Yormer Diagnosed the Case as Con- tusion, While the Latter De- clare It a Serious Case of Fracture. John Reitz of 4257 North Twentieth street was held sixteen hours by the the Fourth District under a charge of in- toxication. When he was released at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning he could not bear his weight on his left leg: He was taken to the City Hospital by way of the City: Dis- pensary. The surgeons of the City Hospital and Dr. Vogel of the City Dispensary, who twice examinei Reitz, disagreed.as to the extent of his injuries. Reitz drives a wagon for the city. He Was on a north-bound Bioadway cable car at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon en route home. At Wash street he attempted to enter the grip car from the trailer while the train was in motion. He slipped and fell between the cars. The train was halted after Reitz had been Cragged twenty feet. Tde police say he was intoxicated an only complained of a slight injury to his leg. He was take to the City Dispensary, where he was examined by Dr. Vogel. There, it is claimed, he was violent and it. was with difficulty an examination was made. Dr. Vogel says he found the lower leg and foot badly bruised and a laceration on the under side just below the knee. Ac- cording to this surgeon's statement Reitz could manipulate the knee joint and did do so in attempting to rise from the operat- ing table. he injured part was dressed for a contu- sion ani the man was returned to the cus- tody of the police. At the Fourth District Station, seventh and Carr streets. a charge of intoxication was preferred and Reitz was placed in a cell. Dr. made another examination. While the leg had swelled and darkened during-the ‘night Dr. Vogel says he found nothing to cause him to change the original diagnosis of contusion. He says the swell- ing indicated there might be a sprain and at the patient’s request sent him to the City Hospital. At that institution he was carefully ex- amined by Supt. Nietert, Dra. Amyx and Babler. The diagnosis was lacerated leg and fractured head of tibia. The leg was greatly swollen and darkened from knee to toea. His foot and ankle were particu- larly erilarged and discolored. The lacera- tion on the under side was pronounced of itself, serious. According to City Hospital surgeons who made the examination and treated the pa- tient, he should have been sent to that. in- stitution as soon as possible after the in- jury. The sixteen hours delay, they say, have greatly increased the danger of seri- ous complications, Reitz admits that it was not until morn- ing that he asked to be sent to the City Hospital. ; “I stand by my diagnosia.”” Dr. Vogel at the City Dispensary said, when told of the City Hospital surgeons’ statements. “I found nothing to indicate a fracture. The laceration and vontusion were properly dressed here. Reitz was eent to the City Hospital partly because he asked to ba and because after seeing the swollen condi- tion I decided that he should have constant treatment.” “Reitz was returned to the etation.” said Police Captain Kieley, ‘ton the recommen- dation of Dr. Vogel at the City D‘spensary. ce a teh hag been made to headquar- s.

She was 82 years old lact December. Mrs. Patterson went to Covington to live with her brother a few months ago. The circumstances attending the giving up of her residence in St. Lou's were somewhat remarkab'e, In November last patch published a partial story Mrs. Patterson's jife, in which it was told how she learned to paint at the age of 72 years and vecame so rroficient in the art that she was able to earn a living at it. A copy of ihe paper containing the story fell into the hands of Mrs. Lydia Coagley of Colorado Springs, Coto. Mrs. Coagley recognized in accompanying the story her from whom she had been separated and hdd not heard for 39 years. She is wealtny and de- termined to visit her sister.

SAN JACINTO, Ca'., March 20.—Great excitement prevails in San Jacinio, as it has been discovered that part of San Ja- cinto mountain had. slipped into a sub- terranean cavern. A territory covering sixty acres, at an elevation of 4000 feet, was dislodged by the recent earthquake and had slipped 150 feet lower that it had previously stood for centuries, The face of the new valley Is traversed with fissures and cracks varying in width from an inch to six feet across, and it !s impussible to see either bottom or to sound the depths by throwing stones into them. A young man was lowered forty feet in the crevice and the bottom could not be seen by the venturesome youth. /Yester- day being Sunday, every procurable ve- aicle was driven eleven miles, to the southeastern foot of this great spur of Zan Jacinto park. Once at the broken rim of this mountain range the eye sur- veyed a oscene of terrible devastation. The great earthquake has been succeeded by dozens of ight shocks, and aiinough hese are becoming infrequent, residents are much alarmed. NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION.

TROUBLE IS OVER THE WAGES. | secbetary District Council Says Men Must Get an Increase by April 1 Else They’ll Quit Work. “After April 1 the union carpenters of this city will get 45 cents an hour or they won't work. That's positive. And we will get it, too, or I'll resign my job."’ This was the emphatic declaration made to the Post-Dispatch Tuescay morning by R, Fulle, secretary of the Carpenters’ Dis- trict Counci). In view of the fact that the Master Builders’ Association Monday after- noon decided not to agree to the demand of the carpenters for an increase in wages from 35 to 45 cents an hour, it dees not take a large amount of thinking to see that a general carpenters’ walk-out is among the interesting probabilities of the near ture. The differences between the carpenters and the master builders are not of recent | Nearly six months ago the builders | orig.n. were notified that the new scale would go} a num-| into effect on April 1, since then ber of conferences have been held by com- mittees representing both At the last one, Mr. Fueile, H.

That is tnat the union agrees to prevent its members from com- petung with the builders. What I mean is thas: A journeyman wiil agree to do a cer- ta.n job and will hire his own men. This brings him in direct competit.on with mem- bers of our association. In our couference we tried to get the carpenters tv agice not to aliow their members to engage .n this sort of work, but they wouidn't. 1 am not in favor of acceding to their de- mands until they do. 1 admit that they contention that wages in other branches of the pnuilding trades have advanced of .aie is correct. But, then, the piaeterers, the bricklayers, the silaters, the stonemasons and the plumbers, at the time the increase in wages was agreed to by the bosses, en- into just such an agreement as the carpenters now refuse to sgn. You can’t union journeyman brick.ayer com- a bess bricklayer for a piece of work now. The carpenters say that they cannot make such an agreement, as the by-laws of their union say that they may do work for a friend. We.l, under this theory, they can do work for any- body in the guise of a fr.end. That is the chief reason why we have fa.led to ge together so far.”’ The carpenters say they are kept apart by an entirely different reason. They de- c.are the master builders want them to agree not to work for anybody else but members of their association. F are perfectiy wiliing to do even said Mr. Fuelle Tuesday morning, will agree to furnsh emp oyment for all our men. But’the troube Is, there are about as many master builders out ot the association as there are in it. I have a list here of over 150 builders who are not members of thelr association. The members of the association say that if we agree to work for them only. it will force the other builders to join their That wou'd be a good thing, wouldn't They want us to organize thelr association for them and don't care if some of our men starve while we are doing !t.

