I do not believe she wou!d live through a rial, and for her sake | don the stripes. I killed Baker in self- | defense and I believe that I could prove it to a jury.” Aligaier’s case Js one of the most re- markable of any on the criminal] dockets in St. Louis in recent years. The offense with which he was charged was the killing of James A. Baker, on August 21, 189. He Stood trial in December of that year. The trial attracted great attention at the time on account of the legal fight that was made. Ex-Gov, Charles P. Johnson was retained as special counsel to assist in the prosecution. William §. Anthony and Bass & Martin appeared for the defense. The trial lasted for more than three weeks. At the end of that time the jury was out for two days and the result was a mistrial. Seven of the jurors agreed that Campbell Allgaier was guilty of murder in the first degree and they wanted to punish him by enone | the death penalty. Five of the urors believed he was fully justified in iling Baker and they agreed that their verdict would be “‘not guilty.’ They would not agree to anything but an acquittal of all charges. As a result the jury was dis- charged and another trial was ordered. Since then there have been a number of continuances for one reason and another. The sudden close of the case came as 4 surprise, for Aligaier has gained many friends since his first trial, and both he and his wet | were confident of making @ much better showing than they did before. James A. Baker, who was killed by Camp- bell Allgaier, was forman for the Arajestic Range Company. He lived with his young wife on Ridge avenue, a few doors west of ae highway.

Judge Ferriss declares that. in his opinion, the policies are so worded that Florence Yocum acquired a vested in- terest In them which became complete upon her father’s death, whether she survived him or not. The palicy could not have been changed without her consent, says the court, and clearly that was never given. For these reasons the money of the poll- cles is awarded to J. H. Zumbolen, trustee of Miss Yocum’s estate. In touching upon the question of survivor- ship for not deciding the case along tha: line, Judge Ferriss says: “Kacer asserts in his fourth proposition that where there is no proof of survivor- ship, the law will dispose of the case as if they had died at the same moment, al- though there is no proof of such a fact and that this case must be settled upon the Ressmngtion that they died at the same me. “The application of the doctrine so con- tended for is limited to cases of inheri- tance or testamentary disposition of prop- erty. Where one, who would succeed by in- heritance or bequest if he had maewtund. perishes in a common disaster with his an- cestor or testator, the succession fails, in the absent of proof of survivorship, and the property goes as if they had died at the same moment. But there is no pre- sumption that they did die at the same moment. If the egal representatives of Florence were claiming through a will of her father, giving her the property, ‘if sur- tegen, the doctrine would apply, because the administrator has the prima facie right to personal property owned by deceased, but it has no application where the rights arise upon the contract of the insurance company, and the cases cited as to the steure OF puacsenem are not in print.

Here both parties claim, and practically against the insurance company, upon the contract. This contract is to be construed like any other contract. The company promised to ay, in the first instance, to Florence. ‘his obligation stands until {t is shown ney her right to the payment has been ost.”’ This case concerns only the disposition of the insurance money, and the decision will not affect the remainder of the estate d its division w@ !

Palmer and Mrs. Shaffer Seriously Injured. ‘DRIVER OF THE CARRIAGE HURT. DELMAR AVENUE CAR CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE. Mrs. Palmer, Who Is More Than 90 Years Old, May Not Survive the Shock of the Accident. Guess As Mrs. Samuel V. Monks rode from her home, 3014 Pine street, to the Delmar ave- ue Baptist Church, Sunday morning, the bright sunshine and the balmy breezes turned her thoughts to her friend, Mrs. Virginia Shaffer, and the latter’s aged nother, Mrs. N. R. Palmer, They had both been ill lately and their good friend, Mrs. Monks decided that the convalescents would enjoy a oarriage ride under such favorable weather conditions. So, after alighting in front of her church at Delmar and Pendleton avenues’ Mrs. Monks instructed her ccachman, Edward Clynn, colored, to drive to 78 Newstead avenue, where Mrs. Shaffer and her mother reside, take them for:a drive and return to the church about the time the services were concluded, Clynn started off as ordered, but, when the church services were over, he had not returned with the carriage. Instead came a message to Mrs. Monks informing her of a shocking and possibly tragic termination to the friendly project she had inaugurated. Civnn had catied at 72 Newstead avenue, as directed, and taken the two ladies out. ‘Their drive was quite a pleasant one south on Newstead and west on Delmar, but when nearing Belt avenue, on Delmar, the driver attempted to cross from the north to the south side of the street, and the carriage was struck by a Delmar avenue car. Clynn was thrown from the top of the carriage, the vehicle was overturned and its two unfortunate occupants dumped into the strect. Passengers in the street car prompt- ly lifted the injured ladies from the wreck, summoned carriages and took them to their home. Clynn was taken, to the Monk resi- dence. Monday morning Mrs. Shaffer received a Post-Dispatch reporter, with her head swathed in bandages. ‘My injuries consist of a severe scalp wound and though it has pained me se- verely, I am not at all worried about my- f my mother’s condition is very se- She is 91 years of age and I fear she will never get over this shock. Her wrist is broken, her back wrenched and I fear she is internally injured, She is con- stantly on a rack of pain. “We heard no bell ring and I am sure none was rung. We had a carefu] driver and he, poor tellow, was injured, too.’’ Ciynn is at his home, 2721 Wash street, with his arm in a sling and with the en- tire right side of his face fearfulliy bruised, cut and swollen. Hs was taken there from the Monks residence Sunday night. He is 49 years old and has been in the employ of the Monks family for over 30 years. Mrs. Monks is sure the accident was not due to carelessness on his. part. “If they had rung a bell it wouldn't have happened,’ he said Monday morning. “As I crossed the track I looked around and the car was right on me. It was too late for me to do anything then.”’ The railway officials are inclined to throw the blame for the accident on Clynn. “Tf the driver tried to cross the track twelve feet ahead of the car, as I am informed he did,” said Division Superin- tendent George W. Baumhoff of the Lindel] Ratiway this morning, ‘“‘what could he ex- wt? Did the motorman ring the bell? Vell, what can a motorman do when a Carriage ia only twelve feet from him? He was doing well to slacken the speed of the car at all. The law says all drivers ‘should stop, look and listen’ before at- tempting to cross a car track. I do not be- lieve the driver followed the law in this case.”’ MRS. BESSIE MULLALLY HURT. Knocked Down and Injured by a La- clede Avenue Car.

Local Weather Forecaster Hyatt says there will be 23 feet of water in the chan- nel of the Mississippi River at this point before the end of the week. The gauge now registers 20 feet. The railroad and shipping Interests are already making anxious inquiries and fear the danger point, 30 feet, may be reached. After ® feet is passed the Vandalia road will begin to suffer. Dr. Hyatt does not say that it will exceed that figure, but admits the probabilities as the illinois and Mis- souri rivers are swollen and there are sub- stantial rises in the northern Mississippi. The weather map shows a “low’’ to the north. ‘There is another to the southwest of St. Louis and this will keep the tem- perature moderate in Missouri until Tues- day evening, when a ‘nigh’ from the Rockies is due. The visitor is expected to drop the mercury to 2 or 38 degrees beiow freezing point. On the extent of this cold ‘“‘snap’’—Dr. Hyatt says it is too late for ‘‘waves’’— will depend the rapiaity of the river’s rise. Should it reach sufficient area to check the flow of the small streams initio the Missouri and Illinois Rivers the Mississippi may stand at ® feet until the- greater volume of water has passed out. Just what this “‘snap’”’ will amount to, Dr, Hyatt does not like to suy, and can advence no further calculations on the river's height until he learns what {fs in it, Twenty fee: puts the river in the lowlands of Little Oklahoma and creates a great stir throughout the shanty. boat colony from Baden ‘tv Carondelet. In Little Oklahoma there is a wild struggle going on to get higher up the long ineline taward the Bur- lington tracks. Many familles are taking advantage of the rise to cast loose for a trip South. The rise in the river here since Saturday has been 2.5 feet, which is @ pretty good rise, says Dr. Hyatt. Peoria reports a rise of 2 feet; Grafton, 1.9 feet: Kansas City, 11 feet, and Boon- viile, 2 feet. The river is reported frozen as far south as Hannibal.

