As stated in the Post-Dispatch Friday, the Republican City Committee met at the Merchants’ League Club late in the after- noon and issued a call for primaries to be heid on March 30. The plans of the Ziegenhein faction of the committee were matured in caucauses heid Wednesday and Thursday, and their programme went through without a hitch. As predicted in the Post-Dispatch, the committee, in addition to calling for the eiection of delegates to the two State con- ventions, sprung the scheme of asking fot | the election of a new city committee by the ward delegations elected at the primary. — nea rhe object of this move was very plainly - -- -- | to give the Ziegenheinites control of the new committee. ‘This they can secure at children died un- this time, while it is doubtful If they couid to, d4actcll | secure it a year hence. motn- The call i6sued by the committee pro- 1 ieeS | vides for the election of 197 delegates to i the State nominating convention, to be rs. | held at Kansas City, May 16, and 101 dele- le ' gates to the State judicial convention to and be held at Jefferson City, Sept. 11. The «t | call of the State committee for these con- ventions makes it unnecessary to hold a city convention, as each ward is to elect its delegates to the State conventions di- rect. Immediately after the close of the meet- ing Chairman Kalbfell and Secretary Hahn filed the notification of the primary with Secretary Hobnitzelle of the Election Board. As will be observed, the filing of the notification Friday afternoon leaves exactly the 14 days required by law. Secretary Hobnitzelle doubts the ability of the board to prepare for the prime@ry in so short a time, because the Jack of money Mrs. E. C.

