The men who have made a mark in the world have always been the men who set the pace for the rest of mankind. Last week the Sunday Post-Dispatch set the ficial Capacity, and Their Words Are PLANTED RAPID FIRE GUNS. HIS RETAINERS THREW UP IN- TRENCHMENTS. Streeter Settled on Sandbar in 1883 and Has Since Made a Desperate Fight for Possession Against Chicago Authorities. CHICAGO, May 26.—With an armed body and entangle- toak After mei intrenchments and planted of twenty men, some barbed wire for making ments, Capt. George Streeter to-day possession of 186 acres of land here. hoisting the United States flag his threw up two in each one of the rapid-fire guns. Shortly before noon blood was spilled be- fore Capt. Streeter’s stronghold Pickets thrown out two rapid-fire guns ing from the direction of Lincoln Park, consisting of Park Superintendent Redies- ki and Secretary Erby, reinforced by a po- liceman. Calls of ‘“‘Halt!” failed to the park officials, who were bent upon find- ing out who was “encroaching upon their ground.”’ A volley from the pickets’ rifles quick’y put to flight the investigating party, how- ever, and one of the bullets struck a 14- year-old boy, Reuben Manly, in the right knee, inflicting a severe wound. The park officials fled to a patrol box and turned in a riot call. A foree of 20 ur 30 pglicemen, armed with revolvers and clubS, hurried to the scene from the Chi- cago Avenue Station. When the officer in command saw the display of foree, eattling guns being po'nted his way over the en- trenchments, he ordered a retreat. The police immediately .seturned to the Chi- cago Avenue Station, where arrangements Were made to arm them with Winchester rifles, in an endeaveor to capture the Streeter forces. : Capt. Streeter claims to own the land, which, were the title clear, would be worth ge thirty and fifty millions of dollars. n 1883 Capt. Streeter and his wife were @tranded on a little sandbar a few yards from the shore at the foot of Superior Street. The spot was not down on the maps and the doughty navigator laid claim to the land and declared his right, being the whale population, to elect himself to all the offices which he, in framing a con- stitution, deemed the territory in need of. As the years passed the dumping of all forts of refuse and the earth washed up by the lake formed a large tract and Capt. Streeter became man of im- portance. With his importance and the increased value of the lands his troubles began. The tract became connected with the shore and owners of adjoining property resented the resence of Capt. Streeter and the retainers he had gathered about him. They carried the matter into court. The Supreme Court of the United States Gecided that the land was within the ju- risdiction of the State of Illinois. Streeter thereupon offered the district to the federal] government. A year ago he organized un- der the name “District of Lake Michigan,’’ a territorial government, and elected him- Belf chief justice and to the other offices of importance. The police, however scended on him and his army of about fiftv men, and since then. up to to-day, the captain had lived in another part of town. The preparations to retake possession were made with great secrecy, and it was not until dawn to-day that the police were aware of the invasion. Patrolman O'Malley Saw a small schooner anchored off the shore when daylight broke. From the boat Capt. Streeter landed his men, and the pa- trolman telephoned Inspector Hliede!meier of the occurrence. The inspector resolved to make no move until after a conference with the law department of the city. and in consequence the invaders, or rightful owners, as they claim to be, were left un- molested while the police are trying to fig- ure out a campaign. a DEFIED THE SUPREME COURT Mexican Judge, Interested in $20,- 000,000 Mines, Refuses to Turn Them Over to American Owners. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CITY OF MEXICO,May 26.—Advices from Durango are to the effect that the Judge ; of the Lower Court refuses to obey the ‘ ‘ _ to turn over to W. | mandate of the Supreme Court of Mexica J. Grace three im- portant mining properties, the Vacas, San Marcos and Bismarck, which are valued at $20,000,000. Grace is the son of Mrs. Mary A. Grace, a teacher in Syracuse, N. Y., who has been fighting for her prop- erty, of which she was illegally deprived, for some years. This is the third time the Lower Court has refused to carry out an order in the pace for the newspaper world by printing 98 halftone pictures in its Magazine Sec- tion. This week it will eclipse that rec- ord by printing 102 halftone pictures, and it so happens that of this exceptionaMwy large number exactly 100 are women.

HE WAS INCURABLY ILL AND IN CONSTANT PAIN. Landoll Was a Patient at the Baptist Sanitarium and His Dead Body Was Found Below a Window. ° From a fourth story window of the Bap- tist Sanitarium at Taylor avenue and Sub- urban tracks Albert Landoll plunged to his death. early Saturday morning. Circum- stances point to deliberate suicide. Landoll was 45 years old. His family, consisting of his wife and two sons, live at 1930 Morgan street. For some time* he had been suffering from an incurable dis- ease. In addition, his throat was affecied and he could not swallow food. He was in continual pain. He was enrolled as a patient at the sani- tarium four weeks ago. The superintendent, Dr. A. B. Wilkes, took personal charge of the case, but from the start he realized the patient was beyond medical skill. In .the last few days Landoil appeared unusually despondent, though he never in- timated self-destruction. He was confined to a ward on the north side of the sani- tarium. The windows face on a side roof, which extends outward about four feet. It would have been impossibie, seemingly, for Landoll to have fallen out of the win- dow. The sill is several feet from the floor and about three feet higher than the roof. About 1 o’clock Saturday morning Landoll was seen pacing the floor of the ward. He net sleep. The nurse who was on watch stepped out of the ward for When she returned Landoll was gone. One of the tients remarked that he had heard a lou noise as if some one had fallen heavily on the ground. Upon investi- Landoll’s body was found immedi- IT @ith had resulted instantly. The bouy was carried inside and later the coroner's office was notified. Dr, Drexler was detailed to investigate. Dr. Wilkes stated to the Post-Dispatch Landoll had a hemorrhage of the condition, he had taken his life into his own hands.