WASHINGTON, March 12.—There is reason to. believe that the United States Government is using its good of- fices to restore peace between Great Bri- tain and the South African republics. This has not taken the shape of a proffer iof mediation, as that would be distinctly 'repugnant to Great Britain. | But the United States may properly |serve as an intermediary to transmit an |appeal for peace and the terms upon | which peace can ‘be secured. The United | States has successfully served in this ca- | pacity in the past, notably in the termina- ‘tion of the China-Japanese war, and it is believed its good offices in this line are “now being extended. If this belief is well | founded then Adelbert Hay, United States | Consul to Pretoria, has been the instru- ‘ments for transmitting to the British 'Government, through the double inter- | vention of the State Department and Am- bassador Choate, an application from Presidents Kruger and Steyn to be in- formed as to the terms upon which the | war can be ended. LONDON, March 12.—The War Office .his morning issued the following dispatch from Lord Roberts: : ‘“‘Aasvogel, March 12, 5:30 a. m.—We were unopposed during the march yesterday. The officers I left at the last camp to record the list of casualties have not yet arrived. The following additional casualties are known, however: “Killed—Lieuts. F. N. Parsons and A. B. Coddington of the Essex Regiment. Wounded—Lieuts. C. Berkeley, severely; Lloyd Arm and G. H. Raleigh. “Gen, Gatacre reports that he was with- in a mile of the Bethulle Railway Bridgo yesterday. The bridge was partially de- stroyed and the enemy was holding the op- posite bank.” DREIFONTEIN, March 11.—The enemy opposed us throughout yesterday's march, and, fram their intimate knowledge of the country, gave us considerable trouble. Ow- ing, however, to the admirable conduct of the troops, the enemy were unable to pre- vent us reaching our destination. The brunt of the fighting fell on Gen. Kelly-Kenny’s divisions, two battaltions of which, the Welsh and Essex, turned the Boers out of two strong positions at the point of the bayonet. I cannot give the precise number of casualties before I march, but will com- municate it as soon as possible. The Boers suffered heavily, 102 of their dead being left on the ground. We captured about 2 pris- oners. Among the killed were Capt. Eustace of the Buffs, Capt. Lomax of the Welsh Regi- ment, and Mr. McKartile, a retired Indian civilian, attached to Kitchener’s Horse. Among the wounded are: Buffs—Col. Hickson, leg, severe; Lieut. Ronald. Welsh Regiment—Lieuts. Pape, Wimberley. Pesex Regiment—Capt. Broadwoad, Field artillery—lAeut. Devenish. Medical Corps—Maj.

ON THE MODDER RIVER, Feb. Modder the land was green in its way. It had at least on it a make-believe of grass, a sparse dried, untoothsome looking herb- age, which man and beast accepted as fod- der. Now it isa blazing red waste of sand. The waste which extends along the sand Is intensified as regiment is added to regiment, battalion to hattaltion, battery to battery, troop to troop. The dust which was oncera nuisance !s now little less than a plague. It is always being stirred—by the strings aft horses on their way to watering, which pass and repass to the river almost eevry hour of the day, by the kicking, squealing droves of transport mules, by the long spans of oxen. It rises on the stillest days, without warning in thin, twisting spirals of yellow sand, which take their own way, beautiful and abominable across the camp. befouling everything, upsetting everything that stands across their course, and reach- ing for hundreds of feet upward into the still blue sky. \. But the dust devils are little more than ae amusement to our dust-ridden souls. It is the dust which comes, not in dally spirals, but in overwhelming clouds, that we fear; which hides, not a tent here and there, but the entire camp, the roof of heaven, all vestige of the world; which blinds the eyes and brings blood to the eye- lids, fills the mouth with its gritty foulness, and coats every inch of the body with a film of brown; which lasts not for a few blustering moments, but for hour after hour of unrelieving discomfort, during which it is impassible to ride, to write or to for- give one’s enemies. Well, we shall have, please heaven, but few more days of it now. After the dust—and but a short way after —the filles. One used to think, as a child, that the Exyptians were let off rather lightly with files. A short stay by the Modder alters that opinion. The tent Is black with them, the jampots hum under the hand that lifts them from the table. and the files pour out between one’s fingers like black spouts of water. A sudden pyra- mid of them farms on every morsel of food, and one's hand is never at rest sweeping them from one’s face. They follow the ink as one writes In search of some fresh ex- perience, and the pen Is clogged with their severed feet. Beyond doubt, one did the Egyptians an injustice. But with the dust and the files trouble ceases. There are ‘aw % Vw - ee When the first shot was fired across the | scores of scorpions, no doubt tarantul and other little things of the kind, but the are but incidental worries. Against them. must. be set the Magnificent sunlight, day after day, the clear, cool night, the plenti- tude of the air. A In the day the sun feels like a heated iron held close to the skin; one can not hold a piece of wood which has been lying in it. The deep, hot, red sand makes in- tolerable the soles of one’s boots, and the dust rises at each footstep, and clings to everything that moves. To and fro In their midst, in a trail of dust that never’ settles, move the long strange trains of transports, continuously. Open wagons filled with men, or piled with guns, or wi*" men piled above the guna, like somi blematic car in a procession; long country carts half tented, brimming campequipment alternating with nave ordnance hooded in ollskin, or a string of gray pontoons, At evening, from one of those low hills by the river it looks like one of the great fairs of Southern Russia, for in the twi- ight the veldt has something of the dark- ness, silence and mystery of the Steppe. Its purples are not so deep as those that twilight wears above the black earth of the Volga, but they have clearness and space. And the resemblance is strengthened when the floating silvery veil of dust which seems to rise with the evening gives te all within it a magic distance—the tents the tethered horses, the ungainly carta, ? orange brightness of the canfp fires—wh out on the darkening veldt the laboring spans of oxen can only be seen to move by the growing tall of dust behind them.

The eye of the visitor is dazzled by the exhibition of shirt waists. The display of these Waists is as complete as it is at- tractive. They come in every conceivable combination of harmonious hues and at- tractive patterns. Their beauty is of the complex variety difficult to describe. One new variety comes direct from Paris, It has the Mrenc! h back, straight front and new dress sleeves. The front is a mass of tucks, lace and embyoidery. Those who | have seen them say they are the prettiest novelties in that ilne seen in St: Louis for many a day.

Shown in connection with the silks are a number of very pretty large silk handkerchiefs to be used as Waists. Besides there are plain dress goods in all the pastel shades, all of them marked at atiractive prices. There are special offerings in boys’ and in misses’ and children’s goods. These their complete- ness and also for their style and quality. They are well worth an inspection. But if there is one display more than another that fascinates the ladies jit is the exhibition of up-to-date gowns. Many are of the tailor-made variety and they come in a sufficiently elaborate as- sortment of styles and shades to please all tastes. Among those shown are a Dumber of imported gowns. Taese are stunning in tLeir attractiveness and are the source of a continual flow of comp, imentary expres- sions. Two of these Parisian gowns, in particular, are beautifully appliqued. In close competition for the favor of tho admiring visitors is the assortment of slik skirts shown. They come in almost as many and as beautiful shades as the shirt- waists, though there are more solid colors.

TOPEKA, Kan., March 12,—Although Arst paper to be issued by the Rev. Chas M. Sheldon on the lines whieh he believes Christ would follow will not be printed till the to-morrow morning, the menace of it already started an effort at municipal and social reform. A drug store proprietor was arrested yesterday for selling liquor ille- | gally and the police to-night will raid “drug stores,” “‘speak-easles,’’ “‘holes in the wall,”” gambling dens and other even more disreputable resorts in this professedly moral prohibition town. These institutions not only flourish, but with the flimsiest mockery of concealment, flaunt themselves along Kansas avenue, the principal street, and doa thriving business in the more se- cluded districts. The police estimate that more than 50 raids will be made, and ex- pect to capture 200 prisoners at least. To-day Rev. Mr. Sheldon will meet his staff and make his assignments. City Ed- itor McKinnie will present to him the story of a girl of 14 who is in a public educa- tional institution here and whose mother, a notorious character, is attempting ta gain possession of her. Mr. McKinnie has small hope of securing a place for this episode in the Rev. Mr. Sheldon’s paper. Another assignment to be proposed by the city editor will be the story of the pro- posed raids. This will confront the author of “In His Steps’ with the problem of whether it ought to print the truth, ignore it or merely moralize upon it. There is fm- tense anxiety in the Capital office over the manner in which Mr. Sheldon may decide that Christ would treat so grave a crisis in the clty. A topic which the city editor ts sanguine of placing at the top of a column in Tues- day's paper is a meeting of the Anti-Cigar- ette League here and another for which he expects to secure a good position is an ex- haustive article on paving for the coming yeer. from talks with members of tha Capital staff the Post-Dispatrh correspondent learned much of the general news policy that will be pursued. Many the ar- ticles which will be used during the week have already heen prepared. There Is one or two columns on the curios in the State Minseum: another presents the statistics of crime, with an argument to show that the chief effort of government should be exer- ecised fur prevention rather than punish- ment; a third of two calumns is on State politics from.,a non-partisan standpoint; a fourth Is on the work of local Sunday- schools, and a fifth on the Y. M. C. A. There will be other articles on taxation, the atiti-cigarette crusade, etc. The Wash- fMeton correspondent wil! tell in three col- umns what Congress has done for the past 1 years and the State Librarian will have an article on the books most read. Mr. Sheldon told members of his staff-to- be that he would permit no smoking in the office and he has brought down a scare of copies “In His Steps’’ and presented them to the employes, giving the foreman the finest. In his sermon yesterday Mr. Sheldon did not refer even by suggesiion to the editorial task which he is about to begin, but made a simple plea fer cheerfulness. He gave as the chief cause of discontent poverty, dis- ease, pessimism and envy, and sald that they might all be overborne if one could learn to fee] that he lived In the veritable presenee of God and was assured of im- moriality, As the newspaper correspondents were re- turring from church they were met by Pusiness Manager Keizer of the Capital. Mr. Keizer expressed regret that he had been unable to hear the sermon, saying that the overwhelming number of subscrip- tions had campelled him to work. It did not seem to strike him as remarkable that one should violate the Sabbath in the in- terest of @ paper to be conducted on the plan of strict Christianity, Three nights last week the minister re- . mained in the Capital office all night fa- millarizing himself with the details of news- pape: making. As to the make-up of the pa- per he has ideas of his own, and these will be carried out. All “scare news" wil! be at a discount, and little ar no news will appear on the first page, which will be devoted to special articles on the se¢ience --—-s- @f government, the need of reforms in city, ate and affairs and kiadred of y¥ persons of prominence will (One “Well, that seems to end all argument with the covyrespondents.

