TUSCOLA, IIL, July 28.—A fatal occurred at Camargo, six miles east of here, yesterday evening. The afternoon passenger train going east collided with the passenger coming west on the Indian- apolis, Decatur & Western Railroad. The train coming up had sided on the track at Camargo and was waiting for the east- bound train. G. B. Allen, brakeman on the west-bound passenger train, was left to close the switch, which he failed to do, and the train coming from the west at a terrific rate of speed went in on the siding and collided with the other train. The sound of the collision was heard for miles around. It completely demolished both engines and the baggage and mail cars. The engineer, John Schindorf, made a leap of almost 30 feet, but his feet became en- tangled in some manner and he fell on his face and head on the railroad ties. He was picked up unconscious and but little hopes are entertained for his recovery. His fireman, Arthur Gigas, made one step towards jumping, but was too late. The crash came and the tender with its 30 tons of coal was thrown upon the cab of the engine and pinned Gigas right against the boiler of the engine. The escaping steam and water poured over him. He was boiled alive within ten minutes, in the presence of over 200 persons, who were powerless to rescue him. Several of the women specta- tors fainted as they saw him make his las. feeble gasps for breath. Gigas was a resi- dent of Missouri. Among those who received slight injuries are: Joseph Mitchell, conductor, left hand injured; Ed Remington, left arm dislocated; James Huston, back and head bruised. In an interview with G. B. Allen, the brakeman,who left the switch open, he said that he completely forgot it. He further stated that this was the first time he had ever been on a passenger as a brakeman @nd tnat he had had but two months ex- perience as a brakeman. SURE IT WAS NO MASSACRE Gen.

E. 8. tis was seen by a representative of the Post-Dispatch with reference to the cable- gram received from Manila Thursday, which states that a soldier was murdered in a native store at Oroquiet, Northern Mindanao, on Thursday while purchasing some food, and that a company of the ior- tieth Infantry, stationed at Cagayan, im- mediately went to Oroyquieta and killed *%9 natives as an act of revenge.

It Will Be Formed, It Is Said, by the Various Exchanges. Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 28.—It is that the various exchanges of the country will organize a telegraph company with @ capital of $5,000,000, for the purpose of interchanging quotations and conducting the confidential business which is at pres- ent transacted over the wires of the West- ern Union Telegraph Co. According to reports received in Wall Bireet such a plan is being considered in (Chicago, where a conference of representa- tives of all the leading exchanges will be held next Tuesday. if the company is formed it will take away a large part of the most remunera- tive business of the Western Union Tele- aph Co., which at present has a monop- oly of the distribution of quotations, It is said by less enthusiastic persons that the discussion is for the purpose of forc- ing the Western Union to abandon the giv- ing of qgiOtations to bucket shops. probable _ OE eee Ee eg OE pe . ' wreck JANAUSCHEK PROBABLY AT END OF STAGE > Ni ’ |. Ss | Lapy MacRETr Not Likely to Fully Recover From Attack of Paralysis. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 28.—While it is probable that Mme. Fanny Janauschek, who now lies prostrate in St. Mary’s Hospital, Brooklyn, may recover sufficiently to once more be up and around, it is almost certain that the attack of paralysis which struck her down has put an end to her stage career.. One entire side of her body was paralyzed, and for a time her life was despaired of, but it is now hoped that she will partially, at least, recover. She was stricken on Tuesday last, during the very hot spell, and the attack was due in part to her weakened condition, caused by the excessive heat. She has been active up to the present time aud only last winter made a tour of the country in repertory— the greatest of living tragic actresses. on July 20, 1830, to be exact—at Her talent was early developed under the direction of Benedix at Cologne, and at 18 she was a favorite at the Frankfort Theater. There she remained for 12 years, winning a reputation as a of great powcr and of fascinating personai- ity. Subsequently she den and other German cities. In 1867 Mme.

Her Lady Macbeth was considered the best of that time. In 1874 she revisited Germany, but returned in 1880, and has. since re- mained in chis, her adopted country. The story of Janauschek’s life is most ro- mantic. In her prime she was the queen of the European stage. toyal and imperial gifts were showered upon her. She num- bered among her most ardent admirers the late Empress of Russia, the King of Ba- varia, the King of Holland, Louis Na- poleon, viceroys and ambassadors and noblemen by the score. All of these had paid tributes to the tragedienne, and it is said that when she came to America in 1867 the jewels she brought with her as presents from her devotees in Europe were worth at least $200,000. The great actress has always persistently refused to write a autobiography. In her more than 50 years of acting she has come into contact with men and women whose words and ways had made fascinating topics for her easy and graceful pen, for she is an excellent writer of English and the continental languages. But generous offers for such work have been consistently rejected and the result has been that ex- travagant stories of her career in Europe have found their way into print. At all of them she has shrugged her shoulders “What will Among the characters which Janauschek his illuminated with her genius are De- borah, Medea, Marie Stuart, Lady Macbeth, Meg Merrilies, Zillah, Mariane, Bianca, Elizabeth, Adrienne and Catherine She was a magnificent Lady Dedlock the dramatized “Bleak House,’’ which she called ‘‘Chesney Wold,”’ and a no less perfect Hortense in the same play. — > ——- WHAT AILS SPOONER? GUESTION THAT ASTUTE POLITI- CIANS ARE ASKING. HIS RETIREMENT MYSTERIOUS. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ? WASHINGTON. July 28.—What is the matter with Senator Spooner of Wisconsin? He did not make his appearance at the Philadelphia convention; he has not per- mitted himself to be interviewed concerning the Republican ticket or its platform; and, stranger than all, he announces that he will not be a candidate for re-election to the Senate. llis determination to from the senatorial arena is a mystery to his personal and political friends, who have repeatedly heard him express a fondness for service in the United States Senate. Is voluntarily ministration’s sacred circle? Or does his political astuteness and usual sound judg- ment tell him that Wisconsin cannot re- main in the Republican column vember?” These are some of the questicns fre- quently asked because of the almost total eclipse, politically, of the brainy tittle man from Wisconsin, In conversation with a well-known “Republican from Wisconsin, who is a personal as well as a political friend of Senator Spooner, | gleaned some information which may throw some light on the mystery which now seems to en- velop the senior senator from Wisconsin. It appears that early in the last session cf Congress Senator Spooner was generally regarded and accepted as the lewal adviser of the President on all the great national and international questions pending in the Senate. Senator Spooner made a very care- ful study of the Philippine question and it was generally understood that he would voice the sentiments of the administration in a speech on that subject. [t was sup- posed and expected’ that he would sound the keynote of the administration on the Philippine question. Time passed on and his speech was, for some unknown reason, delayed. In the meantime Senator Lodge, chair nan of the Philippine commission, came turw’*d with his carefully prepared speech, which the country at once reeognized as having received its inspiration from the white House, Later Senator Spooner selected on inopportune period to deliver his lors-ex- pected speech and fell flat in circles where it was expected to arouse the greatest. on- hexXi thusiasm. After that Spooner was yradual- ly ignored and let drift away.

His counsel drew a touching picture of the horses and carriages he required both here and abroad. “Though 49 years old,”’ said he, tearfully, “he has never learned to work.” Justice O'Gorman, who also appeared to be very much affected, isaid that it was not plain from the papers that the trust fund was more than enough to support Mr. Tucker and educate Miss Tucker.

In round numbers this census will show about 22,000,000 potential voters in the United States. Those in charge of the statistics believe that fully 80 per cent are na- tive born. America’s potential military force is expected to be about 17,500,000. Ten years ago it was 13,230,168. The census will show that more than half the urban population of the country is included in the North At- lantic division of states, comprising Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,Rhode Island,Connec- ticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. ee - * “ a fe a SS “° o° 4° o,° °° " > © © *£ © *£ © o,° “° °° +,° °° +, °° 2 > > » » °° *,° °° *,° ,' 7 > »* = °° ¢,° o,° -_ 2 o° > » °° +2 °. i. “9° '” °. 7 2. 2 ¢ + °° 5 > » . o° * ” * ° * + * *¢ *. ¢ *' * 2 %, - = ° ” > “° ° > » ° «9 *%, * a a a Se a o %P Me Oe oe ae 0 eo hbe s & + Re MP FP ee Oe oe — %, ¢ 7 © .

WASHINGTON, July 28.—The official an- nouncement of the population of Kansas City “ay be expected Tuesday. The census bureau has been doing rapid work in count- ing ever since the census taking was com- pleted, using machines by which 1,000,000 a day could be counted. It will be able to announce the population of Cincinnati on Monday. Then will come Kansas City, then Chicago and New York. St. Louis will probably be announced the first of next week. The twelfth census will show the popu- lation of the United States to be between 75,000,000 and 76,000,000, an increase of about 14,000,000 since the census of 1890, In popu- lation this* country is just twenty times greater than it was 110 years ago. Under the enumeration of the eleventh census the increase in representatives was 31 mem- bers. The increase by this census will be probably about the same. Those in charge of the population division believe that the figures for cities will be disappointing. ‘The people have been set- tling more in the suburban districts during the past ten years than ever before. In the last census nearly one-third of the total population of the country lived in cities of 4000 inhabitants or more. It is expected that the percentage of increase in cities will be very slight. It has been found that territory opened up by electric lines is outside the municipal lines, and that while there is a perceptible increase in the population of a city the returns will not show it. Chicago is expected to show a wonderful growth because of the extension of its municipal lines, taking in many of the suburban districts. Where Urban Population Is. states, .. B. T.

The drug clerk weighed out the powder and put in in a regular poison envelope. “This is enough to kill a man, is it not?” Wright said carelessly. Smith said that it was, and he says that he warned Wright earnestly to be careful, as it was a very dangerous poison.

Based on an increase of 25 per cent in population, the potential militia force of the ['nited States, including all males between the ages of 18 and 44 years of age, would be about 17,500,000 men. This class in 1890 numbered 13,230,168. The native-born mili- | tia will be about 80 per gent of the whole number. About 70 per cent, or more than two-thirds. will be shown to be white. The returns will show that in the northern and western states the proportion of the po- tential militia is greater than that of pop- ulation, showing a preponderance of the mature male element, while in the south- ern states the proportion of militia is less than that of the population, showing the reverse. During the past decade immigration has not been upon so great a scale as it was during 1880 and 18%.

Sold His Farm to Please His Wife, Embarked in the Show Business and Now Has Lost Wife and Money. Chester A. Fry sits in the third floor of che rooming house at 802 Pine street intent- ly watching the throngs that pass along the street below, hoping to catch a glimpse of the young wife who disappeared from the house at noon Friday. He has asked the aid of the police in lo- cating her, but for fear that she might re- turn and not find him in he will leave his post for only a few moments at a.time. Teis is a story of domestic infelicity. It tells of how a young and prosperous farm- er. because of his love for a beautiful wo- man from “‘town,” sold his property, and in a little more than a year spent his heritage upon her, and finding himself penniless in PP CHESTER A. FRY. a big city, found and accepted the lowly calling of washing dishes in a restaurant. Chester A. Fry is a product of northwest Missouri. He was born and reared ora farm seven miles weat of Plattsburg, Mo. His father before him was a farmer and stock raiser, and when he died a few years ago he left a valuable farm to Chester, his only son. Young Fry—he is only 28 now— mas industrious and economical. Besides cultivating his big farm,he embarked in the lIfvery business at Plattsburg and fortune was smiling on him at every turn. He Surrendered to Beauty. Though he was considered a good ‘‘catch”’ in the neighborhood he was known as a man who was not susceptible to the wiles of the gentler sex, and hard work and busi- ness occupied all his attention. This was until about two years ago, when Estelle Mae Barker appeared in Plattsburg society. Her home was in Leavenworth, Kan., where her father was a carpenter. She went to the Missduri town on a visit to relatives, and at a social function Farmer Fry was introduced to her. She was a hand- some woman then, and Fry says she still is. He fell deeply in love with her. All during her stay in Plattsburg the prosperous young farmer was constantly endeavoring to win her favors. The best rigs in the livery sta- ble were constantly at her disposal, and he was never so happy es when he was driving her over the Plattsburg Streets. Miss Estelle Mae Barker admired the rug- ged young farmer, but she was too diplo- matic to allow him to Know of his advan- tage. Just at the time he thought his suit was progressing favorably and that it was about time for him to declarg himself she would find some excuse to become angry, but was always careful to not proceed so far that Fry was not at her beck and call. She Promised to Marry Him. When her visit was finished and she had returned to her home in Leavenworth Fry was still doubtful as to whether she cared for him. He paid a visit to Leavenworth and found courage to propose. She admitied that she cared for him, but she could never marry and settle down to dull humdrum life on the farm. If he would sell out his farm and move down to Springfield she would marry him. He demurred at first, but she tintlly gained her point. They were married, and at about the same time Farmer Fry's fertile acres were sold for $5000. His livery stable in the village of Plattsburg he kept. “We went to Springfield after we were married,’’ he told the Post-Dispatch, ‘‘and I bought a nice house at 805 State street. I put all the money I got out of the farm in the bank and I determined to make my wife happy. I spent a lot of money in fitting up the house. Nobody had more clothes than she and no one had any better. l bought her a horse and buggy, a bicycle, and the street cars went right by the door, “We lived well and had a servant.

I! was afraid it wasn't a woman and I told her so. Then she cried and said she wanted to go home. I told her that was exactly what I wanted her to do. I told her to pack her clothes and go. She put some of her clothes in a valise and set them down. 1 was sitting looking out of the window. My back was toward her. She could see me but I could not see her.

I ran out to the hall but she was nowhere to be seen. I thought she was gone only for a few minutes, but when night came and she did not re- turn I was worried and I felt awful bad.

TRUSTS’ MONEY BAGS The Saturday Evening Post gives a list of thirty of the big trusts, whese combined capital is placed at two and a third billions of dollars. It points out that the entire stock of money of all kinds in the United States, gold, silver, notes and certificates, amounts to about $2,700,000,000. Besides the thirty biggest named, there are others, the total capitaliza- tion reaching seven billions of dollars. “So that.’ adds the Saturday Evening Post, “if all the 400 combines in the list should try to turn their capitalization into cash they would use up every penny of the nation’s money and then have only about 40 per cent of their demands. Indeed, the thirty corporations mentioned would nearly use up all our cash.”’ Put your hand: in your pocket and feel of your change and bills. Think of your bank account, if you havé one. Is it réally your money, or is it due to the monopoly monster which has come to sit down on this great country? Better not make the trusts angry enough for a trial of strength, or they may leave us to do business with stamped leather, cowries and wampum. The cash is all theirs, according to their own showing. ~--—___—_—_—-—---@@@ . The most vigorous efforts of the police should be directed to the stopping of dynamite outrages on street cars, no matter who is responsible. Men who engage in violence against life or property do infinite damage to the cause of labor and are enemies of all social order. They must be punished. The law must be enforced and life and property made safe in St. Louis. o>o¢ PROTECT THE MISSISSIPPI. It behooves Missouri’s representatives in Congress to keep a close watch on the schemes of the Minnesota lumbermen for denuding the Leech Lake Chippewa Reservation of the timber which is now the chief preserving factor for the head waters of the Mississippi. The suggestion to turn this reservation into a public park, allowing the Indian tribes now there to remain, but main- taining a close government supervision over the timber, is an excellent one. No doubt all kinds of schemes will be concocted to remove the Indians and open the reservation. There are lakes on it aggregating 200,000 acres of water. which are kept well supplied because the rainfall is pro- tected by the forest covering nearly all the rest of the area. It would be an irreparable wrong to the people of the entire Mississippi Valley to permit this timber to be swept away by the lumbermen. If the river cannot be protected at its sources, all the millions of dollars devoted to its improvement annually will be lost. a ae Republicans will have to fight hard for Let the trusts prepare to shell out. +eeo-— FOLYGLOT WARFARE. One of the difficulties encountered by the allies in their Chinese campaign is the diversity of language. They cannot understand one another’s speech. During the assault upon Tien Tsin Gen. Fukushima sent @ message to the English commander. The message was un- intelligible and much time and many lives were lost in con- sequence. Interpreters were not to be had in sufficient num- bers to keep communication alive and confusion ensued. Polygiot warfare is not likely to be successful. If the pacification of China is to be accomplished by the allies something will have to be done to reduce the babel to har- mony. With Russians, English, French, Germans and Italians shouting orders each in his own tongue the Chinese will have an enormous advantage. But what language shall be chosen? Here is another occasion of international jealousy. Hanna says the victory this year. ———. ------——-- -- 90 @ It is easier to release him who decreases the revenue than higr who increases it.

A joke may be old, but the human race is ever young. Kvery joke, even the oldest, is new to somebody. Every thirty years there is a complete new world of people ready to read or hear jokes and laugh at them. This should be a good reason for the republication of every good joke that was ever made, at least once in 30 years. But as about half thé people would probably miss jokes printed at such intervals. it be- comes a duty to republish or retell every good joke every 15 years or so. ; The man who sneers at a joke as a limitations.

A wriier on social topics that “the number of entertainments given in hotels and smart restaurants is one of the growing signs of the laziness of modern life and the tendency to centralize in all things. People are thankful to be saved trouble at any cost, and giving parties in hotels saves an illimitable amount of calculation on the part of the hostess.” it is a sign indeed, worth noting. The tendency to cen- tralize found in this social movement is really a response to the ever imperious demand for the division of labor and ecomomy of energy. The tendency is visible in business and politics where perfection of organization seems ‘to be es- pecially desirable. Social entertainment is a species of play. Some philoso- phers maintain that the best work is done as the expression observes of the play instinct freely exercised pleasure or happiness. Art work of the highest type is an example. This is disinterested, not produced for reward but for the love of creative exercise. Conduct may be a fine art. Consciously or unconsciously we all try to adapt our manners to an ideal standard of what is gracious and human. But this cannot be attained if the energy required for the play instinct is drawn off by the cares of entertainment. Entertainment should be a joy not a care. Only so can the hostess be free to devote all her strength to promoting the pleasure of her guests. So the sensible woman employs those to assume the care who make that their business. And, since, by a natural law the number of sensible women tends to increase. we find.that the drudgery of entertaining is passing to professionals. When the practice becomes general social intercourse will be framed upon patterns of grace and beauty and conduct will be indeed a fine art. —__—__—__-____$@-@ The members of the Alabama Press Association, with their Wives, daughters and sisters, who are now guests of the city, are welcomed heartily to St. Louis. Alabama, a typical Southern State, characterized by more than the usual gener- osity of spirit peculiar to the South, is well rePresented by this selected body of men and women. St. Louis is gratified at the neighborly visit, which let us hope will be often re- peated. There cannot be too much of this social communica- tion between the metropolis of the Mississippi Valley, the World’s Fair City, and the people of the Gulf States. — ooo - THE POPULATION OF ST. LOUIS, It is said the population of St. Louis, as ascertained by the federal census, is not more than _ 600,000. To those who have confidently claimed 700,000 on the direc- tory basis of three inhabitants for every name, this will prove disappointing. But it is the opinion of census experts that other cities will make no better showing. Besides, an in- crease of 150,000 in ten years is not discouraging. St. Louis will certainly maintain the rank of 1890 and perhaps rise a step. The failure of cities to answer expectations, and it considered that there has been a failure, is due, perhaps, to the general adoption of electricity as a motive power in street transit. The suburbs attract the population which ten years azo was herded within the corporate limits of the city. An examination of the St. Louis directory will disclose thousands of names of men doing business in the city, but who live in the country. The number and proportion of these is much greater than in 1890. Louis has no reason to feel discouraged. An increase of 331-3 per cent is quite enough to satisfy the requirements of health and sound prosperity. is now +oo- ~ If there were not a policeman in the city, the pres2-nt muni- cipal administration would not keep enough money in the treasury to carry on the city’s business.

When Mrs. Stetson discovered that she and Mr. Stetson were not suited to each other she did not sit down and ery. She sat down and thought. Naturally she thought of her most intimate friend. She thought this lady» would mak Mr. Stetson an ideal wife. So she sent for her most intimate friend to make a long visit. She helped along the inevitable, and by and by the three of them sat down, this time to talk it over. The result was that a divorce was quietly procured, and after a genteel lapse of time Mr. Stetson and the most intimate friend were married. But more surprises followed. Mrs. little daughter to the keeping of her former husband and his new wife. As she desired a public career she believed this would be better for the child. But this is not the end. Mrs. Stetson No. 1 accompanied her ex-husband and Mrs. Stetson on their wedding trip as far as New York, where she saw them off to Europe. -: Now she visits them once a year, and her most intimate friend grows dearer every year. Finally Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson delivered an ad- dress in Milwaukee not long since, entitled the ‘“‘Devotion of a Mother’s Love.” Count the surprises and do a little independent thinking. Stetson gave up her Through a blunder of our peace commissioners at Paris, we are to pay Spain $100,000 for two islands of the Philip- pine archipelago.

Scherer is a little over 5 feet tall, but it didn’t prevent his engaging the two brawny officers: and latterly challenging the entire force to fisticuffs, providing clubs were barred. The matter now resolves itself into a question of simple arithmetic: If it re- quires two big officers with two big clubs to arrest one little chap, handicapped by his wife pulling at his coattails, in what length of time could the force suppress gambling?

This law is not the law under which the justice of the peace courts in St. Louis are operated, conducted or governed. It is “‘an act fixing the salaries to be paid to justices of the peace and constables in townships which now have or may hereafter have a population of 100,000 inhabitants and less than 300,000,” The law under which the justice of the peace courts of St. Louis are operated, con- ducted or governed can be found in the ses- sion acts of 1891. page 175. Said act was ap- proved April 23, 1891. Under this act jus- tices and constables were to be elected on the general election day, A. D. 18%, and every four years thereafter. It can also be found on page 1539, Revised Statutes, Mis- souri, 1899, and is generally known as the “Devoy law.” WILLIAM JEFF POLLARD, Justice of the Peace, Fourth District. Exposition Suggestions.

GRAIN TRADERS AFFECTED. Tax of 10 Per Cent, Accord- ing to Another Ruling. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Wil- son has decided that all persons whose business it is to buy or sell grain or other merchandise on commissien orders received from customers are commercial brokers and required to pay special tax as such, even when they negotiate such purchase or sales in their own names. The ruling which was received at the inetrnal revenue collector's office yester- day has been the subject of controversy for some time. It was brought to the attention of the authorities in a letter from a prominent grain merchant which is as follows: “If we have a customer in the country who sends us an order to sell 10,000 bushels of wheat for September delivery, we sell KEPT lS TRYST WITH DEAD WIFE New York Lawyer Kills Him self in Grief. “| WILL BE WITH YOU SOON.” HE MADE THE PROMISE AS HE BENT OVER THE BODY. He Took Poison in the Meadows and His Body Was Not Found by the Williamsburg Police for Sev- eral Days. WILLIAMSRBURG, ey. body of Jacob C. Meinzer, a prominent lawyer for whom the police had been eee since he disappeared, was found this week in the salt meadows, back of the Wyckoff homestead, at Flushing and John- son avenues, Williamsburg. The body was identified by A business card, which was found in the pocket, and upon which was written: “If anything happens to me notify William Meinzer, No. 268 Stockton street.” The police believe Meinzer committed sul- cide by taking poison. He had been despon- dent since the death, three weeks ago, of his wife, to whom he was devotedly at- tached, and had been able to devote little attention to his law practice since. His wife died at St. Mary’s Hospital after an operation, and at the funeral, which was held at Meinzer’s residence, No. 328 Stock- ton street, he was heard to whisper, as he bent over the body, “I will be with you in a short time.”’ Meinzer haJj visited the grave of his wife every day, but on Wednesday last _ his friends urged him to think of something else, warning him that he was giving too much of his thought to her memory. He went to his office at 1153 Myrtle avenue on Thursday morning, and, telling his clerks that he was going to the Supreme Court, walked out. le did not Treturn that day, and when on Friday he did not appear at his customary time, the clerks informed the police A careful search was begun for the miss- ing man, but no trace was found of him until today, when a man taking a short cut across the meadows came upon the bedy of a man lying face down in the grass. He summoned the police, and the body was ex- amined. Strangély enough, the shoes, socks and hat were missing, and the only thing found on the body was the card asking the police to inform his brother. The body wae taken to the morgue, where an autopsy will be performed. he lice believe Meinzer removed his shoes and haf, intending to jump into the river, Dut later changed his mind and went to the salt meadows and took poison. Meinzer had a very large practice tn Wil- liamsburg, counting many prominent Ger- mans among his elients. He was also prom- inent socially and was a member of several clubs and German singing societies. His brother it was learned has not lived at the Stockton avenue address far a year. The police will try to find him. AN ENGLISH VIEW. McKinley’s Policy From the Conserv- ative British Standpoint. From the London Saturday Review. Mr. McKinley has proved himself a mase ter in the art of soothing rhetoric and when the campaign is once — we shall doubtless have a repetition of the platitudes with which the American elector has been diligently fed ever since the in- auguration of the foreign policy with which Mr. McKinley’s name will be principally associated, and which we are told “has elevated and extended the influence of the American nation.” With the exception of the record of the navy it is difficult for us to understand in what sense the word “‘ele- vate’ is employed. To the tmpartial ob- server the Republican record during thé past four years seems to be one of a cyni- cal betrayal of pledges and violation of good faith. It leaves the United States saddled with acquisitions of territory scattered over twa oceans, immense portions of which are not yet reduced even to the semblance of ac- quiescence in their rule, and it has rendered increasingly difficult for them the logical defense of the Monroe doctrine whenever it may be the Interest of some European ower to question it. As for Mr. McKin- ee own part in this policy, it has con- sisted in swelling pronouncements which events have completely and invariably fal- sified. The promise of free trade to the Porto Ricans and its subsequent with- drawal, owing to the threats of Republic- an producers of sugar and tobacco, is no very hopeful foretaste of American ad- ministration. In Cuba matters are no bet- ter; the postal scandals there are yet by no means fully investigated. Sut encus has come out since the arrest of Neeley to justify Senator Hale's description of the system there in force since it Was “lit erated” from the Spaniards as “a carnival of fraud and corruption.” But it is the Philippine episode which ia likely to prove the most serious stum- bling block in the way of Republican suc- July 2.—The it to stamp the contract at the rate of 1 cent for every $100 that it would be worth at the price sold. Our customer is not known in the transaction at all. He would send us, Say, 5 cents a bushel as margin to protect us against loss on the market. In case he should desire to buy this grain back at any time before Sept. 30, he pays us a commission for making the trade, the Same as he would grain into Toledo. We pay stamp tax on the contract the same as if the grain was delivered. ‘The difference between ourselves and a broker in handling the business is that a broker sells for one party to another, and after the trade is made he is out of the Ceal and has no responsibility in the matter, while we are held responsible by the tirm we sell to for any loss there may be incurred by a failure to fill the con- tract, a8 the contract is made in our name and we are held as principals. “The same condition applies buy grain in the country for shipment."’ when we deferred The commissioner requests that the ape- | Clal tax be levied on all those who have not patd before Aug. 1 or a special penalty | of 50 per cent will be assessed. Relative to the special tax on Canadian banknotes, the commissioner rules that whenever Canadian banknotes or any notes, foreign or domestic, other than national! banknotes, are used in circulation tin the I'nited States, any bank receiving such notes and paying them out again ifn the United States, is required to pay the tax of 10 per cent. - CUBAN MILITARY STATUS The Intention Is to Leave Only 5000 Soldiers on the Island. NEW YORK, July 2.—Gen. - Leonard Wood, military governor of Cuba, who has been in the United Statee for about a fort- hight, sailed on the Mexico today for Hav- ana Gen. Woods said of the military ftatus in Cuba: ‘The withdrawal of the United States troops frum Cuba will end with the em- barkation of the remaining battalions of the First and Fifth Infantry. That will leave only about 500° soldiers on the Island, “Fears that yellow fever would interfere with the transfer of the First Infantry were removed this month upon the re- ceipt of a telegram which said that the gurgeens reported that all signs of it had ra some member of our exchange and /'§ cess. The orator who can satisfactorily exe tract credit for the Republican party from its record here must be more than come monly adept in the art of political peeudoi- ory. Ti is true that the new head of the Phillp- pine Commiasion bids them rely on the “‘venerosity” of the American people, but with the example of Porto Rico before them we have grave doubts if that nebulous prog pect will induce them to come out of thelr had he shipped the swamps and embrace their deliverers. The nearest approach to a @eclaration of policy ‘by the Republican party is contained In the dill brought into the Senate by Senator Spooner, which would enact that when the | insurrection ia suppressed the government 'of the islands shall be vested In persons and exercised in a manner “approved by the President” with the view of “maintaining and protecting the inhabitants of said tisi- ands in the free enjoyment of thelr liberty, yrroperty and religion.” Ae a declaration of policy this shows the same cowardice and Incapacity to take @ straight line which have distinguished Mr. ‘McKinley all through, and the bill is aveWe edly br ught forward to give his policy the gtamp of senatorial approval. As jong 4&0 as February, 189, he annoureed to the world that “‘the whole subject is now with Con- gress, and Congress is the voice, the con- eclence and the judgment of the American ipeopie.”” In his last annual message he de- lored that “the future government of the hilippines resta with the Conaress of the United States.

