She routed him from his stronghold with woman’s weapon, a broom, and swept him out of tne house in utter defeat, to scurry through the yard and col- lide with clothes lines and wash tubs. And all of this occurred within a stone's throw of the Soulard Street Police Station; so close was the scene of the burglar’s de- feat that. had a vigilant policeman half tried, he might have seen from the station house windows the room in which the burg- lar was-found.

FRANKFORT, Ky., March 24.—The pros- of com- intro- duced F. Wharton Golden of Knox County, an in- timate friend of Secretary Powers, and who is said to have madea confession implicat- ing a number of people in the murder. At torneys for the Commonwealth say tnat Golden's testimony is practically the cap- stone of the whole structure of evidence, and expect to prove by his testtmony, not only that a conspiracy existed, but also who were implicated in it. The courtroom was jammed long before the hour set for the examination, and when finally the doors were closed a large crowd remained outside. Secretary of State Powers was the only one of the defendants brought into court this morning, .Capt. Davis and Culton re- maining in jail. Golden was the first wit- ness. He had known Secretary Powers for about 18 years and knew Mr, Culton, He was also acquainted with Gov. Taylor and Capt. John Powers. He said he was a friend to all of the defendants. He was in Frankfort in January and February and saw John Powers nearly every day. He was in Frankfort on Jan. 4 and went to Harian County on the. 18th, then went to Laurel County for two or three days, from there returning to Frankfort. “Where then did you go—to Barbours- ville?’ asked Attorney Campbell. After hesitating the witness sald: “IT won't answer that.”’ “When did you have a conversation with Secretary Powers?” ‘When Mr. Powers and I left here to- gether. Mr. Powers told me to go to Har- lan County and tel] Postmaster John Hirst to send down 10 witnesses in the contest case. He wanted regular mountain feud- ists, men who would stand up and, if nec- essary, go into that legislative hall and kill off enough to make it in our favor. “T did not see Mr. Hirst. I saw Hamp Howard. I told him we wanted 10 regular mountain feadists for witnesses. We wanted men who had good Colts, 4s.”’ “Were the Colts 4s to be put dence?’ asked Attorney Campbell. ‘Most assuredly they were,’ answered Golden. In reply to a question, Golden said he did not know the witnesses who came to Frank- fart. He delivered the message to Howard ecution in the case against Secretary State Caleb Powers, charged with plicity im the Goebel assassination, its principal witness to-day, in evi- | F, GOLDEN. — on Sunday, a few days before the shooting of Goebel. “When did you next see Caleb Powers?” “IT saw him Tuesday. I got on the train at Ferris Station, Laurel County. He had a couple of men on the train named Pease and Locka. He tald me to take care of them. I next saw Powers'‘in Frankfort., I don't remember what conversation we had then.”’ “Who selected the men who came, from Harlan County?’ “Hamp Howard. He selected 30 men’ be- sides the 10. Caleb Powers, I think, selected the men from Knox County. There were about 70 or 8). Jim Sparks, County Attor- ney in Laurel County, selected the men from Laurel County.” , “When was it determined to bring the men to Frankfort?’ “I don’t know.” The witness stated that at London Pow- ers said he wanted a regular army of moun- taineers to come ta Frankfort. In answer to further questions, Golden said that Powers gave him $19 to give to Judge Bingham in Bell County. “I gave some of it toa Bingham to send 10 men down to Frankfort,” said Golden. Witness also said that he gave Howard $73.80 for 10 tickets to Frankfort and return. He knew some of the men from Bell Coun- ty; most of the men Were mountain feud- ists. ni all about 120 or 1500 men wre brought to Frankfort. They were fed back of the State House. Capt. L.

Finley, Taylor and Powers dec-ded to send beck all except ten or fifteen fren each county. I selected 13 armed men to be kept from Knox County. Deputy Marshal George Thompson selected the men from Laurel County. About 176 men from the mountains, brought to Frankfort, remained to see that we got justice.” “Did you have any further conversation w'th Powers regarding the work to be done by the men remaining here?” “No, sir. We understood what they were kept here for. We Knew that those men were here to go into that legislative hall, and, if nevessary, clean out enough Demo- crats to make a majority on our side.” The answer created a stir in the courte room. During a lengthy argument over a teche nieal point, Golden became ill and court was adjourned to 1:3 o'clock.

DANBURY, €Conn., March #.—When Mrs Charles Lee died yesterday it was in peace- ful resignation and with the conviction that her father’s spirit was bearing her away. She had been awaiting five days for his conving—ever since she saw the ghostly vis- itor bear away her mother in 4 strangé vision. That it was not the malady fram which she had been suffering that cause Mrs. Lee's death, there ts the testimony oa the doctors.

Va.. March %4.—The .troops which have been guarding the negro Cotton, murderer of Justice of hte Peace Saunders and Mr. Welton at Skippers Thursday were removed early to-day and the mob which had threatened the prisoner from the time he was placed in jail speedily organized, took him from jail and hanged him in the Courthouse yard at noon. His body was then riddled with bullets. An attempt to lynch a white tramp at the same time failed. The negro is said to have confessed before he was lynched that he had killed twenly- five persons. Cotton's last crime, and the one which infuriated the mob was the killing of two officers of Greenville County, who attempt- ed to arrest him for murdering a prominent citizen of Portsmouth, a year ago. At that time he was sentenced to be hanged. The death watch was piaced upon him, but one night while his guard slept he escaped and no trace was found of hien until his arrest, charged with two additional murders. The officers did not know that Cotton was the man who had escaped from Ports- mouth, but went to arrest him, in a little hut where he had taken up his abode not far from Emporia, on suspicion of having been implicated in a burglary in that place the previous night. As the officers entered the door, Cotton opened fire. One fell with a bullet through his brain, and the other staggered from the hut, dying soon after- wards. The negro escaped, but soon a posse, with bloodhounds, was on his trail. Early yesterday morning, the negro was captured and taken to Emporia, the streets of which were filled with a crowd from ALL DIFFERENCES WITH MR. far and near.