All advertising in any way objectionable according to the minister's views, has been has | refused. Rev. Sheldon, who resides {n the outskirts of the town, has rented a room downtown and says he hardly expects to be at his home 4 single time during the week, He will take his meals at a restaurant near the Capital office. During the week Rev. Sheldon says he will remain in the Capital Office all night until each edition shall have gone to press. There will D® the usual Sun- day marning edition of the Capiral, but It will be printed early Saturday night, so that all the work, even to the circulating by the carriers, may be finished before tire beginning of Sunday. “To the surface o»server it might appear that Charles M. Sheldon sought notoriety. Nothing could be further from his nature or wish. He shrinks from publicity as a woman would.” One appreach any individual in this town and ask him about Sheldon with- out being impressed with the deep venera- tion in which this remarkable man is held. “Mr. Sheldon is a practical idealist,” says Bishop Vincent, ‘‘who is performing a great work in the land.” “Sincere, steadfast and consistent in all he does,”’ says Edward Wilder, auditor of the Santa Fe Railwey, and these expres- sions are multiplied a hundred fold in a hundred ways by men in al classes of so- Clety. Above all things Sheldon tries to avoid offending anyone. This mav sound like extravagant praise, but this is the uni- versal expression. A story is told illustrating Sheldon’s con- tempt for money. A few months ago Major J. K. Pond eame to _see him and make ar- rangements fora course of lectures in England. The subjecte were to be left to Mr. Sheldon’s selection. Mr. Sheldon had a few days before decided that he would make a trip to England, gnd the time chosen by Major Pond could not have been more opportune. Matters were proceeding satiefactorily when suddenly the manager said he would pay Mr, Sheldon $75,000 for the Signing of a contract to deliver these lectures under Pond’s management. Instantly Sheldon de- ciined to further negotiate, and ultimately the manager left Topeka, having failed to accomplish his purpose. Two months later Sheldon went to England and delivered the lectures free. During the last few weeks he has been offered enormous sums to write about his experience as an editor. Al) these invitations he rejects, much as he would reject a temptation of the devil, Apparently Mr. Sheldon seems to b PP s e th easiest Man to influence His Speech is sort and never rises above the ordinary con- versational tone.

LOAN MADE IRREGULARLY. ee REPORT OF THE BANK EXAMIN- ER CONTAINS THE CHARGE. Says the Loan of $6,000,000 Was Made Illegally to Directors of the Company and Suggests Ac- tion by the Courts. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 12.—Secretary of War Elihu Root has been accused of improperly manipulating the affairs of the State Trust Company so that an office boy was able to borrow $2,000,000 on repudiable paper, the money being intended for the use of the directors in the company. Gov, Roosevelt is charged with suppress- ing the State bank examiners’ report reveal- ing this state of affairs and which intimated that a criminal prosecution could lay. Several weeks ago charges against the management of the trust company were filed with Gov. Roosevelt. He ordered an investigation. The examiner found that something like $6,000,000 had been loaned to Willlam C. Whitney, Thomas F. Ryan, F. A. B. Widener, Anthony Brady, the Metro- politan Street Railway and others improp- erly. Secretary Elihu Root, Ryan, Whitney and Widener were directors and could not le- gally borrow money from themselves. Dan- lel H. Shea, an $18 a week boy in Ryan's office, Was made a dummy, and he borrowed $2,000,000 on Ryan-.and Widener’s guarantee, The bank examiner reporting thereon said: ‘The Shea loan was arranged for by Elihu Root, a director and a member of the Ex- ecutive Committee of the Trust Company, and also its counsel. * * Beyond all question this loan was illegal, because ex- cessive, and because, in part, it was made indirectly to directors of the trust come- pany. ®# ° If the individuals merit se- verer treatment, the courts are open, and public officials may .be called upon to take cognizance of illegal acts.’’ The report also shows that the Shea note was illegal in that no consideration. was exe pressed and could have been repudiated. It also shows that half a million dollars was lent to the Metropolitan Traction Company, without collateral, ‘‘the borrower carrying an average cash balance with the company of $1,500,000, which cash balance ‘had nothing whatever to do with the loan in the eye of the law. It also shows that a loan of $435,470.48 to Louis F. Payn, State Superintendent of In- surance, supposedly a poor man, was se- cured by collaterals estimated to be worth only $350,000 and by the guarantee of Will- iam C. Whitney, which guarantee counts for nothing under the law. The New York World editorially reviewing the affair says: “Gov. Roosevelt stands convicted of using the power intrusted to him by the people of New York to shield a guilty personal friend from the consequences of his unlaw- ful acts. “The situation is deplorable. It calls for prompt action—a clean breast of his mis- conduct by the Governor and the exertion of every means within his power to undo the grave wrongs he has committed. ‘‘As for Mr. Root, how can he remain in “"? public life? THE GREEN TREE CUP. Coursing Stake Captured by Glory Quayle. There was some great coursing and a big crowd at Pastime Park on Sunday after- noon. The Green Tree Cup race was won then and captured by Glory Quayle. She is a black hound by Dakota-Miller’s Rabbie. Her sire will be remembered as the winner of the famous Missouri Stake, which was run at the Fair Grounds four or five years ago. Dakota is now in Cali- fornia, as is also Miller’s Rabbie, dam of Glory Quayle, who runs in the name of Morley & Co., and is trained by Arthur Hines, who also handled Militus, another son of Dakota, who ran third to Glory Quayle and Gil Blas. Gil Blas, the runner-up, belongs to Nich- olas-& Avery of South Dakota. Stonehedge, another starter in the stake is fiom their kennel. Ben O'Keefe, the veteran coursing man, and his four dogs, namely Lord Glenkirk, King o' the Hitls, Lady Hortense and Harvest Maid put out in the second round of the stake. Lady Hortense was beaten by Gil Blas after they hada run two un- decided courses. Mr. O’Keefe and _ his friends thought that Lady Hortense had beaten Gil Blas pointless in their second effort, but Judge Brown called it an un- decided course and Mr. O'Keefe took his medicine like a true sportsman, sending his dog back to the slips without a murmur only to see her finally beaten by the run- ner-up in the stake after one of the closest contested courses ever seen on the Pastime oe summary of the stake follows: First round—Black sauty beat Farewell, Monsoon beat Elsie Goebel, Lady Hortense beat Board of Trade, Gil Blas beat \ an Natta.

