The assault upon the hospital fund has been repelled and for a time at least the money is safe. In rejecting the Hodges Dill the Council has acted wisely and with good business sense. The hospital fund should be held sacred. It should not be invaded except upon compelling occasion and it is needless to say that in the view of most impartial observers that occasion has not arrived. Now, let every effort be made to stop the leaks in the de- . partments, most of which are loaded down with supernumer- ary employes, to say nothing of stuffed payrolls and wasteful contracts. This is the sensible, honest course. When all but legitimate expenses are cut off the revenues will probably be found ample for the city’s needs. Not till their inadequacy is ascer- tained should any other course be tolerated. , —_—_—_—__—_—_- © © @—— —— Can’t Mr. McKinley get a little time to work up some pros- perity for Cape Nome? -— — * i A PORCH CAMPAIGN McKinley started the perch campaign idea, which has evidently become a permanent feature in American politics. A presidential candidate on his own front porch, receiving delegations and speaking to the assembled multitudes ex eathedra as it were is s0mething too picturesque to remain unexploited by political leaders. It appeals to the imagina- tion. It is a valuable invention. Above all, it is American. Other nations have porches and stoops and piazzas, but in what country do candidates for the highest political honors meet the people in this homely and attractive fashion as man meets man or neighbor meets neighbor? It has been suggested that the porch campaign will de- generate hy the introduction of the traveling porch and per- ambulating stoop. Perish the thought. We may be theat- rical, but we don’t carry out quite all the imaginings of the funny man. Our porches are to be genuine, without even @ trapdoor behind the candidate's chair for the concealment of the campaign manager. oo The Boxers are not taking vacations at their country homes nor preparing campaign speeches. a ie se — a M'CANN’S MARTYRDOM. Mr. John J. MeCann goes to the Workhouse because he will not pay for the rights which, he believes, are divinely granted to all men and which, he claims, are guaranteed by the con- stitution of his country. To tax the right to earn one’s bread is, on the face of it, in need of the most convincing justification. But to tax that right and at the same time let monopoly privilege go free is grotesque and immoral. It is against this injustice which he finds in the law that Mr. McCann protests. He refuses to submit to what he conceives to be an injustice and thereby become an accomplice in wrong. John J. McCann may be derided as a foollsh fellow, a crack-brained idealist without practical sense. It may be he is. But the sume has been said of men whose names are Written high among the benefactors of mankind. Men who dedicate their lives to disinterested work are not commonly held in high estimation by their contemporaries, But the world is better for their presence in it. The seed of McCann's self-sacrifice may yet sprout and grow and bear good fruit. a The Sultan of Sulu is not yet fully assimilated. He ob- jects to the punishment of those of his subjects who have murdered American ‘soldiers. Possibly his indignation is merely a play for an increase of the salary we are paying him to be good. i, LL» — a a AN UNHAPPY CELESTIAL. Mr. Wu Ting Fang, envoy of the Son of Heaven at Wash- ington, is very unhappy these days. Mr. Wu is not only a very superior Chinese gentleman, but @ very superior man. He is master of the culture of his own race and well versed in the civilization of the West. Mr. Wu does not represent the China of tradition. He Is liberal, progressive and open-minded. Cosmopolitan and culti- vated, he takes a broad view of public questions. But, of course, he is a patriotic Chinese and means to stand up for his own country. He knows the English language well, and is familiar with Western institutions. It is said that his knowledge of En- glish and American law is quite equal to that of many emil- Rent practitioners in this country and in England. Mr. Wu owes his appointment and promotion to Li Hung Chang, who early discovered his genius and brought him into the service of the State. @ — > > ae - aod There is a great deal of windy talk In connection with the Chinese war. A ferocious Iowa Congressman wants to see the Yang-Tse-Kiang River dammed with Chinese bodies. The war will be made sufficiently horrible without the suggestions of such deadly patriots. oe A MAN-MADE STATE CONSTITUTION. Ottumwa, Io, was offered a public Nbrary worth $50,000 by ‘ Andrew Carnegie, provided the city should vote $5000 an- nual appropriation for its support. The measure carried, ‘but @ minority of citizens who