ton to change pate with Darnay—then, the scene should end, The rest of it is Ir- relevant and inartistic. And, too, there is rocm for cutting in the second act, with its too much talk and too little action there- abouts, The prologue is hazy, but Ks pur- port is told in words, later in the wee: So one knows, before the final curtain, why it is there. The part ofLuucte Manette is a weak one, and is not well played, and Mim! could be done better. It is an interpolated part, made for the play from the Iktle seamstress in the book, but is nefther nec- essary nor, being there, well acted. In fact, the only good work by the feminine part of the company is by the furies in the trial scene. But they make up for the others’ poorness, Of the men—strong praise is due most of them. Henry Weaver, Jr., as Defarge; J. Staddart as Mr. Lorry; Byron Douglas as Darnay—these, the principal characters, The smaller parts are also well filled, and barring the two women spoken of, the company is a strong one. Ae for Mr. Miller himself, he has given us a side of his art that we never suspected he possessed, and he has made a new name for himself in a part @f the dramatic world that before knew him only by an already high, but rather a light reputation. He Is to-day, in this part at least, really great. And what a future he has! The play as a whole follows the book closer than many that we have had this season. Even as it stands, it Is a wonder- i ful creation. With a few changes, it would be much stronger, and shorter. The idea of telling the last of the story in a few tableaux, as it were, is excellent, and again, the highest praise is due the artistic fn- stinct that created the finale: It ts @ far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done; it is a far, far better reet that eS a mae —_— - x hereafter she will alternate with the et uesque prima donna in that role.