Dr. John Voisin, late of St. Louis, died Thursday evening, aged 47 years, at his home in St. Clair County, near Lebanon. He was born and reared in St. Clair County, lll.. about four miles north of O’Fallon. He took a literary course at McKendree College at Lebanon, lil., afterward a course of medl- cine at the St. Louis Medical College, then a post graduate course at the Marion-Sims ‘ollege of Medicine. pee graduating from the latter, he lo- cated in St. Louis, and was until last Aug- ust practicing his profession and conducting a drug store at 141 South Broadway when, on account of ill health, he removed to the vicinity of Lebanon. On June 1, 1892, he was united in marrige to Miss Josie Lemen. He leaves two little girls, aged 5 and 7, besides his widow, three sisters, two brothers and other relatives. For Disturbing the Peace. Andrew Woodlock, 66 years old, was fined $20 by Judge Sidener Monday morning on a charge of disturbing the peace. W ood- lock is a carpenter and has a shop at 314 North Nineteenth stret. On Sunday even- ing it was alleged he enticed two girls into his shop. The girls were also arrested, but rakenani aia ——S , ey THE FEAR OF HUMBUG Prevents Many People From Trying a Good Medicine. Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on any rem- edy claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, ‘especially in medicines. This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak diges- tion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of a preparation so reliable and unt- versally use® as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab- lets. Sm We Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines, for the reason that they are not a secret pat- ent medicine, no secret is made of their ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the naturai digestive terments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense plan of digesting the food eaten thor- oughly before it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of their success. Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles be- cause they act entirely on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach. Stuart’s dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That ts all there ts to it. Food not digested or half digested is poison, as it creates gas, acidity, head- aches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite and many other troubles which are oiten called by some other name. They are sold by drugwists ---erywhere - “ae a ferment of excitement. on the Board of Trade to-day, as the price of the coarse ce- real shot up by leaps and bounds ta close proximiiy to the record of recent years, At l2:45 p. m. May was at 38c, a gain for the day of 2 cents. Strength had been expected— but not the startling amount wihch devel- oped the forepart of the session here. For months, excepting the past few days, market, while inclined to firmness, has been dull. In November the price of May was a fraction over 320. Saturday the close was at ds0a3%%e. The opening to-day, May at SHROHte2 cent was %*@% cent higher. The chief influence was the Government report @uiting farm reserves at 773,700,000 bu, or only 32.2 per cent of the crop. At this price the market held for some time. but short- ly before noon shot upward again. The de- mand was reported practically without lim- it—it was wanted for feeding purposes, far export, for the mills and badly wanted by those who had sold short in the ex pecta- tion of being able to buy in later at lower prices. Later the session developed remarkable strength and excited activity. The demand was heavy, practically without limit, and shortly before noon, May, which had been floating quietly around first figures wernt up with a rush to 38@384c—2 cents ‘higher than Saturday’s close. Shorts covered at a heavy loss, while holders bid the price up to a height which breaks the record for this a and is in close proximity to the record of recent years. The close was 1%4@2c over Saturday ‘at 377%4@38c. FIFTEEN DIE IN A FIRE. Result of a Tenement Houses Fire in Newark, N. J. NEWARK, N. J., March 12.—Fifteen per- sons, a majority of whom were children, were burned to death at a tenement house at Morris and Fourteenth avenues about 5 o'clock this morning. Thirteen bodies were recovered from the ruins within three hours after the flames had been extinguished. Four men jumped from the front win- dow. Several were hurt. The flames spread with frightful rapidity and the wind sent the sparks southeast, threatening all the frame tenements in that direction. The place was like a roaring caldron when the firemen reached the place. The ladders were quickly put in position and then be- gan the work of rescue. One after another the women, and then the men were taken down, while other firemen devoted their attention to drown- ing out the flames. This they succeeded in doing !n less than an hour, but during that hour a frightful sacrifice had becn offered. REPRESENTATIVE GROSVENOR. Confined to His Bed by a Serious At- tack of Grip.

SPORTS OF THE DAY. eee WCRAW—ROBIASON, IT WAS A GREAT GAME NOTHING TALKED OF BUT THE THE CYCLING CLUB AND WEST SIGNING OF THOSE TWO. il ENDS HAVE A BATTLE ROYAL. P ee WILL THEY REALLY PLAY HERE? — WHEELMEN VICTORIOUS. They Say They Will Not and Some of the Local Players Are Also in Doubt About It. Nothing was talked of Sunday tin base- balidom but the signing of McGraw, Rob- inson and Keister for the St. Louis Club. It was generally ¢onceded that if those three players were really landed in St. Louis this city would again take her place at the head of the baseball column. Here are a few comments on the s:gning of the players named: Frank Genins: If McGraw, Kelster really come here and McGann the St. Louts take a back seat from none The five named are all great players, besige that every one of them is full of what you call the ‘‘winning quality.” If they are all landed here the St. team should hold its own against the very best of them. Jake Bene: With McGraw, Robinson, Denovan, McGann and Keister added to the present St. Louis team I can't see any other nine in the League race. Bur do you think McGraw will come to St, Louis” he was siuwek on going to New York. louis is not New York. Joe Quinn: With these plavers in line St. Louis should come very near holding the key to the door that leads up to the cham- pionship. Some say McGraw will not come with Donovan team shouid of the others. but ot, Their Winning Only Came After the Louis | You know | bere, but if Robison stands firm I don’t see | how he can get away. Billy Hauk: ly added to the St. win the pennant death. here? Joe Carney: I can't see how they can beat that combination—that is, providing it lands here. But will it land? Tim Flood: If Robison ever Jands the five players he claims in St. Louis he will have a great team, one that should easily hold its own with the best of them. But will he land them? In the baseball busi- ness there’s many a elip twixt the cup and the lip, and then remember the American Association. I believe they thought they had McGraw at one time, but they failed to land him. J. K. Deter: The information that the Roebisons have secured McGraw, Donovan and others, is indeed ood news to St. Louis’ army of “‘fans.’’ These men wil!) un- doubtedly strengthen the St. Louis club at points most in need of stre pppoe pad Did it ever occur to you what a eak team Teheau would enter the race oe 1900 with, if picked from the men now in the South training with ‘shim? Even with McGraw and Donovan added, it is hard to figure St. Louis into the first division. Taking the players that will undoubtedly be in the National League this year, and accepting the general estimate of their value to the club with Which they are con- nected and allround abilities as players, as undoubted:y held by the baseball] fra- ternity, we find the first four atchers will rank in order of their ability™ Robinson, McFarland, Farrell and Pietz. The first pitchers are Hughes, Nichois, Griffiths and Young; first baseman, Tenny, Jennings, Beckley and Doyle; second bage- men Lajole, Dal y, Lowe and Ritchie; third batemen Witiams, Collins, McGraw and Cross; shortstops Davis Dah} en, Coreoran and Long: left ‘fielders Clarke Kelly ,ur- Kett and Delehanty; center fielders Beau- mont, Donovan, Jones and Thomas; right fielders Keeie ‘r, Stahl, Wagner and F liek, Of these thirty -six play ers we find Brook- lyn claims ten, Boston six, Philadelphia and Pittsburg five, St, Louis four, Cincin- nati three, New York two and Chicago one. If I was going to make a guess on the outcome of the race for 1900 the above order would fit the guess exactly, that is: Brook- Boston, Philadeplhia. Pittsburg, St. 3 Cincinnati, New York and Chicago What a team it would be the first names for each position, Robin-on, catcher; Hughes, pitcher; Tenny first base; Lajoie, second base; Williams, eoing bast; Davis, shortstop; Clark, left fel Beau- mont, center fleld and Keeler, one field, Let us hope that Sheehan, Donlin, Dillard, Thomas, Kruger or others of Tebeau's young ones try out as “‘phenoms,’ like unto the cases of Beaumont, Williams, La- jolie and Leach. Anyhow, the “fans’’ Tebeau and his braves Louis team it will either or scare the leaders to But do you think they will all come are ready to greet and not until the Beason ends, even if it does land the afore- | said tribe among the “also rans.” There were many, too, themselves as very well pleased with the team without the addition of McGraw, Rob- inson and Keister. These cited McGraw’s belligerent nature and prophesied that he, Tebeau, O'Connor and! many other of the present St. Louis players would never get, along together. On the other hand, thought Donovan and MeGann nicely here and that they were al] that were needed to make the aggregation a first-class one in every respect. In fact, SheGean. in the eyes of many, appears to be wanted here less than any man in the business. He can only play third base. and if he were installed there, what would be- come of Lave Cross, the most popular, ae well as one of the strongest and most com- petent players on the team? who expressed would do If McGraw really comes and is really eves here, 8t. Louis will be able to put his team in the field and it looks very much like a world-beater: Catcher, Robinson; pitcher, base, McGann; second base, McGraw; shortstop, Wallace: left field, Burkett; center, Donovan; right, Heidrick. But, say, McGraw does not come. The team would be just as strong with Cross at third and some equally good man, say Quinn, at second. Young; first Croes; third, an morning’s dispatches from the East Shae ae McGraw and Robinson positively refuse to play here. Tips From the Turf.