Mr. The death of Mr. Maffitt Friday after- noon was a great shock to his hundreds of friends. Knowing that he had been at his office in the Security Building early in the week, and knowing also that he was a man of fine physique, they could not at first credit the reports of his death. Mr. Maffitt’s death had come after an iliness of only four days. When he dined at the Noonday Club with a party of _friends Monday night, he was apparently in the best of health, with the exception of @ slight cold. Tuesday morning, however, he found himself suffering from a cold which he thought severe enough to cause him to remain at home. Wednesday he became worse and physicians were called in. His ailment rapidly developed into gerip-pneumonia. Friday morning he De- came unconscious and heart failure set in. During the morning he was conscious for brief periods and recognized those about him, but_early in the afternoon he again lapsed into unconsciousness and passed away at 4 o’clock. Mr. Maffitt was born in St. Louis Feb. 17, 182. His father, Dr. William Maffitt, was a son of a distinguished Virginia fam- liy, who came to St. Louis as a surgeon in the army. Mr. Maffitt's mother was Miss Julia Chouteau, an heiress and great beauly her day and a great-granddaughter of Laclede, who founded the village Louis in 1744. Mr. Maffitt’s father 1864 and his mother in 1897. For over 25 years past, however, Mr. Maffitt has had almost the entire management of his mother’s estate, which is estimated to be worth %,000,000. Mr. Maffitt was educated at Seton Hall College, Orange, N. J., and at Washington University, this city, and entered upon a business career at an early age. He went into the Chouteau-Harrison-Valle Iron Co.,, of which he afterwards roce to be president, Probably no man in St. Louis bad as ex- tensive anc diversified business interests, Besides being president of the tron com- pany, he was president of the Iron Moun- tain Mining Co., a director in the State Bank and in the Bell Telephone Co. He had investments in almost every big enter- prise that has been inaugurated in this city for the last quarter of a century. He Was regarded as a shrewd and capable business man and was always associated in his enterprises with the richest and most influential men in St. Louis. (‘haries C,. Maffitt was a bachelor, but a man of many attractive personal] traits. He was a member of the St. Louis Noonday, Commercial and Kinloch Clubs and the Si. Louis Jockey Club. For years he was pres'- dent of the St. Louis Fair Association. He was at one time president of the Un'on Stockyards €o. He also owned a private racing stable.

HAWES’ ADDRESS TO CITY SALOON PROPRIETORS. THE CRUSADE TO BE OPPOSED. Saloon Men Who Want Music and Winerooms Organize to Fight the Reform Element. At a joint meeting of saloon keepers and anti-~wineroom crusaders at the office of the Board of Election Commissioners, Friday afternoon, President Harry B: Hawes made the following address: Gentlemen—You have been called together to- day to appear before the Police Board and the Excise Commissioner. The press of this city, ir- respective of politics, is making a crusade against what are commonly known as winerooms. And, in addition to the crusade of the preas, all of the ehurches in the city—the ministers—have taken up this matter in conjunction with various religious societies; and the big merchants of the city—the banks, the bankers and the whole- sale men--have raised sums of money with which to earry on the work of a society known as the Anti-Wineroom Crusade Association. The Anti-Wineroom Crusade Association sent to this board and to the Excise Commissioner a list of names, 91 in all, of saloons which they claimed have winerooms operating in con junction with their regular establishments. Now, a wineroom is not necessarily a place part! tioned off into stalls or private apartments, «l- though these things are positively prohibited by the Excise Commissioner, but the complaint is made that these saloons are made the Tresorts of immoral women, and that young girls and boss frequent your places, and in that way begin a life of erime. The gentlemen in this morement have assured me that it is not a prohibition movement. I know a number of them, and I know them to be men of broad-gauged minds and liberal spirits. Sceme of those engaged in this crusade, so-called, are more aggressive and want prohibition, bunt the heads of this movement make this demand: That immoral women must be kept out of your sa- loons; that music played in a saloon is a viola- tion of the Newberry law, and you know that a@ conviction for a violation of that law deprives a man of his license and the right to engage in the saloon business for two years after such conviction. This is not a@ movement to injure the saloon men, but it is a movement directed against a certain form of vice which has become _re- pugnant to our citizens. You gentlemen must obey the instructions of the Police Department and the Excise Commissioner in two respects; and by obeying their instructions in these two respects, Whenever your saloons are in odium, you will te allowed to conduct your business in a peaceful manner and unmolested. The demands that the press of this city makes up- on you, that this crusade assoclation makes upon you, we make upon you, is this: That you shall in the future not permit or allow immoral women to frequent or visit your saloons, aud that thieves and criminal characters sball not be al- lowed to resort there. It is unnecessary for me to state to men of your intelligence that unless “these orders are complied with the law will be invoked. Not only will the law be tised to revoke your licenses, but your .disobedience will start a movement m this city which no power can stop, and which will be directed against the vital interests of the liquor trade. It will not stop at these few demands, bot it will go further. ask you as good citizens, these demands coming from the lawful author- ities of this city; and, second, to consider your own interests, which should dictate a policy of yielding to these requests, so that you may be protected finally in the business in which you are engaged. Geutlemen, this Is all I have to say. I want, however, to say in behalf of the element engaged in this movement that they are not tendin toward a prohibition movement. If they were, would not be here today, because I am not 4a prohibitionist, and I believe that the retail Iftuor dealer who pays his license and contributes to the support of the State and city should in return for that payment be accomied the full pro tection of this department, which always protects the saloon keeper in the just exercise of his rights. ; Immoral women must be kept out of your places; well-known criminals must be kept away; liquor must not be sold to minors and young girls, and music must be stopped. These requests are not great. Ther will not likely affect your business, end I edvise you ty stop these practices complained of and not force the Excise Commissioner, the warrant office, the Police Oommissioners and the ‘Anti-Wineroom As- sociation to find their recourse in the law. The 91 saloon keepers ordered to appear before the board were all present, as were also Rev. J. W. McKittrick, Dean Davis. Canon Smith, Dr. C. H. Batton, Rev. J. W Cunningham and E. A. P. Haynes, all of the Crusaders’ Executive Committee. first, to consider Fifty saloon keepers who had attended the board meeting met Friday night over Carle- ton’s Theater at Sixth and Elm streets for the purpose of organizing to oppose the erusaders. A collection amounting to sev- eral hundred dollars was taken up and a committee consisting of Rabert E. Carleton, Len Swinck, T. E. Tobin, Curley Keyes and Patrick Manley was appointed to arrange for a permanent organization. Speeches were made advocating active opposition to the crusaders and it was derided that if proceedings were taken against those pres- ent tlhgy should band together and de- mand che enforcement of the Newberry Sunday closing law.