opposed it sued out an in- junction. A judge, male of course, decided that the women who voted for the library had no right to do so, as the _ State Constitution only provided for males voting. S80 much the worse for the Constitution. The ladies of Ottumwa cannot affprd to suffer this defeat. The women of America cannot rest under its stigma. That Constitution will have to be changed. It will be changed. The incident showed two things, namely, that women are in favor of enlightenment, and that man-made constitutions are antiquated and defective. Let the ladies hunt up the State constitutions and have them amended to suit them- selves. It has been found extremely difficult to change these instruments, but that is because the women made no effort to have them changed. These little checks will only hasten the woman's day. The more obstacles thrown in her path, the sooner and more certainly will she arrive. This will be the most serious war since the days of Napoleon, said a high army officer to the Washington corre- spondent of the Post-Dispatch. “An order to go to China is equivalent to a death warrant.”” But nobody suggests a way out. We cannot go forward without danger of losing every soldier sent there. We cannot draw back without confessing cowardice, and what effect would such a confession have upon the Chinese? It would probably embolden them. The only course to pursue is to deal with each emergency as it arises and hope for the best. So far Mr. Hay’s course seems to be generally approved. -— - = —- — “CRIMINAL CARELESSNESS,” A Coroner’s Jury has found the motorman whose car ran over Baby McDermot guilty of criminal carelessness, because it is charged he did not ring his gong nor attempt to stop his car. If the facts were. as stated, the verdict was justified so far as it dealt with the motorman. But in every case where machinery or mechanically moved vehicles are run by an employe, the question of safety ap- pliances is involved. The fender on this car failed to work. Perhaps this motorman, being a comparatively new employe, expected that the fender would push the child off the track. He had no right to neglect all the usual precautions on that account; but on the other hand, he had a right to expect that the fender would prevent the child from being ground beneath the car. If the motorman is guilty of criminal carelessness, is not a street railway company that persists in using a worthless fen- der guilty of criminal negligence? The law wil] hold street railway employes to a strict account for not exercising suf- ficient care. but who will compel the street railway com- panies to adopt life-saving fenders? = = = —_- - = The wind at Chicago on Monday carried a wooden side- walk 100 feet and dropped it upon three persons, one of whom was killed. There should never be wooden sidewalks in any city. When they are not otherwise troublesome they are crippling people and bringing, on sults for damages. = = i ie WILL EAT FISH FOR A MONTH. Trust conditions at Frazer River, B. C., have developed a peculiar and interesting situation. The fish canning com- panies have formed a trust and will not pay the fishermen living prices. The latter have agreed to eat fish for a month, s0 as to “bull’”’ the market and compel the trust to pay the fishermen’s price. Several hundreds of Japanese fishermen have united with the whites to fight the canning trust, prov- ing that the monopoly problem is not one of nationality. This is a very uncomfortable method of trying to put an end to trust dumination. Of all persons, the fisherman is the one who cares least for fish as a steady diet. He would pre- fer fiesh or fowl in every case where he can get it. And it is not a method that could be adopted in most cases. The tobacco grower cannot smoke all his own tobacco, nor the wheat grower consume all his wheat, nor the cattle raiser eat all his beef. Some other way will have to be found to fight the trusts. It is to be hoped that the fishermen will win their fight. If they do so it will be because the fisheries still afford a free opportunity to profit by the bounties of nature. = = = — a. a Happily all the Chinamen in the United States declare themselves to be from that part of China which is friendly to progress and Christianity. There is not an unfriendly Chinaman to be found in the United States. So we shall have no massacres to get even with the Boxers. If Li Hung Chang would stop telling what he is going to do and do it he would inspire more confidence. By the way, is the confusion in the Chinese news due to the presence of so many Lies among the Mandarins? They seem to be great liars. = * -— - - a Gen. Wallace’s talk about the people voting on the acquis!i- tion of territory in future is ridiculous. What chance will the people have with impertalism fully estabished and the bloody and barburous Philippine precedent accepted ? Our exports for the fiscal year just ended are larger than those of any other in our history. We can easily do an enormous bu3iness where trade has not followed the flag, and without the expense of a standing army. The statement that the word “enthuse,’”’ so common in presidential years, is not in the dictionary, is an error. Web- ster has it, but makes it “slang.” It may become more re- spectable a few years later. 