H., a village about 40 miles from Boston, who had not seen each other in 32 years, met accidentally in a hotel in Colorado Springs this week. Through a misunder- standing they parted in anger in 1868, each going his own way and not hearing of the other. James made his home in Yankton, S. D., where he amassed a fortune in the furni- ture and undertaking business. Frank, at- tracted by the silver excitement in Lead- ville, Colo., in 1869, proceeded thither, but subsequently located in Aspen, Colo., where he is now a prosperous cattle deal- er. Another brother is Dr. Josiah Sanborn of Springfield, ‘Mass. Mr. and Mrs. James Sanborn had been in California since last winter, and on the way home stopped at Colorado Springs for a brief visit a few days ago. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sanborn had come to Colorado Springs to meet their sister, Dr. Mary E. Cox of Coleman, Tex., to es- cort her to their ranch in Aspen, where she will spend the summer. Both families, as it happened, registered at the same ho- tel. James Sanborn was sitting in the parlor of the Qhelten Inn when. he noticed a stoop-shouldered man pass by and enter the dining room. Turning to his wife he on That man’s shoulders remind mé of my father and brother.”’ “I threw aside my paper,”’ he said, in telling of the incident later, ‘“‘and gazed at the man. Then I shouted, ‘Frank!’ “The man ‘ooked up, but paid no atten- tion to me. I became nervous and excited taking a good position watched his stoppy shoulders to see whether or not he was my long missing brother. Fina.iy, when he had finished the meal, I approached him, saying: ‘Excuse me, aren’t you Mr. Frank Sanborn?’ ‘‘He looked at me quietly and said he a was. ‘“*My name is James Sanborn,’ I said. ‘Then you are my long missing brother,’ Frank exclaimed.’ A moment later the gpec- tators were surprised to see two elderly men embrace each other while tears rolled down their cheeks. The two wives looked on in astonishment. Silently the brothers left the dining room, followed by their wives. Introduction followed and tears gave way to jollity. To complete the joy of the occasion the sister, Dr. Mary E. Cox, ar- rived soon afterward and was as much sur- prised as Frank, to meet his brother, James. The brothers will leave for their respec- tive homes in a few days, but they have naturally promised to keep up a regular correspondence and see more of each other in the future, ing It All to His Young Wife.

Van Ness, a bridegroom of 82. with $1,500,000, and a pretty bride of 28 has been rudely spoiled by a legal move made by three young nieces to take the aged man’s fortune out of his hands to keep him from giving it all to his wife. The bride was accused of having set an ingenious trap to ensnare the rich: old widower. Justice Andrews was asked for an injunc- tion to prevent Mr. Van Ness from dis- posing of any of his estate except the in- come, $50,000 a year, and to remove him as executor of his former wife’s estate, and to appoint a receiver for the property. death, declare that Mr. Van Ness is under he can. The bride was Alice Wood. Mr. Blandy for the nieces, declared that a woman told the bride that Mr. Van Ness was “making love to every woman he met on the street” and had proposed to several, This, ac- cording to Mr. Blandy, inspired the intrigue to get the old man’s fortune. Miss Wood went to Cornwall, where Van Ness Hved in a magnificent mansion, and engaged a boarding house nearby. Bhe contrived the scheme, said Mr. Blandy, of slipping and spraining her ankle in front of the house. She was taken into the Van Ness home and there formed the acquaint- ance of the milionaire, They were married on February 21 last. A letter alleged to have been written to the young woman by a medical student, who signed himself ‘“‘Otto,’’ was introduced by Mr. Bilandy. The letter began, "My darling Alice,’”’ and in a measure showed that the girl had married to get funds on which she and Otto would live after the old man’s death. Van Ness-and the nieces belonged to an old Knickerbocker family. EXECUTION AGAINST A MINISTER Judgment for Damages and Costs in a Suit Against Rev. Dr. Bishop. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 19.—The St. Louis World's Fair bill is now ready for final con- Sideration by the House special committee _ at the meeting to be held next Tuesday. At the meeting of the subcommittee of the House to-day, of which Representative Steele of Indiana is chairman, the redraft- ing of the bill so as to include the amend- ments suggested by the committee was completed. To-morrow Mr. Joy and Mr. Cobb will go over the bill in detail and a correct copy of the revised measure will be submitted to Gov. Francis and Mr. Thompson when they arrive Monday. The subcommittee was charged with the duty of rewriting the appropriation section of the bill, 60 as to have it provide that the government shou'd be an equal sharer with the tax- payers and subscribers of St. Louis in the net proceeds of the fair. After consider- able discussion the subcommittee decided to present this additional paragraph to sec- tion 19 to the full committee, with the recommendation that it be adopted: “Provided, that there shall be pa'td into the Treasury of the United States as large & proportionate amount of the aid given by the United States as shall be repaid to either the corporation or the city of St. Louis.”’ The subcommittee was not empowered to deal with the amount of the government ap- propriation and that subject was not dis- cussed at the meeting. Section 19, contain- ing the apprapriation for $5,000,000, will be reported back to the full committee just as it stood in the orig'nal bill, with the exception of the additional paragraph given, and it will then be for the full committee to make any further amendment. if further amendment is desired. that the committee will not any reduction in the appropriation, it be- ing well understood that a sum less than $5,000,000 would not be acceptable to the promoters of the fair. If the committee cannot be induced to report the bill fav- orably with the $5,000,000 appropriation, it will be asked to report the bill with the $5,009,000 appropriation, without mendation, and let the House pass upon it.

Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. MANILA, Feb. 26.—Manila already has its white, native and Chinese “bosses.’’ Tae white bass is M. W. Carman of San Fran- cisco, the native is Legarda and the Cii- nese, Palanca. Carman is reputed to have tune already. Has furnished the while Palanca has furnished the knowledge and the capital for their com- mon enterprises. He has the sole right to stone goods in bond and every artivcie which comes into the custam house in bond must go into his warehouse. About four months ago Carman lished the Travelers’ Transfer Co., to carry passengers and baggage ashore from steam- ers, the charge being a dollar for each passenger and piece of baggage. The drum- mer for it was given the special privilege to go aboard with the customs guard and he would tell the passengers there was no other way to get ashore, while the fart is that from Japan to Suez the launch of the owners or the agent of the made a for- influence estab- steamers takes passengers and their baggage ashore without extra charge. The company did very well until the captains of the steam- ers began to enlighten their passengers; then the company’s business slumped. Carman was equal ta the occasion, how- ever. He got Gen. Otis to issue a military order that all passengers and baggage must go ashore in the launches of this company. So the company is doing a thriving business again. Carman convinced Otis that if the land- ing was done by his company and all goods went into his warehouse there would be less danger of insurrectos smuggling in arms from Hong Kong. Charges of corruption and favoritism against the customs offi- Cials and certain of the minor officials in the quartermaster’s department are per- sstent, and it is common talk that thé en- listed men who act as police in the city “collect”? from gambling shops and disor- derly houses. A certain sergeant was. quite candid about it, saying: “The private gets only ‘sixteen per,’ and he sees those above him making something on the s'de, why shouldn't he have his share? Month after month while the Lake “‘Lagunade Bay” was in the pos- session of the insurgents the guards had orcers that only Carman’s, Palanca’s and Why should they trade when Don’t you suppose some- ve ve up the river. others couldn't? body made something out of that? ain't saints.’”’ The trust which Gen. Otis places in La- garda, formerly a Filipino sympathizer, is a matter of general regret to the army. Lagarda is the richest man in Manila. He seems to be persona grata to the insur- rectos as well as to the Americans. . He has been allowed to go back and forth be- tween the insurgent lines and to send h‘s cascoes into the insurgent lines to trade when the same privilege hag been denied to others.

The pros- pective bride being fairly overwhelmed with presents. fix thousand is invitations were issued to this wedding, which is to be one of the most elaborate that has ever been cele- brated in New York. Those who are fa- miliar with its arrangements do not hesi- tate to declare that the magnificence of the Marlborough-Vanderbilt nuptials will be eclipsed by that of this young Western girl and the popular physician who has won her for his bride. Miss Clark its extremely popular, not only in this city but in her native state and its neighboring states. Therefore, Mon- tana, California, Arizona and Utah received a large number of the invitations to the wedding. Even Europe was not overlooked, for the bride to be has many friends visiting there.

Dr. and Mrs. Morris will sail on June 30 for Europe, where they will be met by Dr. and Mrs. Culver, who will leave on June W. The two couples will’ not go abroad to- gether, because of the rule established by Senator Clark, who, not wishing to be ren- dered childless by an accident at sea, will not allow the members of his family to cross the ccean together.

NEW YORK, May 19.—The presence of a mustache and later the absence of the same facial ornament caused a lot of trouble on board Howard Gould’s yacht Niagara just betcore she sailed from this port. Be it known that the sailing master, or rather misiress of the handsome craft is none other than Mrs. Hloward Gould. It is she that must be pleased in the fitting and manning of the yachi and everything was submitted to her inspection before sailing. It so happened that James P. Hylan, who had been engaged as pantryman, had a fine sweeping mustache. When the em- ploves were lined up for Mrs. Gould’s in- spection she said she was not much afraid of hoodoes, hut would not go to sea with such a face on board. Hylan slew the mustache, was something awful to behold, so thought Mrs. Gould. She expressed sympathy for the shorn paentryman, but declared plainly that he wouldn't do. Hylan had now lost both his mustache and his job and he promptly demanded his voyage. Mrs. Gould objected with spirit. Pantfyman Hylan appealed to Commissioner Dickey, who secured a com- promise on one month’s wages at M0 month. A new pantryman was shipped, and the Niagara got under way for the | Azores.

SUNDAY MORNING— ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—MAY 20, 1900, ‘SHALL TAE BOERS COME TO AMERICA? #) Gov. Poynter j oins With the Governors of Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas. ANOTHER INVITATION EXTEND- ED THROUGH THE POST- DISPATCH. A GLANCE AT THE RICH AND CHEAP PRAIRIE LANDs OF A GREAT WESTERN STATE. i jae 2 ~ 3 4 -% > %—? - € - J HF GFHHHHHHOCHHGOCHHOH®S INVITATION TO THE BOERS. EXECUTIVE MANSION, LINCOLN,,Neb., May 16, 1900. As chief executive of this state, one of very best agricultural states in the Union, I wish to extend to the Boers a most cordial invitation to locate in Nebraska. Our people would, I am sure, gladly welcome such sturdy, industrious people to our citizenship. W. A. POYNTER, Governor. © & © @©®OOSOCSCOOOOCOCOCGOHOOS FOHHHHHHHSHHHOH OO chy l GOV. WILLIAM A. POYNTER. The invitation extended by the governors of Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas, through the Sunday Post-Dispatch to the Boers of South Africa to immigrate to the United States and locate upon the cheap lands of the states named, has at- tracted interest and attention throughout the world. The invitation, which was agreed upon by means of a conference over 691 miles of wire, reaching from Jef- ferson City, Topeka and Little Rock into the Post-Dispatch office, was present- ed to the peace envoys from South Africa who arrived in New York City last Monday, and it met with respectful consideration and grateful acknowledgment. The Boers hope to win, of course, in their conflict with Great Britain, but if they should be defeated a large number of them intend to leave their country and trek to America. Why should they not come to the great West and Southwest, where there are still cheap and fruitful lands, and where they may live in peace and plenty during the reniainder of their davs? The invitation and welcome which has already been extended is not con- fined to Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas. The states of Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Texas are just as desirous to have the Boers'added to their citizenship. Gov. A. Poynter of Nebraska expresses himself favorably to the project of asking ine a colony of the Boers for his state. He talked at considerable length on the subject with a Post- Dispatch correspondent and said in part: “There is no place in the world where the Boers will be more welcome than in Nebraska. I have presided over several pro-Boer meetings in the state and know something of the feeling of the people on this subject.” Nebraska is one of the best agricultural states in the Union. There is more tillable land.to the acre in it than in any of the other 42 states. It is a state of varied prod- “ucts. Its soil is rich, and any grain, grass or fruit that flourishes in Eastern states of the same latitude may be _ successfully grown in Nebraska. Sugar, beets and af- falfa are large factors in the crop. There {s no more healthy climate tn the world. The air is dry and pure, free from malaria. Water of excellent quality ts found in abundance at a depth varying from a few feet to 200 feet. The greatest depth is easily reached, as no rook is en- oountered in boring. The cost of a farm depends on the loca- tion and value of improvements, Many farms are actually bought for less than an East- ern farm could be rented. There are millions of acres of government land that can be homesteaded or pre-empted —besides state lands that can be leased. Up the North Platte Valley are over 1),- 000,000 acres of land that can be bought at prices ranging from $1 to $6 per acre—the price being based on the amount of im- provements. The last United States census statistics show that Nebraska has only 31 per3ons un- @ble to read and write out of every 1000; Massachusetts, 62; New York, 55, etc., etc. No state makes a better showing than this, Corn is king in Nebraska and although {where the conditions are more favorable for breeding, raising and preparing live stock for the market. Nebraska stands in the front rank of those states where all of | these conditions exist to the greatest degree | of perfection. In the western and northwestern part of the state large bodies of land are still va- cant. There may be found the wild buffalo and bunch grasses, famous the world over for their nutritiousness. On these lands cat- . tle and horses are raised summer and win- |, ter, needing but little extra food and atten- tion during the cold season. In the central and eastern portion of the estate the native | grasses are gradually giving way to the} that tame varieties and all over the state perfect success is being met in the cultivation of that king of all grasses, alfalfa. The winters are mild, with comparatively | few severe storms, and many a farmer | brings his livestock through the winter with but a board fence to shelter them from the occasional] sharp north wind. Fattening cattle and hogs for the market is one of the most important of all of Ne- braska’s industries. All of these facta would be immaterial 'morning, when the pastor ; Mr. j were there not an active and accessible | market for the product, but in this Ne- braska is indeed fortunate.

The Pyramid Pile Cure is the safest and surest pile cure on the market, because it contains no mineral poisons nor opium nor cocaine, but can be used with ab- — safety and certainty of cure. Many bay zee are now using the Pyramid Pile Cure in place of surgical operations, being painless, convenient to use, and the patient can attend to his san occupation while the cure is being ¢, as it is used at night and no ad- ditional treatment is necessary. Dr, Wharton says the Pyramid Pile Cure will prove a blessing to mankind, when it is remembered that heretofore a surgical operation was considered the only cure with all its danger to life, in- tense pain and an expense of from ten to one hundred dollars, to say nothing of the poe return of the trouble. “The + ggomcagy Pile Cure costs but fifty cents oe drug store and does the work onick safely. } east. | It must be borne in mind also that for many yeare the cattle and sheep fed in Ne- braska feed yards, on Nebrgska corn and hay, have held the top of thé market, Nebraska is a great livestock country— there is no better in the world.

Consequently, the committee declares, an of- fer of mediation cannot be considered by Great Britain as an unfriendly act. ee eS se ee Oe Ol —_— Oo ae Specia] to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 19.—J. M. de Bruyn, secretary to the Boer peace envoys, called at the State Department to-day and left a note formally amnouncing their presence here and a desire to present credentials. It is the desire of the administration to s0 receive the envoys as to please the Boer sympathizers of this country, but great care has been taken by administration officials not to commit the administration in ad- vance of whatever course they may pur- gue. Members of the delegations have un- hesitatingly and often said that the purpose of their visit to Washington is to endeavor to bring about an end to the bloodshed in South Africa. This is interpreted to mean that the United States will be asked to make a tender to Great Britain of the good offices of the United Sates in mediation. If this can be done without offense to Great Brit- ain action will be taken in that direction, but unless assurances are given that En- gland will not frown upon the suggestion of peace nothing will be done. The envoys gave emphasis to-day to the fact that they are not here in alliance with any political party and do not desire that any political significance be attached to their visit, or that political capital be made out of their coming. They appreciate that such an entanglement would impair their chances for securing recognition. Mr. Fischer said it was unfortunate per- haps that they should be here in a presi- dential year, but the time of their coming was not of their selection. It had been Aictated at the urgent need of their coun- try. Regarding the terms on which he ours eace possible, Mr. Fischer said: ‘W ave not come with any hard and fast proposition. But we believe an honorable eace is possible and we believe the United States is the one country so situated as to be able to bring it about.” ‘In deference to the friendly spirit which has been shown by the American people toward us we may say this: We are not comd@uiati: an unprecedented campaign. | We are following the diplomacy sanctioned by the history of the American people.

Plan of Post-Dispatch to In-| vite Them Is Indorsed. EXPRESSIONS FAVOR THE IDEA. ST. LOUISANS ENTHUSIASTIC IN DESIRING THEIR COMING. Views of Some of Those Who Wish to See Them Settle Here—Would Make Good Citizens, All Say. Judging by expressions which are con- stantly pouring into the office of the Post- | Dispatch it is apparent that St. Louisans in | all walks of life enthusiastically favor the proposition to extend an invitation to the | Boers to settle in Missouri {f it should be- come necessary for them to leave South Africa. There seems to be no question as | to whether or not they would make good citizens. Here are a few of the many opin- ions received: Ex-Circuit Judge Daniel Dillon: From the beginning of the struggle between the burghers and the British, my sympathies have been with the Boers. My sentiments are so strongly in favor of the Boers that I would be unwilling to say anything which would apparently form the basis for a be- lief that their cause was lost. As I under- stand it, the question is, in view cf the possibility that the Boers may be forced to leave their country, they should be accorded a welcome by the grand old state of Mis- sourl. On tne basis of this hypothetical question I say that there is no reason on earth why these people should not be wel- comed to Missouri. After the struggle they have made, their devotion to the principle ofa republican form of government cannot be questioned. I believe they would, hasten to seek citizenship in our country and that they wouid make the best kind of citizens. Attorney O'Neill Ryan: It would grieve me greatly to learn that the only recourse of the Boer patriots was to ‘lesert their country, but if they should be forced to do so where else in the world could they find a refuge like that which would Await them in Missouri? I look upon this question from the standpoint of the state. These Buers are an industrious, God-fe saring and hospitable nation. If their citizenship is judged by American standards, it will be found that there can be no doubt that the will readily adapt themselves to the condf. tions prevailing in this country. They could select no better State than Missouri in which to undertake their rehabilitation. As I undenstand it the question is merely ten- tative. I hope that the Boers will not be forced to leave their country, but if they should I am sure Missouri would accord age a hearty welcome. ttorney Sterling P. Bond: The pla f the Post-Dispatch to invite the "aecine Boers to Missouri has my unqualified in- dorsement. A country like ours, which is based on republican prin-ipies cannot afford to turn its back on those who are fighting for those same principles. | would | like to see the Boers win their good fight and on a government as nearly like ours 8 peentbie, in their own country. I admi Pe their high resolve in preferring flight to subjection. If they must flee, all their traditions point to America as the only consistent place of refuge. By right of priority of invitation and by right cf natural advantages the great State of Mis- souri is entitled to the honor of extending the first welcome to the fugitives. Dr. ‘Ludwig Bremer, chairman of the St. Louis Pro-Boer Hospital Corps Fund: “My sentiments are so strongly in favor of the Boers that it would be a work of supererogation for me to say that I indorse the plan of the Post-Dispatch to invite the struggling burghers to settle in Mis- souril if it should be to leave South Africa. I would be a very valuable acquisition to the population of the state. From my point of view I have a great regard for the patriot coal and the gun f™m the other. typifies industry and the gun typifies the defense of inalienable rights. Phe Boers represent progress that is real progress. I am filled with admiration for them. They are diamonds in the rough. believe they vey of their surface, but we wil] them to Missouri and polish them and exhibit their luster to all the world.” Attorney Edward A. Rollman: “I do not believe that my opinion on this question would be of great value were it not for the fact that I have repeatedly placed myself on record as opposed to the importation of foreign labor. I would not gage in manufacturing pursuits. From what I have learned as to the Boers I am convinced that they are a purely agegri- cultural race. acres of government land open ment. If native-born Americans do not take advantage of the opportunity to claim this land, I do not see any reason why the Roers *hould not do so. If they come here and till these hitherto neglected tracts. they may teach our own people a lesson in thrift that will result in enormous profit to the state. If the Boers come to us as farmers I am ready to welcome them. 1 would prefer to see the government land in Missouri settled by Americans. Next to our own people I would extend the hand of fellowship to the Boers rather than to.the representatives of any other foreign nation.’ A Sign. First Officer: Any sign of the enemy weakening?

If Defeated He Will Retreat to Pre- toria, and If Beaten There Will Fall Back to the Mountains Around Lydenburg. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, May 19.—Col. Mahon shares with Baden-Powell the glory of the heroism of the British soldier attaching to the his- tory of the defense and relief of Mafeking. It was Col. Mahon who led the column of troops that succored the famishing garr!- gon, A Dispatch from the Central News corre- spondent with the Mafeking relief force says: ‘‘We approached the town from the south and were attacked by a strong force of Boers. The attack was repulsed and the advance resumed. “The Boers retreated hurriedly and the British pursued them. Fighting was con- tinued in a Boer rearguard action. The British casualties were insignificant. “I am permitted by the censor to say that the Mafeking relief column consisted of 2000 picked men from the South African Light Horse, the Imperial Yeomanry and the Kimberley Horse. “They left Kimberley on May 4 with 3 wagons of stores and ammunition, four horse artillery guns, two pompoms and two Maxims and took a route to the west- | COL. T. B. MAHON, British officer who led the column to the relief of Mafeking. A few hundred broke off the edge of the mass, and forming an impromptu proces- sion, followed musicians through the neighboring highways. A similar feeling of gratification found expression in the West End, and in hardly less exuberant fashion, while all the re- ports from the provinces re-echo the stories of London’s demonstrations. The members of the Stock Exchange mustered early and bought all the flags and bunting available. Every one sported a Union Jack or a badge of some sort. The opening of business was delayed ow- ing to the excitement. But the stock telephone through to the Paris Bourse, by lusty-lunged patriots might be there. As the day proceeded the wild turmoil and excitement increased, and when the remaining places of business closed for the usual half holiday, the released c'erks formed thhuge processions and paraded all the quarters of the town, singing znd hur- ward of the ralilway.”’ Short official bulletins have arrived from time to time stating that the advance of this column was not being opposed. It is believed in official circules here that the relief of Mafeking was effected with the most trifling loss. Experts here say that Mafeking ts forth- with to become the center of important operations upon the Transvaal from the west. Gens. Carrington and Hunter are expected to concentrate fomes there and to make an immediate move on Pretoria and Lydenburg. The tussle, most people be- Heve, will come on the Vaal, in a quarter where the Boer plans are most likely to be known. The first great Boer stand is ex- pected to be made on the ridge near Jo- hannesburg, and it is remembered that though driven back they have lost prac- tically no guns and very little in the way of supplies. If pressed back from the Jo- hannesburg ridge they will, it is suggested, throw some 6000 men into Pretoria to de- lay Lord Roberts there, while the main Boer body presses on to Lydenburg and the mountainous country to make'a deter- mined and prolonged stand. The War Office has received the following dispatch from Gen. Buller, dated New Cas- tle, May 19: “Gen. Clery moved to Ingogo to-day and Gen. Dundonald to Laing’s Nek. We al- most caught up with the tail of the ene- my’s column and have captured a fow pris- oners and wagons. “The men have marched very well in- deed. I left Ladysmith May 10, and, by the road used, am now 138 miles from there. “The telegraph section thas been inde- fatigable, and the Army Servic8 Corps has kept us full of rations ail the time. “The Fifth Division also has done great service,’’ PRETORIA, May 19.—There is a strong determination among the fighting men of the Transvaal to resist the British advance into tis republic to the utmost. It is cer- tain that the government is not disposed to entertain proposals for unconditigna! surrender. ANTWDRP, May 19.—A report has reached here from The Hague that the Boers will Bow tue for peace at any cost. Even Presidents Kruger and Steyn, it {ts said, have become discouraged. LONDON CRAZED WITH Joy Demonstrations Over Mafeking Out- rival Those Following Relief of Ladysmith. LONDON, May 19.—The scenes in the Metropolis today outrival the Ladysmith demonstrations. Many thousands gave up all thought of work and their employers were only too glad to join in the holiday making. As hundreds of the loaded trains journeyed from the suburbs their occupants kept up a roar of cheering which was echoed by the inhabitants of the beflagged houses along the route. From dawn the crowds swelied until the frequented thoroughfares were impassabie and vehicle traffic had to be stopped. No attempt Was made to restrain the feelings. Silk hats were equaily with the working- men's caps enveloped in union jacks. Frock- coated business men did not hesitate to don a sash of the national colore and stock brokers vied with each street urchins in hurrahing for ‘‘Baden-Poweli”’ and Mafek- ing and venting their enthusiasm through tin s, while ladies of high degree par- ticipated {mn the high carnival with remark- able gest. Memorable demonstrations had been pro- outside the Mandion House since rahing and, thus adding to the extraor- dinary excitement of the throngs of holiday takers, whose volleys of cheers kept up an increasing roar. All the naviul and military centers honored the oecasion by cressing ship and firing salutes. A Cape Town dispatch under to-day’s date says the relief force entered Mafeking One of the most curious processions, of the day was formed by some hundreds of South Kensington art students of- Loth Sexes, headed by a mounted Khaki clad comrade. The girls wore their studio smocks and reaped a golden harvest a‘ong the route of the parade for Lady Georgian- na Curzon’s Mafeking fund. In the midst of the procession was a great mole] of Col. Baden-Powell, mounted on a car and guarded by the model of a* lion. The students indulged in a mild demonstration in front of the residence occupied by Col. Baden-Powell’s mother. NEXT STEP IN THE CAMPAIGN With 90,000 Fighting Men Roberts Will Move on Botha’s Little Army on the Vaal. LONDON, May 2%.—Spenser Wilkinson, reviewing the situation in South Africa at midnight, says: The relief of Mafeking relieves Roberts of an embarragsment. It was probably necessary for him to move north the besiegers or detailing large forces to ar- rest the relief column. He has now noth- ing to consider but the means of ending the war. Boers stand south of the Vaal, an the Vaal, at Pretoria or at Lindenberg, they must be crushed for they have only between 20,000 and 30,000 men and Lord Roberts has, count- ing his own column and those of Gens. Rundell, Buller, Hunter and Methuen, not less than 9,000 men, all af whom shortly Mf be ready to invade the Transvaal] posi- At the date of the last telegram received mounted troops spreading out some 40 or 0 miles on either flank. Gen. Rundle was at Clocolan ready to move on Ficks- burg and drive back the Free Staters, who, in diminished numbers, still hold the field. Hunter at Fourteen Streams, with his ad- vance guard at Christiana, and Buller’s advance guard at Laing’s Nek, with his “er infantry at Ingogo, march in the ear, Gen. Buller’s advance at Lainge’s Nek unopposed is important, for it shows that the Boers are demoralized, and possibly means that Gen. Buller will get through the mountains into the Transvaal without Serious opposition, in which case no re- sistance can be made to him before he reaches Heidelberg or Middleburg. Of the destination of Gen. Hunter's force, I cane not at present judge. Some force will be and in a fortnight forces may be wante northwest of Pretoria. the advance to Christiana was a mere dem- Onstration to distract the enemy. It is said that the Boers intend to retreat to Lydenburg, with a view to gain time, al- ways the one purpose of defense. Lord se a therefore, must wish to prevent Nat. Gen. Buller can not come up to the Kroonstad and Pretoria Railroad in time to stop a Boer retreat, though if the Boers Stand at Or near the Vaal his advance must in time compel their Surrender or retreat. If, therefore, Lord Roberts thinks the time opportune to try and end the war he may deliver a prompt blow against the Boers south of the Vaal on the Rhenoster or at Blaauwboschpoort,. This he would do by wheeling the caval- ry wing so as to encircle the Boers, while at the same time pushing his infantry di- Visions rapidly to the front. Such a move would have to be a surprise. Its object would be to capture the whole Boer force. and if successful it would porbably bring about the submission of the Transvaal. VICTIMS OF AN EXPERIMENT.

Last night, after the play, Sarah Bern- hardt gave a supper in honor of Miss Ad- ams.

The ascent took place at 6 p. m., and :asted til] 2 a. m. A somewhat exciting descent is reported from Stoermain. The balloon was dragged to pieces among the trees.

VISIT TO DUBLIN SPOILED. QUEER RATIONS ORDERED FOR THE FRONT. Lord Roberts Has His Own Special Biscuits and Gen. Buller Gets Wine Under Label “Castor Oil.” Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch, (Copyright. 1900.) LONDON, May 19.—It is freely stated in court circles that the Queen is greatly an- noyed at Premier Salisbury’s gratituous anti-Irish speech, as it destroyed at a blow the entire effect of her visit to Dublin. The story goes that when Lord Salisbury visited the Queen at Windsor on her return from Ireland he minimized the significance the Queen sought to attach to her recep- tion. He followed this up at his first pub- lic appearance by Glassing the Irish in the same category with the Boers, on whom the virulent hatred of the bulk of British- ers is now concentrated. Lord Salisbury and his colleagues see in the opposition. to Irish home rule the only point that differentiates them from the Liberals, and any sign of Tory weaken- ing on that question would enormously strengthen the Liberals as justifying their past action. Still, singling out this mo- ment for an attack on the class of Lrish- men from which the Irish regiments are drawn, is regarded as dubious policy. QUEER RATIONS FOR THE FRONT Lord Roberts’ .“‘Bath Olivers’ and Gen. Buller’s ‘“Castor Oil.”’ Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, 1900.) LONDON, May 19.—Lord Roberts’ testi!- mony to the astonishing sobriety of his army caused considerable amusement, see- ing that every letter Tommy Atkins sends home contains a compiaint that liquor is unobtainable except at a price only the wealthy officers can pay. If Tommy gets four b:scuits and two cans of cocoa per diem in the Free State cam- paign he considere himself lucky.

Regarding Gen. Buller and his supplies, there is also an interesting anecdote cur- rent. Buller, it appears, telegraphed from Natal to some wine merchants to send out 50 cases of champagne, marked ‘castor oil.’ About the time the wine was due Buller wired to the officer in charge of the The officer at the base replied, regretting the cases had not arrived, but saying he had procured all the available castor oil, 20 cases, which he had forwarded, in the hope that it would suf- fice for the present.

PARIS, May 19.—‘‘Gyp's’’ fantastic tale of night adventures, which Kept Paris agog all last week, is now very generally dis- believed. Some details she gives about her abGuction and escape are utterly improba- ble. Others are now preved false by the police investigation. The mysterious castle where the comtesse claims she was confined has not yet been lo- cated, though the comtesse is compelled to lead the detectives personally every day. The police have a very definite theory that the hysterical aristocrat has important reasons for disguising the real objects of her night wanderings through the eccen- tric low suburbs. INTEREST IN COMING DERBY. James R. Keene’s Disguise II Is Cut- ting a Figure in the Pools. LONDON, May 19.—American interest in the Derby was stimulated this week by the excellent reports of Mr. James R. Keene's Disguise II. Those who recailed the tragic end of Tod Sloan’ mount on Holocaust in 1899. are watching with renewed interest the developments of his Keene mount this year, While the Prince of Waale’s Diamond Ju- bilee has won the distinction of being no less than a 2 for 1 favorite, and Mr, T. R. Dewars’ Forfarshire is second favorite, those looking for longer odds note with in- terest the good reports about Disguise LI. The Sportsman’s well-informed Newmarket correspondent, says to-day: “Very useful Sir Fretful was bought for 610 guineas to lead Disguise II. for the next 10 days, and more important still, the American owner of Rensselaer, J.

WANT TO QUIT SERVICE, Resignations to Escape Rainy Season in Philippines. REQUESTS ARE NOT GRANTED. ALL THE BRIGADIERS ARE ASK- ING FOR MORE MEN. The One Bright Spot in the Situation Is the General Satisfaction With Gen. McArthur. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, 1900.) HONG KONG, May 19.—More than sw American volunteer officers have handed in their resignation to escape the rainy season in the Philippines. All have been declined. Should all who wanted to resign be permitted to go, not 15 officers would be left to a regiment. Some genera! officers favor letting politl- cal appointees who were given commission for a holiday go, and the appointing of men on merit from the ranks to take their places. There is not a brigadier general who does not want reinforcements. One bright spot in the situation is the army’s delight in General McArthur’s accession and the reforms in the army administra- tion. Gen. Otis left things in a state to embarrass his successor, including the list of dead, which should have been sent in with Gen. Otis’ last report. Otis did nothing toward scotching the na- tives rsing at Manila, which long had been planned by the native leaders. The arrival of the Philippine cémmittee was intended as the signal for the simul- taneously firing of all public buildings and attacking the soldiders in all parts of the city. By prompt measures and reinforc- ing the garrison trouble was probably averted.