Francis Declares Union La- bor Favors the Fair and That Transit Company Officials Are Opposed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 2%.—An_ informal conference of the friends of the Louisiana Purchase Fair was held this morning in the room of the House committee on ac- counts, Champ Clark and Mr. Bartholdt reported that they had nearly two hundred signers to the petition asking Speaker Henderson to give time fer the consideration of the Lane bill. Among the signers to-day were Representative Janes T. Hull of Iowa, cheirman of the committee on military af- fairs: Representative Foss of Illinois, chair- man of naval affairs, two of the tnost promi- inent Republicans of the House. Mr. Clerk reported that there were 164 Democraiic members present. Of these he had secured the signatures of 102 and he had not asked the other two, Bailey of Texas and Richardson of Tennessee, be- cause they are the two Democratic Repre- sentatives on the committee on rules. tepresentative Barthoidt told of one re- fusal, which shows how actively Represent- ative Sherman of New York, a:member of the special committee which considered the Lane bill, is seconding Speaker Hen- derson’s efforts to kill the Fair bill by re- fusing to let the House vote on it. Mr. Bartholdt presented the petition of Repre- sentative Louis Emerson, the Republican member of the Twenty-third New York Dis- trict. ‘‘Wait a minute until I see Jim Sher- man,’ said Mr. Eanerson, He saw Sherman and returned to Mr. Bartholdt. ‘|! can't sign that,’ said the New Yorker. “Sherman told me not to.”’ Representative Sherman also went to the speaker and told him that if he heard Joy and others cn the proposition to let the Lane bill come before the House he wanted a chance to be heard in cpposition to it. Ex-Gov. Francis, Mr. Cebb, Mr, Spencer and Mr. Frank are still at work upon the Plan of persuading the speaker to let the Lill pass, and by night they may be able tu accurately forecast the result of their labors. » When ex-tiov. Francis and Mr. Cobb called on Speaker Henderson yesterday Mr. Franzis took immediate occasion to say that, although he had lived in St. Louis 3% years and »helieved his acquaintance in that city was as extensive as that of any other resident, he had no knowledge of Cc. E. Richter and C, Larkener Richeson, who had signed a protest against the World’s Fair bill. . “Mr. Speaker,’ he said, ‘I never heard of these men as tuxpayers, and I cannot now remember that 1 ever knew of such per- sons.”’ Mr. Francis, on seeing the message in the Washington papers, wired to St. Louis for some explanition of this fire in the rear. He also referred toa report from St. Louis that organized labor had taken a stand against the World’s Fair. The labor unions of St. Louis and al) their officers, Mr. Francis was informed, were in favoyry of the Fair, This answer was shown to Speaker Hen- derson. Mr. Francis also told the speaker that 16,000 workingmen in St. Louis were subscribers to the Fair fund. Furthermore, to make it plain that organized labor could have no reason to oppose the Fair, he told the speaker that leading officials of the transit company were opposed to the Fair, and had not sub- scribed to it. Under such circumstances, he xinted out that organized labor cer- tainly would not array itself on the side of oy transit company in opposition to the Fair. MAY NOT ADJOURN ON JUNE 6. Important Measures Pending Which Will Require a Prolongation of the Session. WASHINGTON, May 2.—The prospect that Congress will be ready to adjourn on June 6 does not appear so favorable as 24 hours ago, in the opinion of Senator Al- lison, chairman of the committee on appro- priatiors. The army, navy, postoffice and District of Columbia appropriation bills are stil] in conference and the sundry civil, military academy and general deficiency bills have not been passed by the Senate, There is an impression among some of Pthe car. ARBITRATION MUST BE IN ALL FUTURE CITY FRANCHISES. DELIVERS HIS ULTIMATUM. Hereafter, He Says, He Will Sign No Ordinance Not Requiring Arbitra- tion in Case of Difficulty. Since the beginning of the street car strike Mayor Ziegenkein has steadfastly declined to make any statements. regarding the situ@tion, confining his published views on the subject to the words of his two proc- lamations. Saturday morning, however, he told the Post-Dispatch that he had been studying the situation at much length and had come to one conclusion. “That is’’ said the mayor, “that as long as I am mayor, 1 will not sign any Dill granting to any company or corporation any franchise affecting the interests of the pub- lic unless it contains a proviso that in case any difficulty arises between the com- pany! and its employes it be settled by arbi- tration. If such a proviso were a part of the franchise under which the street rali- ways of this city are now operating we would have no such trouble as this. I want the proviso for this arbitration to be so worded that it will revoke the franchise of the company if it refuses to submit to arbi- tration. ‘TI don’t care whether it is a board of three arbitrators or more. But I want the arbitration clause inserted in every such biil before I will sign it. “I am with the Post-Dispatch on the arbi- tration proposition. It came out the first day and suggested arbitration for this strike. That is my idea of how these things should be settled and I have said so right along. “IT refused to sign the Central Traction bill twice, but it was finally passed over my head. And I will refuse to sign any other such bill that comes along unless it contains the proviso I have mentioned.” LOOKING INTO THAT SHOOTING Chief Desmond Is Investigating the Disturbance at Compton and Park Avenues Last Thursday Night. Chief of Detectives Desmond is investi- gating the ehooting of James S. Harding and Donald Watts, former transit com- pany men, and Herman Fichtenmeyer, a real estate dealer, supposedly by transit company employes on a car at Compton and Park avenues Thursday night. The eight employes who were arrested for complicity in the affair and the four who surrendered to the police were released Friday on bonds furnished by the transit company. Chief Desmond took the etatements of these men, eight of whom said that the first shots were fired from persons not on Four of the men said that they laid down under the 6eats and were un- abie to tell who was doing the shooting. Thus far the statements of ail the other erenenge who saw the disturbance and who ave testified before Chief Desmond agree that no shote were fired except those by the men on the car, that no stones were thrown and that there was no attempt to inerfere with the passage of the car. These statements include those of Po- liceman Mahoney, who was on the front end of the car, and adv eed the transit company men not to shoot; Patrick Clark. ex-member of the City Council, who says no stones were thrown before the shoot- ing began, and Patrick A. Reagan, clerk of the First District Police Court. William A. Brandenburger of the Lin- coln Trust Co. saye there wae absolutely no disturbance until the men on the car began shooting. Mr. Fichtenmeyer, who was dangerously wounded, made a similar statement to his wife. , James S, Harding, at the City Hospital, ie still in a critical condition. The doctors say there are symptoms of blood poison- ing. If he can survive for two or three days, they say, he may recover. Harding’s brother, Frederick, hae arrived from chi- cago, and is at the wounded man’s bed- side. He eays that h's aged mother, who lives in Nebraska, does not know of the shooting. Motorman Harding requested that the news be kept from her. Warrants charging ‘‘assauit to kill’’ were issued Saturday against Otto Schmidt master mechanic of the transit company: Themas B.

Sunday Cars Will Be Operated on the Main East and West Lines of the Lindell. SUBURBAN MATTER SETTLED. OOOOH HOOOHOOOHOOOODSD © CAR SERVICE SUNDAY. Cars will run from 8 a. m. Sunday morn- ing till sundown on the following lines of the S+. Louis Transit Co.'s system, but no cars will be run on any of the exclusively north and south lines. Delmar avenue, Page avenue, Spaulding avenue, Park avenue, Olive street, Laclede avenue. ® © OO OO OOS HEOOEHHOOSHDD No cars on the transit company’s lines ran after 10 o’clock Saturday, when the po- lice were taken from the cars and ordered to their beats and to the various polling places for the Democratic primaries. All transit company lines stopped at that hour. The polls are open from lto 8p. m. The police were relieved of their street car duty early that they might walk home and have dinner and walk to their respective sta- tions before the opening of the polls. President Whitaker of the transit com- pany stated to the Post-Dispatch that he could not run the cars without police pro- tection. The law requires that the police guard the polls on all election days, and the police authorities claim there were rot officers enough to keep the polls and the car lines open at the same time. Chief Campbell announced to the Post- Dispatch that he would afford any protec- tion ,asked by the transit company for the operation of cars Sunday. Cars will run on the several lines of the Lindell division, i. o, Compton Heights, Park avenue, Del- mar, Spaulding and Page, on Olive street and Laclede avenue. This leaves the north- ern and southern sections entirely without service, the only lines provided for being those which virtually parallel the Subur- ban, After verging perilously near another strike, the Suburban employes and the company reached an agreement late Friday evening. Manager Jenkins and Chairman Woodworth of the grievance committee finally adjusted the points in controversy and averted a renewal of the strike. The strike on the transit company lines presents no indication of early settlement. Neither side has made any further over- tures to the other. President Whitaker says that the company has no new proposition to make, and that any proposal must come from the strikers. The most serious trouble Friday occurred on the Jefferson avenue line, where a strik- ing motorman was killed and a policeman and another man were wounded. Few Bellefontaine line and Cass avenue cars were run, imterference having been so general during the past few days. Late Friday afternoon a car was started on the Cherokee street line for the first time since May 8 When it reached Lemp and Cherokee streets a solid mass of men and women gathered and stalied it. After much persuasion the :onductor jumped down and cried: “I'm with you'’ He was carried off on the shoulders of his new admirers. Some boys placed a bomb under the var and there was a deafenin explosion. ‘The front trucks were derail and the car tnrown around. The one policeman on the car went to a factory, a drng store and other business places to telephone for more officers, but in every case ihe use of the phone was de- nied him. Finally he succeeded in turning in a riot vall and a wagon full of officers arrived and they arrested a driver on one of Lemp’s beer delivery wagons and drove Vhe crowd away. ‘ , A Strong Telegram Sent to Speaker Henderson by H.