GE LEFT BRIDE DURING THEIR HONEYMOON. She Is Worth Millions, of Which He Does Not Want a Dollar, and Af- ter Fifteen Years She Goes to Court. Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., March 17.—Behind the remarkable story of the separation of the penniless Rev. John Addison Crockett and his millionaire wife is a story of too much mother-in-law. For 15 years the strange story has remained a mystery. Now Dr. Crockett has spoken and has laid bare the circumstances which have wrecked two lives. At least that is what he claims to have done, but there are some who think he has not and will not. The first chapter of the mystery opened in Bridgeport in 1884, when Dr. Crockett took a wife. His bride was Mary Hawley, daughter of Marcus Hawley, one of the weaithiest men in Connecticut. Their honeymoon took them to Florence, Italy, where not only did the honeymoon end, but the wedded life of the young couple also came to an end. At Florence they were joined by Mrs. Hawley, the bride's mother. Then without warning came the astonishing news that the Crocketts had separated. Quietly the young husband left Florence alone. For mouths the bride and her moth- er lingered in Italy, then returned to the Connecticut home. No explanation was at- tempted. So, while folks marveled and gossiped, the young husband filled the pulpit of a little country church within 16 miles of the Haw- ley mansion, where the young wife lived with her parents, shunning society and hid- | her grief. or four years this went on, and then Dr. Crockett resigned his charge and de- parted without a word. He went to New York, laid aside the min- istry, wrote for newspapers, assisted in ed- iting the Century Dictionary, and ultimate- ly drifted into educational work. At pres- ent he is a teacher in a private institute in this “ie **No, don’t blame my poor wife in the jeast,’’ said Dr. Crockett “yesterday. ‘‘The jong concealed truth is simply this. Our two lives were wrecked by too much mother-in- law. Both of us have suffered. Her moth- er—a wonderful woman, by the way, whose personal charm and magnetism were all- conquering—proceeded to manage our af- fairs. I resented her interference. “It was for my bride to decide which to follow, her mother or her husband. Her decision, although deferred a few hours, was never in doubt for an instant. The strong-willed mother dominated her abso- lutely and we parted. “One thing let me say most emphatical- ly. Malicious _ has accused my wife of many terrible things in explanation of our separation. She was guilty of no wrong. “T see in the action for divorce which my wife has at last brought the hand of my formidable mother-in-law. She knows that the law will give me a share in her daugh- ter’s inheritance and would move heaven and earth to keep me out. Bah! She is tak- ing trouble for nothing. I do not seek, neither would I touch, a penny of the Haw- ley millions.” TRUSTS MUST G0, Republicans in Congress Loud in Denouncement. THEY START AN INVESTIGATION. INSIST THAT THEY ARE SINCERE IN THE MOVEMENT. Congressman Fitzgerald Inaugurates a Fight on the Standard Oil Com- pany Under Sherman Anti- Combine Law: Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 17.—Both pariies in Congress are shouting ‘‘the trusts must go’’ and all shouters claim to be sin- «ere. Representative Fitzgerald of Massa- chusetts yesterday prodded the Standard Gil Co. with this resolution: “Whereas, It appears as a matter of pub- lic record that the Standard Owl Company paid, in the City of New York, on March 15, 1900, the sum of $17,000,000, this amount being an extra dividend, tn addition to the regular quarterly dividend of $3,000,000; and ‘“‘Whereas, It is a maiter of public record that this last dividend is $0,000,000 in excess of the last quarterly dividend paid by this corporat.on; and ‘‘Whereas, It is also a matter of public record that the price of Kerosene oil, the sole means of lehting used by the middle and poorer classes of people, during the period of time between the declaration of these dividends, was increased 3 cents per gallon, constituting a tax on every home in the land; therefore, ‘be jt ‘Resolved, That, in the opinion of Con- gress, this action of the Standard Oil Com- pany is in direct violation of the provisions of the Sherman anti-trust law, and, there- fore, punishable by fine and imprisonment, and the Attorney-General! is hereby direct- ed, in aceordance witn the provisions of that act, to direct the several district-at- torneys of the United States, in their re- spective districts, to institute proper pro- ceedings to bring the above-named viola- tors of law to justice.”’ “TT shall endeavor to have this resolu- tion passed,’’ said Mr. Fitzgerald. ae | have personal knowledge of the advance made in the price of Kerosene oll by the trust, and as it is a tax on the majority of the people, Congress should take some ac- tion to have it stopped. 1 am not actuated by a desire to obtain campaign material.’’ The Republicans are beginning to realize the importance of the trust issue in the coming campaign Representative Ray. chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said to-day: ‘‘Existing laws are practically of no avail, because of the ease with which they are evaded. The peopie of this country need protection from the enormous combi- nations, but the remedy exists only ina constitutional amendment.”’ The sub-committee appointed by Mr. Ray yesterday to investigate the trusts is con- ceded to be one of the strongest that could be selected. It is composed largely of the ablest lawyers of the House. The commit- tee as announced is as follows: Ray, chair- man; Jenkins, Overstreet, Littlefield, Terry, Lanham and Elliott of South Carolina. A resolution will be Introduced in the Senate Monday next directing the President of the Senate to appoint a committee to in- vestigate the reports that certain Senators are directly connected. with and pecuniarily interested in trusts. be resolution will be drafted by a Democratic Senator and pre- sented by a Republican. The resolution. it appears, {s directed agains Senator Jones of Arkansas, who is interested in the round bale cotton trust. The attack on him, his friends declare, is simply a lever toa secure his removal as chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee. —_> COFFINS MUST BEAR LABEIS AND DIGGERS HAVE CARDS. IF THE LAST PLAN DEVELOPS. Then Labor Unions Will Control Everything That Is Manufactured From the Cradle to the Grave. CHICAGO, March 17.—The latest depart- ments of labor which have been sought out by unions are those of coffin making and grave digging. Plans for bringing both into the union fold have been made and suc- cess seems assured. A committee has been appointed by the woodworkers to unionize the coffin fac- tories. They will begin with a factory on Carroll avenue. ‘They will insist that each casket bear the union label, which is a metal plate, with the worus, ‘“‘Union made— Amalgamated Woodworkers’ Internatinal Union of America.’’ A large number of members of the woodworkers organization have been empuioyed in the making Of CO.- tins, but heretofore there has been no Move- ment to compel the manutacturers (0 unionize their tactories, and so none of the caskets have borne the union label. i‘o enforce the use of union coffilns, the woodworkers, as soon as they have union- ized the factories, will attempt to organize the grave diggers into a anion, and have them refuse absolutely to inter a body un- less it is incased in a union-made casket. It is estimated that there are about 100 grave diggers employed in the cemeteries of Chi- cago, and, by organizing them, the labor unions feel that the y could control the situation. 5 “We already have union labels on all cradles made,”’ said Secretary John Lee ol the woodworkers, ‘‘and why should we not have union coffins and union grave aiggers. It is to the interest of labor men to have every article used, from the cradie to the grave, union-made. Union labels have brought about the use of union underwear. thé drinking of union beer, the smaking o! union cigars, the consumption of union bread. and why should we not label our product?’”’ SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY. It Will Hold an Important Meeting Sunday Afternoon. The Social Democratic party of St. Louts will hold a meeting Sunday afternoon, 2:50 p. m., at Archenbroedel Hall, 604 Market street, to ratify the nomination of Eugene V. Debs for president and Job Harriman for vice-president. The delegates to the na- tional convention, which met at Indian- apolis last week, will make their report. The joint committee appointed by the So- cialist Labor Party and the Social Demo- cratic Party to draw up a plan for uniting the two parties, will meet in New York March 2%. The agreement of this committee will be submitted to a referendum vote of each party, as they are both governed in the referendum principle. The Socialists of St. Louis claim the party wiil make a good showing in St. (Louis, and throughout the country. They assert that nearly all trades unionists will vote the ticket, and point to the declaration of W. D. Mahan. president of the Street Railway Employes’ Association of America, at a Belleville meeting Tuesday night, in which he urged the people to vote for Debs, as an indication of what is to be expected from the trades unions.