Arrasmith lived on the Morris Lewis farm four miles north of ‘Belleville. Last May he went to Ottawa, Iil., and married | Miss Mary Schmidt, a’ worthy young wo- i'man whom he had known when he, too, lived there. When they returned to Belle- ville they brought with them Daisy, the 4- child of Arrasmith by a former The young woman had been tak- the marriage | year-old marriage. ing care of the child before and was devoted to her. The three settled down tn a little house which Arrasmith had built with his own hands in the edge of the timber on the farm. On June 1 Arrasmith said he would go to St. Louis and attend to some business. At the suggestion of his wife he fulfilled a promise to the little girl by taking her with him. He drove to Belleville in a two-horse wagon and leaving it at a wagon yard tooky /an electric car for St. Loule His wife has i never seen either him or the litt!e girl since. When they did not return ehe asked the St. Louis police to assist her in finding ‘them. No trace of them was found. It was regarded as a great mystery how a man accompanied by a little child could 60 eas- ‘ily drop out of sight. After a time the bride made up her mind that she would never see Arrasmith again and went back to her home in Ottawa. Morris Lewis of Ottawa, on whose farm Arrasmith had lived, was determined to find him. He sent a letter to the postmaster of Patriot. Ind., where he knew Arrasmith had formerly lived. The postmaster turned ‘the letter over to the Sheriff. He found Ars« rasmith at Rising Sun, in the interior of the County. He had borrowed some money from his first wife’s sister and opened a bi- cycle repair shop. “Mr. Lewis came to Belleville Monday to visit relatives, and gave the detal's of the second disappearance of Arrasmith. He sent the <ieter and mother of his first wife. who had been living with him and taking care of the child away from the house on some pretext. They took the chi'd with them. and while they were away he con- verted a tandem into a single bicycle, and tying a bundle of his belongings on it rode away and he has not been seen since. Mr. lewis says he hae alto learned that Arrasmith married a young woman at Chrisman, Ill... in 1895 and left her after liv- ing with her three months. She obtained a divorce a few Miss Schmidt.

This time the Seckner Contracting Company of Chicago put in the lowest bid. Its bid was $23.77 per 1000-lamp hours for arc lights and $4.79 per hour for incan- descent lights To light the city for year at these figures would cost $99,640.80. During the season of 1898-1899, the total cost waé only $76,283. and under the bid of Mr. Budd of Bunker Hill, it wuuld have been only $48,656.10. So the city will not save much Dy accepting any of the new. bids. The Board adjourned after opening the bids and will hold an adjourned session this afternoon at which some action will likely be taken. There were four bidders Tuesday morning and their bids, all figured on a basis of 1000-lamp hours, were as follows: Missouri-Edison Electric Light & Power Co., are lights, $32.90; Incandescent, $5.84. Laclede Gaslight Co., are lights, $30; in- candescent, $6.2 D. W. Guernsey of St. Louis, $29; incandescent, $6.08. Seckner Contracting Co. of Chicago, arc lights, $23.77; incandescent, $4.79. The Seckner Contracting Co. has an office in the Rookery Building, Chicago. Its representative at the opening of the bids was George Mayer. Mr. Mayer said his company was acting in good faith in en- tering a bid, and that it expected to carry out the contract. He said his company had been for a number of years in the business of constructing municipal] light- ing p.ants, but had recently secured a franchise to furnish light to the city of y arc lights, Syracuse, N. Y. Alexander Ross represented the Laclede Gaslight Co. at the bidding. Sherman Pike represented the Missouri-Edison Co. 'Sim T. Price and a number of others were i present.

They invited Mr. Mayer to be ‘present at the meeting in the afternoon, when he wiil be questioned as to the stand- ing of his company and its ability to carry out the contract.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright. 1900.) LONDON, March 4.—Talk of intervention increases as the power of the South Afri- can Republics to resist Lord Roberts’ vic- torious march on Pretoria decreases. Report is busy with suggestions of in- termeddling by Russia. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Berlin Anzieger tele- graphs that “‘the minister for foreign af- fairs has prepared an official note which will be published within the next day or two. It contains Russia’s answer to Pres- ident Kruger’s request for intervention. “The note has been drawn up with the knowledge and consent of France and Ger- many and has received the full approval of the Czar. “As regards its contents, all that the cor- respondent has been able to learn is that the note is directed, with due precautions, against England and its tone is very eerious and will certainly not fail to make a deep ; | Ment that all the Britle#h authorities there ' will impreseion.”’ Following this comes the suggestion that Germany will protest against Br.tish occu- pation of Johannesburg, because of the danger to German interests there that such a step would entail. The morning papers comment freely on this One says: “Just imagine a government which has formally declined all outside intervention permitting Germany to d.ctate the course of Lord Roberts’ march to Pretoria. The German Foreign Office knows better than to invite the snub it, would infal.ib:y re- ceive if it ventured to whisper so prepos- terous a proposal in Downing street.” No one expects Russia or any other European power to help the Boers because their jiberty is at stake. The question that may cause intervention is one of com- Europe will hardly stand idly by and permit Great Britian to extend her empire in South Africa, unless other pow- lers are in some way compensated, The | question of Russia's intervention, then, wil] hinge solely on the granting of what she may demand from England as the price of her acquiescence to England's purpose in Africa. It is regarded as prob- a@ble that England will not willingly pay the price which Russia may demand, for it might jeopardize her sway in India. Then would come a movement on the part of Russia in Afghanistan which would opera- ate in favor of the Boers, as it would cer- tainly call some of her troops from South in east Africa. A dispatch from Bloemfontein says the Boers blew up the ralliroad bridge over the Modder River, 14 miles north, last night. This shows that Joubert is still active a short distanre from the British front. An official report from Pretoria says that This story, however, is not taken seriously. Mafeking, it is said, will make an excellent base for the British from which to attack the Boers, who are now strongly intrenched at Witwatersrand Ridge. Ir} a short time a strong force will be gathered at Mafeking and, with the aid 22 of these troops, Lord Roberts should find 44 it an easy task to clear the way to Pretoria. Lord Methuen ts advancing steadily from 32 - @ Kimberley. but it is not known how many troops he has with him. It ig not thought likely that ' would have sent 4nything like an insaf< ficient force to the relief of Mafeking. . He is well aware how much Importance the Boers attach to the chance of capturing the Jeader, and the garrison who have so long defied them. Besides, there are along with Col. Baden-Powell, such men as Lord Edward Cecil, Lord Charles Bentinck, Capt. Fitzclarence, and others, whose sacial relations in Great Britain are of the best. It is by no means likely that the British commander will allow the Boers to make 'such a rich capture as awaits them at Mafe. king should the garrison fall before relief can reach it. THE PLAN OF PACIFICATION British Volunteers Will Be Induced te Settle on Farms in the Con- quered Territory. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright. 10900.) LONDON, March 2®.—A part of the British plan for the pacification of South Africa is now apparent in the announce- make every effort to induce the fe- serviets, the time-expired men, the volune teers and the Colonials from abroad to set<- tle there as #oon as the war is over, by giving them 20 acres of land each pro- vided they will occupy the land for ten years. The agents of all the colonies and the authorities of Rhodesia and the Britieh South African Company in London are lending aid to the plan. It is said that the men who do not wish to take up land wiil be made tempting ofe- fers to enlist in the Chartered (British Seuth African) Company’é fleld force une 'der Gen. Carrington.