OUR PAVILION 13. UNSAFE American Building in Paris So Badly Built and Insecure as to Excite Grave Fears of Disaster. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright. 1900.) PARIS, May 19.—A sensation has been created here by the revelation that the American pavilion at the Paris Exposition was pronounced unsafe when tests were made last week before the inauguration, Naturally the greatest effort was made to keep this startling information within the United States commission. Strict or- ders were issued not to allow newspaper correspondents to learn it. It was because of the testing architect’s warnings that even the holders of cards of admission were not allowed inside the structure at the inaug- uration ceremonies. The American National Pavilion is a mere shell of Hght timbers, covered over with plaster. Its shape, too, renders it espe- clally dangerous, it being a huge well, around the interior of which are four super- —— galleries. Testing architects told the Inited States commission if the lower floor and galleries were allowed to be filled the whole structure would inevitably collapse toward the center and the great dome would fall on top of the heap. It was to avoid such a calamity that Sousa's band and all but a few hundred of the people invited were kept out. Since that day props have been placed under- neath, but it is said yet that when visitors are at all numerous the building quakes perceptibly. It is a standing joke among the com- missioners to ask whether to-day the wind is strong enough to blow down the United State pavilion. The United States bullding at the Paris Exposition cost $200,000. PREPARING FOR MORE WAR England Sending to the Gold Coast Enormous Quantities of War Mater- ial by Every Steamer. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, May 19.—The gravity of the situation on the gold coast is evidenced by the enomous quantities of war material] be- ing sent out by every steamer. It is stated that orders have been placed during the last few days for more htan 2,000,000 cart- ridges, besides other warlike stores. It is moreover hinted that the lords of the admiralty visited the smokeless coal mines of South Wales the other day, pre- aratory to their state purchase, so tnat ussia and France may be debarred from buying further supplies there. England, in a word, is preparing for whatever may hap- pen. CARNEGIE’S CASTLE AND COAT. British People Are Gazing Open- Mouthed at Both. LONDON, May 19.—The Highland people are wondering at the amount of steel Mr. Andrew Carnegie is using in the erection of his addition to Skibo Castle. The sleepy hollows have never before seen a building so done. All comes from Pittsburg. Skibo is now dubbed “Iron Castle.” It is said a mason m'stook the million- aire for some poor visitor and patronized him. On learn.ng his identity he excueed himself, saying he “‘ought to wear better clothes, so that people may be able to tell who you are.”’ The Tallor, a newspaper, evidently agrees with the mason, for, in a sartorial er ticism | of the clothes represented at this year’s academy, it declareg that the lapels of Mr. Carnegie’s coat were clumey, the edges very wobbly and had been forced through e ma- ehine of the worst character. -_---¢} -- —- — THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.

A SIGNIFICANT CONFERENCE. ARCHBISHOP KAIN OF ST. LOUIS AT ROME. Archbishup Ireland’s Letter to the Duke of Norfolk About the Temporal Power of the Pope. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, 1900.) ROME, May 1$%.—Archbishop Corrigan of New York, on his arrival here, was received at the station by Dr. O’Connell, rector of the American College, and several members of the higher prelature. His grace is re- siding at the Canadian College, Via Kuattro Fontane, where Archbishop Keane also stayed. Archbishop Corrigan began his official visits the day after his arrival, calling first on Secretary of State’ Rampolla, who re- ceived him all the more cordially as Car- ainal Rampolia’s sympathy with Archbishop Ireland is believed to be weakened py the latter's letter to the duke of Norfolk and his reference to the temporal power of the Pope. In fact, it is freely rumored in Vatican circles that Corrigan's elevation to a cardinalate is impending. His presence in Rome is invested with special significance by the press. The lialie, hitherto the avowed organ of Amer- icanism, is especially complimentary. Cor- rigan ignores this gossip. He goes about with Archbishop Kain of St. Louis. On Thursday the Pope granted a special audience to Archbishop Corrigan, and the Post-Dispatch correspondent obtained spe- cial detalis of the interview from a prelate attached to the pontifical court. Corrigan Was somewhat moved and nervous while waiting, but immediately resumed his usual aplomb when ushered into the presence of Leo, who smiled graciously, half rose from his chair and placed his hand affection- ately on Corrigan's shoulder as the latter knelt to kiss the fisherman’s ring. The conversation proceeced in Italian, the pope congratulating Archbishop Corrigan on the unimpeded progress of Catholicism in the archdiocese of New York. He inquired, by name, concerning the prosperity of its chief church institutions, respecting which he showed a knowledge surprising the arch- bishop. He thanked Corrigan particularly for his care of the numerous Italians in the archdiocese, Archbishop Corrigan suggested that more Italian priests be seft out, the Pope ac- quescing in the suggéstion. The Pope ex- pressed great joy at the promise of a largo Catholic-American pilgrimage to Rome this year. At one point the Pope beckoned the prel- ates present to withdraw to the end of the apartment while he conversed very earnest- ly with Corrigan for 10 minutes, The whole interview lasted &% minutes. Archbishop Corrigan firmly declined to sav anything respectung the interview, ex- cept that the Pope intimated he would re- ceiv? thim again before the next consistory on the 24th of May. Corrigan proposes to stay a month in Rome, and is making the round of the basilicas to secure the special indulgences granted for the holy year. AMERICAN eee ENGLISH AND AMERICANS AT WIESBADEN HONOR THE EMPEROR. BERLIN, May 19.—The Wiesbaden festa! week, which has become an institution of late years with the Emperor present, this time took the shape of a British and American ovation to his majesty. This was espsclally noticeable at yesterday’s flower corso, when a large number of styl- ish English ladies and some American la- dies filed past the Emperor on horseback, or in carriages. While the weather in Berlin has been bad, in Wiesbaden, since the Emperor's ar- rival there, it has been splendid. The Czar’s birthday (May 18) was celebrated to- day both here and at Wiesbaden. At the latter place there was a fine parade, a gala dinner and, afterwards, a performance of “Czar und Zimmermann” at the theater, as a delicate compliment. The minister of foreign Affairs, Count Von Buelow, and the Russian ambassador, Count Von Osten- Sacken, with the members of the — spent the day with the Emperor at h majesty’s special mvitations. This was meant to demonstrate that the relations between the Czar and Emporer William were of the best and most intimate descrip- tion. .In Berlin this forenoon divine serv- icas were conducted in the Russian chapel in honor of,the Czar and the Exnperor. Emperor William, in the meantime, has changed his plans. He will not return to Berlin before May 27. He will stay at Wiesbaden for the present and goes May % to visit his mother. Thus the German- American veterans will not have @ chance of being received im audience by his majesty. COUNT TOLSTOI ON SUICIDE He Says Death Only Changes Life’s Outward Form and Merely Short- ens Earthly Existence. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, 1900.) LONDON, May 19.—Count Tolstoi has been giving his views on the ethics of sul- cide. ‘To commit suicide,”’ he says, “is neither sensible nor moral. Life is indestruct-ble. It is not tied to time or space. Thus death can solely change its outward form and shorten existence in this world. “It has not only been given us for our pleasure, but our personal perfection, and to serve the generai welfare. All work appears in the beginning d-sagreeable. ‘Suicide is immoral. Life has been grant- ed men to die a natural death and indeed on condition that he serves the general universal peace and not that he only makes use of his life as long as it is personally agreeable to him. As long as man siill lives he can perfect himseif to serve the whole community and he serves it omy when he perfects himself more and more. WILL NOT BE VICE-PRESIDENT. Ambassador White Gays That Is One of the Things That Cannot Be. BERLIN, May 19.—The United States Ambassador, Andrew D.

DINED IN EIFFEL TOWER. COLD WEATHER HAS HURT THB PATRONAGE. %, President of France Found in the Early Morning Talking With Stonemasons as They Ate Their Breakfast. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright. 1900.) PARIS, May 19.—Half a dozen young la- dies belonging to the diplomatic set cone cluded to visit the exposition in the early morning so as to avoid the afternoon throngs. The party included Miss Porter, daughter of the American ambassador, and was under the chaperoning guidance of Princess Ourodsoff, the beautiful young wife of the Russian ambassador. At 9 a. m. the young women, coming inte & very deserted part of the grounds, still far from finished, suddenly discovered President Emile Loubet seated on a large building stone, chatting leisurely with twe lonely masons, who were eating their , breakfast from out of tin pails. The young ladies, with whom the ol4 President is a great favorite, swooped upon him in a whirl of joyous exclamations. After having shaken hands with the twe astonished workingmen, who hadn't recog- nized him, President Loubet wandered about with the fair party. Passing under the Biffel tower he sud- denly stopped, saying: “Girls, {f you promise never to tell, 1 will take you to breakfast up there. Strange as it may seem, I have never as- cended the tower yet.” The proposal was accepted quite enthu- siastically, and the party, quite alone on account of the early hour, had breakfast in the restaurant on the second platform. President Loubet was due at hia desk at 10 a. m. sharp, so he left the girls before the end of the breakfast, quietly settling for everything before going. This week has been rather dismal at the exposition. The cold wave which struck Paris kept people away ,and the paid en- tries fell to an average of 52,900 dally. Albert Spalding, whose appointment a# director of sports was hail with great joy by French sportsmen, has decided to return to America to stir up interest there. He selected Spalding de Garmendia, who !s no relative despite his name, take charge on this side. Garmendia, who waa the former American tennis champion, has now settled here permanently. o better man could be chosen on account of expert. . ence and of popularity among sportsmen ' on both sides of the Atlantic. The American machinery section at the Vincennes annex has been idle since it was inaugurated. Other sectiona there have not been finished. Visitors do not go there. An American corn kitchen has n for- mally opened. This part of our exhibits is intended to educate Europe to the many uses of corn as human food, OPPOSED TQ ANNEXATION A Member of Parliament Urges the Continued Independence of the Boer Republics. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch, (Copyright, 1900.) LONDON, May 19.—The Rt. Hon. Leone ard Courtney, M. P., has adressed 6 weighty letter to Lord Salisbury against the annexation of the Boer republics, in bes half of the South Africa conciliation come mittee. “We earnestly desire to prevent a recur rence of this war,” he writes. “We belleve this can best be secured by maintaining the internal independence of the republics, sub- ject to the fair enfranchisement of all citizens and a reduction of armaments and the submission of future disputes to arbi- tration. Only by these means shall we have’ at our backs the sympathy and support 0 a majority of the Dutch population tn Af- rica, which will constitute an opinion that no power in Africa can resist.’ TO TAX DEPARTMENT STORES. The Prussian Diet Will Exact a Tax of 20 Per Cent. BERLIN, May 19.—The Prussian Diet is about ready to pass the so-called depart- ment store bill, the Conservative and Cente rist majority having rendered the provie sions of the original government measure more severe, increasing the percentage of profits which the government will claim from the department stores to BD per cent. — - —— , THE SIMPLEST CURE FOR IN-~ DIGESTION, As Well as the Safest and Cheapest, The new medical discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food in- stead of making the worn-out stomach do all the work, give it a much needed rest, | and a cure of dyspepsia is the natu result. You get nourishment and rest at t same time because these Tablets wi thoroughly digest all wholesome food taken into the stomach whether the stom- ach works or not. A cure is certain to result because the digestive organs are given a chance to rest and recover their natural vigor and tone. The Tablets are then no longer required. To show the manner in which the rem. edy acts on different people and how' quickly and effectually it cures stomach troubles we present a few recent cases. Mr. J. O. Wondly of Peoria. IIL writes: I was unable to eat anything but the: plainest food, and even that often dis-' tressed me, but since using one box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, I can eat anything and everything I want. — Mrs. Samuel eppie of Girty, writes: I have been entirely reliewed my stomach troubles by your Tablets. I suffered three years with sour st and gas at night. I am thankful for them, Mrs. A. E. Bowen, Bar I think Stuart's Dyspepsia the best thing for dyspepsia I ever took.

Gilllatt, that forlorn, wonderful creation of Hugo, never had stranger adventures than Hurley. For 20 years he worked in a world of. eubterranean. wonders. Fierce denizens of the sea have brushed against his diving armor. 2 Yet the two greatest dangers of his ad- ee life came from inanimate ob- ects. Hurley calmly tells of his efforts to es- cape the wheels after he fell beneath the train last week. But he shudders and speaks with quickening breath when he re- lates the story of his efforts to free himself from a giant growth of sponge off the Florida coast three years ago. “I Was master diver in Brown's pearl fieet,”” Hurley said Saturday, in telling of his adventure. ‘‘We had worked through the warm waters of the gulf and our @eck was stinking from the n.ass of oysters that had passed over the thon table.

Although physicians have known for years that catarrh was not a local dis- ease but a constitutional or blood disor- der, yet the mass of the people still con- tinue to believe it is simply a local trou- ble and try to cure it with purely local remedies, like powders, snuffs, ointments and inhalers. : These local remedies, if they accom- plish anything et all, simply give a very temporary relief and it is doubtful if a permanent cure of catarrh has ever been accomplished by local sprays, washes and | inhalers. They may clear the mucous membrane from the excessive secretion but it returns in a few hours as bad as ever, and the result can hardly be other- ‘ ; wise because the blood is loaded with | catarrhal poison and it requires no argu- ment to convince anyone that local washes and sprays have absolutely no effect on the blood. Dr. Ainsworth since discontinued the use of sprays and washes for catarrh of head and throat, because they simply relieve and do not cure. “For some time past I have used only one treatment for all forms of and the results have been uniformly good: the remedy : Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a pleasant and harmless preparation sold by at 50 cents, en one package of Stuart’s Catarrh Tab- lets to be worth a dozen local treatments. The tablets are composed of Hydras- tin, Sanguinaria, Red Gum. Guaiacol and other safe antiseptics and any ca- tarrh sufferer can use them with ful] as- surance that they contain no poisonous opiates and that they are the most rea- sonable and successful treatment for rad- ical cure of catarrh at present known to the profession.” | Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant tasting 20 grain lozenges, to be dissolved in the mouth, and reach the delicate membranes of throat and ys: “I have long _ trachea, and immediately relieve any ir- ritation, while their final action on the removes the catarrhal poison from the whole system.

Impassioned Speeches Were Made by Several Noted Ministers Against Autocracy of the Church Dignitaries. CHICAGO, May 19.—The Methodist gen- eral conference is in a deadlock over the election of two members of the Episcopacy, three more ballots having been taken to- day with result. The last ballot announced, however, showed evidences of a landslide for a candidate hitherto prominent in the balloting, Dr. E, V. Neely of Philadelphia, who almost stampeded the conference by a powerful speech on the life tenure of the Episcopacy. A message of fraternal greeting from the Presbyterian general assembly, in session at Louls, was read . 0be- fore the general conference at the opening of the session to-day. After transaction of some minor rou- business the result of the ninta peat for bisheps was announced as foil- ows: J. F. Berry, 37; H. Spellmeyer, 345; D. H. Moore, 293; J. W. Hamilton, 258; T. 3B. Neeley, 39; C. J. Little, 15. Others from 1 St. Some surprise was caused by the big fall- ing off in Dr. Spe Imeyer’s vote, which again ut him in second place in the balloting. he conference then proceeded to cast the tenth ballot. The rules were then suspended to hear the report of the committee on episcopacy presented by Dr. Buckley on the question of retaining the title of ‘‘missionary bish- ops,”’ favoring the retention. It was adopted. The committee also reported in favor of the election of another missionary bishcp for Eastern Asia, his work to embrace China, Japan and Corea. Over this report unexpectedly developed one of the most in- teresting debates of the conference involv- ing the question of life tenure of bishops. Gov. Shaw spoke in favor of limiting the term of missionary bishops to eight years. Dr. T. B. Neely of Philadelphia was recog- nized, and in one of the most impassioned speeches so far heard in the conference, favored the report. ‘‘This will be a histor- ical day In this conference,”’ he said. He favored having the bishops stay on the field and protested against the idea of life tenure in the episcopacy. ‘I believe every bishop here is subject to the command of the con- ference when in session.” continued Dr. Neely. “I may never. have another oppor- tunity to express myself on this subject, and do so now. It is not a third order. A bishop who does not treat his brethren as brethren is an autocrat. It sometimes fs necessary to remove a man, and the genera] conference has absolute power io do so for 9 i ee unfeasance, or no feasance a a oe Dr. Neely’s speech was taken as a pro- test against the excessive reverence for the episcopacy, and when the Philadelphia di- vine finally sat down he was greeted with Ernsseees handelapping and.waving of andkerchiefs. Dr. Hiram W. Lowrey of North China made a plea for a general superintendent for that country, with an episcopal resi- dence there, instead of a missionary bishop. Dr. J. F. Thompson of South America followed in the same line. Said he: ‘“‘This is the second time that my annual conference has commissioned me to ask the genera! conf*rence not to inflict upon us what we consider a calamity—a missionary bishop.” Mashovoshi Takaki of Tokio also opposed the sending of another missionary bishop to Eastern Asia. Pending action a motion to recommit. the tenth hallot was announced as follows: J F’". Berry, 337: H. Spellmeyer, 298; ' Moore, 288; J. W. Hamilton, 287; L. B. ? ' 67: E. J. Little, 16. Others from 1 to 9 each The eleventh ballot was then taken. Mr. Buckley then senoke itn defense of the committee report. After further brief de- bate a motion to lay the repart on the ta- ble was adopted, the conference thus bow- to the protests of the foreign dele- iscussion of the report of the commit- » on itineracy, which was presented ves- y, was then resumed. Frank A. Arter of the East Ohio conferenre spoke in sup- port of the majority report, favoring uncon- ditional abolition of the time limit. The eleventh ballot was then announced as follows: J. F. Berry, 310: J. W. tHam'l- ton, 281; D. H. Moore, 26: H. Spellmever, 239: E. V. Neelv, 193; E. J. Little, 19. Oihers from 1 to 8 votes. Dr. Neely’s eloquent speech had appar- twelfth ballot, which followed immediately, wre taken amid considerable confusion. Dr. J. R. Day of Syracuse University then took the platform in swpport of the majority report of the committee on itin- eracy. Dr. George H. Bridgman, president of Hamliet University, and Gov. Shaw of Iowa also spoke in favor of the majority report. Debate on the report was continued until after 1 o’clock, when the 12th ballot Berry, 296; . Spellmeyer, 181; J. R. Day, 23; EB. J. Little, 22. Following the announcement an attempt was made to indefinitely postpone further balloting for bishops, but in the midst of an uproar the motion was voted down, and at 1:15 p. m. the conference adjourned for the day. The Methodist Church will not, if the re- port of its committee is accepted by the general conference, alter its position toward playing cards, dancing and certain other amusements. The amusement question is settled so far as the committee on the state of the church is concerned. By a vote of 45 to 4 the committee yesterday decided to recommend that the section of prohibited amusements be taken out and a new section be inserted in the chapter on advices. The paragraph to be inserted is as folows: ‘Our church has, from the béginning of its history, insisted that dancing, playing at games of chance, attending theaters, horse races, dancing parties, circuses or patronizing dancing schools and other amusements which can not be used in the name of the Lord Jesus, are perilous to the spiritual life and influence of the members of our church and enervating to the spir- itual power of the church in the great work of saving souls. The tendency in social cir- cles toward amuSements Was never stronger that it is at the present time, and there- fore we deem it wise to reaffirm our his- toric attitude on this subject and urge our people to abstain from amd bear their un- wavering ties against all amusements and diversions which endanger Christian life and repress the spiritual power of the church. This advice must not be inter- preted as waving the church’s right to call to account any member who continues to indulge in these daiversions which can not be used in the naine of the Lord Jesus.” THEY HAVE BEEN “FORGIVEN William W.

Its object was to educate the immigrants from for- eign shores, who, at that time, were com- ing in great numbers to the United States to escape the tyranny and oppression to which they were subjected in the old coun- tries. It was also intended to educate these im- migrants and elevtate their moral standard so that they might be good citizens of their adopted land. The growth of the order was rapid, until at the present day it numbers over 25,000 members in the United @tates. Sore fifteen years ago the order was ex- tended to Germany and Austria, which comprised districts No. 8 and 9, and later still, a 10th district was organized in Rou- mania which extends its jurisdiction and nas established lodges as far Last as Jeru- salem in the Holy wand. The purposes oc the organization are phil- anthropic and benevolent, and has es- tablished throughout thim country orphan asylums, homes for the &ged and infirm, hospitals and other institutions for the ben- efit of suffering humanity. The officers of the grand lodge which will hold its session at the Southern Hotel during the next three days are: Samuel Bowman of St. Louis, president; Hon. Mar- cus R. Sulzer of Madison, Ind., first vice- president; Charles Goldsmith of Louisville, second vice-president; Victor Abraham of Cincinnati, secretary, and Morris Bauer of Cincinnati, treasurer. Among the members who will be present are: Phil W. Frey of Evansville, a lawyer and a past president of the order; Meyer Friedman of Denver, who preceded Mr. Bowman as president of the district; Mar- tin A. Marks of Cleveland, who is treasurer of the endownment fund; Jacob Furth of St. Louis, who is chairman of the endown- es fund and vice-president of the entire order. Dr. 8S. Wolfenstein, superintendent of the Jewish Orphan Asylum of Cleveland, which is one of the Institutions of the order, and shelters, rears and educates not less than 500 orphans at any time, is also one of the prominent delegates and will be given a re- ception by William Stix at his residence on Tuesday even‘ng. The endowment fund of this district has within the past 26 years paid out aver $1,- 090.000 to the widows and orphans of de- ceased members and has now a surplus fund on hand of over $386,000, thus inaking it the strongest fund for the protecticn of its members of any fraternal organizat‘on in this country. An elaborate programme of entertainment has been mapped out for the guesis hy the local committee, and this will inelude a banquet and bal] at :he Columbian tub, a carriage drive on Monday evening, throngh the residence portion of the city and Shaw’s Garden, winding up at (Cherokee Garden where supper will be served; on Tuesday afternoon the ladies accompanying the delegates will be entertained at a whist at the Columbian Club by the local ladies’ ORDERED A HAT ON BAUMHOFF.

SIDE “FEEL ASSURED, Lively Contest Promised at the Democratic Primaries. IT IS MR. BRADY VS. HAWES. STRIKE SITUATION MAY HAVE AN IMPORTANT EFFECT. Changes Made in the Delegations in Various Wards Shows the Interest That Is Being Taken by Both Sides. Interest in local Democratic circles is con- fined almost exclusively just now to the primaries of that party which will be held next Saturday. Before the strike was inaugurated it was generally admitted thatthe battle at the polls between the Hawes-Butler and the Lemp-Brady factions of the loca] Democracy would be one of the most hotly contested political struggles that this city has seen for years. Now that the strike is on the primaries promise to be even more exciting. Not one of the strikers or their Sympathizers, who is duiy registered, will miss his chance to vote and, ali together, their baiiots promise to cut an important figure in ihe general result. There are only five wards in which there will be no contests. These are the Filth, Fourteenth, Twenty-fourth, Twenty-fitth and Twenty-seventh. In each of the other “3 there wiil be a battle royal. The Jefter- son Club organization has a :icket in the field in each ward, and will make desperate efforts to elect it over those put forih by the Bradys and their co-workers. Charley Lemp has charge of his side's fight in the 6.x Wards in the southern end of town. Pitted against him as Police Commissioner Tony Stuever. Particulariy warm times are looked forward to in this section next Sat- urday. W. A. Brandenburger, the ousted treas- urer of the Jefferson Club, has the cam- paign against his old associates in hand in the Thirteenth Ward and in other sec- tions of the city, the Brady-Lemp forces Will be managed by Hugh and Ben Brady, Douglas Crothers, Andy Blong and Tom Barrett. Yhe Hawes-Butler faction has trusted lieutenants in each ward, including the various Stephens appointees and the Jeff- erson Club leaders, as well as Col. Ed But- ler and his sons, James J. and John R. Butler, The extent of the feeling in the diffgent wards regarding the coming primaries is evident from the number of changes and withdrawals that have been made since the de.egations were originally filled. Lead- ers on each side are making strenuous efforts to cause desertions from the ene- my’s standard. Mr. Brandenburger took the efforts to rally some of his supporters under the Hawes@ -utler Banner seriously enough to write tue following to the board of elec- tion commissioners in substituting an al- most new delegation for the one he had previously filed: “Owing to the great pressure brougnt to bear on some of the delegates, judges and clerks and watchers on the straight Dock- ery delegation in the Thirteenth Ward by parties, who, from promises and threats used, leave no doubt in mind that they are the agents and accomplices of Harry B. Hawes, it will be epee A for me to request several changes in the names I originally filed.’’ Mr. Brandenburger withdrew the names of George Cully, John Walsh, Dan Leahy and J. F. Dockery and substituted Berry Moore, W. P. Carr, Luke H. Hite and Lawrence Maddox. The first four men named also wrote letters withdrawing. The following other changes in the del- egations from other wards were also made: Fourth Ward—John A. Sheridan substi- tuted for Thomas Kelly on the straight Dockery delegation. Harry Gershon and C. P. Williams substituted for John R. Manning and C. . Schraps on the regu- lar Dockery delegation. Mr. Schraps pleaded illness in his letter to the commis- sioners.

Ceremonies in Representative Hall Witnessed by a Large Con- course of People. WASHINGTON, May 19.—The statue of Gen. Grant, presented by the G. A. R. to the nation, was unveiled in the great ro- tunda of the Capitol to-day amd elaborate ceremonies commemorative of the event were held in the Hall of Representatives in the presence of a vast concourse of peo- ple, who included the widow, daughter and descendants of the hero of Appomattox, hundreds of his comrades in arms, the of- ficers and committee of the G. A. R. and many persons distinguished in military, po- litical and social circles. The statute of the pre-eminent chief of the Union forces in the Civil War represents the contribu- tions of thousands of his comrades of the G. A. R., none of whom was allowed to subscribe more than’15 cents and is the result of a movement started shortly after Gen Grant’s death at McGregor, in July, 1885. It is the work of Franklin Simmons, an American sculptor. Of marble of he- roic size, it stands on a granite pedestal emblazoned with a bronze seal of the G. . R., representing the grim old hero in full uniform of a general equipped for the field with top boots and gauntlets, his cloak over his left arm and his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword. The coun- terfeits of statesmen, soldiers and pioneers in marble and bronze adorn the old House of Representatives chamber of the capitol’ now Statuary Hall, but these are gifts of individual states. Grant’s statute was un- veiled in the rotunda as befitted the statue of one whose valiant service was for the whole nation. There it will remain with the statutes of Jefferson, Hamilton and Lincoln, which also are in the rotunda, an example and an inspiration to future gen- erations. The hero of Appomattox stands mear the western entrance, flanked on either side by the famous paintings of the “Surrender of Cornwallis’ and the ‘“‘Surren- der of Burgoyne.’’ The unveiling took place shortly before noon in the presence of Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Sartoris, Miss Sartor's, the officers of the G. A. R., Speaker Henderson and Senator Frye, president pro tem of the Senate. The fact of the unveiling was kept secret and only a few outsiders witnessed it. There were no ceremonies. Miss Sartoris attired in white drew the lanyard that uncovered the statue. Mrs. Grant inspected it official- ly and smiled her approval. The party then repaired to the hall of the House, where the ceremonies occurred. TO BE HELD IN WASHINGTON. National Conference of Charities and Corrections Is Set for May, 1901.

EULOGIES IN THE SENATE. dint and Forceful Speeches De- livered by Senators Vest, Cockrell, Hoar and Others. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 19.—The Senate de- voted two hours this afternoon to the ac- ceptance of the statues of Thomas Hart Benton and Francis Preston Blair, which for more than a year have-occupled places to Missouri's representatives in the hall of fame. Early in the session to-day Senator Cock- rell called up the resolutions accepting on behalf of the United States the statues of Benton and Blair presented by Missouri. After Gov. Stephens’ letter of presenta- tion was read, speeches of eulogy were made by Senators Vest, Cockrell and Hoar Senator Vest spoke for oné hour.

All this now sounds barbarous, but if we carry ourselves back to the time when it occurred it will charitably be admitted that, the opinions he did, Benton could hardly have acted differentiy. Duel- ing then was an institution. All the dis- tinguished men of the United States fought duels.” In conclusion Mr. Vest said: “Benton was mot a Southern Democrat; he was a nation- al Democrat. He appreciated more thor- oughly than any man of his era the possi- bilities of that vast country west of the Mississippi, destined to become the seat of empire upon this continent. I heard him, at a little town on the Missouri River, ad- vancing with his right arm extended to the East, Jeslare with the tone of an ancient prophet, ‘There is the East, but here 18 the road of empire.’ His statue in Forest Park, St. Louis, béars upon the pedestal this prophetic statement. e declared, and men then laughed at him, that thig con- tinent would bound together by bands of iron, to carry our produce to the Pacific i slope to meet the necessities of innumerable millions in Asia and the Orient. ‘‘Benton’s political mantle fell,- logically and inevitably, upon the shoulders of Frank P. Blair. ut for Blair, Missour! would have given her solid military between | strength to the Southern cause; and the re- sult of the war might have been different but for the promptness with which Blair acted. Blair had bitter enemies, like all men of positive convictions, but even these enemies never doubted his sincerity, but re- spected it because he was open, fair, fear- less and true “Benton and Blair sleep together on Mis- souri soil, almost side by side, and so long as this Capitol shall stand, or this nation exist, their statues will be eloquent and ‘eternal witnesses to the greatness of Mis- Benton con-'! souri and her chosen sons.’ Mr. Cockrell did not speak, owing to lack of time, but in his written eulogy he said of Benton. “He was a close, laborious and constant student from boyhood to his death, and ac- quired and pessessed a greater fund of in- formation and knowledge, general and his- torical, than any statesman of our country, from which he drew largely in his discus- sions of all questions. Apace with his in- creasing years he grew in knowledge and foresight, and in his uncompromising de- | vction to what he honestly believed to be ithe best interests of our common country and the toiling millions ef our people and was the friend of the people. Believing he was right, he never stopped to count the strona of his opposition, but moved to the attack with unyielding determination and force.” As to Mr. Blair, Mr. Cockreil said: “His greatest prescience and force of character were made manifest when the lowering clouds of the Civil war portended a dissolution of the Union. Equally with Jacxyson and Benton uncompromising in his devotion to the Union and in opposition to nullification or secession, he foresaw plainly that war was inevitable. “We was open, frank, bold and aggres- sive in the expression of his views and the advocacy of his principles, whether popular or chnoxtous at the time, and yet so tem- pered them with geniality and magnanim- ity that few could keep from adnuring him, and few, indeed, were his personal enemies.” B Mr. Vest was followed by Senators Cock- rell and Hoar. Senator Hoat sald in part. “The whole country approves the cholce of Missouri. When the figure of Benton Is unvelled the genius of Missouri—rather, the enius of the West—has come. He Is the ast and among his peers, the representa- tive, the embodiment, of a great history. “Missouri did well that she waited nearly half a century after his death before elect- scalp diseases and forcing a new growth of | old ‘ing him to the greater and perpetual Sen- which is to sit forever in yonder chamber. It would be well if this examp-e were always followed. No party spirit, no influence or friendship, no mere per- sonal gratitude, no temporary or fleeting opularity has influenced the choice. We cnow now what manner of man Missouri delighted to honor and what manner of man the American people delight to honor, “Thomas H. Benton was a sturdy and courageous chamoion. He understood, as no other man ever understood, the inter- est of the great West. He is, beyond all question, without competitor or rival down to this moment, the foremost statesman of the states beyond the Mississippi. “He loved Missouri. He loved the West. He loved the South. From his coming into public life, indeed, from his first com ng to manhood, there was scarcely a pulsation of the popular western heart which he did not share. Yet when the time came for him to choose between office, party, his State, pop- ularity, the love of old friends and com- panions, influence, power, the master pas- sions of his soul, as it seemed, on the one hand. and freedom and country upon the otrber he d'd not hesitate In the choice. “This {js the character which the great ate, Missouri, speaking through her aon and honored senators, gives to the American people to-day. Certainly Massa- 'chusetts feels herself and her great chil- dren of the days of the Puritan and the davs of the Revolution honored by the com- panionship. Sam Adams, if need be, will draw a thought more nigh to John W'n- throp to make room for him. Webster will greet his old antagonist. The marble lips of Charles Sumner. whom Benton welcomed in the Senate fn 1851, wll return the greet- ing now from yonder stately ante-cham- ber. The old strifes are sorgessee Tho differences have vanished. ut the love of Nberty. the love of justice, the love of | national honor, the spirit that prizes liberty land justice and honor above gain or trade ‘or empire—the spirit of this great states- 'man of the West—abides and shall abide | forever.’ GARMENT WORKERS TO STRIKE | Unions Resolve to Go Out If a General Strike Shall Be Called. tnited Garment Workers’ Unions Nos, % and 10, at a meeting held Saturday night, decided to go out om a general strike ff a call is issued by the executive boards of the Building Trades Council, Central Trades and Labor Union and the Street Car Em- ployes’ Union.