Mr. Haughton has been a careful and considerate caterer to lovers of first-class boxing, and they propose making good this opportunity to reciprocate for many past favors received at his hands. , NEW YORK, July 25.—Bob Fitzsimmons, although he has been practically out of the game Since his defeat by Jeffries, more than & year ago, expects to prove that he is still very much alive when he meets Gus Ruh- lin on Aug. 10. The Cornishman is train- ing at Bergen Beach for his fight with the “Akron Glant.”” He has fitted up quarters a short distance-from his home, and is working as he never worked before in preparation for a battle, says the Journal. Ruby Robert evidently has much respect for the man who robbed Sharkey of his laurels, and if he fails to defeat the young Ohioan it will not be due to lack of discre- tion. Fitz knows that a victory over Ruh- lin would assure him a return match with Jeffries for the championship. Therefore, he looks upon his coming battle as one 0! the most important engagements of his career. Although realizing that his opponent is a good youngster, Fitzsimmons believes there ean only be one result. He has confidence to burn. and does not hesitate to predict a knockout victory before half the distance has been reached. In his training schedule sparring is the main feature. Little time is given to road work. In the afternoon several hours are spent in the gymnasium. This part of the program is a sideshow to visitors to- the beach who can afford to contribute 25 cents for admission. When ‘‘Bob” first opened his camp on the boardwalk thousands crowded into the lit- tle hall to get a glimpse of the boxer at work, but Fitz did not want so many on hand and decided to shut out all deadheads This action has kept the attendance down to small numbers. The show, however, is well worth the price. In addition to the regular hand ma- chine maneuvers and wrestling, 12 interest- ing rounds of fast fighting are thrown in. It’s no exhibition, either, but the real thing. Bob Armstrong is well up in the game, and he has all the physical advan- tages that go with the well-proportioned giant. The rounds are three minutes each, and the pair cut loose from the start. Pitzsimmons, of course, is the master of ceremonies, and when matters get too warm the timer calls a halt. After his bout with the colored man yesterday ‘‘Fitz’’ remarked that Armstrong was the best partner he ever had. “He is the first man whom I could let go at,’ said he. “Bob can take a good punch, and at the same time give a good one in return. There is no quit in him. He is always ready for work.”’ At the end of the bout ‘‘Jeff’’ Thorne takes Armstrong's place and goes six scli- entific rounds. There is little hard hitting done in this bout, the main object being the exercise of good judgment in footwork and defensive tactics. In speaking of his fight yesterday, Fitz- simmons said: “T was at the ringside when Ruhlin de- feated Sharkey, and unless I can defeat him in less than the limit | am very much mistaken. Il don't think® that Ruhlin is easy game, but I am sure that I will prove that am his master on Aug. 10. My in- jured hand is coming around in good shape and I do not anticipate any further trou- ble with it. It will be strong enough to send Ruhlin to the floor if the opportunity is offered to send it in. My condition has never been better, and when I| enter the ring I expect to show my admirers that lI am far from being a dead one.”’ Joe Walcott, who has been for many years fighting under the management of Tom O'Rourke, declared in unmistakable terms the other night that hereafter he will be his own manager. O'Rourke want- ed Walcott to sign to fight Tommy West. Walcott refused to fight until October, whereupon O'Rourke, it is alleged. told Walcott he was ‘“‘no good.”’ Walcott took offense and declared that hereafter he would make his own matches and be his own manager, and wanted noth- ing further to do with O'Rourke. “T have split with O'Rourke,’ said Wal- cott, “and any matches | make in the future I will make myself. I am my own mInanager from now on. and Mr. O'Rourke has nothing to do with any matches I make. I never had a contract with him and can draw away whenever I want to. He has been sore at me because I was sick, and he wanted me to fight West, but 1 am not ready to fight vet. When 1 get ready I will make a match.’ Billy Brady, manager of Jim Jeffries, re- turned from Europe Thursday VW hen asked if the champlon would fight before Sept. 1, Brady replied: ‘Jeffries will be ready to start training in a week. I will sign articles with Ruhlin if he is not de feated by Fitzsimmons, and the fight will come off Sept. 1. , Jim Jeffries doesn't like English boxers. He says they used to steal his Bass ale Jeff says they can drink it by the tankful The champion will never forget the col- ony of fengtish pugs, his next-door neizh- | bors at Loch Arbor, during his training for | Sharkey.

NEW YORK, July 28.—Bob “itzsimmons evidently not vet over his troubles, for he has.met with another mishap. ‘This time it is his right arm that requires the atten- tion of a physician. Today “Lanky Bob” came up from his training camp at Gergen Beach and ealled at Bellevue Hospital to have his arm treated. The injured arm Was steamed in the Sprague machine, an ippar- atus which submits the patient to a hot alr treatment of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. After the treatment he had a consultation with his physician, Dr. J. H. Sullivan, who has been attending to the injury to his left hand time. Fitzsimmons is not at all hecuuse of his new ailment, as he SA) it is nothing more than a little stiff- ness in the joints of the elbow, caused by the damp weather. ——— = . THE ST. LOUIS a A. A. —_— —- —- ee New Sprinting Path to Be Built ‘on Its Grounds in Forest Park. The directors of the St. Louis Amateur Athletic Association, with headquarters in Forest Park, are crowing very ioud over the success scored by their organization the past year. It is the cardinal rule of the Club to ex- pend no moneys in excess of its income. In April, 1899, the Club actually had three hun- dred and fifty-five members in good stand- ing. At the first of June, 1900, the Club had an average membership of five hundred, and the number of lockers has been more than doubled. The prospects of the Club have never been brighter. During the last six months many improve- ments have been made on the Club Jlouse and grounds. Two spacious porches have been added to either end of the Club House at a cost of three hundred and forty-five dollars. Fifty new lockers have been ndded to the number on the second floor. Six tennlg with cinder foundations have Which make nine courts I]. These courts are without doubt inest tennis courts in the West. A new ball diamond has been made with a cinder foundation, making it by far the fin- est diamond in the citv. The Club has now two fine ball diamonds, thus -xiving c}:por- tunity for four base ball teams to play on the Club's grounds at the same time. The golf links, which were for a time in poor shape on account of scarcity of funds, are now perhaps the finest in the city. Che great difficulty of keeping the grass cut has now been solved, and it can be : very best condition. As the club is new and as the comnmpittees of the first year or two had not time to obtain much experit- ence, it naturally follows that there were many things to learn in regard to manag- ing the different branches of sport. How- ever, at the present time, each branch is receiving the highest degree of care and attention, and in the future the club will be on a plane equal to the highest standard of any club in the country Few members outside of the board and committees realize the many obstacles it Was necessary to overcome, and the many problems it was nece SSary to solve, before placing the club on a firm and substantial basis IXvery branch of outdoor sport has been encouraged The handball court, recently blown down by wind, has been re- paired and is now the very best con- qaitton During the winter the club was repre- sented by a hockey team Last summer the club’s water polo team made a good showing The baseball team, which was | well organized, has made a very fine record for the season. The baseball diamond, ten- nis court and the golf links were in condi- tion for use as early as April of this vear. A place has bee . for a track in front of the club } As this branch ‘ sport has been rec a general re- vival throughout country, it is pro- posed, at the fir where the club will be meetings in the near | ‘tion of allowing ladies and bovs he club ind grounds has ed by the board the use of the the golf links and lawn mornings only, except Vs, and will not be ad- as the club is es- tut question that the use of the any time s solicit suggestions earnestly request ostions of kind whatsoever ‘esarding the club house and grounds be writing, elther to the president, or committee in charge of the lar branch of sport to which the ‘tion relates _. é ————— ARLIE LATHAM’S GAGS. iit ira ‘ f rom the members, at SULR [ Some of Them, It Is Alleged, Are Taken From a Joke Book. NEW YORK. July 28.—In a conversation with Bob Allen the other evening Arlie Latham stated that he had made a great hit with some new stories down in Hayrick, N.

A FINE FIELD OF STARTERS. Among the Eligibles Are Crackerjacks Like Wounded Knee and Hi-nock-er. The stake feature at the Fair Grounds this week is the St. Francois handicap. The St. Francois is a handicap sweep- Stakes at six furlongs for all ages. There were 62 nominations to this event and among those likely to start are Lau reate, Capron, Admiral Schley, Verify, Thrive, Harry Duke, Wounded Knee. Tom Collins, Found, Tulla Fonso, Hilee. Hi- nocker-er, Fireside, The Conqueror, Sidbow, Woodtrice and others. This race, in fact, promises to be one of the most interesting of the stake events disposed of at the Fair Grounds this year. Gwynne R. Tompkins has added two niore “‘timber toppers’ to his string of jumpers. The new ones are not yet ready to race, but Tompkins is giving them daily ‘preps, and will race them at Harlem during the summer meeting. Skillman, easily one of the best handicap horses in the South this spring, will prob- ubly be shipped to Harlem from St. l.ouis for the summer meeting. Skillman is owned by B. Cavanaugh, who will take him east for a campaign at Saratoga, making an intermédiate stop at Harlem. On and after next Monday. Secretary Nathanson of the Harlem Jockey Club and his assistants will make their headquarters at the track. Jockeys Winkfield and McDermott have gone East to ride as free lances. The lutter has several engagements to fill at Erighton J3each and Saratoga. Jockey Burns left Hawthorne for Sara- toga Thursday night to ride the Schorr horses in their stake engugements, but wil] return to Hawthorne for the fall meeting. St. Louis starters are not the only ones that have trouble. Starter George Gould of Toledo tried for an hour and a half to get a field of 13 runners oft, but failed. the effort breaking up in a general row, in which it was feared many heads would be Lroken. The police quieted the disturbance, = the race was continued until Wednes- day. “Pa” Bradley is plaving in hard luck. Lightning struck his place in Virginia the other day, setting fire to his stables and destroying many horses, the stallion Mir- acle being among them. Miss Bennett has easily proven herself the best filly now racing at Hawthorne The track Saturday will be in condition to break records, should the horses have the required speed. An attractive card of seven races, including the Laurel stakes, will be the Fair Grounds’ offering to the half-holiday contingent who enjoy the “sport of kings.”’ Jockey Bullman has made his last ap- pearance in the saddle at Hawthorne this season. Bullman is mad at Starter Holt- man for some fines incurred by diso- bedience at the post. The jockey and his employer, Green B. Morris, will go to east- ern tracks. Morris will take a portion of his string to California for the winter. Pat Corrigan has received a copy of Lon- don Sporting Life, in which it is reported that Ed Corrigan’s Golden Rule recently worked five-eighths at Newmarket in 1:(2 with a big stable boy up, and went the route without an effort. Kid Rogers is a little fellow, but he is making the biggest book of any penciler now doing business at the Fair Guiana. Owing to the increased attendance at Hawthorne the Illinois Central has put on an extra race train. soon? Southard was suspended for the remainder of the Hawthorne meeting on Thursday for the foul committed on Fancy- wood in the stake race. Tulla Fonso will not be allowed to start again at Hawthorne. Starter Holtman has ordered that her entry be refused in the future because of her bad acting at the barrier. One of the hottest tips of the meeting was sprung on the bookies in the conclud- ing event on Friday. The talent played Lakeview Belle for a cinch. The filly was backed from 10 to 1 down to 8 to 5. The winner, however, turned up in Belle Elgin, who should have been pla only on her form, but because was astride her. ‘Texas’’ Smith, who was ruled off the turf this week by the Washington Park stewards, has this to say of their ruling: “When the stewards of Washington Park summoned me before them, some time ago, to question me about the story of my tak- ing money from Carroll, they told me no charge existed against me. but they simply wanted to inquire about the story that had reached their ears. I did ask Col. Letcher to write me a claim for Catastrophe, and I was approached by Carroll while the colonel was writing it—that is all true. What Car- roll said to me was that he was a poor man; that the horse was his only possession, that he wanted to win a purse with him to ald irst opportunity, to construct | ‘gon entering into an agreement or attempt- him in his difficulties, and that he hoped I would not, with these circumstances In mind, push my claim for the animal. I ‘told him that being the case I would waive my claim, and I thereupon notified Letcher to destroy the paper, which he did. Not a word was said about money by Carroll or myself. But had there been, I cannot understand how. under rule 156 of the Turf Congress laws. he should escape and Il should suffer. That rule says that any per- ing to prevent another from claiming shall he ruled off. Now, the fact is that I have been jobbed. I have been a source of an- novance to men who run their horses out of line in selling races and they have con- pired against me. I have Known for weeks, even months, that this element had been awaiting an opportunity to compromise me, but I never had a suspicion that they would he successful. I understand that the wit- nesses against me were Frank Doss and Danny Lynch. “T have been advised to take an appeal to the appeals committee of the American Turf Congress I feel that if such a con- spiracy can be successful on the turf I am better away from it.

H. Smith to distinguish him from the half- dogen other Smiths in the racing business, has been a terror to owners of selling pia- ters. Any owner who entered his horse be- neath its value might be sure that Smith would “boost” him if he won or claim his horse if he lost. This process is perfectly legitimate, yet the man who does either is gure to make enemies. The turf rules “uve stringent in the protection of those who wish to either run up or claim. But Smijh needed no protection of this sort, for he is understood to be a fearless man and one ft were wise to not try intimidation up Even his enemies concede that no string pf horses rur more consistently than the Tex- an’s and that he never “lays a horse up in the books.’ Smith pays no attention to the gambling end of racing. being con- | tent to run his horses for the purses. | President Fitsgerald of the Chi¢ago Jock- ey Club has rescinded the order against Jonn ‘arroll’s entries at Hawthorne and will allow vaaeeregee to race during the pres- jent meeting. a fit of anger yesterda, |GURE TO STAY GURED WS Varicocele, Stricture, Cone tagious Bleod Poison, Nervo-Sexual Debility and All Reflex Complications and Associate Diseases and Weaknesses of Men.

GRAIN TRAD —, — Chicago Quotations May End Soon. AN INJUNCTION GRANTED. MEANTIME ST. LOUIS TRADING WILL BE LIGHT. en History of the Chicago Fight on the Bucket Shops Which Has Resulted in Injury to All Other Grain Markets. The quotations of the Chicago Buard of Trade will not be cut off from St. Louis July 31, as it had been feared, How soon after that date they may be cut off can nof yet be told. Judge Bishop of Chicago yesterday at the request of the Central Stock and Grain Exchange of that city issued a temporary injunction restraining the Chicago Board ot Trade from cutting off their quotations. It is said that the injunction is broad -@enough to allow the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies to gather the uotations without being interfered with by the Board ot Trade. In its complaint the Central Exchange Said that the cutting off of the quotations would greatly injure their business. The crusaae of the Chicago Board of Trade against the bucket shops, which has been going on for several years, and which Was at its height in 1859, has again been started, with the result that all the other grain markets of the country will in the future be deprived of the quotations made on that exchange. It is calculated by the directors of the Chicago Board of Trade that, unable to get the quotations made on that exchange, tne bucket shops would be obliged to close up. It is hard to estimate the injury that the loss of Chicago quotations would do the local market, as traders here have come so accustomed to depend = en- tirely on Chicago for cues as to the right course of the market, that, deprived of them, the pit will be afraid to enter into large speculations, and the market will be dead. St. Louis would not be the only market to Sulfer from the lack of the Chicago quo- tations. Toledo, Kansas City and even New York would feel the effects of the loss of the quotations of the greatest grain mar- Ket in the world. It is gery d a fight against the bucket shops, but it really seems to “uggest a dis- pute between the Western Union Telegraph Co. and the Postal Telegraph Co. on the one hand and the Chicago Board of Trade on the other, as to how the quotations made on the floor of the Board of Trade shall be sent out to other exchanges. The former insist that they be allowed to send them out as often as they please, and the Jatter de- manding that they be sent out only at inter- Vals 80 as to cut off-trade from the vLucket shops. ; Ever since telegraph companies were ad- mitted to the floor of the Chicago Board of ‘Trade, except for a few months in 1899, the quotations have been coming regularly to the local exchange as soon as they were made. Now no quotations made there will be posted, and the only way that local trad- ers can get any inkling as to the course of the market will be through the private wire houses, which, at intervals, will continue to get the quotations It has been the custom of the telegreph companies to employ regular ;eporters on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade for sending out the quotations. ‘These were furnished the exchange free of char:re, and through them all the the grain markets of e country bad a continuous report. The Postal Telegraph Co., July !7, notified all the exchanges of the country ‘hat 1nless the Board of Trade agreed to their terms that after July 31 quotations vould be no longer sent out. The two sides being unable tu come to some agreement the quotations will be dis- continued July 21. Ww. Capen, superintendent of the Postal Telegraph Co., sent the following messuge to the focal manager July 17, and by him the Merchants’ Exchange was notified July 18. The notification follows: CHICAGO, Juy 17, 1900 C, Dougherty, Manager, St. Louts: The Chl- engo Boaid of Trade some time ago submitted a proposition te the Western Union and the Pos- Telegranh Cable Cos vhieh demanded of telegraph companies exhorbitant financial terms, combined with tinpracticable conditions fer the distribution of ita market quotations The telegraph companies have endeavored § to meet the views of the Chicawo Roard of Trade in every way possible, having made a liberal counter proposition The result is that the board has declined to accept the proposition of the te egraph companies and has given notice that Its market quotations will be withdrawn from the telegraph companies Aug. 1 next This aec- tion on the part of the Board of Trade will. after July 31, necessarily deprive our subactribers of the Chicage Board of Trade quotations, as they have heretofore been sent out. We, there- fore, give this noflee to our subscribers that they may govern themselves accordingly. 7; 2. 4 Superintendent. committee of the Mer- chants’ Exchange, realizing the importance of these quotations, sent George Morgan, secretary of the exchange, and Bert Lang, chairman of the committee, to Chicago to see what agreemerit could be made regard- ing the quotations. They learned that un- less tlie telegraph companies would agree to send out the quotations at regular inter- vals, so as to cut off the bucket shops, they would not be allowed to send any quotations made on the floor of the board of trade. Through suggestions of these representa- tives the board of trade directors Wednes- day passed a recommendation of an amend- ment to the rules of the exchange, which reads as follows: The board of directors shall prescribe cer- tain fixed times during exchange hours at which the market prices of transactions on such exchange may be quoted by membera to their customers. These fixed times shall be indl- cated by the telegraph transmitter on the con- tinuous quotation tape, and the next quota tion for the month immediately following such fixed time shall be deemed the quotable quo- tation therefor. These shall be tmmediately wsted on the biackboard in the exchange hall. No member of the exchange shall by private or public wire or otherwise quote any price except euch as j# the first for the commodity, tm mediately following the time Indicated on the tape or such as is posted on sald blackboard No member shall be permitted to use prices made in actua] transactions as quotations or give them to any other person other than the one making the transaction. Any mwember vio- lating this rule shall, for the first offense, be suspended, and for the second, expelled. According to this quotations will be sent out at stated intervals, probably five min- utes apart, and these can be received by any private individual or by any exchange But here the telegraph companies step in and say that if they are not to be allowed to send out continuous quotations that they will send messages only at regular office rates and as there is a great difference in the rates for sending messages to ex- changes and those sent at office rates it has been decided that no quotations will be posted on the local market that comes from Chicago. The Merchants’ Exchange has been in the habit of getting the Chicago quotations at the rate of $300 a month and sending their messages at the rate of five indications to the word and 20 cents for 10 words or 50 in- dications. So, if the regular office rate were paid it would be very much higher This will not be the first time that the local market has been deprived of the Chi- cago quotations. In 1889 the Chicago Board of Trade, for virtually the same reasons, took their quotations away from the tele- graph companies, but later gave them back again. At that time Mr. Baker was pres- ident of the board of trade, and was largely due to his influence that the Pie: shops were attacked. Later, men Iinter- ested in the bucket-shops got into power and the telegraph companies were once more allowed to have the quotations. A mecting looking toward an adjustment of the difficulty and a continuance of the quotations will be held at Chicago Monday at which representatives of all the western exchanges will be present. The Merchants xchange will send as its representatives Cc. H. Spencer and 8. W. Cobb. . The quotation REAL ESTATE NEWS, oe THERE ARE CLEAR EVIDENCES OF RISING MARKET AT HAND. INTEREST RATE 5 PER CENT. Personal Sales—Leading Transfers of the Week—Building Permits. Although there waS not a great deal of business done amortg real estate men ! week, there are two things which are special importance just now. One is that the current rate of has come to be regarded per Six per cent loans are still made, but ¢ lender must be an exceptionally good juds of values, and must be able to fidently for himself whether or not he 15 safe in accepting the security offered at that rate. The day of good 6 per cent loans is past—for a time at least; and it is doubt- ful if it ever returns to the St. Louis real estate business. The other significant eral persons have lately bought real es- tate and sold it at a profit within #0 days. It is many a year since this has happened in St. Louis and men would do well to Keep a sharp lookout for what the phenomena mean. The Mercantile Trust Co. reports today one case following the auction In the Allen subdivision. Charles F. Voge! reported a case last Sunday and yestreday he reported another, the particulars of which were that a loan was made several vears ago on 198 feet on the east side of Burgess avenue, 100 feet north of lm avenue, in Burgess’ subdivision, two blocks south of Manchaster road and two blocks west of Big Bend road, St. Louis County, Mo., which was forecloser and bid in at a cost of about $800. The purchaser hela the lots three weeks, and sold them (to two parties for $1050 cash, and the party purchasing the southern 50 feet for $50! has been offered a profit of $1 a foot, or $0", which was declined. When men can buy real estate and sell it at a profit within a few weeks, it means that the long fall in the price of real estate has ceased, and that an active mar- ket is at hand. There is a g@eral feeling among agents that next fall there will be an unusually good business; and these re- sales at a profit sustain that view. The fact that a purchase has been made at a trustee’s sale does not change the mean- ing of the fact. It has been difficult in past years to get bidders to attend trus- tees’ sales, and in a large percentage of cases the holders of the note had to bid in the property to protect himself. This meant, of course, that although the se- curity might have been good at the time the loan was made, during the years that the loan ran the price of the property fell, until at the maturity of the note and the inability of the owner to meet his obliga- tion, the price obtainable was not equal to the amount of the note. The property has not, meanwhile, fallen in value; it has fallen in price. The fact that within the past few weeks purchases have been made at trustees’ sales, and the buyers have been able so soon to sell again at a pro- fit. indicates a rise in the price of real estate which will bring a refreshing tone to the market, and will benefit the makers as well as the holders of notes. For no man lends money on property with a view to purchasing at a foreclosure. What the lender wants is his interest without in- terruption, and clearly the borrower does not mortgage his property with the desire to tose it. The profits on the resales re- ported today and last Sunday are among the most invigorating facts which the mar- ket has éxperienced for a long time. Mercantile Trust Co. Among the sales for the last week the Mercantile Trust Co. reports the following: Lot fronting 50 feet on the north side of Russell avenue, between McNair and Mis- souri avenues, in the Allen's Lafayette Park addition, for the account of Messrs. Niemeter & Kistenmacher to Mr. Bernard Barutio, for $2250. Mr. Barutio will erect a residence to occupy as a home. Messrs. Niemeier & Kistenmacher were purchasers at the recent sale conducted by this com- pany, and were able to resell within a short period at a profit. They consider this South Side property as a first-class invest- ment from a speculative point of view. Also, two two-story brick houses, 1429 and 1431: North Sixteenth street. sold to | Mr. Frank L.