2? A The Administration ts expecting a great deal when it is hopeful of the election of a Republican House. Does the country really desire another Congress that can be worked by the trusts? the Royal Cemetery away from civilization is little respecter of The Coreans are to move the trolley lines. Western persons living or dead. The Chicago Christian Scientists who are attempting to control the Chinese Boxers by “absent treatment” are acting very prudently. -_ = ea a No Chinese war can develop a hero for the presidential campaign of 1900, but our 1904 President may come from the Orient. —_——__———_++o- — POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. Mr. McKinley has done a good deal of blowing for hu- manity. The nine William McKinleys in Philadelphia feel that this is a great year. The electric-fan cold requires the same amount of quinine as the old-fashioned affliction. The Boxers had no intention of knocking the President out of his vacation when they began. A Chicago voter demands that the gallows shall follow the flag into China. Li Hung Chang will then be Li Chang Hung. Margaret Sangster writes of a rose that was kissed into bloom by a star. Poetry is forever bidding good night to the truth. There are two imperfect street railway employes. One is the skip-you-once conductor; the other is the touch-you-twice conductor. It is to be hoped the newly organized “Peace Posse” will never have anything more serious to do than to banquet themselves. As Mr. McKinley borrowed his word “scuttle’’ from the British Tories, our relations with Great Britain should be sweeter than ever. The first woman Coroner has just been appointed in Kan- sas. Woman succeeds as an inquirer. This Kansas feminine Coroner will know how to put her questions. She will have more freedom than can be allowed in the investigation of ordinary neighborhood matters. Older persons have had schemes just as impracticable as that of the two 56 and 6 year old tots of St. Louis who started alone to go by rail to their grandmother in Canada.

WEDNESDAY--ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH —JULY 18, 1900. -_ ed W'CRAW AND ROBB, THEY PUT IN ONE DAY AT THEIR HOME IN BALTIMORE. CUPPY HAS FRIENDS HERE. On a Recent Visit They Presented the Great Pitcher With a Silver- Headed Cane. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK July 18.—The St. Iouis base- Dall team enjoyed a day of rest in this city on Tuesday. Manager Tebeau and Secretary Heilbron- mer were at the head of a delegation of the Ppiayers who made a trip to Coney Island fn the afternoon and indulged in an hour’s eport in the surf. Capt. McGraw and his partner in business, Catcher Wilbert Robinson, made a fiying trip to thelr home in Baltimore and will Stay there until Wednesday evening, re- turning in time for the opening game of the series with Manager George Davis’ rejuve- nated Giants on Thursday. Some of the players contented themselves with lolling around the rotunda of the Broadway Central Hotel, where the team is stopping, while a few went over to Brighton Beach to bet on the ponies. Manager Tebeau 1s not at all satisfied with the showing made by the Cardinals at Cincinnati, but says the team will make up for it trom now on, and he expects to take three straight from the Giants. He would not make a prophecy in regard to the bal- ance of the games to be p:ayed on the trip, but said his team would not prove to be the cinch. it was on the last trip east, when three of the best men were out of the game. , The National League magnates and Pres- ident Nic Young would do well to emulate the action of President Ban Johnson of the American League, who on ‘Tuesday ®uspended Norman E)berfield, shortstop of the Detroit club, and placed a fine on Frank Diilon of the same club because otf their rowdy tactics and abusive language in a game at Detroit last Saturday. Their action on the field incited a riot and Um- ire Cantillon had to be escorted to his cates by a squad of police, Who were forced to guard him throughout the night from the angry fans. The next day Owner Burnes of the Detroit club, fearing that Cantillon would be hurt, refused to permit him to umpire and that official then de- ciared the game forfeited to Cleveland, 9 to 0. The game was played, however, with Player