Tra to be known to baseball patrons as “‘rag chewing,”’ were conspicuous by their entire absence, It is hard work writing about a game in which both sides played as they did Sun- day. Nothing but praise can be wvriiten of either team, The Cycling Club won the game, but at the close there were cheers for the van- guished as well as for the other fellows. It was a battle in which each member of each team did himself proud and where the side that was beaten was by no means disgraced. The fine individual work of all the play- ers was applauded and nearly every man ngaged in the contest did himself proud. Govier and Jarrett of the Cycling Club appeared to never tire, and their work was fast from start to finish. They were con- tinuaily cheered for their magnificent rus pretty footwork, Johnny Comerford was one of the bright particular stars of the Cycling Club and he and Tommy Kane of the West Ends vied with each other in capturing the ‘honors in the forwayd line. Their phenomenal playing was loudly ap- plauded. Young Kane ball rolling by playing rings around three of the Wheel- men with the ball for a period of two minutes, during the first hai’. ‘Twas the prettiest piece of work ever seen on a football fleld. In the last half he dribi>led the ball away from Jarrett and Govier. The play brought the ‘tators to their feet. Comerford played the same Kind of ball for the Wheelmen, and, like Kane. his clever work called forth tremendous ap- plause, The half backs of both sides played great ball, “‘King’’ Finnegan, Tighe and Govier we re » stars, started the spe th: Another feature of the game was the work | 'ment that his team will defeat the Detroits who in West ki Owl Keepel is, without dort rbt, best ever seen purt of the country.

It might be good policy for Mr. Kinsella and Mr, Kavanaugh to put their team in training for the next game with the Wheel- men—that is, if they want to win. It has been stated that the wearers of the red an‘1 blue never trained a lick during the season.

Below are extracts from 14 of the sermons: Rev. W. J. McKittrick, First Prepbyte- Bennie Govier made some wonderful shots. The boy from Pullman is a wonder. Mr. Francis Kavanaugh, the doughty Ilt- tle captain of the West End Association Footba:l Club, the little warrior who looks like Tom Sharkey, is out with the state- rian: The purpose of the movement is to shut up the winerooms—not to bring the millenium—not to solve the vast, impera- | dive, erying and clamoring temperance | problem—not to do a multitude of | other good things, but to do one good thing—to | shut up the winerooms. Rev. Alvin P. Howells, Fourth Baptist: The winerooms are the seminaries vice. The proprietors believe in co-é@duca- | tion. Graduation takes place within twelve hours. Tuition sometimes comes high, but the devil offerg to pay the students well In the wages of perdition. Rev. M. G. Gorin, Cook Avenue Pieshy- terian: The liquor traffic, like the | Upas ‘tree, is poisoning the whole moral atmos- phere, and jt is questionable in my| mind whether the effort to cut off some of its most obnoxious fruit, permitting the tree to remain, will result in any permanent when they come here the latter part ol this month. “I don’t see where they have us beaten,”’ said the man who, next to Mike Corcoran, has charged and tossed more pigskin kickers than any other player in this land. ‘‘They certainly have not got, us beaten in the halfbacks. ‘Rickey’ plays as good a back as any of 'em, and we have a goalkeeper who plays the game just like it ought to be played. We have a great | forward line. I consider Tommy Kane the cleverest boy_in the land. Mr. Corcoran and Connie Reed play nice, gent.emanly football at all stages of the game. Of course. they are liable to get angry and play 4a'| bit rough at times. Reed alone is enough! to break up the best forward line on earth. As to McSweeney, why, he’s the ‘Little of the game. Every move he makes counts and, as for myself, I am the only weak spot on the team. I think we'll beat ‘em. We have 10 good men—count ’em.”’ gape oy H. Duty, Grace Presbyte- ee eee + ~ - - Our city papers have stirred us up on the question of the impure water sup- ply, but here is a supply which threatens manifold more disease to the physical man, besides the awful moral stream which would carry all our boys and girls away in ifs mad current. Rev. Henry Gardner, Lee Avenue Presby- terian: One brave, honest man clothed with power could close all the places in a short time. He could cloge as many as he would visit. O, for a man in power in St. Louis who would not wink at crime, and when he saw officers under his control who were not doin their duty, woula command them to Ne it in tones of authority. Rev. Cornelius H. Patton, First Congre- gational: This movement attacks an evil against which all good people of all creeds can combine. Its head is a Catholic priest, Father Coffey. All honor to him! Single- handed, he began this fight in his own arigh, whica he saw given over ' Newberry law? of | Should be furnished o vicious resorts. 3 good people now stand behind him and speak out loud | enough to be heard in the lowest depths of the deepest dives in St. Louis. We are most fortunate in having the press with us to so large an extent in this crusade. Rev. J. K. Brennan, St. Mark’s Episco- pal: Let the mother love of the best wom- en speak out and save these sacrifices on the altar of a city’s corruption and mis- government. Ww M.

Day, Church of the Messtah: Not until the people rise out of the issues that divide them politicaily, and make the good of their city a common aim, will there be any efficient control of its affairs. De- liverance of public business and welfare froan party division ts the need of the hour. The supreme thing should be made supreme and evil will hide Hts head. Rev. H.

DECISION IN MOLAN. WILL CASE. INQUEST ON THE SUICIDE. United States Court of Appeals De- clares the Supremacy of the State in All Such Instances. Aged Mother Appears to Have Changed Her Place of Residence and Has Not Been Located. The United States Court of Appeals Mon- day decided that probate matters cannot be transferred to the Unitaed States Courts. It establishes the supremacy of the Siate in such caases. The case eomes from the Western Div!- sion of the Eastern District of Arkansas. The opinion was written by Judge Rogers. Judge Caldwell concurring. Judge Sanborn dissented and submitted a separate opinion. Jaseph Molan died at Hot Springs, Ark.. Dec. 9, 186. On Dee. & following Adeie Wahl presented a paper purporting to be the last will and testament of Joseph Mo- - ; 3Imma Callaway, mother of Frank B. Callaway, the murder-suicide, cannot be found by the police. At least, so the of- ficers report to Coroner Lioyd. They Bay they have been unable to see her at 1209 Hebert street, where she has been staying with friends, and that they cannot learn where she has gone. In consequence of Mrs. Caloway's ab- sence, the Coroner's inquest into the déath of Callaway has been continued, Only ‘one witness, Frank Meyn, a jafl guard, was ex- amined Monday morning. Meyn’s testi- mony was unimportant, tending solely to show the difficulty-there would have been in passing poison to Callaway in the city jail without detection of the’ act. He was excused after a few minutes’ questioning, and Coroner Lloyd declared the héating concluded for the day. In the meantime the police will make further search for Mrs. Callaway and if possible have her at the Coroner's office Tuesday morning. If found and brought before the Coroner she will be asked out- right if'she gave her son, when she’ called on him last Thursday afternoon, poison in vany form. Jack Kiely, whose highly plausible story of how Callaway secured or rather manu- fauctured the poison with which he took “hts life, was told exclusively in the Post- Dispatch of Sunday, has also been sent $n7 and will repeat his story to Dr. Lioyd tuesday morning. _ The stomach of the dead man has been sent to the city chemist who will analyze it for substantiation of Kiely’s claims that ‘Cailaway obtained poison by soaking matches in a mug filled with water. Coroner Lioyd was much e«urprised at Kiely’s story and says it it is both possible and probable that Callaway Gid kill himself ith phosphorous obtained just. as Kiely eclares, STREET RAILWAY MEN’S UNION. It Has Been Admitted to Central Trades and Labor Union. The strect railway employes’ umon—Local No. 130, Amalgamated Association of Street Rafiway Employes of the United States— was admitted to the Central Trades and Labor Union at 8S, niay’s mecting of the lutier organizations The railway employe s’ delegates to the Centra! Traces and Labor Union are Messrs, ‘Mack Missik, Clarence Richeson, John Connors, J. Kennedy, Charlies Kessler, A. EK. B. Miller,, P. Connor, A. Morrison, Robert Fine and Sherman Patterson, The Grievance Committee of the street car union held a meeting at Walhalla Hall Monday morning at which the record o2 the tnion was compiled. As stated in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, Chairman Missik nala the union would |not present the cases of the men who were discharged by the ‘rarasit company during«thé organization Gf the union. The (discharged men. were “nstructed to apply as individuals for re- ineiatement. These men bave been paid Ly the union since thelr discharge. The iitrried men received $7 per week. The Unmarried men were paid % per week. Mrs. bate. The clerk admitted it, and Adele Wahl filed a petition stating that no ex- ecutor or administrator had been appointed and prayed for such appointments. They were made in vacation and afterwards con- firmed by the court in sessions. On Dec. 28, following the death of Joseph Molan, Mary E. Frantz, a résfdent of Ohio. filed a petition in the Circuit Court of Gar- land County, stating that she Was a sister of the deceased and his only heir. She also charged that the will filed by Miss Wahl had been executed by Molan while he was under the undue influence of that woman. She asked that it be set aside. While these proceedings were pending in the Circuit Court a petition charging fraud and asking that the Molan estate go to Mrs. Frantz was admitted in the United States Court. This stopped the State pro- ceedings and the fight was made there. A jury found undue {[nfluence and the case was appealed on the ground that the Fed- eral Courts had no jurisdiction over pro- bate matters. Judge Rogers stated at the outset of a lengthy opinion that the single question _be- fore the court was whether the proceeding was a civil suit at common law or in equity He quotes rulings and opinions by Chief Justices and the Supreme Court and con- cludes by saying: within the meaning of the first and second sections of the Judiciary Act of 1888, the proceeding for the probate of a will is not a ‘suit of a eivil nature at common law or in eguity,’ and therefore is not removable either from the Probate Court or from the Circuit Court to the Federal Court, The meaning is that the ruling of the State courts fs supreme. Judge Sanborn in dissenting took the posi- tion that frand was charged, and “‘when Arkansas éXténded appellate right to bring suit in ite court, of genera] jurisdiction, to try the validity of this will and to void it and its probate on account of fraud, undue influenve or illegality, the jurisdic- tion of the Federal Court in ‘that State was thereby extended over that suit be- tween citizens of different States.’’ Other cases decided were: Noyes, Norman & Co., plaintiffs in error, vs. J.