R. P. Serrano,.the Mexican consul in Bt. Louis, has addressed a circular to local firms which ship goods into Mexico calling attention to the fact that he is ready to aid them in stimulating commerce with (the Sister republic and pointing out how the trade may be facilitated if shippers wiil work in conjunction with the consulate. He calls attention to the fact that by having the proper legal papers made out to accompafiy their shipments St. Louis e.- porters will avoid vexatious delays incident to unloading and general inspection at the border. By so doing he says the exporters will be assured that St. Louis will receive credit due in Mexican and United States re- ports for shipments originating here which would otherwise be credited to border towns. In conclusion, Mr. Serrano says: “To avoid unnecessary work and trouble in packing lists, you can send your ship- ping clerks to this office, where all nec- essary information will be furnished by a practical expert in all details of custom house technicalities and who will make said papers In the proper form for all shippers that may not have sufficient practice. I desire to do everything in my power to increase and develop our import and ex- port trade, and feel most sure of success with the important encouragement of your intelligent assistance.” It Is in a Nervous Condition and Dis- LUNDON == MONEY High.

A heavy reaction has come in the cash and speculative markets for the staple dur- ing the past few weeks, simultaneously with the falling of prices for mill products. The plant in the South is prospering and this, of course, means a heavy crop. Business conditions generally, and more especially in this vicinity, depend largely upon the condition of the cotton trade. An the situation seems to be rather in favor of lower prices. cided slackening in the demand is mated, and, in a general way, trade not improved recently.

Stock Raided to Secure the Unloading Orders and Stop Long Losses— Effect of the Bank Statement. NEW YORK, July 28.—There was almost nothing in the day's stock market to inter- est anyone outside of the small circle of professional operators in stocks who con- ducted all! the business. Prices advanced in the first hour and declined after the ap- pearance of an unexpectedly strong bank Statement. Small net losses are the rule a% a consequence, The only thing that could be called a feat} ure perpendicular three points in Sugar, after an opening advance of three-eighths. The reasons assigned was a rumor of a strike in one of the compa- ny's refineries. The rumor was denied with- Out materially strengthening the _ stock. Selling orders to stop losses on the long side were uncovered at the decline. and the raid on the stock was doubtless made with the purpose of dislodging these orders, ‘he bears were content to take their profits and the stock quieted down. Brooklyn Transit was bid up on continued rumors of good report, and Burlington was bought on the belief that the June report would show net earnings that would com- pare favorably with those of other roads. The selling after the bank statement seemed to be realizing, and was based on the supposition that shorts would cover on the good bank statement. The closing was heavy. As the additional deposits in the banks were largely cash, the surplus reserves ben- efited to the substantial extent of $3,406,U/o. The field of the loan expansion is not very clear. Certainly new loans did not find the way into stock market operations. The in- crease of over a million in the outstanding circulation of the banks is due to the com- pletion of plates for printing notes in Wash- ington, work on which has delayed the is- suing of notes already applied for by the banks. A recovery in sterling exchange in Paris to the high point of the week and a Sharp rise in Berlin discounts were the fea- tures of the day bearing on the question of gold exports next week. The dullness of the bond market is an evidence of the present caution of capital. The usual reinvestment of July dividends and interest, although the largest amount was disbursed this year in the country’s history, has been entirely lacking in the bond market. London and Berlin are report- ed heavy sellers of high grade American railroad bonds. But no such transactions have been recorded on the stock exchange.

CROP SITUATION WORSE. Severe Storms in the Northwest Did Great Damage, but Failed to Advance Prices. The grain markets dragged along slowly during the past week, the changes in fu- tures being small. The market was simply a traders’ market and ladgked any real strength or weakness, but was governed by the attacks of the rival grain factions. Crop news was unusually scafce, and what was received had scarcely any effect on the miarket, only temporary changes be- ing made. The situation as regards the growing grain is practically unchanged. The states of the Northwest wheat belt are in a bad condition, the effects of the early bad weather not being overcome. In the last tew days there have been severe hailstorms in that region, which have lowered the already poor prospect. John Washburn, who has just returned from a tour of the Northwest, estimates the wheat yield of North Dakota at W0,000 bushels and that of Minnesota at 60, WW0,000 bushels, and South Dakota at 29,- ve 00 to 3U.000,000 bushels. English farmers’ deliveries of whtat dur- ing ‘the past week were 204,800 busheis, against 213,000 bushels last week. The grain brought an average price of 8 cents, against an average price of 87 cents last 2u,- “eK. While the markets of this side were not inclined to go up during the past week, prices abroad, with little encouragement, ga.ned 1 cent. This was due to a variety of reasons, the most important of which was an increase of 1 cent in ocean freight rates to Liverpool. in spite of the strength abroad there was a steady decline in prices on this side, due to the continuous dumping of long wheat and failure of the small short inter- est to pick this up. While wheat was slowly going lower there was a slight change recorded in the coarse cereal. Sentiment seemed to favor néither decline nor advances, the pit being inclined to let this grain alone. Prices gradually worked lower, following the lead of the wheat market, but no sen- sational changes were recorded. Oats were very quiet and few sales were made and the changes in range were small.

NEW YORK, July 28.—Money conditions in the United States at the present time are without a parallel in the _ history of the country. From every corner of the Union comes the news that loanable funds have never been in such plenty as they are now. Bankers are lending money at lower rates than have been known since early in 1899, when the entire country was thought to be at the flood tide of prosperity. The regenerated South has experienced prosperity during the past ree months that is simply without prec@®@ent in that section of the country.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 28.—William J. Bry- an, in his letter of acceptance of the Demo- cratic nomination for President, will prob- ably call for an income tax, thus supplying an omission from the Kansas Gjty platform, The Democratic candidate voted for the income tax bill when he was in Congress and he is pronounced in its favor, as the utterances in his speeches and letters show. Mr. Bryan's sentiments on the application ! of an Income tax are as follows: “We must have an income tax. In this | we can all co-operate. This is an all-im- portant measure. We must restore the in- | come tax, so the rich will have to pay their full share of government taxation. “There are some people who have visible property, others who have invisible prop- | erty, and the visible property is always taxed. I have advocated as income tax because I have believed it the most just tax. Today if a man favors a graded in- come tax he is called a socialist or an anarchist. If he puts the tax on those who consume he is called a statesman or a financier. “The income tax fs a just law. It simply intends to put,the burdens of government justly upon the backs of the people. I am in favor of an income tax. When I finda man who is not willing to pay his share of the burden of the government which protects him, I find a man who ts unworthy | to enjoy the blessings of a government like ours. ‘‘The income tax is not new, nor is i based upon hostility to the rich. The sys- tem is employed in some of the most im- portant nations of Europe and every tIn- come tax law now on the statute books in any land, so far as I have been able, to ascertain, contains an exemption clause. | “While the collection of an income tax in other countries does not make it neces- Wis at fccotes anion the well-t0-00."

Se Se Es ry Arig, ‘ There is a possibility that the besieged foreigners in Pekin may have escaped to the “Forbidden” city by means of a secret underground passage which is said to have been constructed in 1865, after the war with China, as a precaution against a future outbreak of Chinese fanaticism. MARCH TO PEKIN 10 BEGIN AUGUST 5, _ >, Gen. Chaffee, American Cidade Will Probably Be Chosen to Head the Column of International Forces Numbering 6Q,000 to 80,000. Special to the Post-Dispatch WASHINGTON, July 28.—The advance on Pekin cannot be begun befure Aug. 15. This is the conclusion reacned by Washington officials today. From the advices at hand from all sources there will be from 60,000 to 80,000 troops of all nations at Tien Tsin at that time. The American army is between 4000 and 5000. Gen. Chaffee now stands a fair chance of being selected as commander of the international column. The fact that the ‘commanders have postponed a selection until his arrival is Chaffee. Beside this it is very doubtful if any one of the European powers: will agree to having an officer of any other European power at the heal «f the There is also much opposition to a Japanese circumstences combined point strongly to leader. All these | Chaffee. NO EUROPEAN WILL SATISFY. Dispatches from Admiral Remey and other sources agree that the Europeans are unable to agree upon a leader: of an Englishman and that England and Germany will not listen to a proposition to elect a Russian or Frenchman. Numerous conferences among the several commanders have been held, but, according to Admiral Remey, without other result than to widen the breach which is threatening future harmony. Secretary Hay had issued a note to the several governments interested in the Chinese matter, urging that if the commaniers in the fleld cannot agree upon the governments take up the question and solve it as quickly } as possible. There is a feeling in the war department that Gen. Chaffee is the only logical choice of the powers, notwithstanding thet his rank is not so great as that of some of the officers now in the field. or that his individual command is not «qual numerically to that of any cone of the five European powers. THE AMERICANS WHO WILL MARCH. The war department, lacking exact information owing to the means of telegraphic communication, believes ‘hat it that 'the French and Russians never will consent to the selection | | weak In artillery. “will be ordered forward without delay. | the Seventh Artillery has been ordered to San Francisco, and a leader | | now has about 6000 trained and seasoned American troops In the vicinity of Tien Tsin under the immediate command of Gen. Chaffee, assuming that the Grant has landed her pas- sengers, which she should have done if she sailed from Naga- saki on the 25th, according to the original intention. The Grant carried, in addftion to Gen, Chaffee, two squadrons of the Sixth Cavalry, 800 men in all, who are expected to prove peculiarly serviceable in the flat Chinese country. There also were on the vessel 860 unattached recruits, some mem- bers of the hospital corps and a battalion of 250 marines, making altogether 1410 fighting men. While no uneasiness is felt for the Fourteenth Regiment, due at Taku two days ago, yet it is not understood here why Col. Dagget has not reported his arrival. It is explained that he has probably reported to Gen. Mac- Arthur and that eventually the report will reach Washington after traveling through all the regular military channels. INCREASING THE ARMY’S EFFICIENCY. Steps were today taken to increase the efficiency of the army being hastened to China. All contingents composing the international army have been criticised as lamehtably This weakness, so far as the United States is concerned, will be promptly remedied. It has been decided to order two more batteries of light artillery to China. These have not yet been selected, but they Slege battery ‘“O" of will sail for Taku on the transport Belgian King, which has been rechartered for the purpose. The steamer Arrow was today chartered for use as a trans- port and will take a cargo of horses and mules to China from Seattle. The transport Lejennox, with half of Gen. Chaffee's cavalry horses on board, reported its arrival at Kobeek, Japan. The Conemaugh, with the remainder of the animals, is ex- pected to reach the same port tonight. The hospital ship Relief reported from Nagasaki and will proceed at once to Taku.

SALISBURY STRONGLY PRESSING OUR GOVERNMENT TO SUPPORT HIM. _- a a — il Germany Is Working With Russia, Japan Is Playing a Waiting Game and Nothing Can Be Done Toward Rescuing the For- eigners Who May Be Left Alive at Pekin. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, 1900.) LONDON, July 28.—There are serious dissensions among the powers con- cerning who shall be the commander-in-c hief of the allied land forces in the march on Pekin. Great Britain is urging determinedly, that as Russia has obtained control of the railway and Germany of the waterway, England’s paramount com- mercial interest entitles her to insist that the expedition shall be under a British commander. Important communications are passing between Lord Salisbury and United | States Ambassador Choate on this subject. Lord Salisbury is strongly pressing | the government at Washington to support him, but he is not altogether satisfied. | He says that with Germany working with Russia, and Japan playing a waiting game, the result is no agreement has been arrived at regarding the chief, and no advance is possible while the present condition of things lasts. The Washington dispatch repeating that the state department is convinced that the first Conger message was fraudulent has occasioned a very discouraged feeling here about the safety of the legations. Unless positive proof that the en- voys are safe is produced within the next two days all hope will vanish. There has been ample time to get authentic messages, signed and dated by the Pekin ministers. This is the only confirmation of Chinese assurances that will be acceptable. Until such advices have been received, or until the ministers have been handed over in the flesh, the general public and the governments interested will not attach any credence to further Chinese statements, or consent to stay preparations for the advance of the relief force towards Pekin. The latest story, originating in other than Chinese sources, is a special dis- patch from Chee-Foo, dated July 27, according to which Missionary Wilder, who started for Pekin, a fortnight ago, has just returned and reports that he found the imperial Chinese forces completely surrounding the Tartar city. He was anable to deliver a méssage to the legation, and, in reply to his entreaties they said they could not allow anyone a pass to the. foreigners. According to reports, the attack on the legations ceaged on the afternoon of July 14. Everything was quiet during the remainder of Missionary Wilder's stay. When he left, on July 18, a decree had been issued commanding all persons to protect the foreigners in China. Returning he saw no troops for 60 miles south of Pekin, but he learned that 20,000 men were in the neighborhood of Yan-Tsua and Peit-Sung. — €0@—— -—— HAY CONVINCED OF CHINA’S DUPLICITY, Says the Whole Wor i Is Guessing and That Ne One Knows What 4s Transpiring at Pekin. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, July 28.—The latest imperial edict, announcing that the legitimate Chinese government is supplying fruits and provisions to the lega- tioneers at Pekin, ar; “sed neither interest nor hopefulness in official circles here. The edict was gught to Scretary Hay by Mr. Wu, the Chinese minis- ter, and confirmed in a“yblegram from Consul Fowler at Cheefoo. The infor- mation was accepted without comment. The conviction that jugglery is being ortilaisl by Chinese autlhiorities has materially lessened the interest in advices coming from those sources. A statement furnished by Mr. Warren, acting British consul at Shanghai to the state department that he had been informed of the contents of Secretary Hay’s message and the reply before either communication could have reached its recipient, is regarded as an absolute indication of jugglery.

Gefense and will not quiences.”’ Hulbert is at the Henrietta Hospital, East St. Louis, and may die. Holton'’s body is at Kurrus’ morgue, also in last ft. Louis. Jacks is at his home under med- ical attendance. Hvlbert’s work with the revolver caused more excitement than anything that ever occurred in the quiet little suburb of Den- verside. The place where the shooting took place is known as ‘'Fire Station,’ and is at the eastern ecge of Denverside, near the terminus of the electric line, which runs out from East St. Louis. “Fire Station” is sparsely settled. There are only half a dozen houses there. Uul- bert, with his young wife, lived in one of them. In another Jerry Jacks and his family reside. Two of the others are occu- pied as saloons. One of them, some dis- tance from the other houses, is conducted by an egro, Addison Thompson. The other is owned by Joseph Geppert, a prominent and wealthy resident ot Denverside. He spends little time there, thovgh. Thomas Jones, barkeeper, and his 16-year-old s0n, conduct it for him. Murderer Began to Drink. Hulbert, a machinist by trade, has worked for some time in the Medart Patent Pulley Co.’s factory in this city. Friday evening he received a week's wages. Sat- urday morning he dic not go to work. Be- fore noon he visited severa! East St. Louis saloons and early in the afternoon returned to the neighborhood of his home. About 3 o'clock he entered Geppert’s sa- loon. Young Jones was behind the bar, and Holton, the medicine peddler, display- ing his stock to Geppert and others. Hul- bert bought a drink for the crowd and Went out. In-a short time he returned. The senior Jones had meantime taken his place behind the counter. There were more drinks, and un argument resulted as to who should pay for the last round. Jones said it was ‘on’ Hulbert. Hulbert called Jones a liar and the lat- ter slapped his face and ordered him out of the store. Hulbert doggedly obeyed the order. In a few moments he came back again. He ciaimed somebody had stolen a knife. The old medicine peddler was showing Jones the merits of an indelible writing fluid when Hulbert turned on the old man and accused him of having the knife. A second time Jones angrily ordered Hul- bert, who was now drunk, to leave the lace. 3y this time Hulbert’s wife had Ceara the quarreling in her home nearby and had entered the saloon. Forced His Wife to Get Revolver. She begged her husband to go home. In- stead, with a vile oath, he ordered her to go to their home and get his revolver.

Holton continued to go forward and Hul- bert leveled his pistol at the aged peddler and pulled the trigger. His aim was perfect. Holton tumbled over in the road a corpse. The bullet had pierced his heart. Without stopping to ascertain the extent of Holton’s injury, Hudbert turned back toward his home. As he passed the home of Jerry Jacks he called to him. Jacks came to his front door and Hulbert invited him to come into his (Hulbert’s house), as he had something serious to tell him about. Jacks responded promptly. But. it seems, just as he entered Hulbert’s cottage that excited individual rushed at him, revolver in hand, and summarily ordered him from the premises. Jacks lost no time in departing, but even at that he was too slow for his own wel- fare, as Hulbert fired at him as he was dodging into his house, The bullet entered Jacks’ — we J ass- ing through it and grazing the left leg. Fear of Arrest Caused Suicide. After indulging in this human _ target practice Hulbert seemingly began to real- ize that he had got himself in_ serious trouble. He sat down at a small table in his room and wrote something on a sheet of A. O. U. W. letter head he had in the house. Then he went out in the woodshed. In a few moments his wife heard a shot. She summoned neighbors. They hurried to the shed and found Hulbert stretched on the ground unconscious. The revolver was by his side and blood was oozing out of a gaping wound in his left temple. Barkeeper Jones, the man with whom Huribert first had trouble, and who es- caped injury, had meanwhile gone to East St. Louis for an officer. The policg declined to respond as the scene of the crime was outside the city limits. Finally he secured Deputy Sheriff Jerry Kane. Kane hastened to Denverside and took charge of the unconscious mur- derer. Finding him dangerously injured, he summoned an ambulance and forwarded him to the Henrietta Hospital in East St. Louis, a prisoner. = 8 grief-stricken wife accompanied m Holton’s remains were taken to Kurrus’ Morgue, where they will be held untii the authorities can learn if he has any rela- tives who wish to inter the remains. Should Hulbert recover he will be placed in the St. Clair County jail at Belleville to answer a charge of murder in the first de- gree. At 616 Locust street last night no Infor- mation about Holton could be obtained. The premises at that number are occupied by the George W. Sanders Duck and Rub- ber Co. A nightwatchman was the only — about the place and he did not know olton. MRS. BENEDICTE WAS STOICAL Italian Woman Bore Pain of a Broken Arm Because She Couldn’t Speak English.

ED THAT IMPORTANT FACT. CC —— Witness Golden Offered $5000 to Leave the State by L. F. Sinclair, Now One of Powers’ Attorneys. GEORGETOWN, Ky., July 28.—The pros- ecution in the trial of ex-Secretary of State Caleb Powers, charged with being an acces- sory to the murder of William Goebel, con- cluded its evidence in chief this afternoon. The defendant will take the stand Monday and testify in his own behalf. Three weeks have been consumed in the preliminaries attending the selection of the jury and hear- ing the evidence that has been introduced by the prosecution. The prosecution, through T. C. Campbell gave out the following statement tonight after resting its case: ‘ “It is proven that the shot came from tle office of the defendant, Caleb Powers. “1. By direct testimony of two wit- nesses who saw the rifle, when fired, and by eight others who located the place of hiring by the sound. “2. By the following facts: The win- dow sill from whence the bullet was fired is 18 feet 9 inches higher than the point where it struck the tree, distance 197 feet. The descent of the bullet was such that it would cross the spot where Goebel fell 58% inches above the pavement. The autopsy found the point of entrance in Goebel’s breast 62% inches from the soles of his feet added the elevation gained by the socks and shoes you get 531-16 inches. “J. The cartridge which was used in kill- ing Goebel was a meta] jacket, loosely fitted, a steel smokeless cartridge, a kind not used by the militia of Kentucky. This fact is established by: ‘‘(a) The defendant Powers asked Robert Noakes to get him steel cartridges in De- cember of 1899. ‘(b) Youtsey. who had the key to Powers’ office, did procure from a gun store in Cin- cinnati steel cartridges, so-called 38-55, on the ?3d day of January, 1900. ‘“(c) The bullet fired from the office of the secretary of state and found imbedded in the tree is a metal-jacketed bullet, 38-55. ‘“(d) The size of the opening of wounds of entrance and exit was the same, viz., three-eighths of an inch, 38-caliber. Had a leaden bullet been used the wound of exit would have been larger. ‘“(e) That the cartridge used was smoke- less is evidenced by the fact that of the many witnesses looking at the point from whence the rifle was fired, none saw smoke. “Youtsey, a clerk and stenographer, point- ed out to W. 1. Cariton, who was with W. S. Taylor's confidential man, that the “slickest plan for the murder of Goebel which he could think of would be to raise the window in the secretary of state's of- = the blind, point the rifle and re, “This was the exact plan pursued tn killing Goebel. Youtsey had the key to Powers’ office given to him by Powers’ brother on the day before Goebel was shot. Powers’ letters to his lady friends and others in which he declared the disorganized condi- tion of the Democratic party after the shooting of, but before the death of Goebel was due more to him than to any one else shows that for a time he believes he had earned the plaudits which should be given to a hero, and that the killing of Goebel was really as meritorious as the cabal ~~“ taught themselves and others it would e. ¢ “The testimony of W. H. Culton, assist- ant auditor of state, that Powers a few agays before the shooting of Goebel quar- reled with Taylor and was going to send for the mountain men is pregnant. His description of the quarrel, the efforts he made to bring the two men together, the fact that Powers damned Taylor as a fellow without any backbone and the damning of Powers by Taylor as a hot- headeu fool, is a circumstance taken into connection with the other matters testi- tied to by Culton, which establishes a con- spiracy beyond doubt. To overcome it Culton’s testimony must be destroyed. “The testimony of Noake, who for 12 years was the friefid and companion of Finley and Powers, his declaration that Powers desired desperate men from his company to be retained for the purpose o? murder, his further statement that Powers declared the contest would end as quickly as Goebel was killed, means the convic- tion of Powers, unless Powers can break Noakes down. “The testimony of Wharton Golden, the lifetime companion of Powers, his able ad- jutant in all of the maneuvers to bring the mountain army, his confidant in his lonely walks to the cemetery, the man he took with him to Louisville, the man to whom he confessed that he would go to Franklin an‘l Polsgrove, the state and county office and tell all, proves the guilt of Powers. “To escape, Powers must destroy Golden’s testimony. The testimony of Representa- tive Hampton of Knox County shows the murderous propensity of Taylor, Power's chief, when Taylor asked him (Hampton) to go to the Legislature, bring on a fight and kill enough of his opponents to give him security, is of so startling a nature that one might not believe it were it not for the fact that no man in eastern Kentucky has better established a reputation for strict honesty and truth than has Luke Hamp- ton. All the Powers, Finleys and Taylors who can be found in Kentucky united to- gether cannot break down Luke Hampton. “The close intimacy existing between Powers and Youtsey is more than a thrice- fold tale in the evidence of this case. Pow- 'ers is abundantly connected with the pal who fired the shot, whether that pal be Youtsey, Jim Howard or Dick Combs. one or the other of the three, Powers was an accessory before the fact. He furnished Youtsey the key to get into his office. He conveniently left his office on the fatal day, so that the pretense could be made that the office was closed and the drawn blind could | be accounted for. Mr. Powers should not be condemned. p | however, before the case is finished. possible but highly improbable.

In 1897 Mrs. Frances EB. Day of 1426 North Ninth street made application through O’Brien & O’Brien for a widow's pension. She was the wife of George 8. Day, whom she believed to be dead. A man of precisely the same name and the identical description had been killed by the raltilroad cars. Mrs. Day believed that it was her husband. A few days after filing the application she re- turned to the office of the lawyers and withdrew it, having discovered that her husband was still alive.