WHAT LEADING MINISTERS SAY. ‘OPINIONS PRO AND CON FROM COMMISSIONERS. Overture Is in a Committee’s Hands, but Report on It Has Been With- held So Far—At Satur- day’s Session. The question of creed revision was intro- duced in the 112th General Assembly of thé _ Presbyterian Church, now meeting in the | Washington end Compton Avenue Church, | afternoon’s session. just before the hour of closing of Friday It was brought up in @ way that made it an open question wheth- er the creed of the Presbyterian Church should be left as it is, amended or shelved | to make way for a short evangelical state- i i ’ ' ment or brief summary of the doctrines em- bodied in the church’s standards for gen- eral use. Probably not a third of the commissioners , in the church at the time or a dozen vis- | ftors in the gallery knew the possibilities . that were bound up in a loose package of Papers held in the hand of Dr. Sample, chairman of the committee on bills and ‘ overtures, when he said: ; “The committee desires to consider the ' overture on the matter of revision of the creed and will .keep these papers.’ The question has slumbered ever since, Same of the prominent ministers in at- tendance on the General Assembly were in- ——eEee 'that overtures SW epninater confession, whether from our ts or from any of our scholars. My reason is that s statements are quiie apt to alarm the church, and in the erd the effort to revise or modify the confession would resuit in failure. Had there been more tgmperate discussion during the last aitemr§ at revision it might have succeeded, but it“is too late now to hope for success. I do not a with Dr. Parkhurst of New York that the confession is keeving men out the church, or that it is driving them out of the church. I think that an honest man may remain in a Presbyierian pulpit and yet not subscribe to every statement of the confession. It is only expected that he shal] subscribe to the substance of it, asa a eable to holy scripture. The Bible is placed above the confession.” Rev. Dr. David Gregg of New York, when he said “The Presbyterian Church needs a new and simple creed,” voiced the sentiments of other clergymen and lay members who composed the group standing in the vestibule of the church. Rev. Dr. John Carson of New York said: ‘There is an aggressive work now going on which should not be sidetracked. accept the confession as a system, but I abhor some statements in it. The doc- trine of reprobation is not scriptural.” Dr. Joseph D. Burrell of Brooklyn said: ‘There is no duobt that a majority of members of the Presbyterian Church to- day desire a revision of the confession.” The following are samples of sections of the confession of faith to which exception is taken: “Elect infants, dying in infancy, are re- generated and saved by Christ through the Spirit, who worketh when and how and where he pleaseth. So, also, are all the other elect persons, who are capable of be- ing outwardly called by the ministry of the word.’’ “By the decree of God, for the manifesta- tion of his glory some men and angels are predestined unto everlasting life, and oth- ers foreordained to everlasting death.’’ ‘These angels and men, thus predestined and foreordained are particularly and un- | changeably designed, and their number Js —_— _— IAC MGIFFERT.

She asked co-operation of the as- sembly in work in San Francisco and other points in America and in the foreign fields. The moderator, Dr. H. C. Bird, responded to the fraternal] greetings. MODLAH TEMPLE GUING EAST Large Party of Shriners Leave for Washington This Morning With Plenty of “Zim Zim.” Moolah Temple, Mystic Shriners of St. Louis, will send a large delegation to Wash- ington to attend the annual conclave of the order which will open in Washington to- morrow. A delegation of nearly 10,including Shrin- ers and their wives and families, will leave St. Louis this morning on a special train over the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern road. The train consists of four sleepers and a commissary car well stocked with ‘zim zim.’ At Cineinnati the party will be jained by 100 members of Zyrim Tem- ple of that city. Moolah Temple will take with it the fam- ous Arab Patrol, a military organization comprising 27 well drilled members under command of Col. C, A. Sinclair of the F.rst Regiment, N. G. M. It is expected that the patrol will win all the pee in the drill Content, which will be a feature of the con- ciave, The St. Louis party will be headed by II- lustriaus Potentate George T.

It developed from twenty-five or thirty resbyteries ask fer varied Hines of action. some desire a revison of the Westminster confession of faith, others ask fur a new creed, some would like to have the old creed revised and a new doctrinal state- Quent added. But it is understood that a majority of the overtures ask only that the question of a revision\or a new siatement of the confession of the church shail be considered, leaving the assemably free ty aetermine what form of action, if any, it 6hail take. ev. Dr. W. C. Gray of Chicago said: ‘“Iimtil within a few days past I discour- @zged any movement at this time toward @ restatement or modification of our faith Standards, because such discussions have @ tendency to attract attention from the practical work of the church, But very recent events have produced a- profound . impression among the people and have al- | fo greatly added to the embarrassment to which Presbyterian ministers, elders and tinembers are «subjected by certain state- ments in the confession. So now I believe. it is -our duty to consider the question, | 1 would advocate a movement to substitute ua brief evangelical creed of the Presby- | terlan type of thought and expression, to | which alone ministers and elders shall be | required to subscribe rather than the whole confession of faith as it stands. The brief summary of doctrine of the Presby- terian Church of England is the model which may be considered and adopted.” Asked about the Dr. Hillis incident and {ts bearing on the apparent demand for a revision of the creed, Dr. Gray said that he did ‘not think that the Hiilis incident created a demand for a brief creed, but 4t revealed a deerree of misunderstanding and confliction that needs clearing up.” Rey. Dr. William’ R. Henderson of Chi- cago said: “The Westminster confession is not the product of the Presbyterian Church. It is nonsense to talk about revis- ing it. IT am opposed both to revision of th confession and a new ¢reed, not- subseribe to it let them t and adept such a system of faith as con- forms to their views. The Westminster confession is, in my Opinion, the most logic- al, coherent and wonderful tract that ever ¢manated from a body of men. It has its faults, as all human products have; the doctrinal sevstem disclosed becaase it is founded on the E therefore, cannot be otherwise. for the soverelenty of God and . dom of,.man and the Presbyterian Church etands for the same doctrines.”’ Rev. Dr. Herrick Johnson is the author of a serics of resolutions on the subject, which, it is expected, will be brought forth at the proper time for the consideration of the assembly. The resolutions are as fol- lows: “In view of the widespread misunder- etanding of what the things are that are most surely belleved by our beloved Pres- byterian Church, and “Iq view of the archale forms in which some of the doctrines of our church have expression in the historic confession of faith, and “In view of the gross misrepresentations of our faith that claim to find their justi- fication in these existing forms, “We, the presbytery of Chicago, do over- ture the general assembly to appoint a committee to take into consideration this whole matter of @ restatement of our doc- rt to the next udgment on this xander of Philade!l- ly deprecate ail _ | | { is ;mands made upon it = / i lit . i) r ; ~ ae , VA/ r ey « . | f j . >> J , y . | ~ % / J : , Py - ‘ . . : fi j , A * ‘ r . z / ‘ 4.0% | \ \\F 4 ’ Se ee .* ~ ‘“s P . , th TLL, Na . } 4 a a « . ,e¢@ | v* = aS : i —_, REVDRC. 5.

B. L. Agnew, ‘D.

Adams of the United States Circuit Court issued a preliminary injunction yesterday afternoon restraining the strike leaders and all other persons from in any manner directly or indirectly interfering with the running of mail cars operated on the lines of the St. Mouls in the city of St. Louis and Louts County. Each of the 30 defendants named is prom- inently connected with the St. Louis Street Railway Employes’ Union. They are commanded to appear before Judge Adams May 2% to show cause why the injunction should not be made perma- nent. Judge Adams acted upon a bill of com- ' plaint presented to him yesterday morning ' by United States District Attorney Rozier, fin which numerous allegations were made ta the effect that the “defendants and oth- ers confederating with them had, by cut- ting wires, obstructing the street car tracks and injuring the property of the St. Louis Transit Co, seriously delayed, and in sev- eral instances, completely stopped the Unit- éd States railway postal cars.”’ The original complaint was preferred to the district attorney by Postmaster Baum- hoff several days ago. This was supple- mented yesterday by the affidavits of the follewing persons who are identified with the St. Louis postoffice: J. Harry Bracken, private secretary to the Postmaster; George B. Stoupe, superin- tendent of the city distributing department; &. G. Rehms, superintendent of the inquiry division; A. Boffiner, Ben Schnurmacher, F. A. Doyle and Thomas Cooper, who are employed as railway clerks. The order emanating from Judge Adams fs sweeping in its scope. Practically, it prohibits any interference with the cars of the St. Louis Transit Co. which may in anywise prevent the prompt operation of the mail cars. The United States marsha] is directed to post the substance of the order and the names of those against whom it is specific- ally issued at all of the power houses of the St. Louls Transit Co. and at other conspicuous places along the lines of the transit company. Here is the full text of the injunction: In the Circuit Court of the United States of America, in and for the Eastern Di!- vision of the Eastern Judicial District of Missourt: Comes now the United States of America, by E.

The Laclede avenue and Olive street lines are practically the only ones on which mail cars are not operated. Postmaster Baumhoff was the effect of the injunction. “It simply means,” he said, “that we will have ample protection in the running of the mail cars, and will not be subjected to inconveniences we have experienced in the past. “Interference with asked about the mail cars had | grown so bold and effective as to practic- ‘Saturday night only six ally, in some instances, suspend their oper- ation. ‘On the Grand avenue circuit south seven mail cars should be run daily, but since last cars altogether have been able to run, and they have made only partial trips.

He was hustled into a patrol wagon and compelled to “‘ride’’ ta the Four Courts very much against his wishes. The driver of the wagon, however, lessened his humiliation by declaring that the vehicle was a union affair. —_—_@ —__—- EVERY HOUSE IS A KOPIE Men Lie in Wait on Roofs Ready to Hurl Stones at ’assing Trolley Cars.

Mr. Holtkamp had made ag lengthy speech reciting his reasons for opposing the meas- ure. Lehman warmiy championed the bill. He espoused the cause of the poor man, the working man, the union man.

Both the employes and the officials of the St. Louis & Suburban Railway Co. are now apparently satisfied that all differences between the men and the management will be amicably adjusted. It was authori- tatively stated last night that Scott H. Blewett and H. W. Stelnbiss, who had been charged with the duty of selecting a third arbitrator, had selected a man who, it was said, would be equally acceptable to both parties to the controversy. It was deemed advisable that the name of this third arbitrator should not be given out until he had signified his willingness to serve as requested. No doubt is enter- tained that he will consent to act. The positive statement of Manager Jen- kins that he had not violated either the spirit or the letter of his agreement with the men since their reinstatement was re- iterated yesterday afternoon when he met President Mahon at the offiec of Harry B.

Twenty-eight unions were in the column, whose head lapped its end before the two miles of its route had been covered. The strfking street railway employes, who mus- tered nearly 3400, were the feature of the parade and the heroes of Labor's tribute. Excitement was rampant all along the Hne of march. There seemed to be as many tollers on the sidewalks as there were in the proces:$n.

LENGTHY LEGAL BATTLES’ END WILLIE MAY EDWARDS RE- STORED TO HAPPINESS. Father and Mother Being Separated, the Paternal Grandfather Sued for the Little Girl’s Custody. There is not a happier woman in al! St Iouls to-day than Mrs. P. Ed- wards of 3426 Pine street. After two years of continuous litigation in the courts of two states, she has final- ly established her right to of her 10-year-old daughter, Jessie the possession Willie May. And the child, the innocent cause of the | fdessie P Eowaros “ 9) He MOTHER passionate legal minds might have been dis- couraged by a doubt. Mrs. Edwards belongs to that type of woman which attracts attention by impos- ing appearance. She Is tall and gracefully formed. Her hair is as yellow as the gun in the morning and her complexion is a pleasing combination of pink and white. She is an undeniable pretty woman and her appearnce in court at the various trials | which she has figured as a principal has al- ways been attended by a flutter of excite- ment among the spectatore. Willie May, the child, is the antithesis of her mother in appearance. Her hair and eyes are as black as midnight and her skin dark. She is a perfect likeness of her father, for whom she has 6hown little gf- fection since she has been with her mother in St. Louis. She is intelligent beyond her years and her love for her mother is the deepest passion of her life. Harry L. Edwards, who has been the moving spirit in the litigation against Mrs. Edwards, claims newspaper man and. says he ‘s interested in a publi- is all to be a Mrs. Edwards and the child fainted when | they were separated. But the mother soon rerovered and sought out her attorneys, John M. Holmes and E. G. Goldsmith. She petitioned them to take further steps to prevent the child being taken from her. | They informed her that no appeal lay | from a habeas corpus judgment in Missou- ri. and that an effort to secure a writ from | the Court of Appeals would probably be frultiess, and would entail a useless ex- penditure of money. But it was not a question of dollars with the mother. Her attorneys admitte! that there was a chance, and that was enough for her even though itt was infinitessimal. She directed her attorneys to proc2ed with- out regard for the hopeless features of the Case, She went with them to the home of Judge Bond of the Court of Appeals. They laid the caae before him, and he its- sued a writ returnable Tuesday morning. That was late in the evening, and as the Street cars were not running, it was nec- essary to drive to Kirkwood where Dr. Ed- wards had arranged to boaed the train with the child. The driver was ordered to lash his horses to their full speed, but even at that the journey to Kirkwood seemed slow. After a long, hard drive, the little rail- road station at Kirkwood was reached just as the train was preparing to leave.

He has inaugu- many women do not possess shares the hap- piness of her mother. For the first time in many months, she laughs and plays with that freedom and light-heartedness which are of the essence childhood, and her joy much sweeter _for the sorrow she has known. Mother and child have now what they . have longed for, prayed for through the weary months of their misfortune—the priv- llege and pleasure of enjoying without mo- lestation the companionship and love of each other. When the St. Louis Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that Mrs. Edwards was the Proper custodian of Willie May, it finally settled the question of possession, and, as long as the present circumstances exist in the case, the judgment of the court wil! not be changed. From the beginning of the litigation. the affection Mrs. Edwards showed for her child won for her the admiration of all who chanced to observe it. It was so clearly sincere, so motherly in all its little details, so tender in sorrow and 80 jubilant in joy, that there was no one to say that Mrs. Edwards did not love her child in a proper degree. The fight for the custody of Willie May was a long and bitter one, but Mrs. Ed- Wards was firm and patient at every stage and, with that eternal confidence which only a mother’s love can eustain when the interest of her child is at Stake, she never lost hope even in the darkest hour. When the decree of one court had gone against her and she had been ordered to deliver her child into comparatively strange hands, the situation was dark enough to dis- courage strong hearts. But Mrs. Edwards did not falter in her fight. She urged her lawyers to the last step. They took it and won. It was her mother's love that turned a crisis into a triumph, and the impulse of it that caw a way where dis- is rated several large business enterprises in Texas and Mexico within the last few years. His father Dr. A. T. Bdwards of Wilbarger County, Texas. The father is a physician of prominence and is presi- dent of the Texas State Medical Society. The fight for the custedy of Willie May began shortly after the separation of Mrs. Kdwards and her husband in 1898. Edwards demanded the custody of the child who had been with her mother continuously since the separation, and, upon his demand be- ing refused, he applied to the district court of Fourt Worth, Tex., for a writ of habeas corpus. Mrs. Edwards moved to St. Louis. her mother and sister were living the simmons in this suit could be on herr. She is an expert milliner and soon found employment with a large wholesale house. Kdwards followed her in a few months and, after locating her in this city, applied to Judge Selden P. Spencer for a writ of habeas corpus awarding him the child. He claimed that Mrs. Edwards was not a fit custodian, but, upon the hearing, Judge Spencer declared that Edwards had not mae his case, and the custody of the child was continued in her mother. Ewards returned to St. ‘Louis in May, 1899, and filed another petition for a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Withrow. After: a hearing which lasted several days, Judge Withrow awatded the child to Mrs. Kxiwards upon condition that her conduct for the ensuing year would be entirely proper. The following December, Edwards ap- peared in court again and asked to have the case reopened on the ground that Mrs. Edwards had violated some of the con- ditions imposed on her by Judge Withrow, The reopening was allowed and several days during January were occupied with the hearing of testimony. Before all the evidence was in, Dr. in court and filed a petitton be awarded the child. The decision of i8 where before served Edwards appeared asking to the court was rendered May 12. It gave Dr. Edwards custody of the child and allowed Mrs. Edwards the privilege of seeing her twice each month. Dr. Edwards was in the city when the de- cision was rendered and he started for Texas with the child in the afternoon. NA MANS APPAR MISS WARFIELD ARRIVED AT | NASHVILLE, TENN. | SHE THINKS SHE IS PURSUED, She Told a Remarkable Story, but It Was Discovered That Her Mind Was Deranged. NASHVILIi3, Tenn., May 19.—Miss Min- nie Warfield, a spinster of 4 summers, made a remarkable entry into conservative Nashville. She arrived ‘n the morning on the train from St. Louis, with a guit of men's cloth. ing on and 15 cents [n her pants pocket, When Miss Warfield stepped from the train she was the picture of a sportive young gentleman. A neat looking suit of black, a negligee shirt, patent leather boots and a black vrushed hat placed jauntily up- on one side of ler head gives a descrip- fion of Miss Warfield’s appearance. Her haly was cropped short and parted in the middie. It was slightly tinged with gray on the sides. Although tne dress was perfect, there was that something which caused Patrojgan Walsh to look a e«econd time and then aek a few questions. The secret Was soon out, and as it is the law in Nashville for women to weer skirts and not trousers, Miss War- field was taken to the station house, The incident saused much interest and curiosity among the crowd at the station. At police headquarters Lieut. McGovern was pugsied what to do with her. She was evidently a woman of education and refine- ment and the ltieutenaat hesitated to place her in the woman's department, which was, as usual, flied with negroes and low white women. It was finally decided to lock her in the cage on the second floor, where she could enjoy some privacy. Mise Warfield recited a story, and her rea- pons for assumimg a disguise sounded a romance, but which strengthened the be- lief that her :aind was slightly deranged. Her story began at Los Angeles, Cal., where two vears ago she was living with her mother. Several men, she said, were impertinent in their attentions to her on the street, and to cause them to cease she wrote a poem, which she had published In the Los Angeles Times. Miss Warfield said that took offense at the poem, and have been constantly hounding her ever since. she came East. and in Chicago sent ‘ier obit- uary to the Inter Ocean in hopes of throw- ing them off the track. It was success‘ul for a time, but her subterfuge was soon discovered, and the chase was renewed. Mise Warfield stated that her persecutors eurrounded the Lindell Hotel in St. Louis Friday night, and to elude ihem she cut her hair and disguised herself. She then came by boat to Johnsonville, where she the gentlemen caught the train for Nashille. 7 Miss Fannie Battle, president of the Re- lief Society, learned of Miss Warfleld'’s po- sition and called at the station house. She took the measure of the prisoner and left to secure the clothing neces®ary to again dress Miss Warfield as others of her sex. In the meantime Mrs. W. B. Ross of 926 North Fifth street, called at pollee bead- quarters and stated that Miss Warfieid was her sister. The prisoner had stated that she had a sister living ere, but Iit- tle attention wasp paid to it, as she refused to give her name. : Mrs. Ross brought a female cutfit and after a change had been made she car- ried Miss Warfield to her room. Before leaving Mrs. Ross told the officers some- thing of her sister’s history. She stated that Miss Warfield had been fdr several years laboring under the hallucination that a number of men were persecuting her by following her over -he country. A year ago she was in Nashville and spent some time wiih her sister, but finally de- clared they were stil] after her and that she intended walking to Philadelphia. She could not be persuaded to remain and started out on the trip. Mrs. Ross said she heard tater that her sieter was occupying a position as a stenographer in a city out West, but noth- ing further was heard until her startling arrival, Soon after the sisters left Miss Batile came in with a new outfit of clothing she had seeured for Miss Warfield.

DOCTOR COOK. In almost every vocation specialty work is now called for and demanded. This t notably true when life or health is at stake. It is then that the best treatment the medical profession affords is sought after, and this can be secured only from the physician whose deep knowledge, expert skill, vast experience and thorough scientific equipments have given him complete mastery over the diseases that con- stitute his specialty. Whatever may be your ailment, get help from one who has made such cases a spe- cial study. If your eyesight is failing go to a reliable optician or oculist. If your hearing is defective consult a competent aurist. If a bad tooth is distressing you engage the skill of a dentist. Or if you are burning with fever or shaking with chills tell your troubles to a family physician. They can do you more good than I can, for I do not treat such complaints nor pretend to cure them. But if you have a serious disease arising from or having its seat or origin in the sexual system; if VARICOCELE, STRICTURE, CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON, NERVO-SEXUAL DBEBILITY, or allied troubles are depleting your manhood; and if your case has been aggravated and made worse by the use of belts, specifics, free samples, trial treatments, electro-medical combinations or similar devices— if this is your unfortunate condition I want you to write me, or come to my office, where you will be welcome to private counsel, a careful personal examination, and an honest and scientific opinion of your case free of charge. These diseases and weaknesses of men, and they alone, are my specialty. To them I have earnestly and exclusively devoted 23 of the best years of my Ife, during which time I have discovered and developed various forms of treatment which make their cure an unqualified and absolute certainty. Is it not worth your while to investigate a cure that has made life anew to multitudes of men? Varicocele. Whatever may be the cause of Varicocele, its injurious effect is well known. It de presses the mind, weakens the body, racks the nervous system and ultimately leade to a complete loss of sexual power. If you are a victim of this dire disease come to my office and let me explain-to you my process of treating it. You will then not wonder why I have positively cured more than 700 cases of Varicocele during the past twelve months, Under my treatment the patient improves from the very beginning. All pain in- stantly ceases. Soreness and swelling quickly subside. The pools of stagnant blood are forced from the dilated veins, which rapidly assume their normal size, strength and soundness. All indications of disease and weakness vanish complete- ly, and in their stead come the pride, the power and the pleasures of perfect health and restored manhood. al Stricture. It matters not how long you have suffered from Stricture nor how many different doctors have disappointed you, I will Cure you just as certainly as you come to me for treatment. I will not do it by cutting or Mlating. My treatment is new, entirely original with me and perfectly painiess. It com- pletely dissolves the stricture and permanently removes every obstruction from the urinary paseage. It etops every unnatural discharge, allays all inflammation, reduces the prostate gland when enlarged, cleanses and heals the bladder and kidneys when irritated or congested, invigorates the sexual organs and restores health and soundness to every part of the body affected by the disease, Contagious Blood Poison. On account of its frightful hideousness contagious blood poison is commonly cajied the king of all venereal diseases, It May be either hereditary or contracted. Once the system is tainted with it, the disease may manifest itself in the form of scrofula, eczema, rheumatic pains, stiff or swollen joints, eruptions or copper-col- ored spots on the face or body, little ulcers in the mouth or on the tongue, sore throat, swollen tonsils, falling out of the hair or eyebrows, and finally a leprous- like decay of the flesh and bone. : If you have any of these or eimilar symptoms you are cordially invited to consult me immediately. If you find your fears are unfounded I will quickly unburden your mind. But if your constitution is infected with contagious bidéod virus I will tell you so frankly, and show you how to get rid of it. My special treatment for this disease is practically the result of my life work, and is indorsed by the best physicians of America and Europe. It contains no dangerous drugs or injurious medicines of any kind. It goes to the very bottom of the disease and forces out every particle of impurity. Soon every sign and symptom of this disease disappear completely and forever. The bloed, the tissue, the flesh, the bones and the whole system are cleansed, purified and restored to perfect health, and the patient prepared anew for the duties and pleasures of life, Nervo-Sexual Debility. Men, many of you are now reaping the resuit of your former folly. Your manhood is faiting, and will soon be lost unless you do something for yourself. There is no time to lose. Impotency, like all sexual diseases, is never on the etand- still. With it you can make no compromise. Either you must master it or it will master you, and fill your whole future with misery and indescribable woe. I have treated so many cases of this kind that I am as familiar with them as you are with the very daylight. Once cured by me you will never again be bothered with emissions, drains, prema- tureness, small or weak organs, nervousness, failing memory, loss of ambition or other symptoms which rob you of your marmhood and absolutely unfit you for study, business, pleasure or marriage. My treatment for weak men will correct all these evils, and restore you to what nature intended—a hale, healthy, happy man, with physical, mental and sexual] powers complete. Associate Diseases. ailment of any kind I never fail to remove all reflex complications or curing an associate diseases. If the case is Varicocele, the weakness caused by it disappears. If it is Stricture, and has developed into Prostatic, Biadder or Kidney affections, the injured organs are all restored to a perfectly healthy condition. If it 's Contagious Blood Poison, any and all Skin, Blood and Bone Diseases arising from the taint are entirely and permanently eliminated from the system. If it is Impotency the many distressing symptoms following in ite train and indl- cating a premature decline of physical, mental and sexual power are totally re moved and rapidly replaced by the youthful energy of robust manhood, Hence all resulting {lls and reflex complications, which may be properly termed as- sociate diseases, and which, in fact, are often more serious than the original ailk- ment that gives rise to them—all, I say, disappear completely and forever with the cure of the main malady. In Correspondence. Most cases can be treated successfully at home. One personal visit is preferred, bet if it is impossible or inconvenient for you to call at my office, write me a ful and unreserved history of your case, plainly stating your symptoma.

SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—MAY 20, 1900. SOME UNTOLD TALES OF — LT ABSOLUTE CURES ft a é & { STRIKE STBPPED THE COURT Tardy Jurors Who Had Been) Obliged to Walk Down- Town Were Excused. The strike has been recognized by the Circuit Court and one of the learned judges has been campelled to suspend the admin- istration of law on account of it. A damage suit for personal injuries was set for trial Friday and a special jury was summoned to sit in the case. When the jury list was called only six persons an- ewered to thelr names. Three jurors entered the room just as the sheriff finished making a report on the ab- eent onea They were called to the bar to explain why they were tardy. They said no cars were running near their homes and that they were compelled to get downtown in wagons, which was a slow method. For the next half hour a juror appeared every five minutes. They invariably offered the excuse that the strike had delayed them. His honor waited several minutes for others to appear, but his waiting was in vain. Finally the court grew weary. ‘We haven’t enough jurors to try this care,” he said, ‘‘and it seems that the oth- ers are not coming or, if they are, have been delayed unreasonably. I guess they, Iike these gentlemen who have reported tardy, have been delayed by the strike, so I'll continue the case until the street car service is efficient enough to carry a jury to the Courthouse!”’ a WOMAN SOAKED THE BREAD ‘And Later She “Soaked” a Non- Union Motorman .With the Same Bread. For a week prior to Wednesday a woman Mving on Easton avenue, not far west of Grand, had been saving up scraps of bread. Her cook thought she was getting very economical. The day the cars were start- ed on Easton avenue this housewife put her scraps of bread in the day’s slop and got them thoroughly soaked. There was a peck or more of the soggy bread, drip- ping with undelectable slop. AS @car passed by the lady of the house, aided and abetted by her daughter, ran out into the street and threw the soaked bread into che face of the non-union mo- torman and the emergency policeman who was guarding his car. The motorman was so blinded that an- | THE STREET CAR SIRIKE. | Poor susiless DURING THE.

NEW MEN ON THE FORCE THINK THE POLICEMANS LOT IS NOT A HAPPY VAL eee, ONE. th Mort ~ Chairman T. D. Edwards of the griev- ance committee is the diplomatist of the strikers. Modesty has kept Edwards in the background of the stirring strike picture, yet he is the man who has written ail the propositions and bases of settlement that have emanated from the strikers’ side. His reserve has served to sink his iden- tity into chairman of the grievance com- mittee and nothing more. He is so quiet that he never attracts any attention. He has an air of abstraction that loses him in the agitated crowd at the strikers head- quarters. He looks like a clerk and wears a pleasant smile that is Just as quiet as himee!lf. But if an authoratative reply is to be made to an important question Chairman Edwards is the man pointed out. What Edwards says is final in all things. The strikers have the most implicit confidence in his ability to unravel every perplexity. Perhaps it is because he does it wii such repose of manner. Persons who have called on him from the other employe of the company, who was, aboami, was called forward to rum the car the rest of the trip. The new policeman was so disgusted at being hit with the contents of the slop pail that he jumped off his car and dsappeare 1. Another officer, in uniform, took charge of the @lop thrower’s daughter, who had held the pail while her mother scooped out the contents and splattered them over the motorman and his guard. But the orowd set up such a vigorous protest that the one lone policoman was very glad to release his captive and get out of range; for there was more soaked bread in the bucket. TALE OF HARE AND TORTOISE Darky Jehu Turned the Tables On a Fashionable Tallyho Party. An old negro, who has a rickety wagon and an unsightly horse, is operating one of the numerous emergency ‘bus lines that ply between the heart of the city and the limita, He drove out to Locust street and Channing avenue Friday morning and, se- curing a load of passengers, started on the return trip. At Twenty-eighth street a tally-ho party ‘came dumbering up behind the negro and his crazy rig. It was filled with fashion- ably dressed men and women and they were in a hurry to get downtown. They} shouted to the negro to make way for them, but he pretended not to hear a word they said. “We'll drive right over your outfit,” shouted one of the men in the tally-ho. But that did not disturb the darky. He kept straixht on hie way and made no sign that he was going to delay his passengers by turning out of the road and waiting for anybody to pass. This order of march was continued until the corner ut reached. The driver of the tally-ho showed his superior skill then by making a daring turn with his horses at a gallop and land- ing his team far in front of the negro’s owtait. Phe way was nearly clear up there and : the horses were kept at the gallop. Bui it was the cld story of pride going befo-+ @ fall. At the turn on Olive street a wheel of the tally-ho proke and the vehicle came tv a@ stend, the driver having controlled the horses perfectiy. Within a few minutes the old negro and his outfit reached the scene. His horse stopped with his nose against the rear of the tally-ho. t took the negro several seconds to grasp the situation, birt when he did he emitted @ laugh that could be heard a block. Then he gave his old horse a cut with his whip and shouted: “Git out o' the way or Ah’ll drive right oveah yo’ sutfit.”’ DIFFERENCE IN A WORD South End Citizen Stated His Position Concisely to Another Victim. They were two south enders and they had been acustomed to meet on a corner near Benton Park each morning and ride down- town together. When the cars were tied up one of them | Gusted the cobwebs off his bicycle, but the other was forced to depend on wagon trans- | | practice, amon portation. The firet morning after the strike was de- clared he of the bicyele saw him of the wagon waiting on the corner and scanning the distant horizon in search of a ve- hicle. “Hello, George, what are you doing?’ he gaid, cheerily. “©, waiting for a wagon,” George. The. next morning the wheelman again saw George standing on the corner. “Waiting for a wagon again?” he asked. responded “No, I'm waiting for a wagon—yet!"’ ond Fourteenth street was | company’s side have said that Edwards orght to have been a judge. He thinks a ong time before he opens his mouth to express an opinion. The opinion comes out deliberately. Every word is used as though it had been picked out like a stone to be fitted into its proper place in masonry. When he has done saying his tense short sentences Hdwards walks away. He talks with his arms folded peacefully across his breast. Sitting or standing it is always the same. He stands erect and solidly on both feet, squares his head and looks the person to whom he is talking in the face as long as the conversation lasts. When he seats himself to write an agrée- ment for the transit company to sign—per- haps—he takes hold of the pen firmly, shuts his lips and begins without hesitation to ut down words that may make or unmeke he future of the 3360 strikers before the day is past. Yet it is on record that Ed- wards has not given the other parties to the controversy one loophole through which CONDUCTOR EDWARDS STRIKERS’ LAWMAKER. advantage of an important point by pure technicality. S Edwards is a dreamer. He ‘ikes to sit down in the noisy room at Walhalla Hull and talk philosophy and the mystery cf what he calls the scheme of human nf&ture. Then this sober person whom events have discovered begins to unmask his true self. He confesses that he is nothing but an ob- server of the whole show. He would rather be doing something elese than trying to ad- just a labor problem so as to best subserve the interests of the strikers. With all his retiring disposition the chair- man does not shrink from his responsi llity. He told the Post-Dispatch Friday in the midst of a critical stage of the strike that he was very tired because he had not nad any sleep the previous night, and hadn't been home since the strike began, and had strike nightmares while snatching a few hours’ rest in sleep wherever he happened to be at the moment that the day had died. Edwards writes a clear, legible hand like that of a clerk. It has a Spen:erian slant and is very correct after the fashion of the approved school penmanship. He cannot dictate his matter because hg wants to seé how it looks on paper as it is put down. But most interesting is the great influ- ence Edwards has over all his associates. He stills many a storm of passion by his resence. Hie friends, the strikers, say that e is the most conservative man in the movement, and has even disagreed with President Mahon on many issues that he did not consider were wise for the men to raise. That Edwards is ‘‘square”’ is the ver- dict that seems to explain in three words the secret of his p of the situation. He is the man who has held out for ccom- plete recognition of the union from the company, and he is also the man who has aconceded points in the unionism clause to the company, but never surrendering the vitul principle to help along a settlement. Seven years ago Edwards was assigned as a conductor on the Broadway Line of the Hamilton syndicate. He was transferred to the Seventh street line and for more than six consecutive years has st on the rear platform of car Na 56 He has a clean record and was never reprimanded for neglect of duty. Two years ago he began to prepare himself to follow the profession of lew. He has finishhed a course in oratory at a schohol of elocution and has since been reading law under a preceptor. Mr. Edwards is 28 years old and a bache- lor. His ambition is to win the streetcar their skilled diplomacy might slip and take strike. FROM THE OTHER SIDE What a Nonunion Conductor Said to a Policeman About His Position. on street cars dur- of the strike, does considee the feelings that dwell within the hearts of tye ‘“‘scab’’ motormen and conductores as they pass their fellow-work- ingemen and receive the hoots and jeers of contempt, often accompanied by invectives and sometimes by a thrown stone? That these men feel these things deeply is shown by the following conversation overheard on a Laclede avenue car Thursday between the nonunion conductor and the policeman de- tailed to accompany the car: “Tt seems that there is something wrong with the people’s hearts when a working- man cannot take a job vacated willingly by another workingman without being regard- ed as a thief or worse,” said the conductor, as the car passed a group of men repairing the street, who paused long enough in their labor to cast a look of contempt at the car’s crew, and give vent to the most opprobious While ing these days anyone stop. to and sentimente riding ——_.— DO YOU GET UP term tn a workingman’s vocabulary, ‘ecab.’ The policeman did not reply. “I’m a man, and just as good and honest a man as them that call me scab. I don’t belong to a union, because I believe that the owners of this street line have got the right to do as they please with their own property, and to hire or fire any man they want to. I haven’t got a union card in my pocket or at home, but I'll tell you what I have got. I’ve got a faithful little wife who is worrying herself almost sick for fear one of them stones will deprive her of a hus- band. And I've got three little ones that puts their chubby little arms around my neck and climb all over me with kisses when [I get home at night. I tell you that it makes a great big lump come right up in my throat every time I turn and look around after I start and see them standing out in front of the house waving their hands at me. They don’t think their papa is low and dishonorable because he goes to work in the job that another man quits. When their mother tells them of the things that happen en this line every day they think their papa is a hero, God bless "em. “I'd go through worse things than this strike to put bread into them tots’ mouths.” The policeman twisted the cord on the handle of his club for a moment, and then engaged himself studying the signe in the shop windows. But when he spoke there was a euspicious huskiness in his voice. “Yes, I know. It’s tough, all right. I’ve got a wife and baby myself.