They Desire to Remain Active in State. a ee Politics. The following letter was made public Sat- urday morning: ST. LOUIS, March 23, 1900. To the Railroad Employes of Missouri: Fx-Gov. | William J. Stone has several times recently, in sub- stance, made the statement in the St. Louls news- papers that railroad employes ought not to be per- mitted to take part In political conventions of to tion. This is an insult, not only to organized labor, to every individual who earns his bread in the railroad service. Ex-tjov. Stone evidently intends to put a brand of infamy upon the brow of every who is engaged in railroad employment in thie State. He rervards them as lepers who must hide in out of the way places, and who must not touch garments with .decent and pure men like himself, as such touch means pollution. The conductors, engineers, firemen, brakemen, switchmen, shop employes and other railroad men ought not to rest quietly under this assault upon their integrity and manhood. Stone assumes to speak, not merely as an individual, but as a moutb- piece of the ae and ig to be received with the party's sanction at prominent points “ee or the State to give voice to bis sentiments. Ve mus, herefore, hold the Democratic party responsible for what Stone has said, and for what he may say, and unless that party and its candidates for State of- fices shall repudiate him and disavow his utter- ances, it cannot expect to receive, and ought not to receive, the railroad vote of this State. I am, personally, and always have been, a pronounced Democrat, and there are 80,000 railroad employes in the State who hare in the past voted the Deto- eratie tleket. I do not think a single one of these voters will disagree with me as to the trnth of the statement that we cannot afford to vote for any party which seeks to make us Infamous by excluod- ing us from i{ts councils and denying us the right to appeal to any legislature for the protection of our rights ofr the redress of our rongs. Thé attack of Stone upon ratiiroad men wiil, un less disavowed by the party, force a multitude of WHO IS THERE AMONG THE READERS OF THIS PAPER THAT WOULD NOT SPEND TWO CENTS To know of a certain and speedy cure for catarrh and deafness? For a two-cent stamp, Pretzinger Bros., Chemists, Day- ton, O., will send a free sample of Pretz- inger’s Catarrh Balm. This remedy will prove and is guaranteed to cure in less time, for less money and trouble, than any other medicine or treatment obtain- able. A trial will convince any one of its merits. “I had the catarrh for twenty years and have doctored a lot of money away, which did me no good. The neighbors said that I had the consumption. I would cough and spit all the time. I could not sleep nights. About one year ago I tried your Balm; now I can sleep all right and eat good. Before I used your Balm I weighed 125 pounds, but, now I weigh 150 pounds. It has done wonders for me. My daughter had enlarged tonsils; your Balm cured her. You may publish this 1f you wish.” Wm.

CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE PLEASED The Bill Carries a $50,000 Appro- priation for the Erection of an Experimental Plant. The Council at its session Friday after- noon passed the bill appropriating $50,000 for experimerting in the filtering of the city’s water supply. Carroll, Gast, Gaus, Kratz and Thuner voted against the bill, and Mr. Hoffmann was absent. Messrs. Wm. E. Guy, Robt. Moore and Col. E. J. Spencer of the Citizens‘ Com- mittee were present when the bill was passed. They were highly pleased with the action of the majority. When the bill was called up for passage Mr. Gast moved to lay it over one week. Mr. Horton opposed the motion, urging that the bill was most important and haste was necessary in order to get it passed be- fore adjournment, April 17. Mr. Hodges supported this contention {mn a long and earnest speech, in which he dis- cussed the mcrits of the proposition. Messrs. Carroll and Kratz argued that an appro- priation for an exper!mental plant would be money thrown away. Their arguments were of no avail, and the bill was passed, 7 to 5. The House of Delegates having failed to accept the Council’s amendments to the bill allowing the assistant prosecuting at- torney a clerk, Mr. Richards moved a con- ference. Messrs. Richards, Schnell and Thuner were appointed on the Conference Committee. ‘Mr. Horton introduced a bill authorizing the American Car and Foundry Co. to erect a private scale. The bill allowing the Street Commissioner to make contracts for the cleaning and scrubbing of the paved streets of the city Was passed. In the House of Delegates the filtration bill was read the first time. The lively feature of the session was the result of the report of the Committee on Pducation and Labor on the resolutions favoring the passage by Congress of a bill minimizing the competition between convict and free labor. The resolutions were by Schumacher and Kelly. The Schumacher resolution eriticized Gov. Stephens for his position favoring convict labor, and the Kelly resolution was silent concerning the Governor. Both resolutions were reported and much oratory resulted. The Kelly reso- lution was adopted. Mr. Schumacher at once resigned from the Committee on Edu- cation and Labor.