Organized labor in St. Louls is not op- posed to the World's Fair movement. This is the official announcement sent te David B. Henderson, speaker of-the House of Representatives, by H. . W. Steinbiss, general secretary-treasurer of the National , Building Trades Council, by order of the general executive board, It is also the statement of other labor leaders who are In position to know. Mr. Steinbdiss has been one of the hard workers in favor of the World’s Fair. It has been largely through his influence that | laboring men in St. Louls have subscribed so liberally to the World’s Fair fund. Mr. Steinbiss has, heretofore, in no unmeasured terms denounced the telegram sent to Speaker Henderson, signed “C. E. Richter, Chairman, and C. L. Richeson, Secretary,” stating that a large number of taxpayers. were opposed to the World's Fair bill, and Saturday he followed it up with this tele. gram: Telegram recently sent tn opposition to World's Fair movement was wunof- ficial.

Boers Fortifying a Semicircular Posi- tion Extending From Majuba to Pongwana and Six Guns Are Already Visible to the British Eye. LONDON, May 2%, 3 p. m.—The War Of- fice has received the following dispatch from Lord Roberts: “Wolve Hoek (Orange Free State), May %.—An advanced portion of this force crossed the Vaal River on the Queen's birthday, mear Prys.

There north of is no enemy this side of the river. “Hunter reached Vryberg May 24.” \ LONDON, May 2%.—As anticipated, first news from Lord Roberts, after his long silence, was the announcement that the British had cros6ed the Vaal River. This is probably Gen. Hutton’s column, wh'‘ch cressed at Parys, and may be ex- pected to make a dash at the railroad in the neighborhood of Potchefstroom, whence there is direct communication with Johannesburg. Gen. Hamilton’s column ts at Boechbank, which is close to the river, about eight miles northwest of Wolve Hoe, Lord Rob- erts’ headquarters, and may be expected to aleo cross the Vaal River and create a diversion on the flank of any federal force in the neighborhood of Vereeninging. As he has only about 15 miles to traverse, @ speedy announcement may be expected that the British commander in chief him- self has gained a foothold in the Trans- vaal, and that he will reach the federal position south of Johannesburg in the mid- die of the coming week. The @eame secrecy which shrouded the movements of the main army envelops Lord Methuen’s and Gen. Rundle’s col- umns, 60 probably the next official dis- patches will show decisive movements of these wings. Rundle ought to be close to and the experts ex- pect to hear of some decisive movement | on the Harrismith Railroad, in which part of Gen. Buller’s force will co-operate in the direction of Van Reenen’s Pass. Should the Pretoria bulletin announcing thé reoccupation of Heilbron by the fed- erals turn out to be true it was a totally unexpected development, as Gen. Ian Ham- iiton occupied Heilbron Tuesday and noth- ing has been heard from there since. Gen. Rundle’s division was still at Trom- mel Tuesday. There was a small Boer laager 12 miles to the north of him and be- yond this there was a larger one. The cor- respondent sending this news, which was wired from. Winburg yesterday, said that , tuese Boers were understood to be ready to | Surrender, and that, in his opinion, the war in the Free State was practically over. A dispatch to the Times from Clocolan, Gated May 21, says: “The eighth division has in front of it commandoes headed off from the Transvaal, Which, while not willing to surrender. do not Know where to ec. Their joint strength is estimated at from 1000 to 2000.” The ‘Times has the following from New Castle, dated Thursday: “The Boers are fortifying a very large semi-circular position, extending from Ma- juba to Pongwana.. Large numbers are busy entrenching and six guns are visi- ble.’’ Gen. has communicated Buller to the _ Colonial Government Col.

Advices from Mafeking, dated May 2, gay: The Boers are entrenching at Polfontein, miles east af Mafeking. The Northern Rathway is now repaired to a point within fcurs miles of the town. Ample supplies of plain food are coming in. Col. Baden-Powell voluptarily gave wp 53 Boers and 31 wounded to the Roer com- mandant, who thanked him for his kind- ness. The Baretoneges, stimulated by the British successes, attacked the tehel natives at Reitfontein May 19 and took much loot. They released Sani, the old chief who had rendered sood service to the British in keeping Maf2king supplied with news of the Boer operations. The railwav south of Mafeking is being rapidly repaired and the bridge at Taungs can now be used. Refugees from Mafeking are passing ihrough Taungs bound for the Cape. Two thousand Boers are near Ficksburg besides smail rovirg parties that come into contact with the British while reconnoiter- ing. President Stcyn was with these Boers last Monday organizing and _ inspiriting them and drafting recalcitrants into the service.

At first thie shadow will not be dense enough to hide the outline of the solar sphere, but in a few minutes the obstruction will com- pletely hide those portions of the sun over which it is passing.

The remembrance of a simple fact will make the idea of an eclipse ciear. Whenever we see the moon in the heavens it is between us and some other point in srace. The bricht disc of the moun hides something which we would see if the moor were not in the way. In its apparent pass- age through the heavens the moon some- times comes between the earth and the sun. When this occurs the phenomenon is called an echpse. If the sun is completely obscured the eclipse is called total and if not it is said to be partial. Next Monday’s eclipse will be total, as viewed from the Southern States, but only partial to St. Louis. According to the statements sent out from Weshington the eclipse wll be about nine- tenths total in the Atlantic States and about elght-tenths total in St. Louis, The cinae will reach its maximum in St. Louts at 7:41 mean time, or 7:09 by the elceck. ‘The shadow will first appear at 6:43 and will disappear at 8:5.

He Is perfectly cheerful and keeps itmproving in physical form every day. He can easily best any one of his keepers now with the gloves. He sat on his cot, cheerfully smoking a big cigar, and protesting that it isn’t fair to hang him. He regrets his horrible crime, but doesn’t belleve in worrying about it now. “It was all over, just lke a horse race, and I lose in the stretch,’’ he exclaimed. ‘Hummel has mapped a plan for the re- mainder of his earthly existence.