Police Captain William Young tells the Post-Dispatch this story of the strike: Saturday a iong, lank man, who said he came from a town in Kansas, accosted a St. Louis man on the street an’. asked where he could find Mr. Baumhoff, the atreet car boss. The St. Louisan asked why the stranger wanted to see Mr. Baumhof?. “Why, through a friend of mine he has offered me a g00d job on his road,” said the Kansan, “and I have come here to go to work.” “Are you going’ to take the place of a striker?” ‘Striker? I didn’t know there was any strike. The cars are running. Don't look like anything’s wrong to me.’ o “Strangér,’ said the St. Louls man, “do you know how many men are in the hos- pitals on account of this strike?’ The stranger stared, open-mouthed. “There are about 70 in the hospitals now, one in h‘s grave and more being sent to get patched up every hour in the day. Two car men were shot yesterday, 18 others were stoned, bruised, beaten and otherwise put out of order.”’ “T’'ll be horn-swaggled,”’ the Kansan ex- claimed. “I've just got in and I didn’t the war had been deciared. I see here for a hundred waiters in « summer garden and I guess I'll pass up Mr. Baumhoff and go to handling dishes, RIOT CALL A BOOMERANG This South Side Saloon Keeper Was Arrested Through His Own Machinations. A saloon keeper, whose place of business is near the old City Hospital, thought it would be wise for him to do something that would attract the attention of strike sym- pathizers to him and assure them that he was with them. He employed a force of men to place three obstructions across the transit com- pany’s track opposite his place of business. He was complimented on his loyalty to the union by persons who saw the obstructions grow in dimensions under his direction. For the first few hours the arrangement worked finely and brought him the patron- age he desired. But in the afternoon the strike sympathizers, attracted by the ob- structions, began to raise disturbances. They decided to increase the size of the barricades and used a half-dozen of the saloon keeper’s full beer kags in doing it. ‘They otherwise injured his property until he became angry. He protested against their conduct, but it became worse instead of better. Finally he turned in a riot call. A posse of policemen responded and quick- ly subdued the crowd. Then they began an investigation to ascertain who caused the was soon communicated to them. All the evidence pointed to the conclusion that, if the barricades had not been built, there would not have been a disturbance. The result was that the saloon keeper was arrested on his own riot call. SHE =[S FOR —-UNIONISM Woman Counseled Violence While a Striker Preached for Peace. Just before the mounted police cleared away the crowd at Seventeenth street and Franklin avenue Friday morning, where bonfires and small bombs were maRing things hot for car men and police, a woman stood on the sidewalk opposite the biggest bonfire on the track, holding by the hand a little girl of 2 or 3 years. She was a big woman, with a countenance indicating great determination. She was talking to a middle-aged man who said he was a striker. “I want the union to win,” said the woman: “I’m for unionism, and I hate scabs. I’ve got a brother in the strike. The father of that mounted policeman out there is a street car striker. I’m going to stand by the strikers and do all I can to worry the company. We ain’t doing half enough damage. I ain’t afraid to say that I’ve helped put rocks on the tracks and I’ve thrown étones at the scabs, and I'll do it again, too I have even tied tih cans to the trolley wires. The men have got to win this strike, or union labor will be knocked out.”’ ‘‘Yes,’’ said the striker, “we have got to win, but I am in favor of winning by peace- able means. I don’t think it is right to destroy the company’s property or use vio- lence in interfering with cars.”’ This little conversation shows how one woman feels and how one atriker feels. trouble and the history of the barricades. | BREAKING THE FIRST BIG MOB How a Hearty Laugh Saved Six Policemen and Turned a Seri- ous Situation Into a Farce. A stalled streetcar in the foreground, on either end a desperate. belplees man, glar- ing like a trapped rat. Around the car 400 talkers without a Hstener, a tabble of voices, men with a sense of wrong that they cannot explain, women. who feel that their dear ones are Wronged, yet who stare helplessly when asked the reason for thelr opinion, youths who gather for mischief, girls attracted by curiosity, cries, curses, mleadings, threats. This is a mob before the storm breaks. A word, a glance, a gesture its the little thing that may decide the course of ac- tion. A stone wagon, loaded with granite blacks, that passed the corner of Jefferson and Park avenues near 7 o’clock Tuesday morning, May 8, determined the course of the first mob that the present strike pro- duced. Men had gathered there to see the cars move. Above, in the windows, their wives sat wondering if their husbands would win. The crowd, swollen by men who paused before crossing the bridge, had watched in helpless wrath cars on the Park avenue Civision dash by. The stone wagon furnished means to block the track. Men held the ‘horses. Other men, climbing Nike working ants, emptied the cart. Before the wagon passed the crowd a stone rampart blocked the track. A yellow streak and a clashing of gongs told of an east-bound car headed for the rampart. The crowd fell from the track. Sand flew and the grinding wheels spit fire as the motorman, seeing the stones, threw his weight on the brake. The car stopped. Motorman and conduc- tor retreated inside. Yells, cheers and threats of speedy punishment were hurled at the crew. The attack was delayed, while the crowd, catlike, feasted its eyes on the trapped prey. Lashed by their own words the men pre- pared for action. The two inside the car drew close together, their hands in the hip pockets. The crowd began to draw tagether. Like a wrestler marshaling his muscles, each member stepped close to his neighbor, until all were knit into a compact body ready at a word to hurl itself on the car and crew. “Cliang! Clang! Clang!”’ The gong on the patrol wagon sounded sharply. Blue caats clambered down the steps. The mob, poised for a spring, broke like a wave on Race Rock reef. Phinging, twist- ing, butting into his fellows, every man sought safety. The policeman’s club, every man fancied, like the sword of Damocles, was suspended over his own head. Fearing the thread might break, all ducked. dived and crushed their comrades. Unreasonable fear, not blows, was breaking the mob to fragments. Had the police made no arrests the six patrolmen would have dispersed a crowd of 400 men. But Sergt. Bauer grabbed Nich- Olas Doyle and hurried him to the wagon. Doyle’s comrades rushed to the rescue, their terror of the police changing to scorn. Bauer was picked up and cast into a pud- dle. A score of men clambered on the wagon, pinnioned the officer in charge and, laughing wt tne police, released Doyle. The late prisoner soooted for an alley. Shots rang out.

Tell him that you have plenty to keep you busy on land with- out looking out for things afioat.”’ After which the admiral invited Gen.

Representative Brewer of Alabama is often taken for a clergyman. Probably his long black coat, which buttons tight- ly abowt hig tall and somewhat slender fig- ure even up to hig chin, where a white mus- lin tie peeps out through the short and grizzly beard, is responsible for hundreds of maquiries as to the identity of the cler- ical looking gentleman. But Mr. Brewer is not a clergyman. He “*has been a journalist, has practiced law, and has written books; is now a plamnter.’’ That is Mr. Brewer's own description of himself in the Congressional Directory. He does not, however, describe the won- derful meerschaum pipe that he smokes a good part of the time, when he does not need to be on the floor. It isa very conspic- uous feature of his make-up. A_ stem three or four feet long, with a pliant curve near the top, enables the Alabamian to hold this pipe in one hand, much as a soldier would hold his mueket, the while he stalks about, as grim and determined as a Turk. The meerschaum bowl of this accommo- dating pipe is yellow from years of use. Mr. Brewer smoked from it on his plantation, as he looked out on the broad flelds of cot- ton, and long before he was elected to the last Congress. A chip was recently broken from the top of the precious material, but Mr. Brewer smokes as unconcernedly as ever. His pipe accompanies him to the cloakroom of the house on all oceasions, and is not forgotten when he descends to the lower floors for committee work. Senator Penrose Had Many Dollars in His Mind. Senator Penrose, in the course of a speech on armor plate, said: “Then, too, the bill provides for three unarmored cruis- ers. of $13,000 displacement.”’ ‘There's no divorcing the Pennsylvania mind from the money idea,’”’ whispered Senator Depew to Senator Foraker.

' WASHINGTON, May 19.—Many Demo- cratic leaders are counting confidently on carrying New York and Indiana for Bryan in November. They say that the mere fact that Mr. McKinley received a plurality antee that he will carry it this year. No other state in the union has swung from one side to the other with almost the regularity of a pendulum as has New York. In the last 2 years the Democrats has carried ten electiops and the Re- publicans nine—there having been no gen- eral e'ection last year. These results show the oscillation since 1872: REPUBLICAN. 1872—President 1879—Governor 1880— President . 1883—Secretary of State. 188—President 1893—Secretary of State 1884—-Governor— 1896—President 1898—Governor DEMOCRATIC. 1874—Governor 1876—President 1882—Governor 1834— President ' SPCEROVORRGE 3s vckkcccbdsbeconntl sone cavde - 19,171 1889-—-Secretary of State 62 1891—Governor 1892— President 1897—Judge These figures show not only the inde- pendent and variable character of the yot- ing in New York but some astonishingly quick and complete revolutions.

Harrison received 4 plurality of 13,000 for President in 1888, while Hill carried the state for governor at the same election by 19,171. To cap the climax, McKinley had the unprecedented plurality of 268,468 im 189%, and the Demo- crats elected Parker chief justice the very next year by the handsome plrality of 6,- 8&9. And Roosevelt, with all his military pee and his high personal character to help him, won by a scratch in 1898— due, as Senator Platt said after the election, to Croker’s action in “opposition to the in- dependence of the judiciary.” his survey of the elections in the last thirty years proves that New York is at the best a doubtful state under ordinary political conditions. When her material prosperity and the value of the savings of her thrifty citizens were threatened. as in 1896, of course party lines did not hold the voters; but when that danger was past and the Democrats had the common sense to mominate a conspicuously fit candidate for chief justice and to drop the fluancial failacy they recovered the state.

Of these the four Southern states and Vermont are so one-sided in their politics that the results are foregone conclusions and will throw Hittle light on the presiden- tial election. Oregon, the next state to vote, will afford something of a test of public sentiment on the Pacific slope.

The platform favored consti- tutional amendments providing for an in- come tax and the election of senators by direet vote, expressed sympathy with the Boers, condemend the Porto Riean tari and the Dingley tariff’ laws and favor government ownership of tel nes.

% ~ 4” € “ SUNDAY MORNING—ST. QUIS POST-DISPATCH—MAY 20, 1906. — BABY FALLS 0 LEUATED TRAIN Clings fora Time in Mid-Air to a Cable. DROPS ON AN EXPRESS VAN. FOREST OF ARMS RECEIVES HIM ON THE REBOUND. After Being Petted in a Bowery Dive Young Mr. Joseph McGrath Is Restored to His Aunt Prac- tically Sound. NEW YORK, May 18.—For years after he puts off the kilts of a child and puts on the trousers of a man Jce McGrath will be known to Houston street as the “boy who fell off the elevated train.’ ’ Thanks to the persistent, and at times, iiksome care of hundreds and thousands of mothers and aunts and big sisters, Joe is the first 8-year-old who ever fell out of the window of an elevated railroad car. The things that happened to Joe after he fell form a magnificent and harmless ad- venture. Young men who want to “stand on the seat and see things’? may hereafter quote the case of Joe. For was he not able to take care of himself when he found that ui few kindly telegraph wires intervened to save hisn from the street? Did not the whole Bowery rally to his assistance? Was he not treated with the utmost considera- tion by the young persons from MecGurk’s, who were never known to distinguish them- selves in public before except by commit- ting sulolde? Was he not carried a block in the arms of a policeman, and did not Tony, the bootblawk, give hin a stick of ‘chocolate and the policeman a new copper cent? A green watering pot was to blame for it. Joe’s aunt had bought the watering pot so that Joe could water the graves of his father and his mother. Joe’s mother died hefore he had learned to remember. His father, who wae a workman on the new wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, died just a year ago, The gravee of both are in walvary Cemetery. Joe lives wtih his father’s sister, Miss McGrath, at 68 West Houston street. Nobody has to ask whether his aunt takes good care of him, because he looks as if he had been fattened for mar. ket and his buttoned boots are new and ehiny and his face is most painfully clean. Miss McGrath was to take Joe to the graveyard by way of Thirty-fourth street ferry. Another aunt, Mrs. Lehman, was to meet them at Long Island City at 10:15 o'clock. They were rather late and Mise MeGrath dragged Joe up the Houston street @tation stairs so fast that both of them were out of breath. As they scrambled into the door of the last car of an uptown train that came in just as Miss McGrath was buying the tickets the guard reached out and swung Joe forward so that the gate could be shut, Joe bumped into his aunt and she dropped the green wattering pot. The sprinkler dropped off the spout, as sprinklers of green Watering pots always fall off at critical moments, and Joe’s aunt got down on the floor of the car to the cross seats, which floor of the car to look for it. Joe trotted on down the car to the cross seats, which he calls the ‘10 cent seats.”” He clambered upon the slippery rattan cushion of one of them and looked out on the busy panorama of the Bowery. To his joy he found that the window was open. He hoped his aunt would not notice it. She was very much occupied with the highly annoying sprnkier of the green watering pot, Joe. rested both of his fat elbows—they were so fat that they made his black spot- ted shirtwaist sleeves lock like sausage covers—on the sill of the open window, dug his toes into the rattan as well as he could and proceeded to enjoy the sights. The train started. It started very easily, and Joe Was not at all disturbed in his mind or in his physical equilibrium. There was an- other train very close behind and the en- Rineer of Joe's train, after he had started, Was seized with the idea that he ought to get out of the way faster. He yanked back his throttle, the train jumped and Joe slid out of the window. Joe is a thoroughbred. When he felt him- self going he did not yell. That would have scared his aunt. Miss ‘McGrath had not the slightest idea what had become of him. She looked up the car and down. She looked under the seats. She grew angry and called for “Joseph,” which would have scared Joe a great deal if he had heard her, and then itt came over her that she ‘had let the child stand on the seat by the window. She screamed and thrust her head out of the window. She could see men running from ail directions toward the easi side of the Bowery. Meanwhile more things were happening at Houston street and the Bowery than ever happened there before in the same space of time on that busy corner. When Joe fell out of the window his well-cushianed person dropped on the railing that runs along be- s de the track and guards the plank foot- path. He balanced on that a moment and then fell outward from the footpath and siruck on the wables that are strung along the ends of the ties to carry the elevated railraad’s system of telegraph wires, then he fell across another cable that sagged a ttle below the one he had struck first. By this time he had recovered from his sur rise mifficiently to realize that it would be worth while ta hold on to something. His baby hands clutched the cable and he swung dangling from it. 3 apparent calmness of a circus gentleman in spamgies. He loaked up.

South Side Get Presents an Amateur Theatrical Performance—Gossip of the Social World. The streetcar strike, the season of the year, the heat and a few other interesting complications served to bring the wheels of society tu a complete deadlock last week. Everything of conseqience was postponed and the smart set was compelled to pass a long week in unprofitable inactivity. The strawberry feast and dance which the Daughters of the Confederacy were to have given at the Exposition Friday night was postponed and will be held Friday (May B) of this week. The ladies in charge of the affair promise to atone for the disappoint- ment by doing all in their power to make the entertainment more elaborate and more brilliant than anything they have ever at- tempted. Several entertainments which were to have been given for the gradvating class of Mary Institute have been put off until this week and so also has the al fresco luncheon and euchre which Mrs. Joseph D. Lucas was to have given at the Lacas country lace, ““Goodwood,” in Normandy. Mrs. ach Tinker’s luncheon, which was set for last Wednesday in honor of Miss Whitmore of New York, will take place this week. Mrs. Tinker’s dinner party Monday night, by the way, was a very beautiful and en- gee affair. Miss Marie Whitmore, who as been visiting Mir. and Mrs. Tinker for the past fortnight, was the guest of honor. The table was arranged with covers for ‘2 and at each place was a dainty boutonniere of sweet peas and a prettily decorated guest card. The central decoration was a mass of pale vellow and white sweet peas, min- glied with maidenhair and asparagus ferns. A number of yellow candies in delicate Dresden holders also decorated the table. Mrs. nker, who is a very beautiful young woman, was gowned in white em- broidered crepe du chine, trimmed with chiffon and point lace, and Miss Whitmore was charming in a robe of cream colored renaissance lace over white glace silk. Dinner was served in ten courses, and afterward there was some delightful music. ‘The guests were: Misses— Elma Rumsey, et Rumsey, arrie Tinker, Messrs. — David Walker, John Davis, Harry Turner, Collier—Haltenbach. Cards are out announcing the marriage at 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, May 15, of Miss Louisa Haltenbach to Mr. Frank Col- lier. The ceremony was performed very uietly at the residence of Rev. Martin ummer of Garrison, and as the parents of both bride and groom reside out of the city, there were no attendants except the maid of honor, Miss Maude Baughton and the best man, Mr. J. E. Stout. After the ceremony the couple left the city for a brief honeymoon. They will reside in St. Louis. Misses— Mrs, Clara Koehler, Marie Whitmore. Messrs.— Pierre Garneau, Iritz Rumsey. Birthday Party. Little Miss Hattie Haltzman of 1429 Gran- ville place celebrated her 13th birthday Tuesday afternoon by giving a progressive games party, followed by’ an elaborate spread, to fourteen of her school mates.

Martin, who is stationed with his regiment at San Juan. Lieut. Martin was apointed aide to Lieut. Col. James Buchanan, grand marshal for the grand parade at San Juan, in honor of the arrival of the Honorable (Charles H. Allen, first civil governor of the islands. A pleasant surprise to society last week Was the announcement of the engagement of Miss Hattie Ringen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Ringen of Delmar boulevard, to Mr. Walter C. Ailison of St. Johns, Neb. Miss Ringen and her flance met last year at one of the Colorado resorts, where Miss Ringen has been sojourning for many months in hope of benefiting her health. She is now entirely recovered from her lliness, and is looking as radiantly pretty as a June rose. : Mr. Allison, her flance, comes of a fine old English family now residing in Can- ada, and is said to be very wealthy. ‘The wedding will probably come off early in the autumn. A June Wedding. One of the prettiest of the June weddin will be that of Miss Ottila Hollweg, daugh- ter of Mr. Andrew Hollweg, to Mr. John Muller of Seattle, Wash. The ceremony will take place at the bride’s home. There will be an elaborate banquet. ‘The bride- elect is an exceeding retty girl, who is possessed of many admlrabic traits. After the wedding, Mr. Muller and his bride will go-to the California resorts to remain a few weeks before going to their home in Seattle. Society’s Loss. The smart set is grieving deeply and - disguisedly over the departure a Mr. and a. eddie Butler and Mr. and Mrs. Terry est. ‘ * Mrs. Butler and Mrs. the former having been Miss Emille Mans- fleld before her marriage and the latter Miss Josephine Mansfield. Their loss will be felt very keenly in the polite world, where they both were admired for their brilllancy, their frank good nature and their charming pesonal appearance. Mr. and Mrs. Butler are at present in Louisiana, considering the advisability of urchasing a sugar plantation. From Ouisiana they will go to Florida, thence to Mexico and thence to California to look at various fruit farms. Mr. and “Mrs. But- ler have not yer decided where they will make their permanent home. They will probably wind up their travels with the ocean trip from San Francisco to Alaska and return. Mr. and Mrs. West have gone to New York, where they will reside in the suburbs north of the city. Mrs. West, who pos- sesses a very beautiful voice, will go in for a systematic study of vocal music. D. A. R. Reception. Mise H. A.

Dducation section: Miss Susan Beeson represents the committee on current educa- tion, presenting reports from educational] institutions. ° A comprehensive report was given by Mrs. Shields of the practical work under- taken ‘by the section at 1223-12% North Broadway, consisting of mothers’ classes and classes for boys and girls. The special work of the social economics section was the investigation of public playgrounds—the possibility o obtaining certain parks, to be used in that way. This investigation was well started and then turned over to the practical work com- mittee. 4 The classes in parliamenary law reported a union of forces the coming vear for study of other subjects than the mere drills de- m to and. Mrs. W. E. Ware, chairman of the class in business education, reported an interest- ed and appreciative membership, taking into consideration many subjects in which it was the aim of the chainman to be mainly sueg- gestive and helpful to those who wished to apply the study. It is a matter of regret to many that the study willl not be con- tinued. Reports of standing committees on rooms, social affairs, lease and hospitality was not considered in detall. The bureau of reciprocity announced that the state committee would be glad to re- ceive any papers the Wednesday Club might desire to send for distribution when desired. The chairmen of these committees will be apvointed later. The special program committee gave the policy of the present committee, as implied by the club, to be the intreduction of out- side talent. Mrs. bdward Taussig is chatir- man of the committee for coming vear. The committee on inevuestrial conditions of women and children, Mrs. W. EF.

After the report of the press committee, Mrs. Philip N. Moore was appointed chair- man for the following year. Mrs. Qhase, chairman of the committee on practical work, made the following re- port: The report of the education section made at the last business meeting, re- ferring its social settle ent to the prac- tical work committee, Was considered and the following recommendations adopted: 1 It is impracticable for®the Wednes- day Club to carry on the settlement work, strictly so-called, with resident manager, and that the social settlement be discon- tinued. -2. That a committee of three be appointed to be galled the committee on philanthropic work, to report to the club through the practical work committee twice each year concerning the work being done in_ the settlements already formed in St. Louis and also in other cities, that the club may be in touch with the movement as a whole and be ready to give intelligent help in case an association should be formed for the establishment of a setticment in St. Louls. At the request of the members from the Social Economics Section the committee considered the subject of summer schools and playgrounds, and, upon investigation, eel that great need exists for suitable playgrounds in the more crowded parts of our city. The Turnvereins of the city have consid- ered the same subject and have expressed a desire to co-operate with the Wednesday Club, but the plan of the Turners to ap- propriete one of the smaller parks does not seem to your committee of practical value because all of the available space in these sn‘all breathing places is needed for the families of the neighborhood, and it has been found impossible, in some of the other cities, to reserve any part of the pudtic parks exclusively for children. The educa- for children if objectionable characters cannot be ex- cluded, and this cannot be done in the ublic parks. goon comnenbitee found that if we could ecure the use of the yard and basement of one of the public schools in the crowded district the experiment cauld be tried at an expense of about $2. This amount would pay for the services of a kindergarten teacher, who would be in charge of the playground during the morning, and of a man, who would take charge in the afternoon; also, for a simple equipment—sand piles, building blocks, swings, etc. At the regular meeting of the board of the Wednesday Club the secretary of the club was instructed to write to the board of Education and ask for the use of the yard and basement of one school in which to make the experiment, im case the club decided to undertake the work, the Wednes- day Club to be responsible for the experi- ment in every way. In answer to this the committee received 4 letter stating that the matter was presented to the oBard of Education and referred to the superintendent and committee on in- struction with power to act. This committee on insiruction will meet to consider the subject on Wednesday, May 23 and will inform us of its decision after that date. Your committee therefore recommends: That if the Board of Education will grant the vse of one school in which to make the experiment, the Wednesday Club will undertake to institute and take charge of a vacation playground In that school. Clotho Club. The last regular meeting of the Clotho Club was held Monday afternovn at the residence of Mrs. G. L. Werth. Many of the memb. ; were prevented from coming by the strike.

HICKMAN, THE ROUGHRIDER Central Figure in a Real Riot at Fairfax and Taylor Avenues. There is a young man in St. Louis who hankered for an opportunity to become @ war correspondent, but his mother wouldn't let him go to South Africa or the Philip- pines. She was afraid he might be hurt. So this young man stayed at home, where sweet peace reigned. Two weeks ago his mother went to the country for a visit. The young man came to the Post-Dispatch and requested the editor to send him to South Africa at once. “Why? asked the editor. ‘TI want to be a war correspondent,” re- plied the young man. “How would you like to be a war corre- spondent at home?” the editor inquired. “How can I?’ “Go out to the front, anywhere in St. Louis, and write up a street car strike riot.”’ And eo the young man became a war cor- respondent at home. This is his special from the front, describ- ing the firet attempt to run a car from the sheds at Fairfax and Taylor avenue on the initial.day of the strike: All morning the army of strikers ard thelr ‘friends had stood in front of the car sheds or marched back and forth*‘in small pla- toons. There were, perhaps, 200 men, enough for two full regiments. Upon a box in. front of the assistant superintendent's headquarters an orator of the strikers had ‘made eight speeches counseling his asso- Clates to atand their ground and not let a ‘car leave the sheds. “Don't use fore,”’ he said, “but oferwhelm them with your numbers. They'll be afraid to come out if we @fay here.”’ About noon the air was quick with ru- mors. Something was wsoing to happen. |Something did happen. |. Presently Police Capt. O'Malley with a |hundred patrolmen marched up the street. he men were stationed on Taylor avenue at the head of Fairfax. The cars must come out that way and crogs over to Finney to run down town. In ftront of a saloon, restaurant, drug store, barber shop and ice cream parlor on Taylor avenue groups of men and women were gathered to await the issue. Across the avenue, on the broad sidewalk in front of the entrance to Lewis place, a fashiona- ble residence district. many inen and wom- en who live in handsome houses were standing. Some sat on the etone wall. All were there not to become a part «f the dis- turbance which was to follow. but merely to see what was going on. Curtosity was the magnet.

[t's already marked up, and they my Dave Stambach will be on the front end. Dave Stambach is accounted one of the nerviest men in the service of the company. Formerly he was considertd a friend of the union, but he didn’t strike. At present the union men consider him otherwise, and when they learned that Stambach was ro De in charge of the motor at his own -equest }they looked at each other, but said noth- ing. At 1 o’clock a surge of strange emotion swayed the crowd. It was happening. The car was coming out, Stambach and another motorman on the front end, two conductors at the rear, 10 policemen aboard. The infantry police already had cleared away the 2000 strikers from the front of the car sheds. These men had clambered over lumber piles and scampered through alleys, gathering again at the head of Fairfax ave- nue, flush up against the double file of pa- trolmen still on duty there, and mingling with the spectators whom curiosity gov- erned. Most of the strikers were dressed in citizens’ clothing, and fairly well dressed, 60 that it was impossible to distinguish striker from mere spectator. Hickman’s Rough Riders were in line across the avenue just south of the crowd, which filled Taylor avenue to Finney and beyond, thoroughfare, sidewalk and door- way. Stambach ran hie car the 200 feet from the sheds to Taylor avenue. Then the thing happened. “Pull the scab off his car!’’ yelled a man, and a thousand men pressed forward. Those who preferred to press the other way were borne along in the compact mass. They were a part of the mob, and a mob once in motion must move all one way. Several women were crowded up to within a few feet of the front end of the car. Some of them screamed. Others jeered at the car crew and called the men scabs. Others were too badly rightened to speak: with blanched faces they struggled to esca or feebly fought for space to breathe. They belonged to the mob. They were in the toils of the octopus. They were helpless. Suddenly, before the main crowd knew just what was going on, half a dozen men tried to pull Stambach from his’ platform. Stambach released his lever and hit right and left. He had boxed with gloves on in the Lindell sheds gymnasium. and he did execution with his bare fists.

There was not room for all the crowd to get away before the horses charged into the midst of the mass. Many managed to find standing room on the sidewalks and others crowded into the shops. “Clear the sidewalke'’ Hickman cried, and the 30 horsemen rode against the solid masses on the walks.

As the embargo on the Suburban cars has been removed, they are the favorite means of transit of the workmen of the city.

The Morgan Club is a thing of the past.

But recollections of this resort will many moons ‘in the minds of the police, of the gikded youth of the West End and of the heterogeneous assortment of humanity that is wont to wander in the districts where the lights burn bright- ly long after midnight. The Morgan Club was ‘(more commonly known berts.

Proprietor Gumberts many months ago incurred the enmity of the police and this, coupled with the more recent antagonism of the Anti-Wineroom League, finally wrought his undoing, despite vigorous legal efforts on his part to save himself. His lwense was revoked by the excise commis- sioner Thursday. , The anti-winéroom crusaders made their fight against him on the ground that he permitted music in ‘his saloon, contrary to the law. The police recommended Iast month that is license be revoked on the ground that the Morgan Club was a dis- orderly resort, frequented by disreputable people. On April 29 Capt.