CHICAGO, March &.—As a result of the conference between the Executive Board of the Pattern Makers’ Union and the job shop employers last evening it seems prabable that the demand of the union for wages and hours will be granted. ‘The men asked for a nine-hour day at tne same wages they were receiving for Ww hours at present.

It was accepted and Pres!- dent Edward Carroll asked that each of the 33 trades appoint a representative to meet the commission. An unusual form of union agreement has been adopted by the machiniste, which has met with the approval of several of the large manufacturers and has been signed by them. It is drawn up, not with the In- ternational Association of Machinists, not with the ‘business agent of the local union, but with the employes of each manufact- urer, known as the shop committee of the union. It grants the wages and hours asked for, but stipulates that no business agent shall visit the shop or interfere in any way with the affaire of the concern.

Doyle admitted that he had been released from jail only three weeks ago, but claimed he had been held on a charge of which he was innocent. He said that he had worked for a man named Murphy, crating waste paper in Crawford's alley.

I work for Murphy, packing waste paper down in Crawford's alley.”’ “That will do,” said Judee Sidener. ‘This live at job down in Crawford's alley is getting to be a chestnut. Then my ooservation has been that when a man has rheumatism he does not walk all the way from Eighteenth and Disivion streets down to the Levee for exercise.

A SCANDAL AVERTED. Secretary Root has averted another scandal by his agil- ity. He granted a young department clerk an exclusive privi- lege to dredge for gold at Cape Nome. The fact leaked out and was made the subject of bitter comment in the Senate. Now the Secretary throwns open the privilege to everybody, thus putting “the whole right with the people,” as a War Office official elegantly put it. The McKiniey Administration has been involved in so many scandals that Mr. Root’s prompt face about is grati- fying. it is not pleasant to think of Washington as the fruitful soil cf jobs and deals. We hope there will be no more of them.: But what can be expected when McKinley himself is under obligations to so many financial schemers? The Hepburn letter made that clear. - a A good way to push the World’s Fair bill through Con- gress is to push the citizens’ fund in St. Louis. Let it be completed at the earliest date. it will stimulate the Con- gressional Committee. i a> —_— a RECOMMEND THE PASSAGE OF THE BILL The lowa House cf Representatives by unanimous vote has indorsed the World's lair and recommended the passage of the bill now before Congress. The example should move other legislative bodics now in Bession to do likewise. There is no doubt that there is a deep and widespread senti- ment in the country, especially in the States of the Louis- fana territory, in favor of the Fair, and all public bodies should be the organs for its expression. Congress is commonly very deliberate about legislation. But the merits of this project are so universally acknowl- edged that there is little room for debate. If the public will can be heard through representaitive bodies of citizens, commercial, social and political, Congress will heed the call. Let the recommendation be unanimous. oe Capt. Leary would make a fine Governor of Porto Rico. When he sees his “plain duty” he does it. But perhaps that won't recommend him to the man who has the appointing power. a i Ae A PERSONAL QUESTION. The Woman's Journal prints a neat little story as proof that women dv want to voie, notwithstanding the denials often heard. At a dinner party all the ladies said “‘O, dear, no, we don't Want to vote.” Whereupon the following dialogue took place: “Suppose it was proposed to license a saloon opposite your house?’ “Yes, I should want to vote aguinst that.” “Or suppose it was proposed to give your street an extra policeman ?”’ “©, yes, I should vote for him.” “Or suppose the question was a better water supply and improved sewerage?” To this likewise, there was an unanimous affirmative. This looks convincing, but let us think about it. All the questions went to direct personal interest. Have women any more public interest than men? Without that the stay at home vote would be increased by the grant of the franchise. And what good would that do? When women learn—what many men have not learned— that the interest of all is the main thing in politics, and personal interest only an aside, they will deserve the right of suffrage. Why should not Mr. Mchinley wabble in his Kentucky pol- icy as well as in all his other policies? >a re AMERICA’S LESSER LIGHTS. Stars differ in magnitude and brilliance, yet all are stars. So with the numerous great Americans whose names are coming to the front in the Post-Dispatch’s interesting compe- tition:, There are some of whom we seldom hear. not famous, yet their greatness no one will deny. SATURDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—MARCH 24, 1900, wrote “The Star Spangled Banner,” and Paul H, Hayne, one of the sweetest singers of the South, suggest themselves. There are many others, for the sake of whose memory the Post-Dispatch would, if it were possible, print all the letters received in this competition. As a result of this gathering of the names of worthies by our readers, a creat many persons will know a good deal more of the history of their country when the contest is concluded than they did before it began. — SS a It is now an open secret that Carnegie and Frick made $40,000,000 last year on an investment of $50,000,000. The ge- crets that have been shut up through the influence of the Republican managers must have been racy indeed. — Se MISSOURI VOTERS ON MONOPOLY. The Sunday Post-Dispatch published the names of State legislators who voted for the street railway monopoly bill and are candidates for renomination to the State Legislature or other offices. We asked what the voters would do’ with these men. The voters have answered the question, in two Cases. State Senator Benjamin Anderson of the Ninth Senatorial District voted for the street railway monopoly law. He was a candidate for the congressional nomination in the Seventh District. Congressman Cooney defeated him in his own coun- ty (Boone), by 1425 votes. Senator Anderson carried only two precincts. William A. Wight, Representative from Randolph County in’ the House, voted for the street railway monopoly bill. He was a candidate for the senatorial nomination in the Ninth District to succeed Senator Anderson. He was de- feated for the nomination by Thomas L. Rubey of Macon County, who carried Macon and Boone Counties. Wight carried only his own county. State Semator Hohenschild was absent from the Senate when the vote was taken on the street railway monopoly bill. In a contest for the renomination he was defeated in his own county. These are straws which indicate that the sentiment of the people against monopoly is not a mere sentiment, ag it seems to be with many of their official representatives. ict i id = oo Dewey’s welcome in St. Louis must make it plain to the | hero of Manila that the people of the inland States appreciate | candidate for Governor on the imperialist platform. saltwater valor as much as the coast dwellers. ee ee Oe DON'T LIKE IMPERIALISM The people of Arkansas don’t like imperialism.