Ohian Invents a Device That Is a Sure Cure for All Nervous Diseases, Rheumatism, Weakness and All Forms of Constitutional Sick- ness—Those Who Have Used It Declare It to Be the Most Remarkable Invigorant Ever Pro- duced for Man, Woman or Child. A quick-witted individual from Ohio, has patented and placed on the mar- ket a bath cabinet that will be of great interest to the sick and debilitated. Itisa sealed compartment in which one comfori- ably reste cn a chair, and, with only the head outside, may have all the invigorating, | cleansing and purifying effects of the most} luxurious Turkish bath, with none of its, dangers, inconveniences or enervating in- fluences. A well-known physician in Hud- 8) OWING CABINET READY FOR USE. son, Mich... ©. H. Colbath, M. D., gave up his practice to sel] these bath cabinete, feel- ing that they were to a very large extent all that his patients need have to get well. Another physician, Dr. F. W. Black, has followed Dr. Colbath’s example and he, too, devotes all his time to selling the bath cabinets. Many remarkable letters have been written to the inventor from those who have used the cabinet, one of which, referring to INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM will be Interesting to those who suffer with this dreaded malady: Toledo, | if the baths are taken regularly. of course, a good scientific reason why the cabinet accomplishes the fact of reducing flesh and these points are well brought out in a very instructive Httle book issued by the inventors. AS a means to CURE SKIN DISEASES. the cabinet is unquestionably the finest thing in the world. People who have been testing patent medicines, spring tonics and blood purifiers should get into a vapor bath cabinet and it won't be long before they have a skin as smooth, clear and glossy as the most fastidious could desire. The great feature of this bath cabinet is the fact that it opens the several million pores all over the body, stimulates the sweat glands, and thus all the impure salts, acids and mois- ture in the system are liberated in a nat- ural manner instead of overworking the lungs, kidneys, bladder and the liver. A separate device, which can be attached to the bath cabinet if desired, igs a COMPLEXION STEAMER, in which the face may be given the same vapor treatment as the body. This produces the most wonderfully brilliant results and will undoubtedly be popular with the ladies. Whatever will hasten perspiration every one knows will prove a beenfit. Turkish baths, massage, hot drinks, stimulants and hot foot baths, with quinine doses internally are all known to the majority of people as beneficial, but the best of these methods becomes crude and insignificant when com- pared with the convenient and marvelous «curative power of the cabinet bath as re- ferred to above. The cabinet is known as the NEW BUCKEYE VAPOR BATH CAB- INET. A pleasant feature of the cabinet is that it is so constructed that it may be folded flat in smadl space and put behind a door aut of the way. An opening for the arm has been added, making it convenient in remov- ing perspiration from the face and other- wise adding to the comfort of the bather. “My mother was prostrated with tnflam- matory rheumatism when your cabinet came, one week ago. the house, the swellings in her hand and arm gone, aml is getting perfectly well. ur doctor was very much astonished and says he will recommend the cabinet.” Quite a number of others write in a sim- filar strain, and there seems to be no doubt but what the long-sought for means of curing rheumatism, Bright's disease and al! urinary affections has been found.