Macbeth is on a business Buying of Commod'ties Withkeld Buyers Waiting for Botton Prices to Be Reached. NEW YORK, May 19.—The stock market mainta'ned a fairly good speculative tone to-day in spite of the continued discourage- ment reported by the mermantile agencies over the course af commodity prices. Railroad stocks generally are higher on the day to the extent of a fraction and some of the speciaities show larger changes, Sugar was the leader of the market with- out any news to account for its strengta beyond the suggestive parallel that might be drawn between its case and that of the New York gas companies, whose costly conflict seems to be ended. With the profit- able period of the year approaching In the sugar trade it is natural to suppose that the incentive to settling a contest that takes away the profits of the business is aug- mented. Consolidated gas reflected the pres- sure of speculative issues and tobacco stocks showed signs of weakness. The locai traction stocks continued strong. The market was largely one of special- ties. There was some demand for the Vanderbilt stocks, apparently an the 1epor- ed return from Europe of William K. Van- derbilt, which was denied after the close. Union Pacific gained a large fraction. Burl- ington and Norfolk & Western halted in the ya gg dy Was the feature of yester- ay's arke ! prafits. t, while traders took their Phe weekly statement of railroad earn- ings so far as received was favorable. The bank statement was favorable in the doubt- ful item of loans, which showed a very small increase, thus relieving apprehensions that banking resources might be encroached upon faster than they were replenished. The item of cash increase showed a siightly larger movement from the interior than had beea estimated. The bond market showed a dectded im- provement, both in the volume of the de- mand and the prices brought. The sharp advance in government bonds was, of yep _in response to the announcement rom Washington of the calling in of the extended 2 per cents. Prices of railroad stocks have partly re- covered this week the losses incurred last week. In the industrial department of the Stock list, on the contrary, there have been some formidable inroads on prices. Busi- ness has been largely in professional hands and the volume of dealings has been less than half a million shares a day on an average. A large part of the demand was evidently from the bears. who had oversold the market on the previous decline. Professional manipulation against the shoris was a factor in the advance, as was evident from the character of some of the stories set afloat of proposed vast consoli- Cauons of railroads and fur-reaching plans for extending control, which either met with prompt official denials or lost their force after a day by reason of in- herent improbebility. Such a course of events would in itself have led to some ditions. But a number of tncidents con- verged to effect some relief from the previ- ous speculative depression and to help the campaign against the shorts, though there Was no renewal of substantial demand for stocks of an investment or semi-investment character. ‘ After the middle of the week the market showed renewed tendency to sag, with the satisfaction of the demand from the short interest, and with ghe effofts making to realize by professional traders, who ‘had turned bulls far a turn. _An important factor in the partial relief from recent speculative despondency is the improved condition of the foreign money markets. Last week London was looking to this week’s Stock Exchange settlement with considerable apprehension, cwing to the wide declines since the last settlement. especially in Americans and the prevailing stringency in money. But the London money market has found unexpected relief by the receipt of $5,000,000 in Russian gold. The undertone in Wall street, neverthe- less, continues rather depressed and uncer- tain, due to the obvious fact that burying of commodities is still witthhheld in waiting for indications that bottom prices have been reached. The fact that investment buying of bonds has been dull, in spite of low rates for money, has teen a discourag- ing factor in the stock market.

Special to the Post-Dispaten. WILMINGTON, Mass., May 19.—Mrs. Frances B. Hiller, most famous of woman eccentrics, is dead. She will be buried ina $50,000 casket, which she had constructed two years ago, under her personal supervis- ion, and will be laid to rest in the $500,000 mausoleum built by herself and first hus- band. After her husband's death Mrs. Hiller startled the community by marrying her coachman, Peter Surettle, who for a large money consideration, agreed to change his name to Hiller. A niece of Mrs. Hiller’s made strong objection to the match, and tNe wedding, which was to have taken place March 16, 1893, did not take place until Apri] 23 that year. Surettle wus given a sound thrashing by the pretty niece. who seized an umbrella and rained blows on his head, until he was rescued by his intended bride. He signed an anti-nuptia] agreement, giving up his interest, as her husband, in her large es- tate. In consideration of this Mrs. Hiller seitled a large amount of property on him, Albert W. myerson of Detroit unnounced, atier Mrs. Huilier’s marriage to her coach- man, that Mrs, Hilier had asked him to marry her, offering him $100,000 in cash and an aliowance of $40 a month besides, if he wouid become her husband. She aiso prom- ised, he said, to bequeath to lim, on her aeath, the most vaiuabie portion of her es- tate. He refused these offers, and married a pretty Detroit girl. Mrs. Hillier denied Ryersoun’s assertions. But it was the building of the costly mausoleum that made the Hillers famous. Mrs. Hiller suggested the plan, inasmuch as they had lost every one of the 23 children born to them, and there wouid be no one left to perpetuate their name, Her hus- band toid her to carry out any idea she chose to adopt. She chose the costliest materials, and the mausoleum was built regardless of expense, Its walis were five feet thick, and the gates, of wrought iron and steel, were aouble locked, to prevent desecration of the tomb Then came the idea to build costly caskets or sarcophagi, in which were io be placed Mr. and Mrs. Hiller’s bodies when they had been summoned from earth. Search was made all over the world for rare woods. Mrs. Hiller paid $1000 for planks from the big California redwood trees, and $1500 for wood from cedars of Lebanon. She also bought costly red cedar; but all were dis- carded. After infinite pains, and a large cost, the choicest mahogany from South America was procured and used the construction of the caskets, which were exquisitely carved by the most skillful workmen. After Mr. Hiller’s death Mrs. Hiller began thinking of burial robes for herself, and she them prepared on a scale of mAgni- in was made of the richest corded silk, decor- by the most skilful artists in On the side were panels of white The robe was fastened by 600 Hiller. Its under varments broidered France. surah silk. silver hooks, designed by Mrs. cost was $20,000, and the cost $5000 more. Mr. and Mrs. Hiller were estimated at the time of the former's death to be worth selling patent medicines. CARING FOR THE INSANE. oe eee The past week's grain market was 7 in tone, first one faction controlling thd fluctuations of the” futures and then the other side taking charge. Neither side in its attacks on the range was able to make any marked changes, most of them being almost immediately wiped out by later at- tacks. The week opened and closed with a small range for all months and with little tin- terest manifested in any cereal. Changes as a rule were made more for the interest of the bears than the bulls, but there were plegty of bits of news, which had a tem- pormy effect towards a better level. Among the most important of these§ was the small Argentine shipment, which was much below that of the previous week and vear. This naturally gave prices an up- ward tilt,-which was not immediately over- come.

ABOUT A PUBLIC BUILDING. {ie Wants More Money Than the Rep- resentatives Have a Mind to Allow. WASHINGTON, May 19.—Attorney-Gen- eral Griggs is at loggerheadg,» with , the fiouse of Representatives over the construct- tion of the new building for the Department ‘of Justice. The attorney-general obtained an appropriation of $1,000,000 last year. This ecason he applied fur $900,000 additionai be- fore awarding the contracts. Instead of granting the increase, the House commit- tee on Public Buildings and grounds adopt- | eda resolution refusing to allow any more money until the attorney-general advertised for bids under the first epeeneintion, as re- quired by the terms of the act ' It appears that Mr. Griggs ‘invited com- titive bids from a number of architects, | but did not advertise a public « ompetition. An official with experience would have ac- cepted the rebuke of the House committee ! and complied with the law as construed by the legislative branch of the government. - Not so Mr. Griggs. Being the law cfficer of the executive branch, he decided to put his construction against that of the com- ' mittee which framed the law itself. This ordinarily would produce a clash, but At- torney-General Griggs has gone further. HHe not only holds to the selected bids he called for, but with evident temper lhe an- ounces practically that he will put up a ulilding within the original appropriation that will be a disgrace to the government. He will not build .of marble or stone, Hut of terra cotta. He will not finish the ! §nterior in walnut or cherry, but in the cheapest office furnishings. Representatives es hold that this is a bad tone to assume with ' the Gaynor bid pending in the judiciary committee, which the attorney-general is leading shall be reported favorably. Mem- ers of the House declare he will not be per- ' mittted to put up a “‘spite’’ structure, and that he will be compelled to advertise for . bids as Congress directed, and he will have | to specify materials of the best character for the new government buildings. The House committeee does not criticise the request for additional money It criti- cises the method by which the attorney- , @eneral has allowed eelected contractors to ; Overrun the limits of the original appro- priation.

Cobb, who has been in Washington for some days in behalf of the Louisiana Purchase Cen- tennial Celebration Bill. An earnest effort will be made to present the bill in a manner acceptable to all concerned. The trip of these gentlemen to Washing- ton was caused by a rumor to the effect that while the committee which is to pre- sent the bill to Congress favored an appro- priation, it had about decided to reduce (fe amount asked from $6,000,000’ to $3,000,000. As soon as this rumor reached the local committee a telegram was sent to Chair- man Tawney protesting against the change on several grounds, mainly because it would morally if not legally, vitiate sev- eral subscriptions already made, The blank for the local subscription does not contain a reference to the Government appropria- tion, making each subscription conditional only on the full amount of $5,000,uw00 Deing subscribed to the local stock fund. It is, however, generally known that the execu- tive and finance comittees early in the cam- paign decided as a matter of policy that no fair would be held in St. Louis in 1%8 unless at least $15,000,000 was forthcoming towards the expenses of instailing it, the amount to be made up of equal eontributions by the subscribers, the municipality of St. Louis and the Federal Government. In correspondence with several large cor- porations this fact has been cited, and al- though no subscription has been accepted except on the uniform blank, a number Ol signatures have been received: on the faith of the declaration of policy aiready alluded to. Later developments tend to disprove the rumor of the reduction of the appropria- tion, and to show that instead of being iIn- structed to reduce the size of the amount, the subcommittee, with Congressman Steele as chairman, was appointed for the purpvse of remodeling the clause so as to make the payment a subscription rather than a do- nation, which would mean that the Federal Government would receive in return for its five million dollars its pro rata of profits on the same basis as the local subscribers and the municipality. This action was re- sented by the local workers, and a protest was sent to Congressman Barth»oldt, after it was learned that Congressman Joy would probably leave for Europe. The basis of the local objection to the proposed plan was that if the government was to share in the profits it shouid aiso share in the risk ds well. The Lane bill provides that the government shall make an appropriation of $5,000,000 only after $10,- 000,000 have been raised by the Fair pro- motens and expended to the satistaccion of the Secretary of the Treasury. From this it is argued that if the government is to share in the profits at all it should share in the risk also by making its donation at the start on the same basis as the St. Louis subscribers, and should also guaran‘ee to put up anything in excess of the $15,000,000 that may be required to carry the Fair to a successful issue. Information has been re- ceived which would indicate that the gov- ernment does not wish to establish the somewhat pecullar precedent of going into @ partnership in the Fair, and would prefer a make a direct appropriation of the $5,000,- 0. The members of the local committees are enthusiastic and anxious to work, and are using their utmost influence in the way of communicating to senators and congress- men urging their support of the bill. The fact that Congress wil] adjourn June 10 or 11, which is a few days earlier than was €x- pected, has stirred them up to renewed energy. Subscriptions are being obtained every day from people who had i -en re- ported ‘by the original canvassers as hav- ing refused to contribute, and the results obtained so far in this way indicate that no difficulty will be encountered in raising the $5,000,000 necese; ary to make the subscrip- tions binding. Assurances have been received from Washington that Congress will, despite the short time remaining in which to work for it, pass the Lane bill before adjourning. Should this be done there will probably be 4 mass meeting of citizens held here and the ee nery work will be gpeedily conclud- ed. Assurances of support and confidence from all over the country are coming in from organizations ‘of every character. A resolution will be intraduced at the Travel- ers’ Protective Association convention next week re-endorsing the project and urging Congress to take early action on the ap- propriation. Every mall brings to the office of the executive committee clippires f1em the lead'ng newspapers unconditionally supporting the bill, and although these clip- pings frequently number 30 to 40 a dav, there is nothing in any of them to indicate a sugpicion of opposition or even indif- ference. Gov. Francis yesterday received 2 com- municatton from Brussels, calling attention to Belgian interest in the St. Louls World's Fair, and sending some valuable statistics with reference to International expositions In Europe since the year 1851.

STREET CAR STRIKE HINDERED WORK OF DEPUTIES. The Cases Included Many for Divorce or Damage, They Being 90..Per Cent of the 409 Initiated This Term. Yesterday was last filing day for the June term of the Circuit Court, and 61 new suits were docketed, making the total 400 for the term. For the same term last year there were 458 suits, but more than one hundred of them were proceedings against corporations under the anti-trust law. The suits of the present term are regular litigation. Chief Service Clerk Becker of the sher- iff’s department was greatly hampered in his work this term by the strike. It was not so easy for his men to reach de- fendants as when the streetcars were in operation, and the result was that a large percentage of the summonses could not be served. Those cases will, consequently, not be tryable until the October term. In the suits filed yesterday, divorce and damage acts predominated, fully 70 per cent of the total being of that character. Fol- lowing are many of the new cases: DIVORCES. tose Y. Haas against Henry Haas. They were marmed Feb. 11, 1899, and separated, according to the petition, April 5, 1900.

E MISS BENNET —_— lO oh ADDS THE DEBUTANTE STAKE TO HER LIST. eee ee SHE WON IT RATHER EASILY. A Good Crowd Saw Saturday’s Races at the Fair Grounds Despite the Strike and the Rain. G. Cc. Bennett's chestnut filly, Miss Ben- Net, romped home in the Debutante Stake, the feature of Saturday’s card at the Fair Grounds, The crushing impost of 118 pounds that the litthe mare was asked to carry did not bother her in the least, and the race was just exercise. The other two siarters, Lady Schorr and Clorita, were doing their best at all times, but were Jutclassed. Miss Bennett laid be- tind until the first quarter was run, then she drew away and won in a common gallop. She has speed and can carry weight. So far the few 2-year-olds that have started have not shown any speed out of the ordinary, and Miss Bennett will prob- ably be the favorite in all the coming stakes tor youngsters. She won her last three outs before Saturday’s race, defeat- ing the best at the Memphis track. The third race on the card, in which Miss Mae Day and Sam Phillips were the first two choices, attracted the most atten- tion next to the stake. Both were even money choices, but Miss Mae Day had everything her way. She was off second Pinochie, while Phillips trailed ihe he latter made up lost ground, Was not strong at. the finish. Mae Day’s two races prove her to ' one Of ‘the best 3-year-olds quarterea at the local track, and she will be a dangerous contender in any field. The race helped Phillips, and he will run better. Pinochle has improved and needs watching. All the handicappers figured Celtic Bard a ‘“‘pipe’’ in the opening event, and they got down good. After getting a fair start the Bard raced his field into stubmis- sion and won cleverely. Rushfields was sec- ond aml El Derm third King’s Highway won the Also Ran I! and Lord Neville. The latter two raced themselves to pieces in front, while the winner, who was cleverly han- died by Dominick. was nursed along and brought with a rush at the finish, winning handily with lengths to spare.

The winner, a big bay gelding, looked (like a cart horse, but the touts shook their heads and whispered that he was a good one, prepared especially for this race.

Bonnibert closed favorite at 11 to 8 over Bellario and the Morris siable, which were quoted at 3 to 1 each. Eivery horse in the race had a following, however, Telamon being backed down from 20 to 12 to l. They were sent off first break to a good start with Telamon first.

Sheriff Seized Them at Memphis When They Were About to Be Shipped. Special to the Post-Dispatch. | MBMPHIS, Tenn., May 19.—T. J. Mc Hale’s stable of horses, including Our Nel- lie, Belle of Memphis, Medartha, Uncle Tom and Basquil, are in the hands of Sheriff Blackwell. They were enjoined by W. Wellmond, in his effort to secure the racehorse Johnny McHale, which has been a subject of litigation in the local courts for several years. McHale got wind of the effort to enjoin the shipment of Johnny Mc- Hale, and had the horse on his way across the river to Arkansas before the writ was served. The litigation dates back to 18M, when Wellmond claims that his wife en- tered into a copartnership for the training and racing of Johnny McHale. Mrs. Well- mond was to furnish the horse and Mc- Hale was to foot the expenses of keeping the profits. The horse started out badly and continued to run in the ruck, while McHale footed the bills. He began winning at St. Louis in 1896, and @uring the follow- ing three years had about $5000 to his credit. Mrs. Wellmond claims not to have received a cent of the winnings, but on the other hand McHd@e says she was not entitled to anything under their agreement. The suit was decided against McHale some time ago, Dut at the last session of the Supreme Court the verdict was set aside and re- | mande@ for trial. It came up a few days ago in the Circuit Court before a jury and McHale was given possession of the horse and the winnings and 1 cent damages. Mrs. Wellmond, however, is not to be downed. She has filed a bill in chancery bringing wp the entire case again, and asking for an injunction against to prevent him from removing the horse. McHale was preparing to ship his horses to St. Louls when he heard of the injunc- tion. He got Johnny McHale across the river, out of the jurisdiction of the court, and as the other horses are not connected with the suit at all it is not likely that they will be held long. anchihigsiciicidiiina STAUNTON AND HOMES.

Stopped at Union Station on the Way to Hot Springs and Gave Inter- esting Opinions on Various Timely Topics. Capt. Robley D. Evans, who commanded the battleship Iowa in the Santiago fight, ' July 3, 1898, and is one of the Most gallant | @nd picturesque officers of the American -mavy, passed through Union Station last might on his way to Hot Springs, where he ‘will eapend several weeks for his health. Bince he left the Iowa he has been occu- pied with inspection duties at Washington. For several months he has been troubled with rheumatism and his physician advised a trip to Hot Springs. “I have been assured that I can boil this _ ” ' woe o- 4 “A °° 4 J . lg om 0", id es cae A CAPT.

I contracted the rheumatism from too long continued service on a steel vessel, and it’s @ bad case, I can assure you.’’ ‘What kind is it, inflammatory or mus- cular?’ asked a listener. “TIT don’t know that, but I know it hurts iike —,” was the vigorous reply, which ‘seems to remove all doubt that the great ‘commander ‘‘cussed’’ when he _ shouted through a megaphone to a passing vessel what the Oregon was doing to the Cristobal Colon. Capt. Evans attaches to the little pro- fanity he indulges in more dignity and pic- turesqueness than any other person. “Fighting Bob,’ which {ts the sobriquet ‘with which the American people have lov- ingly dubbed him, looks as little like a hero @s one could imagine. He’*is small of stat- ure, modest almost to the point of bashful- mess, and possessed of a retiring disposi- tion. His gray eyes beam with kindness and it is only in the roughly molded face that the ruggedness and determination of his character are marked. He is smooth shaven an@ his brown hair is slightly tinged with gray. He walks with a limp, which is the result of a bullet wound he received in the knee at Fort Fisher during the civil war. He was then a midshipman. Although Capt. Evans is now doing land duty, he says he expects to go to sea again next fall if his health will permit. While he waited for his train, he talked interestingly to the Post-Dispatch. - “I must be excused from expressing opinions on political questions,’’ he said. “T am a naval officer and have no prac- tical knowledge of politics. Therefore, 1 could not say anything worth while on that subject. Then, I do not think it is wise for a naval officer to fool with poll- tics. I see Admiral Dewey is pursuing that course, and I am sure he will regret it. What does Dewey, used from his youth to the regulations of the navy, know about affairs of state? ‘It would have been a great deal better for him if he had not decided ta become @ candidate for anything. But he will not be driven out of the fie:d by hostile criti- That will only stir his blood up, and, when there is a chance for a fight, he may be counted on to take it. “T am giad to know that St. Louls gave him a grand reception. Dewey deserves ai! the honor his countrymen can bestow upon him, and it was wonderful the way he was received hare. That was worth more than jtime than being President, and I think he ifeels it. Dewey likes that sort of thing, ‘gust as the rest of us naval officers like it, or it assures us that our employers think we are performing our duties properly.” “Well, we would have given you a royal reception if you had let us know you were _coming,”’ chimed a. bystander. “Well, I can’t stand very much of that kind of an ordeal and Dewey can. Besides wey deserves so much more than I.

A mass meeting of the Twenty-sixth Ward Democratic Club was held last night at Liederkranz Hall, Easton and Vande- venter avenues. The meeting was preceded by a parade of the members, headed by Several hundred pe dred associations at the Lindell Hotel, at w together at AID M'COY AND YAN — THE TWO OLD RIVAIS MEET AT CHICAGO ON MAY 29. THEY HAVE MET TWICE BEFORE. Once McCoy Gave Ryan a Beating and the Second Time the Police In- terfered. The most interesting bout that has taken place in the West in years will be brought off at Tattersalls, Chicago, mext Tuesday night. **Kid’” McCoy, the Heosier-Gothamite, will then meet Tommy Ryan of Syracuse at 168 pounds. Of recent years McCoy has been fighting all the best ones in the heavyweight class, while Tommy Ryan has been sticking closely to the middleweight division and is very properly, in the opinion of the ma- jority of students, entitled to the cham- pionship laurels pertaining to that class. The first time the men met was in March, 1896, under the gm of the old Mas- peth Club on Long Island. The mill ended a victory for McCoy in 15 rounds and ft was practicallly the only defeat over which the Syracuse boy has ever had to worry. In September, 1897, the two met again in Syracuse and went into one of the liveliest fights ever seen in ringdom. For three rounds it was a mighty even and lively go, and then, some claim, matters got so lively that the police interfered and stopped the go in order to save Ryan. That’s what some claim, while others assert with equal emphasis that the Syracuse police did not Want to see the hospitality for which their city is renowned suffer by allowing Mr. Ryan to inflict too hard a beating on their guest from Indiana. George Siler refereed that fight and he called it a draw, and very properly. The newspaper accounts of it say that in the hast round or so Ryan was’~ chasing the ““Kid’’ around the ring at a wonderful gait and swinging uppercuts and things that were calculated to mar the ‘‘Kid’s”’ beauty if he collided with any of them. Anyhow, nobody has been able to bring these two clever men, admittedly the best generals in the ring, together since that time until Manager Houseman induced them to come Tattersalis by an offer of a purse of $6000 and the prestige that comes from fighting in the big Chicago Club. Champion Jeffries will be behind Ryan in the go. Ryan and Jack Jeffries are in Chi- cago already, and the McCoy camp will move soon. Manager Houseman has arranged an un- usually good card to go with the “Kid” McCoy-Tommy Ryan meeting at Tatter- salls on Tuesday, May 29. The other events on the card are: Billy Kendall vs. Eddie Smith. Harry Harris vs. Buddy Ryan. Art Simms vs. Martin Duffy. Barney Connors vs. Billy Stift. It is possible that another match which will give patrons of the game great delight may yet figure on the program. Michael in Great Form. Jimmy Michael, thé Welsh “rarebit,” Is certainly in great form this year. Although he has only beeh behind pace for two weeks weeks, he has alreadyl covered miles around the 1:40 mark. and his Work so far gives promise of seeing the Welshman a winner again this season.

But One or Two of the Youngsters He Paid Big Money For Have Won Brackets. Special to the Post-Dispatch. MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 18—The first dec- larations from the Tennessee Derby an. Tennessee Oaks for 1901, the classic fixtures of the Monigomery Park meeting, were due May 1, and have been announced by Sec- retary Macfarian of the new Memphis Jockey Club. There were originally n'nety-one nomina- tions to the Derby, of which sixteen were declared on May 1. Much interest is being manifested here in the showings the var'ous 2, 3 and 4- year-olds are making in the struggle for purses and stakes up the line, and already there has. béen several striking exemplifi- cations of the uncertainties always attached to horse and horée racing. Information reached here during the past week of the sale of A. H. & D. H. Morris’ 4-year-old Kentucky Colonel for $75. This son of Kantaka-Nocturn was pur- chased by the Messrs. Morris as a 2-year-ald when all of the youngsters from the farm of Col. James E. Pepper were sold. That was during the summer of ‘98 and $10,000 was the purchase price. Kentucky Colonel was brought to Mont- gomery Park early in 1899 and was put through a vigorous preparation for the Crescent Ci Derby of that year by young Robert Walden, who at the sume time de- veloped. Lady Contrary, Triaditza, Silver Fizz and Bonnevard. There were several other candidates in preparation at. Montgomery Park for the big prize of the Pelican City’s meet, in- cluding Queen of Song, who probably could have won it, but Kentucky Coione! nego- thated such dazziing miles and extra fur- longs through the deep sand in his early morning tryout that all the owners of lo- cal candidates deemed the trip to the Southern metropolis a fruitless one, and de- clined the issue. There was one exception, that being Jol- ly Roget, at that thme owned by Johnny Vetter, the Louisville poolroom man. Charley Patterson was training Jolly Roger at the time and the colt was shipped to start, not because Patterson thought he had a chance, but because Vetter imagi he knew more about the qualities of the various candidates than r. Patterson. The Derby resulted in a disgraceful de- feat for’ Kentucky Colonel, who ran un- placed. King Barleycorn won easily and only once since that thme has the all scarlet of the Morrisses been carried in competition by their $10,000 investment. He was put up for auction reeently and was bid in by Frank Kelly ‘for $76. There has’ been other cases of ‘glorious uncertainties’’: which have been very no- ticable in séveral ingtances on the local track this year.’ Charley Patterson, who got his first start at one of old East St. Louls tracks paid several saney prices for yearlings last year and.so far they have failed to demon- srate their worth with a few exceptions. Patterson. paid $7925 for Historian, a bay colt by Hanover—Aragon, but Historian has yet to, show his qualities as a racing machine. ' Bert Knapp, the a who rode all of Patterson's youngsters in their prelimin- ary gallops at the track last spring, is of the opinion .that. none of the high-priced colts will é¢vet amount to much, wit exception of Handwork, the son of Han- over, and Workmate, which Patterson re- cently sold for $10,000. Four thousand one hundred dollars was paid out by Patterson for his colt a few hours after he was foaled. The pick’ of the Patterson lot, to listen to Knapp and to judge from their public form isplayed, is All Green, a eon of Knight oF lierslie. This colt was foaled on St. Patrick’s day, and was not one of the expensive investments. Patterson believes in paying — prices for yearlings when they are bred on the right lines for, said he, “You pay a good price for a colt that should race well and the chances are largely in favor of you getting at least a good plater and there is a living in a first-ciass selling plater, and yet on tne other hand te have a chance of getting a stake orse.”’ Notwithstanding the motto Patterson pur- sues it is doubtful if he has made profit- able investments in the last two years. He aid $6100 for the counterfeit son of Lamp- if hter, Lamplighted, who is now some- where in the blue grass region hauling a plow or a cart. The highest priced yearte — by J. W. Schorr last year was Bab, a full! sister to W. Overton, for which was paid $1750, yet there are few judges of horse flesh that would give a part of Lady Schorr, a $650 investmeént, for the higher priced filly. Fred Hessig, Hanover-Reveal, was bought for $1700, but.Silverdale, Joe Frey and Farmer Bennett, less thought ef as yearlings, because they brought much cheaper prices, have been winning stakes and purses, while the higher prices Hessig has.been lying idle not yet having given —— of any good qualities as @ raging 0e The experience of G. C. Bennett has been almost the same. Miss Bennett, the speed marvel in the Bennett stable, who has broken records at Little Rock and at Mont- gomery Park, was one of the least expen- sive of the big bunch Mr. Bennett ek at the Eastern sales last summer. Miss Bennett cost $760, and bids fair to add sev- eral thousands of dollars to the coffers of Bennett by the time the snow files. The highest price id for a yearling by Mr. Bennett was for Handsqueeze, a son of Hanover—Squeeze, for which was paid $3500; but andsqueeze has never started -_ has been on the sick Ust most of the me. J. J. Marklein bought the so-called culls of the racing establishment boron ne to L. V. Bell, ‘the Wall street millionaire, when that individual contracted with Jim- my McLaughlin to train his string, vice Marklein. one of the ‘“‘culls’’ cost Mark- lein over $600, and from the bunch he has developed some of the best at present to ‘be found in the West. Garry Hermann, winner of several purses at Montgomery Park and a stake at Lakeside, was one of the culls of the Bell string, and he has ;shown so well that Marklein refused $7000 {for him. The Mecca and Harry Pulilam were also among the lot which Marklein bought from Bell, and this pair showed so well at the Memphia meeting that Sena- tor J. 8. O’Brien bought them in, paying $4200 for the two. These are a few of the many cases that go to exemplify the giorious uncertainties at- tached to horse a horse racing. The long standing litigation which has surround the horse Johnny McHale, the “Hindoo” of the St. Louis Fair Grounds 8- the winnings whieh all takd amounted to something over $10.000.

The Shortstop Hits Back and Then There Was Considerable All- Around Fun. DETROIT, Mich., May 19.—Some of the Chicago ballplayers painted the town last night, and there are some sore heads among them to-day. Three or four of them tried to drink all the beer they could hold and succeeded fairly well. John Barleycorn soon gat in his work, and then Shugart and Mc- G'll became invoived in a mix-up. Shugart pasted McGill a few lively ones, but friends split them, and thought it was ali over. Not so, the doughty little pitcher. He came back strong and landed a couple of s00d unes on Shugart. The latter quickly recovered himself, and got McGill in cnincery and jolted him quite a bit. They were again split, but for the third time McGill came back and landed on the shortstup. shupert then got his fighting blood and would have made the pitcner look like & deuce if he had been given a chance.

Pete Cavallo and his tribe of Indians of the orchestra of Haviin’s Theater leave this morning for their annual outing on the Gas- conade River, where they indulge in fishing and other pastimes. The orchestra has had a busy season of it as a whole, and none of them are at all sorry that it is now at an end. The scheme of these outings wae conceived three years ago, and since then they have become a regular thing at the end of each season. They have been so en- ned onan in the past that the boys ‘do not a ow any graés to grow under their feet, but take the frst train out of town for Ar- lington after they are relieved of their du- ties. How are the expenses paid, and the character of the sport? Those are the most interesting of the features. The fund {is accumulated by a system of fines devised by Leader Cavallo, and geome of the best of the fun is when Pete has to fine himself. The fines are graded on various offenses, such as talking back to the leader or to each other, being late at rehearsal] or at overtures, flirting or any one of a number of other charges. The Havlin’s orchestra is one of the most prompt tn the history of the theaters of St. Louis, but in the as- sessment of fines Pete always has this out- ing in view. Last year he had $121 in the treasury, and his diligence this season is shown by the fact that he now has $135. ee pays —_ meet Fw the expenses.

Roaring Bill Everett Traded to Kan- sas City. CHICAGO, May 19.—President Hart to- day made a trade with the Kansas City American League Club, exchanging Bill Ev- erett for John Ganzel, and throwing in Pitcher Phyle and Outfielder Sam Dungan. Magnate Manning of Kansas City coms to Chicago in quest of players, and made the local club an offer for the releases of Dun- gan and Phyle that was rejested. Then a counter proposition was made by resident Hart whereby Kansas City gets the men it was after, together with Everett, in re- turn for Ganzell. Speaking of the deal. Mr. Hart praised the basebal] ability of er- ett In a flattering manner, but declared the Chicago crowd had tired of the firstbase guardian and clamored for a change. “He has been accused of letting iuterest in horseracing interfere with his seball,’”’ added Mr. Hart, “and while I think this is untrue and an Injustice to Everett, yet the fans could not be swerved from their opinion.’’ John Ganzel, the new first baseman, is a brother of the famous Charley Ganzel, one of the greatest catchers that ever wore @ protector and mask. Everett and Phyle declare they will not go to Kansas City to play. The iatter says e will quit the business rather than go back to a minor league. He @eclares he is in excellent condition and that Manager Loftus has not given him a chance to show his worth. verett Was angry when he heard of the deal and intimated that he would not abide by it.

CINCINNATI, May 19.—Another turf sen- sation was sprung yesterday when it was announced that Jake Holtman had been engaged to do the starting at the Haw- thorne meeting. Pi Holtman is engaged by the Newport track for the coming season, but it is more than likely that he will go to Chicago after the first week's work at the Licking Valley track. Last fall during the racing at Newport several of the leading officials of the Haw- thorne track witnessed Holtman’s cyuperb work with the flag. and the result is that he will in all probability drop the fiag at the wthorne track which opens on May 2. It is stated on the best of authority that James F. Caldwell will take Holtman’s place in event of the latter going to Chi- to cago. “The selection of Mr. Holtman as starter for the Chicago Jockey Club ts quite a com- pliment to his ability. and his friends here- abouts wish him success. Holtman is a product of the Queen City track, and made his first start at Newport while assisting “‘Curly"’ Brown, who has few equals at the barrier. After Brown re- signed at Newport Holtman took up the work, and did it so well that he was secured by Manager Fowler. Mr. Fowler is much pleased to see Holtman — suc rapid strides toward the top. and «ill not stand in his way in case Hoitman signs a contract with the Ch'cago track. FUN IN BOSTON.