THE CLAIMS OF EADS HEIRS They Will Be Settled by a Commission That Will Report to Congress in December. WASHINGTON, May 2%.—An amendment to the emergency rivers and harbors bill offered in the Senate deals with the settle- ment of the claims against the government of the heirs of the late James B. BDads of St. Louis. , The amendment provides that the secre- tary of war shall ascertain from the Eads Peirs the value of all boats, dredges and other property owned bY them at or near the South Pass of the Mississippi River. If the legal representative of the Eads estate and the secretary of war cannot a as ta the value of this property, the amend- ment provides that a commission shal] be selected to appraise the value, one of the commissioners to be chosen by the secre- tary of war, the other by the legal repre- sentative of the Eads estate and the third by the two eo provided for. The secretary ° war is to report to Congress in cem- er. CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY FUND. Archbishop Keane Reports He Has Had Great Success.

DEATH FROM SUNSTROKE. Towa Boy Dies in Great Agony From Result of Sunstroke. Special to the Post-Diepgtch. EF LDORA, Io., May %.—Ohris Amondson, a 15-year-old inmate of the State Industrial Behool here, died dast ening in great agony from the result of bein sunstruck m7 fiome was in Belmond, Wright County, Church on dancing, card playing and other prohibited amusement,which was presented yesterday, was taken up by the Methodist General Conference. The galleries of the auditorium were crowded with spectators. Dr. B. P. Raymond of Boston took the floor to speak on the majority report, which reads as follows: That the following words be omitted from paragraph 248, beginning with the eighth line, namely, playing at games of chance, attend- ing theaters, dancing, circuses, horse racing, dancing parties or tronizing dancing and the ‘words ‘‘or’’ and ‘‘other’’ immediately following. so that the paragraph, when amended, shall read: ‘‘Paragraph 248. In case of neglect of duties of any kind, imprudent conduct, indulg- ing in sinful tempers or words, buy- ing, selling or using intoxicating liquors as a beverage, signing titions in favor of granting license for the sale of intoxicating liquor, be- coming bondsmen for persons engaged in such traffic, renting property as a piace in or oa which te manufacture or sell intoxicating liquors, taking such amusements as are obvious- ly of misleading or questionable moral tende.:‘y or disobedience to t order and discipline of - the church. ‘‘Let private reproof bé given by the pastor or leader, and if: there be an acknowledgement cf the fault and proper humiliation, the person may be borne with. On the second offense the ):1stur or leader may take one or two discreet mem '!rs of the <hurch into consultation on the penalty. On a third offense let him be brought to tcal, and if found guilty and there be no sign of real huiliation he shall be expelled.’’ . We recommend that the following be in- serted as an additional section in chapter 3 of the discipline enow called special advices: Amusements—Our church has from the bcgin- ming of fts history insisted that dancing, play- ing at games of chance, attending cances, the- eters, horse racing, circuses, danci.@ parties or patronizi dancing schools and other aimuse- ments, which cannot be used in thee name of the Lord Jesus are perilous to the espiritual life and influence of the members of our church, and enervating to the spiritual power of the church in the great work of saving souls. ‘*The tendency in social circles toward world- ly and dangerous amusements was pever strong- er than it is at the present time, and there- fore we deem it wise to reaffirm our higtoric attitude upon this subject and urge cur people to abstain from and bear unwavering testimony against all amusements and diversions which endanger Christian life and depress the spirit- ual power of the church. This advice must not be interpreted as the waiving of the churen’s right to call to account any one who continues to indulge those diversions which cannot be used in the name of the lord Jesus. “The regulation itself is a dead letter over a large past of our church,”’ said Dr. Raymond. “It cultivates duplicity and thus undermines the fundamental principle of truth in our church. Thus we compromise all other virtues.”’ Dr. Raymond also said that from the study of pedagogy a point could be made in favor of taking the ban from the amuse- ments. “We strike a point about the sixteenth year of age where the will appears. If we would follow nature we cannot build a fence around man, for he rebels.”’ Dr. E. J. Gray of Willlamsport, Pa., also spoke in favor of the majority report. Dr. Buckley was then recognized. ‘The Jes- uits, Lutherans and Church of England never allow the people to dance or to go to the theater for the 40 days during Lent, but they da not have any laws on the sub- ject,” he said. ‘“‘It is not said to any man, ‘Thou shalt not, but the moral force of the body, together with the religious exercises, cause their people to abstain during Lent. I believe Methodists can abstain all the year. The putting of this list in the pres- ence of young people is a foe to sound, genuine conyersion.”’ Dr. J. W. Bashford argued for the ma- jority report saying it intended no dif- ference in the ke ple, but simply a dif- ference in method. Amid a wild clamor for recognition, the previous question was ordered. Frank Arter of New Jersey then put the conference in an uproar by starting to read an amendment proposing to Insert in paragraph 248, “Opera, grand opera, prize fights, bull fights, cock fights, checkers, backgammon, football, baseball, one old cat, two old cat’’—here ‘his voice was drowned by fifty delegates springing to their feet and demanding recognition, while cries of “outrage on the conference,” ‘‘We won't listen to the ridicule of a rule of this church,’’ were heard on all sides. The chair ruled that Mr. Arter was in order and he proceeded amid handclapping and stamping of feet. The conference was again thrown into turmoil by a demand that Bishop McCabe leave the floor. ‘He has no right on the floor of this body en- deavoring to influemce persons in their vot- ing,’’ said Dr. Buckley, hotly. ‘I was here oe pevate business, retorted Bishop Mc- ‘abe. “You were not. You told me to with- draw my motion,”” shouted Mr. Arter. Amid the confusion Mr. Arter then with- drew hig amendment, and the angry dele- g@ies settled in their seats to hear the closing argument in favor of the majority report by Gov. Pattison.

CHICAGO, May 26.—At the afternoon ses- sion of the Methodist Geneyal Conference the result of the balloting for secretaries and assistavt srecretaries of the church be- nevolent societies and for the editors of the various official church pubtications was announced as follows: Missionary Society—Dr. A.

The result of the first ballot for editors ae the official church papers was as fol- ows: Methodist Review—Dr. W. V. Kelley, re- elected. J. M.

WASHINGTON, May 2.—Mr. Powderly, the commissioner-general of immigration, Advocate—Dr. Advocate—Dr. No choice W. has been again asked as to whether Fitz Harris and Mullet, the liberated Irish con- victs who are expected to arrive in this ‘country this week, will be permitted to Jand., | | (him to Powderly said he could not discuss that question, as it might come before him on appeal. He said, however, that an opinion ef the attorney-general rendered Mr. previous to the passage of the immigration act of 1891 holds that a foreign convict who has served part of his sentence and re- ceived an unconditional pardon may enter. “When a man is pardoned,’ said Mr. Powderly, “it has the effect of restoring his rights as a citizen, un.ess the pardoning power stipulates to the contrary.”’ FILIPINO CASUALTIES ASKED.

CHICAGO, May %2%.—Concerning Ger- many’s antagonistic legislation against American live stock and meats, M. F. Hor- ine, statistician for the Chicago stock yards, said to-day: ‘So far as the general live stock mar- kets of the United States are concerned, Germany’s action cuts no figure. Her trade in animals and meats from this country is comparatively insignificant, and neither German prices nor German legislation have any appreciable influence on market values here. On the very day when the prohibi- tive measure was passed by the Reichstag the prices for all' kinds of Hive stock rose on the Chicago market, and neither buyers nor sellers paid any attention to it. The prices of live stock are governed solely by the law of demand and supply, and the demand from Germany has never been a sufficient factor in the market to affect quotations in the least. ‘During the five years, 1894 to 1898, inclu- sive, the exports of meats and meat ani- mals from the United States to Germany have averaged only 2.8 per cent of the total exportations of those commodities. The total value of such exports to Ger- many during the five years named was only $15,700,000, whereas, during the same period our exports of meats and meat anl- mals to England amounted to $607,977,000 in value, in comparison with which the Ger- man figures appear very semall.