Buller, found in an English paper: “Buller, Gen. Rt. Hon. Sir Redvers Henry, G.C.B., K.C.M.G., K.C.B.; b. 1839, General Commanding in Chief of Forces, Natal.

Mottoes: ‘No cross no crown,’ and ‘Faint heart never won fair Lady (smith).’ Club: White's.” i i “It is evident,’ says the Baltimore Sun, “that we can- not sell abroad at low prices articles made of materials that have paid a heavy duty.” The Sun refers to the Dingley tariff. Yet it is true that the United States is selling in fureign countries far more manufactures than at any previous time. The average has risen beyond $1,000,000 a day.—High Tariff Organ. Protected industries, by making the American consumer pay exorbitant tariff taxes, can certainly sell to foreigners at low prices. It isn’t the foreigner who pays the tax. It is the American. =] = i id As a result of a religious revival which recently converted 600 citizens the Mayor of Moundsville, W. Va., announces that he will run the town as Sheldon would run it.

He finds ae Versall &. 8 mission concerning the reported threat- ened Spanish plottings against Biloxi and the Frefch possessions. Serigny tells him of the existence of Carne Yvard, a Spanish spy. De Mouret is to meet the King on the day following. The King assures him that Gen. Bienville will not be disturbed at Biloxi. De Mouret at once sets out to Paris to find Yvard. He is inveigled into a gambling house by & woman and has a sword encounter with a stranger, who turns out to be Yvard. He secures.from him in a scuffle the important papers he is seeking. Yvard discovers his loss, sets a menial to watch Capt. De Mouret and starts to search for the docu- ments. The young woman, Mile. Florine, helps De Mouret escape. Being followed, he stabs Yvard in the shoulder. De Mouret and Jerome de Greville attend a ball to find Yvard's mistress. She lures De Mouret back to the gambling house. There he again meets Broussard, a colonial spy, with whom he had crossed the ocean, and who is assoclated with Yvard. Capt.

De Mouret is delirious several days, and is attended by Mlle. Florine. After his recovery he and Jerome de Greville go to Sceaux to learn more of Yvard. They meet Qhevalier Charles de la Mora. Mile.

THE SCHORRS’ COLT LOUISVILLE FOLK STILL THINK BRODE A GREAT HORSE. SHOULD HAVE BEATEN PRINCE. ee ee President Schulte Thinks It Was the Heavy Going Alone That Beat the Schorr Entry. Special to the Post-Dispatch LOUISVILLE, March 24.—These are live- ly times at Churchill Downs. The fine weather and clean course have ® given the big and little horses etabled there a chance for a good outing, and they are taking advantage of it. Fast trials are the order often now and many a horse is running the quarters in record-breaking time. The Louisville people had their eye on the NCrescent City Derby and many were sur- prised at the way it went. President Schulte of the Louisville Jockey Club eaid regarding the result of the Cres- cent City Derby: “While I do not desire to detract from the glory of the good Morris colt, I must say 1 believe I’. W. Brode is the Mr. Schorr’s colt likes good going. cannot do a thing in the mud, and it isa wonder that he made the show money, for burns could do little with him. Don’t you remember that he was withdrawn from the burns handicap on account of the heavy track? Had the track been fast at New Orleans on iast Saturday there might have been a different result. I believe brode has a“ chance for the other derbias, and that it will take a sure-enough good colt to beat him,"’ “Board of Trade’ Smith holds out for $25,000 for Lieut Gibson, and it hardly seems at all probable that he will get any- thing like that amount for the colt. It is true that Lieut. Gibson is of high class and that he stands a chance of winning the Louievilie, Latonia and American derbies, but at the same time there are other colts that are improving right along and may wrest them from the Chicago man’s colt. Smith would be doing remarkably well to get $20,000 for Gibson. Jean Beraud, the Whitney horse, stepped ott a mile this morning in 1:50, end did it like he enjoyed the fast going. He could have shaken it out in three seconds less andl never turned a hair. 1 understand that the books are full on Imp for the Brooklyn end Suburban, but if such is the case it would not be amiss for the sports to put Gowh something on Jean Beraud as a sort of a hedze. | Johnny McCafferty wired yesterday that he wanted 15 stalls and good quarters re- eerved for him here at once. He is going to ship to Louisvilie about the middie of the Memphis meeting. Johnny owns Cle- ora, a Kentucky Oaks candidate, and he thinks he is ZOl\ng to get sume of the money here with Eva Rice and the others of his Btring. Patterson & Morris have about decided that they will not ship either to Memphis or Chicdgo. They have a good string, and have ariived at the conclusion that they cannot do better than remain right here and have a try for the Louisville stakes and purses. Hart Gibson will be here in 10 days from New Orleans with a string of eight good ones, which includes Miss Dede, his Oaks candidate, and Princé Wilke’. The latter is clizible to start in the de rby, but he will hardly do so. Scofg Harlan has written Secretary Dres- Ben that he will be here about the list of May and that he wants stable room for 10. “Long Shcet’’ Conley has severed his con- mection with the Schulte stable. Last No- vember ‘Mr. Schulte concluded that the lit- tle black boy was elther out of juck or not doing his best and for that reascen he let him go. ‘“Kid’’ Perrette, who rode jast season on the Chicago tracks and is con- sidered a clever little rider will do some of the saddle work for the stable, but Mr. Schulte will get a first-class jockey to dv the principal riding. Tom Slater has put in an appearance at the Downs, with a big string of horses, all by Wandering Jew. One of them is a 4- year-old maiden and never had a saddle on her until yesterday... He tossed a 140- pound coon over the fence at the first ef- fort and stood him on his head. A new band stand has been put up at the Downs. It is directly behind the judges’ stand, and in a position where it will drown the voice of the caller in the press stand. President Schulte has a string of seven headed by Alleviate still on the Pacific coast. He will have them turned out there and will make no effort to bring them back to this section of the country. This section of the Schulte string has done well the past season, and the owner is highly prensed with his venture, 2 On form Lieut. Gibson has nane the g of Sam Phillips, the Schorr colt ng Berne tered for all the derbies. He made equal- ly as good, if not a better, showing last year than Lieut. Gibson.