GREATEST OF RACE RIDERS. In His Many Years on the Race Track He Has Never Ridden a Sus- picious Looking Race. There are two jockeys at the Fair Grounds who are as far ahead of the other race riders at work there as one can throw a stone. One of them ts Charley Thorpe, who rode Yellow Taii to victory in the Inaugural and who in a long and bruising race is the best of all the jockeys. The other is Tommy Burns, who has & happy faculty of beating all others away from the post and who in a eprint race has the edge o: all the other boys riding at the Fair Grounds. Thorpe talks of retiring from the turf, and if he does quit the business the racing world will lose about the only jockey in 1% who never rode a suspicious looking race in his lIffe, and who is considered the squarest and fairest race rider in the busi- ness. Post-Dispatch man on Frida I begin to feel as though it was about time for me to quit the business. “I had concluded to retire at the close of the California racing season and go to my Nebraska farm and stay there. “But while out tn California two months ago, Capt. Hackett, who owns Yellow Tail, came to me and asked me to ride his horse in the St. Louis Inaugural. “I looked at the list of probable con- tenders and I said, ‘Captain, there’s only one horse in there you have to beat. That's Thrive, the Cahns’ entry.’ “Two months later I was here in St. Louis, riding Yellow Tall, and sure enough Thrive was the only horse I had to beat. “Indeed, when the two horses came to- ether at the head of the stretch I thought was beaten. “Yellow Tall finished first, but it was all he could do. He waa badly tired at the fin- ish. The track was not to his’ liking.

Billy Bruen, who !s starting the horses at the Fair Grounds, has done very pretty work all week. In the Inaugural he got his field away without a peep of daylight be- tween any of the horses. In the breeding of thoroughbred race horses all is not sunshine. The get of imp. Albert won $97,061 In 1899. This is gratifying to his owsers, and every citizen of Hopkinsville probably is of the great horse ailing from town. But contrast the work of some other stallions with that of Albert and ro stand face to face with disappointment. Bondholder, for instance, ts credited with $7. an insignificant trifie for a horse with a high sounding name; Blue Rain with $15, Bothwell with $18 Bob Hartlett with . Bouncer with $30, Boulevard with $37 Blue wing with $0. Every letter in the al- habet yields as B does a percentage of piti- ul failures. Fortunately the breeder is of a hopeful disposition, and he persevéeres when the tide seems to be running again®t him.

She was then in foal to Pardee, and the next spring foaled Hardy Pardee. a horse of considerable class. In she was bred to G. W. Johnson, who was then 4 free stallion, and from that union, in 1897, Lieut. Gibson was foaled. Lieut. Gibson was developed by Baker & Gentry, and in the spri of his 2-year-old form was sold to C. H.

In the general convention held in Wash- ington in 1898 the House of Bishops dis- cussed the proposition to make this change. ‘But tn a final vote the proposition was de- feated. The House of Deputies, while the other ‘house was discussing the matter, deemed it ' best not to take it into consideration at all. But they did appoint a ‘“‘committee on the canon of marriage and divorce,”’ to sit dur- , ing the recess and to submit their report to ‘the session of general convention, which Is to meet in San Francisco in October, 1901. The members of this committee,are the Rev. Drs. Dix and Hoffman of New York City, Rev, Dr. Davenport of Memphis, Rev. Dr. Mann of Kansas City, Rev. Dr. Fulton of Philadelphia and the Rev.

There are no courts in which to try h¢eretics; no tests save the accepted standards of Orthodoxy. One thing that holds tiem together is the united enthusiasm in the @Vuangelistic and missionary work. Whiie we allow a wide difference of opinions on the nonessentials of religion, there is the pervading sentiment that the work of the church ia to evangelize the world The question of educational institutions has always been a paramount one. Whliie the value of education has always been emphasized, and we have bean open to in- Vestigation, along all biblical lines, yet we dave never succeeded in building schucls @s well as many denominations. It is a singular coincidence that Mr. N. ©. Hillis has withdrawn from the presby- tery on account of holding the same views @s set forth by Barton W. Stone.

Church has long been done with antong us, and the Disciples certainly rejoice that the image breakers have at !ast turned loose on a theology which is retanliing the advancement of the more liberal Christian- ity. The Disciples have contended for a life of strict morals and they condemn worldly amusements and sinful indulgences, but it is not by legislation as in a Book of Dis- cipline, but by the preaching of a living Christ, who is Lord over men’s lives. We share the same permanent issue which faces the entire Christian Church; namely, the relation between the old school of theology and the so-called new—the re- lations to higher criticism. As in all other churches there are two elements, the con- servative and the liberal. While at times there are sharp clashes between the two branches, it {s usually in a fraternal spirit. Some of our schools hold to the ultra-con- servative views; others are more liberal, and many young men from our ranks are finding their way Into the Eastern univer- eities. This matter of criticism will never be an occasion for open rupture. There will probably be the two phases of thought, and the liberal element seems to me to be gain- ing ground, The spirit of freedom is tending to overrule the spirét of provincialism and bigotry. It may come slowly, as by evolu- tion, or it may come suddenly, as by revo- lution; but sooner or later we shall pass out from under the domain of many nar- row ideas and from the thralidom of Lex- ington theology into the broader thinking of this age and into the atmosphere of freedom in ahich the Campbells and the early reformers moved. BAXTER WATERS. ~-0-02o-0- : SPREAD OF 7 ow METHODISM. w : + +2 ee a ee a es a ia tals ia iad By Rev. Issac S. Hopkins, Pastor of St. John’s Church. T's quadrennial gathering of the high council of the Northern branch of Methodism, now in session in Chica- go, has been the occasion of a widespread interest. Things already debated and things yet to be discussed have suggested inquiry, and have been the occasion of no little gpecuia- tion as to how far the vital interests of this great church will be affected in the near or remote future by such decisions as may be reached by this general confer- ence. Naturally enough this in . “ By Rev. Dr. Michael Burnham, Pas- tor ot the Pilgrim Congre- gational Church, tional Church, in common with all evangelical churches, at the present time its, How to get people to believe in Jesus Christ—that Is, to accept him as sa- viour and obey him as Lord, as he has re- vealed himself in his Gospel. I answer in this way because in any evangelical church the pending question is always that—the great question is always that. It Is only the few who turn aside to make nolse or commotion over any other question, The downright honest workers in our Churches are not threshing over the oid straw of creeds or ritualism or methods of administering a sacrament or any other smaller or side issue; they are quite content ta leave that to other people. Moreover, the most consecrated workers are usually making the least commotion about the Statement of great truths which have once been stated arceptably. The great burning question of the day for us all is, How best to fulfill the great com- mission as given by Christ to his church. “Ga, disciple all nations’’—how to give the Gospel an adequate expression, to procure for the Gospel an adequate hearing, and to secure obedience to its commands and Its truth and the love expressed in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is tn itself life eternal. This ts the great question of the hour. No other questian to-day is worth serious consideration. All evangelical crecds, while in different centuries and different times they have emphasized different truths, are in the main, tebliical, and the men for the most part who disagree with theen disagree with the word of God. Different: truths have been emphasized in different centuries and the truth that needs to be emphasized to- T HE pending question in the Congrega- nay day may not have been emphasized properly two, or one, or even a half century ago. The word of Goad is three-fold in its re lation to scholarly thovght—theological, historical, literary—and no man, no body of men deal fairly with it who shut up either avenue of approach. The Lord Jesus Christ also comes to us tn a three- fold way: G1) Through ecclestastical dogma, in which the church has appeared sometimes feli- oftiously and wholesomely, and sometimes not so wholesomely as the churvh militant. (2) Christ comes te us again as a historie savior, with power ta lay down his life and pqwer to take it again, with his lifted cross and his open sepulchre. (3) But Christ fs nearest, efficient and sufficient fer us, as experimental lfe—e life which never forgets the power of éc- cleslastical dogma in its day, or the facts which form the historic basis of our faith, which no man can ga'insay or deny. The Lord Jesus Christ must live tn us the hope of glory; he must be imparted to us by his His holy spirit. And the great burning question of our church ts more and more, how to procure for such a Christ an adequate expression, a candid hearing, a loving ohedience from men whose eternal destiny hangs on their acceptance or rejection of the person, word and work of Jesus Christ, our Lord, as re- vealed in the gospel and borne witness to by the conscience of every man face to face with gospel truth. M. BURNHAM. i i i i By Rev. W. J, McKittrick, Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, N MY opinion, one of the chief needa of | the Presbyterian Church ifs for a short creed statement, clear, drawn straight from the Bible; meaning just what it says; saying just what it means, expressed in modern phraseology; containing just the backbone and ribs of the gospel: not an involved argument; not a philosophical dis- sertion; not a network of metaphysics; not a weapon for controversy, but a creed over- flowing with Christ, dominated by the ime- mense spiritual reality of the love of God for all men, radiant and eloquent with @ universal offer of salvation to the whole world. A creed against which the faith of a united church can lean and on which {t can stand and toll with a sunrise face; a creed whose brevity shall be matched by its comprehensiveness, whose emphasis shall be put im the right place, whose exe position of Christian truth can find tts way tnto the comprehension of the unilettered and unlearned, whose logic shall be that of light, whose persuasions shall easily join themselves to those of the spirtt of God within us; a creed that shall be a sonorous marching order, a ringing battle cry—s#ommee thing that we can follow without perpetual explanation and defense; that shall not call for timid and half-hearted apologetics; that shall be to the Christian what the stars and stripes are to the patriot; a creed that cas be boiled down into daily inspiration for daily life; that shall have less to do with barbed wire fences than with the fruitful slopes of the kingdom of God and the joys ous songs of the harvest reapers; a plain creed, a creed with wings*on it, with re@ blood In its veins, with tron in its nerves, but with Jesus in ite heart and love on i's Mps—a Christian creed, a conquering creed, Ww. i Mo’ KITTRICK. which now hangs fire in the Presbyterian STORIES .# TOLD wt BY .# MISSIONARIES .« WHO By Dr. O.

There are persons who are criminals from habit. The law is very severe now on habitual criminals. At the second offense they go up for life. For instance, a man has committed burglary in the second degree—that is, breaking into a store or house with intent to steal—and is convicted and sentenced to serve three years, and then to prison fos life. I think that is severe enough. I think that our criminal code is extensive enough and severe enough. If properly ad- ministered it is well calculated to check and suppress crime, and I think it does. By Judge Willis H. Clark, Court of Criminal Correction. HB whipping post ts a relic of barbar- ism. It is nansense for civilized peo- ple to talk of a return to that mode of pun'shment, It belongs to the darkness of the Middle Ages, to the midnight cen- turies when the rack and the thumbscrew tortured men until they told lies to be re- lieved. What we need is not severer punishment, but a stricter enforcement of the laws that we now have. Enforce the laws without fear or favor, and criminals will not need the lash. Overcome the present tendency to- ward working “influence” to get convicted offenders out of prison before they have served the!r time or suffered the other pun- ishment inflicted. Another thing—eet rid of that mawkish sentimentality that turns criminals out. Give the bouquets to the poor,and the sick, outside of the jails, instead of to the people who by their own misdeeds have gotten themselves into confinement. The whipping post would only make men more brutal. It would arouse in them the sleeping savage. It would stir up the red blood af anarchy that is latent in thelr veins. The whipping post would do no good, and it is silly to talk about establishing such @ mediaeval mode of punishment here in en- lightened Missouri. By Judge Selden P.

Most people know the agave "8 the cen- tury plant, so called because of an ‘rron- eous impression that it blossoms Dut once in a hundred years. In its native habitat the agave matures in from three to four years. Taken from its native soil to new and strange environment, it matures in from 20 to 6 years. As a rule the save dies after it blossoms and perfects its furit, though some varieties are perennial. The agave and the yucca are quite similar ‘m general appearance, and only the trained botanist can.tell them apart. The chief mark of distinction between the two is that the agave usually has marginal spines en its leaves, while the yucca is destitute ef this weapon of defense against hungry animals which, were it not for the sharp spines, would greedily devour the 1gave tO obtain the precious liquor which it holds in its thick, fleshy leaves. Those who visit the garden to inspect the @gave collection will be unable, as a rule, to tell which of the numerous plants in the Gepartment of succulents belong to that genus. Many of the agaves will be without the long, Slender upright stalk which springs up from the center of the leaf tuft when the century plant gets ready to blos- gom. This stalk grows with marvelous rapid- ity. It is marked at regular intervais by what at first appear to be small leaves, but as the stalk develops they change into sym- getrical bracte which give the stem a (Jointed appearance. | The base,of the century plant is of slow igrowth.

Hoge Tyler, the Virginian appointed a few years ago as consul-general at Mexico, who Was recalled after his first tilt with the Azteo beverage. From other species of the agave the Mex- icans distill a delightful beverage called mescal, which allures to dream-delicious siestas if taken too iiberaltly. But even the Prohibitionists cannot find fault with the agave in so far as its roots and leaves produce a substance which has fine cleansing qualities and is made into excellent soap. This soap smooths the skin and keeps the Spanish senorita’s comp‘exion an ever-enticing attraction to the wooing senor. It removes spots from clothing. It lathers the face of the don for shaving. The roots and leaves of the agave also produce a great deal of mucilage, and sev- eral eorts of salts are manufactured from their sticky exudation. The Aztecs, Mayas and other early resi- dents of Mexico made saddle clothes, sacks, ropes and thread from the fiber of the leaves and stem of the century plant. Mexi- can peons still derive an income from these products. The flowering stalk furnishes handles for the man with the hoe, poles for the angler and wall building mateyial for houses. The end spine with its attached filament is used as needie and thread. In warm climates the agave makes a very secure hedge for fencing purposes, It beats barb wire, euch ts the siting of its in- numerable spines. When dried the flowering stem makes first-class razor strops. Rubbed with water it foams and lathers. In Yucatan the agave is a source of nev- er-falling weelth. The value of the fiber for commercial uses was recognized there centuries ‘ago, and there are plantations where plant is grown and cultivated ket. ‘ xls F Bink : j ni at Sar 4 poy ee 4 OO ini See WK aS = beer 2 none in bloom. For amusement the s0l- diers beheaded thousands of the plants. The muttflated agaves then threw up spikes and more than 1500 were crowned with flow- ers at one time, making a magnificent spectacle. When wounded the agave has a tendency to throw out bateral etalks with blossoms. An outdoor group at Shaw's Garden which will be of special interest in view of the political situation is composed of the giant bamboo from the Phiiippine Islands. This is the first setting of this huge plant brought to St. Louis. The giant bamboos are only three feet high, but Head Gar- dener James Gurney expects them to grow 20 feet high this season. They wil be put under shelter for the winter. Of this bam- boo the Filipinos build their houses, many comfortable residences being constructed of it from floor to roof. They aiso make all kinds of furniture and numerous fancy ar- ticles of the same material. There is a new group of Japanese lilacs, nearly 100 in number. Of late this genus has been greatly improved, and the group will add much to the deiight of visitors. In the comservatories will be found some splendid new specimens of the red-stemmed heliconta. Artistically grouped among the white-stemmed plants of this genus they form a atriking picture The leaves are fleshy and beautifully ribbed. A new collection of rex begonias has been received from England. This plant is named for Michel Begon, a French scientist of the seventeenth century. It bears a singularly showy flower. Skillful crossing makes very great diversity in the brilliant coloring of its leaves, which are large, oblique and fleshy. Some of the species bear leaves remarkably siknilar to. ele- phants’ ears. Mr. Gurney is making provision for a large addition of water lilies. The new @nes are very beautiful They are of the , hardy variety and the blossom is of a pure white rarely attained. One fine lily is named for William Falconer, superintend- ent of parks at Pittsburg; upon another the botanist has bestowed the name of James Gurnev. These lilies have started to bloom and will be in blossom until winter. There are six seedlings which will exhibit blooms this summer not seen heretofore. Something grand is promised. The gardener is planting heavily of shrub- bery, both deciduous and evergreen. Trees and shrubs are being set by the thousand, so many having been destroyed by «he February ice storm, which did as much “amage to the garden as did the great cy- clone. Some new yuccas brought from Texas and Prof. Trelease add to the embel- the lawns. Mexico by lishenent of A. — YOUR GARDEN IN SPRING. ——— a By Jamzs Gurney, Head Gardener of Shaw’s Garden. F LATE years there has been a no- ticeable increase of interest in flower gardeaing. Persons who have | a small plot of ground can beautify it with plants and blossoms at little expense and with easy work that will serve as healthful exercise. If you have a lawa plot from 10 to 20 feet in width I would suggest that you meke a bed of irregular line around the limits, planting it with shrubbery, and in be- tween the shrubs plant clumps of hyacinth, tulips, daffodils or fleur-de-lis. These should be set out in the fall, so that the bubs will grow a good, strong mass of roots for the spring blossoming work. You will get much finer blossoms if you plant the bulbs : Pores bes : eer a pi ae a a ee P in October than by waiting until spring.

The first oo thapter opens with the story of a young eft country. girl, hopelessly fll, who had gone to Chicago for medical treatment and who had been placed by friends in the care of a “divine healer.” Every incident in the book, even to the experiences of Master William Dodges, hinges on some phase of Christian Science teaching.

It was ar- ranged that the healer should pray, for cer- tain periods, every day, fixing the petition on the shorter leg, and that it should grow longer. Sure enough, it grew, but unfor- tunately Le Motte lost the address of the healer, and so could not stop him in time, and the leg grew too_long, longer than the one which had been too long before. A great effort was made, and at last the heal- er wae found, and now she is trying to equalize the short and long limbs again. * * ° “That story reminds me,” eald Yule, “of the Mormon who had the misfortune to jose a leg through an accident with a mowing machine.

Now, there has been for years a lad living near me—I won't go into the med- ical history of his case—but he has never been e@ble to stand up or even sit up, by reason of gome weakness of the spine. All the doctors nave had a try at him, and he ° has been a star attraction at many a clinic. Well, this lad—he is about 19 years old now—had long ago been given up as hope- less. We put him fm a plaster vest, and thought ft the best that could be done. “When Dr. Jowler began to attract the peoplesta his preachings, this lad was among those who went to him, and he was cured, That plaster cast hangs up in Jow- ler’s church now; anyone can go and see it, and the boy’s backbone seems to be reason- ably useful.” Yule was amazed. “How do you explain it, doctor?” he asked. “I don’t explain it,’”’ was the reply.. “I tell it, but I can’t explain it. It was probably a faith cure, and when I have said that I haven’t explained it. What I think is that there are laws of mind and matter which are obscurely suggested at times, but not underatood. It is certain that cures are sometimes effected by the agencies aroused by faith in an overruling power. That is al] I can say. But Jim Andrews’ plaster vest hangs up among Jowler’s trophies.”’ _ * . Dr. Jowler’s preaching place had been a church formerly belonging to a great Ppis- copal organization which had drifted south- ward as business forced its way and thrust far in front of it all things social and re ligious, The abandoned church had been a storehouse or something of that sort, though necessarily unfitted for a business Structure, but had been seized upon by the knowing Jowler as a place fitted for his uses. It had answered his purposes very well, There was a great crowd passing in as Yule and Narcissa entered the building, and when they found themselves within they became a part of a congregation of over two thousand people. An austere man, thin- faced, with side whiskers, but with vacant blue eyes, which @estnoyed the force af his personality, came up the aisle and showed them to a seat. There was the usual under- current hum of a congregation waiting for the exercises to begin. Yule, hard-headed man the world, looked about and felt the pulse of things, and then loaked down into the face of the hopeful girl beside him. He was not content as he studied her coun- tenance, and wag still less content as he studied the faces of the people around and about him and above in the galleries. He knew them in a momeftt. He knew the type who can be attracted together by a certain sort of vinlous intelligence and animal mag- netism, and understood why this preacher of a cheap new gospel could so contro! his group and get constantly new adherents. Within a Yew mimutes he saw it all. and measured and ticketed Jowler, but he said nothing. He waited for Narcissa. * * © © "Yow the elders of the church of broad and the elders arranged themselves upon it on either of tl desk. They were an extraordinary lot. There were men with long white whiskers and shaven up- per lip; there were men with little side whiskers (these younger men and no other hair upon their face. Ther were shaven, stolid looking men; there was one who was manifestly the wreck of a once inteligent, educated man; there were types and tyTfes:, but the whole suggestion to Yule was that of such must have been the men whom Joseph Smith gathered about him after he claimed to have found the miraculous upon which the in- stitution of Mormonism is built. They seat- ed themselves formally and looked with dignity upon the admiring congregation. For some minutes the choir had been slowly coming in to their seats, which rose sloping far upward back of the pulpit. It occupied a great bank of seats and afford- ed room for many people, but every seat was filled. Then came filing in from either side, climbing up to their allotted places, white robed, and in a way impressive; they had surplices and students’ caps, and had evidently been duly drilled and disciplined.

Then he knelt down and prayed.

There were a lot of men born and bred upon the Arabian sands who have ever done excellent fighting for their faith of the prophet, which faith is widespread still. From the outecene of all these faiths, with its thousands of priests and ministers and ehurch servitors in all their names and all their degrees, it is doubtful if there ever issued from the lips of any one of the promoters such a prayer as came from the lips of the “Reverend Doctor” Jowler on this oceasion. The congregation avere absolutely silent as they knelt with the black-clad, baldheade@g and white-whis- kered, middle-aged man to pray, and then the fanatic, to use a common and vulgar expression, but one fitted to this accasion, “out loose.” He prayed, primarily for the almost as him furious ne eurious ssion. Jewish expr shepherds, and conventional things, and a portion of the gongregation clamored out in chorus; then, om . on i ie 7 : 3 é ms Se ee, ph te * ies F TAE SUBUEC * oe to use another common expression, he “got down to business.” He alluded most vig- orously to certain things existent, but re- served his real dealing with them for his eermon. About one-fourth of the congrega- tion heaved up and down appreciatingly 4s he prayed. After a final ‘‘Amen"” he arose, and there wis mare singing by the choir and by the congregation, the hymns being read out verse by verse for them by Jowler. It is queer about a preacher of this sort. He is so absorbed in himself that he can- not even differentiate. The sermon of this man was but his extended prayer. It was all personal, and either self-laudatory or denunciatory. On this day he particularly attacked the newspapers, pork-eating and the Masonic crder. In vituperation and the calling of hard names he excelled. He was not at all over nice in his epithets, either. He called upon his congregation to stand up and announce by their vote whether this or that of what the had said was right or not. He told of the extraordinary progress of his church throughout the world, and gave details as to the advancement. Through all ran appeals for money. From the visiting elders, some of whom were present adventitiously, he dragged up one or two who testified bunglingly as to the progress of the church in other lands. Hie read a chapter from the New Testa- ment, roaring out the phrase, “O ye Seribes and Pharisees,” as he read, with peculiar unction. This portion of the chapter seemed to be the text sermon, though he did not announce any text definitely. “QO ye Scribes and he bel- lowed. “Ye say that I am not a regular preacher of the Gospel! But have | not immersed.more than all of you pat to- gether within the last 12 months?” “O ye Scribes and Pharisees Here he ehook aloft over his head a handful of clippings from a religious journal. “O ye Scribes and Pharisees!

It was a perfect sunburst of a bawlh Jowler checked himself suddenly, gritted his teeth and then roared. The queer- looking ushers made a rush for the offend- ing in. .ocent from whose anatomy the cry had come, and a mother and child were hustled from the room. With a mighty effort Jowler controlled himself and returned to his preaching. “O ye hypocrites! Where is the healing of the nations? How many miracles are recorded in the Bible? Perhaps two or three dozen, and even concerning them, the particulars given are few. Where is the healing of the nations? Look up at the walls there! Look at the crutches! Look at the braces! Look at the casts! Our heal- ings are recorded on the plaster there. Read my papéer, buy “The Rod and Staff’ and read the story of miracles by the thousands that have been wrought in Sinai.

And the thing went on. The man stood there, thundering and roaring in the pulpit, a man certainly remarkable in some ways. He stood there and talked, coarse all the time, ribald some of the time, and still with a degree of potent force. Human beings up to a certain degree of intelligence —a pretty low one—he could control. 7” the nations? so silly Dodge was fast drifting, although uwrnconsciously, toward a crisis in his re- ligious and worldly experiences. At school, during the last term, and so far in the summer vacution, his scheme of fortifying his physical powers with mental lants tin the ferm of warlike ‘thoughts’ had worked well. His chief rival for the of war, an energetic youngster whose name, Jim MaMasters, proclaimed his Irish ancestry, he had soundly thrashed more than once since adopting his new tac- tics.

He aimed a wild blow at his caper- ing opponent, but drove into soundiess air only, and bdefore he could* recover himself the capering opponent had “landed” on Billy’s cheek !n a most surprising, but a@i- together unrefreshing manner, h The concussion made the cheek the color of an old-fashioned peony, and the War caused the nose to bleed a little as the astonished Billy staggered back under a impact of a clenched fist. The rea] fight began, but Billy, though he made a strong effort to rally, was beaten, and he knew, or thought he knew, why he was beaten. “It was holding the thought that @one.it.” he faltered, aa he fel] after a quick stroke from Jim.

How could he look up and face his victorious foe? He decided rather to con- tinue his efforts to die, and forthwith stif- fened out Into such rigidity as can be ob- served only in the bodies of those who have been dead 48 .hours. This maneuver frightened the lads around him. “See here!’’ said Johnny Flynn, “Billy’s hurt bad, an’ we ought to do something.” “He looks déad!’’ whimpered little Davy Runnion, the smallest boy present, and he ran off to tell Jim McMasters, who stood at ease, at-a short distance, arranging his disordered dress.

In the center he sagged slightly, despite his silent efforts to be rigidity itself. The small procession was preceded by a rabble of white-faced small boys, while the rear was guarded by Jim McMasters, meditating on the reflec- tion that victory might be too dearly bought. Just as they reached the front steps of Mrs. Dodge’s house and were be- ginning the tug up toward the door, Jim burst into a loud bawl, and this so much disconcerted the youngsters who Were car- rying Billy that they almost dropped him on the white doorstone.

ll SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—MAY 20, 1900. ONCE TRUSTED BY KINGS, NOW A POOR LABORER Romantic Story of Adolph Hann, Who Works as a Gardener ina St. Louis Suburb. DOLPH HANN wears rough jeans clothes and does odd jobs around the homes of Tuxedo Park and Webster Groves—suburbs of St. Louls, Beneath his rough exterior lies hidden « hero of romance. He has been the trusted servant of two monarchs. He has been a Lutheran minister in Den- mark, a professor of ectiences in Copenha- gen University, a man of ecience, repute, even fame. He is what he 1s for love. Sixty-two years ago Hann was born in a little village in the interior of Denmark, His father was a teacher, a scion of a noble family which had become impoverished. Tt was the dearest wish of Hann senior that Adolph should become a minister of the gospel. All his plans were made to this ef- fect and great sacrifices were made to se- cure the fulfillment of his desire, Adolph was put through the grammar and high school Ai.j acquitted himself well. Then, when 19 years old, he was sent to a theological insti. dution. His first charge eas a preacher was a small parish near his birthplace. The father died. Then Adolph, feeling that the best field for his abilities was not in the pulpit, sought and obtained a position as teacher in one of the Danish puwblile schools. Two years after a piece of good fortune befell him. A law firm in Copenhagen noti- fied him that a distant relative, whom he had never seen, had died and left him a legacy of $10,000 in American money. With the means in hand he began to long fora higher education, While he was employed as a teacher he met and loved Katherine Opp, the daughter of a merchant who lived near his school. His love was reciprocated. But Adolph felt that marriage, when he knew himself to be so undeveloped, would not bring happi- ness either to himself or Katherine. He thought that if he could take a course of scientific study he could offer his loved one a better station in life than he could as a public school teacher. Katherine de- murred. She looked at the matter from a woman's standpoint—that of love alone. It was Adolph she wanted and not his position. In spite of her objections, however, he went 10 Copenhagen and entered the university. His flancee was angered by this course, She thought Adolph acted in hardness of heart and had no real affection for her. His latters to her were thrown—unopened—into the fire. listened to the wooing of another man, and six moths after Adolph’s departure gave her hand in mar- She even “1a By almost superhuman effort Hann Managed to secure a degree as civil kineer in two years. At once he returned to the scene of his former labors, hoping to teclaim Katherine. But she was now a wife and mother and had gettled down to a common-place provincial life with her hus- band. en- en POETESS OF PASSI _- so ee Wrote Verse Which Was Printed in a Small Edition That She Has Vainly Tried to Sup- press.

There he plunged into the study of abstract science and sought obliv- ion in difficult researches. For seven years he remained engrossed in these unremunera- tive studies. Then, because of his unusual learning, he was appointed a professor in the Copenhagen University. He acquired local renown as an authority in matters of physical science. Finally he came under the personal ob- servation of King Frederick VIII. It was dae to the urging of the latter that he tried to use his Knowledge in practical fields. He accepted the position of govern- ment land supervisor and inspector. This office was very important at the time, as new surveys were being made and a scien- tific tabulation of the resources of the king- dom was being elaborated. In this post he gained more laurels and yet greater meputa- tion, Meantime, though his brow was lined with wrinkles of study and care, he had not for- gotten Katherine Opp. At this time he was offered by Emperor William of Germany a position similar to the one he held in Denmark. The work to a2 ain be done was of a like nature but on a much larger scale. He accepted and changed the field of his efforts to German soil. For 10 years he remained in the service of the German Emperor. During the Franco- Prussian war he served with dist-nction upon the staff of a corps commander.

He was sitting with the Empress in the imperial box of the lit- tle Ischl Theater and the first act was draw- ing towards its end, when a lady entered with much rustling of silk and a sweet smile of apology to those who had to rise to make room for her in one of the first rows of stalls. It was Katharina Schratt, the pretty and talented actress of the Stadt Theater in Vienna, Her friends say that she has not been punctual a single time in all her life, and being late on this night was lucky, because it was thus she attracted the Hmperor’s attention. He asked the intendant of the Court Theaters, Baron Hoffmann, who was that charming person, Baron Hoffmann answered: Mme. Schratt of the Stadt Theater,’’ and the Emperor asked again: — O MPPs ie ips Ae ae Sa ' ; | “Why is she not in the Burg Theater?” ERY ee ae eae a LoS fitions ; . . ae eee BR yi Ze 3 The Empress concealed a smile and took PLES 4 rm rae fee es ee Ye ‘i rf ii tt eg il a good look at the woman who had mt a . a” ! | bn itt!

These reports have caused his family no concern. They knew they were mere court speculations. But they have been and are deeply concerned at the possibility of the aged Emperor forming a morganatic union With the court actress, Katti Schratt. She is the one woman who for 15 years has possessed the affections of the head of all the Hapsburgs. It is a remarkable story, and the Sunday Post-Dispatch correspond- ent has collected the true facts of fis cu- rious entanglement from the best informed Members of the exclusive court circle. Needless to say, it is no secret in Vienna, It is so much a matter of course that it has . Ceased to excite notice. But if the Em- .Peror should insist on transforming Mme. Schratt into a morganatic wife it would Be @ very serious affair indeed. Among the monarchs of Europe there is not one who leads nearly so solitary a life as Francis Joseph.