This caused something of a sen- sation, and as the candy had a peculiar taste the ladies did not eat any more of it. While they were talking, Mrs. Morey Was taken sick and had a severe spell of vomiting. Soon Mrs. Gasiin was affected the same way, and theip condition became so alarming that a physician was sent for. When he arrived he saw that the symp- toms denoted poisoning and he began to question the other ladies. They told him of the candy, and one of them remarked that it tasted more like prepared chalk than anything else. “That's the way ar- senic tastes,’ said the doctor, and he com- menced immediately to administer anti- dotes, Mrs. Morey and Mrs. Gaslin con- tinued to grow worse and for days lingered between life and death. The other ladies, having barely tasted the candy, were only slightly affected. Chemical te&ts developed enough arsenic in a single plece of the candy to kill a whole community. During two days, while the whole town was discussing the pofsoning and the excite- ment was growing intense, Miss Horlocker displayed the most extraordinary nerve. She went quietly to her work in Mr. ge ti tn office and attended to her regular duties with the same promptness and accuracy that had made her services 80 valuable to the firm. While Mr. Tibbets, Mr. Morey’s partney, was at work on the case, Miss Horlocker entertained the visitors at the ‘ discussing the attempt upon Mrs. ’ life with persons who came in, pressing surprise and regret coupled with hope that she would speedily recover.

She watches the jurors in the examination as to their fitness to sit on the case, occasionally smiling at some oft their replies. The work of securing the jury will occupy at least al! of to-day and probably to-morrow forenoon. Miss Horlocker is the young woman who fs accused of having sent a box of polsoned candy to Mrs. Anna Morey, the w.fe of her employer, a lawyer at astings, Neb. She has been in a private sanitarium at Jacksonville, Ijl., for the past vear. Miss Horlocker is represented in court by Judge John M. Ragan, ex-Supreme Court Commissioner of Nebraska; Batty, Dungan & Burton, and John C. Stevens. Miss Horlocker is a member of a family of sisters well known in art and literature and her friends are infiuential enough to command an uble array of legal talent. The accused is a young woman of pre- possessing appearance, a decided brunette, weil educated and of cultivated tastes. She is possessed of a strong contralto voice and usually took a nn part in local mu- gical entertainments. She stood well in so- clal circles and because of her accomplish- ments and affable manner her presence was elways welcomed at the various society functions. Miss Horlocker is accused of an upon the life of ‘Mrs. Anna Morey, wife of Mr. C. F. Morey of the law firm of Tibbets Bros. & Morey, leading attorneys at Hasi- ings, In whose office she was employed as stenographer. The means employed was candy dosed with arsenic, and the incentive (Mise Horlocker’s allewed infatuation for her employer, Morey. Qn the 10th of April, 1899, when Mrs. Morey, who is an artist, returned to her studio from the Hotel Bostwick. where she had dined with her husband, she found at the door a box of chocolate bonbons. With the candy was the visiting card of Miss Nellle Kirby, a prominent young society woman. On the reverse side of the card were the words, Inscribed In a feminine hand, *“‘Home-made sweets.” Shortly afier- ward a half-dozen of the most prominent ladies of the city, pupils of Mrs. Morey, gathered for their regular lesson. When they had finished and the ladies were dis- cussing thelr work, Mrs. Morey remember. ed the candy and passed it around. Just at this juncture, MiSs Kirby, who had not visited the studio before for a year, came in, and when Mrs. Morey beean to thank her for the bonbons she expressed surprise ee > — a ee ST aa - Se es ee SLEEPS NOW.

As she knew to whom theasv had been given nine of them were easily secured. The tenth, and the only one that is missing, is one that was left with Mrs.. George Hayes, Miss Horlocker’s sister. Miss Hoylocker had been clerk of the County Court pre- vious to her employment by Tibbets Bros. & Morey, besides being a notary public, and there was no @ifficulty in securing sam- ples of her handwriting. The inscriution on the card left with the candy and Miss Horlocker’s writing, as found in various documents of public record, are said to be idertical. Mr. Morey, Miss Horlocker’s employer came out with a statement in which he sal that he knew of the girl's infatuation for himself and that the fact was also known to Mrs. Morey. After the interview with Mr, Tibbets, in which she was accused of the crime, Miss Horlocker went to the office of her brother- in-law, Mr. George S. Hayes, a prominent grain dealer, to her home. on an @ast-bound Purlington passenger train, accompanied by her mother and Mr. | Hayes, The next day a warrant was is- sued and placed in the hands of the sher- iff She was finally located at Sheldon, lo., where she had become hysterical and had attempted to commit suicide.

A few later she was taken to Jacksonville. where she has been under treatment at a private sanitarium until the present trial. REPUBLICAN PRIMARY APRIL 6.

PORTO RICO TARIFF BILL EM- PHATICALLY REPUDIATED. Expression of Sympathy for the Bocrs in Their Heroic Struggle to Main- tain Their Independence. LINCOLN, Neb., March 20.—The plat- form adopted by the Democrats of Nebras- ka at the State Convention here. re- garded as foreshadowing the action of the Nations! Democratic Convention. Its key- note is denunciation of imperialism. Prior to the adoption of the platform Mr. Bryan addressed the convention. He charged the Republican party with practicing a deliberate fraud upon the voters in 1896 by holding hope of international bimetallism, when the leaders neither ex- nor desired the restoration of the double standard, either by Independent action or by international agreement. He said that the ratio of 16 to 1 was the only ratio that was discussed, and the only ratio for which any considerable number of people were working. He denounced the currency feature of the financial Diii, and said that the Republican party had never in & campaign advocated the retire- ailu thal iat Wouid vefore the is . + out the pected Pe eenbackKs defend that Dbiuai Said that a nailuna. bank Currency secutea by goverment bonus wouid not be a permanent settiement of tue gurrency quesiion un.i: we had a per- nanent ana increasing nationa. debt. ias#- ing up the Philipp.ne quesi.on, he referred fiisi (O the kuerto Rico Dbiil, and said: “The desire to impose import duties on goods coming [trom ruerto Rico compel.ed ine Republican party to d.sc.ose .ts impe- ria istic tendenc.es.