For a space of #0x100 feet the floor has been highiy polished, its brilliant surface re- flecting the handsome decorations and prism lights charmingly. Soft, velvety rugs are spread about and long rows of show cases are elaborately decorated with arches of smilax and garlands of roses.

The models are all handsome young women, wha show off to capital ad- vantage the beautiful wares Nugent Bros. have laid in for the benefit of their cus- tomers. The millinery department, as us- ual, displays the finest goods obtainable in the market and fashioned imto exquisite patterns at popular prices. Adjoining this is the suit department, in which the new importations of robes are shown. There are some “loves of gowns, as the ladies call them, to be seen while walking past the models and showcase. The lace robe is the thing par excellence for the well-dressed woman. Dozens of different patterns are displayed. One is a robe of chantilly, with body and sleeves to match. The skirt, flaring at the bottom, is garnished with Juby ruffles of liberty silk in festoon patterns. Silk esprit nets in black cloth applique and cotton lace work are shown. A handsome ball robe is of pale heliotrope silk, trimmed with duchesse lace. Silk petticoats, so dear to the woman's heart, are displayed in showeases expre ssly bullt for the purpose. These cases are as much of a novelty as the living-model | scheme.

Reynolds, Stone Clay, Marion, i Be! Voss-Tangevand Railway of Norway, is at AROUSED THE GUESTS FIRE IN PARLE’S SALOON WAK- ENED ST. JAMES’ SLEEPERS. THE RATS GNAWED MATCHES. An Early Blaze Which Incidentally Occasioned Excitement, but Small Real Damage. The omnivorous Comanche rats which live on Walnut street between Broadway and Sixth started to hold a ghost dance in “Chief Pete’’ Parle’s saloon on the cor- ner of Olympic Theater alley some time Monday morning, and their pow-pow ai- most sent the adjacent buildings skyward in smoke and sparks. There is no doubting that the rats did it. They evidently have been in the habit of visiting the chief’s saloon and feasting upon his matches. Their favorite place for the match-growing contest and Medicine Hut festivities was in the extreme, southeast corner of the bar proper, in a crevice, which nothing but a rat would ever think of penetrating. There wasn’t a rat in the place when Chief Pete closed up and left his place, shortly after midnight. As soon as he was gone they began their merry- making. Gnawing the matches ignited them, and started a slow blaze. The top of the counter, from almost constant wip- ing and scrubbing, was damp through and through, and it was after 5 o’clock before the flames took hold in earnest. By this time the baker-man who delivers bread to the St. James Hotel was on the ground and he saw the light from the al- ley entrance. He called the policeman, and while the policeman sent in an alarm the baker-man took the news into the St. James Hotel. The clerk on watch was not risking anything, so he rang up every guest in the house. It didn’t take long for the Fire Depart- ment and salvage corps to respond. hey kicked in the plate glass door leading from the alley and with a couple of squirts from those big tin tanks of seltzer which fire- men carry on their backs, extinguished the blaze in a twinkling. A burnt hole as large as a man’s hand underneath the bar and a space probably a yard long on the in- side edge of the bar, which was scorched, constituted the only damage. The valuable collection of Indian relics collected by Mr. Parle during a former residence as Government scout in Mon- tana and Nevada, which he kept in a locker behind the bar, were not injured. The St. James Hotel guests, who were aroused, were too ges Ay aoe | frightened by the ringing of the bells and the general | clatter of the trucks and engines to go back to bed. SEEING ST.

She declared that no matter how strong were the home influences, so long as Hquor was sold openly, it would be stronger. ‘There is not a child,”’ she said, ‘““who does not feel its influence some way. As soon as a bar is established in a neighborhood, the family begins to disintegrate.”’ Mrs. Shaw said she believed the strong n&a- tion would be the temperance one, and that the United States would be that nation in days to come.