McAllister of the Detroit club umpire. Detroit won the game, but it amains to be seen !f President Johnson stand by his umpire, as he should do, allow the declared forfeit to stand. there were a few suspensions dealt out to rowdy players in the National League the incessant rowdism that is now a feat- ure of very nearly every game played in the seo ge organization would soon be a thing of the past. HS re- will and George Cuppy’s superb pitching for Bos- ton against the hard-hitting Phillies was the feature of the games plaved on Tues- day. “Old Nie’ had all his former speed and contral and succeeded in letting Shett- sline’s band down with but four runs and five’ hits. He also cracked out a_ two- bagger and iallied three runs and fieided his position in admirable fashion. In fact, pate was little else to the game but the ek. Cardinals’ great allround playing. Though it is said Cuppy was not treated fairly by the fans of St. Louis he has a host of friends here, some of whom, by the way, presented him with a beautiful solid silver-headed cane while he was in the city with the Beaneaters on their last trip here, and they at least will be glad to hear that their favorite is in his old-time form. Baseball Pickups. Herman Long is undoubtedly playing just as well this year as he ever did in bis career on the dia- mond. Long is a veteran, though he is still a young man. He was playing professional! ball in ISSS8, and perhaps a year or two before that, yet he is as good now as he ever was. The Cincinnati Reds shut out their opponents ib three of the last four games played. Hahn scored two of them. Peitz’ good throwing to bases of late bas been as good as any work of the kind he bas ever done for the Cincinnati team. Manager Davis of New York is a great ball play er, but he has worked without ambition. Perhaps in his new role he can make the New Yorks piay ball. Ewing found that an impossible task. ‘*Burkett is rapidly slipping into the fashion-plate stakes,’’ says a Cincinnati scribe. ‘*The Cardinals’ chief kicker made his appearance in a pair of hose that would have driven Berry Wall to a Kaneipp cure The colors of Jesse's socks were a mixture of fromage de brie, Camembers and sponge cake, perfectly blended.’ “Rube Waddell was suspended from Pittsburg for hurting bis wrist wale trying to curve a brick A few days later he puuctured his neck doing dip flaps in a sc rub game. They sent him to a shop and had it vulcanized,’’ saya Charley Dryden. Too much prosperity bad apparently spoiled Loft- us’ men Saturday, says the Times-Herald. They bad lost their batting eyes, their flelding fingers and their throwing arms, not to mention thelr base- bal! ‘‘tinkers.’’ Bre slump was terrible and unac- countable except by the fact that the payers bave been out of harness perhaps too long. ‘The Cincinnatis may not finish one, two, three or four this year, and again they may, but let me tell you that Allen would not have to make many changes ip his team to make it a factor for the flag,’’ says Tebcau. ‘*] don’t think tbat, as long as I have been in the game, I remember of any club picking up four as good youngsters as the Keds have."’ Manager Tebeau dois .oi count his aggregation out of the race for the pennant by ai good deal. ‘The first half of the season ends with the present series in the West,’ said Pat, ‘‘and there follows three months more of fighting. During that time there may be many changes 1 in the aspect of things.”’ Clubs of the American League this season «ave been peculiarly unfortunate in the matter of in- juries to players. Nearly every one of the or- anizations has suffered in its standing in the aague owing to the necessity of playing crippled wen or substitutes of less playing ability than the men kept out of the Game. The Ohicago team has made more by 80 than any other club, The predilection of the Chicago Club for two-base hits can be un- deratood bv a glance at the West Side Bell Park. Long hits, just inside the foul line, hit the hleach- ers and bound In at a certain angle, holding the fielder just long enough for the runner to take two. On other grounds the same hit might bound on for three or four bases, or might be headed off so that the batter conld make but @ single, so that the sitnation balances up about even in the long run. 118 two-baggers, Peitz has ontworked all the other catchers. Heine hea caught 40 games this season, accepting 259 chances, Criger leade the League, with a percent- age of .969 In 31 games, but bas accepted only 154 chances. The most remarkable fielding pitcher, even though bis name ts nowhere near the top, ts Fdaward Seott of Cincinnat!, who bas accepted 70 chances In 21 games. Callahan has a pretty record, 046 In 17 cameras. with 65 accepted chances. Pow- ell leads the pitchers with .v74.