MILLION DOLLARS AT STAKE Mrs. Sarah B. Rohrer of Council Bluffs to Contest the Will of Mary Beach Tousey. NEW YORK, May 2%.—A year after its admission to probate the will of Mary Beach Tousey, leaving upward of $1,000,000 to churches and charity, has been attacked on the ground of fraud. Notice of contest was filed to-day by Mrs. Sarah B. Rohrer, the nearest living relative of Miss Beach, who now claims the millions. It was through the action of the council for the will that Mrs. Rohrer learned about the document and took steps to con- test it. These attorneys discovered a few weeks ago that they had neglected to serve notice upon the heirs at law before having the will probated. They hastened to repair this error and wrote to Mrs. Rohrer, citing her to eshow cause before the — why the will should not be pro- ated. Mrs. Rohrer, who lives at Council Bluffs, Io., at once instituted an investigation. She ongaees ex-Judge George M. Curtis to fight the will. The bequests to churches and charities included St. Clements Church, New York, $10,000, as well as a large farm in Los Angeles County Cal. In the papers it is charged that Mrs, Tou- sey was ineane when she made the will. Fraud and undue influence are also charged, but no persons are named. SHOT BY INSANE MAN.

In his dictated interview, published in the Friday Post-Dis- patch, Senator Hale makes another telling assault upon the policy of imperialism. He returns once more to the charge made on the floor of the Senate that powerful financial influences were at work to per- petuate American control of Cuba. This, in Mr. Hale’s opinion, is a “great danger of the future.” The Senator seems to be emphatically opposed to the entire colonial scheme. “I should have felt the same way if the scandalous disclosures of corruption had not appeared,’’ says Mr. Hale, “and I am still more in favor of it (evacuation of the island) since their appearance. I am afraid we have not got to the bottom of them yet. By and by the same thing will appear elsewhere—in Hawaii and in the Philippines—and wherever we undertake the colonial experiment.” This is not prejudice. Mr. Hale fs a Republican in good standing. He cannot be accused of blind partisanship. He reflects the sober conviction of those Americans of all parties who see in colonialism the “great danger of the future.” It is better for a city to own a street railway than for a street railway to own a city. a — THE LAUREATE’S POEM. Mr. Alfred Austin, poet laureate, was so overjoyed at the relief of Mafekirg that he busted right out into verse. Here it is: Then when hope dawned at lagt And fied the foe aghast At the reheving blast Heard in the melley; Oh, our stout, stubborn kith Kimberley, Ladysmith, Mafeking, wedded with Lucknow and Delhi, Isn’t that fine? But why did the poet dive down into his inner consciousness and fish out the word ‘‘melley’’ when he wanted a rhyme for Delhi. If he had stopped a moment to think of his own bodily anatomy he would have found a rhyme just as good as “melley’’ with much more meaning. What does “meliey’’ mean anyhow? . Again, in that connubial arrangement there is an unequal distribution of partners. Either one is left over, or two divide three between them. How can that be with the British ma- tron looking on? Oh, Mr. Austin! = = * ‘ ="... oe. — There be families imbued with the newest ideas, in which mother and father assume or try to assume equal authority. joes works pretty well week days while papa is at the office or factory. Kut on Sundays the amphiarchate causes some trouble. Mamma wants to go to church and desires certain members of the family to go with her. Papa is tired and does not care to go. And the eldest boy. rather thinks he would like to go to a game of baseball or shoot a few frogs. The matriarchal parent objects, but the patriarchal side of the home govern- ment does not back up the objection with sufficient sternness, and the amphiarchate comes to grief. If Mrs. Stanton can point out how the amphiarchate can be _ to work well on Sundays, it will be hailed as the coming order. ~~ If the World’s Fair is defeated the responsibility will rest upon Speaker Henderson. The project is almost unanimously supported and there is no doubt of the passage of the bill if it is allowed te come to a vote.’ In and out of the House. in all parts of the country and among all classes of citizens there is a strong demand for this, the only célebration of the Louisiana Purchase Centennial worthy that great event. Against this general demand Mr. Henderson has set his face. The public man who pits his own will and judgment against a nation full of people, is riding for a fall. The Republican writers are a little groggy, just now, but they will, perhaps, do better later on in the campaign. The leading editorial writer of the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph has an article on the probability of the nomination of a genu- Ine Democratic presidential ticket at St. Louis. It ought to be known even in Pittsburg that the Democratic National Convention ig to be held in Kansas City. In nine years Mexico has doubled its revenues, doubled its exports, doubled the number of its factories and multiplied by three its banking capital. It is believed that this pros- perity is permanent. As Mr. McKinley’s term did not begin until 1897 it cannot be shown that this Mexican prosperity is an overflow of the McKinley article. In order to show that the thieves we sent to Cuba are not bad men, Senatcr Spooner will prepare a list of defalcations by Democratic officials at different times in various States. This profound statesmanship will certainly be noted by the country, and it will be especially applauded by Neely and the Cuban gang. = = i Joseph Chamberlain pretends to see in the war on the Boers_ the same spirit that animated the United States in the Span- ish war.

There is still a table of distances between the St. Louis walker and his table. In a strike-time four-mile walk a man may perspire as much as if he were climbing a steeple. No resolution of sympathy has appeared in the National Congress of Mothers for that Rhode Island father of 41 chil- dren. Young Yates is a total abstainer and will have to depend upon his friends to take care of the thirsty voters across the river. Is papa so much busier than mamma that we cannot have a National Fathers’ Congress as well as a National Congress of Mothers? The father and brother-in-law of a Georgia young woman had to be shot dead before she could marry the man she loved, and “all parties are now reconciled.” There would be many more marriages in Georgia and other States if the fam- ilies of the bride and groom could be so readily disposed of as were this father and brother-in-law. The scheme is, how- The Indiana Board of Arbitration Commissioners has set- tled 150 strikes.

By devoting her dramatic talent to the production of clean, wholesome plays, Maude Adams has acquired a competence. She has just bought a home costing $35,000, in a fashionable part of New York City, within a stone’s throw of Fifth ave- nue. She will be.able to lead a comfortable, independent life when she chooses to settle down and enjoy the reward of her industry. This should be a sufficient answer to those actresses and managers who attempt to excuse the immoral play on the ground of financial need. As everyone knows, it is not the only instance of the kind. There have been many more ac- tors and actrestes who have made money from wholesome plays than from unclean productions. If every evil play were taken from the boards, not a voice would be raised in protest. There is no real public demand for such plays. Their production is an unwarranted tempta- tion, which brings out a show of public support from a class which would not dare to demand such plays if actors and managers were not eager to produce them. The last excuse for doing so is removed when it is proved that the clean, wholesome play is the best money maker for all concerned. Thirty new locomotives for the Missouri Pacific indicate a good deal of railway prosperity in the West. = = — aa SHIFT THE ACCENT. At the Des Moines Congress of Mothers Mrs. B. M.