He has lived at 409 North Levee and at other lodging houses on the Levee for years, but now he is sup- posed to be on an umbrella mending trip in the country. Day is 5 years old. He was a private in Company C, Eighth Iowa Cavalry, dur- ing the civil war. He is a man of good education and formerly held a responsible position as bookeeper for a local concern. Just why Day separated from his wife, who is still living, many years ago, and took up the business of mending umbrellas is a matter that concerns no one except the two principals. ay has been a well known character among the traveling fraternity for a dozen years, walking over the city and along highroads between country towns, solicit- ing umbrellas to mend. He its a short man with shaggy beard turned gray, and has acquired a stoop during his long career of weary walking. There is another romance connected with Day's life. It is of the Damon and Py- thias character. Down on the Levee everybody knows the old umbrella mender. They have noted a marked change in Day since the drowning of John Dugan, his companion and busi- nesss partner, near the foot of Olive street a year ago. John Dugan was of about the same age as Day. The two had pur- sued the umbrella mending business to- gether for many years. They were in- separable. They walked together over dusty highways, slept together along the roadside, shared their frugal fare and when luck was against them they went hungry and took solace !n companionship. When one passed along the street carrying his kit of tools and his pack of old umbrella parts it could be taken for granted that the other was not far away. On the Levee the people still talk of Dugan and Day, and Day's prospective age has been the topic of many a alk. Yesterday when the Post-Dispatch in- quired for Day in one of his Levee haunts the inquiry was eagerly made: ‘“‘Has he got it?’’ Day's pension had not been mentioned The man making the inquiry said that Dav had been dreaming of that pension for years and that he would be a happy man him. Mrs. Day now lives at Windsor Springs, near Kirkwood, where she is housekeeper for Oliver Errience. Two years ago Day was {ll and his wife took him into the house and nursed him. Later she sent him to a hospital, where she paid his ex- — until he was able to resume his work. fre ISS M'CREERY’S BODY Brought to St. Louis by Sorrowing Parents, and Will Be Interred in Bellefontaine.

Wedding Presents Were Numerous and Some of Them Were Expensive —Two Americans Were Present. Special Cable to the Post-Dispaten. iY@ (Copyright, 1900.) ——- July 2s.—The marriage of Lady Rand@fph Churchill and Ljeut. Cornwallis West, at St. Paul’s Church, Knight Bridge, today was a depressing ceremony. Lady Randolph was the only cheery person. She Was especially so when the knot was tied. Lieut. West was noticeably younger look- ing than the bride's son, Lieut. Winston Spené@er Churchill, and quite boyish in his demeanor. He seemed delicate and some- what .nervous, while Lady Randolph was; self-possessed and pleased with’ herself. Young Winston Church- ill Was almost marked in his at- ten # to his mother, showing en he- mals decire to put the best face on the in- evitable. THe Duke of Marlborough, who is a neph- ew of the bride’s former husband, was dressed in gray tweed, and wore a colored shirt»: He hurried away as soon as possible after*the ceremony, not going to «he break- fast. The church was almost empty, searce- ly half the 86 reserved seats in ne front pews being occupied. An immense’ crowd was outside, and a faint attempt was made to ¢hée@r Lady Churchill on her arrival and departure, but there was no spirit jn the af- fair, the desire being to hurry through quickly. The breakfast at the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. Moreton Frewen, was attended chiefly by the Churchill connectioas, includ- ing Lady Sarah Wilson, looking none the worse after her Mafeking experiences, Lady Churchill got no regular trousseav, only a wedding dress. The church was sparsely adorned with alms and white blossoms. Mr. Winston pencer Churchill, eldest son of the bride, entered the church just before his mother, who approached the chancel, leaning upon the ag. of the Duke of Marlborough. Th . uke of Marlborough gave away the bride. The service was fully choral. The churéh had been decorated with tall palms and penk flowers. Rey. Mr. Shephard, sub- deacon of the Royal Chapel of St. James, was Agaisted by Prebendary Villiers of St. Paul's; inr performing the marriage cere- mony. Lieut. H. ©.

The bridegroom's fathcr and mother departed from Ruthin Castle Friday to stay in Ireland. A joint wedding present arranged by the Duchess of Devonshire is a $200,000 pearl amd diamond tiara. Subscribers of £25 each included’ Arthur’ Balfour, Ladies Chelsea, Tweedmouth, Carew, Devonsnire, Georgiana Curzon, Essex, Dudley, London- derry, Wimborm, Lilly, Duchess of Marl- borough and Mrs, Paget.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 28.—Chairman Jones, ex-Gov. Stone of St. Louis, Urey Woodson of Kentucky and other Democratic leaders continued their conferences tgday/in the Hioffman House. Senator Jones is bending ail his energies to bring Croker and Hill to an agreement, Hill came from Nor- mandie-by-the-Sea especially to meet Jones, ixx-Senator Murphy and Croker were invited to attend today’s conference, Lut they failed to put in an appearance, and Cigairman Jones had to journey to Ll- beron to see them, “Things might be more the Democratic party in this state than they are,’’ said Senator Jones. ‘Il donot think, however, that the differences be- tween the leaders are of a very serious character. 1 am quite confident that the differences will be subordinated to a gen- eral desire for the success of the party in the state and the nation.”’ “Is it true that the national committee has hopes of securing the services of Car Schurz and Bourke Cockran?”’ the reporter asked. Chairman Jones thought for a few mo- ments before he replied: “We would like very much to have them on the stump for us. Mr. Hill refused to talk about his con- ference with Chairman Jones. ‘“‘Just Say, he added, ‘“‘that we had a little talk. l um not now talking politics for pubiication. There is no doubt that the conference Was of more political importance than the cone ferees would admit. : It is said that ex-Senator Hill asked Chairman Jones many pointed questions rega@ing Mr. Bryan and the plans for the campaign. According to one of the con- ferees, Jones told Hill that Mr. Bryan tn his speech of acceptance would touch very lightly on the financial question. He also assured Hill that Mr. Bryan would devote most of his speech of acceptance to the paramount issue—imperialism. The question of securing the services olf Bourke Cockran as a campaign speaker was also considered. Ex-Senator Hiil was of the opinion that Mr. Cockran could be of great service to the ticket. He admitted that he had corresponded with Mr. Cock- ran on the subject. Croker will strongly oppose any attempt of the national committee to put CocKran on the stump. Croker and Tammany have announced at various times that as long as they could prevent it Cockran’s voice would never again be heard at a regular Democratic meeting. It was said by a member of the Democratic state commit- tee that a reconciliation between Mr. Hill and Croker might lead to the nomination of Comptroller (‘oler of this city for governor of New York. harmonious in > NOTIFICATION AT TOPEKA Mr. Bryan Will Go There to Meet the Populists—Towne Withdrawal Not Settled—The Real Issues.

DENVER, Colo., July 2.—The Young People’s Christian Union committee on reforms reported resolutions Which were adopted, favoring Sabbath observance, urging young people to abstain from the use of tobacco and advocating prohibition of liquor traffic. The resolutions further declare: ‘We lament the establishment of the canteen system In the camps of the United States army and along with thousands of other Christian people of the land we dé- precate with earnest feeling the official action in regard to the canteen that not only disregarded the moral interests of our brave soldiers, but nullified the will of the people as formally and authoritatively expressed in the law of Congress.”’ Rev. McKenzie Clelland of Chicago offered a resolution recommending that the motto, “God, whose I am and whom I serve,’ be adopted in place of the unton’s present motto, “Whose we are and whom we serve,’’ which he characterized as ungram- matical, meaningless, Godless and “a per- version of the holy scriptures.”’ The resolution was unanimously adopted and the question is thus referred to the next general synod of the United Presby- terian Church.

May Beach, The Barrister and Hi Knock-er were scratched, but at the a sucas, owner of the minute Mr. Joe that bis entry had a chance and re-entered him for the stake. Hi Koller was played heavily by the students of form, while Triaditza was speculated on by those who were familiar with her recent Chicago trials. Verify and Caphon were about the only two others that received much following. When Starter Bruen released the barrier, to the most miserable start of the meeting, jeaving Capron and Hi Knock-er practical ly at the post, Hi Koller at once made the running, being closely pursued by Hotten- ot and Verify. ‘ Coming into the stretch Hottentot led by a nose from Hi Koller, who was a length in front of Eugenie Wickes. Hi Knock-er came to the stretch with cyclonic speed and would have unques- tionably won had he received anywhere near an even break. The finish was a magnificent one, a blan- ket would have covered the seven speedy contenders. Eugenie Wickes won by an eyelash from Hi Koller, who nosed out Hottentot. ; . The first solar. plexus blow to the talent was in the initial event of the day, when Dan Iron’s bay colt, Dinornis, won_at the lucrative price of 7 to 1. Rodd and Leonag were played for good things, but the best they could do was to finish second and third. “The blow that nearly killed father’’ was in’ the second race, when Kisme was ig- nominiously deefated by Lary Kavanagh's Apple Jack. ity on form, looked to be the best bet of the day, and was heavily backed at 1 to 2. while as good as 8 to 1 was slated against the winner. zi Jockey Woods, who was astride Kisme, was severely criticised for his easy ride of the favorite. He got off well with the horse and was never interfered with any part of the journey. The sudden reversal of form of Kisme will probably be heard from in the near future. : The life-saver of the day for the public was in the third contest, when Haviland, at 5 to 2. won handily from Bridgeton and Gilbert. Cresus was heavily played, but sulked all the way to the stretch. where she showed a wonderful burst of speed. The fourth raca was unquestionably the best race of the day, and it was as good as 4 to 1 and take your pick against any of the starters. Charlie O’Brien and Lady Callahan spread-eagled jtheir field’ to the stretch, where the other contenders closed in on them. The finish was a grand one, Laureate winning by a nose trom Go- to-bed and Sir Rolla. Crowhurst’s ride on Laureate was a masterly one and conclu- sively showed the public that when he tries he is one of the best ‘Knights of the pig- skin’’ at the track. Following the stake race came the handi- cap at six and a half furlongs. Lord Neville and St. Cuthbert were heavily played, but the winner turned up in F. M. Arthur's con- — gelding Ohnet, who was quoted at 8 to In the concluding event of the day eleven 2-year-olds were saddled for the purse. ‘I'he speculation was very brisk, as the half- holiday contingent were eager to retrieve their losses on the day. Eva’s Darling and Adelante were the favorite ones of the race, while a few lucky players wagered on Or- leans at the inviting price of 15 to 1. The filly won in a hard drive from Adelante, who defeated Robert, Jr., by a length for the second position.

GENTLEMEN’S DRIVING CLUB. races Season’s Records Were Broken at the Matinee Saturday Afternoon. Some records for the season of 1900 were lowered yesterday afternoon at the matinee races given by the Gentlemen’s Driving Club at Forest Park, both in the trotting and pacing events.

NEW YORK, July 28.—At Brighton Beach today the Neptune stakes of $5000 for 2- year-olds and the Peconic stakes for 3- year-olds were the fixtures. In the former seven good youngsters started, with Tom- my Atkins a hot favorite. Alard Scheck, the fast western colt, made his debut in the East, with Tommy Burns in the saddle. They were off on the first break to a good start.

THE NEW RACE COURSE. It Will Be Ready to Race Over by Sept. 1. Mr. Joseph D. Lucas, the master of Goodwood, who is said to be at the head of the syndicate that is to build the new mile track near Normandy, was at the Fair Grounds Saturday. While there he was worried to death by reporters and others seeking information about the new race course. To the sport- ing editor of the Post-Dispatch Mr. Lu- cas said: “TIT will have no information to give out until next week. will only say now that the money to build and equip the new course in a @&rst-class way has already~-been subscribed. “Among the gentlemen who have taken stock in the new venture are many repre- sentative business men of St. Louis. Sev- ral well-known owners of thoroughbreds who recognize the need of a second race course here have also subscribed. ‘The track will be built. “It will be built at once. “It will be ready to race over. by Sept. 1. But hold on. I have said now more than I ought to. Please wait until next week and then I'll give you all the de- tails.” The rumor that the new race course would be ready to race over by Sept. 1 spread all over the Fair Grounds Saturday and owners, trainers and every one else appeared delighted at the good news. One of the veteran turfmen at the track when asked if the new venture in his opin- jon would be a paying one, sald: “It will clear itself the first year. Prop- erly equipped and managed by officials of acknowledged ability and integrity it will be a gold mine.” Western Rowing Club.

HARNESS HORSES AT CLEVELAND Prince Alert Went Mile in Hopples in 2:02, Breaking Record. CLEVELAND, O., July 28.—The last day of the grand circuit meeting was marked by another sensational performance. The world’s record for pacers in hopples, which was broken on Tuesday by Coney, when he went a mile in 2:02%, was again lowered by Prince Albert today, when he covered the track in 2:02. The 2:04 pace was the great race of the meeting. The ten entries dwindled to three starters, with Anaconda, a prohibitive favorite, Indiana and Prince Alert. Prince Alert won the first heat with ease in 2:08. In the second heat Prince Alert rushed to the front, going the quarter in 30 seconds and the half in 1:014%. The McHenry be- gan to drive Anaconda. The three-quarters was reached in 1:31%. Both horses came down the stretch like the wind. Walker did not touch Prince Alert with the whip until he was within four or five lengths of the wire. On the other hand, McHenry was doing everything in his power to push Anaconda to the front. The two pacers went under the wire so close together that many specta- tors thought Anaconda had won. The judges, however, gave the heat to Prince Alert and marked up the time as 2:02. In the 2:18 trot Palm Leaf was the favor- ite, but it took seven heats to decide who was the victor. Johnny Agan won the 2:13 pace so easily that it deprived the event of its interest.

NEW YORK, July 28.—Patsy Tebeau’s St. Louis Terrors gave the Brooklyn rooters a scare today at Washington Park. With the champions’ six runs to the good in the fourth inning the Terrors made a spurt in the fifth and tied the score before anybody realized what was going on. But it was only a flash and the Terrors made no more runs in the game. For the Champions Demont touched the ball for a single in the sixth. Duke Far- rell followed with a ripping triple, scor- ing Demont, and Jones’ bang to center tal- lied Farrell. This cluster of raps gave Brooklyn the victory, 8 to 6. The Champions had no difficulty in con- necting with Johnny Powell's curves from the start. Keeler and Jennings opened up with three-baggers in the first inning, and in every inning thereafter Powell's wide curve was found for one or more hits. Cri- ger’s accurate throwing to bases had much to do with keeping Brooklyn’s score down. Four times he nailed ambitious base-steal- ers by throws to second. Three of Tim Hurst’s decisions on these plays were strongly disputed by Capt. Joe Kelley in the regular old Pop Anson nagging way of years ago. Ball players don’t seem to be able to get it through their heads that rushing at the umpire after every close play decided against them is very much back number. McGinnity got away from the Terrors with a six-hit game but gave just the same number of bases on balls. All the visitors’ hits but two, as well as all their runs, were made in one inning, the fifth. A base on balls to Wallace, McGann’'s scratch hit and a free pass to Powell filled the sacks. McGraw’s sharp smash over second scored Wallace and McGann. Sin- gles by Burkett, Donovan and Keister brought in four more runs. A one-hand stop and snap to first made on the run by Dahlen and a great run- ning catch by Keeler were the fielding features.

PITTSBURG, Pa., July 28.—The record for the longest fly of a homing pigeon was broken here today. The bird, Red Boy, owned by J. M. Skiles, reached its loft after a trip from Denver. The bird was one of a large number liberated from the Colorado city two days ago. It is in good shape, but thoroughly exhausted, owing to the storms. Skiles wins the world's championship of- fered by J. Pierpont Morgan of New York, and the $700 challenge cup offered by John Wanamaker of Philadelphia. The bird not only becomes winner of the world’s challenge cup, presented by J. PF. Morgan of New York, but also the $70 cup offered by John Wanamaker of Phila- delphia, and a champaign dinner for all the members of the Pittsburg Homing Club, Mr. Skiles said today: ‘Red Roy will never fly again, although he finished un- harmed. He is the greatest bird of his kind the world has ever produced,” Sports at Paris Exposition. PARIS.

SAYS SHE TOLD A_ LIE. but Denies That He Was Severe and Claims He Was Justified. Gustave A. Hesser, a carpenter living at 809 North Fifteenth street, passed several unpleasant hours yesterday in a cell at the Carr strect station. He is charged by representatives of the Woman's Humane Society with having cru- whipped his foster daughter, Rose eae aged 15 years. It is alleged that he’ used a rope, and the child's body {fs black and blue from the effects of the beat- ellyv | ing. ' he | the | the ar’s | ' | dash, Hesser frankly admitted to the police that struck the child several times across arms with the rope, but denfes that punishment was unusually severe. He was arrested at the instance of J. F. Pearce and Mrs. Roste Thomas of 2813 Lu- cas avenue, who are connected with the Humane Society. Hesser was released last night on bond and will be tried Monday morning in the Second District police court. “I gave the child what she deserved,’ he said to the Post-Dispatch, ‘“‘but the rope the police say I used was only cord. Yes, the blows left marks on her arms, but oth- erwise she is unhurt.’’” “What led you to whip the girl?” Hes- ser was asked. “Well, she told me a lie and I thought I had the right to chastise her. She went around telling the neighbors that my wife had tkrown her on the floor and stamped on her face. I! adopted Rose a month ago, having procured Gor from Mrs. Otto's home at 2713 Lucas avenue.”’ “Where is the child now?’ ‘“T sent her back to Mrs. Otto; I do not want to have her around me again because she is incorrigible.’’ PHOTO-ENGRAVERS’ Will Be Held at Fern Glen Sunday. The members of Photo-Engravers’ Union No. 10, I. T. U., will give their second annual picnic and outing at Fern Glen, on the Meramec, Sunday. The principal feature of the day's pro- gram will ,be the athletic events of which there are six. Some of the cracks of the city will compete, the Turners being espe- cially well represented in the entries, The athletic program consists of a 10- yard hurdle race, free for all; 100-yard for members: ladies’ race, 50 yards; ‘ard dash for boys; sack race, W yards, PICNIC.

A feature of the day's outing that will be well worth seeing will be the game of ball between teams representing the longravers’ Union and the Post-Dispatch chapel of the Typographical Union. The players of both teams have been practicing for weeks for the event, and the contest on the diamond promises to Dancing will be in the best gravers are contested the evening. be hotly order in — Furrows A farmer is known by his furrow as “the carpenter is known by his chips.” It takes a firm hand and a true eye to turn a straight furrow. No wonder the farmer wears out, spite of exercise and fresh air. One day’s work on the farm would tire many a trained athlete. And the farmer works hardest of all. The first up and the last to bed, feeding his team before he feeds himself, his work is practically never done. Why does not the farmer treat his own body as he treats the land | He puts back in phos | awe what he takes out im crops, or the | The farmer | he cultivates? and would grow poor. should put back into his body the vital elements exhausted by labor. If he does not, he will soon complain of “poor health.” ‘The great value of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medica! Discovery is in its vital- izing power. It gives strength to the stomach, life to the lungs, purity to the blood. It supplies Nature with the sub- stances by which she builds up the body, just as the farmer supplies Nature with the substances that buiid up the crops. "I write to tell you of the great benefit I re- ceived from the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med- ical Discovery.” writes Mr. G. B. Bird, of Byrn- side, Putnam Co... W.Va. "It cured me of a very bad case of indigestion associated with torpid liver. Before I began the use of ‘Golden Med- ical Discovery ' I had no appetite; could not sleep nor work but very little. The little that I ate did not agree with me, bowels constipated, and life was a misery tome. I wrote to Dr Pierce ving the symptoms, and asked for advice ie advised me to try the ‘Golden Medical Die covery’ so I began the use of it and after taking four bottles I felt so well that I went to work, but soon got worse, so l again began the use of it and used it about eight weeks lounger, when I was permanently cured.” Dr. Pierce’s Pieasant Pellets in - A apes wm liver and bowels. hen you require a pill, At druggists. | Pa. | strike and spare game. | were successful in getting hold of a good bunch of money in the intercit ‘tween Chicago and i, pleasant for the visitors Is worthy MR, CARROLL S SANGUINE i Ways. and ines Chairman Confers With Delegates, DELEGATE GUTKE’S CLAIMS. CARROLL WILL NOT CONSULT D&.- PARTMENT HEADS. Announces That Their Opinions About Appropriations Are Not Desired and That the City Has Plenty of Revenue. After a three hours’ conference with mefile bers of the House of Delegates, Chairman Charles E. Carroll of the Council ways and means committee announced yesterday af-- ternoon that the annual appropriation bill would be completed at a joint committee meeting to be held at 9 o'clock Monday morning, and would be reported to the Council Tuesday. Councilmen Wiggins and Gast, Mr. Car- roll's co.leagues on the ways and means committee, were both absent “rom Satur- day afternoon's conference. Mr. Carroll, in explanation, said that they nad Been kept away by business duties. Their failure to attend did not seem to hamper the work done in the committee room, as preliminary estimates for every branch of the city g0V- ernment, except the waterworks, vere pre- pared before the meeting adjourned. Delegates Hartmann, J. K. Murrell, Faulkner and Gutke were present when the conference commenced at 1 oclock, but Hartmann and Faulkner left early, and the chief work of the afternoon vas done by Carroll and the remaining two dé¢.cgeates. The details of the park department's ap- propriation caused a iively controversy in the committee room. De.egate Gutke, who is from the southern portion of tne city, objected to the items for Carondelet and O'ration Parks. The proposed uppropria- tion for O'’Falion Park waa $000, wnie Ca- rondelet Park was on the tist for a smatier gum. CGutke urged that his end of town Should receive as much money for park im- peovements as the northern portion, and @ comprumise sum which will peace the two parks on an equality was finally named. “We are going to get through the year on the money which will come in through ordinary channels of revenue,’ said Chair- man Carroll after the conference: “1 have been able to point out to Comptroster Sturgeon some items in which he under- estimated the revenue, in one case through a mistake in figuring out the assessment. This will not greatly increase our funda, but it willl be something. We are not giving any hearings’ to heads of depart- ments. That was wapt. Hodges’ plan, and 1 think tt is the reason why the bill has been pending in committee for two aR now. All the heads of departmerts say that their work can't be carried on with- out this and that. We will have a chance to see whether they can get through the year or not, as all of them have their appropriations cut.”’ Under the head of street department appropriations, the items for street cross- ings became the subject of contention, and in this case, also, Delegate Gutke claimed that the south end cf town was not get- ting its fair share. He referre.. es y to a number of crossings on South Broad- way, below its junction with Jefferson avenue. The item of courts will probably suffer the least reduction of all the important provisions of the bill. It was found that very little reduction could made in the cost of conducting the courts, and the small saving which was made will be nearly offset by the provision for new quarters for the First District Police Court. It is anticipated that the “mayor's con- tingent fund, which the present Assembly has several times shown an inclination to play tricks with, will be placed at a smalli- er figure in the forthcoming Dill than in any recent year, and that the customary amount from $10,000 to $12,000 will be nearly cut in two. Chairman Carroll and his colleagues in Saturday's conference say they oxpegs the bill to go through the Council and House without delay tn the form in which they will present it Tuesday. If this expecta- tion is fulfi}led the employes of the city will have their payday within a week of the usual first of the month. * MOTHER BRAVES DIPHTHERIA Mrs. Stocksick Is Nursing Her Chil- dren at the City Hospital.

The avérage contributed by the congregation, it is claimed, did not ex- ceed $5 or $6 a month. The church is a branch of the Syrio-Ma- ronite and is the only one of the oriental branches which acknowledges the sover- eignity of the Church of Rome. The Maronites are members of a reli- gious order founded by a native of Syria, named Maron. The majority of the fol- lowers reside on Mount Lebanon and in parts of Syria and speak the Arabic lan- guage. Father Emanuel is a member of St. An- EF. KHOURY. (The Leader of the Rebellion.) thony’s order, whose members wear robes similar to those connected with the regular monastic communities. The ritual is not different from that of the Catholic church save that it is of greater length and {s conducted in Arabic instead of Latin. St. Anthony's was the first and is the only Syrian Church in §t. Louis, It was established here by Father Eman- uel in the fall of 1897, the church authorities believing that the Syrian colony would) own. Father Emanuel’s ‘right to found the church was received from Father Gabriel Peter Karkenas, vicar in the United States of His Beatitude, John Peter, Patriarch of Antioch. A young man by the name of F. Khoury, living at 610 South Fourth street, has taken a firm stand against Father Emanuel, and saves with a rather confident air that “none of the Syrians will go to Father Emanuel's Church in the future.” 5 * Khoury is a medical student, 2 years Aside from his professional duties, he the bookkeeper for N. Ferris, a merchandise dealer on South Fourth street, He speaks English fluently and seems to appear pra@d of the fact that he is looked upon as a leader in the present embroglio. “We are tired of Father Hmanuel,”” he said to the Post-Dispatch, “and wanted him removed long ago. None of the Syrt- ans will support him or the Syrian Church. Why? Because he has humillated us. has gone out and told the Americans that we are poor, indolent and careless. We will not stand for that kind of talk and that is why the revolt has become general. “Why. there are a score of Syrians, eacn worth $10,000 or $15,000. We are not a beg- garly people. “Shortly after Father Emanuel assumed charge we asked him to appoint a treas- urer, bookkeeper and secretary to look aft- er the church finances and other matters and we would pay him a regular salary. He refused and we appointed a treasurer any- how. Mr. A. A.

We want the people to know that we can and will support a priest if we like him and approve his methods.’ Others who expressed themselves as un- willing to attend Father Emanuel’s church are: A. A. Saar, Joseph Wahaba, N. Howah, George Emmet, B. Beheter, N. Ferris, Charles Sussie, Albert Abbod. Father Emanuel received a Post-Dispatch representative in his room, which is directly over the church. He is a man of medium build with a massive head. His face is sparsely covered by a growth of dark beard. Asked as to the alleged differences existing between himself and parishioners, he said: “If they have a just grievance their proper recourse is to prefer charges against me with Archbishop Kain or the vicar-general I will not enter into an explanation of all the absurd things that have been said against me. It is sufficient to say that the malicious reports circulated are false. How- ever, I believe I have no real enemies. Father Head, rector of the Annunciation Church is a warm friend of Father Eman- uel, and speaks of him in the highest terms. . J. lL. Potter of 1226 South Broadway, who is, perhaps, the only American who at- tends services at the Syrian Church said: “T have known Father Emanuel for two years, and he is a model pastor. I do not think this insurrection will amount to any- thing. The Syrians simply have not, and will not, contribute to Father Emanuel's support, and this is the whole cause of the discontent. The most Father Emanuel ever received from the members was $i7 in one month. It cannot be denied that the mem- bers of the church are’ poor, and that most of the women do the work. Father Emanuel’s ideas are, perhaps, too broad for them.” —— DRINK _ ABIT CURED Mere. May Hawkins Will Help Every Woman Save a Drunkard.