David Nicholson, St. Louis, Me, remarked a few days ago: “F will sell my colt for $20,000, and if he does not beat Lieut. Gibson in the American Derby I! will refund $10,000 to the purchaser. The books of the Louisville Jockey Club will not be ovt until April 1, They will contain the names of nearly all the claimed 2-year-olds, and the little volume will worth filing away for future reference. There are now 400 horses at the Downs, and several hundred more are coming. Al!- ready the club is being pressed to accom- modate them. They have secured the trot- ting track, and some of the horses will be accommodated there. It is estimated that there will be nearly 1000 horses here when | the meeting begins. Judge Price will arrive home from Calli- fornia April 10, and will at once begin ar- ranging for the meeting to begin here on May 3 Secretary Dressen insists that there will be a larger field this season that there has been in several years. He says he has re- ceived positive assurance from near] Fae dozen men that they intend to start their colts. There is not a doubt but Star Bright, Gibson, Flaunt, Kentucky Farmer, Bena- dier, Fhrive, Solden, Sam Phillips and F. W. Brode will be in it. This will make an exciting race and add considerably to the rofits of the bookies, for these horses ave owners who will back their animals | with the coin of the realm in big quanti- ties.

David Tenny Arbuces Constellator There was an air of sadness at the Fair Grounds this morning. The flags hung at half mast and around the stables there Was unusual quiet. The news of the death of Cc, C. Maffitt had reached the big course and it struck home to those who were ac- customed to his cheery voice, to his stable boys, hostlers and trainer, wha had come to look on his daily visits to his stable as moments of pleasure to the working force at the Fair Grounds who had known Mr. Maffitt as a dear, good friend to whom all could confide their troubles when the occa- sion arose and to big and little owners who had come to look on Mr. Maffitt as their own real friend. Na one felt the blow hard- er than Presiddnt Robert Aull and his corps of assistants. They had always looked up to Mr. Maffitt as their leading guide and as the one man connected with the St. Louis Fair Association whosé allegiance to it and whose enthusiasm in its certain prosperous future never wavered. With Mr. Maffitt’s death indeed the St. Louls Fair Association loses its best and truest friemd. At the Grounds to-day there was mournful dence of his departure on every side. Maffitt even up to a few days ago looked torward ta the near-by racing : son with pleasure. His stable was at in shape to do its owner justice and the black and white stripes would have flut- tered in the foreground many a time had Mr. Maffitt lived until the flowers of May had fairly bloomed. But the racing year will open with St. Louis’ leading gentle- man turfman asleep under the daisies. His kindly acts, hawever, will live long after him and they will be pleasant memories at the great race course for many a day yet to come.