All that educators seem to think of is how to teach the boy to get on, to get on, always to get on; which being interpreted is, to live by his wits with- out reference to his fellow men. Heart culture is, indeed, the main thing. Teach the boy to be human. Teach him that he must humanize, socialize him- self before he can call himself a true individual, It is time to inculcate selflessness. Selfishness is, in all sorts of disguises becoming the rule of life.

On the strength of these promises many men sent in their $1 for license, got out their old wheels and were enjoying the novel sensation of actually getting something for their dollar. But within the past week, just when more people are using their wheels than ever before, on account of the strike, the sprinkling carts have made thelr appearance again.

A British artillery officer who was in the siege of Ladysmith, in one of his let- ters home has explained how the Boer gun- ners came to cover so wide a range. “Since Dec. 15 we have constantly hed our own 16-pounders in action against us. The ene- my, with their sublime indifference to the consequences, appear to get as great a range out of them as they do from their own field guns. Doubtless they dig a trench for the trail and use the weapon as a How- itzer. They have sent dozens of missiles made at the Royal (Laboratory, and marked with the broad arrow, into the town from em stationed over 6000 yards away. They ave also used their own shells in the guns captured from us. Now that we have dis- covered that the Boer artillerist does not bind himself during siege operations to the sighting of his weapons, but trusts to get- ting ar extreme range out of them by ele- vating the muzzle and sinking the trail, a valuab'te sidelight is thrown upon the or- iginal *'mpression that the enemy were - sessed of weapons of wonderful range. With the aJ@ of an extra driving charge, under Boer manipulation most guns would in- crease ‘n range above the expectations of the m*#nufacturers, who had intended the weupons to be accurate and sighted them accord’ngly.”’—Collier’s Weekly.

JAMES F. BRENNAN. — — —_———— eee Betrayed. OW this expedition failed, and how ‘‘Pete’ knocked Benares down and H enabled Detective Titus to arrest him the reader has seen in the preceding chap- ter. Meanwhile Duffield, who ‘had retired to the subterranean refuge, was waiting im- patiently for tidings of the death of the two “‘squealers.’’ It was almost midnight and still no news. Suddenly he heard a scratching sound on the wall, It was the countersign. Duffield opened the door. He found himself confronted by @ man whem he had never seen in his life. : After the discovery of Duffield’s escape from the hotel, Titus, the detective, hur- ried back to police headquarters, and ain began questioning “Pete’ Carson, who ad been locked up on general principles. “What are Duffieid’s haunts?’ he asked. “What d’ye mean?” queried Pete. ‘Where does he hang out?” “Oh, he’s a swell mug. He hobnobs it with the high-toned set. I guess you'll find him at some banquet with Chauncey Depew, or maybe at the Millionaires’ Club. We used to have a regular meeting piace on Delancey street. But the captain and the other fly mug, Woodford, don’t get around there very often nowadays. The name of the feller that keeps the place is Meyer. He’s a smug- faced hippercrit, as they calls it, He'll laugh and ibe as jolly as a baby while cuttin’ a man’s throat. He pertends ter be a goody- goody; but I got onto him in two blinks of a caif's eye. An’ his wife is a lalla, She'd make the devil grow red in the face fer envy at bein’ outdevilled, although she makes people believe she’s a sort of angel because she’s liberal with her tenants. But that’s policy.” Before acting upon “Pete's” information Titus gave Lamy another chance to confess. The bo was now seriously alarmed. The infallible correctness of everything the detective had told him filled him with amazement and fear. He had not ’s” arrest and confession, and consequentiy regarded the detective's discovery of al] the details of the Carle- ton murder as next to miraculous. “Well, I'll tell you what it is, Mr. De- tective, I don’t see what I can give up to you that you don’t already know.” ‘Tell me about Meyer's meeting place.’’ ‘‘Well, that’s eo; I don’t think you know all about that. If I put you onto all there is about it, will you let me go free?’ “No; I can not promise that. But I'll try to arrange it so that you will be let off easy. And if you heip us capture Durf- field I'm authorized to promise you a full discharge.’ “All right, then, Here’s goes. Duffield treated me Hike a dog, and [I be a blamed fool to try to protect him. He promised to give me a iot of money to- morrow night, but it doesn’t look now as if I'd get it. Well, about that meeting place at Meyers’ there’s this thing to be said: It ain’t what it seems to be. You go up into a room—the kitchen. Then you go in- to another room—the parior.

There’s a hiding place built under the cellar. You get to it by going to the end of the stairs and turning to the left in a narrow passage. This pas- sage leads to another secret stairway On the other side of the house. You stop in the passage, half way between the two stairs and make the same scratching sound on the left hand wall. There's a door there, and I'll bet my life against any old plug’s that that door will open and you'll ee your man Duffield on the other side of it.” ‘What makes you think s0?” “I know he had a big vault to hide in whenever there was any danger. As long as you say he skipped from the hotel i guess he must believe there’s danger now. and so it’s natural to suppose he’s stowed away in his den.”’ “If he can get into the vault, why can’t another get in without making the sign?” asked the detective. ‘*‘Because, when he’s inside I suppose he’s smart enough to bolt the door. There are three big bolts that fasten it. When these bolts are drawn the door can be op- ened from the outside by pulling a nail that is in the floor three feet to the right of the door.”’ ‘Now, tell me: does Pete Carson know anything about these secret stairs and the vault?’’ “What makes you ask about ‘Pete?’ He isn’t nabbed, is he?” “Well, there isn’t exactly any regular charge made against him, but we took him in anyway just for the sake of having him on hand.”’ ” “Well, I'm pretty sure ‘Pete’ doesn’t know a thing about the stairs and still less about vault. It’s only the big guns of the that know anything about those one of the big uns? “No, thank God! Never got as far as that. I suppose I would in time have be- come a cord siinger if you wouldn't have arrested me.” “Well, then, how did you discover these secret passages and things?” “Don’t ask me. I don‘t like to tell.” “You might as well. It will be better for you to own up to everything.” ‘There’s a woman in it.” “A woman? Who?” “Meyers’ wife. Now please don’t ask me any more.”’ “Bhe told you about the stairs?’ ‘Yes: and took me through the whole place. She'd have been as dead as a door nail if her husband or any other fellow in the gang had caught on.’ Titus did nat allow the grass to grow be- neath his feet. With a half dozen picked men he hurried to the mysterious elancey street house and forced an entrance into the Mever flat. Mrs. Meyers was packing a trunk when the seven men trooped into the room. Before she had time to realize what was happening she was bound to a chair and gagged and a guard placed beside her with a drawn revolver. “Now for the trap door,” said Titus, going to the southwest corner and measuring off six feet from the floor. He found several nails and pulled each one in turn. The third one yielded and with a scarcely pores tible click, a smal! door opened at the other end of the wall. wo men were left to guard the flat while Titus and the other four descended the Stairs. One man was left at the twentieth step to stand sentinel at “Scrapps’” door. The othera continued on their way down until they got to the passageway. At the spot which was midway between the stairs they had just quit and the other Stairs at the opposite end of the passaue they halted.

Ah, there is such a pleasure In lying 'round at ease, I think I'll leave my happy home And dwell beneath the trees!