Are the Filipinos to ex- pect to participate in our elections? Is a presidential contest to ‘be determined by the returns from the Philippine Islands? Are the questions which concern our own people to be decided some day by the Sen- ators and Representatives in Congress from the Phiippine Islands? And if the Filipinos are not to become citizens, are we going to change our constitution so as to hold them in a perpetua: state of vas- salage? Can we expect anything but their haired so long as we rule them through carpet-bag governors?» “Tne Puerto R.co tariff bill gives us some idea of the treatment which the Filipino may expect, and Prof. Schurmann, one of the present commissioners, says that this bill will arouse suspicion in the mind of the Filipino as to his future condition.” The platform reaffirms, in whole and in rt, in letter and spirit, the Chicago piat- orm; favors an income tax, direct vote for Senators by the people, the princip.e of the initiative and re.erendum wherever It can be applied, \idDeral pensions for deserve ing veterans, ard .he Nicaraguan Canal.’ t oppuses government by injunction and blacki.st. and favors arbitration. It condemns the Dingley -tariff law as a trust-breediig and extortion invititg meas- ure, and welcomes the opportunity oftered to take the Government out of the hands of the Republican party, which “has aban- doned American ideals and American ideas, and, at the command of corporate wea.th has plotted against the financhal indepen- dence of the nat.on, menaced the industrial independence of the individual, and now contemplates the nullifica:.ion of the Decia- ration of Independerce.”’ It piedges the party to wage an unceas- ing wariare agiinst ail the trusis—money industrial and the internat.onal land-grad bing trust. It demands an American finan- cial system, ‘o be secured by the immed-ate restoration of the free and unlimiced coin- , age of gold and si:ver at the present legal | ratio of 16 to 1, without wa.ting for the aid or consent of other nations. It demands the retention of the gree:backs as they now exist and the retirement of the nation- a} bank notes as fast as greenbacks can be substituted for them. The nationa: Administration is condemned for its failure to enforce the present anti- | trust law or to recommend a more effective | one; affirms the belief that Congress shou'd supplement state efforts by iegisiaiion that will require every corporation, before en- gaging .n interstate commerce, to show that it has no water in its stock and that it has ne.ther attempted in the past nor Is attemp.ing ‘to monopolize any branch of bus ness or production, The platform declares that the Republican party is endangeri.g the preservation of republican .nstitutions by placitg the doi- lar ebove the man and vio ating princ.p.es it once deemed essential. The Porto Rico tariff bi!l is condemned as a bold and open violation of thé nation's organic law acd a flagrant breach of faith, adding: ; “We assert that the Constitution follows the flag .nd denounce that aoctrine that an ewecutive or a congress, created and limited by the Consti.ution, can exercise lawful authority beyond that Conetitution or in violation of it. “The Fi.ipinos cannot be citizens without endangering our civiiization; they cannot be subjects without endangering our to m of government, and as we are not wWi.i ng to surrender our civiization or to conve.t a republic into an empire, we favor an immediate declaration of the nation’s pur- pose to give to the Fil pinos, first, a stable form of government; second. independence, and third, protection from outside inter- ference, as it has for nearly a century given protection to the republics of Central and South America. “We favor the expansion for trade by ev- ery legitimate and pore means, but Wwe are opposed to purchasing trade at the can- non’s mouth wth human biood: neither do we believe that trade secured and hed by force is worth the price paid fo: it.

While the Family Was Packing It Oc- curred to Jenssen to Marry Her, and He Did. Without further preparations than those made in the limited time of two hours, Au- gust J. Jenssen, a wea.thy ret.red baker living at 2811 St. Louis avenue, and Miss Anna Johanson were married in Clayton Monday afternoon. The affair, though planned on the spur of the moment, was not an elopement, as the groom’s two daughters and a son were ‘present to witness the ceremony. Jenssen, with his son and his daughter, Miss Sadie, have had living in their home ‘with them for the past four years, a good friend in the person of Miss Johanson. She was and is a chum of Jenssen’s married daughter, Mrs. L. R. Kinichel of 4376 Gib- son avenue, and for a long time had been on the terms of the greatest intimacy with the! ‘whole family. Beyond th.s platonic rela- tionship, no serious attachment was sup- posed to have existed, even by the sharp- eyed Miss: Sadie, between Mr. Jenssen and ‘ his present wife. And, indeed, until very recently nothing did. The climax was brought about by a European trip, planned. by Mr. Jenssen for his daughter and him- self. For the last week the household has busied itself packing up and going through the usual preliminaries to an extended journey. Miss Johanson ass.sted materia.:(y in the work, and aiso got ready to move to another abode. This set Jenssen thinking. For several years he had been accustomed _to see the young woman daiiy, and had ‘acquired a regard for her wh.ch in its fu.l Stiength he himself oniy became acqua:nted with when he faced the prospect of los.ng her. So he thought it over some more, and Sunday night toid Miss Johanson the con- clusion he had reached. To his great satis- faction she agreed with him enftireiy, and the consummation was planned for Monday: In the morning Miss Sadie, who is 19 years o.d, and her younger brother were tuld, and both were delighted. Clayton was decided upon as the scene of action, more to add to the romance of the thing than for any other. reason, and on the way out the party stopped to call for Mr. and Mrs in-law, who accompanied the expedit.on. Justice Greensfelder performed the cere- mony, and Monday evening an informa] re- cept.on was held at Mrs. Kiniche.'s resi- dence on Gibson avenue. SHE HAS BECOME MRS.

According to her custom she did not appear at breakfast Sunday morning, but greeted her son-in-law cheerfully when he entered her room at noon and piaced fruit and coffee at her bedside. Mrs. Pettit was a habitual late riser and breakfast In bed was with her a matter of course.

a MURA, » A. a YS THE SIMPLER LIFE. Correspondents who discussed housekeéping on $40 a month will find some gvod suggestions in Mrs. Jessie Williams’ ar- ticle on the subject in the Sunday Post-Dispatch. ft is not so hard a task, according to Mrs. Williams, who speaks from personal experience. The young couple, it seems, can live in clover on $8 a week. With an income of $12, this leaves a good margin for life in- surance, clothes theaters, etc. All this seems pitifully meager, but [t is no doubt true that a simpler mode of life would not only be more economical but would be pogitively more wholesome in every way. Old philosophers used to counsel us “to live acording to nature.” Certainly a dittle less artificiality in wants and a stricter at- tention to the claims of nature would not be amiss. Aside from questions of economy the experiment is worth trying. rr The mud in St. Louis drinking water is all dirt for the Water Department. -—— -—_——__-#06e THEY ARE THINKING. The following tart comment from the Diario de Porto Rico of Feb. 22 shows that our new fellow-citizens are thinking thoughts: “Upto the present the flag which floats over Morro symbol- iges only the force of a conquering army imposing its rule. We desire to see enforced the liberal principles which Wash- ington maintained, but the mother country repulses us and re- fuses to extend to us the doctrine of which it made use to conquer the British armies.’’ If the tlag symbolizes nothing but the force of a conquering army. how has the condition of the Porto Ricans been im- proved by the American occupation? We are pursuing Span- ish policies. We have practically repudiated all our promises. How long before the islands will get up a rebellion like those which tormented Spain? Tyranny is tyranny. To the vic- tims it matters not whether the tyrant is an American Presi- dent or a Spanish King. —_—_—_—_—————_-2 oo If ths Boers still have 50,000 seasoned fighters, England has good rve2son to put on the shamrock, ++?