One of the eight largest Sunday newspapers in the United States. THE LION AND THE LAMB It is said to be common talk in diplomatic circles in Wash- ington that The Hague conference has resulted in complete failure. Not a single power has ratified any of the treaties there prepared, and nobody believes that their confirmation is seriously contemplated, although our Government has taken one or two halting steps in that direction which, how- ever, are purely perfunctory. “This is about what clear-sighted observers expected, but the public avowal comes earlier than was anticipated. The sudden reappearance of the militant spirit just after this earnest effort of the Czar to promote the peace of the world is a curious coincidence. Commercial imperjalism seems to have taken alarm and asserted itself more emphat- ically than ever before. The notion that trade thrives on war is new in political thought, but it appears to be deeply seated. >> i ie The largest quarterly payment the United States Govern- ment ever makes is $5,459,000. The Standard Oil monopoly has just made a quarterly dividend payment of $20,000,000. The mighty American Republic itself looks small when we y feo these poles, the waves of magnetism which are produced leok upon this huge and unscrupulous combination. > > _ a a 4 EIGHT-HOUR DAY IN HOMES, Mre. Emmons Blaine of Chicago has organized her house- hold to the end that all domestic servants shall have an eight hour day, the “force’’ being divided into shifts of eight hours each. Mrs. Hiaine is always highly original in her benevolence, this not being the first time she has shown her humane dis- position. The objection to this scheme will be on the score of practi- cability. As Mrs Clinton Locke points out, it may work in a house where there are a large number of servants, but what about the maid of all work? There are a thousand homes where one servant is employed to one where there are half a dozen. And the number in which there are more than six is very small. Nevertheless the idea is worth discussion. The problem of domestic service is a phase of the labor movement of the time and will probably be solved along with that. Anything which helps in one direction helps in all others. 4 &.~ The sprinkling contractors’ “bluff” should not terrify the Street Commissioner even for a day. They had ample notice They agreed to use a given pattern of sprinkler and should be made to live up to the contract. Don’t give them twenty- four hours. > Lr i MR. SHELDON ON TAX DODGING. Mr. Sheldon did a good bit of work when he attacked the tax-dodgers of Topeka. “It is a fact,” says the preacher-editor, “as any Assessor will testify, that the poorer people are entirely willing to pay on an honest valuation. But with possession of much money @ man seems to acquire also a belief that good citizenship and taxation sre things far apart.”’ This is a severe indictment of the Topeka tax-dodgers. And, unhappily, it is too nearly true of other communities. Citizenship impHes rights and duties. The one cannot be maintained without the due performance of the other. If thoge best able to. pay taxes evade their duty and saddle it upon others, they cannot expect the victims to regard them with any degree of favor. _ Commenting upon the published facts, Mr. Sheldon says: “The chasm that yawns between the workingman and the man of wealth will never be filled up as long as the above facts remain to disgrace our Christian civilization.” Tax-dodgers should heed the warning. They cannot afford to shirk their public duties. Cecil Rhodes’ proposal to reduce the Dutch republics to the level of crown colonies does not bear out the assurance of the British authorities that the Boers will enjoy the blessings of English liberty. But it is dollars to dimes that his will will prevail. Triumphant greed has scant respect for liberty or human rights. i A GREAT RISCCVERY, The competition among Post-Dispatch readers for a prize for the best article suggesting the names of most famous Americans is bringing to the front some almost forgotten names. It is calling to the attention of the people of to-day men who ought to be remembered for all time. Among these is Joseph Henry, discoverer of the electro- magnet, without which, as a writer truly says, “all modern electrical development would have been imposaible." The fact that a piece of soft iron, placed in a coil of copper wire through which an electric current was passing, became @ powerful magnot, seemed at the time of small consequence. Yet it made porsible the Morse telegraph, the Bell telephone, the dynamo and the electric railway. The dynamo, which can be built to develop 10,000 horse- power and over, is nothing but a huge electro-magnet with a wire-wound armature between ita poles. When the current of electricity passes through the coils of wire surrounding waterfall or other source of power, this simple arrangement | of soft iron and copper wire will reproduce that power and do the work of thousands of men or horses. This ought to act ag a stimulant on the young inventor of to-day. The field of knowledge is illimitable. Who will be the next genius to give the world something as valuable as the electro-magnet ? os 2 eo —__—_—__——— The shocking death of little Mamie Neiner, under the wheels of a Mound City car, came on the heels of the Post- Dispatch’s protest against the continued use of worthless fenders. It is the duty of the city authorities to investigate both the question of fenders and the speed of cars and pass such ordinances as will make life reasonably safe on streets ; Where the cars run. ; dl CONSCIENCE MEN, It Is a hopeful sign when the conscience is appealed to in political discussion and moral considerations are given pre- cedence over mere political or commercial advantage. This moral note characterizes the Porto Rican debate. The Independent says: “The protest against the Porto Rican bill is a moral uprising. Have not our politicians learned how dangerous it is to ignore or to temporize with a protest that comes straight from the hearts of the people?” The average man follows Ris conscience in politics as {n most other matters. He does not always understand the merits of the questions he is called upon to decide, but given the understanding he commonly places himself on the side of right. In the Porto Rican case this average man knows little of legal, constitutional elements, but he has a tight grip on the morals of it. He will decide it according to his ideas of right and wrong. This moral temper is the salvation of Democracy. It is proof, in the long run, against all the seductive argu- ments of selfishness, And it will save the Porto Ricans from the outrage the commercialists desire to perpetrate. ) >& i '- =p The darkness enveloping the Postoffice building will en- lighten Postmaster General Smith concerning the needs of the postal service in St. Louis. A NEWSPAPER WONDER. When you open up your Post-Dispatch or other newspaper it may cause you to feel some wonder if you know that, in all probability, yours are the first hands that have ever touched its inside pages. The reason for this is that the paper is made from wood pulp. The woodman cuts down a spruce tree. It is hauled to the mill. There machinery strips off the bark, reduces the wood to pulp and makes it into paper. At every turn cranes, derricks, chains, cogs, rollers, steel teeth and other mechanical] contrivances keep the material out of human hands. The immense rolls are wound by. machines, loaded into car and wagon by machinery, put into pressroom and on to presses by other machinery, and finally printed and folded without hav- ing been directly touched by any human hand. This is a mechanical marvel of to-day which is no doubt duplicated in other branches of industry. It is very striking in the newspaper industry, which stands in the very front rank of mechanical perfection. The hardest work of a United States Senator seems to be to convince the people of his State that there are no vacan- cies in the Government departments at Washington. His health does not always break down under the strain, but his life is more or less shortened. There are no times so pros- perous as ‘to find nobody looking for a place in the Capital. tt a -~_- = Mr. Sheldon’s item about the baggageman who pays $500 of personal taxes and the wealthy prominent railroad official who pays only $90 will not surprise readers of ordinary news- papers, because the tax-dodgers have been for years a news- paper topic. Mr. Sheldon’s care to omit names, however, will be particularly noted. Pessimists wiio complain of the latest cold wave of March should not forget that no North American winter can be considered at an end before the 2lst of the month. Winter in April and May is a proper subject for criticism, but March is nore a winter month than a part of the spring season. Senator Hanna's talk about “alarming the labor of the United States” by dealing justly with the Porto Ricans will greatly amuse everybody who has read much about the manager of the President. Such a course might alarm Mr. Hanna, undoubtedly; it is altogether contrary to Hannaism. tt i Both the ex-Presidents are opposed to expansion through bloodshed, and if the President were not hynotized by Mr. Hanna he might not find it diffgcult to agree with them. Pos- sibly he will Go so when he himself becomes an ex-Presi- dent. i i in i i When Tom Reed was told that Congress now needs him to tell them what to do, he replied that they did not seem to need him to tell them whom to do, Our Porto Rican fellow- citizens will need no diagram of this one of the ex-Speaker’s jokes. Secretary Root finds that in Cuba our troops are in good health. Mr. Root should have extended his tour to the Phil- ippines. The Otis death lists are a standing invitation to him to report upon the health of our army in those jslands. The stupid Kepublicans in Congress think the Indiana and Northwestern Republicans are fools. There are fools some- where in the Republican party, or such statesmen would never have been elected to go to Washington. The Consul at Pretoria signs his dispatches “American Consul,” while his father signs ‘“‘Hay.’’ This prevents the ex- posure of too much Hay when their dispatches are published together. i a SS Cn The Empress Dowager of China, being only a woman, can- not understand why we close our doors and insist upon the opening of China's, Plain duty and tariff duty never had, and never will have. anything to do with each other. SS oe POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. There may be a South African persimmon awaiting Pole- Carew. The British have captured many laagers, but they are still without a Steyn. When Mr. Bull shall have captured all the fonteins, he will expect the Dutch to take water. There were several earnest seekers after Truth before he was arrested iy. Boston for deception by mail. Dr. Leyds thinks the Boer war will continue 12 months longer, but perhaps he underestimates Little Bobs’ capacity for bobbing around. Mr. McKinley would perhaps like to remind Mr. Harrison of the possibility that our tropical possessions may become a great market for ice. It is given out that Amos Hinsdale Plumb, son of the late Senator Plumb of Kansas, is loyal to the Republican party. Nevertheless, the Republican party is just now very much out of plumb. jood Editor Sheldon doubtless deeply regrets that his Christian newspaper enterprise has given Editor Howe an oppertunity to proclaim a belief that there is no life beyond the grave. But perhaps Editor Howe doesn’t really know much about the future State of mankind. = Ss ~~ - = ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. Cc. D. MARSHALL.—It is worth $6. J.