A breeze is all they sigh for, And while they calmly sit, ‘Most any kind of foolish talk Can make a rousing hit. The summer garden seasqn Again is on the mat, With juleps twenty cents apiece, And very thin at that.

The Brooklyn Handicap is a race for 3- year-olds and upwards at mile and a TRADE-MARK, one guarter. It was won last year by Mr. Clark's good horse Banuastar, ridden by Maher.

Jean Beraud, who, in ‘his 38-year-old form, went undefeated, and who will carry Mr. Whitney's colors, comes next in favor to Kithelbert, 6 to 1 being offered against his chances. When Beraud was in training at the Churchill Downs course this spring it was said that his underpinning was bad. and that he would never again amount to much. Just how much truth there was in this statement will be proven when Beraud starts in the Brooklyn on Saturday. H. J. Grothe’s Lord Bsterling cok, The Monk, cantered home in the fourth race at the Fair Grounds Friday. He and Skillman ran the first three- quarters of a mile head and head. Then the latter stopped and it was only by a hard drive that he finished second a neck in front of Go-to-Bed. The Monk will give the best horses in the West a run and should-prove a good thing for the talent to follow. J. C, Cahn’s filly, South Breeze, although beaten Friday, nished a go second, South Breeze has started twice at the lo- cal track and both times has run the best race of her field. The poor riding she has received has lost two races for Cahn. Small Jack, one of the Harlem brothers’ string, won the race from South Breeze. The for- mer was away in front. Fred Hessig, the favorite, was made too much of at the post and finished third, under a drive. Vici Vance captured the fifth event from Hi-Noc-Ker and Bertha Nell. Vance was the best as the race was run. Bertha Nell showed lots of speed the first part of the race, but tired badly in the end. Neck- lace was off badly, and never was a con- tender. Eleven platers made up the first race, with Tom Gilmore the favorite. He was the best of a very poor lot, and won easily rom Ruby Reilly and Miss Loretta. Dom- nick’s good ride on the winner was in a @reat way responsible for the victory. The Sprite, a Frisco mare, carried the talent’g money in the second race and ran “away from her field. As good as 9 to 5 was laid against her and the wise ones who ; have seen her work, played her heavily. Glen | Lake was second and Baffled, third.

No lad should go into training prior to that age, because of the probability of straining undevelaped muscles and tendons. Although there are individual exceptions to all ruies, the lad who accepts the follow- ing suggestions may be sure that he is working in the right direction. THE SPRINT. The short and long dashes, 1. e., the 100 and 220 yards, require a greater care.and nicer mastery of “farm” than any other event in track athletics. First of all things, immediately discard that old saying, “Breathe through yous nostrils."”” Open your mouth wide, breathe through it and see how much your “wind” will ‘‘lengthen.’’ The time it takes you to start from the mark is the time it takes your brain to recagnize the sound of the pistol and flash its message to the muscles of your legs. As your brain gets more accustomed to this signaling, the time will be shortened. Thus it follows that continual practice will con- stantly diminish this time. For the sprints, the ‘‘crouching” style must be adopted. Place your hands, with tne fingers extended laterally ta increase the spring, upon the starting line. Place the starting foot (usually the left) about five inches back of the line with the right knee resting on the ground opposite the left in- step. At the words, ‘“‘Get set,”’ look straight forward down the track and raise the right knee gradually. You will thus be in motion forward and can get off with the pistol. During the first two strides the head and shoulders should be coming up. At the third step the runner should be in an erect position;in full stride with the body bent very slightly forward and the chin well out. Swing the arms across the body rather than with it. Make the stride natural. We- fers has a nine-foot stride, but this is ex- ceptional, and accords with his height. Strike on the balls of your feet and lift your knees high. Run as if there were a taut string between your feet and do not let either of them ever cross It. et. week’s program should he as fol- ows: Monday—Start 10 times, running five strides at each start—jog a quarter. nae ra a furlong; rest; jog a quar- a Wednesday—Run 5 yards at speed ; rest; run 60 yards at spe Thursday—Start 10 times as before. wa a quarter; rest; speed for & rn 8. HOW TO SPRINT AND RUN. —+04—--—---- Atkin, Trainer for Smith Gives Post-Dispatch Readers a Lesson in This Branch of Athletics. Academy, Saturday—Run your distance on trial; rest; jog a furlong. Wines® resting, stay outdoors if the Weather is suitable, but wear a dressing gown or blanket. This work is sufficient. Do not exceed dt. Never start by word of mouth, If a pis- tol ds not available get some one to start you by clapping the hands. Never stop myers but slow up by de- creasing the length of your stride. Run your last trial four days before 4 contest and lay off entirely on the day be- fore it. ; MIDDLE DISTANCES. In training for the middle distances, the quarter and thalf mile runs, the work should be started with cross country work, Begin your track work fully six weeks be- fore the prospective meet. Go into your work gradually and when settled in train- ing do a longer and a shorter distance than your speviaity, on alternate days. Do a furlong at speed twice a week and run a trial every nine days. If your eyes and mouth become drawn or if you are uncer your weight, lay off for two days. If you are then still ‘‘tired,’’ you are overtrained, Break training for a week. To be a crack middle distance runner you must make yourself an expert judge of pace. This is as invaluable to you as to a jockey. To attain perfection in this have some one hold a watch on you at all trials. The start is optional. Such men as Burke, Boardman, Kilpatrick and Hollister use a standing start. Learn to distribute your speed at points in the race where it will tell, and above all learn where to start your sprint for the final run in the stretch. Many a man has been caught at the tape because he was “all out’’ from too pro- tracted a spurt. Even if you are hopelessly beaten run the race out have known ‘“Mike’’ Murphy, the noted Yale and Pennsylvania College trainer, to condemn a man as “sandless”’ who quit as soon as the first three men had finished. Beware of the man who starts out at sprint speed in running the half. Stay at the head of the bunch, but don’t go out after that man. He is either a decoy or a world-beater or he doesn’t know his bus'- ness. He will probably ‘‘die in the stretch” and you won’t be laughed at. In running any race never look back and in training never handle hearvy weights. Do not wear tight running pants, but allow your knees perfect freedom. Your running shoes should fit like a glove. “Piper’’ Donovan, the professional, spent over five minutes putting on his shoes be- for he ran 100 yards in the credited time of 9 3-5 seconds, PROGRAM OF EVENTS ON HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS.