Nursed When Sick, Caught Try- ing to Rob the “Mosque.” Chauncey I. Filley, one-time Republican autocrat, has received a new demonstration of the truth of all that the poets have said about the bitterness of man’s ingratl- tude. This particular experience of the “old man” has nothing to do with politics. it is safe to say, however, that the ex-boss was never more disgusted with exhibitions of political perfidy than he is with the way in which Richard Davenport, a colored protege and household favorite, has repaid his kindness. Da@irport is the boy who was arrested Saturday morning while x ey! to break into a basement window of the Filley resi- dence at 2700 Chestnut street. Since his arrest it has developed that he has been the recipient of many favors from the man whose house he attempted to rob. Nearly three years ago young Davenport was given a job as a chore boy around the Beaumont street residence, then known far and wide as the ‘‘Mosque.”’ Before he had fairly learned his routine tasks he was taken sick. He had no friends to care for him and his new employer had him sent to a private hospital, where he remained for nearly a month. When the boy was well again his em- loyer sent him to a night school, paying is tuition. Mr. Filley’s experience seemed to prove the correctness of the old saying about the difficulty of making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. The boy turned out badly in spite of all that was done for him, and a few months ago he was dis- charged for good. Nothing has been heard of him around the Filley house since until his effort at burglary on Saturday. Mr. Filley. takes Davenport's ingratitude philosophically, merely remarking that the young negro has bitten the hand that fed him, a line of conduct with which he has had some previous experience.

MCAN He Describes the Workhouse, in Which the City of St. : MN CANN Ca Louis Confines Him Because He Refuses to Pay a Tax Which He Believes to Be Unrighteous. OHN J. M’CANN, tax reformer, attorney and real estate agent, is as firm in his determination today not to pay the $100 fine imposed upon him by the court for refusal to pay his license as real estate dealer, as he was on the day he was in- carcerated in the St. Louis workhouse, twelve days ago. On the day he was taken to the workhouse he said to the Post-Dispatch: “I will never pay a price for my liberty. To that end I have refused many offers of friends to pay for a license upon that liberty Although my business has been wrecked, and I have nothing left in the world, I am conscious of no offense.” Yesterday he reiterated the statement and the utterance was as full of determination as upon the day it was first spoken. In appearance John J. McCann is not such a man as stature, and ill-health has made him appear older than his 52 ousness is apparent in his movements, although his actions excitable. His slight fiugre has a noticeable stoop and he walks and talks in a quick and sprightly fashion. The face tapers to the chin, which is small but firm.

The determination apparent in his every look and action is what has brought John J. McCann to the workhouse. He refused to pay or state for the right to earn a living. He carried his case to the highest court in the state and it decided against him. sentence of the lower court, whose action the Supreme Court had sustained. the case into the United States Court by means of a writ of habeas corpus. In the meantime John J.

URING the time of his incarceration John J. McCann has employed con- Siderable of his time in taking ob- servations of the doings at the workhouse. He has prepared for the Post-Dispatch the following comments and descriptions of some of the things that he has seen and heard while at the institution: By Prisoner John J, McCann. WORKHOUSB, July 25, 1900. To the Editor oi the Sunday Post-Dis- patch. HANDSOME new flag, the stars and stripes, was received for this institu- tion by Superintendent Kempf this afternoon and will be hoisted at ‘‘the dawns early light’’ tomorrow in the prison yard. As Mr. Kempf and Capt. Grossman, bookkeeper, unfurls it the latter expressed the hope to me that it would prove a ban- ner of even a larger and better freedom than that he fought for in 1861 to 1865, and Mr. Kempf nodded his head in approval. The old fiAag, which was to my mind morally more than materially overworn and stained, witnessed the departure of a new-born negro babe and its mother to the City Hospital this morning. The babe was born about 8 a. m. and was allowed its Hb- erty, or taken out of the prison an hour later. Sunday I had an interview with Chaplain Haggerty of the institution, who preaches industry, temperance and good association to the prisoners as the true guides to hap- piness. I asked him what he thought of my case in which I was fined and impris- oned for engaging in an innocent occupa- tion. He seemed puzzled. I then asked him if he paid a license to preach the gospel. He said no. And I invited him to don the uniform and share my cell with me as one guilty as myself. He was called out by a visitor at this point and I have not yet heard his answer. Sunday morning I attended church ser- vices. The celebrant read the Ten Com- mandments to the prisoners. My thoughts Gwelt on the first, thou shalt adore the Lord thy God and shal! not have strange gods before thee. The complacency with which he preached repentence to the peo- ple who to my mind were for the most part driven into the institution by man-made ordinances, presented to be a striking freak of the practice of what ts claimed to be Christianity, for is it not for obedience to that commandment I am here? You will find in the first page of my argument {n Heense tax brief I quote the divine word that I shall earn my bread by the sweat of my brow. Il am yet at sea as to why I am here. The State Supreme Court of one political party would seem to hint that it ts for “Sfusing to pay $25 a year rent or hire of myself to the clasres that control me to help swell the city revenue, or perhaps be- cause I have violated a police rule in fol- lowing the desperate occupation of real estate agent. I cannot find which or even determine that either is the cause of my itn- earceration as far as I can gather from the written opinion of the court. There are 271 men and &] women prison- ers in the institution, Many, if not most of them, in the wild anima! Stage of human existence, Perhaps I am pessimistic in this statement. I have been enjoying the priv- lleges of the yard to the full extent, retir- ing generally after the privoners are asleep, but fearing a recurrence of chills and fever, from which I Suffered last summer, I last night went to my cell early on ac- count of the chill and demp weather out- side and found that a number of the pris- oners Were discussing to subject of taxa- tion. It seemed to me in harmony with the new flag-raising and that possibly the com- ing dawn's early light had found a vent inte which it penetrated even to this mini- ature human inferro, Among the hymns sung in the genera! afternoon services Sunday, led by visiting ee of the city, the most striking 25, it is remembered by those who have watched the case that the city of St. annual revenue of over $237,000 because of his effort in having the assessment of street were ‘‘Nearer My God to Thee” and “Rock of Ages.’’ The auricular effect was pleas- ing, even coming from the unattuned voices of the humans who attended in a body; what spiritual, moral or material good is accomplished may be inferred from the singing of the afternoon and night, in which “There Will Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-night,” “Sally of the Alley” and Ijke refrains prevailed. After the bedtime bell rings and the prisoners have retired, a most #lemn hush comes over the prison building and grounds, much as on Main or Second Streets at midnight. Looking through the alley, which divides the main buildings, you see two dim gas lamps burning and a guard pacing the eastern area. LEast, the silent waters of the Mississippi are seen pursuing their way to the gulf. The pass- ing of the City of Providence is the event of the night. It passes too far from the prison to permit of its music being heard by the prisoners, but the brilliantly iilu- minated panorama of dancers and prome- naders aboard is visible from the cell window and many of the young and mid- dle-aged sigh for the time when they wore clothes other than these and were free men. The discipline here is very rigid and the fare is not elegant, but the unfortunate who does what he is told—and as far as I have seen the orders are not unreason- able—fares no worse than the freemen who do similar work outside, save that the wages here are a little less. The cells are scrubbed and cleaned every day by the female prisoners and are reasonably clean—perfectly so if the in- mates wish to keep them so, which has not been the case in any instance which l have come across. MANY HAVE WRITTEN TO MCANN Scores of Letters Received Since He Has Been in the Work- House. INCH Mr. McCann has been in the workhouse he has received scores of letters from friends and admirers, indorsing his action and encouraging him to remain steadfast.

SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JULY 29, 1900. AJOK-GENEKAL x see es ee eee oe ee ee ee ee Leader of the American Forces Landed in China for the Rescue of Our Minister, the Missionaries and Other Citizens of This Country. EN. ADNA R. CHAFFEE is the American man of the hour in China, Upon him will depend the protection of American interests and the rescue ot Minister Conger and his American asso- ciates, if alive. This hard-working soldier of humble birth, this hero of two wars and many Indian campaigns, who has risen from the grade of private to the rank: of major- general of volunteers, will advance in con- junction with Field Marshal Yamagata, “the Von Moltke of Japan,”’ Gen. Sir Fran- cis Grenfell of Great Britain and Gen. Al- fred Amadee Dodds of France. The eves of the civilized world will be fastened upon this plain fighting Amer!- can during his advance through the coun- try of the countless enemy to the rescue of the Americans supposed to be be- leaguered in the Chinese capital. With him will be a Japanese who has served as prime minister of his country, who has held other high offices and has been a soldier since his boyhood. With him will be an Englishman, until recently was governor of Malta, who is a seasoned and experienced soldier. With him will be a Frenchman, a soldier tried and true, a hero of the Madagascar campaign, popular in his own country and respected abroad. All of these distinguished men will lead the army of the allied powers against the citv of Pekin, bearing on their banners the watchword of civilization, seeking to pro- tect their own countrymen from the savage assaults of infuriated Boxer mobs, or, in case they have already been massacred, to demand reparation at the point of the sword, But in all this gallant array of sSoldiery, in all this gleaming host which will march from Tien Tsin within a few days toward the capital of the most popu- Jlous nation on earth, there will be no more striking figure than that of Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, typical American soldier. His presence there will make the name “American’’ respected in the Yellow King- dom-as it has never been respected before. Iiven as the “Yankee pigs’ wakened proud Spain from her centuries of exclusiveness and self-sufficiency, will the American soldiers, cavalry and infantry, under Gen. (‘haffee impress upon the shut-in Celestia!s the depth and the breadth and the height of western civilization. So much his country re- in this gailant officer that it has hon- ored him in advance. When he departed from -6 days ago, he was a brig volunteers. When he where he within a has been gencral. Until the beginning of the Spanish-Amer+ fean war he was lieutenant-colonel of the Kighth Cavalry, regzular armv. Having fought his American brethren dur- ing the Civil war; having made his mark as an intrepid Indian fighter, surpassed only by the peerless Lawton, and having distin- guished himself in the war with Spain, he has now been sent the leader of the American part of the movement against the Chinese, to uphold the honor of this country and protect the lives and ty of its citizens in a foreign and hostile land. Last Wednesday Gen. Chaffee arrived at Nagaski, Japan. With him were two squad- rons of the Sixth Cavalry and a battalion of marines, After a conference with Ad- miral Remey he will proceed at once to Tien Tsin, leaving the troops to follow as soon as possible.

And at last, after much hard fighting, Gen. Chaffee, whose men had been enduring the brunt of the fight. gave the order to storm, and the Twelfth regiment sprang forward at the word, eager for the charge. Up the ra- vine they swung to the fright, broke through the wire fences, rushed upward to the top of the hill, and the fort was theirs. The enemy could not stand Chaf- fee's rush.

Chaffee has attained fame chiefly as a hard fighter his abilities as an executive officer and as a 4@iplomat led to his being made chief of staff to the gover- nor-general of Cuba, and to his selection to command the American forces tn China. Gen. Chaffee was in his element In an Indian campaign, though he had lUttle patience with the policy that would sim- ply drive hostile Indians back to thelr res- ervations. He believed that the most ef- fective policy and the most humane in the end was to administer severe punish- ment to Indians who had made war on the whites. When he could get after a band of Indians and get away from tele- graphic communication, where he could not be held back by orders from Washington, there was sure to be a fight, and the In-« dians would get the worst of It. a i DR.

This event took place in New York City l’nited States Medical College. that time the watermelon w: strictly a local product. It was raised in many states and sold in a small way at near-by markets, but never until after the Tanner fast did the watermelon become a recognized factor in the commercial worid.

No one can awaken in my mind an interest in the real estate of the eternal city till I am convinced that the “ever- green shores’ of ‘‘the land over there” are made so by the luscious fruits of the vine under consideration. Toward the termination of my fast there was much discussion among the doctors as to how the long abstinence ought to be broken. The question was often referred to me. but [I invariably answered: “With watermelons.”’ As a — the State Horticultural Soct- ety of Georgia, convened at Macon at the time, sent me a 45-pound melon. It was all meat of the choicest kind—the pink of per- fection—the shell being not more than @ quarter of an inch thick. I named that melon “Georgia "’ and decided to break my fast with it. The doctors, to a man, were disposed to anathematize my choice, declare ing that melons were deceptive and treach- and tied bowknots tn their victims’ interior anatomy, to give excrue clating torment. By midnight the 45-pound melon had gained peaceable possession of the gastrio domain, and all was qutet. Since then the watermelon has enjoyed a tremendous vogue.

Some of them will buy carloads of melons oute right: others will simply solicit shipments to their respective houses, to be sold on commission. ln either case a large percente age of the melons raised in Scott County will find their way to St. Louls, here to be consumed or shipped to eastern citied and out-of-the-way places. The largest shipments of melons from Scott County ure made from the towns of Morley, Blodgett and Diehlstadt, but there are innumerable shipping switches scate- tered throughout the district. The shipping of melons requires different facilities from the usual run of freight. soe the railroad company puts on an extra train Known ag the “fast’’ or melon freight It runs di- St. Louis ones rectls from the melouv belt to without stoppage except the necessary for water Long before the actual shipment of mel- ons begins the local freights fill up the long cattle cars, ventilat- switches with cars (usualls vsed on account of their supertor t in readi- ing qualities) and get everytaing ness for the rush. That rush this year i later than usual. owing to the cool weather which lasted throughout the month of June, It takes warm weather to ripen watermei-¢ ons, and the warmer the weather the larger the melons. ‘ Blodgett, probably the heaviest shipping point in the county, is a town of probab:y °50 inhabitants. It hus a depot and tvo stores, two hotels and good schoolnou 6 and church. The hotels do a lucrative busi- ness In melon time. Commission men and fruit dealers fron all over the United Stat: 3 make this their headquarters in melon time. Heavy shipping will not commence tli{s Aug. 1. Shipping usually commences about July 2.

Occupying the most commanding Asia, and having an area of some 400,300,000 square miles, watered, and possessing a productive soil, diversity of climate, and an extensive seacoast, indented by numerous bavs and fine harbors, the Chinese empire dominates one of the finest regions of the globe. Hier population is estimated at some 400,000,000 gouls, comprising the most patient and thrifty, industrious and peace- inelined people the world knows, despite the abnormal conditions and atrocivuus doings that at this moment obtain in the empire.

These personalities have been developed primarily for themselves and not for the race. The spirit of higher education is still individualistic.

Isaac Pierson, Missionary to China. HE Chinese are an astonishing race. Every fourth man.in this world wears a queue. Their history is not measured by cen- turies, but by millenniums. The official records of Chinese his- tcry are continuous and unbroken beck to the time of Isaiah and the beginnings of Greek and of Roman history, and, with unimportant breuks, that history extends to the time of Abraham, and almost to the flood. (her races have divided and subdivided and intermingled with ne'ghboring races until their types were largely lost, but the Chinese have retained their individuality. This race is indomitable. During tts 4000 years of existence 26 differ- ent dynasties have ruled its destinies, and several of these have been of foreign races, but In every case the habits and the laws and the characteristics of the conquering race have succumbed to those of the conquered. Such is the case with the present dynasty, which has been or the throne of China 256 years. It is Manchu in name, but it long ago became Chinese In character. The Chinese are persistent, and accomplish the thing they attempt, if not today, then it will be tomorrow. If a man die before he has ac- complished his purpose his gon will take it up and carry it to success, If his son fail his son's son will fulfill it. These bold affirmations are not platitudes. They are massive facts, and the meaning of them is that this pivotal year has disclosed to the world another Anglo-Saxon race. China has secluded herself from the other nationa of the earth. She has siept while they have waked. But her sleep has been that of a giant. Now she is awaking. Already she has roused to the conscious- ness of military power. Five years ago she suffered ignominious de feit before a nation of one-tenth her population, but now Krupp guns and Mauser rifles are in her hands, and she knows how to use them and Cares to do it. What will be the next step? And the next? God only knows. China will soon claim her place among the nations of the earth, and that place will be no insignificant one. It may be of immense power, What are the nations to do about {t? That I can but dimly trace, But one thing I know, and that is this: The same power that has made Christian nations to différ from heathen nations can, and it alone can, make heathen China into a Christian China. Let infidels and atheiscts praise science and commerce and military power, but these can never teach Christian virtues. Without Chris- tianity the wholesale massacre of Chinese Christians, of missionary teachers and physicians, and of merchants and ambassadors, may hap- pen 50 years hence as readily as today. A heathen China is a certain menace to the world. CHINESE SLOW TO MOVE. By Miss Abby B. Child, Secretary of the Woman’s Board of Missions. ROM my knowledge of the Chinese, I should say that {t would be a very long time, even if opportunity offered, before they would develop any aggressiveness outside their own country. Supremely satisefid us they are with their own attainments and conditions, and despising all other peoples are barbarians, there would seein tc be no motive for conquest, no stimulus to enter into the strug. gie for power and for possessions that so dominates western nations. if there were to be any future peril from the Chinese I should say it would be an industrial one. It is scald that the poverty in China its s0 extreme there are thousands and thousands whose hunger is never quite satisfied. Stern necessities of life might drive them from their sancy wastes, their overcrowded cities, from their homes and even from their cherished graves to a land of ease and abundance like the United States, and their great numbers might overcome all barriers against them. They would bring with them their spectal characteristics of inde- fatigable industry, remarkable patience and frugality, clever worke manship and physical endurance and with their few wants and simple ways of living might flood the world with cheap labor. If they should bring with them and retain thetr religious customa, their innumerable superstitions, their immorality and carelessness of human life, there would be evident peril. It was my privilege some time ago while on a visit to China to meet a number of intelligent Christian Chinese gentlemen. They were a most interesting company and would make good citizens in any country. The Chinese are a fine race, and if with our western ideas, modern inventions and education we could give them Christianity, which has the power to transform them ifnto an honest, reliable, kindly, enlight- ened people, they would be no menace to western civilization.

The French critic who, with me rciless wit, declared that a rival's “future could be fould fn that of the Grand Army, tn large measure. order sprung from the services of volunteers in the great war froin 161 to 1865, in winning a new cestiny for our republic and freeing all who were in bondage. The Grand Army came into view as a fra- ternal organization, to keep alive other scenes and other times in the reminiscent circle of army services. Its watchwords were “Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty,” and the inimitable basis of comradeship as vol- unteeers in the armies of the Union. In 1892 it reached the high-water mark in numbers, 409,00% Last year 8000 died, and the roll shrunk to 300,000. The Grand Army had no predecessor, and, in the mature of its plan and purpose, it can have no successor. It Was or- anized to perpetuate the deeds and gacrifices of the great war in de- of the laws of the land and the enforcement of the judgment of the nation as rendered at the ballot box. The reminiscent environ- meat of the four years of internecine war was to become the center of interest of Grand Army posts all over the redeemed Union. The future of the orgapization can have but one issue—that of fina] ending by the death of its last surviving member. From the cf its birth it must die when the last comrade is mustered out Angel of Death. The talk of infusing with it the Sons of Vet- is, in my judgment, without reasonable hope.

Tue Grand Army’s influence will dominate the future for long years of come along all lines of the culture of unselfish services and sacrifices for the common good, and in this regard no Organization of the past has equated it—in its commanding prominence and pre-eminent patriotism. It can be claimed this organizetion in the future will safeguard the righte of comrades and their widows so far as just pensions are con- cerned.

For Miss Iilian Rose was undoubtedly an ex- tremely pretty girl, with extremely pretty man- ners. There was a mela’ of eight at the start, and of these three were acknowledged by competent judges so equally matched as to make it a mat- ri vpn /N/ AL —— eee east Pe Ea ¥ 4 a 4 ter of the greatest difficulty to decide which of them should be regarded first favorite. By the time the Odin was crossing the equator only two competitors remained in the running, and the nice question was which of the two would succeed in winning the young woman. You see they were both admirable fellows. One of them was the eldest son of a baronet—his name was Gerald Hubbart—and the other was the second son of a peer—his name was Reggie Craythorne. Both were so well off as to preclude the question that either of them was a fortune-hunter. Miss Lilian Rose was the only child of her father, and he was the chief director of a group of South African mines. “What are you going to do, my dear?’ I in- quired of Lilian one night, as I pretended to ar- range her wrap for her, when she had seated her- self in her deck chair. She and I had been the best of friends while I was private secretary at Government House. As I had a wife of my own she knew she was at liberty to make a friend of me. WwW sR cA , fay; FRANKFORT MOORE ‘What am I to do?" she cried, almost piteously, after a pause. “What am I to do? Yeu are clever—what on earth is the good of being clever if you can't advise a poor girl'’'— “A poor girl—poor.”’ “A poor rich girl—what to do in an extremity?’ “A man is a paltry thing,” said I, after an- other pause. “‘When I express the opinion that you should ask your own heart the question which you put to me I am proving myself not clever, but old-fashioned—just the opposite, you know.”’ ‘My own heart?’ said she, with more than a suspicion of pathos in her voice; ‘‘my own heart? Was it a clever man or an old-fashioned man who declared that the heart was deceitful above all things?’ “ar “What's the good of applying for information to one that is deceitful, Mr. Rawdon?” “Accept the man whom you love best,” said I. “OO! is there no easier way of coming to a con- clusion? Is there no alternative scheme?’”’ ‘‘Yes: marry the one who loves you best.”’ “IT would be content to do su if I but knew his name.”’ ‘You will have to trust to luck. to tell me that you care equally for men?” ‘“T do mean to tell you that, Mr. Rawdon. I like them both well—so well that—O, Mr. Raw- don, is it not possible for a girl to be in love with two men at the same moment?” “T cannot tell you, my poor child. I am not clever, but at the same time I am not quite such a fool as to affirm that in matters of love there is anything that is impossible. I know that a girl Do you mean the two who loves two men equally well should marry neither, but wait until she meets a man whom she loves better than either of the two.” She smiled—not the smile which had captivated all the passengers (male) aboard the “Odin,” but a rather sad smile, and shook her head, saying slowly, “If I only knew which of them loved me best.”’ ‘“‘Perhaps they both love you equally well,” I. “No, the test will come, said she, rising and going where my wife was sitting. ‘Which of the two men is that girl to marry”?”’ my wife asked of me that night as we stood to- gether looking into the blackness—it was, 1! think, the darkest night on record, “She must marry either the one whom she loves best, or the one who loves her best,” said lL. “How is the poor child to test them?” “Hiow did Miss Ellen Terry in ‘The Merchant of Venice’ test her lover?’ said I. ‘“‘Couldn’t we in- duce the captain to provide a series of caskets— gold and silver with suitable verses?” “What nonsense you. talk!’’ cried my her most wifely manner. “Nonsense! Well, perhaps Hard a-port! Full speed astern! God's sake!”’ - Feering into the blackness of the night, I saw what no one else seemed to see—a green and a red light bearing down upon us. In another sec- ond came the shout of the officer on the bridge, who was in charge of the “Odin,” and it wag fol- lowed by a series of cries that came from our quarter. I felt the steamer reel as she turned in a half circle, the helm being put hard over, and then came an overpowering sense of disaster, a blaze of light, shrieks of women, oaths of men, the yell of steam through the water pipes and then a shock that sent me fiying across the deck. When the steamer righted herself I got to my fect and staggered aft to where I had left my w.!fé, By the light of the only lamp that remained in- tact I saw that she was holding on by the rail inside the deckhouse. She was doing her best to allay the panic that had arisen among the other passengers—men and women—who, half- dressed, had rushed up the companion stairs. ‘They were shrieking—men as well as women. From the bridge amidships came the shout of the captain: ‘‘Boat stations—women and children first, clear away the two quarter boats.”’ ‘Women and children first,’’ cried Mr. Hubbart. He had no coat on, and as he pushed back a cou- ple of men who were pushing forward he looked dangerous. said ct ‘me,”’ deck to the test will across the wife, in —Merciful heavens! Hold on, for “Women and children!" said Craythorne, throw- ing himself against another crowd of men who were crushing through the door of the deckhouse. | Then from the fore part of the steamer came a yell of indignation—more curses-—a wall of de- spair—the shrill crying of a child. We perceived that the steamer which had run us down had Sheered off, leaving us to our fate. “Send up a rocket,” shouted the captain; and before he had well spoken, there came the hiss of the signa! as it fled through the air, showing the ghastly faces that lined our decks. For the next 20 minutes half a dozen of us fought scores of panic-stricken men in the en- deavor to keep them from crowding into the boats which were being launched. Boat after boat, deeply laden with women and children, was launched without the slightest hitch, and then came the more difficult duty of prevent- ing the rush of men into the remaining boats, for we knew that at least 30 of us would have to go down with the ship. I had no particular wish to be left on the ship, but I could not bring myself to fight for a place in the last boat. I only made a rush for the quarter when it pushed off, gunwale deep. The boat had not gone more than a dozen yards frcm the foundering steamer, when I felt a hand on my atm. I looked round; Lilian was standing beside me. ‘Merciful cried, “I can stay as well as any one else,” I sprang on the bulwarks. “Boat ahoy!’’ I shouted. ‘“‘There’s a woman here —Miss Rose!”’ “No room—we're overcrowded—ready to swamp!” came the reply of the officer, who was at the tiller. “For God's sake, some man jump out and make room,”’ I yelled. Two seconds passed—not three—and then there was the sound of a splash in the water. I was able to cheer then. We could see the head of the man who had left the boat and was swimming back. “That is Craythorne,’’ I whispered to Lilian. “T know it—I know it-—I know now that it was he whom I loved best, and now he Is drowning to save me,” she said. “This is the test you spoke of,’ said I. loves you best.”’ “And we shall die together,’’ she cried. ‘Mr. Rawdon, you have aewife.