Koch, Vicar-General of Harrisburg, Pa., Diocese. O demon- | strate how maj- riage has fallen off in my pas- forate, records show that in 1870,when I pre- sided over @ congregation of 400 families at Locust Gap and at this place, there were 4 marriages. Last year in 300 fam- ilies there were 40 marriages. There should at least be 12 mar- riages annually to every 100 families. A large percentage of the young men of my parish are improvident. To-day they have scarcely one dollar to their names. Some of them earn $30, $40, $0 and $60 per month, and a few earn more than that. The young women, first of all, do marry because they want to step places where their mothers left off, Un- derstand, their mothers cultivated the sweets of home after years of endeavor. Why should not girls of to-day also be willing to undertake so bright a task? They are not to be blamed for refusing to encourage the young man to marry when he cannot take care of himself. The young men of my parish are not too bashful to propose marriage. They simply associate with the girls for the society of the hour, feeling that if they were to persist in their attentions they might fall in love with the maidens and tn the end be refused their hands in marriage. Young men should not become married until they are 21 years old, Young woimen should not think of entering the matri- monial state until they are from 2% to 2 rears old. They should be willing to make ome a paradise for their ambitious us- bands. not into A BUG LULLABY.

The human body is constantly undergo- ing tissue changes.

If you do not ac- custom yourself to drink water regularly you are Hable to have the waste products form faster than they are removed. Any obstruction to the free working of natural laws at once produces disease. Great weak- ness and languor on rising in the morning are generaliy due to a large secretion of these waste products, and the remedy is to drink a tumbleful of water—either hot or cold—just before retiring. This material- ly assists in the process dwring the night and leaves the tissues fresh and strong, ready for the active work of the next day.

The following extract will show the point of view, and it must be remem- bered that Mr. Stickney has had all need- ful opportunities to get the facts. “It is a war promoted and directed by the Roth- schilds and their two hired servants, Mr. Cecil Rhodes and Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. Mr. Rhodes is a servant of the ordinary kind, bougbt and paid in money. Mr. ChamberialIn is a servant of another kind, bought and paid by political influence, with money at its back. It is well understood in London—and in New York—by what means the Rothschilds have been able to secure the most powerful family influence in the highest circies of the British heredl- tary pligareay. In short, “it is a war for gold.’”’ Mr, Stickney shows up the pretense of the Outlanders, who do not come out weil when studied at first hand. They had no grievances save what were manufactured for them by the gold hunters. The book is racy reading. (‘The Transvaal Outlook, By Albert Stickney.

THE WESTERN LEAGUE. Hart Rejects Its Proposition to Place a Club in Chicago. CHICAGO, March 17.—The magnates of the American Baseball League he.d a pro- tracted secret session here to-day discuss- ing the make-up of the circuit for the com- ing baseball season. Great interest attached to the mecting, as upon the decision to_be reached depended whether or not the League would have a club in Chicago this | season. Those present were James Man- ning of Kansas City, C. H. Saulpaugh, Min- neapolis; J. F. Kilfoyl, Cleveland; Matt Kiliilea, Milwaukee; J. D. Burns, Detroit; W. H. Watkins, Indianapols; Charles Co- miskey, St. Paul, and President Ban John- son. Col.

Some of the others pres- ent, however, said they would support Co- miskey if he should bring a team here.

Dick Roche, for vears St. Louis’ leading ‘bookmaker and best known representative er the American turf, is here visiting old | friends, He was kept vary busy Friday sheking hands and explaining his presence here. When he registered at the Southern Clerk Lou Harper gre2ted him heartiiy. In the hotel corridor George MoaManus, | Hank Wider, Tom Caddick and others.of the old guard gave Dick the glad hand. “These things,’ said he, “‘make me feel !at home and remind me of the happy days | I put in here in the olden time.”’ A féw days ago there appeared in a St. | Louig newspaper a story which read like | tris: “Dick Roche, St. Louis’ famous book- miuker, one time not long ago was a rich man, and Davy Johnson, now a leading penciler of New York, was in hard lines. ‘Johnson, while in that plight, asked Roche to loan him money quite often and Roche always respended. “As timc went on Roche met with re- verses and he wus near the end of his hank roll one day when Johnson appeared and handed him a sealed envelope. On Opening it Roche-found 36 crisp $1000 notes. They were only a small part of the money that Johnson had borrowed from Roche in the latter’s prosperous days. Coming when they did they were a godsend to the vet- ¢ran St. Louis sport.”’ Dick laughed Friday when t ,2 story. ‘TI wish it was true,”’ he salu. “I elipped that story and sent it on to Davy this morn- ing and wrote, ‘Just see how much they think of you out here.’ “But Johnson is on Easy street now, and he’s a good boy and deserves to prosper and tc be spoken well of.”’ Roche is a modest fellow, and no one would ever learn from his lips that John- | gon ever owed him a penny, but stories of Dick’s big heart are not ata premium here. Here is one of them: He settled at Chicago a few years ago and backing Champion Schaefer in billiard halls that failed to pay and helping Cham- pion Jack McAuliffe and others along had crippled him financially. He telegraphed to a bookie in New York, a man he had often befriended. The message read: “*T need five thousand. Wire it.” The $5000 came quick. Dick received it at 11 o’clock in the morning. He had come from the telegraph office and he had the $300 in his hand and hie hand thrust in his overcoat pocket when he met a friend, the proprietor of a big liquor establishment in Chicago. ‘What's the matte’? said Dick to his friend, ‘You're not looking well.’’ “And I’m not feeling well,”’ said the friend. ‘“‘You see I’ve a note to pay before 12 and I haven't a dollar to pay it with. To repudiate it means my financial ruin.”’ RH, much money do you need?’ asked ick. “Five thousand,” sighed the saloon keep- er, ‘‘and only an hour to raise it in.”’ “Why, that’s easy,” said Dick. “I’ve got That much right here with me,”’ and pull- ing the money out of his overcoat pocket, he thrust the $6000 into the astonished sa- loon keeper's hands and then walked on. he act saved the man from ruin and he paid Roche the money back with interest. The men who write of sport are often forgotten by the people they write about, but Roche cannot be placed in the latter class. The greatest and best writer of port that ever lived in St. Louis lay dy- ing one day. The friends he had known in his better days had forsaken him and his wife was at her wit's end for funds when a rap came to the door. The mes- senger handed a ro)! of money to the weep- ing woman. “Mr. Roche told me to bring this up to you,’"’ the messenger said. ‘‘He thought perhaps you might need it, and he told me to tell you that if money will save your husband’s life, half his fortune is at your command.”’ True to his friends, generous in bright and dark days, quick to do a kind act and just as quick to strike down a mean one are traits of this veteran sportsman’s charac- ter that are brought out in this story. Ina game at New York, one night, Roche was unlucky, but a “‘friend’’ who owed him some $2000 won heavily. When they left the table Roche asked this ‘‘friend’’ for $400, The request was refused, a quarrel fol- | pooltroom | were bad. are built up beautifully, and I am going to | stay here a few days just to look around lowed, and Roche struck the man in the face and knocked’ him down. Both were arrested, taken to the lice station and searched. On Roche's friend several thous- and dollars were found, but before leav- ing the station he was compelled to pay his debt to Roche tin full. On the street a little later, Roche met an acquaintance whose wife had just died and who was in need of “+ gr + Hearing of his distress, Roche pushed the money “There's enough if it isn’t, come said: to help you out.