RUHLIN AND FITZ MEETING. It Will Take Place Before Twentieth Century Club in Madison Square Garden. In the boxing world on Tuesday little was talked of but ihe wonderful victory of Ter- ry McGovern over Frankie Erne. Jack Crooks, the profesgional baseball player, and a great judge of boxing, backed Erne to beat the Brooklyn boy. He was aisappointed and greatly sur- prised at the outcome. Jack said on Tues- day: “McGovern is evidently a pocket edition of Sullivan. They talk about the present band of fighters. In his day Sully would have licked them ail in one ring, and that is the kind of a fighter McGovern is. “He has whipped every one of the little fellows now in the business and has gone out of his class and won there, too. “I was surprised at his wonderful tories over men like White, Dixon and Forbes, but I thought when he met Erne there would come a period to his line of victories. His quick defeat of Erne proves McGovern to be a real wonder, and the greatest man of his weight the world has ever seen.’’ vic- Tom Sharkey is still following on the trail WELL FILLED RACES, -— —— SIX OF THEM ON WEDNESDAY’S FAIR GROUNDS CARD. RUSHFIELD AND SADIE LEVY. They Look Well and So Do Harry Duke, Pinochle, Scoerpolette and Others. Six well-filled races will make up Wednes- day’s racing card at the Fair Grounds. The first is a six furlong event, which will bring out some very fast ones. Of the twelve, Kindred, in with 90 pounds, looks well and should be the selection. In the mud on Monday he led hie fieid the first three-quarters of a six and one-half furlong race, and finished a good third. He has some hartvones to beat, but may turn the trick. Harry Duke will be the dangerous horse, and will probably defeat W. B. Gates for the place. Sadie Levy likes the mud and should win the second event. (Chickamauga and Glii- bert will be the two she will have to beat. Mandamus is in with 8 pounds and may upset all calculations. The latter ran a good race on Monday and is now on edge. Rushfields will be ‘the Post- Dispatch's se- lection in the third race. He ran a good third on Wreadae and wil! probably win to- day. Terra Incognita and Strangest are the two he will have to beat. Banish will run well, Libbie, Lord Neville, Apple Jack is the way of Billy Madden with the express purpose of trying to secure a return mai ch ae his protege. The sailor ts still of the opinion that he is a better man than the Akron) giant and in suport of his opinion has posted | a forfeit of $5000 to stand as a side bet for a) match. Ruhilin says he will accommodate him after his fight with Fitzsimmons. Two great prize fights were arranged for in New York Tuesday. Bob Fitzsimmons and Gus Ruhlin then singed to meet in Madison Square Garden | on Aug? 10 and James J. Corbett and Kid) McCoy were matched to fight before the! Twentieth ‘entury Athletic Club in Madison Square Garden on or about Aug. 25. ‘The full articles of agreement will be mages in| the next day or two. McGovern was around New York Tues- day looking not a bit the worse for wear. Erne, however, presented a sorry appear- ance. His nose was hidden by a big plaster, Which conceals a deep gash he received in the second round. His left eye was discoi- ored, and he appeared more or less bruised allover. He feels his defeat keenly, but has no excuses to offer, and says that he was beaten fairly and that, although McGovern did not win the lightweight championship. he can have it, as he (Erne) intends to leave the ring forever. After receiving his share of the receipts Erne left for Fairhaven, N. where he will spend the summer. It was said Tues- day that the receipts amounted to more than $50,000, and that the fignters divided $2,000, between them.