HOT SPRINGS, March 24.—The munic!i- pality of Hot Springs apparently believes not in the truth of Mr. Shakspeare’s epi- gram that consistency is a jewel. This inference is drawn from the fact that Sunday baseball, live bird shoots and other innoceat amusements are not permitted. while gambling in all its nefarious forms is tolerated. The why of this parodoxical Situation is clear. The gambling resorts where in faro, rou- lette, craps and poker hold sway are legal- ized. ihe proprietors pay a fine of $1200 a year. The amount is fixed at the instance or the law officers and no formality Is required, nor is the affender in any wise humiliated when he pays the assessment, He is not ar- rested, but if he becomes eoirelict in his | duty a deputy constable or a policeman is sent to inform him that his renial is due. Payment in advance is imperative. The City Council passed an ordinance Sanctioning poolrooms so that the baokies in lieu of a check for $500 may operate at will. Now and then a factional quarrel arises among the authorities and the games There are five clubs which have al? the | paraphernalia and certainly all the con- | veniences necessary to operate a first-class establishment. From them the municip&l treasury, for it is ordained that the receipts will go into the coffers of the city, derives an immense income not less perhaps than $20,000 per annum from other sources of a Similar character the receipts net $5000. At- tached to nearly every hotel and rooming house is a poker table. It is not known that the proprietors of these places pay tribute to our indulgent city fathers. This conditian of affairs might not ap- pear so objectionable if tempered with lit- tle liberality. In consequence, Manager Tebeau was obliged to journey to Memphis to-day to play baseball Sunday. “We could play ball in Hot Springs all right,”” said Mr. Tebeau, “if we put up a sufficient amount of money. But our re- ceipts don’t justify us in paying a fine, sa we decided to play elsewhere.” All of the players except Fred Buelow ac- companied the team to Memphis. Buelow is suffering intensely from a sore throat. He is under the care of a doctar, but is not getting much relief. In fact, he has lost considerable sleep and this coupled with a poor appetite, is beginning to tell on him. “T have hardly closed my eyes two nights. I’ve been taking all kinds of medicine. I do not think, however, that the case is clear et.’ It will be a pity if Schreckengost !s not retained. He is introducing new fads on dress every day. He would grow indignant, however, were you to ask him if he was trying to outrival J. Waldere Kirk. His latest outfit isa gray suit with light stripes. The hose is red, green and blue. He is apt to wear any kind of a Stetsom. His tie varies with the color of Uncle Sam’s banner. The team has played earnestly in the last week and now feel in winning form. “A few days more,” says Mr. Tebeau “and we will be able to show the people of St. Louis just what we can do tin the line of base running, hitting and fielding. St. Loauts is the best baseball town in America and if ever the St. Louls Club was in good shape I think it is now. I am convinced there will be no dissatisfaction when we make our formal appearance on the dia- mond.’’ Casino, the game of ve olden time, is a favorite of Jones and Powell.

CHICAG®O, March 24.—The National Liorse Breeders, Dealers and Exhibitors’ Association, now holding their annual meet- ing in thie city, unanimously decided last night to revive the Horse Show in Chicago. The date will be either the last week in November, immediately after the New York Horse Show, or during the first week in 1» cem ber. The show will be under the auspices of the association and company, and $25,000 capttal stock will be formed to manage it. Every type of horse wiil be entered—Per- cherons, Clydesdales, coach, oarriaze and cart horses. In point of attendance the show, it is predicted, will far surpass any ever given in Chicago, and it Its proposed to make .t one of the most fashionabie events of the year.

While there he hung his &-cent After his return to the hotel he noticed a cane with a silver handle on the counter and his own was missing. ‘Maybe someone substituted this for mine,”’ he remarked, “and I think that I have got the best of the bargain, because I wouldn’t part with this for $8. I have cer- tainly got the best of the bargain.”’ While out walking afterwards the cane broke as he was crossing the street, and then Mike thought the joke was on him. With many execrations he threw the cane away. ‘It’s a faney stick,”” was Mike’s com- “and now I know why mine was graph company called Donlin up on the ‘phone and informed him that his cane Was there. “But,” said the manager, ‘I have lost one worth $4.’ Then he gave a description that tallied with the one that Mike tossei in the gutter. “Well, I will,” eaid Mike. “You might get that $4 if you send to my old man in Pennsylvania, but I haven’t a red cent.”’ If Jack O’Connor is as lucky this year at baseball as he has been playing poker ' with a 10-cent ante, he will stand at the top of the baseball ladder. His winnings will pay his cigar money for some time to come, It now looks as though Tommy Sheehan will not be identified with the St. Louis club. He is an ambitious chap and the most industrious worker, but there are al- ready a surplus of players for the infleld and he is about the weakest at the bat. In close quarters he appears apt to get rattled. “If we retire any of the new men,” 6ays Mr. Tebeau, ‘“‘their connection with the St. Louis club will give them a prestige that will command for them a good remunera- tion in a minor league.’”’ As the infield now s\andse, with the chances favoring McGann as playing first base regularly, there is a quintette of play- ere Whose batting averages will foot higher than any other five tin the League. Keister Is now in superb condition, and in one of the practice games he hit the aphere eafely four out of five times. There is one man on the team who is not afraid of his physique—that is Lave Cross. While running to second in the game Thursday afternoon he made a@ dive of 10 feet for second baée. The effort wus enough to bruise every bone In his body, but Cross didn’t as much as look at his hand. The Regulars and the Colts of Tebeau’s team met here again to-day and the Reg- ulars won by 11 to 6. M’AULIFFE. ee Questions Answered. their services.