It was satronized by gentlemen and often the best- nown business men went into his place and took a “‘fiyer."’ It did an immense bus- ness and its proprietor was offen credited with clearing up more than $100,000 in a single year. One day he felt sick and be- lieving that there was too much excitement in the life he was leading he quit his busi- ness here and went to Europe. With his de- porcere went the standard he had estab- ished in the local turf betting line and his old room, which until then had been patronized solely by gentlemen sportsmen and veteran turf patrons, soon disappeared. Tt is the lasting friendships that Roche made here long ago that make his visit here at this time a real pleasure to him. He was greeted warmly Friday by old | friends like John Lindsay, Pat Carmody, Billy Hobbs, Col. Lew Clark, Dennis Devoy and a hundred others. “I find St. Louis greatly changed,” said ' Mr. Roche on Friday. ‘“‘When I lived here lines and the streets too, that the suburbs you had no ener d, I am to and size up those improvements. “I will be here until next week, and then 'I will return to New York, where we ex- ect to see the greatest racing season we hy =f; in years, “It w open at Aqueduct on Apri] 16.

It looks as though there might be war declared by the American League when it meets at Chicago this morning.

Hart of the Chicago League club on Thursday morning. “Loftus tele- phoned me to come to a certain room in the Great Northern Hotel. 1 went, and found Loftus and Ban Johnson there. We reached no peace agreement; as has been reported. We simply had a short talk on basehall matters in general. 1 am still op- posed to the invasion of the Chicago club's territory by the American League. I can- not say what the final outcome of the con- trovergy wiil be, but I see no reason why I should change my attitude in regard to fighting for my rights.” Dreyfus of Pittsburg says: ‘““‘The Chicago club has been improved some by the pur- chase of Childs, but the strongest man of that club will not be there this year. | mean Bill Lange; he is a wonder.

New Office Created and a Bill for Re- lief Introduced. While the cry is being raised that there is no money with which to pay the legitimate expenses of the city government. the iIn- crease of questionable expenditures goes merrily on. The Council Friday night passed a bill providing for the creation of a new office, that of clerk to the assistant prosecuting attorney, at a salary of $900 a year. A bill was presented to the Council from the House for the relief of Magnus W. Holtz, assistant clerk of the First District Pelice Court. The bill carries an appro- priation of $%4%.%, which is to be paid to Holtz for services rendered as assistant 16, 1990. Holtz was appointed without au- thority of law. The office was simply created by the Republican machine In order to provide a job for a worker. The Auditor refused to pay his salary because there was no legal authority for the office he was holding and a bill was passed creating the office. The bill went into effect Jan. 16. In the meantime, Holtz continued to hoid the office, knowing that he had no legal status, but depending upon the administra- tion to “save his bacon.’ This the ad- ministration proposes to do by the passage of a bill ordering the Auditor to pay him $435.50 for services rendered during the time when there was no iegal authority for the office he was holding.