Root claims the honors for which Ryan has been fighting so hard with titles and an and so Jong, and what enticing purse and a heavy side wager at much to induce these rivaie stake there is to mighty battle. Benny Yanger, the Tipton Slasher, meet Young Mowatt, the ductor,” on thé same night for a purse and a side bet of $250. Mowatt has an im- mense betting following which believes its man can hold his own with, or dispose of, the speedy and hard hitting Italian boy, whose advancement has been one of the wonders of the arena. Kid Abel will meet Kid Rollo, Harry Lombard will try conclu- sions with Young Garfleld and Tommy Lar- kins will take the measure of Dick Fitz- | yatrick. Walter Bloom, that hard hitting ittle man, who hag given a good account of himself in many a ring contest, will try to show Billy Hurley of Hammond, Ind., how to box. The Creedon-Peppers Fight. NEW YORK, July 18—Dan Creedon and Harry Peppers of Ban Francisco were to have fought at the Casino Sporting Club, Broklyn, last night, but the attendance was sO small that the men demanded that a purse be added to the share of the gate re- ceipts. The management refused and the fight was postponed. —_—--_-~o---" NATIONAL LEAGUE. STANDING AT NOON WEDNESDAY. Played. Won.

The argument, repurted to have affected the Waehington Park stewards who established the ban, is that Schreiber has been suffi- eclently punished and that continuance of the ruling would wreck the fortune that he now has invested in the horse business. While these reports are without the con- firmation of the stewards they come from sources which would naturally know inside of any plan to place Schreiber on an operative basis. That the influences work- ing for the turfman are strong is a fact The question of concession on the part of the stewards will be determined within the next few days. One of the points made in Schreiber's be- half is that if there anv wrong in Oakwood handicap, won by Fly by Night. the owner was not a party to it, and was brought under suspician because he has had control of the horse, Schreiber'’s raputation ictly honest turfman and the fact large holdings are encumbered are other features to the case.

At present he is barred from Louis, where the Washington Park order will be strictly enforced unt!l it {s revaked. It is understood that In return for a vin- dication Schreiber has made promises which bind him to drop some former associates and place all his operations above’ the breath of suspicion. The report that the Turf Congress might act in the case of the acceptance of Schreiber’s entries by the Hawthorne track is fncorrect. The ruling is made in sueh a way that the Turf Con- gress has no authority in the matter. and other tracks are not necessarily bound to observe rules of the kind.

'Merchants From the South and South- west, to the Number of 5000, Expected to Take Advan- tage of Cheap Rates. Merchants from all over the West end Southwest will invade St. Louis next week. They will throng the downtown streets and tax the capacity of immense wholesale es- tablishments. The occasion of their visit 'will be one of the annual meetings of out of town merchants under the auspices of the Interstate Merchants’ Assovclation. This will be the first of four meetings to be given before the beginning of the winter Season, Secretary C. A. Singer of the association is enthusiastic over the outlook for a rous- ing meeting this year. He said to the Post-Dispatch: “! believe that these four excursions will attract at least 5000 merchants to it. Louls. They will make purchases averaging $2600 each. I estimate that they will spend be- tween $10,000,000 and $15,000,000. The beauty of it is that many of these merchants would not buy neariy so heavily from traveling salesmen. The salesman is necessarily hampered, as he can carry comparatively few samples. We bring the merch.nts here and give them an opportunity to see the stocks, thus enabling them to make better selections. As an inducement we secure them transportation both ways for one- fifth fare.’’ The first of the excursions begias on July 21 with tickets good to return until Aug. ll. There will be other excussions from Aug. 4 to 25, Aug. 18 to 29 and Sept. 1 to 24. Secretary Singer has sent out theusands of circulars setting forth the conditions cf the meetings and has already received many responses from merchants who intend to come,to St. Louis to make their purchases.