St. Louis secured their only run in the opening essay. McGraw singled past third, Domevan and Doniin were presented with their base by Twirler Bernhard. Burkett hit bartd to Delehanty, who threw Mc- Graw out at the plate, but Donovan came home on Wallace’s long drive to Slagle. MoGann ended the inning by forcing Bur- kett at second on his hit to Cross. But one man on each side passed first base after this inning until the sixth, Criger for St. Louis in the second, on a double to left, and McFarland for the Phillies, on.a triple to the same territory. It was in the sixth inning the Phillies won the game, not by their ability to hit Jones, but through two errors and an ac- cident. Thomas was the first man up and he hit a sizzler to MeGraw, which Johnny failed to stop, the ball being too hot to handle. Glagle was next and he tried to bunt, but the ball popped about six feet in front of the plate. MoGr&w ran in on it and reached the sphere as it hit the ground, but fumbled it, and both runners were safe. Delehanty was the next man up, and he advanced his teammates a base with a neat sacrifice to McGann. WLajole, the ter- rible, then came to the bat, and every fan in the park groaned audibly. Jones, how- ever, Was as cool as the proverbial cucum- ber. He put on a Httle extra speed, sent the ball over the plate, and the _ best “Frenchy” could do was to hit a bounder to Keister. Billy laced the dail to Mc- Graw to catch Slagle, who was running to third. The ball and the Phillies’ diminu- tive leftfielder came at “Muggsy” at one and the same time, the sphere on a dead line and Slagle sliding feet first. McGraw stopped Slagle, the latter’s spikes sinking into Johnny’s left foot, knocking him down and for a moment out, and as a conse- quence went past him. McGraw tried to get up, but couldn't, and before Wallace could reach the ball, which rolled tg the bleachers, the three runners had slored, The game was delayed for ten minutes on account of McGraw’s injury, and then resumed, the plucky little captain finishing the inning in his, position. He retired in favor of Dillard in the seventh, Neither side scored after that, though St. Louis made a brave attempt in the ninth. Donlin singled, and Burkett bynted after Donovan had died at first, but Lajoie spoiled their chances by making a ood catch of. Wallace’s hot line drive, Ww ich looked good for two bases, and doubling Donlin at second. Globes vs. Quincy, Tl. The Globes will leave Sunday morning over the Wabash for Quincy, Ill, where they meet the strong Quincy team. Man- ager Bartley has got together one of the strongest semi-professional baseball teams in the city, and will no doubt give the Quincy team one of the hardest game§ ever played in that town. The following play- ers will be taken on the trip: Reed c, Swacina 1b, Flood, 2b, Wilcox ss, Murray 8b, Bernero lf (captain), Rilley cf, Tighe rf, McDermott p, Crowley subpitcher and Lambs pitcher. Teams wishing games with the Globes, address Charles J. Bart- ley, in care of Globe Shoe and Clothing Co., Seventh and Franklin avenue. Gossip of the Game. It will be Philadelphia again Saturday afternoon at League Park. Young and ahue will be the opposing twirlers. Criger continued his batting streak Fri- day, securing a double out of three times up. Manager Welch of the new Park Theater at Grand avenue and Hebert street, which opens this Saturday evening, has sent an in- vitation to the members of the St. Louis and Philadelphia clubs io attend the open- ing. President Robison on Friday afternoon ‘farmed’ Pitcher Charles Knepper to the Minneapolis Club of the American_ League. Knepper pitched good bali for the Cleveland Exiles last season, but he has not been in condition to twirl so far this year. He is a big fellow, bigger than either Cy Young or Thomas, and will be a great addition to the Minneapolis club. Tebeau has a string to him and will bring him back to St, Louis if necessary. McGraw will probably not play in Satur- day’s game. The nail on the big toe of his left foot was very nearly torn off as @ result of his collision with Slagle’s spikes. A physician who was called aft:r McGraw went to the clubhouse, said the injury was not of a serious nature, but advised the captain not to play until Monday. —— Jcnes is pitching better Dall than any twirler in the Leaguc. With an even brea of luck and perfect support Friday’s game would have been his third consecu- tive shutout. Bert showed his good sense by going back to his Colorado home last season when he was sick and out of condi- tion. Jack O’Connor has not yet reported to the Pittsburg Club, who purchased his re- license from President Robison early this week, and as a consequence President Drey- fuss and Manager Fred Clark of the Smoky City team are losing sleep nights watch- ing the incoming trains. Jack was in St. Louis Friday, and it ts rumoured that he ts dabbling in politics. He will probably join the Pirates in Cincinnati Sunday. College Sports. The stuents of the Manual Training School will hold their annual field meet at Pastime Park Saturday afternoon. The events are all well filled and some good sport is anticipated. The bicycle events ehould be especially fast, as there are some crack riders entered. The program will be started at 2:30. The Smith Aootomy baseball team will Play the Western Military Academy team on the latter’s grounde at Alton agpenSpe f afternoon. The game is a regularly sched- uled Interscholastic League game a a large crowd of rooters will journey to Al- ton with the Smith team. Adams and Clark will be the opposing twirlers. A meeting of the Interscholastic League was held iday afternoon. But three congo, Smith Academy, High School and St. Louls University, were represented, and as a consequence the greater part of the business to be transacted was laid over until the next meeting.

Everything went dead wrong the last two or three years, and the folks who held a mortgage on’ my place Gnally gave me just two weeks in which to raise the cash or they would foreciose. “My family consists of my wife aod myself and two little girls, 12 and 4 years olf.

LIGHTED MATCH STARTED IT. ‘No One Knows What Exploded, but / the Building Was Wrecked and the Men Injured. A mysterious explosion, which totally de- mnolished a smal] brick building in the rear of 917 Salisbury street and blew two men through the crumbling brick wall and se- verely injured them, ocurred about 10:20 o'clock Friday night. Fred Closson, 28 years old, who boarded with Mrs. Helbig. owner of the premises, went into the building and as it was very dark inside, the struck a. match. When he threw down the match, there was a ter- rific explosion. Closson found himself lying out in the yard, with a scalp wound in the back of his head and a painful contusion of the right knee. Bricks and other debris were piled all about him. He had been blown through the air. Lying in another part of the yard was Lee Brannon, aged 26, an engineer, who re- sided at 919 Salisbury street. Brannon, un- known to Closson, had been in another part of the same building and had been blown out by the force of the explosion. His meck and right wrist were badly burned. Dr. Ghio dressed the wounds of the men at the North End Dispensary. Neither vic- tim can explain the explosion. CITY NEWS.

RULES AGAINST THE THEATERS ‘Judge Sidener, in a Test Vase, Holds That They Must Be Equipped With Automatic Sprinklers. Judge George B. Sidener handed down his @ecision in the case against James J. But- ler, proprietor of the Standard Theater, Saturday morning, fining him $50 and costs on the charge of maintaining a theater without having it properly equipped with automatic fire extinguishers. An appeal is expected. Several months ago auits were brought against all of the various theatrical] man- agers in the city, making the same charges. W. A. Swasey of the Odeon was _ aiso charged with giving a performance without a license. A stipulation was made and en- tered into whereby all agreéd to abide by the court’s decision in this case. Mr. But- ler had the right to carry his case to the highest court, and final] decision is binding on all of the parties against whom suits were brought THE MUTUAL LIFE Insurance Company’s Petition Favor- ably Acted Upon. WASHINGTON, May 2%.—The congres- gional committee on interstate and foreign commerce unanimously voted to report in favor of the government taking action on the petition of the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York, asking for redress from the Prussian Government for its expulsion without good cause from the empire. The committee was much impressed with the hearing Dy the remarks of Richard Mc- (urdy, president of the company, and by the clear statement of its counsel, Benja- . Tracy. The committee recommend- » following resolutions: Resolved, by the Senate and the House, That the secretary of state be and is here- by requested to take all steps which may be necessary and proper to vbtain from the government of the Kingdom of Prussia a revocation of the order of Aug. 14, 1895, by which the privilege of transacting busi- ness in that kingdom was withdrawn from the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York. It is consideved certain that the resolution will pass the House, the feeling of memibers against the recent action of the Prussian authorities in the treatment of American raerchants being particularly strong.