She saw her chance and made use of it. “ She had then begun to take a great de- light in distant travel, and met with much opposition from the Emperor. He did not like her to stay away too long, and she had scruples in leaving him alone. Be- sides, she was afraid of spending too much money, because the Emperor spent none upon himself. Perhaps the thought had often crossed her mind that if only the Emperor showed some weakness she would be better off herself. That evening she said that she had rare- ly seen a more lovely face, that Mme. Schratt’s smile had quite conquered her, and before retiring to rest she had a long talk with Baron Hoffmann, to whose pres- ence Mme. was summoned next day. Without more ado she was appointed ac‘ress of*the Burg Theater, and in- vited to take tea with the Empress twice a week while the court remained at Ischl. When she returned to Vienna in the au- } sh was one of the‘ fiest to beg an e of the Mbmperor to thank him for ‘appocntment to the court theater. - That nce was the departure for &@ new life. The Pmperer was standing at his little table near the window, as usual. She ad- vanced smiling, but terribly embarrassed, cpened her mouth, shut it again, and with laughing eyes broke down and cried. “Now I have forgotten all I was taught the very first word—how can ie scnratt court tc say, to anyone be so stupid?” and then she cried a little. The Emperor took her hand and said: come, don’t make yourself un- r so small a thing. I have given under similar circumstances be- fore. Perhaps I can help you remember what you ought to have said.” + A uttttle % —s Y_BPANAS HE IS TO DAY - = = He made her sit down, and sat opposite and began the little speech he had heard from grateful actresses many times be- fore in his long reign. “Oh, dear na” protested Katti Schratt, “it was much nicer than that. I got a poet to Write it and learned it by heart, and now I don’t know one word of it. I feel very anxious and unhappy.”’ The Emperor said he was sorry not to be able to help her until she remembered, but there were so many others waiting their turn ta come ‘n, would she like him to go and see her at her home in the evening, when they would have more time to wipe out the first disappointment? Out of this meeting a long faithful friend- ship has sprung, for though Katt! Schratt was married to a Hungarian nobleman named Kiss, she had beem separated some years, and an only son was no hindranc: The Empress is reported, strangly enough, to have done all in her power to encourage the love which the pretty actress had awak- ened in the Emperor’s heart. She invited her often and would send word to the Em- peror that Frau Schratt was with her— would he come and take tea with them? Katti Schratt took a little house at He- zing, close to the park of Schonbrunn, one of whose closed gates the Emperor opens with a latch key early in the morning when he goes to breakfast with his friend. Her life ig not all ease. To please the Emperor she has to be an early riser though she through her. But she has much tact and hates it: and sometimes she has to be punc- tual. The Emperor waits dinner for her half an hour, without grumbling, but when she is an hour late he knits his brow. Of course her house is much sought after, and people try to obtain imperial favors rarely apprgaches the Emperor in any one’s behalf. But she is the most charitable person in the world, and she .makes inqul- ries of the incomes of all her friends. The people, especially women, who address her in need- never meet with a refusal. Count Wilczek has quite a list of persons to whom he has to pay monthly pensions to please Frau Schratt. The director of the Landerbank Palmer has been induced by her to spend many thousands in charities. Oniy a week ago gehe was walking in the park of Schonbrunn with the Emperor when a decent woman in mourning was sitting on a bench tn the wood, and trying to conceal the tears that flowed down her cheeks, when the couple approached. Katt! Schratt, moved to sudden pity, sat down by her while the Emperor walked on, and she soon wormed the poor creature’s pitiable story out of her. She promised to help her—gave her ad- dress aud told the woman to come that same evening. Then when she rejoined the emperor and put her hand in her pocket she found some silver money, four floring in all, and she ran back and gave them to the woman—‘‘just for the moment,” she said. The Emperor asked her what she had gone back for, and she told him. “Of course you are always in debt if you give four florins to every beggar you meet,’’ was the grumbling rejoinder. There is no denying the fact, Mme. Schratt is no good financier, and she is o a always in debt. In the Empress’ time, if she made the slightest allusion to her em. barrassments, she would fine a nice check in her napkin the next time she came to dinner or tea. The Dmpress knew how money flows away, and liked Katt! Schratt to be with- out worries, that she might prove attrac. tive to their lord and master, and the Emperor was the last to”“suppose that much of the money that was put down to the Bmpress found fts way into his friend’s little squandering hands. When the crown prince died in 1889, and when the Bmpress found her tragic death nearly two years ago, Katti Schratt went into the deepest mourning, like any other member of the family, and accepted con- dolences while she wept to her heart’s con- tent. Strange to say, the belief was generally held that she was the Bmperor’s daughter by a beautiful woman whom he dearly loved when garrisoned in Baden as quite a young man. Frau Schratt’s progress in the Emperor's favor has continued without interruption to this day. About six months after the death of the Empress she was admitted to the private gardens in the park of the Schon- brunn that had been reserved for the Em- press, and a little later the private stair- case from these gardens to the Emperor's epartments in the castle became her prop- erty. Since the Emperor’s younger daughter, Archduchess Marie Valerie, has decided to spend many months of the year in Schon- brunn wtih her husband and five children, Mme, Schratt’s vieits to the Emperor are paid in the Burg Palaee. But he still holds fast to the habit of breakfasting with her at her own house. Strenuous efforts are made by Arch- duchess Marie Valerie to prevail upon her father to break off his relations with Mme. Schratt. Ghe has been convinced by the powers that once again reign supreme in Austria that there is a curse on the house of Hapsburg and she considers it her mis- sion to put an end to this state of affairs. Still ehe is far from happy and she often complains of her hard fate to her intimate friends. In the autumn she went to Lourdes on a pilgrimage, and sent home post-cards from there expressing the hope that the Virgin would fulfill her dearest wish. That wish she confessed was to get an unexpected million from eomewhere or other, to pay her debts and to Duy a country seat or a tiny castle, but she has never dared to ask so much of the Mmperor. Yet peonle m Vienna, soon after the Em- press’ death, expressed the opinion that the Emperor would be sure to contract a morganatic marriage when the time of mourning was over, and now that rumor is revived tn a more positive form. Mme. Schratt is not doing anything to make him take such a resolution, but Arch- duchess Marie Valerie is in continual fear that her father, when too old to walk long distances to visit his friend, wlll Dring her to his side. Perhaps his ready consent to the widowed Crown Princess’ marriage with Count Lon- yay is only the shadow that coming events cast before. ri Ce STORIES ABOUT RO Ok She ae ee Pe Xe Oe The Sums Paid Them Are Extravagant, and Wealthy Persons Seek Their Favor by the Bestowal of Wonderful Gifts.

Contrast this with the list of salaries paid by foreign nations: England—Queen, $1,925,000; cabinet officers, 5,000; ambassadors to ghe United States, judges, lord high chancellor, $50 000; lord chief justice, $40,000.

The compensation of tie members of the French, German and Russian cabinets is not uniform, as in the United States and England. The imperial chancellors and ministers of foreign affairs of Germany and Russia receive much greater compen- sation than their assoclates. The system of jurisprudence of France, Germany and Russia differs widely from that of England and the United States. In many instances judges receive some portion of the fees of their respective courts and in many cases allowances for expences. Their total compensation is said to exceed that of the judges of the United Staies courts. It ig etated that ft ambassadors or ministers plenipotentiary of the first class more than double the sal- ary they receive to pay the necessary of- King, ; + sal Iii, actually costs our YAL PERSONAGES which they are accredited. In fact, it is known that one af 6ur recent ambassadors to Russia could not obtain, by paying his entire salary, a suitable residence in St. Fetersburg. The principal nations of Europe not only pay thelr cabinet officers, am- bassadors and ministers much larger sal- aries than those paid by the United States, but they also provide them with official residences, and maintain them, besides making an allowance for the customary official entertainments. Our cabinet offi- cers, ambassadors and ministers are ex- pected to live iff as fine residences and en- tertain as liberally as their foreign asso- ciates, and as a rule they do so, paying the necessary oxpenses thereof from their pri- vate funds. The investigation of the payroll of the United States brings out some curious anomalies. At least one of the suborui- nates of the secretary of the treasury now receives a salary of $12,000, while the secre- tary only receives $8000. One of the assis- tant treasurers of the United States re- ceives $8000, while the treasurer of the United States receives only $000. Yet the treasurer is responsible for all, and is also the custodian of more than $800,000,000 in money and bonds deposited with him by the national banks of the republic to secure their circulation, and government depcsits; and his salary of $6000 is less than half of the salary now paid by single national banks to their presidents.

The amiable inteations of these would-be benefactors cf royalty—or the feline tribe—have been frystrated by Queen Victoria’s aversion for cats and de- termination not to have them rear her. She hutes them as energeticaily as does Lord Roberts. In some cases an annuity was provided for the maintenance of the legacy, so that the Queen might be at no expense for cream and meat; but that has not changed her majesty’s mind on the subject. Dogs, top, she might have-had in scores, were it not that her affections are already centered on those she has obtained by other means. Nevertheless, she has frequetnly accepted these legacies and afterward be- stowed them on members of her household. On one occasion a racehorse for which £1000 has been’ refused in its younger days, was bequeathed to her. The animal was sold for charity. «ats and devs also figure prominently in bequests to the Prince and Princess. of Wales. Several dogs on the Sandringham estate have been the final bequests of their don- ors, and the princess has caused them to be carefully looked after. Among other things, she once received a pair of cage birds of an almost extinct variety, left her by an old gentleman who had brought them home from abroad, and they were valued by experts at $3000. Among the many bequests which have fallen to the lot of the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria is a hotel at Brunn, left him by the proprietor several years ago. It was a valuable: property. The Ismperor accepted the bequest, although he did not employ it for his own benefit, but sold ft for an enormous sum, which he gave to a child’s hospital, On the Continent, as In England, animals ere often left by will to monarchs; but Queen Victoria’s cats and dogs fade into insignificance beside the three elephants of the }/ompervur Wiliam and the great white bear of the Czar, The elephants were bequeathed to the Kaiser by a menagerie proprietor.

It is not generally known that the German “mperor draws an income from a line of steamships besides that derived from his regal positicn. The origin of this is rather curictus. The late Kaiser Wilhelm I., while crown prince, went out of way to do a good turn for a man who eventually became a celeb- rity in the shipping world, being chief part- ner ina line cf vessels plying between Ham- burg and the French and British coasts. A few years before the death of the Bm- peror the man in question died and left the whale of his property, consisting of his share in the business, to his old bene- factor, then the Kaiser.

Year after year within her beautiful <astle in the ‘Carpathian Mountains the poet queen has devoted her- self to writing for the benefit of her Rou- manian child subjects, and with each year the bond of sympathy between the royal “# PERQUI an aie tae a ° SITES w family and the people has grown stronger. In 1882 the Roumanian (Minister of Public Instruction asked Her Majesty if she would deign to write a book that could be used as a premium to be given to the best schol- ars at the close of the year’s work. To this request the Queen gladly consented, and the result was a charming compilation of the stories and legends of the Carpathians, with illustrations by ther own hand. Several years ago Her Majesty began to give talks on subjects of current Interest to the daugh- ters of the Roumanian aristocracy. ‘These lectures, given in her palace, soun became so popular and the requests to attend them s0 insistent that the Queen now lectures in the public high school for girls, and has cbtained the official diploma, which is eigned by the King and the Minister af Pub- lic Instruction. One of the pictures at a recent Paris salon was entitled “The Legend of Queen Elizabeth of Roumania, Relating Her Owa Stories to Her Country Children.”’ But Queen Piizabeth is quite as deft with her fingers as she is clever with her brain.

In the Albina sewing and embroidery are given out to a thousand poor women, and in the Asyle Helene, an orphan home, plain and artistic needlework is taught to over five hundred girls. ° Among the apborisms given by the Queen in her charming “Pensees d'une Reine” are the following, which show how highly the Wr.ter esteer.s the domestic virtues: “Do not tfust aman who does not belleve in the poseibiiities of home happiness.” “A wife needs a great amount of virtue for she must often have sufficient to serve both berseif and her spouse.” “Man and wife should never cease to do a ifttie courting, no matter how old they may have grown.” . “True happiness ts found itn doing our Cuty every day of our lives.”’ “Women in politics are like hens trying to cTrow.”’ ——— ae a A te WORKMAN at New Glarus, Wis., while digging for the foundation of an icehouse found recently what he supposed to be a rusty nickel. Upon ex- amining it more closely he found it was an old coin. He sold it to C. A. Iffert, a teach- er, for ten cents. Now experts have pro- nounced the coin a Roman denarius, coined about 100 B. C. It is made of a bronze composition, wasMed with sliver, andis about the size of a nickel. On the obverse side is a head in bold relief facing the left and a monogram. On the re- verse are two human figures in the act of walking, facing the right, each carrying a lance in his left hand, while the right is resting on some object behind. Above their heads is a representation of an anvil and a pair of tongs. This plece of money, current a century before the time of Christ, was doubtless carried there by an early French trader. In bartering trinkets for the rich furs of the Indians, he lost his teasured coin, and for 30 years it has lain undisturbed.

This is not the first expedition Mr. Jessup has fitted out. In 1887 he spent a bagatelle of $8,000 for an investigation of Indian an- tiquities. It was the result of this expedi- tion-that gave Mr. Jessup his idea tha) It is a startling coneldsion, but then Mr. Jessup is a playwright as well as a bank president. If his scheme pans out he may be in a position to present to the world not only an intensely interesting scientific conclus:on, but a melodrama that will dim the bril- liancy of ‘“‘Northern Lights’? and plays of that ilk. The movements of Mr. Jessup’s explorers will be followed closely by scientists and bibical students all over the world. Whatever conrlusions may be reached will have a basis the findings of Dr. Boaz, the leader of. the Jessup expedition of 1837. Dr. Boaz investigated the history ethnology of the tribes, past and present, on the coast of the north Pacific Ocean, be- ginning at the Amoor River in Asia and ex- tending northward to Bering Sea, then southeastward along the American coast as far as the Columbia River. Asa result of his researches he concluded that certain characteristics of the natives of the Ameri- ¢an continent are found among all the tribes which he observed, even the prehistoric tribes. Among these characteristics he names smooth hair, broad, heavy feet and large noses. — . as and From these premises Bogaras, Jochelson and Buxton expect to shaw that the present idea that the American race descended from the Asiatic is incorrect and that the cradle of the human race was on American soil. The three explorers have left San Fran- cisco on the steamer Doric bound for Hong Kong by way of Honalulu. “heir destina- tion will be Northwestern Siber‘a; whence they will start on their tour of the Arctic regions. The Russians will study the native lan- guage, songs, customs and characterist:cs of every tribe which inhabits Northeastern Siberia. Thousands of miles of this region are un- known even to the scientific world. Explor- ers have never penetrated its frozen waste, Mr. Buxton will confine his work mainly to the zoological field. He will make a col- lection of birds and mammals of the region for the museum and will also excavate for bones of the enormous animals wh.ch once inbabitated The start will this region. be -made from Vladivo- stock in August.

Cape, on Bering Sea. Norman Buxton will part from his comrades in Viadivostock. He will travel northward and in the fall of 1991, in the East Cape region, he expects to meet Jochelson. There they will await the coming of the whaling fleet. If they fail in this plan Jochelson and Buxton have agreed to stay in the East Cape regions for another year. Bogaras and Jochelson are inured to Sl- berian harddhips. They were political ex- {les in Eastern Siberia for ten years for having advocated political changes and freedom of the press. They finally earned their liberty, while their researches won the praise of the Russian government. Mr. Buxton wom the right to be a member of the expedition by his work with the Smithsonian expedition to Point Barrow in 1897 and 1898. The explorers will have provisions for two years. ‘Tach will have two Cossacks as traveling companions. The journey will be made mostly on foot and by dog sledges. The Russian government has placed every facility at the command of the explorers. Passports have been provided and officials have been notified to give the scientists aid. The Russian gunboats which patrol the coast of Siberia will be placed at their dis- posal, Im 1903 or 1904 Bogaras, Jochelson and Bux- ton will meet in New York City. Here they will discuss their discoveries, arrange ther specimens and compile accounts of the scientific work accomplished. And then the world may learn on the au- thority of scientists whether or not the Garden of Eden was in the Klondike. Nearly every portion of the globe with the exception of that portion of North America owned by the United States has been at one time or another reputed to have been the site of the Garden of Eden. Even Mexica has claimed the distinction of having in- cluded Adam's paradise within its borders. Despite all the theories and traditions the question as to just where Adam and Eve spent the happy days before they ate the apple has never been solved. The latest effort to solve the mystery was made by Ignatius Donnelly. He would pull the Shakespeare icon from its pedestal. Donnelly’s theory is that the Garden of Eden was situated on the Island of Atlantis, Seeing that nobody knew where the Island of Atlantis was it devolved on Donnelly to find out. | After a long research he concluded that a reasonable supposition would be that At- lantis, the beautiful island famed in Gre- cian song and story, must have been where the Atlantic Ocean now is.

The Season of strikes is now at hand and approaches its ‘height. May and June are the Months in which they flourish. Most of the: great strikes of recent years have begun in one of these two months. The Pullman strike etarted on May ll; the Chi- cago rallway strike of 1894 and the great Homestead outbreak commenced in June; the strike of the Pennsylvania. coal and coke m-nets in 184 began late in April and lasted several months. It has been seldom. indeed, that a labor disturbance of great proportions has been inaugurated in the autumn or winter. The strike movement may be expected to reat in strefigth until next month, and hen gradually to wane as midsumer ap- Seasons, time for Like Subl- strikes have ‘es as certain who have social is ‘4 wy ~~ Sociologists and studénts of economics have found a number of reasons to account for the occurrance of strikes at this period of the year. One of the simplest and yet one of the most potent of these is the fact that striking workmen find it easier to support themselves during the warm months than it is in cold weather. A man will think twice before abandoning even an unsatisfactory pos.tion when the likelihood of being tom- pelled to face both hunger and cald is be- fore him. In summer, on the other hand, he may sleep out of doors if necessary; he requires less food, and that food is more easily o@@mined. A man’s devotion ta prin- ciple bears a close and necessary relation to the condition of his stomach. Another reason for an extraordinary amount of agitation in the warld of labor during the months of May and June is the fact that the opening of summer is marked by great activity in certain industries, such as the building trad: in which strikes are When trade activ- and business is rushing a strike has the best chance of success—a fact Whireh leaders fully appreciate.

But strikes have been of common ‘ur- rence in this country only during the last Pas Taking their history during that that they atta.n their intervals of about four years, strongly marked maxima every two years. So regularly has been this move- ment that it is possibly to plot its and to predict from former experience what is likely to be the course of labor disturb- ances during the present year. Of railroad strikes the earliest to assume wide proportions occurred in 1877, when the employes on nearly all the roads of the Middie and Eastern states went out on a strike, which lasted for several months, Was attended by widespread destruction and losa of earnings, and finally failed. Whiie there are no accurate statisties of the num- ber of men involved or of the amount that the strike cost the country, the lass may be estimated from the fact that it cost the Pennsylvania Railroad alone $5,000,000 In earnings. The “total loss to all the roads involved must have been $50,000,000, and that of the men in wages could not have fallen short of half that amouwnt. After this castly experience there were few labor disturbances until 1881, which wag marked by many strikes. Then the move- ment fell off again wntil 1886, which was the year of the greatest number of strikes to take place up to that time.

One of the oldest traditions about the lo- cation of Eden is the one handed down by the fathers of the Catholie Chureh from the beginning of the Christian era. It Is po- etic if not convincing. No less an authority than St. Thomas Aquinas indorsed it and since his time it has been handed down by Father A. Torniel, Rev. Giovanni Zuallardo and the Abbe Beurbais. The last mentioned has expounded jit in a book en- titled “The Second Chapter of Genesis, and the Karthly Paradise.’’ Father Torniel i corporated it in his “Sacred Annals.”’ Th theory is that the Garden of Eden was sit- uated in what is now known as the Dama- scene field near Damascus in Svria. This field is believed to have furnished the clay from which the marvelous products of the Egyptian potteries were made. The | Signor ne iS JAN; FES API | May: UNE.

More than 600,000 men were thrown out of em- ployment, and the loss of wages to these men aggregated at least $30,000,000. Again, in 1890, the number of strikes was remarkably large, the total, 1833, being high- er than in any previous year, although the number of men affected was less than in 1886 by more than 100,000. The number feil off in 1891, but in the following year the Situation was aggravated by the great Homestead contest, which alane cost a number of lives and millions of dollars, fe- quired the services of several thousand troops, involved the State of Pennsylvania in an expense of more than half a miilion and had an important effect upan the presi- dential election that year. In 1894 more men went on strike in country than ever before, although the num- ber of str’'kes was less than for several years previous. In that year ocourred Pullman and Chicago railway strikes, struggle of the New England mill workers for increased wages and the comtest belween the Pennsylvania coal workers and the mine owners. In the expense:-of providing pro- tection for and in of wages and trade earnings 1894 was a costly yeal for American industries. The striking em- ployes alone last $32,000,000 in wages. In 1896 the experience of 1892 was repeates The number of disturbances to period the distributed of this the tne loss property cale. the extensives large and business but in this movement seems to have been between the two years 1896 and 1898, instead of eulminating in either. It was in the lat- ter year that the great strike of the cotton , at Fall River and New Bed- fard, Mass., occurred, well as a large number of atrikes on street railway lines in different parts of the country. Following the trend of this general move- ment, with its regular culminations, it saems reasonable to expect that 1900 will be a year of many strikes and a great amount af industrial disturbance. The of events during the year thus far fully sub- stantiates this view. At the present time strikes of serious pro- portions are in progness in six large cit.es and a large number of others are going on in smaller towns. It the testimony of the labor leaders also that there is a great amount of discantent among their men and that in many trades demands are contem- plated which, if not acceded. to, will result in st:l]l larger strikes. At the moment the most serious of these strikes is in St. Louis. In Chicago, which recently has been the chief center of the labap disturbances in the country, more than 30,000 men are idle by reason of the strikes and lackouts in the building trades which have been 'n progress for several weeks. as te oun erie ink ae * x 2 ~ ae , a Y , : ‘ Seen _ 7 td i os 2 7 i ; .

It was proposed that in all disputes that might arise in the future between the members of these organizations or between a member of one and the other every reasonable effort should be made by both to effect an adjustment, failing which either should have the privilege to ask the board of arbitration to step in and settle the difference.

HENEVER Americans fight one always sees distinctive acts of great heroism, but these heroic acts are so genera] that dt is difficult if not impossible to single out indi- vidual instances. If we attempt to include all the deserving the names are very numerous, and if we seek to avoid this we omit many who are quite as worthy as the few who are selected for arecial mention. The history of a campaign shows that while ind- widual heroic acts are marked and prominent, yet the most valuable service is that of officers and men exhibiting vim and courage and devotion to dut, side by side with their comrades, thus encouraging all to those umited efforts so essen- tial to success. This, which was very noticeable in Cuba, was if possible more marked in the cam- Paign in the Philippines. The Attack on Porac. Before the attack on and capture of Porac, Sept. 28, most extrava- gant stories had been circulated in regard to @he great natural strength of the enemy’s position, made etronger by most formidable and skillfully constructed defenses. Six hundred men of the Winth Infantry were ordered to attack the in- trenched position, extending to the right and left of the Santa Rita and Porac road. Before the @dvance commenced the enemy’s strong position was in full view, and every man realized that mith such advantages soldiers equal to Americans could slaughter a large percentage of an attack- ing force. And yet they advanced for 1200 yards Over an open plain, with the order and precision that is usual with troops when conducting milli- tary maneuvers in time of peace. Officers and men ran over the works together, driving the re- treating enemy into and through the town. The conduct of all was superb, but Col. Liscum and his battalion commanders, Capts. McCaleb and Anderson, being mounted, were most conspicuous. Tet with all this there was no act of any one man which could be spoken of distinctively as more worthy of commendation than many others. The same could also be Danger said regarding the sev- eral night attacks of the Laughed At. ,enemy upon our troops at Santa Rita and Angeles. ‘The enemy in large numbers, sometimes as many: @p 4000 rifles. would commence a sudden, simuitane- ous and most vigorous attack, the points of attack being numerous, and, so far as they could ar- range, being at places where they would be least expected, yet in every instance the soldierly qual- ities of our men were all that could be desired. Frequently In these attacks an outpost of 2 or 8) men would find themselves attacked in front and frequently in flank by a force 15 or 2 times thelr number, and yet without a single exception our men held their ground against these assaults. I saw what I.considered distinctive good con- duct on the part of a few men at Bamban. Here the enemy's fortifications were very strong’ and, as they boasted, impregnable, but the insurgents were soon driven out and commenced a disorderly retreat toward the north. The retreat was very rapid, but some 2 quick, active men of our troops broke after them in a run, outstripping their fel- lows, and pressed close upon the large body of retreating insurgents, presenting a picture of some G0 of our men actusitly engaged in driving two or three Filipino batteries. : v At all times the Amer- ican soldiers seemed to regard it a special privi- lege to be allowed to pef- form any specialiy dan- gerous work. I recollect it became necessary for some men to swim a large river with a swift current, where the railroad was washed away. three miles north of Tarlac. Rumors were rife of insurgent bands on the north bank, but some 2 mien sprang into the water, swam to the north ‘bank and worked’ with axes for hours during the night to perform the necessary and important Swimming Under Fire. Again, when our troops approached Camiling the main body was delayed by a deep river, but seeing the enemy retreating, my aids, Lieut. Frank C. Bolles and Mr. C. B. Gould, hastened forward, accompanied by two or three men, and attempted the capture of some of the flying enemy.Incidents like this were of almost constant occurrence, and it was these acts of gallantry which so impressed the insurgents as to render it impossible for their officers to make them stand for a moment when attacked by our troops. There Were many acts Individual of individual bravery which d#d not come un- Heroism. der my persona) obser- vation. They illustrate well the grit and endurance of the American sol- dier. One specially noticeable was the ewimming of the Bagbag River by Privates Ddward White and W. P. Trembly of Col. Funston’s command on Aprf 27, 1899. These brave soldiers ‘swam the Bagbag River under fire, landed within 2 feet of an insurgent earthwork, and tied a rope, which they had carried with them, to one of the up- rights of the trench, by means of which rope Col. Funston and others were enabled to cross the river on a raft. The first land battle of the Spanish-American; war was at Las Guasimas, June M4, 1898. Nine - hundred men, consisting of detachments of the First and Tenth Cavalry and the Rough Riders had been landed the preceding day at Daiquiri. On the evening of the 2d, having been ordereq to the front, they marched nine miles, bivouacked in a violent tropical] storm, and by 7 the next morning had advanced three miles further and were confronting a considerhble Spanish force commanded by Lieutenant-General Linares. Very few of the 900 soldiers had ever. been under fire, yet nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which they attacked. Sixteen of their numben were killed and 52 wound- ed, yet in no instance did I s4e a soldier halt or falter for a single mo- ment.. It would be very difficult to pick out any dozen or 2 men as more worthy of com- mendation than any others. It was a” splendid body of troopers, and all were proud that it was thelr privilege to strike the first blow of the American army upon a foreign shore. They were all imbued with the highest spirit of chivalry. They knew the enemy to be strong and apparent- ly well intrenched. They certainly expected a warm resistance, but their advance was as firm and steady as that of the best and oldest vet- erans. Maj. James M. Bell, Capt. Thomas C. Knox and Lieut. George L. Byram were all severely wounded early in the action. The spirit which they evinced as they fell to the ground was a good index of that which imbued the entire com- mand. Maj. Bell's leg was broken, and as he sank to the ground he said, “I regret I can’t go on fur- ther with you,’’ while Capt. Knox, who was shot through the body, continued as long as possible to exercise command, and Lieut. Byram, though severely wounded, remained in line with the sol- diers until he fainted from exhaustion. There were many similar instances equally commenda- ble, but they did not happen to fall under my immediate observation. Bravery at Las Guasimas. The battle of San Juan was also the occasion of many acts of most exalted bravery on the part of offisors and men, but so universal and widespread was the nobie spirit of emulation that few opportunities pre- sented themselves for exhibiting special acts of individual heroism, When the head of Gen. Shafter’s army ap- proached San Juan their march for a mile and a quarter, from El] Poso to San Juan River, was by a road commanded by the Spanish artillery and small arms, which enabled the enemy to con- centrate upon our troops an exasperating fire, to which we were unable to reply. This was one of the most trying positions in which soldiers could be placed.

It was during this march and while crossing the river and forming in line that the great bulk of casualties occurred. They constantly saw Where Death their comrades stricken Reigned. down, either killed or wounded, by missiles which came from an un- seen foe, and yet these untried American soldiers braved the ordeal in a manner which would have done credit to the heroes of a hundred battles. Again, when wet, worn and weary they reached San Juan Ridge, from which the Spanish had precipitately fied, they were met by a scathing fire from the enemy’s second line, which wag formed between San Juan and Santiago. Yet, nothing daunted, these brave men, without shrink- ing a moment from the fire, dug trenches and erected breastworks, which by morning were 80 strong and well arranged as to make their posi- tion impregnable. The reader will readily appreciate the difficulty of selecting a few out of this number of brave and determined men, but without fear of bdeing charged with partiality I can speak of two officers who fell at San Juan—¥irst Lieutenants William E. Shipp and William H. Smith of the Tentn Cavalry. A Hero From Missouri. All the officers of the regiment were istin- guished in this action, but there is something romantically touching about these two. They entered West Point to- gether, one from North Carolina and the other from Missouril. They were classmates and became fast and devoted friends. They occupled the same room during their entire course, graduated together, acted together and seemed inseparable. Each of them returned home and was married to a lady he had known from ahildhood. Each left a devoted wife and three children at home when with buoyant heart he accompanied the regiment to Santiago. They were idolized by their soctdiers, and I feel confident that when the Spanish war commenced no two officers in *26 army were better equipped to perform valuable duty than these. Their superb qualities as ac complished officers were acknowledged by all. When the struggle How Shipp and opened on July 1 none in that brave army ad- Smith Fell. vanced to battle with more ohivalroug' spirit than these two devoted friends. The advance commenced, the Tenth Cavalry moved forward, the brave officers vieing with each other to do more than their duty. The first position of the enemy on Kettle Hill was car- ried, and without a halt the Americans bravely charged the {ntrenchments at San Juan. Precisely one-half of the officers of the Tenth Cavalry sank to the ground beneath the deadly fire which they encountered, and among them fell these heroes, IAuts. Shipp and Smith. But a few minutes Iin- tervened between their deaths and but a few yards separated them when they fell. Each was instantly killed and neither could have known of the other’s death. That night their bodies were carried to the rear and placed side by side by their soldiers, who bore for them @ lové which none but soldiers feel. They were together in life, and here they were together in death. The papers throughout the country published long lists of the killed at San Juan, and finally a long list of all those killed in Ouba.,. Both lists were alphabetically arranged, and this made these two names appear in consecutive order. The end of the year came, and the list of the killed was published in the annual register of the army. Here the names were arranged according to the date of their commission, and here again the names of these two men, who were always together in life, were side by side in the final 1ec- ord of the government they had so well served.

Of little doubt minds of the majority that Jones was guilty, but there was a fairly strong following who insisted that Jones was a coarse and brutal man, and per- haps weak in his head—yes—but not a murderer.

I myself had a number course, there was very in the of s.uterviews with the children, and I was amazed - at the convincing power of their little story. §hin- @ing In the depths of the Iimpid, upturned eyes one couki fairly see tiny mirrowed images of men with reg hair, big white teeth and white hands. Now, I'll tell you how it happened—how I imag- ined it was done. Some time after burying his wife in the woods Jones stro:led back to the house, Seeing nobody, he called out in the familiar fash- LIPIVAT ERS _: BATE AND TRENBLY SVWIAT THE FIACBAS FIVER LWNDER F.

The children looked at him blankly. “Why, pa,” said Freddy, ‘“‘you came in here and hit ma with an ax and then ““Me?’’ house since sent us to bed.,’’ ‘TIT haven't been near the breakfast time.’’ you cried Jones. The children did not know how to reply. Their meager informed them that their father the man with the ax, but he denied to their minds everything was a mere great puzzie with no meaning whatever, save little senses had it, and been that it was mysteriously sad and made them cry. “What kind it?’’ said Jones. Freddy looked a good deal like you, pa.’’ “Like said he had red hair.’’ “No, I didn’t,” had gray hair like yours.’ ‘“Well,”’ said Jones, “I saw a man with kind of of a looking man was hesitated. ‘‘Now—he ’? me?’ said Jones. “Why, I thought you replied Freddy. “I thought he red hair going along the road up yonder, and I thought maybe that might have been him.” Little Lucy, the second child, here piped up with: intense conviction. “His hair was a little teenty bit red. I saw it.”’ “No,” said Jones, ‘“The man I saw had very red hair. And what did his teeth look like? Were they big and white?" ‘“Yes,"’ answered Lucy, “they were.” Pven Freddy seemed to‘incline to think It. teeth may have been big and white.” Jones said little more at that time. Later he intimated to the children that their mother had gone off on a visit and although they were full of wonder and sometimes wept because of the op- pression of ah incomprehensi®.e feeling in the air, they said nothing. Jones did his chores and house- work. Everything was smooth. The morning after the day of the murder Jones “His and his children had a. breakfast of hominy and milk. ‘‘Well, this man with red hatr and big white teeth, Lucy?” said Jones. “Did you notice any- thing else about him?” Lucy straightened in her chair and showed the childish desire to come out with brilliant in- formation which would gain her father’s approval, “He had white hands—hands all white.” “How about you; Freddie?” “I didn’t look at them much, but I think they were white,”’ answered the boy. “And what did little Martha notice?” cried the tender parent. “Did she see the big, bad man?’ (Martha, aged 4, replied solemniy: ‘‘His hair was all red and his hands was white—all wh’'te.” “That's the man I saw up the road,’ said Jones to Freddy. “Yes, sir, it seems like it must have been him,” said the boy, his brain now in complete confu- sion. Again Jones allowed the subject of his wife's murder to lapse. The children did not know that it was a murder, of course. Adults were always performing in a way to make children’s heads swim. For instance, what could be more incom- prehensible than that a man with two horses dragging a queer thing, should walk all day, mak- ing the grass turn down and the earth turn up? And why did they cut the long grass and put it in the barn? And whac was a cow for? Did the water in the well like to be there? Ail these things were grand because they were associated with the high state of grown-up people, but (hey were deeply mysterious If, then, a man with red hair, big white teeth and white hands should hit their mgther on the nape of the neck with an ax, it was merely a phenomenon of grown-up life. ‘ Little enry, the baby, when he had a want, howled and pounded the table with his spoon.