I released her, for cheer after cheer, mixed with the sound of a steam whistle came from the boats, and from the deck of a steamer which was approaching us at full speed. In half an hour we were on the deck of the steamer. It belonged to the same line as the Odin. “By only a single second,” said Hubbard to me at Madeira the next day. “Craythorne was tin the watcr a second before I could rise from the thwarts.

HOUSANDS of miles have been trav- eled, thousands of collars spent, thousands of persons questioned, and atill no trace has been found of Arthur Dent, or of the fortune teller who le thought to have enticed him away four months ago. To recall such another search for a child baffies the memory. Charile Ross himself was not sought with greater geal or more thorough system, although his father was a rich man, while Arthur Dent's is only @ factory boarding-houee keeper The very fact that he is the child of poor parents augments the sympathy which in- spires ald. The disappearance of Arthur Dent Is a public question. Millionaires and factory hands, clergymen and saloon-keep- ers, societies and private families, politi- clans and plain citizens—ail make common cause in scouring the land for the missing one. It js safe to say that no child tn this coun. try has his picture #0 widely circulated, His portrait has been scanned all over the country. His features are familiar to hosts of men and women who watch for him in places far distant from his home. Throughout the United Btates and Canada every police station and detective bureau has a copy of the picture and nearly every newepaper has rep ced it. There was no sich machinery for search in the time of Charlie Roses, and newspaper illustration was almost unknown, If Arthur Dent had died it is almost in- iit fi ipl wage conceivable that his body should not been recovere 1 so minute has been ne | search bas: on that hypothes's, If ‘he! r that his cuetodi: traordinary facilities for hiding him.

From gypsies to fortune-tellers ts but a short step. The only shadow of a clew to the manner of Arthur Dent's disappearance relates to a woman soothsayer A French Canadian named Joe Lessen came forward a month ago and said that at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of March m~— the day Arthur Dent disappeared—he aaw the little fellow in the custody of @ heavily veiled woman. They came up Coolidge etrect, he nalts and turned Into Cheever street. There they were joined by another woman, and ail three continued down Cheever street and were jong to eight, Arthur Dent toddling between the two women. No other witness has seen him since that hour. a > e-— Thousands of Dollars Have Been Expended to Find This Little Boy Who, It Is Believed, Was Abducted by Gypsies. Lessen described the veiled woman as well as he could. She was short of stature. He remembered in a general way her build, her gait and the character of her clothing. The description fitted a fortune-teller who had formerly lived near the Dents. It was learned that she had left Lowell, as near as could be recalled, at about the period of Arthur's disappearance. No one knew whither she had gone. This was important. Detectives started out to trace her. They have been working on her trail ever since. Two or three times they have found clews and believed them- selves on the eve of running her to »arth, but always disappointment has awaited them. : There is much to strengthen the ardor of this pursuit. The fortune-teller knew Arthur Dent and his parents, as she knew all the inhabitants of the dreary region sur- rounding the Lawrence, Suffolk and Tre- mont mills. She was attached to him, as every one Was who knew him. Whether that attachment was strong enough to create an overmaster- ing desire to have him always with her was matter for conjecture. Students of human nature pointed out that of all possible motives for the abduc- tion of Arthur Dent affection was, after all, the most probable. This was a new point of view. It was urged with great vigor by a thoughtful few and attracted much attention. It would be a perverted form of affection that would prompt the kidnapping of the beloved object from a happy home, con- signing a mother to an anguish of uncer- tainty worse than bereavement by death. But this does not weaken the theory. Unscrupuloug persons, it is pointed out, are just as susceptible to deep affections as conscientious persons. Human nature ie no stranger to euch contradictions as a woman with such a violent love for anoth- er’s child that she would risk everything and infiict any pain for the sake of making it her own. What more powerful motive could there be, it was asked, than such an affection? More powerful, the theorists declared, than avarice or revenge. Avarice and revenge, the only other mo- tives suggested by a kidnapping, seemed from the first to be out of the question. The poverty of the Dent family precluded the idea that Arthur had been stolen for a ransom, and enemies they had none. No chil ld could be better equipped to in- spire the fanatic love of some lonely woman than Arthur Dent. He was made to be loved. All sorts of people felt and acknow- ledged his potency to charm At the age of four he had the gift-that kings have longed for—the gift of winning loyal subjects by the sole authority of nature. He was handsome, fearless, fleet, strong, confiding, clever, eloquent, mirthful, far beyond most children of much greater age. In a word, he was bewitching. Grown-up people stopped in the street to watch him play. None could look upon him without smiling. Tired mill hands on ther way home from work brought gifts to giadden him Men of substance in buggies or carriages lifted him wp to ride with them. Fine ladies petted him. Not hatred but love was the enare that beset Arthur Dent's feet, say the theorists; greed not for gold but for careases was the motive for the crime. There is no slackening In the search. A large committee of prominent residents spares neither money nor time in following every avenue that even remotely promises aclue. At its head ts Col. A. M. Chadwick, paymaster of the Tremont and Suffolk mills, the largest mill corporation In Massachu- getts. A handsome reward awaits whoever Bhall give information leading to Arthur Dent’s recovery. At ll o’clock on the day of his disap- , pearance he was seen playing with two other boys on the bank of a canal near his home. One of the other boys during the first hours of anxiety told a playmate that he had pushed Arthur Into the water, but careful investigation showed that this was childish bravado. The water of all the canals in the neigh- borhood was drained off, and it was proved beyond peradventure that Arthur Dent hag not been drowned. Besides, two vunim- peachable witnesses, foremen in the mills, testified to having seen him in the street going toward home an hour after he had been playing on the canal bank. The subsequent testimony of Joe Lessen about the velled woman tis not thougtit by the police to be entirely above suspicion, but numerous other persons place faith in it. How widespread is the interest In Ar- thur Dent's disappearance ts proved by the large number «f letters from al) parts of the country received every day by tne citizens’ committee and tne ch'ld’s did- tracted parents. Many of them are from cranks and clairvoyants. — om -- eee ~~ — —, one ee ee --~--—-- — ....BRAZILIAN DIAMOND MIN American diamond dealers is about to be formed to work the dlamond fields of Brazil. It is claimed that such an under- taking might be successful in view of the fact that the prices of South African gems have been raised and that the Kimberley companies are making arbitrary demands upon thelr American customers. Whether such an enterprise is on foot or not, ft is unquestionably true that buyers who are now returning from the London annual June sales complain generally of the quality of stone offered them. They claim that the price quoted by the Kimberley syndicate in October, 1899, has not been changed—the prices had been raised nine times succes- sively between that date and July, 4%— but that grades which were classed second and third have been advanced to first and second place at the price which the genuine first and second sold for before last month, and that these last are now heid and sold as “specials.” Thus, while oid prices are quoted, the syndicate, it is complained, has reaily advanced the price about W per cent. Again, the syndicate this year is said to have obliged the American dealers to take “lots” of its own selection, so that the man who buys $100,000 worth of diamonds must take among them $0,000 worth of stones which he must sell proportionately at @ loss in this country. The weekly shipments from the Cape are now coming in te Leadon at the rate of from $250,000 to $300,000 worth of reugh stones. g is reported that a stock company of TOBE # REOPENED, quality of the Brazil stones averages high- er than those found in Kimbertey Brazil never produces large quantities, through no fault of the natural supply so far as is known; but before the Kimberley strike was made, at the very grass-roots In ls the demand for diamonds was nothing like what it has since grown to be, so that $1,000,000 then meant what five times or more than it would now. The annual ime- portation of diamonds, rough and unpol- ished. into the United States is about $14. 000.000. The reason why the small stone & in such demand in this country is that the humblest aspire to the possession of @ diamond, while abroad the wealthy classes and prosperous trade people only think of investing in the gem.

He is the neighborhood orac!e. The people depend upon the wisdom of his utterances as did the Israelites of old upon the law and the prophets. The wisdom of Solomon Weisman 1s like unto that of Solo- mon the Wise. Sometimes he ts called Rabbi Weisman, though he is not a rabbi and he disclaims the title. His educational advantages were meagre, but he is well versed in the scrip- tures and the tenets of the ancient Jewish faith. He holds fast to the teachings of Judaism in letter and in spirit. He is de- vout in his faith, which was the faith of the fathers upon the plains of Judea, and he abates no jot nor tittle from the stern beliefs set down in the Old Testament. Six hours a day, seven days a week, Solo- _mén Weisman worships in the little syna- gogue at Ninth and Wash streets. From 4:30 o’clock in the morning until 8 he sits in the synagogue, offering up prayers to Jehovah: and from 6 until 8:30 in the even- ing he prays there again. The aged mother of Weisman died last January. This is why he spends so much time in the synagogue. “Tt ts a law of our religion,”’ he explains, “that when the mother of a believer dies he must send up two prayers morning and evening fora year. This I do faithfully, for I am of the faith of the fathers.” Welsman weighs 235 pounds and stands an inch more than six feet. Now he is slight- ly bent, neck and head inclining forward, but his sons say that up to 15 years ago he was as straight as an oak post and as strong as an ox. John L. Sullivan was the figure used in comparison by one of Weils- man’s sons, who said that his father at 40 years of age could lift 500 pounds and sling that weight over his shoulder. He made a wager about 15 vears ago that he could lift a certain astonishing number of sacks of flour. He did the trick, but he has not been entirely well since. When Weisman conducted a saloon in Russia he was his own grand bouncer. It is said that he used to pick up 10 or 12 men, one after the other, and fling them out- doors, thus breaking up a row. The Rus- sians respected his phy sic al strength as the his Twelfth street No man is more highly re- Americanized Jews respect his mental acu- men, His personal appearance is strongly indi- vidualistic. His face is of ruddy hue. The nose is not prominent in profile but it Is broad, sloping down to each cheek with a slight curve. It is Roman rather than He- braic. There is nothing of the hook about that nose. Shorn of his patriarchal beard Weisman would not be taken for a Jew. His face is broad and round, full-fleshed, that of a well-fed man who sleeps nights and has an easy conscience. The mouth is broad, though the silken gray mustache conceals {it so that the lines are not dis- cernible. The teeth have not been well pre- served. Apparently he has eaten of much flesh. The forehead {s high and bald. A black skull cap sits well back upon his head. cov- ering his scant. gray hair, which, unlike his beard, !s short. The ears are large, but not unduly meaty, The neck {fs that of Tubal Cain, ponderous, swelling down to a full bosom which !s covered by a starchiess white shirt. He wears thick, heavy black trousers held up by broad blue susnenders. The trousers are not wrinkled, but they have an effect of being molded to the shane of his rugged lees. His shoes are of thick stiff cowhide. The foot {s flat and short and broad. He stands squarely upon the sole and holds his spine erect. Wetsman’s hands are the hands of a man of might. They are large, such as the village blacksmith should have for wield- ing the huge hammer; but the skin looks smooth, and there are few wrinkles in the palm for the study of the palmist. The fingers are fat but firm, the nail pared close. There {s no tremor of those hands as he talks. They are as firm as his arbitra- ment decisions. They betray no nervous- ness. They are the hands of a man of de- cision. Wetsman’'s eyes are faintly blue, big eyes that regard one critically as if the owner of the orbits were studying a possible cli- ent or witness tn his court of arbitration, They are kindly eyes withal, and when not engaged {in aiding Weisman’s conversation thev relax Into a dreamy gentleness be- tokening that the man has something of the poet in his make-up a sort of Tolstol devo- tion to ideals which is common to dream- ers and doers in the great world whereof Solomon Weisman has little part. The in- terviewer feels that he is being interviewed when Weisman turns those large orbs upon him, and when they are turned away in a conversational lull he feels that he is beholding a man out of the ordinary. one who under favorable environment would de- velop into a Moses to lead the children of Israel tnto the promised land. The life story of Solomon Wetsman is woven of the warp and woof of sorrow and joy, with more of the somber threads of woe than of the golden strands of rejoicing in the pattern. He has known worldly wealth and felt the sting of poverty. He has staggered under personal bereavements and rejoiced in the successes of his sons. He has bowed, though unwillingly, to the yoke of human oppression and has been ex: alted by his sub! lime faith in the eternal ao 1 . . d alou ; justice. He faces the future unafraid, and Can say with the poet: In the fell clutch of cirenmstance I have not winced nor cris Under the biudgeonlugs of chance My head is bloody but unbowed. Weisman was born 56 years ago in Russia. He looks 20 years older, on account of his long, flowing, yellow-gray beard; but his unwrinkled face bespeaks the man but lit- tle beyond his prime. He grew up tn his na- tive village true to the religion of his race and thereby suffered the persecutions prac- ticed by the Czar’s own people against the Jews. Weisman inherited the quality of thrifti- ness that is nearly universal among his people. He had the commercial spirit. He strove end throve. Fortune favored his ef- forts and by the time he was 40 years of age he had built up a competency amount- ing to nearly $10,000 in property and busl- ness equities. This is his story: By Solomon Weisman. éé4¥ LOVED feedom. In Russia there was | no freedom. In the time of Alexan- der ITI the Jews were persecuted be- yond endurance. There was no honesty among the officials. Russian police haunted our homes. We were suspected or accused on every pretext. To secure immunity from arrest we had to give bribes to the police. “In America we had heard there was freedom. We were told that in this land @ man was not hunted down unless he had committed murder or had robbed his broth- er man or had been guilty of crimes against the state. America was free, a man and his family here had the natural liberty given of God. “T resolved to come to America. I knew that it would entail a great financial loss and that I must struggle to gain a foot- hold; but freedom to me was more than money, and I came. “In my native viliage, In the midst of the place, I had a home and eight acres of land. TI had a saloon and other business enterprises. I left them all. I could not sell them. The Russian government con- fiscated much of my property. Nobody would buy what was left, even at 25 per cent of its value, for they knew that in time they could get it for nearly nothing. I still hold my eight acres of land tin the village and collect a little rent, but that is all. “T shall never go back to Russta. Here IT shall die and be burted. T have bought a lot in our Jewish cemetery. There I buried my aged father four years ago. There I buried my beloved son two years gone. There I laid away my good mother ‘last January, and there my wife and my- self will be buried when we are gathered to our fathers; and I want my sons and my daughters and their children and their children’s children to be laid there. “IT would not have my children return to Russia if it meant a million dollars each for them. In this land they are free and have hope. In Russia there is no hope.”’ When Weisman landed itn New York he had his wife and stx children. some feather beds and a few thousand dollars. He came to St. ouls, where ever since he has resided. “When I first came,” he said, “I had many trials. People would see me on the street and cry: ‘See the sheeny with the long whiskers.’ I could not talk the En- glish well and was troubled in my soul. They made fun of my beard. I wear it still.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 27. Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. HE Chippewa and Pillager Indians are T greatly stirred up by the words of Da-dah-quence, a medicine man, and Point to are now assembled at Squaw await the coming of a great storm which he predicts will sweep the white man from the earth. The Indian is to be saved. From this beginning similar prophecies were uttered at other reservations, nota- bly at White Earth, Ked Lake and Rainy Lake. At these points similar gatherings of the Indians have and invariably are accompanied by dancing shout- ing and various hostile demonstrations, The gatherings at first took on a religious nature, but whenever the Indians get (o- gether in large numbers and drink, as they are doing now, they become ex ‘ited and talk over their wrongs by no means imaginary, and the as on a new and threatening character. These Pillagers are the most restiess and aggressive band of Indians in the country, and caused the last uprising tn October, 1898. For this uprising they have never been called to account, but on the other hand were given presents and treated as “‘good fellows” after the slaughter of our troops in the battle of Sugar Point, while the warrants which had been issued for the arrest of the leaders were recalled instead of being served. The Indians are not fools and they have boasted ever since of having whipped the United States troops, a clatm they can justly make. It is due to these conditions that some apprehension is felt by those who know the Indians best with regard to their present gathering at vari- ous points and indulging in war dances and similar manifestations of excitement. The grand medicine man of the tribe is regarded as having superhuman powers, and the Indian policemen, wito are friendly to the whites and are supposed to have abandoned their Indian superstitions, are often afraid to make arrests when threat- ened by the grand medicine man. Since the date of the predicted storm was first set for June M4, then for July M, and has now been again postponed to August, many have thought that the Indians would lose faith in thet: prophet, but this is not Likely.

A recent visit to Leech Lake, at the time when the storm was first threatened. was filled with more than the usual interest. I’riendly Indians were to be seen as usual upon the streets of Walker, the one town upon the lake, and which town, it {s sig- nificant to remark, is without troops, but although four days were spent in visiting the various points about the lake at which there are Indian villages not a buck was seen at any one of them, and few even of women and children. All had gone to Squaw Point, the one point of safety. Leech Lake, the home of the Chippewas and Pillagers, is the largest and most at- tractive of Minnesota's thousands of lakes. It is in the northern part of the state, is 40 miles long and has 560 miles of shore line. Among the points of especial interest along ee sl eeeneereeee SOLOMON WEISMAN, ONCE ASTRONG MAN IN RUSSIA, NOW A GIVER OF WISE JUDGMENTS, chins, but they do not hold strictly to the law and the prophets as I do.” Weisman soon became identified with the Jewish church fn 8t. Louis and with Jewe ish society. As a man who was known to be of consequence in Russia he became the chosen counselor of his people in the vie cinity of his home, which is populated largely by Russian Jews who. like himself, fied from the Czar’s dominions to escape the intolerable persecution to which they were subjected. He had prospered in Rus<- sia, he had grown rich he had shows excellent business ability. It was but nate ural that among his people in St. Louls he should be selected as a mediator in cases of disagreement. For 15 years he has been the unoffictal are biter of his people, settling their disputes without going to law and thereby saving them much money and preventing great vexation of sptrit. It is said tn the dis- trict that he is perfectly honest and fair In his decisions, and no man rises up against him. So universal is the belief in his wisdom of judgment that no one thinks of appealing from his decisions. When Welsman settles a dispute it remains set- tled. “Well, that settles it.”’ is the popular verdict. “IT tell my people that ft fe better to are bitrate than to litigate. If they hire law- yers, the lawyers and the courts carry the case along for one, two, three, six months and the costs grow. The lawyers get much, the clients get little. Sometimes they have nothing left, and. besides, the quarrel grows with the costs and there is bad feel- ing among men that sheuld be brothers. “Arbitration is right. When two persons cannot agree about a debt they cal! me in. I hear both sides, and I ponder it well. f make my decision soon; sometimes in a few minutes, hardly ever more than a day, and never longer than a week. Then it is over, and both parties are satisfied. They agree to accept my judgment in the matter, and they respect my decision. “IT get small fees for this service—two, three or five dollars. and that helps me to live. My wife and I do not need much. We get a little rent for the other part of this house, which is all IT own here. I used to own the house up the atreet, Nos. 122 and 1229, but when my son died I gave that property to his widow, Rebecca, and her five children. She has a grocery store there and can make a living for my son's chil- dren. Money ts good, but I would rather have my son back than to gain a million dollars. You may have lost money and sorrowed over it, but if you have never lost a child you know not what it is to be sor- rowfu!l.”’ As these words were uttered a bricht- faced young man, nattily dressed, entered the humble room. The great father-love of the patriarch was expressed simply but forcibly by his language in introducing the young man: “This is my baby, my youngest son.” Weisman pleces out his income with a. salary of $190 a year, which he receives as secretary of the Ohav Zedeck Lodge, I. O. B. A., and $50 a year as secretary of his Jewish congregation. The old man smiled as he remarked: “The synagogue has promised to raise my salary to $100, and that will help out.” Iie exhibited with pride a Prince Albert coat of broadcloth which he had made two years before he left Russia and which still serves as his dress coat on occasions of importance. “For 18 years I have worn this coat, and it is still good. I wear it now only on holl- days and the like, for if I should appear on the street with ft, and my long beard, the people would mistake me for a rabbi agatin.”’ : HTING HUMOR BY A MEDICINE MAN, {ts shores are Sugar Point, where the last Indian battle was fought with United States in October, 1898. oth Bear Island and Sugar Point are upon the main lake. The Indian agency is upon the western arm of the lake, and at the narrows connecting the two is sit- uated Squaw Point. The Indian agency {is ated upon rising ground overlooking the lake, and the agency Indians have neat and comfortable cottages. Capt. Mercer, troops, beautifully situ- the agent, who is a military man and one well acquaintetd with the Indians and their ways, and who Is now devoting his time to visiting the different points of unrest and endeavoring to duliet the Indians, expressed at the time little immediate alarm. He ad- mitted, however, that the situation was un- usual and might have grave results. He has sought to dispel the Indians at Squaw Point, but although the leader had been ar- rested and only released upon his promising to carry out Capt. Mercer’s orders, those orders had since been disregarded in every respect. Even the Indians who have not joined the gatherings at Leech and Red Lakes are affected by the strange condition which the prophecy of impending evil has caused. They refuse to work, saying that the results of their labor will be swept away, and there is consequently no use in working. It Is feared that the winter will bring them many hardships; they are earning nothing and making no provision for future need. ooo — | oe HANDS TALK ON CHANGE WV D ee oe and alee. neatneneaetn pore ays ee ae Re QP Core: ‘ he Ssiuiiediaeaeeenn — ——— oem 7 WIL L SELL AT “a, ne _ —_ tt =~ aoennel 3 Y $0 ‘SHARES. mn WILL SELL 100 SHARES ELL STOCK.

Men must be scrupulously honest In these dealings—more honest, in fact, than in al- most any other business. The temptation and the opportunity to be dishonest are so great that many rules are in operation which would seem curious indeed anywhere but on the floor of the exchange. The visitor who looks down upon the floor of the exchange during an exciting session concludes that the brokers are all crazy together. The layman can see noth- ing but a howling mob. As a matter of fact, the activities below him are carried on according to strict rules, but the action is so rapid that his ey. cannot follow it. Anyone who has seen i’ antics of the brokers will understand tha. it is always difficult and often impossible fur them to make themselves heard. The coni. sion on the floor is often so great that a! broker cannot even make himself heard by ~« hout- ing in the ear of the man next him. wh“ his customer several feet from hi haps the r nversation is possible If the brokers used meyxnuph ey the confusion would be merely in To obviate this they language something like that deaf and dumb.

As soon as he has attracted the attention of the crowd he waves his hand rapidly back and forth, with one or more fingers extended. He repeats these menacing signs over and over again. and just as a free fight seems inevitable he exchanges a (quick jerk of the head with some one before him, the crowd falis back and he walks off un- molested. When the excited broker rushed inth the struggling mob he was merely joining the group trading in some commodity, like sugar. The upper-cut blows of his fist merely signified that he wished to trade in 100 shares of the etock.

O MAKD a little gutta percha golf ball and make it properly requires skill and patience. More money is spent to purchase golf balls than for any other play- thing that ever was known. The cost for balls !s far in excess of the cost ef clubs used, and the expense of clubs is no small item, but a club may last a year or two. It can be mended, if broken, for a few cents, or by the player himself at no expense except of time; it does not pay to have a club mended if the cost ex- ceeds half its original price. But a ball, which costs, on the average % cents, may be lost at a single stroke. A beginner or an unskilled player may either use up or lose a dollar’s worth of valls in each day's play: professionals and experts also are very extravagant in their use of balls. They must have a new one froquent- ly, and of the best make. In tournanents and matches only new balls are used, and those the best. Some playcrs even put a new hall into play at each hole. There are fool- ish, extravagant players, wp a ball that has gone a little wide, and not have thelr old balls remado, who never licok who do either giving them to thelr caddies, losing them or driving them off wildly tnto space for sport. But in the economy of nature few things are utterly lost—not even golf balls, which are harvested by the caddies and marketet each one to reappear as a remade ball, a little emallier than before, but and white and round, good enough for practice at least, costing about 20 cents, or one- third less than a brand-new one. The cost of a golf ball may be reduced still further by saving and turning In old balls to be re- made; they are worth about a dollar a dozen, either for remaking or for the gutta percha. We have only ta consider how many are playing the game to get a faint idea of the amount of money spent for this expensive plaything. BPvery city in this country has its golf club; many have more than one. There are over 69 enrolled members of golf clubs in the little suburban city where I live. Supposing there are 600 guch enroliments, that would give us 300,- I. believe clean _ ra A = er there are doulde that number of players, counting children of members, who are not. enrolled, and unattached players and caddies, some as often as five, six or seven times a week, and others not oftener than once Or twice, we get a sum in arithmetic that would look like this: Number of months’ play per year, aver- age, six; number of weeks’ play per month, average, three; number of times’ play per week, average, two; number of balls used up or lost per time, average, two: number of players in the United States of all sorts and conditions af men, women and children (about one in 250 of population), 300,000. Now, this estimate calls for a total of 21,600,000 gutta percha golf balls, which is a low estimate of each one of the different items, and !s a conservative estimate of the number of times, 36, that the average golfer plays during the year. At 2% cents average cost per ball, the cost of these balis would be $5,400,000. The only suitable material for golf balls is gutta percha—a gum which comes from India and Borneo and other tropical lands. It is resillent but not elastic, like India rubber. It Is heavy enough to fiy well, tough enaugh to resist, without cracking or crumbling or chipping, the hardest blows of a driver of wood or of fron. Gutta percha Is not too lively, not too resillent: while Tn- dia rubber is, and would either eo baunding erratically all over a field and be last tf made of lively or pure gum, or be dead and unresponsive if made of adulterated com- India rubber. Hard rubber—that is, vulcanized rubber—would have many cf and outward appear- ances of gutta percha balls, but would chip and crack, and eannat be substituted. (yutta pereha costs about double the price of India rubber, or about $1.20 to §2 per pound; and the demand !{s increasing and the supply diminishing. Golf alone is re- sponsibie for a sharp advance in price of this commodity. After gutta percha !{s pro- cured in !ts raw state it is more ar adulterated It {s necessary to wash ‘t and purify it. It ls then rolled into sheets and compressed, and made into tubes or sticks about an Inch and one-half in diameter. These sticks are then carefui- ly cut into sections just large enough to mold a golf ball af any given size wanted with as little to spare as possible, because all excess—and there must be some—is saved and reformed into “stick” again, to- gether with After the stick has been cut into lu these lump4 are placed in pans of water, which aré pounds of he characteristics less age .