Almost every city in England is engaged in the production of electricity. Eut the smaller cities have outstripped London and the other large centers, because the private corporations had occupied the field in these Jatter, so that the opportunity for municipal enterprise was to some extent shut out. As might have been expected, under these conditions, the Cost to the public and to consumers is less in the smaller towns, owning and running their own plants, than in the metropolitan cities where the private concerns are the chief producers. Robert Donald, editor of the Municipal Journal, of London, says that 21 private companies, with a capital of 45,760,000, ~oduced last year 37,483,980 units of electricity at a cost of ? Fring topic. } 2.71 pence per unit, charging consumers 5% pence per unit. Compared with this, 21 municipalities, owning their own plants, With a capital of £3,500,000, produced 26,460,212 units of electricty, at a cost of 187 pence per unit, and charged con- sumers 442 perice per unit. So, both in the cost of production and cost to consumer, the advantage is largely with the municipal plants. It will not be wonderful if the municipal ownership of electrical plants becomes universal-in England. os ~~ —_ _— -_—_—— se —— Chatging a five-cent fare where only a three-cent fare is earned is “spoliation;’’ but perhaps that is not the way Fed- eral Judges look upon car fare.

Mr. Sumner was gifted with a prophetic soul, as the fol- lowing will show: “The friends of freedom can trust only in men of tried character and inflexible will. Three things at least they must require. The first is backbone; the second is backbone, and the third is backbone. When I see a person of upright character and pure soul yielding to a temporizing policy, I cannot but say*he wants backbone. When I see a person leaning upon the action of a political party and never venturing to think for himself I say he wants backbone. Let no such man be trusted.” Only by the spirit of prophecy could the Massachusetts Sen- ator so accurately describe the present occupant of the White House. Charles Summer paltered in a double sense. He thought for himself and acted upon his own judgment. This is true of every one of the old Republican leaders. Their wores are not pieasant reading to their invertebrate success- ors. never —_ The President has changed his mind again. He now wants Congress to Jet him manage the Porto Rican business.

Commenting on a recent momentous announcement by Queen Victoria, Mr. T. P. O'Connor, Irish member of Parlia- ment, Says: ‘ “As to the wearing of the shamrock it is a tribute to the Irish nationality which will be greatly appreciated. The sanction of the wearing of it by the Irish soldier is a con- cession.

De Mouret is to meet the King on the day following. CHAPTER III. My Encounter With Yvard. ROMPTLY at 10 next morning I pre- p sented myself at that famous doer which led to the room where Louis held his levee and was ushered immediately into the audience chamber of the King. The character and dress of those present reflected with a chameleon’s fidel'ty the change in His Majesty’s habits. Madame sat near the King, working upon a piece of tapestry which, when she wae interested in what went on, lay idle in her lap. Behind her chair stood the sour-visaged Jesuit cou- tessor, Letellier. I heard announced Grara Marsh Villars, the Duke of Savoy the brothers de Noailles, Villeroil, De Tourville, the Admiral; and Marshal Tallard. I confeea I was abashed at the sound of £0 many great names, and advanced in hesitating fashion, “Tut, tut, Capt. de Mouret,” the King said kindly. “Rise, we would hear some- what from you touching matters in our Province of Louisiana, and particularly of their safety in case of war-—say, with Spain.”’ He then asked a few questions about things familiar to me, which put me quite at ease. What I said I can scarce at this time recollect, but I know I spoke with all a soldier’s enthusiasm of my beloved commander, of his diplomacy in peace, of his war-won successes. It did not pass unnoticed that many a venomous glance was ehot towards ms from that little group behind the King, but in the King’s presence I feared nothing, and spoke on, unrestrained. ‘Thou art a bold lad,” observed the King. “Aye, Sire, truth need have no fear from the greatest of all the Bourbons. Blenville is a soldier, not a courtier, and stung be- yond endurance by the threat of his ene- miea that they would yet begutle Your Maj- esty to sell your fair Province of Louisiana, and turn the royal barracks into a ped- dler’s shop—mayhap he did use hot and thoughtless expressions. These, some spy may have overheard and forwarded here to his hurt.’ I told ‘him of the contemplated Indian at- tack in the epring, of my own haste to re- turn, ‘Then, by my faith,” he broke in, ‘“‘you need a bold, ambitious soldier for your Gov- ernor. What think you, Villars, Chamil- lard—gentlemen?”’ None dared oppose the King. “I overheard you, Captain, in the gar- dens yesterday, and think the master who has taught you such sentiments is a man the King of France can trust. Convey to the trusty and well beloved Governor of our Province of Louisiana our renewed con- fidence, with our assurance he is not to be disturbed. We make you our royal messen- ger for the purpose.”’ Then he gravely inclined his head to sig- nify the interview was done. As soon as I decently could I left the royal presence and repaired at once to Se- rigny. He grasped my hand in both his own and asked: ‘We have won? Tell me, how was it?’ “Aye, sir, and nobly. I have the King’s own warrant that our Governor is not to be disturbed.”’ Every shade of anxiety vanished, and he laughed as unaffectedly as a girl. ‘Well, Captain,’’ he said, “if thou hast done thy conferences with the King, we will talk of your next adventure. We have a fine lad at Paris in our service, and with him four as stanch fellows as ever dodged a halter. De Greville—Jerome de Greville— has his lodgings in Rue St. Denis, at the sign of the Austrian Armes, The host is a surly churl who will give you little infor- mation until he knows you well. Then you may rely upon him. Jerome has been watching our quarry these many weeks; we hold him in easy reach, as a bait to catch his accomplice. Then we will put them both where they can spy upon wus no longer. I desire them to be taken alive if possible, and by all the gods, they shall hang.’’ Verily, this was a pleasant adventure for me to contemplate, taking alive such a desperado, Who handled hig sword like a hell-born imp. “I would not expose you to this,” con- tinued Serigny, ‘““but for the stern necessity that thoge papers should reach m@ un- opened. They are to be delivered to you, and I hold you responsible. You under- stand?’’ “And when shall I set out for Paris?” J] asked, “To-day. We cannot act too promptly.” And eo it came about that I left within the hour. It was well Into the night when the first dim lights of Paris came into view, and perhaps some two good hours afterwards before we drew up in front of the “Austrian Arms."’ The host well deserved Serigny’s appellation of a churl, for he looked sus- piciously at me, and when I asked for De Greville replied he knew nothing of him. I waited several hours and De Greville not coming in, I grew restive and concluded I! would stroll aboug;the city. Claude, for eo the landlord styled himself, directed me to the principal thoroughfare, and I thought by walking straight along one street I could easily return. But walking idiy on, I came to a locality entirely strange, and I had lost sight of the great tower which I thought would guide me home. There stood at a corner, looking timidly this way and that, a slight girl, with blonde hair and eyes of Breton blue. At the moment I got opposite her, it seems she had misjudged the width of the pavement, and one foot slipped ae if she would fall into the muddy street. I passed my arm quickly about her, and raised her to a place of safety, but even then could bring no word of courtly elegance to my aseistance. She thanked me prettily and daintily, and as I pursued my course, I could but turn and give yet another glance in her direc- tion. She caught my eye, and again look- ing each way, bent her steps down a byway leading off to the left, which we were that instant nearest. There was that in her manner, | could not say exactly what, which led me to follow her at @ respectful distance, seeing which she turned her head, and I fancied I could observe a thankful little smile playing about her lipé. Busied with fancies and romantie thoughts, I lost count of streets and pase sages, until I realized I was hopelessly lost, With my fair guide in front and my good eword by my side, lightly I recked of streets or houses. Yet I dared not forget I was on an errand for the Governor and must not expose myself to bootless peril, At last she stopped before a great oaken lromstudded gate, possibly of five good paces width, in one corner of which was ; cut @ smaller door so low a man must Stoop to pass. Upon this smaller door she rapped and stood in the attitude of waiting, A trifling space thereafter the smaller | | door was opened. The lady looked first to me, then stepped inside and stood back as if she bade me enter. This was an aventure I had not bargained for, and I moved forward a pace or twe so I could see within the door. The concierge held the door ajar, and @ ' more repulsive, deformed wretch I never laid eyes upon, A smoky oll-lamp sputtered in the rear, sufficiently distinct to diselése the paved court-yard. That door once locked upon thé intruder there would be no easy egress. Instinctively I held back. “Monsieur is afraid?” she inquired, thea tossed back her head, and laughed such @ low, disdainful, mean laugh, as fired my every nerve to hear. I hesitated no longer. Holding my blade at easy command, f stepped inside. Immediately the door closed, and the rasping of the key told me it was securely locked aa before. We crossed the yard diagonally, and as the girl was about to enter a door leading inside the duilding, a man came down the inner stairs and passed out, coming in our direction, A rather low, dark fellow, dressed In the height of the fashion, yet somewhat flashi- ly withal; not too foppish, he was evidently a young gallant of the better class. He staggered somewhat from wine, and carried © a magnificent breadth of shoulder, denete ing considerable strength. By this time, the lady had got rather within the range of the Nght; the mag came straight at her, and, to my amase- ment, despite her struggles, seized ang kisse dl her. I was upon him ir an instant. Another, and he had resied back against the wall, drawing his weapon as he fell. He recov- ered his feet, my blade met his, yet each paused, well knowing the deadly lottery of such a duel in the dark, ‘he lady ran up as nearly between us as she dared, and besought: “Oh, Messires, Messires,” she plucked me by the sleeve, “do’not fight; there is no need of it.’’ 1 had the light full in my face, and he was not slow to see the annoyance it caused me. I knew I could not maintain such a fight for long, so I pressed him sternly and the bright sparks flew. Back- wards, step by step, he retreated, until he had almwst reached the door out of which he came. Still back, ever pressing him desperately back, the fight went, and he stood again inside the door, at the very foot of the stair. Now every advantage was mine, for he was well within the giow of the lamp, every movement distinetly visible, while I vet stood in darkness. “For the sake of mercy, my lord, come quick.”” It was the girl's soice at the head of the stalrsa;” there they are. They will desist if you command it.” And I heard the heavy tread of two men coming down the stairs, a lighter step behind them. My fcot touched something which lay in the dense shadow of the doorstep. It felt soft, a package of some kind. Then I remem- ber seeing something fall from the cloak fof my adversary forgotten In the heat of the fray. 1 placed my foot upon It, “What quarrel is this, gentlemen? Put by your swords?” “*] did but kiss the wench, and this fele low set upon me in the dark,”’ “Aye, my lord,” I replied stoutly, ace cording to the stranger the respect he seemed to command. “A wanton ineult to this lady whom I met unprotected in the streets, and saw her safely to her gate Who she is, or what, I know not.” ‘This lady,’ the tall man continued, ig & sarcastic tone, “permit me to prosent you to Mademoiselle Florine, waitress and decoy pigeon for Betrand’s winer where gentlemen sometimes play at dice. “That ts true, Mademciselie?’ I asked, She nodded. “Then, gocd sirs, such a matter.” “And by my soul, comrade, right glad { am to hear you say it, for you fight like a very devil of hell, and Carne Yvaré knows a swordsman.” Carne Yvard! The very fellow I ha@ been sent out to find. My foot resting upon the package whick had been dropped, sent my mind a wane dering again. Could it be that this was a paper of importance, or possibly the very one I desired?