I am a great believer in public opinion, and I think that if we can get a fair expression from the ma- jority a decision can be arrived at that will be practically unanimous. The Morristown Green can be made one of the most beautiful parke in the state; considerable work can be done to improve its walks, as some are missing, and the curbing -neede replacing. Many of our streets need attention. I have for a long time studied streets, and recently visited’ Detroit and Rochester, both noted for well cared for highways. Why should not the streets where the me chanic and laboring man live in a modest way have jurt as careful attention as the avenues where property has a bigher value? The curb- ing should be kept up and, as fas as possible, Macadam foade furnished. Strancera com- ing to town with the intention of leasing or buying property realize that ‘‘a city takes its character not from ite best streets, but from ite poorest.’’ It will be my earnest endeavor to secure the comdial co-operation of every member of the Board of Aldermen, with whom I have been acquainted for a number of years.

Where else on American sail may be found a milMonaire with a queue, who thinks nething at all of owning whole towns; who employs bundreds of white men and women in his factories and canneries; who pays taxes on ranches, city real estate, gold mines and diamonds; who runs lottery games; upsets a city charter when he wants to; imports contract laborers by hundreds from China; is a power in a highbinder tong; conducts a real estate business in Hong Kong and several mer- chandise stores in San Francisco, and is @ genuine Monte Criste in his husiness methods? Chin Tan Sun does all these things, and more. He is a self-made man. He is wider awake when he is asleep than many of the persons with whom he comes in contact during business hours. These are some of my teasvons for say- ing that he is the most interesting Man who ever made millions in the West. Some thirty years ago, a long-legged lad from the Orient came across the seas to this coast in the steerage of a steamer. He had first opened his almond eyes in the province of Sun Ning, 4 farming district. Farmers in China do not live on the land they cultivate. Space is too precious. They bunch their families into compact little houses, separated by alleys, and go daily furth to their tiling of soil In California, where ranches sometknes cover thousands of acres, a farmer turns a colt to pasture in a ten-acre lot. In China a man who owns ten acres is considered wealthy. The boy farmer had heard fabulous tales of the new world. They lured him from the raising of vegetables. He left his ancestral home and traveled to Ogden, Utah. There he went to work in somebody's kitchen as a cook. 3ut Chin Tan Sun amid his new surround- ings thought of other things than bread- making and stovepolishing and dishwashing. He dreamed of wealth and power, though none would have guessed that he was other than an excellent household machine, con- tent to go no further afield than the slip- slip sandaled feet on a kitchen floor would carry him, until he could save enough from his wages to insure the sending of his bones back to China should he died in the land of the white devils. A girl of Scandinavian parentage, good looking and industrious, was employed as damestic in a neighboring family. Chin Tan Sun courted and married her. They came to an Francisco and commenced housekeeping on Jackson street in Chinatown with tne dollars that had been earned in the Ogden kitehen. Now, every Chinaman is @ natural born gambler.

S Montauk Point to become to New York what Southampton is to London--a port of entry for transatlantic travel? The inquiry becomes pertinent in view of the re- cent acquisition of the Long Island Rall- road by the Pennsylvania company and the project for a railway tunnel connecting Manhattan and the Jersey shore with Brooklyn. While it is denied by the rall- Way and steamship officials that any such under immediate contemplation, some of them express the apinion that the plan will be carried out before many years pasa. The chief advantage in landing passen- gers from Europe at Montauk rather than at the piers in New York would be the saving in time. Time is the principal factor in the competition fer ocean travel at present, and milifons of dallars are spent in mak.ng each new Atlantic liner of greater engine power and higher speed than her competitors. If it is worth $4,000,000 to $%,000,000 to a steam- ship company to possess a vessel capable of reducing the time between New York and London by three or four hours there is no doubt that it would be worth much more to reduce the time from port to port by act- ually shortening the course to be traversed, This is what makes the Montauk project exceedingly interesting to the men who are concerned in maritime affairs. Those who are familiar with the great ocean highway that leads from this city to European ports will real-ze at once that the removal of the western terminus from New York ta the extreme eastern end of Long Isiand would mean a considerable saving of time. The long, tortuous channel from the Sandy Hook Lightship to the North River piers would be entirely avoided, and it would be possible far steamers to run di- rectly alongside the landing stage at the end of the trip without any of. the delays and annoyances to which the trip up the bay frequently gives rise. Although this part of the voyage !s not taken Into account in reckoning the time of a transatiantio trip it usually means the addition of several! hours to the actual length of the voyage, and in stormy or foggy weather may cause a delay of nearly a day in the time of dis- embarking. The distance from Montauk to New,” yy rail is 117 miies. The time requi step is Ri eer S sie Sas eae Sy | make the trip “> present trains o3 * ts 7 ee ot ie ae MONTAUK POINT Long Island Railroad |s from three and one- half hoars to four hours, but with some im- provements in the equipment of the road special trains could make the distance in two hours. A steamer train could make the run from Montauk to the city is about the time ordinarily consumed by a liner in reaching her berth from Sandy Hook. The distance by water from Montauk Point to the Sandy Hook lightship is 143 knots, which is a run of about seven hours for the big Iiners. It ig safe to say, therefore, that the removal of the landing place from New York to Montauk would effect a saving of from six to eight hours in the actual time of a European voyage. It goes without saying that the plan pro- viding such an economy has not remained undiscovered down to the present time. The identkeal scheme now under discussion formed a part of the gigantic plan of the late Austin Corbin for the transformation of Long Island. Had Corbin lived the énter- prise might have been put into active opera- tion by the present time, but his death sus- pended work on this and many other pro- jects which he had under way. Since that time the Long Island Railroad has been too weak in funds to push the scheme, and it is only with the passing of the road into passession of the railway which Is financial- ly the strongest In the country that interest in the suggestion for making Montauk a great passenger port has revived. The plans of the Long Island financier contemplated far more than merely making Montauk Bay a land'ng place for ocean pas- sengers. Before a single liner began ta fly the American flag Corbin projected a line of American sh'ps to run from Montauk to Mil- ford Haven, the of Wales. His Intention was, ™ case this plan was realized. to urge upon Congress the desirability of mak-ng Montauk a port of free entry, where foreign goods could be stored in bond for reshipment without the payment of cus- toms duty. The adoption of this recommen. dation, as he expected, would have had the effect of making the eastern port of Long Isiand a great distributing point, from which goods would be sent to all American ports reached by the coastwise trade. Whether this ambitious scheme could have been realized to the full, even with Corb‘n’s genius and enterprise behind tt, is doubtful, but if it could have been carried owt it is easy to see that it would have meant the building of an important commercial city on the sands about Montauk Bay, on coast ing of a fortune, conceived a clever idea— an idea which, imitated since then by white- skinned speculators, has made them r-ch. This idea was the originating of the ‘‘little lottery’’ seheme. There were at this time fifteen Chinese lotteries running at what is colloquially termed ‘“‘full blast’’ in Chinatown. Each conducted two drawings da‘ly—thirty win- nings per day. Chin put his clever idea into immediate practice and brilliant success fol- lowed. He opened what he called the Ameri- can Lottery Co., selling tickets with num- bers duplicating thase of the fifteen gamb- He sought American patron- to play the with instant and in a ling comcerns. age and white people began Chinese lottery.

It was better than wearing out sandals in a torrid Ogden kitchen. A Chinaman rarely banks his money. He invests it instead in countless ways, and what he does not invest he secrets under- ground. Chin Tan Sun develaped marvelops bust- ness sagacity. He bought a small interest in numerous stores. He learned to speak English fluently. His dealings were in- variably on a cash basis, no matter how large the sum involved. He opened up a dozen gambling houses in Odkland, whose show windows displayed fans and punk Sticks and bazar articles in general as a “blind” to conceal the unlawful operations in the locked rooms back of them. He kept the police busy raiding his gambling joints, and himself busy lugging coin into court with which to depos!ft cash ba‘! for his employes who had been gathered in by the blue-caated arm of the law. Fines he paid with sto‘cal indifference. One day an Oakland judge imposed a fine of ten times the usual amount in his de- termination to teach Chin a lesson. Then Chin showed fight. Through his attorney he had the municipal records searched, and the result turned Oakland upside down, for, to relate briefly, it was discovered that the charter was invalid; that the court in which Chin’s agent had been convicted was not even a de facto court; nor would Chin con- sent to have his man set free, though the superior court itself, sitting en banc on the Case—an event fhat had never occurred there before—wa d to dismiss the troubie- some matter. And so Oakland had to pro- vide itseif with a brand new charter, while the shrewdest Chinese that the law had had to deal with laughed in his flowing blouse Sleeve; laughed, and went on piling up wealth that could buy every little garden patch in his native province, and still have enough to burn out all the punk ) that Chinatown could import. During these years the influence of Chin Tan Sun had been increasing until it made {itself feft witn vyespect and fear, not oniy in the Asiatic quarter, but beyond its limits. He was a member-of the Chinese Six Com- panies. He was one of a trio at the touch of whose yellow fingers the fortunes of their countrymen were molded, made and unmade. These three were Big Jim, Littie Pete and Chan Chung. “Big Jim’ was now the name by which Chin Tan Sun was known throughout San Francisco. The long-legged lad from-the Orient had grown into some six feet of very g00d-looking, smooth-shaven Chinaman, better Prepor- tioned than the majority of the Chiyese. In business maiters he was regarded as the soul onor. Said a man t6 me who knew him well) “If Big Jim Were to tell me that he woutil meet ine 4A a certain Place within the hour to pay-me $10,000 in coin, I would Know that he would be chere if he were alive.’’ sticks eee For the past decade the entire project has been in abeyance, except that it has been/ considered from time to time by the varioug steamship companies. While denying that they contemplate any move in the matter at the present time, the officers of the different companies interested in ocean travel admit that they have figured very carefully upon the relative advantages and drawbarks of the scheme. The reason they give for not undértaking it before this time is that, tn theiy opinion, the necessity of transferring Passengers and baggage twice in reaching New York would result in Inconvenience ana expense sufficient to counterbainnce the saving in time. ‘To land the voyagers and their be- longings upon trains at Montauk and then to reload them on ferryboats’ to crass the East River undoubtedly would result in dis- comfort and vexatious delays, It was de- cided: that the majority of travelers would prefer to spend a few hour Jonger in tran- sit In order to step direct from the gang- plank to the city streets, father than sub- mit to the annoyance of @) double transfer. None of the steamship companies was ready to go Into the project of Bullding a tunnel for passing the East River, and so the plan was laid on the table, ‘ Now comes the Penrylvania Rallroad Co. with its mililors' of Capital and unlimited credit and annoOtineces its intention of constructing a tunnel t& connect its new- ly acquired branch with tits main system. There are other plans unWer way for tun- nel# under the East River between New York and Brooklyn. Thé eompletion of these enterprises will make {t possible to land passengers from the eastern end of Long Island in New York Or in the railway , stations across the North River without change, / The chief objection to the Montauk ter- minal project is thus remo¥ed and the prob- ability that coean liners Will sooner or later deposite their passengers kt a great land'ng station at Montauk, instead of within thé city limits, is greatly Mmerunqee. On account of the fact that several] of the prominent directors of the Pennsylvania Railway are also interested’ tn the Amer'can line of steanférs, the report that a combina- tion was to be effected by ‘whfSh the Amert- can line ships would arta qe to land their passengers at Montauk bfis gained consid- erable ‘eredence.

San Jose, was at one time owned by Chin. He also has ranches scattered over the State, and contemplates starting a steam- ship line along the Chinese coast. His wealth is declared to reach the mult!i-mill- lon mark. When an American becomes enormously rich he usually builds a palace and buys a topnotch branch of the society tree for his gaily-plumaged wife and dauchter., that they may sufficiently dazzle the sv- cial aviary. He is seldom the happier for his financial position, and subsequently dropping wut of the«businees mueistrom, leaves his dollars for itenegade sons to equander. A rich Chinaman lves his alictted time His sons inherit his wealth and they do not abuse the trust. Obeying the con- mands of Confucius, they must pay al and any debts contracted by the father, but the father is not liable for debts incurred by his sons. A rich Chinaman attends ben. quets, where he drinks samsahu and eats birds’ nests, sharks’ fins, seaweed and oth- er imposaible delicacies dear to the Chi- nese pulate. He attends the continuous performance theaters. He employs severai valets to care for his wardrobe which is magnificent. Gome times he is so fast‘d- ‘ous that he has three sets af coats and rcousers embroidered in the same flowers— rich display of buds for morning, Wles#soms for the afternoon and full blown flowers four evening. Incidentally, he acquires a ‘harem. Such are the opportunities impraved by Chin Tan Sun—not excepting the harem. And what of the white wife?

Try rubbing them with vinegar and watern and efterward with salts of am- monia. Repeat the treatment two or three time a day. The warts will probably fall off, if they are the ordinary flat variety. You can have warts and moles removed without much expense and with little pain. If I were in your place I should not at- tempt to remove them without assistance. Common warts may be removed also by re- peated. applications of any one of a number of acids, such as nitric, hydrochiortc or acetic, or by the lunar caustio pencil In applying any of these remedies care must be taken not to touch the surrounding skin with them, else a stain and scar may re- sult. It Is best to isolate the wart before putting on the caustic by spreading a thin layer of soft wax or epermaceti over the adjacent surface. All the agents menttoned are Hable to leave permanent marks, and for this reason I think the subject should not attempt to do the work herself. Hair Tonic Without O11. CONSTANT READEIR.—I think ff you will try the following prescription it will dry out the excess of oll in your hair and give it the appearance you so much desire: Cologne, 8 ounces; rose water, 2 ounces; spirits of cauiphor, 2 ounces. Apply to the roots every Puffiness Under the Eyes. REX.—Puffiness under the eyes is rome- times caused by disease. If it is merely fat the massage I have heretofore described should smooth it down, in common with the general reduction of your flesh, which may be attained by liberal outdoor exercise. If the puffiness is caused by disease con- sult a physician. Usvally it is a condl- tion caused by loss of sleep, in which event have more regular hours of repose and diet yourself systematically. Premature Gray Hair. T am 24 years old and am getting quite gray, that is, eome of the hairs on top of my head are coming in eray. Of course, when I am careful in combing my hair, they do not show, but they are a source of an- noyance to me Perhaps you will say I am cid enough to heve them and should not worry about,them;: but my hair has been my one redeeming feature. It is quite long and until three years ago was very thick; at that time I had @ sick epell and my #air began to fall out, since which time I have noticed more or less gray hairs. Winter before fast I wore a rat in my hair. Do you think the heat from that would cause them? I have more or less Gandruff on top of my head, but I shampoo my hair ance every two weeks and thought that would prevent that, an you recommend a tonic for my halr end head? I don't ike anything that would make it look’ greasy and I woukin’t like anything that would be in the nature of a cye.

Dear Madam—I am a pire to beccme a journalist. An old pro- fessor told me a long time ago that I had & talent in that work. I feel it so strong, though I have had but little time to im- prove. I would like to have your opinion on the inclosed if you would be so kind. B. B Journalism, my dear young man, is a phase of newspaper work which has not. heretofore included the writing of sentl- mental poetry—though I am told by. those who ought to know that ft is responsible for many varieties of composition. The ability to write poetry does not neo- essarily indkate a talent for jourralism. There are plenty of poets who could not acquire the ability to do anything in a news- paper office except to get in everybody's way, and there are journalists who can write very clever poetry. You have more nearly touched the key- note when you say: Good journalists, like poets, are born, not made. The fact that you want to write and can scarcely refrain from writing shows that your inclinations are in the direction of literature and perhaps journalism; the fact that you have sentiment and a fairly good form of expression is also in your favor. There was a boy whose father designed him for trade. As a “cash boy” he acrib- bled on the backs of envelopes; es a “bun- die boy” he wrote all over the wrapping puper—poetry, incident, history; as a youth he got diecharged for writing on the show- cases. Result—He is one of the best-known newspaper men in the West. Moral—Be sure that you will always want to write and that you will never grow weary of the remorseless grind which the fact involves.

Then they are surprised because the fire will not burn. The wood for the morning fire ought to be placed on the rack the night before. The bundles become thoroughly dry and ignite quicker. To light a fire the paper should be loosely arranged and the sticks of wood placed leaning against it. Bvery- thing burns quicker when placed in an up- right position. Small pieces of coal from yesterday’s fire should be placed in lightly about the wood and space between allowed for the air to circulate.

Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. ILLIAM H. KING, president of the National Society of Electro-Thera- peutists, following the lead of Dr. Heber Robarts of St. Louls, whose exper'!- ments were recently described in the Sun- day Post-Dispatch, has demonstrated that it is possible to increase the size of the muscles by simple electrical] treatment. He has applied the current to the arms of athletes and increased the size and strength of the muscles thereby. This is proved by tests on a dynamometer. The person who takes the current is eble to squeeze the dynamometer much harder after treatment than before. No other exercise ie necessary. Theodore Waters is one of several men who have undergone thie treatment, and he thus deseribes the process and the sensa- tions he experienced for the Sunday Post- Dispatch: BY THEODORE WATERS. SIT’ in a large tron chair. There is an electrode at the back of my neck and one at each wrist. The operator near by moves a switch. Through my muscles a wave of electricity surges forth and back. The sponge which has been dripping wa- ter down my spine seems suddenly to be- come red hot. My arms leap up involun- tarily from the arms af the chair, and then, ae I gaap, comes relief—the oursent has been cut off. Now, I am not being electrocuted, al- though the parallel condition is suggestive enough. I eum in a gymnasium, Nota piace of Indian clubs, tumbbells, punmching-bags and similar contrivances, but a laboratory- like affair where electricity is chief serv- ant and science is master.

Men and women come to this platform and sit upon it to be im- pregnated with the medicinal virtues of thumder and lightning. There are switches to the right of me and to the left, and curious little electric lamps which glow intermittently and seemingly with amall reason, although they perform a necessary ofixe in using up superfluous electric current. The operator is hera there and every- where—whenever, in fact, Gis services are needed for the moment. It is to test the personal efficacy of the method that I now sit In the chair. My arms are bare to the shoukiers, Dr. King lifts the electrode from my right wrist and places it on a motor point near the shoulder. He turne on the current. Im- mediately and without my having the elightest intention of so doing my fist clenchea, my arm leaps back and I strike straight forward, delivering a body blow at the atmosphere. Were a man in the way of hat fist 1 would certainly have knocked him Gow n. The current is turned off and the arm drops limply. Again the current is sent through it, and again & goes up. I try to prevent it, but it is no use. I m ght as well try to stay a thunderbolt. For the first time in my life the impulse that moves my arm comes not from my brain. My will cuts no figure in thes® gynmastics, and, curiousiy enough, the arm does not seem to belong to me. I watch with external interest as I might an automaton, Except for the large spange electrode between my shoulder- blades, which begins to burn tremendously, and the peculiar throb which naturally comes after the blow I take smal!) interest in that arm. I am somewhat more con- cerned with the explosions of the etatic gen- erator.

Seelng bow helpless I am in the hands of this powor, I feel Nike eug- gesting ludicrous uses for an apparatus that can make a man do many things against his will, but as this would be quite without the dignity of science, I ask Dr. King instead now he came to discover that electric currents are capable of developing the strength of muscles. Now, the altruistic feature of this muscle- strengthening process is that any galvanic battery and anyone with a swiftly acquired knowledge of the motor points of the body can praduee all of the contractions and hemee do all the musvle-strengthening nec- essary to the business of manufacturing strong men. I euggest this to Dr. King, who mere shrugs his shoulders, There is, however, little or nothing to pre- vent the practice of electric muscle strengthening being adopted in all gymna- siums and by prize -fighters in training.

BUNDAY MORNING—ST- LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—MAY 28, 1900. QUEEN NABO OF SWAZILAN = , ——-* -~ = She Has a Weakness for Removing Persons From This Sorrowing World and Usually Pacifies Her People vy Slaughter. £ LONDON, May 10. Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. NB of the most interesting pere.n- () ages in South Africa just now is Nabo ’Tseben!, Queen of Swaziltnd. Along with the war news from that part of the world have Gome recently many ac- counts of the high handed doings of the Swazi Qneen. Swaziland ts an independent native kingdom under the protection of the Gouth African Republic. As the Boers have just now enough to do protecting themselvs Nabo ‘Tseben! is not interfered with in her Httle diversions. The news which came the other day of the death of Nabo’s son, King Bunu, and of the vigorous manner in which the Queen had cleared the political atmosphere by a general elimination of objectionable ter- eons drew especial attention to her ebony majesty. Compliments ought to be exchanged be- tween the Empress of China and the Queen of Swaziland. These two royal ladies have peculiarities in common, chief among which gnay -be mentioned an amiable weakness for removing people who dispute their pow- er. Their histories also have a striking similarity. Like her “great and good friend” -of China the Queen of Swaziland was not worn to the purple, and, like her also, began to plan for power and sovereignty as soon @s she took her place among ber royal husband's wives. In the days when the good king Umban- Gine reigned over the Gwazis there was among his subjects a bold and fearless ,raider, named Mataffini, who ‘tecame ‘known as the “Lion of Swaziland.” He was of no family of importance, but by his deeds of valor he raised himself and {his relatives to positions of prominence in jcae kingdom, and the king took for one of his wives Mataffini’s sister, Nabo ’Tsebeni. From the day she entered the royal har- -em Nabo exercised a remarkable influence over the king. She was shrewd and tactful ‘and her advice on matters of state was ‘sound. She determined that her son should , be king to succeed his father. All her riv- als met with misfortune in one way or r@nother and finally she concentrated her efforts upon the chief wife of the king. Ma- ‘pungulala, who was of royal blood amd ‘whose son would naturally succeed to the throne upon the death of Umbandine. As the old king drew near his death in 1889 the reins of government were more and ‘snore taken up by the strong hand of Na- bo. She made a charge of witchcraft against ‘Mapungulala and that unhappy woman to eave her life flied from the country, there- by, according to Swazi law, disqualifying her son from any rights to the throne. Nabo won over to her side the commander-in- chief of the Swazi army, one Tikuba, and . with him the king’s old regiment, which was on duty about the royal kraal. That year the kine diel. Now, according to the law of Swaziland, the titie of queen appertains, not to the wife of the king but to his moth- er, and Umbandine had living an adopted mother who waa entitled, with the elders of the nation to nominate the new king. But Nabo proclatmed her son, Umgwana, vevally called Bunu, King, saying that just before he died the old king = had stretched out Is right hand, saying, “This is my might arm, and his name fs Bunu.” She herself took the title of queen and pre- pared to rule as regent during the minority of Bunu. The dead king's adopted mother made some faint attempt to assert her rights. but Tikuba and his soldiers over- awed all opposition and Nabo'’s mother-in- jaw retired to private life with celerity. Bunu might have grown up to be a good king, but he got into bad company. He surrounded himself with a crowd of aristo. cratic young men of distinctly sporting pro- clivities, and, breaking away from his mother’s control, proceeded to make the court of Swaziland almost as lively a place as the court of Servia was under that royal blackleg King Milan. Bunu’s sycophants poured flattery into his ears until he began to think that he was @ very bie man indeed. Things went from bad to worse with the young king, until one day a leading induna was found mysteriously murdered. Bunu at first de- nied any knowledge of the affair, but the evidence against him was so strong that he fled the country. He remained away for some time, while his mother straight- ened things out and finally paved the way for her erring son's return. He came back but did not reform, and so he was gathered to his fathers the other day. Just how the gathering was done does not appear, but {ft was done effectually, and it is thought with the sanction of the Queen, who had got tired of trying to make a man out of Bunu, and has a younger son whom she intends to place on the throne in his stead. The death of Bunu was followed by & thorough ‘‘house cleaning’ on the part of Queen Nabo. Several persons who, in her royal wisdom, she considered dangerous to the welfare of the state were placed be- yond the chance of making any more trou- ble, and she will hereafter look after af- fairs herself entirely, not delegating to any one even the slight power she allowed Bunu. Queen Nabo is about 50 years old and is not handsome according to the debased standards of the white man, but in Swazi- land she is accounted ‘‘a fine figger of a woman.” When she was married she was a slim young woman and was a great belle. She looks taller than she really is, owing to the method by which she, in common with the other women of her country, dresses her hair. By some mysterious pro- cess the royal tresses are made to grow, trellis fashion, over a wickerwork arrange- — - —s Me beSsécened Ushed | TPE Met eg es teseree. 4 .

The tide has turned in his favor and he fs bound to bring his price in any market. , Think of it! More than 20,000 head of these Tange horses have been sold in one market, namely, the South St. Paul market, during the last 60 days. Thousands have been sold also et Omaha, Kansas City and at various other markets, and large herds of these | horses, formerly called worthiess animals, _ 4 Ste being gathered in Montana and Wash- , toston for sales to take place in St. Louis & and Chicago in the early part of May.

How did Dobbin of the West degenerate? What was the cause of his downfall and _ @his singularly reversed condition? *! A dowen or more years ago a scarcity of + Good horses existed, and the new settlers _ er" -"* ranchers of the plains began tv in- “ng stock. The farmers in the Missouri valleys did like- fow years It was not ebsolutely no sale for any but the best horses. It was too expensive for the west- ern ranchers to ‘“‘close herd” or ‘hold their stock in corrals, consequently they turned their horses loose, regardless of their sex, and like bands of gypsies, these horses be- gan to roam the prairies and tao clim! rhe steep sides of the mouniains. The statutes were overlooked or totally ignored, the stal- lions were set loose among the various Strains of blood and multiplied the varieties and number of horses on the prafries until it was out of the question to herd them, and colts were turned loose as soon as branded. These horses degenerated in size and quality, and during the early nineties were generally dubbed “bronco” and “cay- use,”’ also the “gay and festive,”’ because of his bucking proclivities. He was also called the “cow” or “maverick” horse, not- withstanding the fact that some excellent blood flowed in his veins. Soon poor Dobbin was forsaken by man; his roving bands multiplied into and the ranges were overrun. Dobbin, or the rollicking, bronca, dubbed a nuisance. In 1895, incredible as it may seem to some, the writer and several others con- ceived the idea of creating a market by advertising Mr. Cayuse in Europe, also in our Eastern States, with a-view of dis- posing of him on the hoof if possible; if not, then to have him sliced up and served in steaks to the Frenchmen, and in millions Think of this vast army stalking the prairies in daylight, and, like specters in the moonlight, eating the grasses that were required for the sus- tenance of the cattle and sheep. Then was high-roiling sausages to the Germans. Articles in this Strain were written and copied in journals throughout the world, calling the attention of capitalists to these millions upon millions of horses herding on the rich grasses of the plains once occupied by the buffalo, the elk and the antelope, drinking from the pure mountain streams and tributaries of the great rivers. In 189% several train- loads were shipped on the hoof to Ger- many, and about that time there was in- augurated in Oregon the slaughter of horses fresh from the ranges, since which date shipments of pickled and canned horse meat have been made regularly from this horse meat factory located at Portland to Stockholm, Sweden, Christiana, Norway and Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1898 an enterprise of this character to be handled on a large scale was on the tapis, and the only thing that prevented its consummation and lotation on _ the ranch of the once famous Marquis de Mores on the Northern Pactfic Railway, in North Dakota, was the threatened ad- vance in the price of horses. To such an extent had the market depreciated up to this time that many breeders were forced into bankruptcy. The electric cars had multiplied in nunYber, taking the place of hhorsecars, the bicycle had become a favor- ite means of transportation and pleasure and did not require feeding and stabling; these and other causes served to humble and degrade poor broncho, the halfbreed, most shamefully. Think of buying a horse for $1.0—you could buy thousands of them at this price a few years ago! The Montana breeders were the most en- ergetic and progressive of any in the West, They bought sires of thoroughbred and trotting biood in Kentucky, and fine grades of Clydesdale and Norman stallions were imported from TFwurope. It is said that bunches of Mexican horses, mixed with Spanish blood, strayed to the northern ranges and mixed up things with the Maverick horse, and all classes thus herd- ing together became woefully mixed in lood. With the advent of 1900 the boom began. The low prices which prevailed for several years caused a cessation in breeding in the East; the bicycle boom began to de- cline; the Spanish-American war used up thousands of horses; the war in Africa caused a search to be made in the United States for horses to climb the kopjes after the Boers; and all these combined served to take the kinks out of the market, when prices begun to advance. The Eastern and the Middie States were being cleared of horses of average value, and this forced the buyers of those states to look to the West to replenish their farming districts with cheaper horses. This search for horses will yah the sales will be numerous The auction sales at South St. Paul are conducted in an honest, upright and busi- ness-like manner. A ring is prepared for buyers which has a seating capacity near- ly equal to that of a circus. The horses are cut out and assorted in carload lots before the sale takes place, each bunch be- 4 ing keptin wings and alleyways convenient to run into the sales ring at a moment's notice. A carload is put up, and the auc- tioneer sells almost in a minute from the time it is run in, each buyer present hav- ing an opportunity to bid, but compelled to do so on the jump. Now the Western horse is coming in for its share of admiration. Heretofore it was the “measly thing.’’ Now it is d@ifferent— they are a “fine lot of Western horses,” with “plenty of bone,”’ some “splendid bays and fine roans,"’ “well gaited,” etc. It is praised all round by the farmers and horse- men who attend the sales, and if you could hear the auctioneer, you would think there never was any other kind of a horse known to man. He can furnish the buyer with a “tiptop bay,” “a beauty of a black,” “a gray with a good pair of eyes and splendid bone,” ‘a white with fine shoulders and broad back’’—look at him now! Isn't hea beauty?"’ He can furnish you a dbiack horse with white eyes, or a white horse with black eyes, just as you please. In a “Jiffy” he can run into the ring a carload of etripes, checks, plaids, circus horses, of horses of any color in the rainbow. The writer attended one of the sales when 3000 horses were sold in car- ‘load lots tn ebout four hours. He can tes- tify to the truth of the auctioneer’, state- ments In this respect. There were rses of nearly every size; and as for color, near- ly every shade found in the windows of one of our fashionable dry goods stores! It has been demonstrated that the range horse, properly broken, is es gentle as any borse in the work. One can see them about our streets every day. The delivery boy ecarcely ever stops to tte them; they are perfectly quiet until ee 4 hear his voice again, or the noise of the crack of his whip. I predict that Dobbin of the range will never again serve to tickle the palate of the French and German connois- seur, but that he is destined to go in single and double harness along wi the milkman and the plowboy. He will rollick with the cultivator and take part in the performance at the circus. If his rear ped- estals occasionally go up in the air you may be sure that the is cogitating on some of the incidents of his earher good old days on the western prairie, when he didn’t have to do a stroke of work. Une of my neighbors suddenly lost one < his large gray carriage horses geen found one from Montana which match him thoroughly in gait, size and style ~~ 120-pound bbin is now as proud and happy as a dumb animal can possibly be, together with his mate drawing his mis- tress in a Victoria or brougham shopping and on pleasure excursions. Dobbin is destined to serve in various ca- acities over all our land. The Northern acific Railway Co. is sending buyers to the ranches in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and Oregon to bring more horses to the auction sales, and if the owners will accept reasonable prices, hun- dreds of thousands of horses be brought east and cash from me faa will be left in the west in exchange for them. —_— Pale | ea i Weak Women Ts.