Many advances were as much as two points, while nearly all the raliroads were up from a point to fractions. The industrials were mixed, but many of them showed gains, while the tractions were the plague spot in the market, and most of them were lower. The market started generally about the close of Friday, with only fractional changes either wey, ex- cept that Pacific Mail, Continental) Tobacco and Baltimore & Ohio common were up 1, and North- western 1%. From the start it was very strong, and the movement, except im the tractions, was decid- the movement, In the first hour Baltimore & OUhio preferred. Atchison and Missouri Lacific were up ; New York Oentral, Northern Pacific and Union Pacific, 1; Wabash preferred and St. Louls Seuth- western, 14%; Baltimore & Ohio common, 1%; At. Paul, 1%; Pacific Mall, 1%; Pennsylvania, 1%, which are pretty stiff for such steady issues as these. traction group Third Avenue gained 1%, it; Metropolitan wes off 244; Brooklyn Rapid Transit, 1, and Manhattan was even. Gen- eral Electric was up 1%; Continental common, People's Gas, 14%, and Sugar, ; Then came the bank statement, and at once it was taken by the buils a6 @ good argument for their side. In spite of the usnal tendency to realize at such times, the market continued to show the same degree of strength, and toward the close was still » higher on most of the tseues. Even Third Avenue braced up a bit and closed 1% up. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was off 1h Mandhattan was even, and Metropolitan still hwwer. Among those points higher, were A. 8S. W., the Atchisons and Baltimore & Obio, Big Four, Continental common, D. & K. G., General Electric, Northern lDacific, Pennsy}- vania, People’s Gas, We Island, Southern Pacific, St. Paul, Sugar, Union Pacific, St. Louis Southwest- ern, Anaconda and some of these were up as mucb as 3 points. The close Was strong, active and de- cidedly bullish. These opinions came to St. Louls brokers: To Wasserman. Private: About the only active stock that has net reacted is Southera preferred. It will sell 65 before it reacts mucl I hear Anaconda will advance several points within « week or #0. A. Mm We BF & ee T. ©. & I. ought all to do bet- am inclined to think Sugar purchase I also believe B. RK. T. a pur- the breaks There may be some weak- ness, and if so, take advantage of it to buy a fair line of stocks, ‘Ine market should be strong after that bank statement and will probably advance until Tuesday or Wednesday. Continental Tobacco is acting like it might have a fair advance. The safest buyers are: GUrangers, Atchison preferred, Southern Pacific and the steel- ers, though I believe dnything can be profitably bought on recessions from present prices. McIntyre & Wardwell: The bank atatement shows an increase ip surplus of over $3,000,000. This should give a stronger tove to the market and lead to renewed buying by commission houses and give us a better market next week. Private: Naturally there hase to be a rest and reaction after such big volumes as we havé had, but ve little stock came out on the decline. My advice must be understood as applying to the railroad stocks in general and other stocks that I may mention. I have uo adv.ce to give on Sugar or B. R. T. or such. or the other stocks this is a bull market. There must be reactions, of course, but on these reactions stocks should be bought. 1 am very sure that the high prices of this week will be more than passed by the ad- vance next week This statement applies to the stocks that I have named. \ve had such a re- action as we have had every Friday. Stocks have been a buy every Friday and Saturday. You can add Missouri Pacific to the list of stpcks that can be bought. A. M. Lamar: On any setbacks pick up the low and medium priced railroad stocks, particularly the Southern issues. Sugar may be lower, and if 6 can be bought for a quick turn. The tractions will continue to move irregularly until the as- sessinents of the Ford bill are wade public, and for that reason it is wise to take moderate profits on either side until something definite is known. Private: I wish to urge you to use caution in your sales of Sugar and B. R. T., as it is the belief in one or two prominent bouses that the tax will not be as severe as is generally sup- posed, and should this be the case, it is likely sharp rallies will fol!ow such an announcement, and we must bear in aind that B. R. T., Metro- politan and Manhattan are not far from the prices of December last. and there is room for pro- nounced rallies, and for the present I think these stocks might be picked up on recessions of 1 or 2 ints, but for the present moderate profits should » taken. I caution you against taking losses of over a half or 1 point. Wy, lAttio & Haves. msidering that market during large part of the week has enjoyed an Saale" vesterdar’s love- ment in prices was perfectly natural.

The halt is about over, and next week the market should resume its upward swing.— Dow, Jones & Co. Yesterday was logically reaction rhe and To J. W. Sanford. London mavket closed strong for Americans under the leadership of Denver common, which shows a yain of over 1 point cver our closing. It appears that London’ is following the example which has been set here of taking more interest in the mid- dle and lower priced stocks than in such securi- ties as St. Paul and I. C. The sharp decline which took place during the last half hour yester- day in Metropolitan was dne to the publication by a news bureau of a rumor that the company contemplated iasuing $25,000,000 stock. There is no truth in th's story. buying of B. & VU. pre- ferred continues very good and this is also true of the common. There js as yet no definite news to account for the high level of the common. To- day's bank statemen: is a good showing, as the banks have @ustained small losses in cash and material reduction in loans,—Wortley. Railroad bonds firm; Governments unchanged. Rank statement genefally accepted as more favor- able than expected and all the large interests in the street were active on long side. Pool buying in B. & O. and Missouri Pacific noted. Closing very strong and at about best prices.—Clark, Dodge A&A Co. : The only weak feature in the situation to-day is the labor disturbance. Labor leaaers declare 100,- 00OO men will be called out, but we feel that we mray safely predict that this disturbance will not be as serious as former strikes; that the duration will not be as long and the number of men affected as grent. Money continues abundant and fairly cheap, the Bank of England rate being 4 per cent. Manufacturers and the principal com- panies are all busy at remunerative prices, and it is reported that the Baldwin locomotive works have orders for 700 locomotives. It is predicted that the rate per ton per mile will show a small intrease this year as compared with last year upon some of tbe great Western importance—as rates have pretty steadily declined during the past 10 years, and if that movement is checke’l it will make a great iucrease in earnings to railroads. We still advise purchases of the railways. We believe Atchison preferred and com- mon and Southern Pacific will show handsome gains during this year. We also feel particularly friend- ly to Burlington. The bank stafement is fairly good—much better than was generally estimated, and all the large interests in the street were active on the buying side.—J. F. Harris. Notes.

THE MARKETS. MEROHANTS’ EXCHANGE, March 24. Foreign markets were expected to respond to day to our closing advances yesterday. The big jump in the prices of the leading futures was @ surprise to the bears and gave enough encourage- ment to the bulls to result in the first bullish opening that has been experienced of late. Liverpool was %d up for wheat and 1%d up for corn. London was 5d advanced for wheat, and Paris closed 10 centimes, or %c, higher than yesterday's close. These figures all show that there ig a bull contingent still in the pit, which gets in its work on all favorable news.