This was easily accomplished wheg Yvard had turned his back. We climbed the stair, and after some #@ or & paces, stood inside the room of which Serigny had spoken to me. The gaming tables were ranged about in the center of the room, and about them sat many men-< and women, too—at play. The four of us walked over to a table well out of view and sat down to wine. We taiked indif- ferent gosa.p, and after awhile the Span- ish troubles were mentioned; I think tne tali man first spoke of it. Somehow [ felt Yvard’s carelessness to be assumed, and that he very much deshed to hear what these two gentlemen would say on @ matter so important. After a bk they arose 4c leave, and I was sorely perplexed wheth- er it were betier that I depart with them, now that papers which might be valuabie rested safely against my breast, or had I better stay and endeavor to leam more from Yvard, who was beginning to drink heavily. The adventure was too enticing, and I bade the gentiemen good night, and remained sitting at table with Yvard.

That will be the next the early spring campaign run on April 15. The distance will eighth, a furlong shorter cent City Derby route. For this race there In this lot there not a and only two fillies, The latter chestnut filly, by lorester, dam Messalia, and Winyah, by Hanover, dam Keepsake. To-day it looks as though the starters in the Memphis Derby would be Sam Phil- lips and F. W. Brode (Schorr’s entry), The Conqueror, Thrive, Parmenion, Lamplhght- ed, Admiral Schley, Flaunt, Dramburg and Macabee, each to carry 122 pounds. Jockey Dick Clawson, ‘‘the Berry Picker’ | who rode Sidney Lucas last Saturday in the Crescent City LVerby, says that it was the owner's instructions that beat that horse. Talking about the race after it was all over, Clawson said: ‘If both can’t get to the front let the one which can go out and make the pace and the other will come up at the end and they will finish one-two.’ That was what was handed me. 1] begged Mr. Thompson not to require me to take Sidney Lucas right to the front, but to let me use my own judg- | ment, but he insisted. I be:.eve bobby then instructed Mc Joynt to lay away with Prince of Veronia, iet Sidney Lucas make the run- ning and then come on at the end. Mr. Thompson further directed me to keep well out on the track to the (tUhree-cignins po.e and then cut over the inside rail. He told me that the track had been scraped on the inside from the three-eighths pole home and that I would find good going in there. 1 have not ridden more than haif a dozen big’! races exactly to orders and yesterday's was one of them. |! never do again.

On Loe Reds arrived in New Urieans Mc- but said outright thag he woud be in the game this year. He feared his throwing arm would bother him and chat the work of training Was a greater ordeal than he cared to pass through again. However, he was willing to make a final effort to give the club some service, and it was not until this effort proved a futile one that he informed Manager Allen of his in- tention to retire from the game. The announcement Was a serious blow to Baltimore | Allen, wha had been hoping against hope that MePhee would be With the team. He e desired McPhee to reserve his decision for a time longer. but this Mac refused to do, as he knew it would only embarrass Allen and place himself in the posiiion, perhaps— in bie own estimation—of a man drawing salary by false pretenses. In the retirement of McPhee one of the grandest figures of baseball deserts § the «reen diamond. He had played with the Reds for 18 vears and during all that time had been a credit to his club and an honor ‘o the game. He will be missed by the patrons of gt ame and the baliplayers in every city in ich he was known, and no- where more satan in Cineinnatl, where every man was his friend and he was rightfully looked upan as the greatest second baseman the game ever has known, The retirement of McPhee makes it quite certain that Steinfeldt will be seen at second base for tite Reds in the opening game.