SWEET WORSTED THE SULTAN OF SULU Former St. Louis Recruiting Officer Taught the Oriental Potentate a Neat Trick in Diplomacy. Major Owen J. Sweet of third United States Infantry,who went from the recruiting office in St. Louis to military governorship of the island of Jolo, has proven himself a diplomat as well us a | soldier. From the Philippines comes a story of how the major worsted the Sultan of (Sulu | It appears from | in a diplomatic encounter. the Twenty- | the | dispatches to the Post-Dispatch that there ; has been more or less friction between Sultan of Sulu and the American soldiers Since the latter took charge of the island, the Sultan claiming the presence of troops was unnecessary, and that the islands would be more peaceful without them. The subjects of Sulu, taking their cue from their ruler, looked upon the Ameri- can soldiers as intruders. One day four of the major’s soldiers went twenty miles into the country and were bathing in a stream when three of them wre set upon and murdered by natives. The fourth escaped naked and made way, after many hardships, to Jolo. The comrades of the murdered men highly incensed and immediately upon an expedition for the capture of the murderers. Information by natives led to the arrest of ten men and their guilt established. They were put to work on the roads; but they satenel and at the first opportunity attempted to escape. Their guards shot them all dead.

HE DID NOT INTEND SUICIDE Harry Warrington’s Friends Believe His Death Was the Result of an Accident. Harry Warrington, a well-known 8t. Louis manufacturers’ agent, died in Quincy, Ill., Tuesday from the effects of an overdose DRUNKENNESS IS PREVALENT. Archbishop Kain and Father Phelan | Attend the Exposition, but Re- turn to Rome in Three Weeks. Archbishop John J. Kain, Father David 8. Phelan, editor of the Western Watch- man, and several other priests of the St. Louis diocese, are at the Paris Exposition. His grace expects to remain in the French about three weeks, when he will It is now announced that he Louis until laie in capital go to Reme. will not return to St. the fall. Paris is by no means an ideal city from the view point of Father Phelan. In a letter just received he draws a vivid pic- ture of Paris’ wickedness, but says it is due to the fact that “Gay Paree’’ is the mecca for the bloods of the whole world. “Because,” he adds, “Paris has had the most money offered by foreign panderers she had had an enormous supply of vice commensurate with the demand, but vice is in the quarter where foreigners love to congregate, around the cpera, and in the quarier where “on se amuse.’’ ‘The rest of Paris is clean; remarkably, exceptionally clean. Anvothner thing will surprise they. The notion prevails that France, being a wine-drinking country, drunkenness is not known. Paris is full of heavy dripkers and has more drunkards thin any city In the world. I have been simply appalled at the prevalence of tris vice in the Frenen capital. Five-sixths of the people snow the effects of excessive wine drinking. The women especially have their complextk ns ruined by wine. They have the faces of topers.. At the hotel at which I stop, and it is the case in all the hotels tn the aris- tocratic Frenda quarier, wine 's served at all meala without extra charge. Every wean at this hotel dmnks a wine a day, and many & quart and inis every day. The wcerkingmen do rink and eat. OY erhey begin to work at 6—early enougn. At 7:30 they stop for lunch, which consists of a piece of bread and a pint bottie o wine. At 10 there is another lunch of the sume kind. From 12 to 1:30 they have their dejuener which they take in a restaurunt and is quite an affair. At 3:30 there is another intermission and more wine. At 6 they retire to the restaurant and drink absinihe or eau de vie until they ar rr ar ing drunk. ‘The vast majority of the day laborers of Paris eat and drink al] they earn. They never get married and have as a wardrobe nothing beyond a trousers and a shirt. They are ten times more degraded than the worst class of ou! railroad and public works laborers. Not only is drunken- ness everywhere in Paris, but crimes of the most shocking description resulting from drunkenness are of nightiy occurrence— murders where helpless women and inno- cent wayfarers are the victims. Over here they do not confound drunkenness with stimulation; but it is hard to trace the line. This will explain the fact that a great many ‘atholics of Paris are not practical.