They are then trimmed to take off the excess after molding, and when the paint is hardened and dried, they are boxed in dazens and are ready for the dealer or plaver. To make golf balls of known reliability, of uniform size and ap- pearance, with cleancut markings, resillent enough to suit the most skillful and the strongest players, durable and properly painted with a paint that will not wear or chip off, perhaps most portant of all, properly seasoned, requires skill, patience and a large amount of c: ital.

We went from San Isi- dro west to Aleoga, to Victoria, thence etraight north through Bantista and By- ambang to Dagupan. ng the dangerously swollen Rio Cheko on independent rafts, when the rainy feason was at its worst, we lost three men. one of them a brother officer a . ne ar RP gs CE pak ERIN Raat nek se mpegs but consisting of 18 sweeping channels end the balance swamps and ponds, from six inches to three feet In depth. Leaving Aleoga Nov. 13, with rations for a day and a half, the first channel ~e swam settied the hardtack and sugar. As a mat- ter of fact, it settled the coffee, giao. At noon we found a patch of ground above water, and by burning dry grass boiled some of the weakened coffee grains—no cof- fec from this time on. Some of the men fried some of their water- soaked hardtack, which, during the morn- ing, had assumed proportions which caused haversacks to remind one of the proverbial ‘“nizened purp,”’ but that beat nothing by several laps. At night we had covered 12 miles and reached Calapangau, a small town 12 miles from Victoria, and counted it good sub- marine work. I flatter myself that I can shoulder my proportion of such hardships with any other living man, and confess that I did not care to take a stroll after supping “branch water’ and partaking of boiled duck. There is another story which pettaches to that duck’'s taking off I had hardly stroetch- ed my tired body upon the wet ground when I was summoned by our commanding officer, Lieut. Col.

I found a line of wewly = § constructed trenches a half mile from our outposts, but no insurrectos. Next day we pro- ceeded to Victoria wading and swimming a lake two and a half miles tn width. This was the day before Gens. Wheeler and Wheaton were to attack Tarlac. Our idea was to cut off the retreat of the insurrectos northward, but found they had retrieated north the previous day. We lost no time in recrossing the ting in behind them. Remember that we had started with only one day's rations, and the water had dissolved our salt and sugar, ruined our hard bread and we had eaten our salt meat.- We were now graz- ing. For 27 days we crossed and recrosse4 the Cheko river, sleeping in swamps, wire grass and jungles. Every day rain fell in abundance and day after day we became leaner. I weighed in for that trip at 168 pounds and reported to Lawton at Ting with 132. We were in behind they had reason to something interesting were working in the lead, however, and knew the country well. As a consequence our lack of such knowledge seriously han- dicapped us, and they were stealing every- succeed lake and get- 40) Insurrectos and believe there was after them. They thing eatable in sight. The few houses on the Knoll lands and tenants of the big rice fields in. the swamps were plundered by the insurractos. What they could not eat they destroyed, seeing to ‘t particularly that no sait was left behind for our men. As a con- sequence of this condition of affairs we slew caribous or water buffaloes (native beasts of burden) which we cooked and ate without sait. We killed chickens and ate nce with- out sugar. Weak and growing weaker, the men stayed On their feet. To fall out meant death. Fever attacked us, Day after day they ate raw meat and roten rice, then took their place ‘n the jine of march. As soon as the food became warm in the stomach it rebelled and man after man would step out from that long winding column as it swept through the tall grass wading in water knee deep and vomit, then back into ranks again only to repeat it after the next meal. [I know whereof I speak in this matter, for I was one of them, After the fever began to affect our lean ranks seriously I saw poor devils with tem- perature at 104 degrees, eyes shut, forms bent forward, pull.ng along—blind—insane— yet Sane enough to know that a bolognative knife) drawn across their throat was worse than dropping dead amid their friends. We had no ambulances. Every man stood upon his own pins. They had it to do Every man's burden was equa). So on we pressed. We crowded the fleeing insurrectos s0 close that we made them run their light artillery, packed on caribous, into streams, drop their ammunition end even cooking utensils by the path tin order to lighten their loads, Day after day we expected to overtake them. Day after day we lay down in water disappointed. They were now going westward, evidently heading for Byambang, a point on the Manila & Dagupan Railroad, and when we finally reached that village we found Gen. Mac- Arthur there. He had advanced straight up the railroad and reached it at noon the previous day, and at 6 o'clock on the pre- vious afternoon had fought the band we had been pursuing, kill ng many, and driv- ing the remainder of them northward. We pulled out in hot pursult after the remnant. Lieutenant-Colonel Hawze is not the man to quit the chase until the game is bagged. So sick and weak and hungry as we were, now that we had endured so much, we were after revenge. We dragged along the railroad to Dagupan, captured it, and learned that Maj. Logan had en- gaged the enemy 12 miles east of that town the previous afternoon at San Fabian, !n which fight the gallant Logan was killed. The insurrectos (those not killed or chp- tured) scattered in all directions and ceased to exist as an organization. At Dagupan we waitited for rations and clothing. and incidentally to rest a bit. We were threadbare, rib-bare and sick. One hundred and four of our regiment were sent by rail to the hospital at Manila and there were many more who should have gone, but would not. Our stay there, how- ever, proved short, for on the foliowing day we received orders to move.

He was born in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, Feb. 26, 1800. If he shall live until next Jan. 1 he will have seen the light of three centuries. The old man has ohildren and grandchildren and his grandchildren have grandchildren. All of them united in a grand celebration of his last birthday. “Unele Tom" Hutchison’s childhood was Epent in Kentucky. When two years old he moved with his parents to that state from Virginia, the en- tire journey being made on horseback with his mother. His parents were prosperous people, but “Uncle Tom” worked hard when a boy, and he now recalls those days on his father’s farm as the happiest of his life. He even remembers some of the incidents of the War of 1812, and calls to mind the joyous ecclebration in his neighborhood when the news came of America’s victory over the invading Pritish. In those days it was customary for young men to remain and help their tath- ers until they became of nge, and Thomas Was not married until he reached his ma- jority in 1821. His wife was Miss Mary Tate, who was born in Linceln County, Kentucky, Feb. 18, 1799. Early in 1840 he became interested in the great country being opened and settled in Missourt, and that year rode on horseback to this state and ‘purchased 1°90 acres of Jand in what is now Livingston, Daviess and Grundy Counties. The following year he Teturned with his family, briaging a'so Wnany bushels of timothy, clover, bluegrass and other seeds which were practically un- known to this country in those early ¢ays. Ffe supplied the farmers for many miles Hround with seeds and soon the lowlands and forests were cleared of brush and trees and were replaced by Gelds of waving grass wuch as were grown in his tative state, Hentucky. in 1846 he bullit a big brick house, at that time the largest in this part of the country. The building is still in a good state of pres- ervation. The heavy inside timbers and raf- ters of oak were hewed from the forest near by and are as solid as the day they “were joined together with strips of bark and bands of iron.

He was born a siave in Logan Ceunty, Kentucky, et are on a plantation 12 miles from Russellville. His master was Squire Tillman Offutt. Pos- sessed of more than ordinary energy, strength and intelligence Jim soon became a valuable piece of property to his owner. He was made foreman over the 150 other slaves on the plantation and was forbidden Z ¢ to de any other work. One day, however, the work was lagging, and Jim, in his impatience to have it done, turned in and worked awhile like one of the ST NCLE JIM OFFuTTr AGE 11% Years “hands.”’ For this serious breach of planta- tion et&quette he was soundly whipped. This \ was something new to Jim, and, being @ “high sperrited nigger,’’ he determined to make his escape. The opportunity soon came. His master’s son, Othias, started to Mis- Othias Offutt settled In the northern part souri. Jim, without saying a word, joined of Johnson County, Missouri, and Jim was the party. Young Offutt afterward paid his made overseer over dis farm, This waa in father $1000 for Jim, though both agreed 185 or 1856. that he was worth double that amount. When the Civil war broke out Offutt, te a. OLS: use Jim's phraseology, “took to the Dun,” and Jim was compelied to give aid and com- fort to the rebel cause Ry carrying sup- plies to the busirwhackers. One night while riding through the woods on such ean errand Jim gave way to the African’s propensity to eing end made so much noise that he etampeded several com- panies of soldjers who wete in camp near by and who thought that at least a regiment of the enemy were after them Offutt was captured by the federalg, tal- en to St. Louls and sentenced to be shot He died the day before the time get for the execution. Jim came to Warrensburg about the mid- dle of the war, and placed himself under the protection of the federals. When the slaves were freed, he began to look out for himself, and he has been at it ever since. For many years he has made a precarious living by doing little odd jobs around town, He has been married twice. His first wife died many years ago in Kentucky. His second wife left him in this city about #0 years ago for one, he says, che loved bet- ter. He never became a father. Like most of the older negroes, Jim is deeply religious. Fifty years ago he became @ member in Kentucky of the Free Will Baptist Church—an intermediate between the Hard Shell Baptists of a past age and the Soft Shells or Missionary Baptists of the present day. He is now @ member of Shiloh Baptist Church of this city, and ‘annot @t- tend as frequently as he once did vr as mucF as he would like to do. Uncle Jim never falls to vote the un- scratched Republican ticket. I'ncle Jim is 6 feet 6 inches in height, weighs 130 pounds, and never weighed more than 136. His complexion is chocolate brown, but his hair and beard are almost w bite, His form is quite erect, and he does rot look a day over 8) years. He sees well and hears without difficulty. His volce, howe ever, is returning to childish treble and bee trays his extreme age. He is also beg inning to be troubled with aches and pains, and never goes to bed at night, even in the scorching heat of midsummer, without frst starting a littie fire tn his bedroom. Uncle Jim ts helped a little at times by the county court, but he has never “gone on the county” tn the sense of being sent to the poor farm, and probably never will co long as he can keep a going.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH —IJULY 28, 1900. —— YOUNG HUSBANDS Ladies of Wealth and Position Who Have Re- cently Chosen as Their Mates Men Whose Years Are Few and Whose Accom- plishments are Srnall. ADY RANDOLPH CHURCHILL, § whose wedding to Lieut. George Cornwallis West took place in Lon- don yesterday, was not the first woman of prominence to marry @ man by many years her junior. Lieut. West is 24 years old. Even before he was born his present wife, the brilliant Jennie Jerome of New York, became the wife of Lord Randolph Churchill. Her son, Winston Spencer Churchill, the English war correspondent, born Nov. 30, 1874, is nearly two years older than the young army officer who yesterday became his step- father. The exact age of Lady Churchill is not recorded, but it is very close to 60 years. Bhe was a daughter of the late Leonard Jerome, and married Lord Randolph Churchill In 1872—ltong before the time when the marriage of American heiresses with foreign noblemen hecame fashionable. To her efforts, mote than to any other one thing, it is said, har husband owed his long success as a public man. After his death, five years ago her mind sought ac- tivity in other channels. She devoted her- self to charity. She reveled in soctety. At the commencement of the Boer war sho helped fit up the hospital ship Maine and went as a nurse to the battleflelds of South Africa. Two of her sons were in the field —one a correspondent and one as a soldier. The latter she attefided during a long illness. She had already established the Anglo-Saxon Review, to which none but titled persons were asked to contribute. and which sells at $5 a copy. But all this time her heart was with young Lieut. West, and no amount of gossip, no amount of reviling eould alter her determination to wed him, once they were engaged. The Prince of Wales took a hand, at the urgent request of the Cornwallis West family, and tried to have him or- dered back to South Africa. But this failed. Then the young soldier was sun- struck, Still the determination of Lady Churchill was not moved, and she declared this was only one more reason why she should wed him. “And so they were married.”’ G. W. Steevens, the English war corres- pondent who was Killed a few months ago in South Africa, was the husband of a woman twice his age, and none mourned the death of the brilliant voung writer more sincerely than she. Their devotion to each other Is said to have been remarkable for -its constancy. Her age is about 60 vears. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.. when barely 21 vears old, married Miss Wilson of New York. She was so much his sentor that a startled crv went up from the entire house of Vanderbilt when their intention of wed- ding became apparent. His father threct- ened to disinherit him. This meant a loss of several million dollars to the young man, but he paid the matter no heed. He was duly disinherited, and {t is said that his marriage to Miss Wilson hastened the stroke of paralysis which caused his fath- er’s death. Still, from a standpoint of hap- piness, his wedding may be said to be an entire success. Looking backward, Dr. Samuel Johnson, the famous old English novelist, poet and philosopher, author of ‘‘Rasselas’’ and “Paul and Virginia,”’ married a widow who was not only much older than himself, but decidediy ugly. Yet Boswell records that they ‘‘lived happy ever after.”’ George Washington, the Father of His Country was captivated by the graces of Widow Martha Custis, although she was several vears older than he. Not only wé@re they happy. but it is recorded that she had much to’ do with shaping the career and guiding the course of the nation’s first president. The esteem in which she is still held, after 100 years, Is evidenced by the respectful attention always paid to the name of. Martha Washington. Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson, a divor- cee, famed as a writer on economic sub- fects, on June 16 became the wife of George Houghton Gilman, a New York lawyer, sev- eral vears her junior. Mrs. Stetson ts widelv known as the author of two books which won her in- stant recognition: “Women and Economics” a prose treatise, and “In This Our World,” a collection of verse embodying her views on economic questions: also for that weird story. ‘The Yellow Wall Paper.” During the last winter she delivered a series of lectures tn St. Louts. She became acquainted with Mr. Gilman in New York three years ago. Mrs. Stetson was’ then at work on her book. ‘‘Women and Economics.’ Mr. Gil- man gave her valuable assistance. He con- sulted authorities and much of the steno- graphic work was done in his office. After leaving St. Louts Mrs. Stetaon went to New York. She was engaged in the prep- aration of a new book entitled “Work.” Mr. Gilman again assisted her materially. There was proposal of marriage. At that time Mrs. Stetson had made arrangements for an excursion to Detroit. She was met there by Mr. Gilman, and two days later th» ceremony which made them one was per- formed. Mrs. Stetson ts 39. Mr. Gilman's age is said to be 33. The couple are now spend- ing the summer on Long Island. Mrs. Frances Hodgeon Burnett ts another. This vear, at the age of 60 the woman who won fame as the author of “Little Lord Fauntleroy.” became the wife of Stephen Townsend, who ts at least 10 years her ju- nior. Mrs. ako. in 1898 She became acqvainted with Mr. Town- fend in London at a time wher her son said to be the original of ‘Little Lord Fauntlerov. was very ill. He and the bov became great friends. Mr. Townsend also Hiked the mother. He was a _ physician but had never practiced his. profession His tastes were literary and he had pro- duced in London something which attracted attention. He associated himself with Mrs Burnett, and together they produced “Nixie” and “A Lady of Quality.’’ The latter they dramatized and Mrs. Townsend's name appears on the bilis with Mrs. Bur- nett's. This association of minds appears to have as married 27 years Burnett Burnett was first She was divorced from Dr. produced something stronger than friend- ship. Mrs. Burnett was thrown from a carriage in London. Mr. Townsend paid her close attention.

She was born in 1814. In 1881, at the age of 67 years, she was married to William Ashmead Bartlett. an American, only 30 years of age. He took her name. He is now a member of parliament. He Is 49 years of age. She is 86. Still, notwith- standing the fact that there is a disparity of 87 years in their ages, it is evident, by inference, owing to a lack of report to the contrary, that they have been living hap- pily together for 19 years Still another one of these remarkable mat- rimonial.alliances was contracted this year in the United States. Mrs. Cornelius B. Marco, 78 years of age, was married to Willard H. Hutchinson, an actor, aged 24. The bride was worth $3,900,000. The ceremony was performed Feb. i, 199), at Richmond, Va. Then and there the aged bride bestowed upon her youthful husband the title to her immense wealth and gave him power of attorney to sign her name and receive her income of $120 000 to $150,000 a year. Recently he deeded back to her one-half of the property. or, rather, they had agreed to put the entire estate in trust, each to draw one-half of the rentals on the real e¢s- tate Mrs. Ilutchinson owned in New York, Montreal, Boston and elsewhere. The papers have been signed and are in the hands of Lawyer Paul Sheldon, trustee, of No. 141 Broadway, New York. He is to collect the rent, and each month to the husband his half and to the wife her equal part. ; This deeding of half the property back to his aged bride does not mean that young Hutchinson and his wife are at odds. On the contarry. they are whiling away the sultry days at Manhattan Beach apparent- ly very happy. Mrs. Hutchinson had already been mar- ried arti divorced three times before she formed an attachment for her present youthful husband. “It simply means this,”’ explained the young husband: “TI voluntarily fixed things s0 my wife can have as her own one-half of the income of the estate which she so xenerously bestowed upon me just after we were married. It was an awful pile of money to fall into the hands of a young man so unused to handling big amounts. “The arrangement we have just made Is like this: Suppose you and T had a huge watermelon. Suppose it was too heavy for me to carry and you insisted upon giving it to me. Then suppose I did not care to deprive you entirely of it and went te a third party and said ‘Keep this melon for us and give us each a slice now and then’— there you are. send “Oh, no, there is no quarrel between my wife and me over money matters. She {s fond of me and 1 of her. True, she is much older than I am, and has been married three times before this, but what of it? She has been good to me and won my grati- tude forever. It’s a long story anda strange one. “You see, I am an actor—or was one. 1 have played in various companies al! over this country, having been on the stage for a number of years, young as Iam.

I., and the people of Sea CHff are asking “Which was the hero of this e‘oOpement—Nathaniel Schenck or Jack Mce- Ewen?’ Concerning the heroine there can be but one answer. She was Bessie Cottrell of Brooklyn. Now she is Mrs. McEwen. Her father was a lumber merchant in Ray- mond street and a man of no small con- stderation in polities. Bessie had her own sphere of influence in society. slavish of her courtiers was gallant, good-natured Nat son of a wealthy resident of Flatbush. Bessie didn't know a nicer young man than They were engaged, Both families were agreeable to the match. The wedding was set for next fall. Bessie went for the summer to Sea Cliff. So did Nathaniel, whom everybody calls ‘Nat.’ Bessie made new friends, new ad- mirers. Nat was proud. The sense of possession fgladdened him.

GEN.ED — rrr eioirirosirtins WARD FOR An Aged American Soldier, Now in Retire- ment, Tells of His Agonizing Experience With the Chinese Boxers 40 Years Ago, When Their Punishments, as Now. Were the Refine- ment of Cruelty. NEW YORK, July 27. Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. HERE is one man in New York who knows the exquisite agony of torture the Chinese Poxers are Cap- able of inflicting. At their hands he has which been put in frons, dragged through the hot sun In chains, stood naked in the hot, burning squares of Chinese cities, while crueities unspeakable were infiicted upon him, and forced to witness the executions of others, with the promise of dying on the morrow, while he stood knee-deep in the blood of the massacred. Yet Gen. Edward Forester still lives to tell his frightful tale and still suffers the effects of his tortures, though 40 have intervened since his ransom. Gen. Forester was the commander-in- chief of Li Hung Chang’s army when the last uprising of the Boxers was put down. Then he was young, vigorous, reckless and filled with the spirit of war, and with this spirit commanded the handful of men that afterward came to be known as “The Ever Victorious Army.” Today, as the result of the horrors and hardships through which he has passed, he is broken in health and epirit. the fine, soldierly form is bent, the firm tread totters, the head that planned skilful victories for the imperial throne of China is white as snow. Gen. Forester lately went to a sanitarium in Horneslisville, where he watches eag- erly for the news from China and rehearses the events of his wonderful! career. Li Footai, now krown to the Li Hung Chang, was then in command of the imperial army of China, and it was from him that Forester indirectly received his commission. Gen. Forester is an been a soldier of fortune us and his life has been thrilling in tail. When the Civil war threatened he was located in the North, but his puthies were with the South, so he cided to solve the perplexing situction by the Hector, that vessel in Japan, at which that the Boxers were then uprising in China, and Gen.

Every conceivable indignity was heaped upon him, and even today the old man’s face grows haggard with agony when he recalls those awful days. At every city where the Boxers halted these tortures were repeated, each one trying to outdo the other in devising cruelties. When Chapco, the destination and head- quarters of the Boxers was reached, For- ester was imprisoned in a cell overlook- ing the public square. His chain was left sufficiently long for him to get to the windew, where he was compelled to wit- ness hourly the tortures and executions that took place, and was told each day that euch fate would be his upon the morrow. Suddenly the persecution ceased. He was given food that he could eat, end his chains were removed. He was also allowed to breathe fresh air. Then cne day he was escorted into the presence of Wang. There the protecting king offered $50.0 to take command of the Boxers Forester refused the offer. Wang then offered $100,000 if he would go to Shanghai as a spy. The offer was indignantly refused. Again and again the cffere was repcated. Then Forester broached the subject of a ransom. He was sure the imperialists would pay $!0,0% for his release But the Boxers were not in need of money. What thev needed were arms and ammunition. One million rounds cf ammunition, two hundred siands of arms, and fifteen hundred pounds of opium was the ransom Wang finally agreed he would take. Forester had him un- der him. no hopes to secure free- dom at such a cost. It meant strengthen- ing the Boxers’ forces. But he wrote to li Hung Chang and placed the conditions before him. The note was taken by cour- ier, and Wang gave 20 days grace. Then, if the government was not heard from, the long-deferred death by torture was to take place. Gen. Fvurester describes those days of waiting as the most acute tcrture be un- derwent. After 18 days he saw first the topmast, then the sails and then the hull of the vessel which he krew brought life end liberty and al! that he thought for- ever lost. So started the personal friend- ship between Gen. Forester and Li Hung Chang, and in all the world the Chinese diplomat has no more faithful admirer. Gen Forester was taken to Shanghai and all possible military honors shown him. It took months of careful nursing to bring him back to health, but as soon as he was able to get back to camp he was anxious to take up the thread of battle where he had dropped it. Forester knew there was no better way to prove his appreciation to Li Hung Chang than to win a victory. He therefore planned to regain Sing Pu, the only the ever victorious army had lost. It proved a victory so supreme that it paid for his ransom. Thousands of Box- ers, among them many high offictals, were captured, and Li sent the mayor Sung Kiang to Sing Pu with full authority to cut, kill or take away those captured. The scene that followed turned Forester sick, used as he was to bloodshed and battle. Blood ran like rivers in the streets, and corpses and fragments of corpses floated out at the gates. Then occurred a pretty Incident of war. A son of one of the Wangs was led one morning to the slaughter. He was the same age and resembled the boy who had befriended Forester. The general inter- fered and the mayor readily acquiesced. Forester placed the boy under his own care and kept hi mwith him threugh sub- sequent tours of Egypt and Furope until he returned to his native land. Then the young Wang, filled with American push, which Ferester’s training had iInstliled, went West and settled in Lansing, Mich. There he married an American girl, and is today one of the prosperous merchanis of that city. After Gen. Ward's death Gen. Forester succeeded him in command of the army, but his health had been seriously crippled and after several more victorious battles he was ccempelled to resign. Gen. Forester has never recovered from the shocks of the torture through which he passed. Yet even though his body had re- covered, his memory} would haunt him al- ways with the scenes of horrors.

The Chinese gather the years together into cvyeles, as Oeccidentals do, but for some extraordinary reason the cycle consists of 6) years. This cycle ts very ancient and probably has something to do with old as- trological superstitions. Another method of numbering years is by the reigns of the emperors. The pres- ent year is the 36th year of the 76th cycte, or the year 4336 since qe adoption of the present chronology. Each year has a separate name, formed by some combination of 10 “stem” char- acters joined with 2 “branch” characters. These are used tn an ingenious way that could be described only by a lengthy ar- ticle and would probably then be not quite intelligible to the western mind. To ge straight to anything ts impossible to the Oriental, and the complicated system of naming the years is proof of Chinese in- genulty. : Of late years it has been supposed that the Chaideans and Chinese had some inter- course at the time when Yao reformed the calendar, and that the two countries worked together in making the change. Certain it is that a similar event occurred tn Chal. dea about the same time. Dut whenever the calendar was adopted it is likely for a long time to withstand the march of prog- ress.