The question at issue was the right of. the Democratic City Committee to oust two members, Douglas Crothers of the Twenty-second Ward and James Haney of the Fourteenth Ward. This was done sev- eral weeks ago by the Hawes-Butler com- bination. The places of the men ousted were filled by the election of French R. Nelson and Jerry Callahan. The defeated Brady faction took the case to the State Committee at its meeting at Kansas City last Tuesday, and after a heat- ed and acrimonious debate, prevailed upon the State Committee to recognize the ex- isience of the quarrel by authorizing a sub-committee to investlkate and act. The sub-committee, which met at the Laclede Hotel at 10 o’clock Monday morn- ing, is composed of N. J. Winters of Milan, L. iS. Hickman of Warrensburg, J. M. Sal- lee of Bethany, M. T. Davis of Aurora and E. J. Bean of Hillsboro. The committee took extraordinary pre- cautions to keep its proceedings secret. It was the understanding prior to the meet- ing that the hearing of arguments and tes- timony would be public, and one member of the committee, Mr. Davis, expressed himself in favor of this plan. But he changed his mind when he got into the committee room, for he made the motion for the exclusion of all except the members of the committee and the representatives of the warring factions. At the rate of progress made Monday Morning the committee will be several days reaching a conclusion. They spent the en- tire morning listening to the arguments of lawyers on the question of the authority of the State Committee to interfere with the St. Louis committee. This question was raised by the Hawes- Butler people and -wWas a startler to tne committeeme®. They had come to St. Louis with no idea than that the State Commit- tee -had ample power to settle a local quarrel. They thought that question was settled. Thev found it was not, for the first thing the Hawes-Butler people did was to file with the committee a written demurrer, in which they denied the power of the State committee to act in this case, and supported the contention with citations of authorities. Harry B. Hawes and Ben L. Clark ap- peared on behalf of the Hawes-Butler ma- jority of the City Committee and Senator John W. Drabelle and Tom Barrett ap- peared for the Brady minority and the committeemen who had been ousted. When the demurrer of the Hawes-Butler people was filed all parties fell into a gen- eral discussion of it. The committee lis- tened with a growing sense of bewilder- ment. Before the discussion was conclud- ed they were not prepared to say positively whether the State committee had any pow- er whatsoever in this case or any other. The pinning had been knocked out from under all their accepted ideas of the all- powerfulness of the State committee. They took a recess until 2 o'clock to col- lect their thoughts and ascertain ‘‘where they were at.”’ A large number of Democrats. of both factions were on hand to watch the pro- ceedings. They had to be contented with looking at the cold side of a door. The occasion brought out even James L. Car- lisle. He hastened to explain that he had no interest in the fight, but was there be- cause he had been summoned as a witness to tell the committee what had Seen the custom of the city committee when he was its chairman in the matter of ousting members. Mr. Carlisle said he never knew of a case where the committee ousted a member and he thought it a very dan- gerous precedent. Among the more prominent of those in attendance were James J. Butler, Police Commissioner William FE. Atmore, John Butler, William Flynn, W. P. Thompson, Charles J. Lemp, William Hughes, Doug- las Crothers, James Haney, Nick Griff‘n, Otis P. Mallard, ex-Justice Pat Kane and a large number of citizens from the wards involved, who will be called upon later to tell the committee whether the men ousted were satisfactory as representatives on the city committee. THEY FOUHT OVER “SAPPHO.” Harry Mestayer and Author Frazer Came to Blows in the Lobby of the Hopkins’ Imperial. John D. Frazer, the lightning playwright, who has adapted ‘Sappho’”’ for the Imperial Theater production, and Harry Mestayer, husband of Victory Bateman, the actress who finds “Sappho”’ too revolting for her to appear in the title role, came into collision in the lobby of the Imperial Theater Mon- day afternoon. In the mix-up and excitement of debate the playwright handed Mr. Mestayer ‘‘one” in the jaw. Before the two men could fight further, they were sepayated. Mestayer then went to the Four Courts for a police summons, charging a breach of the peace. The affair will be heard in Judge Sidener’s court Tues- day morning., The cause of the ruction was Mestayers expressed opinion of “Sappho’’ as a play. In the Sunday Post-Dispatch he declared the play ‘‘nasty and ungrammatical,’ and in ater ways approved his wife's action in refusing to appear in it. When Frazier met Mestayer he took him to task for his words. Mestayer admitted having spoken as quoted and then the blow was struck. POSTMASTER BAUMHOFF BACK. He Thinks St. Louis Will Get Pneu- matic Tube Service. Postmaster Baumhoff returned from Washington Monday morning all smiles over the prospect of soon having his post- office .connected with Union Station by pneumatic tubes, of having a dozen more clerks in scantily supplied departments, of securing 30 new letter carriers and lots of other good things he is not telling about just now. The Postmaster made a “hit’’ with the Postoffice Department and it is nearly ready to give him anything he asks for to improve the service in St. Louis, and ac- cording to Mr. Baumhoff, himself, he was not a bit backward about asking, hence many improvements will come with the summer. Mr. Baumhoff will tell you that he ap- peared before the Postoffice Committee and that he thinks the committee will report the appropriation for pneumatic tube services in the principal cities favorably, and that from talks he had with Congressmen and Senators, he is of the opinion that the bill will pass. Dedication of Good Shepherd.—There was a large attendance at the dedication of the new oy Church of the Good Shepherd at 2838 lena on Sunday morning. Right Rev. D. S. Tuttle preached the ser- mon, assisted in the exercises by Rev. B. F. Newton, pastor of the parish; Rev. Dr. a Ireraham, of Grace Episcopal ‘hurch, and Rev. Dr. G. D. B. Miller, of t. Augustine’s Church at Benton, and also the warden, W. H. l, who read he instruments of donation. NEVER SICK BUT ONCE THEN DEATH SUDDENLY CLAIM- ED JOSEPH COOK. A WELL-KNOWN MERCHANT. Enjoyed Seventy-Six Years of Un- broken Health and Then Passed Away Quickly. S Joseph Cook of 1023 Grattan street died early Sunday morning, after an illnese that lasted barely 24 hours. It was the: first sickness he had ever known in his long life of 76 years. Until the quickly fatal trouble that caused his death developed itself, he had never felt even the minor pains of a deranged system. His family think that, when the long and unbroken reign of health in his life is con- sidered, his sudden death is remarkable. His physicians say the end was caused by a complication of kidney troubles, which had been working in Mr. Cook’s system for many years, but did not cause the patient any trouble until a few hours before they completed their work. Mr. Cook retired Friday night in appar- LO ey mar if .» = ~ “A Uf ESN i JOSEPH COOK, ently as good health as he had been ac- customed to enjoy. But in the early hours of Saturday morning he awoke his wife and complained that he felt sluggish and weak. A doctor was summoned, but his ministra- tions did not prevent the patient from rap- idly growing worse. In a few hours Mr. Cook was unconscious. The attending physician then announced to the family he was suffering from acute kidney trouble and that there was no hope of a recovery. The patient continued to grow weaker until 1 o'clock Sunday -morning, when the end came peacefully. The funeral services will be held Tues- day afternoon at 1:30 o’clock from the fam- ily residence. They will be under the direction of Rabbi Spitz, pastor of the B'nai “| Congregation, of which Mr. Cook was a member. The body will be interred with the rites of the Masonic Order, to which the dead man belonged for nearly 50 years, Mr. Cook was one_of the pioneer mer- chants of Alton, Ill. Later he engaged in the same business at Whitehall, Ill. He is well known in both places, although he cloged out his store and retired from active business 15 years ago. Although he had large business interests_in those towns, he continued to reside in St. Louls, making visits to his stores as frequently as he deemed necessary. He was a continuous resident of this city for 56 years. e was married 48 years ago and his wife is still living. They were looking for- ward with great pleasure to the celebration of their golden wedding two years hence. Six children were born of their unton and all are living. Four—two unmarried daugh- ters and two married sons—live in St. Louis. A married daughter lives in Whitehall] and will attend the funeral. The other gon, Lieut. Simon Cook, will not be present. He is navigating officer of the gunboat Prince- ton, that is now in service in the waters of the Philippines. News of his father’s death was cabled to him Sunday. HAD FALLEN INTO A CELLAR Phil. Laherty, Carpenter, Died at the City Hospital From Injuries Which Had Been a Mystery. Phil Laherty, a carpenter whose home was at 1213 O’Fallon street, died in the City Hospital Sunday from pneumonia that fol- lowed a fractured skull. Laherty was taken to the City Hospital three weeks ago unconscious. He had Soon found near his home on O'Fallon street. When he became rational he remembered nothing of his injury, when or how it came. It was not until last Saturday afternoon a few hours before his death, the mystery was cleared away. Mrs. Laherty has been a devoted and con- stant watcher at the bedside of her hus- band. Saturday afternoon the injured man was eo much brighter that the physicians ermitted his children to see him. While his little son was talking to him he asked his father how he was hurt. “Why, I fell into the cellar,” he answered. This was the first Intimation of how the wound had been received. His wife questioned him closely and learned that he had been_working on a building on the corner of Eighth and Lu- cag avenue and that while ameee the beams and joists of the third floor he fell through the cellar. He was not missed by hie fe)l- low workmen until quitting time and the physicians marvel how he could have, un- assisted, climbed out of the excavation and miade his way so near his home, The information gleaned by Mrs. Laherty was reported to the City Hospital authori- ties and is accepted by them as the cause of the injuries. Three Sunday Fires.—Three small fires added to the heat of the sun Sunday. One was the house of Lr. H. G. Cook, 364 North. Boyle avenue, which was damaged about $300 worth in the evening; another was the store of F. Kalilifa, 4303 North Twentieth, damaged $500 In the afternoon, and the third was the home of Martin Cl- zek, 5904 Old Manchester road, burned in the morning. The loss on this house was $600 and the contents $300. }} country HEW COUNTRY PLAY “THE VILLAGE POSTMASTER” OPENS AT THE CENTURY. COLUMBIA’S BIG VAUDEVILLE. “Carmen” Plays to Standing Room at Hopkins and “Hello Bill” Does the Same at the Grand—Crane at Olympic To-Night. The village dressmaker, the village law- yer and all the other villagers were present at the Century last evening along with “‘The Village Postmaster,” which is the name given to the piay presented by Archie Boyd and his good-sized company. With all due difference to the author who named it, there seems to be no real reason why it shouldn't have been named after any of the char- acters better than after the postmaster. The play is new only in name. The same scenes and incidents have been put inte sim- ilar plays for the last two decades and the same general plan in constructing the story has been followed by authors ever since Mary Jane Holmes began writing novels, and that’s so long ago that a whole lot of people can’t remember when it was. Yet in spite of it all, the good-sizer audi- ence appeared to be well entertained, and all the old friends were received with marks of evident satisfaction and approval. “The Village Postmaster’ is divided into four acts: The general training, which is interrupted by a real heavy shower; the minister’s donation party in which the regu- lation bad boy is conspicuous, first through bringing in a good-sized pig in his arms and second through eating up all the mince pie; threshing day on the postmaster’s farm, when the lawyer villain tries to throw the hero into the threshing machine aud the hero in turn saves the heroine, who does the toboggan act from the grain stack al- most into the cylinders of the separator and the wedding in the church where the heroine is just about to wed the villain when the dressmaker gives him away, and the hero accomodatingly takes his place so as not to disappoint the guests, . You've seen the same thing many times and yet there is enough novelty in the et A to give it a reasonable amount of in- terest. Archie Boyd, a St. Louts actor, is the postmaster, and does not overplay the politician and big man. Leslie Matthews looked the country lawyer of the days of Franklin Pierce was sufficient- ly engnes to make his villainy dis- tasteful to the audience. Lisle Leigh, the wronged village dressmaker, played the part well. It is a disagreeable one at best and she kept it well within the bounds. Miss Edith Barker, as the postmaster’s daughter, didn’t have much to do but look pretty, and she succeeded in doing it. Hen- ry L. Keane as the hero, a minister’s son in love with the daughter, made al] that was possible out of Lag + ogigy. | the fact that there is a religious tone to the-play, which didn’t comport very well with a Sunday night performance, the play is wholesome and pleasing. Standing room was at a premium at both performances at Hopkins’ Theater yester- day and in the evening some hundred or more were unable to gain admission. ‘‘Car- men” is the attraction for the week, and yesterday's crowds demonstrated the fact that it is one of the plays that will, ap- se tear never grow old. “Miss Victory ateman was the Carmen, and was ac- ceptable in the part, albeit the majority of theater-goers are not accustomed to think of that most impetuous young woman as a blonde. Mr. Freeman as Don Jose could hardly be improved upon. His acting of the part, when compared with other roles he has assumed during the past few weeks, stamps him as an actor of unusual ver- satility. The vaudeville programme is of excep- tional merit, comprising Ben Mowatt and Son, club swingers, the musical Loveland children and Parvita; ‘Hello, Bill,”” the attraction at the Grand this week, is the fareiest kind of farce imaginable. It is built about the ancient and honorable theme of mistaken identity, which ib worked to the limit, William and Willis Wilson, twin brothers, who look so much alike that the only difference be- tween them is in disposition, stop at the same hotel Without each knowing of the other’s presence. William is a race track sport and Willis {is a spiritualist. Both have wives, and the fun comes of William being mistaken for Wilson and vice versa. There is another case of mistaken identi- ty involving two lovers and an old maid, and it adds to the confusion of every- body in the play and helps the comedy along. Frederick L. Power has the dual role of the twin brothers and shows admirable versatility in handling it. George Ober as Theophilus Yates, & gay doctor, divides honors with Mr. Power. Ada Deaves as the old maid does some satisfactor work, and Madeline Lack, winsome an retty; Helen Brackett, Ada Barnard and uise moire make favorable impressions. ‘“‘Hello, Bill,’’ ie one part plot and the other two parts specialties. e latter are efficient. Manager ‘Arthur Geserich of the Grand will have his benefit to-night, and the prospect is for a large house. The opular manager's friends are doing liberally with him. There has been no advance in prices for the occasion. It has been reported that Mr. Geserich would recite “The Ab- sent ‘Mined Beggar,’’ but he pleads not guilty of any such intentions. James O. Barrows and his company,com- posed of Brandon Mitchell, John Lancaster and Florence Wilberham, head the Dill at the Columbia this week in “Tactics,” a ge half-hour comedy by Thomas Frost. t tells the etory of two veterang of the Civil War—Coh ‘Stefford from the South and Gen. Drummond from the North— who were wounded by each other at Get- tysburg. Thay treasure up a mutual ha- tred which finds Le gg ae for expression years afterward, when Col. Stafford be- comes a guest in the home of Gen. um- mond without knowing that the latter is his old enemy. They recogmize and renew the quarrel of their soldier days. They have a very pretty ecene, in which the illustrate the battle of Gettysburg wit etatuary, cuspidors, coai scuttles and divers other things. Col. Stafford has a daughter and Gen. Drummond a son, and, of course, thay love. They play the hatred their fathers bear towards each other to further their plans. The Nawns, long established favorites with St. Louigans, are back with a new sketch, “An Unwelcome Guest.”’ It ie full of funny situations and, of course, these clever people make the most of them. Tom Nawn still presents the roller skating scene that was a feature of “One Touch of Na- ture,’” which he used so long. Dorothy Dréw appears in several catchy songs and gives a pretty exhibition of the cakewalk along artistic lines. It is said that during a recent engagement in San Francisco she kicked so high she injured her nose. Her experience hag not caused her to ag. against a recurrence of the aceident. Frank Bush .-as a new line of jokes and impersonations. The Four Earl Sisters have a,novel trapeze act, which they ex- ecute with great skill. They are among the most graceful of aerial performers. The Six Da Comas do some olever tumbling m full dress. The family ee women aid three men. Joseph Adelman, the xylophone virtuoso, has several new pieces, which he renders with surprising skill. Among them are some grand opera se ions. Other good things at the Columbia are: Bob Branigan, talking comedian; Elia Mor- ris, ventriloquist; Roasley and Rostelle in “A Widow's ourtship,”” a laughable sketch; John Starr, juggler; Larry and Annie Connors, c lane, and the kino- me. The week's offering over at Havlin’s is the Brothers Byrne in their perennial “Hight Bells,”” which comes in its usual] overhauled shape with several commeéndable specialties interlarded with the acrobatic and panto- mimic hodge-podge which consumes the —z part of the two hours and a haif through whith the first riot of boisterdlus fun carries itself. The Brothers Byrne, who an- nounce themselves in the most a peers English sort of a way, are responsible for a performance that is decidedly British in its tendencies—in respect to the pantomimic and acrobatic elements of “Eight Bellis.” It is meee t i ’ : a a scientific discovery is made that a fo ae es mg: Progression Is the watchword of men and women who are alive and up-to-date. Old-fogyism and stagnation are mental death. Nations, cities and individuals that progress are nat afraid to get out of the beaten path. The aggressive, earnest, intelligent man or woman is not bound by codes or dog- mas. They think for theméelves, and hu- manity benefits thereby. As a class, the medical profession is clannish. The old school smacks of decay. Bleeding and blistering died hard, but died nevertheless, while homcopathy continues to progress. The great Pasteur was not a physician, yet he blazed a pathway which thousands now gladly follow. A few bright, active, pro- gressive-physicians, who will not be bound by precedent, and who have the couragé of their convictions, are doing a great work for the profession as a whole. They believe that no manor school has absorbed all the medical knowledge obtainable, ey tg olu- tionizes a pet theary for the treatment of disease are willing to give it a fair trial and abide by the results if favorable. Such a physician is Dr. L. M. Lander of Chi- cago. Read and weigh the honest words of this noted specialist: |. , “Several times during the past few years I have observed the effects of Warner's Safe Cure in cases of Kidney Trouble.