The occasion was the annouficement that the Metropoiitan Street Railway had olitained control of Third Ave- nue. This was appalling news to many 6pecvilators who, counting upon an indefi- “ite'decliné in Third Avenue shares, soid it hort with such reckleas disregard of the £ymptoms for several days that the floating supply of the stock was being diminished and a corner being formed. The news that Metropolitan Street Railway had acquired this stock and the improved status given to -he property caused a wild scene at the rhird Avenue post at the cpening, which was “wide.’’ Simultaneous sales were made all the way from 9 to 109, comapersd with % at yesterday's close and 6642 earlier yes- erday. Métropolitan Street asway SO. from 164% to 167 In the first few m.nutes, em.pared with 166% last night. Prices of the two stocks quickly ran off, Third Ave- ue reacting 7 points and the feverish tone of the trading prompted general protit taking. But all of the New York ‘City stocks, which have been sold short by the bears on belief that the franchise tax law would bear heavily upon them, svon reflect- ed the serious state of mind of the shorts. Brookiyn Transit rose nearly 8 points and jumped from 69% to 72 on a single saie—a very unusual variation even for panic con- ditions. The other New York stocks, Sugar, People’s Gas and Tobacco refiected the Same demoralized state of mind on the part of tne shorts.

Metropolitan Acquired the Controlling Interest in the Stock. NEW YORK, March ®.—There was rea- eon for the boom in Third Avenue stock in Wall street late yesterday evening. The Metropolitan Street Railroad Co. has ac- juired a controlling interest in the stock and all of its Suburban lines, and now con- i(rols every foot of surface fai.road on the island of Manhattan and in the annexed district. The announcement of these tacts was made by H. H. Vree.and, president of the Metropouitan Street Ratiroad, last even- ing. The business of the receiver of the Third Avenue Ratlroad will be wound up as soon as possible, and the Third avenue system will be turned over to its hew owners The properties included in the Third ave nue system are the Only ones ever acquired by the Metropolitan Street Railroad in any | In way other than by direct purchase from the | $j.75 persons controlling the stock of the proper- EQUALIZATION BOARD MEETS.

They steadied somewhat on a fair demand and reports of some good export Sales yesterday, but later fell rapidiy. Early slunips were hard to overcome and though the bulls ham mered prices for all they were worth, the Dent they could do in stemming the tide was to prevent rapid changes and minimize the fluctuations. Jorn Was Daturally firm, but the decided weakness in wheat made it impossible for that grain to long hold the position it bad at the opening of the ses- Sion.

We desire to impress the fact that the ready-to-wear garments we sell are tailored by skilled custom tailors, and are'far superior to the ordinary ready-made or made-to-order clothing. The workmanship is perfect, and they possess all the individuality characteristic of swell custom garments—being graceful, absolutely perfect-fitting and faultlessly trimmed, while our prices are from one-third to one-half the cost charged by the very best custom tailors. We recommend an early inspection while the assortment is complete, and shall take pleasure to show you our magnificent lines of correct wearing. apparel. Weiner.

A lovely snhepherdess hat was of pink rough straw braids, sewed to- gether by band, the brim lined with folded pink chiffon and trimmed with large pink roses and icaves. The shape of this hat is most fetching, going up oi one side and down on the other, showing: on the rolled side a large black veivet bow. ‘This was from Caroline Rebeaux, Paris. A very handsome creation from the Maison d'Oriv, Paris, was of black chiffon, edged with: tiny velvet ribbon. This is made entirely on wire, the velvet edges torm rows, folds and rosettes. In the back the brim was caught up with bows of velvet ribbon and a large bunch of dark red and pale pink roses. A str.king iarge turban, made by Madame @Orly of Paris, con- sisted of fancy black straw, trimmed in a searf of moline, heavily embroidered in sequins color de lune. In front is a twist of black molime and from this emerges a shiny green serpent with eyes of brilliants and an aigrette of delicate bird of paradise feathers.