Outside of the individual pigeon fanciers, of whom there are 25 in this city, the hom- ing birds are raised as a sort of pastime and afford unlimited sport for hundreds of St. Loulsans. Races from 100 to 600 miles distance have become a feature and are brought off twice a year under the auspices of the Mound City Homing Pigeon Club. Prominent among the members of this or- ganization are Robert Aull, president of the St. Louis Fair Association; John Ww. Parkinson, 1219 Euclid avenue; 8S. P. Mc- Chesney, 5619 Clemens avenue; Adolph Gla- ser, 3218 Osceola street; E. P. Nichols, Ben- ton: C. J. Sadler, Old Orchard; George Smith, 6041 Ridge avenue; R. Ploegge, 4260 John avenue; H. W. Buschman, 3062 Sheri- dan avenue, and Frank P. Jones, 5117 Ken- sington avenue. All of them are identified with the Na- tional Homing Bird Association, whose headquarters are in Philadelphia. Each has a loft of from 30 to 50 birds, ag- gregating in worth $18,000. Kensington, a 2-year-old carrier pigeon owned by Mr. F. P. Jones, holds the cham- pionship record of America for 200 miles. The bird traversed that distance at the rate of 1397 yards per minute, which Is a far higher rate of speed than is made by the fastest trains. In a recent race from Big Sandy, Tex., to St. Louis Mr. J. W. Parkinson's bird Lex- ington covered the distance, 500 miles, in less than 19 hours. This record is seldom approached. Perhaps no bird in the country has made more extensive tours than Kensington. He has journeyd all over the western and southern part of the United States. He is four yvears old and began his traveling feats when only 10 years old. ’ The first vear he carried messages @ to- tal distance of 1500 miles; the second year 9500 miles, and since he attained distinc- tion as a racer of the hardiest kind Lex- ington has exercised his wings over £000 miles of “Uncle Sam's domain. Fifty birds were entered in a contest from Piedmont to St. Louis, 106 miles, four weeks ago. H. W. Buschmann’s bird won, mak- ing the distance in 4 hours and 17 minutes. or at an average rate of speed of 1055 yards per minute. Physicians situated fn the country have sent to St. Louis for carrier pigeons and through them they communicate with their patients who are not easy of access. Recently several St. Loulsans established the Belgian Homing Pigeon Association, of which Henry Knight has been elected pres- ident. Races between the birds owned by the members of the two organizations are con- templated. The Mound City Club has already com- pleted arrangements for a series of con- tests, to take place {in August and Septem- ber. The schedule is as follows: Aug. 15—Kimmswick, Mo., 20 miles. Aug. 18—De Soto, Mo. 40 miles. Aug. 21—Ironton, Mo., 75 miles. Aug. 24—Piedmont, Mo., 106 miles. Sept. 1—Corning, Mo.. 160 miles. Sept. 8—Swifton, Ark., 202 miles. The young birds, that is those under 2 years, constitute the fall entries. Those above that age are eligible only in the con- tests that take place in the spring. In the series of races for the old birds, concluded two weeks ago, John W. Parkin- son carried off the prize, which is a solid silver cup. By John W. Parkinson, Corres- ponding Secretary of the Mound City Homing Pigeon Association. HREE or four years ago there were Pe 200 trained carrier pigeons in St. Louis. During that period, however, the sport made phenomenal strides and to- _—— day St. Lonis holds a commendable pos!l- ‘tion with some of the leading cities of the country. Philadelphia, of course. stands first, that city was probably the first to engage in training the birds on an ex- tensive scale, I recollect reading in a Boston paper of a record made by a carrier pigeon and:I de- cided I could beat the time made. So I! went East for a pair of birds and trained them. That was in 1897. I had much suc- cess with other St. Loulisans who started bird races. The idea of a club suggested itself and soon after its birth the sport received a fresh impetus. Each season registers many recruits to the ranks of the bird-training industry, and at no time has the interest flagged. There is a big demand for homing pigeons, so called from their wonderful attachment to their home or loft. They are a species by themselves, and the ordinary pigeon such as the fantail or the nun might be kept in a loft for years and yet if set adrift never find its way back. In fact, the fantail could not fly more than a few miles before being thor- oughly exhausted. as Frequently the common pigeons gain en- trance to my loft and then a battle royal ensues. The carrier pigeon is the gamecock among birds and will pick its adversaries to death. When a stray pigeon enters the loft he is immediately reminded in a most forcible and unpleasant manner that his company is undesirable. This indicates, too, the fine aristocracy of the homing pi- geon. The use of the bird is becoming more ex- tensive all the time. Not long ago I hada call from a doctor in one of the interior counties for a pair of homing pigeons. Two were sent. The physician has many patients who live quite a distance from him and he cannot reach them inside of five or six hours. To save time he puts his car- rier pigeon into service. The messages tell- ing of the condition of his patient are de- livered daily so that he readily ascertain whether his presence is needed. In all of the great battles fought in re- cent years the carrier pigeon has performed giant service. For a time he was the only salvation of the English army penned up bird would have to rise in the air to a ie HOMING PIGEONS OF ST. LOUIS.

Daily he was utilized for sending messages from the beleaguerd ar- my to Durban. Whether the homing pigeon instinct Is that of sight or location is a much-mooted question. I am inclined to the theory of sense of location as opposed to dependence on sight. Frequently the homing pigeon has come in from sea a distance of 500 miles. It must needs have risen to a wonderful height to afford corroboration of the sight theory. The of the must overcomes to afford its eyes scope. In order to overcome the curvature of the earth’s surface and see a distance of 400 miles the curvature world’s surface be height of 20 miles. It has been shown by those who have risen to a height of seven miles that the cold is unbearable and that pigeons when dropped from a balloon fall like lead, so great ts the density of the at- mosphere. From this it will be seen that the theory of sight lacks stable conclu- sions. Training carrier pigeons is a fascinating sport. I have 40 in my loft. Of that num- ber seven are racers. When a bird is born we send notice to the national association and in turn receive a small plece of aluminum on which are engraved two letters indicating the year of its birth. For 1990 the letters thus are N. H. The aluminum is fastened around see the bird’s leg and is never removed. This is done to keep a record of age. When 2 weeks old he is fed on corn. The actual training does not begin until he reaches the fourth week. Then the bird is taken a few feet from the loft and allowed to find its way back. After it is 6 weeks old it is taken a dis- tance of 300 or 400 yards and released. At the end of the 10th week the bird is ready for a race. His strength is then put to a practical test, because there are weak and strong birds. just as there are men of opposite physical makeup. Before a race the birds are sent by ex- press to the point from which they are to "LEXINGTON" < OWNED BY: J-WY PARKINSOM YOUNG BIRD cuR T? BE CONTESTED F500 KVILES IN 4 HouRS fiy.

ILLY is the unpretentious name of a fine looking sorrel horse of utique tastes and exceptional attainments owned by Capt. Robert E. Lee of 1918 Laflin street. . Just now Billy is engaged in the rather conventional pursuit of transporting his owner to and from his office every day and occasionally propelling the Lee family con- veyance in the evening. Rut Billy has not always lived this prosiac life. Born on a ranch in Mon- tana, he has traveled over 6000 miles as a portion of Unicle Sam’s army and learned, among other things, to answer bugle calls, drink beer out of a pall and extend his front foot to visitors who come into his presence. Billy had lived about four years of the life that horses in Montana usually lead until Col. Jay L. Torrey (who was once a St. Louisan) organized his regimer: of rough riders. When they were ordered to Jacksogville, Fla., Billy was taken along as part of the regiment’s equine equip- ment. There he was purchased fxom Col. Torrey by Capt. Lee, who was then cap- tain of Company M of the Sixth Missouri. Capt. Lee rode him about Jacksonville whenever his official duties called for any travel and then to Tampa, Fla., and later took him to Havana. While the Sixth was encamped at Havana, Capt. Lee rode 200 niiles into the interior of Cuba. After Capt. lee was mustered out he brought Rillv back with him to this country, stopping for several months in New York returning to this cfty. It was while in the army that Billy's idiosyncracies developed One duy some of the privates in Capt. Lee's company gave the horse some beer. It scemed to agree with him very much. Thereafter, whenever his sharp eyes detect any of the soldiers in camp drinking beer he would quietly wend his way towards them in the hope of securing some of the am- ber fluid. Capt. Lee saw no harm in al- lowing his charge: to indulge sparingly in the foamy beverage and cccasionally gave him a sip that happened to be left in a small bottle. At one Aime, the captain avers, Billy drank hal®@ pail of becr at ee eee ee - Delolre ——«, HOW" ro VERY summer, from th@yvarious re- sorts and from farms Where guests —— -- are entertained, come reports of chil- dren being poisoned, through the skin by handling noxious plants, or by eating roots and berries. These are usually city boys. Girls are rarely poisioned, unless it be by some especially attractive vine or flower. The that prac- tically grows wild is unfit he is care- ful about even handling those’ with which he is not familiar. The city boy has the courage of his own ignorance, and in the pride of his heart he loves to prove his ability to live on roots and berries like his favorite heroes, and to make lad- ders*out of vines with which to let him- self down from dizzy heights. The vine that he is likely to make use of oftenest is the poison ivy, for that is found everywhere, climbing up rocks and trees by means of tiny clawlike rootlets. No one meed be deceived by this beautiful vine, for knows plant that for food, and country boy every one standing and evinced a desire to “put away’ even more. The limit of Billy's capabilities in this direction has never been tested, but his owner inclines to the be- lief that his hero of many dress parades, if not battles, would very likely allow him- 5e1f to become intoxicated were a suf- fi@ency ot the amber brew placed within his reach. Billy has mede a reputation for himself as a thirsty horse in other ways than by displaying a surprising fondness for Leer. He became imbued early in his army career “with the military maxim that it is a very good thing; for any hody about a camp to be ueble to take care of himself. He saw the soldiers, when fey were thirsty, turn on the faucet of the company ice wuter barrel and noticed Cubans pick up the end of a hose and proceed to regale themselves with the water that exuded from ite end. In a short time he mastcred both of these nccomplishments. Even since his arriva! in St. Louis, Billy has been known to place his capacious mouth over a converent faucet and, with his sturdy molars, twist the handle until the water ran in a stream sufficient to allay his thirst. Capt. Lee says, also, that while in Central Park, New York, one day Billy picked up the end o! a hose from the grass and took a drink for himself without assistance. In acquiring the military art of talking care of himself, Billy incidentally acquired the quality of curiosity. Whenever he sees Capt. Lee with a newspaper or other paper package in his pocket, he lifts it out with his teeth. If there is nothing rood to eat within the paper covering he re- places it. One of the hostlers in the stable where Capt. Lee keeps his equine wonder during business hours can give conclusive testimony to Billy's ability in this direc- tion. He went into the stable one day lust week with a coffee cake wrapped in paper and deposited the package in the vicinity of the military steed. After he had gone Billy deftly removed the paper and ate the coffee vake. Billy’s adaytabilitv for military work is as marked as his appetite is exceptional. Jie had not been long in the army berore he learned to distinguish the bugle calls the three leaflets which form the com- pound leaf is an unfailing mark of ident{- fication. All other vines, that in any Wav resemble the poison ivy, have five leaflets. Poisoned hands should be bathed in car- bolized soap and witch hazel and bandaged. So that by no chance could they touch the face. Should this poison reach the sight might be destroyed. The other plant of our northern woods that is poisonous to the touch is the poison elder or sumac. It is a small tree growing from six to twelve feet in height. The leaves are compound, with 11 to 13 long narrow leaflets. arranged in pairs on either side the mid-rib, which gives it an attrac- tive, palm-like appearance. mueh like the true sumac, The worst cases of poisoning from this plant have come from cutting the canes, for the long, smooth rods... of the thickness of the thumb, look to be just the thing for fishing poles.

Special Correspondence of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. REMARKABLE and costly example A of building removal has just been completed at New Castle, Law- rence County, and all for spite, it is said. John Stevenson, one of the steel and iron magnates of the Ohio Valley, has de- liberately taken down, stone by stone, his magnificent $65,000 mansion in New Castle (which if completed would have been by al! odds the finest in town) and removed it to Sharon. According to New Castle reports Mr. Stevenson was disgruntled because not one of the four trusts to which he sold his holdings in four of the largest mills itn New Castle gave him a position in any managerial or directorate capacity. “The town can’t have my house. I won't let it stay In a town that has treated me so badly,’’ he is reported to have said. Ten days ago the inhabitants of New Cas- tle were astonished to see a large gang of workmen approach the new house on fagh- ljonable Wallace avenue and begin tearing it down. Subsequently 45 freight cars loaded with stone, brick and lumber were speeding to Sharon. The cost of the removal is enormous, and would build a handsome house in itself. The home was to have cost about $60,000 when completed. The moving of the first story and cellar walls (all that was erected in New Castle) to Sharon, a distance of 22 miles, cost $30,000. Thus the palatia] resi- dence will cost at least $90,000 before it Is completed. This is 45 per cent more than the original estimate.

Stock in the four combinations was given for the holdings in the New Castile concerns, but when it came to retaining Mr. Stevenson there was a hitch. As he expressed it, “there were not nough jobs to go ‘round,” and he was left out in the cold.

CHINA---THE COUNTRY AND [TS PEOPLE. ulers: MPBROR KWANGSSU is a feeble man of twenty- ning ninth ef the Manchu dynasty of Tsing, which overthrew the native dynasty of Ming in the middle of the seventeenth century. Two years ago he formally resigned power to his aunt, the Empress Dowager, who had dominated him from infancy. She is a remarkable woman, born a slave, and had domi- nated two Emperors before him—her husband and her 60n. The Government of the empire iS ostensibly founded on that of the family. Supreme direction is vested in @ grand council known as the Chun Chi Ch’u. The administration consists of the Cabinet—Nei-Ko—com- posed of two Mancku and two Chinese members, with two Ministers from the Great College—Han-Lin—whose duty it is to see that the religious laws of the empire are not violated. Under the Nei-Ko are seven government boards, each presided oven by a Manehu and a Chinese These arv the boards of civil appointments, of revenues, of rites and ceremonies, of military affairs, of publio works of criminal] jurisdiction and of admiralty. Of great authority is the Tu-Ch’a-Yuen, a board of publie censors, consisting of from forty to fifty mem- bers under a Manchu and a Chinese. It is theoreti- cally above the Cabinet itself. It has the privilege of presenting remonstrances to the sovereign and one of its members must be present at every meeting of 2 government board. The Tsungli Yamen ie the Foreign Office, compris- ing all the members of the Chun Chi Ch’u and six other dignitaries. Over each of the eighteen Provinces of China is + Viceroy, who is responsible to the Emperor. Each Province is sub-divided into departments ruled by pr»- fects, and each department into districts with ind'- vidual rulers. Finally, each town and village has its governing body. Leaders RINCE CHING, uncle of the Emperor and head of the Tsungli Yamen until his position was usurped by Prince Tuan. Ching is well disposed toward foreigners. He is the only member of the Tsungli Yamen with a broad knowledge of foreign politics Prince Tuan, father of the heir apparent to the throne, is the fifth son of Emperor Tao Kuang. | Is qwer forty years old.

Is fond of athletic sports and fist-fights; is a daring rider: Tuan is noted for his vigorous action on hasty impulses. Rabidly anti-for- eign in sentiment. To Tuan is attributed the order to all the Viceroys to attack and exterminate all foreign- ers in China. Got himself elected President of the Tsungli Yamen early in June, when he seized the reins of government and supplanted imperial power. Tuan is generalissimo of all the Chinese forces.

A man of liberal views and versatile talents; favorable to railways; originator of the Chi- mese navy. Though degraded by his imperial master in the Chino-Japanese war, Li Hung Chang has in the end succeeded in regaining the favor of the Emperor.

Columbus thought he had reached China when he discovered America. Europe learned something more of China in the thir- teenth century, when Jenghiz and his Mongolian hordes overran Northern Asia, Persia, Armenia, Russia and part of Asia Minor and threatened to deluge Chris- tendom. After that the great Khan was visited by princes, envoys and priests from the countries of Europe. The first European visitor to China proper—or Cathay vas Marco FPo.o. the explorer, No one knows the origin of the Chinese race, bui they probably came from the region southeast of the Caspian Sea~—wandering tribes, naked, without houses ana knowing nothing of fire. Having settled along the Yellow River, they learned to cultivate grain for food and flax for clothing. Next they discovered the value of the silk worm, planted mulberry trees, developed trade and established fairs. They had some knowledge of astronomy and prac- tised hieroglyphic writing. By degrees they exterminated the inferior tribes to south, north, east and west of them—all save a smal! remnant who took refuge in the mountainous regions of Kweichow i Kwangse, ‘and whose descendants hold out against the Chinese to this day. Confucius begins his history with the Emperor Yaou, who reigned more than 4,000 years ago. For many cen- turies after that China expanded and grew more powerful and populous. Confucius was born in 531 B. C. He was a great ‘hilosopher and imoralist—among the greatest me of-all time—but he lived and died unappreciated. China at that period was torn with civil strife. It Was regenerated by a very wise Emperor named Che Hwang Te, who came to the throne in 246 B. C. Che Hwang Te was a combination of Charlemagne and Alfred the Great. History calls him “‘the First Universal Emperor.’ He built roads, canals, public buiidings and a wonderful palace. With an army of 300,000 men he routed the Tartars and drove them in:o the mountains of Mongolia. He suppressed a great rebellion and reconstructed the empire. Having observed during his campaign against the Tartars that the northern states were building lines of fortification along their frontiers for protection against the barbarians, he conceived the idéa of a gigantic wall extending along the entire northern frontier of the empire from the sea to the Kilcan Mountains. Labor was plentiful and the work began at once. How well it was done the traveller may see to this day. But the good Che Hwang Te died before it was completed. It is easy to skip a thousand years or more of Chi- nese history. In the thirteenth century uprose Jenghiz Khan, the great Mongolian conqueror. From being 2 vassal of the Tartars he overcame them and swept over China, as he afterward threatened to sweep over Europe. China grew greater under successors. Never was the empire so powerful as under the great Khan Kublai, who ascended the throne in 1359. His sway extended from the Frozen Sea to the Straits of Malacea. All Asia except India, Arabia and the extreme west paid him tribute. This was the great Khan visited by Marco Polo. who admired him hugely. But his Chinese subjects looked on him as a barbarian. The Mongol dynasty founded by Jenghiz Khan was overthrown 150 years after that g-eat man’s death and a Chinaman named Choo Yuen Chang, the son of a laboring man, besame Emperor. He drove out ‘>e Mongols and proved a wise monarch. Thus wus founded the Ming dynasty. In the fifteenth century Cochin China rebelled and gained her independence. In the following century Japan twice invaded Corea, the second time destroying the Chinese fleet, was afterward evacuated by the Japanese and reoccupied by the Chinese. A hundred years later China had trouble with the Tartars and Manchus and was torn with rebellion. The Emperor committed suicide when one of the rebel leaders entered Peking. The general commanding on the Manchu frontier made peace with the enemy and invited them into China to crush the rebels. They came, wiped out the rebels, took Peking and- staved. They have been there ever since. They founded the dynasty of which the present Emperor iz the ninth. There was a great deal of fighting over it. One of the picturesque characters of that time was Koxinga, son of a Chinese buccaneer, who worried the Manchus until they captured him by treachery. Koxinga drove the Dutch out of Formosa and reigned over it as its king until it pleased him to hand the island over to China. It was the Manchu invaders who fastened China the fashion of wearing pigtails. Kang He, who became Emperor in 1661, was the Dr. Johnson of China. He published the first. dictionary. He also conquered Bhibet. His reign of sixty yeeros was marked by an earthquake, during which 400,09) people in Peking are said to have perished. ’ His grandson, Keen Lung, annexed Ili and Eastern Turkestan, but failed to conquer Burmah and Cochin China, both of which he invaded. His generals in 179 marched 70,000 mén into Nepaul to within sixty miles of the British frontiers, subdued the Ghurkas and Ne- paulese and gained a tighter grip on Thibet. In the reign of Kea King, his fifteenth son, in whose favor he abdicated, George III. of England sent Lord Macartney te protest against. outrages on ~Eneglish merchants and request favors for the East India Com- pany. The Embassy was graciously received, but the favors were not granted. As the nineteenth century advanced the troubles of Ingdish merchants at Canton increased because the Chinese Government objeeted to the importation of his rule and that of his Corea upon opium. England declared war—the “opium” war—in 1840. When Chusan and the Bogue forts fell China agreed to give up Hongkong and an indemnity of $6.000000. England continued her victories at Amov, Ningpo, Tinghai, Chapoo, Shanghai and Chinkeangfoo, and Nanking was threatened, when the Chinese Gov- ernment secured peace by paying an Indemnity of $21,- w0.0% and opening to foreign trade the four ports of Arroy, Fuhchowfoo, Ningpo and Shanghai. \"nder his successor, Heen Fung, arose the great Taeping rebellion, which was an attempt of the Chi- nese to drive out the Tartars, overthrow the dynasty and place on the throne a youth who was said to be the heir in suecession to the Ming dynasty. Th? leadership of the rebeilion, however, was seized by a Christian convert named Hung Sew Tseuen, who en- ticed away the pretender’s followers and aimed at the throne for himself. He took Nanking and proclaimed himself Emperor Teen Wang (Heavenly King), first of the Taeping dynasty. For a few years his armies triumphed north and east. In 1857 England declared war on the reign ing dynasty in consequence of the Arrow affair and captured Canton. France helped England and the allies took Peking. When peace had been deciared the Chinese Government resumed operations against th Taeping rebels It engaged Major Gordon, of the Royal Engineers the hero who was destined to perish at Khartoum— and he licked the Chinese army into such good shape that the rebellion was crushed in 1864 and Nanking re- captured after twelve years In 1873 the foreign Ministers at Peking obtained the right of audience with the Emperor—the right of gaz- ing on the “‘sacred countenance.” That Emperor was Tung Che, son of the present Empress Dowager Tung Che died of small-pox in 1875 without naming an heir, and the Empress Dowager chose for his suc- cessor the youngest of her nephews, who has sinc? nominally reigned under the name of Kwang Su, whi-rna means of glory.’ But the real monarch has been his able and ambitious aunt. Kwang Su’'s reign has been unfortunate. The event marking it before the present Boxer which has set all Christendom thundering at China’s gates, was the war with Japan five years ago, from which China emerged with badly damaged prestige. “Succession chief revo, t Religion: HREE religions are recognized in China—Confu- cianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

CSOUPCES: CS. »FRICULTURE is the greatest occupation of the Chinese. Land all over the empire is freehold Families hold it subject to an annual tax. Novo land can be sold until every one of the nearest kindred have refused to buy. When the sale is made and reg- istered 6 per cent. of the purchase money must be given to the district ruler, who thus insures the legal- ity of the transaction, Farm implements are primitive and the farm animals to be seen are mostly the ox and the buffalo. The raising of fruit and fluwers is universal. In the north wheat, barley, maize, millet. peas and beans are raised. Sugar, indigo, cotton and rice are grown chiefly in the south. Opium is an important p-oduct. Tea is grown only in the west and south, but the mulberry tree is cultivated everywhere, in consequence of which silk is perhaps the most important manu- factured product of the empire. China is one of the most important coal countries in the world. Every one of her eighteen provinces con- tains large deposits. Eastern Shansi has an anthracite area of 13,500 miles in extent. The western part of the same province has a bi- tuminous section nearly as large. In Hunan the coa: beds cover an area of 21,700 square miles. The commerce of China naturally is immense. A country having so many millions of people, all demand- ing sustenance and all capable of producing something of profit to the world, could not have otherwise than Breat possibilities in the way of commerce. It is this possibility, in fact, that has attracted the nations of the world to her.

Of imports China takes the following: Opium, cotton goods, raw cotton, woollen goods, metals, coal, oil, seaweed and fishery products.) She exports as follows: Tea, silk, sugar, straw braid, hides, paper, clothing, chinaware and pottery. Her shipping activity is great. During 1897 44,509 vessels of 33,752,362 tons entered and left her ports. o ] Railways: ( re | N all China there are only 317 miles of railway iu [ operation. There are two lines belonging to the Im perial Government—one from Feking to Shanhai- kwan by way of Tientsin, 300 miles, and the other from Shanghai to Woosung, 17 miles. Railways in course of construction measure— RussiaQ, 1.49% miles; Belgian, 700 miles; Chinese 179 miles. The most important of these is the Stretensk-Vladivostock Railway, an extension of the Russian trans-Siberian line, which the Boxers- have begun to demolish Russian capital is paying for 1,000 miles of it in Chi nese territory. It should be finished in three years ana will be of great strategic importance to Russia. Railways surveyed or in course of being surveyed measure: British 739 miles; British-American, 709 miles: German, 439 miles; French, 420 miles; Russo- Chinese, 130 miles: Chinese, “7 miles. Of these the Hankow-Canton Railway ts a concession to a syndi- cate combination of British and Americans, ané@ it is expected to be a valuable property, since it passes through some very rich provinces, particularly that of Hunan, hitherts closed to foreigners. Railways projected but not surveyed measure: German, 600 miles; British, 470. To summarize, there are in China 2 270 miles of rail- way built or being built, and 3,577 miles projected.

The slight discrepancy be- ‘tween area total and the one given in the European table must be referred to the inaccuracy of the native measurements. The European estimate is deemed the more correct. The recent European estimate of popu ation of the whole empire is 402.680.000. For China proper the European estimate is 386,000.000. The natural increase from births during the several vears which intervened between the two estimates would account for the difference. There are the four districts now under the sway of the Boxer movement than there are in the United States: bu- the interior is so sparsely settled that the sum total may be rather overestimated.