The sprinkling season of 10 began Gat- urday. Superintendent Becker said he had a fw force of carts out. The sprinkling was badly needed, as the dry, cold weather has made a deal of dust, which the winds of March kept constantly in motion.

Three girls sat gazing out in the west, Out in the west, where the eun went down. Two were typewriters, and one confessed That she had no business in the town. **T» board la hateful,’’ they all agreed— They said they were weary of life and breath; No boarding house people knew how to feed; Of hamburger steak they were sickened to death, Said Mollie, the idle, ‘‘I know I'm no use As clerk or typewriter or miiliner’s band; But I can keep house, don't call me a goose, If you'll listen I'll make you two understand. Let us hire some rooms, quite out of the way; I'll show you my talents—what they are worth; I'll furnish our rooms up on weekly pay, We'll have just the dearest wee home on earth.’ You'd laugh, I sup , if I told you the truth, The other girla listened, as wise girle can; They did not consider it madness of youth When Mollie suggested an installment plan. The rooms were eecured, the furniture bought. Such carpets and curtains as fancy would tickle; They ordered a lot, much more than they ought, But they did not regret it, they went to M’ NICHOL. So two went abroad to earn as much money As typewriting brings, and Mollie wag cook, And housemaid and buyer—wasn't it funny? She kept her accounts in a leather-bound book, But they are the happiest girls you can meet. At night they have company, asked In to tea; Their home is the envy of all in the street. And just as a favor they've told it to me. The old agony of lodging and boardin with. Plenty to eat, pretty belongings an ble to keep house with gas ranges.

Her Neighbcrs at Rich Hill, Mo., Thought This City Would Fur- nish Her Transportation. Mme. Sarah Frere and her family of five children are in pitiable circumstances at Union Station. They desire to return to France, their native land, but have no money with which to continue their jour- ney. Mrs. Frere came to the United States three years ago, soon after the death of her husband. She was penni.ess and had a ag! family to support. Somebody her at the United States offered oppor- tunities for her to make a living that were “mot to be had in France. So she sailed for New York, where she remained a year. Shea found life sO hard that she started West in search of something better. She located at Rich Hill, Mo. She soon found she had not bettered her- self, but remained there in the hope times would improve for her. They grew worse, however, and a few days ago, she felt longing ‘to return to her native vine-clad ; hills. She told her neighbors she beiieved that if she could once more reach France she cou.d get aid from old friends and would find pienty for herseif and children to do. She says the. neighbors urged her to make the attempt to return. When she told them she had no money, she claims they told her to sell her furniture and se- cure sufficient funds to reach St. Louis, where the public would provide her with » transportation all the way to France. She beiieved these statements and sold ber furniture. With the litt.e that ehe real- ized from it she purchased tickets to St. Louis. After this transaction, she had only a fow coppers left. She left Rich Hill Frt- day night, arriving in St. Louis Saturday. She was placed in the custody of Matron fiunter. They had not had any food siice leaving Rich Hill and the Matron secured a good breakfast for them. Mme. Frere seemed toa have been im- pressed through the statements of her Rich Hill neighbors with the idea that upon ar- riving at U ogg Station all she would have to do would be to walt for the pablic to provide her with the necessary funds to continue her travel io France. But she saon learned that no one was particularly inter- ested in her and that getting money tor her aid would be quite as difficult in St. Louis as in Rich Hill, notwithstanding the aesurances of her friends. Matron Hunter told her that if only a few dollars were needed to carry her to her ces- tination it might be pracured, but that raising enough money to pay France was out of the question, Frere was made despondent by this mation, She insisted that she must France and would not hear ing made to get work for‘ner in St. L She was tired of the United States, where she had never been able to do more than eke out a mMeager existence. She had up her mind she could not live without re- turning to France, and declared she wou'd not lose hope that some kind-hearted per- son would assist her on her way. She finaly eoneluded that she make application to SM. Seguvinot, Consul in this city, for She satd thought he would «ive her all ihe anee she neede:t, Mme. Frere's children 4:0 13vears.

Bulled on a prediction of only 6.400.000 bu for the world's shipments, with 320,000 bu from Aus- tralia, Liverpool closed %d up. Our higher close yesterday had a stimulating effect and in turn tne foreign close gave our futures a boost. Narrow and speculative trade, with the scalp- ers in the majority, characterived our market to- dav. At no time was the sealp secured of much value, but it was due to this clasa of trade that even a show of intereat was maintained. Statistically the position of the bulls is the strongest, but the general outlook and the con- tinued failure of bul! itemea particularly crop daim- age reports, to materialize, keeps them in an un- pieasant state of ui wertainty. Dith the develop- ment of damage news prices will go higher. The market is on the alert, ready to advauce or go lower, according to the dictates of outside news.