LANGTRY AT THE CENTURY, Degenerate indeed must be that part of the stage for which Sydney Grundy caters, and on which Mrs. Langtry plays. The thin drama presented at the Century Jast night by the Englishwoman whose form and complexion won her the name of “Jer- sey Lily,”’ is a French farce, without wit, grafted on a “society drama: The star is the same incomparable cloak model, whose hard, metallic, unsympathetic voice belongs to the character of a be- dizened woman. Her clothes are of splen- did fabric. designed by genius and borne with queenly port; her jewels are marvel- ous in number, brilliance and cost. The resources of the modiste and jeweler were exhausted when Mrs. Langtry considered her wardrobe complete. The audience last night was large enough | to almost fill the theater. Here and there were vacant chairs on the first floor and more seats in the balconies were unoccu- pied. The audience was pleasant to see, for there was not a young girl there. A story which men may enjoy harmlessly and for its wit, forgetting what grossness may accompany ft, is spoiled for the same mén if a woman be present; then the grossness looms to proportions that dwarf or bury the wit. There are experiences that may be told | | known one side of her, for she ts just as in the presence of settled men and matrons which would not be meet for the ears of children. The ‘‘Degenerates”’ {s not for the imma- ture; adults who have cultivated the im- passive face, who can ignore what is re- pellant and absorb what they may find that is pleasing, are the only auditors who should be found in the theater during the present engagement. If it were Mrs. Kendal who presented this play we, who love her, might he sad to think of ‘ther mistaken judgment, ‘but none would doubt that she saw artistic purpose in the play. With Mrs. Langtry the case is different; we fear that ‘“The Degenerates’’ is not a play but a biography, and distress, like that which fills us when our friends trot out their family skeletons, destroys all possible pleasure in the scenes. Nothing is left to imagination. thing is told. The wanton exposes Pvery- her shame with the nonchalance of a schoolboy | telling of truancy. The glamor of success is over vice and, only toward the end, a faint, nebulous grace is granted virtue. The company 7s adequate, but would be hopelessly inefficient with a stronger star and in a better play. JON E. GORSE. A'part from the interest that attached to a really remarkable production, the Castle Square Opera Company and its friends last night celebrated an event that fills up a big page of St. Louls musical history. It was the one hundred and fiftieth consecutive performance of opera in this city and in that respect it demonstrated the artistic atmosphere that is hereabouts, albeit oc- | casionally soot-laden. , De «Triville, Delamotta, Mertens and the rest of the capable cast that was assigned to the week's bill—Verdi’s tragic composi- tion, “‘Rigoletto’’—were in excellent voice and in entire sympathy with their parts, and a rendition was given that in every re- spect is up to the high standard adopted and maintained by the Castle Square man- agement. “Rigoletto” is one of Verdi's earlier com- positions and in it are realized besides a consistant treatment of a wierdly§ tragic theme an agreeable emotional expression in its lyrics and ecore. The story is not an unfamiliar one, either, @s an operatic pro- duction or in its dramatic form under which it was known as ‘“‘The Fool's Re- venge,”"’ and wae conspicuous as one of the late Edwin Booth’s creation. As an opera it was largely used a couple of decades ago to bring Brignoli the recognition that the great barytone’s musical merit eventually won for him. “Rigoletto” has not been heard in S8&t. Louis for many years and in epite of the heavy counter attractions there was a splendid firet-night turn-out of music lovers who enjoyed the tuneful work and its iInter- pretation. The cast required is «mal! in respect to principals. De Treville, ae Gilda; Delamotta, as the Duke of Mantua and William Mertens, as Rigoletto, were par- ticularly effective and happily cast. Against Secular Sermons.—At the Presbyterian ministers’ meeting Monday Rev. J. Cannon made a spirited argumen against preaching ‘“‘Washingion's Birthday’’ or, other secular sermons on Sunday, say- | igs this was distinctly God's day. i , a i when she IND MRS. FISKE AT THE GRAND. Curiosity and Mrs. Fiske drew most of the regular first-nighters, all the managers who could leave their own theaters and a whole lot of other people to the Grand Opera House last night. It was curiosity that drew the first-nighters and the man- agers. Mrs. Fiske did the rest. The curiosity was to see what sort of a play Langdon Mitchell had made out of Thackeray's novel and what sort of a char- acter Mrs. Fiske would make out of Becky Sharp. They discovered that the playwright had created a comedy—a dainty, subtle comedy Mrs. Fiske calls it—and they saw Mrs. Fiske successfully portray a char- acter which they had never dreamed her j}capable of. Her success was therefore a disappoint- ment. ‘How did you like it?’’ was the frequent query of one first-nighter of the other as they passed out after the play. “First rate; but Il-didn’t like as I did in Tess.”’ Herein lay the disappointment. They were judging her comedy work by her work in one of the most intensely emotional parts ever written. Not a falr judgment, you will say, but it was passed, nevertheless. When Mrs. Fiske made her first appear- ance last evening her friends hardly knew her, so plump has she become. As the play rogressed they found out that they didn't eae her at all—at least they had only het as well fetching in comedy as she {is in emotional parts. From the time she explains to her husband of but an hour how in her girlhood she had stood off the bills of the butcher, the baker and the candle-stick maker, un- til she finally leaves her shabby quariters at Pumpernickle with her most respectable brother-in-law, she is the Becky Sharp not only of Langdon Mitchell's play, but of Thackeray; she is ever the brilliant, co- quettish, unscrupulous adventuress who in- itiated her husband and the world into the mysteries of ‘“‘how to live well on nothing ear.”’ here is another side to the character, but it only makes Its appearanre once—that has overstepped the bounds by admitting the Marquis of Steyne to a mid- night interview and is caught by her hus- mand, who—blind fool that Thackeray made him—fifes into a rage and leaves her for do- ing what he ought to have known she would do when he began to depend upon her to take care of his debts and keep up appear- ances. But even in this most trying scene, which might easily lapse into a questionable one in weaker hands, the proprieties are not for a moment overstepped and the play as a whole doesn’t leave a bad taste in your mouth after indulging itn It. There is a svectacular feature In the pro- duction of “‘Becky Sharp’’ which adds to the effectiveness of the presentation. It is the ballroom scene which shows the grand hall in the Duchess of Richmond's mansion on the night before the battle of Waterloo. No more elaborate stage effect has ever been seen in St. Louis. It is simply wonderful as showing the height to which stage craft and decoration has at- tained.

In the hall are seen at times as many as fifty persons, and yet they do not seem to fill the stage, so vast is the arrangement. The entire effect, with the brilliant military and diplomatic uniforms, the elaborate gowns, the hum of conversation and the rushing hither and thither of military aides, is a stage picture long to be remembered. Mrs. Fiske has surrounded herself with a capable company. At its head is Maurice Barrymore, and his work last evening was on a par with that of Mrs; Fiske. He was the typical English military swell and — husband. The others took their parts well. Mrs. Fiske’s engagement is for the week with a Saturday matinee. The Olympic has for the week’s attrac- tion another piece of the Grundy work- manship—‘‘The Musketeers,” an adaptation from Dumas’ great romance of that name, with James O'Neill as the dashing and de- lightful D’Artagnan. In costuming, setting and arrangement, the plan of the original production in which Mr. O’Neill appeared for the first time in St. Louis last season has been followed closely. The O'Neill D’Artagnan, while lacking something of the youthfulness with which Dumas endowed it, improves with age and is an altogether agreeable creation. What the audience loses in amusement flowing from the ewashbuckler hero's boyish folly as por- trayed by other versions, it gains tn the wit, ingenuity and manliness with which a has characterized his maturer TO, The cast has suffered few important changes since last season. But a notable one is Miss Maude Odell as the successor of Blanche Bates as Miladi. ‘She gives a most satisfactory interpretation of the re- vengeful and ambitious woman. “The Musketeers’? will be played until Saturday night when ‘“*The Count of Monte Christo,’’ Mr. O'Neill's trademark, will be presented for the benefit of Treasurer Bud Mantz.

Assembly and Governor Likely to Come in for Condemnation at the Next State Convention. There is a movement on foot which has for its object the repudiation by the next Democratic State Convention of the pass- age and signing by a Democratic Legisla- ture and Governor of the street railway consolidation bill. Leaders of the party say they realize that the enactment of this law put the party in & hole from which it can extricate itself only by a public repudiation of the acts of the Legislature and the Governor. The Democratic party in Missourl has always prided itself upon its anti-trust record, and at the last legislative session a number of far-reaching anti-trust laws were enacted, At the same time the street railway bill, which permitted the formation of a street Eeee trust in St. Louis, was enacted into aw. A tag tant ye Governor, who had talked & great deal about his opposition to trusts signed the Dill. . The passage and signing of the law created a feeling of resentment not only in the city of St. Louis, but also in the State. In fact the feeling is more bitter in many sections of the State than in the city. The Republican leaders have seized upon the Inconsistency of the Democrats and are making campaign material out of it, notwithstanding that more Republicans than Democrats voted for the biil. The recent danger of a strike of street railway employes has accentuated this feeling and has served to call attention to the law. The Democrats fear that the record of the Legislature and the Governor will iIn- jure the chances of their candidates in the next campaign. Already a Senator and a Representative who voted for the bill have been defeated for nominations they sought. For these reasons it would surprise no one if, when the Democratic Convention comes to consider its platform, a resolu- tion should be offered, repudiating the acts of the Legislature and the Governor on the bdills, Such a resolution would declate that the law was contrary to the spirit of the Democratic party and that the Legis- lature which passed ft, and the Governor who signed it did so upon their own re- sponsibility and without the approval of the party.