There are some new features that are me- chanicaliy good—notably, tne ship, in the second act. The bicycle riding of the Mar- telles and the balancing and acrobatic feats af the Sisters Conison and the Byrne troupe of acrobats were well received. Wiliam H. Crane will present his new play, ‘A Rich Man’s Son,’’ this evening at the Olympic. The play is in three acts has all of its scenes iaid in New York, the first showing a gaudily furnished home of a rich old man, tne second the living rooms of a “‘reduced”’ family, in a squalid portion of the town, and the third the studio of an architect. The piece is said to fit Mr. Crane admirably. This week promises to be more than usually interesti at Music Hall] in. the presentation of the long deferred ‘'Car- men.’’ To the social circles of St. Louis interest will center in the appearance Wednesday evening of Miss Anne F.. Wood- ward, daughter of Charles B. Woodward, in the role of Michaela. The title role in ‘“Carmen” this week will be taken by Mme, Selma-Kronold and Miss Grace Golden, the former appearing this-evening. Miro Dela- motta, who has been away some weeks, also returns to the cast. Following ‘“‘Car- men” will come ‘“‘Rigoletto,’’ with Miss Lil- lian Berri in the cast. Miaco’s City Club Company is making St, Louis its second visit of the season and is at home’ for the week to its friends at the Standard Theater. The bill for the present visitation is made up of a curtain- raiser, “A Yankee Millionairess,” a long string of specialty acts, conspicuous among which is tne singing of Adelina Roattino, and a burlesque, “The Village Postmis- tress.’’ Besides the usual changes, whfeh would logically follow upon a return enr- gagement, there have been introduced a series of living pictures and a moving pic- ture machine which rejoices in its sugges- tive name, the “‘Tobascascope."”" The fea- ture pictures are of the McCoy-Maher fight. An audience numbering nearly 1000 music enthusiasts resisted.the temptation to re- main outdoors during Sunday afternoo and attended the eighteenth concert 0 Weil’s Band at the Olympic Theater. Band- master Weil and his men must have ap- preciated this spirit of good will, for they played with snap and vigor every number on the programme. The opera successes of the past week—Herbert’s “Cyrano de Ber- erac,” ‘“Jakobowski,” ‘‘Erminie” and Terdi’s‘“I] Trovatore,” brought back pleas- ant recollections. Herr Tory Horty of the Castle Square Opera Company made many friends by his rendition of the a as | of the Holy Grail,’”’ from “Lohengrin,’ is full tenor voice and perfect enunciation bring- ing out the beautiful melodies of this fa- mous song.