Denies That There Is Friction Over Failure of the Band to Accompany the Regiment to Springfield. The failure of the First Regiment Band to appear with the First Regiment at the an- nual state encampment ‘In Springfield, Mo., has aroused a deal of comment in military circles. It was stated at Springfleld that the officers of the regiment were displeased with the action-of the musicians and it was hinted that the members would be called to account. Prof. Charles G. Seymour, who Is head of the band organization of the Regiment, stated to the Post-Dispatch Tues- day that Col. Sinclair and the other officers of the First Regiment were fully aware ot the reasons that led the band not to fur- nish music at Springfield. ‘‘As members of the Musicians’ Mutual Benefit Association,” said Bandmagster Seymour, ‘‘we are not allowed to play with- aut compensation. It was because the state had provided no money for our services that we did not accompany the regiment. “When the reorganization of the First Regiment took place a yvear ago I accepted the leadership of the band with the distinct understanding that our serves would be paid foc in accordance with the scale made by the musicians’ organization with which all of the members are identified. “About two months ago I spoke to Col. Sinclair about the band going ta Springfield and he wrote to Adjutant Bell for funds. The request was denied and it was then agreed that we would not go with the reg- iment. There was no friction of any kind at that time nor Is there any now.” MH. KELLEY'S REALISTIC JUMP Dreamed the Hotel Was Afire and Jumped Through a Jewelry Store Skylight. Charles Kelley of 2341 Menard atreet dreamed Tuesday night that the Hotel Barnum was on fire. As he happened to be sleeping in the hotel, he jumped out of bed and leaped from a fourth-floor window. By snapping a couple of electric wires in his descent and striking a glass roof which he Shattered, Kelley became convinced that it was alla dream. There was no real fire, but the leap to safety was realistic enough for anybody. Kelley was very tired when he went to bed, about midnight, he says, and he retired without removing his trousers and stock- ings. Scarcely an hour passed when in his deep slumber he felt the walls of the Hotel sarnum growing hot, saw flerce tongues of flame licking up great gobs of brick and mortar, and heard a warning voice cry: ‘Slide, Kelley, slide!’ Kelley slid, as stated. The two wires which he cut in his descent served to break his fall and turn him right side up with care, so that he landed squarely on both feet, cat fashion. The glass roof was ove! a jewelry store. The sheet of thick glass on which Kelley landed was shattered, and Kelley went down to his armpits through the hole. His arms gaved him from falling through into a case of South Africa dia- monds. Kelley extricated himself from the glass hole he had cut and climbed in at a sec- ond-story window. The night clerk heard the fall and sent a buttons up to investigate. Buttons found Kelley taking a nocturnal constitutional up and down the hall, clad in a series of strips that used to be trousers and a tattered re- semblance to a pair of socks. The boy shot downstairs and told ttre clerk that a crazy man was abroad. The clerk met Kelley coming downstairs to re- aort. “That was quite a slide I took,’’ remarked Kelley. “Oh, no; I'm not crazy, though my pants may !ook like a crazy qullt.’”’ Then Kelley explained his predicament. The two ‘nen placed a plank over the hole in the roof to keep out the rain that was falling. Kelley's room door was locked in- side and the boy crawled through the tran- som and opened it. Kelley pulled his bed away from the window as far as possible THO PRETTY WEDDINGS Miss Lillian Chestnut to Alfred H. Annan and Miss Ruth Wicker- sham to Chas. C. Landeryou.
